The artwork:
Jean Cocteau was a Renaissance man: a poet, novelist, painter and film director. My first encounter is when I was 13 years old at a book shop with my mum. She picked up his poetry book from the shelf and showed me the one she really liked. Then she bought me the book and I have explored his world since then. He has become one of my favourite and I thought I would do a T-shirt design.
The shirts:
These t shirts are unique for being made exclusively for us wholly with fibres ring spun into yarns manufactured exclusively for WeAdmire. These yarns are then knitted into a single jersey fabric suitable for t shirts.
The CoolMax bit exploits the surface tension of water to wick moisture from your skin. It works through micro channels engineered into the profile of the fibre. These channels are physical attributes, they are there for the life of the fibre.
The Fresh FX bit embeds a silver salt in the molecular structure of the fibre that stops the propagation of bacteria which, left unchecked, ultimately cause a sour odour. Because the silver salt is embedded within the fibre it, like the wicking, is similarly permanent; it will not leech out with wear and washing.
These attributes deliver shirts that remain cool and dry almost regardless of what you might do in them and similarly they remain fresh. And the ongoing performance of the fabric is guaranteed. This is important, these shirts will become your favourite items of apparel, you will want to wear your shirts again and again.
These shirts are marvellous to travel with, they stay fresh if you don't have the chance to wash them, they wash easily when you do have the chance, and they dry super quickly. There is also a very useful side effect to all this: our shirts keep anything you wear on top of them and what you might wear after wearing them fresher too.
The cut and fit and sizing of these shirts is exclusive to us and was specified by Anastasia Vouyouka, a published guru of fit in the fashion industry.
The feel of the very best natural fibre shirts you have experienced with the performance of the fibres that set the benchmarks for wicking and freshness. It is very unlikely you will have experienced this level of technical performance in a decorated t shirt before.

High school can be a notoriously tough time – you're still living at home so you have to ask permission to go to parties, you want money but you don't want to be seen flipping burgers, you need a nice car and nice clothes and you want to be popular. As a former prom queen and the most popular girl in my school I feel that I'm qualified to guide you on your route to popularity and the life that you've always dreamed of.
One of the key things that I must stress is that you should start early. Yes, that means elementary school and middle school. Nobody cares too much in elementary school what you look like, so if you don't look good yet, don't worry – there's still time. We'll come on to that in a moment. Make friends with as many people as possible and that includes the geeks and the loners. You don't have to go around handing your cell number out to everyone and you don't have to hang out with these guys at all. Just have a chat with them once in a while, maybe when nobody can see and be nice for five minutes. If they say hi to you when you're with the cooler kids or the jocks, you don't have to reply. Just make eye contact and smile – they'll still be pleased.
The reason you need to make friends with those guys is that they can vote for you to become the prom queen. In every school there are more average kids than popular ones, so even if none of the other popular kids votes for you, you can still win! After you've won you don't really need to keep up your friendship with them either!
You're obviously going to want to try to get on the cheerleading squad, but you'd better have some other strings to your bow. Try to mix athletics or sports with something creative. You could play in the school orchestra or sing in the choir. This exposes you to people you might otherwise never meet, and they all have a vote. It also looks good to the teachers if you're involved in a lot of school activities.
You'd better try to get good grades, too. At least in something. If you're known to be really strong in one or two subjects people will remember you much more than if you're average across the board. You also want to avoid getting caught doing anything that will get you into trouble. So don't be tempted to drink alcohol or take drugs if word of it could get back to your school. It's probably best if your partying friends don't live in your school district and they should be older anyway. That way you can get the best of both worlds.
Now comes the key to all this. You've got to look just right. If you look great, that's more than half the battle won already because guess what? People are attracted to attractive people! Even for the frumpiest girl there is hope – get your hair, make up and clothes right and you're bound to look better. And if you're naturally good looking, that's no reason to rest on your laurels!
I would say statistically that most girls that look really great go for straightened hair, roughly around elbow length or slightly shorter. They might use highlights but nothing too unnatural-looking. You're trying to bring beauty out, not impose it. If you have naturally blonde or black hair then you should definitely keep your natural color. Otherwise, try to go for a soft brown or a strawberry blonde. Mousy brown hair is not going to win you any contests and neither is pink. If you have ginger or auburn hair, it's doable so long as it goes well with your complexion and you are extremely pretty.
You can get a good hair straightener to use at home without spending all of your allowance – just take a look at some of Juliet's favorites. Of course you are going to wash and style your hair every day – you don't want to be seen with bed hair ever. Even a baseball cap is better than that.
You'll need to look sophisticated so try to buy clothing from the big brands that people will notice. Anything with Chanel or Dior on it will get attention. A preppy look will bolster your image as the smart and beautiful girl-next-door. If you wear a Harvard or Yale sweater this will also win you points with the nerds. Whatever it is, make sure it's clean and smells great.
As for makeup, definitely keep it subtle. It will all depend on your complexion but a touch of eyeshadow, foundation, lip gloss, blush and eyeliner can work wonders. Also, if you're quite pale, you might want to think about going to a tanning salon. I guess if you live in southern California or Florida you've already taken care of that at the beach.
There are a few other things that you can work on, too, such as using great manners, going to church (if that's how you were brought up), going to classy restaurants, art galleries and so on. Try to people the girl that everyone else wants to be!0

Discover NORTHWEST Flavor
.Cirrus 5oz
.Cirrus 5oz
Cirrus is our Pacific Northwest variation on French soft-ripened cheese. This rich cheese grows creamier and more indulgent with age when it develops a nutty, buttery flavor and a gooey texture that will soothe your palate.
2019: American Cheese Society - 1st Place in Class
2018: American Cheese Society - 2nd Place in Class
2017: American Cheese Society - 1st Place in Class
2016: American Cheese Society - 1st Place in Class
2015: US Cheese Championship - 3rd Place in Class
Cirrus pairs well with pears, apples and figs, but it's creamy, buttery flavor is versatile enough to enjoy with dark chocolate, charcuterie, and preserves
Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Reisling
Cirrus's best by date is 65 days after it is made. When it's young (65-45 days prior to the best by date) it has a milky fresh, salty flavor with a bit of acidity. As it matures (45 to 20 days prior to the best by date) the ripening will become more noticeable on the outer section of the paste. Within 20 days of the best by date the cheese should be mostly ripened. The ripened area will have a translucent, cream color, which will appear very different from the white unripened section.
Opinions vary on the optimal time to enjoy soft ripened cheese. If you like lighter flavor and a firmer texture, then earlier is better. If you prefer stronger flavors and a soft, creamy texture, then wait until it's closer to the sell by date. Remember this style of cheese changes dramatically as it ages. Experiencing the cheese at different ages is part of the fun, so don't be afraid to experiment.

Things I am watching on eBay
- Black cat brooches, to be pinned to orange dress for Halloween Actionettes gig
- Black spider brooches, as above, but they're too scary and I know I'd keep seeing them on my dress and freaking out
- Vintage biscuit tins and canisters. Plan is to buy some and bake amazing cookies, and give these as homemade Christmas gifts in the tins
- Usual lineup of 70s vintage dresses with puffy sleeves, patterned yokes and A-line skirts. Sigh.

Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, you'll find lots of places to get wet off Spain. For the best, head to the dramatic Costa Brava and
explore the marine park-protected Medes Islands. Here, explosive red and vivid yellow gorgonians light up the reef they share with a wonderful line-up of
marine life, including curious octopus, cocky groupers (they're protected and know it), rays, and conger eels. Discover the Dolphin Cave, where light beams
gather to dance with lack of inhibition. From Roquestas de Mar to San Juan de los Terreros, Almeria offers natural parks, marine reserves, protected areas and natural underwater monuments across over 60 different dive sites catering to all levels of diver. Thrill seekers should head to the Straits of Gibraltar, where strong currents bring in big pelagics and mobs of
tuna, or the famous waters off the Canary Islands. The Canary Islands, which sit off the coast of Morocco, offer tropical, year-round dive conditions, and
cinematic underwater seascapes, including caves and caverns, intact shipwrecks and reefs that abound with fish. Between dives, indulge in a European
culture known for siestas, music, dance, fiestas, art, cuisine and fine Spanish wine.
Note: Travel to any
destination may be adversely affected by conditions including (but not limited)
to security, entry and exit requirements, health conditions, local laws and
culture, natural disasters and climate. Regardless of your destination,
check your local travel advisory board or department for travel advice
about that location when planning your trip and again shortly before you leave.

With the diving spread between the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands, there's a lot of cuisine options, in Valencia alone there more than 1,500
restaurants. The best idea is to look for restaurants with local fare, such as paella, tapas, or fresh seafood in the Canary Islands. Note that dinners
start and run late in Spain.
Like the restaurant scene, the bar scene is even more lively as the Spanish like to stay up all night. You'll find wonderful wines throughout the country
from the reds in the north to the sparkling wines (cava) in Catalonia. And, of course, sangria – a mixture of wine, juice, brandy and fruit pieces typifies Spain. There are several well-established national Spanish beer brands, but also some great regional beers.
First, you've got to plan your day around the siesta, the world's best custom. After that, music, art, ancient cities and fortresses, bullfighting, running
from bulls, tomato fights, wine country, mountain biking, road biking, horseback rides in the country, there's a long list of things to keep you busy.
The Spaniards eat dinner late, stay up late, enjoy socializing and love sports. What's not to like.
La Tomatina, Bunol, August, an annual tomato fight that takes over the city; San Fermin, the famed Running of the Bulls, Pamplona, July; Tamborrada de San
Sebastian, San Sebastian drum festival, January 1; La Endiablada, Cuenca, festival of people disguised as devils, February; Festival of Moors and
Christians, countrywide, April; La Rioja Wine Festival, Longrono, September.
230V/50HZ; Internet is common throughout country.
Water is safe to drink.
Spanish, but English is widely spoken.
These flat sharks inhabit the sand around the reefs off the Canary Islands.
Found throughout the Mediterranean, these schooling fish can be seen on most dives in the region.
Most often found in holes and caves, moray eels sometimes venture out so divers can see their entire snakelike length.
These brilliantly colored fish do, indeed, possess remarkably parrot-like beaks that they use to grind coral structures so they can eat the soft coral
animals inside.
Wily and secretive, the octopus is often found in holes and crannies of reefs.
Found in the Canary Island during autumn months.
These predatory fish are often seen on the reefs.
Formed off the Canary Islands, these thick aggregations of sardines bring in predators from near and far for a spectacular feeding frenzy.
Mottled in scaly patterns of reds and browns, the scorpionfish can blend easily with polyp-encrusted rocks, but its venomous dorsal spines render this
beauty a danger.
These cephalopods can entertain you for hours with their color and shape shifting displays.
Located just south of the lighthouse, the sloping bottom of this sandy bay features several beds of sea grass, which shelter small fish and crustaceans.
Look for damselfish, long-snouted wrasse, rainbow wrasse, painted comber, red mullet (goatfish), cow bream, two-banded bream and white bream.
Enter the water from a small gravel beach at the foot of a staircase cut into a low cliff. The bay itself is large and is sheltered by a line of large
rocks that stand clear of the water. Look for octopus, cardinal fish, damselfish, green wrasse, tube worms, sea cucumber, and brill, in addition to the
sponges and sea urchins. A bed of sea grass at the mouth of the bay hosts barracuda, moray eels, and dentex (large bream).
This bay alternates between sandy patches and rocky reef covered with sea grass. Follow a gently sloping canyon out to a sandy plain at the mouth of the
bay, watching for white bream, two banded bream, cow bream, red mullet, rainbow wrasse, long-snouted wrasse and damselfish.
This location offers multiple dives, including reefs, walls, caves, and wrecks. Look for barracuda, octopus, moray eels, jacks, grouper, wrasse, goatfish,
cardinal fish, damsel fish, blennies, gobies, starfish, sea urchins, sponges, and hard and soft corals.
In addition to the prolific marine life, this site is renowned for its underwater topography of natural arches, caves, tunnels, swim-throughs, and cliffs.
Look for huge shoals of roncadores (grunts), damselfish, sardines, barracuda, bream, wrasse, and parrotfish, as well as rays, seahorse, glass-eye
squirrelfish and gorgonians.
This long reef features a rock garden with crevices sheltering octopus, cuttlefish, trumpetfish, glass-eye squirrelfish, cardinalfish, scorpionfish, moray
eels, brittle stars, sea urchins and nudibranchs.
This rocky shore hosts sea urchins, wrasse, damselfish, mullet, octopus, cuttlefish, small rays and angel sharks. In autumn small mobula rays feed here
beside the small caves and overhangs.
This unique site is largely man-made, with a beach built from imported Saharan sand and a man-made barrier of natural rock to keep the beach from washing
away. Marine life has moved in, so divers may see arrowhead crabs, razorfish, gold-line bream, parrotfish, hermit crabs, sea cucumbers, urchins,
lizardfish, and (outside the barrier) hundreds of sardines forming bait balls.
This rocky ridge offers an immense cavern and a dramatic landscape of volcanic formations that host parrotfish, rainbow wrasse, Turkish wrasse, moray eels,
glass-eye squirrelfish, arrow crabs, white bream, almaco jacks, guelly jacks, wide-eyed flounders, stingrays, and a colony of red sea ferns.
Sites at this location include Baja Ribera (a steep needle of rock housing dragonhead scorpionfish, moray eels, and lobsters), Bajon (a vertical drop-off
where strong oceanic currents bring pelagic visitors), and Caleta (a ridge full of caves, crevices, and large arch).
Here the Gador's mountain reaches down into the sea and presents 10 different dive sites. Enjoy fields of anemones, colorful nudibranchs and flat worms, gorgonians, crabs, octopus, cuttlefishes, squids, sea urchins, sea stars, rays, eels, sunfish, and occasionally dolphins and tuna.
A volcanic origin area with warm water offering up to 35 meters visibility across more than 40 dive sites. Big rocks, caverns, and passages mix with sea grass meadows and Mediterranean flora and fauna including groupers, moray and conger eels, sea horses and an array of vibrant corals.

About Us|Contact Us|Media
News, commentary & perspective from Visa Bureau
The 2009-10 Australian Budget was released today, which came with the announcement that the 2009-10 Australian skilled migration program has been slashed by a further 6,900 places. As a result, the skilled migration intake now stands at 108,100 places for the next year; over 25,000 places less than the migration program initially set as part of the 2008-09 Budget.
The news shouldn't come as much of a surprise, considering the pressure the Australian Government has been under recently to focus on securing 'Australian jobs for Australians' and make migration cuts in this time of economic strife. Even though March saw the 2008-09 skilled migration program capped to 115,000 places, further reductions seemed inevitable.
In addition to the cutback in places, the Government also announced that the English language level required for trades-related occupations would be increased. Previously, skilled visa applicants in trades occupations who were NOT passport holders of the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada or New Zealand were required to score at least 5.0 out of 9.0 in each of the 4 competencies (listening, reading, writing and speaking) of an IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test. However, from 1 July 2009, these same applicants must now score a higher score of at least 6.0 out of 9.0 in each of the 4 competencies.
The core message of the 2009-10 skilled migration program seems to be that the changes implemented earlier this year are here to stay. I refer specifically to the emphasis put on government-sponsored visa subclasses over the independent alternatives, as applicants for the Skilled- Sponsored (subclass 176, State) visa will continue to be fast-tracked and this subclass will remain uncapped.
The CSL (Critical Skills List) will also remain in place for those people seeking to migrate to Australia without a sponsor, but no further occupations have been added or removed.
The hardest thing to predict will be the processing timeframes for applicants who are not state-sponsored or applying under a CSL-listed occupation. For the two lowest priority groups (i.e. applicants who are applying under an occupation listed on the MODL (Migration Occupation in Demand List) and applicants who are not MODL-listed and are applying for an independent or family-sponsored visa), I would expect to see some movement with these cases come 1 July 2009.
Unfortunately, applicants in these groups will still have their applications under the threat of being suspended until July 2010, especially if there is an abundance of applications that are state-sponsored and/or CSL-listed. Should this backlog of low priority applications grow too high, we should be prepared for such significant changes as the removal of occupations from the MODL and possibly even the visa subclass pass marks being raised.
So, while processing times might look bleak for low priority groups currently, I would urge that anyone who would fall into one of these lower priority groups to apply for their visa now, as their continued eligibility under the Australian skilled migration program cannot be guaranteed.

I was struck by the fact that that the vast majority of the quotes Sengoopta cites appear to be from no later than 1961 — but things have come a long way since then, and this smattering of quotes surely does not exhaust critical reception of Satyajit Ray's trilogy in the West over the last half-century. Sengoopta's indifference to the continuing reception of Ray's work "abroad" (especially given that many of Ray's other films have only recently begun to garner a wider audience, thanks to retrospectives and DVD releases; a phenomenon Sengoopta passes over in silence even as he makes the sweeping statement that "[a]s Ray's later films dealt in greater and greater depth with Indian history and culture, his western critics (with some honourable exceptions like Philip French or Ray's biographers Marie Seton and Andrew Robinson) simply did not try to engage with the specifically Indian elements...."), leaves one with the impression that he is fighting a battle from long-ago.
The essence of Sengoopta's piece is contained in the following excerpt:
There's no doubt western critics loved the trilogy—but to what extent did they comprehend its contents and contexts? Based on two classic novels by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay, the films were Bengali to the core, and often harshly realistic in portraying social change, economic malaise and individual growth. Although set in the 1930s, they were tinged, as Indian critics have rightly pointed out, with the optimistic modernism of Nehru's India. How much of this was appreciated by viewers who knew little about India and Bengal? ... It is, no doubt, a good thing that Ray's Indianness is no longer explained with ethnocentric stereotypes. Is it much of an advance, though, to strip away his Indian identity and regard him only as a purveyor of universalist "nuances"?
I share Sengoopta's unease with the "local" being stripped away from Ray's work in favor of a "universalism" that threatens to submerge identity, but the article proves too much: for instance, what does "India and Bengal" mean? Many, if not most, of the film's non-Bengali viewers will not have intimate "insider" knowledge of rural Bengal either; indeed, how many Calcuttans would either? (Conversely, how many of Bengal's rural denizens -- themselves a diverse group -- will get the opportunity to watch Ray's films?) If the point is that one needs to be well-versed in the social and political intricacies of early twentieth century-Bengal, then Sengoopta should make that point (although, even there, the point is surely amenable to general application; does the average global reader of Jane Austen really know more about her world than the average viewer of Ray's films does about Bengal?) — rather than setting up some kind of halfway house, whereby the point is juxtaposed with the implication that a certain segment of viewers, simply by virtue of being Bengali or Indian, have unfettered and unproblematic access to the world of the film. That is, while decrying ethno-stereotyping, Sengoopta seems to have himself made the Apu Trilogy into something akin to "folk art", not only a Bengali work of art but a work of art that is nothing more nor less than its Bengaliness. Indeed, the answer to the question of just who the "outsider" is cannot be assumed. Taking just two examples, given that the Apu Trilogy is the cinematic adaptation of a Bengali novel (itself an art-form invented in Western Europe, and, arguably, assuming "Western" notions of subjectivity and narration); and that Ray was obviously very familiar with Western culture and learning (more so, perhaps, than many in his Indian audience) it is obvious that questions of access run the other way too...

I understand for many of us watching a generation protesting over and over again, and not producing anything worthwhile but a fresh sound bite and new images for our 24 hour news cycle, can be disheartening. Many are frustrated and want change, I get it. Yet if they truly desire change in their culture, they have backed themselves into a difficult predicament. They have an abundance of rhetoric without an actionable direction of effort. Solomon wrote "In all labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads only to poverty." (Proverbs 14:23)
Words without actions are empty. Words without the right kind of actions exist in the same shapeless void. We can scream and yell about what we want all day every day and still have nothing. We need to invest focused exertion to fulfill the expectation of our goals. Change requires the daily investment of action. Maybe it's time we stop talking about what we want to see and start leading with a Godly example. Let each of us set the standard of what it looks like to role up our sleeves and get the job done.

ISSUE-133: Update Exclusive C14N Schema [Errata-C14N] http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/issues/133 Raised by: Scott Cantor On product: Errata-C14N I was pointed to an errata list[1] for the original excl c14n spec by somebody that was trying to schema-validate and found that there's an error in the schema for the InclusiveNamespaces extension[2]. Are we planning to update/incorporate this at all in the 1.1 spec deliverable? Just wondering what I should tell my users. For the time being, I just suggested leaving the schema out so the lax validation would skip it. -- Scott [1] http://www.w3.org/2002/07/xml-exc-c14n-errata [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-ietf-xmldsig/2002OctDec/0037.htmlReceived on Monday, 8 June 2009 14:25:39 UTC

Joonas Nieminen needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 143 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Tuned is a nonstop video streaming service. We play the best of Youtube, the web in a simple, streamlined site. More than just sifting through and selecting videos on Youtube, we curate your video needs.
Our Slogan "We stream it, You Rock it!"
I picked up some cool pages to attachments. Just to give some inspiration. But the site doesn´t have to be like any of those. I hope to get some very inspirational ideas.
We need new front page where user can choose format.
New designs:
-New front page. -->link to Music, TV, Sports
- New designs for page where is the playlists (this is on the site currently)
- Design can be same on every format (music, tv, sports), but maybe different colors
- Links to other formats
-New design for player page.
There can be video on pages as we have now. But if you think that ain´t necessary then we leave it out.
Visit on tuned.rocks . As you see, we now have just music video site, but we are expanding to other formats as well. Other ones will be "TV" (vlogs, documentaries, funny videos, etc.) and "Sports" and probably later on something else. So the site is not just about the music.

MUMBAI/BANGALORE: DLF, India's biggest real estate developer, has put on the block the second phase of its under-construction IT special economic zone project in Pune'sHinjewadi for an anticipated Rs 250 crore, a move in line with the company's strategy to pare its debt by exiting non-core projects and businesses.
The developer has started negotiating with private equity firms and local developers for selling the 29-acre project which has a built-up area of 2.9 million sq ft, barely a week after it sold its 74% stake in a life insurance joint venture, three persons close to the development told ET. DLF and its JV partner Hubtown have already sold the completed 1.8-m sq ft first phase of the project to Blackstone for Rs 810 crore.
"As the project is still under construction and tenancy agreements are yet to be entered into, the valuation for the second phase of Pune SEZ will be lower than the completed and leased-out first phase, which was sold to Blackstone," said one of the persons, who did not wish to be named. "The developer is looking to conclude the transaction by the end of the year."
DLF puts Pune IT special economic zone on the block
In response to an email query, DLF said the company did not comment on market speculation. Cushman & Wakefield, appointed by the developer for executing the transaction, also refused to comment. The intended sale is part of its strategy to reduce its debt by Rs 4,000 crore by the end of this financial year.

Get the Look: Lea Michele at the 2010 Emmy Awards./
NARS Cosmetics worked with celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis to create the makeup look for Lea Michele at the 2010 Emmy Awards. Many products from NARS' new Fall Collection were key creating the look.
"My inspiration was the era of the 60's. I thought of Raquel Welch and Bridget Bardot: the winged eye, the nude lip. The dress is so classic, so we wanted to be adventurous with her eyes– giving a dash of color with the new Palladium Soft Touch Shadow Pencil – and kept the lip nude with Tashkent Pure Matte!"
Lea Michele wore the following products to achieve a playful yet classic look:
- PRO-PRIME Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base & Skin Smoothing Face Prep
- Douceur Blush (NEW for Fall 2010)
- Tzarine Duo Eyeshadow (NEW for Fall 2010)
- Palladium Soft Touch Shadow Pencil (NEW for Fall 2010)
- Tashkent Pure Matte Lipstick (NEW for Fall 2010)

UK Highs Review
As you will most likely know UK Highs trading at www.ukhighs.com are already a Trusted Vendor so that means that we have already received samples of their products and were happy with the service and haven't had any bad feedback or people e-mailing us complaining that they have been scammed etc by UK Highs.
Another thing we do to test the 'trustworthy-ness' of the research chemical and legal high vendors that grace our Trusted Vendors page is make mystery shopper style orders from the sites to make sure that they are as good at customer service and treat customers the same as us they did us when joining the Trusted Vendors scheme.
UK Highs Review
We made an order for 3 products from UK Highs and chose there recorded postage option on Wednesday evening and we paid using paypal which is not usually accepted from this type of retailer so its a very welcomed surprise.
The order went through smoothly and the website was easy to use with plenty of information about payment options and shipping.
When we checked our e-mail on Thursday afternoon we got an e-mail saying that the payment had been received and our order had been sent out.
Our order arrived pronto and well packaged inside a bubble lined mailer, The products were – as we experienced before – high quality and themselves well packaged.
On another note, along with APB pellets, Doob, M@ry joy incense, Black mamba, Benzo fury, Blue genie and many more they are now stocking 5-MAPB pellets – available here.

Useful post for freelancers in Lebanon!
For starters, you will need to get your tax identification number to avoid a 7.5% fee on your earnings (if the company you are working for takes their accounting seriously). Yes, you do have options to do things under the table (this is Lebanon after all!), but if you are serious about being able to grow your services into a full-fledged business (like me), you will need to do things the right way.
I recently went to get my tax identification number so that I can start doing some contract work in my field of Web Development and Agile Consulting. I worked as a consultant for 3 years in the US as part of a small consultancy called OpenSource Connections, before starting work on Jogabo (you can take a look at my past experiences here). But now that I am in Lebanon, I am starting to give workshops (eg.

More Affordable Way To Put Solar Panels On Your House?
As I write this, there is a bill being discussed here in Los Angeles that would make it easier for people to install solar panels on their home. The major obstacle that most people face is the price; for a medium-sized home it would cost about $20,000 for installation (before state and federal rebates), which makes them a major purchase for almost anyone. However, if this bill gets passed, the city would loan homeowners money to install the panels and spread the payments over 20 years on top of their property tax bill. Personally, I think this is a brilliant idea as homeowners would not need any money up front to put solar on their house – they can have them installed and starting saving money (and possibly making money by selling power back to the grid) right away, no up-front investment necessary. If the homeowner moves, the loan gets transferred to the new owner. It's a win-win for everyone, really. I hope we start seeing more of these types of incentives all over the country, as natural gas and oil prices are skyrocketing. People need all the help they can get!

What Are You in The Mood For? Cappuccino, Latte or Hot Chocolate?
I'm a huge cappuccino fan, but I'm also partial to a Hot Chocolate or Latte when the mood takes me. This is where this amazing milk frother by Krups comes in. It not only froths your milk to a perfect foam but also has 3 individual settings that can be activated by the simple push of a button. One to prepare cappuccino, another for latte and a final one for a delicious hot chocolate. With each setting preparing the right consistency and layers of milk for the specifically for each beverage.
Not only that but this milk frother is self contained. Simply pour in up to 300ml of Milk into is brushed steel body. Set it down on the base unit, press a button and leave it to do its magic! It also features a sturdy, clear plastic lid which stops the foam from spilling over the side of the frother and a convenient soft rubber/plastic handle which you can use to pour the foam straight into your favourite latte glasses!
The Verdict?
This is a quality frother which features an extremely clever idea and a durable steel construction. This would make for an amazing birthday or Christmas present or the prefect way to really treat yourself.

Marine lights keep people safe on the water, there is simply no doubt about it. For years, most marine lighting was done with incandescent light bulbs, but this has started to change. Many are now aware that LED lights are far more efficient, and tend to last longer as well.
LED, or light-emitting diodes, are the wave of the future for Marine Lights. In many cases, they are the wave of the present, since many a coast guard has already made the switch to LED. Fairly soon, marine navigation lighting by incandescent bulb will be a thing of the past.
Coast Guard Marine Lights
The United States Coast Guard, an organization that surely knows marine lights well, stands behind the switch to LED lighting. In fact, they have officially endorsed the LED for those who provide PATONs, or Private Aids TO Navigation. This is a switch that bodes well for makers of the LED devices.
Why did the Coast Guard make the switch from incandescent marine lights to LEDs? There are actually many reasons, not the least of which is LED efficiency. With an LED lighting device, you'll have lighting for approximately twenty times longer than with an incandescent bulb.
Just as impressively, LED marine lights use far less electricity than their incandescent counterparts. Studies show that LED lights can use as much as ninety percent less power than incandescent bulbs. This makes them a far more efficient lighting resource.
The durability of Marine Lights
Navigational lights are going to be put to the test in terms of dealing with the environment. You simply can't have a lighting device in the water and expect it to remain pristine for long. Happily, LED lights, as a rule, are very durable and can handle even the roughest water conditions.
The maintenance on LED lights is basically a dream come true. They require next to no maintenance whatsoever, so you won't have to worry about your navigational lighting. They are also compact but pack quite a wallop of light for their size.
You can find many excellent LED navigational lights, including those that are solar powered. These are truly energy efficient since they harness the power of the sun to make them work. On the following pages, we'll give you more information about LED marine lights, and why they're so effective.

September, this golden month, promises to be god-awful. We have reached the presumed moment of a turning point on Iraq policy and so the White House wishes to turn back the clock.
It dials back to 2002, 2003 and to the 2004 presidential campaign. It returns us to a time of relentless rhetoric depicting those who oppose the Iraq misadventure as unpatriotic or unsupportive of the troops or, in the president's latest iteration, unprincipled politicians. The decisions about what to do now in Iraq should not be driven by a "nervous reaction by Washington politicians to poll results in the media," President Bush says. He instead wants the decisions to be driven by a nervous reaction by politicians to his Labor Day publicity stunt in Iraq's Anbar province.
During the taxpayer-funded photo-op, Bush's picture was taken with cheering Marines and the president gave glowing accounts of improved security. But he could not venture beyond the heavily fortified base.
Dueling reports on Iraq, and differing interpretations of them, are to be the backdrop for bitter contention. The guidepost for which of these to believe is this: The greater the distance its authors are from the Bush White House, the more believable the assessment.
A credible account came on Tuesday when the Government Accountability Office said that the Iraqi government had met only three of the 18 "benchmarks" it was supposed to have achieved by now. These "benchmarks" did not originate with the Democratic Congress, nor in the sterile safety of a think tank. They were created by the White House itself-promoted as the very reason for the so-called military "surge." The increased U.S. military presence was supposed to give Iraqi politicians the breathing room they needed to make the political compromises that would allow the country to save itself from fratricidal disintegration.
Those political benchmarks that have been met-one of eight legislative tasks has been completed, the GAO says-are remarkable in their insignificance. The single legislative achievement thus far is that the rights of minority political parties in Iraq's legislature are respected. Not the rights of minorities in the country. Just in the legislature. None of the hard political work-say, coming up with a way to share the country's oil wealth or disarm militias-has been done.
Our Summer Campaign Is Underway
Support Common Dreams Today
Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
On the security front, where the president and some in the military insist that the American "surge" is working, the GAO differs. Only two of nine security benchmarks have been met, it says. Some others, such as the training of brigades of Iraqi troops, are works in progress. Still, the report notes: "The government has not eliminated militia control of local security, eliminated political intervention in military operations, ensured even-handed enforcement of the law, increased army units capable of independent operations or ensured that political authorities made no false accusations against security forces."
David Walker, the comptroller general and head of the GAO, is the sort of nonpartisan wonk who used to hold sway in Washington, back when demonstrable facts were respected more than delusional spin. He testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday and was asked, inevitably, about the purported progress in Anbar province.
"No question there's been progress in Anbar province," Walker said. "But Anbar province is not Baghdad," nor, he went on, is it any other part of Iraq. Even if American troops succeed in pacifying neighborhoods and eventually turning them over to Iraqi security forces, Walker said, "I think there is a serious question as to whether they, on their own, will be able to hold these neighborhoods."
A nation without a functioning central government, where basic public services aren't delivered, where militias with allegiance to tribes and sects often control security, where corruption and malfeasance in provincial governments are rampant and where thousands of people, notably the most educated and affluent, are fleeing, can no longer be considered a nation struggling to its feet. It can't even be considered a country sundered by civil war.
Iraq is a failed state. It is the geopolitical nightmare the American occupation was supposed to prevent. A politician so blindly loyal to the Bush White House that he or she cannot see this reality must be asked a single question, until it is finally answered. Walker posed it as well as anyone: "If we're going to stay ... what are we going to do?"

Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".
With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm--in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledging company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers.
Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 1,500 people, while more than 25,000 people join our "extended family" of customers each year.
At Jayco, our mission statement is: Committed to being the most respected name in recreation vehicles. We will consistently build a high quality, high value, competitively priced product at acceptable margins, treat every situation with the highest level of integrity in a timely manner, and continually work to reduce total cost to achieve acceptable returns.

Earlier this week, the music world lost a gifted composer. Stephen Paulus died on October 19 from complications following a stroke in July. Over the course of his career, Paulus wrote 13 pieces for #opera (including his most famous, The Postman Always Rings Twice), 55 works for orchestra, and over 400 songs for #chorus (including Pilgrims' Hymn, sung at the funerals of two presidents, and the Holocaust oratorio To Be Certain of the Dawn).
We had the distinct pleasure of working with Stephen Paulus back in 2005 when we commissioned him to write a piece called Sweet Soul. We include a recording of it so that you can appreciate his artistry, featuring guest soloist Rosalie Grace Sullivan.

Antonia Mrljak is a Sydney-based artist whose particular approach to painting sees her vivid storage of memory and experiences finding themselves in the movement and definitive marks she leaves on paper and canvas. This comes from a past full of vibrancy and culture, but also turbulence and conflict. Her connection to memory is an embodied and figurative one, which is naturally processed through painting and drawings.
Largely self-taught, and in her final year of a painting major at the Sydney College of the Arts, Antonia's art practice has developed through professional mentoring relationships; a commitment to community arts programs through mentoring youth at Juniperina Juvenile Justice Center; and a continuing effort to find a deeper connection to space and objects, and the emotion and intimacy that connects them to our place in the world.
She says of her practice: "I am looking at ideas of place and identity. Through my research I am discerning what it means to be in place, nature, dream or culture and how certain imagery, shapes and objects have an immediate intimacy that develops into personal memory. The way we live, the culture of our living, perpetuates speed and abandon. We take and use what we need when we need it, then discard it, and yet we still have a yearning to belong and find meaning in our places and things. I take this to my painting, and develop abstract settings that we can pause in, understand, and find a deeper connection to our intimate spaces."

Michigan Review – Fight the Fashion
Do you like to stand out from the crowd? Are you an individualist? If so, you probably want to avoid dressing to stereotype.
This humorous piece by Nadia Danienta was written for the Michigan Review blog but I suspect it could apply to many college campuses across America.
U-M Campus Fashion
Attending the University of Michigan means having to watch the fashion faux pas rampant amongst the stereotypical groups of students.
The Freshman
Freshman year is that awkward stage every student encounters in college. Characterized by a wide-eyed look and a hint of over-eagerness, the freshman can be seen sporting head to toe Michigan gear at an attempt to prove that they belong. The freshman always has a campus map handy in their back pocket and a lanyard to carry their Mcard and housing key. Do not be surprised if you see a freshman riding the Bursley/Baits bus with their horde of other freshmen friends.
The Frat Guy
Usually spotted with a can of beer in one hand and an iPhone in the other, the frat guy is usually within a 5-foot radius of a sorority girl (See: Sorority Girl). Abiding to their own unspoken set of fashion rules, every frat guy must own a pair of Sperry Topsiders, Ray Ban sunglasses, khaki shorts, and a smug sense of superiority. Seeing a frat guy, you may ask yourself – how many different colored polos do they own?
The Hipster
It's pretty easy to dress as a wannabe hipster, just pick up a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, even if you don't really need the prescription. However, a true hipster can be seen consorting with the likes of Nietzsche and asking thought provoking questions. Hipsters prefer to be against the mainstream fashions, yet many are seen wearing vintage and thrift store inspired clothes. A hipster cannot be seen in public without a worn looking flannel shirt, tight fitting jeans, and converse sneakers or combat boots. If you want to be a hipster you should head to Urban Outfitters or American Apparel to achieve that effortless bohemian look. But to truly exude the attitude of a hipster, pair your tight jeans with an androgynous hairstyle featuring unruly strands of hair or ask for side swept bangs at your next hair appointment.

Artist: "Henry Rollins"
Album: "The Boxed Life"
Genre: Spoken Word
Label: Imago Records
Reviewer: -RoG-
Posted: 6/1/2008
Review: Talk about a classic... this is the epitome of Henry Rollins' spoken word albums. It's a 2-disc collection of some of his finest live sets from the late eighties and early nineties. Hearing these live performances shows Henry at his very best, for he doesn't belong in a studio, he belongs on stage in front of a crowd sharing his opinions and stories of all his crazy life experiences. Talking about nervousness on airplanes, turning his hatred of people (Edie Brickell) into an art form, "Happy Guy" the movie versus "Psycho Manic Depressive Motherfucker" the movie, the frog with more intestinal fortitude than anybody on the planet... this album is simply chock full of great material that you need to hear. The two tracks on the subject of strength are memorable as hell, so if you do nothing else, make sure you listen to both of 'em.
If you haven't heard any of Henry Rollins' spoken word material before, The Boxed Life is a great place to start. As Rollins so eloquently puts it, "sleep deprivation makes everything neat," and this album is shining proof of just that.

'Robert Indiana: Beyond LOVE,' at the Whitney Museum
Retrospective should raise the reputation of this Pop artist
New York
'I was the least Pop of all the Pop artists," Robert Indiana once said. That's probably why, so far, he's finished just out of the running for a medal in the field. (Andy Warhol, of course, got the gold, Roy Lichtenstein the silver and Claes Oldenburg the bronze.) The problem seems to be that Mr. Indiana—who was born in 1928 and changed his surname in 1958 from Clark to that of his home state—was an anomalously sincere Pop artist. Unlike the ethereally ironic Warhol, the deadpan faux-comic-book Lichtenstein...

This post is the first of a series on CAD for Hobbyists. Be sure to check back for more posts in the series.
I get to use CAD software almost everyday. There are so many programs currently available it can be hard to choose one. At work, I alternate between two of the larger players in the CAD game, Inventor and Solidworks, dependent on client needs. I've been using both off and on since the mid-2000s, and over the years I've seen each one add a ton of features (and fix a ton of bugs). More often than not, when one of them adds a great feature, in the next year or two the other will add a similar feature leveling the playing field in the CAD software feature arms race. With the current versions of both packages it is hard to say who is currently ahead. Certainly, each package has its quirks and you have to take a minute to adjust to how each functions, but to the average user the packages offer the same features.
If you made me choose between the two as to which I prefer, I would have to go with Solidworks. As a disclaimer to this choice however, I have spent more time invested in Solidworks in the past 5 years than I have with Inventor (I happen to be a Certified Solidworks Professional). That said, if I was forced to use only Inventor going forward I would make the adjustment with only a few minor complaints.
While both Inventor and Solidworks are great pieces of software they do have a major downside: they are expensive. For a business, this usually isn't the biggest hurdle. For a hobbyist however, spending thousands of dollars on a CAD package isn't an option; if you happen to be a hobbyist who can afford this kind of expense, I'm jealous. So, when professional CAD packages are out of reach for a hobbyist, what alternatives are available?
In the past few years a lot of changes have occurred in the tools available to the average hobbyist/maker. 3D printers, low cost desktop CNCs, and free CAD packages. Typically free software is sub-par to its paid counter parts, to the boon of hobbyists, this isn't the case for the CAD packages out there. There are some really great options out there ranging from open source to commercial packages.
First we have OpenSCAD, as the name implies, an open source CAD program that uses a text based, programming like interface, for creating a 3D model. OpenSCAD is very popular in non-traditional CAD users and the 3D printing community. Next we have PTC Creo Elements, a stripped down version of the PTC Creo CAD package, itself the descendant of Pro/E. Another great free option is the web-based Onshape. Onshape is a full parametric CAD package that runs in your web-browser as well as on mobile devices with a companion app. Finally, we have Autodesk Fusion360. Fusion360 is a desktop based application that combines parametric and free-form modeling tools with integrated CAM, simulation, and rendering.
I have used four of the packages mentioned in the previous paragraph (I have not used PTC Creo Elements). Each of them has its strengths and weaknesses and offers different capabilities to different users needs. For my personal use, I've selected Fusion360. In a series of future posts, I'm going to work through a simple sample design project to compare and contrast these free CAD packages.

I told you guys that every Tuesday I would be bringing you up to date with my life and my happenings, but I have failed.... Since the last post, much has happened. I went on a really incredible trip to Mexico with my best friend and his family, I have moved into a new place, (I finally have a fax machine and my own office!), I produced the 2010 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon at the Fox16 Studios, put 3,000 miles on the new Xterra (sold my Integra), and of course I've been shooting lots of weddings, portraits, and family sessions! Leslie and I have less that 3 weeks before our wedding in St. Thomas! My life is moving really fast right now, I'm doing my absolute best to keep up. I'm not complaining though, no way! I am still blessed every day to get to do what I love and get paid for it. I can't wait to be married and settled in with my new wife! I'm extremely thankful for everyone who supports me and all of my brides for booking with me! I have so many photos that I just cant wait to show off to everyone. I need to squeeze in a little more time to blog. Here's just a few of my favorites from this past month, enjoy! Thanks for all the love!

Slight rise in Leitrim live
register figures
Live register figures for January 2015 have shown a very small rise in the number of people signing on in County Leitrim.
A monthly report released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows that a total of 2,998 people were signing on at their local Department of Social Protection offices in the county in January.
This compares to a total figure of 2,972 in December 2014. These figures represent a rise of 26 across the county.
In Carrick-on-Shannon, the number rose by 23 with 2,332 signing on in January comparing to last December's figure of 2,309. In Carrick, 307 claimants are under 25 years of age, with 189 males and 118 females. Of those 25 years of age or older, 1,220 are male while 805 are females.
In Manorhamilton, the county's only other department office, a total of 666 people were signing on over the month of January, up three from December's figure of 663. Of these 666, 404 are male, while 262 are female. 578 of those registered with the north Leitrim office were 25 years of age or over, while 88 were under 25.
These figures buck the national trend which has seen just over three years of monthly decreases in claimants across the country.
A total of 8,509 people signed on during the first month of this year in County Sligo, while County Roscommon's figures stand at 6,932.

As The New York Times wrote, the extraordinary comics TJ Jagodowski and David Pasquesi "miraculously improvise a one-hour play at every performance. This is an impressive feat of mental athletics, but the results are also observant, complex and frequently enormously funny." These improv masters from Chicago's Second City have dazzled audiences with their talent for walking out on stage without characters, dialogue or plot and creating a stunningly complex and hilarious universe on the spot. This show will include special musical guest Ike Reilly.
"One of these guys is the best improviser in the world. And the other one is better."
- Stephen Colbert
A playful verbal wit, stubborn refusal to go for the cheap laugh and most of all, an empathetic streak that gives their comedy a resonance and depth." - The New York Times
"BRILLIANT, HEARTBREAKING, MIND-BLOWING, INSPIRING! The best improv comedy that we've ever seen. But we wouldn't want to insult their effusive skills by speaking so simplistically. Also, it's funny. Drink their Kool-Aid." - Time 0ut New York

I cover Portal 24, Meredith Stroud's young adult science fiction novel dealing with time travel, and published by Hot Key Books.
When teen con-artist Darius is approached by a mysterious government agent about joining a 'Project Oberon', he has no idea what to expect. Certainly not that Project Oberon is actually a top-secret experiment which sends teens back through time to prevent disasters before they happen! Before Darius has time to wonder why he's been chosen, his first mission arrives in the form of a huge electromagnetic weapon of mass destruction, which will kill millions of people in New York - unless Darius and the team can stop it. They're confident; it's all in a day's work for these teen wonders, but what they don't bet on is evil mastermind Ludd. And what they don't know is that Ludd knows the deadly secret behind Project Oberon. If Darius and the gang don't make it back to the portal within twenty-four hours, then they'll be lost in time forever...
I saw this one crop up on NetGalley recently and it looked like it could be a fun, quick read, because I'm a sucker for some good YA SciFi and my previous experiences with time travel-related stuff in general recently have all been positive, like The Fifty-Seven Lives of Alex Wayfare, The Fifteen Lives of Harry August and even the SyFy TV series 12 Monkeys has started off strongly. Unfortunately, Portal 24, is not one of those books that will be added to the list, as it turned out to be fairly underwhelming and quickly forgettable.
Darius Simms is the main protagonist, a con-artist who was approached by a Government Agent who told him that his girlfriend would die not long after. It isn't long before one thing leads to the next, and Darius finds himself plunged into the field as a backup agent whose job, along with a group of fellow teens, is to stop disasters from happening. Kind of like Person Of interest, only with time travel rather than the Machine. However, he soon finds out that his first assignment is a pretty big one, with less than 24 hours before the destruction of New York City (because it's always New York City).
The characters were fun and could just about make this book worth checking out, but none of them really stay long in your memory and could easily be found in another young adult book similar to this. You've got Bianca, the main female protagonist who knows her stuff when it comes to fighting and dishing out commands, Leon, who doubles as the team's medic and hacker, and Malik, the team's sniper. They make an interesting bunch but given the fact that the book is quite short, it doesn't really develop them and you'll struggle to remember even the main protagonist, Darius, a few days after reading the book itself.
That's in part because the book speeds by so quickly. It will constantly have you flicking through the pages determined to get to the end, but whilst it may be fast paced, it doesn't really have much depth to it. In short, it's a summer blockbuster movie. Fun on the surface, but there are plenty of problems that come when you go back and start to pick Portal 24 apart.
Despite the fact that the book may be quite short, it could have been even shorter. There's plenty of stuff that doesn't really add much to the story as a whole and it ends up feeling wasted. Darius doesn't really feel developed enough for us to care about him and neither do the rest of the cast, with him and Bianca being the two that have the most attention and the others seemed to be tacked on just to play certain roles in the book.
There's so many standard moments that you'd find in any other young adult thriller – the 'good guy' con artist, the badass female character who falls in love with the main one pretty much instantly, and the unoriginal plot doesn't really do this novel justice. Yes, it is entertaining and you won't be bored whilst reading it, but there isn't really enough there to make it stand out. It's something that's best for a quick read and nothing more, and sadly, something that I can't really recommend.
