Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 12, 2013
A recent announcement by the U.S. Navy, introducing their move to the cloud network, has caused a lot of buzz within the business IT market. A recent report by Ventana Research, shows that 40% of respondents claimed that cloud-based services contributed to the greatest reduction in operating costs. A case study published by Amazon's new cloud services stated that Thomson Reuters was able to reduce operating expenses by 40%-50%. While this move to the cloud may have positive affects on companies attempting to reduce their operating expenses, many tech companies are anxious to invest in the technology industry. "Smartphones have taken over from feature-phones, tablet adoption is impacting PC spending, and the Cloud is affecting the traditional software, services and infrastructure markets. IT spending is still growing organically, but not at the same pace as prior to the financial crisis says Stephen Minton, Vice President of International Data Corporations Global Technology and Industry Research Organization.
Despite the unstable global economy and cannibalization within the tech industry, this volatility has not seemed to shake j2 Global, parent company of eFax; eVoice; Onebox; Campaigner; and many other Cloud services. With 17 consecutive fiscal years of revenue growth and already commanding over 30% of the worlds digital faxing systems, recent acquisitions have positioned j2 Global to be the world leader in the virtual communications market and digital tech media. FindAFax.com, the online faxing service comparison site, takes a deeper look and what it means to the future of business IT in this cloud driven market.
In addition to the cannibal-like nature of the market, adoption rates of businesses using cloud-based services have been relatively slow. j2 Global and companies with similar offerings, must rely heavily on inorganic growth for expansion. The difference between j2 Global and their competitors is j2s aggressive growth and acquisition strategy in product offerings and global markets. Over the last month, j2 procured one of eFaxs largest competitors, MetroFax and expanded their internet fax services to Hungary, Finland and Norway. According to a Zacks JCOM analyst report, eFax will now support 19 different languages across 49 countries. While many of j2s competitors may be hesitant to expand their market share in European countries, j2 catapulted their leadership status in 2012 by procuring six European cloud-based service companies. Their aggressive acquisition strategy has given them a record breaking 2012 year and strong position to expand their market even more in 2013. Currently, j2 holds 39.8% of the internet faxing market share, with the closest competitor at only 4.4% market share.
Not only did j2Global secure their leadership position within the virtual communications industry, j2 Global made another aggressive acquisition in the form of digital tech media. This past November j2 bought Ziff Davis, the leading publisher of top tech trade magazines like PCMag.com, Geek.com and Toolbox.com. Three months later, they doubled their digital media business by acquiring IGN Inc. Originally thought to be a marketing strategy aimed at reaching their young tech friendly customers; the new publishing division has made j2 Global one of the largest digital publishers in the lifestyle and entertainment space.
So whats next for j2Global?
Given their presence in virtual communication, we can only assume that they will continue to expand in other cloud based services like online back-up and email services. According to Reece Freeman of FindAFax.com, Were not exactly sure what else in the industry is out there to be acquired, but rest assured, j2 Global will find it and gobble it up.

Reliability in Networking and Telecom Systems – Managing Excessive Heat
White Paper
The main source of heat in electronic equipment is their semiconductor chips, and the temperature sensitivities of these chips presents a challenge in designing cooling solutions. Overheating causes the chips to prematurely fail—and failure of only one chip can disable the entire equipment, the higher the chip temperature, the earlier and more certain the failure. As functionality has increased, the associated heat dissipation has escalated to the extent that it is recognized as a potential limitation on the pace of electronics systems development. Appropriate cooling strategies are needed to prevent overheating, and failure, of critical components.

Providence, RI — Attorney General Patrick Lynch and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, will partner this week to bring a life-saving lesson about the dangers of drunk driving and underage drinking to students at four area High Schools. In advance of Prom and Graduation season, Brandon Silveria, a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom, and his father Tony will speak to students about the importance of "making the right choice" about alcohol — and if students are under the age of 21 — the only responsible decision is not to drink.
"Prom and Graduation Season is a time of great celebration for high school students. Sadly, alcohol is sometimes part of that celebration. In 2004, 713 youths under the age of 21 died in alcohol-related traffic fatalities during the Prom and Graduation Season. One death is one too many," said Attorney General Lynch. "The good news is over the past ten years efforts to stop underage drinking and drunk driving, especially during this celebratory time, have resulted in a 15% reduction in the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities among our youth during the Prom and Graduation Season. Brandon Silveria is living proof that one bad decision can change your life forever. I am so grateful that he and his father Tony could be here in Rhode Island to relay their life-saving message to students, and I am hopeful their words will resonate as students make plans for prom and graduation night."
"Last year in Rhode Island, 36 youths under the age of 18 were arrested for driving under the influence and 169 were arrested for liquor law violations (UCR 2004). I'm pleased we were invited to give presentations this week," said Pam Beer of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "During our visit, we hope to raise awareness about this serious problem, and by doing so, save lives in Rhode Island."
During his presentation, Brandon Silveria will tell students his wrenching story of how as a high school student he had everything a teenager could want — a job, girlfriend and plans for the future — until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and crashing into a tree, he was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Silveria was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country.
"What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon Silveria. "When I was seventeen, I had a job, a car and a girlfriend. I had the world at my fingertips, and that all changed because of a stupid choice I made. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed."
Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have addressed well over one million high school students nationwide and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," and "Leeza."
To request a free copy of "Brandon Tells His Story" or for more information on the Silveria program call (800) 431-4499. The 30-minute video, which won an award from the American Medical Association, is accompanied by supporting curriculum materials and can be used with large or small groups of teens.
Brandon and Tony Silveria will appear at the following high schools throughout the week:
April 26, 2006 — North Kingstown High School — 9:00 a.m. with Attorney General Lynch
April 26, 2006 — East Greenwich High School, — 1:00 p.m. with Attorney General Lynch
April 27, 2006 — Barrington High School — 9:30 a.m. with Attorney General Lynch
April 27, 2006 — Providence High School — 1:00 p.m. with Attorney General Lynch
Launched in 1991, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is funded by America's leading distillers. The Foundation's mission is to promote responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol and discourage all forms of irresponsible consumption through education, communications, research, law enforcement and other programs.

Tears are needed to lubricate the eyes and to wash away particles and foreign objects. A healthy tear film on the eye is necessary for good vision.
Dry eyes develop when the eye is unable to maintain a healthy coating of tears
Keratitis sicca; Xerophthalmia; Keratoconjunctivitis sicca
Dry eye usually occurs in people who are otherwise healthy. It becomes more common with age. This can occur due to hormonal changes that make your eyes produce fewer tears.
Other common causes of dry eyes include:
Dry eye can also be caused by:
Symptoms may include:
Tests may include:
The first step in treatment is artificial tears. These come as preserved (screw cap bottle) and unpreserved (twist open vial). Preserved tears are more bottle) convenient, but some people are sensitive to preservatives. There are many brands available without a prescription.
Start using the drops at least 2-4 times per day. If your symptoms are not better after a couple of weeks of regular use:
Other medical treatments may include:
Other helpful steps include:
Some dry eye symptoms are due to sleeping with the eyes slightly open. Lubricating ointments work best for this problem. You should use them only in small amounts since they can blur your vision. It is best to use them before sleep.
Surgery may be helpful if symptoms are because the eyelids are in an abnormal position.
Most people with dry eye have only discomfort, and no vision loss.
In severe cases, the clear covering on the eye (cornea) may be come damaged or infected.
Call health care provider immediately if:
Stay away from dry environments and things that irritate your eyes to help prevent symptoms.

In previous years, Amanda Wolf of Sumter, SC, voted using her Florida student photo ID. But the new South Carolina voter ID law changed that. Amanda had to wait more than 6 months to get the proper papers to qualify for a photo ID. Luckily, she received free help from a retired judge since attorneys can charge $1800.
Date: February 16, 2012
Location: Spartanburg, South Carolina
Event: Contest
On February 16, 2012, the League of Women Voters of Spartanburg County launched a contest open to all South Carolina high school students: "Picture This: The 5W's of Judicial Diversity—Who? What? When? Where? Why?: Using Visual Media to Bring a Message to the Public". Students are asked to submit a 1-minute video, slideshow, photo, or graphic illustration that conveys the abstract idea that "[a] diverse judiciary in South Carolina is important because it instills confidence in citizens that court decisions will be fair and impartial." Submissions will be judged for creativity and clarity, and shared for public comment on the League of Women Voters of Spartanburg County's contest Facebook page. The goal of the contest is to challenge South Carolina students to learn about their state's courts and to consider the importance of diversity to the judiciary . Submissions are due by April 15, 2012, and winners will be announced on Law Day (May 1, 2012).
Date: February 10, 2012Location: Charleston School of Law, Charleston, South CarolinaEvent: Panel DiscussionPartners: Charleston Law Review; Richard W. Riley Institute of Government, Politics, and Public Leadership at Furman UniversityThe League of Women Voters of South Carolina sponsored the panel "Fitness to Practice: What It Means for Attorneys and the Judicial System" at the 4th annual Law & Society Symposium in Charleston. This panel considered the issue of "fitness to practice" as it impacts the judicial selection system in South Carolina. Bobby Harrell, Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives, gave introductory remarks. Panelists included John Freeman, Professor Emeritus of the University of South Carolina and Member, Judicial Merit Selection Commission; State Representative John Davis Harrell, Member of the Judicial Merit Selection Commission; State Representative David J. Mack III, Member of the South Carolina Judicial Merit Selection Commission; and Frances P. Segars-Andrews, former South Carolina family court judge. Professor Constance Anastapoulo, Charleston School of Law, acted as moderator. Participants raised specific issues, such as political influence when the legislature votes on nominees.
This week, the League of Women Voters of South Carolina stood with allies to oppose a bill seeking to impose new requirements on independent groups that register voters. The proposal is strikingly similar to a Florida elections law passed last year that, among other things, placed onerous restrictions on voter registration efforts, and led the League of Women Voters to stop registration activities in Florida. Recent research has indicated that the Florida law has already dampened voter registration rates in the state. Barbara Zia, president of the South Carolina League of Women Voters, said the League opposes both bills and is particularly concerned about new rules for voter registration drives in South Carolina, which include fines of up to $1,000 for groups: "It's going to make it difficult or virtually impossible for the League of Women Voters to continue to register voters in South Carolina," she said. "The effect would be to suppress the vote."

Riley Institute of Government, Politics, and Public Leadership at Furman University; Charleston School of Law From April to November 2011, the League of Women Voters of Greenville County worked to build a new website providing comprehensive information about the South Carolina judiciary. The press conference—featuring guest speakers Malia Reddick of the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System and Dr. Barbara Zia, Co-President, League of Women Voters of South Carolina—officially unveiled the website. The event was free to the public and offered 1.0 CLE credit from the South Carolina Bar Association.

Key Challenges of System Design -- Modernizing System Development
White Paper
This paper explores a more modern approach to system development built on a Model Driven Development (MDD) approach. MDD directly addresses the three key challenges of systems design: 1) sequential development processes, 2)document-driven communication, and 3) isolated development. Allowing disconnected development and waiting until the latest program stages to perform systems integration and connect all the pieces is a high risk situation, yet one all too common in today's product realization process. Bringing domain expertise together as appropriate throughout a project's development process is imperative for project success.

First Year, 2007...One of my best friends Vince, my gf Amy, and I in the towel. Many glorious first year memories
First Year, 2007...One of my best friends Vince, my gf Amy, and I in the towel. Many glorious first year memories
changing mine as i was just looking through some old pics. was heading back from dinner in 2009 on thursday night and decided to stop by the polo fields to see what was going on. pulled into the artist lot backstage and got out of my car, listening for who was soundchecking. all of a sudden i heard a familiar british accent and my knees began to give out. threw on my wristband(thank god i had it in my car!) and ran as fast as i could with 1 lung, haha. walked onto a field with maybe 50 people on it and enjoyed what was basically a private performance by paul mccartney. saw 7 or 8 songs and he jokingly thanked us in the crowd after each song. was even more amazing to hear the crowd roaring from the campgrounds like an incoming tidal wave. my friend who runs the fest rode up on his bike at one point and all i could do was nod to him, speechless. something drew me to the grounds that night and what i got was THE most special moment i have witnessed on those hallowed fields.
all i have is a few crappy cell phone pics i took:

They OWNED that stage.
Packing my little wide angle toy camera was an afterthought, but I'm so glad I did. I got a ton of hazy, washed out and beautiful photos.
Also because I can't read here's another one.
This was taken with a disposable camera at the foot of the stage. I threw up immediately afterwards.

picture of my girlfriend from last year
I love that pic man, and 2010 was my first as well.
Great photo and nice Van.
Dope pic Jiggy..
Sweet picture, Brad
Being able to come home to my daughter and play in the pool in the morning before heading back was awesome. I look forward to when we can do it again, but for now my husband and I are enjoying our time on our own. Izzy!
Sunday night Campgrounds. Girls howling @ the moon with glow in her mouth. Guy on bus is in a Little Mermaid Cape and was rallying a flag around. Just wish I was in it as I am also fairly rediculous looking. This defines everything that is great about camping to me.
Those were our neighbors.... It was a funny scene at first, but less than amusing at five in the morning when they're still blasting shitty dub step remixes and yelling nonsense.

You mean Gumby 2, right? Gumby is on the van waving a flag. There was another Gumby somewhere around there though. We partied with them for a while before getting distracted by some fine fellows in spring costumes and then being abducted by the Bangarang crews parachute party. I love camping.
First post in the forum! Walking into the festival grounds on friday of last year seeing the most epic main stage ever.
because i couldn't decide, i combined the two pictures into one.
seeing monarchy was one of the best moments at coachella, but i was torn between that and the magnificent taste of spicy pie.
can't wait to have a slice. ;D

I am writing to you from on a cocktail high. It's almost noon yet I'm still riding my 3 a.m. buzz. Last night, I competed alongside 11 of the city's best bartenders in the first-ever Montreal Bar vs. Chef competition. It was like PROM FOR COCKTAIL NERDS!!!
The contest was held at Le LAB, my maison away from maison here in Montreal. (The first night Sean and I went there, I got just pickled enough that I started blabbing about my cocktail blog, and next thing I know the LAB staff and the PhoBlograpHusband had conspired against me to sign me up for the contest, despite my being neither a French-fluent nor an actually-employed bartender.) It was sponsored by Appleton Estate and consisted of three parts:
1) A written test: In what year did Christopher Columbus plant the Caribbean's first sugar cane crops? (1493.) In what year were the first Appleton rums introduced? (1749.) Did your fair blogtender ace the shiz out of this test — she who was chided as "The A Girl" in middle school and spent her Sunday night cramming? Mais oui, mothafuckas! (Actually they never told us our scores, but I'm pretty sure I did well.)
2) A cocktail of your own creation which you produced on site for the panel of five judges and, as much as feasible, for the crowd at large. We had about a month to come up with our recipes. You needed to use at least one ounce of Appleton Estate Reserve, and the drink in total could only contain two ounces of alcohol, max. That was hard. Usually two ounces of alcohol is what I call "Step 1."
3) Five minutes before you were up (I went 9th out of 12), you got to open your "mystery box" of ingredients, so you had to make a second drink off the top of your head using Appleton Reserve plus everything that was in your box (that's what she said — they do get that joke in French Canada, by the by). As soon as I get a chance to recreate it, I will blog that recipe of mine, which was AWESOME! Srsly, of myself I have rarely been prouder. My mystery ingredients were a pineapple, a bunch of carrots, rosemary, agave syrup and some weird wild carrot essential oil. I muddled the rosemary and the carrot greens (oh yes I did!) with Appleton and Hendrick's, then shook that on ice with the agave syrup, some lemon juice and some Cynar. I used a slice of pineapple to coat the inside of my cocktail glass Sazerac-style, treated the rim with the carrot oil, strained my shaker contents into the glass, and lastly garnished with two thin carrot peels laid across one another like an X. I used up every second of my allotted time, which was very exciting. Honestly, the cocktail was great and tasted like nothing I'd ever had before. I was asked to name it on the spot and I said, "The Carrot Top!" (This is doubly funny because I am a redhead.) I got very lucky.
But back to #2, the recipe I made up in advance and brought with me — with that, I was not particularly lucky.
I wanted to make a swizzle because I've had experience with them and I'd never seen one up here; in fact, I'd polled the LAB bartenders beforehand and they'd never heard of it. A swizzle seemed like a cocktail that I could do with the right amount of bells and whistles. Meaning, you definitely want to show off a bit, do something different, be clever, yada yada, but not to the point where you're serving up a Rube Goldberg machine on the rocks.
Guess what the guy who went 8th made? A swizzle! In a coconut shell!! omg, I was ready to crawl back to my hovel of shame. Sean and Gabrielle — the first LAB bartender we met, who also competed last night and is just sweet and adorable — had to psych me back up.
Then I actually got behind the bar and I… messed up. See, you had only half a bar to work with (on the other side, real bartenders were serving actual customers), no barback, and you were behind a bar you've never been behind before. (And I'd never been behind any bar for almost three years. And I'm doing all of this in Frenglish.) My mise en place was royally scattershot, as was I. There were numerous jiggers at my disposal and I must have picked up the wrong one at some point. So I wound up with too much drink, but since you build a swizzle in the glass (as opposed to a shaker, say) I couldn't just leave some liquid behind in my hypothetical shaker to correct this. My Pilsener glass runnethed over, is what I'm saying.
Second, only after all that did I then realize that I forgot to put my lemon juice in entirely! Ay yi yi.
But I was pretty lucky in the end because the swizzle stood up well despite all this. So now let's talk in more positive terms (someone on my Facebook feed just informed me that today is "Positive Thinking Day") about this lovely drink I done invented.
Shrub syrup is something I read about in cocktail Yoda Eric Felten's book How's Your Drink? It dates back to colonial times, when refrigeration was scarce and cocktails were made from a liquor, sugar, water and a flavoring agent. It's basically simple syrup cooked down with a fruit or other flavoring, plus white wine vinegar, which gives the syrup a good shelf life. Traditionally, a shrub as a drink is liquor, shrub syrup and club soda on the rocks, so my concept was to combine a shrub and a swizzle. (I decided to go with the utilitarian name of The Raspberry Rum Shrub Swizzle just because there was enough going on in the drink that I thought the name should serve to shed light on it all. Also, the name is both alliterative and assonant. When I was called "The A Girl" in middle school, mostly it happened in English class.)
Thanks to the Robert Johnson Swizzle, I know that I really like bourbons in swizzles, and as Sean said a few days ago, "This is you. You cannot enter this contest without some bourbon." The cilantro syrup brought out the spicy/tart/fizzy qualities of the shrub syrup. The raspberry garnish just gives your nose something fun to waft while the drink's going down.
In the end, Gabrielle won the contest (Congrats, m'amie!) with a fantastic apple-y cocktail. I'll see if I can get the recipe from her. In fact, in the coming days I'll get as many of the recipes as I can, as well as better pics. (Sean couldn't get close enough last night to shoot my swizzle.) I met lots of wonderful people last night, not including that one guy who was clearly just trying to get an up-close view of my cleavage but thankfully he was not one of the bartenders and finally retreated after I blatantly played with my wedding ring long enough. I finally have Facebook friends in Montreal! I hope some of them are reading. Smile!
The Raspberry Rum Shrub Swizzle
1 ounce Appleton Estate Reserve rum
1/2 ounce Evan Williams Single Barrel bourbon
1/2 ounce Pimm's
1/2 ounce raspberry shrub syrup
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 dashes Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel-Aged Bitters
Splash of cilantro-steeped simple syrup
Crushed ice
Fresh raspberries, to garnish
Combine rum, bourbon, Pimm's and bitters in a mixing glass. (No need to stir or shake, you'll swizzle later.) Fill a Pilsener glass with crushed ice. Pour contents of mixing glass into Pilsener. Add lemon juice and syrups into glass. Swizzle. Serve with a slender straw that's been skewered with fresh raspberries.

Polysomnography is a sleep study. This test records certain body functions as you as you sleep, or try to sleep. Polysomnography is used to diagnose sleep disorders.
Sleep study; Polysomnogram; Rapid eye movement studies; Split night polysomnography; PSG
There are two states of sleep:
REM sleep alternates with NREM sleep about every 90 minutes. A person with normal sleep usually has four to five cycles of REM and NREM sleep during a night.
A sleep study measures your sleep cycles and stages by recording:
Polysomnography can be done either at a sleep center or in your home.
Full sleep studies are usually done at a special sleep center.
You may be able to use a sleep study device in your home instead of at a sleep center to help diagnose sleep apnea. You either pick up the device at a sleep center or a trained therapist comes to your home to set it up.
Home testing may be used when:
Whether the test is at a sleep study center or at home, you prepare the same way. Unless directed to do so by your doctor, do not take any sleep medicine and do not drink alcohol or caffeinated beverages before the test. They can interfere with your sleep.
The test helps diagnose possible sleep disorders , including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Your health care provider may think you have OSA because you have these symptoms:
Polysomnography can also diagnose other sleep disorders:
A sleep study tracks:
Most people have short periods during sleep where their breathing stops or is partly blocked. The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is the number of apnea or hypopnea measured during a sleep study. AHI results are used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea.
Normal test result show:
Test results above 5 may mean you have sleep apnea:

Going to Tehran: Why the U.S. Must Come to Terms with the Islamic Republic of Iran
A debate with Mansour Farhang, Professor of international relations and Middle Eastern politics at Bennington College
Hosted by Brian Edwards-Tiekert
Wednesday, March 27, 7:30 pm
St. John's Church, 2727 College Avenue, Berkeley, CA
$12 advance tickets: brownpapertickets.com :: 800-838-3006
or Pegasus Books (3 locations), Marcus Books, Mrs. Dalloway's,

SF: Modern Times ($15 door)
The Leverett's new book will serve as centerpiece for a debate on U.S. / Iran relations. While the authors pose this extremely complex issue as essentially demanding a simple either/or solution, many believe that is a falsification insulting to many – if not most – Iranians. This complexity will be explored, revealing other crucial aspects of life in Iran today under Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollahs.
"Armchair warriors howling to have a go at Iran will denounce this book: you can count on it. Those who have had a bellyful of needless wars will have a different view. Going to Tehran is balanced, sober, impressively documented, and rich in insight. As an antidote to the warmongering that passes for analysis of Iran and US-Iranian relations, its appearance could hardly be more welcome or more timely." —Andrew Bacevich, author of Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War
The United States and its allies are ever closer to military confrontation with Iran over nuclear munitions, oil trade, and relations with Israel. We have sustained 30 years of failed foreign policy based on economic sanctions, isolation and covert assaults within Iran. In Going To Tehran, renowned Middle East analysts Flynt and Hillary Leverett assert that "Iran has become the most critical country in the world's most critical region. Without reconciliation with Iran, they insist, "the United States is on the verge of losing its strategic position in the Middle East, with disastrous consequences." —Seymour Hersh, The New Yorker
FLYNT LEVERETT served at the National Security Council, State Department, and CIA. He is currently a professor of international affairs and law at Penn State. HILLARY MANN LEVERETT served at the National Security Council and State Department and negotiated for the U.S. government with Iranian officials. She is now a senior professional lecturer at American University. Their writing has appeared in The New York Times, Politico, Foreign Policy and Washington Monthly.
PROFESSOR MANSOUR FARHANG teaches international relations and Middle Eastern politics at Bennington College in Vermont, where he has been a faculty member since 1983. He is the Catharine Osgood Foster Chair for Distinguished Teaching. Farhang served as revolutionary Iran's first ambassador to the United Nations, resigning in protest when the Khomeini regime refused to accept the U.N. Commission of Inquiry's recommendation to release American hostages in Teheran. Early in the Iran-Iraq war, he served as envoy in negotiations with international peace missions. Currently, he is on the advisory board of Middle East Watch, a branch of Human Rights Watch. He is the author of U.S. Imperialism: From the Spanish-American War to the Iranian Revolution; and, with William Dorman, The U.S. Press and Iran: Foreign Policy and the Journalism of Deference. He is also a frequent contributor to scholarly journals and the national news media. He has taught at the Claremont Graduate School, the California State University at Sacramento, and Princeton University, where he was also a research fellow at the Center for International Studies. BA, University of Arizona; PhD, Claremont Graduate School.

Flag Quilt (and a little Purple Mountains Majesty)
47 comments:
I absotivley posilutely love the quilt. My fathers family is Norewegian, my brother lives in Oregon , my mothers family is British...mmmmm? I've gotta figure out how to put the Canadian flag into that and it would be a go for me. I think yours works so well due to all the straight lines on the flags. The pesky maple leaf could cause some design problems. I just had to tell you how much I love the quilt Amy . The backdrop of the mountains...inspired. Ann
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! I'm a Norwegian who has lived one year in the States and on year in England - you should make a pattern of the quilt! We Norwegians normally don't use our flag for anything else but as a flag. The only exception is flags on napkins and the use of the colors on our national day. It was wonderful to see that someone else had done what many of us secretly want to do - put the flag on something that will be used (either as a quilt or wallhanging). Long commentary - but I just loved the quilt.
I want to make your quilt with this flag in it. I LOVE it. oh how I love it. I could easily do it I think. And applique the shield. I'm half danish and half slovakian. But everyone in Utah is danish or something scandanavia. Not many are slovak and I'm proud of my non-lds heritage too.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

TurboTax Deluxe 2008 ( Federal + State)
TurboTax 2008 is the most expensive tax app on the market, but it's also fast, complete, and straightforward. If finishing quickly is your goal, the extra cost is worth it. If you anticipate wanting live help support, look into TaxCut.
Intuit QuickBooks Accounting Pro Edition 2009
Intuit QuickBooks Premier 2009 keeps the program's well-designed, intuitive interface, while adding a few new features. It's a worthy upgrade for people serious about online banking, and it remains the best accounting program for small business owners. However, Intuit should be more generous with customer support, particularly for setup issues.
H&R Block TaxCut Home & Business + Federal + State 2007
H&R Block TaxCut is relatively affordable and well-designed tax-prep software, although we found TurboTax's interview to be more direct and thorough.
Intuit TurboTax 2007 Premier
It's not perfect, but if you're brave enough to manage your own taxes, then TurboTax 2007 is Intuit's best tax application yet.
Microsoft Money Plus Deluxe 2008
Once again, we don't find this upgrade necessary, although some might come to rely upon the new Insights views of finances, and uber-organized users can link transactions to images of checks and receipts.
QuickBooks 2008 Simple Start Plus Pack
QuickBooks Premier 2008 remains the top small-business accounting program. Its guidance for novices is top-notch, and it comes in a variety of editions tailored for specific industries. Version 2008 isn't an essential upgrade for QuickBooks 2007 users, but it's a good buy for users of earlier versions, and for anyone new to accounting software.
TurboTax Home & Business 2006
With its cogent, easy-to-understand interview and clean design, Intuit TurboTax 2006 remains one of the top tax-prep programs out there. However, it's pricier than H&R Block's TaxCut, which is the better bargain.
TaxCut Premium 2006
For do-it-yourself tax preparers, H&R Block TaxCut Premium 2006 is a solid buy. TaxCut is a breeze to learn and notably less expensive than archrival TurboTax Premier.
QuickBooks Pro 2007
Despite its lean list of improvements, QuickBooks 2007 remains a terrific small-business accounting package. Longtime QuickBooks users who haven't already upgraded to QuickBooks 2006 should leap to 2007 instead.
Microsoft Money 2007 Home & Business
If you're using an earlier version of Microsoft Money, the 2007 updates may not tempt you to upgrade, unless the latest version's new budgeting abilities fit your needs.

Most Americans who are more than 65 have opted for Medicare A & B and probably C, and many also possess a Medicare Supplement plan.

Plan F covers all the gaps in Medicare making in right to sell majority of situations owners of this plan will cant you create to pay out-of-pocket for medically necessary medical expenses.
A medigap newsletter gave credence on the value of exercise in older adults, especially training for strength. After only 3-4 weeks of exercise I am amazed how I've far better. I realize I have to apply it right, . i have some distance to proceed.
It's surprising how many clients try to be all in order to all everyone. They don't want to take an opportunity of missing anyone. However, by taking a scattershot approach, you'll result in missing smooth stomach customers. For example, on the internet sell the hottest new Xbox, your main audience in order to 16 to 21 year-old males. Targeting their grandparents as primarily because you think they may buy a birthday present is not a wise utilization of your marketing dollars.
Although all lines of insurance agents can launch a telemarketing campaign, this article is going to a target the sale of individual health and life gear. There is a different script and method telemarketing consumers for senior products while medicare supplements and P&C.
Take off your seat a "Guide to Medicare Benefits Pamphlet" and a thick stack of senior address cards, with your prospects name card on top. Approaching the door knock fully. As soon as the door is opened appear at your card, asking if "John" is supplied. Before either can respond, officially state that you are there to explain their Medicare Benefits as well as how their insurance fits in just. Never at this stage pull out your business phone card! Ask if it is right time to sit while dining so are able to cover their benefits package quicker.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Holiday gifts for pets go high-tech
Sunday, December 16, 2012
LOS ANGELES -- A holiday present for Fido or Fluffy used to be an extra table scrap or a new squeeze toy. But as with gifts for their human counterparts, pet presents are becoming increasingly high-tech.
Robino said it was the only time she has bought a gift for a pet that requires electricity, figuring that would put Bentley in a rarefied group of animals with high-tech presents. But there are actually plenty of gadgets in stores for animals, from the predictable (dog barking control, electronic self-cleaning cat litter boxes) to the surprising (exercise equipment, air conditioners for doghouses, pet air purifiers for human houses).
"There are many advances on the pet rehabilitation side of health care that weren't even heard of a few years ago. There are also new advances in medication, treatments, and even testing and diagnostic areas. For example, you can send off your pet's DNA to find out their breed and even give at-home tests to determine if certain diseases are present," he said. Rehab equipment for pets, such as a dog-size treadmill, are no longer just for veterinarian clinics. Pet owners can buy the DogPacer's Minipacer treadmill ($479), which is made for dogs under 55 pounds. The original DogPacer treadmill will accommodate dogs up to 179 pounds and sells for $499 -- about the same price as human-size gym equipment.
For owners who exercise with their pets, the Sharper Image Pet-O-Meter Pet Pedometer ($19.99) counts steps, calculates distance and tracks the calorie intake of the human partner.
"They are also widely used by industry professionals to track vaccinations, test results and other records. With GPS microchips now available as well, your missing pet can not only be tracked back to you, but you can now track them down and prove ownership if need be," he said.
For pets and owners who do volunteer work -- yes, there's an app for that, too. For example, the $149.99 TouchChat alternative communication app lets people who have difficulty speaking play with a dog using voice commands. |
