See post below for rules.
Now, how can he get out if there is a door, but it's sealed off with bricks and he only has a fork?
(answer and put up a scenario like this)
Come on! Do I really have to answer my own question?
Here's how you do it: he lifts up the fork. A fork that can lift is a forklift. He drives the forklift and crashes through the door and the brick wall.
Here's some rules:
1. think outside of the box, but no too far
2. Don't answer with "he doesn't"
3. As stated before, keep it going by putting up a similar riddle
4. Don't make an impossible situation like "he's trapped with nothing", with there being at least one/two objects.
Now, for continuity: A man is trapped in a room with no windows or doors. All he has is a portable game system with an infinite battery. How does he get out?
All you have to do is wait for other people to post. You don't need to double post. It's against the rules anyways. But oh well, the answer to the question:
You didn't say anything about there being no ceiling. So, he uses his portable game sytem, the NES (portable means you can carry it around, so yeah!) as a ladder and he gets out! YAY!
Alright, there is a guy in a room full of gangsters that want to killing. No doors, no windows, 4 walls, a floor and a ceiling. All he has is a cellphone. How does he get out of the room without being killed by the gangsters?
He calls an number that was set up to blow up a bomb he set outside the room, which blasts a wall out, and the crumbling wall hit the gangsters and they all get knocked out. So yay, he goes out the open space!

A Night With Ray, Hef and Buzz: The Fahrenheit 451 Screening
It's not every day you see Mr. Playboy, the real-life Buzz Lightyear, and the greatest living science fiction author together in the same room.
It's Ray Bradbury Week in Los Angeles, because one day just wouldn't be enough to celebrate such a prolific author. A resolution by the city council made it official, thanks to the efforts of novelist and screenwriter Steven Paul Leiva, who organized the week's festivities.
I was fortunate enough to attend a special screening of the 1966 film by Francois Truffaut of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, which also featured a conversation with Ray and Hugh Hefner, moderated by Geoff Boucher of the L.A. Times Hero Complex blog.
A year ago, when Bradbury was about to turn 89, Leiva wrote a column called "Searching For Ray Bradbury" that became the spark that lit the fire for celebrating Bradbury's 90th in a fashion befitting the author's stature.
Chatting onstage before the film, Hef recounted when Playboy magazine was just starting out how he contacted Bradbury about publishing Fahrenheit 451 in serial form. Continue reading

The "Inception" Ad Deception
"Inception" is a powerful, original film filled with deceptions. Both the special-effects kind and the plot-driven mental kind. There are also larger themes running through it. If you haven't seen it yet, don't worry. No plot points will be revealed.
This is Not Another Review
Critics were sworn to silence before it opened. If you still care what critics are saying after a "dreamy" $62.8 million opening weekend and a cumulative $143 million for the first 10 days, a collection of choice review excerpts can be found at the WSJ Speakeasy blog.
As a fan of both film and advertising (see 101 Ad-Movies in 99 Years), I want to highlight some of the ads and how well they tied in with the story themes. The multichannel marketing campaign consisted of traditional TV spots along with Facebook fan pages with social games, mobile apps, and an online comic book to create fanboy engagement and spur strong word of mouth.

When Advertising Becomes Propaganda
Memorial Day commemorates sacrifice.
Originally called Decoration Day, it's a day to remember the sacrifice of soldiers who died in the service of their country. It was first observed at Arlington National Cemetery on May 30, 1868 with flowers placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers.
Memorial Day might seem outside the purview of a blog like Love Hate Advertising, which tends to focus on frivolous things like ad movies, music marketing, beauty salon signage and beer commercials (love 'em or hate 'em), not meaningful issues like life and death or war. But even nations at war conduct ad campaigns. That's when advertising morphs into propaganda.

How an underground video goes mainstream: Winnebago Man
It began as a bad day on a corporate video shoot in 1988.
Now it's going to be a major motion picture in 2010.
Winnebago Man is coming out from the underground. Actually, down from the mountain top.
Boing Boing recently premiered the trailer for a new documentary film about the most famous man no one knows: Jack Rebney, better known as Winnebago Man, aka the angriest man in the world. Continue reading

101 Ad Movies in 99 Years
When did advertising become glamorous?
Hollywood movies tell their stories using heroic archetypes common to myths and legends of nearly all cultures. (See Joseph Campbell's seminal book, "Hero of a Thousand Faces".)
Cinematic protagonists get cast in a variety of stock professions, depending on the tale. Many other careers would appear more heroic and noble, yet advertising is a recurring choice of day job for silver screen heroes. Perhaps because, as one film's tag line puts it, advertising is "the world's second oldest profession." Here then, is a fond look back at Hollywood's long love affair with advertising.

text: Liberty rocket proposed to replace Space Shuttle Science 09 February 11 by Duncan Geere Tweet CC-licensed: Matthew Simantov A pair of leading rocket companies have submitted a joint bid to Nasa to build a vehicle to replace the aging Space Shuttle. It's called the Liberty rocket.The Shuttles are due to be retired later in 2011 when it'll have completed 135 launches, leaving the Russian Soyuz craft as the only means for astronauts to get to and from the International Space Station. Nasa is seeking commercial solutions that'll let America play its part in the project, following concerns in the US congress that it'd leave Russia in a strong position.US company ATK and Europeans Astrium have put forward a joint proposal for a "Liberty" rocket, glued together from previous proposals. The bottom half of the Liberty rocket is based on the same solid-fuelled boosters the currently take the Shuttle into orbit, but with an extra stage and above that sits a liquid hydrogen and oxygen fuelled core. On top of all of that rests the service module and the capsule.ATK and Astrium reckon that the project, due to its reliance on existing technology, could be ready as soon as 2013, and be flying astronauts to the ISS by 2015, once tests are completed.Silvio Sandrone, Astrium's vice-president of launcher sales and business development, told BBC News: "It's a very cool idea; it's got the potential to be a fast development, building on existing experience and existing teams. Certainly it would be cheaper and faster than starting from scratch. For Astrium, also, it means accessing a market which has been barred to us up until now." The Liberty, if all goes to plan, will be able to carry a payload of about 20 tonnes into low-earth orbit.

Alonso and Heisey
Anyone watch the AFL game last night on MLB Network?
First time I had seen Alonzo or Heisey in action. When I turned it off Alonzo had 3 hits (all line drives) and Heisey had a home run, a double and a strike out. They were very impressive - especially Alonso. He was taking left handed pitchers the other way with authority. I'm starting to get visions of Votto in left field next year. A core of the order that includes Votto, Phillips, Alonzo, Rolen, Bruce could be very productive. |

4.00 rating Sunshine Kids Buggy Shade by Jeanne on May 30, 2011
Living in FL. and taking my infant grandson for a walk was difficult. His stroller doens't have adaquate protection from the sun. So I would cover his face with a blanket ( which he didn't like to much) or walk him backwards so the sun didn't bother his eyes. I just could not find the right protection for him, until now! I love this shade! We can now go for walks and enjoy the outdoors without sun bothering him! |

Two days before Thanksgiving, an Easton man walked out of a downtown bar and sold crack cocaine to a "cooperating source" working with police, court records say.
Kenneth Trevor Bradford, 27, was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with delivery of a controlled substance. The records do not say how much crack cocaine was involved or its value.
A criminal complaint filed by city Det. Anthony Arredondo says Bradford left the Easton Café, 125 Northampton St., around 1:15pm and approached the cooperating source. The two walked into the bar's parking lot, made the transaction, and Bradford "quickly walked" back into the café.
Bradford, of 924 Glendon Ave. on the city's South Side, was arraigned at 2:15am Tuesday by on-duty District Judge Diane Marakovits of Northampton and committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $7,500 bail.

Why can't the city close that place down? Why doesn't anyone do some true investigative reporting and find out why the owners of such establishments in this city still have free reign to conduct such negative business when so many are trying to do good around them? This is why respectable business owners don't stay!
January 03, 2013 at 01:08 PM
I agree with Feduplifer. As a business owner just a block away from the establishment, I can attest to it's negative impact on our community. This incident is just one in a long string of incidents that can be attributed to it's clientele. I've personally watched drug deals, prostitution, public drunkenness, public urination and physical altercations occur right outside it's front door. In 2009, there was a retaliation murder inside the bar that has yet to go unsolved. Why isn't Morganelli camped outside yet? Why hasn't the state revoked it's liscence? It makes me shake my head in disgust. The only thing I can call it is nepotistic. Old school allegiances die hard.
January 03, 2013 at 01:27 PM
Your last comment is fairly accurate Amund. There is a "Good-ol-Boys Club" in this town that enjoys the luxury of political favors and protection. They are allowed to ignore codes and dump on their neighbors with reckless abandon. They never shovel their sidewalks and their dumpsters always overflow. We shake our heads and complain and nothing happens. Not even the poor excuse for Press in this town is allowed to write about it. We suffer and they prosper. It's shameful and disgusting! It needs to end!
Moving forward
January 03, 2013 at 02:32 PM
I agree, you guys are so correct! Hardworking people shouldn't have to watch drug transactions where they shop or eat maybe just want to take a stroll down Northampton with their kids. It's ridiculous that people who have the power to enforce the law just turn their eye away. Reporting and highlighting the problem is a way to deter the drug dealing prostitution and any ideas the criminals may have. But if for one minute they think it's just going to go away, they are so sadly mistaken. It will take over and people need to complain and report! If we expect any change!!!

Odd...the Northampton county property records do not list 125 Northampton Street. At least not the one in Easton.
According to an ET article on the 2009 shooting, the owner is John Melhem. Strange, though, that it's not listed in the public records online. Is it known by another address perhaps?
January 03, 2013 at 04:11 PM
@Pam- is there any way to find out how many, and what type of police calls/complaints have been made in regards to 121-127 Northampton St.?
Pamela Porter
January 03, 2013 at 04:24 PM
I honestly don't know. I would *think* the police department would keep logs of calls/complaints/visits, etc., but I have no idea if or how it's complied and if it's available for public viewing.
In my opinion, it *should* be available.
January 03, 2013 at 04:39 PM
That place is a den of iniquity in MANY ways, no stranger to trouble. Just l ike some of the other BArs in Easton, they are protected. sad... clean up a few dumps & the propery value could increase. A better class of people just might frequent the city of Easton. We've a ll seen it happen. like cancer... it just keeps eating away the healthy till only the degenerates hang on.
January 03, 2013 at 04:53 PM
Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System may be a place to start. You can search using name, address or parcel number.
January 03, 2013 at 05:00 PM
Parcel number for 121-127 Northampton is L9SE2B 3 7 0310 and the owner mentioned above is still listed as the current owner in the public records.
January 03, 2013 at 05:41 PM
so...w/ all this info available & public knowledge, why doesn't anyone pressure the owners of these FINE establishments? I CAN only bet ( no pun intended) that they all have family & would rather chew off thier right arms than have their OWN children end up like the poor recipients of the "buisiness DEALS"taking place downtown in their establishments. But when you all go to the same church & play on the church b-ball team it makes it rather hard. Even harder when you have family members in Politics.
January 03, 2013 at 05:59 PM
The trouble is, this particular 'family' doesn't care. It is obvious because they own most of the worst properties in the city. Start cross referencing the owners names with the worst addresses and you will be able to see a fairly strong connection.

Saturday, July 05, 2008
Who's Stephen who died from the St.Mary's First Nation???
Maybe someone can help me on this one? This area belongs to the Natives of St.Mary's.
It's located near the Saint John River and many Natives enjoy a nice Bonfire under the night skies.
Tonight, I noticed these messages.
Who's Stephen?
What happened?
Just curious...Can someone tell moi?
Poor guy!!!! He was having a bad day!!!!
I noticed this confrontation and decided to take some pictures.
After a short chat with the Fredericton Police officers, he began to walk toward me.
The poor guy shouted- F@CK!
He threw his empty pack of smokes on the street.
The poor guy face was full of blood.
I guess he got beat up by two thugs.
I followed him around the block and there he was just standing there.
He shouted at a guy in a van - Hey Buddy? Can you phone for a cab? I'm having a bad day!!!
I chatted with one of the officers afterwards and he said- I was going to give the guy a fine for littering but he was having enough of a bad day.
Poor guy!!! One of those days I guess?

I was a little upset this morning when I heard the Liberals will allowed Uranium Mining in this Province.
While chatting with someone in the Downtown area, a Journalist walked by and I said - Shawn Graham is going down!!!! The issue of Uranium is going to bring him down!!! He's done!!!
The reporter quickly answered - If you say so Charles!!!..lol...
I noticed a group of Liberals in front of the Centennial Building.
I shook the hand of one of the Liberal worker and said - My deepest sympathy!!! Shawn Graham is going down!!! He's done!!!
The guy tried to say something but I just walked away from the scene.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting- Charles? Charles? Charles?
I turned around and it was the Premier himself!!!
I quickly told the group- Never mind what I said!!!
I don't talk behind someone back!!!
I'll tell him myself!!!!
I told the Premier that he was DONE!!! Uranium is going to be your downfall! YOU'RE DONE!!!
The Premier was wondering why I didn't noticed his black eye???
I was so concern about my issue that I never paid attention.
I quickly told his wife Roxanne in a joking way – You shouldn't hit your husband!!!..lol....
I guess he played softball last night in Moncton.
It was for a good cause. The money went for the New Brunswick Kidney Foundation!!!
It was a game between the P.C. and the Liberals.
From what the Premier told me - He hit the ball and made a run for 1st base.
I guess the guy on 1st miss the catch? < Or did he? >....lol...
No word on who was the individual on 1st?
By the time, I tried to figure out who was on 1st? The Premier was gone from the area. Nowhere to be seen!!!
At the end, the Premier did it to me again!!!!
How the heck did he manage to change the important issue of Uranium to his black eye???
He was gone from my sight and I didn't have a chance to debate the issue of Uranium!!!
How do you stay upset with a Premier who has a great personality?
Who was on 1st? or was it 2nd? Maybe it was 3rd???
Egad!!! Fail again!!!!
I guess these mines will be allowed on Crown land?
Ohhhhh Boy!!!! The Irvings are going to make certain that New Brunswick is destroyed for good!!!!
Bye bye Shawn!!!

Province amends uranium exploration and mining regulations (08/07/04)
July 4, 2008
FREDERICTON (CNB) - New uranium exploration and mining regulations to better protect drinking water supplies and improve the claims-staking process for property owners have been announced by Natural Resources Minister Donald Arsenault and Environment Minister Roland Haché.
"Our government heard the concerns of the people of New Brunswick and we have responded," said Arseneault. "These changes are consistent with New Brunswick's public policy approach of being proactive in protecting designated drinking water supplies, and they address the issues of access to private landowners' property."
Uranium exploration and extraction in designated watersheds and well fields, as well as in villages, towns and cities, is now prohibited. In addition, all mineral-claims-staking activity in the province is suspended until a new map-staking system can be implemented.
"Protecting New Brunswick's drinking water supply is a priority of our government as we strive to achieve self-sufficiency by 2026," said Haché. "We are committed to ensuring that everyone in New Brunswick has access to clean water, clean air and a sustainable environment."
Arsenault said that the method of acquiring mineral rights will be changed from the current ground-staking method to an electronic on-line map-staking system. Other initiatives will focus on appropriate buffering and landowner permission for any possible intrusive uranium exploration or development on private land.
"These new initiatives will serve to protect landowners and alleviate some of their concerns about unauthorized access onto their properties," said Arseneault. "In addition to these changes, our government has committed to a full review of the Mining Act. As part of that process we intend to take the opportunity to make other adjustments to ensure that landowner concerns are addressed. The review will also take into consideration concerns around compliance and enforcement."
The Department of Natural Resources recently enhanced drilling requirements for uranium exploration to include more specific rules designed to protect the environment and the health of New Brunswickers.
The Department of Environment is responsible for overseeing and enforcing the Clean Water Act.

I asked today where was the Canadian flag at the Crowne Plaza???
I didn't receive much of an answer but I emailed the head office.
The old Beaverbrook Hotel always flew the Canadian Flag.
Why not the Crowne Plaza????
The old Beaverbrook Hotel always flew the Canadian Flag.
Why not the Crowne Plaza????
Happy 30th Anniversary!!!!!
Sorry ...I'm late!!!! It was July 1st!!!
Good people!!!!
Nobody nicer!!!
Wish them many more years together!!!!
This could decide the future of the Shawn Graham Government.
There's no compromise!!!
I heard Roland Hache is going to make the announcement.
Click below for a blog I wrote on this issue -
I predict he won't ban Uranium prospecting in New Brunswick!!!
Things could get really ugly in New Brunswick!!!!
A couple of weeks ago, I came out with an idea.
I learned the Legislature was going to be shut down for the summer months.
I also found out the Lieutenant Governor Herménégilde Chiasson was going to shut down the session at 3:00pm!!!
A couple of days earlier, I once again chatted with a high Party official of the Liberal Party in trying to end the ban.
We all know that I was banned because of the sad murder of a young girl. The individual who made the complaint is the mother of the murderer.
I don't wish to go public with the issue but what am I suppose to do?
We could be dealing with Fascism here?
Murder and what happen to me at the Liberal Christmas Party at Sweetwaters.
Someone from the Liberal Executive of the Riding of Fredericton Silverwood ordered three bouncers to do me harm.
To this day, I never received an apology from the Executives of the Liberal Riding of Fredericton Silverwood.
I don't believe that I can support Rick Miles during the next Provincial Election because of the members of the Executive.
If they support Fascism against the less fortunate?
Well, I got a problem with that.
Ok...never mind that issue.
I asked someone to come with me at the Legislature.
Sure look like two guys with weapons in front of the Legislature. We both had a camera in check and just waited for the action to begin!!!!
I gave the guy the orders not to intervene if the Fredericton Police Force comes face to face with this blogger?
If I'm tased? Just take pictures!!!
I made arrangements with my landlord that I might be in jail.
You see, just as my arrest at Atlantica in Saint John? What they do? They make you sign papers such as - Not allowed 50 feet from a politician or an event.
I was prepared not to sign the papers so therefore I would end up in jail till my court trial.
Everything was set for a showdown and maybe a day in court?
I believe that the mother of the murderer will have to testify that she was stressed out because of my blog.
Then once she testifies? I can blog this issue for years to come.
Then again? The Fredericton Police Force could become the first Fascist Police Force in Canada!!! < Oppsss sorry.. The Saint John Police Force holds that title! >
Dan Bussieres banned me without providing the evidence so if the Fredericton Police Force agrees with this sort of procedure? This will tells me something?
We showed up in front of the Legislature and the media were surprise to see me.
Jacques Poitras decided to stick around because there could be some action?
I bet they were moving inside like a bunch of Ants inside the Legislature!!!
I noticed a Police Car arriving at the scene.
I told my partner - HERE WE GO!!! Don't forget?? Just take pictures!!!!
I was going to get myself arrested and that was that!!!
I will fight Fascism till the end.
I noticed a Commissionaire showing a Police Officer a piece of paper but there was no action?
Were the papers legal or just a game by Dan Bussieres???
If it's a game? It's a sad one because the poor girl who was murdered? It'll be bad for the victim's family.
Very sad but we're dealing with Quebecois here!!!
I waited for the presence of Fascist Dan Bussieres.
He was force to come out to face the music.
He didn't look like a happy camper. I wonder why?
Did he expected the Fredericton Police Force to jump moi? Why would our fine Police Force get involved in this little game?
The Lieutenant Governor arrive.
He came back out 45 minutes later, I had a little chat with the guy.
I was surprised that he accepted one extra year as the Lieutenant Governor.
He's a nice guy!!!
So? I went home in a very disappointed mood.
I expected some actions but it never happen.
Every instance, I expect something to happen? It never does!!!
Then something like the Liberal Christmas Party or the confrontation at 92.3 FredFm? I never saw those two coming and bingo!!! It happened.
Excuse the grammar of this blog!!! It's hot and I'm tired!!!

The Gulf of Mexico Three Years After BP Oil Spill
According to BP, which has already spent $14 billion on clean-up and restoration, the Gulf is returning to baseline conditions prior to the disaster. "No company has done more, faster to respond to an industrial accident than BP did in response to the Deepwater Horizon accident in 2010," reports the company. But not everybody sees the situation that way. Many environmentalists are concerned that, while BP has done a thorough job removing visible oil from the water column and surface, little has been done to repair damage to marine life and ecosystems.
Anthony Weiner: Challenges on the Road to Reputational Redemption
The former Congressman, who resigned two years ago in a sexual social media scandal, disclosed this week that he's thinking of entering the race to become the next mayor of New York City. Columnist Gael O'Brien looks at what some other leaders have done to rehabilitate their reputations after scandal and analyzes the challenges involved in regaining trust.
BP Agrees to Plead Guilty to Crimes in Gulf Oil Spill
BP agreed to plead guilty to charges of manslaughter, environmental crimes, and lying to Congress in connection with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion, which killed 11 workers and sent as much as 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf of Mexico Two Years after the BP Disaster
EarthTalk® E – The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: I've seen a lot of warm and fuzzy TV ads, some sponsored by BP Oil, urging me to vacation in the Gulf of Mexico. But are things really "back to normal?" — Paul Shea, Dublin, OH The Gulf of Mexico may be open for business and eager [...]
Feds File First Criminal Charges Related to BP Gulf Spill
Two years after oil from a BP well began gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Department of Justice has filed criminal charges alleging that a former BP employee destroyed critical evidence in the early days of the unfolding disaster.
Opinion: A Punishment BP Can't Pay Off
Two years after a series of gambles and ill-advised decisions on a BP drilling project led to the largest accidental oil spill in United States history and the death of 11 workers on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, no one has been held accountable.
Big Oil Revenue Equals More Than 10% of U.S. GDP
A 2012 Congressional Research Service report, "Financial Performance of the Major Oil Companies, 2007-2011"(PDF), analyzes the business results of the five biggest firms operating in the U.S. market: ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, Royal Dutch Shell and ConocoPhillips. The report notes that their combined revenues in 2011 were equivalent to more than 10% of U.S. gross domestic product.
In-touch Boards: Reaching Out to the Value Critical Stakeholders
Corporate governance expert Paul Strebel says the repeated failure of boards to intervene early enough to avert corporate disasters reflects a serious problem in the boardroom that cannot simply be swept under the carpet: boards are out of touch often with those who can make or break a company.
Extractive Industries Confront Pressure for Transparency
Transparency – the effective provision of credible information to stakeholders in a way that improves decision-making and increases legitimacy and trust – is a rapidly growing requirement for international corporations, particularly those in mining, oil and gas, also known as the extractive industries.
Manifesto for the Corporate Idealist
While daily news headlines can sometimes make it easy to assume that big business is incapable of doing good in the world, contributor Christine Bader argues that there exists a "global army" of Corporate Idealists hard at work on a host of environmental and social issues. She offers the beginnings of a Manifesto to help support that army – "an outline of the principles and actions that will help us better align the interests of business and society."

ScienceShot: Making Virtual Humans Dance
14 February 2014 4:00 pm
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS—The motion capture technology that sent Na'vi prancing through Pandora with lifelike accuracy in the film Avatar has another use in the lab: creating fine-scale, highly personalized models of how a body moves. Computer scientist Nadia Magnenat Thalmann of the University of Geneva in Switzerland and colleagues have been working to design virtual replicas of athletes' bodies—not just their general shape and movement, but also dynamics hidden within the joints that bear the strain. Their first test subjects: a group of professional ballerinas from the Grand Theater of Geneva. Due to the unusual stress on their joints as they dance, many ballerinas need hip replacement surgery in their early teens, says Thalmann, who described the ongoing modeling project here today at the annual meeting of AAAS, which publishes Science. The case study used MRI to generate a model of each dancer's muscles, cartilage, and bone, slice by slice. Then, by adding data from a motion sensor suit (like the one in the photo above), the researchers watched how stress was distributed within the tissues (colored joint models, left) as she performed. The results have helped each dancer understand which movements put her at risk of long-term damage, Thalmann says, and predict the need for future surgery. This technology is still young, Thalmann points out, and the process of analyzing personalized data takes about a month. But she predicts that doctors will someday use the method to quickly model strain and injury in the clinic … even for those who don't regularly subject their bodies to high kicks and splits.

Due to a February 6th, 2014 announcement by the Government of Canada to eliminate the Aboriginal Friendship Centre Program (AFCP), core funding that Friendship Centres have been receiving for over 40 years is in jeopardy effective April 1st, 2014. The lack of adequate notice of changes to this long term funding relationship has jeopardized the ability of many BC Friendship Centres to properly plan for transition.
The National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC) welcomed a renewed and enhanced partnership with the Government of Canada in a major funding shift announced today, expressing their enthusiasm in playing a greater service delivery role for urban Aboriginal people in Canada.
The Friendship Centre movement is built on community support, trust, strong leadership, tradition and faith and is mandated to improve the quality of life for Aboriginal Peoples throughout Canada.
Located in Victoria BC, the BCAAFC is the umbrella association for 25 Friendship Centres throughout the Province of British Columbia.
The BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres & Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre are proud to host: Gathering Our Voices 2014 from March 18-21, 2014 in Vancouver, British Columbia on the shared traditional territory of Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-waututh Nations.

I know quilters who enjoy piecing quilts and quilters who enjoy free-motion stitching quilts. But I don't know too many whose favorite part of quilting is cutting the fabric--especially if they're preparing to make a large patchwork quilt. Cutting takes a long time and it can be back-breaking work.
Many people ask me for beginning quilting projects. When you are learning how to quilt, often it's best to start with a easy sewing project that has quilted or patchwork element, like coasters, place mats, or a little bag.
The popularity of pre-cut fabric packs like jelly rolls has made it easier than ever to put together modern patchwork projects. Pre-cuts are a real time-saver, especially if you're making a full-size patchwork quilt.
I'm a sucker for bag and purse patterns. If they feature appliqué hexagons or are made with a fun, contemporary fabric, so much the better.
Judging by the comments on the Quilting Daily Facebook page, a lot of you received fabric and new quilting gadgets for Christmas—perhaps even a new sewing machine? If you're like me, you're now itching to use those new goodies in quilting projects.
When I saw Lynn Krawczyk's Wishing Owl plushies in International Quilt Festival: Quilt Scene magazine last fall, I knew I had to make some of my own. Encouraged by her suggestion to jazz them up in your own way, I gave mine patchwork bodies made from vintage feed sack fabrics.
I always love to hear how people began quilting. Did they make their first patchwork quilt at their grandmother's knee? Did they get bored and take a class that led to a passion? Did a friend drag them to a quilt show, and they were hooked?
I have a long history of finding, buying, hoarding, and using Japanese fabric. I can't bear to part with even the tiniest scrap. I am always looking to incorporate a piece in my patchwork projects.
What does "modern quilting" mean? There are a lot of opinions on what modern quilting is—and isn't. But one thing's for sure, modern patchwork quilting is hot right now.
The first time I laid eyes on Malka Dubrawsky's quilts a few years back, I sat up and took notice. Now, here was someone who was taking basic patchwork quilt blocks and giving them a fresh and contemporary spin using color and freehand cutting and piecing.
There was a time when the only sewing patterns that crossed the threshold of my studio were the vintage tissue paper kind I gathered to use in my mixed-media artwork or the books of Victorian sewing patterns and needlework I collected for inspiration and amusement.
Summer is coming and I'm getting ready for the three Bs: bikinis, beaches, and books.I read year-round, but I especially look forward to those summer beach books, even if most of the time I'm just catching a few sun-screened rays on my deck. And while I don't mind getting a little lotion on a fat paperback, I'm more careful about my Kindle. So making a Kindle Cover is definitely on my summer season to-do list.
Aren't we all craving signs of spring right about now? I know I am. Heck, I'd be happy to go right to summer! Back at Quilting Arts headquarters in Massachusetts, spring is slow to arrive. In fact, we can have snow as late as May.

Among the Beats collection, the Studio headphones are the only pair of headphones that help in cancelling noise. Studio Beats by Dr. Dre are the most fashionable headphones in the market, by far. They possess comfortable ear-pads and the noise-cancellation technology helps in receiving the most out of the music. They are available in various lustrous shades also including black, white and red. Studio Beats consist of a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The headphones are consisted of a sensitivity of 108 dB.

Background vocals, concealed rhythms and sounds of other instruments are brought to notice when listening to music on these headphones. Studio Beats consist of rotating ear-cups and a flexible headband. They weigh over 9ounces. They have a flexible body that allows the user to fold it up and carry it in a case. It is available with a 4.26 long connector cable with a 3.5mm connector. The headphones would require two AAA batteries. The noise-cancelling headphones come with a one-year warranty.

ASUS Cube Google TV review
Asus has created a TV Box of Google. The Cube is composed of services and applications and its system of menu arranges all these choices in small bits. It is a plastic block which is black in color and is of 4.8 inches on each side. Asus Cube is rectangular in shape, consists of a QWERTY keyboard and playback controls, which are conventional in nature, and an on-screen mouse pointer controller. It provides for a motion sensor for playing some games that are available on the Google Play Store. This model's back-panel is composed of an HDMI output and input, an Ethernet port, USB port, power connector and an infra-red blaster port. Another USB port is situated on the cube, on its right side.
The touch-pad is big and very sensitive. The Asus Cube uses it Cube UI to direct you to the most used items. The touch-pad can be disabled by just pressing button of the mouse pointer which is located on the remote's right side. The touchpad can also be turned into a navigation helper with an eight way and four directions. The cube consists of categories that includes Home, Music, TV and Movies, Social, Sports, News, Games, Favorites and Education.
The microphone of the remote lets one control the Asus Cube with their voice. You can do it by just pressing the microphone button and talking into it when the voice prompt arrives on the screen. The Cube can access myriads of apps through Google Play since it is a Google TV device. Media apps like Netflix are already installed as they are the most commonly used apps on the Cube, but anything can be downloaded from games to calendar apps.
The Prime Time feature of the Google TV accommodates live television and online content services into a single menu system. It is easy to access a lot of programs that can be opened at once. You could also close apps manually to lighten the memory. The Cube aspires to enhance the live TV watching experience. If you are longing for a Google TV, Asus Cube is one of the best ideas to get it into your home theatre.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Review
There was a lot of expectation when Samsung announced the unveiling of Samsung Galaxy S4, since Galaxy SIII ruled the Android world. Galaxy S4 did not dishearten those fans looking forward to its unveiling. It accommodates an octa-core processor and a big and bright high-definition screen. The phone doesn't differ much in terms of looks from its ancestors.
Galaxy S4 is made from polycarbonate element. The screen is even more flat as compared to Galaxy SIII. You can avail the phone in two colors – Black Mist and White Frost. It has a 5- inch screen and looks more like a phone and less like a tablet because of its definite frame and sleek bezel. The Home button and the two touch buttons for Menu and Back still prevails on the front of the phone. The power button is on the right side of the phone, the volume control on the left, a 3.5mm head-set jack and an Infra-red receiver on top and a Micro-USB port at the bottom of the phone. Galaxy S4 also features camera-lens of 13 mega-pixels accompanied with a LED flash just below it.
Galaxy S4 has a 5- inch HD super AMOLED display with a 1080×1920 pixels resolution. Visibility under the sun is good and angles of viewing the phone are amazing.
Samsung Galaxy S4 runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The phone gives a choice between the Ripple Effect and the new Light Effect for the unlock animation. It also offers up to seven home screens that can be flooded with app shortcuts, widgets and folders. There is also a fitness tracking app called the S-Health where one could make their health profile. It also identifies the surrounding's temperature through the phone's in-built sensors. A fascinating feature of the phone is its motion and gesture-driven controls. The phone lasts for a good 9-10 hours.
Samsung Galaxy S4 is mechanized by Samsung's Exynos 5 octa processor which is a set of two quad-core processors. The onboard RAM is of 2GB and is expandable up to 16GB. This phone is certainly the most powerful Android Smartphone in terms of hardware at the price of around 800USD.
Nintendo DS Vs the 3DS
The Nintendo DS has been one of Nintendo's most popular handheld games consoles since the original Game Boy, boasting distinctive features such as a dual screen technology, combining a classic LCD screen with a touch screen, enabling new and alternative gaming features. Furthermore the console allowed multiple consoles to be combined in unison, so players could play against one another through a wifi-enabled connection. Despite the new advances in the technology, the Nintendo DS also stuck with some of its traditional Game Boy roots, allowing compatibility with previous models and a range of classic games. The newer Nintendo 3DS also boasts a host of fantastic features, such as the amazing 3D technology, cool graphics and sophisticated game play. But in doing so it also seems to lose some of the initial simplicity and charm that was so crucial to the success of the Game Boy and the Nintendo DS.
Game selection
There is little doubt that some of the games released on the Nintendo 3DS are some of the most sophisticated and exciting handheld games on the market. For example, the Zelda Ocarina of Time available on the 3DS is far advanced compared to any of the Nintendo DS Zelda titles and there are a range of games which exploit the 3DS 3D graphics brilliantly. However, despite the Nintendo 3DS being available for a number of years, there is still a far larger selection of games available on the Nintendo DS. Furthermore the early DS editions were made to be compatible with Nintendo's Game Boy advance, meaning that this hugely increases the range of games available. If you are interested only in simple classic gaming, which is arguably what the handheld console is all about, the Nintendo DS is perhaps the model for you, but if you are excited by the a small range of sophisticated game using the latest in technology there is an argument to say the 3DS is a better console.
The Nintendo DS seemed revolutionary when it was first introduced using the dual screen and touch screen technology to great advantage. However, many would argue that the Nintendo DS works best when used much like a Game Boy, simply using the two push buttons and the four way directional pad to the side of the screen and ignoring wifi and stylus game play alike. Therefore some may argue that both the 3DS and the DS are not much better than the Game Boy. Much like the original Game Boy, the Nintendo DS will always be regarded as a classic model and therefore is most likely to retain its value for many years, especially as it becomes regarded as retro and antique. Whereas the 3DS advances did not revolutionise game play and therefore it will be regarded as an update on a previous model rather than a classic piece of era defining technology. If you are looking to sell a 3DS it will be better to do it sooner rather than later before the technology becomes outdated. You can sell your 3DS here.
The question as to which is the better console is really a matter of opinion and whether you are committed to classic gaming and selection, or perhaps the latest in gaming technology.

Heigl Is Stephanie Plum
Katherine Heigl is back at work and this time, she has jumped into the role of your average every day girl turned bounty hunter. Katherine Heigl's upcoming film is based on Janet Evanovich's first novel in the bestselling Stephanie Plum series and with 18 more books in the series, this could be more than just one Plum role!
Fans of the Stephanie Plum thrillers now get why Katherine Heigl showed up at the Killers premiere with a head of sassy brown curls! The One for the Money protagonist turns to fighting crime, but she has long been waging war on her curly mane. Katherine Heigl has made a career of playing the beautiful girl next door, but this time, there's a twist -- and we don't just mean the dark hair. After her new character catches her hubby cheating on her and then loses her job in lingerie sales, Stephanie forces her cousin Vinnie to give her a job. Unfortunately, Vincent Plum Bail Bonds doesn't need a secretary, so the desperate normal girl throws herself into the life of an "apprehension agent." Needless to say, Stephanie lands a whopper of a case right out of the gate and since she's a local gal, she also has a past relationship with her target. Instead of tracking some random dirt bag, she finds herself on the hunt for the one that got away in high school. It seems the guy who took her virginity is now a local cop accused of murder. This film adaptation has been in the works since the 90s, with talk that author Janet Evanovich was picturing Sandra Bullock for the role. Instead, Reese Witherspoon was tied to the role, only to be replaced by Katherine Heigl without explanation. After all these years, shooting finally kicked off Monday, July 12 in Ambridge, Pennsylvania and Katherine Heigl has got a few TV hunks onset with her, including Rescue Me's slick bad boy Daniel Sunjata (Ranger), former Life on Mars star Jason O'Mara (Joe) and Patrick Fischler (Cousin Vinnie), who has had roles in everything from Lost, Mad Men and Southland to Dinner for Schmucks. Word is The View's Sherri Shepherd will also be in pocket, while Cristina Aloe plays bail bonds receptionist, Connie. So Stephanie Plum fans, what do you think of the cast?

Progressive Parenting with Actress Mayim Bialik
The brainy star of The Big Bang Theory shares insight on staying sane, happy, and healthy as a modern vegan mom.
Although best known for her acting chops, Mayim Bialik has much more on her plate than just her hit TV show, The Big Bang Theory. Between her entertainment career, social-activism projects, neuroscience studies, and busy life as a vegan mother of two, Bialik has managed to impress us even further by penning a book about parenting. In Beyond the Sling, she shares her personal triumphs, philosophies, and strategies for developing fulfilling, low-stress mother-child relationships through attachment parenting, a set of principles designed to develop trust and compassion through an emphasis on nurturing and bonding. We caught up with this multitalented mom to get the scoop on how she manages to do it all with grace and a smile. There's just one more thing we'd like from Bialik—a cookbook!
VegNews: For those of us who aren't familiar with attachment parenting, what is the fundamental philosophy?
Mayim Bialik: I think the main thrust of it is that the natural way that children exist gives very strong indications of how they need to be treated. So the way that mammals give birth, and feed their young, and sleep with their children—these are all things that attachment parenting looks to. But attachment parenting is also reflected in gentle discipline, methods of caring for your children that are consistent with building up relationships, and a lot of green and holistic people embrace it as well, since there's an emphasis on balancing your life. And many attachment-parenting people also choose to lead a less consumer-heavy lifestyle, but that's not necessarily [the philosophy]—it's just something that many of us tend to do.
VN: How does your background in neuroscience influence your parenting attitudes?
MB: A lot of my neuroscience training informed the parts of the books that focus on hormones, of pregnancy, labor, breast-feeding, closeness to your baby, and things like that. But I think some of the larger issues are not specific to scientists per se. Because the book is very personal, my experience as a scientist and as a person of faith to me has become very tied to an environmental consciousness, which in our house, looks like veganism. But—and this is the complexity—it doesn't look like that for everyone. I tried to explore some of the principles that might allow people to understand it better, that might open up a window for them to understand some of the decisions that vegans make.
VN: Have you found the attachment-parenting community to be a place where you can share veganism?
MB: Yes! I can't say that my husband and I were attachment-parenting people from the get go. But we've found a lot of openness for a lot of variety in this community. True liberalism is allowing for all variations in choice. And although our personal choice is veganism, we've found that the attachment parenting community is open about a lot of things. So we have a handful of vegan friends, and we also have people who weren't vegan but who are now partaking. My friend Denise Herrick Borchert—she's a photographer who has worked with VegNews—introduced me to veganism. And then our friend Nancy started experimenting with it. It's spreading in our little circle in really neat ways. Now, Denise and I are doing a no white sugar, unprocessed diet together, actually. For her, I think it's more of a lifestyle, but I've been doing it as more of a cleanse, I'm just really loving it. I've been I think about 90-percent raw for two weeks. It's awesome. I literally haven't eaten anything with more than three ingredients. It's really been fun!
VN: Would you say that you generally experience positive reception from non-vegan parents when you talk to them about vegan parenting?
MB: No (laughs), it's kind of a mixed bag, you know? A lot of people don't understand it, and feel judged even though I'm not judging and haven't even opened my mouth aside from saying "I'm vegan." Social stuff can be hard, but living in a part of the world where there are so many variations, we know kids who are gluten free, or have allergies—my little guy is allergic to soy and cashews. So I feel like being vegan is one more thing, but I feel very fortunate that especially in LA, if our boys go to someone's house for a playdate, most parents know what vegan means, they know not to feed our kids certain things, and that it's not funny to feed them things that aren't vegan. The more information I have, the better informed a vegan I am to try to spread positive information. I recently started writing for kveller.com, and I decided that I wanted to write a piece about vegan pregnancy because I feel like it's been getting a bad rap.
VN: How do you explain the concept of veganism to your children, or how do you think that they view it?
MB: I think that they view it the same way they view that we have a kosher house: There are certain things we eat and there are certain things we don't. Just as my three-year old doesn't understand the concept of the Torah and its prohibitions, I don't know that he would understand yet the complexities of environmental, ethical, and health reasons why we're vegan. But for us it works to say, this is what works for our bodies. Dr. Gordon, our pediatrician—who is vegan—this is what he says builds our bodies and our brains best, and this is what works for our family. I don't want to have children who are judgmental of other kids or adults, what they eat … Our older son is six, and I think we will start more kind of age-appropriate information about some of the choices we make
VN: It seems like most children are actually born with that deep sense of compassion and sort of love for animals.
MB: It varies by family when you want to introduce that. For our boys it's kind of funny, if there's a play-set of food and there's chicken. My older son will say, "Chicken? Who eats chicken?" I don't know that he's even had that chickens-walking-around-are-the-chickens-that-he-hears-about-people-eating moment—I don't know if that's happened for him, but suffice it to say that they have a really varied, rich, exciting diet. We eat out, we eat in. And yeah, at birthday parties their lives may look different from other kids' but to them, we haven't had a problem.
VN: If the day came when one of your children wanted to try cheese or a burger, how would you handle their request?
MB: I think being a Jewish kosher person has kind of warmed us up for that. There are certain foods we just don't eat. It's the same way that we deal with discipline. If you give a no, you have to give two yes's. So if it's "no, you can't have that cookie," it's "you can have this cookie," or "you can have a carrot," or "you can have an apple," or "you can have a handful of almonds." The concept of gentle discipline and starting healthy habits with breastfeeding, those are things that have really served me well in the choices we've made as vegans.
VN: How do you balance the philosophies of attachment parenting, which are so nurturing and so focused on being close with your child, without "hovering"?
MB: There are plenty of hovering parents who practice attachment parenting, but to be quite honest with you, there are plenty of parents I know who don't practice attachment parenting who are also hovering. I think that might occur statistically more often in attachment parenting, but it's not really my style. I think that's personality, I think it's anxiety and a lot of other things. A lot of people are surprised when I say that I'm really not that big on handwashing, or "you have to sit here when you eat," or "I'm going to watch you eat that and make sure you don't choke," or "don't get dirty, and use antibacterial wash"… it's not my style. I'm really for kids exploring, playing, being adventurous, and being however they naturally want to be. To me, it's more about the personality of the parent, and I've found that that does shape the personality of the child more. But [people] want to hear that there's an easy way to have the perfect kid and be the perfect parent. And unfortunately, you kind of have to dig deep into your own crap when you become a parent, and you find out a lot about what pushes your buttons. But it also helps you grow—it's the birth of you as an adult.
Chat with Mayim, Sayward Rebhal, and Jesse Miner about the joys of vegan parenting at our next Twitter Chat, coming April 18.

Maryland here we come!!!
... truly enjoyed ourselves there last year and felt totally at home! We can't wait to go to the "Crab Bag" and have a "crabby experience"!!! All I can say is, crabs, shrimp and oysters you better hide because we are coming...
For now, we are slowly driving up...with of course, a stop in Richmond, Virginia to see Alexandra!
This should be a very happy week!

... of the Tampa Bay. I drive five minutes and I am on Bayshore Boulevard, the Country's longest (4 mile) walkable sidewalk that lines the Tampa Bay. This has truly been an eyeopening and amazing experience so far, and can't wait to see what the future holds for me here in Florida.
If you have never travelled here, it definitely is a place you want to see. I don't think people know how beautiful our country is. You can truly be "on vacation" here without leaving the country.

We were glad that they closed the park for the day at 5:00. This gave us a chance to gat back to the campground and pool after haircuts and some shopping. Off to see Mickey and Minnie tomorrow.
Arrived in Tampa!
It is bright and sunny as the plane lands. Delores is waiting in the airport and thank God that I only have a roll aboard. Delores meets me at the airport, and we soon meet Suzi.
