Interesting Thoughts About 4th Generation Business Strategy
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on July 27, 2005 - 16:01
An interesting riff on the concept of 4th generation warfare as applied to the evolving media landscape and accompanying earthshattering changes to the existing corporate media business model comes from the uber/hep/geek blog of screenwriter John Rogers. What's it all mean? There's a lot to the post but here's one except:
Personal brands are now more important than corporate brands -- or at the very least, more efficient. Nobody -- and I say this full-knowing the outcry from some suited friends -- goes to see a movie because it's from Paramount. Or Fox. Or Warner Brothers. Or Sony. Not a human on this planet says "Well, I wasn't going to go, but it's a Paramount flick." People go to movies because the media campaign -- usually integrating strong personal brands, hey, look at that -- has convinced them this particular project from the studio is worth their time.
And Rogers name checks Penny Arcade in the post so it's clear he thinks this applies to webcomics.

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on July 27, 2005 - 11:33
This week's series of news updates brought to you by Increasingly Odd References. Increasingly Odd References - we make the things that make you go, eh.
In blogland, there's a great post here with two interviews: one with John Allison of Scary Go Round and the other with Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content. Elsewhere, Srdjan has a lengthy review of Darken. Finally, check out the recent post from Occultatio where he checks in on Loserz, Schlock Mercenary and Bob The Angry Flower. (Speaking of BTAF, fans should check out Notley's annotated archives and examples of his other webcomic PopStrip at his site.)
Also, this is a bit odd - Drawn! blog points us to a scan of a strip where Charlie Brown and Lucy from Peanuts take a tour of a newspaper plant.
Whoa - Scott Kurtz getting spat on at Comicon? It was those dastardly Warp 9 To Hell guys! (W9TH also has a funny couple of strips on a webcomic Family Feud)
Wednesday Morning News Roundup
Submitted by Erik Melander on July 27, 2005 - 09:04
Digital Strips noted some days ago that Zoinks!, the webcomic magazine helmed by Bill Charbonneau, is returning to print (yes, it's a print magazine) in October and is accepting submissions.
Joey Manley has updated the Webcomics Nation website with descriptions of its features. For those of us that has been keeping an eye on the forums there seems to be no completely new features announced. But does anyone know if WCN's business strategy is completely reliant on advertising now or are there some kind of premium accounts?
UPDATE:Joey Manley has commented in this post clarifying the business strategy of WCN.
A blog by the name of Ponderance has interviewed both John Allison and Jeph Jacques. The questions cover both their webcomic businesses and interaction with their readership. Interesting stuff.
Penny Arcade has made another line of limited edition prints. 250 were sold at Comicon and 500 were available through their ThinkGeek store. The previous set of prints sold out in under eight hours and some later appeared on eBay. The second set became available through the store yesterday and sold out in under two hours. Each print was priced at 80 USD.

careful to point out the importance of expanding analysis beyond the institutional form per se to include an examination of the relevant processes of institutional change. Finally, Berkes proposes to extend the direction of research on the commons through the use of the adaptive management approach (the management equivalent of "learning by doing") and the concept of resilience (i.e., the ability of a system to absorb perturbations). These, he believes, provide a meaningful way to integrate social and natural systems and facilitate movement toward a theory of cross-scale institutional linkages.

Weight Loss
Myths and Facts about Your Weight & Diet
by Marcelle Pick. It never ceases to amaze me how many myths we're bombarded with concerning diet, exercise, and weight. Following are some common myths that I hear frequently from my patients. Have you heard them, too? Have you begun to realize that they're false?
A Wholistic Approach to Weight Management
by Donald R. Yance, CN, MH, RH(AHG). Although I don't believe in calorie counting, I do believe it is essential to be wise in our dietary choices. If weight loss is a goal, then choosing low-energy-density foods for the bulk of your diet and using high-energy foods as condiments or...
Gut Microbes and Diet Interact to Affect Obesity
Gut microbes from lean people helped prevent mice from becoming obese—but only if the animals ate a healthy diet. The research could point the way to new treatments for obesity.
The 1000 Calorie Diet And Menu For Weight Loss
As evident from its name, the 1000 calorie diet is a form of eating routine that restricts the daily caloric intake to 1000 calories. This dietary programme is suitable for those who wish to lose weight fast and therefore restrict their daily consumption to those foods which provide not more than 1000 calories. This diet is appropriate for rebalancing your digestive system after a period of unhealthy nutrition since an unhealthy body cannot lose weight effectively.
Common Sense Your Diet
by Vijay Vad, M.D. There are so many diets out there -- and everyone suggests that their way is the best! It may be that each diet has something that makes sense, but is one better than the other? And is that "one" the same for everyone? Dr. Vijay Vad presents some common sense information and recommendations that can be applied to all of us.........
How To Lose Weight By Achieving Optimal Ketosis
When you are at a plateau, you need to pull out the big guns to help you lose weight. The Ketogenic diet is one of those magic tricks that can put your body back into gear and jump start weight loss again.
How Almonds Can Help You Lose Weight
We often read about strict diet plans, regular workouts and exercises when it comes to Weight loss. And you often must have read about certain food items which help in losing weight like carrots, banana, chillies etc. But do you know that nuts can help you lose those extra pounds? We always think nuts are rich in fatty acids, thus we tend to stay away from them. But now you have a reason to rejoice, as studies have proved that almonds are a great stimulant which helps to reduce weight. Many celebrities including Kajol have turned to the almond weight loss diet.
Less sleep leads to more eating, weight gain
Sleeping a mere five hours a night during a workweek with unlimited access to snacks isn't good for your waistline, according to findings released Monday.
Write Off Your Sugar Habit & Your Weight — and Shed Twice as Much!
by Connie Bennett, CHHC, CPC, ACC. When it comes to weight loss, the pen is mightier than the scale. Begin to keep careful track of everything you put into your mouth, including beverages.

Compulsive Eating: Are You Eating Your Heart Out?
by Meryl Hershey Beck, MA, MEd, LPCC. Emotional overeating involves eating large quantities of food in a short period of time, feeling out of control during these binges, eating rapidly, eating without physical hunger, choosing to eat alone, grazing (nibbling at food all day), and/or feeling depressed about overeating.

Weight Problems: Cause of Preventable Deaths?

Trouble Losing Weight? Eight Ways to Pick up the Pace
by Brant Secunda and Mark Allen. According to the Mayo Clinic, after some initial weight loss, most of us will hit a plateau unless we change a few behaviors--for instance, by eating less and exercising more. Here are eight changes you can make to your routine so you can reach your long-term goal more quickly.
The Practice of Food: New Routines & Measuring Portions
by Dayna Macy. "Am I fat?" I've never actually asked this question of another human being — until now. I'm sitting in the office of Dr. Linda Bacon, a nutrition professor in the Biology Department at City College of San Francisco and author of Health at Every Size. "Yes." I want to make sure I've heard correctly. "You just said I'm fat, right?" She nods and...

Anorexia and Bulimia
by Carol Emery Normandi and Laurelee Roark. Unfortunately many girls, in order to look like a supermodel, need to develop an eating disorder and spend a lot of time being concerned with their food and their weight. Bulimia nervosa is a form of compulsive eating where you binge and then purge. Types of purging may include vomiting, fasting, excessive exercise, or use of diuretics, laxatives, or diet pills. Anorexia nervosa is self-starvation. People with anorexia refuse to maintain their body weight over a minimal natural weight for their age and height.
Making New Connections
Consider this: 167 million men and women in the United States are on a diet at any given moment. If that many people are trying a solution and it doesn't work, something's wrong with the so-called solution. Contrary to what proponents of expensive diet regimens say, these diets can't work long term, no matter how much willpower you have.
Diet - A Four-Letter Word
by Nicki Anderson.
The word diet simply defines the food we ingest each day. But it has become a four-letter word or a badge of honor, sometimes even a badge of martyrdom. Dieting has become a national pastime, with everyone waiting in line for the next diet of the month, guaranteed to make us all fit and trim.
Emotional Eaters
by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.
Emotion Eaters are often at a loss to explain why the pounds they've lost creep back again, and they may blame themselves for their lack of willpower. But, in truth, it's really a lack of self-awareness that's to blame -- not being aware of what it is that drives them to eat so much.
Emotional Eating vs. Physical Hunger
by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.
Self-awareness is a key ingredient to recovering from the Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome. There are 16 feelings that Emotion Eaters most often confuse with physical hunger. These listings merely describe the fattening feelings and explain why they lead to overeating.
From Eating... to Obesity
Everything we know about our prehistoric ancestors is that they were lean. If they finished lunch hungry, they had a choice. Go off for an hour or two and find more food or have a siesta during the heat of the day. You had to really want the food to go to the effort of getting it. Today of course, in the affluent countries, we are surrounded by food.
What is the Zone?
by Barry Sears, Ph.D.
For generations, every male on my father's side of my family suffered from a similar fate: a premature heart attack that cut their life short decades too early. I knew I couldn't change my genes, but I was determined to find a way to lead a normal, healthy life span...
Self-Discovery Through Obesity
If we are so gracious with flu symptoms in ourselves, or pneumonia symptoms in our friends, why then are we so cruel with symptoms of another disorder that affects nearly 70% of the American population? Obesity. Do we really think that someone would choose to be overweight? Do we really think that children say, "When I grow up I want to be fat?"

|The 3rd pitch does start in said alcove. When you get there you can set pink and red tricams or a few similarly sized stoppers overhead in the crack you will see only upon arrival there. I belayed at the anchors though, and then went left as part of the next pitch. As well, we also did the bulge/roof just left of the bolted belay of the roof- took a orange HB microcam and a few stoppers, but none were very good. A second small cam would have made me feel better (.3") but was not on my rack, so we did without. Moves are juggy to a good pinch and then sloper there. Nice variation.

|The crack on pitch two is great until it ends half way through the pitch. Where the crack ended, I climbed straight up and left to join the anchors for 'The Bulge'. I started the third pitch from the bolt anchors, headed up and left, and found myself seriously runout with questionable gear placements down and right from me. After repeated attempts I retreated and probably did a variation of the third pitch.

Astronaut Scott Carpenter recovering from stroke
by The Associated Press September 29, 2013 12:25 PM
VAIL, Colo. (AP) – Astronaut Scott Carpenter, the second American to orbit Earth, is recovering from a stroke.
Patty Carpenter tells the Vail Daily her 88-year-old husband had a stroke last week and has been moved to a rehabilitation center. She hopes he will be up and around in a few weeks.
Scott Carpenter, a longtime Vail resident, is remembered for his radio call "Godspeed, John Glenn," when Friendship 7 lifted off and Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth on Feb. 20, 1962. Carpenter was Glenn's backup pilot for that flight.
Three months later, Carpenter became the second American in orbit.
Patty Carpenter says "Scott was John's backup. Now John is his backup," adding that the two astronauts talk to each other almost every day.

Lourdes University's athletic department may be young, but it's already proving itself mighty in the world of collegiate sports. In its brief 4-year history, competitive cheer, men's and women's volleyball, and men's basketball have all qualified for national tournament competitions.
As part of Lourdes University's master plan, the institution accumulated approximately 10 acres over the past 6 years including the former bus property off Brint and McCord Roads. After working with Sylvania city administration to have the planned development approved, Lourdes broke ground on the first phase of its Mid-Campus expansion last fall.

Good Hand mixer
Jason from Marion, IA– Verified Buyer
It does what a hand mixer is supposed to do.
Little workhorse!
Jo from Maple Valley, WA– Verified Buyer
This little thing is an absolute powerhouse - I can't even count how many dozens of cookies and batches of muffins this little workhorse has made. The digital speed feature is really convenient, it's easy to use and clean and can get through some pretty hefty cookie-dough. Still going strong after countless batches.
Mix it up a little!
J from Florida– Verified Buyer
Great hand held mixer for the price. Definitely powerful and nothing less than what I was expecting from the makers of cuisinart.
Good quality
Colleen from Accord, NY– Verified Buyer
Hard working machine. I like the slow start feature. Takes a bit of getting used to because I hit the speed instead of eject sometimes... but not the machine's fault.
Nice Hand Mixer
Matthew from New York, NY– Verified Buyer
This mixer is a great supplement to a stand mixer that I have. When I just need to do something quick, this little mixer does the job. And it looks great on the kitchen cart, too.
Lee from Evansville, IN– Verified Buyer
Great mixer. Very powerful. Best mixer I haver ever had.
Janice from Inwood, NY– Verified Buyer
Easy to use easy to clean light and easy to hold.
Pam from Vancouver, WA– Verified Buyer
We are very happy with our mixer. Needed one with enough power to do the heavier batters and it is a plus that it looks nice.
The best I've ever owned
Frances from Vancouver, WA– Verified Buyer
I've been using this now for over a year. I had seen it promoted on Cook's Country as being the best hand mixer and I have found it to be true.

TVR, the once-dead manufacturer of delectably insane British sports cars, is on the verge of a revival after being sold to a consortium of new owners. The bad news is that they're all newbies to the car business; the good news is that they seem to know what TVR is all about. »

Address vector-borne diseases: WHO
The World Health Organisation (WHO) Friday called for strengthening the health system across India to address the threat of vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria.
"The World Health Day campaign 'small bite: big threat' brings renewed focus on sustainable control, elimination and eradication of vector-borne diseases," WHO representative to India Nata Menabde said at a national consultation organised by the health ministry and the WHO.
"It is only through strengthening of health systems with effective stewardship, enhanced collaboration across agencies, sectors, and all levels of government, and implementation of regulatory mechanisms that the challenge of vector-borne diseases in India can be addressed," she added.
With vector-borne diseases endemic in more than 100 low and middle-income countries across the world and accounting for 17 percent of the global burden of communicable diseases, more than half the world's population is at risk.
A panel discussion deliberated on India's strategy for eliminating malaria. The issue of dengue as a major public health problem was also discussed, including measures like behavioural change communication and effective inter-sectoral coordination that India should undertake to curb dengue.
In a major step forward, the Indian government and WHO recently conducted a Joint Monitoring Mission on vector-borne diseases to review progress, identify challenges and provide state-of-the-art advice on strategic issues, including how best to improve the integration of vector-borne diseases with the general health system in the country.

10.4: Quickly determine which active apps are universal
I've also found RosettaTest to be incredibly useful for quick checks of running applications. Just run it, and it pops up a list of running apps with a little R badge over the icons of apps running under Rosetta.
Some people might find it overkill to install another app, but for me it's worth the 228k to have another way to check.

The lovers of Valdaro
For 6,000 years, two young lovers have been locked in an eternal embrace, hidden from the eyes of the world. The Lovers of Valdaro — named for the little village near Mantua, in northern Italy, where they were discovered.
The lovers are in fact two human skeletons, dating back to the Neolithic era; they were found in a necropolis in the nearby village of Valdaro in 2007, huddled close together, face to face, their arms and legs entwined.

Fun fact I knew this girl from camp who had a British accent but she wasn't from England and then one day I went to her house and her parents didn't have a British accent either so I asked her where she got it from because I was really confused and she told me her parents faked it until she was 7 because they wanted a child with a British accent
I literally just dropped my spoon in my cereal.

Texas Longhorns quarterback David Ash had his moments in the spring game, going 17-for-24 with 162 yards and two touchdowns, including a 38-yarder to Mike Davis.
Ash also had his fair share of mental lapses, errantly tossing a shuffle pass into the belly of linebacker Jordan Hicks and overthrowing a receiver down the middle for interception No. 2.
"He's got to be smarter than that," Texas head coach Mack Brown said. "Other than that, he managed the game really well and made the right calls."

Water is the element of change. The moon is the source of power in waterbending, and the original waterbenders learned by observing how the moon pushed and pulled the tides.

" USRobotics USB Internet Phone 9600 - USB VoIP phone - Skype "
This is a brilliant phone to use with skype. It saves all the messing around with microphones and speakers, and allows you to use skype as if you were talking with a normal phone, although still tied to your computer.
The handset simply plugs into your computer via usb and you can use it as a microphone and speaker for skype. To use the buttons on the phone and the display you will need to install the drivers. I downloaded skypemate, which makes the phone work properly. The arrow keys on the handset are for moving around the menus in skype, and you can select a contact and then use the green phone button (below the arrow keys) to call the select contact.
In standby the time and date are shown on the display. While in a call the call duration/ status is shown. The call quality is ok. The speaker sounds a little tinny, but at adjust the volume (using the up/ down keys while calling) to normal volume and it is very audible and clear. The microphone is better, and when I tested calling the 9600 (with a friend) the call quality was good, and sounded like a normal phone.
I did have a slight problem installing skypemate. It seemed to get confused if it was started after skype, and the handset had to be unplugged and then plugged back in, to make it work properly. This problem was quite hard to solve, but I adjusted the startup order on my pc to ensure skypemate was started before skype and I've had no further problems.
Overall this is a reasonable phone. It is a bit limiting that you still have to use your pc to make skype calls. For anyone looking to buy a Skype phone for regular use might want to consider a phone that doesn't require a pc and/ or is cordless.
Call around the world for free with the USRobotics USB Internet Phone. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the powerful Skype Internet telephony application, the USB Internet Phone simply plugs into a USB 1.1 or 2.0 port to provide easy voice communications to any Skype user world-wide. The full-featured LCD screen provides convenient access to call status and supports Caller ID, while the key pad allows you to place calls from your Skype phone book or to telephones anywhere in the world with the SkypeOut subscription service.

Wet the mildewed area with water. The water will wet the mildew and stain to prepare it for removal.
How to Remove Mildew From Granite
Granite is a natural stone often used in the contemporary home. It's used for floors, countertops, showers and tubs. Because it's commonly found in high humidity areas, like kitchens and bathrooms, it is susceptible to mildew. Mildew is a problem for granite because it leaves behind a stain that is difficult to remove. General mildew removers are too harsh for granite, so a specific cleaner needs to be used. Mildew is preventable with proper ventilation and regular cleaning.
Things You'll Need
- Granite poultice
- Plastic wrap
- Tape
- Pin
- Scraper
- Soft towel
Mix some of the poultice with a bit of water until it is the consistency of peanut butter. Mix enough poultice to cover the mildew.
Spread the poultice onto the mildew so it is 1/4-inch thick. Avoid spreading it on unaffected areas.
Cover the poultice with plastic wrap and seal it to the granite with tape. Use a pin to prick a few holes in it so the poultice can dry. Let the poultice sit until it is dry -- up to 48 hours.
Scrape off the poultice with a plastic scraper. Rinse the area with fresh water and dry with a soft towel.

Bring Back Your B51s
"B51" was Ma Mopar's option code for power brakes way back when, and the power-brake boosters they sourced from Bendix served well for years. Now, however, they're likely starting to leak and not hold vacuum. Until now, your choices included a generic remanufactured one, a swap meet find…or crossed fingers. MBM now has a better option for your B51-optioned E-Body or '60s/'70s-vintage B-Body: A new reproduction Bendix-style booster. It's an exact replacement for your OEM one, and it comes with specific mounting hardware and firewall plates (when you let MBM know what year, make, and model your Mopar is when you order). With a retail price under $230, can you afford to risk what can happen with your old booster much longer?

Tri-Ys For Your LA
Custom fit without the custom price…that's what Schumacher Creative Services' new Tri-Y headers give your LA small-block /Torqueflite-equipped E-Body, B-Body, or '67-later A-Body. They're designed for street and light competition use, and feature 14 gauge steel tubing, high-quality welds, mandrel-bent for a smooth flow, with ball-and-socket joints at the collector and heavy-duty steel flanges. They've also got excellent spark plug clearance, and they allow retention of exhaust studs on the heads—no more breaking into water jackets! They're available in your choice of uncoated, ceramic-coated, or chromed finishes, they're built only 10 sets at a time, they're individually test fit to provide quality and accuracy rarely found outside of custom headers, and they install from the top quickly and painlessly.

Make That Dash Dashing (Again)
Specifically, the Rally Dash in your '70 Road Runner, Superbird, GTX, Charger, Super Bee or Coronet R/T. Four-decades-plus of sun, heat, and cold took their toll on them. (So did shotgun-seat passengers, and 8-track tape player installers who didn't watch—or care—where they cut!) That's where new reproduction '70 B-Body Rally Dash glove box doors and lower dash trim pieces from Tony's Parts come in handy. These accurate reproductions are made of modern-tech materials, all their mounting posts are in place in the correct locations, and they fit just like the originals. They're available as a set (as seen here), or individually, from Tony's Parts.

Two From Dante's
Got a '67-'69 Barracuda out in the garage as your current project? Or does yours need a little "freshening?" Check out these two new items for your second-gen Fish from Dante's Mopar Parts. Keep the weather from getting in when you install a new reproduction windshield gasket. It's made from modern high-tech materials, which means it'll stay soft, and keep the rain out, longer than the OEM gasket (or what's left of it) can. Dante's Mopar Parts also has new some steel for all '67-'69 Barracudas (coupe, fastback, and convertible): Reproduction trunk extensions. Made on new AMD tooling, they're stamped from heavy-gauge steel, and come ready to fit up and weld in.

Two-Stage Painting Made Easier
You've heard of Summit Racing Equipment's Two-Stage Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint System, and you've seen the good results that other Mopar folks have had with it. Now it's even easier to use. By eliminating a lot of complicated application steps, and offering a core group of color options, Summit makes the ordering process less complicated, while cutting your painting costs, letting you keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket. Specific car icons on the label identify either the 2-Stage Low VOC (that's compatible with California's and other states' VOC emission laws) or Two-Stage National Rule paint systems. Each system includes primers, sealers, clearcoats, reducers, hardeners, and specialty additives that'll give you professional results in your own shop. Summit's Two-Stage Systems are available in 40 vibrant basecoat colors, and are formulated to create a brilliant finish, with minimal drying times.

Fish Filler
We're talking about the E-Body Fish (Barracuda), and its Dodge counterpart (Challenger) here, and the original unibody on yours likely needs some resto help at the firewall. That's where these new firewall filler panels from ShermanParts come in handy. Licensed by Ma Mopar and made of modern-tech steel on new tooling based on the original blueprints, these panels fit all E-Body body styles-hardtop, convertible and the fixed-rear-quarter-windows coupe. They match all the details of the originals that have been out of production since the "Extra Care In Engineering" days ended—and out of the original-parts pipeline almost as long. They come ready for installation, and Sherman's can ship them anywhere in the world. With a retail price of just $125.99 per side—plus tax and shipping—can you find NOS/NORS ones, or ones this nice on a parts car, at that price?

Dear Gals,
That's autumn ! I love this season : Rock & Cocooning. This is the moment to wear rock fashion. I can't stop to drool over the gorgeous collection of Ghost of Harlem. I noticed a black bracelet with a lily.
One Spo is my second choice, I love this long black skirt very sophisticated : A rock basic. I'm disappointed about the Glad News collection, no crush.
However, I need to wear more comfortable and warm clothes like boots from Ugg Australia. That's terribly soft & warm for your cold toes. *haha*
Story of my life : When I've a big crush for a beige coat from Ghost of Harlem and there is no "rokku" inspiration. The coat cost 22,800 yen. *ouch*
For this moment, I don't need makeup. I've got already a lot makeup to use. If I can have a guilty pleasure, I'll buy the heart blush from Too Faced and a green base from Make Up For Ever for the rednesses of my skin.
The big part of my wishlist is about hair. I would like to change my hairstyle for a pink ombre hair. I reflect for the best permanent product, I'm waiting your tips !
The second choice is to buy new wigs. I found two wigs with different styles. What is your favourite ? The lavender or the pink cherry color ?
I'm a girl who like gadgets... I would like to test the "Curl Secret" from Babyliss for to have easily nice curls. The last product from Calor "Volum'24 Respectissim", I would like to test just to satisfy my curiosity.
Don't ask any questions. I don't do renovation work at home. I just need these lightings for my future videos. I want to have the best luminosity. *haha*
Hey ! I forgot to say : Today it's my wedding anniversary ! One year with my lovely husband. He offers me a gorgeous set of jewellery from Swarovski ! Thank you my love ~
And you, What is your wishlist for this autumn ?
Kisses & Hugs,

I ordered two of these to put on either side of my garage door. While the light is nice, it just wasn't quite long enough to hold its own on the garage so I had to return it.
By:Stephanie (Venice)
Installed easily. The light projecting down and up from this fixture is beautiful (and accurately represented in the photo). LED means I can leave it on, guilt free.
By:Sam , Homeowner (California)
Bought several in bronze for our terrace. They really look great, high quality product, perfect amount of light for a subdued atmosphere. Very happy with these lights.
By:sbz , Homeowner (Key Biscayne, FL)
Very happy with my two wall sconces. High quality product. Gives the house a modern look and easy to install. LED too!!
By:Larry F , Homeowner (San Ramon, CA)
I love this fixture, we used it on our front porch. It casts a nice light without being too bright. The glass is charming. We usually go for a clean, un-fussy design, so we had some reservations and didn't know if we'd love the glass, but it looks great and does make us feel like it has just rained on this pretty fixture.
By:DesignerMom , Homeowner (Chicago, IL)
This product is perfect for our pool area of our MiMo Mediterranean style home.
By:Sarah , Homeowner (Miami)
I received this product very quickly in the mail and was very happy to see that the item is better than it looks on the website. Love the tall glass and LED light. The item is quality and the price is not bad at all. I ordered another for my balcony. It was very easy to install. Works perfectly.
By:Raul Z , Homeowner (Atlanta, GA)
The Glass and the cement look give this outdoor light a contemporary feel while providing great lighting. The fixture feels solid and sturdy as well.
By:Lucius M. , Homeowner (Miami, FL)

Silver Lake, June 2012
In a city where the summer climate is enough to make a grown woman want to cry, a natural spring-fed pool is untouchable in its refreshingness. This was basically the only time in our 2-day stop that I didn't feel seconds away from a heat stroke.
One of the most surreal/eerie places to visit is a ghost town in the already ghost-like region of West Texas.

Outdoor Lights
When I was in Italy I became obsessed with sitting outside at night under the cafe lights having a fabulous dinner and a good glass of wine. Lets admit it, everything is better with a little glass of vino. So, when I came home I wanted to create that same environment at home so I could have those same al fresco dinners.
I went on the hunt for cafe lights and in the process I ran into Cable and Cotton. These are seriously unique in that they are handcrafted and come in vibrant colors, you can customize each string, and they are so much more unique than generic cafe lights.
I happen to love them down a table…a good alternative to candles outside…
Check them out on Joyus where I show you how you can customize them online!

La Porte City Band will close their series of performances at the Dennis Smith Amphitheater in Fox Park this Wednesday at 7:00 pm. Their Wednesday night performances have been a favorite and we gratefully applaud Director Steck and the band members for entertaining us this summer.
Arts in the Park is thrilled to work alongside The La Porte City Band by providing refreshments for the Wednesday night audience. Concessions are overseen by Nanda Danitscheck, Ashley Otis, and Lisa Denger with the help of La Porte area youth.
Pre-concert activities, starting at 6:30 pm, include Patrick Watterson on the keyboard and artwork by¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Dave Russell. Russell has fun sports-oriented watercolors and prints of major league teams. At 6:45 poetry will be performed by Joanne Thornburg.
Thursday, String of Pearls comes to the amphitheater, co-sponsored by Aerometals and Pine Lake Realty. Sponsors such as these are invaluable as they enable Arts in the Park to continue to bring great performances to the public for free.
String of Pearls is an engaging trio, returning for the fourth time with hits of the Big Band Era. The three vocalists are Northwest Indiana Hoosiers, Gail Brown, Jessica Metros and Linda Skidmore. Their high-energy performance, done in a style reminiscent of the Andrew Sisters and the McGuire Sisters, will engage the audience with classic melodies and swinging songs that will be sung long after the park is empty.
String of Pearls has performed in Brandon, Missouri with Les Brown and his Band of Renown. These vocalists have entertained in Indiana for years. One of their concerts helped raise funds for the Veterans Memorial Parkway in Munster, Indiana.
Tri Kappa Associates will have goodies "Poppin' in the Park" including drinks, popcorn, and cookies. Come early for the pre-concert activities which start at 6:30. While Patrick Watterson plays the keyboard. Then, Tom Vinseck, a member of Maple City Word Crafters will read poetry at 6:45. Dave Russell's artwork will again be on display.
Mark your calendar and don't forget. You want to be at the park singing songs such as, "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" not wishing that you had written the reminder so you didn't miss this event.
String of Pearls is only one of the great bands you can hear for free in August. Arts in the Park looks forward to bringing you Wednesday night performers, such as Dr. Groovy and the Soul Surgeons, La Porte High School Marching Band, and Junior & The Igniters and Thursday night performances by Windiana, Me & the Boys, and The Tom Milo Band.
For more information contact contact Kitty Wolf or Lisa Smithson at 219.363.9317 or 219.362.2258 or email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.artsintheparklaporte.com. As always, Arts in the Park is dedicated to bringing great artistic expression to La Porte.

Sara Malakul Lane's Naked Scrabble!
I don't know what you dudes got up to this weekend, but whatever it was, I can promise you it wasn't even a quarter as amazing as this lucky bastard's, who got to photograph one of my all-time favorite hotties Sara Malakul Lane naked in bed playing Scrabble. Yow! But if you ask me, it's kind of cheating though. I don't know how anybody could be expected to remember how to spell playing against Sara like this. Hell, it's a miracle I could even remember how to type.

Dictators do get sick!…but only in exile!
I always wondered foolishly why presidents never get sick. I was wrong. Apparently, they do. Losing power is what seems to be the common cause. Three days after we heard Egyptian Ex-president Mubarak was 'very sick', today BBC reports Tunisian Ex-president Ben Ali is also 'seriously ill'.

I love that hardware store :) even with their limited hours, and fine patina of 40 year old dust on everything. bring things back to topic, how do you think this mindset applies to our medieval game? did joe- medieval-dude trust his local butcher more than the big shiney guy from out of town? or was the appeal of the new and shiney as appealing to him as it is to most of the folks nowadays? I dont shop at Safeway or Albertsons, nor do i shop at walmart or K-mart. I wont eat at Dennys or McDonalds or other chains if at all possible. I avoid costco as much as I can, preferring the locally owned Cash and Carry (even though costco IS a local corporation for us ;) but then so is Nordstroms and Starbucks ;)). I prefer to buy my meat from a butcher and my produce from the produce stand. but I am also aware that to be able to do so is a luxury many modern people cant afford. And I try to be mindful of the idea that our medieval counterparts didnt HAVE giant megalomarts for one stop shopping. --Anne-Marie, who is eco-groovy and socially hip in her own slightly geeky way :)

Credit has become so much a part of our lives that we don't even give it a second thought
In the 1850s Isaac Singer wanted to increase sales of his sewing machines. Very few people could afford to buy them outright. His plan allowed buyers to put $5 down and $5 monthly. Today peoples' credit histories are a critical reflection of their ability to be trusted.Granting credit has grown into an extremely competitive multibillion dollar industry. The target? Our wallets, usually starting with our young people! Get them and dupe them early they say….
So let's dissect Lila's (the comic) situation for educational purposes.
Frame 1: Mistake 1: Making only the minimum payment. Lila is prolonging her debt free date, mortgaging her financial hopes and dreams for a pleasure that happened already. She is unwittingly enriching the coffers of the bank. She is the customer the bank likes the most. She makes her payment on time but hardly touches the principal. She will be the first customer the bank will grant a credit limit increase, even without her asking.(By the way Lila, that is BAD news.) Putting consumables such as meals out or a vacation on credit is one of the worst ideas if a person regularly carries a balance. You are paying for that past pleasure far into the future. Also did you know that you can charge more than your credit limit?(What is the meaning of limit? a client once wondered to me). If you do spend beyond your limit guess what! You'll be charged a hefty fee.
Mistake 2: Using credit card cheques entails a fee, besides the usual interest charges. Like a cash advance (NOOO!), the interest clock starts ticking immediately. Purchases, however are granted a grace period as indicated by the due date on the statement.
Mistake 3: Applying for a new credit card. 3 cards should be the maximum anyone would need. Beyond that there is opportunity for decreased discipline and increased temptation, not to mention keeping track of all those statements, due dates etc. Every time a person applies for credit an inquiry is registered on their credit history. Too many inquiries in a given time frame are red flags for a potential lender. This could lead to either a declined application or an increased interest rate. It goes without saying that the more loans or credit a person has the more reluctant a lender will be to advance further funds. If funds are advanced they will want to compensate for the increased risk by charging the borrower more.
Frame 2: Mistake 4: Is Lila really getting a 0% interest rate? One subtle way companies get people interested is to promote the low rate. In reality few people qualify for 0%. Lila will incur a one time fee to transfer her balance to a new card. She should ensure that ******** fee does not outweigh the benefits of a lower interest rate. There are potential for more charges in either the annual fee, increased late penalties, or no grace period. Credit cards with rewards are notorious for little noticed fees. Note Lila has a special introductory rate. Has she determined when the introductory period will end? Has she read the fine print to determine what the usual rate is? Does she know that the low rate could be converted to the usual higher rate if she makes even one late payment? Has she figured out if she will still have a balance on that credit card at the end of the introductory period? If not she could end up paying more interest than if she had stayed with her first credit card. Also the low rate usually only applies to balance transfers NOT purchases or cash advances. If Lila wants the maximum advantage on the new card she should only use it for the balance transfer, and pay it off before the introductory period is over.
Mistake 5: Looking only at the interest rate and not considering fees. Most credit cards come in two flavors. High annual fees low interest rate. Or low annual fees high interest rates. Which one do cardholders prefer? Which one is better for your bottom line?Don't get me wrong. Credit can be a great advantage. However, you have to become the customer the bank hates. The customer they NEVER offer a credit limit increase to unless you ask for it. Here's an example of a good use of credit debt. You buy an MP3 player on May 1 with your FasterCard. You take it home download some tunes and have a good time. You get your FasterCard statement on May 25. The due date to pay the balance is June 15. On June 15 you pay off the entire balance. FasterCard has lent you the money for six weeks and you haven't paid a cent of interest. Plus you've enjoyed your new toy for quite a number of days before you've even paid for it. You don't care that the interest rate is 18.99% because you pay off your balance every month! However, if you pay even one day late because you forgot (I've been guilty here), interest will be charged on the entire balance.
Lila should also be aware that the more you owe on a number of credit cards, the greater the chance the interest rate on any one of them will increase as creditors charge a premium for taking on more risk. That is why it is very important to look at your statement for more than 20 seconds a month.
So what can Lila do to become the customer the bank hates?
- She should value her credit and become familiar with her credit history through Equifax or Transunion. Identity theft is one good reason why a person should be familiar with their credit history. Inaccuracies are able to be corrected. (But don't access your file too often.)
- All of her revolving credit should be below 30% of the maximum available balance. For example if the total of her credit card limits is $15,000 she there should be only $5.000 charged at anytime. (see 3)
- She should avoid maxing out her available credit, for more than a few good reasons we've already discussed, and because it could negatively affect the appearance of her credit history.
- Make all payments before the due date.
- Do not go to a credit repair company especially if she values her financial health.
- Type of credit with outstanding balances may negatively affect her credit score. See 6.
- She should not apply for new credit as already discussed, with the exception of applications for a mortgage or car loan as long it's within thirty days of the last inquiry.
- Opening new credit accounts and closing accounts with a long good payment history could adversely affect her credit score.
Why all the concern about Lila's credit? I would suspect she has a problem with debt and if she does she is not alone. A study done by TD Bank in January of this year stated that debt is 120% of AFTER tax income. The National Post stated that the savings rate is 0 the lowest since the Dirty Thirties. Presently we're looking at just under 5% (Q2 2006)
An increased debt burden leaves you with life problems, you know the problems of life: increased interest rates, job loss, relationship breakdown, inability to work, or even less important events like a hot water tank blowing up or having to take time of work for an unforeseen event. An interesting characteristic of these hiccups is that they are entirely unpredictable! After all this you are probably thinking that the credit card game is a lousy one.
