Say Farewell To Winter With This Time-Lapse NASA Video
Hopefully I'm not jinxing anything, but I'm pretty sure winter is over...watch this video to see a time-lapse of all the winter storms that hit the East Coast.
Hopefully I'm not jinxing anything, but I'm pretty sure winter is over...watch this video to see a time-lapse of all the winter storms that hit the East Coast.
Spring has arrived, but you may not want to get out your flip-flops just yet. Over the next couple of weeks, New Jersey is expected to see below average temperatures, which means we cannot rule out spring snowfall.
This group in Sweden took advantage of their surroundings to make musical instruments out of ice.
This is awesome, and I'm guessing quite useful as we prepare for ANOTHER storm
With New Jersey already on the receiving end of two snowstorms in one week, and the possibility of another on the way, many residents are saying "enough is enough" when it comes to the white stuff.
Bitter cold air settles in as the cleanup from Tuesday's snow gets underway.
Another incoming snowstorm and more frigid temperatures are wearing thin on many New Jersey residents.
I'm not sure I want to mash my face into snow, but if you try it yourself, post the pictures here!
Weather-related cancellations and schedule changes for New Jersey schools and businesses are a click away.
Yes, snow is a drag to drive in, a drag to shovel, and an all around hassle.
Of course, it can look beautiful when it falls and when it accumulates, softly blanketing an open field or a stand of trees; but the most impressive magic lies just out of view to our human eyesight, and in stunning close-up photos of snowflakes, that delicate beauty is revealed.
It looks like snow and sleet are headed our way on Sunday, and that gets many people thinking about getting out on the slopes again, and some of them - clearly lacking a particular survival gene - love to find the most dangerous places to show off.
Love when the Hawk listeners get creative! Big Thanks to Doreen Harnage and her snowman for making us a little present in the snow.
Doreen's birthday is on Monday. Happy Birthday Doreen!!!

Macworld Monday: Meet Don Lee, CEO of Nomad Brush
We are continuing our countdown to Macworld | iWorld Conference which will be held in San Francisco, CA this week from January 26-28th. Today, we wanted to introduce you to Don Lee, CEO of Nomad Brush, who will be leading our Tech Talk this Saturday, January 28th at 10:00 a.m. Come meet Don and our other amazing Nomad Macworld artists at our booth (#455)!
Don is an architect and artist. In 1994, Don graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Bachelor of Architecture degree. Don practiced architecture in New York City for 16 years, and moved to Portland, Oregon in 2010 with his wife and two young sons.
When he received a first generation iPad for Father's Day in 2010, Don found it to be a great digital sketchbook and canvas for painting, but found drawing with his finger to be awkward and unnatural. Thus began the journey to find the perfect stylus for drawing, sketching, and painting. After scouring the Internet for different styluses and trying out almost all of them, he still didn't find one that suited his needs. And so…the relentless process of prototyping began. After hundreds of hours tinkering in his Portland-based studio, the Nomad Brush officially launched in February 2011. The name "Nomad" embodies the "Paint Anywhere" spirit, and is also inspired by the first initials of Don's family: NOah, Matthew, Anna, and Don.
What time of the day do you most like to paint/sketch/create?
I like to sketch in the mornings, preferably after a couple of cups of coffee. Unfortunately, with our growing business, I don't get to sketch as often as I'd like!
Who is your favorite artist, dead or alive, and why?
Alberto Giacometti. He possessed an incredible ability to move from abstract to figurative art and as a result, made huge contributions to both.
Which artistic tool do you most frequently use in your non-digital art creations?
Pentel brush pen: It's very smooth and the brushstrokes are really graceful.
If you could take your Nomad Brush to anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I'm really looking forward to taking my Nomad Brushes to the Milford Track in New Zealand.
What is your favorite snack to eat when you are creating art?
I actually don't snack when I'm in the midst of creating something, but I do like my shrimp chips.
We're looking forward to seeing many of you at Macworld. Stay tuned later this week for highlights from the event! If you will be attending and are interested in submitting a guest blog post during or after the show, contact us today!

Ten years ago, following the war that deposed Saddam Hussein, Israeli doctors operated on and saved an Iraqi infant with a severe heart defect.
Now the same Israeli organization, Save a Child's Heart, has recently saved a young Syrian girl.
The mother told reporters she was hesitant about coming to Israel because it is an enemy country to Syria but also said the only thing that mattered for her was having the opportunity to save her daughter's life.
"We kept taking her to doctors and to the hospital but nothing could be done for her," the mother said. "She couldn't run and play like other children and she was very sick most of the time."
Dr. Lior Sasson, one of the physicians to volunteer with the SACH medical team, said the child was in grave condition when she arrived in Israel and would not have survived much longer. "Without the surgery, she could have died within a few months, maybe even weeks," he said.
Since 1995, Save a Child's Heart (SACH) has treated more than 3,000 children suffering from congenital and rheumatic heart disease aging from infancy to 18 years of age from the "four corners of the Earth" – 45 countries where adequate medical care is unavailable.
Approximately 50% of the children are from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Morocco; more than 30% are from Africa; and the remaining are from Asia, Eastern Europe and the Americas.
Israel is regularly condemned in some venues as a racist state. Organizations like Save a Child's Heart show that the claim is absolutely false.

Reblog this if you think you're actually a decent RPer. If you love coming on here every day to see and chat with all your friends. If you love sending fun anon messages that aren't hateful and you love seeing peoples responses to them.
Reblog this because you all deserve to have a little self-love now and then! Seriously, it won't hurt!
the child was almost killed by a corrupt guy who killed the girls family he tried to strangle rika for the wounds i was whipped on my bare chest and back and branded with a mark
"I think we better take her to Shi-san and the medics then, this is out of my ability range," Samui responded, keeping her cool as always though was internally greatly torubled. What had gone on during her brother's mission…
"Why is this girl important anyways?" she asked as she carried the child while lending her brother her shoulder as they headed toward the Kumogakure hospital.
(Source: cool-your-tits)
"My village was destroyed." "I have no where else to go." "I've always been out here."
"Out here..as in on the outskirts of Kumo or just wandering around?" the Kumogakure ninja asked, frowning. She hadn't heard anything recently of a destroyed village but the circumstance wasn't unheard of even during peace time. "What's your name, kid?"
(Source: cool-your-tits)
Oh my gosh there's another Samui blog (stiffshoulders) :') The lovely cool kunoichi is finally getting more love. And there's an Atsui (lightning-atsui) OMG. Also there's now an active C (lightning-pillar) and Darui (thedullrighthand) and Omoi (downbeatshinobi).
Holy crap I'm so happy XD Kumogakure used to have a lot of roleplayers a little over a year ago (we used to be like a club Q_Q) but now they're so rare and the characters are so awesome I'm glad they're being appreciated and RP-ed again :D
And of course there's the ever awesome Karui (omotegiri) [i love this girl , seriously] and Yugito (kumo-feline) we've all come to know and love. <3
Idk, this started off as an "omg there's another samui" post and then this happened ._. what is life

*a little kid slowly walks out* "…….Sorry if I disturbed you." "I'm…….not used to interacting with others."
The kunoichi calmed a bit but kept her guard up. Even children must not be underestimated. She eyed the blonde child wearily. He appeared to be around age eight to ten, academy age, if he was a shinobi.
"What are you doing wandering around at night?" she asked, arching a brow.

Someone peeks out of hiding but tries hard to stay hidden. He looks around for a second and then quickly hides again. //I'm not very great with responses. I'm sorry if they're short, but I feel comfortable writing short.//
Sensing a presence nearby, the woman's hand immediately moved to the hilt of her tanto. Tho her face remained as impassive as ever, she glanced around, azure eyes scanning for her the unknown watcher.
"Who's out there," she called out calmly. "Be cool and show yourself,"

Over the next few months, there will be a lot of debate in Washington, D.C., about the nation's spending.Few people want to cut programs such as defense spending, and there isn't much money in other agencies. The big money and the big debates involve entitlements, from Social Security and Medicare to welfare.Is there really a problem between the "takers" and the "makers" in the United States? Is there really the problem of a "welfare society"?Be careful with labelsWe must be very careful labeling people "makers" and "takers." I was a "maker" for 55 years and now that I am retired some call me "taker." However, during that 55 years I paid into Social Security, so am I really now a "taker"?Almost all of us, at some time, are takers. The conservative model of "trickle-down economics" is nothing more than us giving to the wealthy ("takers"), so they can become makers and (hopefully) create jobs for us.Corporations taking tax abatements to provide jobs is another "take and (hopefully) make" equation. What about tax "loopholes" for the wealthy?Are our children "takers"? And our houses of worship? How about those truly in need?Don't tell me America is broke. America is rich! But if we turned our backs on those now in need, would that make us richer -- or more impoverished in our national soul?-- David Perkins, Fort WorthThe able should workIt's my impression that regardless of their contribution to society, too many people in this country feel entitled to some type of help from the government.It bothers me when I see minority groups' leaders fight for benefits in the shape of free rides for "their" people, the takers. How about using their resources to prepare them to become independent and productive citizens, the makers?If we were all created equal and expect to be treated as such, then all able people should be expected to honestly make positive contributions to society -- to work. Any assistance from the government should be on a temporary basis, not a way of life for generations.It is sad to see how the Third World rhetoric of "poor" against "rich" has dominated the political playground of what used to be an American dream reached by working hard. It is about time to reduce entitlements.-- Yipsi Flores de Schulz, Fort WorthWe're all takersThe problem isn't takers versus makers. The problem is that we've all been turned into takers.Collectivists truly believe we should all be dependent on each other. They want us all caught in an interlocking web of dependency so it will be in everyone's interest for it to continue.They've succeeded brilliantly: public schools, colleges, hospitals; Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, unemployment insurance; tax deductions and credits; unnecessary military spending; business subsidies and credits -- we all wind up takers.More brilliant still, by running a deficit, government can appear to give back more than it takes -- even at state and local levels, which nominally operate on balanced budgets but receive much of their money from the deficit-running federal government.We know it's unsustainable, but no one wants to jump off the gravy train while everyone else remains on it. So we hurtle to our doom.-- George Michael Sherry, Fort WorthGet government outAnyone managing a household or a business knows that balancing a budget is essential in determining what can be spent. Since our government has rarely accomplished this, it likely will continue.Social Security is not an entitlement because participants earned it. Medicare and welfare are wonderful and beneficial entitlements but are mismanaged by a non-business entity that has no interest in efficiency.No one wants their income or entitlements reduced, but a country in trouble cannot recuperate unless all involved "fess-up," "bite the bullet" and endure whatever is necessary to realize financial stability.The corruption within Social Security, welfare and Medicare is known to be catastrophic. If the corruption is eliminated or if our government would get out of the welfare business and gradually turn it over to society where it belongs, then our nation would stand a strong chance of survival.-- Grady Fuller, KennedaleAllow local controlThere are two problems. First, centralized federal control is much inferior to local control. Locals have personal contact with recipients and know better who deserves welfare and who doesn't. Centralized controllers are too far away to be effective, and they enact rules that often weaken and/or don't apply to local control.Second, welfare weakens our country by weakening self-reliance and burdening those who do work. There are some people who very much need welfare. But there are also others who want a free ride, human nature being what it is.We used to rely mostly on ourselves, and that's when our country was stronger. But these days more people rely on the federal government. Government people are no smarter than the general public and further from the problems, so federal welfare is a recipe for disaster.At least put it under local control.-- Curt Lampkin, AzleThe ruling classThe problem is not so much the "takers" and "makers" in the United States. The problem is the givers! Members of Congress and the president, the ruling class, are not held accountable by the people they represent.Until lawmakers are held accountable for their action or inaction, it will be more of the same. People in Washington, D.C., do what is good for them politically and good for their party, seldom what is good for the United States of America.-- Rick Irving, Fort WorthCut defense, loopholesCitizens have become too lax in petitioning their government, especially when it comes to spending. They have been allowing the tail to wag the dog.Medicare and Social Security should not even be in the debate as they are funded separately. Defense can be cut. The U.S. spends 41 percent of its budget on defense, which is more than China, Russia, England, France and 10 other countries combined.Besides defense, Congress should be cutting out the loopholes that allow American corporations to pay zero income taxes.-- Ed Lindsay, Fort Worth1 percent propagandaBig money's propaganda machine has done an exemplary job of defining entitlements as Social Security, Medicare and any other social welfare program. But how about "deferred compensation," carried interest, capital gains and myriad other tax credits and deductions not available to the vast majority of Americans?Their constant pressure on Congress to preserve their entitlements puts them in the position of being the ultimate "takers" in our society.The top 1 percent will never apply for Social Security, but the army of subordinates required to maintain their lavish lifestyles will. So I question why this group is so selfish as to spend millions of dollars annually demonizing programs that keep Americans from abject poverty and despair.A Pulitzer Prize is waiting for the person who can explain why so many Americans have bought into the 1 percent's propaganda at their own personal expense.-- Tom Smusz, BrockSensible solutionsThere are common-sense solutions to our long-term debt and deficit problems.First, our military-industrial complex in this country is bloated, the evidence of this is that our annual defense budget exceeds the defense expenditures of the next 20 industrialized nations combined. We need to pull back from areas which are no longer strategic to the national interests of the U.S.In regard to Medicare, we need to continue to target waste, fraud and abuse, limit access to those payees who have actually retired and do not have private insurance and continue to reduce overall healthcare system costs (the U.S. has the most expensive healthcare system, but is ranked 32nd in health outcome).Social Security is much simpler: By raising the income cap for FICA taxes we can make Social Security sustainable for the next generation and beyond.-- Dan Rogers, ArlingtonEliminate the capSeveral years ago, I learned that there was a cap on income for Social Security payroll taxes of $110,000. Any income over that is not taxed. Why not eliminate that cap? Obviously, people earning more than $110,000 would have less financial stress than those who don't.-- Carol Crosby, ArlingtonWe pay for abusersWhy in the world would the Obama administration want to cut spending for Social Security and/or Medicare benefits? Most of the people on Social Security and/or Medicare have already paid their dues into the system via payroll deductions.The government needs to take a closer look into the welfare and disability programs. I've heard people say they would rather receive disability income than actually work. This is ridiculous!In addition, I think people should be a little more careful about reproduction resulting in having more children than they can take care of properly. Some rely on the government to pay their way. I think we've all seen this.We all pay when a few abuse the system, and there are many who do. This present administration is broken and needs to be fixed right away.-- Patricia Adkins, Euless

Pressure and a Downfall
My mom has always put pressure on me to get the best grades possible, her philosophy always was, "If you get a 75, strive for an 85, if you get an 85, strive for a 95, and if you get a 95 aim beyond a 100." Yes, it is a bit much, if not a lot. I became depressed because of this as a sophomore in high school. I attempted to commit suicide because I was only seen as the smart girl in front of everyone's eyes.
This affected me a lot. I am stronger now, though, and fighting my demons everyday. It's better now. I don't have to rely on antidepressants. However, the ambition my mother had is now embedded in me.
If I know I am capable of doing better then it bothers me to just deliver something mediocre, especially if it is delivered out of pure laziness.

Tumblr: The Beginning, The Journey, and The Philosophy
I started my Tumblr in August out of pure curiosity. I was also fed up with Facebook and many of the boring, attention seeking, or desperate "friends" I had on it. I wanted a place where I could be myself and create somewhat of an alter ego.
My philosophy about my Tumblr has always been and will always be, that it is an extension of my personality. Everything that you see on my Tumblr is a part of me: the pictures, the music, the background, my banner, the text, even the promotions. They all say something about who I am. It all gives you a scope as to who Tamar is.
I'm not sure what impressions my followers get about my Tumblr, but I do know who I am and who I want to be. I use my Tumblr to reflect my personality and also as a documentation. I have an end goal for myself when it comes to my personality. I seek to emulate the characteristics I find fascinating others. I want to make it a part of me. The documentation is simply a way for me to see and keep track of my goal.
If you've managed to read all of this, thank you.

I used this pair the other day, angels on bare skin moisturized my face and mask of magnaminty tightened it right up. So refreshing!

Gallup has just completed its annual environmental audit and the polling organization found that 31 percent of adults surveyed said they worried a great deal about the quality of the environment, the lowest level since Gallup began asking about the issue in 2001. In the poll, just 24 percent said they worried a great deal about climate change. The top worry in the poll was the economy, with 59 percent. In another question in the survey, 42 percent said global warming was exaggerated in the news.

There are so many various kinds of tooth brushes around, yet if you intend to purchase the most effective then I suggest Oral B. Oral B (the brand) has actually been around since the 1950's. The Oral B brush was really designed by a dental practitioner out of California. The dental expert developed the Oral B brush with his individuals in mind and that is why the Oral B brand removed and blew up.
The Oral B toothbrush is not the only product under the line. Besides the Oral B tooth brush, there is dental floss, mouth wash, water selections, and also pretty much anything else you could think of that you would certainly think of for your mouth relating to dental care. I really am so keen on the Oral B toothbrush, that the only toothbrush I buy is in truth the Oral B brand. They are the perfect mix of what perfection requires. They have strong bristles, but not also solid where it harms your gums. The tooth brush additionally has a wonderful grip at the end for an easy and comfortable cleaning session.
Since the 1950's when the initial Oral B tooth brushes made the scene, they have actually enhanced profoundly. I suggest just look at how far innovation has actually can be found in all facets of our lives, and now we even have digital Oral B tooth brushes. The electronic Oral B toothbrushes, which are similar to any type of digital tooth brushes, on the market, often be a lot more costly compared to your common brush, as a result of the use period. You view, a typical tooth brush for a couple of bucks will normally last you 6 months or much less. 6 months is the recommended throw away duration by the majority of dental professionals, but the digital ones can last a lifetime as long as you switch out the heads. Typically the whole bundle is around $ONE HUNDRED-$200 bucks and then concerning $30 dollars for the heads to be switched. The nice aspect of the electronic tooth brushes is that they brush your teeth at a faster pace compared to a human's rate. Additionally, the heads are slightly slanted to obtain into the tiny grooves in between each tooth which makes a more reliable work. Plus the user is doing much less work by letting the electric battery operated device do it.
With Christmas simply around the corner I would extremely suggest buying one of these tooth brushes. You can not go wrong with an existing when you recognize it works to almost consumer around. The faster, yet efficient, type of brushing your teeth is a should have this period. Also, if you are a little crunched on a cash money as a result of the holiday spending, yet you yourself intend to buy one, I would suggest saving up for it. The factor I am so determined regarding these toothbrushes, is considering that your hygiene and also health and wellness go hand in hand, as well as when your health is on the line it ought to be no doubt regarding which opportunity to take. You should constantly deal with on your own to stop health issues and also illness that may arise from absence of treatment.

Bears: Is There Anything They Can't Do?
Should we look to bears for the answer to our growing obesity crisis? Normally I would say yes, but given what I know about how we work the odds are we will be looking to the bears on our giant flatscreen TVs nestled in the comfy repose of our couches as we graze on the Dominos Artisan™ Chicken & Bacon Carbonara Pizza we have had delivered to our door, so it probably won't make much of a difference.

Rehome a pet
Can you offer a home to an animal in our care?
The Isle of Wight branch of the RSPCA is a separately registered charity and is one of 164 charities that support's the local work of the RSPCA.
We provide care and assistance to the animals on the island that require our help. We also promote responsible animal ownership through local campaigns such as microchipping and neutering.
Our branch is run by an elected group of volunteers which make up our committee and we are responsible for raising money to support our animal welfare work. This is done through our charity shops,fundraising events, legacies and donations.
The RSPCA, Isle of Wight Branch admits a large number of stray cats each year, but this year it seems that numbers are on the increase. Over the last couple of months we have had an influx of pregnant stray cats arriving or stray female cats with litters of kittens.
To help prevent any more kittens being born please contact our Centre. We can offer financial assistance to the value of £30.00 to help neuter your female cat - please contact us Tel 01983 840287.
Please read on to understand the importance of neutering. Male & female cats are capable of breeding from as young as 4/5 months of age and are also not worried about impregnating their siblings
It's good to neuter for Behaviour, Health & Money. Neutering has many benefits - please do consider the following
Un-neutered tomcats are noisy at night – often for hours on end. They will stray from home, sometimes for days at a time whilst tracking females in season. They are more likely to get lost, be involved in a road traffic or get into fights. Such fights result in cats getting wounds, abscesses and serious illness.
Males spray their territory with very smelly urine – neutering will make them do this less and reduce the smell.
Females – un-neutered cats are bound to get pregnant – a female cat as young as four months old can become pregnant. Cats can have up to 18 unplanned kittens a year in three litters. Pregnancy can sometimes cause health risks to your cat. Stray female cats can give birth in inappropriate places such as sheds and outhouses which can cause difficulties for the kittens.
Male cats injured in fights often need expensive veterinary treatment.
Your cat could get FIV – a disease similar to HIV in people. It is spread through cat bites, often from male cats fighting over a female cat.
As a charity, we regularly have kind and thoughtful donations of dog and cat food brought into the Branch. We are always very grateful for any food donations but on occassions, supply can sometimes exceed demand.
We sometimes have trouble using certain types of food before the use-by date. We also find the we have certain brands and supermarket's own foods donated faster than our dogs and cats can get through it!
We have decided to find a use for our excess pet food by starting a "Pet Food Bank" - providing pet food to members of the public who are experiencing short-term financial difficulties or other hardships that are making it difficult to afford to keep and feed their beloved pets. A small donation of whatever is affordable will be appreciated for any food taken.
Pet food can be picked up from our Branch at Godshill. Please ring in advance for a chat about your circumstances and your pet's needs. Tel 01983 840287.
Our Animal Centre has three large kennel blocks and two purpose built catteries amongst many other facilities for looking after and caring for all types of pets and wildlife.
Two of these buildings have been set aside to create completely independent boarding facilities.
Every animal staying with us has it's own living/sleeping space, which is heated in the winter, and it's own personal "outside" area.
A large grass exercise field adjacent to the kennels, gives the dogs a chance to play, run and generally let off steam, while the cats enjoy their split level outdoor space where they can sit and watch all that goes on in the centre.
If you need to board your pet then please do consider us at Bohemia Boarding and we assure you, our fully trained and experienced staff will make sure your pet has a wonderful time while staying with us. Viewings welcome in advance of your pets stay.
All funds raised from Bohemia Boarding go directly to the RSPCA Centre, enabling us to continue to rescue, care for and rehome animals on the Isle of Wight.
There is a national problem with rehoming cats of this colour and at any one time around 70 per cent of the cats in our care will be either black or black-and-white
There are a number of reasons for this, such as
• black cats are harder to 'tell apart' than cats with more distinctive markings, so they tend to be overlooked
• black animals tend not to photograph as well as other markings – so people may not notice them on a rehoming website
•there still is some superstitions around black cats, which could have a knock on effect.
We are genuinely puzzled as to why this still happens, but we would urge people to never judge a cat by its colour but instead look at its personality first.
Black cats, are absolutely beautiful and while they may not always take the best photos they are all gorgeous to us! Don't miss out on the affection that black cats bring
Please do come out to our RSPCA Centre to see for yourself how beautiful black cats are. Look beyond the coat, and black cats have all the charm, and charisma of their more colourful cousins. Not to mention their sleek glossy dark coats which complement their bright shining eyes, each one an individual. Black cats are just as wonderful as any other, with exactly the same needs - love and care, in a home of their own. If you enjoy the company of cats whatever their colour, please consider adopting a black cat.
One thing is certain, those who have looked 'beyond the coat' and adopted a black cat, consider themselves extremely lucky indeed!
Adopting a black cat may be lucky for you ... and it's definitely lucky for them!
AMAZON WISHLIST -We're fortunate enough to have a lot of lovely supporters who donate food, toys, bedding and other items for use here at the branch, which is always gratefully received. Sometimes we are asked what items we use regularly ...and which types of feed we get through most of... so we've set up an Amazon wishlist! If any of you would be kind enough to donate a little something, there's a lot of stuff on here that we'd really appreciate. You can order items through Amazon and they will be sent straight out to us, easy-peasy
BLANKET APPEAL - We are desperate for old and unwanted towels at the moment! Does anybody have any they might like to donate? We use them for lots of different purposes - Bedding, lining carrying boxes, drying the dogs after a good bath and as shown in the... photo, we also roll them up and use them as cosy nests for orphaned birds. If you have a few that are going to waste, please consider donating them to us - They can be dropped of at the Branch or at any of our charity shops (please stick a label on indicating they are for the animals).

February in Zurich… spring came early
colourful pretty terrace
another sunset
a bike and a sunset in a park in Chisinau…finally we had some sun, felt like there was no sun for ages….
The Groninger Museum is a museum of modern and contemporary art in Groningen, Netherlands.
Amsterdam, July 2008
street art in Chisinau
on the (narrow) streets of Zurich
once upon a time…a night in Amsterdam
8000 cyclists!
a wonderful video from the Velohora event that I also described a bit HERE
a different Chisinau (and Moldova, too)
p.s.: the happening is organized & sponsored by a company. well, by one of its subdivisions/brands - Gura Cainarului mineral water)
Source: youtube.com
i have so many pictures that i still want to share… here is one from Porto, Portugal (behind the hyperlink - some other pictures from Portugal that I've previously shared).
a sunny September Sunday in Chisinau
yesterday, Sunday, was a good day, for several reasons:
1. I got out of the house after almost 3 days of isolation, of physical and moral suffering. why the suffering? got braces. yes, at my age of 29. and yes, I know nobody cares, but I just like to publically pity myself :))
2. the weather in Chisinau (and Moldova generally) was great, sunny, but not too hot. we are having a late kind of summer now and it's wonderful.
3. a great event took place in Chisinau - "Velohora" or, translated, "The Bikes' Dance". It's more than an event, it's a holiday, I would say, even if I'm not really biking and I didn't really participate… but for Chisinau these pictures are amazing
they say there were more than 8000 people on bikes and they biked around 20 km. i was lazy enough to not wake up in the morning and see this happening :( but i went to the city center in the afternoon…and there was still this celebration feeling
but the main reason of me being there - the concerts (as part of the bike event) of my ex-colleagues: Cuibul and Zdob si Zdub, in the main square of the city. a friend also joined and we danced with lust :)) just in front of the stage.
here's one of Zdob si Zdub's songs that i like - Cucusor.
then lay a bit in hay (for a couple of pictures, not longer :)) ), in the middle of the square
then the friend and I met another friend and had a nice coffee drink.
4. and again 'then', ended up at the closing night of the Ethno Jazz Festival that took place last week in Chisinau. my camera was already too lazy to take ok pictures
musicians from Romania, India, Germany, Italy, Senegal, Brasil. was fun.
many good people, beautiful events. i like this kind of Sundays too.

Cautionary featureBy Andy Bais

Its recent feature on water was an eye-opener, especially at a time when we're experiencing water shortage. It encouraged us to be responsible in the way we consume water.

Oscar Pistorius was sentenced Tuesday to a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment for culpable homicide in the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, last year. He was also given a three-year sentence on a firearms charge, but it was suspended.
[Last update, posted at 4:32 a.m. ET]
Oscar Pistorius' sentencing underway for girlfriend's killing
(CNN) -- From a globally lauded athlete to convicted killer, Oscar Pistorius' fall from grace will culminate with his sentencing Tuesday.
The Olympian will be sentenced for culpable homicide for the death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Culpable homicide in South Africa means a person was killed unintentionally, but unlawfully.
During his trial, the double-amputee sprinter often sobbed at the mention of his girlfriend's name. He insisted that he mistook his girlfriend for an intruder when he shot her through a toilet door on Valentine's Day 2013.
Opening the session Tuesday, Judge Thokozile Masipa emphasized that the decision on sentencing would be "mine and mine alone."
She pointed out that sentencing is not an exact science but relies on an assessment of elements including the nature and seriousness of the crime, the personal circumstances of the accused and the interests of society.
She must also take into account the factors in sentencing of retribution, deterrence and rehabilitation.
In any case, she said, "sentencing is about achieving the right balance."
Masipa then began to outline the arguments given by defense witnesses at the sentencing hearing last week.
Pistorius' defense has called for a sentence of house arrest and community service, rather than the prison term demanded by the prosecution.
No 'insurmountable challenge'
In her final remarks, Masipa dismissed evidence given by probation officer Annette Vergeer that prison would not be able to accommodate Pistorius' disability, saying her testimony was outdated and sketchy.
On the other hand, Masipa said, the testimony from the acting national head of corrections was much more reliable and indicated that the prison service could handle any inmate.
She said Pistorius would not present the prison system with an "insurmountable challenge."
The judge added that she felt Pistorius' vulnerability had been overstated in the evidence given and that his excellent coping strategies -- shown in his ability to compete with able-bodied atletes -- had been overlooked.
He would be able to continue treatment for physical problems and mental health issues while in prison, she said.
In terms of the seriousness of the offense, Masipa said Pistorius had shown gross negligence in shooting into a small toilet cubicle, knowing there was someone inside who could not escape. He also knew how to handle firearms, she said, adding that these were "very aggravating" factors.
On the other hand, mitigating factors include that Pistorius is a first offender and remorseful, Masipa said. She also mentioned his contribution to society in giving his time and money to charities and inspiring others with disabilities to believe they could succeed.
Masipa indicated that whatever sentence she handed down would not be impacted by Pistorius' fame.
"It would be a sad day for this country if the impression was to be created that there was one law for the poor and disadvantaged and another for the rich and famous," she said.
The judge also highlighted the loss suffered by Steenkamp's family, which has had a negative impact on her father's health.
Steenkamp was young, vivacious and full of life at the time of her death, she said.
"The loss of life cannot be reversed. Nothing I say or do today can reverse what happened," she said.
'Sweetest human being'
Steenkamp, 29, was a law school graduate who turned to modeling in recent years.
"She was the kindest, sweetest human being, an angel on earth," said her agency, Capacity Relations.
Pistorius, 27, made history when he became the first Paralympian to compete in the able-bodied Olympics in 2012. He was born without the fibulae in his legs, which were amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old.
At the London Olympics, he ran on special carbon fiber blades that earned him the nickname "Blade Runner." Even though he didn't medal, he became an inspiration to the disabled and a national hero in South Africa.
Pistorius talked about his fame as a role model before the shooting.
"Obviously, being an international sportsman, there's a lot of responsibility that comes with that," he told CNN. "So having to remember that there are kids out there, especially, that look up to you is definitely something that you need to keep at the back of your mind."
No minimum sentence
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel has called for a minimum prison sentence of 10 years for Pistorius.
"This is a serious matter," Nel said at the end of the arguments over sentencing. "The negligence borders on intent. Ten years is the minimum."
There is no legal minimum sentence for culpable homicide in South African law, so the decision will be up to the judge's discretion.
While the sentencing will bring a close to one chapter of the case, an appeal is possible.
Pistorius' siblings speak out
On the eve of Pistorius' sentencing, two of his biggest supporters -- his siblings -- told CNN's Robyn Curnow that the lives of everyone close to the trial have already been changed forever, no matter the outcome.
"No one who's been close to the situation can just overcome it," Aimee Pistorius said. "It's something my brother will carry with him forever and ... regardless of what's happening now it's just a certain phase in a journey that will never end."
As the defense attorneys have argued, she said there is no reason to doubt that her brother believed an intruder was in the bathroom who posed a risk to him and Steenkamp when he fired shots through the toilet door.
Aimee Pistorius said she was shocked when she first heard about the fatal shooting.
"But also knowing my brother -- his insecurities, who he is -- the very first thing that came to my mind is that it could have only been a mistaken identity for an intruder and that's because I know my brother and I know his fears," she said.
"It's never going to be over," Aimee Pistorius said. "Something like this changes my brother's life, our lives, the Steenkamps', their family, their friends."
The trial was beset by drama at times, and the most difficult thing for the Pistorius siblings in watching it unfold is the sense of loss.
"That is a heart-wrenching pain, having lost our mother at a young age -- it is an anguish that you feel when you know that someone else is going through deep, deep pain," Carl Pistorius said.
Whatever the court decides, public opinion has been harsh on Oscar Pistorius, which both siblings said had affected them.
There have even been reports of threats by gang leaders in prison against Oscar Pistorius that have the family worried.
Steenkamp's father: 'Only he knows'
Steenkamp's parents are skeptical about the man who killed their daughter.
"If he's telling the truth, I may forgive him one day," father Barry Steenkamp told the Afrikaans-language newspaper Beeld.
But ''if it didn't happen as he described it, he should suffer. And he will suffer ... only he knows."

Dana Gas PJSC, the Middle East's first and largest regional private-sector natural gas company, and Crescent Petroleum, the Region's oldest private exploration and production company, are pleased to announce strategic partnership agreements with OMV, Austria's largest listed industrial company and a leading Central European integrated oil and gas group, and MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas Company, Hungary's largest listed company and also a leading Central European integrated oil and gas group, which is set to transform the prospects for Iraq's gas industry to become a major and secure gas supplier to local, regional and European markets.Signed at the Companies' head offices in Sharjah, UAE, by and between Badr Jafar, Executive Director of Crescent Petroleum, Rashid Jarwan, Executive Director of Dana Gas, Helmut Langanger, OMV Executive Board member responsible for Exploration and Production and Zoltan Aldott, Executive Vice President of MOL, the groundbreaking partnership is based upon OMV becoming a 10% shareholder in Pearl Petroleum, the company which holds Crescent Petroleum and Dana Gas' upstream interests in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, in return for a payment of 350 million US dollars, which in turn will be re-invested in the development of the project; and with MOL based upon around reciprocal shareholdings of their respective companies: MOL will become a 10% shareholder in Pearl Petroleum and Crescent Petroleum and Dana Gas will each become 3% shareholders in MOL, listed on the Budapest, Luxembourg and Warsaw Stock Exchanges. This arrangement unites the Middle East's leading independent E&P companies with two of Europe's most dynamic integrated oil and gas companies and the original architects of the Nabucco gas pipeline project.These partnership agreements between the companies represents a significant vote of confidence in the investment policies and climate of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq and illustrates the companies' strong belief in the growth potential of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq's natural gas assets to develop into one of the most significant gas export projects in the region within the next few years. In due course, this will establish Iraq as one of the region's major gas exporters, once local requirements have been met.Over the past two years Crescent Petroleum and Dana Gas have jointly invested 605 million US dollars in the successful fast-track development of the Khor Mor gas field and a local natural gas network, including construction of a 176km natural gas transmission pipeline in record time, efficiently enabling local gas-fired power generation plants to provide secure electricity supplies to over 4 million Iraqis, and reduce local oil consumption expenditure which in turn has led to savings in governmental fuel costs of approximately 2 billion US dollars per year. The project partners will now push forward with substantial new investments in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq estimated to be in the order of 8 billion US dollars to further develop the companies' assets, and facilitate the provision of gas for increased Iraqi power generation capacity and encouragement of local Iraqi industry as a priority, and facilitating the subsequent exports of surplus natural gas into neighbouring countries, including Turkey and beyond into Europe, benefitting local, regional and European economies.Badr Jafar, Executive Director of Crescent Petroleum stated "Our joint project in the Kurdistan Region now has the full potential of linking the Region's significant gas reserves to Europe by pipe for the first time, after satisfying all local requirements of course. This will create very material investments in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in the coming years, with significant employment opportunities and ancillary benefits for all of Iraq and Iraqis, and for the entire region."Zoltá'e1n Á'c1ldott, Exploration and Production Executive Vice President of MOL commented, "We are proud to enter into this ground-breaking partnership, which evidences our confidence and commitment to the policies and potential in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Today's agreement combines the strengths of two leading Middle East energy companies with two leading central European energy companies, and is the first step in jointly pursuing our combined objectives and achieving major economic benefits for both regions. Through this strategic co-operation MOL strengthens the realization of the Nabucco project aimed to increase European gas supply security and complements its strong Central European gas midstream position to significant upstream natural gas sources. We very much welcome our two new strategic shareholders from the Middle East, who will support our business activities further with their extensive business relationships and profound oil and gas business knowledge to create further shareholder value in line with our strategy."Helmut Langanger, OMV Executive Vice President responsible for Exploration and Production stated: "OMV is very pleased to announce a long-term partnership between OMV, MOL, Crescent Petroleum and Dana Gas in this project. OMV now has the rare opportunity to participate in the appraisal, development and production of very large gas reserves close to the European market which has significant potential to serve as feedstock for the Nabucco pipeline. This transaction will significantly enhance OMV's position within the Middle East especially as OMV sees the Kurdistan Region of Iraq as an important area for growth."Rashid Al-Jarwan, Executive Director of Dana Gas commented "Dana Gas and its partner Crescent Petroleum greatly look forward to these strategic partnerships with OMV and MOL, and of being constructive core shareholders in MOL. We are very pleased to have demonstrated that constructive reciprocal shareholdings such as these can cement co-operation in world-class private sector-led integrated energy projects, with a positive global impact."The announced partnership adds the final necessary component to fully realise the future export potential of this world-class energy project by creating a vertically integrated gas partnership from upstream, to midstream and to final gas markets based on the pooled, complementary strengths of the project partners. Both OMV and MOL are each 16.67% shareholders in the Nabucco project and the original architects of this major natural gas supply scheme. Some of these other key ingredients include:• Significant gas reserve potential confirmed in the company's assets, which can fulfil local and regional, including Turkish, gas requirements as well as substantial gas exports to Europe.• Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum's proven local and regional expertise in developing all the necessary project facilities and infrastructure in record time.• Increasingly positive relationships developing with neighbouring Turkey, which is an important gas market and an energy corridor into Europe.• The companies' gas project in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq is currently producing 90 million standard cubic feet per day of gas with associated condensate and LPG's, and has potential for producing over 3 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day including substantial volumes of associated liquids by around 2014.Backgound1. In April 2007 Crescent Petroleum and Dana Gas signed long-term agreements and a Strategic Alliance Protocol with the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq, to appraise, develop, process and transport natural gas from the Khor Mor Gas Field, and also to concurrently appraise the potential of the Chemchemal Gas Field for development, as part of a strategy to advance regional economic benefits through development of the region's substantial gas resources. Khor Mor and Chemchemal are major gas fields in northern Iraq.2. Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum have invested 605 million US Dollars to date in the project, and are currently supplying some 90 million standard cubic feet per day to local power plants, with production and processing capacity on track to increase step-wise to 300 million standard cubic feet per day by the end of 2009.3. Pearl Petroleum is the company which holds legal title to the upstream interests of both Crescent Petroleum and Dana Gas. Prior to the announcement of the above deal with OMV and MOL, Pearl Petroleum was owned 50% by Crescent Petroleum and 50% by Dana Gas. Following the deal, the shareholding of Pearl Petroleum will be as follows: 40% Dana Gas, 40% Crescent Petroleum, 10% OMV and 10% MOL.4. The Nabucco project is a project linking Middle East and Caspian natural gas sources to Europe through a new gas transmission pipeline. The project is currently planned to have final capacity of about 3 billion cubic feet of gas per day, with completion of the first 1.5 billion cubic feet per day capacity phase around 2015. The shareholders in the Nabucco project, each with a 16.67% stake, are Austria's OMV, Hungary's MOL, Bulgaria's Bulgargaz, Romania's Transgaz, Turkey's BOTA, and Germany's RWE.

Our goal with Tripbod has always been the same: work together to put great local people, with their expert knowledge and passion for the destination, back at the heart of the travel lifecycle.
Over the past 18 months we have made great strides in partnership with companies like lastminute.com, citizenM hotels and Skyscanner in achieving this; but when TripAdvisor expressed an interest in bringing our community, team and product into their ecosystem, we knew this was the way to go. What better way to achieve our mission than with the travel brand that gave power back to the people?!
As part of the biggest travel website in the world we are excited to continue building on the foundations we have laid and achieve the impact we have aimed for since the beginning.
Tripbod's founder, Sally, says: "I remember in the earliest days of the Company someone said to me 'I can just imagine TripAdvisor buying Tripbod some day'. I agreed at the time it would be the perfect fit for us, as a Company, a team and, most importantly, a Community. The fact it has now happened is a bit of a dream come true. What we have achieved with Tripbod aligns perfectly with TripAdvisor's mission, so we expect very exciting times ahead.
For us community has always come first - something else that aligns with TripAdvisor - and we exist to serve the Tripbods. We are so incredibly proud of what we have built together and this acquisition is the ultimate reflection on that. We knew there would always be a point at which we could not take Tripbod further as a lean, organic and feisty startup, and we had some big decisions to make on that front. Then this opportunity arose and the timing could not be more perfect.
Our team will become part of the TripAdvisor office based in London's Soho Square, so we'll look forward to organising many more Tripbod meetups - in London and across the globe - over the coming months. In the meantime, please keep in touch and we really look forward to working together to reach even greater heights in the chapters ahead.
The Tripbod Team.

The five bad traits of a touristThe five bad traits of a tourist
Being a tourist is fun, but we can often forget that while we are on a holiday, the locals aren't. Here are some of the bad habits that we may accidently do when travelling abroad!
Stopping in the middle of the busy pedestrian path
Flickr/ Georgie Pauwels
One of the biggest stresses in fast paced cities like London and New York for commuters is getting from A to B through extremely crowded pedestrian paths. Unfortunately tourists can add an extra level of difficulty to this game, by becoming an obstacle. Frequently checking their maps or taking a snap of an interesting landmark is ok, but directly doing it dead in the middle of the pathway creates a bottle neck style pileup.
Nepalese cuisine, taste the food of the HimalayasNepalese cuisine, taste the food of the Himalayas
Nepalese cuisine is like the country, varied and diverse drawing on the various climates and ethnicities of the area. Influences also come from the periphery with Indian, Chinese and (especially) Tibetan aliments and spices all making their way into the cooking pots of the Nepalese kitchen.

There is more to Siem Reap than temples and Pub Street. Early one morning, Barry and I cycled out to Angkor Archaeological Park, but not to visit Angkor Wat. Flight of the Gibbon, Angkor is Treetop Asia's first zip line project outside of Thailand. It is in a hidden, forested area near Ta Keo Temple. It's particularly popular with families (I can see why children and teenagers might need some thrills to go with the ancient carvings), and Barry and I got to experience it for ourselves.

Imagine a day where everyone drops their work and students get a school day off to throw water at each other. As crazy as it sounds, Songkran festivals set in Thailand do just that every April 13-15th (it used to be based on astrological timing but is now a fixed date).
On one of the hottest days of the year people grab buckets, water pistols and hoses to drench each other on the streets of Thailand.

Surabaya, the 'city of heroes'Surabaya, the 'city of heroes'
I arrived in Surabaya 25 years ago. I was told that it was a city of absolutely nothing to see or do. I think I saw that as a challenge. And I proved them wrong.
Most have never heard of Surabaya - surprising, considering it is Indonesia's second largest city, and one of the largest in Southeast Asia. It's ancient, too, with historical records showing that it existed at least as far back as the early 1200s. An important seaport and commercial center during the Dutch colonial era, it continues to be a bustling place of business. To Indonesians it is known as "the city of heroes" because it was here in 1945 that they first began to fight for their independence from their Dutch rulers.

Chad Ford and John Hollinger have released their latest Future Power Rankings, and the Pistons fell from No. 22 to No. 25:
The hard times that have befallen the city of Detroit continue to hammer the Pistons' front door as they continue to slide in our rankings. The days of hardcore fans filling the Palace are gone. The Bad Boys are taking on a completely different (and unwanted) connotation. Given yet another rough start to the season, it's pretty hard to be confident in the future of the franchise.
The team is still up for sale, with no clear resolution coming anytime soon. The team lacks a legitimate star. They're bogged down by bad contracts on their books for the next few seasons. And the roster lacks any proven long-term options in the middle.
The two bright spots for the Pistons have been Rodney Stuckey, who is having the best season of his young career, and rookie Greg Monroe, who has shown a few glimmers of progress after a very slow start.
But there isn't much help on the way for the young duo, as Joe Dumars' hands are tied a bit until the team is sold. If the Pistons are going to do anything in the next few years, they'll need to get Richard Hamilton off the books, make a trade-deadline deal that gives them value for Tayshaun Prince and develop a couple of their prospects. That's a lot of ifs for a team that was a lock to play deep into the playoffs for the past decade.

Bruins end losing streak
|02.07.10 at 5:50 pm ET
Marco Sturm had two goals, Adam McQuaid scored his first NHL goal and Tuukka Rask made 36 saves as the Bruins ended a ten-game losing streak with a 3-0 win in Montreal Sunday. Patrice Bergeron had two assists for the Bruins, who won for the first time since taking a 2-1 shootout win in San Jose on Jan. 14.
After McQuaid gave the Bruins the lead with 2:28 left in the opening period, Sturm pushed the B's to a 2-0 advantage with just four seconds left in the first. He added an insurance goal midway though the third period. Center David Krejci was injured in the first period and did not return.
Three Stars
1. Tuukka Rask
Never let the Canadiens grab any momentum.
2. Marco Sturm
Scores twice to provide the Bruins a lead they would not relinquish.
3. Marc Savard
Sharp pass to set up McQuaid's goal while skating with jump all over the ice.
Turning Point
With the clock winding down in the first period Sturm jumps on a rebound of a Zdeno Chara shot whisking it past Jaroslav Halak for a 2-0 Bruins advantage.
Key Play
As the Canadiens picked up their attack in the third period, Sturm beats Halak to put things out of reach.

I have to ask this. Why do people get so worked up about a jersey number? Why not wear whatever number they give you and make it great. Why the hang up on what you are going to wear when you have not put a toe on an NFL field?
Cool, I'm pretty sure I have a 90s number 7 jersey with no name on the back.
I think the #7 shirt will be lucky this time . Got enough of them in the closet.
He should wear #6. It'll be available.
In his first picture hes posted as a Jet he wrote he was wearing #7.
But you're right we should totally wait until a reliable source like Cimini tells us.
I can dig #7. I wonder what # Milliner will get
I liked the idea of #2 (leaving #1 for Namath 12)
or #4 to sell some name plates... Smith covers Favre
KennyO's #7 should have been retired along time ago. This is a slap to one of the franchise's greatest QBs ever.

So I'm posting this two months late, but it's better late than never, right? This was my Purim costume which is basically like Halloween but we don't go trick or treating. I had no time to actually make a costume from scratch so I had to make do with stuff I had lying around the house, thankfully I have a weird wardrobe so this wasn't as difficult as this sounds.
The skirt is my Mystery Pocket Skirt
I had some fabric lying around and was inspired by a tie I saw on the internet so I decided to make it. I never actually wore this but it turned out perfect for my costume!
Last but not least, I made the hat especially for the occasion, it came out a little smushed but I'm proud at my first attempt at making the hat.
I was pretty impressed for a last minute costume!
For more photos and my inspiration check out my blog post!

Status: Constitutional amendment bans marriage equality.
On March 14, 2014, U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger ordered Tennessee state officials to recognize the out-of-state marriages of three same-sex couples. Judge Trauger did not stay her ruling, noting that the plaintiff couples would likely be victorious. The Sixth Circuit later stayed the ruling. The couples in Tanco v. Haslam are represented by the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Abby Rubenfeld, the law firm of Sherrard & Roe, Maureen Holland, and Regina Lambert. The case was argued on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on August 6th, alongside cases from Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky.

I loooooooooooooooooooove this color.
I bought 3 Pixi nail polishes off Haute Look for $2.00 each and I am so impressed! This color is No. 12 - Pink and it's a neon Barbie pink. It makes you look super tan. I only needed 2 thin coats and it dries really, really fast.
I also got No. 4- Palest Pink which is this nude pink. Looks really great on toes! I like nude, clean colors on my feet. I don't know what it is about my feet, but when I wear sandals in the summer, I always get them filthy. So I need all the help I can get to keep them cute.
And the last color I bought was No. 3 - White. I haven't used it yet but I'm hoping it'll be an inexpensive version of MAC's vestral white. This brand seems to be very pigmented so I'm happy!
