Last November, we debuted a Birchbox Home limited edition collection filled with entertaining essentials to help you throw a New Year's Eve fête or a cozy dinner party. This time around, we've put together a selection of lifestyle must-haves dedicated to spring and all its bounty.
From a foolproof herb-growing kit to yummy award-winning jams, this limited edition box is teeming with topnotch seasonal picks. There's a sturdy Baggu Market Shopping Bag to carry your fresh produce, an adorable radish-print utility knife for slicing the ingredients in your favorite spring recipes, and LAFCO's Little Luxuries Candle Tin to spruce up your living space.
Don't put off using your green thumb! Grab a Limited Edition: Farm to Table Box—which has an $89 value—for just $32 right now. If you've fallen in love with an individual item in the box, you can find separate products available for purchase in our new Home & Food category in the Birchbox shop.
Looking to grab our regular women's box? Click here to become a subscriber now.
Who says Valentine's Day has to be romantic? This year, we're feeling warm and gushy about all of our favorite things, starting with you—our customers. We created our latest limited edition box, the We Heart Collection, just for you. Consider it our version of a valentine—after all, what could be more adorable than a keepsake Birchbox stamped with miniature hearts? We'll take that over roses any day. Inside, you'll find a selection of all-time bestsellers, top-rated customer favorites, and editor picks.
Valentine's Day normally conjures up images of gourmet chocolates and long-stemmed roses, but this year I have my sights set on a different kind of gift: Smashbox's recently unveiled limited edition Love Me collection.
Yesterday, I got to ogle the new goodies and meet the man behind the makeup: renowned artist Curtis Kulig. In 1999, Kulig moved from North Dakota to New York City, picked up a can of spray paint, and began emblazoning the words "Love Me" on rooftops and billboards all over the city. He quickly gained a cult following, and now the tag can be seen on everything from Van's sneakers to Tokyo street signs.
Inspired by Kulig's signature aesthetic, the collection features bold colors and sleek, modern packaging. These are a few of our favorites from the line that's now available in select department stores and Sephoras:
Truffle salt, DIY kits, home fragrances, oh my!
I know you're probably overwhelmed by all the Cyber Monday deals in your inbox (I know I am), so I'm going to make it easy for you by suggesting one single gift that is good for just about everyone in your life: our Limited Edition Birchbox Home. Now, I know that not everyone is as obsessed with food and entertaining as I am. But I maintain that this box appeals to nearly everyone (OK, maybe not your "I only eat instant ramen" brother). Here's my reasoning:

There's nothing but excitement here at Birchbox HQ today! We've been so happy to share the news with you that we just launched our Home Pop-Up Shop and Limited Edition: Home box. From bamboo spatulas, to truffle salts, to funky cocktail napkins, the box filled with tons of fun entertaining-ready goodies.
Some of the items we're most excited about are the DIY projects contributed by Erica Domesek and the team at P.S.- I Made This… You can sneak a peek at all the projects, plus the easy-to-follow tutorials on how to make them, over the next five days in a series on our blog. The best part, though? We're giving you the chance to win a home box plus a P.S.- I Made This book! All you have to do is submit your most impressive DIY to our P.S. I Made This + Birchbox DIY Giveaway.
As always, we want to give our Birchbloggers the chance to share a little more. After you've entered a photo of your DIY into the contest, share your blog post that explains how you did the project. We'll choose our favorites and feature them here on the Birchbox blog. (Keep in mind: those projects don't have to be ones appearing on the blog—your DIY can be anything! Up-cycled Birchboxes, homemade gift wrap, crafty candles… anything!)
Send in your submissions to email@example.com by Sunday, December 2nd. We're looking forward to seeing all your brilliant creations!
Want to become a Birchblogger? Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to join the mailing list!
Our creative team is pretty, well, creative and they come across beautiful imagery, design, and so much more all the time. Once a week, they'll be sharing their latest inspirations—from pretty-hued wrapping paper to silly YouTube memes—so you can see the unexpected items that get them fired up.
1. A chicken timer from my co-worker, Kathleen.
2. Chicken timer illustrations that I pasted up all over the office.
3. The final product: recipe cards!
I love to cook, and I have a shameless obsession with cute kitchen goods—salt and pepper shakers, measuring cups, and yes, even chicken timers. That last adorable and quirky item was the inspiration behind the recipe cards included in our new Limited Edition: Home box. When I found out that I'd be creating the cards, I dove into making illustrated icons that reminded me of my favorite kitchen supplies—the staples and whimsical accessories that make cooking so much fun.
In need of a home box to call your own? Enter our P.S. - I Made This… DIY giveaway on Facebook!
When I think of my dream New York City apartment, I picture a light and airy penthouse loft with a king-size canopy bed and views of Central Park—oh, and a functional dishwasher and a shower drain that doesn't clog. While I'm still firmly entrenched in my IKEA days, that doesn't mean I can't get in touch with my Elle Decor side. That's why I'm so psyched to announce our new Home Pop-Up Shop, a curated collection of our favorite (affordable) kitchen gadgets, gourmet foods, room accessories, and more.
If you don't have time to browse our Pop-Up Shop, the easiest way to try some of these new goodies is to pick up our very first Limited Edition: Home box, which we designed with holiday entertaining in mind. It makes a great gift for a hostess or relative—I already snagged one for my mom and dad this morning—or you can use it as a dinner party toolkit. Click through to learn more about the goodies inside!
We can't wait to try Totally Teal and Pop of Purple on our peepers. (Photo: beautyhigh.com)
Maybelline's Great Lash is one of the best-selling mascaras of all time—meaning that there are a lot of serious devotees out there. And the brand's latest news will undoubtedly send the formula's addicts into a tizzy: Maybelline has just released four brightly-colored, gorgeous limited edition Great Lash mascaras. Run, don't walk, to the drugstore immediately.
After a brief hiatus due to rapid sell-out, our Gorgeous On the Go Limited Edition Box is finally back in the Birchbox Shop, and we couldn't wait to share the news.
The special edition box is here to ease your summer beauty woes—shininess, frizz, a need for serious SPF—and fit into your fast-paced lifestyle. Everything inside is sized for jet-setting, and each product has been hand-picked to help give you a 360-degree beauty upgrade. From nail polish to blotting sheets, we've got you covered.
Here's a peek at what you'll find inside:
Grab it now in the Birchbox Shop!
If your nuptials are coming soon, don't miss our Here Comes the Bride Box.
We've been busy bees here at Birchbox HQ gearing up for our new Here Comes the Bride Limited Edition Box. We designed this box as the perfect gift for all your engaged friends (or yourself) and we think it's pretty great ($140 worth of products for $55!). But don't take it from us — Martha Stewart herself has given our bride box the seal of approval.
Last week, our bridal box was featured on a special weddings episode of the Martha Stewart Show, and each lucky audience member received a box to take home. Whether you're sporting a rock on your finger or about to don a frilly bridesmaid's dress and matching shoes, we think our bridal boxes are an excellent gift. Each box comes with:
I want a bridal box for myself, and I'm not even getting married!
We've also added a special bridal mini-mag — find out how to get Kim Kardashian's glam goddess wedding look, master modern updos, and more.

It's a very good utility , but I have some enhancements if possible : a) automatic save of filters and options files (magic.ini and xxxxx.magic) b) the filters rules are in xxxx.magic in encoded form, not useful. It is very better to have all these filter rules (as "<FROM> includes 'some text') in a simple TEXT FILE ( a .TXT or .INI file) that is very very good for modify with a simple NOTEPAD ! c) Please add a "BEGIN with ..." in the possible rules for filter THANKS (from FRENCH user)
Thanks mmm3
mmm3 is fast and stable
good job
very good project
I've used MMM since I had Windows 95, and still just as useful today! Especially helpful if you have a number of different email accounts to watch. Thanks!
I hope soon would be a version for AMD64. it's a must have software.

Dr. Vandana Shiva, the internationally recognized scientist and activist will visit Vermont on November 2nd and 3rd for two public speaking engagements.

VPIRG granted permission to help defend GMO labeling law
October 8, 2014
VPIRG and its allies at the Center for Food Safety (CFS) have been granted permission by a federal judge to file legal briefs at every stage of the litigation over Vermont's new GMO labeling law.
VPIRG responds to legal motions and the State calls for court to dismiss GMO lawsuit
August 26, 2014
Since VPIRG and the Center for Food Safety (CFS) filed our motion to intervene last month we have seen a lot of action in the case to defend Vermont's GMO labeling law. In response to VPIRG and CFS's motion to intervene the state of Vermont has said that they do not oppose VPIRG's intervention in the case, and would support limited intervention by VPIRG and CFS. The Grocery Manufactures Association (GMA) and other plaintiffs responded by filing a motion opposing intervention by VPIRG and CFS, instead calling on the court to allow participation in a more limited role as "amicus curiae" or "friends of the court".…

VPIRG and Center for Food Safety Move to Defend Vermont GE Labeling Law
July 21, 2014
Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG) and Center for Food Safety (CFS) formally moved to defend Vermont's genetically engineered (GE) food labeling law, Act 120. The groups filed legal papers to intervene on behalf of the State of Vermont in order to assist in defending Act 120 from a legal challenge brought by the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and other food industry trade associations. They are represented jointly by counsel from CFS and Vermont Law School's Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic (ENRLC). Act 120 was signed into law on May 8, 2014. GMA, which represents the country's largest food manufacturers and has poured tens of millions of dollars into anti-labeling campaigns in other states, sued Vermont just over a month after the law was signed.

Your Right to Know is Under Attack
June 13, 2014
The Grocery Manufacturers Association and their allies are taking Vermont to court to stop our state from becoming the first in the nation to require labels on GMO foods. The lawsuit demands federal court to step in and prevent Vermont from implementing our popular GMO-labeling law.
"This is corporate bullying at its worst," said VPIRG Consumer Protection Advocate Falko Schilling. "Vermonters want to know what's in their food, and they have a right to know. Our elected leaders did the right thing in requiring GMO foods to be labeled."
VPIRG has been a leading advocate for GMO labeling in Vermont since the introduction of legislation in 2012.…

GMO Labeling Becomes Law!
May 9, 2014
May 8th was a great day in Montpelier! Governor Shumlin signed Vermont's GMO labeling bill into law making Vermont the first state that will require labels on genetically engineered foods.
The law will require labels on genetically engineered foods (also called genetically modified organisms, or GMOs) sold at retail outlets in Vermont, and will go in to effect on July 1st 2016. The law would also prohibit labeling products produced with genetic engineering as "natural", "100% natural" or "all natural".…
Vermont Passes GMO Labeling!
April 23, 2014
After years of hard work and dedicated action Vermont's GMO labeling Bill has passed both the House and Senate! Today members of the VT House of representatives voted 114 to 30 to concur with the Senate version of the bill and to pass H.112. This nation leading "no strings attached" GMO labeling policy now heads to Governor Shumlin's Desk for his signature.
Call Governor Shumlin today and urge Him to Sign H.112 into Law!
We are one small step away from ratifying the strongest GMO labeling bill in the United States.…

"Accountants high on the germy scale"? How could you. That's nothing short of racism. Yes, accountants are a race. Just think, once international accounting standards become universal and once the gullible world people buy into a global flat tax, we're there. Global hell.
I have a tip for teachers: My child came home from school saying that they learned to cough and sneeze into their elbow with Germy Wormie, and I was totally taken aback. I always covered with my hands. But I went to the website and now I get it, hands touch, elbows don't!! Kids can touch 300 surfaces in 1/2 hour and they hate to wash their hands. This is a simple thing that can make a huge difference. Also, there is a DVD the kids love, and it teaches them in a fun way other necessary hygiene habits, as well as the elbow cough.
Interesting article. But do more 'germs' mean less healthy people? In other words, teachers have ten times the bacterial counts as lawyers. But do they get ten times more sick? Or do they get sick more often at all? And what about long-term? Who actually has better health-outcomes, teachers or lawyers? Do we actually know?
Do teachers get sick 10 times more often than lawyers? Ask a new teacher! Better yet, ask a doctor who treats a lot of teachers. The answer is exactly what you think it is: YES! When I started teaching my doctor told me I would get every upper respiratory know to man and be sick continuously for about the first 3 years I taught and he was right on the money.
Hand sanitizer dispensers are becoming essential in classrooms, offices and even the home. A company called Terraboost is offering their sanitizer dispensers at no charge and is one of the few suppliers who still have stock right now. Visit http://www.Terraboost.com to find out more.
Yes, I work in a petre dish. I disinfect door handles, therapy materials, keyboards, table and desk tops. My young first and second grade students wash their hands after coming in from every recess. I teach them to scrape their nails across their soapy palms. I don't let them use the alcohol based hand sanitizers as many of them put their hands in their mouths. When they sneeze, I tell them to put their face into their shirt. That way each person keeps their own germs. Toileting??? Good golly, they get the picture when I mentioned that whatever they did in the bathroom, they'll be eating for lunch if they don't wash with soap and water. For years, I was sick with multiple sinus infections & taking antibiotics throughout the school year. Now I do regular warm saline nasal rinses and use Citricidal grapefruit seed extract nasal spray and tablets. This seems to create an environment that germs don't like. Last year…not one illness.

Book Description:
Teterboro Airport has been in continuous use since 1916 and was once the busiest airport in the country. In 1925, the Fokker Company opened an American subsidiary, the Atlantic Aircraft Corporation, and Teterboro-built Fokker trimotors dominated the industry for a decade. In the 1920s and 1930s, record-setting flights became a national obsession, and many of the flights originated or terminated at Teterboro Airport. In 1939, the Goodyear blimp Mayflower made daily sightseeing flights over the New York City world's fair. In 1952, television personality Arthur Godfrey buzzed the control tower while taking off in his DC-3. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey purchased the airport in 1949 and made major investments in airport infrastructure. Today the New Jersey Aviation Hall of Fame and Museum is located at the airport.

Tag: Gloria Crutchfield
Was Suncoast principal wrong to pay for teacher's funeral?
- 3:11 pm Thursday, March 8th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
Once again, a Suncoast High School principal has used school funds for a questionable purpose.
This time, Linda Cartlidge used nearly $12,000 to pay for the funeral of teacher John Slattery, who died suddenly on Feb. 15.
In a case of really bad timing, the withdrawal came just as a grand jury released a report that blasted the district's accounting habits, specifically account-juggling by former Principal Gloria Crutchfield to pay for band trips to London and Paris.
Band director Ernest Brown has been charged with fraud and official misconduct for allegedly using $15,000 to take family members on the Paris trip even [More]
Should Suncoast band director be fired?
- 4:52 pm Monday, November 15th, 2010 by Opinion Staff
Suncoast Band Director Ernest Brown is in trouble with the Palm Beach County school district for taking six family members, including his wife, a niece and nephew, on a band trip to Paris in 2008.
Taking his relatives along required about $15,000 in district cash. But that isn't the only problem.
The Paris trip and a previous band trip to London in 2007 together cost more than $107,000 in excess of what the band program raised to pay for the trips. Then-principal Gloria Crutchfield raided other school accounts to make up the difference.
Dr. Crutchfield also went along on the band trip to Paris, for free.

The One Show's Team Rickshaw 2014
Follow #TeamRickshaw's from Salford to Walford, 7 November-14 November.
Recipe: Tortilla Pizza
Spray oil
4 wholewheat, plain flour or corn tortillas (about 19cm/7½in diameter)
1 small garlic clove, peeled and halved
400g/14oz can chopped tomatoes (preferably with herbs)
¼-½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
125g/4½oz pecorino cheese (or a mature cheddar), coarsely grated
285g/10oz jar roasted red and yellow peppers, drained (about 175g/6oz of actual peppers)
70g/2½oz rocket
small handful fresh basil leaves (optional)
flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2-3 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
2-3 tsp extra virgin olive oil (optional)
1. Turn the oven ideally as high as it will go, making sure two shelves are in place - about 240C/450F/Gas 8 (220C fan). Spray a bit of oil on two large baking trays and place two tortillas on each. Spray a little more on top of the tortillas and then rub the cut side of the garlic all over the tortillas - this gives the pizza extra flavour.
2. Divide the chopped tomatoes evenly between the four tortillas, spreading them out but leaving a 1.5cm/¾in border. Scatter over the chilli flakes, if using, and divide the cheese and peppers evenly over the top. Pop both trays into the oven to bake for about 4-6 minutes (depending on how hot your oven is), or until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are crisp and golden-brown on their edges. Swap the trays around on the shelves half way through for even cooking.
3. Remove the tortillas from the oven and slide onto serving plates. Top with the rocket and basil (if using). Season with a little scattering of salt and pepper, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar and some extra virgin olive oil, if you fancy it.
Enjoy your pizza!

The Unknown Aero women
When Aeros were relaunched these women were the faces of the advertising campaign. The paintings were rediscovered and used in an exhibition last year. Since then researchers have been left wondering who the mystery women are. York's Borthwick Institute for Archives are currently trying to find the identities and stories behind the Aero women.

DOJ Sues Apple & 5 Publishers for Fixing E-Book Prices →
The antitrust lawsuit accuses Apple and five separate publishers of colluding to fix the price of e-books in violation of federal antitrust law. Hachette, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster have settled with the Justice Department, but the remaining three defendants—Apple, Penguin, and Macmillan have not.
Apparently, the price-fixing scheme began a few months prior to the release of the first iPad, and the publishers reportedly took steps to conceal secret communications with each other.
via Talking Points Memo:
The publishers and Apple ended up entering into an agreement. Jobs' own email to a publisher proves to be quite damning with Jobs stating that the publishers could work with Apple or pursue one of two other choices: "Keep going with Amazon at $9.99" or "hold back your books from Amazon."
In April 2010, publishers began charging $12.99, $14.99 or $16.99 for e-book versions of new hardcover titles.
Previously, the DOJ points out, e-book pricing occurred in a "wholesale model," wherein publishers sold their books to retailers at varying prices, then retailers were free to charge whatever they wanted for them.
The "agency model" that Apple and the five publishers implemented involved agreeing to fixed prices prior to selling the books through Apple's iBookstore, according to the DOJ.
If approved by the court, a settlement will grant retailers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble the freedom to reduce the price of their e-books. They would also be required to "terminate their anticompetitive most-favored-nation agreements with Apple and other e-books retailers."

The Minnesota Wild skates in game action at Xcel Energy Center for the first time nearly a month and the club will welcome back a pair of players returning from injury.
The Minnesota Wild doesn't get a chance to dip its toe in the water and slink back into the regular season. No the Wild cannonballs back into action, finishing off the second of a back-to-back road trip in Vancouver. It is the only time Minnesota visits Rogers Arena this season.
Hold on State of Hockey fans, things are about to get very interesting.
The Wild flew in to a balmy Edmonton for an afternoon practice at Rexall Place before re-starting the season after the Olympic break (yes, this might be the first time Edmonton has been described as balmy in a sentence, but compared to the State of Hockey this morning, it is downright tropical here).
The ice was reflecting the sun's warm gaze at the John Rose OVAL in Roseville, as the Minnesota Wild played the game in its purest form, outside. With the weekend's snowfall still clinging to the surrounding pines and a slight breeze scattering the fresh ice shavings, about 2,000 fans bundled up and came out to watch the Wild break into two teams and scrimmage at the outdoor rink, presented by Audi of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
The Minnesota Wild will host one of the fan favorite events this weekend.
On Sunday, Feb. 23, weather permitting, the club will hold an outdoor practice at the John Rose MN OVAL at 11 a.m., presented by Audi Minneapolis and Audi Saint Paul. The OVAL is located at 2661 Civic Center Drive in Roseville and the practice is free and open to the public.
The practice will help the club prepare for its post-Olympic schedule, which resumes in Edmonton on Feb. 27. The practice will follow the Olympic Gold Medal Game, which is earlier in the day.
The John Rose MN OVAL is the largest outdoor refrigerated skating facility in North America, featuring an 110,000 square foot slab of concrete used for the ice sports of speedskating, bandy, hockey, public skating and open hockey in the winter and inline skating in the spring, summer and fall. The OVAL has hosted events such as World Cup Speedskating, World and National Bandy Championships, and Aggressive Skating and Biking competitions. For more information on the John Rose MN OVAL visit skatetheoval.com.
The Lighthouse brings you a late post thanks to Snowmageddon, as we were busy stockpiling supplies like a Doomsday Prepper, gathering provisions for tomorrow's Olympic semifinal matchups. Now that we're comfortably loaded with frozen pizzas and plenty of thirst quenching icy beverages, we're ready to sit down and write.
With the Olympic hockey tournament quarterfinal round wrapping up today, the Wild resumed this afternoon with a practice at Braemar Arena in Edina.
The Minnesota Wild would like nothing more than to start its Olympic break on a high note. To do that, the team will have to close things out tonight against the surging Nashville Predators. Although the Preds are in last place in the Central Division, it has a winning record (25-23-9: 59 points) and has earned at least a point in six of its last seven games.
The Minnesota Wild will play in its final game before the Olympic break tomorrow, hosting the Nashville Predators at Xcel Energy Center.
"I don't want to take it until after tomorrow's game," Wild Head Coach Mike Yeo joked about the break after the team's practice. Well, he was probably serious, but it got a good laugh from the swarm of media in the scrum.

The San Diego Padres were hoping to gain some momentum off the heels of their recent two-game winning streak heading into Friday night's opening series game with the division rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The team was struck with a big blow prior to the release of Friday night's lineup, as both third baseman Chase Headley and outfielder Carlos Quentin were both listed as out.
According a report published earlier this evening by Jordan Littman of the San Diego Union Tribune, Headley was out due to lingering back pain, and received an epidural. How long Headley will remain out of the Padres' already anemic lineup remains unknown.
Outfielder Carlos Quentin was a scratch due to pain in his left knee. Quentin has had issues with his knees for the past several seasons. Seth Smith replaced Quentin in Friday night's lineup, while utility infielder Alexi Amarista filled the hot corner slot vacated by Headley.
Both Headley and Quentin have struggled at the plate mightily, along with the rest of their teammates through the season, and both players have spent time on the disabled list this season. With the non-waiver trading deadline just six weeks away, serious injuries to either or both of players could throw a wrench into any pending plans of a roster-wide fire sale in an attempt to rebuild a struggling franchise.

How was your experience?
The music was great; the emcee was a little annoying. The only real problem was that the concert started almost an hour late so it was out very late. If you advertise a start time of 8pm you shouldn't be more than15 minutes late. Anything more is unacceptable.

Well I can't say that I'm surprised about this. Orlando Sentinel writer Mike Bianchi released an article June 6, 2014 entitled "SEC should dump Mississippi schools, add UCF and USF" that has taken the internet by storm. It all started after UCF Football Head Coach George O'Leary was quoted as saying, "They sound like the South during the Civil War" when Mike Slive came out threatening to leave the NCAA if a vote for autonomy for the "Big-5″ conferences was not passed during the NCAA meetings. Mike Bianchi decided to take it a step further in his article.
My thoughts: If the Power 5 leagues truly want to break off into their own division then they first need to jettison the dead weight and add more deserving schools like UCF before setting sail for the brave new world of college football.
Example: The SEC should dump Ole Miss and Mississippi State and invite in UCF and USF to take their place. It's crazy that the Mississippi schools get to be part of the most powerful league in college football in a day and age when the sport is all about cable television subscribers, recruiting base and growth potential.
Needless to say, that struck a chord with Mississippi State and Ole Miss fans alike. He seriously thinks that the SEC would benefit from dropping one state completely out of the SEC while gaining two schools in a state that already has a SEC-member institution. Granted, UCF is the second-largest public university in the nation. But what he fails to realize is that by dropping Mississippi schools from the SEC, he would be dropping a perennial baseball powerhouse (MSU). But let's just let Mr. Bianchi think that he has concocted the greatest idea since sliced bread for the SEC. But then he decided to pull out this gem…
With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy: How can you tell if a Mississippi State fan is on vacation in Orlando? He's the one trying to take his fishing pole into Sea World!
Let's face it, the only reason Ole Miss and Mississippi State are part of SEC today is that they happened to be at the right place at the right time 100 years ago when the conference was formed while UCF and USF weren't.
If the big boys of the Power 5 truly want to start their own division then how about first getting rid of the irrelevant schools in their own conferences?
I hate to say this, but Mr. Bianchi is digging his own grave and I hope he comes to either Starkville or Oxford. Also, I hope he has a chance to try to defend this article in the presence of Mississippi State and Ole Miss fanbases alike.
If you'd like to read his article for some odd reason, it can be found here.
If you want to give him a piece of your mind on Twitter, his Twitter handle is @BianchiWrites.

Los and lots of bubbles
posted 4 years ago
I have aways loved watching the bubbles, and the fish swimming through them, but it gets clogged with algae and it is sometimes hard to clean.
Pros: It is fun to watch
Cons: It gets clogged quickly

Postal Service woes could undermine federal workers' comp fund
August 30th, 2011 | 2012 Budget Labor Postal Service | Posted by Sean Reilly
What happens at the U.S. Postal Service doesn't necessarily stay at the Postal Service.
The latest example: A federal workers' compensation fund could run out of money within three months if the cash-strapped mail carrier skips a $1.2 billion payment due in mid-October, according to the Labor Department.
The department runs the fund under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. Should the Postal Service miss the October "chargeback" for past claims, officials estimate that the program would have no money to pay any benefits during the last four months of fiscal 2012, running from next June through September, according to a letter to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
BUT, the fund could have to halt benefits by late this November if the Postal Service misses its required payment and—as is considered extremely possible—the government begins fiscal 2012 under a continuing resolution. The reason is that Congress generally doesn't appropriate enough money under a short-term CR to cover the cost of annual lump sum benefits, Brian Kennedy, the Labor Department's assistant secretary for congressional and intergovernmental affairs, said in the letter. On top of that, the workers' comp fund wouldn't have enough money to pay the vendor that processes medical claims under the compensation act, Kennedy wrote. His letter, dated Aug. 1, was first reported by Reuters news service.
So, will the Postal Service, which describes itself as effectively bankrupt, be able to ante up? At this point, the answer is yes, spokesman Dave Partenheimer said today in an email. But in its third-quarter report released earlier this month, the Postal Service suggested it could have "insufficient cash" to meet all of its federal obligations this fall, including the workers' comp component.
The moral? To rewrite a famous line from English poet John Donne, no agency is an island. And for thousands of federal workers' comp beneficiaries out there . . . keep your fingers crossed.

Why should USPS pay more into benefits more than other agencies. I would think because it is a non govt agency enjoying rights as a private operating entity. Its time to pull in the reins and bring back under the Federal govt control. THis agency has failed like no other. Unable to get money from Congress and no sympathy from the public it is in over its' head. Too many local post offices, stations and branches. 6 day a week delivery is stupid. THe Board for Governors is a joke and another level of approval that always comes. The major mailers have USPS under their fingers. It is time to re-organize.

Rep. Issa is a jaded politician with a questionable past. That anyone with half a brain or more listens to his proposals to gut the USPS tells how dumb people are. And how congressman, with past convictions can B.S. the public and get away with it. I'm a Republican, and Rep. Issa is a windbag not worthy of holding any office, even dog catcher. My guess is he stands to make money on this deal if he has his way. Big surprise. What a bum!

The Post Office – once a proud organization that accomplished a needed task with strength of character. Now a aging dinosaur with an obese body that instructs its pea sized brain to eat more inorder to keep its bloated body alive. All at the expense of the the tax payer. The Workers Compensation issue is only of of serveral facing the US Post Office. They have people 90 years old still on WC and making more money than if they had retired on a federal pension which is well above what the rest of us have to live on. It's time for a house cleaning and the first to should be the unions.
Chris S Says:
September 3rd, 2011 at 10:34 am
@Bull Dog… you need to get a better education. Sounds like you dropped out of Home School. You make accusations without any facts.
Here's the facts, the postal service would be in the black fiscally if Issa wasn't chair of the commitee. The postal service is the only oranization (public or private) that has to pre-fund its retiree health care at staggering $5.5 billion AND continue to pay into CSRS when it is over funded by $75 Billion. If the USPS didn't have to pay into those funds, everything would be good.
BUT… the Repugnicans want the USPS to fold! This way their corporate buddies can come in and sweep up the major money making areas and leaves everything else behind.

Ooops… I meant FERS, not CSRS.

The internet is wonderful and terrible in its volume. It allows us to read anything, but it gives us entirely too much to read. That memo. That email. This article. We are all bailing water out of a leaky info-boat.
Most smartphone apps contribute to this deluge of facts. "Save this to read later," they offer, as though "later" you won't have better things to read. Refresh your Twitter feed … or download our magazine app! (Seriously though, do it, if you want to be a thought leader.)
But one app promises to be part of the solution. Spritz, its creators say, will speed up reading time by flashing just one word of an article or book at a time inside a text box. It will center each word around its Optimal Recognition Point (ORP), the point at which most readers recognize its meaning. Users can set the pace at which the words zoom by—currently, the app can go up to 600 words per minute, about double the normal reading speed.

"Sensory fiction" offers yet another update to our sense of what a book is.
This Woman Read One Book From Every Country in the World: Here Are Her Favorites
In the fall of 2012, Ann Morgan was wrestling with a problem few of us can identify with. No matter how hard she tried, she simply could not find a book to read in English from the tiny African nation of Sao Tome and Principe. At a loss, she appealed for help on Facebook and Twitter, only to be deluged with offers from around the world to translate whatever work she chose from the Portuguese-speaking island. A small army of volunteers in Europe and the United States ultimately came to her rescue, translating chunks of Olinda Beja's 140-page The Shepherd's House into English.
The crowdsourcing experiment was just one memorable moment in Morgan's quest to read one book from every country in the world in one year—a goal she accomplished just around this time last year, as New Year's Day approached. The London-based freelance writer defined her universe of countries as "all UN-recognised countries plus Palestine and Taiwan," and added one additional territory—Kurdistan—based on a vote by readers of the blog she maintained for the project. That meant reading a grand total of 197 books, at a pace offour books per week and a cost of several thousand British pounds. (While Morgan bought many of the books, reading some on her Kindle and others in print, she obtained others by more unconventional means; the first book she read, from South Sudan, was written specially for her blog.)

Novels Every Supreme Court Justice Should Read
Just before the Supreme Court's October sitting, Justice Antonin Scalia made national headlines by proclaiming that he believes in Satan.
But before the November sitting, Justice Stephen G. Breyer sparked widespread apathy when he revealed he has read Marcel Proust's seven-volume masterwork, A la recherché du temps perdu.
In French.
Breyer made this startling revelation in an interview with La Revue des Deux Mondes of Paris, published in translation by The New York Review of Books.*
I suspect that many Americans, told of this accomplishment, would be baffled: Why read a book in French when there are good English translations available? Why bother with a work of thousands of pages and damned little action? (Before it was published, a reader for one French publisher rejected it, saying, "My dear friend, perhaps I am dense, but I just don't understand why a man should take 30 pages to describe how he turns over in bed before he goes to sleep.")

Public Libraries Are Better Than Congress, Baseball, and Apple Pie, Say Americans
Every so often, a grave and concerned person will ask (as, in fact, the New York Times asked last year): "Do We Still Need Libraries?" Hasn't the Internet kind of, you know, ended all that? Aren't libraries falling behind?
Tellingly, the Times could find no one to argue against libraries, and that mirrors American sentiment pretty much exactly. A new Pew study finds that not only do Americans adore libraries, but a majority of us think they're adjusting to new technology just fine.
As my colleague Svati Narula reported, some 94 percent of Americans say that having a public library improves a community and that the local library is a "welcoming, friendly place." 91 percent said they had never had "a negative experience using a public library, either in person or online."
These sound like incredible approval ratings for any U.S. public institution. So I wondered: Just how incredible are they? How do other icons of Americana compare?
Using exclusive and highly accurate statistical analysis techniques, I endeavored to find out. Here are the results.

Americans Still Care About Their Public Libraries
The public library in my hometown has been closed and undergoing reconstruction since 2011. This hasn't much affected me, because somewhere around the time that I acquired a taste for coffee, I began eschewing libraries in favor of retail bookstores. Browsing at Barnes & Noble with a latte in hand is more pleasurable; ordering from Amazon seems more efficient.
But a Pew Research Center report released Wednesday reveals, somewhat surprisingly, given stories about the "death of print" as well as the scant resources sometimes devoted to these establishments, that the majority of Americans strongly value their public libraries. When asked whether the closing of their local public library would have an impact on their communities, 90 percent of American adults (ages 16 years and older) said yes, it would, and 63 percent said the impact would be "major." When asked if library closures would affect them and their families personally, only 32 percent responded the way I would have—with a "no."

The E-Reading Software That's Better Than Kindles or iBooks
Want to read books on a screen?
Up to now, two large companies would make that easy for you.
Option #1: Apple's iBooks system. Chipper and colorful, iBooks is easy to use if you own an iPhone or iPad. In its zeal to convince you that, yes, you are reading a book!, though, it can cartoonishly oversell the reading experience. (Case in point: Apple has patented its page-turning animation.)
Option #2: Amazon's Kindle devices. The retail giant has both its own line of gray, hardy e-readers and also makes reading software for other platforms, including Apple and Android phones/tablets. It has lots of books to read, but, once purchased, you can only read them on Kindles. Some of its software, too, suffers for its extensibility. At its worst, the Kindle system can feel like Windows 95: closed, hard to leave, and a bit stodgy.
As of this week, though, readers have a new option. Starting immediately, Penguin UK will sell its ebooks on the Readmill system. You can now read the works of best-selling authors—including George Orwell, John LeCarré, and Zadie Smith—on the lesser-known but elegant reading system, Readmill.

Having had my EOS 20D converted to Infrared, I am gaining experience in photographing and processing infrared. I have discovered that the performance of lenses for infrared (strictly near infrared) does vary a lot. I have found some suggestions on the web of lenses to avoid and some to use but few tests have been carried out. One of the well known problems is hot spots.
Of my four lenses, I have found the following:
a. Canon 10-22mm EF-S - recommended and I find very good performance and sharp images
b. Sigma 12-24mm not recommended on one site but recommended on another, I find very susceptable to IR flare and edges always very soft (almost unusable)
c. Canon 24-105mm seems to be one of the most recommended for IR and my experience is excellent performance sharp images
d. Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IR L - not recommended on one site as having a hot spot but I have not used mine for IR yet
I would be interested if anyone has first hand experience of lens performance for IR. Even if it is not the lenses I use, it may be of value to others.
I've found the Canon 50mm f/1.4 gives a noticeable hot-spot, but the Canon 28-135 IS seems fine (used for all the IR shots in my gallery).
I'll be trying the Sigma 100-300 next time I pop up to Whipsnade ...
There's a list of IR recommended lenses here.
here is another list. With a few more on.
From my very limited experiments to date I think some of the hotspots, colourbands are reflections from the viewfinder. On a side note it helped explain one of the problems I had when I borrowed the big stopper.
If you cover the viewfinder they diminish. From what I've read some of the older primes are better, as they dont have coatings that optimise the visible spectrum.
Nick thanks for that. The link is one of those I had found which has my 70-200 under the hotspots category but this one has the Sigma 12-24 in the good category though another site says it is bad and my experience is that all shots were unsharp apart from the centre.
You mentioned covering the viewfinder and this was certainly an issue when I originally used my 20D with an R72 filter. In this case the the R72 blocks visible light at the lens and the sensor was not very sensitive to IR because of the internal IR block filter. I used to have to use typically 30 seconds exposure times. The high level of visible light from the viewfinder could thus be very significant. With the modified camera the internal IR block filter has been removed and a 720nM IR pass filter added which blocks much of the visible light (not only from the lens but any other source). The exposure times are now similar to when the camera was used for visible light as the sensor is just as sensitive to near IR as visible. I had not heard of any problems with converted cameras and no longer use a stopper. Are you using an external filter or has your camera been modified for IR?
A hotspot on the image can't be the viewfinder - that's blocked for you when the mirror flips up to take the shot.

Quote: A hotspot on the image can't be the viewfinder - that's blocked for you when the mirror flips up to take the shot.
Well I cant think of another explanation - I did before and after in several locations and in every instance the results with the viewfinder shielder were infinately better - I created a post on it. If you cant get internal reflections why do camera manufacturers provide viefinder caps - the D700 & D3 from Nikon have them built in.
This is the topic see 2/3 of way down the page.
After I had the problem it the same phenomena and results are stated on several technical websites (sorry didn't bookmark them).
Chris is almost certainly right that it is not a hot spot because the light causing the problems is not coming through the lens. However, it could indeed cause flare just by extraneous light from the Vewfinder getting past the mirror. Normally light leaking past the mirror would be relatively very small compared with the light through the lens but, for an unconverted Camera using an external R72 filter the leaking light may be significant. Before my camera was converted the IR light recorded was 11 stops less than normal visible shots but the leakage would remain the same level.
If you follow the link - when the viewfinder was uncovered I got the effect - when I covered the viewfinder there was none (see example its really obvious) and could be seen instantly on the review screen.Last Modified By Nick_w at 14 Aug 2010 - 12:25 PM
As an aside, I've just realised I've solved a problem I had years ago on night shots. Your right it is probably miniscule amouts of light leaking ffrom the sides of the mirror - the violet colour gives away that the light source is from the visible part of the spectrum, which would be shifted far more to the Visible / UV part of the spectrum - I think with the D700 the difference in eV is ca 13ev (or stops) caused by the highly effective UV filter. I had a similar problem with night shots (about 10-20 min exposures) when I didn't cover the viewfinder.
Note: I also tend to use true mirror up on all but seascapes. And I'm in manual mode 95%+ of the time. In the example I had it seemed to be in direct correlation to the shutter speed - I was running some at about 3 - 4 minutes (from memory I think the unfiltered shot was about 1/6 to 1/10sec, but could be wrong).
Quote: If you cant get internal reflections why do camera manufacturers provide viefinder caps - the D700 & D3 from Nikon have them built in.
Usually because the meter is located between the viewfinder and the mirror, in the pentaprism housing - so light through the viewfinder can affect the exposure time even when the mirror's up. It's not an issue if your head is blocking the light but can be if it's not.
That which you showed in your link wasn't what is generally referred to as a hotspot - those are literally a roughly circular spot in the centre of the image, frequently varying in size/intensity according to the lens used and the aperture.
I would agree that your issue was due to the slight light leakage and the long exposures you were using. Heating of the sensor due to the length of exposure could also come into play.
Chris I dont think heat would be an issue - as its a top end dSLR - and I dont get the problem normally with long exposures - also just thinking out loud it would still heat up with the viewfinder covered. The problem with IR with unconverted cameras is you are dealing with extreme exposures, exposing for part of the spectrum the camera wasn't designed for. So any "normal" light entering would be exacerbated. Since posting the thread I was looking for other examples - there was one poor image on flickr that demonstrated it They covered the lens had a 30 sec exposure and shone a maglight in the viewfinder and got a very similar result. - not something I want to repeat!
I wasn't meaning to imply that normal hotspots were due the viewfinder, they show reflections from the internal lens elements (normally) - I was trying to explain that some examples I've seen do not conform to the typical hotspots, but are more linear and may just may be similar to what I have seen. They could also come from light leaks if a slot in filter is used (I was using a circular Hoya screw on filter) - So as you can see I did go through quite a few scenarios, before I drew my conclusions.
I still havent found the website where I originally found identical results to mine.

Qualifying for the 2014 World Cup will wrap up this week. There are six games on Tuesday to determine the final European and African spots. The hight light of those games is the match up between Portugal and Sweden.
Mexico is playing New Zealand in a playoff, and won the first leg 5-1. They'll play in New Zealand to determine the winner, but it would take a large come back. Uruguay is in a similar boat with Jordan, except for the fact that their big 5-0 win came on the road. Jordan would have to have a big offensive and defensive performance to win the game.

Tonight, Mark Sanchez and the rest of the New York Jets take the national stage on Sunday night football to take on the Carolina Panthers. The starters are scheduled to play into the second half before the backups take over, so this third game really does serve as the final dress rehearsal for the regular season. Here are some things we will be watching for:
Not that this isn't obvious to anyone that has watched the Jets so far, but it is the number one item tonight. Can the Ground and Pound get off and running? They averaged 2.7 yards per rush against the Giants last week. That just isn't going to fly.
It starts with the offensive line. They have their new starting right tackle, Austin Howard. This line used to be a strength of the team, and now it is a liability. When the line did open up some holes last week, Shonn Greene had a little pep in his step, with a few good runs. Same for Bilal Powell. It just wasn't consistent though. The line has to get off the snap, start driving guys backward, and opening up some holes for this running game to get going.

India Christin daughter of the 90s rapper Charli Balitmore is making her imprint on the modeling industry and from what I've heard is making her way into the music business (like everyone else). As of yet, India has not been signed to a major label but is hoping that all will change this year!
Modeling or Singing, which will it be or does India really have to choose?
