Compared to the insanity of today's political environment, the world of Cloud Computing seems downright placid. The calmness on the surface, however, often hides turbulence underneath.
Take the hullabaloo surrounding comments that Greg DeMichillie, Director of Product Management, Cloud Platform at Google made on a recent GigaOM podcast – or more precisely, comments that he didn't make. GigaOM's Derrick Harris asked DeMichillie whether Google Cloud Platform might go the way of, say Google Reader, an example of a product Google killed in spite of its market traction because Google felt that Reader didn't fit into its strategy. DeMichillie replied that essentially developers didn't have anything to worry about, because Google Cloud Platform externalizes what Google uses internally. "There's no scenario in which Google suddenly decides, 'Gee, I don't think we need to think about storage anymore or computing anymore'," DeMichillie said.
However, what he didn't say was that Google was committed to the Google Cloud Platform long term. This omission caused various analysts and pundits to pounce, leading to Google's PR company walking back DeMichillie's comments – that is, if it's even possible to walk back something an executive didn't actually say. Enterprises want futureproofed technology, say the pundits. Enterprises are in IT for the long haul, after all. There's no way they'd go for a Cloud the service provider wasn't fully committed to!
Ever the contrarian, ZapThink doesn't agree with these pundits. Google's reluctance to commit to the Cloud Platform long term isn't an indication that Google doesn't understand the enterprise Cloud buyer, or that Google isn't committed to serving their enterprise customers long term. Rather, it's more of a cultural difference between Google and typical enterprises. Fair enough – but won't a cultural disconnect be a problem for Google as they ramp up their enterprise Cloud offering? The answer is no, but understanding why requires understanding the broader context of enterprise Cloud Computing.
Google's Cultural Context
In an earlier ZapFlash, I explained how Google's and Amazon's lack of cultural baggage positioned both companies to compete well against the telcos. The story in today's ZapFlash, however, is more about the culture that Google champions, rather than the cultural baggage it lacks. Over the years, Google has revealed its culture in many ways:
Google's willingness to try anything. Not only are Googlers expected to spend a sizable chunk of their time on pet projects, but they love to run many of those pet projects up the flagpole to see which customers will salute. Some ideas take off, others founder, and many find themselves in a seemingly never-ending beta state. True, there are products like Google Reader or iGoogle that gain traction, only to be pulled from the market. But many more ideas take off and remain lucrative, adding to Google's already impressive bottom line.
Google's Silicon Valley, millennial-centric culture. The idea of two forty-somethings interning at Google is so ludicrous, Twentieth Century Fox actually produced a feature comedy based entirely on this premise. Need I say more?
Don't be evil. More than an informal motto, don't be evil is one of Google's core values. While this principle calls for integrity and honesty, those characteristics don't differentiate Google from millions of other organizations who also champion such traits. What makes this motto special at Google is how people within the organization actually act upon it as Google has grown into the global powerhouse it is today. By all accounts, this motto encourages Googlers to make decisions based upon what's best for the customer, where "the customer" refers to an idealized notion, rather than necessarily referring to specific paying customers. For example, Google fastidiously tweaks their search algorithm to frustrate the efforts of search engine optimizers, whose goal in life is to game the system. Such optimization is better for search users in general, as well as for the Internet overall. In this context, all users of the Internet are Google "customers."
The culture of scale. The reason Google is a Cloud player in the first place is because they figured out how to scale their infrastructure. But there's more to Google's culture of scale than the infrastructure story itself. Everything they bring to market must leverage this scale, which means that everything they work on must have massive scale as a core enabler. This trait gives new meaning to the maxim think big.
Roll up these cultural characteristics and DeMichillie's perspective begins to make sense. True, the Google Compute Engine and Google App Engine began as experiments that leveraged Google's massive scale. Now that enterprises are taking advantage of these tools, Google clearly won't leave such customers out in the cold, since doing so would "be evil." But will these products remain essentially unchanged five or ten years out? Nobody knows. From Google's perspective, DeMichillie's comments were right on target. Enterprise developers shouldn't have anything to worry about, right?
The Bigger Picture
There's more to this story, of course – and the larger story is a drum that ZapThink has been beating for a while now. At its core, Cloud Computing is a phenomenon of the Internet and the broader world of Web scale. It's no mistake that companies like Amazon and Salesforce have defined the Cloud marketplace, as both vendors were born of the Web and live and breathe horizontal scalability, basic availability, eventual consistency, and decentralized, hypermedia-oriented architectures. Such Web scale environments are inherently dynamic.
Legacy enterprise IT environments, in contrast, focus on vertical scalability, high availability transactionality that requires immediate consistency, and centralized, middleware-centric architectures. And while such legacy environments have managed for the most part to meet the needs of global enterprises, they are inherently static, inflexible and expensive to maintain.
Cloud Computing is bringing the world of Web scale to enterprise legacy environments one way or another. Nobody wants the Cloud to be more like enterprise legacy. On the contrary: everyone wants enterprise legacy to be more like the Cloud.
Google understands this bigger picture with every fiber of its being. The world of Web scale is Google's culture and its foundation, both its technical foundation and its raison d'être as a business. But more importantly, the world of Web scale is at the core of the value proposition it brings to customers – including its inherently dynamic nature. It doesn't make sense to Google to bring a "futureproofable" offering to the enterprise. Instead, they are living their "don't be evil" mantra by expecting and even encouraging enterprise customers to move to the world of Web scale, even though it's inherently dynamic.
The ZapThink Take
Analysts love chopping up broader markets like Cloud Computing into ever-smaller market chunks like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. In fact, the whole Cloud Computing market itself is a somewhat arbitrary construct. Analysts take this divide and conquer approach, of course, so they can write about individual markets.
When markets have matured, such slicing and dicing often makes sense. But as I've discussed before, because Cloud Computing is an emerging market (or set of markets), it doesn't fit well into the spreadsheet-driven market models the analysts use. Nevertheless, most vendors try to shoehorn themselves into the various analyst buckets even in emerging markets, if for no other reason than to encourage analyst coverage.
Google, however, doesn't like playing this game. In fact, when DeMichillie discussed Google Compute Engine and Google App Engine, he didn't use terms like IaaS and PaaS. Instead, he discussed application hosting, storage, and development platform as the core elements of Google's Cloud Platform – a categorization that makes sense to Google, but doesn't necessarily line up with analyst market models.
This phrasing on his part had a deeper meaning. Google isn't committed to IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS – or even the Cloud itself – as market categories. Instead, Google is committed to running many things up the flagpole to see what meets customer needs in a scalable, non-evil manner. If the market categories end up different in ten years, then so be it. What matters is that Google's innovation is customer-focused – yes, even on enterprise customers.
So, should we expect futureproofed offerings from Google? Absolutely not. But more importantly, we don't want futureproofed offerings from Google. We want innovative offerings with a laser focus on delivering customer value at scale. Can Google learn to tell this story better to enterprise buyers? Absolutely. But don't let their culture-driven approach to market messaging interfere with your understanding of Google's core value proposition.
Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

When opening an image in any of the nic plug-ins. You always want to ensure you're sending off the best quality file possible. Notice we are working with a RAW image here. Regarding if you are working in Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture. If you're starting with a RAW file, before you can send it off to nic plug-ins, the file is going to be converted to a TIFF, a PSD, or some other format. If we send the file as it is, often add plug-ins, as you can see, we're not really going to be sending off the maximum amount of data. Look at all the shadow detail that is simply not showing up in here. We have a big gap of the shadow area, where we could stretch this histogram out, to fill in the full width of the histogram, and get a lot more detail in there.
Now, it's true that I could open this as a TIF file Internet plugins. And then using the curves in there to stretch this out. However, I'd be stretching out an essentially flattened file. Whereas, if I'm working with the raw data, and I stretch the file out before I send it off, I'll get a much better result. So, you can do this using either curves or levels. I personally prefer to use curves, but it doesn't really matter for something quite this simple. As you can see in here, there's the histogram. Here's my black point. And all I really needed to do is take my black point and drop it to the bottom of the mountain.
Now in this particular image this gets quite dark down here in the shadow areas and frankly, it's a little bit too dark for my personal taste. So I'm going to go ahead and slide this back up just a little bit, just to open up those shadows a touch. I'll probably end up crunching those shadows quite a bit more in one of my plugins. However, for now, this is the type of file that I want to send off. Again, it's important to send off as much data as you possibly can. Just ensuring that you're getting the image quality that you deserve when you're working inside ofINAUDIBLE plugins. If you happen to be working in Aperture, you need to make a decision about what type of file you're going to be sending off. By going to the export plug in.
You'll see that you have some choices here for your external folder editor. As well as what type of file format will be sent off to the editor. Now in this case I'm not actually sending it to Photoshop. I'm going to be sending it to a Nick plug in. However the extender editor file format is still used when I choose to open with a different plug in. With an aperture you have the choice between psd for Photoshop or Tif. These can be 8 or 16 bit files. It's up to you what you want to send. If I'm sending a file to Photoshop I'll always send a psd file so I can take advantage of Photoshop's layers.
If I'm sending it to a plugin like Nic then I'm just going to set it to Tif. I can also choose between eight and 16 bit, but for the most part eight bit is going to be just fine. Now when I right-click on the image and I choose to edit with a plug-in, and I choose any plug-in such as Silver Effects Pro 2, as you can see Aperture is going to generate that tif file for me. A similar process will happen whether you're working in Lightroom, or in Photoshop.

The comparative approach to public policy illuminates the policy process in both foreign and domestic contexts and also provides valuable lessons on how governments and organizations can do things differently. This new introductory text combines information about public policies in different countries with an explanation of the frameworks that have been used to analyze these policies. It compares public policies across a wide range of countries and across core policy areas, including welfare, education, healthcare and the environment. This comparison of different policy areas provides the foundation for a critical overview of the main theories and methodological issues in comparative public policy. Informed by the latest research, the text examines the key variables that lead to different policies in different countries. It also assesses the challenges posed by attempts to transfer policies from one society to another and assesses the impact of globalization on public-policy making. Supported by a wealth of figures, charts and real-life international examples, this book provides a comprehensive and integrated introduction to comparative public policy in the twenty-first century.

About this recipe: This is so easy and is one of my favourite recipes. It tastes even better if you use homemade raspberry jam.
Lovely recipe, found that it needed a tbsp of golden syrup to bind it and used 75g stork, 75g brown sugar, 75g flour, 125g jam and 125g oats and it came out perfect and a bit lower on the old calories! - 20 Mar 2012
A big hit, thanks! I used olive spread instead of butter as I realized at the last minute that I hadn't any. Still worked Also, I found pressing it into the tin a challenge as it stuck to everything I used to press it in; ended up taking it out of the tin, rolling it into a ball and using a rolling pin to make the oblong shape of my tin. Worked a treat. - 24 Oct 2011

Wacky Idaho Gubernatorial Debate: A video of a recent Idaho Public Television Republican gubernatorial debate has gone viral, but not for the policies the candidates proposed. The four-person debate included two standard politicians – Gov. Butch Otter and Sen. Russ Fulcher – but also two eccentric men. One candidate, Harley Brown, was dressed in full biker leather, with a knife visible under his coat. The other, Walt Bayes, appears to be some sort of Rutherford B. Hayes-era mountain man. But, all four candidates express a passion for freedom, liberty, and being a strong leader for the "famous potatoes" state.
Teens Possibly Behind San Diego Wildfires: Police in California arrested a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old on Thursday on arson charges related to several brush fires in an area where wildfires are raging near San Diego.

Two Former Navy Seals Found Dead on 'Captain Phillips' shipSubmitted by Betty Liberty on Wed, 02/19/2014 - 16:35
Two security officers have been found dead aboard the Maersk Alabama container ship, the same vessel portrayed in the movie "Captain Phillips," police said Wednesday.
The men, both former Navy SEALs, were found on Tuesday while the ship was moored in the Seychelles, Fox News reported.
"A postmortem will be carried out this week in order to establish the cause of their sudden deaths while the police investigates the possible circumstances which led to these incidents," police in the Seychelles said.

Seychelles is a tax heaven for high profile politicians and other white-collar criminals.
This article has more info
I was particularly interested in this tid-bit:
"The Maersk Alabama's home port is in Norfolk, Va., where its parent company Maersk Line, Ltd. is also headquartered. The Maersk Alabama transports food aid to East Africa in support of the U.S. government's "Food for Peace" program, according to the company. Crew members also help support the Bee Hive Children's Home in Mombasa, Kenya."
Google mombasa kenya obama! I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but what if these guys saw something they shouldn't have aboard that ship?
Or perhaps they were loose ends in some other scandal.
I'm a serial entrepreneur and liberty activist from Texas!
...while the police investigates the possible circumstances...
That's a relief.
I'm sure we'll get the complete story once the investigation is complete.
This is just awful. I hope they get to the bottom of it!
I wonder what this
is all about?
Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.
Me too
I'm wondering if they were former Seal Team 6 members.

Can Editorial Photographers Make A Living Anymore?
I've often wondered? I certainly know plenty of photographers who do make a living in editorial photography and have always assumed there's a large cliff between them and those who want to make it their profession but I have no clue what kind of money is being made and how many people are making it.
PDN is going help solve that problem with a survey (to find out what editorial photographers earn, how they're surviving, and what kind of rates they're getting) editorial photographers can take (here).
The survey comes at an difficult time for editorial photographers because by all indications we're headed for a pretty bad winter of dropping circ and advertiser belt tightening (here and here) that can only result in fewer assignments and money available for photography. Hopefully we're not far from the bottom and the industry can rebound like it did after 2000. With more and more photography headed online where the distribution and printing is virtually free it seems like publishers could still manage to pay for original photography so their publication doesn't start to resemble google.
I think we've reached a critical juncture for the editorial photography industry and it's time to take stock of where we are so we can make changes that will ensure the long term health going forward. The industry used to just take care of itself but I'm not so sure that will be the case in the future.

I have the oily skin one and I've bought it about 3x. This is good for my acne scarring (I don't wear sunscreen, I know I know). I do not put it ALL over my face, just the specific spots I need help with. It's a creme, comes out of a resealable tube. Once it settles that area of my face becomes very oily. I usually wear it on top of all the other stuff I put on my face at night. If I use it every night for a week - I'll see good results and my dark brown spot will fade to a light pink. I'll post pictures later on of a particularly dark spot that my Origins Dr. Weil Mega Bright serum isn't doing ANYTHING about. This always has done the trick. Seems like it doesn't do well with hyper pigmentation.
Why does this have bad reviews! I've been using this fade cream for 1 month now and I never thought I would actually like it this much. I have 3 dark spots on my face due to acne, acne always leaves Brown spots on my face one it clears, their for I am beyond shocked that my marks are almost gone! had these spots for way to long. I used this fade cream only on spots not my whole face but I am very pleased. I am fair skin.. only thing I would say that is negative is that it says on the tube that it will not work for for dark skin! that's so lame!!

When I had developed some dark marks around the areas near my mouth, I decided to use this product to help get rid of such, which it did. The only thing that i do not like about this product is its scent, as it smells too perfumey.
I purchased this product after using a number of other lotions/creams/gels, etc., to try and minimize a small patch of hyper pigmentation I was developing on the left side of my face. I had tried a similar product from La Roche Posay for months and saw ZERO results. Therefore, my expectations with AMBI were slim to none. I believe the hyper pigmentation I had developed was a result of age/sun exposure vs. deep acne scarring. I've used the AMBI cream at night and in the morning (only on the affected area) for about two weeks and have seen a drastic change in the few dark spots I had seen. They're noticeably lighter and I no longer have to cover them with an additional layer of Bobbi Brown's foundation stick (in addition to my normal liquid foundation). For me, this product was worth the few dollars I paid for it, and has done the job. I will be repurchasing.
I brought this product after watching a YouTube review/tutorial on it. I use the product for the first time at night, and woke up in the middle of the night to find my face was incredibly oily and pudgy. I thought nothing of it, went back to sleep- woke up the next morning to find my face absolutelty covered in an extreme rash. I had tiny bumps all over my face, with small white heads. Stopped using the product straight away. I must say however, I put alot of the product on my face as opposed to a little- but still, the results were horrendous. Still searching for an effective acne scar fading cream.
It was a waste of my money. Made my nose somewhat shiny all the time. I also used it on my arms because of all the mosiquito bites I had from camping with my daughters. Simply did not work. I couldn't tell a difference. Using Clorox might be more effective because this product smells very pungent as well!!!
soo I bought this stuff few months ago and long story short. broke me out with more acne and clogged my nose pores...yuck!! I was not happy because I was a home shell because I was embarrased:( this stuff smells like hair perm..its real cheap no wonder it doesn't work, you get what you pay for or if it works for scars not good for people prone to breaking out. because made reason I get scars is because of acne.

omg I used this 2yrs ago..didn't work at all. it stinks like chemicals. I tried it on old scars n new scars...I scar easily and need something to help get rid of it. so now I been using snail extract its all natural and it works the science behind it makes sense, how snail protect themselves..i know it sound gross but it works..i got mine from alternative-secrets website and its cheap too. i also been using kojic acid
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I tried using this on some liver spots I have, but unfortunately it turns out I'm highly allergic to the active ingredient hydroquinone. My face becomes filled with tiny bumps that are not acne. It's almost like a crust. The worst thing is I get it all over my face and not just where I put the product. It's like if a little just touches somewhere else, I will break out there. Hydroquinone is a powerful ingredient. I highly suggest you do a patch test first before applying it to your face.

Topics I've Started
Blackcell Operative vest
02 July 2011 - 09:49 PMWhatever happened to it? it wasn't a bad vest.
Spec Ops pb needs to ressurect(sp?) the operative vest with some modifications and sell this as their flagship vest instead of having so many different types of vest. this will simplify inventory as well as allow them to stay competitive in the growing woodsball market. yes they have the variety with lots of options but each vest has its own individual strengths and weaknesses and we need a vest that addresses all this at one time.
features that the vest should have:
-needs to be molle (some people will swear against the molle system but its already proven as seen by the US military)
-needs adjustable shoulders (similar to the forge vests style but there also need to be a strap with a kydex clip that connects over the shoulder as well because many players put a hefty load on the back and the weight combined with wear and tear plus snagging on brush is a combination that could open the shoulder on your vest at a very inopportune time)
-the shoulders need to be fairly wide and padded (this will mean more comfort when the vest is loaded down)
-get rid of the crap connectors on the side of the forge and make it zippered in the front with slide buckles on the side to open up the vest or close it (i've had the ends come out of the webbing on my forge so many times its not funny anymore)
-just eliminate the hydration bladder pouch in the vest (when a bladder is put in there it makes the vests pull awkwardly around the chest, i know because i own multiple SO vests and i've tried it all)
after that create another series of pouches for the vest
the number on being a small pouch that takes up about the same space as a hydration bladder carrier but is styled as a small day pack so players can put their hydration bladders and any large items in the main pouch and small tools or other items in the outer pouch and to either flank of the big pouch have 2 pod holders with elastic bands in between them to hold a 3rd pod on each side
also make pouches for nalgene bottles because when i spent my time in afghanistan if someone wasn't drinking from an actual bottle of water then it was from a nalgene bottle and rarely a camelbak.
this is all i have for now but more may come later
MILSIM gear vests, rails, pouches, etc.
02 September 2009 - 06:22 PMFirst for the eye candy
Now its time to get down and dirty
First, i have an official Knights armament m4 hand guard set with 3 of their rail covers. these bitches don't come cheap but they are one of the best rail systems on the market. This would be perfect if you wanna add a railed fore arm to your marker or airsoft gun. i want 150 OBO for these
Today i also have for sale the blackcell operative vest that i no longer use. It is a great vest with lots of molle webbing so you can mount just about any gear you want on it. It has never been used in a paintball game but i have rolled around in the dirt and brush with it.
it comes with some pouches already on it. an Admin pouch for your maps, id, notebooks, whatever you want and a flashlight pouch with a gerber flashlight. There is a hydration bladder pocket in the back of the vest and the hose runs up and out through a hole in the shoulder so you don't have alot of hose hanging out of the vest.
Price: 50 OBO which means make me an offer
next up,
Molle mag pouches
I have four of these, i would like 10 a piece or all 4 of them for 30.
And last i have a MOLLE butt pack made by TAG (tactical assault gear). As you can see it has molle webbing on it so you can mount even more gear.
I would like to see at least 30 out of this.
the fastest way to reach me would be a pm but you can post here and i will get back with you whenever i see your post

Diana+ Dreamer Camera Puts a Hold on The Digital
Even though I look forward to the megapixel number for digital cameras and cell phone cameras increasing, don't think I'm not a wistful, sometimes very old-fashioned person. I miss the look of film sometimes — its richness and romance that digital, with its sharp edges and modern beauty, lacks. That's why I've been thinking about getting a film camera lately.
Urban Outfitters has a lot of vintagey cameras, but none of them have really tempted me until I saw the Diana+ Dreamer camera. An all-plastic reproduction from a '60s model, the Diana's simplicity ensures beautiful, dreamy images — think Virgin Suicides. Add to that the fact that its mint green color means it can be displayed without being an eyesore and that it comes with a Diana book filled with images and history, and you've got a sale, my friend.

Equally comedic and insightful, Letting Go of God is Sweeney's brilliant one-woman show about her struggle with her faith. Grappling with the seeming contradictions in Adam and Eve, Noah, the Ten Commandments, and even the teachings of Jesus - and trying to understand the Bible's messages about morality, family values, and human suffering while faced with door-knocking Mormons and wise-cracking priests - Sweeney takes listeners on her very personal journey from God to "not-God".
This performance was recorded on November 19, 2005, at the Ars Nova Theatre in New York City.
Julia Sweeney was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1989-94, and is best known for the mysteriously androgynous character, "It's Pat!". She has also served as a consulting producer on Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives. Letting Go of God is her third monologue. She performed her first, God Said, "Ha!", in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and on Broadway, as well as in a film produced by Quentin Tarantino. The CD version was nominated for a Grammy.
There's lots more Julia Sweeney available at Audible®! Just click here to download In the Family Way, her appearances on This American Life, her Un-Cabaret performances, and other great programs.
©2006 Julia Sweeney; (P)2006 Julia Sweeney
"Searing and bracingly funny....Letting Go of God is refreshingly unrancorous, lucid and, yes, inspirational." (The New York Times)
"Letting Go of God is a gale-force breath of fresh air into the mostly political dialogue about religion in our time." (Los Angeles Times)
it's a sad book. In her search for God she looked in every religion, except in the one right place. I am an average Muslim, and i was able to answer all of her questions.
she then questions the truth of the bible and its accuracy. She discovers that it has been edited so many times in so many ways. Everybody knows that. (That is why God sent the Quran.)
"Thoroughly Uplifting"
For anyone who has a doubt over their religious viewpoint please download this audiobook. It is highly entertaining and clearly cuts through the absurdity of organised religion of any denomination. Julias style is light hearted but with a bite when needed. Thoroughly uplifting and highly recommended.
"What a joy!"
I downloaded this recording after seeing Julia Sweeney recommended by Phil Plait (aka Bad Astronomer) and I would strongly echo his recommendation. This is intelligent, moving and frequently laugh-out-loud funny, all in a short space of time. Julia describes her personal journey of discovery from the Catholicism of her early life, through other types of spirituality and finally to atheism. With both humour and humility, she is able to convey the joy and increased sense of wonder, awe and mystery that can be delivered by a deeper understanding of science and freedom from religion.

Posted: Saturday, December 29, 2012 -- 5:19 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Madison police say a woman tried to shoot her husband but the gun misfired.
The 46-year-old man woke up last Saturday to see a revolver pointed at him. A police spokesman tells The Capital Times the man's wife smashed his cellphone after seeing some text messages on it, and then pulled the trigger.
The gun didn't fire, and the husband took the gun away and emptied it.
Police say the woman threw some pots and pans at her husband, then got into an SUV to leave. The man's car was parked behind her SUV, so she started ramming the car.
Officers arrived and arrested the 46-year-old woman. She was taken to the Dane County Jail.

How to Start A Marijuana Dispensary in Colorado
Colorado Medical Marijuana Dispensary Licenses
To become a dispensary in Colorado, you will need to apply for an Colorado Medical Marijuana Occupational Business License.
Before applying, however, you will need to set up a legal business with all licensing required to operate the dispensary.
So the first thing to do is to select your business structure. They will ask you for a trade name registration if you are a sole proprietor or partnership, and the corporate certificate for LLC or corporation. You will also need to obtain a federal tax ID number and a seller's permit because marijuana sales are taxable.
After you obtain these registration, you will be ready to apply for a Colorado State Medical Marijuana Occupational License.

Pine Street in Winnipeg was renamed Valour Road in honour of a trio of soldiers, who lived on that street and showed the ultimate in heroism in the First World War.
One of the three was Sgt.-Maj. Frederick William Hall — and his Oakville nieces are proud to be travelling back to Manitoba to see their late uncle honoured again this August.
Gail Cargo, 89, and Joan Hall-Paulseth, 85, will journey to Winnipeg Wednesday, Aug. 6 where Hall's sacrifice, which saw the Canadian soldier posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross during the First World War, will be commemorated. It's part of national efforts marking the centennial of the First World War.
Hall served with the 8th (Winnipeg Rifles) Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
On April 24, 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres in Belgium, the soldier heard a wounded comrade calling for help in 'no man's land' — the area between the trenches of the opposing armies.
According to a biography provided by Canada's National Defence website, Hall and two other soldiers tried to get to the man under heavy fire from the German trenches.
The first attempt failed and the two other soldiers were wounded in the process.
A few minutes later, Hall made a second try on his own, even though he knew the enemy was waiting.
He got to the soldier and was lifting him up to take him back to his trench when he was shot in the head and killed. He was only 30 years old.
The fate of the soldier Hall tried to help is unclear although some reports indicate he was also fatally injured.
Hall posthumously received the Victoria Cross, Canada's highest military decoration, for his actions that day. Cargo told the Oakville Beaver while she never knew her uncle, she is proud of what he did and glad he is being recognized in his home city.
"We're very excited about what is going on," she said. "For years there wasn't much said about it, but with the 100th anniversary (of the beginning of the First World War) coming up, there's more interest."
Cargo said not much information about her uncle has survived to present day. She said he was born in Kilkenny, Ireland and joined the British Army serving in India before immigrating to Canada. He enlisted in the Canadian Army following the outbreak of the First World War.
Cargo said she and her sister inherited Hall's Victoria Cross following the death of her father. However, while she said it was nice to hold such an important piece of Canadian history in her hands, she decided to donate it to the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.
Hall's Victoria Cross along with those of two other Winnipeg First World War soldiers will be making their way to that Manitoba city for the commemoration ceremony. Cargo said all three Victoria Cross recipients lived on the same street.
"It had been called Pine Street, but it was renamed Valour Road," she said. "This ceremony in August will recognize all three of these men."
The other two soldiers were Leo Clarke and Robert Shankland.
Only Shankland survived the war.
Cargo, a former schoolteacher, who has taught young people about the First World War, said it is essential for people to remember this destructive conflict and those who fought and died in it.
"I think it is important young people realize what other generations have gone through to keep our country the way it is and to keep them safe," she said.
Hall's actions were reenacted during part of a Heritage Minute film, which ran on Canadian television stations and in cinemas during the previews, beginning in 1991.
The film, which does not include Hall's death, can be seen at www.historicacanada.ca/content/heritage-minutes/valour-road.

The Lincoln Journal Star says the city took the first step on Wednesday toward banning new clubs.
The Lincoln Lancaster-County Planning Commission voted to recommend changing the zoning code to
prohibit "sexually oriented live entertainment establishments" in the downtown business district.
The proposed change now goes to the City Council, whose initial approval of downtown strip club started
the effort to change the law.
The council last month allowed the strip club to relocate to a vacant space.
The club later withdrew its application, but efforts
to change the zoning law continued.
Supporters say downtown Lincoln has changed, with more family-oriented entertainment available.

Gambling can become an addiction, one that affects us all. Even cats.
Who was Jimmy Kimmel censoring two years ago? Find out!
Beach season has begun, so it's time to remind everyone that oceans are powerful forces of nature.
Cats have many enemies — dogs are the obvious one, but they have several other rivalries as well.
Let's be honest: the real reason to watch the news is to see the bloopers. We don't know when they'll happen, but when they do it's like winning the lottery.
Ah, we can remember the first time we tried a Warhead. Especially our cheeks, which have never been the same.
Cats love to squeeze into tight spaces: barely open drawers, the gap between the wall and the couch, and, of course, cat-size jars.
When Jimmy Kimmel bleeps and blurs a perfectly innocent statement, the result is hilarious!
Juggling is really hard, so maybe adding fire and chainsaws and knives and stuff like that isn't such a great idea for the non-expert.
Jimmy Kimmel is having a new batch of celebrities read mean tweets about themselves!
Forget about imagining what life would be like if dogs could talk. Let's think a little more 21st century and see what life would be like if dogs could text.

Hi Spring is here with a bang! All of a sudden, we wake to the singing of birds, light and a feeling that it is great to be alive. I used to think September was my favourite month, but now it is April with its promise of the long summer ahead. Maybe the early burst og sun, maybe the thought of holidays, maybe even exchanging my coat for a jacket and my trousers for a skirt. Lovely to leave black behind and exchange it for a touch of navy, a hint of opal, the luxury of cream-luscious colour to take the place of being sensible! It seems as if you feel the same way-our early range of silver and cerise is fast selling out, and so is watercolour, with its soft opal paired with ivory, grey and the merest hint of black. We have add some key items to our navy and vanilla theme in heritage, and now have a beatiful buttermilk chiffon trouser and camisole to add to the navy and vanilla shrug, you have bought for that summer wedding to take you on to the summer holiday you have promised yourself beneath the bright lights of the Med. don't forget our matching jewellery , with the exclusive range we have commissioned from Hummingbird-which co-ordinates exactly with each colour combo in the range.
Panama is on the way in the steel tones of the canal, combined with navy and ivory--casual jersey pieces combined with silky pinafores and tunics. Juxtaposed is Coral Reef-the rich colours of the barrier reef, with its stunning turquoise ocean and the aweinspiring coral -our exclusive print on pure silk is being released this week, together with coral dresses to brighten up the summer. Fnally tobacco rose is on its way for May, khaki and neutral tones in casual tops and shrugs, and linen tops and dresses with large roses, are perfectly paired with linen and stretch cotton trousers. Begin that Easter Hunt by looking for these items online and then instore. Our newsletter will give special details of our online and Easter competition with a prize in each store for 7 lucky winners--not forgetting another online. i promised this year we would have some specials-this time its champagne and Belgian chocolates! An Easter Eggs-stravaganza!
Dazzling days ahead with chesca!

Our vintage range will join our watercolour range, launched last week into store-a diverse cornucopia of opal poppies, lace and jersey.
