SHANGHAI Chinas environmental protection ministry has set steel capacity reduction targets for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and its surrounding areas in a bid to improve the countrys air quality.
This follows a similar plan announced by Hebei provinces local government earlier this month (amm.com, Sept. 13), the same day the State Council unveiled a national plan toward the same goal.
Tianjin city and Shandong province, which borders Hebei, were ordered to reduce their steel capacity to 20 million tonnes and 50 million tonnes, respectively, by the end of 2017, the ministry said Sept. 22.
Shanxi province, which lies to the west of Hebei, needs to cut 6.7 million tonnes of capacity by the end of 2017.
"(The plan) is expected since these areas all have large, energy-intensive capacity and are close to Beijing. But the ordered reduction is not very large compared with that of Hebei province (which aims to cut 60 million tonnes of capacity)," an analyst based in the Chinese capital said.
Tianjin, Shandong and Shanxi last year produced 21.24 million tonnes, 59.57 million tonnes and 39.5 million tonnes of crude steel, respectively, according to local data provider Custeel.
In addition to the capacity reduction targets, the Chinese government will also implement stricter regulations for selected industries.
New projects for industries facing overcapacity, including steel, cement, aluminum, flat glass and shipbuilding, wont be approved in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and its surrounding areas, the ministry said.
The effectiveness of the plan remains to be seen.
"There have been (plans) on a similar topic almost every year, but there are always projects being approved for some reason. Therefore, we will wait and see the actual effect from this one," Xu Huimin, an aluminum analyst at Shanghai-based Huatai Great Wall Futures Co. Ltd., said.

Eight former TierOne Bank officials are being sued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. because regulators say the board members and executives improperly approved risky loans in Las Vegas that contributed to the bank's failure.
The FDIC says more than three-quarters of $200 million of loans in Las Vegas the board reviewed went bad.
TierOne failed in 2010 after concealing the extent of its real estate losses. Its assets were sold to Great Western Bank.
Attorney Gregory Scaglione, who represents former CEO Gil Lundstrom and another executive, says the former bank officials shouldn't be held personally responsible for these loans because they weren't negligent.
Scaglione says regulators and shareholders approved TierOne's plan to start lending in new markets like Las Vegas and Florida.

I just started a new raiding guild and I'm looking for information on getting started as quickly as possible. I've got experience raiding through Magtheridon and leading Kara.
The biggest hurdle so far has been recruiting. I expect my guild members to spec for raiding even at the early level of raiding. This loses some recruits (mostly rogues who want to be hemo and other bad raiding specs), but I've had trouble finding healers, period.
What are some strategies that you used early on to get recruits for raiding?

Police in Hazard are asking citizens to keep a watchful eye for crime in the community and they are giving them plenty of resources to do it.
It is an initiative Hazard P.D. will use to focus on community-oriented policing.
Police Chief Minor Allen says it's not a new idea, community oriented policing has been around for years, but now he wants to focus more on that to help put a stop to crime in Hazard.
Chief Allen has only held this position since the beginning of the year, but he's already determined to make change.
He decided to get the community involved.
"By co-operation with your community like that, you are getting better information, information quicker," Chief Allen said.
Now the citizens of Hazard will be able to submit anonymous tips via the web or in "tip boxes" the chief plans to place around town. He says this will help make his department and the citizens of Hazard more aware of crime.
So far he says they've seen a positive response and volunteers have been happy to help.
Chief Allen says he knows this won't put a stop to all crime in the community, but he hopes it puts a dent in one of the biggest problems here in Hazard and he says that's drugs.
In addition to boxes and online tips, Hazard Police are holding community meetings to discuss problems in the area.
Their next meeting will be held on February 29th at Roy G. Eversole Middle School.

There are an awful lot of Louboutin-inspired ruffle front shoes out there, and there have been for some time. But I do like this style by Redherring, which has a real solidity to it that's all the more impressive when you consider they're on sale for just £24.50.

Certainly one of the more interesting trends this year, it was Miu Miu who lead the field in the ol' stick-a-ruffle-anywhere competition, which is why this unusual court takes out our Number 6 spot. A lovely blend of neutral patent palettes, which was popular

Ok. I get it. Ruffles are in. But Marc? Mr Jacobs? Are you listening? This time you've gone too far. Now, I'm all for high fashion footwear, but this is ridiculous. I'm begging you, Marc, stop producing such ugly boots! I thought you'd take heed after our last

It's going to be a ruffle-filled autumn/winter if designers have anything to say about it. We've seen them on heels; on vamps, care of Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu; and the latest to join their ranks is Olivia Morris. We've already showcased her geometric print flats,

[QUOTE=GreenJoe;4473859]From what I've read over the past few years, it takes three years for a D-Lineman to fully develop.
Luckily, this is just year 2 for Ellis. He should be seeing more snaps this season, especially in the 2nd half.
Next season will be year 3 for him, and if he's continuing to progress he should be a very nice addition to the line.
In the grand scheme of things, this isn't so bad![/QUOTE]
By fully develop do you mean reach his peak? Dline is one of the few positions (like RB) that you can come in and play at a high level straight out of college.
Ellis like all rookies was affected by the lack of a full camp, but by the end of the year he should have been up to speed.

Home ⋅ Unique Baby Shower Invitations ⋅ Animals ⋅ Gender Reveal ⋅ Sip & See or Tea Party
"I bought these for my daughter's baby shower. I have gotten so many compliments on them. My husband and I are throwing the shower so they were perfect because they weren't too feminine that he couldn't take it."
"The quality of the card is very high and beautiful. Has an organic feel. The company is very professional and prompt with delivery, even to Australia. Overall very happy with my invitations."
"I was thrilled with these invitations. The quality of the paper and printing was excellent (as were the felt paper envelopes). The die cut (rounded edges) was perfect - no ragged edges or wonky trimming. Customization was easy - there is just enough room to be succinct and cover the important details. The design is perfectly matched to the nursery theme - it's modern without being too "hard." Colors can be unisex, which is nice. Would definitely recommend!"
"I did a simple personalization - no color changes - for a New Years Brunch. The cards have a nice weight, look and feel to them. Order in plenty of time if you are having the company address and mail the invitations, as my copy came several days before the expected date of the guests. I have tried evite invitation and received no response for several people. I only had one guest not respond to this invitation."
"We used these for my sister's baby shower, because we wanted to use the term "mommy to bee" and most of the invitations were just too cutesy. This wound up working perfectly! We changed the color of the body text to a girlier font, ad it really looks great!"

|28 Sep 2009
Hey guys sorry to bump this again but I got it working in case someone else runs into the same issue on Windows 7 x64.
Trick was to install it and update to the latest patch available on their website, not the one you download through PowerDVD itself. It seems to be an older one but it fixes all issues with the original release and it works 100% with windows 7 x64.
CyberLink.5105_TaRe42_DVD090217-02 is the latest patch you can only get through powerdvd self updater and it does not work. In fact it will remove powerdvd completely.
CyberLink.4617a_TaRe38_DVD081201-07 is the latest patch you find on their website and it works great!
Hope this helps anyone with the same issue and thanks again for all the help guys

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd., the biggest maker of silicon-based solar modules, said it may reduce some of its manufacturing output in the first quarter of next year because of a seasonal dip in demand.
"We're running at full capacity right now, but sometimes in the first quarter there is some seasonality in demand," Chief Executive Officer Zhengrong Shi said in an interview in Singapore today. "We might reduce some" capacity in the first quarter, he said.
The Chinese company has led the industry in ramping up production capacity, depressing the cost of solar cells. That's helped drive demand while reducing margins for manufacturers. First Solar Inc., Suntech's biggest U.S. rival, cut its earnings outlook last week.
Shi said he expected a surge in new orders in Germany in the final quarter of this year after the government said it would reduce subsidies paid through a so-called feed-in tariff in January 2012.
"When there's an announcement in the reduction of feed-in tariffs, there'll usually be a rush of installations," he said. "Yes, we're seeing this at the moment," in Germany, Shi said.
He also expects the industry to consolidate further as smaller producers combine to cope with slimmer margins.
"The market is already consolidating because customers are flying to quality, track record, bankability," Shi said. "The top six manufacturers had 55 percent of the market share in the second quarter. Last year, it was 26 percent. So you're already seeing that."

November 23, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt has filed a legal brief in the U.S. Supreme Court's review of an Oklahoma abortion law.
The nation's highest court in June granted Pruitt's request to review a decision by the state Supreme Court declaring the law unconstitutional. Pruitt filed his brief Tuesday.
The U.S. Supreme Court has asked the state Supreme Court to clarify whether the state law would ban the use of certain abortion-inducing drugs. The measure that was struck down requires physicians to administer abortion-inducing drugs in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration protocol.
The FDA says thousands of women have had life-threatening complications and at least eight have died from the "off-label" use of the abortion-inducing drug. Pruitt says the state was within its authority to enact the law.

June 26, 2014
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - One-half of a highway intended to bring economic development to three southwest counties that are home of Virginia's declining coal economy is headed to a full environmental review.
The Federal Highway Administration ordered the review because a 26-mile section of the Coalfields Expressway has been rerouted, after the entire 50-mile length of the highway had already undergone an environmental review in 2001.
Critics say the rerouting benefits coal companies at the expense of local communities that were to be served, taking the road instead to untapped coal reserves. The state maintains that the shift reflects a public-private partnership that trims billions from the cost of the highway.
The coal companies plan to convert previously mined areas into roadbed.
The environmental review is expected to be completed within 18 months. It will look at environmental and economic effects as well as alternative routes.
"We hope that once the alternatives are fully considered, as well as the original purpose of the road project itself, a different choice will be made," Deborah Murray of the Southern Environmental Law Center said Thursday of the rerouted section.
Murray, a senior attorney with the law center, said the long-planned project was designed to serve local communities and to "diversify the economy with coal declining in the area."
When completed, the expressway would run from Buchanan County to Raleigh County in West Virginia. The expressway would serve two other Coalfields counties - Dickinson and Wise - and carve though the region's rugged, hilly terrain, connecting it with interstates. Most of the region is served by twisting two-lane roads.
The idea behind the expressway is to make the region more accessible to new industries as well as tourists.
Jane Branham of Southern Appalachia Stewards said economically depressed coal communities "desperately need" a link to new economic opportunities. The region suffers, she said, from a lack of public transportation.
"We're not against a road," Branham said of opposition to the rerouted 26-mile section. "But I think it's designed to benefit coal and not the communities. We have nothing compared to Richmond and other places. We want that money to come here."
Michelle Earl, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Transportation in the southwest district office, said the highway will have 24 access points along its entire route. She said the partnership with the coal industry reduces the cost of the project from $5.1 billion to $2.8 billion.
Only 2 miles of the highway have been built to date.

Slice-prone swings and inconsistent putting strokes meet their demise at Green Valley Golf Range, where guests crush golf balls at an 80-station driving range and sends putts through a tricky mini-golf course. The range boasts towering lights and 20 covered, heated hitting stalls to furnish practice at night, during inclement weather, and through the eternal ice age of the future. The practice facility?which also encompasses a putting green, chipping area, and sand trap?replaces its golf balls every year, ensuring quality equipment for players' enjoyment. The practice facility also houses a virtual golf entertainment experience that allows golfers to play I-tee golf games in which they can compete on courses around the world.
A lighthouse, a pint-sized car, and other old-fashioned obstacles await players at the mini-golf course, a circuit best conquered with laser-like focus attained with the help of Green Valley's complimentary coffee. Clubbers can replenish energy stores zapped after a long day of practice or bench-pressing their driver with a soft-serve ice-cream cone, a slice of Rosati's pizza, or a hot dog, all of which are sold in the Green Valley Ice Cream Shoppe. Adult libations including beer and wine are also available while big-screen TVs broadcast the latest sporting events.
Glowing monkeys scamper toward a neon waterfall, and a knight bearing a radiant yellow lance rides past a bright orange octopus emerging from the ocean. What appears to be a time-traveling session gone awry is really the evolving environment within Putting Edge's indoor black-lit mini-golf course, which whisks players to deep seas, Aztec jungles, and medieval times. Since opening its original location in Canada, Putting Edge has now expanded to 16 North American locations, all of which invite guests onto its challenging 18-hole courses to seek victory over opponents and the forces that keep their teeth from not glowing as brightly as they could. Elsewhere, the facility houses private party rooms, concessions, and an arcade filled with gamer favorites such as air hockey.
In the winter, it looks as though an alien spacecraft has touched down at Links & Tees Golf Facility. Within this futuristic structure—actually an inflatable golf dome whose three layers trap heat—PGA professionals teach lessons and golfers practice their snow-clearing swings. This impressive indoor facility—along with an outdoor driving range that boasts more than 50 hitting stations, a 10,000-square foot putting green, and a 5,000-square foot chipping green—has repeatedly landed Links & Tees among Golf Range Magazine's Top 100 Golf Practice Facilities.
After warming up at the range, golfers can take to the tees and bentgrass fairways of a nine-hole executive course, where three ponds snatch up balls and a smattering of sand bunkers tempt hungry golfers to stop and dig for clams. They can also head for Putter's Peak, an 18-hole miniature-golf course where tiki statues line fairways, the rumble of a Lilliputian waterfall fills the air, and putters must venture into the dark depths of a cave. After either a miniature or executive round of golf, visitors can pull off the plate armor that protects against mis-aimed balls, put down their clubs, and pick up a hot dog or pizza at the 4,000-square-foot clubhouse.
Course at a Glance: * Nine-hole, par-27 course * Length of 1,709 yards * Course rating of 35.5 * Slope rating of 113 * Link to course layout
It's not every town that can lay claim to its own water park. Carol Stream's Coral Cove Water Park makes summers splashier for residents and visitors from less-lucky towns with its huge expanse of aquamarine waters, interrupted only by slides and other fun attractions. * For adventurers: two towering, twisty tube slides; a plunge pool with drop slide and diving board; a 15-ft. climbing wall * For little ones: the shallow end of the massive walk-in pool; an interactive water playground complete with drop bucket and toddler-size slide; a dry playground * For sunbathers and reptiles: Lounge chairs dot a deck and grassy hill. * Food options: pizza, Italian food, salad, and ice cream at RoccoVino's poolside cafe * Lifeguard safety rating: five stars, one for each sense they use to perceive potential dangers
Looking to put a new spin on a classic family activity, the minds behind Glowgolf decided to give the game a phosphorescent update. Incandescent courses place friends and family amid a tropical-fantasy golf world of neon orange, green, and violet surroundings. Players putt luminous orbs through vibrant treasure chests and glimmering windmills while negotiating tricky obstacles near walls portraying black-light-lit aquatic scenes. With more than 20 locations spread over 10 states, Glowgolf's fluorescent labyrinths challenge human players and traveling gnomes.
Several years ago, during a filming of WTTW's Wild Chicago, Novelty Golf & Games owner Craig's brother stood next to a 10-foot fiberglass chicken and lamented, "This is the world's loneliest chicken." Its match had recently been stolen, and every fiberglass fox in the city had a solid alibi.
Shortly after the taping, a viewer called in with a tip: he'd seen the missing hen roosting in a backyard, clearly visible from the window of the Brown Line train. Boarding the "L" himself, Craig confirmed the spotting, and soon enough, the Loneliest Chicken's counterpart was on its way back home in the bed of a pickup truck.
Thus reunited, the two chickens stand proudly today over the 36 mini-golf holes at Novelty Golf & Games, along with the full menagerie of bears, elephants, mermaids, circus seals, and dinosaurs that the course has accumulated over the years. Some of the attractions are as old as the course itself, including a 15-foot fiberglass shoe hand-built over a chicken-wire frame. While the statues are often replicated, Craig and his staff continue to design new obstacles the only way they know how, often sharing margaritas as they sketch their designs on cocktail napkins. "We change things," they say, "but not for the sake of change."
The course—celebrating its 65th anniversary—has always been a place of innovation. In the 1960s, Craig's mother opened an onsite restaurant and promoted the rabbit statue on the 14th hole to head doorman, earning the eatery its perennial nickname, "Bunny Hutch." Throughout the years, the family has also acquired popular games, including four pinball machines, Dance Dance Revolution, an authentic photo booth, and a 1950s metal-stamping machine. Though they welcome each new addition, they strive to maintain the course's classic appeal, insisting that "you can't improve on perfection."
On the same token, you can't just sit idly by when perfection flies the coop.

The UN has taken a step to provide a better overview of actions taken in developing countries to cut emissions only two months before the climate change summit in Durban, South Africa. These actions may prove a source for future carbon credits.
The UNEP Risoe Centre research body, which tracks CER issuance, has published data on the National Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) pipeline for the first time in September.
Regional breakdown
In total, UNEP Risoe lists 101 projects, all approved in 2010. The data shows that almost half of these projects, or 44%, are registered in Africa.
Asia Pacific is in second place with 23%, and Latin America ranks third among the regions with 19% of the listed projects.
Only 10% are listed in Europe and Central Asia, 5% in the Middle East.
A formal NAMA registry has faced long delays. NAMAs are loose political concepts, created under the Bali Action Plan at an UN-led summit in December 2007.
While the pipeline is not an official NAMA registry, it offers an informal overview of projects submitted as NAMAs around the world.
This pipeline is expected to grow, the UNEP Risoe said on its website. "As this is early days in NAMA development, the site is expected to develop over the coming months as the NAMA agenda spreads and countries develop ideas for [actions]," UNEP Risoe adds.
Future credits for a global system?
NAMAs offer the potential to create new carbon credits within regional emission trading systems, as developing countries start to set up market mechanisms to combat climate change under a post-Kyoto global protocol climate-change system, negotiators have indicated (see EDCM 8 June 2011).
In total, the UN has provided for 25 different types of NAMAs. One type of NAMA would generate credits that could be sold on the international carbon market and pay for the mitigation actions. This could link the credits from different regional schemes and create a global market − at top of investors' wish lists - but this will take time, analysts have warned (see EDCM 8 June 2011).
The next UN climate change summit will take place in Durban, South Africa, from 28 November to 9 December. Countries will aim to negotiate a potential post-Kyoto deal. MLDB

A heavy pastiche of American sci-fi worked over with an anime aesthetic and tempered with sentai trappings, Bubblegum Crisis was not just popular in Japan but also proved to be one of the biggest hits of the first wave of subtitled anime releases in the west. Unfairly labeled as "cyberpunk," Bubblegum Crisis draws far more inspiration from the likes of Ridley Scott and James Cameron than William Gibson and Bruce Sterling and proves to be a bit more complicated than a simple one-word label could describe, combining 1980s sci-fi, anime and Streets of Fire.
Blade Runner stands out as the foremost inspiration for ARTMIC's OAV series, with the first few minutes of the first episode mimicking the opening shot of the famous 1982 future-noir movie. It isn't hard to spot more Blade Runner references in Bubblegum Crisis, as everything from the the omnipresent mega corporation Genom to the name of one of the main characters bearing homage to the Ridley Scott film.
It might be easy to dismiss Bubblegum Crisis as being highly derivative, as its creators were obviously influenced by a wide range of sources. But what makes the series stand out is the care with which these disparate elements are put together: the celluoid lovechild of Japanese creators who spent their childhood watching Japanese sentai television programs and later introduced to foreign science fiction films like Blade Runner or Mad Max. Less a pathetic mimicry, more a tribute to the films and TV that they love.
The series focuses on a post-modern Super Sentai vigilante group called the Knight Sabers who are devoted to fighting the mega corporation Genom, except for when they're forced to take side jobs to pay the bills. Although the intentions of the Knight Sabers or their founder/leader Sylia Stingray are never overtly stated, it likely has something to do with their creation of advanced Boomer androids (who are mechanical as opposed to Tyrell Corporation's replicants, which are seemingly organic) and may or not have been responsible for the death of Sylia's father.
While the setting of Mega Tokyo circa 2033 may have been trying for a Blade Runner Los Angeles circa 2020 aesthetic, in truth it doesn't that look that much different from modern Tokyo. The "Mega" in the name signifies that it's not just futuristic, but that it's been rebuilt after the Great Kanto Quake of 2019 that leveled the capital, a catastrophic event barely acknowledged during the series save for a neighborhood built within a gigantic fault.
As there are evil coporations and dangerous robots running amock, so to must there be a Blade Runner-esque force designed specifically to deal with the technological menace. Resembling less the trench coat-wearing detectives of noir favored by Blade Runner, Bubblegum Crisis' AD Police prefers to take inspiration from ALIENS' over-armed Colonial Marines because everyone knows the best way to destroy a rampaging robot is to subdue it with massive firepower and cause massive collateral damage.
Other influences are easy to spot, and I shouldn't have to waste too much time pointing out one of the Knight Sabers is named Priss and she is in a band called The Replicants, or that the fourth episode is about a guy named Gibson building a car to exact revenge on a biker gang. What you might not notice is the heavy musical inspiration from the cult film Streets of Fire, or that the Knight Sabers are just an all-girl Super Sentai team with transformable motorcycles instead of combining robots in the shape of animals, dinosaurs or cars.
The Super Sentai aspect may be one of the more subdued aspects of Bubblegum Crisis, as it's more thematic rather than visual. But the members of the Knight Sabers still need to balance their regular lives with their secret responsibilities, although their personal lives often end up interfering in their clandestine purposes.
It isn't hard to attribute the series' popularity among early western fans to the simple fact that there wasn't a whole lot else being released at the time, but the Bubblegum Crisis succeeded in being far more compelling than many of its action/sci-fi OAV contemporaries. It's clear from the music, designs and scripts that more effort went into the average 80's OAV, even if newer fans may have a hard time seeing it as anything more than an old relic.
A testament to its popularity at the time can be seen in fan activity, which not only included the creation of a series-specific newsgroup (alt.fan.bgcrisis– which still gets sporadic activity) and the frightening amount of fanfiction based on the series. The Bubblegum Crisis Fan Fiction Guide lists 350 separate stories, some of which are different from the 400 stories housed at the Bubblegum Crisis fanfiction archives on eyrie.org.
Next time: The music, unfinished continuity and sequels of Bubblegum Crisis.

I always saw alot of Walter Hill in this series as well.
Sitll waiting for part 2. You know you really need to discuss the beauty that it is Bubble Gum Crisis 2040.
> Jack
True Fact: I've never seen 2040, not even a single episode. It came out during the few years I took a complete break from watching anime, and most of my appreciation for BGC comes from the aesthetics of the time in which it was made, so I have very little interest in checking it out.
Thats very wise, considering how somewhat ugly and stupid the show was when I re-visited it.
Not Konaka Chiaki's finest hour, for sure. They made a good decision early on making Linna the central character, but then it just lost focus and descended into what I think is technically called a "spiral of wank".
Plus they ruined the character designs. BGC without huge puffy hair and Linna's 80s sweatband isn't really BGC.
BGC OVAs were awesome. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the F'UGLY tv series which changed the characters we loved in the OVAs. Frankly I never connected w/the characters in 2040 and I hate the music too. To each their own but just remember if it was not for the ground breaking contributions the BGC OVAs made, the TV would never even become a wet dream.
Where's the second part of this piece?
From what I can remember Bubblegum Crisis 2040 was pretty good BUT I saw it a long time ago in SPANISH on Locomotion
I never saw the original so I might watch it now
"one of the Knight Sabers is named Priss and she is in a band called The Replicants"
Oh man I never thought about it until now!!! and I love Blade Runner
There's a small mistake in the post. The earthquake didn't occur in 2019, but in 2025.

Artist Spotlight: Esther Morrison Smith
Esther Smith, is a multi-talented and versatile individual.
She uses a variety of mediums to create her pieces, and approaches her art in several very distinctive ways. Let's start with the most unusual: using Citra Solv, which is a cleaning product made from orange peels that is used to alter pages from National Geographic magazines. Once applied to selected pages, new images are created which are then interpreted by Esther into her own creation.

You just have to keep moving forward
through the fear.
If we had certainty,
if we could control the outcome
the risk wouldn't be there
and without the risk
the growth does not run deep.
And believe me, it would
not be nearly as fun, or

not to promise trust,
or safety. Art is not safe

love it very pretty colors and big enough for our huge bed
it is beautiful
I am pleased with the quilt, very well made. the size is very generous, wished the background was a lighter shade, would make the colors show brighter
This quilt is very well made and has a great feel to it. The super size king feature is a big plus. I highly recommend the quilt.
When it came I was initially disconcerted that the fabrics did not exactly match the picture, but nevertheless it was close enough and quite beautiful so that sending it back was unthinkable. Outstanding workmanship.

A recent Tumblr image of "men taking up too much space on a train" caught my eye... two men on a subway train, legs splayed out, penning in a tightly compressed, contained woman. I think it struck me as extra funny because I've had that "overflowing" experience with my husband on plane trips, his body spilling freely past his seat, me politely contained in my spot. I (affectionately) call him "Mr. Elbows". But aside from making me identify a cultural curiosity within my own marriage, that image also got me thinking about myself as a woman and how I make myself be seen and heard in the world.
Then, last week, enjoying my morning walk on a local trail, I noticed a similar male vs female phenomena as I passed other walkers on the path. As men approached other walkers they stayed center to the trail, while nearly every woman moved aside. The men greeted each passerby with confident "good mornings," while women spoke it more gently, often in response to someone else saying it first, and also frequently with a rather apologetic smile. I became hyper-aware of my own greetings. Did I greet first? Second? Did I use a quiet, timid voice or a confident, assertive voice? Did I move aside, or did we equally share the trail?

Of course that made me wonder, as an interior designer, how can my work help women (or introverted men) be seen and heard?
For me, my home is an integral part to how I begin my day. When I wake up in my home, I smile as I look around my bedroom. It is tidy, sensual, and looks onto my beautiful woodsy yard. From the moment I wake, I feel supported, present, affirmed, clear about who I am.
By feeling supported at home, I leave the house with my head higher, shoulders back, and then speak to strangers, colleagues and clients with more confidence. My clothes and colors, the cleanliness of my car, my smile, they all remind me that I'm Rebecca West and I have a place in this world. I have every right to every inch of my plane seat, to an equal share of the trail. I have a right to be seen and heard.
On the other hand, if you wake up to a home that looks like it belongs to someone else, or to a room that is stuck in a moment in your history that is past or hurtful, or to a place that is falling apart and speaks of failure and not success, you will, naturally, start your day off in a very different place and have to work harder to hold those shoulders back and demand your place in the sunshine. That's not to say it can't be done - people do it every day - but why not start you day off in a place of support and love?
In the end, I don't want anyone, male or female, to diminish their power. There is room enough for all of us to be confident, and each of us have the responsibility to speak up and take up a good chunk of space in this world. I mean, if you don't take the space, someone else probably will. Why not make the moment yours? And in a world where every magazine cover would have you believe you're not tall enough, sexy enough, or smart enough, you have to create spaces that smile back at you, that say YOU ARE ENOUGH! - spaces that encourage you to stake a claim in your life. Whether that starts at home, in your closet, or in your cubicle, it's time to be seen and heard. No apologies.
I may not be the next "Ms. Elbows," but plan to share the road (or trail) with me!

Aussie web host sells up after devastating hack
Distressed domain hosting outfit Distribute.IT and its offshoot Click n Go have been acquired by larger competitor the Netregistry Group after a systematic hack attack brought down the company's operations. Neither party have disclosed the sale price or customer numbers but it is clear Distribute.IT's priority was to ensure …
Not how I would have put it
"It is important to us that all Distribute.IT customers know the extent of effort to which Distribute IT have gone to rectify the damage. Distribute.IT had a very solid reputation – that comes from doing a good job for a long time."
I don't think having weak enough security for all your servers to be wiped and your online backups scrapped would count as "doing a good job for a long time". I would class it more along the lines of "pissing into the wind and eventually copping a face full". It would seem that circumstances eventually caught up with them.
I would like to know more of the details regarding this so called "hack"
Cloud = Rain!
"That said we feel that as a strong market leader within the industry, we are in a position to offer a stable cloud infrastructure solution to the thousands of customers whose business and livelihoods have been affected."
Remember, your data is completely safe in the cloud or with external providers who always know better than you. Nothing bad could ever happen to *your* data.
Unless the external provider is worse than your support in house, don't secure their systems properly and don't bother to properly do unimportant, old fashioned things like tape backups because that's old school stuff which isn't needed in the new Web 2.0 utopian world because of "new technology"!
