Fountain house
Reexamining the fountain: In contemporary urban as well as cultural discussions we see a renaissance of the idea of common space, in german either translated as "Allmende" or "Gemeinschaft" depending on a relationship towards (city) space or social structures. This is related to the dipole of the private vs. the public as the two dominant categories of the 20th century. Now in the 21st century we find many ways of being together as part of daily life, be it through social media or through community gardens or similar locally rooted projects.

Am I missing something or is it that if we go back 13 years no one would have guess…
a) Simon Pegg co-starring in a Huge Hollywood Blockbuster
b) Huge Laurie being a heartthrob in USA
c) Ricky Gervais loses weight?!
13 years ago Ricky had a crappy 3 minute slot on the 11 O'Clock show. Now he's hosted the Golden Globes three years in a row.

Director Saschka Unseld and Producer Marc Greenberg Talk THE BLUE UMBRELLA, Using Handheld Camera Movements in Animation, and More
by Adam Chitwood Posted 1 year, 55 days ago
Though Pixar has certainly earned a reputation for raising the bar in animation with regards to its feature film efforts, the studio also has a knack for producing excellent short films. With each new feature film release comes a new Pixar short, and this summer's Monsters University was accompanied in theaters by director Saschka Unseld's unique and photo-realistic short The Blue Umbrella—certainly one of the more artistically ambitious shorts to come out of Pixar in the studio's history. Monsters University will be available on Blu-ray and DVD this Tuesday, October 29th, and the disc comes loaded with bonus features relating not only to MU but also The Blue Umbrella. While attending the press day for the Monsters University Blu-ray at Pixar Studios in San Francisco, I had the chance to sit down with Unseld and producer Marc Greenberg, who also serves as Pixar's Vice President of Finance & Strategy.
During our conversation, Unseld and Greenberg discussed the process of getting their short attached to Monsters University, the thought process behind using handheld camera movements in the animation, the technological experimentation phase of the production, and more. Watch the video interview after the jump.

How are you all doing on this fine June night (or day)?
With the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire looming around
the corner, I thought I'd ask the following questions:
Which of your 4th, 5th, & 6th gen Pokemon do you look forward to seeing journey the Hoenn region?
Do you think some of the Characters have aged such as in HGSS games (though the photo of Roxanne might prove otherwise)?
Regardless of whether they did or did not, do you think there will be new gym leaders?
Will Secret bases return? If so, will there be any online capability to see your friends bases?
What about the battle frontier brains?!
They're so many questions to ask! Hopefully they'll soon be answered as we progress through July.
Have a bountiful and lustful day,
M. Chris

Wallmapu: Chilean police kill young weichafe (Mapuche warrior)
Tuesday, August 18 2009 @ 06:56 AM CDT
Contributed by: Collin Sick
Views: 3,009
A young Mapuche weichafe (warrior), Jaime Mendoza Collío, was killed by Chilean police on August 12. A group of weichafe were reclaiming the land that is occupied by a large farm estate, San Sebastián. Police entered the farm estate heavily armed and with force. A cop ultimately shot 24 year old Mendoza at close range. Mendoza was from the Mapuche community in conflict, Requem Pillán.
Memorial activity in Santiago for Jaime Mendoza Collío. The photograph is from the Our War collective.
Mapuche communities in conflict are reclaiming territory from large farm estates and forestry plantations. Wallmapu, Mapuche country, extends from the colonial borders of southern Chile to Argentina. The contemporary conflict is directly descendent from the war against Spanish colonizers, and later the Chilean state. The current government is actively using the antiterrorism law against Mapuche community members. The law was developed by the Pinochet military dictatorship to put down revolutionary organizations, and it permits the prosecution to employ unidentified witnesses, through the use of hidden faces and scrambled voices.
For more information in Spanish check:
País Mapuche
Confirmed premeditated murder behind the back of weichafe
translated from País Mapuche
Jaime Mendoza Collío is the name of the 24 year old weichafe murdered by police. He was from the community Requem Pillán; the peñi (brother) participated in the reclamation of the Fundo (farm estate) San Sebastián, under the control of the latifundista (large farm proprietor) Sergio González Jarpa.
The events occurred in the area of lower Malleco, near Collipulli, where militarized police from Santiago attacked community members at the estate in question. The police operation ended with eight community members detained; several of them were injured by gunshots—and all were family members of Jaime Mendoza, who was killed by a mortal shot.
According to the version of the story of the repressors, a non-commissioned police officer, Patricio Jara Muñoz, shot the Mapuche community member with a 9mm pistol in "self-defense," supposedly defending himself from a shotgun attack by the peñi.
This has been proven untrue in recent hours. Personnel from the Legal Medical Service of Angol and Temuco and the investigation by the PDI (Investigation Police), confirmed that the mortal shot entered through the back and exited the right side of the thorax, causing the instant death of Jaime Mendoza. Also, they did not find shotguns, cartridges, or other evidence that the peñi was armed.
Additionally, numerous witnesses saw that when the group fled the police, they were without arms other than their wetruwe (slings) and a few wiño (large sticks). The body of the weichafe was observed from a distance by police, who would not permit anyone to get close. This version of the story has not been successfully denied by anyone.
The carabinero (cop) is being summoned by the military prosecution, under arrest by his comrades for five days, a period of time in which the military prosecutor will decide decide whether or not to process him.
It must be remembered that the body was in the hands of police until it was turned over to Legal Medical Service. Community members went to request the body, but without anyone to mediate, they were repressed with teargas and rubber bullets by police, injuring numerous individuals, including members of the press.
Once the body was handed over to the family and community of Jaime Mendoza, the group continued to the regional government and the prosecution of Collipulli, where they manifested their condemnation. They later occupied Route 5 South, raising barricades. They entered Pidima, and later they enacted justice on a forestry plantation from the company Mininco and the house of an estate owner, Juan de Dios Fuentes
Cynicism from the Chilean government
The police branches have reinforced their watch over all of Wallmapu and the cities that have shown support for the Mapuche communities, anticipating a general condemnation of the violence from the Chilean state.
The government came out in defense of its violent actions with a discourse that ignored the premeditation on the part of police, presenting the violence as the consequence of Mapuche actions. "Nothing justifies the violence in the Araucanía and people should understand that the only path to a solution to the legitimate demands of the Mapuche community is dialogue," the government spokesperson said announcing a trip of a committee to the zone in order to "find a solution to the problems."
This murderous policy is reaffirmed by the assistant secretary of the interior, Patricio Rosende who said, "the government maintains an unwavering policy to condemn the violent events. This is not a way to solve the demands of the Mapuche communities; this only causes pain and suffering."
At this time, there is a visitation for the deceased peñi from the community Requem Pillan. The community neighbors Requem Lemun, where in 2002 the peñi Alex Lemun was killed in similar circumstances. The community has announced that the funeral will be realized this sunday.
The Chilean justice system should condemn the carabinero who pulled the trigger, but surely, the murderous policy of the state that employs a strategy to exterminate the Mapuche community will continue. Mapuche justice now.
The following is a youtube video in Spanish from a capitalist news station. The press interviewed a Mapuche witness to the events:

More reviews by cakedup82inmakeup
didn't do anything for me. won't purchase again.
My Christian Dior Skinflash radiant concealer finally bit the dust (thank goodness as I wasn't all that crazy about it) and I didn't spend the money on YSL Touche Éclat or Givenchy's highlighter/concealer pen so I got this one instead and I'm so glad I did.
I do think the Dream Lumi Touch is better used as a highlighter than a concealer. I used Buff as a concealer and I wasn't too thrilled with the lack of coverage.
I already use L'Oreal's Touche Magique concealer for undereye circles and I wanted something to highlight the inner corners. This fits the bill perfectly. I use the Nude shade for this effect (Asian, NC30/C3) and it doesn't give me the reverse raccoon look, just a nice highlighted look where I want.
I don't have an issue with staying power but I'm not super oily, just combination. (normal to slightly oily/dry)
If you're looking for a highlighter and don't want to spend the big bucks, take a look at this one. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I like this much better than my other LOreal concealer. It has a great color to conceal my under eye circles as well highlight the area i want to be highlighted. I will be buying again if I run out, but i do like the packaging because I cannot control the amount of product that comes out on the little brush, I feel like I am wasting more than I actually need.

I had purchased the Lumi Touch stick under the assumption that it was concealer with some brightening qualities. It was a bit steep for maybelline (at $12 or $13,) but since it was essentially advertised as a "2-in-1" I took a gamble.
As a concealer, I give it a 3/5. It certainly reduces the look of dark under eye circles and other blemishes, but does it truly 'conceal?' Nope, not even close. As a brightener, I'd give it 4.5/5. It adds a very nice radiancy in small doses. I would purchase this again as an illuminator, but I would recommend a separate product for any concealing purposes.
Is a great illuminator
Blends really well
Has some minimal concealing qualities
A bit pricey for a drugstore brand
Doesn't 'conceal' as it says it will

Alright guys... this is my HG undereye concealer. I have really bad circles due to genetics... very dark and my eyes are set deep so I have a large crease underneath my eyes because of my eyeballs I guess. So its very hard to cover my dark circles with a normal concealer! I have light/medium colored yellowtoned skin and use the color beige and it does an awesome job at both neutralizing the dark purplish color and blending in with my skintone. It creases a bit but I cant be too picky and lasts a pretty good time too! Love love love! If the age rewind concealer and other concealers dont work for undereyes I would extremely suggest you try this one!

Ok concealer, great highlighter that has replaced my expensive YSL Touche Eclat. I now use this in ivory instead of Touche Eclat number 2 for highlighting. Gives light coverage; more than Touche Eclat, and has a nice finish.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I disagree with reviews that say this product is more of a highlighter than a concealer. I think it conceals very well, is long-lasting and also buildable. I mainly bought it because I wanted to try a concealer with a brush applicator and have been pleased so far - very easy to dot onto blemishes, etc. If I had one warning, it would be that this product may sting if used on especially delicate or irritated skin. I use a retinoid (Tazorac) under my eyes (per Dr. recommendation) and applying this concealer stings momentarily when I put it in that area.
This concealer was just perfect, while it lasted. It blends very well and is easy to apply. But I only got 4 or 5 good uses out of it before it was empty!
Everyone keeps raving about this product, and for me, it definitely lives up to the hype. Not quite an illuminator, not quite a concealer (but with more coverage than YSL's 'Touch Eclat'), the 'Dream Lumi Touch' is great if your skin doesn't need a medium/heavy concealer, just a little bit of help to cover redness or minor dark circles. It also doesn't emphasise or 'grab' at dry patches, so it's suitable for dry skin. I use it on its own over a moisturised face on good skin days and with a Japanese BB cream on not-so-great ones for a healthy, natural, no-makeup makeup look.
HG 'concealer', highly recommended.

This product is a brightener not a concelear. If you have really dark under eyes I recommend using a higher coverage concelear and using this brightener over it. This product is wonderful on its own if you want to look more awake. This is an amazing first time brightener, it doesn't crease, easy to blend, affordable, it's easy to find at most stores that sale drugstore makeup, and the applicator is really nice/simple to control! I defiantly would recommend this product! FYI if you never tried any under eye brightener before, you defiantly should! No matter what age you are, under eye brightener (and a little mascara) can give you suuuuucccch a confident boost!!

"Took this to Easter dinner and all three loaves were gobbled up. Next day my bro put on Facebook that I make the best bread in the whole world. Thanks for the recipe!"
"I liked this but didn't love it. Maybe I expected better because of the high rating...?"
"Great recipe!"
"Very delicious! I'm making it for the 3rd time tonight."
"Ok, so I've made this twice now and it is WAY too vinegary tasting. Could barely choke it down and my stomach hurt afterward. What am I doing wrong? Both times I followed the recipe exactly. Does the vinegar have to burn off or something? Am I not cooking it long enough? I really want a good General Tso recipe."
"Wow! This was delicious. The only thing I recommend is to double the sauce."
"Tasted pretty good. I had 2 problems. First one was when I flipped the steaks after 10 minutes of frying blood seeped out and turned black so they weren't very appealing to look at. Second was the gravy was still pretty runny after boiling for some time."
"My family loved it. I didn't care for it, but I think my taste are a lot more sophisticated. It was very easy to make."
"Pretty good! Not sure if I liked the Dijon mustard on it - just a personal taste. I pan fried them rather than baked. My family seemed to have liked them alright."
"Pretty good comfort food!"

Sig Boezeman, 86, relaxes in the flower garden at his home in DeMotte, Ind. He is the third generation in his family to farm the same land along the Kankakee River. | Photo provided
Updated: September 20, 2012 6:09AM
"Morgenrood brengt water in de sloot."
(Red morning sky brings water to the ditch.)
— Dutch proverb
Sigmund Boezeman, 86, has traveled to Japan, Canada, Mexico, Austria, Germany, Italy, France, The Netherlands and to 47 states in America.
But he still lives in the house where he was born, in DeMotte.
Boezeman was married to his wife, Rhoda, for 61 years before her passing. They raised three children.
Sig, his father and his grandfather have farmed the same land along the Kankakee River. Equestrians from near and far make their way to the Boezeman place each fall, when he hosts the Northwest Indiana Carriage Ride.
Boezeman, a World War II veteran, is a member of the Newton County Historical Society and the American Reformed Church of DeMotte. His farm recently was named Riverfront Farm of the Year because of its water management and conservation practices.
Your Dutch heritage?
"My father came to the United States in 1895 when he was 4," Boezeman said.
Did your father's family come directly to the DeMotte area?
"No, they started out in Minnesota near an Indian reservation. My grandfather bought a pony off a Native American and built a house in the woods. They tried to raise produce, but the land wasn't any good, so the family moved to Kalamazoo, Mich., where they made wheels for buggies."
How did your grandparents discover the DeMotte-Thayer area?
"Through friends like the DeFries family, who already had settled here."
Has your surname been Americanized?
"There are about five ways of spelling Boezeman. Boezeman was difficult for some people to spell or pronounce. When my grandfather worked in Kalamazoo, somehow, his boss got him to change our name to Bushman.
"My grandfather told him, 'I don't care how you pronounce or spell my name, as long as I get my paycheck.'"
That's a good one.
"But, after awhile, a family member told him: 'Don't forget, you have relatives in The Netherlands who have money. If that inheritance comes here, they're not going to give it to you if your name is Bushman.' So he changed our name back to Boezeman."
"I attended Thayer Grade School and DeMotte High School. It was a two-room schoolhouse in Thayer with two teachers.
"I was a sophomore in high school when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Our principal, who also was my history teacher, walked around the classroom; there were 14 of us — nine boys. One by one, he pointed to us boys, then he sat down at his desk and said, 'Each one of you boys will be in this war.' "
"All nine of us went to war. Two of my classmates were drafted before they graduated high school."
Tell me about your time in the service.
"I was drafted into the Navy and ended up becoming a member of the Seabees. After our training in Davisville, R.I., we were put on a troop train to California; it took four days.
"There were 42 ships that went out at one time — battleships, cruisers, destroyers, destroyer escorts ... . There also were 22 personnel carriers that carried a battalion of men per ship."
How many men make up a battalion?
"A battalion is 1,800 people. There were 60,000 of us going over there at one time.
"It was smooth sailing until we got past the Hawaiian Islands into enemy territory, where we started getting into the Japanese submarines. We stopped the entire convoy and began dropping depth charges.
"We were in the backyard of Japan when they dropped the first atomic bomb (Aug. 6, 1945, on Hiroshima). It was the equivalent of 20,000 tons of dynamite. (On Aug. 9), we dropped the second bomb (on Nagasaki), and that ended the war with Japan."
Did you get to come home right away?
"No, they put me on a mine sweeper. Eventually, we made our way back to the United States, but not before we ran into a typhoon with waves as high as 35 feet. It was a scary thing.
"It took us 48 days to get back to the United States."
Well, Sig, I'm glad you made it back. As a member of the Newton County Historical Society, you were an integral part of putting together the 700-page tome "Roselawn, Thayer and Shelby, Indiana: The First 100 years."
"Yes, that project took us seven years to complete."
"I'm an avid duck and dove hunter."
Boezeman has the energy of a 21-year old. His yard, aerated pond and flower gardens are immaculate. He even mows trails throughout the original river bottom portion of his property, where he gives golf-cart tours to friends.
While in the service, he traveled 16,000 miles by water and 8,000 miles by land.
But Sig Boezeman will be the first to tell you, there's no place like home.

A field of 1,825 took part in the PokerStars 2012 World Championship of Online Poker Main Event, and following 20 levels on Day 1, only 245 remained with a chance to emerge victorious in online poker's premier event. Nearly 14 hours after players returned to the virtual felt, "maratik" from Russia outlasted the field to capture the bracelet, as well as $1,000,907.26. According to statistic site Sharkscope.com, "maratik" is a micro-stakes game grinder with more than 27,000 sit-n-go's/multitable tournaments under his belt (with an average stake of less than $3). In addition, "maratik" earned a seat in the Main Event by satelliting in through a turbo-FPP game. Parlaying that into a seven-figure score is a rags to riches story for the ages.
Among those who finished shy of the final table were Victor "Puropoker123" Lemos (10th - $57,587.50), Kyle "KJulius10" Julius (15th - $48,362.50), Calvin "cal42688" Anderson (20th - $33,762.50), Francis "The Lag rat" Anderson (24th - $33,762.50), Niklas "ragen70" Heinecker (25th - $33,762.50), and Kevin "WizardOfAhhs" Thurman (34th - $29,200).
Here is how the final table stacked up:
|Mike "munchenHB" Telker
|Phil "takechip" D'Auteuil
|Ryan "TheCart3r" Carter
|sly caveat
Departing in ninth place was "mitdadu." Down to less than five big blinds at the 50,000/100,000/12,500 level, "mitdadu" moved all in from under the gun plus two for 476,948. Ryan "TheCart3r" Carter successfully iso-shoved from the small blind and tabled , leading "mitdadu's" . The board rolled out to end "mitdadu's" Main Event.
Phil "takechip" D'Auteuil busted shortly thereafter. After "Kakalala" opened to 200,005 from middle position, D'Auteuil shoved from the small blind. Ryan Carter called all in for 2,298,678 from the big blind, "Kakalala" folded, and Carter revealed . D'Auteuil was well behind with and was crippled to less than a small blind when the board fell , which gave Carter quads. D'Auteuil was eliminated in the following hand.
"Kakalala" began the final table second in chips, but after doubling up "sly caveat" and losing a sizable pot to chip leader Mike "munchenHB" Telker, "Kakalala" was in dire straits. With the blinds and antes at 60,000/120,000/15,000, Telker opened to 312,440 under the gun. "Kakalala" shoved on the button for 1,743,770 and was met with an immediate call from Telker. "Kakalala" held a slight advantage with against Telker's , but the board ran out to give Telker queens and tens to send "Kakalala" to the rail in seventh place.
After "maratik" scored a second double-up at the final table (the second coming through Mike Telker), the remaining six players agreed to look at numbers for a deal. After nearly an hour of talking, a deal was agreed upon, paying each the following.
|Mike "munchenHB" Telker
|Ryan "TheCart3r" Carter
|sly caveat
The sticking point was Telker wanting to be guaranteed a seven-figure score and after much back-and-forth debate, "maratik" and "FOO-92" gave up about $22,000 and $30,000, respectively, to reach a unanimous agreement. With $100,000 and the prestige of winning the WCOOP Main Event still on the line, though, there was still plenty to play for.
On the third hand after play resumed (blinds and antes at 70,000/140,000/17,500), "sly caveat" opened to 292,600 on the button. From the small blind, "maratik" three-bet to 445,200. "FOO-92" then four-bet shoved for 2,652,320, chasing out "sly caveat." A call from "maratik" revealed , dominating the held by "FOO-92." The board fell , spelling the end for "FOO-92."
It took about 45 minutes for the next elimination to occur. At the 80,000/160,000/20,000 level, "sly caveat" raised to 334,400 from the cutoff. Ryan "TheCart3r" Carter called from the big blind to see a flop. Carter put in a check-raise to 865,000 following "sly caveat's" bet of 342,800. A call from "sly caveat" landed the turn where Carter bet 1,123,456. An all-in raise came from "sly caveat," resulting in an all-in call from Carter for 3,486,782 ("sly caveat" had him covered by less than two big blinds). Carter showed for top pair and was ahead of "sly caveat's" . The river changed nothing and "sly caveat's" tournament came to an end two hands later.
Day 1 chip leader Mike "munchenHB" Telker held the lead for a good part of Day 2 but bowed out in fourth place. He raised to 334,330 on the button, and Ryan Carter called from the small blind. A flop appeared and Carter checked to Telker, who bet 589,330. Carter just about clicked it back to 1,234,567, Telker called, and the hit the turn. A bet of 1,866,000 from Carter was called by Telker, resulting in the river. Carter then moved all in for 7,452,618. Telker had him covered by less than two antes and called with . Carter, though, showed for quads (again) and took a commanding chip lead. Telker busted two hands later.
"Jossel2008" bid adieu five hands later, also falling to Ryan Carter. On the button, Carter minraised to 320,000. "Jossel2008" called from the small blind and following an flop, "Jossel2008" check-called 430,000 to see the turn. Both checked through to the river where "Jossel2008" bet 894,400. Carter raised all in, "Jossel2008" called all in for another 3,892,540, and Carter won the pot with . "Jossel2008's" was second best, resulting in a third-place finish.
The chip counts to start heads-up play were as follows:
Carter: 29,861,560
"maratik:" 6,638,440
On the 11th hand of heads-up play, all the chips found their way to the middle. "Maratik" minraised on the button to 320,000 and Carter popped it to 800,000 from the big blind. A call from "maratik" delivered a flop. Carter fired 656,000, "maratik" clicked it back to 1,312,000, and Carter called. The turn was checked by both players, landing the river. Carter bet 2,132,000 and called "maratik's" all-in raise of 5,038,440.
Carter's flopped set fell to "maratik's" flush and from there, "maratik" seized control of the match and took about a 5:1 lead before the chips got in again at 100,000/200,000/25,000. Carter three-bet shoved from the big blind for 6,637,120 with . A call from "maratik" put Carter at risk and it wasn't looking good following the flop. The turn left Carter with just two outs to survive and sure enough, the popped off on the river to score Carter a double up.
Five hands later Carter was all in again after min-raising to 400,000 on the button. From the big blind, "maratik" three-bet to 700,000. A call from Carter delivered a flop. A bet of 1,014,999 came from "maratik," Carter called, and the hit the turn. Another bet came from "maratik," this one for 3,827,997. Carter shoved for 11,734,241, "maratik" called, and it was bad news for Carter.
Carter, who needed another two-outer to stay alive, came up empty as the river gave him an inferior two pair to his opponent. Carter's valiant performance gave him a runner-up finish, while "maratik" triumphed in online poker's most prestigious tournament for $1,000,907.26.

The Chinese Historical Society of America Museum celebrates its ten-year anniversary in the YWCA building in San Francisco Chinatown. Visitors can see the lives of Chinese in the past through pictures and models.
Frank Wong, a Chinese artist, spent almost twenty years to finish the models. But he said he can never figure out how long it takes for him to make one single piece because the work is always in progress. He gets used to add details constantly.
"It is kind of take us back to our childhood. I grow up in SF. But I don't come back too often," a visitor said.

Temple Ahavat Shalom's website
Declaring that "The indiscriminate distribution of guns is an offense against God and humanity," Rabbi Eric Yoffie inspired hundreds of thousands of Americans who gathered on the National Mall in Washington, DC for the Million Mom March on Mother's Day, May 14, 2000.
The Million Mom March began as a response to the shootings last summer at the Northern Valley Jewish Community Center in Granada Hills, CA by a group of five mothers sitting in a basement in New Jersey. Calling for licensing and registration, child safety locks, and waiting periods before the purchase of any gun, they built a broad coalition of support, mobilizing the pro-gun control movement in an unprecedented manner.
The Religious Action Center led the effort to mobilize the Jewish and faith-based communities to support the March. Bringing together over a dozen organizations in January, we helped build a coalition that, by the time of the March, numbered more than 50 religious organizations, including everyone from the American Ethical Union to the United States Catholic Conference, to endorse the March and activate their membership.
But the real success of the March was that it was the first-ever mass mobilization for gun control, bringing together hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country. In the Reform Movement, hundreds of congregants took part in the March, with more than 50 synagogues, from as far away as Temple Emanu El in Honolulu, Hawaii and as close as Washington Hebrew Congregation in Washington, D.C. , joining together on the national mall under the banner of the Reform Movement.
Together with the tens of congregations who took part in local marches (often with the support and organization of the regional UAHC office) and those that took part in the Washington march, but did not find their way to the Reform Movement banner, we salute the following congregations for their outstanding commitment to social activism, who, on Mother's Day 2000, prayed with their feet for the end of gun violence.
We have asked Temple Ahavat Shalom (Northridge, CA), the congregation that is home to two of the three children who were shot at the North Valley Jewish Community Center, and which has made gun control a central theme to its social action programming, to accept this award on all of their behalf.
Is your congregation looking for more ways to reach out to the community? Check out the Religious Action Center Program Bank.

Holistic Branding & Technology
If the photos are not well done, either too dark or too light; if the words on the pages are not composed very well, without typos and grammatical errors; if there is so much information in the brochure that it's a challenge for anyone to look at, let alone read; or if there is too little information, it may not support your other efforts as well as it could.
A note about brochure content… Most marketing is a multi-step process. As I mentioned before, many camps use the brochure as a tool to drive folks to the Web site for more information, and then to sign up there.
Your brochure does not need, nor should it have, every bit of information about your camp. All it really needs is enough information to move the people to take the next step; in this case to go to the Web site.
The Web site will have all the details, all the history, and the nitty-gritty about your camp. Try not to overburden your brochure with information that is too dense for people to appreciate.
Just as a weak brochure cannot properly support a great Web site, the opposite can also happen. A great brochure can be undermined by a weak Web site.
Your camp has spent a lot of time and money to craft a truly great brochure. It is visually compelling, with great pictures, glowing testimonials, and words that move the reader to action. They simply must have more info about your camp… they want to sign up, and they want to do it online… right now!
They type in your Web address and… Whammo! Right up against a brick wall. They were cruising along so well, and then they land on your site. And you lose them.
Maybe it looks amateurish, compared to the brochure. Maybe it's difficult to move through, or information is hard to find, or it's difficult to register, or it's just plain disappointing. It does not support the great brochure. It is inconsistent, and as such, it sets up a psychological domino effect that potential campers may not even be aware of at the time. But they might feel cheated, they might feel uncomfortable, and they may be unsure about continuing the process any further. You have lost them. All because one element did not support your camp the way you thought it did.
These are only two very basic examples of the effect of missing the big picture of holistic branding. But there are many other elements as well.
Small Efforts
It does not stop with getting the big things right. It should extend all the way down to the increasingly smaller and smaller elements that go into creating your holistic brand.
Holistic branding includes the camp facilities, the activities available, the attitudes of the staff, the clothing the staff wears, the look of your letterhead and envelopes, the cleanliness of the grounds, the food in the mess hall and canteen, the way you stay in touch with families who have inquired into your camp (even if they have not attended in the past), how you communicate with campers and families in the off season… it all goes into creating your holistic brand.
Even something as simple as answering the phone can affect your brand. Using a polite, confident, happy voice can go a long way toward making families comfortable with your camp.
Imagine seeing a great brochure and a wonderful Web site, and then calling the camp office and instead of being greeted with a hearty, "Thank you for calling Camp Tango…the home for summer fun. How may I help you?" the first thing you hear is "Hello," and that's it!
All the work and effort of creating strong consistent materials dashed, because someone wasn't on the same page one day.
It is the consistent effort that makes the grade. Make sure all the elements of your marketing program fit into the whole. Each effort will contribute to creating the brightest face for your camp; the one you want people to see, the one that kids will enjoy, and parents will trust.

It was for her birthday. Opera, sensual poetry on the table, candles, lobster bisque, calypso shrimp w mango salsa, coldstone icecream, and a nice romantic setting.
rockstarame has written 5 entries about this goal
yesterday my girlfriend said that what she would really like is some positive feedback. So I am going to try and say a positive thing every day. More encouragement.
I am not completely sure but I am thinking about preparing a nice romantic diner in our back yard. Like a little bistro. I am thinking of serving a single entre that has salmon, shrimp and vegies with a lobster sauce. But I was also thinking about instead offering a soup also – lobster bisque – but that might be too much lobster. And the entre is going to be pretty huge so she might not want other things. And she tends to like desert so I would have to think of something. luckily it is only the begining of March so I still have a little time. I do wonder about the cost. It probably isn't in my budget so maybe I shoudl look for a lower priced meal. ah ha the deserts will be godiva chocolate and/or godiva chocolate icecream (served fancy). Just thought of it as I was typing. Awesome.
ok so if I want to do a soup I would have to serve the soup with a lighter entre – maybe the crab cakes covered in lobster sauce (I'm totally going for the fancy effect here – lobster is important!!!)
I think I will print an ellegant invitation and have it delivered to her work. I'll secretly find out what days are best for her and then leave it at the front desk. The invitation will say "Please join me for diner tonight at 6 pm" Follow the candles. and then a space and then in bold italics "Menu" and then the menu. ah ha – I just thought of another part. I know one of her co-workers and will ask him to deliver it to her office saying someone left this at the front desk for you.
I will have to get tea light candles, and candle holders to light the way. And a white table cloth and candles for the table. and a rose in a vase or something like that. Maybe I could also find/ create some romantic poetry. ah ha another idea – forget the table cloth. I will use paper and in my best handwritting, write out poetry on the paper. I will have set out a small apetizer, silver ware. napkins and wine glasses and water. Have a note saying that I will be out with the food shortly and to have an apetizer, beverage, and to read the table. (But I will certainly say it much nicer.)
She likes this particular opera singer. Maybe I can have some music playing lightly near the table. ( I will have to secretly find out who this opera singer is and figure out a way to get the sound over there.)
ok so now the hard part is settling down on a menu and also the poetry./ romantic verses.
shakespere sonnets, rumi, cavalier poets all come to mind. Certainly some Spanish also.
ok I'm going to grab some books. – poetry and recipe books. and think about this.
the only thing i really did was prepare a valentines diner which was one of her favorite foods in the shape of a heart. We later made love.
She brought me chocolate covered strawberries which we ate together and desert.
It was a good day. Simple but very good.
I bought all her favorite food and beverage things for work and put them in a metal heart basket. This way, whenever she is hungry or thirsty she can have something right in her office. Se absolutely LOVED it and I went to her office yesterday and she has been steadily chowing down. So I will need to refill soon. especially the breakfast stuff and the chocolate. The fruit will probably be gone by the end of the week. The whole thing probably cost about $20 bucks to put together (with refills) but I really think it was priceless!!! A total hit!
rockstarame has gotten 2 cheers on this goal.

- Conference date: 5-8 September 2006
- Location: Tours (France)
The combination of the in‐flight separator FRS and the storage‐ring ESR at GSI offers unique possibilities for high accuracy mass and lifetime measurements of bare and few‐electron fragments. Operating the ESR in the isochronous mode allows for measurements of revolution frequencies of stored ions without cooling. Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) can be applied to fragments with half‐lives as short as several tens of microseconds. Newly developed magnetic rigidity tagging increases the resolving power of IMS to about 500000. IMS can be used to measure masses of nuclei with rates even lower than one ion per day, a property also needed for the purpose of the ILIMA project at the future facility FAIR.

Paracord Survival Straps and Bracelets
Paracord Survival Straps and Paracord Bracelets
Is the world as we know it going to end sometime this year? Probably not. What i can say is that it is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. By it i am referring to survival gear of all types not just survival straps and survival bracelets. The end of civilization as we know it is not the only reason we need to be prepared. The possibility of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, total financial collapse or just hyper inflation are all possibilities. What do you think would happen if the predicted solar flares knock out the electrical grid? Would you be able to survive without electricity for weeks at a time? What about a transportation strike that leaves the grocery stores shelves empty?
Survival straps can take many forms.
Pretty much anything that can be made from macrame or braiding can be made with paracord. The most well known are the Para Cord Bracelets but a more practical item would be a para cord belt. A belt will keep a lot more 501 paracord on hand than a bracelet will. Of course it is handy to have both. The survival bracelet for short cord needs and belt for long cord needs. Then you have rifle slings, key chains, and zipper pulls. Any kind of lanyard or leash can be woven from 501 paracord. The forms the paracord straps can take as well as the para cord uses are only limited by your imagination.
How to Make Paracord Bracelets
As i mentioned above, just about anything that you can make with macrame or braiding can be made with 501 paracord so the best way to learn how to make Paracord bracelets or paracord straps would be to get a couple of books on macrame projects and braiding.
Here are a couple that are available from Amazon. The best ones are not just survival bracelet instructions but are books on rope braiding, leather braiding and macrame.
Para Cord Uses
- Tourniquet
- Makeshift weapon sling

Property Name:
Denton Schoolhouse
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
104, South Second Street, Denton, Caroline County
Located at 104 South Second Street in Denton, the Schoolhouse is a small building, domestic in scale, with a Latin cross plan. The longer arms, each three bays, are parallel to second street. The main entrance, which opens from a hall onto the street, is in the northeast arm as is the kitchen; the southwest arm is now a meeting room. A large clubroom extends the entire length of the shorter arms of the cross. Two other entrances are situated in the rear wall of the northeast arm, opening into the kitchen, and the street side of the southwest room, opening into the meeting room. Although the building has been covered with aluminum siding and an asphalt shingle roof, it still retains architectural details of its Gothic Revival style. The pointed arch windows have 4/4 Gothic sash and shutter blinds with louvered sections over raised panel ones. A few of the window sash have been replaced with ordinary 4/4 sash. The exterior doors have four raised panels each bordered by applied mouldings. "Open work," typical of the period, exists in three of the four gable peaks. Affixed to the roof ridge of the longer sections is an octagonal cupola with a belfry of alternating louvered and plain drop-arched panels. At the top of the cupola is an elaborately cut wooden spire.
The Denton Schoolhouse was built during the last quarter of the 19th century on a cruciform plan, and incorporates several features of the Gothic Revival style. This use of a plan and style post often found in church architecture gives this schoolhouse an unusual character. The building has played a number of roles in the life of the community since its erection, and although no longer used as a school, it today continues to serve the needs of the community.

Trees and wood usually fall into two different categories which consist of hardwoods and softwoods. These categories do not always reflect the actual hardness of the wood, and often varies depending on the density. The terms 'hardwood' and 'softwood' are derived by looking at the tree's cellular structure. Although not always the case, hardwoods usually have a greater strength than softwoods. When diving deeper into the subject, the world of wood hardness can be confusing, but there are a few things to remember. Generally speaking, the actual hardwood and softwood come from entirely different types of trees; the hardwood from broad-leafed trees and the softwood from the needle-leafed trees. As mentioned before, these terms don't necessarily reflect the hardness of the wood, but rather the trees […]
Why the Hardness of Wood Matters
Generally, soft woods are used for furniture or ornamental pieces that don't receive a lot of wear and tear. Hard woods are used more for structures that require strength to stand up to abuse or the elements. It is this reason why most wood beams and wood floors are made from hardwood. Since the Janka test is the most scientific form of determining the hardness of wood, this is the main thing to look for when shopping for a hardwood floor. Since the Janka test involves impact and a relatively low weight, it's a great way to indicate how much force the wood can take over the years. The wood hardness determined by the Janka will give you as a consumer a good idea of how easily […]

HSBC Holdings Plc has "much work" to do as part of a $1.9 billion agreement with the Justice Department to avoid prosecution for money laundering, the U.S. said in a status report on the U.K.-based bank's performance.
HSBC Holdings Plc settled a lawsuit brought by a group of Taiwanese banks that accused HSBC Bank USA of helping deceased financier Danny Peng's PEMGroup defraud them of more than $500 million.
HSBC Holdings Plc settled a lawsuit brought by a group of Taiwanese banks that accused HSBC Bank USA of helping deceased financier Danny Pang's PEMGroup defraud them of more than $500 million.
Bank of America Corp. and HSBC Holdings Plc agreed to settle lawsuits brought over property insurance that borrowers were forced to accept, lawyers for the homeowners said at a federal court hearing in Miami.
A U.S. unit of HSBC Holdings Plc agreed today to strengthen a compliance program that federal bank regulators said was ineffective and created "significant potential" for money laundering and terrorist financing.
Confab Industrial SA said its board gave approval for the company to get $350 million in five-year financing from HSBC Bank USA. Confab will use the money to acquire 25 million common shares from Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA, according to a regulatory filing.
Private Equity Management Group Inc.'s court-appointed receiver sued HSBC Holdings Plc 's U.S. unit, claiming it helped financier Danny Pang defraud Taiwanese investors.
The following issue is being redeemed via the company's call option:
HSBC Bank USA agreed to withdraw from lawsuits challenging bond insurer MBIA Inc.'s restructuring in 2009, becoming the fifth plaintiff to drop out of the litigation since August.

Selena Gomez encourages youth to help children in Sahel food crisis
Actress, recording artist, designer and UNICEF Ambassador Selena Gomez is lending her star power to UNICEF's campaign to save lives in the Sahel region of West and Central Africa.
"The situation is urgent and these children need our immediate help. I want people to know that together with UNICEF, we have the ability to prevent their deaths," she said.
Last week Selena used her Twitter account, which has more than 11 million followers, to promote "Sound the Alarm" an international call to raise funds to avert the deaths of a million children from malnutrition.
"Let's make #SahelNOW a trending topic," she tweeted. Of the dozens of celebrities and thousands of UNICEF supporters worldwide who spread messages that day, Selena drove the most conversations.
"I have very loyal and active fans. Through social media I have a platform that enables me to reach them in real time and mobilize them to take action," Selena said.
Selena followed up her online activism with a visit to UNICEF House, where she was briefed on UNICEF's global emergency response operations and discussed the importance of social media in mobilizing and educating young people on important issues.
She also recorded a Public Service Announcement to encourage young people to donate $10 via text to avoid catastrophe in the Sahel.
Selena was appointed a UNICEF Ambassador in September 2009 and she has enthusiastically used her talents to advocate for the world's most vulnerable children. In January 2011, she performed her second annual Acoustic Charity Concert that raised $200,000 for UNICEF programs that provide nutrition, clean water, medicine, education, and more to children worldwide.
One Comment
Thank you, Selena, for calling attention to this imminent crisis! So many people still don't know about it. I just tweeted and donated, and hope others will as well.

- Wholesale inventories for March rose more than expected, up 1.1% after a 0.7% gain in February. There were 4 million job openings on the last business day of March -- little changed from 4.1 million in February, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday. The hires rate at 3.4% and separations rate of 3.2% were unchanged from the prior month.
- On the corporate front, Apple (AAPL) shares were 0.41% lower as The Financial Times reported the company could make its largest acquisition ever with the planned $3.2 billion purchase of Beats Electronics, the headphone maker and streaming music operator founded by music producer Jimmy Iovine and hip-hop star Dr. Dre.

- Ralph Lauren (RL) was 2.1% lower after saying it expects its fiscal 2015 operating margin to be 75 to 125 basis points lower from a year earlier due to continued investment in the company's global retail development and infrastructure, and increased advertising and marketing expense.

- Tesla (TSLA) shares were 2.1% higher despite reports that Missouri's state legislature could try to stop the electric carmaker from selling cars directly to customers.
- European markets closed weaker Friday.

The Nikkei 225 in Japan finished up 0.25% while the Hong Kong Hang Seng closed up 0.12% as China consumer inflation slowed more than expected.

Ninety people were arrested, 92 guns confiscated, and a large quantity of illegal drugs seized in a four-month undercover operation in Oakland, authorities announced this morning.
Scot Thomasson, an acting special agent in charge for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said a multi-agency effort called "Operation Gideon III" targeted "the worst of the worst offenders" who authorities believe are responsible for most of the gun-related violence in Oakland.
Speaking at a news conference at the federal building in Oakland, Thomasson said the people who were arrested generally engaged in drug robberies and money stashes but also "had no regard for the lives of others and all too often are esponsible for the deaths of innocent bystanders."
"We believe we have removed some of the most violent criminal offenders from the streets of Oakland," Thomasson said.
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said the operation resulted in the seizure of about 4 kilograms of methamphetamine, 3 kilograms of marijuana, 1 kilogram of heroin and a half-kilogram of crack cocaine.
Haag said 60 of the people arrested face federal charges such as conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute narcotics, attempting to interfere with interstate commerce through robbery, unlawful dealing in firearms and assaulting federal agents.
Alameda County Chief Assistant District Attorney Kevin Dunleavy said the other 30 people arrested will face state charges for illegal possession of drugs and guns as well as probation violations.
Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said the arrests have resulted in a significant drop in homicides in his city over the past month.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said the arrests "have given a breather to the people in our neighborhoods" and that she hopes this will "change the pattern of violence for a long time."
Congresswoman Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, said she hopes the operation, which follows up on similar operations in Phoenix and San Diego, will help "eradicate the flow of illegal firearms in Oakland."
