Best Uses
I originally ordered these to decorate my daughters Sweet Sixteen Masquerade Themed Candelabra but when they came and they were made so well and really did "glitter" more ideas came to mind and I had to re-order. Now, I am using them on her sign-in board, the small ones on the tables instead of the small annoying confetti usually used and one large one at the top of every centerpiece. Love Them!

April showers may be reason for NWI casinos' drop in revenue
By Karen Caffarini Post-Tribune correspondent May 8, 2013 3:08PM
Updated: June 10, 2013 2:03PM
Heavy rains and flooding dampened revenues at Northwest Indiana's five casinos in April, which showed a 2.9 percent drop overall from the same month last year.
"I didn't realize the impact the rainstorm would have on both sides of the border," Dan Nita, senior vice president and general manager of Horseshoe Hammond, said Wednesday.
He said it was challenging for some guests to find ways to get to the Hammond casino during the height of the storm and flooding that followed.
"We had two to four days of direct impact," Nita said.
He said Illinois, which was hit harder by the storms, took a greater hit revenue-wise.
Majestic Star Casinos in Gary took the biggest hit locally. Majestic Star I saw a 9.3 percent drop while Majestic Star II had a 13.3 percent decline, according to revenues released Wednesday by the Indiana Gaming Commission. Majestic Star Casinos took in a total of $15.9 million last month.
Other casinos held fairly steady, with Ameristar Casino in East Chicago taking in $19.4 million, a 2 percent drop over last April; Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City raking in $14.5 million, a .9 percent drop; and Horseshoe Hammond bringing in $41.3 million, a drop of .6 percent.
The casinos took in a total of $91.1 million in revenues last month compared to $94.6 million in April 2012.
This continued a string of declining revenues, broken only last month when the casinos squeezed in a slight gain.
The casinos had an advantage in March with five weekend days compared to four.
Meanwhile, Nita said he is optimistic that Gov. Mike Pence will sign the bill that would give casinos a tax deduction on up to $5 million of free play offered as promotions in a 12-month period.
"We're optimistic the governor will allow this to proceed. It gives us more of a level playing field," Nita said.
He has said that Ohio doesn't tax casinos for free play.

Is the Presidential Candidate of Your Choice Ready to Save a Sinking Ship?
by Bill Sardi by Bill Sardi
You are a woman, maybe a feminist. This election a woman is running for President. You feel it's your gender's turn.
You are an ethnic or racial minority and a man with dark skin is running for President. You feel it's about time.
You are a negative voter. You vote against candidates you abhor, like Hillary, more than you vote for a candidate's platform. So you settle for the candidate of the opposing major party.
You are a patriotic American, you don't want cutbacks in military spending, and you want a "kick ass" President who will show the world America is boss. You vote for the ex-military man, McCain.
You are, like most Americans, reading about the new billionaires who founded Google, or you read about the tax breaks the rich are getting. When Democratic Party candidates say they will tax the rich to fund universal health care, you buy into the idea. It's only fair.
You are never informed the "rich," the top 25 or 30 percent of wage earners, already pay most of the government's bills, about 70% of taxes. The recent tax rebate, to stimulate the economy, was a government giveaway to many people who paid little or no taxes. The people who paid most of the taxes got no rebate.
You are a Christian. You want a President that breathes the rhetoric of God. You want a President who will continue to pursue the Islamist fascists, spawned by "towel head" Muslims whose competing religion is spreading fast. Your vote goes to Huckabee.
You are among the one-third of American homeowners who refinanced their homes as values rose, pulling $1 trillion out of equity that temporarily catapulted the economy, but you now face a variable interest rate mortgage that is about to rise. Or you bought a home with no down payment and now you face foreclosure. You're not sure which Presidential candidate addresses your plight. Nor are you assured it won't happen again.
You receive a tax refund this year, and you've got a bit more money to pay off your credit cards, till 2009, when yet another slowdown in consumer spending will occur, predictably right after the November election. The loans most likely to go into foreclosure have been frozen so everything will appear normal for the election.
Suddenly you realize, the war in Iraq, which was so overwhelmingly opposed, has now, somehow, been relegated to a side issue in the Presidential election. Military deaths in Iraq have suddenly declined. There are fewer roadside bombings, as if orchestrated on cue. Only one remaining candidate claims he will withdraw troops and put a halt to the growing and perpetual war-based economy. This fact escapes your attention. Your attention has been drawn away from the war and towards issues like universal health care.
Whom will voters choose?
The politically correct voter will opt for Hillary or Obama.
The negative voter will vote against Hillary.
The lower income voters, the masses, will likely fall for the carrot at the end of the stick and vote to tax the rich in hopes for universal health care. (A mandated health care plan in Massachusetts is already in financial trouble and a California plan had to be tabled when it became clear it could not be launched at a time when the economy is souring.)
The ship of state is sinking
Are any of these candidates prepared to correct course and keep the ship of state from sinking? Sinking? Yes, the greatest success story in economic history is about to capsize and drag the rest of the world into a watery grave with it.
Most voters really haven't a clue what is really happening to America. You are being swayed by an orchestrated campaign by the news media that you cannot fathom. The TV networks want to create an image that everything is OK, so consumers will keep buying goods and services from the sponsors of the TV programs. The national brain-washing machine, the TV set, is how this consumer propaganda is communicated. Living beyond one's means has become the norm in America.
America can be likened to a cruise ship that is taking on water faster than it can be bailed out. If the issue in your mind is whether the ship's captain is female, or black, or is willing to offer more free services while on your cruise, or wants to mount more machine guns on the deck to deter terrorists, you are completely distracted from the imminent crisis that confronts America.
The ship's captain may continue to issue assurances from the helm, but not only is the boat taking on water, it is headed for an iceberg! The news media is akin to the public address system on the ship. Keep the people distracted from the real danger that lies ahead. No sense panicking the customers.
Certain sinking
The unseen danger that lies ahead is the $60 trillion of unfunded obligations for Medicare and Social Security, says economist John Williams. The unfunded obligations of the federal government have risen from $20 trillion in 2000, when George Bush took office, to these now unprecedented levels.
Bush now assures Americans his pick for a successor is John McCain, who best espouses conservative views. Do true conservatives spend money that can never possibly be repaid, or make promises that can never be delivered?
Survival of the republic is at stake
David Walker, comptroller general of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office, the GAO, says the survival of the republic is at stake. Walker has given up pleading with politicians and is taking up his bullhorn to warn the public directly. But the public, like sheep, is relying on the direction of their shepherds.
Taxing the rich won't pay for universal health care, nor for the shortfalls of Medicare and Social Security. Over a 10-year period, elimination of tax cuts would only bring in an additional $3 trillion.
The people on this ship of state don't recognize the greatest expense that is being hidden from view.
A military state
The biggest line item in the U.S. budget is defense (war) spending. The U.S. government commonly publishes a pie chart showing defense spending is about 20% of the U.S. annual budget, when it is actually 54%. According to the War Resisters League, out of a 3-trillion annual budget, the U.S. spends a whopping $1.449 trillion on war and when combined with debt payments for prior wars, the total outlays for war represent $2.650 trillion. Imagine half the cost of your cruise ship ticket is for security guards. The U.S. has become a military state without full recognition by its populace.
Despite this, emails will circulate the internet claiming that Hillary Clinton will scale back defense spending, putting our troops at risk. Patriotic American believe this.
Printing play money
To return to the ship of state analogy, the captain of the ship recognizes you might run out of money before the ship returns to its home port and has come up with a stunning idea. Print certificates that will be honored as real money below decks and have the ship's purser divvy it out as a loan to everyone on board. Brilliant! Passengers can now keep purchasing trinkets, jewelry and clothes from the ship's many onboard shops. This is akin to the economic stimulus plan just approved by Congress.
But this amounts to nothing more than play money. Worse yet, when the print shop on board prints the money, it hands it over to the ship's purser for the cost of printing, and he marks it up and cuts himself in for a profit before he lends it out to the passengers. This is like a hidden charge on your credit card bill. The passengers (citizens) don't fully realize as they spend the money it will be added to their collective credit card in the form of the national debt. The next generation will face this bill.
Hidden charges
This is analogous to the way the U.S. mint prints money, hands it to private bankers, called The Federal Reserve, which then takes a cut before loaning out money to banks so people can buy homes, cars, and re-finance their homes. Americans pay more for everything because of this.
John F. Kennedy recognized the folly of renting money from a private bank rather than distributing it out directly to the public from the U.S. Mint. Kennedy foresaw a day when the U.S. would be mired in hopeless debt.
In 1963 Kennedy went around the Federal Reserve Bank and printed $4 billion of U.S. Notes, subverting the Federal Reserve Notes then in circulation. Kennedy was shot in Dallas in 1963 and the $4 billion of U.S. Notes quietly withdrawn from circulation.
Only one candidate is prepared to take the helm
The only Presidential candidate who has the resolve to pull America out of this mess, and to keep the ship of state afloat, is Congressman Ron Paul. The TV networks have shunned Congressman Paul because his economic reforms, elimination of the Federal Reserve, down-sizing of the Federal government, dissolution of the Internal Revenue Service, and withdrawal from a war-based economy, would lead to the very demise of the TV networks that rely upon this ongoing ruse to stay in business. So the deception continues. You are being conned, and a huge bill is being rung up on the collective public credit card that you and your children will have to pay.
None of the Presidential candidates, save for Ron Paul, is prepared to save America. America is on the brink of becoming a second-rate nation. With the devaluation of the American dollar, now worth around 65 cents in world trade, the moneyed nations, China, Japan and Indonesia, that provide America with most of the goods that consumers buy, are thinking of buying other currencies. When this occurs, the entire world economy collapses.
First no money, then no jobs
The public doesn't recognize that our trading partners hold billions of U.S. dollars in exchange for the goods and services they have provided America. If these countries don't lend the money back to America, there will be no money to buy more homes and automobiles. Then there will be no jobs.
Can't we just print more money?
I can hear it now. Some naïve American will ask, "Can't we just print more money?" That's how we got into this mess in the first place. More money chasing the same goods and services produces inflation. $5 boxes of cereal are already in the offing. If your great-great grandfather left your family with $25,000 in his will in 1900, it would only be worth about $1042 today (2005 figures). Bankers, via inflation, rob money out of your bank account. "What about raising the minimum wage, like Obama and Clinton promise?" Same outcome — inflation. You'll be paying $10 for a fast-food hamburger, like they do in Tokyo.
Can America pull out of this mess? Another major economy hasn't been able to. Mark Gongloff, writing in The Wall Street Journal, says "The Japanese stock market first reached the 13000 mark in July 1985. Japan's Nikkei index closed at 13017 last week. In between there was a stock market bubble, a real-estate bubble, a credit crunch, a messing banking sector cleanup, super-low interest rates and a series of short-term stimulus packages that solved nothing."
Sound familiar?
Go ahead, vote for your favorite candidate. Sink the American ship of state for sure. You have now been informed. To continue to ignore this deception makes you a party to the crime. Pirates have boarded the ship and taken the helm and you are aiding and abetting them.

General enquiries: 03456 009 009
This is Surrey's awareness campaign to help people find the information they need to live more independently and make more informed choices about the different care and support available to them in the community.
People may need information to answer a range of questions, including
The information may be for yourself, a friend or a family member.
Here are some examples of how the information and advice available and making contact with Adult Social Care has made a difference.
Michael* contacted Adult Social Care in after picking up a leaflet in his local GP surgery. He needed advice and support to help him care for his frail 98 year-old mother.
"The call I made to the helpline literally transformed mine and my mother's life," said Michael*. "Ever since they became involved everything has been so much easier for us.
"They provided us with occupational therapy equipment, which gave my mother greater mobility and helped her spend less time in her bed. I was also able to use vouchers I'd been given to pay for someone to care for my mother whilst I went to the supermarket. This lifted an enormous weight from my mind; that mum was cared for and safe."
Help is at hand with a free, online directory of information, services and activities to support adults in Surrey to live independently. It has been developed as a partnership between Surrey County Council, Social Information on Disability (SID) and NHS Surrey.
The website is for all adults in Surrey, regardless of their eligibility or ability to pay for social care, bringing together in one place accurate and up to date local information and support for you and your family.
See www.surreyinformationpoint.org.uk
Local information and support for you and your family
Hubs are user-led, local centres for information and support catering specifically for the needs of disabled, older people and carers. The aim of The Hubs are to promote disabled people's independence by helping them to make more informed choices about the different care and support available to them in the community. They act as a gateway to information, advice, advocacy and services.
The Hubs in Epsom, Rehill and Woking are based in the heart of the community, so are very easy to find.
Recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, Lisa* was feeling distressed and lonely. She didn't know what type of help or support she was entitled to, then one of her friends told her about the Epsom Hub.
"I didn't know what to expect, but when I got there everyone was so helpful," said Lisa*. "I knew I was entitled to Disability Living Allowance (DLA) but didn't know how to apply for it.
The volunteers at the Hub were amazing. They helped me fill in the DLA form and put me in touch with other agencies, including the Adult Social Care Team."
The Department of Health requires all local authorities to inform the public about where they can go to get the best information and advice about their care and support needs. This supports the introduction of personalisation in adult social care which puts individuals at the centre of all decisions and gives them choice and control over the support and services they want.
If you prefer to talk to someone directly you can call the Adult social care helpline on 0300 200 1005. The team will be able to provide information and advice, put you in touch with other relevant organisations or undertake simple assessment of your social care needs.
Alternatively, visit the www.thesurreyhubs.org.uk to see what services and support are available, or visit the online directory at www.surreyinformationpoint.org.uk

Back in the news: Arsenic in apple juice
Maybe Mott's isn't out of the woods just yet.
Mott's, the apple-juice maker that has a large plant in Wayne County, was in the news in July when testing by the Empire State Consumer Project found elevated levels of arsenic in Mott's apple juice. While there is no federal standard for arsenic in juice, the concentration found in Mott's was five times higher than is allowed in U.S. drinking water. This marked at least the second time the toxic metal had been found in the company's juice by independent testers.
The finding by the Rochester-based consumer group led critics to renew calls for federal standards to govern the amount of arsenic in juice. Arsenic is thought to find its way into apple juice by the use of juice concentrate produced in other counties, such as China, where arsenic-based pesticides are used.
The consumer group's finding prompted both the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets to swoop down on the Williamson plant to collect samples. The results: no arsenic was found, and a spokesman for Mott's owner Dr. Pepper Snapple Group declared the controversy over.
But, as the saying goes, it ain't over 'til Dr. Oz says it is — and the pop-doc's syndicated television show is expected to focus tomorrow on arsenic in apple juice. Dr. Oz had his own testing done and, according to advance word released by his production company, they found arsenic in numerous brands of apple juice. The statement doesn't say which companies' products were tested.
Tune in to WROC-TV (Channel at 9 am Wednesday to find out if Mott's was on the list. I'm betting it was.
Meanwhile, an investigative story that appears today on the Daily Beast news website quotes a Mott's whistleblower saying that company and food-product concerns where she worked typically got advance warning of FDA inspections. (If I interpret her comment correctly, the warnings came from folks at other food-product companies that had just been inspected.)
The brief comment is in a longer story about the FDA's attempts to stop e. coli bacterial contamination of American food. The whistleblower, identified in the Daily Beast story as Laura Dean, is working with the Government Accountability Project, a Washington, D.C. advocacy group that works with and protects whistleblowers and has a particular interest in food safety.
What else Dean had to say about Mott's isn't yet known.

Available Child Pornography Defenses
Sometimes people unwillingly receive photos that constitute child pornography. This can happen when child pornography is distributed through email or text message and the recipient had no idea these types of photos were coming to them. Or maybe you innocently clicked on a link that brought you to websites displaying child pornography. There may also be instances where someone is caught with child pornography on their computer, but they did not personally download or receive the images; it was someone else using their computer. In order to avoid being falsely accused of possessing child pornography it is important to monitor who is accessing your computer and your cell phone. It is also vital that you seek the counsel of a child pornography defense attorney immediately if you are facing child pornography charges!
Child Pornography - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is child pornography?Child pornography is any image depicting a minor engaged in sexual conduct. (Florida Statute § 847.001(3)). No actual contact with a child has to occur. Mere possession of a photo that presents a child engaging in sexual conduct can result in charges against you and require registering as a sex offender for life. The distribution of such materials carries much harsher penalties.What is a minor?A minor is any person less than 18 years of age.How can I get caught with having child pornography?• Every computer has what is called an IP address. This IP address can be used to identify whether your computer has accessed any child pornography. If you are suspected of having accessed child pornography you can become a suspect and placed under investigation.• IP addresses sometimes lead investigators the wrong person. There have been some recent cases where the government targeted the neighbor with the unsecured wireless network instead of the actual offender.• You may also be caught with child pornography on your hard drive if you go to have your computer repaired. If a computer repair man finds child pornography on your hard drive they have to report you to the authorities.What are the penalties regarding child pornography?In the State of Florida, transmitting or sending child pornography is a felony in the third degree. A felony of the third degree is punishable by imprisonment of at least 5 years. Each individual child pornography image is a separate crime. This means that a person caught with 10 child pornography images, can face a minimum of 50 years in prison. The federal government punishes both the receipt and distribution of child pornography with a minimum prison sentence of 5 years and a maximum of 20 years. Possession of child pornography with the intent to view has a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. You will also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life if you are convicted of possessing or distributing child pornography.Can I be charged for unintentionally viewing or possessing child pornography?lf you are caught with having child pornography on your computer, it is generally presumed that you intentionally accessed it and violated the law. The prosecutors work to prove that you intentionally and knowingly received the images and the defense lawyers here at NeJame Law will fight to disprove this. It is possible that someone else had access to your computer, or that a pop-up displayed the child pornography photos, or you received spam mail containing the pornographic images. The defense attorneys at NeJame Law handle each case carefully to provide our clients with the best defense.What is the statute of limitations for bringing a child pornography case in Florida?In Florida, child pornography crimes are considered 3rd degree felonies. The statute of limitations for such felonies is 3 years. This means that prosecution must begin within 3 years after the felony is committed.Can I be charged with having child pornography on my cell phone?Yes and in fact, even teenagers are facing child pornography charges for "sexting" and sending nude pictures to one another.

I am not voting to decide my faith. It's intact. Vote for a President!
- Comments (7)

The Maldives took another shot at democratic elections on 7 September 2013, with a peaceful voting day. However, things look disturbing in the wake of the election results, with the candidate in the third place (the business tycoon, Gasim) accusing the elections commission for vote rigging. These accusations are not surprising given that the very President, who was "ousted" by the opposition (including Gasim) in the name of religion, succeeded in gaining the majority of votes.
The Maldives had its first democratic presidential elections in 2008. Prior to this, for 30 years, the public was given one candidate with yes/no choice every five years. This was with the backdrop of control on freedom of thought, no mechanism to hold the government accountable, the Parliament a lip service agreeing to whatever the President had to say – including putting himself up as the President for six consecutive terms.
The polarization of elite, nepotism, and narcissism were just some of the issues of the 30-year rule that rubbed people like me the wrong way. The use/abuse of religion to control the minds of the people was another. People were bombarded with preaches about loyalty to the leader, to the extent that President Gayoom, the foreign-educated Islamic scholar, was revered by many. This reverence was understandable in the context of the discord in handover of power in the past, rife with episodes of overthrowing of the monarchy, sultanate and the president, time and again. His downfall came in the hands of an opposition who dialed up anti-campaign, again abusing religion, accusing him for apostasy.
The same plight awaited the democratically elected president of 2008. A clear majority was not secured by any of the six presidential hopefuls in the first round. The incumbent president got 40.8%, while the second largest votes were secured by Nasheed (25.35%). The public sentiment was for a stop to the autocratic leadership of 30-years. All the other president hopefuls followed in step with the second leading contestant to form a coalition, thereby securing the required majority for Nasheed in the second round. The coalition government did not function though. The bold steps being taken by Nasheed in making the necessary changes in the economy, and to social welfare and education won the hearts of the populace, thereby diminishing the opportunity for anyone else to come to office in the next round of elections in 2013. Something dramatic and drastic was needed.
It came as a shock to many when President Mohamed Nasheed was "forced" to resign in February 2012, two years before his term was over. The card that was played was religion; with increasing freedom of expression, people started to voice out their thoughts on all sides. Fundamentalist religious view flourished, discourse on homosexual rights gained momentum, talks about moderation in religion also grew louder and so did rhetoric on the freedom of choice of religion. Prior to 2008 all this was held in check, suppressed and hidden. These sudden outbursts of thoughts and ideologies were directly attributed to the new government and its political party, and it became increasingly labelled as "laadheenee" (anti-religious).
As a Muslim who believes in moderation, I believe religion and faith lies between us and our Creator. My views don't necessarily have to be the same as the next person. The problem comes when some people cannot accept this mind frame. There are religious scholars and self-proclaimed pious people who believe there is only one right way. Mixing politics and religion is something that requires further non-judgmental discourse.
If there is one thing that the people of Maldives can associate with unanimously, it is their belief in Islam, and His prophet, Mohamed(SAW). History has shown that this very sentiment has been abused by politicians to coerce votes out of the ordinary citizens. What we witness today is one group calling for the people to fear Allah and to not vote a political party 'known for alternative narratives'. Their view is that the 45.5% votes the ousted President received in the first round of 2013 elections proves the "irreligiousness"of this Muslim nation. I stand to defy that. I am a proud Muslim. I stand against fear-mongering religious incitement. I stand for democracy!

Dear Aminah,
What a strong Op ed. I stand for democracy with you!
Thank you for providing such a clear and detailed political and religious context for the global reader. Thank you for sharing your feelings about why religion should not have a role to play in the politics of a democracy. I feel that the United States struggles with this issue as well. When Obama was elected there was a strong push to convince people that he was a Muslim and that he had no role to play in American politics as a result. Many religious groups also try to influence policy makers.
Thank you for sharing your perspective and opinion on such an important and controversial topic.
I highly appreciate your input.

Times are interesting...
This is so good. Well done.
We are forgetting the universal principles of human dignity, justice and equality. At the time of Prophet Mohammad the "pact of virtues' were accepted and upheld regardless who the people involved.
Let us bee hopeful and have faith. We have to work toward change from within until we this process is started we will be stuck in the current cycle. We have to find way to break through.
All the best to you.
With love
As always, continue to follow your pulse - it's a brilliant post, indeed!
well done!
This piece sets the stage very clearly and provides enough information to bring the reader into the situation very quickly. Then you've done a brilliant job explaining why this matters so much and presenting your view. It is so important to raise the voice of moderation and allow people to think for themselves, without fear. Thank you for this important piece. Please keep speaking up!

By Christine Pittel Color Inspiration from Moroccan Spice Market Barry Dixon turned the top of a 1950s hutch into a headboard, re-created the lattice at the foot, and painted it Ciara Yellow with a wash of Calypso Orange — inspired by the spice market in Morocco. Pure Ciara Yellow is on the ceiling and the bed's base. Photo by Barry Dixon Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Spice Market Designer Barry Dixon based many of the colors in his guest room on an exotic Moroccan spice market.

I wanted to bring scoops of it home and spread it all over this guest room." -Barry Dixon Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Paint: Blue Angel BENJAMIN MOORE BLUE ANGEL 2058-70 "I was in Oranienbaum in Russia, wandering through this tumbledown park, and suddenly there was this pavilion that looked like a delicately iced wedding cake, painted the blue of a Baltic summer sky. So romantic, and it turns out to have been the takeoff point for an 18th-century royal roller coaster. You climbed up to the top and then zoomed down this long track in a wooden sled." -Peter Dunham Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Paint: Dalila BENJAMIN MOORE DALILA 319 "One of my favorite spots in Florence is sitting on the balcony of the Lungarno Hotel overlooking the Arno and enjoying the colors of the houses on the Ponte Vecchio — all those shades of sundrenched yellow.

It's kind of a cross-pollination of sage and olive and eucalyptus and palm, much clearer and less arid than I ever imagined. Not a grass green but a salty green, as if it has a hint of the ocean." -Jeffrey Bilhuber Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Paint: Blue Green RALPH LAUREN PAINT BLUE-GREEN GH81 "Lago Argentino is a glacier lake in Patagonia and it's the most amazing color, a milky aqua, milky because as the ice melts it pulls minerals off the mountain.

When a dazzle of zebras ran in front of our jeep, it took my breath away to see those stripes framed against the bush.

- Leica Tease At New Mini Camera
- Posted 20 months ago by Jack Lowe · tech · 6769 Views
Venerable camera brand Leica have teased us with the news that a new product called the Mini M will be released on 11 June, 2013, without giving us any further specs. The announcement was made through the Facebook page and website, with a image depicting the Mini M as a black box between the M and X2 models. Initial speculations suggest that the Mini M will either be a fixed lens, full-frame camera to compete with the Sony RX1, or an interchangeable-lens system with an APS-C sensor like the X2. If the position of the camera in the image suggests retail price, we can expect it to be between £4,600 and £1,400. Stay tuned until 11 June for more news!

70 Students Present at Third Annual Student/Faculty Research Forum
Erika Goodwin: "Presenting helps students build those critical soft skills that are often lacking in the young professional"
May 1, 2012
WC junior Rhia Batson explains were research project to Mary Rose Zink, associate professor of psychology, during the third annual Student/Faculty Research Forum. Her topic was "Varying Abortion Views Among Young Adults in College Settings."
Hermann Court, the site of thrilling basketball games for five decades, took on a new — more academic — persona April 27 when it provided the venue for Wilmington College's third annual Student/Faculty Research Forum.
Some 70 students presented poster displays highlighting research they conducted during the 2011-12 academic year. The students and, in some cases the faculty with whom they conducted research, answered questions on their findings during the two-hour forum.
Erika Goodwin, interim vice president for academic affairs, praised the work done by students as contributing to the scholarship in the various academic fields.
"Doing research projects and disseminating their findings helps students close the loop on their entire academic experience in college," she said.
Goodwin emphasized that students conducting research and having an opportunity to present their research — whether at professional conferences or simply before the campus community — constitute valuable educational experiences.
"Presenting helps students build those critical soft skills that are often lacking in the young professional: critical thinking, polished oral and written communication skills, collaboration and professionalism," she said.
"It gives those going on to graduate school a big head start."
(LEFT) Students address questions about their research projects.
Goodwin, professor of athletic training, assisted nine athletic training majors with their research — and the Ohio Athletic Training Association invited each of them to present their research projects later this month at its annual meeting. She noted the selection committee, utilizing a blind review process, chose the top research submissions without knowing students' names and schools.
Another WC student this spring presented his historical research at a regional conference in Chicago and several science students will be traveling to Serbia later this month to participate in the International Undergraduate Research Symposium alongside college students from as diverse nations as Ecuador and the Philippines.
"By presenting at conferences, the students know and see the importance of scholarly endeavors," Goodwin added. "They may not want to ever do a research project again — and that's OK because it's more important to me that they see the value and need of it and appreciate the work that others do to develop the knowledge base in their respective fields."

Chicken with avocado cream and chile garlic mayo
2 slices chopped bacon
2 chicken breast
3 garlic cloves
1 small avocado
4 tbsp cream cheese
3 tbsp mayo
1/2 tbsp minced jalapeno
2 cupps shredded lettuce
6 olives (optional)
1 slice sharp cheddar (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
Cook bacon until crisp, leave pan and bacon greese to cook chicken in.
Pound chicken breasts to equal thickness. S&P and rub tsp minced garlic on skinless side. Cook chicken on skin side first -cooking 3/4 (will be white on top sides and brown under- then flip and cook through (this way garlic doesn't get too carmelized/burnt)
Meanwhile- In bowl, mash then mix avocado, cream cheese and one tbsp olive oil, S&P. In another bowl mix mayo, pepper and 1/2 tbsp minced garlic.
Assemble- Shredded lettuce on bottom, Sliced chicken on top (pour pan juice over chicken) Put cheddar and olives on salad (optional), bacon over chicken and 2 thick sauces on sides.
I think it's a great flavor profile- salty bacon, garlic spicy mayo and sweet creamy avocado. maybe 8 gm carb per serving- less without olive n cheddar
How can I add a picture? I put one in my album and tried to link the URL.

Speed Cameras
BBC Inside Out - Mobile speed cameras
Mobile speed cameras are increasingly being used by the police to enforce speed limits, but how accurate are they?
I missed the program but the full write up on the web looks interesting, showing how a small wobble can make a wall be clocked at 58MPH. The MD of the company that makes them blusters that errors are impossible - I'm more impressed by someone who "has spent twenty years being a professor of industrial instrumentation (possibly the only professor of industrial instrumentation)" - and his verdict?
The only reasonable conclusion you could come to in view of all these caveats is that thousands of motorists have been wrongly convicted, some of them losing their livelihood as a result.
This is one of those cases in which it is difficult to understand why the fundamental design decision was made. Laser Doppler velocimetry has been successfully applied to the measurement of speeds of everything from blood corpuscles to rolled steel. Why throw it aside for a mechanism with such obvious contradictions?
it wouldn't be because it increases the conviction rate, would it?

HoruSolar Project
Horus Networks has always looked for solutions to reduce its energy consumption as much as possible. In 2001, we decided that by 2010 all our electricity consumption would be covered by clean and renewable energies. That is why on 6 June 2004 we installed the first part of out photovoltaic power unit with a power rating of 1250 W. We are currently producing 2500 kWh per year, which enables us to cover 100% of our energy needs for operating our production and standby servers.
You can consult the graphs of the main data from our solar unit, such as total power, solar radiation, electrical voltage, etc.
If your website is hosted by us, if you want you can add the following logo to your pages to inform visitors to your site that it is powered by solar energy! Add the code below to your html, PHP or other files.
To supplement our renewable energy input we also bought in 2005 green electricity from the Energie Verte des Grisons company.

The Metaphysical Semi-Solipsism: The NSTP Theoretical Solipsism
2005) The Metaphysical Semi-Solipsism: The NSTP Theoretical Solipsism, in Superultramodern Science and Philosophy. Red Lead Press. (
Full text available as:
The metaphysical semi-solipsism is a position that within the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP (Non – Spatial Thinking Process) theory, 'I' and 'the superhuman mind' are the only material entities that exist. That is, only my NSTP and the superhuman NSTP/s exist. It is called semi-solipsism because unlike pure/conventional solipsism it asserts the existence of mind, i.e. the superhuman mind, other than one's own. This position is based on the argument that 'the non-existence of other non-superhuman minds/NSTPs simply makes the universal design simpler, i.e. it makes the superhuman engine less complicated, since the engine needs no additional intelligence/information to create a variety of specific spatial illusions through multiple (non-superhuman) NSTPs'.

Jimi Damone (or as I prefer calling him – Jim) is one of the greatest guys I've ever had the pleasure of calling a friend. He is one of those down to earth, honest, fun, creative, hard working, and nicest guys that you can't help but instantly love.
I met Jimi when I was 15 and he was 17 in Reno, Nevada. The place we both fondly call home. I was friends with him and his brother Dan and we hung out quite a bit before I moved to Portland in 2005. Jimi actually moved to Portland in 2011, but somehow I never managed to meet up with him before he moved back to Reno. Then I heard this past May he was moving back to Portland, and I couldn't wait to see him and catch up after all these years. I finally saw him on July 4th, where I met up with him for a drink at a local bar. Although I really hadn't seen him since 2005, it felt like no time had passed at all. The same old friends, drinking the same old drinks, and talking about the same old stuff.
Working on some leather tooling
Leather tooled bike seats done by Jimi
Jimi is a man of many talents – from woodworking and leather tooling to tattooing and skateboarding. With quickly progressing on his talents of leather tooling and woodworking, he was able to start focusing on those talents full time when moving to Portland for the second time.
Jimi giving his first left handed tattoo to his friend, Jake
On August 26th, 2013 a coworker of mine, SarahVale, came out of the kitchen with a horrible look on her face. When asked what was wrong she said Jimi had an accident on a machine at the woodworking shop, where her husband Dan also works. That Jimi had either cut off his entire right hand, or the majority of his fingers, but that they really didn't know. Instantly the whole office was shocked and silent. After a few panic attacks and a lot of frantic texts to friends, I texted Jimi. Not knowing if he'd ever even see my text – I quickly got a response "I'm with Dan, I'll be ok". REALLY!?!?!?! But that's Jimi for you…always being positive and thinking of others!
As a result of the injury, Jimi lost of the tips of both his thumb and pointer fingers and the majority of the other three fingers on his right hand, while being right handed.
See Jimi on KATU News and News 4 from Reno
With many of us not having insurance these days – the debt from medical bills like this is very scary. Overnight people started getting together to plan benefits for Jimi to help raise money for his medical bills. A close friend of his, Corey Duffel, started a donation page on the Give Forward website. Two days after his accident, $11k had been raised for him on that donation page. Many of us were shocked at how quickly that had happened. Even more surprisingly – people Jimi doesn't even know from around the world were donating money to him. Why, you ask? Throughout this whole ordeal, Jimi has been in a pretty damn good mood! He has stayed extremely positive, motivated, optimistic, and an inspiration to us all! I couldn't be more proud of him.
Jimi and his best friend, Ragz
Now for the shoe part of the story…
As some of you know, Solestruck has a very close relationship with Jeffrey Campbell. When I was trying to figure out what I could do to help Jimi, I remembered about a year ago Jeffrey made a shoe for a Ballerina named Margo who had been hit by a drunk driver and was paralyzed. For all of the profit that was made on that shoe, Jeffrey donated 100% of it to Margo to help with medical bills and rehabilitation costs. Having remembered that we ordered that shoe, I thought I could give it a shot and ask Jeffrey if he could do the same for Jimi. I immediately got a reply saying – "We would love to do anything we can to help, lets work quickly!" Luckily I was the only person at the office when I got that email because the water works turned on real good!
For the last week I have been working on the design for Jimi's shoe and sent off the final design last week. No pressure, right?!?!
Just when you thought it couldn't get better…it does!
Bryce, my boss and the owner of Solestruck, told me the other day – for all of Jimi's shoes we order and sell through Solestruck, Bryce will give all of the profit made from Solestruck to Jimi as well! So now Jimi will be receiving all profit made on his shoe from both Jeffrey Campbell and Solestruck.
When the Jimi Damone x Jeffrey Campbell shoe has been confirmed we will send out a photo to all of you – so stay tuned! Oh, and the shoe will be unisex so we can all get a pair!
In addition to the donation website, Lend Jimi A Helping Hand Skateboards, and the Jeffrey Campbell shoe for Jimi, there has been and will be more benefit parties thrown to help raise money for him. There was a benefit held in Reno this last Friday the 13th that was very successful and had a great turn out. There will also be benefits held in Los Angeles and Portland. The Los Angeles benefit will be on October 5th at The Berrics (flyer included above), and the benefit in Portland will be mid-November. If you are in the Portland area, keep an eye out for more info and if you are in the L.A. area- mark October 5th on your calendars!
The last few weeks of life have been filled to the brim with many emotions for a lot of us – shock, tears, laughs, and love – so much love!
A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone that has come together to help Jimi! For those who know him, you know if anyone deserves it, its him!
Written by Alex Gallatin
Your Message

November 8, 2012
Selling marijuana for medical reasons has been kosher in California for quite some time. But what started as a legal way for cancer patients to get some relief has turned into a free for all. Several states have legalized it, but the federal government and courts are still trying to stop people from smoking up. Travon Free tries to make sense of the current state of American marijuana laws on today's Brain Food Daily.
