Yahoo Makes Secure Search The Default
Yahoo has now joined Google in making all searches people do automatically go through a secure server, to help prevent eavesdropping by outsiders. Unlike Google, however, Yahoo has failed to make an important change to how "referrer" data is passed along, which will result in people thinking Yahoo Search has suddenly dropped in popularity.
Yahoo.com Goes Secure
The switch only seems to be happening on Yahoo.com, not on other Yahoo properties I've checked like Yahoo UK, Yahoo Germany, Yahoo France or Yahoo Japan. Yahoo did confirm to us that the switch happened but didn't clarify on exactly which Yahoo properties, though we specifically asked.
Rather, Yahoo said the rollout was on-going and part of plans announced at the end of last year:

The post doesn't specifically talk about Yahoo Search going secure. It says that all Yahoo products will be made more secure (so that would include search), but then goes on to say that users would be given an option to encrypt data. With Yahoo's search change, no option is given. It's been made secure by default — which for users, is generally a good thing. Few tend to change defaults.
Yahoo did say that all its properties should see a similar change by March 31, 2014:
Yahoo will encrypt all information that moves between our data centers and offer users an option to encrypt all data flow to/from Yahoo by the end of Q1 2014. This effort will extend to all of our properties.
Yahoo didn't say when exactly the change happened, but we were tipped to it by a reader yesterday as it being fairly recent. The Washington Post noted that Yahoo confirmed its email services would move to secure servers on January 8, so perhaps search was changed at the same time or near to it.
What Secure Search Means For Consumers
By going to secure search, Yahoo is sending all queries through a secure server, one that can't easily be eavesdropped on by outsiders, such government agencies like the NSA or private third-parties.
You can see the change happen because if you go to http://yahoo.com (the http:// prefix representing an ordinary, unsecure server), after doing a search, you'll see that the URL has changed to https:// (representing that a secure server was used to process the search and send results to you).
The change, as explained, should help prevent eavesdropping of searches, which can individually be sensitive but are far more a concern if someone can intercept a series of them and construct a profile of what a particular person has been searching for.
What Search Search Means For Marketers
The move to secure search also means that Yahoo no longer passes along "referrer" data that tells web sites the terms they were found for, in most cases. Think of referrer data as a "caller ID" for the web. In the past, if someone searched on Yahoo, then clicked on one of the listings, the destination site would be told that a search was done on Yahoo and the terms that were used to find them.
For example, if someone searched on Yahoo for "books" and clicked on a listing for Amazon, Amazon would be able to tell that it received a visitor from Yahoo and that the visitor searched for the word "books."
With the change, this no longer happens. Yahoo is sending no referrer data at all from its secure server to unsecure sites (which are most sites out there). This means marketers who are getting traffic from Yahoo won't know this at all. They'll instead see a plunge in traffic coming from Yahoo and a rise in traffic from "direct" visitors.
One site, Marketing Champu, has already noted a drop in its logs. Many more sites will be noticing this going forward.
See our related story on Search Engine Land for more about this:
FYI, for those who run secure servers, it does appear Yahoo is following standard protocol and passing referrers to those. We're double-checking with Yahoo about this.
How Yahoo Is Screwing Up Its Popularity, Unlike Google
As said above, Google also went to secure search by default, back in September, as our story below explains:
However, publishers did not find that as a result, Google was suddenly dropping in popularity. The reason is that Google purposely has made changes so that it passes along some referrer information — enough that people know that a search happened on Google — but not the actual search term itself.
As a result, Google continues to be accurately measured by marketers in terms of how much aggregate traffic it sends them, even if they are left in the dark about the exact terms used.
Why didn't Yahoo do the same? My guess is Yahoo didn't even think about it. But when asked about the lack of referrer data and how that may impact Yahoo's apparently popularity, the company said:
As the rollout is not complete, we aren't able to comment yet on this.
The Loopholes In Google's Protection
Actually, there is one case where Google keeps transmitting search term data in the clear, not through any secure method. That's for its advertisers.
Google purposely left a loophole in its security so that so that advertising terms continue to be passed on. It also left loopholes so that individual terms continue to be passed on within its Google Webmaster Tools service. Both mean that Google's secure search isn't as secure as it could be, but Google seems happy with that trade-off. More about this below:
- The Questions Google Refuses To Answer About Search Privacy
- How Google could have made the Web secure and failed — again
What About Bing?
You may have heard that Bing has gone to secure search this month, too. That's not quite correct. Earlier this month, Bing made a secure version of its search service available for anyone who wants to use it. But if you don't use it, then searches continue to be unsecure. The default has not changed to use secure search, as it the case with Google and Yahoo.
Our story below has more about this:
Most Secure: Yahoo, Then Google
Overall, the rundown is like this:
- Yahoo: secure search by default, no search terms passed, no referrers passed, except for advertisers
- Google: secure search by default, search terms passed to advertisers or through Google's publisher tools
- Bing: search search optional, no search terms passed, no referrers passed
Yahoo appears to provide the most security for searchers because by default it is passing no information along at all, not even individual terms. It might. however, be passing ad clicks. We're checking further on that.
Postscript: Yahoo tells us that it is providing full referrers to advertisers.
Google provides great security by default to prevent eavesdropping in order to build a search profile of someone, but it provides no real security when it comes to the privacy of individual terms.
Bing provides security, but only for those who seek it out.

Recently, I had the opportunity to poke my nose into the zoo of gadgets.
As you can read from the documentation (Installation Guide and User Guide on Oracle Wiki), this is the first version and it supports Siebel CRM and Siebel CRM OnDemand.
In this post I would like to summarize my first impressions.
- Have access to a running Siebel Server or CRM OnDemand instance.
- Download and install Adobe Air (which is obviously the platform of choice)
You can download the Gadgets from edelivery.oracle.com. The package includes .air files for each of the gadgets.
First you install and start the Oracle Gadget Manager. Enter the application URL, username and password and click Save. The Oracle Gadget Manager connects to the Siebel Application via http (my assumption is that it uses the SWE API) and retrieves data for the gadgets. It does a data refresh any time you click the Save button or every 30 minutes automatically.
You have to leave the Gadget Manager open for the other gadgets to work.
You should also install the Oracle Tune Up Tool For Gadget Manager which allows you to configure the gadgets. For example, you can specify the Siebel view which is used to retrieve the data (which controls data visibility by choosing the respective "My", "All" or "All across" views).
Next you can start installing and using the other gadgets. I tried the following two:
The Contacts gadget lists contact data from Siebel. You can categorize contacts as customers, references or prospects (which happens in the gadget only and is not written back to Siebel CRM). If you have access to Contact Center OnDemand, you can click on the phone number to call the contact. When you click the email address, your mail client opens a new email form. There is no write-back, so when you use the gadget to send emails, no activities are generated in Siebel CRM.
The search option allows you to enter names or filter for categories. You can also click a social network button which initiates a web search (in Google) for the selected contact.
Top Accounts
The Top Accounts gadgets lists account data from Siebel. The interesting part is that you can assign a stock symbol to each account (again, this is not written back to Siebel) and the gadget displays the current stock quote.
Click the RSS feed symbol and marvel at a list of current news about the selected account.
Siebel CRM Gadgets allow users to quickly review Siebel data without having to connect and navigate in the Siebel client. You can also associate Siebel data with web based information such as stock quotes and social networks. However there is no write-back functionality (at least in this release) so no emails or phone calls are documented as activities.
Also the configuration options for the gadgets are somewhat limited (colors, number of records and refresh interval is all you can set).
The Tune Up Tool is a bit awkward to use but at least lets you select the Siebel view and the fields you wish to display.
For a description of the other gadgets (Quota, Search and Top Deals) please refer to the User Guide.
Have a nice day

Maryville, Blount County (WVLT) – The shocking story of a Blount County woman who claims to have been raped by a man imitating a police officer was a hoax.
Maryville Police Chief Tony Crisp gathered the media Wednesday to announce that during his department's investigation of the blue light rape case, they found several inconsistencies in the victim's story.
That victim, Tiffany Ranee O'Connor, 28, Maryville, later recanted her story and was taken into custody for filing a false report.
At just before 9:00 PM Sunday night, O'Connor called 911, claiming to have been raped by a man she said was impersonating a police officer.
She said the incident began when she turned from Highway 411 south onto Cherokee Heights Drive.
That's when she claimed that blue lights appeared behind her, causing her to pull over into the parking lot of the Wiley Boring Shopping Center.
She said a man then approached her vehicle, grabbed her hair through the open window, dragged her to his vehicle and proceeded to sexually and physically assault her.
O'Connor told investigators that the man then pushed her from his vehicle and fled the scene.
Maryville Police began an around the clock investigation following the incident.
As for O'Connor, Chief Crisp said she had a prior criminal history including theft charges.
She will appear in court on November 2nd at 9 AM.
Her bond has been set at $1,000.

Petrol price fallen rs.2
New Delhi: In this summer of discontent, it's a partial relief for the aam aadmi. After the steepest hike of Rs. 7.54 a litre in the petrol prices last month, state-owned oil companies today announced a reduction of Rs. 1.68 per litre in petrol prices, excluding taxes. In Delhi, after including 20 per cent VAT, the reduction will be Rs. 2 a litre.
The reduction, a result of fall in international oil prices, will mean that petrol in Delhi will cost Rs.71.18 per litre, as against Rs. 73.18 at present. Petrol price in Mumbai has been cut by Rs. 2.12 to Rs. 76.45 per litre while in Kolkata it has been reduced from Rs. 77.88 to Rs. 75.81. In Chennai, the price has been cut by Rs. 2.13 to Rs. 75.40 a litre.
The decision, flowing out of the fortnightly review by oil marketing companies, came as some relief for consumers battered by double-digit inflation.
The decision was expected on May 31 but was then delayed by two days due to the Bharat bandh called by the Opposition. Interestingly, the price of aviation turbine fuel was cut but not petrol.
The May 24 hike had come under sharp attack from all political parties including allies like the Trinamool Congress and the DMK and there was all-round demand for a rollback. Even Congress leaders had said they did not know about the petrol hike and have joined the chorus that the hike be withdrawn.
The government, however, said that this is not a rollback. "As you are aware that prices of petrol are deregulated, whenever the oil companies are impacting losses, they raise the prices and when the prices of the crude oil go down, they pass on profits to the consumers. I understand that Rs. 7.54 hike was a lot, but today the government is not trying to take credit if the prices are coming down because it is not a rollback," Minister of State for Petroleum, RPN Singh told NDTV.
But the Opposition is not convinced. "It is an eyewash, the government is not serious. The prices are still high and we won't accept this," said BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy. The Left too slammed the move. "A cut of Rs. 2 per litre in petrol prices is not adequate because the oil companies suggested a steep hike of seven-and-a-half rupees. We demand complete rollback. Oil companies raised the prices when crude prices were coming down so they must be pragmatic. The government's argument is ridiculous that petrol is deregulated. The government is making a mockery of itself and its authority. This partial rollback is not going to help the common man," said CPI leader D Raja.
The decision to partially roll back the petrol prices has evoked mixed response from the aam aadmi. "It's an eyewash. It's a cat and mouse game. We want the government to come out with a clear policy. Leaders are spending so much money on foreign trips, and government should come out with some model which really helps the consumers," said a resident of Delhi.
After the steepest hike in petrol prices last month, a few state governments had announced cut in taxes to ease burden on people. Kerala and Uttarakhand, both Congress-ruled, had announced an immediate cut in VAT on petrol.
India deregulated petrol prices in June 2010 but continues to subsidise kerosene, diesel and cooking gas to protect the poor from the impact of any inflation pressures. In the second half of 2011, oil companies began reflecting market realities more closely and began revising petrol prices.

The Chairman, Mr. Peter McNamara, called the meeting to order at approximately .
The Clerk, Mr. David Hennessey, called the roll:
Peter McNamara, Walter Kosik, David Hennessey, Jeff Gowan, Alternate Svetlana Beloritsky
Edmund Gleason, Alternate Cindy Ronning, Selectmen's
Mr. McNamara noted that Ms. Beloritsky would vote in Mr. Gleason's absence.
Case #2264 - TESSIER, Dennis, Jr./21 Saint Margaret's Drive - ML 12-87 - Seeking a Variance concerning Article III, Section 307-12 & 307-14 to permit a single family dwelling on a lot that does not meet the Table of Dimensional Requirements of the required 200 feet road frontage within the residential zone.
Mr. McNamara said this case had previously been continued to obtain information from the Planning Board. He said it was the Planning Board's opinion that the public right-of-way could not be used as a driveway. The Planning Board provided the following suggestions: 1) applicant could submit a petition warrant article to have the right-of-way accepted as a road, which would then be brought up to Town standards; 2) go before the Board of Selectmen to explore the possibility of a sale. Mr. McNamara said he asked for Town Counsel's opinion, but had not yet received a response.
Mr. Dennis Tessier, Sr. asked if the land could be purchased at fair market value, or by paying back taxes. Mr. McNamara said Mr. Tessier could meet with the Selectmen for determination. Mr. Tessier asked if the Board of Adjustment would vote on the case. Mr. McNamara informed that the applicant could withdraw their application, or the Board could vote on the case and in the event the variance was denied, the application would not be allowed to come back until waiting a fair amount of time, or if the circumstances changed.
Mr. Dennis Tessier, Jr. wanted to know his options if the Selectmen denied purchase of the land. Mr. McNamara suggested approaching the Selectmen for further information. Mr. Tessier wanted to know if he would need to come back before the Board of Adjustment if the Selectmen agreed to a land purchase. Mr. Kosik believed the applicant would need to come back before the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Tessier said he had heard something about land reverting to adjoining properties if it were not in use for over twenty years. Mr. McNamara said in terms of public right-of-ways, Mr. Tessier may want to obtain an attorney's opinion.
Mr. Hennessey suggested that the applicant bring the case back to the Planning Board. He wanted Town Counsel's opinion because he felt the Planning Board was incorrect regarding not granting frontage onto a right-of-way. Mr. Gowan said if he was on the Planning Board he would have been inclined to side with their recommendation. Mr. Kosik recalled a similar instance, and asked if the Selectmen could grant permission to open the Town owned right-of-way and allow one house to be built on it. Mr. Hennessey said the Board had recently voted to include frontage onto a right-of-way. He said the difference with other cases was that the right-of-way was closed by Town Meeting. After reviewing the regulations regarding public right-of-ways, he didn't see anything regarding 'Town owned'. Mr. Hennessey reiterated his belief that the Planning Board was incorrect and asked that the Board of Adjustment request Town Counsel's opinion.
Mr. Kosik said that the Board of Adjustment was who interpreted zoning and didn't understand why the Planning Board was involved. Mr. McNamara said the Board requested feedback from the Planning Board. Mr. Hennessey said he wanted to know what the Planning Board intended at the time the subdivision was laid out. At this point, the Planning Board's opinion was requested because the original subdivision was done over twenty years ago.
Mr. Mark Schmidt, 19 St. Margaret's Drive understood that
the Town took the right-of-way for back taxes approximately five years
ago. He said the developer of
The Board discussed the case further. Mr. Hennessey said he wanted a formal opinion from Town Counsel. It was the feeling of the Board that the applicant discuss the right-of-way with Planning Director Will D'Andrea and meet with the Selectmen.
The case was continued until the
Case #2269 -
Mr. McNamara said this case was previously continued for input from the Planning Board and Town Counsel. He said the letter provided by Town Counsel contained several things, one of which was that a class VI road was not a public right-of-way for purposes of the Town's Zoning Ordinance. He said to continue the case, two variances would be needed: 1) insufficient frontage; 2) from the terms of the ordinance (frontage onto a public right-of-way). Mr. Hennessey reviewed Town Counsel's letter which reviewed how to get a lot built on a class VI highway (variance needed for Zoning 307:14; need to meet Subdivision Regulations Section 674.41). He said the State Regulations allowed either the Selectmen, or Town Meeting vote could open a road that was closed subject to gates and bars. It was Mr. Hennessey's opinion that a road closed to gates and bars by a vote at Town Meeting should only be allowed to be open by a vote at Town Meeting. Mr. McNamara informed that the Planning Board was unanimously not in favor of a subdivision on a class VI road. He said the Planning Board provided the following suggestions: 1) applicant could build the road up to Town standards and petition to have it accepted as a Town road; 2) discuss with Open Space Committee regarding a possible sale of land. Mr. McNamara said the Planning Board had major concerns with building a subdivision on a class VI road.
Mr. Wes Aspinwall, Herbert Associates, said the applicant wasn't necessarily seeking to build anything in the immediate future. He said there was an existing building on the parcel and noted that there were a number of buildings and residences that existed under a previously established maintenance agreement which was set up by the Selectmen. He said the duplex was located on approximately thirty-one acres. He believed the same subdivision issues would arise if the Open Space committee wanted to purchase the land. Mr. Aspinwall was unsure if the Selectmen had developed a procedure regarding development on a class VI road. Mr. McNamara said there was a procedure by statute as to how to go about building (as reviewed by Town Counsel). He said based upon the letter from Town Counsel, the applicant would not only need a variance for insufficient frontage, but also from the language of the ordinance. Mr. Hennessey felt there was a distinction between a class VI road, and as in this case, a class VI road that was closed to gates and bars through Town Meeting. He further reviewed Town Counsel's letter which noted that the Board of Adjustment should review zoning variance issues, the Planning Board should review the subdivision requirements, and the Selectmen should review the street layout issues. Mr. Hennessey felt a vote from Town Meeting would also be needed for a vote regarding gates and bars.
There was further discussion regarding what further action was needed by the applicant. The Board informed that the applicant could either withdraw their application, or have the Board take a vote.
The applicant asked the Board if they could withdraw their application.
(Hennessey/Gowan) To allow the applicant to withdraw their application without prejudice.
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
The applicant's application was withdrawn without prejudice.
Case #2270 -
Mr. Hennessey read the list of abutters aloud. There were no
persons present who did not have their name read. The file did not contain any written
correspondence from abutters. Mr. Lance
Ouellette informed that he was the owner
Mr. Nicholas Pappadeas,
Item #1. The proposed use would not diminish surrounding property values because: I am only raising and not changing the footing of my home.
Item #2. Granting the variance would not be contrary to the public interest because: I will not interrupt anyone's property.
Item #3. Denial of the variance would result in unnecessary hardship to the owner because:
a) the zoning restriction as applied to their property interferes with the reasonable use of the property, considering the unique setting of the property in its environment such that: no more land to purchase in order to conform to zoning.
b) that no fair and substantial relationship exists between the general purposes of the zoning ordinance and the specific restriction on the property because: well will not change the footing of the house therefore, it should not disrupt our neighbor's boundaries.
c) the variance would not injure the public or private rights of others since: only a garage directly abuts my home and we're in the middle of two roads.
Item #4. Granting the variance would do substantial justice because: my living space would increase my house needs a new roof pitch, I get ice blockage and water comes in and water damage and wet basement.
Item #5. This use is not contrary to the spirit of the ordinance because: If the variance is granted we will meet all other requirements such as permits and building codes.
Mr. Pappadeas said he would like to build the addition so he could expand his family within the next year.
Mr. Hennessey asked how close the exiting home was to Little Island Pond. Mr. Lance Ouellette, direct abutter, said Mr. Pappadeas' home was approximately 325ft. from Little Island Pond. Mr. Pappadeas said he had beach rights, not direct frontage onto the pond. Mr. Kosik believed permits were being issued building permits, as long as the footprint of the house was not being exceeded. Mr. Hennessey said the Building Inspector was issuing permits, based upon his interpretation that building could occur as long as the footprint was not being exceeded. Mr. McNamara asked the age of the home. Mr. Pappadeas said his home was approximately forty to fifty years old.
Mr. Gowan asked if the septic would be adequate for expansion. Mr. Pappadeas said the septic (1500gallon), which pumped to a new leach field had been installed approximately three years ago.
Mr. Lance Ouellette, owner of
Ms. Blanche Thibault,
Mr. McNamara asked what the distance was between the applicant's home and Ms. Thibault's home. Mr. Thibault said approximately two - three hundred feet.
Mr. Gowan asked if Ms. Thibault resided in her home year-round and if they had a deeded view easement. Mr. Thibault said he and his mother were year-round residents and believed the state had view easement provisions. Mr. Pappadeas provided the Board with photographs of the front of Ms. Thibault's home in between the two homes. Mr. McNamara asked if the homes were visible at this time. Mr. Thibault said the houses were visible at this time, but not in the summer.
Mr. Hennessey noted that the new septic system was built for three bedrooms.
Mr. McNamara asked what was located between the properties of Mr. Pappadeas and Ms. Thibault. Mr. Pappadeas said there was a road and shrubbery. Mr. Ouellette informed that the height of the shrubs and trees were a minimum of twenty-two feet and located on his property. There was further discussion regarding the height of the surrounding homes/garages. Mr. Pappadeas explained the condition of his roof and the fact that he would like to raise and pitch his roof for safety.
The Board further discussed the case; the following things were noted: if the lot was conforming there would be no question, several permits had been issued for similar requests; the current roof posed safety concerns; the second floor addition will ensure the building would be up to code; a New Hampshire Supreme Court case determined that the footprint being exceeded didn't eliminate the need for a variance. A height restriction for the addition was discussed. Mr. Ouellette noted that the Board, when approving the variance for his garage, conditioned the approved based upon a maximum of height of 24ft.
(Hennessey/Beloritsky) As a condition of the variance, the height of the structure shall not exceed twenty-four feet from sill to peak roof line.
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
Mr. McNamara - Yes to all criteria - subject to 24ft height limitation.
Mr. Kosik - Yes to all criteria - with conditions 24ft. from the ridge to sill.
Mr. Hennessey - Yes to all criteria- subject to 24ft. roof line.
Mr. Gowan - Yes to all criteria
Ms. Beloritsky - 1) No; 2) Yes; 3) Yes; 4) Yes; 5) Yes

So do not try to play these verbal games: "Body and mind are divided; body and mind are one." Drop them! They are interesting, but useless. They lead nowhere. Even if you find some truth in them, they are only verbal truths. What are you going to learn from them? For thousands of years your mind has played this game, but it is childish; any verbal game is childish. However seriously you play it makes no difference. You can find many things to support your position, many meanings, but it is just a game. As far as day-to-day work is concerned, language is useful, but you cannot move into the deeper realms with it because these realms are non-verbal.
Language is just a game. If you find some associations between the verbal and the non-verbal, the reason is not that you have found some important secret, no. You can find many associations that look important, but they are not really significant. They are there because your mind has unconsciously created them.
The human mind is basically similar everywhere, so everything that develops out of the human mind tends to be similar. For example, the word for mother happens to be similar in every language. Not because there is anything significant about it, but because the sound "ma" is the sound that is most easily uttered by every child. Once the sound is there you can create different words out of it, but a sound is just a sound. The child is just making the sound "ma," but you hear it as a word.
Sometimes a similarity can be found that is just coincidental. God is the reverse of dog. It's just a coincidence. But we find it meaningful because to us a dog is something low. Then we say that God is the reverse of this. This is our interpretation. It may be that for the opposite of God we created a word dog and then gave this name to dogs. The two are not related at all, but if you can create a relationship between them, it appears significant to you.
You can go on creating similarities out of anything. You can create a vast ocean of words, with infinite similarities. For instance, the word monkey. You can play with this word and find certain associations, but before Darwin this would have been impossible. Because we now know that man comes from the monkey, we can play word games. We can say monkey as "man-key": the key to man. Other people have joined these two words in a different way. They have said that monkey and man are related because of the mind: man has a monkeyish mind.
So you can create associations and enjoy it, you can feel it is a good game, but it is just a game. One must remember that. Otherwise you will lose track of what is real and what is just a game, and you will go mad.
The more deeply you go into words, the more associations you will find. And then, just by tricks and turns, you can create a whole philosophy out of it. Many do that. Even Ramdas has done this, very much. He has played with the word monkey in this way; he has compared dog and God in this way. It is all right; there is nothing wrong in it. What I am saying is this: if you are playing a game and enjoying it, then enjoy it - but never be fooled by it. And you can be fooled. The game can be so engrossing that you will go on with it, and much energy will be wasted.

This stunning LED chandelier lit up this year's BKLYN Designs with a stellar low-energy lighting solution for light emitting diodes. Recent Pratt graduate Kenzan Tsutakawa-Chinn wowed attendees at the BKLYN Designs show with his constellation chandelier, which takes the form of a gorgeous starburst, breaking LEDs free from their circuit-mounted domain.
It's an exciting time for LEDs as advancements in technology are constantly rendering them brighter and more efficient. Once relegated to the province of circuit boards and instrument panels, light emitting diodes have become wonderfully suited to ambient and direct lighting applications, as evinced by Tsutakawa-Chinn's beautiful lamps at the Pratt Institute's booth.
The free-form hanging lamp is composed of 364 warm white LEDs clustered at the tips of 91 copper tubes. Each slender sheave of light is bound at the base for an elegant effect that emits a shower of warm light. Tsutakawa-Chinn said that the chandelier consumes about as much electricity as a 20-watt light bulb, and it runs on 12 volt power. He is seeking UL approval for the lamp this fall, and we hope to see these on the market soon thereafter!

My Garden Tour Recap – Slideshow
Since most of you didn't make it to my garden tour on Saturday, I thought I'd post a little slideshow of the garden. Oh, and it rained all stinking day.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the tour.
WOW! Your garden looks beautiful! You have done so much work! I love the stone path, the rain chain (which is on my wish list for our new back porch), ALL the plantings, the raised beds, the mini greenhouse … thanks so much for this virtual tour. So funny, I added one bamboo screen panel to our ugly chain link fence this year and now I want to add them all along the property line this spring.January 14, 2012
Lovely garden and I can appreciate all of the planning and work that went into it! Loving your greenhouse!!February 29, 2012

Angela, I have scoured the net, and nothing comes close to the simple, functional beauty of your greenhouse. I am in zone 5a, and wonder if I could adapt something to even come close! Do you have any instructions or tips, from the construction of this little oasis?March 31, 2014

For People Sheikh Hasina Sacrificing
Dhaka, Feb 19 – "heads and people in the government to make sacrifices to serve the people" prime minister Sheikh Hasina Thursday called supporters of Awami League and said.
"Power is not a thing to be consumed. Everyone has to work with the spirit of sacrifice. It should be considered how much we have been able to give the people.
"The huge responsibility the people have put on us through the mandate in the election has to be executed," she said at a discussion meeting on International Mother Language Day, which is on Saturday, at Mohanagar Natya Mancha in the city.
Criticising the military-installed interim government for enacting 122 ordinances she said, "That government had no accountability, they did not have to answer to the people. They worked according to their whim.
"We are now carrying the burden they left on us," the prime minister says to iNewsToday.net.
Hasina also paid tributes to the people, including language martyrs, who fought the language struggle in 1952 to establish the Bengalees' right to language.
On her government's action plan, she said her government will strengthen the rural infrastructures every house will have a farm.
"The allowance for widows, elderly people and freedom fighters will be doubled and widened," she said.
"Opportunities for all will be created," she added.
Awami League presidium member Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury presided over the discussion.

TARIndiaFan says: It's definitely northern India. I don't recognize the place though (I am from south) In one of the posters, it says "Loans .... call - 02*****" (I am not able to decipher the rest). Area code of Mumbai is 022. But again, there so many places having area code starting with 02 (mostly cities around mumbai). Also, India's film industry is based in Mumbai. If I have to guess about the next destination, I'd say it is Mumbai, India. merry x'mas to y'all

In-Fisherman has long promoted the practice of Selective Harvest, which encompasses the practice of keeping some fish selectively as a matter of conscience and conservation, and because fish are nutritious, delicious, and—when harvested wisely—they're an infinitely renewable resource.
Of course, transforming our catches into fine table-fare requires the assistance of fillet knives. The good news is, there are countless options to choose from. And the bad news? Well, there are countless options—and separating the good, the bad, and the ugly can at times feel more challenging than slicing the Y-bones out of a pike, blindfolded. The trouble is, the wrong knife can waste meat, make filleting a nightmare, and increase the risk of slicing yourself while dicing your catch.
For example, I'll never forget trying to clean a batch of eating-sized pike at a remote cabin. Having neglected to pack my personal blade, I was forced to use an old kitchen knife that's better days had come and gone decades prior to my trip. The blade wouldn't hold an edge, and was curved and damaged from years of abuse. Let's just say I sawed up the day's catch as best I could, but the experience yielded a lesson not soon forgotten.
When choosing a knife, look for a quality stainless steel blade—sized appropriately to the fish you'll be cleaning. Flex should also fit your cleaning needs. A bit of flex (say, an inch or so each way) is nice on short, thin blades used for smaller fish and precision cuts. Larger knives with thicker blades may have less flex, but the ability to bend is still important.
To speed you search for the right blade, we've gathered a collection of fine cutlery, including traditional and electric models, sure to ease the job of transitioning fish from lake to plate. To be sure, there are countless worthy blades crafted by companies too numerous to mention, from Leech Lake Knives to Case, Dexter-Russell, and more. We offer this selection to highlight the spectrum of options and price points at our disposal.

In March 1995, the City of Hopkins received petitions from over 50% of the owners of Meadow Creek Condominiums to impose the necessary fees to finance $1,165,000 in improvements to the common areas of the association. The City held the necessary public hearings and the housing improvement area and fees were approved by the Hopkins City Council. Owners were then given the opportunity to veto the imposition of the fees. This did not happen and the fees went into effect on May 5, 1995.
The improvements financed through the creation of a Housing Improvement Area include the following:
Owners were given from May 8, 1995 to June 7, 1995 to prepay the entire fee. If an owner chose not to prepay the fee, payment of the fee must then be made twice annually for the 16-year statement (including interest and associated financing costs) beginning with property taxes payable in 1996. The payments vary by unit type and range from $227 - $339 per year.
If the fee is not prepaid, the balance cannot be paid off at any time during the 16-year term of the district. If the property is sold, the new owner must assume the fee as part of the property taxes. This fee is not a special assessment.

Inland Orange County should hit the mid 80s again on Friday, but temperatures are expected to ease a bit over the weekend before climbing higher on the Fourth of July.
The big-picture pattern remains stubbornly in place, the National Weather Service says: high-pressure air over the central United States and low pressure in the Gulf of Alaska, with a tail extending down the West Coast.
The two forces pull this way, then that, bringing minor ripples and temperature variations to Orange County.
Friday and Saturday are both partly cloudy in the morning with patchy fog before giving way to mostly sunny skies.
Inland highs should be 81 to 86 Friday, 70 to 75 on the coast.
On Saturday we climb down a few rungs: 77 to 82 inland, 67 to 72 at the beach.
Then pulses from the coastal low-pressure system bring in cooler air, thickening the marine layer, dropping temperatures and locking us into a cloud-and-sun pattern through midweek.
Mornings should be mostly cloudy with patchy fog, giving way to mostly sunny afternoons Sunday through Wednesday.
But inland highs begin to recover after hitting a low point of 75 to 80 Sunday.
They should rise into the 77 to 82 range Monday and Tuesday, and a little higher, 79 to 84, on the Fourth of July.
The coast sticks to the 66 to 71 range Sunday through Tuesday, but also warms a little on July 4 to 68 to 73.
Thursday is mostly cloudy with patchy fog, then sunny and 77 to 82 inland, 66 to 71 on the coast.

Course overview
Deakin's Bachelor of Health and Physical Education prepares you for a career in health and physical education teaching in upper primary and secondary schools. The course provides theory and practice in the study of education, discipline studies, curriculum studies and in the specialised teaching methods of health and physical education. In addition, you will study a second teaching method of your choice from a selected range of discipline studies offered by the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment or the Faculty of Arts and Education.
You will participate in a highly rewarding professional experience program spending at least 80 days working in schools, with children and alongside experienced teachers.
Professional recognition
This initial teacher program has been approved by the Victorian Institute of Teaching for the purposes of teacher registration in Victoria. Graduate intending to apply for registration in Victoria should carefully check all requirements relating to this process specified here
Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is the standard full time load for one year of study.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A Commonwealth supported place is one for which the university receives some government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute only part of the cost of their course. To be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place you must be an Australian citizen, or a New Zealand citizen or holder of a permanent visa who will be residing in Australia for the duration of your unit/s of study.
* The "indicative annual course fee" cited has been provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking a full-time quota of units within the specified discipline.
The actual fees charged by Deakin University will depend upon the discipline from which each individual unit is chosen, and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2015 can be viewed from the Unit Search.
Please note that the fees per unit/credit point may increase annually due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on "indicative course fees" to calculate the total future cost of their course.
Career opportunities
Graduates of this course will be suitably qualified to find careers in Australian and overseas primary and secondary schools, sports management, recreation and fitness industries, government departments, recruitment and human resource management, professional coaching positions as well as in private academies and agencies.
Course rules
The degree requires students to complete 32 credit points over the equivalent of four years of full-time study. Students are required to complete: 18 credit points of Education units (which include studies in education, physical and health education, curriculum methods, literacy and numeracy and professional experience); 14 credit points of discipline studies (which include exercise science, applied sports science and discipline content related to the additional teaching method). Additional teaching methods may be taken from a range of discipline areas including Biology, Chemistry, Dance, Drama, English, Mathematics and History.
The School of Education teaches 18 of the 32 credit points in this award; 10 credit points of exercise science discipline are taught by the Faculty of Health and 4 units (providing discipline content for the additional teaching method) are taught by the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment, along with other Schools in the Faculty of Arts and Education.
Additional Graduation requirements: Prior to graduation, students MUST have completed an Emergency First Aid Certificate (Level 2) and AUSTSWIM qualifications in order to satisfy VIT Specialist Area Physical Education requirements.
In order to satisfy the Victorian Institute of Teaching requirements for graduates to have good literacy and numeracy skills all students must successfully pass EXC425 Literacy and Numeracy in the Curriculum.
Discipline sequences
Refer to the details of each discipline for availability.
Discipline sequences for additional teaching methods were developed in consultation with the relevant faculties and discipline coordinators. Students must meet any prerequisites required by the offering Faculty. Units offered have been selected to most appropriately support the curriculum methodology study units while maintaining flexibility and student choice. Sequences have been designed to meet the Victorian Institute of Teaching 'Specialist Area Guidelines' for secondary teachers.

It sounded like a freight train running into our house. And I thought my dog was dying.
We've had a winter that has piled the snow higher in our neighborhood than nearly any other along the benches of the mountains where we live.
This winter has put a toll on the snow shovels, the snow tires and nearly everyone's patience.
With each snowfall the load on our roof gets deeper. And heavier. And with a nearly flat rooftop the snow has nowhere to go. it just. stays. put.
Until it warms up. And then the avalanches begin. And that's when my dog loses it.
Thank you Erin for having a photo crush on Chewy
Our dog Chewy is a bit of a nervous wreck. It's in his DNA. The little dude has never been corrected with more than a strongly voiced admonishment. Even though we adopted him at a mere 8 weeks, he refuses to come when called, even when trying to lure him up on the bed for a snuggle, and instead stares you straight in the face with a look of just plain boredom, and walks away. There's no need for a doorbell since he is a four-legged alarm system, posturing his imposing-bearish-self at the front door, to the back door, and back to the front door whenever anything wanders up or down our street, be it a truck, person or deer. And he's deathly afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks, eating his way through fences or performing as a nocturnal acrobat as he hovers over our sleeping faces and turns the bed into the vibrating style that normally costs a quarter to get that kind of action.
He's getting older now. His eyes are beginning to film with cataracts, his escapes from the front door are far less frequent. 90 pounds of a nervous nelly shepherd/chow mix. And we couldn't adore him more.
With the house warming the layer of rooftop snow from below and the warming sun baking it from above, the sheath of snow is quickly turning into a sheath of ice. One foot thick. As the days get warmer and the snow finally begins to melt, massive sheets of snow slide from the roof and crash to the ground in 12-foot lengths and put my little boy into full panic mode.
Two days ago when his head hung low, his pace far slowed and his paws not quite working right I thought he'd had a seizure. Or a stroke. It happened before and I thought we were in the midst of it again. But…This time it lasted longer.
And that's when my husband pointed out the avalanches had been crashing all morning and I just hadn't noticed. My little boy was scared. But…I think it was probably more than just nerves. And…That's when I had to admit that sooner or later his time will come just like our first dog Akasha, his adopted mama, who ruled his roost with every snarky bark at his puppiness play and who I'm sure contributed to his aloof behavior far more than anything my husband and I could ever influence.
If there's one thing that perks the Chew-man up it's food. That's how I knew he was on the mend. The following day he was back to being underfoot in the kitchen, waiting for every crumb to fall and breathing on me at every bite as we enjoyed our meal.
Not that it mattered. I'm happy to have him breathe on me for as long as he's able.
Like snowstorms turning into the spring thaw, this recipe is the perfect transition from winter to spring. It still has the markings of favorite winter-like comfort food staples (cheese, sauce, girth) but is light enough so not to throw you into a food coma ready to burst from fullness. Unless you eat the whole pot. Which you are perfectly entitled to do if you so choose.
I created this recipe for the folks at Wisconsin Cheese and made you all a little video to go along with it. Check out Sara's and Ashley's videos while you're here. I'm really enjoying this style of storytelling so you'll be seeing more of it I'm sure. Thank you to Angie for being my willing cooker.
Wisconsin Fontina Polenta from Wisconsin Cheese Talk on Vimeo.
Don't forget, Sunday is Daylight Savings in the U.S., set your clocks forward, cook yourself a special meal and please, beware of avalanches.
- Bring water and cream to a boil in a large saucepan.
- Add cornmeal or polenta, bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring often.
- Whisk in kosher salt and pepper. Add grated cheeses, whisking until cheese melts, then add butter and stir in until combined. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve with prepared marinara sauce and extra grated Parmesan cheese. Top with fresh basil as garnish.
- Heat oil in a french skillet over medium high heat and add garlic slices. Cook for 2 minutes or until very lightly browned. Add tomatoes to skillet and season with sugar, red pepper flakes and salt. Break up tomatoes, lower to simmer and cook for about 25 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Add basil, stir and serve.

The Christmas tradition is back. We have all heard of Santa's elves. But did you know that there are bad elves and good elves? And by bad elves, I am not talking about the elves that live on the east side of Des Mones, Iowa.
There is one particular bad elf that happens to live in these woods.
Don't worry he stays high and dry during the spring floods.
Good luck!
Merry Christmas!

Wedding Date: 10/22/2011
I wasn't sure about the need for a wedding planner, and my then fiance was totally against the idea of even a "day of wedding coordinator", but agreed to meet with Rosalie. By the end of the meeting, we were both sold on her services. Best decision we ever made. She was amazing! Worked tirelessly all day long doing a million little things that made my life so much easier so I could concentrate on having a good time with my guests. She has a bag of "tricks" that has all kinds of things you might need in a hurry - bobby pins, tape, etc. Even if you don't know what a coordinator could do, trust me, you won't regret having her around.
Wedding Date: 10/23/2011
I must say i was a WRECK when i started planning my wedding! when a friend told me about Rosalie, that was a blessing in disguise. She is very patient and the sweetest person I know! With my crazy roller coaster life, she kept everything together and the day of the wedding was the most beautiful and perfect day ever!!!
Rosalie you made my life so much easier! Mauricio and I are grateful and couldn't express in words how thankful we are for all your help. I wouldn't change anything about that day and Thanks for keeping me together!! we love you!!!!!
Wedding Date: 9/17/2011
Just wanted to say what an amazing day my wedding day turned out to be. Rosalie and I worked together for 14 months planning my wedding. She was totally and completely amazing. She made sure that all our appointments were made to fit our crazy busy schedule. She attended all our appointments and took us to some really amazing vendors. Rosalie helped me with our invitations and favors. She did all the work herself. Our schedules are insanely busy, and she managed to squeeze in all the the things we needed to get done. She is patient and accommodating. On my wedding day she showed up with my favorite coffee and the rest is history. I didn't have to worry about a thing. My wedding went off without a hitch and I attribute it all to all the hard work she put into it. I don't think I could have done any of it myself. Rosalie came highly recommended to me from a co-worker. She is worth every penny and then some. My family can't stop talking about what a great day my wedding day was.
Rosalie, I couldn't have done this without you. I am so happy to now say we are friends. Thanks for everything, your the best!
