Lollapalooza parties recap: Shot down by Vampire Weekend -- twice
I like to think I dress nice. I could be wrong, but I do make an effort to fit in at these swanky events. And yet, I couldn't help but question my style when I went to W Chicago-City Center Thursday for Pete Yorn's show. When I arrived, one of the PR people looked at me said "Media?"

A flexible environment to meet changing data needs
Enjoy the benefits of flexibility and elasticity that cloud hosting delivers, combined with the added control of dedicated servers. With the hybrid model, tasks can be allocated to cloud servers or dedicated servers depending on which is most suitable.
Hybrid Cloud offers the best of both worlds. Maintain mission critical and compliance-regulated websites and applications on a dedicated server, and use the cloud for spikes in workload or as a testing and development environment. Or maintain transaction heavy databases on dedicated servers while using the cloud for the rest of the workloads.
Virtual Internet can create a custom hybrid cloud hosting management solution to meet your exact requirements using our public or private clouds and dedicated servers.
The best of both worlds - dedicated and public or private cloud
Instead of having to choose between platforms, hybrid cloud offers the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of both. IT departments can decide what data and applications should reside on which platform, which can help minimiz e resource overcapacity. For example, highly sensitive data such as customer credit cards can be held on a private cloud or dedicated server, while less sensitive data can be housed on a public cloud.
Connected by one console
Virtual Internet's hybrid cloud solutions come together with VMware's vSphere, a management console that enables IT to seamlessly and securely move workloads from a dedicated server to the cloud and back again.

"As the President argued when he began the War For Civilization, America cannot allow basic constitutional protections to its enemies - or its suspected enemies, or potential allies and relatives of its suspected enemies - lest they "use the forums of liberty to destroy liberty itself." Indeed, in the hands of the Jihadists, a writ of habeas corpus would prove more deadly than a hijacked plane or weaponized smallpox, for with it, they could unleash Freedom against itself in an Ouroborobian orgy of Islamofascist terror. America's one hope is to make certain that Freedom never falls into the wrong hands by curbing Freedom proliferation throughout the globe.From the very funny, and occasionally profound, Fafblog!
America may have lost this battle, but the Medium Lobster remains an optimist. There is always hope for curtailing the uncontrolled spread of Freedom, and the best place to start is here on the Homelandfront, where porous borders, open ports, an educated populace, and the First Amendment leave American citizens dangerously vulnerable to the misuse of Freedom by enemy forces. Fortunately, America and its President have antiterror weapons at its disposal. The President only a year ago discovered he posseses the power to suspend international treaties and domestic torture statutes; there's still time for him to discover he posseses the power to suspend court decisions that affect his ability to apply his suspension of those torture statutes."

Lenses / Re: Sigma ART 50 Shipments - Have you received your confirmation« on: May 23, 2014, 06:07:24 PM »
With the way B&H holds work on debit cards etc. I was impatient, since basically I had paid for the lens, and didn't have access to its use…. so I was quite happy on "opening day" of US arrival to find one at my local dealer (3 weeks ago)…. Sure others here were in the same boat… and for everybody else - there has been so much anticipation to the introduction of this lens, that everybody wants to do their own testing of it….

It wouldn't be a proper turkey dinner without the cranberry sauce in most American homes. Although the canned version is perfectly acceptable, homemade cranberry sauce is so very simple to make. This recipe features both fresh and dried cranberries: the tart assertiveness of fresh berries is balanced by the sweet intensity of dried fruit, while the texture of the conserve benefits from a combination of soft fresh cranberries and chewy dried. The fragrance of orange marries beautifully with cranberry, so we've included it here to enliven the sauce. If you prefer, use lemon or ginger to perk up the flavor.
|1/2 cup
|1 cup
|cranberry juice
|Zest of 1 orange (removed in strips)
|star anise pod
|1 1/2 cups
|Earthbound Farm Organic Dried Cranberries
|2 cups
|(about 8 ounces) cranberries (fresh or frozen)
|1 tablespoon
|orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier (or more to taste)
Place the sugar and juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves.
Lower the heat to medium and add the strips of zest, star anise, and the dried and fresh cranberries. Cook, uncovered, until the berries soften and burst their skins, and the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Discard the zest and star anise. Stir in the orange liqueur. The sauce may be covered and refrigerated for up to 10 days.

Risk is being turned on its head in the corporate-bond market as debt deemed closest to default beats returns on the highest-rated debentures by the most in four years.
Securities ranked in the CCC tier or lower by Standard & Poor's have gained 7.1 percent this year, compared with a 5 percent loss for AAA rated debt, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. AAAs are losing 1.2 percent this month, versus 0.5 percentage point for CCCs. The divergence is making this only the third year since at least 1996 in which the lowest-graded debt produced gains while top-rated bonds lost, the data show.
Investors are eschewing bonds with the most to lose when interest rates rise as the Federal Reserve signals it may soon begin pulling back from unprecedented stimulus. A measure of sensitivity to changes in benchmark rates is at about a record high for AAA bonds, while it is holding below the average over the past 10 years for CCC debt, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show.
"It's a perfect storm," Stefan Lingmerth, a New York-based analyst with Phoenix Investment Adviser LLC, a distressed-debt investor, said in a telephone interview. "AAAs are more interest-rate sensitive, while CCCs are hardly affected," and investors are looking for more yield as the economic recovery strengthens, he said.
Junk Issuance
Speculative-grade companies have issued $241.6 billion of the bonds in the U.S. this year, on pace to exceed the record $357.3 billion of sales last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Debt from companies in the lowest ratings tier account for about a third of the $14.7 billion issued this month, up from 18 percent in July.
The bond market has been roiled ever since Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke outlined a plan in May that would start cutting the central bank's $85 billion of bond purchases later this year if the world's largest economy continues to improve.
Unsecured debt from Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based Supervalu Inc. (SVU), which is rated Caa1 by Moody's Investors Service, has gained 30.4 percent this year through Aug. 27, while bonds of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), the world's largest maker of healthcare products, have declined 5.3 percent, Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show.
Rate Risk
The interest-rate sensitivity measure, known as effective duration, has climbed to 8 for all AAA rated debt and reached a record 8.2 reached last month, Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data show. The gauge, which is up from 5.7 at the end of 2008, compares with 3.8 for CCC graded bonds.
"Being long fixed-income duration" has worked for a lot of investors who are "now starting to rotate out of that," Jon Duensing, head of corporate credit at Smith Breeden Associates, said in a telephone interview from Boulder, Colorado. "High-yield debt tends to have less interest-rate sensitivity."
Elsewhere in credit markets, regulators proposed easing a measure to require lenders to keep a stake in mortgages that they securitize, an effort designed to discourage the kind of risky loans that contributed to the subprime credit crisis. Sanofi, France's largest drugmaker, sold its first bonds in euros since November. Akorn Inc. (AKRX), a maker of generic eye-care products, obtained $675 million of financing commitments backing its purchase of Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co.
Credit Benchmarks
The Markit CDX North American Investment Grade Index, a credit-default swaps benchmark that investors use to hedge against losses or to speculate on creditworthiness, fell for the first time this week, declining 0.4 basis point to a mid-price of 83.4 basis points, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.
The Markit iTraxx Europe Index, tied to 125 companies with investment-grade ratings, fell 1.9 to 104.5 basis points at 10:30 a.m. in London. In the Asia-Pacific region, the Markit iTraxx Asia index of 40 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan fell two basis points to 165.
The indexes typically fall as investor confidence improves and rise as it deteriorates. Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
The U.S. two-year interest-rate swap spread, a measure of debt-market stress, fell 1.7 basis points to 16.19 basis points, the lowest since July 29. The gauge typically narrows when investors favor assets such as corporate bonds and widens when they seek the perceived safety of government securities.
Sanofi Bonds
Bonds of Fairfield, Connecticut-based General Electric Co. were the most actively traded dollar-denominated corporate securities by dealers yesterday, accounting for 4.6 percent of the volume of dealer trades of $1 million or more, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Paris-based Sanofi offered 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) of 1.875 percent, seven-year securities to yield 27 basis points more than swaps, Bloomberg data show.
The 505-page draft risk-retention regulation written by six agencies drops a requirement that lenders retain a stake in mortgages with down payments of less than 20 percent, which appeared in an earlier version of the measure known as the qualified residential mortgage rule. The first draft, released in 2011, drew protests from housing industry participants and consumer groups who said it would impede home lending.
Aligning Rules
The draft would align the qualified residential mortgage rule, designed to protect investors, with similarly named guidance governing risky home lending: the qualified mortgage, or QM rule, designed to protect borrowers. That regulation, issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in January, contains no down payment requirement. It offers legal protections to banks that make loans defined by the rule as non-abusive.
The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index fell 0.02 cent to 97.62 cents on the dollar, declining for the 10th straight day to the lowest level since July 9. The measure, which tracks the 100 largest dollar-denominated first-lien leveraged loans, has returned 2.92 percent this year.
Leveraged loans and high-yield, high-risk, or junk bonds are rated below Baa3 by Moody's and lower than BBB- at S&P.
Akorn's proposed credit pact consists of a $600 million term loan and a $75 million revolving credit line, according to a regulatory filing yesterday. JPMorgan Chase & Co. is providing the debt commitments.
Emerging Markets
The seven-year term loan will help fund the $640 million Hi-Tech deal, which the company expects will be completed in the first quarter of 2014, while the five-year revolver will be used by Lake Forest, Illinois-based Akorn for general corporate purposes, according to the filing. Under a revolver, money can be borrowed again once it's repaid; in a term loan, it can't.
In emerging markets, relative yields narrowed 3 basis points to 373 basis points, or 3.73 percentage points, according to JPMorgan's EMBI Global index. The measure has averaged 304.6 basis points this year.
Rising yields on benchmark Treasuries (USGG10YR) are putting the highest-rated corporate bonds on pace for their biggest losses since at least 1989, surpassing a 3.6 percent loss in 1999, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data.
Yields on 10-year Treasuries have climbed 1.14 percentage points to 2.77 percent since reaching a 2013 low of 1.63 percent on May 2. The extra yield investors demand to own AAA rated bonds instead of similar-maturity Treasuries has climbed 6 basis points to 70 basis points, the index data show.
AAAs Dwindle
Moody's is forecasting that default rates for speculative-grade companies globally will end 2013 at 3 percent before dropping to 2.5 percent in July 2014.
Yields on the lowest-rated debt, which have gained 196 percent since the end of 2008, have declined to 10.3 percent from 10.97 at the end of 2012 and as high as 41.3 percent in December 2008.
"There's a lot of interest-rate risk, particularly in the very highest-rated bonds," said Martin Fridson, the chief executive officer of New York-based FridsonVision LLC, a research firm that specializes in high-yield debt. "There isn't much reason to believe that credit risk is escalating at present, whereas Treasury yields have certainly shot up very sharply since the beginning of the year."
The importance of holding a AAA rating in the corporate-bond market has lessened as interest rates fell to unprecedented lows. The number of non-financial AAA companies in the U.S. has dwindled to four from more than 60 in the early 1980s, according to S&P.
"We may very well be at the end of a 30-year decline in rates," Fridson said. "So it could be a painful period for a while to come."

This is a very wide well maintained gravel road that passes over the highway on a newer cement bridge. I hid the cache well off the bridge to make it safe to park and walk up to. I have been placing several new caches in the area and this is one of my access roads to get to them. I figured It would help to have several small caches along the way to keep my bigger caches busy.

Jaw-dropping Stunt Team
The UK's number 1 mountain bike stund and display team enthralled Edmund Waller pupils on Wednesday 9th March 2011 with their death defying stunts. With every child from Reception to Year 6 recieving cycle training by our Edmund Waller cycling instructors at point or another during the school year, this performance was to highlight the fact that safe cycing was not only used to get to and from school but when cycling at all times.
As part of our commitment to building a sustainable community, we wanted to show children how much excitement they can have on a bike. Safety was also an important factor int he show higlighting the fact that brakes are important and being aware of others and our surroundings.
Two M.A.D. (Mountain Bike Aerial Display) stunt team cyclists performed their show on the ground, on a lower level of their staging and even up high above their Landrover. They hopped on their back wheel, explained why they did not have a seat, talked about the bennifits it had on keeping healthy,
|jumped from one part of the stage to the other and even took of their front wheel to carry out stunts. There was a lot of humor in the show as well as cycling up to the children and braking swiftly. We even had our own Gary and Tim as volunteers where they had to sit on the ground whilst on of the men jumped from a great height over them.
There was a point in the show when they were jumping over a bar from the floor and rasing the bar up. Talented stunts people!
During another part of the show there was a section that really got the children sitting at the edge of their seats. 4 children were asked to sit under the stunt apparatus whilst the M.A.D. stunt team performed tricks over them. I can tell you all our hearts stopped when watching this jaw-dropping performance.
The company has gained many awards worldwide and it was privilege to have them perform 4 shows at Edmund Waller. You can find out more about the M.A.D. by clicking here.
All in all the day was a magnificant success with the whole school community buzzing with excitement and wanting more. For a show like that, the M.A.D. company are putting a lot of smiles on people's faces whilst doing what they love to do. Just have a look at the photos of our Edmund Waller children.
Thank you to Mr Bardouille (Deputy Headteacher) and Lewisham Road Safety Team for organising this event.

Album sales at a 12 year low

published16 Apr 2012
Much has been made of the death – or, at the very least, mid-life crisis – of the album in the age of the mp3.
Recent figures from Music Week suggest that album sales are not in good health. Album sales in the last week were a measly 1,446,218 – 27.62% down week-on-week. The figures are the lowest since the turn of the century.
Singles sales, however, are up compared to this time last year. Adele's unstoppable 21 has returned to the top of the charts for the umpteenth time.

I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone here. I'm always looking to find good health info, sharing what I have found in my searching and helping others in their journey to good health.
I have been into raw foods since early 2005 and had been 100% raw for all of 2006 but unfortunately had an operation in early 2007 and I am just getting back into the raw food lifestyle again now (Dec 2007).
When I was 100% raw I was so full of energy, about 10 times the amount of anyone around me and I noticed a huge improvement in my complexion. It is true what they say … that there is a big difference between 90% & 100%. I really noticed the difference once I made the leap back then. At that time I had cured my high cholesterol within a couple of months (my doctor had said I was a walking time bomb before I went raw and I was having daily chest pains). After being raw for a couple of months (I can't remember exactly how long it took) my doctor said my cholesterol was "perfect" and needless to say no more chest pains.
I have no doubts that I will be back on track again living the live food high soon!!!

LavaLife Flirts With Virtual Dating
Great minds think alike. (Or is it, "Fools seldom differ"?)
Just as I was slamming online dating sites for not providing anything close to a real date experience, one of the biggest players — LavaLife — was working on that very thing. (Or at least someone was.)
I logged into LavaLife over the weekend (hey it's research!) and noted that a new icon appeared in member profiles: In amongst Send Mail, Send Smile, etc., there now appeared "Date Me".
My investigation revealed that this feature was just what it seemed: The ability to interact live with other members, and to actually experience things together. (Play games, etc.)
This feature is powered by OmniDate, who describes it as a "plug & play communication technology that transforms traditional dating and social networking sites into a 3D virtual dating experience (patent pending)."
Creating an avatar from my own photo
The coolest feature is that you can create a "3D" avatar in (more or less) your own image. I tried it and it was a snap. I just uploaded a photo of my face, then adjusted the position of a series of colored crosshairs. The instructions were nice and clear.
I submitted my photo, and the initial result was hilarious: an avatar that kind of resembled me but younger and with a huge mop of hair:
I adjusted my hair and wardrobe. For this to work really well, more customization is required. Right now, everyone looks young and slim and has plenty of hair (or is totally bald). Here's the closest I could get to "me":
I still thought it was pretty impressive technology. Especially seeing as my photo wasn't quite ideal: I was smiling, and apparently the app works best with non-smiling pictures.
Off I go on a virtual date
Armed with my customized avatar, I went looking for a date. And to my delight, it wasn't long before someone accepted my invitation...
But it simply didn't work. I just got a blank screen. Bummer.
I wrote an email to my would-be date, and found out it didn't work on her end either. Apparently, she could see my avatar, but there was no place for her to type!
Try, try again
I had better luck on my second attempt. On my end, everything seemed to be working okay. I could type in messages, laugh, flirt, touch my date's hand, etc.
Unfortunately, I couldn't receive any of my date's messages or see any actions she made. Her avatar just sat there like a lump. (We later confirmed by email that she was typing in messages. But they didn't make it to my end.)
There are a couple of games you can play on a date... but again, they simply weren't working when I tried them.
Obviously, it's hard to call something a success when it isn't working right. But still, I'm encouraged. At least OmniDate and LavaLife are heading in the right direction. (LavaLife isn't yet charging for this feature, presumably because they recognize there are "issues".)
Once they fix the bugs, it'll be a worthwhile feature. And once they improve the customization and (especially) add more things to do on dates, I think it'll be a big hit. Great potential.
P.S. If anyone has a LavaLife subscription, please give virtual dating a try and let me know (via comment) how it worked for you. Maybe my ancient Mac was partly to blame.
Great article! We are always looking to improve our product and are continually working on new features and ideas to provide the best dating experience to our clients and their users. Your feedback is always appreciated.
We would like to look into that connection issue you've described above, so perhaps you can reach out to me via email and I can gather the information I need to investigate.
Thank you again,
Rocco @ OmniDate
I did not want to go on a "blind" virtual date. you should be able to review their profile before you say yesy.
Funny you should say that, because I remember thinking the same thing. I was invited on a date... but wasn't sure who was asking. So I ignored the invitation.
If I recall correctly... upon investigation, it turned out the message DID tell me who was asking. But it was so subtle I didn't notice. (Bear in mind, this all happens on a pop-up screen, and you have a limited time to respond.)
The first question ANY prospective date will have is "Who's asking?" So the answer should be really obvious -- an unmistakable link to the asker's profile, and a thumbnail photo.
Thanks for the input.

One of the highlights of this summer's public art offerings — particularly set, as it is, against so-so sculptures by John Chamberlain and mediocre ones by Niki de Saint Phalle just across Park Avenue — stands conspicuously in the courtyard of one of Midtown's midcentury modern landmarks, Lever House. The Bruce High Quality Foundation's "The New Colossus" (2012), part of the collective's exhibition "Art History With Labor" (through September 28), is a full-scale bronze replica of the inflatable rat union members often position outside construction sites where non-union workers are being employed.

You Can Buy Chuck Close's Tapestry Portrait of Barack Obama for $100,000
Chuck Close is already quite a decorated painter, but he now has one more line to add to his resume: presidential portraitist. Earlier this week, a tapestry depicting President Obama by the artist was unveiled at the Mint Museum in North Carolina in honor of the Democratic National Convention. The tapestry is one of 10 that will be made available for sale (at $100,000 each) as part of a fundraiser supporting the Obama Victory Fund. (more…)

I'm almost ready to bite the bullet and enroll with GCU online. I would appreciate any feedback; the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'm thinking of taking stats through them, too. Has anyone taken stats through them and how... Read More
- 0Mar 28, '12 by nrsyannI'm finishing my first class with GCU; Professional Dynamics. You have me nervous for stats! I have a Mac with office and haven't had any issues with sending files. Did you not use GCUs template for APA? I'll look at PERRLA to see what that's all about. Congrats on being almost done!!
- 0Mar 29, '12 by Cr8zyamyDo not worry to much, just have a plan in case you need help. The style guide was just "ok". I always had something not quite perfect on my formatting, usually in the reference page. I truly do reccomend the PERRLA program. It will create a database of all your citations that you can just click on to add to another paper. Say you cite your current textbook in a paper two months down the line, using PERRLA you don't have to remember which paper you used it in to do a copy and paste, you'd just click on create a citation then open your database. Point and click.... Love it!

Health Tech Leader Joins Deloitte Center for Health Solutions
John Glaser Named Senior Advisor to Center
WASHINGTON -- John Glaser, chief information officer of Partners Healthcare and one of the industry's leading authorities on health technology and innovation, is joining the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions as a senior advisor to the Center's Care Delivery Innovation efforts, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP announced today.
Glaser will advise the Center for Health Solutions and provide insight to Deloitte clients on a range of subject areas, including transformation of care delivery through health information technology, large-scale health information technology project management, clinical information systems, and other areas of innovation relevant to health providers. Glaser also will advise the Center on areas of convergence across provider, health plans and life science companies, such as regional connectivity efforts, personalized medicine and telemedicine.
"John Glaser's experience and passion will be invaluable as the Center works to support the adoption of innovative tools to improve the quality of health care in America," said Tommy G. Thompson, the independent chairman of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions. "Our health system is in the dark ages when it comes to implementing information technology in hospitals and doctors offices to protect the health of patients. We can -- and must -- do better."
"I am pleased to join the Center for Health Solutions to work with Deloitte and its clients on innovative health care delivery systems," Glaser said. "The Center is committed to working with all health care stakeholders -- hospitals, doctors, health plans, governments, employers and patients -- to meet the challenges of effectively adopting and implementing information technology systems."
The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions was created in 2005 to develop answers to the most difficult challenges facing health care by bringing all sides together to find common ground solutions to shared problems. The Center is examining what work works in health care and why, and is developing innovative ideas to make health care more efficient, more affordable and more accessible -- with one of the major areas of study being health information technology. More information on the Center is available at http://www.deloitte.com/us/healthsolutions.
"Deloitte is committed to supporting the Center's mission of developing independent, insightful and innovative solutions to the challenges facing the life science and health care industry," said John Bigalke, vice chairman and U.S. managing partner for Deloitte's Life Sciences and Health Care practice. "The addition of John Glaser to our team of thought leaders will enable the Center to engage in solutions-driven dialogue on this most critical opportunity."
Glaser is the vice president and chief information officer at Partners HealthCare System, Inc., in Massachusetts. Glaser was the founding chairman of the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) and is the past president of the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS).
Glaser is a fellow of HIMSS, CHIME and the American College of Medical Informatics, and has been awarded the John Gall award for health care CIO of the year. He is currently the chairman of the eHealth Initiative and has been a member of the Board of the American Medical Informatics Association.

Residential View - Mount Royal
Postcards from the Past, PC 907
I have been very lucky over the last week to meet a number of people who are passionate about their communities. At the Heritage Round Table last Thursday, I was able to hear people speak about Haysboro and Meadowlark Park. I also heard a presenter from the This is My Cecil project talk about the community feeling engendered by that wonderful old hotel and importance of a touch point like The Cecil for the community that existed here in the East Village in the past. I was also able to speak with "Uncle Buck" who is the editor of the East Village View, an important information resource for the people of this East Village community. It may be that as the city grows, the communities that make it become more important. We all want to feel a part of a larger group and many of us want others to know the stories of our communities. I live in the community I was brought up in. It is just over 50 years old and was the 'burb of its day, but is now considered to be nearly inner city.
I am very proud of my community. If you have strong feelings about your community, or just "community" as a general concept, you may want to consider volunteering with Jane's Walk to give a tour of your community or to help with other things. Jane's Walks have been happening since 2007, with the first walk in Toronto. Since then a dozen other cities have started Jane's Walks. Calgary is one of those cities. The walks are a way to combine a simple stroll around the neighbourhood with stories from the people who live there, people who know the history and local lore of the area. They are named in honour of Jane Jacobs, a visionary thinker, whose book The Death and Life of Great American Cities championed the interests of residents and pedestrians over the car-centred approach to urban planning that was then the norm. She stood up for old buildings and their refurbishment, rather than their destruction. She changed the way we thought about urban life. Her work would inspire generations of urban planners and community activists.
Jane's Walks are a series of free neighbourhood walking tours that aim to put people in touch with their environment and their neighbours. They are given, free of charge, by people who have an interest in their neighbourhood. They aren't necessarily about architecture or history or planning – they offer a more personal take on the neighbourhood; local lore and culture, issues facing residents, the social history of the area. If you are interested in Jane's Walk, it will take place in Calgary on May 1 & 2, 2010. It is organized by the Calgary Foundation and starting in April you will be able to see the roster of walks at www.thecalgaryfoundation.org. If you would like to volunteer to be a walk leader, or would like to volunteer in any other capacity you can contact Julie Black at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 403-802-7720. You can get more information about Jane's Walks on the website www.janeswalk.net.
If you are interested in leading a walk in your community (or if you are just interested in the history of your community) we have wonderful resources here at the Calgary Public Library in the Community Heritage and Family History collection. We would be delighted to help you find information to enhance your "Jane's Walk" of your community. You can find us at the Central Library, 616 Macleod Trail SE, on the 4th floor; you can telephone us at 403-260-2785 or you can contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Origin: From vase, from vas
Webster Dictionary
a vessel adapted for various domestic purposes, and anciently for sacrificial uses; especially, a vessel of antique or elegant pattern used for ornament; as, a porcelain vase; a gold vase; a Grecian vase. See Illust. of Portland vase, under Portland

A vase is an open container, often used to hold cut flowers. It can be made from a number of materials including ceramics and glass. The vase is often decorated and thus used to extend the beauty of its contents. Vases are defined as having a certain anatomy. Lowest is the foot, a distinguishable base to the piece. The design of the base may be bulbous, flat, carinate, or another shape. Next, the body, which forms the main and often largest portion of the piece. Resting atop the body is the shoulder, where the body curves inward. Then the neck, where the vase is given more height. Lastly, the lip, where the vase flares back out at the top. All these attributes can be seen in the picture at right. Many vases are also given handles. Today, the shapes of vases have evolved from the conventional ones to modern designs and shapes. The vase has also developed as an art medium unto itself. The ancient Greeks famously used vases to depict scenes. It has since been developed and in 2003 the winner of the Turner Prize was Grayson Perry, for vase art.

8 Year Old Girl Has Amazing Dribbling Skills
his eight-year-old girl has better ball control than you, your friends and most members of the NBA. She also loves Jesus, and by the look of the skills she displays in this video, Jesus loves her back.
Video of her amazing talent was spotted by Bro Bible, and it features more physical precision than you could ever expect out of someone her age.
Maneuver after maneuver, this young girl (who is unnamed so far as we can tell) dominates the ball with lightning-fast agility. One ball. Two balls. Behind the back. Through the legs. It doesn't matter.
Her parents keep track of each drill, timing her as she goes through each series and keeping track of the many records she's on the cusp of breaking. It's unclear what list of results her parents are consulting, but we'll assume it's not eight-year-old dribbling records.
These have to be world records, and fractions of a second are the only difference between this girl and being the fastest dribbler on the planet.

... Offering 100% pastured, humanely and naturally raised meats to New England and the nation.
...that animals were placed upon this earth in our care.
We strive to be good shepherds by offering the best pasturage, cleanest waters and protection from predators to our flocks of sheep and chickens and herds of cattle and pigs.
We LOVE what we do, we enjoy the early mornings, long days and the pleasure of watching any of our animals graze and grow as they were created to do.
We hope you enjoy the 'fruit' of our harvest.
Fall is short, no matter the length. Harvesting is the glorious conclusion to an explosive season of growth. As we look towards colder months, we are truly thankful for an amazing summer. The chickens did the best they have ever done and the freezer is bulging with them. Despite all of the lovely animals, our summer has been an unsettled one. Our processor, Tri-Town Packing no longer has their USDA inspection and is working to have it re-instated. Jeff & Tom Liberty are continuing their efforts to be able to offer the inspection of folks like us, who need this to sell individual cuts to our customers. Thank you for your notes of encouragment!
> > Read more > >
... and don't forget to check us out on Facebook for updates on what we and our animals are up to!
It has been a smashing success as the brits would say. We hit over $40K in the last 6 months, $20K in the first 4 weeks! Our building is up, trusses and walls up, roofing on and now the finish work. Over the winter we will install windows & doors, ceiling will be put in and lots of small items will be finished.
We are SO excited. Not just because we are nearing the end but that the building we first envisioned isn't a tenth of what we have now. YOU invested and allowed us to build a greener Shipping Shed. The walls are insulated at R20 +, the walk in is larger and better insulated and we have gone for a different truss to allow for more storage. So, we close the Investor Club excited at what has been accomplished. Plenty of meat to be shipped to those who invested, ya gotta be excited about that, right?

Please help us in welcoming Mrs. Jump Rope to the hive!
Hello there, Hive!! I'm super excited to be joining you as Mrs. Jump Rope.
Papa Jump Rope and I are the proud parents of Baby Jump Rope, who is only one week shy of turning six months old. We live in a wonderful neighborhood a few minutes north of downtown Pittsburgh, PA, with our two rescue cats. I'm a Pittsburgh girl, born and raised, and our family bleeds Black and Gold!
We wanted to start a family right after we were married but much to our disappointment, it wasn't as easy as we had hoped. Several years, a handful of doctors, a whole lot of blood taking and some further testing, I was diagnosed with PCOS and started on fertility treatments. It took a few cycles, but on February 14, 2011 I found out that I was pregnant!
Papa Jump works as an engineer, designing and testing healthcare equipment. I work as a graphic designer in my home studio and design wedding stationery and party invitations. Being a WAHM gives me the best of both worlds: I stay home with our daughter all day long, and work in the evenings in my home studio. We have lots of family time, and I truly enjoy being able to stay home and raise our daughter.
I can't wait to share our journey toward parenthood with you! I'll share our struggles trying to conceive, our experience with fertility treatments, snippets of our pregnancy and my positive c-section experience. And, of course, I'll be sharing stories about the littlest Jumper and our lives as a family of three. We've learned a lot in the past six months, and I hope to share my experience with you!
I can't wait to get to know you all! xo

Me writing another review of Android and the Nexus 4 helps no one. You likely don't want to or need to read another review of a handset that has been out for a few months. Knowing the demographics of my readership, this post likely is of little interest to you as a card carrying member of the iOS brethren.
So, why write it?
Apple users are always quick to point out how the company sweats the small details that "surprise and delight" their users. Things that you don't think of, but in the end seem totally obvious.
As I have been using the Nexus 4 as my primary phone the past few weeks, I have discovered a whole new set of surprising and delightful traits in Android that I would absolutely love for Cupertino to get out their photocopiers for.
Do I think they will? Probably not. Most of these things are admittedly kinda nerdy and not necessarily tailored towards the mainstream market that Apple pundits seem to be convinced the company only caters to.
So, without further ado a completely random list of little details and niceties I have found in Android:
- Swiping away notifications rather than aiming for a tiny "x"? Yes, please!
- The lock screen is customizable. I installed DashClock which gives me not only the time, but the number of unread texts and Facebook messages I have, the current temperature and a variety of other customizable options. My lock screen is now way more useful.
- I have a widget on my home screen that just lets me quickly toggle the WiFi and Bluetooth radios instead of finding the Settings app and drilling down to do the same thing.
- Swiping down in the notification center, there is button that will expose buttons to toggle the radios or enter Airplane mode. Way quicker.
- The vertical application switcher with a more visual preview of my app rather than just a small app icon is more useful.
- In the Google Maps app there is an "Update Route" button that lets me change directions if I happen to make a wrong turn or am not paying much attention and get sidetracked.
- When I save a new article to Pocket from any device, it immediately syncs to Pocket on my Nexus 4. No syncing on launch. It's always up-to-date.
- Scenario: you get a new iMessage from someone. You don't have time to respond to it right now, but you don't wanna send a read receipt so you have to ignore it. Launching the Messages app will instantly take you to that unread message though, so you can't open Messages until you get a second message from someone else. The Android Messaging app does not immediately go to the first unread message. Instead it will stay in whatever view you were last in. A little less smart, but more useful for me.
- Avatars in text messages make things more personal. The iPad has this and I wish the iPhone would steal it too.
- Android will automatically prune messages so that it isn't an always growing memory hog. In my case I have it set to only keep the last 500 messages per text conversation.
- The Android equivalent of a tab bar is swipeable. For instance, if you open the Phone app you can swipe left to right to switch between the dialer, call history and your contacts.
- I can browse the Play store in a real actual Web browser and install apps directly from it. Bonus points for not having to store copies of my apps in iTunes or an equivalent app on my Mac.
- When I press the power button to turn off the screen, the effect is like turning off an old fashioned TV like grandma used to have. How skeuomorphic!
I could write an equivalent post about the little things that annoy me about Android, but you can do a quick Google search and find a few dozen articles that already cover that.
How long do I plan to use Android full-time? I can't say for sure. I am excited to see what Apple has to offer with the iPhone 5S/6/Millenium Edition and iOS 7, but right now I'm enjoying this greener grass.

Two Perspectives on Presbyterian Divestment from U.S. Multinationals that Sustain the Occupation
(Cross-posted from Tikkun Daily By Cantor Michael Davis and M.J. Rosenberg)
Editor's Note from Rabbi Michael Lerner: We invited the Religious Action Center of the Reform Movement and J Street, both of which have opposed the Presbyterian divestment resolution, to respond to those who support the Presbyterian resolution. Neither agreed to do so. Tikkun has sought to be a safe space in which both sides could present their thinking. But it's hard to get the two sides in the Jewish world to sit together and discuss the issues, since anyone who supports even the very limited form of divestment proposed by the Presbyterians is, as J Street's Jeremy Ben Ami said recently in explaining his opposition to any form of Boycotts, Divestments or Sanctions, crossing "a red line" and hence, in the view of the Jewish establishment, automatically suspect of being anti-Semitic. We believe a public debate is a more healthy way to conduct this discussion, and so we are disappointed that neither J Street nor the Reform Movement accepted our invitation.
Presbyterian Divestment - A Jewish Perspective
by Cantor Michael Davis, Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinical Council
The first time I wore a kippa and talit outside of a synagogue setting was four year ago outside a hotel in downtown Chicago overlooking the Chicago river. I was singing with a group of my colleagues, local Reform cantors, to protest the mistreatment of hotel workers. I had the privilege of getting to know worker leaders, edit a national clergy report into worker conditions and organize my fellow clergy in Chicago. This was an exciting time - we took over the lobby of a Hyatt hotel with a flashmob, met with senior executives, collaborated with Christian clergy, traveled to other cities and on and on. Last summer, four years after their last contract expired, the Hyatt workers finally won a fair labor contract from management.
The lessons I learned from this successful worker justice campaign have relevance for me in thinking about how to end Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank.
The lasting lesson this experience taught me was that in any dispute between two parties of disparate power, the more powerful party will object to the involvement of third parties. In the case of the Hyatt labor dispute, management argued that this should be resolved between management and labor; the public should stay out of it. Israel, is by far, the more powerful side in the Israel-Palestine conflict: militarily, financially, politically. In Israel's case, American Jews are told that only the Israelis have the right to an opinion on the Palestinians. After all, their future is at stake not ours. Americans, including Jews, have been accused of anti-Semitism or being fellow travelers of Jew-haters. We are told to stay out of it.
Yet our involvement in Israel-Palestine as Jews and as Americans is necessary and valuable. In the case of Hyatt, management was clearly disturbed by the public's engagement with the issue. Hyatt Corporation's most senior executives devoted many hours to meetings with clergy - particularly rabbis - who supported the workers. In the case of Israel, the international movement speaking up for Palestinian human rights is of great concern to Israel.
In Detroit, in a couple of days, the Presbyterian General Assembly will debate divesting from three companies that are complicit in Israel's military occupation and colonization of the West Bank.
I, an Israeli national who served three years in the IDF, and who has served the Jewish community in Chicago for over 20 years, support the right of our Presbyterian friends to freely explore their conscience on divesting from American companies that benefit from Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank. I will be at the Presbyterian General Assembly arguing for divestment. I believe, along with a growing number of Jews and Israelis that BDS is the best non-violent option to stop the downward spiral to inevitable violence. For Jews - and for Christians - divestment is a principled position. As a supporter of BDS myself, I know how much effort the mainstream Jewish community is putting into shutting down this debate and excluding BDS supporters from the Jewish community. I would challenge those who are trying to shut down the Presbyterian debate to show how the motives of those supporting divestment are anything less than honest. This is unworthy of us as Jews and particularly egregious when directed at our Christian neighbors.First, we should note that under international and American law, Israel's occupation of the West Bank is illegal. Any business involved in the occupation is therefore illegal too. That alone should be enough to keep American companies away from the Occupation. The Israeli government argues that the occupation is necessary in order to keep Israel safe. How does building Jewish cities on stolen Palestinian land or the daily harassment and humiliation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians make Israelis more safe? All indications are that antagonizing Palestinians imperils Israeli lives.

Northrop Grumman To Highlight Global Defence And Homeland Security Capabilities At IDEX 2013
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) will highlight a wide range of defence and security solutions, including cyber-protected C4I solutions, airborne early warning and control systems, aerial surveillance, fire control radars and marine navigation systems, at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121024/LA98563LOGO)
IDEX 2013 is the only tri-service defence and security exhibition in the Middle East and North Africa region and will be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre Feb. 17-21. Northrop Grumman's exhibit in the U.S. pavilion will be at Stand 03-C08 and CS-1.
"Northrop Grumman's strong relationship with the Gulf Cooperation Council countries goes back many decades and is built on a legacy of trust and performance," said David Perry, corporate vice president and chief global business development officer, Northrop Grumman. "Our objective is to continue to work closely with our customers to provide long-term capability solutions and help enhance defence and national security across the region."Northrop Grumman will showcase the world-leading airborne early warning capabilities of its E-2D Advanced Hawkeye with a crew workstation and flyable cockpit simulator in the exhibit stand to demonstrate the E-2D's benefits for military and civil applications. The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye couples a newly designed electronically scanned radar with a matching suite of sensors, avionics, processors, software and displays to provide the most technologically advanced command and control capability available worldwide. The AN/APY-9 radar is the backbone of this aircraft and provides greater flexibility and significantly improved detection and tracking over all terrains. Northrop Grumman has delivered nine E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft to the U.S. Navy and initial operational capability with the U.S. Navy fleet is on track for 2015. The programme was recently approved to enter full-rate production by the Office of the Secretary of Defense after the E-2D was declared operationally suitable and effective following a 10-month initial operational test and evaluation by the Navy.

RELEASED: Sept. 10, 2007
EAU CLAIRE — "It's All Gone Pete Tong" (2004), a faux biopic that was selected Best Feature Film at the Toronto Film Festival, will be presented Thursday-Sunday, Sept. 13-16, at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The film will screen at 6 and 8:30 p.m. in Davies Theatre.
Frankie Wilde (Paul Kaye) is a celebrated British DJ whose career is cut down by an unthinkable occurrence: the loss of his hearing. After "it's all gone Pete Tong" cockney — rhyming slang for "it's all gone wrong" — can Frankie function in a world without sound? Will he make it back to the DJ booth? Will he regain his opulent superstar life, or does he even want it back?
"The downward arc of the first two acts of the movie is made harrowing and yet perversely amusing by the performance of Paul Kaye, a British comedian who sees Frankie as a clown who overacts even in despair," wrote film critic Roger Ebert. "Then comes salvation in the form of a speech therapist named Penelope (Beatriz Batarda) ... The movie works because of its heedless comic intensity. Kaye and his writer-director, Michael Dowse, chronicle the rise and fall of Frankie Wilde as other directors have dealt with emperors and kings. Frankie may not be living the most significant life of our times, but tell that to Frankie."
The 90-minute dark comedy is rated R.
Admission is $2 for International Film Society members and UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff and $1 for UW-Eau Claire students. Tickets are available at the Service Center, 715-836-3727, in Davies Center's east lobby and will be sold at the door.
The film is sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the Student Senate.
