So my dad and I bought this old 1960's M416 trailer to build for expedition camping. I completely removed the tongue and frame from the tub, had it sand blasted and powdercoated and replaced all the nuts, bolts and washers with new zinc ones and replaced all the rubber gromets (basically all hardware was replaced) and then reassembled. We then did a spring over, and dad put on the same 33's and matching wheels like the ones on his '79 CJ-7 Golden Eagle Jeep. Between those 2 upgrades it raised the trailer like 4", so its easier to see now. We then had the tub sent off to the powdercoaters. Next we added a tool box to the tongue, using some square tubing to raise it up from the tongue some and give good mounting points. We also added one 5 gallon propane tank behind each fender flare and one 3 gallon Rotopax gas can in front of each fender flare on both sides of the trailer. Recently we had a custom lid made by Sierra4x4trailers.com and bought the ARB Sampson III RTT. To mount the RTT to the lid we used Thule tracks, feet and crossbars. In addition, we installed some LED lights in the tent that are wired to a deep cycle gel battery in the tongue-mounted toolbox. We also, just had the lid painted, and while we had the lid off, we removed the tub, flipped it over and sprayed a rubberized coating on the bottom. Now we just need to paint the tub. Dad and I are arguing over the color, I say leave it all flat grey like it is now, but dad wants to paint it to match the Jeep (1979 Alpaca Brown Metallic) for show purposes. My arguement is that we arent building it for car shows, we're building it for camping. Although, I'll admit, it will look sharp match painted and behind his jeep. Oh well, like dad says, when I inherit it...I can paint it whatever damn color I want. Heres the pics. MORE TO COME!!!!!

Hey, There's a New Deleted 'New Moon' Scene Out, if Anyone's Interested (VIDEO)
So, you may or may not be aware, but there was this little-noticed movie, New Moon, that came out last year, and it apparently developed something of a fan base.
Anyway, a deleted scene from this New Moon movie—we think it was a spy thriller or something—made its way onto the Internet today, and we're just gonna put it here in case there's some mild curiosity.
If you're familiar with this movie, feel free to offer your thoughts in the comments section about whether this scene would have improved the overall film.

Oct. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Petroleos Mexicanos has reached the 9.49 percent stake it targeted in Repsol YPF SA, taking its combined holding with Sacyr Vallehermoso SA to 29.5 percent, the two companies said in a regulatory filing.
According to the latest public information, Repsol holds no treasury stock, meaning those percentages are equivalent to voting rights, the companies said in Madrid today.

Need instructions on how to sew a dress? Try the girl's braided dress from Jessica Gerblick, a simple, chic summer dress to make for your daughter. This free long dress pattern is so easy, you won't even believe it.
- 1.5 yards of fabric
- Coordinating thread
- 3 buttons
- Pattern
Print Pattern and cut pieces as follows:
Cut (3) 44"L x 3"W pieces of fabric
For Size 2 Cut:
Cut (2) 9L" x 44W" pieces of fabric for skirt pieces
For Size 3 Cut:
Cut (2) 13L" x 44W" pieces of fabric for skirt pieces
For Size 4 Cut:
Cut (2) 16L" x 44W" pieces of fabric for skirt pieces
For Size 5 Cut:
Cut (2) 18L" x 44W" pieces of fabric for skirt pieces
We will start with the skirt bottom. Take the 2 skirt pieces and match raw edges right sides together. Sew up the Length side seams on one side fully, and on the other side - sew almost all the way to the top, leaving 2" unsewn from top edge. See Photo:
Press seams open.
Turn bottom hem under ¼" towards the wrong side of the fabric and Press. Turn under again ¼", enclosing raw edge, and Press. Sew hem closed.
Sew a line of gathering stitches along the top edge of the skirt and set aside.
Take the front bodice and back bodice and sew right sides together at ONE side seam. Repeat for lining. Be sure to sew on the same side seam for both fabrics! See Photo:
Now, placing the exterior bodice and the lining bodice right sides together, sew along side and upper edges, leaving the bottom edge open. Turn Right side out and press. See Photo:
Gather the stitches along the top of the skirt until they are the length of the bottom of the bodice.
Slip gathered edge inside the bottom of the bodice and pin in place. Sew. See Photo:
Sew buttonholes along opening in side of bodice, spaced evenly. Sew buttons on other side to match up. See Photo:
Taking the 44" x 3" piece of fabric, start rolling on one side, pinning as you go, until you get to the end. It helps to roll it in cycles, little by little, pinning and unpinning. See Photo:
When you get to the end and it is all pinned up, gently put a thin strip of fabric glue at the end of each roll along the entire strip until it is all rolled together.
For a thicker, more firm roll, wrap fabric around piping and glue at the end.
Repeat for all 3 pieces.
Once the fabric glue is all dry, with the three pieces all lined up, take a piece of tape and stick them together to a surface you can work on. Start braiding, be sure to keep even while braiding, until you reach the end. Secure the bottom with tape as well. See Photo:
Finding the middle of your braid, attach to the top of your front bodice and pin in place (I found it easier to push the pins through the back). See Photo:
Now this part you will have to sew on my hand (unless you have a heavy duty sewing machine). Attach braid to top of dress. As you can see, I hand sewed all along the back, whipstitching it on top, and kind of just securing the bottom (I get lazy with hand sewing, you might want to be more secure...lol). See Photo:
At this point I tried the dress on my daughter to see where I wanted the straps to fall, and where I should line the braid up in the back. Once I had that marked we were able to continue...
Undoing the bottom of the braids, at my marked point, I started weaving them together. Continue this only for about an inch. Then separate braids, and braid as normal again. See Photo:
Now, because I wasn't smart enough to figure out exact placement before, I need to VERY CAREFULLY snip open 2 small areas in the stitching of the top of the back bodice, where I want the straps to enter. See Photo:
- Slip braids inside, pin and very carefully sew closed.

Football - College (Div I-A and Div I-AA) Tickets
NCAA Football Promo Code: DISCOUNT
All About College Football
College football is the pulse of campuses and entire states in some cases during the fall, and QueenBeeTickets.com is your place to purchase NCAA football tickets for sale. The sport is incredibly popular, and this is clearly evident when you consider that 11 NCAA teams drew more fans on average in 2011 than the No. 1 team in the NFL in attendance, the Dallas Cowboys. Michigan averaged 112,179 fans per game, and Ohio State, Alabama, Penn State and Texas all averaged more than 100,000 per contest. Tennessee, LSU and Georgia averaged more than 90,000 a game.
The passion for the sport reaches a boiling point when rivalry games are added to the mix. These games are especially intense as teams only play each other once a year in the regular season. This is unique among major American sports. Some of the biggest rivalries are Minnesota-Wisconsin, Cincinnati-Miami University, North Carolina-Virginia, Auburn-Georgia, Oregon-Oregon State, Indiana-Purdue, California-Stanford, Army-Navy, Michigan-Ohio State and Oklahoma-Texas. College football tickets to these games are especially in demand, and QueenBeeTickets.com is the best place to go to pick them up at low prices.
The major teams play in the 120-member Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). All but four of those schools play in 11 conferences. The independent institutions are Army, BYU, Navy and Notre Dame. New FBS teams in 2012 include Massachusetts, South Alabama, Texas State and Texas-San Antonio. Charlotte, Georgia State and Old Dominion are expected to join the ranks in future years.
Championship games are played between division winners at the conclusion of the regular season in six of the conferences. These include the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Conference USA, Mid-American, Pacific-12 and Southeastern. Leagues that decide their champions based on who finishes first in the standings include the Big East, Big 12, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Western Athletic. Discount NCAA football tickets are available at QueenBeeTickets.com for games hosted by each of these popular teams.
Discount NCAA football tickets are also available at QueenBeeTickets.com for each of the 35 bowl games that are played in December and January. Teams that win six of 12 games or seven of 13 contests are eligible to be selected for a bowl game. The later bowl games are generally the more prestigious. These include the Fiesta, Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls. NCAA football tickets for sale are coveted items for each of these four prestigious bowl games.
The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) national championship game is the contest in which college football tickets are most in demand. The game has been held on an annual basis since the 1999 season. Prior to that campaign, the national champion was based on which teams topped various polls taken of people such as journalists and coaches. Three teams have won two BCS titles apiece: Alabama, Florida and LSU. Southeastern Conference schools have claimed eight of the 13 titles awarded entering the 2012 season. Starting in 2014, the NCAA will run a four-team playoff system that will last until at least the 2025 season.
"I surprised my daughter and son-in-law with tickets to see Wicked at Gershwin Theater as a gift for their anniversary. The tickets were cheaper than on the other sites I compared to. The transaction was simple and the tickets arrived quickly. They had a great time at the theater. I bookmarked your site for future use. Thanks!"
New York, NY
"My boss sponsored an employee appreciation outing for his top 10 sales performers. As his secretary, I was asked to find and purchase 11 hockey tickets for a Friday night game within his budget. After looking around for quite some time, I ended up buyig the tickets here. The price was right and the seats were good. I'll definitely order from QueenBeeTickets.com next time."

"Super Bowl tickets were easy to order. Good price. Fast delivery."

Phils lose 5-3 on Kemp's 2-run HR in 12th
The no-decision was the ninth for Lee - and the seventh in a game that went extra innings. The three-time All-Star allowed a run and two hits, the eighth time in 16 starts that he yielded fewer than three earned runs.
Lee's only victory was on July 4, when he beat the Mets 9-2 at New York. In his other start this season against the Dodgers, he retired 21 of his first 24 batters and took a shutout into the eighth before giving up a two-run double to Elian Herrera in a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia.
"Not once this year have I said anything about being frustrated," Lee said. "I can only control what I can control, and that's to make pitches, get as deep into the game as I can and try to give the team a chance to win. I would have loved to win this game, but it's over now and there's nothing you can do about it. I thought I pitched a good game. I made a mistake to Rivera in the second and he hit a home run, but otherwise, things went really well."
The Phillies used four relievers in the ninth, including Michael Schwimer, who escaped a bases-loaded jam by striking out pinch-hitter James Loney.
Kershaw allowed a run and five hits, struck out seven and walked none. It was the 13th time in 20 starts this season that he allowed fewer than three earned runs, and he is 6-3 in those games.
"For the most part, I was able to throw strikes and just kind of make them beat me," Kershaw said. "We needed a win, so we'll take them any way we can get them right now. We battled all the way through and Matty came up huge again. But the big inning was getting to Papelbon and getting back in the game. That's the sign of a good team."
NOTES: Kershaw remained 0-4 in eight career starts against Philadelphia with a 2.88 ERA. He faced them on June 4 at Philadelphia, giving up three runs over seven innings during the Dodgers' four-game sweep. ... Rivera is 7-for-30 against Lee with four homers. ... Pence was 0-for-3 against Kershaw and has one hit in 18 career at-bats against him. ... C Carlos Ruiz batted cleanup in place of 1B Ryan Howard, who is 2 for 11 against Kershaw and didn't start. The 2006 NL MVP pinch-hit in the ninth and singled.

In 1976, Joan Barnes—a Californian mom frustrated with the lack of spaces where she could take her kids for safe and age-appropriate play time—took matters into her own hands and founded Gymboree Play & Music. In the decades since Gymboree's founding, Joan's vision of a safe place where youngsters could build confidence and creativity has come to fruition and spread to 30 countries around the globe. Staffed by attentive and expertly trained instructors, each Gymboree outpost adheres to a curriculum of activities designed by experts to foster the development of children's' cognitive, physical, and social skills through structured play and close readings of Goodnight Moon. The staffers also conduct entertaining classes that cover subjects ranging from music to sports, imparting valuable lessons of imagination and physical activity to developing minds. To further set apart her business, Barnes employed nationally renowned playground designer Jay Beck to design the proprietary play equipment at her centers.
A gallery of masterpieces showcases stunningly virtuosic renderings?which are especially impressive considering they were created by kids. While fostering a friendly, cheerful atmosphere, instructors teach classical art skills to classes of up to 12 students at a time. During weekly classes, the skilled instructors demonstrate how to realistically illustrate animals, figures, and still-life scenes using traditional media. "Creativity follows mastery" is the KidsArt philosophy, so they designed the sort of program they imagine the old masters would have approved. Planting graphite sticks and paintbrushes in pupils' hands, instructors teach color mixing, show students how to break an image into its component parts, and instill necessary behaviors such as focus and patience. Programs include individualized drawing and painting lessons and special-topic workshops, such as clay sculpture, figure drawing, and Anime/cartooning.
Though freedom to choose your own pairings is good for believers in true love and eclectic décor, professionally paired flavor combos showcase the best qualities of each ingredient. A retail shop outfitted with a handsome tasting bar, California Wine and Cheese stocks wines produced exclusively in California, regularly consisting of over 200 selections. Wine flights consist of four to five samplings and change every Friday, giving customers a chance to gain a broad appreciation for all kinds of wine. If you've already sampled one or more wines from the flight, just wait a week and new choices of red or white wine will magically appear. To complement the characteristics of each wine, a sampling of imported and domestic cheeses accompanies each flight. Because California Wine and Cheese sells the goods to take home, you can purchase the wines and cheeses you like best to re-create the pairings at home for dinner guests and culinarily curious cats.
The Yoga Cove reaches out to yogis with energy renewing, spiritually refreshing classes. Inside the peaceful, sunlit studio, a gleaming turquoise floor beckons those who would be at one with their minds and bodies as a pair of expert teachers offer tips and strategies about deepening the practice and approaching poses that previously lurked under the bed. Try the restorative class, which employs props and extended pose holds, or pop into a beginners session to see what your body's been missing. An all-levels class challenges players at every stage in the yoga game, and the intermediate/advanced session twists practiced students into new limb-flexing positions, such as the Lotus or the Melancholy Corkscrew.
With more than 30 years of kid-entertaining experience, The Little Gym provides a safe and noncompetitive environment wherein wee ones can exercise their brains and bodies. Maturing moppets aged 4 months to 3 years glean social and cognitive skills from a parent-child program that helps developing minds learn colors and numbers and helps parents learn to take turns and share. Gymnastics allows energized preschoolers to tumble at their own pace and caters to differing ages, levels of muscle development, and hatred of vegetables. Grade-school gymnasts tackle the mat, bar, vault, and beam in classes set to their ability, not age. Dance and cheerleading classes allow the rhythmically inclined to shake and sway and the vocally enthused to yell things other than other people's Social Security numbers.
Foothill Gym has been a leader in fitness for over 24 years. With 40+ group exercise classes each week, a huge line of machines and freeweights plus a state of the art cardio room with CardioTheater, Foothill Gym has something for everyone. Our expert staff and trainers are available answer all your questions.

Simple Desk & Hutch (Natural) is rated out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by happymom11 from Great desk! I'm very happy with this desk. I actually purchased two in the natural finish for my two sons, ages 6 and 4 ½. The desk is sturdy and solid. I love all of the drawers, especially the deep lower drawer. I bought it at the end of this past school year and my 6 year old stored his large kindergarten binder in it which was filled with all of his work that he had done through-out the year. Even with the binder in it, the drawer still had plenty of room to fit other things. Also, it's important to note that the drop-down keyboard drawer can be used as a regular drawer. Unlike other drop-down keyboard drawers, this drawer has sides to it so your child can store his crayons and pencils in there. That's how both of my sons use that drawer. I love the desk and definitely recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lawrence from Great desk and hutch Strong and beautiful. Solid wood, well constructed, nice finish that is light on the varnish. Drawers roll easily, but fit is only good, not great. Desk is quite large; my ten year old is just big enough for it and it will take him through high school. Love the hutch. It is beautiful and strong. Excellent value overall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Olympia from Fantastic Desk! I had been looking for months for a sturdy, nice looking desk for my son & was so happy when we rec'd this desk. It fits my 8 yr old perfectly & the hutch displays all of his prized possessions. Of course I wish it was less $$ but all in all, it's been a great purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WrkingMama from A desk for life We purchased this desk for our 6 year old son and he loves it! He's stored all of his art supplies in the drawers and even in the fold down drawer/keyboard tray. The best thing about it is that he will be able to continue to grow into it as he gets older!

Rated 5 out of 5 by landofnodshopper from Great desk for elementary school-age kids My son has this desk and hutch. He got it when he was six and it is perfect for his age and I think it will be for a number of years. The desk has a lot of nice flat "table" space for writing and drawing. The drawers are great for storage. The hutch is fun for posting photos and drawings and to-do lists, and of course for storing books and things on the shelf above.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ruthie from Children's desk and hutch A very nice piece of furniture. Sturdy and well made. My daughter loves her "school desk"
Date published: 2009-10-20
Rated 3 out of 5 by Damon from What you would expect This is a pretty nice looking desk. It is heavier and larger than it appears in the picture. The finish is natural but it is darker that the other natural furniture we have from other vendors. The chair is very solid and heavy. The verticals are solid 2x2 wood. The drawers are reinforced and work nicely.The setup an installation (in Atlanta) was very well done. They came upstairs and aligned the hutch before fastening it on.The big problem I have with this desk is the desktop itself is not solid. It is a laminate. I guess "solid alder" means something different to marketing people. Being a laminate means it has a limited lifespan since I can't really sand and refinish it. This is a pretty solid and heavy desk but I expect it won't last through multiple kids. For the price it does not exceed my expectations.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Snowoman from Desk is very easy to scratch, dent, mark Although I like the way the desk looks, unfortunately I am finding that it is INCREDIBLY EASY to scratch, mark, and dent; it doesn't take much to do this, and, with kids, it's a virtual certainty this will happen. I don't understand why they didn't apply a type of finish or protectant to the desk that would make it less susceptible to marks and scratches. When you pay $1200 for a desk, hutch, and chair, you expect it to hold up better than this. For this reason alone, I wouldn't recommend this desk to people with kids or pets. And to the makers of the desk, you need to do something to the desk to make it less susceptible to scratches.

FORT WORTH - On a recent shopping trip at a Fort Worth gun store, Bryan Tomlin didn t need a lot of convincing to start packing heat.
We had our house broken into recently, he said. It was a little bit of a wake-up call.
He said thieves burst into his Fort Worth home while he and his wife were gone, just after Thanksgiving. Almost immediately after the break-in, he bought his first handgun.
After something like that happens, it makes you start thinking this stuff can happen, said Tomlin, a manager at a health care company.
Gun sales have been setting records recently, according to the latest FBI figures on background checks required to buy firearms. The FBI reports that in December, gun dealers made a record number of inquiries - 1.5 million - into the database. Only about 1 percent of buyers are rejected.
Texas was behind only Kentucky in the number of background checks submitted last year.
Sellers like Dewayne Irwin, president of Cheaper than Dirt! Outdoor Adventures in Fort Worth, reported a banner year in sales.
Irwin says sales last month were up nearly eight percent compared to his previous best month - December 2008, after President Obama was elected.
Even back during the Obama scare in 2008, when we sold a ton of stuff, Irwin said, referring to gun advocates' concerns that President Obama would overhaul gun legislation, it s nothing like this.
Last month, he sold 1,851 firearms, a record for his store. Nearly all of his sales, he said, were assault rifles or handguns. Hunting rifles or shotguns account for only about 15 percent of his business.
[Sales] have been good every year, but this year for some reason, it s just gone off the charts, Irwin said.
Reasons for the boom vary.
Retailers say concerns of possible new gun legislation and crime fears could be driving sales.
Ernie Conn was shopping for a compact gun he could carry with him, something he s never done before. However, Conn is part of a motorcycle club and decided he needed protection while on the road.
It s not that I m going to go out and hunt somebody down, he said. Just in case, you never know... I might need to shoot a snake on the road.
Since exact gun sales aren t recorded or reported, it s possible many buyers are purchasing multiple guns or are simply repeat customers, like Josh Morris. The Keller man spent $1,800 for a semi-automatic rifle to add to his collection. He says he intends to use it to hunt hogs.
I don t know if I needed a new one, he said. I ve been looking around for awhile and decided to get one.
The record sales trouble gun safety advocates, who point out nationally violent crime is down. Studies show guns in homes increase the likelihood of homicide or suicides.
Even as Tomlin browsed the gun displays, he admits it s a purchase he doesn t completely want to make.
I wish I didn t have to get a gun, he said. In reality, we have guns and the criminals can get them, and so I think the good people should have them too.

Demo day in San Francisco – a reality check for Australian startups9:40PM | Wednesday, 17 September
Build and they will come. Except everybody knows that's not how it happens. It was the harsh reality for AngelCube's 2014 intake that this was also the case for their San Francisco demo day. Out of the 80 people that RSVPed for Friday night, there were only eight that rocked up, and not one of them investors. It's not a dissimilar experience to many outsiders holding their demos here. It was on Monday after they'd all regrouped following a tour of the Dropbox office, that their collective fustration was aired. But there was no backing away from the journey they had committed to make. "This is the real world," AngelCube founder Nathan Sampimon told the troops. "In Australia you're one of a few hundred startup companies launching this year. "The reality here is that there are hundreds launching every day and it's hard to cut through that noise." He encouraged the startups to spend the rest of their trip hustling as many meetings as they could. "Warm intros are the best, leverage your network, those of our mentors and mine, but whatever you do, don't stop," he told them. All the pitches on the night had delivered, many of them giving their best one yet. Moodswing, a social network for people to share their emotions, had rewritten their pitch the night before to emphasise the impressive traction they'd had in just five weeks. They managed to extract the most excitement from the small crowd, some of whom had taken the time to download and play with the Moodswing app. "It's a pretty cool design," said someone on the night. For Moodswing, the demo day had been seen as a pivotal part of their trip, aware that their likelihood of getting funding in Australia is limited. But lessons were learned. "The demo day reinforced that we need to hustle ourselves and nobody is going to do it for us. It's up to us, and us alone," says Moodswing co-founder Jake McKeon. Ediply, a concierge service for students looking to study abroad, had also spent the day before throwing out parts of their pitch, after getting some frank feedback. For them the lack of interest in the demo day did not affect how they feel about their product. "The demo day was just part of what we had to do," says Ediply chief executive Peter Chapman. "The week in general has been beneficial. Just being here and being immersed in the culture around startups has been inspiring. "Things can happen really quickly. We spent some time at Yammer, which has a pretty impressive office, and it was only a few years ago they won TC Disrupt." For Drop-In app cofounder Simon Rahme, which plans to monetise the last minute appointment market, there were no regrets. "It's a dog eat dog world," he says. "If it was easy everybody would be doing it." With that, everybody headed to a co-working spot for the day and got down to hustling. Bronwen Clune is in San Francisco as a guest of AngelCube.

AngelCube demo day reveals a diverse class of 20149:32AM | Wednesday, 3 September
Kicking off a round of demo days that will be held in Sydney, San Francisco, Silicon Valley and New York, the latest round of AngelCube's early stage startups did their best to impress a room full of investors and influencers in Melbourne, Tuesday night. First up for the night was Arcade, which hopes to gamify sales teams to keep them more engaged with their jobs. Made up of David Cherrie, Anthony Indraus, James McLaren and Ivan Wang, some of the team have experience working in sales at a telco for a number of years, so they're initially sticking to what they know and will focus on the telco market here and in the US. They're looking to raise $750,000. Dropin app, co-founded by Caron Roberts, Simon Rahme, was up next with their plans to monetise the last minute appointment market, with an initial focus on the hair and beauty industries. The team is set to release a new version of their app soon and is looking to raise $500,000. Ediply, which wants to be a concierge service for overseas markets, seemed to spark a lot of interest from the investors at the demo. The idea came about from the experience of the founders themselves when studying at overseas universities. The team is made up of Peter Chapman, Katrina Too and Tyler Horan, and is aiming to raise $1 million to take it to the next phase. Their initial focus is on Asia. The newest startup, having only worked on their idea for a few weeks after abandoning their original one, was Class. Founded by Sam Lee and Mark Robinson, and described as "Uber for hotel bookings", it is aiming itself at the business traveller with a mobile app for booking premium hotels. The startup has an early deal with Radisson hotels, though have not launched their app yet. They're hoping to raise $750,000. Moodswing was the only business to consumer play from the bunch, not traditionally an area Australian investors have been keen on to date. The app is a social network for your mood updates, based on the premise that people don't like sharing their feelings on open social networks. The app has no monetisation plans to date, but have had strong "stickiness" from users returning to the app repeatedly during the day. Co-founded by Jake McKeon and Chris Long, they're looking for $1 million in funding to grow and get traction. The last team for the night was BrandSpot, a site to manage all your digital branding assets, co-founded by Amanda Watts and Kate Lanyon. Watts and Lanyon came up with the idea having both worked with designers and agencies and coming across the inefficiencies that companies had when managing their branding assets. Their platform also converts supplied files into a number of formats. They're looking for $500,000 to speed up development of some of the tools they want to create for their users. AngelCube co-founder Nathan Sampimon told StartupSmart that in the past AngelCube companies have been known for having great startup founders and solid traction coming out of the three-month accelerator program. This year is no different. "We've got some truly disruptive startups – Ediply are changing the way international students are placed in universities and closing a $10b gap in acquisition costs; Arcade are turning traditional retail environments into a sales arena to better engage workers; and Moodswing are revolting against the artificial state of social networks, allowing their mobile app users to thrive while sharing their raw emotions in a safe, supportive community," he says. "When you put the metrics of traction, growth, engagement and retention up against the benchmarks for successful Silicon Valley startups, our AngelCube companies are serious teams with serious businesses, and further proof that Australian startup founders have what it takes to compete in the global market." AngelCube's Sydney demo day is on Thursday and tickets are available.
Accelerator calls on government for fast-tracked grants6:45AM | Tuesday, 24 June
The federal government should introduce "fast-path" grant applications for tech startups and treat accelerators as consultants for the purposes of grant funding under the new Entrepreneurs' Infrastructure Program (EIP), according to AngelCube co-founders Nathan Sampimon and Adrian Stone. The recommendations form part of AngelCube's submission to the government's policy review of the recently announced Entrepreneurs' Infrastructure Program. "These recommendations have to be taken up if the government wants the EIP to be useful for tech startups as well as ordinary businesses," Stone says. He says the normal grant application process might work fine for small businesses, but for startups it takes far too much time. "Startups don't want access to consultants; they don't want access to funds where it takes three to six months before you've got access. "We can take a startup from an idea to a fully functioning business in three months." AngelCube's submission touched on the same point, highlighting the "lengthy, time-consuming and costly process" required to understand if a technology business is eligible for government assistance, and compared it to the rigorous but much shorter process used by accelerators during their selection processes. It made six specific recommendations: Venture accelerators are recognised as a new category to apply for Business Management Grants. Venture accelerators can apply directly under the three year rule for business management grants. Venture accelerators should be recognised as an 'expert network' for the nomination of Commercialising Ideas grants. The government should allow "Business management" grants of up to $100,000 for venture accelerators to support between 6-10 companies. Business Management Grants should be preapproved based on the venture accelerators' initial commitment to provide a minimum of $20,000 to each accepted company, indicating an initial investment from the accelerator of $120,000 to $200,000. Allow a rapid process approval of the Commercialising Ideas Grant based on the due diligence conducted by Venture Accelerator and co-investors. Venture accelerators are a valuable part of innovation ecosystems and government can capitalise on this by recognising their existence as a category and supporting them, the submission concluded. "Venture accelerators provide an avenue for government to make a rapid impact and support the new technology businesses of the future," it says.
Good product people wanted as Startup Victoria launches4:14PM | Wednesday, 30 April
Investors, founders, and an enthusiastic crowd of startup 'wantrepeneurs' packed into Inspire9's Richmond offices last night to celebrate the launch of new not-for-profit Startup Victoria, which aims to grow the local startup community. Speaking to StartupSmart, Startup Victoria chair Leni Mayo said the Victorian startup scene's biggest challenge is the lack of good product people. Mayo, the founding investor in a host of startups including 99Designs, Flippa and Learnable, hopes Startup Victoria can go some way in addressing the problem. "I think we are terribly weak at product, marketing, branding, sales, we really need to pull our socks up, but of those the one that stands out far above the rest is product,'' Mayo says. "In Melbourne I could pick 100 engineers and stack them up against engineers in your average Silicon Valley startup, and it's a fair fight. "In product, we have less than half a dozen in Melbourne that would stack up, and probably less than 10 Australia-wide. "It's a blend of human understanding, commercial nous and tech nous, and we don't have enough people like that. We don't value them enough.'' Newly appointed Startup Victoria CEO Lars Lindstrom agrees. "The Americans are very, very good at that,'' he says. "We need to improve.'' Lindstrom has a wealth of experience in startups. Having spent roughly 10 years in investment banking in Melbourne dealing with billion dollar takeovers and mergers, he left the industry to cofound a startup, a free home distributed newspaper delivered in all the major cities in Denmark. That was in 2006, and within 12 months the newspaper, funded by advertising revenue, became the most read in Denmark, and employed over 1000 people. Lindstrom says the company was close to breaking even when "Lehman Brothers cracked", as a consequence advertising revenue dried up, and that was the end of that. Not dissuaded from the startup industry, in 2009 he returned to Australia and co-founded the world's first eBook reading software ReadCloud aimed at schools, where he remains chairman. ReadCloud has a catalogue of over 100,000 eBooks and distributing deals from the world's major publishers. Under the leadership of Lindstrom, Startup Victoria will run a "better founders" program which will bring together experienced, practising startup founders to discuss the best way to tackle large fundamental problems facing the Victorian startup scene, like the lack of globally competitive product people. "It will involve different startup founders talking about stuff deeply concerning and important, and the people around that table need to come up from a large shared experience,'' Mayo says. "This is an area Startup Victoria can help through better founders, because it won't just help the founders, but also their employees.'' The program has parallels with a similar effort being made by Inspire9 founder Nathan Sampimon. In addition, Startup Victoria will also run a "more founders" program which will be open to anyone interested. "We're trying to create an institution where you have access to real information that can help you along the way, as opposed to getting opinions,'' Lindstrom says. "We're trying to be more scientific about it and give best practice. "Not necessarily guarantee their success, but point them in the right direction.'' Startup Victoria was launched with the support of the Victorian government, which provided $100,000 worth of seed funding.
Melbourne's only private accelerator program to open for new intake2:35PM | Monday, 17 February
Melbourne-based accelerator AngelCube is searching for up to 10 fast-growing companies for their fourth intake, with applications opening in early March. Launched in 2011, AngelCube is Melbourne's only private accelerator not run by a university. In exchange for 10% equity, AngelCube companies receive $20,000 in seed capital, six months of free office space, 13 weeks of training and access to a network of mentors and partners in Australia and the US. Co-founder Nathan Sampimon told StartupSmart AngelCube's mandate has evolved as the Melbourne start-up eco-system developed. "In 2011, we wanted to grab some easy wins, so anything slow-moving or slow growth we steered away from. We do want to be able to cultivate these companies, but we want to put Melbourne on the map for having successful accelerated start-ups first," Sampimon says. Fast-growing graduates include bitcoin start-up CoinJar, responsive lightbulb start-up Lifx and interactive app preview start-up App.io, and Kickfolio, which is now based in San Francisco. All three have raised more than $500,000 in venture capital. He adds they've been breaking the rules since day one. For example, the AngelCube co-ordinating team in 2011 was keen to avoid accelerating in a hardware start-up, but have had considerable success with Lifx so far. Companies still need to be fast growing to be selected for the program. "The program is intense and not for everyone. It's only 13 weeks long so if you're in a slower moving start-up, you won't be able to iterate fast enough to get the most out of it," Sampimon says. The AngelCube team are seeking strong teams as they recognise ideas will change. "Most start-ups will pivot during the program, maybe even a few times, so the idea doesn't need to be perfect," Sampimon says. An information night is being held at co-working space Inspire9 in Richmond on Tuesday, February 25.
Google-backed incubator launches in Melbourne9:50AM | Wednesday, 18 September
A new, Google Australia-sponsored start-up incubator program, Melbourne NEXT, will launch next week at the York Butter Factory co-working space. The five-week program for 10 start-ups will focus on customer discovery, idea development, fundability, pitching and launch strategies. Event coordinator and community manager at Google Developer Group Leon Gouletsas told StartupSmart the program was specifically created for pre-accelerator or launch start-ups. "This program is designed to address that post-idea pain point for entrepreneurs. It can be quite challenging to work out how to get into accelerators or what you require for early stage launch," Gouletsas says. "They need a bit more idea refinement and business model development. We saw that gap, and we're really keen to up the maturity of the Melbourne start-up scene." The program includes seven local mentors from entrepreneurial and investor backgrounds: Leni Mayo, Stuart Richardson, Nic Hodges, Laura McKenzie, Dave Slutzkin, Nathan Sampimon from Inspire9 and Marc Harrison. This is the first time the international program has been run in Australia. Over 30,000 entrepreneurs have graduated from programs held in 25 countries. "The first ever event was in the Middle East. It was deliberately chosen in some of the more interesting parts of the world because it seeks to bring together entrepreneurs regardless of background to work in collaboration," Gouletsas says. Gouletsas adds the program focuses on customer discovery strategies. He estimates the course will take 20 to 25 hours a week, including three hours of class time. "What we're really about is getting out of the classroom. The mentors are helping the entrepreneurs focus on value proposition development, and customer acquisition and segmentation opportunities. They'll talk about what to do outside the building, and how to tackle these big questions," Gouletsas says. The program will not be requesting or seeking equity commitments from the program members. While the program isn't specifically targeted at tech start-ups, Gouletsas they will be heavily favoured in the selection given the backgrounds of the mentors. "The most important thing for us is they need to attend all the sessions, be fully committed and be ready to build their start-ups," Gouletsas says.
Travel start-up brings an international flavour to AngelCube's 2013 intake program5:55AM | Tuesday, 28 May
A start-up that sees travel experts pitch itineraries for holiday-makers and an e-book publishing platform for writers and bloggers are among the teams chosen to join seed accelerator AngelCube's 2013 intake program. Melbourne-based AngelCube received more than 150 applications to join its three-month program that will focus on targeted mentoring. AngelCube co-founder Nathan Sampimon told StartupSmart that AngelCube looked for start-ups with "big vision". "We want co-founders that are hungry and want to change the world," he says. "There's really got to be that hunger, the need to shake some stuff up." The seven start-ups selected to join the program include, for the first time, an international entrant. AngelCube says on its website the co-founders of BattleTrip have flown from Chile, Portugal and New Zealand to join the program. BattleTrip sees travellers set out where they want to travel, when and what kind of trip they'd like. Travel writers and bloggers then pitch itineraries and the traveller chooses which one they like. Other start-ups joining the program include: Tablo Publishing – an e-book publishing platform c8apps – fantasy sports apps using social networks CoinJar – reconciling Bitcoins to dollars eTaskr – a task marketplace that solves underutilisation of resources within organisations LifeGym – an app that helps women build fitness through real-life rewards Ozirig – a marketplace connecting wholesalers and photography professionals AngelCube says it's attracting investor interest in Australia and internationally after two graduates from last year's program secured funding. It says Wi-Fi light bulb developer LIFX has raised $1.3 million through crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, while app tester Kickfolio, now known as app.io, has graduated from US-based accelerator 500 Startups and closed its Series A funding round with $1.075 million.

Dec. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said today there has not been discussion among the Group of 20 nations on a $600 billion plan to boost lending to the International Monetary Fund to help Europe deal with its debt crisis.
Flaherty reiterated Canada opposes the idea of the IMF leading a loan package for Europe, and said the region's governments should solve the problem internally, speaking to reporters in Ottawa.

Reclusive blind artist Franz Badulescu makes beautiful life-like sculptures, but as photographer Claude Marchand discovers, they may be a little too realistic. There's something macabre going on at Franz's Spanish castle in 1971′s Cauldron of Blood (aka Blind Man's Bluff), starring horror legend Boris Karloff, and Olive Films is bringing the film's murderous mystery to Blu-ray and DVD this fall.
Coming to Blu-ray and DVD on October 14th, Cauldron of Blood will be available in time to secure a spot in Halloween movie marathons. For those unfamiliar with the Euro horror film, we have the synopsis and a look at the cover art (image courtesy of Amazon!):
"In a clever twist on the sculptor/murderer theme that runs throughout horror film history, the legendary Boris Karloff stars as blind artist Franz Badulescu, who creates startlingly lifelike statues with the help of his protective daughter, Viveca Lindfors »

Sato Shelter Partners
The Sato Project partners with no-kill shelters in the New York region as well as having a select group of foster families in the tri-state area. They are absolutely vital to our on-going rescue efforts. While the best case scenario is that an adoptive family is waiting for each and every dog when they leave Puerto Rico, that doesn't always happen. In order to make room for other rescued dogs in PR we partner with wonderful no-kill shelters who take our dogs when an adoptive family is not immediately available.
We are always looking to expand our shelter and sanctuary partnerships. Please email email@example.com if you are interested in working with us.
Kent Animal Shelter
The Sato Project is proud to announce a unique partnership with Kent Animal Shelter (http://www.kentanimalshelter.com) in Calverton, Long Island.
The Sato Project at Kent Animal Shelter will comprise of 5 kennels dedicated to Sato Project rescues. The Sato Project will handle adoptions and we encourage our fans and followers to volunteer at Kent, to help out and meet our amazing dogs!
Kent Animal Shelter will also work with The Sato Project to help on larger transports and rescue missions when necessary.
We are very excited about this venture and want to thank Kent Animal Shelter for continuing to believe in our work and rescue efforts.
Animal Haven
The first Sato Project dogs will arrive at Animal Haven in New York City (http://www.animalhavenshelter.org) in September. Many of our dogs have already live in NYC and we have a huge fan and support base there. The Sato Project had always dreamed about having a partner in the City where our incredible rescues could be seen by a huge audience in a fabulous comfortable setting. Where better than SOHO for a pup to find their forever home? I mean who doesn't want to be in the most exciting city in the World?

Color-Changing Sealant Technology Enhances Package Security
Rollprint Packaging Products' new, patent-pending, color-changing sealant technology is appropriately named Chameleon; it enhances product security with a color change indicating that a pouch or tray lid has been opened.
"When you peel open a standard chevron pouch, there is a subtle white indicator to show that the contents have been accessed. What we've done is engineer a way to leave a strong visual reference with a desired color," explained Dwane Hahn, vice president of sales and marketing at Rollprint, in an Oct., 2012 press release. The color-changing sealant can be used in pharmaceutical applications such as prefilled syringe packaging. It can also be used for a wide range of medical device packaging and, outside the medical field, for electronic components or valuable items for which security and anticounterfeiting is a concern. The sealant can accommodate many color combinations, which gives manufacturers a new way to enhance their brand or to color code products.
This technology is another new weapon in the ongoing fight to thwart counterfeiting. To read an article on other anticounterfeiting technologies, see PharmTech's November on-line exclusive, "Protecting the Public", and keep an eye out for a Technical Forum on Anticounterfeiting in PharmTech's December issue. You can also share with us by adding your comments to this blog. How have you applied anticounterfeiting technologies in your applications? What kinds of new technologies would most benefit you?

A US subsidiary of credit reference agency Experian released the personal details of more than 500,000 people to a fraudster posing as a private investigator.
The records, which included dates and places of birth, addresses, social security details, phone numbers and email addresses, were subsequently sold on to identity fraudsters for at least $2.3m between 2007 and 2013.
Vietnamese national Hieu Minh Ngo had convinced Court Ventures, an Experian subsidiary, to release the sensitive data after posing as a Singaporean private investigator.
The case highlights how "social engineering" can be used to undermine organisations' information security - people invariably being the weakest link.
Ngo paid for the data from the company, which Experian acquired outright in 2012, by wiring monthly payments from Singapore to Court Ventures in exchange for the information. The arrangement continued after Experian acquired the company and was only investigated after US intelligence agencies warned the company.
The purchasers of the information used it to file fraudulent tax returns, acquire bank loans and run up bills in the names of the victims - ruining their credit standing with organisations like Experian.
Experian, which has recently won a contract with the UK's Identity Assurance programme, said that the fraud was a one-off and did not affect its UK records.

A character has given a speech about how poor and oppressed he is, that he's a victim of circumstance, and everybody seems to be out to get him. The problem is that the character making all these statements is a villain. This can be played several ways. A Manipulative Bastard will describe a situation to make a third party think that the Manipulative Bastard is a good guy, and the real good guys are mean and evil and out to get him for no good reason. The Jerkass may legitimately believe the grievances - but the audience can usually recognize a pity party over self-inflicted wounds. Whether the other characters believe the crocodile tears also depends on who they are. The naive, ignorant of the current situation, will usually buy it. Characters who were there will know better. When a hoodwinked character realizes that they've been fooled, they will not be happy. On the rare occasion a good guy tries to perform this action, they are usually branded as whiners because Might Makes Right. This may take the form of a Freudian Excuse if the villain legitimately believes what they're saying. See also Wounded Gazelle Gambit. Compare What Is Evil? & Playing Sick.

EOIR press release with an update that as of 9am, on May 19, 2014, their electronic databases are functional again but that they are continuing recovery efforts on other applications including eRegistration. Although the case information hotline (800-898-7180) is also functional, the hotline is limited to providing information recorded in the electronic database, which EOIR staff will continue to update until all case information is current. To date, EOIR has not lost any data and continue to finalize restoration of those applications most critical to internal and external stakeholders.
April 18, 2014
EOIR continues to experience outages on the case information hotline (the 1-800 phone number) and eRegistration due to a hardware failure. Immigration courts are still operating on their normal schedule, but some cases may be continued. The BIA is continuing to process cases each day but is prioritizing its caseload to compensate for reliance on manual processes.
April 14, 2014
EOIR alert that it is currently experiencing a systems outage involving several computer applications including eRegistration and the telephonic case information system (the 1-800 phone number). EOIR hopes to have the situation resolved in the near future. (AILA Doc. No. 14041445)

Actions That Help with Self-Doubt
Here are a few of the activities that help me deal with doubt. They really do help!
1. Identify times when I am most vulnerable, like when:
-I'm tired or hungry
-I'm stuck
-I've made a lot of mistakes
-I'm trying too hard
-I'm with other fine artists/their work
-I feel like there are too many things to do
Knowing this helps me deal proactively with myself.
2. PRACTICE GRATITUDE, including thankfulness for my gifts and art. This is a biggie. It's huge!
3. Sleep. Amazing how much better I can see after sleep.
4. Exercise. It helps quiet some of the inner chatter.
5. Learn new things. Read technique books, go to workshops, try something different.
6. Support and encourage the work of other artists.
7. Do spiritual work, pray, meditate.
8. Be true to my inner vision.
9. Get back to work!

Redneck Road Rage/Instant Karma
Here's her response to why she disabled the comments: Sorry to delete the previous text, but YouTube only gives me so much room for the info. So apparently there are those that didn't understand the whole concept of "disabled commenting" and instead took to messaging me their hate and vitriol. So you have forced me to disable messaging as well. To those that were commenting "Chin up, you did the right thing" I thank you. Your comments, while I might not have had time to respond to all, were read. To those in the media wanting interviews, I'm sure you'll be able to find another way to reach me. To those internet trolls who have nothing better to do with their day than go all over the interwebs and spread hate... do me a favor? Look up some Bob Marley music on YouTube, because you could use a little enlightenment and a better mood. Today has been interesting to say the least. I've done more talking in the past two days than I've done in my collective life it seems. It's been scary at times, and shocking. I never intended for this to go this viral. I'm a very private person and enjoy my peace and quiet with my dog, my fish, and my ukulele. I've never shaken so much from nerves and honestly I'm not sleeping well over this... partly because Good Morning America woke me up at 6 this morning wanting permission to use my video on their show. Apparently this has made all of the media rounds. The Today Show, GMA, Jimmy Kimmel, and it's blown up worldwide. But hey, if Jimmy Fallon wants a personal interview... I'll be there! While I'm completely humbled at how fast the internet has taken and run with this, it's quite scary. The comments, while most being funny and witty, some are hateful, vengeful, and heartbreaking. I would NEVER wish death upon anyone. I can't comprehend what would make a person say that to someone. It's nearly brought me to tears. I'm a very sensitive soul. Some people have commented and told me I should do the ads on here to make money, and as of now, it's on!!! I'd like to thank all the fine folks on G+ that helped me out. I just want this media frenzy to end though. It was not my intention for this to get so big. It was a funny video, I thought it would get maybe a few thousand views at best, but this is just crazy. Of all the important things going on around the world, civil wars erupting in countries all around the globe, and the fact that it's almost 2015 and we still have no hoverboard or flying cars (Bob Zemeckis, one of my favorite directors... you lied to us!), I find it hilarious that these videos go so viral so fast. It's overwhelming. Especially since I'm kind of "anti-pop culture". It's really weird. Next thing I know I'll be seeing a T-Shirt saying "Haha, that's what you get!" Please... don't. Or do... as long as I get a cut ;) I would like to thank some of the folks I spoke with today via the phone. Inside Edition was amazing to interview with, both respectful and courteous. Todd Schnitt from the Schnitt Show, of which I'm a huge fan of, was AMAZING! Thank you so much. Cowhead (yes that's his name) from the Cowhead Show, thank you so much for being so cool. To all the local Tampa affiliates and everyone I mentioned above that respected my privacy I appreciate that. Unfortunately there are those in the media that have released my full name even after I asked them not to, hiding behind a "public record" excuse, you know who you are, that wasn't cool. And on top of that, they put my location too. Gee, I've already mentioned the people wishing death upon me, you just put my life at risk! Thanks for that. But I digress. Hopefully in a few days this will run its course and I can get back to being little old me. As the Fresh Prince sang, "My life got flipped-turned upside down". PS to all the Redditors out there... while I am a member of Reddit, the people that are posting my video on there... aren't me. So don't hate on the OP, they're just trying to steal some Karma, and honestly, they can have it.

Bama GIRL Fan Goes After Oklahoma Fan at Sugar Bowl!
Bama fans don't take kindly to losing, and they sure don't take kindly to any lip at all from opposing fans while the Crimson Tide is losing. Case in point, at last night's Sugar Bowl, as the clock wound down on Alabama, a Bama Southern Belle went wild, boots and all, against an OU fan! Eventually she was taken off by security but not before she got her licks in. I wonder if she then went to Krystal?
