Hi there,
English guy here soon to move back to Spain, where I lived for 25 years before a break of around 10 months back in the UK, which is how I discovered a bit of a talent for making jewellery - and love every aspect of it!!
My question is, would anyone have any idea how to bezel a ceramic tile?
I have come into possession of some unused small square & rectangular ceramic tiles in beautiful colours, and thought they would make rather stunning pendants. I have wire wrapped a couple and they look fine, but would like to do something different with the rest, i.e. bead them with seed beads.
The squares measure 2cm x 2cm but are 7mm thick, whereas the rectangles are only 4mm thick and 4cm x 1.5cm.
Any ideas?
Look at some of the recent articles on netting. With netting you can span a thicker piece with no problem. The current issue of Beadwork has a nice article called Brilliant Bezels................ also, same issue is Gypsy Gem Bracelet where a largish stone is bezeled in netting. Donna
Take a look at this free pattern from B&B .. it's a bracelet bezel setting different shaped cabs but the instructions are nice to have because it covers bezel setting corners and rounds, triangles and squares etc..
Michelle K.
Follow my As They Grow project.. weekly pictures of my 3 chihuahuas from birth to age 1.
You should be able to bezel them like you would anything else, you'll probably just need to add more rows! It might take some trial and error but it should work great! Your stitch choices are peyote, right angle weave or netting. they should all work just fine! With something that thick, I might try right angle first ... it seems to be the most flexible for thicker pieces. But any of those stitches should work.
Since they're squares and rectangles you'll have to cope with the corners.. with RAW, that should be easy, with peyote, you're going to have to do some decreases when you come to the corners (or use herringbone/ndebele for the corners).
I never thought of using ceramic tiles! That's a GREAT idea! Will you post what you do with them when you're done? I'd LOVE to see! :)
Never used netting before - I suppose now is as good a time as any to start practising!!
Many thanks for the suggestions guys - I'll get beading and let you know how I get on.

Facts about Frankie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
My name is Frankie!
Frankie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Hi, I'm Frankie. I had a very hard and sad beginning in life. I was a feral kitten, scared and sick when I was found. My kitty mom was gone and so were my brothers and sisters. I never knew where they went. Lucky for me I was found and brought to a shelter. I was given a bath, some medication, and thankfully some food and water. I was slow to grow and build up my strength. I had never been around people and was very timid among them.
Since then, I have been in a wonderful foster home with loving parents. However, my first instincts are to be very shy around people. But once I realize you are not a threat, through time and patience, you will see the loving (yet mysterious), and affectionate sweet girl that I really am.
I've met and played with many new friends in my foster home. It is wonderful having warmth and more food and fun than any kitty could ask for, but would love to be in my very own forever home.
I am pure black with fur like velvet, petite in size, and when I want your attention, I will lightly tap you on your arm or hand. If I can't find you around the house, I will, politely of course, call out for you and ask where you've gone.

Chaos Rings trailer looks awesome
Just yesterday, we heard about this new Square Enix RPG due to come to the iPhone this year, and today, not only do we have official confirmation, but a first official trailer as well. And boy does it look great -- over in the console world, Final Fantasy's creators have been saying that they can't make them like they used to, because the newer HD technology just makes old-school artisanship tough to do. But a platform like the iPhone, with its built-in limits on graphical fidelity, might be just the place for the old-school vibe to live and thrive.
3D characters on 2D backgrounds? What appear to be turn-based battles against bosses and summons? A story featuring emo-haired heroes and J-pop ballads? Boy are we in. The Japanese version says "Available soon on the App Store," but we'll keep an eye on the other stores as well and let you know when this drops.

Restoring a TV icon's home here in Iowa
Updated On: Oct 08 2013 06:26:40 AM CDT
No one will claim the white house at the corner of 13th Street and Davis Avenue in Corning is a mansion.
"It's a pretty dinky little house," said Chris Nelson, owner of the home.
Nelson admits it's been a fixer-upper.
"The foundation was cracked. It was a bad scene," said Nelson.
What happened inside the home in 1925 makes this little Iowa house an entertainment goldmine.
"Well the special thing is Johnny Carson was born here," said Nelson.
Carson was NBC's King of Late Night, being introduced every night with the phrase, "Heeeeere's Johnny!"
While Carson was king, the home at 500 13th Street was just another house.
"Everybody knew this was Johnny Carson's birthplace house, but nobody had done anything about it," said Nelson.
Nelson said he found the plaster hanging down from the walls and the ceiling was bowing down. It's was in bad shape.
A restoration of the home has just been completed. New mementos of Carson's life and career are now on display.
Roger Sorenson is with the Johnny Carson Birthplace Society.
"This here is Johnny Carson's record of his birth certificate," said Sorensen.
Carson died in 2005 at age 79. He was host of The Tonight Show from 1962–1992.
The group is hoping the birthplace of a TV legend will soon draw busloads of tourists to Iowa's least populated county.
You can learn more about the house and society at http://www.johnnycarsonbirthplace.org

Her nose knows: Torrington woman bottles aromas of Litchfield County
|Melanie McMillan, who runs Bailey McMillan Artisan Perfumes from her home in Torrington, stands with vintage perfume bottles, which were gifts from friends. T.J. Kirkpatrick/Republican-American
Melanie McMillan sees through her nose. She closes her eyes, takes a deep whiff and bam, she draws inspiration for a perfume.
Her latest muses are the aromas of Litchfield County. The owner of Bailey McMillan Artisan Perfumes has bottled three limited-edition perfumes that evoke the main by-ways of the Northeast Corner.
They are aptly named No. 202, No. 341 and No. 7 and come with descriptions prime for a J. Peterman catalog: "Think of a cold, midautumn's night dream when you're heading down a long, dark road that seems unending ..." That is the perfume named for Route 341, also described as a "herbaceous blend of oak moss and lavender." In layman's terms, the scents are dark, rich and earthy and can be worn by women or men.
McMillan, 47, practices the art of 18th century perfume-making inside her Torrington home studio. She works with more than 80 plant-based essences to create hand-blended, artisan fragrances. Unlike mass-produced perfumes, McMillan's scents do not use any synthetic ingredients.
A half-ounce bottle of McMillan's couture perfume sells for $150. For $500, she'll conduct a 90-minute interview with a client and create a personalized scent.
"We are so deadened to that which is true when it comes to smell, that when we smell a natural perfume it smells flat," said McMillan, a china cup filled with steaming apple cider balanced on the lap of her long black skirt. "But once people wear natural, they won't go back."
Swinging open a wood cabinet door, McMillan sorted through dozens of teeny, amber glass bottles containing orris root, hay absolute and blue chamomile. Like an apothecary searching for a prized miracle drug, she located her most valuable item: a small vial of oud. At $2,400 an ounce, it's more expensive than gold.
Oud comes from agarwood, an evergreen tree found in Laotian forests. When the tree is infected with a certain fungus, it lets out a dark resin with a smoky, balsamic scent.
"Something beautiful is extracted from something that is dying," she said as she turned the bottle over in her hands. McMillan lives in a loft condominium inside a renovated cloth mill that was used to make wool for West Point cadet uniforms. The high ceilings and exposed brick and wood meld with her bright white carpet, crushed red velvet couch and sparse decorations.
McMillan, a veteran public relations specialist and journalist, came into artisan perfumery via aromatherapy. When she was diagnosed with a painful medical condition 20 years ago, she experimented with natural remedies and saw results. She later traveled to Provence, France, to study aromatherapy, or the practice of using natural aromas therapeutically.
She learned lavender can calm, rosemary can rejuvenate and bergamot can uplift spirits.
Eventually, she began to use plant oils more creatively. She founded Bailey McMillan Artisan Perfumes one year ago. The company is named after her late grandmother, who had a sophisticated taste for perfume, but was fickle and would leave expensive bottles in hotel rooms when she tired of them.
Growing up in Ohio, McMillan was an only child. Her mother, who faithfully wore Estee Lauder's Youth Dew, took her to the Merle Norman cosmetics counter as soon as she entered sixth grade and introduced her to the transforming world of makeup. That same year, McMillan created her own perfume for a science fair.
She envisions one day opening a perfumery a la Litchfield County wineries. Visitors could sample and learn about scents and the art of making perfume. While artisan perfumes have been around for centuries, McMillan believes a renaissance is catching on.
"People want products that are organic and natural and true," said McMillan, who has lived in Connecticut for 17 years. "This is for men and women who are sure of themselves and don't want a cookie-cutter fragrance they can smell every time they round the corner."
A person's sense of smell is 10,000 times more powerful than their sense of taste. Because the scents are natural, they do not last as long as synthetic perfumes, which McMillan describes as a good thing.
"I don't want to open my closet and smell what I wore the night before," she said.
She mixes her potions at a glass-topped desk in her home studio. Once she finds the right combination, she lets the ingredients coalesce or "marry" for at least two weeks, or ideally, up to three months. Like a fine wine, artisan perfumes blossom with age.
Bailey McMillan Artisan Perfumes can be purchased at All About Accessories in Litchfield. To contact McMillan, call (860) 618-3261 or visit her perfume blog at www.BaileyMcMillan Perfumes.Blogspot.com.
Men, McMillan said, are most attracted to the smell of grapefruit, followed by vanilla. And they definitely don't like to smell a woman's perfume from a mile away.
Women, she said, gravitate toward scents from white flowers, such as orange flower blossoms, tuberose and jasmine.

Help settle our debate please!!
My DH and I are debating where to stay our next trip and have narrowed it down to the following options....here is our family me, DH, DDs (2,5,7 at trip time), plus grandparents joining us for their first time to disney!!
I picked Contemporary Bay Lake View because:
1. The Contemporary is the most convenient resort to the MK, which is great for families with small children.
2. For the grandparents, everything at the Contemporary is under one roof. You don't have to worry about running from building to building to get drinks or snacks, this is particularly nice if it's raining outside.
3. I picked BLV over TPV because there are so many places to view the fireworks and park that are free that the extra cost of that room wouldn't be worth it to me.
4. I picked the BLV over the Garden room because of #2 above.
picked the poly, but have never stayed at cr. Ohanas, the beach area, volcano pool, are just a few reasons I choose it. Overall theme is awesome, cr just doesnt give the same feel imo, poly is a relaxing resort, lots of lush foilage, tiki lights and the polyenesian music playing that sounds like Vacation to me!:thumbsup2
I'd pick the Wing building because it is easy to get to the main building and you can use the stairs if you don't want to wait on an elevator. The very short walkway is covered and you are close to the CR pools.
Plus you'll probably save money.
The poly is a beautiful resort the rooms are large and it is on the monorail. It's my favorite resort and its quiet.
Thanks. keep the answers coming!! We loved the poly this year but I am worried about the construction that is supposed to happen there next year :(
I would go with Contemporary Magic Kindom view. The convenience of a short walk to and from the MK with youngsters and oldsters is worth a lot. Being able to take anytime breaks and go back to the resort is so easy. You can even split up easily with some going back to the resort and others staying at the MK because there is no transportation to navigate. Also, with young and older ones if they are tired you can be back in your room in the evening and catch the fireworks from there. JMHO:)
I would go with CR Magic Kingdom view as first choice and Poly as second.
I have not stayed at PR but, have heard great things about it. We did stay at CR with MK view and it was spectacular. Looking out the window and seeing the MK or sitting on balcony getting ready to go over was awesome.
Thanks for the opinions everyone. Am really torn still. Debating split stay actually.
Keep opinions coming!
Of course, that being said, there is no bad choice. :-)
Poly...but I always would pick Poly. :P
That's why I am having a hard time picking another resort!

Tech Secrets: 21 Things 'They' Dont Want You to Know
An interesting read Tech Secrets: 21 Things 'They' Don?t Want You to Know - PCWorld
Yes, the truth is out there. But they don't want you to know about it.
Who's "they"? It could be Google or product manufacturers, your boss or your wireless carrier, Hollywood or Uncle Sam.
What don't they want you to know? That your cell phone, your Webcam, and your employer may be spying on you. That you're probably paying too much for printer ink, and that your wicked-cool subsidized handset will cost you way more over time than an unsubsidized one. That your PC may be coated with toxic flame retardants. And that's just for starters.
Don't despair. For every dirty little secret revealed herein, we describe a fix or a way to work around it (if any exists). You don't have to be a victim, if you know what to do.
Just remember: You've been warned.

The Kindle
Two days ago I gave myself a very early Christmas present and bought the new Kindle. I have been following discussions and reports about e-readers for quite a while. I am a "heavy" reader, and I devour my books very fast. That doesn't matter as long as I drag my books into my flat like a wolf drags its prey into its lair and read them at home. From time to time I have to go through my shelves and weed them out in order to get room for new books.
But: My reading speed is a problem when I go on holidays. I take one book with me on the way to my destination and come back with at least two or three because otherwise I would have been terrribly bored in the time between.
I also like to spend some time in nice cafés, drinking a cup of capucchino or latte macchiato and having a read. In this case I have to take one of my bigger handbags, simply to be able to carry the book I am reading.
So I could not resist when I passed a shop on Friday which sells the Kindle for 99 Euro. I took it home with me and on Saturday I charged the battery – which took a shorter time than I expected. Now I had to register with Amazon. I have internet access at home, but no Wi-Fi. So on Sunday I had to look for a place with Wi-Fi. I found one. As the 99 Euro Kindle has got no touchscreen the registration was a bit time consuming but in the end I successfully registered and downloaded a sample of an e-book.
I read the first chapter of the sample, and I can say that I was drawn into the story in the same way as with a "normal" book. I am glad that I bought the Kindle, and I am looking forward to further e-reading.
My experiences with Time Scheduling
For the last two weeks I scheduled my activities on the weekend, beginning with Friday after work and ending with Sunday. That is, I divided my free time up into blocks – for my creative activities, for blogging, for doing my shopping, for doing my household chores and for leisure activities.
Here are my experiences
- Time is limited. That sounds banal, but before that I always thought "Wow, now comes the weekend and I'll have loads of time." At the end of the weekend I was disappointed how fast the time went and how many things I could not do. Now, with going through the day, hour for hour, I realized that time was limited.
- Focus, focus, focus! I now focus on household chores on my Saturday mornings, and I really have the feeling that I can get a lot of things done between 11 and 1.30 pm. No internet after breakfast, like I had been doing many weekends and then suddenly noticed that the time had come to get something to eat, and then: who wants to swipe floors after lunch?
- Leisure time is necessary! Well, there is a difference between photoshopping and blogging and reading a history novel. I noticed that I had spent many weeks without looking into a fiction book or a journal, and I missed that. Now I schedule my reading time and enjoy it very much.
- There is always an exception to the rule. I must admit that I don't always follow the schedules. But I do this consciously, and I know the consequences, and I am not disappointed afterwards.
Mind you, I am not saying that everybody has to schedule his or her free time. I am only describing why it has become necessary for me!
How I use Google+ for Marketing
I've got a shop on Zazzle, and I am a member of Google+. I am also on Twitter, and on Facebook, and have been using those two for marketing too.
- Twitter
I have been tweeting the products scheduled all over the day, and as I used Hootsuite I could see whether any of my tweets were clicked on. As far as I could see, the number of clicks was very very low. In addition to that I myself find it boring to tweet just one product, even if the tweets are sent all over the day. And if I find the process of tweeting boring – what about the readers of these tweets?
- Facebook
I am using Google Analytics on my Zazzle shop page, and I can see that I am getting a few clicks via Facebook. Facebook has the advantage that you have a thumbnail of the product. Thus people can see what the product/design looks like, and I think this is important. So I will keep on presenting new products on my Facebook Fan Page.
- Google+
This week I began to experiment with marketing on Google+. One thing I did was to speak about the design or the art on the product – not the product itself (everybody can see that it is a mug, a mousepad, or poster, as Google+ also shows the thumbnail). And the other thing is that I tell the story behind the art/design. Why did I take this photo, and what does it show? How did I feel when I took it? With graphic design it is a bit more difficult, but I think that each piece of art and design tells something about ourselves, our feelings, our attitude towards creating things.
Of course this takes far more time than just typing the url of the product. But when I did this today and the day before I deeply enjoyed it. It wasn't boring at all for me. And I hope that people like the stories I am telling about me and my art and eventually may consider buying the one or the other products…
Squidoo revisited
Those of you who have been following my blog posts for some time know that two years ago I had set my focus on squidoo and that I managed to write about more than 60 Squidoo articles (to avoid the rather strange sounding word "lenses"). I wrote about classical music, about artists like Michelangelo and Goya. I presented my Zazzle products in several articles and then – I got a kind of Squidoo burnout. The pressure of having to produce one article after another had been just to great, and me and Squidoo went different ways.
After some time I managed to write the one or the other article, but my love and my passion was somewhere else – on the fields of painting, drawing, graphic design and Zazzle. Some days ago, however, things changed. I am on facebook, and a member of several groups which focus on promoting their Zazzle products and supporting each other. Suddenly there was a new group called Squid-Doers – people who wrote articles in order to promote their products. This group is full of supportive, motivating and kind people, and voila – my attitude towards Squidoo – and writing – has changed! I have just thrown a look on some of my "old" articles, and I had to grin and say to myself: "You've done a good job there. You could have done better with this or that article, but in general, you've done a good job." And something inside me is prodding me to do it again… I don't know where to take the time to do it, but ahhh, I'd like be squidoo-ing again…
For anybody who wants to have a look at my articles: Here's a list of my articles.
Two important entries into the book of me
I've subscribed to Havi Brooke's blog "The fluent self" and one of her blog posts that made me think a lot was the one about "The Book of You". You've got to read that blogpost yourself, but what I took out of it was to very deliberately notice the effects that things I do have on me. I actually write some of them down in my daily journal.
I'd like to share two entries with you. The first is: I need about eight hours of sleep. Some people need less hours to feel good the next day – not me. On Tuesdays I usually go to my English Friends' club which is an informal meeting at a Chinese restaurant. Most of the people I meet there are freelancers or people who can go to work later. So they usually stay till late in the evening. Many times in the past I felt obliged to stay longer than I thought was good for me, with the effect that I felt lousy next morning when I had to get up early, and sometimes even overslept. Last Tuesday I decided to try an experiment – would getting home earlier and going to bed earlier really help? Well, it did! I got up next morning without problems, didn't feel lousy at all and the day went well. So ! now know: Getting eight hours of sleep is important for me, it does me good, and I will try to get them as many times as possible.
The second thing I learnt this week by experimenting was: The pomodoro method is good for me. This method consists in putting up a timer for 25 minutes and to focus on a certain activity for that time until the alarm clock rings.25 minutes are one pomodoro, and of course you can do as many of them as you like. I applied this method today at work, and felt good with it. I was productive, and I had the impression that I spent the work day the right way. Actually I am doing it now while writing this blogpost. I am using a chrome extension called "Timer tab" at home, and on work I used the e.ggtimer.com.
Have you ever thought of writing a book of you? And if yes, what would go in it?
Women Soccer World Championship
It is Soccer World Championship time! Well, it is Women Soccer World Championship time. When we had Men Soccer World Championship last year in South Africa all the restaurants in Berlin were showing the games on public tv, and the people were waving black-red-yellow (golden) flags, and wore t-shirts with black-red-yellow stripes.
None of that yet. Ok, the soccer stadiums are nicely filled with people, but you could still get tickets. The games are on German TV (in the early afternoon and at 6pm local time), but I've got the feeling that the numbers of people who watch the games on tv are – limited. Many people, especially men, don't consider women soccer to be "proper" soccer.
I just watched the game Brazil vs Australia. Brazil won 1:0, but the Australian women did a good job. It was a game worth watching. But: It was a typical women soccer match.
Men soccer is something different, with more close fights, more body contacts, more tackling. I think the important thing is not to expect women to play soccer like men, which does not mean that women soccer is "bad" soccer. The way in which both – the Australian and the Brazilian women treated the ball was amazing, as well as the way they passed it.
I now look forward to the match between Germany and Nigeria on Thursday evening European time. I will watch it at some good friend's home. I will use public transport on the way to my friend and on the way back, and I wonder whether there will be people waving flags and wearing t-shirts in the colours of Germany. Let's see…
Looking ahead to April
In my last February post "Looking ahead to March" I wrote about my art plans saying that I wanted to do some horse drawings, get used to my graphic tablet and finish the digital painting of a crane. Now, at the end of this month I've got to say:
- I did some horse sketches, and I showed them on this blog. One you can see here, and another one here.
- Regarding the graphic tablet: Well, I got more practice on it, but still there's nothing yet worth presenting to the public.
- The digital painting of the crane is still unfinished.
But I learnt a lot this month:
- I learnt how satisfying it can be when you return to something you did a few months ago and enjoy doing it again. I loved to pick up my copics again and colour the horse. I so loved it that I consider doing the crane with them first (The only thing is that I've got no grey copics, and I do need grey for the crane!)
- I learnt also how satisfying it can be to put the focus on another software – in this case Inkscape. At the bottom of the post you will find a result of playing around for half an hour with the programme without thinking about the result. It just happened to be.
So what about April?
Maybe a bit less planning and more "do as you feel" art? More playfulness? I wanted to focus on planning my art activities because I thought that I had to organize my learning processes. A revolutionary thought now comes to my mind: Even if I don*t organize or plan my art activities they wll happen. Art and creativity are an important part of my life now. The important thing is not to ask "What do I have to do in order to learn this or that?" but to ask "What did I learn when I did that and that?"
I would be glad to hear your opinion on this!

Summary: Along with AIDS, antiphospholipid syndrome was the major medical discovery of the late 20 th century, so for many it is still deemed a new disease.The discovery of sticky blood (commonly known as antiphospholipid syndrome or Hughes Syndrome ) came out of years of observation of patients who had developed lupus. Many specialists in the 1970s were interested in the neurological aspects of lupus, and Dr Hughes, among others, spent a number of years studying the mechanis ...show morems of brain inflammation.In the mid 1970s, Hughes observed a number of young women with a form of viral paralysis, where interestingly many of them carried an antibody in their blood actually directed against phospholipid �'' one of the components of brain and spinal cord. It quickly became apparent that individuals who had ''anti-phospholipid antibodies'' suffered from a tendency not only to develop brain and spinal cord symptoms, but also a tendency to develop both vein and artery thrombosis.As investigation continued it became apparent that these symptoms were not just confined to lupus patients, but occurred in others too, specifically those with severe migraines, with repeated strokes, with memory loss, and in women with recurrent miscarriage. ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 09

I Am Home
"I Am Home"
Rev Martha Quintana, Senior Minister
There is One Life and that Life is perfect. It is what I call God and where I am home. It is pure Love, Peace, Health, Protection, Grace, Divine Unfoldment, Divine Harmony, True Love. It is the very Essence of Life and It courses through all beings known and unknown, through dimensions known and unknown. It is this recognition that puts me in full alignment with that Life.
In this alignment I am love, peace, health, protection, grace, divine unfoldment, divine harmony, and true love. I am home. The very essence of my life comes from the one source and I stand in full awareness of this.
I am graced in every aspect of my life no matter the appearance. I affirm and declare that I am comfortable in my skin and that I am home no matter where I am. I am led by the light of spirit and, as such, I know in every moment the next right step to take. I then take it. I live in complete awareness that I am led, graced, and love, and so I simply relax in this knowing. I live in peace as I release any doubts, fear, or anxiety. I live in the love of God and all action flows from this love. I am so grateful.
I am thankful for this love – happy for the recognition and grateful for all that transpires in my life; grateful to live comfortably in my skin. I release this prayer with the knowledge that it is done. And So It Is. Amen.
Rev Martha Quintana is Senior Minister at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Final Casino Pitch
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (FOX28/CBS2) An emotional plea and a virtual tour of the Cedar Crossing Casino highlighted Cedar Rapids final pitch for a gambling license before the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. City leaders say they had waited three years to make the presentation at the Double Tree Thursday morning.
It caps a long process of winning support from the community, choosing a site and lining up investors to back the project. Hundreds of people dressed in white shirts to show unity, watched as Developer Steve Gray took them on a tour of classy card parlors, spacious slot rooms and fine dining halls.
Supporters told the commission members it will mean jobs, tourism and even more development if they grant approval. Mayor Ron Corbett says they didnt hold anything back, I think it was really critical to have that community support, it was a long day and we left it all on the field today and now its up to the commission.
But the gaming commission also saw opponents. Some held signs on the street reading Gambling is a sin. Others were bussed in from Riverside Casino near Iowa City. Employee Desteni Moyle says Cedar Crossing would steal customers and jobs from Riverside, If you bring a casino here, youre going to ruin some of the lives there and take away from our jobs.
But Cedar Rapids leaders countered by reminding commissioners of the struggle here and the jobs lost following the 2008 flood. Mayor Corbett says the most critical part of a bus tour, was showing commissioners the incredible rebuilding progress since the flood, but also the incredible amount of work still to be done in neighborhoods on the west side.
Corbett says critics actually proved how much a casino would help,
They were talking about all the benefits the casino has brought to their towns, so it was difficult for them to argue that Cedar Rapids shouldnt have the same benefits.
There are five members on the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, three yes votes would be needed April 17th for Cedar Rapids to be granted a gambling license.

International pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and groups of researchers can conduct clinical trials in Australia. However, the trials must be sponsored by an Australian entity. The entity can be an individual, company, institution or organisation that takes responsibility for the initiation, management, provision of insurance and indemnity, and/or financing of a clinical trial.
Clinical trials can also be sponsored by individual Australian reseachers (e.g. medical practitioners) or bodies and organisations (e.g. hospitals, area health services, nongovernment organisations, cooperative research groups). The type of sponsor will vary from trial to trial, depending on who takes overall responsibility for the conduct of the trial.
It is often a commercial company or other organisation that initiates, organises and supports a clinical trial study and carries the medico-legal responsibility associated with the conduct of the trial. In these circumstances, authorisation of the trial depends upon the company or organisation providing an indemnity (such as in the Medicines Australia format) and evidence that it is covered by relevant insurance arrangements for the conduct of the clinical trial.
In circumstances where an investigator initiates and organises the trial, he or she may be defined as the sponsor of the trial and will be responsible for the sponsor's functions. In other cases, the investigator's institution (e.g. hospital, research institute or university) is defined as the sponsor with the same functions. These scenarios often arise when another party (usually a pharmaceutical or medical device company) provides the medicinal product or device used in the clinical trial but has no other involvement in the conduct of the trial.

The Hamas leader Ahmed Yousef did Barack Obama no favor recently when he said: "We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election." John McCain jumped on this statement, calling it a "legitimate point of discussion," and tied it to Obama's putative softness on Iran, whose ever-charming president last week called Israel a "stinking corpse" and predicted its "annihilation."
The Hamas episode won't help Obama's attempts to win over Jewish voters, particularly those in such places as –- to pull an example from the air –- Palm Beach County, Florida, whose Jewish residents tend to appreciate robust American support for Israel, and worry about whether presidential candidates feel the importance of Israel in their kishkes, or guts.
Obama and I spoke over the weekend about Hamas, about Jimmy Carter, and about the future of Jewish settlements on the West Bank. He seemed eager to talk about his ties to the Jewish community, and about the influence Jews have had on his life. Among other things, he told me that he learned the art of moral anguish from Jews. We spoke as well about my Atlantic cover story on Israel's future. He mentioned his interest in the opinions of the writer David Grossman, who is featured in the article. "I remember reading The Yellow Wind when it came out, and reading about Grossman now is powerful, painful stuff." And, speaking in a kind of code Jews readily understand, Obama also made sure to mention that he was fond of the writer Leon Uris, the author of Exodus.
Here are excerpts from our conversation:
JEFFREY GOLDBERG: I'm curious to hear you talk about the Zionist idea. Do you believe that it has justice on its side?
BARACK OBAMA: You know, when I think about the Zionist idea, I think about how my feelings about Israel were shaped as a young man -- as a child, in fact. I had a camp counselor when I was in sixth grade who was Jewish-American but who had spent time in Israel, and during the course of this two-week camp he shared with me the idea of returning to a homeland and what that meant for people who had suffered from the Holocaust, and he talked about the idea of preserving a culture when a people had been uprooted with the view of eventually returning home. There was something so powerful and compelling for me, maybe because I was a kid who never entirely felt like he was rooted. That was part of my upbringing, to be traveling and always having a sense of values and culture but wanting a place. So that is my first memory of thinking about Israel.
And then that mixed with a great affinity for the idea of social justice that was embodied in the early Zionist movement and the kibbutz, and the notion that not only do you find a place but you also have this opportunity to start over and to repair the breaches of the past. I found this very appealing.
JG: You've talked about the role of Jews in the development of your thinking
BO: I always joke that my intellectual formation was through Jewish scholars and writers, even though I didn't know it at the time. Whether it was theologians or Philip Roth who helped shape my sensibility, or some of the more popular writers like Leon Uris. So when I became more politically conscious, my starting point when I think about the Middle East is this enormous emotional attachment and sympathy for Israel, mindful of its history, mindful of the hardship and pain and suffering that the Jewish people have undergone, but also mindful of the incredible opportunity that is presented when people finally return to a land and are able to try to excavate their best traditions and their best selves. And obviously it's something that has great resonance with the African-American experience.
One of the things that is frustrating about the recent conversations on Israel is the loss of what I think is the natural affinity between the African-American community and the Jewish community, one that was deeply understood by Jewish and black leaders in the early civil-rights movement but has been estranged for a whole host of reasons that you and I don't need to elaborate.
JG: Do you think that justice is still on Israel's side?
BO: I think that the idea of a secure Jewish state is a fundamentally just idea, and a necessary idea, given not only world history but the active existence of anti-Semitism, the potential vulnerability that the Jewish people could still experience. I know that that there are those who would argue that in some ways America has become a safe refuge for the Jewish people, but if you've gone through the Holocaust, then that does not offer the same sense of confidence and security as the idea that the Jewish people can take care of themselves no matter what happens. That makes it a fundamentally just idea.
That does not mean that I would agree with every action of the state of Israel, because it's a government and it has politicians, and as a politician myself I am deeply mindful that we are imperfect creatures and don't always act with justice uppermost on our minds. But the fundamental premise of Israel and the need to preserve a Jewish state that is secure is, I think, a just idea and one that should be supported here in the United States and around the world.

Needed something to replace my dry-rotted 20 year old speakers in a Subaru Legacy. High-passed at 100hz 12db/o, on about 50 watts. Midrange is superb for a budget coaxial, very clear and detailed. Tweeters are harsh, and get very fatiguing at loud volume. Most of my experiences with Pioneer tweeters are the same, even in their higher end component sets.
Off head-unit power they run alright, but when amplified they really come alive, especially on the lower end. Need to be paired with a decent mid-bass or sub that can play up to 100 cleanly.

I needed to add some more backseat audio to my 2013 BRZ and these speakers matched the sound performance of the unusually high quality factory speakers provided by Lexus in both appearance and performance. Used a car installer and he complimented me on the choice by saying, "You know these are really good speakers." They perform well. I did have to tighten the grill seating on one to remove vibrations chatter on rough roads.

Very good high and upper midrange speakers. Clear and efficient. Stays clear at higher volumes. Hard to beat in this price range. Looses depth at lower midrange frequencies and relatively no low end. Not what you buy this speaker for.

Definitely using an offset over a manual/fixed voltage. I used the OC tuner mainly to give me a baseline result, and I figured I could take over from there....took a lot of the guesswork out of it. The last time I had it at 4.4GHz it was running at about 1.300 volts, and I offset it to ~ 1.256v, temps were great. At those settings @ idle it runs at about 1.080v if I remember correctly, which is great.
I know what you mean about OC'ing from the Asus AI Suite, it's decent for basic oc'ing but not much past that.....I didn't even bother installing it this time.
(And my apologies if any of my posts sounded like 'teaching granny to suck eggs'. It's not always apparent of a users skillset. )

Got my OC from 3.4GHz to 3.6GHz and at stock volts ,stock settings were 3.0GHz for my Althon ii 640 x4.Seems stable to me so far and idles at 32-34c and ran prime95 for around 30mins and was at 55c,not sure if that was long enough but no errors or blue screens.Will test this out a couple days and if it's unstable i will put back my old oc to 3.4GHz instead.

Sweet OC M1GU31. If you have a multiplier setting for the HT Link, try lowering it so it it around 2000MHz while keeping the NB Frequency at 2400MHz. A lower HT will be less stressful on the CPU and possibly allow for even lower temps although your are well within safety margins.
Like the Bender Wallpaper too.
|My System Specs
|25 Jul 2012
Ok I took your recommendation and this is what I got
CPU/NB Frequency set at 2400MHz
HT Link Speed at 1920Mhz was the closes I could get to 2000MHz from the settings my bios would let me choose from,the other close option was 2160MHz I decided to play safe and go with 1920.Cpu is 2c warmer at idle clocks 34c but it should be since it's day time and was playing Team Fortress 2 about a hour ago and my other temp was at night time with the windows open in my room.Well did a 2nd prime95 test and highest peak i saw was 59c and it jumped around from 57-58 but 58c the most of the time when full load with prime95.Left the test running a bit longer this time.I believe i'm in the safe zone and shouldn't worry.Let it cool down for about 5mins and it's idling at 33c now.Will keep a eye on it and see if it acts up or not,so far seems stable.In my bios it says the clocks are set at 3600MHz but for some reason on cpu-z it likes to jump between3552 and 3600MHz,hmm even windows sees it as 3.60GHz. Anyways one question is it better to leave cool and quiet on or off?Right now I have it off for testing but not sure if I should turn it back on.
|My System Specs
|26 Jul 2012
I would turn it back on if it were mine, should still be stable at that frequency.

Hm I enabled cool and quiet and now my cpu won't clock up above 3000MHz when testing it under prime95 to max it :| and with it off it goes to my OC of 3600MHz
|My System Specs
|26 Jul 2012
I 've heard of some having it off with no issues but i can look it up for you
I left cool and quiet on becuse it makes no difference with my OC
Matter fact the Pc won't boot with out it on
You on the other hand have a locked Multiplyer and use FSB
I just read an article this guy had his 1.44vcore to reach 3.7 Ghz
but never said anyting about cool and quiet

Answer #1Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, January 31, 2010, 12:53Master
Sounds like the window regulator is bad. If you want to remove the panel, try getting a repair manual (these are good for BMW http://bit.ly/Bentley_Repair_Manuals). You may need to replace the regulator, so try looking down into the door from the top adn see if you can see where it is broken. You may need to take this to a shop, or get teh manual and a new regulator and do it yourself.

Visitor, August 16, 2010, 08:38
the window regulator needs to be changed. cost about $200 for parts. Remember to buy two clips about $1.00 ach. Labor vaires from $100.00 to $500.00 at BMW

Digital alchemist Jimmy Edgar took some time out of his busy schedule to talk with Wantickets about everything from his new EP "Mercurio" to his idea of the perfect party. Part-time fashion photographer, part-time music genius and full-time artist, Edgar breaks down the dichotomy of the American electronic music scene and describes how Berlin has changed his personal view of music altogether.
Read Jimmy Edgar's refreshingly insightful thoughts below and be sure to grab a copy of his new EP "Mercurio", out now on his own label – Ultramajic.
Wantickets: Thanks for taking time to answer these questions Jimmy!
Jimmy Edgar: Pleasure is all mine.
W: What came first, your career in fashion photography or music?
J: My career in music came first. It was the easiest because everything flowed so naturally even though I never planned on being a musician. I always envisioned myself as some kind of multimedia artist and I incorporate different styles whenever the opportunity presents itself. Photography was always a hobby, though I did shoot some campaigns and covers of magazines. I didn't like the politics so I decided to just do photography on my own. This year I discovered I prefer airbrushing and 3D rendering to doing photography. I've become a bit withdrawn from the model industry, since I was generally shooting new faces at agencies. It's a bit boring at times unless you find someone who is really willing to go all out crazy for that photo.
W: What is it like straddling the world between photography and DJing? Do you wish you had more time for one or the other?
J: I always wish I had more time for art. This year I have been concentrating on my airbrush paintings and 3D rendering, and I am working exclusively with Pilar Zeta who is my art partner. We do all the artwork for my label Ultramajic. I will always find time to do other creative activities.
W: You just released your EP 'Mercurio', can you tell us a little about the title and your artistic direction with this release?
J: The project is the second of my EP series on Ultramajic and it's influenced by the philosophy of inner alchemy. "Mercurio" is the combination of air and water, which makes steam of vapor. I wanted it to feel like dance floor music – very steamy, cloudy, moist. A lot of my old work was focused on sexuality, but I have moved on from this to discover something deeper about myself and the possibilities of my music. There is some sort of digital mysticism about the new projects too – so I wanted it to be completely engulfed by it and intact with the artwork supplied.
W: You are a man of many performance names and projects – or so the internet world have us believe – what do you believe are the merits of artists adapting multiple performance aliases?
J: Well, I have released music under different names and projects but more recently I feel its better to concentrate all your effort on one project and that is Ultramajic for me. I think its a bit strange when artists will release under so many different names, and I feel that it really waters their efforts down and you start to not know their sound. Luckily I have developed all my sounds so they are quite distinguished; this is something I work very hard at. If anything, the internet doesn't mention a lot of the stuff I am involved with, but I am quite happy with this. I like all my work to be compartmentalized so that it's specific and solid, shiny and slick.
W: In a few words, what would you say are some major differences between the 'Creepy Autograph' sound and the Jimmy Edgar sound?
J: Creepy Autograph is a rotating group that has other members and I am not always involved so its completely different.
W: Growing up in Detroit and living temporarily in Berlin seems to have had an obvious grimy techno and house influence within your music. Do you feel that any specific artists have inspired your work?
J: I like all the usual suspect Berlin DJs that get notoriety here. Hanging out at Boiler Room, PBar and Berghain really influenced my music. It's very clear to see how it has changed since the four years I have been here. Before, I think I didn't quite understand European dance music. I have developed a certain patience with DJs and now I like to hear the entire journey. There is just not really room for these vibes in the USA with how DJs are booked and promoted. Most of the time you hear a DJ play for an hour, and they are either playing ten tracks or thirty tracks way too fast. Club culture here is the norm, you are not a raver if you go to a techno party because everyone does. In the US, if you go to techno parties you are labeled as a clubber.
W: From Tokyo to Berlin to Los Angeles and beyond, do you have to change your set to appease the varied music tastes of each region?
J: Of course, any good DJ will do this. Most of the time I use my intuition, but a lot of times I am gauging the crowd and constantly feeling their response. I am not always trying to impress the crowd but I am looking to give them something unique, whether they like it or not. I probably show off a bit more in the USA when I am mixing.
W: In recent years we have seen a huge commercialization of electronic music, or to use the USA coined terminology – "EDM". What are your thoughts on the direction of this scene? Do you think the age of the DJ can survive?
J: I love how EDM is always in quotes; that's how unserious people actually take it. I was in Europe while the whole finger quote EDM shit has happened. I don't really have an opinion on it. I love new music and new genres so I will not sit here and hate on Deadmau5 and Skrillex – I don't really care. If anything, this is the music that other people will find my music through – just like how when we were kids we found out about Aphex Twin through Crystal Method or something. I love everything; it's all part of the process. It can only help what my friends and I are doing. More people should support smaller labels of course – but it is what it is.
W: You and Machinedrum's styles seem to complement one anothers' perfectly with your project – JETS. How did the two of you connect and do you have any more projects planned for the future?
J: We were childhood friends; helping each other throughout the entire journey to get to where we are now. More importantly we've inspired each other this whole way. JETS is exactly what it says – Jimmy Edgar and Travis Stewart. It's such good vibes and so effortless when we work together – its really amazing. We are both constantly impressing each other which keeps it higher. To work with someone who is a good friend, an admirer and an idol is a blessing and we both feel strongly about it. We have big plans coming. We're both busy with our solo projects but seem to be able to make time when we are in the same city.
W: Last questions, for fun: What's your idea of the perfect party or show?
J: The perfect parties I remember were back in Detroit with about 300 people, mostly friends. They were down in art spaces and people dressed up making it really special. Detroit always had the most raw parties that were just a small group of people. The city really gets a bad wrap because it's in shambles, but there is some amazing underground stuff going on there. It's a shame that from my generation there weren't so many musicians. Ghostly, Seth Troxler and Kyle Hall were the people I grew up around and we were all doing different things. Otherwise, I can't really tell you what a perfect party is – but it definitely starts with people excited to be there – without that you we don't have much.
W: If you were not a DJ or photographer, what would you be?
J: A Plastic Surgeon.

Some people believe that spitting among baseball players is simply traditional--a leftover from the days when players chewed tobacco and needed to spit it out. But there's something about the deliberate and unconstrained spitting itself. Perhaps the practice of spitting by baseball players can be understood if we consider how this action conveys an emotion to the observer, and also incites their emotional response.
Emotions serve a purpose. They provide us with information, convey information to others, and they are adaptive and protective in that they help us to make decisions and take action. When you experience a certain emotion you might protect yourself in a variety of ways. One of the means you have at your disposal for self-protection is to evoke an emotion in another person, such as fear, anxiety, shame, disgust, or even amusement. Evoking an emotion in someone else, in the interest of self-protection, can be used to disguise an uncomfortable emotion in oneself. For example, as mentioned in a previous blog, bullies often evoke the emotion of shame in their victims. But what emotion does a spitting athlete evoke in the observer and why would they do it?
