The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[latam] NEPTUNE BRAZIL SUGGESTIONS
Released on 2012-10-11 16:00 GMT
Email-ID | 198420 |
Date | 2011-11-23 18:32:39 |
From | email@example.com |
To | firstname.lastname@example.com |
List-Name | firstname.lastname@example.com |
The most notable energy issue that will carry onto December is the Chevron
subsalt well leak:
Chevron has been slapped by IBAMA, Brazil's environmental policing agency,
with a 50 million real fine (roughly 28 million dollars) over it's
mishandling of the Frade field oil leak it was drilling off the coast of
Rio de Janeiro. ANP, the national petroleum agency, is looking to further
fine Chevron two seperate 50 million real fines. This is a somewhat
negligible amount for the energy company, as the price of 28 million
dollars amounts to roughly 3.5 days of drilling at the Frade field.
However, this fact will probably lead to a round of tighter monitoring,
auditing and inspection on existing foreign oil companies.
Furthermore, the Chevron presalt oil well leak off the coast of Brazil has
come at a time when oil-producing states (Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and
Espirito Santo) are battling the Federal Government for it's plan to
distribute the royalties of all subsalt exploration more evenly to the
rest of the states of the Union and to itself. Though the leak is much
smaller than the catastrophic BP Mexico Gulf leak ( estimated at around 4
million barrels dumped into the ocean as opposed to Frade's modest
approximately 2600 barrels ) as well as farther off the coast, the memory
of the Deepwater Horizon is sure to revive in the minds of producing
states policy makers, as the topic of environmental damages and risks
thereof to public health and maritime commercial activities like fishing
are brought to the fore, giving more fuel to the producing state's claims
to the rights of a higher cut of the oil wealth and the perception of the
legitimacy thereof.
NOTE: There's something I can't quite write on just yet, namely the Nov.
30 deadline of PDVSA securing its investments for the Abreu e Lima
refinery. Chavez and PDVSA have remained committed to it, however OS, on
both the Brazilian and Venezuelan side, has been strangely quiet on the
issue lately one way or the other. Don't know what we could write on it
from a Brazilian standpoint since, if Venezuela remains on board with the
financing, the refinery will be built and, if Venezuela is late again on
payments or drops out, the refinery will be built anyways (Petrobras
remains committed to the project one way or another); I think the
short-term December outcome is more of a Venezuelan issue than any.
Gas wise:
There have been increasing discoveries of viable gas deposites off the
coast of Brazil both in the Presalt (in the Campos field) and Postsalt
field (in the Molombe field) fields Measures to fully prospect the size
of the wells, and initial movements to negotiate extraction and profit
divisions between partner companies like Repsol and BP should seen next
Politically there are some things to watch for in the next month.
To begin with, there is a vote passing through the congress that would
extend the DRU Constitutional Amendment until 2015. This amendment gives
the central government power over 20% of the budget without needing to
earmark the way in which that portion of the budget must be spent. The
vote is currently undergoing a second round of voting in the Congress,
being a constitutional amendment, and has just been approved in the Lower
House for the second time. Now it is imperative that the government and
its coalition finds the legal means to bring this to the fore of the
Senate and pass the bill, all before the Parliamentary recess that begins
on the 23rd of December. Otherwise, the measure will expire and the
government will have to assign allocation to all of its budget, something
that can restrict government flexibility in investing funds in
energy-related projects
Secondly, the grasp of Lupi on the Ministry of Labour is looking even
more tenuous as the support of his own party base begins to question its
support for him. The Secretary General of the Party, Manoel Dias, revealed
that he suggested the Lupi step down ahead of ministerial reforms
scheduled for January. Each new corruption scandal, while not critically
impacting the amount by which the government can act, is mining its
legitimacy and opening up even more opportunity for opposition parties
like the PSDB and Democrats, to needle the PT's coalition.
Currently there are two ongoing issues that we can expect to carry on to
Petrobras' sales of non-essential overseas assets in it's attempts to find
greater funding for it's 2011-2015 investment goals. Indicative of this
was Petrobras considering the sale, in its entirety, of its Japanese
refinery Nansei Seikyu KK.
Ethanol production can be expected to continue to be lower as 2011/2012
and 2012/2013 sugar harvests are forecast to be mediocre. This will equate
with a continued importation of gasoline (due to lower mandated ethanol
blends) from the Middle East and ethanol from the United States.

Christian Dior Couture Spring 2013 | Pictures
Christian Dior Couture Spring 2013
There may have been snow on the ground in Paris's Jardin des Tuileries, but inside Dior's nearly invisible mirrored tent, Spring was in full bloom. Hedges designed by landscape artist Martin Wirtz provided the path to a meandering runway, while near-naked branches culled from just-awoken trees offered a romantic, Secret Garden scene.
The first look out was a swirling, strapless confection in icy chiffon accented with a slash of black satin above the bust. The model, with her pixie-cut hair, airy swagger, and glittering red lips, called to mind a flittering wood nymph. Soon more nymphs arrived; most wore sleekly corseted gowns that exploded from the waist in dramatic, full flares or asymmetrically draped folds. In pastel silk, iridescent organza, or whisper-weight chiffon, everything felt softly natural yet utterly restrained — even as more elaborate looks like floral embroidered jackets, voluminous car coats, and bubble-hemmed dresses covered in sparkling petal appliqué began to appear.
"The collection reflects the passing of time of the season, beginning as the signs of early life," the show notes explained. "Silhouettes are in flux, seemingly finding their own forms naturally and yet all expertly tended to and under control." Like a well-manicured garden under the tentative warmth of early Spring — or maybe like Raf Simons's intoxicating updates on classic Dior.

The Honorable Charles E. Grassley United States Senate 135 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Grassley:
On behalf of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) and America's nearly 86 million credit union members, I am writing to encourage you as a member of the Judiciary Committee to vote against all amendments to S. 256, the "Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005", when it is considered by the Committee tomorrow.
Credit unions recognize that many people legitimately need the option to declare bankruptcy. We are, however, very concerned about the cases of abuse by those who file Chapter 7 and totally walk away from their debt, even though they clearly have the ability to repay all or part of that debt. Because Credit Unions are member-owned cooperatives, losses incurred through bankruptcy come directly out of our members' pockets.
This legislation, which carefully balances these issues, has been extensively debated for over 9 years now. The adoption of amendments, no matter how worthy, will disrupt this careful balance and would forestall the enactment of bankruptcy abuse reform legislation that is of vital importance to our credit unions and their members.
We strongly support S. 256 in its current form and urge you to vote against all amendments.
Daniel A. Mica President & CEO Credit Union National Association

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I like to go to movies and rent them. I enjoy many different kinds of movies, from classics to some that are just stupid. I like some movies that are unique and different. I recently saw a movie that fits both of those descriptions, Death to Smoochy. The movie is very different and unique. I really liked it, but this isn't a movie for everyone. When I first saw the previews for Death to Smoochy, I wasn't sure what was going on. Then I saw some more previews and I had a better idea of what was going on in the movie. It looked interesting to me. That plus Robin Williams and Edward Norton being in it was enough for me. CAST Robin Williams - Rainbow Randolph/Randy Edward Norton - Smoochy the rhino/Sheldon Mopes Jon Stewart - Frank Stokes Catherine Keener - Nora Wells Danny DeVito - Burke Harvey Fierstein - Merve Green Pam Ferris - Tommy Cotter Michael Rispoli - Spinner Dunn Danny Woodburn - Angelo Pike Danny DeVito - Director Adam Resnick - Screenwriter Death to Smoochy is 101 minutes long and it is rated R. There is some violence, some brief sexual situations, and coarse, graphic language throughout the movie. No children of any age should see this movie. PLOT When the movie begins, there is a song playing about Smoochy and his jungle. The song does sound like one that would be on a kid's show, annoying parents. A few scenes are shown in silhouettes. Then the movie goes back six months to show what lead to the events being shown in the silhouettes. Rainbow Randolph is a very popular child's television show. Randolph sings and dances wearing white sequin shoes and a rainbow colored sequin jacket. The Krinkle Kids are the other characters on the show. Children from the audience get to sing and dance with Randolph and the Krinkle Kids. Randolph also picks some kids to sit with him in his rainbow chair. One night, Randy meets with a couple in a bar. The couple have a son. They want their son to be picked to dance in front and to sit in the rainbow chair on the show. They offer Randy a briefcase full of money. The money is in small bills, so it isn't a huge amount. They chat for a few minutes and then Randy starts to leave the bar with the briefcase. The couple were really undercover cops and the bar was full of other cops and FBI agents. Randy is arrested. The Rainbow Randolph show is canceled and KIDNET, the television station that aired Randy's show, is looking for a new show. The men in charge of KIDNET want to find someone who has morals and principals and who won't end up in a huge mess like Randy did. Frank Stokes and Nora Wells work for KIDNET. They are trying to find someone to host a new kid's show. Stokes decides that Sheldon Mopes, the creator of Smoochy the rhino, would be perfect for a new show. Sheldon is so clean he squeaks. He is a vegetarian. He wants to use Smoochy to teach kids things like manners, ethics, and morals. Nora doesn't agree. She thinks Sheldon is a bit pathetic and that they can do much better. Stokes wants Smoochy, so Nora has to track him down. She finds him doing a show at a methadone clinic. He is wearing a homemade Smoochy outfit, consisting of pinkish purple sweats, shoes, and a very crude looking Smoochy head. Sheldon does look a bit goofy in that outfit. Nora talks to him after his show is over. Sheldon was thrilled to be getting his own show. People at KIDNET work with Sheldon to design a set for the show and to make a new Smoochy suit. The finished product looks much better than Sheldon's effort. Smoochy ends up being just a little lighter in color than Barney the dinosaur. Smoochy has a little more pink in his coloring than Barney has, but the suit made by the KIDNET people has more purple in it than the outfit Sheldon made himself. I have a pair of slippers that are about the same shade as Smoochy. Anyway, back to the movie. Smoochy's new show gets the time slot that use to belong to the Rainbow Randolph show. Smoochy's show is a huge hit. Smoochy is everywhere and children love him. Randy has fallen on some bad times since his show was canceled. He lost his apartment and has no more money. Bills are piling up. When he sees that Smoochy got his old time slot and is so popular, Randy loses it. He blames Smoochy for his problems. Randy wants revenge and he comes up with plans to bring Smoochy down. Some of the plans involve some unique cookies and tricking into performing at an event he shouldn't be at. Nora is involved in making decisions for the Smoochy show. She and Sheldon disagree on things related to the show. Sheldon wants more creative control over the show, and he doesn't want Smoochy's image selling a bunch of things like soft drinks that are bad for kids. Sheldon eventually gets an agent, Burke, who gets Sheldon creative control of the show and the ability to veto any product endorsement he doesn't approve of. Sheldon will also produce the show. The network gives Sheldon an apartment. After this, Burke wants Sheldon to do some things that Sheldon doesn't think are right. There are other people, like Merve Green, who want to use Smoochy for their own purposes. Merve is in charge of a corrupt child's charity. Sheldon doesn't want to cooperate with the other plans, which makes some people very upset with him. More people come up with plans to get rid of Smoochy. Many more things happen throughout the movie. If you want to find out how everything works out, see the movie. **End of plot discussion** Death to Smoochy is a dark comedy. This isn't a feel good movie. Parts of the movie are very dark and a bit disturbing. Death to Smoochy is not a movie for everyone. I really enjoyed it, but I do like some different movies. Some things in the movie were very funny, but not everyone will see the humor in what happens. Randy went off a few times, saying things that sounded like they were from Robin Williams' stand up act. He says some very off color things at times, but they were funny. It really cracked me up when Randy called Smoochy the face of evil and a Muppett from h-e-double hockey sticks among other things. I think a unique sense of humor is needed to really enjoy this movie. There is some violence in a few different scenes and there is a lot of swearing throughout the movie. The word that rhymes with luck, and several variations of the word, are used by many characters in the movie. I think Sheldon is the only character in the movie that doesn't say any of those words. He does swear a time or two near the end of the movie, when he is extremely stressed, but he never used the word that rhymes with luck. At one point in the movie, Nora makes an obscene hand gesture. Randy uses a lot of very colorful language throughout the movie. After the cookie mishap, Randy uses a lot of colorful phrases to describe what the cookie in question is really supposed to be. That little speech by Randy really reminded me of some things from a stand up act of Robin's that I saw once on video. If you've ever seen Robin Williams do stand up and you liked it, then you might like this movie. But, if you have seen his stand up act and hated it, then this movie is not the movie for you. Randy can be coarse and vulgar at times. If that sort of thing offends you, Death to Smoochy isn't a movie you will enjoy. I thought the plot of Death to Smoochy was very original. There are two children's show hosts who are very different. One, Randy, messes up big time and loses his show. The other, Sheldon, gets his big break and is very popular. Randy goes off the deep end and starts plotting ways to get rid of his replacement, Smoochy, and get his show back. I've never seen a movie like this before. Randy expresses a hatred for Smoochy that some people may have felt for other children's shows hosts, like Barney, for whatever reason. The difference here is that Randy is somewhat justified in his hatred of Smoochy since Smoochy's show got his time slot and is such a huge hit. Yes, it was Randy's own fault that he lost his show originally, but it understandable that he would not be happy to see the show that replaced him becomes such a hit. Though Randy did go a bit overboard when he started plotting ways to bring Smoochy down. Death to Smoochy also exposes the dark under belly to children's television. Who knew there was a dark under belly to children's television? Many of the characters that Sheldon encounters in relation to the Smoochy show are corrupt in some way. Corruption is running rampant in this movie. At one point Randy even admits that he let himself be corrupted after his show was a hit. I thought the acting in the movie was quite good. Robin Williams was at his manic best playing Randy. He also had some more serious scenes too. He was believable as a man losing his grip on sanity. Some of the expressions on his face were so expressive. Edward Norton was wonderful as Sheldon/Smoochy. This role is completely different from any others Norton has played and he was perfect in it. He is taking some roles that really show his range as an actor. I really like him. Anyway, Sheldon is a naive man, but he isn't stupid. He is a kind, caring person. He just sees the good in things and people and finds it hard to believe how bad some people can be. There were times when Sheldon didn't really know what was going on, or he was extremely shocked by things that happened. In those scenes, Norton had expressions that perfectly conveyed Sheldon's shock, bewilderment, or the fact that he was clueless. Jon Stewart wasn't in many scenes, but he was fine. The main thing I remember about him is that he had a bad haircut. Catherine Keener was pretty good in her role as Nora, going from being a nasty woman to someone who was actually nice and cared about people. Danny DeVito only had a few scenes, but he was good in them. The character development isn't the best, but it is sufficient for most of the main characters. With Randy, we see how he falls apart after he screws up and loses his show. However, we never find out why he started the show or why it was so important to him. Very little of his past is known, but it does come out later in the movie that he had been involved with Nora sometime in the past. I think that Sheldon is more developed. We know why he created Smoochy. He talks about the character that inspired him to create Smoochy, a singing, dancing hippo. Nora changes a lot over the course of the movie. She starts out as a somewhat angry woman who seems to hate Sheldon. By the end of the movie, she has changed into a much kinder woman who cares for Sheldon. Very little is known learned about Nora's past. CHARACTERS Randy - He plays Rainbow Randolph on a child's show that has the same name. He messes up big time and is fired. He seems to be losing his grip on his sanity after the show that replaced his, staring Smoochy the rhino, is a big hit. Randy goes through a range of emotions. He has bouts of anger and depression. He comes up with several plans to cause Smoochy to be fired. Sheldon Snopes - He creates the character of Smoochy the rhino. Sheldon is a very kind man. He sees the good in others. He wants no part of the corruption that is surrounding him. He is a vegetarian and wants to use Smoochy to teach children many things, including morals and manners. Nora Wells - She works for KIDNET and tracks Sheldon down to get to be on a show. She is rather nasty at times, and seems to hate Sheldon. She has negative things to say about him when it is first suggested Sheldon get a show, but when she goes to offer him the show, it seems she has never met him before. She has her own ideas about how things should be done on the show, which often clashes with what Sheldon wants. She does come to like Sheldon, and become a bit nicer over all. Burke - He is Sheldon's agent, but he has his own interests at heart. Stokes - He also works at KIDNET. It is his idea to get Sheldon to do a show with Smoochy. He was friends with Randy before that mess, but he won't do anything to help Randy in any way. Stokes may also have his own interests at heart. Death to Smoochy is a wonderful dark comedy, but some people won't like it. It is very unique, but it will be too dark for some people. Fans of dark comedies, unusual movies, and the stand up of Robin Williams should give this movie a chance. Thanks for reading. =)

MAC'S BLOG: The VFR Rain Trap
It's only 36 miles from the Muskegon airport to Grand Rapids. The terrain is flat and both airports have lots of long runways. It's hard to think of an easier flight to make. The terminal forecasts for both airports called for showers in the vicinity but ceiling and visibility were predicted to remain good VFR with viz no lower than 6 miles and ceiling no lower than 4,000 feet for several hours. What pilot looking at the reports of actual weather at both airports, and the forecast for continued good weather at both ends, would think that it would be a problem to make the short flight under VFR?

LTech Stealth Ballpoint
Great Writing Instrument
I ordered this pen in black, and I am pleased to have done so. Not only is it a great writing instrument, but it is also beautiful. It fits very nicely in my hand, it is somewhat heavy, but very well balanced, and the checkered part of the lower barrel enables a firm yet comfortable finger grasp of the pen. Its sleek design and superb function promotes excellent writing technique. I recommend this to anyone who takes writing seriously, and wants a pen of which they want to be proud.
July 17, 2014
rugged feel, good performance
superior writing with a strong and high tech touch
July 17, 2014
The Stealth
I work in the Aerospace Industry and can appreciate the analogous reference to the name. But, the quality of the pen is left a bit short. The engaging mechanism "clicks" with a squeaking sound and the threads that assemble the bottom to the top are rough and not smooth. A bit of emery paper did the trick but the customer shouldn't have to do that. But these aside, the pen is comfortable and I happen to like the style - very distinctive. I would recommend this and have ordered a few more.
July 17, 2014
I Purchased this pen at sale price, but not sure why list price is so high. Ballpoint is much shorter and thinner than rollerball (wish I had purchased rollerball instead). For those looking for a nice ballpoint, any Tru Writer offered by Levenger would be a better purchase.
July 11, 2014
Great Pen
Well-crafted. Solid metal pen, good weight for a thinner writing instrument. Great customer service as well. I was initially overcharged for shipping. I asked about the high priced shipping and received a refund on the shipping amount due to error.
May 22, 2014
So, a few years ago I received this pen as a graduation gift and I loved it. But, within a few months I had issues with the cartridge not fully extending. Levenger replaced the pen, but unfortunately the replacement had the same problem. So, they replaced it a second time. Second time was apparently the charm and I have had zero issues with the pen. It performs as expected, and looks fantastic. The black on the pen wears at the edges over time, which makes the whole thing look better and better everyday. This is my every day work pen and I would never go anywhere without it.
April 22, 2014
nice but overpriced
i have the l-tech pen and like it; wanted to add the stealth to my collection but felt it was (also) way overpriced. finally it went on sale, and i have it. it seems to work perfectly, and feels sturdy enough.
February 22, 2014
While this pen looks nice, feels good in the hand, and writes good, I feel that it is overpriced for the quality you get. I have much less expensive pens that write as well and look as good as this one. In all fairness, I have not had the pen long enough to judge the quality of the mechanism that extends and retracts the refill. The pen itself is fairly sturdy, but not enough to merit the purchase price.
July 15, 2013
Good but can be much better
I would first like to say the look, weight, and feel of the pen are exceptional. It writes very smoothly and I enjoy using it. With that said, when I received the pen, it seems as though it had been used before. The ink cartridge is worn and scratched all over and the box the pen came in wasn't in that great of shape. I know shipping could been the reason for the box, but the ink refill has clearly been used and worn. Also, the clicking mechanism is very rough and makes a scratching/ squeaking noise whenever it is clicked.
June 25, 2013
Really like this pen!
I've only had this pen a couple of weeks, but I haven't even picked up any of my others since receiving this one. The only thing I have noticed that may not be good is the threads don't feel quite perfect(there is a little wiggle all the way down until its tight). Other than that, I really is the perfect one for me! Thanks!

Subject pretty much sums it up - is there a timeframe for the loft feature to wiggle its way into the Mac version?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by schneik. See the answer in context.
Yes, but not until the end of summer.
Yes, but not until the end of summer.

Thanks, Kevin!
Excellent, that's
Is there any update on this function making its way to the mac? Summer 2012 has come to an end, but there does not appear to be any update for Inventor Fusion implementing this feature yet.
On their Facebook site, the videos suggest that, internally, there is a surface loft feature on Mac alive and kicking.
I'm hoping it comes soon - the Facebook site has been showing a lot of functionality that I just don't see on the version I have!

Buyid dynasty
Buyid dynasty
(945–1055) Muslim Shi'ite dynasty founded by three sons of Buyeh, a Daylamite (north Persian) fisherman. They captured Baghdad in 945, and each brother took a portion of territory. After they died, one Buyid leader, 'Adud al-Dawlah, consolidated control (977) and enlarged the Buyid domain. From 983 the territories were split among family members. The dynasty ended when the Turkic Seljuq dynasty took Baghdad in 1055. Buyid art maintained its influence throughout the Seljuq reign; Buyid silverwork is notable.

Mila Kunis Finds The Idea Of Dating Ashton Kutcher "Absurd"
By Caitlyn Hitt
MTV News reported that one time on-screen couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were seen out and about furniture shopping, having sushi together and hanging out at Kutcher's L.A. area home.
Since then, the rumor mill has been flooded with talk of the That 70's Show stars' alleged relationship. But, Ben Lyons of Extra was lucky enough to catch up with the young starlette at CinemaCon 2012 in Las Vegas to set the record straight.
Kunis called the rumors "absurd," saying, "a friend is a friend."
"They've been friends for years, and they had dinner with a bunch of friends," Her rep later told Celebuzz. "They're not dating." New Couple Alert: Are Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Dating?
The rep went on to tell Us Weekly that there is no doubt there is nothing romantic going on between the two and that there were "three other people" with the pair at the dinner they attended.
Perhaps it's time the paparazzi learn that two people can co-star in a show together and come out of it nothing more than very close friends.

Supple leather. Expert construction. Lovely color. Could not be happier with my purchase.
Really like the feel of the bag. Was hoping for a little more structure (bag puddles), but probably due to the amazing softness of leather.
I bought this for recent trip, and it exceeded my expectation, leather is super supple and love the monograming
I absolutely love my new Leatherology bag. The leather is smooth and a pretty color. I got the gold letter initials and am very happy with my decision to do so. Would definitely recommend to everyone!
Love this bag! The leather is buttery soft and the lining is light but durable. There's an interior zip pocket for precious things, and two pockets on the other side to prevent keys and headphones etc rattling around in the main part of the bag. Seriously, this is one of the best bags I've ever had: stylish, sturdy and it feels great to wear. Leatherology is amazing!
Everything we get from you is perfect. Long may you live and flourish.
Birthday present for my 80yr old stepmother's birthday who really wanted & could not find, a "true yellow" tote. Added embossed initials. Initials are placed on the small tab, located at top. Coincidentally, my 18 yr old,college bound niece, also, approvingly, quizzed me about the vertical design and available colors.
Beautiful and excellent quality, as all your products are -- and beautifully packaged. I'd love another less deep inner pocket, but I will survive and will use this for years.
Very soft and lovely leather. Holds everything, with just the right amount of pockets for everyday use. I can easily carry my iPad, Kindle, phone, etc., and it fits nicely over the shoulder. I love it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the monogram is a disappointment. I had expected it to be somewhat larger and more visible. I should have, with the color of this bag, selected either silver or gold.
This tote is great. The leather is very soft, and the navy color is beautifuly. It arrived nicely packaged in a dust bag and gift box. Perfect "thank-you" gift.
My new cobalt blue tote is beautiful and functional. I get compliments every time I use it.
My daughter loved it. A great Christmas present.
I bought this tote as a gift for my 23 year old granddaughter,and she was delighted. (She left for London the next day and yes, she was carrying it! The color is exactly as pictured, the quality is excellent, the bag held everything she wanted to carry, all in the right places. It was an excellent purchase. (Just wish I had one too!!)

Use math skills to create designs like M.C. Escher! A tessellation is a shape that, when drawn, makes even the negative space positively amazing!
Dutch artist M.C. Escher experimented with a lot of different tricks in his art. Students figure out what is the real subject and what is the background by looking at his work!
Escher created art with a mathematical shape called a tessellation. To create a template for a tessellation, cut a 2 1/2-inch (6.4 cm) square of oaktag with Crayola® Scissors.
Begin at the top of the square to draw a simple curved line (no curlicues) with a Crayola Erasable Colored Pencil. Start and end the line at the top without touching any other sides of the square. Cut along this line.
Place the top straight edge of the cut-out piece along the bottom straight edge of the original square. Tape the two pieces together.
Turn the entire piece one-quarter turn. Inside the original square, draw another curvy line from what is now the top, back around to the top again. Cut out the new section. Tape it to the new bottom edge to make the template. What shapes are seen when looking at the template?
Place the template anywhere on Crayola Color Explosion paper. Trace around the edges carefully with the Color Explosion color-reveal marker. When the line is completely dry, slide the template until it lines up with the right edge of the first shape and trace again. Repeat until your designs fill the paper. Parts of the template should go off all four edges!
Decide what details are needed to draw inside the shape so people can understand what the object is. Draw these shapes the same in all of the tessellated shapes.
Challenge classmates to find the background of the picture--there is none! Students compare their designs to Escher's. How are they similar? Different?
Let's learn!
Create a 3-D braille chart simply with Crayola® School Glue, Markers and paper.

This recipe needs some serious mods. My potatoes cooked too slowly also, as well as unevenly. It didn't appear to be a size issue; I cut them into variable sizes and some of the big ones were well done while some of the little ones were not. And vice versa. Maybe it was variation between the potatoes themselves?? Anyway, they came out real dehydrated looking so I drizzled some olive oil on them before mixing them in with the other ingredients. I feel like the recipe should have called for this, *before* they were put into the oven. Also, I used the recommended amounts of lime juice and vinegar but it was WAY too sour. Otherwise it was OK...
Tasty and easy (one of my favorite combinations). I left out the mint and used a bit of cilantro instead. I served as a side vs over arugula. I also doubled the dressing and mixed in about 1/3 cup olive oil. Very happy w/ this one. I'll definitely make again.
This was super tasty, but the potatoes (I used a mix of yams & sweet potatoes) took closer to 30 minutes to roast even though I chopped them closer to 1/2 inch pieces. I substituted cilantro for mint and green pepper (diced) instead of orange or red, and used about half the salt and lime juice called for. I also served it on spinach instead of arugula, and wrapped it all into a whole wheat tortilla - a great healthy & easy (and vegan!) dinner I'll definitely make again.

Text of report by Indian news agency PTI
Leh, 10 August: Three French nationals, an Italian and a Spaniard were
among 23 foreigners killed in cloudburst and flash floods that
devastated Leh last Friday [6 August], even as 73 injured people,
including security personnel, were Tuesday flown out of the region by
IAF [Indian Air Force] for medical help.
The toll in the tragedy rose to 166, with 400 people still missing,
official sources said.
Three French citizens - [names omitted], an Italian identified as [name
omitted] and [name omitted] from Spain have been declared dead, they
Sixteen of those killed are from Nepal, namely Nema Zangmo, Tsering
Neklal, Bakta Bahadur, Kama Lama, Ajay Raina, Khunchok Gelak, Lakpa
Gyalmo, Shekhar, Mahurdin Ansari, Manee Patel, Ramesh Patel, Narai Badur
Sume, Santosh Kumar, Nel Badur, Saryanareyan Chaudhary and Anil
Chaudhary, they said.
Two other victims were Tibetans. They were identified as Pasang Tsering
and Tsering Yangkyid, the sources said.
Meanwhile, 73 people, including 49 security personnel, who were injured
at different places following cloudburst, were brought to Udhampur from
Leh for treatment in an IL-76 transport aircraft this morning, group
captain of Indian Air Force P.M. Vithalkar said.
A special control room has been set up in the Ministry of External
Affairs to streamline the collation and dissemination of information on
foreigners affected by the tragedy.
"Information about Indians and foreign nationals who have sadly lost
their lives, have been injured or are stranded in different parts is
being collated by agencies involved in rescue and relief effort," the
ministry said.
Even as a massive relief and rescue operation continued, the state
Revenue Department has begun a painstaking exercise to gauge the extent
of economic damage suffered by the district.
"What we feel is that 40 per cent of our infrastructure, which is
irrigation canals, link roads and bridges, have been destroyed. Another
40 per cent have been partially damaged. May be 20 per cent is intact,"
Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Chairman Chering Dorjay told
He said the cloudburst has severely affected agriculture. "We now have a
standing crop but all the irrigation canals have been washed away,
especially the headworks. In some places, the nallahs [drains] have
become deeper by as much as 20 ft," he said.
Even at a rough estimate, it will take a minimum of two years for the
disaster-hit district to be rebuilt and this would involve thousands of
tonnes of cement, steel, bitumen and other construction materials, he
The Leh calamity figured in the Lok Sabha [lower house of parliament]
today with two Congress members from Jammu and Kashmir
[Indian-administered Kashmir] requesting the centre [federal government]
to ensure all support in rehabilitation of the affected.
"Calamity has struck Ladakh. Thousands are still missing," Lal Singh
said during Zero Hour. Noting that the Centre had announced an ex-gratia
relief of 1 lakh [one lakh equals 100,000] rupees to each of those
killed, he said it was not enough.
His party colleague from the state, Madan Lal Sharma, also raised the
issue, saying thousands of people have been left homeless by the
BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] leader L.K. Advani asked his party MPs
[Members of Parliament] to donate 10,000 rupees from their salary for
providing relief to the victims and suggested that the MPLAD [Member of
Parliament Local Area Development] funds be diverted for rehabilitation
and rebuilding of the region.
"In the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting today, Advani suggested that all
MPs should give 10,000 rupees from their salary to Sangh Parivar's Sewa
Bharti, which is active in providing relief to the people affected by
flash floods in Leh," deputy leader of BJP in Rajya Sabha [upper house
of parliament], S.S. Ahluwalia said in New Delhi. The money will be
collected by the party and sent to Sewa Bharti soon, he said. "We will
take up this issue through Lok Sabha speaker and Rajya Sabha chairman in
both houses of parliament for diverting funds of members for Leh flash
floods," Ahluwalia said.
Several labourers from Chhattisgarh [central state], who were working in
the region, are reported missing, while seven were found dead following
the floods, the party said. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh has
promised all help to bring the survivors back to their home state and
provide relief to the families of the dead.

If you wanted to see the hit TV show "COPS" in Albuquerque, a simple internet search would get you there.
Years ago—"COPS" was given the message that they are not invited to film with the Albuquerque Police Department.
But, there is another law enforcement agency in the metro area that has opened their arms to the controversial show.
The shows are now YouTube hits and APD was filmed often.
But some thought it made our city look tacky.
The mayor at the time, Martin Chavez, let "COPS" know that showing some scenes to the world made Albuquerque look silly.
For years, "COPS" has not been in the metro area…until now.
Sheriff Dan Houston confirmed that he is allowing "COPS" to ride along with Bernalillo County Deputies.
"It does not give a perception for the city," Bernalillo County Commissioner Debby O'Malley said. "It doesn't promote the city or county in any way."
"Inviting "COPS" to come back to Albuquerque and Bernalillo County is like a big huge national negative media buy," Bernalillo County Commissioner Maggie Hart Stebbins said.
County commissioners oppose the show's filming and have written a letter to the sheriff asking him to change his mind.
They worry future business leaders may watch the show and get the wrong impression.
"Sending a national negative message about Bernalillo County makes it hard to recruit tourists, makes it hard to recruit new businesses to this community," Hart Stebbins said.
Some scenes have become online legends.
Legends the county leaders do not think represent the entire Albuquerque picture.
Sheriff Dan Houston would not go on camera with KOB Eyewitness News 4, but in a statement he said he believes the show will showcase his hardworking deputies.
Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said he would not invite "COPS" to ride along with APD because he is looking for ways to showcase all the good our city has to offer.

Irish two-year sovereign bond yields fell to close to zero today as confidence in Ireland's rebound gathered pace and ahead of an expected ECB stimulus plan.
Investors were also pushing for cheaper prices before a slew of debt sales this week and U.S. economic reports, which many expect will show the recovery in the world's biggest economy remains on track, in contrast to the grim outlook in the euro zone.
Top-rated euro zone bonds underperformed peripheral debt, with yields bouncing off record lows hit last week. Ten-year German, Dutch and French yields were 4 basis points higher at 0.92 percent, 1.10 and 1.30 percent respectively.
Peripheral bond yields were 1-3 bps up, not far from historic lows after anaemic manufacturing data from the currency bloc on Monday reinforced bets the European Central Bank will deliver more stimulus for the stuttering economy at its meeting on Thursday.
"We've had one heck of a rally following (ECB President Mario) Draghi's speech in Jackson Hole and we might be just seeing a bit of a pause for breath," said Nick Stamenkovic, a strategist at RIA Capital Markets in Edinburgh.
"Even if Draghi doesn't announce rate cuts or QE (asset purchases), I think he will open doors to further significant action further down the road and that should be enough to support the market at least for now."
Two-year yields on top-rated euro zone bonds remained firmly in negative territory ahead of the ECB meeting, with even Irish equivalents flirting near zero percent, a sharp turnaround in the fortunes of a country that only exited an international bailout late last year.
Banks including JP Morgan, Nomura and RBS are urging the ECB to cut interest rates this week, with some expecting the bank to lower the charges on the emergency loans (TLTROs) that will be made available to banks for the first time this month.
Dovish comments by Draghi at a central bankers' meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in late August sparked market bets that the central bank is preparing to pump more liquidity into the system, possibly via a broad-based quantitative easing (QE) asset purchase programme.
Sources from within the central bank told Reuters last week that new action on Thursday was unlikely but not impossible, and that the barrier to QE was still "very high".
While most market participants do not expect the ECB to take major easing steps this week, further measures are considered a matter of when and not if in the face of risks to euro zone growth posed by low inflation as well as the Ukraine conflict.
"People in the market have learned from the events of the past few years, we've had two instances when there was a lot of pressure on the ECB and people thought they won't deliver but they did," said Salman Ahmed, global fixed income strategist at Lombard Odier.
"Now the market has learned that, if pushed, the ECB will deliver. It's created a reaction function. The market is front- running Draghi and it can continue until QE actually happens."

"I was overjoyed when my invitations arrived at my home a few days ago. I had some design requests and while I approved the digital proof, I was anxious to see the final product. I could not have been more pleased. All my design changes had been made exactly had I hoped. The design had been centered appropriately to make up for the removal of the entire selection on the card (will be chosen at event). I cannot wait to send to my guests!"
"My RSVP cards turned out perfectly! I even added a spot on the back of the card for my guests to make a song request for the DJ."
"I just got these, and to say they are perfect would be an understatment. I love them! They match my fall them perfectly. The customer service at WPD is as always perfect. And the best part, I go them a whole 5 days earlier than expected."
"I needed a few changes made on the RSVP, as we are not having guests select their menu items. I needed the text on the front changed as well as text added on the back and the designers at WPD did a great job of listening to my comments and creating a beautiful RSVP for my upcoming October wedding."
"Even though this is part of a wedding invitation ensemble, we have changed some of the wording and are using it as an invite and response to our huge after party at a different location immediately following the wedding. Having a guest list way longer than the wedding venue will accommodate, this is the perfect way to include those friends we want to be a part of our special day."
