The Council Speaks!
And, before I go away and leave things to Miss C, how about some Watcher's Council posts?
Here are the results of the June 30th contest:
Among the Council posts, the prime cuts were:
- The Dance of Escalation and Retraction by ShrinkWrapped
- How Do You Solve A Problem Like…Korea? by The Glittering Eye
- Sanction of the Victim by Dr. Sanity
Among the non-Council posts, your best of the best were:
- It's an Islamic Jihad, Stupid by Townhall.com
- Peter, Paul, and Ingrate by Florida Cracker
- Why We Shouldn't Prosecute the Reporters and Editors of the L.A. Times and New York Times — Just Yet by Patterico's Pontifications
And how about these excellent pieces from the July 7th tilt?
The best of the best last week was Gates of Vienna's missive about our allies across the pond, "Wild, Wild, West(ern Europe)".
James Joyner's look at what might have been had there been an internet in 1776, "The Declaration of Independence: A Fisking" won among the non-Council entries. He squeaked out Jeff Harrell's lament on the political tone of the day, "Sometimes Even the Good Ones Lose Their Way" on a tiebreaking vote by the Watcher himself.
Be sure to keep an eye on the Watcher's Council (links to the right) each week I'm away. Your reading will be rewarded.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Over a hundred firefighters climbed the tallest building in the Rogue Valley as a symbolic gesture to the lives lost 12 years ago on September 11th.
The tribute to the World Trade Center attacks is an annual tradition at the Rogue Valley Manor for southern Oregon firefighters.
Firefighters got their protective gear on and climbed ten stories to the top. Once firefighters reached the roof, they had a moment of silence to honor the victims and those fallen first responders. There were about 343 firefighters lost their lives in the 9/11 attack.
Firefighters have been honoring the victims by climbing the manor stairs since 2002.
"It's a good memory for us to think about our firefighters, and the seriousness of our job, the role that we take, and to try and take on a little bit of the burden by climbing the stairs," explained Fire District 3 fire chief Dan Petersen.
Petersen says this year the climb was different for many firefighters. There were some wildland fire crews that joined in the climb and were also remembering the Oregon firefighters who lost their lives battling this year's wildfires.
A fire chaplain also did a short service once crews reached the top of the roof. There were many friends and family members of those fire crews who also joined for that service.

PUEBLO, Colo. - Two possible ballot proposals have been placed on the table. The focus- expanding gambling to Arapahoe, Pueblo and Mesa counties.
A Rhode Island company is backing the initiatives. Twin River World Wide Holdings Inc. owns Mile High Racing and Entertainment. It also runs the Arapahoe Park Race Track in Aurora.
Pueblo County Commissioner Sal Pace says the initiative would allow "race-inos." The combination of casinos and within race tracks. It would allow slots, tables and video lottery terminals at the Aurora race track, as well as two future tracks in Mesa and Pueblo counties.
So far, the proposals have brought mixed reactions.
Anneliese Moore has lived in Pueblo since the 1950's. She says she does not support expanding gaming to Pueblo county.
"It brings all kinds of undesirable people that will contribute to it not being a family town like it is," said Moore.
Randy Sandavol doesn't agree.
"We already have 'lottos' and scratch tickets. I know that's helping, so I'm sure we'll be able to put it to good use," said Sandoval.
Action 22- a lobbying group in southern Colorado says it will wait until they know how voters feel about the issue before taking a solid stance.
Cathy Garcia, the groups CEO and President, says people didn't support it in 2003, and she's not sure public opinion has changed.
The Gaming Association of Colorado says it will wait until the language of the written proposals have been finalized until taking a definitive stance.
But the executive director say, if gaming expansion is not done carefully, it could be detrimental for current gambling towns, like Cripple Creek.

What should I do if I see the message "The combination of IP address and subnet mask is invalid"? |
Try the following:
For example: IP address of your router or access point: 192.168.1.1 IP address of your printer: 192.168.1.3 For the subnet mask, 255.255.255.0 is normally used for small-scale networks (all devices on your network should use the same subnet mask). Also, when a gateway value is set, use the same value as the IP address for your wireless router or access point. |

Claudio Osorio of Miami, FL, admitted responsibility in US District Court last week to running a large-scale investment scam. Under his plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Osorio pleaded guilty to two charges of wire fraud conspiracy and another charge of money laundering conspiracy. The 54-year-old Osorio, honored as Entrepreneur of the Year in 2007 by Ernst & Young, was known for his jet-set lifestyle and connections with celebrities and politicians.
The Entrepreneur of the Year's scheme revolved around his firm Innovida Holdings, a manufacturer of hi-tech carbon construction panels. To bolster the company's credibility, Osorio enlisted former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Gen. Wesley Clark onto its board of directors. From 2007 to 2011 he then used Innovida to defraud several wealthy investors and the US government out of a total of $50 million.
Osorio pitched his carbon panels as a perfect fit for low-cost housing projects overseas and told potential clients Innovida would generate 6-10% returns on principal. Their money would be safe, he claimed, since it was supposedly backed by a Middle Eastern sovereign wealth fund. Besides, Osorio would tell investors, Innovida was an American success story, worth upwards of $250 million. Yet the magnanimous Gulf Arabs backing the company turned out to be a mirage, and in 2009 Innovida held less than $185,000 in its accounts.
Rather than generating cash with his carbon panels, Osorio was paying out false returns from one investor to another. In 2010 he even managed to persuade the White House to facilitate a $10 million contract to Innovida through the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), a US government agency that funds various international projects. The money was meant for Haiti disaster relief after the island's massive earthquake, but Osorio used it to pay previous clients demanding their principal back.
Osorio was certainly a smooth operator, leveraging his "star power" to create the image of a businessman with the magic touch. By living it up with professional athletes and putting on charity events and fundraisers for politicians like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, he was able to maintain the illusion of Innovida as a successful investment and encourage wealthy Miami developers to buy into his Ponzi scheme. Osorio also indulged himself with client funds, spending half of their $40 million on luxuries like his Star Island mansion, a Maserati and membership at a posh country club, not to mention ski chalets in Colorado and Switzerland. It's also thought he might have squirreled a significant amount into unknown Cayman Islands accounts.
Meanwhile Innovida CFO Craig Toll, 64, has pleaded not guilty to the charges in his indictment, claiming he had no awareness of Osorio's fraud. Osorio, expected to receive less than the maximum 30 years for his offenses, is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on May 9th.
- Age: 54
- Company: Innovida Holdings
- Supposed Job: Entrepreneur
- Scam: Investment in carbon construction panels
- Profits: 6-10% annual return
- Ponzi Time: 2007-2011
- Evidence: Material Misrepresentations; Fraudulent Wire Transfers
- Number of Victims: 10
- Amount of Fraud: $50 million
- Location: Miami, FL
- Indictment: 23 counts of Wire Fraud, Conspiracy, Money Laundering
- Court: U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida

Last week, School District No. 46 continued to expand their basketball programs at the elementary level, with a 12-team play day for the Grade 4/5 athletes, followed by two tournament days for the Grade 6/7s.
The early start developmental basketball presently going on in the district has clearly paid dividends if the showing of the Elphinstone, Chatelech and Pender Harbour secondary schools recent successes is any indication.
It was an all Madeira Park final vying for the 'C' flight trophy, while the 'B' flight trophy was battled between the two West Sechelt entered teams. This may have been the best game of the day, as the teams finished full time tied at 14, so it was decided by the one-minute shootout, where all players on both teams attempted baskets in a minute. West Sechelt won 8-7.
The consolation final in the 'A' flight was another good game with Halfmoon Bay defeating Cedar Grove 15-12.
Gibsons and Kinnikinnick squared off in the championship final, with the Gibsons girls knocking down two late baskets to win 13-8. Thanks again to Emily, Stephanie and other referees and scorekeepers for their assistance on the days. Thanks also to the staff, Ellen Thomas and the PE department for giving up their gym for two days.
The Grade 6/7 boys tourney held at Elphinstone and Gibsons Elementary School was again officiated well with the help of the high school athletes, notably Liam and Kai Moore, Sam Knight, Carlos Tingley, Rob Manuel, Quinn Gerard, Liam Selmes and Ian Marcelo. Thanks also to scorers Sienna, Isaac, Kaia, Chrystal and Georgy. Thanks also to Clint Fox and Lynn Moran for their help on the day.
In the 'C' flight consolation, Halfmoon Bay defeated West Sechelt 9-3, while Roberts Creek three-team took home the championship edging Madeira Park 15-14.
The 'B' flight was battled between the Gibsons one-team and the Cedar Grove two-team with Cedar Grove winning 14-9.
Davis Bay and Langdale surprised everyone making it into the 'A' flight consolation final, with Langdale getting bragging rights. But probably the best basketball of the day was in the 'A' final, where a strong Roberts Creek team battled right up until the final horn, losing a squeaker to the Cedar Grove one-team, 14-12.

The Shop Behind the Truck: Sugar Rush's Home Base, Sweetness Bakeshop
A couple weeks back we showcased some of the store's inventive custom-made fondant cakes -- but there's a lot more to be found in the inviting, cool-colored space. First off, there are, surprise, savory items! A range of sandwiches and other simple lunch fare keeps the suburban spot bustling even at lunchtime.
Inside Sweetness |
There's another important fact about Sweetness worth pointing out to party people. Should the sugar craving strike in the wee hours, it's the only bakery around open late -- "until the last person leaves" on Fridays and Saturdays, which is usually around 1 a.m.
Sweetness' key lime pie shot |
Sweetness Bakeshop and Cafe. 9549 Sunset Drive, Miami. Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 10 a.m. "till the last person leaves" on Fridays and Saturdays; 11 a.m.to 7 p.m. Sundays. Closed Mondays. 305-271-7791; sweetnessbakeshop.net
New Times: How long has your shop been open? Did any of you have a formal culinary background, and if not, how did you decide to take the leap into opening a brick-and-mortar store?
Stephanie Perez-Diaz: None of us have had any formal culinary training. We grew up with my mom always baking; it was something that became natural to us. We toyed with the idea of opening a store for a while. We tested the waters out first by working from home until the demand got too big and we were basically forced into opening a store.
On our last visit, the mini cupcakes were selling briskly even at early lunchtime. |
We rotate our flavors every day; usually we pick our flavors the morning of. Not having a set menu allows us to be more spur-of-the-moment with our flavors. If I see a mango vendor on the street on my way into the store, that'll be the flavor for the day. We try to take inspiration from the seasons, pop culture, and what our customers request and recommend.
We're always experimenting in the kitchen, but Mondays (the one day the store is closed) is usually the day we're all back there testing out new ideas, whether it be a cupcake or dessert.
On your web site, you specifically note that you use butter in your buttercream (so it's not pure white) -- so it seems that ingredients are important to you. What other high-quality ingredients are you proud to use?
We don't cost-cut when it comes to putting out a quality product. We pride ourselves in using high-quality ingredients such as pure Madagascar bourbon vanilla, buttermilk, pure cane sugars, fresh fruits (and veggies sometimes too!), whipping cream, whole grain flours, and the best chocolates from around the world. We use different types and brands of chocolate depending on what we're using them for.
A cupcake ode to Miami, the Guayabera (guava-filled, of course) |
It changes pretty often. For right now it's the champagne, which is a vanilla bean cake, filled with champagne sabayon, topped with champagne buttercream. It was a flavor we created for New Year's.
Finally, what new items are in development for the shop and/or the truck that customers should look out for?
That's tough. We're always working on new stuff for the store and truck; it's a matter of which makes the cut! We've been working on making "G.O.A.Twiches," which is our G.O.A.T. chocolate chip cookie, sandwiched with ice cream in the middle.

Patient Praise
With everything else going on, it is very easy to forget the difference we make in people's lives every day. The people to whom we provide care and their loved ones really appreciate the work that we do!
Below is a letter we received from a patient that is a true testament to the difference each and every one of you make. Together we make Banner Gateway and now Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center the best place to receive the best care!
"I am writing to you to give a big thank you and say I am so thankful for your staff! My husband was to have a procedure at your hospital after being referred by another physician. Due to a miscommunication by that other physician, the procedure had to be delayed by a week.
When we showed up a week later for the procedure we were fortunate to get some of the most amazing staff we have ever met. The people that we came in contact with were wonderful people and excellent at their jobs. They made us feel comfortable and answered all of our questions. They took their time and did not make us feel like we were inconveniencing them when small problems came up. By the time the whole procedure was done we felt a lot more comfortable about everything.
Thinking back now, the delay was a blessing because we got the care that we did from the staff that we did. I just wanted you to know that even though my husband had to go through a bad procedure, your staff made it a lot more bearable and less stressful for both of us.
Everyone always lets doctors and nurses know what they did not do for them, so we wanted to let you know what you DID do. Thank you for being so kind and caring! Banner Gateway is somewhere I would definitely go back to!"

With the first of this summer's two three-week 'holidays' coming up, Eddie Jordan may be more grateful than most for the break.
His itinerary over the past week has been relentless. He was in court on Monday, giving evidence for his team's High Court case against Vodafone, before flying out to China to visit the Shanghai track that is due to host the first Chinese Grand Prix. His impressions of the new venue were good.
"The facilities are excellent," he said this morning to a group of sponsors in the Jordan motorhome. "It's incredible how sophisticated the new tracks are in F1. The track designer Hermann Tilke and his men have done a fantastic job - and the track itself looks excellent and very challenging. I'm really looking forward to going (back) there."
But Jordan spent just two days in Shanghai prior to jetting back to Europe and walking straight into a media storm about his team's High Court case. In the two days that he had spent in the Far East events had moved on quickly. It had become apparent that he wouldn't win the case, so he immediately announced his decision to withdraw from it.
He then went straight to Hockenheim for the German Grand Prix, and the usual rounds of team owner and sponsor meetings. "I have to say," says Jordan, "that this has been a particularly hard week. I'm looking forward to a few days off during the three-week break on my boat, Snapper, in the South of France."
Of course, prior to the reality of a holiday, Jordan has qualifying and Sunday's race to worry about - and the relative lack of competitiveness of his cars. They were 14th (Giancarlo Fisichella) and 17th (Ralph Firman) fastest in this morning's second free practice session, after both drivers complained of balance problems with their EJ13s in the 38-degree (Celsius) heat.

The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club to hold Annual Teen Etiquette and Abstinence "For You I Will" Ball
The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club will hold its annual Teen Etiquette and Abstinence "For You I Will" Ball on the evening of Friday, May 4th from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at The Robinson Theater, 2903 Q Street in Richmond.
This ball is the culmination of an 8-week "For You I Will" program at The Club that aims to teach teenagers about building healthy relationships, marriages and families through open group discussions, guest speakers, and engaging exercises; "planting the seed of promise for a lifetime of joy and fulfillment for tomorrow."
Each week, the issues facing today's youth are addressed and topics range from self-image to boundaries to peer pressure with the ultimate goal and hope that the program will equip Club youth with the necessary skills that will enable them to avoid common mistakes and correct the misconceptions of sex and relationships.
The positive and beneficial choice of abstinence is also a "For You I Will" program topic.
"Our hope is that this program will help play a role in lowering teen pregnancies and STD transmission in our neighborhood," said Paul Granger, The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club Teen Director, "and we also hope to increase healthy life choices and create stronger family units."
"We pray that God is glorified, that teens in attendance have a great time, and that they learn to be a little wiser in their relationships," added Granger.
The program includes guest speaker, Khidhra Smith, of The A-Team and Salimah's House.
For more information about The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, please contact Hugh Jones, Executive Director, at (804) 591-3831.
Smith is a entrepreneur, motivational speaker, writer, and radio disk jockey. As a child, she was overweight, bullied, teased, and often isolated by her peers. As a teen, Khidhra's lack of understanding of healthy relationships affirmed her need to please and created a strong desire to satisfy others at the expense of herself. She struggled with caring about what people thought, comparing herself to others, establishing boundaries in relationships, speaking up for herself, and communicating how she really felt just to name a few. As a result trials and tribulations such as STD's, pregnancy, and abortion awaited her.
In the fall of 2010 Khidhra received her call into the ministry and serves as a minister-in-training at her church, Mount Gilead Full Gospel International Ministries in Richmond. She minister's to youth in the areas of abstinence and self esteem, and living a holy lifestyle unto God. Since the start of Salimah's House in 2005, she has partnered with over 40 public school systems, recreational centers, boys and girls clubs, young men Christian associations, churches, colleges and universities, residential group homes, homeless shelters, and other nonprofit organizations to facilitate her programs and bring her message of empowerment to youth and women across the United States.
She is a licensed Clinical Social Worker; a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and holds a bachelors of Science degree in psychology and a master's of social work degree.

Did you know skin is the largest organ of the body comprising of two layers, the upper 'epidermis' and the lower 'dermis' which are further divided into layers. These layers contain skin cells responsible for various functions. The lower most layer of the epidermis contains cells which produce pigment called melanin. This pigment Melanin is basically responsible for giving our skin its natural colour. Our skin tone highly depends on the amount of melanin produced by our skin cells. Melanin production at times get affected in situations like illness, injury or any kind of damage or disturbance in skin cells. Pigmentation is a kind of coloration of living tissues (plants, animals and humans) by pigments (melanin). |
The colour change may happen due to both overproduction and reduced production of melanin. The condition where one suffers from overproduction of melanin is called Hyper-Pigmentation where as the condition where one suffers from reduced production of melanin is called Hyper-pigmentation. In hyper-pigmentation state, the skin tone tends to get darker than its usual colour, while in hyper-pigmentation the skin tone tends to get lighter than its natural colour.
The other reason why pigmentation occurs can be because of thickening of the epidermis layer and its vascularity. Normally when one suffers from pigmentation disorders, you get to see white patches on some parts of the body or the whole body.
You should avoid getting yourself overexposed to strong sun rays. Make sure that you apply sunscreen when going out in the sun.
Skin pigmentation problems include:
Freckles Pigmentation is yet another type of pigmentation that is the cause of concern for many people. Freckle is also termed as ephelides which are usually brown spots on the skin commonly found on face or arms. When exposed to sun, they might get darker or increase in number. This condition generally occurs due to uneven distribution of the melanin (pigment produced by skin cells) in the skin.
Our Results
Melasma is a common type of skin pigmentation wherein patchy, brown, tan, or blue-grey facial discoloration, appears on the facial skin that is exposed to the sun. This problem is most persistent among pregnant women, women taking oral contraceptives and women getting hormone replacement therapy during menopause.
Our Results
Under eye dark circles is also a type of skin pigmentation that can make you look older, exhausted, stressed and depressed. It is a common non-hormonal skin condition and can be very distressing. Dark circles can be caused by stress, excessive exposure to sunlight, inadequate sleep and fatigue. Seasonal allergies, a cold, a sinus infection can also cause under eye dark circles.
Our Results
Q Switched ND: YAG Laser – In this procedure we at Clear Skin Clinic penetrate laser beams which break pigment cells and destroys the pigment. This is taken by macrophages to limp glands for destruction.
Alpha Beta Hydroxy Skin Rejuvenating Solutions: Alpha Beta Hydroxy Skin Rejuvinating Solutions are applied to the skin that causes it to "blister" and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. This treatment is also used to treat age lines – the wrinkle lines around the mouth and eyes.
The procedures used are virtually painless; only involving a slight prickling or burning sensation. The results obtained by lasers and IPL are dramatic which can remove unwanted, artificial and natural pigmentations safely, leaving you scar free and care-free.

Bladder cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the bladder. The bladder, which is located in the lower abdomen, is a hollow organ with flexible muscular walls. Its primary function is to store urine until a person is ready to urinate.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body (in this case bladder cells) divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue, called a growth or tumor, forms. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not invade or spread.
There are three main types of cancer that affect the bladder. They are named for the type of cell that becomes cancerous:

I will have a few 1/4 scale fuses for purchase by the first of the year? I was trying to help some builders/followers of this Reiher build thread, if they did not want to build the complicated fuse. I had to use a custom made building jig to get and keep the wooden body true. Scratch built several years ago from my plans. Geez, I am sorry if I offended anyone. Jim |
Dec 05, 2012, 06:36 PM | |
I was actually trying to find a F/G fuse before I started this kit but couldn't find one. I thought I had a line on a Bob Sealy fuse but it didn't happen. Anyway, this will give me a chance at making a wood fuse. I've built plenty of models but never the "half shell" design. Should be fun. I have the tips from Scale Soarng UK and it looks do-able.

No Problem:
The halfshell is a P. in the A. I've done three different ships. No matter how careful, some of the formers just will not line up. Be perpare to deal with the 1/16 to 1/8 misalignment. I would suggest only "tacking" each former in place to the stringers. I have a extra long building jig, so I glued the half formers together. Glus the tail piece in place and the widest former in place, then filled in the rest. Just one way - with good sucess. Good lucj Jim Quote:

Preventing Mortgage Abuse
HOPE Hotline to Help Avoid Foreclosure
If you are currently having, or anticipate having difficulty making the payments on your mortgage, or have recently received a foreclosure notice, you are urged to contact NeighborWorks' HOPE Hotline at (888) 995-HOPE (4673), or at www.995hope.org. Counselors on the HOPE Hotline are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to advise you on the resources available to Massachusetts homeowners.
The Division of Banks has implemented a coordinated plan designed to address abuses by mortgage lenders and brokers. Several recent investigations have produced evidence that some mortgage lenders and brokers have purposely steered perspective consumers, often of low and moderate-income or limited English language ability, into loans that they can not afford by using misleading tactics and, in some cases, committing fraud. The plan combines enforcement and regulatory initiatives and community and industry partnership and outreach, including a summit of government, industry, and non-profit organizations to craft a coordinated statewide foreclosure prevention strategy.

My reaction to the draft grade stuff was mostly in response to my old editors going, "give us letter grades for the Texans draft so we can put together a draft grade post." And me going, well, this is sort of a dumb exercise because nobody knows how these college kids are going to play on the next level with these particular teams, not even the smartest draftniks in the world.
Everybody gets it wrong. And there's no penalty if you say the Texans will rue the day they drafted the pizza boy JJ Watt other than embarrassment if people bust you on it.
The letter grades = dumb.
Giving your early thoughts on things based on what can be known at a particular time is cool and trying to find more information great, as long as you don't fall in love with your oh-too-early opinion or don't recognize the limitations of giving opinions at this time with the information that is available.

News10NBC is still waiting to hear about a vote in the state Assembly to delay the implementation of Common Core. That proposal is expected to be voted on sometime this week.
Many lawmakers have said they share the frustration of parents and teachers and that the new standards were implemented before everyone was ready.
Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb held a news conference with his fellow members of the minority conference, calling on fellow lawmakers and the governor to reform the Common Core standards.
Assemblyman Brian Kolb, (R, 129th District) said, "Today is about publicly calling for the legislature and the governor to work together to come up with whatever steps immediately so that our students and their families do not go through another stressful testing season with no remedy to materials being appropriately taught and appropriately supported by our educational institutions throughout the state."
Kolb says he feels the reform of Common Core is as high of a priority as budget issues in Albany.

Service Systems and Social Innovation: Exploring Service, Value and Innovation within the Social Enterprise
Stephen Tracy University of Toronto, Faculty of Information, Canada |
Kelly Lyons University of Toronto, Faculty of Information, Canada |
Service science, a growing multidisciplinary field concerned with the study of service systems and the value co-created within them, offers fresh perspectives, theories and analytical tools for understanding service innovation within businesses and organizations today. In recent years this emerging field has expanded considerably. However, despite significant advancements in developing a foundation of knowledge, methods, concepts and tools, a great deal of the existing scholarly contributions have focused on the study of service systems, service design and innovation within the context of competitive profit-seeking entities that focus on a single, financial bottom line. This paper aims to contribute to a relatively unexplored dimension of the service science literature through an investigation of a special type of business venture, the social enterprise.

Sony Europe announced the new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S800 digital camera that will be available in May 2007. The feature that will catch the most interest is the 6x optical zoom in the camera. It's interesting since the S series of cameras is typically considered to be entry-level, so its nice to see something other than your standard 3x optical zoom. The camera takes 8.1 megapixel shots and has a 2.5 inch LCD with 230K pixels of resolution.
(view large image)
The Sony S800 is definitely targeted at entry level users, especially ones looking for a solid, more expensive looking camera. The metal body looks very stylish (similar to other recent S models). A built-in Function Guide and on-screen guidance provide help with the camera's settings and functions. Another useful feature for beginning users, in this category of camera, is the 30 frames per second movie capture mode.
The 2.5 inch LCD provides a high-resolution image with it's 230K pixels. There is no type of optical viewfinder on the camera.
(view large image)
The 6x optical zoom lens can also take macro shots with subjects as close as 2cm. A capability to shoot at sensitivities up to ISO 1250 can come in handy for fast-moving subjects or places where you don't want to use the built-in flash.
An included NiMH AA battery pack provides enough for 390 shots per charge. 56MB of internal memory are available for when your Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick Pro Duo runs out of space.

Below are the list of published case studies of Motoza's past and current clients:
Case Study for Organic Ease
Company Profile
Organic Ease, established in 2006, is one of the leading natural health providers of aloe vera pills, designed to reduce and help aid in the relief of digestive disorders such as ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease. Their product is primarily sold online on their e-commerce website.
The Situation
With monthly revenues gradually dropping each month, Organic Ease was struggling to keep their doors open before working with Motoza. With limited manpower and an enormous dependence on internet marketing for their cashflow, Organic Ease was desperately looking for someone to bring their campaign back to life.
Organic Ease was unnecessarily pouring thousands of dollars per month into Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns such as Google Adwords and Microsoft AdCenter. Although more sales resulted through these marketing avenues, the costs were significantly cutting into their net revenue.
Furthermore, Organic Ease's subsidiary websites, each created to target a specific digestive disease, were poorly laid out and design, making them unappealing and very difficult to navigate for human visitors.
Finally, competitors in the industry increased their online marketing campaigns and had a stronger presence compared to years' past. Because of Organic Ease's competitors' successful online presence, this unfortunately pushed down the search engine positions and severely limited exposure to their primary website and its subsidiary websites in Google. Making things worse, the competitors were progressively destroying Organic Ease's reputation by posting false rumors and comments around the internet about the quality of their product.
Because of the different problem areas in Organic Ease's current internet marketing campaign, Motoza had to break down the solution into several parts and tackle them simultaneously. The list below highlights some of the primary focuses of the campaign.
Search Engine Rankings:
Organic Ease's main website had some traction in the search engine rankings, but its subsidiary websites used to promote individual digestive diseases were relatively unknown on the internet. A vast amount of link, content, and website optimization were performed over the course of several months, resulting in successful increases in traffic and overall sales as detailed in the Results section.
Website redesigns, usability tests and conversion techniques helped drastically lower the monthly cost being spent on PPC campaigns. These have successfully decreased the cost per customer acquisition and increased the number of incoming leads.
Reputation Management:
With so much false information targeted against Organic Ease on the internet by their competitors, Motoza's goal was to clean up as much of the negatively as possible. Multiple forum and website owners were contacted to take down these postings and any accusations towards the client and their product were answered in a professional manner.
Customer Service:
While Organic Ease's customer phone support team remained exceptional, other avenues of maintaining their former and current customer base were improved. In addition, their email marketing campaign was revamped and was successful at increasing the number of leads and sales.
In the span of approximately 5 months, Organic Ease was able to accomplish the following:
Organic Ease's Primary Website:
- 107% increase in their sales conversion rate.
- Average value per order increased by over 20%.
- 78% cost reduction in their monthly PPC spend.
- Top 10 rankings for highly competitive keywords in the industry.
Organic Ease's subsidiary website #1:
- 46% increase in visits.
- 25% increase in pageviews.
- 38% increase in average time on site.
- Top 10 rankings for their niche digestive disorder keywords.
Organic Ease's subsidiary website #2:
- 32% increase in visits.
- 16% increase in pageviews.
- 10% increase in average time on site.
- Top 10 rankings for their niche digestive disorder keywords.
From start to finish, all of these factors led to an impressive 50% increase in monthly revenue for Organic Ease!

When all you have in your yard is dandelions . . .
... Then it's time to make dandelion wine. When my Granny Jessie passed on, in the early 1990's, one of the things that came to me was a little square wooden box full of recipe cards, although to be frank and fair, Granny Jessie probably did not use the recipes in it; some pre-printed on standard stock, cut out from magazines, others hand-copied in pencil, or merely cut from newspaper pages – and most of those are as brittle as ashes. No, I think she saved them because they intrigued her, or someone at a church pot-luck supper who brought something that she liked the taste of, scribbled it down for her, and she thought that she might make them someday.
Some of the recipes cut from the newspaper have dates on them – from the 1970s mostly. Some of them, of course, may be older. But Granny Jessie wasn't that much of an adventurous cook – even before Grandpa Jim died; Grandpa Jim being one of those who thought salt and pepper was about as far out on the culinary edge of things as any human being ought to go. No, Granny Jessie did basic, early 20th century American cooking – which, when it was good, was very good. Her rice pudding (with raisins in it!) and her version of shoo-fly pie was sublime.
Among the adventurous curiosities in the little wooden recipe box was a newspaper clipping which so intrigued me that I copied out all the recipes therein – the topic was dandelions. Everyone knows what dandelions are, and people who are proud of their lawns spend a great deal of effort, expense and toxic chemicals eradicating them . . . and expense and effort which might not be necessary if we considered dandelions as a garden crop, instead. Yes, indeedy, the darned things are edible – at least when they are tender and young, and have not had any of the aforementioned chemicals poured upon them. Instead, what about a salad of dandelion greens – with bacon! Everything goes better with bacon! And what about dandelion wine?

Fry until crisp – 3 slices bacon. Arrange in a flat, shallow dish, several cups of clean, dry dandelion greens, and crumble the bacon over it. Garnish with finely chopped chives and parsley. Dress with 2 TBsp vinegar and 1 TBsp olive oil, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
Dandelion Crowns
Trim leaves from whole plant, just where they turn green. Trim off root, just below crown, and clean thoroughly. Simmer for 5 minutes in water, then drain and simmer in fresh water another five minutes. Serve with a little melted butter and fresh pepper. Crowns may also be marinated for at least four hours in ½ cup olive oil, ¼ cup vinegar, 1 sliced garlic clove and a thinly sliced onion.
Dandelion Wine
Clean sepals from and wash thoroughly 6 cups dandelion blossoms. Place in a sterilized jar and cover with 3 quarts boiling water. Add rind from 2 lemons and 2 oranges, Cover mouth of jar with plastic wrap and allow to set for 2 days.
Strain liquid into another sterilized jar and stir in: 2 ½ pounds sugar, juice of 2 lemons and 2 oranges, ½ lb raisins, coarsely ground, and ½ package yeast. Cover and set away for one week. Strain into a gallon jug, adding additional water to fill, if necessary. Seal tightly and allow to ferment for 3 months. When it stops fermenting, pour into another jar and allow to stand until clarified. Bottle, and seal, and allow to age.
I have stolen you Granny Jessie's reciepe for dandelion wine. I intend to begin making some as soon as the dandelions begin to bloom.
I'll let ya' know how it is in about eight months or so
The only thing that stopped me was that... well, that part of So. Cal was not conducive to my plan. There were no hollow trees, and since Dad did the best nature walks around, there was damn little to live on, except for acorns ... which had to be ground up and have boiling water poured through them in order to be rendered edible, and that actually sounded much more trouble than just hunkering down and enduring middle school hell.
I note you don't say you ate the dandelion salad nor wasted your time making wine.
You can eat raw acorns -- you just don't want to.
Stinging nettles are a better dish than dandelions, despite the stings you'll have to endure between plant and pot even if you wear gloves. Stinging nettles are kind of weedy tasting, which in my mind is a huge improvement over bitter dandelions.
One question here ... it seems that in one of my herbal books, it lists dandelion as a diuretic. Is this true?
Penelope Ann -- out in California
M - I think the key is that they have to be very young and new leaves. If memory serves, the very new and young leaves are about the same degree of flavorfulness as the spring green mix sold in the up-scale supermarkets. Pour on enough oil and vinegar, and sufficient bacon, I expect that anything would become palatable!
No, I haven't ventured to brew a vat of dandelion wine... I passed on the recipes from Grandma Jessie's box'o recipes as a curiosity only.
I'm going to watch for some in my garden this spring, and depending on how many I find, I'll do a salad or maybe add some to soup! Thanks for this fun post -- Penelope Ann

A Community Assistant's attitude and demeanor, ability to relate to all groups of residents, attentiveness to those who enter the building, and enjoyment of the job depend on proficiency in these three areas. Community Assistants work in the hall in which they live and are paid hourly.
New students are eligible to apply for a limited number of Community Assistant positions at the start of the 2014-2015 academic year. Interested new students should contact their Assistant Hall Director for application materials and timeline details.

The new Broadway show Looped closes at the Lyceum Theatre after just playing 27 preview performances and 25 regular Broadway performances. The short-lived comedy starred Valerie Harper (best known from TV shows Rhoda and Valerie) as the outrageous actress Tallulah Bankhead on a day when she had to come into a sound recording studio to "loop" a single line of a dialogue – a much larger challenge that one might expect. The play was written by Matthew Lombardo and directed by Rob Ruggiero, and co-starred Brian Hutchison as an aggravated film editor and Michael Mulheren as a sound engineer. Although Looped was well-reviewed by critics, the play simply couldn't drum up enough ticket sales to keep running.

Justin Bieber Enters His Axl Rose Phase, Apologizes for Concert's Two-Hour Late Start
Singer finally took the stage to a smattering of boos
Justin Bieber has provoked the anger of the two constituencies he can't afford to alienate: his fans and their parents. While the singer was set to perform in London last night at 8:30 p.m. local time, he didn't appear onstage at the O2 Arena until 10:20 p.m., according to the BBC. As TMZ records with the video below, a few people booed. Bieber has apologized, but like the 19-year-old he is, he apologized for something different than what people are mad at him for, insisting he was only 40 minutes late to stage and that his show was "great." Then again, it took Guns N' Roses' infamously tardy Axl Rose a whole decade to apologize for a 2002 Cleveland no-show. That said, Rose apologized for his next missed Cleveland appearance, at last year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, almost right away. So maybe Bieber should save his sorries for some distant future Swag Hall.

Thanks to Bobby Flay Vegas Visitors Can Now Order Margaritas To Go
Vegas doesn't really need to push any more alcohol on tourists, but Bobby Flay has just made it that much easier to get drunk on the go. According to Eater, Flay's latest outpost of his chain Bobby's Burger Palace includes what could be the world's first Margarita To Go Bar. Cactus Pear and Mesa frozen margaritas will be among the offerings, but no word yet on what the cups will look like. We're hoping the celeb chef goes the souvenir cup route for his to-go concept. The legality of serving margaritas to go seems a little dubious, but the restaurant is in Vegas after all.

Type of breech mechanism that was key to developing an effective repeating rifle. It combines the firing pin, a spring, and an extractor, all housed in or attached to the bolt. A projecting handle with a round knob moves the bolt back and forth. As the bolt is thrust forward, it pushes a cartridge into the chamber and cocks the piece. The trigger releases the spring-driven firing pin inside the bolt. After firing, the extractor on the head of the bolt removes the spent cartridge and ejects it. The bolt then moves a new cartridge from the magazine.
