In your bag #161 – Philip Leong
Posted on by Bellamy
In your bag number 161, Philip Leong
There has been a plethora of Leica based bags recently, so it is nice to see a bit of variation. Philip brings us his bag from down under. Let's see what he has in his bag.
I am an academic based in Sydney, Australia. I mainly do landscape and travel photography and thought I'd send a photo for your wonderful "In your bag" series. In my Lowepro Photo Runner, I carry the following:
- Olympus E-P1 with 35mm f2.8 lens and finder
- Olympus 9-18mm f4-5.6 wide angle
- Olympus 45mm f1.8 Olympus telephoto
- Contax T3 which serves as my film camera. It has a wonderful Zeiss
35mm f2.8 lens.
- Olympus S20 flash
- Manfrotto table tripod
- Diary, pen and Swiss Army knife.
- Lumix FX33 (which is not pictured).
Apart from photography, my passion is fishing. You might be interested in visiting my 500px site: http://500px.com/phwl, or blog at:
Thanks for sharing your bag Philip. Nice to see a Contax T3 in there, they are great little cameras. Check out Philip's links and make sure you comment, as we love it when you do.
Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don't forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here.

i always wonder which is the better camera, the Contax T2 or Contax T3. have been for looking for a long time but still undecided.
Yay !!! An Australian bag !
Lowepro is from Colorado, United States.
Simon meant that Philip Leong, who is the owner of the bag, is Australian.

NEW ORLEANS - A presidential panel concludes that disasters like the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig could happen again without significant reform.
The panel's conclusions have companies involved in the nation's largest offshore oil spill pointing fingers at each other again.
A 48-page excerpt of the panel's report obtained yesterday by The Associated Press shows the commission described systemic problems within the offshore oil and gas industry and government
regulators who oversee it. The report also says such a disaster could happen again without significant reforms.
The full report is due to the president Jan. 11.
The Justice Department continues its own investigation, as does a joint U.S. Coast Guard-Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement panel.

Dictionary » D » Deoxyribonucleic Acid Deoxyribonucleic AcidDefinition noun A double-stranded nucleic acid that contains the genetic information for cell growth, division, and function.
Structure: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is composed of two strands that twist together forming a helix. Each strand consists of alternating phosphate (PO4) and pentose sugar (2-deoxyribose), and attached on the sugar is a nitrogenous base, which can be adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine. In DNA, these bases pair; adenine pairs with thymine and guanine with cytosine. Hence, DNA is a ladder-like helical structure. Location: DNA is found in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells, and chiefly in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. A small fraction of total DNA is present in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Function: DNA is a long polymer of nucleotides to code for the sequence of amino acid during protein synthesis. DNA is said to carry the genetic 'blueprint' since it contains the instructions or information (called genes) needed to construct cellular components like proteins and RNA molecules.

Meeting Notice for Interested Persons 9/22/08
California Institute for Regenerative Medicine 210 King Street, 3rd Floor
San Francisco, CA 94107
Meeting Notice for Interested Persons PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE GRANTS ADMINISTRATION POLICY for ACADEMIC and NON-PROFIT INSTITUTIONS BY THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE (CIRM) Organized Pursuant To Government Code section 11346.(b) and The CALIFORNIA STEM CELL RESEARCH AND CURES ACT |
OPEN SESSION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT Members of the Public will be invited to provide input regarding proposed Amendments to the Grants Administration Policy for Academic and Non-Profit Institutions, California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Division 4, Chapter 5, Section 100500. Background: The mission of CIRM is to foster and promote stem cell research with the aim of developing life-saving regenerative medical treatments and therapies. The Grants Administration Policy for Academic and Non-Profit Institutions ("Non- Profit GAP") serves as the terms and conditions for grant awards issued by CIRM and carries the force and effect of law. In addition, it provides guidance to Investigators, Grantee Institutions, and other recipients of CIRM funding on their responsibilities as CIRM grantees. The proposed amendments are both technical and substantive and reflect the experience of CIRM Staff and Grantees over the past two years. The proposed amendments can be viewed in red line format by following this link - http://www.cirm.ca.gov/reg/pdf/Reg100500 notice.pdf or in clean format by following this link - http://www.cirm.ca.gov/reg/pdf/Amended Non-Profit GAP Policy clean.pdf. Substantive changes are noted on the redline version. CIRM seeks input from Non-Profit entities, Academic Institutions, For-Profit entities and the public regarding these proposed amendments as well as the need for any additional amendments to the regulation. The current Non-Profit GAP regulation can be found on the CIRM website at http://www.cirm.ca.gov/reg/pdf/Reg100500 GAP policy.pdf. Written comments may be sent in advance by email to email@example.com, or may be addressed to CIRM at 210 King Street, San Francisco, California, 94107, to the attention of Cynthia Schaffer. For questions about this meeting, please contact Cynthia Schaffer at (415) 396-9241. |
The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine and its Independent Citizens Oversight Committee, and any subcommittees thereof, comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by ensuring that the meeting facilities are accessible to persons with disabilities, and providing that this notice and information given to the Members of the Committee is available to the public in appropriate alternative formats when requested. If you need further assistance, including disability-related modifications or accommodations, you may contact Melissa King at the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine at 415-396-9100 no later than the day prior to the meeting. |

The Heuer Autavia makes a great retro chronograph. They are a good size, they are mostly automatics (some even Cal 11's), and the majority of them feature some great funky 1970s coloring on the dial or hands. Best of all, you can buy a Viceroy or similar Autavia for under $2000, making it a pretty spectacular entry level vintage chrono.
You know about our love for what many consider the upper range of the Autavia line, the Jo Siffert with that bright blue second hand. There is, however, an Autavia that sits between the less expensive Viceroys and the relatively expensive Sifferts, and that is the Autavia Diver.
This watch looks very much like any of the other Autavias you see around online, but it features a unique decompression bezel. It is also rated to 100m. Add some bright orange hands and dial accents to the already relatively rare timepiece and you've got an absolute killer watch.
These watches can be found every now and then, but the real value lays within the condition of the decompression bezel and just how bright the orange accents are. In the case of the watch we've found today, you can't do much better. This example is being sold on Chronocentric with an asking price of 2200 euros (head only) or 2600 euros (with bracelet).

If any game is going to show off the graphical grunt of your shiny new Vita come February it'll be this one, as these new shots show.
The game looks even better moving and you can see 11 minutes of that action through here.
Uncharted was gladly among the 12 first-part games confirmed yesterday for Vita's day-one launch line-up in EU.

The Battle over Gruyere Cheese
on 25/12/12Gruyère cheese made in France is to now be different from the trademark Swiss Gruyère. A three year long battle had ensued about who owned the rights to produce the cheese. The makers of both the French Gruyère and the Swiss Gruyère claimed the mark of quality, the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, an official mark presented to regional produce which possessed their own uniqueness and were manufactured through traditional methods.
The French, wanting their cheese to be recognised far and wide, vied for the newer hallmark, Appellation d'Origine Protegée which the Swiss protested to because Gruyère originates from a Swiss town in the Alpine hills. The French Gruyère cheese is matured near France's border with Switzerland and so did not qualify for an Appellation d'Origine Protegée, but the European Commission recently announced the protection of the title "Gruyere" through the introduction of the requirement that French Gruyère cheese must be distinctly different and packaging must state the French origin with clarity.
Earlier on the Swiss Gruyère singularly profited from a similar protection, granted by a bilateral accord in between the EU and non-member Switzerland. Australian and New Zealand producers, along with the milk sector in America opposed the move to chart the French Gruyère as an individual product.

I imagine that one could build quite an extensive pulp collection just by having every magazine that your grandfather had a story in. Any idea just how many there were? I realize I could most likely find that info in your book about him, but I am feeling a bit lazy this morning (nothing new about that)so I figured I'd go to the source.

At last count there were 440 stories in Wild West Weekly. Then there are the other pulps, includng the WEIRD TALES stories pre-WWW, and all those after WWW. My aunt and uncle collected most of the WWW with his stories in them, and have also copies of most of the others. They fill two large bookcases.

Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace Details Her 'First Year as a Woman'
"Face your fears but choose the right skirt to do it in."
Last year, Against Me! singer Tom Gabel came out as transgender and shared that he'd begun the process of becoming Laura Jane Grace. While the road to complete physical transformation is a long one, to her fans and to her family — which includes a wife, Heather, and two-year-old daughter Evelyn — Gabel was quickly accepted as a woman. There have been challenges along the way, but the rewards of Gabel's astounding bravery have gifted upon Grace an admirable show of support. In a new first-person piece for Cosmopolitan titled "My First Year as a Woman," she explains just how she made it through and what she has experienced while transitioning.
In the piece, Grace explains that she first came out to Heather in early February. By mid-May, after attending the requisite therapy sessions to prove she was of sound mind, she'd begun taking hormones that "softened my skin, made my hair grow faster, and redistributed some of my body fat — my arms slimmed down and weight moved from my chest to my hips. And yes," before you ask, "I'm starting to develop breasts." In June she found an ally in tourmate Joan Jett, who joined Grace onstage to sing the Replacements' "Androgynous." By September, she'd worked up the nerve to wear a skirt in front of her fans. Grace says she was surprised by the number of fans who "stuck by" her.
Grace explains that the medication won't affect her voice and that though she plans to undergo sexual reassignment surgery, she isn't interested in changing the way she sings. She details her fears — that Evelyn will be teased about her daddy, that Heather will lose interest in Grace sexually post-op — but portrays an inspiring, positive outlook. Oh, and quite awesomely, Grace educates her daughter about the transition by showing her music videos and album covers for the New York Dolls, Boy George, David Bowie, and Freddie Mercury. "Face your fears, I say, but choose the right skirt to do it in," Grace writes at one point. We have a feeling Evelyn will understand that just fine.
Read the entire piece over at Cosmo, along with a short chat with Heather Gabel.

As we turn the page to 2012, it makes sense to sit back and take a look at what happened during the past twelve months in the IT Security world. If we were to summarize the year in one word, I think it would probably be "explosive." The multitude of incidents, stories, facts, new trends and intriguing actors is so big that it makes it very hard to crack into top 10 of security stories of 2011. What I was aiming for with this list is to remember the stories that also indicate major trends or the emergence of major actors on the security scene. By looking at these stories, we can get an idea of what will happen in 2012. Read Full Article

A skeleton crew of actors and technicians will produce a 75-minute version of Romeo and Juliet to school children across the valley. So how do you make Shakespeare relevant to kids?

In May 1985, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved 767s for long-range flights of up to 120 minutes from an alternate airport.
In March 1989, the FAA approved the 767 as the first jetliner for 180-minute extended operations (ETOPS). This allows more direct, time-saving trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic flights from many U.S. gateways.
After more than 15 years ETOPS has proven successful and is now part of airlines' routine operations. 767s fly more ETOPS flights than any other airplane.

Gov McCrory ignores this NC Medicaid Fact: Low spending growth
Posted By Adam Searing On March 20, 2013 @ 12:57 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
[1]NC's Governor Pat McCrory in his budget today filled in the hole in the Medicaid program left by two successive budgets from the NC General Assembly. That's good. But the Governor also said in the budget that, "The state simply cannot sustain this rapid growth in spending."
The problem with this statement is that it ignores the facts. NC has the lowest growth [2] in Medicaid spending in the nation, 3.5%. For example, over the same period, Virginia's [3] Medicaid spending growth was 9.2% and South Carolina's [4] was 7.5%. So, NC is doing pretty well saving money.
Sure, even the state best in the nation at controlling Medicaid costs could save more, but this shouldn't be at the expense of our poor people who need health services. We could control our prescription drug costs better by being more active in setting fair prices for drugs. We could fund "academic detailing" or helping our medical schools teach other doctors about the pros and cons of using the latest and most expensive drugs instead of leaving that up to the drug industry. We could allow providers to all practice at the top of their license, so people like nurse practitioners could provide more primary health care services at a lower cost.
These are all things we can do right now to save money. But let's start from the facts – NC is already doing a very good job.

There is nothing about this recipe that remotely resembles a Philly Cheese Steak. The person responsible for this recipe has obviously never eaten a cheese steak made in Philly. This recipe is a joke!
Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich
From EatingWell: March/April 2011
Most of the good stuff in a Philly cheese steak, from thin-sliced steak to onions, peppers and mushrooms, is still here but we opt for slightly-less-gooey but more flavorful provolone cheese in place of Cheese Whiz. We adore spicy banana peppers as a topping, but omit them if you can do without the heat.

My boyfriend and I LOVED this recipe. Followed the mixture recipe to a T, with the exception of the Banana Pepper and used shredded Italian blend cheese I had on hand. I did serve it open face, and with AuJus, for dipping. It was wonderful!
I couldn't find banana peppers, so I went without. It was so bland though that I added a couple pinches of cayenne pepper which helped. It needed a little help. But besides that it was good. I am sure there are better recipes out there though.

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors plans to unveil a line of revamped midsize pickup trucks later this year with gas mileage and features designed to take sales from Toyota's Tacoma.
The trucks will replace the aging Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. GM North America President Mark Reuss ((ROY-ss)) says they'll be able to do 95 percent of the work that GM's full-size trucks do.
The Canyon will go after buyers who need a truck for work.
The Colorado will aim for younger "lifestyle" buyers who use trucks to haul recreation equipment and play outdoors. Reuss says it will marketed toward a new generation of buyers, especially on the West Coast.

Official FCC app helps consumer know if they are getting the connection speeds they pay for
Posted By Denise On November 12, 2013 @ 3:56 AM In Android | No Comments
Curious if your mobile broadband provider is giving you the speed of promises? So is the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC is so interested, in fact, that they are launching an app that will help you track how fast your mobile internet speed is and report the findings.
In September 2012, the FCC announced their plan to measure performance of all mobile broadband providers. All four major providers, AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, and Verizon, agreed to be onboard with the study. A little over a year later and we finally have our first Android app, called FCC Speed Test. At the moment only the Android app is ready — and will be made available on Play Store soon — but an iPhone app is hopefully in the works.
In 2011, the FCC conducted a similar study on landline broadband providers. This study revealed that almost all landline providers were provided speeds that met or exceeded their advertised speeds. One company even raised their speeds during peak hours due to the study.
So, is those information going to net you better speeds on your mobile broadband? Probably not. It is supposed to help ensure that you are getting the speeds that you are paying for. The FCC is also hoping to use this information to ensure there is adequate completion between mobile broadband providers.

You might be wondering whether Auto Quick Income is a scam.
I don't blame you for asking the question, after all there are a lot of binary scams out there and this could quite easily be one. However I am happy to tell you it's not. I've been testing it since the 15th when it launched and my results are positive.
I'll be sharing my full review in my next post and sharing details on the specific trades I took. In the first week I actually traded a demo-account. In other words I used fake money after opening my real account so that I could test Auto Quick Income.
After week 1 I was in profit and things looked good, so in week 2 I switched to real money to see whether my results were the same. After 2 weeks (1 demo and 1 real) I had consistent profit and I'm very pleased with the results Auto Quick Income app has got for me.
Check back for my full review soon

A weekly scan of the Etsy forums will tell you that handmade sellers and artists who use the world's most vibrant marketplace are worried.
Worried about copycatters and worried about being called a copycatter.
When I was an Etsy seller, I sold my most popular style of necklace to another Etsy seller and was happy about the sale. Fast forward a month and I see the seller was now hawking my same necklace style in the same variety of colors at a slightly lower price.
Was I upset? Yep. Did I contact her? You bet. In our conversation she admitted that she was recreating the necklace but said she had purchased the supplies before receiving my necklace (which of course I didn't believe). In the end, she said she would remove the products from her shop and I was fine with that. There was nothing more I could do.
Or was there?
In this interview with David Lees, partner at law firm Mills & Mills in Toronto, I asked what artists can do to protect themselves and their work from being copied and what an innocent artist could do should they themselves be accused of doing the copying.
Artists being copied by another artist
Accusations are hurled daily and sadly it's just something that will continue to happen with the record number of sellers flocking to Etsy month after month. If you feel your original work was in fact copied and want to do something about it, here are a few things to consider:
Justine: What could an artist do if they find their work is being copied by another artist?
David: An artist should notify the other artist that he or she is copying their work. It is best if the notification that you provide is written such as in an email. It is important for the artist to keep a record of when they did their work and how it was displayed or published, and evidence of the offending work such as print outs of web pages, etc.
Justine: Can they be sued?
David: The other artist can be sued. An artist would have to commence a Statement of Claim against the wrongdoing artist. The claim might ask for relief such as for the wrongdoing artist to stop doing something or misrepresenting the artwork, or the claim may seek damages that have been suffered as a result of the other artist using copied work.
Justine: Would it make a difference to have disclaimers on their product pages (such as "please do not reproduce my work")?
David: For the disclaimer, it is helpful to show that the artist is clearly claiming ownership and that the work should not be reproduced. It would be helpful in court because it shows what the artist was claiming and expected. Unfortunately there is still an issue of proving whether the wrongdoing artist copied the work or not.
Artists being copied by big brand
A couple years back I saw this Etsy thread by shop seller vital who accused Urban Outfitters of reproducing their work after samples were sent. It was very obvious when I read this and saw the shirts in question that vital was indeed ripped off and not even in a lowkey way. And the fact is, there have been PLENTY more accusations to Urban Outfitters and other top brands since.
Justine: What could an artist do if they think their work has been copied by a huge brand?
David: An artist should immediately inform the brand of their concern and identify what is being copied. Sometime it is worthwhile to retain a lawyer to write on you behalf to communicate to the brand that this is a serious infraction and that you are intent on pursuing it. In order to prove their case the artist should have evidence of their work and when it was done and where it was available. The artist should also keep copies of the offending work such as webpages etc in order to preserve evidence showing that the artist's work was copied.
Justine: There had been talk on Etsy that a major brand had been consistantly stealing ideas and inspiration from Etsy artists and many felt there was absolutely nothing they could do. Is this the case?
David: While you can make threats about your work being copied, without better evidence it would be a very difficult case to pursue.
Artists wrongfully accused of copying
At anytime in your handmade career, this could happen to you. With so many sellers sourcing the same materials from the same places and originality being hard to spot among the saturated categories like jewelry and soap, you could one day receive an email accusing you of stealing someone else's work. While it doesn't mean you have anything to worry about, be aware of what you can do to protect yourself.
Justine: What should an artist do if they are accused of copying (and they did not do it)?
David: An artist needs to show that they developed their work independently of the work that they are being accused of copying.
What this means for YOU
As you can see by this interview, the common theme throughout is that in order to protect yourself fully from someone stealing your work or accusing you of stealing their work, you need proof that this work is yours and yours alone. To do that, here are a few helpful tips:
- Keep a product journal
While this isn't concrete proof, any time you go to create a new product, be sure to write down the product details and then more importantly, where the inspiration and idea for the product came from. Did you go for a walk in your garden and get inspired to make a flowery painting? Write it down. Any time a new product pops up, keep diligent track of where the idea behind it came from, how and when you first created it and any other important notes that could be used in court should someone accuse you of stealing their idea or you find the work copied by someone else.
- Screenshots are your friend
If you see someone or something that you believe is a rip off of your work, screenshot it immediately. Many times after your initial contact has been made with the artist or brand and they are alerted of your accusation (and whether their guilty or not) they will promptly remove the products in question leaving you with little proof if you didn't snap 'photos' of the products first.
- Records are gold
This is a no brainer but always be sure to keep copies of any correspondance or hard proof of conversations between yourself and other parties in question to ensure you can show this proof in court should you go that far. Same goes for shipping receipts (should you have sent samples of your work to a large brand) and receipts of materials you used to make your products.
- Get more creative
In the case of that seller who stole my necklace idea, there was nothing more I could do if she had ignored my initial contact or refused to stop selling the necklaces. Why? While I created the necklaces with my own inspiration, I sourced all my supplies on Etsy and pieced together the necklaces using tools and raw materials. If I had painted a necklace picture that was clearly ripped off, that's a whole other story.
If you are selling products that could easily be reproduced because of the materials or techniques you use, try learning new ways to create products that are more original and not so easily reproduced for both peace of mind and better business success.

In 1995 the appeals court sent the Pottinger lawsuit back to Judge Atkins. After hearing arguments from both sides, Atkins concluded Miami hadn't done enough. Once again the city appealed and the case went to mediation. The city commission approved an agreement in December 1997. Then there were months of hashing out the particulars. Finally Judge Federico Moreno, who took over the case, approved a plan in November 1998. (Four months later Judge Atkins died.) The city would shell out $1.5 million, including the $600,000 for people who could submit police records to prove they were homeless and wrongfully arrested between 1984 and 1997. Ten attorneys who worked on the case split a total of $900,000 in fees.
The compensation process started January 4, 1999. For about three months, ACLU attorneys and volunteers placed advertisements in newspapers and visited homeless shelters each week. The ACLU set up a workshop for people who needed assistance in filing claims. University of Miami and St. Thomas University law students even walked the streets to get the word out. "We literally spent hundreds of hours trying to locate people with potential claims and assisted them in filing those claims," Waxman says.
This past April, U.S. Magistrate Ted Bandstra decided 260 of 450 claims met the settlement's standards. The city requested re-evaluation of 60 applicants, contending those people did not provide sufficient proof. Bandstra will decide soon. "It would have been hard to envision eleven years ago," Ben Waxman says "These people have waited so long for this day."
Apryl Jenkins was homeless for five years; she's been clean for seven. Today she is off the streets, holds a part-time job as a janitor, and is caring for her five-year-old daughter. "Last time I was arrested I was so tired of going through that merry-go-round I told the judge I really wanted to put myself together," says the 37-year-old, who hopes to land full-time work as a city bus driver. The $1500, she says, will be spent on Christmas presents for her child and maybe a "cheap little car" for herself.
Ronald Sippio has been clean since December 31, 1993. He's jobless at the moment but hopes to start working as a cook at The Village, a rehabilitation center for former addicts. He plans to open a savings account with the $1500. "I don't hate the police, I really don't. I'm not angry at anyone. I'm just glad God gave me a chance to start over."
Things are still difficult for Veda Mobley. After quitting drug use eight years ago, she recently relapsed. The Florida Department of Children and Families took custody of her children, and not long ago she was in a car accident. Mobley, now living with her mother, is miserable. She'll use the settlement money to pay for drug treatment. "You know ... I'm having a really hard time," she says. "I tell you, it's a hurtin' thing. My mom tells me, 'Get up, pick yourself up, get going,' and I just can't."
Ronnie Houston says a $1500 check from the city won't replace a University of Hawaii basketball jersey that police burned; it was a gift from his cousin. But he welcomes the cash. In 1995, jolted by his grandmother's death, Houston quit using most drugs. "I got a totally different perspective on everything when she passed away," Houston says. "Before I was a man on a mission without a plan. Now I'm a man that's planning a mission. I find myself caring a lot more and thinking before I react."
Today the 39-year-old has a part-time job, a car, and a two-bedroom Liberty City apartment that he shares with his girlfriend, Dessie Hart, and her five kids. The dull, blue skull tattooed on his right arm and his marijuana habit are the traces of his past life as a drug dealer that remain. "I like where I'm at and I know it can get better," Houston remarks. "So why regress?"
He plans on spending the cash on home repairs and a one-day cruise for his honeymoon. "But it's really all up to Dessie," he asserts. "She has the last word."

Deadmau5 Searches for the Electronic Cheese at Ultra Music Festival 2011
Photo by Drew Ressler |
Mr. Mau5 is an electro idol. |
Mr. Mau5 will most likely grace his militia with staple claims to fame, "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" and "I Remember," along with a few new tracks like "A City In Florida" and recent single "Some Chords."
But is it his music or the gimmick that sells tickets? Well, he's still way too new to truly deserve this legendary status he's been so royally rewarded. But alas, what's more entertaining than a mass of Mau5-y bobbleheads sucking on pacifiers in drenched sports bras?
Whatever the reason, his uhhntz-ified stylings have captured the attention of millions, even earning him official DJ duties at last year's MTV Video Music Awards. But we must admit that we kind of miss those underground days. No one really likes a mainstream electro idol.
Deadmau5 as part of the Ultra Music Festival with a performance on Saturday, March 26. Bicentennial Park, 1075 Biscayne Blvd., Miami. Gates open at noon on Saturday. Tickets are sold out. Visit ultramusicfestival.com.

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Visitors to Nashville were long forced to alternate between the sprawling Vegas-without-vice Gaylord Opryland, the stodgy Hermitage, and a smattering of chain hotels that cheesily play off the city's musical heritage (think glowing jukeboxes and "Ring of Fire" on repeat sound tracks). At the Hutton, the first hotel to truly capture the city's sophistication, you're greeted by striking local art and friendly staff eager to point you toward underground bluegrass shows, hip vintage boutiques, and the newest resto-lounges. The 1808 Grille bar/restaurant draws Music Row power players, who close deals over haute home-cooking (try the pulled-pork risotto balls). Guest rooms have a comfy polish: Plush pillowtop beds are backed by tufted headboards, and cozy reading nooks are lit with sultry red pendant lamps. You'll find the luxury standard bearersspacious rain showers, flat-screen TVsas well as green initiatives like sensors that turn the power off when you're out, bamboo furnishings, and low-flow toilets. A hybrid car shuttles guests from the hotel's West End location to downtown's tourist attractions and honky-tonks, and you're a short walk away from Vanderbilt University, the kitschy concrete Parthenon, meat-and-three-sides diners, and chichi wine bars.2010 Hot ListWhich room to book: Upgrade to a room with additional media offerings, or business amenities, or fitness equipment for less than the cost of a round of drinks.

I'm a sucker for the scent of cinnamon and cloves. I often get a pot of boiling water on the stove with a couple of cinnamon sticks and cloves thrown in just to get the house smelling pretty (an awesome trick I learned from my mom). As good as it smells though, it's definitely not something I would ever want to drink.
But now, with this recipe, I can perfume the house and drink it too. :)
If you want to be the best hostess ever, get a pot of this Hot Mulled Cranberry Juicesimmering on the stove just before company arrives and then offer them a warm mug as they walk in the door. They may just set up camp and never want to leave. I know I would.
If you're in the mood to stir up a batch but you don't want to drink it all at once you can refrigerate the leftovers and heat up individual servings in the microwave later. It's a great drink to have on hand around the holidays for unexpected guests or just to warm up after an afternoon in the cold.
If only I took my own advice, because just talking about this is making me crave it – but alas I have no cranberry juice. Learn from my mistakes. Go pick up the ingredients for this right now!
- 1 litre cranberry juice*
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 mandarin orange, cut into quarters
- Place all ingredients in a saucepan, squeezing oranges to release their juices before placing in pot. Bring to a simmer. Simmer gently, covered, for 20 minutes to infuse spices. Strain before serving.
*Here is a recipe for homemade cranberry juice.
And now the giveaway!
Since I think you guys are pretty awesome for coming here and giving me a part of your day, I really wanted to be able to give you something fun in return for the holidays. To me photos make some of the best gifts and what better than a free canvas print of one of your own photos or artwork?
Easy Canvas Prints is offering one special Kitchen Simplicity reader a free 16×20 inch canvas print. You can keep it for yourself or give it away as a Christmas gift. And, even if you don't win you get a 50% discount (and free shipping) off your next order when you like Easy Canvas Prints on their Facebook page. Sweet deal, right?
Entry Rules:
- The print needs to be shipped to a mainland US address so make sure you have one available to you before entering.
- Leave me ONE comment telling me what foods you look forward to the most at Christmas time.
- Contest will end on Sunday, December 4th at 23:59 GMT and the winner will be announced on Monday.
Thanks again so much for reading and good luck to all! ;)

The Searching For Norman Ralph Heath Family PageUpdated September 6, 2000 |
I am searching for the family of Norman Ralph Heath. He was my father and the info is rather sketchy. He was born July 7, 1925 in Montgomery County, Alabama & died in April of 1976 in California. He was orphaned at an early age. It has been told that his father, L. Heath was murdered. His mother's name was Alice Harper. He married Mary Stout around 1952 in Jonesboro Arkansas. They later relocated to Chicago, Illinois. They had 2 daughters, Michele and Dena. He had 3 sisters, Helen, Eloise and Margeret. |

Beautiful Sink!
By Danielle M. from Ruidoso, NM on Nov 23, 2010
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Wow, this sink looks even better in person than it does in the picture! The quality and overall look is stunning! We purchased the oil rubbed bronze finish on the faucet and boy does it look great! The only thing I wish it had in the box was a template for the cuts needed to make the holes for the faucet on the vanity. Other than that, the directions were complete. A great buy!

We had shopped around and we could not find a better value package. It also included the accessories that were required for the sink and faucet to be installed.

Better than picture

The sink was even nicer than the picture shows. Installation was not a problem. We bought an antique bedside cabinet. Extended the legs for height and put the holes in. It looks great. Everyone we show, says "I want one!"
We love our bathroom now!

Studying different species is the link between microbiology and our ecosystem. We have been studying animals from the beginning of the human experience and have not only learned a lot about how animals interact with the ecosystem around them, but also a lot about ourselves. Throughout history, we have had a fascination with animals and have benefited, be it through agricultural practices or to enrich our lives through companionship. Simply being in the presence of animals is enough to peak our curiosity and desire to know more.

Czech design collective Vyrobeno Lesem's (Made by Forest) exhibition at Vienna Design Week 2012, was literally made beside, and of parts, of the forest.
For Vyrobeno Lesem inspiration from the forest finds physical form "through experiments involving tradition, magic and craft".
(Click the images below for full sized images)
Considered combinations of materials include blown glass shaped by pine cones to make a delicate bottle, a wooden brush with pine needle bristles and wallpaper with graphic images of forest plant life.
"The resulting works hold a spirit connected to the forests from which they come. The final objects are recordings of memories from forest visits."
"They are interpretations of individual experiences, driving each designer's works and ultimately the entire collection."
"A visit to the forest and back.
We spend time in the forest and appreciate its tranquillity.
There are beneficial effects to being in the forest, and so it is natural to want to bring them into the spaces we inhabit. Both in obvious and subtle ways, we actively seek out objects which radiate the forest atmosphere into our homes.
Amongst the participants in Made by Forest, a common fascination of the woods has given rise to the individual collections presented, each processing the feelings and materials in unusual, intimate ways.
The magic of the forest: ants, scents, moss, a cuckoo, textures, woodpeckers, sounds, pitch, bark stuck on the sole; all of these details influence us, will remain with us well-after the visit, and are bringing the forest into our homes.
Association pasted out of memories.
A piece of forest in each of us.
Only pine needles remain."

MESA -- A fatal wreck involving a man changing a tire on westbound U.S. 60 between Dobson and Alma School roads sparked a serious traffic backup Tuesday morning.
It happened at about 6:30 a.m. According to the Department of Public Safety, this was a chain-reaction wreck involving five vehicles.
It started with a pickup truck that was stopped in the gore point, possibly to change a tire.
A blue Hyundai that was on the ramp to get onto the freeway was hit from behind by a gray 2001 Audi, causing it to slide into the stopped pickup. The pickup then hit the driver, who was walking back toward a highway assistance vehicle.
The driver was knocked onto U.S. 60 and he was run over by a white van.
The victim has been identified as Kevin Maples, 31, of Chandler.
The driver of the Hyundai was taken to a nearby hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
The wreck was blocking three of the six freeway lanes. The Alma School eastbound ramp was also closed. The backup at 6:30 a.m. was between three and four miles. An hour later, that backup was up to five or six miles.
DPS was finally able to re-open the freeway to traffic shortly before 10 a.m.
The driver of the Audi, Darcy Gaye Christensen, 46, of Scottsdale, was cited for failure to control a vehicle to avoid a collision and driving in violation of a restriction.

Anti-semitic graffiti suspect identified
The Department of Public Safety has identified a student allegedly responsible for at least one of the bias-related incidents that occurred over the weekend, the Office of Communications reported this afternoon.
Four students in two dorm rooms were the victims of bias-related incidents in New South Hall on Sept. 6 and 11. The perpetrators drew swastikas and wrote "Hitler" on the victims' dry-erase boards. A similar incident occurred in Darnall Hall last weekend, according to the Department of Public Safety.
DPS told members of the Jewish Students Association that a number of the residents on whose doors the offensive graffiti was found were not Jewish, according to Eric Hoerger (SFS '12), vice president of social affairs for JSA.
Jesse Mirotznik (SFS '12), co-president of JSA, said that the group does not believe that the incidents represent a serious threat to the Jewish community.
"While it is undeniably difficult to pre-empt such bizarre and hurtful incidents, we do believe the University and its administration take such issues very seriously, and are proactively trying to prevent similar bias-related incidents into the future," Mirotznik wrote in an email.
DPS had been collaborating with the Metropolitan Police Department, according to a joint email from Vice President of Student Affairs Todd Olson, University Safety Vice President Rocco DelMonaco, and Kevin O'Brien, S.J., executive director of Campus Ministry.
Representatives from Residence Life, DPS, and each of the University's chaplaincies convened a town hall-style meeting at Village C Alumni Lounge on Tuesday night to address community concerns.
"This is very much the kind of behavior that is a threat to the values that we hold as a community," Olson said. "We find it very troubling."
Olson added that DPS, resident advisors, and University chaplains had followed up with the victims of each incident.
"Incidents such as these that affect one community touch all communities," O'Brien said.

A photo cake would be good for this, since you don't need much else for decoration if you have a good photo. It would also make doing a theme easier, especially if you're not a baker, don't have cute cake pans and don't do much cake decorating on your own.

Today Gievers says she entered the Nogues case for one simple reason: because four children were unjustly languishing in the foster-care system. "They needed an attorney," she explains. "And since I don't believe any child should be stuck in foster care, I said, 'All right, I'll represent them.'" Judging from court documents that chronicle her involvement, however, Gievers's explanation doesn't quite ring true.
In her initial appearance before a judge, July 11, 1991, Gievers identified herself as counsel for guardian June Shaw, not as an attorney representing the children. According to a memo sent that same day from Guardian Ad Litem program director Joni Goodman to Judge William Gladstone, "Karen Gievers has agreed to represent June Shaw and the Program in any depositions of June by the Nogueses' attorney, Edward Carhart."
Her more specific duty, Carhart asserts, was to keep Shaw -- whose actions in the case are now under criminal investigation -- from giving a sworn statement. As Guardian Ad Litem attorney Robin Greene explained a few months after Gievers entered the case: "I'm a separate attorney for the children. Karen Gievers, as a result of the criminal case, represents June."
In recent months, Gievers's claim that she represents not Shaw but the four youngest Nogues children, has led her to press relentlessly for the parents to be cut off from their kids altogether. While Gievers dismisses the shift as a semantic quibble, the Nogueses' lawyers argue that she is attempting to distance herself from June Shaw and the Guardian Ad Litem program specifically because federal law prohibits a guardian's attorney from presenting evidence in court of child abuse or neglect.
More telling, Carhart says, Gievers's actions have tainted her reputation as a child advocate. "If Ms. Gievers wants these kids out of what she calls 'foster care,' why has she served as the chief impediment to reunification of this family?" Carhart wonders. "Why did she lobby Judge Gladstone to disregard evidence that the children she calls her 'clients' are in danger in the Porras home?" Time and again, Carhart insists, Gievers's fiercely adversarial courtroom style has distracted attention from the real issue: the painful fracturing of the Nogues family. One such incident occurred last May, after New Times published a story detailing Diane Schetky's testimony. Gievers demanded an emergency hearing to hold HRS attorneys, the Nogueses, and their lawyers in contempt, based on her contention that someone had leaked Schetky's confidential report to the media. To Carhart it was just another example of Gievers's ability to shift the focus from human suffering to legal haggling.
Gievers, who is president of the Dade County Bar Association and an announced candidate for state insurance commissioner, stresses that she is merely defending her clients' rights. But Carhart says he has trouble understanding how her clients are served by maneuvers such as Gievers's recent demand for a hearing to determine if Andres Nogues's parents should be allowed to visit their grandchildren, whom they have not seen for almost two years. "What the hell have the grandparents done?" Carhart roars. "What is Karen Gievers doing trying to cut these four small children from every single member of their family? Is she afraid any outside contact will break Michelle's control over these kids?"
Yet despite her strident advocacy and long involvement in the Nogues case, Gievers appears surprisingly unfamiliar with some of its most important details. For example, when asked recently by New Times about Ellen Christopher's 1990 investigation of alleged abuse against the youngest Nogues child, which suggested the five-year-old had been sexually abused while in the Porras home, Gievers stated that she didn't have "a present recollection of that specific report."
Rather than address obvious mistakes made early in the case, she has repeatedly emphasized to reporters that her "clients'" wish to remain in their current placement. "Children have rights," she says. Gievers insists the Porras home is a healthy, "nonadversarial" setting.
For those who have watched the psychic transmutation of the four youngest Nogues children, that claim is dubious. Videotapes taken over the past five years reveal children who have had their identities slowly, mercilessly turned inside out. The parents they once adored have become objects of murderous hatred at the same time that a severe dependence on Michelle Porras has prompted one daughter to suggest that she would rather commit suicide than return home.
While the three older siblings are now living happily with their parents, their three younger sisters and brother remain phantom pawns, hidden from the press, shielded from the courtroom drama that swirls around them, and thanks to Gievers, forbidden from seeing any relatives besides each other and Michelle.
Home videos taped while the Nogues family was still intact picture all four children cavorting happily around their Kendall home, in company of parents, siblings, and numerous pets. Videotaped depositions taken in late 1989, just six weeks after their forced departure, reveal them to be in good spirits, if somewhat disoriented. Indeed, during these sessions, and in subsequent statements to police and HRS investigators, the youngest children repeatedly deny that their parents ever abused them. They express confusion about why they've been taken from their parents, and a desire to return home.

@MrMoody - There may be a smaller market for theoretical physicists, but I think that it's one of the most fascinating careers for physics majors. Just because their work is theoretical doesn't mean that it's not grounded in fact. I think yesterday's theories in science are today's facts, like the theory of relativity.
I remember watching this program on public television about string theory and the nature of the universe. It was hosted by a theoretical physicist who had written a best-selling book on the subject. It was absolutely fascinating.
He explained technical concepts in an easy to understand manner with everyday illustrations, and the graphics were stunning. He later appeared on talk shows as well.
Of course, I realize that not every theoretical physicist is going to become famous, but we still need them out there to pique our interest into what lies beyond the edges of current scientific realities.
