Very glittery
Apr 15, 2014
By Gail
I love the MS line of letter stickers, they are easy to lift off the original base sheet and easy to position on your project. This set are about 1/2 inch tall, flat (not foam backed), and very glittery. The glitter is embedded, so they dont flake. I bought these to use on dyed easter eggs and christmas ornaments and they are great. They adhere well and havent started to lift. The MS line of alphabet stickers are my first choice.

The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike will explore the possibility of reducing the dependence on private contractors for waste management by deploying new compactors, said BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah here on Saturday.
He was speaking after inspecting the dumping yards at Lakshmipura, Bingipura, Kalbalu and Gollahalli.
He said the BBMP would deploy its staff to handle the compactors instead of depending entirely on private contractors and the civic authority would get more involved in the waste management process.
Apart from deploying machinery such as compactors, it would also look into the recruitment process of the pourakarmikas.
The Commissioner also inspected the spraying of effective microorganism solution at the Lakshmipura and Bingipura dumping yards and directed the officials to take precautions to prevent the stench from reaching the adjoining villages.
The Commissioner also visited the 60 acres of land at Kalbalu that was handed over by the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation to the BBMP for a dumping yard.
Processing unit
A BBMP press release said Mr. Siddaiah also directed the Chief Engineer (Solid Waste Management) to set up 200 to 300-tonne processing unit at Kalbalu.
Officials have also been asked identify two to three dumping yards in each zone so that the waste can be managed at the zonal level.
An Accounts Superintendent of the BBMP has been placed under suspension for alleged dereliction of duty.
A press release issued here said that the official, Ramamurthy, had failed to submit all the details regarding the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report to the High Court of Karnataka.
Following this, the Commissioner directed the BBMP's Additional Commissioner (Administration) to place Ramamurthy under suspension.

NEWPORT, Oregon - by Michelle Homer/ www.khou.com - A former Galveston resident may have killed more than a dozen young women in the Northwest, according to authorities.
Canadian authorities believe he's the serial killer they've been hunting for more than four decades.
Bobby Jack Fowler died of lung cancer in an Oregon prison six years ago.
Fowler was arrested for kidnapping and raping a woman at a Newport, Oregon motel. The victim escaped by jumping from a second-story window, unclothed and with a rope tied around her ankle.
Fowler was convicted in 1995 and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
In January of 1995, Jennifer Esson and Kara Leas, both teenagers, vanished on a Newport road. Loggers found their bodies several weeks later. The cold case was reopened in 2009 and DNA tests linked Fowler to the murders.
He's also been named as a person of interest in the 1992 murders of Melissa Sanders, 17, and Sheila Swanson, 19. They disappeared during a camping trip near Newport. Their bodies were found months later, but the case was never solved.
Authorities in British Columbia confirmed Tuesday that Fowler's DNA has now been linked to at least one of the infamous "Highway of Tears" murders that have haunted the Vancouver area for years.
The remains of 18 young women were found along three Vancouver-area highways between 1969 and 2006.
One of the victims, 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen, was killed in 1974. She disappeared while hitchhiking to a friend's house. At the time, Fowler was working as a roofer in the area.
"We are simply stunned and very grateful for their hard work," Shawn MacMillen, the victim's brother, said at Tuesday's news conference.
Other evidence has connected Fowler to two more unsolved cases from 1973.
He has been eliminated as a suspect in eight of the Highway of Tears cases, but the investigation continues into the others.
Authorities say Fowler was a transient who traveled between the U.S. and Canada, working odd jobs.
"He stayed and lived in motels or rented, and liked old cars that he drove until they quit," police said Tuesday. "He frequented bars and restaurants and was violent toward men and women and picked up hitchhikers."
Investigators describe the "Highway of Tears" case as one of the most complicated in recent history.
"This is huge. This is tough. We have people who are deceased. We have witnesses who are deceased. We have people who we believe may be responsible who are deceased," one lead investigator said.
As many as 75 investigators have worked on the crimes through the years. They've looked at several suspects including Seattle serial killer Ted Bundy.
Fowler lived all over Texas -- including Galveston, High Island, Bolvar Peninsula and Gilchrist -- most recently in the late 80s and early 90s. Police in British Columbia are asking anyone who knew him to come forward to help them trace his whereabouts.

MONACO, Dec 15 (SW) - Hamburger SV defeated Slavia Prague in the UEFA Cup on Thursday, but the Czechs do advance to the next round as CSKA Sofia failed to take advantage at Monaco.
Hamburger SV - Slavia Prague 2-0
Just nine minutes had been played when Sergej Barbarez put Hamburg in the lead. The Germans, who had already secured their spot in the next round, scored a second through Emile Mpenza in the 57th minute.
Slavia, who spent most of the match with only ten players following Matus Kozacik's red card in the 28th minute, now depended on the result in France.
AS Monaco - CSKA Sofia 2-1
With Slavia's defeat, CSKA needed a draw to take the third position in Group A. Monaco turned out to be too strong however, and scored through Olivier Kapo in the 49th minute and Sebastien Squillacci in the 75th.
The Bulgarians were given renewed hope when Petar Dimitrov got one back in the 83rd minute, but Monaco held on to their lead and helped Slavia to the next round.
Monaco and Hamburg both have 9 points, followed by Slavia and Viking with 4. Slavia have a goal record of -2, while Viking are stuck at -3. CSKA Sofia are last with three points.

I don't think mine are messages from God. It's just very cold outside and they prefer the warmth of my room. It is mid Winter and to be honest I'm surprised there are any ladybugs about!

Watching how my pups play just warms my heart.
We were a little nervous how Zander (gsd)would treat daisy ( min pin) if he would play gentle enough. And I'm so happy to say those two LOVE each other he is so gentle with her and will play tug with her and let her think she's actually putting up a fight and sometimes even let her win. When they are in the pen together they cuddle and sometimes when he is chewing bones he will bring her one to play with. Does anyone else have similar situations. Needles to say we couldn't be happier. I wonder if he just knows to be gentle.

That's great Delgado and Jazzy have a love/hate relationship, though it is getting better and it's now not unusual to find them side by side sleeping on the couch or bed. Jazzy will not just run behind me now if she's scared, she'll go to Delgado if I'm not close enough which is pretty amazing.

These little blades do the trick every time. They come in a pack of 2 and cut through several pages of regular weight paper and 1 page of stock card paper. I wouldn't use it with anything else heavier. Being that I have 2 blades now I put a red mark on top of one and change it out when I am cutting something heavier then just paper.

Setaram recently announced the latest addition to its Hy-Energy product line, the PCTPro-E&E (energy and environment). This completely automated Sievert gas sorption instrument is capable of using multiple gases to characterize today's most promising materials.
Two versions of the PCTPro are available: PCTPro-2000 and PCTPro-E&E. Both of these instruments have the ability to operate within a wide range of temperature (-260 to 500°C) and pressure (vacuum to 200 bar).
The PCTPro-E&E is ideally suited for the study of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) materials and methane sorption onto geological substrates. Applications include gas-reaction compounds and high-surface-area adsorbents, including carbon materials (nanopowders, films, fibers, nanotubes); adsorbents for CO2 storage and separation; activated alumina (gas and liquid purification); molecular sieves (zeolites, MOFs, etc. for gas separation and vapor removal); and methane adsorption on substrates.
The PCTPro-2000 is designed for the characterization of hydrogen sorption properties of a wide range of materials, including gas-reaction compounds and high-surface-area adsorbents such as hydrogen storage materials (metal hydrides, alanates, amides, MOFs) and carbon materials (nanopowders, films, fibers, nanotubes).
For more information, call (510) 793-3345, fax (510) 402-4705 or visit www.setaram.com.

• In 1944, Sinclair began teaching mathematics at the University of Toronto, and started writing plays for CBC Radio to make some extra money.
• Lister Sinclair's broadcasting career spanned six decades. He wrote, directed and performed in some 400 dramas in the early days of CBC Radio. On television, he was one of the first producer/hosts of The Nature of Things. He produced many television documentaries, dramas and programs, and made frequent appearances on Front Page Challenge, Telescope, Horizon, Festival, Court of Opinion, Wayne and Shuster and Morningside. For 16 years he was the host of CBC Radio's Ideas.
• Lister Sinclair was a founder of ACTRA, the Association of Canadian Television and Radio Artists (now Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists), was vice-president of the Canadian Conference of the Arts, and served as executive vice-president of the CBC.
• On Oct. 30, 1985, Sinclair was awarded the Order of Canada.
• In the fall of 1999, at age 78, Sinclair was replaced by Paul Kennedy as host of Ideas.
• Foremost among Sinclair's many passions were Shakespeare, classical music, and mathematics. He said the beauty of each lay in their elegant "arrangement of ideas" - something that became his life's mission. Sinclair knew or worked with world leaders in many of these fields. Their common reaction was that of renowned accompanist Graham Johnson, who was dazzled to find that in a field in which he had worked his entire life, Sinclair "seemed casually, even nonchalantly, equally informed and at home."
• To celebrate his 80th birthday, Sinclair hosted an online chat. One participant asked the obvious: "How did you get so damn smart?" Sinclair credited working with smart people, and childhood reading of books "good, bad and indifferent. The range of books didn't make me into a highbrow. There was so much exciting trash around that I came out some kind of 'omni brow'."
• Lister Sinclair is remembered for his distinct accent, described by Toronto Star writer Peter Goddard as "cultivated, knowing, and 'upper' - but upper what?" Mishearing his name, some listeners thought Sinclair was being overly formal, believing he began each broadcast with "I'm Mister Sinclair."
• When asked why he kept working so late into his life, Sinclair simply replied, "Stop pedaling, and you fall off. I don't wish to rust out. I don't mind wearing out. But rust out? No."

Respond to Review of Krishna's Cuisine
by arild
Review: This place is nice and relaxed. It's situated in a shopping center. But I guess those places need some extra good spirit, so I'm glad there is a veg restaurant there. The soup was very salty, so I hope this was a slip in the kitchen. The main dish was nice, though.

The Daily Tribune (
If Angels' Trout is disappointed, he'll probably get over it
By Mike DiGiovanna
Monday, March 4, 2013
Los Angeles Times (MCT)
TEMPE, Ariz. Ś History shows that whatever resentment Mike Trout and his agent feel toward the Los Angeles Angels after the team unilaterally renewed the star outfielderÆs contract for $510,000 on Saturday will dissipate in time.
Adrian Gonzalez had his contract renewed for $380,000 by San Diego in March 2007, and a month later he signed a four-year, $9.5 million deal. Ryan Braun was renewed by Milwaukee for $455,000 in 2008, and two months later he signed an eight-year, $45 million deal.
Jered WeaverÆs early negotiations with the Angels were contentious. He sought a $10 million bonus after being drafted in 2004 and held out for a year before settling for $4 million. His contract was renewed in 2007 for $385,000, $5,000 over the major league minimum.
The Angels ace got over it. He signed a team-friendly five-year, $88.5 million contract in 2011.
ōIt stings a little bit - you do some good things your first year, you want to get rewarded,ö Weaver said. ōBut you learn from the veteran guys, this is the process. You have to earn your stripes. You take it with a grain of salt, go out and perform, and everything will take care of itself.ö
There have been no talks about a long-term contract between the Angels and Trout, the 2012 American League rookie of the year who hit .326 with 30 homers, 129 runs and 49 stolen bases last season.
Some are concerned that SaturdayÆs renewal, which agent Craig Landis said ōfalls well short of fair,ö could affect future negotiations, perhaps even alienate Trout enough that he bolts when he becomes a free agent in 2017.
But Trout was already putting the renewal, which is for $20,000 over the minimum salary, behind him Sunday.
ōMy time will come,ö said Trout, who went hitless in three at-bats in a 4-2 exhibition loss to a Chicago Cubs split-squad team. ōI just have to keep putting up numbers and concentrate on one thing, getting to the postseason.ö
Angels General Manager Jerry Dipoto expressed confidence he wonÆt have a disgruntled leadoff batter when the season starts.
ōMike is a great kid - heÆs wired the right way,ö Dipoto said. ōWe have every faith in his desire to be a great player. HeÆs going to go out there and bust his tail.ö
A bigger concern might be LandisÆ public acknowledgement that Trout is disappointed he wonÆt be the teamÆs primary center fielder this season after playing Gold Glove-caliber defense there in 2012. Peter Bourjos is expected to play center, with Trout playing left and center.
ōIÆm a center fielder, obviously - thatÆs my main position,ö Trout said. ōBut as an outfielder, I should be able to play all three. IÆm just happy to be in the lineup.ö
Would manager Mike Scioscia make a lineup decision to placate a player that wasnÆt necessarily best for the team?
ōWhatÆs best for the team is whatÆs best for the player,ö Scioscia said. ōMike is going to be a center fielder, no doubt. We understand thatÆs his position. But right now, his versatility is going to make us a better team.ö

Tag Archives: technology
Technology is a beautiful thing. It makes our lives infinitely easier in insurmountable ways.
Do you ever think about how different life was just 15 years ago? Or 25 years ago!? Children today will never understand what it's like to live without a screen in their face – and while that can be a scary thought – the benefits outweigh the negatives no matter how you look at it.
I just found out that there are now 'robot' bartenders – and that has been something I've been dreaming of since I tasted my first drink at the ripe old age of 17.
A team of engineers developed that AI above and named him Monsieur – yeah, like your very own personal drink butler.
It's basically just a techy version of those drink dispensers (of which I once owned but gave up on because of how sticky the booze makes the taps), but it actually makes complicated drinks for you – all you have to do is load it up and push the button for the drink you want.
You can fill it with 8 different bottles and mixes, so there's limitless options – especially if you stick to one or two forms of alcohol.
This guy isn't the only booze robot out there. There is now a cruise line that features a bar where robot arms make your drink while human servers bring it to you (soon enough the servers will be robots too!), and I can only imagine how this technology is going to start appearing in bars around the world.
The only issue – sometimes people go to a bar to interact with the bartender; to get recommendations on drinks, flirt, or unleash your problems over a glass of whiskey on the rocks. Can a robot really provide that booze connoisseur/therapist relationship actual bartenders are beloved for? I doubt it, but I think we're going to find out.
When it comes to home bars though, I am dreaming of one day owning a Monsieur.
I'm required to disclose the relationship between my site and Intel Canada, but all opinions are my own!
While I didn't travel so far this year that I needed to board a plane, I still managed to get my wanderlust fix in by taking a bunch of road trips across Ontario.
There is really nothing I love more than a good road trip. My favourite people, my favourite music, some snacks and a good vehicle are all that is required for a memorable mini-vacation on a whim. Thanks to Honda, I was able to try a handful of different cars for weekend getaways throughout 2014, and I'd love to take you through the ones I found particularly great for road tripping.
As seen above with my man, the Accord is the perfect practical car. I had the chance to test it out in Niagara, and you can read more about that trip and how much I loved the car over on Dose.
While I didn't use the Acura for a Bonnaroo trip, I couldn't help but think that it would be absolutely perfect for that situation when I was testing it out. Back when my friends and I drove down to Tennessee for the festival, we were in a small economy rental – and with all our stuff packed in – it was not particularly comfortable. Not to mention that the heat in Tennessee in June is unbearable, so sitting in the vehicle for shade/sleep (since the tent was unbearably hot) was something we all needed to take turns doing.
The Acura is an incredible vehicle for a variety of reasons, but its spaciousness would definitely come in handy in such a situation. You can take the seats down for extra room should you need to sleep in it. Plus, the dvd player setup in the back will keep your friends entertained over the very long drive, and the navigation system will make sure you don't get lost trying to find the farm. And the surround sound audio and SiriusXM mean you'll be able to sing your heart out the whole drive down.
I was able to test out the Civic on my way to go parasailing for the first time in Grand Bend. This short trip might be the highlight of my travels in 2014 because not only had I never parasailed before, but I had never been to the adorable beach town that is Grand Bend before. Parasailing is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Ziplining in Victoria is probably the only thing I can compare it to. But somehow parasailing was scarier, even though it only lasted about five minutes. I probably shouldn't have googled parasailing accidents before I went – but knowing something has a risk is half the fun of doing it, right? It was truly one of the most spectacular views I've ever witnessed in my life. I wish Grand Bend was closer, as I would be there every weekend in the summer if I could.
The Civic might be my favourite car of them all. If I was going to buy a car today, I'd probably be going with a Honda Civic. It is beautifully made, gorgeous to look at, great on gas, and has all the incredible features I've come to expect from Honda – push start, rear camera, voice navigation, incredible audio, lane watch, and I don't even have to fish through my purse to find the keys – it detects them and unlocks automatically when I approach.
I love this car.
I had a chance to try out the Fit while participating in my first drumming lesson. Yes, I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of learning to drum! Well, maybe not fulfilled, but I almost learned how to play Sweet Home Alabama well enough that I wasn't completely ruining the song. See me awkwardly taking my first few hits in the video above!
The Fit is cool for a a few reasons – one being it's price point is super reasonable for a new car. Another being that you can literally fit almost anything in it, despite it being a small car. As you saw, we were able to fit a bass drum in it – which I wasn't even expecting would actually work. You can use it as a 4 seat when you want to grab your friends for an impromptu trip to Montreal, or as a 2 seater when you want to pack your life in the car and see where the road takes you.
The Accord Hybrid has everything I already loved about the Accord, but is also extremely efficient on gas – I spent a total of $30 over 4 days of heavy highway driving, compared to the $60 to $80+ I would usually spend on much less driving.
If everyone that drives would be able to switch to a Hybrid, the world would be a cleaner place, and people would suffer less rage from exorbitant gas prices. The only thing better than a Hybrid is the electric car – and I hear Honda is working on some models as we speak.
I can't wait.
On another note, Honda is doing something truly important this holiday season. Help them donate $20,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation by donating. For every dollar you contribute – they contribute another dollar. It's the time of year to give, and this is a great way to make your contribution go twice as far.
There's no doubt I'm what you might call a late shopper. While I usually know what I want to give someone far ahead of time, I tend to wait until the last minute to actually do the shopping or creating involved. Admittedly I'm a fan of working under pressure, but doing that during the holidays is a special kind of nightmare.
Pressure is great on my own while working on something in my home, but as soon as I have to deal with legions of other people invading my personal space to get their hands on the exact item I'm looking at, I get a little crazy. Introverts should always shop from home.
With Christmas just over two weeks away, if you (like me) haven't started shopping yet, I have a few suggestions on what to get that person in your life who is obsessed with the convenience modern technology gives to our everyday lives.
I love this item because it allows your badass turntable speaker setup to also be used to play music wirelessly from your phone or computer. When you just want to blast that new Beyonce track you don't own on vinyl, this is an awesome option to have. It allows you to ditch the wireless speaker and go straight to your super awesome, super expensive speakers.
Did I mention how much I love convenience? Controlling my television through my phone has been one of the simple pleasures of my life, and being able to do the same with my lighting would be a joy. If you too want to make your phone the most useful item you own, this is a nice item to have.
This makes the cut because, living in a very old apartment in Canada means I deal with two things year round – it's either too hot, or too cold. It would be amazing to have one item that supplements the heat in the winter, and helps cool in the summer. I currently have a space heater and three fans that take up space in my small apartment – this could replace them all. Living in a big city means you're not exactly rolling in extra storage space – for that reason, this is a great gift.
The one complaint I hear from literally all my friends is that their phone's battery dies far too soon. Many of us use it so frequently that it burns out before we can get to the end of the night, sadly missing out on so many great instagram opportunities. This case from Mobile Fun has saved me from experiencing that feeling since I encased my phone in it way back in August. Bonus, as I have the Samsung Galaxy S5, which is super lightweight compared to my previous S3, and the case added the bulk I needed to stop accidentally dropping it all the time!
While printing almost seems outdated and wasteful in this world of the cloud, printing is always a nice option to have. Being a writer, I am constantly printing and signing contracts, and I always seem to forget to remove the printer cord from my laptop before walking away with it – therefore taking the printer with me on a journey to its smashed up death on the floor. It's definitely time for a wireless printer, and this one that looks stylish + prints my photos with frame-worthy clarity is an extra bonus.
I was given one of these to try out back when Google launched their music streaming service back in May, and I've been in love with it ever since. Previously I had been attaching an HDMI cord to my laptop to project movie and tv show streams onto my TV, now I just control it all wirelessly through my phone – so much easier! The only downfall is that it doesn't work on uhh, less than legal streams you might find on certain websites – but it's perfect for Netflix, CraveTV, YouTube and even for music – it seamlessly connects to Rdio and Songza so I can blast a playlist through my TV.
While you all know how much I love my ASUS Transformer – and I definitely recommend it as a gift for your coffee shop loving friends this holiday season – if you're looking to really impress someone this season, the Surface Pro 3 is an even more substantial offer. I watched my artist boyfriend create a drawing on it in no time with ease. That's not something any old tablet can do. For the creative person in your life, the Surface Pro 3 is a winner. You can also check out Intel's guide to the perfect tablet for anyone in your life.
I had the chance to use a GoPro back when I was sent to Victoria BC for Rock The Shores. To say I've wanted one ever since would be an understatement. The ability to capture high quality video in a camera that small, and that waterproof and durable, is a major win. The travel and adventure lover on your list wants this, guaranteed.
As mentioned above, temperature control in my very old building is non-existent. There is no built in AC in my apartment, so every time May comes around, my top floor 1 bedroom is a boiling overheated mess. The crappy $75 window AC I bought the first summer I moved in over 6 years ago has most definitely seen its last days, and this 'smart' AC looks magical with all its settings and controls! Of course, it's a present that won't get to be used until the warmer months come, but it's something people living in Toronto tend to rely on once the sun comes back – so they will still be grateful for it.
This post was sponsored by Intel Canada. While the tablet was gifted to me for review, all opinions and product recommendations are my own!
Just in time for Christmas, you have the chance to win a brand new Samsung Galaxy Alpha from Virgin Mobile.
As you may know, I am very loyal to the Samsung brand, and have been ever since the Galaxy S III gave me a smartphone alternative to the iPhone that actually compared (and surpassed considering the price difference). Now that I'm on the S5, I still think it's the greatest.
Also great is paying $45 a month for unlimited text, talk and data – the big three can never compete with that .
While I haven't had the chance to try the Alpha yet, I've heard nothing but good things, and I have no reason to doubt it isn't as great (or better) than my S5. I am definitely jealous of whoever wins this one! I would love to try it.
Anyhow – the cool part about this phone is that, when you purchase it from Virgin, $5 from every sale goes to their RE*Generation foundation, which helps at-risk and homeless youth find jobs.
Speaking of RE*Generation, if you're not in need of a new smartphone but still want to help a great cause (and see some awesome tunes), Dan Mangan + Blacksmith will be playing the Mod Club on Monday December 15th in support of it. Tickets are $20 and on sale now, and all proceeds go directly to the cause.
You get to see one of Canada's finest live performers bring his best collaboration to date to the stage while helping kids find much desired employment – if that isn't a win, I don't know what is.
Anyhow, if you do want a chance at the phone, you have a few options to enter. Each option counts for one entry.
1) Sign up for the upcoming (look out for TTRO's relaunch in 2015) weekly newsletter, which will round up the week's posts so you don't miss things like this in the future:
2) Like TTRO on Facebook and comment on the status update about this giveaway.
3) Follow me on Twitter, and tweet exactly this ONCE ONLY, no spamming please: "Hey @Lisa_TTRO I want to win a Samsung Galaxy Alpha for Christmas http://wp.me/pWBir-2RT #regeneration."
4) Follow me on Instagram, and heart the photo about this giveaway when it is posted.
Keep in mind that this is a Virgin Mobile Canada phone, so that limits it to Canadians (or people who know a Canadian and want to surprise them with this for Christmas) only.
That's it! You have until December 17th at midnight to enter, and the winner will be contacted the next day via the email they used to subcribe to the newsletter – so make sure that's the one you do if you only do one of the above 4 things.
Good luck!
The freelance life is one that seems envious.
In fact, I envied it so much during times I was working fulltime in an office, that I made it my mission to one day be able to do it fulltime. Now that I have reached that point, I can tell you it comes with many downfalls (lack of benefits, lack of reliable income, trying to get paid on time, saving for tax time, needing finance and business skills you never learned at your Arts College), but it also comes with many perks.
Being able to work wherever you want – whenever you want – is the part that immediately appealed to me most. Being chained to a desk or an office for 8+ hours a day is not, and has never been, an enjoyable concept to me. No matter how many times I've tried to do it.
I like being able to wake up at 11am, stay pantsless til 2pm, grab a coffee and lunch by 2:30, and stay up til 3 or 4am on a weeknight. I like not having to worry about having an office wardrobe.
In the words of Bukowski:
How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?
That perfectly summarizes my feelings on that whole archaic idea of what work should look like.
If you are similarly inclined to have control over your day, keep your own schedule, and answer only to yourself, you might be the kind of person who prefers freelancing to a regular job.
Being a night owl and an introvert, it definitely suits my natural habits much more than the forced fake smiles and douchey coworkers you sometimes have to deal with in the confines of working for someone else.
In order to freelance successfully, you do need a few tools.
I am nothing without my Samsung Galaxy S5. I have an external battery case for it so it never dies. I am perpetually checking email and tweeting no matter where I am or what time of day it is.
A fast, reliable internet connection. Unless you want to only work at cafe's and libraries, you'll want a good strong internet connection at home because most freelance jobs require a ton of online time.
A comfortable workspace. That might be Starbucks or the library, but I generally prefer the comfort of my bed, my couch, or my little office area in my room. Surround this space with things that inspire you to work. I have a poster from Copyblogger about writing all day every day printed out above m desk, as well as a Tim Gunn talking bobble head that spits out his best motivating quotes with the push of a button. It's sometimes all I need to get writing.
Coffee. Or caffeine in some form you enjoy it. Green tea. Chocolate. Coke. Green juice if you're a health nut. Whatever works for you to keep you alert and get your day going.
Most importantly though, is a computer. Many are MAC loyal but for freelance writers, paying that much is outrageous. Unless you're willing to live with your parents all through your 20s – it's not happening. And that's okay because a writer won't be editing videos or doing anything a MAC is famous for.
My 17″ Samsung laptop is my main writing and working tool when at home, but when I am out and about – back home, at my boyfriends house, at a client's office, at Starbucks – I am always with my ASUS Transformer tablet.
As I've mentioned before, it has become my right hand when I'm not home, and I am infinitely more productive (and less cranky, because it's not heavy) with it in my life. A tablet you can type comfortably on is one of the most helpful tools of freelance life, if you ask me (she says as she writes this post on her ASUS at a Starbucks).
I'm required to disclose the relationship between my site and Intel Canada, but all opinions stated above are my own!

About Mountain Biking
While mountain biking may look similar to cycling, fans of the sport will tell you it's anything but! Mountain biking means taking your bike off-road, sometimes trekking far into the wilderness to experience some of the toughest challenges nature has to offer. There is a variety of disciplines within mountain biking, including cross-country, trail riding, dirt jumping, downhill and freeriding - and the UK has a fantastic selection of off-road trails, parks, forestlands and rocky slopes to cater to everybody's tastes.
Mountain biking can be undertaken solo or in groups, and often friends who share the passion get together to embark on long mountain biking holidays where they can really get acquainted with Britain's best spots. With YHA's large selection of hostels and lodges all around the country, many of which are equipped with cycle store facilities, we're often the natural choice for low-cost, comfy accommodation - and many an exhausted mountain biker has been only too happy to come back to the hostel for a bit of food and relaxation at the end of a hard day on the trails!
Many of our hostels are ideally situated to cater to mountain biking breaks: check into YHA Perranporth and spend a few days exploring the trail network in the beautiful Idless Woods, or get the blood pumping on the renowned Marin Trail near YHA Llanberis, which offers an unbeatable combination of challenging climbs, heart-racing descents and stunning scenery. Whether you're a mountain biking rookie looking to get some practice in, or a lifelong fan hungry for new experiences, there are YHA hostels all over England and Wales that will make the perfect base for your break.

Should heroes be able to control their symbols and likenesses?
By RazzaTazz 3 Comments
It probably passed by most people's attention yesterday, but a district court judge yesterday stated that Louboutin will likely fail in its attempt to stop other shoe makers (specifically Laurent) from painting their soles red. The red soles originated as Louboutin thought his shoes lacked flair and so painted the soles red with nail polish to give them an extra something. The opinion of the judge is that no one has strict access to specific colours especially in reference to something as generic as the sole of a shoe.
Other than being just fluffy news there are some parallels to this in comics though. The same issue was brought up in "The Dark Knight" for instance of who exactly has access to a symbol of hope such as what Batman and his symbol (the bat) portrays. The issue here lies in that most heroes are either doing their heroics for the public good, and inspiration is part of their message. What though if this inspiration takes the form of direct emulation instead of an application of the message in other areas. Does just any person have the right to put on a costume that looks like Batman and start fighting crime? Especially if they haven't dedicated their lives to this pursuit? From a legal standpoint the answer would be yes of course, unless the hero somehow copywrited their appearance (though doing so might make a secret identity unlikely.) From a moral standpoint it would be somewhat of an affront to the character themselves. Dick Grayson for instance has struggled through his publication history to come out of the shadow of Batman, at times struggling with the role of his mentor. It is therefore not something which any random individual can adopt for themselves and expect to give any real value to. The best real life manifestation of this principle are the real world superheroes that patrol Manhattan. They are of course not superpowered nor do they necessarily even fight crime, but they do so in their own names, not those of other characters.
In terms of being legally responsible though, the field of superheroics is one which is pretty much wide open. Some writers have chosen to look at this aspect of their characters. Specifically in volume three of Wonder Woman this was an issue which Gail Simone covered occasionally. One time when meeting up with Black Canary, Diana discussed with her (while they were in a toy store) about how she is depicted in toy format (with her "assets" being the second biggest of female heroes.) This might have been a mild critique of the portrayal of certain female characters (with Power Girl being implied here as the first) but it also highlights that in a legal sense that heroes really have no control over their own image, other than hoping that people don't try to make a quick dollar on it.
Unlike in real life there are not really any legal recourses which comic characters can pursue, but if a person truly is motivated by their message they will know it is not intended to be through emulation or exploitation.

I was always told; the closer your line of sight is to your barrel, the better. Can anybody tell me at what point you are compromising this theory by using a 50mm objective lens over a smaller objective lens? Is distance you are shooting a determining factor? Is versatility reduced by a larger scope. Is there a happy medium or is this whole idea flawed? If not, is it unadvisable to shim mounts to attain the closest possible distance from scope to barrel?
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks nothing is worth war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than his own personal safety is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless he is made free and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself" John Stuart Mill A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

I don't know if I either don't understand the question as you are asking it, or if I flat out don't agree with what you have been told. Any distance rifle that we build, has a slanted scope mount. These are scope mounts that have MOA built into them, so you do not have to rack your scope knobs all the way up or all the way down, depending on distance. Having said that, the front of the scope is going to be closer to the bore line of sight than the back of the scope is, right from the get go. As such you would not be sharing the same line of sight, even if you could put the scope even with the bore. This is where your ZERO comes into play. If your weapon has a scope that is 2 feet over the bore, but you are zero'd at 200 yards, you should be shooting dimes at 200 yards. Now, this is a gross exaggeration for purpose, no one is mounting a scope that far out of whack, but you should get the idea. The angle of the scope, in relation to where your round will be, at time of impact, is what is going to determine how well you shoot at that distance. If you take this axiom one step further, and are not shooting known distances, it IS going to be consistantly easier to handle "Kentucky Windage" or "SWAG" shooting than if your scope is at some super ackward angle or deviation. Using a 50mm scope is not going to be a problem as long as you get good, quality rings and a good solid base to mount it on. Once you do that, you zero the rifle for where you want to be shooting, write up a dope card, and you are field ready. Hope that helps. JD
Just like with iron sights. The longer the sight radius (Distance between the front and rear sight) make a firearm more accurate. so does mounting a scope. The lower to the bore the less room for error (or so I have been told. The most accurate way would be to look threw the bore as you fired, but as far as I know there is no such thing as see threw brass and copper. There is however transparent alum.
I ran some #'s on Line of sight. I picked 7mm Rem mag for this. 150 yard zero, 150gr Swift a-frame, 3110fps. 1.6" line of sight: .3" at 100 yards, 0 at 150, -1.5 at 200 yards. 2.5" line of sight: .1 at 100, 0 at 150, -1.1 at 200 yards. 3.5": -.2 at 100, 0 at 150, -.8 at 200. 4": -.4 at 100, 0 at 150, -.7 at 200 250 yard zero, 150gr Swift, 3110fps 1.6": 2.4" at 150, 0 at 250, -3" at 300 2.5": 2" at 150, 0 at 250, -2.8" at 300 3.5": 1.7" @ 150, 0 @ 250, -2.6 @ 300 4": 1.5 @ 150, 0 @ 250, -2.4 @ 300 yards. I did the same w/ 55gr .223 and got similar results. I also have been told the closer the scope to the bore the better. Not so sure now. If you look at the trajectory on a balistics calculater it see saws for lack of a better term at closer ranges. I never thought to use it to find the optimum scope size for a specific caliber. Very cool, great subject!!! I learned something from this that I would have sworn to be wrong before. Edit, I used the Norma ammo public calculator for this test.
I spend about 4-6 hours a day in this forum and pretty much have learned who knows what they are talking about, who doesn't and who is full of B.S.. If I were to pick who replyed to my thread, It would have been the three of you who have already done so. THANKS MUCH !! Although there some countradictions in your replys, it seems that they are all reasonable and true. It seems to me from those replys I can assume the higher a scope is mounted the farther apart the points the bullet crosses the line of sight would be and mid range trajectory would be farther above the line of sight. Also it seems as though having the gun straight up and down would be more critical because the angle between the LOS and bullet trajectory would be more acute. ???? Just a thought most people don't consider.
Having everyting level makes a rather big difference in long range shooting it can make a difference in distances under 500 but 500+ you have some cant and boy oh boy your gonna see it on that big ole target down range. That is why you will see Palma and F-class guys using levels on their barrels, scopes and whatnot. I doubt your going to see much of a difference in normal every day shooting with a scope that is 1.4" to 2.5" above the line of the bore. I wouldn't worry to much about that. What I would worry about is this, how well your head is positioned on the stock and how stable it is. I have seen guys that mount a scope with a 50mm objective on it and they are shooting with their chin just touching the stock. that is not anywhere near a good steady cheek weld that you should have. 1.5" is about the average measurement from your cheek to your eye so that is why it is the most referred to measurement. There are some scopes with 72mm objectives not sure why but they are out there. Now that there is one hoonkin big azz objective. If I was wanting to do night hunting and didn't want to drop $10 K on a night vision scope that Zeiss would be the one I would get. Zeiss 6-24x72 Victory Diavari 34mm Rifle Scope
dteed - I think you are basically correct, but I think this "problem" boils down to this question: How accurate is "accurate" for what you are trying to do? Because, as Tango has indicated, shooting 1,000yard "F" class is going to be different from shooting groundhogs at 300 or 500 yards. CAN'T in either your rifle or your scope, or both, is going to cause MUCH more havoc on you and your targets over the difference of 1" or 2" scope height above the bore. For example, when we mount ANY scope, whether it's a $100 scope or a $3000 one, we have a right angle piece of 90 degree plastic that slips into the bolt rails of the action. On the perpendicular piece, we have a dead nuts center line that runs up the middle of the plastic. When you have the scope mounted in it's rings, but before you tighten it down, you look backwards through the scope ( with it on the lowest possible setting ) and align the verticle axis of the scope exactly over the top of the line in the plastic. This aligns the scope 90 degrees to the bolt rails. Then you tighten the scope down and make sure it doesn't change. This alone can make a MAJOR difference in groups where rifles' scopes had been mounted by eyesight. I don't think, unless you are trying to shoot dime size groups at 800 yards or greater distances, that you are going to really see a drastic difference in a scope height choice if you do your part. When all else fails, contact the maker of your scope, explain your application, and see what they say. Good luck! JD
Tango, I've seen the "cast" shooting glove, bore levels and such on the firing line. I do agree that proper cheek wield is critical. I did this test on 7mm Rem Mag because it is my long range hunter. I have target rifles, but the same principals don't apply as they are set for specific distances or a set of distances. Hunting can be from 20 yards to 450 yards. I picked a 2-10x38mm Weaver for the task. It gives me 0..450 yards. Set w/ a 250 yard zero it does give me a 0..300 yard kill zone w/ 140.. 160gr loads. Quality of the glass is also a major factor. I do believe that the reason the variable scope was introduced was because cheaper/ inferior glass was used. I have a few German Military scopes that are 4x and incredable at light gathering. The Ajack 4x90 is a great example of a true quality optic. You can see the reticule in complete darkness.
I really am not having a a problem with Line of sight but thought it may be educational and answer a few questions which may not be relavent in what shooting I do. but it also stands to reason that understanding in depth the not so simple principles of balistics could help. I also think it is an interesting discussion with relatively knowledgeable people. I come here to discuss interests that most in this forum, to one degree or another share with me.
Good topic.

Brookfield students learn about empathy, bullying through Climb Theatre interplay
Relating to what others are feeling is essential, local educators say
As stories about bullying in schools, on school buses and on playgrounds circulate nationwide, a Minnesota-based theater teamed up with two Elmbrook schools to teach young children ways to prevent it from happening.
Climb Theatre presented 40-minute empathy interplays for all of the students at Brookfield and Burleigh elementary schools last week, meant to show students what it's like to be on the receiving end of bullying.
Climb's artists write, produce and present plays in the upper Midwest on topics like bullying, self-control, respect, friendship, acceptance of differences, methamphetamine-use prevention and the environment. It has provided programming to schools for 38 years.
"If you can empathize with a victim, you are less likely to do it or allow it to happen around you," Lauren Diesch, outreach conductor for Climb Theatre said.
Feeling for the victim
A show for each grade level, kindergarten through fifth, was performed for students at both schools, with lessons adjusted for each age group.
"I think the students took a lot away from this," Michelle Aprahamian, program support teacher at Brookfield Elementay School, said. "They performed interactive skits and asked the students how they felt afterward. This is a proactive way to help prevent bullying issues."
Climb contacted Brookfield Elementary School, and Aprahamian scheduled plays at Burleigh Elementary School during the same week since the troupe was in town.
"There are many kinds of bullying, verbal, physical, and even cyber-bullying," she said. "It's important for students to understand what it would feel like to be in the victim's shoes."
Students practiced determining emotion from body language and tone of voice, examples of empathetic and non-empathetic behavior, and the consequences of failing to use empathy.
"Our children learned three steps of empathy: reading body language, imagine how you would feel, and to be kind," Teresa Curley, Burleigh Elementary School principal, said. "Our students are still talking about all that they learned."
Thinking it through
Examples of one of the skits had actors pointing and laughing at another character, then asking the students how they would feel and react to that situation, and what they would do to help the victim.
"It's never too early to start having discussions with kids about bullying," Aprahamian said.
Information from the National Education Association indicates that six out of 10 students witness bullying in school at least once a day, and that harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents.
