Heart Chain Punch Set
Jan 02, 2013
By S. Horton
The previous reviewer stated that this should come with instructions and to how to line everything up to get the right punch, and is right that it can be confusing, but once you get the hang of it and spend time working, gaining experience and using these punches, they work really well, and this is a great Valentine's layout punch.

Broken hearts
Feb 14, 2012
By Alexandria
This stamp comes with no instructions on how to line up the edges with the corners. I tried every which way and I could not get the corners to line up with the edges. It seems the length of the paper has to be exactly right and I am not sure what that length is. Otherwise the there is a gap between the edge hearts. Also if the space between the corners is not trimmed exactly right (whatever that is) When you go to punch the next set of hearts it cuts off the tops of the previous hearts. For what one pays for these punches, they should come with instructions. Very frustrating.

About This Program
"Off 90"... Depending on how long you've lived here, you've probably heard that phrase more times than you can count! In our region, just about everything and everyone is "off 90". So, naturally, that became the title for this series.
We take a look at our shared culture and heritage, featuring stories from around the corner, maybe up the highway, down the next main street, probably stories you haven't heard before. Some funny, some thought-provoking. Inventors and local heroes. Arts and letters. Acts of creativity and acts of charity. Saints and scoundrels of local history. Seniors and scouts. Poets and parks. Past and present.
You'll find it all—and more—Off 90.

Please Help! PRSDC Needs You!
Pug Rescue Of San Diego County is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. Your tax-deductible donation goes 100% to the animals and helps provide a full spectrum of care, including: vaccinations, spay & neuter, medical treatment for heartworms, broken bones, mange, Parvo, Distemper, etc. and necessities such as crates, leashes, collars, microchips, and much more.
Pug Rescue Of San Diego County spends an average of $500 per animal ($1000 for senior pugs) and often in the thousands for serious cases. Our expenditures so far this year have been staggering. We recently took in a little boy named Tobin as a stray, he went through a plethora of exams and x-rays and ultimately ended up with Femoral Head Ostomy which removed the ball at the top of the femur. This whole process and procedure and care for Tobin will total over $2000. We took in this dog without hesitation, knowing that we could give him a 2nd chance. That's what we do. We specialize in 2nd chances. We do not discriminate based on age, or health of the animal. We assume full responsibility for all the animals we rescue and make every effort to ensure they are healthy and happy and placed into safe and loving forever homes. We and our volunteers provide the time and devotion to the cause, however we desperately need your help to provide the financial resources required to accomplish this.
What Your Donation Pays For (for one dog):
This is just a few examples of our expenses. Your donation has a huge impact on what we do. Your generous support allows Pug Rescue Of San Diego County to save more pugs.
If you make a donation and would like a shout out for it we would love to feature you and your furry loved ones on our social media! Send a picture to firstname.lastname@example.com and choose between Facebook and Instagram! We Thank You from the bottom of our heart!

countertop consisting of layer of thin black and quartz on top
I would like the 8ft countertop in my bathroom to have a thin black strip around the edge (horizontally) with the quartz (beige'ish top color) on top as normal. The countertop encompasses one sink, makeup countertop and linen countertop (hamper beneath). Wondering if anyone has seen this done? I have some ideas - perhaps use an Ikea Numerar walnut countertop and stain it black and then put quartz on top of that??
Reason I want this is that the bathroom is going to be boring with beige everywhere (tile to the ceiling) though there will be porcelain taupe plank on the floor. I want to have a few accents of black. My hope is to have two floating black shelves over the toilet and also a picture on the wall opposite the countertop that will have a narrow black frame. I've always liked black accents contrasted against a predominantly pale color scheme.
Guess my idea about the black stripe or strip for the countertop (in addition to the quartz) seems a bit odd. I'm still interested but I have thought of something better because it is simpler and can be removed if I don't like it. My better idea is to use black cabinet pulls on the vanity drawers to get the black accent I want that will mesh with the black picture frames and two black floating shelves over the toilet. I'm a happy camper - nice to have a plan that is simple ... stay tuned.

I also notice that the Economist removed the screen capture of the service they had at the top of the page. ;)
Screen capture removed as there was a confusion over whether the pictured account should be shown publicly. Sorry.
me too, it got removed. Looks good without it.
Good article. I downloaded the software and it installed first time with no problems.
I was able to send a military-grade super-secret text to my wife, who was sitting just across the room. I can't tell you what it said, because then I would have to kill you.
Someone at Wickr failed to get the irony of the screen-shot above. If the message was supposed to self-destruct in 10 seconds, then why the hell am I still staring at it?
Well, it does demonstrate that, as the article mentions, screen capture is still possible if you know what you are doing.
Still, that requires both the cooperation of the receiver and a bit of technical sophistication. Getting both is a lot harder than just hacking into (or getting a warrant to look at) a regular e-mail or other account.
Right, you still need to be able to read, view, or hear something for it to be useful, and that's an exploitable vector. However, the true point of Wickr is that both parties can be sure that a third party can't intercept communications, nor, even with the password literally in hand, cannot retrieve messages that have expired.
If I'm a dissident or even involved in a court case in which I want to have privileged communications, having a message that has a short time span protects both sides of the transaction from later forensics.
Are you kidding? Screenshot capability does not require advanced technical know how. It's two buttons and I know 5 year olds who have worked it out for themselves...
And I know adults who still don't know how to work a DVR, but have their children or (more likely) grandchildren do it for them. It is really hard to believe how much difference it makes whether you grew up around computers, or whether they are something that only appeared in your life after you were 30 -- especially if you expected that, once you left school and got your first job, you wouldn't have to learn anything really new the rest of your life. The latter is a mindset that can be almost impossible to grasp for some of us (especially in the IT industry, where things have been changing constantly our who careers), but it certainyl does exist.

Zhou Enlai: The Last Perfect Revolutionary : a Biography
PublicAffairs, 2007 - Biography & Autobiography - 345 pages
Zhou Enlai, the premier of the People's Republic of China from 1949 until his death in 1976, is the last Communist political leader to be revered by the Chinese people. He is considered "a modern saint" who offered protection to his people during the Cultural Revolution; an admirable figure in an otherwise traumatic and bloody era. Works about Zhou in China are heavily censored, and every hint of criticism is removed—so when Gao Wenqian first published this groundbreaking, provocative biography in Hong Kong, it was immediately banned in the People's Republic.
Using classified documents spirited out of China, Gao Wenqian offers an objective human portrait of the real Zhou, a man who lived his life at the heart of Chinese politics for fifty years, who survived both the Long March and the Cultural Revolution not thanks to ideological or personal purity, but because he was artful, crafty, and politically supple. He may have had the looks of a matinee idol, and Nixon may have called him "the greatest statesman of our era," but Zhou's greatest gift was to survive, at almost any price, thanks to his acute understanding of where political power resided at any one time.

The industry collective is kind of like a thinking entity. It sees new technology and new media channels and it's scared. It wants everything to stay the same--stay stable.

They have gone way to far, far to long.
They do. They make exactly what the job market says they should be making. If stocking were a more difficult skill, the supply of capable stockers would go down and they'd make more. If more stores open and they need more stockers than are available, they'd make more. Until one of those things happen, the law of supply and demand says they won't make more.
You can argue all day about what constitutes a "good" wage, but supply and demand is busy setting the true fair value. Complaining about that is like complaining about gravity - say what you will but the law still applies to you.

A question worth scrutiny is who promoted the idea of a Turkish model to be followed by Arab Spring countries? Was it Western diplomats yearning to see coexistence between Islam and democracy in the Middle East and wishing that Arab Islamists could learn lessons from the Turkish experience and spare themselves the time and effort wasted in searching for another alternative?In any case, Arab Islamists found an excellent cover for their insatiable lust for power, welcoming the term and using it as a catapult.In 1924, a prominent military commander named Mustafa Kemal Ataturk abolished the Ottoman Sultanate, relieving it of a heavy legacy and commitments to its southern Arab neighbors. Ataturk laid the foundation for a modern Turkey, one based on a national, rather than Islamic identity.His reform movement included unification of education, adoption of the new Turkish alphabet, introduction of penal law and civil law modeled after European codes, banning religious costumes and finally including the principle of laïcité (secularism) in the constitution. Four year later, Hassan al-Banna, an Egyptian Islamic scholar, founded the Muslim Brotherhood movement.The collapse of the Ottoman Empire left a political and cultural vacuum in the Arab World – at a time where Pan Arabism was not yet fully crystallized. Banna found in Islam an ideology solid and influential enough to unite Muslims across the globe against Western influences.This reflects the difference between a society looking forward to Europe and quoting its experience within a national framework and on the other hand a society reviving its own historic roots and looking forward to exporting its model to the rest of the Muslim Umma.HAVING SAID that, one has to understand that Turkey relies on a long legacy of secularism, fairly democratic institutions and pluralistic political system. AKP practices politics in a secular democratic climate, albeit with its own Islamic reference.AKP reached power after a history of equivocal trials and errors of its predecessors, the National Order Party and National Salvation Party, both of which were banned for violating the country's secularity.AKP leaders deeply understand that secularism is the shield that protects nations against religious fanaticism and yet allows each and every individual to practice his beliefs freely.In that sense AKP is surely more secular than any Arab party that deems itself secular. It is ironic to find Egyptian secular parties defending the second article of the constitution that stipulates that principles of Sharia are the major source for legislation.Arab secularists are playing the religion card not only to gain support of electoral bases but also to avoid criticism.In contrast, the Muslim Brotherhood had emerged in a different socio-political framework. Since its inception, it succeeded in immunizing itself against the government's systematic attacks. The brotherhood brilliantly managed to survive underground and concealed itself from security harassment for 80 years. The brotherhood is a self-centric movement which developed in an exclusionist environment.Thus, the exclusionist attitude is what characterizes their thinking. Any opponent is deemed an adversary who must be silenced. That explains the rage expressed at Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement urging Islamists to draft a secular constitution during his visit to Cairo in September, 2011. It even explains their monopoly over all the authorities in Cairo.The brotherhood includes within its broad Islamic ideology a variety of trends ranging from jihadism to peaceful involvement in democracy. However, it is worth noting that the brotherhood is the mother organization of almost all jihadi movements.Among members of the Muslim Brotherhood who sought to reach power through violence were those who murdered Egyptian prime minister "El-Nokrashy Pasha" (1948), fired shots at Gamal Abdel Nasser (1954), killed Egyptian intellectual "Farag Foda" and attempted to kill Egyptian Nobel Laureate Naguib Mahfouz (1993).In 2005, Egyptian and international newspapers published photos of a military-style parade held by students from the brotherhood on Al- Azhar University campus.There is no evidence whatsoever that the Brotherhood will remain committed to democracy or that this violent trend has disappeared.As for the military hegemony, some analysts alleged that the Egyptian army could be the guarantor of the civilian state in case it was threatened by the Islamists. However, the reality is the other way around. On August 12, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi carried out his coup against the army, dismissing its generals and concentrating all power in his hands.The same cannot be said of the AKP's move to amend the constitution and render the army subject to the civilian government, the aim of which was ultimately to gain more ground with their European counterparts, who for so long had criticized the army's supremacy. Bear in mind that the founding principles of the Turkish constitution (secularism, democracy, equality before the law) are immovable, while the Egyptian constitution is being tailored to suit the needs of the brotherhood.Even in the social context, they stand at odds. The representation of women in the Turkish parliament is 14.3 percent. AKP's share is 46 female MPs. In Egypt, representation of women in the dissolved parliament stood at 2%. The share of the brotherhood is four MPs.What about the AKP attempt to lift the ban on head scarves? AKP is addressing the issue from human rights perspective, not a religious one. It would be regarded as a moderation of the extreme anti-religious secularism. On the other hand, one should wonder if the brotherhood would ever field a female candidate who doesn't cover her hair.Another important element which is occasionally overlooked is the Salafi factor. In Egypt and Tunisia , FJP and Ennahda represent the center- right while Salafis stand at the far right. Thus, FJP and Ennahda will lean from time to time to the far right and will have to offer concessions to secure popularity among the Salafis. Such an element is absent from the Turkish political equation.The AKP, en route to power, presented a tangible economic program and vowed to finalize the democratic transition. The brotherhood ascendancy is surrounded by question marks regarding electoral bribes, manipulation of religion, receipt of external funds, negative campaigning against liberals, exploitation of illiteracy and a fake renaissance project.Last but not least, let's not forget that the AKP is under fierce criticism over violations of freedom of expression, as hundreds of activists and journalists have been imprisoned.Turkey ranks 148 out of 178 on the press freedom index. The AKP currently appoints its loyal judges to the supreme court. It is crystal clear that the AKP is getting increasingly authoritarian, so why is it a model to be followed?The author is an Egyptian diplomat and a member of the Egyptian delegation to the Arab League as well as a master's student in anthropology at Cairo University.

eye drainge from dog.
i have taken my havanese to the vet 2x for this. 1st time was in early june and then last week. the vet swears it's allergy. i've had him fot 2 1/2 years and he has never had any eye drainage till this year. it stains his hair below his eyes and builds up big gobs of brown matter.last week the vet gave him a shot which he said would take care of it,but 5 days later i don't see much improvement.any ideas? ralfsmom
I have a 13 year old chihuahua mix that has had the same problem. I give her 50 mg of vitamin c each morning and it takes care of it. There is no rda for vitamin c in dogs. They supposedly produce it in their liver; maybe some dogs don't produce enough. The only caution I'd give - a little is enough - so don't give too much or more than is reasonable (Don't mega dose).

Agassi ready for one final run
After much speculation, Andre Agassi announced the U.S. Open would be his last tournament. As for Wimbledon, Brad Gilbert writes that announcing his decision now can only help Agassi's focus on the court.
WIMBLEDON, England -- I talked with Andre the last couple of days and you knew this announcement was possible, but I didn't know it was going to happen today -- that this is going to be his last Wimbledon and that the U.S. Open would be his last tournament. It's a sad day, but I'm happy for him that he chose to announce it here, the site of his first Grand Slam title.
And I was glad I could be there when he made the announcement.
People saw Andre at 16 and 17 years old and watched him grow up. Today sounded like a burden has been lifted and he seems truly excited to play tennis. He's done everything and then some the last 22 years. I spent eight years as his coach from 1994-2002, and I love this game but Andre made it even more enjoyable. My eight years with him were incredible and I'm thankful for the time I had with him.
As for Wimbledon this week, I'd like to see nothing more than for him to go out and have a good run and show he can still compete. If he didn't think he could compete at this level he wouldn't be here. His body feels well and a burden has been lifted.
"I'm here declaring myself ready to play, and if I can get through a match or two and get my teeth in this event, I hope to cause problems for the big guys," Agassi said. "That's what I intend to do."
One of those "big guys" is No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal, who Agassi would meet if both players win their first two matches. I would love nothing more than to see Agassi and Nadal play. It's almost like a changing of the guard.
And if anyone can pull of a Houdini act here, it's Andre.

The folks at A&E have apparently enjoyed their stay at the Bates Motel, so much so as to solidify a second visit less than a month after the thriller's series premiere. The program has earned a second season over at the cable network, as announced on Monday in an A&E press release (via Deadline):
"A&E Network has picked up a second season of the acclaimed drama series, 'Bates Motel' starring Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore from executive producers Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin, it was announced today by Bob DeBitetto, President and General Manager of A&E Network and BIO Channel. The premiere of 'Bates Motel' garnered 4.5 million total viewers and 2.5 million adults 25-54 and 18-49, based on Live+7 viewership, making it the most-watched original drama debut in the key demos in the network's history."
Based loosely on the characters and themes of Alfred Hitchcock's classic Psycho, the Bates Motel program follows widow and motel manager Norma Bates (Farmiga) and her son Norman (Highmore) as their toils take them through a ganglion of tragic and eerie stories.
Bates Motel presently airs Monday nights on A&E; 10 new episodes of the series have been ordered for 2014.

Dierks Bentley Debuts All-Star Cover Band During CRS [Watch]
Dierks Bentley assembled a group of top-notch country performers to kick off the 2015 Country Radio Seminar, the yearly gathering of radio executives and journalists in Nashville.
Dierks Bentley assembled a group of top-notch country performers to kick off the 2015 Country Radio Seminar, the yearly gathering of radio executives and journalists in Nashville.
Randy Houser's single "Like a Cowboy" is a big, Western ballad tucked between amped-up country-rock or pop songs. It stands out like rhinestones on a cowboy standing outside the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the singer is comfortable with that. In fact, few may be more comfortable with that.
Luke Bryan is ready to get dirty. The superstar announced the Kick the Dust Up Tour on Wednesday morning. He is set to hit the road on May 8, and he's bringing along some very popular opening acts.
Randy Houser looks forward to taking his 2-year-old son home to Mississippi this Christmas. It's a chance to show West how Daddy celebrated when he was growing up. Things were simpler then, mostly out of necessity.
Very few performers can take a stage in front of nearly 20,000 rowdy country fans and deliver a stirring, satisfying, hour-long acoustic performance. Randy Houser did just that at the Taste of Country Music Festival on Saturday night, after his bus broke down leaving his crew unable to get his gear to Hunter Mountain.
Randy Houser and wife Jessa Lee Yantz are heading toward divorce. The couple have been married since September 2011 and have a son together.
Randy Houser explores late night young love in his 'Goodnight Kiss' video, which is the finale in a trilogy of videos that follow the story of a young, attractive couple who appear truly and madly in love.
I had trouble sleeping last night because I was so excited about today's announcement of the acts joining Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Brantley Gilbert at the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival. If you thought the 2013 TOC Fest was amazing, wait until you see who's been added so far to the 2014 TOC Fest!
We're beyond excited to announce that Randy Houser, Thompson Square, Craig Morgan, Thomas Rhett, Tyler Farr, Charlie Worsham, Chase Rice, Blackjack Billy and Gwen Sebastian have been added to the lineup for the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival! They join already-announced Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Brantley Gilbert for the second annual country festival at Hunter Mountain. Oh, and there's still more lineup surprises on the way!
