About Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
Google Cloud Storage is useful for storing and serving large files. Additionally, Cloud Storage offers the use of access control lists (ACLs), and the ability to resume upload operations if they're interrupted, and many other features. (The GCS client library makes use of this resume capability automatically for your app, providing you with a robust way to stream data into GCS.)
About the Google Cloud Storage (GCS) client library
The GCS client library lets your application read files from and write files to buckets in Google Cloud Storage (GCS). This library supports reading and writing large amounts of data to GCS, with internal error handling and retries, so you don't have to write your own code to do this. Moreover, it provides read buffering with prefetch so your app can be more efficient. The client library uses HTTPS when reading and writing to Google Cloud Storage so your data is encrypted during transfer.
The GCS client library provides the following functionality:
- An
openmethod that returns a file-like buffer on which you can invoke standard Python file operations for reading and writing.
listbucketmethod for listing the contents of a GCS bucket.
statmethod for obtaining metadata about a specific file.
deletemethod for deleting files from GCS.
Where to download the GCS client library
For download instructions and distribution contents, see the downloads page.
What you need to do to use the GCS client library
There are two different options to choose from:
- An application can use the default GCS bucket, which provides an already configured bucket with free quota.
- If you cannot use or don't want to use the default GCS bucket, you must first activate a Cloud project for GCS as described on the activation page.
Alternative methods for accessing Google Cloud Storage
The GCS client library provides a way to read from and write to Google Cloud Storage that is closely integrated with Google App Engine, enabling App Engine apps to create objects in GCS and serve them from GCS.
However, there are other ways to access GCS from App Engine besides using the GCS client library. You can use any of these methods as well:
Blobstore API
You can use the Blobstore API to upload objects to and serve objects from GCS using the BlobStore API. You'll need to use the create_gs_key() function to create a blob key representing the GCS object. This approach is useful for uploading files from a web page. When the Blobstore API is used together with the Images API, you get a powerful way to serve images, because you can serve images directly from GCS, bypassing the App Engine app, which saves on instance hour costs.
You can use the Cloud Storage REST API directly to read and write data to GCS. The GCS client library actually uses the Cloud Storage REST API. However, the GCS REST API lacks the App Engine optimizations already done for you by the GCS client library, so you may be doing unnecessary work if you use the GCS REST API directly. If the GCS client library lacks some feature you need, and the REST API supplies that feature, using the REST API may be a good option.Note: The App Engine development server provides support for the GCS Client; it does not currently provide support for the GCS REST API.
Cloud Storage Viewer
If you need to upload objects quickly and don't mind a manual process, you can use the Cloud Storage Viewer on your project, which is accessible by clicking on Cloud Storage once your project is open in the Google Developers Console.
Key concepts of Google Cloud Storage
For complete details on GCS, incuding a complete description of concepts, you need to refer to the GCS documentation. The following brief synopsis of some GCS features impacting the GCS client library are provided as a convenience.
Buckets, objects, and ACLs
The storage location you read files from and write files to is a GCS bucket. GCS client library calls always specify the bucket being used. Your project can access multiple buckets. Notice that there are no client library calls currently for creating GCS buckets, so you need to create these upfront by clicking on Cloud Storage once your project is open in the Google Developers Console. Alternatively, you can use the gsutil tool provided by GCS.
Access to the buckets and to the objects contained in them is controlled by an access control list (ACL). Your Google Cloud project and your App Engine app are added to the ACL permitting bucket access during activation. The ACL governing bucket access is distinct from the potentially many ACLs governing the objects in that bucket. Thus, your app has read and write privileges to the bucket(s) it is activated for, but it only has full rights to the objects it creates in the bucket. Your app's access to objects created by other apps or persons is limited to the rights given your app by the objects' creator.
If an object is created in the bucket without an ACL explicitly defined for it, it uses whatever default object ACL has been assigned to the bucket by the bucket owner. If the bucket owner has not specified a default object ACL, the object default is
public-read, which means that anyone allowed bucket access can read the object.
ACLs and the GCS Client LibraryAn app using the GCS client library cannot change the bucket ACL, but it can specify an ACL that controls access to the objects it creates. The available ACL settings are described under documentation for the open method .
Modifying GCS objects
Once you have created an object in a bucket, it cannot be modified (no appending). To modify an object in a bucket, you need to overwrite the object with a new object of the same name that contains your desired changes.
GCS and "subdirectories"
Google Cloud Storage documentation refers to "subdirectories" and the GCS client library allows you to supply subdirectory delimiters when you create an object. However, GCS does not actually store the objects into any real subdirectory. Instead, the subdirectories are simply part of the object filename. For example, if I have a bucket my_bucket and store the file
somewhere/over/the/rainbow.mp3, the file
rainbow.mp3 is not really stored in the subdirectory
somewhere/over/the/. It is actually a file named
somewhere/over/the/rainbow.mp3. Understanding this is important for using
listbucket filtering.
has an optional directory emulation mode. See
for more information.
Retries and exponential backoff
The GCS client library provides a configurable mechanism for automatic request retries in event of timeout failures when accessing GCS. The same mechanism also provides exponential backoff to determine an optimal processing rate. (For a description of exponential backoff in GCS, see the Google Cloud Storage documentation on backoff.)
To change the default values for retries and backoff, you use the RetryParams class.
Using GCS client library with the development app server
You can use the client library with the development server from SDK version 1.8.1 and greater. This provides GCS emulation using the local disk.
Pricing, quotas, and limits
There are no bandwidth charges associated with making GCS client library calls to Google Cloud Storage. There are operations and storage charges, however, and if you are using the Java, Python, or PHP runtime, the calls count against your URL fetch quota, as the library in these runtimes uses the URLFetch service to interact with GCS.
If you use the default GCS bucket, you have a free quota. If you need more quota, you'll need to make your app billable so you can pay for the extra quota.
If you don't use the default GCS bucket, you'll need to sign up for GCS as described in the activation page. If you choose this, there is no free quota and any data stored at GCS is charged the usual GCS data storage fees. Cloud Storage is a pay-to-use service; you will be charged according to the Cloud Storage price sheet.
What to do next
To create, deploy, and run your app:
- Download the client library.
- Create an App Engine project and activate it for GCS.
- Optionally, if you have an existing app that uses the older Google Cloud Storage API, migrate your app.
- Go through the brief Getting Started instructions for a quick orientation in using the library.
- Upload and deploy your app to production App Engine.
- Test the app for expected behavior with GCS.

With nearly every passing day, yet another detail in last month's sensational Rolling Stone article alleging gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house collapses under the weight of scrutiny. Its author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, has retreated into strategic silence; her editor, Will Dana, having publicly disavowed the "facts" of the story, is still issuing clarifications and apologies.

The university is often said to be the first place in our society to look for the truth. Unfortunately, it is now one of the last places to find it.
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with executive editor Fred Barnes on the Rolling Stone U. Va rape story.
Two weeks ago, Rolling Stone published a bombshell piece that rocked the academic world. In the story, author Sabrina Erdely detailed a horrific crime — a gang rape at one of the fraternities at the University of Virginia that allegedly took place two years ago.
The tween fans of Justin Bieber might want most to know if the 16-year-old Canadian singing sensation is really -- and disappointingly -- dating an older woman, 18-year-old Disney star Selena Gomez. But Rolling Stone digs deep, as writer Vanessa Grigoriadis tries to discover what political philosophy might be lurking under that famous mop of hair.
Though he'll regretably be remembered most for his turn in Rolling Stone, we should not forget Gen. Stanley McChrystal's contributions to his country, the Army, and the conflict in Afghanistan.
At McChrystal's Fort McNair retirement ceremony Friday, Robert Gates said of the general, "Over the past decade, arguably no single American has inflicted more fear, more loss of freedom and more loss of life on our country's most vicious and violent enemies than Stan McChrystal."
Smell that? Smells like redemption:
In today's Wall Street Journal, Eliot A. Cohen writes:
Gen. Stanley McChrystal is a hero—a selfless, fearless and inspiring soldier. He is also something of a military genius. In Iraq, as commander of the Joint Special Operations Command from 2003-2008, he created an extraordinary military operation.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Oilers Plan To Get Tougher
by Paul on 01/19/07 at 01:15 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Robin Brownlee of the Edmonton Sun,
The Oilers made a philosophical decision last summer that they didn't need Georges Laraque, letting the baddest man on the NHL planet know he wasn't in the plans. When Big Georges took his feared fists to the Phoenix Coyotes, they wished him well and moved on.
It's a decision the Oilers have regretted since, most recently Tuesday when Minnesota meathead Derek Boogaard flattened Ales Hemsky knowing there wasn't a damn thing anybody could do about it.

Most of the luxury hotels are on Denarau island. If you want to travel to town (which is uninteresting) you will have to take a cab. I am not familiar with the Tanoa Hotel, but choose your hotel wisely and make sure the hotel has all the facilities you are looking for in a resort. From Denarau is it easy to get to other areas of the island for tours and activites.

We were doing a dessert bar and I got to experiment with lots of yummy bar cookies. As soon as I took my first bite of these key lime bars I knew they were a winner. When I made them this past week and my husband took a bite, the first word out of his mouth was , "Wow!" It was [Continue Reading…]
My Skin Care Routine
I am often asked about my skin care routine and what products I use on my skin. Taking care of my skin has become more and more important to me as I have gotten older. One of my regrets is not taking better care of my skin sooner. I wish someone had told me when I was a teenager and in my early twenties how important it was to take good care of my skin. During all of my teenage years and most of my twenties, I was one of [Continue Reading…]
Favorite Utah Restaurants
In February I spent almost two weeks in Utah. I attended two conferences, spent time with my girls and other family and ate. One of my favorite things to do with my girls is to try new restaurants and visit some of my favorites. I spent a lot time in Salt Lake City this trip because of my conferences so I got to check out some new SLC eateries. I have driven by Eva's Bakery in downtown Salt Lake many times. Each time I thought, it looks just like Paris! [Continue Reading…]

Golden Oreo Easter Egg Truffles
Back in 2009 I made 175 Oreo Truffles for a church event. I shared the recipe here. I like to call them little balls of goodness. I decided to change that recipe up a little bit for today's post and make an Easter version. Instead of the regular chocolate Oreo I used the Golden Oreos which are my personal favorite. The recipe is simple – only two ingredients, Oreos and cream cheese. The Oreos are crushed up and blended into the cream cheese. I then formed round little balls [Continue Reading…]

I loved the results and the beautiful [Continue Reading…]

When I look through Bombshell submissions, I always keep an eye out for people who do their own thing, and don't follow the status quo. Tionna from Philly pretty much fits the bill!
The blogger for WilsonFashionReport.blogspotcom says, "I would describe my style as fun..."
"… and just like my personality: very outgoing."
" And a lot of times my style depends on my mood!"
" I grew up in a very fashion forward family, so fashion has always played a big part in my life!"
" I work in the healthcare profession and do not get a chance to express my fashion creativity, so on special occasions and on my days off, I enjoy playing dress up!"
Ok! Not my style, but it works for you! And I love that Theory coat! It looks great.
See more on Instagram @Prettyoungt.
You feeling it?
Fashion Bombshell of the Day is a feature showcasing the singular style of Fashion Bomb Readers. Send your name, location, a description of your style, and 6-8 clear, unfiltered, head-to-toe pictures of 6-8 different outfits to email@example.com. Images submitted will be featured on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any of our social media platforms. Comments can be harsh, so bring your A game! Please be advised: once published, pictures will not be removed or taken down.
Not a good way to end the week:(
Oh my!
I'm overwhelmed. A small part of me is always gunning for an awesome plus-size fashion bombshell, because I'm plus-size myself…but this wasn't stellar.
Many of the outfits have too many pieces that are competing with each other.
Also, I think Tionna can be more aware of hems and lengths given her body type. I'm 5'9″ with a big chest and smaller legs, so I try to steer away from things that are made for a woman who is 5'7″ and shorter.
Beautiful, confident girl. Your smile is your best accessory…werk!
Everything is a no
haven't seen anyone from Philly look put-together, yet!
Claire, you TRIED it! Girl, BYE!
Ok, Lets just press the reset button. This is just not working!
just cuz its different doesn't mean it's post worthy
I like that she has her own flavor. I really did like the black look with the pearls but I wasn't to hot on the shoes choices. She's very pretty though
I like the one with Times Square in the background – reminds me of my holiday to NYC in 2011….
Oh yea, I vote not a bombshell.
I like the black dress and the Times Square outfit. I admire her boldness. Do you girl!
And I quote, "I always keep an eye out for people who do their own thing, and don't follow the status quo." If this is all that you can come up with, I'm certain this isn't Claire's doing, then STICK WITH THE STATUS QUO! This shat is tuuuurble!
Been having a bad day and this just made me so ragey.
Definitely looks like some meds are not being taken.
Lmao! I can't with these comments
"Been having a bad day and this just made me so ragey"
"Definitely looks like some meds are not being taken."
"STICK WITH THE STATUS QUO! This shat is tuuuurble!"
this is not philly fashion unfortunately
I think you need to repost the definition of bombshell…..I am appalled at her choices. JUST NO!!
Awful hotghettomess.com…..perfect example of money can't buy style….u spent all that money on designer things to look like this???!!!!!! Bye.
Now y'all know y'all wrong for this. Sometimes I think whoever chooses these submissions just wants to play devil's advocate. The style for me personally is a no on so many levels, but hey if she likes it, then I Love it….do you girlie!
Wow. I'm from NY, but I live in Philly and this is…well, wow. It's not typical, I can't say that. But it is pretty typical that Philly fashion is wrong. I see where she is trying to go, but it's just wrong, although there is a ton of potential. Maybe a resubmission!
its gonna be a no from me
And please tell me where she bought those shoes with the black fans so I can start a boycott against their existence.
This is a hot mess! It looks as though she threw on every possible random item she could find and ran with it. Looks very tacky, overdone, and screams I'm dying for attention. (Whether positive or negative). Now on to the constructive criticism, I think she has good pieces on their own but the styling of these pieces are atrocious. She needs to implement the rule, before leaving the house take three items off, It's ok to be creative, think outside the box, and dress in a fun/bubbly manner but this doesn't come across at that. I would love to see her refine her style a bit and re-submit in a year or so from now. Not my cup of tea at all.
Wow.. Just No
I swear this isn't a proper representation of my city.
This is an absolute No!
The pic with the LV Artsy and Theory coat was cute. Her hair looks nice.
Y'all, hell naw! This ain't philly. this is philthy! this is embarrassing!
It wasn't that bad in the beginning. It's like the more I scrolled down the worse it got. Don't give up just remember less is more sometimes. You are beautiful. Be blessed!!!!
Wow, you guys are tearing this poor girl to shreds. I have nothing nice to say about any of her outfits, especially the last picture.
Le sigh. The thing that Iook for in the FBs are simple adherence to the universally fundamental fashion rules. 1. Know your body and dress for it. 2. Wear colors and fabrics that are agreeable 3. Tailor when necessary. 4. Edit always. When these are followed I couldn`t care less if your style is goth, boho, eclectic or classic. If you follow the fundamentals people and display confidence you'll be fashion bomb status. This? No, just no.
I can appreciate her creativity and boldness, but it kind of comes off as forced and gimmicky. I'm generally all for extra accessories but I think it's a bit too much when everything is worn at once.
O – M – G!! (O__O). You know, there's such a thing as being creative and then there's just plain awful. I try not to be mean, but these look like clown costumes to me. I don't care about the random designer pieces. This lady's style is just bad (as in So not good).
Lol! I think Claire is trolling us with this post, lol!
Ummm…nice tutu!
Some people from Philly can dress, I dont know where she finds her submissions. Then again, this is "fashion Bombshell" :P.
I loved it..a little busy but fun and you..No negative ness!
Lies! We are not going in on my city. There are plenty of fashionable well dressed put together people in Philly. I refer you to past submissions kiadenise and curran j swint. There are plenty of people everywhere who are trying to find what works for them. Unfortunately sweetheart hasn't found it yet. No shade. With style education she will. How about you give her suggestions instead of negativity. Grow up! And I'm done.
I believe she should rethink her fashion sense!!!!
Pretty girl and hummm yeah… pretty girl!
Yeah T! Love your fun & bold style…
We had some Bombshells this week, but this is a no.
ummmmm…I love her furs
She is pretty. There is great plus sized fashion out there and it looks like she is kind of selling herself short by wearing costumes, instead of real clothes. She does not look like she is the serious type and her choices definitely say fun. So if that is the goal, she accomplished her goal.

A New Queueing Policy for Handoff Calls With Finite Queue Size in Wireless Cellular Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In cellular network, dropping probability of handoff calls (Pd) and blocking probability of new calls (Pb) are two important QoS measures. In this paper, focusing on the problem of how to minimize blocking probability of new calls with guaranteed dropping probability of handoff calls, a new priority queueing policy with finite queue size is proposed. And a two-steps algorithm is developed for optimizing queue size of the proposed policy and other parameters, so as to achieve the minimum value of Pb. In addition, recursive formulas are derived to deal with complexity of computing Pd and Pb.

Mouth Ulcers and Cold Sores
In Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle he describes in detail the mysterious substance called Ice 9 which with one touch to the lips will kill a person instantly. It seems possible that Vonnegut took inspiration from oral herpes because it's caught in exactly the same way – but don't panic; this virus is far from fatal. Oral herpes is the most common cause of cold sores, small, fluid filled lesions that usually develop around the mouth and often burn, itch and tingle, and mouth ulcers – which are found inside the mouth. Further ailments can sometimes include swollen gums, bad breath, dehydration, a sore throat and excess saliva. Cold sores, most commonly caused by the herpes simplex virus, are highly contagious. The cold sore causing virus is easily passed on via skin to mouth contact, such as kissing, or through a shared object like cutlery, a seemingly innocent lollipop or that pen lid you just can't resist chewing – in other words catching the virus is often unavoidable. Notoriously Liza Minnelli and David Gest publicly argued for months in the media over who passed the virus on to who (yes that really happened). But don't get to the end of this article and panic buy a crate of bleach – there's really no need to start sanitising everything before getting your mouth around it. Whilst the herpes virus admittedly does stay in your body forever its impact is normally pretty minimal with most people just having the occasional cold sore ot mouth ulcer. There are numerous non-prescription treatments available for they do decide to strike, most commonly taking the form of a cream which can be applied to the affected area and clear the sores up in a couple of days – if only Liza and David would vanish as easily. If you are getting constant mouth ulcers you should see your GP in case there is an underlying condition at work.

I'm 32 and I have 6 big ulcers in my mouth They are on tip of my tongue and cheeks I can't eat drink or clean my teeth 100% Cos they hurt so much. I have seen a oral doctor and my bloods are fine so got to wait for another appointment I have them for about 4-5 weeks then none for 1 weeks then bang mouth full again
I suffered from mouth ulcers for years! They were terrible, I would always have 1 or 2 at a time. I changed my toothpaste after reading an article on ulcers. Look for a toothpaste with SLS (sodium laurel sulphate) Within a week of using this my ulcers were gone. If I use one with SLS even for a day I get an ulcer. Sensodyne gentle whitening is the one I use, it is around £5 per tube but often on special.
Hey so I was wondering if anyone can help! I have had a soar bump on the inside of my bottom lip..just one no more than that was wonder if anyone knew what it was..I've had it for three days now and it's bugging me...thanx
I have discoloured lips. The bottom lip has a brownish/ dark patches and sometimes yellow stains rub off when I wipe my lips with a wet tissue or towels. I have tried reducing my smoking and also started applying vaseline and using clarified butter with lemon to litten the dark patches. Other than smoking, im very conscious of my health and looks and my lips have a huge knock on my confidence. All my friends and colleagues smoke but they don't have discoloured lips brown patches on their lips. How comes I have this problems and what can I do to fix this problem. Please could you be ever so kind and help me. Hope to hear from you soon Kind regards
Hi I'm 17 and I have recently had a ulcer on my top lip and I woke up to another 5 ulcers on my bottom lip have had them for 4 days now is there anything I can do to get rid of them gel don't seem to work or mouth wash but I can't eat or drink or lip my lips or even talk properly my lips are swollen so bad
Hi My four year old daughter gets one or two ulcers on her outer lips, they heal over and go away, and then more appear, this has been on going for about a year now, has anyone been threw this and know what it is? I've been to the docs but they gave me cream for her, but its not worked one time,
Hi chariseee my daughter is going through the same thing I feel for her so much ! She has a Nast one on her tongue at the moment . They just come and go I went to the dr this morning and she is having a blood test in a couple of days . Have you found out anymore about why your daughter is getting them? X
There's this Chinese herbal medicine product that works better than a lot of the creams and ointments that you buy at the chemists. It's called Watermelon Frost and its in the form of a dark green powder that you can "puff" out of, directly onto the ulcer/cold sore, through a little bottle. It is completely safe as all ingredients are natural (hence 'herbal' medicine) and it works on everyone. There is one slight problem as it doesn't taste the best when applied, a little bitter, but it definitely works. If your daughter cannot stand the taste, cover the sore with sugar crystals, any type is fine. But this will only be a temporary form of relief to stop it from hurting as much
Hi there, I wonder if anyone can give me some answers as to my mouth ulcers. Had them now for over 6 weeks, they are recurring, and even recurred after I was given a prescription - once the prescription (dissolved tablet in water and use as mouthwash) ran out, ulcers came straight back. I seem to always have at least 3, mostly on my tongue, if they go away it takes at least a week but either it will come back or more will appear. They constantly hurt, as does the back of my throat. Hurts to eat, drink, lick round my mouth to clear food and basically do anything. I don't eat chocolate or tomatoes any more as they hurt my mouth too much, as well as other foods, and maintain a good level of oral hygiene. In summary, the prescription as well as mouthwashes (standard and corsodyl), gels, sprays do not work. This is really getting me down. Any help appreciated as it's impossible to get a doctor's appointment.
Hi, have you tried to see if you are sensitive to any food, drink or toothpaste? Do you take regular tablets? Use anything regular? Make lists of what you do daily, then stop one if them for a few days and see if they get better, good luck.
Hi everyone. I get severe cold sore out break a lot in the winter months. It had got so bad I decided to take note of how many I actually got and from Christmas to beginning of May I had reached 37! Sometimes these are around my mouth on my lip and up my nose. I have been prescribed aclovoir firstly trying a small dose 5 times a day for 5 days but with it making no difference and as soon as 1 sore was nearly gone another 2 appeared the dose was finally increased to the max. The same dose as somebody would have with shingles! After the course of tablets had finished I carried on just taking 1 a day but still managed to get that dreaded tingle on my lip. So has anyone any tips on how to keep these at a low? For the last couple of months it's not been to bad maybe 5 at max. Any help or advice great fully received.
I am 17 years old and have suffered from mouth ulcers for as long as I can remember, however a year ago, they got much worse. If 1 ulcer develops, more will come, leaving up to 10 ulcers in my mouth and tonsils at once. Also when I get ulcers my tongue goes lumpy and swollen at the edges, which is also extremely painful. I have been to the doctors and they just aren't interested. I need to find a way to get rid of them because they have taken over my life. I cannot talk or barely move my mouth at the moment, which is stopping me from working and attending college.
Hi I am 21 and I have a ulcer on the bottom If my gum n between my cheek and it hurts really Bad and I need to no y they hurt so bad and what Can I do to help it go away cuz it is painful plz help
put some salt on top of it.. :)

Beach scenes
I live along the Gulf Coast which has some of the prettiest beaches I have ever seen. The sand is incredibly white. I am often asked to paint a beach scene for someone so here are a few. These are painted on small wood plaques. Takes about 20 minutes to do, so easy.
Your beaches are beautiful and thanks so much for sharing them with us. I see your gold pen came out again. I will remember to go look for one if you keep using yours. LOL It really adds to the painting project.
Frannie, have you been painting lately? We'd like to see what you've been up to also.
Very nice and I want to be there now...nothing more beautiful than the beaches in the Panhandle of FL. I lived in the area forever...until about 9 years ago. I know a couple of ladies that may still be in your painting chapter there. I've taken some classes from them when I was living in FL. Unfortunately I am in the "frozen tundra" of New England for now, but I do visit my family and friends in the area once or twice a year. I miss it soooo much. I've browsed through the forum and love your work. Thanks for sharing :)
Happy Painting,
I just might know you, Diane. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and let's check it out. I have been a member of the local painting chapter for 25 years and know quite a few of the ladies from Crestview to Mobile. Thanks for the comment. I really don't do beach scenes very often, I just do them as quickly as possible - there aren't many ways to paint the beaches so I try different colors.
paintingfool, those are just wonderful. I can hear the waves splashing. Are those from memory or patterns? If you do them that quickly they must be freehand. Would you mind if I used the scenes for a group of my friends who are wanting to paint? They have been bugging me and I've been looking for something like this to paint with them. I know they would absolutely love this.
Thanks yall.
Nance, feel free to use them, they are freehanded but it is just a matter of drawing a horizon line and maybe a little hump on the side for the sand dunes. I also find it easier to make my sea oats by turning my piece upside down and then pulling the strokes toward me. I also use the grass color first and then I add a few grass with the colors of the sky and the lightest being the color of the sand. You may not be able to see it but I usually wash a bit of pink or peach in the sky near the horizon and then some in the water and then the sand. I splatter in the sand area with the colors from the sky and grass. Have fun painting them.
Luth - that is a really neat idea but I am not a poet so I will have to look up things on the internet. Thanks for the imput.
Tomorrow I will be painting corn with friends at a chapter in Mobile. Will post it when I get back.

Prayer to Vampire.Prayer to Vampire.Prayer to Vampire. by Lorisarrd
Raise me up in darkness,
Save me from the light,
Wrest me from these nightmares,
Make me love the night.
Lift my spirits up,
Under the night sky,
Free me from life's grasp,
Let me never die.
Drain me of my blood,
Make my flesh turn cold,
And in the dark I'll hunt,
Feasting on young and old.

And solace when you need to hide.

And a protector by your side,
And when you become lost,
I shall be your trusted guide.

I know I am behind on answering comments etc. Sorry about that. This is the time of the year for me I get the most writing done, hence the flood of poems.

I was hoping to have new pics uploaded before I left but that fell through.
I will answer all comment people have posted for the new poems and thank those who have faved new pieces next week.
Please keep my wonderful Wife and Muse in your thoughts as she is having surgery this week, hence the trip.

Crimson Tide (1995)
Where would we all be without the good US of A to save the world at the drop of a hat huh. This time its the proud US Navy that gets to show us their stuff and stop those pesky Russians once again, darn pesky Russians.
A Bruckheimer/Simpson production and boy can you tell, a veritable feast for the eyes with the standard graphic novel-like adaptation imagery that looks glossy, sharp and always exciting (with the assistance of some guy called Michael Bay). All together these three guys created some memorable action flicks that really are the true meaning of blockbuster.
'Crimson Tide' is no exception, well maybe one small exception, and that's the fact this film is probably the most sensible, realistic action flick they've created. Now if you will, this is my little videogame analogy of these flicks. Most of the Bruckheimer/Simpson flicks are what I would call 'arcade' type action flicks, they're big, loud, flashy and give plenty of bang for your buck.
'Crimson Tide' is more of a 'simulator' action flick in the simple fact its more realistic with deeper tension. This of course would be down to the brilliant direction of Ba...errr Scott who knows his way around a good looking military action flick.
So in short the visuals here are crisp, smoky and sweat inducing in nice shades of green, blue and red. Life aboard a sub has been created seriously well and you really get that tight feeling as the camera peers down steel tubes and stairwells. Despite the fact almost the entire film takes place in the sub you never once lose interest as we go from action stations against Russian subs to one mutiny after another as Washington faces off against Hackman.
This of course leads me to the cast which is really superb here. Even the small fry roles played by small fry character actors are decent. The big guns naturally fire on all cylinders, Hackman is pretty intimidating as the sub Captain whilst Washington easily gains your support as the 'good guy' of sorts. Supporting roles are also solid with Gandolfini in his usual slightly nasty persona, the guy who likes to make his presence known, and Mortensen as the guy torn between his captain and friend.
Nice early build up into the film as we gather the crew and see what each are like. There isn't too much in special effects either as most of the action is simply viewing the crew and sub innards as each suspenseful situation looms, kicks off and passes. Brave move that pays off as you would expect lots of fancy CGI sequences. Finally a stirring moving bold musical score to really bring home the seriousness and heroism of the story...less you forget this is an American military thriller damn it!!
So end of the day yes you know how it will all end, pretty obvious of course. You know which man will stand tall and victorious by the end credits. You know there will be a change of character by the loser and you know there's bound to be a scene where men get trapped in the bowels of the sub and must be sacrificed to save the rest of the crew. Many typical scenes where the crew must decide who is in charge and if they're doing it the right way, the Navy way, the American way...cue rousing musical score and close ups of sweaty stern jawed faces.
I like to think of this as Scott's grown up follow up to 'Top Gun' (had to mention it). All the hallmarks of a slick military action flick but much more sensible without 80's pop music and male posing. I saw this opening night at the cinema (ye olde Warner Village cinema's) back when I was a young teen and liked it, I still like it now, what more can I say!?.

So I'm 25 weeks and have had a healthy pregnancy but in the last week I've noticed cramps in my belly and sides if I start moving too quickly or for too long. I've been pretty active lately but they have gotten a little worse. I don't know if this is normal or if it is something to worry about. I got a weird pain behind my belly button and thats what prompted me to post. Anyone else feeling the same thing or have any ideas?
can't tell if it is bad

Its probably a mix of braxton hicks and round ligament pain.
Drink lots of water and move a bit slower. I often feel like a sloth but hey it doesn't hurt as bad. Good luck!

Def agree.. sounds like the classic braxton hicks + round ligament pains! Very normal!

I second the ligament pain. I've been having it too and I had it with my first LO as well.
Posted 08/01/2012
Yep! That's exactly what I experienced with
DS and this one too. Most likely round ligament pain and Braxton Hicks. The belly button area is the prime spot for round ligament pain.

I have the pain in my tummy button which has a bump above it and my OB said it's a hernia that will probably go away when the baby is born.
Posted 08/01/2012
I get the pain around my belly button all the time. I also have pain lower and on the sides. As long as there's no bleeding and it's not a contracting pain, my doctor said it's nothing to worry about.
Posted 08/02/2012
Round ligament pain.. I'm 26 weeks and just started noticing it more in the last few days. Moving slower helps but is kinda hard with a 2yo dd as a single mom. Try not to worry!
Posted 08/02/2012
Sounds like normal stuff, drink more water, that's what my Dr said the number one cause of cramp type pains are from.

Entire Industry Needed To Make IH/M&RS Better
Wednesday November 9th, 2011 - 4:04PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
It's hard to believe it is November again and time for the annual International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show in New York City. This will be my 24th straight year attending the show. I remember years when there was a foot of snow, and at the same time, I can even recall a year or two when the temperature was in the 70s. There's one thing, however, that has always been consistent for me, the feeling that nothing could be better than being in the world's greatest city during the fall.
That feeling has not necessarily subsided, but I must admit the excitement and buzz leading up to the show has waned a bit over the last few years. Let's face it, the IH/M&R Show isn't what it used to be. While reminiscing with people just recently coming into our industry, I frequently talk about how the show once was. It was the time when the entire marketplace would convene to recap the year just wrapping up, and begin planning and forecasting for the year to come.
Both exhibit floors, upstairs and downstairs, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center always seemed to be filled from wall to wall. There was the aroma of prime rib cooking at the Alto Shaam booth, hot fresh donuts being served at the Belshaw Bakery Group exhibit and, of course, all of the Nathans franks you could eat. The nightlife was nonstop and included client dinners at Smith & Wollensky and Sparks, galas at the Waldorf Astoria, the Plaza and New York Palace and party hopping at the Big Apple's hottest clubs and night spots. At the end of each evening, everybody who was anybody would meet up at the circular bar in the lobby of the Loews Hotel for a nightcap. I can remember as a newcomer to the industry intently listening to stories being told by such industry execs as Patricia Durkan from Durkan Carpets, Tom Strickland of Philips Electronics and John Beasley, formerly of Zenith. The IH/M&RS was, without a doubt, the most important event of the year.
My intention here isn't to live in the past, point fingers, nor put the sole responsibility for the show's decline on the shoulders of its management company (GLM), its owners, the American Hotel and Lodging Association, or the Hotel Association of New York City and the New York State Hospitality & Tourism Association.
Some of the world events, from 9/11 to the more recent economic meltdown, over the past decade have definitely had a major impact on the show. My objective is to challenge the entire industry to work on a solution together. Few would disagree that a successful IH/M&RS is important for all involved.
I'm not suggesting that company's exhibit or hoteliers attend just for the sake of gratuitously supporting the show. Nobody understands better than I do the pressure of showing an ROI on every marketing dollar spent. What I am recommending is to actively communicate with the officials at AH&LA, HANYC and NYSH&TA. Exhibitors, you need to let them know what changes will have to be made for you to continue supporting the show. Attendees do the same; make it clear what it will take for you to keep coming to New York in November.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

Liverpool's principal owner John Henry has laughed off Arsenal's bid for Luis Suarez.
Last night the Gunners saw an improved offer of ┬Ż40million rejected by the Reds with the inclusion of an additional ┬Ż1 in a bid to trigger a clause in the wantaway striker's contract.
Liverpool remain intent keeping Suarez, who has made no secret this summer of his desperation to quit England, at Anfield and would only entertain offers of ┬Ż50million for him.
And Henry, head of the club's parent company Fenway Sports Group, hasbroken his silence on the saga surrounding the controversial Uruguayan, currently serving a 10-match ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic, and took aim at the north Londoners' attempt to lure him to the Emirates Stadium.
A tweet posted on the Boston Red Sox chief's Twitter account this morning said: "What do you think they're smoking over there at Emirates?ŌĆØ

Royce Wilder faces pressures at work, at home and from his past. His self-made career as a land appraiser in Altamont, N.C., is threatened by recession. His son, Dean, is turning into a surly teenager at a private school, where he has taken up graffiti as an illicit hobby. His wife, Eva, seems distracted, losing her job as director of a nonprofit for community beautification.
His mother Ruth is a widow living alone on her farm the next county over where his Uncle Dallas has neglected to pay their taxes for the past several years. Wanda McRae, the community's pariah, starts breaking into her neighbors' homes, bearing a fifty-year old grudge. Royce frets over an offer that could solve the family's finances from Leonard Landrum, who insists that the land in Beaverdam is heavily contaminated with radon gas, which could make it ripe for a proposed nuclear waste site. But Royce's birthplace holds other long-buried secrets.
A homeless man, Kyle McRae, who knocked at the Wilders' door but who was turned away with nothing, holds the key to these secrets. As Kyle makes his way back to Beaverdam, all these lives converge in a rural community under threat in an always changing world.

::Her limp grew more pronounced as they made their way over the hilly terrain. As night started the fall, the last rays of the sun dipping below the horizon, Aurel had to rely more and more on her night sight to help both her and Mirae traverse the uneven ground. But much to their relief, both of them spotted the lights off in the distance, and the occasional flash of the lanterns on the Crow's-nest. Aurel was beginning to feel a bit weak, more hot and cold flashes burning through her body like vitriol, each step on the wounded leg agony that made her head throb in time with her frantic heartbeat.
Report One
Sir, My name is Harska Darke of House Tharask in reply to your request for a tracker. We thank you for employing our services and supplying us with the description and a personal effect from the target. I wish to assure you my skills are more than up to the task and that I shall find the target within the parameters you have requested. Reports will follow upon finding the trail and once the subject is located.
Report Two
Harska Darke of House Tharask reporting. Here is the current information we have.
One single female elf of approximate adult age of 120-140 years of age, Russet hair, wilderness training and fighting techniques, possible head injury or reoccurring headaches, and or body convulsions.
This individual was tracked through the confines of Three Barrel cove and into the wilderness where eyewitness reports have indicated her making her way towards the Fire Caves. Several reports of her engaging the local populace in conflicts have been received, though most of these reports claim the witness as the victim, sufficient proof has been gathered that she was the set upon individual.
Subject was spotted at the Fire Caves, camped out on a ledge above the lava pools. Said subject was witnessed perched above the pools for hours. Until dark, then subject was lost. It is unsure as to why, but atmospheric conditions and a large storm moved in and by the time a new position had been taken to observe the subject, the subject had vanished from the scene.
After two days of searching, and following up rumors the subject was tentatively located on the opposite side of the island. Operations are moving forward to investigate.
Arrives via magical communications, to Stormreach representative then sent to employer via runner. Report Three
Harska Darke of House Tharask reporting, confirmed visual contact.
Five days since rumors and search information was collated. Subject was observed camping on the north-north west side of the stream that dumps into the Weeping Cove, near a couple of ancient stone pillars there. We observed the subject for several hours before sending this missive. We have notice this individual appears to have been injured and by our observations now is seeking to return to the cove for treatment. Subject has been joined by a human female, accompanied by a small forest or large domestic feline (species is unknown at this time).
::As another wave of fever hits Aurel, she finally assented to being more or less carried by the human woman. Just before they hit the town, Aurel slipped a heavy cloak out of her pack and with Mirea's help shruggrd it on, its dark gray cloth falling to her knees. She pulled the hood up to cover her russet hair and then with her companions help, continued their travel to the port town.
They manage to make it to town before the spirits had fully affected the gathered scallywags and assorted dregs of society. They are able to find a small secluded table near the kitchen, and Aurel nearly passed out as they gently lowered her into a chair backed up into a corner, Keeping her head hidden in the hood of her cloak, she shivered, though sweat soaks her features. "Perhaps something warm to drink? Then I can.. ' closed her eyes for a moment, "see if we can get passage back to Stormreach. The Captain or the first mate should be around here somewhere."::

Finally something written what I complaint a lot of times before, when my friends say: "Uhh, that food is really hot"
How can you differentiate if it is actually hot, as in high temperature or if it is SPICY (which is mostly what they mean)?
I am also translating technical manuals from German to English. (I am a native German speaker)
The problem is the some terms get "dumbed down".
10 years ago I could simply use one word which described everything I needed to say, now it has a double meaning and I have to explain the word as otherwise people can damage the product.
All the "explaining" "blows up" the manual making it longer and harder to read, and guess what happens? More faulty products due to incorrect usage....
