Favours regulatory framework for providing citizen services
Infosys CEO Kris Gopalakrishnan on Friday favoured creation of a regulatory framework to tap the huge cloud computing potential for providing citizen services.
Talking to reporters after delivering a talk on 'Growing penetration of information systems and relevance of cloud computing for inclusive growth' at the College of Defence Management here, he said the delivery of citizen services could be accelerated if there was a regulatory framework.
However, while moving to cloud computing the private security of individuals needed to be protected. He said the Confederation of Indian Industry was preparing a draft paper on the regulatory framework.
He said Infosys was just starting in the area of cloud computing and developing new models. The IT industry must take advantage of the shift towards cloud computing as there were multiple opportunities. Around 3 per cent of the revenues at Infosys were from cloud computing. Earlier delivering the talk, he said the world was at the beginning of a 'disruptive change', which would fundamentally impact the lives of the people for the next 20 to 30 years.
Referring to Apple's recent announcement of i-cloud, he said it was seen as something as dramatic as when the browser was introduced in 1994 or the personal computer in 1981.
Describing the announcement as the beginning of the next wave of innovation and change, he said 'we are entering into post-PC era." In this era, PC was just one of the devices to be connected to internet.
With mobile devices, he said, the paradigm of computing was changing. Stating that cloud-computing like electricity would enable ubiquitous and innovative application of IT, he called for developing new models for taking advantage of it. Cloud ownership could be public, private, hybrid or community, he elaborated how cloud computing could be leveraged for social outreach possibilities such as healthcare delivery, community services, integrated citizen services and learning services.

This is one of the cases where the movie is much better than the book. The movie is among the best SF movies of all time (so far), while the book is mediocre at best. Sagan was a great scientist, even visionary, but a great writer he was not. If you want to read Sagan, I'd recommend Pale Blue Dot.
I like the movie Contact. True, it's simplistic, but it's a fun watch. I realized that we owned the book all this time, yet I had never read it. It's *amazing* how different, yet similar the book is to the movie. I sort of understand why changes were made, but I do believe the book gave us a more dynamic, yet less sympathetic Dr. Arroway.
One thing I liked was how we followed Ellie Arroway from childhood through the entire message part. Getting a lot more about Ellie's background made it easier to understand why she was so hollow. Another think I liked in the book was that the religious debates were toned down. To me, the movie kind of hit you over the head with trite arguments.
If you like the movie, I suggest you read the book. If you haven't watched the movie, I still suggest this book as a good read.
Loved this book... except for the last 30 or so pages. I'm sorry, Carl, but you lost me there.
The story asks the question what would happen if we were ever contacted by radio by an alien civilization. Sagan was assumed to be atheist/ agnositic. Yet the book treats religion in a fair manner. The story asks the compelling questions that folks outside of Christianity that think feel are fair. It looks at the question is personal experience without supporting real world evidence enough to cause someone to believe in something?
So what would a scientist say to astronaut who came back from a journey into space claiming he met aliens yet had no artifacts to support his claim? I think the same things that they say to Christians who claim God became a man and died for peoples wrong doings. These are the main questions that Sagan explores in this story,
I would recommend to this story to everyone who wants to explore the questions of faith and belief while reading a good science fiction novel.
"In the scant few decades in which humans have pursued radio astronomy, there has never been a real signal from the depths of space, something manufactured, something artificial, something contrived by an alien mind.
And yet the origin of life now seemed to be so easy — and there were so many billions of years available for biological evolution — that it was hard to believe the Galaxy was not teeming with life and intelligence."
– from Contact by Carl Sagan
So many alien contact stories, especially those presented in movies, show a hostile force invading the Earth, forcing the human race to rally together in order to fight back. This is perspective is often driven by humanity's history of violence and colonization, as well as human paranoia, such as with 1950s alien invasion movies as a metaphor for Cold War fears.
While I've enjoyed many an alien invasion stories (most recently, Falling Skies), I find myself drawn to and prefer first contact stories that are more positive or, at least, more ambiguous.
I think that is part of what made me love the movie Contact so much, when it was released in 1997, that story of ambiguous first contact with alien life based in scientific plausibility. It was a story not wholly built on paranoia and allowed for interesting perspectives to come through — How would people and government and religious groups react if an alien signal arrived from space? Plus it featured a complicated woman, heading the scientific investigation, played by the amazing Jodie Foster. I still get chills just rewatching the movie trailer.
"I'll tell you one thing about the universe, though. The universe is a pretty big place. It's bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So if it's just us... seems like an awful waste of space."
— from Contact (movie version)
It's taken me a long time to get around to reading the novel, but it's been on my to-read list ever since I've seen the movie. I'm so glad I did.
Both the novel and the movie generally follow the same storyline: a team of scientists, lead by Ellie Arroway, discovers a radio signal in space, from the star Vega, and begin to decode a message that ultimately leads to an astounding adventure. But whereas the movie, due to it's limited time frame to unfold the story, is extremely American-centric, the book allows for space and scope to expand into a look at how other nations handle the situation, as well as presenting a more thorough understanding the science. It's the science and the knowledge that the Earth rotates that makes the international scope necessary — a single array of telescopes can only capture the signal from Vega for a short part of the day or night before the Earth rotates away and looses contact with the signal, requiring a global network of radio telescopes along every longitude.
Another thing the book expands upon wonderfully is the character of Ellie, who we see from her birth up through her team's first discovery of the signal and onward. It shows a determined and intelligent woman, who find through science and discovery a sense of wonder in the world and how it works. And, since the story is primarily told from Ellie's point of view, that sense of wonder is settled into the necessary scientific explanations throughout the book, making me want to look at the world with new eyes.
In the face of proof of intelligent extraterrestrial life, the book posits, the world began to grasp a feeling of greater perspective and unified perspective that we are all human. As a result, the Earth's most powerful nations, the U.S., Russia, and China, began to dismantle their nuclear stockpiles as a part of renewed negations. Reading this, I couldn't help but cry and long for some signal to reach us. Our world, in which the world news seems to present announcements of new, bloody conflict everyday, could use a shift in its universal perspective.
"My fondest hope for this book is that it will be made obsolete by the pace of real scientific discovery," writes Sagan in his Author's Note. We're not quite there yet, I don't think, but I hope we will get there.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671004107, Mass Market Paperback)It is December 1999, the dawn of the millennium, and a team of international scientists is poised for the most fantastic adventure in human history. After years of scanning the galaxy for signs of somebody or something else, this team believes they've found a message from an intelligent source--and they travel deep into space to meet it. Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Sagan injects Contact, his prophetic adventure story, with scientific details that make it utterly believable. It is a Cold War era novel that parlays the nuclear paranoia of the time into exquisitely wrought tension among the various countries involved. Sagan meditates on science, religion, and government--the elements that define society--and looks to their impact on and role in the future. His ability to pack an exciting read with such rich content is an unusual talent that makes Contact a modern sci-fi classic.

Embellished Baseball Cap

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Is there a special race run/walk coming up for you and your charity team? Create your own team apparel by decorating blank baseball caps with iron-on thread. You can add initials, symbols, or motifs like a pink ribbon (for breast cancer awareness). This project is also fun and easy for any group field trip, family reunion, camp, or after school class.
- Plain baseball caps (available at craft stores)
- Mrs. K's Iron-on Ribbon in colors to match your theme. We used Pink and Sky Blue
- Kreinik Mini Iron or household iron
- Teflon Press Cloth
Make sure the hat is clean and dry before beginning.
Turn your iron onto the highest heat setting and allow it to heat thoroughly.
If you need design lines to follow, use a disappearing pen or pencil to trace from a stencil or draw freeform.
Lay your iron-on thread at a starting point, cover with the Teflon Press Cloth, and tack down with your iron.
Continue along your traced lines, laying the thread directly on top of the marks, pressing the thread in sections, ironing for 3 to 5 seconds to make sure the thread adheres.
- When finished, clip the thread and begin with another color in your next area.
Tip: Wearables get a lot of, well, wear, so if the thread starts to pop off, simply re-press with a hot iron.

Ben Carson: Same-Sex Marriage Is A 'Finger-In-Your-Eye To God' - LISTEN
Anti-gay activist Ben Carson joined James Dobson on Family Talk Radio last week to discuss pro-LGBT pastors, reports Right Wing Watch.
In a bizarre exchange, Dobson, who argued that bisexual people "have sex with males and females at the same time," said:
"If men can marry and if the things that are said about same-sex relationships and marriage and the Bible are misunderstandings, what do you do with the rest of LGBT? What do you do with bisexuality? If one of those is right and proper and holy, what about those who have sex with males and females at the same time? That's called orgies, that's what it used to be called, or just sleeping around with everybody and it doesn't matter. How can a Christian minister who reads the Bible condone that?"
Agreeing with Dobson, Carson argued that same-sex marriage is offensive to God:
"Well, you know, my emphasis is that marriage is an institution established by God himself...So when you start distorting that, you're really going pretty deep into the finger-in-your-eye to God. That's why I have a hard time understanding why ministers are willing to do that."
Last month, English comedian Russell Brand made a video criticizing Carson's homophobic views.
Listen to the exchange between Carson and Dobson, AFTER THE JUMP...
"Well, you know, my emphasis is that marriage is an institution established by God, himself.....So when you start distorting that, you're really going pretty deep into the finger-in-your-eye to God"
Well, given that 72% of the black babies born in the US last year were to fatherless households, I guess black men, the good Reverend's peer group, have just about poked old God's eyes completely out by now.....between shooting and stabbing each other.....

The Bible is so wide of the mark about the Great Mystery behind life that no evangelical can even begin to grasp it. Such a man's pronouncements can thus ony be grossly mistaken.

Hey, Ben Carson! I've got a finger especially for you. Guess which one it is.

"...finger in the eye...". All I could think of was The Three Stooges. Makes much more sense.

It seems god has more hateful, spiteful, mean spirtied spokes persons these days. They don't seem to want to feed, clothe, house the poor, the defenseless or do anything towards justice or peace anymore. They seem only concerned about how to control the lives of others in an abberent, sociopahtic manner.
Posted by: Greg | Aug 2, 2014 1:38:46 PM
Seems ol' Ben here is worth upwards of $10 million. And as we all know what Jesus said:
And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Guess he's screwed.

Also, @RICK, that 72% isn't for 'fatherless households'. Its stated (by the CDC) as for 'unmarried mothers', which doesn't exactly state the household is 'fatherless'. If you're going to make this about race, get your facts tight.

Has he looked in a mirror lately? That's the "finger in God's eye"

If God didn't want fingers in eyes, he wouldn't have made them so pokey. I know some will disagree with me, but this is just how I feel deep down, and that's how I know I'm right.

My gut reaction to all this kind of vitriol is, "And...?"
I mean I can't argue that homosexuality doesn't go against his definition of Christianity and righteousness, so why bother?
The fact is there are a thousand different denominations in America, and most people agree the only way this country works is if none of them get to define things.
Posted by: jerza | Aug 2, 2014 4:37:34 PM
It's funny when these so-called "christians" keep arguing about marriage and religion yet not once in any of the marriage equality cases that have been brought forward has either the bible or god even been mentioned as a reason to stop marriage equality. Quite simply they know it's not a valid argument.
Posted by: Craig | Aug 2, 2014 4:44:06 PM
when did his god begin working at the courthouse? gay marriage is about local, state, and federal law, not religianity.
you, your minister's followers, and your invisible friend can personally define marriage however your cult-like organizations prefer, but when it comes to american law books, hands off! fingers & eyes, too...
Posted by: northalabama | Aug 2, 2014 5:35:52 PM
It is too bad that Mr. Carson can't take a sex education class and have someone put a finger in his eye so that when he does spout his dribble, at least some of it might be factual.....bisexuals, orgies and having sex with males and females doesn't even make sense even for someone as ignorant as Carson.......He is supposed to be a retired doctor.....but maybe he missed the class on bisexuals that day............

I'm currently trying to create a gallery of pictures loaded from Internet.
I'm using a standard Gallery object, with a custom adapter and a custom ImageView. Everything is working quite fine, expect for the pictures downloading.
I'm using an asynchronous task to do this (I have thumbnails displaying while loading).
It's working really well to load thumbnails, but not really for the "big" images (about 50k each).
I'm using this for loading pictures :
private class DownloadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String,Void,Drawable>{
protected Drawable doInBackground(String... arg0) {
URL url;
InputStream is;
Drawable d=null;
try {
url = new URL(arg0[0]);
is = (InputStream) url.getContent();
d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src");
return d;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
return null;
protected void onPostExecute(Drawable result) {
Problem is, quite randomly but about 8 times out of 10, I got the following message in my log "10-25 14:58:18.764: DEBUG/skia(11294): --- decoder->decode returned false", and then my drawable is null.
I'd say there is a problem with my code, but why is it working sometimes? or not?
I tried to put WebViews in my gallery, loading only the image URL, and it's working really nicely and awsomly fast to download the pictures, but then the display is quite messed up (slower and not responsive, and images are not centered in the screen...).
What should I do?
I don't understand why sometimes my inputstream is not working. Only sometimes. If tried hard enough (like with a loop), it always works after a few attemps, but it's really an ugly solution.
Is there a way to download the pictures with webviews and get them after? I tried something like that (with getCache() or capturePicture() from the webview) but it wasn't showing anything...
Any thoughts? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: Well.. it's working everytime when I realize a copy of the inputStream... but why?

The idea was lovely. I found the fabric much too delicate. Personally, the colour "peach" did not work on my complexion - it disappeared on me and had no impact at all.The quality does hit the great MW standard, which keeps me coming back and the "difference" in design is a bonus too with this line.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Beautiful cardigan
By Ed
from Winnipeg
Gorgeous fabric and very much designers piece.The only concern is the sizing, I ordered medium but it was way too large. Wanted to exchange but unfortunately it sold out of smaller sizes. It is very generous and oversized, however its workable because of the fabric been flowy and soft. Additionally, the sleeve cuff might be too tight in the smaller sizes. My cardigan beside been too large also had a manufacturing stain on the cuffs and not been able to exchange For the same greyish/silver color, which is absolutely gorgeous (with a bit of shimer) I will try the ivory.

The first 30 seconds of the ZMO Trio's self-titled debut EP is nothing if not striking: The delicate bass arpeggios, the roomy, naturalistic drums, and the tinkling, intricate piano all point to a modern, progressive jazz recording, but then singer/bassist/namesake Zachary Miles Ojeda's plaintive and un-jazzy voice coasts in and now you don't know what to make of opening track "Nighttime."
Pitching themselves somewhere between the Bill Evans Trio and the Alkaline Trio, the ZMO Trio's emo-jazz sounds like a terrible idea. But amazingly, "Nighttime" is largely successful. Ojeda gets sympathetic backing from pianist Shawn Vaughan and drummer Andrew Thornbough, and the way the group weaves from the rambling, cyclical verse to the succinct and jazzy chorus catches some of Joe Jackson's residual magic from "Stepping Out."
But over the course of the EP, the lyrics can't escape the kind of lovelorn high school fare that would be unspectacular in a traditional indie-rock band, and here stick out as distinctly weak. Blame it on youth (Ojeda is a junior at McNally Smith College of Music), but hooks like "Your love is more real/More than anything I have/Ever felt" lack the imagery or specificity to be evocative, and the spare musical backdrop can't provide the rush necessary to overpower such clichés.
The ZMO Trio is an interesting concept, but it also shows why genre-busting is a dangerous profession; after all, jazz is more than jazziness and emo is more than heart-on-sleeve whining. Jazz requires emotional subtlety and control, and emo demands emotional bombast and catharsis. It seems like there's little common ground there, but "Nighttime" at least provides a hint that they're not mutually exclusive.

Tom Sneva
|Tom Sneva
Sneva in the 1980s
June 1, 1948
Spokane, Washington, U.S.
Thomas E. "Tom" Sneva (born June 1, 1948) is a retired American race car driver, the winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 1983. He primarily raced in Indy cars, and was named to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2005.
A former math teacher from Spokane, Washington, Sneva's win at Indianapolis followed several runner-up finishes and notable crashes. Nicknamed "The Gas Man,"[1] he was an outstanding qualifier, winning the pole position three times (1977, 1978, 1984). He was also the fastest qualifier on a fourth occasion in 1981, but because of qualifying rules did not start the race from the pole position.
Sneva won two consecutive USAC National Championships for Indy cars in 1977 and 1978.
Born in Spokane, Sneva played football and basketball at Lewis and Clark High School and a year of college basketball at Eastern Washington State College in nearby Cheney.[2] After graduation from Eastern, he worked as a math teacher before racing full-time.[3] Sneva was the eldest of five brothers, all racers; the next oldest was Jerry, who also competed at Indy.
At Indianapolis in 1977, Sneva drove his famed Norton Spirit McLaren M24/Cosworth racer for car owner Roger Penske, and became the first driver to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 at a speed at 200 mph (321.9 km/h) or more. His one-lap track record on May 14 was 200.535 mph (322.7 km/h).[4][5]
In 1984, Sneva became the first to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 over 210 mph (338.0 km/h) in his Texaco Star March 84C/Cosworth driving for the new Mayer Motor Racing team. His one and four lap track records on May 12 were 210.689 mph (339.1 km/h) and 210.029 mph (338.0 km/h).[6][7]
Sneva's career at the Indianapolis 500 was known for fast qualifying, second place finishes, near misses and several crashes.[6] Three times (1977, 1978, 1980) Sneva ended up the bridesmaid by finishing second. Finally, Sneva broke through in dramatic fashion in 1983 after a thrilling late race duel with Al Unser, Sr. and the lapped car of Unser's rookie son, Al Jr. It was Sneva's 1983 win in his Texaco Star March 83C/Cosworth for Bignotti-Cotter Racing that led to his nickname of "The Gas Man." That win was also famous for it being the last of George Bignotti's record seven Indianapolis 500 wins as a chief mechanic. For Sneva, the victory was sweet revenge, as he had been fired by Roger Penske prior to the race for never winning the Indy 500.
Sneva's second-place finish in 1980 is notable as it is one of only two occasions of such a finish by a driver starting last. It is also the only time the driver who started last (33rd) led laps during the race. Several other times Sneva was in contention for the win, but did not make it to the end of the race. In 1981, Sneva charged hard from his 20th starting position to lead early in the race, but his newly untested Blue Poly March 81-C/Cosworth was fragile and his clutch failed early on.
One year later, Sneva was in a duel with eventual winner Gordon Johncock and eventual runner-up Rick Mears when his engine in his Texaco Star March 82-C/Cosworth began losing power and eventually failed near the end of the race. As defending champion in 1984, Sneva dueled with Mears only 32 laps from the finish, but his CV joint failed, enabling Mears to win. The 1985 race was a testament to Sneva's ability as he drove an ill-handling Skoal Bandit Eagle/Cosworth to second place before exiting in a crash with the lapped car of Rich Vogler. It was this series of near misses combined with second-place finishes and hard-charging qualifying and racing style that made Sneva a fan favorite at Indianapolis.
He suffered one of the most famous crashes at Indianapolis during the 1975 race, his second. After touching wheels with Eldon Rasmussen, 26-year-old Sneva flipped up into the catch fence and tore his car in half, but suffered mostly minor burns on 15% of his body in the fiery crash. He walked to the ambulance but was placed in the intensive care unit at Methodist Hospital, mainly for lung issues due to the fire retardant.[2][8] In 1986, he was warming up his car during the pace lap, but lost control and crashed before the race started. In 1987, Sneva crashed three cars, two in practice, and one during the race. He crashed during the Indianapolis 500 in 1975, 1979, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1992, a record for crashes during the race.
After Sneva's Indy victory in 1983, he never finished the race again. He dropped out of the race in 1984-1990, failed to qualify in 1991, and dropped out of the 1992 race as well. Some observers have attributed his decline in success to the switch to radial tires (the series transitioned to radials over a period from 1985–1987). His driving style was more apropos to bias ply tires.
Sneva showed his versatility by competing in eight NASCAR Winston Cup (now Sprint Cup Series) events in his career, spanning from 1977 to 1987. He earned one top-ten, a 7th in the 1983 Daytona 500.
Sneva's final start was the 1992 Indy 500. He arrived at Indy without a ride for 1993, and was unsuccessful in landing a car for the race. He retired with 13 career Indy car wins and 14 pole positions.
After Sneva retired from driving, he was a color commentator for ABC television network's Wide World of Sports program and called several Indy 500s. He is also heavily involved in the golf course business where he resides in Paradise Valley, Arizona.[9]
Sneva's father, Edsol ("Ed") was a local racer in the Spokane region.[10]
Sneva is the oldest of five brothers: Jerry, Jan, Blaine, and Ed ("Babe"). He said the brothers were always racing something growing up.[10] Babe raced, too, but succumbed to injuries from a race crash in 1975 in British Columbia.[10]
Sneva was an ace in mathematics, and graduated from Eastern Washington State College in nearby Cheney with an education degree.[9] He became a math teacher in a tiny school district outside of Spokane city limits, and drove the school bus.[3]
Induction tribute by Robin Miller[edit]
The following short article was written by the racing journalist Robin Miller regarding Sneva's entry into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
He was the first man to break the 200 mph barrier at Indianapolis and the first back-to-back national champion to be fired. He was adored by the fans and media but managed to get sideways with A.J. Foyt, Johnny Rutherford and both Unser brothers during his career. Mechanics loved his savvy behind the wheel, yet wanted to strangle him because he was never satisfied with the chassis. He was well-spoken and outspoken -- but never at a loss for words.
Gordon Johncock once said: "If nine people pushed the up button in the elevator, Sneva would press down."
And that combination of talent, bravado, personality and unpredictability is what made Tom Sneva one of Indy-car racing's most entertaining performers for the better part of two decades.
He quit driving a school bus for Indy cars in 1973, packing up his wife and two young daughters and moving from Spokane, Wash. to Indianapolis where he immediately received instant respect and victories in the tough USAC sprint series.
Sneva qualified for his initial Indy 500 in '74 with a low-buck team and ran so quick all season that Roger Penske signed him up for '75. That was the start of a tumultuous four years where arguments ran a close second to success.
After surviving one of the most spectacular crashes in IMS history in May 1975, Tom came back to score his first win at Michigan a few weeks later. By 1977, nobody in the USAC paddock was quicker. The day after crashing and drawing the ire of his team for trying to run through Turn 4 flat out, Sneva stormed back to run the first 200 mph lap and win the pole position.
And, even though he captured the USAC title in '77 and '78, Penske didn't like drivers who thought outside the box or freely gave their opinion so he fired the national champion. Sneva soldiered on and by 1981 he had hooked up with George Bignotti. They fought like the Honeymooners but got along well enough to win six races together—including Indy in 1983.
A bridesmaid three times at the Speedway, "The Gas Man" (as he was nicknamed by fellow driver Johnny Parsons) drove the Texaco Star around Big Al Unser and into Victory Lane in a win that was as popular as it was overdue.
Sneva set another track record for his third Indy pole in 1984 and was fixin' to have a shootout with Rick Mears for the win when he lost a CV joint. He did triumph three times and lost the CART title to Mario Andretti by 13 points.
As road racing became more and more prominent, The Gas Man became an Indy-only specialist and competed for the final time in 1992. His career stats read 14 poles, 13 wins, two titles and 1,695 laps led. He was a master in traffic, especially at Phoenix and Milwaukee.
And whether he made you laugh, cuss or shake your head in awe, whenever he strapped on his helmet, Tom Sneva was always worth the price of admission.

I hope you enjoy these vibrant playful images, designed by Yuki, a Waseda University student in Tokyo. Her major is anthropology and Japanese folklore, not design, so I'm quite intriqued by her artsy side and I wonder how she has the time to study, blog, and take so many great photos! I fancy her creative vision and her blog, and especially enjoyed browsing her flickr albums that include her design work as well as random street scenes in Tokyo.

Just circling back with decor8 readers regarding a January post on Angela Adams bedding. Back then, only one pattern was available at Marshall Fields, however they've just added three more patterns along with some pillows. View the collection here. What do you think?
Marshall Fields also has beautiful bedding from Sigrid Olsen and Thomas O'Brien, too!

Fresh Finds at Thorsten Van Elten for under $100.
Time flies with these KoeKoeK feather clocks by Chris Koens. Available in dark or pale blue. Makes your heart flutter, don't they? psst: dark blue is the new 'in' color for home decor and fashion this season.
Don't feed the pigeons! Enjoy the warm glow of the pigeon light by ed carpenter instead. These have been around for awhile, but I still love them. Available in white, grey, pink and orange with either white or orange flex.
Leave a lasting impression with these stamp cups by valeria miglioli and barnaby barford. No more ring marks from coffee cups, flowers instead! Puts a whole new spin on coffee + cre8tive here at decor8!
Like the saying goes, "If you haven't got anything good to say, come and sit next to me." There's always something to talk about with the conversation cushion by barnaby barford and andre klauser. The conversation cushion comes loaded with 100 questions, fortune cookie style, each easily picked from the small rips in the front of the cushion. Not big on the look of this pillow, but I love the concept.
Have you seen these sweet little oma style crochet lampshades by electricwig before? I haven't, until now at least. (Christine L., if you're reading, this is for you!) This is a little crochet lampshade that fits over your existing standard lightfitting. A tea cozy for your bulb, I suppose.
(photo credits: from thorsten van elten website)
I usually don't dish about fashion here on decor8, but this post is a small exception simply because I think you'll really enjoy it and because it hasn't been covered yet in the blogs that I frequent. With the fashion exception for today, I'll try to leave it to the fashionistas over at gkfa, buss buss, daily candy, shefinds, get sugar, glam, top button and style bakery to leave you in a fashion frenzy, they should keep you clickin' for awhile!
However (ah-hem), I must point you to the Project Runway store for spiffy limited edition t-shirts designed by PR designers! Try to resist these perky tees, I dare you. Wayyyy cute.
I heart animated Andrae Gonzalo because he's so feisty and vibrant; between Andrae and Santino, all PR episodes became known as 'good television'. The t-shirt shown below, "Lighten up. It's just fashion." from Andrae is priced at $24.95. I also love the auf wiedersehen t-shirt and wonder what kind of reaction I'll get this summer wearing it in Germany (!).
psst…you can even purchase PR stuff via auction here. You can also click on the designers name in the left column and you'll enter their unique stores with goodies for sale or auction. I love the designers sketches that they're auctioning, and would love to get my hands on a few for framing! I really like the sketch from Daniel V., and the Kara Janx kimono dress, and Santinos sketch, fantastique!
For the real PR addicts, you can even bid to win items from the finale collections from Chloe, Daniel V., Santino and Kara!
Auf Wiedersehen!

Great web design often starts with the available themes in the WordPress marketplace, but it doesn't end there.
While most plugins offer functionality, there are the rare few that provide a site with new functionality and great design.
Take Symple Shortcodes, from wpexplorer.com. Symple Shortcodes is a plugin that allows you to easily add a huge variety of well designed, and highly functional features to your site via shortcodes.
Shortcodes are widely used in themes, but this can be problematic if you ever decide to change themes. If you've used shortcodes that are tied to a specific theme then you would need to replace all of them if you ever want to change your theme.
Depending on the amount of content you have and the number of shortcodes you have inserted, this could result in a huge problem if and when you want to change themes.
A WordPress shortcodes plugin alliviates this headache, because the shortcodes aren't tied to any particular theme. [click to continue…]

AND hope to NEVER seem them all...but bent mobos is one of the ones I have seen first hand...a couple times. :(
I dont care how YOU use your cooler. BUT Last time I checked....a D14 with even ONE fan still falls into the '2-3 pound' category....just like I said in my off hand snarky remark. IDK, but that pesky English to Metric conversion can be tough. I get it wrong all the time too :)
Let me be perfectly clear here: I. Do. Not. Care. What. You. Use.
That may sound blunt but it is true. Everyone has their own particular requirements. ALL are valid. Peace of mind can be priceless....BUT air vs water units are designed for different people. You fall in to the former and not the latter camp. BUT dont come off as saying that peeps that fall into the latter are wrong. Both are valid POVs.
Dont like the Corsair units. Fine. Its a free country. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you use it. Thats how the free market works.
The Antec's are mighty fine kit. The Corsairs are excellent kit too. So too is the D14. It all boils down to which flavour of awesome you want to have. ALL have their own minor annoyances, risks and rewards. Saying one is perfect and the others suck because of X or Y or Z is foolish.
Ive tried twice to point this out to you. This makes it 3 times. There wont be a 4th.
Honestly YMMV.
@ FG. For low noise a D14 is hard to beat (Im like you and also LOVE my Mega coolers. what a great design they are!). I personally like the H80 with low noise fans for my game rigs (my 580 is louder). But a D14 with its stock fans is damn near SILENT. Sorry to hear you had a rough go of it.
edit 2:
Did you try swapping out the fans for some lower noise ones? I find that 1500-1600 FDB fans on a H80 is pretty darn low noise solution for most moderate OCed rigs.
Thanks AKG, yea with 920, I am going to use a couple of scythe fans at 1500 rpm as you suggested, I really dont wanna sell it, its a mighty fine unit and comes with a free software for controling everything from windows!
Also, can I please request that when you get a chance, do a review on cooler master TPC 812?
Thanks for everything AKG, I really love all your reviews, specially the air coolers, I think I have read them all and understand them well!

Van Halen at MGM Grand Las Vegas
The MGM Grand Las Vegas, which opened in 1993, is a hotel casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, as a Hollywood themed resort.
Owned and operated by the MGM Mirage company, the 30-floor main building is 293 feet (89 m) high and features five outdoor pools, rivers, and waterfalls that cover 6.6 acres,[1] a 380,000 square foot (35,000 m²) convention center, the MGM Grand Arena, CBS Television City, and the Grand Spa. It also houses numerous shops and night clubs, 16 restaurants, two food courts, and the largest casino in Las Vegas, which occupies 171,500 square feet (16,000 m²).
Located on the Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection, pedestrians are not allowed to cross at street level. Instead, the MGM Grand is linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos: to the south across Tropicana Avenue, the Tropicana, and to the west across the Strip, the New York-New York.

There's nothing quite like going back to visit old stomping grounds. You instinctively search for the familiar, and you can't help but notice the new.
Such was my visit last year to Paso Robles, the "Pass of the Oaks," where I was fortunate enough to have lived for a few short years.
In less than a decade, not only has there been an explosion of housing construction, but there are now three new major hotels and a large shopping center. Since the nine-screen Cineplex opened on the downtown square, you no longer have to drive 20 miles south to Atascadero for a movie. The number of bonded wineries has quadrupled and several winery tasting rooms and a wine bar have opened downtown.
Villa Creek Restaurant had just opened when I lived in Paso. I recall the menu having more Mexican and Latino influence. In the years since, the food has evolved to be more Mediterranean and "early California" with executive chef Tom Fundaro heading up the kitchen.
Local winemakers, winery owners and growers frequent Villa Creek, which is sort of an unofficial gathering place for the winegrowing region. One big reason is Fundaro's cooking. Villa Creek owners Cris and JoAnn Cherry also own Villa Creek Cellars, so it's not surprising that the restaurant's menu pairs well with its sister winery's Rhone varietals and blends and other Paso Robles and South Central Coast Rhone wines as well.
Fundaro shared his recipe for Spiced Duck Leg Confit With Farro Risotto, which is a good match for Syrah and red Rhone blends. Succulent duck has the intensity and richness to support the wines' full body and concentrated fruit, while the spice in the confit plays to its spice and pepper notes. Duck also has a mild gamy quality that echoes the slight earthiness found in many Rhone reds. This duck confit is flexible enough to pair with Pinot Noir, which often has spice and earth. Farro is a wholesome grain with nutty nuances and slight al dente texture.
With fall here, roasted root vegetables - parsnips, turnips, rutabagas and carrots - make an interesting side dish. Sauteed mushrooms are also a slam-dunk accompaniment with the duck and farro.
I remember happy times in Paso, when blistering summer days gave way to chilly night breezes on the backyard patio, where from a steaming hot tub I could watch the comet Hale-Bopp move across the star-dusted sky.
After living the "big city life" for almost a decade, perhaps what I miss most about Paso Robles is the friendly hospitality. Good food, good wine and good company. My most recent Paso visit was too short; I better make my next visit sooner rather than later.

Soft and silky
Par Minou
de Kingston Ontario
I'm happy with my purchase at this price point. My sheets fit my king size bed well, launder easily without fuss and retain their original shape.

A Big Mistake
Par Merridae
de Middle Sackville, Nova Scotia
I wrote a review on these sheets a couple of months ago when I first received them and complained that the sheets did not fit properly. Well, it is a few months later and I have to say it just keeps getting worse. They are supposed to fit a double bed but every time I wash these sheets and put them back on the bed, they have shrunk to the point where I don't know if I will be able to get them on the bed when I wash them again. In addition, they are so wrinkled that they should be ironed but I haven't ironed sheets in years and don't intend to start now. I really regret purchasing these sheets, will never buy anything from HomeSuite again.

So Soft
Par CAB
de Kelowna, BC
Just received the sheet set, washed beautifully, no wrinkling, put them on my bed and oh so soft, wonderful sleep, like air on your body. Excellent quality and price. Will buy more.
Poor Fit
I purchased these sheets for a double bed and they are nice and soft but they were very difficult to put on because the fitted sheet was not really large enough and pulled very tight on the corners. It shouldn't be that difficult to put sheets on your bed. I understand that some customers found the sheets too large. There certainly seems to be an inconsistency in sizing.

I bought a blue set, loved them and went back and bought a white set for my mom and another set for myself. Absolutely love them. Would recommend them to anyone!

HomeSuite 600 Thread Sheet set
Par CoolgalfromupNorth
de Grande Prairie, Alberta
These sheets are nice and deep in corner for thick mattress like our, which we needed at least 18 inch depth. Sheets are very soft and wash after wash; they go back on the mattress, and they continue to be comfy. Also glad there's no pile buildup, their quality are very GOOD; we reorder more sheets set because we were satisfied and we will order again in the future. Yes, we recommend these 600 thread counts Homesuite sheet set to everyone.

Bought these in white, very soft, feels silky, wash perfectly.
Nice and soft
Par Soultrain
de Nepean, Ontario
I ordered two sets of these sheets...queen in yellow and single in white. The single set seems larger than the mattress on my new single bed but that could be due to the actual mattress not being as deep as some of the newer, high-quality ones. The fabric washes nicely and the sheets are comfy. I have other 1000 thread cotton sheets and although this item is good, they cannot compare to the 100% Egyptian cotton.
love these sheets!

I have purchased several sheet-sets from TSC and these are my favourite, by far. They are surprising soft and silky with a lovely sheen. I bought several colours and enjoy them immensely! Good price for a quality product.
