|Shared Circle: Engaging Women On Google+Last night +Daria Musk highlighted the top 50 women on Google+ who bring great content to her stream. As you can imagine, all users of Google+ bring unique value, but what I've found from having a circle dedicated to some of the great women on Google+, even as that circle has grown to hundreds, is incredible diversity and discovery of new interests.That's not to say men are boring... but... I digress. Here is my updated circle of great ladies on Google+. Add as many or as few as you like, and be prepared for some fantastic content and smart people.

|Do you know of any exceptional G+ ladies that are not on this circle and should be? High quality posts, posts often (every day, or every other day)? Let me know please. Also feel free to share this circle with others :)

|This is my second shared circle of great G+ Ladies.... So many ladies have been brought (or brought themselves) to my attention since sharing the first one, I made this one... There is still room to add more here... but filling up fast... so I started yet a Third Great Ladies Circle I will re-post the first one forthwith... then the third. If you wish to be added or have any suggestions please comment on any of the three.

|Ok... Here is what I consider to be a valuable circle indeed. My first shared circle, so why not start with the Best ....Ladies . If you know the G+ Men to Women ratio.... you know there are too few ladies out here so far. Add this circle to balance your stream a bit. There are some very interesting people in here. I left it at 400 to start in case I miss any ladies who want to be added. If I missed you and you would like to be in this circle... let me know. ....this circle includes 1 really cool guy.... the guy all these fantastic Ladies have in common

|International Women's Day: A Circle of Top Women on G+Today is International Women's Day http://www.internationalwomensday.com/.In honor of the day, here's a list of some of the most active G+'ers and tech savvy women I interact with on the network. I called this the "Women in Tech" circle when I first created it a few months back, and visiting this circle is a regular stop for me to see diverse updates and interests. I recommend adding this as its own circle and setting the volume slider to what makes sense for you. Over time, I bet a bunch of these people will be some of your favorites in your circles.

Posted on the W3C Social Business Jam:
Is establishing processes the best practice for reaching goals ?
My hypothesis is that in this world of distributed hyper evolution where new solutions to problems and new problems are found on a daily basis, monolithic processes and rules artificially enforced only waste time and don't encourage Collaborative Intelligence.
You should have goals and tools to help you achieve those goals and the ability to find more tools or build new tools.
Social is a key part of learning and distributing the tools.
The best tools are the easiest to understand with the minimum set of instructions.
As a side note for Harry Halpin the Jam Software is a bit hard to use we should have used Google Circles or Facebook or Twitter. Distributed conversations #ftw

Our notes from the Optimizing Performance session at the jQuery Mobile Mini Unconference
- Do use HTML 5 Local Storage
Cache manifest file changes
In mobile browsers cache is not as big as in regular browsers
- Do use Offline Access as it also helps with perceived performance
A good tutorial:
- Do use Data Uris instead of sprite to manage less files and minimize http requests
Browser Support:

Silk comforter
A silk comforter (絲綿被) is a bed covering, most often used as a duvet, and also commonly referred to as a silk duvet, silk quilt, or silk blanket. Originally from China, silk comforters are now more common throughout the world. Their increasing popularity stems from a combination of factors, including their thermal properties, their light weight, and their natural hypoallergenic properties. The opening of the Chinese market to the world has also played a significant role in the spread of silk comforters, as China is both the world's biggest silk producer and silk comforter manufacturer.
Production and processing[edit]
Silk comes from the cocoons of the silkworm, which feeds off mulberry trees in subtropical climates. When the cocoon is boiled, the hard cocoon becomes a loose ball of strong, flexible filament measuring over 1,000 meters. Usually, this ball is uncoiled and wrapped onto a spindle for use in the textile industry making everything from clothing to rugs. During silk comforter production, however, the silk filament is not unraveled, but rather stretched into a flat tangled web and layered to form silk floss.
The cocoons are first boiled to loosen the sericin holding the filaments together and remove the silkworm. Each cocoon is expanded outwardly by hand on a U-shaped wooden rack, and the ball of thread becomes a sheet of tangled fibers. This sheet is then hand-stretched again on a larger rack along with several other cocoons to make a thick, cottony bundle called silk floss. It takes hundreds of these bundles to make a silk comforter.
Once enough silk cocoons have been stretched into bundles, the comforter begins to take shape. Workers grab the edges of the bundle and stretch it wide to match the dimensions of the desired comforter, and layer by layer the comforter begins to take shape. It can take anywhere between 100 and 400 of these thin layers to make a comforter, depending on bed dimensions and desired thickness. Since it takes many cocoons to make each layer, a silk comforter may be composed of thousands of silk cocoons.
Once the silk fiber layers are stacked together, they are sealed inside silk or cotton fabrics and the comforter is complete. The result is extremely light-weight despite the silk comforter's thickness. Silk comforters provide excellent insulating properties similar to down, but tend to be less bulky than down duvets. Silk is a breathable fabric, making silk comforters comfortable in a wide temperature range. Thin silk comforters are used even in the summer.
In the U.S., silk comforters are mainly imported from China or Taiwan and are priced roughly the same as down comforters. Unlike other natural fibers used in comforters, silk is naturally hypoallergenic, and also does not require any chemicals during the manufacturing process.[1] A silk comforter is a comparable alternative for people who are allergic to goose down comforters.[2]
Silk comforter care[edit]
Silk comforters are easy to care for: they only need to be dried under the sun twice a year to maintain their freshness. If more thorough cleaning is required, a silk comforter should be dry-cleaned, since the silk floss layers are damaged by contact with water.[citation needed]
They may have a fairly strong smell to them, attributed to the remaining pupa. There is some difference of opinion about how easy it is to get rid of the smell.
Cost in China[edit]
In November 2013, at a large, famous, government silk products store in Shanghai, the cost for a 100% silk queen sized 2.5 kg silk quilt (duvet, comforter) had the 'fixed price' of Yuan 880 or approximately U.S. $145 (there are no additional costs). Government fixed price stores, which one can apparently trust as regards quality, sometimes do allow you to bargain. The price has two parts: one is the silk filler, and the other is cotton cover.

Last fall, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the source for official US government nautical charts, abruptly announced it would no longer distribute lithographic nautical charts as of April 2014. The printer of NOAA charts, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), made the decision to stop printing charts after the US budget shutdown last September. Is this the beginning of the end of paper charts as we know them? Will printed charts from the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) be next?
In researching this article, we spoke to a number of marine industry professionals and started by asking, "Have you ever noticed boats on the water at night with incorrect or missing lights?
"Or none at all!" was the frequent response we got as people laughed out loud about how common it is for navigation lights to be faulty.
That's the question I asked fellow-boaters over the past year. About half reported some real doozies, while the rest reported minor mishaps such as running out of gas in their dinghy or losing their winch handle overboard. Accidents happen to the best of us. The key to happy boating is to learn from our mistakes and the mistakes of others so we don't repeat them.
Effective communication is the key to smooth, stress-free docking. I am an extraordinarily lucky guy. My wife Corinne is the skipper of our American Tug 41, Ocean Mistress, and she loves and excels at her job! I am completely delighted when we bring the boat into a difficult docking situation and make the perfect no-fuss, no-stress landing. I'm even more tickled when folks on the dock see Corinne come out of the pilothouse and are surprised to learn that she just docked that big boat. She has received everything from whispered compliments to standing ovations.
Whether you're a novice or an experienced boater, nothing helps build competence and confidence like boating courses and instruction. There's nothing like being out on the water, spending time with family and friends, letting the wind fill our sails and whisk us away to new adventures. Or if power is your preference, casting off and throttling up catch a few waves or discover a new destination.
Summer may be fleeting but the rewards of autumn cruising include a slower pace, quieter destinations, surprisingly good weather, and maybe even a few thrills. The full moon rose big and bright, its track shimmering across the water into our anchorage near the head of Salt Spring Island's Long Harbour. Golden lights winked on one by one in the cottages around the bay, reminding me that I wasn't completely alone. After a precious sunny, almost-warm late-autumn day, it was one of the most beautiful evenings I've ever spent on the hook. It was also one of the coldest, for we had yet to install a heater in our 27' sailboat Squid.
I've been a pilot for 37 years and spent 28 years flying passenger aircraft for the airlines – you can bet that the weather was always one of my foremost concerns. I've retired from the airlines, but my interest in the weather, in forecasting weather and in all of the available resources to help me plan a safe journey, are just as important as ever. It's still a matter of my personal safety, the safety of my loved ones and my friends, except now, I'm at the helm of my own boat.
Discipline is paramount in implementing a total starting strategy for each and every boat race. Without a sound understanding of the procedure by every team member on a boat, and allowing time to gather information before the start of every race, your chances of making well calculated decisions are substantially reduced. Many different sailors and teams have their own ideas and plans for the start of the race. The guide outlined here is a system that works well for me and you may find that modifying this works better for you – but the only way to establish this is to start practicing and sticking to a plan from the outset.

A number of weeks ago I received an e-mail from a Canadian who owned and operated a recreational boat in the U.S. The boat, for the most part, stayed in U.S. waters and was licensed in a U.S. State. The owner wanted to know where he could fly a Canadian flag to indicate his citizenship.
The simple answer was that he could not, if he was operating in U.S. waters.

Anti-Obama Sentiment Sweeps the Nation
Anti-Washington = anti-Obama.
2:30 PM, Mar 3, 2010 • By FRED BARNES
The same thread runs through Governor Rick Perry's smashing defeat of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison in Tuesday's gubernatorial primary in Texas, the elections of Republican Governors Bob McDonnell of Virginia and Chris Christie of New Jersey last fall, and the Senate victory of Republican Scott Brown of Massachusetts in January. It's an anti-Washington thread, for sure. But the core of it is an anti-Obama trend.
Consider this: What if President Obama had changed the way Washington does business, taken steps that actually improved the economy, offered a scaled-back, moderate agenda, and recruited a few Republican allies in Congress? Had he done those things, would there be a powerful, anti-Washington tide today? Of course not.
But Obama didn't do any of them, and within weeks of his inauguration in January 2009, anger against Washington began to build. First, it was the tea parties, then Republicans turned sharply against Obama and his agenda, and by mid-summer independents joined in.
This handed Perry a winning issue in Texas. He showed up at tea parties and became the champion of states against the encroachments of Washington and the surge in spending. "It's Texas versus Washington," a Perry aide said. And Hutchison, pretty conservative in her own right, became the candidate from Washington.
I'm not a defender of Obama, but it's true he was put in what would have been a tough spot for any president when he arrived at the White House. He had to deal with a deep recession. It's also the case the liberal base of his party (to which he belongs) was obsessed with cashing in on the economic downturn to enact a sweeping liberal agenda. And with their large majorities in the Senate and House, Democrats felt they didn't need many, if any, votes of Republicans.
So it would have taken a large dose of moxie for Obama to opt for more civility and bipartisanship in Washington and propose centrist policies. But if he'd done so it would have made a huge difference.
Take his promise to improve the political climate in Washington. Obama campaigned on the notion that he, alone among the presidential candidates, knew how to cure the Washington illness: the polarization and partisan fighting and gridlock and infestation of lobbyists. This is a promise he hasn't come close to redeeming. He's barely even tried.
On the economy, Obama let congressional Democrats draft the stimulus package with no input from Republicans (and no across-the-board tax cuts). It has been largely ineffective, nudging the economy a bit upward but leaving the country with 4 million fewer jobs than when Obama took office.
His agenda? Obama has indeed taken up issues on which the public wants solutions. But his proposals on health care, cap and trade, and other issues have actually alienated a majority of America. They're too liberal, too costly, and too Washington-centered.
It's an agenda that congressional Republicans were bound to oppose unless offered serious concessions. Obama has offered none, at least until his vague letter this week in which he said he might accept a few lesser Republican ideas on health care. Oh, yes, he lured three Senate Republicans to vote for his stimulus by slightly trimming its price tag. That's it.
Obama's relationship with Republicans has chiefly consisted of a few meetings in which he's reminded them he's president and they're not. He's offered them the opportunity to endorse Democratic legislation as written. Not much room for compromise there.
The victories of McDonnell and Christie were an unmistakable clue that the country was turning against Obama and Obama's Washington. McDonnell attacked the president and his policies and won in a landslide. With his appearances in New Jersey, Obama may not have aided Christie but he certainly didn't help Democratic Governor Jon Corzine.
Anti-Washington feeling is a constant in American politics. But what's different today is the breadth and intensity of ill will toward Washington. It's an anti-Washington mood of a much higher magnitude now. And Obama could have kept it from being that way.

Australian Marriage Equality National Convener, Alex Greenwich, said the story highlighted the respectful and loving way Mr Abbott has responded to his sister, and hoped her support would have an impact on him:
"Advocacy from loved ones is by far the most effective way of changing hearts and minds"
Mr Greenwich said Ms Forster coming out and declaring support for marriage equality will have an impact on the progression of the debate within the coalition:
"Ms Forster proves the point that this reform is about the importance of family, love, and equality, not politics"
"With a clear majority of Australians supporting reform, same-sex couples are more comfortable than ever in being public and proud. This will only increase, and blocking this reform will just get harder and harder for the Liberal Party."

New Army ammo: better, stronger, greener
Wednesday - 5/4/2011, 9:40am EDT
Green lighting, green energy, and now, green ammo! The Army will test its lead-free ammunition at a demonstration later this morning at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The "green" rounds have environmentally-friendly projectiles that could save up to 2,000 tons of lead a year the Army says. They have already been distributed to war zones. At the demonstration, the green ammunition will go up against old lead-based rounds to see how they perform

GOSH, here it is the week end again! I get up and it's Monday and before I know it is Friday again. Like my Grandma used to say, "TIME FLIES WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN".
The only thing that happened is we didn't really have that much fun. We stopped by the Daughter's house on the way home and you got it! The Hubby just had to say it, "what on earth has happened here"! Did the Easter Bunny had a fit here and drop all his Easter Eggs. You noticed he said HE, since when is the Easter Bunny a male?
I have never seen so much beauty in one place. Her Butter Cups were blooming all over the place. Mother Nature has really been busy. If you have flowers in your yard, I truly hope they are blooming. I guess she is trying to make up for all that bad weather we had this winter. I got a feeling she is going to have to give us a wonderful spring before we forgive her. I got a feeling everyone has her on their BAD LIST.
One other idea I will pass on to you, her trees seem to turn a sea of color. Out next to the road, she had little colored plastic Easter Eggs hanging from the branches. They are beautiful. I had never seen this before. She said she heard about it on television and thought she would try it. They just float in the breeze and make you just have a HAPPY FEELING.
But of course the smile left our faces when the Daughter said, man, "I am so glad you are here". She said the winter was so bad while we were gone that all these limbs were all over her yard. She thought it was wonderful that we dropped by to help her out with this next project. Of course the Hubby had to get in on the act and said, "You should have been picking up sticks" instead of hanging up Easter Eggs; for some reason that changed the moment real quick. I told him he could have talked all day and not said that!
You guessed it, out came the two wheel cart and I put on my gloves and we went to work. Now it is really beautiful. But there is only one problem. There is not a spot on me that does not hurt. I told both of them, "MY FAT HURTS". I won't mention what their reply was…..I am afraid the editor would edit it!
Well, the Hubby was such a wonderful trooper; I told him I would treat him to a steak at his favorite restaurant. He had to inform me that he knew I would say that, since they don't serve steak at his favorite restaurant. I forgot he loves McDonalds!
So we decided to treat the Hubby to a trip to Bass Pro. You know what that store sells. His face just lit up when I mentioned this.
We all jumped in the car and off we went down the freeway and all of a sudden the traffic stopped. We thought there was a wreck up in front of us. NO WAY, we found out that everyone was going to the same place we were. Finally after waiting forever to get off the freeway, we drove through the parking lot and you guessed it! NOT A PARKING SPACE TO BE FOUND. We noticed that even their extra parking lot was full. There was a travel trailer parked and they had their picnic table out and were having a picnic right in the parking lot. Of course, the Hubby said, "I HAVE SEEN IT ALL!" And with that we simply turned left and drove back on the freeway and came home. For some reason there wasn't as many cars going in that direction.
Of course we were so surprised. He said, "If all the parking spots are filled; guess what it looks like inside that store"!" Poor Baby, he's got a big case of SPRING FEVER. It comes around every year just about this time. It's just before the water goes down low enough that he can get out there and "WET A LINE". This is his favorite saying.
So if your Hubby is having an anxiety attack, just remind him he has all summer to catch all the fish in my absolute favorite LAKE MALONE.
I hope you enjoy every precious moment of spring. It comes only once a year. Then we have the RED HOT SUMMER. Bye Now!

Heath Herring On PRIDE Against UFC
Win or lose, Heath Herring will never stray from a 13-year credo: entertainment first, results second.
The Texas Crazy Horse has never had it easy, in Pride or the UFC. Hes faced enough top-ranked fighters for three mens careers. The difference between the two organizations, he says, is that entertainment is job security in Japan.
It was a whole different thing, said Herring. The fighters were pushed more to go out there and put on a good show. The UFCs definitely, if you dont win especially with the contracts they have theyll cut you with a loss. So I have had to change my mentality a little bit.
Given the mismatches that continue to dot the Japanese scene, not much has changed.
In Pride, I used to take fights on 10-day notice, one-week notice, he continued. And as long as you went out and put on a good show, you were fine. Youd be back next time. UFCs a little different. And I think the drawback of that is that sometimes you get really boring fights. You have guys that are worried about winning; theyre not really worried about putting on a show. I think youve seen that in the last couple of events in the UFC, and thats the double-edged sword.
For much of the decade, the 31-year-old has held a spot on Top 10 heavyweight lists. Hes fallen short to the divisions elite, but had many high-profile wins, particularly in his early Pride days.
Whatever the outcome, he believes fighting is about the show, or more aptly, the rodeo.

I have to say, I believe the opposite - the UFC seems to me like it endlessly delays the careers of slow and steady fighters while over-promoting KO artists with questionable skillsets.
Of course, the UFC does have essentially a two-person match making body from what I can tell, so it's not as though policies are hard and fast.

Pride's fights always were so much more exciting to me. Kicking to the head on the ground stops all that lie on your back bullshit (UFC ahem). The cage might make for a more realistic, and continuous fight...but it gets fucking boring all too often.
The UFC is oversold, as far and away the best fighting action...and it's just not true. Most of my favorite all time fights were in other promotions. That and the UFC's continued intellectual dishonesty about Fedor (on who's nuts I reside) makes them look kinda high school with it.

Well it is easy to have exciting matches with steroids, size mismatches and the like. The fact that we have yet to see someone come in from pride and do something amzing says something about ufc fighters...that said, I do think it is to a large extent a popularity contest (i.e. Rob Emerson during the TUF season and Kendal Grove after winning TUF).There is no cheating, there is only jiu-jitsu.

Suspect Zero
Just another serial killer thriller.
By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time"
The difference might be that Anthony Hopkins wants to be called "Tony," while Ben Kingsley demands to be called "Sir." Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Lambs" defined forever the serial killer as witty, charming, and lethal; Kingsley's Benjamin O'Ryan in "Suspect Zero" is none of those but seems to wannabe. Lecter doesn't need to seek respect; O'Ryan wants it badly.
"Zero" is not zero: It has moments of intelligence such as its twist, which is more like soft pretzel than a neck-breaking turn (Think of "Crying Game's" shocker as the apex). Although the Southwest American landscapes are well chosen for the bleak serial murders, E. Elias Merhige ("Shadow of the Vampire") directs without the subtle moodiness of his "Vampire": He overuses the intimate close-up and quirky angle to create a tension that Jonathan Demme did by keeping his camera at a distance from Lecter, much as we wanted to be out of fear and respect.
Aaron Eckhart plays FBI agent Thomas Mackelway, who has been demoted to the Albuquerque branch because of breaking the rules. He pursues O'Ryan while O'Ryan pursues him, and it's satisfying when these two fine actors interact, although too late in the film to save it from being just another serial killer thriller with gruesome illustrations on the bulletin board, maps to show a pattern, and, of course, messages from the suspected killer to draw Mackelway, shown in various stages of distress, to the murder sites.
What makes other thriller films such and "Usual Suspects" and "Memento" more successful is a combination of originality and intellectual interest, with a killer who engages our disgust and respect. "Suspect Zero" doesn't quite measure up, but Oscar-winning Kingsley gives it moments of intensity (Think of his unforgettable stare in "House of Sand and Fog") to make an enjoyable if forgettable film.
John DeSando teaches film at Franklin University and co-hosts WCBE's "It's Movie Time," which can be heard streaming at www.wcbe.org Fridays at 3:01 pm and 8:01 pm. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

If you are a temporary resident working in Australia, your employer has to make super guarantee contributions for you if you're eligible.
You can claim super benefits you accumulated while working in Australia if all of the following apply:
Your claim is generally for a 'departing Australia superannuation payment' (DASP).
Your super fund will be requested to transfer your super money to us if you haven't claimed it from the fund after a minimum period of six months since you left Australia and your visa ceased to be in effect. We will hold your unclaimed super for you until you claim it.
If you claim your super money, you may still return to Australia on another visa.
Who cannot claim a DASP?
If you are in one of the above categories, you have the right to retire in Australia, so you cannot claim a DASP. However, if you are a New Zealand citizen leaving Australia permanently, you may be able to transfer your super to New Zealand.

New Palestine Lions Club Hold Fundraiser for NPHS Marching Dragons
