The Hermès scarf process
By Molly Glentzer | October 4, 2012
Photo By HermesSee the painstaking work that goes into the making of an Hermès scarf at the Hermès' Festival des Métiers Wednesday through Oct. 14.

You may be amazed at the tiny stitches involved in making an Hermès purse, but the processes that go into creating an Hermès scarf, or carré, are mesmerizing.
1Each scarf starts from a design on card stock that later will be transposed onto silk. The life-size mock-up painted by hand is sent from the company's Paris ateliers to an engraver's station in Lyon.
2The engraver transfers the design, one color at a time, onto clear plastic films, each of which will become a single printing screen. For a scarf with 30 colors, this takes 400-600 hours.
3Each plastic film corresponds to a frame (polyester gauze with a micron-size mesh stretched over a metal chassis). The gauze is coated with photo-sensitive gelatin that prevents all but one color from passing through.
4Rolls of blank silk twill are unrolled and stretched over tables covered with adhesive.
5Frames are applied, one at a time, over each 90 square centimeters of blank silk, to layer on the colors. The printer starts with the "finesse," or outline pattern, then fills in colors from smallest to largest areas and dark tones to light tones. Slowly, the design reveals itself.
6The blanks are cut apart and hems are rolled and sewn by hand - with silk thread, of course.

I expressed some cynicism and negativity last year about a possible deal to free Gilad Shalit. I stand by that sentiment now that a bunch of loopy Shalit demonstrators are marching around the country.
For my readers from weird places like Albania and Canada, Gilad Shalit is an Israeli soldier who was serving near near Gaza four years ago when he was captured by Hamas and some other groups in a cross-border raid (I'm not entirely comfortable calling it a cross-border raid, since I don't consider the line there to be a border, but in any case the Israelis were on the Israeli side of it). Since then he's been held, presumably but not certainly somewhere in the Gaza Strip, with sporadic and teetering negotiations to free him in exchange for an insanely high number of mass murderers and enemies who've committed untold war crimes and assorted atrocities.
I don't think Shalit was a particularly good soldier. A soldier in the IDF should not let himself be taken into captivity. If he had been wounded so severely that he couldn't fight, like Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, I'd understand, but Shalit has been portrayed as walking across the not-border on his own two feet. If he could walk, he could fight; and if he had fought, we'd not be in the situation today that we are in.
Moreover, being captured by Hamas is not like being captured by an enemy state. They don't follow international conventions covering prisoners of war, because they are not a nation. There is no Red Cross that visits Shalit and brings him packages; he doesn't get to send any messages to his family. Every couple of years, Hamas produces some evidence that Gilad Shalit is still alive, but that's it. Undoubtedly, his situation is worse than death for himself and his family. Because Hamas is using Shalit to pressure Israel to release hundreds of enemy combatants who will continue to make war on us, resulting in hundreds or thousands of civilian deaths, his situation is worse than death for all of us.
When they let him be taken away by Hamas, Gilad Shalit's comrades in arms not only let down him and their unit and officers, but the general public and Gilad's own family by not shooting him in the back to prevent his captivity. It should have been a natural decision, written right into the rules of engagement for soldiers in posts like his, and should not have required soliciting opinions and permissions up the chain of command. It's wonderful to value human life, but what he has is not one.
The problem with this week's protest march, whose participants profess simply to want Shalit to be freed, is that it doesn't fool anybody. Its existence is a testament to how effective organizations like the Hamas really are. In reality, there are four options facing Israel's government with regard to Shalit:
- Try to use force to free Shalit.
- Kill Shalit and all the Hamas people near him with some sophisticated weaponry.
- Negotiate to free Shalit.
- Ignore Shalit and hope his family goes away.
If this were a normal country, the first two options would be employed in order. But since it isn't, they first tried Option 1, then went back and forth between Options 3 and 4 for the past few years. They may also have made another attempt at Option 1 in early 2009, but who knows? Why is everyone ignoring Option 2?
Today's protesters should all be ashamed of themselves. They're getting behind a cause entirely and purely out of emotions, but they don't stop to think about the consequences of their actions. They are babies without the ability to separate the justified sympathy they feel for Gilad Shalit's family with the sympathy they're going to feel for the civilian victims created by the enemy Hamas murderers freed by negotiations.
Update: it seems like some people agreed with me that negotiating to free Gilad Shalit is a terrible idea. But their activism with the stupid red strings is totally misguided and foolish.

OMG YOU'VE HEARD OF THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS?! You must be so musical! As we mentioned in the Study Breaks ACL Guide (see the October issue), there are a tonnnn of badass bands that--let's be real--you've maybe never heard of.And while there's nothing wrong with grabbing some glow sticks and gyrating on strangers (who, to put it TOTEZ discreetly, probably have Limp Bizkit's lyrics "Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'..." as their festival theme song) during Avicii or mentally masturbating to Jack White's sick-ass guitar skills on Saturday night, keep in mind that unless you stake out a spot hours earlier, you'll probably be doing all of that a football field-sized distance away from the stage. So definitely check out the headliners, but also consider grabbing a beer and checking out bands that are lesser-known. (BUT THAT I TOTALLY KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE I'M JUST SO HIPSTER AND AWESOME AND ONLY LISTEN TO BANDS IN THE SMALLEST FONT IN THE LINEUP...or because I'm an idiot and overdrafted paying for satellite radio. Whatever.)
*Note: This is essentially the same as the bands I recommended in our ACL guide in print. But you can't put videos on paper, so I'm repeating myself with some multimedia additions. Dealwiddit. *
Not to be confused with 50 Shades of Gray (which is a pretty bad book in itself--and yes, I'm re-using this line from the article we printed in the magazine), this is the brainchild of Andy Hull from Manchester Orchestra and singer/songwriter Andy Devine (accompanied by other bros of Manchester Orchestra). And their AMAZING album just dropped this week. I'm obsessing a bit. Bad Books=badass bros.
2. Die Antwoord
See, it's funny because I actually kind of hate this band (described by the totez credible source Wikipedia as a "futuristic rap-rave crew from South Africa who represent a fresh new style called ZEF") with a fiery passion that I usually reserve for the DMV and Hoobastank's "The Reason." However, they're just so damn weird and creepy that I can't resist throwing them out there so you can consider checking them out. It's a free country, and if you're a big fan of the phallic  and--uhh, jackets made out of rats (check this video I refuse to post)--then this band's for you. Don't say I didn't warn you.
3. The Wombats
Andddd we're back to bands that don't give me night terrors. These bros are British, badass and named after marsupials. Really, what's not to love?! High energy with great hair, this trio is sure to put on a blast of a show. I'm personally obsessed with the song "Kill the Director"--predominantly because there's a whole verse that consists of shouting "THIS IS NO BRIDGET JONES"...and because I like flaunting my terrible attempt at a British accent whenever possible.
Some may scoff at the seeming redundancy of this band's name (okay only the English majors) but WHATEVA. I caught them a few months ago and, at the time, had no fakkkking idea who they were. I then proceeded to dance my ass off and sweat literal (maybe not literal) BALLS. So. Much. Fun. How can you NOT enjoy a band that claims electronic as their genre but incorporates live drums and a freaking saxophone. Yeah...exactly.
For you folky folk, The Lumineers--along with The Avett Brothers, by the way--will be gracing stage at ACL for when you need a break from all the intensity (and you want to restore your faith in humanity post-Die Antwoord). Total feel-good music. Sway away, kids.
And stay tuned for part 2....

While there are several stories about the history of the Irish Claddagh ring, the common thread in all of these is the significance of the symbols used to create this iconic ring. The hands represent friendship, the heart love and the crown symbolizes loyalty. We used the motifs from the face of the Claddagh ring to create this personalized ribbon reflecting the Irish lore. We've added the lovely, kelly green custom ribbon to a pewter ornament crafted of hearts in the style of a Celtic Knot. The gorgeous ornament was created by etsy seller K & S Pewter. Your guests will treasure this reminder of your Irish culture presented to them on your special day.

PCRM Petitions Department of Defense to End Live Animal Use
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda, Md., is the country's only military medical school—and it's also one of the only schools that continues to use and kill live animals in medical student education. PCRM ramped up its campaign to reform medical education at USUHS by filing a petition for enforcement with the Department of Defense (DOD) on July 2. The petition asked for an end to animal use in the school's curriculum.
A DOD directive renewed in 2005 mandates that nonanimal alternatives be used if they exist. There are nonanimal teaching methods that achieve the educational goals for all of the animal labs offered at USUHS. Many of these alternatives are currently in use at the National Capital Area Medical Simulation Center, a state-of-the-art simulation center operated by USUHS.
According to the school's Web site and other documents obtained by PCRM, live animal use at USUHS includes:
- A live pig lab offered to third-year medical students as part of a surgery rotation. At the end of this lab, the pigs are killed.
- A physiology lab using live pigs, offered to first-year medical students. At the end of this lab, the pigs are killed.
- An intubation lab using live ferrets offered to third-year medical students. Ferrets can suffer fatal injuries during these labs.
- A parasitology lab using live gerbils, offered to students as a means of studying the disease filariasis. For this lab, the gerbils are killed.
- A medical zoology lab using live snakes.
The teaching methods used at USUHS impact medical student training at military facilities across the country. For example, Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio also offers a live pig lab (for third-year medical students as part of a surgery rotation) and an intubation lab using live ferrets (for third-year medical students).
The Washington Post, The Washington Times, the Associated Press, and the Montgomery Country Gazette covered PCRM's petition.
Only eight out of 154 allopathic and osteopathic medical schools in the United States still use live animals in their curricula. Take action now to help end the live animal labs.

MEDICAL equipment including German made Cy- Flow CD4 count machines will be purchased by American taxpayers' money if the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare approved such products.
United States Embassy in Dar es Salaam said in a statement while responding to the 'Daily News' questions relating to allegations that American influence is delaying government's evaluation and endorsement of CyFlow CD4 count machines made by Partec Essential Health.
"The USG supports the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in the national response to HIV. The MOHSW Laboratory Diagnostic Unit is responsible for evaluating and approving equipment to be used in Tanzania. Once approved the equipment is then supported by USG and other international donors as requested by MOHSW," said the statement.
Currently, only US made FACSCount CD4 machines are exclusively used in all public health facilities in the country although medical doctors argue that CyFlow is the most effective and cheapest technology used by many poor countries.
"Why should we continue using this expensive technology as a monopoly in public hospitals while a cheaper much effective technology is being deliberately barred from the market," wondered retired Chief Government Chemist, Dr Juma Madati.
Dr Madati who was a member of three experts appointed by former Health Minister, Professor David Mwakyusa to investigate allegations by the German company that a 2003 evaluation of CyFlow by the then Muhimbili University College for Health experts was sabotaged, argued that selfish interests are frustrating the exercise.
Dr Madati who wants CyFlow to be used in local public hospitals as it has proved successful in most developing countries pointed out that there is no reason to bar the German made equipment from the country. "Let's have this evaluation done fairly now and allow this technology get used in the country," Dr Madati argued.
But the US which remains one of the largest donors to the country's Ministry of Health, has distanced itself against any influence to keep out CyFlow. "Any other CD4 counters in Tanzania supported by the US government are MOHSW approved equipment. USG's policy is to provide support only to MOHSW-approved equipment," the statement stressed.
The statement noted that the US government supports procurement of equipment and health commodities manufactured from all over the world with procurement based on required product specifications as determined by the MOHSW, industry standard performance parameters, and price.
Partec East Africa Limited Chief Operating Officer, Joseph Khisa said he met with MOHSW officials in Cape Town, South Africa last November, and was requested to visit the country to discuss the subject.
Partec has just signed a contract with the Kenyan government to supply Cy-Flow CD4 counter equipment to all public health centrers in the country. Health Minister, Dr Hussein Mwinyi said recently that the government is looking into the issue of CyFlow seriously.

"When we have visitors to our winery," says Christopher Howell, winemaker and general manager at Cain Vineyard & Winery in Napa Valley, Calif., "I remind them of the most basic thing: that wine comes from grapes, that grapes grow in vineyards and that vines grow in dirt.
"Not all wines reflect the place where the grapes grow," Howell goes on, "but the more interesting wines do. We don't know completely why certain places make distinctive wines; we just know that they do. Differences in soil mean differences in flavor."
In last week's column, volcanic, alluvial and granitic soils spoke their piece about how soil affects the grapes that grow on them. This week, limestone, slate and schist have their day.
A rock or soil formed mostly from fossilized marine shells, limestone is the bedrock of some of the world's more significant wines, those for instance from Coonawarra, Australia; Tuscany, Italy; and France's Chablis, Champagne, Cote d'Or and many grand crus of the Alsace region.
Limestone is highly nutritive to vines but also accentuates certain characteristics in wine grapes, hence their wines. "Calcareous soil (another name for limestone) gives natural acidity," says Daniel Daou, who makes a number of wines in Paso Robles, Calif., under his name.
"It gives the best, the chalky tannins, to red wines," says Pedro Parra, a Chilean viticultural and terroir specialist.
Beppe Caviola, winemaker for Damilano, a Barolo producer in Piedmont, Italy, says that the limestone portion of the top-flight Cannubi vineyard contributes to its "finesse and elegance."
2010 Clos des Fous Pinot Noir "Latuffa" Traigen Vineyard Malleco Chile: From the southernmost vineyard region of Chile; very similar to a villages-level red Burgundy, all scents and savors of dark cherry, wet stone, Red Zinger tea, furry tannin and zippy acidity. $35
2008 Damilano Barolo Cannubi Piedmont Italy: Gorgeous nebbiolo, with unfolding aromas and flavors of rose petal, cocoa and dark fruit, chalky tannin and a snappy finish; sexily elegant, whispering its delights and perfume. $90
Slate (or its parent rock, shale) figures importantly in other great global wines, such as the incisive rieslings of the Mosel in Germany or as the major contributor to the ascending fame of the grenache-based reds of Priorat, Spain.
Slate clings to the precipitous slopes of the Mosel and augments that land's limited sunshine and warmth, retaining daytime heat, only to release it slowly during the evening and its setting light. In Priorat, studded with quartz, slate is called llicorella; rocky but also porous, llicorella forces its vines to search deep, down to 80 feet, for nutrients and water.
Slate also contributes its own texture in mixtures with other soil types, such as volcanic, clay or loam. Because it crumbles easily, it can provide vine root pathways through inhospitable soils. Most winemakers claim that slate contributes distinctive minerality to red wines, scents of wet black stone or moist cellar floor.
2007 Capafons-Osso Red Blend "Sirsell" Priorat Spain: A blend of mostly grenache and merlot, rendered super-rich and concentrated, but still smooth, seamless, lengthy on the palate; moderately tannic and a great buy for all that depth at this price. $25
In addition to being the most carefully pronounced term in geology, schist resembles both shale and slate in its dark hues but is harder and less prone to crumbling than either. You find it as the grounding to the great vineyards in the northern Rhone, the Argentine Andes and Portugal's Douro Valley; it's a vineyard underpinning throughout Provence, France; Germany; Spain; Tuscany; and California. It matters greatly to wine grapes in South Africa's Western Cape.
2009 Las Rocas Vinas Viejas de San Alejandro Garnacha Calatayud Spain: Beautiful garnacha character, especially perfumed; juicy, dark red fruits that both brood and lift; minerals in the finish. $15-$20
In the course of speaking about their soils with winemakers and vineyard owners for this and last week's articles, I met Pierre Seillan, who makes wine in Italy, France and California. He said, speaking in an analogy, "There are jewels in the soil, the nutrients, but they are locked inside a sort of 'safe.' To open the safe, you need a key. The key is the weather: the wind, water, sun, the elevation."
Seillan makes many wines, but he produces two 100 percent cabernet sauvignons from two vineyards that abut in Knights Valley, a mountainous site that straddles Sonoma and Napa counties. They are two distinct wines, even in the same year, because their soils are distinct and because their different temperatures "unlock" the jewels in their soils differently.
2008 Anakota Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Montana Vineyard Knights Valley California: Very rocky volcanic, dry soil; a warm site that ripens grapes into a plush, exotically perfumed cabernet. $60-$65
2008 Anakota Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota Vineyard Knights Valley California: A cool site with clay-laden volcanic soils; picked later than Montana, so more depth, more punch; dense, packed, powerful, many-layered. $60-$65
If your wine store does not carry these wines, ask for one similar in style and price.
Bill St. John has been writing and teaching about wine for more than 40 years.

Introduction by Ron PowersIncludes Newly Commissioned EndnotesArguably the first major American novel to satirize the political milieu of Washington, D.C. and the wild speculation schemes that exploded across the nation in the years that followed the Civil War, The Gilded Age gave this remarkable era its name. Co-written by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, this rollicking novel is rife with unscrupulous politicians, colorful plutocrats, and blindly optimistic speculators caught up in a frenzy of romance, murder, and surefire deals gone bust. First published in 1873 and filled with unforgettable characters such as the vainglorious Colonel Sellers and the ruthless Senator Dilsworthy, The Gilded Age is a hilarious and instructive lesson in American history.
Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, led one of the most exciting of literary lives. Raised in the river town of Hannibal, Missouri, Twain had to leave school at age 12 and was successively a journeyman printer, a… More about Mark Twain

New work by ceramics faculty at Simon's Rock Gallery
January 28, 2013
Contact: Karen Anderson
Bard College at Simon's Rock
Bard College at Simon's Rock: Affordable, Year-Round Culture in the Berkshires
GREAT BARRINGTON, MA—A ceramic sculpture exhibit featuring work by Ben Krupka, faculty in the arts at Bard College at Simon's Rock, opens Wednesday, January 30, 5:30 p.m. with an artist's talk and reception. The exhibition runs through February 22, 2013 in the Hillman-Jackson Gallery in the Daniel Arts Center.
According to Krupka, "This exhibition is the culmination of work produced during and after my first sabbatical, taken after 8 years as a ceramics professor at Simon's Rock." He spent his sabbatical as a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Montana from January - July 2012. The show is made up of several sculptural works as well as more traditional functional pieces such as cups and bowls. Tying all the work together are references to symbols and colors that have gained meaning to Krupka through his travels. He says this body of work explores "the fragility of the foundational certainties we build our lives on" by making references to umbrellas, houses, cages and wheels.
An Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Simon's Rock since 2005, Krupka has held several positions as a Visiting Faculty or as a Resident Artist, notably at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts in Montana and the University of Technology in Bangkok, Thailand. He has extensive experience in kiln building, three of which he has built at Simon's Rock to augment the ceramics program. Krupka's work has been showcased in several publications about ceramics and his work has been collected both by private collectors and public institutions.

Tales From The Golden Age
Hanno Höfer, Razvan Marculescu, Cristian Mungiu, Constantin Popescu, Ioana Uricaru, Directors
Romania, 2009 (Not Rated)
Romanian with subtitles (155 min.)
Sunday February 24, 2:00PM
Lexington Public Library Central Library Theater
The final 15 years of the Ceausescu regime were the worst in Romania's history. Nonetheless, the propaganda machine of that time referred without fail to that period as "the golden age"… Tales from the Golden Age adapts for screen the most popular urban myths of the period. Comic, bizarre, surprising myths abounded, myths that drew on the often surreal events of everyday life under the communist regime. Humor is what kept Romanians alive, and Tales From The Golden Age aims to re-capture that mood, portraying the survival of a nation having to face every day the twisted logic of a dictatorship.

Dove hunting season win-win for two counties
Brundy has noticed another trend that bothers him just as much.
"I'm seeing less local hunters and more out-of-town hunters than ever," he said. "But that's the same thing that's happening all over the country. We're not getting our youth involved in the outdoors. Some of it is attributed to economics. Moms and dads are working longer and harder to achieve the same things they once did. There's a 50 percent divorce rate, so there's more broken homes. And there's so much competition for kids' time. Computers, TV, all the different activities."
Like many in these parts, Brundy sells to a lifestyle. There's hay for horses, Purina feed and supplements, farm and ranch supplies for folks who have left city life behind.
Brundy's father, Walter H., who is 93, started this ranch more than half a century ago. Tom took over when his father retired at 62. Together with his wife, Mary Rose, 90, Walter Brundy took desert land and transformed it into an oasis. He planted more than 700 palm trees, farmed the land and made it adaptable for growing crops and attractive to wildlife.
Brana summed it best: "Without farmers like Tom, we wouldn't have the wildlife we have down here."

Last month Re/code's John Paczkowski reported that Apple plans to introduce its new iPhone models at an event scheduled for next month, and today Re/code's Paczkowski reports that Apple will also reveal its wearable product (i.e. iWatch/iBand) alongside the new iPhones:
Apple now plans to unveil a new wearable alongside the two next-generation iPhones we told you the company will debut on September 9th. […] The new device will, predictably, make good use of Apple's HealthKit health and fitness platform. It will also — predictably — make good use of HomeKit, the company's new framework for controlling connected devices — though it's not clear how broadly or in what way.

I had a conversation with Dave Cueto from U.S. Rep. Bill Enyart's office in Belleville regarding the legality of property tax per the U.S. Constitution. He was very testy, insisting the tax was legal under the Constitution.
I doubt that. I am not a lawyer, but I know the first people to reach these shores and establish the Constitution came here to get away from kings who forced people to pay tribute to a king who claimed ownership of all property.
Cueto said "no one owns property in this country." This is our congressman's man saying what we as mortgage payers eventually realize when we have our property confiscated by the overlords of the county. Even if you paid for it and built it with your own hands, you do not own it.
If Cueto is right and there is evidence that the Constitution says it is legal, which I doubt, the only possibility of who would conceive such a tax is a criminal mind bent on establishment of a Mafia-style government.
I understand that after you reach 62 years of age in Louisiana, you are not subject to any property tax. Whether the Constitution makes it legal or no,t this is the right way to treat citizens and Illinois tax addicts are dead wrong.

I know that this may sound weird, but I've always wanted to know how much money people earned on a monthly basis.
Don't get the wrong idea, I know that it's completely against the social norm, so I don't go around asking everyone how much money they make, but I know that there are many people that are in the same boat as me! There are hundreds of people out there that want to know exactly how much money other people are making.
If you're one of those people, I'm here to satisfy your curiosity!
I publish a report every single month. These reports go into detail about everything from important going ons in my life to updates on my projects…but most importantly, they break down my passive income earnings to the very last cent!
I break down EXACTLY how much passive income I earned during that month, and where that passive income came from.
So, what was December like in terms of this blog, online projects, and passive income?
Well…I guess that you'll have to continue reading to find out!
Before we get to the earnings, let's talk about what happened…
Published My 1000th InfoBarrel Article And Am Starting To Diversify With Squidoo
As you may know, from reading through my previous income reports, I make a few hundred dollars a month from the articles that I have published on InfoBarrel. Some of the articles that earn me money were published a few days ago, and some were published over 2 years ago…it's the beauty of passive income!
My original goal with InfoBarrel was to publish 1000 articles, and I achieved that goal in December! I am definitely proud of myself, but think that it's time to move on to a different writing platform.
I have heard tons of good things about Squidoo from other InfoBarrel members, and figured that I would give it a shot!
I published 16 lenses throughout the month of December, and plan on publishing many more throughout the next few months.
I figured that it was a good way to diversify my income streams and secure the amount of passive income that I am making. Right now, about 75% of my passive income is coming from my InfoBarrel articles…I want to bring that number down to about 25% by using other streams to increase the total amount of passive income that I'm earning!
Shifting My Adsense/Amazon Split
Previously, my InfoBarrel income was divided up in the following way:
- 80% from Google Adsense
- 20% from Amazon Affiliate
However, InfoBarrel released a new type of element that allows members to embed Amazon product widgets in their articles.
I spent a good chunk of December adding these Amazon product elements to my articles; this resulted in more Amazon sales and fewer Adsense clicks.
This shift lead to my InfoBarrel income being divided up in the following way:
- 51% from Google Adsense
- 49% from Amazon Affiliate
Basically, the overall InfoBarrel income stayed the same, but the split between Adsense and Amazon was even as opposed to being lob sided.
This is exactly what I wanted to happen. The last thing that I wanted was for 80% of my income to be from a single source!
Authority Site Update
I did virtually no work on my authority site during the month of December. My focus on writing InfoBarrel articles and Squidoo lenses on a daily basis, so I didn't really publish any new posts on the authority site.
I recorded and edited two different videos for the site's Youtube channel, but I'll be releasing them within the first two weeks of January!
My original plan for the authority site was to release a big product once I had hit some pretty big milestones! However, a recent meeting with Quinn from Cubicle Free opened m eyes to many possibilities!
He suggested that I release a small product much sooner than the original plan had entailed!
With that being said, December was a month of epic failure with regards to adding value and content to the authority site, but January and February will be amazing because I will be adding much more content, and getting ready to release a product!
Passive Income Earnings For December Of 2012
I liked earning passive income in December because it truly showed me how passive it was. There were days that I went shopping for Christmas presents, and came home to see that I had earned money while walking through the mall.
Let's see how much I earned throughout the holiday season…
- PPC Advertising
- Adsense: $167.76
- Chitika: $1.86
- Last Month: $250.42
- Difference: $80.80 (-)
- Affiliate Earnings
- Amazon: $157.10
- Last Month: $96.32
- Difference: $60.78 (+)
- Investment Income
- Mutual Fund Dividend (Re-Invested): $37.78
- Big Savings Account Interest: $12.94
- Small Savings Account Interest: $0.09
- Last Month: $21.09
- Difference: $29.72 (+)
- Miscellaneous Income
- Bubblews: $29.18
- Last Month: $22.86
- Difference: $6.32 (+)
- Last Month: $390.69
- Difference: $16.02 (+)
I had originally set a mini-goal to earn over $400 in passive income through the month of December in 2012, and I am happy to say that I achieved that goal.
And I actually overachieved it by $6.71
What I Will Be Doing In January Of 2013
January will definitely be a busy month in terms of my personal life because I will have a few important things going on throughout the month; however, I still plan on accomplishing many things.
I plan on:
- Publishing one post per week for this blog
- Creating a minimum of 20 more Squidoo lenses
- Publishing at least 3 more posts on my authority site
- Starting to write an ebook that will be sold on Amazon
One thing that I have learned after publishing the results of my 2012 goals is to set goals that leave some room for error. I used to set goals that could only be achieved if everything went perfectly and according to plan; however, we all know that this rarely happens!
The goals that I have set for January are achievable, even if some small things don't go perfectly!
December was a great month for me in terms of passive income…it yielded a slight increase over the previous month's earnings. How do you think that I did in December? What could I have done differently?

War hunto!
War hunto!
I'm pretty "meh" on the whole fight. It's a step down for Hunt, IMO.
Like FG, I assumed Hunt would pretty much do whatever he wants. Though the points others made (sorry, forgot who) about Nelson chasing the takedown against JDS were good. That said, I think Nelson's overhand right gets stopped short by Hunt's lead left hook.
I'm guessing Hunt tools him in the first, things get interesting in the 2nd. But Hunt wins. Probably a decision but I wouldn't be shocked to see Nelson TKO'd at this point.
This country overanalyzes everything all the time. This thread is an example. "It's a step down for Hunt" pfft. It's an awesome match-up for awesome fighters. Enjoy it!

Hot answers tagged javascript
Yes, exactly JavaScript. I just met such a worm and tried to decode it. What the actual problem is: The recent Facebook worm works by getting users to visit a page, which makes them insert a JavaScript string into their address bar and therefore executing it. So, DON'T EVER copy some JavaScript code into your address bar. That's the main problem. And ...
Was it jsFiddle?
You shouldn't - allowing JavaScript to run in a e-mail client would be a huge security risk. I originally said "you can't" but it's been pointed out that some clients will execute the Javascript. So, hopefully Gmail and Yahoomail don't allow scripting for this very reason. On a personal note, I think HTML in e-mails should be avoided to. What's wrong with ...
Another option besides jsFiddle is jsbin.com. You can even save your experiments under a public URL, so that others can view and edit your creation.
Just add .js to the end of the URL like this: https://gist.github.com/1522901/0f74d53b18060f6292db9dc4d6c1922f72aa2aaf.js
Why? The .NET version users have on their machines makes is immaterial. In fact whether they have .NET on their machine or not is immaterial. Any .NET code in your site is run server side not client side.
In short... it's a virus... like any other. The method it uses to replicate itself is to make posts on your account after being executed from someone else's page. Depending on the browser and/or operating system you're using, and vulnerabilities that it has, anything is possible. Basically, once the script is running within your browser (which can start ...
You cannot add JavaScript directly to your Google Sites page. You can, however add a Google Gadget that has JavaScript in it. You can try the Google Gadget Builder.

It may sound stupid but removing the content in both windows left and right and saving it as an template creates a blank state. If you want to have the original template back here's the data: JS if (document.getElementById('hello')) { document.getElementById('hello').innerHTML = 'Hello World - this was inserted using JavaScript'; } HTML <!DOCTYPE ...

Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools is probably your best bet. Chrome Developer Tools has a "pretty print" feature that allows you to deobfuscate JavaScript code, making it easier to read. You can get the same feature in Firebug by installing the JavaScript Deminifier extension, or you can just use JSBeautifier if you want to deobfuscate an individual ...
PollDaddy does this. Once you sign-up and create a poll you'll be given embed codes for different sites. If your blog is hosted on Wordpress.com, choose the Wordpress option, otherwise use the javascript embed snippet.

What's this?
It's refresh time for the Vanquish. Out goes the old six-speed 'box, in goes a new quick-and-smooth eight-speed auto from ZF. It's one of the best.
But it looks the same as always...
Bar some trim updates and new alloy wheels options, it has the same pretty face and lovely lines as before. Why mess with it? This revamp is all about the undergarments.
Such as the gearbox?
Correct. And new electronics, which means better emissions. So you're looking at a naturally-aspirated 6.0-litre V12 that produces 298g/km CO2 and might scrape 31mpg.
It's an Aston Martin. Who cares about emissions?
Fair enough. More excitingly, the new brains mean more power. So 0-62mph now arrives in 3.8 seconds, while top speed creeps over the double-tonne to 201mph.
What else?
The suspension has been stiffened by 15 per cent at the rear and 35 per cent up front. A bit of a shame, because the Vanquish suited a slightly softer setup, as we found out in Scotland recently.
Ferrari F12 vs Lamborghini Aventador vs Aston Martin Vanquish
Isn't it supposed to be a hairy monster?
If you lost concentration in the old Vanquish, you might have ended up in a cabbage field. This new version, even with these updates, still feels more like a big GT than a bitey racer. The new gearbox and electronics fit well with that progression. The suspension, not so much.

Asbestos is a group of minerals that have 'miracle-like' properties, hence their name in greek (miracle mineral). It has been widely used in construction for insulation purposes. The diverse group of minerals may be found in almost every house and building around us. From insulation of pipes and water heaters, to roof tiles, floorboards and indoor plumbing, asbestos is an everyday carcinogen which is now banned in most countries, including Lebanon.
Asbestos materials have the following advantages:
- Heat-resistant
- Electricity-resistant
- Sound-absorbing
- Tensile strength (can be stretched out into thin fibers without breaking)
- Flexibility
- Resistant to Chemical erosion
These properties come from the asbestos family's distinctive bundles of mineral fibers, that can be separated and used as thin strings of formidable material.
It has been well-documented that asbestos is a potent carcinogen, upping chances of lung cancer considerably, and promoting mesothelioma, a rare cancer that affects the membrane that surrounds chest and abdominal cavities. The reason asbestos is so harmful is because if inhaled, they tend to persist in the lungs for very long periods of time, with chronic inflammation and lung diseases as well as cancers the eventual result upon continued exposure to the carcinogenic fibers, which are 1200 thinner than a human hair.
Fortunately for mankind though, asbestos, if left intact and undisturbed (i.e. flies as dust into the air we breathe) is virtually harmless. Unfortunately for the Lebanese though, the July 2006 War sent millions of tons of asbestos fibers into the atmosphere which will not be immediately understood and assessed, but whose devastating effects will be felt decades and generations later.

NPR STUDY - Mitch Perry
According to a survey released today by the left-leaning media watchdog group FAIR - Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting, there is very little Public in Public Radio, and among partisan sources, Republicans outnumber Democrats on National Public Radio.
FAIR reports that Republicans not only had a substantial partisan edge, but that individual Republicans were NPR's most popular sources overall....., According
The study counted 2,334 sources used in 804 stories aired last June for four programs: "All Things Considered," "Morning Edition," "Weekend Edition Saturday" and "Weekend Edition Sunday." For the analysis of think tanks, FAIR used the months of May through August 2003.
Overall, Republicans outnumbered Democrats by 61 percent to 38 percent, a figure only slightly higher now, when the GOP controls the White House and both houses of Congress, than during a previous survey in 1993, during the Clinton administration.
Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting's Steve Rendall's is a co-author of the report.
(roll tape#1 o.q."or uninformed")
For the past few years, liberals have decried the seemingly one sidedness of much of much of radio as a host of mostly conservative voices......Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and others have derided the advent of a new liberal radio network on AM - Air America - saying that the left already has such a network - called NPR...But FAIR's Steve Rendall, who is also heard on WMNF and over 130 other stations across the country each week as the co-host of FAIR's weekly radio show Counterspin, says such comments are absurd
(roll tape#2 o.q." just about the same numbers")
But despite some newspaper headlines today in trumping FAIR's study, the co-author of the report, Steve Rendall, says FAIR is NOT saying that NPR is dominated by conservative voices (roll tape#3 o.q."of a liberal bias")
NPR spokeswoman told Newsday today, "This is America - any group has the right to criticize our coverage. That said, there are obviously a lot of intelligent people out there who listen to NPR day after day and think we're fair and in-depth in our approach."
FAIR's new study is now on their website....To read it, you would go on the Internet to www.fair.orgcomments powered by Disqus

The International Committee of Red Cross, ICRC, has said about 5,500 people were displaced as a result of the recent killing in Barkin Ladi and Riyom Local Government Areas of Plateau State.
This is just as President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, lifted the state of emergency imposed on 15 local government areas in some parts of North Central and North East geo-political zones at the height of incessant killings and destruction of property.
The Red Cross in a statement signed by Head of the ICRC Office in Jos, Julia Unger, yesterday, said over 25 villages were affected by the crisis.
ICRC said many of the displaced persons were in dire need of basic items for upkeep as many ran out of their homes with just the clothes on them and were taking shelter in places where such items were not available.
"People left their homes and ran to safety with only the clothes they were wearing. They need everything to survive in this kind of situation. They have urgent needs in terms of food, water and basic household items," it stated.
The statement said the ICRC had in collaboration with the Nigerian Red Cross Society, been assisting the displaced people currently taking shelter in schools, community halls and with some families.
It said under the collaboration, a month's food ration had been delivered to about 2,800 affected people alongside blankets, buckets, and other basic needs.
It added that 10 temporary sanitary facilities had been installed at some of the temporary abodes of the displaced persons while two hand pumps were being installed to boost access to water.
Dantong, Fulani dead on arrival--Hospital source
Meanwhile, the Chief Nursing Officer of Barkin Ladi Local Government where most of the victims of Sunday's attack were rushed to, Mr. Samson Nyam, has confirmed that late Senator Dantong and Fulani were already dead before they got to the hospital.
He told journalists that to the best of his knowledge, the two were already dead but the medical team still performed their professional duty of trying to resuscitate them.
"There was no life in late Hon. Fulani when he was brought to the hospital but despite this, we still tried to resuscitate him before we finally certified that he was dead. There was no way we could have carried out any treatment on him. What we did was to wheel him on a stretcher to the ward,"
He added that there was no sign of life in Dantong when he got to the hospital, adding: "We tried cardiac massage and the necessary things but it was too late. As a professional I observed him, the skin was cold, there was no life in him. When he was in the car he might probably be gasping, that I can't tell but when he was brought out of the vehicle and wheeled to resuscitating room, there was no life in him."
FG lifts state of emergency
Meantime, President Goodluck Jonathan has lifted the state of emergency imposed on 15 local government areas at the height of incessant killings and destruction of property in some parts of North Central and North East geo-political zones.
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, who announced the lifting of the ban said the decision was to enable "government put in place appropriate confidence building measures to improve security in the affected areas."
According to him,"the Federal Government has after a careful review of the security situation in the affected areas, resolved to end the state of emergency forthwith.
"In furtherance of the end of the proclamation, the President has accordingly directed that the implementation of the following regulations made pursuant to the proclamation of a state of emergency in the affected local government areas should cease forthwith.
"With the end of state of emergency, the appropriate authorities at the local and state government levels shall be responsible for the maintenance of security, law and order in the affected areas."
Govt assured on security
Government, however, assured that it will continue to work assiduously with relevant stakeholders to ensure security in the country and called for concerted efforts by all citizens to secure the country.
The local governments affected in Borno State include Maiduguri Metropolitan, Gamboru Ngala, Banki Bama, Biu and Jere LGAs, while those in Yobe State are Damaturu, Geidam Potiskum, Buniyadi-Gujba and Gasua-Bade LGAs.
Those affected in Plateau State were Jos North, Jos South, Barkin-Ladi and Riyom LGA while in Niger State, Suleja Local Government Area was affected.
It would be recalled that the state of emergency was imposed following the 2011 Christmas Day bombing of St Theresa's Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State.
The lifting came at the end of the six months approved by the National Assembly.

7 Dangerous Games Parents Must Know About
Many parents warn their children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Fewer parents, though, know that they should also warn against so-called "games" that are so risky they can lead to injury or death.
Teens frequently keep details about these games under wraps. Parents often don't hear about them until someone in the community is rushed to the emergency room or dies.
John Santelli, president of the American Society of Adolescent Health and a Columbia University pediatrics professor, says, "Adolescence is, developmentally, a time when young people experiment with cigarettes and other behaviors that aren't so smart for their health. Some of the consequences can be pretty tragic with these dangerous games."
Boys and girls both participate, to some degree. "Boys tend to take more risks, as do teens in middle school, although kids of any age may try," says pediatrician Jennifer Shu, MD. "They usually happen in groups where there is peer pressure."
For the safety of your own kids, it's important to make yourself aware of the details of these games.
1. Choking Game
This deadly "game" involves cutting off the oxygen supply to the brain through strangulation for a brief high. Some teens have done this using their hands or a noose either alone or in groups.
"There's no room for a learning curve," Alfred Sacchetti, chief of emergency medicine at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, N.J., says, "because the very first time, you can die."
Sacchetti, a spokesperson for the American College of Emergency Physicians, says, "The real danger with this is actually getting it right the first time. Now your impression is, 'I'm smarter than those people who killed themselves. They aren't as good at it as me.' You think, 'I can push it farther; I can set my noose tighter or longer. I bet I can get even higher.'"
A recent CDC study analyzed 82 probable Choking Game deaths nationwide over a period of 12 years. The study found that the average age of kids who died was 13, and those who died ranged in age from 6 to 19. Nearly all of them (96%) were playing the game alone when they died, even if they'd first played it with a group of friends. And 87% of those who died were boys. Most of the parents cited by the study (93%) said that they hadn't heard of the Choking Game until their children died.

Gnosis (from one of the Greek words for knowledge, γνώσις) is the spiritual knowledge of a saint or mystically enlightened human being. In the formation of early Christianity, various sectarian groups labelled "gnostics" by their opponents, emphasised special or secret spiritual knowledge as gnosis, over faith (pistis) in the teachings of the established community of Christians. These sectarians emphased that the most essential part of the process of salvation was this personal knowledge in contrast to faith in ecclesiastical authority. As such these break away groups were branded heretics by the fathers of the early church. The knowledge of these sectarian groups is contested by Eastern Orthodox Theology as religio-philosophical in nature rather then revelatory.
Spiritual knowledge or gnosis, as well as being discussed within the context of Early Christianity and Hellenistic culture (i.e. as Gnosticism), is also discussed within the context of other religious traditions such as Sufism of Islam and Theravada Buddhism. Gnosis is not exclusive to any sectarian group as the word is a Greek technical or dialectal term. Within the culture of the term, Byzantine and Hellenic cultures respectfully, gnosis was a special knowledge or insight into the infinite, divine, uncreated rather then insight into the finite natural or material world. Gnosis is a transcendent as well as mature understanding. It indicates direct spiritual experiential, knowledge rather than that from rational or reasoned thinking. Knowledge as in revelation and/or intuitive knowledge (see gnosiology).
In gnosis, as Jonas here explains, the relation between the human person as subject and the transcendent deity (God) as object is mutual where one knows and yet is known at the same time. This form of non-dualistic (Skt:Advaita) knowledge of the deity is described in religious and spiritual traditions throughout the world (see below). The apostle Paul describes it in his first letter to the Corinthians:
Here Paul uses the optical metaphor with his description of the saint's knowledge of God.
Gnosis is therefore not a concept exclusive to Gnosticism but was certainly emphasised by the gnostic philosophers as the summum bonum of the religious life.
Voegelin identified the root of the Gnostic impulse as alienation (from the works of Hans Jonas), that is, a sense of disconnection with society and a belief that this lack of concord with society is the result of the inherent disorder, or even evil, of the world. This alienation has two effects:
During the early formation of Christianity as a coherent body of doctrine a considerable amount of energy was devoted to weeding out what were considered to be false doctrines. The gnostics held views which were incompatible with emerging Catholic Orthodoxy. Among Christian heresiologists, the concept of false gnosis was used to denote different Pagan, Jewish or Christian belief systems (i.e. the Glycon) and their various teachings of what was deemed religio-philosophical knowledge as opposed to authentic gnosis (see below, Gnosis among the Greek Fathers). First and foremost of these groups was Gnosticism and other dualist systems from the 1st and 2nd centuries CE. These sectarian groups taught that the creator of the cosmos, referred to as demiurge (which is creator in Greek), was not the true God but a fallen being and even sometimes the personification of evil. This in specific was reference to the creator God of the Jewish old testament (Yahweh) and Hellenistic Pagan philosophy creator God (Zeus). The sectarians taught that the cosmic creator and ruler was a tyrant or despot some groups even accusing the creator of being Satan or evil. The cosmos that the "creator" had fashioned (see the Sethian and Ophite gnostic sects) was evil and or a prison. That the true God of these various sectarian groups was a purely spiritual God and did not fashion the material world. The followers of these various cults or sects were not called gnostics or followers of gnosticism per se, but were either named after the groups' various founders or the various religio-philosophical associations common at the time throughout the Mediterranean and Mideast. Gnosticism here not being a genuine belief system per se but more of a set of techniques (allegories or dialects) applied by the sects to counter established beliefs, held by the sectarians' respective targets. Syncretic in nature these sectarians through various exclusive associations sought to reconcile and or conform many of the Mediterranean and Mideastern religious traditions with their own religio-philosophical knowledge, or understanding. Much at the expense of the distinct qualities or uniqueness of each of their target traditions (see religious egalitarianism). Early Christian community leaders accused these multiple groups of fabricating various text (as a negative form of Declamatio), in order to undermine the teaching of the existing Christian community. Text fabricated to remove or counter aspects of the targeted communities' teachings that did not conform with the various sects pre-Christian religio-philosophical knowledge held by the sectarian groups. These techniques (dialects) were then countered by individuals of the targeted traditions such as Hebrew philosopher Philo of Alexandria (see minuth), the Christian Bishop Irenaeus (see On the Detection and Overthrow of False Gnosis) and later the Hellenic philosopher Plotinus (see Neoplatonism and gnosticism). These individuals, among others all condemned the actions, teachings and techniques (dialects) of these various groups as unethical, iniquitous and or amoral (see antinomianism).
In the teachings of Sri Aurobindo, the Gnostic being refers to the future supramental state of divinised humanity, living a spirit-filled existence. He speaks of a Gnostic Community, a collective Gnostic life that will establishe a gnostic Supernature. Author Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet discusses the Gnostic being and the 'rise and establishment of a Gnostic society' in terms of the Supramental Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother of Pondicherry.
The word gnosis is actually cognate (from Proto-Indo-European) with Sanskrit jnana. In Theravada Buddhism the word for gnosis is añña (lit. 'highest knowledge') which is again from the same root. Similarly, within the context of gnosticism, the word gnostic may refer to a follower of one of the gnostic sects or may be used as equivalent to the term pneumatic, that is to say one who has attained gnosis. Outside the context of gnosticism gnostic is often used in this latter sense. This is comparable to the term Jnani in Sanskrit and Hindi meaning one who has attained jnana. It is interesting to note in this context that in the Forest Sangha tradition of Ajahn Chah the word Buddha (technically meaning one who has awakened) is taught as meaning 'one who knows'.
Gnosis is synonymous with equivalent terms in other spiritual/mystical traditions. Examples include:

Some of Logitech's gaming peripherals will soon be collectors' items. In an effort to cut costs, the company said this week that console gaming peripherals no longer fit with its strategic direction.
"As a result, we have initiated the process to divest our remote controls and digital video security categories, and we plan to discontinue other non-strategic products, such as speaker docks and console gaming peripherals, by the end of Calendar Year 2013," the company said.
Logitech total sales for its latest quarter hit $615 million, down 14 percent from the $715 last year. The company posted a $195 million net loss for the quarter, compared to a profit of $55 million during the same period last year.
Logitech's current gaming peripheral lineup includes various mice and keyboards, wheels, headsets, joysticks, gamepads, and accessories.
A company representative confirmed with GameSpot today that all PC gaming mice, keyboards, and headsets will continue to be sold and are in fact a "key focus for the company."

How do you know this? You seem to be basing this on the fact that animals can't speak to us in a way we can understand. That doesn't mean they don't have complex though processes.
Mr Walker, on 11 January 2013 - 05:01 AM, said:
You should come to my place and watch our cat Crackerjack interact with our cat Merlin. Merlin is the second newest cat we got and Crackerjack HATES him. None of the other cats have any issues with him, so it's not that she senses something inherently wrong with him, i.e. an illness. She just hates him. She doesn't hate any of the other cats, including the newest cat Minou. Crackerjack was the first cat we got, and over the years we added 9 other cats (we're down to 6 now) and she NEVER acted this way towards any of them. What biological advantage would stalking and attacking him have to her? They eat in separate rooms as they are on different food, so it's not that. She is clearly the alpha cat and the others know it, so no reason to keep beating it in to him. Minou actualy challenges her way more than Merlin does, so why is she not attacking her?
And going back to my Tonks & Rye story - why did Tonks mourn for Rye if she didn't love him? She didn't mourn when our cat Artemis died and she got on quite well with him. What biological advantage would mourning the loss of Rye have to her?
