CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY VICTORIA TAULI-CORPUZ CHAIRPERSON ADDRESS TO THE OPENING OF FIFTH SESSION OF THE PERMANENT FORUM ON INDIGENOUS ISSUES New York, 14 May 2007 H.E. Ambassador Haya Rashed Al Khalifa, President of the General Assembly, H.E. Ambassador Dalius Čekuolis , President of the Economic and Social Council, H.E. Ambassador Luis Alfonso de Alba, Chair of the Human Rights Council Distinguished Members of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, Distinguished observers from Member States, Indigenous Peoples' Organizations, the Inter-Governmental system, non-governmental organizations, the academia and the media, indigenous sisters and brothers, It gives me a great pleasure to welcome you and address you today at this sixth session of the Permanent Forum which has devoted its special theme to the "Territories, lands and natural resources". Let me first pay my respects to the Onondaga Nation and Peoples who are the original inhabitants of this land and to thank them for having us here again. Land, territories and related resource rights are of fundamental importance to indigenous peoples since they constitute the basis of their economic livelihood and are the sources of their spiritual, cultural and social identity. Land is the foundation for the lives and cultures of indigenous peoples all over the world. Without access to, and respect of their rights over their lands, territories and natural resources, indigenous peoples' distinct cultures, and the possibility of determining their own development and future, become eroded. It is therefore not a surprise that the right to land and natural resources is a key demand of the international indigenous peoples' movement and of indigenous peoples and organizations everywhere. It is also not a surprise that most local and national indigenous peoples' movements emerged from struggles against policies and actions which undermined and discriminated against their customary land tenure and resource management systems, which expropriated their lands, which extracted their resources without their consent and which led to their displacement from their territories. It is therefore proper for us to pay tribute to our ancestors and to thousands of indigenous activists and leaders who sacrificed their lives in defense of traditional lands and territories. Let us have one minute of silence to remember them and to thank them. Highlights of the Session Let me now give you some highlights of what is new and how this year's session is going to address the theme and mandated areas of the Forum. 2 One new development is that the Forum has now an additional category of participants which is indigenous persons who are members of parliaments. Several indigenous parliamentarians from various countries are present with us today. Another new thing is that for this session, we have three Special Rapporteurs on human rights who will be speaking before us within the week. There are various reports that will feed into this session including the International Expert Group Meeting on the CBD international regime on access and benefit-sharing and the human rights of indigenous peoples and the report of the annual session of the Inter-Agency Support Group on Indigenous Issues, focusing on the theme "development with identity" and the IASG paper on lands, territories and resources. Many members of the IASG have submitted very interesting reports on how they have implemented the recommendations of the Forum. Some governments also have submitted reports. The Permanent Forum Experts also prepared technical papers on "Indigenous Traditional Knowledge", on "The impact of oil palm plantations and other monocrop plantations on indigenous peoples' land tenure and resource management systems and livelihoods" and "The Implementation of the Human Rights Mandate of the Permanent Forum". I urge you to spare some time to read these reports and comment on the conclusions and recommendations of these in your interventions. Before this session the Arctic and Asia indigenous peoples' regional caucuses held their own seminar-workshops on lands, territories and resources and the reports form part of this session's documents. You will also get the reports of the regional expert workshops on indigenous 3 peoples' indicators of well-being, poverty and sustainability which were held in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Other highlights of this session include; The participation of a 12-year old indigenous artist Rebang Dewan, a Chakma from the Chittagong Hills of Bangladesh who is the winner of the logo competition of the Permanent Forum and his design appears in the new folders and other publications. A half-day discussion on Urban Indigenous Peoples and Migration. While the majority of indigenous peoples worldwide still live in rural areas, they are increasingly migrating to urban areas, both voluntarily and involuntarily. The report of the International Expert Meeting on Urban Indigenous Peoples and Migration, held in Santiago end of March 2007 will feed into the discussion of this session. This meeting was co-organized by UN-HABITAT, ECLAC, OHCHR, SPFII, in cooperation with IOM following a recommendation of the Forum. The meeting was made possible with the funding by the Canadian Government. There will be half-day regional focus on Asia. Speakers include representatives of inter-governmental institutions and international financial institutions working in Asia (e.g. the Asian Development Bank), ILO, IFAD and a representative of the Asian indigenous peoples' caucus. The meeting will identify achievements and challenges in regards to indigenous peoples' issues in the Asian region. The discussion of human rights will take place with a dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on human rights and fundamental freedoms of 4 indigenous people, Mr Rodolfo Stavenhagen. Two other Special Rapporteurs of the Human Rights Council will also be present, namely the SR on violence against women (Mrs Yakin Erturk) and the SR on trafficking (Ms Sigma Huda). Also, this year, the Permanent Forum will focus a central part of its session on the implementation of its recommendations of previous sessions, especially those it adopted regarding indigenous peoples and the MDGs, in 2005 and 2006. Various reports will feed into this evaluation such as those submitted by the UN system as well as a number of papers and desk reviews. I should also mention that a database, which is kept updated by the SPFII, on the implementation of recommendations of the 2006 session is posted on the SPFII website, www.un.org/esa/socdev/unpfii). I now want to turn briefly to the Second International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples from 2005 to 2015 which was adopted at the Fifty-Ninth Session of the General Assembly (Resolution 59/174) on 20 December 2004, Subsequently, the Programme of Action for the Second Decade was adopted at the Sixtieth Session of the General Assembly (Resolution 60/506) on 29 November 2005. The theme for the Programme of Action is "Partnership for Action and Dignity". Of course, these resolutions are direct results of the lobbying work of indigenous peoples and the recommendations from the Permanent Forum and the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations. These two resolutions reaffirmed "...that States should, in accordance with international law, take concerted positive steps to ensure respect for all human 5 rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous peoples, on the basis of equality and non-discrimination, and recognizing the value and diversity of their distinctive identities, cultures and social organization." These defined the goal of the Decade which is the further strengthening of international cooperation for the solution of problems faced by indigenous peoples through action-oriented programmes and projects, increased technical assistance and standard-setting activities. One of the major issues for 2007 is the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which was adopted by the Human Rights Council, the United Nations' main human rights authority, during its first session in June 2006. The Declaration is the result of many years of discussion and negotiation among the states members of the Human Rights Commission, with the active participation of representatives of the world's indigenous peoples. As I stated in my address on International Human Rights Day in December last year, indigenous peoples were shocked and deeply disappointed at the decision of the General Assembly to defer the adoption in November last year. The Declaration stands as one of the most extensively discussed and negotiated texts in the history of the UN with the full participation of indigenous peoples, a process for which the international community should stand proud. This Declaration represents the minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of indigenous peoples. Many still live under the most oppressive and marginalized conditions and yet they are also the ones who are providing solutions to serious world problems such as climate change and the erosion of biocultural diversity. 6 I am glad that H.E. Haya Rashed Al Khalifa, the President of the General Assembly, is with us today and I take this opportunity to humbly appeal to you to do everything possible to have the Declaration adopted before your term ends. I was made aware that there are amendments to the Declaration adopted by the Human Rights Council which may be the brought before the General Assembly. I think that the only chance for the Declaration to be adopted is by ensuring that the HRC-adopted version will be the one which will be subjected for voting, not a text which mangles the Declaration beyond recognition. The fate of this Declaration is in your hands and the governments who are here in this hall today. In closing, I would like to reiterate my thanks to my co-members of the Permanent Forum for their confidence in me to steer this year's session again and for being such good team players. I also would like to thank our Secretariat, who have been tirelessly working to prepare for this session and together with the Forum experts, to contribute in fulfilling the Forum's mandate and implementing some of its recommendations. The Forum members have engaged with various processes at the national, regional and international level to raise awareness on issues important for indigenous peoples. We are also trying hard to promote a human rights-based approach to development as well as facilitating indigenous peoples' participation in various processes which have impacts on them. However, the effective participation of indigenous peoples in designing and implementing policy remains as a key challenge. I would also like to thank the representatives of indigenous peoples' organizations and nations, the members of the Inter-agency Support Group on 7 Indigenous Issues and the governments who, likewise, have done their share in helping implement the Permanent Forum's recommendations. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the indigenous peoples of the world who relentlessly pursue their struggles for their rights and dignity and their own development visions and priorities. Many of you have traveled far from home to participate in this Session. Let us all work together to make this session meaningful for you and your peoples. -ends- 8

Anyone can book the student version of Aakash tablet whether they are students or not.
DataWind, the Canadian company that is manufacturing Aakash, has started the online booking and pre booking of the much anticipated low cost Android tablet. Online booking is for students� version of the tablet and pre booking is for UbiSlate 7, the upgraded version of Aakash.
Students� version of Aakash will be available for Rs 2,500 and will be delivered in seven days. The commercial version, UbiSlate 7 is priced at Rs 2,999. The payment mode for both the tablets is cash on delivery.
The commercial version of Aakash tablet will be powered by Android 2.3 and will have a resistive touchscreen, Cortex A8-700 MHz processor and graphics accelerator HD video processor, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of internal memory.
Other specifications are a one standard USB port, 3.5 mm audio jack, a 7 inch display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution, resistive touchscreen, GPRS and WiFi support.
"The improved version of Aakash tablet will be available in retail outlets by January end," a spokesperson of DataWind told The Mobile Indian.
The tablet was to be made available in retail stores by the end of November. �The delay in the availability of the tablet has been due to upgradation in the tablet and some unforeseen delay in manufacturing," the spokesperson said.
To book and prebook student and commercial versions respectively of Aakash tablet, users have to visit DataWind�s website and fill up the required form. In case of booking they will get a booking ID and a message which will state, �You will shortly receive an email confirmation from our support team with further details.�
In case of pre booking users will get a confirmation message which will state, �The commercial version of the Akash UbiSlate 7 would be launched in early weeks of December. After the commercial launch we would get in touch with you to deliver your device as soon possible.�
As a matter of fact, the confirmation message a reader will see is factually incorrect as The mobile Indian had reported earlier the Aakash tablet will be available only by January end.
Datawind has however not cleared how it is going to establish the identity of students who will book the cheapest version of Aakash tablet. When The Mobile Indian contacted spokesperson of Datwind he said, �Anyone can book the student version of Aakash tablet.�
This defeats the purpose of providing students an affordable tablet as now anyone can place an order to get the tablet. Interestingly, now it has been revealed that the government has procured only 10,000 Aakash tablets for distribution in schools and colleges of the initial 1 lakh proposed.
It looks like the company was in a hurry to start the online booking process and has not done not proper homework before staring it.
Moto G 3rd Gen and OnePlus 2 are not the only phones to be launched this week. Check out what others have made it to the Indian market.
The Dell Venue 7 3741 has SIM calling facility and it offers an Intel quad core processor.
The upcoming Coolpad Dazen Note 3, as per the company, will be the cheapest smartphone in India with fingerprint sensor.
Unlike the other variants, two of the new models of Zenfone 2 will have 2 GB RAM but brings nifty camera features.
Moto X Play will start selling from August and the Moto X Style will hit the markets in September but there is no information about their availability in India.
At 5.9 mm thickness this is the thinnest smartphone of Samsung but is not the thinnest handset of the world.
Earlier in May this year itself, Vodafone had announced to start 4G trial in five circles Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Karnataka and Kerala.
There have been several interesting phones launched this week, especially in the budget.
The offer is available in all circles of Aircel but at different price points.
On top of that, you could avail Rs 2,000 discount if you exchange your old smartphone for the Moto E (2nd Gen) on Flipkart.

Maxis has just added the Honor 4X to its device bundles, allowing you to get the RM619 device from as low as RM99 when you sign up for a contract with the telco.
Great news for Digi subscribers who are residing in Johor Bahru, the telco recently announced that its 4G LTE connectivity is now available in the state. This is in-line with the telco's commitment to fast track LTE rollout nationwide, following the recent launches in Sabah, Sarawak, and more locations in Klang Valley, with more areas to follow.
Celcom Unveils the Secret of its Xpax Magic SIM – Free Basic Internet, Free High Speed Internet, Miracles and More
Celcom Xpax has finally taken the curtains off its Magic SIM. If you're one of those who have been wondering just what this SIM is since the telco started teasing it about a week ago, here it is. Xpax Magic SIM offers a slew of magic and miracles such as free internet, free calls and SMS, and more.
Digi is currently having a promotion that offers 50% more internet with its Mobile Internet Package for its prepaid subscribers. On top of that, it also comes with unlimited Facebook, WhatsApp and WeChat.
Want to get more than what you pay for? Hotlink's ReloadPlus is celebrating this Ramadan by offering twice the data, free calls and SMS, and free KFC meals.
U Mobile recently introduced a new prepaid plan, UMI 25, that comes with 1GB of data and bears the same benefits as its existing #GetClever plans such as low call rates, and free calls everyday.
For those of you who wish to get an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, did you know that you can easily save a couple hundreds of Ringgit from Maxis' trade in program? Sure, the trade in value they offer for the listed phones may not be as competitive as what you can get from the market, but with a minimum rebate of RM200, here's how you can make the most out of the deal.
Trading in your old phone to buy a new one from our local telco is definitely becoming a thing. U Mobile now has a trade in program that gives you rebate for your old phone to buy any devices it offers, or if you wish to get an iPhone, you can get an even better value. What makes this trade up program even more attractive is that U Mobile is also offering this to Prepaid iPlan subscribers.
The all-new Digi SmartPlan that was introduced two months has just gotten smarter, for SmartPlan 50 and SmartPlan 78 High Data plans at least. For a limited time, Digi is offering 1GB extra data for those who sign up for these two plans.
Back in 2013, DiGi and Deezer have partnered together to deliver music streaming service to the telco customers. Under the partnership, selected DiGi postpaid plans come with free Deezer Premium+ subscriptions which offers unlimited access to around 35 million songs in its catalogue on computers, tablets, and smartphones.
However, this will come to an end on 31 May though according to a mass SMS (as shown above) that DiGi sent to its customers yesterday.
In conjunction with Digi's launch of 4G LTE in 1 Utama, the telco is currently having a roadshow in the mall, offering some pretty sweet deals for its device bundles. Get the Xiaomi Redmi 2, Honor 6 or Samsung Galaxy A5 for free, or get the Samsung Galaxy S6 at only RM999 – these prices are significantly lower than what the telco is currently offering on its online store.

Just wanted to warn others regarding Amazon Lockers (which are an otherwise amazing service by the way), to ensure that the lockers are free from all obstructions before entering the pickup code.
Went to pickup and item yesterday and some oik was hovering/leaning on the locker doors, didn't really think anything of it until I entered my code, heard the beep and nothing - yes, out of all 30 some locker doors the one that had just popped was being leant on by Johnny boy.
Worse, it that the code becomes invalid immediately after it is entered - such an oversight in my opinion and completely unnecessary. Surely this can't be the only situation where a locker door is shut before the item is removed?
It also seems that Amazon custom services on the freephone number, although extremely polite, are unable to open the door remotely. I was first told I could re-use the same code the next day, which didn't work and then told they had 'run out of codes for that locker'. Extremely frustrating to be 30cm away from the item two days in succession only to return home, where it is now being sent to while the parcel stuck in the locker is returned.
I am loathed to leave feedback for individuals as I know that probably goes in some performance review somewhere whereas to my mind this is an oversight in the system.
Here's hoping someone important enough reads this and fixes the issue and in the meantime ensure the locker is free from loitering toerags before entering your code!

Dr. Dre Releasing N.W.A. Film-Inspired Album This Week, Ice Cube Says
Photo by Natalie Kardos
The N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton comes out August 14. In a new interview with Philadelphia radio station Power 99 (pointed out by Consequence of Sound), Ice Cube said that Dr. Dre is dropping a new album inspired by the film this Saturday, August 1.
"It's mega, you know, it's Dr. Dre, it's what everybody been waiting for," Ice Cube said. "It's definitely a dope record, and he's dropping it all on the same day. It's crazy."
Earlier this month, director F. Gary Gary told MTV that Dre had enlisted Kendrick Lamar and Eminem for the film's soundtrack. It's unclear if the soundtrack and the Dre album are the same release.
In the Power 99 interview, Cube also talked about the rumored N.W.A. reunion tour. "Yeah, there's a possibility for sure," he said. "We've definitely been talking about it. It's just really about promotors coming to the table and we put together something that works for everybody. It's definitely, definitely possible.
Watch the Ice Cube interview below, along with the film's trailer. In the interview, his comments about the tour and album start at the 10-minute mark.

Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" Chanted by Protesters During Cleveland Police Altercation
Photo by Jessica Lehrman
On Sunday, protesters in Cleveland were filmed chanting Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly cut "Alright" during an altercation with police, as FACT points out. You can watch footage below.
As ABC 5 Cleveland reports, attendees of a Black Lives Matter conference at Cleveland State University confronted transit authority police arresting a 14-year-old for allegedly being intoxicated on a bus. After the crowd blocked the street so that the police cruiser couldn't leave, the police responded by using pepper spray.
The police released a statement saying the 14-year old was treated by an EMS unit and later released to the custody of his mother, according to ABC 5 Cleveland.
In June, Kendrick performed "Alright" at the BET Awards while standing on a vandalized cop car. After Fox News pundits claimed the performance "incites violence", Kendrick responded, "How can you take a song that's about hope and turn it into hatred?"

"The visual language naturally led to borrowing heavily from Traditional Asian Art, including miniature paintings from the Mughal period to create multiple dreamscapes, and ended up being a sexually charged riot with a fair dose of humor and symbolism," Jahson told Rolling Stone, "

Neil Young Removes Majority of His Music From Streaming Services
Earlier this month, Neil Young said he intended to remove his music from streaming services. "I don't need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution," he wrote. As of today, it appears that Young has made good on his promises, as Variety reports (via Rolling Stone). The majority of his albums and songs have disappeared from streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Rdio.
There are some exceptions. The albums that Young produced in the 1980s for Geffen Records—1982's Trans, 1983's Everybody's Rockin', 1985's Old Ways, 1986's Landing on Water and 1987's Life—are still available. Young was famously embroiled in a legal dispute with Geffen over the release of these albums, which the label said weren't "musically characteristic" of his sound. But for the most part, his music is gone—a big bummer if you were looking for a "Harvest Moon" fix to get through the day.
Previously, Young indicated that he'd reconsider the decision to remove his music should the audio quality improve. "When the quality is back, I'll give it another look," he wrote. "Never say never." For now, Young enthusiasts might want to think about embracing Pono.
Grimes Pens Love Letter to Star Wars
Photo via Grimes' Instagram
Grimes has penned a love letter to the Star Wars film franchise in the new issue of LOVE magazine. In the text (reproduced by NME), Claire Boucher praises the series' visual innovations ("they smeared peanut butter on lenses to make the cars look like they were floating"), costuming ("Chewie definitely seems like an actor in a suit, which I find less jarring than a CGI character"), casting ("Gwendolyn Christie and Lupita Nyong'o are two of my favourite actresses, and neither made her name doing something overtly feminine or sexualised"), and droid characters: "C-3PO has always been a personal favourite of mine. I really relate to his fear of death."
Of the droids, she adds:
Rewatching the movies as an adult, C-3PO's stuttering humanity is a great foil for the violence and intensity of the films. Almost any scary or violent scene is mitigated by a worried awkward robot complaining about safety. And, as with Artoo, you are never really sure of C-3PO is male or female – and with programming he or she could really be any age. There's a lot of room for the audience to project onto either droid, which is probably another reason why the films have such broad appeal.

Yoko Ono Collaborates With Death Cab for Cutie, tUnE-yArDs, Sparks, More on Yes, I'm a Witch Too

Drake Shares Another Meek Mill Response, "Back to Back Freestyle"
Photo by Pooneh Ghana
On Saturday's installment of "OVO Sound Radio", Drake premiered "Charged Up", his response to Meek Mill's claim Drake used a ghostwriter for his verse on "R.I.C.O." from Meek's new album Dreams Worth More Than Money. Today, following a screamed 15-second response from Meek yesterday, Drake has shared another diss track via Twitter, called "Back to Back Freestyle".
Referring to Meek's current spot on Nicki Minaj's "Pinkprint Tour", Drake raps, "You love her then you gotta get a world tour/ Is that a world tour or your girl's tour?/ I know that you gotta be a thug for her/ This ain't what she meant when she told you to open up more." Hear the full track above.
The song came accompanied by a photo of Toronto Blue Jay Joe Carter's series-winning home run in the 1993 World Series. The team they beat? The Philadelphia Phillies. (Meek is from Philly.)

Kanye West Did Not "Storm Off," Cut Pan Am Games Performance Short
Photo by Erez Avissar
Kanye West performed during the closing ceremony of the Pan American Games in Toronto. Following the set, a few news stories were published claiming that he "stormed off" and "abruptly cut his performance short" due to his frustration with technical difficulties. Pan Am have released a statement to clarify that West didn't cut his performance short or, in their opinion, behave unprofessionally.
Here's the statement from Pan Am representative Neala Barton:
"As this was a live broadcast, Kanye West was always scheduled to perform for 13 minutes. He fulfilled this commitment in great style and while there was technical difficulty at the end due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, he rolled with it the way great artists do. To imply that he abruptly cut short his performance or that he was anything less than professional is incorrect. We could not have been more thrilled."
So yes, West threw the mic in the air and walked off stage following some technical difficulties, but apparently, that performance was already over. Watch footage of the incident below via Jezebel.

Grimes Discusses New Album
Photo by Daniel Cavazos
Grimes is on the cover of the latest issue of Fader. In the cover story, Claire Boucher discusses the creation of her new album (which she has said will arrive in October) and some of the ideas that informed its songs. She also clarifies that whole "Grimes scraps album" narrative.
The entire feature is well worth a read. In it, she discusses the creation and aftermath of Visions, her at-home dynamic with James Brooks, life in Los Angeles, her experience writing for other artists, the exhaustion that comes with extensive touring, and the music industry's intrinsic sexism.
Boucher says the new album comes from a different emotional place from her previous work.
"They're not all diss tracks, but there's a lot of diss tracks. ... I think all my other albums were, like, sad. And this time it's more happy and angry. I live in my own house that I pay for. I bought all this equipment myself. I control my own life now. No one has any say over what I do or where I go or when I do it."
Here's what we know about the album:
- There's a song called "Flesh Without Blood".
- She wrote a "diss track about male producers," which is "about a guy who acts like he knows everything and then comes back crawling on his knees, which has happened to me so many times."
- One song is about being "too scary to be objectified" and will feature three female MCs.
- She learned to play and self-recorded guitar, drums, keys, ukulele, and violin.
- She tracked most of the album at home, though for vocals, she shared a studio with Blood Diamonds (who was working on his own music).
Boucher also says she's planning on adopting additional alter egos aside from Grimes. One of them is "Screechy Bat"—the "metal one".
She clarifies that she didn't scrap an entire finished album and dispels the myth that she from scratch after fans reacted negatively to "Go". "There were just hundreds of songs," she said. "On this album that I'm making now, there's at least a hundred songs that won't make it onto this. I think all musicians have songs that don't make it onto records."

the only sarcastic humor comic ever
Going more than a year without a strip would've been sad.
I've recently returned to my home town, and to comic-making. Time to find out who still cares.
It's great being able to see friends' babies growing up. Once in a while. We don't need daily updates. There are other things.

At the Ranch, I observe a hombre walking up the trail from the river that immediately turns around upon spotting me and disappears into the brush. Frankly, this is a little unsettling.

I know it sounds stupid but I got a bit closer to get a pic after having that this bear wasn't looking to be trouble.

Amy Maurer Creel had a moment that all moms can relate to. She was sitting in church when her infant daughter grabbed at her strand of pearls. The necklace broke, sending pearls bouncing across the floor.
At that moment, she had a vision — to create jewelry that was stylish, yet safe for babies.
The Ashton mother of two sat on the idea for a while, since she had no business background and had never developed a product.
Then, her family endured a tragedy. In 2005, her sister-in-law Maria Janowksi Maurer died suddenly of an undiagnosed congenital heart defect, a week after delivering a baby.
"It was so unexpected and so tragic," said Creel. "It made me reevaluate everything."
That led to her decision to go forward with her plan to create and sell the product, which she coined "Teething Bling," but with a bigger goal than she had originally considered — a desire to help other moms to find meaningful work that they could balance with their busy schedules.
"My goal was to hire all moms and to create a new kind of business model," Creel said. "The moms with young kids could work during naps or in the evenings, and those with school-aged kids could work during the day."
Taking the product from concept to reality took a lot of research, a lot of persistence and a lot of money.
"It took about $50,000 to get this going, which was a lot of money for us," she said. "We basically drained our savings, which was pretty scary."
She spent a great deal of time researching on the Internet and making phone calls and admits she didn't even know what questions to ask. Eventually, she connected with people who were able to help her get started.
It also took a lot of time. Creel said it took two years before finally getting the product right.
Her now-thriving company, Smart Mom, LLC, employs seven moms, all living in the Olney-Ashton area.
Teething Bling offers a variety of "teethable" necklaces and bracelets, all made of a soft, flexible silicone, which has undergone substantial safety testing. The material is the same as what is used in coated infant feeding spoons. The products are made in Europe and Asia.
Products come in a variety of designs including jewel tones, NFL team colors, shimmering colors and whimsical designs. Necklaces, which feature a breakaway safety cord, sell for about $20.
As a mom with little money and no marketing experience, Creel said she had to find a creative, inexpensive way to promote her product. She sent samples to as many "mom bloggers" as she could find and relied on their positive reviews to generate interest.
She began a Facebook page, www.facebook.com/pages/Teething-Bling/167516720033?fref=ts, which now has more than 33,000 followers. The page has become a resource for moms — a community for sharing and beyond.
"That's something I am really proud of," she said. "It's hard to be a mom, so it's important to have places to share ideas and get advice."
She likes to involve her employees as much as she can. Instead of a conference room, staff meetings take place around her kitchen table, usually with lots of babies. The catalog shoot, featuring 20 local babies, also took place in her Ashton home.
The products are now available at 370 Target stores and all Buy Buy Baby stores across the country. Celebrities including Tori Spelling, Holly Robinson Peet, Ming Na, Chris Noth, Jewel and Melissa Joan Hart are all fans of Teething Bling.
A fulfillment center in Richmond now completes the orders, but that job used to take place in her home, as well.
"A lot of companies offer the chance to work at home, but from my experience, if you have to keep asking for time off, it leads to bad feelings," Creel said. "We are walking the walk — these moms can multi-task and still be able to be involved in the PTA or be home with their sick kids. It works really well."
Creel said another part of her business is giving back to charities. She gets many requests for product donations and responds to each one.
She has selected Dress for Success as her primary charity. The organization collects clothing to help disadvantaged women get back into the workforce.
"My sister-in-law was very interested in women's causes and was a fashion designer who had just been given her dream job two months before she died," Creel said. "I think this is a fitting tribute to her."
Creel said she also makes herself available to other moms who are considering starting their own business.
Creel, 46, and her husband, Marty, have been married for 17 years.
"He's been a huge supporter and sometimes a Doubting Thomas," she said. "It was really hard to get started without any immediate gratification and definitely a huge leap of faith. I couldn't have done it without him."
Her daughters, Alice, 12, and Daisy, 8, are involved, as well. Alice designed a line of "Tween Bling," created for older girls who twirl their hair, chew on pencils or like to fidget. Products offered in the Tween line include heart-shaped pendants, camouflage patterns and fruit-scented items.
Creel said the moment she knew her idea was really going to work happened when she was about two years in. While selling her products at several local shows, the reaction from all the moms that she spoke with was the same — they said, "What a great idea. Why didn't I think of that?"
"That made me think that this just really might take off," she said.
And it has. The company made $750,000 last year and is on track to make its first million this year.
There have been disappointments along the way. One day she got a call from Oprah Winfrey's senior producer, wanting samples of her products that day. Thinking, "this is really it," she made arrangements to have them delivered but never heard anything back.
"Through all this I have learned to be much more measured and balanced, which has helped in all aspects of my life," she said. "I tend not to do the highs and lows like I used to."

Southfield police opened fire on a bank robbery suspect when he reportedly tried to run the officers over in his car.
Officers of the Southfield Police Department responded to an alarm at the Comerica Bank located at 24770 Telegraph just before 5 a.m. March 15. The alarm company had observed a man stealing cash inside the bank, according to police.
Officers responded, but the suspect had already fled, though police were able to catch up with him at Berg and Oliver roads, police said. The suspect was sitting inside a parked vehicle.
"As officers approached the vehicle on foot, the suspect drove at the officers in an attempt to run the officers down," Southfield Sgt. Ted Goff said in a press release issued Saturday afternoon. "Southfield Police officers fired their weapons at the suspect, who fled in his vehicle and crashed at Lahser and Eight Mile roads."
The suspect reportedly sustained a non-life-threatening wound and was treated at a local hospital before being released into police custody. His name had not been released at press time; however, police say they believe he may have been involved in numerous bank break-ins.

Fast sketch of a guy waiting to cross JFK Boulevard. Traffic lights here change about every 30 seconds, so I had to hurry! Of course, he had already left when I started to color, but it's a good practice at my lunch break.

A couple weeks ago I started taking a Craftsy class called People in Motion, with Marc Taro Holmes. Marc is a wonderful teacher and a fantastic artist. I recommend the class to everyone.
This is my first attempt at putting in practice what I remember from his class. It's a captive subject, as Marc calls them, a commuter in the train. I think I missed a step, but it was fun and fast anyway.
Right now I'm on a plane back to Puerto Rico for my mom's funeral. She was very ill, and even as sad as it is, I know she was suffering a lot. The last time I saw her was a month and a half ago. I was able to sit down for a while and sketch her. When she saw it she said: "Oh, I look pretty! If your dad sees this he's gonna fall in love again." I'll never forget this moment, as I captured her fainting smile while she was falling asleep. Mom, I'll love you forever.
These last three days have been the saddest ever. One of my best friends ever also passed away two days ago. We'd known each other for thirty years… Basketball pals, neighbors, college classmates, colleagues, co-workers, golf enthusiasts, sketching buddies. His watercolor sketches were very inspiring, with bold shapes and saturated colors, with a pigment loaded brush. He changed my attitude towards sketching, as I'm not afraid to make mistakes. He used to say "It's just a piece of paper. Who cares if you mess up? This isn't neurosurgery!"
And he was right. From now on, he'll always be present whenever I'm sketching and painting, as I'll try to honor him by being even looser, bolder and fearless than ever. I know he would've enjoyed this process. ¡Hasta siempre Rafi!
Today we had our first Sketching Philadelphia Meet-up at One Shot Coffee and Cafe. We're looking for all Philly sketchers to join us for future sketchcrawls.

Heavy-lift specialist is first customer to sign up for new flat-rate global coverage VSAT service package.
Globecomm Systems Inc., a global provider of communications solutions and services, announced today that Global Seatrade, a unit of the Hartman Marine Group, has awarded it a contract for unified maritime communications. Services will be provided by Mach6, a unit of Globecomm Maritime, using its global VSAT platform, which provides automatic roaming between Ku-band satellite beams on a global basis at a flat rate. The contract was awarded in October.
Global Seatrade provides transport for cargo, such as offshore wind turbines, that require specialized handling aboard the company's heavy-lift vessels. Growing demand for its services led Global Seatrade to seek a unified communications platform to provide reliable broadband connectivity for its fleet. Globecomm Maritime's implementation for Global Seatrade includes Quality of Service (QOS) systems to prioritize mission-critical traffic, ensuring that vessel management, navigation and safety applications get priority over crew welfare communications. Broadband also supports VOIP, which provides significantly lower costs than legacy maritime voice solutions.
Shipowners gain all of the tools needed to ensure global coverage, seamless service and full transparency of costs and service levels. This is a VSAT-based service, with a Committed Information Rate (CIR) guarantee that delivers high performance at a fixed cost. With seaFLEX, automatic switching technology maintains the VSAT link as vessels move between satellite beams. The same technology detects loss of VSAT availability and auto-switches service to L-band backup on demand, while at the same time engaging sophisticated QOS systems that compress and prioritize traffic to keep costs under control. Globecomm Maritime provides hardware, either purchased or leased from Globecomm, as well as software, systems installation, satellite connectivity and lifecycle support services.

I'm loving it so far! To be honest I've never watched spirited away because it never captured my interest. But I watched it last night so that I could read this story today and it was worth it! Yay! :3
| EvilPandaCookies chapter 9 . 3/24/2013
In answer to the "no face" question; the type of yokai, or monster, is in fact a "Noh face."
A noh face is a mask made of wood, and if I remember correctly, it posesses whoever wears it. By being a Noh face spirit, he absorbs the other spirits instead of posessing them. As for why she named him that, I dunno. By the way, this is a fantasic story and idea!
| jj chapter 13 . 11/26/2012
i lov that story i like the fact that u stayed dclose to the movie and u added an epilogue that was amazing excellent job

What is the norm for tipping a tour guide / driver in Yogyakarta and in Bali? Thanks in advance for your advice.
Report Abuse
It depends on if they're self employed or an employee of a company. In my experience the drivers in both places have been self-employed so paying the asking price or a bit more was sufficient.
Report Abuse
In Yogyakarta, I'm using Wiedy Antara, and on Bali, Putu Arnawa, both recommended by posters here.

Also please let me know if you have recommendations on ATMs / where to exchange currency in Yogyakarta and in Ubud. Thanks.

There are plenty of ATMs in Yogyakarta, all the shopping centers have them. I flew into Solo City (and there was no ATM at that airport, just currency exchange.

2012-13 could feature plenty of major statistic milestones
Sep 3, 2012, 11:02 PM EDT
At this point, you've probably heard over and over again that the CBA negotiations stalled on Friday.
We don't know if there will be a lockout or if the season will start on time. However, as CBC recently pointed out, when hockey does resume, several players will be gunning for noteworthy milestones.
Take Miikka Kiprusoff for example. As CBC reported, the Calgary Flames goaltender is just one game shy of 600 and six shutouts away from 50. Kiprusoff has recorded 10 shutouts over the last two campaigns, so reaching that mark in 2012-13 isn't out of the realm of possibilities if the start of the NHL season isn't delayed. Tomas Vokoun and Nikolai Khabibulin are also closing in on the 50 shutout mark.
Meanwhile Alex Tanguay needs just three more assists to reach the 500-mark.
Those feats are worthy of celebration, but they're not the only major statistical accomplishments that we could see in 2012-13. In additions to the ones from CBC's list, here's a few others to watch out for:
- Jaromir Jagr is 47 points shy of 1,700. Only seven players in the history of the NHL have ever reached that mark.
