At last the construction of a much-needed new Johnson City Animal Shelter and adjacent spay/neuter clinic seems close to becoming a reality. Alan Mautner's recent letter in Forum expresses the importance of making the building of the shelter a community effort.
Opportunities for donations should exist for people at all levels of the economic scale. He suggests the sale of bricks of varying cost to create a pathway at the shelter. This is an excellent idea. Additionally, perhaps sections of the shelter and individual kennels could be named for donors.
Local businesses, such as One-Stop and others have shown past support through generous contributions to the annual Dogwood and Cattails Ball. For the actual building of the shelter plumbing and construction companies and others could offer some of the supplies and labor needed.
Another source for community support is civic-minded groups such as Rotary, Lions Club, Monday Club and the Junior League. Grocery store checkout lanes, churches, fraternities, sororities and schools all offer opportunities for average people to contribute.
The building of a first-class animal shelter is in the interest of our entire community and should not be dependent on the generosity of a few.
Johnson City
Spay, neuter pets
Without a low-cost spay/neuter program, even a larger animal shelter in Johnson City will euthanize far too many animals. Prevention is the ultimate solution.
Johnson City
UCAS funding
It's a terrible shame that pulling funding from the Unicoi County Animal Shelter was ever an option for the town of Erwin. The shelter we had before this arrangement killed more animals than it helped.
I'm not in any hurry to see history repeat itself.
County Commission
I get so sick of hearing that the Washington County Commission cares about how our tax dollars are spent. If they really cared about where our tax money is spent, they would stop letting taxpayers pay for their family health care insurance, retirement and travel expenses.
We do not need 25 commissioners and I applaud the ones who want to reduce the number on the board. We as taxpayers can make a difference on election day. Just listen to who speaks out against things the most at the meetings and allows nothing to get accomplished
Keep your head held high, County Mayor Dan Eldridge. Don't let them run over you. You have more support than you know.
ETSU football
Let me see if I have this straight: East Tennessee State University needed not one, but two athletic directors as well as a "special assistant for football" (Phil Fulmer) to carry out the process of hiring a football coach. And now that the coach (a personal friend of Fulmer) has been hired, Fulmer will still be employed to "assist" the program?
It is public record that the first athletic director makes $134,000 per year in salary. The new coach will make a minimum of $160,000. The salary for Fulmer is not publicly listed.
Considering tuition and fees at ETSU just increased (yet again) by 7.8 percent, I'm sure students and their parents would like to know how much money the university spent on a second athletic director and a special football assistant, as well as where that money came from. Are any reporters interested in finding that out?
Benefits of the arts
Randy Taylor's letter in Forum on June 21 questioned the value of East Tennessee State University's efforts to build a new center for the arts by implying that an arts education does not contribute to the job market. ETSU's arts graduates are professionally prepared to enter the job market. Facts indicate sound employment numbers in the arts.
The Americans for the Arts' 2012 Creative Industries Report using Dun & Bradstreet data indicates there are 1,230 arts-related businesses employing 4,418 people in the Tennessee's 1st Congressional District. Nationally, 3.35 million people were employed in 905,689 arts businesses representing 2.15 percent of all employees and 4.42 percent of all businesses in the United States.
The 2011 Strategic National Arts Alumni Project, a national survey conducted by Indiana University, indicates that 67 percent of the respondents to the survey, both undergraduate and graduate alumni with degrees in the arts, were currently employed in the arts, arts education, arts management, design and museum fields.
In addition to employment opportunities, the arts make important contributions to a community. The arts provide support to other businesses by purchasing advertising and printing services, paying for catering and hotel expenses, and renting equipment, among other needs.
The arts provide funding to local and state governments in sales tax collected on registrations and ticket sales. The arts contribute to tourism efforts, to more livable cities, to K-12 education and to efforts to attract new businesses and their employees to communities.
ETSU's new center for the arts will provide greatly needed instructional space and appropriate facilities to train artists for the future.
The center for the arts will be a catalyst for new opportunities of benefit to the citizens of Johnson City and the surrounding region. Arts businesses and the creative people they employ will stimulate innovation throughout our community.

Honor Hankal
Robert Houk's column on June 23 praising Dr. Hezekiah Hankal was spot on. Recognition of this man has been long overlooked and is long overdue.
I really can't point to another figure in local history who gave more to humanity both physically and spiritually. Over many decades this man's amazing accomplishments are still remembered by families whose lives he touched.
Serving as a catalyst, the Boones Creek Historical Trust, with the help of Donald Shaffer, Mary Alexander and especially Sheila Jones, was able to locate several of his descendants and a joyous reunion followed.
A public servant, a remarkable physician, a teacher, a preacher and more, at a time when country and communities were shredded by racial divide, Dr. Hankal brought healing in more ways than one. This area owes Dr. Hezekiah Hankal a lot more than name recognition. It is the least we should do.

What is the difference between Pay TV and Free TV? What Rights am I giving away when I give Free TV rights?
The definition is in the name itself. Though it is self explanatory, I came across many film professionals who did not understand the difference. A common term in broadcasting parlance, the reasoning behind the classification was largely unknown.
Pay TV refers to television through for-pay subscription based services. Access to a Pay TV channel requires some form of payment for a time limited access to the channel. Such access is controlled by the television platforms i.e. Direct To Home Companies, Cable Networks, IPTV platforms or Internet. These platforms collect subscription fee from the subscriber and pass on a share to the television channel. When content is licensed to any such channel, Pay TV rights come in to play. Pay TV rights cover any paid/subscription and access controlled medium of exhibition to a television set. A broad definition Pay TV will include
- Pay Channel over Satellite/DTH
- Pay Channel over Cable
- Pay Channel over IPTV
- Pay Channel over Internet
- Video on Demand and Pay Per View on any medium
As opposed to Pay TV, Free TV channels are completely FREE TO AIR. These channels can be accessed without directly paying a subscription fee to a broadcaster. For e.g.: A terrestrial television antennae captures the TV signal directly. They do not require a subscription service. Free TV channels make their revenues primarily through selling advertising.
Public broadcasters in most countries are Free to Air services. A FM or AM radio service also Free to Air. Free TV can also include channels, which are delivered by For-Pay television platforms but no subscription fee is expected by the channel. So even though the subscriber may pay a fee to a Cable TV or a Satellite TV provider, a portion of such fee is not passed on to the channel.
Free TV rights can hence include rights for Satellite TV, Cable TV, Terrestrial TV, IPTV, Internet or any other "free to access" medium.

The Port Arthur Historic Site received a visitor that was hard to miss today. The Aurora Australis, more usually seen in the port of Hobart in between expeditions to Antarctica for the Australian Antarctic Division, made an unexpected but welcome visit to Port Arthur.
On board were around 100 naval personnel who have been undertaking training exercises around the Tasmanian coast in recent days.
The Port Arthur call allowed a welcome chance to come ashore and recover their land legs.
The Aurora Australis moored in Carnarvon Bay, at Port Arthur

Customer Reviews of Q:electronics Noise-isolating Ear Buds
Great value for money1/3/2014
These ear buds are great value for money. My son breaks about 5 or 6 in a year, and so they work out well for him.
i love the headphones9/9/2013
only downside to them is that the glue that holds them together comes off really easy
medium but cheap7/29/2013
I wasn't expecting to much from this product. I got 2 to replace the ones I keep breaking while riding the subway or walking. The sound is not as good as 100$ pair ones, but the wires breat at the same rate. So why pay over 100$. I am pretty happy with this choice.
Great buy7/25/2013
The headphones came exactly as I had believed they would. No rip off or seemingly cheap earbuds... Just a great value for a quality product.
The best part is that they sound better than the ones that came with my I-pod.
Ear Buds4/15/2013
They were exactly what I wanted. They were a great buy here for our office.
Ear buds4/8/2013
The shipment was very fast and the price was unbelievable. The ear buds are the best I ever used. They supplied a smaller and larger insert, but the medium was perfect. They stay in place and very comfortable let alone sound great.
A Bit Trebyle1/21/2013
Needs a bass boost.
Good low priced earbuds1/3/2013
Good overall sound quality. A little light in the bass, but they are earbuds.
Good sound - soft covers easy to lose12/22/2012
Sound quality is good and the design makes it so that almost all background noise is eliminated. I did have one of the soft covers disappear in the first week so be aware that the covers can come off pretty easily. The earphones do come with 2 additional sets of covers although not the same sizes.

either value and performance is very good.
Not bad for the price.
ear plugs10/18/2012
they are ok
Great head phones for the money9/17/2012
Great head phones. Fit nicely in the ear. Very light weight and produce a very right sound.
Happy with transaction and product!
Good Plugs8/25/2012
Great compact packaging for ease in finding and also very good clear sound delivery.
Get what you pay for...8/17/2012
Agree with Kurt from 6/16/2012; lacking quality and better off doubling up and looking for a pair in the $15-20 range.
You get more than you pay for7/27/2012
Simply put, these earbuds do not cost much and are not audiophile quality earbuds. However, if you aren't looking for something to express how you are able to hear every single nuance of a song in your collection, and you just want some truly inexpensive earbuds for your commute or exercise or pretty much everything else that you use portable music players for, then these are the earbuds for you. Just as they were for me.
Quality at a reasonable price7/20/2012
The wiring is durable enough (not the best) to provide service life of product. The ear buds are comfortible and provide more than adequate sound quality.
Good price, but uncomfortable after long periods7/17/2012
These are good headphones - good sound quality and a good price. If used loosely, there are no issues. If I try to seat them snugly to utilize the buds and block external sound, they tend to get uncomfortable after about 20 minutes (though they do a good job of blocking the sounds).
Good quality for price6/20/2012
I purchased 2 pairs of these, 1 black and 1 silver. The 3 sizes of ear cushions allowed getting a good fit without getting a lot of the sound leakage I was getting with the Ipod headphones. The long cords were a bonus in not having to worry about them being pulled out of your ears or the player while doing physical activity. Good sound quality and noise isolation. Both pairs eventually failed by losing sound in 1 side only. Lasted a year(blk) to 15 months(slvr)
Not as good as I expected.6/16/2012
The earphone's audio quality is even not as good as the apple's earphone, stereo quality is a bit weird and quality is not on par with branded earphones like sennheiser either
Great product for its price6/13/2012
Product works good for the price paid. 3 types of ear cushions to choose from.
I needed it . And then got it .6/5/2012
Nice . Clear voice .:)
Great working ear buds6/1/2012
These ear buds are very comfortable. They fit nicely in my ears and I used them for over an hour without any pain or discomfort. With many I've used, I usually start getting some discomfort after 30-45 minutes as they put pressure on my ears.
Good service6/1/2012
Just as expected, even came with a container for storage.
best item5/22/2012
they broke within 3 hours of use. i first managed to pop the bud back in its shell and it lasted a few days then fell out again. so i put a dab of super glue inside it and its ok, but still, the sound isn t very good, you hear motion more than music. the ear phones. on the train, when it s loud, then they do a good job, they do block out all other noise, but when just walking or in quiet places you hear the movement of the wires more than the music, very annoying.
Awesome ears5/19/2012
Clear quality
good sound5/3/2012
good sound for the price, comfortable fit, long enough for various position
Well worth the price4/30/2012
The fit is quite good and they sound much better than I was expecting for the price. I recommend them.
powerful little earbuds4/17/2012
great sound coming from such a small source. AWESOME!
These earbuds keep breaking4/13/2012
The earbuds keep separating at the midpoint of the earpiece and they are very difficult to keep together. So far, I can still hear through them (when I can get them to stay together enough to stay in my ears) but they are one royal nuisance.
Good head phones4/12/2012
Easy to carry around
Great for the price4/9/2012
These are perfect for my teen age kids. They work well and are inexpensive. They last about 4-6 months which I consider good with a son that insists on removing them by pulling the wires
These are good earphones. I like that they have different adapters for different size ears. I purchased these for my 7 yr old son and he loves them.
Good sound for price2/23/2012
I was satisfied with the sound quality esp. for the price. However, they are very fragile and may damage on regualar use. Mine eventually did.
Waste of money.12/18/2011
they broke within 3 hours of use. i first managed to pop the bud back in its shell and it lasted a few days then fell out again. so i put a dab of super glue inside it and its ok, but still, the sound isn't very good, you hear motion more than music. the ear phones. on the train, when it's loud, then they do a good job, they do block out all other noise, but when just walking or in quiet places you hear the movement of the wires more than the music, very annoying.
Good sound for the price.10/26/2011
For the price these earbuds produce good sound quality and provide the noise isolation feature I was looking for when mowing the lawn.
Bad product10/5/2011
Earpiece completely fell apart - I mean in two pieces within a month or so. I am submitting the review a little late though.
It's a Trap8/14/2011
To be completely honest, I found this when it was on a huge sale for $6 and said I couldn't pass it up. I learned that I was wrong. The ear buds don't really stay in your ears. The quality isn't that great. The main problem is the buds are horribly crafted. I removed them from my ears 3 days after I got them, and one of the buds just came apart.
Worked for Less Than 3 Days4/10/2011
These seemed fine when they arrived, but the volume in one headphone dropped to almost nothing after only a couple days of use.
Sounds great but..4/4/2011
These things can break easily. make sure not to put anything heavy on them. It's expected i guess for the price. The first pair i bought broke and then i bought a second pair. The second has been good so far for about 2 weeks.
Fell a part at seams in 30 days3/1/2011
Sure they might sound great, but they fell a part at the seams within 30 days. I may have gotten a bum set, but based on a look at the glue that is trying to hold two smooth surfaces of metal together, I would doubt it.
These are the BEST value I have found for such a small price. I purchased SEVERAL pair for myself and my family. I am back to get more now.
mediocre product1/31/2011
It physically broke in less than a week,not durables since the casing is put together with glue.Sound is ok, but there are head phones with better sound quality with same price or lesser. I bought lot things from buy.com in last 2-3 years and I can honestly say 60-70% of products are quality wise very bad and don't last2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Great sound, Great value...........1/22/2011
Your not going to find a pair better for the money, great sound, great value
Not good if you like bass.1/22/2011
I am glad I only dropped $6 on these. All I hear are highs and absolutely no bass whatsoever. I tried them about for about 10 minutes with different songs, on my laptop, and on my iPod. I ended up just giving them to my daughter for when she is playing games on the computer.
Bang for your buck1/14/2011
Hands down the best headphones I have ever used under $20.
Misleading "noise isolating" ear buds1/14/2011
This is not a pair of noise cancelling or isolating ear buds. They don't have any noise cancelling or isolating circuitry. What they have is an amplifier to amplify your signal. This may cover up noise in the short term, but not good for hearing in the long term.

The Tears In My Eyes
they can choose to fade away
or i can cry all night until there's no more pain.
These tears are like something you never seen
you can call it blood right from my bloodstream...
The Tears In My Eyes
were only met for you
but u couldnt comprehend or even tell the truth.
My love is so deep
the blood in my eyes they can never ever be.
My eyes and these tears
will never wipe away even through out the years.
The Tears In My Eyes
The Tears In My Eyes
they caught my heart by suprise
i will never ever dream about you
i will never ever cry about you
but my heart will
and that kills me.
I tell the truth and you lie
i go home
with these tears in my eyes

There are a lot of reasons that someone may feel sad or depressed. It may be hard to know why you are depressed and even harder to find ways to deal with depression. The following article will give you information to help you better understand your depression and how you can treat it.
Banish your blue moods by cutting sugar out of your diet, including the natural sugars contained in honey, fruits and molasses. These sugars get into the bloodstream more rapidly than complex carbohydrates do. The sugar will give you energy for a little bit, but after that, you will just feel even sadder and tired.
You will find that your depression improves if you keep yourself busy with new interests and hobbies. Not having enough activities to do or interests to get excited about is a very common reason and factor that will lead to depression. Try starting a new creative hobby or sign up for a class to eliminate boredom from your life. Whatever you decide, a key way to treat depression is to develop new interests.
When experiencing depression, remind yourself of the fact that you control your thoughts. Take the word depressed out of your vocabulary. It is a terrible way to describe how you're feeling, and it can have a negative effect on your state of mind. By simply referring to depression as something like a "bad mood" or just a "bad day," you can begin to change the way you think completely.
Find people you can hang out with. Going out and having fun can help you get over your depression, so make as many attempts as you can to do so. Many times this very act can help you to feel better.
Try to decorate your home to be very happy and lively. You will feel much happier if you wake up in a joyful place everyday.
You need to contact a professional about your depression, whether it's clinical depression or simply a case of routine sadness. They can help you get a proper diagnosis, and medicate you, if needed. In addition, they can inform you of the kind of depression you're suffering from.
One useful way to deal with depression is to keep a depression diary. By letting your thoughts out onto paper, you will help yourself feel better. Whenever symptoms become more bothersome, you can document the conditions surrounding your negative feelings. It may be possible to identify previously unrecognized triggers.
Fresh Flowers
It may seem cliche, but beautiful, fresh flowers really do help lift your feelings and banish sadness. Flowers, by their very nature, have evolved to be pleasing to many species, including humans. Try your best to get fresh flowers by taking advantage of what you learned.
Understanding your depression is essential to defeating it. Depression doesn't just affect the mind, it affects the body as well. If you've been overly stressed and have been having anxiety for a while, your brain has probably reduced its serotonin level. A reduction in seratonin can cause your feelings of depression to increase dramatically. Often, doctors will prescribe anti-depressants to deal with depression, because they facilitate the brain's production of seratonin. You can, however, naturally increase serotonin levels. Minimize your use of caffeine and alcohol, be sure to get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, and eat a proper diet.
As previously discussed, there are so many factors that can lead a person into depression. Yet if you use what you learned from this article, you can become that much closer to beating depression and living a happier life.

Obama sets press conference for 2 p.m. Tuesday
President Obama will make a statement and take questions from the press at 2 p.m. Tuesday, the White House said in updated guidance.
Obama last took questions from the White House press corps in early September, while traveling abroad in Sweden and Russia. His most recent full-scale press conference was on Aug. 9 in the East Room of the White House, just before he left Washington for a vacation on Martha's Vineyard.
With his long-planned trip to Asia this week cancelled because of the government shutdown, Obama is aiming to show that he's keeping up his involvement in resolving the situation, even as he repeats his refusal to negotiate on bills to fund the government and raise the debt ceiling.
Press conference will be streaming live here: politico.com/live

Limestone Pavements in the Yorkshire Dales
The geology of the Yorkshire Dales is predominantly of limestone, which gives rise to many spectacular and scenic surface (as well as underground) natural features. One such type of surface feature are the "limestone pavements" - plateaus of bare and weathered rock often being found at the top of the limestone cliffs (known locally as "scars") running along the hillsides. These were originally formed by the scouring action of glaciers during the last ice age, excellent examples being seen at e.g. the top of Malham Cove, White Scars (near Ingleton) and on the plateau of Moughton (near Austwick).
Due to the corrosive effects of rain water on the limestone (a process which also leads to the formation of caves and potholes in the dales) deep crevases develop in the rock so that the limestone pavements are actually a "mosaic" of interlocking "clints" and "grykes" (and so despite their name are actually quite difficult to walk across !)
Rare alpine plants (including saxifrage) flourish in the crevases, and limestone pavements offer a unique habitat for many species. Unfortunately,however, some of the finest examples of limestone pavements are under threat, not just from casual visitors attempting to collect rockery materials for their gardens, but in some cases from large scale industrial quarrying operations (which are still permitted to take place even within the boundaries of the national park).

Robert Reich: The answer is to reform capitalism. The world's productivity revolution is outpacing the political will of rich societies to fairly distribute its benefits.
Lynne Stewart Update
Discombobulated Wingnuttery
If a person is uneducated to such a degree that articulating their political views rationally and coherently is not possible, then emotion is all they can bring to the table. If a person knows little of history and little of the dynamics of human behavior and politics, then any and all arguments that they don't fully understand are perceived as an assault on their identity.

By Mary
from Ontario
This product use to be amazing. I use it daily however results are not the same as original. It use to be that using very little once a week made a huge difference however as all other products from Ojon they are no longer the original formulas. I would use this product however would not pay this price for it. Wait until it's included in a Showstopper to purchase
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Watson and Naomi Booth Watson in Branchland, W.Va., and raised on Four Mile in Lincoln County. He was a veteran of the United States Navy, had 17 years with the United States Postal Service in St. Albans, and 14 years with Quick Delivery of South Charleston, W.Va.

He could be counted on to run errands and tote and fetch to doctor appointments, grocery runs or just having a hot dog at the City Roadside Park with his family and many friends. Bill was an everyday patron of lunch with his friends at the Hansford Center. He loved Christmas and hanging lights, lots of lights and his family could always look forward to his gift of one dollar coins that he prepared by hand, placing them into walnut shells to hang as ornaments. This became a holiday tradition. He was very creative with unusual bird houses, and if you were lucky, he would give you one. Bill loved to play pranks on his family and friends, and one never knew when he would strike. Bill Watson and his sense of humor and wonderful laugh will be greatly missed. Funeral service was Monday, Nov. 26, 2012, at Bartlett-Chapman Funeral Home, St. Albans. Burial followed in Cunningham Memorial Park, St. Albans. Special thanks to Dr. Anthony Graham and staff, and Gentevia Services, Aaron, Mike, Leslie and Heidi and caregiver Helen Smith. You took wonderful care of dad.

With Mitt Romney arriving in Israel this weekend, the focus of the presidential campaign will turn, albeit briefly, to a discussion of the way the Obama administration has distanced itself from the Jewish state and whether the president or his challenger can be trusted to act on the Iranian nuclear threat. In an in-depth interview with Haaretz prior to his visit, Romney reiterated his familiar positions of stalwart support for Israel. He made clear his disagreement with Obama on the fundamental question of whether it is wise for the United States to seek to publicly pressure Israel to make concessions to the Palestinians. But he will get the most attention for his explicit avowal that he will not rule out the use of force against Iran.
President Obama has pushed back hard against talk about using force against Iran, but his rhetoric has been equally strong about the need to prevent the Islamist regime from gaining nuclear weapons. That leaves us pondering which of the two men is more likely to do what needs to be done to actually make good on their pledges of preventing a nuclear Iran. Romney's position seems far less equivocal. Earlier this week in his speech to the VFW he explicitly said Iran should not be allowed to refine any uranium, a position that contradicts a weak compromise offered Iran by Obama in the P5+1 negotiations. Though Romney continues to speak of force as a last resort, he does not seem to labor under the same illusions that Obama has about the efficacy of diplomatic outreach with Iran. Nevertheless, in his column at Bloomberg today, Jeffrey Goldberg outlines the case for believing it is Obama rather than Romney who is more likely to actually take action against Iran. Though he makes some cogent points about the problems a Romney administration would face, the argument fails because it rests on the shakiest of all possible assumptions: that Obama fully understands the danger and has the will to do whatever it takes, even the use of force to stop the Iranians.
It should be acknowledged that Goldberg is absolutely right it is always easier for a Democrat to wage war than a Republican. Most liberals will only back a military intervention launched by a Democrat, while most conservatives can be counted on to follow the flag and back any military adventure. If Romney were to order a strike on Iran, he must expect to be subjected to the same sort of opprobrium that George W. Bush got, whereas Obama would be widely applauded.
Goldberg is also right to point out that next year when it is likely that the proverbial manure will hit the fan on Iran's nuclear program, Romney's foreign policy team would be inexperienced. They might hesitate to attack Iran, something Bush refused to do.
But Goldberg's assumption that Obama will act on Iran seems unsupported by anything we have observed about the president. Though he has often said the right thing about the Iranian threat, he is in marked contrast to Romney, who seems to instinctively understand the realities of the Middle East better than Obama even though he has little foreign policy experience. Obama is too much a believer in the efficacy of multi-lateral diplomacy and too eager to be loved by the Muslim world. Goldberg believes the president's experience in building an international coalition against Iran is another reason to believe he could act effectively. But the coalition he has built is predicated on the ability of its least trustworthy members — Russia and China — to block any effective diplomacy let alone the use of force. Rather than being a reason to act, the president's love of the United Nations and faith in diplomacy will act as a deterrent to action, not a spur.
It is entirely true we don't really know what Romney will do once in office. He may prove to be a disappointment. But his statements about Israel demonstrate that, unlike Obama, he understands the Jewish state's dilemma. As he rightly said in his Haaretz interview, the problem in the Middle East is not the debate about a Palestinian state but the effort to eradicate the one Jewish state. His instincts and principles on these issues are clearly good. And we already know Obama is someone whose views incline him to be less supportive of Israel even though Iran is just as much of a threat to America as it is to the Jewish state. Goldberg has every right to doubt Romney and to point out the difficulties he will face if elected, but his blind faith in Obama's willingness to act on Iran is a leap of faith unsupported by any objective criteria.

You only need basic tools and you can use small piece of scrap leather.
They are really lightweight, and they don't get mess up like the real feather one.
Step 1: WHAT YOU NEED
-scrap leather;
-earrings hooks;
-transparent leather acrylic (I used a acrylic medium, UV and water resistent, that dry really flexible, of a brand "Golden");
-copper or gold dust;
-good scissors;
-small brush.
+some decoration that you want (little chains, mini studs, beads...)
Step 2: DRAW THE SHAPE
The top part of the feathers should be large like the crimps.
Step 3: CUT LEATHER ✄
The bottom edges of the feather should not be sharpen because if not the leather get curly: so cut away a small pieces of it (like in the third photo).
Step 5: PAINT
Paint the feathers how you like. If the leather is already colored with a thick layer of paint you should sand it with fine sand paper.
Apply a really tiny layer of paint or it will come out because the acrylic will lose his flexibility.
Step 6: PUT THE CRIMPS
Step 8: PLACE THE HOOKS

Hopelessness and anger boils vigorously inside
Two weeks of excitement destroyed and suddenly died
Positive energy for the duration for which we all tried
Foolish with assumptions of which appear I have now lied
Living in a dream and reality a nightmare
All I can do is sleep because reality I cannot bare
I longed for this to work and motherhood is my goal
But in my heart and body the pains taking its toll
I feel a wreck and bad luck not to blame no more
As I await a miracle to shine light on my black door
I beg you dear angels give me this one meaningful goal
Please God, I'll take the worst labour if it helps sooth my throbbing soul

Looking Back: When Nintendo Was Accused of Discrimination (Joystiq): "On January 4, 1991 — twenty years ago today — Nintendo of America responded to ongoing racism accusations and protests by adopting its first affirmative action policy. The policy, according to the group leading the protests, was inadequate, leading to even harsher criticism in the future."
It's Not Easy Being Deaf in World of Warcraft (Kotaku): "Earlier this year World of Warcraft player Unwelcome suffered an accident that permanently robbed him of his hearing.

S&M Toy Removed from Popular RPG (Kotaku): "This is a "wooden horse", used for torture in Japan during the 15th century's Warring States Period. These days it's used in S&M play. But it apparently won't be torturing the ladies of popular Japanese role-playing game Disgaea 4."

Heart's memory of sun grows fainter,
What now? Darkness?
Perhaps! This very night unfolds
the winter.
-- Anna Akhmatova
I remember the summer
of yesterdays, folded neatly
like little leaves just waking up to life.
Ours were colored, all the days
hanging together on one twig,
glistening amidst the morning dew
like love's own eyes waking
beneath the passion of dawn.
The redness, so we thought,
could never fade to colder days,
nor leave us chafed from winter's wind.
We were the only breath of air
shared within the expansion of dreams.
We never dreamt of sunset skies,
yet, we watch it now, fading slowly
across the horizon of night's rise,
questioning eye's own darkness,
wondering, what does the truth behold?
poet destroyer's any poem contest

Revenge Season 2 Winter Finale,"Revelations," Recap: Ashley Davenport's Fall From Gra…yson
Things are happening in the Hamptons, and all of them are Revengey. Daniel is revenging all over his parents, The Montauk Mafia are blowing their revenge wads all over The Stowaway, and Emily is revenging all up in everyone's grill. Like, we're worried she's going to start Sharpie-tatting red Xs on people's actual faces. But that pales in comparison to this week's real highlight: the baptism of our lord and savior Baby Carl David.
Game of Thrones
The only thing Hamptonites love more than binge eating caviar and frolicking in the sand is a good ol' fashioned skeet-shooting session. Which is presumably why Victoria spent most of this episode dressed up like a renaissance faire jester meets Henry VIII. Skeet-shooting is a pretty dramatic affair, guys, and not just because of all the ruffled collars –– it looks like Daniel is gearing up to take the Grayson Global throne!
Yep, Daniel is on the hunt for double-infinity revenge, and he's successfully grasping the reins of Nolcorp thanks to David Clarke's investment and Nolan's mysteriously liquidated offshore account –– a lovely tidbit Daniel learns from Nolan's ex-CFO/lover, Marco (Polo!).
Daniel threatens to track down Nolcorp's missing dolla dolla bills if Nolan doesn't give him 51 percent controlling interest in the company –– which means Nolcorp is officially owned by Grayson Global! Geez, when did Daniel became so evil? We long for the days when he sold seashells by the seashore and wrote poetry about said seashells.
But there's hope yet! Victoria and Conrad are determined to make sure Daniel doesn't rise to power at Grayson Global, presumably to prevent him from accidentally partaking in a terrorist plot like some people. But will they be successful? Not so much.
Leave The Gun, Take The Cannoli
Guys, please clutch a rosary. There is an angel among us. Of course, we're talking about Baby Carl David, Fauxmanda and Jack's love child who has officially been anointed Patron Saint of The Hamptons. That's right BCD's baptism is upon us, because apparently Jack and Amanda are religious. Who knew?
As you might expect, Emily is a VIP at the baptism (what with being Baby Carl's godmother), and as she's called upon to witness his beautiful head being dipped into a font, she realizes that she'll never have what Jack and Fauxmanda have. You know, because once she's done revenging, she'll turn into a cat lady (spoiler alert: all her future cats are named Sammy).
In other news, The Montauk Mafia (Kenny and Nate Ryan) hit up Baby Carl David's baptism, and they only have one thing on their bromancing minds: revenge! These two are determined to take down whoever killed their pops, which brings us to Matt Duncan –– who shows up at Carl David's baptism. We smell trouble! And shellfish. Mostly because Nate and Kenny beat Matt within an inch of his life in a foggy alleyway filled with lobster. Luckily, Jack runs to Matt's aide in time to hear him confess to killing Nate and Kenny's father, but the real kicker? These bros think Papa Porter was the murderer, which means they're coming for Jack and Decs next!
Indecent Exposure
The time has come to check in on our favorite British Temptress, Ashley "Cheap Trick" Davenport. Turns out there's more to this little lady than meets the eye: girlfriend is determined to turn Daniel against Aiden for reasons that have yet to be discovered, which is a major problem for Emily. After all, Aiden is integral to her plot to take down Grayson Global! Luckily, Emily just happens to have footage of Ash getting frisky with Conrad Grayson, which she and Nolan send directly to Victoria's cell phone.
As you might expect, Baby V whips her hair back and forth in a rage –– especially when she realizes that The Initiative might have sent her the video as a way of driving a wedge between herself and Conrad — pshhhh, as if. Instead, Victoria and Conrad put their heads together and blackmail Ashley into sleeping with a smarmy board member named Salvador in exchange for keeping her infidelity a secret. Why? To persuade Salvador into voting for Conrad!
Of course, Emily isn't going to let Daniel's chance at helming Grayson Global slip away, so she has Aiden rendezvous with Daniel at the inn where Ash and Salvador are getting jiggy with it. Danny flies into a poetic tizzy, breaks up with Ashley on the spot (see you never, girl), and tells Salvador to vote Team Daniel or else.
The good news? Daniel gains control of Grayson Global thanks to plotting, scheming, and general whoring around. The bad? Daniel kicks Aiden off the board because thanks to his jealousy issues (D+E = 4EVA), and oh yeah –– he's being stalked by The Initiative.
By the way, if you're wondering about our boy Nolan and his double-popped pink collar, he's being blackmailed by Marco. We know, we know, how much blackmail can the Revenge Powers That Be pack into one episode? The thing is, Marco's threatening to put Amanda Clarke's name on the grid if Nolan doesn't give him a job at Nolcorp, and it looks like there's no way out. Sigh, the lengths this poor dude has to go through to satisfy Em's double infinity fetishes.
That's all for Revenge in 2012! Tune in on Sunday, Jan. 6, 2013 for the next episode. What did you think of tonight's winter finale? Sound off below!

Style: Judo--
My teacher stresses that Judo is an existentialist activity. I tend to plot out my attack, and then either wait for Uke to step just right so i can execute a throw, or to force them to make such a step. While i am busy plotting and waiting, i miss at least one throw opportunity for each step we take. What i need to do is to make the appropriate attack to what Uke presents, rather than force the situation to my expectations.
To overcome this, i try to attack constantly (well, i need to improve my cardio, so i don't keep it constant!) when i'm in randori. As my teacher says, a failed attack teaches us more than failing to attack.
Style: Judo, BJJ--
I'm right there with ya buddy. I definitely overanalyze and overthink while in randori. I'll try the attacking constantly idea.
Are there any other suggestions for overcoming the too much thought syndrome?
Oh wait, I can answer this: STFU and DO JUDO.

I've been catching people with tsubame gaeshi a bit -- to my great confusion. Every time I've used it it's just ... happened. I did not consciously choose to do it. Once it even turned into a pure hand throw off of a fully committed de ashi harai (uki otoshi?). I felt like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown. But when I try to do the throw consciously (e.g. I bait ko soto), I can't get it. This is what I imagine debana is.
Pretty accurate, though. . .and more than just
"muscle memory" developed through repetitive
practice. More even than an instinctual thing.
Although the mind is "unoccupied", the body and
spirit "acted" on the information that was present.
Very cool.

Because how quickly we forget…
Allow me to take a moment to thank one James "Jamie" Dimon, the chairman, president and CEO of JPMorgan Chase.
Before Dimon disclosed last week that his bank had lost — that is, lost as in "holy crap!" not as in "misplaced" — roughly $2 billion on risky trades, Americans were at risk. With the "Occupy" movement now officially boring, we were at risk of forgetting just what it is we hated about Wall Street and the big banks in 2008.
Back then, the world as we know it, was busy collapsing, and Americans were outraged to discover that the global banking system was actually one giant casino, only the high rollers at the craps table were backstopped by Uncle Sam. Banks were no longer just making loans and replacing tellers with ATM machines. They were gambling on risky securities; credit default swaps (most people still don't know what those are), and securitized subprime mortgages.
I think we all know how that worked out.
Read the whole thing here.
By the way, shareholders are now suing.

Keystage 4
Year 10
Year 10 is the first year of the students' preparation for the Level 2 examinations. It is a very important year when firm foundations are set and during which course work in many subjects is started. Modular courses in Science, Maths, Modern Languages, Business Studies, ICT, Travel & Tourism, Media, Sport, Hospitality & Catering and Health & Social Care begin and the examinations taken in these subjects count towards the final grade.
The curriculum is based around the core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science. The remainder of the curriculum consists of the pathway subjects chosen by students during Year 9. PSHE is taught, as in other years, as a combination of lessons during tutor time in addition where possible, two weekly lessons in which Philosophy and Beliefs and Citizenship is taught. Some students due to taking extra subjects may receive fewer weekly lessons.
Year 11
Year 11 is the final year of the students' Key Stage 4 studies. It is a busy and very important year in which students will take public examinations in May and June in all of their Level 2 subjects. During Year 11 students continue to follow the core subjects – English, Mathematics and Science as well as their chosen pathway subjects which include the following subjects: Geography History, Business Studies, Engineering, Health and Social Care, Art and Design, Music, Drama, Design Technology, Media, P.E., ICT and Philosophy and Beliefs.
A homework timetable will be issued during the first week of term. This will be written into each student's Homework Diary. We ask parents to monitor the completion of homework very carefully and to contact us at school if there are any issues regarding homework.

Stetson University celebrates piano professor's 30th anniversary
posted Mar 26, 2013 - 4:38:52pm
Hailed by The New York Times, Daytona Beach News-Journal and newspapers around the globe for his brilliance on the piano, Dr. Michael Rickman, Steinway artist and professor of piano, will celebrate 30 years teaching at Stetson University with a much anticipated recital at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 7.
Upon entering his studio in Presser Hall at Stetson, one might feel slightly intimidated by the two grand pianos that sit side by side or the numerous diplomas and accolades that grace the walls. Instead you will find the presence of a worldly, knowledgeable man who is personable, well studied and a master of his instrument.
With roots in Asheville, N.C., he completed his degrees at Mars Hill College and the University of North Texas. The many influential teachers of his profession, of whom he speaks so highly, included the late Grace Potter Carroll, Richard Cass, Jack Roberts, and Karen Shaw.
Before beginning his current post at Stetson University in 1983, he served on the faculty of William Woods and Westminster Colleges in Fulton, Mo., and at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond. It was at the suggestion of colleagues, Dr. and Mrs. Rich, who felt Rickman could make a substantial contribution to this private, central Florida university that he, with some trepidation, applied for the position at Stetson. It was during the interview phase, when he witnessed the level of student achievement and the professionalism of his future colleagues, that his decision came with ease.
Over the years, Rickman's contributions to not only the University but also to his profession, have been more than substantial. In 1990 he received the Homer and Dolly Hand Award for Creative Activity and Research and, in 1995, was the recipient of the most prestigious faculty award granted by Stetson University, the William Hugh McEniry Award for Excellence in Teaching. One of his most significant achievements came in 2009 when Rickman was named to the prestigious roster of Steinway artists, consisting of approximately only 1600 pianists worldwide.
With international performances in Latvia, Chile, Bolivia, Italy, Germany, Austria, Toronto, London, and Paris as well as in Miami, Palm Beach, Philadelphia, Louisville, Kansas City, Sacramento and at the Alice Tully, Bruno Walter and Carnegie Halls in New York, Rickman's performances have received exceptional praise from audiences and the media worldwide. Rickman and his students have impressed audiences for the past seven years at the Orfeo (formerly Schlern) International Music Festival in Northern Italy.
As he approaches the milestone of teaching 30 years at Stetson, he is grateful for the many students whom he has seen excel and who have themselves created magnificent careers. His face lights up when he speaks about teaching Master Classes during which students and the general public witness Rickman's teaching of other students. His passion for the piano, for music making and for the continued success of his beloved students is obvious.
With thoughts to the future, Rickman's greatest desire is to see a first-class performing arts center on campus. He looks to the skills of the new dean of the School of Music to help develop this dream and envisions a time when students, alumni and members of the community will enjoy outstanding music in this new center.
As he approaches his milestone recital on Sunday, April 7, he is excited about the works he chose to include, which took great consideration. Rickman's Faculty Recital, featuring his celebrated skills on the piano, will take place in Lee Chapel inside Elizabeth Hall at 3 p.m. on Stetson's DeLand campus, 421 N. Woodland Blvd.
Tickets cost $10 for general admission; seniors $8; area students $5; and are free to the Stetson University community with ID, and concert series card holders. For more information, visit School of Music at www.stetson.edu/music, or call the Ticket Office at (386) 822-8950.

Outrage over sale of 'racist golliwogs'
Posted: October 14, 2008|
NEWQUAY'S family-friendly image could be severely damaged by the controversial sale of so-called racist 'golliwog' dolls, council chiefs have warned.
Restormel Borough Council says it is investigating the sale of the dolls in "Newquay shops" following a complaint to the authority. A family contacted the council, claiming they were left "personally offended and very concerned" by the sale of the dolls.
The dolls had been on display in the window of Spalls of Newquay, on Bank Street, but have since been moved inside.
In a statement released this week, Restormel said it would take action.
"We take the issues raised by this complaint very seriously as we realise many people from all communities associate these dolls with racism and are offended by them," the council said.
"We, along with many others, want Newquay to be perceived as a welcoming environment, and realise the sale of these dolls may not reflect this.
"At the next Newquay Traders' forum in November, we will be discussing this complaint with traders, to make them aware many people view these dolls negatively and ask them to take this into account when deciding to sell or display such items."
Restormel said it had contacted the family who made the initial complaint over the dolls and they were happy the matter had been "satisfactorily concluded".
However, it is not the first time sale of the dolls has caused uproar in Cornwall.
Just last month, a shop owner in Bodmin agreed to stop selling the dolls following complaints.
A tourist was also left outraged after he spotted them in Julian Foye furniture store in Fowey, in February of this year.
One resident, who did not wish to be named, said the sale of the dolls in Newquay was hard to believe.
"I couldn't honestly believe what I saw in the shop window," she said.
"People will say this is political correctness gone mad, but I found this very offensive and I am sure I am not the only one who would have walked past the window and looked in horror at what I saw."
The Council for Racial Equality in Cornwall, based in Newquay, said they had spoken to Spalls of Newquay about their display.
A spokesperson for the equality and human rights commission previously told the Newquay Guardian: "The issue of golliwogs is offensive to many people; not least because they have associations with slavery and are seen as a patronising representation of black people.
"Any business or organisation should take this into account when deciding to sell or display such items.
"They are not mere toys, and can cause offence to people from all communities," he added.
Spalls of Newquay refused to comment on the issue.

'Ender's Game' Finds Its Han Solo
Harrison Ford, Abigail Breslin sign on to Orson Scott Card adaptation
Looks like "Ender's Game" is really getting into the big time now. Well, as long as there are no refrigerators to climb into inside a nuclear bomb test site.
Harrison Ford, best known for his roles as Indiana Jones and Star Wars' Han Solo, has joined the cast of Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game." Ford will play Col. Hyrum Graff, the leader of a battle school that first notes the abilities of student Ender Wiggin, played by "Hugo's" Asa Butterfield.
Also signing on is Abigail Breslin, you know, Little Rock from 2009's "Zombieland." The Wrap didn't say what part Breslin will play, but she joins a young cast that includes Butterfield and newly signed Brendan Meyer.
Ford has had a long career that most readers here should already be familiar with. By the time he starred in "Star Wars: A New Hope" in 1977, he had already appeared in 22 productions dating back to 1966. The 69-year-old actor was nominated for an Oscar in 1986 for his work in "Witness."
Breslin got her start in the 2002 M. Night Shyamalan film "Signs," but really got her big break in the 2006 indie hit "Little Miss Sunshine" as the young Olive Harper, which earned her an Oscar nomination. The 15-year-old actress is currently filming "Innocence" with Chloe Sevigny.
The film is being written and directed by Gavin Hood, who directed "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," based in part on Card's 1985 novel, itself based on his 1977 short story.
Filming will begin early next year, set for a March 2013 release.

"Sociedade Alternativa" – music by Raul Seixas, lyrics by Paul Coelho
September 16, 2013 – Buenos Aires, Argentina
"Solo Le Pido A Dios" written by LeĂłn Gieco
There is a song I planned to sing at our Buenos Aires concert that I learned from the wonderful Argentine singer, Mercedes Sosa. I wasn't quite prepared that evening so I'm glad to send this out now to all of our friends and fans in Argentina.
– Bruce Springsteen
I Only Ask of God (English translation)
I only ask God
That pain be not indifferent to me.
That dry death won't find me
Empty and alone
Without having done enough.
I only ask of God
That war be not indifferent to me,
It's a big monster
And it tramples hard
On the poor innocence of people.
I only ask God
That injustice be not indifferent to me
That I will not be slapped on the other cheek
After a claw has torn me in this manner.
I only ask God
That deceit be not indifferent to me
If a traitor is mightier than a few
Let those few not forget it easily.
I only ask of God
That I am not indifferent to the future,
Hopeless is he who has to go
To live a different culture.

"Manifiesto" written by Victor Jara
On Thursday night in Santiago, Bruce performed Victor Jara's "Manifiesto." Bruce introduced the song in Spanish, translated by Backstreets to:
"In 1988 we played for Amnesty International in Mendoza, Argentina, but Chile was in our hearts. We met many families of desaparecidos, which had pictures of their loved ones. It was a moment that stays with me forever. A political musician, Victor Jara, remains a great inspiration. It's a gift to be here and I take it with humbleness."
