The group exhibition Point of Sale upsets the conventions of a commercial gallery into a retail mart of personal identities. The artists in the exhibition all vend some form of identity, whether their own personal identity or someone else's, in commercial packaging or vending machines.
In question is whether the accelerated pace of entrepreneurialism in the art world will undermine artistic hallmarks; such as personal responsibility for producing artwork, the relevance of refined presentation methods and the assumed one-of-a-kind uniqueness of fine art objects.

Advertising bears the burden of building brands.
What is brand building? How does advertising build a brand? By taking a simple product, what does advertising do to build it into a powerful brand and how does advertising do this?
Let us first understand what is a brand. A brand is a consumer's idea of a product. This is a quote from the doyen of advertising – David Ogilvy.
Let us take a deeper look at the brand.
|Product |Brand | |Exists on the shelf |Exists in the mind | |Made of raw ingredients |Made of feelings & emotions | |Belongs to the manufacturer |Belongs to the consumer | |Eg. Bajaj Scooter |Eg. Hamara Bajaj |
So, let us now understand how does advertising make a brand strong?
The 'fundamental equities' of product, price, packaging and performance are only revealing one side of the picture. Today the consumer takes these elements of a product for granted and looks beyond performance of a stronger, value-addition to the brand.
Take a closer look at the consumer. Every human being is a combination of head and heart. Bill Bernbach once said "facts are not enough". Added values of soft equities are now being focused on to get the core of the relationship between the consumer and the brand. It is a relationship marketing today.
It is the softer side that seems to carry the value in terms of personality, image and relationships. And it is a stronger "soft" side that makes a brand stronger.
Can you think of some examples of strong brands' "soft" approach stirs up feelings and emotions? How about Garden Sarees?
In the past brands were built on superior & unique...

3 soldiers demoted for going"wild"-A A +A
Friday, July 4, 2014
THREE soldiers have been demoted and will be transferred to Mindanao following their arrest last April for allegedly getting wild while drinking on Gen. Maxilom Ave., Cebu City last April 15.
Lieutenant Commander Jim Alagao, spokesperson of Central Command (Centcom), identified them as Private First Class Leand Bryce Nemil Aujero, 26; Lovey dela Cruz, 24, and Aljun Diocana, 29.
They are assigned at the Intelligence Security Unit (ISU) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) at the Central Command (Centcom).
"This shows that the AFP does not tolerate violations of rules and policies by its members," Alagao told Sun.Star Cebu.
The soldiers were arrested then detained in Police Station 2 last April 15 after Aujero was accused of pointing a gun at a security guard in a club while his companions became unruly.
Alagao, in a phone interview, said they were demoted to the rank of private following a decision made by investigators in Fort Bonifacio in Manila finding them guilty of ungentlemanly conduct.
The decision, Alagao said, also showed there was no gun-toting incident.
Instead, the investigators weighed on the misbehavior of the soldiers.
"Ang ilang pagmaoy-maoy og paghubog-hubog nakada og kauwaw sa organization (Their acts while drunk brought shame to the AFP)," he said.
Aujero, dela Cruz and Diocana are in Centcom and will serve their punishment for 181 days and 181 hours.
"Padayon ra gihapon ilang trabaho pero dili gyud sila kagawas (They continue working but they can't go out)," Alagao said.
He said the soldiers will be transferred to Mindanao by the end of the year.
Prior to their arrest, Alagao said the soldiers have no derogatory records. They have been in service for three to five years.
The security guard, 46-year-old Garido Ampong, didn't press criminal charges against Aujero after they settled the issue.
The soldiers, reportedly very drunk, were about to enter a club in Gen. Maxilom Ave. when Aujero allegedly got irked at Ampong during a routine inspection.
Aujero allegedly pulled out a .45 pistol, prompting Ampong to call for help. When police arrived, dela Cruz and Diocana allegedly prevented them from arresting Aujero.

Thanks for helping!
They have a very good menu, excellents salads and huge sandwichs, my chicken kabob was tasty, need to eat again try something different.
The food is great the owners are greek I think so friendly and really great prices with all different sandwichs subs and fish and chips.
Quick service, good food--try the baklava--and reasonable price. Easy access and nice staff. The roast sandwich is good; the fish and chips is great.
Call ahead and that saves time, , then Enjoy an enormous sandwich.
I prefer the Roast Beef. My wife loves there salads. There service is fast and the food is fresh.
We used to love this place but after two bad experiences took it off our downtown eats menu. It's been a while and we were hoping they changed a few things, but unfortunately, they didn't. I forgot that they use fake feta cheese on the greek salad. Pathetic! A very full bowl of iceberg lettuce and a ton of manufactured...
My husband got the roast beef dinner, and I got the cheeseburger dinner. We both went "WOW" when we saw the amount of food we got. There were enough french fries AND onion rings to feed a family of four. The food was delicious, but there is no way a normal person could eat all of it. This seemed to...
Don't be fooled by Kelly's, thats alright but Village Roast Beef is by far the absolute best roast beef on the north shore, hands down. Also you cant go wrong with the Chicken Kabob Sub or Salad, get the extra feta and olives.
While your waiting just treat yourself to some chicken fingers and motz stix!!!
Grew up on this...
Well...simply stated...stopped eating there after wife, in our opinion, got food poisoning within 30 minutes of eating a take out sandwich. In our opinion, there was a cross contamination problem probably in the back kitchen area where you can't see in. Owner was informed but, in all fairness, he claimed it wasn't his fault.
I should know about poor food...
Selection of food, price, always served with a smile, and price. I will go to village 7 days out of 7.
I like this place for a number of good reasons:
1. The service is incredibly fast.
2. Great fish and chips at a fair price.
3. The staff is friendly.
4. The roast beef sandwich, the steak bomb, and the BLTs are wonderful.
It's definitely worth the trip.

Combination Office & Guest Room
Time for Change
Lois and her husband have their hands full with a 2-year-old son, busy careers and a frequent need to work from home.
They were thrilled to finally turn their non-functional multi-purpose room into a productive and comfortable home office and guest room.
The Problem
As a home office and guest room, there were a few reasons the set up wasn't working.
A small desk faced the back corner with a couple of shelves above it. The desk was too small for two people to use, and because of the lack of storage it usually had stuff piled on top of it. Before they could work on it, they had to clear everything off and put it on the floor.
The sofa bed used up a lot of space in the room so space for additional storage cabinets was very limited. There were also numerous binders stored in the garage and living room because there was nowhere to put them in the office.
The Result?
Lois and her husband hardly ever used the room. It didn't feel good being in there and there was no space to work efficiently. It also became a dumping ground so clutter tended to pile up.
They felt frustrated that the room was basically a wasted space – and with their small house, any unused space is valuable.
The Solution
They framed the sofa bed with storage to utilize the space on the wall. The design included open shelving for books and electronics, and hidden storage for binders, craft supplies and other items.
The Finishing Touch
The maple finish matches the sofa bed and the flat panel doors create a clean modern look.
How does Lois feel about the new design?
"We love it. The new floor plan makes the room feel bigger and provides space for our son to play while we are working. There is oodles of storage and a huge workspace for computer work and craft projects. Now that everything has a place, it's easy to keep the room organized!"

The original website is (+) where you can check out numerous different architectural cartoons. If you are too bored to surf through the website look up in the highlights (+)
*If you find them extremely funny or realize that no one of your non-architecture friends actually laughs you should reconsider the amount of time you spend in the studio.
*Finally, you can even buy for you or as a present the books Archimatects Anthologies which are great gifts for the architect who has everything. Or those more common architects who have much less, but enjoy laughing at themselves.(+)

High blood pressure, defined as a repeatedly elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg -- a systolic pressure above 140 with a diastolic pressure above 90.
Chronic hypertension is a "silent" condition. Stealthy as a cat, it can cause blood vessel changes in the back of the eye (retina), abnormal thickening of the heart muscle, kidney failure, and brain damage.
For diagnosis, there is no substitute for measurement of blood pressure. Not having your blood pressure checked (or checking it yourself) is an invitation to hypertension.
No specific cause for hypertension is found in 95% of cases.
Hypertension is treated with regular aerobic exercise, weight reduction (if overweight), salt restriction, and medications.

EEATF Members | Meeting Minutes
Environmental Education Advisory Task Force (EEATF)The Environmental Education Advisory Task Force (EEATF) was created under the authority of the Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and existed from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2010. The EEATF members consisted of Minnesota environmental education professionals, selected from around the state and representing various sectors of the EE community. The task force met on the first Thursday of the month from 12:30p.m. - 3:30p.m. at the offices of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (St. Paul).
The EEATF was charged with the following environmental education projects:
The task force partnered with the Minnesota Association for Environmental Education (MAEE) to execute this new grant program that was envisioned by the Environmental Education Advisory Board. The ELM Grant Program was established to support opportunities for Minnesota citizens, particularily students, to enagage in "real world" environmental learning experiences.
We Learn, We Save, We Win (We3) Education Initiative is a project that links environmental lessons from state agencies and businesses to the K-12 classroom. One environmental lesson from each of the partnering organizations was chosen for this project. They are hands-on, project-based lessons that will help teachers and students use their classroom and local environment as a "laboratory for systems thinking." Through applying the grade-appropriate concepts and skills addressed in Minnesota's Academic Standards across disciplines (with a special focus on science), students will look to their own classroom and local environment in terms of how it impacts, and is impacted by, natural and social systems.
The task force provided strategy and direction for the marketing and use of A GreenPrint for Minnesota: State Plan for Environmental Education, Third Edition (GreenPrint). The GreenPrint is the state plan for environmental education for 2008-2018. It was developed by the Environmental Education Advisory Board and supporting staff with input from the environmental education community. The GreenPrint is designed to serve those who educate, provide funds, develop programs, support efforts, and/or set policies that affect environmental education in Minnesota.
The task force was asked to develop a comprehensive strategy for climate change education for all audience sectors in the state plan for environmental education. This task was later tabled by the Commissioner.
The EEATF took the place of the Environmental Education Advisory Board (EEAB)(http://www.seek.state.mn.us/compact2.cfm?ItemId=696) whose work inadvertently "sunset" in June 2008 by Legislative mandate. The (EEAB) was the state board that guided the direction of environmental education in Minnesota. It was created by the 1990 Environmental Education Act (M.S. 1998, Chap. 115A.072) to promote environmental literacy for all Minnesota citizens. The Board accomplished this by advising the Governor through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, state agencies, organizations and citizens on the implementation of A GreenPrint for Minnesota: State Plan for Environmental Education.

In urging Congress to pass the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), President Franklin D. Roosevelt stated, "A self-supporting and self-respecting democracy can plead...no economic reason for chiseling workers' wages or stretching workers' hours." More than seven decades have gone by since the FLSA was enacted, yet violations of our nation's wage and hour laws and other fundamental workplace protections continue to run rampant, particularly against more vulnerable populations such as immigrant and low-wage workers. The National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) and The Employee Rights Advocacy Institute For Law & Policy (The Institute) are proud to present two cutting-edge continuing legal education programs designed to bring together employee rights advocates from the private bar, government agencies, and non-profit, legal services and public interest organizations to learn from and network with each other to fulfill the promise of our country's worker protection laws.
United We Stand: Effectively Representing Immigrants In Employment Cases will focus on the tremendous opportunities and particular challenges in representing immigrant workers, including practical strategies for successfully turning back employers' attempts to use immigration status, abusive discovery, and counterclaims as swords; navigating cultural and linguistic elements during litigation; tackling the unique issues faced by immigrant clients in sexual harassment cases; and building innovative collaborations to obtain great results for your clients.
This Program is made possible by a cy pres award The Institute received from the Minneapolis-based law firms of Cummins & Cummins, LLP and Miller O'Brien Jensen, PA. The Institute and NELA gratefully acknowledge their financial support, which will be used to underwrite expenses for United We Stand and to fund scholarships for both of the above programs through The Institute's Employee Rights Advocacy Scholarship Program.
View Program
Preventing Wage Theft: A Two-Day Guide To Litigating Cases Involving Wages, Hours & Work will address significant and emerging issues that arise under federal and state wage and hour laws. It is intended for employee rights practitioners who represent workers in individual, class, collective, and joint actions. Topics include recent legal developments under the FLSA, forced arbitration, proving wage theft, worker misclassification, retaliation, employer abuse of FLSA exemptions, defeating FLSA defenses, the use of experts, trial advocacy, ethical considerations, and more.

Based on my observation of how the Silverlight SDK works (which has snapping), I believe you will have to write your own snapping implementation.

I'd actually say it's the present more than the future. There's a number of ways to consume ArcGIS Services, but the Javascript/HTML5 libraries are by far the most portable and widely usable of the group. They work on virtually everything these days. ESRI has already moved away from the Web ADF, and Silverlight. It's only a matter of time before Flash ...
You will want to make sure your are initializing your license properly as well; when working locally you get a pass; but when you publish to the server this can fail. This can cause the 'or one of its dependencies' error since the Init didn't fire.
There was a 'Measure' tool that should do what your looking for. But keep in mind that the ADFs are being depricated and don't have a huge amount of life to them.You can take a look at the code-gallery, there is a lot there you can start off playing with.But keep in mind that most of this will not work fully in ArcGIS 10.1, since the core API and libraries ...

You really need to make sure the ESRI AGS SDK is installed properly; you will want to use the 'Add ArcGIS Reference' (not sure of exact name, not at work pc) versus the usual add reference tool. This is because there are nested dependencies and how the DLLs are loaded that ESRI handles for you. This will get them all to load right. If you run the SDK ...
The best answer is viewstate has to keep moving back and forth with page posts, versus sessionstate lives on the server. This was the ESRI workflow for there AJAX framework.
Make sure you've installed 10. update the references to use the 10 version. Change the File and Assembly version then rebuild the solution. at the top of the aspx page: <%@ Register Assembly="gridResults, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xx" Namespace="esri_samples" TagPrefix="esri_samples" %> in the web.config: <add ...
Your issue is most likely related to user permissions. There are several things you need to make sure in order to connect to ArcGIS Server: The user name you are trying to use must be a member of the agsadmin group If this is a desktop application, the user you are currently logged in as (if different from above user) must also be a member of agsadmin. If ...
that was my suggetsion also @Michael Todd. create, or desgin several user groups and perhaps allow the user to pick what type of user they want to emulate. There is some information here for 9.3. ilayerposition describing a layer priority assignment and more here Chapter 5
In the following link you have an example how to do exactly what you want but in the client side (including the CSS to set the div centered and grayed) http://cs.asteryx.com/forums/p/40/55.aspx Just do the same but instead of the ajax javascript , run the code to set it visibility on the server side.
Your quickest answer, is create a DIV on your page; set it to runas server, then hide it. So when you start your function go through and turn that div on, then when finished turn the div off. I don't have any code I can quickly post for you; but I have done this all over the place in my COTS apps and the workflow is pretty solid.
I would suggest creating a Model in ArcGIS Desktop which does a select by location with a buffer distance set. Then adding a Tool layer to the Map Service and publishing the geoprocessing model as a service. Then in the Web ADF you can just pick up the existing service. In saying this another way to go is to use this sample from the Esri Website to point ...

"I seem to recall from a while ago that a surprising number of passive things go on while the phone is off. The OS may not be running, but it's not the only thing tracking you."
Back when the Snowden thing started, he mentioned things like that, which was then vehemently denied by the manufacturers. They saw no way how the radio could be powered with the phone switched off. Of course, he was in a good position to be paranoid about phones with the firmware modified by TLAs.
There are phones that can wake up from power off to sound an alarm. Presumably, they boot some lightweight OS image that's just enough to play the alarm audio and display a snooze button. A phone like that could be modified to wake up with the screen off and the radios on (and remember the unlock code for the SIM). But that doesn't mean that phones work like that out of the box. There would be trouble with the FCC and FAA if phones did that during air travel, not to mention unexpected data roaming fees.
"this [4G off state] might result in data-checking apps (e.g. your e-mail app) not getting notifications that an e-mail has arrived."
You got it. Or rather, apps stop polling for data if there is no internet connection. With the 4g radio in standby (only listening for incoming calls) it doesn't consume much power.
"So perhaps it could turn on the data for 5 minutes every hour to allow background apps to pull data. I wonder just how much battery life an app like this would save."
There are apps (e.g. juice defender) that can disable data sync or even mobile data (iirc) and briefly enable it at set intervals, so that all apps wake up and sync at the same time. You could also try to do that manually (it's the widget with two half-circle arrows). I tried JD in the past, but found it too much a pain that Whatsapp messages came in with a delay and that I had to wait for mobile data to become active whenever I wanted to look up something.
"Battery doctor already does this, I've had it on my phone for a year or two, it simply terminates one or two dozen apps that somehow run themselves for no good reason - has a whitelist too."
BD seems like snake oil to me. From the app description:
- Disable unnecessary apps that drain your battery! Task Killer kills tasks with one click! -- The ones that drain the battery are background services and you can't really kill them without root; the OS will restart them after a while. You can disable the service manually in the Android settings if you want, although i'm not sure that it survives a reboot. Killing "tasks" (recently opened apps) won't help the battery at all since those don't run but just sit idly in memory until the memory is needed for something else. After that, the "task" just a shortcut icon in the recent-apps list. Killing an app is only useful if it's stuck in an unresponsive state. Killing a "task" generally won't kill the background service if the app has one.
- Unique 3 Stage Charging system! -- Unique, WTF, that's how every Li-ion charger works. No way that an app can influence the charging circuitry of the phone.
"AES instructions are included by default in almost every single processor produced in the last 5 years."
Not in the i3-3xxx mobile cpus (released 2013), celeron N29xx (released 2014), Pentium N35xx (2014), and so on. I.e. my laptop and my SO's... (we're more interested in battery life and compactness)
And ssh on my phone (ARM) isn't particularly fast even if the hardware supports it. Can't tell whether dropbear and ssh client actually use AES instructions.
"in order to calculate which pages are linked to by good pages, and are therefore also good. It's recursive across the whole internet"
You speak in the present tense, but I think it's widely believed that today, the original pagerank algorithm plays only a minor role. The original algorithm was very easy to game by building a site with a million auto-generated pages, all linking to each other and to the main page. How they actually do it today is a closely guarded secret, although it's likely that links between sites and internal links play a role.
OK, I was reading and posting from a phone screen while commuting. From a laptop screen and based on your screenshots, I agree. The Hack-i looks like a tiny backslash, quite disrupting the flow of reading. The Hack-a at your rendering looks like a small 8 when viewed from a distance, unlike the Dejavu-a.
Next time you post screenshots, make sure that they will fit in a browser window with menu bar on a 1366x768 sceen, though. The browser was messing them up by an additional scaling.
"For example, the line in the zero, the changes to the i and a -- all are horrible."
Could yo explain.why the new 'i' is horrible but not the original 'l' (ell)? And I don't quite see any difference in 'a' in these two comparisons.
"When setting up an access point, it should be possible to designate it as "expensive", and by default devices should adhere to this and try to limit unnecessary data usage"
Android has a feature (settings / data usage / menu / mobile hotspots) to do exactly that. Android also seems to detect if it is tethered to another Android phone but I'm not sure how that works. iPhones certainly don't recognize Android hotspots, as a I learned when my friend's iPhone downloaded 50 MB roaming data in 3 minutes when she just wanted to check her email.
"These tests should have been part of the product test and qualification plan."
I suspect that they don't test the device in their final assembled form because of the tight development and release schedule for thus kind of devices. Redesigning the spring mechanism and setting up the production lines could mean months of delay.
They need to trust their engineers to catch this kind of problem while the design only exists as a CAD model. Unfortunately that didn't happen this time...
"Because people who type all the time don't like to have their wrists twisted"
I use a regular(*) keyboard and my wrists are straight. In the home position, my index fingers are a bit more stretched than my pinky fingers to correct for the angle. I used a MS Natural keyboard around 1997, but I felt that it made my rsi issues worse. Learning about proper desk height and arm/wrist position helped much more, but back then it wasn't so common to have adjustable desks.
(*) Actually, I use a thinkpad keyboard with trackpoint, in Dvorak layout. I even attached an external thinkpad/trackpoint keyboard to my non-thinkpad docking station because I hate that hp elitebook keyboard.
Actually, i'm typing this with my right thumb on a 5-inch phone, in portrait mode... 6666... yep, right hand.
"A gun can puncture the pressure hull of the plane, and considering it's altitude, that would be both unpleasant and potentially life threatening"
That's not the real problem. A 1 cm2 hole will leak around 20 liters of air per second, which is negligible to the 500+ l/s of air that needs to be refreshed in a typical 200-passenger aircraft to keep the passengers from suffocating.
A bigger problem is that the bullet can damage electrical and hydraulic lines on the way out.
The two most common things in the Universe are hydrogen and stupidity. -- Harlan Ellison

Chateau La Grave a Pomerol (Futures Pre-sale) 2009
Bordeaux Red Blends from Pomerol, Bordeaux, France
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling - "The aromas of sweet tobacco and ripe fruit are so attractive. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a juicy, fruity finish. Long finish. A pretty and delicious wine already. Best in 2015. "
Wine Spectator - "A well-structured version, with a spine of charcoal and graphite supporting the dark, fleshy blackberry, fig paste and mulled black currant fruit. Offers a racy edge, with flickers of anise and incense on the finish. Shows lovely mouthfeel as this expands in the glass. Best from 2013 through 2025."
Wine Enthusiast - "Soft and generous fruit, its tannins enveloped by a warm and ripe juicy fruit layer. The wine is already delicious, showing sweet tannins and a subtle touch of wood."
International Wine Cellar - "Ruby-purple. Compelling aromas of red cherry and raspberry liqueur, minerals and spicy Christmas cake. Wonderfully broad and opulent, with full but not excessive ripeness to its red cherry, blackcurrant, mineral and underbrush flavors. Finishes with smooth tannins and excellent breadth, and a lingering black cherry and mineral perfume. Should turn out to be one of the best La Grave a Pomerols in years. 88-91 points "

About PomerolPOH-mehr-all
It's a tiny region, and it has no classification system. But the wines produced from Pomerol can be sensuous and life-changing. Here lies Chateau Pétrus, one of the most expensive and sought-after wines of the world – many vintages commanding prices higher than the first-growth chateaux of the Médoc. The area is all vines, with no real town center, just roads connecting the lands and small, farmhouse style chateaux.
Notable Facts
Soils in the area are primarily gravel based, intermittent with a clay subsoil, which is a factor in the rich flavors of the wines. Like its right bank neighbors, Pomerol sticks mainly to Merlot, with at least 2/3 of the land under vine growing the variety. Cabernet Franc makes up most of the remainder, with some Cabernet Sauvignon and a spot or two of Malbec. Vines are old and yields are extremely low – add those factors to the soil, and it's a recipe for an elegant, distinctive wine, with typical descriptors of intense aromas, ripe fruits and supple tannins. Quality can be vintage-dependent - in a good vintage, expect melt-in-your-mouth wine.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

In the past fortnight, it had been as wonderful discovering Seattle for the first time as exploring London for the umpteenth. The city of organic chic turned out to be much more than Bill Gates and Amazon. Apart from soaking in the touristy charm of Pike Place Market or the sun-dappled bay of Puget Sound with its surreal flank of snow-covered mountains, i had been flung into a wild 'bachelorette party' as soon as i landed – and i had participated in something as far removed as the Pacific Health Summit.
Now i was ready to return home, and put my Seven Signal theory to the test again. My flight to Mumbai via Heathrow displayed the whole set. Here they are.
One, after Security, there will be desperate announcements featuring truant Indian passengers. We have the disconcerting habit of disappearing into the maw of Duty Free instead of reporting at our designated gate.
Two, the transit train taking you to your gate resembles a Mumbai local. The same people have behaved quite correctly on the London Underground, but the old habit kicks in within sniffing distance of home. There's the same milling and jostling on the 'platform', the same elbowing to get inside. No one moves considerately to the back of the coach.
Three, again in contrast to the orderly way we have lined up for museum entry or theatre loos during our trip, all semblance of a queue disintegrates at the departure gate. The ground stewardess may put on her strictest schoolmarm voice, but 'tis in vain. Everyone has become deaf to the instruction to 'board only if you are in rows 44 to 30′.
Four, carry-on bags rival checked-in luggage. So, once on board, you will witness a Herculean struggle to squeeze strolleys and stuffed plastic bags into the overhead bins in disbelieving defiance of the laws of mass, volume and space.
Five, throughout the flight, babies will bawl their heads off at a decibel level only Indian infants are genetically programmed to achieve.
Six, there will always be water on the plane's bathroom floor. 'Ablutions' have to be carried out, no?
Seven, on landing, several announcements will be made in ascending order of sternness ordering passengers 'Not to stand up but to remain seated with seat belts securely fastened and not switch on mobile phones because the plane still hasn't reached its parking bay'.
There is also an eighth signal, but this one is in our own terminal building. Airports have become swankier; immigration is quicker, Customs is a breeze (unless you are a Bollywood star); there's even toilet paper in the bathrooms. But baggage reclaim remains unredeemed.
Nowhere else in the world is there the same crowding as papa, mummy, Bunty, Pinky, whole tour-party jam their legs against the carousel yielding not an inch to those jumping up and down behind them. Nowhere else is there the same tangle of trolleys, the same frantic pulling off of bags not one's own, the same desperate scanning of the horizon as the belt trundles on and periodically sighs to a halt as if it were the cycle of life and death itself. Welcome home.

Narconon rehab has found that many parents concerned that their children are engaged in the use of illegal drugs or alcohol, purchase home drug testing kits. These kits are useful in some situations, and they may be especially effective as a deterrent to prevent teens from using drugs. However, home drug testing isn't always a good choice.
One of the primary problems with using store-bought drug testing kits is the fact that there are so many to choose from, not to mention the wide variety of differences in how they work. Most home drug testing kits won't test for every possible drug, and they may cause a false positive reading if your child is taking a drug that the test is unable to detect.
Home drug testing kits also tend to produce a large number of false positive results. These results can occur if your child is currently taking an antibiotic medication or even if they are eating foods that contain poppy seeds.
Choosing a home drug testing kit that works depends on your understanding of what type of test you need and what kinds of drugs you suspect your child is using. Home drug testing kits often test for opiate drugs such as heroin or opioids like oxycodone, or THC from Marijuana dispensaries, but a single test typically won't check for all of them at once.
In addition, certain types of medications that are prescribed legally and even LSD are not detected by home drug testing kits. However, if you are reasonably certain that your child is using a particular drug, you may be able to find a specific home drug testing kit that is accurate and effective.
Using any drug test requires certain procedures that ensure the result is accurate. Most parents probably don't have the education or understanding to properly administer a drug test, which can lead to a misleading result. In contrast, drug testing performed in a laboratory setting is administered by trained professionals who know how to correctly interpret the test results.
Laboratory drug tests also tend to be more accurate that store-bought test kits in identifying infrequent or occasional drug use. This is because laboratory testing tends to be more sensitive to small amounts of drugs that remain in your child's system with infrequent use.
Another problem to keep in mind, warns Narconon schools, is that kids are resourceful in using the Internet to find ways to skew the results of a home test. These methods, which range from drinking significant amounts of water to using certain supplements, often fool home drug testing kits but are less likely to influence a laboratory drug test.
Furthermore, parents may not be familiar with commonly used techniques to tamper with a test specimen, which can also produce a false negative result. A laboratory professional, on the other hand, will automatically reject any specimen that is suspected of tampering.
If you suspect that your child is using either drugs or alcohol, addressing, rather than ignoring, the situation is the crucial first step to prevent adverse consequences or a tragedy. If you choose to try a home drug testing kit, discuss the results with a qualified professional.
Together, you can determine the most appropriate next step. Specialized rehabilitation services such as Narconon meetings can help both you and your child return to a productive life without drugs or alcohol. Teens and their families speak volumes about the importance and effectiveness of this program.

LA Angels vs. Chi White Sox, 08/05/2012 14:10 EDT, Score: 2 - 4
Total: -120/+9½ Over
Sportsbook: TopBet
Result: Loss
*3 Star MLB Total Domination* Dan Haren had a down year by his standards, and he doesn't seem to be completely healthy. The White Sox are seventh in the majors in runs scored, so they definitely can put up some runs. Francisco Liriano has been extremely inconsistent this year. The Angels have scored ten runs on him in his two starts against them this season. The Angels' offense is producing as well as anyone in baseball right now. The over is 6-0 in the Angels last 6 as an underdog. The over is 6-0 in the White Sox last 6 home games. The over is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings between these two. Take the over.

Club Drugs & Raves
What are club drugs?
The term "club drugs" has been used in the past to refer to drugs primarily used by young adults at dance clubs and raves. Club drugs are still rampant in these settings, but are also appearing in other social settings within our communities, such as in bars, on college campuses, and at high school parties or gatherings. Club drugs often appear at events for young adults that are advertised as "non-alcoholic functions" in which parents assume the attendees will be supervised and safe. Club drugs include, but are not limited to, MDMA (Ecstasy), LSD, methamphetamine, GHB, ketamine, and Rohypnol. Other drugs such as marijuana and alcohol are also popular at clubs or raves. Poly-drug use is also prominent: the effects of combining different substances often are unpredictable and dangerous.
What is a rave?
Raves are all night dance parties that originated in Europe in the mid 1980s. After gaining popularity among teens and young adults in the 1990's, organizers of raves (or 'free parties' as they are labeled by some promoters today) continue to put them on and they have become more sophisticated. Raves are attended mostly by teens, some who dress in baggy clothes and costumes and wear colorful candy or plastic necklaces as was common when the rave culture began. Today, most rave-goers dress casually and raves attract a wide audience. Raves are usually held, frequently on short notice, in locations such as empty warehouses, fields, and dance clubs. Raves, attended in small or massive numbers, typically begin at dusk and end at dawn.

My Halloween night started off with a deer running into my car (ugh!) and leaving a big ole' dent. Thanks! It ended at the restaurant turned lounge Mio (1110 Vermont Ave NW) near one of the busiest party intersections, 14th and K Streets NW.
Despite the few rain drops that wanted to fall, everyone crowded this busy party corridor in some outrageous costumes and the usual slutty ones. I decided to opt out of this year's dressing up festivities…partly because I just didn't have time to be creative and refused to buy another cop costume.
Still, back to Mio. It's in a great location and is surprisingly spacious (well relatively…it seems bigger in square feet than Shadow Room and more spacious than Josephines). Like many parties catered to the urban community, Mio is a restaurant turned lounge so when you first walk in there are table areas set up to the right. This probably wouldn't be the ideal area as temperatures decrease because it does get cooler in the front.
Still, the earthy-modern decor make for a chic atmosphere that is undeniable. The best tables seem to be enclosed in this wooden, birds-nest like room (I'm not describing it well at all). It's right in the middle of the venue and provides views of the entire dance floor. Also, it's slightly enclosed so your table area wouldn't be crowded.
DJ Alizay was on the tables with Ill Will on the mic.
The VIP area was on the second floor, although it appeared that anyone could move up and down the stairs. The party was definitely more live up there thanks to the many athletes that seemed to be parlaying including DJ Strawberry and others that were unrecognizable. Perhaps everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves because of the groupies drinks, which were particularly strong.
The spot never got to capacity, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but the vibe was definitely off. If it wasn't for Alizay spinning my favorite down south songs I probably wouldn't have shimmied at all.
I like Mio, the actual lounge, but would prefer a better crowd before I go back there again.

It is extremely important to use masa harina for this recipe. Though it is a corn product, it is completely different from cornmeal and masarepa (produced specifically for arepas although I still find that the masa harina arepas are must tastier). Masa harina is traditionally used to make corn tortillas and tamales but can make arepas as well. The more coarsely ground cornmeal is used to make corn bread and corn mush.
YIELD: Makes 9 English Muffins
- 1 1/4 cups masa harina
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Dough for 1/3 recipe White Bread
Combine the masa harina, water, and salt and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
Allow the bread dough to rise in a warm place for an hour.
Mix the masa harina dough and the White Bread dough together by hand until uniform. Place a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop out 1/3 cup dough at a time and roll it into a 2-inch ball. Place 4 or 5 balls in the pan at a time (evenly spaced apart and not touching) and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand to form 3-inch discs. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, then flip over with a spatula and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more, until dry to the touch on both sides.

Pryor To Get First Start For Raiders

Barcelona Goes Crazy For The Lakers The Lakers arrived in Barcelona, Spain to huge crowds and lots of media at their practice inside Palau Blaugrana stadium. Lakers star Pau Gasol is from Spain.
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Terrelle Pryor will have the stage to himself in a final audition to win the Raiders' starting quarterback job.
Coach Dennis Allen said Sunday that Matt Flynn won't play in Oakland's preseason finale Thursday night at Seattle, opening the door for Pryor to make his first start.
"It's probably more of a precautionary measure on my part than it is anything else," Allen said. "We'll get a chance to see Terrelle this week with the first-unit offense up against Seattle, and we'll see how he does."
The two quarterbacks have been engaged in an increasingly tight competition to run the Raiders offense since the beginning of training camp.
Flynn has been the starter throughout camp but there has been a growing groundswell of support for Pryor as Oakland's starting offense has struggled in the preseason.
Pryor, who led four scoring drives after replacing Flynn in the second quarter Friday night in a loss to Chicago, has been the Raiders' most effective quarterback so far. He is the team's second leading rusher with 83 yards on 11 carries.
The former Ohio State star also is pretty savvy, and he didn't put any significance on his first start of the preseason.
"Coach told me what the deal was, that Matt wasn't playing on Friday and he wanted me to jump with the first team and lead them into Seattle," Pryor said. "I'm definitely not all the way there in terms of the playbook and in terms of just being a quarterback out there. Don't get me wrong, I can lead if I was called upon to do it. I'm just out there getting better and trying to get in synch with the guys."
Flynn was essentially handed the starting job after being acquired in a trade from Seattle during the offseason, but the 28-year-old quarterback hasn't looked sharp. He has completed more than 70 percent of his passes but most have been check-down throws or short-range tosses.
Injuries to Oakland's offensive line haven't helped, either. Second-round pick Menelik Watson, who missed most of training camp with a calf injury, practiced at left tackle on Sunday and will start against the Seahawks even though he has never played the position until now.
That is why many feel the athletic Pryor — who made his only NFL start during the Raiders' final regular-season game in 2012 — might be a better fit.
"That's my goal, to be a starting quarterback and to lead a team to wins," Pryor said. "I won't stop until it happens. Until it happens and keeps on happening, I'll keep on pushing."
Allen praised Pryor following the game against Chicago, in which he threw one touchdown and ran for another, but noted the third-year quarterback is still very much a work in progress.
"When you have guys who have athletic talent like he does and they work as hard as he has, guys are going to get better, and he's improved," Allen said of Pryor. "It'll be a good thing to see him in another game situation against a really good defense on the road in that environment and see how he responds."
With less than two weeks until the season opener in Indianapolis, Allen is in the uniquely strange position of trying to pick a starting quarterback when one of them is unavailable.
Flynn was bothered by tendinitis in his right elbow while with Seattle, and the Raiders believe it is similar to what the quarterback is dealing with now.
"It's hindered him a little bit," Flynn said. "I don't think it's been a major factor when we've gotten into games. I just think it's one of those things that we've got to manage.
"I don't want to make it out to be any bigger of an issue than it is."
The Raiders made several roster moves, including releasing kickoff return specialist Josh Cribbs.
Cribbs had knee surgery in the offseason and signed with the Raiders after eight seasons with the Cleveland Browns. But the 29-year-old Cribbs struggled to regain his speed in training camp. He also fumbled a kickoff in Friday's loss.
Cribbs' contract was terminated by the Raiders, leaving him free to sign with any team.
"It was just one of those things where I didn't see everything that I needed to see," Allen said. "We just felt like it was the right thing to do. If we didn't see him in our plans, to go ahead and let him go."
Also released were: linebackers Keenan Clayton and Eric Harper, fullback Jon Hoese, wide receivers Sam McGuffie, Tray Session and Isaiah Williams, guard Andrew Robiskie, cornerback Cory Nelms, and defensive tackle Myles Wade.

Satisfy sweet teeth with this glamorous dessert of poached meringues, creamy vanilla custard and sticky, golden apples.
2 tbsp butter
3 apples, peeled, sliced
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
6 free-range eggs, separated
1.5 litres/2½ pints full-fat milk
6 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Melt the butter in non-stick frying pan, add the apples and dark brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the apples have caramelised.
Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until they form soft peaks form when the whisk is removed.
Pour about 900ml/1½ pints of the milk into a saucepan and bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer. Add three tablespoons of the caster sugar and stir until dissolved.
Gently drop a large tablespoonful (although you can make them as big or small as you like) of the egg white into the simmering milk and poach for two minutes. Remove the poached meringues using a slotted spoon and place in a shallow dish. Repeat until all the egg whites have been used. Keep the milk warm.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining caster sugar until pale and thick, then slowly stir in the remaining cold milk, whisking continuously.
Pour the milk and egg yolk mixture into the saucepan of hot milk used to cook the egg whites and stir continuously over a low heat for five minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken. Stir in the vanilla extract, remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
To serve, arrange the caramelised apples in the bottom of serving bowls, reserving the juices. Pour the cooled custard over the apples, then top with the egg whites. Spoon over the caramelised apple juices and serve.

A decent first animation. The framework is smooth, no jumping, good tweening and clipping. However, 10.9 mb file size? That's a hefty file for something that's about 30-45 seconds. I'd suggest looking into optimization. Other than that, everything was good, and nice work on the voicing.

So after my failed attempt at a pepsi can stove. I read up on other stoves, and the cat food stove really caught my eye by it's simplicity and price.I made a cheap windscreen out of foil which worked great, but I had no paper clips and was forced to use duct tape.I boiled 2 cups of water, and it was boiling within 6 minutes. I only used about 0.7 ounces of denatured alcohol, and at 10 minutes the stove was bone dry.So it's a REAL simple MYOG stove, and I plan to use the GSI kettle as seen in my photos for my upcoming PCT thru-hike attempt. The kettle is nice and easy to pour with a very wide base that has a nice balance of heat.And after a nice test on my stove, a nice cup of tea.
Edited by AliasDave on 01/06/2010 18:09:13 MST.
Dude you can't go wrong with these stoves. I made a few of them the other night. Just need to test them out. Sure beats my canister stove for weight!!
The cat can stove is a perfectly valid option for a lightweight alky setup. I used it on every trip last spring and summer and never had any issues with it, there really isn't anything to the design for there to be any issues, simplicity at its' best. My buddy used it on his attempted PCT thru last year and loved it. If all your doing is boiling water then the Cat Can stove is fool proof. A big bonus of the cat can stove is you can just bend it back to shape if you sit on it or it gets squished in your pack. I found placing a small piece of foil under the stove and priming with a small amount of alcohol sped the process along some. Drawback to the design however is you probably need to use more alcohol for a full boil than say a Caldera Cone setup. You might look into that as well. That GSI kettle is interesting. You might check out the MSR Titan Kettle, it has pretty much all the same features for over an ounce of saved weight, plus I think cleaning a traditional cylindrical shaped pot will fair you better along your PCT thru than trying to scrub food out of the GSI's tapered design. Just my two cents.
I made the beer can style and it works well for me. Yours would not be compatible with my heineken keg pot because it sends heat out the sides and would miss most of the bottom of the keg. I need to think about switching to a setup like yours, you dont need a pot stand with yours. by the way, if you make your foil screen a little longer, you can just pull the sides together and fold them over to hold the screen snug. Looks good, I think I'll whip one up.
I used one of these for my AT thru last summer. Its pretty much a no-brainer. I made a windscreen out of some aluminum sheeting I got at the hardware store instead of the foil. It fit right inside my pot and since it was a bit more sturdy it didn't move around in windy situations. Never made sense to me to have a windscreen that would blow away in the wind.
Dave,That looks great!I have been pondering on whether or not to buy a kettle and your pictures settled the issue for me! I'm tired of goofing with hot pots since I only boil water on a catfood can anyway. Holding the kettle and pouring from a spout looks like the way to go!Good job & Thanks!
Adan, look into Zelph's "Fancee Feast" stove.. Perfect size for a heineken keg can pot.. no pot stand needed, ~25g.You can buy one or make one yourself. One of the most efficient designs out there, can boil 2cups on like 1/2oz of fuel.
Edited by jdempsey on 02/05/2010 12:40:38 MST.
great stoves.
It's simple and easy.Andrew Skurka shows you how in this YouTube video.
Greg, that's a good, and super simple stove, but not the same as what I'm talking about..The "Fancee Feast" or however Zelph spells it, is a "ring of fire" type stove, that uses fiberglass wick, not a side-jet stove like Skurka's..Not that it matters, they're both solid designs.

The San Antonio Spurs will hire Becky Hammon as an assistant coach, after her 2014 WNBA season concludes. She will become the first female assistant coach in NBA history.
This news comes just days after the NBA Players Association elected Michele Roberts to lead the union. She was also the first woman to lead an American professional sports union, as TheCelebrityCafe.com previously reported.
Hammon (pictured above, 2005) has played in the WNBA for 16 seasons. She was voted an All-Star six times and was a two-time all-WNBA player, according to SB Nation.
Spurs head coach Greg Popovich told NBA.com, that he looks forward to bringing Hammon onto his staff.
"Having observed her working with our team this past season, I'm confident her basketball IQ, work ethic and interpersonal skills will be a great benefit to the Spurs," he said.
In July of 2011, Hammon was voted one of the top 15 WNBA players of all time.
Hammon started her career with the New York Liberty in 1999 after not being drafted. She spent eight seasons with the team before being traded to the San Antonio Stars in 2007, where she spent the rest of her career.

NEW YORK (AP) - JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), already beset by other costly legal woes, has agreed to pay $1.7 billion to settle criminal charges accusing the bank of ignoring obvious warning signs of Bernard Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme, federal authorities said Tuesday.
The government said the $1.7 billion represented the largest ever bank forfeiture and the largest Department of Justice penalty for a Bank Secrecy Act violation. The settlement includes a so-called deferred prosecution agreement that requires the bank to acknowledge failures in its protections against money laundering but also allows it to avoid criminal charges. No individual executives were accused of wrongdoing.
The deal was announced by the office of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who scheduled an afternoon news conference to detail the agreement to resolve criminal charges: Two felony violations of the Bank Secrecy Act in connection with the bank's relationship with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, the private investment arm of Madoff's former business.
Under the agreement, the criminal charges will be deferred for two years as JPMorgan admits to its conduct, pays the $1.7 billion to victims of Madoff's fraud and reforms its anti-money laundering policies, prosecutors said in a release.
JPMorgan didn't immediately comment on the settlement. It shares fell 55 cents to $58.45 in morning trading Tuesday.
The deal was similar to one reached in late 2012 with the British bank HSBC, which agreed to pay $1.9 billion to settle claims it laundered money for Iran, Libya and Mexico's murderous drug cartels. Some observers called the HSBC settlement -- which included a $1.25 billion forfeiture and $655 million in civil penalties -- an example of the government stopping short of bringing criminal charges against a big bank or its executives because such prosecutions could be devastating enough to cause the institution to fail.
JPMorgan was Madoff's primary bank in the later years of a multi-decade fraud that ended in 2008 when he revealed to the FBI that his investment advisory business was a Ponzi scheme.
Account statements for thousands of clients showing $60 billion in assets were fiction. Of the roughly $17.5 billion in principal that was real, most of it was gone.
Since then, a court-appointed trustee has recovered more than $9.5 billion to redistribute to burned clients. The trustee sued JPMorgan for $6.4 billion in 2010, accusing the bank of being "willfully blind" and "thoroughly complicit" in the fraud, but an appeals court found in 2012 that he had no legal standing to make the claim.
The JPMorgan settlement is the latest in a series of major deals it has made to resolve its legal troubles. In November, the bank agreed to pay $13 billion over risky mortgage securities it sold before the financial crisis - the largest settlement to date between the Justice Department and a corporation.
JPMorgan still has several lawsuits pending against it related to the high-risk mortgage bonds that soured after the housing market collapsed in 2007. There's also an ongoing criminal investigation led by the office of U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner in Sacramento, Calif.
The bank may be negotiating or litigating over the issue for years and has set aside $23 billion to cover those costs. JPMorgan told regulators in a filing in October that it may need as much as $5.7 billion more.
Madoff, 75, pleaded guilty and is serving a 150-year prison term.
