Elements (read for Digi-Scrap chat!!)
Okay,, this thread is to help those coming to my chat Thursday and to help me as I can refer to it during the chat and keep up with what I am talking about.
Embellishments. Besides the fact that you can add all different types to your layouts ranging from one or two,, to a couple dozen,, guess what? There are at least 4 dozen different types as well. I know a lot of people are using ACDsee and it's a great tool to organize your stash of digital scrapbooking items. But by the time I had learned about ACDsee I had already organized my stash this way and I have at least 23 gigs worth of digital products so I wasn't going to start over! If you are a newbie and start organizing with ACDsee right away absolutely,, it's a fabulous tool to use. If you are a newbie and don't want to purchase another program then you can try this method. Oh, one thing to remember,, I have a 160gig external hard drive so I have tons of space to organize my items this way.
First of all. All of my recently purchased items stay on my laptops hard drive for at least a month. Depends on how much I create and how much I purchase. Usually I have enough to burn a dvd at the end of each month, if it's not a huge amount I save using an extra dvd and burn at the end of the next month. It depends,, you have to play with that sometimes. Some people make it a rule to burn all pictures, layouts and new digi-scrap items at the end of each month onto cd or dvd. That's up to each persons own preference. It would save you a large headache though if something happens to your hard drive.
So organizing your stash. On my external hard drive (or this can be your regular hard drive) I have a folder named "Scrap Downloads". Inside I have 16 folders. They are named as follows:
- Actions
- Alphas
- Brushes
- Doodles and Shapes
- Elements
- Kits (full)
- Kits (mini)
- Layered templates (templates, speedbytes, sketch templates, designers tend to call these by lots of different names)
- Overlays
- Paper packs
- Paper templates (I have this one for designing paper for the store you all probably won't have this one)
- Papers solids (cause I have enough of them to justify making a separate folder for them, you might want to keep them in the paper packs folder)
- Premade albums (quickpages)
- Scraplifts (where I save thumbnails of layouts I want to scraplift)
- Shape templates (you may or may not have any)
- Sketches (before layered templates there were sketches, flattened examples of a page)
Okay,, got that! I know it's a lot to take in,, wait we are only getting started!
The biggest part of this project is sorting. When I sorted my stuff originally it was 18 gigs worth. It took me three days to do it. Thank goodness I was off from work those days. I was determined to NOT scrap till it was done so I HAD to finish.
So in the above mentioned folders you see Elements, Kits (full), kits (mini) and paper packs. Anything I bought that was only a paper pack went in that folder. Mini kits went into mini kits folder. Larger full kits went into the Kits (full) folder. Now where do I get the Elements folder from. Well, obviously any element pack would go in this folder. Any elements from a mini-kit or full kit would also go in there. Yes that means that on my external hard drive I have doubles of items. I know, I know,, the space I am taking up. But it gives me the option of looking at an entire kit together in one folder if I want to use only that kit for a layout,,, OR,, it gives me the option of looking in my elements folder at literally hundreds of elements and picking out all different ones to mix and match.
So when I open my elements folder it looks like this:
Now that view is only a small view of the folders inside. I actually have 52 folders inside my elements folder. YES,, you've read that right,, 52. Don't panic!!!! it's okay. you may not have as nearly as many elements as I have. Besides I have also done things like take all my staples and made a folder just for them because I have so many different types. But most people would keep their staples inside the "fasteners" folder. They could also be kept inside the "metals" folder. This isn't anything written in stone,, it's a guideline to work with. I learned this from another designer and then adapted it to meet my needs. Same thing for all of you. Take it one step at a time and see what you will need. If it means taking a piece of paper out and writing it down by all means do so.
Now the folders. Okay,, deep breath,, here we go:
- Beads and crystals (bling)
- Binder clips
- Bookplates
- bows and tag toppers
- brads
- buckles and slides
- buttons
- charms
- chenille, assorted
- coasters
- dated items (like pngs that look like date stamps but aren't brushes)
- decorative patches
- envelope ties
- envelopes
- fabric, assorted
- fasteners (misc)
- felt, assorted
- fibers and strings
- file tabs
- flowers
- frames
- glitter accents
- journaling pieces
- labels - fabric
- labels - paper
- lace
- metals
- misc (good god with all these folders do you know I actually STILL have stuff in this one)
- negative strips and polaroids
- paint accents
- paper piercings
- paper tears
- photo corners
- photo frames and borders
- photo prongs
- ribbons
- ric rac
- sequins
- shadow boxes
- stamps
- stapled ribbons
- staples
- stitches
- swirls and scrolls
- tags
- tape
- tape measures
- tickets
- trims
- twill pieces
- words and words art
- zippers
Are you all still with me??? or did you give up. Please,, please, don't give up.
I am extremely obsessive and that is why I separated them down into so many categories. I know that there are several folders that can be combined together,, for example ribbons and ric rac in reality could be together. Again NEVER hesitate to change this and make your own arrangement. Do what works best for you.
So,, I am going to end this thread here. I fear that if I go any further you will all fall to the floor dizzy! Read it over. See how it could work with your Digi-Scrap stash and join me Thursday night in the chat room at 9pm. and we'll discuss it all. Options, variations,,, and all the questions I am sure you all have now that I confused the heck out of you all!
See ya Thursday!!

I would like to thank you Tara, for taking the time to write all of this up for our benefit. For me personally, I found it EXTREMELY helpful. Especially, the way that you listed all of the folders that you have for your elements, like you said, it gives me a guideline to start my organizing.....and I needed that guideline very much!!
I reeeally hope to remember to make it to chat tomorrow night....i'll have to tie a string to my finger or something.....Patty
Say Hello if'n ya wanna.....userID PattyN
I like your organization. So far, I have several categories under embellishments, but I haven't gotten them down to sub-categories like I want them. That is on my someday list. I still need to get lots of downloads out of my holding file and into categories in my supplies file so I can at least have a chance at finding them. See you at the Chat tomorrow.
Do you think I'm crazy for printing all my kits out or do you think I should do it like you have Tara? What are the pro's and con's. If you don't have time to answer, I'll wait until tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

Great information - gave me some of the names of what the elements are called.
Looking forward to chatting with everyone tonight.
Wow Tara.. this is very informative... Great Job! Glad everyone's having fun getting organized...

Ten Steps to Personas
Guest Author: Dr. Lene Nielsen
Article INS-24./July 2007
Having worked with personas before the method ever came to be known as personas there are, from my research and practical experience, three important areas that have to be considered: the data material, engagement in the personas descriptions, and buy-in from the organization which is part of the development process whether it is redesign or a development from scratch. This is the rationale behind my development of 10 steps to personas, an attempt to cover the entire process from initial data gathering to ongoing development.
In the following I will briefly outline the 10 steps. Any project that uses personas does not necessarily need to follow all 10 steps as long as the responsible party knows the consequences of skipping a step.
Step 1: Finding the Users
The initial step is to get hold of as much knowledge of the users as possible. The data can originate from several sources: interviews, observations, second hand information, questionnaires, reports, cultural probes etc. In my experience large companies have often a lot of information about the users, reports from marketing, call centers etc. these can in some extend substitute real life meetings with users, but they also create problems as they do not focus on the subject that the project is about. This might become visible in the next step.
Step 2: Building a Hypothesis
Working with personas is focusing on users in a certain context which originates from the project. Often companies have a certain way of talking about their users that does not take into consideration the different context the users might be in when using a website or a system. In a recent project for a national Danish authority concerning redesign of a web portal business reports to different governmental authorities, the national authority had a tradition for dividing Danish businesses into categories of size and trades. From interviews with staff in the call center and reading of several a hypothesis was formed.
The former division of businesses did not make sense in this project, as it does not matter which trade the one who has to do the reporting is in, what matters it seemed is how big the company is, and whether the persons who reports is employed within the company or a consultant of some sort. There had been a number of surveys performed, but none of these had this division in mind and had to be reread from the new perspective.
Step 3: Verification
In my experience the most difficult task in persona project are 'how to cut the cake' - coming from data to a decision of how may personas descriptions to include. This takes several of the 10 steps and involves more than a group of consultants or project members to just hand over some descriptions.
In 'Verification' the focus is on finding data that supports the initial patterns and at the same time supports the personas descriptions and the scenario writing. The persona method requires a certain kind of information that can help generate engagement in the descriptions and support scenario writing e.g. what does the users like ad dislike, what are their values, what are their attitudes towards the system/site, in what conditions will they use the system/site? When these data are collected do they then support or go against the initial data.
Step 4: Finding Patterns
My inspiration in this and the previous step originates from making sense of data in qualitative inquiries. The way you know that you are on the right track is when others can follow your argumentation and others can come to the same result. Therefore it is of importance to show the categorization to other team members, project partners etc.
Step 5: Constructing Personas
A crucial step is what to include in a personas description and how to avoid creating stereotypes. I have quite often seen personas descriptions that either depict super humans or stereotypes that is difficult to engage in. In this phase you must remember that the whole purpose of personas is not to describe users as such, but to create solutions that use the needs of the persona as a starting point.
Drawing on knowledge from fictional writing of characters 5 areas need to be present in the description, not mentioned specifically, but possible for the reader to deduct from the description.
- Body (a photo or a description of how the person looks creates a feeling of the person as a human being, posture and clothing tells a lot about the person)
- Psyche (we all have an overall attitude towards life and our surroundings which also influence the way we meet technology e.g. is the persona introvert or extrovert)
- Background (we all have a social background, education, upbringing which influence our abilities, attitudes and understanding of the world)
- Emotions and attitudes towards technology and the domain designed for
- Personal traits. This one is tricky, in fictional writing there is a distinction between flat characters and rounded characters. The flat character is characterized by having only one character trait which is reflected in all actions the character does and creates a highly predictable character close to the stereotype. The flat character is difficult to engage in. The rounded character has more than one character trait, is not predictable and easier to engage in. When writing personas is becomes essential to avoid the stereotype and create descriptions that the project team members can engage in. Therefore it is advisable to look for information that repeats the same trait. In a case I had, the persona to be described liked to feel in control, from this the team members writing the description made her work for the tax authorities, this came to reflect her attitude to life, she became overweight and with few friends. For them the information of being in control created a negative attitude towards the persona that was repeated in all information.
The fifth step is also a step that can ensure that can enhance buy-in. In my experience it is few organizations who allow for team members to be part of the writing process instead they use consultants or the usability department to write the descriptions. The personas method should rather be perceived as a process where everybody should understand how the descriptions came about and what they can be used for. If you allow different team members to be part of the writing process they feel ownership for the personas. They can be rewritten be a single person to ensure homogeneity in writing and presentation, but it pays off later to include more in the writing process or as we did in a project, to let the participant choose the pictures for the personas.

I am fully aware that not everybody can be part of the process, newcomers arrive, a row of companies might be involved, but if the personas are not disseminated to participants they are not worth anything. It is not only the personas that need to be distributed to everybody, but also the data behind (the foundation document as Grudin, Pruitt, Adlin calls it) and not least how and for what you are to use the personas. Many projects forget to inform and teach developers and designers how to use the personas, how to think in scenarios or how to use them in the use-cases.
Step 6: Defining Situations
As mentioned earlier the real purpose of the personas is to create scenarios from the descriptions. This step is a preparation for the scenarios where it is described in which situations the persona will use the system/site or which needs the persona has that will lead to a use situation. Each need or situation is the beginning for a scenario.
Step 7: Validation and Buy-in
To ensure that all participants agree on the descriptions and the situations two strategies can be followed: ask everybody their opinion and let them participate in the process. Often the persona method is viewed as mean for communication users to developers and others, but is as much a process that ensures a user-centered development. Having a process view helps create sessions where as many stakeholders as possible can be involved in the developing the personas and in using them for design.
Step 8: Dissemination of Knowledge
I am fully aware that not everybody can be part of the process, newcomers arrive, a row of companies might be involved, but id the personas are not disseminated to participants they are not worth anything. It is not only the personas that needs to be distributes to everybody, but also the data behind (the foundation document as Grudin, Pruitt, Adlin calls it) and not least how and for what you are to use the personas. Many projects forget to inform and teach developers and designers how to use the personas, how to think in scenarios or how to use them in the use-cases.
Step 9: Creating Scenarios
As mentioned earlier, personas are nothing in themselves, it is when a persona enter a scenario they prove to be valuable. A scenario is like a story, it has a main character (the persona) a setting (somewhere the action takes place), it has a goal (what the persona wants to achieve), it has actions that lead to the goal (interactions with the system/site/device), and -not least- it has obstacles that blocks the way to the goal. I have seen quite a number of what I call happy scenarios, where a device solves all problems. Try to read this description of Mrs Tahira Khan and how she overcomes her diabetes and you will see what I mean. It is not a very realistic or convincing example that a 65-year old woman, who recently traveled to UK, who has undiscovered diabetes, hardly any understanding of the English language and relatively poor literacy in her own language overcome her diabetes with an electronic device.
Step 10: Ongoing Development
Lastly I recommend updating information on the personas. This can be done if user tests suddenly show new results or if something changes in the personas environments. It is crucial that not everybody is able to change the information, but knows whom to contact. I often recommend having a personas ambassador, who looks into the descriptions now and then, and who project participants can contact if they find irregularities in the descriptions. And as Adlin and Pruitt recommend in 'The Personas Lifecycle' to let the personas die, when they have outlived their purpose.

Many people assume they can decide what happens by sharing certain passwords with a trusted family member, or even making those passwords part of their will. But in addition to potentially exposing passwords when a will becomes public record, anti-hacking laws and most companies' "terms of service" agreements prohibit anyone from accessing an account that isn't theirs. That means loved ones technically are prohibited from logging onto a dead person's account.
Several tech providers have come up with their own solutions. Facebook, for example, will "memorialize" accounts by allowing already confirmed friends to continue to view photos and old posts. Google, which runs Gmail, YouTube and Picasa Web Albums, offers its own version: If people don't log on after a while, their accounts can be deleted or shared with a designated person. Yahoo users agree when signing up that their accounts expire when they do.
But the courts aren't convinced that a company supplying the technology should get to decide what happens to a person's digital assets. In 2005, a Michigan probate judge ordered Yahoo to hand over the emails of a Marine killed in Iraq after his parents argued that their son would have wanted to share them. Likewise, a court eventually granted Williams, the Oregon mother, access to her son's Facebook account, although she says the communications appeared to be redacted.
Enter the Uniform Law Commission. According to the proposal, the personal representative of the deceased, such as the executor of a will, would get access to — but not control of — a person's digital files so long as the deceased didn't prohibit it in the will. The law would trump access rules outlined by a company's terms of service agreement, although the representative would still have to abide by other rules including copyright laws.
That means, for example, a widow could read her deceased husband's emails but couldn't send emails from that account. And a person could access music or video downloads but not copy the files if doing so violated licensing agreements.
Williams said she supports letting people decide in their wills whether accounts should be kept from family members.
"I could understand where some people don't want to share everything," she said in a phone interview this week. "But to us, losing him (our son) unexpectedly, anything he touched became so valuable to us." And "if we were still in the era of keeping a shoebox full of letters, that would have been part of the estate, and we wouldn't have thought anything of it."

HIV and AIDS in the United States by Geographic Distribution
July 24, 2012
Understanding the places and populations that are most affected by HIV and AIDS allows the federal government to allocate its resources in such a way that they are matched to the geographic areas where they are needed most, while still supporting a basic level of HIV education and prevention for everyone across the country.
HIV in the United States
The following map shows the ranges of rates of persons living with a diagnosis of HIV infection at the end of 2008, by state; predominantly, states in the South and the Northeast report the highest rates. In 2008, the overall total rate for persons living with a diagnosis of HIV infection in the United States was 417.5/100,000 population.
AIDS in the United States
New AIDS diagnoses: At the end of 2010, the South accounted for 45% of the estimated 33,015 new AIDS diagnoses in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, followed by the Northeast (24%), the West (19%), and the Midwest (13%).
In 2010, the Northeast reported the highest rate of new AIDS diagnoses (14.2/100,000), followed by the South (13.0/100,000), the West (8.8/100,000), and the Midwest (6.3/100,000).
Living with an AIDS diagnosis: In 2009, the South accounted for 40% of the estimated 476,732 persons living with an AIDS diagnosis in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, followed by the Northeast (29%), the West (20%), and the Midwest (11%).
In 2009, the Northeast reported the highest rate of persons per 100,000 population living with an AIDS diagnosis (248.7/100,000), followed by the South (169.5/100,000), the West (133.6/100,000), and the Midwest (77.2/100,000).
AIDS deaths: In 2009, the South accounted for 48% of the 17,774 persons with a diagnosis of AIDS who died in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, followed by the Northeast (24%), the West (17%), and the Midwest (11%).
That same year, the Northeast reported the highest rate of deaths of persons with AIDS (7.7/100,000), followed by the South (7.6/100,000), the West (4.2/100,000), and the Midwest (2.8/100,000).
Deaths of persons with an AIDS diagnosis may be due to any cause.
AIDS in the United States, by Race/Ethnicity
Most people receiving an AIDS diagnosis in 2010 or living with an AIDS diagnosis at the end of 2009 were black, white, or Latino, reflecting the majority population groups of the United States.
What CDC Is Doing
Because the HIV epidemic is not evenly distributed across the country, CDC uses a strategy called High-Impact Prevention that invests its HIV prevention resources in the places and populations most affected by HIV and encourages the use of programs that will be most effective in those jurisdictions.
Examples of CDC's targeted approach to HIV prevention follow:
CDC is guided in its efforts to end the HIV epidemic in the United States by the 2010 National HIV/AIDS Strategy, which calls for reducing HIV incidence, increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes, and reducing HIV-related health disparities.

Complaint from Carmella D. Kowalewski of Farmington:
"I read your recent column about problem with TLC Oil in East Hartford with much interest . I wanted to share my very similar story with you.
I, unfortunately, signed a contract for a capped price. The only reason I did that was because they convinced me that I really had nothing to lose. After lengthy conversations and many questions, I felt informed and signed on the dotted line.
How wrong I was! I was told that my price could not go above the cap but would fall as the market fell. I was also told that I would be charged about 15 cents above the market/cash price to make up for the fact that they would lose money if and when the market price went over my cap.
Unfortunately, when I got a delivery and bill this fall, I was charged 80 cents over the market/cash price they were charging other customer. I called billing to inquire as to how they figured out the price to charge me but never got a straight answer.
The next time I got a delivery I was charged 70 cents above the market/cash price. I called my sales rep, who told me that I could change my contract as long as I didn't cancel it and that I should ask billing for a particial refund due to the "overages."
I happily called back billing, who said no way. Needless to say, I am not happy about being deceived and will never sign I contract with them again. I cannot wait till April 1st to get out of my contract!

When we started looking at potential places to move to, one of the first questions was whether we could bring out pets and, if so, was a quarantine required. The good news is that the answers are yes and no.
Yes, you can bring dogs, cats and birds into Ecuador
Yes, you can bring dogs, cats and birds into Ecuador with no quarantine. However there is a process to be followed which can seem a little daunting to the inexperienced. However, it's not that complicated and consists of only 3 steps which are written from the standpoint of coming from the US as that is what we did.
Step 1: Have a local USDA certified vet do a physical exam and fill out a health certificate. Ask your vet if they are certified and if not call around to the vets in your area. Alternatively contact the USDA to find out who they have in your city.
Step 2: The health certificate needs to go to the USDA office for them to stamp and seal it. Ecuador like many countries in this part of the world are big on stamps and seals.
Step 3: The certificate must go to the Ecuadorian Consulate that serves your area to be legalized aka stamped by them.
All of this needs to be done in no more than 10 days between the date of the health certificate and when you arrive in Ecuador.
What we did was send the health certificate via FedEx to the USDA with a pre-paid FedEx envelope addressed to the Consulate. We also included one for the Consulate to send the final approved health certificate back to us. This all took 3-5 days so we still had 5 days to present our animal(s) to the authorities in Ecuador. We've done it 3 times with no problems. Given that things change, we suggest using an expediter who stays current with the laws and will make sure you get through control on this end.

and Renovation De Muzerije
's-Hertogenbosch 2005-2010
Restoration, refurbishment and interior of two monumental buildings in the centre of 's Hertogenbosch
Gross surface Jeroen Boschhuis 4.600 m2
Gross surface former Loan bank building 1.300 m2
Commissioned by Municipality of 's Hertogenbosch
De Muzerije, a house for amateur art, offers the people of 's Hertogenbosch courses in visual art (photography, sculpture, painting) and theatre (dance, ballet, music) in different venues. After the earlier renovation of the former Bank van Leening on Schilderstraat, the restored and extended main venue on Hinthamerstraat 74, both designed by Hans van Heeswijk Architects, opened on 11 September 2010. The contemporary, functional additions have been meticulously inserted into the monumental buildings. A feature of Van Heeswijk's approach is the careful separation of the new additions from the existing structures.

Calling this reissued edition of the band's obstinately lo-fi
masterpiece Something About Airplanes "deluxe," however, might strike
the faithful as somewhat tongue-in-cheek. After all, the album sounds
like it was recorded to worn-out cassette on a thrift-store boombox
inside a massive, gutted, tin-walled, concrete-floored warehouse (and
all this time I thought it was just the pitiful-quality MP3s I
downloaded off Napster circa 2000 when I first caught wind of these
guys). But even the record's lo-fi edge can't fully distract from the
incredible songwriting and melodic sense captured on Airplanes. The
album possesses the catalytic urgency of Death Cab's early live shows.
In case you didn't happen to reside in the Emerald City in the late
'90s, Barsuk has graciously bundled the reissue with a bonus CD
containing a live soundboard recording of the band's first Seattle gig
at legendary venue the Crocodile Cafe. While the music is tight and
inspired, it's endearing to hear Gibbard tune his own Telecaster after
songs and Chris Walla marvel aloud at how many people showed up to the
gig. It's not difficult to hear the spark Death Cab had early on, and
all too obvious why they caught fire just a few years later.

Banks are pointing an accusing finger at the country's laws that govern and regulate their operations blaming their limited service reach, despite high demand, to stipulations of the laws.
Speaking to The Guardian in an interview held yesterday with the Tanzania Bankers Association (TBA) Chairman Lawrence Mafuru, said that banks are obliged to comply with these regulations and he gave examples.
"As bankers, we need more customers but we cannot provide bank accounts without proof of residential addresses for personal accounts…" and according to him, even worse is the case for organisations and SMEs who are to provide Certificate of formation/Incorporation, statement of shareholders or organisers, status of company and a board resolution for opening bank account for corporate account.
To ensure the quickest possible process, customers are advised to prepare all documents aforehand. Conversely, he requested the government to improve the banking environment by hastening the process of creation and dispensing the National identification cards and formalisation of business activities for banks to acquire accurate information timely.
Despite the limited scope in terms of new customers and retention, last month Mafuru denied allegations that banks are losing business to mobile financing systems and actually commended their efforts saying they compliment or rather supplement each other.
"…as bankers we compliment the telecommunication companies…they have made the transfer of money much easiest…." he conceded.
The issue of regulations has previously been addressed by President Kikwete who called on the financial institutions to do away with cumbersome banking procedures that are barring ordinary people from joining them and enjoying the financial services that they offer.
Kikwete said the number of people who own bank accounts in Tanzania is unacceptably small because of the long and unnecessary bureaucratic procedures ahead of opening bank accounts. As such the President asked banks to come up with better strategies to ease the procedure.
"It is not enough to continue complaining that the number of people opening accounts is very low…we should think of simplifying the procedures for people to join the financial institutions…" he asserted and warned that should banks continue with the prevailing prohibitive procedures, then people will also go on using other means to save their money.
Amongst these is the new trend, mobile financial service via hand-phones that are now commanding the largest transactions of money transfer from sending money to family to commercial transactions like the purchase of goods and services such as utitilities.
"We are in a very different era whereby competition requires you as banks to be innovative and come up with simpler means to attract customers…" the president advised them.
Banks however argue that mobile services are not robbing them of clients on the contrary they boast of growth and expansion and they are backed up by reports such as the FinScope 2009 survey on the demand for financial services in Tanzania, that showed healthy growth in the number of people using banks in the country.
The report showed that the population has grown by 10% over the past three years, at which the number of people holding a bank account has risen by 33%. Also, 26% of the population have no money to save or felt they lacked a 'lump sum' that was sufficiently large to start saving.
Yet the question of regulations was also raised in the survey where it was recorded that most people besides complaining of having too little money to save, they also felt that banks have ''too many conditions' they are physically not very accessible and costs of operating a bank account are also too high.

July 12th, 2010
There's no pretty way to say this. I was present for the death of the pig pictured above.
It was a grim, sodden day on an upstate New York farm. A local meat sciences professor named Eric explained to the pig's owners that the most humane method of slaughter was to shoot it at close range between the eyes with a .22 rifle - a stunning blow to knock its central nervous system offline - then slit the main artery so the blood loss would bring about swift, arguably less painful death. The blow would also supposedly reduce the stress on the animal, allowing for better meat quality.
The farmers, having researched the matter thoroughly and consulted with the Humane Animal Farm Care project, believed this to be true. Still, as they stood several yards from the slaughter, half sheltered in the doorway to their goat barn, they flinched at the stark crack of the rifle, and then they cried.
For as charming and vibrant as they are, it is simply impractical to keep pigs as pets on a farm. They don't produce milk like the farm's dozens of goats, can't be sheared for wool like their sheep, don't lay eggs, herd, chase vermin or scare away predators. They're simply not useful, from a strictly practical standpoint, so to buy and raise a piglet is a commitment to turning it into food. That doesn't make the act of their slaughter any easier to watch.
The vast majority of the Beekman Farm's livestock, over 120 goats at last count, along with chickens, a turkey or two and a llama who earns her keep as comic relief are housed in a clean, spacious barn. They are tended to, most affectionately, by Farmer John, who knows the name of every single animal on the premises. He, along with help from Brent (who lives there full time) and Josh (who commutes back and forth between Manhattan and Sharon Springs, New York) feeds them, cleans the barn, grooms them when needed (a llama's coat can get terribly matted) and harvests the goat milk that's used to make the Beekman 1802 soap and Beekman Blaak cheese that, in addition to Josh's salary as an advertising creative director, sustains the farm.
Walk into the barn, and roughly 120 heads crane in your direction and acknowledge your presence with a friendly baa. It's a really warm, friendly place to be. The pigs' sunken silo was like that, too. Porky and Bess would caper around the perimeter, accepting offerings of whole vegetables, wallowing in the mud, luxuriating in the sun or nestling together in the cool of the shade.
It's a comfortable place for a pig to be, which is why Eric advised that the slaughter take place there. Experts agree that often, the most traumatic part of the process takes place when an animal is uprooted from its home and led to an unfamiliar location, separated from its brethren, so Porky and Bess were killed where they lived.
For safety and filming reasons, I was tucked back in the barn, watching from a production monitor, and still overcome, Josh wandered over. He's a quick, funny man who wears his emotions right under the skin. Though the tears were no longer flowing, he was still wiping them away and was slightly choked in tone.
"I was worried...Brent and I were so worried that they'd kill the first one and the other one would be so traumatized, seeing its friend die. But Eric shot and the other one ran from the noise - and then came back and started eating like nothing had happened. I thought there would be more…"
He trailed off. I knew what he meant: Sorrow. But there wasn't - only a few minutes while the pig was still a pig, bleeding on the ground from a small neck wound, looking for all the world like it would roll back on its feet and get back to the business of rooting.
Eric and his two colleagues quickly attached the back legs of each pig to hook, chained onto a tractor and hauled the carcasses out of the pen to process, hanging, while they were still fresh. These things are calculated to take place on a cold, autumn day for longer working time and minimal stench.
I was allowed to emerge from the barn. This is why I was there. I'm not a morbid person by nature, but rather joyful and celebratory of all forms of life. My husband and I have two dogs, including an ex-racing greyhound and two rescued rabbits. We live among and adore animals of many species.
I was not there to exalt in the death of these pigs. Rather, I needed a gut check. While I spent seven years as a vigilant vegetarian, I am now a meat eater, and write frequently and passionately about my fondness for offal like sweetbreads, liver, tail and tongue. I love the flavor and rich history of these otherwise discarded and overlooked parts of animals. To many offal eaters, the enjoyment thereof is a sign of respect to the animal from which they came. If you're going to take away its life, you might as well use the whole thing.
I'd thought long and hard and made a bargain with myself. If I couldn't go and be courageous enough to see an animal I'd known alive, dead and turned into food, I had no right to keep on writing about it - or perhaps even eating it. If these animals were going to be forced to be sacrificed against their will, it was only right of me to use my own to be there, in witness.
Eric and his team made very short work of the pigs, flaying, beheading, gutting and cutting off the feet. In a matter of minutes, the creatures that had been Porky and Bess, snuffling in the mud just that morning, became a commodity.
Eric worked neatly and methodically, flaying off the pelt with a long, wickedly honed knife. In a manner befitting his professorial status, he explained each part to me as he unspooled it, steaming, shiny and shockingly clean from the hog's belly. Here's the liver, these are the kidneys - we'll toss this one out because I feel something hard - this is the "pluck" which is the lungs, et cetera. Don't want that? Okay. Here are the intestines and the bladder. Make sure you don't nick them with the knife. You want the heart? Okay. In the bag it goes. If you're taking the pelt, I recommend using boiling water to get the fur off.
I listened and took pictures so I could remember for later. This felt like meat class, rather than a memorial service, and in that, I felt oddly comforted and numbed.
The meaty parts - belly, haunches and so on - were hauled away to a processing facility to be turned into the ham, bacon, ground pork, lard and chops on which the Beekman residents would sustain themselves all winter. The offal - including the pelts, heads, feet, tails and innards - were handed to me in plastic bags so I could take them back home and process them to be eaten.
This was, quite literally, my gut check - standing in my yard with a clear plastic bag, filled with the unsorted intestines, stomachs, and other warm, quivering innards of an animal I'd seen alive just an hour before. I stuck my hands in, extracted the lacy caul fat (prized as a delicacy in classical French cooking) and uncoiled the many yards of small intestine.
From a separate bag, I hauled out the pelts and sawed off the tails and ears. Time was running short and the sun was emerging, so I stopped short of shaving the furrier parts - necessary before consumption. The saying goes that it's possible to eat "everything but the squeal" from a pig, but I've yet to find someone who's happy chomping into a mouthful of bristly pig hair. Once all the parts were sorted - I ran out of time for the stomachs and large intestines and left those for a friend's boyfriend to come and haul off for coyote bait - I lugged all the offal inside for packaging and refrigeration and spent the next hour washing, rewashing, washing again and then yet again the small intestines that Josh and I would eventually stuff with ground pork for sausage links.
Like Josh, my husband and I, much as we'd love to, can't spend all our time upstate, so we packed the food into coolers and trucked it the four hours down to Brooklyn, praying for gentle traffic flow and no overly inquisitive state troopers. In the car, I sent a text message to my friend, former Gourmet Magazine test kitchen chef Ian Knauer, another fan of offal, and avid hunter.
Ian came over later that week, toting a canteloupe-sized hen of the woods mushroom he'd foraged from his land in Pennsylvania. Under his expert guidance, we crafted a deep, earthy, cognac-laced pork liver pate and a star anise-accented head cheese, complete with a middle layer of apple dice - a play on the fruit often served in the mouth of a roasted pig.
I tuned out for a few minutes, focusing on shaking up a sidecar cocktail. While Ian is an accomplished chef, I'm an avid amateur - but I'm serious about my cocktails and know when I can be of use. When I handed him his drink, he pushed over a bowl. "Eat this."
While I'd been turned away, he'd shaved and rendered down a patch of the pig pelt from which I'd doggedly been carving fat. The cracklings he'd made were perfectly crunchy, soulfully flavored, purely and utterly pig.
I took a moment, nodded upward to the memory of Porky and Bess, and reached for another handful.

After entering your dimensions which requires a little attention, you can be confident that the items will fit you. I found the process for selecting and modifying a style easy to use. There is a very good selection of fabrics and your choice of fabrics can be refined by applying various filters. e.g. cotton, linen etc. I have made several separate purchases from Tailor4Less and have been well satisfied with all of them.

Tailor4less has a referral program where you can get a free shirt, pants or suit depending on how many people you refer actually buy something, but they pull all the tricks out to not have to actually give it to you. I referred someone and they bought. My "progress gift" as they call it showed up on my account and I ordered a free shirt. They charged my credit card for shipping. I waited, and waited. The free shirt never showed up, and when I logged on to my account all evidence of the… Read Full Review

Dear Customer,
We are really sorry to hear that you are not satisfied.
I would like to explain you once more how does work our Member Get Member promotion: a customer has to recommend some friends to buy at T4L. Once they buy, you will receive a code. The promotion is only valid if the customer recommends people, not like in your case. In your case, we tried to reach you many times as we found out that you recommended someone but it was the same person, I mean, you recommended yourself and obviously got a promo code. As the promotion does not work like that, we wrote you to inquiry about how could that be, that the measurements were the same.
As we did not get an answer from you in two weeks, we cancelled your order and refunded you the shipping costs, which you must have receive by now.
If you want to explain us what happened, and why the measurements and the profile data were exactly the same, we will be happy to check your case once more.
Once again, sorry for the inconveniences, but the basis of the promotion are explained at our site. Best regards, T4L

This type of response from Tailor4Less (above) is a typical example of their creativity and effort to not have to deliver what they owe to you, especially if its something free from their referral program. As I said, in my review, they have provided more than one "reason" as to why they don't deliver it. And these "reasons" are unrelated and change with the wind. And I really like how they charged me for shipping and then just didn't send the shirt, I guess hoping that I just might not notice.
Written on: 24/09/2014
You referred nobody but yourself, this is the reason why we did not produced you the shirt and why we refunded you back the shipping costs
Written on: 28/09/2014
UNBELIEVABLE! This is pure fiction. The lengths they go to not have to send you something that you are rightfully qualified for from their own referral program. People, just heed my experience and avoid this company! As I said before, they have provided several different "reasons" as to why they couldn't send me the free shirt. If one excuse doesn't work, they just change it and try another.

Before using the company I strongly suggest doing a search in Google for Tailor4less reviews because I wish I had! They promise high quality materials, so I ordered a pair of wool trousers. what came back were very cheap looking polyester type trouser. The sort you pick up from a market at £5 Their customer support is non existent and they won't refund. Don't take my word of it look do your research… Read Full Review

I've ordered a suit from Tailor4Less and I was very satisfied with my purchase. Everything was top notch from the quality of the fabric to the fit of the suit. I will be trying out their shirts next time.

When the alarm screams at 5:00 a.m. each morning to rattle me awake me for a day of teaching, I usually concoct a quick smoothie for breakfast that I slurp on the drive to work, for I need each precious minute to grade assignments and plan lessons rather than take time to make fancy fare.
The weekends are a totally different routine, though. Time is a gift on weekends, and I peruse the array of collected recipes, ready to experiment.
One of my more successful trials was the Spinach and Egg Strata (according to cookthink.com, a strata is a like a bread pudding casserole made with eggs, cheese, and stale cubed bread). For this particular recipe, I had all the ingredients on hand, and it was an easy solution to using up some of the leftover bread that tends to collect in the back of the fridge, like the last unused hamburger bun or the end pieces of sliced bread that neither hubby nor I like. From now on, I think I will freeze all those extra bits of bread and use them for stratas.
I didn't let the ingredients meld overnight as per recipe; nonetheless, the savory flavors of the herbs and cheeses as well as the fresh taste of spinach and basil shined through. I used individual 6-inch ramekins, which produced a hearty portion. Smaller ramekins would probably create more manageable amounts for one person, though.
Sidenote: The original recipe calls for two 4-inch ramekins and states the recipe makes two. However, I used two 6-inch ramekins and still had leftover bread mixture, which I used to bake one more strata the following day. So I would say this makes three 6-inch ramekins or probably four 4-inch ramekins.
I used multigrain sandwich bread which added a nutty flavor and texture. I also added fresh basil leaves which brightened the overall dish. And I used fresh spinach from our garden.
Overall, this recipe calls for just a handful of ingredients yet it packs a punch in terms of savory herb flavorings and a tangy cheese kick all hidden within the folds of a french-toast like texture from the mix of bread and eggs. "Yum" sums up this Spinach and Egg Strata, and it now ranks tops in my weekend breakfast fare.
Spinach and Egg Strata
- 4 pieces of bread
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- 4 large leaves of basil (not part of original recipe)
- 4 eggs
- 1 1 /2 cups milk (I used whole milk)
- 2 tsp. garlic
- 1 tsp. fresh oregano (I used 1/2 tsp. dried oregano)
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (I used cheddar cheese)
- sprinkle of parmesan cheese (not part of original recipe)
- The night before, tear up and mix bread, spinach, and basil. Place in two 4-inch ramekins.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, garlic, oregano, pepper, and salt. Pour over bread mixture. Top with mozzarella cheese, sprinkle with parmesan, and cover with plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator and let sit overnight.
- In the morning, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap and cover each ramekin with aluminum foil. Place ramekins on a sheet tray and bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove foil and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes or until egg mixture has set and casserole has puffed (my puffed casserole caved slightly after a few minutes). Serve warm.

Super E. Coli. It Will Kill You Dead.
Pandamonium ravages the Chinese countryside today as the Super E. Coli superbug makes the Asian nation a bloodbath of despair and chaos, the likes of which not seen since the Bubonic plague!
With Europe already under the death cloak of destructive damnation, Chinese officials fear the worse a startling 74% of their nearly 2 billion population do not have access to sanitary measures to prevent a quick spread of this deadly new pathogen.
Super E. coli has no weakness. A mutated form of gut bacteria, Super E. coli is well familiar with the humanity's 6,000 year-old defense mechanism.
Fear and panic tears through the hearts of millions, as home after home in both Europe and Asia are marked with black paint upon the door, indicating the abode has been gripped by the cold, paltry hands of infectious blood death disease.

Experts at the Robert Koch institute report terrifying news. The disease can spread through hundreds of homes in a fortnight, if not several dozen neighborhoods per day.
By this time next week, the deadly pathogen can travel across the ocean and rip through the heart of America.
You and your family can die. Your children, stuck in their rooms with high fevers and blood curdling coughs, and you will not be able to help, for the disease has a baffling 34% death rate for all adults over 25 years of age. The death rate doubles as age doubles. Your children will be left to fend for themselves.
It is the same death spread as seen with the Bubonic plague.
There is no stopping E. coli in its superbug form. No medicine can break its cell wall aprt. No amount of heat can denature its proteins. It is now being called "The Bacterial Angel of Death" and it is shrouded in a helacious coat of black sable soot from hell. There is no stopping this new plague and we must ask, is our civilization on the brink of destruction?
The Bubonic plague nearly wiped out Europe and now the E. coli plague may wipe out the world.
While vampires were to blame for the Bubonic plague, we must again ask if some sort of morbid blood letting ritual is responsible for this pathogen? Was it a new breed of vampires, addicted to the Twilight movies?
This theory is plausible and our only hope may be to destroy all literature involving vampires once more. It worked to end the Bubonic plague and it must be enacted again, lest you wish your child to be coughing on night and when you stagger to their room in a bloody, festering sweat of pus and tears, your stinging face witnesses them cough so hard their little lungs come flying from their mouths, the compression of the lungs you see through your blurry, crusted eyes, as their little voices eeps out "Help me momma".
"Help me poppa".
Will we help outselves? Who is to know. This disease scares you to death and you do not want to lose your life or your family. Stand strong and be ready to do what it takes to fight this bug. The alternative is suffering, pain and great death for all of us.
Beware and be well, friends, as we endure. Beware and be well, for the death knoll shall be coming to us all soon.

text: Gr 4-8--Written to encourage girls to explore science, these books accomplish their goal. Featuring color photos of budding scientists at work, each title includes at least 10 experiments that can be conducted at home with fairly basic materials. The instructions are clearly written and indicate when adult help is necessary. "Insider Info" sections at the end of each experiment give an explanation of the science behind the activities. The complexity of the experiments varies within the volumes. For example, in Biology, readers are taught how to color flowers with food coloring as well as how to extract DNA from a banana. In Chemistry, they learn how to make "Peppermint Lip Balm" and "Earth-Friendly Plastic." Look elsewhere for more complex science fair-type experiments, but the ones here are fun and accessible.[Page 98]. (c) Copyright 2012.

Plone Stickies
PloneStickies is a product for creating content annotations on Archetype Content Types.
Project Description
The product uses the metaphor of Stickies to help guide the user interface. Stickies are created on a per user, per object basis. Stickies are connected to target objects using AT References.
The Sticky product ships with a StickiesTool which provides many convenience methods
for manipulating Stickies.
The product comes with a Sticky type which contains a text field which can be used to make free-form text annotations.
The product is not actually intended to be used out of the box. At the moment, the out of the box experience does not add much value to a website. Instead, the included stickyBox slot and the technique used to view the stickynote contents added to the 'document_actions' are meant as examples of how these features might be included in a customized Plone application.
For a better idea of how this tool was used in a live application, see the images in the included docs/screenshots directory.
In that application, Stickies were used to implement both 'Essay' responses to questions, as well as private 'Notes' on assets.

Authorities are still deciding whether to charge the owners of three dogs that killed a woman over the weekend in a gruesome rampage that left two other people wounded.
Neighbors say the dogs have been a roaming menace for months in the rolling ranchland near Kiowa in Elbert County. Undersheriff Jim Underwood says the animals were involved in previous attacks.
One of the owners of the dogs has been identified as Jacqueline Mccuen. Spokesman Mike Knight of the district attorney's office says
Mccuen could face charges ranging from a misdemeanor to a felony,
negligent homicide.
Knight says a misdemeanor charge involving the dogs was filed earlier against Mccuen. That charge is still pending. Sunday's attacks began about dawn, when the dogs killed 40-year-old Jennifer Brooke after she went to her horse barn. Brooke's ranch partner, 24-year-old Bjorn Osmunsen and a neighbor, Lynn Baker, were also attacked by the dogs. Baker says he thought he would die. He calls the dogs "monsters" that went for his throat.
Baker's teenage son Cody shot and wounded two of the dogs, allowing Baker to escape into the house. Baker also shot one of the dogs twice. An Elbert County Sheriff arrived and killed the dogs with a pistol.
Health officials are determining if the dogs were rabid.

2weeka after xray,i found myself pregnant,20minutes procedure under an xray,should i keep the baby?

i would keep the baby just go in for an ultrasound and if everything is working and developing keep it and if not their are lots of people looking to adopt even if the baby has something wrong.posted 08/28/2009 by lindsey.aiden.elizar
If I where you, I would talk with my doctor to fnd out what possible risks there are that could have been imposed on the child, & what the long term affects could be, & how extensive the medical care could be for a child with the said long term affects. But if after talking to my doctor it turned out that things could be fine, I would def keep the baby. This is coming from someone who was not in the exact same situation but close. Before I found out I was pregnant with my son I had x-rays done on my back, & granted the x-rays only took a few minutes but my son turned out fine. I talked with my doctor & the risks even though sevre, I felt that it wasnt cause to have an abortion, or put the baby up for adoption. The choice is yours, but I do think that you should talk with your doctor before you make any decisions.posted 08/23/2009 by Blonide4now06

Given that there is no prospect of Iran initiating missile strikes or other military action against Israel – I mean that it will only fire in response to an Israeli or an American-and-Israeli attack - what is the real purpose of the forthcoming exercise?My speculation is that President Obama may have approved it for a self-serving reason of (American) domestic politics.
It could also be that Obama has calculated that such a demonstration of his support for Israel's security at the end of his first term will give him enough credibility in the bank of American Jewish opinion to allow him to continue to prevail on Israel not to attack Iran in his second term.
But there is another possibility. It could be that Obama fears that in the event of failure to resolve the nuclear crisis by diplomacy, stopping Israel from attacking Iran at some point will be a mission impossible whoever is on watch in the White House.
An Israeli attack on Iran could set the region on fire and leave the US with no choice but to become fully engaged militarily. With that possible scenario in his mind, Obama may have concluded that the forthcoming exercise with Israel will assist US forces to be best prepared for a doomsday situation in the Middle East and possibly far beyond.

|Here is a selection of my personal favs from my gallery. Enjoi
Taken in in the beautiful Munnamurra Rain Forest on a slighly overcast day! Love the greens and crisp details in the leaves. Perfect lighting for this one!
I just love this shot! Straight from the camera's sensor, just beautiful Wish I got to wake up to that every day... Maybe I should get it framed so I can
Most of my life I have lived in the Lower Blue Mountains, around an hour west of Sydney, Australia.
I also married in November 2007 in the Blue Mountains, it is truly a beautiful place and where a lot of my photography is taken.
It's obvious that I have a passion for photography simply by browsing my gallery. However my talents extend beyond photography and every now and then I love to create websites, code CSS, graphic design and even draw or sketch. However most of my work will be photography orientated.
Everything that you will see in my gallery, is me, all self taught. The only non-self taught event I attended was a 2 day basic photography course to brush up skills, but I don't feel it influenced my style rather my camera holding technique.
Around deviantART
I am Co-Founder of the Sydney Art and devMEET Group SydneySyders. The second co-founder AB-Photography is also a great mate, fellow photographer and is great with the ladies! jks
If you want to meet me in person (I wouldn't know why), I'm usually at every SydneySyders devMEET. If you check the SydneySyders journal you'll see upcoming meets that I may be attending
There are many ways that you can contact me. I'm on a few other websites and of course your popular social websites! Most common way is to send me a note, but if you like other methods try:
