Home Depot's CEO Craig Menear will take over as chairman of the board when Frank Blake retires Feb. 2.
The Home Depot has named Craig Menear, currently president, U.S. retail, as CEO and president, effective November 1, and has elected him to the company's board of directors, effectively immediately. Current chairman and CEO Frank Blake will remain chairman.
The Home Depot elevated 14 year veteran Ted Decker to the role of EVP of merchandising to oversee all aspects of merchandising strategy and operations.
The Home Depot has promoted Craig Menear to president, U.S. retail. Menear was previously EVP, merchandising, responsible for all merchandising departments and merchandising services and strategy; the company's supply chain network; global sourcing; vendor management; marketing; and online sales.
Speaking at The Home Depot's 2012 Investor and Analyst Conference in Atlanta, Home Depot EVP merchandising Craig Menear revved up the power tool rhetoric.
Home Depot's Craig Menear, EVP merchandising, shared details and data from a first quarter that saw double-digit comps in certain seasonal product categories.
Atlanta-based Home Depot's wind-and-storm aided sales effort in the third-quarter presented several category highlights, according to EVP merchandising Craig Menear.
Atlanta-based Home Depot reported first quarter earnings of $812 million, up 12% from earnings of $725 million in the first quarter last year.
Home Depot is tinkering with the idea of cutting back the space dedicated to kitchen showrooms. "We're piloting the removal of up to 40% of the space dedicated to kitchen showrooms," said Craig Menear, Home Depot's EVP merchandising, during the company's recent investor and analyst conference.

May has been designated as Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month, and this means it's time to focus public attention on the issue of teen pregnancy — the prevalence, problems, progress made and strategies for prevention.
In terms of numbers, the rates of teen pregnancy have declined sharply since reaching a peak in 1998. This is true on national, state and local levels. In fact, the rate nationally has reached an all-time low.
The Department of State Health Services tracks the rates for Potter and Randall Counties. In Potter County, the rate in 2009 (the most current year for which statistics are available) was 38.6. This means that out of 1,000 females between the ages of 13 and 17, 38 became pregnant. By contrast, in 1998, Potter County's rate was 54.1. This 29 percent decline in teen pregnancy rates is no doubt good news.
And yet, when teen pregnancy is the concern, complacency is never an option. As many as 151 females 17 and younger residing in Potter County and 52 in Randall County gave birth in 2009. Because of the close relationship between teen parenting and poverty, the problems associated with teen pregnancy extend far beyond the teens and their immediate families and impact entire communities. Sadly, the children born to teen parents, the ones who need help the most, are the ones least likely to get help. Children born to teen parents have a greater likelihood of low birth weight and neonatal, physical, emotional and behavior problems. Teen mothers are more likely to drop out of school, and teen fathers will be responsible for child support for many years. Only 50 percent of teen moms will get a high school diploma by the age of 22.
Even for those who remain in school, life becomes more of a struggle. Because of the time and energy teen mothers must devote to their children, their grades often decline and ironically, as prospects for the future become increasingly dim, these teen mothers become pregnant again.
Children born to teen parents are more likely to become teen parents themselves, and the cycle of teen parenting repeats itself.
Families of teen parents cannot help but be changed as parents and grandparents become responsible for much of the child-rearing. Schools also feel the effects of teen parenting since teachers and counselors must give special attention to the problems of children born to teens. And because teen parents often do not have insurance, it becomes the responsibility of communities to bear the brunt of medical costs.
Teen pregnancy is a complex issue, and there is no one single factor that accounts for the decline in rates we have seen recently. After years of research, however, we do know more about teen pregnancy than we did previously, and this greater knowledge allows us to be more successful in efforts to prevent teen pregnancy before it occurs.
We know that parents have been and continue to be the most important influence on teens and that effective parents stay closely connected to their teens, monitor their behavior, and set firm rules and guidelines. Clergy also are important, and youth ministers often act as surrogate parents. Teens who haven't had sex say that their primary reason for abstaining is their religion or morals.
Schools can and do assist in pregnancy prevention and perhaps their biggest impact is in keeping students involved and focused on goals. Marion Wright Edelman has said hope is the best contraceptive, and youth with hope and dreams for the future are more likely to take precautions to avoid pregnancy.
In the past few years, help has come from a rather unlikely source — the media.
Programs such as MTV's "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" as well as Lifetime's "The Pregnancy Pact" and "The Pregnancy Project" present a realistic picture of the consequences of teen pregnancy and the impact it has on the lives of teens and their families. Teens watching these shows are often shocked to find out that 8 out of 10 fathers do not marry the mothers of their children. When watching these shows, teens witness the sleepless nights and constant attention infants demand.
Social media and websites have also played a role in pregnancy prevention. The website 9ine, pic .tv/9ine, gives an excellent account of how teen pregnancy impacts the lives of fathers. These short, 10-minute videos also can be easily accessed on cellphones or iPads. Most media materials are available on the local Teen Pregnancy Pregnancy Coalition website, www.ama-tppc .org.
In the final analysis, much of the credit for the decline goes to teens. Rather than thinking, "It can't happen to me," teens are waking up to the realization that teen parenting can and does happen to you. Teens have seen friends and families struggle to provide for children born to teen parents, and they realize it is not all fun and games. Although they want to someday have children, they are more oriented toward the future and willing to delay parenting until they are emotionally and financially ready to give their children the best future they can.

Health Services Utilization
In 2005, over 28 million adults in the United
States reported receiving mental health treatment
in the past year. Women represented approximately
two-thirds of users of mental health
services. The most common type of treatment
obtained was prescription medication, followed
by outpatient treatment. Almost 16 million
women reported using prescription medication
for treatment of a mental or emotional condition,
representing 14.1 percent of women aged 18 and
older, compared to 7.0 percent of men. Outpatient
treatment was reported by 8.9 percent of
women, and inpatient treatment was reported by
1.1 percent of women.
Mental health services are needed, but not
received, by millions of adults in the United
States. In 2005, 3.7 percent of women and
2.3 percent of men reported an unmet need for
mental health treatment or counseling. Cost or
no insurance was the most commonly reported
reason for not receiving needed services, reported
by 47.1 percent of women and 51.8 percent of
men with unmet mental health treatment needs.
Others mentioned feeling that they could handle
their problems without treatment (reported by
34.3 percent of women and 28.8 percent of men
with unmet needs). In addition, stigma, including
concern about the opinions of others, effects
on employment, or feelings of shame, embarrassment,
or fear prevented 19.6 percent of women
and 24.0 percent of men with unmet needs from
receiving treatment.

Stop Obamacare Penalties Now was conceived as a multi-phase project. The first phase has been a great success. It consisted of twelve rallies in cities across Oklahoma, organized by local volunteers, with invited legislative and governmental speakers and a closing speaker to address future action. Hundreds of rally participants were invited by thousands of emails and tens of thousands of phone calls. An already vibrant network of activists has been united and expanded in common cause – counteracting the penalties contained within the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. You might know the PPACA as Obamacare.
Tens of thousands of people across Oklahoma have only just begun to feel the impact of this law. Insurance has been canceled in many cases, while coverage, rates and deductibles have skyrocketed in others. More is to come – starting with tax penalties for individual and corporate non-compliance. While the first year penalties are low, they increase dramatically from here. For reference (from the National Federation of Independent Business):
Individual non-compliance penalties (whichever is greater):
2014 - $95 or 1% of income above tax filing threshold
2015 - $325 or 2% of income above tax filing threshold
2016 - $695 or 2.5% of income above tax filing threshold
Family non-compliance penalties (whichever is greater):
2014 - $285 or 1% of income above tax filing threshold
2015 - $975 or 2% of income above tax filing threshold
2016 - $2085 or 2.5% of income above tax filing threshold
As the above number illustrate, an enormous financial burden will be imposed on the people of Oklahoma – with the impact on those who can least afford it particularly galling.
The entire Congressional delegation voted against this legislation on initial passage. The entire state – via State Question 756, the Oklahoma Health Care Freedom Amendment – voted against this legislation. Despite these actions, implementation looms. Fortunately, there ARE things that can be done.
Numerous bills have been filed in the State Legislature to fight this battle. The second phase of this project is about to begin. Legislation will be tracked, and the public notified of votes and the lack of votes for pertinent bills. As the House and Senate act, eyes will be watching the process and voices will be raised, hopefully praising a concerted effort to use the authority of the State of Oklahoma to intercede between federal tyranny and individual freedom. Both positive and negative actions by individual Representatives and Senators will be widely reported.
To begin this next (but not final) phase of action, the public is invited to come to the STOP Capitol Day on Tuesday, February 4th. Several speakers will address the crowd, after which the public is encouraged to seek out their legislators and discuss these matters. Volunteers will be available to help those who attend. Here are the details:
What: Legislative Action Day
When: Tuesday, February 4th, 2012 at 12:00 Noon
Where: Oklahoma State Capitol

|Amnesty International's Track Record in Haiti since 2004
|Written by Joe Emersberger
|Tuesday, 06 February 2007 02:03
The coup that ousted Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide on February 29, 2004 led very predictably to the worst human rights disaster in the Western Hemisphere over the following two years.[1] It is worth reviewing how the world's most famous human rights group, Amnesty International, responded.
Aristide was twice elected President (in 1990 and in 2000). His first government was overthrown in a coup in 1991. The outcome of the 1991 coup was horrific and well documented. Thousands were murdered; tens of thousands were raped and tortured; hundreds of thousands were driven into hiding. The victims were overwhelmingly supporters of Aristide and his Lavalas movement. The 1991 and 2004 coups were both the work of the US government, Haiti's elite and their armed servants. Canada and France collaborated extensively with the planning and execution of the second coup.[2]

A man wanted on five active felony warrants was arrested in La Junta Thursday morning. La Junta Police arrested Johnny Nunez, 30, who was wanted on five warrants, including a warrant stemming from an incident in early November. On Nov. 5, officers were called to the 1500 block of East Sixth Street on a report of felony menacing. Upon arrival, Nunez had already fled the scene and a warrant for felony menacing was issued. Police officials said they received a tip that Nunez was at an apartment complex on the east side of La Junta and they responded, ultimately arresting Nunez.

We have now closed the book on November, a volatile month that presented both opportunity and risk in healthy quantities. After the re-election of President Barack Obama, the market headlines began to focus heavily on the looming "fiscal cliff."
Click here to sign up for a free, no obligation 5-day trial in December to any of our Private Mentoring Rooms.
First, what is the fiscal cliff? It refers to $600 billion worth of tax cuts and spending programs that are set to expire at the end of 2012. The belief is that with higher taxes and less spending to stimulate our still-fragile economy, we will slump back into recession. Going over the fiscal cliff would not necessarily trigger financial Armageddon immediately, but it would weigh on what has been a slow economic recovery over the last several years.
Republicans and Democrats disagree fundamentally on how to address the situation. President Barack Obama and the Democrats want to bridge the gap by extending middle class tax cuts but letting taxes go up for Americans making $250,000 or more. Republicans want to renew all of the tax cuts and cut government spending programs. Both parties have dug in their heels for a long and contentious negotiation that is expected to go right down to the January 1st deadline.
Investors have been hearing all about the fiscal cliff, but many are probably asking, "how will this affect my portfolio?" In the two weeks following President Obama's re-election, the market showed extreme anxiety over the issue and sold off sharply. Even up through early this week, any pessimistic comments from Washington have been set with selling in the market.
The potent market reversal we saw on November 16th came after the first indications that Republicans and Democrats may be capable of compromise after all. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made positive comments about the initial negotiations, and investors bought stock in droves. In the past several days, we have seen the market absorb some pessimistic comments well, suggesting perhaps an underlying confidence that a deal will get done.
We still stand on very shaky ground, though. As traders, we are going to have to wrestle with the fiscal cliff headlines throughout the month of December.
Heading into such an important month, we want to give all of you the chance to gain access to our team of professional trading mentors - FOR FREE! That's right, because we believe there will be copious amounts of both risk and opportunity in December, we want to make sure you have the opportunity to get hands-on mentoring from professional traders who will be actively navigating the market with you.

We hope to see you in one of our mentoring rooms this month!

Organized by BPL Broadcast, the ConnectedWorld.TV Awards celebrated the exciting developments in television and video at the intersection of broadcast and the internet. The awards honored creative broadcasters as well as innovative technology companies and consumer electronics manufacturers.
Connected Consumer Awards 2013, MediaTel
Pioneers of new advertising and commercial opportunities in the connected industry were celebrated at the inaugural Connected Consumer Awards last night, hosted atop the impressive Nomura building in central London.
"The Connies", as they have come to be known, were hosted by chair of the judges, Graham Lovelace, alongside renowned media journalist Torin Douglas at the end of the two-day Connected Consumer conference and have now helped set an innovation bench-mark for the connected industry.
The Best Technology category was won by Civolution, with SyncNow, for powering "impressive, synchronised second screen experiences," and providing "multiple second screen products and a whole series of solutions to create a workable product," according to judge Stacey Anklam, managing director of Wolverine Consulting. "They have essentially created a market."

Second screen app for The Walking Dead
End user: FX UK
Technology partners: Red Bee Media and Civolution
Consumers now routinely using laptops, smartphones or tablets at the same time as watching television. Broadcasters are keen to take this trend and create a new and immersive experience by synchronising a second screen app with the broadcast programme.
Broadcaster FX UK wanted to enhance its audience's experience of post-apocalyptic horror series The Walking Dead, and asked Red Bee Media to develop not just an app but, using technology from Civolution, a means of linking it to the television programme. This uses audio watermarking to keep the two in sync, whether the viewer is watching it as broadcast or on demand.
CSI Awards
The CSI Awards are one of the most comprehensive and competitive technology awards anywhere in the world, designed to reward technical and product marketing excellence in the cable, satellite, terrestrial broadcasting, mobile and IPTV sectors. They are organised by CSI magazine and usually held at IBC, Europe's most important exhibition for the combined broadcast community.
In 2011, Civolution was awarded the best interactive TV technology or Application.
In 2012 Civolution was awarded the Best interactive TV technology or application – SyncNow.

Hundreds of companies are from each region are reviewed in a rigorous 3-step process that looks at all aspects of the company (financials, CAGR, innovation, customers, IP, etc.). Companies that make it past step 1 and 2 are invited to be part of the final step, the regional Top 100 Forum, where they compete for a top 100 spot.
TV Innovation Awards
The TV Innovation Awards are one of the premier endorsements of innovation in television and recognize the most forward- thinking companies creating products and services that are changing the way people watch television.
Content Protection
One of the critical issues facing the TV paradigm of virtually all video content being available anytime, anywhere on the device of choice, is the protection of that content to ensure its producers and distributors continue to receive fair revenues. The industry is cognizant of what happened to the music and video industries, and is anxious not to lose control of its programming and content.
This award category is intended for innovative solutions that help to protect content both during initial delivery and when stored locally.

I loved handsome blogger Dale's comment on my last post, referring to the Zang Toi dress that I wore to an Oscar party: "Awesome, why do I never get invited? Next time, it's flowers on my ass and I'm a shoo-in!" Meanwhile, my gorgeous friend Jane, who was at the party, wondered, "Were the flowers way down on the back of your dress your response to the 'butt bow'!?!" These remarks made me realize that ass flowers are, indeed, the new butt bow. I don't mean that butt bows are going out of style — how could they? — but if a butt bow is unavailable when urgently needed, you may substitute ass flowers.
Separately, thanks to gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted for the wonderful post she wrote about me after coming over to check out my jewelry designs. As a bonus, she managed to take the only good photo I've ever had of one of my favorite Ossie Clark dresses, previously barely seen here. I've always admired Jennine's photography skills.
Jennine is doing London Fashion Week now, so stay tuned to The Coveted for more great pictures.
UPDATED TO ADD: My vintage-loving and -selling friend Cherie of Shrimpton Couture got so excited about Jennine's photos of my Ossie that she gave me the star treatment on her blog. She also has a number of Ossies for sale. If you buy one, maybe you will get the star treatment too. Go shopping here.
UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: Here's a picture from the party of me with Jane, who, as I mentioned above, gets credit for the ass flower/butt bow connection. Jane was wearing a fabulous '20s-style frock. The long necklace is perfect for that look.

Always the trendsetter, WendyB. I'm glad to hear that ass flowers are merely a hot, new look and not supplanting the butt bow. That would be tragic.

You look absolutely beautiful in jennine's picture. Also great dress!!
Butt bows, ass flowers……will we ever be able to freely sit down again?
Now that I read this post, I wonder how in heck I could have missed the opportunity to refer to your @ss flowers as . . . .

The American Cancer Society in the Northstate said today it supports CVS Caremark's decision to pull all tobacco products from store shelves.
"I think it's a huge step what CVS has done," said Judi Rumsey, an American Cancer Society volunteer.
"We are still losing 480,000 people a year, annually, to smoking or some kind of smoking related issue. If we make the tobacco and their products and all the ancillary things that go along with them unavailable to them, maybe it will encourage those people that are on the border to quit," explained Rumsey.
The nation's second-largest drugstore chain announced it estimates it will lose about $2 billion in annual revenues by removing all tobacco products.
Here's background on CVS Caremark's decision.
"It's really very important that we acknowledge that was a huge thing for CVS to decide to do," said Relay for Life Specialist Denise D'Amico Johnson, of the American Cancer Society.
"It's going to cost them a lot of money each year, but it is a very important and much supported decision by a lot of people right here," explained D'Amico Johnson.
Larry J. Merlo, CVS Caremark's President and CEO made his stance on selling tobacco quite clear, "Put simply, the sale of tobacco products is inconsistent with our purpose."
Tobacco products are expected to be taken off store shelves by October.

Baleens are thin, long, somewhat triangular plates of keratin (the same material human hair and finger nails are made of) that grow down out of the skin covering the upper jaw. In the edges, these plates have lots of loose threads of keratin (a kind of hair) that forms a fine-mazed filter. Each species has a unique type of baleen: you can identify the species by the colour, width and length of the baleen plates. The blue whale has over 500-800 usually black, relatively short baleen plates (less than 1 m long and usually wider than they are long). The gray whale has 280-360 yellowish white, rather thick baleen plates, which are up to 45 cm long and 23 cm wide. The bowhead whale has the largest baleen: 650-720 dark baleen plates which are up to 30 cm wide and up to 430 cm long. Before birth, baleen whale embryos have rudimentary teeth, but these are resorbed before birth. Out of the skin on the upper jaw, baleen plates start to grow. At birth these plates are still soft, but they become hard soon afterwards. The baleen plates continue to grow throughout a whale's life.
The way baleen whales feed differs per group. Rorquals usually have a gulping style of feeding: they take large mouthfuls of water with food items in it. In the process, the throat extends enormously. They then close the mouth and push the tongue up against the palate and press all the water out through the baleens. The small creatures in the water are caught in the baleen and are swallowed when all the water is gone. Right whales however collect their food by swimming at or near the surface with their mouths open. The water then washes through their mouth, entering through an opening between the rows of baleen at the front and leaving through the baleen. The animals in the water are trapped on the baleen and are swallowed. Gray whales are bottom feeders: they dive to the bottom, scoop up a mouth full of sand, animals and water and force out the sand and water through the baleen. The bottom of the feeding areas of gray whales is usually full of circular craters caused by this way of feeding.
The humpback whale is a rorqual, and has a gulping feeding still. But this species has developed a special technique for making its feeding more efficient. Some whales dive down near a school of fish and slowly circle around the school towards the surface. On their way up, they constantly blow bubbles. In this way, they trap the fish in a net of bubbles and the fish will be concentrated in the centre of the ring of bubbles. The whales then come up in the middle of the bubble ring with mouths wide open and scoop up water with very high concentrations of fish. This remarkable fishing technique is called bubble-netting.
The amount of food a baleen whale needs of course depends on its body size. A large blue whale would need about 4,000 kg of krill perday. The much smaller minke whale would need about 71 kg per day. A blue whale can take up to 1,000 kg of krill in one feeding session. However, most whales do not feed the whole year. A lot of species feed in summer in cold waters and spend the winter in warmer waters without an abundance of food. During the feeding period, the whales may increase 50-65% in weight.

A new study has shown that empathy, long thought to be a uniquely human characteristic, is not just the preserve of homo sapiens.
Gallus gallus — or the common hen, to you and I — may not be so bird-brained after all. Researchers at Bristol University have recently concluded a series of experiments, which showed that chickens clearly exhibit empathic traits and signs of anxiety when their young are disturbed.
This is the first time such results have been gleaned from any creature in the bird species and the researchers said that the outcome may have implications for the welfare of chickens raised in battery farms.
In humane tests, the feathers of chicks were ruffled by gusts of air and the hens' reactions were monitored. The hens clearly showed what in psychological terms is described as 'mirroring', in which the hens became increasingly alert, their heart rates increased, and their eye temperatures lowered — a tell-tale sign of anxiety. The hens also dramatically reduced their preening activities and 'clucked' at the chicks more than usual.
The researchers also noted that in battery farms, commercially-reared chickens may be highly affected when encountering others who are distressed "owing to routine husbandry practices or the high prevalence of conditions such as bone fractures or leg disorders".
Study leader Prof Joe Edgar explained: "We found that adult female birds possess at least one of the essential underpinning attributes of empathy — the ability to be affected by, and share, the emotional state of another." The findings were published recently by the Royal Society.

Smarty Pants! [DL] by CobbaltCOWatch
©2012-2016 CobbaltCO
i really like her mane...
Well I do like this, its pretty good, but under Gmod 13, I do get the light warp bug, which is kinda ugly (also happened on Flim and Flam's tails) since it makes the mane purple. I saw that some talked about this in SFM, and dunno if others do have the same problem as I do. Anything you could do about it? I thank you already in case I do not anwser again in a while.
Try download it again...I've update the file and added the new lightwarp...Sorry for the issue
Thank you, but it sadly didn't changed anything... :/ I tried it on Gmod10 too, and nope, purple mane too, so that's kinda creepy, hope you find what's doing that, because I don't see what would. Ah well, at worse, I wont use it, even if its sad not to use this.
sorry...I've uplaoded the new lightwarp for flim flam...I haven't update yet smarty pant...Check again please...i've added the missing lightwarps
Sorry for being late, I was away for a while. And well, I just checked, and no, still the same for me, even on a different computer... so I really dunno what could do that...so I really dunno what would do that, I'll try to empty my gmod folder and check, perhaps...
There's some sort of lightwarp problem with SmartyPants btw. His mane is purple and dark purple instead of gray when in SFM. Anything I could do to fix this?
i will test it on sfm and prepare a patch
it wasn,t long....
Inb4 someone will combine this with the Lyra plushie.
I don't know if I'm ever going to use it, but I'm downloading right now!
Nice, kudos to both of you!
Wow cool! Did you used shaders on the eyes? Or is it just my model?
Anyway, good work!
Anyway, good work!

PASIR GUDANG: Lee Meng Yean-Lim Yin Loo are fourth-ranked women's doubles for Malaysia. No one expected them to go too far in the Malaysia Open GP, but they've demonstrated their fighting spirit yesterday by defeating third seeds Shinta Mulia Sari-Yao Lei (world No. 20) of Singapore 21-17, 22-20 to reach the semi-finals of the Malaysia Open Grand Prix Gold at the Pasir Gudang Municipal Stadium.
This performance could further strengthen their bid for a place in the Uber Cup Finals squad. They will play against they will take on Ou Dongni-Xiong Mengjing of China in the semi-finals.
SINGAPORE: Singapore has qualified for the Uber Cup for only the second time in the tournament history.
Singapore last qualified for the badminton tournament in 2006.
The event also serves as the World Team Championships for women.
In football, it is not uncommon for coaches to be fired within months, sometimes weeks, of failure.
But in badminton? Not often heard of.
Yet it is the very course of action taken by the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA), on the back of what president Lee Yi Shyan acknowledged as a year of "faring poorly" at tournaments like the Li-Ning Singapore Open and the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
The association has parted ways with singles coach Luan Ching and doubles trainer Yoo Yong Sung, both of whose contracts were due to run till the end of the year.
SBA officials confirmed that China native Luan ended his four-year tenure by consensual agreement while Yoo of South Korea resigned from a post he had held for only a year.

Kim Kardashian's Got a $20K Wedding Kake
We like her taste in food, at least.
It's Friday, so Grub Street feels a little less guilty writing about Kim Kardashian and her wedding cake, even though it's quite possibly the least important thing in the world. Anyway, there are two things to know: First, that the cake is costing her
TV network family (whoever) $20,000. And second, that it's from the downright delicious Hansen's, where all the celebs get their empty calories. The wedding, in all its Vera Wang camera-friendliness, is this weekend in Montecito, with the festivities kicking off last night at L.A.'s Scarpetta. We can't speak to her husband choice (as we don't know his name), but on the food front ... you go, sister. [Page Six/NYP]

Introducing: ShanghaiTime nixie clock
Soooo.. After six weeks of intensive development, I am posting first photo of finished ShanghaiTime clock. As I already wrote, I designed this clock for a glass-art contest "When Prague Meets Shanghai" arranged by a czech company producing high-end glass chandeliers called Preciosa. I plan to write more, attach some photos of the innards, electronics etc., this blogpost is just about to share my excitement from how great it turned out to be on a photo!

How do you do it? You are a wizard! Kidding aside, Dalibor, you are great, this is amazing work.
Hi Jens!
Thanks for the compliment!
I am definitely not a wizard, it is just about a plenty of time spent on the project, hard work and stubbornness!
It is both inspiring and humbling to see your amazing work. Bravo.
Wow, paráda, gratuluji! Čekal jsem, že to bude vypadat dobře… nicméně výsledek předčil mé očekávání!!!
Díky! Musím ještě trošku zesvětlit tu fotku.. Ať to je lépe vidět
Awesome work!
Please, can you make a photo with numbers "42″ ? It will answer many questions =) . Thanks.
Unikatni digitrony, ultimatni design, nekompromisni realizace… Tohle je estetickej orgasmus na monitoru. Fantazie. Blahopreju.
Az v budouci pracovne vymaluju, polozim podlahu a sestavim nabytek, tak si taky zacnu hrat. Az na to, ze ja budu muset pouzit stary digitrony co mam nekde v krabici.
Jsem rád, že se líbí! nejsou původní digitrony ještě hezčí?
Great work and inspiring me to get back in the shop.
Still trying to track down some of the guys from the glass factory for accurate details.
Thanks for the updates and for inspiration.
Those are really cool! From reading about all the trials and errors making these things, it is an amazing result!
Have you ever thought about using other gasses to get different colours?
How did you go in the competition? I bet the glass people didn't even realise how impressive it is to make a nixie – having to get glass/metal bonds, gas mixtures, pressures…. It's a lot more than blowing a simple chandelier!
And you realise of course you are probably the only person on the planet that is now making these things!
Keep up the inspiring work,
Owen (Australia)
Hello Owen,
thank You for nice words! It was actually difficult way, however I eventually managed to make my own nixie tubes.
About other colours – it is very difficult, there is no other gas with so bright glow, neon is unique. Argon is another possibility, but it is very dim and You wont see it on daylight.
The competition ends in two weeks, I am pretty nervous
You are right – I feel like outsider among those glass artist, it is so different from their way of work.. There is now another person close to making his own nixie tubes, I hope he will reveal his work soon!

Blog traffic is not only about good and unique content. Ahmed presents the other answer (via J. Angelo Racoma) to the question of increasing traffic. Content is still the king, but you also need the army to be visible – SEO and emails so that the search engines and other bloggers come to know about you.
Make Merit Visible
I think this is an universal concept of the struggle to make merit visible. Every activity has to have an associated marketing effort, if you want to make it known. Others are not going to care what you do with your time unless you tell them about it. A very business-minded approach? No, I think it is a requirement to highlight the merit for a couple of reasons.
- The merit will be given importance if it provides some value to others.
- This value might not be apparent, explicit effort might be required to make it so.
Developing value with the merit and making it visible are two separate activities. In fact, they are even two different skill sets, which is why communication is so important in business, along with the economics.
Of course, there have been cases where these techniques were not important. Either the value was already in the bold or it impacted a lot of people right at the start. But these are rare instances, and cannot be expected to repeat every time.
More Important for Individuals
I have realized that they are also important if you are an independent professional or a freelancer. Rather, it can be more significant because of the lack of support of the marketing department or the heavy corporate backdrop. There seems to be a recent awareness about this because of which we are seeing a lot of more people active on the Web.
Web is the best showcase, available to everyone, always. I always recommend, even if you do not want to put up the showcase or write a blog, you should provide your contact information at the least.
Back to Blogging
Regarding blogging, I think one of the best ways is using links to others to create conversations and discussions. They result into trackbacks and pingbacks, which stay visible with the discussion. Other techniques also work like associating with a brand, or if the blogger is a brand him/herself.
You will also find many custom tips which might be easier to adopt. If you are an introverted blogger, Micah Sparacio's A Guide for the Introverted Blogger might help.
Having said this, these techniques are good only for the initial push. The value will still be dependent on the merit, the content, the product or the talent.
In blogging, traffic might not be important to everyone. I make sure SEO works, but I hardly out of blogging to promote the blog. I write primarily to debate with self, and then with others. If traffic is not important, content is enough.

Broadcast Licences
Broadcasting is a major user of the radio frequency spectrum in Ireland with a contribution of circa €293m to the Irish economy (ComReg Document 11/89 on "Strategy for Managing the Radio Spectrum, 2011 to 2013"). Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), the public service broadcaster established under the Broadcasting Authority Act 1960 as amended, provides national radio and television services. The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI), established under the Broadcasting Act, 2009, is responsible for the authorisation of Irish broadcasting services other than those provided by RTÉ.
ComReg is responsible for the coordination, assignment and licensing of the associated radio frequencies to RTÉ and the BAI under the Broadcasting Act 2009.
If you are an independent body and wish to broadcast radio services you should contact the BAI.
Broadcast Licences issued to RTÉ
ComReg issued four broadcast licences to RTÉ for the provision of public service broadcasting in the State. The licences enable RTÉ to carry out its functions as set out in the Broadcasting Act 2009. A very brief overview of the licences and copies of the licence documentation are provided below.

RTÉ Digital Sound Broadcasting multiplex Licence : Licence
This licence grants RTÉ authorisation to establish, maintain and operate a digital sound broadcasting multiplex using particular radio frequencies set out in the licence. The technical conditions referenced in Schedule I of the licence are set out in ComReg document 08/100a.
RTÉ Licences for Digital Terrestrial Television Multiplexes: Multiplex 1, Multiplex 2
RTÉ hold two licences for digital terrestrial television multiplexes. These licences grant RTÉ authorisation to establish, maintain and operate two digital terrestrial television multiplexes using particular radio frequencies set out in the licence. These multiplexes are used by RTÉ to provide its "SAORVIEW" service. The technical conditions attached to these licences as referenced in Part I of the licence are set out in ComReg document 07/90b.

This was the most significant game of the new season for the Baltimore Orioles who defeated the Detroit Tigers 3-1 at Comerica Park on a sunny, brisk afternoon. Desperately needing a win to avoid dropping to 1-5 on the season, and getting swept by the Tigers in Detroit, Chris Tillman provided the birds with a solid, dependable outing that broke a three-game losing streak and restored confidence in both the pitching and the offense. Not that this was a high-scoring game for the Orioles, but they came through with some key hits late in the game that gave Tillman a bit of breathing room and gave him a shot at earning a complete game. With one down in the bottom of the 9th, Showalter pulled Tillman who looked visibly upset at not being able to finish the game. Tillman probably had a right to feel slighted. At 113 pitches, he certainly could have faced at least one more batter. Moreover, Tillman was not fatigued and his pitches still had some pop. Nonetheless, Showalter pulled the Orioles top hurler and brought in Tommy Hunter who recorded the final two outs of the game.
Other than Tillman's stellar performance, the other standout performance of the day goes to the Orioles defense that remains one of the best in baseball. In the bottom of the eighth inning with the Orioles up 2-1, Andrew Romine hit what appeared to be a bloop single into short left field. Orioles shortstop Ryan Flaherty raced out to catch the ball just as left fielder David Lough came sliding in to Flaherty's right and snagged the ball. On the very next play, Ian Kinsler hit a fast-sinking fly ball to right field that was caught by a diving Nick Markakis who raised his glove to show the umpires that he made a clean catch. Earlier in the game, Steve Lombardozzi fielded an Austin Jackson grounder that skipped under Chris Tillman's glove. Lombardozzi then threw to first-baseman Chris Davis who had to stretch out his legs into a near-split in order to catch the ball and record the out.
Offensively, the Orioles struggled at the plate against Justin Verlander who delivered a solid performance for the Tigers but simply could not keep pace with Chris Tillman. Verlander held the Orioles scoreless through five frames until Adam Jones belted a double to deep center that sailed over the head of Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson. Later, Nelson Cruz hit a soaring double that landed in the gap in right-center fielder, plating Jones and tying the score. In the eighth inning, with the score still tied at one apiece, Nick Markakis triped and scored on an Adam Jones sacrifice fly. Catcher Matt Wieters provided an important insurance run with an opposite-field home run in the top of the ninth inning to make the score 3-1 in favor of the Orioles.
And now the Orioles head to New York to face the Yankees in their home-opener, the third home-opener of the year for the Orioles. The projected match-ups for the series includes Ubaldo Jimenez vs. Hiroki Kuroda in game one, Wei-Yin Chen vs. Ivan Nova in game two, and Miguel Gonzalez vs. Masahiro Tanaka in the final game. After the series in New York, the birds return to Oriole Park for a six-game home stand against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Letter on army chief my personal opinion: Amarinder
Chandigarh: Former Punjab chief minister and state Congress president Amarinder Singh Tuesday said that the letter he wrote to Defense Minister Arackaparambil Kurian Antony on the birth date of Indian Army chief General Vijay Kumar Singh was his personal "opinion" and in his "personal capacity".
In a clarification issued here after it was reported that Amarinder Singh had favored correcting the birth records of the army chief, Amarinder said he had written the letter about a month ago putting forth his "opinion on the issue" only in his "personal capacity".
Amarinder Singh, a former Indian Army captain who belongs to the erstwhile Patiala royal family, is leading the Congress in the Jan 30 Punjab assembly election.
Antony has rejected the army chief's statutory complaint seeking to change his date of birth from May 10, 1950, to May 10, 1951. He first sought the change in 2006 but the defense ministry has steadfastly refused to budge.
Antony told parliament, in reply to questions last September that "the date of birth of General Singh has been maintained as May 10, 1950, at the time of his selection as corps commander in 2006 as well his subsequent promotions as army commander in 2008 and the chief of army staff in 2010".
The army chief had filed a petition May 25, 2011 before the defense ministry asking it to treat May 10, 1951, as his date of birth. The ministry rejected this July 21, 2011.
General Singh filed the statutory complaint in response to this.
If the ministry had granted Gen. Singh's request, he would have served for another 10 months and he would have retired in April 2013.
That would have also resulted in Lieutenant General Bikram Singh, who is the present Kolkata-based Eastern Army Commander, being denied the chance to become the next chief in May 2012 and his junior Lieutenant General K.T. Parnaik, presently the Udhampur-based Northern Army Commander, would have become the next chief in April 2013.
Meanwhile, General Singh met his principal staff officers, particularly the record keepers in the army headquarters here, according to sources.
Though no official information on what transpired in the meetings held Friday and again Monday, sources said the defense ministry's communication Friday that the attorney general's opinion which was against acceding to his request did come up for discussion.
The meeting with his principal staff officers, held twice within a matter of four days, was attended among others by the adjutant general, who is responsible for record keeping and pay and in the army headquarters.
The records with the adjutant general branch, including General Singh's school leaving certificate, indicated that he was born May 10, 1951. However, records with the military secretary, responsible for postings and promotions, showed it as May 10, 1950.
Another drastic move that the army chief could take was to resign ahead of his tenure coming to an end May 31, 2012, which would put the succession line in the 1.13-million-strong army out of gear, sources said.
On Friday, after General Singh was communicated the government's decision on his date of birth, he met Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who was the defense minister when the controversy broke out.
1 Comment
It seems to be more than a coincidence that Amarinder Singh, a Sikh, is in favour of Gen V K Singh retiring as per his current date, which will ensure that Lt. Gen. Bikram Singh, also a Sikh, becomes the next chief. Nepotism in the Indian Army has been on the rise for many years now, but it seems that the caste and religion based nexus is now achieving alarming proportions. And as is common knowledge in most Army circles, the Sikh network is probably the most powerful one.
It's also sad to note that all and sundry are being permitted to post their "personal views" on a matter that should be strictly between the Defence Ministry, the Army and the judiciary.

Law Blog Fireside: The Personal Injury Lawyer in the Mountain Dew Mouse Case
Maybe you've heard this one: A man opens a can of Mountain Dew, finds a dead mouse inside, sues PepsiCo (maker of Mountain Dew). PepsiCo's lawyers enlist an expert to rebut the claims.
The expert, in an affidavit, says there's no way the mouse was in the soda can before the date of production. Why? Duh. The acidity of the Mountain Dew recipe would have melted the mouse, reduced it to jelly.
This is a true story, of course — or so says Ronald Ball, who is suing PepsiCo in Madison County, Ill., for more than $50,000. He claims he cracked open a Mountain Dew from a vending machine at work, threw it back and got sick. When he poured the soda into a cup, out slid a small mouse, he alleges. Several witnesses saw him open the soda and get sick after drinking from it, Ball said in court documents.
The affidavit was filed about a year ago, but it caught fire on Internet in the past couple weeks, after it was referenced in local report about an upcoming hearing in the case. A call to Pepsi's lawyers was not immediately returned on Monday.
But we caught up with Ball's lawyer, Samantha Unsell, a 2008 graduate of St. Louis University School of law.
Law Blog: This thing really took off, huh?
Unsell: Yeah. I think it was actually on Saturday Night Live this past weekend.
LB: What? Amazing. Have you been getting a lot of calls about it?
Unsell: I've had people call and say, 'I once bought a Pepsi and this was what was in it.' I think I've had five or six of those phone calls. One person said they found a mouse in their Wild Cherry Pepsi and someone else found a worm in their regular Pepsi. Then a person in Colorado found some sort of slimy, gooey substance in theirs.
LB: I suppose you disagree with affidavit's conclusions that the mouse couldn't have been in the can when your client opened it — because the Mountain Dew would have turned it into goo.
Unsell: My thought was, 'Well, that's kind of novel argument, but it doesn't say a whole lot about their product.' I thought it was kind of humorous that the company's only legal defense is to destroy the image of their own product.
LB: But why don't you believe it?
Unsell: I've taken their expert's deposition. He has been hired by Pepsi in 75 to 100 cases where people said they found rodents, geckos or critters 0f some sort in their drinks. He's never once determined [the animal] was there since the date of production. And he bases his opinions on studies that were done at Pepsi's direction. There is no scientific evidence to support his claim that the mouse would have dissolved.
[Pepsi said in court documents that its tests show that the mouse Ball alleges was in his can wasn't even born when the can was filled and sealed, and that the mouse could not have been in the can for more than seven days without dissolving.]
LB: What makes you think you're client isn't lying?
Unsell: There were several unbiased witnesses who watched him open the soda, take a drink, and immediately get sick. My client didn't immediately contact an attorney. He contacted the company. He didn't want anyone else to get sick — that was his first call. They took the mouse and tested it. When [Pepsi's risk-management unit] called back, they essentially said he was a liar. My client became indignant and said, 'Send the mouse back. I'm hiring an attorney.'
LB: Are you going to make this a regular thing, maybe take on any of those critter cases you got calls about?
Unsell: I have a friend who jokes that I'm the new mouse lawyer. I said I don't think so.

Here's a diorama I made for a competiton earlier, with some customized steampunk miniatures & scratchbuilt terrain.
In my earlier post ( Steampunk diorama ), I promised to introduce these steampunk terrain items to you, so here we go.
Most frequent question I get asked on gaming sites is about how I have created fire and smoke. Now I'm releasing a tutoral about this topic - while it's actually about creating starship wrecks, it will teach you how to model fire. Another page (coming soon) will show you applications of this technique.
Professors Keane and Scanlan from Southampton University have printed out an airplane that flies; This is far more advanced than printing out miniatures. So, when shall we have 3D-files having miniatures we can print out? That requires affordable 3d printers.

It's not easy to rehydrate skin after dehydrating travel: think long haul travel, the delicious but salty meats at hotel breakfast buffets, expensive mineral waters and no other waters, etc. Skin can look like the whole life was sapped out of it. Well, drink your water fastidiously and wear a plumping serum! That's why I was happy to be hosted to experience Rejuve MD Face Treatment!
I don't have deep lines -- not yet! -- but my skin can definitely look "not plump". With Rejuve MD Face Treatment, I have a fresher look. The packaging is a covered pump bottle, keeping the product scrupulously fresh. It's clear with a bit of a syrupy consistency. The product is matte and invisible when it dries. As they suggest, definitely let it dry for several minutes before applying cosmetics, especially powder cosmetics.
I'm glad that it's mild enough for post-procedure skin; that means it would work for everyone. It was created by Board Certified Dermatologist, researcher and educator, Alex Khadavi, MD., FAAD, an Associate Professor of Dermatology at the University of Southern California.
This is what they say about it:
The Anti-Aging Face Treatment with Rejuve MD complex of bio-identical growth factors activates the skin's natural rejuvenation process by sending messages that awaken the collagen and elastin, while curbing the enzymes that destroy the skin's supportive matrix. With continued use you'll see astonishing improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles plus dramatically smoother and firmer skin. Safe for sensitive and post-procedure skin, the Rejuve MD system is designed to fit into your existing cleansing and sun protection routine.
I also was hosted to experience their eye serum, but had an allergic reaction to it and had to discontinue its use.

College Hockey:Norwich and Plymouth State Accepted To Women's ECAC East
Will Join For 2007-08 Season
CAPE COD, Mass. — Norwich and Plymouth State have been accepted by the administrators of ECAC East Women's Hockey as new members.
Norwich University, located in Northfield, Vt., and Plymouth State University, of Plymouth, N.H., have recently upgraded their women's hockey programs to varsity status, and will begin conference play at the start of the 2007-08 season.
"On behalf of all the members of the ECAC Women's East Hockey League, we are excited to welcome Norwich and Plymouth State into our hockey family," said Interim Commissioner Steven Bamford. "It is always refreshing to see new hockey programs join the conference, coupled with the opportunity for their student athletes to experience the thrill and excitement of league competition. Knowing the athletic reputation of both institutions, it's only a question of time before each will be a serious contender for the league championship, and we wish them well."
The Panthers, who will host the majority of their home games at the Waterville Valley Ice Arena, announced the hiring of Heather Hoffay in May as the school's first varsity women's ice hockey coach. The Cadets, meanwhile, are currently involved in the search process for their head coach, and will play their home contests at Kreitzberg Arena.

BERKELEY, Calif. – Washington scored twice in the seventh and once in both the eighth and ninth innings to break open a 2-2 tie and win 6-2 over host California Friday evening at Evans Diamond in Berkeley, Calif.
The win ensures the Huskies will take their first series at California since 2004 and gives them their sixth Pac-12 series victory in six tries. Washington, ranked sixth in College Baseball News and seventh by Baseball America, improves to 14-3 in Pac-12 play and now holds a two-game advantage in the Conference over idle Oregon State.
The Huskies (27-7-1), who improved to 11-1 on the road this season, will go for their first series sweep at Cal (15-19, 4-10) since 2002 on Saturday.
There were many heroes for the Huskies on Friday night, but Erik Forgione drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh and tacked on an insurance run with his legs in the ninth.
The Huskies scored twice with two outs in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and grab the lead for good. Ryan Wiggins led off the inning with a double and pinch-runner Matt Jackson advanced to third on an Austin Rei sacrifice bunt. After pinch-hitter Brendan Berry struck out, Forgione delivered a run-scoring single. Forgione stole second ahead of a RBI double by Braden Bishop to make it 4-2.
UW increased its lead to 5-2 in the eighth on a bases-loaded walk to Rei before closing it out in the ninth with a final insurance run. Forgione led off with a walk, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt and stole third. He scored on a shallow sacrifice fly by Jack Meggs to put the game away, 6-2.
Forgione ended the night 2-for-3 with a double, RBI, two runs and two stolen bases.
Emerging staff ace Tyler Davis (8-1) handed the game over to the bullpen after laboring through six innings. He allowed a season-high nine hits, but for the eighth time in nine starts he gave up two runs or less.
Davis' is now tied for the Pac-12 lead with eight wins.
Trevor Dunlap went the final three innings, allowing one hit, to earn a well-deserved sixth save of the season.
Washington jumped ahead of Cal in the fourth with two runs. Andrew Ely walked to lead off the inning and Robert Pehl and Trevor Mitsui singled to load the bases with nobody out. With the Pac-12's leading hitter Brian Wolfe up to bat, starting pitcher Kyle Porter (4-4) uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Ely to score.
Porter settled down to strike out Wolfe and Wiggins, but then gave up a two-out RBI single up the middle to Rei that scored Pehl and made it 2-0.
Cal responded in the bottom of the inning to get one run back and tied it up in the fifth with another run. Vince Bruno drove in a run off Davis with a RBI single in the fourth and the Bears took advantage of three consecutive hits with two outs in the fifth to tie the score at 2-2.
The Bears ended up outhitting the Huskies, 10-9.
Besides Forgione, Mitsui was the only other Huskies' batter with two hits.
The Huskies send Jeff Brigham (4-1, 2.12) to the hill against Cal righy Ryan Mason (2-0, 2.62) in the series finale tomorrow. First pitch is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

Ones To Watch: Spurs
by Ashley Houghton
Bale star act for Villas-Boas' men.
Voted the best player in British football right now, Gareth Bale is the main man behind Tottenham Hotspur's push for a place in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Bale, 23, has set the Barclays Premier League alight with a host of man-of-the match performances which have seen him win widespread recognition.
The Welsh international was voted PFA Players' Player of the Year, PFA Young Player of the Year and Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year as well as being voted into the PFA Team of the Year in 2012-13.
Bale, who has been capped 41 times by Wales, has scored 54 goals in 202 games for Spurs - however, it's during this campaign he has been most prolific – scoring 25 goals in 43 games.
Cardiff-born Bale started his career with Southampton, where he progressed through the youth ranks, and made 45 appearances, scoring five goals before Spurs signed him in 2007.
Jan Vertonghen
Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen joined Spurs at the start of the 2012-13 season after being linked to a host of Barclays Premier League clubs.
The 26-year-old joined the North London club from Ajax where he had progressed through the youth ranks after a move to Amsterdam from Germinal Beerschot as a 16-year-old.
Having progressed through the famed academy at Ajax, Vertonghen went on to play 220 times under the likes of Marco van Basten, Martin Jol and Frank de Boer – winning the Dutch Eredivisie in 2010-11 and 2011-12.
Since making his international debut in 2007, Vertonghen has been capped by Belgium on 47 occasions – scoring four times.
In his first season at White Hart Lane he has made 48 appearances and scored six goals whilst also being named in the PFA Team of the Year for a string of fine performances, including an exceptional display as Andre Villas-Boas' side won 3-2 at Old Trafford back in September.
Emmanuel Adebayor
Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been one of the more prominent players in the modern Barclays Premier League era after starring for a host of top-flight clubs.
The 29-year-old came to British football from Monaco after progressing through the youth ranks with FC Metz.
Arsenal was the striker's first club; he scored 62 goals in 142 appearances at the Emirates Stadium in a three-year spell with the Gunners.
In July 2009, the 6'3" frontman joined Manchester City for a fee believed to be in the region of £25m.
And despite scoring on his City debut, he was limited to just 45 appearances before being loaned out to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Adebayor spent the second half of the 2010-11 season in La Liga and scored eight goals in 22 appearances before returning to Manchester.
The following campaign Spurs took Adebayor on a season-long loan deal and he didn't disappoint, scoring 18 goals in 31 matches.
That form prompted Spurs to make the deal permanent this campaign and he notched his 160th club career goal in last weekend's 2-1 victory over Stoke City.
