ITB report: key learnings and successes for Cape Town
19 March 2009
The world's top travel show, ITB Berlin 2009, has come to an end and the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) is sticking to its end-January 2009 forecast that international tourist arrivals could drop by up to 2% this year.
A sense of realistic optimism prevails, however. "This is not a tourism crisis. It's an economic crisis which spills over into tourism," said Taleb Rifai, secretary-general ad interim. Tourism is linked to many economic sectors.
Europe's tourism industry will likely see the largest drop in visitors, but small countries dependent on foreign spending might suffer most, Rifai said. He also said that Europeans and Americans were likely to keep to their plans to travel abroad. "In the past 20 years, travel has become more of a right," he said. "The right to move around and the right to relax."
The UNWTO hosted the second meeting of its Tourism Resilience Committee at ITB, aiming to send a message to world leaders that they should put travel and tourism at the centre of their stimulus packages.
"We believe that if tourism is supported by governments and handled correctly, it can help to stimulate economic recovery," Rifai said. "When they think of tourism, we want governments to think of incentives, not taxes," he added.

In my opinion some of the key points of learning for Cape Town are:
• Those destinations and organisations that can adapt through innovation and effective public-private partnerships will come out stronger to lead the way to a new era in tourism.
• We should investigate new models, rethink traditional spending and place more emphasis on strategic partnerships and networks.
• We should continue investing in marketing, but in an extraordinary way, and allow for no wastage.
• We should think global, but act local.
• We should identify our window of opportunity and activate it effectively and creatively.
• Government must give tourism the space to play as a serious economic stimulus. It is not about bail-outs, but rather about creating an enabling environment.
• As a destination, we must develop a price strategy and manage it. We must focus on creating more value and retain high standards. It is impossible to recover from a "cheap" image.
• We must collaborate and invest in joint marketing efforts.
As a member of the UNWTO International Destination Council, I was asked to present Cape Town's position and resilience strategy in relation to the economic and climate challenges to an audience of global tourism and travel leaders at ITB.
I used the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the Green Economy (with emphasis on the 2010 Green Goal and Cape Town's Responsible Tourism Plan) as well as Cape Town's remarkable value-for-money offering to illustrate the window of opportunity amid tough global times. The new tactics identified within Cape Town Tourism's marketing strategy are in line with the UNWTO Roadmap for Recovery and "new marketing innovation".
The Council commended Cape Town Tourism's bold use of e-marketing and technology, innovative and best practice visitor services and the empowerment of citizens and the tourism industry as brand evangelists for Cape Town in the run up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The fact that Cape Town was selected from hundreds of other destinations as a best practice example of visitor services and marketing innovation in the current global tourism environment is a huge vote of confidence from the international sector.
The rest of the Cape Town Tourism team engaged with hundreds of delegates, members of the media and consumers at the Cape Town stand.
Two key ways of generating brand awareness for Cape Town as a 2010 FIFA World Cup host city were a web-based competition using the official 2010 mascot, Zakumi, and collaboration with one of Germany's largest PR companies, Hansman PR Travel Talk.
Trade, media and the general public were encouraged to have their pictures taken with Zakumi and then advised to go to www.capetown.travel/itb to find their picture, add a creative comment about Cape Town and stand the chance of winning two tickets to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, including accommodation and transport.
More than 200 images were uploaded to the ITB gallery and, for the duration of the ITB web campaign, Germany jumped from tenth to fourth place in the number of unique visits to www.capetown.travel, after South Africa, the USA and UK. The average length of stay on the site for users from Germany over this time was 09:17 minutes, up from the global average 03:48 minutes. Also, German visitors visited 5.67 pages on average, compared to the site average of 3.11 pages. Overall, individual pages containing ITB-related content, have already been viewed about 2000 times.
All competition entrants have been added to Cape Town Tourism's visitor database for future e-marketing campaigns.
Cape Town Tourism partnered with Hansman PR, a well-established German tourism and sports PR agency, to engage with specific media. Nicole Moody, PR and Communications Manager, attended the special two-hour "Travel Talk" event and met more than 15 members of the media individually. The focus of discussions was the 2010 FIFA World Cup and Cape Town's readiness as a host city. Other topics included wellness tourism, golf and spa tourism and cultural tourism.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup mascot, Zakumi, was very popular at ITB Berlin 2009
Some direct results of "Travel Talk" are:
• An agreement for a series of radio slots on a leading German radio station, Multicult20, for the rest of 2009, focused on Cape Town and its offerings
• A presentation on Cape Town using Cape Town Tourism's marketing toolkit by Dr Michael R Kaiser from News Corporation Germany, to 350 members of the German Press Club
• A two-page feature on Cape Town in the Sud-Afrika magazine before June 9 at no cost
• A press trip for German journalists writing for two of Germany's major newspapers
• A feature on Cape Town as a premier golf and spa destination in the widely distributed German 1 Golf bi-annual publication at no charge.
These are some of Cape Town's many successes at ITB:
• Cape Town Tourism engaged with and secured a database of more than120 combined trade and media contacts. We also engaged with more than 100 consumers on visiting Cape Town.
• Online campaign secured with Expedia to the value of R1 000 000, focused on driving the UK market to Cape Town during our off-peak period.
• Educational campaign secured with FTI, Germany's third-largest tour operator, for all their agents.
• Two campaigns secured with Myriad Marketing Solutions focused on the US trade and in particular the gay traveller market to the value of R500 000.
• Joint marketing agreement concluded with Tripadvisor to the value of R500 000.
• Joint marketing agreement concluded with Google.
• Agreement reached with Triplib, a German social networking site focused on travel, to run competitions based on user-generated content, to the value of R500 000.
• Joint marketing agreement reached with BBC World News to market Cape Town online.
• Agreement reached with SAA Frankfurt to cover the cost of flights for German media and trade trips to Cape Town.
• Cape Town Tourism to assist Peter den Hartogh with the official documentary on 2010 FIFA World Cup to be screened worldwide during 2010 – arranging all aspects of filming, including preferred locations.
• Agreement reached with Petit Fute, leading French guide book series, to develop a French guide book specifically for Cape Town.
The team reflected that:
• Trade, media and public interest for Cape Town remains very high.
• Mainstream packages are less popular than requests for tailor-made itineraries with both the public and the trade.
• Authentic experiences are important.
• Luxury experiences are in demand.
• Personal safety and health considerations come first.
• German travellers have a renewed interest in travel to the US (since the election of Barack Obama) and we will be vying for their loyalty – German travel to the US increased by 19.4% and decreased to SA by 6% in the period January-November 2008.
• The well-travelled 60+ generation is less likely to be affected by the economic crisis, thanks to their conservative investments, and should be actively pursued.

According to Vogue, Glamour, InStyle, The Huffington Post and the runways from spring, tea-length skirts are making a comeback.
A tea-length skirt should stop at mid-calf (between knee-length and maxi). Vogue makes a point of saying the skirts should be mid-calf to upper ankle.
This can be hard to wear. One trick to help it is wear with long, lean pieces on top. A tea-length skirt can look a little 1950's if it has the cinched waist.
If you are shorter, the problem may be in the proportion - there may be too much fabric in the skirt - if you take the skirt in on the sides, it may work better for you so there isn't so much volume. For any height, don't have too much volume in the skirt because it's going to make you look like a triangle.
If you are tall, the issue will be finding a tea-length skirt that's long enough. If you have a maxi dress or skirt from last year that you weren't crazy about, try taking it up. If you hate to sew, iron it up using Stitch Witchery. Pin the hem, iron the living heck out of it, make sure it is correct, then put the Stitch Witchery in between the new hem you've ironed. Then iron again according to the directions for the fabric. You may have to cut some of the excess hem off before you iron up the hem with the Stitch Witchery or else it will pull down. Use pinking sheers so it doesn't fall apart.
A subtle wide belt around the waist works well or just layering over a thinner skirt. The point is not to have too much bulk. The whole macro view is what you are going after so don't over accessorize.

About Me:
Im an visual artist from the south side of Chicago. Artist such as Jean Michel Basquiat, Romare Bearden, Salvador Dali, and even Lupe have inspired me most to take my artistry to new heights. Similar to Lu, I try and use vivid colors to tell stories and evoke emotional responses in my paintings. My work comes from my life experiences. People call my paintings fresh, forward, and mindful. Great portions of my works are introspective collages. They speak to the intersection of history, music, religion, and politics. I created a great portion of my portfolio listening to "Food & Liquor", "The Cool", and "Graduation". Hip Hop's always played a major role as an influence on my artistry. All my contemporaries wanted to be rappers while I was trying to blend graffiti, folk, graphic, and multimedia aspects into my pieces. Art for change is my mantra.

In order to account for all of the various in-game decisions that were posed to fans within the first two Dragon Age titles, Bioware plans to release the Dragon Age Keep which will allow fans to answer how they would have dealt with all the variations of choices to help shape a unique experience in the series' upcoming third installment based upon the answers. It also looks like fans will be given access to the Keep early after Dragon Age: Inquisition Creative Director Mike Laidlaw revealed on Feb 6 that the developer plans to give gamers access to the Dragon Age Keep long before next game launches in order to give players the opportunity to think about the choices.
After being asked by a fan about how long before the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition will the Keep be launched, Laidlaw replied on Twitter that the plan is to have the Dragon Age Keep available more than a month in advance.
At least a month, likely longer.
In past titles, Bioware has tried to simply pull save data in order to import player decisions from previous games. However, Laidlaw stated that using save files isn't as reliable a system as simply using the Keep. Additionally, using a save file requires that players continue playing the franchise on the same platform that they started it on. Since Dragon Age: Inquisition is bringing the series to the Xbox One and PS4 for the first time, this would make it impossible for players to upgrade to a next-gen version while still being able to import a save file. The Dragon Age Keep, on the other hand, will allow fans to make all of the story-altering choices without the need for old save files.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is set to releases later this year on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

If you're a fan of the popular day time cooking show "Every Day with Rachael Ray," then you likely have seen celebrity cooking host Rachael Ray bring cooking enthusiasts into her show via Skype video call. From one kitchen to another, video calling allows her guests from all over the world to join her in-studio in New York City. Seeing Rachael cook with fans around the globe got us thinking, how many people are using Skype video calling to cook together?
Sure enough, we've already seen and heard of several cooking schools who utilize video calling to reach remote students who are eager to learn the skills in the kitchen, but cannot physically make it. Fantastic Thai, a New York state cooking school, uses Skype to teach the Thai-food loving how to cook their favorite dishes from the convenience of their own home. To start the lesson off on the right foot, Fantastic Thai sends all the spices and sauces to the students prior to their first lesson. Easily enough, with video call, the students and the chef can see the way they prepare the food and can critique the techniques. Who knew learning how to cook Thai food was as easy as setting up one's laptop and webcam on their kitchen counter?
With the holiday season around the corner, we are eager to see if cooking via Skype becomes an even bigger trend! Even more, with Skype Group Video Calling, up to ten people can get on from their respective kitchens for one fun group cook-a-thon.
Share with us how you've used Skype video call to cook with a friend, family member, student or instructor.

About 600 employees of the Laikipia government have threatened to go on strike this week if they are not paid their salary arrears.
The arrears amounting to Sh131 million are owed to workers of the four now defunct local authorities, who were seconded to the county government. Last week, the officials met with the affected workers in Nyahururu and resolved to take industrial action against the county government.
The defunct local authorities include Nanyuki and Nyahururu municipal councils, Laikipia county council and Rumuruti town council.
Workers from the defunct Nyahururu municipal council are demanding the highest amount of Sh50 million.
Kenya County Government Workers Union officials yesterday said the arrears are for the years 1993, 2010 and 2012.
They said negotiations with the county government for the last one-and-a-half years have not been not fruitful.
"The governor (Joshua Irungu) pledged that the money would be paid by July last year but that is yet to happen. They are giving us false promises," said the union's Mt Kenya region executive member Charles Muhanji. He said many workers have either died or retired without their arrears being paid.

City EDS v CSKA Moscow preview
- 04 November 2013 13:00
- Posted by @roline_mcfc
City EDS can all but guarantee a place in the UEFA Youth League knock-out stages with a win against CSKA Moscow tomorrow afternoon - and once again you can watch the game for FREE.
The young Sky Blues have been in impressive form so far, scoring 11 goals – six of those coming against Bayern Munich – and conceding just two.
As things stand, Patrick Vieira's men are level on points with CSKA Moscow so a City victory at Ewen Fields tomorrow would open up a three-point gap at the top with just two games remaining.
The Russian outfit proved a tough nut to crack in the reverse fixture last month. The Sky Blues opened the scoring through Devante Cole in the closing stages, but the hosts hit back through Ruslan Gordienko to secure a point.
With so much at stake, tomorrow's top-of-the-table clash mustn't be missed and there will be more than just football on offer. There will also be free give-aways, Moonchester and Moonbeam will be there and you could have the chance to win either: a pair of VIP tickets or a pair of match tickets to the first-team game later that night.
Both competitions will require you to take part in a penalty shoot-out at half-time. To win the VIP tickets, you'll have to score past Tom Deacon from the Copa90 show 'Eurofan'. Please note: you must be over 18 to enter the VIP competition.
Kick-off at Ewen Fields, Hyde is at 3pm and entry is free for everyone. Tune into City Today later this evening for Vieira's pre-match thoughts and team news.
Tickets are still available for the first-team's vital fixture, priced from £33 for Adults and £17.50 for Under 16s.
Purchase online here, or call 0161 444 1894 option 1, option 1, option 2 (tickets purchased over the telephone are subject to a £2.50 booking fee per ticket), or visit the Ticket Office located on the first floor of the Etihad Stadium City Store. For more details please click here.

Actors seem to have a nomad public life. Since there's no more Studio System, they are left with their own public persona to keep them alive and busy. When they are in their Prime, they get calls from their agents with 5 to 10 projects and they can choose which one they want to be involved with, but when they're not, they either take what comes, whatever it is, or simply find something else to do.
Bruce Dern's extraordinary performance in Alexander Payne's 'Nebraska' is not the first job he's had in ages, as some may think. In fact, he hasn't stopped working, mostly in supporting roles; some of them very generic and not too showy in films like Joe Dante's 'The Hole', Coppola's 'Twixt', Patty Jenkin's 'Monster',and even Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'.
To younger generations, he's been just a face in the crowd, and some may even know him because is the father of actress Laura Dern. But the Best Actor prize in the 2013 Cannes Film Festival reminded Hollywood of this excellent and forgotten actor who's been in the business for quite some time. His first uncredited work was in 1960 and had to learn to adjust to different techniques of production during the very changing 70's, as he worked for Hitchcock and Roger Corman and also shared the screen with legendary Bette Davis in 'Hush, Hush…Sweet Charlotte'.
Back in the 70's it was the peak of his acting career, displaying works for Walter hill in 'The Driver', Sidney Pollack in 'They Shoot Horses, Don't they?', Hal Ashby in 'Coming Home' and Bob Rafelson in 'The King of Marvin Gardens', before he started to fly low for three decades.
Suddenly, 2013/14 has become his resurgence. 'Nebraska' is the best performance of his career, and his agent is calling him again with some interesting characters in future films.
Sometimes, an excellent actor gets swallowed in the non-stop celebrity machine, and if they're lucky, they'll run into a film that will put them back where they belong. Bruce Dern, an actor, more than a celebrity, is back for good.
Here's a list of his most distinguished performances in a 50-year plus career.
(2013) Directed by Alexander Payne
Woody is an aging booze-addicted everyday man who suddenly gets the stubborn urge to walk to Nebraska and get a million dollars he won in one of those mail mega sweepstake-marketing scams. There's no use in trying to convince him otherwise, he will go on no matter how many times you bring him back home to his dirty-mouthed wife and a stale life. A role like this requires an actor who can vanish into the common details of life, an actor who is not a star (Jack Nicholson, Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall and Robert Forster were considered for the role), and so Bruce Dern ended up becoming this quiet, strong-willed and immensely human Woody.

Coming Home
(1978) Directed by Hal Ashby
This was Bruce Dern other Oscar nomination, as Captain Bob Hyde, Jane Fonda's husband who was lost in the Vietnam war and returned home to a terrible dual realization: that his wife is having an affair with another Vietnam veteran, and that his traumatic experience has alienated him to a breaking point.
Family Plot
(1976) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
For Hitchcock's last film, Dern plays a simple minded man that, with the help of his manipulative girlfriend, plan to steal money from old rich women. Because of the light nature of this suspense-comedy, Hitchcock did not want a typical "Hero" but an everyday man who deals with a complicated story, and Dern fit the bill perfectly.
The Driver
(1978) Directed by Walter Hill
Dern plays a self-assured detective going after Ryan O'Neal, a "Driver" who specializes in robbery getaways, and is tricked by a very clever Isabelle Adjani ("The Player"). This was a very physical performance that required numerous stunts for the car chase sequences, which had become a sub-genre in the 70's thanks to Steve McQueen, for whom the film had originally been written.
The King of Marvin Gardens
(1972) Directed by Bob Rafelson
Dern plays Jason Staebler, an extroverted con man who drags his brother David (Jack Nicholson) and his bitter aging beauty queen girl friend Sally (Ellen Burstyn) to Atlantic City for yet another scam that will eventually spiral to tragedy.
Silent Running
(1972) Directed by Douglas Trumbull
Back when science fiction reflected current social concerns, Trumbull created this dystopian story about botanist Freeman Lowell taking care of the last botanical garden kept in a spacecraft. When word comes in that the ship is to be destroyed and the crew will return to Earth, Freeman rebels siding with plants instead of humans. This is one of the loneliest performances by Dern.
They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
(1969) Directed by Sidney Pollack
Even if this is not one of his most relevant characters, the film itself seems to blend all the characters into the delusions of humanity as they engage in dancing marathons for the entertainment of an unknown mass of American in the midst of financial (and spiritual) crisis. Dern is one of the marathon dancers, leaving all hints of human traits behind as he runs desperately to win the contest.
Black Sunday
(1977) Directed by John Frankenheimer
The 70's also brought the terrorist neurosis around the world and Hollywood was ready to cash in this mass frenzy with action films. One of the most alienating was this Frankenheimer's film, filled with international stars, about terrorist organization Black September's plan to attack American soil. In the core, there is the story of Michael Lander (Dern) whose traumatic life as a freed and tortured prisoner in Vietnam and a failed marriage takes him to a Kamikaze mission, completely alienated by Dahlia Lyad (Marthe Keller), an operative of the Black September group.
The Great Gatsby
(1974) Directed by Jack Clayton
As millionaire Tom Buchanan, whose wife Daisy is the object of Jay Gatsby's desires, Bruce Dern continued specializing in unlikable characters, being Robert Redford's nemesis. For his role in this sumptuous Bob Evans production, Dern was nominated for a Golden Globe as best supporting actor.
(1970) Directed by Roger Corman
A typical B-film from the Roger Corman factory, this was a violent film about the infamous Ma Baker and her equally deranged sons, as they spread crime during the depression era. Dern plays Fred Baker's cell mate/lover who comes home to be part of the clan, sleeping with Ma and stir things up more.

Rochester, Minn.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
As part of the long-term goal of successfully implementing tissue regeneration strategies in an individualized manner for patients with thoracic diseases including, but not limited to: cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension, the investigators will assess the feasibility of collecting skin biopsies from patients undergoing surgery for thoracic disease, culturing skin fibroblasts from the biopsy, and reprogramming these skin fibroblasts into induced pluripotent cells.

During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
The study evaluates the efficacy of fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) to reduce the annual rate of moderate and severe exacerbations compared with dual therapy of FF/VI or UMEC/VI in subjects with COPD. Published studies which assessed the use of an 'open' triple therapy (use of Inhaled Corticosteroid [ICS]/ Long-acting Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists [LAMA])/ Long Acting Beta-Agonist [LABA] delivered via multiple inhalers) in moderate-severe COPD patients, reported improvements in lung function, Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), hospitalization rates and rescue medication use, compared to dual therapy (ICS/LABA) or LAMA alone. These studies have also shown similar safety profile with dual or monotherapy doses for periods of up to one year. Given the clinical experience with FF, UMEC and VI, and that the associated risks with these compounds are anticipated from their known pharmacology, the potential benefit of a new therapy option in patients with moderate to severe COPD supports the further development of the closed triple combination (delivered via one inhaler). In the current study subjects meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria will complete 2-week run-in period; 52 week treatment period and a 1-week safety follow-up period. Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of the following double-blind treatment groups FF/UMEC/VI 100 micrograms (mcg)/62.5 mcg/25 mcg once daily (QD), FF/VI 100 mcg/25 mcg QD, or UMEC/VI 62.5 mcg/25 mcg QD
Open for enrollment
The investigators' proposed study is a randomized controlled trial that will prospectively examine the effect of a multicomponent intervention on the rate of hospitalizations, daily physical activity, self efficacy and health status in patients who have COPD and have been hospitalized because of a COPD exacerbation.
In the study, a convenience sample of patients recently hospitalized for a COPD exacerbation, who meet the selection criteria and agree to participate will be randomized to receive one of the following at the time of hospital discharge: (1) the current standard of care plus a multicomponent intervention (counselor + pulmonary rehabilitation) or (2) the current standard of care without the intervention.
This study plans to test the following hypotheses: (1) The primary outcome of the study to be the composite endpoint of death or COPD hospitalization (2) Time to first rehospitalization will be shorter in the intervention group than the control group (3) At follow-up, the physical activity level measured in terms of the average number of steps and active energy expenditure will be higher in the intervention group than in the control group.
Minnesota HealthSolutions Corporation (MHS) proposes to develop and evaluate a program to motivate and monitor people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to complete home exercise as part of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). The proposed system has two components: home-based activity monitoring and health coaching. The investigators will conduct a randomized, wait-list controlled clinical study to evaluate the effects of the activity monitoring system and health coaching on quality of life and daily steps.
This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group trial evaluating mepolizumab 100 mg against placebo given every 4 weeks through subcutaneous (SC) injection.
In severe COPD patients, sputum eosinophils levels are elevated similar as those seen in severe asthmatics. It is hypothesized that the reduction of eosinophils with mepolizumab in COPD patients would translate into a reduction of COPD exacerbations. The study will determine the reduction in exacerbations in subjects who are above and below the baseline blood eosinophil count of at least 150 cells/microlitres. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab on the frequency of moderate and severe exacerbations in COPD subjects at high risk of exacerbations, despite the use of optimized standard of care background therapy.
Overall in this study, a total of 800 subjects will be randomised in 1:1 ratio to receive placebo or mepolizumab (100 milligram (mg)) administered SC. The total duration of this study will be approximately 62 weeks, consisting of a 1 to 2 week screening period, 52-week treatment period and 8-week follow-up period.
Jacksonville, Fla.
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled study designed to evaluate improvement of lung function after treatment with the Spiration Valve System as compared to medical management in the control group. The control group will be evaluated in the same manner as the treatment group.
The Spiration Valve is a small, umbrella-shaped, one-way valve that is placed inside the airways of one lung. It is used to redirect air from the less healthy to the more healthy parts of the lung. This helps to reduce over-inflation and may improve overall lung function and quality of life for people living with emphysema.

After quite a few Minx manicures, I told celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival that I was ready to get back to nail art. She suggested glitter for the holiday season. We're calling this look "Winter Solstice."
The bottom layer is Star Burst by Gelish. Tracylee added turquoise, blue and purple glitter, as well as a few nail jewels. She liked the effect so much that she went home and gave herself the same manicure.
We picked the turquoise glitter to match the Minx on my toes. (Don't know what Minx is? Click here to read all about it.) If you have a foot aversion, look away now!
I met Tracylee due to a non-New Year's resolution. For the past few years, before the end of the year, I think of something I'd like to handle better in the future. Instead of waiting for New Year's to put my plan into action, I do it immediately. Basically, I wind up with November resolutions. In November 2010, I decided to get my nail situation under control because I'm always modeling rings for my jewelry line and poorly groomed nails were distracting from my work. (This was driven home to me by my outspoken friend Barbaralee, who admired a new ring design and then said, "Now you need a manicure." And, yes, I require all my friends to have "lee" as part of their names.) I started seeing Tracylee that month, and I've been seeing her ever since. Her great technique and nail art helped me stick to the plan. In addition to making me look more respectable, Tracylee has been doing some very big things. Recently, Dior hired her for a gig at Art Basel, and she wound up in the Wall Street Journal! You can follow Tracylee's adventures on Twitter via @LuxebyTracyLee.

Winter solstice! lol. Love it.
I've just been prowling & pawing around your hilarious blog…your jewellery is amazing, so much to covet!
Love it! I want a "Northern Lights" manicure. The turquoise is great too.
That is nice!~ Here in the south, we add Jean to everyone's name!
Northern lights on your nails! Love it.
I love it! I've been a little scared to mess with my nail glitter but I may give it a shot this weekend! Looks soooo good!
Oooh, like outer space on your nails!
Very cool looking mani and pedi and happy news of Tracylee's star in the ascendant.
Tracylee does beautiful work. I love the manicure! The toes are cute, too.
Perfect holiday manicure. I think it's great that you implement your resolutions immediately. People tend to drop resolutions with arbitrary guidelines. Go, Wendy!
That mani is gorgeous! I want one!
Love the idea of November resolutions and the vibrant 'Solstice' colors!
They look amazing! x
one of my favorite mani's so far
I Love, love, love your manicure. It makes me want to do interesting things with my nails. The turquoise is wonderful, too! Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day.
So pretty! I love the sparkles.
I very much like the "non-New Year's resolution" concept! It can be applied every day. I tell myself that I am looking for little pearls in daily life. Lining them up. Yesterday that was a nice moment with the hubs sipping coffee and chatting at a cosy café, after a walk out in the feisty Quebec winter.
It looks great! I was thinking of getting myself a manicure with snowmen and snow flakes for the holidays.

After more than 2 months without posting weekly links I will try to make up for the loss by summarizing the best things I found on the Internet during that time, all in one post. So here they are, in chronological order:
- Dmitry Itskov, Russian Billionaire, Plans Immortality Research Center: I don't know how I feel about this.
- Hurricane Balls: Two ball bearings welded together spinning wildly. A very fun toy.
- Researchers take full control of cockroach's movement, turn it into a wireless sensor: the real cyborgs.
- Physicist Derives Laws of Thermodynamics For Life Itself: Interesting stuff. The original paper is short and accessible, so it's on my list of future reads.
- Lectures on Emergence and Complexity: I'm not setting any time aside to watch these, but maybe some of you will.
- The Best Way to Find Aliens: Look for Their Solar Power Plants: I agree with this argument and I'm glad someone is finally taking Dyson Spheres seriously.
- Obama's Secret Weapon In The South: Small, Dead, But Still Kickin': A story about plancton and politics. A fascinating read.
- Game of Life with floating point operations: beautiful Smoothlife: Beautiful and clever!
- Massive drug control spending has no effect on addiction rate: This is probably the only graph you need to support the argument in favor of ending the war on drugs.

In Wes Craven's New Nightmare Heather Langenkamp is asked about her role in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. She says, "with the exception of 1 and 3 I pretty was out of it."
Technically this is true but as the review of Freddy's Revenge shows, her diary was key in aiding Jesse and Lisa in fighting and surviving Freddy.
Nancy is a key factor in Dream Warriors. She is a star grad student hired on to intern at a mental hospital working with kids who are suffering from pattern nightmares. There is an underlying potential love interest between Nancy and the doctor after it is revealed that Nancy can help.
The main star is Kiersten played by Patricia Arquette in her first major film role. Freddy has picked her as his guide into the human world. He slices her up and when she wakes up; her mom believes Kiersten was slicing her wrists up into a suicide attempt.
Kiersten is checked into a hospital with several other kids and when the main doctor wants her sedated she fights. She grabs a scalpel and tries to fight them off, chanting the Freddy nursery rhyme. Nancy comes in when Kiersten stutters on 9, 10. She answers her, "Never sleep again." She is able to take the scalpel and hug her. The doctor wonders what the rhyme about. Nancy's response, "It's what the kids say to keep the boogie man away."
The kids in the hospital are the last of the Elm Street Kids which explains why Freddy set Kiersten up to look like a suicide. Nancy is pulled into Kiersten's dream after realizing Kiersten had made her old house out of paper Mache. She is able to save Kiersten and Freddy is furious when he recognizes her.
One of the boys loves puppets and Freddy drags him out and cuts the veins so that he would fall out the window. One of the girls is allowed to stay up late to watch TV. but Freddy slams her head into the TV and electrocutes her.
Nancy is then able to convince the doctor to do group hypnosis by using Kiersten's ability to pull the others into her dream to fight Freddy. Unfortunately, Joey the sleepwalker is lured off by Freddy disguised as the nurse he has a crush on. He is left in a coma.
They are visited by a nun by the name of Sister Mary Helena who reveals Freddy's history to them as his mother was raped by hundreds of maniacs. She reveals that they have to destroy Freddy's bones to get rid of him.
Nancy and Dr. Neil try to convince her dad to reveal where Freddy's bones are revealed. They are fired for their part in group therapy that left Joey in a coma and caused one of the girls to in the belief of the hospital director to commit suicide.
Taryn, the wannabe actress pages Dr. Neil for help when Kiersten was sent to the quiet room and is afraid she was sedated. Nancy shows up to does a group therapy session to rescue Joey, the sleepwalking boy but Freddy causes them to be separated. They are picked off one by one for the most part.
Nancy's father Donald is killed when he and Dr. Neil start laying Freddy's bones to rest. Nancy thinks that Donald visits her to tell her about his crossing over but its really Freddy in disguise. Kiersten is able to defeat Freddy as Dr. Neil is able to throw holy water and a cross on his bones. Kiersten ends up holding a dying Nancy in her arms.
Sister Mary Helena appears at Nancy's funeral and Dr. Neil follows to find that Sister Mary Helena is revealing that she was Amanda Krueger, Freddy's mother.
As the movie closes Dr. Neil is sleeping with a Malaysian Dream Doll and on a shelf is the house that Kiersten had built. A light comes on revealing that Freddy is setting up for another installment. Of course Kincaid is in the next movie and since he has escaped Freddy this time around, Freddy has a score to settle.

A Will is a legal document that clearly sets out your wishes for the distribution of your assets after your death. Having a clear, legally valid and up-to-date Will is the best way to help ensure that your assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes. Studies show that on average 45% of Australians do not have a current Will. Should you die without a Will your estate may be divided according to a Government formula – a formula that may not reflect your wishes and which may cause undue hardship, cost and delay for your family.
Your Will is probably the most important document you will ever sign, so it's advisable that you have it prepared by an expert who is supported by accountants, taxation, investment and legal professionals such as those we have on staff at NSW Trustee & Guardian.
Making your Will with NSW Trustee & Guardian as your executor is free of charge, as are any subsequent updates you make as your circumstances change. Fees for estate administration are only incurred when the estate is administered.
To make your Will with NSW Trustee & Guardian call us on 1300 364 103 or use our Online Will Form.

Newsweek's annual "50 Most Influential Rabbis in America" list is just out and Debra Nussbaum Cohen at the Forward's "The Sisterhood" blog's takes it to task:
You may notice that there are just 5 women deemed important enough to have made the cut — that's only 10 percent. And yet, it's an improvement over last year, when there were just three women out of the 50 rabbis chosen.
And her summary of the five women included:
Rabbi Schoenfeld, who takes the helm of the RA in July, noted that three of the five women who made the list — Rabbis Sharon Brous (ranked #31), spiritual leader of the L.A. congregation Ikar, Naomi Levy (#35), who writes about spirituality and liturgy, and Jill Jacobs (#48), with the Jewish Funds for Justice, are Conservative rabbis.
The other two women are Rabbi Ellen Weinberg Dreyfus (#18), incoming head of the Reform movement's Central Conference of American Rabbis and Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum (#25), a Reconstructionist rabbi who leads the gay and lesbian synagogue Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, in Manhattan's Greenwich Village.

BEREA – Browns coach Eric Mangini acknowledged Friday that he could be fired after the season, despite a firm belief the team's made significant progress.
"Sometimes it happens," he said.
President Mike Holmgren, who has a different coaching background and philosophies than Mangini, began running the franchise at the end of last season and retained Mangini. Mangini said Holmgren hasn't given him a victory total he needs to keep his job for 2011.
"We haven't talked like that at all," Mangini said. "I don't expect to have those conversations. That's not how we're going to operate as a staff or as a group."
The Browns are 5-8 in Mangini's second season. They were 5-11 in 2009.
The popular notion is that Mangini needs at least two wins in the last three games – against AFC North rivals Cincinnati, Baltimore and Pittsburgh – to return. But Mangini didn't want to put too much emphasis on the three-game stretch.
"What's going to carry weight is the whole season, the progress the team has made, how we've performed in all three phases," he said. "I imagine it's not a short snapshot, but a comprehensive look."
Mangini has been consistent in his belief the team continues to improve. He admits the Browns haven't been able to win consistently, but thinks that's the next step they'll take.
Has there been enough progress to satisfy Holmgren?
"I haven't done that kinda math," Mangini said. "I feel good about the things we've done, the direction of the team.
"There are steps you go through in any growth process. We've taken a lot of those steps."


text: Hello. I thought I might give some contribution to the Windows NT vs. WinFrame debate (to forewarn you all, I don't like Windows NT that much: I found it a brilliantly architectured, but often awfully engineered O/S) First, let's denounce the myth "Windows NT is not multiuser". Windows NT is inherently multiuser, much like UNIX or (more appropriately) VMS. Anyone who happened to use U/Win under NT can testify this. The FAT file system is not multiuser, but NTFS is. The internal objects have an UID, and the security mechanism is, at least on paper, very good (to get an example of how badly folks at Micro$oft implemented most of the security related things, just have a close peek at http://www.systeminternals.com, read their articles and follow some of the links). The actual problems lie in the Win32 subsystem. After all, if you know for sure just one istance of it may be running at the same time, many things get far simpler - that's (I would argue) what they did. It may be the not-so-forthcoming NT 5.0 will improve this situation once for all, since it will support multiple monitors (and, henceforth, multiple desktop instances should be much easier to deal with) and PnP facilites also means you can (with the help of a device driver?) attach and detach consoles "on the fly". I cannot speak for NT Terminal Server, and I have seen WinFrame only for a couple of minutes, but a friend of mine who developed banking software on it and played with it a lot told me its "inner levels" were pretty different from the usual NT retail version (he also found it a more robust platform, BTW). As of NT 4.0, some things might probably be done, but I am not sure it would be worth the effort with the newer version on the horizon - while VNC is a magnificient piece of software (I am using it a lot day-by-day, so I know what I mean), I think PNG-like compression or authentication (what about putting the VNC engine itself in a DLL or shared library, BTW?) would probably be far more useful in perspective, and so would be new ports. Best regards to you all (and thanks to the ORL folks for their product) Federico Bianchi f.bianchi "at" arte.unipi.it --------------------------------------------------------------------- The VNC mailing list - see http://www.orl.co.uk/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll
Sabbath Superstition.
The idea that one day in the week is better than the others and should be set apart for religious purposes; that it should be considered holy; that no useful work should be done on that day; that it should be given over to pious idleness and sad ceremonies connected with the worship of a supposed Being, seems to have been originated by the Jews.
According to the Old Testament, the Sabbath was marvelously sacred for two reasons; the first being, that Jehovah created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh: and the second, because the Jews had been delivered from the Egyptians.
The first of these reasons we now know to be false; and the second has nothing, so far as we are concerned, to do with the question.
There is no reason for our keeping the seventh day because the Hebrews were delivered from the Egyptians.
The Sabbath was a Jewish institution, and, according to the Bible, only the Jews were commanded to keep that day. Jehovah said nothing to the Egyptians on that subject; nothing to the Philistines, nothing to the Gentiles.
The Jews kept that day with infinite strictness, and with them this space of time known as the Sabbath became so holy that he who violated it by working was put to death. Sabbath-breaking and murder were equal crimes. On the Sabbath the pious Jew would not build a fire in his house. He ate cold victuals and thanked God. The gates of the city were closed. No business was done, and the traveler who arrived at the city on that day remained outside until evening. If he happened to fall, he remained where he fell until the sun had gone done.
The early Christians did not hold the seventh day in such veneration. As a matter of fact, they ceased to regard it as holy, and changed the sacred day from the seventh to the first. This change was really made by Constantine, because the first day of the week was the Sunday of the Pagans; and this day had been given to pleasure and recreation and to religious ceremonies for many centuries.
After Constantine designated the first day to be kept and observed by Christians, our Sunday became the sacred time.
The early Christians, however, kept the day much as it had been kept by the Pagans. They attended church in the morning, and in the afternoon enjoyed themselves as best they could.
The Catholic Church fell in with the prevailing customs, and to accommodate itself to Pagan ways and superstitions, it agreed, as far as it could, with the ideas of the Pagan.
Up to the time of the Reformation, Sunday had been divided between the discharge of religious duties and recreation.
Luther did not believe in the sacredness of the Sabbath. After church he enjoyed himself by playing games, and wanted others to do the same.
Even John Calvin, whose view had been blurred by the "Five Points," allowed the people to enjoy themselves on Sunday afternoon.
The reformers on the continent never had the Jewish idea of the sacredness of the Sabbath.
In Geneva, Germany and France, all kinds of innocent amusement were allowed on that day; and I believe the same was true of Holland.
But in Scotland the Jewish idea was adopted to the fullest extent. There Sabbath-breaking was one of the blackest and one of the most terrible crimes. Nothing was considered quite as sacred as the Sabbath.
The Scotch went so far as to take the ground that it was wrong to save people who were drowning on Sunday, the drowning being a punishment inflicted by God. Upon the question of keeping the Sabbath most of the Scottish people became insane.
The same notions about the holy day were adopted by the Dissenters in England, and it became the principal tenet in their creed.
The Puritans and Pilgrims were substantially crazy about the sacredness of Sunday. With them the first day of the week was set apart for preaching, praying, attending church, reading the Bible and studying the catechism. Walking, riding, playing on musical instruments, boating, swimming and courting, were all crimes.
No one had the right to be happy on that blessed day. It was a time of gloom, sacred, solemn and religiously stupid.
They did their best to strip their religion of every redeeming feature. They hated art and music -- everything calculated to produce joy. They despised everything except the Bible, the church, God, Sunday and the creed.
The influence of these people has been felt in every part of our country. The Sabbath superstition became almost universal. No laughter, no smiles on that day; no games, no recreation, no riding, no walking through the perfumed fields or by the winding streams or the shore of the sea. No communion with the subtitle beauties of nature; no wandering in the woods with wife and children, no reading of poetry and fiction; nothing but solemnity and gloom, listening to sermons, thinking about sin, death, graves, coffins, shrouds, epitaphs and ceremonies and the marvelous truths of sectarian religion, and the weaknesses of those who were natural enough and sensible enough to enjoy themselves on the Sabbath day.
So universal became the Sabbath superstition that the Legislatures of all the States, or nearly all, passed laws to prevent work and enjoyment on that day, and declared all contracts void relating to business entered into on Sunday.
The Germans gave us the first valuable lesson on this subject. They came to this country in great numbers; they did not keep the American Sabbath. They listened to music and they drank beer on that holy day. They took their wives and children with them and enjoyed themselves; yet they were good, kind, industrious people. They paid their debts and their credit was the best.
Our people saw that men could be good and women virtuous without "keeping" the Sabbath.
This did us great good, and changed the opinions of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
But the churches insisted on the old way. Gradually our people began to appreciate the fact that one-seventh of the time was being stolen by superstition. They began to ask for the opening of libraries, for music in the parks and to be allowed to visit museums and public places on the Sabbath.
In several States these demands were granted, and the privileges have never been abused, The people were orderly, polite to officials and to each other.
In 1876, when the Centennial was held at Philadelphia, the Sabbatarians had control. Philadelphia was a Sunday city, and so the gates of the Centennial were closed on that day.
This was in Philadelphia where the Sabbath superstition had been so virulent that chains had been put across the streets to prevent stages and carriages from passing at that holy time.
At that time millions of Americans felt that a great wrong was done by closing the Centennial to the laboring people; but the managers -- most of them being politicians -- took care of themselves and kept the gates closed.
In 1876 the Sabbatarians triumphed, and when it was determined to hold a world's fair at Chicago they made up their minds that no one should look upon the world's wonders on the Sabbath day.
To accomplish this pious and foolish purpose committees were appointed all over the country; money was raised to make a campaign; persons were employed to go about and arouse the enthusiasm of religious people; petitions by the thousand were sent to Congress and to the officers of the World's Fair, signed by thousands of people who never saw them; resolutions were passed in favor of Sunday closing by conventions, presbyters, councils and associations. Lobbyists were employed to influence members of Congress. Great bodies of Christians threatened to boycott the fair and yet the World's Fair is open on Sunday.
What is the meaning of this? Let me tell you. It means that in this country the Scotch New England Sabbath has ceased to be; it means that it is dead. The last great effort for its salvation has been put forth, and has failed. It belonged to the creed of Jonathan Edwards and the belief of the witch burners, and in this age it is out of place.
There was a time when the minister and priest were regarded as the foundation of wisdom; when information came from the altar, from the pulpit; and when the sheep were the property of the shepherd.
That day in intelligent communities has passed. We no longer go to the minister or the church for information. The orthodox minister is losing his power, and the Sabbath is now regarded as a day of rest, of recreation and of pleasure.
The church must keep up with the people. The minister must take another step. The multitude care but little about controversies in churches, but they do care about the practical questions that directly affect their daily lives.
Must we waste one day in seven; must we make ourselves unhappy or melancholy one-seventh of the time?
These are important questions and for many years the church in our country has answered them both in the affirmative, and a vast number of people not Christians have also said "yes" because they wanted votes, or because they feared to incite the hatred of the church.
Now in this year of 1893 a World's Fair answered this question in the negative, and a large majority of the citizens of the Republic say that the officers of the Fair have done right.
This marks an epoch in the history of the Sabbath. It is to be sacred in a religious sense in this country no longer. Henceforth in the United States the Sabbath is for the use of man.
Many of those who labored for the closing of the Fair on Sunday took the ground that if the gates were opened, God would visit this nation with famine, flood and fire.
It hardly seems possible that God will destroy thousands of women and children who had nothing to do with the opening of the Fair; still, if he is the same God described in the Christian Bible, he may destroy our babes as he did those of the Egyptians. It is a little hard to tell in advance what a God of that kind will do.
It was believed for many centuries that God punished the Sabbath-breaking individual and the Sabbath-breaking nation. Of course facts never had anything to do with this belief, and the prophecies of the pulpit were never fulfilled. People who were drowned on Sunday, according to the church, lost their lives by the will of God. Those drowned on other days were the victims of storm or accident. The nations that kept the Sabbath were no more prosperous than those that broke the sacred day. Certainly France is as prosperous as Scotland.
Let us hope, however, that these zealous gentlemen who have predicted calamities were mistaken; let us be glad that hundreds of thousands of workingmen and women will be delighted and refined by looking at the statues, the paintings, the machinery, and the countless articles of use and beauty gathered together at the great Fair, and let us be glad that on the one day that they can spare from toil, the gates will be open to them.

Essay on Christmas.
My family and I regard Christmas as a holiday -- that is to say, a day of rest and pleasure -- a day to get acquainted with each other, a day to recall old memories, and for the cultivation of social amenities. The festival now called Christmas is far older than Christianity. It was known and celebrated for thousands of years before the establishment of what is known as our religion. It is a relic of sun-worship. It is the day on which the sun triumphs over the hosts of darkness, and thousands of years before the New Testament was written, thousands of years before the republic of Rome existed, before one stone of Athens was laid, before the Pharaohs ruled in Egypt, before the religion of Brahma, before Sanskrit was spoken, men and women crawled out of their caves, pushed the matted hair from their eyes, and greeted the triumph of the sun over the powers of the night.
There are many relics of this worship -- among which is the shaving of the priest's head, leaving the spot shaven surrounded by hair, in imitation of the rays of the sun. There is still another relic -- the ministers of our day close their eyes in prayer. When men worshiped the sun -- when they looked at that luminary and implored its assistance -- they shut their eyes as a matter of necessity. Afterward the priests looking at their idols glittering with gems, shut their eyes in flattery, pretending that they could not bear the effulgence of the presence; and to-day, thousands of years after the old ideas have passed away, the modern parson, without knowing the origin of the custom, closes his eyes when he prays.
There are many other relics and souvenirs of the dead worship of the sun, and this festival was adopted by Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and by Christians. As a matter of fact, Christianity furnished new steam for an old engine, infused a new spirit into an old religion, and, as a matter of course, the old festival remained.
For all of our festivals you will find corresponding pagan festivals. For instance, take the eucharist, the communion, where persons partake of the body and blood of the Deity. This is an exceedingly old custom. Among the ancients they ate cakes made of corn, in honor of Ceres and they called these cakes the flesh of the goddess, and they drank wine in honor of Bacchus, and called this the blood of their god. And so I could go on giving the pagan origin of every Christian ceremony and custom. The probability is that the worship of the sun was once substantially universal, and consequently the festival of Christ was equally wide spread.
As other religions have been produced, the old customs have been adopted and continued, so that the result is, this festival of Christmas is almost world-wide. It is popular because it is a holiday. Overworked people are glad of days that bring rest and recreation and allow them to meet their families and their friends. They are glad of days when they give and receive gifts -- evidences of friendship, of remembrance and love. It is popular because it is really human, and because it is interwoven with our customs, habits, literature, and thought.
For my part I am willing to have two or three a year -- the more holidays the better. Many people have an idea that I am opposed to Sunday. I am perfectly willing to have two a week. All I insist on is that these days shall be for the benefit of the people, and that they shall be kept not in a way to make folks miserable or sad or hungry, but in a way to make people happy, and to add a little to the joy of life. Of course, I am in favor of everybody keeping holidays to suit himself, provided he does not interfere with others, and I am perfectly willing that everybody should go to church on that day, provided he is willing that I should go somewhere else. -- The Tribune, New York, December, 1889.

A Tribute to Ebon C. Ingersoll.
Washington D.C., May 31, 1879.
Dear friends: I am going to do that which the dead oft promised he would do for me.
The loved and loving brother, husband, father, friend, died where manhood's morning almost touches noon, and while the shadows still were falling toward the west.
He had not passed on life's highway the stone that marks the highest point; but being weary for a moment, he lay down by the wayside, and using his burden for a pillow, fell into that dreamless sleep that kisses down his eyelids still. While yet in love with life and raptured with the world, he passed to silence and pathetic dust.
Yet, after all, it may be best, just in the happiest, sunniest hour of all the voyage, while eager winds are kissing every sail, to dash against the unseen rock, and in an instant hear the billows roar above a sunken ship. For whether in mid-sea or 'mong the breakers of the farther shore, a wreck at last must mark the end of each and all. And every life, no matter if its every hour is rich with love and every moment jeweled with a joy, will, at its close, become a tragedy as sad and deep and dark as can be woven of the warp and woof of mystery and death.
This brave and tender man in every storm of life was oak and rock; but in the sunshine he was vine and flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls. He climbed the heights, and left all superstitions far below, while on his forehead fell the golden dawning of a grander day.
He loved the beautiful, and was with color, form, and music touched to tears. He sided with the weak, the poor, and wronged, and lovingly gave alms. With loyal heart and with the purest hands he faithfully discharged all public trusts.
He was a worshiper of liberty, a friend of the oppressed. A thousand times I have heard him quote these words: "For Justice all place a temple, and all season, summer." He believed that happiness is the only good, reason the only torch, justice the only worship, humanity the only religion, and love the only priest. He added to the sum of human joy; and were every one to whom he did some loving service to bring a blossom to his grave, he would sleep tonight beneath a wilderness of flowers.
Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word; but in the night of death hope sees a star and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
He who sleeps here, when dying, mistaking the approach of death for the return of health, whispered with his latest breath, "I am better now." Let us believe, in spite of doubts and dogmas, of fears and tears, that these dear words are true of all the countless dead.
The record of a generous life runs like a vine around the memory of our dead, and every sweet, unselfish act is now a perfumed flower.
And now, to you, who have been chosen, from among the many men he loved, to do the last sad office for the dead, we give his sacred dust.
Speech cannot contain our love. There was, there is, no gentler, stronger, manlier man.

A Tribute to Reverend Alexander Clark
Washington D.C., July 13, 1879.
Upon the grave of the Reverend Alexander Clark I wish to place one flower. Utterly destitute of cold, dogmatic pride, that often passes for the love of God; without the arrogance of the "elect"; simple, free, and kind -- this earnest man made me his friend by being mine. I forgot that he was a Christian, and he seemed to forget that I was not, while each remembered that the other was at least a man.
Frank, candid, and sincere, he practiced what he preached, and looked with the holy eyes of charity upon the failings and mistakes of men. He believed in the power of kindness, and spanned with divine sympathy the hideous gulf that separates the fallen from the pure.
Giving freely to others the rights that he claimed for himself, it never occurred to him that his God hated a brave and honest unbeliever. He remembered that even an Infidel had rights that love respects; that hatred has no saving power, and that in order to be a Christian it is not necessary to become less that a human being. He knew that no one can be maligned into kindness; that epithets cannot convince; that curses are not arguments, and that the finger of scorn never points toward heaven. With the generosity of an honest man, he accorded to all the fullest liberty of thought, knowing, as he did, that in the realm of mind a chain is but a curse.
For this man I felt the greatest possible regard. In spite of the taunts and jeers of his brethren, he publicly proclaimed that he would treat Infidels with fairness and respect; that he would endeavor to convince them by argument and win them with love. He insisted that the God he worshiped loved the wellbeing even of an Atheist. In this grand position he stood almost alone. Tender, just, and loving where others were harsh, vindictive, and cruel, he challenged the admiration of every honest man. A few more such clergymen might drive calumny from the lips of faith and render the pulpit worthy of esteem.
The heartiness and kindness with which this generous man treated me can never be excelled. He admitted that I had not lost, and could not lose, a single right by the expression of my honest thought. Neither did he believe that a servant could win the respect of a generous master by persecuting and maligning those whom the master would willingly forgive.
While this good man was living, his brethren blamed him for having treated me with fairness. But, I trust, now that he has left the shore touched by the mysterious sea that never yet has borne, on any wave, the image of a homeward sail, this crime will be forgiven him by those who still remain to preach the love of God.
His sympathies were not confined within the prison of a creed, but ran out and over the walls like vines, hiding the cruel rocks and rusted bars with leak and flower. He could not echo with his heart the fiendish sentence of eternal fire. In spite of book and creed, he read "between the lines" the words of tenderness and love, with promises for all the world. Above, beyond, the dogmas of his church -- humane even to the verge of heresy -- causing some to doubt his love of God because he failed to hate his unbelieving fellow-men, he labored for the welfare of mankind, and to his work gave up his life with all his heart.

At A Child's Grave
Washington D.C., January 8, 1882.
I know how vain it is to gild a grief with words, and yet I wish to take from every grave its fear. Here in this world, where life and death are equal kings, all should be brave enough to meet what all the dead have met. The future has been filled with fear, stained and polluted by the heartless past. From the wondrous tree of life the buds and blossoms fall with ripened fruit, and in the common bed of earth, patriarchs and babes sleep side by side.
Why should we fear that which will come to all that is? We cannot tell, we do not know, which is the greater blessing -- life or death. We cannot say that death is not a good. We do not know whether the grave is the end of this life, or the door of another, or whether the night here is not somewhere else a dawn. Neither can we tell which is the more fortunate -- the child dying in its mother's arms, before its lips have learned to form a word, or he who journeys all the length of life's uneven road, painfully taking the last slow steps with staff and crutch.
Every cradle asks us "Whence?" and every coffin "Whither?" The poor barbarian, weeping above his dead, can answer these questions just as well as the robed priest of the most authentic creed. The tearful ignorance of the one, is as consoling as the learned and unmeaning words of the other. No man, standing where the horizon of a life has touched a grave, has any right to prophesy a future filled with pain and tears.
May be death gives all there is of worth to life. If those we press and strain within our arms could never die, perhaps that love would wither from the earth. May be this common fate treads out from the paths between our hearts the weeds of selfishness and hate. And I had rather live and love where death is king, than have eternal life where love is not. Another life is nought, unless we know and love again the ones who love us here.
They who stand with breaking hearts around this little grave, need have no fear. The larger and the nobler faith in all that is, and is to be, tells us that death, even at its worst, is only perfect rest. We know that through the common wants of life -- the needs and duties of each hour -- their grief will lessen day by day, until at last this grave will be to them a place of rest and peace -- almost of joy. There is for them this consolation: The dead do not suffer. If they live again, their lives will surely be as good as ours. We have no fear. We are all children of the same mother, and the same fate awaits us all. We, too, have our religion, and it is this: Help for the living -- Hope for the dead.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR): The U.S. Commercial Service in Germany is proactively engaged in defending American companies against counterfeit and copyright infringement. IPR is an important part of corporate value and international competitiveness. U.S. trademark, design and patent rights do not of themselves provide protection in Germany or the rest of the European Union (EU); U.S. companies must protect their IPR here in Europe. It is possible to register in countries individually or, for EU-wide trademark and design protection, there are a Community Trademark (CTM) and Registered Community Design (RCD). These provide a single right that protects industrial design or trademark in the entire 25-nation EU mega-market of 450 million people. Both national trademarks and the CTM can be registered through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The U.S. Commercial Service can provide information on EU-wide protection for IPR and defend IPR in Europe at trade fairs.

For those of you using Mac OS X and RapidWeaver for your web design, here are the settings you should have in your Publish Site... dialog for the domain "yourdomain.com"
Publish using: FTP
Server: yourdomain.com
Username: [your chosen username for this domain]
Password: [password as provided by Dreamhost]
Site path: /yourdomain.com/
Use SFTP: OFF
Use passive mode: ON
Log on anonymously: OFF
Note the forward slash (/) before and after the domain name in Site path: that's important.
I'm still unclear as to how to publish a site for testing purposes through rolls.dreamhosts.com. Perhaps someone else can elucidate.
Good luck.
To publish using sFTP:
1. When you publish a site for the FIRST TIME, you MUST publish in FTP mode. No need to upload an entire website, just a one empty page website. And so with the following details: both the server and the path must be you domain name (like domain.com).
2. For the following publications, just set RapidWeaver to publish in SFTP mode WITHOUT changing the path. In so from the previous example it should remain as:
And that's it.

One good thing about this cold weather is that soups and stews always sound so good! Somehow they are just not as relevant or appealing during the summer when it's 90 degrees out...I had some ground meat around and some tomatoes to get rid of, so this is what inspired this really easy stew. I absolutely love cabbage rolls and there's an awesome Ukranian restaurant in the city that makes amazing ones, so I thought of this as kind of a deconstructed version, with all the good stuff in one pot. I called it a goulash because of the sweet paprika in it, and because I like the sound of it, but it can really be whatever.
If you have a website or a blog, I would love for you to share and link to my recipes! It really helps me spread the word to as many people as possible. Recently, my recipe for these Banana Beet Brownies was featured on Chris Freitag's blog and it was very exciting! Please let me know if you would like to collaborate on a post or recipe as well, and I have outlined a couple of ideas as far as this in my new Services tab! As always, I welcome any suggestions or feedback, since I am still fairly new to all of this. Thank you and enjoy :)
Cabbage Roll Goulash
- Approx. 1 1/2 lbs. of ground turkey or beef
- 1/2 large head of cabbage
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 6 oz. can if tomato paste
- 1 28 oz. can of whole tomatoes with juice (or about 7 chopped roma tomatoes)
- 1 tbsp. salt (plus more to taste)
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 1 tsp. basil
- 1 tsp. caraway seeds
- 2 tbsp. sweet paprika (plus more to taste)
- 1 tbsp. honey (optional)
- Place onions and olive oil in a big pot, cover, and let simmer over low heat until they start to become translucent. Stir occasionally if needed.
- Add ground meat to the pot, add salt, and pepper, and cook over medium heat, covering and stirring until meat is thoroughly cooked.
- Add cabbage, tomatoes, and tomato paste, cover and let cook until the stew comes to a boil. Reduce heat and add water if the stew becomes too thick.
- Once the tomatoes and cabbage have softened (you may need to use your spatula to help the tomatoes fall apart if you are using canned ones), add oregano, basil, caraway seeds, garlic powder, honey, and paprika. Cover again and let cook over low to medium heat for another 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and add additional salt/paprika as desired.
- Remove from heat and serve, or store in the refrigerator for up to a week after it cools!
Please share the love :)
