02.28.2011 / 5 Life Changes That Could Impact Your Taxes
Your life is not static, and if you experienced a major life change in 2010, that could impact your tax return you will file. So, we have put together a list of 5 life events for you to review.
- Getting Married. You're ready to start on your journey in life as a married couple. From a tax perspective, your filing status will also change to married, either filing jointly or separately. A tax professional or tax preparation software can help you decide which works to your tax advantage. (Make sure your employers also change your filing status on 401(k) accounts.) Also, your retirement account contributions and deduction limits may change. And don't forget, if you changed your name after getting married, you'll need to apply for a new social security card with that name, or you could face delays in processing your tax return.
- Buying a Home. It's important that you learn about all the deductions you may qualify for as a homeowner, including mortgage interest, state and local property taxes, and loan origination fees (or points).
- Welcoming a Baby. Along with the pleasure of welcoming this new bundle of joy into your family you also get the opportunity to claim your newborn as a dependent, reducing your taxable income. Also, as a parent, you may also qualify for the child tax credit, the earned income credit and a child care credit. Finally, don't forget to apply for a Social Security card for your baby.
- Changing Jobs. If you relocate for work, you may be able to deduct your moving expenses. If your job change leads to self-employment, you may need to make quarterly tax payments, and you'll be subject to self-employment tax as well as income tax. Also, unemployment wages are considered taxable income.
- Retiring. It's time to enjoy the next phase of your life, but it's also important that you understand the changes in your taxes too.
- Explore your options for taking distributions from your retirement plan. What's best for you depends on multiple factors, including your age and type of accounts you hold.
- If you take on work, or even part-time, it may affect your Social Security benefits, potentially making them taxable.

Trimming objects with NetFabb Studio Basic
We're very taken with bratskbars' range of three-dimensional decorative flourishes, as published on Thingiverse. You can see here how well it looks atop this antique grandfather clock.
But when we came to print it out, we found there was an error in the design: the base, which should have been flat, had a lump on it. This meant that while the lump printed just fine, the rest of the design was trying to print in thin air – and so we faced the usual problem of having cascading filament pouring out of the nozzle without sticking.
The solution was to trim the base to remove the bottom lump. Here's how to do that using NetFabb Studio Basic.
1. Open the stl file
You'll need to use the Add button to place the object on the bed. It will default to a corner position; simply drag it more to the middle for better access:
2. Zoom right in
You need a close-up view, so click the button showing three balls on the menu bar to zoom to the current object. The view will be enlarged so that this fits the screen:
3. Change the viewpoint
The icons at the top left let you view the object from different set angles. Click the one with the front face highlighted in order to view it directly from the front. Now, you can see the offending lump at the base: drag the magnifying glass icon to enlarge it for a better view. But you still cant see it that clearly:
4. Try a different view
Try different views of the object until you can see the offending section more clearly. In this case, a side view gives a much better idea of what's going on:
5. Set the cut
In order to trim the base off, you want to set a cut in the Z axis. Drag the slider in the Cuts section, or type in a number. I found that trimming a bit of the object itself, as well as the lump, helped to ensure the base would be flat:
6. Click the Cut button
Click the button marked Execute Cut and you'll see a screen like this. Leave the Cutting Options settings as they are for this simple cut, and then click Cut on here as well:
7. The cut object
Once the cut has been made, the object will be deselected, so it's shown in grey rather than green. You may well see a warning triangle, which indicates that the object is no longer watertight – but this can be fixed later:
8. Select the piece to cut
Now that the object has been divided into two, you'll see it's now listed twice in the Parts list, first as (Cut 1) and second as (Cut 2). Next, you need to tell NetFabb which one to remove. Click on it, and it will turn green; then double-click the X in a circle next to the object's name (it will be highlighted in the Parts list) to delete it:
9. Fix the part
Click the red cross icon in the menu bar to fix the remaining part. Now, the offending area will have been removed and you're ready to go:
If you wish, you can continue in NetFabb to slice and prepare the model for printing. We found, however, that NetFabb had difficulty with filament retraction, which meant a lot of strings on the model that had to be manually removed after printing. Until a fix is found, a better solution might be to export the model as an STL file and slice it in another program.

Far be it from me to resort to weather-talk on this blog, but…
HAVE YOU BEEN OUTSIDE LATELY? Has Mother Nature had a nervous breakdown, or what?
This top photo was taken Monday evening, but the rest were shot around sunset today, mostly around High Park. I'm on blossom-watch, you see, because I have some couples who'd like to do their engagement photos in the park but the unstable climate has been extending the hibernation of plant life. After picking up my car from the garage (more on this in a moment), I went to High Park to guesstimate how long it will be before we see some blooming action. Maybe last year spoiled us and we've forgotten about the previous year (2009), when the blossoms didn't make their appearance until May. At any rate, my guess is that the magnolia trees will need a few more days and the cherry trees will need a little longer, maybe a week.
The car is back in action, after another day at the garage, this time with a mysterious internal leak of antifreeze. The saga began last Thursday enroute to Detroit, sitting in traffic and watching with alarm as the temperature gauge climbed steeply. I pulled over and looked under the hood for a sign of the problem. That's when I noticed the antifreeze reservoir was empty. I exited at Port Credit (Mississauga) and bought the last few bottles of antifreeze from a gas station. Hugo watched for a leak under the car but there wasn't one, even after I poured in TWO 1-litre bottles. I kept the last bottle at the back just in case.
On Sunday when it was time for me to leave Detroit, I checked the reservoir again and I'd lost a whole litre in just a few days. Not good. I poured in the last bottle and made it home alright, but when I checked it again a few days ago, the litre was gone… and still no sign of a leak. I brought the car in yesterday and the garage called this morning with the verdict: thermostat housing was broken, causing the leak. I picked up the car after work, and while I was at the service desk it occurred to me to finally speak up and ask if the mechanics were Portuguese.
"I'm going to Portugal."
And those, ladies and gents, were the magic words: the manager's face lit up like a beacon and next thing I knew, he was teaching me Portuguese phrases and urging his son to fetch maps from their travel agency next door and drawing out itineraries for me on paper. The place was filling up with people bringing in their cars for repair, and every time I tried to extricate myself from what looked more like a tourist info centre rather than an automotive repair shop, the manager kept telling me not to leave yet. So I stood there feeling the heat from the people behind me while the manager listed all the historical sites I should visit and the aesthetic features of each. Every time an employee walked by the desk (almost everyone working at this 24-hour garage is Portuguese) he was beaming, pointing to me and telling them that I was going to Portugal. It was charming and embarrassing at the same time.
Finally, I grabbed my car keys and promised I would return — without the car! — for more Portuguese language lessons. I turned the key in the ignition and the battery light came on immediately. Thinking this was just a temporary thing I kept the car running and it didn't go away. Turned off the car, tried again and the light came back on after about 30 seconds. I tried this several times before getting the manager's attention, and he motioned for me to bring my car back in and got me to jump the queue — SORRY AGAIN, PEOPLE! A mechanic just starting his shift thought it might be the alternator, did some testing and eventually found a fuse had blown. He replaced it while I was standing there and turned to the manager who, still very stoked about me visiting his homeland, waived any charges. Even as I was backing out of the garage, I could hear him telling the mechanic that I was going to Portugal! It was charming and embarrassing and good fortune, all at once :)

While Lyrics Born's official jump-off into the world of underground hip-hop was part of the Solesides duo Latryx (along with Lateef The Truth Speaker), after years of putting it down on various 12inches, remixes, and compilations, he didn't see his full-length solo debut until 2004′s Later That Day. Riding off the buzz of that release, LB follows up with Same Shit, Different Day, a compilation album of remixes and new songs.
Like Later That Day, Same Shit Different Day gives listeners a taste of the many styles and sounds of the multi-talented Lyrics Born. He is easiest to grasp when catering to the masses on posse cut remixes of "Pack Up" (feat. Evidence and KRS-One) and "Callin' Out" (feat. E-40 and Casual), both doses of raw hip-hop which feature the five emcees competing for the spotlight. The same can be said on underground party movers like the new Jumbo remix of "Hello", and the Morcheeba reinterpretation of "Stop Complaining". But mainstream folk will most enjoy LB as he pours his heart out on either remix of the classic "I Changed My Mind", as well as it's follow-up "Shake It Off (Bad Dreams Part 2)", where LB sings the blues with equal passion.
But Lyrics Born most interesting moments come when attacking with unorthodox styles. Eminem would be jealous if he heard Young Einstien's remix of "Do That There", where Born delivers three incredible, comprehensive entirely rhyming verses, with the third verse taking the cake. "I'm Just Raw" is another lyrical exercise, where LB delivers an array of humorous caps (despite the questionable SNL inspired hook).
But Same Shit, Different Day does hit a snag or two, as the album moves into mellower territory on the pair of Joyo Velarde crooned tracks with both "Over You" and "I Can't Wait For Your Love". While neither track is bad, there are plenty of other good examples of Lyrics Born in good form throughout the rest of the album.
Still, while Same Shit Different Day presents a bevy of different styles from the emcee, that's also part of it's problem. Those dreading monotony, fear not, but on the same token, S.S.D.D. feels like it's all over the place. However, in its defense, it should, for it is a remix album, not a true sophomore release. Die hard fans will enjoy it, newbies will find a few things to appreciate on it, but it make take a new full-length of fresh new material to please everybody.

Reviews for Crunchy Vanilla Walnuts
"Doubled the batch and cooked at the same temp and time. Superb! I may need to hide them!"
"Very tasty snack! I followed the recipe as written, using Splenda instead of sugar. I also discovered I didn't have enough walnuts, so I ended up using 2 cups of walnuts and 2 cups of pecans. They were done for me after 25 minutes, and made the kitchen smell wonderful!"
"I love this recipe, the walnuts were so good. I thought it was a great balance of sweet & spicy. (I used Splenda). Super easy to make."
"Due to comments here, we have reviewed and retested this recipe. We have lowered the baking temp to 300 and the time to 30 min. The changes will be updated here soon. We aplogize for the error.Taste of Home Test Kitchen"
"The walnuts burned even when stirred every 10 minutes. I think if the cook time/temp were adjusted the flavor would be good, so optimistically went with two stars, even though my first attempt at this recipe was definitely a one star."

February 7th, 2012 will be the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens and this comes at a time when the famous nineteenth century novelist seems more and more contemporary.
Why am I writing about him when I'm in no way a Dickens expert? Well, like me, he spent most of his life in London and the English county of Kent and, having found out about his charitable nature, he's turning into a major hero of mine.
Charles Dickens, the son of a Navy pay-office clerk who was to spend time in prison for insolvency, is considered one of the best writers of the 19th century. Whilst his father was in jail, Dickens was forced to leave school and work ten-hour days pasting labels on bottles.
The experience at an early age, both of his father's incarceration and the necessity to leave education for menial work, shaped his later life and work.
Dickens was entertaining, generous, and liked a drink. His life and work concerned the affairs of the impoverished and disadvantaged. He supported and educated the orphaned children of acquaintances and was involved in a number of philanthropic works.
1. Generosity
The mid-eighteen hundreds was a period of great turmoil in Europe, characterized by huge technological advances but by an ever increasing gap between rich and poor. In Britain, the people were cold and hungry whilst the country was at the peak of its political and technological power.
Whilst money must have been of primary importance to the young Charles Dickens, he certainly didn't hoard it once he'd started earning.
In one of his most famous and cinematized works, A Christmas Carol, Dickens warns us against penny pinching and meanness.
Early on in the novel a couple of gentlemen visit Scrooge in his shop asking for "some slight provision for the poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time". Scrooge declines:
"Are there no prisons?" asked Scrooge.
"Plenty of prisons," said the gentleman.
"And the Union workhouses?" demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
"They are. Still," returned the gentleman, "I wish I could say they were not."
Scrooge dismisses the gentlemen by saying: "I don't make merry myself at Christmas and I can't afford to make idle people merry."
Later that night, as we all know, Scrooge is visited by three ghosts. One of them reveals to Scrooge two shockingly emaciated children by the names of Ignorance and Want. Scrooge asks if the grotesque children have "no refuge, no resource," and the spirit repeats Scrooge's unkind words from earlier that day, "Are there no prisons, are there no workhouses?"
Scrooge is a lesson to us all. Although he is a good businessman, he is a poor man in terms of spirit, appreciation and kindliness.
People are more important than money.
2. Perseverance
Writing did not come naturally to Dickens. Unlike other writers, Trollope for instance, he couldn't rattle off 6,000 words before breakfast. He had to exert himself to master his craft. After a long day's writing, he would fetch a bucket of cold water, emerse his head in it, dry himself off and start working again.
Successful people work hard.
3. Changing and adapting
Dickens was eager to give the readers what they wanted. The episodic publication of his books meant that his plots could change in response to lower than normal sales of earlier chapters.
Test your products and tweak them according to what your customers want.
4. Travelling
As a journalist, Dickens travelled the entire country, which would have been rare at his time. And, as soon as his income from book sales allowed, he travelled to America twice and extensively throughout Europe.
His experiences of different parts of his country and of different cultures in the world broadened his mind and improved his writing.
Travel broadens the mind.
5. Taking exercise/walking
Scarcely a day would pass without Dickens leaving his desk and walking the streets of London. He could routinely walk 20 miles a day, and once left at 2am to walk from his house in London to his country residence in Kent, 30 miles away.
Walking not only served to inspire Dickens's great descriptions of nineteenth century London but, more importantly, it gave him respite from his desk and helped to clear his mind so that he could return to his work refreshed. Whilst out and about, he could often be heard muttering or shouting to himself as he grappled with his characters' dialogues.
Exercise increases productivity.
6. Modern Technology
To Dickens, the electric telegraph – the world's first instantaneous means of long-distance communication – was 'the most wonderful' of 'all our modern wonders'. There was obviously something about instantaneous mass communication that interested Dickens and interests us all greatly now.
What would Dickens be doing if he were alive today? He would, of course, have a blog.
Always keep your eyes open to the next advancement in communication technology.
7. Making money from small purchases
Dickens's wealth didn't come from the sale of expensive items; it was instead, as a contemporary put it, the result of "thousands and thousands of individuals, putting down their shillings month after month in exchange for another 32 pages of tightly packed letterpress".
Selling multiple items of negligible cost is a sound business model.
8. Money
The effects of his father having to go to debtor's prison left an indelible mark on the young Charles. He put these words into the mouth of David Copperfield's Mr Micawber: "if a man had twenty pounds a year, and spent nineteen pounds nineteen shillings and sixpence, he would be happy; but a shilling spent the other way would make him wretched".
Dickens's estate on his death was £93,000, comfortably making him a millionaire by today's standards. And this despite being known for his generosity.
Always spend less than you earn.
9. Avoiding bubbles
In 1825, in a climate of feverish speculation, a nervous Bank of England refused to lend money cheaply to British banks and companies. 80 banks failed, and almost 500 companies went bankrupt almost overnight.
This Victorian economic crisis is depicted in Nicholas Nickleby, when Mr and Mrs Nickleby speculate with their joint assets of £2,000 and a farm. "A mania prevailed, a bubble burst … four hundred nobodies were ruined". Mr Nickleby dies soon afterwards.
Avoid speculation and the "something for nothing" economy.
What can Charles Dickens teach you today?
Charles Dickens certainly learned from the mistakes of others, dragged himself and his extended family from poverty and still found extra time and cash to do good deeds and help others.
Whereas with every financial crisis, politicians and bankers seem to have to learn the same lessons over and over again.
But, hopefully, we only have to make mistakes once to learn from them.
What mistakes have you learned from and what principles will you be applying to your life and work in 2012?

Kanye West SLAMS MediaTakeOut: "They So F**kin' Full Of Sh*t!" (VIDEO)
At his Atlantic City concert over the weekend, Kanye West took a moment to blast the press — and call out one particular outlet that continuously runs false stories about the rapper.
In the video, West takes aim at gossip blog MediaTakeOut, which in the last month alone has reported that Kim Kardashian was "banned" from his "Watch The Throne" Paris show (not true); that West tweeted a naked photo of her (false); and that Kardashian was plotting to cheat on him with an NFL player (made up).
West tells the crowd, "A lot of times, the press is trying to take everything negative. Just look at MediaTakeOut, they so f**kin' full of sh*t!"
"Show your motherf**kin' face, so I can smack the sh*t out of you!" rants the singer.
Let's hope the "reporters" at MTO never find themselves in the same room as West.
Check out the video below!

The Way I See It
A last minute trip to the Canyon Lake area to reconnect with my childhood friend Cyd Owen and her family proved to be a relaxing time after a sad time.
The drive there was so pretty. The early rains have been very conducive for Texas' famed wildflowers. Bluebonnets, dandelions, phlox and thistles were bountiful with the backdrop of the hill country completing the setting. I made a complete road trip circle. Heading north on I35 (thank you Spring Breakers) and then came back on Hwy. 281.
Of course our south Texas highways are just as beautiful. Highway 16 was full of
"real" bluebonnets.
What are "real" ones? I call the really blue ones - none of those white blooms on the tip top - real wild bluebonnets. Those others are pretty, that is for certain, just not as brilliant as the solid ones.
If you haven't been driving around the highways or backroads lately, be sure to do so before the blooms go away. Our photographer Leon Zabava captured a beautiful shot on Hwy. 97 going towards Floresville.
The lush green fields are also a welcomed sight after last year's torching summer.
It it good to know that with the proper nourishment, even the dry, dead looking grass of the past can produce new growth. And seeds that didn't have a chance to sprout last year are still viable and able to provide such beauty.
It lends much to everyday life.
In our bleakest time, the proper nourishment to our souls - love, understanding, forgiveness - can bring new life .
The way I see it, a healthy dose of all of the above is what I needed after this past week. Here's to new growth.

In this tutorial I will give you step by step instructions how to make this spin ring. Spin rings are also known as worry rings, or fidget rings, they have two pieces to them, a wide band that fits on your finger and a smaller band that fits on the wide band but moves independently, it is kept on the wide band by flaring out the edges.
This is an intermediate tutorial. You should know the proper use of your basic tools and have some experience with a larger torch. If you are a beginner you would benefit from my Soldered Silver Band tutorial. http://www.jewelrylessons.com/tutorial/basic-silver-soldered-band-ring

If you want a little zing in your water, try Ayala's Hint, Metromint, or Wateroos. Each bottle is free of sugar, sweeteners, preservatives and calories.
Electrolyte Water
Electrolyte water is distilled (which means it's boiled and then recondensed from the steam to kill microbes and remove minerals) and enhanced with potassium, magnesium, and calcium. According to the company's website, it also "one-ups ma nature by adding in electrolytes for faster hydration."
But there's no real evidence of there being a benefit to adding electrolytes to a hydration formula, experts say, unless you're intensely exerting yourself in blazing heat and eating isn't an option. Otherwise, plain water is just as effective.
Don't Forget BPA
Keep in mind that when you're buying a bottle of water, you may also be paying for something you definitely don't want: BPA. Many plastics are made with BPA—a hormone-disrupting chemical that's been linked to increased risk of heart disease and obesity—which means your bottled water is swimming with the chemical, too.
And then, of course, there's the issue of where the water actually comes from. In 2007, after receiving pressure from the nonprofit group Corporate Accountability International, Pepsi's Aquafina confessed their true source of water was filtered tap—not a mountain spring as they'd claimed.

Part II (click here for Part I)
Had you worked with Zoe Saldana before?
No, I hadn't.
How did you create your intense connection?
Guillaume was adamant that we spend time trying to create a very vivid sense of what that relationship was like. So we talked extensively about what our relationship was like before. What had happened. What happened since. So at the moment when we first see each other it's already filled with all of that history. It took quite a bit of creativity, writing it down, brainstorming ideas, but nothing particularly interesting to hear about. Most of it was just actorly office work. It required more work than Clive and I needed to play brothers. That took no time at all. We both understood sibling rivalry right away.
Guillaume made a good choice to set the story in the 1970s.
The classic Seventies drama was "The Godfather." It was great we had James Caan. There were a lot of cop stories then: "French Connection," "Dog Day Afternoon," and "Serpico." I can remember going to see "Fort Apache: The Bronx" with my dad at a drive-in.
It was a period of time in cinema, and in America, where people weren't taking the iconic personalities for granted anymore. There was this real sense that our government was not exactly what we thought it would be. Our military wasn't what we thought it would be. Our infrastructure, our country, there was all this second-guessing so I think that bled into second-guessing our heroes and these archetypes that we had. I've always had a great affection for that.
We're never going to be absent simplistic stories told about protagonists and antagonists. Those are always going to be mainstream. So, in order to broaden the scope of the continuum, I think it's great to tell these stories where the characters are neither good nor bad but they're conflicted like so many of us in the world are. Still it can be very dramatic and and entertain us for a couple of hours but also give us something to think about.
You do a lot of theater and films. Would you be interested in working in TV?
Some of the great writing right now is for TV.
Like "True Detective"?
Yes! But I've been fortunate so far to be able to do theater and film. You know, that's one thing about being an actor. You can't manufacture your own material. You're at the whim of the market and right now it's got me on stage, but I'm happy to go wherever it takes me. The work is the work.
How was it working with William H. Macy?
That was film called, "Rudderless" that we did last year, which was just a phenomenal opportunity for me. It was a really daring, interesting screenplay and I've always been a big fan of Bill Macy. There are actors that you look to because you hope that you share the same aesthetic. I look at his work and he creates such a complicated, nuanced, entertaining, charming, vivid characters and I've always been interested in being that kind of actor. I mean, I'm not the kind of actor that he is but he's somebody who I've always admired and aspired to be like so to get a chance to work with him was a remarkable experience. He did such a confident job of directing this.
When you're working on stage, what happens if you forget a line?
It happens all the time. It depends on the production and on the actors. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are amazing. They will improvise occasionally but it's more paraphrasing. I'm doing "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett and "No Man's Land" by Harold Pinter and they're both masters of the English language so you don't want to paraphrase around them too much. The idea of doing a play is getting it word for word. But, the other option, when you "go up" as they call it or you're "dry" — those are things they call it when you forget your lines — is to sit and wait. So we have a lot of times where the other actors don't come in because they can see you're forgotten a line and they're just sitting and waiting and there are these long, intense pauses, which actually build a lot of tension and you have to have great trust in the other actors that they're going to come around in the end.
I can remember doing a play a number of years ago, a Tom Stopper play called "The Coast of Utopia" and there was this long monologue where I was lecturing everybody and there were maybe three or four actors on the ground looking up and listening to me and one night I "went up" in the middle of the monologue so there was no other actor that could come in with another line because I had a couple more pages that I was supposed to say and I didn't know where I was. It could've been New York or Paris, it could've been anywhere and to watch the actors go from pretend listening to real listening when they realized I didn't know my lines was fantastic because you can watch an actor do a subtle body shift with real tension because they're on stage with someone who doesn't know what to say. So sometimes it's a real thrill. It can also lead to panic attacks and hospitalization but mostly it's a thrill.
It worked out because you won a Tony for it.
That's right. I brought it here with me. [Laughs]

Known for his luxe red carpet worthy gowns, Carmen Marc Valvo stunned yet again with his F/W '14 collection. Inspired by the Ottoman Empire and a recent trip to Turkey, Valvo presented a collection full of "women warriors," which showed that femininity doesn't have to mean frilly. Front row attendees on Feb. 8 included Katie Couric, Vanessa Williams, and Daisy Fuentes.
Valvo went heavy with embellishments with several looks that incorporated chain mail, brocade, lace, leather, and breastplate beading. Yet, with deep, rich colors, Valvo also managed for it to come across as restrained. While the collection was a mix of cocktail dresses, evening separates, and outerwear, Valvo triumphed most with the gowns he is known for. Looks included tunics worn over leather skinnies, fur coats, and beaded skirts.
Showstoppers included a black and red satin gown with chain mail top, a beaded top paired with a floor length wool skirt, a royal blue voluminous gown with chain straps, and a floor length lace number.
The beauty look took the tough girl chic to a new level with makeup by MAC and hair by Ted Gibson.
"This makeup is about a really strong powerful woman," MAC Cosmetics Lead Artist Romero Jennings told us. "She's a warrior, she's a fighter, she has strength, but at the same time she still needs to look feminine and pretty, so I did this beautiful brow that's extended and arched a little bit. The brow really is the frame of the makeup, the liner is the structure and the strength, almost giving her armor or protection. Everything else is neutral and translucent."
Gibson too talked about creating a look that was powerful yet feminine. "I wanted to do ponytails because I thought ponytails would be interesting, but I didn't want to do a simple ponytail, I wanted to do one that had some street to it," Gibson told us. "So I incorporated the leather and made it a tiered ponytail. You get a couple different feelings from it, from the front, side and back. It's a three dimensional hairdo."
Get the look:
1. Flat iron hair
2. Add L'Oreal Professionnel's Architexture and brush back to smooth out hairline
3. Create a centered ponytail with a bungee
4. Add extension hair to ponytail
5. Wrap and tie leather around bungee
6. Use black elastics to make a tiered ponytail
7. Add chunky clip on bangs
8. Finish with beautiful hold hairspray

As a devoted fan of loose tea, sometimes I like the "fuss" of preparation: the measuring of the tea, placing it in the steeper, setting the timer, straining the tea and, finally, pouring it into my cup. But, let's be honest, sometimes, that's more work than we're up for or our environs just can't accommodate. And, for tea ingenues, all that fuss can be intimidating. TeaDrops provides a solution for all those situations while - most importantly - not sacrificing great taste.
TeaDrops are small bundles of tea formed in shapes such as stars and hearts that can be placed into your cup and all that's left to do is add hot water and stir. We sampled the "variety box" which contains two each of four different teas: cardamom spice, citrus ginger, peppermint and rose earl grey. They were as tasty to drink as they were easy to prepare.
My daughter, Rachel, is the chai devotee of the family, and she loved the cardamom spice tea. The mix of black tea, cardamom, ginger and vanilla hits just the right balance of sweet and spicy. With a splash of cream, it's special treat. This has become Rachel's new favorite tea.
I tend to favor Earl Grey and found the "Rose Earl Grey" to be delightful for afternoon tea time. The addition of rose petals to the traditional black tea and citrus blend, provides a a bit of sweetness which nicely compliments the typical tangy flavor of Earl Grey.
Important to note: the teas include organic sugar, so they all taste a bit sweeter than a standard blend. TeaDrops is coming out with a Stevia (non-sugar) version as well as a non-sweetened series in the upcoming months.
I found all the teas good tasting and fun to make. All the tea is individually wrapped, making it easy to bring anywhere, including the office. The tea comes in packages of eight (variety or select tea) and housed in compostable paper boxes or beautiful balsa wood boxes with a sliding top. The latter makes a wonderful gift option.
To order TeaDrops and for more information, visit their website at myteadrop.com.
Reviewers note: TeaDrops was sent to me by TeaDrops to sample. The Detroit Tea Examiner does pick and choose what products appear in print and does not recommend something we would not use on ourselves or family.

The islands of Hawaii have often served Susanna Moore as the canvas for her lush and haunting novels. In I Myself have Seen It, she proves the mystery, beauty, and myth of her native islands to be every bit as compelling as her fiction. She interweaves her own memories of growing up in Honolulu in the 1950s and '60s with a concise chronicle of Hawaii's two-hundred-year encounter with the West. Seeking the elusive heart of Hawaii, Moore revisits the small rural island of Kauai. In the breathtaking landscape, she discovers that old, unwritten songs of Polynesia have survived despite the onslaught of missionaries in the early 18th century, the establishment of Hawaiian-language newspapers, and foreign attempts to free Hawaiians of their pagan superstitions. These songs and the ones engendered by them, written by queens and hula masters alike, become the centerpiece for Moore's mesmerizing discovery of the real Hawaii.

lets you taste what is really [in Hawaii] beyond tourist traps [and] cellophane garlands.Newsday

Every boat, no matter how big or small, must have a skipper. The skipper is legally responsible for the safety of the boat and all the people on board, and is also responsible for complying with all the relevant rules and regulations.
Even though no licence is required to operate a pleasure boat in New Zealand, ignorance of any maritime rules or regional bylaws is not accepted as an excuse. Failure to comply can lead to fines or prosecution.
Before you undertake any form of boating activity, we recommend you undertake some form of boating education and understand the "rules of the road on the water".
For more on skipper responsibility, watch the clip on our Boatsafetyinnnz channel on YouTube

The weather conditions will be ideal for this weekend's 20th annual Medina Ice Festival: Cold.
"We are fortunate to have about perfect weather, mid- to high 20s and cloudy," Main Street Medina Executive Director Matt Wiederhold said. "If it gets too hot, like the past couple years, the sculptures melt; and if it's sunny, the sculptures get cloudy. Cloudy skies keep the ice solid and clear."
"I think turnout will be high this year. It's always such as huge event that people always look forward to every year. It's the largest ice-carving event in the state," he said.
Wiederhold said the festival won't have anything different this year, but said sponsorships by local businesses are a record high.
The ice-sculpting and speed-carving contests are sponsored by more than 50 area businesses and agencies, as are all of the sculptures lining Public Square.
"By Sunday afternoon, we could have up to 140 ice sculptures on the square," he said.
All the sculptures lining the sidewalk were carved in advance or on-site by Aaron Costic of Elegant Ice Creations in Broadview Heights.
Costic, a Medina native, has been sculpting for 24 years. He learned the art while attending culinary school.
While studying garde manger — the culinary art of preparing and presenting cold foods in an artful fashion — Costic found ice carving. He said his instructor encouraged his passion and pushed him to compete in contests.
Costic founded the ice festival after a friend inspired him 20 years ago.
His friend, who owned a former restaurant on the square, came from Plymouth, Mich., which also has an annual festival.
"He contacted me and I put it together with Mike Rose of Washington Properties," Costic said.
While he talked, Costic carved a life-sized motorcycle outside Main Street Cafe, a feat he's never attempted before.
"This is pretty new. I've never done this. (Main Street Cafe owner) Gary (Quesada) told me just do whatever I wanted and he didn't know what it would be until he came out and saw the drawing on the ice."
The bike was carved from 10 blocks of ice weighing 3,000 pounds. Costic said children will be able to sit on the bike and have their picture taken.

• 1 to 8 p.m. — Main Street Medina Wine Tasting, 32 Public Square

The recently implemented Public Leadership and Service (PLAS) Fellowship Program created by the Fels Institute of Government has allowed...
By Casandra Dominguez, MPA '13
Politics of Housing and Urban Development students publish results of a study of Philadelphia homes in Southwest Center City repaired by grants provided through the Basic Systems Repair Program (BSRP)
Around the time I was applying to grad school, I came across an article in the Penn Gazette about Professor John Kromer and his book "Fixing Broken Cities." Even as a Penn graduate, I did not know much about the Fels program, but was immediately drawn to the content of the book - lessons learned from Philadelphia's redevelopment and revival, along with stories from other cities struggling with population loss and disinvestment. Working in finance in NY, I was secretly interested in economic development and urban renewal, and this book seemed to exactly describe the kind of work I would like to do.
Fast forward a couple of years and I am now at Fels taking John Kromer's class for which I am reading "Fixing Broken Cities." One of the reasons I chose Fels is because the courses are taught by practitioners who focus the coursework around their experiences on the ground. Politics of Housing and Urban development has been a crash course on a myriad of different development and housing strategies and why some fail and others succeed, without forgetting the important role played by politics. While most coursework at Fels try to focus on real-world case studies, contributing to an actual report that looks into the effectiveness of a never before researched program gives the project that much more meaning and purpose.
In this project, class members compiled information about the 68 BSRP houses and conducted on-site surveys in order to determine whether the low-income homeowners who had lived in them during the time in which they were repaired have since remained in their homes or whether--for one reason
or another—they no longer live there.
Two class members also investigated a related question: as a future policy, should the City place liens on properties that receive BSRP-funded repairs, so that the City's investment can be recovered at the time of property sale,
with the lien proceeds used to fund future BSRP cases?
Having the opportunity to present the findings to politicians, community representatives and agency managers brings to bear the importance of the data and how it might shape policy going forward. Seeing the range of reactions from the various city officials put into perspective the politics of city programs and how differing constituencies inform their position on the findings and potential next steps.

Joseph Reilly, the 21-year-old man critically injured in a fatal car crash in Hazel Dell last month, has improved slightly at a local hospital.
Reilly was listed in serious condition at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, hospital spokesman Ken Cole said Monday afternoon.
According to the Clark County Sheriff's Office, Reilly was hit by Annastasia Morrison, 20, of Vancouver, who lost control of her speeding 2006 Mazda MX6 4-door sedan on Highway 99 near Northeast 72nd Street on Nov. 27. Reilly was walking to work at Smokey's Hot Oven Pizza at 2:52 p.m. when he was hit by the Mazda. He was thrown across 72nd Street by the impact, landing in the parking lot of Collins Plaza, an office complex. The car then hit a post, which tore it in half, killing Morrison, said traffic homicide Detective James Payne.
Family spokesman Aaron Hahn said things are kind of in a "holding pattern" as Reilly recovers from a series of surgeries.
"Everything is going as well as can be expected at this point," Hahn said.
Anyone wanting to help Reilly's family pay for medical bills can donate to the Fund for Joseph M. Reilly at any TwinStar Credit Union branch.
Smokey's Pizza in Hazel Dell, where Reilly works, will hold a fundraiser for the family Tuesday. Twenty percent of all proceeds between 6 and 9 p.m. will be donated to the fund, Hahn said. Both Smokey's locations have donation jars for the fund.

The subject of whether one man should have been traded for 5 convicted terrorists has been escalating on the news. According to Fox News, Army Sergeant Bowe R. Bergdahl is recuperating and receiving treatment at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, after arriving from Afghanistan, where he was held captive for nearly five years.
There are so many underlying things about the whole situation that people should know and then consider before deciding if Sgt. Bergdahl should be celebrated as a hero or condemned as a traitor.
"Army SGT Bergdahl was not "captured" by the enemy in 2009. He abandoned his assigned post on his Forward Operating Base (FOB), leaving his weapon. Several U.S. Army Soldiers lost their lives in search for Bergdahl."
According to a column on Allen B. West's website; Clare Lopez, a former CIA operations officer, a strategic policy and intelligence expert with a focus on Middle East, national defense, WMD, and counterterrorism issues; informed Allen about what Sgt. Bergdahl's father said at the beginning of a press conference at the White House on June 2, 2014.
"What none of these media is reporting is that the father's (SGT Bowe Bergdahl's father Bob) first words at the WH were in Arabic – those words were "bism allah alrahman alraheem" – which means "in the name of Allah the most gracious and most merciful" – these are the opening words of every chapter of the Qur'an except one (the chapter of the sword – the 9th) – by uttering these words on the grounds of the WH, Bergdahl (the father) sanctified the WH and claimed it for Islam. There is no question but POTUS knows this."
More about Allen B. West: Mr. West retired from the Army in 2004. Today he is a Fox News Contributor and has a website entitled, "Steadfast &n Loyal" During his 22 year career in the United States Army, Lieutenant Colonel West served in several combat zones: in Operation Desert Storm, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was a Battalion Commander in the Army's 4th Infantry Division, and later in Afghanistan. He received many honors including a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals and a Valorous Unit Award. In 1993 he was named the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year.
This conversation will continue on Ms. "V"s Blog to discuss if there's a Christian perspective about one person's deliverance and what the government has done. There are many facts to consider and many questions that need to be addressed. ???What Say You???

by Richard Boylan, Ph.D.
The Cabal refers to a clique of global-scale plutocratic manipulators who use their immense wealth, prestige and power to control governments and economies to perpetuate their stranglehold on global society. This is the organization behind the UFO Cover-Up Among other evils. This group is comprised of the most selfish, megalomaniacal, and sociopathic individuals.
Some Cabal big-shots participate in the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission global policy-making groups. But these groups are not synonymous with the Cabal, since BC, CFR and TLC also contain some well-intentioned people participating.
The Cabal is a kind of a parallel government to the official elected and appointed governments of countries. A dark Shadow Government.
The Cabal has been around for many millennia in its various previous incarnations, its members often emerging as dark-side shamans, witches or witch doctors, or members of secret societies, priest-craft guilds, metaphysical groups such as Freemasons, and elite clubs such as the Illuminati, or more recently, Yale's Skull and Bones, and, whose inner initiates use for power dark psychic arts such as psychic projection, conjured hallucinations, and dream-insertions, etc. They use these to intimidate, influence, and control targeted individuals. The human-like reptilian imagery they use manipulatively sometimes has been a favorite over the millennia, as these dark-arts magicians shrewdly capitalize on a widespread natural human aversion to reptiles.
Where did the Cabal's esoteric knowledge-for-domination come from? The knowledge the Cabal has hoarded for their inner circle is knowledge and skills about: spiritual matters, psychic abilities, of what we would call today psychology, of what we would call today politics, and the exercise of theatrical mysticism in what we would call magic, especially the dark arts. To primitive peoples, the practitioners of these advanced abilities seemed like gods or at least persons who deserved to rule over them. The Cabal also killed off any opposition, by claiming that natural psychics were witches or demons or unnatural beings. With no competition left, the field was clear for them to dominate.
How did/do they maintain control of their power across the passing-away of one societal epoch and the emergence of the next? They did so through directed, intentional serial reincarnations, each time choosing to come back working the dark side, and building upon knowledge and arcane lore that they had had retained from a previous lifetime.
The Cabal have increased their power by consciously choosing to reincarnate into a selfish-focused new lifetime/persona, time and time again in successive lifetimes, and continuing to associate with other dark-arts practitioners in groups who abuse their ESP powers to manipulate, control, and gain more power. As they have grown in power with each successive generation, their abilities far outstrip most persons who happen to have incidental and occasional psychic ability.
Further, the Cabal have over the centuries eliminated the competition by identifying psychically-gifted individuals (through social-network snitches, or by remote-sensing such good psychics, and then branding them as witches, warlocks, voodoo doctors, heretics, devil-worshipers , demons-in-disguise, etc., so that either the Cabal-controlled governments or a panicked citizenry will imprison or execute them.
Thus, the path is cleared for the Cabal dark wizards to be the only ones left to operate as they please.
Of course, they do all this from the shadows, continuing to foster the illusion that a group such as the Cabal doesn't really exist, and that anyone saying the contrary is a conspiracy nut.
Books like Jim Marrs's
Rule By Secrecy
, or Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier's
Morning of the Magicians
trace back the intertwined history of magic, secret societies and power-grabbing for varying lengths of time. But understanding how the Cabal have been operating is key to arriving at a revisionist and accurate understanding of the true history of how things got to be this bad. (And it is also a key to breaking their power.)
We are fortunate that Star Nations has agreed to aid our efforts to eradicate this Cabal evil from our midst.
It is possible to discern who some of the top Cabal leadership are globally by their profiles and behavior: extreme self-absorption (disguised often with token charities), extreme wealth holdings, upper-level political meddling, power-tripping on a global scale, ruthlessness, and by their negative personal energy signatures.
Examples of upper levels of the Cabal are: many old plutocratic families, modern-day oligarchs, media moguls, high-end international financiers, some of the crowned heads particularly of Europe, certain heads of state with Cabal profile characteristics, and highly-placed individuals within certain intelligence agencies and the military.
While the leaders within the Cabal tend to get the most attention, it should be noted that the many tens of thousands of rank-and-file Cabal middlemen and operatives also make up this multi-layered network. All of these levels work synergistically, using financial, political, media and cultural-influence power to dominate, exploit and prey on ordinary people, often in subtle and hidden ways.
In the Cabal, five de-facto operations branches may be identified. These branches are: the Executive Branch, the Intelligence Branch, the War Department, the Weapons Industry Branch, and the Financial Department.
An analysis of the overall purposes of these five branches suggests that the overall purpose of the Cabal is to exercise covert control by: 1) collecting comprehensive institutional and personal information; 2) by establishing national and international policy independent of the established governments; 3) by developing highly-lucrative advanced-technology arms and equipment, and, using these to establish small specialized, highly-mobile, elite (often undeclared) military units to effect these covert policies when need arises without having to rely on the official (and 'unreliable') Armed Services, (whose subservience to any Cabal is reasonably suspect); 4) by developing an armed capability to repel any threat to the status quo [including the uncertain ontological, social, and economic impacts of any revelation of the reality of UFOs and Star Visitors' presence] through the development of a Star-Wars ground and space-based surveillance and SDI weapons network, 5) by denying information compromising to the Cabal from all those outside need-to-know policymaking levels, and 6) by exercising control on the money supply, availability of credit, and the worth of money, through policy decisions made outside of the official Governments.
The Cabal are also the rogue group behind the continuation of the unauthorized UFO Cover-Up. The Cabal has its proxies on some of the seats of the MJ-12 Group which controls globally information and access to UFO information and technology.
Since the Cabal has enormous international wealth at its disposal, it has the funds and influence to make sure that the majority of UFO presentations which make it to public view are negativistic in tone. Their thinking is that if they can't sell you the lie that UFOs don't exist, then their fall-back strategy is to convince you that the people inside UFOs are "evil mean invaders. Thus, the presentations they finance and promote feature the Star Visitors as torturers, plotters and monsters. Huge amounts of disinformation are being pumped out about Star Visitors, and to confuse things further, the Cabal make up or distort ancient legends and traditions about fearsome creatures, to create the illusion that, for example, 'resident evil reptilians have been menacing people for centuries' (sic).
The Cabal's shooting-down of UFOs and plundering their advanced technology for re-engineering and huge profits is to be distinguished from the official-but-covert multinational governments-authorized MJ-12 program of slow controlled release of UFO information.
The Cabal has infiltrator groups operating under cover of Fort Carson's secret National Reconnaissance Organization to conduct kidnappings and terrorizing of innocent civilians, camouflaged as 'alien abductions'. These Cabal units do wholesale cattle mutilations" hoping that angry ranchers and terrorized citizens will 'blame it on the aliens.'
It should also be noted that some of the lurid reports being palmed off on the public as examples of "alien misbehavior" are actually secret psychological warfare operations by Cabal private paramilitary units. These renegade paramilitary units kidnap civilians without legal authorization or justification. They drug those they kidnap, (often experiencers), then deliberately intimidate, interrogate, physically abuse, and even gang-rape the civilians they kidnap. The Cabal operatives then use brainwashing techniques to make the civilians they kidnap forget about the paramilitary doing the kidnapping, while they narco-hypnotically implant a false memory about the horrific experience as being an "alien abduction".
This is the level of evil, distortion and treachery that the truth-suppressing Cabal goes to in order to protect their monopoly of highly-advanced extraterrestrial technology recovered from UFO crashes: a monopoly which has brought them trillions of dollars in profits over the last seven-plus decades.
The Cabal's operatives also terrorize some UFO researchers who get too close, and even assassinate a few, making it look like "accidents" or "suicides". The Cabal have hijacked some psychotronic devices and weaponized them for unauthorized use on their enemies or on innocent civilian guinea-pig test subjects. In general, most of the horrific stuff done under the general disavowal of UFO reality program comes from the Cabal's version of the UFO Cover-Up, often using their plants within military and intelligence organizations to further camouflage who it is who is actually at work.
The above does not mean I give a free pass to the transnational MJ-12 Group. It is still morally responsible for the global suffering that could have been averted if the general public had access decades ago to clean non-petroleum energy, psychotronic healing machines, Zero Point Energy-powered hydroponic food-growing machines, gravity-shielded, superfast, non-polluting airliners and ocean freighters, and to the immense store of spiritual, metaphysical and scientific knowledge that the Star Visitors have wished to share with the people of Earth.
Some remote viewers have seen that the Cabal's power will start to be broken somewhere beginning in the early part of the 21st Century. The Cabal definitely will be ultimately left in the trash bin of history by the time the transition from Fourth World [the current societal corrupt mess] to Fifth World [cosmic, just, non-materialistic, peaceable, "extended-family" society] will be well under way towards establishing a global make-over of our society.

|Metagenomics studies have prospered from the rapid development of next-generation sequencing. However, microbial diversity analysis as an essential component of metagenomics is still facing three major challenges: handling errors in data, performing analysis efficiently for large data and avoiding primer bias issue. Since 16S rRNA gene sequences have been frequently used to profile microbial diversity, we focus on this data and successfully provide solutions to all three challenges: our proposed unsupervised Bayesian clustering method termed Clustering 16S rRNA for OTU Prediction (CROP) can find clusters based on the natural organization of data without setting a hard cutoff threshold (3%/5%) as required by hierarchical clustering methods. By applying our method to several datasets, we demonstrate that CROP is robust against sequencing errors and that it efficiently produces more accurate results than conventional hierarchical clustering methods. We also built a generic model for comparing 16S rRNA gene fragment data extracted from metagenomic shotgun sequencing data with targeted 16S rRNA sequencing data. This model, when combined with future benchmarking studies, could help validating 16S rRNA gene fragment data's ability to avoid primer bias and provide unbiased microbial diversity estimates. Our proposed analysis pipeline could also be implemented for future 16S rRNA gene fragment-based studies.

PDF is the Portable Document Format developed by Adobe. It's an open standard implemented by Adobe in their Acrobat series of software, but implementable and extensible by anybody who's got the time, inclination, and knack. One trick that's got a lot of potential is using PHP to dynamically generate PDF files and serve them via the web.
PHP can do a lot for your web operation (read our PHP Tutorial for Beginners tutorial). You can generate nice-looking printable receipts, invoices, and brochures. Disc-Cover has a test site that looks up info about a CD automatically and then generates a PDF label for the CD box that you can print, cut out, and use. And there are literally one billion other possible uses for dynamically generated PDFs.
So what are you waiting for?
You have a variety of PDF-generation options. The standard, classic way of doing it is with PDFlib. Because it's so widely used and well-integrated into PHP, that's the library I'll go over today. But it's by no means the only way of doing things. PDFlib is source-available, but not free. The license specifies that PDFlib can be used and redistributed without charge for non-commercial projects, but commercial use carries a fee.
There are also a number of completely free options. These include R&OS and FPDF, Panda. The choice is yours. (I haven't had a chance to test these free packages very thoroughly. If you have had negative or positive experiences with them, please do let me know.)Continue Reading "Generate PDFs Dynamically With PHP" »

Box Score | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
Arizona 15, Missouri 3 (Box Score)
TUCSON, Ariz. - Playing before a crowd of 5,086 at Hi Corbett Field, the Arizona baseball team pounded out 20 bases hits and rode the arm of All-American pitcher Kurt Heyer to a rousing 15-3 victory over Missouri in the school's first home postseason game since 1992.
Arizona (39-17), the Tucson Regional's top seed, faced early 2-0 and 3-2 deficits before erupting for seven runs in the fourth inning. From there, Heyer shut down fourth-seeded Missouri (32-27).
Joey Rickard, a junior, ripped three hits and drove in four runs to pace a group of upperclassmen that combined to hit 13-for-23 with nine runs scored and 10 runs batted in. Juniors Alex Mejia, Robert Refsnyder and Seth Mejias-Brean each tallied a pair of hits, while senior Bobby Brown delivered four hits, two runs and two runs batted in.
Heyer (W, 12-2) struggled early as he surrendered two runs on two hits, including Blake Brown's run-scoring triple, in the first inning. Then, after UA tied the game 2-2 in the bottom of the first, Heyer gave up an unearned run on a pair of hits in the second as the Tigers reclaimed a 3-2 edge.
The right-hander from Huntington Beach, Calif., was lights out from there.
Heyer, who struck out seven, did not allow a base hit the rest of the way, yielding just a pair of a walk and one ninth inning error for the only base runners he would allow. His nine-inning effort capped his seventh complete game of the season and the 10th of his Wildcat career.
In the decisive fourth inning, Arizona 11 batters to the plate and chased Missouri starter Blake Holovach. Brown opened the frame with a high-chop single to left field. He would put an exclamation point on the inning later as he came to bat again and roped a two-run double to the right field wall as the Wildcats went from a run down to six runs up with the 9-3 advantage
Holovach (L, 7-5) suffered the loss. The left-hander was charged with six earned runs on 10 hits, lasting just 3.1 innings.
All 10 Wildcat position players that played in the game registered a base hit, nine scored a run and eight drove in a run.
Arizona advances to play No. 3-seed Louisville (40-20) on Saturday night. The Wildcats will send right-hander Konner Wade to the mound against the Cardinal's Jared Ruxer, also a righty. Arizona will be the desginated visiting team and, first pitch is scheduled for 8 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPNU.
Tucson Regional Results
Game 1: (4) Louisville 3, (2) New Mexico State 2
Game 2: (1) Arizona 15, (4) Missouri 3
Tucson Regional Schedule (Saturday)
Game 3 (4 p.m.): (2) New Mexico State vs. (4) Missouri

Origin of the Morgan
The Morgan breed originated in
West Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1789, with a bay colt named Figure. As
a yearling, Figure was given to a Randolph, Vermont, schoolmaster named
Justin Morgan for partial payment of a debt. Figure was a stylish bay horse
of many talents. As Figure grew, his compact muscular body and stylish way
of moving impressed many of the pioneer farmers and settlers. He became
widely known for his ability to pull stumps and logs while clearing the land
of new settlers. In addition, he won races and pulling contests, was a
favored parade mount at militia training, and was used as a saddle and
driving horse. Soon tales of his beauty, strength, speed, hardiness,
endurance and gentle disposition spread amidst the small New England towns.
Because of his abilities Figure's stud services were offered throughout the
Connecticut River Valley and various Vermont locations over his lifetime.
His most valuable asset, however, was his ability to pass on his
distinguishing characteristics, not only to his offspring but also through
several generations. This is little bay horse named Figure became the
founding sire of the Morgan breed.
After Justin Morgan's death,
Figure moved on to other owners and spent a life work doing various
activities. In the practice of the day, he became known by his former
owner's name, the Justin Morgan horse. He spent his life working and died
in 1821 from an untreated kick received from another horse. His three most
famous sons- Sherman, Bulrush and Woodbury - would carry on his legacy to
future generations of Morgan horses.
Pictured below is an
artist's rendition of the ideal Morgan mare (left) and the ideal Morgan
stallion (right).
Breed Characteristics
Today, Morgans can be found in all
50 states and in more than 20 foreign countries. The Morgan averages
between 14.1 and 16 hands. It is frequently found in the colors bay, black,
brown, chestnut, gray, palomino, crème, dun and buckskin. The Morgan has
remained a stylish mount with conformation that lends itself well to a vast
range of disciplines. Morgan versatility is widely recognized. The breed's
soundness, power, agility and stamina make it the choice of many driving
enthusiasts. Morgans comprise a large number of entries at Combined Driving
and Carriage events, and were the first American breed to represent the
United States in World Pairs Driving competition. Morgans also excel in
many other disciplines, including Park Saddle and Harness, English and
Classic Pleasure Saddle and Driving, Western, Hunter, Jumper, Eventing,
Dressage, Reining, Cutting, Endurance and Competitive Trail. They are
gentle enough for lessons, 4-H and Pony Club involvement, and due to their
steady, comfortable gaits, are in great demand as therapeutic riding
horses. Morgans are equally well known for their loving, kind
dispositions. Those who buy a Morgan often say they have not only purchased
a horse, but have welcomed a new family member.

Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal reteams with "Prisoners" director, Academy Award nominee Denis Villeneuve, in a sexy and hypnotically surreal psychological thriller "Enemy" that pits a pair of dopplegangers against one another.
Adam Bell (Gyllenhaal) is a glum, disheveled history professor, who seems disinterested even in his beautiful girlfriend, Mary (Laurent).
Watching a movie on the recommendation of a colleague, Adam spots his double, a bit-part actor named Anthony Clair, and decides to track him down.
The identical men meet and their lives become bizarrely and irrevocably intertwined.
In the end, only one man can survive.
Gyllenhaal is described as transfixing in his dual roles of Adam and Anthony, provoking empathy as well as disapproval while embodying two distinct personas.
With masterfully controlled attention to detail, Villeneuve takes viewers on an enigmatic and gripping journey through a world that is both familiar and strange - and hard to shake off long after its final, unnerving image.
The film was adapted from Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago's 2004 novel "The Double" about the power of the subconscious.
"Enemy" opens March 14 in limited release and March 21 in Los Angeles.

Staff report
Students in Eileen Bacha's Honors English 11 class at Cardinal Mooney High School have initiated a campaign to alert their classmates to the dangers of texting while driving.
The weeklong effort started with two assemblies.
Speakers at the assemblies included Tina Yanssens, whose father was struck and killed by a texting driver while walking in southern Mahoning County.
She alerted students to the impact of their actions should they choose to text and drive — not only to themselves but also to their families and the families of their victims.
Judge Theresa Dellick of Mahoning County Juvenile Court and Diane Vettori of Mahoning County Area Court along with representatives of the Ohio Highway Patrol explained the legal ramifications and the process that they will encounter should they choose to text while behind the wheel.
The second element of the "One Text One Life" campaign was a weeklong effort encouraging students to sign a nontexting pledge.
Sounds like a good common sense program to teach the kids to drive first and text later. All driver age students should have to attend such a program. Hope other school districts have similar assemblies-this really could save lives and improve drivers abilities to pay attention to traffic.

So basically, I need to parse the auth token (X-Auth-Token) as well as the storage URL (X-Storage-Url) and build the next command dynamically.
Is there a way to do that with a shell script, perhaps using regular expressions or something? Any pointers would be much appreciated!
