Two chemistry faculty receive 2017 Chancellor's Innovation Funds to commercialize research discoveries
Dr. Reza Ghiladi and Dr. Gavin Williams have each received Chancellor's Innovation Funds to help commercialize technology developed in their labs. In total, seven CIF awards were made after a lengthy and rigorous selection process that culminated in an innovators pitch to a panel of investors and venture capitalists. Ghiladi, along with collaborators and co-inventors Dimitris Argyropoulos (Department of Forest Biomaterials) and Frank Scholle (Department of Biological Sciences) will develop novel anti-infective coatings that are activated by light. Williams will turn E. coli into antibiotic-producing factories by using synthetic biology.

Castaneda, Vinson outline priorities
October 2, 2008
Castaneda said his priorities if re-elected are redeveloping the bayfront, working to get a four-year university in the South Bay, figuring out how to redevelop Chula Vista with projects that residents and developers agree on and moving Chula Vista away from its financial dependence on the housing market.
After a massive home-building boom, Chula Vista ended up with one of the highest foreclosure rates on single-family homes in the county.
"We can't build ourselves out of an economic crisis," Castaneda said.
Vinson, a political newcomer, says voters should choose him because he has never been indicted, has raised a family here and has been a successful businessman.
Castaneda was acquitted in April of perjury charges stemming from an investigation into allegations that he used his council position to receive free rent or the promise of reduced rent on a condominium from a developer who owns prime property in the city.
Vinson said his priorities include maintaining a balanced city budget and not overspending, which he blames on the incumbents. Mayor Cheryl Cox, who has endorsed Vinson, used the same arguments during her 2006 campaign.
"You can't blame everything on the economy," Vinson said, adding that the city has "blown through $20 million in reserves," which was the fundamental theme Cox hammered in her mayoral campaign.
Vinson did not specify what spending he would cut, but said he would analyze the budget if elected.
Like Castaneda, who has been endorsed by the police and firefighters associations, Vinson believes in creating new jobs for Chula Vista.
"We've got to go out there and see what companies are flourishing and get the city to go after those companies," he said. "Instead, we're increasing (business license) fees and making it more difficult."
Recently the city approved conducting annual fire inspections as part of business licensing fees, which previously had been collected when there was time to inspect. The fire inspection fee is $105 a year.
Castaneda proposes using vacant land or parcels that cannot be built on to generate solar and wind energy, which would attract businesses.
"Builders of these systems will go where these demands are and I want to create that demand in Chula Vista," he said. "We have 80 acres at the landfill and we ought to be generating electricity. The Otay Water District has a lot of land you can't build on. Why not generate wind energy there?"
Castaneda worked on energy issues during his first two years on the council. He said his efforts stalled when Cox was elected mayor.
Castaneda and Vinson were the top two vote-getters in Chula Vista's June primary. Each council seat is an at-large position representing the entire city.
Vinson, who was born and raised in Alabama, moved to Chula Vista after serving in the Navy and living for five years in the Philippines, where he met his wife, Carmelita. They have three children.
Castaneda was born and raised in the San Diego area and moved to Chula Vista in 1991. He has a 15-year-old son. He comes from a family that has been in the San Diego area for generations. Castaneda recently changed his political affiliation from the Republican to the Democratic Party.
In April, Vinson said he would not criticize Castaneda about his legal troubles, but recently he has appeared at City Hall with a huge check in the amount of $194,000 – Castaneda's legal fees – asking for the money to be returned.
After Castaneda was acquitted in April, Vinson said he would not belabor the issue, saying "I think it's over with, I think the judicial system did their job and I think we need to move on now."
Yet Vinson's campaign platforms talk of getting rid of self-serving politicians and special interests, which he said last week is Castaneda.
Castaneda said if Vinson feels so strongly about advocating for the taxpayers, he should join him and Councilman Rudy Ramirez, who are in favor of asking the District Attorney's Office to reimburse the city for the fees.
"I understand and appreciate and respect and would never disparage his right to fight for the taxpayers of Chula Vista," Castaneda said.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I must first of all admit that this rip-off report is only in relation to roughly $1.50 being stolen by an employee at this station. However, I feel that the principle at hand is more important the monetary aspect of the matter. I would gladly have paid 20 dollars just to have avoided this level of beligerence, unkindness, dishonest, and thievery.
I do not know the employee's name. He was short, had a dark complexion and short hair. He has been working there for awhile, and I recall him specifically as he once also spent 3 minutes trying to tell me that I had no change due in gas when I clearly had put in 40 dollars and spent 26.
What transpired is that I went there to purchase two bottles of water, and 3 packs of camel lights. I was purchasing 3 because they run a deal where 3 packs of camel lights are $3.44 as opposed to the more typical price of roughly 4 dollars.
When he rang me up, I did not notice that he was only ringing up 2 packs of cigarettes. When he went to put them in the bag I said softly and politely "I apologize, sir, but I asked for 3 packs of camel lights." I didn't think anything of it as employees there have made this mistake before. In fact, this particular employee has nearly every time I have gone there. However, what I didn't notice due to the fact that I had worked an 11 hour day and was a wee bit tired was that he did not void the previous sale as they typically do. He merely made another one.
The 3rd pack came to $4.05. I gave him $5.10, so that I would get a full dollar back which is exactly what I got. He shorted me on one nickel at that point. It's a nickel, and I figured that he thought I was doing the logical thing and giving him a nickel, so I didn't really read to much into it nor did I say anything. The employee did not give me a receipt for either of the purchases.
After the second purchase was made, I did notice that I was being shorted. I politely told him that since I purchases three packs of cigarettes, I should have got the deal. His response was to tell me he didn't know what I was talking about. I then pointed at the sign indicating $3.44 per pack when bought in 3's. He told me that I made two seperate purchases, so this didn't apply.
I told him that this was erroneous because this happened due to his mistake. He told me that I said two packs of camel lights. I responded that I quite clearly said 3 packs of camel lights and he said "you said camels so I gave you two packs" This made no logical sense given that merely saying camels would be unspecified or mean 1 to anyone attempting to accurately interpret the information provided. I told him that I said 3, and that he made the mistake and I should not suffer the consequences. He then got angry and told me that I would need to talk to the manager who did not happen to be there, but would be there tomorrow. I told him that making a seperate trip to see a manager over mere change was stupid, and that I have been going there at least twice a week for 4 years. I told him to please give me money due. He said "I do not want to."
I told him that he made a mistake. I said "you did not give me what I asked for, and consequently a second purchase took place. You made a mistake, and I should not have to suffer the consequences." I then told him that I wanted all of my money back, and that I would go purchase cigarettes somewhere else as a good deal wasn't worth dealing with this. He said that he would not give me a refund. I asked why and he said "because I don't want to." I asked him why and he said "because my register is short." Nevermind the fact that he obviously had whatever I gave him, so there would have been no issue with giving me the funds back.
We went back and forth a couple of times to the bemusement of my fellow patrons. I realized that I was getting nowhere. I then did something that was an inappropriate reponse to an inappropriate action. I made a remark punctuated by a four letter word referring to his lack of intelligence, a remark referring to a certain body part as a description of his attitude, and then made a suggestion as to what he could do to himself. I then started to walk out. My walk out of the store was interrupted by security telling me that I had to leave while the employee telling me to come back tomorrow. I told the employee that I would never be coming back there, and the security guard told me not to come back to the store ever. I'm not sure why this security guard felt the need to emphasize my statements of act by reiterating them as commands.
While walking out I told the security guard that the man had ripped me off, but that I understood that he was doing his job. By this point I was already out the door. The security seemed as if he may have agreed with my take given the expression on his face, but I could be entirely wrong. In my younger years when I did customer service related work I tended to side with my co-workers to whatever extent was morally permissible. The security guard did then watch me get into my car as if I was a security threat for quoting d**k Cheney and so forth. While he was doing so I gesticulated towards myself and my open car door and made a shrugging motion to indicate my annoyance that he really thought that I was dumb enough to try to bumrush the store out of anger.
I do not know if it is worth it go back and speak to the manager as a manager who cares about his employees typically should side with them regardless of what transpires unless presented with blindingly obvious evidence. Furthermore, since I've technically been banned and told to go back and speak to the manager, I'm not sure if I'm even able to. If the manager is who I think he is, he would recognize me in person. However, the employee and security guard could be there instead.
It's a shame. The shaven headed gentleman who I believe is the or a manager is always extremely considerate and never fails to tell me if there is a better deal than what I am getting. I know this is technically upselling as I'm buying more at that point, but it's still appreciated. Another woman who was a manager, but I haven't seen for awhile used to specifically stock unpopular brands of cigarettes even though I was the only person buying them. Another extremely kind and considerate woman with curly hair would actually notice when I was buying a different brand of something than usual and remark on it. These are small things, and they don't really matter. However, it was nice to go to a place where people knew who I was. Furthermore, it was an ideal location.
However, while $1.50 is barely noteworthy and I will probably spend $15.00 dollars just driving out of my way to get gas elsewhere in the next few months, I can not go back there in good conscious while the employee is still working there. I was belittled and ripped off. I find myself thinking that the reason that he always tried to ring up two is because he's got some kind of thing going where he jacks the people who don't notice, voids their purchases after the leave, and then rings up their cigarettes properly so that he can pocket the difference. In fact, I have often had to wait when going in there because he's doing something with the register that takes awhile. No other employees seem to have this problem. I know it sounds like paranoia, but at the same time, doing this 3 times an hour would net him an extra $4.50 an hour which would be a fine supplemtary tax free income.
I may try to come in or call a manager. I may call the corporate office. If I'm lucky, the corporate office might give me a gift certificate that I won't feel comfortable spending there. I know it's only $1.50. I've already spent far more time dealing with this than it's worth. However, I'd like to warn people off. If this guy already ripped me off once, seemingly tried to rip me off another time with the gas and so forth, who knows what kind of scams he is pulling? Hopefully he eventually messes with enough people to lose his job, so that I can once again deal with the other employees who all rate five stars.

After strained communication in a unprofessional manner on the part of Bruno Krause they received a check for $4,000. Roughly two weeks later they began the job.
Two men worked for the most three days totalling about $2,000-$2,500. They scratched 20 feet of majestic blue awl-grip paint 20ft of a 58 foot hole resulting of the port side which needs to be repainted. $15.000 In Damage!!
Bruno Krause denined that the workers did the damage. I have five boat owner neighbors as witnesses when the damage was done. I made several phone calls which were ignored that day to try and show him the damage and get it rectified. After giving his workers back all the supplies and tools,and not allowing them back on the boat until contact was made to Bruno Krause his workers called him and he finally called me back. At which point he proceeded to yell and scream at me.
He held back some expensive parts and still wanted $1,100 more before he would release them.

Cook's Resource: Simply in Season Produce Guide
More-with-Less, with its emphasis on African and Asian cooking and whole grains in other ethnic contexts, was also our earliest introduction to food outside of the stereotypical American food groups.
Lately we have been turning again to More-with-Less, but this time it's on the web, and it's helping us to eat seasonally.
Simply in Season is a web resource companion to some of the More-with-Less printed materials. It has a long list of fruits and vegetables and some key points on when they are in season, and how to use them.
They follow the garden seasons common through most of North America, and we've found this a very helpful introductory resource as we try to eat more seasonally and locally.
They also have a weekly recipe that highlights a seasonal vegetable.

Brecht and Weill turned to John Gay's 18th-century 'The Beggar's Opera' to fashion this savage, biting commentary on bourgeois capitalism and modern morality. Set in Victorian London, the bitter tale is told of the predatory outlaw known as Mack the Knife. He secretly marries the daughter of Soho's underworld boss, but is soon betrayed by his sinister in-laws and sent to prison. After being freed by the police chief's daughter, he is again betrayed- this time by a prostitute-and sentenced to death. At the final hour he manages a reprieve from Queen Victoria herself, thus providing a menacing finale of ferocious irony.Book and Lyrics by Bertolt Brecht; Music by Kurt Weill; English adaptation by Marc Blitzstein

Why does opportunity knock for some, while others can't catch a break? And where's the line between kindness and selfishness? Those questions loom large in this thought-provoking play about two teenage sweethearts who reconnect after 30 years. Mike is a doctor with a lovely home in an upscale neighborhood, and Margaret is an out of work single mom whose teen pregnancy led to dropping out of high school, and scraping by ever since. Their common humble roots and now radically different lives spark a fascinating, funny, and honest exploration of the ways in which class, race, luck, goodness, and the choices that we make can shape our lives.

Finding files with grep
Grokking Grep
Once you understand the intricacies of grep, you can find just about anything.
Finding files has always been a priority in computing. Now, with hard drives of three or more terabytes becoming the norm, finding files is more important than ever. Yet, of all the commands developed to perform this task, few can match for sheer power one of the oldest solutions of all: grep and its family of related commands. For almost 40 years now, grep has been a standard command on Unixlike systems for searching text files for lines that match a certain pattern, and its usefulness shows no signs of disappearing.

When test flight has been ended by pilot's landing not on the native planet - Gaia - but on the remote planet of Energon, which placed in the same planetary system, the major designer has get a whistle and said: "Well, guys, we've made a real Hell Hound." Since that moment these interceptors has received their present name.
Engines: Three chemical fuel-based engines.
Crew: One human
Weaponry [hasn't been showed on current screenshots, but LXF-model has it]: Blasters on the wings and hull, plus laser gun on the top.
Gadjets: Has been equipped with the same system of energy assignment as Shark Hovertank has and also by powerful radar system. Has additional fuel tank, plus life support system directly in the cockpit.

Shaw: Golovkin Knocks Out Cotto, Should Stay Away
By Keith Idec
NEW YORK – After watching Gennady Golovkin demolish Daniel Geale on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, Gary Shaw offered Miguel Cotto a bit of gratuitous advice.
If Shaw were Cotto's promoter, he'd steer the Puerto Rican icon as far away from Golovkin as possible.
"He knocks Cotto out," said Shaw, who promotes Australia's Geale (30-3, 16 KOs). "Cotto's got a style that's made for Golovkin. Cotto's going to stand there and trade with him. I have a lot of respect for Cotto. He's had a great career. But Golovkin is just on another level."
Cotto, fresh off a domination of onetime undisputed middleweight champ Sergio Martinez that rejuvenated his Hall-of-Fame career, is expected to return to the ring Dec. 13 at Madison Square Garden. Opponents have barely been discussed yet, but sources close to Cotto are certain he won't fight Golovkin next.
A middleweight championship unification bout between the 33-year-old Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs), who holds the WBC 160-pound title, and the 32-year-old Golovkin, the IBO/WBA champion, likely would sell out 21,000-seat Madison Square Garden rather quickly.
The Cotto-Martinez match, Cotto's ninth main event at Madison Square Garden since June 2005, drew a capacity crowd of 21,090 on June 7. The card headlined by Golovkin-Geale, which Golovkin won by third-round knockout, marked Golovkin's first fight in the Garden's main arena and drew a respectable announced crowd of 8,572.
Keith Idec covers boxing for The Record and Herald News, of Woodland Park, N.J., and BoxingScene.com. He can be reached on Twitter @Idecboxing.

Girls of all ages had the chance to compete in a pageant Saturday afternoon.
The Miss Southern Belle Pageant was held at Meridian's Quality Inn.
Sharon Howard is the Director of the Miss Southern Belle Pageant. She used to compete in pageants and her daughter did as well. They both found that pageants helped them with their self confidence.
"For us it builds confidence, self-esteem, it helps you do public speaking because when you're in a pageant you always have an onstage question and you have to think on the spur of the moment when that question pops up. A lot of times your mind goes blank, but you have to pursue through that," explains Howard.
Roughly twenty girls competed in the pageant in various age groups.

Skill Level Intermediate
One of the classic PowerPoint techniques is to play a sound as you move from slide to slide. These transitions sound effects however are also one of the most abused. Let's take a look at how to add effective and appropriate sounds to your transitions. Click on your first slide and then click on the Transitions tab. In the center are a series of transition effects. Use the More button so that you can see the entire gallery. I'm going to choose Honeycomb, because it reminds of bees and this is a presentation about flowers. Whenever possible, try and find a transition effect reminiscent of your content.
When I looked at that preview though the transition took really a long time. I'm going to go up to the right-hand and shorten the duration from 4.4 to 1.5. I'll go back to the left-hand side of the ribbon and click the Preview button. That looks a lot better to me. Next, let's add the sound effect. Just above the Duration on the right-hand side is a button for Sound. Click on the dropdown and a list of built-in sounds appear. I'll choose Breeze mostly because bees fly, but also because it's not as jarring as some of the other sounds.
Again, it's important to pick a relevance sound effect that's not going to annoy your audience. But look at the bottom of the list. There's the option Other Sound. This will allow you import your own wave files sound effect. I definitely see just keeping the clip short, approximately of the desired length of your transition. Otherwise, you'll arrive on your slide and have to wait for the sound to finish every time. Click on Other Sound and a Windows dialog box appears. Navigate to your desired wave file. I have a bee buzz that will work well with my Honeycomb.
Click on it and click OK. (Bzzzzzz) Now I've created my own transition sound. Now look back on that menu again. At the very bottom there's an option to Loop until the Next Sound. If I selected this, the transition sound wouldn't stop. My bee will keep buzzing and buzzing and buzzing until I get to the next slide. Even if I had an audio clip on this slide, it won't stop the transition sound. Only choose this option if you have a specific purpose in mind or that sound will continue indefinitely.
Along the same lines at the top of the list is an option to Stop the Previous Sound. This again only applies to transition sounds. So if your transition sound is too long, you can use this command on the following slide to cut it off when you get there. I'll go back to bee.wav. Now once you've chosen your transition sound effect, you can see there is a little shooting star next to your thumbnail. Notice that's been only set for this one slide that we are on. If I want the same sound for every transition, click on the Apply to All button underneath the sound and duration.
Once I click it, that little star appears on all my slides. Now let's play our slideshow. (Bzzzzzz) Hansel and Petal now has bees buzzing through a honeycomb. Again, I can't emphasize enough to be intentional when designing your slide transitions. Your visual and audio effects must be relevant to your content, stylistically attractive, and not annoying to your audience, especially if you use them on every slide.

Have you ever shopped at Current? Current is a wonderful place to stock up on greeting cards, wrapping paper, holiday decor and more. Everything is priced reasonably all the time, but Current always has great sales which makes everything even cheaper! A few years back, I spent about $15 at Current and got dozens of birthday cards to use for my kids to take to their friends and to mail out to friends and family – we still have quite a few left and it has been so much cheaper than spending $2 or $3 per card at the grocery store!
(Just FYI: Current is constantly offering Buy One, Get One Free sales. Just note that you only have to add one of these items to your "cart" and they will automatically send you two. If you put 2 in your cart, you will be charged for 2 and receive 4 of that product!)
Right now, Current has a lot of Halloween stuff on sale, and here are some of my favorites:
I love this idea! You can get a set of 72 face stickers to use to decorate pumpkins with for only $1.99!

EXAMINING THE VOTE: THE OVERVIEW; Study of Disputed Florida Ballots Finds Justices Did Not Cast the Deciding Vote
Published: November 12, 2001
(Page 2 of 3)
In a finding rich with irony, the results show that even if Mr. Gore had succeeded in his effort to force recounts of undervotes in the four Democratic counties, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Volusia, he still would have lost, although by 225 votes rather than 537. An approach Mr. Gore and his lawyers rejected as impractical -- a statewide recount -- could have produced enough votes to tilt the election his way, no matter what standard was chosen to judge voter intent.
Another complicating factor in the effort to untangle the result is the overseas absentee ballots that arrived after Election Day. A New York Times investigation earlier this year showed that 680 of the late-arriving ballots did not meet Florida's standards yet were still counted. The vast majority of those flawed ballots were accepted in counties that favored Mr. Bush, after an aggressive effort by Bush strategists to pressure officials to accept them.
A statistical analysis conducted for The Times determined that if all counties had followed state law in reviewing the absentee ballots, Mr. Gore would have picked up as many as 290 additional votes, enough to tip the election in Mr. Gore's favor in some of the situations studied in the statewide ballot review.
But Mr. Gore chose not to challenge these ballots because many were from members of the military overseas, and Mr. Gore did not want to be accused of seeking to invalidate votes of men and women in uniform.
Democrats invested heavily in get-out-the-vote programs across Florida, particularly among minorities, recent immigrants and retirees from the Northeast. But their efforts were foiled by confusing ballot designs in crucial counties that resulted in tens of thousands of Democratic voters spoiling their ballots. More than 150,000 of those spoiled ballots did not show evidence of voter intent even after independent observers closely examined them and the most inclusive definition of what constituted a valid vote was applied.
The majority of those ballots were spoiled because multiple choices were made for president, often, apparently, because voters were confused by the ballots. All were invalidated by county election officials and were excluded from the consortium count because there was no clear proof of voter intent, unless there were other clear signs of the voter's choice, like a matching name on the line for a write-in candidate.
In Duval County, for example, 20 percent of the ballots from African-American areas that went heavily for Mr. Gore were thrown out because voters followed instructions to mark a vote on every page of the ballot. In 62 precincts with black majorities in Duval County alone, nearly 3,000 people voted for Mr. Gore and a candidate whose name appeared on the second page of the ballot, thus spoiling their votes.
In Palm Beach County, 5,310 people, most of them probably confused by the infamous butterfly ballot, voted for Mr. Gore and Patrick J. Buchanan. The confusion affected Bush voters as well, but only 2,600 voted for Mr. Bush and another candidate.
The media consortium included The Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Tribune Company, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, The St. Petersburg Times, The Palm Beach Post and CNN. The group hired the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago in January to examine the ballots. The research group employed teams of three workers they called coders to examine each undervoted ballot and mark down what they saw in detail. Three coders provided a bulwark against inaccuracy or bias in the coding. For overvotes, one coder was used because there was seldom disagreement among examiners in a trial run using three coders.
The data produced by the ballot review allows scrutiny of the disputed Florida vote under a large number of situations and using a variety of different standards that might have applied in a hand recount, including the appearance of a dimple, a chad dangling by one or more corners and a cleanly punched card.
The difficulty of perceiving dimples or detached chads can be measured by the number of coders who saw them, but most of the ballot counts here are based on what a simple majority -- two out of three coders -- recorded.
The different standards mostly involved competing notions of what expresses voter intent on a punch card. The 29,974 ballots using optical scanning equipment were mostly interpreted using a single standard -- any unambiguous mark, whether a circle or a scribble or an X, on or near the candidate name was considered evidence of voter intent.
If all the ballots had been reviewed under any of seven single standards, and combined with the results of an examination of overvotes, Mr. Gore would have won, by a very narrow margin. For example, using the most permissive ''dimpled chad'' standard, nearly 25,000 additional votes would have been reaped, yielding 644 net new votes for Mr. Gore and giving him a 107-vote victory margin.
But the dimple standard was also the subject of the most disagreement among coders, and Mr. Bush fought the use of this standard in recounts in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. Many dimples were so light that only one coder saw them, and hundreds that were seen by two were not seen by three. In fact, counting dimples that three people saw would have given Mr. Gore a net of just 318 additional votes and kept Mr. Bush in the lead by 219.

The Zack Arias OneLight Accessory Kit by B&H contains all the accessories you need to support and maximize the performance of your flash or hot light; all you need to do is add the light.
The foundation of the kit is a sturdy light stand which has the ideal weight and footprint to handle the kit's 60" umbrella with black backing. It's a great size for fashion or full length portraiture. Use in the classic bounce mode or take the black backing off and pump the light through it like a softbox for a crisper look. An umbrella bracket is included to mount the light and the umbrella on the stand.
The Impact Umbrella Bracket with Adjustable Shoe is a versatile, lightweight metal bracket that will fit on almost any light stand. It includes a removable, reversible female stud to adapt to light stands with top studs smaller than the standard 5/8". An additional removable, reversible male stud mounts to the included flash shoe at the 1/4"-20 end, or to another accessory at the 3/8" end. The metal shoe features a knurled locking knob for secure mounting of all standard shoe-mount flashes, including the Nikon SB-900 and SB-910.
A receptacle with its own locking knob accommodates an umbrella which may be tilted to the angle of your choice via the bracket's locking joint. Umbrellas larger than 45" in diameter are not recommended.
This 9.6' Impact Air-Cushioned Heavy Duty Light Stand is heavy duty, black aluminum, with sure-twist section locks and air cushioning.
Air cushioning gently lowers the light, preventing damage to light fixtures and fingers when section locks have not been properly tightened.
This is an Impact 60" white satin umbrella with removable black backing. Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any flash light source. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and weaken light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. A white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a softbox.
Choosing umbrella size is determined by the size of the subject, and the strength of the light supply being used. Choosing an umbrella surface is as subjective as choosing a paint and brush.
This size is perfect for a 1 - 2 person full-length portrait, or a 4x6 ft product setup.

Man Saved Before Gas Pump Explodes
Posted June 13th, 2014 @ 6:29am
With a burning gas pump about to explode just a feet away, video captured the heroic rescue of a driver by an off-duty New York State police officer.
John Vescio instinctively ran when he saw the gas pump he was using had erupted into flames after a car barreled into it.
Vescio returned and fought through the fire to pull the motorist -- who had blacked out prior to the crash -- to safety just moments before the pump exploded

How to Unlock Your Child's Academic Potential {TIME Ideas via Janet Lansbury}
We've been slacking in the reading department. We've always slacked in the talking department (thanks to doing the bilingual thing, I'm not quick to speak my native language, not yet anyway.) Other suggestions, choose a preschool affiliate with NAEYC (check!), limit TV and screen time (oops, need to work on that desperately) and list three positives for every correction.
10 Ways to Guide Children — Without Punishment {Aha! Parenting.com}
Here are some of her suggestions: Time-out, no; time-in, yes. Hug. Connect before correction. Set limits. Honor feelings. Regulate your own feelings.
Building a Positive Self-Concept {Positive Parenting}
Good reminders on how to help develop a strong self-concept in early childhood. She also gives some examples on how to promote encouragement and positive thinking.
The Benefits of Bilingualism {NYTimes.com via German World}
There is no doubt in my mind that bilingualism is beneficial for my daughter. The thing that I'm most worried about is the next few years. The language interference and delayed speech but then after that, she will be ahead of the game!!
Tiger Moms and Other Food for Thought {Connected Mom}
Interesting review of the book The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. The kicker was a
song rap link found in the comments, very funny, especially because I played the violin and the piano and desperately want my daughter to follow suit.
Looking for Patterns {Crafting My Life}
This post just spoke to me– about looking for the positive patterns in life, instead of the patterns that spot what's wrong.
'Childish' Nation: Does America Hate Kids? {TIME Ideas via Aha! Parenting.com}
Interesting explanation and theories about childism: academic ideas.
Forcing Your Child Onto a Stranger's Lap {Positive Parenting}
A new view of sitting on the Easter Bunny's (or Santa's) lap.
Easy Baking Soda Freshener- Tutorial {Smashed Peas and Carrots}
I'd like to try this for our basement when it gets finished. Seriously all you need: Mason jar, scrapbook paper (with poked holes), 1/2 cup baking soda, and 8-12 drops of essential oil (just saw some at Hobby Lobby over the weekend!) Small hint from Maggie… cinnamon for bathrooms and lavender for bedrooms.
Planting a Rainbow {I Heart Crafty Things}
Elaborate idea (for my, anyway) for a centerpiece/decoration using painted plastic fruit cups, pom poms, painted craft sticks, construction paper and painted egg carton, to make a colorful planter of flowers!
Eier mit Augen [Easter eggs with googly eyes] {Living at Home.de via Pinterest}
This short description is written in German, but I think it's rather self-explanatory.😉
Activities for toddlers:
Spring has Sprung! Activities for 10 Books {The Princess and the Tot}
Butterflies, grapes, sound matching with plastic eggs and journal ideas.
Go on a Smile Hunt with Your Child {Living Montessori Now}
Deb is a part of a fun project to record smiley faces in objects and people. She suggests ways to extend the project in educational ways. They are raising money for Operation Smile.

Interactive book activity with seeds then an idea for planting them afterward.

Our bodies are designed to absorb nutrients from food, so mealtime is the best time to take multivitamins, according to nutrition experts at Tufts University. You'll also be more likely to remember to take them if you do so with the same meal each day.

I applied for a role of health care assistant on gumtree, with a promise of pay between 9-15/hr about less than a week later I get a call about it from this guy called Dean Rogers (extremely obese Asian guy his email is firstname.lastname@example.com) he said they interested in me job pays 13 and suprise is around where I live. Then asked if I had valid certificates I said yes there only 4 months old, he said no, I would need to do one with them and need to pay deposit to show I'm serious 40 which is odd as the certificates are valid for a year. I was reluctant but he pressured me and said cant pay at the moment, will call later.
I went home looked into the company, had my doubts ad alarm bells should have been ringing. I discovered the Company had only recently been registered, the owner seemed young according to the info and company's registered address is 3rd floor 207 regent street, W1B 3HH which after looking into gave me impression it was a p.o box and not a physical address another alarm bell. Only a few minutes ago have I discovered that, that address is used my many companies and the company in charge provides a virtual offices so business look legit with a prestigious address in central London to throw people off. Provides services like, mail forwarding, central London phone number, call answering in your company name etc.
Anyways I went to the training which was at a completely different address in East London which seemed a bit odd. The address 6th Floor 28-42 Clements Road, Ilford, London (east) IG1 1BA. I received the training on the day along with group of people about 12 in total. The training was for CPR ad manual handling. At the end we received certificates which looked abit suspicious as didn't have any indications indications they were endorsed by other organisations. When questioned just said would get those ones in the post.
Anyways, we were promised interviews which said had been booked with this mysterious private client the following week but haven't heard from them they don't answer the phone, emails etc. parted with 250. I also discovered another company AGE MEDICAL also complained about by people on this site does exact same thing. They also contacted me but didn't fall for it. I just wanted to warn people so they don't fall foul to these corn artists like I did.

Hi there,
would anyone with programming background have a look at this plugin:
It offers Stripe Integration for WordPress and it looks like it might work in conjunction with S2Member.
Like many of you, I too have been waiting for over two years for S2Member to offer Stripe integration, but, seeing as it doesn't look like it'll be happening, I hope that this plugin can do the job.
What are your thoughts? Would S2Member and Stripe Payment Terminal WordPress work together? I don't see why they shouldn't, but I am not a programmer.
If Stripe Payment Terminal WordPress takes payments and deals with renewals, refunds, cancellations etc, then all S2Member needs to do is protect content. Right?
Fingers crossed,
