Dimulakan dengan contoh sehari-hari, dan diselang seli dengan sinisnya kegilaan kita dengan undang-undang hakcipta sekarang.
"By the end of the day, John has infringed the copyrights of twenty emails, three legal articles, an architectural rendering, a poem, five photographs, an animated character, a musical composition, a painting, and fifty notes and drawings. All told, he has committed at least eighty-three acts of infringement and faces liability in the amount of $12.45 million (to say nothing of potential criminal charges). There is nothing particularly extraordinary about John's activities. Yet if copyright holders were inclined to enforce their rights to the maximum extent allowed by law, he would be indisputably liable for a mind-boggling $4.544 billion in potential damages each year. And, surprisingly, he has not even committed a single act of infringement through P2P file sharing. Such an outcome flies in the face of our basic sense of justice. Indeed, one must either irrationally conclude that John is a criminal infringer -- a veritable grand larcenist -- or blithely surmise that copyright law must not mean what it appears to say. Something is clearly amiss. Moreover, the troublesome gap between copyright law and norms has grown only wider in recent years."

make with me {Love Pillow}
As much as I heart my JOY pillow, it no longer 'tis the season. Inspiration struck this weekend, centering around an idea to make the word "LOVE" with a combination of applique and embroidery. Only the "O" will be embroidered, so this is perfect for those of you who said you want to learn embroidery this year. I'll use just one stitch (the bestest and most useful "backstitch") and I promise to walk you through it step-by-step.
Getting Started
First off, do you have a pillow form? I have one that measures 18" square. I'd like a plump pillow, so I'll be making my pillow cover to finish at 17", which is 1" smaller than the pillow form. If you like a really firm pillow, have your cover finish 2" smaller than the pillow form. We'll stitch the front and back together with a 1/2" seam, so your pillow will finish 1" smaller than you cut.
If you don't have a form, here in the US an 18" square pillow is an easy-to-find standard size. You'll see that the design is so simple that you could easily make a much larger pillow too.
* 1/2 yard or 2 fat quarters - a red print or solid. I'm using Woodcut in Passion from Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush (available here and here). If your pillow form is larger than mine, you'll need more fabric!
* medium scrap of linen or white solid. I'm using Essex Linen/Cotton in natural (available here). For this project, I preferred Essex' pale "natural" to the browner "natural" of most 100% linens. It looked fresher with the vibrant red.
* Pinking blade for rotary cutter or pinking sheers
* 3 coordinating scraps for letters.
* embroidery floss. I anticipate using black, red and pink.
* 1/2 yard batting. The batting will back the main red fabric for your pillow front and back. If your pillow form is larger than mind, you'll need more batting!
* invisible zipper. Choose one that blends in with your main red fabric, if possible. It should be approximately 1-2" smaller than your finished goal (my pillow will finish at 17", so a 15-16" zipper would be perfect). It is truly EASY to shorten a zipper. So just buy a bigger one if necessary. Make sure it says "invisible" zipper.
To begin with, cut your main red fabric to the appropriate size for the pillow front and back, calculating a 1/2" seam. For example, if you want a 19" square finish, cut two 20" squares.
I desire a 17" finish, so I should cut two18" squares. Unfortunately, after prewashing and squaring up my fat quarters, they only measured 17.5" square. A 16.5" finish it is!
Now cut 2 battings at the same size as your main red fabric (2 battings at 17.5" square for me).
Fitting your rotary cutter with a pinking blade or using pinking sheers, cut the white or linen scrap into a rectangle patch. I cut mine 9 1/2 x 5 3/4". If your pillow is a different size than mine, just choose a size for your linen scrap that seems to balance the proportions of your pillow. If you're not sure, start with a bigger size. You can always trim down your patch. To preview the look, lay your pillow front fabric on the pillow form, lay the patch and step back to take a look.
When cutting with a pinking blade in your rotary cutter, be sure to press firmly. You don't want to have to do a second pass with the rotary blade as it will mess up the pinking!
At this point, I played with my fabric scraps to find 3 prints for the letters L, V and E. Placing the scraps on my linen patch helped me confirm the right size for my patch. I needed more room than I thought!
Baste the battings to your pillow back and front. You could use basting pins or basting spray. I decided to be thrifty and save my basting spray for larger projects.
Quilt pillow back and front with irregularly spaced straight lines. I randomly alternated lines spaced at a generous 1/4" and 1/2". The Woodcut print made this much to easy. I just quilted along the lines in the background, skipping either 1 or 2 lines as I went! The finished texture is lovely and will contrast well with the smooth linen patch.
OK, that's all for now today. I'll be back towards the end of this week with directions for letter applique and embroidery!

So cute! This is the first sew along I've been tempted by in a long, long time! Just off to root around in my fabric stash now!ReplyDelete
This is going to be really cute. Really. I mean, you are using Henna Garden scraps, my all-time FAVORITE fabric design!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful website. Loads and loads of color stitched beautifully together. Thanks for the opportunity to share.ReplyDelete
Hi, Rachel! Can't wait to see the rest of the tutorial!! And FYI, Rave hairspray makes a great (and cheap!) substitute for basting spray for small projects. It doesn't work well on larger projects, because it isn't repositionable and doesn't do well if you have to roll your sandwich but it's great for small things like pillow tops and mugrugs!ReplyDelete
Okay, this has nothing to do with your pillow, but I just had to say that when I first read the title of your post I could have sworn it said, "Make love with me pillow" and I about choked on my coffee. I thought I'd accidentally subscribed to a VERY different kind of blog. :)ReplyDelete
Jenn - I am STILL laughing!ReplyDelete

Published: April 17, 1987
Vice Adm. Francis C. Denebrink, a Navy veteran of both World Wars and of the Korean War, in which he was responsible for the logistic support of all United States naval forces, died April 8 at Letterman Army General Hospital in San Francisco. He was 90 years old.
In World War II, Admiral Denebrink, in command of the cruiser Brooklyn, which was on the scene when the American transport Wakefield, formerly the passenger liner Manhattan, caught fire Sept. 3, 1942, on her way from Europe to New York. He directed the rescue of all 1,500 men aboard the burning ship.
In World War I he served on the destroyer Warrington, based at Queenstown, Ireland, and Brest, France. For 12 years after the war he alternated between sea and land duty.
In 1922 and 1923 he was aide to the Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. From 1926 to 1928, Admiral Denebrink was in charge of the Navy's press section. He was also a Naval aide at the White House in the Coolidge Administration.
From 1936 to 1939 he was head of the navigation department at the Naval Academy. His service in 1940 and 1941 as executive officer of the Brooklyn was interrupted by a brief tour of duty with the Office of Strategic Services and as an aide to the Chief of Naval Operations. Promoted to Rear Admiral in 1944
In 1943 he became chief of staff to the Commander of the Fleet Operational Training Command of the Atlantic Fleet. With his promotion to rear admiral in 1944, he was transferred to the Pacific Fleet as commander of the Fleet Operational Command. He also commanded a cruiser division in the Aleutians and was commander of the Naval forces participating in the American occupation of Japan.
In 1955 Admiral Denebrink was put in command of supplying the Distant Early Warning Line, a system of radar defenses jointly controlled by the United States and Canada, often referred to as the Dewline. He was in charge of a task force of 126 Navy, Coast Guard and merchant vessels that converged in the Arctic Ocean to supply depots along a 1,500-mile-stretch from Alaska to Greenland.
He retired in 1956 and had lived since then in San Francisco.
Admiral Denebrink was born in Chicago and was reared in Sheridan, Wyo., and Long Beach, Calif. He was a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and of the Naval War College.
He was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, three Legions of Merit and the Navy Marine Corps Medal.
His wife, the former Fanny McCook, died in 1977. He is survived by a daughter, Joyce Denebrink, who lives in Manhattan.
Burial will take place 3 P.M. Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va.

Book DescriptionWitty, irreverent tales of war and the supernatural from the maverick misanthrope of American literature. Questing after Pancho Villa's revolutionary forces, Ambose Bierce rode into Mexico in 1913 and completely vanished off the face of the earth. Though his ultimate fate remains a mystery to this day, Bierce's contribution to American letters rests firmly on the basis of his incomparable Devil's Dictionary and a remarkable body of short fiction. This new collection gatherssome three dozen of Bierce's finest stories, including the celebrated Civil War fictions "An Occurrence at Owl Creek" and "Chickamauga," his macabre masterpieces "The Damned Thing" and "Moxon's Master," and his hilariously horrific "Oil of Dog" and "My Favorite Murder." Tom Quirk, the volume's editor, provides a fascinating introductory essay, as well as indispensable explanatory notes, a glossary of military terms, and a catalog of Civil War battle sites and leaders. ...

The world is safe! Asteroid capable of destroying London skims past Earth in nearest flyby since records began
- The 130,000 ton chunk of space rock was its closed to Earth at 7.25pm, GMT
- It passed within 17,000 miles - closer than some satellites
- It would have exploded with the force of 2.4MILLION tons of TNT if hit Earth
- The flyby occurred hours after a smaller meteor exploded above Russia
An asteroid capable of destroying London has successfully skimmed past the Earth.
The 150ft, 130,000 ton chunk of space rock was the nearest flyby for an object of this size since records began.
Although scientists said there was little chance of asteroid 2012 DA14 hitting our planet - if it did, it would have inflicted 1,000 times more damage than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Its closest approach, passing within
17,000 miles (27,357 kilometers), which is closer than some satellites, was at 7.25pm, GMT.
Close shave: An asteroid capable of destroying London has successfully skimmed past the Earth. This image, taken in Australia, shows the huge piece of space rock at it nears Earth
Frightening: The 150ft, 130,000 ton chunk of space rock was the nearest flyby for an object of this size since records began
Huge: This image shows how scientists think the Asteroid looks
The flyby occurred just hours after a much smaller meteor exploded above Russia's Ural Mountains.
Astronomers say the two events were coincidental, and the objects were traveling in opposite directions.
The asteroid delighted astronomers in Australia and elsewhere who watched it zip harmlessly through a clear night sky.
'It's on its way out,' reported Paul Chodas of NASA.
The asteroid was too small to see with the naked eye even at its closest approach over the Indian Ocean near Sumatra.
The best viewing locations, with binoculars and telescopes, were in Asia, Australia and eastern Europe. Even there, all anyone could see was a pinpoint of light as the asteroid buzzed by at 17,400 mph (28,000 kph).
As asteroids go, this one was relatively small. The one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was 6 miles across.
Fast: This image shows the asteroid as it travels through the sky. It is the white dot in the middle of picture
Speedy: Asteroid 2012 DA14 shoots through the night sky as it passes by closely to Earth in Manila, Philippines
But this rock could still do immense damage if it ever struck given its 143,000-ton heft, releasing the energy equivalent of 2.4 million tons of TNT and wiping out 750 square miles.
By comparison, NASA estimated that
the meteor that exploded over Russia was much smaller - about 49 feet
(15 meters) wide and 7,000 tons before it hit the atmosphere, or
one-third the size of the passing asteroid.
Speaking about the back-to-back events, Jim Green, NASA's director of planetary science, said: 'This is indeed very rare and it is historic.
'These fireballs happen about once a day or so, but we just don't see them because many of them fall over the ocean or in remote areas. This one was an exception.'
Close: This NASA graphic shows the trajectory of the asteroid. The green line shows the moment it reached its closest point to Earth, at about 7.25pm UK time
Dave Herald, an amateur astronomer in Murrumbateman, Australia, captured the asteroid - seen here as the black line as it moves across the sky/ The three minute exposure shows the fast movement of Asteroid 2012 DA14 seven hours before closest approach. At its closest approach, the object will be moving so fast as to cover this distance in approximately 15 seconds.
Disaster: This graphic shows the sequence of events which led to a meteor crashing in Russia yesterday
The asteroid was invisible to astronomers in the United States at the
time of its closest approach on the opposite of the world.
But in
Australia, astronomers used binoculars and telescopes to watch the point
of light speed across the clear night sky.
The asteroid cut through the orbit of some satellites used for weather forecasting and for satellite phones and television.
This afternoon it was spotted by amateur astronomer Dave Herald in, Murrumbateman, Australia.
Asteroid 2012 DA14 is seen as a streak running almost vertically at centre of the image.
Close shave: Asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass just 17,100 miles from Earth at around 7.30pm. 'In astronomical terms, that's very close,' said astronomer and asteroid expert Daniel Brown of Nottingham Trent University
It is a three-minute min exposure, with the asteroid seen at -82.5 degrees and heading south.
The streak is quite regular - indicating no major brightness variations over a time scale of three minutes.
At closest approach, the object was moving so fast as to cover this distance in approximately 15 seconds.
Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object program at the Jet Propulsion Lab, has insisted: 'No Earth impact is possible.'
A few hundred satellites orbit at 22,300 miles, higher than the asteroid's path, but scientists say the chance of it hitting one is extremely remote. Nevertheless, satellite operators have been warned
However, he added, its journey through space will bring it so close to our planet that stargazers from Europe to Australia will be able to see it with just a pair of binoculars.
'This flyby will provide a unique opportunity for researchers to study a near-Earth object up close.'
The half-hour broadcast from the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, included a real-time animation to show the location of the asteroid in relation to Earth.
There were also live or near real-time views of the asteroid from observatories in Australia.
Scientists have never observed such a narrow miss before.
Through binoculars, the object was visible as a tiny dot of light crossing the sky. It was recommended to look towards the north-east horizon around two hours after sunset.
Disturbance: This graphic depicts the trajectory of asteroid 2012 DA14 as it flies past Earth tonight. This view looks down from above the North Pole and shows how it will pass inside the ring of geo-stationary satellites
'It will be too faint for the naked eye but with binoculars it should be visible if you know where to look. It will be low to the north-eastern horizon and moving quite quickly,' he said.
'You'll be able to see it pass from the constellation Leo to roughly the Plough, more or less from anywhere in the UK, and it will be bright for about an hour.'
Asteroid 2012 DA14 belongs to dangerous family of near-Earth objects (NEOs) that are small enough to be missed but large enough to cause serious damage.
It was discovered in February last year by La Sagra Observatory in southern Spain as it fell under the spotlight of the Sun's rays, and has been closely tracked ever since.
Travelling at between 12,427mph and 18,641mph the asteroid will fly inside the orbits of high geostationary satellites some 22,000 miles above the Earth.
These are the satellites that provide us with telecommunications and weather forecasts,' said Dr Brown. 'There are loads of them but you're talking about a very big area. It would be very unlucky if a satellite was hit.
'The asteroid is more likely to hit some space junk, but most of this is only about a centimetre across and the impact won't even be noticed.'
The asteroid posed no danger to the International Space Station, which orbits at an altitude of only a few hundred kilometres.
The 150ft-wide, 130,000-ton asteroid is considered small as these things go. By contrast, the one that took out the dinosaurs 65million years ago was 6 miles wide.
Precise calculations showed there was absolutely no possibility of DA14 hitting the Earth, Dr Brown said.
But scientists had a good idea of what the effect of such an impact would be because a similar sized meteor devastated a remote region of Siberia in 1908.
Exploding a short distance above the ground over Tunguska, the object generated a blast equivalent to 2.4million tons of TNT.
Forest was completely flattened over an area of 830 square miles.
'We think the object that impacted at Tunguska would have been of a similar size to DA14,' said Dr Brown.
'Actually, it exploded in the air. It didn't destroy humanity, but if this object had exploded over London it would have wiped out London.
'It's not a global impact, but it's a severe impact.'
The likelihood of something this size striking Earth is once in every 1,200 years; a close encounter like this is thought to occur every 40 years.
During the flypast, scientists will use radar to study DA14 and learn about its composition and structure.
The knowledge could prove useful if steps have to be taken to remove the threat of another space rock. The 'Hollywood option' of blowing up an incoming asteroid has been ruled out by experts.
Such a dramatic solution would only result in deadly debris raining down on Earth so scientists are instead looking at ways of gently nudging an asteroid onto a safer trajectory.
The bulk of the solar system's asteroids are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and remain stable there for billions of years. Some occasionally pop out, though, into Earth's neighbourhood.
Nasa has published these three videos about asteroid 2012 DA14's flyby

Ellen DeGeneres Gives Oprah Winfrey a Sequined Portrait as Birthday Gift
Ellen DeGeneres has prepared a special gift to Oprah Winfrey who turned 60 on Wednesday, January 29. The host of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" proudly revealed the gift, a giant sequined portrait of Winfrey, on her talk show on Wednesday, saying that she spent months working on it.
"I spent a lot of time on it. Pretty. Each one hand-done. Took me months to do that thing," she said. The talk-show host added that the birthday girl needed to collect it herself at the studio because "shipping is going to cost me a fortune."
In addition to wishing a happy birthday on the show, DeGeneres took to Twitter to deliver similar message. "Happy birthday, @Oprah! You've done so much for so many people. There's no way we can ever repay you. But we can try. Look under your chair," she tweeted.
"Happy Birthday to the most generous woman in the entire world! We love you Ms. @Oprah! P.S. New robes for the girls next year, on the way," Mariah Carey wrote. Kerry Washington also joined the two celebrities, writing, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ms. @Oprah Winfrey. I love you so very much. I thank The Lord that you were born!!!!!! XOXOX."
Alicia Keys, meanwhile, shared a photo of her with the media mogul. "Happy birthday to one of the greatest inspirations of our generation! Blessings and love to the Queen @Oprah ;-)," she captioned the photo. Michael B. Jordan also joined others, calling the birthday girl "one of the most important women on the planet(other than my mom)" in a post.

All plants will perform better and have less disease problems if all
the Micronutrients are present in the soil in the optimum ranges of
concentration. However, the availability of those nutrients to the plants
depends on pH.
On the topic of Boron, this element was present in the soil in
Kentucky, but I still had leaf spot on some, but not all TB Irises there.
The severity of the problem appeared to be related to the weather.

In his Senate hearing Chief Justice Roberts said: "I will remember that it's my job to call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat." In upholding the Obama health care legislation he didn't hit a home run, but he bunted in the win. In doing so, many claim he made an error, and in his commerce clause ruling, left a number of issues on base. OK enough of baseball metaphors! Although I do not agree with all of his reasoning, I do agree with the result, but it certainly did not come from "calling balls and strikes." I rise to the Chief Justice's defense nonetheless.
What the public does not understand is that cases that reach the Supreme Court and the Appellate Courts do not involve issues where there is a clear winner and loser -- a right and wrong position. Quite to the contrary, most cases that reach those courts require the judges to choose between two "right" positions, either of which is defensible and supportable. Witness the number of divisions in the decisions. If there were a clear right decision, a computer system could be devised to spew out the correct answer -- so "balls and strikes" it ain't!
What tilts the scale for judges and justices is their personal judicial philosophy. That judicial philosophy is not the result of some blind adherence to a conservative or liberal position, but rather the result of years of personal and professional experiences. It does not result in ignoring the law and facts, but rather affects how they are perceived. A judge who has experienced racial or sexual discrimination is likely to be more sensitive to those claims. I can honestly say that when I first went on to the district court I had absolutely no judicial philosophy -- as least not one of which I was aware and determined to pursue. But as cases were presented to me I began to develop a sense that I was there to protect individual rights and liberties. I do not think I had a bias, but rather a growing awareness of what was really happening in the world around me and how the law could serve to protect those who needed and deserved it. If that made me a "liberal" -- so be it.
Much has been speculated about the Chief Justice's supposed change in position; that he abandoned his own judicial philosophy and the expectation of those who appointed and supported him. Any appellate judge will tell you that there are some decisions "that just won't write". A judge will vote for a particular outcome, be assigned the opinion, and then find that he or she is unable to support the outcome and switches sides. We do not know if it happened here, but if it did the Chief is to be admired, not condemned, for his integrity, even if "he took one for the team" (baseball again!) Recognizing that both sides had merit, he may have chosen the side that preserved the honor and integrity of the Court, recognizing that holding the legislation unconstitutional would have confirmed the public's view of a purely political Supreme Court.
In so doing he may have disappointed the expectations of many of his supporters, but in the choice for the Supreme Court between conservatism and integrity, he properly chose integrity.

Periodic Unicorn Ladies' Tee
U + Ni + Co + Rn
You know, if unicorns were made of uranium, nickel, cobalt, and radon, they'd be metallic and glow in the dark. Which would be pretty awesome.Read more...
U + Ni + Co + RnWe're not always sure what we look like. Not that we care, but.. okay. Sometimes we do. Sometimes we want to make a good impression and we're not sure whether or not it's working. And the nice thing about dragon and unicorn apparel is that when people tell you that you look fantastic, you can say with confidence that they're correct.
A unicorn, rampant, stands above the periodic table elements Uranium, Nickel, Cobalt, and Radon on the front of this light green 100% cotton ladies' t-shirt. The design is tacky, like an old-school iron-on from the 70s. Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Imported.

Performance Compensation is also tied to Potential
After Budget and Comparatio, performance compensation should consider performance and potential
Now, if you have money and they have room, the next thing that determines your performance compensation is performance. But there's another part of it; potential. If you have money and you have room to even begin performance compensation for an employee, the next thing that you'll need to know that will accurately predict somebody's increase is their performance and their potential.
Think of potential this way. Is an employee silly enough to want more responsibility and good enough to earn it? In other words, some people have enough common sense not to want to take on these additional jobs that don't really pay that much more.
If you've got to always take on more responsibility even though it doesn't pay that much more, that means you're going to the end of your rope a lot faster. You're not going to keep jumping the ladder going to the next step. And when you have a balanced life, you're going to find whatever your top salary grade is a little bit sooner. And when you find that your performance compensations are going to level off a bit and that's fine.
Tie Past Performance to Things Other than Performance Compensation
Last year's performance is not the best predictor of this year's performance compensation. But last year's performance does predict some other stuff. For example, if you have a bonus, that's where it comes from. Last year's performance is usually tied in to this year's bonus.
Companies normally decide who they're going to keep based on performance. If things get dicey, they're going to unload the lifeboat with people who perform the least. And the best performers are the last to go.
When looking for promotions, you should look for the best performers. And even though you're giving out assignments or goodies, so that's the primary criteria for how we do it.
Performance rocks. It's really important. But don't kid yourselves and believe that last year's performance is the best predictor of performance compensation. Budget and comparatio determine the viability of performance compensation first in reality.

Connecting an Apple Power Mac G4 Cube to a wireless Internet connection requires a wireless card compatible with the Cube. In addition to a Wi-Fi adaptor on the computer, you must have a wireless network to which to connect. A wireless network connection is provided by a wireless router, which distributes a wired Internet connection to multiple devices wirelessly. The AirPort card, manufactured by Apple, is a plug-and-play solution for Wi-Fi connectivity on the G4 Cube. The adaptor's wiring is pre-installed inside the case, meaning no tools or external connections are required.

Crotons are tropical plants that have long, striated leaves. The leaves are mostly green, but are interspersed with red, yellow and orange color along the leaf veins. They are commonly grown indoors in pots in the majority of the United States, but can grow outdoors in tropical climates such as the lower latitudes of southern Florida. Pruning a croton is only necessary to maintain the appearance of the plant and should be done on indoor and outdoor crotons.
Things You'll Need
- Pruning shears
Examine the plant for any yellowing or wilting leaves, which indicates that they are dying. These leaves are usually located at the bottom of the plant, but can be located elsewhere as well. Use pruning shears to cut off the dead leaves as close to the base of the plant as possible.
Prune one-third of the longest branches on the croton by cutting them off near the base of the plant using pruning shears. The tallest branches may grow upward, or they may grow out horizontally.
Wait until new green growth appears along the main stem of the croton, which will occur in less than one month. When the new growth reaches 1/2 inch to 1 inch long, prune the plant again, removing an additional one-third of the longest branches. Using this technique results in a full, uniformly shaped croton, as opposed to one that has a thin stem at the bottom.
Tips & Warnings
- The best time to prune croton plants is in the spring or late fall, when temperatures are mild.
