Visible Theft Detection Powder, Choose a Color
Free shipping for orders over $35. Add free evidence bag gift wrap. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Paypal and money orders. We accept purchase orders from schools and government agencies. |
Visible Theft Detection Powder is applied to a surface such as a doorknob or a valuable object. It is applied lightly with a brush. When your thief touches the object, the powder reacts with the natural moisture on the hand, causing it to turn a brilliant color. This difficult to remove stain easily identifies your thief. Choose from many color options. Pick a powder color to match the surface where it will be applied. Powders start as one color and once activated by human perspiration or moisture, they stain as another color. An example is copper colored powder that turns orange after being touched.
View your powder options by clicking on the pulldown menu.

The right man for the job?
When it came to protecting the innocent, Bobby Taylor was your man. But when his best friend, Wes, asked him to keep an eye on his little sister, Bobby desperately wanted to pass. Because to him, gorgeous redhead Colleen Skelly didn't look like anyone's kid sister. He doubted she was innocent. And he wanted to keep more than just his eye on her....
After years of trying to get magnificent Navy SEAL Bobby Taylor to herself—and away from the prying eyes of her meddling brother—Colleen had finally succeeded. Bobby was hers, if only for a few days. And she had her work cut out for her. She had to prove that she was a grown woman—and that he was all she would ever need in a man....
©2009 Suzanne Brockmann (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"Painful narration"
This narrator is painful to hear. Her voice is a nasal grunt at best, even for the young women characters. It is hard to listen to a man who sounds like a 80-year-old chain-smoking woman, but listening to a 23-year-old woman who speaks like a young boy belching the alphabet is equally annoying. All Suzanne Brockmann's books are about the romance, and there is just nothing romatic about these character voices.
"READ ALL of the Dark & Dangerous Navy SEAL Series"
Throughout this particular Navy Seals series, Bobby Taylor was the most understated member of ALPHA squad team. Honestly, I think I love his story most of all, not that the others aren't action packed, romantic, hot and sexy! Go to Suzanne Brockmann's website, print the sequential order list for this series. MUCH better when you read them in order! Worth the summer discount prices or definitely worth the credits to get them all. I have listened to the series (11 books in the series) TWICE and will definitely listen many more times in the future. BUY all 11
I want to be an amazing Navy SEAL (God Bless America) in my next life!
"More love story than seal mission"
Love story enjoyable. Narrator made it hard to decipher characters' thoughts from actual words or actions. Bobby's voice should have been deeper. It seemed like a throaty whisper. Listened to most of story during 4-hour car ride, which made the time fly by both ways.
"Love Suzanne Brockmann but narration is annoying"
I love all Suzanne Brockmann books and this was no exception.
I love getting to know each of the Seals.
No. Her voice becomes like fingernails on a chalkboard. I think I would have liked the protagonist, but her voice is so whiny and nasally that it was hard not to hate her.
"Love this book"
Great book! I love the way the characters are brought to life. this is a series that I wish could continue through the lives of the characters. one of my favorite narrators by far. she is outstanding.
"This was my least favorite in this series."
Alex Fishers voice drove me nuts. I stopped several times in the course of listening to take a break. The story seemed to go on an on about the same thing. The last few chapters were better.
"Story good, voice not so good"
I would recommend this book because the story is excellent and brings the other characters into this book.
Probably not. The voices sounded off, and some sounded so similar that you couldn't tell who was who.
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"More of the same."
The Tall, Dark and Dangerous series is defiantly no Troubleshooters, but it is a nice romance. There is hardly any action in this book, when I think Suzanne Brockmann could have put lots more action in which would have made it way less slow. I can see how these books are a warm up for the Troubleshooter books. All the books in this series are similar, this one is good but not my favorite. This series should be read in order. Defiantly a sale kind of book. I didn't mind the narrator too much, although her Boston accent is atrocious.
"good...bordering on really good"
Yes...I enjoyed the storyline. Bobby and Wes of the Alpha Squad have ALWAYS been each other's rock. This story pushes their boundaries and tests their friendship. It also brings a whole new side of Bobby Taylor that we haven't heard about in the other books. A new side of Wes too.
The rest of the Tall Dark and Dangerous series by Brockmann. It's good...it's predictable but enjoyable.
She definitely has enthusiasm. I didn't care for her accent because it reminded me of an 80's surfer girl, which made the cast sound extremely immature in some of the parts. Bobby is supposed to be relatively quiet and her boisterous voice didn't bring that to the table. However, her boisterous voice and attitude definitely made up in the action department. She was not lacking when it came to emotion.
Sometimes opposites do attract!
"Ok book, don't miss it."
I liked the continuation of the stories that she writes. I wished that a male or a female/male did the audiobook. It would seem more manly like the others in the series. All in all it's a ok book to listen to, I did like the story line and it was not so long to listen tot the voice.

When she collapses from exhaustion while browsing in a bookstore and subsequently has a car crash, she decides to run away, throwing away her belongings and attempting to live incognito with a bar singer. Eventually she returns to her oh-so-boring life and shuttles between two additional lovers while working on the set of "Tears of an Angel." Some allusions are made to the Arthurian and Camelot myths, but these are not developed. Reviewers found the main attraction of this "art film" to be the numerous sex scenes between the star (played by Amanda Ooms) and her various lovers. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

by The Auction at Graceland
29 October 2016
Memphis, TN, USA
Live AuctionDescription:
In 1954, Hank Snow convinced the directors of the Grand Ole Opry to allow Elvis to appear as Snow's opening act. Snow introduced Elvis to Colonel Tom Parker and for a short period, served as part of his management team with Colonel Parker. Even before his relationship with Elvis, Hank Snow was known as the "Singing Ranger" and had a musical career of his own. This Hank Snow Show souvenir photo album with the Singing Ranger pictured on the cover and an image of Jimmie Rodgers Snow in the upper right was sold at performances in 1955. This souvenir picture album starts with a 2-page inspirational story of Hank Snow's rise to success from a harsh childhood in Canada and continues with large 1-page images and descriptions of the entertainers with whom he would perform. These included Faron Young, Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters, Wilburn Brothers, Jimmie Rodgers Snow, Davis Sisters, Elvis Presley, and Slim Whitman. The last interior page credits Hank Snow All Star Jamboree, listing the artists, management, and Elvis Presley with Scotty and Bill, while the back cover was open for autographs. The souvenir album was a show program designed to introduce the talents on the Hank Snow Show. The black-and-white album with color on the front and back covers has six double-sided pages, measures approximately 11 by 8 1/2 inches (27.94 x 21.59 cm), and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated.

Lot 159: First Edition of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
Arader Galleries November 2016 Auction
by Arader Galleries
05 November 2016
New York, NY, USA
Live AuctionDescription: Tratado De Paz, Amistad, Limites y Arreglo Definitivo Entre La Republica Mexicana y Los Estados Unidos De America, Concluido Por Los Pleniptenciarios en Guadalupe Hidalgo El 2 De Febrero, Ratificado En Washington El 10 De Marzo, y En Queretaro el 30 de Mayo. [Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo]. Mexico: I. Cumplido, 1848. 8vo., (9 x 5 4/8 inches). Text in Spanish and English (persistent worm trails, expertly repaired from page 37). Modern tan calf, gilt, original printed paper wrappers bound in. First complete edition, second edition overall, of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo which ended the Mexican-American War, with the important protocols added at the end, which were necessary for the conclusion of the peace treaty. Apparently more scarce than the first edition, which was printed at Queretaro a few months previously. During the Mexican-American War, General Winfield Scott was accompanied by Nicholas Trist, a State Department official empowered to negotiate a peace treaty for the United States. Trist was initially rebuffed by the Mexican authorities and summoned back to Washington. However, as the war drew to a close, he proceeded with negotiations at Guadalupe Hidalgo, near Mexico City. Under the terms of the resulting treaty, signed on February 2, 1848, Mexico was required to cede California and New Mexico to the United States and to recognize the Rio Grande as the southern and western boundary of Texas. The border between the two nations was fixed at the Rio Grande and the United States pledged to protect the rights of Mexicans living in the newly acquired areas.

Time: All day-Sunday, November 3rd
Humboldt State University's First Street Gallery is pleased to present, Forest Invisible, a solo exhibition by photographer Young Suh, on display from October 4th through November 3rd, 2013. The exhibition will feature photographs that examine the tradition of landscape as a subject in art as well as our culture's dissociative relationship to nature.
Suh's photographs examine forest fires as they alter the appearance of the landscape. Exploring the relationship between wilderness and human intervention, he depicts aspects of life in the midst of fires, from unconcerned civilians to working fire crews. The viewer experiences seemingly tranquil imagery that masks the underlying violent threat of fire
Suh states that, "Forest Invisible is a narrative of human emotions in nature––our desire, projections and failure. A narrative of nature is always a struggle between two sides: the one who wants to contain the other, and the one that proves the other wrong. But this struggle has been for so long that it is more like a dance than a war. It is an aesthetic experience." Young Suh has been making photographs on the subject of nature and human desire to control her for the last decade.
Young Suh will give an artist talk about his photography at Humboldt State University. He will talk about his latest book, Forest Invisible and the current exhibition of the same title at the HSU First Street Gallery as well as his past and current works about living in nature. The talk is free and open to the public and will take place on October 11 at 4:30 p.m. in the Great Hall, 2nd floor above the College Creek Marketplace, corner of Harpst and Roswell, Humboldt State University campus, Arcata, California. For parking information, visit www.humboldt.edu/parking
A native of South Korea, Suh attended Pratt Institute in New York where he received his BFA in Photography in 1998. Suh went on to receive a Masters of Fine Art in Studio Art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 2001. His work has since been featured in galleries and museums nationwide. Suh is currently an Assistant Professor of Photography at University of California, Davis.
A reception for the artist at HSU First Street Gallery will be held Saturday, October 5th, 2013 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. during Eureka's monthly Arts Alive event. The gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m. and is located at 422 First Street Eureka, California. Admission is free. Those planning group tours are encouraged to call ahead. For more information call 707-443-6363. To learn more, go to http://www.humboldt.edu/first/exhibition.html

Jewish World Review July 10, 2009 / 18 Tamuz 5769 Obama will repeal medicare By Dick Morris & Eileen Mc Gann
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Obama's health care proposal is, in effect, the repeal of the Medicare program as we know it. The elderly will go from being the group with the most access to free medical care to the one with the least access. Indeed, the principal impact of the Obama health care program will be to reduce sharply the medical services the elderly can use. No longer will their every medical need be met, their every medication prescribed, their every need to improve their quality of life answered.

The Boss
Bacon Shortage
How did this not make GL4x4 yet?
http://www.freep.com/article/2012092...xt|FRONTPAGE|p Quote:
I got a text today saying there could be a bacon shortage. So after a stop at Kroger to buy a couple packages to ensure I had some stocked up, to confirm it when I got home I came to what is usually a good resource for bacon news. I was saddened that there was no thread about the so called coming bacon shortage that should affect the worlds supply. So I decided to make one myself. Fortunately, I did a little more research through the googlebox and found that it might not be as bad as my text message implied. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...9258_blog.html Quote:
There is also no bacon smiley on GL4X4. How is this possible? If this is a repos t and my search skills suck. Flame away. |

Gran Canaria Desktop Summit Review: Video of Plasma Netbook UI and Qt KDE Lab in South America
The KDE team are to work closer with Kwin developers to reinforce the integration of the KDE window manager into the project. The announcement was made at the end of the joint Gnome and KDE Gran Canaria Desktop Summit that came to a close July 11.
After a recent initial presentation, the summit saw the unveiling of a first running version. The Alpha should appear towards the end of 2009 with a stable version planned for early 2010. A screencast video showing the future KDE netbook interface in detail is available on YouTube and its clear KDE is headed for the web and the integration of more online services. In the last days of the Canary event, the Plasma team conjured a KRunner plugin out of its sleeve that brings Wikipedia to the desktop- a feature that, thanks to the modular design of Plasma, will also run on normal desktops.
Newly elected President Cornelius Schumacher, last year's treasurer, told of KDEs bright blossoming financial situation with the result that new projects are being created and existing ones further developed. The desktop is constantly increasing its profile in the economy, sponsoring 18 developer conferences, the so-called Developer Sprints, last year alone. Something that the French University of Toulouse has been doing for the past three years.
The flirt between KDE and Gitorious also has a happy end. KDE today announced a move to future cooperation with git and Gitorius, paving the way for more developer contribution.

Completely random gorgeous old pic (Essence, 2009)
MoooOOOooorning Early Birds – Happy Sunday!
Waving back – safe journey Mister, Wifey Unit's peace will be destroyed in 18 hours.
You can't rush in to these things, I have to be psychologically prepared. Even for a finely tuned athlete like me, yoga is a leap.
Does aging beauty taste as good as aging wine?
/ducks and runs like hell to the departure gate
Good move by the airline, they didn't want any of their passengers subjected to wimmin jokes all through the flight. Safe journey Mister!
😆 I'm certain you did, but at least she could switch you off if she wanted, in 18 hours that option is wiped out.
I thought I was late – glad you got the message
(Sometimes I wish I could use the word glad without thinking about my mother taking me to see Pollyanna when I was maybe 9 years old – movie theater was booked out for weeks – we ended up sitting on the stairs – mother was not happy)
Safe travels AMK. Happy Sunday and a successful week is wished for GoB be strong we are praying for you.
Gooooooood Morning again …Ms Chipssssss and all in TOD village,….
it take a village to bring about change…
Morning everyone:) Cat woke me up scratching on my bedroom door…are they kidding?? The house wasn't on fire, there was no invasion of critters….WTH! Kitty being hungry is NOT a reason to wake me early on Sunday morning…..where did I put that training manual….
Anyway. I up now! Beautiful pic of Michelle and her mom:) Just lovely.
amk…safe flight home. I'd pay to have hubby gone for 6 weeks of peace and quiet:) (Is that bad to say?…been married to the same guy for 33 years, I think I can say that:)
HAHAHAHA! Silly woman! Do you think I have a death wish?! 🙂 No…he doesn't read TOD….
I'd give anything for a comment from Mr Desert Flower to pop up: "Yes I do read TOD actually, my beloved."
🙂 Dream on! Ain't gonna happen, but that WOULD be funny:) Besides, I'm very honest with him about his time to be out of the house….that's precisely the reason we HAVE been married so long, my dear:) Always wonderful when he comes home though….
Whatever we have may not be "conventional" but it works for us….I make no bones about the fact that I like my time alone and he needs to go somewhere…luckily, he travels for work and it works out for us….don't forget that he retired from the Navy…our life together was never normal from the git go. I can do everything on my own and I'm secure and strong in my skin…I say we compliment each other, not complete each other….that, and he makes me laugh….bottom line, that's a big one:)
Ah, I'd forgotten he was in the Navy DF, I'm sure you mentioned that before – well, that guaranteed an unconventional life!
Have I said how much I admire and LOVE FLOTUS….yeah…I know I have…I just wanted to say it again…smilin
Just gorgeous – I came online to that picture and so wished my Mom was still here so we could have such a hug.
ty prettyfoot – I had her for many many years, so was blessed – always said my problems all evolved because I had such a happy childhood 🙂 – and once I was grown, in her eyes – I could do no wrong. Not many folks ever think of you in that way. She was the rock that held our family together – despite she had a few of her own issues with living.
But enough of me – that is a wonderful photo – I'm sure they both take the stress off each other, being together in the white house.
Spandan talked about the pivotal role of the Press….why it was enshrined in the Constitution and how it is not living up to its scared mission..
The Founders invested the most power to hold the government accountable in the fourth estate – the press. They did not, however, imagine the press to be an instrument of ideology. A free press is, in its reporting, free from legal restraint, from business interests, and most importantly, free from ideological agenda.
The American Right was the first to abuse the necessary nature of the press being free from government regulations to undermine its freedom from ideological agenda-driven reporting. After the Right's success, the Left swept in to fill the void – creating more "press" with ideological agenda, albeit a different ideology. As the Right wing press moved to attack government for its legitimate functions of taxation, social spending, and business regulations, the Left wing press took up the cause of attacking the government over other legitimate functions, most notably national security and law enforcement….
I would add…as a person of color….I have always found the press to have bias towards the African American Community….however…I can also say that it was wrenching images that were broadcast on TV and pictures in the newspapers of the civil rights movement that told a story to America….that would not have been seen otherwise,,,
Pf, I believe, sadly, that the US press is dead. It simply no longer exists in the manner in which we've traditionally known it, which is why it's often referred to as legacy media. What has substituted for it is social media and the free exchange of ideas on the internet. It's imperfect, often biased, and is not always fact-based, but it's what we're going to have for the foreseeable future. The generation born after 1980 don't watch traditional media, nor do I, although I was born a whole lot of decades before 1980. Cokie Roberts once let slip that the DC media resented our president because he seemed to regard all of them as 'has beens' from another era. The president is right and it's why he's despised and continually attacked by the Washington press.
Goooood Morning Jackie….how are you today…
I do agree with you about the state of the Press…however therestill are small pocked of the Press…that do try to be JOE Friday…Just the Facts, man….but news has become entertainment and opinion driven….
although the internet can blunt that…it is our organizing on the ground that …one to one…neighbor to neighbor interaction that will have a great effect as well…this is how ObamaCare…aka the ACA was able to break thru the junk that was being driven by the corporate media…
but not all DEMS want to be grass roots and organize from the ground up…they are still mired in top down big party boss politics…like here in PA…
He sees them for what they are jackie – pundits who will find anything, regardless of the truth, to hold against him. When these so called scandals erupted around him – Benghazi, IRS, that was the end for me with the press. They want to be the news – they don't want to report truth.
The DC press is irrelevant not because they're from "another era". They're irrelevant because they don't do REAL journalism. And the President is very well aware of that. So he doesn't have a lot of respect for them. Strangely, while the president is so diplomatic with everyone, he seems unable to hide his contempt for the DC press. I understand his sentiment and admire his honesty, but there's no doubt his evident contempt for the Villagers has created a backlash: when the president wants to get his message out, it's at least twice as difficult because the press doesn't help him. At all.
As for the young generation, it's true that they go on the Internet because they find it more convenient. But mainstream news organizations are all on the Internet now so the young generation is an available audience anyway.
The problem is not Internet. The problem is that the traditional press in the USA, at least on the national level, is absolutely PATHETIC. In other countries, the mainstream press is alive and well, does a pretty good job. Canada, France are two examples.
In the USA, the national press has completely abdicated its role of truth checker. So it's no surprise that people are completely confused when they vote. I would be curious to see if there is another country in the West where the disconnect between what policies people want and what politicians they elect is as BIG as in the USA. I doubt it.
Of course, there is also the problem of Fox News and talk radio. A real propaganda machine who has brainwashed a part of the population. Reminiscent of the Brown Shirts in the 30s in Germany. In the beginning of the 21st century, that propaganda of resentment and hate is much more powerful in the USA than in other countries in the West. It has done a lot of damage.
GM HF…what is not stated…it was NEVER about a plan to unite the GOP…it was a plan to keep the so-called GOP base unified against the Obama Coalition… and the President…
CPAC is nothing but a KKK rally, that is what the Republican Party have become, nothing but racists.

Lovely pic of Mrs. O and Mrs. R. What a tremendous source of pride they are to each other and roll models for the world.
Either they have no shame or it's just so matter of course they think nothing of it. Either way, she and all the others like her…NEED TO GO!
Good morning….it's a lovely spring morning where I am…..I can hear birds chirping! But, with spring, comes the dread of tornadoes here in tornado alley. The Sunday paper was filled with tornado news, and weather news, and how last year's big one changed weather forecasting here. We will enjoy today…….church, lunch with daughter and son-in-law and family, then home to walk the dog and get ready for this week's classes.
What is the latest on Malaysian Flight 370? The more I read, the stranger it becomes. Looking at the map, seems there are many places that plane could have gone out of radar scope.
So glad the President is meeting with the Ukrainian P M Wednesday. His instincts are impeccable.
Knoller NEVER tweeted about the jobs report on Friday, because there was no way to spin the good news – but he's all over PBO's Key Largo visit.
Well I'm sorry POTUS, FLOTUS, and the family doesn't have a few extra days in Key Largo.
He's kinda snarky in almost all his tweets—–even football games that go long and cut into 60 Minutes start time, which really drives him nuts—–so I am never too bothered with his tone. (or I've become immune) I did note that Ahmad Rashad is in the foursome, so I'm assuming Valerie Jarrett is along again on this getaway—–(they've been romantically linked).
Weren't they just engaged? (Jarrett & Rashad)? Or maybe I'm jumping ahead here.
What?? A family member says that a passenger on the mising planes cellphone is still operating??
You have now entered that dimension known as the TWILIGHT ZONE….. (creepy…creepy…creepy…)…..
I noticed that Steve Kornacki has nothing new on Christie so he is now dealing in hypotheticals and what if's now.
Next week should get meatier because Bill Stepien and Bridget Kelly are being taken to court on 3/11 to force them to hand over documents related to Bridgegate. Until we get those documents, the story is not being significantlyadvanced. Federal Investigators are also involved now but it may be slow going for awhile.
Just finished up my " creative bookkeeping " for taxes being done tomorrow.

Time Travel Thursday #48 - That Nesting Instinct
18 comments:
I really love seeing little nests and eggs and little baby birds...outside.
I am not one for bringing a nest inside. I guess that stems from my mother always telling me that they were filled with mites. So, I just enjoy looking at them on the outside.
You really got some great photos of these...:)
Thanks for hosting.I need to investigate our property more closely. We have a variety of species but the only nests I consistently find are robins, pigeons and mourning doves. It does not take them long to build a nest securely. I give them extra materials too. LOTS of dog hair, bits of yarn and string, I even see them use almost whole plastic bags.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have so many bird nests! I would love that! Love that mossy one! Bird nests here are usually too high in a tree for me to see them, which is good since we have a cat. We do have killdeer birds which build a nest anywhere on the ground, in gravel on a road (?) or in barkdust.
Thanks for hosting each week. Have a great weekend!
~ Juliethanks for sharing at Fishtail Cottage garden party! i am giggling a little because i have a "found" bird nest on my porch & put plastic eggs & something keeps taking them & dropping them in the yard. i sprayed parfume on the nest hoping it keeps whatever is interested away! Love your real nests! xoox, tracie

This week's theme: Choose a political or social issue that matters to you. Find several books addressing that issue; they don't have to books you've read, just books you might like to read. Using images (of the book covers or whatever you feel illustrates your topic) present these books in your blog.
Not surprisingly, I feel strongly about literacy. Every so often statistics appear in the news that shock me about reading in this country. Just today I found this well written article from the CBC: Canada's Shame, "42 per cent of Canadians are semi-illiterate." I actually shouldn't be surprised. Funding for school libraries keeps dropping and it's up to parents through fundraising and in some cases corporations like Chapters to stack the bookshelves of our schools. I do not understand this. A good government should know that a literate society is crucial to a functioning country: more educated people pay taxes instead of living off of them.
Unfortunately as well, there are just some parents who don't care about education. I know this because I know some teachers who are frustrated on a daily basis by this antipathy. It isn't hard to take your kids to the library and get books into their hands.
I could go on forever about this, but I'll leave you with a snippet from the documentary that brought tears to my eyes The Writing on the Wall.

Photographer's Note
The Rila Monastery was founded in the 10th century by St. John of Rila - a hermit who lived about a dozen years in a cave with no other shelter. The story goes that this tomb like place became a holy site and then was transformed into the monastic complex.
The monastery was largely destoryed by fire in the 19th century, but rebult in the mid 1800s. It is one of the largest and one of the most impressive monasteries I have been to (Bulgaria, Moldova & Romainia).
It is located in the Kyustendil province of Bulgaria; however, it seems most people mentally file it in a province of Sofia or Plovdiv since there are frequent day trips made from the cities.
It is possible to stay over night at the monastery; however, there does not seem to be a booking system. Perhaps this is so they can sift through the lodge seekers to allow the most devout pilgrims first.

Seems to me that the building has a combination of islamic & western architecture. Although not vividly focused but the combination of geometric figures is very clear. It would have been great if the whole building had been captured, of course this is my idea, i do not know if there is some physical limitation of doing it. The background color was nicely captured. I think this monastery is under renovation?

You all know what a sucker I am for a good book, and then if the book is made into a movie, it's a double delicious date.
We will be going to the movies and out to dinner, this Saturday. We are not sure what time the movie is but we'll look on Friday and put all the information online once we know the times.
This Saturday we will be teaching a square on the afghan of the month. Not interested in doing the entire afghan, no worries. You can make it out of cotton and it is perfect to learn cables. This makes a great washcloth for those on your list.
We'll see you soon, in our cool, fun, shop.

Latest update March 26th, 2017 12:55 AM
Jan 19, 2013 Letters Comments Off on Service, in whatever shape or form, is one of the distinguishing characteristics of humankind
According to a news report, Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, has taken on the role of Honorary Chair of the 2013 National Day of Service and will headline a summit on the National Mall on Saturday to launch President Barack Obama's second inauguration. As is known, the Clintons – Bill and Hillary- were actively involved in the campaign for the re-election of President Obama to the White House, which no doubt may have influenced the choice of Chelsea to such an important leadership role.
In her own words, "there is no more fitting way to mark a presidential inauguration than a day of service. Coming together as a country to strengthen our communities has always been part of the American spirit. I am deeply grateful that President Obama and his administration have put service at the centre of the inauguration weekend and I am proud to be part of a nation-wide service effort, honoring the service and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and building a brighter future for all of us."
Ms. Chelsea Clinton herself came from a great tradition of service. Her father Bill Clinton was a former President of the United States of America and her mother Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State under the Obama administration. Mrs. Clinton was a presidential candidate but narrowly lost to Obama in the Democratic primaries. There is speculation that Chelsea Clinton could be using this opportunity to launch her own entry into politics, something that virtually runs in her blood.
I have always maintained that the greatest service one can render is to serve one's country. Many people shy away from working with the government because of a perception that public service salaries are low or not as competitive as that offered in the private sector. These are basically people who are motivated by financial considerations, by how much they can make rather than how much they can give to society.
Mathama Gandhi is credited for putting service ahead of material gains when he famously said "service thy duty, reward not thy business". In similar vein, former US President John Kennedy once remarked: ''Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." These are indeed profound statements which highlighted the primacy of service over rewards, and if heeded, could positively impact on the way we relate to other people, more particularly those with whom we are required to interact on a daily basis by virtue of our office or position we hold in the public service.
Yet one does not necessarily have to be a public servant in order to contribute to the public good. Indeed, there are hundreds of Guyanese who make their contribution to the communities to which they belong without any expectation of financial reward or material gain.
Service, in whatever shape or form, is one of the distinguishing characteristics of humankind. People contribute in different ways based on their own interests and competence. Some people avoid some kinds of service based on perceptions and stereotypes. It is not uncommon to hear some people say that they don't want to get into politics because "politics is a dirty" game. One manifestation of this perception is the negligible number of university students who opted to pursue Degrees in Political Science at the University of Guyana.
Yet, the highest form of service that any person could offer is in the field of active political involvement, be it at the national or at the community level. Political involvement is the oldest form of activism known to man and it still remained one of the defining moments in the political evolution of societies to modern societies. The Greek City states were the first, centuries ago, to experiment with political formations in the body politic and remained until today the cradle of democracy and the democratic evolution of societies into that we have come to know and accept.
In the final analysis, democracy is the rule of the majority. This does not mean that minority views must be disregarded in the formulation of policies and programmes. Mechanisms must be put in place to accommodate minority views wherever practicable, but it is views of the majority that must be the basis of rule in any democracy. The dictatorship of the majority is at all times preferable over the dictatorship of a few. This is why the Westminster model of majoritarian rule is seen as much more advanced from a democratic standpoint, especially in the context of political and cultural pluralism.
It is the extent to which people sacrifice and subordinate their own individual interests for the common good that sets them apart from others. This is why names such as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and our own Cheddi Jagan will always be revered and remembered in the corridors of time. These are people who sacrificed their entire life for the cause of humanity and for which they never looked forward to personal gains.

The UCI women's peloton is continuing to take shape with the Cyclelive-Zannatta team launched.
The Belgian-based outfit will be overseen by former Belgian champion Heidi van De Vijver but the announcement on the cyclelivemagazine.be website was bolstered by the news that Grace Verbeke will head the squad, along with Carla Ryan.
Verbeke was hit by a truck in October 2011 while out on a training ride, sustaining a broken eye socket, a bruised pelvis and superficial wounds. The 28-year-old was set to race with the Kleo Ladies team but the 2012 season was then interrupted by illness. Along with De Vijver and Verbeke, Annelies Van Doorslaer also comes across from Kleo Ladies.
Former Australian champion Carla Ryan is another big name signing for the team, the last of the riders to find a new home following the collapse of the AA Drink - Leontien.nl squad following the decision of the title sponsor to cease funding. Ryan said via her Twitter account that she was "Looking forward to turning things around in 2013."
The announcement also alluded to an "American rider making a comeback after a year's absence from the peloton" though is yet to be named.
A host of Belgian riders have also been listed: Latoya Brulee (Topsport Vlaanderen-Ridley), Lieselot Decroix (Dolmans Boels), Annelies Dom and youngster Daisy Depoorter. Dutchwoman Marissa Otten (Specialized DPT) and Monique van de Ree (SKIL-Argos) complete the team.

InsurTech Can Help Fix The Decline In Life Insurance
The Huffington Post
No one disputes that life insurance ownership in the US has been on the decline for decades.
The question up for debate is what to do about it.
The emergence of an insurtech sector is an indicator of entrepreneur and investor confidence in upside potential. The hundreds of millions of dollars being poured into technology by carriers is another.
But before piles of capital are poured into attempts to capture the opportunity, investors and legacy insurers should reflect upon the root causes of this seemingly unstoppable trend, and prioritize innovations that aim at solving the biggest issues:
- Carriers have evolved through their own cumulative behavior over decades away from serving the needs of the majority of Americans to meeting the needs of a shrinking high net worth population
- A declining pool of independent agents are chasing bigger policies within this segment
- The industry has, effectively, painted itself into a corner, and is trapped in a business model that, given its own complexity, is difficult to change from within
Carriers face what Clayton Christensen termed, in his eponymous 1997 classic, an "innovator's dilemma." While continuing to do what they do brings carriers closer to mass-market irrelevance, today's practices, products processes, and policies don't change. They deliver near-term financials and maintain alignment with regulatory requirements.
It's worth acknowledging how the carriers have ended up in this spiral, particularly the top 20, who today collectively control over 65% market share, according to A.M Best via Nerdwallet.
- Demutualization shifted focus to a new shareholder profile. Over 200 mutual life insurance companies have demutualized since 1930. This trend includes major carriers who were either acquired or pursued direct public ownership, beginning around 2000, e.g., Prudential, MetLife, John Hancock, Mutual of New York, Manulife, Sun Life, Principal, and Phoenix Mutual.
- Disbanding of captive agent networks for cost reasons has also meant the loss of a (more) loyal distribution channel. The carriers that used to maintain captive agent networks enjoyed the benefits of a branded channel whose agents were motivated to promote the respective carrier's products. They chose instead to ...
- Shift to third party distribution, increasing dependency on a channel with less control, and where they face greater risk of commoditization. Placing life insurance products in a broad array of third-party channels, including everything from wealth management firms to brokerages and property/casualty networks, has added complexity and increased emphasis on managing intermediated, non-digital channels. This focus comes at a time when other sectors are accelerating the move to direct, digital selling, aligning with changing demographics, technology trends, and consumer preferences for digital-first, multi-channel relationships.
- Product cost and complexity has raised the bar to close sales and has increased the focus on a smaller base of the wealthy and ultra-wealthy. With the exception of basic term life, life insurance products can be complex. They can be expensive. And, as a decent level of insurance at a fair premium requires a medical exam including blood and urine sampling, it takes hand holding to get potential policyholders through the purchase process. For the high and ultra-high net worth segments, the benefit of life insurance is often as a tax shelter, not simply to protect loved ones from the catastrophic consequences of unexpected earnings loss. More complexity equals more diversion from the mass market.
- Intense focus on distribution has come at the expense of connecting with the client. Insurance company executives have long insisted - and behaved as though -- the agent is the client - if not in word then effectively in deed. The model perpetuated by the industry delegates the client relationship to the agent. This has its plusses and minuses for the client, and certainly has come back to bite the carriers as they contemplate a digital approach to the marketplace where client data and a branded relationship matter. Carriers certainly do not win fans with clients - overall Net Promoter Score ratings for the insurance sector broadly are even lower than Congress' approval ratings, and for at least one major carrier are reportedly negative.
- The number of licensed agents is on the decline. The average age of an insurance agent or broker has increased from 37 years in 1983 and is now 59, based on McKinsey data. Agents have a poor survival rate: only 15% of agents who start on the independent agent career path are still in the game four years later. Base salary is negligible and it's an you eat what you kill business. This is a tough, impractical career path for most, and has become less attractive over time.
- The industry is legendarily slow and risk averse. Think about actuaries - the function that anchors the business model makes a living by looking backwards and surfacing what can go wrong - a valid role, but the antithesis of what it takes to build a culture where innovation can thrive.
Here are innovation thought-starters to create value for an industry undergoing transformation:
- Clients must be at the center of strategy. Twentieth-century carrier strategy may have been grounded in creating distribution advantage and pushing product, but twenty-first century success will come to those who put the client at the center of all aspects of execution. "Client centricity" is a way of operating a business, not a slogan.
- Innovation starts with a new answer to the question, "who is the customer." The agent is a valuable partner, but s/he is not the client. There is white space in the mass market - the middle class - not being served by the current system beyond a limited offering. Life insurance ownership has been linked to the stability of the middle class. We should all be concerned with the decline in life insurance ownership and lack of attention paid to this segment.
- The orthodoxy, "insurance is sold not bought," sets a self-inflicted set of limitations that can and should be disrupted. The existing product set may have to be pushed to clients because of its complexity, pricing, target audience, channels and near-term performance dependencies.
- Getting the economics right and meeting the needs of today's clients will demand a digital-first offering - from being discoverable via SEO and social on mobile screens, to supporting application processing, self-service, premium payments, document storage and downloads, and connection to licensed reps whenever clients feel that is necessary. It will require full digital enablement of agents to create the right client experience, and favorably impact revenues and expenses. Ask anyone who has purchased life insurance about his or her decision journey, and invariably you will find out that shopping for insurance is a social, multi-channel experience. People ask people whom they like and trust when it comes to making important life event-based decisions. Aligning to how people behave already is a winning approach, and is what customer-centricity is about.
- In a world of big data, it's ironic that the insurance sector is one of the most sophisticated in its historical use of data. Winners will realize the potential of new data sources, unstructured data, artificial intelligence and the many other manifestations of big data to personalize underwriting, anticipate client needs and create positive experiences including multi-channel distribution and servicing. Amazon, Apple and Google have set the standard on what is possible in customer experience, and no one will be exempt from that standard.
- Life insurance products may be an infrequent purchase, but the need to protect one's loved ones can be daily. In today's product-push model, an ongoing relationship beyond the annual policy renewal is the exception. Consider the potential of prevention services as a means of boosting lifetime value and client loyalty. In a world full of insecurity, there is a role for an ongoing conversation about prevention and protection. But, the conversation must be reimagined beyond pushing the next product to one that places a priority on serving the client.

Lextar introduces high-efficiency photolithography LED light tube for clean rooms
Press release, staff reporter, DIGITIMES, Taipei [Monday 25 October 2010]
Oct. 25, 2010 - Lextar Electronics Corporation reveals today a series of new lighting applications, including the world's first high-efficiency photolithography LED light tube for clean rooms, high-brightness LED light tubes of 2,600 lm, ultra light and bright LED bulbs of 1,000 lm, and CCT adjustable flat panel light. The products will debut at the 2010 Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center from Oct 27 to 30. These innovative products will demonstrate the diversity of LED products and the technical strength of Lextar.
Lextar will display four main series of products: LED light tubes, LED bulbs/downlights, LED panel lights and COB (chip-on-board) light engines.
LED light tube series
In LED light tubes, Lextar introduces the world's first high-efficiency photolithography LED light tube for clean rooms. The novel product uses a technology that combines a special LED and a specially-made light tube lens with cut-off filters. It can filter wavelengths of less than 500 nm and its efficiency is double that of similar tubes made with amber LED which are currently on the market. It is the ideal lighting product for plants and clean rooms. As plants require long hours of lighting, using LED light tubes can save 50% of energy compared to traditional light tubes. For 24 hours of lighting a day, 100 LED light tubes can save around US$200 a month. It has a life-time of 40,000 hours, which is 7-10 times longer than that of traditional tubes. Another product, a high-brightness high-efficiency LED light tube of 2,600 lm, boasts the efficiency of 100 lm/W, and its high-brightness design extends its application to business environments with high ceilings, such as halls or factories. In addition, Lextar is introducing an ultra light plastic LED tube of 175 g, which is a breakthrough in LED lighting technology by the Lextar R&D team.
LED bulb/downlight series
In the bulb series, Lextar introduces an ultra light and bright LED bulb of 1,000 lm to replace the traditional 100 W incandescent bulb. Its power consumption of 12W saves up to 88% of energy compared to traditional bulbs. Its non-metallic heat sink reduces the weight to below 140 g, which leads to easier mounting. It establishes a new generation of specifications for LED bulbs in the industry. Lextar is also exhibiting a number of adjustable LED light sources, including a slim designed dimmable downlight module of a 2-cm thickness with a remote control, and a 4.5 W dimmable bulb, which demonstrate Lextar's full range of technology development in LED lighting applications.
LED flat panel light series
With years of R&D technology in TFT-LCD backlights, Lextar extends the LED backlight technology to lighting products. Lextar is exhibiting a 60 x 60cm CCT adjustable LED flat panel light with a remote control which offers color temperatures ranging from warm white to cool white. The user can adjust the color temperature according to the occasion, time and mood to create difference ambiences. LED panel lights emit a soft light produced by a secondary source. It creates a stable and soothing lighting effect which is suitable for offices, hospitals, schools and shopping centers.
COB light engine series
In addition to lighting applications, Lextar's COB light engine is a core component in lighting products. Lextar will showcase its mega high brightness 70W COB of 8,000 lm in the exhibition. In addition, COB light engine series of 4W, 6W, 10W, 70W and 100W will be on display in the exhibition, and product application ranges from low-power bulbs to high-power bay lights, street lights, architectural light and more. The features include high stability, long lifespan and multiple applications.
Lextar chairman and president David Su, states that the new products revealed at the Hong Kong International Light Fair are comparable to products from international brands in specifications and applications. The innovative products clearly demonstrate Lextar's all-round technology development in the lighting domain. The Lextar lighting R&D team is aggressively developing new technologies in LED lighting sources and light modules. Lextar also offers customized solutions to different markets and clients, including OEM and ODM services for international brands, as well as provides total solutions for light modules.
Posted on Oct 27, 14:06 by Moose Today LED performances are by far better than it used to be several years ago, but the main problem of LED lighting is initial investment. The ROI based on electricity consumption will take several years.

What is plutonium MOX fuel? The fantasies and the reality...
MOX is made from a mixture of plutonium and uranium oxides and is used in nuclear reactors in Japan, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, and France. Nuclear reactors normally burn enriched uranium fuel. When MOX is used, around 30% of the enriched uranium is replaced by the MOX fuel. The reason for the manufacture of MOX was a political one - the countries involved like Japan had to be seen to be doing something about their useless stockpiles of plutonium, produced by reprocessing spent nuclear fuel. To understand the history and rationale behind British Nuclear Fuel's (BNFL) production of plutonium Mixed Oxide Fuel (MOX) is one of the best ways to understand an industry living in a nuclear fantasy world, out of control, and oblivious to the reality of the deadly business they are involved in. * Fantasy: producing MOX fuel to burn in nuclear reactors will use up our growing stocks of plutonium. Reality: To eliminate the plutonium, MOX fuel must be reprocessed and re-used many times. This is expensive because each time the MOX is used and reprocessed, the quality of the plutonium is degraded, making it increasingly difficult to re-use. Also, the share of MOX in a reactor core is around 30%. The other 70% of the core contains enriched uranium fuel, in which new plutonium is formed. The result: a net increase of plutonium. * Fantasy: recycling nuclear fuel is a good thing. Reality: separating out plutonium at the Sellafield THORP plant creates 180 times the volume of waste that you start with. The highly radioactive by-products are held in inadequate storage facilities and discharges have made the Irish Sea the most radioactive in the world. * Fantasy: producing MOX will save nuclear waste storage costs. Reality: Spent MOX fuel is much more radioactive because it contains on average five times more plutonium than spent uranium oxide fuel. After 10 years, the heat generation from spent MOX fuel is twice as high as that of spent uranium fuel. After 100 years, it is three times higher. Given the very long half-life of Pu-242 (380,000 years), and Neptunium-237 (2.14 million years), it is much more complicated to store MOX than normal spent fuel. Instead of partially solving our high level waste problem, MOX creates even bigger waste problems: it needs more and longer cooling; it has to be stored much longer; it is more dangerous; and the costs are therefore higher. * Fantasy: it will be cheaper to produce Mox fuel than enriched uranium suitable for nuclear reactors. Reality: recent studies in Germany show that MOX fuel is four to five times more expensive. And that's before considering the reprocessing costs of separating the plutonium in the first place. * Fantasy: no additional safety concerns over MOX fuel. Reality: MOX in a reactor is more unsafe because plutonium is more reactive and this hotter fuel can cause increased localised melting of fuel in the reactor. Nuclear reactors have to be adapted and re-licensed. About 30% of the uranium fuel is replaced with MOX. Wrong size pellets can also vibrate or expand, rupturing the fuel pins and causing a meltdown. * Fantasy: the Sellafield MOX plant will be an economic benefit for the UK. Reality: The operation of the Sellafield MOX plant was forecast to make £200m profit. But the cost of building it was over £460m. * Fantasy: plutonium MOX is no threat to non-proliferation because, even if it was reprocessed, it would not be weapons-grade material. Reality: In June 1994, U.S. Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary declassified further details of a 1962 test of a nuclear device using reactor-grade plutonium, which successfully produced a nuclear yield. The British Government itself has recognised this test, as it used British reactor-grade plutonium from Sellafield. * So how are BNFL doing so far? The first shipment of MOX from Europe to Japan in 1999 ended in an international nuclear scandal. Crucial safety data of the MOX had been deliberately falsified by BNFL. The total cost of this episode to the taxpayer will be around £100 million... http://www.emfnews.org/store/immune-support-resistance.html

2009 UD Game Materials
I don't know many people who like the designs of the Upper Deck game-used cards at the tail end of 2000s (save 2010), but I do. The cards are very sharp and honestly just kinda neat. Like these from 2009. I also like the idea of the players initials and the "M" filled with the swatch. Such a simple idea, yet very effective in my eyes.
Here's what I've got:
