The Philly Queer Media Activism Series doesn't kickoff till March, but Philly KJ Sara Sherr is ready to raise awareness — and funds — for it with a karaoke bash tonight at Tabu.
Philly Queer Media founder Cathy Hannabach tells me that the series will run March 20 – April 22 in venues across Philadelphia. "It showcases work by media artists at the crossroads of queer political activism and queer media production, particularly work that foregrounds the intersections of race, class, disability, citizenship, sexuality, and gender identity/expression. Its goal is not just to increase the exposure and accessibility of queer and trans* media makers, but also to build community and foster conversations around oppression and activism."

Scandinavian design and mid century modern things are a classic even not to mention. But maybe we should mention it a bit and think outside the box we see these design pieces in? Lets take the Seven chair and the Ant chair for example, as they've been for so many years and decades, super popular for it's elegant lines. Most people buy these chairs to place around the dining table. The truth is, that these design pieces should also be thought of in different settings. The Danish brand Fritz Hansen, is one of these brands that do all the marketing and styling of their products superbly. Following their Instagram is inspirational everyday. They use their things to show their customers how amazing it would be, and can be, having these pieces in their homes. As a true believer in placing furniture in different way and thinking about them as multifunctional, I'm showing you in this post how your Seven or Ant chair can get a new life in different circumstances! If you have a few, there is no need in using them all together. Rather where they are at their best and in places you had never thought about putting them. The photos will inspire you to find your design chair a new place in your life. Read more.

* Canadian dollar at C$1.1172 or 89.51 U.S. cents * Bond prices higher across the maturity curve (Adds details, quotes, updates prices) By Leah Schnurr TORONTO, Oct 1 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar firmed against the greenback on Wednesday for the first time in five sessions as it recovered from a more than six-month low hit overnight, though analysts still expect there is more weakness in store for the loonie. The currency came into the first trading day of the fourth quarter sporting a loss of 4.7 percent over the span of the last three months, making for its worst quarter in three years. While the Canadian dollar has had a number of factors working against it, the main driver of its fall continues to be the rally in the greenback as the U.S. economy picks up and the U.S. Federal Reserve moves closer to raising interest rates. The loonie got a reprieve from that trend on Wednesday as mixed U.S. economic reports sapped strength from the greenback, said Mark Chandler, head of Canadian fixed income and currency strategy at Royal Bank of Canada in Toronto. "The thought is that if the U.S. dollar does at least stop appreciating, maybe it will take the pressure off commodity prices as well," said Chandler. But the day's gains likely only amount to a short-term breather, with RBC still expecting the currency pair to be at C$1.15 by the end of the year, he said. The Canadian dollar ended the session at C$1.1172 to the greenback, or 89.51 U.S. cents, stronger than Tuesday's close of C$1.12, or 89.29 U.S. cents. It hit a session low of C$1.1223 in overnight trade, its lowest level since late March. Having breached resistance at C$1.12 on Tuesday, analysts say focus is turning to whether the loonie will revisit 2014's low of C$1.1279, set in March. "Everyone is looking for that as a level that will either provide some resistance or a level that once we're through, really opens up another leg higher" for the U.S. dollar against the loonie, said Camilla Sutton, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank in Toronto. The market has little in the way of domestic factors to trade off, with the economic calendar light until Friday's trade balance data for August. The U.S. unemployment report, also due Friday, likewise will be closely watched. While a strong jobs report would support the U.S. dollar continuing to move higher, a disappointing report would make it difficult for traders to look past two weak labor reports in a row, Sutton said. The previous U.S. jobs report showed employers hired the fewest number of workers in eight months in August. Canada will not release its September jobs report until the following week. Canadian government bond prices were higher across the maturity curve, with the two-year up 4 Canadian cents to yield 1.102 percent and the benchmark 10-year up 59 Canadian cents to yield 2.078 percent.

Cassette port pinout
The cassette cable has a 5-pin DIN connector on one end, that plugs into the back of the CoCo; the other end has three earphone-style plugs, that plug into the EAR, AUX (or MIC), and REMOTE jacks. The remote-control plug is smaller than the other two. The other two are differentiated by color: the black one plugs into the EAR jack, while the grey one plugs into AUX.
Here is an ASCII drawing of that connector, including a pinout and showing how the pins are numbered. The drawing is of the connector at the end of the cable, with the pins pointing toward you. So if you are looking at the back of the machine, at the connector there, this pinout is backwards. My apologies for the wacky numbering; this is the same numbering as in the CoCo-1 technical manual.
------- Pin# Name Connects to / \___/ \ ---- ------- ----------------------------------- / \ / \ 1 CASSMOT SG stem | | 2 GND B stem, LG stem | 1o o3 | | | 3 CASSMOT SG tip o o \ 4 o 5 / 4 CASSIN B tip \ 2 / \ / 5 CASSOUT LG tip ------- B=black SG=small grey LG=large grey
The names are given from the perspective of the computer, so "OUT" means output from the computer, input to the cassette, and it should go into the AUX (or MIC) jack while the cassette is recording.
The "connects-to" column show which of the three earphone-style plugs the wire leads to, and to which part (stem or tip).
Below is another cheesy ASCII drawing, this time of one of those plugs. The cylindrical prong actually consists of two metal parts, separated by a narrow strip of plastic, drawn as "X"s. The stem section is much longer than the tip section, and the tip section has a groove around it, so that a spring loaded contact can hold it in place a little bit when it is inserted into a jack.
------------- | | | |------------xx-\ /--\ | | XX -- | | | "stem" XX "tip"| | | XX -- | | |------------xx-/ \--/ | | -------------
For both of the plugs that carry data (the large ones), the stem is connected to ground, and the tip is the data line.
For the motor-control plug (the small plug), it shouldn't really matter which of its two wires connects to its tip and which connects to its stem; you could just as easily connect 1 to SG tip and 3 to SG stem, and it should still work fine. These two wires are just connected together by a relay in the computer when it is time to let the motor run. The wiring shown here matches my cassette cable

I believe that one of the key areas that is many times overlooked when learning English in the U.S. is NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION. The signals and affirmations in non-verbal communication serve to indicate feeling, meaning and understanding. That is why facial expressions, voice, body language and movement are vital components to having a successful conversation that easily flows.
As the "Listener," your verbal affirmations add so much to the conversation. Think about it. If no one received responses to what they were saying, it would feel very much like speaking to yourself. I'm afraid it would make for a very lonely conversation.
Phew! (Communicates fatigue), we made it through Part 2. I want to mention that there are many more interjections than what I have listed. I felt that these are often said by the listener as much as by the speaker. In a later letter, I will include those most often used by the speaker in the conversation.
Take care,

Elizabeth chose a tribal, preppy chic ensemble that was ultra-conservative. She chose a printed sweater dress to wear over a collared shirt and a pair of tights. What do you think of this look? Play fashion critic in the comments and cast your vote in the poll!
It was recently rumored that this style-savvy sister would be playing the role of the most famous fictional fashionista ever, Carrie Bradshaw! Rumors spread earlier this summer that Elizabeth was being considered for the Sex and the City prequel.
Regardless, she's sure to make waves with her starring role in the film Martha Marcy May Marlene, hitting theaters July 10. In the film, Elizabeth plays a young woman who returns to her family after escaping an abusive cult. The new actress stars alongside veteran actors Sarah Paulson, who plays her mother Lucy, Winter's Bones star and Oscar nominee John Hawkes, and Hugh Dancy.

Definately Twilight Princess Zelda for Anime North, though I'm having trouble planning how to make her pauldrons, probably wire frame with painted leather like I did for a Glenn (Chrono Cross) cosplay years ago. That worked out rather well, unfortunately I don't have any pics from that, it was just a last minute Halloween costume when I had short hair and could still pull off crossplay.
Hopefully true form Midna, provided I can get wash out orange hair dye, since I'm going the whole weekend of AN. If anyone can suggest a good brand that's at least out in a few washes I'd be grateful. My hair's really long and naturally a tawny honey blonde colour, so I'm looking for something that won't dye permanently.
Possibly Robin Sena from from Witch Hunter Robin. My hair's nearly long enough to sit on, but if I braid it I can do her buns. All I'd need is enough gray and black fabric. If not Robin and Midna will be moved to another year.

Mom Peeping
by Silver Fox (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The shapely 36-year brunette stood with her ear to the door and was listening to the grunting noises coming from the other side. She knew it was her 14-year-old son on the other side, and deep down she knew exactly what he was in the process of doing, and it excited her.
She had told him she would be out shopping for quite a while, since her girlfriend was going to meet her at the mall and they were going to spend the afternoon shopping. But at the last minute she had gotten a call that she was going to have to go alone. She decided to at least get some groceries and left anyway. But she was back a lot earlier than her young son had expected.
He was sitting on the toilet seat, with his pants around his ankles and his stiff cock wrapped in his hand as he smelled a pair of his mom's panties he had retrieved from the clothes hamper. The first smell of the crotch made his cock twinge, as he inhaled the sexy aroma. That morning he had seen his shapely mom come out of the shower wrapped in a towel, but the towel was not around her tits. She had one around her waist, and one on her head as she was drying her hair while she went to her room. She had not seen him in his doorway just about to come out.
Kurt had seen both of his mom's delicious breasts with their proud and dark brown nipples, causing his cock to immediately erect in his pants. He had gone back into his room and relieved the pressure in his young balls as he recreated the picture of her luscious breasts in his mind. But when she left he became horny once more and decided to use her panties to get off. It was not known to him, he had done it quite often when she was gone.
The sexy aroma drove him to frenzy as his hand sped up on his cock. He knew he was going to cum soon, but wanted to prolong the feeling a little longer. He threw his head back and began moaning with the pleasure his hand was causing.
It was the moans and groans that had attracted his mother to the door. Her heart was beating like a tom-tom in her chest as she silently tried the knob on the door. Her heart skipped a beat as the knob turned in her hand. He had not locked the door. Kurt was too far-gone to notice that the door was open just a crack. But that opening was allowing his mom full view of what he was in the process of doing.
Karen let out a low gasp as she saw her son's cock being stroked by his fist. She let out another almost audible gasp when she saw her panties being sniffed by her young son. She felt ashamed of herself for spying on her own son during such a private moment. But the lack of sex since her divorce were a driving force and kept her at the door. She shivered as she felt some of her juices begin to run down her thighs, her panty crotch was completely soaked and could absorb no more as she witnessed the erotic scene before her.
Shamefully she lifted her skirt as she watched and slid a finger past the leg band of her bikini panties and contacted her wet slit. A low moan escaped her lips as her finger penetrated her labia and became instantly wet. Her knees weakened as her finger contacted her hard little clit.
Kurt was in the final throes of his pleasure. He was past the point of no return as he felt his nuts tighten and felt that familiar feeling in his belly deep down. His hand slowed and he looked down at the tip of his cock as the first spurt came out with such force that it splashed against the wall in front of him. It was followed by 3 more strong spurts as he loudly uttered, "Mom, Oh MOM mmmmmmmmm, ohhhh."
Karen let out a loud moan as her climax took over. The sight of her son's cock shooting so much sperm was too much for her. Her breath came in rapid gasps as she fought to catch her breath. Her knees buckled slightly causing her to fall towards the door with enough force that it flung it wide open. She quickly pulled her hand from under her skirt, but there she was in full view of her son. And he was in full view of her with his cock still oozing thick streams of cum down the shaft of his cock and over his fingers.
She quickly excused herself and grabbed the door and closed it. Her face was hot and flushed, her thighs were soaked with her orgasmic juices, and she wobbled as she went into her bedroom and shut the door. She leaned up against the door and felt so ashamed of violating her son's privacy. But at the same time the picture of his nice sized cock squirting out his young seed was etched into her mind. She quickly undressed and got into the shower. In there she again fingered herself to 2 more orgasms as she thought of what she had witnessed. The though of having sex with her own son was in her mind, but quickly dismissed as a shameful thought.
That night at the supper table neither one could look the other in the eye as they ate. After Karen went to her room and tried to sleep early, but the fire in her loans had to be quenched once again with her fingers before sleep would come. Little did she know that in his room across from her, Kurt was once again squirting to the thought of his mom having seen his cock. Sure for a while he was very embarrassed, but little by little the embarrassment gave way to excitement, and exhibitionistic thoughts. It was with the image of his mother's eyes on his cock that he shot out yet another huge load.
The next morning was Sunday and Karen didn't have to work nor was there school for Kurt. As she showered, her nipples became painfully erect by once again the image of her son the day before. She knew she had to apologize to her son for what she had done. Plus she sensed that he must really be so embarrassed that she really should do something to smooth it over. She dried her hair and applied a light coat of make up, and dressed only in her robe, she knocked on Kurt's door.
Kurt quickly pulled the sheet up over his hard cock, because he was once again stroking it towards relief. Now his mom wanted to come in, SHIT. He pushed his hard cock downwards so it was between his thighs and told her she could come in.
His mom came in and sat on the side of the bed facing him, causing her robe to part slightly enough for him to see a nicely shaped thigh. "Kurt," she began, "I want to apologize for spying on you yesterday."
"It's okay mom."
"No its Not, I shouldn't have."
"But I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with what you were doing."
"Gee mom can't we talk about something else?"
"We need to talk about it now Kurt."
He had hoped that his cock would go soft, but the sight of her thigh, and the smell of her freshly showered smell, plus she was talking of what happened all of those made his cock even painfully stiffer. His mother was slightly leaning forward causing the robe to allow him the sight of cleavage.
Karen realized that her robe had parted and her thighs were bare, so she stood and straightened her robe and pulled the belt tight again and sat back down on the bed. Her sitting down caused the bed to drop enough that his trick of pinning his hard on between his thighs failed, and his cock jumped up straight as an arrow, tenting the sheet.
The action immediately caught Karen's eye as she gasped aloud seeing the tent in the sheet.
"My god Kurt did I do that to you?" He couldn't answer, but knowing his mom was sitting inches away was making his cock painfully in need of release. "Kurt honey, do you need to do it now?"
"Do what mom?"
"You know....ah...stroke it."
"Gosh Mom!"
"What were you thinking of yesterday with my panties? Were you dreaming of seeing me naked?"
Karen grabbed the sheet and pulled it down, before Kurt even was aware of it he felt the cool air around his hard cock. Karen stared at the stiff instrument and sub conscientiously licked her lips. She couldn't believe her own actions as her hand crept over the sheet and wrapped itself around her son's hard cock. Kurt gasped and groaned at the same time as he felt his mother's warm hand grasp him.
"I can help you Kurt, you need relief, I'm sorry I did this to you."
But she wasn't really sorry, as a matter of fact her pussy was on fire just from the sight of his nice young cock and now she had it in her hand. Kurt let out a loud groan as his mother slowly began to stroke him.
"Does that feel good honey?"
"OHHHHH Yessssss Mom."
"Better than your own hand?"
"Lots better mom...mmmmmmmmm."
He had his eyes closed enjoying the intense feeling when all of a sudden the hand was gone. He opened his eyes to see his mother stand up and slowly slide the bathrobe off of their shoulders. In only a second his beautiful mom was standing at his bedside naked. His eyes went from her breasts to the neatly trimmed fur patch between her legs. He could see the puffy lips and the moisture drops clinging to the hair.
"Is this what you think about dear?" His mom smiled as she sat back down and once again wrapped her hand around his cock.
Kurt thought he had died and gone to heaven as he watched and felt his mom jerking him off as she sat naked before him. Then to his disbelief she leaned forward and blew air on the head of his cock, causing him to groan loudly. He stared as if in shock as he watched his mom lean closer and her pink tongue came out and licked a drop of pre cum from the tip of his hard cock. But he almost screamed when she opened her mouth and took the whole head of his cock in. He could feel her tongue swirling around and around as she began bobbing her head up and down.
Karen was so in lust she had to have his tasty cum in her mouth, she wanted to slowly suck him and make it last for them both, but the young boy was not used to such intense pleasure, and arched his back and thrust his groin up to her face as he released.
Each spurt from his cock was matched with a loud, "AAAAAAAAHHHH," from him. And each spurt was matched with his mother's "MMMMMMMMMMM," around his shaft as she swallowed spurt after spurt. It was at least twice as much as she had seen him shoot the day before. It seemed to last forever before his cock gave a final lurch in her hot, soft mouth and just began oozing.
The young woman stayed with her son's cock until there wasn't anymore to be had. She even squeezed the shaft and forced more into her mouth. Kurt felt the bed shake as his mother went into orgasm from her free hand at her wet pussy.
Even after she kept his cock in her mouth, and to her delight, she felt it start to soften, then reversed and got stiffer than before it seemed to her. Kurt could only stare as his mom straddled his hips and poised her wet hairy slit right over his new erection. Then he groaned as she dropped down and took him fully into her wet pussy.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhh Kurt you feel soooo good in meeeeee!"
And the young mother went into another climax as she felt her son's penis lurch inside of her and shoot yet another load of his seed deep into where he had originated from.
Something told her that this was just the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Kurt had the same feeling as he watched his mother, slip his cock out of her pussy and once again take it into her mouth!

The cultural scene in Dallas is about to explode again. The Perot Museum of Nature and Science, the latest edition to the thriving arts district, opens its doors to the world on Dec. 1, and, man, is the world going to be gobsmacked.
The 180,000 square foot facility, designed by 2005 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate Thom Mayne, is located at 2201 North Field Street, on the west side of Woodall Rogers Freeway.
Mayne and his firm designed the approach to the $185 million project, the entrance to which "leads through two native Texas ecologies: a forest of large native canopy trees and a terrace of native desert xeriscaping," according to the architect's statement, included in the museum's media packet. "The overall building mass is conceived as a large cube floating over the site's landscaped plinth (the lowest member of a base)."
In 2006, the Dallas Museum of Natural History, The Science Place and the Dallas Children's Museum merged to create the Museum of Nature and Science at Fair Park. In 2008, the five children of Ross and Margot Perot gave $10 million each to honor their parents and the 4.7 acre Victory Park, acquired in 2005 thanks to a $10-million grant from Hunt Petroleum.
The 2009 groundbreaking for the museum was followed by three years of construction, leading up to the official opening next month.
During media day on Wednesday, one of the Perot daughters spoke on behalf of her family.
"My siblings and I had, for a long time, looked for a meaningful way to honor our parents' legacy in Dallas and say 'Thank You' to the city that has been so terrific to our family and this seemed like the perfect fit," said Carolyn Perot Rathjen, who also serves as the chairman of the museum's board of directors. "My dad is an engineer. My mom is a teacher and they have a passion for education. Coupled with the amazing team that had been assembled, the campaign was fully underway. It was an easy decision for us to join a winning team. It's been a pleasure for all of us."
The Perot expects to attain three environmental designations, a LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council; Green Globes Certification from the Green Building Initiative; and Sustainable Sites Initiative, which emphasizes landscape and site design.
"Very few buildings in the U.S. have achieved two certifications, much less three," said Jennifer Scripps, director of business and partnership development for the museum.
The facility has a rainwater collection system that captures run-off into two 25,000-gallon cisterns. Metal pipes on the left of the grand entrance double as art and conduits to collect the rain, which will satisfy 74 percent of the museum's non-potable water needs and 100 percent of the irrigation needs.
The building also uses solar power to heat water. Its one acre roof features native plant materials that insulate the building and reduce city "heat island" effect.
The building features five floors of public space with 11 permanent exhibit halls, including a children's museum complete with outdoor play space and courtyard, and a state-of-the-art hall designed to host world-class traveling exhibitions.
Once inside, visitors can choose which way to begin their journey, either from the top down (recommended because you ride an escalator – see photo at left – on the outside of the building, allowing for spectacular view of the city) or you begin at the bottom and work your way up.
There are four levels of wonder, including the chance to stand on a platform during a "live" earthquake, interact with a real tornado (bottom right) and an opportunity to pit yourself in a foot race against a tyrannosaurus rex.
During media day, members of various design teams camped out on each floor to answer questions.
"This is a rare museum," said Andy Anway, President of Amaze Design of Boston. "I've worked on projects all over the country. When you have leadership like this museum has had, single-minded focus on first-class, world-class, from start to finish, it's been phenomenal."
Anway is also impressed with the way the museum presents scientific information.
"This is a reconnection with people to science in their lives," Anway said. "If you know how a deer does, you can know something about what a dinosaur does."
In the "Being Human" hall, Calen Kaut, a cellular microbiologist, hosts real-time laboratory experiments.
"Before this, I was in a lab and worked on a cure for diabetes," Kaut explained. "I came back from doing lab work where you're basically by yourself because I missed talking to people."
Kaut realizes she has so much to learn about her new "office."
"My grandma told me that the building is designed to be a limestone creek bed," she said with a laugh.
The opening weekend schedule is Saturday, Dec. 1, from. 10 a.m. until midnight and Sunday, Dec. 2, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
After opening weekend, regular hours are Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.; Sundays, noon until 5 p.m.
Ticket are $15 for adults; children ages 2-11, $10; students ages 12-17 and seniors 65 and older, $10.
For parking information, visit www.perotmuseum.org or call 214-428-5555.
Editor's note: Wear comfortable shoes. Take your camera. Although the museum officially opens Dec. 1, it might be best to delay your visit to avoid the gigantic crowds expected during the first few weeks.
If you don't eat at the museum cafe, the original El Fenix is just across the street.

text: Rocksmith is back with a look into their 2008 fall collection. Typically known for pushing the envelope on color use and cuts, the brand's space theme is relatively conservative compared to previous collections. The styles are a collision of futuristic interpretations with classic designs with an intended release date at worldwide retailers in mid-August.

When Dallas "Sallad" Bridgeman got to Houstons Country Roadhouse at 4:55 a.m., he expected the men's gold-medal hockey game to be a "ring-a-ding-dong-dandy."
And, depending on what that means exactly, he wasn't wrong.
Donning red and white gear from head to toe with a flag in one hand and a hockey stick in the other, Bridgeman — born on Canada Day — was the unofficial cheerleader at the bar, rousing the crowd of about 400 who came out to watch Team Canada shut-out Sweden yesterday to bring home the gold medal on the final day of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
"I'm a true Canadian hockey fan, through and through, and it wouldn't have mattered if we were down going into the third period," Bridgeman said as his voice took on a Don Cherry-esque cadence after a "couple of pops."
"I love all my Canadian players!"
The Moline native was shaking with excitement on Saturday in anticipation of yesterday's game.
"It's been a truly special month for me, but also for all Canadians out there," Bridgeman said after the final buzzer sounded, his voice hoarse from cheering. "Oh my goodness, back-to-back gold medals! We just proved we are the best hockey country in the world!"
He and his friends were a few of the hundred or so people who lined up outside the bar to take in Canada's win.
Once inside, the crowd basked in the glow of two large projectors. At times, people were tensely silent in the dance bar and only the sound of shredding ice and the broadcast announcers filled the room.
But the crowd's silence often gave way to bursts of cheering, cowbells and clapping at every breakaway and save by Canada.
Just as the low morning sunlight peaked through the single window into the night club, a countdown began as the game came to a close.
Sporting a bright red onesie and a cowbell, Darren Scribner was standing on his chair, shaking his noisemaker as loud as he could.
"It's epic, that's all you can say is it's epic," he said as crowds around him hugged and cheered while members of Team Canada accepted their hardware.
"It's something only a fan can dream of and only a player can dream of. This is it, this is Canada."
Houstons was one of more than 75 Manitoba bars given the green light to serve alcohol on Sunday morning, along with Montana's Cookhouse and Boston Pizza.
While some of the patrons were at the bar until last call only to return a short while later to continue drinking, some staff worked through Sunday morning and into the 6 a.m. opening.
Houstons bartender Faydra Veldhuisen was working all the way until Sunday morning's 2 a.m. last call, rested for just over an hour, and returned before 5 a.m. to prepare to get the drinks flowing again.
"It's not so bad right now," she said as the crowds started flooding out of the dark bar and into the early morning sunlight. "But I haven't stopped moving."
The massive crowd of early morning revellers smashed expectations for bar manager Darcy Paton. who was expecting around 150 fans to show up.
"Far bigger turnout than we expected," he said. "People were great, everyone was fantastic, so into the game.
"It's fantastic when people support things like this, it's great."

With the ever changing rules and regulations in the maritime industry those seeking to work on a boat are now required to have a TWIC card to receive documentation from the United States Coast guard and to enter a port facility.
What is a TWIC card? A TWIC card is a Transportation Workers Identification Card. You must apply for the TWIC card at one of the many designated locations around the country. The TWIC card is issued by the TSA. I find only about half of the TSA workers in the airports have a clue what the card is.
A TWIC card is the same size as a driver's license, and will include your picture and name on it. To obtain a TWIC card the TSA charges you 125$ although the prices are always subject to change if you do not already hold a MMD from the Coast Guard. If you already hold a MMD issued by the Coast Guard then the price is reduced to 105$ and is supposed to expire the same time as your MMD.
Mariners have been hijacked into part of the Department Of Homeland Security without being paid for it.
To receive the TWIC card one goes through a FBI background check to determine if he or she is a security threat. It is basically the same checks the Coast Guard does before they issue a MMD. The only difference I have been able to figure out is the Coast Guard concentrates mostly on criminal behavior that doesn't necessarily affect national security. The TSA is supposed to determine if you a security threat.
In general it is another fleecing of mariners by the government. The Coast Guard could easily add any criteria to the MMD checks and save millions of mariners 105$ on their already burdensome fees to maintain the documents necessary to work in the maritime industry. Alas it is required to enter a port facility or receive any required documents to advance you maritime careers.
The TWIC card is good for 5 years, and then you have to renew it. You go to a TWIC office, apply and then after about 8 weeks you will receive an E-Mail or a phone call that your card is ready. You then have to go back to the TWIC office and pick up your card and choose a personal password for your card. The password will be programmed into the magnetic strip on the back similar to a credit card.
For the most part there is no escape from this process. If you work on a small fishing boat that requires no documentation and that small boat works out of a port facility, even if you are not required to have the TWIC you will have to get it anyway just to get to the boat.
The original plan was that every dock in a port facility and every boat would have to have a card ready onboard to increase National Security. As I understand it the plan is no longer to have the card reader on every boat but ships may still be in the plans. After 3 years to date, not 1 port facility in the US has a card reader. The prototypes did not work. We simply stop at a check point on the way to the boat, present our TWIC cards and sign in. The same could be accomplished with the MMD card which also has a magnetic strip that could be programmed if a card reader is ever produced by the government.
Alas the TWIC card does nothing for the security of our ports and only further burdens mariners but it is required. If you want to work in the maritime industry go get your TWIC card at your earliest convenience.

It is hard leaving my girls, who I loved dearly and they love me dearly; and also the only son I ever had and loved, Gary (son-in-law). All of their patience, care and adoring love helped me through the past few years of my life while I lived with them in their home. I realize that I am leaving beh!

It is my request that there only be a celebration with friends to be held in October near my birthday, with laughter, music and food to share memories of my 75 years of life. Mark your calendars and celebrate. After all, I am at peace in my new life with my Lord. There are so many people from Parkwest Hospital and NHC who helped me during these past few years. Some who absolutely must be mentioned are my dear doctor, Edward Newman, all my friends at Fresenius Dialysis staff and patients, Barbara Mix (who if I didn't know better was my daughter) and Lou Godessa, my dear friend. I will think of each one of you every day and wait for your return. Please make any donations to the American Diabetes Association and the National Kidney Foundation to find cures for the diseases I fought for 10 years. Love to all of you!" Click Fun!

LANTZ, MARY RUTLEDGE JOHNSTONE - passed from this life as a result of an injury suffered in a fall on June 8, 2008 at her home in Powell. She was 94. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, August 4, 1913, Mary was raised by a loving family and surrounded by numerous cousins in the sea island culture of Edisto Island, South Carolina. She graduated from Winthrop College where she was one of three best athletes in her senior class. Her passion for sports and sharing led her to teach biology and physical education in Ruffin, Couth Carolina, and to include coaching women's high school basketball in Huntsville, Alabama and in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Together with Paul Milton Lantz, her husband of 61 years, she raised her two daughters, Fran and Nan to be good Carolina low-country women, i.e., "eat rice and worship their ancestors." She also taught them to ride horses, to love swimming and to care for others. She influenced countless others through community swim classes with the Red Cr!
oss and through her church, St. Thomas Episcopal, of which she and Paul were charter members. Her zest for life and love of people were evident even in her seventies and eighties when she was director of the Wee Care day care center at St. Thomas. Mary's love of family near and far was more than family by blood. Her love for her St. Thomas family never faltered and she embraced each new person who crossed the church's threshold. She maintained much of her physical strength, athleticism, and agility until the last 10 years of her life, when even then swimming with church and neighborhood buddies in the backyard pool was one of her happiest pleasures. Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Paul; and her little brother and sister, Francis Winthrop Johnstone, Jr. and Sarah Legare Johnstone Ackerman; as well as her parents, Mary Caroline Townsend Johnstone, Francis Winthrop Johnstone, Sr.; and stepmother, Della Hills Johnstone. She is survived by daughters and sons-in-law, F!

Video Hotspots "Link" Directly to Sales
Now that eVideo has been shown to come as close as possible to bringing the retail shopping experience online, it's also been made simpler than ever for business users to feature on their sites. In a few clicks of the mouse, anyone (really!) can upload, transcode, edit, manage and stream video content online. And now, video sets and new 'clickable video hotspots' can augment the customer-facing experience--upping the time consumers spend online and consequently spiking conversion.
Okay, but what are clickable video hotspots you ask? Clickable video hotspots take the guesswork out of shopping for consumers by enabling them to "click" on video clips, captions or graphics of interest and link to external references (with more info or a way to buy). For the business user, it's simple to create this cutting-edge effect, with drag-and-drop elements that make it easy to add things like pop-up messaging. Delivering information about your product's availability, inventory level, and color or size options, will captivate your audience and help them reach a purchase decision more quickly--an unstoppable combination!
Don't just take it from us though, a recent survey of US marketers by PermissionTV ranked interactive video experiences as the top future trend in online video.*
By now you're likely imagining how interactive video can help bridge the gap between your products and the purchase decision.

Stretch It: Seated T-Hip Stretch
Between sitting, running, biking, or driving a long commute, most of us suffer from tight hips. The seated T-hip stretch lengthens tight glutes as it opens the hips. It is a more intense variation of Double Pigeon, so ease into this move.
- Sit on the floor with both legs out in front of you. Bend your left knee so it's parallel with your torso. Then bend your right knee and place it on top of your left ankle (and your right ankle on top of your left knee), coming into Double Pigeon.
- Now use your hands to help wiggle your feet away from each other, keeping your shins in one straight line, and making a T-shape with your legs. Flex your feet, lean forward, and press your palms into the inside of your ankles.
- Hold there for at least 30 seconds and then release. Then straighten your legs out in front of you and do this pose with your right knee on the bottom.
