BALTIMORE, MD – Grab your cape and get ready to celebrate the superheroes of Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital (MWPH) at the third annual Storybook Gala. Last night, Storybook Gala chair Lauren Perlin announced that the event will be held on May 7, 2016 at the Renaissance Harbor Place Hotel. Amid superhero tribute music, the gala's logo and event elements were revealed to a room full of event volunteers. Perlin also announced that Ruth's Chris Steak House has come on board as the Presenting Sponsor.
"I am delighted that this year's theme reflects the super powers of Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital," said Perlin who is a member of the hospital's foundation board and whose daughter receives therapy services at MWPH. "From the hospital staff and patients to the sponsors and volunteers, everyone will be celebrated as a superhero at the Gala in May."
Last year more than 600 guests gathered for the second annual Storybook Gala, which was moved to Baltimore County four days prior as events unfolded in Baltimore City. Hospital supporters showed their support with an increase in both attendance and event proceeds. The event raised $188,000 – an increase of 70% from the event's inaugural year – and will be used to support patients receiving inpatient and outpatient services. More than half of MWPH's patients receive some form of medical assistance.
"Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital provides critical healthcare services to our most precious resource – our kids – and we are delighted to be associated with this premier specialty hospital," said Jim Mitich, Big Steaks Management President and COO. "Ruth's Chris Steak House values being part of the community and the partnership with MWPH is a natural fit."
The 2016 Storybook Gala will include dinner and dancing, a silent auction and special "Fund-A-Wish" appeal, as well as other superhero elements such as a toy and clothing drive. Additional sponsorship information can be found here. Please like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and Instagram to remain updated on Gala happenings. Tickets will go on sale in January.

I stayed for 2nights to attend a wedding party at the nearby golf club. Hotel is spacious, nice furniture and clean. When I checked in there was only one staff at the counter so there was a short line. Staff is nice and helpful. Breakfast is fine, but not enough refill. Walking distance to a small mall with Walmaer, Walgreen, pizza, Burger king, etc. is great. There used to be a free shuttle from West Palm Beach airport but recently discontinued. I took a taxi spent $25 took 8 minutes.

Bryce Harper's prodigious home run in Tuesday night's win against the Toronto Blue Jays has him firmly on track for an All-Star Game appearance at 19.
And in the postgame scrum, he showed the ability of a seasoned veteran to deflect an inane question from an apparent media member.
A Toronto-based reporter - probably representing a north-of-the-border "Wacky Morning Zoo"-type radio show - asked Harper if he'd be celebrating his home run with a Canadian beer, what with the drinking age being 18 in the True North Strong And Free.
Photos: Bryce Harper, baseball's chosen one
A member of the scrum, perhaps a Washington Nationals media relations member, stepped in to note Harper can't drink legally in the USA, but by then Harper was shaking his head in a manner that suggests, "I got this."
And he thusly replied: "That's a clown question, bro."
Well put.
If Harper continues this pace for the next, oh, two decades or so, perhaps that catch phrase will appear on a plaque in Cooperstown.
And if social media is an indicator of catch phrases, Harper's response was the highest trending topic on Twitter for a brief time. Shortly thereafter, T-shirts with the slogan were available online.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

Justin Bieber to Play Robin in 'Batman Vs. Superman?'
Say what?!
Will Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill have a co-star in Justin Bieber for Batman Vs. Superman?
On Friday, the Biebs posted the following on Instagram:
If that wasn't enough to confuse Beliebers, Batman and Superman fans, the Canadian singer captioned the photo with "#robin."
Earlier in the day, Bieber, 19, also told his nearly 45 million Twitter followers that he was "Off to do something funny or… die :)," referring possibly to a new sketch for the folks at Funny or Die.
Are the two announcements related? C'mon Bieber, just take off your shirt and tell us!
In other Bieber news, the "Boyfriend" hit maker will take his Believe tour to Asia later this month, with the first show set for Singapore on Sept. 23.
Batman Vs. Superman, with or without Justin Bieber, opens in 2015.

Chanukah Cake
A quick throw together cake for a family dinner and pre-hanukah celebration. I found my inspiration for this one from someones post on flickr (sorry i don't remember who) the image stuck in my mind, and i used it for the top of the cake. I'm usually a fondant girl, but this time, i covered it in butercream only. I don't feel comfortable with buttercream b/c i never get a silky smooth finish. The design was also piped with buttercream. Inside was alternating layers of coconut and hazelnut buttercream. What i didn't take a pic of are the coins on the sides on the cake, since the dreidel game is a gambling sort i though coins would be appropriate :-) Happy Holidays to all. TFL

India A looking to repeat their performance in second unofficial one-day game against West Indies A
Skipper Yuvraj Singh stole the limelight with a breathtaking century to guide India A to a thumping 77-run win over the visitors in the opening match of the series on Sunday, and come Tuesday the hosts would be looking for an encore.
Their confidence on high after the comprehensive win in the opener, India A would look to seal the three-match unofficial ODI series against West Indies A in the second 50-over game between the two sides at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday.
Skipper Yuvraj Singh stole the limelight with a breathtaking century to guide India A to a thumping 77-run win over the visitors in the opening match of the series on Sunday, and come Tuesday the hosts would be looking for an encore.
All eyes were trained on Yuvraj on Sunday after he was handed a lifeline to return to the ODI team by being named captain of the India A team. And the dashing left-hander grabbed the opportunity with both hands and staked his claim for a national berth by scoring a brutal 89-ball 123 against the hapless Caribbeans in the opening match.
Yuvraj produced a sensational exhibition of strokeplay by hitting eight fours and seven sixes in his scintillating innings to help India raise 312 for four after being put to bat in the match which was reduced to 42-over-a-side affair due to two-hour delayed start on account of wet outfield.
India 'A' then bowled out the visitors for 235 in 39.1 overs, giving the home side a 1-0 lead in the series.
Come Tuesday, India A, a team on a roll after the clean sweep against New Zealand A, would be hoping to carry on the winning momentum in their future matches.
During his dazzling knock on Sunday, Yuvraj shared two hundred runs partnerships with Mandeep Singh (67) and Yusuf Pathan (70 not out), who played perfect second fiddle to the left-hander.
Just like Yuvraj, Yusuf -- who is also looking for a comeback to the ODI team -- displayed his attacking skills and tore apart the West Indies bowling attack to score his runs off just 32 balls with the help of four boundaries and six hits over the fence.
And come Tuesday, both Yuvraj and Yusuf would be hoping for repeat performances to catch the eyes of national selectors.
But openers Robin Uthappa and Unmukt Chand, both of whom excelled against New Zealand A, failed to replicate their form in the opening match against the Caribbeans. And the duo would be hoping to return among runs which will ensure a rollicking start for the hosts.
Uthappa, who is in ODI exile, in particular would be hoping an improved showing with the bat to catch the eyes of national selectors ahead of the limited overs series against West Indies and South Africa.
In experienced Irfan Pathan and Praveen Kumar's absence, the Indian bowling attack led by R Vinay Kumar lived upto expectations in Sunday's match.
With a cushion of 312 runs to defend, the pressure-less Indian bowlers stuck to a disciplined line and length against Caribbean batsmen on Sunday.
The quartet of Vinay Kumar, Sumit Narwal, Rahul Sharma and Yusuf Pathan scalped two wickets apiece to bowl out West Indies A for 235 runs.
And Yuvraj would be expecting similar performances from his bowlers on Tuesday.
The West Indies A, on the other hand, who performed well during their home series against Sri Lanka-A in June, will look for improvement.

Tyrone record easy win over Limerick
As expected Mickey Harte's Tyrone launched their back-door All-Ireland journey with a comfortable win over Limerick in Omagh.
The final score was Tyrone 1-14; Limerick 0-7.
The visitors lacked nothing in effort and a battling first half performance saw them trail by just two points at the break (0-6; 0-4) despite having two players black carded.
The home side upped the ante in the second half and had already secured their place in the next round by the time Peter Harte palmed the ball to the Limerick net three minutes into stoppage time.
Tyrone again look the team that everybody will want to avoid in the next round of the qualifiers.

Careful planning is the name of the game these days for people considering law school. The overall percentage of new grads employed has fallen every year since 2007, with just under two thirds of the class of 2011 finding jobs that require bar passage, according to NALP--the Association for Legal Career Professionals.
Fewer than half of those jobs were at law firms, and far more graduates than in past years found positions in smaller or mid-size offices instead of large firms, which often offer higher pay. Overall, the median starting salary for 2011 grads working full time fell to $60,000, down about 5 percent from a year earlier. Starting pay at law firms fell even further--to $85,000 from $104,000.
Given the sobering numbers, experts say that you should begin your law school search by getting a genuine sense of what lawyers do and a clear idea of what you hope to accomplish with a law degree. To help prospective applicants navigate the rest of the process, U.S. News pitched six key questions to several dozen professors, attorneys, and law students.
[See the 2014 Best Law Schools rankings.]
1. Will it be easier to get in this year? Earning admission is still a competitive process that hinges on an applicant's credentials, including LSAT score.
But over the past two years, the number of law school applicants is down more than 22 percent, according to preliminary data from the nonprofit Law School Admission Council. And early data for fall 2013 suggests the numbers could fall another fifth this year alone.
Roughly half of law schools have reduced their incoming class sizes for fall 2013, according to a November 2012 Kaplan Test Prep survey. Still, "for most students, it should be much easier to get in to the law school of their choice than in any year in recent memory," says Frank Wu, chancellor and dean of the University of California Hastings College of the Law.
Fewer applicants overall means that those with lower credentials might have a better shot at getting in at a reach school. "Schools will be dipping much deeper into the pool than they would have in the past," says Brian Tamanaha, professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis School of Law and author of Failing Law Schools.
Financial aid packages could get better, too. Forty-seven percent of law schools increased aid to students for 2012-2013, according to the Kaplan survey.

2. Should you work first? The verdict, from admissions counselors and hiring partners: Work experience can only help. The job doesn't have to be in the legal field to impress admissions, though working as a paralegal or volunteering for a legal nonprofit can give prospective students a reality check.
Recruiters, too, tend to look favorably upon a substantial résumé. "Firms like that because they're seeing people ... who are ready to hit the ground running from day one," says Richard Batchelder, a partner who leads hiring at Ropes & Gray. About two thirds of the firm's most recent summer associate classes have taken some time off to work before law school, he says.
3. What should you look for in the curriculum? Partners and other people who hire new attorneys are demanding hands-on experience--grads who not only know the principles of corporate law, but who have actually done project work for local small business owners, for instance.
A number of law schools have overhauled their curricula accordingly, expanding clinical courses, beefing up specialized classes on leadership, and adding interdisciplinary and joint degree programs.
Experts advise students to shop around for programs that are strong in experiential opportunities, such as interning with a local judge or working with low-income clients through a legal aid society. Students at Washington and Lee University School of Law, for instance, take an all-experiential third year.
[Check out photos of the top law schools.]
4. When is it smart to go part time? If you do, expect to be in class for a few hours on weekday evenings for four straight academic years and usually at least one summer. Going this route while working will almost certainly leave you very little time for internships, extracurriculars, and volunteering.
If your goal is to be a lawyer at a big firm, a part-time strategy might actually handicap you, since most large firms prefer to hire entry-level associates who have had a summer post with them or a comparable firm. Weigh how good a job a part-time program will do of putting you in front of employers and the employment data on record for graduates.
Going part time will not necessarily be any cheaper. At the Georgetown University Law Center, for instance, a full-time student's total tuition bill in 2012-2013 was $146,505 ($48,835 times three) versus a part-time student's $147,050 ($1,730 per credit hour, with 85 credit hours required to graduate).
5. What will raise the odds of finding a job? Now that the American Bar Association requires law schools to report more detailed employment data about graduates--such as how many landed full-time, long-term jobs that require bar admission--aspiring students can get a better sense of their prospects.
Such data are a significant component of the U.S. News Best Law Schools rankings; we surveyed the schools directly for this information at graduation as well as at nine months out.
Where you go will matter when it comes to the endgame--not only in terms of a law school's prestige, but also because of the connections institutions have to local clinical and externship opportunities and employers. At about 60 percent of all ABA-accredited law schools, at least 2 out of 3 employed 2011 graduates found jobs in the state where they studied.
Once you're in school, get set to do some serious résumé polishing. Developing skills like financial literacy, getting some project management experience, and adding specialized legal training can be deal-clinchers in the eyes of employers.
6. How can you cut costs and minimize debt? Most students borrow to pay at least part of the tab, but advisers say keeping the debt load to a minimum--and in line with a reasonable salary projection--should be a priority. Public law school graduates who borrow average about $75,700 in loans, while private law grads borrow nearly $125,000, according to the most recent ABA statistics.
Student loan calculators, such as the one at FinAid.org, can help you get a sense of the monthly payments, including interest, and what salary would be required to pay the money back over certain time periods. If scholarship offers don't meet your expectations, experts point out that this is an opportune time to try to negotiate.
Prospective students should also explore schools' loan repayment assistance programs, as well as those offered by the federal government and certain states. Those who work in certain public-interest jobs might qualify for total loan forgiveness after 10 years of employment and on-time payments.
More than 100 law schools offer their own version of loan repayment assistance programs, or LRAPs, according to Equal Justice Works (which writes a student loan blog for U.S. News). The University of Virginia's School of Law, for example, will cover 100 percent of the payment amount for public-interest workers making $55,000 or less annually.

Diabetes Causes: "O is for Outrage" Campaign
"O is for Outrage" Diabetes Post card campaign was created by the IDF (International Diabetes Federation) to help us convince President Barack Obama to attend the UN Summit (September 19-20) on Non-Communicable Dieases, i.e diabetes. People die from lack of insulin and diabetes complications, too many limbs lost due to diabetes, millions that can not afford diabetes care and millions of people living with diabetes in the United Sates of America. President Obama needs to and should attend the UN NCD Summit-diabetes is an epidemic and it needs to be addressed at the UN NCD Summit.
It takes a community to advocate for diabetes and the people living with it….it takes a world to rally around the cause for us to be heard. We cannot do this alone. Please create a postcard and the IDF will print and mail the postcards to President Barack Obama. Please spread the word.

Description: [Bernstein] enables us to see what remains the same, even as much has changed: Henry VIII had William Tyndale burned at the stake for making the Bible available in English; today, dictators and their henchmen beat up and murder protestors by the hundreds, likewise (simply put) to maintain control of information." Library Journal (Editors' Pick)In his new book, William J. Bernstein, the celebrated author of A Splendid Exchange, chronicles the history of media, starting with the origin of writing thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia. The revolutionary tool gave rise to the world's ancient empires. And when Phoenician traders took their alphabet to Greece, literacy's first boom led to the birth of drama and democracy. But it's not just new communication technologies that have changed the worldit's access to them. Vernacular bibles gave rise to religious dissent, but it was only when the combination of cheaper paper and Gutenberg's printing press drove down the cost of books by 97 percent that the fuse of Reformation was lit. The Industrial Revolution allowed information to move faster and farther than ever before, though it concentrated power in the hands of those who ran radio and TV stations, large newspapers, and then, totalitarian governments. With the twenty-first century boom of the mobile Internet, control of media has again spread, and the world is both more connected and freer than ever before. An utterly captivating, enlightening book, Masters of the Word will change the way you look at technology, human history, and power.An accessible, quite enjoyable, and highly informative read that will hold surprises even for those familiar with some of the history he covers."Booklist[Bernstein's] narrative is succinct and extremely well sourced."Irish Times

Photos. GOOD ONES. Take 'em and post 'em. Because all the awesome blogs have 'em.
Sure, it's about content. If you're boring, you're boring. All the great photos in the world won't make you interesting if you don't have a compelling story to sell in the first place. It doesn't matter how great an editing job you do on a picture of a rock, it's still just a picture of rock. Obviously, subject matter counts.
But assuming you are super sparkling and adorable and amazing and folks hang on your every (written) word, it's time to back that shit up with some phantasmagoric photos. Because the words are what draw them in, but it's the pictures that are going to get pinned and shared and tweeted like crazy, and that's the good stuff that drives up your traffic.
With that in mind, a fair while back I made an investment in the blog (and in myself) and bought a new camera. The old one, a little Fuji point-and-shoot, had done me well over the years and taken some of my favourite photographs ever. But it was feeling its age and if I wanted to get serious about this 'ole blog of mine (which I do) I needed a camera with a bit more range, so I took advantage of the post-holiday discounts and purchased myself a Canon T3i Rebel, which seems to be the "go to" camera for bloggers like moi. I call him Jimmy.
These past few months that Jimmy and I have been in a committed relationship have been some of the happiest of my photographic life. He's so versatile, so sophisticated and yet so easy to handle... quite the catch for a gal like me. But even Jimmy can't fully overcome the challenges of bad lighting, and a few days of cloudy, overcast weather a few weeks back brought the idea screeching home: in order to take better, consistent photos, I needed to be able to control the sun.
...... { crickets } ......
Upon further investigation it would seem this is impossible. Fartskittles.
So I did the next best thing: I built myself a light box!
Boo-yah! I did so. I seriously never make, craft or DIY anything, you guys, and I totally did this all by myself. And YOU CAN TOO!
In just 10 easy steps, you can control the sun in your very own home and take the awsmazing photos you've been dreaming about. Here's how:
STEP ONE | Collect your "ingredients"
You'll need:
- White tissue paper
- Ruler
- Box cutter or heavy duty Xacto knife
- Double-sided tape (or regular Scotch tape would do just fine, too)
- Clamp-on work light x 2 or 3 (though if you have a few desk lamps hanging around, these will work just fine too)
- Duck tape
- Sharpie marker
- Self-adhesive Velcro
- Light bulbs (I suggest using 100w "daylight" bulbs, which offer a clear white light)
Oh, and you'll also need a box, one that's at least 12" x 12" x 12" but larger is better (and easier to work with.) Depending on the condition of your box (better is better), you might want to reinforce the back seam with duck tape before proceeding to Step #2.
STEP TWO | Measure
On each of the solid sides of the box (all four, if you're me, or two sides and the top if you prefer) and along all four flaps, measure two (2) inches from all four edges and mark with a pencil (which I forgot to include in the fab photo of things you'll need... my bad. The Sharpie would work too.)
When you've marked each edge the requisite two inches, it's time to....
STEP THREE | Connect the dots
You should end up with an inner box on each side that gives you a solid (and equal) framework all around the outside.
STEP FOUR | Pull an Uncle Joey and...
All of your inner boxes, and the flaps too. Cut it all out. You won't need these cardboard inserts for anything down the road (to do with the light box) so go ahead and discard/recycle them. Unless you're crafty or whatever, then by all means keep them for.... whatever it is you might do with them. I'm not crafty so I don't know. But I assume it's something awesome.
Moving on.
It should look like this (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) when you're done:
STEP FIVE | Time to Tape
First, you'll want to fold your two-inch flaps down over one another and tape them together to create a "lip" similar to your other 3 or 4 sides, like so...
Then, if you've got some spare time and really wanted to, you could reinforce all the edges with your duck tape. This takes a bit of time and you can totally skip this part. I totally did (except the flaps, that is; that shit's mandatory.)
STEP SIX | Grab a Tissue
I used white tissue paper from the dollar store, which is huge... 20" x 30" maybe? I'm not sure exactly, but I bought it because it's cheap and plentiful. I suggest you do the same but it's your call.
Take up between three and five sheets of tissue paper for one side (the more paper you use, the less opaque the sides will be, which strangely makes the inside of the box much "whiter" than with fewer sheets, which is weird and I can't explain it, since I'm neither a scientist nor an electrician, but you can trust me that it's true.)
Trim your tissue paper to roughly the size of your cut-out, ensuring that the paper overlaps the edge by at least an inch. Fasten the paper to the box at each corner with your double-sided/Scotch tape to hold it in place, then tape each side corner-to-corner with duck tape.
Full disclosure: I fully forgot to take photos of this step because I got really excited when it was happening and totally engrossed, and I'm an asshat. So just refer back to Step #5 and check out the pic of the flaps being taped down, because it's essentially the same thing except there's tissue paper involved.
Here, I know you're lazy. I am too, so I'll do you a solid.
See what I did there? Supported your laziness AND recycled!
You're welcome.
And here's a shot from when I DID actually remember to take one, in which the light box is totally done but I've captioned it like I meant it to reflect the process of fastening the diffuser (by which I mean the the tissue paper, in case my talkin' fancy got you confused,)
So you see what I mean.
STEP SEVEN | Congratulate Yourself
You've just made a light box!!
That's pretty badass, dude. Seriously. Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a big high-five, because that's just awesome.
And yes, high-fiving yourself winds up looking more like clapping so yeah.... you could be applauding yourself also. Or at the same time. Two birds and all that.
Whatever. It's all good. Manhandle yourself however you like to congratulate yourself because dude? You've done good!
STEP EIGHT | Set Up Your Studio
The beauty of a little light box like this is that you can set it up virtually anywhere in your house that you have a flat surface and access to electrical sockets. For purposes of demonstration I hijacked my dining room table, and have refused to move ever since. The family is less than thrilled but that gigantor floor lamp that I hoisted up on top to serve as my overhead light is freaking heavy, so I have no intention of hauling it up and down every time I want to take a snapshot of something.
No. Waaaaay.
Once I get my office into semi-decent condition (and get a desk, which is critical to the operation), I'll move it upstairs and out of everyones' way. Until then, it stays put.
Sidebar: Does anyone have a desk for sale? I'm in the market.
But I digress.
Basically, you need to set up your box on a flat surface that gives you flexible camera angles and allows you to position your lights as required. This is also why my dining room table is perfect, since the clamp lights are the exact perfect height when fastened to the back of my dining room chairs.
See how bright it is on the inside? That's the good stuff right there. Clear, even lighting on all sides is what you're looking for, to minimize shadows and highlight details. You can't see from the photo above but all four sides of my box are fixed with a diffuser in the event I want to do any top-down (overhead) photo shoots in future. This isn't necessary, but it does give me added flexibility.
And there's nothing I like better than bending things to my will.
Except maybe dill pickle chips. But again, I digress.
The beauty of having diffusers on all four sides also allows me use my light box horizontally or vertically.
Just more options. I'm all about options.
STEP NINE | Backgrounds Are The Bomb
You can use whatever you want as a background: Bristol board, fabric, plastic sheeting.... whatever strikes your fancy. I like a charcoal grey Bristol board in matte finish, but that's just me. You can use whatever you want and in fact, you can set up your box to allow you to have multiple backgrounds that you can swap out according to your moods and what you're photographing.
This is where the self-adhesive Velcro comes in.
Cut your backgrounds down to size: the edges should sit flush against the side edge-to-edge, but have some excess at the bottom (as pictured above.) Once you're happy with the fit, fasten a strip of Velcro to the top of your background, about one inch below the edge. Then, fasten the husband Velcro to the strip on your background, and peel off the adhesive. Press the background into your box to allow the husband to adhere to your box. When you're ready to change out, simply separate the Velcro and Bob's your uncle!
For additional backgrounds, reverse engineer this process. Fasten a new strip of wife Velcro to the husband already in the box, remove the backing, then press your new background onto the strip. Separate as described above.
Again, I'm an asshat who forgot to take photos but take my word for it: it works. And it's super simple. If I can figure it out, you totally can. I'm not just saying that.
STEP TEN | Take Badass Photos of Awesome Shit
Seriously. Start shutterbugging!
Remember these photos?
Courtesy of Juanathan, La Light Box. And there's more to come..... oooooooooh, there's more.
And there you have it! You've just created with your own two hands a way to make your photos ten times better, all in about an hour and a half and a hundred bucks worth of materials. I'm sure you can make one for cheaper, or faster. More power to you if you can. And I know I'm not breaking any sort of revolutionary ground here with these instructions -- I did Google it, after all, so you know.... it's "out there." But if you didn't know how and really wanted to, I hope you found this helpful!
PS | The story of Juanathan is this: During a recent episode of the Property Brothers (which is a guilty pleasure that I watch occasionally even though I find the premise completely implausible) Jonathan attempted to convince a couple to name their soon-to-be-born offspring after himself. Jonny, John, Jonita (if it was a girl)... all excellent proposals.
And then he came out with Juanathan (Hwahhhh-nathan) and I seriously laughed for five straight minutes. Juanathan tickled my funny bone something awful. Juanathan is fucking hilarious.
So when I decided to make a light box of my very own, I had an epic OMG moment when I realized I could use the much-coveted mustachioed duck tape I've been trying to weasel into the house for years (but since I'm not handy and never DIY, there never was a good time. You can understand why.) HERE was the perfect opportunity, and what better to name a mustachioed light box than...
And thus my mustachioed friend was born.
How do you feel about DIY'd photo props and accoutrements? Would you use them, and have you built them? I'm looking for a new challenge so hit me up with your amazing projects!

In that environment there is no conviction to solve a problem, this way or the other, and to go all along to solve this problem. Rather there is a muddle through thinking, with a constant propaganda of declaring victory and interpreting reality in your favor. Besides, I don't believe, that the "tradition" or "culture" of your enemies or a region, should influence the way you solve problems or to lead wars. I rather believe, that if there is a problem and you can't live with it, it needs to be solved. And if you can't solve it tomorrow early in the morning for once and for all, you need to have a plan to solve it deadline at the end of the week. [/quote] Today Morsi declared himself new Pharao of Egypt, with all powers to control as he, and his muslim brotherhood / salafist movement, decide. Egypt is going to turn into a sharia led entity, controlled by religious leaders, which are bound for the destruction of Israel. Morsi's muslim brotherhood / salafist movement = Hamas ! These two organisation are intertwined, one came out of the other. This is one example of unintended consequences (I talked above) of your own action: So we are all happy about this ceasefire and the stop of "killing of poor little Gaza babies". Because the next time it is against a broader Hamas movement, reaching from Gaza city up to the pharao of the pyramids. So Bibi, have fun with that, I will look forward to you declaring victory when Jerusalem and Tel Aviv are in ashes. [/quote] And you know, the Brotherhood said that a cease fire should have never been accepted. The Brotherhood declares that they must work for the destruction of Israel. There are those that say Israel backed off from going into Gaza cause Morsi threatened to go to war. I think Morsi was just not prepared to go last week. Give him a month and he will be ready. This power grab just helps him go to war without needing others to agree also. I will maintain my premise that Bibi has a plan and has always had a plan to save Israel from Iran. That plan worked for phase I without a regional conflagration and preserved a tenuous relationship with all surrounding nations. There is only one or two more phases, the next would be called the diplomatic phase to garner partners against Iran, either you are with us or against us mode. This too is where assets will be moved around again. Phase one was perfect for moving up troops from the reserves. They know where problems were and will fix them. Air raid sirens too were fixed, many were drilled continuously in real time. Rescue Crews got practice. The public is now experienced. Israel has has many months now to reinforce its infrastructure for any long range missiles. Israel is ready. Phase II will move assets around, get holes fixed try to garner friends and determine who may be foes. Then phase III. The real war. [/quote]
Original Message
In continuation of a series of years of World at War,THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION BASED UPON URGENT PENDING MATTERS, the following was the 2011 thread.
Thread: The World at War, Official 2011 war thread for North Korea, Iran, Israel, China, U.S.
The following is the 2012 Thread up to the end of August.
Thread: World at War, Official 2012 Thread for Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
Now we enter into the last four months of 2012. Follow the past year to see where we are at. I try not to give much BS and only ask that if you do not care for the topic or format, do not visit this thread.
Trolls, you will be deleted or blocked, you can start your own thread if you wish, just leave us alone!
As stated at the start of 2012, 2012 will be the start of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, what the results of the US election have in store for Israel, the Mideast and the US, and what will happen in Syria.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2012 looks to be a year of turmoil.
There are seers warning of some type of sign from God this coming year. The Mayan's seemed to predict something. The Pope may flee Rome? A comet in the sky? Great earthquakes? Signs in the sky?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying.
So, if you wish to discuss the above mentioned or wish to hear it from others, feel free to drop in and leave some good 5 stars if you find this inforomation either entertaining or productive.

So last night i got my monopoly streets on. I lost, the house rules were my undoing. The money from free parking just got astronomical ($4000!) and that funded the bad guys housing project. It was downhill the last 10 turns. *SIGH* So then came Skyrim...and the main quest...to my best knowledge. POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD: I got as far as tracking down some dude named Esbern (or something like that) in the sewers of Riften. Now if your saying "well that isn't very far" let me just say, I don't fast travel.....EVER. I traveled on foot to every location I had to get to. From Whiterun to Solitude to Riften...on foot...and preferably during the day! LOL!
So tonight...what I wanted to do was play some PC games. Maybe some League of Legends, hop on Steam and play some X-COM and maybe see how long i can stay away from the cops in Grand Theft Auto! But my PC HD is failing and it restarts by itself often while playing. I haven't turned my PC on in maybe 2 weeks. So I got to fix that before I can engage in some PC games. Which means....I have to change tonight's agenda. Looking at my collection blog to get an idea of what I should play tonight and i leaning towards Gears of War 3. Maybe I will do horde to round 50 with randoms, and if I can't get that done I'm sure i have some friends playing Reach.
Anyone want to hop on Gears 3 horde with me? I'm westcoast though so it could be late. If not I'm still interested in what you will be playing tonight. Let me know!

Optometrists are independent and crucial healthcare service giver for eye treatment. Their primary aim is always to examine, spot, handle, and manage problems and conditions of the eye Optometrist Saskatoon are an intrinsic part of the health workforce. These eyecare practitioners are experienced and proficient in providing co-management of eyecare and health insurance.They carefully see the eye to identify any abnormality. These may be vision conditions, binocular vision conditions, eye diseases, or systemic conditions for example diabetes and hypertension. These eye problems could be associated with vision, binocular vision, disorders of eye or any systemic disorders including diabetes or hypertension. Optometrists prescribe and/or supply spectacles, contact lenses, reduced vision and vision therapy. They prescribe drugs to care for eye conditions and accomplish certain surgery. Optometrists also do checks to find the patient's capability to focus Additionally, they check for the control of these patients' eyes, analyze depth awareness, and power to recognize suitable colours.
Why do you require an optometrist? All of the folks look at the capability to look as their most critical sense. The main objective of an optometrist would be to give you preservation of the eye, health insurance, and advancement in the health of the eye.These gents and ladies have committed their lives to looking after the eyes of individuals. Many individuals are not able to distinguish between various kinds of eye-care providers.The following data will assist one to understand perfectly what your optometrist is experienced to complete.
Most of individuals merely visit an optometrist once they require spectacles or lenses. But, there's a great deal behind the performing of an optometrist.

Our latest winter storm blew through late this past Monday night, and the image above — taken the day before yesterday — is what it looks like after a lot of the snow has already melted. The dichotomy is striking, but the damage to the blooms and buds in our area from the wintry mix of ice and snow — plus the unseasonably cold temperatures — is going to go deep this year.
Below is what this same plant looked like on March 5th last year. Oh, and don't think we couldn't have more wintry weather yet this season; you can see more snowy images in the posts I shared of a very late winter storm back on March 30, 2014, both here and here.
We checked the local apple and peach orchards — which are within walking distance of our house — and found that the early white peaches were pretty much wiped out… maybe even some of the early yellow peaches as well. The apple trees bloom later, so they may not be as badly affected. The flowers, bushes, and trees were all covered by heavy sleet and snow in the neighboring region surrounding us, but just 10 miles north of here they were covered by about a half-inch of fluffy snow, then topped with up to two inches of ice. Sadly, as bad as it was for us, it'll be a lot worse for others above the Mason-Dixon line.
And what of the cherry blossoms down in DC? A couple of weeks ago I shared an image from the early blooming indicator tree here, but the majority — some 50+ percent — of the remaining buds and blooms around the Tidal Basin have been devastated by the ice and below-freezing conditions, as you can read here. So if you were hoping to see them at peak this year, well… you may want to try to get a refund for your air travel and/or lodging.
DC and the National Park Service are trying to paint as bright of a picture as they can, stating that the cherry trees around the Tidal Basin aren't the only ones in town, that many of the other species that bloom later are still viable, and will be equally pretty to view and enjoy. But those other trees aren't in a setting as picturesque as the Tidal Basin, so it remains to be seen what this will do to their March and April tourism figures.

Recycling of household waste from oceans and seas is a business that brings from 20 to 50% of profit per year, depending on the volume and applied technologies. But this profit can be increased up to 730%!
Project Ocean Innovations (Denmark) is based on the use of technological devices for garbage collection from the water surface, and can significantly increase the amount thereof.
Successful tests in the sea off the coast of Denmark and the Netherlands indicate that the volume of garbage collected with the help of new barriers is 10 times more compared with the previously used methods.
- increased income from handing over raw materials to recycling plants and investors' income is growing up to 700% or higher;
- cleaning the global ocean from toxic waste, which annually kill hundreds of thousands of fish and sea creatures - 20% faster than at present;
- enhanced safety of navigation, which reduces the overall cost of seafood production - in 7% in average.

Remember the lovely dress I said I wasn't sure I'd have much occasion to wear?
Well, tonight I had the perfect excuse to give it a debut - the Private View of Turner Monet Twombly: Later Paintings at Tate Liverpool. The painterly print of the dress looks quite Monet-ish in style so I thought I'd blend in quite well with the pictures.
I was a bit over-dressed perhaps, but I've never had so many compliments in my life! It was lovely - so many people noted the similarity to the Monets and said what a great dress it was and how it fits me so well - I was beaming :).
I got ready in work and somehow actually managed to get my hair and make-up right first time (usually this takes ages, with lots of re-drawing of eyeliner), so I was really pleased.
However, I can't show you an outfit picture because we didn't have a camera (no photos allowed in the exhibition, so no point taking one) and I couldn't take one by myself when I got back home - rubbish!
Here's a detail from the dress:
|1950s Dress, from Lili Bizarre
|The Water-Lily Pond by Claude Monet - Photo: Albertina, Vienna (via the Guardian website)
Not a million miles away, I think you'll agree. I'll have to recreate the outfit and post some photographs!
The exhibition, by the way was beautiful and I thoroughly recommend a visit - but for the love of god book first as it's likely to be busy.
Update: Managed to take a shot myself with the self-timer (looking snotty for some reason).

By far, my least favorite part of using technology and web tools as much as I do in my daily life is knowing that what I rely on today could easily be gone tomorrow. Between acquisitions feature changes and developers trying to figure out how to turn a profit, it is never wise to get too attached to any particular site or tool.
This sad reality hit hard tonight. I logged on to Google Reader to scan the articles I missed during the day and to my surprise, I got a nice little pop-up notification that Google was retiring Reader as of July 1, 2013.
I don't know about you, but Google Reader is a way of life for me. I use RSS to scan about 100 websites and at least 2,500 articles daily to stay up on top of industry news. Google Reader plays a big role in helping me do this.
Thankfully, Google did give us a handy tutorial on how to download your Google Reader data and cNet gives us five RSS alternatives. I am going to try a few of these out and post again in the future with my recommendation, but I would love to hear what you use for RSS. Leave a comment below and let us know what you recommend.

Toyota Says Corolla, Matrix Stalling Problem Not a Safety RiskMar 18, 2010 | Parker Waichman LLP
It looks like Toyota has another vehicle defect on its hands. According to the Detroit Free Press, the automaker is trying to determine how to correct stalling problems on more than 1 million Corolla and Matrix vehicles. But Toyota insists the stalls don't pose a safety risk.
Obviously, this is the last thing Toyota needs. Since last fall, Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles worldwide for problems involving sudden acceleration. Toyota has blamed the speed control issues on defective floor mats and faulty accelerator pedals, but some experts suspect that problems with the vehicles' electronic throttle control system could really be behind the problems. Such suspicions have increased recently, as dozens of Toyota owners whose vehicles underwent recall repairs have recently complained that their vehicles are still experiencing problems with unintended acceleration.
Apparently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been investigating stalling problems with 2006 Corolla and Matrix models since last November. According to the Free Press, at that time the agency had received 26 reports of engine stalls. In some, owners reported that stalls happened without warning and in some cases the engine was hard to restart or kept stalling. None of those reports were linked to any injuries or crashes.
By the beginning of March, the NHTSA had received a total of 76 such reports. According to the Free Press, one of these incidents involved a fire, and some of the stalls occurred while vehicles were going through intersections or merging onto highways.
According to Toyota, the stalling problem affects 2005 through 2007 model year Corolla and Matrix vehicles. The automaker blamed the problem on physical faults in the production of the vehicles' engine control units, caused by mistakes at two suppliers. In a letter to the NHTSA, Toyota said it "does not believe that the alleged defect creates an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety." According to the Free Press, if the NHTSA agrees with Toyota that the stalling problem doesn't pose a safety risk, Toyota would be free to take any number of steps to correct it, short of an official recall.
