The General Services Administration's Office of Citizen Services on Wednesday will begin publishing a list of 10 challenges facing federal agencies developing a mobile presence, the division's mobile director said Tuesday.
The office will publish one challenge online each day, along with an open forum for agencies to discuss the challenge and offer tips.
The challenges list is the second phase of Mobile Gov, a GSA program aimed at promoting the development of mobile apps in government.
Gwynne Kostin, Office of Citizen Services mobile director, described the program Tuesday at a conference sponsored by the media company FedScoop.
In later stages, Mobile Gov aims to establish a set of standards and best practices for government mobile apps so the government can be more deliberate and rational about its rollout of mobile apps than it was about the proliferation of government websites in the 1990s.
The number of government websites topped off at around 20,000 before Federal Chief Technology Officer Jeffrey Zients ordered a freeze on new sites earlier this month.
Mobile Gov will reach the meat of that phase in mid-July, when it plans to launch a wiki to gather and organize comments from agencies, citizens and the private sector about which government apps they're using, which ones are more useful than others and what they'd like to see in the future, Kostin said.

When software applicationsare developed, the development team must consider business need, expected usage, hardware on which each application is deployed, internet connectivity and more.Together, these parameters are responsible for the overall performance of any application.
Changes in business needs or any of the other parameters mentioned abovecan lead to application performance decreases. It is very important to have the optimum speed of applications to increase productivity of the organization. This is why performance tuning of applications is so important.
At Silver Touch, we pay close attention to of every aspect of system and application stability. Based on our experience with a variety of front- and back- ends, servers, web-based applications etc., we have empirically derived benchmarks for performance, load, volume and stress. When we use these in conjunction with industry-accepted benchmarks, we can analyze each aspect of software and hardware to determine overall performance capabilities.
Load, size, throughput, round time, transaction time, connect time, send time, response time, process time, average latency, receive time, disk memory and CPU utilization are just a few of the parameters that we closely study. Response parameters of each activity are monitored under various loads and concurrent usage to check for failure. We also determine important aspects of load, volume and hardware thresholds for a given number of users.

OK I just read all th e messages about the pain and TAXOL. I am having my first treatment tomorrow. I have not had anything else so I can't even imaginw what it may be like. The oncologist and infusion tech assured me today that there was minimal pain and that is why I was started on TAXOl first to ease me into the next set of chemo which will be 4 rounds of FAC. Now I read over 10 responses stating that TAXOL has caused unbearable pain. How can I even go tomorrow after this?
Apr 21, 2001 - 9:15 am
Dear Tarcy,
Apr 21, 2001 - 11:17 am
tracy, I know how you feel, when I read all the messages about everyones pain I freaked too! then I talked to a few people that hadn't experience as much difficulty and decided I would keep a positive attitude and do the best I could. I had my first Taxol 3 weeks ago on a monday and go in for the second in 2 days. With the infusion all I felt was drowsy from the benadryl and I pretty much nodded off thru the whole thing..[it helps to have a cd player and listen to pleasant music] Then I didn't feel a thing till Wed night-I started to get a low backache -not bad enough to take pain reliever, this increased
Apr 21, 2001 - 12:44 pm
Tracy, calm down and quit expecting the worst...Like you, I dreaded the Taxol and voiced my fears to every Onco nurse at my treatment center and to my oncologist. They all kept reassuring me that it would not be that bad. I did not believe them. I emailed Tiger and asked for the straight information and she responded with the sweetest and most calming letter. I went in for the first treatment very relaxed because of Tiger's words. Later, I found out that she did not tolerate it well at all, but she convinced me to be unafraid. My first treatment was VERY mild. Achy on the 3rd day after treatment. I took a few Tylenol and did warm baths. I have a heating thing that fits the back of my recliner and I used that whenever I was sitting. It gives a very low heat and helped the lower back feel better. I was most achy with the last of the 4 treatments, but it was never really bad, for me. I know everyone is different and I am a little older. I am used to the aches and pains brought on with years of living. (I am 62). Try not to be afraid of the Taxol. Ask about using the Glutamine and how much to use. I did not use it, but many at my treatment center did use it and it helped them. I would poll everyone getting treatments, everytime I went and my questions were mostly about Taxol to the people who had already taken that drug. Not one person there had a bad experience with the Taxol. They all experienced muscle aches and some numbness in fingers and toes. Everyone agreed that the aches come about three days after treatment and last 3/4 days. YOU WILL SAIL THROUGH THIS LIKE A SKATER ON ICE!! What is the FAC? I am not familiar with this drug. Tracy, sometimes our thoughts can influence our experiences. Try VERY hard to think that this will be easy and it WILL be easy. Love to you, Nancy
Apr 21, 2001 - 6:39 pm
Tracy, Nancy said it in a nutshell. If you go in being scared and thinking that you will have pain, then you probably will. Only 5% of women have the kind of pain that I had. I have had eight Taxol to date and each time gets easier. So buck up and dont worry, you will sail through this. If you get at all achy, have a warm bath and then alternate laying down and walking. If you lay too long it will hurt more, but alternating really eases everything out.
Apr 21, 2001 - 12:49 pm
Tracy..you can go because you are mommy to twins, and the alternative....not going..is not an option, is it? and dont forget, for every person who has serious side effects from chemo, there are another two out there who don't..you will find, Tracy, that you have strengths you never realised you had, and you will be amazed at yourself! Go for it! Wahtever the consequences, remember, This too shall pass. And we are here for you....everyday...Much love, Susan
Apr 21, 2001 - 3:14 pm
Tracy, only 5% suffer adversely from the side effects of Taxol. That means 95% receive its full benefits. Just make sure you have a prescription for pain relief stronger than Tylenol in case you fall into the 5% group. Vioxx was not available back when I was given Taxol. If it had been available, I might have finished off the other 3 Taxol infusions.. Your doctors will weigh the quality of your life against your risk of recurrence before they suggest you stop any particular treatment. Margaret
Apr 23, 2001 - 11:23 am
Tracy, my response to the onco and drs is always the same when they say things like it's not bad, it doesn't hurt etc etc... IS and when did you go through this? I did 4 treatments of Taxol and the pain was bad.. but I told my doc that if she didn't give me something for the pain I was not finishing the rest... she gave me Oxyir and I got through the next 3. Take care and my thoughts will be with you. Hugs

Delicious eateries are plentiful in the big city. Out here in the Fraser Valley we may have to drive a little further to reach the next amazing restaurant, but rest assured fine dining is available on our side of the bridge! Regardless of what part of the valley you are in, we recommend a visit to Tap Restaurant in Surrey. It is one of our absolute favourite hidden gems.
Open since 2006, this Surrey restaurant serves modern Pacific Northwest cuisine. When we heard Tap had recently undergone a great kitchen renovation, we thought we would check it out! Executive Chef Alistair Veen sat down with us after we enjoyed one of Tap Restaurant's amazing dinners. He is tremendously passionate about food, flavours, creativity and creating an outstanding experience for every Tap guest.
One of the best things about Tap is its size. The restaurant seats 42 guests, with space for an additional 30 on the patio. It's a very comfortable place to enjoy a meal, not too squishy and not too big. It's a relaxing, welcoming environment and the open kitchen area makes for a great experience. When he's not in the kitchen, Chef Alistair will be found visiting with guests, often recommending fabulous wine pairings. Tap's wine list is very approachable and features something for everyone. Their house beer is local Russell Brewing and they also carry several import beer varieties. If you visit Tap Restaurant on a Wednesday night, you will enjoy the groovy live sounds of Acoustic Groove. Mike and Tony have been playing at Tap for years – they are awesome!
So what did we enjoy at our last visit? For starters, parmesan risotto and Tap's tasty caesar salad. Whether we visit for lunch or dinner, this salad is always ordered – Tap's caesar salad recipe is fab-u-lous. Our entrees were the lamb two ways (herb-crusted rack, crepe of confit shoulder, mint-balsamic demi glace) and the halibut (beet, arugula and goat cheese salad, roasted shallot vinaigrette). For dessert – scrumptious strawberry cheesecake. Presentation was beautiful, flavours were wonderful – Tap never disappoints us. The menu is really lovely and makes use of local, fresh ingredients. When something is in season, Chef Alistair and his creative team find several magnificent ways to present it.
Tap Restaurant is the perfect place for a quiet date, a lovely dinner with your favourite people or an impressive lunchtime business meeting. And although we call it one of our favourite hidden gems, the secret is definitely out and it's often a full house. Be sure to call ahead for dinner reservations.

A woman's body was found in a Kirkland house Friday when firefighters responded to a report of smoke coming from the building.
A woman's body was found in a Kirkland house Friday when firefighters responded to a report of smoke coming from the building.
The fire was reported at 11 a.m. at 15th Avenue and Second Street and was extinguished in minutes, said Robin Paster, Fire Department public-information officer.
The cause of the fire has not been determined. The woman's body was found in a bedroom, said Paster, and the cause of death also was unknown, pending an examination by the King County Medical Examiner's Office.
Smoke was found throughout the house, but fire damage was confined to the kitchen, said Paster.
Neighbors said the woman who occupied the older home north of downtown Kirkland was in her 50s and had a mental disability. She had lived in the home for about 40 years, first with her family and then by herself for about the past five years.
School band to play in Rose Parade
The Mercer Island High School band has been invited to play in the 117th Tournament of Roses Parade on Jan. 2 in Pasadena, Calif.
The band, which has more than 270 members, will spend six days in California preparing for and performing in the parade.
In a run-up to the trip, Mercer Island will host the Rose Parade president, Elizabeth "Libby" Evans Wright, Nov. 4 and 5. While here, Evans Wright will attend an Islanders football game to see the band perform and a celebration dinner for the band.
The last time an Islander band played in the Rose Parade was 1992.
About 75 bands auditioned to perform in the parade; roughly 20 were selected.
The Mercer Island band will play at Disneyland as well.Redmond
Renton man killed in vehicle collision
A Renton man died as a result of a collision on the Redmond-Fall City Highway on Thursday. The collision took place about 4:35 p.m. just west of Tolt Hill Road.
The Washington State Patrol identified the victim as Vu T. Xiong, 45, a passenger in a 1993 Toyota Camry. He died Friday after being airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The collision took place when the Toyota was traveling west with two occupants, a female driver and the passenger, the patrol reported.
Witnesses said the Toyota drifted to the right onto the right shoulder and then veered left, crossing the centerline and striking the rear trailer of a dump truck traveling east. The dump truck was empty, and the impact overturned the rear trailer.
The Toyota driver, identified by the patrol as Xee Yang, 28, also of Renton, was in stable condition in Harborview's intensive-care unit.
The dump-truck driver, identified by the Patrol as Shane Moriarty, 25, of Puyallup, was not injured.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Mercer Island
Boys & Girls Club agreement reached
The Mercer Island School Board and proponents of a new location for the Mercer Island Boys & Girls Club have reached an agreement on a location for the proposed building on school property.
The plan would build a home for the club, which would be run jointly with the school district. The site is on 86th Avenue Southeast adjacent to the Children's Institute for Learning Differences.
In a joint meeting of the school board and the Mercer Island City Council on Thursday, board and council members gave their support to the project, but discussed a number of obstacles — traffic, parking, cooperative use and land-use issues — that need to be overcome before the plan can move forward.
The largest obstacle may be the part of the city code that sets a limit on how much of a property can be covered by buildings, concrete or other surfaces that prevent rain from being absorbed by the ground.

The Patternist series (also known as the Patternmaster series or Seed to Harvest) is a group of science fiction novels by Octavia E. Butler that detail a secret history continuing from the Ancient Egyptian period to the far future that involves telepathic mind control and an extraterrestrial plague. A profile of Butler in Black Women in America notes that the themes of the series include "racial and gender-based animosity, the ethical implications of biological engineering, the question of what it means to be human, ethical and unethical uses of power, and how the assumption of power changes people."[1]
Butler's first published novel, 1976's Patternmaster, was the first book in this series to appear. From 1977 until 1984, she published four more Patternist novels: Mind of My Mind (1977), Survivor (1978), Wild Seed (1980) and Clay's Ark (1984). Until Butler began publishing the Xenogenesis trilogy in 1987, all but one of her published books were Patternist novels (1979's Kindred was the exception).
Butler later expressed a dislike for the novel Survivor,[2] and declined to bring it back into print.[3]

With cutting-edge research and internationally recognized faculty, Environmental Engineering at Yale has established itself in just a few years as a powerhouse in the field.
Its achievements are reflected in the 2017 U.S. News & World Report's Graduate Engineering Rankings, which lists the program at No. 9. in the category of "environmental engineering." Yale's program is tied with those from MIT and Johns Hopkins University.
The program, which emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to solving environmental problems, allows graduate students to pursue their educational and research interests across departmental lines and draw upon the resources of other departments and schools at Yale. Several faculty members also have close ties with the School of Forestry & Environmental Science.
Menachem Elimelech, the founder of the environmental engineering program, attributed the program's success to the dedication of the faculty.
"I really believe that people make the difference," said Elimelech, the Roberto C. Goizueta Professor of Chemical & Environmental Engineering. "We have active faculty who are carrying out high impact research in their field, playing leadership roles in the environmental engineering profession, and receiving important awards in recognition of their research."
Equally important, he said, are the many outstanding graduate students and postdocs who have gone through the program.
"The vast majority of them - nearly 60 - are holding faculty positions in leading universities in the U.S. and abroad," Elimelech said, adding that these placements "range from Harvard on the east coast to the University of California, Berkeley on the west coast." "I believe there is a strong correlation between the ranking of a graduate program in engineering or science and the ability of the program to place their graduates in faculty positions."
Grad students and postdocs have also taken positions in government and industry, including those at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Proctor & Gamble, the Boston Consulting Group, the U.S. Department of State, and the World Health Organization. Numerous graduate students have also received prestigious fellowships from the National Science Foundation and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Environmental Engineering at Yale began in 1998 as an interdisciplinary program within the Department of Chemical Engineering, built upon institutional strengths in environmental, biological, and engineering sciences and guided by Yale's global perspective. To more accurately reflect the scope of the research and the degree offerings, the Department of Chemical Engineering was renamed in 2010 as the Department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering.
Several of the program's faculty members play a key role in the Nanotechnology Enabled Water Treatment Systems center (NEWT), an effort that brings together partners from industry, government and other universities to provide clean water to millions of people and make U.S. energy production more sustainable and cost-effective. NEWT, which began last year, is funded with an $18.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The environmental engineering program has produced research that has helped shape public discussion on some of the most important environmental issues today. These include water desalination and wastewater reuse; the impact of energy production and use on air quality and climate change; the environmental implications of the use of engineered nanomaterials; and sources of human exposure to bacteria and fungi in buildings and other man-made surroundings.
The impressive ranking from U.S. News & World Report is just the latest honor for the program, which includes a faculty member named to the National Academy of Engineering, a Clark Prize and Eni Award winner, three winners of the Walter Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize, and a recent National Science Foundation CAREER Award. Several faculty members also serve as editors or on editorial boards of leading journals in the field of environmental engineering.
Reflecting the program's expansion, Environmental Engineering will soon be moving into a new, higher quality space. And with the continued support of Yale, Elimelech said, the program will continue to grow in stature and excellence.
"We hope to continue with our impactful, collaborative, and relevant research in environmental engineering," he said. "We have hired a few outstanding young faculty in the past few years and I believe their research will make an impact in the coming years, and will further enhance the reputation and visibility of the environmental engineering program."

1st MEMS Spectrometer Debuts
7 comments
PORTLAND, Ore. The world's first microelectromechanical system (MEMS) spectrometer on-a-chip was shown today at at Photonics West (San Francisco, February 10-12) by Si-Ware Systems (SWS, Cairo, Egypt with offices in La Canada, Calif.) Instead of transporting materials across sometimes great distances to be analyzed with a normal bench-top spectrometer, Si-Ware's MEMS-powered spectrometer fits in the palm of your hand and thus can be taken to the material to be analyzed.
"Spectrometers are usually bench sized, so your have to take the object to the bench, but now with our MEMS sized you can can take the spectrometer to the object," said executive vice president, worldwide marketing and business development of Si-Ware, Scott Smyser.
The MEMS-powered spectrometer is not only smaller than a bench sized units, but is also much lower in cost.
"Typical prices are upwards of $10,000 for a high-quality bench-sized spectrometer, but our MEMS spectrometer is just $2000 for quantities of 1-to-100 and only $500 for 100,000 unit orders," Smyser told us.
The first marketed model is being supplied in a compete module, but Si-Ware's business plan is to adapt the form-factor to the application. For instance, for agricultural applications, instead of taking soil samples, label them by location, then sending them off to a lab. They are working with companies like Dutch Sprouts (Wageningen, The Netherlands) to create a baseball-bat-like form factor that uses near-infrared to do instant analysis of soil samples in the field, then wirelessly transmit them back to the farmer's computer complete with time and location stamps. Dutch Sprouts initiative is called SoilCares.
Next they are going after other industrial and even consumer applications such as wearable wrist bands that measure blood sugar, oxygenation levels and other medical and sports related parameters.
"We are downsizing the unit further and integrating all the bulky components into an integrated freestanding modules small enough to afford as a wearable," Smyser told us.
Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectrometers work by shining a light on an object then measuring the reflected spectrum, which is unique for each substance present in the sample. The spectrometer measures both the materials present and their relative quantities.
To maximize its applications, NeoSpectra models come in three versions analyzing materials using light in the near-infrared (NIR) range between 1,150nm and 2,500nm wavelength. Since NeoSpectra is based on a MEMS material with fixed-in-place components, it is permanently aligned and is easily reproducible, according to Smyser.
Besides exhibiting at NeoSpectra Photonics West, Si-Ware will also hold a special demonstration called "Spectral Sensing - A New Paradigm in FT-IR Spectroscopy" in Demo Area 2 (Hall D North) on Wednesday February 11th at 4:30PM.

The six 2015 Back in the Newsroom fellows at ICFJ's office.
Building on the success of the 2014 program, ICFJ will host a new round of Back in the Newsroom Fellowships in 2015. In its first year, the program placed five journalism professors from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in cutting-edge newsrooms for the summer. This gave the fellows first-hand exposure to the latest thinking on content creation and delivery – information and skills they are using to revise their curricula and teaching methods to help students get internships and jobs.

At a pivotal time for the Middle East, Knight International Journalism Fellow Amr El-Kahky is launching teams of investigative reporters at news organizations across the region. His efforts have helped journalists gain more access to government documents than ever before, particularly in Jordan and the West Bank. His investigative unit in Jordan uncovered a vote-buying scheme ahead of the November 2010 parliamentary elections. Jordanian reporters also tackled the issue of childhood alcohol addiction—a controversial topic never covered in the past.
Haitian journalists work in a makeshift newsroom at Le Nouvelliste. Their old building was destroyed in the January 2010 earthquake.
Knight International Journalism Fellow Klarreich established an investigative team at Le Nouvelliste, Haiti's leading newspaper, which regularly produces stories on the misuse of aid sent to Haiti after the catastrophic January 2010 earthquake.

In a country where women have played a minor role in TV news, Kawser Mahmud has created the country's first women's broadcast news agency. The agency is giving women the skills they need to fill key positions in broadcast news at Bangladesh's 10 newly licensed TV stations—and to produce stories on issues that may be of interest to women viewers.
Mahmud trained nearly three dozen women as reporters, producers and camera operators at the Television News Agency (TVNA). Most have been scooped up by the new independent TV stations.

Saturday night sees Morocco Atlas Lions entertain USA Knockouts in Week 6 of WSB Season VI, with both teams desperately in need of a win to keep their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages alive. The Lions lost their season opener in Mexico and couldn't overcome the British Lionhearts in Casablanca during Week 4, while the Americans also fell to the British side but were able to comfortably dispose of Mexico Guerreros 4-1 in Miami a fortnight ago.
The Atlas Lions' sole success against the Mexicans came from light flyweight Imad Ahayoun, and he will be looking to get the team off to another strong start when he tackles Knockouts' Colombian draft-pick debutant Hernan Alarcon.
African Champion Mohamed Hamout won three top bouts in Season V, but his first taste of action in the new campaign will be a testing battle against US bantamweight sensation Shakur Stevenson, WSB's standout boxer from Week 2. The third pair to take to the ring will be Morocco's former light welterweight champion Abdelhaq Nadir and US National Olympic Trials winner teenager Gary Russell, and with neither boxer boasting significant international experience, it could be a case of whoever keeps his cool taking the bout.
The hosts' London 2012 Olympian and former African Champion Badreddine Haddioui moved up to middleweight for the new season, where he faces a tough test against in-form American Charles Conwell in the fourth bout of the night. Should the match go down to the final contest, the Knockouts have broguht in 24 year-old Brandon Glanton, who made his WSB debut last season in a bruising encounter with Filip Hrgovic, to face the Atlas Lions' African Champion Abdeldjalil Abouhamada.

PDP members boycott meeting organized by Ali Modu Sheriff
Members query Sheriff's 'deafening' silence on APC's 'misgovernance'
A meeting organized by former Borno governor, Ali-Modu Sheriff was shunned by members of the people's democratic party(PDP) because he failed to call for the re-opening of the PDP secreteriat complex.
The Wadata plaza secretariat has been shut down since May 22, 2016 by officers of the Nigerian police force following a parallel national convention. A day before(May 21), Sheriff along with some of the party's national officers were fired and an interim team was setup and announced. Former Kaduna Governor, Ahmed Markarfi was appointed Chairman and former senator, Ben Obi became national secretary.
The PDP members under the auspices of the PDP staff welfare forum, announced on Monday in Abuja that their decision was unanimous. A statement signed by the welfare forum revealed that over 80 members present voted to reject the invitation by Modu-Sheriff.
Quoting the statement on the reason for rejecting the meeting;
While the National Caretaker Committee under the able leadership of Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, spoke in support of the call for the national secretariat of the party to be opened for Party activities, Senator Sheriff in a statement by his spokesman, Hon. Bernard Mikko rejected the call for the reopening of the National Secretariat which was seen by the staff as an affront to the progress and rebuilding process in the PDP.
They accused him of working against the party, stating that his activities saw the reduction of the PDP's fortune in the gubernatorial elections in Ondo and Edo states.
The forum queried Sheriff's deafening silence on salient national issues especially the 'recklessness' and 'misgovernance' of the APC. They wondered why Sheriff had never been 'critical' of Buhari's administration.

New Orleans Day 4: A Hodgepodge
4 comments:
I am so enjoying your trip!! Andrew Jackson was also known as the Swamp Fox for his campaign in New Orleans. There's a YA book that was written about him by that same title your boys might enjoy--if it's still in print.
And there's also a movie staring Charlton Heston as Jackson that's more about the pirate LaFitte. Old movie but really fun to watch.
I'm fascinated by the history of New Orleans and one day plan to write a historical about it.
After my trip there!!
Teresa - We will talk when I get back and figure out a way for you to get to NOLA ASAP! Kevin has been here for a 5-day PD, so the stipend and reimbursements are making it financially feasible for us to bring the whole family. I think for two adults it would be even easier to do on a budget! If you don't mind driving you can save $ by driving, unless you happen upon a cheap airline ticket! And we've kept breakfast/snack items in the hotel room to cut down on food expenses. Also... don't stay directly IN the French Quarter. Everything is more expensive there. We're staying on Canal St., but you could stay in the Garden District or Central Business District and probably pay less for a hotel and then just take the trolley into the French Quarter. You can buy passes for the trolley for 1 day up to 5 days!ReplyDelete
Really cool pics. So pretty.ReplyDelete

Midwinter Night's Dream Trailer (2004)
A simple story of an ex-convict who comes home after 10 years, only to find two squatters in the form of a woman and her autistic daughter. Though Lazar initially plans to kick out Jasna and Jovana, he changes his mind after seeing the squalid conditions of the shelter they are to move into. It is an allegory of the Balkan wars. When first released in Serbia, it caused some public outrage because of the sharp criticism of Serbia's role in the war.

Now onto some more exciting news...I am squealing with excitement because I was asked back to one of my favorite design teams "Hambo Stamps". I just love Monica's humor and Tims talent for art! They are amazing people to work with. I also love my friend Judy Rozema who is the DT lead. She is always so organized and such a fun person to work with.
This week all the Bacon Bits design team are playing along with the challenge at the Hambo Hoedown. The challenge: add a pennant or banner to your card or project...don't forget you have to use a Hambo Image too! There are some adorable images in the Hambo Digi Shop!
The fun image I have used on my project is called "Bat Boy". Isn't he just adorable.
I added some freckles to look a little more like my little Bean. He is currently in his first year of little league. GO BEAVERS!!! Their colors are orange and black.
The digital Bat Boy stamp comes with 3 sentiments. They are really versatile and could be used for several different occasions.
So glad you could make it here today and see the fun project I made for Hambo Stamps. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Get crafty!!!

Saturday 9 December 2006
Customs, traditions and the nativity story are all central to Christmas. Below, we've found some imaginative, child-friendly events and attractions that bring the festive season to life for families.
Traditionally, we all ingest far too many calories at Christmas and take far too little exercise. But it doesn't have to be that way: sharp, sunny (if you're lucky) winter days can be as good as anything the summer brings.
Indoor attractions boast obvious advantages in chilly mid-December, and many museums and galleries are hosting workshops and special events for families.
From James and the Giant Peach to The Magic Lamp.

According to a report just filed by Reuters, Volkswagen is quite healthy after a record year in 2008 and has cash reserves and bonds that will allow them to weather the huge downturn in worldwide car sales in relative comfort.
"A difficult 2009 lies ahead of us -- one of the most difficult years in our company's history," Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn.
Not exactly a sunny outlook on the situation, but with the $4.47 billion dollar bond recently acquired, they have handled most of their debt restructuring for the year, which should allow them to avoid any major snags while attempting to increase their market share and presence in the shaky auto industry.
Volkswagen's strong lineup has certainly helped reduce the impact of the slump and it shows--as they have only seen a 15% drop in sales while the rest of the industry has averaged nearly a 40% decline, bringing sales levels to the lowest level in 28 years.
No one can predict with certainty when the sales will pick up again but Volkswagen is already positioning itself to be ready when the market comes back. The company says increasing their market share significantly while others are struggling will help them reach their goal of becoming the number one worldwide car maker within the next ten years.

If it's autumn in Kansas City, it's time to gather around and hear a good story. Metropolitan Community College-Maple Woods will present its sixteenth annual Kansas City Storytelling Celebration at locations around Kansas City, including several libraries.
More than twenty public events will entertain a variety of audiences, including senior citizens, schoolchildren and families. All are free and open to the public.
The kickoff of this year's festival will take place from 7 to 9:00 pm on November 4 at MCC-Maple Woods' Student Center, Rooms 132 A and B. It will include appearances by this year's four featured storytellers. The featured tellers will also be center stage on November 7 for a full day of storytelling fun and excitement at MCC-Maple Woods Campus Center and Student Center starting at 9:30 am.
This year's featured storytellers include the following: Milbre Burch, a Columbia resident and a Grammy-nominated recording artist who tells original works; Baba Jamal Koram of Alexandria, Virginia, who prides himself on being an organic storyteller; Bil Lepp of South Charleston, West Virginia, who calls himself a "champion liar" and tells outrageous, humorous tall tales and witty stories; Olga Loya of San Jose, California, who is a nationally known Latina storyteller, performance artist, keynote speaker, and author.

Rembrandt Tulip "Mabel"
colored pencil with pen & ink in Moleskine sketchbook
May, 2012 ~ Utrecht, Netherlands
Yes, another tulip from our garden - now documented in my moleskine journal. I simply love the broken patterns of color on the Rembrandt Tulips. The Mabels also have such a lovely shape and color from beginning bloom to end of life. Plus, they are late blooming tulips!
Perhaps, one day, this will become a full drawing or a painting, but for now it's in my Flowers, Plants & Trees moleskine. :o)
tot ziens,

(…….in continuation) "I feel right about us, I want to give this a shot."
For the firsts, this may have been his rebound. He had just convinced himself out of his seven-year long 'itch', as the woman had refused him without changing her mind once, in the last couple of years. True, they were a thing during his college days. They were more or less a thing when he got his first job. But then, the physical distance and many more issues led to the fallout. I don't know what is all the hullabaloo of having a long-distance relationship? They call it 'LDR'. Funny, they have an acronym for it as well, associating it with enough importance as to figure out an acronym! Like we do in medicine? Ankylosis Spondylitis being shortly called as 'AS', Multiple Sclerosis as 'MS'. These are important, serious diseases.
Maybe, to the commoners, 'LDR' is an incurable disease too. Rob was afflicted with it for long. While his ex-woman was off to the US, pursuing her Masters in Engineering. He says it was tough and he wasn't ready to embark on one right now. But then, did he have a choice?
"Do I have a choice now?" His voice rang aloud.
The abrupt news of his immediate transfer to this oil rig off the coast was unforeseen. And I was unsure if he would still continue with whatever we were into for the last couple of weeks. But then, where and how did it exactly begin?
In the foyer. It was late. I wasn't sure whether the casual dinner was a surreal date or not. I was sure he was smitten. And I was sure it was a date when he held his head real low, resting it on my arms. After looking up, all that was left was a gesture that didn't require words.
"I feel right about us, I want to give this a shot."
"It is indeed going to be tough."
"As long as you clean up my shit and I clean up yours…"
"Well, don't forget to get the toilet paper."
I had specifically asked him for the toilet paper. He never got it. And as it implies, I couldn't clean his mess either. We went on with it. Time and our surroundings didn't matter to us as long as we were sure about what we were doing. He was a self-aware person. I was an 'assured' person. We were astute about our commitment.
That's when the universe conspires and gives you a curve-ball.
"I don't know Rob! You are going! What am I supposed to make out of it? After you have clearly said that you are against long distance relationships!"
"We will figure it out."
"Can you do this?"
"Let's not speculate. Let's see where this takes us!"
We spent time together; me, after my hectic work back at the unit; him, after his grinding work back at his office. We were spending quality time. And that was when it was important for him to meet grandpa. Because grandpa was my only immediate family. Mom had passed away with liver abscess that had infected her blood so much so that, her organs couldn't survive the ordeal. Dad was long gone; my parents took a perpetual sabbatical from their relationship when I was 12. And thus, I was family-less. Except for my aunt, uncle and two cousins, who lived in the dainty fringes of the city and came over once in a while and loved me enough. That's how my life was. And Rob sort of knew what I needed exactly when I was about to lose my wits from 'imposed seclusion'. He loved me. Cared for me. And knew, I was as workaholic as he was. We were chalk and cheese. But that? Wasn't the point. I had screamed again then. To explain grandpa who Rob was.
"I am dating him Grandpa!"
I was loud enough for my neighbourhood to lend a ear and get hold of some gossip! But my grandpa had a different concern.
"What about your work? Are you working well enough?"
"Work is fine! It's not that a relationship is going to distract me! I am old now grandpa!"
He had smiled then. Not that I faced disapproval from his end. Not that my family disapproved of it either! My uncle and aunt seemed to like the boy too. And so did his family know that he was dating a girl named me! Everything was known, said and explained. And five years down the line? He wanted to make it official. He wanted to be my family man. I wanted to be his woman. And so he had put down with resolution, "Lady… You are off the market now. You belong to me."
I liked the resilience in his voice. I had found a sanctuary in a man after years of emotional failures that had only drained me from within. I knew I was ready for this commitment.
Though it seemed to be an unbelievably long one. Then? he was ready to leave.
(……a bit more patience please! to be continued 🙂 )

The NFL has seen plenty of effective pass-catching tight ends develop into some of the league's most dangerous receivers over the last couple of years and the Buffalo Bills may have one of their own in Scott Chandler.
Despite suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 16 last year, Chandler showed plenty of potential for the Bills throughout the 2012 season as he finished the year with 43 catches for 571 yards and six touchdowns. Chandler may not be on the same level as some of the league's other top pass-catching tight ends like Rob Gronkowski or Jimmy Graham, but there's no reason why Buffalo shouldn't try using him more during the 2013 season–assuming he's heathy enough to return to the field in time.
The Bills haven't recorded a winning record since the 2004 season and after another disappointing year in 2012–they will need all of the help they can get if they're going to have any chance of competing in the AFC East next season. It certainly won't be easy for a team like Buffalo to overcome the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, or New York Jets in the division–so using players like Chandler to their full potential will be key in 2013.
Of course, the main factor with all of this will be whether or not Chandler can bounce back to his old self following his ACL surgery since it's no secret how difficult it can be for any professional athlete to recover from an injury that serious.

Review of "Panasonic HDC-SD9EB-S"
"My new camcorder"
I purchased this camcorder 2-3weeks ago after some serious scearching on the net to ascertain if this was the best on the market. It turns out its not just the best its fantastic! the recording quailty is superb even when displayed on an SD tv, the sound reproduction is brilliant. My only concern with the unit is the replay on the screen because it is such a small unit some of the controls can be difficult to use, but the menus are straight forward and my understanding of the unit is now prety good. My first experince of using the camcorder was at silverstone race track to watch the BTCC on a grey and misrebale day the play back on my SD tv was fantastic I can't wait for my HD tv to try it out!

Product Information : Panasonic HDC-SD9EB-S
Manufacturer's product descriptionWorldwide, there is a strong and growing trend toward large-screen, high-image-quality televisions and high-definition (HD) broadcasting. In line with this, manufacturers are transitioning to HD quality in all other types of video equipment too. Panasonic, consistent with its long-time position as a leader in the video field is proud to introduce an advanced full-HD 3CCD camcorder, the HDC-SD9.The HDC-SD9 offers full-HD 1920 x 1080 progressive recording (25 frames per second) to capture images with a richness and beauty simply not possible with previous consumer camcorders. Users can record motion images with the kind of film-like quality enjoyed in movies at the cinema. Even though there is a natural conflict between high image quality and a high compression ratio, the 17-Mbps bit rate of the HDC-SD9 gives superb image quality and motion response, while its high compression ratio enables one full hour of recording onto a 4-GB SD Memory Card (in HX mode) at full-HD resolution. The model also introduces such features as Face Detection and the Intelligent Shooting Guide, which make it easier to capture mistake-free shots. It also offers Panasonic's original 3CCD camera system, Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), and a Leica Dicomar lens - three technologies that team up to deliver full-HD images of exquisite beauty. Viewed on today's high-quality large-screen TVs, video clips shot with the HDC-SD9 are simply breathtaking, with vivid coloring, intricate detail and exceptional clarity.
