Hello Philadelphia!
by Scott Hopkins, reporting from Philadelphia
Alright, here we go!
I'm beginning the day Monday by picking up press credentials, figuring out the schedule for the week's events and getting set up at Wells Fargo Center in time for the official start of the convention at 4:00pm ET. Keep an eye on Hillary HQ's Twitter and Facebook feeds for all the latest.
We'll have some great live coverage later today and the rest of the week, so stay tuned!
1 comment:
just heard a great report on the 60 minutes show, Hillary asked again and she says it, there is one standard for me and another standard for everyone else.ReplyDelete
Anyone want to hear what women who support Hillary think about Debbie getting booed?
Debbie, a great woman, got booed while on the stage by the same guys who were booing Hillary whenever Bernie implied she was bought and sold, his laugh line 'must have been soooome speech,' the same sorts who threw dollar bills when one of his actors called her a corporate whore after then date and place of the fund-raiser was provided to his supporters.
Who takes the high road, as usual? Never Bernie - he's the same bottom feeder as always.
This time, Debbie, she resigned, and they still booed her.
And Hillary, they put us far ahead of self-love.
Thank you Debbie, you took it on the chin for us.
Those emails weren't even verified as accurate before Bernie was demanding Debbie's head, and still haven't been, and if she ventilated over something not meant for the public, while he was smearing her and demanding her resignation in public to cheers and getting his supporters to boo Hillary, and fund-raising off it, it would be more than understandable.
it's the double-double-dutch standard, he gets to be a creep and the media holds their fire, and he gets to finger point against yet another woman, this time Debbie, who has worked for the party and who factually helped him out, however she felt personally.
Shame on Bernie, shame shame shame

Treating Financial Freedom As A Panacea
Expecting financial freedom to be the cure to all of life's problems is a dangerous perception.
There is little doubt that we'll have to sacrifice a good amount of time, effort, desires and opportunities on our way to financial freedom.
While I'm trying my best to take the express route by packing a stronger punch each month so that I can 'retire' by 35, it still means I'm delaying 'conventional fun' by 10 good years.
10 years is not something you'd want to gamble with.
What more those who plan to retire at 65?
40 years of delaying gratification, thinking that all of life's problems will be solved once you reach 'financial freedom' is naive, at most.
There's a saying that goes like this:
"If you're not happy now, you won't be happy because of money."
I've seen my fair share of wealthy and miserable folks. I've also seen my fair share of wealthy and happy folks.
Get it?
Financial Freedom Is A Means To An End - It Is Not The End
That pile of cash is still staring at you. $50 million dollars.
What are you going to do with it? You're financially free now.
What's next?
If you think that financial freedom is the destination, then you've arrived. Congratulations! Now you can officially be a beach bum and sip Martinis on a hammock.
If you're trying to strive for financial freedom, you're an ambitious person.
And because you're given the curse of ambition, it won't be long before you get bored with a beach bum lifestyle.
What I'm trying to say is that financial freedom is an enabler. It enables you to do things, to achieve achievements that weren't possible before it.
My main motivation to strive for it is that I want control of my life. I want to pursue a vocation in arts, photography, music - at my own time, in my own control and not having to worry about the financial side of things.
Hey, maybe even starting a nice little food truck like Jon Favreau in the movie 'Chef'.
Financial freedom enables me to do just that.
Not Having A Definite Point
Forget about financial freedom if you do not have a definite point.
Financial freedom is different for everyone. However, it's still important to have your definition of it. Is it $2 million dollars? $5 million? 6 rental properties?
Or something less ambitious like mine - when passive income exceeds monthly expenses by 50% or more...
Whatever it is for you, it has to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-related. In other words, it has to be S.M.A.R.T.
But they all share one common theme - not worrying about money without an active job.
If you do not have a definition of financial freedom, then you'll be chasing the horizon.
And we all know how that ends...
Not Thinking About It Constantly
I have this belief that if you want to excel in something, you have to be a little obsessed over it.
No, not that kind.
I mean you have to be constantly thinking about it, visualising it, writing about it and living it.
This little blog right here keeps me in alignment with what I'm trying to achieve. I track, I measure, I ponder and I share my thoughts.
If it all works out, I'll achieve that elusive freedom.
If it fails, at least everything I've tried will be documented here.
And there's certainly value in that as well - something others can learn from.
You're Already Financially Free
Needless to say, the last and only valid reason why financial freedom is not for you is because you are already free.
In fact, financial freedom should be taught in school as if it is the goal of education.
In retrospect, school would have been much more meaningful if I had lived my life backwards - by first understanding this whole rat race conundrum and financial freedom first.
Then reverse engineer the whole thing.
Perhaps then, we would all be doing something we really want to do.

Big names join Kirkistown line-up in bid to fine-tune trophy preparations
It's the opening round of the Northern Ireland Championship but tomorrow's Pacenotes Stages Rally at Kirkistown has attracted drivers whose ambitions may well lie elsewhere.
Drivers like former Irish Tarmac and National champion Declan Boyle along with Marty McCormack, Connor McCloskey, Jonny Greer and Peadar Hurson are viewing the North Armagh club event as an opportunity to shakedown new cars or iron out any early season issues.
Boyle will use it to see if the engine problem which dogged his WRC Ford Fiesta during last weekend's Galway International has been resolved before he starts his Irish National campaign while for McCormack it will be his first serious run in his new R5 Skoda Fabia ahead of the British Championship, where he is expected to be joined by Greer.
Hurson, too, will be out in a new car, his recently acquired WRC Fiesta, before the start of the Irish National series and McCloskey, also getting to grips with a WRC Fiesta, has opted for Kirkistown instead of the Cambrian Rally in Wales and his planned start to the BTRDA Championship.
They all fit into an entry list which is headed by last year's winner Kenny McKinstry, who will be running an S8 Subaru Impreza instead of the S14 he won in 12 months ago. His Banbridge base, in fact, houses three S14s but they have all been booked by other drivers this weekend and he said: "Customers come first."
Those customers include Tom Cave, who will be having his first outing in an S14 in Wales.
Reigning NI champion Derek McGarrity starts at No.2 in the R5 Fiesta in which he won last weekend's New Year Stages at the same Kirkistown venue. He finished ahead of McCloskey who starts at No.3 followed by Greer, Boyle, Hurson and Alan Carmichael in a McGeehan Motorsport WRC Mini.
Robin Phillips, the champion back in 2000, returns to drive an S10 Subaru at No.8 and Kieran Graffin makes a first appearance in Keith Cronin's 2016 Tarmac Championship-winning R5 Citroen.
The event consists of six stages, all contained within the Kirkistown race circuit, starting at 10am.
Meanwhile, Desi Henry is one of a number of Ulster drivers heading to tomorrow's Cambrian Rally, an early outing for the Irish forest champion and his R5 Skoda ahead of the British Championship.
Unlike Martin Cairns, who is also in Wales with his WRC Fiesta, Henry won't be attempting to make an overnight dash back to Ireland for the Loughran Memorial Rally at Carrick-on-Suir.
The entry list there is headed by Cronin in an R5 Fiesta, a prelude perhaps to his bid for a fourth British title with the M-Sport Ford team. If all goes well at Kirkistown, McCormack will be there too, as will former forest champion Josh Moffett in his R5 Fiesta.
Topping the motorsport bill this weekend, of course, is Rally Sweden which began last night with a short superspecial stage at Karlstad. In yesterday's shakedown stage, the Citroens of Kris Meeke and Craig Breen were right up at the front, the latter second fastest behind the privateer Fiesta of Mads Ostberg with Meeke fourth.
"Sweden is a chance for us to have a fresh start after our frustrating event in Monte Carlo, and we had a nice run in shakedown - we learned some things and our speed was quite good, so I'm happy," said Meeke.
"A few drivers decided to save their tyres, because shakedown counts towards our total allocation for the event. But there were only a few tenths of a second between the top four or five cars."
The big surprise was World champion Sebastien Ogier, the Monte Carlo Rally winner, who was off the pace in his M-Sport Fiesta after three shakedown runs.

Mobile devices have become larger than PC sales while 86% of adults own a mobile phone and 52% access the internet with it. Mobile Internet use is up because it's more convenient and we carry them everywhere we go. Mobile Internet is becoming the Internet. To ensure these mobile users don't encounter any problems when they try to access your website and interact with it, you need to have a mobile friendly website.
Should My Business Have an App?
While apps are a good fit for some businesses, for most, a mobile website is a better solution. The problem with many apps produced by small to medium businesses is instead of enhancing someone's mobile experience, they actually take away from it. If someone just wants to see when your business is open or if you're currently having any sales, they can simply navigate to your mobile website and find out within a matter of seconds.
But with an app, they first have to download the app (which may require typing in their password for iTunes or an equivalent account), followed by going to their home screen and launching it. Because that can be a hassle, many people will simply abandon the process and go with a competitor that isn't as complicated.
How to Make a Great Mobile Website
The most common mistake businesses make in regards to a mobile website is simply cloning their existing site. One of the main strengths of a mobile site is you can optimize it to provide the best possible experience on a smaller screen. Since what's ideal for a 3.5″ iPhone screen is obviously going to be different than the best design for a 14″ laptop screen or 22″ desktop screen, here are the key areas of mobile website design where you want to focus:
While it's fine to use images, be sure to compress them so that your site loads quickly even when it's being transmitted over a slower mobile connection.
Easy to Read
Use large font sizes so people can read the text on your mobile site just by glancing at it.
Emphasize Contact Information
You'll want to put the phone number and address for your business at the very top of your mobile site. You may also want to provide a map or at least a link that automatically loads your address into Google Maps.
Simplified Navigation
If your standard site has a lot of menus, you'll want to consolidate them into a shorter list of mobile navigation options.
Ability to Switch
Although most people will prefer your mobile site, some may want to access your full site on their mobile device. To avoid frustrating them, be sure to add a Switch link to your mobile site's footer.
Don't Forget to Test
Prior to rolling out your new mobile website, don't forget to ask your family and friends to test it out on their various mobile devices. Not only will this allow you to catch and fix any technical glitches, but it will also give you a chance to get feedback in terms of how usable people find your mobile site to be.
Once you've completed testing and ironed out any kinks, you can push the site live and start fully engaging potential customers regardless of where they're accessing your site from!

Consultants in mayor's race give post-game analysis
Posted by Emily Heffter
In a post-election confession session Monday night at a Belltown bar, the chief strategists from Joe Mallahan's failed mayoral campaign portrayed their candidate as overly altruistic and so unable to stay on message that they hid him from the public.
Speaking frankly to a room full of people at a forum sponsored by the political blog PubliCola, consultant Jason Bennett said he doubted anyone who watched the campaign could seriously suggest that Mallahan should have spent more time in the public eye.
"I would say it was part of our strategy, not to put him out there more often," he said.
Mallahan was uncomfortable promoting himself and thought out loud too much, said his campaign consultant, Charla Neuman.
On the winning side, Mike McGinn's campaign consultant, Bill Broadhead, said he regretted the tone of a controversial robo-call the campaign made alleging that Mallahan was aligned with the National Rifle Association and wanted it to be legal for people to take guns to parks.
"I kind of wish we hadn't done that," he said.
And Broadhead revealed that after the primary, the campaign sought endorsements from labor and business groups, hoping that by winning the primary, they would have earned credibility among Seattle's power elite.
"It was pretty cold out there," Broadhead said, and added: "Then the strategy was to win with no money and no endorsements."
Later in the campaign, McGinn bashed Mallahan for taking donations from big labor and business.
Mallahan's consultants dished about the candidate's post-primary disappearance, when they were putting him through what the campaign called "mayor school," trying to get him up to speed on issues.
McGinn's consultant said a volunteer took McGinn to the Nordstrom Rack 30 minutes before the KING 5 debate to buy the sometimes sloppily dressed candidate a new red tie.
In the end, both campaigns said it came down to authenticity.
"We didn't let Joe be Joe," Neuman said.
Broadhead said the campaign never urged McGinn to shave his beard or speak through a spokesperson.
"If you draw a tight box around them, then what you give up is authenticity, and authenticity is the stock and trade of politics right now," he said.

The lack of trust between the citizens and members of the Nigeria Police Force has compounded the security challenges in the country, as the NPF is regarded as one of the most corrupt institutions in Nigeria.
Before now, the Police Force was seen as a place for the not-too-good, and even today some families would never willingly allow their children to join the NPF, especially because of the reputation Nigerians have come to know them for over the years.
While there are indeed disciplined men and women in the Force, bad eggs have crept in and sullied the image of the police, many of whom are still destroying that already mangled reputation.
The lack of professionalism has engulfed the police so much so that hardly a day passes without one hearing of the involvement of a member of the police force in one form of crime or the other.
If they are not accused of extra-judicial killing, it will be bribery or aiding and abetting crimes.
The most recent is policemen's involvement in armed robbery attacks. Though this has been going on for several years, the number of armed robbery attacks which involved policemen has reached an alarming level; and this is all across the nation.
On 16 October this year a traditional ruler alleged that a serving senior police officer was among the robbers who went on a shooting spree during which 23 people were killed in Dogon Dawa village, Kaduna State, north central Nigeria.
Emir of Birnin Gwari, Alhaji Zubairu Jibril Mai Gwari, who made the allegation said that the deadly robbers launched a pre-dawn attack on the village, apparently to free four of their colleagues who were arrested and detained by vigilantes a few days earlier. The armed robbers killed the village head, one of his sons, some villagers as well as nine worshipers coming out of a mosque.
Mai Gwari spoke when he received visiting Kaduna State Governor, Patrick Yakowa, General Officer Commanding (GOC), 1 Mechanised Division, the state Police Commissioner and the Director of State Security Service (SSS).
He alleged that a police officer his people knew very well led the team of armed robbers to Dogon Dawa, and urged authorities to arrest and prosecute him.
He was quoted to have said: "Since I made my statement in public and before the governor and other security chiefs, I know what I am saying. The police officer, who my people and the armed robbers call OC, led the gang that massacred my people."
The enraged ruler also alleged that the said policeman attempted to stop the arrest of the four suspected armed robbers when the Dogon Dawa vigilante team went to pick them up.
It was not the first time that police officers would be involved in robbery but this particular incident attracted international attention because many lives were lost while the police, who were supposed to protect lives and property, were said to be behind the killings.
The traditional ruler also alleged that when the gang of armed men invaded the community, it was the OC that led and showed the robbers the places to attack.
"This is why I would personally ensure that the man is investigated," the Emir fumed.
Following the revelation, the Zaria Area Command of the Police Force ordered the arrest and detention of the police officer in question.
However, the Emir of Birnin Gwari said he was sure that the officer was not in detention; he said he suspected that the erring officer may have been transferred to another command.
But the Kaduna State Police Commissioner Olufemi Adenaike or the Command's spokesman DSP Aminu Lawal are yet to respond to the Emir's allegation.
Cases of police involvement in robbery operations have been on the rise, which makes people ask how these criminals find their way into the police force.
In the last few years, recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force has become a contentious issue as people say if one pays a certain amount of money, he could be recruited. While the truth or otherwise of this has not been ascertained, certain matters need to be looked into and deductions made.
On 4 October, the Nigeria Police College, Kaduna was reported to have told journalists that it had found a robbery suspect among recruits undergoing training in the college.
The Commandant of the college, Alhaji Sanusi Rufai, told newsmen in Kaduna that the suspect was named by suspected members of his gang after they were arrested by the police in Abuja.
The commandant said details of the suspect's identity were forwarded to the college, and he was arrested and transferred to the appropriate police unit for investigation.
Rufai said the suspect was among 25 recruits the college disqualified for various inadequacies identified during training.
The commandant said some of the students were found to have presented forged school results, others had criminal records, "while some were withdrawn based on health grounds."
He added: "Some of the recruits have sight or hearing challenges, while a few others did not attend the schools whose certificates they presented."
Rufai said the college would continue to screen unfit persons out to ensure that only those with knowledge and good character were allowed to train as policemen and women.
As at the time of the discovery, more than 4,000 recruit constables were currently undergoing a 15-month basic training at the college. The discovery was just in Kaduna. Nigeria also has Police colleges in Maiduguri, Borno State; Oji, Enugu State and Ikeja, Lagos State.
One can imagine how many people of shady character have found their way into the Police Force. Deductive reasoning says up to five per cent of new recruits may be of dubious character, which will eventually rub off on another 20 per cent when they eventually get posted to cities, towns and villages.
This raises the issue of what kind of people are being recruited into the force, how the recruitment is carried out and the criteria for recruiting policemen.
Though the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Frank Mba, affirmed in an interview recently that police officers are not a collection of angels and that the force has continued to fish out the bad ones and dismissed them. He noted that the force does not have to do a DNA test for a new entrant, but when the force discovers any deviant behaviour, neccessary steps are always taken.
Mba added that in some cases it is usually too late to trace such deviant behaviour because such a person would have grown in the service and become a senior officer. By then, the damage has been done.
It is obvious that there are no mechanisms in place to weed out criminals who join the force, hence they have continued to commit crimes even while in uniform. The only available means is the screening which is mainly guess work; even then a very high number of people of questionable character find their way into the force.
Our checks traced this problem to the fact that the police have not imbibed a tradition of discipline in the way of recruiting people into the force. Some of the problems include nepotism and bribery. Prospective recruits have been known to bribe their way into the police force, and officers at the recruitment centres cannot swear they don't know this.
These crooked men eventually get into police uniform, they engage in all forms of criminality— renting out their guns to armed robbers, providing information to robbers, intimidating people, helping land speculators grab other people's land, mounting illegal road blocks, helping smugglers by escorting their goods and actually robbing people at gun point, among many others. It is therefore not surprising that some policemen and even officers have been caught or linked to many crimes.
It was widely suspected that policemen were involved in the recent robbery incident in Lagos, during which some police officers and civilians lost their lives.
Further checks revealed that recruitment is no longer based on merit, if it had ever been. It is whom you know and how much you can afford. By implication, all manner of unqualified people are enrolled while credible people do not get recruited.
According to police sources who did not want their names in print for obvious reasons, "the rot in recruitment exercise begins when the forms are made available to candidates.
"Those who are qualified are disqualified during the screening exercise and all kinds of people are brought in through the quota system, after a specific amount has been paid through an agent.
"Again, top officers in the force and influential people in the society send the names of their candidates."
"Most people that come through these ways are usually deviants and criminal-minded young men and women whose relations consider them a thorn in their fresh and push them out to the police to enable them have peace in their homes, families and communities," the police source added.
But Mba denied the claim that police is a dumping ground for deviants. He said majority of officers have reputation, integrity and are well educated to help imbibe professionalism into the force. He noted that the few bad ones are gradually being shown the way out.

At least the greatest I've ever seen…
Even though it happened in Kansas City, and I only got to see it on TV and then about a million times on replay, the catch Jim Edmonds made over the tip of his cap in straight away center field is easily the greatest baseball catch of all time. Keep in mind; this shot was taken from the camera-well, even with third base. Viewed from home plate, all you see is Jim's cleats and backside. I've been searching for the video of this, butt to no avail. If anyone ever finds it, please pass it along.
Baseball Weekly rates it as the 3rd most amazing play of all-time!
I just needed something to reminisce about after last nite's horrible display by my Angels.
oh, I ganja
I have often wondered how we ever got to this whole idea of sending along (aka forwarding) things that humor us, or enlightened us, or scare us, on to our friends and families simply because we receive them as emails from one of our other friends or family members. Is it a way of keeping in contact with the ones we love? Is it simply that there is a forward button on our email program, or are we so afraid that our own words aren't as good as the ramblings of someone else? And why don't we do this with other things in our lives? When you think about it, when was the last time you "forwarded" a Christmas card, or a hand written letter from someone, or a parking ticket, or your paycheck? Well, if you're like me, never. All of these things have your name on them and are yours for the keeping, and personalized just for you, and that is the key.
Here is my challenge for all of you. And I will admit, this isn't my idea, it is only my idea to pass the challenge on to you.
Richard Carlson: author of "Don't Sweat the Small stuff, and it's All Small Stuff" writes in one of his chapters that each week you should write a "heartfelt letter" to someone you know. Imagine, instead of a New Year's resolution to lose weight or some other self serving endeavor, you resolve to do something for someone else. Something simple, something from the heart, something that takes more thought than to simply add their name to the long list of names you are about to forward that silly chain email to.
I'll admit, I'm not perfect, and I don't write my letter every week. But I do try. The best part: when I get a personalized, heartfelt letter in return. I guarantee I never forward it.
If you feel like sending this on, be my guest, nothing bad will happen if you don't. If it gets more people writing letters, then it was worth it. Remember, no matter how bad you write, your words mean a lot more to the person you are sending them to than the words of someone else.
It is a phenomenon no doubt. Seemingly ordinary, mild mannered, well adjusted people, women, children, grandparents, all hiding behind the anonymity of their internet connections, ranting, raging, cursing, berating, insulting, bashing, criticizing and just plain being rude to the rest of the on-line community, who are all doing the exact same thing in return. What the hell is this world coming to?
Before the internet and email and chat rooms and myspace and online dating, we got our news from the newspaper and the TV, we got our mail from the mail box, we chatted on the telephone or in person, there was no world-wide narcissist network and we met our future lovers and spouses through mutual friends, at school, at church, in public! In short, we interacted with each other in more personal, face to face ways. We were a society, I would argue, of much more polite and socially mindful people, with a real understanding of cause and effect with regard to our words and deeds.
If a man made an inappropriate suggestion to a female at a bar, he got slapped, or a drink poured on him, and rightfully so. "Please" and "Thank You" were common phrases. If there was a difference of opinion, the way it was voiced was tempered by the possible response one would receive. Letters to the editor were signed (if you wanted any chance of getting them printed.) We took responsibility for our words. We had to. The person we were directing them at was standing right in front of us, or at the very least, knew from whom or where the words came.
Enter the Internet; the ultimate creator of cowards, or at least the enabler of them.
Now - with no possibility of repercussion - inappropriate, rude, and even downright belligerent comments are made online every second of every day. A whole generation of people living by the credo "The pen is mightier than the sword!" and right or wrong, they are getting away with it, because no matter how mighty, the sword needs a physical target.
Like those who feel a car (or better yet, the largest SUV on the block,) is well suited as an instrument of persuasion, so are those who hide behind the safety of their computer screens, mocking, ridiculing, insulting, berating, all without a single thought or worry of the consequences. If only the person they were directing their hate laden words toward were standing within arms reach, would they be so bold?
oh, I no ganja
The 6 game (longest since April 2002) losing streak has ended. Although, I fear it is not, if this is the end of the pain for this year, I'd say we got out without suffering too much damage. How did we do it, you ask? With the help of three rooks, two making their major league debuts and one becoming the 92nd player in history to homer in his first major league at bat. What a day! Too bad it happened in Detroit! Now, since the rooks picked up the vets today, maybe some of them will learn how to hit again.
And now, a quick note on Tim Salmon. Even though he has cooled off a bit, he has shown that he can still hit big boy pitching for power. We weren't expecting .300 and that's fine. He is still a dangerous hitter, and a huge asset to a team of increasingly young players that need a veteran of Tim's experience and attitude around for the dog days.
Angels snap longest skid since '02, cool off Tigers
oh, I ganja!
As if the U.S. didn't have enough problems, with North Korea and Iran possibly developing nuclear weapons, the ongoing terrorist hailstorm in the Middle East, the future bird flu pandemic, the illegal immigration issues here at home, do we really need to go looking for another bees nest to stir up right now? Can someone just put a fucking muzzle on our pea brained vice president before he starts another cold war?
Russian Officials Angered Over Vice President Cheney's Remarks
I have no problem acknowledging that Russia has its problems both internally and beyond its borders. I can also can acknowledge that they too tend to apply pressure to those states that are not playing ball the way they'd like, but for the U.S. to even mention in passing that Russia is somehow overstepping ethical boundaries by using its natural resources to gain advantage or that they are unfairly restricting the rights of its citizens is just plain fucking hypocritical.
It is this holier than thou mentality constantly displayed by our government pinheads that continues to get us in hot water with the rest of the world, and continues to fuel those with less than honorable motives with plenty of material to justify their own self serving agendas. Russia could absolutely be an exceptional ally of ours if only we would stop insulting them and pissing them off. We are not the mother, father or big brother of all the world's nations. The fact is we need Russia on our side, if we are to check this jihad by the less fortunate, IQ challenged, religious zealots intent on destroying this planet in the name of Allah.
If we want the rest of the world on our side, or the very least stop telling us how to go about our business, we need to keep our noses out of theirs.
oh, i ganja
Shut The Fuck Up!
It is also probable that we will spend even more than all of this combined in subsidies to nations where these drugs are coming from, most notably Mexico, Columbia, South Africa, and Afghanistan (yep, we give Afghanistan millions if not billions of dollars to combat the cultivation of opium poppies) and we can only guess where all this money actually goes. Curious the production of opium from Afghanistan has increased nearly ten fold since we ousted the Taliban (who were surprisingly effective at curtailing the opium industry when they were in power.) Perhaps our government will finally realize that the very freedoms we enjoy and fight for are the catalysts that enable the proliferation of drugs through the exercising of those freedoms.
The fact, which is so unbelievably easy to see, is the war on drugs is un-winnable. I would even argue that the more money we throw at this war, the more ineffective we will ultimately be at fighting it. We live in a society of freedom, capitalism and gluttony; three of the worst enemies to good judgment, equity and temperance, yet we as a society continually fool ourselves into thinking that can somehow control the masses by throwing unfathomable amounts of money toward a war we cannot hope to win.
Opponents to true freedom of choice would have you believe that the only outcome would be anarchy, but I would argue that the problems facing our nation stem from the government's propensity to limit our freedom when they see fit to save us from ourselves. With ultimate freedom comes ultimate accountability and responsibility. Imagine if we spent that $50 billion on education. Effectively producing more intelligent, accountable and productive future members of our society, who, if they chose, would do drugs, or not, but either way would do so responsibly, and without impeding on anyone else's right to do the same.

A Spanish version of the Star Spangled Banner?
Immigrants, who "love" this country sooooo much yet, have no desire to learn the language spoken by the majority of its inhabitants, the language used to form the country through its declaration of independence and constitution and the language in which every single law is written and will ever be written. They say ignorance of the law is no excuse, but what about no comprenda le lay? Is that a valid defense? If this is to be your country, then it is also to be your society, your community, your neighborhood, and if you truly want to be a part of it, the rest of us speak English!
And what of the immigrants that built this country? The Irish, Italians, Greeks, Polls, Germans, Slavs et al, have all learned to read, write, speak and yes even sing in English!
Why, for the love of god, must we continue to pander to a faction of immigrants who demand special treatment when every other immigrant before them gladly adapted and integrated themselves into their new beloved country and all without a single nation-wide protest?

McKinney's gender, race card flop
Sometimes being black or being a woman has nothing to do with someone's reaction to your arrogant, self entitled actions. Actually, what playing the race card can do in some instances is prove just how much of a racist the one playing the card is. Although, in my mind, this case is pretty darn clear, many cases of supposed racial injustice are handled with such kid gloves that no one ever supposes that the one crying foul is really the racist.
Take for example, our very own resident racist; the compulsive, self serving, (exactly what makes him a reverend,) media whore, piece of cow dung, Jesse (please don't point that dogmatic finger at me again) Jackson. Does no one have the balls to stand up and call him what he is? Is the fact that he happens to be black and one of the most outspoken abusers of the race card somehow shed all scrutiny by the learned public, our nation's leaders and judicial system that he is in fact one of the most blatant racists of our time?
I know nothing of Rep. Cynthia McKinney except this. She needs to apologize to congress, to the Capitol Hill Police officer whom she has tried to try in the media to cover her own lack of good judgment and sense, and just do her job. You know, the one her constituents elected her to do, and leave the race and gender cards to those who truly play them best.
My apologies to Gloria Allred. Although you certainly deserve it, being the self appointed champion for all things gender and an even bigger media whore than JJ, I simply had no energy for you today, but I'm sure we can all draw the parallel.
Oh, I ganja
After a year of thinking I would never see him play again, Tim Salmon had an uncharacteristic spring training. Tagged with the label "notoriously slow starter" throughout his career, Tim needed a good, but more likely great, showing this year just to make the team. What Tim did was bat .340 with 4 home runs and 10 RBI with a sizable number of at bats for a veteran, and in doing so, displaced young buck Dallas McPherson for the final roster spot. Read All About It. Now it's up to Tim to stay healthy and produce the way we all know he can.
WAY TO GO TIM! So glad you decided to finish out your career with the Angels.
In 2005, the US government paid approximately $352,000,000,000 (that's $352 billion) in interest on our national debt. Coincidentally, the yearly budget deficit under Gorge W has been right around 400 billion. Actually a bit more, but we aren't into shaving points here for the sake of argument. Anything over a few hundred million and what does it really matter? It's all play money to dem politicians. But wait, here's a big news flash for you bickering stuffed shirts. Actually, it's OUR money!!!
When one really stops to think just how much $352 billion is, most of us, (including your's truly) have no way to relate, and really have no way to put that amount of money into perspective. I mean, I could have ranted today on the actual national debt, but that would have been even more an unfathomable concept at over 8 trillion dollars than the pittance that is only the interest payment.
So, how about we try and put a visual on this massive interest payment (and you thought a few hundred dollars a month on your credit card was a lot…) At $352 billion, that is about $1 billion a day (again, why quibble over a few million.) Still, since none of us has actually seen a billion dollars (see MediaWatchBlog,) I'm betting it's still too large a number for the average citizen (again, myself included.) to comprehend. So… even though we could further break this down by the hour ($42 million,) the minute ($695 thousand,) or even the second ($11,575) so we get to a figure that looks even remotely like something that might actually reside in our bank accounts, why don't we just try to visualize what our daily payment of $1 billion is, seeing as our government and those reporting these grotesque numbers to us seem to think we can easily wrap our heads around a number such as a billion.
Let's take a stack of $1 bills, shall we? It takes approximately 150 of them to make an inch, and 1800 to make a foot. So, if we were to stack today's interest payment in $1 bills, we would have a stack 611,111 feet high. Hmmmmm. I still have no idea what that would look like. 611,111 feet is almost 116 miles! Alright, well, I kinda know what 116 miles looks like; at least I think I do. It is roughly the distance between the downtowns of San Diego and Los Angeles. It is, interestingly enough, the minimum orbital distance of the Space Shuttle. Alright, so after further thought, since I have never seen the space shuttle in flight, I'd say 116 miles of dollar bills is still something I can't really imagine.
What I am really trying to point out here is how huge our national debt really is. So huge in fact that the average citizen has no concept of how much money we are talking about. Okay, so, we're spending 1 billion dollars a day in interest. Doesn't sound so bad, I mean, it's only 1 billion. Better than 2, right? Maybe because 1 is a number we can all identify with, the fact that it is only 1 makes it more palatable I guess. Until you realize that our government spends more on interest on our national debt than nearly every single major line item in the federal budget! Including: education, law enforcement, environmental protection, medical research, transportation, energy (or better yet, the development of alternative forms? More on this later, I'm sure,) and homeland security. In fact, put them all together, and you still don't have what we pay in interest!
Just imagine if we had an additional $352 billion to budget.
Oh, I ganja!
When something becomes clear, when a wrong is righted, when vengeance is yours. It doth not matter when, where or why. It is an epiphany, the clairvoyance to conjure up the stolen data tapes, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to go do, that voodoo, that you do, so well. When we finally see past the layers of muck and grim our society has cloaked itself in, we exclaim "Oh, I Ganja!"
Let us not hide our heads in the proverbial sand. Let us question everything and seek enlightenment in answers. But wait, there's more! If you act now, we may even sprinkle in some truth with those answers...

The Huge Importance of Tiny First and Next Steps
The first step in any new project is often the hardest. At the beginning, the idea exists only in your mind with no tangible manifestations of it, and therefore no "proof" that it can be achieved. Our human nature is vulnerable to self doubt and fear, making our seedling idea susceptible to "it'll never happen" or "it won't be successful" types of thought patterns.
This is what makes our first steps so important. The first step marks a decision, a new direction; it declares that we will go forward despite our fears or self-doubt. The first step gives us momentum and belief in our project, whether its starting a personal hobby blog or an entire new business. I work with a lot of new bloggers and hopeful online entrepreneurs who come to me because they have a gap in their technical knowledge and that is preventing them moving forward. For some people the act of contacting me and setting up an appointment is an important step for them in signifying their commitment to their idea, and getting the knowledge they need in order to implement it. The lack of technical knowledge is often one of the first blocks people come up against and fortunately it's one of the easiest blocks to remove, but often lurking behind it are mental blocks that are more entrenched.

This power supply is very robust and provides all the power I need for my Quattro charger and my tenergy tb6 and could still power more.This baby is the cat's meow when it comes to charging. I have 3 double taps hooked up and could easily run a 4th. Top quality and a must have for those who charge a lot of batteries.Love this power supply. its so quiet! Fan only comes on when needed. So much nicer than my other one that runs the fans at full blast all the timeWorking good so far for the priceI was looking for a bench top DC power supply and the products I found locally were very expensive and topped out at 800 watts. After reading the reviews about this power supply I went ahead and ordered it and I am glad I did. OUt of the box it provides 17.59v and it powers two Turnigy V2 400 watt chargers without any problems.This unit seems to be of utmost quality, but could use two improvements. The cooling fans cycle fairly quickly, turning on and off about once every 30 seconds under a moderate/heavy load. If the fans ran at a low RPM all the time to remain quiet, then speeding up when needed would be awesome. The other thing is all four output voltages are adjusted by the same adjustment. It would be nice to have the 60 amp side and the 10 amp sides have their own seperate voltage control to be able to run some smaller 12v (max) chargers at the same time as the 18-24v (max) chargers.Just got mine in the mail. Tested it out and it works great. A little larger than I thought it would be, but not too big. I use it with an icharger 306b and tested it at 13.8v 28.8 amp charge. Never gets warm. Be aware the voltage adjustment is very fine, so it takes many turns to raise or lower the voltage output. It adjusts in .01 volt increments. Also, the cooling fans are a little strange. When the unit is under load, the fans only come on for a couple of seconds at a time (on-off-on-off every few seconds), which seems a little weird, since they are quite noisy and get your attention every time. Most likely either the temperature threshold for on and off are set too close together or the temp probe is directly in the airflow making it cool too quickly to stay on. However, this doesn't seem to impede the units cooling ability. But for this price, that issue can be overlooked. Quality unit, very satisfied!If I was newbie shopping for a PSU this is the one to buy. Not that I'd use all of it's capability right off but this is the last PSU I'd ever need to buy. It's quite, seems to be very well made, voltage output can be adjusted with amazing precision. The ONLY thing that could make it better would be if the voltage output could be adjusted for each pair of plugs individually.
I've been using mine for a couple weeks and it's been superlative in every way.This thing is beautifull, its beefy heavy as a brick and privides stable voltage from 13.8V to 17.8V. The quality is there you can feel it. The fan does not turn on unless necessary. I highly recomend this PSU. It came in on overpack box, with foam over the product, just like servers when they are shipped. If you are shopping for PSU, get this one, its the last one you will ever need to buy.Simple advice with this unit, turn the power off before disconecting charger, it scared the crap out of me the first time I didn't turn the power off before disconecting the charger, it sparks and snaps so bad

A little over a month ago, Scott wrote on early-season NHL awards. A lot has changed since the end of November, and I want to revisit one particular award: the Calder. According to the NHL, the Calder Trophy goes to "the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the National Hockey League." This definition lends itself to interpretation. There is no mandate that the award be given to the highest scoring rookie, or the one deemed "most valuable" to his team.
So how is the award given out? The past three winners have been Artemi Panarin, Aaron Ekblad and Nathan MacKinnon. Panarin led all rookies with 77 points last year and MacKinnon put up 63 in his freshman year, so certainly much emphasis is put on scoring. Ekblad was bested scoring wise by the likes of Johnny Gaudreau and Mark Stone, but still managed 39 points from the back end while playing big time minutes as an 18 year old. So, it helps to score in bundles, but consideration seems to be given to players who step in and play big-time roles for their teams.
This year, there is one player that stands-up on both fronts. Back in November, we gave the award to Patrik Laine, and at the time he was the right call. The second-overall pick came out firing, leading the early scoring race. At this point, however, he has been eclipsed by the player who went one spot ahead of him in the draft, Auston Matthews. The battle between these two young stars has been the headline leading up to the draft until now, and will hopefully continue to be. Right now, Auston Matthews is winning that battle.
From a pure production standpoint, the race is neck-and-neck. Laine heated up early, and currently sits first in rookie scoring with 36 points (21-15) in 41 games. Laine has done what he was drafted to do: fill the net. He has two hat-tricks in his young career and four multi-goal games. The longest he has gone without a goal is six games in the middle of November. He has also shown an ability to pass the puck, playing well alongside Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers. Laine seems to relish the responsibility, and this line gives the Jets one of the deadliest young lines in the NHL.
Auston Matthews is right next to him though, with 34 points (20-14) in 37 games. After scoring six goals in his first six games, Matthews fell into a slump going goalless in 13 games from October 27 to November 22. Since then, he has 14 goals in 18 games. Whatever monkey was riding his back has hopped off, and Matthews seems to have found his scoring touch. In the scoring race, Matthews has only one less goal than Laine in four less games.
But we've said that the Calder may not be awarded purely on who scores the most as a rookie. Both players have clearly stepped in and given their teams hope. The league's rookies are its biggest selling point, and these two are leading the way. On the ice, their impression is left on more than just the scoreboard. Here again, though, Matthews takes the cake. He drives possession with a 52.5% CF. His SF/60 stand at 37.5 while his SA/60 are at 30.3. This is especially impressive considering he is playing top-line minutes, theoretically against the opposition's best. Laine likewise plays top-line, but his numbers actually hurt his team's average somewhat. His CF% is 46.6 with SF/60 at 25.8 and SA/60 at 32.9.
Matthews' numbers suggest that he drives possession for his team greater than does Laine for his, and right now he's scoring at a higher rate than any other rookie. He is winning the Calder Trophy race. The season is not quite halfway over, but if Matthews' numbers hold, he should be the clear-cut winner come June. Laine may very well end up with more goals, but what Matthews means to his team – driving possession as a first-line center – sets him apart.

Our Sidesaddle line has gained a large following because of their convenient placement of shells right where you need them for a fast reload. We have now taken the Sidesaddle to the next level with our slimline version. The Sidesaddle utilizes a non-glare, anodized aluminum backing plate material as our traditional Sidesaddle; however we have contoured the plate so that it takes up less space on the receiver and has fewer areas that could potential snag. Additionally we have changed the shell carrier itself to our proprietary flexible synthetic rubber material, which offers durability and weather resistance as well as secure shell retention. Like the backing plate, the shell carrier also is smaller is size than our traditional sidesaddle, adding to its sleek appearance. 12 Gauge Only.

Movies of the Week:
Q Film Festival
The fourth-annual event tied to the Center Long Beach's Pride Day Weekend features lavish parties; workshops; the screening of 10 new films; and bonus viewings of the 1981 picture that demonized wire hangers, two John Waters' trashterpieces on back-to-back midnights and a raw, funny and, at times, painful documentary about the "winner" from season one of TV's Project Runway. Events bounce between the Center and the Art Theatre, which are a few doors away from each other on East Fourth Street.
In a nod to the shitty economy, the festival kicks off at the Art with a free 2:30 p.m. Friday showing of Mommie Dearest, Frank Perry's scathing bio-pic on Joan Crawford that is based on the book by the screen legend's adopted daughter, Christina Crawford. What better way to watch the volcanic, inebriated, overeyebrowed Ms. C, played to the drag-worthy hilt by Faye Dunaway, than with $4 mimosas?
Friday also includes the world premiere of the short film Let It Reign: Imperial Court, in which mother-and-son filmmaking team Kathleen and Camrin Pitts take viewers on a ballroom-dancing excursion steered by drag queens and kings. That's followed by Don't Go, director Amber Sharp's new television series taped in Long Beach that's described as "Melrose Place meets The L Word." There's an audience Q&A with the directors and cast members after. The festival's Opening Night Party at the Center, beginning at 7:45 p.m., includes drinks, hors d'ouevres and entertainment by Jennifer Corday. Next comes a screening of the feature film Tru Loved, which is about teen girl uprooted from the loving San Francisco home of a lesbian couple and moved to "a conservative, suburban community in Southern California." Huh, wonder where you find one of those? The screening also has an audience Q&A with the director and cast members. The night is capped at 11:30 p.m. by Mondo Celluloid's presentation of a fully restored, 25th-anniversary, 35mm print of Waters' 1972 gross-out Pink Flamingos, complete with Divine, chicken fucking and dog-shit eating.
Saturday begins with a 1 p.m. workshop on "How to Make Your First Short Film" facilitated by Camrin Pitts at the Center. The film made during the workshop will be shown at the Art on Sunday night. Next comes Brittany Blockman and Josephine Decker's documentary Bi the Way, which crosses the country in search of the truth about bisexuality. Savage Love columnist Dan Savage and the Village Voice's Michael Musto are among the interviewees, and the doc is followed by a panel discussion. After that, it's "Fun In Women's Shorts" short films: What I Found in Great Aunt Nell's Closet, Long Ago, T, Hung, Sondra Stingray: Sapphic Gumshoe, The Perfect Gender (from UC Irvine's Breanna Hansen), La Carona and I've Got You. There's also an audience Q&A with directors and cast members. Men get their shorts in a bunch, too, but not before the Shorts Party at the Center with filmmakers, drinks, hors d'ouevres, more drinks and entertainment by Francesca Valle. Then comes "Fun In Men's Briefs": El Abuelo, Saving the Boom (John Keitel's doc that just premiered at the Newport Beach Film Festival about the unsuccessful attempt to keep Laguna Beach's fabled gay bar the Boom Boom Room open), Laundromat, El Primo and Dirty Magazines. Directors and cast members from those also subject themselves to audience grilling before the program moves to Shane Morton's one-night-stand shortie Ogles With Goggles (Tom Gustafson's Were the World Mine, a re-imaginingg of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream set to lush music) and Mondo Celluloid's midnight screening of Waters' Female Trouble.
Sunday starts with A Place to Live: The Story of Triangle Square, Carolyn Coal's documentary about the first senior center in the country for elderly gays and lesbians that is not called the "Balboa Bay Club." An audience Q&A with filmmakers follows before it's on to Douglas Hunter's short The Constant Process, a documentary about the Reverend Susan Russell of All Saints Church in Pasadena. She'll be present to take questions from the audience, but not before a screening of David Rothmiller's lauded doc For My Wife, which is about a woman who was barred from the bedside of her dying partner. Remembering Harvey, the bonus documentary in the DVD version of Gus Van Sant's Milk, screens before an audience Q&A with special guest Cleve Jones, who worked with Harvey Milk, The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, and, currently, the Long Beach Coalition for Good Jobs & A Healthy Community. The aforementioned short What I Found in Great Aunt Nell's Closet precedes Shamim Sarif's feature I Can't Think Straight, which proves some Middle Eastern women are not immune to going lesbo. Next it's the Closing Night Party at the Center with drinks, hors d'ouvres and entertainment by Kristi Jo before it's back to the Art, where drag queen Nikki Coldwater hosts screenings of the short film created in the Saturday workshop followed by C. Fitz's documentary Showgirls: Provincetown, MA, which is about a drag stage production of Paul Verhoeven's critcally panned, homosexually adored Showgirls.
Monday through Thursday, May 14, the Art screens Eleven Minutes, which followed Jay McCarroll for the year after he was labeled "the next great American designer" in winning season one of Project Runway. Michael Selditch and Robert Tate's documentary was well-received at the Newport Beach Film Festival. Q Film Festival at Art Theatre, 2025 E. Fourth St., Long Beach, (562) 428-5435; and the Center Long Beach, 2017 E. Fourth St., Long Beach, (562) 434-4455. Fri.-Thurs., May 14.

The best way to work with the Agis source code is to have it as a project in Eclipse, a Java IDE. You can also find the AGIS index here for reference to the code: http://www.atavismonline.com/docs/api/
You can download eclipse from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. You only need Eclipse Standard.
Note: Eclipse is not installed, but rather you just run it after extracting the files you downloaded.
Follow the steps below to set up the AGIS Project in Eclipse
1) Extract the AGIS source file rar contents to a location of your choice. Make sure the full path is extracted (the root folder should be called 'src').
2) Choose File > New > Java Project
3) Un-tick the Use default location checkbox, then click Browse and find the src folder you extracted from the rar. You may want to rename the project.
4) Click Next.
5) Click on the Libraries tab and click on Add External JARs…
6) Find the atavism.jar file in the dist/lib folder of the atavism server files.
7) Click Finish. Your project will now be set up.

Glycemic Index
Helping you to manage your blood sugar levels with the Gi food list and Glycemic Load
Low Gi Pasta Dish image uploaded to flickr by PhyrePh0X
Many diabetics successfully base their diabetic diets on the Glycemic Index (or Gi) but does that mean you can benefit from the Glycemic Index too?
Several studies have shown that the Glycaemic Index has a beneficial effect on your blood sugar levels and can therefore, help to improve your diabetes control. So keep reading to discover how you too can benefit from Gi Foods…
So what's so special about the Glycemic Index?
The Glycemic Index is basically a ranking system for carbohydrates, foods that break down into glucose when they're digested.
Foods with a High Glycemic index – or High Gi – will release sugar into your bloodstream rapidly and will spike your blood sugar levels (which could lead to hyperglycemia).
But if your food has a Low Gi, it will gradually release sugar over time, making you feel fuller for longer and will help stabalise your blood sugar levels and prevent a Hypoglycemic Attack.
In a nutshell, following the gylcemic index in your diabetic diet will help you understand how your blood sugar levels will react to certain foods and can help you improve your diabetes control.
This is why many diabetics successfully use the Gi diet to control their blood sugar levels and even lose weight.
Can the Glycemic Index really help me lose weight?
Eating foods that are broken down slowly will give you a steady release of energy. This way you won't feel hungry so often. Making it easier to avoid the cookie jar :^)
Combine this with a balanced diet – as seen in the Food Groups page – and you'll find it easier to improve your weight control, helping you to lose weight!
How is it measured?
The Glycemic Index scales from 0-100 and is split into 3 groups:
- High
- Medium
- Low
Anything with a high GI get absorbed into our bloodstream faster than other Gi foods. Some of these foods can still be healthy in a balanced meal, but when eaten on their own, high Gi foods tend to spike your blood sugar levels.
These foods scale from 70-100, Glucose being at 100.
Example of high GI foods: Most of the foods in the Simple Sugars food group.
Foods with a medium GI are scaled from 56-69. Eating these foods won't necessarily benefit your blood sugar levels but generally won't spike them.
Example of medium GI foods: Some beans, pulses and tofu have low-medium GI's making them great vegetarian meals in combination with other low GI foods.
Also, most of the foods in the Fruit and veg food group have medium GI's. You don't have to worry too much about this unless you have huge portions.
Foods with a low GI are digested slowly, meaning they release energy and sugar, slowly (maintaining your blood sugar levels) and keep you fuller for longer. Wholesome foods are an example.
These foods scale from 0-55.
Example of low GI foods: Most of the foods in the Grains food group.
Alternate measurement: Glycemic Load (GL)
Whilst this isn't as common as the GI, it is sometimes better.They are GI values that take into account the typical portion size.
For example, fruit and veg moves from medium on the GI scale, to low on the GL scale. I won't say anything else about it as it can get confusing. Also, it is harder to get used to. But if you'd like more information on the GL keep reading.
Do I have to avoid all high GI foods?
Not really. There may be a time when you might need a high GI snack to quickly recover energy. I referred to this here, on the Simple Sugars page.
But there's even more flexibility to Gi foods. High Gi foods aren't necessarily unhealthy. Brown rice and baked potatoes fit this bill as they have high Gi values.
But you wouldn't normally eat a plain baked potato or brown rice by itself would you?
So the rest of the food on your plate can reduce the average GI of your meal and that's what's important.
If you combine high GI foods with low GI foods the overall GI rating is reduced. So you can eat sweet and savoury dishes with little worry, at any time of the day.
How will I know the GI/GL of a food?
Supermarkets are getting good at labelling own-brand foods with a low GI label. So you can pick up similar, branded foods as they will have a similar GI.
Glycemic Index (and sometimes Glycemic Load) values will usually appear on the back/side of the package underneath the Food Label and may sometimes have a Gi logo.
Overtime you will easily be able to tell whether a food as a low, medium or high GI. Until then, here's a list of many foods and their GI values.
A complimentary food database that can help you manage your diabetic diet is the Calories in food Gadget. It will give you the real food labels for any food you type in, giving you useful nutritional information on its calories, cholesterol, sugar content and more.
So to access the the Calories in Food gadget head from the Glycemic Index page to the Free Calorie Counter page, here.Or use the NavBar (navigational bar on the left of this page) for more options.

Awesome Blooms Bowl
1. Wipe ware with damp sponge to remove bisque dust.
2. Using a pencil and a soft tape measure, measure and mark the bowlinto 16 equal sections around the rim.
3. Use the tape measure to stretch from one mark on the rim to theopposite mark on the other side of the rim and lightly trace along theline from point to point. Continue this process, dividing the bowl intopie shapes. This will help with the even placement of each section asshown in the photo.
4. Next mark bands around the inside of the bowl to create thedivisions for each layer of petals. Finish the medallion pattern bylightly sketching in the petal shapes and some design details. Use asoft towel to lightly clean the inside of the bowl of any excess pencilmarkings or dust.
5. Using the bamboo skewers, thoroughly mix each of the FrenchDimensions colors to ensure that the color is smooth and eventhroughout the bottle. Replace the tip and cap and shake the productdown to the tip of the bottle.
6. Using the photo as inspiration, begin in the center with each FrenchDimensions color as shown and use the product to outline the pencillines to create the entire dimensional pattern. Work from the center ofthe bowl out and continue one row all around until complete beforemoving on to the next row of petals and details. Check the patterncarefully that everything is neat and that all the details and designwork has been added to the pattern. Feel free to add as many details asdesired to embellish the design. Allow the French Dimensions to drythoroughly.
7. Before beginning to glaze, shake and mix each of the Designer Glazesthoroughly to the proper consistency. Thin with a small amount of waterif needed to allow for a nice smooth, flowing coat of each color.
8. Using the No. 6 Round or the Fan Glaze brush as needed, for thefirst coat, be sure that the glaze is a slightly thinner consistency sothat the glaze will flow right up to and over the French Dimensions forgood adhesion to the dimensional product. Continue to apply three coatsto each section as shown, working the glaze up next to and over theFrench Dimensions as needed for each petal and detail. Allow each coatof glaze to dry thoroughly. Follow color placement as shown in thephoto.
9. Apply three flowing coats of Carbon Chiffon to the backside of thebowl, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly.
10. Check the piece carefully for any misplaced color and touch up asneeded.
11. Stilt the bowl and fire to witness cone 06. Use a stilt stone toremove the stilt marks after firing.

TMT legal update: ICT curriculum changes focus from program use to program creation - .PDF file.
The Department for Education (DfE) has published the national curriculum for computing that will come into force from September 2014. The curriculum covers key stages 1 through to 4 — children aged between five and 16 — and has been designed to have computer science theory at its core.
It will replace the former ICT curriculum disapplied in 2012, which focused more on the use of computer programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel.
Under the new curriculum, pupils will be taught how to understand and apply the fundamental principles of computer science, such as abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation…
