text: no surprise... :cow04: The NSA has been targeting the Tor anonymising system to spy on its users, suggests a report. German public broadcaster ARD said two Tor servers in Germany were actively being watched by the US spy agency. Citing information given by official sources, ARD said almost anyone searching for Tor or installing it could be watched by the NSA. Tor hides users' location and identity by randomly bouncing data through some of the machines making up the network. Data is encrypted during the hops to better conceal who is visiting which page. Information passed to ARD suggests the NSA has tapped into traffic to and from two German directory servers used by Tor to scoop up the IP (internet protocol) addresses of people who visited it. Data passing in and out of these servers was vulnerable because it was unencrypted. Other directory servers might also have been watched. The addresses the NSA grabbed were monitored via an analysis system it developed called XKeyscore, said ARD. XKeyscore works by snooping on information passing through the few exchanges around the world where data hops from one ISP to another. Data grabbed from these sources was used to build up a a profile of the web browsing habits associated with those IP addresses. Sites offering several other anonymising and privacy tools were also watched, said the ARD report. "Merely searching the web for the privacy-enhancing software tools outlined in the XKeyscore rules causes the NSA to mark and track the IP address of the person doing the search," it said. A spokeswoman for the NSA told news site Ars Technica: "XKeyscore is an analytic tool that is used as a part of NSA's lawful foreign signals intelligence collection system. Such tools have stringent oversight and compliance mechanisms built in at several levels. "All of NSA's operations are conducted in strict accordance with the rule of law." http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28162273 --- Russia Offers BIG Reward To Crack TOR, Russia has offered 3.9m roubles ($110,000; £65,000) in a contest seeking a way to crack the identities of users of the Tor network. Tor hides internet users' locations and identities by sending data on random paths through machines on its network, adding encryption at each stage. The Russian interior ministry made the offer, saying the aim was "to ensure the country's defence and security". The contest is only open to Russians and proposals are due by 13 August. Applicants must pay 195,000 roubles to enter the competition, which was posted online on 11 July and later reported by the tech news site Ars Technica. Earlier this month, Russia's lower house of parliament passed a law requiring internet companies to store Russian citizens' personal data inside the country. Russia has the fifth-largest number of Tor users with more than 210,000 people making use of it, according to the Guardian. US-funded network Tor was thrust into the spotlight in the wake of controversy resulting from leaks about the National Security Agency and other cyberspy agencies. Edward Snowden, the whistleblower who revealed the internal memos and who now has asylum in Russia, uses a version of Tor software to communicate. Documents released by Mr Snowden allege that the NSA and the UK's GCHQ had repeatedly tried to crack anonymity on the Tor network. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28526021

To honor the 50th anniversary of the Philadelphia 76ers, beat writer Jason Wolf is counting down the top 50 players in franchise history each day in The News Journal.
Joe "Jellybean" Bryant came off the bench for the team that reached the 1977 NBA Finals, which the Portland Trail Blazers wonin six games.
The Philadelphia native, today better known as "Kobe's dad," played power forward and center over the course of his eight-year NBA career, averaging 8.7 points, 4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
Bryant starred for La Salle University and was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 14th overall pick in the 1975 draft. He was sold to the Sixers before the start of his rookie season.
I've already heard from a few of you since we started this series in this morning's paper, and that's great! Here's part of one notable email:
My dad and I saw Joe play beginning in the 75-76 season. Gene Shue was the coach he even used him at the two guard on occasion pair with # 3 Fred Carter, who I expect should be on your list. One funny Bryant story the Sixers were playing the Bullets, and in those days if they scored 125 points or more or hold the opposition to 76 or less free Jumbo Jack Sandwiches for the house from Jack in the Box. The Sixers are blowing out the Bullets and Byrant calls time out with 3 seconds left. Gene Shue is furious and the Sixers score 125 Jumbo Jacks for the house.
What are your memories of Jellybean Bryant? Please share them in the comment section!

CAHSEE English Practice Questions
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Daniel Boone will always occupy a unique place in our history as the archetype of the hunter and wilderness wanderer. He was a true pioneer, and stood at the head of that class of Indian-fighters, game-hunters, forest-fellers, and backwoods farmers who, generation after generation, pushed westward the border of civilization from the Alleghenies to the Pacific. As he himself said, he was "an instrument ordained of God to settle the wilderness." Born in Pennsylvania , he drifted south into western North Carolina , and settled on what was then the extreme frontier. There he married, built a log cabin, and hunted, chopped trees, and tilled the ground like any other frontiersman. The Alleghany Mountains still marked a boundary beyond which the settlers dared not go; for west of them lay immense reaches of frowning forest, uninhabited save by bands of warlike Indians. Occasionally some venturesome hunter or trapper penetrated this immense wilderness, and returned with strange stories of what he had seen and done.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. The houses in Peking are built in a very rambling fashion, covering a large amount of ground, and our former house was no exception to the rule. It had sixteen small houses, one story high, containing about 175 rooms, arranged in quadrangles facing the courtyard, which went to make up the whole; and so placed, that without having to actually go out of doors, you could go from one to the other by verandas built along the front and enclosed in glass. My reader will wonder what possible use we could make of all of these rooms; but what with our large family, numerous secretaries, Chinese writers, messengers, servants, mafoos (coachmen), and chair coolies, it was not a difficult task to use them. The gardens surrounding the houses were arranged in the Chinese way, with small lakes, stocked with gold fish, and in which the beautiful lotus flower grew; crossed by bridges; large weeping willows along the banks; and many different varieties of flowers in prettily arranged flower beds, running along winding paths, which wound in and out between the lakes. At the time we left for Paris , in the month of June, 1899, the gardens were a solid mass of flowers and foliage, and much admired by all who saw them.

An Garda Siochana: Detective Adrian Donohoe Rest in Peace
I meet so many incredible people online. I talk about you at work. I tell funny stories from comments on my blog and relay the Twitter conversations that make me smile. I've met police officers from around the world and learned about our differences but more than that, I learn what all my brothers and sisters in blue have in common. We are a worldwide family.
I spent this past Tuesday at the shooting range having a great time. For some reason though, it left me with a pinched nerve in my neck and a raging headache. No old age comments please. I don't usually get headaches so I wasn't very accommodating for the next few days while it ran its course.
But, I woke up Saturday feeling better and decided to catch up on the social media end of writing. I checked in with friends, read their Tweets, and read new blog posts.
I have a good police friend in Ireland who entertains me constantly with his humorous wit. His wife doesn't think he's quite as funny but it's obvious he's loved. I first noticed his Twitter avatar picture had changed and then I started reading the Tweets I've missed.
For my friend Jason, life has not been good and he's in a rough place right now.
On Friday, an Irish police officer/detective tragically died. In Ireland they're called "An Garda Siochana." Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, a father of two, was gunned down a half mile from his home as he tried to stop fleeing suspects during a robbery at a credit union in Co Louth.
Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe's wife and two brothers are also An Garda Siochana and share the brother and sisterhood of the badge. From reading the articles about his life, Garda Donohoe and his family have dedicated their lives to protect the people they serve.
Regardless of the thousands of miles and great ocean separating our service, Detective Garda Donohoe wore a badge and I honor his life and sacrifice. My friend Jason's sadness has no barrier when touching my heart and I grieve with him. For everyone who served with Detective Garda Donohoe, these next months will be incredibly difficult. Please stay safe!
To all Detective Garda Donohoe's family, friends, and brothers and sisters in blue; may his memory bring you comfort, may his sacrifice make you proud and may you find peace in knowing we never forget those who give their lives to save others. Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe may you Rest in Peace.

Bad Luck Update: Domestic Abuse, Pink Handcuff Tour, and Talk Radio
"Tis' the season to beat your wife."
This has been my before and after holiday slogan since becoming an officer. I don't mean to be snappy or humorous. Domestic violence effects every economic group, gender, race, and religion. I'm no longer on patrol but I keep my ear to police traffic and backup fellow officers on domestic calls. In the first ten days of the year I've dealt with uncontrollable fighting brothers and a homicide/suicide threat with a lethal military knife. The brothers went to the hospital and the knife suspect went to jail, and no he was not a Veteran.
Our report log fills with domestic situations almost daily. I encourage my readers to get involved. Report domestic violence and learn about its impact on our children.
A few wonderful resources are:

Your gift can be as small as forwarding these links to someone in need and/or donating a used cell phone. Thank you!
Pink Handcuff Tour
I spent this past weekend on my couch with a box of Kleenex, hot herbal tea, and a stubborn head cold. I won't call it the flu because I got my flu shot. My poor husband took care of the animals, cooked for me, and listened to me moan and groan through his birthday.
Whining like a baby didn't keep me from being productive though. I managed to write 5,000 words on my next Bad Luck book, YEAH! I'm planning a summer release and also using my creativity to outline a pink handcuff tour. It's in the early planning stages but here's my idea.
I want to send my extra pair of pinkies (non-fur lined) to fellow readers and bloggers that think they can come up with fun photos using my pink cuffs. Sorry, no nudity allowed 🙂 I'll post the pics on my blog and let readers choose the best one(s). The winner gets to keep the handcuffs and I'll pony up a gift certificate to someplace like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. I'm stealing the idea from the Mr. Bacon tour but I don't think he'll mind. I would love to see what my blogging friends and readers come up with.
Put your creativity caps on and start thinking about what you could do with pink handcuffs and yes, I'll be sending the keys too. Email me at: suzieivy at gmail dot com, if you want in.

End of Watch 2012
The End of Watch for an officer culminates at the funeral when his or her watch/patrol is turned over to fellow officers. The dispatcher who monitored the officer at their time of death makes the last radio broadcast and officially passes the watch to his or her brothers and sisters in blue.
Just A Little Thanks
By: Katelyn Lord, Wyoming Valley West 8th Grade
(1st place county winner of 2006 S.O.L.E. Cultural Arts Contest)
You are brave, strong, and willing
To do what most would not dare.
I thank you for all the help
And my promise to you is, I will care.
I will obey the law,
I will respect what you do and say,
I will tell my friends to be aware of,
What you Sacrifice for us each day.
Thank you, Katelyn
My dread builds as I turn on my computer to enter the web address for the Officer Down Memorial Page. I go through these feelings every year. I put it off and check my email, cruise Twitter and peek in on Facebook. Finally, my delays are over.
Every picture is a smiling face; showing pride, hope, and joy for life. Each officer has loved ones at home who will never be the same and will mourn their loss forever. My tears make it hard to read their stories and pay homage. But, if they can die in blue, I can wipe my tears and praise their sacrifice.
There were 124 line of duty deaths in 2012. Every officer death is one too many but the number dropped 29% from 2011.
The most dangerous states to work as a police officer are Texas, leading the country with 11 officer deaths, Georgia at 7 followed by Colorado with 6. The deadliest months for line of duty deaths were January at 18, and 14 each in August and September.
There were 18 K9 deaths this year. Having served with a K9 dog I feel they deserve a mention for all they do.
111 male officers died and 13 female officers. 47 of the fallen were shot, 12 physically assaulted and 5 stabbed. Vehicles took their toll again with 40 deaths. Medical issues including heart attack stand at 15 with 5 miscellaneous deaths.
The average age is 41 and the average tour of duty is 11 years and 10 months. Domestic violence and drug search warrants tie for the deadliest events in which officers died.
Remembering…Park Ranger Margaret Anderson, End of Watch January 1st 2012
Park Ranger Anderson was shot and killed while attempting to stop a fleeing suspect near the Longmire Ranger Station in Mount Rainier National Park, in Pierce County, Washington, at approximately 10:30 am.Another park ranger had attempted to stop the suspect at a snow-chain checkpoint near the Paradise Ranger Station, but the suspect fled before being intercepted by Ranger Anderson, who had set up a roadblock. Unbeknownst to Ranger Anderson, the suspect was wanted in connection to a shooting the previous day where four people were wounded.
When the suspect reached Ranger Anderson's roadblock, he made a U-turn, exited his vehicle, and opened fire. Ranger Anderson was shot before she was able to exit her patrol car.
After being shot, Ranger Anderson radioed for help as the suspect fled on foot. Responding units attempting to reach Ranger Anderson were held at bay for approximately 90 minutes as the suspect continued to fire on them. The suspect's vehicle was recovered with additional weapons and body armor inside.
The suspect's body was found the following day about six miles from the initial shooting scene.
Ranger Anderson had served with the National Park Service for 11 years. She is survived by her husband and two young children. Her husband also serves as a park ranger in the park and was on duty at the time.
Remembering…Police Officer Sean Callahan, End of Watch December 18, 2012
Police Officer Callahan succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained the previous day during a foot pursuit in Stockbridge, Georgia.
He and other officers had responded to a domestic disturbance at a motel on Davidson Parkway. As officers attempted to arrest the male subject he began to resist and fled on foot. The officers chased the man around the motel where the subject opened fire, striking Officer Callahan in the head twice. Other officers returned fire, killing the subject. The subject had a long criminal history and had just been released from prison seven months earlier.
Officer Callahan was 24 years old and had served as an officer for only four months.
Remembering…Police Officer Arthur Lopez, End of Watch October 23, 2012
Police Officer Lopez was shot and killed while attempting to arrest a hit-and-run driver at the intersection of 241st Street and Jamaica Avenue, Nassau County Police Department, New York
Officer Lopez and his partner observed a vehicle they believed had been involved in the hit-and-run accident near the border of Nassau County and New York City. The officers followed the vehicle into Queens, where they conducted a vehicle stop. The subject opened fire on the officers after they approached and exchanged words. Officer Lopez, who was not wearing a vest, was struck in the chest.
The subject then fled in his vehicle. He abandoned his vehicle and carjacked a citizen, fatally shooting the driver.The subject was arrested several hours later and was suffering two self-inflicted gunshot wounds. He was identified as a former convict who had served four years for attempted murder.
To my brothers and sisters in blue…wear your vest, buckle your seat belt, and stay safe.

High Minimum Wage Linked to High Unemployment
August 20, 2003
The number of states with minimum wages higher than the federal level has increased from six to 14, despite rising unemployment rates. Higher minimum wage laws keep the least skilled workers out of the labor force, say experts.
According to a study by the Employment Policies Institute (EPI), states with high minimum wage rates also have high unemployment rates:
- Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, California, Massachusetts and Connecticut have the highest minimum wages in the country and account for 20 percent of America's unemployment "black spots."
- The three states with the highest minimum wages -- Alaska, Oregon and Washington -- have the highest unemployment rates in the United States.
- High wage mandates tend to hurt the entry-level job market, because it increases labor costs and makes competition for jobs fiercer.
- Less skilled workers aren't able to take advantage of on-the-job training that can boost their skill level and wage, says EPI.
Thus, as a 1995 Michigan State University study found, far from helping the poorest residents of a state, minimum wage laws may actually keep the least skilled workers out of the job market.

I'm still having a hard time getting over the 'Damaged' tattoo on his forehead. Basically, all we have to do is take one look at Leto's Joker, and we can surmise that he's loonier than Luna Lovegood smoking weed!
We have less than two months until we can see Harley and The Joker's bad romance on the big screen. So, expect a ton of new information to come out before it hits theaters. David Ayer recently sat down with Yahoo Movies, and had these words to say:
"The tattoos tell a very specific story, and eventually people will decipher them and understand what's going on, but obviously they're contentious, any time you do something new it's contentious. There's very specific stories and easter eggs in those tattoos."
Speaking Of Tattoos
Now, I might be grasping at straws, and everything I'm writing could be total rubbish. Let me get this out of the way: If Barbra Gordon was the one to knock The Joker's teeth out, then his grill (dental caps) could be a reminder for Batman, about his upcoming revenge. Okay, that's a little far out there, but you never know. Or, maybe he just like grills (dental caps).
I know there were two little puncture wounds on Leto's torso, and I'll have to see the movie first to fully understand what those mean. Now, let's talk about how those tattoos could prove that Batman dropped him off a Batcave, just like in Death of the Family. It is a cinematic adaptation, thus they could change certain events and have it be the night he killed Jason Todd. Or, they could have keep it relatively the same. Or something entirely different.
Playing Cards
Dionesium is the stuff that makes Raz over 500 years old and at its purest, Vandal Savage an immortal. I recently read an article from What Culture, and it made me think twice about The Joker's tattoos -- especially after Ayer's comments. I disagreed with parts of the article and this theory I came up with after I finished the post! Enjoy!
Most of his tattoos are rather easy to explain, like, the dead robin. Remember the jester's hat on top of the skull? I believe, that's The Joker's way saying the old me is dead and gone. He's not in the mood to be Batman's fool anymore. Just like what he did in Batman - Endgame.
He also has multiple tattoos of playing cards. Y'see. playing cards oftentimes signify luck, and The Joker's mighty lucky surviving a cliff-dive, right? On his left shoulder, he has a deck of cards with the saying, 'All in'. He's basically saying, 'Hey, Batman, I'm done with this dance, and I'm going to kill you!'
On his back, there's literally a guy in a jester outfit, holding a hammer. If you're familiar with Death of the Family, then one must wonder what story goes along with this? Honestly, what else could that possibly mean?
On his arm, there's a bat insignia with a knife piercing its heart. This also makes sense, if it's a warning to Batman. Hey, you broke my heart, now I'm going to break your's. Or, he's taunting Batman about killing Jason Todd.
In the WC article, he claimed that the smiley face above Joker's pants-line -- was a homosexual reference in prison (In prison, they use eyes instead?). I'm not sure, but The Joker loves Batman, and I don't see it in a romantic type-of-way. I see it as The Joker thinks Batman is the only person in the world that actually gets him. I could be wrong.
Now, I could be totally wrong, and they're just tattoos of a mad man. I'm not sure. Let's just think for a moment that I'm right. This probably means that Leto's Joker is the big bad for Suicide Squad. With news of Affleck's standalone Batman being mostly made up of original material, then one must wonder will this deal with the Joker's Toxin?
This is just my interpretation of Joker's tattoos for Suicide Squad. I'm probably wrong, but it's curious to think about what story is The Joker trying to tell? If this version of The Joker freshly renewed, from the healing powers of Dionesium, then this could get very interesting! Or, I'm completely wrong. Either way, I can't wait to find out this August!
What do you think the Joker's tattoos mean?

Looking for a replacement coil balance
A quick learner from Pennsylvania says:
July 24, 2013
I'm looking for the coil balance that would go with Coil Bushing 15-143 and Coil Bushing Cap 15-144. I see it says Use with Series 150 and Series 152 coil springs, however those coil springs don't match up to what our customer has. I've attached several pictures that will hopefully help with identifying. It has an 8 stamped on the coil so i assume that's and 8lb. The approx size of the window is 34 x 53. It's a single hung tilt in. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Thank You,

The fourth Cheesecake/SoC iteration has been completed -- code name emmental. Here are some stories that Michał implemented in this iteration:
- Implement --static command line flag, which makes Cheesecake do only static tests, that don't execute any of package code. This is useful for example for the Cheesecake/PyPI integration, where we'll only look at 'static' indexes such as documentation and installability, as opposed to 'dynamic' indexes which involve code execution, such as unit test coverage;
- Make execution of some parts of code depending on "static" flag.
- Implement static "profile" - a subset of all indices that scores only statically.
- Technical detail related to this story: a nice touch from Michał was the implementation of index dependencies via this changeset
- Implement --lite command line flag, which makes Cheesecake ignore time-consuming tests, such as the pylint test;
- Static unit test analysis (lots of work still to be done here);
- Use Michael Hudson's AST-based pydoctor package
- Compute proportion of number of code/functions and tests.

Acapella matching
Is it easier to match and start with an acapella and match it with insrumentals, or start withe the instrumental and put an acapella over the top?
Re: Acapella matching
I usually beat match* the acapella to the original track it came from in Ableton. So for example if I wanted to beat match the acapella of Where Is The Love by Black Eyed Peas I would first beat match the original track Where Is The Love and then beat match the acapella by playing the two alongside each other. This means that I can tell that I have beat matched the acapella in time as it is easy to hear when the vocals aren't matching up. Then I can think about putting the acapella over a different instrumental track.
I do this as personally I find it easier to beat match a full track than just an acapella. Hope that is of some help!
*I say beat match but I don't know if that is the correct term - I basically mean the equivalent of warping in Ableton Live

7 Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. 8 They shall eat the flesh that same night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs….12 For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments-- I am the LORD. 13 The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.'"

For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, "It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat…. 31 The house of Israel named it manna, and it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like wafers with honey.
Christ in Exodus – The Manna and the Water
Exodus 17:3-6 3 But the people thirsted there for water; and they grumbled against Moses and said, "Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?" 4 So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do to this people? A little more and they will stone me." 5 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pass before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Christ in Exodus – The Manna and the Water
John 6:31-35, 48-50 31 "Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.'" 32 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world." 34 Then they said to Him, "Lord, always give us this bread." 35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.
Christ in Exodus – The Manna and the Water
John 6:48-50 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."

Christ in Exodus – The High Priest
Exodus 28:15-21 You shall make a breastpiece of judgment, the work of a skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet materialand fine twisted linen you shall make it. 16 It shall be square andfolded double, a span in length and a span in width. 17 You shall mount on it four rows of stones; the first row shallbea row of ruby, topaz and emerald; 18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond; 19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row a beryl and an onyx and a jasper; they shall be set in gold filigree. 21 The stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve, according to their names; they shall be likethe engravings of a seal, each according to his name for the twelve tribes.
The Priestly Garments:
Christ in Exodus – The High Priest
Romans 8:34 Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
Hebrews 9:11-12 11 But when Christ appeared asa high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
Place in the Canon – Exodus is the basis for the many of the customs of Israel. It serves as the foundation stone for the traditions that Israel celebrated up through the New Testament times and even today. It is also part of the historical basis for the continuing relationship between God and Israel. The prophets were continually looking back at God's redemption of the nation of Israel from Egypt as proof of God's love for them and as a demonstration of their obligation to be obedient.

Port Washington, NY - High-end area rug and home accessories house Safavieh has created custom collection of outdoor rugs for Delta to be featured in the airline company's new Sky Deck at Delta Sky Club at New York City's John F. Kennedy Airport.
This first-ever outdoor airport terrace for Delta opened its doors on May 24 as part of the airline's $1.2 billion expansion in Terminal 4 of the airport.
A second Sky Deck at Delta Sky Club is scheduled to open at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on June 10, and will also feature custom outdoor rugs by Safavieh.
This special program is part of Delta Air Lines' partnership with Architectural Digest and interior designer Thom Filicia, who was charged with developing the decks as distinctive spaces that would be extensions of the Delta Sky Clubs.
"We are honored that our rugs are featured in Thom Filicia's design for the new Delta Sky Decks," said Arash Yaraghi, Safavieh principal. "And we are proud to be in the company of the other beautiful furnishings Thom specified for the project.

Music: Box Sets
By Jim Caligiuri
The Austin Chronicle — Friday, December 11, 2009
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers | The Live Anthology | (Reprise) | ★★★★
The Live Anthology, a career-spanning Tom Petty collection (1978–2007), comes in enough formats to please fans of every stripe. The basic 4-CD, 48-track minibox and the 51-song, 7-LP vinyl set will please most, but if you need the full Heartbreaker experience, go for the deluxe box with an extra CD (upping the track total to 62), two DVDs of unreleased material, a vinyl pressing of the Official Live 'Leg bootleg from 1976, and a Blu-ray disc that contains all the material on the CDs in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound, plus posters, a large format book, and other memorabilia. Fanatics can visit the Anthology website, where there's even more content. Others have released similar live collections; Bruce Springsteen and the Grateful Dead come to mind, and like those endeavors, Anthology exposes the Heartbreakers' range and influences. While some may quibble that the set isn't chronologically ordered, that makes each disc more like a concert unto itself. All the hits and some deep cuts are present and accounted for, but the covers are the most interesting, from the obvious (the Byrds' "Ballad of Easy Rider," Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air") to the unexpected (Van Morrison's "Mystic Eyes"). On one of the DVDs, 400 Days, a previously unavailable document filmed during the making of 1995's Wildflowers and the resulting tour, Petty perfectly describes the band's enduring attraction: "There's really not more to us than what you see and what you hear. We're not trying to deliver any hidden messages. It's all really obvious. We're just trying to make good music."

Patisserie Valerie set to open in Belfast creating 25 jobs
Continental café and cake shop Patisserie Valerie is opening an outlet in Belfast.
The chain, which operates more than 100 cafés across the United Kingdom, will open its first Northern Ireland shop on May 24 in Donegal Square, creating 25 jobs.
The flagship Northern Ireland store will offer the brand's patisserie and cake range, which are handmade by bakers on site.
Paul May, CEO of Patisserie Holdings, said:"We're really excited about opening our Belfast café, especially as it's our first to open in Northern Ireland.
"Customers have been asking us to come to the city for a long time, our store in Belfast is just the start of our expansion into Northern Ireland, where we hope to open more stores in the future."
Patisserie Valerie was first opened in Frith Street in London's Soho in 1926 by Belgian born Madame Valerie. She came to London on a mission to introduce fine Continental Patisserie to the English.

Recently I received a present. It was a set of syringes given to me by a friend who works in a laboratory. I've always used syringes for water play, mark making, as air pumps in technology projects and for having fun in the snow. I've always chosen the biggest syringes I could find – 100ml ones.
But this set fuelled the mathematical fire within me. Have a close look at the sizes and see what you notice – this is just the sort of thing to ask older primary aged children. Can you see:
- The sizes of the syringes, as well as increasing in capacity, are mathematically linked.
- The numbers in the squares allow you to quickly measure a smaller quantity than the total volume of liquid possible. The three biggest syringes (10, 20 & 50ml) are all multiples of the smallest two (2 & 5ml).
- The capacity of the syringes are all multiples of 3 – 3, 6, 12, 24 and 60ml. Again this allows for lots of quick mental calculations.
So if I had enough packs of syringes, I would be challenging my class to work out the best syringe strategy for a water fight. For example, if you could choose between having 1 x 60ml syringe owned by one person or having 20 people on your team, all with 3ml syringes, which side is most likely to win? You will have to agree a set of rules for winning the fight and also what behaviours are acceptable or not.
So what is the best combination of syringes for the best chance of wining? I've no idea…yet… advice gratefully received.
(Oh and I have several sets of syringes so watch out!)

Centre hints at inking agreement with agitating tribals
Ekta Parishad, which is leading a march of tribals to Delhi to press for land reforms, is understood to have reached an accord with the Centre.
New Delhi/Bhopal: After days of parleys, Ekta Parishad, which is leading a march of tribals to Delhi to press for land reforms, is understood to have reached an accord with the Centre even as Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj S Chouhan will join the protesters on Wednesday in Agra.
Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday said that "the nation will get happy news" in Agra when the rally of landless poor, led by Ekta Parishad leader PV Rajagopal, reaches there this week.
"We are having a constructive view of the demands raised by Ekta Parishad and we have discussed a lot over it. I am happy that we are heading towards an agreement and the day after the nation will get a happy news from the city of Taj Mahal (Agra)," Ramesh told reporters after his meeting with the representatives of Parishad here today.
The Minister said he would address the landless poor in Agra on Thursday.
Under the banner of Ekta Parishad, headed by social activist PV Rajagopal, thousands of people are marching to Delhi from Gwalior demanding a comprehensive National Land Reforms Act and effective implementation and monitoring institutions to provide access to land and livelihood resources to the poor landless, homeless and marginalised communities.
The `Jan Satyagraha` began on October 2 and is scheduled to carry on for one month before culminating in New Delhi. The protesters would cover a distance of about 320 km by October 28.
Ramesh, who had gone to Gwalior along with Minister of State for Industry and Commerce Jyotiraditya Scindia to pacify the activists, said that "I am fully hopeful that when I return from Agra everyone will he happy.
"I will address from their camp and we are heading in a direction from where we can sign the agreement. I have full hope that the day after there will be a historic agreement in Agra," Ramesh said.
SC Behar, a member of the Ekta Parishad, said that "a detailed account is being prepared and the day after you may get some very interesting things.
"There is a hope that good things will happen the day after," he said.
Chief Minister Chouhan would reach Agra and take part in the `Jan Satyagraha` by marching with them for around 10 kms, Parishad coordinator Jayant Singh Tomar told PTI.
"Chouhan would leave for Agra tomorrow to express solidarity with those marching to Delhi on the issue of land reforms and right to shelter among other issues," official sources said in Bhopal.

Scarlett Johansson and Oxfam have parted ways, which means you're likely to see more of Johansson.
The actress has left her role as global ambassador for Oxfam, the nonprofit that combats poverty around the world.
At issue is Johansson's job as spokesperson for the Israeli company SodaStream, which sells home carbonation products. She's scheduled to pitch the company in a Super Bowl ad on Sunday.
SodaStream has a factory on the West Bank. Oxfam opposes trade with settlements in the region.
The perceived conflict of interest may also stir mixed feelings among those who support both Oxfam and environmental causes. Many consumers, including Johansson, see home carbonation as an environmentally friendly alternative to bottled soft drinks.
The ad created a stir even before the Oxfam dustup. In the original version, Johansson disses Coke and Pepsi. Fox, which is broadcasting the Super Bowl, was uncomfortable with the slight to two major advertisers. So an edited version of the commercial will air Sunday.
Oxfam issued a statement saying it had accepted Johansson's resignation, thanking her for eight years of fundraising and promotional activities.
Other ambassadors are shown in the map above. Also see our interactive version.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Canada's Largest Protestant Denomination Elects Openly Gay Leader
- Tanzania: Christian Teen Sentenced to Two Years in Prison
- Amish Fastest-Growing U.S. Religious Group
- Germany Ponders More Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Relationships
Canada's Largest Protestant Denomination Elects Openly Gay Leader
Canada's largest Protestant denomination elected its first openly gay leader at its 41st General Council on Thursday, Christianity Today reports. After nearly eight hours and six rounds of voting, the 350 members of the United Church of Canada selected Gary Paterson from a pool of 15 nominees, including three other openly gay candidates. "Among mainline denominations, as far as I know this is probably a first," Paterson told council members following the vote. According to the Ottawa Citizen, he "added that he was heartened that his sexuality had been a non-issue with those who voted." Paterson, who begins his three-year term August 18, will serve as the church's primary spokesman and preside over General Council meetings.
Tanzania: Christian Teen Sentenced to Two Years in Prison
A 17-year-old girl in Tanzania was sentenced to two years in prison after being accused of desecrating the Quran, Voice of the Martyrs reports. After Eva Abdullah converted from Islam to Christianity three years ago, her parents disowned her and a group of radicals in her hometown of Bagamoyo tried to persuade her to renounce her faith. When she refused, they falsely accused her of urinating on a Quran. Many Christian leaders were afraid to defend Eva because of Muslim dominance in the district, and on July 26, she was sentenced to two years in prison by a judge who was allegedly bribed by the Islamic militants. Tanzania has seen increased hostility to Christians because of radical Islamic influences.
Amish Fastest-Growing U.S. Religious Group
According to a new census by researchers from Ohio State University, the Amish are the fastest-growing religious group in America, WORLD News Service reports. The study, released July 27 at the Rural Sociological Society, says nearly 250,000 Amish now live in the U.S. and Canada, and the Amish double their population every 22 years. The growth can be attributed to the fact that Amish families have many children; some branches, such as the Old Order or "Wenger" Amish, average eight children per family. Another key component is that Amish children tend to remain within the faith when they reach adulthood. The U.S. states with the highest Amish populations are Ohio, with 60,000 Amish residents; Pennsylvania, with 59,000; and Indiana, with 25,000.
Germany Ponders More Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Relationships
A group of lawmakers from German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats called this month for same-sex couples in civil partnerships to be given the same tax breaks as heterosexual married couples, WORLD News Service reports. This continues a trend in Europe toward legal recognition of same-sex relationships, but the idea faces skepticism among some of Merkel's traditionally-minded German colleagues, who may be wondering about the long-term effects of the European experiment with sexual radicalism. Granting same-sex couples the same income tax breaks enjoyed by heterosexual married couples would add to a string of departures from conservative orthodoxy under Merkel's leadership, which have included abandoning military conscription and speeding up Germany's exit from nuclear power. In Germany, same-sex couples have been able to register civil partnerships that legally fall short of formal marriage since 2001. Heterosexual married couples can, unlike same-sex couples, reduce their tax burden by filing joint income tax returns, thus paying less than single taxpayers.

C&L's Late Nite Music Club With Ruth Brown
This sort of performance is what made Ruth unique. It was in the way she got her entire body into her performance that set her apart from a lot of her contemporaries. Not just in her movements, but in the way she would shift from singing to shrieks and back again. And not only was it entertaining, but it sounded different, which made her interesting to listen to as well as watch.
Know of any interesting performance styles?

On April 5th 2017 the Administration of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine hosted the 2nd Steering Committee Meeting of the Twinning Project.
The meeting was attended by the representatives of the Twinning Project, officials of the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine, representatives of EUAM and EUBAM, the Border Agencies of Germany, Poland and Lithuania. On behalf of the Ukrainian side, apart from the Border Guards, the representatives of the State Fiscal Service and National Agency of Ukraine on Civil Service took part in the event.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Deputy Head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Vasyl Servatiuk notified that for the State Border Guard Service it stayed to be a priority – to implement the EU best practices in terms of the border security, and underlined that together with the European colleagues the Service had similar views and common approaches to its securement.
He highly appreciated the results of the conducted work by the EU experts.
"I would like to emphasize on the high level of the experts being involved in the Project activities. Owing to this we already today can speak about the concrete results" – was highlighted by Vasyl Servatiuk.
Further the Twinning Experts presented the main activities' results conducted in the second quarter of the project realization, in particular, the legal workshop with presentation of findings of the legal analysis and presentation of the EU and EU MS national legislation including field visits to Border Crossing Points. Besides, the research and analysis of the achievements in the framework of the Integrated Border Management, the legal base and the legislative framework, as well as, the study visit to the Federal Police of Germany to familiarize with the main principles of IBM components were mentioned during the meeting.
It's worth pointing out that the Twinning-project team is fully contented with the level of cooperation with Border Guards. The transparency of the Border Agency, the professional level of the officers and the readiness towards EU standards' implementation, taking into account the national particularities of Ukraine, left great impression on the team.
In addition, the Project Leader of the Twinning Project Thomas Osterroth notified: "I am fully convinced, that we will successfully move on in this way and will step forward to achieve the overall objective of the project "the enhancement of the SBGSU' s capacity in the prevention of illegal migration and combating crime".
All the participants of the project indicated the effectiveness of the conducted activities during the reporting period. The Chief of the Risk Analysis Department of the State Border Guard Service Andriy Vikhtiuk pointed out that in general the Twinning Project, especially the Component 1 (note: "Assistance in monitoring and evaluation of the new IBM Strategy and Action Plan (2016-2020) implementation"), is considered by the Border Agency to be a platform for the enhancement of the State Border Guard Service's activity in the common system of IBM, the expansion of bilateral and multilateral cooperation not only on the national but also on the international levels.
Summarizing the Steering Committee Meeting, the Deputy Head of the State Border Guard Service Vasyl Servatiuk underlined that the Border Agency is looking forward to the start of the active phase of the 2nd and 3rd Components to observe the practical implementation of the Project realization.
It bears reminding that the 1st Steering Committee Meeting took place at the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine on 17th of January this year.

Shortest path to conception
Angie wrote:
As you know so well, it is extremely painful to experience a negative pregnancy test month after month.
The first few days after the result, depression would set in and I would feel very, very low. But I wanted to have a child badly and that would help me get through it and we would try again.
From the first time I looked at your program, I was very touched by your history and experienced I feel a real emotional connection with you. I wish I had found it earlier!
I am now planning to create a website to help women who are trying to get pregnant, or who are pregnant. And I will definitely recommend your program because I believe it provided me the shortest path to conception and that it can do the same for others.
Many thanks to you, Diana, for the Full Embrace Pregnancy Success Program and best of luck to everyone who uses it!

How To Get Pregnant Quickly And Naturally, Regardless of Your Affliction, Even At The Age of 40 - Or More!
I suffered from infertility for years. Like most people, I went to my doctors and asked them to "fix it". The doctors tried their best, and I tried everything they told me to do. Months became years.
But nothing was working. I wasn't getting pregnant!
Not until I spent years doing my own research and investigated fertility techniques from all four corners of the world did I finally break free of my infertility.
I tried everything I was told would work for years before finally discovering the extraordinary method that reversed my infertility and realized my dream to give birth to a child.
Since then, I have taken my story and my book around the world, and women from every walk of life have put these techniques to the test and proven their effectiveness again, and again.
And I stand behind this program with a no-questions asked, 100% money-back guarantee.

On moving day, Tina is shocked to discover that the hallway to her new apartment is the hallway from her dreams. Not wanting to worry Maureen and concerned for her sanity Tina attempts to forget it.

This morning, my day began with an email from a dear friend who had lost her mother this past week. Then an hour later another very good friend dropped by to pick up some of her paintings that I had picked up for her at a show. She invited me to go get a hot chocolate (but I had this hot vanilla milk thing - yum!) and we visited for two hours! I love talking to artist friends. While we were visiting, another friend called to let me know his mother had passed away on Sunday. I couldn't help but shed a few tears for the second time today.
Friends are so precious! So as I went to work to create a little art today, I was thinking about all my wonderful friends, sharing good times and sad times with them. Sharing is what makes the best of friends. Do you ever get with an old friend and it seems like you could just talk for hours?
I made a little ornament with a piece of a collaged page from a 1937 book titled "Behave Yourself!". It is an etiquette book for young people. One of my favorite excerpts is where it talks about personal hygiene; "Plan on at least one bath a day, but don't limit yourself."I had to laugh because I have been lucky if some of my teenagers would take even one bath a day. There are alot of other fun tidbits that I am sure will make interesting collages on my art in the future.
Anyway back to the ornament I made, it's from Chapter 12 "The Gift of Gab" and it is dedicated to wonderful friends that can't stop talking to each other!

Fatal Snowmobile Crash Near West Yellowstone – Victim Identified
There is sad news to report out of West Yellowstone where an out of state snowmobiler died yesterday.
There is sad news to report out of West Yellowstone where an out of state snowmobiler died yesterday.
There was a deadly crash today on Norris Road, taking the life of a 25 year old.

Very sad news to report this afternoon - a 44-year-old Bozeman woman is dead after a car accident on Cottonwood and Stucky this morning. Her 7-year-old child was severely injured and is at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital.
Let this video of a motorcyclist crashing at top speed into a passing truck be a lesson to all drivers: Motorcycles are dangerous, riders should always wear a helmet and Ryan Gosling probably won't be around to smooth things over when the two drivers meet. Despite the severity of the crash (which shatters the motorcycle in question), its rider miraculously gets up and walks it off.
A Georgia man was aware that his pickup truck had no functional brakes when he took it for a drive Wednesday afternoon. But the 24-year-old was under the mistaken — and likely Saturday morning cartoon-influenced — impression he could just stop the vehicle by sticking his foot out the door and dragging it across the pavement, Fred Flinstone-style.
