(The beautiful Rose created by Emma)
(Emma relaxing)
When Emma isn't busy doing all of these talents, she can be found actively participating in the SEEDs For Autism program, where she learns how to take the skills she is learning from SEEDs and makes functional marketable products. Currently in the SEEDs program she is really enjoying learning welding, woodworking and sewing. Her skills have been an asset to not just her, but the program itself, as Emma has proven great leadership skills, and works so well alongside her peers, that she occasionally is asked to be a mentor and helps teach.
(The Rose looks great on our canvas bags)
Emma is truly an inspiration and a joy to be around. Show your support and pick up one of her amazing pieces of art :) Thank you and have a great day !

5 Reasons why getting a Building and Pest Inspection on a potential investment property is a no brainer
Save THOUSANDS with stronger negotiation
Equipped with the knowledge you receive from a detailed building and pest inspection from The Hunter Inspector you could be positioned to save thousands or tens of thousands on your investment property. An investment property is a business decision and you should utilise every method you can to make sure you are not only mitigating risk, but also striving for a profitable investment.
Avoid deal breaker defects
Different property investors have different appetites for risk, think about your absolute deal breakers for a property. Whether it's termites, re-stumping or just an overwhelming amount of smaller issues it is paramount you get the details to make an informed decision to avoid a stressful investment and likely a loss.
Identifying a prime 'fixer upper'
Fixer uppers are highly sought after by investors, but a building and pest report will give you the information to make an educated assessment on whether you're getting an actual fixer upper or a dump!
Being aware of asbestos
During a building and pest inspection, The Hunter Inspector will highlight areas which have been constructed using materials which we suspect contain asbestos; while not a serious hazard when undisturbed, asbestos may add a significant cost to any renovation work you hope to complete.
Assessing time to occupy
Every day your property remains vacant is a cost you will have to wear. Are you hoping to put tenants into the property straight away in its current state and leave renovations for a few years down the track? Or are you planning on tidying up the house before getting tenants in a hope to increase your rental yield? A building and pest inspection will give you the information to make an assessment on how much work needs to be done to a property before you would be willing to put tenants in.
Upcoming big ticket maintenance costs
A building and pest report will give you a great insight into issues which may not require immediate rectification, but could worsen overtime and become bigger ticket maintenance costs.
Buying an investment property without a building and pest inspection is like purchasing a car without a service history, who know's what you're actually getting under the hood… The only difference is a 2nd hand car might be 20K whereas a home may be closer to 400K.

During Group Criticism sessions (and especially with the Skype Crit with Colorado State University students) it was suggested that my drawing style might lend itself to animation. I was deeply impressed when looked at the work the artists suggested, particularly that of William Kentridge.
As well as producing excellent artwork Kentridge also extensively documents his reasoning and creative process. This proved to be very helpful. I read about & watched Kentridge working on his animation & considered how I could test if would be successful approach for my work – both in producing the animation and the aim of the work.
I could see how animation might be useful. I am proposing to reach my audience in part though the Internet & I think, it not unreasonable, that many internet user's attention is more effectively caught using moving images.
Given the power & sophistication of the internet, why limit yourself to static images to get your message across?
The process?
Image capture:
I spoke to people on the course with animation experience. The animation process seemed rather elaborate to set up, required sophisticated software/computing experience & incredibly time consuming.
So I resolved to have a go at a "Lo-Fi" version.
Drawing board in front of a compact system camera on a tripod stand & a couple of lights. I did a quick pencil outline capturing an image every 2-5cms as I went.
The idea was that digital cameras number the captured image sequentially enabling them to be imported into an animation program in the order they were captured.
Computerised animation:
After a several weeks of conversations, experimentation & head scratching we decided the best way to animate this simple series of images was to use Adobe Bride to import them into Adobe Photoshop as layers. The layers could then be converted to frames, and timelines. After some more conversations & head scratching it turned out to be simple enough o export these as movie files. I ca assure you it's probably easier & less time consuming for me to show you than describe the process. Assuming you want to make your animation the way that I do mine.
An 7 frame anemation 28 MAY 14
Over the past 4 years I have amassed around 5,500 protective lancet caps from blood tests using One Touch UltraMini Blood Glucose Meter. I wondered if these could be put to work in a 'traditional' and ever popular button style stop motion animation.

You know, it can feel really good sometimes just to see the person you have a crush on. I sort of say that in the next song "I'm in Lust" with the line "I wanna shout out loud about how seeing you just pleases me." It's true, I really think that it can make you feel better. It's only when the person is gone that you curse yourself for being alone, or suffer what the singer in this song suffers.
I think I originally tried to use this concept in the first screenplay I ever finished, back in high school, but I eventually left it out because it seemed trite and cheesy. Obviously, as I've gotten older, I've gotten triter and cheesier. Also, I experienced the phenomenon this song describes enough times that it seemed necessary to talk about.
Special guest appearances
Do you think it's played-out if you're doing an old-timey country and western song to include harmonica, banjo, and washboard? You do? Oh... well, uh...
Just pretend you didn't notice the contributions of Debe Dalton (right) on banjo, Frank Hoier on harmonica, and our own Doug Johnson on washboard.
And if you're wondering who did the wonderful Spike Jones-style backing vocals during the solo, why that wasn't any sort of special guest at all, that was just li'l ol' me!
Chris Maher on "(Everywhere I Look) I See Your Face"
I've been getting lot of interesting pieces from folks, spurred by the ideas of some of these songs, like the Mike Baglivi and John Houx pieces up above. The newest one is from Chris Maher (right), which takes the obsessed, melancholy subtext of this jaunty little number and makes it the text. You can check it out at this link here.

Diabetes presents significant pregnancy risk
A major diabetes conference has been told that women with the condition who become pregnant without the necessary preparation run the risk of having a miscarriage or a baby that is disabled or stillborn.
Speaking at a joint meeting of the Australian Diabetes Society and the Australian Diabetes Educators Association now underway in Perth, Associate Professor Wah Cheung said women with diabetes should talk to their doctor at least six months before becoming pregnant.
"Women with pre-existing diabetes are at highest risk during pregnancy and must prepare well in advance," Professor Cheung said. "It's far too late to talk to the doctor after becoming pregnant."
Professor Cheung, who is based at Sydney's Westmead Hospital, said that uncontrolled blood sugar levels in women with type 2 diabetes posed the greatest risk to the health of an unborn baby, as there is a perception that type 2 diabetes is a less severe form of the disease. This is certainly not the case in pregnancy.
"Miscarriages, stillbirths and babies with severe disabilities such as spina bifida are not uncommon in women with poor glucose control while women with diabetes have higher rates of caesarean section, hypertension and pre-term births," Professor Cheung said.
He also warned that some diabetes drugs can potentially harm unborn babies.
Poor diets, inactivity and obesity are driving an epidemic of type 2 diabetes here and around the world. At least 1.7 million Australians already have or are thought to be at risk of developing the lifestyle-related condition and the number is rising steeply.
While urging females with diabetes to discuss pregnancy plans with their doctor, Professor Cheung said that GPs also need to be proactive in addressing preconception planning.
"GPs need to understand diabetes and pregnancy and the risks associated with uncontrolled blood glucose levels and some medications commonly prescribed to people with diabetes," he said. "They need to develop a plan that deals with these issues long before their patient becomes pregnant.
"When there is any doubt, doctors must be prepared to refer their patients to a specialist or Diabetes in Pregnancy services attached to a major hospital," Professor Cheung concluded.
To organise an interview with Professor Cheung please contact Mairead McLaughlin from Ethical Strategies on 0405 951 572 or [email protected].

Justice for Trayvon: A Search for Answers
Race and the great divide as witnessed in the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case

Headline Surfer poll: 50-50 split on 2nd-degree murder charge for George Zimmerman in gunshot slaying of Trayvon Martin
SANFORD -- Respondents to an InstaPoll on Headline Surfer are in a virtual deadlock as to whether the charge of second-degree murder for Trayvon Martin is appropriate. The poll was created 8:59 p.m. Wednesday, April 11, asking: Do you agree with the 2nd degree murder charge against George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin's death?
To the first choice: Yes, he committed a crime and must be held accountable, 401 or 50% chose that choice.
In the second choice, No, he was standing his ground and his actions were lawful, 399 or 50% chose that choice.
The Headline Surfer Install Poll was created 8:59 p.m., Wednesday, April 11. It will be closed once the 1,000th vote has been cast.
Zimmerman could face 25 to life if convicted of manslaughter in Sanford slaying of Trayvon Martin due to enhancers
NSBNEWS.net Investigative Reporting
Previous coverage click below:
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- I'm no lawyer, but I have extensively covered Florida's criminal and civil courts in Daytona Beach and DeLand as a member of the working press since the mid-1990s, including the appeals and ultimate death sentence execution of serial killer Aileen Wuornos and the civil trial won by Dale Earnhardt's widow in keeping his autopsy photos sealed from the public. With national media outlets predicting a manslaughter charge by the special prosecutor against George Zimmerman in the Sanford gunshot slaying of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, some experts have said he could get as little as five years if convicted. I disagree.
Florida statutes are clear on manslaughter. Because Trayvon was a minor, that's an enhancer that makes the charge "aggravated manslaughter." And because a firearm was used in the killing, Florida's 10-20-life statute must be applied.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Certainly the slaying of Trayvon Martin has captured the attention of the world. It is a story that originated in Sanford in nearby Seminole County. Though NSBNews.net is a small operation, we believe this is a story that tugs at local heart strings.
And though not directly connected to this incident, there are stories here in Volusia County that are eerily similar to issues of race, interpretation of the law and how we as a community deal with news that impacts our lives for better or worse. Our investigative series is called: "Justice for Trayvon: A Search for Answers."
As a veteran award-winning journalist, this reporter will bring you his insights and reporting to shed light on one of the most impactful tragedies of our time. We'll take you to the story in our unique multimedia approach of words, sound and sight with a series of stories, blogs, photos and videos.
Police handling of killing of Trayvon Martin in Sanford is Florida's shame
EDGEWATER -- I am confused about why the police did not arrest Trayvon Martin's (alleged) killer.
Zimmerman's $1M bail means the defense doesn't have to force the state's hand with 'speedy trial' provisions
SANFORD, Fla. -- Had the judge in the George Zimmerman murder trial refused bail -- which he ultimately set at $1 million -- his defense team could have resorted to a legal maneuver that would have ramped up the high-profile case even more for both sides: a demand for a speedy trial.
Sense of relief with arrest of George Zimmerman -- now we can hear both sides of the story
EDGEWATER -- A sense of relief came over me with the arrest of George Zimmerman on the charge of second-degree murder in the Sanford shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. As much as the whole state of Florida is a tinderbox of dryness prone to fire, I was more and more feeling that this situation was also a tinderbox that was on the verge of exploding into violence.
Trayvon's mom: 'Thank you Lord, thank you Jesus'
George Zimmerman was booked on a charge of second-degree murder Wednesday in the Feb. 26 gunshot slaying of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in the accused killer's gated community in Sanford.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Sybrina Fulton has been an emotional roller for 45 days since her 17-year-old son was gunned down in a Sanford gated community and after hearing the special prosecutor charging George Zimmerman with second degree murder, she was finally able to find some solace.
Florida and the nation await word on special prosecutor's decision on George Zimmerman
NSBNEWS.net Investigative Reporting
Previous coverage click below:
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Florida and the nation are waiting on the 6 p.m. press conference by special prosecutor Angela Corey on whether she will file criminal charges against George Zimmerman in the Feb. 26 gunshot slaying of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. NSBNews.net will have local reaction from citizens, legal experts and the attorney for Trayvon's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin.
NSBNews.net is likely the smallest media outlet to interview the grieving parents in person (the video/story package can be found here on our home page). NSBNews.net is rounding out its multi-media coverage of the weekend college student march from Daytona Beach to Sanford as well as sidebar stories on a Sanford police car sprayed with gunfire earlier this week across the street from the gated community where Trayvon lost his life and mini profiles on Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and retired Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning from an earlier rally in Miami.

Obviously, the green "arsenic"is a real poison. I hate it ! I decided to stick to the yellow for the wheels and I changed the main colour to a bright pink.
My final decision goes to a mix between traditional overdecorated English vardo, and a more contemporary French style, overdecorated, with bright and vibrant colours and delightfully kitch interior. Overdecoration is the key to a good gypsy vardo !
A comment by Sanschichis made me see that she had already built and painted a wonderful vardo inspired by this type of waggon-fitting.

Last local meeting on Gold Camp plan
But Forest Service still wants Ĺsubstantiveĺ public comments through March 15 deadline
The public part of the public process is all but over.
The U.S. Forest Service held its last local ôopen houseö Feb. 15 on reopening a closed segment of Gold Camp Road, with the finale scheduled in Cripple Creek Feb. 17. Although comments will continue to be accepted until March 15, there will be no more gatherings where citizens can come in, look at displays, get information from Forest Service employees or consultants and leave comments.
A decision will be an-nounced, as early as June, by Bob Leaverton, a Forest Service executive in Pueblo who supervises the Pike National Forest (where Gold Camp Road is), in addition to several other national forests and grasslands in the region.
However, the end to public meetings in no way means a final decision has already been reached, according to Forest Service Outdoor Recreation Planner Frank Landis. ôWe want substantive comments,ö he said after the Feb. 15 open house at Cheyenne Mountain High School. He noted that some interesting ideas have come in since the Forest Service announced its preferred alternative Jan. 10 and that these could yet impact the final decision.
Landis has served as the Forest Service point man throughout the roughly one-year public process on Gold Camp Road. The agency's announced preference, Alternative E, would repair Tunnel #3 and reopen (one way) an 8.5-mile segment that has kept the road from being a public thruway since the tunnel's partial collapse in 1988.
After March 15, Forest Service officials will undergo a ôpeer reviewö of all the comments, Landis said. ôWe're obligated to address them in the final document.ö
No federal funding for the project (at the very least, the tunnel is to be repaired) has been allocated as yet.
Asked about City of Colorado Springs input on the issue - the Parks Advisory Board recently recommended the more restrictive Alternative F and City Council is to take that up next week - Landis said the city stance ôwouldn't weigh moreö than that of any other group or individual. ôIt will be looked at equally with the others.ö
Alternative F would set timing restrictions on when the road would be open to cars, meaning that on certain days (to be determined) it would continue to be accessible only to hikers and bikers.
Landis said the Forest Service did not propose that solution because it failed to meet the goal of ôuniversal access to everyone.ö
The alternatives appear in the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), a 265-page document that provides background information and the rationale for the Forest Service preference.
One of the topics on which Forest Service has recently been hearing comments regards the first mile of what would be the newly reopened segment.
For those opposed to reopening the road, the main sticking point has been that cars would ruin what they claim has become a ôrecreational mecca.ö However, in the 8.5-mile segment that's now closed to cars south of the Gold Camp Road/High Drive parking lot, about 95 percent of the people hike or bike the road no farther than the 1 mile between the lot and Tunnel 3, Landis said, with the chief destinations being the popular St. Mary's and Seven Bridges trails.
Landis said one idea that has come forward is a side trail along that first mile, to separate motorized from non-motorized users. Another suggestion has been for parking at the trailheads, but the problem there is that the trailheads are not on Forest Service land, he said.
The City Parks Board recommendation included the suggestion that two-way traffic be considered (on days the road is open). Otherwise, based on the one-way scenario, cars driving beyond the High Drive parking lot would have to continue the full 8.5 miles south to Gold Camp Road's intersection with Old Stage Road, at which point they could continue on to Cripple Creek (another 26 miles) or drive the 8 or so miles back down Old Stage to return to the Springs.
About 50 people attended the Forest Service's Feb. 15 open house. This was about half the number that regularly came to the open houses in 2004. ôThis is an indication of the saturation process,ö Landis said, opining that most people have had enough talk on the issue.
For information on how to submit a comment on Gold Camp Road, call Landis at 477-4203.

Teen Mega World Review
Up for review today is the
Teen Mega World
network, a collection of 27 really great members areas specializing in European teen (18-19 years old) hardcore content. I've reviewed many of the Teen Mega World sites (follow the links in the content section above to check out those reviews) and enjoyed pretty much all of them. Today I'm taking a look at the network as a whole and hope you'll come along for the ride...these guys have some very high quality pics and vids starring some incredibly hot Euro babes. Let's check things out.
Logging in will initially take you to the main network page where you'll find links to the latest updates as well as multiple browse features like a model index, a keyword and category search, a listing of the most popular scenes in the network, and more. The network updates daily although I know from checking out many of the Teen Mega World sites that some of the members areas are no longer updating (or haven't added anything in a year or so). Of course, from the main network page you can also surf on over to any of the Teen Mega World sites by clicking on the Sites tab in the main menu.
As with most networks, the navigation and design of each individual Teen Mega World members area is pretty much identical. The latest updates to that specific site are linked up at the top of the main page with recent network updates and the same browse features I enumerated above taking up the rest of the page. One thing I've noticed here is that many of the browse and search options seem to always apply to all of the scenes throughout the entire network...as a result, it's sometimes tough to find exactly what you're looking for on one specific site. Other than that though, the sites look nice and navigation is pretty much a breeze.
In most (if not all) of the sites here at Teen Mega World, the scenes come with a hi-res photoset and a video. Sometimes, on more video-focused sites, the hi-res photoset is replaced by a vidcap gallery. The photosets are typically viewable as a gallery and you can also download the entire set as a zip file. The photo sizes can vary but are typically quite large. Sites like Nubile Girls HD, which specifically focus on very high-end content, have shots that come in at a huge 2200 x 3500 while the other members areas usually have pics that are 960 x 1440 or 853 x 1280. They have one or two user-submitted sites where the pic sizes become a bit more irregular but, somewhat surprisingly, they still remain pretty large. Other than the user-submitted stuff (and the vidcaps of course), the photo quality is typically excellent. These are professionally shot photos and look great...clear, well-lit, and vibrant.
Videos at Teen Mega World are usually high quality as well. Generally, there's a full-length Flash version for streaming as well as downloadable full-length versions in WMV and MP4 format. They also typically split the full scene up into multiple smaller clips in WMV format. The full-length vids usually offer members two or three different quality options and usually there's an HD quality version at the top of the heap. These come in at 1280 x 720 x 4000-6000K and look awesome. Clear and crisp and easily watchable at full-screen resolution with no loss of quality. Some of the sites (again, the couple of user-submitted, "amateur" sites are the main culprits in this respect) have lower quality vids but that's definitely not the norm for the network; in almost all cases, they put out some top-notch quality stuff.
As I mentioned at the outset, the Teen Mega World sites focus exclusively on hardcore coed content. As with most sites starring European babes, the girls here are extremely hot with adorable faces and super tight bodies...perky tits and delicious round asses abound here. Really some hot looking chicks and they all look to be 18 or 19 years old. There are some masturbation and girl-girl scenes throughout the network sites but I'd say the definite focus here is on boy-girl hardcore action. You'll see these sweet little hotties sucking cock (including face fucking, gagging, rough blowjobs, ball licking and sucking), getting their yummy twats fucked in just about every position possible and, of course, since these are European girls, there's plenty of anal to be had. These cuties take thick dick in their impossibly tight assholes until they're thoroughly stretched and gaping. Nothing better than watching a hot teen babe get ass fucked. The scenes almost always wrap up with the freshly fucked babes getting a big load of thick jizz shot all over their face, tits, and tongue.
The majority of the sites contain relatively straight-forward porn shoots but they do mix things up by including a few reality sites with various themes (teacher/student, young babe with much older guy, drunken coed babes sucking and fucking, etc.) as well as a girlfriends-style site, a spy cam site, and an amateur sex tape site, among others. One of my favorite sites here,
Squirting Virgin
, really presents some unique scenes by mixing the genres of anal sex, bondage, forced orgasm, and squirting all together in some very hot episodes. Really an excellent and varied archive of hardcore Euro teen content to check out here.
Bottom Line
I really enjoy the sites in the
Teen Mega World
network and I'd definitely highly recommend checking them out. They're doing pretty much everything right here with daily updates, a large archive of 27 sites (335,564 total pics and 2,280 total videos) and some very high quality content including some fantastic looking HD videos. The European coeds could scarcely be hotter and they're willing to do most anything, offering up all of their tight holes to be fucked hard and taking big facials that plaster their cute little faces in addition to masturbation and lesbian scenes as well. If you're into sweet, innocent, tight-bodied babes getting fucked and facialed, check out

One of the things that young reporters struggle with is the realization that there is no one perfect way to approach a given news story. In fact, different publications my approach the same story in radically different ways. It's like that old copy-desk joke about the headlines that would run in different newspapers in response to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ/The End of the World/Etc., etc. Here's a sample:
USA Today: WE'RE DEAD
The Wall Street Journal: DOW JONES PLUMMETS AS WORLD ENDS
National Enquirer: OJ AND NICOLE, TOGETHER AGAIN
Discover Magazine: HOW WILL THE EXTINCTION OF ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IT AFFECT THE WAY WE VIEW THE COSMOS?
Ladies Home Journal: LOSE 10 POUNDS BY JUDGMENT DAY WITH OUR NEW "ARMAGEDDON" DIET!
The New York Times: MILLIONS SEE HUMAN IN SKY, CLAIM IT'S JESUS CHRIST; WHITE HOUSE BLAMES RELIGIOUS RIGHT
The New York Post: THE END
You get the idea. The list can go on and on.
I bring this up because of the amazing range of stories that are being written about the new memoir by former President George W. Bush. So far, it seems that Bush's renewed faith -- linked to his decision to stop drinking alcohol -- is literally at the heart of "Decision Points." In other word, all of the other decision points follow, and grow out of, this religious decision.
Like it or hate it, it appears that this is a faith-based book. That is certainly the impression one gets in this wrap-up of several sources that ran at the "On Faith" site at The Washington Post. Of course, you would expect that angle in the faith weblog, right?
However, if one reads the feature in the same newspaper's Style section, one gets a completely different impression. Here we see the dominant religion that is practiced here in Beltway land, the faith the real world. What does this lengthy feature say about the role of Christianity in the president's daily life? What are the factors that shape the book?
Prepare to be stunned: It's all about political gossip. Here's the one passage that touches on faith.
Two years after leaving office, Bush seems to have settled into a routine of exercise, speeches and local events that matches what he always said he aspired to post-presidency. He gave a motivational speech last fall at a conference, talking about his reliance on God. He spoke at the reopening of a renovated rodeo park in Oklahoma. He spoke to high school seniors in New Mexico, staying away from politics.
Did you blink and miss it? So what are the elements of the book -- the personal elements -- that jump out to the Style gods? Here is a passage up high that captures the flavor. The context is this crucial question: Will the book improve W's political image?
His approval rating is still low; 55 percent of Americans disapproved of him as of October, according to an Associated Press poll, and more people continue to blame him for the current economic crisis than blame President Obama.
That may not matter for Bush's book sales, however, and his strategy of silence ensured the details that have already begun to leak are all the more tantalizing. Among the revelations: He contemplated removing Cheney from the ticket in 2004 and replacing him with Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) but decided not to. He elaborates on his most embarrassing moments before he quit drinking, recounting the time he drunkenly asked a woman at a dinner party what sex after age 50 is like.
Well, now. Please read the whole feature. I think that it's stunningly faith free, even in comparison with other MSM coverage.
So after looking over the story, take a stab at this question: What is the Washington Post Style headline for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ/End of the World/Etc., Etc.? Anyone want to imagine what that would be?

|Ouch. Super Ouch.
Some of my friends and I started playing basketball exactly one week ago. They wanted to do a Gus Macker tournament, and I was more than happy to help them get in shape by showing up on Thursdays to play 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 or whatever on whatever. It is not like running around a little bit is going to hurt me any. But we are a mix of middle aged guys, myself - who is sort of a tweener - and teenagers. Not playing a lot, and then starting to on a cement floor, it was bound to be a problem. It was bound to get somebody hurt. And it took exactly one week.
That is right, someone go hurt tonight. We had to pack it up and call it early because a body kept moving when an ankle decided to stop. It is not catastrophic, at least it doesn't seem so. He could sort of walk on it, and he was able to get it. So it is not broken and he didn't snap something that ends in the initials -CL, so that is good. But it only took two times. Two times and we had our first injury. And of course it was not to one of the kids. Oh well. I guess that we will see what happens next week. I suppose we should have the paramedics there, shouldn't we?
Editor's Note: Just in case you were wondering, the picture at top is the X-ray of NFL running back Najeh Devenport's broken ankle. Sucks to be him.

Hi all!
Wow, what a busy month! I think I've created and blogged more this month than ever! And, with our family grape harvest and caring for one of my sweet granddaughters, my time has been full. But, there's always time for beading! And, Erin's inspiration was amazing, as usual. I love how she pulls inspiration from the natural world and is so informative in her posts! I'm all about info - before the internet, I used to read the dictionary and encyclopedias! Now, I just search the internet!
Here was our inspiration for this month - one of earth's amazing places!
|Fairy chimneys formed from volcanic rock, rise to the sky and have been carved out for churches, homes and hotels over the centuries.
Here's the wonderful selection of beads from Michaels that Erin picked to coordinate with the photo. There's lots of great texture here with carved soapstone, shell, brown lava, twine-wrapped beads, copper rings and spacers and sparkly glass, but it all stays within a range of tans, browns and coppers.
The beads evoke the natural world and an ancient, tribal feel. I used the twine-wrapped bead to make a tassel and wrapped it around a horn bead I had for the focal of the necklace. Beaded copper chain completes the tassel. I strung the soapstone and lava beads on twine. Since the carved soapstone beads and copper have a pinkish tone, I picked that up with some speckled reddish seed beads in between the beads. To end the necklace, I knotted between the seed beads and made a loop and bead toggle.
Here is my necklace. I decided to name it Earth Wanderer for all the places I'd love to see on this beautiful planet!
|Earth Wanderer Necklace
I hope you will go here to see the amazing creations of Erin and her partner for this challenge, as well as all the other participants. As usual, I admire everyone's creativity. I always learn so much and find so many ideas that I want to try! Next month, I'm allocating more time!
Happy creating!

VoIP: A Birthing Story
Humble Beginnings
In the 1970s, most people hadn't heard of computers. By the 1980s, everyone had heard of them, massive giant calculating machines of complicated systems that took up an entire room. In the 1990s, computers were beginning to be a considered a common household luxury. As the new century dawned, people began carrying portable computers that would have astonished the 80s, whimsically labeled called laptops, and computers had become a household necessity. As we approach 2010, it is not uncommon for most households to have between 2 and 5 computers, and most students and business employees to either own or lease a personal laptop.
In the 1870s, Alexander Graham Bell transmitted the first sentence over distance via a device he called the telephone, "Mr. Watson, come here! I want to see you!" Telephone switchboards and rotary dials were developed, and telephones become less cumbersome and complex. By the 1920s, long distance telephone lines had been developed, although they were almost always shared 'party lines', serving multiple users. These functioned as if all persons were linked like we experience today in our own home landline, a person in the basement cannot dial out while someone in the kitchen is on the phone, although you can overhear everything they are saying. In the 1970s, the first call was made on a portable 'cellular phone,' and by the 1980s, commercial cellular service was available in limited areas of the US. As the century turned, the year 2000 saw universal cellular service, as well as drastically reduced prices and dramatically increased coverage and capability. With 2010 approaching, it is generally a given that every adult individual will have their own cellular line, and it is not an uncommon accoutrement even for middle school children.
A Charming Marriage of Technology
In 1995, the telephone met the computer under the tender matchmaking oversight of VocalTec Communications Inc., an Israeli telecom equipment provider. They launched the first ever program allowing users to speak to each other over a distance via computers connected to the internet, and VoIP technology was born. This writer doesn't know what the first sentence said was, and probably couldn't translate it, but the technology was rapidly assimilated into the American capitalist market via companies like Verizon, Vonage, Apple, Cisco, and more. By 2005 most people had heard of VoIP and a growing number of consumers were experimenting with its use. As the natural offspring born of telephones and computers, VoIP allows you to communicate with a telephone handset, via a computer internet interface, to anywhere in the nation and/or world, depending on your provider. As 2010 comes around the corner, VoIP usage is seeing exponential growth as individuals and businesses begin to utilize it as their primary means of communication.

To any video production companies seeking the Next Big Thing, take note: Charles Ramsey is rapidly becoming the most famous man on the Internet. After first aiding the escape of the hostages in Cleveland, he has now become a YouTube star.
First there was his News interview – full to the brim of unbelievably hilarious quotes which are surely being printed on masses of T-Shirts as we speak. Then (perhaps a little too soon maybe?) the Gregory Brothers plugged in their autotune machine and made a track from the News piece that could quite possibly knock Daft Punk off the top spot if released. Lets hope that the profits from the 'Dead Giveaway' single are donated to the victims. It's number one this week –
1. Dead Giveaway – Hero Charles Ramsey Songified
At number two we have the last edition of the Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy – The World's End. Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and all the usual actors associated with the trio its shaping up to be a fitting finale. Loving the fence gag.
2. The World's End Trailer
A hero to some but mostly a villain around these parts we should probably pay respects to Fergie for his incredible innings as the United manager. The following clip is about as far as two Liverpool fans and Welshman who couldn't care less are willing to go –
3. 7 Gaffes that left Fergie Fuming
Something cute now and a video shot in glorious slow motion reminding us to savour every moment with our pets. Cats and dogs playing in the snow shot on a high speed camera, it doesn't get much better.
4. Savour Every Moment
Finally we see Audi pit Spock against Spock in a race to the Golf Course. Its more interesting than it sounds…if you like Star Trek. If you don't why not head over to Twitter and tell us how lame we are and what we should have posted – @spectrecom

A high-profile sexual assault case that has been a touchstone in the debate over how to handle military sexual assault "came apart on Monday," according to a lengthy report from the New York Times. The case has received a huge amount of national media attention both because of the high rank of the accused, Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, and because the process of prosecuting him has been combed over by everyone with a stake in the debate over whether to strip commanders of their power to determine how sexual assault accusations are handled. It was recently revealed, in fact, that the lawyer for the accuser appealed to Lt. Gen. James Anderson, who is overseeing the case, to reject a plea deal from Sinclair on the grounds that it would weaken the Army's case to the public about why it should retain control over sexual assault prosecutions. He did, in fact, end up rejecting the plea deal.
In the end, however, the case against Sinclair appears to be falling apart for reasons that have little to do with all the complex political machinations around it. Since the beginning, Sinclair's lawyers have been using the "woman scorned" defense, arguing that the accuser, a captain who worked under Sinclair, made up the allegations that Sinclair forced her to perform oral sex because she was angry at him for not leaving his wife for her. Also, they argue, she floated the allegations after she was threatened with a charge of adultery, which is illegal in the military, suggesting that she saw a rape accusation as an easy way out. The accuser and Sinclair had been conducting a three-year affair, which the defense emphasizes was consensual, with diary entries from the accuser testifying to her great love for Sinclair and her fear he was still emotionally involved with his wife as evidence. The prosecution contends that the two incidents of forced oral sex, which are alleged to have happened in Afghanistan, were part of an abusive and controlling pattern of behavior from Sinclair toward the accuser.
The defense's case was strengthened on Monday when the alleged victim was seemingly caught in a lie. An old iPhone belonging to her recently turned up, and, unsurprisingly, it has texts and other communications on it that the defense can use to bolster its case that the relationship was consensual. The accuser told a detailed story about finding this phone and turning it right over to the lawyers, but a forensics expert testified that she had charged and restarted the phone two weeks before claiming to have found it.
It's hard to imagine this case playing out any differently if Sinclair and his accuser were civilians. There would still be ample evidence that the accuser loved the accused when they were together, which the defense could use to cast doubt on her claims of sexual abuse. There would still be a lack of witnesses, as the alleged abuse went down in private. The defense would still benefit strongly from negative stereotypes of women as petty, vindictive, and willing to cry "rape" at the drop of a hat to punish a man for rejecting her. While there are likely a lot of benefits to removing the military's strong presence and its political concerns from the process of prosecuting alleged rapists, these larger cultural issues mean that prosecuting rape will still be an uphill battle, regardless of venue. (The judge overseeing the case has given Sinclair another opportunity to work with prosecutors on a plea deal, citing the role that undue political influence likely played in the first attempt at a plea deal, so it wouldn't be right to say that politics has played no role in the final outcome of this trial.)
We can't know for a fact what happened between Sinclair and the accuser during their three-year affair. The fact that she appears in her phone messages and diary entries to be a woman besotted says nothing. It's fairly common for domestic violence victims to be in love with their abusers and to make excuses for abuse, even abuse as serious as sexual assault. But there is always the possibility that she is lying, and that possibility got stronger with the discovery of this iPhone. These are the problems that face cases like this, in both military and civilian courts.

Dining shutterbugs: When is food photography offensive?
Dining out, the ask-the-server-to-take-a-group-shot photo is being replaced by the I'm-reviewing-this-for-my-blog photo. I recently came across an old Chow.com story inquiring about the etiquette of photographing food when dining out:
Dear Helena, What is the etiquette around food photography? Are you supposed to only do it in low-end restaurants? How many stars should a restaurant have in order for it to be too trashy for you to take pics? Should you ask the waiter first? Also, it seems like some people overdo it. Maybe sometimes they should just be in the moment? --Cameras Off the Table
Read Helena's advice (she dug up some funny stories from Chicago's famed Alinea!) and see what you think. Anything else you'd add based on your experience as either an annoyed diner or aspiring food photographer?
Dear Cameras Off the Table, It can be tiresome when you're dining out with a friend who insists on photographing every course before you can dig in. Maybe looking like a tourist makes you cringe. Or maybe deep down, you feel it's narcissistic for your friend to post a picture of every meal he eats on his blog.
But whipping out a camera at a restaurant is common dining behavior nowadays. You might not like it any more than you like it when your friend interrupts a conversation to look up something on his iPhone. But complaining about it just makes you seem out of touch.
Joe Catterson, general manager of Chicago's Alinea, says many diners are compulsive shutterbugs. This is unsurprising, given the elaborate presentation of dishes there, but people take it to ridiculous extremes. One couple showed up for a reservation, then realized they had forgotten their camera. "They got in a cab, went back to their hotel to get it, and then came back for dinner 45 minutes late." Another group forgot to photograph one of the courses on the tasting menu. They waited until the dish was delivered to their neighbors and asked to lean over and photograph theirs instead.
For the most part, restaurants are OK with patrons snapping their dinners, since these days if someone is taking a picture the odds are he plans to share it, whether on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, or all three, which can be free publicity for the business. Catterson explains, "Some of it has been fantastic advertising--the quality of some of the pictures is amazing." This attitude seems to be shared by high- and low-end places alike. Simon Dang, who posts pictures of meals on Plate of the Day, a blog he shares with friends, says restaurants generally don't mind his camera, whether the place in question is Per Se or a taco truck. (Of course, not everyone is a talented photographer. One person can make a plate of lamb shanks look like a miniature work of art, while the next can make it look like prison food.)
But though photography may not bother staff members, it can annoy other patrons. If a photographer keeps using his flash, or stands up to get a better shot, it's distracting. This can be annoying in any restaurant, but it's much more noticeable in a high-end place with dim lighting and a hushed atmosphere than in a crowded burger joint.
If you do take photos, you need not ask the server's permission, but it's polite to follow these simple guidelines: First, don't take multiple shots from multiple angles, kneel on the banquette, or rearrange the table. Jeffrey Porter, cowriter of the blog Drink Eat Love, says he limits himself to "four or five shots." Besides creating an unnecessary disturbance, your dinner might get cold. At Alinea, one dish, called Hot Potato Cold Potato, has contrasting temperatures. By the time a diner has snapped the dish from every angle, it might as well be called "lukewarm potato."
Forgo the flash, as Chowhounds advise. At Alinea, when diners have complained about other parties' obsessive photography, it's the flash that has bothered them. (Also, says Dang, it washes out the food.)
Finally, know when to put the camera away. On some occasions, your focus shouldn't be on your plate--like on a special date, for instance. It's not very romantic if one of you is obviously using the excursion as a way to get new fodder for a blog.

The Hardeeville Catfish Festival will officially kick off at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, with the Miss Catfish Pageants at Abundant Life Academy gymnasium. There will be 41 contestants vying for the Miss Catfish and Mrs. Catfish titles. Admission for the entire day is $5.
In celebration of the Hardeeville Centennial, many former Queens will be joining the festivities, according to Ava Comer, a member of the Hardeeville Catfish Festival Committee.
The first Miss Hardeeville, Britt Rodgeburg, was crowned in 1959 and the first Miss Catfish, Lynn Player Koon, was crowned in 1979. The name of the pageant changed with the start of the Catfish Festival.
The 2010 winner, Miss Amber Powell, will hand her title over to one of five lucky ladies vying for Miss Catfish.
Pageant director Latrell Spikes and her committee, Brittany Sanchez and Mandy Sanchez, have spent months researching, planning and organizing to insure a memorable experience, Comer said.
"Join us in the Abundant Life gymnasium when contestants ranging from 13 months to 13 years will take the stage in five age divisions starting at 10 a.m.," she said.
The Miss and the Mrs. Catfish divisions will be presented Saturday. The Miss contestants will participate in three categories. This will include interview, casual wear and evening gown segments. The Mrs. division was added this year by request and will include an interview and evening gown competition.
In addition to the regular categories, many participants have chosen to enter optional categories for prettiest smile, hair, eyes and dress. There will be a photogenic category and photographer, Megan Masters, has donated 8x10 photos for the winners. She will also be present to take photos of the contestants during the pageants.
Several local residents have donated skillfully crafted gifts and talents to be added to gift bags for the contestants. Nikki Cannon and Bricen Calustro have made jewelry. Joy Powell crafted hair bows and donated gift certificates for gift bags. Danielle Calustro and Nikki Cannon have offered hair certificates. Tiffany Dodd gave a tutu for a lucky little girl and Crystal Saxon crafted two gift baskets full of Mary Kay products. Cripple Crab restaurant has also donated items for the contest, according to Comer.
Festival T-shirts will be on sale for $10.

Manchester United may have finished last season empty-handed, but
Rio Ferdinand and
Ashley Young managed to display double-winning form at a school sports day.
The Red Devils duo attended the event to cheer their children on, but could not resist getting involved.
Much to the disappointment of other glory-hungry competitive dads in the crowd, Ferdinand and Young lined-up in a parents' race each.
The centre-back demonstrated his pace hasn't completely gone by taking a victory, while the winger put his Euro 2012 penalty disappointment to one side as he secured first place in his event.
A delighted Ferdinand told his 2.9million Twitter followers: 'Lil mens sports day just finished, funny day!
'Lil men done well! I won my parents race + ash young won his race too so a good day all round!'
Ferdinand's performance ensured he continued his run of school sports day glory, as he also won a parents' race last year – as you might expect a professional athlete to do.
After his previous success, he joked: 'I was more nervous before that race than a PL game….the pressure!'

We strongly advocate driving across the U.S. sometime. So much is missed travelling only by plane. But imagine if there were no paved roads.
The modern American road system is less than one hundred years old.
Romans paved roads to support military conquests and run their empire. Americans walked on brick-paved streets in Colonial times. But in 1900 America was huge, still overwhelmingly rural and paved roads were a rarity.
American Road: The story of an epic transcontinental journey at the dawn of the motor age by Pete Davis describes that era's roads. Published in 2002, it is not particularly gripping. But it is filled with interesting facts and tidbits, especially for those who have driven across the country.
On July 9, 1919, the First Continental Motor Train, an Army expedition that included cars, trucks, motorcycles, ambulances, mobile kitchens, machine shops and wreckers, set out from Washington, D.C. for San Francisco, California. There were nearly 300 men in 81 vehicles. Future President Dwight Eisenhower was among the officers. The trip took two months and averaged five miles an hour. There were times when some doubted they could do it.
The first production automobile was made in 1886. Between 1904 and 1908, there were 241 U.S, producers selling cars, mostly made in small shops. Henry Ford created the Model T in 1908, and that same year Durant founded General Motors. By 1913, 485,000 automobiles were produced. Americans owned six and a half million vehicles in 1919.
But only the most adventurous could cross a state in a car let alone cross the nation. Motor vehicles were common in towns, but the roads connecting those towns were mostly dirt.
When Alie and I drive "dirt roads," we usually mean gravel roads that have been graded at some point. As late as 1919, most roads outside major cities were just dirt, trampled down by passing generations of feet, horses and wagons. As late as 1907, there was not a single mile of paved road in rural America. In 1908, there were no road maps, no road signs, and in some places, especially west of the Mississippi River, no roads, just trails.
The Lincoln Highway Association was formed in 1913 to support the construction of a transcontinental road — or more accurately, a transcontinental route over a collection of roads. Automobile and tire companies wanting a place for customers to drive were among the major proponents. Cement producers also saw a market.
But in 1919, the Lincoln Highway was still a conglomeration of routes from city to city leading from New York to San Francisco.
On the first day, the 1919 expedition went about 50 miles to Frederick Maryland. On the second day, they discovered covered bridges were too low for the trucks. During the next two months, they often discovered bridges were not strong enough and had to be rebuilt.
Progressive Pennsylvania had paved a steep and dangerous road through the mountains. West of Pittsburgh, however, the roads were again unpaved, rutted and full of potholes.
Ohio also had a paved road, mostly brick, 13-foot wide. You can still see part of it near Canton.
In Indiana, local private entrepreneurs sponsored one-mile long "seedling" roads hoping to encourage governments to follow through. But most of the road was so dusty it clogged carburetors.
The road deteriorated as the expedition moved west. Iowa farmers didn't see the need to spend money on roads. When the drivers weren't blinded by dust, they bogged down in mud. Where Interstate 80 now runs through Nebraska, the road was little more than a wagon trail. Trucks bogged down in soft soil and sand. In Wyoming, they literally followed the path of settlers' wagon trains. Bridges collapsed, their wood weakened in the dry air.
On our first trip across the "loneliest road" through Utah and Nevada, we made sure we had enough gasoline because there were few towns. We were interested when we saw another car on the road. Trucks and cars driving across those same salt flats in 1919 frequently broke through the crust into the silt below. They couldn't even be pulled out; they had to be dug out by hand and moved over a makeshift base of planks and sagebrush.
By comparison, California did have relatively good roads. The first speeder was arrested in California in 1919. Having spotted him but unable to catch him, a policeman chased him down in an airplane, landed on the road, and arrested the motorist who stopped thinking the pilot had trouble. The driver was doing sixty miles an hour.
P.S. Despite have driven across the U.S. a number of times, I found remarkably few pictures of roads in my files — "familiarity breeds indifference."

Another thing I wanted to explore was the idea of truth and following orders and how those two things interact with one another. I was a senior in high school when 9-11 happened, and a freshman in college when we invaded Iraq, and both of these events really shaped the way I view politics and the politics of war. I've given a lot of thought to those events and to how America responded to them, both from the point of view of large, intractable government institutions and from the point of view of the individual. While I don't want to get overly political, I do think that America had blinders on in the run up to the Iraq invasion. I only mention this because I see parallels between the way information was processed or suppressed in that instance and the way that it is by some members of Red Spike.
In many ways Red Spike is like a cult. It's in an isolated location that's cut off from any contact with the outside world. It's incredibly secretive and the flow of information into and out of the base is highly regulated and highly stratified. Basically, the guys on top, a Moyer or a Coughlin, have a full view of the world and the peons, the cadets, they have a much smaller scope of view and they only really know what their superiors tell them. And, they really don't have any choice but to believe what they are told and then follow the orders they've been given. That's why when Greg finds what he finds, it's such a large rupture in his world view. He's suspicious by nature and then when he learns that he's being lied to, he loses all trust in his superiors. But there's nowhere to go. Everyone you know, everyone who you interact with or who is in a position to help you is either ignorant of the lie or complicit in it. Knowing the truth becomes a form of insanity….
I also feel that Moyer himself has a cultish view of Red Spike. It's his and only his and he views himself as the sort of messianic figure who has shepherded to completion this gigantic step forward in military technology. To him, those on the outside don't grasp the importance of what he does and the importance of Moyer, himself, in bringing Red Spike to fruition. It's a cult centered around warfare and technology, or at least, to Moyer, that's how he views it, and he's sort of its high priest. Even though Matt and Greg are the ones with the abilities, Moyer views them as subordinate to him, and in the chain of command they are. He also views them as interchangeable pieces in his war machine, which as the story goes on, we learn they really aren't.
I think this view extends to Fairfield as well. He's sort of a Daedalus figure, but darker and less heroic, like if Daedalus and Frankenstein got together. On the one hand, he's clearly a brilliant scientist, but on the other hand, this is a program that uses human guinea pigs and does things that, at the very least, border on being scientifically unethical. But it's all in devotion to the cause — to Red Spike. And much like a cult, members can easily rationalize actions that on the outside they might consider immoral.
This also has a trickle down effect on Matt and Greg, but especially on Matt who views Moyer almost like a father. Greg's hand was largely forced in his decision to join Red Spike, but Matt had other options and primarily ended up there as a result of his relationship with Moyer. So there's elements of seduction, not sexually, but with the promise of money for his mother and power for himself and doing good for the world. Things that someone who is searching for meaning will gravitate towards. And Moyer uses this to draw Matt into his web. And, after a while, Matt is normalized to his abnormal existence and he follows orders from the leaders without question, as does everyone there. It's a strange mix of group-think and Stockholm syndrome. You even get this sense at the end. But that's for later…

About Us
My name is LuAnn Grover and I purchased The Feathered Horse from the Robert DeBoer family in May 2011. The Feathered Horse was started by Lesa Nelson and Arlene DeBoer purchased it from her in late 1999.I have owned friesian horses since 2004 and enjoy every aspect of these beautiful creatures. I ride dressage, drive, trail ride, breed and help train my horses. They have been a source of healing and comfort for me in troubled times.
After working in the corporate world for many years, I am now living my dream with my horses and this business. My goal is to provide you with everything you want and need for your friesian horse.
