Month: February 2013
Ontario Women Stripped of Health Care Coverage
I'll make this short and to the point.
Today the Ontario Ministry of Health announced significant cuts to OHIP coverage for women, putting us at higher risk for diagnosis of life threatening disease at more advanced stages.
Our pathetic excuse of a government reduced coverage for annual PAP tests from once a year to once every 3 years. They quote new, recommended 'guidelines'.
Yah, right. Guidelines concerned with the bottom line, rather than with the well-being of an already poorly cared for population; women.
Perhaps our Ministry of Health might consider reducing the billions of dollars spent on chemotherapy drugs pimped to cancer patients who are at the very end of life, offering us, the citizens of Ontario, compassionate health care, rather than lining the pockets of Big Pharma?
Just a thought, but what am I thinking?! There's no money to be made by making ethical decisions.
I urge every person in the province of Ontario to write a letter or send an email to their MPP demanding accountability and better health care for everyone.
Contact your Member of Provincial Parliament and let them know that cuts to already inadequate women's health care are unacceptable.
I've made it easy for you, you can just copy and paste this letter if you don't have the time to compose your own.
The women in your life will thank you for it. Your mom, will likely thank you with a couple dozen of your favourite cookies still warm from her oven. Your sweet, sexy gal-pal will certainly give you a long, sensuous smooch.
Dear: ___________-
I am writing as a resident of _____________ to regarding the recent change in OHIP funding for women's annual PAP tests. Depriving women of adequate health care by withdrawing annual payment for these tests is unacceptable. Cuts to our health care system such as this put low-income, high-risk women and their families at significant risk of more advanced disease when diagnosed. This of course ultimately results in higher health care costs.
As a citizen, I demand my government be accountable for the decisions that are made with regard to our health care system. It has been eroding over the years, with decreased coverage for everything from eye exams to cancer screening tests such as CA125 and PSA tests.
Myself, and my family expect a response from you as our Member of Provincial Parliament with regard to the steps you are going to take to demand quality health care for EVERYONE in the province of Ontario.
Canadian Journalism is Dead
Journalism is dead.
The objective ideal has long since gone the way of cigarette holders and the sassy style of gin-joint flappers.
Today, the cover of our local news featured an advert at both the top and bottom of the front page, with the majority of coverage going to Anne Hathaway's smarmy giant-toothed grin.
Guess what I'm using to line the bottom of our bird-cage? Heads up Anne….
A minor few inches of the front page were dedicated to yet another report of a crooked Canadian politician, and an "exclusive' about the risks of casual and contract work on the vulnerable.
I hate to break it to you Toronto Star, but – no kiddin'.
Canadian politicians are as crooked, greedy and unprofessional as any in nations which we assume political superiority. Not only is journalism dead, but so is real, political leadership and vision.
Very few, if any journalists working for major publications will risk their jobs or lives (no exaggeration) to report on who's buying who. Besides, what good would it do? No one would publish their work anyway.
During the past few months, Toronto news has been overwhelmed with the mayor's miraculous escape from being kicked from office, despite clear conflict of interest, and misuse of city resources (including pulling our miniscule transit resources to coddle his football hobby).
Senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin have lied about their residences. Bowing to the almighty dollar rather than the great good of the nation. Way to go.
As soon as Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne took office, the opposition started acting up like middle school children during a forced indoor recess.
We have become a nation of apathetic Stepford Citizens at every political level. Democracy in Canada is a joke.
The "Canadian Dream" of living in a progressive, socially responsible society has turned into a nightmare of big business buying out our media, government, and stretching the gap between the working class and the wealthy thinner than an immigrant's pay cheque.
Keep in mind, this criticism comes from a hopeless patriot, and idealist. I believe our country has great potential, and it's heartbreaking to see it stripped away.
Are you prepared to be duped into thinking the issues of today are Anne Hathaway's nipples and Danica Patrick's crappy driving?
Well, maybe that's for the best. After all, ignorance is rumoured to be bliss.
Minute Monday Pick-Me-Up
Wishing you a most wonderful Monday. Breathe deeply and do something wildly creative!
Just a little song to help your smile grow!
Savoury Sundays: Cioppino
Every Sunday ANDSHELAUGHS will post a savoury recipe for you to prepare for the ones you love.
***Please leave a comment and reblog if you make the recipe. Let us know how you liked it!***
This very first Savoury Sunday, I offer up one of my very favourite recipes: Cioppino.
It takes me back to a visit to San Francisco, and indulging in a classic Italian dinner at Alioto's overlooking the bay.
Perhaps not a traditional family meal, Cioppino makes an easy, light meal ideal for a quiet night in with your sweetheart.
I recommend serving this Cioppino with fresh bakery bread,butter and a bottle of Luccarelli Primitivo to enjoy as well.
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes ( I use my own home preserved tomatoes)
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley (don't skip this, parsley is a key ingredient)
1/4 teaspoon dried basil ( I prefer t use fresh – just a few finely chopped leaves)
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 bay leaf
10 oz boneless whitefish cut into 1.5″ chunks
12 littleneck clams, scrubbed
12 medium mussels, scrubbed and debearded
8-12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
*Add crab if it's available* Yum!!!
1. In a large nonstick saucepan, heat the oil, and saute the onion, pepper and garlic until softened.
2. Add tomatoes, wine and tomato paste, spices, herbs, bay leaf and 1/2 cup water.
3. Combine all ingredients well, and bring to a boil.
4. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
5. Add the fish and simmer uncovered for ~5 mins.
6. Add the clams & mussels and simmer ~3 mins.
7. Add the shrimp and simmer uncovered for ~5 mins until the clams and mussels are open and the shrimp are pink.
*** Discard any unopened clams and mussels as well as the bay leaf***
***When preparing this meal, beware of the timing. It's not something you can leave on the stove top and keep warm until your dinner guest arrives. Prepare your ingredients, and enjoy a relaxed conversation over a glass of wine while you're cooking.***
When Life Gives You Lemons ~ Get Real
I'm a touchy-feely person. Tests have proven I'm a kinesthetic learner. I think hugs make most things bearable, and smiling at a stranger is the norm.
I believe the universe provides. Admittedly it provides what we need, not necessarily what we want my darlings.
I believe the glass is half full, and usually full of something yummy.
I believe that most fella's tip the scale on the side of 'good' rather than being rotten eggs.
I also believe that there is a time to 'fish or cut bait' or, as the less socially groomed say, 'shit or get off the pot'.
My Facebook page is awash with positive, upbeat photos, memes, quotes and motivational posters such as these;
The reality is, that sometimes giving up, losing hope and questioning your faith are the best things you can do. It's called a reality check.
Sometimes plodding along wondering why things aren't going your way is because we mistakenly think that determination, hope and faith will get us everywhere, when what we really need is a kick in the pants to dig in and face change.
Let's go back to the above three examples. The beginning is not always hard. What twitstick came up with that one?
The wise words of my lovely older, wiser friend Ms. T, "If this is what it's like at the beginning, what will it be like at the end?", were a wake up call for me when I started dating a large, useless flap of skin.
Beginnings should be fresh, new and exciting. In love as in life, if the beginning is bad, it's just bad. Get out. Get therapy. Get some bourbon on the rocks.
Sometimes being cheery and loving life gives you no advantage over miserable, energy sucking, peewads. Sometimes life does not love you back. Some days life spits in your eye, punches you in the guts and leaves you writhing and naked in the ditch of failure.
As much as we need encouragement, we need validation that things get tough, life kicks us in the beans sometimes, and it's ok to admit it.
So, for those days, I offer up the following kitschy little sayings;
If you had a great day, that's terrific my wonderful little cherry pie. If not, it's ok to say it sucked.
Wishing you more wonderful days than sucky ones.

The CUBE 3D is a cross line self leveling laser with a horizontal and 2 line vertical beam.
The CUBE 3D laser level is a compact, practical option for basic cross line leveling work. Measuring at 2 5/8", the laser can fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. It has a hard plastic housing to protect the laser beams and pendulum leveling system within. The housing has a ribbed rubber casing that protects it from scratches while giving extra friction to make it slip resistant. There are 3 separate laser beams, one horizontal and two vertical (90° offset from each other), with a maximum deviation (vertically) of just 3 degrees. This allows for intersecting layouts that require right angles and vertical alignment on separate walls. It's ideal for hanging shelves, pictures, or any wall ornament. It's a great option to use while hanging wallpapers, placing electrical wiring conduits, as a guide for suspended ceilings, and the like. The CUBE 3D has a quick pendulum self leveling system. Additionally, there is locking system that is automatically engaged when the laser is switched off to protect the system's integrity during transportation. When turned on, the level will beep if it is out of leveling range. The CUBE 3D laser level has one mounting nut with a ¼" thread at the bottom of the unit. This allows you to mount it either to a bracket or a tripod for security. The unit can be placed on a regular surface, but securing it usually guarantees less movement for more accurate work.
Package Options:
Please note: This unit does not have a pulse mode and cannot be used with a laser detector.

"What should I do with the clothes that I have worn, but they are not "dirty" enough to throw in the wash and they are not "clean" either. I will wear them again before I wash them, but I do not want to mix them in my closet next to freshly laundered items."
Do a little thinking about the project to help you find the right solution:
- Identify how many pieces of clothes in limbo you will have to accommodate. The solution here could be very different depending on if you have 3 items or 30 items that fit into this limbo category.
- Are the clothes folded or hanging?
- Where have you been putting these clothes? Are they currently piled high on a chair in your bedroom, top of a dresser, or closet floor?
- What is not working about your current process? Do you not like the visual scene with clothes on a chair in your room, are the clothes getting wrinkled?
- Identify other logical spaces where they could be stored. Start by looking where you get dressed and undressed. Remember that keeping organized is easiest when you create systems near where the activities take place.
Everyone will have unique circumstances. After you have thought about what you have to work with and the space that makes the most sense, decide if you will need any organizing helpers to get the job done. This might include:
- Wall hooks to put up inside or outside the closet to keep items separate.
- Different colored hangers so you know which ones are on the second wear and headed to the wash.

Taking advantage of high genetics in seeds using trellis meshes by HORTOMALLAS.
Take advantage of the genetic quality of your seeds using HORTOMALLAS, as this trellising net will have a positive and beneficial impact on your crop yields, from the pathogen prevention and plant development point of views this netting allows better yields in fruit production especially when growing seeds used for improving genetically the species of vegetables.
HORTOMALLAS will provide better future possibilities to plants´ performance and competitive development. Seeds are sexual reproduction units of plants and have the function to reproduce and multiply the species they belong to, being one of the most efficient ways to spread in time and space, they constitute a perennial mechanism for the plants to endure and adapt to ever changing surrounding generation after generation since they are the mobile unity of plants. Seeds are the means by which , even in a passive way, plants find new spots and microenviroments to grow on. For all sorts of crops it is essential to consider seed quality for their success, as seeds are the starting point for production and it is essentia that they respond properly during sowing conditions to produce vigorous plants which will to reach maximum fruit production performance.
From a sustainable point of view it is impossible to produce a good harvesting results without a quality seed nowadays, mostly product of seed hybridization and genetic engineering, since generally a hairloom seed crop may result of lower yields than one which results from hearty hydbrids designed for specific soil and weather conditions. Without a doubt a good quality seed represents strategic advantage that allows agricultural activities to take place successfully, contributing to improve production yields as far as quality and profitability. This is the reason why there is great interest in technical and scientific works focused on stimulating and prolonging germination and later conservation of seeds and their genetics, that may increase profitability of crops in a environmentally sustainable way.
Since the end of WW2 farmers have intensified their agricultural production and in order to cover demand they had to resort to improved quality and quantity of seeds used, even resorting to industrial seed manufacturers agriculturalist are looking to achieve quality potential on the international production market. We must know and understand that succesful development of seeds depends on multiple factors for each their, plant formation, structure, unity, function so that we may understand their posibilities for productive and competitive life toward the environment and to the future. There are different growing methods available depending on the type of vegetable to be planted and the seed adequate for each soil type, eliminating the danger of genetical contamination. In order to further improve yields it is important to reduce pathogenic factors, so it is advisable to use a trellising net for vegetable plant support like HORTOMALLAS on both sides of the planted rows, in either solanaceas or cucurbitaceas, as this support netting facilitates pruning and fruit picking; using the net for trellis support facilitates the manual removal of undergrowth weeds that debilitate the targeted crop while increasing the incidence of diseases. Verticalizing the crops with trellis net improves phytosanitary conditons of the agricultural practices.
Current seed selection differentiates basic seeds (purity, high germination percentage, plant vigor and pathogens resistance according to the established quality standards on current regulations) from patent or registered seeds (which come from basic seeds and have to keep their genetical identity as varietal purity and fulfill quality requirements during inspection and certification) or certified seed (which come from the basic or patented seed, depending on the multiplying capacity of the variety; a certified seed must keep genetical identity, varietal purity, fullfil quality requirements, since it is the one that is sold and distributed to the grower).
Each producer selects the seed of choice depending on specific needs in order to assure a good production and
competitive product and quality according to local market demands. After each growing season there must be an adequate complementary crop rotation, avoiding that the same species are not sowed in the same field too often. By using HORTOMALLAS in tomato, eggplant, cucumber, melon, chili pepper, water melon among others, the grower can assure his seeds for the next season or cycle while having guaranted quality, as mentioned before this kind of crops are cultivated traditionally using raffia or directly on the ground level; by applying the plastic trellis the plant will grow vertically, using the trellis as support and avoiding soil contact, which contact may be a vector of pathogen transmission like in teh case of fungal diseases, where the contact with the soil produces humidity to condensate on the leaves or fruits thereby inituiating the fungal decay process. On the contrary HORTOMALLAS netting allows solar exposition, aeration and reduces humidity and decreasing micosis attacks of roots, stem, leaves and fruit. With the frequent use of a trellises, one is able to reduce the dependance on agrochemicals, improve biological control on vegetables, encouraging the production to be mostly organic.
Decreasing this and other incidences during crops cycle, the grower will obtain results that guarantee seeds with better genetic quality, controlled, improved and developed by producers, cheaper, having better yielding future crops which are healthier for human consumption.

The New Rochelle High School Class of 1964
The Class of 1964 was a large class of 775 indihviduals (celebrations of the end of World War II). As the first class of Baby Boomers, our numbers vaulted the school system into double sessions, overlpping sessions and a building frenzy. From the day we entered kindergarten in 1951 we were the "duck and cover" kids and Polio Pioneers in grade school. Our numbers included every imaginable background and ethniciy; we were born with Silver Spoons, Steel Spoons, Wooden Spoons, and No Spoons. We were part of the destruction of segregation in our school systems and suffered pain as adult Americans on November 22, 1963. In June of 1964, diplomas in hand, we moved on.
The purpose of this Website is to enable us to reconnect, elebrate the fact that most of us have endured, and to share the thoughts and memories of those classmates whose journeys were shorter than ours. To those that are gone we dedicate this Website.

Upington at a glance
Upington is situated in the north-central part of the Northern Cape province.
Upington offers property and real estate investors a large selection of properties ranging from large houses to smaller homes, apartments, security villages, retirement complexes and guest houses.
Upington is a substantial, most pleasant town and a major road, rail and air centre that serves the farms and ranches of the vast Northern Cape interior. Upington, named after a Cape colonial prime minister, lies on the banks of the Orange River, whose reaches and midstream islands are lush with irrigated vineyards and plantations of date-palms, cotton, lucerne and various fruits. These fruits include saltanas and raisins and the area draws much of its prosperity from the dried-fruit industry.
The flattish, sandy Kalahari plains to either side of the river also sustain cattle and karakul sheep, whose wool is known as Persian lamb, and yield a large number and variety of semi-precious stones. Some of these are amethyst and beryl, agate, jasper, rose quartz, tourmaline and tiger's eye as well as rubies and the occasional gem-quality diamond.
The town is noted for, among other things, its unusually long (1,067-metre) railway bridge and 5.5-kilometre airport runway, said to be the southern hemisphere's longest, and is a convenient stopover for travelers on their way to either the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park or the splendid Augrabies falls.
Upington was founded in 1871 as a mission station. The first cleric, Christian Schroder, launched the region's first irrigation scheme. Cultivated lands now stretch beyond the town of Kakamas some 80 kilometres to the west.
Kanon Eiland, 25 or so kilometres downstream is one of the bigger and more developed of the densely wooded islands which, together, once served as a refuge for sections of the warlike Korana folk, river-pirates and rustlers whose raiding forays in the 1860s provoked three punitive military expeditions from distant Cape Town.
Seeff Upington can assist you with all types of residential property for sale or rental including houses, apartments, cluster developments, security villages, land and guesthouses.

An arraignment in Nevada is a court hearing where the prosecution formally brings criminal charges against a defendant. It marks the beginning of a criminal case, and the prosecution gives to the defendant (or defense attorney) a copy of all their evidence in the case so far. This evidence is called "discovery."
If the defendant is facing misdemeanor charges, he/she enters an initial plea at the arraignment. Typically, defendants will enter a "not guilty" plea, and then the defense attorney and prosecution will try to hammer out a negotiation (plea deal) over the next several weeks or months. If they cannot agree, the defendant has the choice to go to trial.
Alternatively, if the defendant is facing felony charges, he/she can either enter a guilty plea or ask for a "preliminary hearing" to be scheduled in a few weeks. A preliminary hearing is like a mini-trial where the prosecution has to prove to the court that they have enough evidence to bring criminal charges and have an actual trial. During that time, the defense attorney and prosecution can still try to hammer out a plea deal in an attempt to avoid trial.
It is very important that people who are facing charges either show up for their arraignments or hire defense attorneys to appear for them. Missing an arraignment date will prompt the judge to issue a bench warrant for the defendant's arrest. Read more information on Nevada arraignments.

Snowmen drift into your life like they were sent from above. The relationship is great, rolls right along, and builds. Everything seems perfect … until a little heat is introduced. Then they melt, leaving only their hat, their scarf, something to remind their victims of what they'd lost. Urban cowgirl Haley Monroe is told that the fabulously hot guy who just dumped her was a snowman. Her friend Maximilian convinces her that the only way she'll ever stop being played by snowmen is to become one. It takes a lot of drinks to work up the nerve, but Haley gets her sexy on and goes on the prowl. Famous horror author Larry White drops everything to attend a midnight séance at Maximilian's apartment where he meets Haley. By the way she's dressed—and just propositioned him—he assumes she's a hooker. Larry can't pass up the chance to get inside her head, especially since prostitution is the character's occupation in his next book. After spending the weekend together, unexpected sparks surprise both Haley and Larry. The trouble is Haley is dead-set on snowmanning the unkempt "starving artist" she met at the séance, and Larry doesn't think he could have a real relationship with a woman with a past, so they go their separate ways. The real fun begins when they meet again and find out neither one of them were who they thought they were. Can they reignite the flame? Or will they have a snowman's chance in hell?
Available now on AmazonMy Thoughts: The Trouble with Snowmen is a cute romance. Well actually it's a disaster turned romance. I found myself shaking my head at how much these two characters could mess up. It was funny and it made their story more interesting.
Haley is a sweet girl. She's a people pleaser, which isn't a bad thing, but I felt like she let people walk on her at times. She grows some in the story, and figures out where she wants her life to go. I liked that part a lot. Her relationship with Larry is a little messy at times, but I was really rooting for them.
The side characters in this book were a lot of fun. Maximilian was a great friend, if somewhat self-absorbed. I liked Haley's parents a lot, even though they were only in the book briefly. The slightly spooky aspect of the possible ghosts added something extra to the book. This is a fast and fun read that people will enjoy.
About the author:The inspirations for Dorlana's books and short stories are fairy tales, the supernatural, and classic romantic comedies. She has several books (teen and adult) available. She lives in Texas, near Houston, which is also the setting for her upcoming romance series Trouble with Men. The series will have fun, new dating terms and concepts, outrageous shenanigans, and a touch of magical realism. She enjoys shopping, TX Hold'em, movies, shoes, the beach, restaurants, and festivals.

Coffee addicts, listen up. A new feature in Apple's iOS 8 Health app will let you monitor your caffeine intake alongside your sleep patterns to find out how your daily cup o' Joe is affecting you.
Health aggregates your biological data and nutritional information into one platform so you can see all of it at a glance. With the latest iOS 8 beta release, Apple's added caffeine into the list of categories Health tracks. To do this, you'll have to install an app that monitors your caffeine intake, such as fitness equipment maker Jawbone's Up Coffee.
MORE: 10 Things You Didn't Know Your iPhone Could Do
Jawbone's app also studies your sleep behavior via its tracker. Developers will have to integrate their apps with the iOS 8 Health database for a more seamless user experience. It is widely rumored that the Health app will be a key component to a possible fitness tracker to be introduced by Apple later this year.
Caffeine tracking is just one of several improvements to the Health app released in the latest beta version of the upcoming system, including steps tracking via the iPhone's M7 motion processor. According to 9to5Mac, iOS owners will no longer have to depend on a third-party device, such as fitness trackers made by Fitbit or Jawbone, to monitor their steps taken. The latest iPhone operating system is set for a public release this fall.

The Fantastic Outdoors
Generating a good environment for you to flake out in exterior is an usually ignored element of house remodelling. Whilst on holiday, there's nothing that many men and women enjoy significantly more than sitting outdoors once the day cools and enjoying a calming amount of time in the twilight. But home for reasons uknown (it's the weather condition, let's not pretend, it is not often great) men and women are not appearing to consider the outside of their house as specifically welcoming place to be.
It is believed that presently, normally, lower than 10percent of our time is invested in the open air. But easy fresh air can give you a fantastic feeling of well-being and can lessen anxiety levels and reinvigorate your body.
No matter whether you're sitting in the yard in a t-shirt in the summertime, or perhaps in a jumper and woolly hat into the winter season, the consequence could be the exact same. So, the best place to begin when seeking to embrace the fantastic out-of-doors can be your home.
To begin with, you ought to make it a far more inviting place to be. Some quick gardening and great furniture is the greatest place to begin, although adding yard lighting is often the clincher. Lighting can change the entire feeling of a place and utilising solar power lights within yard can give your house an entirely new, beautiful look without much work.
Using solar yard lights entails you don't have to be concerned about the environment or rising energy bills, once the solar lights draw almost all their power from the sunshine and will also generally come on and off independently, meaning that you don't need to give all of them a moment idea.
When you like to remember precisely how inviting the outdoors could be, with a few quick improvements and some good solar yard lights, you'll have the finest environment to take pleasure from it in your yard.

No Bad News Over Email
Comments (2) Visits (7174)
This week was challenging, made worse by an email, which reminded me of this video from Tim Sanders called "Rule 1: No Bad News Over Email":
Rule 1: No Bad News Over Email from Tim Sanders on Vimeo.
I get a lot of suggestions for what to put on my blog.I realize that tweets are limited to 140 characters, so pointing to a video URL without muchexplanation or warning can be dangerous. An email can at least add appropriate warnings,such NSFW (Not Safe For Work) or "sorry if this offends you". The only warning I got fora video posted to YouTube by "StorageNetworkDud" was this short email:
"Sorry about the language they have used in some translations, but not sure who put this. It was on twitter."
Fortunately, I have my browser set up not to automatically play YouTube videos. The titlehelped warn me of the content, which turned out to be a [fan-subbed] scene from a World War II movie with brown-shirted tyrannical leader of an evil empire talking to his top generals. He dismisses all but threewith "Hollis, Burke, and Twomey stay in here" followed by a lengthy recap of EMC's recent troublesin the marketplace. At least in the video, the fuhrer correctly follows Tim Sander's advice:"if you have to tell someone bad news, say it in person."
While I understand that many people don't like EMC, the #3 storagevendor in the world, this type of "geek humor" hits a new low. The video was posted over amonth ago, but in light of the recent [shooting in Washington DC], I felt it was just notappropriate to post it here.
Readers, I appreciate all the suggestions, but give me some better warning next time!

In the past few months, I have gone through a lot of changes personally, creatively, and professionally. I took some time off of work to focus on answering the WHYs behind many of the decisions I have made. Some of them revolved around why I was working my job and why I wanted to pursue styling at all. I was tired of going through my unexciting and honestly unrewarding work weeks where I didn't feel like I had a purpose or impact.
On my break, I was able to revive the creative passion that I had for styling. I started blogging regularly and even started a YouTube channel with my friend. I started doing things that I wanted to do and learned that I could turn the fear of the unknown into a motivating factor to jumpstart my ideas again.
I recently did a photoshoot around the idea of minimalism. Sometimes I get too caught up in the details of producing extravagant work and then lose focus on the big picture. The photoshoot really coincided with my need to want to simplify everything in my life and it helped me to develop my aesthetic, clean and simple.

StickerKitten is run by Sarah and James from our home in Berkshire in the UK. We started the business in 2016 with the aim of making cute and contemporary papercraft supplies for the UK market. We loved what the American brands had to offer and wanted the same high quality, on-trend products here!
Sarah puts together the themes, colours and product ideas for each collection and James does the artwork based on Sarah's rather messy sketches. We have a mixture of cute designs (such as Birthday Dinos and Mermaid Treasures), stylish collections (such as Bird Garden) and bold, quirky ranges (like Dala Horse).
We were super happy to be awarded 'Highly Commended' in the Best Start-Up Category of the Craft Business Awards in February 2018.
My background is in publishing so I love books and any kind of paper! I have been making cards and projects since 2012 and when I was little I used to collect sequins and stickers, so I suppose StickerKitten is just a rather epic extension of that…
My background is in web design and development and I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. At university I drew lots of web comics, and two cute dinosaurs from one of them became the basis for our first range – Birthday Dinos. I designed and built our StickerKitten website and online shop and solve any technical issues that come up.
- The quality of our designs are really important. We work hard to coordinate each collection to make it easy for you to create beautiful projects. It can be a slow process and dozens of designs are discarded that don't come up to scratch. We want to bring you the very best on-trend goodies to craft with!
- The quality of our products is also really important. Our papers and stamps are manufactured in the UK using some of the best materials available (thick, high quality paper and industry-leading photopolymer stamps). The embellishments that we make ourselves are made with love and care (and sometimes swearing when machines break down) and we check each product carefully to make sure it's something we ourselves would be delighted with!
- We care about the environment and don't want to litter the world with plastic. It's quite a challenge to operate without it though so it will take time but we are slowly working towards making our products more eco friendly. You can read more about it on the Environment page.
- We super duper care about you! Our customers are really important to us – we couldn't make StickerKitten work without you. We love to hear from you and see your craft projects and just generally get to know you. The craft community is a wonderful one and we love being part of it! To stay in touch with us please sign up to our newsletter and follow our social media channels. We aim to keep you topped up with inspiration!

RB Capital, which is bidding for 42 Marriott hotels in the U.K., is seeking to acquire other assets in Europe and expand in Southeast Asia as it prepares to list a hospitality trust in Singapore.
"We are accumulating assets, we are bulking up," Kishin RK, chief executive officer of Singapore-based property company, said in an interview. "We are waiting for the right time to go out to the markets; we have a sizeable amount of development pipeline under construction."
The 29-year-old developer is betting on gains in tourism as Singapore has attracted about a million visitors a month since 2010, when its two casinos opened, and as more budget airlines fly to the city-state. Shares of Far East Hospitality Trust (FEHT) and Ascendas Hospitality Trust (ASHT) have gained since their initial stock sales in the country this year.

Whether it's a case of picky eaters, needing to stretch a meal, or just loving the taste, turning to pasta as a side dish or a base for a meal is a common process for any busy cook. But cooking on the stove is still time consuming and requires extra focus, especially if little hands are trying to "help" in the kitchen. Using your microwave or slow cooker to make pasta is an easy alternative to pasta on the stove.
Microwave Pasta
Add pasta to a deep, microwave-safe bowl.
Add water until the pasta is submerged. About ½ an inch of water above the surface of the pasta is a good rule of thumb.
Sprinkle a pinch or two of salt into the bowl and stir.
Cook in three- to four-minute increments, stirring after each increment. The pasta will take five to 10 minutes to cook, depending on how much you are making.
Drain any excess water and use pasta as desired.
Slow Cooker Pasta
Cook nonpasta ingredients first. Pasta cooks quickly in a slow cooker and adding it too soon will leave you with mush.
Add pasta to slow cooker, stirring once to mix it with the sauce or soup. Add extra water if the liquid content is low.
Cook for 20 minutes and serve. If using wheat pasta, increase the cooking time by 10 minutes.

Another reason to love her...
Words – Allanah Dykes
On Monday evening, Adele closed out the North American leg of her current world tour. While bidding farewell to her audience at the Talking Stick Resort Arena, Adele announced she is 'off to have a baby'.
It is not clear if she is announcing that she is going to have another baby, or she is planning to have another baby. Either way we are so excited for the singer!
'Give it up for me — I did it! I'll see you on the other side. I'm going to have another baby!'
The phenomenal singer has performed 107 shows in 10 months and will be taking a three month break before she finishes her world tour in Australia and New Zealand.
This isn't the first time Adele has talked about having a baby. Just over a month ago she was having baby fever and talked about it with the crowd when she performed at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
'My son is about to turn 4 very, very soon. I'm starting to get very emotional about it because I feel like once they turn 4, they're not really your actual baby anymore. So, my womb is starting to ache a little bit. It's like, "Baby, baby, baby. Need a baby, need a baby."'
Whether she is pregnant or not, many woman appreciated that after having her son Angelo, she was very candid about her post-natal depression.
Latest Stories
'My knowledge of postpartum — or post-natal, as we call it in England — is that you don't want to be with your child; you're worried you might hurt your child; you're worried you weren't doing a good job,' she explained. 'But I was obsessed with my child. I felt very inadequate; I felt like I'd made the worst decision of my life. It can come in many different forms. Eventually I just said, I'm going to give myself an afternoon a week, just to do whatever the fuck I want without my baby. A friend of mine said, "Really? Don't you feel bad?" I said, I do, but not as bad as I'd feel if I didn't do it.'
We can't wait until her tour starts back up, but we are so happy that she is getting a much needed break to spend with her family!

Thank you for working on this!
users of -Weverything therefore -> therefore, users of -Weverything
Would you care to propose a more exhaustive list of conflicting diagnostics? (Perhaps in a follow-up patch.)
once -> ones
clang -> Clang
- Address Aaron's comments.
I looked a bit and I'm worried that providing a list won't be particularly satisfying for people looking at this. I think it's better to have some warning, and let folks figure out what works for their particular situation. Here I'm assuming that they don't use C++98 and that seems reasonable, but figuring out what side of contradictions they're on doesn't seem like it'll work out.
One of the primary concerns with enabling -Weverything is the fact that we know this enables conflicting diagnostics. Telling the user "we know there are conflicting diagnostics, but we want you to have the joy of figuring out which ones conflict for yourself" seems even more unsatisfying, to me. I agree that we don't want to tell users which of the conflicting options they should disable, but was thinking of something more along the lines of:
The following sets of options are known to have some possibly unfortunate interactions when enabled together: * -Wfoo, -Wbar * -Wbaz, -Wquux * ... Note that there may be other conflicting diagnostic flags not listed above.
I figure that gives users a bit more of an idea of what they're signing up for when they enable -Weverything, which seems useful.

Character is the issue – the importance of clown character
Numerous times on this site, I've pointed out that a clown's character is what injects both life and humor into his performance. In addition, it's the character of the clown that customizes a skit as well. On the original skits posted here, you will find over and again the recommendation to change or adapt the skits as needed for your clown character. Allow me to give you a concrete example.
Most people are acquainted with the "Slowly I Turned" routine, an old vaudeville skit. In a nutshell, one character had his life ruined, and he gained revenge on the individual responsible at a certain location (typically, Niagara Falls). Upon hearing the name of that location, he slips back into his "vengeance" mode and re-enacts his physical retribution on some innocent person. It was made popular in 1944 by the Three Stooges in their short film "Gents Without Cents" (available on DVD), as well as by Abbott and Costello in their movie "Lost in a Harem" in the same year. How could the same routine be in two different movies in the same year? Because even though it was the same routine, it was very different.
In the Three Stooges version, the Stooges acted out the violence on themselves, in traditional slapstick fashion. In the Abbott and Costello routine (originally using "Poko Moko" instead of "Niagara Falls", although when they did the routine on their TV series, they also used "Niagara Falls"), it's a stranger who acts out the violence on an innocent Lou Costello – who is only stopped by Bud Abbott when Lou's hat is almost damaged. Although the essentials of the skit are unchanged, it is the reactions of the characters involved that give the unique flavor to the skit.
In 1952, Lucille Ball, a great film and TV clown in her own right, incorporated the skit into one of her funniest TV episodes, "The Ballet" (available on DVD) – again, the essentials of the routine are the same, but Lucy's character gives the performance a unique twist, creating her own version of the same vaudeville routine.
Now, imagine how Laurel and Hardy would have acted out this routine. Imagine how Charlie Chaplin, or Red Skelton would have acted this out, and you'll get my point – it's your character, in the skit, that makes the skit special and funny. Try it – modify a skit to fit your character, instead of being a "cookie cutter clown."

Harbour Lights
Sydney Harbour
Sydney NSW 2000
Sydney Harbour
Sydney NSW 2000
-33.855418, 151.212484
Harbour Lights turns the waters of Sydney Harbour into a Vivid Sydney precinct, with many vessels moving across the water in a gentle, synchronised lighting display.
The work is designed by 32 Hundred Lighting and uses a satellite-navigational grid to coordinate lighting changes; as vessels adorned with brilliant LED lighting pass through parts of the grid, colours change simultaneously – and each little vessel becomes part of a coordinated display that moves across the colour spectrum as they move across the harbour.
Many commercial operators participate in the installation, enabling their passengers to enjoy Vivid while offering an additional perspective: the stunning light reflections that dance upon the water.
Check out a wide range of cruise options from the participating vessel operators.

How does Windows persist drive letters when attaching/detaching cinder volumes ?
Whenever filesystems are mounted inside Windows instances the administrator will usually assign a drive letter to the device. This information is made persistent inside the registry HKLM\SYSTEM\Mounted Devices registry subkey. Therefore the drive letter will be always persistent as long as you have the volume attached to the same instance. The device order does not matter in this case. My information was based on the quote I found at windowsitpro.com stating :
According to a Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) representative, Windows uses the disk ID as an index to store and retrieve information about the disk. For example, in the HKLM\SYSTEM\Mounted Devices registry subkey, the disk ID appears as REG_BINARY data in the \DosDevices\ and \\??\Volume{} entries because Windows uses the disk ID to store and retrieve information about persistent drive letter mappings and mount points.
And what happens if you detach and attach cinder volumes in the wrong order ?
In short nothing, as long as the volumes are attached to the same system retaining the same copy of the registry. If ever the registry or the system changes, the device letter will be reordered. That's also a good reason to choose your device description wisely in case you have to recover from a instance/OS issue.

Here's another installment in my thoughts on digital convergence, cross-posted with permission from the CI KTN website.
I said I'd get round to demographics, and I specifically want to talk about age. Now, I write this as a 45-year old, not an angry young man, but let me start with a double anecdote. As readers of many of my posts about metadata will know, I am an avid fan of contemporary heavy metal. There, I said it. I go to a lot of gigs and try to write them up on my blog. A day or two after a show, I can generally find half a dozen bits of mobile-shot "fan footage" from the gig to illustrate my post; remember – I'm talking about a kind of metal whose audience has an average age of, say, 23.
But I like other music, too, and recently I attended what turned out to be a rather storming PiL gig in Brighton, whose audience was, well, let's just say I was one of its youngest members. So, come the following day, I get round to writing about the gig and can find precisely no fan footage of the show, and, casting my mind back, I realise that the usual forest of held-aloft mobiles which characterises the pit at a metal gig was entirely absent.
Here's the thing: most execs in the media – publishers, broadcasters, programme makers and so on – are vastly more likely to correspond demographically to a PiL audience than that of, let's say, Cult of Luna. That's to be expected: it takes a lot of experience to get to a senior position in most fields, so people tend not to be in a strategically important position until their late thirties at the earliest. And to most people in that age group all this talk of transmedia remains fanciful at best, and possibly even annoying.
Moreover, while there's a huge pressure on execs to "get this", the pressures of the job (which from experience is often 24/7) simply don't allow for experimentation with technology. Write up appraisals or play with a new iPad app? Sit down with an external supplier to negotiate terms or sit down with TweetDeck for an hour? I think you know which options will win out… And don't forget that people around the age of 40 very often have other little pressures in their life.
The truth is, in my "other life" as a digital media strategist, I spend a lot of time with senior people in arts and media organisations who absolutely understand how important all "this stuff" is, but have precious little time, energy or frankly inclination engage with it at anything other than a surface level – at best. Yet this is the generation that is making the decisions about the deployment of digital strategies within the media – and I can't help but think that they (that is, we) are in the right place in their lives to do so with the best results.

English poet, Alexander Pope, quote what would be a popular saying in his Essay on Criticism:
To err is human, to forgive divine.
What do you feel about this adage? Do you agree? Do you apply it in your personal life?
The Wicked Wasp of Twickenham was correct that to make a mistake is to be human. We are all not perfect and are instead susceptible to temptations and wrong judgments. It is our nature to commit mistakes. All of us have our flaws no matter how much we hide it.
However, no matter how huge our shortcomings are, God is there to forgive us. His divine mercy is always shown whenever we humans commit mistakes. As God's creatures, would it be too bad to follow our Maker and forgive others, too?
We all make mistakes in our lives and we should try our best to forgive others who wronged us. Yes, forgiving someone who did wrong, especially on a grand scale, will be very hard to do, but one must find it in his heart to forgive. What would you feel if it will be you who asked for it but was denied?
This post is getting too serious, and I must do something to keep it light. I don't want my dear readers to get bored of my preaching. 🙂
APOLOGY – noun, plural a·pol·o·gies.
– a written or spoken expression of one's regret, remorse, or sorrow for having insulted, failed, injured, or wronged another: He demanded an apology from me for calling him a crook.
It never fails to enter my mind that whenever I hear or read the word apology, a Korean drama called 개인의 취향 (Personal Preference, Personal Taste, Perfect Match)
starring the very handsome Lee Min Ho (playing Jeon Jin Ho) from Boys over Flowers, and upcoming star Son Ye Jin (playing Park Gae In), which was aired while I was senior in university, year 2010. If you want to read the synopsis, please click here.
In one of the scenes, Gae In felt sorry and wanted to apologize to JinHo. She went to Jinho, with this:
"사과 주세요!" (Accept my Apology!)
In Korea, the pun is used for the word apology, which shares the same translation with apple – 사과 (sagwa).
Here are other shots of apple-ogy:
When you are so angry at someone, perhaps those infuriating emotions will dissipate when you see that person responsible for what you are feeling holding an apple with his/her apology. Perhaps we can also say, "An apple a day, keeps anger away."
Have someone you have offended lately? Go and try giving an apple-ogy. It is not necessary that you give an apple – it may be an orange, McD's burger, or even a hug. What matters most is that you have salvaged your relationship with someone who is important to you. Remember, sincerity in one's apology is more important than the means of it being delivered.

We can see the whole canvas now. Teams have three distinct segments during the year to improve: The offseason, spring training, and then the deadlines for non-waiver and waiver deals.
That covers a period from the end of the previous season through the last day players still could be made eligible for a playoff roster. With the close of shopping on Aug. 31, we can now see which organizations did best and worst in importing talent.
For this exercise, we are talking about only new players added. So we are not talking about the Yankees' wise decision to retain Andy Pettitte or the Mets' foolishness in keeping Oliver Perez. It also means no points to the Rangers for the brilliant strategy to shift Michael Young to third so defensive whiz Elvis Andrus could play short.
We also recognize how quickly perceptions change. A month ago, the Phillies might have topped this list on Raul Ibanez alone, but he really has struggled in the second half. Also, we are not using a crystal ball to project what, say, CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira will be at the ends of their contracts.
This is a current view of who succeeded and failed in bringing new blood to their organizations:
If you have $400 million-plus lying around, you too can invest in Sabathia, Teixeira and A.J. Burnett. But two factors in lauding the Yankees here:
1) In the past, they have not always spent wisely in free agency (but enough about Carl Pavano). At the moment, Burnett is raising doubts if he was a good sign. But Sabathia and Teixeira are elite performers.
2) The Yankees also have excelled at the smaller stuff this year.
General manager Brian Cashman accepted a contract extension after last season and said he was motivated to change the storyline that, essentially, he did not know what he was doing. So far, so good. He stole Nick Swisher from the White Sox. He took a flyer on Sergio Mitre, who was recuperating from Tommy John surgery. And he deepened the bench and staff by adding Eric Hinske, Jerry Hairston and Chad Gaudin for little in prospects and
a bit more than the
$1 million the Yankees received in selling Darrell Rasner to a Japanese team.
Signing Orlando Hudson and Randy Wolf to one-year deals was brilliant financially, on the field and in the clubhouse. Ronald Belisario has been, arguably, the best minor league sign of the offseason, helping an overtaxed pen immensely. Don't laugh Mets/Yankees fans, but Guillermo Mota and Jeff Weaver have helped.
And for the second consecutive year, Dodgers GM Ned Colletti has done very well at augmenting his roster during the season by upgrading the rotation (Jon Garland), bullpen (George Sherrill), and bench (Jim Thome, Ronnie Belliard).
In the offseason, St. Louis improved its lefty setup crew with Trever Miller and Dennys Reyes, but also took on a complete bust in Khalil Greene.
Nevertheless, during the season, the Cards have transformed their lineup, mainly by obtaining Matt Holliday, but also Mark DeRosa and Julio Lugo. Plus, St. Louis has taken a so-far-successful flyer on John Smoltz.
After the amateurish overspending of Bill Bavasi's tenure, Jack Zduriencik moved wisely in his first year as GM. Seattle won the three-team, 12-player trade with the Mets and Indians because they got by far the best player, Franklin Gutierrez. And Seattle found a low-cost alternative to the biggest player moved in the deal, J.J. Putz, when it made a small trade with Boston for David Aardsma, who entered the weekend with 33 saves.
Russell Branyan added power to the lineup, and Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Sweeney provided pedigree and leadership to the clubhouse.
Obviously, it was not easy trading their most accomplished hitter, Holliday, to Oakland. But the return, notably Huston Street and Carlos Gonzalez, have helped make Colorado a wild-card contender. Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd traded for two-fifths of a surprisingly strong rotation: Jason Marquis and Jason Hammel.
And as injuries have eaten away at pitching depth, O'Dowd stayed vigilant in adding Rafael Betancourt, Joe Beimel and Jose Contreras.
The Tigers had a lot of expensive pitching dead weight that would have sunk them if they had not obtained Edwin Jackson in a trade and Brandon Lyon in free agency. The 2009 Nationals are mostly a disaster, but they did build an interesting outfield in Adam Dunn, Nyjer Morgan and Josh Willingham while reaching a good agreement with first-overall pick Stephen Strasburg. The Braves did well in addressing their rotation (Javier Vazquez, Derek Lowe, Kenshin Kawakami) and lineup (Adam LaRoche, Nate McLouth, David Ross, Garret Anderson). The Angels have benefited from moves big (Brian Fuentes), medium (Bobby Abreu) and small (Matt Palmer).
1. Mets
There was an arrogance/ineptitude combination that beset the Mets in the offseason. The Cubs all but begged the Mets to take the Staten Island-born Marquis with the promise of paying half the contract, but the Mets told Chicago they were set with pitching. They gave the same message to the Rays when Tampa told the Mets that Jackson, Hammel and Jeff Niemann were available, and not at a significant prospect cost. And remember the Mets were overconfident because they had created a
No. 5 starter battle among Tim Redding, Livan Hernandez and Freddy Garcia.
Abreu's reps also begged the Mets to let the Manhattan resident play in Queens. That was a no go, too because the Mets believed in a corner outfield rotation of Daniel Murphy, Fernando Tatis and Ryan Church. There has been a lot of back-patting for turning Church into Jeff Francoeur. But Church has roughly the same OPS as a Brave that Francoeur does as a Met.
The big trade for Putz was a disaster, considering it also brought the ineffective Sean Green. The Mets counteracted a good move, plucking Darren O'Day in the Rule 5 draft, by losing him on waivers to Texas to get Nelson Figueroa on the 25-man roster.
The formula for becoming the majors' most disappointing team: Kevin Gregg as the closer, the volatile Milton Bradley on a three-year contract to serve as the lefty might (Abreu begged here, too), and a two-year contract for a non-descript utilityman in Aaron Miles.
They cannot hide behind the small-market excuse. There is just plain negligence when you hand two-year contracts to Kyle Farnsworth, Juan Cruz and Willie Bloomquist; and trade for Coco Crisp, Mike Jacobs and Yuniesky Betancourt. Should we also mention that they were the employer this season of Sidney Ponson?
They traded Swisher and Vazquez, and not only have nothing yet to show for it (we will see about Tyler Flowers from the Vazquez deal), but they used some of the saved dollars on Jake Peavy and Alex Rios, who could be disasters that keep on giving expensively into the future.
They lost out to the Yankees' late bid on Teixeira, and decided to invest in high-risk, high-reward, one-year ventures on Smoltz, Brad Penny, Rocco Baldelli and Takashi Saito. They really weren't counting on Saito to be — by far — the best from that group. The poor pitching of Smoltz and Penny probably will cost them the AL East title, and maybe the playoffs.
Victor Martinez's offense was a deadline godsend. But Boston flipped LaRoche (who has been a boon in Atlanta) for the unproductive Casey Kotchman. Ramon Ramirez has been a bullpen asset all year, and maybe the late additions of Paul Byrd and defensive ace Alex Gonzalez will matter.
Tampa has nothing to show for moving Jackson and Hamels, and its big-money move of the offseason, Pat Burrell, has not worked. The A's attempts to add offense with Holliday, Jason Giambi, Nomar Garciparra, Orlando Cabrera and Scott Hairston has been a debacle. The Indians went 0-for-3 with their big moves of the offseason: DeRosa, Pavano and Kerry Wood.

Category: WorkReady | Nov 29, 2016
PHILADELPHIA, PA (Nov. 29, 2016) -- On this Giving Tuesday, Mayor James Kenney along with other city officials, businesses, and organizations rallied support for youth employment, making the plea to help give more young people an opportunity. WorkReady Philadelphia, a citywide campaign managed by the Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN), connects young people to employment opportunities that create a foundation to meet the challenges of generating a 21st century workforce.
The press conference began with Mayor Kenney reaffirming the City's commitment to its young people with the goal of providing 16,000 employment opportunities by 2020. This past year, 10,650 young people had work experiences provided by WorkReady and other employers and programs across the city.
"Youth employment is critical not only to the success of our youth, but of our city overall." said Mayor Kenney. "I'm proud of the work we did together last year, and I know we can provide even more opportunities in the coming year. In order to reach our goal, we have to work together, public and private sectors, to create more opportunities through WorkReady Philadelphia."
Of the 10 largest U.S. cities, Philadelphia has the highest rate of deep poverty, a crisis that can be alleviated through education and employment. As today's youth are tomorrow's workforce, ensuring that they are trained and prepared to enter the workforce is a critical need.
As Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, PYN is working to secure early commitments from the public and private sectors to fund both WorkReady summer jobs in 2017 as well as year-round opportunities.
Among these year-round opportunities is a new partnership, the Hub at PA CareerLink® West, made possible by the US Department of Labor. The Hub integrates the youth and adult public workforce system, connecting youth and young adults with employment and education opportunities, while providing individualized supports.
"The economic vitality of our future, depends on the choices we make today," said Chekemma Fulmore-Townsend, President and CEO of PYN. "On this Giving Tuesday, we are asking our partners, old and new, to give the gift of opportunity. Your investment is a contribution to ensure our young people succeed, our communities thrive, and our opportunities grow beyond summer to all year long."
About WorkReady:
WorkReady Philadelphia is a cross-sector, city-wide initiative dedicated to improving the economic outcomes of the region's youth by attracting, aligning, and investing resources in coordinated, youth-workforce-development strategies. The WorkReady Philadelphia campaign is a collaborative of organizations and resources; including employers, schools, community-based organizations, advocacy groups, labor unions, and private investors.
About the Philadelphia Youth Network:
The Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN) is the managing partner of WorkReady Philadelphia. PYN is an intermediary organization dedicated to connecting systems and leveraging resources. PYN works to equip young people for academic achievement, economic opportunity and personal success. To achieve this mission, we coordinate and support large-scale, cross-sector initiatives while developing targeted programs to expand access to services for underserved youth.

Twitter is full of liberals apparently
- Breaking the Guardian's court injunction banning them from naming mining company Trafigura.
- Attacking Daily Mail writer Jan Moir for "homophobic" remarks on the death of gay pop star Stephen Gately.
- Criticising Sunday Times critic AA Gill for shooting a baboon while on safari.
- Vilifying Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan and his criticism of the NHS in the US, in the #welovethenhs campaign.
Reacting to the poll, Prospect managing editor James Crabtree said: "New technologies are often adopted by the political extremes of left and right. It is clear that the urban, metropolitan, Guardian-reading 'chattering classes' have flocked online to become the 'twittering classes' —and they are now a real force in British politics."The survey confirms Twitter's image in Britain as a tool for a youthful metropolitan elite. 46 per cent of users are younger than 35, compared to 29 per cent of the population, while Twitter users more likely to live in London.
But where Twitter users and the rest of the country most disagree, perhaps unsurprisingly, is over the service itself. Twitter users might think the service is worthwhile, but 76 per cent of the British population give the idea a thumbs-down, saying they have never used it and do not intend to in future—meaning the "twittering classes" could have a Twitter monopoly for some time to come.

Welcome to the new CommScope.com experience. Need help? Get Help
Every year, we publish the results of our Media Engagement Barometer—a snapshot of the way that people around the world are interacting with media.
Our latest study, published today found that we're watching an enormous amount of content, in some surprising ways, in unexpected places…
For instance, more than 1/7th of our daily lives is spent watching video. That's 3.5 hours a day. 25 hours per week.
Not impressed? You knocked that out in two days during a Battlestar Galactica marathon? Well, perhaps you're among the growing population of tablet owners (26%) who have achieved an industry reputation as "super users."
Yes, you tableters watch more videos, record more content, and do more online shopping than those without. And you're more likely to have blogged, tweeted, linked, status updated, and chatted about it too. Your tablet-viewing migration from the living room (40%) to the bedroom (41%) is the stuff of legend. You are multiscreen pioneers. And we salute you.
Our barometer also covered multiscreen and time-shift habits, the cost of content, social media use, connected home trends, and more from around the globe.
Here are other interesting findings:

For the most complete results with astrology, you need your exact date, time, and place of birth.
The best source for this information is your birth certificate or other credible document (such as a family baby book, birth announcement, or letter). Even without these documents, most people can know with certainty the date and place of their birth; in some cases, obtaining the time of birth may present a challenge.
When You Don't Know Your Birth Time: Get A "Simplified Birth Chart"
If you are unable to obtain your birth time, you still can benefit greatly from astrology. In this case, you still would use the birth chart calculator on our website, but you will create a simplified chart. Please note that, with this type of chart, any astrological interpretation must be more general, and some astrological analysis tools and methods will not be available.
To get a simplified birth chart for an unknown birth time, follow these steps:
- Go to the free birth chart calculator.
- Enter your date of birth using the dropdown menus.
- Enter your city of birth.
- For the time of birth, do not use the "time unknown" checkbox. Instead:
- If you have no information at all and nothing that can help you narrow down which part of day you were born, then create a "noon chart" by entering "12" for the hour and entering "00" for the minutes. A noon chart is halfway through the day, so it represents a daily average for all the planetary positions and will give you plenty of useful data.
- If you have some information, such as "You were born in the morning after breakfast," then figure out the earliest possible time that "after breakfast" could have been as well as the latest possible time you could have been born. Then use the calculator to create two charts: one for the earliest possible time and another for the latest possible time. Until you can narrow down an exact birth time, you will use both charts for reference; much of the data will be very similar, but if the time frame you're working with is large, you will see a difference in the Moon's position and in which houses the planets occupy. (If the Moon was close to changing signs, the two charts might show the Moon in different signs, depending on how large your possible birth time frame is.)
If you were born within two days of the start date of an astrological sign, it's important to confirm which sign the Sun occupied when you were born. (See the question about "How Can I Tell What My Sun Sign Is?" in this FAQ section to check if your birth date comes within that two-day range.)
You Still May Be Able To Figure Out Your Sign, Even Without Birth Time
Even without an exact birth time, you still may be able to find out for certain which sign the Sun occupied. Follow these steps:
- Use the birth chart calculator to create two charts for your date of birth, one for midnight ("00" for the hour and "00" for the minutes) and one for 11:59 p.m. ("23" for the hour and "59" for the minutes). For both these charts, be sure to enter your correct date and place of birth.
- Then you use the Zodiac Signs and Planet Symbols charts in the "How To Read Your Birth Chart" section of the birth chart calculator page to see the Sun's sign in the charts you just calculated. The Sun's symbol is a circle with a dot in it; look to see which sign it's in on each chart. If the sign is the same for both charts, then you know that the Sun did not change signs that day, and that sign is your Sun sign.
- If the signs for the Sun differ between the two charts, then you know the Sun changed signs on the day you were born. Without the exact time of your birth, it is not possible to confirm your Sun sign. If in the future you are able to narrow down your possible time of birth to a portion of the day, then you may be able to identify your Sun sign by calculating a chart for the beginning of that portion of the day and calculating a second chart for the end of that portion of the day; if the Sun is in the same sign for those two charts, then you will know for sure that that sign is your "Sun sign."
Astrology Can Help You, With Or Without Your Birth Time
Keep in mind that, even if you cannot obtain your birth time, you still can benefit greatly from astrology. It can give you a wealth of information about yourself to help you understand who you are and why you're here. It also can help you understand other people much better so you can enjoy happy relationships.
