#NYFW: Michael Kors Spring 2013 with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Olivia Munn and Camilla Belle
Forgive me, Glamazons. I am more than a day late and a dollar short giving you the deets on the Michael Kors Spring show. But considering he is one of my favorite American designers, I think we can still get away with discussing this. Yes?
So, finally, here are the deets:
Inspiration: Style.com reported that Michael used the words, "geometric glamour" to describe his collection.
Key Looks: Rugby stripes had a huge moment in this collection, lots of gold hardware and zippers.
Who I Could See Rocking This Look: A lot of the dresses look like something that Jennifer Hudson would enjoy, all the studs and zippers? Up Rihanna's alley.
Front Row: Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Olivia Munn, and Camilla Belle.
What do you think of the collection, Glamazons? Yay or nay?
Stay Stylish,
Glamazon Channing

"Pillar of Defense (Cloud)" - Israel & Hamas Agree to Gaza Cease Fire
Poster Handle
Post Content
If Palestine is recognized as a state at the UN and Morsi is impeached in Egypt...it's pretty much game over !
If the US doesn't veto the Palestinian bid I think it clearly shows which side Obummer is on and it's safe to say Israel will be on its own !
You know what, I think I've had just about enough of this hand-wringing & whining.
1) Israel is full of Jews and Jews, especially Ashkenazi ones, are supposed to be awesome, smart and creative.
2) Israel, Mossad and Co. had to have known who and what Barry Hussenovich Soetoro The First was even before his election in 2008. And if by some mindboggling reason, they didn't do their homework THEN... then they absolutely should have known it by NOW.
3) And for all the Obama hostility to Israel, mostly of covert & sneaky variety as Obama is too smart to have confronted Israel publically --- for instance, why do you think Erdogan all of the sudden started to accuse Israel of being terrorist-state and sent provocative Flotilla? --- what with him being Obama's best chum.....why do you think suddenly Muslim Brotherhood is on the march, etc.
4) Well, for all the Obama's Anti-Israeli background & clever backstage manipulations.... and considering that Romney was supposed to be Bibi's good friend...... Mossad seems to have done absolutely NOTHING to sabotage Obama's re-election.
*Nothing on Benghazi-gate.
*Nothing on Obama's Chicago gay bath-house hijinks.
*Nothing on Obama's cocain using & possibly dealing.
*Nothing on that video tape that LA Times was allegedly suppressing back in 2008.
*Nothing on fake BC
*Nothing on Obama's muslim faith
*Nothing on Obama's college records, his alleged lies about being a foreign student, the dubious Saudi Arabia characters who bank-rolled his education....
Nothing. Mossad did nothing. It was all there. Obama barely won the re-election as it is, probably with George Soros vote-flipping in Spain; so unconvering even ONE of the aformentioned scandals, would have ruined Obama.
5) After dodging a UN bullet in 2011, Israel HAD to have known that the only reason it didn't work was because Obama & Abbas were saving the best for last --- that is, for AFTER Obama's November 2012 Elections. Netanyahu had ample time to prepare for that eventuality.
6) Actually, Israel and their supposed top-notch intelligence operators, International Law experts, and Propaganda meisters... should have been ALL preparing for this contingency/eventuality for years, nay for DECADES. With not just Plan A in place, but also plan B, C, D, E, F, well sorry I only know the alphabet until the letter F, but you get the idea
7) I already posited in my 18-point post a few days back, that in my opinion one of the biggest reasons Netanyuahu cut short the Operation "Amud Anan" was because of the Abu Mazen's impending UN Status-Upgrade application. Which in turn would allow PA to sue Israel for WAR CRIMES in Hage ----> not matter how inherently ridiculous & frivilous such charges may be, do NOT expect the (massively Saudi/Qatar-bribed) European "Progressives" to give Israel a fair chance.
8) It must be shown beyond reasonable doubt and using 21st century media tools that Paletine does NOT even begin to meet the necessary criteria for Statehood if only because:
a) One of the main conditions for being accepted into the family of nations is that the applying entity MUST be both economically
and, even more importanly, be
peaceful & peace-seeking
. PA absolutely fails on both accounts. The terror, the terror incitement & vile teaching of children to hate & kill the Jews is rampant in "Palestine". Easily provable and demonstratable.
b) Both Hamas AND the secular PLO founding Charters clearly
both Jewish rights & existence. Their leaders have echoed that sentiment over the years, both in Arabic and in English. Even the darling of the West, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Mr. Moderate Himself... is nothing but a
Holocaust-Denier, a bank-roller of the 1972 Munich Massacre.
Hell, as recently as this year, he said that Jews have no history in Jerusalem! In Jerusalem!
c) Abbas doesn't even represent the Palestinian people becaue his Presidential term
3 years ago. And his has zero authority in Gaza.
d) Again, PA should be disqualified if only because its military wing
-Aqsa Martyrs Br
igade is classified as a terrorist organization --- with history of dozens of bombings, shootings and other terror activity.
e) One of the main condition for Statehood is ability to uphold agreements & treaties over time. And a unilateral application to the UN is a gross violation of the
Oslo Accords
-- both in letter & spirit. And it's not as if Abbas has no peace partner --- in fact, Israel has been practically begging Abbas to come to the negotiation table for years. Likewise Israel is on record as having made sweeping concessions in 2000 with Ehud Barak and 2008 with Ehud Olemert. So the rejectionism & intransigence has clearly been the greater Palestinian strategy (especially with Obama pulling the strings behind the scenes)
f) San Remo, Balfour Declaration, the whole
League of Nation
decision on Jewish homeland being ENSHRINED into the Founding Charter of its successor, the UN. That guarantees Israel a much bigger territory. An undeniable fact that cannot be over-written by the UN General Assembly chockfull of banana-republics & dictators. Furthermore, even the UNSC
Resolution 242
authored by Eugene Rostow stipilates that the final status of the territories can only be decided through BI-LATERAL agreement. See: the editorial Eugene Rostow wrote in which he basically upholds Israel's righrs, if not outright sides with Israel.
If nothing else, all these alleged Jewish & Israeli geniuses, experts and officials should try to exert much more pressure on the overtly hostile Abbas. For instance, might want to let Abbas know that he and his corrupt sons not only will be cut off financially, Israel will also no longer protect him from Hamas asssassination squads -- remember Hamas is on record as being AGAINST this state application because it, if only indirectly, recognizes the Jewish state, LOL.......
Might want to tell Obama that if he doesn't stop Abbas, that Jewish settlement blocks, most of Area C and the Jordan Valley will be
(the latter is all the more important especially now that Jordan is at risk falling into Muslim Brotherhood hands)
So knowing all **
**.... having all that potential leverage..... if a week from now Bibi, Barak and Lieberman & their cadre of advisers & diplomats STILL get caught with their pants down... then they have NOONE to blame but themselves.
Ashton's Succulent Volvo 28337851

Just the basics, playa.
Let's see if Bibi is the Zionist he always claimed he was, or if he is just another Israeli
sell-out coward
in the mold of Shimon Pers, Ehud Barak, Ehud Olmert, Tsipi Livni, Shelley Yachimovich, Yossi Beilin, Ben-Ami, Ben-Eliezer, Shaul Mofaz, Yair Lapid, Zahava Gallion, et al.

Group hits the streets - barefoot
Summer is still a couple of months away, but eventually it will be time to take off the shoes and go barefoot in the sand. But not everyone got the memo to actually wait until summer.
It's not completely unheard of to take your shoes off indoors. But when everyone in the office is doing it at the same time, on the same day, you might think it would raise a few eyebrows. You might raise a few more eyebrows if you're planning to head out on the city streets with no shoes on... and if you're doing it on purpose.
That's what one group did - they left the United Way over the noon hour - to walk through downtown Traverse City - despite the snow flurries.
Sixteen year old Hannah Kelsey didn't mind. "It's a little cold, but I guess it kind of shows you how it could be for the homeless, those that don't have shoes. It's a little cold." Amanda Hilt with the United Way says when they planned this event several weeks ago, they didn't expect snow. But, that's kind of the point. "Hopefully it'll make even more of an impact on our community, and ourselves now, to realize just how uncomfortable it can be to go without shoes."
The event is called "One Day Without Shoes." It's an annual event started by a national shoe company... done to draw attention to how a simple pair of shoes can make all the difference to a person in need. Mark Eckhoff is the United Way Board President. He says it's a great opportunity to join in the effort to draw attention to a community need. "It's the most demonstrative way to really let everybody know what some people are suffering through, all over the world. So we can actually feel their pain and maybe be better advocates and that's what it's all about. "
One of the barefoot walkers was Kyra Kipley. She showed up in work clothes from her job at a local bank, but took off the dress shoes to support the cause. "The shock of the pavement was a little cold. By the end your feet were so numb that you didn't recognize you were cold, expect the pebbles definitely made your feet hurt a little bit."
It's not just about raising awareness - on the 'heels' of the barefoot walk, the United Way is also collecting new or "gently used" shoes to donate to those in need. Amanda Hilt says those shoes will stay in the local community. "It's just to benefit our community. We're taking some to Father Fred and some to Goodwill, they'll be taken to both."
The group walked downtown to a local shoe store on Front Street, before turning back to the United Way. But it's enough to give them a taste of what others go through. Kyra Kipley said "it's amazing what a pair of shoes does for your day. After today I will say I'm definitely more appreciative of them."
Pat Kelsey drove his car along the route, cheering for his two daughters. "They can do this in July and still have some effect, but this really makes a point of it, so I'm glad they did it. I don't know if they are, we'll find out!"
You can donate shoes directly to the United way office on Union Street in downtown Traverse City. Friday is the *last day they'll accept donations. Of course you can always donate directly to Goodwill or the Father Fred Foundation.

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it has withdrawn its approval of the import and sale of up to 200,000 gas-powered off-road motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles. The country of origin for the units is China.
In the last decade there has been a steady influx of low cost Chinese motorcycles into the American market. China has wrapped most of the motorcycles and ATVs around a simple 200cc single engine design.
The recent EPA action stems from questions about emissions testing. The EPA reports that manufacturers of certain Chinese motorcycles and ATVs falsified documentation that demonstrates that the vehicles will meet federal emission standards for certain pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and total hydrocarbons.
The manufacturers are the Chongqing Hensim Group Co., the Chongqing Longting Power Equipment Co., the Zhejiang Peace Industry and Trade Co., and the Zhejiang Chisheng Industry and Trading Co.
The EPA is contemplating an action under the Clean Air Act, which could lead to major financial penalties against the businesses that manufactured or imported the units in question. However, any individual who purchased one of the vehicles in question is not responsible for the company's infractions and can continue to use the vehicle.
What the puck? Knee puck that is. If you ever wondered when road racers started dragging a knee on the tarmac, here is a brief look at the history of the technique.
The Early Years:
From the origin of two-wheeled racing through the early 1960s, racers kept their butts on the seat and their knees pressed tightly to (or near) the tank. Racers took a very conventional inline riding position even through the tightest of corners. This was probably a very good thing considering the low technology and high profile of the tube mounted rubber of the time, not to mention the flexible frames and archaic suspensions. The early pioneers of racing did amazing things on their prehistoric mounts. They often scraped engine cases, exhausts, and pegs through every corner – but their knees only met the pavement by accident.
The Transitional Period:
The period of rapid and significant change in road racing posture and technique took place from the mid 1960s through the early 1980s. Butts moved off the seats and knees finally touched pavement. Maybe it was the fact that suspensions and tires were getting a bit better, or maybe the racers were just feeling the need for more speed. What ever the case, pioneers like Mike Hailwood, Eddie Lawson and Freddie Spencer all contributed greatly in the progression to the modern style. Each one took the evolution road racing body positioning to a new level. However, Kenny Roberts Sr. is credited with the true introduction of the knee dragging technique. In the late 1970s King Kenny used duct tape as his knee sliders! One of the coolest things about this transitional period in road racing was that the riders displayed very divergent styles within the same race.
The Modern Age:
The modern cornering style, with its extreme angles and high speeds is achievable in great measure due to the refinement of the technology of the bikes. Progressive tire compounds and profiles, suspension magic, and amazing brakes have made cornering speeds possible that old-time riders could only dream of. However, it is also true that modern riders have become true students of physics. The lower center of gravity of the modern knee-down, semi-contorted style has taken the sport into a new stratosphere. There is nowhere near the variation of cornering styles that there was in the transitional period; however the raw speed and athleticism of the modern riders is staggering. Plant yourself near a corner of a modern professional road race and be amazed!
Toy runs, benefit bike washes…motorcyclists can be a generous lot. What would you say to a product that protects your ride while raising awareness and benefiting a great cause? That's what I thought.
UltraGard Pink Motorcycle Covers are being offered to support breast cancer research. The covers display the signature pink of the breast cancer research cause. So that is step one – raising awareness. Awareness is important, but money talks. To that end, Big Bike Parts Inc, the manufacturer of UltraGard covers, will donate $5 from every purchase to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
The covers are pink over charcoal with a pink ribbon noting your support. The limited edition cover is available in three variations- a medium cover for street bikes and cruisers, a large cruiser cover with expandable windshield and sissy bar pockets, and a large touring cover.
Not only will you be supporting a great cause; you'll be getting a great product. The cover features a water resistant polyurethane coated polyester that protects against weather, dirt and pollution. The cover resists fading and other ravages of the sun. It also has a heat shield to protect the cover from hot exhaust pipes, allowing the use of the cover immediately after riding. It has other great features like rust-proof grommets, a sewn-in bungee, and soft windshield protection.
So…get your pink on!
{linkr:none}Hot heads sweat. Even well-vented helmets can get dirty and smelly with use. Many modern helmets have fully removable linings, but how to clean them is still an issue.
I have never been a fan of garment sprays that simply mask one smell with another. However, Western Power Sports Helmet Fresh is not just a cover-up. It actually attacks the bacteria and mildew that cause odor. That being said, spraying a chemical in a helmet that is going to be in constant contact with your head may raise some questions. Helmet Fresh answers that concern by being non-toxic, and non-allergenic.
So it's fine for your head, but what about your helmet? The clear formula is non-corrosive and non-staining. The application process is simple. You apply the product with the pump sprayer, rub the liquid into the lining, and then let the helmet sit for half an hour. The product does a good job of removing the salts and oils caused by perspiration.
Western Power Sports Helmet Fresh is a simple, effective, affordable product that works as advertised. It leaves a clean, non-offensive smell in that previously smelly lid. The 4 ounce bottle retails for about $6.
The mystique of the outlaw motorcycle gang is alive and well. The subculture known as the one-percenters evokes images of violence, loyalty and criminal behavior. First, let's be clear that the majority of motorcycle clubs do not exhibit criminal behavior. Further, not all serious gang (or club) members are one-percenters. In fact, the label one-percenter came from an AMA response to biker violence in the late 40s stating that 99% of all bikers are law abiding citizens; and only 1% exhibit anti-social or criminal behavior.
The most identifying feature of the outlaw biker culture is the 3-piece patch worn on the member's back. Here is a quick explanation of the significance of the patch or "colors".
Earning a place in an outlaw motorcycle club is a process often defined by violent or criminal acts. Further, outlaw motorcycle clubs require total allegiance from their members. The club takes priority over the member's job, outside friends, and even family. A member who does not exhibit total adherence to the "code" can be severely beaten or even killed.
An individual who is just "hanging around" a gang is awarded no part of the patch. The process of earning colors starts with a "prospect" being sponsored by a full member. At that point, the prospect is given the lower "rocker". The rockers are the upper and lower curved portions of the three-piece patch. The lower rocker indicates the location of the club. Later, the other two portions of the patch may, or may not be earned. The other two parts are the upper rocker that states the club's name, and the center logo patch. In some gangs, the last two parts of the patch are earned at the same time; in others, the process is separated.
As was stated earlier, the actions that earn the patch may be criminal or violent. A biker who does not display total loyalty to the club will not earn the patch. Further, virtually all outlaw gangs require a unanimous vote of the local membership for a prospect to become a full member.
Because of the crime and territorial violence associated with the wearing of club colors, some local or state law enforcement agencies have placed restrictions on the wearing of certain patches. The colors can actually be permanently confiscated if worn in public.
It should be noted that the some non-outlaw motorcycle clubs have adopted the 3-piece patch. Christian and veteran motorcycle clubs now sometimes wear a three piece logo. The difference is that these patches typically don't have a specific location in the bottom rocker.

Product 414/622
Jake Brown has always been content with his life on the family farm.
When he learns his rock idol, the legendary Russ London, is making a tour stop nearby, Jake sneaks off to the city, planning a simple night of music and fun--but everything changes when a chance encounter in a coffee shop brings him face to face with Russ London himself.
Jake sighed and shifted his weight to the other foot as the woman behind the counter tried to figure out how to work the cappuccino machine. He didn't need anything as fancy as cappuccino. All he wanted was a simple cup of hot chocolate, no whipped cream. Straight-up, as his uncle liked to say. The woman seemed to be consulting a manual now. He could see two other employees lurking in the back room, and there was one out on the sidewalk trying to entice people inside with coupons offering ten percent discounts on frothy beverages. The only person who seemed to be working on providing the promised beverages, however, was the new girl who didn't know how to operate the machine. Jake suppressed another sigh.
"Oh, right." Sarcasm was evident in the unmistakably British accent as the person behind Jake quoted, "'This place'll be quick'."
"Shut it," a second voice, also British, said. "I'll tell everyone it was my fault, right?"
The first speaker made a noncommittal sound. After a pause, he said, "Perhaps we ought to skip it. We're late as it is."
"Well, if we're already late another couple of minutes won't kill anyone, will it now?"
"It's rude to be late for sound check."
The last word nearly made Jake turn around. Of course there were plenty of clubs in Lincoln, and the chance that it was the same sound check he was interested in was small, but still, a chance was a chance. And those accents . . .
So he rubbed the back of his neck as he turned his head, pretending that he was stretching. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the speakers behind him just as the English accent was saying, "Since when do you care about punctuality?" It was only a glimpse, but in combination with the accents it was enough to make Jake's heart stutter.
He was witnessing a legendary fight between Russ London and Evan Wilde.
Well, not a fight. They still argued, Jake had read, but they didn't have the knock-down-drag-out brawls they used to get into when they had their first band together, when they were Jake's age. No, this wasn't the kind of fight that got Russ kicked out of Irritating Coworkers -- only to end up singing for a couple of years with the greatest heavy metal band in the world, then and ever: Industrial Revo.
Now Russ had his own band again, reunited with Evan. And they were just short of arguing, at this very moment, right behind Jake.
Jake waited a beat. Then he turned to face the lead singer and the lead guitarist of The Russ London Band, and said as casually as he could manage, "Hey, if you guys are in a hurry, you can cut in front of me."
"Yeah?" Russ London (Russ London!) cocked an eyebrow. Evan (Wilde!) was already nodding his thanks.
"Yeah," Jake said. "I'm not in a hurry."
Russ smiled, and Jake got so lost in it he nearly missed Russ's, "Ta, mate." He stepped back to make room for them, and stood there biting his lip for a moment to control his mouth. This was almost too good to be true, but he was definitely standing in a Lincoln, Nebraska coffeehouse with Russ London. Well, not with him, but next to him at least. He'd probably never have another chance like this. So he let his lip unfurl from between his teeth and moved in a step.

Hi Deeta!
I love that hair in the 4th photo, but are you sure it's Calm from Magika? I have that hair and yours looks different than mine. This is what mine looks like:
Yours is different. If it is the same hair, did you mod it somehow?

AC/DC: Fish Bait For Shark Ears.
If you enjoy biting people and listening to the rockin' tunes of Australia's AC/DC, then it seems you have a couple of things in common with the Great White Shark – and no, unfortunately I'm not referring to Greg Norman.
From The Advertiser:
A tourism operator on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula says that music by the Aussie rockers attracts the predators more than anything else – even fish bait. The sharks are particularly attracted to If You Want Blood and You Shook Me All Night Long, apparently because of their low frequencies.
And, if they're anything like me, they probably also like singing along to the line "knockin' me out with those American thighs!".
Sidenote: let's all take a moment to applaud the person who came up with the headline "We're your biggest fins" please.

You could do this for ANY occasion or holiday.
Just change up your colors and have a ball!
These make me smile.
Both of these ideas are so cute, Kelly...and so are you! I had to laugh about the margarita bucket! I've never seen the clear cans for the first project but I'll definitely look. And the cookies...do they have to be kept refrigerated? I know that sounds dumb! lol! Just wondered how you did it. I am going to check out Garnish. Thanks so much! :)
Popping by from I heart Naptime's linky party. I love both of these c-u-t-e ideas. I've made many a gift/project using those clear cans...but never thought about placing the paper on the inside! I like that. Also great idea about the cookie dough gifts. I'm afraid I would eat too much of the dough while making them. I'm now following you and look forward to catching up on your posts! I'm at altered-artworks.blogspot.com where you can see my altered acrylic can projects. Come on over to say hello.
These are so stinking cute! I love them! I'm addicted to Washi and the red dots on these are too cute! I'd love for you to come link this up at my Tuesday Time Out!

Suspicious husband won't end constant accusationsAnnie's MailboxDear Annie: I used to travel a fair amount for my job. These trips included lunches and dinners with my co-workers, sometimes in groups, sometimes not. At no time did I ever have the faintest interest in having an affair. But my husband thinks otherwise.
During the entire time I traveled, he constantly accused me of sleeping with "somebody." I never once gave him a reason to think I was cheating. I recognized that this was just his way of dealing with his own insecurities and poor self-image. I have not worked for a number of years, but on occasion, he stills insinuates that I had affairs. Instead of being supportive of my hard work then and now, he thinks it's more important to keep suggesting that I'm always looking for someone else to sleep with. How do I get him to stop? - Not a Cheater Dear Not: Your husband sounds overly suspicious. We don't mean to add to the problem, but sometimes those who are having affairs accuse the spouse of the same offense. Tell your husband that his continuing accusations undermine your trust and make you wonder what is really going on. Counseling could help get to the bottom of it. If he is unwilling, you can choose to turn a deaf ear or get counseling on your own. However, if his accusations become more strident or more frequent, this could indicate mental health or medical issues, and he should see his doctor. Dear Annie: I recently made a new friend at work. We have known each other for three months, and we get along great. However, imagine my surprise last week when she told me she used my first name on an online dating site. At first I just thought it was a little weird, but now I feel really uncomfortable about it and don't know what to do. How can I get her to change her online profile without ruining our work relationship? - Miffed Dear Miffed: This was presumptuous but not disastrous. If she used only your first name and the rest of her information is her own, it's annoying but not compromising. However, the fact that she would do this without consulting you indicates that she could easily take other liberties down the road, so you are smart to nip this in the bud. Be nice but honest. Say, "Dottie, remember when you said you used my first name on your dating profile? It really made me uncomfortable. And prospective dates don't like that sort of thing, either. Please change it immediately." If she is the type who would end a friendship over this, consider it a bullet dodged. Dear Annie: Hats off to you for printing the letter about World Suicide Prevention Day and bringing awareness to one of the most difficult events that happens in life. Only when you walk in these shoes do you understand what a person is going through when they become a survivor of a suicide. I lost my nephew to suicide in 2008. As difficult as it was, I sought the support of our local Survivors of Suicide support group. They understood exactly what our family was going through. Through their love, support and compassion, I was able to hold myself together. It has now been four years, and my life has gone on, but not without difficult days and sadness. Without the support group, it would have been much more difficult. I continue with the support group so that the incoming folks can see that life goes beyond their present grief. Please, if you find yourself in this situation, seek out S.O.S. through a national hotline, your local family services or on the Internet, for they understand your pain, and they give you hope when such darkness shadows your life. - S.O.S.

GEMEnA's third strand of work is to consider new and revised measures of participation in education and training designed to prepare out-of-school youth and adults for work. Existing federal data collections with survey items on enrollment and participation will benefit from a freshening of questionnaire items to better reflect current trends in delivery (including the expansion of on-line learning) and expanded policy interest related to federal and state investments in education and training for work. To begin this strand, GEMEnA commissioned a background paper to describe the two main types of education and training for work that occur outside of traditional credit-bearing postsecondary education: non-credit coursework and formal on-the-job training. Based on this background paper, and in consultation with experts, GEMEnA has identified a set of key research and policy issues. These key issues are guiding the strand 3 item development and review process.
As in strands 1 and 2, the item development process for Strand 3 began with a series of focus groups, in this case with adults who have participated in work-related education or training within the past year. Questionnaire items were then developed based on focus group findings. At this point, the participation work was incorporated into strand 4 work to develop a new household study on education, training, and credentials for work. Specifically, the participation items have been incorporated into a new survey instrument to be administered in a 2014 feasibility study, as part of the NCES National Household Education Studies (NHES) program. This work is described in further detail in strand 4.

Satellite Salon Series
When Dr. Lynn Vartan started her position at Southern Utah University, she wanted to bring her musical world closer to her students in Cedar City, Utah. Her desire to merge these worlds manifested itself in the launching of her Satellite Salon Series. This unique concert series happens twice a year, in September and January at SUU, and brings in a guest artist for a small residency for the weekend. As the series has developed, Dr. Vartan has added a visual artist to the master class and concert. On Thursday, the artist gives a masterclass to the both university and high school students, followed by a Q & A session led by Dr. Vartan, in the style of "Inside the Actor's Studio." The dynamic, collaborative Satellite Salon concert occurs on Friday evening. On Saturday morning, "Arts Unwrapped" is an interactive workshop for families designed to introduced youngsters to various aspects of the arts. All events are free and take place in Thorley Recital Hall.

Subject: [CON] Mousehole raid 1595 (part 2)
This is the second part of the account of the Mousehole raid
(Extracted from A.L. Rowses 'Tudor Cornwall')
During the years 1595 to 1597 the war at sea woke up again and large-scale
operations were resumed as in the years 1586 to 1589. ... Drake was called
out from his retirement and placed, with Hawkins, in command of another
expedition, their last, to that familiar scene of their activities where
they had made their début thirty years before. The expedition accomplished
little; both Drake and Hawkins died upon it and were buried at sea; disease
ravaged the fleet. In April 1596 several of their ships reached Falmouth in
great want and distress.
A new generation had come to the fore: that summer (Lord) Essex and (Walter)
Ralegh made their brilliant attack upon Cadiz, in which the city was
captured and of which the effect was to temporarily bankrupt King Philip of
(Soon however) with infinite labour and cost, in altogether more
unfavourable conditions, the indomitable, obstinate Philip was preparing
another great armada to reduce the heretic country. (England). In October
it set sail: the revenge for Cadiz. In England something similar to the
measures of 1588 (The date of the most well known of the Spanish Armadas --
there were several) was put into force. There was to be a royal army at the
centre around Queen Elizabeth I, to which Cornwwall and Devon were to
contribute 2000 men.
It was not necessary: the Protestant winds which saved us in 1588 repeated
their good work in 1596, no doubt to the perplexity of devout catholics. The
armada was struck by fierce gales off Finisterre; a number of fine galleons
were lost and hundreds of good fighting men.
Undismayed, like something termite in the habit of his mind, Philip went on
gathering what remained for another effort next year.
At Plymouth, Gorges (the military Governor) raised his garrison to 100, and
while under his supervision many more hundreds of pounds were spent upon the
fortifications of Plymouth Citadel The strain was being felt: notification
was given that there would not be sufficient out of the revenue of Devon and
Cornwall to meet his half-yearly charges, now amounting to £900.
Ralegh and Essex were fitting out another joint expedition at Plymouth, this
time for the Azores, to intercept the Plate fleet. Meanwhile information was
coming into the west country of the renewed preparations in Spanish
harbours: an armada of 100 sail. It was thought that, as in 1588, they
would be heading for Calais.
In the Azores, the English fleet of Ralegh and Essex just missed the Plate
treasure fleet bound for Spain: the narrowest escape King Philip had had.
Essex and Ralegh quarrelled bitterly, and, their fleet battered by the gales
of that summer and in no condition to fight, made for home.
Two days before they left, the Adelantado weighed anchor from Ferrol (Spain)
and with all his armada kept company Owith greatjoy¹ until within
twenty-five leagues from the Scilly Isles off Cornwall. Then it transpired
what his objective was: not Calais at all, but Falmouth. His instructions
were a new and elaborated version of the great Menendez¹s plan of the
seventies: to seize, fortify and garrison Pendennis Castle at Falmouth, then
take his fighting ships to the Scilly Isles, wait there, and destroy the
English ships returning from the Azores.
If successful in this, he was with the other half of his forces, some
10,000 men, to march eastward and capture Plymouth. It was an ambitious
plan, and some part of it might have achieved success. But again the
anti-Catholic, anti-Spanish winds of the Channel prevented it being put to
the test. It was October when the armada put out; it was within two days¹
sail of Land¹s End when the autumn gales struck it and forced it to turn
Ralegh and Essex on landing were shocked to learn how narrow had been their
and their country¹s escape.
The immediate consequence of it, when the objective of the armada was bit by
bit learned, was that the fortification of Pendenis Castle was undertaken in
real earnest. (Lord) Essex gave his opinion that it was not defensible as
it was against an army landed, and that an engineer should be employed to
make the ground better to resist fire. It was reported that the Adelantado
had meant to establish himself on the headland and turn it into an island by
cutting the narrow neck of the peninsula.
At the moment of danger, Ralegh had drawn 500 levies into Pendennis; it was
a great strain for a poor county. When it had passed Godolphin wrote him:
OOur country poor people do and will much repine at the burden of
maintaining these small forces, of 400 or 500 at Penryn for guard thereof,
which guard to the intended force is of ineffectual moment¹.
He suggested a further garrison to lie in readiness about Truro. OBut what
speak I of beggarly country aid against princes¹ royal armies, which cannot
but by our prince¹s purse and munition be resisted?¹
That put the gist of the matter in a sentence. The strain of defence, the
constant responding to calls on levies, maintaining them in service, was
becoming too much for Cornwall's resources; the English government would
have to come to the rescue. To its credit, it did. The 500 levies were
allowed to go home; in their place the government sent two companies of
professional (mercenary) soldiers from the Low Countries to Pendenis, and
three to Plymouth; and hard pressed as it was financially, it maintained
Regarding Ralegh -- His power so close to the English throne, and possession
of highest offices in Cornwall, (Lord Lieutenant, and Lord Warden of the
Stannaries) came to an end with the Queen¹s life. (Elizabeth I). Parker
published the proclamation of King James, Owhich with a general joy and
applause was then received and so continues¹. The accession of James meant
peace. To the war-weary, overburdened county of Cornwall, it must have come
as a blessed relief: the end of the fighting Elizabethan age.
End of extracts from A.L. Rowse's 'Tudor Cornwall'
There is another book that really captures the savour of these times. It is
a historical novel about the Killigrew family of Falmouth and the action is
set partly in Falmouth and partly in Spain. It is by Winston Graham (The
Poldark author), and is called 'Grove of Eagles'

On one hand you have to admire the Marlins for being so aggressive in going after players they want with a willingness to spend to get that player. On the other hand you have to wonder when that strategy will blow up in their face. Since their inception the Marlins have never been a good draw in Miami even when winning two World Series and developing exciting talent (Miguel Cabrera and Hanley Ramirez). Part of that can be attributed to the fire sales following their Championships because ownership said they couldn't afford the players. Part of it can be blamed on playing in a football stadium not really designed for baseball. So, is this new ballpark going to infuse them with the cash to spend $15-20 million on Reyes another possible $8-10 million on Buherle, and possibly still try to land Pujols or Fielder or some other marquee free agent this winter? They really must believe that their revenue stream is going fill their bank account and allow them to spend like the Red Sox, Yankees, and Phillies.
The question in my mind is will the new ballpark make such a huge impact on attendance? Likely they're hoping the new park combined with a marquee signing or two COMBINED will sell out their new park. Maybe it will. But maybe it won't. Who knows? Could it be that in Florida you need new state of the art ballparks to attract fans? It could be seeing as how poorly the Rays have drawn since 2008 even though they've been to the WS, and been to the playoffs 3 out of the 4 years. Or could it be that Floridians really don't care that much about baseball? I guess 2012 will be the test of that with the Marlins whether they sign Reyes or Pujols or both.

Practice Incentives Program (PIP) payments and calculations
PIP Guidelines
More information on the Practice Incentives Program Guidelines
Practice payments
The majority of payments made through the PIP are made to practices and focus on those aspects of general practice that contribute to quality care.
If a practice's PIP application is successful, the practice will receive its initial PIP payment in the first payment quarter after approval. The practice will receive subsequent quarterly payments, providing it continues to meet the eligibility criteria. Payments are made in February, May, August and November.
Medicare will automatically calculate entitlements for payments based on information received from the practice. This means it is important to inform Medicare of any changes in practice arrangements (more information is provided in Practice Changes).
Payments are made by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
Practices can spend their payment as they want, though the usual taxation rules apply. The PIP payment is intended to support the practice in purchasing additional equipment, upgrading its facilities or offering additional remuneration to doctors working at the practice. If a practice chooses to use the payment as an additional source of income for its doctors, the Australian Government strongly encourages its equitable organisation to distribute among doctors working at the practice. However, the Australian Government cannot be responsible for the business arrangements of individual practices.

†Whole Patient Equivalent (WPE)
Calculation of payments
PIP payments are generally based on a measure of the practice size known as the Standardised Whole Patient Equivalent (SWPE) value. The SWPE value is calculated using Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) claims by patients attending the practice during a historical 12 month period known as the reference period. The reference period is a rolling 12 month period that commences 16 months prior to the payment quarter. See Table 2.
Payments are calculated using Medicare and Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) data that are linked to the provider numbers specified on the practice's application form and any subsequent amendments provided to Medicare. If for example, you do not provide Medicare Australia with details of new GPs, you will not receive payment associated with the services provided by the new GPs. More information is provided in the Practice Changes section.
Data will be excluded if any of the GPs in a practice refuse consent to the use of their data for the purposes of calculating the practice's payment when completing the Individual GP details form. If GPs would like their data to be included at a later stage, they must advise Medicare in writing.
Calculating the SWPE value
The Standardised Whole Patient Equivalent (SWPE) value of a practice is the sum of the fractions of care provided to practice patients, weighted for the age and gender of each patient. As a guide, the average full-time GP has a SWPE value of around 1000 SWPEs annually. For more information on the calculation of payments and the SWPE value, refer to the PIP guidelines [PDF, 563Kb].
The total care for each patient equals one (1.0) and is known as the Whole Patient Equivalent (WPE). The WPE is based on GP and other non-referred consultation items in the MBS and uses the value rather than the number of consultations per patient.
Table 1 gives the values used in weighting WPEs for age and gender for November 2013. (Weightings are subject to quarterly adjustments).
Table 1
Weighting factors for age and gender of patients | ||||||||
Sex | Patient age (years) | |||||||
<1 | 1 - 4 | 5 - 14 | 15 - 24 | 25 - 44 | 45 - 64 | 65 - 74 | 75 + | |
Female | 0.5302 | 0.8327 | 0.5125 | 0.8256 | 1.0107 | 1.1103 | 1.516 | 2.2491 |
Male | 0.573 | 0.9039 | 0.5196 | 0.5338 | 0.6726 | 0.911 | 1.3665 | 2.0854 |
The values in the table above are calculated from consultations by age and gender, using Medicare and Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) data and are updated as required.
These weighted fractions of patient care are then added together, giving the SWPE value for the practice.
When payments are made
To qualify for payments, practices must be participating in the PIP and meet the eligibility requirements of the incentives at a 'point in time' date. The 'point in time' date is the last day of the month prior to the next PIP quarterly payment. The quarterly payment months, 'point in time' dates and reference periods are provided in table 2. For more information on when payments are made, refer to the PIP guidelines [PDF, 563Kb].
Table 2
Quarterly Payment Month | 'Point in time' assessment of eligibility | SWPE value reference period |
February | 31 January | 1 October to 30 September |
May | 30 April | 1 January to 31 December |
August | 31 July | 1 April to 31 March |
November | 31 October | 1 July to 30 June |
Appealing a Medicare decision
The PIP has an established appeals process. To request a review of a decision, your practice's authorised contact person or the owners of the practice must write to Medicare within 28 calendar days of the date on the notice of the decision they would like reviewed.
The request must include the following details:
- the name and address of the person requesting the review
- the name and PIP practice identification number of the practice
- the decision to be reviewed
- the grounds for requesting the review
Medicare will reassess its decision in accordance with the PIP eligibility requirements and/or payment formula used to make the original decision and advise the practice in writing of the outcome of the review.

Matt: Any thoughts of designing something like the Glen-L Power Yak?[/quote:c605eaf1bc]
We can do something like that. I'd say to make a few changes like having it so the motor doesn't have to go so deep. The shallow water fishermen would like that.
I bet the weight could be improved too.
Check out how this guy has his trolling motor mounted for foot pedal directional control and speed control on a rheostat:

Saturday, October 6, 2012
I got home too late to post something for yesterday, so this is October 5th's post. I had cooked dinner at a friend's place and we all watched "Cabin In The Woods" afterwards, and they all hated it (the movie - my cooking was a hit)! I don't understand, but I suppose I'm still a geek at heart. Well, had I not lived in hope that they would like it, I would have been home earlier. I ended up surfing through a few blogs and getting inspired by the very minimalist yet especially nuanced work of Kevin Wada. I just love how his characters have a very relaxed, real and yet fashionable air about them.

The activities of the principal associations participating in the Cooperator Program for solid wood products are summarized below:
American Forest & Paper Association
AF&PA's promotional philosophy is, as the umbrella organization for the wood products industry, it has the responsibility of undertaking general overseas promotion for all wood products. Once a presence for U.S. wood products has been established, the thrust of further market development is turned over to U.S. regional product associations. Individual companies and associations are encouraged to follow up on AF&PA's ground-breaking activities to try to establish overseas contacts and customers.
AF&PA conducts activities on issues that impact a large number of industry sectors and interests. Such issues include technical barriers to trade such as building codes and standards, fire and structural standards, systems design and application, test and certification standards, phytosanitary issues, and so on. This includes activities in Japan, the EU, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Mexico. AF&PA also works in markets that are new to the U.S. wood products industry and are not yet developed to the point where product-specific promotion is warranted, except on a niche by niche basis. AF&PA has overseas offices in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Mexico.
AF&PA's primary goal is to create market access for a wide range of value-added forest products by working in concert with or on behalf of other U.S. wood products associations on issues that affect a broad segment of the industry, or in new markets where regional and product specific marketing is not yet required. AF&PA works to enhance and support all other industry strategies, and works as a coordinating and liaison agent for these programs with FAS.
For further information contact AF&PA, 1111 19th Street, NW, Suite 800, Washington, DC 20036, Tel. (202) 463-2700, Fax. (202) 463-2785, or visit their web-site at: http://www.afandpa.org

The SEC coordinates overseas market development activities for the U.S. softwood industry with the Foreign Agricultural Service, and aids American exports of softwood products by providing information and assistance to agents, importers, designers, and users of these products in other countries. Through trade association and grading agency members, SEC represents softwood exporters of lumber, veneer, mouldings and millwork, and component products.

YOU'VE had plenty of petits fours and are ready to go home. You search the room for the waiter, ready to give that scribble through the air with your hand, signaling, ''The check, please.'' But you spot him and he's barreling toward your table with something in hand. He sets down a basket that is lined with a napkin folded like a tulip. It cradles a dozen or so shell shaped cakes called madeleines. You pop one in your mouth. It's warm and soft and its clear fragrance of lemon and vanilla awakens your tired palate. Unwittingly, three, four, five more make their way to your mouth.
You were at Daniel. Or was it Danube? Perhaps Eleven Madison Park. Virot? It could have been any of them. They all shower their diners with this touch.

Infatuation List: The Stylish Lesbian, Not an Oxymoron
June 24, 2011
Stereotypes are commonly used because somewhere along the way they were believed by the majority, but as time ticks by, it's clear that some fashion pigeon-holes are in need of a make-over. Lesbian style (or the supposed lack of) is one of those tired clichés that is ready to be put to rest.
I am not saying that all gay women dress well, in fact I am sure you know someone that firmly supports the misconception by wearing a men's suit so ill-fitted and outdated that it looks as though they stole it from their father's closet in the early 80′s. But that's no reason to believe that all lesbians have the same sartorial appetite. After all, we don't declare that straight women dress poorly just because we know someone who still wears jeans that only the mid-90′s can appreciate or terry-cloth zip hoodies?
Looking around, in both real life and through the Hollywood looking glass, it's apparent that fashion is not a foreign language to most girl-loving girls . Using celebrities as a case illustration, these five stylish lesbians prove that in the gay community, fashion is not just a boys club.
JENNY SHIMIZU – Model & Reality Show Judge
Jenny rocks a high fashion androgynous look that has reportedly been known to turn the heads of a-list straight girls. Her look is so timeless, that even pictures a decade old look relevant to our contemporary sense of fashion. The key to Jenny's style is investing in high quality staples and paying the utmost attention to the fit and tailoring of each garment.
AMBER HEARD – Actress
Amber has all the qualities of a Hollywood 'It' girl with sex appeal that rises up to all mainstream standards of style, yet she seems to add a sophisticated element of 'being comfortable in her own skin', which others often seem to lack on the red carpet. The key to Amber's style is to seek inspiration from the latest in fashion without letting the trends take over your whole look.
ELLEN DEGENERES – Comedian & Talk Show Host
Ellen made a few fashion missteps early in the limelight, but anyone can agree that she has found her sartorial stride reinventing classic menswear into a look that's all her own – no one has ever made sweater vests looks so good. The key to Ellen's style is to play with a variety of traditional menswear elements, like vests, sweaters and blazers with her signature cropped trousers.
PORTIA DE ROSSI – Actress & Author
Portia manages to strike the perfect balance of style through a girly tomboy interpretation of cool California classics. The key to Portia's style is all about mixing the right elements to find combinations that hone in on your comfort zone while maintaining aesthetic self-expression. It's the kind of covet-able personal style that takes relaxed confidence (and sometimes years of practice) to achieve.
SAMANTHA RONSON – Singer / Songwriter & DJ
Samantha's look clearly defines her as 'one of the cool kids' by tapping into that 'I don't care; I don't try' fashion sense that ironically makes her an ideal style muse for girls and boys alike. The key to Samantha's style is finding all the right perfectly lived-in basics like vintage t-shirts, cozy beanies, striped sweaters, skinny jeans and paring it all with a killer pair of kicks.
These 5 women are evidence that 'Stylish Lesbian' is not an oxymoron. Not only do they have way more style than cliché jokes want us to believe, but they vary so widely in aesthetics that it would be hard to even smack a label on what lesbian fashion sense is right now. If pressed to define it, the one thread that runs through all of them, is the ability to effortlessly make comfort a fashion priority without sacrificing any amount of individual style savvy.
What other fashion stereotypes or style clichés are in desperate need of a little updating?

Most Useless Mascara Ever!
I made the mistake of buying this mascara once and I knew I was in trouble as soon as I saw the brush. I stupidly thought I should at least give it (the mascara/brush) a chance. BAD idea! It only took two strokes and I remembered that old saying, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." I should've known better when I saw the brush. Next time I'll pay attention when the little dummy meter starts pinging. jcr1154
