Homecoming DressesSome look at homecoming as a dry run to prom -- the highlight of your social calendar --- using the homecoming dress as a prelude to the prom dress, so why not set the bar high? A homecoming dress should be trendy and fashionable. You shouldn't be afraid to take risks with your homecoming dress and you should definitely start shopping early. Because so many other girls will be shopping at the same time, getting an early start will ensure you get the homecoming dress of your dreams.
Dresses for Homecoming When it comes to dresses for homecoming many find it can be a fun, but stressful time trying to find the perfect dress. You have to remember that dresses for homecoming could literally be the difference between an enjoyable party, or an amazing party that includes being crowned homecoming queen. All girls see the homecoming party as the pinnacle of the school calendar and choosing dresses for homecoming is an integral part of the exciting run up to the homecoming. Choosing Dresses for Homecoming Even before you have chosen your date for the homecoming it is important to start looking for killer dresses for homecoming, start checking out those all important fashion magazines and high quality stores to see what dresses for homecoming are available and what is in fashion at the time. Celebrity red carpet events are also a great place to look for dresses for homecoming by watching on television or looking in magazines to see what styles and colors are available, you can then take a picture with you to the local boutiques and see if they have or can create something similar from the dresses for homecoming available. Finding the right color for your dresses for homecoming When you have finally shortlisted a small number of dresses for homecoming its time to find the right color for the dress and your skin tone. It is important to find a color that will not only accentuate the style of the shortlisted dresses for homecoming but also works well with your skin tone to really bring out your natural radiance. The best way to achieve finding the right dress color for the dresses for homecoming you have chosen is to literally spend a good few hours trying every color of each one on to see what looks best, you can even take a photo of each to look at later one so you can be sure to shortlist the right dresses for homecoming for your big evening. Color Choices Showing school spirit is what homecoming is all about. You can choose your dress to reflect your school colors. This is the perfect way to show your support for your school and look great. In some cases the school colors may be a bit hard to match, but you can still wear your school colors by simply adding a sash around your waste that is identical to your school colors. Time to accessorize those dresses for homecoming! When you have finally chosen the perfect dress its time to look for those all important accessories and shoes, after all you want that classy dress finished off to perfection. Firstly you need to choose those dazzling shoes that will be as eye catching as your dress, for the shoes you need to ensure the color and style of the shoes will really add to the dress, not take anything away. You may want strappy shoes, a heel, even some sparkle which is great but it does have to be in keeping with the style and cut of the dress. After the shoes the handbag is an all important accessory, for the handbag go for something elegant and small. With dresses for homecoming it is always a good option to go for something like a clutch handbag with the body of the handbag in a similar color to your dress or shoes and the clasp in the color of your jewelry. Jewelry is next as jewelry really adds those all important finishing touches to make you look like a masterpiece in elegant design and fashion. With jewelry don't go for anything too overpowering, less is more, try a stylish bracelet, some beautiful earrings and an elegant necklace. Again the jewelry needs to add to the overall look you are going for so don't go over the top and make your look jewelry overkill. Dresses for homecoming top tips
Dresses for homecoming and the Homecoming Party With prints ranging from floral to zebra and an endless variety of styles, it can be frustrating trying to find the best homecoming dress. The simplest method in choosing a homecoming dress is to go with one that matches your school colors. If you are attending the dance for another school, you should find out what their colors are and buy a homecoming dress to match them. Shopping for a homecoming dress doesn't have to be hard as long as you know how to easily narrow down the wide array of choices. There are no products matching the selection. |

It´s been true for a while. People are very behind the times. The husbands and boyfriends still tend to push for bigger families, but the wives/girlfriend´s are "forget it."Hah.
Any studies of muslim women having children? After all, the plan is to grow in numbers until they have the upper hand and can take over a country.
It´s remarkable how little most people know about evaluating data. Of course immigrant women´s fertility rate is dropping faster than non-immigrant women. Non-immigrant non-white women, especially whites, have been below replacement rates for years. They can´t drop lower. Latino women are dropping from five to four. That´s a big drop, but that´s still a big batch of babies.
Don´t agree, at least not where I live. The more kids, the bigger the check.
The Desperate Housewives effect. Now even our immigrants have an entitlement mentality. Thank you, Hollywood.
I´d hardly call my husband´s and my decision to have three children rather than six a matter of "entitlement." Or anyone else´s business.
Even the Catholic church is losing their grip on immigrants. "Immigrants" also include prosperous Indians and Chinese.

LinuxMCE community, lets talk.
November 09, 2012, 04:59:49 am »
Hey, whats up everyone. Its your fave slightly off kilter dev langstonius. Im posting this topic not to complain or yell. Don't worry, i'm not gonna, _do_ what everyone thinks im gonna _do_ , i'm not gonna flip out...
But seriously, the point of this thread it to get some honest opinions about how you use LinuxMCE, what you wish it did, where you see it going. Me, well, as you can see i've doubled down on LinuxMCE. As I like to say, its a star-ship os, waiting for the star-ship. But what about you? Because, in a weird way, I do work for you. No I dont want money, but as a dev, we kinda take on the responsibility of making stuff work (albeit sometimes very badly). But the reason I ask these questions is because I want to make LinuxMCE better. Period. The best it can possibly be. But we are in a unique situation. Every persons home is their castle. And LinuxMCE is the life in that castle. And we all have very different castles. So, shaky metaphor aside, I need perspective from the people I 'work' for. So lets talk. And please, if there is something you dont like, just be respectful about discussing it.
that being said,
whats the good word?
Those people who tell you not to take chances, they are all missing what life's all about.

Hi golgoj4,
Haven't been active lately in the community and didn't get all the latest updates of your and others work. But what I always missed from Linuxmce is overview for the user.
You really have to dig in for simple stuff. I think the linuxmce admin site needs a big overhaul.
e.g. how can we easily update the Core? And will the MD's be automated accordingly? And how do I check if I have the latest version through the admin?
This is just what comes to mind now. I do not feel in control of my linuxmce box, due lack of knowledge of linux, due to being an impatient user, due to being a stupid user.

similiar to bongowongo, i would sugest to make things easy.
When i was starting with lmce some years ago, i was astonished, on how easy things are.
As a user, who had never had any expierence with lmce - expect isntalling an distitribution for testing and troughing away again.
Installation went quite easy and the AV Wizard guided me, same did - what was her name? Liza?
anyhow, but then .... the problems begun....with some ugly hardware....
I had to edit here a file and change a config file there and reboot and put in a fix.
I understand, that there is a massive amount of hardwarepieces, if e.g. we just take mainboards, so many vendors, chipsets and combination of hardware, and having a compatibility list, does not make sense - becuase the product life cycle is very short in the retail.
what i am trying to say is, that there must be a way, to give a kind of gurantee that s.th. is working oob - than supporting more and more hardware pieces.
Break things down...what is working and what is working with problems.
Can mean, that some advanced functions should be deactivated, as long as , it is not needed by user.
I find the way of dianemo quite smart...."everything" is integrated, but not activated by default.
Giving an example, is that my Allnet PoE Switch is always recognised as an D-Link IP Camera. For me, as i know the background, its not a problem, but the Enduser - he who uses the system daily, its so confusing.
in theory, everything is so easy with lmce - and was developed with this in the "back head" - like lmce says "be patient" - but i believe we're drifting more and more away from this point. For example - Zwave should be easy to install - but in fact it is not. User has to crawl through forum, wikis, take a look at log files and so on. Who wants to do this?
What i am trying to say is, we should spent more time in making the system more friendly from a top-down perspective. Having a system with music, video and tv up and running in 1 hour - stable.
Lmce is THE home automation system, but to be successful, we need to make it more friendly. I do not mean, that it has to be "super" easy to isntall, but i believe that even sometimes an installer - who has IT background - can be frustrated if things are working the one day and the other day not.
like bongowongo says, i do not see exactly, whats going on. So, to find a reason i have to dig really deep, and i believe that most system integrators do that one time, but not a second time.

I want LinuxMCE to run my house by controlling electrical equipment in the house. I want LinuxMCE to store all my media and provide me a pleasing media playback environment. I want LinuxMCE to show me pics of people coming to my front door no matter where I am. And I want LinuxMCE to be controllable to whatever device I happen to have. I am still not sure about telecom.

Whoa, space sci-fi metaphor and medieval castle metaphor in one paragraph!
1) A UI that's sexy and snappy. Snappy in and of itself and also network communications that are efficient so as to not cause the UI to lag.
2) NFC-based control events for orbiter, and/or integration between Tasker (android app) and LMCE
3) Don't have a vid camera yet, but I'm slightly discouraged from getting one due to LMCE only supporting single-frame (jpg) communication. If we had encoding and streaming capability, and once our mobile data networks are up to par (speed and reasonable data caps), this would be a deal-maker.
4) An improved advanced scenarios editor, allowing more versatile automation programming. See here:
5) Support for NVidia GT4xx cards
6) Support for encrypted Zwave comm.
That's a lot to ask, but keep in mind it's mostly icing on the cake type stuff.

Oh, one note: *My* LinuxMCE system is already working with most of the stuff that I want. But, one thing is for sure: You can not create a home automation system that will be up and running in an hour and be complete. You can have a system up and running that allows you to START setting things up. Thanks for L3mce's work with DVD installer that already is here. What's missing, is better (ab)use of Sarah, i.e. more menu driven setup routines.

Of course we all want a stable, working system and we are getting there, but I do miss a few things too:
Security- basically there is one user, who can make changes to configuration and such, but what keeps a person/visitor/naughty child to put that said user on the orbiter start changing settings and perhaps fucking up the system
Telecom- we have usermailbox and a general mailbox- while accessing the usermailbox is nice and easily accessible, generalmailbox is not- currently you can only use it through the webadmin. Since our callers usually don't care who of us they get on the line, as long as they do get someone, they will also just leave a message on the generealmailbox, except they would have to say something "confidential"
TV- so we have right now VDR and Mythtv available- one being barely integrated, the other one being integrated rather well. I don't know about you guys, but right now mythtv is a crashprone mess. Of course I could just change to vdr and lose some of the amenities of the integration and perhaps gain some stability, but I'm loth to do that. I'd rather see Linuxmce have one very well integrated tv-solution that is stable. I don't care, if its vdr, mythtv or something else
DLNA-Devices- with more and more smart-TVs and network-utilising devices (e.g. AV-equipment) coming on the market, I think it would be a good thing to be able to exploit those. I can imagine people being very confused while having a smart-tv, why an MD would still be needed. Perhaps Qorbiter could be the answer to that question- but I'm shooting in the dark here, since I'm no programmer.

LinuxMCE is a part of my life.
I learn from it every day. It shapes the way I think. I am addicted to it more than anything else really... I don't really care if it runs my house. I don't care one bit about the benefits of the system itself. I just want it to work, work reliably, on as much hardware as it can reasonably be made to work on. That is really it. It is always there, it always needs work, it is the nastiest hydra I have ever seen... and I still don't know if I have done more harm or good to it... but I know it will be closer to the goal I just stated when I am done or I will die trying.
I don't really have any personal aspirations born of LinuxMCE.
I just want it to exist, with the stability we attribute to household appliances.
I wan't George W. Bush to be able to install and operate it... and I want Steven Hawking to say "that's brilliant" in his robot voice when looking at the architecture.
I never quit... I just ping out.

there is still a lot of things to learn and explore for me ... and i'm still a LinuxMCE trainee i guess ;-)
I like the way it works and the features it offers. To me, the install process has never been as easy as today .... great job!
What it does for me:
- LiveTV
- play audio & video
- watch pictures
- door camera (EasyN IP Camera)
- Airprint
- Airplay
- recording TV shows
- Radio
What i want to have or improve:
- a stable running system.
- a rock solid GUI for qOrbiter. My Mom should be able to understand and play with it in minutes.... Don't care about George W.
- I want MythTV to work rock solid! For me the most annoying thing. Radomly throwing errors like "irrecoverable recorder error", "Frame buffering something failed" or quit unexpected while switch between channels.
- Improve the lmce-admin. Currently i had no time to dig in deeper how lmce-admin is done, but i guess it needs to be completely rewritten to get a better user experience.
- my flatmate to be a more helpful in reporting issues.
I saw so many improvements for me over the past year. I'm really looking forward to the next year(s) ...

A quick note on web admin (and I do not want to start a discussion about it. If you want, open another thread): The notion to re-write web admin comes up every now and then. What people fail to realize is, how GREAT web admins architecture is. The problem are missing wizard pages, better organized wizard pages.
If I helped you, feel free to buy me a coffee:

The biggest enhancements I am waiting for before I roll LMCE out at my pad, is to have the stability and a UI so smooth and easy to use that even my technophobic grandmother and technologically challenged father can use the system without needing guidance.
Needless to say, qOrbiter is a huge step in the right direction for that, so a big thanks for that amazing work.
On my end, I am still struggling with adding device templates for our IR remotes, but I got some advice on IRC not long ago that I will try the next time around.

For Christmas this year (or next) I want Linuxmce to give me:
1. One Android app on my phone that allows me to use everything that Linuxmce has to offer securely and remotely (latency permitting). Eg; view security footage, Make a SIP call, view files, etc.. Possibly like a background service?
2. I would also like to have a complete live backup option; 1 that backups up root, data/media, and the database to a baremetal recovery without having to turn it off and have down time while it pushes data over the network/external drive.
3. qOrbiters on MD's please.

OK what do I use LMCE for:
I'm right now building my house and therefor I will use the lmce system I'm building up now. Also I'm using one MD right now in my flat for live tv and movies kind of productively.
I'll use Live TV, audio, video, internetradio, X10 for lights,blinds and IR sensors for security triggering, IP cameras at door and garden, 1wire for temperature sensors (does not work anymore for me right now...), 2-3 audio zones using squeezeslaves(having trouble with my usb soundcards), tablets for orbiter and some other homeautomation things. Also I'm serving internet and telecom to my parents, sisters and brothers houses (may be extended to more lmce functionalizies later).
All that packed into a 19" Intel server with TBS quad TV cards, loads of RAID diskspace, interfaces and a touchscreen which is wired down to the core - so all kind of a bigger installation.
Now, what can be made more userfriendly:
like posde said, it would be a big benefit if we could make the Installer wizard more useful.
Right now, I personally use it for adding users and rooms, and for selecting VDR or mythtv - nearly all other steps are useless atm (to me).
So, if you add hardware and the installer wizard would guide you through the installation -> this would be userfriendly.
Also the design of that wizard is kind of outdated, a more modern design would be cool (i hate the blue background).
Some months ago I started building up a 3D model of a humans head being animated which could some day MAYBE replace Sarah in a more modern way. But right now I'm missing the time to work on that but I will keep on...
Other than that, wouldn't it be helpful if a wiki (or whatever) can be put together containing hardware which is really (I mean REALLY) plug and play?
ok, this was my point of view. I just love the flexibility and the whole concept of lmce and want to thank all devs for their great work and am looking forward to lmce's future!

greenwood ctc adds accessibility for seniors
Since 2000, the Phinney Neighborhood Association PNA has maintained a Community Technology Center (CTC) for residents of Seattle�s north end neighborhoods. Located in the Greenwood Senior Center, the PNA CTC has nine teaching stations and two community access stations. They offer a variety of volunteer-taught classes and workshops, including basic computer classes designed for older adults and taught by seniors, and a course providing basic computer skills to Spanish-speaking English language learners and a Technology For Seniors: Your Cell Phone Demystified class. Until recently, however, the CTC was not able to adequately serve seniors with low vision, limited upper extremity coordination and people who use certain wheelchairs. To remedy this, they secured funds from the Technology Matching Fund program in 2009 to improve the accessibility of the computer lab. The CTC is now equipped with adjustable height tables and new chairs to make it a safer environment for older and/or disabled adults who have difficulty getting in and out of rolling chairs. Other improvements include a large key keyboard and Orbit trackball to enable users with impaired motor control to use the computers. Pocket talker devices are also available to amplify sound for users who have difficulty hearing. For more information, contact Norah Erwin Stewart or visit their Facebook Page: CTC at Greenwood Senior Center. seattle communities online project now online!
Neighborhood groups now have a place where they can go to get information to actively engage their community members using online tools. The new Seattle Communities Online portal includes features like �Neighborhoods on the Net�, which is a list of blogs, wikis, websites, Facebook pages, and Twitter feeds associated with specific communities and neighborhoods in Seattle. The project also helps Seattle�s community groups use social media tools for mobilizing their neighborhoods. Amy Hirotaka, UW Evans School of Public Affairs intern, has created curriculum and gathered several resources on how to effectively use tools such as blogs and wikis to encourage community participation. Amy has put together a short, six question survey to quickly assess your group's needs. Please contact Amy and she would be happy to answer any questions or schedule a workshop for your neighborhood group. new pew e-gov survey"Some 40 percent of adult Internet users have gone online for raw data about government spending and activities." For more about how Americans are going online to access government, see the new Government Online report by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. The report also found that almost a third (31 percent) of online adults have used social tools such as blogs, social networking sites, and online video as well as email and text alerts to keep informed about government activities. s.e.c.u.r.i.t.ybbb phishing scam Scammers are taking the Better Business Bureau's (BBB) name in vain, in yet another version of the phishing scam, according to the agency's Pacific Northwest office. The scammers are sending out fake complaint notices to businesses that purport to be from the BBB. The emails use the return address of firstname.lastname@example.com and the subject line refers to a "BBB Complaint Case" followed by a nine-digit number. The emails claim that the company receiving the "notice" has not responded to a complaint, the real BBB says. The emails ask companies to "click and download" the complaint. If someone at the company does this, their computer is infected with a virus, according to the BBB. "We believe this virus hacked into each computer, stealing personal information like passwords, access to personal email accounts, etc.," said the vice president of marketing for the regional BBB. The BBB for Oregon, western Washington and Alaska says that these notices have been sent to both businesses that are accredited by the BBB and those that are not. We have seen similar scams from the IRS, DHS, etc. It is very unlikely that any of these organizations would ever contact someone via email.

Getting Started with Online Conferencing and Seminar Tools When you have a domain, for example, mydomain.com, there are several things you need to be aware of when managing it. On your domain you can manage multiple servers with sub names like server1.mydomain.com and server2.mydomain.com. You can host your own website like http://www.mydomain.com and have email addresses such as email@example.com. All of this requires knowledge of what you want your domain to manage. Most small organizations only use one server to manage all of their domain needs; however larger organizations, such as seattle.gov, need multiple servers. The City of Seattle has more than 300 servers managing different parts of their domain. The first thing you need to do in managing a domain is to pick a domain name. It is normally good to pick a name that references your organization or needs, such as seattle.gov for the City of Seattle. Then you need to pick what you want your domain to manage: your email, servers, web site, etc. You can have one server manage multiple domains, services, and sub domains. Here is a link to help you pick a good registrar. Next you need to find a hosting provider that can provide all the services you need. Make sure the provider offers some sort of guarantee of its services outside of your immediate needs; it would not be good if they offer you web services but your website will be down for two weeks out of the year. Tech Soup offers information on hosting providers. In my opinion, it is better to register your domain separately from your hosting provider. You might save money and you would still have greater control should you decide to fire your hosting provider for bad service. Agree or disagree with me?

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Tips for caregivers facing painful decisions
By Angela Lunde
52 comments posted
I'm so pleased to read your posts and see how much caring, understanding, and unconditional support penetrates through this online community of friends.
I want to make a quick plug for any of you who can make a trip to St. Paul. Mayo Clinic and the Alzheimer's Association will host a conference called "Meeting of the Minds" on Saturday, March 19.
The conference for families and friends of those with dementia, healthcare professionals, as well as persons with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia is one of the largest in the country.
A link to the brochure and on-line registration can be found in the Resources tab above. If any of you do attend, please introduce yourself to me. What a treat it would be to meet you face to face!
A couple weeks ago, Richard and Dan posted on the blog. They each spoke about the painful decision they recently made to move their wife to a care facility. In their own way, they each wrote about how they've found peace within themselves to not only accept the reality of this progressive disease, but to humbly accept their limitations as a caregiver. As Dan shared, "When it gets too much ... you have to give in to get the best for the affected. Now I will be able to visit, and (truly) enjoy the time."
And then there is Andrea, who is caring for her mom at home. She seems well aware of the sacrifices she's taking on in so many ways. Yet, she continues the journey and finds a small sense of renewal when she and her mom share a laugh — a reminder that there is still a connection.
Similar to the decision to use medications in dementia, the decision to care for someone at home or move them to a care facility is incredibly personal — neither choice fits every situation. For some, there's no choice. But one thing's generally true; caregivers endure painful decisions and feel guilty no matter what.
Whether you're caring for someone at home, or have moved them to a care facility, here are 5 simple messages that may serve you from time to time:
- Learn to separate what you can and can't control — many things are simply out of your hands.
- Do all you can and then let it go.
- Make a decision and don't look back — believe you made the best decision you could at the time.
- Forgive yourself.
- Remember, we feel guilty because we love.
"Care-providing presents us with the challenge of a lifetime, and the hardest task many of us will ever face. But the extraordinary circumstances in which it places us are also opportunities to open up new frontiers in human development and understanding."
— Lela Knox Shanks, author of "Your Name is Hughes Hannibal Shanks — A Caregiver's Guide to Alzheimer's"

HDRO Conference Room
4 February 2009
Time: 12.30- 2.00 p.m.
Going against popular ideas that development will reduce South-North migration, transitional migration theory and the related hypothesis of the "migration hump" predict that constraints-loosening and aspirations-increasing socio-economic development tends to have an inverted U-curve effect on net emigration. This hypothesised non-linearity of development-migration linkages contrasts with neoclassical and push-pull models and their derived policy recipes to "combat" migration through bolstering development in emigration countries. However, no empirical tests have been put forward to formally test this hypothesis for contemporary world migration. This paper aims to perform such a test by measuring the effect of various development indicators on immigration, emigration and net migration.
About the Speaker
Hein de Haas is a Senior Research Officer at the International Migration Institute (www.imi.ox.ac.uk) of the University of Oxford. He has a PhD in social sciences and an MA (cum laude) in human and environmental geography. He previously held lecturer and researcher positions at the University of Nijmegen and the University of Amsterdam and was a visiting fellow at the American University in Cairo. His research focuses on the linkages between migration and broader development processes, primarily from the perspective of migrant-sending societies. He did extensive fieldwork in the Middle East and North Africa and, particularly, Morocco. His current research interests include: migration and development, remittances, transnationalism, migration determinants, migration transitions and regular and irregular migration from sub-Saharan Africa to North Africa and Europe.

Society has these imaginary forces that constantly duel for dominance and continue to keep everything in motion – good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, etc. The issue with these forces is that the vast majority of members of commercial societies participate actively while remaining relatively oblivious to the "gears and motors" that turn our world.
I had the opportunity to watch MTV's Video Music Awards tonight with intentions of enjoying yet another tribute to Michael Jackson and watching another highly anticipated performance by my favorite artist, Jay Z. Little did I know in the beginning that all of my intentions would be easily eclipsed by this:
I'm sure by now that it is common knowledge in the world of Pop that Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during her VMA acceptance speech to downplay her reception of the award and to acknowledge the artist that he truly felt deserved the award. His actions were greeted by immediate disapproval in the form of "boos" and other jeers, character assassination via Facebook, Twiiter and many other social networking sites and ejection from the venue. I must say that I agree Kanye's timing was horrible and his actions seemed quite immature, but I couldn't help but wonder why this elicited such the reaction that it received.
From birth, we are all socialized to become the people that we are and a part of that socialization includes the inherent learned knowledge of right vs wrong and good vs evil. Whether from your family, schools, television or even the internet, these leanings take root as a part of our personality. This then means that when an event like the one at VMA's presents itself, it strikes a chord with our sense of morality and we instantaneously choose sides. This does not come without consequence in that we begin to attack or judge the character of the person or idea that opposes our grasp of what is right. So why is this an issue?
Let's consider this. In the midst of all of the name calling, and disgust in Kanye's actions, did anyone take a moment to analyze why he felt the need to do what he did? Did anyone consider the totality of the person that is Kanye West (the artist, unless you know him personally) and understand how this plays into the whole scenario? Can we distinguish how he acted from his intentions? A true follower of Kanye West fully understands that he is a very artistic, hip hop fundamentalist. When I say this, I mean that he is a product of and a current driving force of the culture and it's important to note that within the last few years, we have seen hip hop rise to dominance as an influence on pop culture. Being a fundamentalist of the culture would then encourage a desire to see the art maintain its integrity and purity.
We also have to consider that MTV has one of the biggest influences on pop culture in America. When MTV bestows an award on an individual or piece of work, this gesture has the power to subconsciously program millions of people and manipulate the destinies of many people. So we now find a purveyor of his culture taking an inopportune moment to salvage what he felt should have been right in the eyes of the masses. He didn't seek to take the award from Taylor Swift, but he wanted to acknowledge that another video should recognized as one of most important videos of the century (thus far). I'm not much of a Beyonce fan, but the "Single Ladies" video crossed so many lines and affected more people than many other videos in recent history. It's important to note here that past awards shows have seen Kanye express his disappointment for not winning awards that he thought he deserved (a few I've agreed with) and giving away awards that he thought he didn't deserve (Outkast/UGK).
I've heard so many people call Kanye an "idiot" or a "nut" and talk about how wrong he was, but it seems that this only extends to what he did. Did his opinion actually have merit? I saw so many Twitter and Facebook updates that attacked and judged him, but there was no real discussion on the idea he established. This all just reinforces my opinion that the masses in Pop culture tend to generally have no opinion of their own that can be soundly backed by logic and reason. They tend to just sway with whatever the big machine (MTV, radio, etc) tells us is hot. Many great artists never see great success because they can't afford it (remember the recent radio payola lawsuits) or we collectively don't demand anything different. Kanye stood up for what he believed. Kanye Goes Hard… And I'm Rolling With Him.

Hi Folks,
Ever run across a piece of software so helpful that ya just have to share?
Among the items on my someday/maybe list was "revamp hard drive for better overall organization". Once accomplished, I slowly realized that I was repeatedly shooting myself in the foot, courtesy of Win's blasted click-happiness, in terms of maneuvering to a desired folder. Determined, I went on the prowl and discovered a $20 goodie, called FileEx:
http://www.cottonwoodsw.com/ Fully featured trial available.
The screenshots you'll see at the site suggests complexity, but I promise you, once installed, it's profoundly intuitive, easy, and yes, fun to use. It's proven to be THE "killer app" in terms of MAINTAINING my e-org scheme. Hence, this FYI post.

Waiting for the pixcel collection
Waiting for the pixcel collection
Struggling a bit with slow uploads and my Hp/ compaq repeating exactly the same issues as the first one and periodically losing its screen...
Cape Brett on the way up the coast..
We stayed overnight in deep water cove and next day into the BOI.. greeted by an old friend in Albert passage ( a very narrow pass ) out sailing in his old int moth..
broody kind of weather for nye
The next day we headed off the 20 miles or so for the cavalli Islands...very light and hot now..
hooked up that second Steve I was talking about .. no pics except my new tld25 and rod showing they were up to it although on full brake and fizzing
And into horseshoe bay for foursies and the night .. almost a roadstead with 12 knots or so across the deck.
oooo yeah...nice place.

The Cavallis... what a place.. not big but just so sweet.
The stripper has been doing sterling duty again this year as you see previous photo.. lurking on the beach and a bit of adventuring as well.
Plus a bit of relaxed time as well..
and not so relaxed
"Old boats are like teenage girlfriends: there is a certain urgency to their needs & one neglects them at one's peril"
Well, it's about time you posted some picies there John. You're obviously having far too much of a good time. The stripper is cranking, you need to up the anti and get her out in a good 25 knt breeze she'd be fair humming.
Is that cave in the Cavalli's?
Snowing here today but this thread reminds me why we like it. Lovely place you have there, gentlemen.
You got a stripper on board? Cool.
The boys 'camped' ashore last night.. ie stayed in a tent with no cooking etc and then took off in the stripper this am for a sail across to the next destination in the BOI. We anchored in between a couple of the islands in about ooo 12 to 15 and I sailed it single handed two rigs up. A bit of an ignominious start when it took charge and I took off at 10 knots or so for the beach.. but after a steep learning curve I got a bit of a handle on it. It needs full stack out on a reach powered up and sings along flat wake no problemo. When the breeze came up I just broad reached back and forth across the bay working down to leeward and then beached it, dropped the rigs out and put one back in for the sail back up to windward where the boats were anchored... a lot of fun but really hard to handle with quite a few near misses when the wind dropped. No can out but a bit of a swamp/ broachy thingy thing went on for a while there. Never mind....the cramp ,the general ache in these ole bones was worth it.
The weather is settled now for a week or so and we're just late starting and bay to bay within the islands for a few days or so.
The cave is in one of the eastern ( outlying) rocks off the cavallis Steve.

Whangaroa was OK.... always a dramatic looking place but we dipped in there from the cavallis when the weather threatened so it was only really nice for a day in there..
Soren larsen...
and then off motor sailing back from there the 30 .. 35 miles back to the BOI
weird fish on the way red snapper
Toms 2 ft long snapper from a few days before. Great fight on the light soft bait gear
and the sweetest little schooner Ludique arriving in Russell for the tall ships/ classic race.

[QUOTE=John B;2841659]Whangaroa was OK.... always a dramatic looking place but we dipped in there from the cavallis when the weather threatened so it was only really nice for a day in there..
Soren larsen...
Great pic John - all thats missing is Hongi Hika paddling out to greet them.........

Lovely to look at all this when the achey shacky of my bones has only been skating on rough ice today being smothered under a foot of snow, so there may be no more skating. Thanks.
Keeping an eye out for this little puppy John. Heading up to Kawau on the 20th to grid Ngatira for a scrub and touch up antifoul. Thought this cyclone might hamper proceedings but now looks like it's going to peter out as have most of the other nasties.
JB, the Soren Larsen was parked under the Dukes Nose for the night. We were anchored just across the other side of the bay and took similar pix.
The previous day, we were heading out through the heads for a tiki-tour, against a wallowing swell bumped up by out-going tide, when the SL came in..... at the same time as a pod of 4 or 5 Orcas ..... it got a bit crowded and very lumpy and we had a bit on for a while, so sadly no decent photos.
Enjoying this
The "strange fish" is a nannygai.
Or a red snapper here in new zild. Parked next to one of the queens of the charter fleet tonight Gareth.. those 70 ft van de stadt boats ( I forget the name of the class).Gloria .
Yeah Steve .. watching that ex TC vania but expecting hoping it'll wash out as you say.
Robin .. we had orca in Whangaroa one morning and one of the boats rang the orca lady. The day after in Paihia pickin up passengers we had the same pod arrive . the tourist boat behaviour was absolutely obscene I have to say . Big boats .. they harrased , corralled and hounded those poor things beyond belief.Just disgusting.
We ended up cruising around the bay and stopping and they arrived on us again.. great to see them hunting the stingray . one juvenile beached herself and had to be given a shove off .
Anyway , enough of the distasteful side of boating in the BOI.. we just had a fantastic day starting with breakfast on the spit by ourselves. Gregs( Salumeria fontana) spicy sicilian sausages with sweet chilli sauce on bread and line honours rum an orange yahhhhh. Sailed the stripper today as a sloop and a schooner ( which is a first.) a little bit of helm change from perfect to slightly more weather helm but a hell of a lot easier to sail due to the bigger rig having more gooseneck height.

Ludique again
a hot rodded Spencer
Shortly after our start ( which was 10 minutes behind the classics fleet)
The big spencer schooner

Imagine my glee when I read the sailing instructions ... No spinnakers, no specialsed downwind sails, sails must be hanked yadayada mizzen staysails may be flown hahahahahahaha.
Coming up to the ninepin.. second boat around
Russell boat club
and in the money
second boat across the line whole fleet and line honours ours.. boat in front started 10 minutes before us .
Congratulations, Well done!
There is nothing quite as permanent as a good temporary repair.
Yahoo - good boy. No doubt the cannon was used to announce the win? Liking the "Don Johnson' look
"Old boats are like teenage girlfriends: there is a certain urgency to their needs & one neglects them at one's peril"
Congrats indeed John!!! Yippee!!!! Oh ,and just saying, that verdi gris around the cannons' mouth makes her look like she hasn't been fired all too often. Goin' deaf from the thunder are we?
Do it,do it,do it,do it,do it,do it,do it,now!
This boat was built with ten thumbs.No fingers were harmed in anyway.
Well done John and family. Do we need to watch you closely at Mahurangi?
JB - We were out there too. I took pix of Scout, Aorere and Vim up the head of the fleet over towards the black rocks in very light airs..
I saw the sea breeze come in and a dark hulled two master on the other side of the bay caught it dirst and took off - I assume that was you guys????
Nice one John, congrats. Looks like champaign racing and a Mark Foy start to boot.
Might I interest you in another Friday race in the CYA regatta coming up? Still waiting on the gaff jaws to be cast but hoping they will be done for the racing.
Steve, as a trophy winning skipper JB's day fee will have gone up, in fact your position down the back could be under review......... I have some knee pads you can borrow as its been a while since you were forward of the mast.
"Old boats are like teenage girlfriends: there is a certain urgency to their needs & one neglects them at one's peril"
Thanks for that Alan, I'll take it into consideration. Perhaps some super glue on the helm might do the trick to ensure I stay put in the brains trust compartment.
Beyoootiful. As I view the frozen field behind our house.
Hello again guys thanks for the regards.. yeah that was us Robin .. sneaking a jump on the fleet and getting a very lucky break on the local knowledge guys and breaking through big time.a bit of a laugh really.
Well.. what since?.. the ex cyclone put the whim whams up the boats we were cruising with , and fair enough... Contour has engine starting issues. So we left the BOI( I was a bit sick of those gold sand beaches and clear water anyway) and boosted around to mimiwhangata to run shotgun down the coast. The usual big seas off Brett and a rolly night at Mimi. We sailed down the coast 30 miles or so and they made the decision to go home .. we split off for Great Barrier and just had a fantastic sail with a quick tiki tour of the Mokihinau's on the way.
Fush? got so much damn fush we're giving it away.. more albacore ( small compared to lee's units) endless small kingfish ( 500 mm or so...released)
Shark? mako are out of fashion .. its bronze whalers now.
At Mimi , Suzie was sitting in the water off the boarding ladder on Destination and got a feeling ( so to speak) looked around and there was a 2.5 metre bronze whaler 2 ft away. It stuck around a couple of hours and later was under the stripper and had a sniff at an oar. Yesterday here at Barrier we had a 3 m one within about 2 or 3 m of Kirsty on the paddleboard.
bucket if I'm going in.
Tonight we hunkered down in kaiarararararara bay in fitzroy........I caught a wee yellowtail on the sabiki set and set that out and hooked a 1 m Kingfish of about 18 or 20 lbs. I love that rod and reel.. its the best christmas present I ever gave myself.

JB, Check out the CYA website. I have incontovertible proof of your sailing prowess.
It wasn't a dream!!!
Hi John,
Still out there on the coast somewhere??
Great to see someone enjoying it and sharinig it.
Given the rather hot and damp weather have you every considered a run up the Whangarei harbour and tie up in the basin for a night, eat at Revia's or the Blue lagoon etc walk to the supermarket etc.
NB it's a 2 hour run up the harbour and most of the deep water anchorages are on the northern side which may become a problem is if goes SE except "the nook" in Parua Bay.
See you at Scotts landing
Only ever been there by car Zane.
The weather has turned .. we sat out some really quite nasty stuff for a couple of days and then had one beautiful clear day in the broken islands. Currently in whangaparapara hiding from 30 and 40 knots and the maps say its rain and nasty stuff for the next 4 days.. a bit of a window tomorrow to leave barrier( which I think we'll do.)
The wind in kaiarara bay was pretty character forming.. once we'd weened out the tossers and pillocks who anchored short amongst anchored long boats we settled in.One laughable 'discussion' with a launch which anchored in our scope( wind was forecast to back 90 degrees) I very politely told him that I thought he was too close for overnight and he came at me like a pekinese with a tick on its bum. I think that guy needs to get out of boating and buy a nice caravan.He eventually moved and moved another 3 times in the squalls.. had he not he was matchwood on an adjacent wharf. The gusts off the hills were , er, feral. Literally we'd be sitting in 5 knots side on and 40 or 50 would come roaring down the bay rolling spray and mini waterspouts, hit the boat and shove it sideways at half and knot or more at up to 10 degrees heel until rounded up by the scope. A few of those and we all became confident in the boats around us but a sleepless night and second anchor ready to go if needed.

ouch, rough night.
Been talking to Dad, he's got my sister and someone else crewing to come over from Whitianga. looks like they will wait until Monday / Tuesday. Short burst to the Merc's for a night, then Port Charles if it stays South and East,
He been offered a commerical boats mooring in Whangaparapara or up to smoke house.
Where is Kaiarar Bay on Barrier?
Do I keep an eye out for you over here? Close to the supermarket and wholesalers.
I've got my row boat going but am now having to up grade the oars as the splines down the back of the blades are braking down and starting to flex too much so no training these last 2 weeks.
Lock the hatch tonight.........
"Old boats are like teenage girlfriends: there is a certain urgency to their needs & one neglects them at one's peril"
Kaiarara bay is the next one to the south from fitzroy/ forestry.. big open one you'd walk to the kauri dams from Zane.
Yeah that was funny hearing about that Alan, we started getting texts asking us if we were out of barrier because it was' in lockdown'. We never heard a word of it and I see in the news tonight they've been found all safe.
We left Whangaparapara at 8.30 this morning in a gale warning for the outer gulf. Instead of 40 odd knots that was blowing yesterday it was down to 30 35. 1 reef 4 rolls in the jib , no mizzen ... it did blow solid 30 plus for a while and the seas were 2 to 3 metres with a few oh s*&^ high ones through Colville. Typical gulf/ Colville though, south easterly swell with a north easterly chop on top changing to a southerly from the firth. nasty stuff with a short fetch between swells/ waves so quite bucket ride for a while....Just forward of the beam for a course for AKl, the stripper did 9 behind us for a while but we sat on solid 8 to 8.5 for ages. moderated down to 20 for a couple of hours and the last 1 and a half hours 15! Great sail, 5 1/2 hours to Rangi light ..no sick kids and all of us kitted up jackets and harnesses for moving. Kirsty made bread from one of those pre made dough bulletts and we had PB on fresh bread for lunch plus cold black coffee made from coke and a tot.
Loved it. Hate being home early but its looking mean and wet for another couple of days and we were developing cabin fever... ah well thats the way it goes. I'll upload some pics tomorrow.
A Sticky! thats nice of you Scot .. thanks for that.

Sounds like quite a ride across the channel.
Thanks for the great thread John. These are always a treat.
Better yesterday than today John. Gusting 45 with 3 metre swell and that would probably mean 4 metre across Colville.
Didn't want to mention anything about the man hunt on Barrier. Going from past trips away you've had you would be looking pretty ferral yourself by now and just per chance you were out in the stripper frothing at the mouth after an altercation with a tosser stink potter the swat team would have been down on you like a Fastline tick control on a Pekinese's bum! so best you didn't know anything and just hunkered down down below Riada.
Mahurangi regatta is definitely looking ordinary at this point. I'd say numbers will be down and racing will be confined to inside the harbour and not round Saddle Island. The show always goes on though.
It was a good sail JP.
That was a real possibilty Stevey...my children pretend I belong to someone else,I might even have to get the razor out today. We definitely had a few 4's yesterday but not for long and on the beam.. lovely stuff but no... we wouldn't be doing it today.
I didn't have any altercations at all this year and its been a couple since the Abbawankers got me going. No this guy was a pillock or newbie or stressed/ worried and he went all attitude on me when I very politely told him.. suggested even that we'd not be safe anchored so close overnight given the conditions . We all had a great laugh at the guys manner.
photo wise we'd had the tall ships/classic and afterwards there was a snotty day or two to get out of the way weather wise before getting back to the usual..
ah yes.. anchored in 3 m of water on a sunny day.. good book and and staying on til 7 at night before hopping aound the point 10 minutes for an overnight anchorage

It was relentless, more sun, another bay , foursies on Riada or Contour or Destination or the beach
Got the boys all set up and sent them on a mission in the stripper to the next bay a couple of miles away before we followed in the big boats..
which is when the sea breeze came in and JB sailed the thing single handed in 12 or 15 and gave the ab a big workout. I have 2 abs now but no photos of the great event because everyone ( including me) was screaming when the boat took charge and bolted at the beach at 10 knots on that which most people would call 'the plane' .Yes ,now I realise that sailing it single handed two rigs up in a breeze truly is fantasy island..
Last edited by John B; 01-24-2011 at 02:57 PM. Reason: spelling
One memorable morning , the tide was right or close to it for breakfast on the spit. The other boats were still getting up but we were on a mission.
out with the foursies blanket, the $25 gas cooker and frypan, and some line honours rum and orange juice...
We managed an hour there perhaps... a great way to start the day.

Doing it in style... As always. Green with envy (when I look at all the NICE shots) Wouldn't fancy heading back from Barrier on Ngatira in a gale warning. Shudder at the thought.
Even the inner habour was getting a pasting this morning. The Devonport Yott Club + the Sea Scout Hall were a little wet
Its nice to live near the sea - but not in the sea.......
"Old boats are like teenage girlfriends: there is a certain urgency to their needs & one neglects them at one's peril"
Yerrrsss.... I do believe we have made a good call.
Currently trying to catch up on a months worth of threads but I'm struggling. Poor coverage , other things to do and the lemon Hewlet and Packard laptop have meant I've only been able to read a couple of threads and post directly to this un. There's been a mass pardoning by the looks.Wow. I can't find the Paul bought a gunmetal Corvette thread.Mr Lemonhands's thread is so big I'm scared to open it.
If I was to spray CRC on the laptop hinges , would that make my screen work every time? cos giving it a good twist/ rack only gives an intermittent result.

I am so glad that I got to know Marion. I used to deliver her meals on wheels to her when she lived on the Spur Hwy. I remember a sweet women with a smile that never stopped. When I would bring her meals to her; she would always ask me "did you bring some buttermilk" Visiting with her was the highlight of my day. I got to know Dorothy just before they moved Marion out of state. I want you to know that I still have the dressers that I was so lucky to receive from you. I was so lucky to have been the one bringing her meals. I enjoyed her wonderful stories and her smile. I enjoyed meeting Dorothy. Burt you were the only one that I trusted to help me sleep during surgery. I have thought about Marion off and on for a while. So sorry for your loss. She was a special lady, and I wish I could have known her in her younger days.

Never mind that No. 4 nationally ranked Boca Raton stepped onto the Cypress Bay field on Friday night as a prohibitive favorite over the Lightning in a Class 5A boys' soccer state semifinal game.
None of that mattered when it was over because it was the Lightning players celebrating wildly with their fans on the stadium track following their 2-0 upset over the Bobcats at Cypress Bay High School.
And with it, the two-time defending state champions, hit hard last summer when it suffered major losses from last year's national championship team when a rules change forced top players to choose between high school and year-round club ball, will now have a shot at a three-peat.
The Lightning (18-2-3) will travel to Melbourne High School on Saturday, Feb. 16 to take on Winter Garden West Orange in the Class 5A state championship game at 4 p.m. West Orange knocked off Gainesville Buchholz 2-1 in its semifinal.
"I told the kids before the game that they would have to really rise up to the occasion and leave everything on the field, and that's what they did out there tonight," said Cypress Bay coach John Ramos. "It was an incredibly physical, emotional and brutal game, and I left it up to our kids to find a way to get it done."
On a night where there were plenty of heroes for Cypress Bay, none stood out more than goalkeeper Hector Fernandez. After his team took an early 1-0 lead in the game's third minute on a Nicolas Guevara goal, the Lightning clung to the lead virtually the rest of the contest, thanks mainly to Fernandez's numerous saves, many stretched-out dives as Boca peppered him with shots.
"When I saw how hard my teammates were playing out there, I knew I had to do my part, too, and not let them down," Fernandez said.
After Boca lost a player to a red card in the 70th minute and was forced to play short handed, the Bobcats, trying to push up defenders, eventually left themselves vulnerable. That's when Cypress' Miguel Perez broke loose down the right side and knocked one past keeper Brian Kilgallon with six minutes left for an insurance goal.
• Class 3A state semifinal — American Heritage 3, Bradenton Palmetto 1: American Heritage speedy forward Jamar Campion-Hinds scored two early goals, allowing his team to weather a late match pressure from visiting Bradenton Palmetto for a 3-1 victory in Friday's Class 2A semifinals at Heritage.
Heritage (23-3-2) will vie for a second consecutive state title when it faces Ponte Vedra at Melbourne next Saturday. The Tigers ended their season at 25-2-3.
Campion-Hinds, an FIU signee, scored in the 14th minute on Heritage's second shot of the match when he took a pass from Christopher Mealer and streaked at least 20 yards to easily beat a defender on his right ring; his shot deflected off goalkeeper Daniel Martinez for the one-goal lead.
Campion-Hinds scored again 23 minutes later off a Palmetto turnover deep in the Tigers' defensive zone for a 2-0 halftime lead.
In the second half, Palmetto had its first opportunity in the 62nd minute when striker Hunter Brown took a rolling cross from the right wing, but his shot in front of the goal was stopped by a charging Djman Suarez to help preserve the two-goal lead.
• Class 4A state semifinal — Naples Gulf Coast 6, Fort Lauderdale 1: Fort Lauderdale didn't have any comebacks left as the Flying L's season ended a game short of the state championship with a loss to Naples Gulf Coast at Dillard in the Class 4A state semifinals.

There are a lot of logotypes that look like this. Even I have one that looks similar (http://stocklogos.com/node/2595). I created it back in 2004 as part of a proposition for a real estate agency (they decided to go for another idea of mine, so it was left unused and I submitted it here with a fictive name). I don't think this one is a deliberate copy of the workopolis logotype, it's just very hard to come up with new ideas while using simple geometrical forms.. :)
