Web designer (who wishes she was an illustrator) and bibliophile with a penchant for vast amounts of caffeine and yarn. Also has a crippling TV addiction and a certain fondness of flamingos and Js.My stuff
My Etsy shop:
As some of you know, I lost my job a while ago, and haven't been able to find a new one. This autumn I was also diagnosed with diabetes and Hasimotos disease, on top of my already existing conditions, which means even more medication and new special dietary needs. These past two months have been a bitch, to put it mildly. I've been forced to sublet my flat for a year, and move back in with my parents. At 36 it's not an ideal situation, even though I am very grateful that I have family that will help me. In the middle of all this my sister in law's father died, a close family friend who was only one year older than me also passed away suddenly, my grandmother had a heart attack and although she recovered (thank god) it was a really hard time. Also, one of the family cats had kittens (as I have no doubt you've all seen), one of which we had to bottle feed every other hour 24/7. Miranda passed away two days ago. During all this, I've also had to make the moving from my flat and cleaning it out happen, mostly by train as, the family was busy with everything else that's been going on. I haven't slept more than an hour a night for almost two months, I've cried so much my eyes hurt and I'm completely dehydrated and I have bruises all over my body from carrying and pushing things around. I haven't been able to breathe and I've just wanted to give up completely, at least once a day, five times a night.
Long story short: it's all been shit.
Hopefully the worst is over now though. Gran's home from the hospital and doing better. I have cleaned out the flat and turned over the keys. Miranda's still gone and it breaks my heart every time I think of her, but the other three kittens are doing great. I have managed to get rid of most of my costs, by renting out the flat, and I luckily get some things for free by living with the parents, but some things remain. And this is why I'm making this post. I need money for my medicine, remaining bills and train tickets to occassionaly get back into town. Also, as I've recently lost 40 lbs, a few clothing items would be needed, but not absolutely necessary.
I'm opening up comissions (of sorts), and also taking special orders on crocheted animals/figures or whatever you want. Just a few things: You might be aware that I have an Etsy shop - this is not it. In the Etsy shop I have two co-workers, this is me alone, in private. I can therefore not use the yarn and stuff we've bought for the company, but I have a huge stash of my own and all trimmings and stuff I need for a figure is also bought privately.
Examples of crochet:
I am currently working on a red Smaug version of the dragon and a polar bear in about the same size.
(also, the sheep in the bg)
Examples of drawings:
A dragon like the one in the picture is ca 30 cm long and would be around $65, not including postage. The cake would be $30 and the bunny or the sheep $38. The bird and other smaller animals from $25. All requests are welcome.
Drawings $20-50, depending on what you want and how complicated.
I kind of want to put up a donate button as well, but I don't know if I'm allowed? The paypal text is very confusing, and it has to be for a cause. Can I be a cause? Am I? Does anyone have any experience with this? Halp?
Send me an ask if you have questions or suggestions (or if you want to give me a job - that'd be the best). Even if you don't want to, or can't commission anything yourself, a reblog would be greatly appreciated.
ETA: Donation button up on the blog now. Thank you so much everyone for the help with that.
this lady seems nice you should all buy things from her

Evicting a Tenant - How to Video
I found this cool video which I think every property owners should know. You can find the do's and dont's and are all in layman's terms. Watch it.

Sample Eviction Letters and Templates
Read more at www.internetlivingathome.com
Once in a while, you need to remove someone from your property. Whatever your reasons may be, you are expected to do as humanly and gracefully as possible. No matter how pain in the butt your tenants are, you are still expected to treat them well, so to speak. An eviction letter, therefore, is needed to formalize your announcement for the tenant to leave your property.

Showing off their tone and tan physiques together, Kelly Ripa and her hunkband Marc Consuelos cooled off at the beach in the Hamptons this weekend.
After fourteen years of marriage, the 39-year-old couple's relationship is still in amazing shape.
She looks disgusting and is a BAD EXAMPLE FOR ALL WOMEN!
Please, She looks like a concentration camp victim. She is not sexy, she is not very bright and clearly not someone who should be falunting that body. Her chest is concave, her bones are showing, she has no chest aqnd toothpick legs. What does her husband see in her??????? She is not toned she is emaciated.
OMG!!! Kelly!! you need to eat..Your healthy,?? Your waaaay to thin! You don't look skinny, you look undernourished, like a ethiopian child on posters! What a bad body image for your daughter? You need to eat and still workout..you would look much better..and maybe keep your man interested in your new curves.
She looks HORRIBLE! You can see her bones! What the heck DOES? she eat? She used to have a beautiful full figure and was still tiny. Now she looks like a freak!
How very sad.... look at all those bones showing on Kelly. She needs an intervention from anexoria. Mark should step up to the plate and make sure she eats something. She is starving to death.
thanks for making me lose my breakfast all over this screen... you SUCK TMZ!!!!
GASPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! Well, I'll say it yet again.....
WHITE girls need to stay OUT OF THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If she isn't the poster child for gross tanned up nasty wrinkled up skin than its Pam Anderson!
How many white girl examples do we need before white girls get a clue. If you are young you are not even thinking about it, I get that...
But... do you want to look like this some day? Forget her gross body....her skin is just awful, not that the body isn't. Rode hard put up wet, orginated I'm convinced, from this look!
Call me whitey all day and night, at 43 I have wayyyyyy nicer skin than my peers, I never tanned after 19 and its paid off big time ladies. {Aren't you like 32 Lisa? bless you!}
Stay out of the sun. Its a killer for your looks after 30. CLEARLY.
Kelly Ripa looks positively skeletal. Those implants look way out of porportion on her 88lb frame
He's only with this white woman because she has money. Mark has no income worthy so he can't say nothing her about eating.
Kelly bag of bones!
i don't see any ab definition on him & she looks gross!!!!!! looks like all the food hes eating needs to be slid down the table to her. lol! 5lbs would do her some justice. but i'm sure she would just die if she gained even an ounce of fat.
I agree, someone needs to get her help! She looks like a skeleton with skin stretched over it!!
She looks horrible.
Oh man. She looks haaaarrrrible. A one piece is in order to cover up the weiner protruding from her belly. I know that's mean but if I liked her I wouldn't comment at all. She is so unfunny and annoying. She won the lottery ticket when she got the Regis show. Seriously awful all around. Name dropping, phoney skeletor.
Kelly should never wear a bikini again.
I reckon one piece bather would had been suitable.

The National Cryptologic Museum
samzenpus posted more than 6 years ago | from the look-at-all-the-secrets dept.133
An anonymous reader writes "The NSA's once small National Cryptologic Museum is bigger and better, with new more immersive exhibits like a reconstruction of a listening post from the Vietnam war. The place seems to be caught between the urge to keep your mouth shut and the pleasure of telling war stories. In time, though, the story notes that the need to tell stories wins out. Has anyone visited lately?"

Background: Geany is a small and fast integrated development

Based on (you might need to click 'Yes, I agree' OK to
get the exploit code in [2]):
[1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446986
[2] http://www.1337day.com/exploit/19924
it was found that Geany is not escaping filenames (when compiling /
building source) prior passing the final command line to shell.
The questions:
1) should Geany escape the filenames?,
2) is this a security issue or not?
Two views:
* view #1 - it shouldn't escape the filenames. It's just IDE,
so what it obtains as input is passed to shell for execution.
* view #2 - it should escape the filenames (because this is what
shell / bash is doing) prior making the build.
Obviously, even for gcc you can pass specially-crafted filename,
when attempt to build it would lead to "ls -la" command (for example)
to be executed.
I by myself am not sure / not able to decide here.
Steve, could you hint? Does Mitre have some guidance / document,
how to deal with cases like this one?
I didn't try it out by now.
Even though this is really not the best behavior at least I don't see
a real security issue here. Of course you could download a file called
foo.c"rm -rf /", open it and try to run it, but this would only be
executed with user's context which in the end doesn't make any
differences whether you having a shell script like
rm -rf /;
or funny_shell_script.sh"rm -rf /" downloading. /dev/user is needed
However, should be fixed of course as its dangerous behavior
nevertheless. ;)
Just my 2ct.

Dairy farmers in the Empire State received an average of $18.10 per hundredweight of milk sold during March, down $0.90 from February and $3.20 less than March a year ago.
Milk production in the 23 major States during March totaled 16.5 billion pounds, up 4.3 percent from March 2011. February revised production at 15.1 billion pounds, was up 8.2 percent from February 2011. The February revision represented a decrease of 13 million pounds or 0.1 percent from last month's preliminary production estimate.
Adjusting February production for the additional day due to leap year causes February revised production to be up 4.5 percent on a per day basis.
Production per cow in the 23 major States averaged 1,931 pounds for March, 59 pounds above March 2011. The number of milk cows on farms in the 23 major States was 8.52 million head, 94,000 head more than March 2011, and 9,000 head more than February 2012.

O'Keefe strikes again!

Getting Bigger For Bigness' Sake: AT&T Announces Deal To Buy DirecTV, A Deal That Even Confuses Wall St.
Why? When DirecTV is hemorraging users for cheaper tech, namely Roku or Apple TV or internet programs is AT&T scooping up DTV?
This has been rumored for a bit, but over the weekend AT&T officially announced plans to buy DirecTV for $50 billion. DirecTV is one of the companies perpetually being bought and sold (or rumored to be). The company has been involved in more aborted mergers than I can remember. Either way, while Wall Street folks often like just about any merger announcement (mergers and later spinoffs are great moneymakers for the banks), even it has been scratching its head at this particular deal. At best, it seems like a sort of reaction to Comcast-Time Warner Cable and an attempt to get bigger for the sake of bigness. Though, of course, it's getting bigger in a pretty saturated market (and one that is actually on the decline due to cord cutting). Perhaps it's an admission that AT&T's own TV service, Uverse, just hasn't done that well. Or maybe it's just an admission that AT&T is swimming in too much cash.
Either way, if both this and the Comcast/TWC merger go through, then we'll have an almost complete duopoly on pay TV. Congress wasted no time in announcing that hearings will have to be held about the potential merger, and, as with the Comcast deal, expect months of puffed up rhetoric and questionable op-ed pieces, as lobbyists work over time to make sure the deal happens. Of course, there is another way that the public can make their own statement on all of this: cut the cord and stop relying on terrible pay TV deals that really just aren't worth it any more.
I guess they have to buy something…
Chameleon President
"I am who the media says I am. I say what they say I say. I become who they say I've become."—Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope, 2006.
"The White House has effectively become a broadcast company," says Michael Shaw, publisher of Bagnewsnotes.com, a site dedicated to the analysis of news images. Shaw explains how strategically composed photos, taken by official White House photographers, travel from social media sites that are controlled by the administration to the front pages of newspapers around the world.
The press publishes the official White House photographs because independent photographers and videographers are increasingly barred from covering the president. This practice has diminished the power of the independent media as an exclusive distribution channel while empowering official photographers such as Pete Souza, who are on the presidential payroll.
And so, says Shaw, the public has been fed a steady diet of whatever kind of president the news cycle demands. When conspiracy theorists questioned Obama's patriotism, we saw images of Obama the American everyman. To celebrate the anniversary of Rosa Parks' 1955 refusal to move to the back of a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama, we saw Obama reenact her famous image. Time and again, we see Obama striking poses out of John F. Kennedy's repertoire. The official White House photographers have created a presidential identity for every conceivable occasion—as long as the image is flattering, and almost always, larger than life.
Finally. A Bill Maher comment I can get behind…
Bill Maher Delivers Blistering Takedown of Radical Islam During Tense Battle With Liberal Panel on Terrorism
Huffington Post President Arianna Huffington and comedian Baratunde Thurston both warned Maher against condemning the entire religion because of the behavior of radicals. Thurston also claimed that Islam doesn't have a "monopoly" on extremism.
"Kind of they do," Maher said. "Not a monopoly, but perspective is important. … It's the Titanic hitting the iceberg compared to Whitney Houston dying in her bathtub."
"If this was the 14th century, I would be coming down on the Christians because that's when they were too violent," Maher said. "Religions and cultures change."
Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza chimed in, claiming that most modern day terrorist attacks have some ties to Islam. He joked that you don't see a lot of "Buddhist suicide bombers."
Maher also noted that one poll indicated that "something like 80 or 90 percent" of Muslims in Egypt agree that death is the appropriate penalty for leaving the religion of Islam.
"If 84 percent of Brazilians thought that death was the proper penalty for leaving Catholicism, wouldn't that be a bigger story?" Maher asked.
Responding to Maher's points, Huffington said it is "dangerous" when people try to stereotype all Muslims as terrorists, even though neither Maher or D'Souza made that claim.
"Where it becomes dangerous is that liberals like yourself do not stand up for liberalism. Liberalism means, one, mostly, equality of women," Maher replied.
Benham brothers: 'If faith cost us TV show, so be it'
HGTV had announced a new series, Flip it Forward, planned for October, starring twins David and Jason Benham.
In each episode, the brothers would find a fixer-upper and "transform it into their forever home — with a healthy dose of sibling rivalry between the brothers along the way," said HGTV in the April announcement.
But today, quietly, in a tweet, HGTV says the show will not be happening.
t appears, according to Towleroad.com, that HGTV was alerted to a Tuesday story by Right Wing Watch.org, which looked into the background of the Benham brothers and found them to be "anti-gay, anti-Choice extremists."
"We were saddened to hear HGTV's decision. With all of the grotesque things that can be seen and heard on television today you would think there would be room for two twin brothers who are faithful to our families, committed to biblical principles, and dedicated professionals. If our faith costs us a television show then so be it."
Christian-hating liberal fascists have once again demonstrated their 'tolerance'
They're at it again.
The Fascist assault on speech continues.
This time, HGTV has decided to drop a planned reality show starring two brothers named Jason and David Benham. The show would have centered around the Benhams fixing up dilapidated houses for families in need. A worthy cause, a wholesome idea, a show that might do some good in the world. But it had to be shutdown because deep, dark secrets have been revealed about the dastardly Benham brothers.
What are those secrets?
Well, it isn't really a secret at all – the Benham brothers are outspoken Christians.
Suffice it to say that a handful of extreme leftwing propaganda sites — ones that nobody reads and nobody cares about — put pressure on HGTV to cancel a show because the hosts of the show are Christian. HGTV gave into their demands without even the slightest hesitation.
We are in the wrong business…
$80 Million for 6 Weeks for Cable Chief
Robert D. Marcus became chief executive of Time Warner Cable at the start of the year. Less than two months later, he agreed to sell the company to its largest rival, Comcast, for $45 billion.
For that work, he will receive nearly $80 million if the deal closes, a severance payment that amounts to more than $1 million a day for the six weeks he ran the company before agreeing to sell.
"It's not unprecedented, but it is rare and troubling," said Robert Jackson Jr., an associate professor at Columbia Law School. "There's something stunning about such big paydays for such a small amount of work."
Ya think?
How 'Free to Be … You and Me' emasculated men
The show, which is of course unwatchable today except perhaps in states with generous attitudes toward self-medication such as Colorado and Washington, was an hour-long special that meant to tell little girls they could be anything they wanted, and little boys they could be anything they wanted too, provided that what they wanted was to be girls.
The program's most searing and indelible moment was the horrifying sight of Rosey Grier, a huge man once known as one of the most ferocious players in the NFL, strumming a guitar, smiling like a brain donor and singing "It's All Right to Cry."
No wonder that the girls of the "Free to Be" generation would grow up to buy millions of copies of "Fifty Shades of Grey." Forty years of gender re-education later, the only place they could find masculine men anymore was fiction.
Jeering Al-Jazeera
Wow! Al-Jazeera's pulling MSNBC's numbers!
Ad Age has a short article out right now about the colossal face-plant that is Al Jazeera America, formerly CurrentTV, which Al Jazeera bought from Al Gore for something like $100 million. Get a load of these numbers for viewership:
The channel isn't even pulling in half the total audience that predecessor Current TV managed. Al Jazeera America has averaged just 15,000 total viewers in prime-time since bowing in August, with only 5,000 viewers in the target 25-to-54-year-old demographic, according to Nielsen figures. That's low enough to be considered "scratch," or negligible, by Nielsen. For the marketers that still worry about the channel's perspective and its image in the U.S., those aren't the kind of numbers to tempt a re-examination.
Only 15,000 prime time viewers? Seriously?
FCC Monitors Your News, Komrade
We're from the government and we're here to help….
FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai, who first raised awareness of the CINs in the Wall Street Journal, warned:
The FCC says the study is merely an objective fact-finding mission. The results will inform a report that the FCC must submit to Congress every three years on eliminating barriers to entry for entrepreneurs and small businesses in the communications industry.
This claim is peculiar. How can the news judgments made by editors and station managers impede small businesses from entering the broadcast industry? And why does the CIN study include newspapers when the FCC has no authority to regulate print media?
Consider how news reporting on these needs might be geared by the FCC based on their definitions of "station bias" and "underserved populations." America's free press, already ranked at an abysmal 46 by Reporters Without Borders, would sink even further down the drain. The organization notes:
No fewer that eight individuals have been charged under the Espionage Act since Obama became president, compared with three during Bush's two terms. While 2012 was in part the year of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, 2013 will be remember for the National Security Agency computer specialist Edward Snowden, who exposed the mass surveillance methods developed by the US intelligence agencies.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has already declared his jealousy of Obama's power when it comes to NSA surveillance. The ex-KGB officer has yet to publicly drool over the prospects of the FCC study. For its part, the FCC has yet to determine whether or not an ex-Soviet intelligence officer's jealousy of the president of the free world is a story that constitutes bias.
Disturbingly enough, it is a story that is relevant to an increasingly underserved population: the American public.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Dozens of Cape Coral police officers swarmed a local Walmart today. But it wasn't for a scary situation. It was to shop with children in need.
Cameron Durlacher is looking at shoes, and with him is a special helper. "I'm pretty excited!" he said.
Cameron is one of 40 Cape Coral kids, getting to shop with a cop for Christmas. And while they shopped for themselves, many of the children, like Cameron, said they were excited to buy items for their family. "I get to spend money on my family and get them money to get them what they've really been wanting," he said.
This is the 10th year for Shop with a Cop. Local families who need a little extra help applied in advance for the opportunity. Each of the families gets $50.00 donated by Walmart. And when that money runs out, the officers will often donate money out of their own pockets.
"They'll do the shopping, and then they're out of 50 really quick and then cop will say go ahead, here's a couple (dollars). They take care of them. A couple of years, they go home to put gifts under a tree. But there isn't a tree, and I've seen them go out and buy a tree on their own and bring it back," said Lt. Tony Sizemore.
Andy Hernandez can't believe he gets this special opportunity. "I'm looking for watches or clothes," he said.
And while they purchase gifts, the officers are also building relationships and pointing these kids in the right direction.
"I wouldn't want to get in the back of the car! And I wouldn't ever want to be arrested," said Hernandez.

The COA sticker on the case has a valid OEM product key - this should be usable with any OEM media. The alternative is to use a volume license disc and VLK.
I've recently taken delivery of some 2nd hand Dell desktops from 1st Technologies.
They have been completely wiped but come with a Windows XP Pro sticker on the side but with no installation media.
Can you just install XP Pro from another manufacturers CD and then just activate it OK?
Or will I have to get hold of a volume licence CD and key from our county licence supplier?
The COA sticker on the case has a valid OEM product key - this should be usable with any OEM media. The alternative is to use a volume license disc and VLK.
You are one step ahead of me Simon. Hoping to have my desktops from 1st tech soon. Glad you asked though as i'd probably have wondered the same thing.
The only potential problem you're likely to have is if the OEM disk you plan to use is different in some significant way from the one that the key matches.. eg: SP1 key with SP2 disk won't work..
Not sure about the OEM manufacturer side of things if there's any differences there but if nothing else you can always install using a key of your own that suits your disk and then reset the key when it's all happy later using one of the various tools I understand are out there for the purpose.
Ta -I'll give it a go with a DELL LfT CD and see what happens
Had an issue with using a Compaq CD on an NEC laptop but this may have been a SP issue as the NEC came with 1a and the Compaq didn't
I've tried using othe OEM disc on differnet Manufacturers and not had much luck.
I've tried Acer, Compaq, Toshiba, Evesham and Dell OEM discs in each other without much success.
When you buy the computers from Ist tech are you paying for the license? If not wouldn't you have to buy a new xp lic?
Yes, the machines come with an XP Pro COA, which is partly what makes them such a good deal. They just don't come with any operating system pre-installed.Originally Posted by chrbb
OEM licenses 'belong' to the PC and stay with it until death.
The issue is with the way OEMs alter the OS installation disc to add in specific drivers and the like. I believe that all DELL ones are the same though (whether it be from a desktop or laptop).
Which, in a school, probably won't be that long away.Originally Posted by Geoff
I watched a class pack up in the ICT Suite last week and one of the pupils was asked to shut down all the computers (no idea why the individual pupils can't do it) so he went around and turned them all off at the sockets (without shutting them down first)!! Is it any wonder I have three computers in there with broken hard drives?
Sorry for taking this off topic... just felt like ranting.
Ah, the advantages of solid-state thin client devicesOriginally Posted by _Bat_
@ Simon just get hold of the VLK CD and the serial from that centre you love so much. Saves alot of hassle as long as your machines are licenced for XP.
HP OEM CDs only work on HP machines and they are fussy at times on them. I just use a Volume Disk on them all, I own the XP licences so whats the issue.
As for the SP1 COA and media issue, so long as you are upgrading IE the Disk is an SP2 OEM disk it will work fine with an original XP COA. My machine at home as an original XP COA and I now use an XP Pro SP2 media disk on it

Bat-retrieving dog for Yankees affiliate dies
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Chase, a baseball bat-retrieving dog who entertained fans of a club in the New York Yankees farm system, has died.
The ailing 13-year-old golden retriever lived just long enough to be thrown a retirement party by the Trenton Thunder, which was held at Friday's game. The team said Chase died Monday.
The dog had been diagnosed in February with a form of lymphoma, suffered from arthritis and struggled during his last appearance.
His bat-retrieving legacy will live on with his son Derby, who continues to be part of the Thunder's home game entertainment. Another son, Ollie, performs with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
Chase made his debut with the Thunder in 2002. He would trot out to the batter's box to pick up bats with his mouth and bring them back to the dugout. He also carried a woven basket with bottles of chilled water to the umpires and entertained fans by running down flying discs in the outfield.
At Friday's celebration, which coincided with his birthday party, fans were encouraged to bring their dogs to the game. Chase bobblehead dolls also were given out.
Last month, he was also honored on the field at Yankee Stadium.
The Thunder's website Tuesday featured a photo of their late mascot with a bat in his mouth and the caption, "In Loving Memory, Chase That Golden Thunder."
Here is a spectator video of Chase posted on YouTube:

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have two children in the school. Both of my children are exceeding acadamically very well.
I appreciate how well the school is run. I find all the staff to be really helpful for my children. The school administration has help me with a serious problem. I appreciate their concern.
I have never in the years that I have been the Dirksen principal bully any child's parent or guardian. If I am asked a question, I respond honestly. We follow the policies set by the Board of Education. I think, at times, people believe that we can make up the policies to suit their particular problem. We can not. We try to solve problems. Hopefully, most parents/guardians believe that we are doing our best to meet the academic needs of their children. That's the job. I do wish we had more classroom space. We have to deal with the space limitations we have. Our teachers are of the highest quality. They work hard so children succeed. This year, because of enrollment, we opened a third kindergarten class (no more than 25 children in each). CPS is going through a rough budgeting period. We need to see what may happen.
all three of my children went to dirksen.It is a good school. my children have learned alot since going. my daughter is a honor student. they have had very good teachers.
Teachers are good, but sometimes expect too much. The Principal is too used to getting things his way and is not above using underhanded techniques to bully parents. He steps beyond the realm of his professional reach. During the 2004-2005 school year he spoke inappropriately to several parents. The assistant principal however, is very responsive and personable.

Today, we launch a new report about female genital mutilation/cutting that looks at data from 29 countries over the past 20 years. Our main finding? Overall, support for the practice is declining - even in countries where FGM/C is widespread, such as Egypt and Sudan. But there is still work to be done! In a few countries, the proportion of girls and women who want FGM/C to continue has remained constant.

Globally, an estimated 215 million children are involved in labour. A violation of children's basic rights, labour that is detrimental to health or that otherwise impedes development must cease. Children who work rather than go to school are also more prone to a lifetime of poverty. The World Day against Child Labour – held annually on 12 June – calls for a global commitment to end the harmful practice.

Parliamentarians address the rights of childrenMore than 600 parliamentarians participated in the 128th Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly held from 22–27 March in Quito, Ecuador. The parliamentarians came together to tackle a range of challenges – from crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic to development priorities after 2015.
Among the issues high on the agenda was their role in addressing the rights of children with disabilities.
The Inter-Parliamentary Union is a critical UNICEF partner in mobilizing members of parliaments on behalf of the world's children.

TEASER ALERT: In May, UNICEF will launch this year's edition of its flagship publication, State of the World's Children. The focus for 2013 is Children with Disabilities.
With this report, UNICEF hopes to add a strong voice and increased visibility to the global, necessary and increasingly urgent debate about disability rights, especially those of children. State of the World's Children 2013: Children with Disabilities will focus on the position of children with disabilities in a varying worldwide landscape: how do they fare at home, in school, or at health care centres? What happens to children with disabilities in emergencies or conflict? How do these situations fluctuate around the world? The report will ask readers to consider the lost opportunities in denying the full potential of these children.
With that in mind…we thought we would share with you an article from The Guardian titled: Disability must be a central plank of the post-2015 development framework
As far as they are concerned…"No development goal should be considered met unless it equitably reaches the world's 1 billion disabled people"…We agree…what do you think?

Ovary explosion is an understatement, Kickettes. This new bundle of Arsenal Adorkableness is causing an extreme ovaryaction in our esteemed domicile at the mo.
Jack Wilshere's (ex?) girlfriend Lauren Neal, gave birth to a baby boy – Archie Jack Wilshere – today at 15:06 GMT. The tiny tot clocked in at a healthy 7lbs 11oz and we greatly appreciate Jack not making us wait until eternity to get a peek at his newborn by pulling a David Beckham.
As if seeing pictures of Jack and his cute puppy weren't distracting enough, we can't even begin to comprehend what this season's bubbas & 'ballers parade at the Emirates (hopefully starring these two cuties) will do to our physical and mental states.

Led by captains Alessia Faverio and Cameron Thatcher, both graduating seniors, the Warren Wilson College Paddling Team has earned its second consecutive national title. The team traveled to Dillsboro, N.C. to compete in the annual American Canoe Association (ACA) Collegiate Race Series National Championships on the Tuckasegee River between March 29th and 30th.
Wilson students competed against Albion College, Hollins University, Southwestern Community College, University of Alabama, University of Virginia, and Western Carolina University.
The Warren Wilson team is led by a squad of graduating seniors and will rely heavily on younger team members in upcoming seasons. Chin-pu Chen, Maggie Mae Farthing, Alessia Faverio, Elias Grant, Davis Jones, Wyatt Pace, and Cameron Thacker will all graduate this spring.
"We do have a really good team. Most of the seniors have been developing their skills for the past four years, and I'm hoping some of them continue to do this," says paddling team coach and Electric Crew supervisor John Griffith. "Some may end up representing the US in international competition; who knows?"
The Wilson Athletic Department is proud of the team's long history of success and sees Griffith as a large part of that success. "WWC Paddling team has been making waves for years. The team remains a solid part of our program, and the reason they are so successful is because they have two coaches who pour a lot of effort and energy into the logistics of running a team, coordinating with ACA about their membership and schedule, and keeping our students informed about the next step," Wilson Athletic Director, Stacey Enos said. "Griffith has been a part of this program in various ways for twenty years. When he took a break ten years ago, the program suffered. Upon his return,
At the Nationals Championships, the paddling team proved once more how dedicated and passionate they are, with the Wilson team posting impressive times in all events. Wilson medalists in the Women's Kayak Championship were Alessia Faverio (Gold), Katrina Camara (Silver), and Corrine Hertz (Bronze); in Short Kayak, Erica Oliver (Gold), Corrine Hertz (Silver), and Katrina Camara (Bronze); in Solo Canoe, Alessia Faverio (Gold) and Maggie Mae Farthing (Bronze); in Tandem Canoe, Maggie Mae Farthing and Erica Oliver (Silver); in Stand-up Paddleboard, Erica Oliver (Gold) and Alessia Faverio (Silver); and in the Team Relay, Katrina Camara, Maggie Mae Farthing, Alessia Faverio, Corrine Hertz, Ellie Medley, and Erica Oliver (Gold).
Wilson medalists in the Men's Kayak Championship were Cameron Thacker (Gold); in Short Kayak, Dan Warner (Bronze); in Solo Canoe, Miron Golfman (Gold), Davis Jones (Silver), and Alex Stern-Bernhart (Bronze); in Tandem Canoe, Davis Jones and Miron Golfman (Gold); in Stand-up Paddleboard Armin Weise (Gold) and Davis Jones (Silver); and in the Team Relay, Chin-pu Chen, Miron Golfman, Elias Grant, Davis Jones, Alex Stern-Bernhart, and Cameron Thacker (Gold).

My Little Pony Beer
My son and I are making beer together (bonding with a college student is actually not difficult). Our first batch was good - it was labeled as a "summer ale," but had a spice combination that was more heavy than expected. Still, it was good for a summer ale. We bottled our second batch - a wheat beer - yesterday and are now waiting for the carbonation to kick in.
We are calling our brew My Little Pony Beer, which may seem odd for a college student to choose. There's a story behind the name.
A few years ago my youngest daughter went through a pretty serious My Little Pony phase. It didn't surprise us, then, when her birthday wish-list had the words "My Little Pony" in front of each item. Just for fun, I wrote the words "My Little Pony Beer" in my best imitation of her handwriting at the bottom of her list.
A few days later my wife told me that my daughter was quite distressed when going over her list and finding that "My Little Pony Beer" was on it.
"I didn't write that on my list," she said, quite concerned.
"Well, it's on your list," my wife replied. "If it's on your list, you might just get it," as if the birthday list was magical in some way.
Fittingly, when her birthday came I made a label with a pony on it and affixed it to a beer bottle with juice in it. She was a little nervous when she first looked at it, but having grown up around our family's humor, was soon swigging the "beer" and mugging for pictures.
It's now part of family lore, commemorated by our latest creations.
This sunset was beautiful and I had fun trying the different combinations I could do with Hipstagram.

Amber and I traded them their first kandi. These girls were incredibly sweet, beautiful, and full of light. #WhyIRave is something so much more than the outfits, the djs, the venue, any of that. I rave because for a moment, under the bright lights, in that hot crowd, we are one. In a world that we divide ourselves by our differences, we are united by edm, and with that, Plur comes into effect. Raving has forever made its imprint on me. I look at everyone both under the #electricsky and the normal one as equals. Giving everyone a chance to be nice and well…. Plur. @pasqualerotella has created a world for us out of his love for the scene for us to dance, laugh, and most importantly L❤VE. We "escape" to a place we all consider "home". These events help to pull us through hard times & give us a "light at the end of the tunnel". The #latimes has painted our awesome rave scene with such an unflattering color. Simply because they are judging what they don't understand. Yes the drugs are there, people don't know their limit & act recklessly. But that's life, & that's everywhere. By Pasquale giving us a safe place to come, rave & enjoy the simplest things in life. He is in turn giving us a place to truly & freely live. The people I have met, the friendships that have been born are most definitely genuine. My extended rave family grows more and more each time. When I was hospitalized, so many of my rave fam reached out to send kind words and offer comfort. And it warmed my heart. How could these people whom I've met once or twice, or some that I've only spoken to a couple times on instagram have so much love & support for me? That my friends, is plur and the main reason that I love this scene. So la times why don't you open your mind, and Minot let the actions of few represent the scene as a whole. Do not judge what you do not understand.

Earth Overshoot Day: Enough is Never Enough!
In case you missed it, August 22nd was Earth Overshoot Day, so it's time to celebrate! Just kidding, this is terrible news.
Every year, Earth Overshoot Day is a day in which the planet begins to use more that it can regenerate in a year. So it isn't so much of a celebration as it is a wake up call/warning/oh sh*t moment.
Last year, Earth Overshoot Day was August 20th, and was September 27th in 2011. The significant jump is due some new calculations, but it is still not a good sign.
GFN (Global Footprint Network) put together this fancy infograph to show just how many resources a specific nation uses compared to its size.
Basically this means that the current population of Earth needs the resources of 1.5 Earths, and by 2050 we will need the resources of 2 Earths.
Is there a way curb over consumption on Earth?
