Is Downtown San Diego Safe?
I just answered this question on Trulia…
"Is the area around the Park Blvd West condos safe? For example, Can I walk my dog at night…..around 9pm or so?"
I know this neighborhood well. I'm sure people do walk their dogs at night…I would hate to give a definitive on whether it's safe or not..because sometimes, stuff just happens in the best of neighborhoods. Also, what is safe for a young woman is likely different from a 6'2″ male who is in the Marines!
My best response is to check out the crime statistcis for the address on this webiste: http://www.crimemapping.com. Before you buy or rent, go there at 9 PM on a Saturday night and a Wednesday night and see how YOU feel about the street activity.
Is Downtown San Diego safe? Do your homework and in the end, you must answer that question for yourself.

Up to 40,000 "Red Shirt" supporters from across Thailand converged on central Bangkok Saturday to mark the second anniversary of a deadly crackdown on street protests, city police said.
A carnival of flag-waving Red Shirts, food vendors and the occasional monk, took over the retail heart of the city, where the 2010 protests in support of ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra descended into the kingdom's worst violence in decades.
Police blocked traffic at the Ratchaprasong intersection, one of Bangkok's busiest junctions, as mainly rural working-class Red Shirts arrived en masse in coaches laid on by the movement.
"At 6pm (1100 GMT) there were around 40,000 people at Ratchaprasong," a Bangkok police spokesman said as the rally highlight -- a live video link with Red Shirt hero Thaksin -- approached.
Red Shirt leaders had anticipated between 100,000 and 200,000 people would attend the rally, which began with Buddhist prayers for those killed in the 2010 unrest and will end early Sunday.
More than 90 people, mostly civilians, died in the 2010 violence, which marked the culmination of a series of rival protests since a 2006 coup that toppled Thaksin, who now lives overseas to avoid arrest in Thailand.
The Red Shirts have called on the new government, led by Thaksin's sister Yingluck, to prosecute soldiers and officials responsible for causing the deaths and injuries, many to unarmed demonstrators.
So far no cases have been brought in connection with the violence and Yingluck's government has raised the prospect of an amnesty for those involved, prompting an outcry from human rights groups.
Red Shirt leader Thida Thavornseth stood on the stage -- framed by a banner proclaiming in Thai 'Our friends must not die in vain' -- and thanked the crowd for coming.
"Your numbers are a testament to the fact that our movement still exists and is getting stronger and stronger," she said.
The city's vast Central World shopping mall, which was set alight in the chaotic and bloody endgame to the 2010 protests, closed early as the crowd packed into the courtyard outside waiting for Thaksin's address.
"We love him," said Sunan Chansinng, who made the two-hour trip from Pattaya for the rally. "He cares about the poor and nobody else does in Thailand."
Thailand has seen a string of violent protests since 2005, involving the arch royalist and nationalist Yellow Shirts, the Red Shirts and several smaller factions.

Thérouanne is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. It is located west of Aire-sur-la-Lys and south of Saint-Omer, on the D157 and D341 road junction.
At the time of the Gauls, Tarwanna or Tervanna was the capital of the Belgian tribe of the Morini. After the Romans conquered Gaul, they too made the city the capital of the Civitas Morinorum district.
In the 7th century, probably around 639, Saint Audomar (Saint Omer) established the bishopric of Terwaan or Terenburg, the diocese of Thérouanne, which during the Middle Ages controlled a large part of the left bank of the river Scheldt. Territorially it was part of the county of Artois which belonged to the county of Flanders.
Thanks to that ecclesiastical control of some of the most prosperous cities north of the Alps, like Arras and Ypres, the bishopric was able to build a cathedral which was at the time the largest in France.
The town was captured by the Emperor Maximilian and Henry VIII from the French in 1513 after the battle of the Spurs. In 1553 Charles V besieged Thérouanne, then a French enclave in the Holy Roman Empire, in revenge for a defeat by the French at the siege of Metz. After he captured the city he ordered it to be razed, the roads to be broken up, and the area to be ploughed and salted. Only a small commune which lay outside the city walls, then named Saint-Martin-Outre-Eaux, was left standing, and later (probably around 1800) took over the name Thérouanne. Part of the portal of the cathedral was acquired by Saint-Omer; a colossal statue of Christ is all that is left of it these days.
The disappearance of the former bishopric led to a reform of sees at the Council of Trent, and the bishopric of Thérouanne was split between those of Saint-Omer and Ypres.

Child custody issues can prove to be complex and difficult to navigate. If you and your spouse are considering obtaining a divorce or are already divorced and are experiencing conflict regarding child custody, please continue reading to get helpful information and advice.
Most couples realize the difficulties that can arise when they choose to file for a divorce. They also understand the negative impact it can have on the children. In order to ensure that the entire process goes as smoothly and quickly as possible, it is important to have all the information necessary to resolve your specific case. One of the most important decisions that you will have to make is in regards to child custody. Although every state slightly operates under slightly different laws and regulations, New York is a good example of what the timeline of your situation may look like.
There are two different types of child custody: legal and physical. Legal custody refers to the right and responsibility to make decisions regarding the child's upbringing. From education to healthcare to religion, the parent with legal custody will have the right to be involved in these issues, even if they do not have physical custody. Physical custody simply refers to the parent that the child lives with for the majority of the time. Both of these types of custody can either operate under sole custody or physical custody. Sole custody means that only one parent has either legal custody or physical custody or both. Joint custody means that the parents share the responsibility of making decisions or the child splits their time equally living with each parent.
As there are several different options regarding a custody plan, it is understandable that it can be difficult to come to an agreement. Sometimes, the case has to go before the court. There are several different factors which they will take into account when determining who will receive child custody. The first aspect is which parent had previously been the main caregiver for the child. The court will also examine the strengths and weaknesses of each child in regards to parenting. If there was any domestic violence in the past, this will also affect who the court decides to grant custody to. Depending on what age the child is, they will also take into account the child's wishes if they have a preference of who they would rather live with.
Going before a judge may be necessary in some cases, however, it does have certain pitfalls. For example, a courtroom custody battle is more emotionally traumatizing on the children. It could also prove to be more expensive and drawn-out. Not only that, but it puts the decision in the hands of a judge rather than staying in your control. Through mediation, you can keep control over the specifics of your case as well as avoid these other negative consequences. With the help of an impartial attorney acting as a mediator, you could come to an agreement that suits everyone.

"Hello my name is Aline Cormier, I was born in New Brunswick Canada, the fifth child of a family of eight, my oldest sister died at the age of three months. I have one son, two grandkids whom I love dearly. When my son was in high school , he had a school project on genealogy, he came home with this family tree chart and began asking questions about my family. Well this really interested me , but I figured nah I'm too old to start this. He said to me, mom anyone can do genealogy, you can go to the genealogy center its free to do so. Another plus in my favor. So one day I said to myself, why not try it? Well the first day that I went to the genealogy center, it was all Greek to me. What did microfilms mean? Am I allowed to use them? Hey how do I get the film onto the machine. Help? Finally I mastered that. Now where do I look? Oh there are some parish registers, all kinds of them, oh boy. Here I go. Just to add this note, when I began my genealogy I didn't have a computer, so I did everything like writing for birth, marriages and death certificates. Going to the cemeteries etc. I have my notes in different binders, that I need to sort out one day, I have collected photos of whoever I could get. So I created this blog to share with you , and for you to share with me. Have a great day."

Genealogie Tagebuch – My Time In History Blog
"Nachdem ich ja 1998 mit der Ahnenforscherei angefangen habe, und seiner Zeit ja auch schon einige Einträge in meiner Familiendatei verzeichnen konnte, war ca. 2000 schon wieder ein bisschen die Luft raus …In der Zwischenzeit ist auch viel passiert – ein Haus gebaut, geheiratet und den Stammbaum selber um eine Tochter (Eve Greta Kracke) erweitert! Jetzte, Anfang 2007 hat mich aber das Fieber erneut gepackt und ich möchte einfach mal wieder ein bisschen nachforschen und möglichst meine Ahnentafel komplettieren. Also, ich freue mich drauf ein paar neue Kontakte zu knüpfen und neue Informationen zu erforschen. Auf diesen Seiten werde ich dann immer mal wieder von meinen aktuellen Forschungen, Fortschritten und Erlebnissen berichten!"
Genealogy Fun
"Genealogy has always been of interest to me. It takes many years of hard work to become an experienced researcher, which I will never be. Don't be discouraged if you are interested in genealogy work on it when you can. It is a great hobby. Don't feel that you can't get into genealogy because you don't have the money to become a member somewhere. I 'm sure it is great if you are but not required to do genealogy research. There are lots of sites where you can get information for free. You don't even have to leave your home."
Genealogy Soup
"In 1991 I received a copy of a book that was self published by one of my family members with 180 years of my family history. It was an excellent attempt, but it was rife with errors and little or no documentation. Being raised in a military family and travelling the world this book was fascinating to me. I knew my family was BIG with Irish Catholic roots and now I had names and places I could confirm this with. I had been "playing around" with genealogy for a few years before this but with this book the Genealogy bug bit me, and soon became an obsession as I have found this hobby usually does for many people. I knew some of the facts in the book relating just to my direct family were wrong so I had a feeling there were other things that were too and I had the urge to fix them but I had no clue where to begin. In 1991 I had already been using a computer for 6 years.. I was addicted to the vast number of things it could do and since the "web" was just getting going I was also really excited about the amount of information that was becoming available. I had a gut feeling that THIS was going to be the tool to help me in my research."

Ronan Lyons Blog
"As it happens, I'm hoping to revamp my blog soon and make it better organised around those two main strands, as the traffic to my blog neatly divides into two – those interested in genealogy and those interested in economics. The opportunity to blog on genealogy to a wider audience – and the structure of having and editor of sorts to write for – would help me stay focused on getting posts out! What I've been exploring in my genealogy posts so far is interesting ways of handling masses of data, e.g. surnames or parishes, to give insights into where next to look for clues when you hit a wall in the family tree. I've lots of other thoughts on using the Web for family tree research, good news sources, etc., that I haven't yet got around to putting onto the blog, but would be happy to over the coming weeks and months and share with geneabloggers."

Her writing has a sparkle and is nuanced in a way few historians achieve. This website deserves five starts for its wonderful and inviting format.

Happy Fin Free Chinese New Year
Dive Tribe and it's supporters Marine Project, Scuba With Mike and Students from Mahidol University celebrated Chinese New Year "Underwater" with the Sharks at Underwater World in Pattaya.
The reason for the event was to let the visiting public and media know that Sharks Fin soup a delicacy traditionally given at Chinese New Year is no longer a sustainable option and can also damage the consumers health.
Over the past few years, the global plight of sharks has gained prominent attention with a growing momentum to protect sharks across the world. This past year, U.S. President Barack Obama signed the Shark Conservation Act into law to close existing loopholes on shark finning. The European Commission adopted a strong draft legislative proposal to end shark finning. Taiwan, the fourth largest shark catching country in the world, has also enacted regulations to outlaw shark finning as from 2012. Several Central American countries adopted regional regulations beginning this year to strengthen the region's shark protection and management measures.
Even in Asia, where 90% of the world's shark fins are traded and consumed, we are seeing an emerging constituency, particularly from younger generations, advocating the shunning of this cruel and unsustainable food product.
On January 23, the weeklong traditional Lunar/Chinese New Year celebrations began.
The New Year is the most important festival amongst the Chinese communities across Asia and around the world. It is a special occasion for families, friends and businesses to celebrate the coming of the New Year with elaborate and celebratory dishes, such as shark fin soup.
Advocates in China and elsewhere in Asia, such as Singapore & Malaysia, have called for doing away with this unsavory tradition.
Dive Tribe are working hard with other Shark Conservation organisations to ask Thailand Government to follow the rest of Asia and indeed the world in banning the practice & sale of Sharks Fins.
The event which took place on the 22nd January was a great success and made many headlines in Thailand and further a field.
The message is begining to make it self heard both by the public, governments and busines organisations through out Asia.
Dive Tribe will continue to campaign until sharks can swim safely with out fear of extinction. You can see pictures from the event HERE.

On welfare reducing technological change in a North-South framework
Northern firms with patented technology can export goods to Southern markets and incur tariff costs or choose FDI and avoid the tariff. We examine the welfare effects of intellectual property protection under this scenario. When it is beneficial to do so, the Southern government offers patent protection in order to induce FDI. We find that a technological improvement in the North can reduce Southern welfare. After a technological improvement, the South still prefers that North does FDI, however longer patent protection may be required to induce FDI which can result in an overall decrease of Southern welfare. Given this immiserizing effect of technological change, Southern countries may choose to adopt higher cost technologies. We also show that a more effective technology does not necessarily require a longer patent protection to induce FDI. Copyright 2009 , Oxford University Press.

'Not a Simple Joke': LARB Review of Paul Legault's Emily Dickinson Reader
At the Los Angeles Review of Books, Paul Legault's The Emily Dickinson Reader is given a proper review by Alexandra Socarides, who describes the translation project as "a joke." But a good one:
That being said, Legault's is not a simple joke, and, like all complicated jokes, it addresses much more than we recognize at first. In fact, by the time I got about 50 "translations" in, I had moved past my initial impression — that Legault was simply trying to paraphrase Dickinson's dense and enigmatic poems in a witty, and sometimes snarky, way. He does do that some of the time, but he also understands Dickinson well enough to capitalize on her poems' greatest strengths: their linguistic complexity, their indeterminate subjects and referents, their ability (and downright invitation) to be read "slant." In this way, Legault couldn't have picked a better writer to work with, and Dickinson meets him more than halfway.
Socarides also notes that the matching Dickinson's depth of thought with Legault's simpler conducting starts aesthetically, in the cover and design of the book itself:
Upon first glance it is a very stately book, printed in hardback with a royal blue cover and gold-edged paper. The title, subtitle, and author's name appear in a font that connotes both seriousness and precision; a delicate yellow ribbon that hangs between the pages marks it as a book in which one will want to keep his or her place. Readers familiar with Dickinson's publication history will notice that the image on the cover of Legault's book is the same image of Indian Pipes (one of Dickinson's favorite flowers) that adorned her very first book of poems, which was published in 1890. But upon closer inspection, Legault's book doctors the image, inserting the arm of a skeleton that is reaching out of the grassy ground on which the Indian Pipes have long resided.
She goes on to delineate six ways of reading, including "You like Legault's lines just as they are," "Legault sends you back to Dickinson," "You immediately recognize the connection between Legault's line and Dickinson's poem and you are amused by it," "You like the idea, regardless of the corresponding poem, that Dickinson might be expressing such strange and bold ideas," and these:
You recognize that some of Legault's lines are so Dickinsonian that you wish Dickinson had written them herself.
For instance, "I tried to think of what the saddest thing in the world was so long that I became it" (570). Or, maybe even better is 695: "I cannot access what I need to survive, and I like it that way." It is in these lines that Legault fully captures Dickinson's strange and seemingly contradictory emotional inclinations, proving that he knows this writer inside out.
Every now and then, you feel that Legault actually writes something that, for whatever reason, Dickinson could not articulate herself.
For instance, 165: "I'm passive-aggressive. I hold my emotions in, so when they do come out, they destroy everything in their path, and they will destroy you, and you should probably run, or I will destroy you." This is a characterization of herself that Dickinson would never have made. Instead she wrote, "I have a little shape — it would not crowd your Desk" and "I am small, like the Wren." So when the future poet, Legault, writes such a bald characterization of Dickinson and puts it in her voice, it is powerful because it reminds us of Dickinson's often disingenuous poses.
When I first heard of Legault's book, I was skeptical, both of the impulse behind the project and the format. I wondered why he hadn't included Dickinson's poems along with his texts and I rolled my eyes at the idea that he did all 1,789 of them; the joke would surely wear thin. Even if you liked a few, why would you ever read the entire book? I emerged from my reading, however, with the realization that while this project may have started as a joke and may occasionally border on gimmick — reproducing the famous image of Dickinson several times throughout the book, each with a cheeky caption — it turns out to be a complex appropriation of this already very complicated writer. I ultimately understood that the book works better without the inclusion of Dickinson's actual poems, which would have forced readers to approach Legault's lines only in a one-to-one relation to the originals. To be honest, the only point at which I was frustrated with this book was when reading the "Translator's Note," where Legault doesn't do justice to how interesting his project is. Here he seems unsure whether he is justifying his project (he quotes Dickinson's editor, Franklin, on the idea that "a literary work is separable from its artifact") or excusing the more extravagant aspects (Dickinson as zombie!) of his joke.
It should be clear by this point that I got a tremendous amount out of Legault's "translations," partially because they taught me about Dickinson, the nature of paraphrase, and contemporary verse, but maybe more importantly because they taught me something about reading. . . .

From Post staff reports
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The NAIA has named Cumberland senior third baseman Matt Greener the 2010 Rawlings-NAIA National Player of the Year.
Greener becomes the first Bulldog to win Player of the Year honors since the awards' inception in 1983.
He is hitting .380 (5-for-13) with one home run and four RBIs during the World Series and has helped the Bulldogs reach the tournament finals.
During a season that has seen Cumberland go 57-9 and make its 11th World Series, Greener has been an instrumental part of the success. On the year, he led the NAIA in hits (112) and RBIs (95) and tied for first in home runs (26).
In 241 at-bats, the product of Jupiter, Fla., hit .465 with 26 doubles. Greener has played in 64 of the team's 65 games this season. He has 37 multi-hit games, including 13 of three or more base knocks.
He began the season on an 11-game hitting streak and amazingly, he has recorded a hit in 59 of the 64 games that he has appeared in.
Greener is one of four Bulldogs on the All-America first team, including pitcher Shawn Schaefer and outfielders Troy Frazier and Kris Miller giving CU the most First Teamers of any school this year. Junior RHP Aaron Wilkerson was a second team All-America pick.

Drupal's on Steroids and It's Disrupting the Enterprise [Oct. 17, 2013]
DENVER, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine one of the largest school districts in the country reducing their software costs from $90 a student to $1 per student. By creating a complete set of applications built on Drupal, and replacing or repurposing licensed tools, the district would be able to reduce 50+ different applications down by over half, while simultaneously adding substantial new features and functionality, all with a single, main interface for 800,000 students and 84 schools. With one Drupal platform there is less maintenance, less training needed, and fewer updates… plus, an ongoing savings of millions of dollars a year.
Web development companies like NewMedia in Denver are putting Open Source tools like Drupal on steroids to create transformative enterprise solutions for school districts, state governments, and large companies. They are pushing the boundaries of where Drupal can go in the enterprise and changing how business looks at open source software.
Steve Morris, Director of Business Development at NewMedia says, "Drupal itself cannot run a billion dollar enterprise, but it can link together and control the things that do and interface many of those things along the way. It can be a stand-alone entity that does things all by itself or a connector for five other entities, so they can all work together. It can be a controller of five other entities and run them all at once, by modifying it in new and previously unintended ways. That's the flexibility of Drupal."
NewMedia has been pumping up recent projects with Drupal both as a framework and/or a component for complex enterprise needs:
- The University of Colorado was introduced to Drupal when NewMedia redeveloped their 7000 page static website with it, and the experience has dramatically changed how CU operates its websites ever since. What used to take 5 full-time people to maintain, now takes one person 20 hours per week, and CU has gone on to become a recognized leader in Drupal among educational groups.

Russ Hamstring Video Series:
"My EPIC Last Blackhead & Whitehead Popping Video"
Attention fans,
Due to the nature of my videos and the lack of standards and incomplete policies of YouTube, I will no longer be making my videos. As most of you know, my original account was banned and another is on the verge of being banned. Sometimes I win appeals and other times I don't. There is no clear policy on pimple popping videos and for a video to get banned someone has to lie on the YouTubes flag form and a YouTube employee puts it through. This is why I will no longer be making videos. Please know that I will still be around answering comments until my last accounts are banned and I still will be updating and replying through my website zitmeister.com. Thank you all for watching my videos and thank you all for the nice comments. Please enjoy my last video.

Hyundai agrees to settle fuel-economy suits
Hyundai Motor Co. has agreed to settle several suits centered on the fuel economy of several models of its cars.
Hyundai and Kia sued over gas mileage claims
Last week, automakers Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on some of their cars. And this week, consumers have responded.
Hyundai sued over claims about car's fuel economy
With gas prices inching toward $4 a gallon around the country, American drivers aren't shy about voicing their concerns over a vehicle's fuel economy—as demonstrated in yet another lawsuit against an automaker.
Small claims victory against Honda overturned
Heather Peters deviated from the norm in January when she opted out of a class action suit against Honda over the automobile maker's hybrid cars failing to meet consumers' expectations on gas mileage.
Litigation: The precarious relationship between class actions and small claims courts
Companies seeking to defeat class certification may learn the principle of unintended consequences
Honda owner takes company to small claims court
Rather than join a proposed class action suit against Honda over the gas mileage on its Civic Hybrid, one unhappy customer has decided to take the Japanese automobile maker to small claims court.

I have no inspiration this week at all. Sigh. Will keep thinking and thinking and then think again

Congrats on your win Teri. I tried to think outside the box however it looks really tacky, so I'll jump back in the box and try and come up with something else.

Great entries so far.

Congratulations on your win Teri & Ali too for the vintage theme on Camera House Photo Friday. It is nice to see so many of you having success there!
I had quite a few ideas this week, trying to keep away from the cliche. Hope this meets your creative brief - I'll be awaiting my brownie Teri. Some of those in your photo will be nice! Think they will post well to SA?

Wow some fantastic entries.
Here is my entry for the week. I am afraid I didn't capture the beaches beauty. It looks 1000 times better in real life. So my love this week is Hymas beach. Every time I go there I feel like I am in paradise!

mummy26: I had to look at your photo a second time before I noticed the work love in the shoe laces ... I'm a bit slow sometimes! Great shot, very creative.
Peanut: OH MY GOD, I'm meant to be on a diet and was so pleased that I hadn't succumbed to temptation and had lost 11 kgs but then I went straight out after seeing your photo and found myself ordering a brownie with a coffee for DH because he should have one ... and then I proceeded to eat it! Your pic is quite literally mouth-watering!
rbat: I have tried this before but with pencils and it turned out terrible. Love this, you've made it look perfect.
silverwattle: That's my idea of heaven! What a gorgeous beach, if you didn't capture it as nice as it really is then it must be pretty spectacular because that's a great photo.
wink wink: Did you make that?? What a fabulous cake!
Mine is just a quick entry this week. Even with Valentine's Day I was feeling uninspired but while out doing a run I saw this plaque on a park bench and thought there is no greater love than one you can still feel in your heart after death. Luckily I do my runs and hikes with my camera in my backpack
Love ... even after death do us part.

I'm good at regular background Bokeh but never tried with the cutout shape type. Didn't work like I was hoping and will have to experiment more to find out why, but here is my effort made with an old tissue box!

Last minute entry - and a disappointing one to boot
I find that the week DH is away I barely have time to keep my house and kids under control let alone take a pic. So these are the cup cakes my boys and I made for ourselves on valentines day. They're the loves of my life along with their dad and we were all a little sad not to have him home with us this week.

Okay, thanks for taking part in the challenge ladies, its a pleasure as always to see the wonderful creativity and fun that goes into your images!
Mummy26, I've always loved the "laces" shot, it's so simple but so effective! The contrast between the wooden floor and the red stripy shoes is just lovely too. I said it in FB but congrats on your win last week too!
Peanut, why oh why did you bake these and not stop at one….?
Rbat, love the DOF, the lighting and perspective, I'm glad you chose to go with this one rather than the other. I like the other one too but this one is far more interesting!! It would take me ages to get the matches correct though, I'd probably wobble too much trying to get them perfect!
Silverwattle, oh that beach looks heavenly, I can almost hear the squeaking of the sand under my feet! Beautiful colours between the sky and the sand too!
Winkwink, I hope N had a wonderful birthday and that cake is just AMAZING!! Good job Mum!
Kee-in-Hawaii, I always stop to read the plaques on benches etc because they are always beautiful sentiments of love! It looks like its been there awhile, I wonder if Jim and Patricia are reunited and watching the view together?
Blue4me, great effort and yes, I can see the word! I have never tried to create shaped bokeh either, it looks too fiddly for me!
Raven74, we are big fans of Timmy (and Shaun) in this house! I like the bokeh and the natural setting, beautifully done.
TopsyTurvey, what a creative shot, it took me a minute or so to realise that it was a book that you'd used to frame the sun. Well done!
LittleC, Ooh, so cute!! Nice perspective and mix of colours in the ducklings, great shot. I must remember to show my DD this photo in the morning, she'll love it!
Bryden, don't be disappointed because it's a wonderful shot of some delicious looking cupcakes! Are those ladybugs chocolates and if yes, where did you get them? I have a friend whose DD loves ladybugs and they would make the perfect gift for her!
What lovely photos this week ladies, thanks for participating in the challenge. I loved all of the photos but I think the winner is something that we can all relate to, the things we do for those we love the most, our kids! Our winner this week is:
I just loved your cake and the bright colourful photo!
I think everyone deserves brownies after that effort, shame there aren't any left!
Posted 18 February 2013 - 08:56 PM
Congrats winkwink , and your comments on you own photo cracked me up Teri

Congrats Wendy!! Thanks Teri, love your comment to yourself, hope you enjoyed them (I am on a ketogenic diet and you tempted me)
Posted 19 February 2013 - 12:18 AM
Oh wow how exciting, thank you Teri. It was very time consuming but so worth the effort to see the expression on his face.
I will be back in the morning to post the next theme.

Armenia, Israel Review Tenuous Relationship
YEREVAN (RFE/RL) — Senior Armenian and Israeli diplomats discussed the sometimes uneasy relationship between their countries during two days of consultations that ended in Yerevan on Tuesday.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry said the two negotiating teams were headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakossian and Pinchas Avivi, a high-level Israeli Foreign Ministry official coordinating ties with Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
"During the consultations the two sides discussed issues related to Armenia-Israel cooperation, developments taking place in the Middle East and South Caucasus regions as well as other issues of mutual interest," read a ministry statement. It gave no details of those discussions.
Although the statement described the talks as "regular," they are understood to be connected with Kirakossian's July 25 phone conversation with Israel's Deputy Foreign Ministry Danny Ayalon.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that Ayalon "thanked Kirakossian for the friendly relationship and mentioned the historical ties and cultural similarities between the two nations."
"Ayalon emphasized the importance Israel attaches to the continuous development of diplomatic relations and practical cooperation with Armenia," the ministry said in a statement. "He further stated that it would be his pleasure to visit Yerevan, and invited Kirakossian to visit Israel."
Ayalon also "reiterated the special sensitivity we, as Jews, feel regarding the Armenian tragedy," the statement added in reference to the Armenian Genocide. Successive Israeli governments have resisted calls to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Support for such recognition appears to have grown within the Israeli parliamen over the past year, however. Diplomatic sources in Yerevan say that Ayalon phoned his Armenian counterpart to address the Armenian government's unease over Israel's growing ties with Azerbaijan, which was communicated to another Israeli diplomat earlier this summer.
One source said that Ayalon denied reports that quoted him as saying in May that Israel will not recognize the Armenian Genocide because of Azerbaijan's importance for his country.
Avivi, who served as Israel's ambassador to Turkey from 2003-2007, and other Israeli diplomats accompanying him visited Tsitsernakabert memorial on Tuesday.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman held up the Azerbaijani-Israeli ties as a model for cooperation between the Jewish state and a Muslim nation when he visited Baku in February 2010. He also reportedly voiced support for Azerbaijan's "territorial integrity." In what may have been an attempt to soothe Yerevan, Ayalon contradicted those remarks in his phone call with Kirakossian.

Instagram's Cinema stabilization tested against pro software... and wins
0. phoneArena posted on 21 Jun 2013, 18:45
Just in case you weren't annoyed enough that Instagram's new Cinema stabilization software for video was available only on iOS and not Android, the crew over at TechNewsDaily decided to put the software to the test and see how Cinema fared against Vine, as well as professional video software. And, Instagram actually won...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. lukasound (Posts: 152; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
you can't compare on the fly stabilization to premiere... when done on the fly, the software uses more of the sensor than what is used while recording. that's how the image is cropping around pixels on the sensor and looks better than premiere that uses temporal pixel tracking and 3d vector predictions on the already ruined sensor data... that is a completely different way of doing this and sometimes provides better results, sometimes worse, depending on the settings and the type of footage.

I'd rather have physical OIS and load my media to Facebook where all my acquaintances can already see it without getting yet another account. This just crops the video to make it look stabilized. Lame.

With a donation of more than $100,000, two Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumni have established a scholarship fund for those living in the northern counties of Pennsylvania.
This donation provided by Paul and Susan Miller '74 will go toward thousand-dollar scholarships, which will be awarded to students who are residents of the Pennsylvania Northern Tier counties: McKean, Potter, Tioga, Lycoming, Cameron, Clinton and Elk. Scholarships from the fund will be awarded beginning in 2015 and will be renewable for up to three years.
"Having a scholarship that is region specific makes it possible for students from those areas who may not have considered coming to IUP in the past to have an opportunity to attend the university," said Bill Speidel, vice president for University Advancement.
"We need to have scholarships to encourage the best and the brightest students to come to IUP, particularly one like this that is geared toward a geographic area."
This scholarship fund will benefit students in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the Eberly College of Business who hold at least a 3.2 GPA.
Dr. Deanne L. Snavely, dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, said she is excited to have a new scholarship and appreciative of the Millers' generosity.
"Students always need support to help pay for their education, and I know that many students have to work," Snavely said. "Their parents are working and sacrificing to help pay for their education. The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Miller will be greatly appreciated by the students and their families."
Zachery Chandler (junior, business education) said he believes students in the Northern Tier deserve this scholarship opportunity.
"As someone who resided and graduated from McKean County, I know for a fact that there are many deserving students in the Northern Tier who would greatly benefit from the opportunity being afforded by the Millers," Chandler said in an email interview.
"I personally am grateful for their donation to afford my peers back home the opportunities that so many in the Northern Tier don't receive: a college education."
Although IUP is a state-funded school, only 29 percent of the overall budget is provided by the state, according to the IUP website.
In the fiscal year 2012-13, 6,947 IUP graduates made donations totaling more than $6 million to the university, according to the 2012-13 Summary of Giving.
The university is always appreciative when alumni give back to their alma mater, Speidel said.
"Here is a couple that saw fit to invest their hard-earned dollars into IUP to allow students to come here and receive the educational experience that they had," Speidel said. "It certainly sends a strong message to alumni of how important it is to give back."
The Northern Tier Scholarship is the second donation to IUP's science and mathematics department to be revealed this month. A donation toward a new facility for the department was made by Tim and Debra Cejka '73.

sanford holst, author, historian - official web site
Best known for his popular history books about societies around the world, Sanford Holst has always been a bit of an explorer and adventurer. Those interests help bring his books to life. As reviewer Pam Mooney noted: "The personalities, values, loves, fears and motivations of the citizenry come through in his telling -- more so than any other accounts I have read."
Sanford's journeys and writings have taken us to the Greeks and Phoenicians in the idyllic ancient Mediterranean, the knights of turbulent Medieval Europe, the health practioners of old Asia, and the changing world around us in the present day.
His many speaking engagements are fueled by all those travels and writings, providing an endless stream of intriguing stories and discoveries from around the world. In the BBC program Ancient Worlds he was able to take the experiences of the adventurous Phoenicians who lived long ago and make it seem as though we were on their cedar boats as they sailed to Greece, Spain, Morocco Egypt, and unexplored lands to ply their trade of rich purple cloth, jewelry and perfumes.
Sanford's talks at universities in the USA and overseas are usually accompanied by academic papers. That work resulted in his being elected to the Royal Historical Society in England. On the Internet, his informative websites are read by more than half a million people each year.
His recent explorations took him back to Greece to explore its Golden Age and ancient Athens -- and that of course led to his latest book. Going beyond the usual looks at Classical Greek leaders, he discovered personal moments that revealed these individuals in ways that made them seem like real people to us. The personal diffuculties they had to deal with have made their memorable works even more spectacular.

"We all do better with the help of good friends. I warmly thank the many caring people who have given me the benefit of their efforts and support all these years. You know you can call on me whenever the need arises. May you all enjoy the best life has to give!"

LAKE CRYSTAL, Minn. - With the help of an 18-year-old bystander, a Minnesota police officer was able to rescue a woman from a car fire sparked by lightning.
Anna Smith called police for help when her car stalled out on the highway. Officer Chris Burban received the call from dispatchers and headed toward Smith and her car.
However, shortly after the first call, Burban was told that Smith called back, saying her car was struck by lightning and engulfed in flames.
Dashboard camera footage shows a ball of flames around Smith's car when Burban arrived at the scene. Burban can be seen in the video rushing to the car, looking in the driver's side window and then running around to the passenger's side.
Moments after Burban showed up, 18-year-old Michael Smith ran across the road to help Burban punch out the window and get Smith out. The two of them managed to pull Smith out of the car and run to safety.
All three people had a few minor cuts but no major injuries.

Seal Wins 'Most Depressing' Costume
Halloween was always Seal and Heidi Klum's holiday. In 2010, they were the Silver Surfer and his alien space lover whose tits he can't stop silver-grabbing, and the year after that they wore anatomically correct ape costumes that still have me convinced Rick Baker is tied up in Heidi Klum's basement where she hits him with a whip and screams, "Scheisse, SCHEISSE!" at him. But now that there's divorce, here's Seal showing up to a Halloween party with his date who's clever costume idea was, "Hey, you're black. We'll be basketball players." Which had to be depressing, but then again, maybe she blew him afterward without going into his camera room. Probably shouldn't rule that out.

BOSTON — It seemed like months ago when Mickael Pietrus tumbled to the deck in Philadelphia, suffering a Grade III concussion and spending the better part of the next week away from the Celtics because the light and noise were too much for him to handle.
On Sunday, with those same 76ers in town only a little more than two weeks since his fall, Pietrus made another appearance at the TD Garden as Celtics coach Doc Rivers relayed more good news about Pietrus' road to recovery.
"He looked good," Rivers said. "Personality-wise, he's talking and talking loud again. That's a good sign."
Sometime in the past few days — Rivers was not sure exactly when — Pietrus underwent the first test he needed before he can be cleared to play. The NBA this season instituted a more stringent policy concerning the treatment and recovery time of head injuries.
Rivers has said he expects Pietrus to be back in time for the playoffs.

The drama "Shin Minami no Teio" ("New Emperor of Minami"; Fuji, Tue., 10 p.m.) is based on a popular comic about a charismatic moneylender in Osaka. Shinsuke Daito plays Ryuichi, a young man who is determined to meet Ginjiro (Chihara Junior), the legendary moneylender of the Minami district. Ryuichi admires Ginjiro for his manly attributes. Despite the fact that some people refer to him as a loan shark, he's honorable, strong and loyal. The younger man begs Ginjiro to hire him as one of his men.
Ryuichi is assigned the case of Imamiya (Shigeru Uchida), a banker who can't seem to turn a profit and thus risks dismissal. Breaking under pressure from his sarcastic bosses, Imamiya borrows money from Ginjiro and pretends it's money he made through honest banking.
The documentary showcase "Sennyu! Riaru Sukopu" ("Immersion! Real Scope"; Fuji, Sat., 11:25 p.m.) travels to a village in China where all 8,000 residents are painters. And they're not ordinary painters, but oil painters who copy world-famous works of art for commercial sale. The village is authorized by the government, and the copies of famous works by Picasso, Van Gogh and others are sold for as little at ¥900 a piece.
The artists also work on original paintings from their own imagination. Some of the copies are brought to the Tokyo studio and examined by laypeople and experts, who have a tough time believing that they're replicas. Since some of the paintings are still covered by international copyrights, there are problems in selling the copies for profit.
CM of the week
Daiichi Pachinko: Many washed up stars extend their brand value by lending their names to pachinko game manufacturers, who produce machines with their likenesses attached. In 2007, Daiichi launched a line of machines based on idols from the 1970s and '80s, starting with the duo Pink Lady and Taiwan chanteuse Teresa Ten. Their biggest hit was Akina Nakamori, who with her smoldering voice suggested the kind of sexual potential burikko (overly coy and cute) idols like Seiko Matsuda couldn't achieve.
Akina's Utahime (song princess) series for Daiichi has been revived for a second round, and the TV commercials show the singer, dressed in an elegant evening gown, standing on high bluff against a blue sky, singing one of her later hits. From above, a pair of claws descend and lift her up by the waist, carrying her off the bluff as she continues singing. When the camera moves back, the claws are revealed to belong to one of those UFO Catcher machines popular in game arcades.
Suddenly, the claws open and Akina plunges into the new pachinko machine bearing her name. It's a living.

There's now only a week until the Huawei P9's official launch, scheduled for April 6. Can't hurt if we get to know a few more bits in advance though, this time courtesy of AnTuTu. The benchmark maker has listed the upcoming Huawei flagship, complete with specs and test results.
Huawei P9 on AnTuTu (click for full size)
The concise specsheet names just the basics, among them a Kirin 955 chipset with Mali-T880 MP4 GPU, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Display resolution is quoted to be FullHD, and previous info points to a 5.2-inch diagonal.
As you probably know, the P9 will have a dual-camera setup on the back. You may think that the "8MP + 13MP" entry in the camera field indicates the resolutions of those two cameras, but no - that's AnTuTu's customary way of specifying front and rear cameras.
We're also given a glimpse into the P9's performance. The 96,043 score is nothing spectacular in today's world where the Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 go upwards of 130K. It is, nonetheless, an improvement over the regular Kirin 950 inside the existing Huawei Mate 8.
Firstly, I didn't ask for comment. Secondly, it is overpriced because it doesn't provide adequate performance for the the price. You love exaggerating,huh? Huawei devices are definitely not half the price of Samsung devices. Also, you can deny it as ...
Lol nah, your iPhone and/or Samsung you mostly have is the overpriced crap, especially iPhone, their sh!t is so overpriced.
Are you kidding me? Huawei make the best nexus phone so far....so im guessing you are just trolling here lol

Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 11/20/1999
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Salmonella enteritidis (SE) is an important pathogen for the layer industry, primarily because of its ability to infect hens and ultimately contaminate egg contents. Studies have shown that stress situations such as flock recycling (induced molting) can increase SE problems in the flock. Studies were conducted which examined the use of antibiotics and competitive exclusion (CE) in reducing SE problems during a molt. The treatment comprised of oral administration of enrofloxacin (Baytril; 10 mg/kg/day in drinking water) for 10 days followed by 2 doses of oral CE (Aviguard) treatment at 48 and 96 hours. The birds were examined for SE shedding 4 and 10 days following the completion of therapy. The SE shed rate was 33% and 25% in untreated birds 4% and 0% in the Baytril/Aviguard birds on the two test days. These results indicate that treatment of SE- positive laying hens postmolt with Baytril and CE cultures can substantially reduce SE problems due to molting and would be a good alternative to diverting eggs for pasteurization or slaughtering the infected flock.

After she got out of jail, Amanda Logue came home to her husband in Georgia. She had taken off with a boyfriend and gone to Florida, where a man ended up dead. Logue, a 28-year-old thin, blonde, blue-eyed mother and sex fetish model, was a suspect in his murder. She was the last one to see him alive, as she had been paid to have sex with him and two other people.
On Sunday in Leesburg, Ga., 300 miles north of the mess in Florida, she and her husband went to church. She walked to the altar, crying.
"Please God, save me," she said, according to her friend, Darryl Dobbs, who was there with her. "I want to do right by you."
After that she seemed like a new person, Dobbs said. She prayed and read her Bible. She and her husband reconciled.
"They were the happy family again," Dobbs said.
But the past she left in Florida came to her house Thursday with a warrant for her arrest. Authorities say she crushed a man's skull with a sledge hammer and stabbed him multiple times, after exchanging gleeful text messages with her boyfriend in anticipation of the killing.

On May 16, a relative found Dennis "Scooter" Abrahamsen dead on a massage table in his house on Sycamore Drive in New Port Richey. The 41-year-old burly biker and tattoo parlor owner hosted a sex party at his house the night before, according to court documents. Blood spatter from the violent attack sprayed the walls and ceiling fan.
Authorities said that while Logue was inside "servicing" Abrahamsen, her boyfriend — Jason Andrews, then 26 — waited outside, both sending text messages to each other. Logue said Abrahamsen was drunk.
Court documents detail the conversation between the couple's BlackBerrys:
Andrews: "Gotcha. Ill try and get comfy. May be here a bit! :)"
Andrews: "I'm so glad you're really commited to this take. Keep eyes for a knife, etc for me!"
Logue said the other couple was getting ready to leave and that she's not giving up.
Andrews: "I know bab. I've got your back. I'm just excited!"
Logue wrote that she wanted to have sex with Andrews "after we kill" Abrahamsen.
Andrews said he was going to get out of the truck soon.
Andrews: "Just get him on his face either bash or tell me to get in and where to go."
Logue: "I'm going to start massage in a min."
She said she couldn't find any knives. She hadn't seen inside Abrahamsen's safe. She was getting him to play music to cover the sound. Andrews said to not rush.
Andrews: "You just get him relaxed and face down... Ill just be waiting.
"Really. Take. Your. Time."
• • •
On May 17, authorities say Andrews spent $409.31 on the dead man's Home Depot credit card. The next day, Andrews and Logue were arrested on charges of stealing $67.97 worth of clothes from Beall's in Largo — despite allegedly taking $6,000 in cash from Abrahamsen's house, along with digital and video cameras and a laptop.
This was the first arrest in Florida for both of them.
At the Pinellas County Jail, a detective questioned Logue about Abrahamsen's murder. She "admitted to being a paid prostitute," records state, and denied having any involvement in the killing — although she admitted to wearing rubber gloves found with the murder weapon in a clothes hamper at Abrahamsen's house. She said he was sleeping on the massage table when she left.
Logue was released from jail shortly after her shoplifting arrest and headed home to Georgia.
Andrews was released May 19. He has not been charged in Abrahamsen's murder, and is not in custody, said Kevin Doll, spokesman for the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
When a detective talked with Logue on Wednesday in Georgia, Logue said Andrews killed Abrahamsen after seeing her have sex with him in a hot tub. Logue said after murdering Abrahamsen, Andrews "grabbed the back of her hair then twisted her arm behind her back," court documents state. Logue said Andrews forced her to look at the man's "crushed skull and told her that's what would happen to her if she told anyone."
Logue is charged with first- degree murder and is being extradited to Pasco County, Doll said.
Dobbs, who lives with Logue and her husband in Georgia, said Logue dreamed of being a model. Her bio on model mayhem.com said "I do mostly glam, foot fetish, pantyhose fetish, bondage and bikini or swimwear."
Dobbs said Logue has a 9-year-old daughter from her first marriage.
"She's a sweet person," said Dobbs, 46. He said everything was fine until Andrews came into the picture.
"When the devil pops his head in, we succumb to what the devil wants us to do," Dobbs said.
"And I believe that boy is the devil."

A Long Island City car dealer has been arrested after allegedly bilking the state out of more than $1.2 million in sales tax, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
Michael Silverstein, 54, of Alpine, N.J., is the owner and president of Crest Auto Leasing and Metro Auto Leasing at 42-06, 42-08 and 42-10 27th St. in Long Island City.
Silverstein appeared in Queens Criminal Court Friday on charges including possession of stolen property, grand larceny, violation of tax law, falsifying business records and offering a false instrument for filing. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison, the DA said. His next court date is March 30.
"When consumers pay sales taxes they expect those funds to go into the public treasury — not into the business owner's pockets," Brown said in a statement. "This is the type of crime that makes every New Yorker a victim by cheating the government and the public out of money that is especially needed during this continuing economic downturn."
Silverstein allegedly collected more than $1.2 million in sales tax from customers between Sept. 1, 1999, and Feb. 28, 2005, but did not forward it to the state Department of Taxation and Finance, the DA said.
Silverstein allegedly reported at least 13 sales as tax-exempt wholesale transactions that were actually retail sales, Brown said.
He is also accused of falsifying the vehicle identification numbers in his companies' books of registry.
Investigators found that 55 of the 59 vehicles allegedly bought and sold by Silverstein between Oct. 11 and Dec. 18, 2008, had VINs that did not conform to any existing cars. The alleged owners of the other four vehicles said they had not received the vehicles or done business with Silverstein's company, the DA said.
"Sales taxes collected by businesses and remitted to New York state help fund critical public services such as health care, education and transportation," state Taxation and Finance Commissioner Jamie Woodward said in a statement. "When a business steals these taxes, all New Yorkers carry an extra burden to make up the difference."

Amazon has revealed the simple yet nice cover art of Jordin Sparks' self-titled debut.
Amazon has revealed the cover art of Jordin Sparks' upcoming album. The debut album from the American Idol cycle 6 winner will be self-titled instead of the previously reported 'Madamoiselle'.
Apparently the title 'Madamoiselle' is one of the tracks that appear on the album. Rumor has it that the song will be a collaborative piece between her and either fellow Idol Blake Lewis or her favorite singer, Chris Brown.
'Jordin Sparks' will be released on November 20 via J Records. The first single 'Tattoo' will allegedly have its music video released in the coming weeks.
