Who knows when the happy moment will come, but when it does, Apple is ready to trumpet the news that a billion apps have been downloaded from the iTunes AppStore.
So says the Brazilian website Mac Magazine, anyway.
A reader, identified only as JOSZé claims to have discovered a counter embedded in Apple's website that, when advanced to the number 1,000,000,000 will return the page you see above.
As the editors at Mac Magazine said, "sorry to spoil the surprise."
Thanks to Rafael for the tip!
UPDATE: Rafael, from Mac Magazine, tells Cult of Mac the secret to revealing the waiting "Thanks a Billion" page lies in changing the time and date on your Mac to something in advance of the date you might expect the magic number to be reached. A recent check of the App Store's counter says more than 990,000,000 apps have been downloaded as of this writing.

BBC Review
Bassist, composer and bandleader gets the chance to dip into his back catalogue for...
Martin Longley 2002
Taking the road from Wolverhampton to London, Dave Holland soon found himself an integral part of the capital's free music scene in the middle 1960s. The bassist was discovered by Miles Davis whilst gigging at Ronnie Scott's in 1968, joining the trumpeter's band for three years and launching the main body of a Stateside career.
Now, Dave's accent is fully mid-Atlantic and his presence is imbued with that distinctively American larger-than-life glow. This compilation heralds the second wave of ECM's :rarum series, with tracks chosen by the individual artists, not only from their solo output, but often adding collaborative work as sidemen on the same label. The musicians also provide sleeve notes and privileged access to their personal photo archives.
Holland's relationship with ECM founder Manfred Eicher spans the label's entire existence, occupying both the personal and professional planes. The bassman/composer has highlighted his work as bandleader, apart from the opening onslaught of the Gateway trio's "How's Never". Their surly jazz-rock gives the genre a clean reputation, Jack DeJohnette making aggressive drum rolls, John Abercrombie spiralling guitar lines with caustic abandon, whilst Holland lays down a pugilistic foundation.
Dave started to concentrate on running his quartet and quintet line-ups in the early 1980s, and nearly all of this set comes from the last two decades. Numbers like "You I Love", "Four Winds" and "Homecoming" have become fully embedded as charismatic tunes, and should really have become modern standards by now. The first is a bustling, hyperactive, joint blowing sequence, coming straight out of Ornette, particularly when listening to Steve Coleman's flighty alto unravellings. The second has a slippery, curvaceous melody, with Steve spotlighted once again, this time in a trio setting. The third is the best of all, proudly stomping down the Mingus stairway to heaven.
Holland applies the same kind of dynamism to his solo cello work on "Inception", whilst the current quintet's "The Balance" seems positively cool-school by comparison, the players capitalising on their liberal solo space. Cassandra Wilson intones deeply during "Equality", interpreting a poem by Maya Angelou. Kevin Eubanks stands proud on "Nemesis", his surging solo imparting more of a rock-blues feel. "Prime Directive" is another recent piece, involving the quintet's fast interaction, springily negotiating another substantial theme.
Holland has followed a wise path in choosing a contrasting spread of settings, the standard of work being as high as might be expected from this towering figure.

I use the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine as my Leave In. Then I use my homemade Flaxseed gel (Boil 1cup water + 2tbsp Flax seed, strain & keep in fridge). This gel gives definition and light hold, but it is sooooooo moisturizing, when I wet my hair before my CO wash, it is sooooooo soft.
But let me warn you the gel is a bit on the runny side so I mix it in with my leave-in. For my second day hair I use a little Fantasia IC gel (clear) to smooth things out. I will post some pics of my second day hair today.

Researchers have found that males usually hit others with the intent to coerce or punish; women, by contrast, are likely expressing distress when they hit others. It's almost the opposite intention: speaking in generalities, men hit to establish their power, while women hit to express their powerlessness.
Then there's Hillary Clinton.

In this work we demonstrate an integrated microfluidic/photonic architecture for performing dynamic optofluidic trapping and transport of particles in the evanescent field of solid core waveguides. Our architecture consists of SU-8 polymer waveguides combined with soft lithography defined poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic channels. The forces exerted by the evanescent field result in both the attraction of particles to the waveguide surface and propulsion in the direction of optical propagation both perpendicular and opposite to the direction of pressure-driven flow. Velocities as high as 28 μm/s were achieved for 3 μm diameter polystyrene spheres with an estimated 53.5 mW of guided optical power at the trapping location. The particle-size dependence of the optical forces in such devices is also characterized.

Mass Stabbing at Target Store
Time to register knives.
Cops: 4 stabbed in Pittsburgh Target store, including teen critically hurt; suspect arrested
By Associated Press, Updated: Monday, March 25, 4:17 PM
PITTSBURGH Authorities say four people have been stabbed inside a Target store in Pittsburgh, including a 16-year-old girl who is in critical condition.
Officers were called to the store in the East Liberty section of the city shortly after 5:30 p.m. Monday. Police say a suspect was arrested at the scene.
A hospital official says the teenage girl was taken to Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh in critical condition.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that other injuries were described as moderate to minor, and a police officer was treated for exposure to pepper spray.

Let me guess, they were fighting over hand gun bullets.... Jus say'n
Funny how you never hear that public outcry when some azzhat does something like this. It absolutely sickens me. Prayers sent for the girl and her family.
is it november already?
Antis can not see or understand our appreciation of firearms so they get to feel good by calling for bans on a product that they could not justify owning themselves...
Knives on the other hand, and pools, and cars, and household cleaners, and fists, and feet.... All items that kill far more people than guns but ALL items that EVERYONE has a use for. Ever notice how they like the term "Legitimate Use".
Missing from that report is the obligatory inventory of the residents...
"As the suspect was taken into custody, a team searched the home of the suspect. 27 knives of varying length and scariness were recovered...with no less than 19 in the kitchen area alone!" "It is obvious to authorities that many more assaults were planned"

I'd think about dumping the 'olympic' shots... bow and arrow, javelin, and discus.
Yeah, they're 'iconic', they're also sorta cliche, and IMHO they don't 'fit' well in a glamor nude portfolio.
Just my opinion.
PS - After looking at your portfolio again again, I realized those shots have the most 'views'. So I suppose they aren't going anywhere... oh well.

Revolutionary Marxist League
The Revolutionary Marxist League was a small Communist sect that existed from 1939 - 1940 in New York City. It was led be Karl Joerger and Antillio Salamme.[1] The origins of the RML lay in a group called the Marxist Policy Committee which was apparently a "stooge" group of Oehler supporters within the Trotskyist movement. The chairmen of this group, Becket, felt that their line was no different from that of the orthodox Trotskyites and quickly expelled them, and the MPC then rejoined the Revolutionary Workers League. Its ideological position consisted of a rejection of both Stalinism and Trotskyism, which it regarded as an inverted form of Stalinism. It was equally harsh in its denunciation of the various splinters from official Trotskyism:
"We cannot emphasize too much our position that we have nothing in common with the Trotskyite brand of Stalinism or any other inverted form of Stalinism. The various types of Trotskyites (Oehler, Field, Marlen, et al.) ..."
The RML published a mimeographed organ called Revolutionary Action. It apparently ran from Vol. I #1 1938 to Vol. II #1 February 1939.[3]
Around 1940 they merged with the Marxist Workers League, led by K. Mienov, to form a group called the Workers Party, which nevertheless seems to have been disbanded soon thereafter.[1]

Mobilizing Resources for Supporting Environmental Activities in Developing Countries: The Case of the GEF Trust Fund
Mobilizing sufficient resources is essential for supporting environmental activities in developing countries, and cofinancing is generally considered an important tool to help developing countries increase the resources they need. Moreover, cofinancing should increase ownership of projects by local authorities while improving accountability. The literature, however, has not explored why certain projects receive higher levels of cofinancing than others. This paper attempts to fill this gap by examining the cofinancing ratio and its determinants using projects financed by the GEF Trust Fund. The empirical results confirm that the rules of the fund, requiring different minimum cofinancing ratios by size and focal area of the GEF projects, do matter. Other important factors include funds' origins (foreign vs. domestic), types of cofinancing sources (reimbursable vs. non- reimbursable) and the particular GEF agencies involved.

J.J. Green, the sophomore star nickel back, practiced in a non-contact jersey Tuesday, but Georgia coach Mark Richt said he's likely to play in the G-Day game. Tight end Jordan Davis (sprained knee) remains out.
... Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray and tight end Arthur Lynch were at practice Tuesday as they gear up for next week's Pro Day workout.
... Richt said Georgia has done more special teams work this spring than in the past.
"We've even incorporated more punt team stuff into our scrimmage days, which normally we don't do that," Richt said. "We're doing more drills with the punt team versus the punt return and block team. We did that today to start the practice off, which was really good."
... Wide receiver Jonathon Rumph was excused from the early portion of practice while finishing up some academic work, Richt said.

(WBIR-Farragut) A new West Knox County coffee shop wants to send a message when they pour a cup of brew.
"The atmosphere, you know? You come in and hang out, drink coffee. And the staff is always here, to talk and even pray with you if you need help or anything," said Eric Kinder, the lead barista at Lighthouse Coffee and Teas.
He said when owner Debra Sparks started the shop three months ago, she wanted to incorporate 'higher grounds,' sort of speak.
"(Debra) was wanting to start a ministry based coffee shop. So the name 'lighthouse' think of it as a light in a dark area," Kinder said.
Proverbs and biblical quotes can be found all over the small shop, located near Watt Road.
Even though they're starting out, there are some goals for this business.
"The funds that are coming in, we would like to do mission trips with the staff, would be awesome," said Kinder.
Lighthouse Coffee and Teas is located at 12744 Kingston Pike. Their hours are Monday-Saturday: 7:30 am to 3:00 pm.

By DE Editors
Siemens PLM Software has released the latest version of the D-Cubed 2D Dimensional Constraint Manager (2D DCM), a software component that controls 2D parametric sketches in 2D and 3D design environments.
Some of the new features specific to version 57.0 include:
- Arc length dimension. Version 57.0 introduces a new driving dimension for constraining the distance along an arc between its end-points. In common with all other driving dimensions supported by the 2D DCM, the value of the arc length can be defined explicitly, or assigned a variable value which is computed with reference to other values (e.g. other dimensions in the sketch, values from a spreadsheet, etc.). The new functionality completes the 2D DCM's support for curve length dimensions, with elliptic segments, splines (NURBS curves) and evaluated parametric curves already being supported.
- Copy curves. Applications can now create copies of splines, parametric curves, and offset curves with reference to a parent curve and a transformation for each copy. This removes a previous requirement for applications to create duplicate data structures for these more complex curve types, which could use significantly more memory. In general, any constraint type that can be applied to the original curve can be applied to the copy and there is no order-dependence when solving constraints, so the shape of the parent curve can be defined by constraints on a copy curve.
- Identifying special underdefined cases. The 2D DCM provides comprehensive diagnostics, including whether a sketch has been fully constrained, or remains underdefined. However, in some special configurations, geometry may remain under-constrained even though the number of applied constraints would usually indicate that the sketch is fully constrained. Version 57.0 now identifies special cases of this kind, providing applications with more feedback about the status of such sketches.
The company has also announced the latest release of the D-Cubed Profile Geometry Manager (PGM), a software component that adds productivity tools to the 2D environment in 2D or 3D design and manufacturing applications. New functionality specific to version includes:
- Improved support for global trimming operations. In certain offsetting scenarios, non-adjacent edges in the offset loop will intersect, creating sub-loops. The PGM segments such offset edges into intersecting regions and non-intersecting regions so that the application can identify and draw the sub-loops. This is known as "global trimming," although the offset loop is actually preserved as a single intersecting loop in the PGM's data-structures. Version 57 introduces a new function that generates a new loop from each sub-loop. The availability of each sub-loop as a separate loop in the output from the PGM makes it easier for applications to use the results of these global trimming operations, according to the company.

Some years ago, the undersigned, Edwin H. Crosby III,took litigation to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding a " false & stigmatising coded number placed upon my person ".Called a SPN, or, SDN code.In court in 1978 the U.S. Attorney and a U.S.A.F. Col. Bruinooge testified to U.S. Federal Judge Edmund Port that Mr. Crosby should have received SDN-46A, Unsuitability, Apathy.Fact of the matter Mr. Secretary, a REPORT from the Comptroller General dated AUGUST 11, 1972, old REPORT NO:B164031(2), NEW Report NO:094041, tells us the USAF was using SDN-46A to discharge soldiers for DRUG ABUSE.The U.S. Attorney and Col. Bruinooge committed FRAUD UPON THE COURT, and perjured themselves.
In 1999, veteran Crosby submitted a CLAIM to the U.S. Air Force Board For Correction of Military Records.There was " legal precedent "from a court case at the U.S. Federal Claims Court,CASEYv.U.S.8 Cl.Ct. 234 (1985) .Judge YOCK ruled that a veteran with a " stigma " discharge involving a BAD reason for discharge, was in fact entitled to a Due Process of Law Hearing.Of course,upon discharge,Veteran Crosby was given NO DUE PROCESS Hearing, nor any notice of such a false and stigmatizing coded number being placed upon his DD-214.
Attached to this resolution request,please locate a letter from the Department of The Army, dated September 10, 2010, and addressed to U.S. Senator Richard Lugar.I call your attention to QUESTION 2.TITLE 10 U.S.C. Section 1552 gives you the authority Mr. Secretary to correct a military record, correct an error or remove an injustice.Moreover, you can authorise records to reflect the completion of period of service, which would result in payment of back pay and allowances.
Mr. Secretary, members of the U.S.A.F. have committed serious crimes involving this case/claim.A 536 page legal transcript in the Court of Veterans Appeals has been spoliated; Fraud Upon the Court and perjury committed; obstructing governmental administration; etc.It is quite possible with interest due,Veteran Crosby could be due many hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars.I wonder what kind of person would want this all aired in a Federal Court Room, when better heads can come to a reasonable negotiated settlement.
When this case would be filed in Federal Claims Court, all the criminal acts would be mentioned, what excuse can be given for failure to follow res judicata( an issue that has been definitively settled by judicial decision ) by your legal department ??
Veteran Crosby who re-enlisted in Vietnam, was discharged for failing to get down on his hands and knees and MOW an acre of grass with a pair of HAND CLIPPERS.In the least, we should be discussing the proper corrections of records, deprivation of civil rights, deprivation of UCMJ Rights, fulfilment of Due Process Rights, proper compensation for the duration of contracted duty, loss of re-enlistment opportunities and promotions, defamation of character, loss of civilian opportunities and earnings, USAF malicious intent, and damages.Through settlement discussion without a filed court complaint, we can save the taxpayers some money, preserve the image of the USAF, and settle these matters via a non-contentious manner- out of court.
Mr. Secretary,under the law,Title 10 U.S.C. Section 1552 YOU have the authority to settle this matter.In good faith,this resolution is submitted to you hoping to prevent the airing of dirty laundry in public.It is hereby requested Mr. Secretary that you respond to this resolution, whereupon, Veteran Crosby who has USAF stipulation that they gave veteran Crosby a false & stigmatising coded number, then failed to HONOR JUDGE YOCK'S decision in CASEYv.U.S.Mr. Secretary, please read the attached AUGUST 22, 2008, MOTION, CLEAR & UNMISTAKABLE ERROR submitted to YOUR BCMR.Once again, they make NO mention of the CASEYv. U.S. decision or a Due Process Hearing, or, correction of records as mentioned in the US ARMY response to Question 2.
Question 3 from the U.S. Army letter dated 09-10-2010 mentions destroying or altering a relevant document.Would you produce a copy of the letter in which USAF Personnel notified Justice Department Officials of SPOLIATION of a legal transcript submitted to " any Federal Court Clerk " ?That would be appreciated.
It is my belief Mr. Secretary that upon reading this missive, and reading both the U.S. Army letter of 09-10-2010 and the AUGUST 22, 2008, claim to USAF BCMR,that we can come to negotiated settlement without airing this matter in Federal Court.You clearly realize Mr. Secretary, this matter should have been settled years ago, in an Honorable manner.
This decorated combat veteran who was about to return to Vietnam for a 3rd tour, but ran into a group of anti-Vietnam Veterans who never served in combat.Veteran Crosby served his country with Honor, and should never have been stabbed in the back with a false and stigmatising coded number.I await your reply as to whether or not it's the courtroom,or we can settle this matter in an Honorable fashion via negotiations.You have the legal authority to do this.
Lastly, this resolution represents NO threat whatsoever.Makes NO blackmail attempt or extortion from the U.S. Air Force.It is merely an attempt to resolve a CLEAR & UNMISTAKABLE ERROR on part of U.S. Air Force Board For Correction of Military Records failing to follow res judicata,i.e.CASEYv.U.S.8 Cl.Ct. 234 (1985) without going to Federal Court.Secretary DONLEY does have the legal authority to settle this 30 year old LIBERTY issue.

General Discussion
Eales Disease is a rare disorder of sight that appears as an inflammation and white haze around the outercoat of the veins in the retina. The disorder is most prevalent among young males and normally affects both eyes. Usually, vision is suddenly blurred because the clear jelly that fills the eyeball behind the lens of the eye seeps out (vitreous hemorrhaging).

The small town of Riquewihr, located in northeastern France, is a locale that dates back to the 16th century.
The town holds a castle-turned museum that contains artifacts and the village is renowned for its wines. France is also home to jewelry brand Georland.
There are many jewelers, including Gurhan Orhan (Turkey), Jeramie Carter (Australia), and Orlando Orlandini (Italy), who in some way devote their handmade jewelry designs to the form or essence of a woman.
At nearly sixty years old, French fine jewelry brand, Georland, is full-on in its interpretation of femininity. Lithe forms of 18-karat yellow, white and pink gold embody romanticism.
The almost fleeting subtleties of 18-karat gold outlines are offset by gorgeous pavé sets of sapphires or white diamonds. Items from the brand's Infinity Collection are the very definition of posh elegance as intertwining loops weave into breathtaking arabesque designs.
Established by Henri Marteau in 1954, Georland enjoyed auspicious beginnings. In its first four years the company set up a New York branch office on 5th Avenue.
With its headquarters located in France's second arrondissement, known as Place Vendôme, the brand established a reputation for quality craftsmanship by creating illustrious jewelry collections for prestigious French jewelry houses. Due to these quiet associations Georland became known as the "discreet yet renowned brand."

As a result international orders began pouring in: jewelry set for a Middle Eastern King featuring rubies, emeralds and brilliant-cut diamonds; platinum, diamond and sapphire necklace for Princess Diana; and a jewelry set for Spain's Queen Sofia.
By the 1990s, under the guidance of Henri Marteau's sons, Jean-Gabriel and Stéphane, Georland's design and production departments were revamped to further solidify the brand's unyielding stance on quality.
"Georland masters every skill that constitutes fine jewelry making," says Romain Marteau, grandson of Henri Marteau who oversees the New York branch. "We start with gouache drawings and use CAD (Computer Aided Design) in order to give life to our creations and to make each piece absolutely unique.
Each stage: sketchings, mold making, polishing and stone settings require the utmost precision. Gem settings in particular are complicated because Georland's pieces are extremely delicate."
In 2011, after two years of reviewing its incredible inventory, Marteau administrators decided to launch jewelry collections created by Georland for Georland. The stunning collections of diamond necklaces, white gold bracelets and gold drop earrings reflect inspiration from nature to exotic travels.
Romain Marteau felt showcasing the brand's stunning inventory was a solid step forward. "Creating the Georland Private Collections becomes a self-evident development in our policy of continuity and growth. We strive for perfection and extreme beauty in our designs--designs that are ultimately feminine and wearable."
A small selection of items from Georland's collection is available for purchase at Ylang23.com.

The Roots of Romanticism
"With The Roots of Romanticism . . . we get another instalment of scintillating, elusive, paradoxical thought. . . . [T]his is a welcome addition to Berlin's ever-growing oeuvre."--Ben Rogers, Financial Times
"This small volume provides the distilled essence of Berlin and it provides wonderful examples of his technique: vast sentences in which a succession of parallel phrases draws out the meaning, inch by inch, and ends with a perfect rendering of the original clause upon which the reader has been left dangling for half a page, believing himself hopelessly lost. The experience is like waiting for an organist to resolve a mighty but elusive chord."--Anthony Smith, The Observer
"This is a book that would be as salutary a read for prime ministers and presidents as for those who see themselves as cultural critics. Berlin's writing exemplifies the need for understanding and tolerance in the face of the plurality of human needs and aspirations, and the incompatibility of human ideals."--Peter Mudford, The Times Higher Education Supplement
"These are not only wonderfully engaging lectures, but by now also a historical document of considerable importance.... What was so good about the way Berlin tackled Romanticism was that he allowed for the variety of ideas and attitudes that so marked the movement, but found a common theme in the antitheses with which so much of his work was concerned--Romanticism as anti-rationalism, anti-monism, anti-utilitarianism, and so on. That enabled him to do something that few other writers have brought off, which was to set each strand of romanticism in its own cultural setting."--Alan Ryan, New College, University of Oxford
"This book provides an excellent account of the topics that were to preoccupy Berlin throughout his life. . . . It is a history of ideas, wonderfully under control, always with the sense of how those ideas have impacted on other ideas and eventually on the contemporary period."--Tracy B. Strong, University of California, San Diego
"In a dark century, he showed what a life of the mind should be: skeptical, ironical, dispassionate and free."--Michael Ignatieff

KB Toys to begin liquidation sale tomorrow
Holiday timing called critical to success
- |
WILMINGTON, Del. - A Delaware bankruptcy judge yesterday authorized KB Toys to begin going-out-of-business sales.
Judge Kevin Carey granted the company's request after attorneys said they had resolved several concerns of landlords and creditors about rent and other issues.
The Pittsfield, Mass.-based company plans to start liquidation sales today, with a targeted end date of Feb. 9.
"I can see no better, other alternative," the judge said. "We're at a time of year where unless the going-out-of-business sales go forward now, there's hardly any sense in doing it."
Joseph McLeish of Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, which is working with KB Toys on the liquidation plan, told the court that the remaining shopping days between now and Christmas will be critical.
"We have a very finite period to liquidate this inventory. . . . The amount of business done between now and December 24th is absolutely critical to the success of the sale," McLeish said.
KB Toys, the nation's largest mall-based toy retailer, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week. The Chapter 11 filing allows the company to retain more control of its assets during the going-out-of-business sales than it would have under a typical Chapter 7 liquidation.
While approving the sales and accompanying advertising and signage plans, the judge denied authorization for KB Toys to hang a banner outside the exterior entrance of a mall store in San Diego, saying there was no evidence that that the banner could actually be seen from the road. Attorneys for the mall landlord and Gordon Brothers later agreed that the banner could be hung if they determined it would help draw traffic to the store.
The judge also approved KB Toys' request to pay store-closing bonuses of up to $1,500 to store managers and assistant managers to ensure that the liquidation sales proceed smoothly.
McLeish said that without the bonuses, the company likely would see a "mass exodus" of critical employees and a corresponding negative effect on store operations.
Joel Waite, an attorney for KB Toys, said last week that the company tried to find a way to plug a looming liquidity problem, but that the credit crisis and broad decline in consumer spending had a devastating effect on the company.
The company's seven-member committee of unsecured creditors is led by Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer Li & Fung, which is owed about $27.2 million, and El Segundo, Calif.-based Mattel Toys, with claims totaling $1.3 million.
Attorneys for the newly formed committee filed an initial motion challenging the Chapter 11 filing and the liquidation sales, but they later withdrew a motion to convert the case to Chapter 7. Waite said after Thursday's hearing that the concerns of the creditors committee had been resolved.
KB Toys, which emerged from an initial bankruptcy filing in 2005 as a subsidiary of investment firm Prentice Capital Management, has about $480 million in annual sales and roughly 10,800 employees, more than half of whom are temporary seasonal workers.
Clarification: An Associated Press story about the liquidation sale at KB Toys in yesterday's Business section contained incorrect information about one of the store's creditors. Li & Fung Ltd. is owed about $5 million.

Chips and Son do Seattle
Sam has been asking me all summer to take him to a Mariners game. On August 28 we caught game 2 of a crucial 3 game set with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim , Azusa, and Cucomanga. We also spent the day visiting the Experience Music Project and the Science Fiction Museum and did some roadfooding. Sorry,no pictures available.
Our day started at the Science Fiction museum with an exhibit of movie costunes and props from classic sci-fi movies and t.v. programs.There was the witch's hat from "The Wizard of Oz", jackets from Arnold and Robert Patrick from "The Terminator" films, Alec Guiness's robe, Mark Hamill's flight suit and light saber,Darth Vafer's suit from the "Star Wars"saga, the Superman suit from the t.v. series, the Blade Runner car, costumes from various "Star Trek" episodes, and Riddler and Batman costumes from the movies. It was an awesome collection and it was nerd heaven for a sci-fi buff like me.
The Experience Music Project had an excellent display on the music of Walt Disney films and its impact on film history. Informative and well put together.
Lunch was at Daly's Drive-In(reviewed on this site). The pictures there illustrate what we ate. I had a Copper River Salmon fillet sandwich that was simply the best fish sandwich I could ever hope to eat. Sam's Halibut Fish and chips were flakey, tender. Sam said it was the best he had ever had. The only sad note is that it appears the place will close in January.
The ballgame was a bummer. We arrived early so Sam could chase home-run balls but he did not get one.I had my favorite Safeco meal of an Ichiro combo of Sushi washed down by green tea.
The Mariners jumped off a 5 run lead in the first with 3 triples, 2 walks and a single adding up to 5 runs. But Angel reliever Dustin Moseley slammed the door. The Angels rallied for 10 runs(Vladimir Guerrero had 4 hits)and the day ended with a 10-6 Angels win. The Mariners have not won a game since this debacle. I enjoyed my time with Sam but I would have enjoyed it more with a Mariner win.

Too bad this was the 80's, but I lived in Bremerton, complements of Your Tax Dollars, for a year while in the Navy. What I loved most about Seattle was Mount Rainier, Ivar's on Puget Sound, Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe, and the fact that the Seahawks made the playoffs for the first time, and gave eventual champion Oakland-LA Traitors a run for their money.
I used to love the old Pilots and current Milwaukee Brewers until they built the zit in Miller Valley. I was born in Milwaukee back when the socialists made it the kind of city that had to sit out polls of the US safest and cleanest cities so someone else could win. And back when the Braves played in Milwaukee.

Sounds like you guys had a great time
Sad to hear that Daley's Drive Inn is closing. I too had the same sandwich that you had. I would have liked to have tried the the Halibut n Chips too. Do you know why they are closing?
Next time you are in Seattle, I am pleading-no begging you to check out Spud Fish n Chips- only the Juanita location in Kirkland which I believe is still the only originally owned one left. The one in Alki was sold to Ivar's and I understand has gone down hill.

mr chips-
That disappoints me to hear that Daley's Drive-in is closing. Like WJ asked, any idea why they are closing their doors? I ate there last year and had the burgers instead of one of the fish sandwiches, so my experience was not as good as yours. But, I was looking forward to making up for my mistake on my next visit.

The owner of Daly's is in his eighties and his daughter still manages the place, He is, however, ready to sell the place, so I assume we will see either a strip mall or condos.

At the OpenStack "Juno" Summit in Atlanta this week, more than 4,500 people packed the convention center to learn, share and experience the awesome that is the OpenStack community.
The Summit kicked off with standing room only keynotes from OpenStack Executive Director Jonathan Bryce and Rackspace Cloud Architect Troy Toman. In the crowd, there was huge excitement about how far we've come since 2010, as well as the opportunities and challenges we face moving forward.
Here are my three key observations from OpenStack Summit Atlanta:
Observation 1: There are more users than ever. They're big and they love private cloud.
Wells Fargo and Disney (and other household names) got on stage to profess their love for OpenStack and talk about how it's helping them move faster as a business:
"Inside of Disney I'm trying to lead a revolution to empower people with technology" @clauney #OpenStack
— Scott Sanchez (@scottsanchez) May 12, 2014
"If you give someone enough 'fast', they can make their own 'cheap' and 'good' by shrinking dev cycle" @clauney #OpenStack
— Scott Sanchez (@scottsanchez) May 12, 2014
"Using #OpenStack to enforce best practices and security is great for us" @glenndferguson @WellsFargo
— Scott Sanchez (@scottsanchez) May 12, 2014
Being able to get the public cloud experience of "it's fast, it's powerful and it just works" inside your own data centers is very powerful. Until recently, only a very small number of large organizations had the mindset and agility to take advantage of what cloud could do for them, public or private. That's changing, and it's changing quickly. While walking the halls, I made it a point to sneak a peek at as many badges as possible, and it was incredible to see some of the company names in attendance: big banks, big manufacturing, big retail, big government agencies, big entertainment and everything in between. Many of these companies will be on stage at future summits like Wells Fargo and Disney were this week. They'll talk about how OpenStack solves problems and helps their companies move faster!
Observation 2: Vendors aren't the only ones contributing.
Big users are becoming major contributors to the project because it means they can move faster as a company. I've spoken at length about getting your business off of someone else's roadmap, and OpenStack is the engine that helps you do that. Comcast has figured this out. The media and communications giant took the stage a few summits ago to show off what it's doing with OpenStack, and has since become one of the project's largest code contributors.
"Comcast has become one of the top 20 contributors to Icehouse release" @jbryce #OpenStack
— Scott Sanchez (@scottsanchez) May 12, 2014
And Comcast doesn't just have one person working on writing code for OpenStack; it had eight in the Icehouse release, for a total of 129 commits, 4,789 lines of code, seven blueprints and 128 emails to the mailing lists. Instead of spending time trying to convince vendors to add features, and then putting its own business on hold waiting for those features, Comcast and many other organizations have realized that they can work with the community to add those features, and move faster as a business as a result.
Observation 3: The skeptics are switching sides.
Every summit so far has been met with healthy skepticism from industry pundits who were making bets and predictions about the demise of OpenStack. They'd say things like "there aren't any users" or "their choice of APIs will kill the project" or "XYZ project has more traction." To their credit, proving them wrong has taken four years of hard work from a community of thousands of people. And in Atlanta this week, I didn't hear any of those comments or feel that vibe. I spent some great time with quite a few top tier analysts, and while they never stop asking the hard questions, it was my impression that those questions were salted with general optimism for the future of OpenStack. That was a first. It seems like the OpenStack questions clients are asking analysts have shifted from "why?" to "how?" and that's a powerful switch.
Final thoughts
Atlanta was my eighth summit. To say the community has changed is an understatement. For the first couple of years, the focus was mainly on recruiting companies into the young ecosystem. Those companies are now among OpenStack's top 10 contributors. That's exciting to see. Even more exciting is that the time we've spent bringing users into OpenStack is working. We see it at Rackspace in our private cloud business. We see it at local OpenStack meetups around the world. And we get to see it in a major way every six months at the summits.
Who will be on stage in Paris in November talking about how OpenStack is changing their business? Stay tuned! J

Art form embraces unity
Couples hugging. Families embracing. Strangers connecting.
Between 2 and 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10 on the campus of Georgia College students, faculty and visitors will embrace on platforms on the four points of the intersection of Clarke and Hancock streets.
Bill Fisher, Chair of the Art Department at Georgia College, is calling on Milledgeville and other points around the globe to join in acts of communion during an upcoming 24-hour period to celebrate acceptance of people regardless of nationality, religion or ethnicity.
"This is 'Planet of Love' – a performance art 'peace'," Fisher said. "It's simple and non-threatening and a way for us to show unity. The divide between oppressor/oppressed, the abuser/abused, the powerful/powerless, the predator/prey, and the directed/collateral will be symbolically transgressed through the act of a physical embrace."
The event coincides with the Third Annual Global Citizenship Symposium hosted by Georgia College to address human rights that continues through Wednesday, Feb. 10.
Simultaneously, participants in Mexico, California, Indonesia, Ireland, China, Australia and other locations across the globe have pledged to produce similar art.
The proposal calls for groups of four couples or triples or quads to stand on four points on an intersection, waterway, gallery, rooftop or office cubicle locked in an embrace for an extended period of time.
The "lovers" may be strangers to one another or have a previous relationship of some kind. The Georgia College embrace will last for three hours or more with intermittent resting when needed.
"People in the other locations will send their photos and documentation of participation, and we'll post their work on the Web site," Fisher said. "Our goal is to know that somewhere on this planet within these 24 hours, for at least an instant, two people are not waging war."
Data on violence, aggression and peace culled from the following sources will be read aloud throughout the performance:
For more information contact Bill Fisher at email@example.com or (478) 445-4572.

A Dream - Poem by Nikola Vaptsarov
'Lori, aren't you asleep?
Lori, d' you hear?'
'Quiet, duck your head down! It could seem
they're scarce a foot away. You can't talk here.'
'Lori, but it was such a lovely dream!...'
'How did it start?... Now, let me think...oh, yes...
The war is over... we are free
and plants and everything possess,
you understand, Lori?
I am at work. The selfsame plant of old,
the same machines I always knew,
but all a-glitter as pure gold,
and all full of some vigour new.
You're in the plant, Lori, and overseer,
and say: 'I want three hundred bolts today!'
'Well, right you are, Lori, that's fine, I'm here!'
and both of us are pleased and gay.
And outside the heavens are so bright!...
The air so pure! the space so blue!
And breathing is so light, so light!
You can't believe yourself it's you.'
Lori gazed at the other's eyes
(what boyish hope did they express!)
and, smiling, said in mock surprise:
'You're such a dreamer, Fernandez!'
The stars grew dimmer in the east. The night
in panicky retreat
disorderly drew back.
A call to fight!
Then started the attack...

54 Tasting Notes
Amber color after steep.
Smells a bit of malt. Another reviewer mentioned sweet potato or yam. I couldn't figure out the smell until then but that is it.
It is very smooth. Not bitter and no astringency.
after some cooling the sweetness really starts to come out.
Leaves are tightly rolled up into little balls. Smells really floral. Steeps to a light brown (white mug).
Sweet floral taste. No bitter aftertaste of the cheap jasmines teas. Tastes a bit dry, very slightly astringent on the tongue.
Dark amber color steep.
Very floral and citrus aroma, strong. But didn't seem to come out incredibly much in the steep though. Will have to try adjusting the steep times and tea to water ratio i suppose.
bit astringent in the aftertaste
Got this at the local 'Lotte Plaza' asiain/international supermarket for pretty cheap. 10oz for about $6.
Steeps into a nice amber color. Has nice large leaves. 1.5 tsps expand to take up almost all the volume of a mug. Pleasant aroma with a hint of sweetness but not floral. Taste is the same.

Extracting Uranium from Phosphoric Acid - Jordan Takes Lead
Site visit to the Jordan Phosphate Mining Company
facility, Aqaba, Jordan
18 May 2011 | Phosphoric acid is an attractive source for uranium. It contains enough uranium to serve as a potential fuel source for nuclear power plants. It entails no further mining, requires low inputs of energy or water and generates little waste.
Phosphate plays an important role as fertilisers, animal feed supplements and additives in food. Phosphate rocks are therefore a highly sought after resource. They also contain some quantities of uranium. A number of countries considering entry into the nuclear power family also produce phosphoric acid. It is then commonly mixed with ammonia and granulated to form di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), one of the most widely used fertilisers in the world. By tapping the acid before it gets processed into fertilizer, uranium can be extracted at relatively low cost.
Jordan has considerable experience and expertise in the extraction of uranium from a number of sources, including phosphoric acid, stretching back over thirty years. With the collapse in uranium prices in the 1990s, commercial-scale extraction was put on hold worldwide. Due to rising demand for uranium and an increase in price, extraction of uranium from phosphoric acid is once again gaining importance.
At a recent IAEA meeting at the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) in Amman, some 30 experts from Jordan, Spain, the UK and the USA assessed technical and financial lessons learned from earlier commercial uranium extraction operations in the USA that would benefit Jordan's activities on extracting uranium from phosphoric acid and other phosphorus resources.
"We were asked to consider how to reduce costs and risks associated with extracting uranium from Jordan's phosphoric acid, and also what investments in both human and technical capital would be required to successfully restart extraction on a sustainable industrial scale", said Mr Harikrishnan Tulsidas of the IAEA's Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Materials Section and Scientific Secretary of the meeting.
In particular, the experts at the meeting addressed four main topics:
- Technology, including technology transfer and some targeted research and development;
- Human resource development and capacity building, including the potential for the creation of a Centre of Excellence in Jordan, with support from international institutions and the installation of a pilot plant for both training and development;
- Health, safety and environment, including state of the art management of energy, water and waste streams, and occupational, public and environmental health;
- Social return, including direct benefits such as increased self-reliance in energy supply, job creation and stimulus to the knowledge-based economy in Jordan, as well as indirect benefits such as a reduction of the currently high proportion of GDP spent by Jordan acquiring energy from its neighbours.
A technical tour to the phosphate plant in Aqaba, run by the Jordan Phosphate Mining Company (JPMC), offered ample opportunity to discuss siting of an extraction facility and the impact of uranium extraction on the quality of phosphoric acid itself. "We learned that this is actually beneficial, since removing uranium also makes the fertiliser cleaner" remarked Mr Tulsidas. Also, critical factors such as health, safety and potential impacts on the environment were considered. The latter are of particular concern to JPMC staff and the wider Aqaba community.
By combining lessons learned from US plants with state-of-the-art design and engineering techniques, it is very likely that capital and operational costs could be significantly reduced. And with a capacity building plan already in place, due to assistance from the IAEA, it is possible to foresee a Centre of Excellence being established in Jordan that will act as a focal point for implementing uranium extraction from phosphoric acid on a strategic and commercially profitable scale.
This will consolidate Jordan's emerging potential for leadership in the field in a way that will benefit both the country and the wider Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The findings of the meeting were also presented to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of Jordan, Mr Khaled Toukan.
The meeting on "Uranium Production from Phosphate Rocks" was held on 2-6 May 2011 upon the invitation of JAEC, and with support and active participation of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, JPMC, the Royal Scientific Society of Jordan, the Jordan University of Science and Technology and the Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. The meeting was chaired by Mr Kamal Araj, Vice Chairman of JAEC and Mr Julian Hilton, Chairman of the UK Aleff Group.

Propaganda, Nicknames and wiki for laugh
THRAX and RUMELIAN
Today i saw an article in FYROM newspapers
The title is "Help for Amintas".. you can find it easy. The article is for a player, Amyntas.
As always, i saw that the half of the nicknames there wich are Greek origin names (like their CP for this month from the legendary Greek hero Perseus) and the other half that they have as component the word "Macedon" (wich means tall, long in Greek, i dont know what means in their language and they love it so much) but this is not out theme...
I thought "another Greek name" cause is an ancient Greek name really well known name here wich means "the defender" (i dont know what means in their language)
and now the "lol"...
i dont know why, i putted it in wiki... and as i was sure, i saw what i know in english wiki
in the left of the page i saw languages and i hitted the "language" they thing some people talk... what did i saw? lol
they dont tell the people the origin and what mean the name Amyntas !!!
i started laugh cause you know its beeter to know nothing than the half of something...
but the real laugh was in Bulgarian wiki...
in the top says "е древно име, употребявано най-вече в Македония" wich means "an ancient name wich is used especially in Macedonia"
i didnt know if i had to "lol" or to cry....
the propaganda in greatness!!!
fo conclusion: better start using some nicknames like "Josef"... fits better
ps1: i didnt know what pictures to use so i putted some coins from some of the Macedonian kings named Amyntas... i CAN read them... Amyntas (the one from the article i saw) and the others, CAN?
ps2: i think they ll try to delete the article, but for some reason i cant find why... well... i ll put it on again bey befotre that lets make some people read it:
Propaganda, nicknames and wiki for laugh
ps3: sorry for my English.... but still are better than the Greek they use 😁
Fyromians have started realizing that the only way to be Macedonian is the Greek way..
English is fine, ps3 is epic! :DDDD
"... used in Macedonia", I think that in BG Wiki it means that the name is used in district Macedonia. For us, Bulgarians, Macedonia is geographical place and macedonians are people who live there. Like, we have Shopi, Dobrudzanci, Traki and so on.
Inresting article 🙂
quite diplomatic aspect 😉
however e.g. Makedonians are not just the inhabitants of Makedonia as the word contains a meaning of nation in common with Thrace, Epirus, Thessaly, Crete etc. namely the Hellenic nation (all residents of Greece are not Greeks) 😉
yes, for us Macedonians are the people who live in this geographical place and they are part of Bulgarian nation
I realy dont get though why you even bother with the skopian-aka bulgarian offsprings -
they are never gonna learn..their mindes are stuck as hell!
What i dont get also is why these fyromians deny their bulgarian heritage..why they deny their bulgarian roots? are they afraid of something? they speak the same language(fyromian is a bulgarian dialect)-they have the same customs so WHY WHY WHY deny that they are bulgars??
Should they accept their Bulgarian ID, they could not stand as a separate country..
Half would be absorbed by Bulgaria and the other half by Albania.
yes, they are afraid. Serbians and communism teach them, a these two "things" are very afraid of Bulgaria. I think that mighty Bulgaria is on in the interests of any Balkan country or even "the great powers", as a Greek you know this very well from our ( Balkan&Europe too) history.
hahahah this is sooo funny qandirdim sik kadar bişey anlamadım

MEXICO CITY (Aug. 1)
Yosef Rotenberg, a veteran of the Bund in Poland and a well known writer and educator and a teacher in many Jewish schools in his native country before World War II, has died here at the age of 85. Rotenberg came to Mexico after the war as a refugee from Shanghai where he worked during the war as an editor of a Jewish newspaper and as a contributor to Jewish Socialist publications. In Mexico City he helped found the I.L. Peretz day school and taught at the local Jewish-Hebrew Teachers Seminary at the Ashkenazic Kehilla Nidche Israel.

Do you know which water heater you should buy? When you are buying a traditional tank-filled water heater there are several things you should know before making your purchase. These include things such as whether or not to buy gas or electric, your household's demand for hot water, and the energy efficiency rating. Following is a guide from Roto-Rooter in San Mateo designed to give you the information you need to make an informed purchase.
There are some major differences between gas and electric appliances, including the following:
Obviously the size of tank you buy depends on how much water you use. Another factor, though, is how much water you use during the busiest hour of the day. A rating system has been developed that includes this information. Because the most water is generally used during the first hour in the morning, the rating system is known as the first hour rating (FHR). It is based on factors such as how many individuals are in your household and how many bathrooms you have. A San Mateo Roto-Rooter plumber can help you determine your FHR.
The EnergyGuide sticker is a yellow label that conveys water usage and energy-related information. It is a federal law that every appliance has one of these stickers attached to it. It contains the following information:
Once you have purchased the right water heater for your household it should be installed by an experienced individual. If you are a skilled, do-it-yourself plumber you may be comfortable installing it on our own. If not, feel free to contact Roto-Rooter to install your appliance whenever it is convenient for you.
