ROCHESTER — On Tuesday, longtime state Rep. Julie Brown, who has served District 23 encompassing Wards 2 and 3 in Rochester for 12 consecutive two-year terms, announced she left the Republican Party and registered as an independent voter at Rochester City Hall, in light of the changes observed in her lifelong party.
After 24 years in office, Brown, 77, described her feelings of hurt and frustration after losing the primary to Cliff Newton on Sept. 11. Newton will face newcomer David Miller on the Democratic ticket, after receiving more than double the votes of Brown in Rochester.
Before she headed to City Hall, Brown described to Foster's how she felt the views of Republicans changed and her colleagues "abandoned" her.
"I've always been a Republican �but now this election has proven our Republican Party values are gone. This is a new group that just attached itself to it," Brown said, referencing "Free Staters" and the 9-12 group.
"I have done soul searching for a whole week since I lost. I worked hard on this election through all kinds of false accusations. At this point � I feel the Republican Party has abandoned me. I haven't abandoned the Republican Party. They abandoned me," Brown said.
Learning of this development, Miller told Foster's it was "unfortunate" to see Brown lose in the primary — with 145 votes compared to Newton's 306 in Ward 2, and 101 votes compared to his 232 in Ward 3. He said he learned from Brown on the voting day about an attack on her campaign which specifically targeted her, just days before the race.
Brown described a decorative card she said was crafted "quite well, actually," with a depiction of President Barack Obama sleeping, and dreaming of three people, identified as his "dream team."
There were photos of Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and Brown floating above him.
"No disrespect to Democrats, they have their rights, too," Brown said, "but I have always been a Republican. That was hateful."
A similar card was circulated for state Senate candidate Dick Green, another Republican candidate, who lost to Sam Cataldo after a card circulated labeling him a "chameleon," with a photo of him behind a podium indicating his work for the "Republicans for Lynch" group, before Gov. John Lynch's inauguration.
Miller said he believed outside parties funded the outlandish pamphlet, and Brown said, though she tried to trace the political action committee (PAC) responsible for the advertisements, she couldn't find the original source.
"The money that's pouring into the House, it was illustrated here," Miller said. "The PAC money is pouring in from outside the state, to give (Republicans) pretty much unlimited funds to compete�"
Newton told Foster's while he was aware of ads pointing out issues with Brown, he said he did not endorse those pamphlets. He handed out one of his own though, comparing his voting record to Brown's noting in his observations, she voted with Democrats a majority of the time. Newton has served six years in the Legislature.
"I knew nothing about that other group," he said, adding when it comes to voting records, "you can run from it but you can't hide. Imagine if 80 percent of the time you're voting with the other party, will that make your party — people who voted for you — happy or upset? And I think they were upset about it."
Newton added he couldn't recall Brown ever having a "real primary" with a legitimate challenger running against her in the last 24 years. He said in this case, perhaps the people had spoken.
Miller, commenting on the upcoming election with Newton, said he believes their focus will be heavy on job creation, and he will aim to bring attention to education funding as well. He added the outcome of the Republican primary makes this a "stark choice" for voters.
"I think that's the challenge. Cliff Newton's (election in the primary) makes it a very stark choice between the Republicans and the Democrats, versus Julie Brown," he said, "where there was more of a middle ground that she represented."
Newton said he honestly wasn't sure if he would win the primary over Brown but now that he has, he's looking forward to the upcoming general election.
"I believe they wanted a conservative candidate, it's that simple," he added. "And they showed it when they supported me. If Julie wants to leave the Republican Party, then I wish her luck. She's not the first, you know."
Independence in the future
Brown said she prided herself on reaching across the aisle, adding the Republican Party she signed up for on her 21st birthday decades ago was the party of "Lincoln and Eisenhower."
She said it is unrecognizable to her today.
"Politics can be very dirty, you know, but in all my years, all my years, I've never been subjected to this kind of hatred," she said. "These people are supposed to be Christians. Those are not the kinds of Christians I want my grandchildren to be."
She added that when she learned of her loss earlier in the month, her 17-year-old grandson called her to offer support, pointing out now she would have more time to come to his sports games.
Brown said this will be her last time running for political office, though she will continue to serve on the Rochester School Board and advocate for local homeless groups, noting those were always outside of the political arena for her.
Just after 2 p.m., Brown left a message for Foster's stating she had returned from City Hall and where she had "officially" left the party.
"It's absolutely official," she said.

A question of grip
May 1, 2015
Think fast. With front wheels on ice and rear wheels on tarmac – where should the power go?
If you said the rear wheels, give yourself a tick.
But even for those who answered in a flash, it might be a tall order to measure grip 20 times in the time it takes to blink, and then immediately decide where power should go.
That's exactly what our Galaxy, Mondeo, S-MAX and Kuga models can do, equipped with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive that makes driving smoother, and safer.
This video shows how it works.

This is too rich. The Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien invited William Shatner on his show to give Sarah Palin's resignation speech the literary treatment it deserves. Shatner reads it as poetry.
I love it. What do you think of The Tonight Show now that Conan O'Brien has taken the reigns? I was never a Jay Leno fan, so I'm tuning in more.

One of the great things we get to do while working with a variety of clients, is building for different lifestyles. When they come to us at Showcase Builders, we sit down and specifically ask them what they would like in their new custom-built home if they have not engaged an architect at this point.
Knowing their intentions and helping them manifest a lifestyle of their dreams makes our dedicated team smile. It is our great privilege to add many special features for homeowners. In fact, consider this custom home that was among those in the Hill Country Builders Association 2014 Parade of Homes.
For this hilltop home we added a car collector's dream garage and shop with several bays and a beautiful garage floor coating. Among other features of the home are a separate casita for guest accommodations, covered RV storage with complete utility hookups, a custom utility room with a dog wash and kennel, an electronic pet door and a custom lap pool with a spa overlooking Lake Buchanan.
Other features we commonly add to a waterfront or Texas Hill Country home are large game rooms, home theaters, wine bars, large patios with relaxing pools, and fire pits for entertaining the family or weekend guests. These homes may also have custom boat docks with slips for boats and personal watercraft.
Providing many of these unique elements to custom homes makes our day. We can make yours, too, when looking for a wonderful place to reside.
Showcase Builders (www.showcasebuilders.com) provides custom home building services throughout the Texas Hill Country, whether it is in Austin, Marble Falls, Kingsland, Granite Shoals, Horseshoe Bay or Burnet. Our talented and qualified team brings over 35 years of experience into each project. Led by Ryan Haberer, President, Showcase Builders subscribes to the philosophy that communication is the key to our success. We guarantee, as our clients, that you'll love the special attention that you and your home receive. For more information, contact us at (512) 745-7241.

it's been happening to me. i'm not talking about some big abracadabra magic. i'm talking about surrendering to the day or to the moment and the surprises and gifts that come to you.
magic happens when you trust yourself and your feelings. magic happens when you genuinely feel with your heart.
try it out.
let go. surrender.
no controlling. no forcing.
detach yourself from any expectation.
dig deep. deep into your depth. into your soul.
what do you want?
what do you wish for?
put your wish out there.
dream big.
magic happens. i promise it's true.

Sunday roast: Rub for shoulder of lamb and a gravy
Photo by Kieran Scott
Our small family dinner table was grey — a mottled 1960s artefact with chrome trim and ultra-modern curved steel legs. On any weekday winter morning, it was a deathly cold slab. My bare forearms would hover above its ice-rink surface. I was sure my skin would stick to that Formica and steel table, trapping me there, inches away from my Milo and toast, keeping me from school and offering me up by default to do the washing-up.
At Sunday lunchtime, that grey table changed completely. The frosty slab was replaced with warm cream linen, stacked high with plates, cutlery and glasses. The kitchen would be warm and flooded with the smells of Dad's roasting lamb shoulder or a freshly sacrificed chicken. Tall bottles of ale would be open on the bench and we kids would be piled among couch cushions and bedspreads dragged in from the dark tombs of our bedrooms. Everything was different on Sundays.
Normally gone by 6am with his shearing gang, my father would be in the house and my mother was, for one day a week, truly relaxed and happy. The kitchen was Dad's domain on Sundays and he was a true master of self-sufficiency. After church, we would drag potatoes from the garden, knock the heads off cabbages and tear out winter parsnips, then clean and prepare them with Dad overseeing knife skills and cooking times. He would set to work, trussing and seasoning the meat and expertly stirring the gravy into a velvety, savoury wonder.
We all sat when we were summoned, prayed to a God-like provider, who I thought was "my father" not "Our Father", and had plenty of everything piled on our plates. We talked, laughed and ate. We were a family. Dad at the head of the table, with my mother directly to his left, his right arm free to fend off the flying food, spoons and glassware my youngest brother habitually cast about. My sister would sit next to my mother, following her lead, and the four boys occupied the rest of the modest table, with my older brother in the place opposite Dad whenever he was home from boarding school; otherwise it was my spot, where I'd stare right down the barrel of the man I most admired, watching him conduct his Sunday overture, gently touching the back of my mother's hand to ask for the salt or gravy. I would rest my arms on that transformed kitchen table without fear of injury — content and happy in the heart of our Sunday lunch.

Hi all !
It is my first article on WISE SHE 🙂 I have been a silent and regular reader of this blog and always wished to write for it. So , today I have come up with some do-it-yourself face mixes that will help you get your glow back. After a long stressful week , we all can see the damage on our skin (thanks to pollution and the stress we undergo everyday). Stress affects our skin by causing inflammation , blotchiness and redness because our brain sends the stress signals to vital organs , including the skin. Many of you may prefer to go to spas to relax your body and mind. But with these natural scrubs and cleansers I am going to share, you will ditch those expensive alternatives and fall in love with your skin 🙂
Here I am listing my favourite three :
Hardly 5 minutes for each face mix.
Brown sugar acts like natural face scrub that helps to exfoliate your face and get rid of facial fatigue.
Take a bowl and cut open three sachets of granulated brown sugar into it (easily available in the market but I have used white sugar instead). Add a dash of milk and a dollop of your everyday moisturiser , along with an easy helping of honey , and whip it well. Now , use this thick mixture as a scrub.
NOTE : If you want to store scrub for later use, skip the milk and just save sugar and moisturizer in a pot and freshly add the milk whenever you are using it.
Ground oats can be used as natural exfoliators for the skin (you can buy them from the market but sometimes I use DR. QUAKER'S oats too).
Mix them with honey in a bowl , a dash of lemon and some milk. Use the pack evenly across your face. This stimulates your blood circulation and helps you de-stress.
NOTE : The oatmeal should not have too many chunky elements – make sure the oats are well grounded so they don't scratch your skin.
This one is my personal favourite and really helps  to lighten my adamant dark circles. I am sure you all will love this new remedy for those baggy eyes 🙂 ( please excuse my chipped nail 😛 )
Run two green tea bags ( I use LIPTON'S) under hot water and when they have cooled down a bit , place one on each eye for just two minutes.
Green tea contents are also used as a quick face cleanser. After soaking a tea bag in hot water ( or having the green tea in the morning) , cut the bag open and pour the contents into a bowl full of hot water. You can also add your liquid face wash, but it should not be very creamy or like a gel , to the mix for some texture. Now , evenly apply , massage and wash.
Try them once in a week and as I said, you will love your skin and me too for sharing this 😛
Have a happy week. Take care! 😀

The Cajun Creole people of Louisiana have greatly influenced the flavor, texture and look of gumbo. The Cajuns are an ethnic group living in Louisiana, consisting of the descendants of Acadian exiles (French-speaking settlers from parts of what is now Canada). .
The Acadians were evicted from Acadia which has since been resettled and consists of parts of what is now known as New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, Canada in the period 1755-1763. They settled in locations along the east cost of the US but most settled in south Louisiana since the area had a French population during that period.
Today, the Acadians make up a significant portion of south Louisiana's population, and have exerted an enormous impact on the state's culture and in particular it's gumbo.
In addition to seafood gumbo and chicken gumbo they have given us unique Music and dancing which has become popular in many areas outside of Louisiana. Products such as Louisiana Hot Sauce, Tabasco , Zatarains, Tony Chachere's and other Cajun Creole food itmes have become famous nationwide for helping cooks add spice and interest to food.
The word "Creole" refers to people of any race or mixture who are descended from settlers in colonial French Louisiana before it became part of the United States in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase.
Contemporary usage has broadened the meaning.......
to describe an extended cultural group of people of all races who share a French or Spanish background. Louisianans who identify themselves as "Creole" are most commonly from historically Francophone communities, with some ancestors who came to Louisiana either directly from France or via the French colonies in the Caribbean.They generally are Roman Catholic
and influenced by the traditional French culture of the early part of the state. The term is also often used to mean simply "pertaining to New Orleans", or Louisiana's People of mixed (mainly) French, Spanish, African American, and Native American heritage.
Gumbo is a rustic combination of wonderful ingredients that when
cooked together form Louisiana's most famous food. Similarly, the
Creoles of Louisiana come from varying cultures and those cultures
together form the unique and most interesting Creole heritage. It is
that heritage that has the most profound influence on food in and around
New Orleans. And of all the food, gumbo stands alone as the most
delicious and sought after dish.

Our big move, which was supposed to have taken place this week, has been delayed. Right now we're looking at the end of July as the official move dates, but until we have purchased plane tickets, I don't think I'll believe any "official" dates to be actually official. Le sigh.
It's fine — thinking we only had six weeks to purge, pack, and move, I got so much done during the month of May that our to-do list is very manageable now. Although with an extra four weeks to get ready, I keep adding little things to the list that just wouldn't have been possible to get done before. Matt loves that.
We've been eight months in limbo, though.
That's a long time to not want to really plan too far in advance, to put off trips, projects, and purchases because you don't know where you'll be living.
And it's anxiety-inducing as well. I have hit the point though, where my attitude is basically "Eff It, We'll See What Happens". I guess, if nothing else, I've learned that my tolerance for major stress lasts approximately seven months before I give in and stop caring. Good to know?
Either way, we're still planning to leave this summer. God help me if we get pushed back into Fall and I have to bring the kids to school here.
I haven't registered Q for kindergarten, I wonder if I should? Eff It. We'll see what happens.

When you plan to go out of town, whether for vacation or business, you most likely make arrangements for your personal safety and that of your family. What about the safety of your home? Keeping your home safe while you're away greatly depends on the preparations you make. Here are some tips to consider:
1. Ask a friend to help or hire a house-sitter to feed your pet, water plants, get your mail, as well as to rake leaves and mow the lawn if necessary. This will give the impression that someone lives in your home. Before you leave, mow the lawn and tidy up the yard.
2. Stop mail delivery. A full mailbox is a sign that your home is not lived in, so call your local post office and ask them to hold your mail until you return. Alternatively, have a trustworthy friend pick up your mail.
3. Make your house look occupied by installing timers that periodically turn on / off interior lights and the TV every evening. Also, leave your curtains as you typically keep them when you're home.
4. Don't forget to lock all the windows and doors, including the garage door, securely. Before you leave, double check all safety latches on the windows and exterior door locks.
5. Never announce your vacation plans on social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter or your blog. There may be hundreds of opportunistic burglars who are fishing for announcements like these. What you say on your answering machine and voice mail matters, too.
6. Unplug electronics such as the computer, toaster, and oven to save on electricity and to protect them from power surges. Leave on the devices that have a timer.
7. Install additional security features to make your home safer and look less attractive to robbers. Consider investing in a security system, cameras or even fake security cameras, at the very least. Exterior lights that run on timers also help.
8. Lock up your valuables, such as sensitive documents and jewelry, in a fireproof safe or bank safety deposit box. Never leave them in your home in plain sight.
9. Review your home insurance to make sure that there aren't any exclusions which could render it void. For example, check that you're covered if you are away for a certain number of days or if a non-family member lives in your home.
10. Turn off the water at the main shut off. You may think it's unlikely to have a plumbing leak while you're away, but insurance companies report hundreds of these incidents each year. Water damage from undetected leaks can ruin walls, floors and ceilings and lead to expensive repair costs. To prevent this, shut the main valve next to your water meter. Then turn off the icemaker in your refrigerator, to prevent the line from freezing up.
Implementing a safety plan for your home can dramatically decrease the chances that your possessions will get stolen or damaged. Besides, knowing that your home is secure will give you peace of mind during your vacation.

Today at AIBTM, Meeting Professionals International released the Business Value of Meetings study, which explores how organizations measure the worth of their events. The findings include the percentage of businesses that measure the value of meetings, the barriers to implementation of measurement processes, programming elements for organizational success and the key skills needed for personal success. The study was conducted by Association Insights and was funded by an investment from AIBTM to the MPI Foundation's Thought Leadership program. Using the information released today, MPI will develop a set of business tools that industry professionals can use to introduce meeting value measures to their events and communicate the value in relevant business terms. After interviewing representatives of 261 corporations in 27 countries, researchers found that less than 10 percent of meetings are assessed for their business value. The deciding factor of whether to measure a specific event depended on whether its stated goals focused on return on investment. The Business Value of Meetings is available here free to MPI members; the cost is $99 for nonmembers.

Every baby needs a stuffy. Specifically, every baby needs a Flash stuffy that is also a cat for some reason.
You can even geek out on the essentials, like a pacifier clip themed with Calvin and Hobbes.
This Star Trek baby blanket (with tags! I hear that's a thing) rolls high nerd cred.

Public Records Reform Bills to Be Heard Tuesday
Bills will improve access & modernize public records system
WHAT: The Joint Committee on State Administration & Regulatory Oversight will hear bills relative to the public records law and open meeting law, including the following filed by State Senator Jamie Eldridge:
- S1575: An Act to Enhance Access to Electronic Public Records, which will make it routine for electronic public records to be provided to requestors in usable electronic form, and for information of significant interest to the public to be posted online.
- S1576: An Act to Improve Access to Public Records, which will improve access to public records by reducing and rationalizing the fees requestors must pay to obtain records, permitting requestors to obtain attorneys' fees if they have been denied access to public records without valid reasons, and putting systems in place to facilitate state agencies' management of public records
WHEN: Tuesday, September 20th
WHO: Legislators, advocates, policy experts and frequent users of the public records system are expected to testify.
WHY: Open, transparent government is essential for a healthy democracy, and our public records law is one of the most important tools citizens have for holding government accountable. Over the years, however, it's become more and more difficult for the public to obtain records – the costs are often high and the responses to requests untimely. These bills would help ensure that records that are legally supposed to be public truly are.

Practice is an important part of the creative process. Even if you're not into yoga, many of the principles below can be applied to whatever you intend to create.
Recently a student asked how to approach a daily home yoga practice. The short answer is, "It depends on where you're starting from, how much time you have, and what your intention is."
Here's my one-and-a-half year old granddaughter, who spontaneously rolled out a mat, took Downward Facing Dog pose, and announced, "Nini doing Brown Dog."
This brings up the most important tip: Just roll out your mat and begin. Beginning is always the first step.
This brings up the most important tip: Just roll out your mat and begin. Beginning is always the first step.
Here's several suggestions to keep you going:
- Schedule your practice. Set a dedicated time and place, and do it.
- Start either seated, kneeling, laying on your back, standing, or in child's pose. Devote at least a few minutes to get still, to focus awareness away from your thinking mind and into your heart center, to set an intention, and to observe and deepen your breathing.
- Begin to move with your breath, and always from your center and core tall. Move slowly at first to warm up.
- Work for length and strength as well as for flexibility and balance.
- Listen to your breath, let the movement fill into the breath, and keep the breath steady and easy. Never strain anything, and rest if you need to.
- On a particular day, try concentrating on hip openers, twists, core strengthening, heart opening, balance, or inversions. As time permits, incorporate some sun salutations or at least 1 type of standing pose, hip opener, forward fold, twist, balance, backbend, and inversion.
- Try to follow a pose with a counterpose. Example: After a back bend, a forward fold. If in doubt what to do next, add a gentle twist between poses, opening from your center.
- Only move as far as is right for you today, rest if needed, and remember to listen to your inner teacher.
- Give yourself enough time to sink into final relaxation for at least 5 minutes.
- Most importantly, move with loving kindness towards yourself, remembering "No pain is no pain."

Today, committees in both the Minnesota House and Senate are hearing testimony in favor of marriage equality legislation. Among those who spoke before the House Civil Law Committee was Lynne Osterman (R), who served in the state House in 2003–2004 and voted for a constitutional "defense of marriage act" (DOMA) to ban same-sex marriage. In tearful testimony, she expressed her regret for that "politically expedient" vote and implored the current lawmakers not to make the same mistake:
OSTERMAN: I served as a Republican because of my interest in smaller government, and it was incredibly counter-intuitive to me to then upon my arrival tell citizens how the government wanted them to live their lives. I didn't come to St. Paul to single out same-sex couples and their families, but in my only term as a member I cast a politically expedient vote in favor of DOMA and I have regretted that ever since. It was not in my conscience or my own compass.
Voting no today this session might seem politically expedient, but I can tell you from experience that you will have to live knowing that a "no" vote is not fair, it's not respectful, and it's not equal. I blew my vote and I'm imploring you: please get this right. Minnesota citizens just want you to lead.
Watch it:

this is really good
this is really good
Hm, I think you put those flashes in the wrong order. You should've started with "Veteran's Day" and then "Almandines n' Stuff" followed by "China in the Middle Ages". That way, the graphics and animations would become better with every collab entry.
Now, you start of with the best entry and finish off with the very unpolished and unfinished Veteran's Day.
Also, a menu would've been nice, from where we can select the single flashes. You could've also provided the backstory in the flash itself if you had put in a menu screen.
{ Review Request Club }
This did not seem to be too bad although the last one you did seemed a little different since it suddenly changed to just having their mouths open with no movement at all. I guess that was meant to be practice for adding in a voice and timing. The second one is meant to be an advertisement correct? And the first one is a short quick thing about China in 221 AD.
The graphics were pretty good although they are always the same which is great to do with a series since changing art style sometime during the series would just throw things off. Then the voices are all good as well. Nice to see sonicmega made a cameo in this one during the second project in this flash.
Overall, interesting set of three.
Review Request Club
Well, the characters seem a bit uninspired, you could have done atleast something to set them apart from the Cyanide & Happiness characters. The last animation would have been better left out since it greatly reduces the overall impression you get when you watch the movie. All in all should have waited a few days to get this out and polished the living shit out of it.
It must be a slow day in the portal today with this getting Daily Third. No offense but if you had polished this thing better and had some original characters I would have thoght you deserved it.
Interesting. Lots of people say that my characters bear great resemblance to Cyanide & Happiness, but it'd be weird to change them significantly since I've already produced 40+ episodes with them. I'm not sure what to change other than possibly add shading, shadowing or at least some sort of distinguishing quality.
No offense taken, thank you very much for your review!
It was alright. The voice acting was just ok. The old man didn't sound old man-ish if you get what I'm saying..but other than that the story was ok as well...just needs something else...

Honda Expands Recall to Replace Takata-Made Air Bags
TOKYO -- Honda Motor (HMC) said Thursday it is recalling about 4.5 million more cars globally to replace air bag inflators made by supplier Takata Corp., the latest move in the Japanese automaker's efforts to deal with a safety scare that has seen firms around the world recall tens of millions of cars.
Of the 4.5 million, 1.63 million are being recalled in Japan, Honda said.
Takata is at the center of the recalls of vehicles equipped with air bag inflators that can explode with too much force and spray metal fragments inside vehicles. Regulators have linked eight deaths to the component, all in cars made by Honda.
North America isn't included in this latest recall, he said.
The automaker independently collected about 1,000 Takata-made air bag inflators from Honda cars not covered in previous recalls for investigative purposes, which Takata then analyzed, the spokesman said.
Honda, based on its own analysis of data provided by Takata, found that a variance in the density of gas-producing chemicals in inflators may lead to abnormal deployment of air bags in the future and issued the new recall, according to the spokesman.
Earlier Thursday, Honda chief executive Takahiro Hachigo told reporters that while his firm will continue to investigate the issue with Takata, and work as a business partner with the supplier, it has no plans to provide financial aid to Takata.
Honda last month restated its financial results for the business year ended March, to account for additional costs related to its recalls of cars equipped with Takata air bag parts.

Amazon Glacier allowed us to achieve a very secure and affordable remote backup service, reducing costs by four times compared to the previous backup solution, based on the remote replication of our storage infrastructure.
The Biblioteca de Catalunya is a Catalan national library located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Its mission is to collect, preserve, and spread Catalan bibliographic production and that related to the Catalonian linguistic area, to look after its conservation, and to spread its bibliographic heritage while maintaining the status of a center for research and consultation.
- Needed to preserve digitized and digital-born materials.
- Host documents in the public domain, available via the Internet.
- Needed to store and archive 26 TB of data and support 1 TB/month growth in database.
- Needed long-term database backup capabilities.
- Must be able to access stored data, anytime and anywhere.
- Initially, Biblioteca de Catalunya chose an on-premises backup solution through another provider using remote replication, but found it was too expensive. The library looked for a cost-effective alternative and chose to migrate to AWS. Using a hybrid IT architecture, it created a backup and archive solution with cost-effective high availability.
- Biblioteca de Catalunya uses Amazon Glacier—a secure, durable, low-cost storage service for data archiving and long-term backup—to archive its digital, audio, and video assets.
- The organization also uses CloudBerry Backup software to manage files on the cloud as it would on local computers, making disaster recovery simple, reliable, and affordable.
- In the future, Biblioteca de Catalunya is looking to integrate Amazon Glacier with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to enable access to certain data via the Internet. This will help the organization further optimize storage costs by moving infrequently accessed objects from Amazon S3 to Amazon Glacier.
- Cost savings: By using Amazon Glacier, Biblioteca de Catalunya has saved four times the costs compared to storing its 26 TB of data with its previous on-premises backup solution.
- Availability: Biblioteca de Catalunya can archive older media content reliably, and planning to move it to Amazon S3 for distribution when needed, giving it low-cost options for various retrieval needs, from a few minutes to several hours.

Junokata and contact improv
2 comments:
Yeah... That's why I love bloggers. How on earth did you come across this? There are definitely some cool judo principles at work here, both for standing and groundwork, but there is also a bunch of other stuff, too. I think it is a fair comparison to Ju no Kata to say that Ju is a subset of the more standing judo-relevant movements from contact improv. I love Ju no Kata, though - at least what I understand of it. All of the lifts, to me, are golden... I use them regularly when teaching seoi or ogoshi, especially when I see folks losing their control or "tightness" during their throws. 30-minutes of Ju lifts takes care of it. =:>ReplyDelete
Glad you liked that, Chad. If you are interested in contact improv, check out the 'contact improv' label at the bottom of this post - especially the video referenced in this article:ReplyDelete
I got interested in contact some years ago because of the clear crossover with aiki randori. turns out it bears upon judo randori too - surprise, huh, given my opinion that they are the same art.
I also love junokata - particularly the lifts and the shoulder turns. A few years ago i took a pile of whitebelts and taught them junokata as they were learning to do ukemi. they all turned out really skilled. since then i haven't been using junokata explicitly with beginners but i have used pieces of it in various specific contexts.

BOY is it hard to get back into the swing of things after having vacation time off for the holiday! I went back to work today and slugged down coffee all day! I've been just dragging! Good thing I failed to post cards from my crank-em-out weekend in St Cloud, so I have some blog posts I can do until I get back into stamping mode!
So I think these coffee cards that I did with the new Gina K "My Cuppa Joe" coffee set are SO appropriate for my day today. I needed all-occasion cards in the worst way, and these cute little office-y cards will do the trick. I can stamp any sentiment I want on the inside, because the front just says "You're cool beans"! Some of these are Thank-you cards, with the sentiment "Thanks a Latte" on the inside.
I used up a bunch of old Shabby Princess polka dot paper that I had from last year's Christmas cards, so I was glad to be able to use stuff up! And this houndstooth brown paper is from AGES ago, I can't even identify it! The stripe and red coffee bag patterned paper is by Scenic Route, and the mug paper is an old Daisy D's plaid.
I used white liquid applique to puff up the whipped cream in the coffee. It adds a cool 3-d element to the cards!
Happy MONDAY, y'all!

JOHANNESBURG, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Kumba Iron Ore is losing 120,000 tonnes of finished product per day due to an illegal strike at its Sishen mine in South Africa, the producer of the steel-making ingredient said on Monday.
The company, a unit of global miner Anglo American , added that it had sufficient production from other mines and stockpiles to continue supplying its customers until mid-October.
Kumba, one of the world's top 10 producers of iron ore and the largest in Africa, suspended operations at the mine on Oct. 4 after striking employees had blocked access to the pit.

Reading makes a perfect man. Reading expands your thoughts and enlarges your wold.
(An extract from the interview given to Mr. S.V. Venugopalan of The "Bank Workers' Unity" on the occasion of World Book & Copyright Day Day on23 April.)
What Has initiated you to the reading habit?
"I Have sought for happiness everywhere, but I have found it nowhere except in a little corner with a little book." - Thomas a Kempis
When I was small, it all started with my father's taunt, "hold the book, and sit". Whenever guests/ relatives used to come, I used to be very hyper active as the children of that age and wanted to show my prowess in acrobatics to the guests. Then my father taunting me, kept the guests rescued from my antics. This 'hold some book' taunt used to be a regular ritual whenever the guests used to come. Holding a book and sitting quiet was not an easy task. So I got gradually hooked up to the habit of reading from my childhood.
"When I get a little money, I buy books, and if any is left, I buy food and clothes".-Erasmus.
It has almost become one real vice or passion. As a student, whatever dough, I used to get as pocket money I used to spend all of it on purchasing books from the second hand book stalls. After joining the bank, economic independence lead to using much of my salary towards purchase of more and more of new and less of second-hand books.
Immediately, after my marriage there was a set back not only in my acquiring the books but also in my reading. My wife, a bibiliophobe, as a new bride thought of my reading habit to be a competitor, hogging up the time that rightly belonged to her. Over a period I turned her to my way by rubbing my vice of reading to her. Now she lives with me along with my hoards of books. Not only that, she also got the wall to wall cabinets built at home to accommodate my innumerable number of books.
Variety in reading?
Suspense thrillers (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle through James Hadley Chase, Agatha Christie, Arthur Hailey, Irving Wallace to Dan Brown) self improvement books (from Dale Carnegie to Shiv Khera), English/ Telugu/ Sanskrit literature, spirituality, humour (especially P.G.Wodehouse), Homoeo etc.
Which place do you prefer for reading?
Toilet. - So calm and quiet and away from the maddening crowd.
How do you read large volumes?
Tear it into manageable lots, carry it and read it. Once reading is over I get the lots re-bound.
By getting up early in the morning, keeping late nights, and also during waiting periods, lunch hours, journeys etc I make lot of time which I allocate to reading books..
Tips, to a non-voracious reader, as how to read.
"Reading is visually guided thinking."
Read the reviews, before choosing the books (like the Tuesday book review in the Hindu, book lists from news papers/ magazines etc.)
Get the over view of the book- read the front and the back covers;
Read the author's credentials if it relates to the subject of the book;
Skim the introduction to get insights into the book's main points.
Read the table of contents
Read all major headings and sub headings.
Read the first sentence of each paragraph.
Prereading increases comprehension and understanding of the book.
Now read the book in its entirety with a pen or pencil in hand.
Take down points from each reading or mark key passages or write notes in the margin. The important points- don't mark the entire line, mark vertically on the sides of the lines in the margins.
On the back or front inside covers, write down the page numbers containing the key points for future reference.
If the book is large and voluminous, then tear it to manageable lots as to carry them in your shirt/ pant pockets, and read them where ever you get time (not to tear from the books borrowed from library). Once read, bind the whole lot and place it back into the rack.
Don't make your books a store place. Everything in its place and place for everything.
Cut down on watching television.
Visit a library every weak.
Read the title" Read & Grow Rich" by Burke Hedges, INTI Publishing, The USA.
How do you avoid dozing?
"There is a great deal of difference between the eager who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read." –G.K.Chesterton
When keen in studying and interest is there, there is no question of dozing of.
Speed Reading ?
"I took a course in speed reading and was able to read "War and Peace" in 20 minutes. It is about Russia"- Woody Allen.
I skim through the books pretty fast.
There is no speed reading in serious study.

|Denaturation of thermophilic ferricytochrome c-552 by acid, guanidine hydrochloride, and heat.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 229899 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The denaturation of Thermus thermophilus cytochrome c-552 by acid, guanidine hydrochloride, and heat was studied by measuring the changes in absorption and circular dichroism. Cytochrome c-552 was remarkably resistant to acid; the pK of the transition from the low- to the high-spin form was roughly 0.3. The effect of guanidine hydrochloride on the heme iron-methionine bond of Thermus and horse cytochromes c was also investigated; a comparison of the free-energy changes for the displacement of the bond indicated that the coordination in cytochrome c-552 is highly stable. The spectra of guanidine hydrochloride unfolded cytochrome c-552 were dependent on the pH; the titration curve showed the presence of a cooperative single transition of pK = 4.7, with a one-proton dissociation, suggesting the ionization of a histidine residue. In the presence of guanidine hydrochloride, the influence of the heat on the ligand bond in cytochrome c-552 was studied. The van't Hoff plots of the reaction were biphasic. The enthalpy changes in the higher temperature range were independent on the guanidine hydrochloride concentration, while those in the lower range were not.

The Olympic Round was introduced to target archery so that it could become more watchable as a competitive sport, the main focus of this being for the Olympics when shown on television. The round was developed by the World Archery Federation (WA; formerly FITA). It is used at the Olympic Games, the Archery World Cup and in many lower profile or local tournaments.
Teams are made up of three archers from the same discipline (male or female, recurve or compound bows). The teams shoot a qualifying round and are seeded on the combined score of the team.
A team match consists of 4 ends of each archer shooting 2 arrows, making 24 arrows in total. The team has 2 minutes to shoot all 6 arrows. All archers start in a box 1 meter from the shooting line. Once the time has started one archer may leave the box and shoot. Only one archer may be out of the box at a time.
In the event of a tie, each team member will shoot one arrow each. The team will have 1 minute to shoot the 3 arrows. The team with the highest total score is the winner. If still tied another 3 arrow are shot, and a third extra end if required. If still tied in the third extra end the team with an arrow closest to the center of the target wins; if these are the same distance from the center the team with the second arrow closest arrow is the winner, and the third if need be.
In addition to the fouls above there are additional fouls for the team round. If an archer leaves the box before the previous archer has entered the box a 'foot fault' is called and the archer must re-enter the box before leaving again. The archer must not remove an arrow from their quiver until they are on the shooting line, otherwise they must re-enter the box and return the arrow to their quiver before leaving again. For both of these fouls the judge will display a yellow card. If the archer does not obey the judge they will receive a red card and lose their highest scoring arrow.
Since April 2010 the sets system has been used instead of the 12-arrow match. Elimination rounds are up of up to 3 sets of 6 arrows, and the finals are made up of up to 5 sets of 3 arrows. If a competitor wins a set they receive two points; if the set is drawn the competitors receive one point each. If a competitor has not won a majority of the sets (2 in a 3 set match and 3 in a 5 set match) the outcome is decided by a single arrow shoot-off with the competitor closest to the middle being declared the winner.

The 529 Plan is a savings plan operated by your state to help you save for college-incurred costs. Generally, they are available to any U.S. resident in any state. 529 is the code number of the IRS law under which these plans are covered. While a student is filling out scholarship applications and the FAFSA, he should also consider any money he has saved in a 529 plan.
The best part about a 529 plan is that the money you invest grows tax-free. Current legislation will keep these earnings tax-free until December 31, 2010. After that, lawmakers will decide whether to extend the 529 code at that time for the savings to continue to grow tax-free.
When the student is ready for college, the distribution from the plan that goes toward college is also tax-free. When the student is ready to go to college, any funds withdrawn from the qualified 529 plan will be distributed 100 percent federal income tax-free if the monies are used for qualified higher education expenses.
If funds are withdrawn and used for any other purpose than education, you will be assessed a 10 percent federal tax penalty.
Some states also let you decide how the money in the 529 plan is invested. Other states or plans might give you a few options on what you can invest in based on your goal for the account.
It is very important to check with your state about residency requirements, minimum contributions and fees. Each state runs its own plan and has different regulations regarding 529 plans. You can find this information at your local bank or credit union. You may also need to research how a 529 plan can affect your eligibility for financial aid when you fill out the FAFSA.
529 Plans for Consideration
The two types of 529 plans are the college savings plan and the pre-paid tuition plan. There should be at least one type of plan offered by your state if you live in the U.S. There are some big differences between the two plan types.
Pre-Paid 529 Plans
Pre-paid plans let parents buy credits from certain colleges to use toward tuition in the future. State governments usually sponsor these plans, but they also have a residency requirement. The child must go to a university or college within the state. One great advantage to a pre-paid plan is that you can lock in today's tuition rate, which is less expensive than tuition rates 18 years from now. Most pre-paid plans only cover the cost of tuition and applicable fees – not room and board. You can choose the amount for your installment payments, which remain steady through the years. By the time the child is 18, there should be enough money to cover most of the college costs.
College Savings Plans
College savings plans are more popular. A parent or guardian can start a savings account for their child to use toward college expenses. He or she has the option of choosing different investment plans to increase the account balance. Typical investment plans include stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc. As the child gets older, the investments become more conservative. The downside to these plans is the investment risk and the fact that they are not guaranteed or insured. In other words, you could potentially lose money in the college savings plan. An advantage to this type of plan is that the money can be used for any type of college expense, including rent, food, books, and school supplies. Most college savings plans have very high limits, so the parent can deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars if he or she desires. One thing to consider with 529 plans is that these plans must be reported on the FAFSA when you fill it out.

Ideally users will be able to track all campaigns, from the presidential down to the tiniest local race which happens to use YouTube. Please say it's so!ReplyDelete
One glance tells me all I need to know - your graphic about video views ignores former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson. There is no reason for YouTube to play the same games as the dying old media outlets - treat all the presidential candidates equally, thank you very much.ReplyDelete
Congratulations, YouTube, for setting a new world record in depth of delusion.ReplyDelete
Which candidate is surging? That's an irrelevant 'horse race' narrative, signifying nothing. Do I want a 'deep dive into each candidate's YouTube stats'? Seriously, is this a parody?
Stop. Just stop and think for a minute about the reason so many people are joining the Occupy Wall Street, Occupy LA, and other similar growing protest movements in the United States. Why are these Americans drawing energy and inspiration from current European protest movements? Here's a hint: it's *not* because they crave more YouTube stats on the existing zoo of abominable candidates.
How does a producer point a new video to this specific area?ReplyDelete

April is a busy and exciting time, especially when gardening with cold frames. While convincing signs of spring are just beginning to emerge outdoors, summer is well under way under the glass. With temperatures consistently 70° or above by day, and the danger of frost essentially gone, almost anything can be grown in the frames by mid April.
By early April, my broccoli and cauliflower plants will be pushing against the glass, exposing them to frost and sunburn. To avoid this, I have built extension boxes that essentially raise the height of my cold frames. By the middle of April, those plants are getting little benefit from the extra heat and protection of the cold frames and I carefully find the proper timing to remove the frames and let the young plants fend for themselves.
I eagerly look forward to the day when I plant out my tomatoes, peppers, and basil into the freed-up cold frames from my liberated crucifers. I again aim for the middle of a warm spell. Started in January, the tomatoes are usually bursting out of their pots, some of them with flowers blooming.
I will plant those tomatoes as deep as I can to encourage extra rooting from the stem, making sure to leave the flowers above ground for the possibility of some early fruits in May. Since determinate varieties of tomatoes have a bushing habit and do not vine like their indeterminate cousins, my cold frame plants don't need trellising. However, the plants do have a tendency to flop over, so to prevent the fruit rot this encourages I have learned to put a hoop tunnel made from fencing for the plants to grow through, giving extra support for the luscious, pendant fruits.
This year I am growing twice as many cold frame peppers as last year. If you have ever struggled, as I have, with getting peppers to flower and fruit in the summer, cold frames may be your solution. I probably got more fruit, in one quarter the area, from my cold frame peppers than I did from the main-crop plants I started outdoors, all due to one month of extra, early protection.
The early-started plants, moreover, were spread out through the whole season and had plenty of time and fruit for early red peppers, unlike the regular plants that were mostly foliage all summer, with an excess of unripe fruits just before frost. Once again, a good example of how concentrated energy and attention can pay for itself multifold!
If you don't have early tomatoes or peppers to plant, don't fret. It is still not too late to start some fast-growing cucumbers and summer squash in pots to be planted out later this month. Kept in a warm, bright location, the large seeds will germinate quickly and will need to be planted out into cold frames before the roots crowd the pot, since cucurbits are not that fond of being transplanted in the first place. In fact, by mid April you could even direct seed those plants right into a free cold frame if you prefer.
Being such powerful tools of growth and transformation, cold frames do not come without certain costs and dangers. They will need constant monitoring, especially at first while getting the hang of it. Expect to learn the hard way, since all it takes is a couple of hours of midday sun without venting to find the foliage of your tender plants burnt to a crisp. Transpiration is also extreme in the greenhouse environment, so frequent watering is necessary. Opening the cold frames completely for soaking rains is ideal.
If you do find your plants burnt or withering, don't give up. I have been amazed at how quickly well-rooted plants (much like their human counterparts) can regenerate themselves. Nevertheless, I hang onto any extra seedlings I have, in order to fill in holes caused by pests or problems. There is nothing more satisfying than a full house of plants.
It is also helpful to have family, friends, and neighbors who are supportive of your cold frame initiative. Otherwise, being tied down to cold frame maintenance will start feeling like a confining chore and not like the labor of love it was meant to be. Those early cauliflowers and tomatoes make flavorful rewards and compensation for the hard work of yourself and others.
Moreover, any mistakes and shortcomings will ripen into lessons for next year's experiments. Already this year I have regretted my early broccoli transplant that left my tender kale and chard unsheltered. Shocked by a sudden drop in nighttime temperature, they lost most of their foliage to frost and windburn and have taken three weeks to recover. In the May article, I will share my revised timeline for next year's sowings and plantings. Until then, happy gardening!

Modern Outdoor Fireplace And Enchanted
Because each living space is different and people have different ideas. Modern Outdoor Fireplace come in different types. For individuals with limited space. Where fire is a great choice for this situation. Include a table of stylish portable fire pits and came up with a design. That provides a more dispersed pattern of heat. Willingness to dump ashes and coals to prevent unnecessary building. Which may prevent the ignition or ash from the wind, affect the enjoyment of the fire.

El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa has announced that his office will be working with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, to share crime info nationwide.
According to the FBI's website, the National Data Exchange, N-Dex, "is America's premier information-sharing tool used by criminal justice professionals to put the right information into the right hands right now."
N-DEx uses criminal justice data from local, state, tribal, and federal agencies across the nation to quickly 'connect the dots' between data that may seem unrelated. It is a repository of criminal justice records, available in a secure online environment, managed by the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division.
N-DEx brings together data such as incident and case reports, arrest reports, computer-aided dispatch calls, traffic citations, narratives, photos, supplements, booking and incarceration data, and parole/probation information. Additionally, N-DEx automatically correlates and resolves data from open and closed reports to detect relationships between people, vehicles/property, locations, and/or crime characteristics. It also supports multi-jurisdictional task forces—enhancing national information sharing, links between regional and state systems, and virtual regional information sharing.
In a press release, the county sheriff's office claims they are the first sheriff's office in the
county state to take advantage of the system.
Read the full press release after the jump.
Through partnership and joint effort with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Sheriff Terry Maketa is pleased to announce the El Paso County Sheriff's Office is the first agency in the State of Colorado to share valuable criminal justice information with the National Data Exchange (N-DEx), a system which provides nationwide connectivity for local, state, tribal, and federal systems for the exchange of information.
N-DEx was developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division. As part of the implementation plan, CJIS began a phased integration of OneDOJ (an information repository and database for Federal Law Enforcement only) into N-DEx in July 2009. With data from agencies participating in N-DEx, and data merged from OneDOJ, N-DEx provides law enforcement agencies an investigative tool to search, link, analyze, and share criminal justice information such as incident reports, field contacts, and incarceration data to enhance law enforcement's ability to fight crime. It allows participating agencies to link information across jurisdictional boundaries by detecting relationships between people, places, things, and crime characteristics.
As of August 13, 2012, the Sheriff's Office is actively "pushing" data from their internal databases to N-DEx, recognizing the value of information sharing for the purpose of solving crime and providing a higher level of service to the community. Sheriff Maketa commented, "This has been better than a year long process for our Office. CBI has been instrumental in assisting us in this transition, as they opened a pathway for us to link information using the National Data Exchange (N-Dex). This will help connect information from law enforcement agencies, jails and prisons from around the country and open up pathways to help solve active and inactive cases."
