Hillary and roman Olimpiads
Dear Hillary Clinton,
How stai? Congratulazions for vincing the nomination. You puoi become the first donna che fa the Presidente, anzi the Presidentess, 'tacci yours, sei brav!
Pur noi make elections these days, Hillary. In two weeks we have the ballottag in many cities and soprattutt a Milan e Rome.
But Milan is not important, this time, because we are candiding the stessa person. And infatti, non tutti know that Sala and Parisi are la stessa person but con sdoppiament of personalità che si crede di esser two different persona, Sala and Parisi appunt.
But Rome is much più important because we are candiding two persone very different: Virginia Rays and Roberto Little-Jackets, which is come sceglier between a martellata in the dents and un kick in the coglions. And poi because a Rome we are discussing super important things.
And infatt, Hillary, you must know that a Rome we are concentrand on the priorities. No, not the fact che Rome is commissariat or che in the streets ci son buche grand come the Como Lake, that when rains you can swim. No, Hillary, nemmen that Rome has a public transport che manco a Baghdad dopo i bombardaments.
Hillary, these are minor things: at Rome we discuss the Olimpiads, invece! Roberto Little-Jacket wants le Olimpiads and dice che le Olimpiads will create più posti di lavoro di tutta la Cassa del Mezzogiorn. Lui and Matthew Renzi pure dicono che se i Five-Stars win le Olimpiads non si make. Virginia Rays dice che she wants the Olimpiads but pure che she non wants them. Louis Di Maio says that we want le Olimpiads only if Five-Stars win the elections: but certament!
Insomm, we only talk about the Olimpiads qui: this is the priority. And allor dear Hillary: we are very delusi that in your first discors after nomination you have not said anything su this important matter. But what we frega of America, and the war and Wall Street se first you non parl di Olimpiads? Verament, Hillary you don't know le priorities. You ci devi dire what to do with Olimpiads. You want them? You don't want them? You want a referendum?
Tell us, Hillary. Sennò how we know that you are able to be Presidentess?
Thank you!

A federal agency is releasing water from a northern California reservoir to help a salmon run on the Klamath River. The extreme drought conditions are making for tough choices.
The added water flowing into the Klamath River comes from the Trinity Reservoir. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation water release is intended to help the fall run of adult Chinook salmon, which has entered the lower Klamath to spawn earlier than normal.
Louis Moore with the Bureau of Reclamation said the drought has produced low and warm water conditions similar to those that caused a massive salmon die-off in 2002.
He said every acre-foot of water is critical during the drought and river and fishery conditions will be monitored during the emergency release.
"Water supply throughout the state is at a lower stage than in years past," said Moore. "We could look comparatively this year, last year, and we would be literally, in some cases, less than half of what we were last year."
Moore said after three years of drought, it was a tough decision to release the water to help the fish run. But the action is taken only after meeting with all affected water users, from agriculture to native tribes.

The Admirals officially have the day off as they take to the road. Rather than pump out an early edition of "Scouting the Enemy" I thought it'd be fun to do a Throwback Thursday photo dump. This will have a mix of Admirals past and present – just a few photos that I gathered up.
By all means, if you find anymore gems, comment down below and I will add it into the mix.
As I said, if you find anymore bits of Milwaukee Admirals nostalgia, feel free to comment and I will add to the photo dump. I've already added a few that were suggested in the comments and via Twitter – so let's add some more!

* OF Dalton Pompey, who is currently plying his trade in the Arizona Fall League, hasn't yet had the time to let his accomplishments this year sink in, including his recently-won Randy Echlin Award as CBN's top Canadian offensive player. The Oakville Royals grad topped the 100 Canadians in hits.
2014 Canadians in the Minors … Canadians in College
2015 Canadian draft list
Letters of Intent
By Alexis Brudnicki
MESA, Ariz. – It's going to take a little more time for Dalton Pompey's big year to sink in.
A lot has happened for the 21-year-old outfielder since June, as he moved from the Class-A Florida State League to Double-A, Triple-A and then finally to the big leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays in September. Then, after a two-day break, he flew out to the Arizona Fall League. It's understandable that he hasn't had time to reflect on any of it.
"I've sat down for a few seconds and thought about it, but for the most part, no, it hasn't [resonated]," Pompey said. "I'm still go, go, go, but I'm just into the off-season and I've already got young kids messaging me and asking me for advice and stuff like that.
"That's when it really starts to sink in. It's like I was there and I made an impact, not only for myself and the team but also young kids, especially from Canada, who have that same dream as me."
After hitting .317/.392/.469 with nine home runs, nine triples, 22 doubles, 84 runs and 51 RBIs through three levels in the minors, not only did Pompey get his first call up to the majors but he also earned this year's Randy Echlin Memorial Award, presented by the Canadian Baseball Network to the top offensive Canadian minor leaguer, the best of the 100 Canucks in the minors. Knowing firsthand how much talent hails from north of the border, the honour holds special meaning for the outfielder.
"I don't know exactly how many guys were in the minor leagues this year from Canada, but I'm sure there are quite a few of us," Pompey said. "To be the top guy, that just proves to me that after all the hard work and dedication I've put in for the past five years that it's actually starting to pay off, obviously with the results, but also in the process of making that happen."
Though it occasionally slips his mind how meaningful it can be for those on the outside to see a local player work all the way up to the Toronto Blue Jays roster, Pompey is often reminded.
"Sometimes I forget [I'm Canadian] to be honest, just because I'm always around Americans all the time," he said. "I'm always reminded from my brother [Tristan] and from people back home, and to be that role model figure to players at home who tell me they look up to me, it's definitely awesome knowing my hard work is paying off, not only for myself but for other people."
Even though Pompey's first shot in The Show came right at home, just down the road from where he grew up in Mississauga, Ont., he hasn't yet had a chance to celebrate the occasion with his family and friends.
His parents, Valerie and Ken, made it to all of his games at Rogers Centre, between working their regular jobs and trying to keep up with 17-year-old Tristan, but the family of four was too busy to sit down together and enjoy the moment.
"I will probably save that for when I go back home," Pompey said. "I was home but I didn't really have that much time to do anything. Then I had two days off before I came here. My parents were working but they came to every game. Right after they were done work they came to the games and stuff like that. It was nice, but I'm sure we'll do something in the off-season."
The Pompey family has a lot to celebrate this winter when they are afforded the chance, with Dalton's obvious successes and Tristan making the Canadian Junior National Team roster for the first time during the squad's fall trip to Orlando to face instructional league competition.
Following in the early footsteps of his older brother, Tristan appears to be on a similar track as a switch-hitting outfielder with speed, an arm, and room to grow after high school. He is doing his best to carve his own path in the game, and Dalton is definitely one of the most excited for his brother's future.
"I was proud of him because I felt like he felt like he had pressure on himself because of what I did," Dalton said of Tristan making the national squad. "I played on Team Canada and I got drafted and all that stuff, and I felt like it got to the point where he was talking to me and saying, 'Man, I'm never going to be as good as you.'
"It was just all that buildup, but he's creating his own path for himself. He worked hard and he got there himself. He put in the work and I know he did, both in the weight room and with my dad and hitting. He wanted it and he pushed himself. I'm proud of him for that and hopefully he can take the next step and continue to get better and see where it goes."
There was a time when Tristan wanted to separate himself from his older sibling, but with some big-league time under Dalton's belt, he's realized sharing a surname can't hurt him and he is reciprocally proud of his brother's accomplishments.
"It's brought a lot more attention," Tristan said earlier this season. "A lot more people ask, 'You're Pompey's little brother, right?'…It's kind of cool because he's on the Blue Jays, so it's something to be proud of, that I'm his brother. I embrace it now."
Dalton believes his successes might even offer chances to Tristan that he didn't have when he was where his brother currently is, before being selected by Blue Jays' Canadian scout, Jamie Lehman, in the 16th round of the 2010 draft out of John Fraser Secondary School.
"It helps that I played in the major leagues and he has the same name as me, so people who know me will know him now," the elder Pompey sibling said. "I feel like it gives him more opportunities, more than I had at least, and he'll get a few extra looks that I didn't get."
When the Arizona Fall League comes to an end in mid-November, the Pompeys should have a chance to sit back and enjoy their time together and realize what they've accomplished over the last several months.
"By the end of it, I was making diving catches and hitting home runs [in Toronto], and I was like, 'where is this coming from?'" he said of the experience. "It was one of those things where I really had to try to enjoy the experience as if I'm never going to experience it again and just try to soak it up and realize that after all my hard work and being a 16th-round pick from Canada, I actually made it and I was playing for my hometown team. It was really special."

Love this one! (especially 'cause I'm a belgian engineer student ;) )
In fact... love the others too... But, frankly, it's hard to figure why americans and canadians always think Belgium is only about waffles. We invented the so-called "french" fries, most of the chocolate types, we have the largest choice of beers in Europe, we created some characters of your childhood (the smurfs, tintin, the marsupilami,...), we are the capital of Europe (sorry about that), the History of our country is one of the european's richest even Julius Caesar said we were the bravest fighters and... we are known for waffles :'( John Stew said it too, damn!
Btw, your blog is a good discovering for me. I'll keep following it between two sleepless nights ;)
I asked my friend Sam if he'd like to do a guest comic for me, and he said sure! Then like any good freelancer, he turned around and subcontracted the work to JJ! WHAT!
The story, as interpreted by JJ, is about how I was not impressed with Belgian waffles. They were too crunchy :/
Thanks, Sam!

Me and and my lil' Nerd enjoy opening a full case of The Loyal Subjects Action Vinyl G.I.Joes!
Me and and my lil' Nerd enjoy opening a full case of The Loyal Subjects Action Vinyl G.I.Joes!
Latest Video is up with an ever better look at these two prototypes. If you would like to see them in person, you can at the Declassified booth this Joe Con.
Check out the video below, if you enjoy it be sure to give it a like and subscribe to the channel.
The previous article about these was:
First (brief) Look at The Loyal Subjects G.I.Joe Wave 2 Baroness! This is a fully colored Prototype, it is not a production final, so some changes could occur.
Keep reading, or scroll down to see a short VIDEO.
Here the Beauty is, and the first thing you will notice is that the glasses come off! As does her backpack, even though it would have been easy to mold on as you can't see all the detail behind the hair. To me that makes extra awesome the time was taken to make sure you could remove it (somewhat flexi head as it is removable) and examine it, maybe even swap it with someone else!
Her Gund looks like the original. Only the handle and trigger give it a way, and I look forward to doing some comparison shots when I get home. Now check out a different angle:
You can see her armor pieces are more silver, like sideshow. Her cobras are not sculpted on, but are Tampo'd so well it works great and means more customizing potentially, (especially for the blue single pack version you can get online) I can already see a way (with some dremeling) to make a Helix and more on top of my planned "Snow bunny", Crimson Asp, Iron Grenadier and Classic comic versions. (Glad I pre ordered plenty of the blue ones)
14 points of articulation. It appears the right hand has a swivel but not the left, or mine might have been stuck. (1 of 3 I'm aware of, with the other 2 at TLS HQ and another the glasses were a bit tight, may be similar here.)
Her eyebrows are sculpted by the way, and she is frankly the most beautiful female Joe figure under 12″s I have seen.
Feel free to ask for specific shots or comparisons and I will do my best to do so when I get home from this training trip.
For those who do not like chases, Yes this baroness will be a chase, but a blue baroness will be available single carded right off the bat, and future baroness figs are coming too
For those who do love the chase, unlocking this super intelligent, helicopter flying, tactical European bad @$$ sniper will make your day.
I will update this post with more pics. But I know I will also be uploading HERE and I already have a bunch in that TLS Folder so feel free to take a look!
A chunk of the What's on Joe Mind crew, (Gary, Mike and Joe) come on to chat with me (Sam) and Tom about the current state of Joe, the current petition to #saveGIJOE and why it is needed. We want to see the con keep happening!

Netherlands defeated Scotland on the final day of the European Women's World Cup Qualifier Championship to seal their place in the Global Women's World Cup Qualifier next year in Bangladesh. They now join Ireland in travelling to the sub-continent in November 2011, with hopes of reaching the ICC Women's World Cup 2013 in India.
It was another excellent batting display as The Netherlands returned to winning ways against Scotland. Batting first after they were put in to bat, the Dutch amassed the highest total of the week, 250, for the loss of just four wickets. Two superb innings, from Helmien Rambaldo (unbeaten on 90) and Marijn Nijman (78), were the backbone of an impressive batting display in which they completely dominated all of the Scottish bowlers.
Scotland's reply began slowly and they were always well behind the required rate despite a solid opening partnership of 49 between Charlotte Bascombe and Catherine Smaill. Smaill's dismissal, bowled by Laura Brouwers for 38, started a sequence of middle order dismissals at regular intervals which reduced Scotland to 122 for six and the game was effectively over. The main destroyer was Esther De Lange with three wickets. Caroline Sweetman swung the bat to good effect to score an unbeaten 35 from 37 balls, but when the overs ran out Scotland were still 59 runs adrift.
Earlier the Dutch innings began badly with the loss of Esther Lanser before a run had been put on the board. When Monday's centurion, Caroline Salomons, was dismissed for a duck the innings was tottering at 45 for three. However, Rambaldo and Nijman had other ideas as they compiled a stand of 124 at a fast rate before Nijman was run out by Sweetman. Her innings included ten boundaries. Denise Hannema then came in to join Rambaldo and they stayed together to the end of the 50 overs. Unfortunately, Rambaldo was unable quite to reach the century that her effort deserved, while Hannema was unbeaten on 28.
So the large margin of victory enabled The Netherlands to jump over Ireland and claim second spot in the Championship table, while Scotland were left without a win for their efforts throughout the week.
For Dutch captain Helmien Rambaldo there was the added honour of claiming the tournament's Most Valuable Player award ahead of ECB's Fran Wilson and Kathryn Doherty.
In the day's other match Ireland needed to defeat the ECB Development XI to clinch the European title, Ireland's hopes disappeared with a disastrous batting middle and lower order batting collapse. Having been put in to bat, Ireland staggered to a total of just 105 before they were dismissed in the 45th over. Only Laura Delany, with 36, offered any real resistance to an English bowling attack which kept to the basic principles of line and length.
The ECB side then knocked off the runs before the end of the 27th over, for the loss of just 3 wickets, with opener Alice MacLeod leading them home with an unbeaten 42. She was well supported by Fran Wilson, who once again batted most impressively before being bowled by Eimear Richardson for 35.
Ireland began confidently and had reached 56 for the loss of just Richardson and Emma Beamish. However, with the dismissal of Beamish, Laura Delany was given no support by any of the subsequent batters as wickets fell quickly. Delany was seventh out, at 90, having made 36 from 110 balls in her attempt to stem the demise of her team. None of the last eight reached double figures as Alex Hartley captured three late wickets to back up the earlier efforts of Kathryn Doherty and Lucy Maxwell, who each claimed two victims.Although the ECB side went in to this match with a win less than Ireland, they had started with a superior net run rate, and so the crushing manner of the victory win ensured them top place.

Ritalin LA and Depression
Stimulants like Ritalin LA are also sometimes used to treat depression. Although not approved for this use, these drugs can help to rapidly improve symptoms of depression. However, the manufacturer of Ritalin LA specifically warns that the medication should not be used to treat severe depression because it has not been studied for this use.
Even though stimulants like Ritalin LA are sometimes used to treat depression, this has also been reported as a possible side effect of the drug. Therefore, if you or a family member is taking Ritalin LA, it is important to know the signs and symptoms of depression. If you notice any of these symptoms in either you or your child, or if something "just does not seem right," you should talk to your healthcare provider right away. He or she will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend treatment options.

STORY FROM: Reinsurance & Arbitration
Arbitration Clause in Maritime Policy Enforceable, 9th Cir. Affirms; Sends Arbitrability Issue to Arbitrator
January 17, 2018
SAN FRANCISCO — An arbitration clause in a maritime insurance policy is enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act, because disputes concerning maritime insurance policies come within federal admiralty jurisdiction, a federal appeals court has affirmed.
On Jan. 16, the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals further held that the trial court erred in resolving the issue of whether the plaintiffs' claims against the insurers are arbitrable, finding the parties clearly agreed that an arbitrator, not the court, should resolve the issue of arbitrability.

New Delhi, May 28 (IANS) JK Tyre and Industries Wednesday reported a 29.37 percent rise in its net profit at Rs.263.02 crore for the year ended March 31, 2014.
The company posted an operating profit of Rs.890 crore for the fiscal under review posting an year-on-year increase of 41 percent.
The company's turnover in the period grew by nine percent at Rs.8,279 crore.
Commenting on the figures, chairman and managing director of JK Tyre Raghupati Singhania said the company has performed well despite a subdued demand for tyres.
"Commercial vehicle production declined and even passenger cars recorded a negative growth, first time ever in the decade. This led to subdued demand for tyres,"
"To combat the sluggish market conditions, JK Tyre undertook several strategic actions by renewing its thrust in the replacement market as also adding new OEMs (original equipment manufacturer). Aggressive efforts resulted in export recording a 23 percent increase during the year."
He added that widening of customer base has helped JK Tyre maintain a healthy performance.
The company further reported that its board of directors have recommended a dividend of 50 percent on equity shares. The decision will come up for shareholders approval at the forthcoming annual general meeting (AGM), to be held later this year.
For the fourth quarter of last fiscal the company reported 12 percent higher turnover of Rs.2,081 crore.
However, the net profit for the quarter under review was down 23.72 percent at Rs.45 crore from Rs.59.03 crore earned during the corresponding quarter of previous fiscal.
The company added that it has undertaken a major expansion at an outlay of Rs.1,430 crore to add capacities in the TBR (truck bus radial) and PCR (passenger car radial) categories at Chennai Tyre Plant. The expansion is slated for completion in phases by early 2016.

Carl Izzo
I am looking for a product that will effectively adhere to cement under tough conditions. This coating will be subject to steamy boiling water. There is an expansion joint as well as the cement that must be covered and protected.
The area is relatively small, 77 × 142 inches. There is a boiler sitting in this area. I need to coat the surrounding area without moving the boiler. Is there a product available to me that will suit my needs? J.F.
Featured Content
Painting concrete can be an enlightening experience. I usually don't recommend it. I don't like to paint brick buildings either. When I had a real job, I was forced to recommend the white material used to paint the red brick buildings at the Westinghouse Research Labs. My greatest nightmare was seeing the paint coming off the building in large block letters spelling IZZO.
Acrylic latex paints work well on concrete buildings. However, they may not be able to withstand the heat and moisture associated with a boiler room. A two-component epoxy floor paint may be as good as any for that application. One of your problems will be to prepare the surface. Oil and grease must be removed. This can be done using an aqueous detergent solution. The cleaning will disturb the concrete, and it may become as alkaline as fresh concrete. Therefore, after degreasing, the surface should be neutralized using an aqueous muriatic acid solution. After the concrete is dry, apply the epoxy floor paint in accordance with the supplier's recommendations.
As far as the expansion joint, if it is flexible, the epoxy will be too rigid and crack. Instead, a flexible polyurethane coating such as that used in automotive applications on flexible body parts should be applied.

Getting to Sibenik / Solaris Resort by Air
To get to Sibenik, you could actually fly to either Split Airport or Zadar Airport. The journey from either is roughly similar, time-wise, although Split is probably marginally closer. There are also more flights to Split from the UK and rest of the Europe, so you might find it easier to fly to here!
From Split Airport, take a bus from outside the terminal building which takes you to the main bus station in Split. Buses are scheduled to depart shortly after flight arrivals. Then, from Split Bus Station, take one of the numerous buses to Sibenik – journey time is about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
From Zadar Airport take a bus to the main bus station in Zadar. Buses coincide with flight arrivals. From Zadar Bus Station, take another bus to Sibenik – journey time is about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Once you reach Sibenik Bus Station it takes only 4 minutes by taxi to reach Solaris Hotels Resort.
Getting to Solaris by Car
If you are coming from Zagreb take A1 highway Zagreb-Split and take off at Sibenik junction. Also, if you are coming by air you can rent-a-car at the airport (Split or Zadar) and also take A1 highway Zagreb-Split if you are at Zadar Airport or A1 highway Split-Zagreb if you are coming from Split Airport and take off at Sibenik junction. From both airports it takes only 30-35 minutes to get to Solaris Resort

McCabe: 'When Housley has something to say, you're going to listen to him'
Hear what the Sabres defenseman had to say with The Instigators on Friday
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Jake McCabe has some history with USA Hockey, leading Team USA to a gold medal at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia. McCabe scored three goals in the tournament, including two in the semifinals against Canada to help get them to the gold medal game against Sweden.
The head coach of that gold medal winning team was current Sabres head coach Phil Housley.
On Thursday, the Sabres hired Housley as the 18th head coach in franchise history. For Housley, this is his first head coaching job in the NHL after spending the past four seasons with the Nashville Predators as an assistant coach. In Nashville, Housley was largely responsible for the success of the defense, which played a huge role in the Predators' run to the Stanley Cup Final this season.
Now, McCabe gets to be re-united with Housley in Buffalo, which has him looking forward to what is to come for the Sabres.
"I think it's exciting," McCabe said with The Instigators on Friday on WGR. "He was such a successful player for how long he played in 21 years or so. Obviously a Hall of Famer and one of the best Americans ever to play the game. It's exciting in that aspect in itself. And especially from a defenseman's standpoint, I think all of us on the back end are probably pretty excited for what he can bring to the table. Just watching Nashville and how impressive they were and it was pretty much driven by their defense. That says a lot about what he did for that team, and what he can do for us too."
While recollecting about the World Juniors, McCabe said that he struggled in the pre-tournament games leading up to going to Russia. Following one of the pre-tournament games he struggled in, Housley approached McCabe and told him to just play the game he can play and success will come. McCabe ended up making the final roster for the tournament, and Housley ended up naming him the captain of the team.
Aside from McCabe, that team was made up of many current NHLers including forwards J.T. Miller, Johnny Gaudreau, Alex Galchenyuk, defensemen Seth Jones, Jacob Trouba, Shayne Gostisbehere and goalie John Gibson. McCabe said that the way Housley handled that team was a huge reason for their success in the seven-game tournament.
"For those tournaments it's tough," McCabe said. "They're such short tournaments and you need to dial it in really quickly. You're pretty much trying to improve every single game. We did that that tournament and he did a great job. There's a lot of talented guys on that team. You've got Galchenyuk, Trouba, Jones, Gaudreau, Miller, the list goes on and on about the star power, up front especially. We had a good d-core on the back end. He paired us up well, and gave us a good balancing act on the back end. He's one of those guys you really want to play for."
Even though it was four years ago when McCabe last played under Housley, he knows the type of respect players gave to him. Now that Housley is ready to take the reigns of a team in the NHL, McCabe couldn't be more excited for what what Housley can bring to the table.
"You know his resume, and you know he knows the game. When he has something to say, you're going to listen to him. That was three or four years ago, so I'm sure he's changed over the last couple of years working under (Peter) Laviolette. Obviously he's learned a lot about the pro game and the coaching game, and he's ready to make the next step. I think we're all pretty excited to see what kind of brand of hockey he wants to us play, and I think the fans will enjoy it as well."
"The way he carries himself and just talks to us, it's with a lot of passion. He really truly just wants to win so bad, and it's easy to get behind when someone carries that passion."
Perhaps what McCabe is more impressed with is the way Housley interacted with his players as a head coach. McCabe appreciates the mentality that Housley brings to the game, which allows the chance for his players for the greatest chance to succeed.
"His (kind of) attitude is just to stick with it, stick with the process and good things will happen. If we fall behind in a game, whatever it may be, he's motivating us to stick with it. We did have a lot of great players, but he did a good job of balancing out who was playing with who and if a guy was not going, he'd get them going and bring them aside. Little things like that go a long way. I think he did a great job in that aspect."
"These guys are anxious I'm sure to see how we're going to get better and get our feet back. Just listening to a few guys in conversations with the media or whoever, a lot of (the issues) is communication with the players which is huge. I think we're anxious to get going, and I think they're ready to listen to us and what we think. It's going to be an exciting year."

Walking in to Carol Barnes's class, you will be immediately struck by the movement, discussions, and technology usage of her students. These students are engaged right from the start and ready to use devices and converse with other students about their learning. Barnes, a middle school math teacher at High Plains K-8 School, is on the leading edge of Thompson School District's mission to personalize learning for all students.
Adopting this type of instruction is no easy feat and allowing middle school students to learn with an increased level of autonomy can build a teacher's anxiety. But Carol came to the realization that developing successful education for students means we need to meet them where they are developmentally. For teenagers, allowing freedom for curiosity and social interactions is a vital part of the learning process, but parameters from the teacher still need to be in place to facilitate academic achievement. To achieve this, Barnes has integrated flexible pacing in her Math classes. "This model of flexible pacing has given the student's the power and control of their education. They can move quickly if they are comfortable or slow down if they are finding it difficult," she explained. Students never need to feel stuck on a Math concept. "Students have also chosen to move on," Carol said, "and come back to it before frustration hits an all time high. They truly have control and autonomy over their learning and I am a facilitator and source of knowledge."
When asked why she moved to this approach, Barnes explained, "My motivation happened 5 years back when [some students were] struggling with current content because [of] knowledge gaps. I wanted to find a safe and encouraging way for students to go back and fill missing pieces before attempting current content, while not holding back those that were ready." Students became more engaged than ever and recognized that the teacher was there to meet their needs, instead of simply teaching Math concepts at a predetermined pace. "I was sure there was a way to meet all aspects of the spectrum in one room but I knew I would have to let go of the norm." There has certainly been a reward to Carol's courage.
But this method of teaching can be very foreign to students, even if it is beneficial. When asked how students have responded, Barnes said, "They love it! The students who normally struggle and get discouraged are getting the help and encouragement they need. The students who are [at a higher level] are able to have a challenge and get support and the middle is not forgotten." Students are bought-in to the process and excited to find their own paths to success through collaboration with their teacher. "Many students now feel more like math is achievable and manageable," Carol stated. Knowing students have that outlook is an incredible feeling for a teacher in any content area.
Consider integrating flexible pacing with your students through utilization of formative assessment tools like iReady or Map.MathShell.org. When in doubt of how to integrate the process, seek out Carol Barnes, EdTech TSD, the Professional Learning Team, or other teachers using flexible pacing and find out how to make this work with your students.

Hillary Emailgate: How One Twitter User Proved The "Intent" That The FBI Missed After Months "Investigating"
Now, courtesy of an opinion piece posted on The Daily Caller, we know exactly how "Katica" pieced her "bombshell" discovery together...the folks at the FBI may want to take some notes.
Per the twitter discussion below with @RepStevenSmith, "Katica" discovered Combetta's Reddit thread on September 16th. But while she suspected that Paul Combetta and the Reddit user known as "stonetear" were, in fact, the same person, she had to prove it...

Poor girl has now got less than 72 hours to live.
- September 27, 2016 at 7:32 PM
She'll be killed in a home invasion where nothing was taken (except her computer, maybe).
Everyone can see the FBI is PROTECTING her.
She could be on film in the White House, stealing artifacts and historical items while carrying an Uzi and smoking a joint.
NOTHING would be done.
The FBI now has the reputation of an ex-felon with something to hide.
No integrity, no character.
Comey must have been paid MILLIONS. Or was threatened with the NSA files on him. How much is a lifetime of integrity worth?
Just make sure you follow the law.
The FBI WILL put you and me in prison and ruin our lives. The only two things that would save you is being a murderous coke dealer with prior convictions, or a multimillion dollar contribution to the Clinton Foundation.
Keep cheering.
- September 27, 2016 at 7:57 PM
FBI didn't want to solve the crime, they already knew all this and figured no one else would figure it out.
- September 27, 2016 at 11:32 PM
The fix was in from the beginning. Comey was appointed with past connections to the Clintons. Our government is corrupt and without real change in this election, things will only get worse. They're covering up for Obama also. He knew all this was going on too.

I have always been fairly conscious about the food we eat and the products we use in our home. Although it's not always easy or convenient, I try my best to buy healthy, unprocessed foods. I am a stickler for always reading the ingredient lists and if I can't pronounce it I don't buy it (usually…I have been known to indulge in a bag of greasy potato chips every now and again!).
And I feel the same about the products we use in our home, especially since becoming a mother. I am very conscious that many of the supplies and products we use on a daily basis – from dryer sheets to cleaning supplies – are often laden with chemicals and other unsavory ingredients.
So when I can, I always make our own all natural homemade all purpose cleaner. It is great for cleaning all of those tiny sticky fingerprints and leftover apple juice spills from every inch of our house. And I can rest assured that it is 100% safe for everyone in our household.
Natural Homemade All Purpose Cleaner {Minty Lemon}
- 1 part vinegar (room temperature)
- 1 part water
- Lemons
- Fresh mint (you can substitute mint for rosemary, sage, lavender, or any other herb you like)
- Mint essential oil (30 drops)
- Spray bottle
- Mix 1 part water to 1 part vinegar in a plastic or glass spray bottle.
- Gently rub the mint leaves together to release their scent.
- Add herbs and lemon slices to spray bottle.
- Add essential oil.
- Gently swirl to mix together.
- Seal spray bottle and let the mixture sit for 12 hours at room temperature to allow the herbs and lemon to infuse.
- Using a colander or sieve, strain the mixture and pour it back into the spray bottle, refrigerate for long-term use.
The vinegar works as a natural disinfectant and inhibits the growth of mold and mildew. I use this cleaner on almost every surface in our house, I especially love using it to clean our daughter's vintage highchair, however, I've read it is not safe to use on marble & granite.
Do you have any favorite all natural cleaning supplies? I'd love to hear about them, leave us a comment below.
Have a beautiful day!

Casa de Campo Altadena, California 2002:
When Glen Hampton garden designs was contacted in 2000 and asked to design the gardens for this residence, it was a 1950's stucco box on a non-descript private street corner. Luckily it was located at the terminus of a T-intersection with a historical street lined with small Mediterranean style casas built in the nineteen-twenties. These casas became the inspiration for Architect Michael D. Robey's transformation of the stucco box into the Casa de Campo as it appears today.
Landscape Designer Glen Hampton created the Mediterranean gardens to compliment Robey's architectural design. A tiled staircase entrance leads up through plantings of cactus, succulents, native plants and olive trees... past a rustic rose garden overrun with Lantana and Rosemary to antique entry gates. The courtyard continues the wild plantings and incorporates a small fountain.
Rounding the corner into the side garden you come upon a lawn area bordered by a wall lined with Loquat trees and espalier pear and apple trees. An iron bench with small fountain and a decorative mirror reflecting the garden are tucked into a secluded spot behind the patio fireplace.
The clients had spoken to other landscape designers who had informed them that their backyard was too small for a swimming pool. However Glen had a vision for a Mediterranean styled pool that would become the rear garden's focal point, and fit perfectly into the setting. The small 16x22 foot swimming pool incorporates an alcove wall fountain, pouring into a glass mosaic tiled basin, through a Moorish styled rill, flowing into a tiled spa, and cascading into the pool. The raised wall fountain and terrace at the back of the pool adds depth to the garden.
A patio runs across the rear of the residence with a welcoming outdoor fireplace as its focal point. Because of the North exposure Glen chose to provide shade by designing a beamed pergola structure with a series of vellum awnings that provide shelter from the hot California sun in summer, but can be left open to let natural light flow into the residence on cloudy days. Because the clients had sensitive skin, but loved to swim, Glen designed a 12x36 foot vellum awning to glide closed with the touch of a button, providing shade over the pools swimming lane.
The Casa's architecture and Mediterranean gardens combine to provide the perfect termination to the casa lined street. Landscape Designer Glen Hampton considers the greatest compliment, to his and Architect Michael Robey's achievements, to be the fact that many people have commented that the Casa de Campo looks like it was constructed at the same time as the 1920's residences lining this historical Altadena street.
Thank you for taking the time to view Our Casa de Campo Altadena, California 2002... We hope you enjoyed it.

It's so easy to take something as simple as the power of words for granted. On one end of the spectrum, certain combinations of words can bring warmth to an entire existence and enrich a soul, especially the loving thoughts of a child. What seems impossible to comprehend is that one untruthful set of words, a single lie derived from a mind too young and innocent to understand their ramifications, could lead to the devastating downfall of a man.
The Hunt tells the story of Lucas, a Kindergarten teacher living a lonely life with his beloved dog, hoping to gain more time with his son Marcus whom he sees far too little due to his divorce. Things begin to look up for Lucas after his wish for custody of Marcus is granted and he enters into a romantic relationship with a young woman he works with, but in an instant his world is torn apart because of one bewildering, graphic lie told by the young daughter of his best friend. The fact that such a thing would exist in the mind of such a small child leads those who heard it to believe in it, and everything Lucas loved and lived for is taken away from him.
In the role of Lucas, Mads Mikkelsen is so brilliant it actually made me feel a little sick to my stomach a few times. I would imagine this is quite the compliment to an actor as long as it is meant in the right context, a performance so riveting, so painful that it elicited a literal churn of my insides. The Hunt is beautifully written and directed, a nuanced masterpiece of dramatic filmmaking that forced me to sit through the duration of the entire credits before I even considered pressing the stop button on the remote. It's haunting, watching the will to live be sucked out of a human being due to something they are accused of that never happened.
While The Hunt is a work of fiction, it felt like anything but because the scenario presented is far too real. When a person is charged with a crime and the court of public opinion comes to the conclusion that guilt is the only plausible possibility, even when a name is technically cleared the stigma remains. Behind the smiles that surround Lucas are the painful reminders that an entire community will always look at him in a different light, as it is impossible to completely undo such a wrong that was done.

Greening of the Bluenose Lodge Inn
As we all know, with antique homes, come antique infrastructure. It has been a slow and steady effort to restore the Inn and all the while it has been a top priority to be kind to the planet while maintaining the Victorian charm of the home.
- How we heat the Inn and provide hot water has been a main focus. By installing highly efficient equipment, we have been able to cut down on oil consumption by over 10,000 liters in the last 5 years.
- Bathrooms have been given updates that include highly efficient, low flow toilets and shower heads.
- We've replaced all laundry equipment with Energuide star rated high efficiency washers and dryers.
- The Bluenose Lodge has also taken part in the Province's initiative to conserve energy by switching to highly efficient CFL bulbs throughout the Inn.
For those of you who are interested, here is some information on some of the products and programs we have implemented in an effort to reduce our consumption and therefore our carbon imprint at the Bluenose Lodge:
The SuperStor Ultra Indirect Water Heater draws energy from a boiler and thus does not need its own heat source. Hot boiler water flows through an internal heat exchanger in the tank, heating the domestic water. The SuperStor Ultra boasts 3-5 times more recovery than conventional gas-fired or electric water heaters.
An endless stream of clean, hot water, and nearly a 30% savings in energy costs are just two reasons we selected an energy-efficient Rinnai tankless water heater solution over a conventional electric tank-style water heater.
Vaughn's Storage Tank combines Hydrastone®, the most effective method of preventing corrosion, with foam, the most efficient material for preventing heat loss.
Vaughn provides economical hot water storage. It is designed specifically for use with a tankless hot water system. The storage system is connected directly through a circulator to the tankless heating coils in the heating boiler. As water is used, or thermostatic controls call for heat, water is circulated through the boiler coils and returned to the storage system. In thisprocess, the system insures consistent water pressure.
For three generations, Vaughn has built their storage tank of heavy gauge steel with seamless one-half inch thick Hydrastone lining and bronze fittings at all water openings. Vaughn's unique manufacturing process has continually combined this old fashioned quality with ongoing advanced technology in providing the longest lasting and most environmentally friendly heater available.
These high-efficiency toilets are engineered to use 30% less water than the standard toilet.
"This is a great opportunity for Nova Scotians to more fully make the switch to highly efficient CFL bulbs," said Anne-Marie Curtis, director, conservation and energy efficiency at Nova Scotia Power. "Not only do CFLs use about a quarter of the energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, they also have a lifespan that is up to 8 to10 times longer. And now with the selection of specialty CFL bulbs available, consumers can use them almost everywhere; giving them an even bigger energy savings." CFL designs include chandelier, outdoor, dimmer, globe, three-way and bathroom vanity lights.

With the holidays right around the corner, there are plenty of excuses to throw cozy dinner parties at your home. As a host (and especially as a Small Kitchen College reader), I'm more than positive that you will have fantastic food and drink ideas to impress your guests — but don't forget the decor! Set the mood right by using simple items that you most likely already own. Take a look around your apartment or dorm, especially your kitchen and see what needs a new burst of life injected into it. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to know you've created something new out of an item that you just had sittin' around collecting dust? It's eco-friendly, extremely kind on your wallet and last but not least, it's pretty fun to do. As much as any of us want to think we're very modest, it kind of feels awesome when someone excitedly asks you "Where did you get that!?" and your response is "Oh, that? I just made it. No big deal. It cost me basically nothing."
Whether it's your dorm or your college apartment, celebrate this upcoming season by bringing some life into your home without actually buying anything new.
**5 Chic and Simple Recycled Decor Tips**
1. Recycled Mosaic Kitchen Art: Advertising fans, graphic designers and package design snobs will all appreciate this project. Taking a look around your kitchen cabinets, you probably see an abundance of color thanks to the labels on various food items. Sometimes I simply hate throwing out boxes or certain labels because they're just so pretty and someone put hard work into designing them. So, once you're finished with food labels or cereal boxes, take a second look and save them! Simply cut portions of the paper into squares (or any shape you'd like) to use for a bright and cheery mosaic that you can show off in any room. It's a great way to add color and also put old packaging to good use.
2. DIY Cement Planters: Next time you're done with a plastic bottle, think twice about throwing it out. Whether the plastic item is big or small, with just a few easy steps you can turn it into a cement planter to add some floral cheer to your kitchen or any other room. If adding flowers to it isn't your thing, you can simply use for display on a table top or above a fireplace. Oh, and don't be afraid of color! Use bright pops of red, gold or silver for some holiday cheer.
3. Cup Holder Wall Decor: Aren't disposable cup-holders such a pain sometimes? Sure they help you not spill multiple scolding hot coffee cups all over yourself while you're juggling a bunch of beverages, but they are pretty useless one you're through with them. So, in the garbage they go, right? Not so fast. What may be seen as trash can easily be turned into treasure. Create a cool lighting installation in your own college apartment to add something extra to the atmosphere.
4. Vintage Cake Plates: Perhaps one of the easiest ways to use items that you either have already in your cupboard or can find at the thrift store are DIY cake plates. Simply take one of your favorite beautiful plates, of any size, and hot glue a candle stick to the bottom. The cake plate pictured above is one of the many I've created just to spruce things up a bit around the house. It's so easy and versatile. If you want to get really fancy, make a tiered version to serve up your wonderful holiday delicacies to guests or to place gorgeous lit candles on top of.
5. DIY Wine Bottle Lights – When it comes to strung holiday lights, the decor opportunities are endless! Purchase a pack of white (or colorful) tiny lights and get going. This project in particular is extra fun because it involves wine. Crafting or working on small home projects just happens to be ten times better when you've got some wine flowing. Once you are finished with your bottle, follow these steps to create a festive form of lighting that is perfect for setting a cozy mood. Place on a buffet table if you're throwing a holiday shindig or place in dimly lit corners to add a bit of sparkle to the room.

Press Release
A website with a high domain authority is likely to appear on the first pages of a search engine result when a search query that contains relevant keywords that is related to the content of the website is made. If you already have such a website, then it is advisable to keep doing what you are doing to maintain the pace. However, if you are just starting out as a webmaster then your new website will automatically have a low domain authority. Instead of sitting down and waiting for some miracle to happen, why not take the steps below and improve your authority.
Focus on guest posts
Featuring a "rich" post in blogs and websites can significantly increase the visibility of your brand online by exposing you to more audience. However, you must only guest post on blogs that are connected to your niche or at least something related. Featuring a guest post in a programming blog when your website is about gardening wouldn't really get you anywhere. Your posts should be helpful and also contain links which direct users to your website.
Focus on Infographics
One of the trends in web design today is the use of infographics. Visitors are more attracted to visually supported information than heavy content. So instead of writing long boring texts every time, try to use attractive infographics that are not too colourful or crowded. Apart from your website, you can also share them on social media pages. Remember, the goal is to get more visitors to your website. As your website traffic increases, you get more backlinks, which in turn increases your domain authority.
Focus on Slides
If you are selling any product or offering any service, then you might want to consider creating presentations about your business on traffic jam sites like SlideShare and YouTube. These presentations should not merely focus on selling your brand, but must also contain useful information for anyone who sees them. Again, the aim is to increase the traffic on your website; so make sure your presentations are planned in such a way that viewers are encourage to visit your site for more.
Focus on Social Media
Social media has always been an effective marketing vehicle for businesses of various sizes. If you can successful feed your community with interesting content and engage them, then you will find it much easier to promote your brand. Make sure you your social media account is linked to your business website. By doing this, you will be capitalizing on the huge audience to drive more traffic to your site. And you know how that affects your domain authority.
In conclusion
No matter what you do, let your aim always be to engage visitors through high quality content, updated regularly. Do not go all out to start advertising your business without making efforts to please potential customers. A high domain authority doesn't only make your site become trusted by search engines, you can equally harness the high traffic to make good money.
Please do not hesitant to contact us to get completely FREE support at anytime.

Ocean Rowing
Gee reflects
Welcome home Bella and Olivia. The girls arrive back in to the UK this morning! So glad you're home- we've missed you!
And just like that, that's it. It's 4 weeks since we completed our challenge of a lifetime, my Antiguan holiday has long since been over and we're all now back in Blighty. Safe to say I haven't missed the cold, rain or wind at all, I don't know how you've all coped! How odd it feels to be back in England. In fact it still feels a little weird to be back on land separated from our boat and the girls let alone back in the UK. Read more
As I begin this the time is 20.11 (boat time), its 23.11 in the United Kingdom and roughly 18.11 in Antigua. We have just passed under the 60nm marker and are rowing and hand steering currently holding 3.2 knots. I am in the bow cabin with the laptop safely under my arm to write the final blog. It's a weird thought to know that this time tomorrow (fingers and toes crossed) our feet will be firmly on Antiguan Soil… but here it goes, you'll be hearing from me all throughout the night.
Well we thought we'd finally take the opportunity to down tools and update you on the last week or so- and I mean literally down tools. It's been an interesting time on HMS RLAG with seemingly one thing after another being sent to test us.
Author: Eva Armbrust
Fan mail to: 17° 57.61 N, 042° 45.72 W
No, I didn't receive any. I'm writing it. A first timer in 33 years. Last time I considered doing that I was 13 years old and the lucky recipient would have been Mark Owen from Take That. I didn't end up doing it.
20 years onwards and equipped with slightly enhanced English skills, I'm giving it a try. Not to Mark though, sorry buddy. This letter is for a woman, a colleague, a friend. Read more
The RLAG Guide to Waves
A wave is just a wave right? Wrong. We've become quite accustomed to the waves out here and how they affect our rowing, body and mentality. Here's our definitive guide…
The Surfer – this is the best type of wave, it picks up the boat and propels it forward at superhuman speed. It feels like you've picked up a power box in that game Mario Kart and got the speed boost – does that make sense?! It's epic and I absolutely love them. This is the only good type of wave and comes rarely.
Blog update from Gee
It's official as I come to you from the stern cabin; typing on the laptop with my own blistered hands, the vomcano has fallen silent. Chunder shall erupt no more aboard Mrs Nelson- crosses fingers- that being said I wouldn't want to tempt fate so will keep this relatively short and sweet. Just a quick note on vomit whilst I'm at it- man it sucks. There is absolutely no escape or relief from the feeling of seasickness. Almost instantly having been sick you feel nauseous again, it's unrelenting. For the first 5 days or so having to hold this routine whilst not eating or drinking and constantly vomiting was not fun. Hence it's taken me until now to brave the blog writing in the cabin- the feeling was just too unbearable to voluntarily put myself through it. But finally a blog from Gee, I hope it's a good'n.
'Our beautiful pea green boat' Blog 3 from Olivia
So here we are then.. Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, nearly half way in fact at 1700m from Antigua in our 'beautiful pea green boat' we like to call Mrs Nelson.
Hygiene is certainly key to short term happiness out here, once a day or so teeth get brushed, hair plaited, boat scrubbed and rubbish rinsed and stored – all executed whilst we pitch and roll over 20 – 30 ft waves. These waves are enormous, but it's not the big waves that we have found to be the problem to date, the ones to watch out for are the sneaky little sideways lickers that creep up, pitch the boat off balance and spit all over crew and contents, leaving everything drenched 5 minutes before it is time to retreat back to the warm cabins.
Update 1 from Bella – BAPTISM OF FIRE
Hi ALL! Apologies for the radio silence, today is day 5 and the first day we've been able to consider sitting in a small hot cabin and write a blog without vomiting everywhere.
The first two days were exhausting, the weather – although great for a fast start – was a real baptism of fire. Strong winds, huge waves, torrential rain to the point that you couldn't see and A LOT of sick from Lauren and Gee. I have so much respect for those two girls, they battled through every bout of vomit, got on the oars and stayed as cheery as you can do when feeling that ill. Gee was very grateful that we cleaned the bucket with angel smelling disinfectant in La Gomera! Olivia was a little sick and my iron stomach lived up to it's to reputation.
Week 2 in La Gomera
Rum Party:
Tuesday night had the fleet crowded around Wa'Omoni, the Antiguan team 'Wadadlis' boat for a rum (rocket fuel) party. These guys know how to row an ocean, and how to have fun with it! Packed into their R45 you will find pots and pans, a pressure cooker, packets of rice and tons of fishing kit! Based on the taste of their rum punch at the boat party – setting foot on Antigua is set to be bright! Read more

Cheat Sheet
iPhone & iPad Web Design For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Many people surfing the mobile web do so on an iPhone or iPad, so designing mobile web sites targeted to these devices makes sense for many web designers. Start creating your web design for the iPhone or iPad by choosing a design strategy. If you decide to design targeted websites for the iPhone and iPad, start by understanding the web design basics that make a site work well for iPhone or iPad users.
Choosing a Strategy for Your Mobile Web Design
People now view web pages on everything from tiny cellphone screens to projectors that light up the side of a barn. The constraints you face in mobile web design for the small iPhone screen can feel like painting Easter eggs in a straitjacket. And even seasoned professionals find designing mobile websites that look great on screens of every size and dimension challenging — even on the slick-looking iPhone screen.
One of the most exciting aspects of creating websites for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch is that they offer you a chance to completely rethink how you design for the Internet.
Design is highly subjective — you either love pink or you hate it and there's probably not much we can do to change your mind. But beyond the color choices and font preferences (which we leave up to you), here are two approaches to mobile web design for the iPhone and iPad:
Create multiple designs for optimal display on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This strategy enables you to make the best use of the screen whether it's in portrait or landscape mode. You can also take advantage of the larger iPad screen while sticking with a single-column design that works best on the iPhone and iPod touch. Creating all these designs is, of course, more labor intensive than creating one web page or mobile web page. If your audience uses mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad to visit your website, however, the work is worth the effort.
Designing one flexible page layout that can adapt to the size differences of an iPhone, iPad, and even laptops and the monitors people still keep on their desks. If you choose this mobile web design strategy, you don't have the flexibility that targeted designs offer. You can deliver a website that meets your visitors' needs and works well on a range of devices by sticking to a few guidelines. First, don't use Flash in your website design because Flash doesn't work in the iPhone or iPad. Also, you want your site to fill the screen on an iPad in portrait mode, so don't cut off the length of your page at 600 pixels. Instead, size the page to 980 pixels wide by at least 980 pixels long. Last but not least, when testing, view your site on the devices most important to your audience, making sure the images load quickly and look clear no matter what the sizes of your visitors' screens are.
Optimizing Your Mobile Web Designs for the iPhone
Yes, the iPhone screen is small, but you should stop thinking about constraints and start focusing on the amazing new opportunities iPhone web design offers — such as attracting an audience of people on the move, people who may be standing right outside your restaurant, for example, while they look at your menu on their iPhones and consider whether to eat there.
When designing a website for the iPhone, remember the following key points:
Every pixel counts. You don't have much room to play with, so be sure not to waste a single pixel in your mobile web designs.
Create mobile iPhone designs with only one column of information. Multicolumn layouts just don't fit well on small screens like the iPhone screen.
When you create a special design for the iPhone, be sure to include a link back to the desktop version of your website. Visitors to your mobile website may already be familiar with the desktop version and may prefer to visit the version that's already familiar to them, even if they're using an iPhone. The mobile version of the Safari web browser aims to display any desktop site as well as a desktop computer does, and with the exception of the smaller screen size, it comes darned close.
How to Create iPad-Friendly Mobile Web Designs
The iPad, with its big beautiful screen, may lead you to believe you don't need to do anything special in your mobile web design, but the best web design techniques for the iPad are not the same as those for the desktop.
Although the iPad provides far more screen real estate than the iPhone, it still creates new challenges for mobile web designers. Remember the following when designing mobile websites for the iPad:
Design for both orientations: The ability to turn the iPad from landscape to portrait mode dramatically alters the screen space for your web designs.
Make the most of HTML5 and CSS 3: When you're designing for the iPad, you don't have to worry about all the web browsers still used on desktop computers, so you can take full advantage of the latest in these web design technologies.
Test iPad designs on an iPad: When you create content for the iPad, you're probably using a machine that's quite different from the iPad. Don't test your work in the same place you develop it. You may still have to do most of the design and coding of your iPad sites while sitting at a desktop or laptop computer, but when you're done, get up, stretch out, and go sit in a comfy chair to see how your website looks and works on an iPad.
Test your web page designs in different lighting situations. Take the iPad outside to see how your pages look in bright sunlight, and bring the iPad to bed with you to see how your mobile web design looks when you hide in the dark under the covers. (Don't you just love not needing a flashlight to read on the iPad, the way we did when we wanted to stay up late to read books as children?)

Not really identity theft but more the loss of an identity.
I was perusing the main Eurovision news site www.esctoday.com and was surprised to read a story about one of my favourite Russian singers, Dima Bilan (I mentioned him in my entry on Nordic Euroboypop).
It appears that Viktor Belan (Dima's real name) has lost the right to use his stage name, Dima Bilan. After a three year court battle, it has been ruled that his name belongs to an agency and he cannot use it anymore although he is well known both in Russia and internationally by that name.
I have never heard of this happening before. With a group's name, yes but never an individual singer. Even stranger is that his real surname (Belan) is very close to his stage surname so what is the problem? What is this agency going to do with the name? Give it to another singer? How stupid is that?
Viktor still has the right to appeal this crazy decision and I hope he does although I will still like him regardless of whether he is Dima or Viktor.
What next? The Catholic Church suing Madonna over her name?
UPDATE 8 MARCH 2008 – Dima will be performing this weekend at the national final to select this year's Russian Eurovision entry. He will be singing the song Believing arranged and produced by Timbaland. The good news is that he will be performing as Dima Bilan. His management have stated that despite the court case, he will continue to perform as Dima Bilan. To quote his management "Dima Bilan is Dima Bilan". [source: www.esctoday.com]
Good luck, Dima.
