<!--StartFragment-->If you're like me, you experience breakouts from time to time and they somehow always happen before an important event (eek!). When you think of acne, you might have high school flashbacks, but did you know that nearly 51 percent of women ages 20-29 still experience breakouts? June is Acne Awareness Month and we spoke with dermatologist Dr. Linda Stein Gold, who offered some great tips when dealing with acne during your adult years.
Q: What are some ways people with acne prone skin can prevent breakouts?
A: First, it's important to understand that every individual's skin is different, and what sparks a breakout in some people may not trigger a breakout in others. However, there are a few common factors that can contribute to acne and breakouts including genetics, stress, birth control and hormonal changes. So, it's important to see your dermatologist and talk about a skin-care regimen that is tailored to you.
Q: Why does adult acne happen to some people and not for others? How many adults are affected by it?
A: Acne is the most common skin condition affecting approximately 60 million Americans. The causes of acne are a tricky subject and can change from person to person. Some people tend to experience acne in their teen years, while others experience acne as adults.
Q: What is the difference between adult and teenage acne?
A: Given that acne can arise in teens or adults, the main difference is truly age. Additionally, women tend to break out more often along the jaw line.
Q: There's the age old myth that diet influences acne, is this true?
A: The relationship between diet and acne is still being studied. However, there have been studies, which showed that a low-glycemic load diet (e.g., raw veggies, eggs, nuts, yogurt) improved acne symptoms.
Q: What are some products that are safe for acne prone skin? (e.g., makeup, cleansers, moisturizers etc.)
A: When working with my patients, I tailor their treatment based on the severity of their acne and lifestyle. I find that patients with mild to moderate acne do well using once-daily combination products. I tend to incorporate a topical retinoid into my treatment regimen as well as benzoyl peroxide. By using a combination treatment, your skin can be simplified into one acne medication, versus two or more. I always tell my patients to use a moisturizer with an SPF 30 or higher, especially when you are using acne medication, since this can make your skin more sensitive. It is also important to use a gentle skin cleanser and oil-free makeup as part of a healthy skin regimen.
Q: What is an absolute no-no when dealing with acne?
A: The biggest no-no in my book is popping pimples. It's not just an old wive's tale- popping pimples can cause real damage to your skin. It's tempting, but when you squeeze or pick at pimples, you may be pushing the inflammation deeper into your skin and making things worse. Your best bet is to fight the urge to squeeze and leave them alone.
Q: And an absolute must?
A: Use sunscreen on a daily basis- even in the winter. It's so important to understand that even if you never had sensitive/sunburn prone skin before. Acne treatment can change the skin.
Q: Finally, what's the biggest acne myth people need to stop believing?
A: The biggest myth I've heard is that acne is the rite of passage that you just need to "accept." This could not be farther from the truth. A dermatologist can help you get on the right skin regimen based on the type of acne you have, and prescribe a treatment that is right for you and your lifestyle.
Most importantly, if you or someone you know is suffering from acne, make an effort to save your skin by seeing a dermatologist. For further information on acne awareness month and to find a dermatologist near you, visit www.acnemonth.com

The Kansas City Art Institute's spring lineup of artists, designers and scholars that spoke as part of the college's "Current Perspectives" lecture series during the spring 2009 semester are listed below.
This evening's event will feature a screening of the film "The Rising Tide" followed by a discussion with the film's director Robert Adanto. "The Rising Tide" investigates China's meteoric march toward the future through the work of some of the nation's most talented emerging artists, whose work reflects the country's rising influence as an economic and cultural force in the global arena and conveys some of the social and aesthetic confusion created by a society experiencing such rapid change. Produced within the dual context of globalization and urbanization, the work of artists Cao Fei, Xu Zhen, Yang Yong, Wang Qingsong, Chen Quilin, Birdhead and Zhang O examines the collision between the present and the future, as well as the confusion and ambiguity that characterize the new China. Robert Adanto, an independent documentary filmmaker, earned his M.F.A. degree in acting at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and is currently working on two new documentary projects: a short film set in Kibera, one of the largest slums in Nairobi, Kenya, and a second project that will take him to Tehran. For more information on the film and to view a trailer, visit www.therisingtidefilm.com.

Fletcher exhibits in San Francisco and Los Angeles with Jack Hanley Gallery, in New York with Christine Burgin Gallery, in London with Laura Bartlett Gallery and in Paris with Gallery In Situ. He was a participant in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. Fletcher has work in the collections of MoMA, The Whitney Museum, The New Museum, San Francisco MoMA, Berkeley Art Museum, the de Young Museum and the FRAC Centre in France. In 2002 Fletcher started "Learning to Love You More," an ongoing participatory Web site with Miranda July. A book version of "Learning to Love You More" was published in 2007 by Prestel. Fletcher is the 2005 recipient of the Alpert Award in Visual Arts. His exhibition "The American War" originated in 2005 at ArtPace in San Antonio and traveled to Solvent Space in Richmond, Va., White Columns in New York, The Center For Advanced Visual Studies MIT in Boston, PICA in Portland, Ore. and LAXART in Los Angeles, among other locations. Fletcher is a professor of art and social practice at Portland State University in Oregon.

Professor Kirby received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and teaches at Florida State University in Tallahassee, where he is the Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of English and where he has received three University Teaching Awards. He recently completed a new book, "Little Richard: The Birth of Rock 'n' Roll."
Jennifer Woodin is an artist, designer and educator working in the field of ceramics. Originally from California, she is currently a visiting professor at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada. She received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from California State University, Chico in 1996. For eight years, Woodin pursued a career in both mechanical and civil engineering. Starting a second career in the arts, Woodin received her M.F.A. degree from the University of Oregon. Her research and practice combine aspects of the two careers forming a unique line of inquiry. Her current works explore the empathic connection between the vocabulary of industrial plumbing and human anatomy through the use of mass-produced porcelain objects. Woodin recently received a six-month artist-in-residence award from the International Ceramic Research Center in Skaelskor, Denmark. She has presented lectures at NCECA and the H.O.P.E.S. conference for the Ecological Design Center in Oregon. Recent exhibitions include "Taiwan Biennial '08," Grimmerhus Museum in Denmark, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Oregon, "Ninth International Shoebox Sculpture Exhibition" in Hawaii and "Clay-Industry" in Denmark.
A 1982 painting graduate of KCAI, Ke-Sook Lee received her first B.F.A. degree in applied art from the College of Fine Art at Seoul National University in 1963. After school, she worked as a graphic designer at Yu-Yu Pharmaceutical Company. In 1964, she and her husband came to the United States. She did post-graduate work at the University of Missouri and worked part-time as a graphic designer in the illustration department at the university's hospital. Then she became a full-time homemaker for the next 16 years, during which time she did a lot of sewing. Lee's work explores the boundaries of drawing, adopting common marks from everyday life as drawing marks such as worn holes, mended holes, wrinkles, folded marks and layered doily marks on wet pulp. She collects embroidered or crocheted vintage household linens and recycles them by incorporating them with her drawings. She is the recipient of a Charlotte Street individual grant (1999), a Lorenzo Il Magnifico first-place award in new media and installations, 4th Florence Biennale, Italy, and an individual artist fellowship from the Kansas Artists Commission. She has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and Kansas City as well as internationally.
Xing Danwen is one of the most active and acclaimed of China's contemporary artists. Originally trained as a painter at Xi'an Academy of Fine Art and Beijing's Central Academy of Fine Art, Xing Danwen turned to photography in the 1980s. In 1989, she photographed student democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square and went on to travel throughout China as a photojournalist documenting Tibetan villagers and coal miners. Throughout the 1990s, she chronicled the experimental performances of a new generation of artists living and working in Beijing's East Village in a series entitled "A Personal Diary of Chinese Avant-Garde Art in the 1990s" and became one of the earliest contemporary artists in China to explore the medium of photography as an art form. She received her M.F.A. degree in photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2001. Since then, she has created critical and conceptual works that explore the increasing impact of China's ongoing transformation. Fiction, truth and illusion often play an important role in her works, especially in the recent series "Urban Fiction," which is included in the exhibition "Stairway to Heaven: From Chinese Streets to Monuments and Skyscrapers" at the H&R Block Artspace at the Kansas City Art Institute.
Paul D. Miller is a composer, multimedia artist and writer. Miller is well known under the moniker of his "constructed persona" as "D.J. Spooky That Subliminal Kid." Miller has recorded extensively and collaborated with a wide variety of musicians and composers such as Iannis Xenakis, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kronos Quartet, Kool Keith a.k.a. Doctor Octagon, Pierre Boulez, Killa Priest from Wu-Tang Clan, Steve Reich, Yoko Ono and Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth among many others. Miller's work as a media artist has appeared in a wide variety of contexts such as the Whitney Biennial; The Venice Biennial for Architecture; the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany; Kunsthalle, Vienna; The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh; and many other museums and galleries. His written work has appeared in The Village Voice, The Source, Artforum and Rapgun. He is an editor of the magazine 21c and the author of "Rhythm Science" (MIT Press, 2004). "Sound Unbound," an anthology of writings on sound art and multimedia by contemporary cultural theorists, was published this year, also by MIT Press.
This evening's event will feature a screening of "Proceed and Be Bold!" followed by a question-and-answer session with the subject of the film: Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. Kennedy is an internationally recognized printing press artist, though he would rather be referred to as a "humble Negro printer." Kennedy tossed aside his corporate 9-to-5 job at AT&T with its steady income, choosing to live in extremely rural Alabama towns and going wherever his art takes him. He found his calling making chipboard posters he sells inexpensively, so anyone and everyone can afford his art. His posters are socially, politically and racially charged, with quotes from Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks and phrases like "coffee makes you black." The documentary film "Proceed and Be Bold!" probes Kennedy, his friends, family and colleagues in an attempt to unravel the artist's meaning. The result is a discussion on the monetary and intrinsic values of art, the goals of an artist, the workings of race and culture and what "the American Dream" really means.
Miguel Rivera joined the KCAI faculty in fall 2008 to serve as chair of the printmaking department. A practicing artist as well as an experienced educator, Rivera has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Mexico, Japan and the United States. Formerly he was chair of the art department at the University of Guanajuato in Mexico and also served as an associate professor of printmaking and computers in art.

It seems like every week, news headlines highlight some amazing story about a cat that got lost in an airport or another busy place. The cat often miraculously finds its way back home, even if it takes months or even years.
The reality is that most lost cats never make it home. The reasons may be many, and the outcomes can be tragic; however, the bottom line is that an indoor-only lifestyle is best and safest for your feline, with you making sure that your cat should never become one of the lost victims.
It's true that cats possess extraordinary sensory perception. Jeff Horn, a former graduate student in the University of Illinois department of natural resources and environmental sciences, and his colleagues recently studied outdoor cats. They determined that one feral cat had a home range of 1,351 acres. Conversely, the mean home range for pet cats in the study was less than 4.9 acres.
To handle any of these distances, cats put their incredible senses to work. Consider the following:
Smell Humans have approximately 5 million scent-receptive nerve endings in the nose. Impressive, right? But not when you consider that the average cat possesses 19 million of these scent receptors. Using scent alone, your cat can probably smell its way out of many situations.
Hearing Cats can hear sounds that are two octaves higher than what humans can detect. Cats may then perceive ambient sounds that can help them orient themselves.
Touch Each and every whisker and piece of fur on your cat receives information from the environment and sends it to your cat's brain for processing.
Navigation Studies are ongoing, but it's possible that cats, like birds, can inherently detect the earth's gravitational field. This would give them a sense of direction, even without pertinent visual cues. Birds need this when flying. It's possible that cats have this skill as well, although my guess is it would be to a lesser degree than what birds possess.
I'm sure we'll continue to hear stories about lost cats finding their way back home. But you don't want your cat to be in such headlines, especially since the ending may not be a happy one.

Ray's Take Let's assume you've done the right thing and have a will in place. That is a good start, but it's not enough. You need to regularly review your will to make sure it stays in line with your intentions and the law. Congress continues to kick the can down the road on important income tax and transfer payments, but we now have pretty good guidance on estate tax laws both federally and in Tennessee.
One big area that demands attention would be family changes like a new child or different marital status. Moving to a new state is an important reason to review your will, as laws regarding inheritances and taxes could vary. Owning real estate in multiple states is another good reason to double check things.
Even if nothing changed, it's good to meet with your family attorney to assure your will still works as intended. Older "formula" tax planning wills particularly need review. Don't forget that beneficiary designations on retirement plans, insurance and annuity contracts are not covered by your will, and those choices need to be looked at.
Other changes could call for adjustments, too: Realizing newly acquired wealth, anticipated inheritance, the physical or mental incapacity of a relative or other beneficiary, selling or buying a business, grandchildren children coming of age, or your own retirement, adjustments may need to be made. A guardian or trustee choice when your kids are young may not still be the best bet when the kids grow to teens.
You may also have changed your mind, and want to add a newfound relative or eliminate once important bequests. Later in life you may develop a connection to some charity or other organization that you want to support after your death. Pull out your will, see your lawyer and keep things current. Doing this regularly, and after any major change, will go a long way toward avoiding potential problems.
Dana's Take While reviewing your will, take the time to make changes that might guide your heirs in the disbursal of family treasures. You may have told your oldest daughter she will inherit that diamond pin, but if it isn't in your will she may not get it. That could cause a family rift.
Ask your heirs if they have any particular interest in any of your possessions. If you agree with their desires, put them in your will. Not only will they be pleased you remembered their interest, it will also help eliminate potential squabbles after you are gone.
Take things a step further and add family history to their inheritance. Tuck notes describing the where, why, when and who of important objects and attach them to their back or bottom. It's a good way to share family stories and strengthen ties between generations to come.

text: Health insurance isn't the only thing you need to consider when making decisions about benefits offered by your employer. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor October 13, 2009 I read your article about open enrollment for employer-sponsored health plans. What other decisions will I need to make during open-enrollment season?Within the next month or so, most employees will get that big pile of paperwork with information about their 2010 benefits. Health insurance is the big-ticket item to consider (see Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage Costs Rising for more information). But there are also some other important decisions. Here are five additional things you might want to do during your open-enrollment period: Sponsored Content Boost your medical flexible spending account contribution for 2010. If your employer is increasing deductibles and co-payments for your health insurance, as many are, then it's a good idea to put more money into your flexible spending account. Because your FSA contributions avoid income and Social Security taxes, you can save 35% or more compared with spending after-tax money on these medical expenses. Use our How Much Should I Put in My Flexible Spending Account? calculator to figure out how much you will save. Many employers limit medical FSA contributions to $3,000 per year. Plus, you must use the money by December 31 (or March 15 of the following year, in some plans) or lose it. Make the most of a dependent-care flexible spending account for child-care expenses (or home health care for a parent or other dependent family member). This money avoids income and Social Security taxes, too, stretching your dollars much further. Most families will come out ahead by using an FSA rather than the dependent-care tax credit. See my column Flexible Spending Account vs. Dependent-Care Credit for more information. You can also use our calculator to help decide how much money to set aside in a dependent-care flex plan (the maximum is generally $5,000 per year). Advertisement Consider buying more disability insurance. Many employers offer a limited amount of disability insurance to their employees as a free employee benefit. But these policies generally cover just 60% of your base pay (not counting any bonuses), and your pretax monthly benefit may be capped at $5,000 to $10,000. If that isn't enough to cover your bills, consider buying extra coverage through your employer. You may be able to find a policy that provides more-specific coverage for your line of work, and you can take the policy with you if you leave your job. Plus, if you pay the premiums yourself, you won't have to pay taxes on the benefits. If you buy a policy now, you can keep it if you leave your job or start your own business –- when it would otherwise become much more difficult to qualify for coverage. Look into long-term-care insurance. More employers are offering long-term-care insurance coverage during open-enrollment season. In most cases, employees have to pay the full premium themselves, but they'll generally get a group discount of 5% to 10%. Long-term-care policies offered through employers are usually a much better deal now than they were in the past. The first generation of group long-term-care policies didn't require a medical exam, so they were a good deal for people with health problems. Otherwise you could find a better policy and price on your own. But newer employer-sponsored long-term-care policies now offer preferred-health discounts, spousal discounts and a much wider range of coverage options. Check your beneficiaries. Make sure your retirement-plan and insurance-policy beneficiaries are up to date, especially if you've gotten married or divorced or had a child recently. Keep in mind that your beneficiary designations supersede your will, so if you've kept your will up to date but haven't changed your beneficiary designations, the intended person may not inherit your accounts.

1963 Cadillac DeVille Convertible - Dream Come True
Max Gilmore's '63 Cadillac Deville Convertible
It's the typical curse of any shop owner: you can fix anything brought to you but it's hard to find the time to do the work on your own projects. We see the problem time and time again. Plumbers have leaky pipes in their home, and mechanics have cars that are running on seven cylinders instead of eight.
For those who own paint and body shops, it's sometimes hard to break away from the daily grind to grind daily on a personal project car (plus customers can never understand why you can find time to work on your own car while their car sits in the corner).
Max Gilmore, from Lake Forest, California, has always had an interest in smaller cars, and began customizing Volkswagens when he was still in his mid teens. A little later he was introduced to the world of hot rodding and fell in love with the cars of the '30s and '40s. Over the years he's owned a handful, but a few years back he thought he'd like to go the other way and go big-and we mean really big!
Cadillacs from the '60s are about as big a car as you can get and, when they're fixed up correctly, nothing else on the boulevard can come close to the eye appeal a low-slung Caddy can generate. Though a builder of cars for the past few decades, Max got more involved in the process when he became the owner of South County Auto Body five years ago. The shop, with its chassis rotisserie and custom paint capability, also features prominent So-Cal pinstriper Jeff Styles laying down the lines on street rods as well as many other types of vehicles.
So when Max found a gentleman who was thinning his herd of '60s-era Cads, he thought a big, long, black Caddy convertible would be just the car to tote his kids in back and forth to the beach. Gilmore ended up buying a '63 DeVille that was fairly complete but needed a full restoration (which was right up his shop's alley).
The idea on the build would be to keep a fair amount of the body stock, but shave the door handles and emblems while leaving some of the accent trim pieces intact. The front suspension, while mostly stock (they did add an Air Ride Technologies air bag system), was rebushed and rebuilt. Bags also made it on to the rear of the car and, when the car is set to "profile" and laid out on the ground, Max says it looks like it is a mile long.
Once the fabrication and bodywork was complete, which included having Mike Hight of Hight Fabrication (Lake Forest, CA) run the exhaust through the rear bumper, the car was rolled into South County's paint booth and sprayed with liberal coats of PPG black #1683 paint.
Power for the behemoth lurks under the large hood: a rebuilt 472 '63 Caddy V-8 that looks simple and clean in its presentation. But simple and clean is the main theme that runs throughout the 223-inch-long cruiser, and it looks like Max got exactly what he was looking for-a cool custom cruiser that looks good rolling down the highway.

July 2012 has been designated as National HIV Awareness Month. The goal of National HIV Awareness Month is to re-ignite our national discourse on the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic in order to create broad-scale public awareness of HIV/AIDS, end HIV stigma and discrimination and engage new stakeholders in the fight against the disease, with the ultimate goal of ending the epidemic.
Since the explosion of the global pandemic, many Americans have come to view HIV/AIDS as a problem solely affecting the developing world. National HIV Awareness Month will serve as a platform to re-engage civil society, the private sector, federal agencies and community organizations, who together have the potential to reach the broad swath of Americans who remain untouched by current HIV education effort.
In July 2012 the International AIDS Conference will take place in the United States for the first time in more than 20 years. July 2012 also marks the second anniversary of the release of the United States' first-ever National HIV/AIDS Strategy by President Obama.
National HIV Awareness Month is intended to issue a challenge to civil society and the private sector to create and invest in new and innovative awareness, testing, and public engagement initiatives that address the domestic HIV/AIDS crisis and foster a compassionate response over the course of July 2012.

Oh... My... God...
I can't believe how much time I spent on this LITTLE thing called the Storyline Dropdown. I tried using the ComicGenesis tag from the CG Wiki tutorial, and it didn't work, so I eventually got it right copying and pasting the Javascript code from a random website's tutorial on general dropdown menus.
Well at least I got this one right. It's been bothering me for a really long time, and now you guys can jump to the beginning of each episode using the dropdown without having to click through every entry in the archive.
I'v gotta use my forum more often, lol. There's going to be a big announcement next week.. as it's nearing towards the first anniversary of Leaf Diaries. Until then, laterz!

The Big Apple is getting another "biggest": the world's tallest Ferris wheel, part of an ambitious plan to draw New Yorkers and tourists alike to the city's so-called "forgotten borough."
The 625-foot-tall, $230 million New York Wheel is to grace a spot in Staten Island overlooking the Statue of Liberty and the downtown Manhattan skyline, offering a singular view as it sweeps higher than other big wheels like the Singapore Flyer, the London Eye and a "High Roller" planned for Las Vegas.
Designed to carry 1,440 passengers at a time, it's expected to draw 4.5 million people a year to a setting that also would include a 100-shop outlet mall and a 200-room hotel.
It will be "an attraction unlike any other in New York City — in fact, it will be, we think, unlike any other on the planet," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said as he unveiled the plans against the backdrop of New York Harbor. While the privately financed project faces various reviews, officials hope to have the wheel turning by the end of 2015.
The wheel would put Staten Island on the map of superlatives in a place where "biggest" is almost an expectation — home to the nation's biggest city population, busiest mass-transit system, even the biggest Applebee's restaurant.
The attraction stands to change the profile of the least populous and most remote of the city's five boroughs, a sometime municipal underdog that has taken insults from New Jersey and was once known for having the world's largest ... landfill.
"It's going to be a real icon. The Ferris wheel will be Staten Island's Eiffel Tower," Sen. Charles Schumer enthused.
As a visible addition to the skyline around the harbor, the wheel "gives Staten Island an identity beyond its role as a suburban community," while letting it tap into the stream of tourist money in a city that drew 50.9 million visitors last year, said Mitchell Moss, a New York University urban policy professor.
The project is expected to bring $500 million in private investment and 1,100 permanent jobs to the borough's St. George waterfront, and the developers will pay the city $2.5 million a year in rent for the land.
Staten Island isn't entirely off the tourist map. Its free ferry is the city's third-largest tourist attraction, carrying an estimated 2 million visitors a year alongside millions of residents, officials say.
But the city has long struggled to entice tourists off the boat and into Staten Island. Much-touted Staten Island sightseeing bus tours fizzled within a year in 2009 for lack of ridership.
Australian tourists Leah Field and Adam Lica, for example, were riding the ferry Thursday for its views of the Statue of Liberty. They thought they might have lunch on the Staten Island side but weren't planning to explore further.
"We weren't sure what there is to do there," explained Lica, 32, of Melbourne. But were there a giant Ferris wheel, the couple likely would go ride it, he said.
But Henriette Repmann, a German university student, said she wouldn't bother.
"You don't have to have the biggest Ferris wheel in the world to get a good view of New York," Repmann, 20, of Leipzig, said Thursday as she visited the Empire State Building.
Largely a bedroom community for other parts of the city, Staten Island boasts about 470,000 residents and a minor league ballpark, cultural sites and quirky attractions, from locations in the video for Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" to the Staten Island Zoo, home to New York's answer to Pennsylvania's prognosticating groundhog. The Staten Island rodent bears the dubious distinction of having once bitten Bloomberg.
But Staten Island, the only one of the city's five boroughs not accessible by subway, tends to get overshadowed by its bigger neighbors, so much so that some have at times suggested it secede from the city.
And residents often bristle at an image shaped by such television shows as "Mob Wives" and "Big Ang" — and by a former New Jersey beach town mayor who portrayed Staten Islanders in a blog post as heavy on hairspray and light on class. (The ex-mayor, Ken Pringle of Belmar, visited Staten Island in 2008 to make amends.)
Resident Miatta Bryant thinks the wheel might bring the borough more respect.
"People always say Staten Island is so boring," the 26-year-old certified nursing assistant said.
The Ferris wheel, state Assemblyman Matthew Titone hopes, will show the world a different Staten Island than the one they see on TV.
"They will see our cultural institutions and will see that we are not idiots," he said. "Shirtless, musclebound idiots."
— The first Ferris wheel, 264 feet high (80.4 meters), was invented in the U.S. by Pittsburgh engineer George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. Powered by steam engines, it was introduced at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 in Chicago.
— The proposed New York Wheel on Staten Island is planned to be 625 feet and expected to open by the end of 2015.
— Caesars Entertainment Corp. plans to build a Ferris-style wheel on the Las Vegas Strip. It is planned to stand 550 feet tall and open in late 2013.
— China began construction in 2007 on what was planned to be the world's tallest Ferris wheel, at 680 feet. Officially called the Observation Wheel, it's also referred to as the Beijing Great Wheel or the Great Beijing Wheel. Meant to be open for the 2008 Olympic games, it's still not completed because of design and financing problems.
— Singapore Flyer, 541 feet (165 meters) completed in 2008, in downtown Singapore, was said to cost $240 million. The original spinning direction was reversed on the advice of a group of feng shui masters, ostensibly to revolve wealth back into the financial district.
— Star of Nanchang, 525 feet (160 meters), completed in 2006, in Nanchang, China. Said to cost $7.1 million, it's decorated with 21,300 feet (6,500 meters) of fluorescent lights.
— London Eye, 443 feet (135 meters), inaugurated on Millennium Eve — Dec. 31, 1999 — in London. Because of a safety glitch, the first public ride took place a month later, on Feb. 1, 2000.
— Suzhou Ferris Wheel, 394 feet (120 meters), completed in 2009 in Suzhou, China, was the fourth 120-meter-tall Ferris wheel built in the country.
— Southern Star, 394 feet (120 meters), completed in 2008 in Melbourne, Australia, at a cost of $100 million, was closed after 40 days when cracks appeared, but it remains standing.
— Tianjin Eye, 394 feet (120 meters), completed in 2008. It was built over Yongle Bridge, with cars passing on either side, in Tianjin, China's fifth-largest city.
— Changsha Ferris Wheel, 394 feet (120 meters), completed in 2004 in Changsha, China.
— Zhengzhou Ferris Wheel, 394 feet (120 meters), was the tallest in China when completed in 2003 in Century Amusement Park, in Zhengzhou.
— Sky Dream Fukuoka, 394 feet (120 meters), completed in 2002 in Fukuoka, Japan. The slow pace of 20 minutes per revolution was used as a selling point, providing "maximum kissing time." It closed because of high maintenance costs in September 2009.
— Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel, 369 feet (117 meters), completed in 2001 in Tokyo, named for the patterns in its nighttime lighting.

Embroidered mirrored velvet jacket: Vintage via eBay || Nirvana tee: Urban Outfitters || Necklaces: Vintage & Vanessa Mooney || Ripped knee jeans: Zara || Platform Boots: Vagabond
My last outfit post for this year is a casual boho grunge combo I loved to wear two weeks ago when the weather was very warm for the winter months. I'm wearing a vintage tie dye velvet jacket with embroidered and mirrored details, isn't it cool? I bought it secondhand from eBay, sometimes you can find some real bargains and edgy pieces there! I combined it with one of my favorite band tees (I love the snake print!), some ripped denim jeans in a blue vintage wash and the most comfortable platform boots ever. I really dig this outfit, it's so comfortable!
For the title I chose lyrics from a song from one of my favorite Bands The Stone Temple pilots - it's called Dead and Bloated and it's one of those songs I could listen over and over again. (here )
Sooo tomorrow is the last day of 2015, are you excited for 2016? I am and I am also glad that 2015 is finally over. It wasn't my year to be honest and I'm looking forward to all the beautiful moments which will hopefully occur in 2016.
I wish you all a happy new year!!!

Who Won the Cold War?
From the Shadows: The Ultimate Insider's Story of Five Presidents and How They Won the Cold War
The great still unanswered question left by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war is what military power had to do with it. When Mikhail Gorbachev took office in 1985 the Soviet Union possessed the world's largest military establishment, including thousands of nuclear-armed missiles acquired at great expense in the twenty-some years since Nikita Khrushchev's humiliating backdown in a confrontation with the United States over Soviet nuclear forces in Cuba. The details of the surrender had been negotiated by Vasily Kuznetsov with the American official John McCloy, at the latter's home in Connecticut. "Well, Mr. McCloy," Kuznetsov said, "we will honor this agreement. But I want to tell you something. You'll never do this to us again."
Despite this plain warning, according to Robert M. Gates in his memoir of a life spent watching the Soviet Union for the CIA, "the Agency did not foresee this massive Soviet effort [beginning in the mid-1960s] to match and then surpass the United States in strategic missile numbers and capabilities." One hesitates even to sketch in the background of this seemingly simple statement. Any attempt to explain Soviet and American nuclear policy during the cold war threatens to become overwhelmed with detail. But it is impossible for anyone to understand why so much money was spent on the arms race for so many years without making it clear why the strategists on both sides never believed for long that ten bombs, or a hundred bombs, or a thousand bombs, were "enough."
By the mid-1960s each side had nuclear forces in plenty to prevent an unprovoked attack on its cities by the other. Any such attack would have brought a devastating response. What the Soviets hoped to achieve was a level of strategic forces great enough to inhibit the United States from ever using, or threatening to use, its own nuclear weapons for any purpose except retaliation against all-out attack. As a practical matter, that would have meant no first use, which meant no threat by the US to use nuclear weapons to defend American forces in Europe in the event of a conventional military attack. This meant, in turn, that we would extend only a feeble military guarantee to our NATO allies, since our combined ground forces never equaled, or came close to equaling, those of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact nations. The result of any change in US willingness to defend NATO with nuclear weapons, if necessary, would be, in Washington's phrase, "de-coupling" the defense of the United States from that of Europe.
US leaders were intensely concerned to prevent de-coupling, and they steadily assured their European allies that they would respond with nuclear weapons to an attack on Brussels just as they would to an attack on Kansas. Nuclear policy throughout the cold war always involved terrifying numbers of weapons and strategies for their use which seemed to get crazier by the decade. But readers will be able to understand why things…

Americans pride in their country's status as the land of opportunity is under threat
The United States has long been viewed as the "land of opportunity," where those who work hard get ahead. Belief in this fundamental feature of America's national identity has persisted, even though inequality has been gradually rising for decades.
But, in recent years, the trend toward extremes of income and wealth has accelerated significantly, owing to demographic shifts, the economy's skills bias, and fiscal policy. Is the collapse of the American dream at hand? From 1997 to 2007, the share of income accruing to the top 1% of US households increased by 13.5%.
This is equivalent to shifting $1.1 trillion of Americans' total annual income to these families – more than the total income of the bottom 40% of US households. Inequality's precise impact on individual well-being remains controversial, partly because of the complex nature of the metrics needed to gauge it accurately.
But, while objective indicators do not provide a complete picture of the relationship between income inequality and human well-being, how they are interpreted sends important signals to people within and across societies.
If inequality is perceived to be the result of just reward for individual effort, it can be a constructive signal of future opportunities. But if it is perceived to be the result of an unfair system that rewards a privileged few, inequality can undermine individuals' motivation to work hard and invest in the future.
In this sense, current US trends have been largely destructive. Economic mobility, for example, has declined in recent decades, and is now lower in many other industrialised countries as well, including Canada, Finland, Germany, Japan, and New Zealand. An American worker's initial position in the income distribution is highly predictive of his or her future earnings.
Moreover, there is a strong intergenerational income correlation (about 0.5) in the US, with the children of parents who earn, say, 50% more than the average likely to earn 25% above their generation's average. Indeed, the US now lies near the middle of the World Bank's ranking of economic opportunity, well below countries like Norway, Italy, Poland, and Hungary.
Some argue that, as long as the US maintains its economic dynamism, leadership in technological innovation, and attractiveness to immigrants, income inequality is irrelevant. But other pertinent trends – such as failing public schools, crumbling infrastructure, rising crime rates, and ongoing racial disparities in access to opportunities – seem to refute such claims.
After all, having some of the world's top universities means little if access to them is largely a function of family income. This does not matter only to Americans. In a world in which individuals' fates are increasingly linked, and effective governance depends on some consensus on norms of social and distributive justice, growing income differentials in one country – especially one that has long served as a beacon of economic opportunity – can shape behavior elsewhere. Without the belief that hard work begets opportunity, people are less likely to invest in education, undermining labor-market development; they may even be driven to protest.
More generally, declining economic mobility in the US could undermine confidence in the principles of a market economy and democratic governance that America has espoused for decades – principles that are fundamental to many countries' development strategies.
As Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz has pointed out: "[T]he extent to which the global economy and polity can be shaped in accord with our values and interests will depend, to a large extent, on how well our economic and political system is performing for most citizens."
Given increasing evidence that the system is performing much better for wealthier citizens than for poorer ones, America's soft power seems bound to erode substantially. Reducing inequality will require long-term, comprehensive solutions, such as fiscal-policy reforms that reward public investment in health and education without adding disincentives to an already cumbersome tax code.
But pursuing such measures requires significant political will, which the US seems to be lacking. Indeed, given political paralysis at the national level, initiating a constructive debate about an issue as divisive and consequential as inequality will depend largely on the American public.
If more people recognised the constraints that inequality places on their future prospects, they would be likely to press policymakers to confront it. This would not only benefit the US; it would have a positive impact on global governance.
Americans have long prided themselves on their country's status as the land of opportunity, a destination that people have endured immeasurable adversity to reach. A public-education campaign aimed at highlighting the challenges that inequality poses to the very foundation of this reputation is a low-risk first step toward reviving America's promise.

MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch lists Marc Rzepczynski as a non-tender candidate. Rzepczynski made $504,000 in 2012 and is arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. Langosch believes that right-hander Kyle McClellan is also a non-tender possibility.
Personally, I just can't see the Cardinals cutting Rzepczynski loose, as I suspect the Cardinals recognize that his value will likely outpace even his arbitration award. Even if they didn't feel he was worth, it seems likely that they would trade him rather than non-tender him, but crazier things have happened so we'll consider it for a moment.
I was intrigued by Rzepczynski the first time I saw him work in Toronto. He combined good stuff with a lot of polish, but we'll get back to that after a quick detour through his pitching mechanics. Rzepczynski has solid mechanics, which are largely defined by an unusual arm swing that I can't recall having seen seen in any other pitcher...except one. Curiously, that other pitcher also made his MLB debut in 2009. If you compare Rzepczynski with Madison Bumgarner, the mechanics are pretty close.
Both pitchers utilize high leg kicks with coil at the apex to build up momentum to impart on the baseball. Each also maintains good balance at the apex of the delivery, while being fairly deceptive with the ball.
As both unpack the leg kick and start to drive towards the plate, they incorporate an unusual arm-swing to bring the ball up into the pitching position. Most pitchers use a far less severe arm-swing, but Bumgarner and Rzepczynski both swing their pitching arm directly out towards third base.
I can't imagine anyone teaching such an arm-swing, as not only does it seems like an unnatural motion, but it also eliminates any deception in the delivery. The ball is right there for the hitter to pick up. Even so, it's likely the way both pitchers naturally threw the ball when they first climbed up a pitching mound. It certainly works for them.
After they use the arm-swing to bring the ball up into position, they use similar stride lengths and throw with similar high-three quarter arm slots.
While the mechanics are the same, I'm not suggesting that Rzepczynski is in Bumgarner's class as a pitcher. Bumgarner has an advantage in physical stature, which gives him a tick better stuff. And, for whatever reason, Bumgarner has an uncanny feel/command for pitching, which gives him another edge over Rzepczynski. Even so, Rzepczynski has value in his own right.
Personally, I think Rzepczynski is being wasted in relief, though his stuff undoubtedly plays up out of the bullpen. Still, I could see him as a solid mid- to back-of the rotation starting pitcher. Given that the Reds are short in the southpaw department, both in the rotation and in the bullpen, adding another lefty would have value.
For his career, Rzepczynski has ratios of 3.97 BB/9 and a 8.13 K/9 to go along with a 4.04 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. One other factor would make him a good fit for the Reds, as he has heavy ground ball tendencies. On his career, he has a 56.1% ground ball rate, which was even better over his last two seasons (64.8% and 58.9%, respectively). To put it in perspective, his career rate is better than that of the Reds two biggest ground ball starters, Johnny Cueto and Mike Leake, who each chimed in with a rate of 48.9%.
The acquisition of Rzepczynski wouldn't address an area of immediate need, but adding value is always a good idea. The Reds lacked a southpaw starter in 2012 and, unless they move Aroldis Chapman into the rotation, that will likely be the case in 2013 as well. Further, given the impossibility of relying on the man of glass, Bill Bray, the Reds could use Rzepczynski as a second or third lefty out of the bullpen.
If the Reds learned nothing else from the loss to the Giants in the NLDS, they should at least recognize the advantage that having three lefties in the bullpen afforded Bruce Bochy. By having Javier Lopez, Jeremy Affeldt, and late season acquisition Jose Mijares, Bruce Bochy could use a very aggressive approach to running his bullpen. Frankly, that, and his willingness to actually manage aggressively, gave him an advantage over Dusty Baker.
Adding an lefty arm like Marc Rzepczynski is a good value play, regardless of whether they would utilize him in the rotation or out of the bullpen. Now, all they need is for the Cardinals to do something foolish to make him available. I probably won't hold my breath.

I immediately thought of my Foley ancestors and the puzzlement about verifying John's birth. Census records have provided conflicting information ranging from locations in the United States to Barrie, Simcoe County, Canada West (now Ontario) and birth years ranging from 1860 to 1865.
Fortunately, the Ontario civil registration for John Foley's marriage to Mary Jane Fitzgerald on April 25, 1894 provides the name of the church in Toronto in which they married. My first stop then was the church records for marriages at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in 1894. Unfortunately, the images added by Family Search are not yet indexed so finding the church marriage registration meant 'surfing' through numerous images. The church registrations are in chronological order so using the marriage date, I was able to find the marriage registration information fairly quickly. All of the information contained in the church record was identical to the civil registration record.
When he married in April 1894, John gave his age as 29 years, meaning he was likely born around 1865. John's gravestone in Toronto's Mount Hope Cemetery lists his date of birth as February 16, 1864 but due to the various pieces of conflicting information, I have always been suspicious of the date.
I then proceeded to viewing the church baptismal records for Barrie, Ontario, the location John had maintained was his place of birth. The church record images available through Family Search for Barrie consist of one Roman Catholic church - Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary including two mission, or satellite, locations. The baptismal records cover the period 1858 - 1875 and consist of 218 images in the main church register.
Like scrolling through microfilm images, I went through the baptismal records one image at a time, hunting for the Foley name. Fortunately, this was made easier as the family surnames were printed, not written, in the left hand column of the register book. On image #86, line #706, I found it! The baptismal record for John Foley, although the surname was misspelled as 'Froley.'
The parish priest, Father P. Rey, listed: Froley, John; Date of Birth - 16 Feb. 1863 in Essa (a small town near Barrie); Date of baptism - 21 March 1863; Parents - William Foley, Ireland and Bridget McTigue (misspelling of McTague); Sponsors - Joseph Cain and Elizabeth Hussey.
So, at long last, I know that my great grandfather was born in Essa, part of the Barrie, Ontario area, on February 16, 1863, exactly 125 years before his great great granddaughter, my daughter, Jenna was born! Finally, a puzzle solved.

New data this weekend will show whether Donald Trump's low-spending campaign has started to burn the cash it says it raised, according to CNBC, NBC News reports.
The campaigns are expected to report their finance activity to the Federal Election Commission for July on Saturday.
Both campaigns announced initial fundraising numbers earlier this month. Clinton's said it raised nearly $90 million — with about $63 million going to the campaign. Trump's campaign reported raising in about $80 million, but it was unclear how much went to the campaign itself.
U.S. & World
Trump has relied on news coverage and social media to push his message, pushing back against traditional advertising — and he has only started to buy ad space in battlegrounds.
In June, Trump reported just over $1.6 million in expenses for "digital consulting/online advertising."

Tips for Dealing With Student Loan Debt in California
Welcome to the fastest way to find out about managing student loan debt in California.
Here, you'll find clear and accurate information about paying off your student loans, including how to:
- find basic information about your loans
- choose the best repayment plan
- reduce or postpone your student loan payments
- cancel your loans, if you qualify
- get out of default
- get help with student loan problems, including filing a student loan complaint
- and more
To begin, keep in mind these basic tips for dealing with your debt:
Know Your Loans
You can't manage your student loan debt unless you understand what you owe and how to pay. Make sure you know the balance on each of your loans, when payments are due, and where to send them. (If your lender offers an electronic payment option, sign up for it if you can. Your payments will never be late, and you may also qualify for a reduced interest rate.)
If you don't know the basic terms of your student loans, contact your loan servicer. And if you're not sure who that is -- some borrowers have multiple loan servicers -- see Tips for Finding and Working With Your Loan Servicer.

Bill Conner, Entrust CEO, Addresses United Nations, INTERPOL
During a gathering of media, foreign press and United Nations member countries June 15 in New York City, Entrust CEO and President Bill Conner— a special guest of INTERPOL Secretary General Ron K. Noble — explored the global challenges in cybercrime.
Following is a transcript of that speech, which includes the vision, innovation and strategic position of both Entrust and Conner. It outlines today's current threats that target organizations of all sizes, in all parts of the world, as they continue to fight online crime, international fraud and identity theft.
"Mr. Secretary General, Mr. Under-Secretary-General, guests from the United Nations and the business community … On behalf of all at Entrust, thank you for the opportunity of hosting this unique and important luncheon briefing.
I'm from Texas, and I believe that everyone from Dallas to Delhi, or from Houston to Hong Kong, or from Austin to Austria, is well aware that crime today poses a greater threat to the security of nations, of corporations and of individuals than ever before.
I believe that today we must take a more global view and take advantage of technology in our efforts to make the world a better place.
Since I am a technologist by heart, training, and soul — not a diplomat or law enforcement officer — my role is to bring technology to the good guys and put it to good use.
Today, we must develop and deploy the best technology to enable a greater good for governments, enterprises and citizens around the world. Today, that balance in the cyberworld between the good and those who want to harm us is not even close.
What Entrust is doing with INTERPOL — and what we have done with government and law enforcement agencies around the world — is about how to use technology, policy and approaches to enable the good guys, while demystifying the complex world of Internet security and software.
The total cost that we all suffer far exceeds the cost of security beforehand. This is not a year 2000 event, where you spend once to solve an issue and see if you pass. It is akin to a quality process that must be disciplined, measured and continually improved on — day in and day out.
Metamorphosis of Global Cybercrime
I believe, that in my lifetime, the most compelling development in science or technology has been the birth and growth of the Internet. This paradigm shift has delivered unprecedented opportunities for information, education, recreation, communication and commerce, thereby improving the quality of all our lives.
At the same time, we know that abuses of the Internet contribute to an unfortunately large and dangerous inventory of crimes from identity theft and financial fraud to cyber terrorism. I have had an opportunity to work with many of my colleagues and policy-makers in coordinating strategies to enhance the positive aspects of the internet's promise and to combat those who abuse it.
In the cyberworld there are differing levels of complexity and challenges. Law enforcement must keep up the idiosyncrasies of both hardware and software platforms.
Hardware platforms are the physical tools cybercriminals use. Their metamorphosis follows Moors law — that capacity doubles and cost halves every 18 months. In the cyberworld the metamorphosis is even greater, where the software tools being used are changing in days, not years, and in many cases hours and even minutes. This makes it a constant real-time battle for all of us around the world.
Innovation for Interpol
Ron has given you his perspective and challenges as the CEO of INTERPOL. Let me give you the perspective and challenges as a corporate CEO. We have financial responsibility to stakeholders, customers, employees, partners and the public at large. But, we are equally devoted to wearing our hat as citizens, neighbors and consumers.
In identity-based security, we all rely on government entities to provide the most trusted credentials. What Entrust has done is build a bridge between these national credentials, global credentials and enterprise-wide credentials by delivering a single counterfeit-proof identity document.
Entrust is particularly proud to have partnered with INTERPOL in the development of this new level of identity-based security that will assist INTERPOL officers and law enforcement around the world in their travel and in their pursuit of transnational criminals.
The INTERPOL Global Smart eID & eVisa provides an integrated smartcard service that enables secure officer credentials at an employee and government level worldwide.
This unprecedented credential and service provides secure access to INTERPOL facilities and networks. Officers only need the one single credential for secure, enterprise-wide access and crossing borders. It allows for virtual borders at event venues like those happening right now in South Africa with the FIFA World Cup where our cards are being used by INTERPOL officers as we speak.
Identity-Based Security
At the core of INTERPOL's multipurpose smartcard is Entrust's technology and services, which allows organizations to establish and maintain a trustworthy environment. Our credentialing service provides secure access to buildings and facilities, INTERPOL networks and data. This enables INTERPOL to control access to resources, prevent theft of information and comply with privacy and digital signature regulations and laws on a global basis.
INTERPOL's use of strong multipurpose eIDs helps ensure that the identities of INTERPOL officers aren't misused to perpetrate fraud or crimes against the agency or individual countries.
These specialized cards and service are versatile, scalable and adhere to high security standards — including the anytime, anywhere access requirements of INTERPOL. This next-generation solution gives the user strong identity, access and communication capabilities far beyond what was previously possible. We have been very pleased to work with INTERPOL on innovative, identity-based security that will help them fulfill their mission.
Needless to say, Entrust and INTERPOL have a shared mission: make the world a safer place. I've talked about what we are currently doing with INTERPOL, but in my world you must be continuously looking ahead.
Protecting Borders, Stopping Cybercrime
In the world of cybercrime, we are facing extremely dangerous enemies armed with the most expensive and sophisticated hardware, software and boldness. They function in an environment where their white-collar crime, even if apprehended, brings only minimal punishment. If allowed to go unchecked, they will continue to grow, find new ways of proliferating cybercrime or fraud, and thus finding new targets — both big and small, public and private.
Most often these attacks are across sovereign borders. Dare I say that sovereign borders don't exist to bad guys in the cyberworld? In fact, today these borders are the very shield of protection against the organization and the capture of cybercriminals.
When some of these ill-gotten proceeds from cybercrimes are routed to terrorists, the entire world's security is threatened. We cannot allow cybercriminals to succeed. The cost in money, property and trust is too great. I believe that greater international cooperation is necessary to apprehend and prosecute these cybercriminals that threaten our way of life.
The good news is that technology and solutions exist today to thwart these cybercriminals. It just needs to be applied consistently and universally to deny the cybercriminals the easy access they have today.
Online Fraud Attacks on Financial Institutions
One area that should concern all of us is the amount of cybercrime targeting financial institutions and their corporate and individual customers. Just last night a major television broadcast reported financial losses this year alone at more than $100 million in the United States for banking fraud. This is a big problem. And it's escalating at unprecedented rates.
Driving the issue is the fact that banking fraud can be perpetrated from a kilometer away or across the world. As I have said, the Internet has no set boundary on a criminal's ability to defraud unsuspecting citizens around the world. We have developed solutions for the banking fraud epidemic that work today.
Our solutions are providing the necessary options for the bank and its customers to be protected. Stopping the bad guys means you must: first identify the good guys; second, the banks must use real-time monitoring with fraud detection; third, all financial transaction must be verified or digitally signed. These solutions and capabilities are available today to help banks and governments stem the rising tide of the cybercrime.
Entrust's Commitment, Appreciation
Entrust is committed to developing the highest standard for identity-based security. We are using it with INTERPOL officers, as well as for other police forces, enterprises and citizens around the world. Our goal is to move from a defensive, reactive posture to one where we are anticipating and shutting down attacks before they occur.
Let me close by expressing, on behalf of Entrust and our employees around the world, our deep appreciation for the work of the United Nations and those who report on its important mission. The private sector is ready, able and determined to support your efforts.
Once again, I thank you, Secretary General Ron Noble, for your leadership and your commitment to making the world a safer place. Thank you all for joining us today.
