Part Two
What we are faced with is how to throw off the yoke that has not-so-quietly enslaved the population of the world at large.
Thanks to technology the planet is now in very real danger of losing everything that the entire world thought they actually had a chance to enjoy: Without starting WWIII.
In Part One the track record of America is briefly mentioned as a preamble to what has now become paramount because of what this government has decided to do. That would clearly mean the end of the Second Amendment which guarantees the right of the people of the United States to:
"A well regulated militia,
being necessary to the security of a free state,
the right of the people to keep and bear arms,
shall not be infringed."
Supposedly Joe Biden (US Vice-President) will tell us what the government will do tomorrow, to our rights: According to what this illegal government will now demand from the people whom it wishes to CONTROL (For their own good – of course). Many worry about what the government will do because this amounts to a massive change in how the government will treat the people of this land and their constitutional guarantees.
Before every war the public in any country always begins to talk about what might be coming next. In this case that has already happened. What it says this time about conditions between the government and the population is that "This will not happen".
In most wars many topics are usually discussed—in this case things are very, very simple. The public statement is overwhelmingly clear: combined with the words of the Second Amendment (above), the public's opinion is simply:
Apparently there is nothing else to add to this firmly spoken fact.
Throughout the long and bloody history of the planet many things have been used or abused as various nations went into war. One thing is different here; the entire world has already been DISARMED, except for the Swiss and the Americans. If this government goes ahead with what they are planning to do, based on a totally false-flag event in Sandy Hook, then 'ALL BETS ARE OFF.'
Throughout the long American March of MASSIVE Criminality and Global-War-Crimes a great many organizations and criminally-based corporations have been unearthed, thanks largely to the continued existence of the Internet.
Collectively the world has seen the rise of completely SECRET-Societies like Skull & Bones that have greatly advanced the power and influence of their members, in maintaining control over the whole planet. These creatures are nothing to the in-depth organizations that have controlled the whole world over thousands of years. Among these are the Illuminati, the private banking cabal of the Rothschilds, coupled with several other and very old societies: Such as the Jesuits, Masons and innumerable clumps of special operations and mafia connections the world over.

In thinking about these cabals and how we can begin to shut them down without creating WWIII, some thoughts come to mind.
Many of the world's most dangerous criminal-organizations do not have their own armies—in fact they have come to depend upon the established brutality of the United Nations, NATO and other less visible mercenary groups. But in this instance it seems that the most vulnerable criminal-cesspool is the Vatican. The current pope is a NAZI, a pedophile NAZI, who protects his pedophiles the world over and those who hide behind their offices as priests and above. Their physical-headquarters is in the Vatican.
The Vatican is entirely dependent upon the City of Rome for all their basic services. All that the world would have to do is to cut off electricity, water and all passage into and out-of the Vatican combined with a global-court order to surrender within 72 hours or face international-arrest for criminal-sex-crimes and financial-crimes that have been going on for hundreds of years. The Vatican and the Queen of England together are probably the largest land-owners on the planet. What would happen if those holdings were forcibly returned to the people they were stolen from?
The Vatican and the Church of Rome must be dissolved. All of its assets must be seized and paid out to the victims of their crimes the world over.
The second tier of these cross-connected criminal institutions is in London—the City of London, which houses the global-finances that are being directed by the Vatican. Assisted by the Jesuits and numerous others of the privately powerful church organs; such as Opus Dei, several of the various "Knights Templar", and other global criminal organizations—it is way past time to end the careers of these global monsters. This may sound heretical—but actually this action is long, long overdue!
On this scale the world could challenge this criminality and shut it down because they have no force of their own to protect themselves with. Currently the Vatican and the City of London are using the UN and NATO for their private mercenary armies. Neither of these institutions has yet reached the outside-strength they need to stop the world from doing what the world decides—as to what must now be done to free the planet from these globally-blatant-criminals.
Once an action against the Vatican is begun, the City of London will have to fold as well, because Britain is as corrupt and crumbling as it is possible to be and still be part of the European Union. If the world were to attack the City of London, inside London proper, there would not be anyone that would come to their defense. Because like the Vatican they've been screwing the entire planet for hundreds of years and their enemies too—are now LEGION.
In this country the Federal Reserve would also suddenly begin to have their own problems as they too are cross-connected to both the Vatican and the City of London.
Think! These are supposedly the most powerful institutions in the world that are SUPPOSEDLY protected mostly by tradition alone. Ergo, there is no physical force needed by them for protection from the world. They assume they are invincible and they treat all outsiders as their wholly owned slave-states. Billions of people have been screwed by these life-long criminals, and yet we have still done nothing? That's how perfectly they set up this sting against the entire planet. Now they want everything on this planet and they're willing to do anything to get it all. Are you going to cooperate with this vehement bunch of obscene people—yet again? Will you fight this time?
Last chance people, to do this without having WWIII—it's our call…

Vats of dye were dotting the lawn this weekend as I embarked upon a long-time goal to dye this fantastic Seed Catalogue print from Holly Holderman's Annie's Farm Stand line of fabric from Lakehouse. It's a white on white print which works perfectly for this dye approach.
I have been wanting to do this ever since I saw Jeni's post here. Unfortunately, I needed to do it outside since my laundry room sink is teeny (aka non-existant) and there was no way I was tracking dye around my house. So outside on a sunny day we go.
I used these dyes from Dharma:
Robin's egg blue
Charcoal Gray
Orange Marmalade
Procion MX dyes - in Midnight Blue and Raspberry
Mixed up according to the directions on the Dharma Trading site - great instructions guys!
The whole process worked perfectly.
This picture shows the unaltered colors. From the Top down are:
Orange Marmalade
Robin's Egg Blue
Midnight Blue
Charcoal Gray
I love the results.
Some of the colors turned out better than others. For example the darker colors really show the white printing much better. The raspberry and midnight blue bled a lot until they finally rinsed clean - way more than the other colors.
My favorite color is Robin's egg (such a clear pretty blue). The Parakeet makes a lovely shade of aqua. The Goldfinch turned out way more mustardy than anticipated. I just used the standard amounts recommended for each of the dyes. Changing the quantities and the amount of time in the bath would also change the colors. So there is lots of room to play with the colors.
It took about 4 hours to get these fabrics dyed in 2 batches but that was partially because I was still figuring everything out. The 2nd batch actually went much quicker. Totally worth the effort. The amount of dye I made was the smallest that directions called for and I could've easily dyed more fabric if I had had it.
Fun stuff. Now to sew with these beauties!
Happy Sewing!

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 80 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Hudson Self Storage
We are a family real estate company who recently purchased a self storage facility. We're excited about giving the property a makeover and re-creating a buzz in the community. Our property improvement plan includes creating a new brand for the current name and replacing the 4 ft x 6 ft property signage at the front gate. Additionally, a second floor facade with signage on the storefront exterior will add to visibility and presence. We like to project a professional, sophisticated, but comfortable, not overdone image.
Hudson Self Storage is located in Stockbridge, GA . Many of our customers come from "drive-by" inquiries or online, both customers have a first impression of our logo. We are in the process of updating the Hudson Self Storage "image," including a face-lift to the property as well as its marketing campaign. We are looking for a nice clean logo that will stand out and give the feeling of stability, security, professionalism, and while communicating what the product is. The customers are both individuals and businesses.
Our aim is to have a logo created that is simple, yet eyecatching. The color attached to this brief is the shade of green that we would like to use. Some things to consider when designing the logo:
- Logo needs to be versatile. It is going to be used on a 4 ft. x 6 ft. sign on a 20 ft. tall pole on a busy road, advertising and promotional items such as print brochures, magnets, mailers, shirts, etc.
- Once a logo hast been chosen from the contest, we would like to have up to three rounds of revisions.
- When the logo is complete, we would expect to have all of the source (Illustrator, etc.) files that have been created pertaining to the logo.

Lifeprint.com: "ASL University"
ABOVE: Dr. Bill Vicars in his day job at CSU Sacramento.
ASLU is a curriculum resource center. We do not offer a degree. We do not claim to prepare individuals for employment. Nor are not seeking accreditation. Mostly we just offer an excellent (and continually evolving) free self-study ASL curriculum that teachers throughout the world can use to teach their ASL classes. Many people like to dive in and start learning with "Lesson 1," or check out the "First 100 Signs" mini-tour or the Lifeprint Library. American Sign Language is a complete, natural language. In addition to learning vocabulary, becoming truly fluent at ASL involves learning grammar, culture, and history.
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS with Dr. Bill Vicars:Question:
"For registered (tuition paying) students, do you send the local school district a letter or certificate that states the number of hours completed so that the district can convert those hours into credits?"
Yes, we are happy to send documentation to the school in addition to the student. Just let us know the email or mailing address of the local school. Level 1 ("ASL 1") is equivalent to
Do you have a way to account for [the student's] time or do you just estimate that they have done a certain number of hours?
We require the student to complete a quiz at the end of each of the 15 lessons. This is the same course curriculum I use for my ASL courses at California State University that carry 3 units. The course easily qualifies for 4 units--for example Belinda Vicars has taught this curriculum at Sierra College (Rocklin, California, 2008 - 2010) for 4 units. A 4-semester unit college course typically involves 4 hours per week of contact seat-time for 15 weeks and is understood to involve approximately 1 to 2 hours of homework/practice time for each hour of class. Thus a student who successfully completes the quizzes and final exam has demonstrated a level of proficiency that would have taken 60 classroom contact hours. It is common for school district administrators to accept a 1-semester college course as the equivalent of a 1-year ASL course. In terms of actual contact hours the high school course would typically consist of 90 sessions of 50 minutes vs a college semester consisting of 60 sessions of 50 minutes (or more likely 30 sessions of 100 minutes). The difference in seat time (90 seat-time hours for a high school course vs 60 seat-time hours for a college course) is also typical because college students are expected to invest more time doing homework outside of class. What is important though is what your local school district or program believes about credits. My job is to present the student with an opportunity to participate an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. Upon successful completion of the course, I or one of my faculty provide documentation indicating that the student has completed a course equivalent to that of a typical college ASL course of the specified level.
What do we get for documentation?
You get a "Continuing Education Units" form. See: "transcript"
Could you tell me how you think a 10 or 11th grader would do taking this class online?
Most 10th or 11th graders do very well taking ASL online. Like a duck to water sort of thing.
Based on those who have enrolled how many have completed the program and earned credit?
Answer: Remember, we don't provide credit. We provide Continuing Education Units only. But we've had over a hundred students receive credit from their local schools. The vast majority who have enrolled have completed the program and received continuing education units. When used in college settings, of a class of 15 typically 14 will pass. Note: One or two out of the 30 tend to fail either the receptive final or the expressive final and need to retake the exam. We have set up the course so that the student can re-take the final exam as many times as needed until they pass the course. This works out well since it allows us to "fail" a student when their performance is not up to standards, and yet they are able to redouble their efforts and upon raising their skills they are able to pass the course. Note: Retakes cost $20. We charge the fee to cover the extra time required to grade the retake, but more importantly we do it to encourage serious efforts at passing on exam.
Who do you consider to be a good candidate to be an online learner of sign language?
Someone who likes spending time in front of a computer. Someone who is able to set up and manage their own "Myspace" or "Facebook" (or similar) account. Someone who feels comfortable reading and following information from a computer screen. Additionally I think that "online learning" is particularly helpful for those students who might prefer to work at either a slower or faster pace than their peers. A computer doesn't get tired of repeating itself. A computer doesn't judge you. You click a button and it shows you again without rolling its eyes or taking a deep breath. This kind of patience (the patience of a machine) can give certain students the confidence to keep trying until they "get it."
Question [observation]:
Some people feel that sign language is more 3 dimensional and the internet would be too two dimensional.
Reply: Indeed, ASL is 3-dimensional. An in-person ASL course is potentially much more effective at teaching ASL than an online course. That being said, it is important to realize that a lot depends on the circumstances of the course: The qualifications of the instructor, the number of students competing for the instructor's attention, the patience of the instructor, the quality of the lessons, the user friendliness of the curriculum, etc. It is quite possible that some students will actually do much better studying online than they would in an in-person course. Online courses allow for asynchronous learning and progress. Students can study nearly any time and nearly anyplace. They can study from the screen of their phone (320 x 240 resolution or higher flash video capable).
Why does Lifeprint have a such a strict 3-day 100% refund policy after which there is no refund?
Dr. Bill Answers:
Sometimes people need insurance that they will be able to fill a language requirement for graduation. So they sign up for this program and breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they are covered and have access to a flexible, online course that is able to fill their language requirement.
Lifeprint then maintains its curriculum, pays the utilities, pays for web hosting, and renews its domain registration service, etc. -- all in order to stay in business. Then later the distance education student decides he or she doesn't need the class, doesn't want to put forth the effort, or can't find the time to do it. But Lifeprint still had to "stay in business" during that time in order to "be around" and provide that "insurance" to the distance education student.
The student's registration fees pay for the following services:
1. We stay available to receive assignments.
2. We keep the website active so the student can study.
3. We make payments to the web host for server storage space.
4. We pay monthly for my DSL connection so we can maintain the site.
5. We keep my email account active and maintained (which takes hours!) so we can receive student emails.
6. We make payments on ASLU's physical office location.
7. We pay money to upgrade and keep the office computers working.
8. We pay money to the domain name registration service to keep the website name registered.
9. We pay the electric bill each month so we can operate the equipment.
These and the many other costs all add up.
Since we are stuck with these expenses whether or not the student decides to study and complete the class--we have to handle the finances very similar to the way "health clubs" and "gyms" handle their membership fees. They charge their fees up front and provide a brief reconsideration period after which there is no refund. That way people don't come back later and say, "I never exercised and I want my money back." Otherwise the health club would go out of business.
On the bright side, please know that your registration fees do indeed go toward keeping Lifeprint up and running and many tens of thousands of people all over the world use the ASL dictionary and lessons to learn how to communicate with their Deaf friends, coworkers, and children.
Dr. Bill
Question: How long does it take to complete the course?
Answer: About 60 hours plus review and practice time. The length of time it takes to complete the course depends on several factors.
Main influences are:
* How much available time does the student have to work on the course?
* How much of a self-starter is the student?
* How long is the student able to focus for?
* How good at "language acquisition" is the student?
* How much review will the student need to recall previous lessons?
* Is the student kinesthetically talented?
* How much "prior exposure" to ASL does the student have?
If the student did "one lesson per day" and then took 3 days to do a research paper, 2 days to complete a video, and another day to do the final exam, then I reckon he/she could complete the course in about 3 weeks -- that's assuming around 3 hours per day of effort and working on it everyday. A more realistic schedule would be 15 weeks -- and that is if the student is focusing on vocabulary and grammar acquisition. If the student reads all of the various cultural information and links - that could take several extra months -- which is why a "college" semester class is considered equivalent to a "one year" high school class.
Question: How do I get started?
Answer: If you just want to self-study go to Lesson 1 and dive in. If you want to take the course, take the quizzes, do the final, and receive documentation then you can register and pay tuition here:
Link: REGISTRATION
Link: TUITIONIn a message dated 6/6/2006 12:13:22 PM Pacific Daylight Time, a person from Canada writes:Dear Dr. Bill,You mentioned there is no guarantee in passing the course and I am concerned about this. Is it that difficult to pass?-- Canadian (name changed)
Dear Canadian,
It takes work to pass, but it is not difficult -- if you set up an actual schedule, dig in, invest 45 to 60 hours online and another 20 or so doing the quizzes, research paper, expressive video, and receptive final.
The difficulty is not in the material, but in the self-discipline to schedule your time accordingly.
So far I've only failed a few students (out of well over 100) due to "lack of ability." Let me tell you about a typical case. It was a woman in her late 40's. Her mistake was in going through the quizzes as mere assignments to be completed instead of as tools to prepare for the final. She would visit the lesson pages long enough to identify the signs on the quiz, type them, submit them, and then move on. She did not practice the sentences enough. The signs were simply going into her short term memory and being forgotten the next day. At the end of the semester she had earned credit for the lesson quizzes but she did not know the signs and grammar she covered in the lessons well enough to recognize them on the comprehensive final (receptive) in sentence form, and thus could not pass the final exam with a C or better (which I require of my students to pass my class).
But if a person will set a goal to learn the material, including the facial expressions and grammar they will be able to complete the receptive final and expressive video and will pass the course.
Would you believe quite a few of my students (online) are Special Education (developmentally disabled) students?But they tend to complete the course with flying colors because their local aide sets up a schedule for them and schedules time for them sit down and get to it.
If they can do it--I'm sure you can do it.

Associated Press
Johnson, Melvin picked as managers of the year
NEW YORK — Davey Johnson of the Washington Nationals and Bob Melvin of the Oakland Athletics have been chosen as managers of the year.
Johnson easily won the NL honor on Tuesday after the Nationals bolted to the best record in baseball. Melvin was picked narrowly for the AL award over Baltimore's Buck Showalter in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Johnson, who turns 70 in January, was honored for the second time. He was tabbed as the AL's top manager in 1997, hours after he resigned from the Orioles in a feud with owner Peter Angelos.
Melvin also became a two-time winner, having been chosen in 2007 with Arizona.
AP source: Marlins trade three stars to Blue Jays
MIAMI — The Miami Marlins' spending spree a year ago didn't work, so now they're trying another payroll purge.
Rebranded in a new ballpark at the start of 2012, the Marlins were up to their old ways Tuesday, swapping stars for prospects. Miami traded shortstop Jose Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and right-hander Josh Johnson to the Toronto Blue Jays as part of a blockbuster deal, a person familiar with the agreement said.
The person confirmed the trade to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams weren't officially commenting. The person said the trade sent several of the Blue Jays' top prospects to Miami.
Affeldt, Giants close in on 3-year deal
SAN FRANCISCO — A person familiar with the negotiations says left-hander Jeremy Affeldt and the San Francsico Giants are closing in on a three-year contract.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because no deal had been announced.
The 33-year-old Affeldt went 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA in 67 appearances spanning 631/3 innings this season for the World Series champions.
When the season ended, Affeldt said he wanted to stay with San Francisco but needed a multiyear deal to give some security for his family — he has a wife and three young sons. Affeldt also was a key member of the bullpen during the club's 2010 run to the franchise's first championship since 1954.
General manager Brian Sabean called re-signing Affeldt one of his top offseason priorities.
Roethlisberger has sprained shoulder
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a sprained right shoulder and his status for Sunday's showdown with AFC North rival Baltimore is uncertain.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roethlisberger is "questionable" and is waiting for more details on the quarterback's condition. Roethlisberger left Monday night's 16-13 overtime win over Kansas City in the third quarter after getting slammed to the ground by Chiefs linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston.
Veteran backup Byron Leftwich filled in and completed 7-of-14 passes for 73 yards. Leftwich's last start came in 2009 while playing for the Atlanta Falcons.
Tomlin said safety Troy Polamalu remains doubtful with a right calf injury. Polamalu hasn't played since a win over Philadelphia on Oct. 7.
Dayton objects to Vikings stadium fee ideas
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says he will fight any effort by the Vikings to charge fans extra fees to buy season tickets in the new publicly subsidized football stadium.
In a sharply worded letter Tuesday, Dayton told team owner Zygi Wilf that he is distressed by reports the team may charge seat license fees to help generate money for the stadium. Dayton says he will urge a public authority to block any such move.
The team is due to pay slightly more than half of the $975 million price tag. Dayton told Wilf that the contribution is the responsibility of team owners, not fans.
Former Seahawks TE Jerramy Stevens arrested
KIRKLAND, Wash. — Police in Kirkland, Wash., say former Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens appeared in court Tuesday after being arrested hours earlier on suspicion of domestic violence assault.
Seattlepi.com says a Kirkland Municipal Court judge released Stevens saying there was no evidence connecting Stevens to any assault. The website reported that U.S. women's national soccer team goalkeeper Hope Solo was in court Tuesday.
Lt. Mike Murray says officers responded to a disturbance at a home in a Seattle suburb around 3:45 a.m. Monday. He says officers didn't get cooperation from the people at the home, but determined there was probable cause to arrest Stevens on fourth-degree assault.
Murray says Stevens and his victim were dating. He declined to release the victim's name but said she received a laceration to the elbow but the injury was minor. He says one other person had to be taken to the hospital for treatment of a hip injury.
Michigan DE Clark gets probation for laptop theft
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan defensive end Frank Clark has received probation for stealing a laptop computer from another student's dorm room.
The 19-year-old pleaded guilty to second-degree home invasion on Sept. 11.
Washtenaw County District Judge Donald Shelton issued the sentence Tuesday. Clark can erase the conviction by completing probation under a first-time offenders program.
Clark also most pay $1,741 in fines and court costs.
After the June theft, Michigan coach Brady Hoke suspended Clark for a week of preseason practice and the opener against Alabama. Since then, Clark has made 11 tackles, three of them for a loss. He's also broken up three passes.
Texas' Royal remembered as humble champion
AUSTIN, Texas — Former Texas coach Darrell Royal was remembered Tuesday as a humble champion who built a powerhouse football program and a Longhorn brand known around the world.
About 1,200 people attended a memorial service for the coach who led Texas to national championships in 1963 and 1969 and a share of a third in 1970. Royal also revolutionized college football when he introduced the wishbone offense in 1968.
Royal died in Austin on Nov. 7 at the age of 88. He was buried at the Texas State Cemetery in a private service on Monday.
NASCAR adds Mid-Ohio to Nationwide Series in 2013
NASCAR is adding Mid-Ohio to the Nationwide Series next season as the third road course on the 2013 schedule.
The Aug. 17 race will mark NASCAR's return to Ohio, home state of series sponsor Nationwide Insurance. NASCAR last raced in Ohio in 2008 with the Truck Series.
Mid-Ohio joins a June stop at Road America in Wisconsin and an August race at Watkins Glen, N.Y., as the road course events. It replaces Montreal on the 33-race schedule.
The season opens at Daytona on Feb. 23, closes at Homestead on Nov. 16 and returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July. There are six stand-alone races — two at Iowa, and one each at Chicagoland, Kentucky, Road America and Mid-Ohio.
Chevrolet will debut the Camaro in the series next season.

The first thing that you feel when you watch The Man from UNCLE is its rad score. So brilliant that you can't take your ears off it! It gives you a constant pleasure and reminds you of how a movie can be made into a complete package by doing every little part justice it deserves. Then comes the humour quotient of The Man from UNCLE which is strewn all across 2 hours of a badass plot. The rhythmic ups and downs of the spy storyline blended brilliantly by some top-notch Ritchie humour and some exceptional acting by the stellar cast are some of the things that make it thoroughly entertaining.
Henry Cavill nails this movie by donning an exceptionally cool demeanor and gives Solo a gorgeous primping, quite James Bond-ish and we are talking Pierce here. His style is swift. His moves are written in elegance and he doesn't, at any point, lose it. On the other hand, we have Armie Hammer, another protagonist who just can't control his temper. He does a great job as Illya, and wears the Russian accent quite nicely. Alicia Vikander slithers her way like a pro into her Gaby character. She is charming and adorable.
There is a constant cold war that reeks of dislike that goes on between the two spies that makes this movie constantly hilarious. It is great to see them pull each other's legs every now and then. There is a subtlety in the humour which makes it a complete laughter riot.
The technology, since it was a period movie, brings out the best the two big superpowers had back then. They exploit it well too, and make you wonder how oblivious we are to the little stepping stones that our past paved for us.
There are moments where Guy Ritchie loses his subtlety when he keeps showing flashbacks to prove his point. I think the public is smart enough to understand, and we could have lived without those evident explanations. Also, if we stand back and look at it from a distance, there is very limited action that mostly gets lost owing to Ritchie's banner like frames that keeps chipping the screen to depict different vantage.
Other than that The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a complete adventurous and humorous package. We have an excellent franchise in the making. Giving you a heads up for an impending badass series!

Is This The End Of The Line For Jason Bay?
Like us on Facebook hereFollow @mlbreports
Tuesday, January.15/2013
Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Writer/Website Owner): Follow @chuckbooth3024
Jason Bay begins 2013 with the Seattle Mariners on perhaps his last chance at the Major Leagues for his career. It was only on 2009 where he finished an ALL-Star Season with the Boston Red Sox – taking home a Silver Slugger Award and finishing in 7th for AL MVP Voting. That year, he hit for a 3 Slash Line of – .267/.384/.923, with 36 HRs (3rd in AL) and 119 RBI (2nd in AL). The man also walked 94 times and scored 103 Runs. It was a Career Year, yet he also had 3 other 30+ HRs, 100+ RBI and 100+ Run Years in 2005, 2006 and 2008. Bay picked a perfect year to be a Free Agent after his last year with the Red Sox.. While he cashed in on a 4 YR/64 Million Dollar Contract from the New York Mets, the Boston Red Sox knew of some hampering injuries that were sure to plague the Canadian ALL-Star from Trail. B.C. for the length of the deal… Boy did they turn out to be right on this prognostication!
What happened in New York City could not be classified by anything but horrendous. It was a move to an un-hitter friendly park at Citi Field. Bay then spent parts of 3 years injured or absolutely putting up abysmal numbers for the NL East Franchise. Of course 2012 would be the ultimate worst as the Right Fielder hit a paltry .165 with 8 HRs and 20 RBI in 194 AB. He had become a shadow of his former ALL-Star self and the Mets had enough of the anemic offense. They ate all of the remaining 21 Million Dollars left on his contract for 2013 and granted Bay his walking papers.
Jason Bay Highlights 2011 – Mature Lyrics Content – Parental Guidance is advised
Seattle came calling to Jason Bay by the tune of a 1 YR/ 1 Million Dollar Contract. So now he will try to resurrect his career with the Major League Franchise closest to his home of Trail B.C (is 412 Miles from Safeco Field.) In my opinion, it is not a bad signing for the Mariners. The club has a depth chart of Franklin Gutierrez (CF), fellow Canadian (OF) Michael Saunders, Eric Thames (OF), Casper Wells (CF/LF), plus a collection of Mike Carp (1B/DH/LF) Raul Ibanez and even Robert Andino can play CF in a pinch. They also have Carlos Peguero in the Minors, however he has only hit .191 in limited At-Bats for the big club, so expect for him to stay down in AA or AAA.
Gutierrez has missed almost 200 games in the last few years, so the Mariners definitely can't bank on him, however he is a former Gold Glove Award Winner (2010) if healthy. Michael Saunders almost had a 20/20 year last year, with 19 HRs and 21 SB in 507 AB. Look for him to be reel in one of the starting positions. At this point in his career, Ibanez is better suited to be a DH/LF versus Right Handed Pitching only. Despite driving in over 1000 RBI in the last 11 years, the 3 time Mariner is now 40 Years Old and will turn 41 on June.2/2013. He still had a 3 Slash Line of – .248/.319/.812, with 19 HRs and 57 RBI in 312 AB during the 2012 Year for the New York Yankees. The Mariners would gladly take those numbers from either their DH or LF considering their production of recent years.
Casper Wells had decent power numbers with the Mariners last year, with 10 HRs and 36 RBI in 285, however he carried a .228 Batting Average that will not cut it. Mike Carp or Justin Smoak might be traded by the club before the season starts, so I wont even go over Carp's less than stellar numbers, however I will tell you that either one of these guys was made expendable when the M's traded for Kendrys Morales. With Jesus Montero also splitting Catching and Designated Hitting time with John Jaso, it seems that there will be limited At-Bats to go around.
Eric Thames may be the key to whether or not Jason Bay sees any real time in 2013. The former Blue Jay had displayed some decent power in his early career – smacking 21 HRs in just 633 Career At-Bats, however he is not very patient at the dish, carrying a .296 OBP through his 4 years of limited action.
Technically the Depth Chart will have Gutierrez in CF, Saunders in RF and Ibanez in LF as the Opening Day Projection. Again, you can't count on Gutierrez to be healthy, plus Ibanez does not fare well against LHP, so Eric Thames should see some nice AB as the teams 4th OF. That would leave both Casper Wells and Jason Bay to duke it out for the 5th OF spot on the Roster. I would give Bay a chance to pick up some AB. At least the guy can walk, something the Mariners routinely finish last in the American League at.
For a 1 Million Dollar risk, Bay is worth the gamble. None of the Outfielders are of ALL-Star caliber – and many of them possess flaws in their hitting. Bay picked the right set of circumstances to be in. Whenever he has his chance to play, he must produce early in order to keep regular playing time. Bay is 34 Years old, so his leadership will certainly help in the clubhouse. He also provides nice depth in case of injury. Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik may even end up trading Wells or Thames if the former Rookie Of the Year can regain some of his form.
People from his hometown of Trail may want to attend any game that Bay may play in during 2013, as it may be his last year in the Major Leagues!

As you are reading this blog, you probably know about Innotribe.
Just in case, here a link for a quick overview. In a nutshell, Innotribe is SWIFT's initiative to enable collaborative innovation in the financial community, and within SWIFT itself.
Since the three and a half years of its inception, the visible part of Innotribe has been on the front-end of the innovation process: the community and the network, the ideation events such as Innotribe@Sibos and Innotribe@Mumbai, the experimental approach.
With our fresh, open, friendly and neutral approach, we have moved the needle in the financial industry and Innotribe has become a brand enabling the financial industry and SWIFT to "have a seat at the innovators table" (an expression I like to use occasionally). There are nice success stories of how we have gathered innovators and generated lots of ideas.
Yet, people sometimes say: after all the dust has settled, where are the new initiatives, products and services that are coming from Innotribe?
It is a very significant and valid question – what is the value of innovation? What is the value of the brand? What is the value of my 10 strong Innotribe team at SWIFT? What's in it for the financial industry?
I'd like to share three success stories to answer these questions and illustrate the value of Innotribe.
Before I share the stories, let me quickly explain (or remind you, dear frequent reader ;-)) how Innotribe works.
I call it "the castle and the sandbox".
If you want innovation, it is necessary to make "space" for it. Compared to your core business – the "castle" – you need to create a space for experimentation (and yes, failure) – the "sandbox". More on this in my previous post here.
With Innotribe, we have established the Innotribe incubator as the "sandbox". The incubator is a physical place, a fund, a process, a governance framework, and a legal framework. And – last but not least – the people engaging in innovation.
The Innotribe incubator is the financial industry sandbox.
Right now there are 6 projects in the Innotribe incubator. But what is most interesting is that, since it creation in January 2011, the incubator has produced 3 successful concepts which have been adopted and, for some, put in production and right now generating new revenue!
Now we're talking business. New products, New clients, New revenues.
The 3 concepts are: MyStandards, the Startup Challenges and the EBAM Central Utility.
Innotribe MyStandards
MyStandards is collaborative web-based platform that allows for efficient management of standards and market practices across the industry.
The innovation lies in the radical change in how SWIFTs standards releases are designed and distributed. The basic idea is to apply social media tools and techniques, resulting in faster and more collaborative processes.
Another innovation is the business model of this product – a "freemium" model where the basic functions are free, and value-added components are priced when used.
Yet another innovation was also the way the project team was formed – through a SWIFT internal recruitment fair, where the opportunity was given to all developers at SWIFT to participate.
MyStandards is now a new SWIFT product, to be launched officially early May in New York and London. It has already generated several sales even before the formal launch.
Here is a link to a more detailed project profile.
Innotribe Start-Up Challenges
This is a program that aims to bridge the gap between large financial institutions and early stage (or first round) financial industry related start-ups.
Related to this, the goal is also to build an eco-system where venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, banks and start-up can explore new opportunities.
As you can see, this is not about a new SWIFT or banking product, but about an innovation to save costs by providing to financial institutions a quality selection of startups. Some institutions don't do such searches at all – this program does it for them. Some institutions do search the startup eco-system, at great cost – this program reduces that cost.
Outside of these benefits, we have enabled the forming of this eco-system with the gracious help of our sponsors, so the challenges pay for themselves.
After a successful pilot in Sibos Toronto, we feature in 2012 three regional events (NYC – already behind us and highly successful, Singapore in April and Belfast in June) and a global final event at Innotribe@Sibos Osaka. See innotribe.com for more info.
Here is a link to a more detailed project profile.
Innotribe EBAM Hub
The Electronic Bank Account Management Central Utility (EBAM-CU) aims to provide an automated, multi-bank and multi-region solution to corporates managing multiple accounts in multiple banks.
The first innovation features a central utility operated by SWIFT, in a space where SWIFT does not traditionally operate. The second innovation is in the way the product was built, in a tight co-operation with an existing player. And the third innovation, at least in this space, is the co-creation development model with tight integration with the potential users. It is expected that the operating model will be some form of co-investment with these users.
The product is in the final stages of approval by the SWIFT board.
Here is a link to a more detailed project profile.
There you go, our 3 babies! We in the team love them. But certainly not as much as the people that made them happen, at SWIFT and in the community.
Many thanks to these innovators.
And there's a lot more in the incubator now, stay tuned. As soon as I gather some breath, i'll blog about these as well!

Philip Seymour Hoffman was killed earlier this month by a deadly mixture of heroin, cocaine, and several other drugs -- this according to the NYC medical examiner.
The medical examiner just released the official cause of death -- listing "acute mixed drug intoxication" as the reason PSH passed away suddenly on February 2nd.
According to the medical examiner, the drugs in the actor's system at the time of his death were heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety) and amphetamines (uppers like Adderall).
Mixing heroin and cocaine is often termed "speedballing." It's the same mixture that killed Chris Farley, River Phoenix, and John Belushi.

Efforts continue to find quality wheat growers in our Southern California region.
Meanwhile, we can look into cultivating some grain right in our back yards. Or front yards. Bake Your Lawn is the motto of a movement that started in the United Kingdom, to grow wheat in the neighborhood and get families and schools involved.
I planted three 6-foot rows of Glenn in a spot near our garage. Seed about two inches apart and an inch deep.
The wheat sprouted in three days and was 18" high in three weeks.
In just over a month, booting took place and seed heads were beginning to appear.
Usually wheat is planted in late fall or early spring, but this crop developed in July and August while we were away and a neighbor was giving them occasional watering. It happened fast.
Our small acreage had a yield of about one hundred seed heads, some quite open, but most hanging onto their kernels.
Glenn has a reputation for resisting shattering.
Looks like about 150g of fresh wheat berries, right out of our front yard.
Enough to enrich a country loaf of sourdough.Send your local wheat success pictures.

In its March edition, Bloomberg Markets Magazine ranks the top 25 frontier markets for investors.
Frontier markets could also be termed 'pre-emerging' markets. These countries are distinguished by capital markets that are underdeveloped compared to emerging markets.
The scoring system the magazine used indicates that, by and large, these frontier markets are more desirable investment destinations than their emerging market counterparts.
Bloomberg Markets used a variety of criteria to rank these countries, from government debt to labor force participation ratios.
We present their list of the most attractive frontier markets for investors. Along with each country's total score, we've included GDP growth, average annual inflation, and government debt-to-GDP ratio projections from 2013 to 2017, as well as a ranking of how easy it is to conduct business in the nation.
The list is dominated by African and Asian nations, though a few European and South American countries also made the cut.

Black-out causes
by Jovann Nivs at
All information on the
Bethel computer system
was lost on March 28 when
the electricity on the Ar-den
Hills campus was cut
off during a severe snow
storm. Wiped out were all
academic registration in-formation,
financial ac-count
balances and the
alumni records.
An unidentified but very
reliable source in the Re--
gistrar's office said the loss
could be chaotic. Lost from
the computer records was
information relating to stu-dents'
transcripts, current
class lists and student
biographical data. The
source admitted that the
office is not sure how the
information will be repro-grammed
into the compu-ter.
Information is needed
daily to verify graduation
requirements and to send
out transcripts. The source
suggested only one possi-ble
option for re-gathering
the information: request
students to supply infor-mation
regarding classes
and grades received while
at Bethel.
The banking windows
have been closed this week
as a result of the erasure of
student account informa-tion.
A window worker
said in an interview that
she has heard no word as
to what the college will be
doing in regard to the ac-counts.
She reported hearing ru-mors,
however, including
balancing of all accounts
at zero balance due. A par-tial
record of accounts is
traceable through checks
but she stated she does
not know how they..plan
to verify cash payments.
There are receipts for pay-ments,
but there is a ques-tion
as to the complete-ness
of receipt records.
No withdrawals will be
allowed on students sav-ings
accounts until the ex-istence
of funds in the ac-count
is verified.
The alumni office lost
the record of current ad-dresses
which was stored
on in the computer sys-tem.
This loss could result
in budget cuts for 1982-83,
as a major fund-raising
campaign was to begin
April 15. Left with a ske-leton
mailing list, incom-ing
funds from the cam-paign
are expected to de-crease
Typewriters to strike Bethel
by John E. Janson
It was discovered late
last night that 40 Found-ers
have been held hos-tage
since late January.
They were allegedly taken
hostage by the interim sign
language class, which is
apparently the reason no
one knew about it until
The hostage situation
was discovered when the
silent captors moved their
hostages from the Orange
Listening Room, where
they had been held since
January 29, 1982, to the
fourth floor of the Fine
Arts building and placed
them in solitary confine-ment,
each hostage in a
separate practice room.
"I knew something was
strange when I went in to
use one of the practice
rooms to practice on my
bongos," said senior music
major Barb Brainsample,
better known as Bongo
Barb. "I looked into sev-eral
of the rooms, but they
were all being used. At
first I thought they were
practicing, but then I no-ticed
the gags in their
Brainsample immediate-ly
notifed the night
watchman, Maynard Beef-cakes,
who was heard to
comment, "Oh boy! This
will be even more fun than
writing tickets."
The sign language ter-rorists
are making several
demands for the release of
their hostages and a spe-cialist
has been called in
to translate.
The only demands de-ciphered
so far have been
"Fish must be forever
stricken from the Food
Service menu," and "There
must be a Marcel Marceau
movie festival in the gym."
When asked why she
hadn't notified the police
when she notice her hus-band
hadn't returned from
Founder's Week, Mrs. Lena
Lutefiskson replied, "He
never came back from
Founder's Week? No won-der
I've been talking to my-self
The administration has
decided not to give in to
the demands of the terror-ists,
saying, "If we give
into these people, the next
thing you know, every in-terim
class is going to
think they can walk all
over us. The mural class
will want to paint murals
on the gym floor, and the

I absolutely love these step-by-steps. Thank you so very much for your generous efforts. It's truly wonderful to see the process of an artist shown in such detail, especially an artist from the golden age of illustration.ReplyDelete
Sometimes the process of creation can be tricky, and one can feel that one is reinventing the wheel. To see another artist work from start to finish can help one to feel more grounded, and less alone.
Thank you once again for this superb blog.
Thanks for your enthusiastic comment, harley. I have some more material like this and will schedule it in for some other upcoming week. What I hope people got from this demo is how much emphasis Parker placed on developing a sound concept and a solid composition. I loved his line about using the paints that were "closest to his elbow" - emphasizing that slavish attention to what materials a master uses is not the secret to a good illustration.ReplyDelete

Leif, you're right - a real artist can make a compelling picture with a stick in the dirt.ReplyDelete
I really look forward to seeing some more step-by-steps in the future.
These tutorial posts were amazing. I had one question, he says that he used whatever medium he had near him, but that it could have been achieved with ink, oils, etc. I'm assuming that all of the painting for this piece was done in gouache, is that correct?ReplyDelete
Thanks again for the great post, and for having such a helpful, inspiring blog.
I'm pretty sure you're right, keith - gouache was the mainstay medium of the 50's 'New School' illustrators. They used it in place of oils because of the quick drying time and its generally flat, graphic quality contributed to the proliferation of art done in this style (with parker leading the way).ReplyDelete
Very glad you enjoyed these posts! :-)
