Once you have fed in the list of keywords or websites that you wish to target with your excavation exercise, you just need to press start. You can also give it dig command if you want it to dig out details from other sites linked to the sites that you originally intend to target. It seamlessly collects thousands of phone/fax/ mobile numbers in a matter of seconds & gives them to you in .TXT or .CSV format.

President Criticizes NDAA Clauses with Signing Statement
When President Obama signed the much-ballyhooed NDAA into law, he also issued a "signing statement," a fairly recent presidential practice that explains the Executive Branch take on the Legislative Branch's work. The President's signing statement notes the Constitution only allows the President to accept or reject the bill as a whole, but he still objects to some provisions.
The New York Times notes he took issue with restrictions on the transfer of Guantanamo detainees, and several sites highlighted his consternation over Section 533, previously described as containing 'religious liberty protections.' The Section was a compromise between the House and Senate and had been opposed by atheists and the ACLU. The White House had previously objected. President Obama said:
Section 533 is an unnecessary and ill-advised provision, as the military already appropriately protects the freedom of conscience of chaplains and service members. The Secretary of Defense will ensure that the implementing regulations do not permit or condone discriminatory actions that compromise good order and discipline or otherwise violate military codes of conduct. My Administration remains fully committed to continuing the successful implementation of the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and to protecting the rights of gay and lesbian service members; Section 533 will not alter that.
The statement does not say the President will not enforce the law; it says when the Executive Branch creates implementing regulations, as required by the same law, those regulations will "not permit or condone" discrimination. Notably, the President specifically called out DADT and homosexuality, which was not mentioned in the section but had been an impetus of the House version of the bill.
By the 'letter of the law,' the statement could be foreboding, since a Chaplain who declined to perform a homosexual ceremony because of his objections to the lifestyle could be accused of "discriminatory actions" that violated the "rights" of homosexuals. Based on current policies, it is unlikely that is an intended outcome.
The Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty called on the President to "honor [the] religious liberty provisions."

Britain's army at the beginning of the First World War was relatively small and professional. There was no conscription of population before 1916, and so recruitment of volunteers in large numbers became a huge challenge.
The Parliamentary Recruitment Committee was set up at the start of the War, and chaired by the Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith. It used local political party associations to form a network which campaigned through the circulation of leaflets and posters, and organising rallies and other public events. Considerable social pressure was brought to bear on men to volunteer, and those who did not risked vilification as 'shirkers' or cowards.
For many men, however, awareness of their responsibilities towards their families as wage earners proved a compelling disincentive to volunteer. Often, the levels of compensation offered to the families of men who enlisted were not sufficient to avert the risk of destitution to wives and children or elderly parents. Posters like this used that powerful sense of duty to family, but instead suggested that, in the future, children would hold their fathers to account on the service that they performed for their country rather than the social protection that they ensured for their immediate family.
This poster shows a sophisticated use of art and imagery in provoking a powerful emotional response. These visually strong examples are among the best remembered, and more commonly reproduced, war posters. However, British recruitment posters were often much simpler in design, using only text and single colours.

Avril Lavigne will deliver her sixth studio album Head Above Water on Friday, February 15th, but first the Canadian singer drops "Dumb Blonde" featuring Nicki Minaj.
The Young Money rapper revealed her excitement about the collaboration on social media in anticipation of the song's release:
I used to drive to my job @ Red Lobster playing this woman's album for an hour straight everyday for months. Crying to "I'm with you", blasting "complicated" "things I'll never say" "nobody's fool" "sk8er boi". omg. #DumbBlonde tmrw. This woman is so unbelievably talented
Avril added:
Nicki Minaj is my favorite!!! I've been listening to her for so long. As soon as I recorded #DumbBlonde, I knew she'd be the perfect artist to collaborate with on it. When she said yes it was like a dream come true!!! I can't wait for everyone to hear!
In addition to the new song, Lavigne will also build excitement for her upcoming LP with a special appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, which will be followed by a Friday morning performance on Good Morning America after the release of Head Above Water.

This is the 44th Expo and shall be held from Dec 12, 2009 to Jan 4, 2010, it is always a good chance for us to buy bargain local products, since I live near Victoria Park, I don't have to worry about the hassle of carrying the items back home, but I would always focused on value items by quality instead of quantity, as even if my home is nearby, carrying purchased items around inside the venue can be a challenge, there are just way too many people there, even I got there today at non-peak hours, some shops were still having lots of people in front of the store.
紹香園 is popular for its walnuts, as well as preserved fruits, unfortunately my favorite 話梅肉 (some sort of preserved Chinese plum meat) is not available, and when I tried to ask, I was edged out by a few elders, whom I believe are definitely more than 60 years old.
Another store that I would patronage year over year is Comvita Manuka honey, this year they offer package of 4 bottles of 250g UMF 15+ plus free Huni skin lotion for HKD 999, or 3 bottles of 500g UMF 10+ also plus free Huni skin lotion for the same amount, I have not yet decided on which to take, but sure I would buy either one of this offer.
Another of my favorite Koi Kei Bakery 鉅記手信 has an impressive shop "building" there, quite inline with the Central library at the background, quite an ingenious design! But I did not see my favorite Flossy Pork Egg Rolls (肉鬆蛋卷), and I am not sure if the prices are really attractive, I do not buy anything there, they now have a store in Causeway Bay, quite convenient in case I need to buy something from them.
But the real value of my visit there today is the food, Farm House Chinese restaurant (農圃飯店) is a popular but expensive restaurant that I have tried only twice in the past, but today at the 工展會 expo, I can order four pieces of 蟹粉小籠包 (Hairy Crab paste Xiao Long Bao) for HKD 30! Their Almond juice Pig Lung soup (杏汁豬肺湯) is truly excellent, this is really an excellent chance for us to try out this restaurant's high quality food at very reasonable price. Again, I am lucky to be living close to the venue, so I can order take home and eat them while they were still hot! A word of caution though, if you order and eat there, it can be quite a hassle.
SuperStar also has a counter there, but their crab paste garlic toast (蟹粉蒜茸飽) was a little disappointing even at HKD 15 for 2 pieces, the crab stuff seems to be not very fresh, I would not recommend it. But you should buy their Crispy Whitebait with peanuts (脆脆銀魚) at HKD 50 for 6 packs, as it is a really a big bargain! The abalone seems to be quite tempting, but I did not get it.
By the way, the entrance fee is HKD 10, reasonable enough. But the true spending is not that amount, but the hassle of moving around the crowd, and your time. If you can get there during week days, it would be better, going there during weekends or holiday could be a nightmare for some of you.
Before I watched the movie I had read about some criticizm about it, mostly on the scientific inaccuracies and miuse of the Mayan legend, I think these remarks do have points, but if we see this movie from a pure entertainment perspective, I think it is a great production that should be deeply appreciated.
One great function of a movie can be to help us visualizing something, sometimes when we read or learn about something, the understanding can somehow be limited by our own capability to imagine. For example, for people who had never experienced earthqakes, tsunami or volcanic explosion, they can only have a somewhat imagined feel of what the damage, or fear would be like. After all, you won't be seeing the deeper part of the terrible things on TV News or News paper. A movie, especially one with today's computer technologies, can bring that experiences vividly through the big screens and sound systems in modern cinema. This movie's special effects is the best I have ever seen, it is amazingly realistic!
The storyline is not bad overall, though I do have conservation on some of the ideas, I think ignoring the right of ordinary people in such situation is very bad, but being too emotional and jeopardizing the whole plan is not a good thing either, and I always dislike the idea of having everything hanging on the luck of a single individual, if that should be the case, it should be something to be avoided, and not glorified.
One interesting thought that comes to my mind is, if indeed a doomsday is coming, how would the governments of the world handles it? Would they risk chaos and let the whole world knows about it? Or just prepare to save those who are "worth saving"?
This movie is best seen at Cinema, I watched it at IFC and the facilities are good, I wish I can see it in IMAX, but even I have seen it at Cinema, I plan to get a Bluray copy when it is available, it is worth being a collector item.

Plastic is a by-product of oil refining. Plastic bags are prilimnary made from polyethylene (also knows as polythene), which comes from oil refineries as small resin pellets.
- A machine heats the pellet to about 180 degree C and pulls out from it a long, thin tube of cooling plastic.
- A hot bar is dropped on the tube at intervals, melting a line.
- Each melted line becomes the bottom of one bag and the top of another.
- The sections are cut out and a hole for the bag's handles is stamped in each piece.

Iowa AAA
The I-Cubs began their critical eight-game West Coast road trip in brilliant fashion Friday night with a 5-0 victory over Fresno at Chukchansi Park. The win, over the Pacific South leading Grizzlies, allowed Iowa to maintain its 2.5-game lead over Omaha in the American North Division.
Iowa has three more games at Fresno before playing four games at second-place Sacramento next week.
Austin Bibens-Dirkx put on yet another show in what has become a common occurrence by Chicago pitching prospects in recent weeks. Bibens-Dirkx scattered three hits over seven innings in winning his third consecutive start. He improved to 5-0 overall since joining Iowa at the beginning of July and has fashioned a 1.97 ERA in 32 innings.
The right-hander also withstood a 41-minute delay in the fourth inning when a pipe burst and water began flooding the warning track in the left-field corner. Play was eventually resumed and Bibens-Dirkx proved to be dominant.
He would get all the help he would need in the second inning when Bobby Scales connected for a two-run homer. Micah Hoffpauir returned to the I-Cubs from Chicago and went 2-for-4 with three runs scored, extending his hitting streak to 19 games. Hes batting .418 33-for-79 during the streak with eight homers and 24 RBIs. Hoffpauir is also two games shy of equaling the longest hitting streak in the PCL this season. Catcher Robinson Chirinos made his Iowa debut after moving up from Tennessee this week and went 2-for-4.
In other action, the AZL Cubs dropped a 5-3 decision to the AZL Mariners despite banging out 13 hits. Dustin Geiger was 3-for-3. Boise dropped a 4-1 decision to Tri-City at Memorial Stadium. In White Sox action, Great Falls was blanked at Billings, 3-0. Mike Blanke had a pair of hits, pushing his average to .344, seventh best in the Pioneer League.

Dinner place: De Post Belgian Beer CafeThursday, May 19, 2016
Half price mussels with a drink on Mussel Mania Mondays is probably one of the favourite things about Auckland for our Breton friend N. It's become a ritual for him to come here for at least the first and the last weeks of his regular Auckland stays. I guess they remind him of home, though the huge meaty NZ mussels are nothing like the tiny black ones where he is from.
Poor A who does not realise the deliciousness of seafood had to make do with a burger while N and I attacked our pots of mussels. Mussels with a wide selection of Belgian beers... miam !

See also: Paternoster, páternoster, Pater noster, and pater noster
From Middle English paternoster, pater noster, from Old English pater noster, from Latin Pater noster ("our father") (the first two words of the Oratio Dominica ("the Lord's prayer")), from pater ("father") + noster ("our"). The lift and the fishing equipment are named from their resemblance to a rosary.

- (Christianity) The Lord's prayer, especially in a Roman Catholic context.
- A slow, continuously moving lift or elevator consisting of a loop of open-fronted cabins running the height of a building.
- (architecture) A bead-like ornament in mouldings.
- (fishing) A tackle rig with a heavy sinker at the end of the line, and one or more hooks on traces at right angles spaced above the sinker.
- 2011, Jamin Forbes, "Tackle", in Cod Cod Cod, Croydon, Vic.: Australian Fishing Network, →ISBN, page 56:
- A paternoster is any style of hook rig where the hook(s) are on droppers above a fixed sinker. One or two hooks are used on a paternoster rig. The droppers are tied using dropper loops tied directly in the line. The twisted dropper is an ideal knot as it stands out at right angles to the line.
- 2012, Peter Kaminsky; Greg Schwipps; Dominic Garnett, Fishing for Dummies, UK edition, Chichester, West Sussex: John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN:
- In plain terms, the paternoster is a rig with the weight at the bottom and hook traces (sometimes called snoods by sea anglers) attached above in fixed positions. Besides a tidy presentation, this arrangement allows the sea angler to try more than one bait and you'll often find paternosters with two hooks (or even three or four). Effectively this allows us to hedge our bets and try more baits (which could be the same or different types), thereby increasing the scent and attraction.
- 2016, D[avid] A. Weaver, Sea Angling Rig Book, rev. edition, [s.l.]: M. P. Dawn Publications:
- PATERNOSTER TWIN This rig is slightly more complicated than the single paternoster, however this rig has the added advantage of having two hooks, these can be different sizes and be baited with different baits.
- (Christianity, archaic) A string of beads used in counting prayers that are said; a rosary.
- (Christianity, archaic) Every eleventh bead in a rosary, at which, while counting the beads, the Lord's Prayer is to be repeated.
- (Christianity, archaic) A medieval artisan who crafted rosary beads or prayer nuts.
- (archaic) A patent medicine, so named because salesmen would pray the Lord's Prayer over it before selling it.

Black Chyna and the Kardashian clan seem to have been in great spirits ahead of the arrival of Baby Dream.
In fact, they took the chance to get on board the latest trend; the Mannequin challenge.
The new mother posed with her legs in the air whole her relatives watched on. Rob issued waiting with arms stretched out, ready to catch the baby.
Kris Jenner and Blac's mother, Tokyo Toni also got involved, along with some other pals. The fad involves participants remaining completely still as the camera winds its way through the area.
Beyonce and Adele are among the other celebrities to have got involved in the viral game. Of course, there were no such scenes in real life – Blac later gave birth via C-section.
Dream Renee Kardashian arrived on Thursday morning at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.
Speaking to E! News, Kris said: 'I got to watch [the] delivery. It was so beautiful, and I'm so excited and happy to have another grandchild! It was one of the most precious moments of my life.'

Classic Braised Veggies
Hot or cold, this dish is so yummy! I'm making it again tonight…
There's nothing better than using up all the fresh summer veggies in a delicious, healthy, easy dish that makes for the perfect dinner on warm nights. While we typically roast or grill our vegetables, we switched things up here with a method that doesn't get as much time in the limelight as it should: braising. Braising our vegetables mostly just means browning them (like you would chicken or pork) in a hot pan, so you add really great flavor, then cooking them in liquid so they stay moist and tender. We used broccoli, zucchini, tomatoes and bell peppers in our dish, but you can feel free to add in anything you like…it's impossible to go wrong with this!
Braised Veggies
Serves 6 35 minutes
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 zucchinis, roughly chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- sage, rosemary, thyme, dried basil, or dried oregano, to taste
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Heat olive oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add broccoli, zucchini, onion, bell pepper, tomato and celery, and lightly brown on all sides, being careful to not let the veggies burn.
- Once vegetables have browned and softened, add garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour in chicken broth and tomato paste, and stir everything together. If using, add herbs now.
- Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, and cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until veggies are fork tender.
- Remove lid and bring mixture back up to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, or until remaining sauce thickens. Stir frequently so nothing burns.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, then serve hot. Enjoy!

It's exciting and I love hearing the residual noises and imagining all the fun that's out there being had. I especially love it in my fuzzy pajamas, laying on my bed, enjoying the otherwise quiet house. That must be the part where I'm getting old. Ah, well.
Tonight I'm reading the newest Rick Riordan installation in the Percy Jackson universe. Can't wait to roll around in it. I've missed Annabeth and Hazel. Powerful girls with powerful problems. Nothing more distracting. I'm a huge fan of the series, but I'm coming off a John Green run.
I inhaled An Abundance of Katherines, Looking for Alaska and Will Greyson, Will Greyson. It's going to be a different deal reading Percy and friends now. Nobody does dialogue like John Green. He made me laugh and cry at the same time. I think the feral pig hunt in Katherines might be the best scene I've ever read. I'm feeling inadequate in writing dialogue like never before. Seriously, the man is a genius. A real one.
Since I'm rambling, I spent this evening with another real genius, the very talented writer we shall call "Q". I learned some very interested things about web comic strips, fandom and the correct pronunciation of Manga. Am I the only one who didn't know you ship two characters when you put them together? Also, I apparently have no idea the proper way to use Tumblr. But that's beside the point.
In conclusion (that's my Freshman Lit Class finally coming into good use), listen to football games from a far, read good books, especially John Green books and then go out on Tumblr and do whatever it is people do on there after they read a good book.

If it doesn't say Big Green Egg then it's not a Big Green Egg
The Big Green Egg is the only outdoor cooker of its type that offers a LIFETIME WARRANTY. This is because we are confident that our products are built to last a lifetime.
Here are some of the features that are unique to the Big Green Egg.
Dome Design
The distinctive shape of the Big Green Egg is a result of years of testing to find the perfect shape for optimal heat retention and airflow.
Enamel Coating
The signature green coating of the Big Green Egg is a proprietary ceramic enamel that is baked at temperatures above 1,400 C for many hours. This results in a durable surface that will not crack, fade or degrade even if left outside uncovered.
Ceramic Interior
The Big Green Egg interior undergoes a rigorous testing process over time to produce a surface that can withstand the high heat that the Big Green Egg is capable of producing and can be rapidly cooled without cracking or degrading. Inferior products tested under the conditions that we apply to our Eggs, rarely meet the same standard.
Do you want to trust a product that has been manufactured to ISO9001 standards and independently lab tested, or a product that hasn't?
Heat Insulation
Only the Big Green Egg offers a true thermal insulation rating that holds the heat inside the vessel. This is an important safety feature when cooking at high temperatures, as the exterior of the Egg remains relatively cool. It is also one of the main benefits of the Big Green Egg – the heat is retained inside the Egg which improves food flavour and charcoal efficiency.
After Sales Service
Customer service is a cornerstone of the Big Green Egg brand and we pride ourselves on always being available and responsive to our customer's needs.
Quality manufacturing
Everything about the Big Green Egg is driven by quality. Starting with the pure ceramic mix that is free from any impurites to the design of every accessory has been developed and perfected over years.

A Cold Hard Fact
HubPages is Dying
I'm writing this for everyone who writes on the HubPages platform - not just for those who transferred (willingly or not) from Squidoo.
I've been looking at the Quantcast and Alexa data and reading the numerous posts about people losing both traffic and their income writing for HubPages. It doesn't look good.
There are numerous reasons such as Google's latest Penguin, Panda, and Pirate updates but it doesn't matter why.
What matters is that if you leave HubPages, you should be able to delete your account, profile/identity (avatar), content and keep all of your deserved income.
On the current FAQ about account closure, it states: "Do not close your account if you do not want to forfeit your current balance."[1]
I feel this is grossly unfair. What's more, in their Terms of Use[2] it states:
"HubPages does not claim ownership of Your Hub Content or Author Content."
However, it also states:
"You may not remove your Author Content from the Service. [But I, like many others, NEVER joined HubPages]. HubPages may preserve and store Hub Content (including, for a commercially reasonable time, Hub Content you have removed from the Service) or Author Content, and may disclose such content if required to do so by law or if HubPages believes in good faith that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process (e.g., subpoenas); (b) enforce these Terms; (c) respond to claims that any Hub or Content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of HubPages, its users and the public."

Once someone has broken the law, you do not need to divulge more information to them. You contact the authorities (which I did). Within 24 hours of discovering an email from HubPages with the subject line "sousababy: Your Lenses Have Been Imported!" I filed an IC3 report.
But what about those who were already writing on HubPages or who willingly accepted the transfer of their work from Squidoo?
Yes, you have some options.
Halloween is Over, Squidoo's Best Season
HubPages didn't benefit at all from this "acquisition"
My Letter to the Company That Hosts HubPages
Dear Mr. Brian Britton, General Manager, Northern California at Level 3 Communications Inc. (San Francisco Bay Area),[9]
According to WHOIS information, you host HubPages Inc.[3]
Within 24 hours of discovering my stolen content, I filed an IC3 report.
I have not heard from the IC3 (yet) and I have since updated my file with them. I am claiming losses of 10 dollars/day per article that my content is being used by HubPages. As I'm sure you know, the IC3 is a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).
On November 4th, 2014, I discovered my profile, identity, and 293 articles of mine were still being publicly posted on HubPages (with their ads) making money for someone other than me. This entire transaction took place without my permission and despite my public protests during the Squidoo-HubPages illegal sale of authors' work.
You can access the complete picture of what transpired, including screenshot proof and my videotaped attempt to delete my entire account on Squidoo in Dear Google, HubPages Is Posting My Content and I Need to File 293 DMCA Notices.
On or around September 13th, 2014, my entire profile, avatar photo, and 293 articles of mine were copied onto your servers without permission. The original profile, avatar photo and 293 articles to which I own the exclusive copyrights, can be found at: https://web.archive.org/web/20140627140956/http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/sousababy
The unauthorized and infringing copy can be found at: http://sousababy.hubpages.com/
In addition, I'd like to remind you that HubPages Terms of Use states their "terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions."
However, California's Penal Code 496 (Receiving Stolen Property Law)[4] states it will "impose harsh criminal penalties on people who: buy, receive, conceal, sell, or withhold from the owner (author) any property [content] that they know has been stolen."
This letter is official notification under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).[5]
I demand the removal of my identity, profile, and all 293 articles from your servers. You need to notify HubPages Inc. of this notice and indicate that they need to remove the infringing material immediately. You also need to inform HubPages to cease any further posting of my identity (avatar), profile information and content from both their website (and your server) in the future.
A reminder: the law requires you (as a service provider), to remove or disable access to the infringing materials upon receiving this notice. Under US law, service providers are granted immunity from a copyright lawsuit if you act immediately to rectify copyright infringement.
In the event that HubPages does not comply, you will need to remove the infringing material from your servers to remain immune from a copyright infringement action. Otherwise, your immunity is lost.[6]
For Other Writers Who Will Come Forth
There is another reason I am publicly drawing your attention to this matter. For the sake of other online writers who might be held to the HubPages Terms of Use which states:
"In the event that the Agreement is terminated by you (pursuant to HubPages' receipt of your written termination notice) the entire amount of an earned balance in your account will be permanently forfeited by you (and you hereby waive any claim relating to the dispute of such payment and disclaim any and all interest in such funds)."
Undue Influence
When the resulting terms of a contract shocks the conscience of a court, the court may strike down a contract, labeling it as unconscionable.
Not only have I been shocked to find my identity, profile, and all 293 articles of mine on HubPages, I was horrified to find the same of someone who died on August 20th, 2013.
Naiza Oclares had 321 articles. Now they are on HubPages[8] with ads and making money for someone other than Naiza. This is truly shocking. The screenshot below was taken November 9th, 2014.
How Could Naiza Oclares Consent to This?
And how on earth could she have joined 8 weeks ago?
January 4th, 2015 - Who Set This Up?
I was appalled to discover this on Pinterest one day
Misrepresentation occurred numerous times during the Squidoo-HubPages transaction. Corey Brown reworded, concealed, or misrepresented the facts and consequences that writers would face if they did or did not agree to the transfer of their content to HubPages.
The following passages from Regret Your HubPages-Squidoo Transfer or Content Deletion? Help to Get Your Earnings Back are examples of misrepresentation:
"We want to make it clear that even after tomorrow's deadline, you will have complete access to your Dashboard..." ~ Corey Brown in his post Reminder: HubPages Opt Out Deadline is Tomorrow[10]
Access to delete our accounts or work was impossible after midnight ET on August 29th, 2014 - even though our work was publicly posted, with Amazon and eBay products available for purchase, and showing ads online until (at least) September 2nd, 2014.
This occurs when someone neglects to disclose (state) an important fact about the deal or contract. The parties involved have a duty to disclose only material facts. But if someone impacted by the terms of the deal (or contract) specifically asks about a fact (material or non-material), then that person has a duty to disclose the whole truth.
I am sure there are numerous examples, the ones most clearly stuck in my mind are the following found in Corey Brown's August 22nd, 2014 post titled Important Update on the HubPages Transition:[12]
TanoCalvenoa asks:
"Is there no option for being paid for August, but NOT being transferred to HubPages?"
Corey Brown responds:
"Transferring your account to HubPages has no bearing on the payment rules I mentioned above. There is no opt in requirement to be paid (and opting out is as described - you will be paid)."
Further along, TanoCalvenoa asks for further clarification and advises Corey Brown of my intentions (as sousababy on Squidoo). Note: screenshot proof follows this section.
TanoCalvenoa states:
"Answers to questions about the transfer continue to be unclear. Will anyone be paid for August for lenses that were deleted? If not, then it comes across as "You will consent to the transfer or no pay for you!" I deleted all my lenses but expect to be paid for July, and the portion of August that they were up. Or will I be punished for not wanting to be on HubPages?
One fellow lensmaster, sousababy, intends to leave her account up until close to midnight August 31st with intent of being paid for August.
Let's get a clear answer about this."
Corey Brown retorts:
"I answered your question below. If you delete lenses, they will only get their attributable revenue (Amazon and eBay royalties). I'm not sure what's unclear here, but to answer you specifically: you will be paid for July and you will be paid for whatever attributable revenue you earned in August for the lens(es) you've deleted. We are not basing payment on anything related to opting in (or not) with HubPages."
More Proof of Nondisclosure
And if you think that TanoCalvenoa and I were the only ones who found Corey Brown's responses vague and confusing, others did too.
In the comments section of two Google Plus posts, former Squidoo writer John Tannahill wrote the following (screenshot follows):
"I'm quite happy to see all my Squidoo lenses go offline completely for a time. I'm working on other things at the moment and not publishing..."[19]
"The drawing skills are improving I see. I deleted most of my lenses a couple of weeks ago, then couldn't decide what to do with the remaining five and missed the deadline. Now we'll have to see if the end up on HP or not."[20]
Marisa Wright assured us August 21st, 2014
When the site closes down, your articles will disappear:
And Those Who Were Away Were Told
"I was told I can only do it [keep content] in HP..."
No One Needs to Go to Court
But someone in California may be willing to testify
According to Copyright lawyer Charles Petit, as stated in an article[15] by Moira Allen, of Writing World:
"Under the terms of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, ISPs are required to remove material if they are notified that the material infringes upon someone's copyright. The infringement does not have to be "proven" (e.g., in court); the statement by the author that the material is an infringement is sufficient.
The notice of infringement makes the ISP [in this case, Level 3 Communications Inc.] responsible once notified of the infringement in writing, and is signed under penalty of perjury."
To Every Writer on HubPages
A court will never enforce a contract [Terms of Use] promoting something already against state or federal law.[14] Another person, who also filed an IC3 report, might be willing to appear in a court as a witness (however, HubPages has no legal right to retain the earnings of any writer who wishes to leave their platform).
Therefore, I am providing this notice and open letter in good faith and with the reasonable belief that rights I own [and the rights of other writers] are being infringed. Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the notification and in this open letter article is both true and accurate.
Should any writer currently on HubPages (whether they joined before or after Squidoo was acquired) wish to collect their earnings and promptly have their articles (aka Hubs) and account information permanently deleted - I am imploring you, Mr. Brian Britton, General Manager, Level 3 Communications Inc., to honour their request in a timely fashion.
To File Your Own DMCA Notice
Another writer on InfoBarrel, classicalgeek, has put together two form letters that make it easy to file a Notice of Infringement Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. I recommend using the second letter in her article Dealing with Copied Content: Easier, Faster DMCA Notices.
Final Point
Squidoo's Terms of Service and HubPages had/have identical statements:
"HubPages does not claim ownership of Your Hub Content or Author Content. Such content will be owned by You or a third party from whom You got permission to post the content."
Squidoo has removed their Terms of Service from their existing domain; however, I was able to locate the following via the Internet Archive:
We will NEVER, however, disclose personally identifying information, except as specifically authorized by you or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, legal process..."[16]
If we, as writers online, allow Seth Godin et al. and Paul Edmondson et al. to break their own Terms of Service/Use and violate US and state laws, we've lost everything. It means that anyone, at anytime, can buy our identity, profile, and content (perhaps without us ever knowing about it) and profit from it.
We might never see a cent from our hard earned work.
I wonder what Naiza Oclares or her family would have to say about this. And I wonder how many more people are out there who have no idea (for whatever reason) that their work/identity was illegally sold (without their permission) to Paul Edmondson et al. and he is profiting from it.
You do not need to be bound by the terms of any agreement once one party has broken the law. Anyone on HubPages right now has the right to claim all of their earnings and have their entire account, identity (avatar), and content deleted permanently - at any time.
HubPage's ISP [currently Level 3 Communications Inc.] must comply with any DMCA takedown request by the content owner (original author) in a timely fashion.
I will be forwarding a copy of this open letter article to the IC3, the Google Removals Team, to everyone I know on Google Plus that has any involvement with HubPages and sharing it among friends and family.
Thank you for reading and sharing my message.
Addendum November 12th, 2014
I had a great deal of traffic to this article, so I searched out the source.[17] Interestingly enough, someone who probably moderates on HubPages wrote a response [see screenshot next].
Her last two sentences state:
"She's one of the small group of writers who totally misunderstood their status at Squidoo and will never accept that Squidoo had the legal right to sell their business to HubPages, which included their articles. And to collect their Squidoo earnings, all they had to do was leave their Hubs [articles] published for a short period of time."
Now, if that doesn't tell you what HubPages was really after (confidential user information, identity, avatar, profile information) than I don't know what does.
And no, to reiterate again:
Squidoo's TOS [which is suspiciously removed from the site] stated:
"The content: who owns it?As a Lensmaster, you will be able to incorporate various forms of Content into your Lenses. Squidoo does not claim ownership of the Content you place on your Lens. The Content will be owned by you or a third party from whom you got permission to post the content."
"Our Privacy Policy is Your Privacy Policy
We will NEVER, however, disclose personally identifying information, except as specifically authorized by you..."
Small group of writers? Hmm, don't think so. And it looks like these suspicions were also raised in 2011 [almost three years ago] by Edward of Olympia, WA on the Consumer Affairs site which states:
"My attorney is watching HubPages, and if someone there starts to publish my old items, we will sue them for abuse of my first amendment rights. Some of the other people they did this same thing to, live in other countries, and the few hundred dollars a month they were making was saving their lives and putting their children through school. HubPages yanked that away from them, with not one single word of explanation."[18]
Addendum November 15th, 2014
It's been drawn to my attention that people who deleted all of their lenses (but left their account up) had their profiles automatically moved to HubPages without their consent.
Numerous people who were upset about this whole transaction also confided in me that they would only leave their "crappiest" lenses [articles] on Squidoo with the hopes of being paid everything they were entitled to for the entire month of August 2014.
Remember Corey Brown assured us that transfers would begin on September 2nd - so why wouldn't they be entitled to the all the monies owing for August (ad pool revenue, eBay, Amazon, and "late" payments)?
Note: See references section at the end of my article for links to these quotes. And I also provide screenshot proof (following these quoted passages).
In the comments section of Reminder: HubPages Opt Out Deadline is Tomorrow,[21] Corey Brown stated:
"Once your account is moved, all of your Featured lenses will get a 301 redirect. You'll have to check with HubPages on how to delete your account. We plan to shut down the Squidoo servers after all accounts are successfully transferred and we've wrapped up everything on this end. That's expected to happen at the end of September/beginning of October."
And, Corey Brown also states:
"We won't turn the lights off until after all of the accounts that are going to be transferred are successfully transferred and we've done all the other necessary things. The expected date for that would be late September or early October.
Your account will be transferred all at once, but the accounts themselves will be transferred on a rolling basis. You'll get an email once your account is moved.
Amazon and eBay modules are being converted over. You should check your profile on HubPages for Amazon and other settings.
If your account is opted in (or hasn't been deleted and has at least 1 featured lens), then all of your lenses attached to that account will be transferred. Featured lenses will be published on HubPages with a 301 redirect from the original Squidoo URL. WIP lenses will be in your account, but unpublished. You can update/publish those at any time..."
TanoCalvenoa left me the message on my Google Plus post:[22]
"Well, they certainly didn't give me my earnings. Corey Brown promised me when I specifically asked, that we would get everything we're entitled to, and that there was no requirement to go along with the transfer to HubPages to get paid.
Squidoo also said, multiple times, that only lensmasters with featured lenses would have their accounts transferred to HubPages.
So guess what - after deleting all my lenses in the second half of August they only paid me half (approximately) of what they owed me, and then they transferred my account with no lenses/articles to HubPages! They were so deceptive and dishonest, it's unbelievable.
I had to log into HubPages, essentially creating an account for a few seconds until I could delete my account from there. Otherwise my name and image would've been on there without my consent and against what they had promised!"
So I have to wonder, is it user information that Seth Godin et al. sold to Paul Edmondson et al. and if so, what is the current status of that information? Is it being stored, sold, or otherwise used without the original owner ever knowing about it?
After perusing the HubPages forum, I found it interesting that moderators (employees of HubPages) are encouraging writers to keep their work published "for at least a year." Is this in order to maximize advertising revenue?
Also, I find it curious that a moderator[23] would state "if they're published on HubPages, they're at high risk of being stolen..." is that because content is being sold?

Check Back for Updates
I am still waiting for a response from a Consumer Affairs lawyer, the IC3 and the ISP for HubPages - Mr. Brian Britton or someone from Level 3 Communications Inc.
My related articles: HubPages and Squidoo: 8 Lies You've Been Told, Theories Why HubPages Unfeatured Former Squidoo Articles, Why on Earth Is Any Squid Filing a DMCA With Google? and Dear Larry Page and Paul Edmondson provide succinct lists, more proof of where your trust (and the law) has been broken, and squash the rumours you've been led to believe by shills and trolls throughout this ordeal.
Another shocking revelation is discovering how author identities are being used online and on Pinterest by HubPages. I talk you through how to check for and report someone on Pinterest.
If you want a good laugh, my satirical observations of this Squidoo-HubPages fiasco will put a smile back on your face. And find out the hilarious excuses that Pinterest came up with when they responded to my complaint.
Protect yourself from identity theft. Do not give HubPages your SSN (Social Security Number) or tax information. And find out the truth behind the Editor's Choice program. Clearly, HubPages is breaking the law.
Finally, in a last-ditch attempt to have my identity, profile, and articles removed from HubPages, I wrote Paul Edmondson: Ban Sousababy From HubPages. I even reported my own profile on HubPages.
And on April 22nd, 2015, I wrote an open letter to the FTC titled Dear Federal Trade Commission. If justice is served, I am requesting that 50% of any monies recovered from the Squidoo-HubPages deal go directly towards providing safe drinking water for California.
Thank you for sharing this important information with other online writers.

Remix at Work
The No Fire Today Remix is most apposite an example of how remix works as a creative strategy of reusing found material.
No Fire Today Remix demonstrates the creative possibility that accessible and user-friendly digital sampling and mixing tools afford to people who would otherwise never be able to author something.
Intertextuality vs. Remix
To show the difference between intertextuality and remix, let us consider the following example.
The image shows Obama conversing with Putin over the phone, Obama asking what Putin will have for Thanksgiving dinner, the response being "Turkey".
One will fail to understand the pun/joke unless already acquainted with the context. And that is the recent (25 November 2015) downing of a Russian bomber by Turkish figure jets. Reports say that the Turkish shot the Russian airplane for allegedly entering Turkish airspace for as short as 10 seconds, which angered Russian President Putin who threatened a swift and harsh response.
Remix Complements and Compliments
'Remix is an essential act of RW creativity. It is the expression of a freedom to take "the songs of the day or the old songs" and create with them' (Lessig 56). One 2014 club hit neatly illustrates this principle: songwriter, producer, remixer, and DJ, Edu Imbernon collaborates with vocalist and producer Sutja Gutiérrez who sings the lyrics from English rock band Joy Division's 1979 Candidate (1), retaining the essential sounding, reminiscent of Depeche Mode's early work, but over a completely different musical arrangement: the rock/new wave sound has been replaced by a progressive techno beat, where the new composition's title is Your Rules (2), which is a phrase from the original lyrics. Your Rules 'does not compete with or weaken the market for the creative work that gets remixed' (Lessig 56): Your Rules both complements and compliments Candidate.

Remix and Intertextuality in Zero Gravity Split
You have probably seen that cool series of Volvo Truck adverts where stunning experiments are being performed live to demonstrate the stability and reliability of the trucks. One of them was the Epic Split where Jean-Claude Van Damme performs a split standing between two Volvo trucks moving backwards and slowly drifting apart.
This advert stirred quite a bit of attention and soon a Hungarian CGI company released a parody video called Greetings from Chuck (The Epic Christmas Split). In it, the action star is performing a split standing on the wings of two jets flying high in the air. But that is not all - on Chuck Norris' shoulders are standing ten soldiers in combat uniform making a Christmas tree!
Van Damme's response soon followed in the Zero Gravity Split. In the video, Van Damme performs his epic split standing on the wings of two satellites orbiting the Earth. Can you go more epic than this?

Do and don& 'T in Thailand?
without you even realizing. Thais know that foreign visitors have their own customs and different ways. of doing things, but if you are aware of some of the do's and don'ts you will earn respect from your Thai hosts. Most importantly of all, be particularly careful about respecting Buddhism and the Thai Royal Family.Thailand Do' and Don'ts - International Studies Center International Studies Center
Do's and Don'ts in Thailand
The monarchy:
Thai people have a deep traditional reverence for the Royal Family, and a visitor should be careful to show respect for the King, te Queen and the Royal family.
Visitors should dress neatly in all religious shrines. They should never go topless, or in shorts, hot pants or other unsuitable attire. It is acceptable to wear shoes when walking around the compound of the Buddhist image is kept.
Every Buddha image, large or small ruined or not, s regarded as a sacred object. Never climbs onto to take photograph or do anything that might indicate a lack of respect. Buddhist monks are forbidden to touch or be touched by women, or to accept anything from the hand of one. If a woman has to give anything to a monk, she first hand it to man, who then presents it, or puts t down and allows the monk to pick it up.
Social Norms: Thais don't normally shark hands when they greet one another, but instead press the palms together in a prayer-like gesture called a "Wai", Generally, a Younger person wais elder, who returns it, it is however far more complex than this and for tourists a simple smile is acceptable when someone wais you.
Thais regard the head as the highest part of the body, literally and figuratively. Therefore, avoid touching people on the head and try not to point your feet at people or an object. It is considered very rude. Shoes should be removed when entering a private Thai home. Public displays of affection between men and women are frowned upon.
Special Advice: Beware of unauthorized people who offer their services as quid. For all tourist information, contact the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Tel: 1672, for information about Bangkok, contact the Bangkok metropolitan Tourist Bureau, Tel: 0 2225 7612-4.
Observe all normal precautions as regards to personal safety as well as the safety of your belongings, walking alone on quiet streets or deserted areas is not recommended. Be sure that all your valuables-money, jewelry, and airline tickets are properly protected from loss. Visitors needing assistance relating to safety, unethical practices or other matters, please call the Tourist Police at Tel: 1155.
Drop your garbage into a waste container; The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is now strictly enforcing the law in an effort to keep the city clean and healthy. The fine will be imposed on a person who spits, discards cigarette stubs, or drops rubbish in public areas.
Do not yourself involved with drugs. Penalties for drug offences are very severe in Thailand.
Do not support any manner of wild animal abuse. Never purchase any products or souvenirs made from wild animals including reptiles like snakes, monitor lizards, and also turtle hell and ivory. Avoid patronizing local restaurants that serve wild animal delicacies. It is against the law to slaughter wildlife for food in Thailand.

February's average temperature in Baltimore was below the long-term average, just the second time that has occurred here in two years. It was even colder, on average, than January, and the coldest of what was a relatively mild meteorological winter.
The average temperature at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport was 35 degrees, 0.8 degrees below normal. A stretch of months with average temperatures at or above the long term average began in February 2011 and wasn't broken until November.
The average for February 2013 was almost two degrees colder than the month before, whereas January is typically the coldest month of the year in Baltimore.
The winter months from December through February averaged 38.2 degrees, which ranks No. 29 among the mildest winters here dating back to 1871.
Though it was milder than average, it was a far cry from winter 2011-2012, which averaged nearly 41 degrees at BWI. This winter included some of the coldest days in years, with a span of four days that did not rise above freezing and posted lows colder than 20 degrees. On balance, there were also several unusually mild days, including 70-degree days Dec. 3-4 and Jan. 30.
While spring could start out with typical temperatures from the 30s to the 50s, another mild spring could be in store, according to the Climate Prediction Center. The center is forecasting equal chances of above- and below-normal temperatures in March, but likely above-average warmth for April and May.

Last year we spotted that AMD was in the market to hire a new lead product manager for a 'workstation division'.

However, it should be noted that these processors will only be available as part of pre-built systems, and no corresponding consumer motherboards will be made available.

Waldenbooks (aka, Borders Express)
Are you kidding? What about… oh, wait—there aren't any other unused bookstores. I mean, on principle, there's Old Lahaina Book Emporium, Friends of The Library in Kahului and Paperbacks Plus in Wailuku. But they're all used bookstores so I guess you're off the hook for voting for another big box store. Oh, well. Actually, Waldenbooks, Borders, Borders Express and Brentano's bookstores are all part of Borders Group Inc. As of recently in Hawaii, all Waldenbooks are now doing business as Borders Express, which means they are really the same store as before but now also carry a few CDs and DVDs. How convenient. I suppose they sell coffee, too? Oh, shut up. 2435 Kaanapali Prkwy, 661-8672; Lahaina Cannery Mall, 667-6172; Queen Ka'ahumanu Cntr, 871-6112; 291 Piikea Ave., Suite 122, Kihei, 875-6607. [SC]

Pastoral and Wellbeing
Hello, my name is Sam Flaherty (St. Anne's Catholic Primary School's Wellbeing & Welfare Manager). My role is to provide support and information to pupils across the school from EYFS to Y6, parents and carers. I liaise with school staff, always in the best interest of the children. I address any concerns raised by parents/carers, pupils and teachers, as agreed by the Headteacher, focusing on early intervention so that little problems don't become big ones.
I work to encourage parental involvement within school and hope to empower parents to take an active role in their child's social, emotional and educational development. I can help to overcome barriers to your children's learning by ensuring there is effective dialogue between parents and teachers with regard to your child's progress.
As part of the SEND and Pastoral Team I work closely with outside agencies to support you and your child by offering a confidential service to families at times when there may be changes in their lives or extra support is required. I am here to listen and care in a non-judgemental way. I have access to an extensive range of information, which means I am able to signpost parents to a variety of services who may be able to help.
Having worked at St. Anne's for a number of years I am able to bring plenty of experience to my role. My aim is to build strong relationships with you so that every child in our school is happy, thriving and fulfilling their potential.
I'm available Monday – Thursday between 8.30am – 3.30pm by appointment, although of course if you are in need of a chat please feel free to pop in and see if I am able to meet with you.
Please listen to our podcast and find out what our children think about casa

Hypercube, Hyperpyramid, and ctwa 10
Hypercube made its public debut as a three-piece at Hurley's tonight to a typically tiny coffee house audience, and it was way fun!
Hypercube at Hurley's:
• So Unlikely
• Molly
• Penelope / Liquid Gravity
After Parts Unknown played (and did a fine job), since there was nobody else scheduled, Eric and I (Joel had left) named ourselves Hyperpyramid and made our own little psychedelic nerd jam! I thought it was a cool little jam, and we had fun. The few people who were there did not all get up and leave.
I played two sets of Nodal Nim on CTWA tonight. I thought they were somewhat above average for me. Scott was here and colored!

text: A category of mortgages which have a risk potential that is greater than prime but less than subprime. The interest rate offered on these mortgages is usually between the prime and subprime levels. The reason for the increased risk is usually not the borrower's credit history, but rather something specific about the mortgage.

Zink's first product is a small pocket printer that is about the size of a deck of cards and is priced to sell for less than $100.
The printer will easily connect to a mobile phone or a computer to print out fun little prints that you and your friends can throw up on the fridge. Little details are available on a release date, but this could really bring Polaroid (Zink's parent company) back into the limelight.

What you need:
Strawberry Milkshake Mix
Strawberry Ice-cream
Candy Floss
Rainbow Drops
Rainbow Sprinkles
Fizzer Style Sweets (Like Parma Violets)
1 large Glazed donut
Pink Mini Donuts
Rainbow Rock on a stick
Start by making your strawberry ice cream milkshake, the amounts you need will depend on how thick you like your milkshake, I started with 3 scoops of ice cream and 6 oz of milk and whizz it in a blender add more milk if you need too, once you get your desired thickness add a scoop or 2 of milkshake powder and give it one last whizz before pouring into your mason jar glass.
Top the glass with the large glazed donut and push one straw through one side and the rainbow rock through the other side, top the donut with a good pile of candy floss, our pile would have been bigger but a certain little lady (...Elsie) decided to munch on it whilst I wasn't looking! and then complete the freak shake by piling the mini donuts onto the straw, use your fingers to top the candy floss with fizzers, sprinkles and rainbow drops. Add a couple of straws and your freak shake is ready to enjoy!

This article was originally published in the Arthur Newspaper.
By Calvin Beauchesne
Trent University is consistently ranked as a leader for its environmental commitment in university reports by several media sources, from Maclean's Magazine to the Globe and Mail.
In addition to our LEED standard buildings, our rooftop garden, and our Fair Trade certified cuisine, Trent also has a reputation for having one of the best Environmental Studies/Sciences programs in the country.
This is a great achievement and it is definitely something we should all be proud of. However, we still have a long way to go when it comes to environmental sustainability.
That is why groups like Sustainable Trent exist. Sustainable Trent is a student organization that advocates and takes action for sustainability and environmental justice on campus, in the Nogojiwanong (Peterborough) community, and beyond.
We pressure the Trent administration to make systemic changes within the school, as well as encourage and give opportunities to students to make environmentally responsible choices in their everyday life.
Our work is rooted in anti-capitalism, anti-colonialism, anti-racism, and anti-globalization. We also stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples' struggles for justice, land, and rights, and support these efforts where we can.
Sustainable Trent is currently working on four campaigns: fossil fuel divestment, food justice, "NO Parkway!" and Lug-a-Mug.
Sustainable Trent has been actively campaigning for the school administration to withdraw its financial investments in the fossil fuel industry (ie. the school's endowment, pension fund) and to instead reinvest that money in sustainable alternatives like renewable energy.
The Board of Governors has begun looking into the issue in depth and is set to make a decision regarding divestment in early 2015.
As a group, we support an in-house, student-run food service system that is locally sourced, sustainable, and not-for-profit, with sufficient options for vegetarian/vegan/culturally appropriate meals. This is in contrast to the corporate monopoly held by the food service provider Chartwells (and previously Aramark) at our school.
Sustainable Trent supports initiatives like the Seasoned Spoon, the Ceilie and the Planet North, and we hope the entire food system on campus can model itself after these existing restaurants.
We also support efforts to expand on the work of the Trent Vegetable Gardens and create a sustainable farm on campus that would provide local organic food for students.
Sustainable Trent is against the City's plans to pave over a long strip of greenspace known as the Parkway corridor and build a 4-lane bridge through Jackson Park, a beautiful wild greenspace located near downtown Nogojiwanong.
The bridge would effectively ruin the best urban park in the City, and we believe traffic problems would be better dealt with by investing in public transportation and cycling/pedestrian infrastructure.
Years ago Sustainable Trent created a program called Lug-a-Mug to encourage people to bring reusable mugs with them when they purchase their morning coffee on campus in an effort to limit the amount of waste from Trent going into our landfills.
Some of our members have taken it upon themselves to give coupons purchased by Sustainable Trent to students they see with a reusable mug for a free coffee, hot chocolate, or tea at any cafeteria on campus, or at the Seasoned Spoon or Planet North (only valid if you bring your reusable mug of course).
As an organization that is completely volunteer-run, we are always looking for new members who are passionate about making a difference and willing to take the time to help out with our work.
As a group we strive to be as inclusive as possible, and welcome people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, experience levels, ages, abilities, sexual orientations, and genders.
If none of our current campaigns interest you, we always welcome ideas for possible new campaigns.
We operate in a way that is non-hierarchical by practicing consensus-based decision-making. That is, we try to give everyone equal speaking time and we make decisions by taking into account everyone's opinions, opposed to the majority rules concept.
We do have positions such as Logistics Coordinator and Financial Coordinator to make things run more smoothly, but we reject any bureaucratic terms such as 'President' or 'Leader'.
As a levy group, we are fortunate enough to be able to provide funding for the expenses of our campaigns, as well as for events and funding requests from other groups at Trent and Nogojiwanong that support our mandate.
Some things we've chosen to fund in 2013-2014 were: a series of workshops put on by the Seasoned Spoon throughout the year, the Peterborough Greenspace Coalition to help out with their NO Parkway! campaign, and transportation to and from Halifax for Trent students to attend PowerShift Atlantic; an environmental/social justice activist conference.
If you want to see change on campus, want to meet like-minded people, or just want to get involved with a group, we'd love to have you on board!
Please contact us at email@example.com if you are interested in being involved.
In the meantime, visit our website at sustainabletrent.org to read more about us, keep up with our campaigns on Facebook at facebook.com/sustainabletrent, and follow us on Twitter @green_trentu.

Core module comes with integrated temperature sensor TMP112. It is high accuracy and low power sensor connected via I2C bus (see address space). If you want to take a look how TMP112 is connected, please take a look at schematic.
As always... ... all available SDK functions for temperature sensor can be found here.
TMP112 is instantiated
when measurement happens, event handler can be triggered
last measured temperature can be retrieved anytime
SDK provides functions to get temperature in:
raw format (
Celsius degrees (
Fahrenheit degrees (
kelvin (
Manual - we can make manual measurement whenever we want to. This is achieved by calling the
bc_tmp112_measure(bc_tmp112_t *self) function from SDK.
With Scheduler, repeatedly - thanks to the Scheduler you can define, when the periodic measurement should happen. For this, we have the
bc_tmp112_set_update_interval(bc_tmp112_t *self, bc_tick_t interval)function.
*self is an address to an TMP112 instance
interval is number of milliseconds, defining time between measurements
BC_TMP112_EVENT_ERROR - an error occurred during a measurement
BC_TMP112_EVENT_UPDATE - a measurement was completed successfully
In this example we make measurement every 5 seconds and send data over USB in format:
Place code below in application.c file and flash. Use of application.h file is not required here.
Please note that in this particular example, the microcontroller never goes to sleep, even though the Scheduler is properly used for measurements - this is caused by USB communication running all the time. This cause the chip to heat up a bit which may affect temperature measurements. Therefore using Temperature tag is recommended for these situations.
#include <bcl.h>#include <bc_usb_cdc.h>bc_tmp112_t temp;void tmp112_event_handler(bc_tmp112_t *self, bc_tmp112_event_t event, void *event_param){(void) self;(void) event_param;if (event == BC_TMP112_EVENT_UPDATE){float temperature = 0.0;int16_t rawTemperature = 0;bc_tmp112_get_temperature_celsius(&temp, &temperature);bc_tmp112_get_temperature_raw(&temp, &rawTemperature);char buffer[30];sprintf(buffer, "%.4f °C\r\n%d\r\n", temperature, rawTemperature);bc_usb_cdc_write(buffer, strlen(buffer));}}void application_init(void){// initialize USB communicationbc_usb_cdc_init();// initialize TMP112 sensorbc_tmp112_init(&temp, BC_I2C_I2C0, 0x49);// set measurement handler (call "tmp112_event_handler()" after measurement)bc_tmp112_set_event_handler(&temp, tmp112_event_handler, NULL);// automatically measure the temperature every 5 secondsbc_tmp112_set_update_interval(&temp, 5000);}

Limited Edition Catherine Copies Come With Boxers, Pizza Boxes
May 2, 2011 2:00 PM | Eric Caoili
Rarely one to scrimp when it comes to offering preorder bonuses with its games, Atlus has revealed a truly unique set of items that wil be bundled with limited edition copies of Catherine when the action-adventure game releases for PS3/Xbox 360 on July 26.
The Catherine "Love is Over" Deluxe edition will include a copy of the game (of course), polka dot boxers identical to the pair Vincent wears during the protagonist's nightmares, and a real-life version of Vincent's "Empty Hearts" t-shirt that the game's titular love interest wears.
It will also come packed with a "collectible pizza box" from the Stray Sheep bar featured in the game, and a Catherine pillow case meant to serve as "a nod to the pillow tucked under Vincent's arm as he frantically races to escape the terrors that pursue him."
Atlus intends to only create enough Catherine "Love is Over" Deluxe Edition copies to meet preorder demands, so if this is something you want to own and would not be embarassed to have in your life, put in your reservation!

I promised I wouldn't publish these. Although I will never publish faces, I blatantly lied. There are times in a photographer's life that he takes a retrospective stroll and decides that there was too much unedited material – too much left unsaid. Now that I've retracted my oath, I have to admit there is too much I've left unsaid, so much I've never told anyone about my work. There are pictures people have never seen. Everyday, until the day the Internets or yours truly vanishes from existence, I pledge to find a tidbit, whether new or old, for that I have left unaccounted. I will share them here with you.
Here is a excerpt from the summer of 2007. A painful, yet unique tattoo.
