I'm sure it works better in light wind since LF evolved from Strutless to SOLOLaughingman wrote:I can tell you this, the Solo will fly in very low wind, I would say 3 - 5 knots. Seems like that would be useful for foiling?
People surprised because LF was talking about a strut less kite, but since that they pulled the plug,
after all that R&D.
Which didn't work out and they couldn't satisfy the technical and practical demand of kiteboarding.
Not only Julien Fillion recognized, but Dimitri also the canopy needs some support for range and efficiency

Moments before Game 4 of the Grizzlies-Oklahoma City playoff series tipped off at FedExForum Monday night, Tony Allen, Mike Conley and Marc Gasol stood at midcourt to be recognized for making the NBA's All-Defensive teams (Allen first-team, Gasol and Conley second-team).
It was a nice honor. But then the game started. And the Thunder, to quote Memphis coach Lionel Hollins, "came out firing" and ran out to a 17-point lead. Even at the half, though the Grizzlies had cut the Thunder's lead to 8 points, OKC was shooting a sizzling 53.8 percent from the field.
All-defense? More like no defense.
But over time – 48 minutes of regulation and 5 minutes of overtime – the Grizzlies played like the team that earned three All-Defensive team selections. In the fourth quarter and overtime they held the scoring machine that is Kevin Durant to 5 points on 2-of-13 shooting and walked away with a 103-97 victory and a 3-1 lead in this best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series.
"We knew that first half wasn't our best style of basketball," Allen said in a rather large understatement.
"We play together, trust each other," Gasol said when asked about their defensive stand after halftime. "That's the only way we know how to do it and I love it."
The score was tied 92-92 with under a minute left in the fourth quarter when Zach Randolph and Gasol each split a pair of free throws to leave the Grizzlies with a 94-92 lead with 10.9 seconds to play. The Thunder called a timeout and then did what everyone in the building knew they would do: give the ball to Durant, who drove the lane and finger-rolled in a shot to tie the score at 94-94 with 6.4 seconds left.
Randolph then tried to force a shot over Kendrick Perkins and Perkins blocked it to send the game into overtime. Two years ago in Game 4, the Thunder tied the series with Memphis by winning a triple-overtime game in the Western semifinals. But this time, the Grizzlies outscored the Thunder 9-3 in the extra period and shut out Durant, who still finished with a game-high 27 points.
"We can't stop him from getting his numbers," Allen said. "The best thing we can do is keep a fresh body on him, rotate guys and have our bigs help as much as possible."
Durant played 48 minutes and finished 10-for-27 from the field, 5-of-7 from 3-point range, with 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 turnovers. He rejected the notion that the minutes were wearing him down, saying "It is midnight and my bedtime is usually 12 o'clock. It's past my bedtime. Other than that, I'm good."
"He is our horse," said the Thunder's Kevin Martin, who had 18 points off the bench. "We are going to keep feeding him."
The Grizz fed Gasol and Randolph – 23 points each – and Conley led the way with 24, including hitting 4-of-10 from 3-point range. But Gasol hit perhaps the biggest shot of the game when he beat the shot clock with a 15-footer with 22.8 seconds left in overtime to give Memphis a 100-97 lead.
Although no one from the Grizzlies' bench reached double-figures and OKC's reserves outscored them 31-15, guard Jerryd Bayless contributed mightily by hitting a pair of 3-pointers in the Grizzlies' 30-point second quarter.
"J.B. got us going in the first half," Hollins said. "He closed the gap for us after we got down 17."
The Grizzlies' mind-set when down 17?
"Chip away," Randolph said.
"We scratch," Hollins said. "We claw."
And so what easily could have been an OKC blowout and an even series now goes back to the Thunder's home court Wednesday night for Game 5, the Grizzlies but one game away from reaching their first-ever conference finals.
More scratching and clawing is to be expected.
"We know what we have to do," Randolph said. "It's not over yet."

He was in court due to a misdemeanor charge for avoiding arrest after a confrontation with a police officer. In recent years, he has been charged twice for marijuana possession.

Also, the handlebar mount isn't the snuggest fit, which is annoying for bikes. The actual camera mount is a bit loose, so you get some rattle, and the bar side seems to be designed for something bigger than a handlebar, so hard to get it stay in one place, no matter how tight the strap is. I found that putting the bar mount on the frame instead of the bars works much, much better. A better option would probably be to get a better mount that just uses the standard tripod screw mount, but I haven't tried that yet.
Here's a picture of how I have mine mounted, much better fit. Also, the extra bit of strap was a good job of pushing against the camera when it's mounted, to keep it from rattling. You can also just see the lanyard that I have attached to the brake cable on the other side of the frame. Means that if the mount completely breaks, the lanyard will save the camera. Very happy that Contour includes the lanyard in the box.

Hah yeah, that was a bit of the issue, thought i had it level and checked with the laser before the ride, but checked after the ride and the camera was slightly rotated from level.. so when the mount shook down during the ride and i realigned it by just seeing if the camera looked level, the lens was actually rotated off level. Now i rotated that i can fix it by eye when it shakes down.JBark wrote:Have you tried rotating the lens on the camera to fix the angle issue?

Also just noticed the 720p video and 1080p have almost the same bitrate, both 30fps... that doesnt seem right, the 1080p should have a much higher bitrate. (and hence filesize, which it didnt. only sample size of one though, might be an anomoly)

Well it's arrived and I've had a play with it. But not on the bike yet unfortunately with this showtime Sydney weather of late.
Used it as a dash cam driving to work. And even when raining at dusk the vision was a pretty decent.
Will just need to work on a waterproof, anti vibe bike month soon.
But best thing I got to go with one this was an Usb OTG cable for my phone.
Now I can watch footage and reprogram the 808 while out and about

Man the weekends go by so fast! Then it's back to work…I need a vacation.
One more week and I will be in San Francisco! I hope I have time to do a little shopping! So since i've been a bit sick, I bought a cow humidifier to ease the dryness in my place and help me sleep better, isn't it cute? The BF thinks it's another item to run our electricity bill, haha oh well!
So a few months ago when I bought my Shu Eyelash Curler, I first saw their detailed eyelash curler which is seriously a small baby eyelash curler that gets in the hard-to-reach spots that a regular eyelash curler doesn't get, such as the outer lashes for a more "winged effect". I actually was this close to buying it at the time, but my heart didn't want to spend $16-$17 for that! Then the other day I went into K-Mart and found a VERY GOOD dupe of the Shu detailed mini eyelash curler, by LaCross (the same brand that makes nail clippers, tweezers, etc), and I grabbed the LAST one! Guess how much it was, come on guess! Ok, ok, it was a whopping $2.99! I know not even $5!
So here is the Shu Uemura mini detailed eyelash curler, I couldn't find a good picture of it online, because here it's at an angle where it looks like a normal eyelash curler, but it actually looks smaller in size, like half of a normal eyelash curler…
Here is what the Shu one really looks like, this one is the LaCross one but they look identical.
Compared to a normal-sized eyelash curler:
My take? I like it, especially for $2.99 I don't feel so bad even if I didn't like it, LOL. But on days I want to be somewhat au naturale, this is good for perking up your peepers and making them look more wide and awake. It's great for concentrating on the outer lashes and giving that little flare or a wing.
Side note: I love the Shiseido Eyelash Curler I bought from Sasa.com a few weeks ago, it's really great and another alternative to the Shu eyelash curler, and I bought it on Sasa.com for $10. There is no difference between the two so much (at least in my opinion), although I noticed less pinching with the Shiseido one, but then again I didn't really use eyelash curlers before so it could be from "user error".

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... History and Old Stuff...
Kentucky is famous for its liquor. There's the legal stuff like Jack Daniels and there's the illegal stuff like the moonshine that came out of the Golden Pond area between the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, particularly during prohibition days. You can read all about it and even see a moonshine still at the Golden Pond Visitors Center at Land Between the Lakes.
I have heard some stories about the homemade corn liquor that flowed in this part of Christian County, back when the old folks were young -- the 1930's, 40's, and 50's.
Before there were good roads to town, folks gathered on Saturday night at the little local store to dance to the music of the jukebox. One fellow told me that if you had a car you drove, and if you didn't have a car, you rode a mule, and if you didn't have a mule, you walked, but somehow you got to the store on Saturday night because you just had to! You couldn't miss the fun. And it is said that there were always jars of moonshine to pass around out behind the store.
I think I may have found a place in the woods near our house where some of that homemade liquor was produced. I can't imagine any other reason why several dozen gallon jugs would be scattered around a small area back in the woods on a hillside a quarter mile from the nearest road.
It's a secluded spot. It could be reached easily from the pasture above, but no one lived nearby and any firelight certainly would have been hidden from the road by the woods.
Most of the jugs are brown, like the one in the photo at left, but a few are made of clear glass. Some have sunk partway into the ground, and others are still lying on top of the forest floor -- perhaps because they've been picked up many times through the years by curious people like me?
A number of the jugs have broken, probably because of water freezing in them, and their jagged tops could inflict terrible wounds to any living thing that stepped on them. I turned over all the broken ones that I saw so that their sharp edges face down to the earth.
If there was a still there in the woods where the jugs are, I know who must have been running (or at least condoning) it, and it doesn't surprise me a bit. Do any of my readers know anything about bottles? Do these look like 1960's glass? (That's my estimate of the time period.)
For that matter, someone is probably still running a still around here. That wouldn't surprise me a bit either. After all, this is Kentucky.

|Rockford Punch Overload PS300-12
|Page 2
|All Pages
Many car audio enthusiasts and installers are intimidated by the variables involved in designing a truly good performing subwoofer system for a car. And truth be told, it does take a good deal of experience, knowledge, and technical ability. Or, you can leave all that to the pros, and simply by a plug and play subwoofer system, where all the guesswork has been done for you. And that's precisely what the folks at Rockford Fosgate have done with their PS300-12 "Punch Overload" Powered Subwoofer System. I recently had a chance to test one of these solution driven products in the lab, and I came away quite impressed.
Design and Features
The Rockford Fosgate Punch Overload PS300-12 is a thoughtfully designed product, obviously from the minds of engineers who have some experience with automotive subwoofer systems. The product can be mounted in a variety of positions, and it's designed to be easy to remove as well, with quick disconnect type connections for power and signal. And if you have ever had a woofer accidentally damaged because you were too cheap to buy a grille for it, you'll be happy to learn that the PS300-12 woofer is always protected from errant golf clubs, ski poles or hockey sticks by a "loading plate" that covers the entire woofer, and lets the sound exit around the enclosures perimeter. The self powered subwoofer system consists of a nice looking, and fairly small rectangular shaped enclosure, measuring 15-1/4" x 11-1/4" x 22-3/8", and houses a special 2 ohm 12-inch Punch woofer and amplifier. The Rockford logos are designed into the top plate and bottom panel, making one or the other visible regardless of how you mount it. The system comes with all the brackets and hardware you need to get it securely fastened down, which is critical for safety.
The Punch amplifier is integrated into the end panel, and even its connections and controls have been simplified. There is a single plug for the power, ground, and remote trigger, then a pair of RCA's or high level signal Molex inputs, an optional remote level control, and a gain knob. And that's it. All of the crossover filter and subsonic filter settings are preset for you.
Of course the first thing I did when I unpacked the Overload system was take it apart. By unscrewing four large capscrews, I removed the top "loading plate" that is used in lieu of a grille, and then I removed the woofer. The enclosure itself has an internal volume of just over 1 cubic foot, and is manufactured from a material called "acrylonitrile butadiene styrene" or more commonly known as ABS. The interior of the enclosure is ribbed for both structural integrity as well as resonance reduction. To further reduce the possibility of cabinet resonances, the interior panels of the enclosure are covered with a high mass mat-type material that prevents resonances. On the "floor" of the enclosure is a slot type vent, which I tested to find that it "tunes" the air in the enclosure to resonate at 40Hz. The amplifiers mounting area is sealed off from the inside of the enclosure, and the amplifiers heatsink is mounted externally.
The woofer is a design that is proprietary to the Overload system, using fairly non-traditional parts when compared to a typical Punch woofer. The most obvious difference is the 12" driver uses a paper cone and dust cap instead of the more common, (and some would say less natural sounding) poly cones. Because the woofer isn't really meant to be seen, the cosmetic treatment is fairly limited, which is fine. A stamped steel basket supports the large motor assembly, and the build quality of the woofer is excellent, as one expects from a Rockford Fosgate woofer.
There are other differences from a typical Punch woofer as well, such as the non-vented backplate, and basic push on spade type terminals. But where it counts, the woofer of the PS300-12 system is all business, with a 2.5" voice coil wound on a black anodized aluminum former, a double stacked magnet structure, and tinsel leads that are stitched to the spider for greater reliability.
The amplifier section of the Overload system is rated at 300 watts into 2 ohms. The amp is a Class AB design, and is also a proprietary design specific to this application. As I was later to learn, the frequency response of the amp was designed specifically to work with the supplied woofer, in this specific cabinet. The amp uses a removable power connecting plug that accepts 8ga wire, and the RCA connectors are heavy duty looking panel mount types. Other than a gain control knob, there are no adjustments to be made, but you can purchase the optional PEQ remote control if you like to adjust things as you cruise.

STANFORD, Calif., Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Studies show playing violent video games is linked to aggressive behavior, but U.S. researchers say games could be designed for people to be more empathetic.
Jeremy Bailenson, an associate professor of communication, Robin Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist and author, and communication student Shawnee Baughman, all of Stanford University, developed a game in which people could subconsciously identify as a "do-gooder" with a superpower in virtual reality.
"We thought about giving them X-ray vision, but that was a little creepy," Bailenson, director of the Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction Laboratory, said in a statement. "We considered the ability to breathe underwater, but that didn't seem like much of a superpower. In the end, flying like Superman easily registered."
One at a time, 30 men and 30 women entered the simulator and strapped on a set of goggles that transported them into a digital cityscape. A voice explained their mission: A diabetic child is stranded somewhere in the city, and you must find him and deliver an insulin injection.
The participants controlled flight either as Superman, or as a passenger in a helicopter.
The experiment was set so that two minutes into the simulation, no matter what mode of transport, the subject found the sick child.
After removing the virtual reality goggles, the experimenter would "accidentally" knock over a cup filled with 15 pens.
The superhero group not only pitched in first, they also picked up about 15 percent more pens on average. While everyone who flew like Superman picked up some pens, six participants who rode in the helicopter failed to offer any help at all.
The pen experiment is a standard test for gauging empathy and the heroic behavior in a virtual environment could transfer to altruistic behavior to the real world, Bailenson said.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Simplybibi from Gorgeous! Once I saw this...I just knew I had to get it. I love a lot of the maxis I get from Bebe. The only downfall is that I have to get them hemmed, but it's usually worth it for my 5'2 height. There was only XXS left online so I took a chance (I'm 130lbs). It fits awesome! Such a flattering look, and really is just so beautiful! I can pull it off with a short heel too so I may not hem it!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bruins4Eva from Not that long! I am 5'4-5'5, 130 lbs , 33-26-36 and ordered the XXS. It fits OK, I would prefer if it was tighter around the waist. It is really not long as other reviewers said. I guess it depends on the size but the XXS is the right length for me and even a bit shorter than I would like. I wore it with ballet flats and most of my shoes were showing under the dress. It is a nice dress but I have had better ones from BEBE. It should be way cheaper in my opinion. P.S. Try jumping while wearing it ;)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nads from Lovely lines I am not a reviewer. But this dress fit soooOOOOooo beautifully I had to say something. I am 5ft 8 inches with big bones, so I am not considered small, and it fit exactly as I hoped it would. Thank you for a nice addition to my wardrobe!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kweed521 from Needs a hem BUT LOVE!!! Love this dress!!! The only issue was that it was too long. I'm 5'5" and had 4 inch heels on and it was still too long. Like the other girls said..it's way too long so I had it hemmed. I received so many compliments and it feels comfortable too. The material is a little heavy for a summer day but perfect for a summer night!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bunnie from Perfect summer dress This is one of those dresses that you have to try on. I instantly fell in love with it and had to have it. It might be a little long to most however. I am 5 7 and with sandals it scrapes the floor a bit. It also is a bit heavy because of all the material so you have to make sure the bust is tight enough so you don't have to continuously pull your dress up. Despite all that, the dress fits like a glove and is perfect for the summer. I am 5 7 and 120 lbs and got an XS.
Date published: 2013-06-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shalana from Love this dress! Fits perfectly! The fit in chest area and length is perfect for my body type . What impresses most is the length of this dress. It is hard to find a long dress for tall women, that is actually long enough. Rock on bebe!

The 2 bike carrier sits just far enough out from the receiver that I can open the barn-style rear door of my Roadtrek built on the Chevy Express frame(without bikes mounted)with the rack still in the upright position. Also just clears the left side rear-mounted spare tire carrier. With bikes mounted the bike rack still allows the rear door to open when in the tilted forward position. When towing camper trailer the rack is moved to the rear (reinforced) bumper of our camper quickly and easily. Very happy with the fit,finish and engineering of this solid,good-looking product.Worth the extra $

Maybe I'm stupid, but that pie chart in the middle makes no sense to me. Somehow blue means 1 million computer users (?) and the green means computers per capita then what is the result of the pie chart? Are there 5 million computers in Ghana> That doesn't sound too bad… All in all a pretty shitty infograph and a cheap attempt at driving up website traffic, if I may say so myself (I may).
Hi Zack,
You're not stupid, we should have just been clearer. Each circle represents 1 million people, not just the blue area. So for Ghana out of every 1 million people only 50 thousand have personal computers and so on.
We appreciate your honest and feedback though and always like getting direction on our posts. As for this being cheap, next to the video blog posts, these are our second most expensive posts we do and we actually put alot of time and thought into them so you have hurt my feelings ;)

You should be a little more specific because you can upgrade the inside of your computer part by part to follow the increasing power of technology. The replacement span of parts would depend on what you use the computer for and how often the computer is run. People who just browse web every once in a while could keep a computer much longer than a graphics designer or gamer. The latter people run it more often so the part's lives drain as they're used, but also demand higher quality parts as they are released so that they have better graphics and smoother processing for graphic intensive games and designing. Also, I've had a computer for 8+ years and it still "works", it doesn't just up and die. Pretty much all you have to do is keep it dusted out and the parts should run fine for a long time. Even if you don't keep up with upgrading the computer you can still play games, just not the newer ones. You can also continue to browse the web just fine. Dusting computers is the BIGGEST problem for computers as it leads to overheating, possibly even fire! Anti-virus IS important too, but if a nasty bug starts taking over I normally just reinstall the operating system and it's brand new again… You aren't specific about the "working" life of a computer. My old computer still works. Also, you shouldn't update drivers regularly. You should actually only update drivers if something fails and needs it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. For an infographic it seems to be missing more important and less commonly known info. Saying to upgrade your computer within 3-5 years seems like a waste of people just tossing that "junky old computer" in the electronic dump or maybe even into the dump it shouldn't be in. If a person owns a computer and they don't know how to properly upgrade its parts and dust it out, they shouldn't even own a computer. There's so many inexperienced computer owners out there that don't even know how to enter BIOS. These people should just stick to tablets and smart phones because they're just gonna toss the last electronic away for a whole new setup, they might as well be tossing away smaller ones than a whole case full of parts that could be used in one way or another.
Replacing the archaic Microsoft OSes on about 500+ computers annually, in Florida, I find most are of 1998 to 2008 vintage.
Installing LinuxMint(.com) speeds them up, adds any of 33,636 FREE apps., games, suites.
All are FREE to users, because they were funded and developed by the Fortune 500 corporations, some 2,000 major universities and colleges, and governments in 170 nations.
Parallel processing Linux is immune to the 50 million Microsoft Virus!
I have witnessed kids of 3-4 using it, so, it is easy, simple, and FUN!!!
Seems some of the information is outdated. For example, with Windows 7 you no longer need to defragment your hard drive, it is done automatically. Might be the same with Windows Vista too. And with the new Solid State Drives out it will actually mess up the drive. The trim() command is what you use on those. I would also suggest to update and run antivirus/antispyware daily.
Hi Jordan,
Thanks for your comments!
It's untrue that Windows 7 defragments automatically out of the box; it must be set up in Disk Defragmenter like any other version of Windows. However, this is rumored to be a part of Windows 8. Also, you are correct that defragmenting is a waste of time if you've got a solid state drive.
While you can run antivirus every evening, if you leave your PC on, a virus shield application and a once a week scan is usually enough. Of course, running a new scan if you're unsure about something you downloaded is also wise.
Keep reading the blog!
Ever since I installed Ubuntu 11.10 i have had no viruses at all, few pop-ups,no unsolicieted junk, and even better luck with my email. how come? Am I just going through a 'lucky spell" or is it due to the Ubuntu? I also have, dual booter Windows 7 and it is so buggy now as to harxdly work, loads my hard drive and slows down more ecvery day. I am very happy with the Ubuntu progtrams, foreign to men at first but well worth the short learning curve. How can Ubuntu survive without charging? Will I get an unexpected bill in the mail? I hope nt! I love the Ubuntu system and would gladly pay for it after trying it or make a donation.The free science and educational software is the very best.Makre me wonder why Windows 7 survives.
Hi Uncle,
Probably the biggest reason why Windows 7 has survived this long is software. OpenOffice can only do so much compared to Microsoft Office, especially if you use advanced features. Adobe Photoshop doesn't have a Linux version. And so on. That's all changing with the development of web apps, so platform is becoming more independent as time goes on. But we're not there yet.

"We do a lot internally to help our technicians understand that they are a very important spoke in the wheel of our company." -Jim Boyd, manager of fleet technical services, Southeastern Freight Lines
I interviewed Jim Boyd yesterday for a story you'll see in this space pretty soon here. But his quote above really struck me as it summed up (to my mind, anyway) how important it truly is to make sure heavy-duty truck technicians - like drivers - understand how important their job is within the trucking world of today.
That's the sort of the reasoning behind the slideshow below - to shine the light on a job that gets overlooked, if not just completely taken for granted, in the daily hustle and bustle of the freight word. Enjoy!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 6, 2010) - The ETSU women's basketball team will look to finish its exhibition season out on a positive note when the Lady Bucs host King on Sunday afternoon inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. Tip is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
The Lady Bucs are coming off a 59-51 setback over preseason nationally ranked Tusculum Monday night. ETSU, who shot 23.8 percent (19-80) from the field, were led by seniors Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and Latisha Belcher (Martinsville, Va.) as they each netted a team-leading 12 points. Meanwhile, Belcher notched a double-double by ripping down 10 rebounds. Freshman Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) provided the Blue and Gold with a game-high 12 rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench. As a team, the Lady Bucs out-rebounded the Pioneers, 65-50, while ETSU also swatted eight shots.
King, who is entering its first season as a Division II member, went to the 2010 NCCAA Division I Women's Basketball National Tournament and finished sixth after winning the Mid-East Region championship with an 18-13 record. The Lady Tornado return their leading scorer from a year ago as senior forward Ashley Deans is back for a final season after leading the way with 17.6 points per game.
This marks the second straight year ETSU and King square off in an exhibition finale. The Lady Bucs defeated the Tornado, 96-59, inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center back on Nov. 7, 2009. ETSU mounted a 38-4 run midway throughout the first half and six players reached double figures in scoring. As a team, the Lady Bucs shot 56.1 percent from the floor (37-66) and the Blue and Gold assisted on 19 of their 37 makes.
Fans unable to make the trip to Johnson City can view all the action online courtesy of ASun.TV. In addition, live audio streaming will be available, and for those in the Tri-Cities area, the game will be carried live on WXSM-AM 640 The Sports Monster. Fans will also have access to live stats by clicking the link above.

On August 28th, the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's "I have a Dream" speech, children of Charleston, West Virginia answer Dr. King's call to 'Let Freedom Ring' --- one of more than 300 events held that day across the U.S. and in other countries.
Atlanta . . . In addition to two massive marches and rallies held in Washington, D.C. commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington and Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, more than 300 groups across the nation and around the world held programs featuring symbolic bell-ringing at 3:00 p.m. (EST) on August 28th in response to Dr. King's challenge to "Let Freedom Ring…in every village and hamlet."
"The response to our call for bell-ringing programs marking the 50th anniversary has been wonderful beyond our hopes," said King Center CEO Bernice A. King. "We were hoping for more than 100 programs. But we were notified of more than 300 bell-ringing events, and it's likely that many more were held which didn't register. The bell-ringing programs brought diverse people together all across America and encouraged them to reaffirm their commitment to the dream. We encourage communities everywhere to 'Let Freedom Ring' again on January 20th, the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday."
A number of the events included political leaders, including governors and mayors, while others were as simple as a family ringing bells on the front porch of their home. Many bell-ringing events were captured in YouTube video clips (see list at end of this post).
Responding to Dr. King's challenge to "let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire," the Appalachian Mountain Club's hut crew from Lakes of the Clouds organized a bell-ringing on the summit of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern United States. Elsewhere in the granite state, bell-ringing events were held at 15 sites, including Dover, Isles of Shoals, Amherst, Goffstown, Keene, Madbury, Portsmouth, Plymouth State University, Sanborton and Concord, where Governor Maggie Hassan lead the proceedings.
Heeding Dr. King's call to "let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York," the bells of St. Eustace Episcopal Church of Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountain range pealed in remembrance of Dr. King's great dream.
In "the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania" students and faculty of Allegheny College in Meadville gathered to answer the Dreamer's challenge to "let freedom ring," lead by Dr. Kazi Joshua, director of the college Intercultural office.
To "let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado," a group of junior park rangers affiliated with Rocky Mountain National Park gathered for a bell-ringing event under the direction of Ranger Rich Fedorchack, chief of interpretation and education.
A bell-ringing gathering at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco organized by the American Friends Service Committee responded to Dr. King's call to "let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California."
"But not only that," said Dr. King. "Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain, Georgia." And so, a group led by state Senator Emanuel Jones organized a well-attended bell-ringing event on top of Stone Mountain, Georgia (see here too), once a stronghold of hate groups, now transformed into a "stone of hope," as Mayor Patricia Wheeler of Stone Mountain and other elected officials proudly looked on. Sen. Jones said "It is because of Dr. King's dream that we gather on this summit. Stone Mountain once bore witness to cross-burnings and even hooded celebrations. Today is a new day…Stone Mountain stands as an enduring symbol of Dr. King's dream…We are the dream-keepers."
Elsewhere in Dr. King's home state, bells pealed from Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he, his father and grandfather preached, from Atlanta City Hall atrium, The King Center's Freedom Hall Complex, High Meadows School in Roswell, East Lake Commons in Decatur, Gwinnett College and in Atlanta's Cresco Montessori Schools, where Senior Academic Director Ms. Sadaf Mohiuddin engaged 4-5 year-old students in a comemorative bell-ringing and peace education program.
In keeping with Dr. King's challenge, freedom also rang out on top of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, where Superintendent Cathleen Cook joined with fourth graders from Orchard Knob Elementary to help lead the celebration.
Dr. King concluded his litany with a call to 'let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every mountainside let freedom ring," and the citizens of Jackson, Columbus, Piney Woods and other towns in the magnolia state responded in kind. In Canton, MS nearly 100 people rang bells on the grounds of the historic courthouse Square.
In addition to the nine locations Dr. King specifically mentioned in his speech, bell ringing events were organized in more than 45 states, and the governors of Connecticut, Illinois, New Hampshire, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Utah, West Virginia and others participated in bell-ringing events commemorating Dr. King's speech.
The Philadelphia Martin Luther King, Jr. Association for Nonviolence organized a bell-ringing ceremony at the Liberty Bell. Other famous bells rung in honor of Dr. King's dream included the "Abolition bell" of All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington, D.C.; the Netherlands Carillion in McLean, VA which was a gift of gratitude from the Dutch to the U.S. in recognition for their help in liberating Holland; and Governor Deval Patrick rang the Old South Meeting House Bell cast in 1801 by Paul Revere, at the site where the Boston Tea Party occurred.
In addition to the national bell-ringing at the Lincoln Memorial, bells rang out to mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's dream in many historic sites, such as: Mt. Crazy Horse (a.k.a. Mt. Rushmore) SD; Valley Forge, PA; the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in Hartford, CT; Historic St. John's Church in Richmond, where Patrick Henry delivered his "Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death" speech; the African Burial Ground National Monument in New York City; and many others.
Other bell-ringing events were organized in numerous locations across the nation besides the sites Dr. King mentioned in his "I Have a Dream" speech, including Juneau, AK; Montgomery, AL; Tucson, AZ; Merced, Sacramento, San Diego, Pasadena and Los Angeles, CA; Hamden, Norwalk, Bridgeport; Hartford, Waterbury and New Haven, CT; Orlando, Palm Beach and Jacksonville, FL; Augusta, Columbus, and Fort Benning, GA; Honolulu and Waianae, HI; Chicago and Evanston, IL; Munster, Marion and Winamac, IN; Topeka and Fort Scott, KS; Louisville, KY; Millinocket, ME; Frederick, Baltimore, Largo, Germantown, Rockville and Bowie, MD;
More bells rang out for Dr. King in Boston, Hingham, Cambridge and Lowell, MA. Clergy of five faiths lead the bell-ringing program for metropolitan Detroit. Citizens gathered to ring bells in: Chaska, MN; Omaha, NB; Trenton, Atlantic City and Princeton, NJ; Nyack, Rochester, Seneca Falls, Peterboro and Poughkeepsie, NY; Raleigh, Southport, Asheville, Bayboro and Durham/Chapel Hill, NC; Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati, OH; Tulsa and Oklahoma City, OK; Allentown, Meadville, Scranton, Clarion and Easton, PA; Providence, RI; Columbia, Rock Hill, Charleston, Camden and Alcolu, SC; Chattanooga and Memphis, TN; Jefferson, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Austin, TX; Norwich and Waterville, VT; Charlottesville, Arlington, Federicksburg, Manassas, Petersburg, Staunton and Richmond, VA; Seattle and Yakima, WA; Charleston, WV and numerous sites in the nation's capitol.
Outside of the U.S., the Dalai Llama delivered a message commemorating Dr. King's speech in Dharamsala, India. In Buenos Aires, African Diaspora of Argentina held a forum on Dr. King's dream and rang bells in response to his call to 'Let Freedom Ring.' In Kathmandu Nepal, Padam Lall Maharjan led the ringing of 'gong' bells, which have sacred significance in Nepalese traditions. Mayor Laurent Wehrli of Montreaux, Switzerland led the "I Have a Dream" commemorative bell-ringing. The Holy Trinity Church in Birmingham, U.K. held a bell-ringing ceremony, in which Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus joined with Christians in celebrating Dr. King's dream. Also in the U.K., the At Trafalgar Square (also at this link) and at Southbank Centre in London rang the "Festival Bell" at a performing arts festival marking the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's dream. Bell-ringing commemorations of Dr. King's dream were also held in Tokyo and Lutry, Switzerland. A group in South Africa skyped their bell-ringing in unison with Ferebee Enterprises, a Washington, D.C. organization working to empower girls. The chapel in Castillo San Felipe del Morro in Puerto Rico also rang its bronze bell in commemoration of Dr. King's dream.
Many of the bell-ringing groups were based in churches or partnered with churches that had bells. But the diverse groups that organized bell-ringing events also included: Teach for America; the American Palestinian Womens' Association; the Riverside, CA Latino Voter Registration Project; Dr. King's Alma Mater, Morehouse College in Atlanta; the Soka Gakkai International Buddhist Altar Bell in Washington, D.C.; West Virginia University; Girls, Inc. of Oak Ridge, TN; Craters of the Moon National Monument, in Arco, ID; the City of Orlando, FL; the Granville, Ohio School System; Sojourner-Douglass College in Baltimore; the Bailey Child Care Center of Lansing, MI; the Jean LaFitte National Park in partnership with the New Orleans Fire Department; the Gandhi Foundation USA in Atlanta; the San Francisco Bayard Rustin LGBT Coalition; and Sunny Sands Elementary School in Cathedral, CA, to name just a few.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... Christian and Lutheran Life...
I've been helping with Vacation Bible School (VBS) music every afternoon this week. I didn't do much. A CD came with the VBS materials for the kids to sing along with, so it was very easy. (I didn't have to learn the songs on the piano! Yay!)
The VBS materials had an extensive and well-developed treasure hunt theme. In the church where we had openings and closings, it was decorated as "Treasure Cove." Chester, a talking treasure chest, appeared in short videos that we watched during the openings and closings.
Each day the kids collected clues to help Chester find his missing jewels. Each day, one jewel was discovered and returned. The jewel of each day was used as a symbol that related to the Bible lesson, and at the end of the week, all of the jewels fit into a cross that had been used as a prop throughout the week.
The music was upbeat and fun. The kids were trying to sing the theme song without their song sheets within a couple of days. One of this week's songs was set to the melody of "Little Old Lady from Pasadena" and another was set to the melody of Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat song ("Day-O"). (Music samples here.)
Each of the lessons was centered around the idea of treasure, too. The overall theme was "Riches in Christ", and the first four lessons were about events in the life of Jesus:
"Discovering Treasure!" (Jesus feeds 5000.)
"Showing Treasure!" (Jesus walks on water.)
"Knowing Treasure!" (Jesus washes feet.)
"Trusting Treasure!" (The risen Jesus at the beach.)
The fifth lesson was:
"Sharing Treasure!" (Apostle Paul in a shipwreck)
Over the years, I've been involved with many Vacation Bible Schools and I've seen a lot of Vacation Bible School packages. Perhaps I should explain that in this day and age, churches usually purchase a VBS package rather than trying to invent their own materials from scratch.
My congratulations to Concordia Publishing House for a job well done. I'm really impressed with the creativity and appeal of the materials in the "Treasure Cove" package.
Much is said about modern children being interested only in entertainment -- game systems, computers, videos, television, etc. This VBS package proved that their attention and interest can still be brought to focus on the Gospel.
This evening after VBS was over, we had a simple picnic with hot dogs, pork & beans, macaroni & cheese, and finger foods. The kids played frisbee and hide-and-seek and the adults sat around and chatted. It was a nice finale to a pleasant week.

…And no winners, either. You see, that's what happens when no one actually makes the recipe. There were a lot of great suggestions and enticing ideas floating around in those comments, but not a single person followed all of the rules. More importantly, no one even made their stuffing! How do you know it's good without testing it out? Sure, we can all guess judging by the ingredients and methods, but come on, cook your damn entry!
Whew, okay, just had to get that off my chest. I still love you guys, but trust me, I'll never even utter the word "stuffing" again after this fiasco. No "dressing" either, as long as we're referring to the thanksgiving side dish. Nope, I'm ready to wash my hands clean of this Thanksgiving business already, how about you? If you're in the same predicament and still have family to host, don't worry, I won't leave you hanging. For the morning after, here's a quick recipe that's sufficiently seasonal but still good for any time of the year, not to mention dead easy to make even after suffering the traditional Thanksgiving feast hangover.
Apologies for the lousy picture; It's hard to control my appetite first thing in the morning, and before I could snap another shot, this whole stack had mysteriously disappeared.
Cornmeal and Cranberry Pancakes
2 Cups White Cornmeal
3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 Cups Plain Soymilk
1 Teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 Cup Canola Oil
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1/2 Teaspoon Maple Extract (Optional)
1/2 – 1 Cup Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
Standard pancake procedure here: Combine the wet and dry ingredients separately, excluding the cranberries, and then pour the wet on top of the dry. Whisk just enough to combine, being careful not to overmix.
Set a large skillet over medium heat and let it get warm. If you drop a tiny splash of water in, it should scuttle around a bit; not immediately sizzle off, and not just sit around doing nothing. When it gets to that stage, give it a lightly spritz with cooking spray.
Ladle about 1/4 – 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake, and drop a handful of cranberries into the center of each raw puddle. Wait until bubbles form and pop on the top before flipping, about 2 minutes. Cook for an additional 1 – 2 minutes on the other side, until evenly browned. Serve immediately, or keep warm in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 30 minutes at most.
Serves 4 – 6

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT was impressive in its first meet of the New England spring season. The Cardinal and Gray won eight individual events and both relays en route to a first-place finish against RPI and WPI in the annual Engineers Cup. MIT totaled 191 points while RPI finished with 101 and WPI closed with 95.
Senior Anthony Teixeira enjoyed a great day in the field as he swept the long and triple jump. Teixeira jumped 21'3.25" to easily out-pace the field in the long jump while he led an impressive 1-2-3 sweep for MIT with a leap of 44'5.5" in the triple. Tex also finished second overall in the 200-meter dash and finished fourth in the 110-meter high hurdles.
Sophomore Stephen Morton finished second to Teixeira in the triple jump, although Morton secured two wins of his own by sweeping the sprints. Morton broke the tape in the 100m with a time of 10.92 and closed with a clip of 22.26 to easily secure a win in the 200m.
Senior Omari Stephens also picked up two wins on Saturday. Stephens cleared 15'9" to power ahead of the competition in the pole vault while he also finished first in the 110-meter high hurdles with a split of 15.30.
Rookie Kevin Kleinguetl edged out teammate David Reshef for a victory in the open quarter-mile, while James Oleinik authored one of the more commanding wins on the afternoon after winning the shot put by over three feet with a toss of 48'10.25".

Ahhh, baseball, the American pastime. Baseball has become synonymous with America. It is right up there with apple pie, Micky Mouse, and Snooki. Sorry about that last one, world.
First officially played back in 1846, the game has outlasted several governments, been around longer than automobiles, and made it through the Civil War and two World Wars while still remaining essentially the same game. And even after all that, the sport is still recording huge numbers of fans as it continues to grow around the world.
The 2012 season began last week, and its timing coincides nicely with our game giveaway. It was very convenient of baseball to schedule its opening week around our giveaway. Last week it was Driver: San Francisco, this week it is 2K Sports' MLB 2K12 for the PS3.
For your chance to win, here's all you have to do: let us know what upcoming game that you would like to hear more about.

Google To Enable End-To-End Email Encryption, Highlight Good Email Security Practices
from the good-to-see dept
A new blog post on the Google blog* has now detailed at least some of Google's plans, including offering a new End-to-End Chrome extension that will make it much easier for anyone to send and receive encrypted email messages. This is a big step forward, and hopefully shows how serious Google is about actually encrypting messages, rather than leaving them open for snooping.
This announcement came along with adding a new section to Google's famed transparency report, entirely focused on email encryption in transit, which will hopefully increase the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) from other email providers out there. In the initial report, Google notes that 65% of outbound messages on Gmail to other providers use TLS, while 50% of inbound messages use TLS (over the last 30 days). And, more importantly, it highlights who supports TLS... and who doesn't (Comcast seems to be a shameful leader on that front). With some transparency, hopefully it will lead more email providers to adopting TLS.
* For the sake of full disclosure, the author of the blog post on Google's site is an old friend of mine, whom I've known for nearly 20 years (I feel old), since long before he worked at Google. I had no idea he was working on this and actually haven't spoken to him in probably a year or two (because life happens). I didn't find out about it from him, but from people talking about it on Twitter.

Hey all, I'm new to Brikwars and I was just wondering...
Care for an EPIC BATTLE in TORONTO?
(More or less in the Etobicoke area?)
I feel that Brikwars forums battle posts are:
A: Becoming less frequent
So how about it, Bacon Barons? A battle in Canada!
Mail me if you're even remotely interested in playing with a
novice like me. I'm only 13 so... Might be a tad awkward. But
all I'm looking for is experienced and new players to do this
with. WE ARE SPEHSS MAHRENS. WE ARE THE EMPRAH'S FURY!
Oh and by the way, Anyone have beginner tips? Strategies? Ideas?

COLDWATER � A jury took less than 90 minutes Tuesday to convict Trevor Hewitt of possessing two homemade weapons while he was an inmate in the Branch County Jail.
Hewitt, 27 will face up to 10 more years in prison consecutive to his current sentence when he is brought back to court for sentencing later this fall.
Corrections Officer Wesley Pope said he searched BCJ maximum security cell E-68 on Oct. 17 while its occupant � Hewitt � was in court. During the inspection Pope found a t-shirt torn into a 2-foot strip with knots on the end.
Branch County Prosecutor Ralph Kimble called the item a "strangulation device."
Also in the cell Pope discovered a towel on the top bunk which was being used by Hewitt to store items. As Pope picked the towel up four batteries fell out � two more batteries than inmates are allowed by jail rules to possess.
The officer said the towel it appeared to be a section that had been ripped from a larger towel.
"It could have been grabbed by the loose end and used as a weapon," Pope said.
Three officers had searched the same cell recently after another prisoner, Cody Savage, caused major destruction in August. There was nothing in the cell while repairs were made � until Hewitt was moved in.
He was the only person except corrections officers that had been in the cell since repairs were completed, the officers testified.
Hewitt told Pope he kept the batteries wrapped in a towel to keep them warm to "save the charge."
Kimble noted one would put batteries in cold to save the power, not warm them.
After Hewitt's counsel Bill Renner argued the torn towel could never have been used as a weapon Kimble, as part of his closing, wrapped the batteries in the cloth and slammed them hard on the defense table � breaking off a piece of the formica.
Hewitt denied knowing anything about the t-shirt knotted into a rope. Renner got Pope to admit there was no indication Hewitt intended to use the shirt or towel and batteries as a weapon.
Kimble explained to the 12-member jury the case might not seem to be important outside a jail.
"But the security of the institution is important," he said. "(The two items) could hurt other people or be used in an escape."
In April Branch County Circuit Judge Bill O�Grady sentenced Hewiit, a Sturgis area resident, to the maximum 32 months to four years in prison as an habitual offender after a jury convicted him of resisting two Walmart security officers while trying to steal items from the Coldwater store in July of last year. One of the victims in that crime was choked until he nearly passed out.
Hewitt caused problems while in prison. He was escorted to court by two Michigan Department of Corrections guards and was transported wearing leg irons and a shock device.
Hewitt has prior convictions for two breaking and entering charges as a felon as well as a series of retail thefts from stores in the region.
Last year while in jail he told police officers and jailers he would take a gun from them and use it. As he entered the courtroom for sentencing in April he said, "I should kill them all and let God sort it out."
Hewitt also has pending charges for attempted escape after he and another inmate broke into the Branch County Jail attic. Kimble is not yet certain he will bring Hewitt back for trial on that charge after this last conviction.

Later this month Japanese music ensemble Agatsuma will make their way to Knoxville as our fourth and final guests as part of the Arts Midwest program. The group is scheduled to arrive in the United States on March 19th and in Marion County on March 20th. Megan McKay Ziller of the Red Rock Arts Alliance, the organization responsible for coordinating the Arts Midwest events, says some of the ensemble members live in north Japan and while she has received word that they are all safe they are currently in shock in the aftermath of this week's earthquake and tsunami. McKay Ziller says the group is still evaluating the situation and how the disaster will impact their day-to-day lives and we should know soon whether or not their scheduled trip to the area will be possible.
KNIA/KRLS news will bring you updates on Agatsuma's visit as they become available.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – The Wittenberg Tigers scored just 18 seconds into the game on their first play from scrimmage and were off to the races from there en route to a surprisingly comfortable 52-14 victory over visiting DePauw in the visiting Tigers' first-ever game as a member of the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC).
DePauw's first touch of the football as a conference member was an inauspicious one as the opening kickoff was fumbled on a hit by Wittenberg junior linebacker Spencer Leno (Massillon, Ohio/Washington). It took the Tigers just one play to reach the end zone as junior wide receiver Desi Kirkman (Lima, Ohio/Catholic Central) hit paydirt on an 11-yard reverse.
From there, the route was on. Wittenberg went on to pile up 508 yards of total offense, compared to 253 yards for DePauw. The win moved the Tigers to 2-0 on the season, while DePauw dropped to 0-2.
Junior quarterback Reed Florence (South Charleston, Ohio/Southeastern) had a tremendous first start in front of the home crowd, completing 11 of his first 12 passes on his way to a 336-yard performance. Four of those passes went for touchdowns to four different receivers.
Florence was credited with one of the scoring receptions himself. He started the play with a lateral to sophomore wide receiver Zac Wilson (Eaton, Ohio/Eaton), who then passed it back across the field to Florence. Following a convoy of blockers on the perfectly executed trick play, Florence covered the next 42 yards to the end zone.
Florence even added a team-high 46 rushing yards on eight carries. Five other players finished with at least four carries in the game as the Tigers racked up 144 yards in total.
Senior Garth Gilbert (Medway, Ohio/Tecumseh), junior Brendon Cunningham (Kettering, Ohio/Fairmont) and junior Jonathan Stoner (Bowling Green, Ohio/Bowling Green) all caught touchdown passes in the game. Gilbert led both teams with a career-best seven receptions in the game, totaling 83 yards.
Defensively, Wittenberg was paced by Leno with 11 tackles, including one for a loss of two yards, followed by junior safety Mark Swope (Fairborn, Ohio/Fairborn) and junior defensive tackle Cory Cosby (Canal Winchester, Ohio/Pickerington Central) with eight stops apiece.

Mattel Now Using Song In Commercial... Which It Once Sued Over Copyright Infringement
from the change-of-heart? dept
It took seven years since that decision, but apparently Mattel had decided to heed Judge Kozinski's suggestion. Reader Sallo alerts us to the news that Mattel has actually licensed the song for a commercial -- though, they "adjusted" some of the lyrics to make it a little more pro-Barbie, rather than mocking-Barbie. Still, that's quite a jump: from suing the band for infringement to actually licensing and using the song in just a few years.

Usman Haque at ars electronica 2011
usman haque, founder of pachube, architect, influential interaction designer, media artist AND(!) businessman gave a brilliant presentation at the architekturforum oberoesterreich today (part of ars electronica festival in linz, austria).
i met usman haque for the first time in 2010 in san sebastian, spain where he was in a show with etoy: sillicon dreams. he presented natural fuse. i was not 100% convinced back then... even one of our TAMATAR was very much attracted to usmans plants: TAMATAR NO 8 left our installation (that had a +200m2 space) just to hang out with natural fuse!
after his show today i have to say: this guy is an excellent example for design on the highest level: intelligent, networked (technically and on a cultural base) to the maximum extent, cool, stylish, critical and very much aware of what he is doing. but more than that: he is a geek who can perfectly communicate his passion for complexity. he SUPER SERIOUSLY considers his audience, failures and challenges in our filed. in his work and research INTERACTION DESIGN is more than another tag. wow. i'm impressed.
after usmans presentation i know better than ever before why i had to leave ecal (university of art and design in lausanne) even i had a super good position (official professor and head of unit of interaction design) in one of the most respected design schools of the world (shows at moma ny, design museum london etc): ecal's understanding of design is funny, funky, trendy and easy to love -> yes... the ecal-quality-level is very high (things are very well done = respect! many universities can learn a lot from this small school), ecal products are super aggressively promoted (which is embarrassing if you have a sense for the limits) and the system is based on a hardcore hierarchy (none, not even the dictator would disagree: it's a dictatorship ... that burns and terrifies people every day). and this is all reflected in its understanding of design: it rejects the complexity of our times. it rejects interaction, openness, tolerance, sharing (everybody was paranoid about stealing ideas)...
the things usman was talking about today are exactly the opposite. and that's the future of smart design. otherwise we will all go down the drain. and it will not even be fun.
i'm 100% sure usman is on the right way! -> strong buy!
FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE IN LINZ: tomorrow the Sensing Place / Placing Sense – Symposium will start at 10AM. featuring two of my media culture heros: Joi Ito (former ceo of creative commons and the new director of MIT media lab who will present Safecast.org) and Natalie Jeremijenko.

Human Rights
- 1 Article
Human rights and sustainable development is a broad topic. Human
rights are the rights that one is born with; such as, being born
free and equal.But even in present day the human rights of people
all over the world are being violated. The violations that occur
against human rights include torture and abuse in at least 81
countries, unfair trials in at least 54 countries, and restricted
freedom of expression in at least 77 countries; as well as, human
trafficking, different types of abuse, etc. Not only am I alarmed
of these violations, but also by that fact that about 25 million
children between the ages of 5 and 14 are forces into labor.
Though the eight sustainable developmental goals are making great
changes in the world, I am urging for more to be done to make the
change in the world.

I love, love, love this fragrance oil scent! It is a sweet tobacco with a hint of apple. I was restocking a store today when two women stopped by to check out my candles. I picked up the Tobacco Apple I had just brought in, for them to sniff. I loved the look on their faces when their eyes lite up and smiles broke out. I have tagged this as a masculine scent but in all honesty it is a great one for anybody. Please rest assured that this product does not contain any tobacco/nicotine products and is not to be smoked
Melts and candles are now dye free! Look for the pictures to be replaced as they are made.
Melts are perfect for Secret Pals, gift baskets, stocking stuffers, that hard to buy coworker or a college student with a electric melt warmer. The scent is so strong that it can sit opened in your desk drawer, night stand or linen closet to freshen up.
These melts are made from USA grown pure soy wax that has botanicals added to make them a little firmer. The melts weigh 3 or 6 ounces total and come in a neat breakaway container. If you tire of the scent simply pour it back in after it has slightly cooled and let it harden. Close the lid and store for future use. Once you use up the tarts the container is great to hole post ear rings, beads (for you jewelry makers that want to take your craft with you or set them up for certain necklaces or bracelets), etc.
Breakaway Melt Facts:
- 3 or 6 ounces of soy with botanicals (for hardening) - an eco-friendly
blend that holds the scent better
- Scent time: approx 8 hours for 3 ounce and 16 hours for 6 ounce - this depends on environmental conditions such as drafts.
- Phthalate free
-Fragrance oil with essential oil scents
-Dye free. Some fragrance oils may have a slight tan tint.
- All products are hand made and poured in small batches to maintain quality.
Like most people, I love to get samples and love to give them also. So look for a total of two samples that can be candle scents in the form of tealights and or soap samples with each purchase.
Melts are available in any of my scents and any number. I can fit up to 4 of the three ounce melts in a small flat rate box for $7.10.
To view a list of my scents with descriptions including some awesome Halloween, Fall, Winter and Holiday go to: https://covingtoncreekcandles.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
This scent is available in all of my style containers. Want more than one just email me for a reserve listing.

To get the best burn time on any candle burn no longer than 3-4 hours.
Light the wick with a spagetti stick (yes it's ok to light the stick with a lighter or match). This avoids that black ring from the petro in the lighter or sout from the wooden match. Plus you can reach deep into those tall candle jars.
Do not leave burning candles unattended. Do not leave burning candles or the glass containers within a childs or pets reach.
Do not use the lid to estinguish the flame.
As with all things in life some people may find a allergic reaction to an ingreadient in the candles, lotions, soaps and lip balm. I do take care in chosing the ingredients that I use and post them in product information. The only exception is the votives that have botanicals added at the manufacturers to give a firmness of the product. If you have any allergies to botanicals please use this product with care. So far no one has had a reaction but if you do you do have an allergic reaction to any products (mine or someone elses) stop using the product and seek medical attention. I, nor this business, are responsible for any costs accrued by you.
