What exactly is art?
Some may argue that technology should not be confused with art. And I'm sure that same argument first surfaced back in the mists of time when the cave painters progressed from twigs and blood and charcoal and mud to bristle brushes and pigment paints.
For me the "Artistic" tools in the "Filter" menu of Photoshop are a pleasant and creative way to while away Sunday afternoon hours when I've had enough of the NFL for one day. Particularly because many of my favorite pictures are in negative format and more than 30 years old, it's fun to try to artistically capture what I had in mind when I took the picture.
Here are two such attempts – the "nude on the hot tin roof" above is recreated with the "Waterpaper" tool in the "Sketch" command. The second nude, a model you have seen here many times earlier, is done with "Paint Daubs" in the "Artistic" command. In both cases these images recreate, at least to me, an intellectual argument that transcends the mere reproduction of the moment. We can ask, therefore, is art a technical application or an intellectual application? Without looking for binary answers, maybe we can say it is a subtle transfusion of both. Or, we can allways fall back on the old cliché, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

The Mitch Pitch
I have been meaning to comment on that David Brooks column in The New York Times last week, entitled Run Mitch, Run. Brooks is the latest member of the Republican intelligentsia (including George Will) to make the case that Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels would be the strongest Republican nominee in 2012. If the Republican primary environment was likely to be dominated by party regulars and institutional elites this time around, then I would say Brooks just might get his wish. But given the tea party-infused energy of movement conservatives who somewhat suspiciously view Brooks as a moderate (or at least as a liberal's favorite conservative), Daniels could be in for a challenging ride should he decide to enter the race.
I have heard many a conservative activist say the Republican Party erred in 2008 by settling for someone like Arizona Senator John McCain, who was believed to be more electable by virtue of his centrist appeal. They apparently have no intention of accepting what they view as a compromise candidate like that again. Daniels' suggestion that the social conservative agenda be set aside in favor of an exclusive focus on jobs and the economy is a colossal red flag for these folks, and his derision toward those who buy into the ideological purity espoused by conservative talk radio and Fox News has not earned him any goodwill with the base either. As a result, Brooks seems almost wistful in his pitch, as though he understands that it just may be the wrong political place and time for a Mitch Daniels candidacy.

Little holes along a seam line are usually caused when trying to clean
too much of the seam waste at one time. If you use a knife to scrape the seam line, do it in thin layers to get excess waste, finishing up with a nylon stocking or sponge with fine grit to get that smooth finish.

Assurance for Small Business
Ask someone what he or she would want as their dream job and the likelihood of him or her saying. "To be my own boss", is probably pretty high. Starting a small business and the idea of being your own boss is not only aspirational; it may be the most popular institution in America. The embodiment of the American dream is Business and it's also the foundation this country was built on.
And starting your own business today is easier than ever before. You can usually register your business name and web domain online in minutes. Small businesses today also have various channels available for selling their products. You can open up a traditional brick&mortar location or sell your products online via your own ecommerce site or channels such as Amazon and eBay.
Part of starting your business also requires figuring out how you'll produce your products. And how you get your products can drastically impact your bottom-line. Working directly with manufacturers has its benefits, but it usually requires you to go overseas. Platforms like Alibaba.com have made the sourcing part easier, allowing businesses to find just about anything from anywhere and online. However, Alibaba.com has mainly played the role of a supplier-listing page, until recently.
The new Trade Assurance service by Alibaba.com, lets businesses select their suppliers based on a Trade Assurance limit. The limit reflects the amount Alibaba.com covers a specific supplier for, which is based on the supplier's trade history. This coverage amount provides assurance that your order will be protected for up to that specific amount with your supplier, in case something goes wrong with the order.
Why do this?
Trust is something that usually comes up as a concern for both buyers and suppliers. From a buyer's perspective, they usually want a reliable supplier that will deliver a quality product on time. And from a supplier's perspective, they want to work with buyers that are actually going to place orders and pay on time. Trade Assurance essentially helps build that initial 'trust' and provides buyers a safety net, especially those who are looking to source products from overseas for the very first time.
What's Protected?
Product quality and product shipment time are covered under Trade Assurance.
Product Quality
I like to tell businesses that Trade Assurance helps you source products, the right way, the first time. Meaning, it ensures that a purchase order is in place and both the buyer and supplier agree to the terms. Product quality can often have different meanings to both buyers and suppliers.
To mitigate that the decision is based on an unbiased perspective, Alibaba.com requires buyers to hire a third-party inspection service. An inspection service is a great tool and allows buyers to find local inspectors throughout China and inspect goods during and post production.
With Trade Assurance, your hired inspector will inspect products while they're still at their origin and inspect them based on the details, as provided by you and what's stated in your purchase order. If everything is as it's supposed to be, you give your supplier the green light to ship. If the products are not built to specs as stated in contract, and the supplier is not willing to fix the issue, buyers can file a claim and get their money back up to the supplier's coverage, from Alibaba.com.
To learn more about Inspection Service and using Alibaba.com, click here.
On-time Shipments
It's pretty simple here, if your order is not shipped as stated in your contract, you're protected. With anything, buyers should always try to work things out with their supplier first. However, if the order is delayed and you're not able to resolve the issue with your supplier, file a claim. Buyers can get their out-of-pocket up to the supplier's Trade Assurance coverage, back from Alibaba.com.
A Bit of Assurance
In addition, with Trade Assurance buyers can now rate their experience online and share it publicly with others, positive or negative. The real benefit of Trade Assurance is that it helps counter some of the biggest fears businesses have with sourcing products overseas. Alibaba.com wants global trade to be as seamless as it can be. The Trade Assurance service is currently only available with Alibaba.com suppliers based out of Mainland China; however, it will soon be available for most of the suppliers listed on the site.
Ready to use Trade Assurance or want to learn more? Click Here
The key takeaway here should be that, everything you need from starting a business to sourcing products and selling them, can be done online today. Starting a business can be overwhelming for anyone but the risks are getting smaller, however the opportunity and the rewards remain big.

Deck of the Week for 12/15/2016
Deck of the Week | Dual Purpose Deck
This week we wanted to feature a deck that served multiple purposes for our homeowner. Not only did our client desire a space to extend his living environment outdoors; he needed a safe and accessible deck to accommodate the use of a scooter. Deck and Basement Company designed a mobility-friendly deck that allows the homeowner to freely maneuver his scooter and provides access to his backyard.
While accessibly ramps are not complex to build, the uneven landscape on this property led to challenges to get the slope of the ramp code compliant. Deck and Basement Company worked closely with Tyler Wortz Magnolia Landscape & Design Co. to get the grading correct to ensure the ramp met handicap ramp code regulations required by the city.
This deck used low maintenance AZEK decking and fascia. Custom-built railings include a unique element we call the "AZEK Drink Rail" featuring a 5 ½ inch decking board that connects to the railing. The flat surface accommodates beverages or other items; a feature clients enjoy especially for entertaining.
This was a special build for us. Not only did our client gain the access he needed, he now can enjoy the outdoors with family and friends without feeling like he was missing out, a freedom we believe everyone should have.

I admit it. I bought an XBox 360.
Well come on, until Apple really goes for it and launches a games console (not the Pippin!) I didn't have much choice. I had a Wii for a while (because it seemed the most Apple-esque choice) but it didn't quite cut it against the next-gen breed.
So…I've had this Microsoft product in my home for a fortnight now. All has been good and, I hate to say it, I've enjoyed using it. I bought the top of the line Elite model and a bunch of games and, despite it looking like a VCR or some kind of high tech shoebox, things have been fine.Today I come home looking to settle down for a quick game of Call of Duty and what happens… the disc drive is emitting some kind of buzzing sound and no game can be read. I knew the last 14 days had been too good to be true.
Online I hop and, lo and behold, literally hundreds of people have had this problem if not thousands. Apparently it's my fault. I should have made sure my XBox was kept cool and rested on its side!
What the @$%&!?
There are some things I don't need to be warned about. I know the coffee in my cup is hot and I know that smoking kills.What I didn't know was that if you position an XBox in one of the ways it's built to sit/stand it will break. I also didn't know that if you allow an XBox to heat up to anything close to room temperature, it'll break.
So Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is sitting out in Vegas at the moment complaining that the MacBook Air is too heavy, he's moaning about the iPhone price, always dissing Apple. Ok Steve, at least when Apple brings a product to market, "It just works". The bastard child of Sloth from The Goonies and an albatross can blindly tout Vista as a revolution and Windows Mobile as groundbreaking but can he honestly say that any of his products really face up to actual use and tests of functionality?
I've had a MacBook for two years. No faults. An iMac which I've had fixed once in 5 years of ownership and an iPhone thats been dropped, knocked and had a cigarette put out on its screen and it still works, still looks great. All of the above run Mac OS X by the way. Any problems with that? No. Even after upgrading to the latest OS which (unlike Microsoft's effort is better than the previous version).
I've had an XBox less than half a month and its stopped working.
Another admission: I've owned an XBox before. The original model. What happened to it? The drive broke. Then the HD. Then some kind of video fault developed. All within one year.
I'm the idiot here. I naively thought that, as much as its operating system is a pile of the proverbial, Microsoft had its games devision nailed and would certainly have been committed to more stable hardware after many issues with the original XBox model. Man was I wrong.Knock it together, fire it out to the masses, pay the price when a huge percentage of the products fail.
The guy who sold me my XBox tried to push me onto a PS3, citing the "hundreds" of returns he'd been plagued with since he began stocking the XBox 360. I wish I'd listened to him. I wish I'd taken his advice, given my money to another company that cares about the end user, cares about products standing the test of time and cares about quality.As we well know, Microsoft is not a company on that list.
I'm the sucker for thinking things couldn't possibly get any worse.
So, to Evil Steve (Ballmer): Screw you, your stupid dancing antics, your sweating and your mangled vocal chords.
To Good Steve (Jobs): It's time to bring out yet another device to shame the morons at Microsoft.

overview of point in time activity
A Point-In-Time, or PIT, count is a statistically reliable, unduplicated count of people experiencing homelessness during a designated one-night period. Wisconsin conducts this count twice per year.
WHEN-January 2018 PIT dates and times
A PIT is intended to capture a minimum amount of information on the homeless population in order to create a "snapshot" of what homelessness looks like in a neighborhood, city, or state. The data collected through the Point-in-Time process is reported in the Annual Homelessness Assessment Report (AHAR) that is provided to the U.S. Congress. Homeless information is also reported to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, and is utilized to develop the Housing Inventory Chart for the Balance of State Continuum of Care.
This count is intended to include persons that are homeless and are living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, safe havens for the homeless, domestic violence shelters, or who are unsheltered living on the streets or any other place not mean for human habitation.
All across the state of Wisconsin and across the country, the Point in Time is conducted, by volunteers.
The required 2017 trainings are valid for the process to be used for the January and July 2017 count. Another training following the count will be announced soon and posted here on this page.
Point-in-Time Training #1 *This is required for all PIT LEADS
January 4th, 2017 1-3 pm
The focus of this training will be on the organization of the PIT count, the requirements of the PIT count, the purpose of the PIT count, the HIC, etc. There will be some results shared from the last several Point-in-Times, etc. If you have members of the local continua that struggle with the count or the reasons behind doing a count, this would be a good training for them to hear – whether live or watch the recording. We will go over what data needs to be collected during the sheltered and unsheltered PIT count for both HMIS and non-HMIS agencies.
Use the red button to view the recorded training. Your viewing will be recorded by completing the short name form that appears after clicking on the button. Enjoy!
Point-in-Time: Non HMIS Data Collection 2017
Jan 16, 2017 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
The focus of this training will be on the non-HMIS data collection for the Point-in-Time (PIT). This will include the requirements for a sheltered and unsheltered count, as well as the service based post-PIT count. This training is highly recommended for anyone that participates in the PIT count but does not use Service Point.
Use the red button to view the recorded training. Your viewing will be recorded by completing the short name form that appears after clicking on the button. Enjoy!

Abstract: The recent interest in using microorganisms for biofuels is motivation enoughto study bioconvection and cell dispersion in tubes subject to imposed flow. Tooptimize light and nutrient uptake, many microorganisms swim in directionsbiased by environmental cues e.g. phototaxis in algae and chemotaxis inbacteria. Such taxes inevitably lead to accumulations of cells, which, as manymicroorganisms have a density different to the fluid, can induce hydrodynamicinstabilites. The large-scale fluid flow and spectacular patterns that ariseare termed bioconvection. However, the extent to which bioconvection isaffected or suppressed by an imposed fluid flow, and how bioconvectioninfluences the mean flow profile and cell transport are open questions. Thisexperimental study is the first to address these issues by quantifying thepatterns due to suspensions of the gravitactic and gyrotactic greenbiflagellate alga Chlamydomonas in horizontal tubes subject to an imposed flow.With no flow, the dependence of the dominant pattern wavelength at patternonset on cell concentration is established for three different tube diameters.For small imposed flows, the vertical plumes of cells are observed merely tobow in the direction of flow. For sufficiently high flow rates, the plumesprogressively fragment into piecewise linear diagonal plumes, unexpectedlyinclined at constant angles and translating at fixed speeds. The patternwavelength generally grows with flow rate, with transitions at critical ratesthat depend on concentration. Even at high imposed flow rates, bioconvection isnot wholly suppressed and perturbs the flow field.

WoW designer on why it makes "sense" for Blizzard to go F2P
World of Warcraft is a game with a lot of history, being one of the most played game of all time. It's been released back in 2004 and since then it rulled the world.
Well, things hasn't been so great lately over at Blizzard. There are several speculations that the game will go free-to-play, ditching monthly subscription in favor of micro-transtractions.
When asked about the future of WoW and the possibility of the game to be free-to-play in the future, Tomb Chilton lead designer for the game said: "For Blizzard it makes sense [to go free-to-play] at some point,"
"But a lot of the risk is in making that transition. You hear stories about developers going free-to-play and getting double the number of players, but you don't always know it works out that way and how long it stays that way.
"We really don't know what the rate is before people drop off an lose interest."
They should really think before making such a big step like this. Not that free-to-play isn't a good system but it could ruin the whole game. Or not?

Matryoshka Dolls
I never thought I'd buy one of these things because I think they are just too typical a souvenir. But after seeing many of them for two straight days, I was convinced I had to buy a couple of small ones for the kids, and maybe even some for their little friends.
They come in all sizes, and some are intricately painted with complicated scenes. But those for simple souvenirs usually come with 5 dolls.
Then I spotted this tiny one, no bigger than 2.5 inches tall. Guess how many are inside?
The first time I opened it in front of the girls, the were squealing with surprise each time I opened yet another doll to reveal the next. They were so tiny, you wouldn't think they would open further. I also had to open them on top of a plate so they wouldn't get lost in case it popped out of my fingers.
The smallest one is as tiny as a grain of rice. There are 10 of them in this 2" doll!
I should've taken a video of their reactions. It was too cute.

Turbo-matic Toast Rack
Kingsmill were to 'piggy back' on the success of the latest Christmas blockbuster, Wallace and Gromit's film 'A Matter of Loaf and Death', and create a range of related items to help promote the brand. To begin with the brief from the agency, GHMC, was fairly loose with the focus being on the main gift of a 'Turbomatic Toast Rack'. This was to be based on the design of the van in the recent film and feature a wind up mechanism so it could be raced across the table at breakfast time. All Stay Sourced had to work from was a hand sized van model, a few rough sketches and several images of the van from the film.
Our Process
Stay Sourced went backwards and forwards with different designs and mechanisms until they created the perfect solution that would be true to the brand and the licence.
The factory then produced a mud mould which allowed the whole project to come to life as the client could now see what the Turbomatic Toast Rack would look like. A number of pre-production samples were created, tweaking each one just slightly to ensure a quality, novel product.
Considerations included; ensuring the van ran smoothly across the table; the rack was the right height so the toast didn't fall out (part of the brief was the rack had to accommodate all bread sizes); and a rigorous testing procedure to ensure it adhered to all legal standards as well as the clients exacting standards.
In addition to the 'Turbomatic Toast Rack' Stay Sourced also produced other gifts for the whole campaign including 'Wallace and Gromit' branded lunch boxes, stationery sets and oven gloves.
What We Delivered
Nominated for BPMA Campaign of the Year.
A website launched to manage the whole redemption scheme which showcased the different gifts and how many vouchers were required for each one. From launch the number of hits the website received was far greater than ever anticipated and led to Stay Sourced producing additional racks to ensure demand was met. The promotion surpassed both the sales and redemption targets set out at the beginning of the project.
"From the moment we presented our initial concepts to the client and Aardman they fell in love with the idea of the Turbo-Matic Toast Rack. After much stress about how we would deliver Stay Sourced were the only company we found who could supply all of the items required on time, on budget and to the high standards required."
Marc Williams, Account Director from GHMC

Chiaki Minami Minami-ke CosplayCategory: Anime, minami-ke, school uniform | 6,280 views
Cosplay Character
Chiaki Minami (南 千秋 Minami Chiaki) cosplay from Minami-ke
Cosplayer : 那々原まい
Chiaki is the youngest sister in elementary school. She is in class 5-2 (a reference to Kyo no Gononi). Her apparent high intelligence often makes her over analyze simple stuff. She also tends to ignore idiotic behavior displayed by Kana and Makoto.
She also places Haruka in high regards; she respects and looks up to Haruka. Although being the youngest, she is the meanest out of the three; most of the time, she is quiet during group activities, and almost always uses the word "bakayarō" (meaning dumbass in or simply you fool in Japanese), which is a more forceful form for "idiot" in Japanese ("baka" being the less forceful term).
Chiaki seems to know that Fujioka is genuinely in love with Kana. After talking with Haruka, Chiaki has come to associate Fujioka as a father figure and will often place herself on his lap when she seeks fatherly affection or to complete the family experience. "Chiaki" contains the kanji for "autumn".
Wew.. a loli cosplay ? Hahaha she even make that onion hair that's just awesome. She looks cute with that hair.. but i think chiaki school dress skirt have pattern ? I hope she won't say 'bakayaro' to anyone there

Communication between parts of a distributed system can add complexity and constraints to already complex systems. When the communication protocols tightly couple the components, ensuring configurable scalability and availability can be difficult. Messaging offers a flexible solution to decouple the components of distributed systems. I'll present how messaging works, show how it is implemented within an application, and talk about how I've used messaging to solve some real-world problems.

About The Zulu Kitchen
Why Zulu? Zulu is the last letter in the phonetic alphabet. This is the alphabet used by military and emergency responders to make it easier to understand communications. You've no doubt heard this alphabet; it's the one that starts "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie ..." and ends "X-Ray, Yankee, Zulu." Zulu is "Z".
And so we chose Zulu Quality to set ourselves apart as the last word in quality. Our founder is former US Navy, so this seemed an appropriate usage of the term "Zulu". :-)
So what is Zulu Quality? The short answer is we're a kitchen supply company, with the plan of focusing on several very specific items of high quality, unique function, low price and great style. Our ambition is to be in 1% of all US households in the next few years. That may not seem like much, but 1% works out to 1.2 million kitchens. That's quite a few! Thanks to many of you we're already well on our way.
Lastly, our goal from the start has been to give back. Each and every one of us is trying to survive, and some are doing it better than others. We knew we wanted to make giving integral to our products, so we looked for the best way to do that. In the end we chose a charity, and we chose one related to our mission: the kitchen and food. Our chosen charity is the Feeding America Network, and a portion of every purchase goes to them.
Ingredients of the Zulu kitchen:
Style. Function. Conversation.
Zulu Quality items are all about the right style, the best, most useful function, and bringing conversation and a spirit of togetherness to the kitchen.
The kitchen is the heart of the home. Zulu defines its soul.
- Zulu was founded with the goal of bringing fun, quality and style into the kitchen
- Our goal is to offer somewhat cooler, somewhat neater, somewhat better items for the kitchen at about the same price you'd pay for the more usual item
- We're based in Florida in the US
- Each Zulu item should be a conversation starter, something that looks good on the counter or in the kitchen and is also more functional
- We call it FUNctional (Fun + Functional)
- See the Footer of this site for our Social links
- And sign up for the "Be In The Know" newsletter
Thanks so much for being a Zulu customer.
Zulu Quality LLC

Photo of the Capitol dome, home of those who live in the Ivory Tower
There is no path to defunding Obamacare, according to Republicans, but there is a slight chance they can delay the Individual Mandate. Establishment Republicans have chosen to go for delay over defund. For those of us who want them to stand strongly for something, it is a little disappointing, but perhaps it will be a brilliant tactic and not the weak-kneed one it appears to be.
Congressmen in general like their jobs and they don't like waves. They worry about the next election.
Republicans are worried about losing the House and they hope to pick up seats in the Senate. It will be devastating to our freedoms if big spender Obama wins both.
Republicans believe they have a small chance at winning a delay because some Democrats want more time to work out the kinks in Obamacare. They believe the only thing to be achieved by attempting to defund is to make a statement.
They are aware that if Obamacare crashes, the Democrats want to roll it over into Single Payer. They are willing at that point to fight for a market-based system that includes the good that is in the Obamacare bill.
They are also going to seek to extend the spending bill as long as Obama agrees to keep sequestration since it has worked out so well. They believe some cuts, inartful as they are, are better than none.
The Republicans said they will not give in on the debt ceiling.
So round-and-round we go.

WaterkenTM YURL
Why Use YURLs?
This document makes the case that YURLs are almost always a better choice than the PKI.
Principle of least privilege
The principle of least privilege is the main constraint in the design of secure software. This constraint requires that a task be completed using the minimum distribution of privilege. As explained by the y-property, only the creator of a URL requires the privilege of determining the target of the URL. A YURL meets this constraint, the PKI does not. The PKI additionally gives the Certificate Authority (CA) the privilege of determining the target of the URL.
To understand the gravity of PKI's violation of the principle of least privilege, examine the list of CA certificates in your web browser. This list is commonly upwards of 50 long. All of these participants have the privilege to impersonate any site. If the private key for any one of these certificates is not perfectly protected, an attacker can impersonate any site.
Certificate lifecycle control
Today, the unfortunate reality is that servers get hacked. When your server gets hacked, your private key is exposed and no longer useful for authentication. To return to business, you must revoke the old certificate and get a new certificate issued. When using the PKI, you must pay your CA for this service. When using YURLs, you can provide this service for yourself. When using YURLs, you are your own CA. You have complete control over the creation of certificates.
Due to the high cost of CA services, sysadmins infrequently change a server's certificate. Increasing the lifetime of a certificate increases your vulnerability to identity theft. The longer the certificate is valid, the longer the private key must be protected. When using YURLs, sysadmins can shorten the lifetime of a certificate, change keys more frequently, and thus reduce their site's vulnerability to identity theft. Keys could even be changed at a frequency that would enable the site to forgo certificate revocation and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs).
Name ownership
A PKI based URL, like
A YURL, like
Monopoly rents
Despite the large number of CA certificates in the web browser, one company has a monopoly on selling certificates to the public. This company charges nearly $1000 for a certificate. When using YURLs, you issue your own certificates. No third party demands a fee.
Paying monopoly rents may be a tolerable situation when you only need limited services, but the situation becomes untenable when your needs expand. A single certificate for your entire WWW site may be affordable, but purchasing certificates for smaller collections of resources, like each web service, will quickly become unaffordable.
These economics typically result in many web services being bundled under the same domain name and SSL certificate. This solution creates a difficult and expensive performance bottleneck, as requests to all hosted web services must be routed through the same domain name. Since the same SSL private key authenticates all bundled web services, the security of each web service is not independent. This security vulnerability grows linearly with the number of bundled web services.
When using YURLs, you can give each web service its own authentication identity. This solution provides simple and cheap load distribution, as each web service can be independently migrated between computers. The security of each web service can be made independent, reducing vulnerability and facilitating management and security auditing.
When to use the PKI
Storing authentication information in the URL makes it difficult to memorize. If your URLs must be human memorable, the PKI is an appropriate choice for authentication.
Rarely are humans required to memorize a URL. Software is almost always used to remember the URL for the user. Before deciding to use the PKI, be sure that your application has this requirement. If it does, reevaluate your user interface before committing to the PKI. Using a hyperlink is always better than a memorized URL.

Decorating Tips by Newton Decorators making Any Area Better
We are creative types by nature as well as love to envision, desire and check out, following our instinct. That said, there are some harsh principles that direct us to make certain a terrific result each time. They are just tried and also true things that work. As well as these typically aren't tricks or skills that take years to master.
1. Choose the paint color last.
I obtain telephone calls regularly from homeowners that want to pick a paint shade before they move in. I get the reasoning. Why not get here to wall surfaces with a fresh coat of paint? Of course you can do it by doing this, but in my viewpoint it's not suitable.
There are hundreds of paint colors with numerous tints, tones and also tones. As well as each one looks different from home to home, since source of lights differ, suggesting what looks good in your current house may not in your brand-new one.
2. Give your furnishings some breathing room.
Withstand congestion an area. Thoughtful living implies space to navigate with ease. This is truly fantastic news if you are collaborating with a tight budget. You don't need to fill out a room with lots of furnishings.
3. Hang artwork at the ideal elevation.
Galleries and also galleries hang artwork to make sure that the midline (center) of each item is 57 inches to 60 inches from the flooring. (The typical human eye level is 57 inches.) And also you ought to do the exact same.
In a room similar to this, where the ceilings soar, there could be a tendency to hang the art greater. But keep in mind: It needs to connect to human scale, not the structure's range.
4. Know ways to prepare furniture on a rug.
There are generally 3 methods you can arrange furnishings on your rug.
All on: The rug is big sufficient to position all the furnishings legs on top of it. This develops a much more lavish feeling. For this, bigger is much better. Just make certain to leave at least 12 to 18 inches of floor surface area on all four sides of the carpet's boundaries.
5. Stand up to the urge to be also theme-y.
For instance, the Cape Cod look is a very popular request. You know the characteristics: beadboard, a blue and also white maritime combination, some sailboat paintings.
6. Produce a centerpiece.
There are leading duties and also sustaining actors members in any kind of production. The same holds true in design. Pick your star and also make it the focal point to secure a room. Permit other items to take an additional duty. Don't ask everything to have a leading function; it will certainly just lead to visual sound.
Your focal point could be a significant hood in the kitchen, a mantel as well as art item in the living-room or a head board in the bed room. Whatever it is, pick something that will draw interest.
7. Consider sight lines.
Your prime focus ought to be complimentary as well as clear from one area to the next, to make sure that it seems like you're being attracted in between them. That's why the very best place for a focal point is generally straight throughout from the entry to the area.
8. Modify your antiques.
Don't hang on to an item that simply does not fit. I don't care if your great-aunt Sally gave it to you. If it's not benefiting you, after that locate a new house for it (possibly in a various space).
9. Differ the range.
What looks great in the store might appear like an elephant in the area when you bring it home. Or it's too little to be of any type of importance. So always vary scale and also proportion.
The oversize sunburst mirror framework fills out the wall room perfectly here, while the sand dollars make an interesting organizing listed below. They would be a lot as well trivial separately. 3s as well as fives make for even more pleasing setups compared to even numbers.
10. Include layers of lights.
In this kitchen area sitting location, the backsplash is lit, the artwork is highlighted as well as the cabinet interiors are filled with light. One central lighting component would certainly not have had virtually the same significant result.
Experts build layers of lighting to create passion, intrigue and also variety. In a room where whatever is lit evenly, nothing attracts attention. Choose a centerpiece and also possibly a secondary focal point as well as highlight those.
11. Be bold.
Character is exactly what makes a room great. Make your very own declaration and also enjoy. The even more you try, the extra you will certainly begin to see what jobs and also exactly what doesn't.
Include unexpected elements for dramatization. The unusual footrest seats, library-style shelfs as well as oversize chandelier below are all unforeseen in a conventional living-room, however the result has personal appeal.
12. Overlook all concepts for creativity.
Having some guidelines provides individuals a great beginning factor for providing and embellishing their residence, even if a few of them typically aren't practical for a specific area.
Choose something individual that makes you smile and also, most importantly, is comfortable. Excessively made rooms don't truly translate in contemporary life. A pillow collection and also an art plan that are relatively slipshod, as shown here, create a dressed-down appearance with lots of style.
Select your star and also make it the focal factor to secure a room. Your focal factor needs to be complimentary and clear from one area to the following, so that it feels like you're being attracted between them. That's why the best spot for a focal point is normally straight across from the entryway to the area.
If it's not working for you, then locate a brand-new house for it (perhaps in a different area).
What looks excellent in the store may look like an elephant in the area when you bring it home.

LOS ANGELES - Only minutes – and two Southern California timeouts - had expired.
Erik Folk's glance at the west-end goal posts must have seemed like it lasted an eternity – until he finally got the chance to put a dagger in another ranked Trojans team Saturday night.
His 32-yard field goal on the final play lifted Washington a 32-31 victory over 18th-ranked USC in front of stunned crowd of 82,796 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
It was the Huskies' first win at USC since 1996.

And two weeks after he was largely labeled the goat in the Huskies' lopsided loss at home to Nebraska, UW quarterback Jake Locker returned from a blow to the head to lead the Huskies on their final drive.
The biggest play came on a do-or-die, fourth-and-11 pass to receiver D'Andre Goodwin that netted an 18-yard gain with 2:08 to go.
Once Chris Polk pranced 26 yards up the gut, and into USC territory, the Huskies decided to keep it on the ground, eating up the clock for one final opportunity at a victory.
Interrupted by a timeout not once … not twice … but three times – twice by USC, and once by his own team – Folk's soaring boot split the uprights and sent the Huskies players and coaches shooting onto the field, running and yelling in celebration.
Though a bit hoarse, somehow UW coach Steve Sarkisian had enough of a voice to admit what he said to his players in the huddle before Folk nailed the game-winner.
"I told the guys … 'We're going to kick off SportsCenter, so let's go,' " Sarkisian proudly proclaimed.
It was a night when both offenses carried the mail – 1,020 total yards. USC did it on the ground with 298, led by Allen Bradford's 223 to go along with a pair of touchdowns.
The Huskies did it entirely differently, but equally proficiently. On almost every snap, they lined up in shotgun and let Locker pick apart the Trojans with his arm (310 passing yards) and legs (110 rushing yards).
"Legendary," said Sarkisian, summing up his senior's effort in what easily was the defining moment of his career.
Locker had to get off the mat, too, to get the win.
On a third-down run deep in Trojans' territory early in the fourth quarter, he twisted his body in a scrum of players trying to get the first down. As he hit the grassy surface, he was inadvertently struck by the leg of USC's Shareece Wright, snapping his head back.
Locker stayed on the ground for a few minutes before he was helped off the field by team doctors.
"I knew I was coming into the game," Locker said. "Just got my bell rung, got a little woozy, and I was fortunately able to come back."
Just not on the next play. Backup Keith Price tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to Chris Izbicki to give the Huskies a 29-28 lead.
After USC regained the lead, 31-29, on Joe Houston's 27-yard field goal with 10 minutes remaining, the Huskies appeared to hit a snag in the Trojans' territory.
On fourth-and-8 from the USC 38, Sarkisian opted to go for it. Locker had an open crease to throw to Devin Aguilar. Cornerback Brian Baucham came up and appeared to grab the receiver to knock down the pass, but no penalty was called, and USC had the ball back.
Irritated, Sarkisian threw his visor on the turf and glared at the officiating crew.
Five consecutive Bradford runs, and USC was back in UW territory. But on third-and-4, Matt Barkley's pass was deflected by a closer receiver (Jordan Cameron) when it appeared intended for Ronald Johnson in the deeper flat.
Houston's 40-yard field goal try clanked off the right upright.
"We need to finish people off," USC coach Lane Kiffin said. "Earlier in the season, we were up by more and we didn't necessarily finish them off, either. This time, it came back to get us."
Locker's fourth-down dart to Goodwin in the right flat was as clutch as they come.
"I had a post (pattern). Depending on coverage, he makes his read," Goodwin said. "We just made a play. ... I was open in the hole. He saw me. He made the play."
Polk powered up through the middle of the USC defense to the Trojans' 33, and the visitors were in business, setting up a game-winner for Folk – who nailed a 22-yarder in the final seconds last season to give the Huskies a 16-13 upset win in Seattle.
"It was really good for the confidence of our offense on the last drive," Folk said. "They knew they could drive down the field on these guys, and did exactly that.
"The whole time, I knew if I hit it well, it would go through. I had confidence in my swing, and went out there and kicked it."

I'm going to earn $1 million online. There's lots of ways to earn $1 million online, some of them are completely legitimate, while others are more sneaky. The easiest way to earn $1 million is to build a website, make it incredibly popular, then sell it to Yahoo, Google, or Microsoft.
However, I believe that you can earn $1 million online by giving people something of actual value, then asking them to help. Furthermore, I believe it's possible to do this using one computer from your home.
This blog will document my trek toward $1 million.
Object of the game: To Earn $1 Million. Specifically, I'll be setting up a PayPal account today. I'm going to win the game by having a balance of $1 million in my PayPal account. About once a month I'll post a screenshot of my PayPal account balance.
Rule #1 -- I'll spend 10 hours per week, one hour per day on weekdays, in two and half hours each on Saturday and Sunday. This truly must be a part-time job. I have a family and a real career.
Rule #2 -- I'll document everything on this blog. If I learn some cool technique, I won't keep it to myself. Good, bad or otherwise, you'll be the first to know.
Rule #3 -- Everything must be FREE (or very inexpensive). I'm starting with a free blog, I'll join free programs. Any money I spend will come directly from the PayPal account, thus reducing my profits. The exception... I already own my own domain name. I got it on godaddy.com several years ago for nine dollars.
Rule #4 -- One computer. I own several computers, but part of the goal is that you must not need to own a bank of computers.
Rule #5 -- No Special Software. Here's the software I own. Any software I need to use besides this must be available for free online. I own MS Office 2003, MS OneNote, Photoshop, MS Expression Web, Roxio, Sony Vegas, Flash, Dreamweaver, Camtasia, and PDF Complete. I'll use this software I already own, however I will try to find you free or low cost solutions.
Rule #6 -- No Special Programming. This is easy. I'm not a computer programmer. I do know how to make a decent website, but I am far from an expert. My only special skills are that a salesperson and a marketing expert. I use the Web as a tool for marketing.
Rule #7 -- No Illegal Activity. I won't do anything illegal. Immoral, reprehensible, disgusting, maybe... but nothing illegal.
The final rule. Don't follow all the rules. Let's go.

Should Your SEO Strategy Target the Head or Long Tail?There are times when I have to roll my eyes. Usually, it's when prospects tell me they want to hire an SEO firm so their site will get ranked for one highly competitive keyword. After I take a deep breath, I prepare myself for the discussion that's about to take place. It starts with an explanation of optimizing for "head" queries, or the most popular terms; and "long tail" search optimization, for queries which are less popular, but collectively drive a large amount of traffic. Certainly, the head of search can really move the needle for some companies. For retailers, the tail of search (people searching for a specific product/product model number, etc.) can effectively drive highly targeted traffic that converts very well. I understand companies want to rank for that one highly competitive keyword -- and there are ways to achieve that ranking. Here's where search gets really interesting, though. If you're focused on ranking for that one major keyword, having a deep Web site full of great content is necessary to achieve authority in the eyes of the search engine. So, even if you didn't intend to do it, you'll be optimizing for the tail in order to achieve your goals for the head. Making Heads and Tails of TripAdvisor Let's take a look at an example, using a Web site that I often refer to, but have no affiliation with whatsoever, TripAdvisor:
- Huge site: More than 35 million pages indexed in Yahoo.
- Title tag of home page: "Reviews of vacations, hotels, resorts, vacation and travel packages - TripAdvisor." (From this, I assume their most important keyword is "Reviews of vacations.")
- Ranking for "Reviews of Vacations": Number one on Google, number one on Yahoo.
- Title tag of a local hotel page: "Hotel Palomar Dallas - a Kimpton Hotel (Dallas, TX) - Hotel Reviews - TripAdvisor." (From this, I assume the most important keyword is "Hotel Palomar Dallas.")
- Ranking for "Hotel Palomar Dallas": number three on Google, number five on Yahoo.

Microsoft's most profitable mobile operating system: Android
Diposting oleh Rizky Susanto , 21.38 Be the first to comment!
To some, Windows 8 is a marketplace failure. But its flop has been nothing compared to Microsoft's problems in getting anyone to use its Windows Phone operating systems. You don't need to worry about Microsoft's bottom line though. Thanks to its Android patent agreements, Microsoft may be making as much as $8 per Android device. This could give Microsoft as much as $3.4 billion in 2013 from Android sales.
Years of trying, running Nokia into the ground as a de facto Microsoft sub-division, and Windows Phone still has no marketshare worth speaking about. (Image: NetMarketShare)
There's nothing new about this. Microsoft has been making hundread of millions a year from android since 2011. Where do these profits come from? Patent licenses. And if vendors don't want to pay, Microsoft will threaten patent lawsuits. Sometimes, Microsoft even follows up with an actual lawsuit
The object, however, isn't to win in court. In recent months, Microsoft has convinced Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics OEM, Nikon, ZTE, and numerous other Android OEMs that it's cheaper to pay off Microsoft by acquiring a patent license than it is to fight them in a lawsuit.
Today, only Motorola Mobility, a division of Google and Huawei, Remain free of the microsoft-android intellecttual-property (IP) Tax. In a statement to Dow Jones Business News, Google spokesman Matt Kallman said: "This is the same tactic we've seen time and again from Microsoft. Instead of building great new products, Microsoft attacks the competition, and tries to drive up the prices of Android devices for consumers."
No case has ever been successfully made for any of Microsoft's undisclosed patents that are being used to profit from Android, but that's not what is important for businesses. The bottom line is that it's usually. Cheaper to pay off patent trolls than it is figt them in court. Whether Microsoft's publicly undisclosed patents are valid or have any relevance to Android is beside the point.
That's why Motorola Mobility's patent lawsuit against Microsoft is anything but done. In today's legal climate, the biggest companies use patents to battle over market share and patent licensing. Nokia, Microsoft, and Oracle's attempt to knock Android out of the European Union market as "a below-cost Trojan Horse", is simply another tactic in their legal attempts to win profits from a market where Microsoft is unable to compete with its products.
Eventually, if Google is successful, then the Microsoft's Android patent tax will be contracted away in sealed settlement documents. Until that day, Microsoft will continue to profit from mobile operating systems — it just won't be from its own failed mobile operating system.
