Carter Ratcliff [USA]
Born in Seattle, Washington, Carter Ratcliff grew up in Michigan and Ohio. In 1963, he earned a B.A. in English from the University of Chicago. By 1967, he had settled in New York and found his way into the milieu of the St. Mark's Poetry Project. His poems first appeared in The World, the Poetry Project magazine. Early in the 1970s, he conducted one of the Project's poetry workshops.
With the publication of his gallery reviews in Artnews, in 1969, Ratcliff joined the ranks of those New York poets who pursue a second career as art critics. Since then his art writing has appeared in major art journals in the United States and abroad, and in catalogues published by major American and European museums.
His books on art include John Singer Sargent (Abbeville Press, 1982); Robert Longo (Rizzoli, 1985); The Fate of a Gesture: Jackson Pollock and Postwar American Art (Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1996); Out of the Box: The Reinvention of Art, 1965-1975 (Allworth Press, 2001); and Andy Warhol: Portraits (Phaidon Press, 2007).
Ratcliff has received a Poets Foundation grant, 1969; an Art Critics grant, NEA, 1972 and 1976; a Guggenheim Fellowship, 1976; and the Frank Jewett Mather Award for Art Criticism, College Art Association, 1987. His editorial positions include Editorial Associate, Artnews, 1969-1972; Advisory Editor, Art International, 1970-1975; Contributing Editor, Art in America, 1976 to the present; Contributing Editor, Saturday Review, 1980-1982; Editorial board, Sculpture Magazine, 1992 to the present; and Contributing Editor, Art on Paper, 2001 to present.
Though Ratcliff has said, "My poems are all love poems," his poetry ranges over many themes and subjects, among them landscape and, in particular, the American sense of space; the interplay of poetry and painting; politics, with an emphasis on questions of individual agency; the nature of narrative, as exemplified by such genres as the detective story and the political thriller; figures of ancient myth and tragedy; and the characters of the commedia dell'arte. "A quality of language brings with it an intuition of character," says Ratcliff. "When I put my sense of another's voice into play I am brought by a roundabout path to the full range of my own interests. This is anything but mysterious. The dramatic monologue is about as transparent as a fiction can be. To elaborate it—to speak in a variety of obviously made-up voices—is to stay alive to something we all know, that meaning is not only a work in progress but a perennial collaboration between oneself and all the others who inhabit one's landscape."

The Raven Was Right
The earth circles the sun,
not the sun the earth. I suspected as much,
though I can't imagine what circles the raven
or what the raven circles, and, oh, I forgot,
your ex-boyfriend called,
he wants you back.
He wants to be your shadow.
Love is hard,
and harder still to classify. Is it an object, a theory, a form
like a sonnet or form like a villa or a palindrome? Who knows,
and why not? Are we all too hopelessly eroded
by whatever the measure of charisma we still possess?
Is everything the fault of the motion picture camera?
sigh the powers that were
and would like to regain their old preeminence, the glamor
and the glory of the one that flings the many into shadow, and, oh, I forgot
your ex-girl friend called, she wants to be your many shadows
and I guess you must know, by now, your old place is for rent again,
and all that is fair in love is still too stubborn to give war a chance, still refuses
to give even name, rank and serial number.
Is that because love is so rare,
so unlike other things, or is it, au contraire,
too like all those other things?
Leaving the arcade and turning south,
the personage stumbled but never fell, never
came anywhere near falling, in song or story, despite the moral disaster
the world underwent just then, more by coincidence
than for any reason that need engage a mind as dreamy as yours,
my darling, my pretext for opening my eyes
in the morning, in the evening, whenever I want, because why not?
I leave it to the moth who circles my head like a flame
to remind me that you left me
years ago, before time began and reminders
were ever necessary, and I can't imagine who reminds the moth of her task,
what infinitely versatile thing takes the trouble to do so, to be the world
that invites us to love the truce that we have made with it.

Sundance with Canada Goose
wearing CG Chelsea Parka and Savona Bomber
If you were to have told me five years ago that I would have the opportunity to attend Sundance Film Festival, I would've thought you were crazy. And yet, here I am, coming off an amazing trip to Sundance, where I got to attend films, try my hand at skiing (for the first time in years) and explore the quaint town of Park City, Utah.
For those of you that might not know, Sundance is the largest independent film festival in the US with close to 50,000 attendees. Films from all over the world get submitted and viewed and have the opportunity to win awards. And I'm typically a big fan of smaller, lesser known films. So having the chance to view them often months before they are released was pretty incredible. Also, I was lucky enough to attend the festival with Canada Goose.
Canada Goose is known as the "(un)official jacket of film crews everywhere its cold". And let me tell you- these jackets are warm! They were perfect for all the exploring, skiing, and film watching we did. Also, we got to explore the Canada Goose Base Camp, which was set up exactly like their Base Camp in Antarctica. Base Camp serves as festival hub giving attendees welcoming place to hang out.
It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you Canada Goose!

Stick Spiders by Stuart
Copyright ©1998 by TC-Nature
INTRODUCTION: The
Stick spider is also known as the ogre-faced spider because it has two
enormous round eyes like an ogre. Its scientific name is Deinopidae
Dienopis. This spider looks like a small clump of twigs when it rests
during the day. The female is about 25mm in body length and the male is
about 12mm. It is a rusty brown colour with two humps halfway down the
abdomen. This spider holds its legs in pairs so it looks like it only
has four legs. The male is slender and has large palps.
HABITAT : The
Stick spider lives in the warmer parts of USA, Central and South
America, Africa and Australia. It can be found amongst bushes, shrubs
and tall grass in cool locations along creeks and streams or among rock
shelters. They can also be found in cities, in patches of tall grass or
flowers at the bottom of gardens.
PREY: The Stick spider eats
flies, butterflies, beetles, insects and sometimes each other. The Stick
spider catches its prey at night because there are a lot of insects
about and their eyes are good for night vision. It has developed a
special way of catching prey.
BREEDING: Summer
is the Stick spiders mating season. The male now has no interest in
eating and spends all his time looking for a female. This is the most
important task of his life. The female produces two to four egg sacs
each containing 60 to 100 eggs. The egg sacs are 10mm in diameter and
are yellow-brown in colour with tiny black spots. They hang from a plant
of blade of grass. The female doesn't do any hunting during this stage
and dies just before the spiderlings hatch. The spiderlings crawl out of
a hole in the top of the sac. They are hardly ever seen because their
camouflage is so good.
VENOM: Stick spiders
can bite but they are harmless to humans. When the spider has caught its
prey in its web and wrapped it into a package it then bites its prey
paralysing it with its poisonous venom.

River Health Auditing
Just this week the federal government released its River Health Audit. Out of the 23 river valleys listed, only one is gets a positive tick. The quality of other major rivers in Australia is deemed 'poor' and 'very poor' - 13 river systems are described as 'very poor'.
The government's first solution is to blame the previous government while allocating $3.1 billion to buy back water towards restoring the health of the waterways. Buy back water?
The bigger issue of combatting climate change is also part of the restoration program - but there was no discussion of how this is to be achieved. With less rain, reduced water flow, lowered water quality, and a demand for irrigation, what is the future for these wild rivers?
River water is valuable - so valuable in fact that it is sold off. This means that for the river itself, and the ecosystem services that depend on a health water flow, are under threat from severe degradation.
River revival projects are underway all over the country. What is crucial about these projects is support from local residents and water users. Ecological and scientific experts are working with the community, first gauging knowledges the community holds about the riverine ecosystem, their attitudes towards the stakeholder engagement process, and the values held about the river and river environment quality.
Important in this process is an understanding of community values on issues such as aesthetics, water quality, recreational amenity, pollution, riverbank health, native vegetation and wildlife. For example, a study of river attitudes about restoration on the Cooks River in NSW by Andrews and Smith (2006) found that the community was generally aware of the link between the presence of vegetation and river health and most understood the connection between dense vegetation and river quality when compared to more open space river surroundings.
The study also showed that residents thought that native vegetation along the river added to the river's beauty in comparison to their attitudes about 'enhancing the ecology of the place'. And of interest to Brisbane River environs, the study found that while most residents held a positive attitude towards the recolonisation of mangroves along the river, others were 'displeased' about loss of view and river access due to the dense growth.

Here is the info for the new nominees!
Have a great Friday everyone! And a new post coming soon, I just swatched OPI's Linkin Park After Dark in Swede, sooo pretty!
Hi lovelies! Once I hit 75 likes on Facebook I will be giving away a bottle of Butter London nail polish! Be sure to head over to my Facebook page and share with your friends!
What are you Wearing Wednesday
Tell me what you are Wearing this Wonderful Wednesday! Today I have on OPI's Russian Navy that I picked up from Ulta. They have buy two get a top/base coat free and I had a coupon for $3.50 off a purchase of $10 or more so I got 3 bottles of OPI for $13.50. SCORE!
I am loving this color. It has a deep blue with a hit of purple to it, very pretty and sophisticated.
Green to Blue Gradient
I attempted doing a gradient mani this weekend. It was surprisingly easy. I started of with some makeup sponges I picked up at CVS and two Spoiled colors; I'm So Jaded, a pretty sparkly neon green and Plenty of Fish in the Sea.
I painted my nails with I'm So Jaded first and let it dry. Let it dry completely, if you try to do this while your base coat is tacky it won't work! After my base was dry I brushed I'm So Jaded on the sponge and then Plenty of Fish in the Sea right above it with the two colors overlapping just a bit. The sponge soaked up a bit the first time and I needed to add to get more contrast but after you do your first nail the sponge will get a bit saturated. After you have it brushed on just bounce the sponge up and down on your nail a few times untill you get the look you want. It will look bumpy and stippled, its ok! Just take your favorite top coat (mine is seche vite) and apply, it will smooth out and blend a little bit better. This worked really well but I think next time I might paint my tips the darker color before I do the sponging, I think it will have more contrast than just the one base color. One more thing, it is messy. It took a bit of clean up to get them looking decent, if you were doing very dark colors maybe tape off around your nails first to aid with clean up.
You can see a bit of the shimmer in this picture but the camera flash kind of bleached out the color contrast.
Overall it was quick, painless and really fun! I can't wait to experiment with some more colors. Will this be something you are trying this spring/summer?
(please excuse my pictures, our camera is packed up and all I have is my cell phone camera. They will get better soon, I promise!)
Frozen Flame by Rainbow Honey
Wow, I love this nail polish! The packaging was AWESOME, I didn't want to open it. The polish was super easy to apply and the glitter was abundant. I did 3 thin coats because I like glitter! 🙂
I couldn't decide on a color so I did each nail a differently.
The index in Julep Charlotte, the middle finger is China Glaze turned up turquoise, the ring finger is Sephora by Opi (unknown name) and the pinky is Spoiled permission to proceed. I smoothed everything over with 2 coats of Seche Vite.
I had this mani on for about a week. It held up great, minimal tip wear and chips. I was sad to take it off, it was so fun!
Here is my thumb with the only orange polish I have, its from a Nail Ritz nail art kit. 😛 ( im not a big orange fan) But I did love this!
You can buy Rainbow Honey on Etsy. She is currently on vacation but will be back 5/4. Hey, that's Friday!
Oh and here is a picture of the awesome double rainbow that I saw over the weekend. How funny, it fits perfectly with this post! ha-ha 🙂
Nail Mail!
I received my polish from Rainbow Nails today! I wanted to conduct a quick poll and let you all decide what color I try the polish over!
Told you I couldn't decide! It's to beautiful!!

And don't forget about the China Glaze line dedicated to The Hunger Games. Which district will you be rocking this weekend?
I love Stone Cold and Smoke and Ashes.
Oh and just for fun … check out these cookies by Lizy B
Sally Hansen DVD
I've had the Sally Hansen Hd Hi-Def color in DVD for a while. The first time I used the color I put it over a purple polish, I thought it would bring out all the great colors but it had the opposite effect. It was dull and unexciting. I was expecting fabulous colors from the look of the bottle.
I picked up China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise the other day at Sally Beauty Supply (China Glaze is 2 bottle for $10 this month)and used it for a stamp manicure the other day. I'm not going to share any pictures from that manicure, it turned out awful! Turned Up Turquoise has a matte finish, which I was not expecting and you have to be carefull with the application. The first time I used it over Wet-n-Wild French White, because the nail polish is a neon, but I think I didn't allow it to dry enough before I applied the Turned Up Turquoise because after I applied my Seche Vite top coat I had major nail polish shrinkage. Ugh…. so ugly. But I really love this color so I thought I would give it another try. I was swatching a couple nails deciding what I wanted to do with my nails last night when I tried putting it under DVD. Well, it turned out pretty awesome! It shifts from turquoise, to blue, and then purple! Its bright, springy and I have been staring at my nails all day. Im glad I gave both of these colors another try.

San Diego brewers are feeling heightened frustration over a new rule proposed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that could impact their businesses – as well as trickle down onto farmers.
The FDA's proposed rule would make it harder for breweries to sell leftover grains – an alcohol-free, edible byproduct of beer – to farmers who use it as animal feed. The rule imposes new sanitary handling procedures, record keeping and other food safety processes on the part of livestock and pet food manufacturers.
If adopted, the rule could force brewers to dump their wet grain into landfills instead of selling it to farmers to use as cheap livestock feed, or force brewers take extra time to dry it out and package it before allowing farmers to use it.
Some brewers believe the proposed rule is burdensome and unnecessary, and goes against the grain of the longstanding relationship between brewers and farmers.
At San Diego's Karl Strauss Brewery some brewmasters, including Paul Segura, are hopping mad over the idea.
"It's frustrating and puzzling – and curious to us," Segura said.
The Karl Strauss facility generates 16,000 pounds of spent grain each day. In turn, this grain helps feed 750 cows belonging to a local dairy farmer.
Segura worries that drying out the grain could prove costly and time-consuming.
"It means extra costs, extra equipment, extra processes and extra people. All sorts of added expenses that weren't there before," he explained.
It could also lead to a serious buzzkill for consumers if those costs creep into the price of future cold ones.
Krystina Cook, owner of Cook Pigs Ranch, said the price of pork could also go up as well, considering it takes more than 2,000 pounds of spent grain to feed the more than 500 pigs on her ranch in Julian, Calif.
"We rely on that [grain] every week to fill in with other feed products and the amount of money we'll have to spend to recover that is a lot. It's sad," she told NBC 7.
The FDA is supposed to make a decision on this new rule sometime this summer.

Talons fall to 1-10 after loss at Philly
Philadelphia 76, Talons 40
The Soul scored 28 points in the first eight minutes of the game, and the rout was on in Philadelphia as the Talons dropped their fifth straight Sunday and fell to 1-10 on the season.
The Talons were outgained in the first period 93-21, as the Soul scored on two passes from quarterback Dan Raudabaugh, an interception and a fumble recovery in the end zone.
The Talons recovered with three second quarter TD passes from Shane Boyd — two to Doug Pierce and the other to David Little. But the Soul scored on all of its possessions as well for a 56-20 halftime lead.
Boyd finished with 270 yards on 19-38 passing. Pierce led the receivers with nine receptions for 109 yards.
Raudabaugh was 14-of-17 passing for 224 yards and five scores. Tiger Jones had four of the TD receptions.
Notebook: Kelvin Rodgers of the Talons, the Arena League's interceptions leader, picked off his ninth at the end of the third period, his fourth straight game with a pick. ... Wide receiver PJ Berry returned after missing the Portland game and caught three passes for 47 yards. ... Raudabaugh hit his first nine passes and 11 of 13 in the first half for 168 yards and four TDs.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (KABC) --The Laguna Beach City Council on Tuesday is expected to consider legislation that would expand the city's smoking ban, which currently affects locations such as public parks and beaches.
If approved, the new ordinance would prohibit smoking on sidewalks, in bike paths, and in alleyways and common areas of apartment complexes.
Laguna Beach received an "F" grade from the American Lung Association because it does not have strict smoking bans.
The proposed law would apply to e-cigarettes, smoke vaporizers and marijuana products. Smoking would still be permitted in residential dwellings and inside vehicles.
Nearby Laguna Woods already has a similar ban in place. Municipalities such as Santa Monica and Hermosa Beach have effectively instated citywide bans on smoking.
If the Laguna Beach legislation is passed, "no smoking" and "smoke-free" signs would be posted in relevant areas. Fines ranging from $100 to $500 would be enforced, depending on the number of offenses.
The proposed ordinance has prompted expressions of doubt from some city council members, who noted that Laguna Beach attracts crowds of international tourists who are accustomed to smoking in public.
Proponents of the expanded ban point out that foreign tourists also flock to Hermosa Beach and Santa Monica, which have been able to effectively enforce such bans.
The council is scheduled to discuss the proposal at its 6 p.m. meeting on Tuesday.

Prince Is In The House
Seems like I have been seeing a lot of Prince lately. A few weeks ago he was on Jimmy Fallon with his new band 3rd Eye Girl performing his new song, Screwdriver, and delivering a blistering guitar smashing rendition of his classic, Bambi. He presented the Record Of The Year at the Grammys. There is supposed to be a new album and a tour. Now he is performing at SXSW…It's definitely getting way too funky up in here!

The present church dates, in part, from the 12th century and contains some rare 14th century glass with drawings of birds and a 12th century font carved with salamanders said to have been given by King Richard 1st as thanks for the Abbott of Robertsbridge helping to raise his ransom when he was captured on his way home from the Crusades. In the graveyard there are table tombs with terracotta plaques by Jonathon Harmer.
Robertsbridge is not mentioned in Domesday but is now the main business and residential centre of the parish. The reason for this is the river Rother, or rather the bridge over it.
Sometime in the 12th century a Cistercian Abbey was founded within the parish of Salehurst on a site believed to be somewhere close to the present George Inn. At that time the usual method of crossing the river was by ford or ferry somewhere close to the church. Around the latter part of the 12th century the founder of the abbey, Robert de St. Martin, built a bridge over the Rother about a half mile west of the church; this was roughly where the present bridge known as The Clappers is located. At various times in the past suggestions have been made, notably by Hillaire Belloc, a frequent visitor to the village, that the name Robertsbridge is a corruption of Rother Bridge but two pieces of evidence seem to show conclusively that this is not correct. Firstly, the first mention of the name is in an abbey document from the 13th century which refers to Pons Roberti, the Latin for Robert's Bridge and secondly, at the time of the bridge's construction the river was known as the Limm!
With most of the traffic by-passing the old village in order to use the new bridge, the centres of growth occurred around the northern and southern ends of the bridge and subsequently became the settlements of Northbridge Street and Robertsbridge. By the 16th century the basic layout of the village had evolved and this can be clearly seen in the many timber-framed buildings lining both sides of the High Street, which date from this period.
With the growth of the village, the abbey moved to site about 1 mile east of Robertsbridge and south of the river opposite the church at Salehurst. The remains of the abbey are on private land and the Abbott's House dating from the 15th century is now incorporated into a private residence.
The parish is the most ancient type of local government unit in Europe, and in England it has been used for some civil purposes since the eighth century. The present parish and community system, redefined and modernised in 1974, is the latest version of a local system that has been developing since the sixteenth century. Under Elizabeth 1 the parish was the area for poor law administration and thereafter miscellaneous powers were given to a number of different authorities operating within the ancient boundaries.
In 1834 the poor law authorities began to group parishes into Unions, and as the original ecclesiastical units remained for church purposes, a distinction was soon recognised between civil and ecclesiastical parishes, as well as between their respective functions in the parish. However, the civil functions had grown up haphazardly to meet particular needs, and were committed to the management of the body which at the time of their creation seemed the most appropriate. By 1894 it was common for six differently constituted parish authorities to exercise different functions in the same place. These authorities included the incumbent, the church-wardens, the overseers, various combinations of these, rural sanitary boards, highway boards and the vestry. In addition, many parishes had special Acts of Parliament and ancient local customs.
The Local Government Act of 1894 created institutions having civil origin, status and affiliations - the parish meeting and the parish council and transferred the civil functions of the older authorities to the new institutions leaving ecclesiastical functions to the Church authorities. In this way Church and State at parish level were separated. The new civil authorities divided between them the powers appropriate to a local authority, while the authorities of the ecclesiastical parish were confined to church affairs and ecclesiastical charities. In 1920 these latter authorities were modernised and most of their administrative functions were given to parochial church councils.
The considerations affecting the drawing of civil and ecclesiastical boundaries naturally differ, and the power to redraw them is vested in different authorities. Hence the areas of parishes respectively for church and local government have mostly ceased to coincide.
The Local Government Act of 1972 made further changes and in pursuit of the principle that the differences between town and country should be diminished, arrangements were made to enable former boroughs and urban districts to become parishes. In England parishes can exist everywhere except in Greater London, but in practice most parishes are in the countryside, in small towns, or on the edge of conurbations but not all parishes have councils.
The Act also modernised functions and procedures by abolishing all but two of the limitations on expenditure, as well as controls previously exercised by parish meetings over powers, borrowing and dealings in land. It also conferred many new powers, and rights. Of the latter the most important is probably the right to be notified of all planning applications although, the parish only has power to comment on applications, approval or rejection is for the appropriate Planning Authority - Rother District Council or East Sussex County Council.
Additionally provision was made for later changes so that parish and community boundaries could be adjusted and new parishes created. As part of this regular review of parishes, some small changes to the boundaries of our parish were made in 1999 and at the suggestion of the Parish Council, the name was changed from the Parish of Salehurst to the Parish of Salehurst & Robertsbridge to reflect the area covered.
The parish council is part of the three tiers of Local Government which comprises Parish Council; District (Rother)and County Council (East Sussex). There are 9 councillors elected every 4 years. Councillors are unpaid but have the services of two part-time, paid members of staff: the Clerk to the Council (20 hours) and Assistant Clerk (15 hours).
The Council meets in public on the 3rd Monday in the months of January, March, May, July, October and November and additionally when required. A period for public questions or suggestions is allowed at the start of each meeting. Additionally, Planning Committee meetings are held on the 1st Thursday of every month. Notice of meetings is displayed on the parish notice boards one week before the meeting and minutes of the meetings are published on the parish notice board and additionally on the internet.
There is also a Parish Assembly in April which is not a Council meeting, but a meeting for the electors of the parish. It is chaired by the Chairman of the Parish Council, who gives a summary of the year's activities. District and County Councillors usually attend these meetings and report on the activities of their respective Councils, and local groups and organisations are invited to have tables/displays. It is an opportunity to 'showcase' what Robertsbridge has to offer, and to meet the elected representatives and ask questions.
The Council has the powers to raise income by means of a precept levied on households in the parish and this is collected together with Council Tax by Rother District Council. The Council precept and expenditure is, of course, monitored annually by independent auditors.
The precept has to cover all the expenses of the parish; this includes the staff salaries, public lighting, maintenance of the parish cemetery (this is quite separate from the churchyard) and maintenance of public open spaces such as the Clappers Recreation Ground. The Council also owns and maintains 3 other areas of public open space - Bishops Meadow, Pipers Field and Jubilee Garden and the 'Pocket Park' which adjoins the recreation ground.
In addition, the council supplements the grass cutting within the village centre to improve the standard adopted by County and District Councils and also employs contractors on an ad hoc basis to deal more quickly with some of the smaller jobs which arise around the village.
The Council is able to borrow money (with the approval of the Secretary of State) to pay for larger items of expenditure than are possible in one year's precept. This has enabled us in the past to improve the children's play equipment and build the football pavilion and provide public toilets at the recreation ground. The money required to repay a loan is included in the precept (there are currently no loans outstanding).
The Council also supports on an ad hoc basis other things which it considers of benefit to the parish: for example, it has supported the children's summer play scheme, the skate ramp and basket ball court for young people, made a contribution to the Millennium Wood and to the Millennium celebrations and gives small donations to other bodies such as Battle Area Community Transport, Rural Rother Trust, Air Ambulance etc. which it considers are of benefit to the village and also gives grants to village organisations such as Scouts and Brownies for specific projects. In addition, it pays the cost of road closures for the annual bonfire celebrations and Xmas Capers.

A Q&A with Gal Shachor, newly appointed Distinguished Engineer at IBM Research – Haifa.
Gal is one of the pioneering founders of WebSphere. His current work focuses on architecture and innovation for mobile computing platforms.
How did the industry – and IBM – make the move to mobile computing and how were you involved?
Gal Shachor: In 1996, contrary to the advice I got from many people, I decided to create a servlet container called "servlet express," designed to extend the capabilities of web servers that host applications. This was one of the first servlet containers in the market and later became a vital part of the WebSphere Application Server. I'm fond of this project because it was a tremendous innovation at that time – enabling connection and extension points to all the major web servers that existed.
But that was more than 15 years ago, when the Internet started to change from a technology that was helpful but on the sidelines, to a critical part of how we work and do business (and we delivered WebSphere).
Now – just in the last couple of years – we are seeing a similar change starting in the mobile arena. Similar to what happened in the late 1990s on the web, clients are now asking us for solutions that can help them manage mobile applications in the enterprise; more easily develop new applications; and provide security for all these apps.
How did you personally move to working in mobile?
GS: Before getting into mobile, I worked on form-based applications and user interfaces that make it easy for business people and analysts to build their own web applications. One after another, clients started asking what we're doing for mobile applications. With so many requests, it was clear the market was evolving and clients badly needed a way to move their processes over to mobile.
What challenges is the industry facing with the use of mobile in the workplace?
GS: With so many people now using their personal mobile devices to help with work tasks, enterprises need tighter management capabilities for the applications being used. And the IBM mobile platform provides just that.
As part of our work on the mobile platform, IBM provides a shell (software interface) that businesses can use to add capabilities that force the user to upgrade, block threats, register applications, and provide security. The IT department can add restrictions, run updates, and manage notifications. We also provide the enterprise with tools to more easily develop mobile applications that meet their new emerging business needs.
What kind of mobile opportunities exist in the enterprise space?
GS: We have two possible scenarios: business to employee (B2E) and business to consumer (B2C). For company employees accessing corporate data, their mobile devices need to be managed and applications need to be vended from a corporate app store. This is a large market, especially with new apps being developed first for mobile and then for the desktop.
The second direction is the business to consumer (B2C) opportunity. For example, an insurance company might give their customers a mobile app they can use to fill out data at the scene of a car accident. Both scenarios represent huge market opportunities due to the tremendous flood of mobile devices into our everyday lives.
Note: Gal Shachor is a Distinguished Engineer and Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM Research Haifa. He published the book JSP Tag Libraries, along with numerous patents and papers. He is also the recipient of several IBM corporate awards for his work

Children have elected President Barack Obama to a second term, in Nickelodeon's 2012 Kids Pick the President voting.
More than half a million votes were cast in the network's online poll this time around. President Obama received 65% of the vote and former Governor Mitt Romney received 35%, Nickelodeon reported.
Four years ago, a much bigger, franchise record, 2.2 million votes were cast in what Nickelodeon notes is not a scientific poll; Sen. Barack Obama was declared the winner, with 51 percent of the vote to Sen. John McCain's 49 percent.
Voting was down because this year, for the first time, Nickelodeon limited voting to one vote per electronic device, in order to "more closely replicate the actual election, and to ensure the results were more authentic," though kids were able to cast their votes online from Oct. 15-22.
We won't know for a couple weeks if this "more authentic" methodology gummed up Nickelodeon's near-perfect predicting record.
The special has come to loom large-ish because in some circles (gambling ones, for instance) it's become a kind of bellweather poll.
There's also no telling how voting might have been affected by Romney's decision to decline to participate in the accompanying "Kids Pick the President" TV special.
Romney declined to participate by sitting down to be taped answering kids' questions.
Only once before has a candidate declined to participate in the TV special.
Back in '04, Sen. John Kerry declined to participate. Ironically, that year the kids picked Kerry to win — the only time they got it wrong.
"It's important to take note of who won the 'Kids' Vote,' simply because so many kids vote the way their parents will," Linda Ellerbee, the exec producer and also the special's host, said back in '08.

Hogan Lovells Publications | Routledge Modise | 09 April 2013
Helping Victims of Violence
During our Valentine's Day meeting with the women of Ikhaya Lethemba – a centre for the care of women and children who are impacted by violence – we were approached by a number of women who found themselves in desperate situations and needed legal assistance. On 14 March 2013, Michal Johnson returned to Ikhaya Lethemba to meet with these women. She gave advice and provided assistance to:
- A woman who had vacated her own home due to her husband's violence and now needed to evict him from the property so that she and their children could return.
- A mother whose young child had been raped by their landlord.
- A café owner whose husband was trying to intimidate her and prevent her from running her business.
- A woman who is registered as being married to a man she has never met.
- A mother whose husband refuses to assist her in looking after their children.
These women were given advice or referred to other organisations; some were taken on as clients of the firm. These vulnerable members of society are victims of violence who have been removed from their homes or had to vacate them. Assisting these women has allowed Routledge Modise the privilege of helping women who are trying to stand up against their abusers.

|Portrait of Penelope Fitzgerald
by Jane Brown, via The Guardian
For example, this meal from the opening pages of Chapter 30 "Sophie's Likeness":
The servants had already brought in the soups, one made of beer, sugar and eggs, one of rose-hips and onions, one of bread and cabbage water, one of cows' udders flavoured with nutmeg. There was dough mixed with beech-nut-oil, pickled herrings and goose with treacle sauce, hard-boiled eggs, numerous dumplings. It is dangerous—on this, at least, all Germany's physicians were agreed—not to keep the stomach full at all times.And here is the start of Chapter 38 "Karoline at Gruningen":
Good appetite!
A towering Alp of boiled potatoes, trailing long drifts of steam, was placed in the exact centre of the table, so that all might spear away at it with outstretched silver forks. Rapidly, as though in an avalanche, it subsided into ruin.
"I don't want you to look at me now, Herr Maler," Sophie called across the table [Maler is an artist commissioned by Novalis to paint Sophie]. "Don't study me now, I am about to fill my mouth."
|There are still Kesselfleisch festivals to this day in Germany
Even Tennstedt had its fair, specialising in Kesselfleisch—the ears, snout and strips of fat from the pig's neck boiled with peppermint schnaps. Great iron kettles dispersed the odours of pig sties and peppermint. There was a music of sorts, and the stall-keepers, who had come in from the country, danced with each other to keep warm. Karoline had been accustomed to go to the fair at first with her uncle, then with her uncle and step-aunt, and she did so again this year. — A fine young woman still, what a pity she has no affianced to treat her to a pig's nostril!RELATED POSTS:

Learning that she married someone else just about killed him, he wanted to be the one waiting at the end of the aisle for her, but at the time he knew he couldn't give her the life she wanted so he had to just walk away. But now that her situation has changed, all bets are off, and he isn't about to walk away without the girl this time!!
I have been anxiously awaiting for the opportunity to dive back into this series and get better acquainted with another one of Ms. Proby's endearing characters, and I have to say that I loved this literary trip just as much as the first!! The minute I started it, I felt my addiction pickup right where I left it after finishing the first book in the series, and after a few paragraphs into it it was like I'd never left, everything blended together seamlessly! From the moment Landon stepped into the picture I knew it was only a matter of time before I would lose my heart to him, his caring and possessive nature lured me in and had me hanging onto his every word... he had me at his mercy from start to finish! I loved everything about this story, it's one of those reads that taps into your emotions, and lingers with you long after the last page is turned... and in my book it doesn't get much better than that!!
If you like your reads a little on the naughty side, full of heart and a little humor too, than this series is definitely right up your alley!! Highly recommend it!!

Making fun of history has been a good gig for quite a while. I grew up reading Richard Armour's fractured retellings of history-book standards, such as It All Started with Columbus, and of course Mad Magazine was a reliable source of misinformation. (The Marx/Marx Brothers and Lenin/Lennon confusion lingered for an embarrassingly long time, thanks to them.) And then there is Blackadder, a show whose humor content scales directly with the viewer's knowledge of British history.
Mock history has proven to be a fertile vein on the web as well. It's hard to find anyone who doesn't love Kate Beaton's Hark, A Vagrant. Reading her irreverent takes on historical topics is sort of like sitting in the back of class drawing moustaches on the Founding Fathers.
Beaton's comics are pretty minimalist. Her style is deliberately loose, each comic is a single-page gag, and the gags reliably turn popular concepts of history on their head, mostly showing iconic figures acting in ignoble (but funny!) ways. Her brand of humor, of course, depends on the reader understanding the setup instantly, so she generally sticks with recognizable characters (although we south-of-the-border types appreciate her explanatory notes on Canadian history).
Not so with Sydney Padua; the title characters in her loose series of comics, The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, are not household names in most homes. Ada Lovelace was the daughter of the poet Byron and is regarded by historians as the first computer programmer; Charles Babbage designed, but never built, the first programmable computer. Both lived in Victorian times and were quirky but somewhat less exciting than Padua makes them seem in her action-packed steampunk comic.
In Padua's fevered imagination, the pipe-smoking Ada and rather more diffident Charles do build a Difference Machine, a steampunk version of a computer, and they use it to resolve the financial crisis of 1837 and impress Queen Victoria. The comics are funny in an escalating-chaos kind of way with some computer humor on the side that most peopel will get, and Padua's confident style works well with her complicated subject matter. One of the things I like the best about this comic, though, is her extensive historical notes and her delight in finding new and odd facts about Babbage and Lovelace (who certainly do offer plenty of scope for that sort of thing). I do wish that she would take all this a bit more seriously as a webcomic and introduce such modern conveniences as a "next" button, but I guess I'm happy that someone is doing this at all.
Dylan Meconis's Bite Me is a vampire comedy set in the French Revolution. I'm already on record as being a fan of Meconis's more serious historical comic Family Man. Bite Me, is an earlier comic, and although some characters overlap, the feel is totally different—it's a comedy drawn in a loose, comic-book style. Think rollicking, bawdy 18th-century humor, with vampires thrown in. The story is pretty straightforward: Claire, a serving wench in a French inn, takes a liking to Lucien, a mysterious visitor who sleeps all day—in the wine cellar. When Lucien's desire for a snack overtakes him, he brings Claire over to the dark side and she leaves her dead-end job to help Lucien and the abrasive Ginevra free their vampire castle from a rapacious noble. The story moves slowly at first, but Meconis tosses in plenty of gags and side trips to keep the readers entertained. The humor is witty and knowingly anachronistic, and like most real historical figures, Meconis's vivid characters are more interested in their own preoccupations than in the events swirling around them.
Each of these comics is a nudge to the ribs of the educated reader. They puncture the iconic images we were presented with in school, reimagining historical figures as actual human beings and acknowledging that we look back at the past with modern eyes, and therefore with imperfect understanding. At the same time, all three cartoonists clearly enjoy researching their topics and turning up odd bits of historical trivia. That affection for their subject matter, I think, is what sets these comics above your standard gag comic—when you're done laughing, you know a little bit more than you did before, which is more than I can say about any history class I ever took.

When Your Living Room is Your Play Room
A question that comes up a lot on Ohdeedoh is whether to sequester your children's toys in their bedrooms or store them in other areas of your home. But what if your child doesn't have a bedroom? My son sleeps in our office and while we keep his books there, his toys occupy our living room which, in essence, has become his play room. After nearly 2.5 years of shoving his toys in a corner, it was time to carve out some real storage space for his things there. It's like inviting your boyfriend to move in and giving him his own drawer and spot to hang his toothbrush.
I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but we have three large drawers in our media console that could easily be converted into toy storage. The first drawer held dvds which we rarely watch. They certainly don't deserve prime living room real estate and now house my son's growing block collection which he uses every day. The other two drawers hold unused tech stuff and will soon be cleared out to make way for my son's puzzles, cars and other small toys.
Here are some other family living rooms that I'm inspired by:
I still remember Nicole Balch of Making It Lovely's small storage basket in the living room. What might have otherwise held magazines and newspapers is now an attractive depository for some of her daughter's toys.
Wee Wonderful's Hillary Lang uses an Expedit bookcase in her living room which allows for plenty of storage. She modified hers to hold a television which we think is brilliant.
Tanie of Unicorn Parade divided her large living room into a kids living room and an adult living room (especially helpful since she does home childcare). She used a mural on one wall to visually distinguish between the two.
LJ and his wife Elena are architects and were able to redesign their 500 sq. ft. studio when their son joined the family. They cleverly built inconspicuous storage into their space which could be used for toys.
This family's living room/play room had help from a design firm and I love that they've just embraced the compromise of this shared space. There's no attempt to disguise that this home has young inhabitants or their accompanying stuff.

Everyone's looking for a deal, especially in this economy. The question is, how can you use "free" when marketing your camp? Here's 6 ideas to get you started:
- Free t-shirt when signing up for camp
- Free day of camp when signing up for 10 days of camp or more
- Free camp session next year when you sign up for 2 sessions this year
- Free registration when you sign up for camp by such and such date
- Free prizes and giveaways at our next open house
- Free upgrade to our premium Campers Photo Package when you subcribe to our Basic Camper Photo Package
Sometimes you can offer the same item or deal for free, but the way you say it makes all the difference. Check this out.
A dentist in my area made the following two offers to get customers to buy subscribe to his newsletter.
- "Subscribe to my newsletter for one year for just $100, and get the second year for only $50"
- "Subscribe to my newsletter for just $150 for one year, and get the second year free"
As you can see, both offers are exactly the same. The actual price to subscribe to the newsletter was $150 for two years. But the second offer -- the "free" one -- pulled 30% better than the first. Just goes to show how people will jump at free stuff, even when it's not really free at all!
I hope I've given you some worthwhile ideas to work with. I'll bet you can think of dozens more. If you need any help, post a comment and let me know. Good luck!

'Nurse Jackie' picked up for second season
Monday debut attracted a million viewersShowtime is giving a second season order to "Nurse Jackie" after the Edie Falco drama became Showtime's most-watched series premiere ever Monday night.
"Jackie" was seen by 1 million viewers, then gathered another 350,000 watchers during its same-night repeat for a total of 1.35 million viewers. That surpasses the prior same-night series premiere record holder, "Secret Diary of a Call Girl," which opened to about 950,000 viewers last year.
The season debut of "Weeds" served as lead-in, garnering a total of 1.7 million across two showings, down just a smidgen from last year (-4%).
In one of its characteristic early pickup moves, Showtime decided to order another 12 episodes of "Jackie" based on the overnight numbers. "Jackie" also scored positive reviews overall, such as this one.
"Jackie" is a co-production between Lionsgate TV and Showtime.

In most cases SMPTE should have been set correctly from the factory, but ETC did run into
a few systems that needed adjustment in the field. If the adjustments do not fix the problem
use SMPTE Quickguide and verify the source. The typical output will be +4 to +8 dBm, with
a source impedance of 50 to 600 ohms. This is roughly a 1.2 to 2 volt, peak-to-peak signal.
If source is absolutely known good, then hardware problem exists.
Verify that ECO1886 was installed. You should see wire mod on back and cut trace.
If not, ECO1886 will need to be performed.

My rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Summary From Goodreads:
Jason has a problem.
He doesn't remember anything before waking up in a bus full of kids on a field trip. Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper, and a best friend named Leo. They're all students at a boarding school for "bad kids." What did Jason do to end up here? And where is here, exactly?
Piper has a secret.
Her father has been missing for three days, ever since she had that terrifying nightmare about his being in trouble. Piper doesn't understand her dream, or why her boyfriend suddenly doesn't recognize her. When a freak storm hits during the school trip, unleashing strange creatures and whisking her, Jason, and Leo away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood, she has a feeling she's going to find out.
Leo has a way with tools.
When he sees his cabin at Camp Half-Blood, filled with power tools and machine parts, he feels right at home. But there's weird stuff, too—like the curse everyone keeps talking about, and some camper who;s gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist that each of them—including Leo—is related to a god. Does this have anything to do with Jason's amnesia, or the fact that Leo keeps seeing ghosts?
I've heard in so many reviews that they couldn't get into this book because there's new characters, and a whole new plotline, but I thought the exact opposite. It was so refreshing getting a whole new mythology, while still having Greek in the mix. I honestly couldn't put this book down, the characters and the plot twists kept me going. It was brilliant of Rick to put multiple POVs, because it kept the book running, and it was super cool seeing through the eyes of each and every character. And, we were lucky to not have to go through the torture of being introduced to a whole new world (because it normally lasts 200 pages). Us readers are already familiar with the amazing world of Percy Jackson.
Like I said above, I heard so many people say this was boring because Percy wasn't in it. Heck, I missed Percy, but I still LOVED the new characters. Leo was probably my favorite because He was soooo funny! I don't think I've ever laughed that much in a book. And I loved loved loved seeing more Greek gods, instead of the main 12. Piper was a very relatable character, and she was very fun to read about. Jason is definitely one of my new book boyfriends. He's dreamy, brave, handsome, and really nice.
Overall & Recommendations:
I absolutely loved this book! There was so many plot twists, that left me wondering what would happen next. Even though this was a bit predictable, I can definitely expect great things to come in the rest of the books. The characters were my absolute favorite! I love how this book is both plot and character driven, which makes for a book that's twice as amazing!
Memorable Quotes:
"I have lightning and wind powers," Jason reminded him. "Piper can turn beautiful and charm people into giving her BMWs. You're no more a freak than we are. And, hey, maybe you can fly, too. Like jump off a building and yell 'Flame on!'"
Leo snorted. "If I did that, you would see a flaming kid falling to his death, and I would be yelling something a little stronger than 'Flame on!"
"Gaea?" Leo shook his head. "Isn't that Mother Nature? She's supposed to have, like, flowers in her hair and birds singing around her and dear and rabbits doing her laundry."
"Leo, that's Snow White," Piper said."
"Piper gripped his hand and followed him, "If I fall, you're catching me."
"Uh, sure." Jason hoped he wasn't blushing.
Leo stepped out next. "You're catching me, too, Superman. But I ain't holding your hand."
"But beauty is about finding the right fit, the most natural fit, To be perfect, you have to feel perfect about yourself — avoid trying to be something you're not. For a goddess, that's especially hard. We can change so easily.
"She shot a blast of wintry sleet at the demigods, but Leo held up his hand. A wall of fire roared to life in front of them, and the snow dissolved in a steamy cloud.
Leo grinned. "See, lady, that's what happened to snow in Texas. It—freaking—melts."
"Aphrodite is about love and beauty. Being loving. Spreading beauty. Good friends. Good times. Good deeds. Not just looking good. Silena made mistakes, but in the end she stood by her friends. That's why she was a hero. I'm going to set things right, and I've got a feeling Mom will be on my side. Want to find out?

Wisconsin senators propose death penalty bill
An execution has not occurred in Wisconsin since 1851 when it first became a state after a man was convicted of drowning his wife. He was sentenced to death by hanging. Two years later Wisconsin abolished the death penalty.
Reynolds proposes the legislation be passed, but only with a DNA stipulation. He supports the death penalty, but only if there is forensic evidence that connects the suspect with the crime as a way to prevent wrongful convictions.
He sites the case of cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer were the death penalty would have been justified, and say only cases were "egregious crimes" have been committed would warrant execution.
Although the bill would have a DNA stipulation some Wisconsin death penalty opponents say once a wrongfully convicted person is sentenced to death there is no reversal of the mistake and therefore they will not support the bill.

text: This week I took my first steps back into the 'real world' and started a computer course, only a two week basic word processing thingy, but I was a bit rusty I was really looking forward to it, partly to update my skills, and partly because I thought I would sail through it without having to panic smoke all the way there, and without having to sit there wondering when the break would be so I could have yet another cigarette. But today I got a shock. It was approaching break time when I suddenly got a really overwhelming craving for a cigarette, for no apparent reason. It didn't make me feel irritable or depressed, it was just THERE, right in my face. I kind of thought it might be because on previous occasions if I was on a course, I would be the first one out of the door at break time to light up, so it was part of the old habit and an unexpected trigger coming back to haunt me. So when the break did come I deliberately went outside with the smokers as I have to learn to be around them sometime, and I knew that however I was feeling I would not accept a cigarette if offered one. The other thing was that I didn't take my Champix yesterday as an experiment to see if I could manage without them, and I hadn't taken it this morning either. This is the worrying part as I have done this before and every time I do I get a craving when I am least expecting it, so how am I going to cope when I do have to stop taking it?? Hmm, need a plan for that. Anyway I am fine now. And tomorrow I am on the course again, so if that craving reappears I will be ready for it. Funny though how these unexpected triggers can pop up so suddenly after all this time lol.

JamCam is an app that tackles an issue that's plagued every iPhone user at least once — if you go to record music and video at the same time, iTunes will often be cancelled out by another app.
The JamCam app is Vine-like in that lets you record 15-second videos, using the music in your phone's iTunes library as the soundtrack. The app also lets you skip ahead to a certain point in a song, which helps to set videos to a favourite verse or an epic guitar solo in the middle of a song.
After recording, JamCam clips can be shared to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, but there's also an ever-growing community of jammers to interact with in-app. Users can vote up other videos, or be directed to YouTube or iTunes to purchase songs, without even having to leave the app to find out what that song is.

Many ways to get noticed our website on Search Engine, so what do you reckon about the best way to catch more attention of Search Engines? Do you reckon about lot of companies out there which are offering you to get submitted to hundreds of search engines with automatic submission? I don't reckon so about it, seems just for spending your budget for this. For better ways you should do it by your self, but the first thing that you should consider is about your website have the professional look. To get this professional, reckon more about your keywords, excellent and relevance graphics, your content, SEO. Did you consider about keywords, graphic, contents are relevant on your website theme? Make sure you get excellent niche, and optimized with SEO for the last.
Now back to submitting websites to Search Engine, choose auto submission or get another company to do this are not guarantee that your website will be listed or get higher position immediately. Recognize how many new website completed everyday, then they are doing the same way with that submission. Surely it will need more time to get reviewed.
As i suggest you, consider about sitemap. Never do this case without sitemap, your sitemap will make simpler web robot to crawl your site. It could be the huge notation to get submission by your self.
So what is a sitemap?
A site map (or sitemap) is a list of pages of a web site accessible to crawlers or users. It can be either a document in any form used as a plotting tool for web design, or a web page that lists the pages on a web site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the site.(wikipedia)
Your sitemap will have a lists all your pages on your website, by your sitemap you will help the web robot to categorize your site correctly. For this reason you can get more attention and you will simple to get page on Search Engine. Then your submission will get better result. You can ignore about auto submission or companies which are give you more option on your submission. The conclusion, you should avoid the automatic promotions, you can search on internet ton of search engines and directory companies then do it by your self for more better result.

Every day seems to arrive with a long list of things to do, some urgent and some that have lingered at the foot of my to do list for far too long. It is easy to get carried away with the minutae of everyday life and forget how precious every moment is and how suddenly everything can change.
I am just back from a much needed break in the lake district where we were blessed with wonderful weather and beautiful scenery.
We stayed in the delightful Lindeth Howe, a country house hotel which proudly displays photographs of one of the house's former owners, none other than Beatrix Potter.
Good fortune made us decide against a last minute trip abroad where, of all things, a volcano erupting would have disrupted our holiday plans as it did for many.
But unfortunately holiday plans were not the only things disrupted.
But unfortunately the volcanic ash drifting into UK and much of European airspace meant that some of Bruce's friends and family from France and Switzerland were unable to make it to Edinburgh in time for the funeral and worse still some were left stranded en route, not able to get home again.
Weather affects us all and dramatic weather events can be incredibly useful to a writer. But if a thriller writer had written about a volcanic dust cloud halting all air travel most people might have thought it was an interesting idea, but fairly implausible. As the cliché goes, fact is actually stranger than fiction! I wonder how many books will suddenly appear in the next year or so with this as the starting point- it offers so many possibilities.
As writers we look at all aspects of life but the sudden, unexpected and sometimes tragic happenings are often those that seem to dominate. Tracy Chevalier recently commented when judging the short story competition for Myslexia Magazine that most of the entries dealt with death or sad subjects and she was desperately looking for something humorous and uplifting. But writing about sad and tragic events has its place and at times we all need to dip in and sample emotions which is what fiction is all about.
Teenagers often seem to dwell dramatically on the deeply tragic, to explore emotions that they have yet to experience or perhaps to make sense of events in heir own lives.
My latest book for teenagers Dead Boy Talking is about a boy who has been stabbed and has 25 minutes to live - and the events that lead up it. With Spider and now Dead Boy Talking I have found myself writing much darker books for this age group, but it was never a conscious decision.
I think that today is one of those days when I am happy to return to the delights of writing for young children for a while, I think Hamish McHaggis needs to go off on another adventure soon - everything needs balance!
