Russell House
This home was formerly located on the corner of Jefferson and Jos. Campau. The house was disassembled and moved to its present location on Burns in 1921. It was reassembled in a mirror image of its original construction.
The house is now on the market and Curbed Detroit has images of the interior.

Authorities at the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital in Mampong in the Eastern region have hinted that they are considering a transfer of corpses from the facility to other hospitals due to the unstable power supply to the facility.
The hospital is also referring all emergency cases to other facilities following the breakdown of its power plant some weeks ago.
The revelation came to light when the Akuapim North Municipal Assembly donated a 412 KVA emergency power plant worth Ghc3000 to the hospital.
The Medical Superintendent of the Facility, Mawuli Kotope Gyakobo who expressed his gratitude for the gesture said the power plant will help ease the pressure on them.
He promised that with the emergency power plant, the hospital will give the best of healthcare delivery to patients.
He said the power situation has necessitated a transfer of drugs such as Insulin and other perishables to other health institutions.

Effective managing is more than than visualizing an conclusion and creating a devise. Although this is an principal part it is not satisfactory.

In dictation to effectively hack it transaction and family you essential be a leader, you must visualize, and instigate policy.
They managers are leadership. A chief officer knows how to powerfulness individuals to kill their part in the scheme volitionally. An stirred hand will be a great deal more cost-efficient than human executing in horror of losing their job.
Managers doing a remarkable job grasp the rush of visualizing the effect. This final result is the bedrock of the propose. The connive is a key component that makes and breaks managers. A lot of managers present have the swiftness to twig what wishes to be finished in any fixed situation, but individual a branch of those managers work out how to "work the plan".

Fortescue Bay is beautiful; a crescent moon of white sand backed by a stately eucalpytus forest, a tiny haven on the east side of the Tasman Peninsula where a kayak can land or a fishing boat seek shelter from the wild Tasman Sea which pounds against the dolerite cliffs and towers off the outer coast. We had come to paddle east to Cape Hauy to see the Totem Pole, Mitre Rock and The Lanterns. This coastline is some of the most spectacular in Australia, paddling out into the rolling swell and swirling currents always feels like an adventure.
Sheltered and beautiful, Fortescue Bay
Now that spring is creeping over Tasmania, the sun rises early and Doug and I were paddling east from the beach at Fortescue Bay soon after 8 am. It is only four kilometres to Cape Hauy and I was surprised at how soon the really scenic paddling starts. The first kilometre follows a low rocky shoreline, but, at the first headland to the east, the cliffs begin growing taller, our boats began to roll up and down on the swell, the great kelp forests began to spread across the ocean surface, and, on a small sloping rock ledge under dolerite cliffs we came upon our first cluster of resting fur seals. One seal put his (?her) head up and barked a few times, but, overall, they were undisturbed by our presence and lay back down to rest.
Doug paddling east towards Cape Hauy
A series of spectacular small islands and isolated rock towers lie off the east end of Cape Hauy, separated by very narrow channels of water where currents and swells collide. Perhaps the most spectacular, at least the most photographed, is the 112 metre high Totem Pole that rises out of a narrow chasm like a giant phallus. This is an amazing place to be in a kayak and we paddled as close in as the swell allowed while another group of fur seals watched from a nearby rock platform. The water is dark, deep, clear, and under the cliffs, appears jet black and forbidding. Right off the tip of Cape Hauy is another rock tower, strangely unnamed, but also stunningly beautiful. The waters around Cape Hauy were rough with two different swells running and a moderate current running down the coast.
Inky dark sea, striking Totem Pole
From Cape Hauy we paddled northwest for three kilometres in a gently rolling swell to Dolomieu Point and followed the 100 metre cliffs north past the small rocky islet off Thumbs Point towards O'Hara Bluff. A strong ebb current was running along the coast line and the water was bumpy with rebound from the swell and clapotis from the current, so this section was slower paddling. O'Hara Point marks the most southerly point we had reached paddling south from Pirates Bay and we were happy to have now paddled the eastern shore of the Forestier and Tasman Peninsulars from Cape Surville to Cape Hauy.
Doug rising on a gentle swell at Cape Hauy
Turning back, we caught the current south and paddled around Dolomieu Point into rocky Bivouac Bay. There is a small campsite tucked into the trees, good for hikers, but not so good for sea kayakers as there is no sandy beach to land on, just a rocky shoreline. We had lunch, and then continued following the northern shoreline of Fortescue Bay all the way to Canoe Bay doing what kayakers do, which is, of course, paddling as close to the cliffs as you dare, but with one eye watchful for a bigger wave which might lead to a capsize.
Doug edging the rocky shore line
In Canoe Bay, an old steamer was sunk in 1953 to provide a breakwater for fishing boats and it has now become a haven for birds and marine life. We paddled around the wreck before continuing towards the beach. As we neared the beach, we saw a huge splash off the rocks just north of the boat ramp which turned out to be a humpback whale breaching. Of course, we rapidly changed course and paddled out into the bay and were treated to a half dozen spectacular breachings, a lot of fin waving - humpbacks have massive fins - and then some gentle swimming. Doug and I are always amazed at the diversity of life you see while sea kayaking - whales, turtles, sunfish, albatross, tiger sharks, dolphins, seals, penguins, massive schools of fish, rays, and more. There really is no better way to experience the diversity of the ocean than in a sea kayak.
Wreck in Canoe Bay
Finally, as the humpback whale swam lazily off towards Cape Hauy, we turned our kayaks to shore and landed gently on the sand of Fortescue Bay. Just another day you never want to end messing about on the ocean in a tiny boat.
Another day wasted messing about on the ocean in a tiny boat

Peace Day - September 21, 2008 - 67
PEacE ParTNErSHIP INTErNaTIoNaL austraLia The campaign for a Ministry for Peace within the Australian Federal Government is slowly becoming recognized by all of the Political Parties i.e. Australian Labor Party, Australian Liberal Party, Australian Democrats, Australian Greens. These groups are all now sympathetic to the cause and provide assistance, attending Forums and speaking for Peace. In 1983 the Department of Foreign Affairs appointed Mr. Richard Butler as the first Ambassador for Disarmament. The Department of Foreign Affairs made an initial grant toward the establishment of Australian peace research, and with the Department of Education it made a commitment to Peace Education. Sydney will host the 4th International Global Summit for Ministries and Departments of Peace Sept. 17-16, 2008 www.ministryforpeace.org The 2007 meeting of the Global Alliance for Ministries and Departments of Peace convened in Japan sembly. The bill will establish a National System for the Promotion of Peace that includes three offices: Alternative Resolution of Conflicts, Peace Promotion (projects) and Public Events. congo The Central Africa Conflict Prevention Assn. (CACOPA) now has centers in four cities and more than 120 people attend our meetings. We have held two conferences on the importance of a Ministry of Peace, one in 2006 and one in 2007. Belonging to the Global Alliance and using the examples of the members has given us strength in our country. There are many political Parties and Politicians who would like to work with us but haven't yet given their endorsement. Currently we are working to organize trainings in peace building, and conferences on the importance of a Ministry of Peace, and to build strong alliances on the continent with our neighbor nations. these nations were also represented at the 2007 summit for a full report visit www.peacepartintl.org: israEL – PaLEstinE We are on the road to establish Ministries of Peace in Israel and Palestine! Israel-Palestine Center for Research and Information (IPCRI), founded in Jerusalem in 1988, is the only joint Palestinian-Israeli public policy think-tank in the world. It is devoted to developing practical solutions for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. south africa costa rica Costa Rica is closest to being the third nation to establish a Ministry for Peace. Our major achievement is that our initiative for a Ministry for Justice and Peace is now a bill that is going through the process of becoming a law. We have lobbied every political party and there is no opposition to our bill so it just has to complete the process to come up for vote with the Legislative As- South Africa is a vibrant and progressive country. We sadly are plagued by violence in some communities and need help desperately to shift this consciousness to a peaceful and secure state.

ASME is built with the most modern web standards, which give you a better & more reliable experience.
One of the public service goals of ASME is to "provide advice to government officials at all levels on engineering and technology matters and policies affecting the public interest, and to develop a climate of understanding and credibility that fosters a continuing dialogue."
Very few of the 535 Members of Congress have engineering or scientific backgrounds. Given that they are called upon nearly every day to make decisions that affect scientific and engineering practice, it is only natural that they require the expertise of those experienced in technical fields.
ASME Government Relations represents and advocates for the engineering profession by facilitating and initiating various programs and activities. ASME members at all stages of their careers have an opportunity to help "engineer the greater good" by applying their engineering expertise and pragmatic problem-solving approach to the development of sound public policy.
Register for the Congressional Visits Training
ASME will enhance its relevance and impact to global constituents by being the leader in advancing engineering technology.
ASME's 2018-2019 Public Policy Agenda Federal Issues:
Washington Policy Updates
Government Relations interacts closely with various members from ASME's Sectors, Groups, Divisions, Committees and Task Forces on all of ASME's policy priorities to keep them apprised of new developments in the policy arena and to provide opportunities for them to offer their technical expertise. Reports are listed on the issue webpages listed above.
Capitol Update
ASME Capitol Update is a weekly electronic newsletter focused on legislative and regulatory news of interest to the engineering community. It is a free service to ASME members, providing valuable insight on the latest public policy developments from Capitol Hill highlighting issues related to ASME's federal public policy agenda priority issues.
Position Statements
Position statements are effective for communicating the independent views of various segments of the Society—or the Society as a whole—to policymakers who are confronted with decisions on a wide variety of technical issues. Government Relations must work closely with ASME Sector units on the development of position statements.
Legislative Action Center: Action Alerts
Congressional Briefings
A key element of ASME's public policy activities is convening congressional briefings to inform Members of Congress and their staff about engineering and technology aspects of current public policy issues and to increase awareness among Congressional staff of ASME as a credible source of technical information.
Washington Visitation & Congressional District "Public Policy Forums"
The Washington Visitation Program provides an opportunity for ASME members to actively participate in the Society's government relations activities. The program enables ASME members to engage in the Society's public policy agenda and play a role in such national issues as energy policy, global climate change, R&D funding, infrastructure development, and engineering education.
ASME Federal Government Fellowship Program
The ASME Federal Fellows Program provides opportunities for selected, qualified ASME members to provide technical expertise to policymakers by spending one year in Washington, DC serving in the office of a U.S. Senator or Representative, on a Congressional Committee, or with a federal agency, or in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. ASME accepts applications for the ASME Federal Government Fellowship Program from September through January each year. Visit https://www.asme.org/about-asme/participate/advocacy-government-relations/federal-fellows-program for additional information.

In college I had to find a way to deal with my sweaty workout clothes. At home growing up I would always throw them in an empty sink and at the end of the week would throw it all in the wash. When I went to college though dorm living didn't allow for that. Living with roommates is hard enough, you add stinky sweaty clothes strewn about to the mix and you're asking for a bitch fight.
I went to Target and found a bucket to help keep my things contained. You can generally find them in the organizing section with all the plastic bins or during the summer in the outdoor/party planning section. This bucket is actually meant for you to put ice and drinks in. Dual purpose! Please choose one purpose. It's either the ice or your sweat. You can't have both.
It's also very convenient to just pick up and head straight to the laundry room. Who has quarters?

When: Wednsday, October 26th, 12.15 - 14.00
Where: University campus, Arne Rettedals house, room V-101
Dr. Ljunggren is an author of several book chapters and articles in highly ranked International Journals on the topic on female entrepreneurship and involvement of women in innovation processes.
During the seminar Dr. Ljunggren will tell about the experience from the VRI project "Gender and innovation", where the focus was on developing of knowledge about gender and innovation in relation to regional VRI projects. Some of the questions she will bring forward are:
- How gender initially was introduced to VRI
- How the innovation concept is gendered in relation to companies and industries,
- How the concepts of innovation, gender and expertise influence the extent men and women participating in corporate innovation processes
- How different theoretical understandings of what gender is can influence new knowledge

StopPress believes the free-to-air RWC broadcasting orgy between Maori Television Service, TVNZ and TV3 is likely to be investigated by the Commerce Commission on the grounds of anti-competitive behaviour.
Officially, The Comcom says it's a no comment. They have absolutely no position on the matter *Tui billboard*. But word on the street is that if the offer is approved by the IRB, the commission will investigate the deal.
Michael Carney, of the Media Counsel, says any grand coalition involving multiple partners is likely to come under regulatory scrutiny and, in this case, he believes the deal is anti-competitive. It's just government mandated anti-competitive behaviour.
"Government mandated or not, it's still anti-competitive behaviour," he says.
While the amount of the combined free-to-air bid hasn't been disclosed, it's widely believed to be lower than the original MTS and TVNZ offers. So, if anyone's going to complain about cartel collusion, it'll be the IRB.
He wouldn't be surprised to see some regulatory action in the near future, whether the IRB complain directly to the Commerce Commission or the commission decides to investigate of its own volition.
Anti-competitive behaviour debates aside, Carney also wonders if the deal is in the best interests of the country, given the likelihood of games screening on an array of different networks.
Both anti-competitive and counter-intuitive, it seems.

BERLIN (AP) � "Are there still Jews in Germany?" "Are the Jews a chosen people?"
Nearly 70 years after the Holocaust, there is no more sensitive an issue in German life as the role of Jews.
With fewer than 200,000 Jews among Germany's 82 million people, few Germans born after World War II know any Jews or much about them.
To help educate postwar generations, an exhibit at the Jewish Museum features a Jewish man or woman seated inside a glass box for two hours a day through August to answer visitors' questions about Jews and Jewish life. The base of the box asks: "Are there still Jews in Germany?"
"A lot of our visitors don't know any Jews and have questions they want to ask," museum official Tina Luedecke said. "With this exhibition, we offer an opportunity for those people to know more about Jews and Jewish life."
But not everybody thinks putting a Jew on display is the best way to build understanding and mutual respect.
Since the exhibit � "The Whole Truth, everything you wanted to know about Jews" � opened this month, the "Jew in the Box," as it is popularly known, has drawn sharp criticism within the Jewish community � especially in the city where the Nazis orchestrated the slaughter of 6 million Jews until Adolf Hitler's defeat in 1945.
"Why don't they give him a banana and a glass of water, turn up the heat and make the Jew feel really cozy in his glass box," prominent Berlin Jewish community figure Stephan Kramer told The Associated Press. "They actually asked me if I wanted to participate. But I told them I'm not available."
The exhibit is reminiscent of Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann sitting in a glass booth at the 1961 trial in Israel that led to his execution. And it's certainly more provocative than British actress Tilda Swinton sleeping in a glass box at a recent performance at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Eran Levy, an Israeli who has lived in Berlin for years, was horrified by the idea of presenting a Jew as a museum piece, even if to answer Germans' questions about Jewish life.
"It's a horrible thing to do � completely degrading and not helpful," he said. "The Jewish Museum absolutely missed the point if they wanted to do anything to improve the relations between Germans and Jews."
But several of the volunteers, including both German Jews and Israelis living in Berlin, said the experience in the box is little different from what they go through as Jews living in the country that produced the Nazis.
"With so few of us, you almost inevitably feel like an exhibition piece," volunteer Leeor Englander said. "Once you've been 'outed' as a Jew, you always have to be the expert and answer all questions regarding anything related to religion, Israel, the Holocaust and so on."
Museum curator Miriam Goldmann, who is Jewish, believes the exhibit's provocative "in your face" approach is the best way to overcome the emotional barriers and deal with a subject that remains painful for both Jews and non-Jews.
"We wanted to provoke, that's true, and some people may find the show outrageous or objectionable," Goldmann said. "But that's fine by us."
The provocative style is evident in other parts of the special exhibition, including some that openly raise many stereotypes of Jews.
One includes a placard that asks "how you recognize a Jew?" It's next to an assortment of yarmulkes, black hats and women's hair covers hanging from the ceiling on thin threads. Another asks if Jews consider themselves the chosen people. It includes a poem by Jewish author Leonard Fein: "How odd of God to choose the Jews. But how on earth could we refuse?"
Despite the criticisms, the "Jew in the Box" has proven a big hit among visitors.

Friday 28th November from 12.30pm to 4pm
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
Appreciating this is short notice we would like to invite you a WM ADUK meeting at the end of this month, hoping that as the year draws to a close some of you may have time to get out! We propose to hold a meeting on Friday 28th November from 12.30pm to 4pm (latest) at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery hosted by our new WM co-ordinator Symon Easton from Birmingham City Council. This means we will get together before the next national meeting which takes place in early December so we have time to collate some feedback and commentary to share with national colleagues and cultural body representatives such as the Arts Council and DCMS.
The agenda will be around the following suggested topics, although as ever if you have any burning issues for discussion we can make time for them:
• Cultural Commissioning – some of you will have attended the recent ADUK seminars on this. Birmingham have practice to share on the subject – given the change to their services and the future plans for culture in the city.
• State of the 'Arts Nation' – sharing perspectives and experience in the regions – reflecting where the challenges are and how we might support each other as a greater west midlands model.
• Feedback on recent ACE Briefings in the Midlands and Review and discussion on the Arts Council recently announced Strategic funding programmes
I hope that had whetted your appetites a little. As if you needed any more of an incentive – the other main attraction at this time of the year is the German Street Market – a great festive experience and a good excuse to get some shopping done. As we are close to the date in question now I would appreciate it if you could respond to say if you are planning to attend by the end of next week – Friday November 14th – so we can plan for refreshment numbers. Please send your interest to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Psyche Hudson (Regional Coordinator for WM & Arts & Culture Services Manager for Telford & Wrekin Council)

Villeroy & Boch improves operating result by 8.5%
Consolidated revenue up 2.0%
The Villeroy & Boch Group increased its revenue by 2.0% to € 836.5 million in the 2017 financial year. On a constant currency basis, i.e. assuming unchanged exchange rates against the previous year, revenue growth amounted to 2.7%. Negative exchange rate effects resulted in particular from the depreciation of the pound sterling, the Chinese renminbi, the Swedish krona and the US dollar.
Operating EBIT up 8.5 % year-on-year
In the 2017 financial year, operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved by 8.5% to € 49.8 million (previous year: € 45.9 million). The EBIT margin rose from 5.6% to 6.0 %. This was primarily due to the improved operating margins in both divisions.
Development by division
In the 2017 financial year, operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved by 8.5% to € 49.8 million (previous year: € 45.9 million). The EBIT margin rose from 5.6% to 6.0%. This was primarily due to the improved operating margins in both divisions.
The Bathroom and Wellness Division increased its revenue by 6.4% to € 558.1 million in the 2017 financial year. On a constant currency basis, divisional revenue rose by 7.0%.
In the company's home market of Europe, revenue increased by 1.5% to € 452.1 million. Development was driven in particular by the high level of demand for rimless DirectFlush WCs and thin-walled TitanCeram washbasins. Although the corresponding production capacities have been expanded, it was not possible to fully meet the enormous demand for these products. This is reflected in orders on hand within the division as a whole, which increased from € 32.8 million to € 96.2 million. In selected European markets including Germany, growth was also curbed by a shortage of fitting capacity.
Revenue outside Europe increased by 34.0% to € 106.0 million. Growth of 25.6% was recorded in the Middle East/Africa region thanks to successful project business. This was driven primarily by the Gulf States (+40.7%), where construction activity developed positively in preparation for major international events. Revenue growth in the Asia-Pacific region was even stronger, with China in particular standing out with a growth rate of 45.0%.
Positive revenue development and optimised revenue quality thanks to improved margins meant that the operating result in the division increased to an above-average extent, rising by 13.3% to € 41.0 million.
The Tableware Division reported revenue of € 278.4 million in the 2017 financial year (-5.8 %). This represented a reduction of 4.9% on a constant currency basis.
Revenue performance in a number of markets was impacted by the global downturn in visitor numbers at retail stores, as well as the company's withdrawal from unprofitable business. Villeroy & Boch also pressed ahead with focusing on higher-margin trade channels while pursuing a more restrictive discount policy.
Revenue in Europe declined on the whole (-6.2%). Revenue in the United States also fell by 6.9 %, due among other things to site closures by a major distribution partner. By contrast, South Korea (+20.5%) and – thanks to strong project business – the Gulf States (+18.9%) enjoyed notably positive performance.
The operating result in the Tableware Division amounted to € 8.8 million in the past financial year (previous year: € 9.7 million). Thanks to the more restrictive discount policy, the lower revenue volume was partially offset in earnings by an improved operating margin. Costs were also reduced through the closure of unprofitable stores, while savings were generated in sales, marketing and logistics structures and administrative areas. This was accompanied by higher income from licence business.
Orders on hand and net liquidity
Orders on hand amounted to € 107.0 million as at 31 December 2017, up significantly on the previous year (€ 73.9 million). The Bathroom and Wellness Division accounted for € 96.2 million of this figure, with the remaining € 10.8 million attributable to the Tableware Division. Net liquidity amounted to € 57.6 million at the reporting date.
Investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounted to € 35.9 million in the past financial year (previous year: € 26.2 million). At 81%, the majority of this figure related to the Bathroom and Wellness Division, where investment activity focused on the acquisition of new production facilities in order to increase capacity. Investments in the Tableware Division also concentrated mainly on new production facilities, as well as the optimisation of the retail network.
The Management Board and the Supervisory Board will propose to the General Meeting of Shareholders on 23 March 2018 that the unappropriated surplus of Villeroy & Boch AG be used to distribute a dividend in the amount of € 0.57 per preference share and € 0.52 per ordinary share, € 0.04 more than in the previous year in each case.
Assessment of the company's position
"I am pleased by the good result with which we closed 2017. This was thanks in particular to the strong revenue performance in the Bathroom and Wellness Division. As there is no sign of an end to the growth trend in this area, we are continuing to invest extensively in the expansion of our production capacities," commented Frank Göring, CEO of Villeroy & Boch AG.
For the 2018 financial year, the company is aiming to increase its consolidated revenue by between 3% and 5%. "We are anticipating year-on-year growth in our operating result of between 5% and 10%," Göring added.

Planting Potatoes Year 2
My First Potato / July 2010
Last year was the first year to experiment with growing a garden in raised bed structures. One of the hot topics on #gardenchat / Twitter was planting potatoes. With a little help from my friends online I was educated about how easy it was to grow all types of potatoes. After a successful season of growing my own Irish and Idaho spuds I must say it was super easy and as exciting as a surprise party! When I googled for information about planting potatoes I didn't find one mention of how rustic and rich with flavor those spuds would be. The flavor in some of my family recipes were just amazing and I can't wait to try more dishes and ways of preserving potatoes this year.
My girlfriend Rhonda stopped over the other day while I was attempting to plant potatoes again this year. I had some questions about planting the entire potato rather then cutting them in pieces and if I could reuse the potatoes that were coming up from last years harvest. It was a split vote when I asked on the social networks if I should leave those old potatoes in the raised bed to grow this year so I took all I could find out and planted them in a corner of the raised bed. Rhonda shared some tips with me on what her Father had taught her about growing potatoes and you can read that information by clicking on the image above.
More information about my soil by clicking on the image collage above
An important tip is to be sure that you plant your potatoes eye UP and use loose soil in your container or structure you are planting the spuds in. Last year we had a blast harvesting these potatoes finding more potatoes then I ever imagined could come from one location!
The greenhouse and landscape project is coming together quit nicely this spring. It is on our to-do list to get the left side of the landscape filled with another split rail fence featuring a trellis. I hope to have that in by early June. My hubby and I celebrate our 18th Wedding Anniversary this next weekend maybe I can some how tie that into our special day?!
Last Night on #gardenchat we welcomed Katie and Justin from Better Homes & Garden. I got to meet Justin in person this past March on my trip to Costa Farms for the Social Summit in Miami. I had a blast talking with him about his garden projects, the greenhouse / garden center he owns and operates in Iowa and all the fun things going on at Better Homes & Garden. IF you missed last night #gardenchat which was all about the latest plants for 2011, the transcript is located at#gardenchat transcript web page. Sometime today Better Homes & Garden will be announcing a winner from last nights #gardenchat. I can't wait to see who will win the fabulous book collection featuring : Garden Doctor: Advice from the Experts,Yard & Garden Projects, Better Homes and Gardens New Garden Book, Gardening Made Easy,Yard & Garden Owner's Manual I will share more when the winner is announced.
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR from you if you clicked over to this link : share a comment or suggestion below!

Christmas Dog Collars
Let Your Dog Dress for Christmas
Do you want your dog to be able to join in the Christmas festivities this year? If so, then he or she should probably have some cute accessory to wear during the holidays. A Christmas dog collar is always a great option to choose, because these collars are cute and festive and they are designed for both small and large dogs alike. Not to mention, when the holidays are over, you can save the collars and then bring them out again for the next Christmas season. If you are trying to find the best Christmas dog collar, there are a few different options to consider. Here are some of the best collars on the market for this holiday season:
Premier Jingle Bell Collar
Whether you have a small, medium, or large dog, the Premier Jingle Bell Collar may be the cutest Christmas dog collar on the market. For approximately $8.00, you can purchase this collar in either red or green, and you can know that you are getting an excellent investment, because the collar has been rated 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com.
The main reason why many dog owners love this collar is largely because of the bells that adorn the outside of it. Your dog will jingle wherever he or she goes in your home or outside, so they will literally help ring in the spirit of Christmas.
You can put this collar on your dog without having to worry about weighing him or her down, because the bells are designed to be sturdy and not fall off, but they are lightweight enough that they can be worn with comfort by dogs of any size. In years past, this has been one of the most popular Christmas dog collars on the market, and it continues to be exceedingly popular this year as well.
Adjustable Red Snowflake Dog Collar
If you don't want a noisy Christmas dog collar but you still want something that is festive and helps you to bring in the spirit of Christmas with the furry members of your family, then you should definitely consider investing in the Adjustable Red Snowflake Dog Collar. This collar has received a whopping 5 out of 5 star rating on Amazon.com, which means that it is thoroughly enjoyed by most buyers. Not to mention, you can also purchase it for approximately $15, although the prices vary depending on which size you choose.
The core of this collar is made out of nylon, so it will be durable enough to handle whatever your dog may put it through, yet it is comfortable enough for your dog to wear it for several months without any sort of a problem. The outside of the collar is made out of cotton fabric, which is where the snowflake design comes from.
If this collar gets dirty, all you have to do to clean it is throw it into the washing machine, because it is designed to go through the wash and come out looking spotless, should anything get on it.
Nylon Ribbon Collar
Perhaps you are trying to find the cutest Christmas dog collar on the market. If this is the case, one great option to consider is the Nylon Ribbon Collar. It has not received a rating yet, but you can rest assured that you will be getting a high-quality investment if you purchase this collar for the holiday season. It is available in a range of sizes from extra small to large, so dogs of virtually any size should be able to wear this collar. The collar will also cost you no more than $12 no matter what size you choose.
One of the main reasons why people like this collar so much is because of the color scheme and the design of it. With a green, red, and white exterior, these are the classic Christmas colors that will make your dog look ultra-festive this holiday season. The designs are extra-cute too, as they feature an ornament, a Santa hat, a Christmas tree, and a candy cane alternating all around the collar.
This collar is constructed of nylon, so no matter how long you decide to keep it on your dog, he or she will never be uncomfortable, but will be able to sport the collar with pride for many years.
Mirage Pet Products Collar
The Mirage Pet Products Collar may be one of the best Christmas dog collar options on the market for small, medium, or large dogs alike. No matter which size you choose, you will never spend more than $14 for this collar. Although it has never been rated, you can rest assured that you are getting a high-quality investment that you can keep using for several years to come.
This collar is designed in red and green, which are standard Christmas colors, so it is fairly festive already. There is an even cuter touch added to it, though, because there are black dog bones going all around the collar. The collar is constructed out of leather, which means that it is durable and bit to last for many years of use.
Choosing Your Dog's Collar
Are you looking for the best Christmas dog collar choices on the market this holiday season? If so, then it appears that these are four of the best models that you should choose. They are all strong and durable, so they will give you several years of use. Not to mention, they are all relatively festive and cute, and they can fit most small, medium, or large-sized dogs. This year, ring in the true spirit of Christmas by getting a festive collar for your four-legged friend. Choose from one of these models and celebrate in style this year and for many years to come.

Pictionary with the Boss
Had a meeting today with the big boss. He decides to demonstrate his vision by drawing a map of the UK. Upon him starting to draw the board, I commence shouting out "A ghost....Casper....a cake....a face" whilst he is doing his best impression of Tony Hart. Needless to say he didn't find it funny and I had to leave the room in a fit of hysterics!

But alas, I caved. Will power is really not my spiritual gift. Plus I justified that it would be my birthday present to myself (one of them). So here I am. Go ahead . Go on, show me your beautiful things. It's likely I'll never do laundry again so bring on the pins! I'm in desperate need of a billion new DIY ideas, more cupcake ideas than I'll ever have time to even consider attempting & enough room makeover ideas for a mansion (to decorate all 900 square feet of our rental house).
It is pretty awesome but I'm going to try and be a responsible pinner ok? I think it shall be my reward for grocery shopping. I can never seem to get to the grocery store. Seriously, pray for me. I hate grocery shopping. I need to grow up and get over that. My husband definitely loves dinner way more than clever idea boards and gorgeous party inspirations.
In other news I bought myself one more birthday present yesterday.
It's thrifted from The Buffalo Exchange... who wouldn't buy my clothes back! I'm sorry your "customers actually prefer jeans and t-shirts". I actually do too. Why do you think I'm trying to sell you my blazers and dress pants? Anyway, this is perfect. Now instead of doing laundry I will just wear this shirt every single day while I'm on a pinning spree. Kidding! I think.
Oh and don't forget to enter the birthday giveaway before it's too late! Do it if you're cool.

"On paper" this game looks like a great game with quite cool gameplay in the survival genre. But watching the videos, it seems to be waaaay to early in the alpha stage for me to bother yet. I will come back in a year and see where it's at then :)
But yeah, seems like it has potential :)
Oh, and thank you for Linux support :)

New Delhi, Apr 26 : A slipper was hurled at former CWG organising committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi in the Patiala House Court complex here today.
A man threw the slipper at 66-year-old Kalmadi, who was escorted by a posse of policemen, as he entered the court complex for being produced before a special CBI court. The person, identified as Kapil Thakur, was immediately detained, police said.
Kalmadi was being taken for production before a special CBI court after being arrested yesterday for his alleged involvement in irregularities in Commonwealth Games projects. He has been charged with cheating, conspiracy and corruption in connection with awarding some Games contracts.
The Congress MP has been accused of awarding illegal contracts to a Swiss firm for Timing-Scoring-Result (TSR) system for the Games causing a loss of Rs 95 crore to the exchequer. PTI

Itching for Bitching
Suffering from acute Bloggers Block, we decided to temporarily suspend The Iconoclast in January. There is some interest among the staff for reviving the enterprise, but for now we are reposting the archives. Sometime soon we hope to be back in the business of commenting on events in Northwest Akansas and poking fun at the pompous.

The Tea Party vs. The Creature from Jekyll Island
August 23, 2011
Hosted by Jay Taylor
[Download MP3s: Hour 1: The Tea Party vs. The Creature from Jekyll Island Hour 2: The Tea Party vs. The Creature from Jekyll Island] [itunes] [Bookmark Episode]
Guest Information
Episode Description
G. Edward Griffin's classic book, "The Creature from Jekyll Island" is a must read if you want to know what is REALLY going on with the U.S. Government and the powerful banking interests that control our President, key members of Congress and ultimately even the Supreme Court. Outraged by the lack of coverage Ron Paul has received despite his outstanding showing in the Iowa Straw Poll, we will ask Ed if he thinks the Tea Party can return our government back to the people. We will examine the reasons for the dismissal of the Tea Party and explore the connections between the Creature (aka the Federal Reserve Bank) and the media who despise the ideas of our Founding Fathers. Also, Tom Drivas, CEO of Romios Gold will be with us to talk about his company's prospects for finding a major gold and copper deposit in B.C. Making Money with Chen will also be a topic as we search to combine the political economics with practical ways to make money.
Turning Hard Times into Good Times
Tuesday at 12 Noon Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
Jay Taylor's show will explain the real underlying causes for plunging stock prices, plunging home prices and growing unemployment. By correctly diagnosing the cause of America's economic decline, rather than listening to excuses from Wall Street and Washington, Jay will offer winning investment ideas to protect and increase wealth.
Topics to be discussed will include the cause of the decline of: our monetary system and our economy, the housing markets, the equity markets, and commodities, Why gold and silver are rising in value and how investors can profit from the direction of these markets through specific stocks, ETF's and precious metals will also be discussed. Turning Hard Times into Good Times is broadcast live every Tuesday at 12 Noon Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel.
Jay Taylor
Jay Taylor has been able to more than double his newsletter's model portfolio from 2000 to the present even as the S&P 500 was in the process of losing 50% of its value!
The insights provided to Jay came from a history professor in 1967 who advised Jay that when countries go off a gold or silver standard, hard economic times are sure to follow because nations begin to think they do not need to work hard and save to enjoy a better life. Indeed there is no free lunch and a gold standard reminds people of that every day.
Jay watched his professor's prophetic words come true when in 1971, President Nixon completely detached the dollar from gold. Not surprising to Jay, the price of gold skyrocketed in the late 1970s as inflation wiped out vast amounts of wealth from average Americans. To protect his own wealth Jay began to invest in gold and gold mining shares and in 1981 he began sharing his success and insights in his newsletter. In 1981 Jay began writing a subscription newsletter that has earned his subscribers countless thousands of dollars over the years.
Jay's insights as to the real cause of our problems has enabled him to find investment strategies that work. Diagnose a problem correctly and you have a chance for success. Diagnose a problem incorrectly as the establishment does and you are sure to fail.

Rrrrraaaaaggggeeee!! No tagline needed. Everything that needs to be said is being said on Hugh Jackman's face, screaming in rage as Wolverine. 20th Century Fox has unveiled two new posters for James Mangold's The Wolverine standalone spin-off movie set in Japan, just before the trailer arrives this week. Both of the posters show Hugh Jackman as Logan screaming with his claws out, but they also have that kind of shiny, comic book-feel which really makes them feel a bit cheap. I love the ninja artwork, I just wish it wasn't a bad Photoshop and had more of a full-on comic book feel, like the first Wolverine teaser poster. That said, this still looks awesome. While we wait for the trailer to arrive, EW also unveiled a new set of photos. See below!
Check out the latest poster for James Mangold's The Wolverine:
Here's yet another alternate UK poster design, revealed by the official @TheWolverineUK twitter today.
Here's a quick 6-sec Vine "tweaser" (via Twitter) of the first trailer, which will be arriving later this week:
In addition to these two posters, Entertainment Weekly has also debuted a gallery of photos from The Wolverine, giving us a look at all the characters we'll meet prior to the trailer debut:
Based on the celebrated comic book arc by Chris Claremont & Frank Miller, The Wolverine finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed.
James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma, Knight and Day) is directing The Wolverine from a script by Christopher McQuarrie and Mark Bomback who are adapting the classic 1982 story arc in the Wolverine comics, which takes our favorite mutant all the way to Japan. The cast includes Will Yun Lee as the Silver Samurai, Svetlana Khodchenkova as Viper, Brian Tee, Hiroyuki Sanada and Rila Fukushima. 20th Century Fox is releasing The Wolverine in theaters starting July 26th this summer. Stay tuned for the trailer next.

Fix Fridge Affliction
The first step in getting ready to organize your fridge is the same as the pantry – take everything out and decide whether to keep it, trash it, or donate it to the food bank. Disinfect, and then you are ready for the fun part!
Line the Shelves
Using plastic shelf liner significantly cuts down on fridge cleaning at a later point in time as you can simply strip away the lining and any mess along with it!
Arrange Shelves and Drawers According to Your Preferences
Most people buy the same products consistently, so it makes sense to format your fridge the way you see fit. Structure the shelves and drawers that come with the fridge to fit the products you buy most often. Most new fridges will have easily adjustable parts to do this. If you don't have a fridge like that, read on to the next tip.
Get Baskets and a Lazy Susan
Cluster your things by size and put them in a basket/bin that fits that shape. It's best to use acrylic bins so you can see items clearly. The lazy Susan, along with the bins, ensures that food doesn't get lost in the back.
Store Meat on the Bottom
Keep meats below everything else in case of drips. We don't want contamination!
Clean it Up!
Clean out your fridge approximately once a month to maintain cleanliness and organization. You'll be happy with the results.
I hope these tips were helpful, happy organizing!

During March I published 12 articles on InfoBarrel (8,368 words), 5 articles on Expertscolumn (2,078 words), 1 lens on Squidoo (1,199 words), 1 Hub on HubPages (678 words) and 1 article on Seekyt (1,542 words). I also published 9 outsourced articles (7,415 words) purchased from Zerys across various sites. These articles were bought using Bubblews and Squidoo earnings.
The total number of words written in March was 15,874, up substantially from February although still lower than the target. Again, quite a bit of time was spent on Squidoo lenses, both researching and publishing them, and trying to fix them after Squidoo changed various things.
Article Related Earnings for March
AdSense earnings were slightly down to £2.94, with the majority from Seekyt. This was not unexpected as I had switched to InfoBarrel's Tier 1 ads instead of my own AdSense. Including InfoBarrel's Tier 1 ads, earnings were actually slightly up.
HubPages earnings were up to $0.21 from the HubPages Ad Programme from five Hubs, although still nowhere near their best. HubPages still does not appear to be doing as well as it used to. The increase in earnings was due to increasing the number of Hubs rather than any better performance as yet.
With InfoBarrel I had completely switched to the new advertising system, using both Tier 1 and Tier 2 ads, rather than using my own AdSense and Tier 2. The Tier 2 ads are producing a better CPM from article views, rather than clicks, than was being earned previously, so I have started earning from some of my higher traffic articles which had up until now been largely unsuccessful at converting into advertising clicks. These are therefore earning a small amount from page views. The total earnings from both Tier 1 and Tier 2 was $5.71 with Tier 2 ads earning the most.
RedGage earnings were $0.01 from the two articles published there.
Expertscolumn earnings were $0.27 from 7 articles. Expertscolumn does not appear to be a huge earner, and it is limited in some ways, but I'm using it for some articles that are all under 500 words, don't need pictures, and are less "opinion" based than those I submit to Bubblews. Diversifying income streams is an important tactic.
I didn't find an easier way of calculating Squidoo earnings other than by adding every lenses earnings up individually, so this month I haven't calculated them. I did receive a total of $9.05 from January earnings from 7 lenses, including ad share payments for three lenses. One thing I am certain of is that Squidoo earnings are definitely down.
A Google update seems to have affected the site and my traffic is done about 50%. Squidoo also decided to start giving warnings on various lenses, which would need improving within a week or they would be deleted. This was presumably due to their previous policies causing problems with Google with lots of low content high product lenses. Unfortunately, they didn't bother explaining what was wrong with lenses that had warnings, making it much harder to fix them, especially as what was apparently wrong with one lens would appear to be fine on another. This made fixing them pure guesswork.
I did "fix" all 18 lenses with warnings, but the short time scale in which to do so combined with the lack of any explanation of what was actually wrong with them meant that none of these lenses were actually improved. Many are essentially identical to what they were like before being flagged, with the same content just being used in different modules. This meant this was a complete waste of time and the entire thing was badly planned, explained and executed by Squidoo. A longer time scale with a better explanation of what was wanted would have meant that I could have actually improved them. As it is, I'm uncertain as to what to do in the long term to improve the lenses, as most of the longer lenses with the least number of products were flagged as being "too commercial" whilst those with more products and less content weren't. Sometimes, the "too commercial" warning was fixed by adding more products; which is a truly bizarre way of making a lens less commercial.
As a result of the uncertainty with Squidoo, several articles that were originally intended to be posted there were instead posted on HubPages, and at least one work in progress article is being repurposed with the intent of publishing it on Zujava when it is finished.
Due to the traffic loss on Squidoo I didn't see the earning increase that had been expected from my outsourced lenses by the end of the month.
80 new posts were made on Bubblews. No new article length posts were submitted; due to site problems caused by outgrowing their server hardware which resulted in frequent downtime or poor site performance, I decided to hold off on publishing any until after the server upgrade, although several are finished and ready to be published.
The total earned in March was $72.77 with three payments totalling $75.37 received. Continuing with the residual income testing on the 21 longer articles, these articles earned $2.15 in March, averaging just over $0.10 per article. Again, it appears the continuing performance problems have been affecting the earnings from these. There were about five days in total where I did not submit anything new, but still was earning over a dollar a day from existing content.
This Month
I have sent of my RAID 0 drives off for data recovery, although I haven't received the data back as yet. Initial impressions are that there shouldn't be a problem with this though. This has delayed progress in some areas, and will delay it again when the data is recovered as it will need transferring into a useful and accessible, rather than raw, state. Once that is done, hopefully I will finally get some of my goals done such as adding more Amazon modules.
I plan to have more Hubs posted on HubPages during April, and possibly some more on Wizzley. I hope to get my first "leaf" added to Zujava, although this won't be enough to get out of the Petting Zoo.
I'm currently uncertain as to what to do with Squidoo; traffic and earnings are down, and I'm not sure that Squidoo actually know where they plan to go. I'm also concerned that their filters for low quality lenses might be completely changed, as they certainly appeared to be badly set up.

Last week, Tony Hall revealed his vision to address the woeful figures facing BAME representation both on and off screen. The BBC target for 2020 for off-screen talent is 15% (up from 8.3%). While the BBC's unique position has meant that it has had no choice but to act, we also hope that this will lead to other broadcasters and indies thinking about what they can do over the coming year to effect real change too. Whether the BBC's training and development approach will achieve the results that Lenny Henry feels can only be brought about by ring-fencing, time will tell. I'll join Simone Pennant in "raising a cautionary glass of Cava" and hope that progress can be achieved swiftly without calling into question the massive contributions BAME creatives already make to the television industry.
It is both an insult and a missed opportunity when the television production process does not reflect its
As well as increasing BAME diversity, this year's Ones to Watch are 70% female (something we hope will be heartening news for Jay Hunt, who will be part of this year's Ones to Watch sessions programme) and cover a wide range of roles from within the industry, from writers to producers to VOD schedulers. It's impossible to create an accurate microcosm of the industry in just 30 people, but we hope that this year's successful candidates will have their eyes open to new perspectives, ideas and approaches and learn as much from each other as the senior level talent they'll enjoy intimate audiences with.
If Ones to Watch was a Buzzfeed article – it would be called something like "30 Reasons Why The Future of Television Is Looking Bright". So, finally, here they are: this year's Ones to Watch. If you know them, be sure to send them a virtual pat on the back, high five, hug, hair ruffle or whatever level of congratulation you feel comfortable with.

I have been seeing people queuing for this stall every morning. I actually did not know what was the menu, as I was lazy to join the queue or bother. But the queue on this rainy morning was short, so I gave it a try, and found out he sells congee! A hot congee on rainy morning was truly heartwarming.
I was not very fluently in Thai, so I always ended up say 'yes' all the time. The congee I bought came with half-boild egg, plus minced pork, chopped spring onions, topped with fried garlic, slivered ginger, and spicy pickles such as pickled radish.

This week has been full of stress because it is the beginning of school! Parents, children, college students and teachers all know this time well. As for myself (and my missing post, sorry), I need a stress ball. So I turned to Etsy and found Ambrosia and Bliss out of Wisconsin. She makes stress balls filled not with goo, but calming herbs and scents. Plus, she also offers yarn to use for your own projects while you de-stress. Bonus!
Crabapple Yarn - Suffolk/Hampshire
Serenity Sax - Neopolitan
Serenity Sax - Pacifica
Please stop by her shop and check it out. Any purchase you make will help benefit charity. And how sweet is it to de-stress while you've done a nice thing?
See you tomorrow!

For those of you who don't know, Powers is a series about a world where humans can gain super human abilities, i.e. powers of flight, super strength, and teleportation. The show follows a character by the name of Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley). He's a man who used to go by the code name Diamond and had the power of flight and super strength. Unfortunately, in an altercation with his mentor, he was left powerless. Now he works as a detective for the "Powers Division" of the local police.
Right now is the best time to be a comic book fan. Television and movie theaters are inundated with super hero themed shows and films. Twenty years ago, this was a fantasy and now it's every day life. Due to the fact that the genre has become the norm, fans have to worry about their favorite shows eventually coming to an end. Supergirl is a good example of the genre's first fatality. But thanks to The CW, is can fly for another day. As of right now, Powers is cancelled. But that doesn't mean Bendis has given up all hope for the show.
this is hard to tweet, but word is that @POWERStheSERIES is sadly, no more. season 2 was the last. at least for now. 1/2
— BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS (@BRIANMBENDIS) August 3, 2016
As you can tell by his tweet, he's hoping that another platform (i.e. Netflix or Hulu) will save the show from permanent extinction. It's going to be tough. With the success Netflix has had with shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones, it hard to see a show like Powers (a show that doesn't have the rich history or edge that Daredevil or Jessica Jones has) being saved. On the other hand, Hulu did just lose out on a major deal with The Flash and Arrow. Therefore it's possible that Powers could be resurrected on that streaming service. Bendis tweeted out that, at one point, the show was able to garner 4.5 million viewers on YouTube. That's a lot of viewers, but it also doesn't tell you how many of those 4.5 millions viewers actually stuck around for the entire episode.
For now, Powers is no more.
