More Spring Break photos
While Bill took the upper canyon tour, Emma and I drove around Page a bit and found this scenic view overlooking the dam and the Colorado river.
We stopped in Winslow as we started our way home.
We took turns "standin' on the corner".
There was even a flat bed Ford. . .
Of course I found this sewing machine in the museum across the street!

Two men were indicted by a Los Angeles federal grand jury Friday and a third is being sought by federal authorities in connection with an alleged illegal weapons operation in Santa Ana.
Ronald Zorola and Michael Butler, both 32, were indicted in U. S. District Court on charges of felony possession of firearms, possession of unregistered firearms and possession of firearms without a serial number, according to a court clerk.
A third suspect, believed to be a machinist who produced or altered the weapons, is being sought in connection with a cache of illegal firearms that was seized by federal agents at a Santa Ana duplex on Oct. 18, according to Douglas Gray, a spokesman for the U. S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Authorities know where the machinist works and lives, and could arrest him as early as Monday, Gray said. He refused to give additional details about the investigation.

WHEW! last card now it's off to the party. I wanted to make a very special card for my friends 50th birthday and I got to try all sorts of new products. This may be a little over the top, but hey! it's a 50th birthday. I used my printer to print the 50 and stamped over that image. Instead of using colored card stock for the flowers, I like to sponge the color so they don't look too flat. Here I used blush blossom for a light peach look ( retired). I also like to use sahara sand to distress edges for a softer look.
After today, it's on to the 8th grade dance decorations - No rest for the wicked:)
All Items Stampin' Up! unless indicated
Stamps - Watercolor trio, Just Rite- Kindness
Ink - old olive, crumb cake, blush blossom, sahara sand
Paper - PinkPaisley Butterfly Garden DSP, crumb cake, very vanilla card stock
Accessories - 1 3/4" 1 3/8" 1" circle punches, antique brad, very vanilla seam binding, basic pearl jewels, dimensionals, Spellbinders label #20

Over the last month or so I've been working on new t-shirt designs for my friends band o'death. We ended up going with 3 different designs. 2 were printed on a round of 100 t-shirts each and then a 3rd design was printed on a limited amount of gray sweatshirts.
I've been designing and printing t-shirts for a few years now but have never really taken on larger jobs since the way I print is a very diy way, by simple putting a t-shirt down on my printing table, holding the screen down and printing with a small hand squeegie. This way works great is you are only doing a few t-shirts at a time and don't mind if they all look slightly different, I actually prefer to print my designs this way. But over the last year I've been asked to make more and more band shirts and I prefer not to send off my designs to get printing by anyone else, mostly because Portland does not really have a good t-shirt printer on hand. So I decided to take the money from these last few jobs and buy myself a 4 color t-shirt press! I used it for the first time on these shirts and couldn't be happier! This this is super sturdy and is very easy to use.
I'm hoping this will allow me to feel more confident with my printing skills and open my self up to taking on more jobs and providing something in the community that doesn't really exist. I can also charge a bit less if I'm doing both the designing and printing.
Below you will find a few shots from the last few days of printing. o'death will be taking these shirts on tour with them on their opening slot for the great band Murder By Death. I will be heading down to the Boston date if you want to come hang out!

Keys Hotel, Trivandrum
In order to let locals get a taste and feel of a short vacation to enjoy the best of services and comfort at a pocket-friendly cost, Keys Hotels have introduced the concept of Staycation in India. Sanjay Sethi, Managing Director and CEO, Berggruen Hotels, said, "Staycation is an innovative offering by Keys Hotels for those who want to put their feet up in the air and unwind, miles away from the day-to-day stress of work or managing households. The concept is being pioneered by Keys Hotels at some of our hotels in India. We would like to make our guests feel at home and enjoy our amenities and have a pleasurable stay. We have developed special packages for Staycations comprising world-class hospitality experience at affordable price starting Rs 2,500 onwards."
Talking about the USP of the Staycation concept, Sethi added, "Staycation is cheaper than traveling to another city or a country. You do not have to worry about airfares or transportation costs to and from your hotel. Hotels and resorts nowadays offer special packages to attract locals to their establishments. The trend of Staycation has engrossed hoteliers to offer facilities, which will help families to rejuvenate during weekend, and at Keys, one can enjoy a plethora of offerings like world cuisine menus, sporty restobar, swimming pool, gymnasium, Kerala Ayurvedic spa, children's play area, banquets for parties and entertainment zones and more."
Staycations are not only for families, but also for single women travellers who are professionals looking at a leisurely break from work, or housewives wanting to rejuvenate themselves away from the daily churn of family and kids. In addition, superior standards of security are being offered to women travellers. These are either in a separate wing or are assigned near an elevator, and have a video phone to identify person at the door. They also have extra CCTV surveillance for the corridors. Pradeep V, Chief Sales Officer, Berggruen Hotels, said, "We want to provide an experience to women guests that makes them feel safe, secured and pampered."Source: http://www.travelbizmonitor.com/keys-hotels-introduces-staycation-concept-in-india-19504

We have officially kicked off our Craft a Day 'Til Christmas! Today we made a bow wreath. To prep, I cut out a wreath from cardboard and gathered some stick-on bows. I was just going to have Eva slap the bows on the cardboard but she insisted the wreath needed to be green so she colored it a bit first.

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." –William Shakespeare
In January of 2006, the Hubble Space Telescope — equipped with the greatest telescope camera ever designed — took this detailed picture of globular cluster NGC 1846.
Like most globular clusters, this is a very tight, dense collection of perhaps a few hundred thousand stars, contained in a roughly spherical region just a few light years in size. Unlike most of the globular clusters we know, this one is not located within our own galaxy, but instead is about 160,000 light years away in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
And like all the stars we're familiar with, this globular cluster contains a great many of the great varieties that star colors are allowed to come in: from hot, blue stars to white ones, to cooler yellow, orange, and even the coolest type of all, red stars. But if you look closely, you'll see something in this image that ought to puzzle you terribly: a green-looking object.
Now this should bother you, because there is no such thing as a green star! And while astronomical objects are often falsely-colored in order to maximize contrast and visibility, this is not one of those times, and this object really is green.
So what's going on here? Believe it or not, if we want to understand it, the best way to show you is to take you up in orbit around the Earth.
As you watch the video, you'll of course notice the Earth's cities, the clouds, oceans and land masses, and the occasional spectacular aurora. But what I really want you to look at is the atmosphere over the horizon when there's no aurora present. What you'll see is a greenish haze (possibly with red mixed in), known as the airglow.
What causes this green glow? Believe it or not, this is caused by oxygen atoms cooling down in the nighttime dark, shielded from the Sun. From the International Space Station, this was the view as the final US Space Shuttle mission — Atlantis — returned to Earth.
How does cooling oxygen do this? Like all atoms and molecules, oxygen has a wide variety of energy levels that its electrons can live in. When Ultraviolet light from the Sun comes in and hits the oxygen atoms, some of it is at just the right wavelength to excite its electrons into one of the highest allowable states, in some cases even partially ionizing it.
But when this Ultraviolet light source goes away, hidden by the intervening Earth during the night, those excited electrons drop through the allowable energy levels, emitting a wide variety of photons at very particular wavelengths.
This physical process is something you've heard of before, even if you don't recognize it by its description: fluorescence. These wavelengths are the same for every single atom or molecule of oxygen in the Universe, as they're all governed by the same laws of quantum physics.
And what does the emission spectrum of oxygen look like?
For atomic oxygen that absorbs Ultraviolet light, the strongest emission will occur at a wavelength of 558 nanometers: the very strong green line above!
It's no coincidence at all that this is exactly the dominant wavelength of the green "halos" around dying or recently deceased stars that we sometimes find in planetary nebulae! Have a look at NGC 7009, below.
There are a great many other colors as well, as oxygen is hardly the only element present in planetary nebulae. But when oxygen is abundant, its green glow is unmistakeable, as NGC 6826 shows as well.
Of course, not every planetary nebula has a strong oxygen signature: some don't, like the Ring Nebula (below, left), but some do, like the Dumbbell Nebula (below, right), with its mix of oxygen and hydrogen.
So when you see that green glow coming from what looks like a very diffuse star, you'll know what that is. That's not a star, it's the oxygen, blown off from the outer layers of a star — much like our Sun — that's burned up the last of its fuel. The ultraviolet light that permeates the nebula excites the electrons in the oxygen atoms, and when they transition back down, that green glow we see comes from those oxygen atoms fluorescing.
And — from 160,000 light years away — that's exactly what we're seeing. Enjoy the brilliant green glow from beyond our galaxy, and know that someday far into the future, our Sun will look an awful lot like that. The green color tells you it isn't a star, but the halo of oxygen tells you it used to be!

Two injured in Wednesday head-on crash south of Deer Park
A Deer Park man was seriously injured Wednesday evening in a head-on crash on Highway 46, after he swerved to avoid a deer in the road.
According to the St. Croix County Sheriff's Office, 34-year-old Jeffrey Kobs was hospitalized after the crash, reported at 6:19 p.m.near 215th Avenue in the town of Cylon.
Chief Deputy Scott Knudson said Kobs was northbound in a 2002 Kia Rio on Highway 46 when he encountered the deer and crossed the centerline, striking a 2011 Chevrolet Colorado driven by 45-year-old Brent Zehm.
Kobs was transported to Westfields Hospital in New Richmond. Zehm, of Emerald, was also injured and was taken by ambulance to a medical facility.
Knudson said alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash. Both men were wearing seat belts.
Kobs was cited for failure to have control of his vehicle, Knudson said.

Sam Clemens lived in an era where Spiritualism was prevalent in all areas of life. Many dinner parties of the time had mediums for entertainment. It was seen both as a party activity and as a way to deal with the losses from the Civil War, particularly the Gettysburg Battle in which hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed. Spiritualism was a way for people to not have to entirely give up their lost family members, a way for them to stay in touch. The great losses that came about as a result of the Civil War also brought about a newfound popularity of Spirit photography. These photographs claimed to capture a spirit in the background of a photo of their loved one. One such photo is of Mary Todd Lincoln with the spirit of her husband, Abraham Lincoln behind her.
Clemens first started to be actively involved in the Spiritualism movement when he moved to San Francisco in 1864, where there were a huge number of people who believed in spiritualism. He started writing about spiritualism in many articles, which were later republished in a newspaper called, The Golden Era, in 1866. He then started to go to Pellet Readings with Ada Foye, who was a famed spiritualist. These Pellet Readings would include putting many names on balled pieces of paper into a hat and then writing a name on a piece of paper and then pulling out the pellets until they reach the person that they are called to, supposed to be the same name that the spiritualist wrote down. Sam believed that these Pellet Readings were legitimate and did not find any untruthfulness to the first one he attended or any of the others that followed.
Spiritualism was not only popular in San Francisco; the Nook Farm area was populated with many people who deeply believed in ghosts. Harriet Beecher Stowe had many conversations with Charlotte Bronte through a medium, and later wanted to write articles about these conversations. The Cheney's would host many parties all the time, hosting mediums for the entertainment for the party guests.
Then in the 1880's furthering his interest in Spiritualism, Sam joined the Society for Psychic Research. In addition to Sam's many other connections to Spiritualism, no one can deny the strangeness of his being born and dying both times when Haley's Comet came. This renewed interested in spiritualism for Sam could have been tied to Suzy's death, because she was the first of his children to die. Sam continued to feel a connection to all of his daughters even after they died. Sam was said to have felt a cool breeze in the bathroom, which was where Jean died.
All these connections that Sam had to spiritualism has had its impact on the house, because today many people are said to have felt various spirits in the house. Come to the Ghost Tours this month to find out!

When Mays and Luciano Di Pietro visited Sicily, they made sure that they would spend their last day indulging in decadent handmade pastries. Upon finding their favorite pastry shop, located in a small winding alley, they finally sat down to enjoy their 'last' sip of espresso, traditional Sicilian cookies and cannolis. It suddenly dawned on them that the only way they could relive this experience is by booking their next trip back to the idyllic island. Instead of pining for their holiday, they decided to recreate these memories in their hometown of Kuwait.
Their Journey started three years ago when they booked yet another visit to Sicily, except this time they would be attending artisanal pastry training courses with one of the island's most renowned chefs. There, they inherited the art of how to prepare these little pastries, and even earned their barista aprons as well as becoming trained in latte art. This happily married couple acknowledges that they've spent countless days and nights of dedicated hard work to turn, adapt and create their own signature recipes. As a result, they've managed to finally introduce Pasticceria Di Pietro, truly marking this home business as Kuwait's first Sicilian pastry shop.
Both Mays and Luciano lead creative careers, their passion for baking is unequivocal, and kept growing as they grew their business. While Mays works as an interior designer and Luciano works in digital marketing and social media, they both channeled their artistic talents into the wide range of pastries offered at the Pasticceria. They claim equal merit when it came to developing all of their recipes, and they both put in the time in the kitchen in preparing the sweets. Speaking of the actual sweets, the range of delights offered at the Pasticceria include cakes, cookies, homemade candied orange peel and of course, their very famous cannolis. We absolutely fell in love with the indulgent, chewy almond and pistachio cookies that are made without using any flour, butter or oil.
The cannolis, however, it's truly unique and distinctive amongst their offerings. For those of you who haven't encountered this Sicilian delight, it is a golden, crunchy pastry shell that is super light, and then filled with sweet homemade ricotta cream. We wondered why the Di Pietro's chose the cannoli and other Sicilian pastries as their items of focus, as Italy has many sweet bounties to offer. They passionately explained that most of the pastries that they prepare in Kuwait have a unique story that is deeply rooted in Sicily's heritage. It is one that is historically multicultural, as the Arabs once occupied the island along with the Greeks and the French, yet these new cultures, at the time, assimilated with Italian traditions as well. In fact, some of these sweets even date back to the 17th and 18th century. These communities played a role in putting together those rich and vibrant flavors that we taste today…those cannolis must have been darn good to survive all these years. Centuries later, Mays and Luciano have added their own spin on their handmade ricotta cream, and they proudly boast of their many flavors. From the iconic and always classic and traditional Cannoli Siciliani flavor, salted caramel, Nutella, peanut butter and much more, this Sicilian favorite is taken to new delicious levels at the Pasticceria Di Pietro. We urged them to let us in on their 'best' flavors, and they tempted us by adding that every occasion has its flavor. They most definitely favor the traditional Cannoli Siciliani, as the signature ricotta cream is mixed in with chocolate bits, chopped homemade orange peel and pistachios. The cannoli is then crowned with a strip of candied orange peels from each ends of the delight, along with crunchy pistachio toppings. The end result, a light and airy yet sinuously creamy filled infused with aroma and texture. For those of you craving something on the savory side, may be available upon request.
Since they've embarked on selling their goods online and even at several markets and event activities, both Mays and Luciano have received accolades from their customers, and this bazaar team. They are currently focusing on moving their business from the home to a physical pastry shop. Until then, feel free to order their yummy goodies online or via whatsapp!
For more information or to order online, please visit pasticceriadipietro.com, and find them on Instagram @Dipietro_kw. You can also order via Whatsapp: 6511 9921.

Stranger Things' Gaten Matarazzo Stars in Darren Criss' 'Lost Boys Life' Music Video - Watch Now!
Darren Criss and Gaten Matarazzo made a music video together!
The 30-year-old Glee alum was thrilled when the 14-year-old Stranger Things actor agreed to star in the latest music video for his alt-pop band, Computer Games.
Darren's band just dropped the video for their album's title track, "Lost Boys Life."
In it, Gaten plays a conflicted lost boy, navigating his way through his mundane morning of putting on a tie and dealing with his co-workers at the office – until he discovers an electric guitar and a new love interest.
"I had a blast performing with Darren at Elsie Fest last year," Gaten said. "That was the first time we had ever met and instantly became buddies. When he sent me the treatment to Computer Games' music video, I was like, 'Rock on! I'm in!'"
"We're both huge fans of Stranger Things," Darren's bandmate, his brother Chuck, added. "The song shares many of the same electronica influences that can be heard throughout the series."
"It was always going to be Gaten," Darren chimed in. "We wrote the entire treatment around him. Thank God he said yes, because otherwise it probably would have just been me, running around in a silly wig, trying to be Gaten."
Directed by Mia Elan, the video also includes live shots from the band's first-ever, sold-out show at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles.
Watch below! And if you missed it, be sure to check out Computer Games' full EP here, and their music video for "Every Single Night" here.

South Koreans Don't Play….
October 6, 2009
October is starting with complete business already. I have experienced my first Korean Chusok which is like the Amerian Thanksgiving. The city of Seoul was almost like a ghost land because all the people leave the city to go stay with relatives in the countryside. I took advantage of this and drove to the store a couple of times! Also, it is so neat when I get to go to a Korean non denominational worship service. The band is always rocking and everyone in the building is engaged worshiping the Lord, like a live concert. Everyone young, old and in between are clapping, singing or praying as hard as they can and not caring who is around at all. What a statement these people make when they worship. Another interesting thing for me to go to these churches is that they are usually in basement floors. This service took place in the 4th Basement floor and it had no windows. It is hard for me to grasp this concept, especially for me being a southern girl who grew up on a farm but it is still interesting and awesome to experience to say the least. These people are also praying for a miracle and we know that only God can do this miracle and that is for the wall to come down. Prayers are bombarding heaven for the unity of the church and denominations in Seoul and South Korea and they are believing when this happens, that the north and the south will be united. On a personal note, please pray for me to be a good steward of my time as I am taking Korean language and master's courses. I am still praying if I can juggle it all. Thanks for all of your prayers!!

|Imposition of ashes, from the Missal à l'usage de Saint-Didier d'Avignon, ca. 1370.
© Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes - CNRS
From Mother Mary Elizabeth:
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. It is always a very important time for us here and for the entire world. It is the beginning of an annual Lenten retreat that God takes the world on in order to try to recenter our focus and get our priorities more in line with the true reality: God and our eternal life. We get so caught up by things that won't matter next week, let alone in a year or ten!
Here's a beautiful passage for reflection taken from the liturgy of the day:
This, rather, is the fasting that I wish:releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke;
Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke;
Sharing your bread with the hungry,
sheltering the oppressed and the homeless;
Clothing the naked when you see them,
and not turning your back on your own,
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,
and your wound shall quickly be healed;
Your vindication shall go before you,
and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer,
you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am!

Premier League's heavyweights have been alerted by the presence of a £22m buyout clause in Marouane Fellaini's contract, which can only be triggered by a club in the Champions League, reports the Daily Mail.
The Belgian has started 16 Premier League games for Everton this season, scoring eight goals and notching up three assists in the process. Chelsea and Arsenal have previously been linked with the 25-year-old and the European champions are understood to be favourites to land the midfielder as they look for a replacement for veteran Frank Lampard. The Blues have refused to offer Lampard a contract extension and his agent has confirmed that the player will leave the club in the summer.
Fellaini had previously iterated his desire to play for a team in the Champions League, but backtracked on his comments after coming under fire from the club and fans. David Moyes has recently stressed that the club would not sell Fellaini in January but the Scot is also aware of the fact that things can change quickly in the transfer window, reminiscent of Mikel Arteta's move to Arsenal in the final hour of the 2011 summer transfer window. Everton have recently posted a loss of £9m for last season, but Moyes is adamant that the figures won't have any bearing on the Toffees's transfer activity in January.
"I don't really study the figures too much. I just know we sold a lot of players last year. There is no pressure to sell [Leighton] Baines or Fellaini, nothing like that. Remember we have recently sold Jack Rodwell. Last season we sold Arteta, so we have sold one or two players. Things can happen very quickly, albeit my plans aren't to sell anybody," the manager said.
Moyes will be boosted by the fact that Fellaini has agreed to see out his contract, which runs till 2016, and help Everton in their attempt to qualify for the Champions League this season. The Merseyside outfit are currently fifth in the league, two points behind Chelsea, who have played a game less.

Hi everyone,
We departed Mossel Bay at 1145 this morning. We are currently at 34 27S 21 49E, motoring at 4.5 knots on a course of 270M. The wind is 3-5 knots from the S with a long 3-4m swell also from the S. The mainsail is giving the motor a little help but the headsail won't set due to the pitching caused by the seas.
We are in company with Pipistrelle and Anke-Sophie still, although I expect they'll gradually pull ahead of us. We all spent yesterday at anchor in Mossel Bay as the westerly blow came through. It wasn't particularly strong but it blew from the W-SW all afternoon and most of the night. It was nice to have a lazy day at anchor, although we did get some jobs done. I gave the waterline, the log impeller, the engine intake and the rudder a quick clean. The water was surprisingly mild at 22C. The water offshore is about 19C around here.
The weather for this passage isn't great. We expect to have to motor most of the way in very light winds. Happily the 3-4m swell is predicted to die away overnight to 1-2m. The passage is about 220nm and we have 195nm to run at present.
Speaking of motoring, there was no sign of black debris in the engine's fresh water system when we checked it in Mossel Bay. So perhaps the previous debris was a one-off event caused by the brief overheat in Reunion. We'll know more after this passage!
Trust all's well where you are.

Innovator of the Year 2012 | Education
The Unlikely Reformer
When former Hollywood mogul Eric Eisner decided to help the smartest students in the roughest Los Angeles schools reach their potential, he led them to a brighter future the only way he knew how: one dream at a time
ERIC EISNER SEEMS an improbable character to have become one of the great innovative—and philanthropic—forces in education today. As a teenager, he played drums in Greenwich Village clubs instead of getting a good night's rest for school. After attending law school at Columbia, he moved to Los Angeles, where he turned himself into a movie and music mogul, becoming the president of the Geffen Company. As a Hollywood power broker, he made million-dollar deals and lunched with Tom Cruise, Tim Burton and Martin Scorsese. Everything he did, he says today, he did in order to make money— and for no other reason. He reveled...

HOUSTON -- For the second time in three years, Clay Buchholz is sitting on the sidelines in the second half after dominating in the season's first few months.
He made 12 starts with a 1.71 ERA in 2013 before he went on the disabled list on June 18 with a neck strain and stayed out until September. This year he lasted 16 starts while posting a 3.26 ERA until he felt his right elbow stiffen up and landed on the DL with a right flexor strain on July 11.

Products that offer protection for a cedar deck include water-repelling clear finishes, toners and solid stains. Many of these products come in either water-based or oil-based formulas.
It is important to protect cedar and other types of wood decks from the elements. Even decks that do not receive much rain have to be protected from the damaging effects of sunlight, and there is a variety of products on the market designed to meet this need.
Solid stains offer the most protection for a cedar deck. They look like paint and offer both ultraviolet protection and water protection. There are several brands of solid stain available including Behr and Sure Step. Find both of these brands at major home improvement stores such as HomeDepot.com.
Clear sealers protect cedar from moisture. This type of wood treatment allows the natural beauty of the wood to show while offering durable protection. Brands of clear wood sealers include TriCoPolymer, Rain-X and Rain Guard.
Toners are another product that protects wood against moisture, and some offer the added benefit of protecting wood against UV rays. Toners come in a wide variety of colors. Because of wood's tendency to take color in different ways, always test a toner on an inconspicuous area before treating the whole deck. Flood makes an effective cedar toner that dries to the touch in 30 minutes and protects against UV rays and mildew.

First off, sorry that I haven't been blogging as much lately. I've been getting more hours at the company I work at and haven't had much time to go online. [I.E. I'm not dead.] Secondly, After watching this video I feel motivated to do something creative with my life instead of just doing a simple job that anyone can do. Check it out, and let me know what you think!

The Hollywood Reporter has written up a piece on the reasons Charlie Hunnam bailed on playing Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie adaptation. Among those include the script (which is now being rewritten by Patrick Marber) for which he apparently supplied "very detailed script notes" and that he began butting heads with the creative team, including director Sam Taylor-Johnson.
However, among all this the one item I can't seem to overlook is the idea he was only going to be paid $125,000 for his part in the film. Granted, Hunnam isn't a major movie star at the moment, but he is the star of FX's hit television show "Sons of Anarchy", a show that in 2011 reportedly carried "a budget of $2 million to $2.5 million per episode" according to the Los Angeles Times. I couldn't find specific details on Hunnam's contract, but to think he'd only be paid $125,000 for everything he'd have to put up with by participating in Fifty Shades seems ridiculous.
While the THR article makes no mention of it, I have to assume Hunnam was going to get some portion of the backend and had he decided to stick around and play the character for the sequels he would have commanded a much higher pay day. In this day and age, however, after seeing what actors such as Twilight performers Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have to go through to play these high-profile, yet throwaway roles, if I was a talent agent I'm not sure I could suggest my client say "yes" to any of these projects. It just doesn't seem worth it.

Looks like it was fun. Id like to go Skiing or snowboarding.
What's to be said? I just a non-regular 21 year-old Argentinian :P I have a sharp interest in anything related to science and I love to put my mind into any subject, so beware to start a discussion with me! (chadaFACE would know). well, what else... I've had over 10k visitors to date, so that must mean that I'm quite popular (or so does my ego like to beleive). what else, what else... Oh I almost forgot. I'm a modest mission maker for the game Nexus: The jupiter incident, but I'll expand my horizons sooner than later. I'm currently working in the mod Stargate: War Begins (yeah, you've probably guessed I'm a stargate fan by now) as a mission maker and mild coder, and also trying to finish a damn book I've been writing since I was 12.
Looks like it was fun. Id like to go Skiing or snowboarding.
it was. Specially when we desided to go... offtrack. and ended up in a river :P
yeah. It was a pain to get out of there, every step you made in the snow buried your foot in the snow up to the height of your knee..
River you say...must have been cold (to say the least!).
not so much, it wasn't too deep. and only my sister fell in it :P a friend of mine and I managed to sort it last-minute.
I can't wait to go snowboarding!!!!!.... getting my seasons pass next month :)
season pass? lucky you...

Jason Sparks Live is where Damon Archer made his first gay porn appearance and he then went on to work for other gay porn studios including Helix Studios and Man Royale. Damon only stayed in the adult industry for a year or two before retiring according to Jason Sparks, but he has made a return and is joined by Zach Lockhart and newbie gay porn performer Trent Tyler. This might be a rare return appearance based on the wording used by Jason, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see, because things in life are always subject to change. Trent had a fantasy which Jason turned into reality, so watch as Trent gets his ass and mouth tag teamed in this hot bareback update that was filmed at the same hotel where Damon shot his first scene in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Watch as Damon and Zach take turns pounding Trent's ass using their raw cocks, with no rubbers or protection used to provide each of the participants with as much pleasure as possible from the skin on skin stimulation.

CETA: Programs for School Administrators
Educators > CETA > Programs > Programs for School Administrators
Recognizing the key role school administrators play in teachers' professional learning and the inclusion of arts education programs in schools, the Kennedy Center has established and co-chairs two groups of local administrators: THE PRINCIPALS' ARTS EDUCATION FORUM and THE COUNCIL OF METROPOLITAN ARTS SUPERVISORS. Each group meets four times each year at the Kennedy Center to address issues related to the improvement of education, specifically education in the arts. In addition, members serve in an advisory capacity to the Kennedy Center Education Department and provide important information about the critical education issues affecting the schools and advice concerning professional learning needs.
Principals' Arts Education Forum
Established in 1995, the Principals' Arts Education Forum includes more than 200 members—principals and assistant principals—who are concerned about improving arts education programs in their schools. Convened at the Kennedy Center four times a year, the meetings provide information about such topics as arts advocacy, current research in arts education, arts integration, and ways to strengthen school arts programs. In addition, each year a principal hosts a site visit to his/her school to showcase their arts education programs.
Council of Metropolitan Arts Supervisors
Established by the Kennedy Center in 1981, the Council of Metropolitan Arts Supervisors is comprised of arts instructional supervisors from 16 school districts in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The Council provides a valuable forum for and support of arts in the schools. Meeting topics have included assessment in the arts, advocacy, the changing role of the arts supervisor, research in arts education, and innovative arts programs in schools. In addition, the Council and the Kennedy Center annually co-sponsor a workshop for arts specialists.

Ador needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 73 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
ador - Australian Dining Out Reviews
community-driven website for dining-out activities. through restaurant reviews, users share their best gastronomic experiences in town.
1. Its not to create a new design/concept. Main goal is to enhance&refine our current 4-squre concept web logo (file logo_web.jpg attached) with a fresher & edgier look in the space of 607x81pixcels
2. New web logo must blend in with our current web design well. our website: http://www.ador.com.au/
3. To replace the flower on logo_web.jpg with some new ideas. seeking ideas to improve the shape/colour/lime colour lumination of 4-squres to achieve a sharp and shining feel.
4. To refine our current logo squares to have more shiny/3-d square buttny feel. ie Scribe's winning design of "DriveInSpeakers"
5. To focus on "Review" with abstract shapes, NOT to be associated with "Dining" so ideas of fork, cutleries, plates etc should not be included in the design.
6. In attached "shining_square.psd" file, like the colour gradience and its sharp & shining feel, except the button's rounded corners (squares preferred in straight right angle, not rounded corners)

Copper/Nickel Contents
Hi, I am wondering if someone could quickly recap some thing for me.
I got a very large empty water cooler jug, that is full of change that I have thrown in there over the past 2 years or so. Everything from cents to quarters. (I have looked for all varieities and mules before throwing them in there, so they have been searched). Anyway I need to cash these in.I can't even lift the thing anymore. With the price of copper and nickel being so high, Im thinkiing I'll just keep these, for their metal content. Who knows how I can capitalize on that.
Can someone quickly advise me what coin denomination and years contain pure nickel and copper?

I've been very busy of late, and this explains my absence from this blog.
Things have definitely been churning on the marital front, but it's hard to tell really what's going on. I am reminded of the expression that "things always get worse before they get better," and that definitely seems to be true.
My wife has been unusually communicative over the past couple of weeks, but for the most part this has been rather nasty and hostile communication. But, there was at least one surprise.
Basically, the story is this: last month, my wife filed a "confirmation of issues" document with the court, which is a procedural document for which she is supposed to solicit my response. She did not do this, and instead just filed it, stating that I refused to cooperate. Huh? Well, the truth is that I would not have signed it in all likelihood, but since she did this, we are now ordered to appear at a status conference on Friday.
She ended up contacting me in the past few days to tell me that she was mailing the same document to me again, and wanted me to sign it. I guess she does not want to go to this conference, ostensibly because she does not want to have to see me. We had a back and forth via email over the past couple of days regarding this document; essentially, I was trying to get her to speak with my by phone, to which she predictably demurred.
However, quite unexpectedly, she offered to come by the house yesterday, essentially to get this document signed. I could not make this happen, as I (like most people) had to work. She was not flexible at all with her timeline—it was either that morning or nothing. So, we did not see each other. She had other random and relatively non-sensical things to say.
There are some other things brewing that I cannot get into, as I do not quite know all the details. She seems to be, well, rather crazy right now. I think she is really struggling and is doing everything she can to keep her fantasy life in place. There is a real sense of desperation about her actions and her energy.
Not sure where things are going from here. It is a weird phase, to be sure.

Prosecutions Continue In Illegal Re-entry Cases Involving Those With Prior Criminal Records
MINNEAPOLIS -- In the District of Minnesota, court action continued this week in St. Paul for two separate cases regarding Mexican nationals who entered the United States illegally after being deported as criminals. In each case, the individual was charged with one count of illegal re-entry after removal.
In the first case, Lorenzo Armendariz-Sanchez, age 45, pleaded guilty earlier today. He was indicted on May 21, 2013, and entered his plea before United States District Court Judge Donovan W. Frank. In his plea agreement, Armendariz-Sanchez admitted that on April 21, 2013, authorities found him in the U.S. illegally after he had been previously deported. His deportation followed a 1998 Faribault County conviction for burglary in the first degree. On April 21, authorities identified Armendariz-Sanchez, also known as Lorenzo Sanchez Armendariz, as an alien with a criminal record while he was in the Blue Earth County Jail, where he was being held after an arrest for burglary and domestic assault.
Identification was made through the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's ("ICE") Criminal Alien Program ("CAP"). One of the goals of that program is to locate criminal aliens incarcerated in federal and state prisons, as well as in local jails, and prevent them from being released into society by having them federally prosecuted.
For his crime, Armendariz-Sanchez faces a potential maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison, followed by deportation. Judge Frank will determine his sentence at a future hearing, yet to be scheduled. This case is the result of an investigation by ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations ("ICE ERO"). It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Katharine T. Buzicky.
In the second case, on July 18, 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Paul A. Magnuson sentenced Mario Mireles-Flores, age 24, to 58 months. He was indicted on January 8, 2013, and pleaded guilty on April 2, 2013. In his plea agreement, Mireles-Flores admitted that on December 5, 2012, authorities found him in the U.S. illegally after he had been previously deported. His deportation followed a 2010 McLeod County conviction for escape from custody. Authorities recently identified him as an alien with a criminal record while he was serving a sentence in the Sibley County Jail for providing false information to police. That identification was made through the CAP.
This case was the result of an investigation by ICE ERO.
In some instances, federal prosecution occurs only after the individual has been prosecuted for the recent underlying offense. Both men will remain in custody until their current federal cases are resolved. To learn more about the CAP, visit www.ice.gov/criminal-alien-program/

Australia - Broadband Market - Insights, Statistics and Forecasts
Broadband market enters a new era following the NBN strategic review
The National Broadband Network continuing evolution
Since being implemented in 2012, Australia's NBN has undergone significant changes. The late-2013 strategic review of the NBN, commissioned by a newly elected government, established a very different framework. Instead of 93% of the population being covered by FttP, the new architecture has called for a hybrid network incorporating FttP and FttN, and utilising existing DSL and HFC plant.
Overall, the initial development of the NBN reflected a serious response to the relatively poor quality of Australia's broadband infrastructure. It was also a response to the intransigence of the dominant telco, Telstra. The government was minded to change its broadband infrastructure plan from a regional to a national focus, which to a degree has been linked to the development of the digital economy supporting policies relating to e-commerce, e-health, e-education and smart grid infrastructure. These are all aimed at utilising the NBN for a myriad of purposes beyond broadband.
Residential and business broadband markets: growing adoption of faster services
Although the business market in Australia was quick to embrace broadband, mainly to access faster data speeds, a significant proportion of smaller operators has yet to establish an online presence, and by early 2014 only about 38% had a business website.
The government's 'Broadband Availability and Quality' report, published in December 2013, showed that 1.4 million premises (13% of the total) across many areas of the country had no adequate broadband infrastructure. These areas include regional and remote regions but also pockets within urban communities. Given the state of broadband availability and speeds, many businesses still depend on mobile rather than fixed-line broadband. A growing number in areas where access to the NBN has been made available have switched to fibre broadband services, which enable these companies to compete in the global economy more effectively. The faster speeds of fibre infrastructure will see the rapid adoption by businesses of services such cloud computing, online interaction, and media conferencing.
Business broadband has also allowed greater choices in working environments, with the ability for employees to tele-work, either from home or on the road while making use of improved mobile broadband. As such, smartphones and tablets form an increasing part of the business ICT environment.
DSL and HFC markets: stable growth as copper plant survives within the NBN
0The DSL sector continues to show resilience in the marketplace, bolstered in recent years by operators adopting new technologies which can deliver greater data capacity on legacy copper infrastructure. In conjunction with Telstra's unbundled local loop service, which provides a platform for competitors to offer broadband services, the slow-down in the rollout of the NBN has also meant that the number of customers expected to migrate from copper to fibre-based services is far lower than initial NBN Co forecasts. Many telcos have installed their own DSLAM infrastructure, enabling them to provide fairly high-speed internet services via ADSL2+.
0Following the strategic review of the NBN, which emphasised a combination of FttN and HFC architecture, the transition from DSL to fibre-based infrastructure is likely to be on a far smaller scale than formerly envisaged.
The cable sector has been stable in recent years, and though Telstra and Optus have upgraded parts of their cable networks with DOCSIS3.0 technology, there has been little investment in expanding network footprint given that operators expected these networks to be incorporated within the NBN and then superseded by FttP. The new NBN has placed a greater emphasis on existing hybrid fibre coax plant being part of the national broadband plan. As such, many cable customers in NBN areas will not be migrated to the new fibre network.
In early 2014 there are fewer than one million cable broadband subscribers, accounting for less than to 8% of the total broadband market in Australia. However, most of these subscribers are high-end users providing relatively high ARPU for the cablecos.
Mobile broadband growth supported by Australia's globally impressive LTE infrastructure
By the end of 2014 about a third of Australia's mobile subscribers will be on LTE networks. Telstra took the lead in this market, followed by Optus and Vodafone which launched services during 2013. These MNOs have invested in spectrum and network upgrades to bolster network capacity, while the geographic extension of LTE will see wider take-up from consumers in coming years. Although the MNOs will be expecting a greater return on their investments, partly by charging a premium for LTE services, price competition will keep revenue growth low.
This report provides key data and in-depth analysis on trends in the Australian broadband market. It reviews the NBN since its inception in 2007, as provides insights into the steps that have been taken subsequently. It assesses the ISP market, detailing the number of operators in each sector as well as the strategies of the major players. Comparisons with international markets are included to present an overview of the broadband landscape. It also analyses the drivers behind internet adoption among Australian households, supported by a range of surveys and statistical overviews from sources including the ABS, ACMA and the government's Broadband Availability and Quality Report.

associated press
The original purpose of the Associated Press was to pool together resources of various newspapers in order to be able to cover and share reporting on different events around the world. Otherwise, it simply wasn't practical for every local newspaper to have a Washington DC bureau or a London bureau or a Moscow bureau or whatever other location needed news reporting. And then, the idea was that by collectively teaming up, each of the local newspapers could reprint the works from others (and from the AP's own reporters) and have a complete newspaper on their own. But does that even make any sense in an internet era? The NewsFuturist blog notes that the internet has basically done away with the two key reasons that explain the AP's very existence, which probably explains why they're trying out questionable ideas designed to hold back the power of the internet, rather than embracing it. Could there be a place for a modern Associated Press? Absolutely. But its core purpose needs to be entirely different from what it's been for most of the AP's history. Each newspaper doesn't need to copy the same report from the White House briefing room. Everyone can just link to different reports (including more than just one to give multiple perspectives). The whole reason for the AP's very charter makes little sense these days, and it's time for the AP to come to terms with that, and adapt... or go away.

Anonymous Coward, 27 Jul 2009 @ 9:21pmAre you suggesting that we go to "news by press release"?
Big Al, 27 Jul 2009 @ 11:22pm
Re:No, I think it's more in the realm of resource-sharing - you can collect news in your area and share it with me, while I share my local area news with you, but it's not an exclusive deal on either side. That way I'm competing with other locals just as you are, so you'd better give me a reason to use your service over your competitors', just as I'm giving you a good reason to use mine. Hey, we just got a competitive marketplace again!

Re:"News by press release"?
The article implies that readers will utilize other sources for news beyond the coverage sphere of the local paper, such as BBC, CNN, etc.
Anonymous Coward, 28 Jul 2009 @ 12:27pm
Re: Re:Except that BBC, CNN, and others are reliant on services such as AP for much of their news (including initial reports of breaking news). So CNN and the like would have to massively increase their staffing to maintain the same level of coverage. Doesn't seem like the AP is irrelevant to me.

Re: Re: Re:Actually, I do not think either of those organizations use AP. And this post is specifically about the ineptitude of the Associated Press, not wire services in general.
And I disagree that either of these organizations have to "massively increase" anything. That's kinda the point the newsfuturist was making in the first place.

Yogi, 27 Jul 2009 @ 11:38pm
So trueA local blogger's coverage of events is sometimes much more comprehensive , detailed and meaningful, not to mention more factual, than the crap that Ap stringers tend to churn out.
Ap's reports are so formulaic you have to wonder if anyone is actually out there in the field looking at reality.

It is interesting you bring up evolution. Most people think evolution is individual animals "changing" to suit their environments. But "evolution" and "adaption" refer to species, or groups of animals. Evolution works by *killing off* the weak animals, not having them "adapt" to their environment (which is very difficult and rare). Those animals that are left just happened to be more suited to the environment, and were *born* that way.
For example, say a bear was born with more fur than his peers and struggled for years until the global temperature dropped. That previous disadvantage became an advantage, and he (and his children) would have more offspring than his (less furry) peers.
So ... it is much more likely that the AP will just die off (or the leadership will "die off") and others will take their place, rather than the AP "adapting".
Anonymous Coward, 28 Jul 2009 @ 5:48amWhat is really funny is that most people don't understand how widely used the AP services are, and what that really entails. Heck, Mike, you pointed out the other day that the BBC news service uses AP.
It's easy to dismiss AP as a dinosaur of the newspaper age, but since that isn't their only use, it would be a rush to damn a concept that in the end is needed in the future.
Mike Masnick (profile), 28 Jul 2009 @ 10:51am
Re:Heck, Mike, you pointed out the other day that the BBC news service uses AP.
Actually, no, that's untrue. We saw that the BBC *copied* an AP report. Not that they use the AP. Quite different.

Re: Re: Re:So you are suggesting that the BBC is not a valid AP user, and stole their story? Are you sure that you would want to say that in public?
I never said they stole the story. I said they rewrote it. And that's exactly what the AP is up in arms about with others, but they have not said anything about the BBC doing so.
BAlbrecht (profile), 28 Jul 2009 @ 9:37am
Not there yet.Sometimes we tend to forget that the average reader of this blog is an individual who likely uses the internet for a great deal of their news and information gathering. I would contend however that at least in the US, we have yet to become the majority (though this will likely change in the next decade or so).
I live in a fairly rural and isolated area where there are still quite a substantial portion of the populace without a broadband connection. For those individuals, the national and international coverage that AP provides for the local paper is hardly irrelevant.
Having said that, I think our local daily (which I personally find to be a piece of garbage) would be better served by hiring a staff member or two to research the internet (and other sources) and find stories relevant to our community. A local reporter could then provide some contextualization to the big stories, while the 5 sentence digest stories could be be gleaned from just about anywhere. The AP in its current role is indeed unnecessary in such a model. See ya!
Steffan, 29 Jul 2009 @ 10:59pm
Re: Not there yet.I agree, although a lot of people get their news from the internet it's about trust, and most people over 35 don't trust the internet, they trust what they see on the news and in the newspaper regardless of quality or objectivity.
The question is how to we improve the trust of the internet to people who are still not used to it?
Overcast (profile), 30 Jul 2009 @ 8:44pm
Re: Re: Not there yet.they trust what they see on the news and in the newspaper regardless of quality or objectivity.
I'm over 35 and oh no, no, no - I do not trust the 'news' at all - it's owned by the same big corporate interests and elites that are in the back pocket of the Government - or wait, is that the government in the back pocket of the elites? :)
I'd trust half the blogs out there before Faux News, CNN, AP, etc. I know of those that own most of them and certainly wouldn't trust those entities.
Either way, I prefer new media and more objective sources that aren't so obsessed with dirty laundry and cash flow.
Funny when you take money out of the picture how much more 'sincere' things can be.
But I'm not so sure there's anything we could really do to improve people's trust of the internet - but I must admit, the lax reporting and agendas the 'mainstream' (for lack of a better word) news has will do that job with their spin, political agendas, catering to big business and government..

I believe we can all agree on the root cause of the state's $20-billion budget gap.
It's welfare: all those millions of taxpayer dollars going to recipients who line up for their government handouts instead of competing in the marketplace on a level playing field like the rest of us, who don't pay their fair share of taxes and who get protected by a politically powerful lobby.
Yes, I'm talking about the business community.
Hiltzik column: Michael Hiltzik's column in Sunday's Business section says that $1 billion in revenue from a state oil severance tax would benefit 1 billion children in the CalWORKS program. As indicated elsewhere in the column, the correct figure is more than 1 million children. —
For all the hand-wringing by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger about how there's almost nothing left to cut in the state budget except services to children, the aged and the destitute, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent every year on handouts to business. That's despite the lack of evidence that some of these programs keep employers in the state, lure employers from out of state or are cost-effective in any general way.

UNITIED STATES v. LARRY WAYNE ELLIS, 301-CR-020-X, USDC, NDTX (Dallas Division)
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. LARRY W. ELLIS, Civil Action No. 3-00CV1040-P, USDC, NDTX (Dallas Division)
On July 23, 2001, Judge Joe Kendall sentenced Larry Wayne Ellis ("Ellis"), the former operator of ATM Technology Systems, a Dallas-based business, to serve 46 months plus three years probation. Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud on May 9, 2001.
Ellis' plea and sentencing stems from a January 24, 2001 grand jury indictment charging him with one count of securities fraud and 28 counts of mail fraud. The indictment charged that Ellis, from approximately March 1995 through April 2000, induced investors to loan funds to him to operate his ATM machines by making such false and misleading claims as:
The indictment also charged that Ellis failed to disclose that investor funds would be misapplied and converted to his personal use and that, in a typical Ponzi-type pattern, investors would be, and were, paid interest from other investor funds.
The federal indictment was based upon the same conducted alleged in the Commission's civil complaint against Ellis filed on May 17, 2000. In the Commission's civil fraud action, Ellis was enjoined from violations of the securities laws and subjected to an asset freeze. In its action, the Commission alleged that Ellis had fraudulently raised nearly $1 million from the offer and sale of promissory notes to investors. The Commission charged Ellis with violations of the anti-fraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

Discussion in 'Mac OS X Server, Xserve, and Networking' started by Woien, Feb 17, 2008.
What is the best FTP server sollution for Xserve/10.5 ?
And Why ?
There should already be an FTP server built in to the OS.
VSFTPD is likely the best. But OS X (standard and server) ships with it's own ftpd. I think how they are configured matters more than which server you use. Is this for a high volume public FTP server or for light duty on a small LAN?
Maxum Rumpus
The problem I had with the FTP server built-in to OSX Server is the need to create full-fledged OSX user identities for ftp access. I ran a server with over 450 ftp client identities, and didn't want to handle that size of user database.
Granted, that was back in the days of 10.3 and 10.4 server, so maybe it's a little easier in Leopard.
Using Rumpus, I was able to create the user list by scripting the export of a tab-delimited text file, output from a mysql database via php scripts. Used to impress my wife with that one.
Not quite sure if the 10-client license for OSXS would limit the number of active ftp accounts available either.

The video footage which entangles the judges and 180 judicial staff in the damning corruption scandal is expected to be aired on September 22.
Speaking at the Ghana Bar Association Conference in Kumasi in the Ashanti region Monday, Kufuor said the revelation has damaged the credibility of the justice system in the country.
"The movement from the bar to the bench should be revisited…the selection for elevation should be done so critically as to ensure that the chosen will bring honour both to the bench and the bar.
"Judges are expected to lead almost a hermitic lifestyle and being of the best conduct. In times past they were not even expected to socialize...the disgrace befallen our nation, our bench and our profession through the exposure should give all of us a very rude shock," President Kufuor said.
One of the high profile judges caught in the bribery scandal is Justice John Ajet-Nassam, a High Court Judge, who freed Alfred Agbesi Woyome in the controversial Gh¢51 million judgment debt scandal.
He was videotaped and audio recorded in separate conversations with suspects or persons acting as agents of suspects before him to compromise big cases.
Other judges are Human Rights Court judge Kofi Essel Mensah and Charles Quist; a High Court Judge.
The over two years painstaking investigations by Anas will be released in full in the coming weeks.
