the story is about this young dude called yorick who is the last surviving man after a plague wipes out all the other men in the world. he then travels the globe with his bodyguard, 355, and a scientist, dr. mann, hoping to find a cure for the plague and also be reunited with his girlfriend. the series is collected in ten books, which is how i read it.
there are some really clever and interesting ideas about gender in this story. for example, one problem the characters have to deal with is how to move between countries when there are no planes. why are there no planes? because most of the pilots were men so most of the planes fell out of the sky when the plague hit. the world without men setting provides a constant source of questions and notions about how men have shaped our world and what it would look like without them. at the same time, the writer, brian k vaughan, never seeks to answer these questions outright, it's more about giving the reader something to think about. it is never suggested that a world without men is somehow better than the world we have now, and in some ways there seems to be many of the same problems, but it's certainly no worse off.
the thing is, the story isn't really about that. mostly it's a love story, and it's not the love story you think it's going to be. i'll try not to spoil it, but i cried a lot at the end (and i was in public, so that's awkward). it's the characters that really make the story work. they're cool people to be around and i grew to love all of them. the story is so epic that they all feel like they've changed so much since first appearing. they have suffered tragedy after tragedy but they keep moving, and that's what it's all about. this isn't a story about the world ending. it's about what you do when you think the world ended. it's about how you carry on and build a new world. it's not about survival, it's about evolution, and that's something everyone should be able to relate to.
somehow you must find a copy of this comic-book series and read it immediately. it is that good.

Fourth Amendment: Unconstitutional Stops And The Attenuation Doctrine
Unconstitutional Stops And The Attenuation Doctrine
The United States Supreme Court
Utah v Strieff
No. 14-1373
Decided: June 20, 2016
Issue: Whether the attenuation doctrine applies when an officer makes an unconstitutional investigatory stop, learns during that stop that the suspect is subject to a valid arrest warrant, and proceeds to arrest the suspect and seize incriminating evidence during a search incident to that arrest?
Holding: The United States Supreme Court held that the evidence the officer seized as part of the search incident to arrest was admissible because the officer's discovery of the arrest warrant attenuated the connection between the unlawful stop and the evidence seized incident to arrest.
Facts: In this case, petitioner Strieff was arrested pursuant to information from a police dispatcher, who reported that Strieff had an outstanding warrant for a traffic violation. First, the court considered the presence of a valid arrest warrant to be an extraordinary intervening circumstance, App. to Pet. for Cert. 102, United States v. Simpson, 439 F. 3d 490, 496 (CA8 2006).
Second, the court stressed the absence of flagrant misconduct by Officer Fackrell, who was conducting a legitimate investigation of a suspected drug house. Strieff conditionally pleaded guilty to reduced charges of attempted possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, but reserved his right to appeal the trial courts denial of the suppression motion.
The Utah Court of Appeals affirmed. 2012 UT App 245, 286 P. 3d 317 and the Utah Supreme Court reversed. 2015 UT 2, 357 P. 3d 532, holding that the evidence was inadmissible because only a voluntary act of a defendant's free will (as in a confession or consent to search) sufficiently breaks the connection between an illegal search and the discovery of evidence. Id., at 536. Because Officer Fackrell's discovery of a valid arrest warrant did not fit this description, the court ordered the evidence suppressed.
The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari to resolve disagreement about how the attenuation doctrine applies where an unconstitutional detention leads to the discovery of a valid arrest warrant, 576 U.S. __(2015) and reversed.
Legal Analysis: The United States Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment protects the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. Because officers who violated the Fourth Amendment were traditionally considered trespassers, individuals subject to unconstitutional searches or seizures historically enforced their rights through tort suits or self-help, Davies, Recovering the Original Fourth Amendment, 98 Mich. L. Rev. 547, 625 (1999).
In the 20th century, however, the exclusionary rule that often requires trial courts to exclude unlawfully seized evidence in a criminal trial became the principal judicial remedy to deter Fourth Amendment violations. See, e.g., Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U. S. 643, 655 (1961).
The Exclusionary Rule often requires trial courts to exclude unlawfully seized evidence in a criminal trial and became the principal judicial remedy to deter Fourth Amendment violations, Mapp v Ohio 367 U.S. 643, 655. Under the Courts precedents, the exclusionary rule encompasses both the primary evidence obtained as a direct result of an illegal search or seizure and, relevant here, evidence later discovered and found to be derivative of an illegality, the so-called fruit of the poisonous tree. Segura v. United States, 468 U. S. 796, 804 (1984). The Court held that there are several exceptions to the rule. Three of these exceptions involve the casual relationship between the unconstitutional act and the discovery of evidence.
Exceptions to the Exclusionary Rule
First, the independent source doctrine allows trial courts to admit evidence obtained in an unlawful search if officers independently acquired it from a separate, independent source. See Murray v. United States, 487 U. S. 533, 537 (1988).
Second, the inevitable discovery doctrine allows for the admission of evidence that would have been discovered even without the unconstitutional source. See Nix v. Williams, 467 U. S. 431, 443 444 (1984).
Third, and at issue here, is the attenuation doctrine: which holds, evidence is admissible when the connection between unconstitutional police conduct and the evidence is remote or has been interrupted by some intervening circumstance, so that the interest protected by the constitutional guarantee that has been violated would not be served by suppression of the evidence obtained. Hudson, supra, at 593.
Attenuation Doctrine
Turning to the application of the attenuation doctrine to this case, the Court held that they must first address a threshold question: whether this doctrine applies at all to a case like this, where the intervening circumstance that the State relies on is the discovery of a valid, pre-existing, and untainted arrest warrant. The Utah Supreme Court declined to apply the attenuation doctrine because it read our precedents as applying the doctrine only to circumstances involving an independent act of a defendant's free will in confessing to a crime or consenting to a search. 357 P. 3d, at 544.
The attenuation doctrine evaluates the causal link between the government's unlawful act and the discovery of evidence, which often has nothing to do with a defendants actions. And the logic of this Court's prior attenuation cases is not limited to independent acts by the defendant. It remains for this Court to address whether the discovery of a valid arrest warrant was a sufficient intervening event to break the causal chain between the unlawful stop and the discovery of drug-related evidence on Strieff's person.
The three factors articulated in Brown v. Illinois, 422 U. S. 590 (1975), guide the Courts analysis.
First, the court looks to the temporal proximity between the unconstitutional conduct and the discovery of evidence to determine how closely the discovery of evidence followed the unconstitutional search. Id., at 603.
Second, it considers the presence of intervening circumstances. Id., at 603, 604. Third, and particularly significant, the Court held that they examine the purpose and flagrancy of the official misconduct. Id., at 604.
The Court held that the existence of a valid warrant favors finding that connection between unlawful conduct and the discovery of evidence is sufficiently attenuated to dissipate the taint. In this case, the warrant was valid, it predated Officer Fackrell's investigation and it was entirely unconnected with the stop. One Officer Fackrell discovered the warrant, he had an obligation to arrest Strieff. A warrant is a judicial mandate to an officer to conduct a search or make an arrest, and the officer has a sworn duty to carry out its provisions. United States v. Leon, 468 U. S. 897, 920, n. 21 (1984).
Officer Fackrell's arrest of Strieff thus was a ministerial act that was independently compelled by the pre-existing warrant. And once Officer Fackrell was authorized to arrest Strieff, it was undisputedly lawful to search him as incident to his arrest to protect Officer Fackrell's safety. The Court held that these errors in judgment hardly rise to a purposeful or flagrant violation of Strief's Fourth Amendment rights. While Officer Fackrell's decision to initiate the stop was mistaken, his conduct was therefore, lawful.
Officer Fackrell saw Strieff leave a suspected drug house. And his suspicion about the house was based on an anonymous tip and his personal observations. Applying these factors, we hold that the evidence discovered on Strieff's person was admissible because the unlawful stop was sufficiently attenuated by the preexisting arrest warrant. Although the illegal stop was close in time to Strieff's arrest, that consideration is outweighed by two factors supporting the State. The outstanding arrest warrant for Strieff's arrest is a critical intervening circumstance that is wholly independent of the illegal stop. The discovery of that warrant broke the causal chain between the unconstitutional stop and the discovery of evidence by compelling Officer Fackrell to arrest Strieff. And, it is especially significant that there is no evidence that Officer Fackrell's illegal stop reflected flagrantly unlawful police misconduct.
The United States Supreme Court held that the evidence Officer Fackrell seized as part of his search incident to arrest is admissible because his discovery of the arrest warrant attenuated the connection between the unlawful stop and the evidence seized from Strieff incident to arrest. The judgment of the Utah Supreme Court, accordingly, is reversed.

The Big Book of Jack the Ripper by Otto Penzler (Editor)
English | 2016 | Thriller & Suspense | 3 MB
Edgar Award winning editor Otto Penzler's latest anthology takes its inspiration from the historical enigma whose name has become synonymous with fear: Jack the Ripper.
Of the real-life serial killers whose gruesome acts have been splashed across headlines, none has reached the mythical status of Jack the Ripper. In the Ripper's wake, terror swept through the streets of London s East End in the fall of 1888. As quickly as his nightmarish reign came, Saucy Jack vanished without a trace leaving future generations to speculate upon his identity and whereabouts. He was diabolical in a way never seen before a killer who taunted the police, came up with his own legendary monikers, and, ultimately, got away with his heinous crimes.
More than a century later, the man from hell continues to live on in the imaginations of readers everywhere and in some of the most spectacularly unnerving stories, both fiction and nonfiction, ever written. The Big Book of Jack the Ripper immerses you in the utterly chilling world of Red Jack s London, where his unprecedented evil still lurks.
. Legendary stories by Marie Belloc Lowndes, Robert Bloch, and Ellery Queen
. Captivating essays from George Bernard Shaw, Stephen Hunter, and Peter Underwood
. Riveting new stories by contemporary masters Jeffrey Deaver, Loren D. Estleman, Lyndsay Faye, and many more
. Astonishing theories from the world s foremost Ripperologists
From the Ripper Vault:
. Demonic letters from Jack himself
. Gruesome postmortem exams documenting all the bits and pieces of the cases
. Harrowing witness statements taken on those hellish nights
. Breaking newspaper accounts of the East End hysteria"

In November, I made the regrettable mistake of trying out WalMart's Straight Talk Wireless A $30 plan for 1000 minutes sounded like a great deal. Unfortunately, this is most certainly a case of "you get what you pay for."
I started out by heading to WalMart and buying my phone (you can only use a phone purchased specifically through their service) and the phone service card. Then I set about activating it. My first issue was with the fact that the company does not tell you that it is a prepaid phone plan. Yes, they say "no contracts," (by which they mean no time commitments although you are still required to agree to a contract) but there are certain month to month plans through actual cell phone companies that don't have time commitments either.
Personally, I hate the idea of a pre-paid 30 day contract because that means if you forget to pay your bill by even one day, you lose service immediately. I had to subscribe to their auto-pay system to ensure I wouldn't lose service, which also meant that I risked forgetting the bill was coming and over drafting my bank account at the end of every month.
Then came the terrible customer service. When I registered, my T-Mobile phone number was supposed to transfer over to my new phone…but it didn't. Instead, my phone number stopped working, but I could still somehow make calls from my new Straight Talk phone. When I called the outsourced customer support, they used my phone number as the account number, which meant that they couldn't find my account. When they finally did look it up using a bunch of wonky work arounds, they finally got my phone to receive incoming calls, but the internet still didn't work on the device, which was supposed to be included in the plan. I ignored this problem because I didn't really need the internet, but I still find it odd that no one could help me to get the internet working, nor did they even care.
Later on, I couldn't access my account on their website because you can only log in with your phone number. I called support again (went through the complex work around to get them to find my account without the phone number) and found out the number was still somehow not in their system. Until the number was in their system, I couldn't get online with my account –even though I had originally signed up to the service online using that phone number!
Within a month, I found out that I still had a few months left on my T-Mobile contract and I wasn't particularly impressed with Straight Talk, so I opted to switch back. Enter nightmare ordeal #2. To keep my old number (which was fairly important since I just sent out a bunch of resumes with the number on it), I had to have Straight Talk release my number. Big problem.
Remember how they couldn't transfer my number at first? Yeah, it turns out they never actually fixed that. Somehow my phone number was sitting in limbo and although I made and received calls, they never actually activated the number. So in order to get my number back, they had to release it, but they couldn't find it in the system to do so.
The representative at the T-Mobile store spent an hour on the phone with them trying to get them to figure this out and fix the problem and eventually I was instructed to "call back next week and we should have it fixed." So I did, and the woman who answered the phone had no idea what I was talking about, even when I told her from the beginning, "I need to speak to your elevated level of customer service." Finally, after the eighth explanation, she says "ok, let me put you through to the elevated level of customer service." When I got through to someone who actually knew what they were talking about, they told me "call again next week." A week later, the phone number just transferred on its own.
After the whole experience, I decided to sell my Straight Talk phone because I had no intention of ever working with the company again. So I put it on Craigslist, thinking the people could just activate it and that will be the end of it. Unfortunately, Straight Talk won't activate it for someone else without all of my personal info, so the strangers I sold it to had to keep calling me back, asking for my old address, my mother's maiden name and my birthday. If I had known that selling my phone could have opened me up to identity theft, I would have just sent the phone to the recycler.
Every single step of the way my experience with Straight Talk was horrendous. I hope that sharing my story will at least dissuade a few people from trying their service, at least until they improve things dramatically.
On a 5 point scale, they get a.

very nice retro look... Joaquim
excellent composition
interesting arhitecture
очень живописная мельница
Interesting composition. The windmill looks almost like a set decoration for some fairy tale movie. Nice soft colours and light.
nice presentation; and i love HC Andersen; regards
Interesting composition my friend!!!! Excellent!!!
Great idea and composition, but maybe different filters/effects needed to make it truly impressive.
wasn't it also a title of a song?..
nice words and a so good image, from that pov, jose!
um bom domingo para ti.. bjsss!!!
Yes, my dear Sil, The Windmills of Your Mind is a song with words and music by Alan Bergman, Marylyn Bergman and Michel Legrand from the 1968 Film " The Thomas Crown Affair". Noel Harrisson performedthe song for the film score. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1968.
But the reason of my title is very prosaic: When i see these windmills, and there are a lot of them in Portugal, i always remember this song. An that's the reason!!!!
Thank you, Sil, for your kind comments. I'm glad you like my WINDMILL!
Excelente Doming para ti e... com muuuuuitos sssss
strange feeling with wind blowing, haaa? who knows what will come with the wind, .. maybe some great idea
So interesting, I have never seen a windmill like this one.
Have a great new week Jose
interesting architecture, well captured and nice eding!
Excellent tonality!

[Writing about an absent friend was this week's Totally Optional Prompt. See what others came up with here. ]
Missing Mr. Herrmann
You are in my consonants,
the ones at the beginnings and ends
of words making a difference
between a good chorus or great.
You are in the vowels I sing,
clear with no dipthongs,
making sure that the audience
can understand the lyrics.
You are in my eyes that watch
the conductor's baton,
ever alert to unexpected changes
in tempo.
You are in my fingers
as I turn pages as quietly
and unobtrusively as possible
just as you taught us.
You are in my confidence,
encouraged by your trust in me,
even though you have been
gone for twenty years.
You are on my mind in December
when I remember how we used
to sing carols at your house
because it was a way for us to say,
"Thank you."

Sorry for the lack of entries, I've been busy. I recently saw Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics DVD. I'm not going to do a full write up, I'll just be making a few observations. The photo you see above is of the actual DVD disc. On the disc there is an 8 Pointed Star. Here is a little info on the 8 pointed star's Occult origins.
"The 8-Pointed Star or Octagram corresoponds to the Wheel of the Year and the 8 Sabbats of Wiccan and Pagan traditions. It is representative of the cycle of time and the power of regeneration and return. 8 is also the number of harvest, allowing you to reap the seeds you have sown in the past and gain from your projects and learning."
That's very interesting considering her album is titled Back to Basics.
The 8 Pointed Star is also featured prominently in the film Eyes Wide Shut which I recently did a blog on.
There are a lot of little things I could go into with this show but I would like to post the performance and lyrics to "Welcome to the Circus".
Woah, ohh
Welcome to the greatest show
Greatest show on earth
You've never seen before
Here the fairytale unfold
What's behind the smoke and glass?
Painted faces, everybody wears a mask
Are you selling them your soul?
Will you'll be left out in the cold?
Is it all blue skies?
Fun and games until you fall
Then you're left without anyone at all
You're riding on a shooting star
With a smile upon your face
But soon the shine fades
And you're left out all alone
Wondering where did they all go?
Been jaded, hated,
Who'll be around when the limelight's faded?
Been shut down, pushed out
Made to smile when I wanted to frown
Always taking a bow
Always working the crowd
Always breaking new grounds
Always playing the clown
Who'll be sticking it out?
Who'll be staying around
When the lights go down?
(whistles to fade)
and her little Dog too...
always playing the clown, everyone wears a mask...
I will be returning to the "ritual" soon and getting deeper into the symbolism involved with it. An interesting fact is that Jamie King was the visual director for the VMA ritual performance. He's been directing Madonna's tours since 2001 and directed both Britney and Christina's tours that feature the Circus theme. The pictures of Madonna above are from Madonna's tour The Girlie Show. Both Britney and Christina's tours borrow key elements from that show and I believe that is for a reason, but like I said, more on that later.

On this day in 1903 the Canadian novelist and short story writer Morley Callaghan was born. Though prolific and successful in his home country, Callaghan was so overlooked even in his lifetime that Edmund Wilson thought him "the most unjustly neglected writer in the English language." Much of the international attention that Callaghan did receive was not for his twenty novels and story collections but for That Summer in Paris (1963), a memoir of his Lost Generation days among "a very small, backbiting, gossipy neighborhood" of Latin Quarter expatriates — Ford Madox Ford, Robert McAlmon, Joyce, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, etc. Callaghan's account of his boxing matches with Hemingway especially raised eyebrows: "For the first time one has the confidence that an eyewitness has been able to cut a bonafide trail through the charm, the mystery, and the curious perversity of Hemingway's personality" (Norman Mailer in "Punching Papa").
Callaghan and Hemingway had been friends since their newspaper days in Toronto, and both liked to box. Callaghan was considerably shorter and lighter but more experienced, and in an early sparring session he had "worked out a routine, darting in and out with fast lefts to the head," while Hemingway "waited for a chance to nail me solidly":
It must have been exasperating to him that my left was always beating him to the punch. His mouth began to bleed…. His tongue kept curling along his lip, wiping off blood…. Suddenly he spat at me; he spat a mouthful of blood; he spat in my face.
When Callaghan stepped back in shock, Hemingway explained, "That's what the bullfighters do when they're wounded…. It's a way of showing contempt." At a later session, F. Scott Fitzgerald was volunteered as timekeeper, charged with regulating one-minute rounds with two-minute rests between. Fitzgerald became so enthralled with the boxing that he forgot the clock — until the out-of-gas Hemingway made a desperate lunge at Callaghan and got knocked on his back by a hard cross to the jaw. When Fitzgerald cried out, "Oh, my God! I let the round go four minutes!" Hemingway spat his contempt in a new direction: "All right, Scott…if you want to see me getting the shit kicked out of me, just say so. Only don't say you made a mistake."

|Brief Summary
|Limb transplantation surgery is the transfer of one or more limbs from a deceased human donor to a patient with single or multiple limb amputation. Hand transplantation is an innovative reconstructive procedure that has the potential to significantly improve the lives of hand amputees. The purpose of this study is to develop the best practices for multiple limb transplantation that will improve the outcomes of future limb transplant recipients.
|Detailed Description
Limb transplantation surgery, the transfer of the limb(s) from a deceased human donor to a patient with amputation of one or more limbss, is an experimental reconstructive procedure that has the potential to significantly improve the lives of amputees.
Limb transplantation is similar to face transplantation in that the tissues transplanted include skin, tendons, muscles, ligaments, bones and blood vessels. The transplant team at Brigham and Women's Hospital includes a wide variety of medical and surgical specialties. The team hopes to build upon the success of their first face transplantation to provide amputee patients with the significant benefits of limb transplantation.
Toward this goal, BWH is actively seeking qualified candidates for the limb transplant research study. We will be studying a small group of people to learn more about:
We describe limb transplant surgery as a life-giving procedure because it has the potential to dramatically improve, that is to restore, both a patient's mental and physical health and his/her ability to function and integrate in society. However, as with any other type of organ transplantation, this improvement will require the patient to make a lifetime commitment to taking medications that suppress the body's immune system.
Conventional reconstruction methods are always considered first, but they may provide less than optimal results for certain patients. There are many sophisticated prostheses that satisfactorily replace the basic function of a missing limb. However, replacing limbs (in whole or in part) with prosthetics remains suboptimal in that prostheses do not provide sensation and do not have a natural appearance. Limbtransplant surgery, however, has the potential to deliver these desired functional and aesthetic benefits. Functionally, limb transplant surgery can provide a patient with new limbs that, after extensive rehabilitation, allow him/her to perform daily activities and, in most cases, return to work. Furthermore, the ability to restore a near-normal aesthetic appearance of the limb(s) can lead to tremendous psychological benefits, including elevated confidence and mood.
From the time we begin our search for a qualified limb transplant recipient to the continuing care we provide following surgery, a significant amount of time, expertise and attentiveness is contributed toward making the procedure a progressive success. Limb transplant candidates go through an extensive screening process that is likely to last several months. This screening includes a psychiatric and social support evaluation and a series of imaging tests to help determine a patient's physical and mental readiness for the procedure. If, upon completion of the screening process, it is determined that a patient is a suitable candidate, we will place the patient on a transplant waiting list. We will then begin working with the New England Organ Bank (NEOB) team to find a donor who matches the recipient's tissue requirements - for example similar age and correct blood type. This search could take many months, and, if a suitable donor is not found within one year, we will speak with the patient to determine whether he/she is willing to continue waiting.

I had one of my strangest days working on the Ben the other week guiding for Abacus Mountain Guides. We took a team of 36 people from Travelodge who, as well as raising money for charity, built a Travelodge room on the summit of the Ben! It actually turned out to be a great day, with the team doing a grand job constructing and deconstructing the room in a couple of hours.
I had another trip on the Ben for Seren Ventures leading a group on the mountain track. A
sterling performance, especially by 10 year old William!
I had a couple of days sports climbing back East with family in the sunshine at Bennybeg and Kirriehill which was very pleasant!
Last week I took Sue and Sarah to the top of the Ben as part of their 3 peaks in 3 days fundraiser. The two of them did really well despite some fairly gnarly weather!
I was out again the next day with a group from a Nordic walking club. The team had great technique with their poles, although the terrain didn't always make it easy to use them properly.
I was back out again the following day with a group of 3 peakers for Maximum Adventure.
A few days off followed and with some fine weather on the forecast it was time to hit the rock!
Andy and I headed to the Cairngorms and ticked off Magic Crack (HVS 5a) and Damnation (HVS 5b). The final pitches of both routes were fantastic, some of the most enjoyable climbing I've done for a while!
Tuesday, we headed on to Binnean Shaus. First up was the Keep (HVS 5a), which had great main pitch up the parallel cracks. With the heat and sun beginning to make an impression, we headed up Blaeberry Grooves (VS 4c) before calling it a day. The walk in and out wasn't too bad at all but bikes on the way out would be awesome!
Wednesday Davie and I headed for a wee adventure up Raven's Edge (VS 4c) on the Buachaille. The approach was interesting but we eventually found ourselves at the base of the route. With no belay apparent, and the first 60m looking pretty grassy, we soloed up to a good belay to just before the proper climbing starts. This was an great route, a really enjoyable mountaineering day out.
The end of the week saw me back on the Ben again, to start a 3 peaks in 3 days for Maximum Adventure
We had stunning sunshine and hot weather for all the 3 peaks, which was pretty hard going but the team did great!

Samsung did not reveal the Galaxy S8 last night, instead telling the day the phone is going to be unleashed upon the world. Officially unleashed anyway, since you can't stop the leaks. The latest one is a doozy, though, allegedly showing a hands-on with the upcoming phone.
Found by Sammobile, the videos don't show much, but it does appear to be the kind of phone described in past leaks. No home button, long body, a dual Edge display, and an aspect ratio that doesn't look too dissimilar from the LG G6. They also show off a new navigation drawer, and an always-on display. Not that anyone expected the always-on display to go anywhere.
Here are the clips in question, though expect them to be pulled fairly soon.
There's also a picture, courtesy of Slashleaks:

Of course it's healthy to be sceptical when these things appear online, since people do have a nasty habit of faking things for amusement or their own nefarious gain. Still it makes you wonder why Samsung is bothering to wait until March 28th to show us the phone, when we can apparently see it right now.

A Little Waffle History, Who Loves Waffles? [POLL]
Today is International Waffle Day! It seems that the waffle has been around since the middle ages! They've been around so long, because they are SO GOOD!
I like Pancakes, but I LOVE waffles!!
The history of the waffle goes way back! According to tidbitfun.com:
The waffles we know today were actually born in the Middle Ages. Waffles were cooked over a fire using two metal plates with wooden handles. The plates often had the familiar grid pattern we know today, but some waffles had fancier designs – a coat of arms, a landscape, etc. Waffles were so popular that they were even sold from street carts.
The word "waffle" is Dutch for "wafer". On a trip to France, Thomas Jefferson tried waffles and liked them so much he brought back a waffle iron! He started a fad of "waffle parties".
There are a ton of great waffle recipes too!

Paperless is NOT green
I'm getting pretty tired of listening to agents boast about being paperless thus calling themselves "green."
First of all- something is substituted for paper. Usually a device that is electronic – more than likely built from petroleum products and run (charged) with coal.
I have no problem with plastic and electronics- But I don't call myself "green."
Secondly- Paper comes from trees. New growth trees with flat leaves (not pine trees) gobble up carbon monoxide and expel oxygen. Tree farms are good for the environment and economy.
Green is a lifestyle. Green is also a word that is bandied about, often by those who don't live a lifestyle anything remotely close to green.
Disclaimer – I am far from paperless and don't call myself green. I recycle, compost, grow and raise most of my own food (shredded paper is great mulch) and have set aside 6 acres of my own property as a waterfowl habitat in conjunction with my county.

Enerpac has introduced accurate and highly portable manual torque multipliers to provide from 1015-10,845 Nm of force for tightening and loosening of nuts, bolts and stubborn or corroded fasteners requiring high torque.
The E series manual torque multipliers, with high efficiency planetary gear sets, are part of Enerpac's extensive range of professional bolting technologies, which is one of Australasia's comprehensive.
The new tools provide high torque outputs from low inputs, offering multiplying ratios of up 52:1 to, while giving accuracies of plus/minus 5% for precisely controlled make-up or break-out applications.
Incorporating anti-backlash devices for operator safety, the multipliers feature reaction bar styles for forces of up to 4340Nm and reaction plate styles for greater force requirements.
According to Enerpac, the E series manual torque multipliers provide efficient torque multiplication in wide-clearance applications and when external power sources are not available.
The E series manual torque multipliers complement other technologies in Enerpac's comprehensive professional bolting range, including high pressure (700bar) hydraulic square drive and hexagon cassette torque wrenches, which are better suited for tight tolerance, flange and repetitious bolting applications.
Weighing from 1.8 to 22.8 kg, E series manual torque multipliers are typically used on mining, construction, chemical and refinery sites, as well as locomotives, power plants, pulp and paper mills, shipyards, cranes, and off-road equipment.
Features include:
- Torque ratios of 3.3:1 to 52:1 to generate outstanding output from a portable manual tool
- Reversible operation to tighten or loosen nuts (Rusted and corroded nuts and bolts may require twice their original torque to break loose).
- Angle-of-turn protractor on E300 models (the mid-range models which offer from 1625-4340Nm)
- Replaceable shear drives to provide overload protection of internal power train on E300 and larger E400 models (replacement drive included)
- Reaction plate models offer increased versatility with reaction point locations.
The new torque multipliers are part of the extensive Enerpac family of professional bolting technologies and application expertise, backed by the global resources of the Actuant group, which has sales exceeding $A1000 million through operations in more than 30 countries.

MikeW in awe at the Orsay! One of the best art galleries in Paris!
A newly single friend of mine asked me the other week for ideas for a trip she could take by herself; the first one abroad since her break up. It got me thinking...where and what makes a good destination for first time solo travel. I know this topic has been covered umpteen times on travel forums and I am not here to reinvent the wheel, but I feel that there are certain things that can make your trip as brilliant as you might hope and without any of the fears you might think such a trip will bring.
Now, my friend has travelled solo before, but not for a few years...so, for her a few reminders and for any solo travel virgins here are my top tips for that first time:
1. Destination...
Choosing the right place to visit can make or break your trip. I probably, should say 'appropriate place to visit' as the key element of a successful solo trip is keeping myself occupied. Opting to visit rural Italy, although lovely, may leave you feeling rather lonely and a bit bored. I would say start off with a city.
(I am going to stick to Europe for this post - even though I have readers from all over the world, but the same principles apply wherever you are on Earth!)
Cities offer the solo traveller with a whole host of sights and different activities that will easily fill their time there. For example, Paris, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Rome and Berlin are cities filled with world class museums, art galleries, historical sights, superb parks, great food, a brilliant and varied nightlife as well as a really distinctive metropolis feel that you just cannot help but get swallowed up by. You will not be bored by these places!
On top of this, certain cities offer options for great day trips too. Paris, for example, could see you catching the RER train and head out to the magnificent Palace of Versailles, the chateaux of the Loire Valley or to Giverny, the home of impressionist painter Monet.
2. Stay in a hostel...
You might not like the thought of a hostel for your stay, but I feel the hostel offers the solo travel one of the best ways to meet fellow travellers and find yourself someone to share some of your first solo trip with. The hostel is a multicultural melting pot of different nationalities - though, you can ALWAYS guarantee at least an Aussie, a Yank and two Irish friends being there! Choose your hostel carefully (following the ratings is often your best bet on www.hostelbookers.com and www.hostelworld.com) and you could end up in somewhere pretty swish. When I travelled to Lisbon, I had a choice of top quality hostels to choose from and was thrilled with my decision to stay here... http://www.lisbonloungehostel.com/about_us.html. The beautiful communal 8 Euro meal, laid back nature of the place and fun activities the hostel laid on for its guests, both during the day and at night, made this a perfect place to stay for the solo traveller.
3. Take the free tour...
I have said it before - (The Glorious Free Tour) get on the free tour! I ALWAYS do the free tour...as a way to get my bearings and as a way to meet potential travel friends. You are likely to be trudging round with many people in a similar boat to you and human nature dictates you are going to be drawn to the people who find the tour guide's crazy fashion sense, poor jokes or frighteningly in depth knowledge of the Ottoman Invasion of the city you are visiting strangely amusing. The tour will also give you a chance to get to know a local who will be keen to show off their city at its best, so you can ask them about where is best to visit during the day and in the evening.
The Solo Traveller Toolkit:
- A good book for those down time moments or for when you are sitting in a cafe soaking in the atmosphere and hubbub of the city over a gloopy Continental coffee.
- An iPod/MP3 player. It is just nice to hear a familiar voice from time to time and what better than a favourite song or energising tune to get you marching to that next tourist attraction.
- A Moleskine notebook. Any notebook will do, but I like the Moleskine range as they are so luxuriously lovely! I write down things I have seen that I do not want to forget, my thoughts, doodles, ideas for future art projects and for things I would like to do in the future. Travelling to places away from home, is a privilege and I love being inspired by and learning from the places that I see often triggers ideas in my head for future experiences I want to enjoy.
Finally, be bold! It is your first trip alone...just get out there and enjoy it. There is no point wallowing in self pity or thinking 'I wish someone was here with me'. Make the most of your trip, stride out there with confidence and savour what your destination has to offer you. You won't regret it! Oh...and if all of this advice has done nothing to inspire and you need someone to join you...you know where I live!

Been trying to recreate the effect of printing using digital media.
Also borrowed Rene Gruau book and was SO inspired.
I love his illustrations, so bold and beautifully executed.
So I thought of making a poster for a story thats been in my head for 2 years now.
Its based on the Ancient Egyptian mythology of Isis and Osiris.
Here's what I've done so far....

There are numerous reasons that people take the time to completely restore 1969 ford mach mustangs for vehicle shows and personal enjoyment. Among the primary factors individuals invest a lot time, energy, and money restoring 1969 ford mach mustangs is the power that is included because particular mustang design. The engine upgrades that were available during the launch of the 1969 ford mach mustang for sale in Cresbard SD changed the mach mustang from the typical household automobile into a racing lovers dream.
Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the vehicle was introduced to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate presently in production. After it was seen on television and in print it was wanted by every blue blooded American. Everyone wanted to be the first to buy A mustang in Cresbard SD.Initial sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was gone beyond in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the design year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Buy Vintage Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but several modifications were made at the standard opening of the brand-new model year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough distinction to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has withstood with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Cresbard SD are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were needing to take on imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the first version however, due to the additional equipment required to satisfy new US emission and security regulations, was heavier than the first model. Efficiency was minimized and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Cresbard SD were readily available in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a 3rd time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was really big enough for four individuals. The trunk was bigger therefore was the engine bay. The body designs readily available included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang worked as an Indianapolis 500 speed automobile and Ford built 10,478 celebratory replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

When Riley McCoy plays in her pink, green and blue playroom, which is decorated in a fairytale theme with princes and frogs on the walls, she can be like any other 7-year-old girl. She likes singing and dancing on her stage while her biggest fan is watching – her younger sister Kate. Sometimes Riley's friends come over and the girls play American Idol or sing songs from High School Musical 2.
"I also like to make up my own songs," she said and added that she wants to be a "singer, teacher or babysitter" when she grows up.
In her playroom, where the windows are covered with a special film to block out ultraviolet rays, Riley is safe.
It has been almost 7 years since I met Riley for the first time. At that time, Riley's parents, Pam and Mike, had just discovered that something was wrong with their newborn baby. After a short walk in the stroller on a cloudy day, Riley's face broke out with liquid-filled blisters. A few months later and after much testing, Riley was diagnosed with Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), a rare genetic affliction that causes severe burns to her skin if exposed to sunlight. The Ladera girl is one of only about 150 people in the U.S. who suffer from the disease.
Even though the disease forces Riley to be indoors with the shutters closed while other kids play outside or splash in the pool during the daylight hours, it hasn't stopped her from going to school. But it is no easy task for Riley to get to Oso Grande Elementary in the morning. First, she has to make sure she covers up to protect her skin. In addition to a special sunscreen, she wears a pink hood with UV-safe clear plastic in front of her face, socks on her hands since they are faster to put on than gloves, and thick tights that have been washed with a special powder to make them UV safe.
Pam drives Riley to school in their car that is equipped with special tinted windows in addition to the mesh shades. Upon arrival, they park in the handicap parking lot and quickly walk to the safety of the building, where Riley's classroom also has UV-safe film on the windows.
Despite the unusual way of arriving each day, Riley says she loves going to school.
"I like everything — music, computer lab, library and science," she said, but adds that she is a little sad that she can't join her friends outside during recess. "It's not fair. I just want to play outside like the other kids. I just want to be normal."
But Riley doesn't have to be stay inside alone. In addition to her assistant, each day at least one or two of her class friends rotate to stay inside and play with her. "They are all very protective of her," Pam said. "It's very sweet."
As soon as the sun goes down – around 8 p.m. in the summer and 7 p.m. in the winter – Riley can finally head outside to play in the park. The family always has a UV light meter with them that measures the level of harmful UV rays. If Riley is exposed to sunlight, the rays can cause irreversible DNA damage that could lead to cancer.
"It is very hard to have a child with XP," Pam said. "It is very hard to see her so upset about not being able to do simple things we all take for granted. The hardest part is teaching her to accept her disease and make the best of it."
Pam said it was easier for Riley to live with XP when she was a baby and didn't know what she was missing.
"Now it's definitely harder because she is aware that she is different," Pam said. "She wants to be able to play outside with her friends, go to the pool during the day and not have to be covered with clothing constantly. She tells me that she feels like she is missing out a lot."
Despite the challenges, Pam added that dealing with the disease has helped the family to focus on what is important in life.
"We know there are worse things than XP, and we feel very lucky to have Riley in our lives," she said.

While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the development of a four-passenger cars they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, marketing and advertising team prepared the world for the intro of a car they called the Panther.
All through the summer of 1965 essentially every element of the car's design and advancement, from preliminary design sketches to clay designs, was photographed and thoroughly documented. Chevy used the assets to produce a 30 -minute motion picture The Camaro for sale in Cannon Afb NM , which was later on shown on TV and in cinema. They also introduced females's clothing called the Camaro Collection and even a Camaro road race online game.
Chevy Camaros For Sale
In November, Chevy sales executives and creative individuals previewed prototype models at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's venerable ad agency, instantly started deal with catalogs, direct mail and sales promotion products, along with print, outside and TV/radio marketing. In April 1966, at the New York Car Show Interview, Chevrolet sales executives admitted no name had been selected for the new vehicle, however did reveal that pricing of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Cannon Afb NM model will be in the Corvair-Chevy II range.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy struggled over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management fidgeted about the aggressive connotations of the Panther name. A comparable bout of cold feet would later trigger the Pontiac variation, code named the Banshee, to be renamed Firebird. Over its short lifetime, the F-car had been called by lots of names including Wildcat, Chaparral, Leader and Nova. It's likewise rumored that Chevy thought about utilizing the letters "GM" in the name, and created G-Mini, which progressed into GeMini and finally Gemini. However, GM's upper management vetoed the concept, fearing the car might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that somebody at Chevrolet finally proposed the name Camaro and upper management rapidly concurred. Although the name has no real meaning, GM scientists reportedly found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "pal" or "companion." It's reported that Ford Motor Business researchers also discovered other meanings, including "a shrimp-like animal" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Since a number or pre-launch products had already been released using the Panther name, Chevy's most pressing challenge was to now relabel their brand-new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Cannon Afb NM by looking for classic car dealers.
Lastly, on June 28, 1966, General Motors held a live interview in Detroit's Statler-Hilton Hotel. It was the very first time in history that 14 cities were connected in real time for an interview through telephone lines. Elliot M. "Pete" Estes, who replaced "Bunkie" Knudsen as Chevrolet General Manager in July 1965, started the news conference by stating all individuals were now club members of the Society for the Removal of Panthers from the Automotive World (SEPAW.) Estes confidently announced that Camaro was picked as the name for Chevy's brand-new four-passenger sports car to honor the custom of starting Chevy design names with the letter C such as the Corvette, Corvair, Chevelle, and Chevy II.

Advice for Caucus GoersWritten by Brock Lorber Subject: Voting and Elections
If you live in one of these states and plan to participate in selection of the Republican presidential nominee, congratulations:
Iowa, Nevada, Alaska, Colorado, Minnesota, North Dakota, Washington, Hawaii, Maine, Kansas, Nebraska, Maine, and Wyoming
You live in a caucus state. The media will report that you went to a caucus rather than a polling place and registered your vote for the candidate of your choice.
Indeed, there will be a straw poll ballot with the familiar candidates listed (and a bunch you've probably never heard of). Feel free to fill this ballot out and forget about it. This ballot means less than nothing.
You see, amid all the hand waving and "look over here" distractions about "does this caucus mean anything?" you're not supposed to pay attention to the real purpose of the caucus. The real purpose of a caucus is to nominate delegates to the next higher caucus.
Your breakout group (probably precinct) will vote amongst you for a number of delegates to represent your group at a convention (either county or state). This is the ballot you need to pay attention to.
When the straw poll ballot leaves your hand, you do not know whether it was counted in the number reported to the media or not. But, your vote for the delegates is marked, collected, and counted right in front of you!
Oh, did I mention that the delegates to the next higher convention are the people who vote for the delegates to the state convention? And, the delegates to the state convention are the people who vote for the delegates to the national convention?
It's great if your candidate gets the straw poll win and the corporate sponsorships that go with it, but within your state, it is absolutely meaningless unless you follow the entire process through to the state convention and beyond.
The only caucus ballot that has any significance whatsoever is the ballot for the delegates to the next higher caucus. Insist that the ballot is counted and reported within your breakout group, and follow the election of delegates to ensure the delegates elected from your group are the only representatives of your precinct admitted to the next higher caucus.

Girls and women are vital to progress in Nigeria
Lynne Featherstone launches a new programme to improve the prospects of girls and women in Nigeria
High rates of maternal mortality and violence against women make Nigeria one of the toughest places in the world to be born a girl, Lynne Featherstone said in Abuja today.
The International Development minister made the comments after announcing a new £39 million UK programme which will work with over 120,000 girls as well as local and religious leaders to shift attitudes towards women in the country.
Despite Nigeria's rapid economic growth, life for women in the country remains tough. The country has 10% of the world's maternal mortality deaths and over 80% of women in north Nigeria cannot read. A survey of 15-24 year old women found that the majority think it is reasonable for husbands to beat their wives if they burn food, refuse sex or go out without his permission.
Lynne Featherstone said:
Shocking rates of inequality, maternal mortality and violence against women make Nigeria one of the toughest places in the world to be born a girl. Women and girls are being shut out from the country's impressive economic growth.
What is good for girls and women is good for society as a whole. The government of Nigeria is making good progress on improving the opportunities for women in the country, yet the scale of the challenge remains huge.
That is why the UK will help women and girls across the country to come together and find a united voice, improving access to health, education and jobs.
The 5 year Voices for Change programme will:
support 120,000 girls across the country to improve their life skills – financial literacy, health education, negotiation skills and awareness of their rights
work with men and boys as well as traditional and religious leaders to shift attitudes and behaviours towards women
strengthen legal frameworks and increase national budget resources for women and girls
This is in addition to the UK's existing work with women and girls in Nigeria, which includes:
helping 4.1 million more women get access to finance through the Enhancing Financial Innovation and Access programme
getting 600,000 more girls through secondary school
improving care for 600,000 mothers through family planning, antenatal care and skilled birth attendance
A quarter of sub-Saharan Africa's poor live in Nigeria, which is home to 102 million people living in poverty and one of the highest rates of child malnutrition in the world.
While in Abuja, Lynne Featherstone also announced a major Child Development Grant Programme. This will support 60,000 mothers to improve the nutrition of young children to prevent stunting in Jigawa and Zamfara states. Final details of these programmes are being agreed with the Nigerian National Planning Commission.

The winners of the 84th Academy Awards are in! While I myself was hoping for some unexpected winners, most of the results were as predicted. We will give the list below, with some comments. Although Hugo and The Artist both won 5 oscars, The Artist is definitely the big winner here, securing the more 'important' oscars. Now, without further ado, here they are!
Best Picture: The Artist
== Definitely a worthy victor, and no surprises there. It's been decades since a silent movie won this most prestigious award.
Best Actor: Jean Dujardin, The Artist
== To bring a silent movie in a convincing manner, requires skill.
Best Actress: Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady
== Ahh Meryl. One of the greatest of all time. This was her seventeenth(!) nomination and third win. Look at her fantastic, funny and emotional reaction: Meryls reaction
Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer, Beginners
== The oldest winner ever, but so very much deserved, and to be honest, not only for this movie
Best Supporting Actress: Octavia Spencer, The Help
== Very emotional acceptance speech. That's what the oscars are all about.
Best Director: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist
== This one was between Michel Hazanavicius and Scorsese, both directing a movie about the beginning of the film medium. But, it wasn't Scorseses best...
Best Original Screenplay: Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris
== For a man far in his seventies, still writes amazing screenplay. Very much deserved award.
Best Adapted Screenplay: Alexander Payne, Nat Faxton, Jim Rash, The Descendants
== It's very hard to rewrite a story into something new, without seriously harming the original. This is what they achieved.
Best Animated Feature: Rango
== Very original animated movie, gracefully perfected by Depp.
Best Foreign Language Film of the Year: A Separation (Iran)
== The obvious winner. I haven't seen it yet, but will soon enough.
Best Original Score: The Artist, Ludovic Bource
== Music is very important in every movie, but maybe even more so in a silent movie. Brought in a superb fashion by Bource and the Brussels Philharmonic
Best Original Song: Man or Muppet, The Muppets; Music and Lyric by Bret McKenzie
Best Achievement in Art Direction: Hugo
Best Achievement in Cinematography: Hugo
== Amazing how one feels like one is actually in Paris, living the story. These two awards are a well earned tribute to those who made that happen.
Best Achievement in Costume Design: The Artist
Best Documentary Feature: Undefeated
Best Documentary Short Subject: Saving Face
Best Achievement in Film Editing: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
== Many a movie fanatic (myself included) don't really know what an editor exactly does. All I know is he or she makes the 'raw' movie look the way he looks at the end. Since The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is an amazing movie, i'd say: job well done!
Best Achievement in Makeup: The Iron Lady
== A bit surprising to me. Best explained through this picture:
Best Animated Short Film: The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
Best Live Action Short Film: The Shore
Best Achievement in Sound Editing: Hugo
Best Achievement in Sound Mixing: Hugo
== Once more, music can make or break a movie. Well deserved.
Best Achievement in Visual Effects: Hugo
== A bit surprising. Harry Potter was the real winner here in my opinion. That movie is just one big visual effect.
And that's it! It was an amazing show. Comments or reactions are most welcome.

Nice summary!ReplyDelete
lol@best makeup oscar :)
My vote would go to harry potter for the makeup and visual effects
Artist is the big winner. Hugo didn't live up to the expectations, won five minor oscars and none major.
The oscar for best makeup was a surprise. With regard to the other awards, no big suprises there.
By the way, Goines predcited 3 oscards correctly, MovieTree 8, I just had to mention it

Initially, Blur were one of the multitude of British bands that appeared in the wake of the Stone Roses, mining the same swirling, pseudo-psychedelic guitar pop, only with louder guitars. Following an image makeover in the mid-'90s, the group emerged as the most popular band in the U.K., establishing itself as heir to the English guitar pop tradition of the Kinks, the Small Faces, the Who, the Jam, Madness, and the Smiths. In the process, the group broke down the doors for a new... Read more

bookmarks - simple to exotic
Bookmarks make great gifts - and if you have soldering materials, great! If not - that's great too! Check this out: use those metal rimmed tags to create unique embellishments and simply wire them onto a shepherd's hook bookmark. Add some beads if you like! The butterfly image (Hero Arts) was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock scrap in black waterproof ink. I smeared a layer of Glossy Accents onto a small, clear, flat-backed marble and mashed it down onto the stamped butterfly. Allow to dry (Glossy Accents dries FAST - like seconds) then cut around the glass marble. Next I used copper tape and taped around the marble, sealing the cardstock backing. I added more tape on the back of the marble, so when I added solder the whole back looks nice and shiny! I added a jumpring when I added the solder. For the monogram L: This piece is what started all of this bookmark business. My husband's co-worker fell and broke her leg, and he asked if I would make her something and send it to her. So I figured a box of thank you notes and a bookmark - her name begins with L, so I stamped an uppercase L (Papertrey Ink - Trajan Alphabet) on a piece of 1" square white cardstock scrap in black waterproof ink, and sandwiched it between two 1" square pieces of glass. Taped edges and soldered, adding a jumpring. Now, if you are asking, "Hey Cindy! I don't solder but like the general idea!" Well, I came up with an idea for using one of the million metal rimmed tags I have (OK it is really not a million, it just looks like a million tags to anyone of the male species that sees them and does not stamp - lol). I love this tiny cupcake image (Lockhart Stamp Company) but wanted it to have a three-dimensional cherry - so sandwiching it between glass was not an option. Stamped cupcake image onto white cardstock scrap, and punched out using a circle punch so it would fit neatly inside the metal rimmed tag. Adhere inside metal rimmed tag and punch attachment hole. Colored in using Copic markers, then used the Copic markers to color a pearl embellishment. Note how I used my fave B31 pale lavender to make the whole stamped image pop. I glued the tiny colored pearl over the stamped cherry using Glossy Accents. I didn't want to rely on the adhesive backing of the pearl knowing this bookmark was going to get knocked around and probably knocked off. So, by using Glossy Accents, it would take a 5yr old a few seconds to peel it off. lol... Thank you for stopping by!

(Photo courtesy of Yahoo! News)
A photo appearing on the homepage of Yahoo! today shows medical transportation workers from Beaumont Health System assisting in the evacuation of patients from New York's Bellevue Hospital. According to the article, "About 500 patients at the city hospital near the East River in Manhattan are affected. Bellevue has one of the busiest emergency departments in the city."
(Notice one of the workers with the Detroit Tigers baseball cap showing some Detroit love.)
Update: We were lucky enough to get some additional photos from some of our transport workers live on the scene. You'll see some photos of the destruction of the storm as well as the lines of ambulances there to assist.

Search engine optimization or SEO is still important today as it has always been and it's still one of the most important ways of bringing visitors to your website. Search engine optimization involves everything from the layout of your website, to the fonts used, to the content and articles incorporated, not forgetting those so important images. All of this needs to be organized around the idea that you want to attract your target audience to your website.
Let's look at some basic search engine optimization techniques you should consider adopting.
Focus on your Target Audience
Every single aspect of your website from the colors used, to the images, to the words and titles needs to be focussed to meet the needs of your target audience, this comes above every single thing you might do. Be it any type of SEO or SEO strategy, anything that ignores your target audience, should not be adopted and carried out.
Design User Friendly Navigation
Making it easy for your users to get around your website is as important as any other aspect of your website, because if your users cannot find the information they want easily, they'll simply leave and go elsewhere. You therefore need to consider your target audience, their age, technical ability and other demographics and then work out a navigational structure that best suits this group of people.
Details, Details and Did I Say Details
Most website visitors don't enter your website via that nicely designed homepage, they enter via the others pages, these then should also be considered as entry point. Now look at each of these pages and look at it from your audience's perspective. What do they see on each page? In terms of search engine optimization the money is always in the details … this means that descriptions should be on every page, content for each page should be focussed on specific keywords, navigation should be easily understood and every page needs to have a call to action.
Continuously Add New Content
Every website needs keyword rich, user centric content to be added on a continuous basis, this is why I tell every business owner I meet that they need to have a blog. This needs to be updated with new content, three to five times a week (or more) to encourage search engines to index your website often, as an added bonus it also encourage your audience to revisit your website because of the new fresh content they will find there.
Create Sitemaps
A sitemap helps search engines index your website, so make sure you include an XML sitemap as that will help the search engine know what pages are most important in your website and with today's technology this can be created and updated automatically thus helping the search engines continuously index your website.
Earn Relevant Incoming Links
The easiest way to generate lots and lots of links to your website is to write lots and lots of quality content that interests your audience. Others will then naturally link to this content and the number of linking websites will increase.
Generate at least 50 to 100 keyword phrases for your niche, then have each page on your website focus on one of these keywords. Use keywords within the content, on the anchor text, and in descriptions for your website. Don't ruin your content to include keywords within it, but include them so that they appear natural and used only as required to make your point. By doing so, you cannot be accused of keyword stuffing and your website will gain good natural SEO.
Educate Yourself About SEO
Search engine optimization is continuously changing and with Google saying that it is constantly updating it algorithms this isn't likely to change anytime soon. This means that it's important to keep up-to-date with the latest techniques even if you don't use them as I rarely do, as I like to keep things natural looking… Google and Bing Webmaster tools are great places to start.
Remember that SEO is a long term strategy that starts before your website is designed and it's an industry that is ever changing. Don't be frustrated by the fact that you don't experience instant success. As you learn to focus most of your efforts on your target audience, providing the most tools, and solving the most problems for that target audience, SEO will become practically second nature and things seem to take care of themselves without any real effort.

We had a call from someone who had become frustrated with trying to change the Primavera P6 Gantt chart gridlines for printout. If you didn't know, the Gridlines toggle in the print page setup dialog only controls the gridlines of the activity table; and not the Gantt chart. The good news is that Primavera P6 does allow you to change the gridlines of the Gantt chart. Primavera P6 calls these 'sight lines', and you will have to look elsewhere to find these options; they are not located in the print options.
If you've ever had to scale down a large schedule to fit it on an 11×17 sheet of paper or smaller, then you may have wanted to adjust the gridlines on the Gantt chart. Too many gridlines may make your Gantt chart unreadable. But where do you find the gridlines options in Primavera? The gridlines toggle in the print page setup only sets the gridlines options for the activity table. And this feature is limited at best. In the Bar Chart Options Primavera has numerous gridline options for including suitable sight lines on the Gant chart for printout.
This article explores the many sight line features in Primavera P6 for making the Gantt chart easy to read.
As we have already established, the Gantt chart gridlines features are not located in the print page setup dialog. The gridlines or sight lines, as Primavera calls them, are associated with the Bars dialog, and may be activated several different ways. One way is to select the View | Bars from the main drop down menu. In the Bars dialog select Options, and then the Sight Lines tab. You also could get here by right clicking anywhere on the Gantt chart, and then selecting Bar Chart Options from the menu options that appear. And, again select the Sight Lines tab.
Figure 1 displays a schedule with no sight lines.
Figure 1
Note the timescale is currently set to Month/Quarter. Let's change the timescale so we can better see the schedule on a weekly basis. Right click on the Gantt chart and select Timescale from the resulting dialog, Figure 2.
Figure 2
In the Timescale dialog change the Timescale to Week/Day1, Figure 3.
Figure 3
The Gantt chart should now look similar to Figure 4.
Figure 4
Now to add or adjust the sight lines, right click on the Gantt chart and select Bar Chart Options, Figure 5.
Figure 5
In the Bar Chart Options dialog select the Sight Lines tab, Figure 6.
Figure 6
Set the Horizontal Lines to toggle off the major sight lines, but toggle on minor sight lines every 5 rows. As you can see in Figure 6, we have several options for displaying vertical sight lines. For our schedule we want to display major vertical lines every Month, Figure 6.
You can choose to skip a month by changing the corresponding vertical line setting from one to two. We, however, want to display the major vertical lines every month without skipping months. Set the minor vertical lines to display a minor grid line every week, Figure 7.
Figure 7
The resulting Gantt chart with corresponding sight lines will look similar to Figure 8.
Figure 8
As displayed in Figure 8, minor sight lines are displayed every week and major sight lines every month.
Now suppose we wanted to display the schedule using quarters, and the corresponding sight lines. First, let's change the timescale by right clicking on the Gantt chart and selecting Timescale from the resulting dialog. Change the Date Format to Year/Quarter, Figure 9.
Figure 9
Now in the Bar Chart Options and Sight Lines tab set the major vertical lines to display every quarter and the minor vertical lines to display every month, Figure 10.
Figure 10
The resulting Gantt chart will look similar to Figure 11.
Figure 11
Once you know where to look for adjusting the Gantt chart gridlines or sight lines you will see that Primavera P6 has numerous options for displaying both horizontal and vertical sight lines. You can adjust the sight line increment and associated timespan as appropriate for your schedule print scale and paper size. Sight Lines are one of numerous features in Primavera P6 for displaying and printing the Gantt chart.
