A Shade for Baby Jane
Kirsten Krason from 6th Street Design School and I have been working together for almost two years now. She is a very talented interior designer. She had me make a shade for her baby's nursery. Congratulations of the newest member of the family, Kirsten!
I love everything about the nursery. There was no detail overlooked. It is very whimsical and that is perfect for a little girl. I love it all! But my favorite part of the room is the light fixture. The detail in this room is just perfect!
This is a relaxed roman shade lined in blackout. The fabric isThe Singing Tree in Aqua from Fabricut.

Best Kids Parties: County Fair
All the fun of the county fair with easier parking and cleaner bathrooms! Gina shares these great ideas: We were looking for a gender-neutral, all-ages theme for our kids' joint birthday party, and a county fair seemed perfect. Who doesn't love games, prizes and food on a stick?!
We knew the kids would enjoy it, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much the adults got in on the action, competing in the sack race, ring toss and even a pie-eating contest. We tried to keep the food slightly more balanced than your average county fair. We offered corn dogs, fruit skewers, caprese salad skewers, cake pops, popcorn, cotton candy and veggies.
Thanks Gina! Readers, see more of this terrifically fun party on The Daily B.

We love a good party! If you'd like to share the good ideas and photos from your child's celebration with the Ohdeedoh community please submit through the "My Party" submission form.

There is plenty of clear, clean water at our base camp.
We hope to see you there!

The Committee to Protect Journalists is deeply concerned about the health of editor Amara al-Khatabi and calls on Libyan authorities to allow him to travel in order to receive urgent medical assistance abroad.
Al-Khatabi, the editor of daily Al-Ummah, was imprisoned December 19, 2012, under the Qaddafi-era penal code, on charges of insulting and defaming members of the judiciary. The charges related to a story published in Al-Ummah in November 2012 accusing 87 judges and others in the judiciary of accepting bribes and of being loyal to the late Muammar Qaddafi. He was the first journalist to be tried for such criminal charges since Qaddafi was ousted, Human Rights Watch said.
Al-Khatabi was released on bail on April 14 by Tripoli's Court of Appeals, according to news reports. His lawyer, Ramdan Farag, told CPJ that his passport was confiscated and he is banned from traveling, but he has severe health problems and needs immediate medical care not available in Libya. Al-Khatabi, 67, is suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, and lung problems, and is barely able to speak, Farag said.
"We are extremely worried about the health of Amara al-Khatabi and urge the judicial authorities in Libya to allow him to travel for medical treatment as soon as possible," said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Coordinator Sherif Mansour. "We further call on the judiciary to drop the charges against the journalist, which were filed under the archaic laws of Libya's autocratic past."
Al-Khatabi, 67, waged a hunger strike to protest his detention conditions and lack of access to his family and lawyer, exacerbating his health problems. Al-Khatabi attended his trial, which began April 1, in a wheelchair, and has been hospitalized since before his release, according to Human Rights Watch.
Just prior to presiding Judge Ali Al-Zwid granting bail, both the Libyan minister of judiciary affairs and the minister of cultural affairs called on the judge to release al-Khatabi. "The arrest of writers and journalists should not be present in the new Libya and I hope al-Khatabi will be released soon," said Cultural Affairs Minister Habib Mohamed, according to news reports.

In the On-Demand Sandbox, you can start VMs from snapshots existing on the production storage array. You can use the On-Demand Sandbox to test VMs, troubleshoot issues, perform training and so on.
Veeam Backup & Replication offers the On-Demand Sandbox functionality for the following storage systems:
- Dell EMC VNX(e)
- HPE 3PAR StoreServ, including secondary HPE 3PAR volumes — HPE 3PAR Peer Persistence
- HPE StoreVirtual P4000 series and HPE StoreVirtual VSA (Virtual Storage Appliance)
- IBM Spectrum Virtualize, including secondary IBM volumes — IBM Spectrum Virtualize HyperSwap
- NetApp, including secondary NetApp arrays — NetApp SnapMirror and NetApp SnapVault
- Nimble storage, including secondary Nimble arrays — Nimble Snapshot Replicated Copy
Configuration of the On-Demand Sandbox in which VMs from storage snapshots are started is similar to configuration of the regular On-Demand Sandbox. To start a VM from the storage snapshot in the isolated environment, you must configure the following objects:
- Virtual lab. The virtual lab must mirror the networking scheme of the production environment. You can configure a new virtual lab or use an existing virtual lab. Any type of the virtual lab configuration is supported: basic single-host, advanced single-host or advanced multi-host. For more information, see Virtual Lab.
- Application group. The application group must contain one or several VMs that you want to start in the On-Demand Sandbox. You can select VMs from volumes or LUNs on the storage system. During the SureBackup job, Veeam Backup & Replication will detect the latest snapshot for this volume or LUN and start the VM from this snapshot. For more information, see Application Group.
- SureBackup job. You must link the application group with VMs and virtual lab to the SureBackup job. For more information, see SureBackup Job.
How On-Demand Sandbox for Storage Snapshots Works
To start a VM from the storage snapshot in the On-Demand Sandbox, Veeam Backup & Replication needs to present this storage snapshot to an ESX(i) host as a datastore. To do this, Veeam Backup & Replication performs the following actions:
- Veeam Backup & Replication detects the latest storage snapshot for the VM whose disks are located on the storage system.
- Veeam Backup & Replication triggers the storage system to create a copy of the storage snapshot. The snapshot copy helps protect the storage snapshot from changes.
To create a snapshot copy, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the same technology as for Veeam Explorer from Storage Snapshots. The technology choice depends on licenses installed on the storage system. For more information, see Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots.
- The snapshot copy is presented as a new datastore to the ESX(i) host on which the virtual lab is registered.
- Veeam Backup & Replication performs regular operations required for On-Demand Sandbox: reconfigures the VMX file, starts the VM, performs necessary tests for it and so on.
- After you finish working with VMs and power off the On-Demand Sandbox, Veeam Backup & Replication performs cleanup operations: powers off the VM and the proxy appliance in the virtual lab, unmounts the datastore from the ESX(i) host and triggers the storage system to remove the snapshot copy.
Number of Mounted NFS Datastores
You can add to the application group several VMs that reside on different storage snapshots. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will trigger several snapshot copies (one per each storage snapshot) and present the equal number of datastores to the ESX(i) host.
The number of NFS datastores that can be mounted to the ESX(i) host is limited by VMware vSphere. If number of snapshot copies is great, Veeam Backup & Replication may fail to present all of them as datastores to the ESX(i) host. In this case, VMs in the application group will not be started and the SureBackup job will fail. For more information about limitations, see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2239.
To overcome this situation, Veeam Backup & Replication offers the mechanism of the snapshot copy re-mounting:
- If Veeam Backup & Replication detects that there are not enough resources to mount a datastore, it displays a warning and offers you to free up resources on the ESX(i) host.
- During the next 20 minutes, Veeam Backup & Replication attempts to mount the datastore with the time interval of 2 minutes.
- If resources are freed and Veeam Backup & Replication manages to mount the datastore, VMs in the application group are started and the SureBackup job continues to run. If resources on the ESX(i) hosts are not freed within 20 minutes, the SureBackup job fails.
Limitations for On-Demand Sandbox for Storage Snapshots
On-Demand Sandbox for storage snapshots has the following limitation:
- You cannot add to the On-Demand Sandbox a VM whose disks are hosted on a VMware datastore that comprises several LUNs.
- If a VM has several disks that are located on different VMware vSphere datastores, Veeam Backup & Replication will register a temporary VM only with those disks that are located on the storage snapshot from which you added the VM. Other VM disks will be excluded from the VMX configuration file of the temporary VM.

In the early '20s a Vaudeville guitar player named George Beauchamp paid a visit to a stringed instrument shop. His complaint: no matter how loud he played, his guitar just couldn't compete with the rest of the instruments in the orchestra.
So, the owner of that shop, John Dopyera, developed the idea of fitting a guitar body with aluminum cones. Discs of fine-spun aluminum that vibrate to amplify sound. Make the body out of metal, and you've got a National guitar.
Hawaiian guitarists picked them up initially, but it was the blues that took it to the next level.
Tampa Red was the first African-American player to record with a National. He developed a clean bottleneck style on his gold-plated style 4 Tricone. With three resonator cones in this model, he hits us with a lot of single-string sweet sustain.
Bo Carter, Blind Boy Fuller, many of the most iconic bluesmen played a National guitar. Then there were folk who'd treat it a little rougher. Like Bukka White, for instance.
Bukka liked the metal body cause it was loud, but mostly cause it was tough. Any old wood guitar would have broken. He'd say, "This one can take rain and punishment." "I don't play 'em. I stomp 'em."
Here he is in 1937 stomping on the song that got him out of Parchman Farm Prison—evidently the Governor of Mississippi was a fan. On his National Guitar—Bukka White with Shake 'Em On Down.
John Dopyera was born in Slovakia in 1893, to Jozef Dopyera, a miller who played and built his own violins. John built his first fiddle as a child, and Jozef moved his family to California in 1908. In the 1920′s, John opened his first store in Los Angeles, where he constructed and repaired wooden string instruments. He worked on patenting improvements on the banjo, when George Beauchamp approached him about developing a louder guitar. John and his brothers thereby founded the National String Instrument Corporation to manufacture the resophonic guitar. After several years, and as a result of legal battles with Beauchamp, the brothers left National and founded Dobro, famed wooden body resonators. The name itself is a play on words: Do for Dopyera, and Bro for brothers. Dobro itself means good in Slovak–resulting in the slogan "Dobro means good in any language!"

CAMARGO IS THE LEADER IN 505(b)(2) DRUG DEVELOPMENT
As the global 505(b)(2) experts, Camargo specializes in developing and delivering a faster, lower cost, and lower risk program.
As the global 505(b)(2) experts, Camargo specializes in developing and delivering a faster, lower cost, and lower risk program.
Camargo has a disciplined approach to evaluating the scientific, medical, regulatory and commercial aspects of your product development opportunities to make correct go/no-go decisions throughout your project.
With our integrated approach, the team at Camargo manages every facet of your program, from formulation and testing of the drug product to conducting nonclinical and clinical studies, to final FDA submission.
After more than a decade, Camargo Pharmaceutical Services has established something unrivaled in terms of 505(b)(2) investigational new drug (IND) and new drug application (NDA) preparation and submission.
If you're looking to reposition an existing product or expand your portfolio with a differentiated product, the 505(b)(2) approval pathway is your best way forward, and Camargo is your ideal partner. As the leader in 505(b)(2), we're your go-to for identifying commercially viable products and executing faster, more cost-effective development from concept to commercialization.
We have the largest percentage of 505(b)(2) submissions.
We have guided more than 200 FDA NDA and ANDA approvals.
We routinely hold three to six pre-IND meetings a month.
We work across more than 25 countries worldwide.
Learn more about what it's like to work with the team at Camargo.
We're impressed by the quality and thoroughness of the submission package … we want to engage you on another product, not just the Pre-IND but all the way through NDA.
The text from the gap analysis has a fair and balanced perspective and provides substantial insights we have not yet considered for our drug development strategy.
We have been extremely impressed with the level of high-quality input, guidance and work products we have received from all of the consultant team at Camargo. Camargo has not only demonstrated a superb first-hand knowledge of the most current FDA guidance documents and regulations, but also a willingness to explore and weigh-out regulatory strategies and options as shaped from their own experience with FDA. I would highly recommend Camargo to anybody in the 505(b)(2) space and look forward to working with Camargo on a wide-range of regulatory projects.
Assisting us in our discussions with the FDA is Camargo, as our FDA liaison and regulatory strategic partner. Cingulate is increasing the prospect for success via the accelerated 505(b)(2) pathway and Camargo has an outstanding track record of directing products through the FDA approval process. Camargo has guided 200+ FDA drug approvals and are at work with us to ensure regulatory alignment every step of the way from concept to commercialization which we will believe will increase the likelihood of FDA approval and future market success.
It is important to think end-to-end, especially in a 505(b)(2) program. If you don't plan it all out, you can build a bridge to nowhere. If you haven't thought the regulatory plan and reimbursement plan out, you won't be able to convince investors to invest in your program. That is what differentiates Camargo from other regulatory consultants in the industry. They really take an approach that is an extension of your team. They take the end-to-end approach which is let's map out where you want to go and what your overall vision is as a company…. I can't speak highly enough of Camargo's approach. This team-based aspect of being a partner all the way to the end is something that is really important to a 505(b)(2) program, especially if you intend to leverage that platform to other products.
Here are a few of the conferences and events the Camargo team will be attending and participating in this year. Hope to see you there.
Read the latest insights and information from our 505(b)(2) blog.
It has recently been reported that drugmakers have argued against broad orphan exclusivity for Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s Bendeka® product. This was in response to the FDA's invitation to applicants of certain products containing bendamustine to share how broad of a scope they believe Eagle's seven-year orphan drug exclusivity for Bendeka should be, and if it […]
A lot of our focus in previous blogs has been on how to best negotiate regulatory hurdles to get your product approved as quickly and cheaply as possible, and how to differentiate your product from the marketed products. And as we have previously blogged, to get a successful return on investment (ROI) for your product, […]
"Breakthrough" the Barriers: Breakthrough Therapy Designation Will Speed Up the Development and Review Time for Your 505(b)(2) Product Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) is the most recent addition to the suite of expedited programs offered by the FDA. In comparison to Fast Track Designation (discussed in a prior blog), the qualifying criteria for BTD are more […]

To expedite products where there is the greatest clinical need, the FDA offers 4 expedited programs to get beneficial therapies to patients faster: Priority Review, Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and Fast Track Designation. In […]
For centuries, botanical remedies have been used in many cultures to treat various diseases. In recent years, pharmaceutical companies have turned to botanical drugs for alternative medicines to treat diseases with unmet medical needs. The FDA also recognizes the interest in developing botanical products and released a draft guidance in 2004, finalized in 2016 as […]
This week the FDA released a new draft Guidance for Industry entitled "Post-approval Changes to Drug Substances" as part of the FDA's commitment to the reauthorization of the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA II).

dj Grazzhoppa's dj Bigband vs. Aka Moon
DJ Grazzhoppa's DJ Bigband is made up of 12 DJs. It is the first bigband to raise the art of hiphop/scratch, or turntablism, to this level of cohesion together with Aka Moon as guests musicians. How do you bring together 12 DJs, fans of the mixer, to play as a band? The DJs take their place in different sections, and alternate from wind to percussion to strings to voice. Each DJ searches for samples appropriate to his section. Fabrizio Cassol is responsible for the musical structure, he watches out to make sure that the avalanche of samples and scratches become uniform and come together in a harmonious piece. This is a real orchestra of chamber music with the electronic hit as a bonus! Between sessions of dynamic scratch and the intimate soberness of the tracks sung by Monique Harcum, we find a diverse universe between hiphop, triphop and underground jazz. This is a must for all amateurs of sound that is both accessible and energetic, to play it non-stop!

An ethical code of conduct, that which was viewed as the right way to approach hunting, was a concept that originally developed in Europe. This did not, however, carry over with the settlers to the New World. America was the land of abundance and opportunity. A life of independence, free from servitude and filled with promise, was there for the taking. All one had to do is be resourceful and take. How we hunted did not matter back then. There was no need or room for an ethical approach to hunting. Game was plentiful and hunting was not for sport, but for survival and profit.
In time, when enough land was cleared for reliable food crops and domesticated livestock, food security became less of an issue for those living in more populated areas. These same human developments and decades of overharvesting had left wildlife population in scarce supply. Hunters had to venture further and further into the wilderness to bag their game. The concept of hunting for sport began to develop at this time, as did the need to restrict the amount of game taken so it could replenish and there would be game to hunt tomorrow. This is when the notion of conservation first began to appear, and along with it an ethical approach to hunting that showed restraint.
By the late 1800s, unregulated sport and commercial market hunting had taken its toll. Wildlife was no longer abundant or even present in all but the furthest reaches of remaining wilderness. Sportsmen already knew what was happening, but the broader public was just beginning to take notice of the extinction of some species and the near extinction of others. The logical solution was preservation and protection, which included an end to hunting. Those closest to the situation had a different idea.
Influential sportsmen who valued the game they sought and the spirit of the chase stepped forward; most notably was Theodore Roosevelt. He formed a group of his friends into the Boone and Crockett Club in 1887 to address the rapid decline of big game populations on a national scale. Their solution was to promote a new system of natural resource use they called "conservation," and they promoted regulated hunting as the foundation for this new system.
Conservation was based on the fact that people need and will use natural resources, including wildlife, but this use would now have to be regulated and guided by science. For society to accept this new idea over complete protection, Roosevelt and the Club began to promote another new concept: one called fair chase.
If hunting was going to be allowed to continue, how it was being conducted and the character of the hunter now mattered. Fair chase became a matter of pride and status. It separated those who hunted for personal reasons from those who hunted for profit, ie., the commercial market hunters who had no code of honor.
Fair chase became a part of an overall conservation ethic. It defined a true sportsman as one who could kill game, yet use self-restraint and stand guard to ensure that wildlife populations would never be threatened again. It didn't mean hunting was a sport like other contests, but rather its participants used a "sporting" approach. Fair chase defined the rules of engagement that elevated sportsmen to being highly respected members of the community, both for their skill as woodsman and providers, but also for their commitment to something greater than themselves.

I woke up from a dream. And in that dream is sugar. A tablespoon of sugar.
Even while dreaming I knew what it was telling me. I had been self-indulgent the past years, giving in to pleasures that satisfy my being. And yes, while these pleasures satisfy, they also dull the senses.
Benjamin Franklin wrote of thirteen virtues that he keeps tabs on everyday. The first is temperance or the control of urges to overindulge. Admittedly, this should also be the first on my list–to eat not to dullness, to drink not to elevation, and to satisfy not to ecstasy.
Sugar is sweet, and it's very good. Yet it has to be enjoyed with something else, and at appropriate portions. No matter how sweet and nice it is, no one eats sugar by itself and too much sugar would actually make one cringe. Instead, sugar is sprinkled on things that would go better with it. And you're not just enjoying the sugar, but the whole blend of sugary-goodness in that sweet palette.
And so it goes in a lot of things in this life.
Food is sugar. We enjoy food because it gives our mornings that energy kick. We enjoy feasting on parties because it fills our stomachs as much as our spirits are filled when friends and families surround us on celebration days.
Sex is sugar. We enjoy sex because it allows us to intimately connect with our parters. It's not enjoyed by oneself only, but with a covenant partner and the experience is both sweet and satisfying.
This is a lesson on moderation and propriety. To exercise restraint. To seek satisfaction only as it is so designed.
Finally, sugar is sweet. The climax of its sweetness is when it lends itself to others. When we sprinkle God's sweetness wherever we are, we sweeten up the place and let others taste and see God's goodness. (Psalm 34:8) It's not for us to take a whole tablespoon of sugar. It's for us to take a dash and make a bland world a sweeter place to be in.

Steven Slater, the renegade airline steward who shot to cult stardom when he walked off the job by sliding out of a plane's inflatable emergency slide and onto the tarmac at JFK with two beers in-hand, can't catch a break. While he was in court yesterday, copping a plea that would allow him to skip jail time in exchange for substance abuse and psych treatment (and a $10,000 fine to his former employer), his partner's brother burglarized their home.
According to the Daily News, Ken Rochelle broke into his brother's and Slater's Rockaway Beach apartment yesterday afternoon and stole a laptop, printer, and microwave that he later fenced for drugs.
Queens DA Richard Brown called Rochelle's actions "brazen" and a "crime of opportunity." He is charged with second-degree burglary and is expected to be arraigned in Queens Supreme Court today.
Well, at least Slater will always have that photo of himself with Barry Manilow.

I have managed to resist getting a lot of these series that have turned into movies. I wasn't in the slightest interested in reading Twilight (although I'm sure the books were way better than watching the movies). I can honestly admit I only got through one Harry Potter. I know it's good and everybody loves them. I didn't get through the movies either, and I'm sure they were much better than Twilight.
The Hunger Games I know is not the same, but it's still a teen series that has gotten so huge because people love the book, and the movie. I haven't seen the movie yet, and decided to buy the first in the series to see what all the fuss is about. Now I know.
I loved it. I couldn't put it down. I was SO invested in the story, and in the characters. I think I'll probably love the movie as well. It won't be as good, but I think it'll still be okay.
It also left me wanting more. The last two books are still being offered in hard cover, and I don't quite want to pay for them. I never thought I'd say this, but I wish I had an electronic reading device! I've the books are quite a bit cheaper.
I'm not going to get into the plot because it's all over the place. I loved it. I loved the idea of it, and would love to talk to the author. There wasn't a lot about her at the back of a book.
On to my next book. I'm not buying the new one of this series quite yet. I'll make it a gift to myself after going to the gym for a month. I'll stick to the books I have in my room for now that I haven't read yet.

The Episode starts with Ragini coming to meet Swara. She asks if Sanskar came to meet her. Swara says yes and tells that Sanskar came and promised to marry her tomorrow.

I came across an interesting topic about the English translation of 酒後亂性
At first, I thought maybe you can say "Getting wild while drunk" or "Engaging in sex uncontrollably when drunk". But then, does 酒後亂"性" have to do with sex or getting wild? Maybe not.
Maybe "to lose one's senses when drunk", or "to lose one's head when drunk" would be a better usage.
As for "to loose control getting drunk", I would say that what it meant is more around "to loose control over drinking and get to the point that you are drunk". This usually refers to someone who is an alcoholic and cannot control how much he drinks.
I would say that if you want to use the word "control", a better and less ambiguous phrase would be "to loose control when drunk", which means "to loose control when you are drunk".
An interesting article around this:
From: Psychology Today - My Genes Made Me Do It
But although genes can influence reactions to alcohol, they cannot explain why some people continue drinking to the point of destroying their lives. Most people find orgasms rewarding, but hardly any engage in sex uncontrollably.

In attempt to keep TTC from becoming my idol again, I decided that I needed a new hobby, something to keep me focused and feeling productive. And since I can't seem to grow a baby, why not try and grow something else? We have Okra, Squash, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Corn, Cilantro, Radishes, Zucchini and even Egg Plant. It's so amazing to watch God take such a tiny seed and turn it into a plant, I love watching them grow taller and stronger each day. And hopefully, as this garden grows...I will too.

See Those Keys
I went to the eye doctor last week. Same old story, they fade a little more each time I go. Sigh. I suppose typing by the light of my screen does not help the situation. Yet we are stubborn. It will take more than an eye doctor appointment to change my computer habits. So instead I will buy more accessories to help me see!
The appropriately named Keys U See keyboard, $39.95 at FirstSTREET Online, fits perfectly into my scheme of continuing to degrade my eyesight! A standard keyboard – 104 keys including 10 key, function keys and hot keys – has been reworked by FirstSTREET. Keys are actually yellow and all letters, numbers and symbols enlarged. How big? As big as the key will allow. So yes, you can actually see where you are on the board! Keys U See connects via USB like any other keyboard. The device is designed to work with PC. There is limited Mac functionality for OS 9.0 or newer (letters and numbers work, no hot keys though). Yes, Keys U See was created for and is geared more to people with visual impairments like macular degeneration. But seriously, aren't most of us driving ourselves there by working by the light of the monitor? Give your eyes a break! Get keys you can see.

Guess what the French word for "paper clip" is. Give up? It's "trombone" or to be more grammatically correct, "un trombone" --- what a much more imaginative word to capture the shape of what we anglo speakers mundanely call the paperclip.
Why am I writing about trombones and speech jammers? Because they are both educational experiences that I never would have remembered if I had not agreed to teach the computer ethics and writing course at SUNY, Plattsburgh as I mentioned in the previous column. Associative memory is a strange and amazing thing.
I also promised a Part 2 to complete my thoughts regarding this process and so, here they come:
I began preparing for this course several months ago by perusing my last Syllabus which lays out the goals of the course and the scheduled assignments --- what to read when and when the writing assignments on the readings are due. Fortunately, the textbook is the same one I chose 5 years ago although it is now in it's fifth edition but the content is pretty much the same and the ethical theory covered has not yet changed. The supplementary readings were a bit out of date so I thought I could replace that with readings from the web (including perhaps some of the articles from this very column accessible at: tec-soc.blogspot.com )This required reading ethical articles on the web.
In the process I found that in addition to the standard ethical theories of : Relativism (Cultural and Subjective), Divine Command Theory, Egoism, Kantianism, Utilitarianism (Act and Rule), and Social Contract Theory --- I had overlooked investigating the Free Will vs Determinism issue even though it's resolution is critical to the study of ethical theory. Determinism has been described as the view that the past determines the future. However,you must first believe that humans have free will, that one can rationally choose their actions before you can hold them accountable for them. And since Ethics can be briefly characterized as What you Ought to Do, you implicitly accept Free Will over Determinism which, in its extreme form states that we cannot control our actions as every action is predetermined by its many causes. No wonder this issue has been debated for over two millennia without resolution, however, I found the links below to be useful:
Humans have Free Will
Humans do not have Free Will
Humans are Determined but still have Free Will
Buddhist View of Free Will
It's been quite a bit of work but it's been worth it.
A long-time friend and colleague once told me that that whenever he hears from someone that claims we profs have an easy life on the gravy train, he responds, "Yeah, that's right, I only work 9 hours a week and 30 weeks a year --- anyone who's not a teacher is crazy!". The reply is usually stunned silence and hopefully, eventually the realization that not only is this a gross oversimplification, it's just not true. I've worked for over fifty years in the federal government, private industry and in academia and I can say without a doubt that I've never worked harder or been happier than when working as a teacher. Next to being a brain surgeon performing a successful operation, I cannot think of a more fulfilling profession.

For me life has been a tilt-o-whirl the past 2 years but it seems things are FINALLY calming down. That being said I am going to close this blog down. I have become quite disenchanted with Etsy so have decided to combine my Etsy store and blog into one new site. Of course the custom domain of www.artbysurebets.com isn't working, there is a definite blogger glitch going on. But not to worry, you can find me at http:// artbysurebets.blogspot.com
So when you get a chance come check out the new site and say hi.

The Joys Of Dumpster Diving
Nothing makes me happier, or sparks my creativity more, than the discovery of discarded furniture on the side of the road. I am fortunate to live in a neighborhood where the residents can't be bothered going to the dump and everything they don't want ends up on the curb. Imagine my delight when I found this wheelchair by the garbage dumpster this morning!
It is definitely unusual, I have never seen a chair quite like it, it has a bit of a "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" vibe to it. It is quite narrow compared to modern wheelchairs and has a very high back, I can't wait to alter it, I think It will be my new work desk chair. The foot rest slides way out and as you can see it holds one cat perfectly.
The back of the chair has this interesting bar to make pushing it easy.
I think the most difficult part of working on this chair is going to be keeping this one off of it. She loves it and has already claimed it for herself.

Tsunami Art
When tsunami sirens start blaring at 6:00 in the morning and you find you have an unexpected day off from work what do you do? I really wanted to go back to bed but by the time I realized I was going to be in for the day I had finished off a pot of coffee making the possibility of sleep slim. I could either head to the roof with a case of beer, like many of my neighbors, or I could stay in and work on something. Since it was still what I consider early morning hours beer didn't seem like the appropriate choice so I stayed in and did this piece. The beer came later.......

Christmas In February
I am probably known for my lateness in gift giving. Despite my best efforts
I never seem to get the package in the mail on time. And as much as I love Christmas, I find I am usually not in the mood to celebrate it until mid January, when the frenzy of the season has subsided. I guess I have always followed a different calendar than everyone else. So when a friend says they are going to be late sending a gift it makes me giddy with anticipation, I just love extending a celebration! That being said I was beyond happy when Erin sent my Christmas present last week. I think this piece she made was well worth the wait! And not only did she make this for me she sent flying monkeys and plush scum! I have said it before and I will say it again, my friends are just the best.
Merry Christmas!

King David, The Birthday Boy
I forgot to photograph the crown I made so I thought I would share this photo one of my coworkers sent me. This is my boss on his birthday. Unfortunately you can't see the green bicyclist that started all of this!

Does This Happen To You?
It started out simply enough. It always does right?
I decided to make a crown for my boss. It is his birthday this week and he seems very excited about it. He is an adorable 70 + year old man, with a fabulous sense of humor and a fascinating history behind him. He deserves a crown! I decided to keep it relatively simple with a few references to his passions (rebuilding tossed out chairs and biking). As I recalled I had the perfect adornment for one area of the crown, a small green bicyclist, I knew it would be perfect. And that is where the trouble began.
Try as I might I just can't seem to organize my art supplies. They are oozing out of every corner in my small apartment. I have them housed in clear boxes, cardboard boxes, shoe boxes, cigar boxes, large tins, large plastic jars, plastic bags, it goes on and on. And yet amid all of that stash I knew I had a small green bicyclist.
I was sure it was somewhere on my work desk, in a bag, or maybe it was in a box. I went through everything I could easily access, no luck. I went through the boxes on the shelves to the right of the desk, again no luck. I went through the massive drum size tins under my desk, dumping the contents and sifting through them. I found troll dolls, plastic squid, centipedes, rubber finger puppets, plastic babies, dog house charms, army soldiers, bowlers, and hula dancers, but no green bicyclist! By that point I had worked myself into a frenzy, I was obsessed, nothing else would work on that spot of the crown but that specific plastic green bicyclist!!! I moved more boxes and went through the broken jewelry, the containers of beads and feathers, still no luck. Maybe I had used it in something, or perhaps I tossed it out during one of my feeble attempts to clean up.
I don't take defeat easily but after almost 2 hours of searching I decided I was going to have to rethink that portion of the crown and find something else. If I still had the bicyclist I would probably find it 6 months from now while looking for something else. I had met defeat. Then, out of the corner of my eye I saw a shoebox I missed, it was wedged under another box. Was it worth pulling out and going through? Probably not, but why not. So I pulled the box out started going through the contents-Styrofoam balls, toothpicks, tubes of glitter, scarabs, monopoly money, and there in the corner I saw it, a lone green bicyclist!
So now I am sneezing like a fool from all the dust I stirred up but my work area is a bit cleaner and most importantly my boss has a small green bicyclist on his crown!
Happy Birthday David.

At Last....
Now that I have successfully remembered my password I can re-engage myself on here! I hope the holidays were full of good times for everyone and 2010 proves to be the year we all want it to be.
Here is a bit of what I have been up to (I apologize for the goofy layout, I can't seem to master the posting of photos on here)..........
This is an encaustic piece I made as a house warming for Erin. Another apology, I photographed it at night and the flash bounced off the mirrors and wax no matter what I did, hence the bad glare. That is pretty much true of all these photos, sorry.
Close up detail......
These are Christmas gifts I made for some of my favorite people.

Pictures of Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In are getting a lot of attention.
An online community posted pictures with the caption, "Pictures of Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In taking a new pictorial." The pictures feature Song and Yoo, who were recently selected as representatives for an instant camera brand.
In the pictures, Song is holding a white camera and Yoo is holding a black camera. Their outfits match their respective cameras. Since they appeared on KBS's series Sungkyunkwan Scandal, they showed off their close friendship while shooting the commercial.
People responded: "Song and Yoo are so handsome." "They look good together." "They are daebak!" "I hope Song and Yoo can appear on the same series one more time." "Just looking at them makes me smile." "They make my eyes feel clean."

Well, it's the style of the series - comedy first, drama later. It's fun and looking now, but who knows what kind of drama we'll get hit with in March.
Still, I'm liking this so far. Really reminded me of how much fun it was watching the Onegai series.

Oh man, this episode is a Delusion Diary episode one fantasy after the other, I can't even pick a favorite one
Something else though made me laugh. That post I did last time about what Kaito was about to say, well well lookey here he was about to confess lol. But the best part is another of my examples was also used, as Ichika thought he was going to play 20 questions about herself So was I right on two accounts?
And of course Lemon-chan, wielding that huge camera, what is with this girl carrying stuff twice as big as her stature? Her bento in episode 01 was the first thing I noticed about this
Oh, and tell me I wasn't the only one who laughed out frickin loud when Mio tried to stop her skirt from blowing in the wind. I was like "WAIT A MINUTE..... DID SHE REALLY GO NOPAN?!?!?"

God I am in love with this show. Everything from the comedy to the awkward moments and the subtle hints of romance comes off incredibly well. Kaito isn't the walking cloud of angst that Kei was, and seeing him and Ichika harmonize even when they're not together makes this couple far more enjoyable to watch than their predecessors combined.
And Lemon is easily the best troll ever The BD extras should be Lemon-tan visiting other JC Staff shows and trolling everybody

The last part was unexpected. I thought the episode would follow the usual trend with romance anime which usually lead everything back to square one and maintain the statu quo, but I was wrong.

I'm finding myself kind of bored with Ichika and Kai's romance. It's very...meh. Usually I'd be alright with it and rate it higher, but I keep comparing it to Kei and MIzuho's and like it was mentioned earlier they were married by now (then continued to work on the relationship as the series went on). So with this series' main romance having similar pieces I just can't enjoy it as much.
That being said, I'm loving Tetsurou as a character. The guy is a bro, and I'm very interested to see if the flames will ignite between him and Mio, or Kanna. Speaking of Mio, I'm loving her too. While we`re at it, Lemon is bloody awesome. That escape was priceless.
Also, people here seem to have some killer eyesight. Both Kei and Ichika can pick out people on a train quite a ways away.
Lastly, I must know the identity of that driver. She looks divine.

This show's execution continues to be less than impressive. It's funny to me how much the comedy in this tends to miss its mark. Certain things are either too understated, or overdone in presentation. I always get the feeling that they are trying too hard as well... Kind of like "Hey lets throw a joke in these intervals to make the audience laugh." This relaxed atmosphere does not work for this show one bit.
Lemon's character has been quite the eye sore as well. So jammed into your face as an "OMG! I'm a funny character!" Always sounding really confident for no particular reason and messing with the cast in supposedly comical ways, and I just really have to ask why she even is in cast. Obviously she's not even a character at this point. Just a comic relief tool, and a poor one at that since what she does all too predictable and nonsensical. Not to mention the execution problems this show has on the comedy front just does not help this show one bit.
Show so far has a bit of the worthless main protagonist syndrome. No idea at the moment why in the world anyone would have a crush on him, but hey as always, this stuff often does not make sense. Though I guess this cast in general is just very unappealing. The only ones who stand out are the ones who stand out for bad reasons. Nothing really interesting about them.
Overall... There there is some love triangle which hasn't been given much detail, some sentimental thing going on with a video and the main character possibly dieing, and bad comedy. Of course the scifi really hurts it, because it makes the main character relation in this appear quite silly.
Just another bad Ano Natsu episode... 3/10....

Wow, I thought anyone could post whether they be kissing the show's ass or kicking it? Must have been mistaken...
Reckoner's dead on with how horrid of a character Kaito is. That alien blob thing would be a better main character than him. He reminds me of that other disaster MC from Dragon Crisis, Ryuuji...
The other mess is the love triangle of doom, or is it squared right now...?

Going by that shot of her in her room and how she reacted to the wind under her skirt... Mio is a budding exhibitionist?
I hope the plot won't be advanced through misunderstandings caused by delusions by every character. One episode of that should be enough. The final scene was so wonderfully awkward that I loved it though. I've heard about how that happened to a friend and boy was it spot on here.
Meanwhile, Lemon continues to convince me that she is Ichigo under an alias and new school.

This weeks 5 + 1 conference and diplomatic activity around Iranian nuclear operations we all witness, aroused the subject for a while; however referring the experience UN, IAEA and world leaders have with Iranian delegation does not give much room for optimism and Iran2407 keeps the skeptical vision on the matter and the reason for it is the almost decade-long effort to persuade Iran's government to halt the uranium enrichment. Is there another red line melted and fell to diplomacy efforts?
The Economist in his last week's editorial fully enlightens the topic :
"…OPTIMISM, in the intricate and frustrating world of international wrangling about Iran's nuclear programme, is a relative concept. But the White House did call the opening of talks between Iran and the "5+1 group" (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany) in Istanbul four weeks ago a "positive first step". After several months in which a pre-emptive military strike by Israel on Iran's nuclear facilities seemed to be becoming more likely, hopes of a diplomatic solution have now risen. Attention is switching to Baghdad where, on May 23rd, the work on a deal will begin in earnest.
Iran's return to the table in an apparently more constructive mood marks a sharp change. The latest round of talks failed in January 2011, after Iran's chief negotiator, Saeed Jalili, set preconditions that other countries found unacceptable. But since the end of 2011 pressure on the regime in Tehran has increased. The UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), published a damning report detailing its concerns over the "possible military dimensions" of Iran's nuclear programme.
The last time Iran seemed interested in co-operating was in 2003, shortly after the invasion of Iraq. George Bush had named Iran as part of the "axis of evil" (which also contained Iraq and North Korea). Fearing that it could suffer Iraq's fate, Iran signed the Additional Protocol of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which gives IAEA inspectors souped-up rights of access. Two years later, when things were going badly wrong for America in Iraq and Iran believed the threat of an invasion had passed, it reneged on those commitments.
But responding to pressure is not the same as genuine willingness to do a deal. Optimists think the restarted talks could persuade Iran to take a new course and defuse a hugely dangerous crisis. But sceptics believe that the regime is playing for time, growing ever closer to the point where it can produce a small arsenal of nuclear weapons. Doomsters contend that it is all too late anyway: Iran is already so close to the nuclear threshold that the main effort should now be to dissuade potential nuclear rivals, such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, from taking the same path…" (The Economist)

If you need financial help before your Universal Credit payment is due and meet certain conditions, you can ask for an advanced payment from Job Centre Plus (not the Council) to help you manage through the first month until your Universal Credit payment is made. Please note that future payments will be reduced to pay for this advance.
Any help you get with your rent will be included within your Universal Credit payment and you'll then need to pay your landlord yourself.
Will Universal Credit cover my council tax?
Universal Credit will not provide financial help for Council Tax. You may be eligible to receive Council Tax Support if you are liable for council tax.
What other support can Mole Valley provide?

- provide online access in our offices at Pippbrook to help you complete your Universal Credit claim
- offer advice with claiming other welfare benefits that you may be entitled to
- help you complete your claim for Council Tax Support
- in certain circumstances offer personal budgeting support to help you to manage your money
Extra help towards your rent
Sometimes the Housing Element of Universal Credit may not be enough for you to pay your rent.
The Discretionary Housing Payment scheme may be able to help you. Each application we receive will be considered on it's own merits. Payments are made at our discretion if we believe you need extra short-term financial support.
To claim Discretionary Housing Payment help with Universal Credits (see 'Downloads') and complete a Universal Credit Discretionary Housing Payment Application form.
If you are already claiming any benefits
If you're already claiming any benefits that will be combined into Universal Credit, you don't need to do anything unless you have a significant change or need to claim one of these benefits. The DWP will also contact you when Universal Credit will affect you.
Information for landlords
The move to tenants receiving monthly household payments that include the Housing Costs Element of Universal Credit is a significant change compared to the separate Housing Benefit payments that have previously been paid.
Alternative Payment Arrangements (APAs) have been introduced to provide extra help for tenants:
- where there's a risk of financial harm to the claimant or their family; or
- In order to safeguard the claimant's home
- APAs can be considered at any point during the life of a Universal Credit claim and can be requested by the claimant, their representative or the landlord. An APA can be made when:
- a claimant has rent arrears totalling at least two month's rent
- a claimant has continually underpaid their rent over a period of time and they currently have at least one month of arrears
Further information can be found on the GOV.UK website on what Universal Credit means for Private Landlords and Housing Associations and applying for an APA.

Even in the ancient logic, all the authorities (Pramanas) are based on perception only. You see the fire giving smoke. This is deduction or perception. When you see the smoke coming from a distance and do not see the fire, you say that fire exists there and this is induction or inference (Anumana Pramanam). But this induction is based on your previous deduction only. Somebody says to you that fire gives smoke. If that person is your dearest, you believe it and infer the fire from the smoke. This is authority of word Shabdha Pramanam. Though you have not seen the fire, your dearest person has seen the smoke coming from fire. Like this all the authorities are based on perception only. I do not find any scripture of any Religion, which contradicts the experience of perception. There are four ways of authority. 1) Sruthi, which is the original scripture. 2) Smrithi, which is the commentaries of Scholars on the original scripture. 3) Yukthi, the logical analysis based on deduction, induction etc., 4) Anubhava, the experience based on the perception of the items in this world, which may be direct or indirect. Out of these four ways, the fourth way is the most powerful. If anything contradicts the fourth way, that is not valid or it may be a misinterpretation based on misunderstanding of the Sruthi or Smrithi or Yukthi. Thus Science and Philosophy are not separate. The very frame of the spiritual knowledge is Science only. Thus Science is the basic foundation and over all underlying structure of all the Scriptures. A true Scientist should always stand on the perception and should not deny the experience derived by perception. If he denies, he is not a scientist. All top most scientists were philosophers and spiritual people only. Those scientists have travelled along the river of Science and reached its end, which is the ocean of spiritual knowledge called as philosophy. Philosophy is pervading all the branches of Science. Every branch of Science gives Ph.D as the final degree. Ph.D means Doctor in Philosophy. If Science and Philosophy are different, why this word Philosophy is regarded so much by all the branches of Science? Philosophy means the essence of the knowledge of every branch that is experienced when one reaches the end of that branch. Therefore, the spiritual knowledge, which is the ocean is the Philosophy in which all branches of Science and all the Religions merge and loose their identity. A scientist who has not reached the end of Science and who is still travelling in the river only denies the existence of the ocean, since he is still perceiving the limiting boundaries of his knowledge river. Such river-travellers are called as atheists. They neither see the ocean nor see the other rivers. Even the follower of any particular Religion is in the state of this atheist only. He is no better than these atheists because he believes that God is a particular form only, which is a small part of this creation. Some other followers believe God as formless, who is the all-pervading cosmic energy. Since cosmic energy is also a part of the creation, their form of God is very big. These atheist-scientist believe that this creation is God. Thus all these are atheists only. All these atheists, who may be scientific atheists or religious atheists, will realize the true nature of God only when they reach the end of the Science or Religion. A scientific atheist is contradicting his own authority, which is the perception. When the human incarnation performs the inexplicable miracles, how can they deny the perception of such miracles? You may do that miracle in an alternative way, but that does not contradict the different path of the original miracle. One may get first class by copying. Such false first class cannot contradict the genuine first class. The result is same, but the process is different. You may produce ash by putting a fine powder of wet salt in the grews of your hand like a magician. The same ash may be produced by a divine miracle also. Since the result is same, can you argue that the process also should be same? Since the first class result is same in the case of the original student and a fraud student, do you mean that the hard work of the original student is fraud? Do you mean that the original and fraud students are one and the same? Therefore, the same result can have two different processes. Since the result is same, processes need not be same. Do you mean that a result has only one process? Is it not contradicting the very fundamentals of Science? A Chemical compound can be produced in several ways (Hess Law). Since the compound is same, do you mean that the alternative reactions are also one and the same? Same Chennai city can be reached by several ways. Since the end City is same, do you mean that all the paths are not different? Do you mean that all the paths are merged as one path only and thus there is only one path to reach the Chennai city? Therefore, conservative scientists and conservative religious followers can be categorized as immature analysts. The immaturity indicates their position in the river and maturity indicates their position in the end of the river, which is the ocean. Einstein, Newton, Heisenberg etc., are the top most scientists who have travelled and travelled along the Science River and reached the final spiritual ocean.

The Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association says Gov. Tom Wolf's moratorium on thedeath penalty in the state is a misuse of his power.
The association responded Friday after the Democratic governor announced the policy and called the current system of capital punishment "error-prone, expensive and anything but infallible."
The prosecutors say Wolf's action ignores the law and imposes his personal views about the death penalty.
Pennsylvania has 183 men and three women on death row.
The state has only executed three people since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty in 1976, the last one in 1999.
All three had voluntarily given up their appeals.

Akha hill tribe – History and Culture
Origins of the Akha people
The Akha hill tribe originated in Yunnan in Southern China. Yunnan has the highest Akha population. Over several centuries many Akha have been migrating southward from their original home. In the middle of the 19th century significant numbers were moving into Kengtung State, the easternmost of the Shan States of Burma. Others made their way into Laos. The Akha in Thailand came from Burma. The first Akha hill tribe village in Thailand was probably established in 1903 in the Phaya Phrai area on the Burmese border. Phaya Phrai is in Mae Fah Luang District, Chiang Rai. Our partner Haute Culture Fashion Textile Tours made this video for us:
Where do they live?
The Akha hill tribe people live in Yunnan China, Kengtung in Northern Shan State in Myanmar, Northern Thailand, Laos and North Vietnam.
An area with a large percentage of Akha hill tribe people is Mae Salong (now known as Santikhiri) in Chiang Rai province.
Akha hill tribe villages are also found in the area of Ban Therd Thai (formerly known as Ban Hin Taek), a former residence and base of the so-called "Opium King", Khun Sa.
Akha subgroups
In Thailand there are basically two subgroups of Akha hill tribe: Akha Loi Mi and Akha U Lo. The Loi Mi are easily recognizable by the distinctive metal plate on the back of the women's head dress. The U Lo women wear a conical headdress.
Akha Language
The Akha hill tribe speak a language in the Lolo/Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burman language group. The Akha have no traditional written language. There are a variety of schemes for writing Akha. These have been developed by missionaries or linguists which employ Roman, Thai or Burmese characters, but literacy in Akha is still virtually non-existent.
Though many Akha, especially younger people, profess Christianity, Akha Zang (The Akha Way), a total lifestyle perscribed in the oral literature of the Akhas, still runs deep in the consciousness of older generations. The Akha Way combines animism, ancestor worship and their deep relationship with the land. For an Akha, the Akha Way is a way of life which extends beyond simple religious practice and infuses every aspect of their existence. The Akha Way emphasizes rituals in everyday life and stresses strong family ties; every Akha male can recount his geneology back over fifty generations to the first Akha.
Culture and lifestyle
The Akha hill tribe people generally live in bamboo houses raised on low wooden stilts in hilly areas. These huts are divided by gender. One side is for the women. Tthe other side, occupied by the men, is used as a more public area. The Akha subsist through an often destructive form of slash and burn agriculture. This can result in elimination of old growth forest, native animal species and serious soil runoff problems. They are expert farmers who focus on mountain rice, corn, and soybeans that are planted in seasonal shifts. The Akha are also very efficient hunters, though their prey sometimes includes endangered species. Some Akha grew opium for income in the past.
Akha Traditional Dress and Textiles
These pictures were made for Green Trails by Donna Bramhall from Haute Culture Textile Tours.
Important festivals
The most famous festival of the Akha hill tribe is the swing festival. This festival takes place at the peak of the rainy season which is the end of August or the beginning of September.
Interesting links
This website contains a lot of interesting information on the Akha.
Tours that contain visits to Akha villages

What Sri Sri said today:
'Harmony is born in sound'
Bangalore Ashram, March 26 (Thursday), 8:30 pm: "Harmony is born in sound," Sri Sri told the 700-strong crowd, adding, "This is what happens in satsang." Briefly speaking about the effect that sound has on particles, Sri Sri said, "Your body is made up of particles. Music has an effect on it. That's why satsang is important. When you're in satsang, just be immersed in it. Satsang changes the particles in your body. It reorganises your system. Experiments by a scientist have proved that particles – whether chalk dust or iron follicles – dance to music and arrange themselves in beautiful patterns.
On another note, Sri Sri referred to a German scientist Hans-Peter (Duerr) whose studies prove the essence of the Advaita principle: 'Everything is nothing.'
