Deadline Extended for Senior and Senior Freeze Exemption Applications
Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios announced that his office has extended the deadline for the Senior Citizen Exemption and Senior Freeze Exemption renewal applications for Tax Year 2016. Savings from these exemptions will appear as deductions on the 2017 Second Installment Property Tax Bills mailed this summer. The extended application deadline is March 1, 2017.
Seniors must reapply annually for both the Senior and Senior Freeze Exemptions in order to continue to receive the deductions on their Second Installment Property Tax Bills.
To qualify for the Senior Citizen Exemption for Tax Year 2016, the property owner must have:
- been born prior to or in the year 1951;
- owned the property, or have a lease contract which makes them responsible for the real estate taxes; and
- used the property as a principal place of residence.
To qualify for the Senior Freeze Exemption for Tax Year 2016, taxpayers must have:
- been born prior to or in the year 1951;
- a total household income of $55,000 or less for [income] Tax Year 2015;
- owned the property or had a legal, equitable, or leasehold interest in the property on January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016;
- used the property as a principal place of residence as of January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016; and
- been liable for the payment of 2015 and 2016 property taxes.
Those who don't qualify for the Senior Freeze Exemption because they exceed the income level may still be eligible for the Senior Exemption. The Senior Exemption has no income restrictions.
Seniors receiving the Senior Citizen Exemption will automatically receive the Homeowner Exemption. Seniors receiving the Senior Freeze Exemption automatically receive both the Homeowner and Senior Citizen Exemptions.
Eligible seniors, who have never applied for the Senior and/or Senior Freeze Exemptions in the past, may visit theAssessor's website and download an application or contact the Assessor's Office at 312-443-7550 and request a form be mailed to them. Applications for the Homeowner Exemption and additional exemptions are also available online.
Tragic Death of Community Teen
I am deeply saddened at the shooting death of Alvin Stoll. My prayers are with his family. The incident remains under investigation, and I have let CPD Commander Looney know that he has the full support of my office in whatever the 16th District needs at this time.
This murder is particularly shocking, as the 16th District has one of the lowest murder rates in the city. It also has one of the highest murder clearance rates on the rare occasion that an instance like this does occur, thanks to the excellent work of the detectives in our area. I am confident that our detectives will do everything they can to find the perpetrator.
As alderman, I have advocated relentlessly over the past 6 years to bring more manpower to the 16th and other districts that impact the 45th Ward. While we have successfully brought more officers to our area, we remain committed to fighting for additional resources to stop gun violence in our neighborhoods once and for all.
Community Alert: Residential Burglaries
The 16th District has reported several burglaries in Jefferson Park that occurred during the month of February.
During the incidents, the unknown burglars broke into apartments and homes through windows and doors. The burglars stole jewelry, cash, and other miscellaneous items. The incidents occurred at:
- The 5800-block of North Medina at 3 PM on January 14;
- The 5400-block of North Mulligan between 8:15 AM and 8:45 PM on January 26;
- The 4800-block of North Mulligan between 4:00 PM February 1 and 1:00 AM February 2;
- The 5500-block of North Melvina between 9:00 AM and 4:37 PM February 2; and
- The 6200-block of West Gregory between 12:30 PM and 1:50 PM February 2.
Please be aware of this pattern of burglaries and alert your friends, family, and neighbors about these crimes. Please make sure to look all windows and doors and be aware of individuals soliciting products or services on behalf of any governmental agency or utility company.
If you see any suspicious activity, call 911 and provide a detailed description, including any vehicle description, license plate information, and direction of flight if known. If you have any information about these break-ins, please contact the Area North Bureau of Detectives at 312-744-8263.

Plans Unveiled to Alleviate Overcrowding at Northwest Side Schools
On Wednesday night, alongside Mayor Emanuel and State Representative Martwick, I unveiled a $36 million plan to address school overcrowding on the Northwest Side.
The announcement included a $24 million plan to renovate Prussing School, 4650 N. Menard, and add a permanent eight-classroom annex to address the chronic overcrowding issue. This announcement was made in front of a diverse audience of parents and students, representing 36 countries and 27 languages. In a school where 63.5% of students qualify as low-income, I am very proud of this investment in their future.
The plan also includes a new pre-kindergarten center at the old St. Cornelius School, 5252 N. Long Avenue. Last year, St. Cornelius, along with other area Catholic schools, merged into the new St. Francis Academy, making it an ideal location for the pre-K center. The new center will open up space in the regions' elementary schools, including Beaubien, Hitch, Prussing, and Farnsworth.
Finally, the announcement included plans for new turf fields at Schurz, Hitch, and Farnsworth schools. Turf fields have lower maintenance costs and save water, making this a fiscally responsible investment for these schools.
I am proud to usher in these changes to our schools and to continue to collaborate with the Mayor and CPS in developing comprehensive plans to address overcrowding on the Northwest Side.

2017 has been declared as the Year of Public Art. As such, the city is seeking artists for a 50×50 public arts project.
The 50×50 initiative was inspired by Chicago's 50 wards and the 50th anniversary of two of the city's most iconic public artworks – the Picasso in the Daley Plaza and the Wall of Respect, which once stood on the South Side.
Artists – including painters, photographers, and sculptors – interested in brightening and enhancing the city are invited to submit their qualifications for the project online before February 24.
More information on the Year of Public art -including a year of exhibitions, performances, tours, and other public events – can be found at the Department of Cultural Affair's and Special Event's website.
Chicago's Free Tax Preparation Assistance Program Now Open
Eligible individuals and families with children could receive up to $6,896 from the federal and state Earned Income Tax Credit alone, not including other valuable credits. Many Chicagoans may not claim all the income tax credits they deserve without the help of knowledgeable preparers, however.
Families earning up to $55,000 or individuals earning up to $30,000 are eligible to take advantage of the city's free and confidential income tax assistance at 19 sites across Chicago.
Volunteer tax preparers certified through IRS-approved training will assist eligible tax payers with federal and state income tax returns for the 2016 tax year. Sites will be open between late January and mid-April 2017. For specific information on location and site hours, visit the Tax Prep Chicago website. The closest site for 45th Ward residents is at Wilbur Wright College, 4300 N. Narragansett. Their hours are:
- Mondays from 5 pm to 8:30 pm January 30 thru April 17;
- Fridays from 10 am to 4 pm February 3 thru April 7; and

- This location will be closed on February 20, April 14, and April 15.
Last year, the City of Chicago's free income tax assistance helped 20,000 families and individuals receive $31 million in tax refunds and credits. This added income not only has a direct impact on the lives of Chicago residents – it also helps sustain small businesses, strengthens neighborhoods, and infuses millions of dollars into the local economy.

Tag: Harlem chapter of the Black Panther Party
Afeni Shakur, 1947-2016
She was born Alice Faye Williams in the dusty little town of Lumberton, North Carolina, on Jan. 10, 1947, a dimpled little Black girl, who grew into a petite young revolutionary known as Afeni Shakur, mother of a young rap icon and actor, Tupac Amaru Shakur. Like many country people – and far too many Black people – she looked down on herself for years, as not smart enough, not pretty enough – you know: too Black. Afeni Shakur, after 69 springs, returns to the infinite.
Field Marshal Aoki, Guy Kurose and myself were the only three*...
Brother Richard Aoki demonstrably and sincerely dedicated the vast majority of his life and his every living thought to achieve the overcoming of racism, poverty and inequality, without giving up. Richard was indeed exactly who he claimed to be, who is exactly what people back in the day of the struggle also knew him to be: a dedicated, brilliant revolutionary.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A Brexit deal should strike a balance to ensure Britain clearly diverges from the European Union's single market but keeps close economic ties with the bloc, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said after meeting British Prime Minister Theresa May on Friday.
With little more than a year to go before Britain leaves the EU, Merkel struck an upbeat tone after the talks, which she described as "a very constructive, friendly meeting". She said Germany had not fundamentally changed its position on Brexit.
"We regret (Brexit), but we want to lead the negotiations such that we have as constructive and close a partnership with Britain as is possible after the exit, both economically and politically," Merkel told a joint news conference with May.
May also said she wanted close economic ties after Brexit, but there has been little agreement so far on what will happen after March 2019.
Britain is hoping to negotiate a Brexit trade deal with the EU that maintains high levels of access to the bloc's single market. The EU says Britain will lose access if it sticks to its plan to end the free movement of workers from the bloc and no longer follow judgments of the European Court of Justice.
Earlier on Friday, British government officials said London was gearing up to push for the kind of Brexit plan on financial services that the City of London has long favored, but which has already run into opposition in Brussels.
"In the end, there needs to be a fair balance of divergence, from the single market for example, and on the other hand a partnership that is not too close," Merkel said.
"This can be achieved and the (EU)27 will ensure that the relationship is as close as possible but that there is a difference to (EU) membership," she added.
May said she wanted a Brexit deal that was good for companies in Britain and the rest of the European Union.
"I want to ensure that UK companies have the maximum freedom to trade and operate within German markets, and for German businesses to do the same in the UK," she told the news conference in Berlin.
Merkel said she was not frustrated with the Brexit negotiations but that they needed to progress.
"We want to adhere to the timetable, that means we are under time pressure," she said. "But we also want to do things thoroughly and that means we must have regular exchanges."
May is hoping to negotiate a transition deal next month which would leave Britain's relationship with the EU virtually unchanged for around two years.
She also has to settle internal differences within her Conservative Party which is split between those advocating a clean break from the EU, like her foreign minister Boris Johnson, and those who want as little disruption as possible to minimize the hit to Britain's economy, such as finance minister Philip Hammond.
Merkel was asked by reporters if she was frustrated by the halting pace of the Brexit negotiations.
"We are perhaps both sides in a process of learning and of finding where we can find a joint result," she said. "I find these exchanges very honest and good. There will need to be many more of them, but frustration is not an accurate description."

Sharing Custody of a Child after a Divorce
Co-parenting can be a very difficult thing to do for many divorced parents. One of the big issues that divorced parents often tackle are dealing and upholding the visitation rights. There are cases where the custodial parent, even without any cause, prohibits the non-custodial parent from visiting their child, even for a substantial amount of time. Although many non-custodial parents put up with this practice, there are ways that non-custodial parents can enforce their visitation rights.
According to the website of the BB Law Group, PLLC, a custodial parent can be legally held accountable for refusing the visitation rights of the non-custodial parent. There are two general ways that a custodial parent can withhold the visitation rights of a non-custodial parent: occasionally or consistently. If the visitation schedule is not followed and the custodial parent did not schedule any make-up dates for the missed days, it may be necessary for the non-custodial parent to contact their attorney for assistance. They will be the ones who will get in touch with the custodial parent or their attorney through a letter expressing the unacceptable nature of the interference in the visitation schedule. This will also inform the custodial parent that the issue can be taken to court in order for the visitation rights to be enforced.
If the visitation is withheld on a consistent basis, this is a blatant violation of the court order on the visitation rights of the non-custodial parent. When this happens, the non-custodial parent will have to file a legal petition that will enforce the visitation rights. These petitions can be filed on their own. But it would be better to have an experienced family attorney to handle the petition. It is important for custodial parents to follow court orders regarding visitation rights, as some states can transfer custody rights to the non-custodial parent if the custodial parent consistently refuses visitation from the other parent.
Because it can be an emotionally- charged affair, custody and visitation rights should only be handled by professionals who can help clear up the matter and make sure that everyone's rights are properly enforced. Parents spending time with their children play an important part in their growth and development, and no one should be allowed to interfere with such rights, especially divorced parents.Read More

Spicy Tomato Juice Recipe
If ever I'm completing a Reboot, I have to have a tomato based juice at night. It's my thing! A savory tomato juice is also great as a meal replacement or late-day snack. And of course, don't forget brunch! It's like a guilt-free Bloody Mary. Tomatoes aren't just a tasty ingredient to incorporate into your […]
Antioxidant-Rich Spicy Green Tea with Lemon
In the Reboot Kitchen: Red Hot Juice
I love tomato and pepper based juices, especially as a dinner juice. And I LOVE chili. This juice combines those two loves into a dynamo combination of savoury and hot. It's low in natural sugars and high in flavour and nutrients, and even contains metabolic benefits from the chili. A Japanese study on mice found that taking capsaicin (chili compound) was as effective as exercise when it comes to maintaining body weight.
Seasonal: Chili-Mint Brussels Sprouts
This time of year, is great for cooking brussels sprouts. They're readily available, easy to cook, delicious, and are versatile in terms of sauces, flavors and dressings to serve them with.

This is an official Ferrari factory issued postcard of Olivier Gendebien at the wheel of what looks to be his Ferrari 250 GT LWB TdF, S/N 0503GT, during the 1956 Mille Miglia in which he would finish 5th overall.
Olivier signed and dedicated the card himself on the front.
The text reads "A Primo Maffezzoli avec toute ma sympathy O. Gendebien"
The text loosely translates into "To Primo Maffezzoli with all my sympathy, O. Gendebien"
The image of Olivier with the bottle in his right hand while looking at what look to be some notes in truly iconic!
The card is in near mint condition, especially considering its age.

1959 Le Mans Race Poster REPRODUCTION.
June 20 & 21, 1959.
It measures approximately:16 x 22 inches40 x 56 cm
The 1959 Le Mans poster is part of the so-called "Major Illustrators" era in Le Mans posters which lasted from 1954 - 1963 and in which the cream of the crop of French motorsport illustrators such as Geo Ham, Jeudon and Beligond were hired for the design of the race posters.
The design of the 1959 poster was by Michel Beligond and was his second work for the Le Mans 24 hours race.
Beligond was preceded by Geo Ham and Jeudon and the switch to this relatively new artist immediately gave a more realistic rendering of the race.
The drivers running towards their cars in the typical Le Mans start with the international flag flying over the pit box building. With a little good will, one can see a Ferrari and a Jaguar ready to be taken to the tarmac by their sprinting drivers.
The race was won by Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby in their Nr 5 Aston Martin DBR1/300 (S/N 2) with a total of 323 laps to their name.

Don't you just hate it when you waste most of the weekend doing something that hasn't quite worked?
This is the first one:Very dull and boring and very little stitch either!
And the second one just wasn't right from the offset. Don't really know why I persevered as I had no intention of submitting it but I wanted to try something out with this one – and in the end I'm glad I did.
I knew it wouldn't be going anywhere once I put the layer of gesso on as the fabric lifted and puckered right in the centre and there would have been no way to disguise it.
You can get away with a lot of mishaps with a coat of acrylic paint, but not this time.
Reluctant to show the whole piece as it is just far too 'busy' – but would like to share the close ups.
I really like the colours I ended up with and the design reminded me of something industrial, machinery, cogs (rusty, of course) etc.
I Thermofax printed the cogs with heavy body black acrylic into the circles. My laser printer has run out of yellow and because of that it won't even print in black. So I used a Koh-I-Nor charcoal pencil to fill in the shape before I run it through the machine – and it worked perfectly. (That tip thanks to Guenther
here.) I then painted on Metallic Iron paint and when that was dry spritzed it with Rust Activator.
Just as a by-the-by. I bought the HP Laser printer, new, several months ago for around £130. It has four toner cartridges. A well know PC store wants £85 just to replace the yellow cartridge alone!!!
And there was me thinking I had got a bargain. I might just as well buy another printer.
I shall order online where I know I can get the toners for far less than that.

I like both pieces. Remember we are our own worst critic. Printers are cheap. They make their money on the ink.

You can buy injectable ink refills, for printers. I have used these before with some success, it is a lot cheaper than buying the new cartridges.

I would be delighted to have made either of them. The first one is tranquil and makes me think of the moon over a calm sea. The second one is definitely more exciting and I love the cog shapes and the colours you have achieved. Don't know anything about printers YET! I shall have to learn quickly as I am getting one in the near future.

Ouch!!! That is a lot for refills, I've had to get compatible for my inkjet far too much to buy the originals.

I like the details you have shown, especially the first piece which appeals to my love of gold and turquoise. The second piece has some interesting textures and shapes too.

I only wish that I could have successful pieces as good as your failures.
- June 14, 2009 10:11 pm
- Ruth said...
Maybe you could cut the second piece up and put it back together again as you like parts of it but not the whole. And it looks like from the comments that your first piece would be well liked whether you do or not.

i like what i see in nº 2!
warning, unsolicited suggestion ahead!!!!!
can't you just crop it and re assemble those pieces together?with perhaps a solid color to unify it?

Don't be so hard on yourself. The colors in the first are beautiful (but then those are the colors I tend to work in, well except that yellow, that's a color I tend to stay WAY clear of) lol :)

I get my toner cartridges from www.euroffice.co.uk they are the cheapest I have found and they send next day delivery free of charge.
All three pieces look magical to me :)

- Becky Vigor said...
Love the industrial details, and glad to see you've stopped being wary of the thermofax! I also have problems with abandoning my "lost cause" pieces. Sometimes I spend hours trying to make something come right and just know it won't, but can't leave it alone. I guess because sometimes the hours of trying do make it come right. But how to know which is which?
- June 16, 2009 10:59 pm
- Jackie said...
I think a big craft persons discussion about printers would be very useful. I want one I can put card through just to make business cardsa and labels but one of them just sends it straight through without printing and the other jams it after printing half a sheet.

Beams lift for new bridge over Malaga Drive
Media Release
27 November 2015
Joint release with:
Dean Nalder
WA Minister for Transport
Bridge beams for the new Reid Highway Bridge over Malaga Drive will be installed this weekend, heralding a major milestone in a month in this joint Federal/State funded project.
The Australian Government is contributing $67.2 million to this project. It is one of nine projects, receiving a total of $499.1 million in Australian Government funding, under the National Partnership on Infrastructure Projects in Western Australia.
Federal Minister for Major Projects Paul Fletcher said eight concrete bridge beams would be lifted into place over the weekend in one of the largest operations of its kind in Perth, forming the major works on the Reid Highway Malaga Drive interchange.
"Once completed the new bridge will provide two lanes in each direction, resulting in immediate safety and efficiency gains, along with greater capacity as traffic increases in the future," Mr Fletcher said.
"Nearly 75,000 vehicles pass through the Reid Highway, Malaga Drive intersection on a typical weekday and current forecasts show traffic volumes increasing to approximately 110,000 vehicles each day by 2031.
"To provide enough long-term capacity on Reid Highway and to save costs on future expansions, the bridges are being built to cater for three lanes in each direction in the future and a double right-turn facility has been included for heavy westbound-northbound traffic movement."
Western Australian Minister for Transport Dean Nalder said the bridge beams are larger than the ones installed in early November at the Reid Highway, Mitchell Freeway intersection.
"The beams each weigh 175 tonnes and are 46.8m long. They will be lifted into place this weekend by the same 600 tonne crawler crane that is set up on Malaga Drive," Mr Nalder said.
"Setting up this crane alone requires 31 semi-trailers to transport the components, and three oversize haulage vehicles.
"This bridge is critically important to the road network in the eastern suburbs as it will eliminate a road black spot at the Malaga Drive intersection."
Malaga Drive will be closed in both directions near Reid Highway all weekend to allow construction of the new bridge. Malaga Drive closes from 9pm Friday November 27 to 5am Monday November 30. Reid Highway will be closed near Malaga Drive for west-bound traffic only on Friday November 27 from 11pm to 7am and Saturday November 28 from 10pm to 12 midnight.
Motorists are encouraged to visit the Main Roads website for further details and to help plan their journey.

Valcke: Sao Paulo ready to host World Cup opener
SAO PAULO (AP) — FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke is confident Sao Paulo's stadium will be ready to host the opening match of the 2014 World Cup after overcoming its slow pace of construction.
A few months ago, FIFA had doubts about whether the venue would be delivered by the December deadline established for all World Cup stadiums. But Valcke said Monday after an inspection tour in Sao Paulo, "Yes, it will be ready."
Sao Paulo was Valcke's first stop in a four-day tour to inspect construction work in some of the 12 host cities. He will also visit Curitiba and Manaus before attending a board meeting of the local organizing committee in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.
Valcke showed relief after Sao Paulo visit, saying the work at the stadium appeared to be on the right track.
"I remember that during the Confederations Cup we had an emergency meeting because we were afraid about when this stadium would be delivered," Valcke said. "And I can tell you that, yes, the stadium will be given on time and, yes, it will be ready to organize the opening game of the World Cup and also for test events here before this opening game."
FIFA usually wants stadiums ready at least six months before major events but only two were completed within that timeframe ahead of the Confederations Cup earlier this year, keeping organizers from hosting enough events to thoroughly test the venues. FIFA made it clear that it wouldn't tolerate the same type of delays ahead of football's showcase event.
"We are confident, we are very happy," Valcke said from the stadium, with the newly installed pitch just behind him. "The grass seems already beautiful. In a few weeks, it will be ready to host the games. So again, what has been done is just amazing."
Constructors in Sao Paulo had said that it could be March before the venue was completed, only three months before the World Cup. That forced FIFA to go to local organizers and get them to hurry up.
Brazil Sport Minister Aldo Rebelo, the government official in charge of Brazil's preparations for the World Cup, said the stadium is 86 percent completed. It's the venue with the most advanced work of the six that still have to be delivered by December. Among the host cities racing against time are Curitiba and Manaus.
In addition to the problems with the stadiums, just days ago the government said it was concerned with the price hikes of hotels listed on FIFA's website, something that could prompt an investigation into the FIFA-appointed agency in charge of accommodation.
There have also been doubts about whether the upgrades needed at the country's airports will be ready in time for an event that kicks off in less than 10 months.

Maniac: Miniseries Reviews
October 2, 2018
It's satire and besides being tongue-in-cheek, should be funny. It isn't, it's funny like a toothache, and sinister. And it's hard to connect with the characters because they are not engaging and take the dark side of satire too seriously.
October 2, 2018
Maniac is more like a meandering journey that tries to deliver a message that doesn't actually exist amidst a science fictional world that attempts to straddle the border between reality and fantasy.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
September 26, 2018
Maniac seems more concerned with being great than being arresting, relatable, or funny... it's hard to let the actors' goodness raise to the forefront while sitting in that smog of importance.
September 28, 2018
Maniac on Netflix is not nearly as clever as it thinks it is.
September 21, 2018
With such a weak sense of place and individual characters, the show never really works. It never transcends its basic conceit.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/10
September 28, 2018
While impressive for its detailed and certainly imaginative world building, Maniac rarely dares to truly confound its audience.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
October 3, 2018
Maniac is absolutely absorbing in those moments, but they are far too few and the show never really connects the dots (even though, granted, not all dots need be connected when talking about the subconscious).
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
September 20, 2018
Understandably off-kilter but chaotic and dense Pharma Satirical-Fiction, nevertheless. Maniac is a pill that's difficult to swallow with adverse narrative side effects.
Full Review | Original Score: C
Top Critic
September 14, 2018
For all its manic poses and deflationary snark, it's ultimately patronizingly sentimental.
Full Review | Original Score: C-
October 15, 2018
In its tautological mantra, though, Maniac ends up echoing its own central failing.
Top Critic
September 21, 2018
While the leads, especially Stone, are fine, their performances sometimes struggle against the off-kilter nature of the material.
Top Critic
September 23, 2018
Maniac is a big, weird, tightly controlled mess of a show.
Top Critic
September 17, 2018
The show is half-baked and inconsistent: we've got a sad man and a badass woman, but they never feel like more than conceits, pre-stocked with conflict and resolution.
September 20, 2018
Maniac is just showing off from the first scenes. Like the man said, it insists upon itself. I felt just as trapped in Fukunaga's oppressively bespoke universe as Annie and Owen are in theirs, and I'm pretty sure that's not the point of the series.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
October 10, 2018
With Cary Joji Fukunaga at the helm and actors Emma Stone and Jonah Hill willing to go down these rabbit holes, the series elevates television to new heights
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
October 7, 2018
Maniac is an odd tale about a world where rather peculiar happenings occur in a deeply believable yet stylistic way
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
September 21, 2018
Maniac is a new kind of TV experience that constantly questions what it means to be "normal," or if such a thing even exists. It's the rare psychological puzzle show that wears its heart on its sleeve, finding the humanity in mystery.
Full Review | Original Score: A-
September 24, 2018
This is the kind of miniseries that will get attention for its visual creativity, but it's a trip worth taking because of the deeper places it wants to explore.
October 15, 2018
If you can appreciate storylines, within storylines, within storylines, Maniac may be the perfect limited series for you.
September 28, 2018
Surprise. That intangible so difficult to achieve. That moment in which a series leaves classic parameters and takes the path that you never thought you wanted to walk. [Full Review in Spanish]

This morning, like most other mornings, Danielle is the first one awake. What's unusual, however, is that she's in solitary confinement in the empty workout room. Of course she did this to herself, but it must be tough waking up knowing that you've still got hours of confinement left to get through. She gets up and starts pacing immediately, talking about the dreams she had that she was going to the bathroom, then she was with her parents and her kids at a movie theater eating a big bucket of fries. If I were her, I'd try to go back to sleep and dream some more. She complains that she's had her contacts in for two days now. Bleh, I know that feeling.
Dani brushes her teeth using bowls of water and then lays back down again. Will, Booger, and Chicken George are up and they just start talking when they're interrupted by flames. After about ten minutes, we're back and the grumpy hamsters are getting out of their cots or their makeshift floor beds. No one seems especially excited to be there.
Everyone thinks there must be something going on today, since BB called lights out the night before and now they're having to get up at 10 am on a Sunday. Maybe BB's just trying to get y'all on a regular sleep schedule – sometimes the simple answers make the most sense.
BB calls an outside lockdown, but a few feisty houseguests retort "we'll go outside when you give us back our beds!" Good luck with that one. Marcellas is still sleeping, so BB wakes him up and he takes his time getting ready to go outside (this entails donning the white eye mask of ennui, brushing teeth, and peering at himself in the mirror for a few minutes). Erika is also just rising and seems a bit confused about what's going on.
Chicken George decides to use the outdoor shower to shave in. It looks painful – it's cold water first of all, and the guy is just kind of blindly scraping his face willy-nilly. Thank goodness he got off the slop this week and isn't shaking like he does for comps. After his shower and shave, Georgie hits the hot tub.
James and Erika discuss what she would be doing if she were home right now. She'd be cooking breakfast (she doesn't say if she'd eat said breakfast, however), maybe playing golf because she's addicted to the game, and then some shopping and maybe watching a movie.
They all talk about when the next America's Choice will be, and Will starts in on a pretty funny imitation of Julie Chen. "The houseguests want to kill themselves! Vote to help them decide how to do it. Razor blades, sawed-off shotgun, vodka and barbiturates, or a VW Bug with a muffler hooked up and running in the bedroom!" Marcellas deadpans, "Looks like I'm dyin' in a VW Bug." Booger says that if the choices of party food for the houseguests were pizza or steaming piles of dog sh*t, some idiot with a website would vote thousands of times for the sh*t. I would not! I'm too busy watching the feeds.
The lockdown is over, but James and Erika stay outside to complain about the house, and to agree that someone from S6 has to go this week. James, honey, even though you jumped ship? You're still S6. Dumbass.
Inside, Will and Booger go up to the HoH room. They laugh about how they have an alliance with everyone in the house, and have to make sure that the other hamsters don't start talking to each other. Will says that he doesn't like how Erika has been upstairs with every HoH making suggestions about who to put up. Erika appears out of thin air, as she's apt to do, and the conversation abruptly stops. Booger whines that the show caters too much to the effing internet. Ha. If that were true, Booger would be hooked up to a machine that would zap him with electricity every time he caused flames, or wore something that looks like it came from a decade long, long ago. So pretty much all the time.
When Erika leaves, Will admits that he trusts Janelle more than Erika. Boog disagrees, of course. Will says that he had a little chat with Erika the night before, and told her that he could totally see her and Booger together, but if she's playing him just for the game, then that needs to stop. See, Will isn't completely heartless after all. Shh, don't tell anyone.
Now it's talk about when the finale is (they seem to think the 21st, but I'm pretty sure Survivor and The Amazing Race are starting the week before, so …), and what producers they want to talk to. Zzzzz.
Solitary confinement report: Danielle is back to wearing out a path on the carpet in her cage. James goes to the window and makes a letter with his hands that looks like a "K", and Dani nods to him. Not looking so good for Kay right now.
James complains to Georgie about the competitions and the food and the game, but George isn't taking the bait. He just says things like, "yeah, this game is brutal", and "they're testing you, how you handle problems in the house". But James just keeps right on fast-talking, not really hearing anything that George is saying. You know, I think if George won HoH James would be on the block faster than you could say "chicken".
Booger and Erika are hanging out in the backyard now, and Erika asks him where they should go to make out. He says "right here". And then they're talking about tennis. My brain hurts. Booger talks about his businesses, and how he hopes his partner knows that he's still serious about running them even though he's in the BB house all summer. Please, like doing All Stars wasn't a publicity push for you, Boog? There's some talk about Josh (Souza, Erika's ex) and how he supposedly left a letter on Booger's website or something. Sorry that's not more clear – Booger tends to go off on tangents and sometimes it's hard to keep up.
Solitary confinement report: Danielle is sitting on the floor now, jiggling her leg. Is that her stomach grumbling, or is there something weird going on outside the door?
James tells Booger about some reality TV event that he attended with Howie, Ivette, and a bunch of other stars from other shows. Apparently Howie wanted to bring his light saber onstage with him because he gets paid every time he's seen in public with it (oooh, I want that job!), but everyone told him no, they wouldn't stay if he brought the light saber out. I guess this story is supposed to make Howie look bad, but it only makes the rest of the people look like uptight spoiled brats. Just sayin'.
Booger leaves and James is now talking to Erika. He says that he feels pretty safe this week, and would be shocked if Julie told him he was going home. Erika tells him he's not going anywhere. Soothed, James starts yapping about how horrible the game is, how draining, how no one wants to be there. James? You're on the block. Ask for votes to evict you, and voila – problem solved.
Howie is out now and Booger is back. They talk about coming into the house, how they were nervous meeting everyone. Howie admits that he thought Booger was a handler at first. Hahaha! Boog again thinks that the show caters to the internet, because they didn't get to have music at their margarita party. I'll laugh my butt off if that margarita party doesn't even make the show, since it's such a big deal to Boog and Will. Of course it will air though, because of the Will/Janelle confab. But still.
Solitary confinement report: Erika goes into the house and stops by to check on Danielle. Dani seems to think she's getting out within the hour, but Erika tells her she thinks it'll be a couple of hours yet. Way to cheer her up Erika! Danielle says that she hasn't eaten or drank anything because she doesn't want to use the port-a-potty.
Erika comes outside with her razor, some shaving cream, and a bowl of water. It's leg-shaving time, but for some reason she's doing it outside, in front of Howie and Booger. No, wait, she's going to let Boog shave her legs for her. Ew! Why? Well, I guess we know why, but still. Ew! Howie is disappointed that he can't get in on the hot shaving action, and he offers to shave her "kitten" for her. Booger replies that they're trying to make good TV, not a porno.
Boog and Erika whisper a bit of strategy, with Booger asking who she wants out. She says "Kaysar", and Boog is surprised. He tries to push the Marcy angle (even though Will told him not to say anything to Erika about it), but she's not on board with that plan. Will Erika drive a wedge between Booger and Will? As the shaving goes on, Erika exclaims that she feels so pampered. She goes inside to change the water in her bowl and tells Howie on the way in that being shaved is sexy and she's turned on by it. The sad thing here is that it's Janelle who gets called a whore in this house.

Well, travelling home from work at 5.00pm today things were looking promising, lovely clear sky.
So, got in fed the dog etc and generally rushed around to get changed and get the scope set up. Polar alignment was a breeze, set the scope aimed at Capella and started tracking while I dashed back into change again, I'd bought some thermals just after xmas so wanted to try out the long sleeve vest (just like my grand father used to wear!).
Rushed back outside again and Capella was still in the centre of the FOV!
Then I noticed the clouds....managed to get a lovely view of the Pleiades with the 40mm EP (25x mag). Then the clouds were everywhere :o(
I only had an hour or so tonight free as I have to do some work after supper!
What a let down, will try to get out later if I get the time and if it clears up of course!

We've lost our mistletoe. Tis a Christmas disaster. The first year I have someone to kiss under the mistletoe, and it's gone. But don't fret. Next year, when I have my first white Christmas (weeeeeeee!!!), I can buy mistletoe in bulk and never. run. out. Ever.
It'll be the best Christmas ever.

Veteran ABC journalist and broadcaster Mark Colvin has died at the age of 65.
Colvin was the presenter of the ABC's flagship radio program PM from 1997.
Vale Mark Colvin. After a long battle with ill health, respected ABC journalist @Colvinius has died aged 65: https://t.co/JRUcvIviQypic.twitter.com/B4uyHQrnQ6— ABC News (@abcnews) May 11, 2017
The award-winning reporter has been battling a rare and chronic autoimmune disease, Wegeners Granulomatosis, which he contracted in Rwanda while covering the troubled nation's genocide in 1994.
In 2012, he received a kidney transplant and allowed the procedure to be filmed for television.
Colvin has been a strong advocate for organ donations, with many people on social media paying tribute by calling on the public to register as an organ donor.
He is survived by his wife Michele McKenzie, who he married in 1987, two sons and grandchildren.
ABC Managing Director Michelle Guthrie said the public broadcaster will "miss him enormously, and extend our thoughts to his family and friends".
"For many Australians, Mark's steady and measured voice as host of PM brought them the essential news of the day and kept them informed about events of national and international importance," she said in a statement.
Obituary: Mark Colvin, the man who watched the world for Australia https://t.co/JRUcvIviQypic.twitter.com/TS0SUWcyTx— ABC News (@abcnews) May 11, 2017
Colvin had worked at the ABC for more than forty years, having joined the broadcaster as a cadet in February 1974.
Just last year, he released a book titled 'Light and Shadow' about his work as a foreign correspondent covering some of the most dangerous flashpoints of recent history, including the end of the Cold War, the Tehran hostage crisis and the build up to the First Gulf War in Iraq.
His autobiographical book also details what it was like as a young man finding out that his diplomat father was really an MI6 spy.
Colvin, who was a well known music buff, also released a Spotify playlist of tunes, which he described as a "soundtrack" to accompany the book, featuring music greats The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.
If you're reading my book and want a soundtrack, try my massive Spotify playlist on shuffle https://t.co/E7hD6Vc9Kz— Mark Colvin (@Colvinius) November 15, 2016
Messages of tribute and support for his family and friends have poured out from the media sphere and beyond following the announcement of his death.
The ABC's Director of News Gavin Morris said Colvin's passing left "an unfillable void".
"Mark was one of Australia's finest journalists," Morris said in a statement.
"He was an important part of the ABC community as a mentor and teacher to young reporters and as a voice of wisdom and experience to many older ones.
"Our reporters and producers felt strengthened by his presence in the newsroom and emboldened by the sound of his voice on our airwaves."
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Colvin was "a gentleman of journalism", while Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull described his work as "elegant and erudite".
"In a world of superficiality, he was always informed and honest. We've lost a good man," Turnbull tweeted on Thursday afternoon.
Sydney Morning Herald investigative journalist Kate McClymont described him as "one of the giants of our profession".
ABC political journalist and commentator Julia Baird said Colvin possessed "a rare dignity" and "a deep love of his craft".
Mark Colvin had a rare dignity; a deep love of his craft, an intellectual intensity. He matched decency with depth and will be so missed.— Julia Baird (@bairdjulia) May 11, 2017
Host of the ABC program Home Delivery, Julia Zemiro, described Colvin's "curiosity" and "deep love and knowledge of music".
So deeply sad to hear of the death of Mark Colvin. A man of words and curiosity with a deep love and knowledge of music. A Titan.— Julia Zemiro (@julia_zemiro) May 11, 2017

More humor from A.E. Housman
The Latin author Lucan
When bitten by a toucan,
Exclaimed in anguish "O!
That bird must have been frantic
To cross the broad Atlantic
From distant Mexico,
And come to ancient Rome,
And bite me in my home,
And make me cry in anguish
And in the Latin language
- A.E. Housman, Miscellaneous Verses, Chiefly Educational

Makes me think of Chesterton, and this
And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years: to shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. ... the fourth day.

I got to play with the new Canon 70-200mm IS T2.8 L II for about ten minutes yesterday for a test with Hunter Kerhart. This is most defiantly an upgrade from the previous model. There is a noticeable difference when you first hold the lens; the edges of the rubber rings are smoother and less prone to damage. Both the zoom and focus barrel seem tighter and more responsive and the image stabilization is noticeably quieter than the older model. Overall it just felt better than my old 70-200, kind of like a pair of jeans that just fit more comfortably.

Apple Maps to Replace Google Maps
By admin June 11, 2012
Apple's acquisition of three mapping companies, Placebase, Poly9 and C3 over the last three years is about to bear fruit with the launch of Apple Maps (with the release of iOS6). With features like turn-by-turn directions, Siri Integration and 3D flyover (my favorite). More from Mashable

What: Shares of Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) were up 12% as of 11:00 a.m. EST Friday after the cloud networking solutions company reported strong fourth-quarter 2015 results.
So what: Quarterly revenue climbed 41.5% year over year to $245.4 million, well above the company's guidance provided last quarter for revenue between $238 million to $242 million. That translated to a 54.2% increase in adjusted net income to $57.5 million, and 50.9% growth in adjusted net income per diluted share to $0.80.
Analysts, on average, were anticipating adjusted net income of $0.61 per share, and revenue of $241.1 million.
Arista CEO Jayshree Ullal called his company's year "spectacular" before adding, "I have been pleased with the rapid acceptance by our customers of Arista's programmable cloud networking. The inevitable shift from legacy enterprises to cloud workloads has fueled Arista's strong performance of profitable revenue growth and increasing market share."
Now what: For the current quarter, Arista expects revenue between $232 million and $240 million, the midpoint of which represents 31.8% growth from the same year-ago period, and sits above Wall Street's consensus estimates for first-quarter 2016 revenue to grow 30.5% to $233.6 million. Meanwhile, Arista expects adjusted gross margin between 62% and 65% (compared to 63.6% in Q4, and 65.3% for all of 2015), and adjusted operating margin of 26% (compared to 29.1% in Q4, and 28.2% for all of 2015).
In the end, this is a fairly cut-and-dry case of Arista exceeding its own growth and profitability expectations, and those of Wall Street, then following up with strong guidance looking forward. Though shares of Arista Networks don't look exceedingly cheap at 44 times trailing 12-month earnings and 22.4 times this year's estimates, I still think that's a fair premium to pay given Arista's impressive top- and bottom-line growth.

200 words from LA
That's why I say, Thank god for the Beverly Center. I often go to the mall when I need to clear my head. Maybe it's Pavlovian, placing myself in the center of so many aimless walkers to recreate the calm in my head. I also love the excuse to just wander and window shop.
And then there's my dirty little secret, Z Gallery.
Unless you are Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Z Gallery is not your one-stop shop (it is odd how many people think feathers can "class up" a pillow or bath mat)
Look past the animal print lamp shades however, and you can find some great accessories (there is always a perfect house gift for around $20) This mirrored furniture has been all the rage over the past few, and this piece is a great example (for less than half of what La Brea shops are asking.)
After looking at the super subtle and quite similar palettes of the Crates and the Restorations and the Barns and the rest of the Mall's mainstay, it's nice to look at a little color , as my mother used to say. So don't tell anyone, but I say check out the Z Gallery. And hell, who am I to say not to live like a Gabor. Long live the florish!

Hope all is well!
I wanted to thank someone...just a little something and came up with the idea of giving her a face mask and the perfect way (for me) to wrap it up is in a paper bag....a cute stamp, crochet heart tag and a little washi tape.
Stamps could come in handy for gift wrapping and I decided to stamp the paper bag with the sweet sleeping fox from my Hello Friend stamp set.
I really didn't need to add the crochet heart...it would have looked just as cute with only the wash tape but I have a lot of crochet hearts lying around so why not. :)
I'm also send this sweet trio to someone who's expecting. I crocheted two wash clothes to go along this ADORABLE drooly bib which is handmade by the talented Zrinka of Owls and Co. Her sewing skills are amazing! Pop by her Etsy shop...I have my eye on one of her handmade dolls for Mia!
Hope you all have a lovely day!

The Poor Peoples's Campaign & The March for the Homeless
It seems most fitting to mark this year's celebration of Martin Luther King by announcing that there will be a Global March for the Homeless taking place on April 15th, 2015.
Martin Luther King's assassination took place just at the start of his Poor People's Campaign, which called for housing and guaranteed income for the very poorest people in the United States.In his words: "There is another America. This other America has a daily ugliness about it that transforms the buoyancy of hope into the fatigue of despair. In this other America, thousands and thousands of people, men in particular walk the streets in search for jobs that do not exist."
Our political and financial and cultural elite's collective response to those remarks? 'Sorry Mister King, you can talk about race, you can talk about war, but Good Good Almighty, you may not talk about the poor -- not in in our America!
'Here's what we'll do, Reverend. First we'll Martyr you, then Canonize you, and in time that will make everyone forget all this talk about the dreadful plight of poor people in America.'
Boy, did that work?!
When is the last time you heard a major political leader in America talk openly, not dismissively, about poverty and homeless in America. If you said never, you get an 'A'.
Since King made that speech, the federal government has slashed the housing budget by 74 percent, eroded public assistance and, if you take in consideration inflation, cut wages. King would be horrified to learn that today, every major city in the United States has thousands of men, women and children, wandering around with no place to call home.
So if our politicians don't even want to talk about poverty in America, let alone do something about it -- besides make it worse -- then let's stop banging on that beat drum.
By re-framing the issue of poverty and homelessness -- as Martin King was trying to do before his untimely death -- as moral agendas, as the civil and human rights issues of our time:
This will be the theme of our March and our unequivocal demand. Poverty and homelessness will no longer be negotiable items on the table for politicians to play with when they feel like it. As with other social issues that became human rights issues -- civil rights, woman rights, LGBT rights -- the politicians will get on board after the fact and try to appear as if they were righteous all along.
Fine, let them play their game, but let us not be fooled into thinking any of them will be leaders on this issue. There's going to have to be a worldwide grassroots movement to end poverty and homelessness. And it starts on April 15th, 2015.
Please join us!

Reigning over Lovetripper's couture countdown at number one, Kate Middleton's maritally-minded masterpiece was the most discussed I do dress of 2011, and will no doubt continue to be a topic among wedding watchers in the years to come.
A crowning achievement for designer Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, 58 gazar-and-organza-covered buttons fitted the future Queen in a timeless silhouette which was created from ivory and white satin gazar and included Cluny lace, Leavers lace from French lacemaker Sophie Hallette and shamrock, rose, daffodil and thistle lace motifs applied by the Royal School of Needlework.
To complete the elegant ensemble, a pair of Alexander McQueen shoes bore the bride to the altar, where the lights of Westminster Abbey danced on the diamonds on her Robinson Pelham earrings and Cartier Halo tiara, which was borrowed from Queen Elizabeth II.

Promotional video for our Terminal Emulator Software
Budjetti $1500-3000 USD
We'd like to create a ~1 min long video for our Terminal Emulator software: [url removed, login to view] Knowledge of terminal emulators, linux/UNIX, network administration, in general would be a huge plus and make creating the video much easier.
We'd like the video to look similar to this promo video of Bitbucket: [url removed, login to view] Obviously, this would be in style only, as our product and Bitbucket are two entirely different things.
We'd provide a general storyboard, script, and an idea of what kind of digital assets we'd like to see in the video. We're trying to avoid lower quality digital assets that we think seriously lowers the impact of a video. We'd like the option of having a few revisions if necessary, but are aware of the fact that unreasonable client demands are the bane of this industry. We'll try to be as reasonable as possible.
We'd like a turnaround of a month or less.

Quick Tip: Use a Spill Tray
Not only will a spill pan under your baking dish catch those stray drips and dribbles, but it will also make it easier to move awkward pans in and out of the oven. Not all of our baking dishes have handles, and trying to grab them with thick oven mitts can sometimes be troublesome. It's much easier to pick up and balance a whole tray instead!
We usually use a free cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment for our spill tray. The foil or parchment makes clean-up much easier! If you have one, lining the cookie sheet with a silpat is even better because it will keep the baking dish from slipping.
Now the only trick is actually remembering to use a spill pan. Very often, we seem to remember only after the pie drippings have become a burnt mess at the bottom of our oven!

To create a readership in your website , you need to give something good to your audience , something that gives values to them. There's a reason why you visit bbc.com , engadget.com or mashable.com , you visit bbc.com because they offer uptodate news about the world , you visit engadget because they have the top gadget news and mashable for social media news. So approach have they used to give value to their readers? Well, for me i think their consistency and their reward system has made their site grow so much.
So lets get straight to the point yea?
Giving Value to you Readers
Readers are basically the ones, who come to your site and if the like the article they will share it and if they dont like your articles for 3-4 times they might stop coming to your site. So what can you do so increase that 3-4 articles into 10-15 before they stop coming to your site?
Well try to start a loyalty reward system for your site, the one we are using is from punchtab so it acutally does is , it requires member to signup for the reward system and once he is signed up , every time the reader get 100 points for
- Visiting
- Sharing
- Commenting
- downloading
With these points reader can get a reward which you have to offer , this way its a win win situation for you and your reader. You get more visitors and and your site gets more comments making it look lively.
Your visitor gets it rewards doing this , we are giving bluehost hosting account or $100 in Paypal who ever reaches the required points. This is just an example but there's a lot you can do to attract reader just be creative.
Giving Value To Your Customers
You are a blogger and most probably you are affiliated with companies to monetize your website , well you get 1000 visitors on your affiliate page but hardly get clicks, ever wonder why? Well some people think that when they get directed they have to pay higher price because company will pay you the commission + their price , though it isn't like that.
So how you can give value to your customers? Well what you can do is write a small text next to your affiliate link for example: Amazon( use our link and get 50% discount). This way you have highly chance of getting clicks on your link or you can run a small affiliate program as we have done on our site for hosting deals
