How Can We Best Serve You?
Happy Tuesday from beautiful Montana. We woke this morning to a light dusting of snow that just set off the brilliance of the mountains against the dark colors of the evergreen forests.
Knowing that there are times in our day when we all need a little inspiration, I'm including a photo for you taken from my office this morning.
As it turns out, today was one of those days for me where I needed inspiration.
I started my day dealing with a lot of financial stuff- changing accounts over from one bank to another, changing our merchant account and just "stuff" like that. The bank was anything but cooperative. Why is it they're so much more eager to assist you when you want to give them money then when you want to close an account? After two hours I was still getting the runaround, with my merchant account rep at Wells Fargo telling me I had to close it with Merchant Services, and Merchant Services telling me I had to close it with the Wells Fargo rep. Frustrating.
I found myself in need of inspiration and turned to my Twitter family. I tweeted that I needed inspiration, which was quite backwards from my normal tweets. In fact, I think this is the only time I reached out looking for inspiration rather than providing it.
You were there, offering virtual hugs, recommending a cup of cocoa with whipped cream suggesting I call on my "bank angels", and making me smile. Thank you for that.
Your kindness made me think… are we giving you what you need? We built InspireMeToday.com to provide the best inspiration each day. As you know, each day we bring you 500 word of wisdom from an Inspirational Luminary. Additionally, you get my blog and my tweets. Once a week you get an interview from some amazing person. We have mastermind groups and mentoring programs available too.
We've intentionally kept the content on InspireMeToday.com FREE so that it's accessible to anyone, anytime, anywhere.
How is this working for you? How can we serve you better? What do you like and where can we improve?
Our plans for 2010 include making some of our mentoring products available through e-books, webinars, teleseminars and in-person weekend seminars. I'm happy to speak at your events throughout the world.
Additionally, you'll start to see inspired products featured on the bottom of your morning email from us and some select advertising on the site. In order to keep the content FREE for you, we need to get creative to generate income from other sources, in order to pay the bills.
Bottom line is this- we LOVE what we do. We're grateful to be your source for inspiration, encouragement and love. Thank you for allowing us into your home and into your heart.
I look forward to hearing back from you and listening to your suggestions on how we can serve you better. We all need a little inspiration and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your world.
With gratitude and hugs,

The countdown for the space shuttle Discovery's delayed launch began Wednesday, setting the stage for Utah Sen. Jake Garn's debut as an astronaut Friday when he and six crewmates rocket into orbit.
"The count is proceeding smoothly and on schedule," said space agency spokesman Steve Nesbitt. "The crew is spending time in their quarters today, mostly relaxing."
The countdown began on time at 2 a.m. and is scheduled to end at 8:04 a.m. Friday with Discovery's blastoff on a five-day mission to launch a pair of communications satellites.
Forecasters predicted acceptable conditions for launch with scattered clouds and only a 10 percent chance of rain.
Commander Karol Bobko, co-pilot Donald Williams and crew members Jeffrey Hoffman, David Griggs, Rhea Seddon, McDonnell Douglas engineer Charles Walker and Garn arrived at the Kennedy Space Center Tuesday to prepare for the flight.
Bobko and Williams spent Wednesday morning practicing shuttle landings in a special jet trainer. The other crew members took time off and several "did some jogging," Nesbitt said.
Garn will be aboard Discovery as a congressional observer to get a first- hand look at how the space agency operates the shuttle program.

There are many different paths to get off the beaten track.
These days a four-wheel drive - a genuine one that will get from the Bourke St to the Black Stump and back - has evolved well beyond the agricultural roots of the rough-and-tumble bush basher.
Last year's champion as Drive's Best four-wheel drive, the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, is perfect proof of that, as, despite its suburban-focused underpinnings, it ousted its bigger brother, the Grand Cherokee from the throne.
This year, however, the Cherokee Trailhawk faces some stiff competition in the form of two of the latest ute-based family wagons, the Ford Everest and Toyota Fortuner (both of which have been developed in Australia to handle the toughest conditions) and a luxurious, but no less capable, alternative in the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
Ultimately, it was the Everest that marched away with the victory, unanimously voted as the top pick by all six judges, not only on the strength of its off-road capability but equally matched with its well-sorted on-road manners.
Firstly, the Ranger-based seven-seater can almost go anywhere thanks to its meaty 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbo diesel that generates 132kW and 470Nm, the simplicity of its low-range four-wheel drive selector system and electronic driver aids. But also because it has been designed to go anywhere, with 225mm of ground clearance, 800mm wading depth and near benchmark approach and departure angles of 29.5 degrees and 25 degrees respectively.
The judges also recognised the Everest's 3000kg braked towing capacity as a strong point for those looking for a four-wheeled companion on outback adventures and its spacious cabin with well-laid ergonomics, modern presentation and flexible seating configuration.
But the Everest impressed more for the way it drove in everyday situations with comfortable suspension settings, secure handling and a class-leading suite of electronic safety systems that includes automated emergency braking, lane keeping assist and active cruise control
"It doesn't feel like a truck... which is a good thing," said one judge.
But the Everest isn't cheap. At $60,990 (plus on-road costs) for the mid-spec Trend, it's a lot of coin for a family-focused SUV and the judges weren't impressed that sat nav is still a $600 option. But it ticks plenty of boxes.
It was a tougher decision in the run for the final podium places, and it came down to one judge bucking the trend in favour of the Fortuner by marking the Discovery Sport down. Otherwise it would have been a split decision.
Like the Everest, the Fortuner places a priority on off-road capability thanks to its rugged HiLux-based underpinnings and strong 130kW/450Nm 2.8-litre four cylinder turbo diesel. It matches the Ford in the rough stuff, also has a 3000kg braked towing capacity, and - as one judge remarked - could be fixed by "almost every bush mechanic west of Oodnadatta, which is something you couldn't guarantee with the others."
But the Fortuner doesn't mask its HiLux heritage away from the mulga, as it isn't as comfortable on the road or around the suburbs because the suspension pitches under brakes, leans more heavily in the corners and generally doesn't feel as refined over bumps.
It also doesn't have the same level of safety systems, and its cabin isn't as well presented or as spacious in seven-seat configuration.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport, on the other hand, is full of electronic wizardry, its conventional underpinnings ensures it has a more car-like driving character on the road and, for the same money as the Everest, there's a more premium focus to its presentation.
Tested here in SD4 HSE specification, which starts from $61,100 (plus on-road costs), the judges praised the Discovery Sport for its on-road manners, with secure handling, well-weighted steering and decent ride comfort.
While its four-wheel drive system is smart, intuitive to use and ensures the Disco Sport will go further than most will ever need, what ultimately weighed it down was its lower towing capacity, less ground clearance and road-biased 19-inch alloy wheels.
The judges also noted the 140kW/420Nm 2.2-litre four cylinder turbo diesel, while offering a strong mid-range and good fuel economy, had a noticeable degree of turbo lag and was noisy under heavy acceleration and that the nine-speed automatic was a little clumsy in the way it changed gears on a light throttle. Land Rover's long list of expensive options was also highlighted.
But the Disco Sport is a nice way to cart the family with a smartly-presented cabin, comfortable seats and clever packaging that allows for an optional third row of seats (although even Land Rover admits they are best used only occasionally).
Which leaves the reigning champion, Jeep's Cherokee Trailhawk. At $47,500 (plus on-road costs), it is the most affordable contender here and, thanks to its trail-rated specific body work and low-range transmission, more capable off-road than most will ever need.
But, like the Disco Sport, it's better suited to weekend warriors rather than cross-country adventurers with a lower towing capacity, thirsty - yet punchy - 3.3-litre V6 petrol engine and the smaller rural service network.
It also has the highest maintenance costs over the first three years and the lowest forecasted retained value.
Around town though, the Cherokee is comfortable, has a spacious back seat, is chock full of conveniences and has a decent suite of safety hardware, including seven airbags and optional automated emergency braking.
But it is the Everest that is ascends to the pinnacle of our four-wheel drive class, ticking plenty of boxes along the way - no matter whether it's trudging through the bush, circumnavigating the country or traipsing around the urban jungle.

National Anticorruption Center (NAC) said about another arrest in the case of Moldasig in which is involved the chairman of the company's Board of Directors. At this time, officers of NAC and anticorruption prosecutors have detained database administrator of SA Registru-Corect - the register of shareholders and obligations of joint-stock companies.
He is suspected that, together with Moldasig representative committed a number of crimes - money laundering and fraud in a large scale through Registru-Corect.
We remind that the main suspect in this case was recently arrested by the National Anticorruption Center.
A woman is accused of that, together with other persons, she committed a number of crimes: fraud of shares of the CB «Moldova-Agroindbank» SA, and also money laundering in a large scale, as a result the damage of the company's shareholders is assessed at about 20 million lei.
According to preliminary data, the woman organized a scheme by which has despoiled a few MAIB shareholders and other persons of 17 189 shares.
To implement the plan she forged the power of attorney, which certificate the right of a third person to represent the interests of shareholders, de facto, without the consent of the last ones. Subsequently, the owner of the power of attorney, acting illegally on behalf of the shareholders, transferred the stock of shares to the accounts of an offshore company.
According to article 243 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova, money laundering is punishable by imprisonment up to 10 years.

Devilled Sausages
Devilled sausages was one of my favourite childhood meals, so I just HAD to try and vegan-ise it! This budget friendly recipe uses every-day ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, and not only takes about 20 minutes to prepare, but is super tasty. It's best served with some mashed potato, but you could also pair it nicely with rice, quinoa, or other grains.

Fans of Octonauts on Disney Junior will love embarking on underwater missions to learn about marine life will enjoy having the opportunity to act their adventures with new toys from Fisher Price.
This new line of toys that accompanies the popular allows kids to re-enact favorite missions by role playing with the eight underwater heroes that "explore, rescue and protect" the creatures of the sea. Whether exercising teamwork to problem solve in the Octopod Playset or exploring underwater worlds or helping ocean friends from the GUP-A Mission Vehicle, these new toys help reinforce learning, love for marine life, and are pure fun for Octonauts fans.
The Octopod Playset features two baskets to rescue creatures and an anchor that can be hoisted and lowered by pulley systems on both sides of the Octopod. Two slides on each side allow included explorer creatures to make it into the Octopod's command central.
The GUP-A Mission vehicle is a toy that is designed for use in the water and on land. An arm, hook, and net are included to aid in play rescue missions, a crank propeller, front hatch that can be raised up and down, and a completely removable back hatch.
If you're not familiar with Octonauts, the Disney Channel show features mission-based episodes that center around the daring rescue of a real aquatic creature while providing factual information about the animal's physical characteristics, behavioral traits and natural habitat. The crew explores new underwater worlds and saves the day before safely returning to their underwater home base, the Octopod.
According to Kurt Mueller, Executive Producer of Octonauts, the show introduces kids to fundamental scientific concepts, such the diversity of creatures, weather patterns, simple geography and mapping, ocean habitats and the physical and behavioral characteristics of ocean life. Kids can watch the show to expand their vocabulary. Mueller encourages kids to watch to learn "what symbiosis means, why Marine Iguanas sneeze salt, how Walruses socialize and where in the ocean you're more likely to encounter water spouts and whirlpools." Every episode illustrates what it means to be a good scientist and a good member of the community. Kids can see that it's fun to be a part of a team and that by working together, everyone can become a hero that strives to "explore, rescue, and protect" others, be it on land or at sea.

It's taken a while to find the words to write this blog post. It's been a hard week, reading the news, and thinking of the lows to which humanity has sunk. I've felt the awful ice-in-my-heart feeling of depression creeping in, gripping hold.
And suddenly, I got it.
I really, truly, without question, understood in my heart just what it is that makes people need religion so desperately. The pain of realizing that so much evil can exist is beyond the measure of words. It's for someone far greater skilled than I, to try to write just how crippling it is to face that reality. How much easier to think it's something otherworldly that creates evil; how much more comforting to think that something greater and more eternal awaits those so heinously wronged in life.
The fact is, saying "Smite me, ya bastard!" is easy. There is no shortage of mockery of religion and religious beliefs, on the Net and off. What I do see a shortage of, is comfort. Someone to go to, when humankind just thoroughly disgusts every fiber of one's being. Someone to lean on when the world just doesn't make sense. A soft place to land, as it were.
And I think that's the direction I want to take CMAA in. I just don't quite know how, from here.

'Autism Speaks' created this insightful and touching autism awareness campaign that teaches compassion and understanding around the early signs of autism. Directed largely toward parents, the creative stop-animation short puts viewers in the shoes of an autistic child.
The short follows the journey of a young boy who starts off travelling down a river and encounters different scenes that he is not comfortable with. Touching on a sensitivity to light and sounds, lack of eye contact and problems with speech -- the PSA does a good job at informing about the wide spectrum of autism without stereotyping.
Created in partnership with ad agency BBDO and the Ad Council, these TV spots were inspired by a real young boy with autism named Jacob. The shorts are a part of the 'Learn the Signs' autism awareness campaign that hopes to give parents and caregivers better information and resources.

AIGA Cased 2015 competition winners
AIGA's Cased competition recognizes creative and inspiring case studies that demonstrate the value of design in a clear, compelling, and accessible way that also serves the client's very specific needs. Rather than focus on a selection of design artifacts, AIGA believes that a competition built around the case study format offers a more effective means of revealing how designers have approached clients' problems, with all the attendant constraints. With this in mind, the 2015 Cased competition honors 15 exemplary case studies of design solutions that successfully demonstrate the value of design.
Statement from 2015 jury chair Jennifer Kinon
We've just concluded the fourth year of Cased, AIGA's new national design competition. It's hard work to enter. It's hard work to judge. Is it worth it?
Building the comprehensive national Design Archives is invaluable to our industry and there is no higher honor than being made part of our permanent and collective memory. AIGA is our professional association for design. It is an honor to do the work to make it great.
And this year's jury did the work. They were analytical, deliberate, and passionate about the outcome of this year's competition. The discussion started in early May 2014 and raged on until late September. Sara Frisk (ÄKTA, Chicago), Bryony Gomez-Palacio (UnderConsideration, Austin), Alia Hassan (Blue State Digital, New York City), Pum Lefebure (Design Army, Washingotn, D.C.), Alice Twemlow (Department of Design Research, Writing & Criticism, SVA, New York City), and Margaret Youngblood (independent consultant, San Francisco) modeled the behavior that has made each one of them a great design mind.
As we unpacked the idea of "design effectiveness," organic process quickly took precedence over pretense. So, rather than share abstract criteria, I'll share a direct quote from one of our jurors on how she evaluated the submissions:
"In reviewing each entry, I first review the brief, then the role and relationship of the designer, followed by the budget. Once I have that information I look at the project for completion of the brief, the target audience, the quality of the work, the allocation of the production budget, and the quality of the production. While I look for attention to detail, great use of design elements, design knowledge, typography, balance, etc, it's more important to see that the solution matches the problem and the people using it—with a good idea to carry it through."
"Simple" as that.
It has been my honor to serve as this year's chair. The newest entries to the national Design Archives not only have great craft, but are leading change beyond our industry.

Resurrection Sunday
Hello and thanks for stopping by. I wanted to take the time to encourage and lift up my family in Christ. With persecution and moral decay at an all-time high, we as Christians need to stand firm on the promise of God.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. John 11:25-26
Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:8-11
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. He is alive.
HE IS RISEN! Praise be to God. Thank you for the inspiration.
And for having a comment box this time! :-)
God Bless You Sister.
A good scriptural reminder in this Holy season.
Hi spiderpam, very beautifully written and awesome message ! Great videos to !
The Passover is the Christian New Year and this is our communion with Jesus on Resurrection Sunday. I love you Pammy. You are a precious sister in the Lord. Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family. I pray this new year finds you spiritually healthy and strong, full of fight so you have the strength to spit in the eye of the ol' lizard. I know you hon and I think you do and will because you are a woman of the Lord and He loves you even more than I do and that is saying alot.
I think this is a very strong and important message. I like how you supported it with all this material! Thanks so much for posting this! It's a proper message at the proper time! Voted up!

Memory lapse disrupted the commute this morning to BikemanforU's brick-and-mortar shop on eastern Long Island. Purple Haze, the commuter bike, was reliable, as usual. The cyclist, not so much.
Today's commute began with the regular 10-minute bike ride to the ferry for the trip across Long Island Sound between New London, CT, and Orient Point, NY.
After docking, the bike was wheeled off the boat to be loaded onto a pickup truck waiting in a nearby lot. The 1993 Ford Ranger makes up the last leg of the morning commute.
Without keys, however, the 45-minute drive is impossible.
Frantic hands searched every pocket to no avail. At least the cell phone made the trip.
"It was bound to happen. I left the truck keys at home!" an embarrassed cyclist blurted into the phone. BikemanforU laughed. The only remedy was to take the same ferry back to New London.
The boat trip back offered plenty of time to find a work-around. First thought was to keep an extra set in a magnetic case stuck on the Ford's undercarriage. But wait.
Better to commuterate this bike.
Spare truck keys kept inside a little bike bag would be a commuter's insurance against any future memory lapse or even loss, for that matter. An "emergency" bag would always stay with the bike. It could even hold allen keys, a few band aids, or other cycling necessities.
Obvious choices might be the small and large Bento Top Tube feed bags. Both rectangular sizes are perfect for gear, gadgets, and tools. The frame mount shoulder bag would work on a standard men's bike.
An expandable wedge , however, mounts under the saddle, which mean this bag will fit just about any bike, including step-through frames like Purple Haze.
If the ferry trip wasn't so long, an hour and 20 minutes each way, the cyclist could ride home, pick up the truck keys, and head back to work again.
Instead, she cycled home to telecommute in the cloud. But first, she made a vow to include a set of house keys in the commuter bike emergency bag.

New Delhi: The Election Commission on Wednesday
allotted broadcast and telecast time to political parties for
carrying out their election campaigns on Doordarshan and All
India Radio for the upcoming assembly elections in Uttar
Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur and Goa.
The Commission has decided to extend the said scheme of
equitable time sharing on electronic media through Prasar
Bharati Corporation and the use of broadcast and telecast time
will be available only to national parties and recognised
state parties in the upcoming polls.
This facility will be available from Regional Kendras of
the All India Radio and Doordarshan and in the headquarters of
Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur and Goa and
relayed by other stations within the respective States.
The EC has said that a base time of 45 minutes will be
given to each national party and recognized state party
(recognized in the respective state) uniformly on the Regional
Kendra of Doordarshan network and All India Radio network in
the poll-bound states.
National and state parties will be treated on par for
assembly elections and additional time to be allotted to
parties has been decided on the basis of poll performance of
parties in the last polls, the EC held.
No party will, however, be allocated more than 15 minutes
in a single session of broadcast. The period of broadcast and
telecast will be between the last date of filing the
nominations and will end two days before the date of poll in
the poll-bound states.
There will, however, be no telecast or broadcast during
the 48 hours preceding the close of polls as per specific
provisions of the Representation of People Act, 1951.
The Prasar Bharati Corporation in consultation with the
Commission will decide the actual date and time for broadcast
and telecast. This will be subject to the broad technical
constraints governing the actual time of transmission
available with the Doordarshan and All India Radio.
The parties will be required to submit transcripts and
recording in advance. The parties can get this recorded at
their own cost in studios, which meet the technical standards
prescribed by the Prasar Bharati Corporation or at the
Doordarshan/All India Radio Kendras, the EC held.
In addition to the broadcast by parties, the EC held that
Prasar Bharati will organise a maximum of two panel
discussions and/or debates on the Kendra/Station of
Doordarshan/All India Radio and each eligible party can
nominate one representative to such a programme.
The Election Commission of India will approve the names of
coordinators for such panel discussions and debates in
consultation with the Prasar Bharati Corporation.
Time Vouchers will be available in the denomination of 1
to 5 minutes with one voucher having time allotment from 1 to
4 minutes and the parties will be free to combine them
Based upon the Commission?s order of December 27, 2011,
time would be allotted on Doordarshan and All India Radio for
broadcast for recognized parties in Uttarakhand.
The time for "Uttrakahand Kranti Dal" (UKD) as per the
existing policy, shall now be divided equally between the
"Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (P)" and "Jantantrik Uttarakhand
Kranti Dal" for the ensuing general election to the
Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly, the EC said.
The initiative for state funding of recognized political
parties through free use of state-owned Television and Radio
was introduced under directions of the Commission during the
1998 general elections, which was subsequently extended in all
general elections to state assemblies.
With amendments to the Representation of People Act, 1951
vide "Election and Other Related Laws (Amendment) Act, 2003"
and the rules notified thereunder, equitable time sharing for
campaigning by recognized political parties on electronic
media now has statutory basis, the EC said.

Beverages that are used to deliver protein are typically aimed at a very specific type of consumer—but For Goodness Shakes' new Protein Water appeals to more than just people who are invested in personal fitness.
The low-calorie Protein Water beverages in Blackcurrant and Orange & Mango flavors are loaded with 20 grams of protein from Whey Protein Isolate, which is known as one of the most easily absorbed forms of protein available. Unlike many protein shakes, this one delivers a pure source of protein without any additional sugars or fats. These protein-rich beverages are best consumed a short time before a workout, although they could also be consumed throughout the day to support a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Alongside its all-new assortment of hydrating Protein Water supplement beverages, For Goodness Shakes also introduced Protein Coconut Water drinks.

Stories from the Innocence Project
Innocence Project- Many of you will have heard about the Innocence Project. Many of you haven't. The Innocence Project is about getting people that have been wrongly imprisoned released and exonerated. The project has been so successful in its roll out in the United States it is now formed a similar project here at Griffith University in Queensland Australia. Did you know DNA testing has exonerated 266 innocent people in the United States, including 17 who were on death row.
Law lecturer and Innocence Project at Griffith Unversity Brisbane director Lynne Weathered will represent the Australian legal community in the USA at the first major international conference on wrongful convictions, to be held April 7-11.
Nobody knows how many more innocent people remain behind bars in so many countries, or how many people were convicted this week, this month or this year of crimes they didn't commit based on unreliable forensic science or eyewitness mis-identification.
The Innocence Project provides pro-bono post-conviction legal assistance to individuals that are seeking to prove their innocence with DNA testing and works to enact the reforms needed to protect innocent Americans from wrongful prosecution and incarceration.
With your support, the Innocence Project is fighting to overturn wrongful convictions and enacting reforms across the country based on the lessons of their work.
Last month a Texas man was declared innocent after spending 30 years behind bars. Cornelius Dupree was exonerated after serving most of his life in prison for a 1979 rape and robbery he did not commit. DNA testing obtained by a group called the Innocence Project proved he was innocent.
I recently made a commitment to help raise money for the Innocence Project to help exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals like Cornelius. My goal is to raise $1000 by June 2011 and I hope you will consider donating through my page HERE to help this incredible organization.
The Innocence Project helps people like Marvin Anderson--an innocent man who served 15 years in prison in Virginia for a crime he did not commit.
The Innocence Project is a national non-profit organization that uses DNA to help free innocent people from prison. To date, 266 people in the United States have been exonerated by DNA testing, including 17 who served time on death row. These people served an average of 13 years in prison before exoneration and release.
In a comprehensive study of capital cases conducted. b asks whether the mistakes and miscarriages of justice known to have been made in individual capital case are isolated, or common? The answer provided by our study of 5,760 capital sentences and 4,578 appeals is that serious error—error substantially undermining the reliability of capital verdicts— has reached epidemic proportions throughout our death penalty system. More than two out of every three capital judgments reviewed by the courts during the 23-year study period were found to be seriously flawed.
"Freedom is something that can be taken for granted. Until it is taken away".
- Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter
HI Barry, Just wondering how you went with your attempt to raise the $1000 by end of June 2011. I also had not heard of the Innocence Project. thanks for bringing this to "our" attention. Cheers Dags the Drover
Thank you for writing about this topic. I had no knowledge of it... what a blessing for those innocent people. Good job.
Dearest Barry,
It is appalling and "unthinkable" here in the U.S. that we convict so may innocent people without simple DNA testing! Worse yet is how many we have already executed - murdered - in the "name of justice!"
One of the problems is how "unthinkable" a subject this is! We delude ourselves into thinking our justice system works, is fair and that the truth will ultimately prevail!
This must happen all around the world! Glad to hear Queensland is being proactive as well!
The underlying assumption is that independent, logical and critical "thinking" is taking place! What often trumps this crucial piece of the equation is a pre-determined mind-set! One incorrect "eye witness" can influence a host of others and turn the tide toward guilty!
Thank you for bringing this really important, life and death important, topic to the forefront! And for helping raise money for the Innocent Project!
Blessings to you! EarthAngel!
Very important subject. So glad that you've brought this into the awareness of the community.

For a platform that is not really known for its file management tools, iOS offers a few pretty good apps of that genre. Of course, the most famous of them is iFile, but not everyone owns a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, and most of the times, you just need something very basic for your everyday needs. AMMO Rack just might be the most uncomplicated file management tool available for iOS. For one, the app only deals with two of the most commonly used file formats; PDF and photos. Other than that, transferring files to AMMO Rack is really easy, and you can import files from Dropbox, the app's own cloud service, your device's camera roll or via iTunes. Not only does AMMO Rack let you arrange everything really neatly, it is also possible to make a few handy changes to the files. You can add annotations, scribble new notes and rename any file with complete ease.
The thing that makes AMMO Rack so neat is its saving of files in an interface that is just like a bookshelf. There are a few shelves already present in the app, but you can get rid of them, or add more from the Settings menu within AMMO Rack. The Manage your shelves option allows the app's users to rearrange a shelf, or create as many new ones as they want. From the same menu, you get to link your Dropbox and AMMO Rack Cloud accounts with the app. You will have to sign up for the app's own cloud account from the AMMO service's website. To add a new document to any of your shelves, just swipe across it to the right, and hit the '+' button that shows up. The arrow button will collapse the shelf.

Whenever I wear 5 inch heels at my office, I get an abundance of looks and the occasional inquiry, "How do you walk in those?" Of course my initial response is "Very well, thank you." The last thing I want anyone to know is how hard I concentrate on not tripping while teetering around. I make it look effortless and completely second-nature, that is until my heel gets caught on something. Perhaps a better question would be to ask, "Why?" Why do I perform a balancing act just to walk around in heels higher than a hotel in Dubai? The simplest answer is… because I can.
We've already touched upon how heels empower us to feel confident, sexy, in control, but they also project those same things to others. The red sole of a Louboutin instantly clues an observer to what kind of woman the wearer is, or the woman who wears a chunky heel versus the women in the stiletto. Shoes have a culture all their own: as a status symbol, power trip, sign of maturity, etc… The list is endless.
When I was a child, every year around this time my father's company would host their annual Christmas party; and, as tradition dictated (not to mention multiple growth spurts) I got a new dress with shoes to match. For me the dress was always inconsequential, in fact I can barely remember any of them. BUT THE SHOES. I remember, when I was 8, it was the 1st year my mother let me wear party shoes with a heel without straps. A shoe with a heel without straps was the equivalent of being given the keys to a new car. They were the height of maturity. It meant I was now old enough to wear heels that didn't require extra bits to keep them on my feet. I was officially a little lady. Of course, now I love Mary Janes and am very grateful for that strap, but the symbol has stuck with me as has the memory of those 1st pair of heels. (Did I mention they were 1 1/2 inches high? very glamorous for an 8-year-old)
Even in broader sense, shoes have come to be a dividing line between classes. When depicting destitution, an image of a barefoot child is invariably used. The absence of shoes tells us as much their presence. If i were to ask anyone on the street to describe Oliver from beginning of Olivier Twist, undoubtedly, most, if not all, would say barefoot. ON the flip side, if asked to describe the Artful Dodger, barefoot wouldn't even be mentioned. Why? Because Dodger sees himself as a gentleman, and a gentleman wears shoes.
When present shoes can be a deciding factor, if subconsciously, in our opinions of others. Female politicians are judged upon their shoes. They have to be able to find a pair that doesn't make them look too wealthy, too sexy, or too masculine, AND they have to have a heel. It can be just 2 inches, but it has to be there. Beyond the shoe itself, heel height is the source of femininity and power.
Feminist have argued that stilettos are a form of female subjugation and trivialize women as mere sex symbols. Perhaps that has become true, but it is historically inaccurate. Heels were created by men for men. They displayed poise and balance while showing off calf musculature (remember hose was originally worn by men as something to be seen not hidden under a skirt). Henry VIII was noted in fact for being very proud and vain regarding his legs and regularly wore heeled shoes to present them to their best advantage. Given that pedigree is it really so unusual that in the age of micominis, women would want to give every lift they could to their gams? The high heel, while now considered more of a feminine attribute, still displays the wearer as poised and balanced. AND, if she is very good, graceful. So a female politician, CEO, etc… must wear a shoe with a heel because not only are they in charge, but they do all that a man is doing but in heels.
Which brings me back to why I wear skyscraper heels… Because I can, and I walk in the very well, thank you.

NHL: Where Did All These Fans Come From?June 17, 2009
For years now, the NHL has been fighting to get their ratings higher than their typical poor performances. Not only was this Stanley Cup Final one of the most exciting in league history, the ratings for the final were the highest since the 1970's.
Since the 1970's! Do I have that right? Unfortunately for the NHL, I do.
Think about this: who do we see on America's sports commercials and magazine articles? Derek Jeter? Tom Brady? Shaqenstein?
Rarely, if ever, do you see an NHL player being advertised. So you ask yourself, why? Why doesn't the NHL take more steps towards advertising their league through their most standout players?
What does the NHL need to do? Get the word out and brag about their league more. All it takes is one more commercial, one more article in Sports Illustrated. Oh, and one more thing: get your games back on ESPN!
Not taking anything away from Versus, but ESPN is usually the first channel men turn on when they sit down to watch TV.
The steps seem quite simple, but why doesn't the NHL follow them? If you can't advertise your league, you shouldn't be in charge of advertising. And if the commissioner doesn't realize this, then he should be relieved of his duties.
An underdog team winning the Cup is the best thing to happen to the NHL in years. Let this be a lesson to the "men in charge." You do have fans out there, so reach out to them like the NFL, MLB, and NBA does.
Have pride in your fans, and they'll have pride in you.

Opinions of Sunday, 1 January 2012
Columnist: Atakora, Kwame
As I traveled across Ghana, I saw so many things that made me wonder if those who are leading us have been cursed or they simply have lost their bearings. I was not impressed with anything I saw and you know why: gutters are open in the middle of the cities infested with mosquitoes and you name it, 95% of trotro and taxis I saw and rode were unsafe, market places are so filthy, there is dust in your face, and you basically have to pay a bribe to enjoy any government services.
I visited about twenty JSS schools and saw too many things that made me angry, if we are going to have a strong economy, develop our nation to be competitive then, simple things like functional clean bathrooms and proper recreational facilities will be an investment that will pay off one day. The ministry of education needs to be re-organized the way it does business so the kids will feel they are respected and will pass that on. We must remember that the investment we make today in their education will surely become an asset for them and the nation to enjoy. Our behavior and attitude towards the kids, yes our future leaders should be the one of care respect and dignity. If we can't afford a library on the schools compound what about functional toilet facilities?
It is so sad that simple things have become a mystery for our leaders. There is nothing I have mentioned here that is not known to those who are in charge in various governmental agencies. I am not trying to blame the government for everything but simply saying something is seriously wrong here. Do we know what we are losing if we fail to provide for that girl or boy in that school? Let's do something that will make the whole world see us as a serious nation ready to build sound fundamentals to move our nation forward. I think people are getting tired of the old shoddy way of doing things.
Ghanaians are being short changed and we can't allow others always eating our lunch. I think the time has come for us to ask the right questions; what about gender bias, requiring the girls to cut their hair. I have talked to thousands of them and I don't think it's fair we treat them that way. I think it is wrong for the government to require the girls to cut their hair. I respect teachers but subjecting a student to shave their hair simply because of her gender is not only bizarre but detrimental to her development. The sad, disturbing and discriminatory part is, you get to keep your hair if your parents can afford to enroll you in an "international school". I thought every child in our country was protected by our constitution. I am ready to debate anyone anywhere about this issue; I think someone must speak for the voiceless.
The direction of our country is heading on a wrong path. There is so much injustice, inequality, and habitual corruption. We have a failed system with policies run amok. There is no civility in our politics. We must change the brand and embark on pro growth policies. Ghana is being run by robbers and hijackers. What we are witnessing in Ghana is political gangsterism, but the unfortunate truth is, the casualties who bear the brunt of the assault are always the poor, and that breaks my heart. Our country is being pimped by those with political powers, but this cannot go on forever, something has to happen and something has to be done, yes there must be a new order, new thinking and the time is now. The true spirit of Ghana must come alive.

What the world needs now is Instant Karma that comes in a cheap glass container with a free mug shrink-wrapped to a cardboard carton that contains both free gift mug and bottle of blunt powdered consequences. Just like Nescafe', which, as Salahadin tells me, is advertised in
When Linus mentions Jabu Shabia, the old Palestinian socialist party, Yosef replies: "In the past we needed Jabu Shabia. Now maybe we need Islamic Jihad." But what we really need is Instant Karma.
Instant Karma: it's better than Islamic Jihad, Al Qaeda, the Israeli Occupation Force, and the Republican party all rolled into one. As soon as you finish a cup, you immediately experience the full and complete consequences of all your actions.
It will be incredibly popular, since everyone is certain that their own hands are clean and they are right. A global advertising campaign can be arranged via satellite TV, internet, billboards, and newspapers. Like Nescafe' and Coca Cola, Instant Karma will be equally popular with rich and poor, Arab and American, Buddhist and atheist.So you want to know exactly where you stand on the divine scale of judgment, exactly how your actions balance between absolute Good and absolute Evil? Try a refreshing cup of Instant Karma. No longer shall you bite your nails from guilt or neurosis. All shall be revealed. Only 10 cents a cup when you buy the one pound can, or one dollar made hot for you and served in a plastic cup at your local convenience store.

They aren't perfect, but they are my attempt at the world of virtual cards. These are the Celebrity Rookie Cards.
Back in 1970, the Nationals were still the Expos. Dick Cheney made his political debut in 1969, but his Nationals debut much later (after they had morphed from the Expos). Make sense? It doesn't really matter. He's no threat to Strasburg, but Cheney does deserve a Celebrity Rookie Card. It is a bit off center, in keeping with cards of that era.
Bill Paxton is another member of the Celebrity Dodgers. I'm not trying to start any trouble, but it looks like he stole Tommy Paciorek's old jersey. Maybe Paxton figured he'd blend in with all of those great outfielders the Dodgers had back then.

Trail Cameras Catch Wild Life on Ranch

CCTV footage captured these animals drinking from a pool on a Ranch in French Gulch, California.
At the start of the clip, a pack of mountain lions repeatedly approached the pool before drinking from it. In the second half of the clip, two clever bears broke the thin ice to get the water.
