If you're anything like me, you'll have left your Christmas party outfit until the last minute! Fear not, I have the perfect solutions for you at bargain prices! I had an email yesterday informing me that they have an exclusive event online - 36% off everything for 36 hours! If you need to sort out an outfit or just fancy stocking up for future events, I've put together 3 different outfits to suit most tastes. Or if something doesn't tickle your fancy, there's plenty of other awesome items over on the website for you to drool over!
The most expensive outfit of the 3 but just look at it! Being a petite girl myself I wanted to throw in a petite option. This is for the sassy, statement girl who isn't afraid of a sequin or two. The dress is stunning, nothing beats a sequin dress for the festive period. The shoes pair perfectly, still reflecting the theme of the dress but toning down everywhere else with a hint of gold to match the very simple clutch to finish it off. The great thing about this outfit is that it speaks for itself and therefore you don't need to add jewellery at all which will save you some money! I think this dress would look stunning with a messy up do and bold red lips with winged liner and false lashes.
This outfit is for the not so dressy girl. A dress and sequins isn't everyone's cup of tea but you can still look uber stylish and chic never the less. I've teamed this very simple but edgy cobalt blue tee with leather detail with this very on trend skort. Shorts are a great dressy alternative if you're not a dress or skirt kinda girl. I've gone for dressier accessories but still nothing super blingy. These shoes are the die for, I picked them up myself a couple of weeks ago and have not stopped wearing them, the heel detail is stunning. The bag is really simple but has elements of the rest of the outfit and brings it all together. Team with a super sleek ponytail, lots of blue eye liner and cobalt glitter polish.
Dare to wear white with this beautiful ensemble. This simple but stunning dress is not for the faint hearted as it's super fitted. A bodycon is a perfect dress for any Christmas occasion whether it's a meal or drinks or a whole night out. The clutch and shoes are absolutely beautiful and definitely make the outfit far more dressy, they can also be swapped to use with multiple other styles and colours of dresses. This outfit requires a killer tan, so if you're not blessed with naturally sun kissed skin, get your mitts on a good fake tan. Team with big glamorous curls and dramatic white and silver eye make-up, think lots of glitter! Keeping the lips nude and the nails white and glittery too!
Head over to the website before midnight and grab yourself a killer Christmas outfit or some last minute Christmas presents. You can't go wrong with 36% off everything!

Patrice Radden Leaves Red Bull for Califia
Red Bull's longtime director of corporate communications Patrice Radden left the post she held since 2002 this summer, making the jump to Califia Farms in July. In her new post, Radden serves as the vice president of communications for the company, which markets a variety of coffee, juice and dairy-free milk products.
At Red Bull, Radden helped to build the brand's U.S. media reach, leading marketing efforts across multiple platforms. In 2016, she took the title of senior director of activations and communications, which she held until her departure in July.
Radden was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.
Soylent's Executive Shakeup Continues
Following the departure of co-founder and chief technology officer John Coogan this summer, Rosa Foods, maker of Soylent, announced Wednesday that Charath Ranganathan has joined the company with the new title of vice president of technology.
Ranganathan will lead the Soylent's direct e-commerce business, which paved the path to the brand's early success with consumer subscription programs, in addition to handling IT management, securities policies, and other tech related responsibilities.
Ranganathan's previous experience includes time in both the beverage and technology sectors. He most recently served as the vice president of product development at e-commerce wine startup DRINKS, and prior to that was vice president of engineering at Playtika Santa Monica.
"Soylent is an outstanding company, and I am thrilled to join the team at such an important and exciting time in its history," said Ranganathan in a press release. "The team is working on solutions to some of the world's most complex issues regarding food insecurity and sustainability, and I look forward to playing a key role as we work to meet the needs of the community we serve."
Ranganathan officially joins the Soylent team only a week after the company announced the addition of Melody Conner in the newly created position of vice president of sales. Conner's previously served as executive vice president of DRY Soda Co. where she developed North America growth strategies, helping to quadruple revenue for the Washington-based craft soda maker in just under three years.
Conner was also an early member of the CytoSport sales team, where she helped build the nascent Muscle Milk brand to $450 million in sales.
"We are embarking on an aggressive mission to provide better and more sustainable nutrition, and we needed a growth-minded and creative sales executive that shared our core values to help us bring our brand to stores across North America," said Soylent President Bryan Crowley in a press release. "Melody is a consummate sales executive who has the led the charge on exceptional brands throughout her esteemed career, and we are thrilled to have her on the team."
Amy's Kitchen President Joins Lavit Board
Xavier Unkovic, president of Amy's Kitchen and former Mars Drinks Global president, has joined the board of directors of Lavit, LLC, which has developed a disruptive water cooler in an effort to challenge the bottling industry.
Currently focused on on-premise sales, Lavit uses recyclable pods to produce flavored still and sparkling waters instantly. Lavit's board also includes former Keurig head of sales and marketing Chris Stevens.
"Lavit is the real deal in the cold single-serve beverage space," said Unkovic in a press release. "I welcomed this Board appointment because the company has only scratched the surface of its potential. I look forward to collaborating with Lavit management and supporting the company's development and planning efforts."

With Richard Newton's abrupt passing (1951–2007) from pancreatic cancer, we lost a dear friend and a beacon of optimism. As I look back on the 25 years that I knew him closely, I now see how Rich matured from a focus on technology for technology's sake to something much greater-a love of technology for its positive impact on people's lives.
Although Richard's fascination with technology goes all the way back to his youth, it soared when he moved from the University of Melbourne to the University of California, Berkeley, in 1975. He immediately found an intellectual home in Don Pederson's group, and the timing was fortunate. The Spice circuit simulator was spreading to industry, and managing this growth was the perfect opportunity for Rich. He put in place a maintenance and release process and rolled releases off the Berkeley presses like clockwork. Today, Spice is still a cornerstone of modern circuit design.
Rich's drive and skills did not go unnoticed, and he was hired onto the faculty immediately after graduation. Guided by Don, he built an industrial liaison program that rotated industry visitors, took input (and copious funding) from corporate sponsors, and delivered a broad set of industrial-strength electronic design automation (EDA) software for real chip design. This collaborative approach would remain a hallmark of Rich's style. Invariably, he would be the catalyst in assembling the right ideas at the right time, proposing a bold plan, aligning funding, and motivating outstanding people to succeed at the impossible.
A highlight of this phase was Rich's intense collaboration with Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, and later Bob Brayton. Critical mass was achieved, and the Berkeley machine roared into action. Whereas Alberto and Bob brought analytical sophistication and rigor to the mix, Rich provided vision, motivation, and organizational energy.
A stellar teacher and a magnetic motivator, Rich is remembered by many of his students as the person who changed their lives. Asked two decades later what he was most proud of, Rich answered, "my students." It's no surprise that in 1987 he received the C. Holmes McDonald Outstanding Young Professor Award.
Through his students, the entrepreneurial phase of Rich's life took form. Jim Solomon, a design manager at National Semiconductor, had voiced reluctance to use marginally supported university software. Rich had a solution: He talked Jim into forming a company with some of Rich's top students, using a uniform data representation with well-controlled access routines implemented on emerging Unix workstations. This collaboration led to the formation of Solomon Design Automation (SDA), which, through its 1987 merger with ECAD, ultimately became Cadence.
Rich had his own style when tackling a new problem: "There's got to be a better way" always initiated intense brainstorming. His fearless "We can do that!" signaled that a bold idea was coming into focus. Then his contagious conviction and energy drove inescapably to action.
After the promising beginnings of SDA, Rich kept looking for "the next big thing." He found it in logic synthesis. In 1983, Rich and Don visited General Electric, where Rich first realized synthesis' potential. Further encouraged by research at IBM and AT&T, Rich became an active missionary for synthesis.
When Synopsys was formed in 1986, Rich and Alberto were staunch supporters. Only many years later did I fully appreciate how catalytic Rich was in that fragile formation stage. As a board member, all the way through his final meeting last year, Rich always added a unique voice. With a sparkle of mischief in his eyes, he would move with great enthusiasm and alarming speed from one idea to the next, while the rest of us were still toiling away in tedious implementation. Today his fingerprints remain visible all over Synopsys' DNA.
Although Synopsys and Cadence are the most visible examples, many other companies were influenced by Rich as well. He was active in Viewlogic, Pie, Redwood, Simplex, Tensilica, Windriver, Sonics, Lightspeed, and the Mayfield Venture Fund, and even for a while was CEO of Silicon Light Machines. For his tremendous impact, Rich received the 2003 Kaufman Award, the "Nobel Prize of EDA."
By the end of the nineties, though, Rich had become intellectually restless. After a short period as chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley, he became Dean of Engineering in 2000. This was the platform that Rich had been seeking, and he began the most fruitful phase of his life.
Suddenly all his skills, experience, and spiritual beliefs aligned on his new mission: technology for the betterment of society. At breakneck speed, he created a bold plan, raised funds, and convinced colleagues and administration to proceed.
The results are inspiring. Today, on the UC Berkeley campus, the building is rising that will host the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (Citris). University researchers and industry partners are developing IT solutions to large-scale problems facing our society, including the environment, services to the third world, health care, emergency preparedness, and education. In Rich's own words: "We really are a global community; not just businesses, not just technology; we are one family. If you believe that people are a net positive, and I do, then technology can and must be used in the interest of society."
"We really are a global community; not just businesses, not just technology; we are one family. If you believe that people are a net positive, and I do, then technology can and must be used in the interest of society."-A. Richard Newton
Rich's recent activities centered on the Berkeley Center for Synthetic Biology, a new discipline in which genes, proteins, and cells are joined together to build living systems. Already, projects are underway to convert bacteria into antimalaria treatments at a fraction of current costs. Rich's passion for this center was so great that in his last days he requested that others support this work. Our gifts will endow a fund in his name to realize the potential of his vision ( https://egiving.berkeley.edu/egiving/mainform.asp).
The arc of Richard's life brought him exactly where he needed to be, as everything he had worked on and believed in came together. In these last years, I saw him happier than ever as a focus on humanity became central to his technology mission. To me, Rich's greatest strength was his relentless optimism and ability to search for the positive in every situation. This applied to faculty, friends, and family alike. For the Kaufman Award in 2003, I asked his wife, Petra, to characterize his essence for me. She stated simply: "Rich has a big heart." I can add nothing more to that.

Mercedes Benz G-Wagen Sahara Desert Adventure - Sahara SojournPosted in Events on February 1, 2005
With big skies, foreboding climates and vast horizons, the Sahara Desert is one of the most inhospitable frontiers to the outdoorsman. To conquer it in four-wheel drive, one needs a vehicle with the very best engineering-so it was not surprising that my fourth trip to the Sahara, encompassing 100,000 total miles of desert overlanding, should see me here with a solid, unpretentious, very functional Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen-in this case a basic Type 461 with selectable 4WD.
The clinchers were the G-Wagen's engineering standards, the down-to-earth specifications, and, very specifically (a want born of many years' of desert experience) the seemingly unique designed-in ability to let you shift easily from low- to high-range gears on the fly. This is a life-saver when, in deep sand, you cannot step off in high-range and dare not stop to shift into it after a low-range start. (Land Rover's new LR3 offers a similar feature.)
The G-Wagen also comes with no-nonsense, manually engaged, mechanical locking differentials back and front-a vital part of the package. I waited a fair hunk of 1999 while the vehicle was built, and on my second trip to Munich took delivery; one of the last righthand drives and one of the last Kastenwagens (van bodies). Tongue in cheek, I relished the derogatory UK "white van" label since nothing, with a Sahara-load of fuel and water cans in mind, could have been more suited to my needs. The rock-of-ages 2.9L five-cylinder Type 602 turbodiesel (non-common-rail) was teamed, without the option, to a four-speed Mercedes automatic transmission while a heavy-duty rear axle and suspension pushed max GVWR to 7,000 pounds. My hesitant but untried (after all these years) attraction to automatic transmissions for really demanding off-road going would be put to the long-term serious test at last.
5PhotosView Slideshow
On a previous Sahara trip, the drive-by-wire throttle failure light came on five days from the nearest telephone. The handbook seemed written for eight-year-olds, so I needed that phone-which, portable and hooked into the Thuraya satellite, I now carry with me. I was to discover later that when the throttle ECU thinks there is a problem, it automatically engages "limp-home" mode, which limits power to 50 percent in most cases.
The cause turned out to be a random and intermittent harness short-circuit. The short blew a fuse every now and then, which the ECU interpreted as component failure and caused it, as programmed, to go into save-the-engine partial shut-down mode. So my cautious reception to electronic throttles was provisionally put on hold; there was nothing wrong with the drive-by-wire system at all.
Despite the slightly scary security situation in the area I wanted to visit (e.g., extremists, kidnappers, hijackers, bandits and all-round baddies), my most recent trip was a calculated and (for me) acceptable risk. The most movingly beautiful landscapes in the Sahara again had me under their spell, and OTP sectors up to 620 miles-no people, no gas stations, no other vehicles, and often no tracks-were turning in up to 25 mpg, so the carefully planned logistics were OK.
The automatic transmission was a joy to experience, invariably using fewer rpm than would have on a manual, tirelessly making imperceptible changes to keep the tide of torque flowing in those deteriorating soft-sand conditions when you most need it.
The desert ran its full gamut of mood swings: Hot and hostile in the middle of the day; early morning and late afternoon electrifyingly beautiful with low sun angles yielding rich colors; and cross-lighting and side-shadows that punched a dramatic third dimension into the landscape. Nights were of absurdly bright moonlight or diamond-bright stars, the constellation of Orion sliding sideways into the eastern horizon on my left as I wriggled into my sleeping bag and its elevation over the sky giving me a reliable time check.
On the day it stormed strong enough for the sand to pit the windshield lightly, visibility varied from half a mile down to 100 yards. With 80 miles to go to the next waypoint, the thin weaving skein of old tire tracks long since vanished and a gray threatening overcast covering the stony plain, two Touareg on camels (desert nomads, not Volkswagens) materialized out of the dust, battling into the wind. Our exchange of greetings was carried away in the gale, and the camels plodded on unconcerned. Much later, with sunset fast approaching, the log entry at last read, "1,639 hrs. Miles: 30,160, OAT: 29C. God Bless America-particularly her GPS! With 0.35 miles to the waypoint, the huge rock massif loomed out of the murk right on the nose! Bingo! Tea at Tellata!"
The next nearly 200 miles were the most demanding the Merc had ever traversed. A heroically established route through dry washes, rocky hills and over a ferocious rock mountain had been put in place by the French in the '40s and '50s, and been at the mercy of erosion ever since. They must have had bulldozers and scrapers to make it, yet you wondered how on earth they got them there. What were the logistics of keeping the road gangs supplied with food and water over that time and distance? Painstakingly marked with rock cairns, sometimes every 75 yards, this engineering achievement leaves you open-mouthed.
As does the mapping. Done long before satellite imagery or GPS were even dreamed of, the accuracy and detail is staggering. GPS should unquestionably earn a Nobel prize for its inventors, but it is useless without a good map or geo-referenced satellite image to use it on. But ant-like, with these two ancient and modern benchmarks of man's ingenuity as props, the G-Wagen-another modest benchmark-picked its way agonizingly over the unforgiving terrain to the tarmac road that waited all those tortuous miles away to the west.

Who or what else was there? The God-given scale and majesty of the landscape makes the heartbreaking influence of the human overlay even more poignant in some parts of the Sahara with its problems, its unemployment, its never-ending political turmoil and attendant loss of life through extremist activity. But the sheer niceness of the people was truly humbling. Military checkpoints were abundant on main roads, yet at each, after the appropriate checks had been made, one or more of the soldiers summoned enough English to say, "Welcome to my country!" In one small town, as a visitor, I went into a shop to buy some biscuits, coffee and a couple of eggs. Not having the right money I offered a high denomination note-worth about $10. The shopkeeper did not have change. He pondered for no more than a second or two and then said, "Well, take it anyway!" Humiliatingly, I wondered how a lone Arabic-speaking North African would be treated in the UK in similar circumstances.
There is sand and, I thought, there is sand! There are probably a hundred types, textures and bearing strengths, but this is business-the best sand on the planet. Crunchy sand is good sand, a kind of mini-aggregate of different-sized particles. Here, near some cliffs, it was crisp and orange and hard, bearing the footprint of the Merc's seemingly indestructible BFGoodrich A-Ts with clarity and precision as the setting sun threw it into relief. I drove to make circular patterns in it and tested the generous torque of the 602 diesel by pointing the G-Wagen up the foot of the escarpment to leave a puzzle for anyone who might pass this way in the future. The moon was rising and I yelled my customary hello. The Merc had done well and we were both, I think, enjoying ourselves. This is what one has a G for.

Circular drills
I was watching a documentary yester night (The Bladed Hand). While the opinions in the doc have some strong pitfalls, it's a worthy one, interesting. Would NOT train under some of these people if they paid me for it, but the rest...? Man, they're good. Now, I think the teaching value of survival is mostly forgotten, and might help explain why the previous generations is so damn good. And I still think that the teaching proficiency itself of many (some of them legendary) teachers needs some work, but there's one thing FMA have that other arts don't emphasize as much. The doc, at one point, basically says "FMA training has taken over cinema; if you've seen a fight, it's 90% sure it's FMA". Then it sort of extrapolates from there to MA training. I disagree. If anything's taken over MA it's boxing. But... But the fact is that FMA have some interesting things in them. People get really attached to FMA drills, for example. You'll find people in every corner doing hubud or sombrada. Sometimes with no sense at all, no matter how you measure it. I think that's often a mistake. The idea of drills isn't. In fact, a lot of arts have them. I can only speak for Japanese arts, but there are such drills there. Unending, partnered, fluid drills... that most instructors forget as soon as they grab the plane back to the West. And I've been wondering, of late (since before this particular video), how to use the idea of circular, neverending drills in Kaju. Call it sombrada on techniques or hubud on our own "blocks", the idea is there, and it's really accessible. Why isn't it used? Why is most dynamic training I'm seeing a toeing into Boxing waters or some weird ideas on barroom brawls instead of a way to dynamize what you are already training. Take care.

We use the Maxi BuggyBoard with our Quinny Buzz pushchair. The fixings attached easily to the pushchair frame and the board clips on and off quickly and easily. There's also plenty of room to push the pushchair without catching our shins and our 2 year old thinks it's fab. Well worth the money.

Attaches to our Mamas and Papas Pliko pushchair easily. Even though can't fold the pushchair with buggy board attached it doesn't really matter as so easy to detach, just a case of unclipping.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this was to assemble and attach to the buggy. My son loves riding on it. The only annoying thing is that with the Quinny Buzz you can only use it with the car seat or pushchair and not with the carrycot.

have brought the buggy board for my 2 year old to use as I have just had another baby, and she thinks it is brilliant. It also good that the board extends as it fits both my buggies which are completely different sizes. which saves me having to buy two diferent boards. really happy with this product.

I love the buggyboard and so does my 2-year-old son! It was simple to attach, but I can't close the pushchair properly with the fittings on, even though the Lascal website says that it fits. However, I do have an unusual puschair (Maxi Cosi Mura) so I'm guessing that this will not be a common problem.
Excellent purchase

WIth a newborn and a 2-year-old, the maxi board saved me when travelling alone with both kids. My daughter loves "driving" the pram. The instructions are more complicated than the actual fitting method. Once deciphered, I realised it was very simple to attach! Absolutely delighted with this product.

The board is a very good quality and design, our 2 year old loves hopping on and off it. The only downside it that you have to walk behind it with a slightly shorter stride which can be a little uncomfortable. It would be good if Lascal could also make a pushchair handle extension which would make it easier to walk behind the board.
Fantastic product - highly recommended!

Am so pleased with this product. I am expecting my second child and my first will be just 2 years old. I didn't want to buy a double buggy because I would find it too cumbersome in a big city and whilst travelling. I heard about this product through word of mouth and I can now understand why it gets so much praise. It was easy to put on the brackets. I bought extra brackets to put on a second pushchair I have, making it quick to switch the buggyboard between the two. And my little one already loves it as she doesn't want to be in her buggy all the time and loves going for a ride when she's fed up of walking. A great product.
Not used out and about yet but....

we have tried attaching it to the quinny buzz and that wasn't too bad, do have to remove the bag at the bottom and extend the handle to full. Which is fine despite only being 5ft 4 and is big enough for both 3year olds to share at the moment! Just hard work for mum! Really like the fact you can fold it away when not needed. So overall quite happy
Very glad I bought this!

Bought this for my daughter who's nearly 3 and can pretty much walk everywhere. Even though our baby hasn't arrived yet she's already keen to go on it, which should hopefully make life a bit easier when the time comes! Very easy to fit, NB the wheels don't turn that easily so it's not great for reversing.

Depends on your pram

I bought this item to use on our Graco Mosaic pushchair. When it 1st came I opened the box and was rather worried by all the components, thinking it was going to be hard to set up. In fact 1st impressions were soon forgotten and it was relatively easy to attach to the pushchair. My daughter loves it, and it means we don't have to take the double everywhere. I also like the fact that the board is easily removed (leaving the connectors in place) so if your only taking 1 child out you don't have to have it attached. My only negatives, are that with the Graco Mosaic, the connectors are unable to go in the ideal position (though this is probably not a problen with other pushchairs). If you put the on the inside, they interfere with the folding mechanism, and if put on the outside, the board comes out a little too far making it difficult for the parent to push the pushchair without knocking the board with their shins. In the end, we settled for having the connectors on the inside and then just loosening and turning them when we need to fold the pram. The other thing being.. the price. Not sure why they cost so much. Though sturdy and pretty well made I still think that they are a little high in price, but if you need a buggy board I would certainly recommend it.

These kids are so funny. Franny's little personality is really starting to develop. Atticus has always been a little reserved around people he doesn't know. Franny, on the other hand, tries to make friends with everyone. Every time we go to the store I keep getting these funny looks from people, and I think, "Why are people laughing at me?" Then I realize that she's down there flashing these huge smiles and doing everything she can to engage people to pay attention to her.
Atticus' imagination is starting to take hold, and it is so entertaining! Last night he says "Bye!" Where are you going? "Library." Okay, see you later. "Yeah. Later!" He goes to the door, then comes back (in a perfect imitation of me), and says "Oh! Keys!" and grabs his forgotten pretend keys off the coffee table. We are cracking up. "Bye!" He's gone a few seconds and then comes running back. "Library book!" and picks a book up off the table and takes off with it. "Bye! Library! Love you!"

Former Flickr Staffer Blasts Yahoo/Flickr Over Yesterday's Layoffs
Twitter was a buzz yesterday with tweets from current and former Flickr staffers regarding a round of layoffs that took place at the popular photo sharing site yesterday. One of the most upset seemed to be former Flickr engineer Nolan Caudill who wrote a scathing post calling Yahoo/Flickr out over the firings.
"Flickr lost several good people today. If you had me name the top 10 Flickr employees that loved the site the most, half of them got handed pink slips today," wrote Caudill. "Yahoo made a major mistake today and there's no other way to interpret it. I'm mad and this is my soapbox."
Equally troubling, Caudill seems to indicate that the layoffs were merely a symptom of a larger problem of Yahoo suits being out of touch with what is one of their most beloved properties by users. "Flickr-the-site will be fine but Flickr-the-culture took a huge hit today and those suits in Sunnyvale balancing some column or doing their thousandth "re-org" are completely to blame. I bet they don't even know what they've done and that's probably the worst part of the whole thing," Caudill continued.
It's interesting that layoffs at Flickr would be one of the first moves made by Yahoo's new CEO Scott Thompson. I wrote an open letter to Thompson shortly after his appointment as CEO suggesting that Flickr represented one of Yahoo's best chances for success with social. Flickr has been losing unique visitors (according to compete.com) over the past 6 months as competitors like Google+, Smugmug, Instagram, 500px and even Facebook continue to pull some of the best users away from the site — by the way, facebook is currently in the process of redesigning their photos page (it looks an awful lot like they are copying Google Photos here) and employees have been reaching out to popular photographers, promoting them on their new suggested user list, etc.
After flubbing a new product release (some sort of unusual chat with other users while you doodle on photos thing) that Flickr killed four months after launch, you have to wonder if laying off what are perceived as some of their best Flickr employees really makes the most sense as Flickr Chief Markus Spiering tries to push forward with the promised innovation that he blogged about earlier this month. On the other hand, sometimes in order to effect significant change you need to clear house. Sometimes a culture needs to be broken before it can be rebuilt and maybe this is partly what this is about as well. Perhaps this is more of a rebuilding to allow Flickr to clear the deck so to speak to build something better and stronger.
Still, if Flickr is planning on coming up with something better, it had better move quickly. It seems like post after post on Google+ these days are about how much users LOVE Google+ for photos/community and how many photographers are not renewing their paid Flickr Pro subscriptions due to a superior community culture at Google.
It is telling to me that newly appointed CEO Scott Thompson still does not appear to have even bothered to set up a Flickr account. By not having a Flickr account Thompson is publicly showing how little regard he has for the popular Yahoo property. It takes 2 minutes to tell an administrative assistant to set up a PR oriented public account and post a few old vacation photos on it.
That Thompson can not even be bothered to do that much makes me wonder not only what sort of message this sends to the day to day employees working on Flickr, but if Caudill might just in fact be right about the suits down in Sunnyvale having no possible clue about what they even have with Flickr. Former Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz never could be bothered to set up a Flickr account either.
By contrast, Google cofounder Sergey Brin is not only sharing his photos on Google+, he even showed up for a hangout that I was on with popular photographer Trey Ratcliff last week to personally talk live about some of his photos and his favorite photos by others. I'm surprised that a billionaire founder of one of the most successful tech companies of all time seems to have to the time to publicly support the photo sharing aspects of his product while the new CEO of Yahoo can't be bothered.
Update: More comments here.
Ex-Yahoo Jaisen Mathai writes an open letter to flickrenos laid off asking them to consider working on his Open Photo project.
Update #2: BetaBeat's coverage. Thread on Flickr Central. Graphic made by Flickr employee identifying some of those laid off. Andy Baio suggests Flickr management was blindsided by these layoffs.

Some of you may know that I also put my blogs on hubpages.com where there are many different writers on a variety of subjects and many different forums.
I saw a message from a chap by the name of Tim on the above title matter and was compelled to reply to him. I think it was two fold really, as I saw many of the mockers and felt that this poor chap was now also having to deal with feeling as if he was insane as well as enduring the attacks he was having.
My reply will be towards the end, but for ease I will put both his question and my reply below, but do take time to read some of the other responses. For me it reminded of the the 2 Timothy chapter 3 vs 5a 'having a form of godliness (religion) but denying it's power'. Too many of the body of Christ walk in fear of things they need not fear.
Like Tim I wrote in a previous blog of the same title as the prementioned scripture Having a form of Godliness (religion) but denying it's power of spiritual experiences of my own and so I do not doubt Tim's experiences for a second.
Like Tim I wrote in a previous blog of the same title as the prementioned scripture Having a form of Godliness (religion) but denying it's power of spiritual experiences of my own and so I do not doubt Tim's experiences for a second.
Tims post - I suffered a terrible attack from demon's, they attached themselves, oppressed and tormented me vigerously. I went to so many pastors and men of God only to find that they wanted nothing to do with the relaity and played it off as pschcological or other secular reasoning when all throughout the bible you see the reality of demonic possession opression and the like, Jesus dealt with it, why don't leaders in the church today, it is SERIOUS!
Brother Don's reply - Hi Paul,
Most people will mock what they don't understand and so reading through many of the replies, I was unsurprised by them.
Are you a Christian? Lot's of churches will have nothing to do with it because they have what the apostle Paul calls 'A form of religion, that denies the power thereof'.
Most people mock issues such as demonic attacks etc as they themselves fear anything that they cannot understand of control. If you are a Christian, then you do not need a pastor to pray for you or lay hands as the power of the risen Christ is in you and all you need do is stop fearing and rebuke such spiritual foolishness in the name of the risen Lord Jesus - Get a bible and turn to the book of Luke, chapter 10 verses 17 to 20.
Be warned though, if you have no relationship with God then do not try and deal with spiritual matters your self otherwise you may end up no better than ther sons of Sceva see the book of acts in the bible, chapter 19 verses 11 to 20.
If you want a church who know the power and the word of God and do not walk in fear of the demonic realm then let me know where you are and I am sure I could recommend some.
Remember, there will always be those who mock, because they don't understand and have not experienced what you experienced. The bible tlaks about people be blinded by their lack of knowledge and there rejection of certain types of knowledge - don't be one of them.
Take a read of some of the comments and you may even feel led to add your own.
God bless you

Braver Newer World
"Mike Aki and his husband, a Massachusetts couple...planned on having two children. But their two surrogate mothers in India each became pregnant with twins.
At 12 weeks into the pregnancies, Mr. Aki and his husband decided to abort two of the fetuses, one from each woman. It was a very painful call to make, Mr. Aki says. "You start thinking to yourself, 'Oh, my god, am I killing this child?'"
He didn't think of his decision as an abortion, but as a "reduction," he says. "You're reducing the pregnancies to make sure you have a greater chance of healthy children," Mr. Aki says. "If you're going to bring a child into this world, you have an obligation to take care of that child to the best of your abilities."
Today, Mr. Aki and his husband have two 21-month-old daughters. The girls share the same genetic mother. Each man is the genetic father of one of the girls. Next week, Mr. Aki and his husband will officially adopt each other's genetic daughter."

Wow! I'm not even sure what to say to that. It's shocking on so many levels. It makes me think of a science fiction that could possibly become a reality...a time when being a naturally born, genetically unaltered person would be a rare thing and perhaps only Christians would be them.

Dick I love your webpage it brings back so many memories that I wanted to write and let you know some things I remember.
My name is Kathy (Marton) Johnson living in Coloradonow. I graduated from CanonMcMillan in 1963
Some of my memories are:
Walking down South Central to town, going to the Alhambra to see my first movie "Imitation of Life", then going down a couple doors to a soda fountain owned by George?
Or going to Jeffrey's Drug Store and ordering a plain coke with chocolate, or cherry syrup to make it taste better.
In those days the only thing you got expelled from school was smoking on school
grounds - teasing your hair too high, or wearing skirts too short.
Going to see Porky Chadwick at the Armory for dances and of course honking your horn
when Porky would say "Blow your horn".
The saddle shoes with 3 pair of socks folded to make your ankles look huge.
Circle pins worn by girls either on the left or right
to let guys know if you were available or not. Going steady and wrapping 100 yards of yarn around his ring so it would fit your finger, wearing green and yellow on Thrusday was a no-no because it meant you were gay.
Doctors made house calls.
The A&P at the bottom of South Central getting flooded so many time and my Dad would go down to help to try and
keep the water out. For his help they would give him a case or two of cans with no labels and you didn't know until you opened them if they were vegetables or dog food and we had no dog.
Blue Star potato chips the best in town, going to the HitchnPost on Rt. 19 to hang out with friends.
At South Central grade school - standing in line to go into school - if you stepped out of line you were sent to the back and started over. The big bad paddling machine supposedly in the Principals office which of course no one ever saw. Going to the store and buying penny candy like the strips with little dots on them.
And most of all our Beloved Miss Crumm who had a cat, I will never forget it's many names: Twinkle, Patricia, Syvester, Meatball , Malloy Crumm. Twinkle for the twinkle in her eye, Patricia?, Sylvester for the cartoon cat, Meatball because she was as fat as a meatball, Malloy that was her nephews last name, and of course Crumm for her.
So many fond memories. Just thought I would share a few of mine of our good ole Canonsburg.
Thank You again for the website, Kathy

- I love to take pictures and after I purchased my first digital camera I took even more pictures. I currently have albums, slide carrousels and CDs full of of pictures that need to be organized and presented in some type of fashion. That is why I started digital scrapbooking. So far I have only done a few pages, but my plans are to do alot more. My camera is also great help in organizing the cards that I have made. I have taken pictures of all the cards and want to make albums that I can leave with prospective customers. I have also put these pictures on the internet so family across Canada can see them.

Same Die Cut - Slightly Different Look
I had bought this stamp from Lisa the previous year, so I decided it was the first one I wanted the die cut for.
After watching Lisa demostrate how to use it, I went home and created these two cards. There are slightly different, but the basic design is the same. Both flowers and stamps were colored using one of my favorite colouring methods, using Tombos directly on the stamp. Thanks Lisa for showing me this great method of coloring and how to create the wonderful background. A great way to fill in all that white space.
Needless to say, I am looking forward to seeing Lisa at the next Scrapfest in Kitchener in the spring. Thanks for looking.

Awesome cards Lynne, thanks for describing how you did it too. I also found the diecuts and bought the horse to go with the stamp set I bought the year before. I need to get it out and play. Thanks for the inspiration to do so.

Privet Folks,
I Hope everyone is fine. Privet is not some sort of a magical spell, It just mean Hello in RUSSIAN.
SO my question to the admin in particular and to everyone in general is that as the topic says ample about it "Why did the AVNET not use decoupling capacitors for the SPARTAN based-FPGAs as recommended by XILINX". The recommneded decoupling as given in UG393 are 100, 4.7, 0.47 microFarads ..... where as in your boards you have heavily relied on 0.22 uF ... is that because of the high signal integrity requirements due to the multiGiga Transcivers and PCIe interface .... I am talking in the context of your Spartan 6 LX75T Development Board ...... other boards designed by Atlys and NEXYS have used even smaller values i.e. 10nF, 47nF, 4.7 uF, and 0.47uF ..... a detailed reply will be appreciated ... thank you
Best regards
These Caps are used for noise decoupling.
Xilinx recommended values are applicable if all of the FPGA gates are switched simultaneusly which is not the case in general.
2ndly Decoup. Caps. effects the SNR of GTP which is enough even with small caps. Recommended values are for Defense Grade SNR of signals.
If you liked my rply kindly contact me at email mentioned by my name.

Chiefs RB Charles leaves with knee injury
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles has left the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Cleveland Browns in the third quarter with what the team called a knee injury.
It wasn't clear which knee Charles hurt or when it occurred. He was questionable to return.
Charles had been having another nice game, carrying 11 times for 54 yards, and hauling in three catches for 35 yards in helping Kansas City to a 20-10 halftime lead.
Article continues below ...
Charles entered the game with at least 100 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in his first seven games this season. The only other player to accomplish that feat was O.J. Simpson in 1975.

text: THE NEW YORK FILM CRITICS CIRCLE named ``Broadcast News'' best picture of the year. ``The Dead'' was runner-up in the 53rd annual awards. Other ``bests'': Actor Jack Nicholson (``Ironweed,'' ``The Witches of Eastwick,'' and ``Broadcast News''). Actress - Holly Hunter (``Broadcast News''). Supporting actor - Morgan Freeman (``Street Smart''). Supporting actress - Vanessa Redgrave (``Prick Up Your Ears''). Director - James L. Brooks (``Broadcast News''). Screenplay - ``Broadcast News.'' Cinematography - Vittorio Storaro (``The Last Emperor''). Foreign language film - ``My Life as a Dog'' (Swedish). THE GEESE THEATRE, America's only touring dramatic company working exclusively in prisons, plans to be operating again by Jan. 3, even though fire severely damaged its Dublin, N.H., headquarters last month. The company has mounted an emergency fund-raising drive to replace equipment and personal belongings lost in the blaze. Associate director Tom Swift says the group will keep its booking commitments for the winter. CONGRESS SAID NO to a request for $4 million to preserve on film the choreography of Martha Graham. A Senate-House conference committee killed the proposal. The measure had been controversial from the start. One objection was that such a government grant for one artist's work might set a troublesome precedent for the future. Proponents of the measure felt that the precedent had already been set by past government support of the National Symphony and the Kennedy Center. The proposal also struck some congressmen as badly timed, considering a general push for fiscal restraint.

I scored a few points with My First Wife this evening. I cooked a meatloaf that tasted pretty good. But…I cooked it in muffin pans. Yeah, muffin pans. You know…cupcakes, muffins and the like. What a brilliant idea. Even you can do this. I just want to know why I'm just now finding this out.
All you do is fix up a meatloaf the way you normally do. Then scoop it into the the sections of a greased muffin pan(s). Use 2 pounds of meat for 12 of these little hockey pucks…er, I mean meat loaves. Dump in a 10 oz. can of vegetable soup for your veggies du jour, if you want. Prep time: about 10 minutes. Set the muffin pans on a flat cookie sheet and cook them for an hour at 350 degrees and…Viola! Dinner is served. Not only that, but you have prepared nice lunches or snacks for tomorrow. A car trip in your future? Picnic? Pot luck dinner? Store in a flat plastic covered container and pat yourself on the back.
Now then. As simple and efficient as this was for me, why am I just now finding this out?!?
I guess it's an official blog now. This being my second post and all. I could hardly wait to post this photo.
I took this picture the other day while I was out walking along Turkey Creek here in the Heart of America. (Yes, it's the creek where a bunch of us turkeys get together for a walk.) It was a brilliantly clear and sunny day; heavy traffic in the bright blue sky. I took several pictures and there were many more streaks. I like this photo best.
My First Wife just stared at this picture when she first saw it. "That's nice," she said in her delightful Southern drawl. It's now on my desktop for awhile
Please enjoy. It's copyrighted.

Here we go again: writing from the hip. When I signed up with FB/Google I went sorta mad. I have wasted a lot of time over there. I'm weaning myself from it. I will completely remove myself from it within a very few weeks.
My new blogging location is here. If you know anyone who really, really likes me and misses reading my blogs, send them this way.
In the meantime, I'm going to repost some of your favorite blogs. I'll quietly, gently remove them from my other blog site and slip them back in here. You'll enjoy the joy of reading them again. I'll sprinkle in some new blogs as I do so.
And I will add more photos–I hope.
I love and miss all my reader friends.
Here we go again–writing from the hip.

This week we're celebrating launching our 3rd Tool belt application and this is where it's starts getting serious! The Auto Battery Saver is a fab little app that you can set and forget and it looks after your battery by switching off power hungry features at set battery levels. It's quite reminiscent of the old Motorola/Symbol devices that go into a lower power mode if the battery level dropped to 10%.
The Raptor Auto battery Saver has 3 battery levels you can set so you can gradually reduce power usage as your battery nears empty. So you can just dim the screen at say 30% battery, but at 20% maybe you opt to turn off some radio's and at 10% you could seriously dim the screen, set some timeouts to really quick settings and sacrifice a little usability for the sake of getting through a day shift on 1 charge.
Most of the time Raptor devices shouldn't need this kind of application as they all have super big batteries, however it's still a really handy app to have and it'll run on any Android device so it just might come in handy after all!!
Check it out on the Google
View all our apps, see what's coming soon and being developed right now and contact us if you have an idea you think we could turn into an app!

HUGE apologies for the lack of new blog posts on Sarah's Style Statement. I've recently moved to Northampton with my boyfriend Rory so that's kinda taken over my life, fitting more than 50 pairs of shoes and all my clothes in a van was no mean feat but now I'm all settled in I'm ready to blog absolutely loads. How would everyone feel if I was to do some posts about moving house/what you need for a first house as I'm thinking about focusing some posts around interiors?
Now that I'm going to be working in London it means I can attend more blogger and press events as I missed out on loads when I lived in the North West so hopefully you'll also see a lot more posts about new collections, beauty products and so much more.
As excited as I am about transferring to the Stylistpick HQ in London, moving away from family and friends can be a daunting experience. I've moved away from home before but never lived with a BOY before (ha!) so there's a lot of adjusting to do but it's all very exciting and I'm sure I'll continue to love it more and more each day. I'm loving having our own little space and although we've only bought a few bits and bobs, it's already beginning to feel like home.
Now that I have a house, I'm going to have to control my fashion and beauty buying habits to an extent but I'm quite looking forward to having more responsibility whilst making sure that anything I do buy is a well thought out 'investment'.Each piece in this outfit has so far been a good investment so I thought I'd share this look with you. The rust coat from H&M is a super throw on piece and it's the perfect thickness for Summer. I'm also a real denim lover so my ripped skinny jeans also from H&M, definitely get worn regularly with most of my tops and layering pieces. I've styled this look with a plain white New Look tee, a vintage Moschino belt, gold chain necklace from Topshop and Fringed Bag from Zara. But the piece I'm most excited about has to be my Black Suede Mules from Florence & Fred at Tesco! I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted these beauties, they are also available in tan as well. The quality of them is fantastic and they are real suede, but ten times cheaper than other styles I've seen on the high street.
I hope you love this look and my little life update! If you're a Northampton blogger comment below as I'd love to get involved in any local blogger meet ups or events!

ACSPC Comments 1/13/06
I have been working as a Financial /Accounting professional and CFO during the past 30 plus years; in addition, I have been consulting in SOX compliance for the past 18 months at various public companies of different sizes, and would like to share some of my observations resulting from hands-on work in this area. I am aware that you are discussing the issue of establishing a category of mid-range public companies (up to $250 million in annual sales), and exempting them from the external auditor attestation requirements of Sarbanes Oxley Sect. 404.
I believe this is an outstanding recommendation for the following reasons:
The argument that these Mid-Range companies need internal controls the most, is correct, however, this reality actually supports this exemption since it will allow the freedom to create higher levels of control automation using systems that can result in more reliable controls, and make human overrides and fraud less likely – or at least more obvious since the transactions could be separated before processing. These automated controls can be developed because the environment is not one of strict adherence under a deadline, but, rather, an environment of developing what fits the company - within a time frame sufficient for capital investment and employee training in procedures. This development effort may not be as robust if a company is merely trying to conform to an outside auditors standard.
If this exemption can not be implemented without going back to the Legislature, I think the PCAOB or SEC can provide companies with a right to defer external attestation for 2 years as long as they provide a project or program status report that shows significant movement in the direction of compliant internal controls. This status report would be provided with each years request for the exception (filed with PCAOB??).

Bikini Glam Girl
A beautiful girl--mostly naked--on the terrace of a hillside house yards away from a pristine beach on a tropical island. She is rubbing her pink pussy with her delicate fingers as the sea breeze blows through her brown hair.
Her hands squeeze and rub the smooth, soft skin of her big tits. She can do as she pleases. No one cares. On this serene Caribbean island paradise, scantily clad, nearly naked women are everywhere. No one complains. There are no moralistic snobs pointing fingers at them, no snoopy neighbors complaining to city hall. People are in harmony with nature and the beauty of the female body.
It is in this kind of setting that SCORE prefers to bring its models. And this is the kind of setting that SCORE has been known for the past twenty-five years.

Behind The Scenes
The Portuguese villa used in making Big Boob Finishing School was a hotbed of big boobs and sexy, pretty girls. Our roving videographer was all over the grounds that week. Whatever Valory Irene and her delightful Finishing School classmates were doing was always something that had to be photographed. They could be reading a telephone book out loud and that would be enjoyable. Was Sophie Mae really twerking? Frisky girls like this capture the attention even when they just walk down a flight of stairs. The camera followed Arianna Sinn and Lana Ivans into the bathroom when they went to have a mutual shower. So what do they do? They turn their shower into a show. Girls just want to have fun and laugh. This is the universal truth. Bless their hearts!

Tight Jeans, Tight Top
You couldn't find a happier girl than Lana Ivans. She tries on her own bra, a 34E-cup, and proudly displays how her tits look packed in it. The shake test reveals that her bra is secure to carry those melons carefully. "They look much, much bigger because I am slim," said Lana. She's unbelievably sexy. There's a natural eroticism about her. She doesn't have to work it. That sex appeal is always there. She now does webcam modeling from home. Lana is a confident girl about sex. "I'm good," she laughs. "If a guy doesn't have a big head, I can deep-throat. I like teasing men and seeing how they look at me. I like to have fun with men. But I love sex most of all. I like to ride on top. You can burn a lot of fat with sex."

Man Vs Boobs
The succulent, delicious Lana Ivans is dressed in a very sexy, skimpy two-piece that fits her shapely, sexy body perfectly. Lana steps out of the beachside resort to gaze at the scenic delights and immediately smells food grilling. She has to see what's cooking. While we follow her jiggling tits as she walks down the stairs slowly in her high heels, Lana follows her cute nose to the pool area. She's on the scent and discovers Largo cooking weiners on the veranda by the pool. Largo gives Lana a taste of his grilled weiner but Lana wants the wiener in his pants. She's gonna be cooking that sausage real good. We've yet to see a video with Lana that wasn't hotter than a taco from a Mexican lunch wagon. Everything Lana does is super-sexual, even walking down a flight of stairs.

Behind The Scenes
When Big Boob Finishing School was being filmed as well as when the day was over, a roving photographer was all over the villa and the estate. He records the scenes being shot and he records daily life at the Portuguese villa, chatting with Michelle, Valory, Lana, Sophie and Eden on the grounds and around the house and being clued into their daily activities. The girls are a frisky, flirty bunch and they like to have fun. Nothing shows this more than a few minutes in a bedroom with Valory, Arianna, Eden, Lana and Michelle together. Their personalities are as pleasing and as enjoyable as their faces and bodies. It's a candid and natural video diary of the week at Big Boob Finishing School.

Total Sex With Lana Ivans
Total sex. That's what Lana Ivans promised and that's what the Romanian honey delivered. She has a doll-like appearance and eager-to-please nature and an unreal, smokin' sexy body. Lana has the same kind of personality as many other European SCORE Girls. Feisty, spunky, fun-loving, energetic, with the same mischievous glint in the eyes. And Lana smiles a satisfied, happy smile when the special sauce cums her way. Her Euro stunt-dick did a fine job of work boning her. Lana claimed that eating corn stimulates breast growth. She was backed up in this claim by another Romanian bra-buster, Arianna Sinn. It seems that this belief in the boob power of corn is a Romanian thing. Meanwhile, Sophia Mae, a Czech, said beer does the job. Lana now does solo webcam modeling.

Rubbing The Right Way
In this Chapter of Big Boob Finishing School, headmistress Michelle Bond assembles her curvy, international students in the kitchen for a new lesson. Michelle teaches her classes that when a man comes home from work, his woman should be wearing a sexy outfit and be prepared to have his dinner ready. Eden demonstrates Miss Bond's lesson plan. Michelle quizzes Sophie about answering the door when her man comes home. What should she do? Sophie tells her the answer Michelle doesn't want to hear. That exasperates Michelle and she sends Sophie off to her room to re-read her tutorial, "The Ultimate Guide To Pleasing Men." Sophie leaves the kitchen with a glum expression. Now Michelle wants a game of role-playing. What should a man expect when he gets home? A nice massage to soothe his tired body and mind. Valory volunteers to play the role of the guy. She climbs on the table. The girls help undress Valory and they gel her gorgeous body. This massage will be epic.

Poolside Pipe Job
Lana Ivans is a smokin'-hot little doll. Lana approaches Largo reclining in the sun at the pool and proceeds to blow his shorts off into the next time zone. Incredibly sexy, Lana has a unique way of being slutty without being a slut. She's a good, wholesome-looking girl gone wild. Lana claimed that corn is responsible for her boob size. She said she eats a lot of it. These days, Lana hangs out on webcam. Lana's big tits on a small body, her pretty face, her slap-worthy bum-cheeks, her pretty, pink pussy and her shapely legs make men feel good. She is one gorgeous piece of ass, a girl many men would be happy to marry and hide away from the wolves.

Cramming For Finals/Graduation Day
On the eve of their graduation at Big Boob Finishing School, Sophie Mae expresses self-doubts when Arianna Sinn comes by to see her. Sophie reads an excerpt from Michelle Bond's manual, "The Ultimate Guide To Pleasing Men" about how to properly please a cock. Arianna offers to help. Together they will use a banana as a learning tool. Arianna licks and places the banana between her big boobs and has Sophie do the same. This erotic play and cock instruction turns them on and they take turns kissing and licking each others' large, beautifully shaped naturals. Their make-out session ends and all of the girls meet with Michelle for a final quiz. Michelle has the pleasure of announcing that their graduation will follow after this meeting. The girls assemble in their pasteboard graduation caps and meet on the estate for their final moments as a unique group. They will always remember their special week together at Big Boob Finishing School in Portugal. Now they are ready to be man-pleasers in their respective hometowns--from Romania to Israel.

The Wembley Masters is now in its 37th year and stands as one of the 'big three' tournaments alongside the World and UK Championship.
Thank goodness all urgings to make it a fully fledged ranking event down the years were ignored. Its prestige comes from the fact that it is only open to the elite top 16: one table, big money, huge pressure and it all adds up to great drama.
From tomorrow I will start the build-up to the Masters by looking back at some of its best moments.
But right now I'm at Crondon Park in Essex for the Championship League.
Group one is a stellar line-up: John Higgins, Mark Williams, Shaun Murphy, Mark Selby, Ali Carter, Stephen Maguire and Graeme Dott. Group two will feature four of these plus Ronnie O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson and Jamie Cope.
The Championship League is a typical Barry Hearn project: something that was widely derided by those resistant to innovation that became, very quickly, a success.
It's a pretty simple business proposition: it makes money for all those involved, and the fact that all the top players are once again competing proves its worth, particularly when it acts as a warm-up for a major tournament as this week.
Full details of the websites streaming the CLS are available at the official site here.
The Shootout is not intended to be serious but does carry a first prize of £32,000.
It's main function, apart from providing entertainment, could well be to tempt Sky back into the snooker fold on a more permanent basis.
Two decades ago the new year would start with the Mercantile Classic on ITV but those were the days when snooker had a regular set of tournaments, sponsors and dates.
The game is effectively being rebuilt right now, which is both exciting and challenging for administrators, players and fans alike.
The good news is, though, that there'll be plenty of snooker to watch.

Looking forward to the Championship League you would say that 2011 is the year where Barry Hearn's rebulit is shown in the process. Good luck to him hope to see more tournaments on Freeview hopefully
- 10:42 am
Very few of those bookmakers are actually showing the snooker today for some reason?
- 11:30 am
I remember when the CL started—most of the top 16 wouldn't play, although typically Murphy and Selby were game for it. Then the players saw Joe Perry and Ali Carter rake it in...
This thing can't be cheap to run, do the bookies actually make a profit on an entirely internet broadcast tournament, or is it just a promotional exercise?

If you are familiar with online image hosts, feel free to use the ones you are most comfortable with. I am a fan of imageshack.
If you're not sure how, there have an extensive how to area here...
As a courtesy, try to post "thumbnails" to your images, so those with slow internet connections don't get bogged down with full size photos.
You'll want to use the "Thumbnail for forums (1)"
I'll try to keep posting photos every once and a while, so you can enjoy our seasonal changes.

One happy little tree
I had my art class last night. This week we did landscapes. If you've checked out my work that I have posted on this blog previously, then you should gather that I love painting landscapes.
This week I learned a new technique to create landscape pieces. We were instructed to use a tonal under painting or grisaille effect to build layers and create a richer looking painting.
First, we chose photos that we wanted to recreate. I borrowed mine from the internet:
We then sketched out the basic shapes onto our canvas. After sketching, I took black paint and mixed it with matte medium (one of my new favorite paint additives) to create a greyish watered down black to begin shading in the darker areas for the first layer.
Here is my underpainting!
My shapes are a bit off as far as the landscape, deal with it.
After that was dry, I put another thin layer of matte medium on top and then used a hair dryer to quickly dry the paint.
The next step was to determine what my basic color blocks should be and apply those colors transparently so the gray underpainting shows through a bit and not to focus on the details of the painting.
I used a very light blueish purple for the sky and brought it down into the farther hills. I then took a darker blueish tealish green and formed the farther hills and brought it down into the closer hills. Finally I used a more natural bright green/yellow to build the foreground and pulled it into the closer hills to blend with the darker green/blue. In words, this makes very little sense. So here:
Finally, you are to go in and start adding the details to the painting and other layers of paint to create the scene keeping in mind the light source in the painting and the mood. My picture felt serene and calm to me, so I wanted to focus on creating that feeling for the audience.
We ran out of time for me to get very far into this final process. Last night, I managed to complete the sky/clouds and part of the tree.
I took some color liberty with the sky to give it a sunset affect and as if the sun was striking the clouds.
Here you go:
More updates to come as I finish the rest of the painting. The last photo looks darker than it actually is. My phone camera isn't the best.

– Running into Sam Woods at BS and Leo at SW
– A mini-fallout in the afternoon of 04/18 at Willow Pond/Sabine Woods (with 100s of Tennessee Warblers it seemed)
– A perched-up Dickcissel in the Walmart parking lot in Woodville. And no one bothered us while we were stopped in the main access road to look at it – a miracle
– Can you say Cerulean? 3+ Golden-winged Warblers!
– 6 Yellow and 1 Black Rail at Anahuac. Finding American Goldens with a couple of Buffies mixed in at a previously unknown location at AN. And 5 Huds!
– We had to work for the Upland Sandpipers at Beckendorff Rd
– Ground birds! 2 Ovenbirds and 2-3 Kentucky Warblers
– Re-finding the singing Swainson's Warbler along Gore Store Rd at our secret location. Excellent looks!!!
– Scissor-tailed Flycatchers!!!
– Walking the Pipit Trail at Attwater hoping for a Spraque's to flush. One bird did and flushed across the fence. We did not chase it down. 3 White-tailed Hawks were the highlight there
– Hearing Bachman's Sparrow while getting out of the car. Unexpectedly, our first seen birds at this spot were Red-cockaded Woodpeckers
Other notes:
– Low numbers of Blackburnians, Chestnut-sideds, Ovenbirds. Only one cuckoo!
– Tanagers and Orioles were abundant
– Conditions for rail walk were optimal and there were no bugs. Black rails were found right by the fence in the less prickly spartina. Yellows were in the thicker, more prickly variety.
– There now is a $10 parking fee if you want to drive the beach at BF.
