While The Rich Get Richer, The Poor Get The Blame
That's the common story in the news, though the two parts are mostly split into separate categories so that we would not notice the connections. Thus, we get stories like this one, about who it is who is doing well in this economy, and then we get stories which tell us about planned budget cuts in the federal and state governments, about belt tightening and about the need to cut corporate taxes. Or the reminders about the importance to have "skin in the game," a term which in this context refers to all those "freeloaders" who coast on the coattails of the One Percent.
It's a bipolar world. Or at least a world where the Powers That Be seem to have forgotten the overall goals the economy should have: To offer the largest possible number of people a decent chance in life.
That includes work which pays enough for survival and some time off from that work. It should include basic education and health care which are affordable and a civil society which treats people with some respect. All the markets and corporations matter only as means towards that goal, not as goals themselves.

Two weeks ago I had the special opportunity to meet with the folks at EdLab – Teacher College, Columbia University to help plan the first event at their new Learning Theatre, a ~2000 sqft space that is going to combine a reconfigurable learning environment with a huge array of data capture and interactive technologies and visualization capabilities. I think this space will really help us think deeply about the design of future active learning spaces, am I'm really excited to be a part of it!
As part of the meeting Matthew Berland and we invited to give a talk on the future of learning spaces and multimodal learning data.
The people at Ed Lab videotaped the event and broadcast using a pretty neat system that allows for participants to annotate the talk in real-time. You can watch the whole thing below (or click here to see the full site):

The song explores the band's negativity towards the music industry and the whole of industrialized society. The song centres around an aspiring musician who is getting signed by a seedy executive to the music industry, "The Machine". The voice predicts all the boy's seemingly rebellious ideas ("You bought a guitar to punish your ma, you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool"). The boy's illusions of personal identity are further crushed with lines such as, "What did you… read more

Thanks so much!

I just became aware of another website today called bigcartel.com and that one you can list 5 things for free after that there are monthly subscriptions, but then they don't deduct any for commission. Whereas etsy.com you pay .20 to list the item and then they charge a 3.5% commission on the things you sell. I'm planning on sitting down and figuring out the math to see what the difference would be...those are the two sites I'm aware of so far that market listing handmade goods to sell...ReplyDelete
P.S. You've got a new follower! and a fellow burdastyle lover...but only the free patterns :) I'd love a follow back over at lisaranae.blogspot.com!
I thought about selling some pictures on etsy but they take part of the money you make I think and you have to pay like per month so I just decided not to.ReplyDelete
Thanks for commenting! Feel free to leave your website name- I'll be sure to check out what your needle and thread have been up to lately! <3 Lilly

Teachers may understandably become anxious when confronted with the apparent complexities of health and safety legislation, and consequently may feel that they must limit the range of activities they undertake with children. Normal classroom practice in art and design need not be unduly restricted because of fears about health and safety. Normal practices are safe, within the acceptable bounds of risk-taking.
Pupils should be aware that controlling health and safety risks is an essential art of everyday life. Although the primary responsibility for the school's health and safety policy rests with the employer, it is just as important that managers and all employees clearly recognise their roles and legal responsibilities. Pupils and visitors also have a duty under the HSWA not intentionally or recklessly to interfere with or misuse anything required by law to protect the health, safety or welfare of others. The HSC guide, Managing Health and Safety in Schools, contains further detailed advice on these aspects.
A working environment in which all concerned co-operate to create good conditions will normally be a safer and happier place than one where they do not. Pupils should be encouraged to develop confidence and a sense of responsibility for themselves and others. They must learn to understand that their actions directly affect other people's safety, and be encouraged to look for, and react to, potential hazards. Pupils should be trained to work sensibly and safely, and to acquire positive attitudes towards safe practice. Teachers must give a clear lead by their own planning, precepts and personal example.
Heads of departments in secondary schools will often have certain safety functions that are delegated in connection with the legal requirements referred to in section 2. They and their staff should demonstrate a continuous commitment to health and safety requirements and set a good example for pupils to follow. It is important for pupils to recognise that everyone is involved and all share the responsibilities. By frequent reference to safety requirements and art department rules, a high standard of safety awareness can be attained and a working environment in which all concerned co-operate to create safe and harmonious conditions conducive to learning.
Safe working practices are dependent upon:
Teachers who are in any doubt about the extent of their responsibility may wish to consult the Department for Education and Skills publication Health & Safety: Responsibilities and Powers which was sent to all schools and local education authorities in December 2001.

I am back to working on a Teresa Wentzler project each Wednesday after missing a week earlier this month. Still my progress is slow ... but I have gotten far along enough that I am satisfied that choosing a lighter fabric than recommended is going to work out well. This project will probably take all summer to complete ... there are a record number of fractional stitches, even for TW, and the backstitching will be very complicated. She included a separate three pages of chart just for the back-stitching which will be in five different colors.
The Place for all Cross Stitchers who are into Fantasy Designs. Share your pictures of your work and what you want to stitch. Encourage each other and learn about new designs and designers.

Obscura Day 2015: Design Panoptikum
Don't go to the art galleries, go to the scrapyards!
A step through the doors of Design Panoptikum, a Museum of Extraordinary Objects, is a step into a wonderfully unnerving world of retro-tech attached to body parts, and medical equipment paired with common items from eras spanning past and future.
Troubling imagery coupled with a self-described "space carnival atmosphere" lends to a spooky yet whimsical world of doll-like mechanical monsters and a place where people seem to have been put together with spare parts. Lounging on rare furniture under a substantial collection of bizarre lamps, these eerie figures and their surrounding furnishings are designed from historical objects from aviation, the medical field, the film industry and more.
This Obscura Day, join us at Design Panoptikum for an exercise in logic, creativity and fantasy. Owner/artist Vlad will open his doors for a personal tour of his half design museum, half horror house of the imagination. He'll be sharing the stories behind his various creations and collecting the best wrong ideas from attendees to create new installations using real, historical, industrial objects from the last 100 years, to be re-combined in the wrong context.
Saturday, May 30; guided tours will be held on the hour from 11:00am - 6:00pm
Tickets: €7

Grand Lodge of Iowa AF&AM and Extended Prince Hall Recognition
A very positive step that all mainstream and PHA grand lodges should consider. The patchwork quilt of recognition is confusing to brethren who travel, who don't always understand that joint recognition usually just applies within the confines of their state.
And once again I make a plea for Prince Hall grand lodges to submit their contact information and their current lodges to Pantagraph Printing's List of Lodges Masonic. The listing allows you to add whatever restrictions and requirements you might have, but more important, as bogus lodges and grand lodges continue to proliferate, the List is a recognized and trusted source for determining if the Mason who presents himself at your door is from a lodge you are in amity with. It just makes good sense for everyone.

Bro. Chris: The Grand Lodge of Iowa actually recognized the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Iowa over ten years. Last year we noted the 10th anniversary of that recognition.ReplyDelete
Wade Sheeler, PSGW
I'm aware of that milestone. Iowa's action to extend recognition to other PHA GLs is the next step we should all be taking.ReplyDelete
stuart onan: As a Master Mason, In the State of Kentucky. Daylight Lodge 760. I was very glad to read the news from the Iowa brothers.My only hope is that Kentucky Grand Lodge will follow suit.ReplyDelete
It's a shame, then, that one of the oldest GLs in the US continues to hold to the idea that a younger GL must ask for permission, or that other GLs' officers have said that blanket recognition could be seen as paternalistic.ReplyDelete
PLEASE sign or otherwise identify yourself in your comment posts. I have been FLOODED for months with spam comments, and I've been forced to laboriously screen every post now. Anonymous postings on Masonic topics have the same status as cowans and eavesdroppers as far as I am concerned, and may be deleted if I don't recognize you or if I'm in a grumpy mood.

We all fall down...
This last month has been... hard. Very hard. As some of you know, J was in the hospital for 2 days. He is better now, but it scared me. It also showed me how much of a disconnect hubby and I have. I would go into detail, but my hubby is a very private person and well, he would not appreciate it. Lets just say we are on the rocks... Very on the rocks.

Television icon Dick Clark died this morning from a massive heart attack at St. John's hospital in Los Angeles following an outpatient procedure the night before. According to reports, Clark could not be resuscitated. The New Year's Rockin' Eve host was in failing health after suffering from a major stroke in 2004, which caused him to relinquish his hosting duties. His successor, Ryan Seacrest, took the reigns in 2006, although Clark made appearances on every show since then.
Click here to see Dick Clark's photo gallery Known as The World's Oldest Teenager, Clark was famous for his shows like American Bandstand, the game show Pyramid and of course, New Year's Rockin' Eve, which he created in 1972. Clark leaves behind his third wife, Kari Wigton, and his three children. Check out Dick Clark's Pyramid bloopers:

I have been feeling sorry for myself lately. I've even been going as far as jokingly saying that I've been studying the classifieds. Maybe half joking. The students are starting to get restless now that the temperatures are warmer. They are showing up to class late, they are talking back, they are blaming me for their failures, they are answering their phones during class, they are stealing from me, and it's just one disrespectful action after the other. And I get no break. It's every period. Some days I just sit there during my prep period (last period of the day) and stare at the wall wondering what to do. How has it gotten this bad?
Then I think it's me. When an entire class fails a test, you know it's something the teacher did or didn't do. This is the same thing. If its every class that's off their rocker then perhaps I am somehow the trigger. The problem with this is I don't know what it is that I'm doing. I would stop immediately if I knew what it was. Any ideas????
That has been the last three weeks of my life. Not really teaching, just working on getting along.
This past week I was only in class Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Thursday, I was one of the chaperones for our math field trip while we went to Six Flags Great Adventure for an egg drop contest. Don't worry, we had plenty of time for roller coasters. That's me in the bright yellow shirt.
Something started to happen to me while on that field trip...
I had the opportunity to talk to other teachers. Strange how we work in the same building with these people everyday but we never get a chance to talk to them. What I learned while talking to them is how much they enjoy their students. But hearing this didn't make me jealous, it reminded me of all the good times that I did have with my students this past year. It also made me realize that the students that were on this trip are great students but just 3 years ago they were the Freshmen who were driving me crazy in Algebra 1. And I realized that my students and I are just going through a funk. And chances are, I will come out of this funk thinking, "That wasn't so bad."
That was Thursday. On Friday I attended a Keystone Technology Innovator Conference at the IU.
The day started with Scott Snyder and Brandon Lutz doing their amazing presentation called 60 in 60. They quickly go over 60 apps/websites in 60 minutes. I just barely typed fast enough to take notes on the ones I wanted to explore more. Then I realized that if I want to use these apps I'm going to have to spend a lot of my 'home' time to figure them out. This is time that I don't have. That's when I emailed my principal and asked for a sub so I could play. He offered me a half-day sub which is perfect. Thanks Mr. L!!
The rest of the day went smoothly. I had the chance to network with other teachers and listen to other presentations that I will have to write about later.
When I was feeling like quitting, something came along and gave me hope (Thursday) and inspiration (Friday).

Ahh…. thanks for the relaxing image!
Wow, that's a blast from the past. I remember these falls from my Roadway days visiting in Akron.
Thanks for the comments on the video Tracy and Vince!
In answer to another reader's question, as Vince mentions, these falls are in the Akron, OH ared. This is the river that burned a long time ago from pollution in it.
One of the most interesting things about it to me is that about 1.5 miles away, the river comes to an area that looks like a pond where the water is almost completely still. Talk about change!

Had to dig for this one!
Dai Ichi Building in Tokyo flying both the American and United Nations flags
Korea was not a happy nation and hadn't been for a long time. After the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5, it was annexed by Japan in 1910. Korea was then promised her independence in 1943 by the Allied conference in Cairo; this was reaffirmed by the July 1945 Potsdam Conference. But, when Japan surrendered one month later, Soviet forces were already entering Korea via Manchuria. The sector north of the 38th was given to Russia and the southern zone to the U.S.
After two years of political debate, the Communists still refused to leave and the U.S. handed the problem over to the United Nations. The U.N. attempted, with nationwide elections, to help unite the country, but without Soviet cooperation, it was to no avail. The southern Republic of Korea was created 15 August 1947 and Seoul, its…

European politicians had another reason for accepting US domination [other than avoiding, during the Cold War, the manly obligation of military defense]. They were erecting the world's most generous welfare states. Money saved on defense spending was spent on benefits. With little protest Europeans also swallowed high and steeply progressive tax rates in return for state-provided largess.[1]It's worse than that. Europe's military – and every European nation has one – is just for show. Not in E. Europe, of course, but everywhere else. If the Italian navy is representative, and it is, it's maintained for its dedication to the "humanitarian" mission. Excursion boats and water taxis with armor plate and spiffy uniforms. Name one troop anywhere in Europe who fired a shot at invading Africans and Muslims with deadly intent. The border fence in Spain's African colony? A trifling inconvenience for invaders. The Spanish military neutered and humiliated. A mere 175 miles of Bulgarian and Greek border with Turkey and 3.5 million active and reserve military in Europe? Not one troop on that border. It would sully European honor.
Conscripts in the Dutch army even during the Cold War wept copious tears over the right to wear hair nets for their flowing tresses. French cities are colonized by primitives and where is the French military? Off bombing Libya, of course.

BAYER CropScience describes its Radius corn herbicide as a combination of two powerful, soil-applied active ingredients offered as a convenient liquid premix. The company claims that the herbicide offers one-pass, season-long control of more than 65 grass and broadleaf weeds, including foxtails, waterhemp, lambsquarter, wooly cupgrass and wild proso millet. According to the company, Radius also controls velvet leaf, johnsongrass and kochia, suppresses sandbur and aids in ALS- and glyphosate-resistance management. Radius will recharge after only ½ in. of rain to control grass and broadleaf weeds up to 3 in. tall that may emerge after application.
Radius's use rates can be matched to local needs and varying soil types, and the rate of atrazine used can be varied.

Alright. This is hard to admit.
Cause The Avengers pretty much came out and rocked my ass, your ass, and your grandma's ass off. Cause Joss Whedon is a badass who can chew up corporate crap and spit out magic rainbows of love. Cause Clark Gregg is a bonafied Terminator when it comes to playing Agent Coulson, stealing a multi-million dollar movie from some of Hollywood's biggest players. Cause, dammit, this is the Marvel Universe and the sumbitchin Avengers part of it.
But the really real truth of the matter is that Marvel Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. pretty much blows.
I'm not the first one to say it so put your hair back on. The show is flat and boring. Nobody is engaging. I just don't give a shit what happens because I know when the show starts that NOTHING is going to happen. There are no consequences. Everybody is exactly who they were when the show started and I feel they will remain that when the show ends. The actors have zero chemistry and even the indomitable Clark Gregg comes off as flat and muted.
Hell, it's making me kinda hate Agent Coulson.
So what can be done? I'm glad you asked.
FIRST this show needs to remember that it is a part of the Marvel Universe. We were promised that it would tie in and we have seen almost NONE of that. Yes we got a 30 second appearance of Nick Fury at the end of an episode, but where are the small nods? The inside fanboy references? The freaking copy of the Daily Bugle with SPIDERMAN: HERO OR MENACE? plastered across the front of it. Why hasn't this team started running into A.I.M. or Hydra or any of the other bad guy organizations out there? You have about 30,000 C and D list heroes and villains you can swing into this show for almost no money. Hell, Thor hits in two weeks, just give me a red and silver streak CGI'ed across the sky and have Coulson comment on it.
SECONDLY this show REALLY needs some consequence. Like the episode called EYE SPY. Crap episode. Nothing really happened. Had a glimmer of promise that quickly died. HOWEVER, they could have pulled that episode out by
simply doing one thing at the end. When the girl who they removed the eye from laid down at the end of the show and her eye began to flutter as she fell asleep they should have simply had the one eye left pop open and then do that zzzzt bloodspurt thing that happened to her handler.
BAM! all of a sudden you establish a few things. 1) Coulson's team (and by extension S.H.I.E.L.D.) can miss things, which creates a helluva lot of tension. 2) It indicates that the person in control of the eye devices has a bigger plan and won't simply disappear after this one episode. These two things could turn the show in the right direction because these two things are missing.
Truthfully they should call me and I can fix this show.
Here's what the dealio should be: We all know that Coulson died in The Avengers movie. This Coulson is something else. He may be a Life Model Decoy, he might be a prototype of Ultron or Kang or a Doombot or a brainwiped Skrull or some other thing FROM THE MARVEL UNIVERSE that could possibly become the Vision. Regardless, he isn't human and S.H.I.E.L.D. is field testing him.
He thinks he's in charge of this team of misfits but truthfully THEY are handling him because he's dangerous.
There are two scientists because they are both studying him using their different schools of training. Agent Ward and Agent May are there so that if he doesn't work out they are the two with the ability to take him down. And the Rising Tide girl is the wildcard and the ONLY one who doesn't know Coulson's secret besides him. Of course her gig is to investigate and to mistrust S.H.I.E.L.D. so when tidbits of info that things are not as they seem come out, she is our way of finding out about it. She is our intro character. Once she finds out the truth she drops the knowledge on Coulson and he and her go off the rails.
Then we find out that this whole time they haven't been working for S.H.I.E.L.D. at all.
Seriously Joss, give me a call.

State tax credits have been awarded to two companies with plans to bring 300 more jobs to New Albany's business park east.
State tax credits have been awarded to two companies with plans to bring 300 more jobs to New Albany's business park east.
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved tax credits March 28 for Alene Candles and Axium Plastics.
"We are pleased that Axium Plastics and Alene Candles are one step closer to committing to locate facilities in the New Albany business park," said Jennifer Chrysler, New Albany's community development director. "The companies will collectively create 300 new jobs for the state of Ohio, the region and New Albany with a combined payroll of nearly $10-million."
Chrysler said local incentives were the next step in securing the companies' final decisions to build in New Albany.
"They are still considering all sites. We hope after the local incentives are in place and if approved, they will be making their final decisions (on building in New Albany)," she said.
Chrysler said the local abatement package would be presented to New Albany Village Council April 5.
As for the state incentives, Alene Candles, based in Milford, N.H., was awarded a seven-year, 45-percent job-creation tax credit to locate in New Albany. Job-creation tax credits allow a company to be refunded a percentage of its income taxes paid annually for the term of the incentive.
The value of the incentive is estimated at $214,000 over the seven years and the company must maintain operations at the site for at least 10 years. According to a release from the Ohio Department of Development, the candle-making company's estimated $8.2-million project is expected to create 135 jobs.
Chrysler said Alene Candles was looking for sites in the Midwest or western portion of the United States. She said if local incentives are approved, the company could be part of a 300,000-square-foot speculative production facility built by the Pizutti Cos. Alene Candles would occupy a portion of the building.
Axium Plastics, based in Mississauga, Ontario, was awarded a seven-year, 55-percent job-creation tax credit for the move to New Albany. The value of the incentive is estimated at $449,000 over the seven years and the company must maintain operations at that site for at least 10 years.
Axium manufactures plastic containers ranging in size from a half-ounce to 40 ounces for the food, personal care, health care and automotive industries, according to its website.
Axium's $16.2-million project would be housed in a 110,000-square-foot facility and would create 165 jobs, according to a release from the state.
Chrysler said the company would have room at that site to add another 110,000 square feet of space.
Since they would be locating in business park east, both projects would benefit the schools in Licking County through New Albany's revenue-sharing agreement. Chrysler said the Axium facility would be built in the Johnstown-Monroe Local School District and the Alene Candles facility would be within the boundaries of the Johnstown-Monroe and Licking Heights Local school districts.
Both projects are eligible for 100-percent tax abatements in business park east if they generate a certain amount of revenue per acre, Chrysler said, and both have estimated they can meet the minimum revenue stream.
Depending on the type of facility each decides to build, the companies could receive the abatement for 10 to 15 years. Construction of a "baseline 'green' building" provides for a 10-year term and construction of "an advanced 'green' building" provides for a 15-year term, Chrysler said.
Chrysler said the village and the New Albany Co., which owns the land marketed to the companies, worked with two state organizations to attract the companies to central Ohio.
"Through the continued support and cooperation of Columbus 2020! and the Jobs Ohio team we were able to help keep Ohio on the short list of sites and hopefully complete the deals in the next few weeks pending approval for local incentives," Chrysler said.

Application service providers (ASPs) have exploded on the scene over the last year. At last count, AMR Research Inc., in Boston, tallied more than 300 ASPs, and the number is still rising rapidly. ASPs offer everything from Web site hosting to e-commerce and enterprise applications, including today's leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) software. However, the benefits of running enterprise applications, in particular, through an ASP despite the obvious rush to provide them--are still debatable for many user organizations.For an organization such as the Transylvania School District, in Brevard, N.C., the ASP model is proving to be a tremendous blessing. The district installed the Eltrax applicant-tracking package from Eltrax Systems Inc., in Atlanta, and will install other Eltrax human resource (HR) modules, replacing a hodgepodge of stand-alone desktop systems and manual processes. "We get Web-based applications that give us ease of access from multiple locations, and [Eltrax] stores our data," explains Terry Holliday, superintendent.
Commercial NetLease Realty Inc., in Orlando, Fla., a real estate investment trust (REIT), turned to Oracle Corp., Redwood Shores, Calif., and its Oracle Business Online (BOL) ASP business unit when it decided to implement Oracle Financials. The company was moving from a mixed bag of old, nonintegrated real estate industry applications that no longer met its needs. "When you step up to the tier-one application environment with a product like Oracle, you are moving up in complexity. We simply didn't have the resources to do it ourselves," explains David Lachicotte, director, information systems.In addition, the ASP model saved the organization from the need to purchase new hardware, which would have been required to host Oracle Financials in-house. That is a savings estimated at tens of thousands of dollars. Time-sharing revisited? The ASP model is simply another form of outsourcing. It harkens back to the time-sharing that was prevalent in the computer industry in the 1970s. Back then, organizations would sign up with a provider who ran big, complex, core business applications on a mainframe computer. In those days, the cost of computer processing and the cost of storage were so high that many organizations could not justify the investment in a mainframe computer--and the entire glass-house infrastructure required to support it. "In the time-sharing days, the limiting factor was hardware. You just couldn't afford enough mainframe processing power," recalls Kirk Krappe, senior vice president, Corio Inc., a Redwood City, Calif. ASP. The goal was to connect as many users as possible to amortize the high cost of mainframe MIPS (millions of instructions per second of CPU power) and the high cost of storage. But times have changed. Moore's Law, which predicts that the processing power of computer chips doubles every 12-18 months, has inexorably worked its magic. Today, a commodity home PC has far more processing power than the mainframes of the time-sharing heyday. And almost every organization, no matter how small, can manage to support a Windows-based file server and a small network. Similarly, the cost of storage, once calculated in dollars per megabyte, has fallen to pennies per megabyte. "Today the limiting factor is not hardware or even software but people. Organizations need highly skilled people," Corio's Krappe continues. Companies find themselves hard-pressed to fill IT positions. Stamford, Conn.-based Meta Group Inc. reports that the demand for IT professionals in 1999 exceeded supply by 400,000 jobs and projects that continued demand will result in 1.2 million unfilled IT jobs by 2005. The number of IT graduates, estimated at about 30,000 per year, can scarcely make a dent in the expected demand. The result: Organizations that can easily buy a well-configured Intel-based server cluster running Windows 2000 for as little as $20,000 still cannot find, hire, or retain the skilled IT professionals necessary to run such equipment. Add the complexity of the applications hosted by ASPs--Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP, Siebel--and the skills shortage becomes even more acute. The difficulty in hiring and retaining skilled people certainly played a key role in driving Clarent Corp., in Redwood City, Calif., to Corio when it made the transition to PeopleSoft from Intuit Corp.'s QuickBooks Pro. "Corio was hiring better resources than I could," admits David Blumhorst, Clarent's director of IT. In addition, the entire task of setting up an internal data center capable of supporting a rapidly growing organization running a mission-critical application was too daunting to attempt. "We would have had to really think about things like security and backup in addition to personnel," he says. The Internet also makes a big difference between the time-sharing of the past and the ASP offerings today. The Internet supports truly distributed computing. Users working from a standard browser anywhere can connect via the public Internet to the ASP and run feature-rich applications. Through the use of VPN technology, the connections can be secured and protected. By comparison, time-sharing relied on slow, cumbersome network links, costly leased connections, and dumb terminals. The resulting green-screen applications were hard to learn, difficult to use, and inflexible. Hype and reality
| Anticipated applications purchased from an ASP upon initial implementation
Source: Zona Research Inc., 2000
For instance, if the organization already has the server and network infrastructure in place, the partially pre-configured quick implementation solutions offered by many packaged ERP application vendors can rival what the ASPs provide. Both the quick implementation solutions and the ASPs rely on the customer accepting a uniform set of configuration defaults and parameters. Packaged application vendors report that customers can get their quick implementation solutions up within 30 to 90 days-which is about what ASPs can do.

As promised, here is my post about the uber-swanky tea party my mom and I just hosted. It was a RAVING success!!!! We are totally exhausted...but in a good way. Heck, I even lost 5 lbs. this week from all the running around I was doing--BONUS! I am going to break up my coverage of this gala event into several postings over the next week or so. So, keep checking back for more tea party goodness!
How it all started...
A little over a year ago, my friend Andrea and I were talking about tea parties. She asked me if I would have a tea party, and could she please come...to a REALLY tea party (not the pretend kind with stuffed animal guests, Koolaid in the tea pot, and Oreos--though I like Oreos). I promised her that, yes, I would host a "real" tea party, and that she would be our guest of honor. Andrea is 3 or 4 years old (I forget which). Did I mention this was last year?
I'm s l o w.
It was TOTALLY worth the wait.
When we finally decided we would, indeed, take on this monumental task, we did so in stages (I say "we" because I coerced my mom into doing this with me...I didn't have to twist her arm very hard). The whole planning process took about a month...maybe two. The production part took about 2 weeks. The whole thing actually started with the keepsake favors I wanted to give to our guests as "thank-you-for-coming-and-stuffing-your-face-with-us" gifts. Because, before we even had a menu in mind, I KNEW it would be a decadently lavish affair. I mean, come on...this is ME we're talking about. I don't do ANYTHING half way. And, my blessed mother got dragged along behind my creative train throughout this event.
She's a trooper, my mom.
And, she's one heckuva sous chef.
But, I'm getting ahead of myself.
The Favors:I can't claim creative genius on these...as I got the idea from Pinterest. I love Pinterest. I get some absolutely amazing inspiration there. And some...not-so-inspiring stuff that makes me scratch my head like a Minion and go "Whaaaat?"
But, I digress.
I decided we NEEDED to make tea cup candles. You know...real china tea cups with wax poured in them and wicks....CANDLES. They looked amazingly cute when I first saw them somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of Pinterest. There was only one problem. I've NEVER made candles IN MY LIFE. Ever. I know what you're thinking, "But Torrey...you grew up in the 1970s, back when EVERYONE AND THEIR GRANDMOTHER were making candles of some sort or another!"
In my defense, I did macrame with my grandmother...and made padded frames with calico fabric and eyelet lace. That should count. With my other grandmother...I cooked. She taught me to cook from the time I was tall enough to see over the counter top. More about her in a later part of this multi-post tea party extravaganza.
But, I'm a crafty chick. I KNEW I could figure this all out! So, I started doing research on candle making. Talk about information overload. But, I got the gist of it. Then I set out to figure out where to buy wax. I went to my favorite big box craft store. It was REALLY expensive there. Then I went to Ebay. I found some good deals but I thought having wax shipped to me in August...in Texas...was probably not a wise choice.
I turned to the yellow pages and found (to my surprise and delight) several candle making supply places within a few miles of my house! I decided we'd get our supplies at AAA Candle Supply (click on their name to go to their website). Their prices were very reasonable and they said they had lots of scents to choose from. "Lots of scents" was an understatement. When mom and I walked into their storefront, there was an entire wall lined with about 4-5 rows of shelves...on which, about every 2 inches, was a little brown bottle of "scent". There must have been 200-300 bottles on that wall. We smelled scents until our smellers wore out.
They had some very "odd" scents too (that weren't particularly appealing). The tobacco scent was interesting. The "Thanksgiving Dinner" scent was absolutely disgusting. One should NEVER put meat scents in a candle. Unless it's bacon. Then that's OK. I decided I didn't like anything with "butter" or "caramel" in the title. There was even one called "Butt Naked" (I kid you not). You don't even want to know what it smelled like. I figured they put that one in there to a) See if anyone noticed and b) as a joke. We wanted a light, clean, summery fragrance. We ended up choosing "Fresh Linen". It was perfect...crisp, clean, slightly floral.
At AAA Candle Supply they also have glass containers of every size and shape, as well as molds, wicks, wax, colorants, and all other manner of candley goodness. They were most helpful as I admitted that I was a TOTAL candle-making virgin. I had no idea how many choices in wax there are. I always thought...candle wax is candle wax is paraffin.
I was wrong.
There is soy wax, and beeswax, and palm wax, and good old paraffin, and soy-paraffin blends, and beeswax-soy blends, and stuff called Parafflex, and different grades of each wax with technical sounding names like IGI 4630. There is wax for pillars, wax for votives, wax for containers, wax for mottling (I don't know what that is either), wax for hurricanes, wax for tapers...Oy vay. I asked the saleslady which one would be ideal for what we were making. She suggested their soy-paraffin blend. She said it was single pour, had good scent throw, and carried a scent load capacity of 12%! I had no idea what that meant, but she seemed proud of that fact so I played along and said, "Oooh, that sounds really good!". She said it was their most popular wax. Who am I to argue with the masses?
Then we had to discuss wicks. Again, I thought, "wicks are wicks are basically pieces of string". Wrong. There are as many different types of wicks as there are waxes...there are standard wicks, paper core wicks, zinc core wicks, wood wicks...all in different lengths and diameters. Oy vay. She asked how big the tea cups were that we were using as containers...and I said, "Oh, you know...tea cup size". Brilliant. She put back the "standard" wicks and grabbed the next larger-diameter size wick and said, "well, these will ensure that all the wax burns inside and not just a hole in the middle". She was the boss.
We bought the smallest chunk of wax they sold...10 lbs. She brought out this HUGE slab and slapped it down on the counter. It was solid, but VERY soft...squishable with your fingers soft. She also sold us a bag of 6-inch wicks. I told her we only needed like 12. They came in a bag of 100. We have wicks to last us into next century.
Now that we had the supplies, it was time to focus on the tea cups. We had a BALL scouring estate sales, garage sales, and thrift stores for tea cups and coordinating saucers. All the cups we got were unique--not a duplicate in the bunch. Tall ones, short ones, dainty ones, hefty ones...there were even a couple of Limoges, a Franciscan, a Haviland, a Mikasa, a Paragon, and even a Royal Dalton. It was quite the assortment! Unfortunately, not all the cups came with saucers. So we had to find saucers that went well with those that didn't have a mate. We did a pretty good job!
They turned out LOVELY.
Here is the process, in photos!
Step 1--The Supplies
Step 2 -- Melting
It's been SO BLASTED HOT here in Texas, I could have just set the wax outside for about 10 minutes and had it melt. But, I didn't want to go outside. I also didn't want to melt wax in my good pots and pans and there was no way I was spending $20 on a special "spouted wax-melting receptacle". Coffee cans to the rescue! We squoze (that's a word) one side into a rough spout shape and placed it in a pot of water and added the wax. Worked slick as the proverbial whistle. Before melting, the wax had the consistency of cold butter. Seriously. It was that soft. It melted FAST. When it was all melted, I added the scent --precisely 1.5 oz per pound of wax (those were my instructions). Who am I kidding? I didn't measure. I just dumped some in.
Step 3--Making PropellersAs I discovered that wicks like to float, I was concerned about how to keep the wicks in place while the wax was setting. I found a FaBuLoUs tip that involved drilling a hole in a Popsicle (craft) stick, laying it across the top of the cup, sticking the wick through the hole, and using that as an anchor for the wicks. Worked like a charm. Here's mom drilling the holes in the sticks. I think they looked like little propellers. In fact, that's how we knew we were all the way through the sticks when drilling them...they'd spin around like a propeller!
And yes...she's in her jammies. You'll see a good number of photos of us in our matching polka-dot jammies. We ended up working on these projects for the party either very early in the mornings or in the late evenings.
Step 4--Finishing TouchAfter they were set (overnight), we glued on their corresponding saucers with E6000 glue. That stuff will glue an elephant to your refrigerator and then the refrigerator to the side of your house. When the glue had set (overnight)...I added a label to the bottom of each saucer.
Step 5--The Final ProductThis is the candle I chose for myself (yes, mom and I made candles for ourselves too). I love its shape...it's very wide and short (kind of like me) and extremely delicate/translucent (kind of like me). Stop laughing.
Step 6--End Thoughts and #SelfieFail
I snapped a selfie of us when we finished. I'm selfie-challenged. Really challenged. My arms are too short or something. I guess I'm just not part of the selfie generation.
I snapped a selfie of us when we finished. I'm selfie-challenged. Really challenged. My arms are too short or something. I guess I'm just not part of the selfie generation.
These turned out so cute! They were pretty easy too! We ended up only using about half the wax...so we can make more someday. Stay tuned for part 2--The Invitations!!
And thank you, as always, for coming out to visit Left Field.

Snow, Wind Raise Avalanche Risk In Western Wyoming
Heavy snow and strong wind have raised the risk of avalanches throughout the high country of western Wyoming.
The Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center has issued an avalanche warning through midnight Friday. The center advises against venturing into avalanche terrain in western Wyoming over the next couple days.
The center says avalanches could reach the highways over Teton Pass and through the Hoback and Snake River canyons.
Snow has been falling throughout the western Wyoming mountains, including as much as a foot in the Teton Range. The Tetons are forecast to get another 4-6 inches of snow.
The avalanche center rates the avalanche risk throughout the mountains of western Wyoming as high. That means natural avalanches are likely and human-triggered avalanches are very likely to occur.

Automotive supplier M&A update - Fourth quarter 2015
Market overview
The domestic automotive market continued its recovery in 2015 recording 17.8 million unit sales, a 9 percent increase over 2014.
That momentum continued into 2016 with seasonally adjusted annual total vehicle sales at 17.9 million units through the end of February1. Low interest rates, low gas prices, reduced unemployment, increased consumer confidence, and greater replacement demand for vehicles have all contributed to growth in the US auto sales market over the past two years. Although interest rates could be a slight headwind, buying conditions are expected to remain positive throughout 2016 before slipping in 20172.
M&A activity
Reported M&A activity in the automotive supplier sector reduced to 108 transactions in 2015, a 10 percent decrease over the prior year. 2015 started positively with an increased number of deal closures recorded in the first and second quarter (14 percent and 8 percent respectively) compared to the same period of 2014. However, M&A activity slowed considerably in the second half of 2015. The third and fourth quarters recorded double digit decreases in completed transaction activity over the comparative period in 2014. The first quarter of 2015 was the busiest of the year with 33 completed transactions. Despite the reduction in the number of completed transactions in 2015, reported deal value increased, reaching $21.2 billion in aggregate value, a three-fold increase over 2014. The increase was due mostly to the acquisition of TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. by ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a global leader in driveline and chassis technology, in a transaction worth $14.5 billion. Excluding the TRW Automotive acquisition, aggregate deal value in 2015 increased by 7 percent in comparison to 2014 or by just under $0.5 billion.
The majority of M&A activity in the auto supplier industry continues to be carried out by strategic acquirers—89 percent in 2014 and 88 percent in 2015. Thirteen transactions were completed by financial acquirers in 2014 and 2015. The most active strategic acquirer in 2015 was Power Solutions International, Inc. (NasdaqCM:PSIX) who completed three transactions. Kinderhook Industries was the most acquisitive financial buyer with two closed transactions recorded in 2015.
Trading multiples
Comparable public companies are trading in a moderate range; EV/Revenue ranging from 0.3x to 2.5x and EV/EBITDA ranging from 4.0x to 10.3x. Average EV/EBITDA multiples are down 28 percent from the first quarter of 2015 having peaked during 2015's second quarter.

: D Lenny Kravitz -《Lenny》
艺人: Lenny Kravitz
语言: 英语
公司: 5 Virgin U (EMI)
时间: 2001年10月26日
Lenny Kravitz is known for proudly wearing his influences on his sleeve, but on his sixth album it's clear Kravitz has at last honed a sound he can call his own. Mixing hard rock and ballads, Lenny kicks in with the blistering "Battlefield of Love," a solid rocker with a funk groove. The retro "If I Could Fall in Love" displays a touch of psychedelia, while the Lennonesque "God Save Us All" is bluesy and uplifting. The success of "Again," the smash single from his 2000 hits package, appears to have registered with Kravitz, who surfaces a new crop of midtempo ballads here--all far stronger than "Again." "Yesterday Is Gone (My Dear Kay)" is a finely crafted tune on it's own, yet Kravitz experiments with atypical sounds. The soulful "Stillness of Heart" builds with acoustic guitars and layered harmonies, concluding with a lovely string arrangement. And "You Were in My Heart" mixes synth loops over solid rhythms and a haunting melody. Lenny may seem like an oddly nondescript title, but it's apt; these 12 songs simply sound like the work of Lenny Kravitz.
1.Battlefield Of Love
2.If I Could Fall In Love
3.Yesterday Is Gone (My Dear Kay)
4.Stillness Of Heart
5.Believe In Me
6.Pay To Play
7.A Million Miles Away
8.God Save Us All
9.Dig In
10.You Were In My Heart

The Hidden God: A Posthumanist Genealogy of Pragmatism
White, Ryan
Wolfe, Cary
Doctor of Philosophy
Departing from humanist models of American intellectual history, this dissertation proposes an alternative posthumanist approach to the thought of Jonathan Edwards, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Charles Sanders Peirce. Beginning with Perry Miller's influential scholarship, American thought is often cast as a search for "face to face" encounters with the unaccountable God of Calvinism, a figure that eventually evolves to encompass Romantic notions of the aesthetic, imagination, or, most predominately, individual human feeling. This narrative typically culminates in the pragmatism of William James, a philosophy in which human feeling attains priority at the expense of impersonal metaphysical systems. However, alongside and against these trends runs a tradition that derives from the Calvinist distinction between a fallen material world and a transcendent God possessed of absolute sovereignty, a tradition that also anticipates posthumanist theory, particularly the self-referential distinction between system and environment that occupies the central position in Niklas Luhmann's systems theory. After systems theory, the possibility for "face to face" encounters is replaced with the necessary self-reference of communication and observation, an attribute expressed in Edwards, Emerson, and Peirce through, respectively, the figures of "true virtue," an absent and inexpressible grief and, in its most abstract form, Peirce's concept of a sign. In conclusion, Edwards, Emerson, and Peirce represent an alternative posthumanist genealogy of pragmatism that displaces human consciousness as the foundational ground of meaning, communication, or semiosis.

The Ghosts Dogs Of Aspropyrgos: The Unbelievable Story Of A Greek Animal Welfare
Community member
It all started 4,5 years ago when some terrible pictures of stray dogs in Aspropyrgos, an industrial suburb near Athens, appeared on facebook. A female citizen of that area had taken the pictures to show the bad conditions of stray dogs there. A group of total strangers, from different areas of Athens decided to go there to see what was going on.
Aspropyrgos, February 2012, 10.00 am, a cold Saturday. About 15 people met in a central street of Aspropyrgos. They introduced themselves, had a cup of hot coffee and started to wander in the unknown streets just to check what the situation was like at the time. All they could see was dirty fields, abandoned fields, garbage dumps, not to mention gipsy camps scattered all over the area. And the worst of all? Dozen of stray dogs. Small ones, old ones, sick and newborn puppies. Too many puppies in the middle of nowhere.
The following Saturday this group of people, including me, went there again in an attempt to understand the magnitude of the problem. In their cars they started to explore that industrial suburb. Nothing had changed. The same pictures of stray dogs everywhere. Sick animals, skeletal, starveling animals. Many of them hit by cars and lorries, abandoned in landfills. Animals that were between life and death. Ghost dogs. So these people decided to do something to alleviate the pain of these poor creatures.
Aspropyrgos is one of the worst areas in Greece. People call it the "trashcan of animals" as someone wants to abandon a dog, a cat, a horse (indeed a horse), he goes there for two reasons. First of all that area is far from Athens and, therefore, dogs can't go back to their home and, secondly, the owners -trying to get rid of their guilt – think that their pet can survive by eating from trashcans.
This is how "The Ghost dogs of Aspropyrgos" was born. A group of brave people, activists and romantic volunteers. Ever since that first cold day in Aspropyrgos 3,5 years ago they have been there every Saturday and, if need be, other days during the week, from early in the morning until late at night. These volunteers are there for these dogs, the ghost-dogs, rain or shine. What they do? They feed more than 400 dogs, take the sick ones to vets, neuter them, vaccinate them, deworm them. And finally they try to find home for them. They carry them in their cars, sometimes bleeding due to diseases or to injuries caused by cars. The most frequent injury is broken legs as everyday dogs are victims of hit-and-run cars cases. Volunteers' cars have literally been transformed into ambulances for all these dogs.
They do that without any support from the state or municipality. The Greek state turns a blind eye to the problem of strays dogs and this is not because of the financial crisis. It has always has been like that. Therefore, these people depend on their own money and on animals lovers' donations/financial aid . On their side, fortunately, stands GAR( Greek Animal Rescue, a British fund-raising organisation which has been helping animals in Greece since 1989.
Up to now volunteers of "The Ghost Dogs of Aspropyrgos" have saved numerous dogs. They have neutered hundreds of dogs and they have found homes for dozens of them. But they are alone. In Aspropyrgos there are supposed to be more than 2,500 stray dogs. Most of them are sick or badly injured so they depend on your support to continue their work.
If you want to find out more about that Greek animal Welfare and take a look at their awesome work, click on their Greek or British page on facebook. Their facebook page is the most popular animal lovers page in Greece

President Obama unveiled his budget proposal on Tuesday morning, confirming early reports that his initiatives include an expansion of universal preschool programs by raising revenue from additional tobacco taxes. Obama's preschool plan is winning praise from both anti-smoking advocates and early childhood education proponents, but it isn't popular with everyone. Even before the specific details were made available on Tuesday, the proposed tax increase garnered criticism from the powerful companies that comprise Big Tobacco.
The current federal tax on cigarettes is about $1 a pack, and President Obama's proposal would increase that by an additional 94 cents. That hike would raise $75 billion to help subsidize preschool for children whose families who earn up to 200 percent of the federal poverty line, in a national effort to encourage more four-year-olds to enroll in pre-K programs. The tax increase would also raise $1.6 billion for the Early Head Start program and $15 billion for other programs.
The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids has praised the policy, noting that higher tobacco taxes are a proven method of reducing smoking rates as well as a reliable revenue source. The advocacy group also points out that the majority of Americans support increasing taxes on tobacco products. In a statement released last week in regards to Obama's forthcoming budget, the Campaign described the proposed tax as "a health win that will reduce tobacco use and save lives, a financial win that will raise revenue to fund an important initiative and reduce tobacco-related health care costs, and a political win that is popular with voters." Total annual public and private health care expenditures caused by smoking are estimated at $96 billion.
But Big Tobacco's powerful lobbying arm disagrees. "We oppose another federal tax increase on tobacco products," a spokesperson for the Altria Group, the biggest lobbying organization representing the tobacco industry, told the Huffington Post on Friday. "[I]t is important to remember that the largest federal tobacco tax increase in U.S. history was enacted less than four years ago. We think it is unfair to single out adult tobacco consumers with another federal tobacco tax increase to pay for a broad, new government spending program."Although the tobacco industry characterizes universal preschool as a "broad, new government spending program," expanding American children's access to pre-K programs actually represents an investment with significant economic returns. Investing in early childhood education reduces future societal and economic costs in at-risk children's lives. Some studies project that those investments eventually end up paying for themselves.
Of course, Big Tobacco has a long history of resisting tax increases on its products. Just last year, a proposed cigarette tax in California — which would have raised a much-needed $810 million for the state's budget by imposing a $1 tax increase on tobacco products — was narrowly defeated after Big Tobacco lobbyists poured about $50 million into efforts to take down the bill.
