"What kind of feel were you going for on the album? Do you believe that you achieved that goal?
The new album has melancholy and brutality, plus it's sweet and beautiful; so yeah, I think we achieved it! It also has more of a cinematic feel. We watch many movies during the recording process so we like the stark contrast between industrial and natural landscapes and I think you can hear the dust on the streets, as well as we sit in the studio, put the amp on and plug the guitar in. I don't know, every band enthuse their upcoming album. It sounds kitschy, but I can't describe it with any other words: we made the record that we were dreaming about. We're glad that after our gig at the Wacken Festival in 2011 the "metal" is back in our music..."

Toronto, Canada's Decode Entertainment isn't going to become an outpost for Santa's workshop anytime soon, but the prodco is delving into toy making and retail distribution for the upcoming holiday season.
The company launched Dudson – a series of 90 x 15-second shorts based on cult artist Nathan Jurevicius's Mini Treehouse collectible vinyl figures – this past September on Toronto subway-platform screens. Since then, it's been tinkering with ways to drive awareness for the property, which has no TV distribution. As Jurevicius's creations already had a presence in the collector market, senior VP Anne Loi and communications manager Polly Beel looked to consumer products as the next natural step.
After locating a suitable toy manufacturer in China, it took approximately four months to get four, 2.5-inch vinyl figures based on the 3-D animation models rolling off the assembly line. The figures will retail for approximately US$8.79 and come in a blind box to further drive collectibility. Gateway newsstands located within Toronto subway stations, will serve as the chief retail outlet, and specialty toy and comic book stores throughout the city will stock the product as well. LC

WASHINGTON D.C. – Congressman Adrian Smith of Nebraska met with President Donald Trump and a small group of House members today to discuss trade.
After the meeting at the White House, Congressman Smith released a statement saying, "In our meeting, I stressed the necessity of a strong NAFTA for agriculture as well as reducing other trade barriers such as Japan's tariff on U.S. beef. I will keep sharing the importance of trade with the Trump administration, fellow Members of Congress, and our trade partners to strengthen market access for producers."
In January, Smith served on the congressional delegation to NAFTA negotiations in Montreal. Smith also introduced a resolution in the House to urge the establishment of a trade agreement with Japan. This week, he will travel to Mexico City for the next found of NAFTA talks.

Hello beauties
I was born as perfume lover and addicted and I have a big personal collection. Had anyone read "Perfume" by Suskind? I'm like Grenouille nose:) I love fragrances for man and woman and I use both for me. And okay I can't stop buying the ones I like, do you know if exists a perfumes rehab?!?
Trussardi My Land is at the moment one of my faves and it's dedicated to man. I find My Land very sensual… This is due to citrus head notes mixed with violet blossoms and lavender, strong cuir and powerful woody notes.
Also the golden packaging and the bottle impressed me… Gold like ancient times lived in a modern way and the bottle, designed by Antonio Citterio, is an art triumph. Bottle's lines are framed by a leather band that displays the Trussardi crest with the phrase "Genuine Leather Made in Italy". The shading and nuances of the leather differ on each bottle because are handmade, which makes each one unique and exclusive.

You need a side project
For more than a year, I've been spending a sizable chunk of my free time — hundreds of hours — as a web designer/developer for Snowpals.org. Doing that, while unpaid, has been a fantastic experience. Here's five ways it's changed my life, and why you might want to think about starting a side project for yourself.
1. Side projects can lead you to a new job
Snowpals.org was (and is) an online community of people who love to spend time visiting Lake Tahoe, most of whom are based in the Bay Area. Their old website was very spartan, and I signed on to completely overhaul it.
One of the main purposes of the group has been to coordinate ridesharing, which was done by individuals sending an email out to an entire Yahoo Group of 5,000 people. I knew there had to be a better way to coordinate rides, so when I started to redesign Snowpals.org's site, I researched existing options (as any good PM does). I figured, maybe there was some site out there that could let us embed a widget where our community could post and book rides. Turns out that didn't exactly exist, but I discovered that the clear industry leader in the ride sharing space was a company called Zimride.
I not only checked out their site (which was impressive and pretty unique), but scheduled a call with one of their marketing/biz dev folks, Zac Matthews. I had a great time talking with Zac, and while there wasn't any widget options, I learned a lot about Zimride and got a feel for the culture.
I wasn't the only one who thought it was a good idea. A few months later, I spotted a post on Techcrunch about Ridejoy, a Zimride clone that sprung up out of Y Combinator and raised some money. Seeing the similarity, I posted a cheeky comment on the Techcrunch post, ribbing them for the similarity:
Not surprisingly, some Zimride folks read the comment as well, and a few hours later I had a Facebook message from John Zimmer, the COO and co-founder of Zimride:
With my then-employer, Ning, already announcing that it was headed toward an acquisition by an advertising company (an industry I wasn't eager to work in), I took John up on his offer. I went in once, twice, three times and then a fourth, and was soon talking start dates. Ready for a change and excited about working in the transportation industry, I started at Zimride at the beginning of 2012.
Not to get too Sliding Doors on everyone, but it was clear that Snowpals lead me to Zimride. Without it, it's unlikely I would have found my job at Zimride.
2. Side projects give you something to own and be proud of
When I first joined Snowpals and used it to find members for ski lease, it was in bad shape. There was no CSS or common design templates, and for users, it was a mess to navigate. While it functioned, it wasn't a great experience.
However, there was no other place online to post a ski lease and find members, except for Craigslist. So I redesigned the entire site from scratch, coded the new design and built it on top of a CMS, so the Snowpals staff could add and update content without knowing HTML.
I'm extremely proud of what I built:
The new Snowpals site looks great (at least, I think so) and is easy to update. Because it's something that I built from start to finish, I have a sense of a pride over the project like few other things I've worked on. I was there at the beginning, and I'm still there, even though it's "done".
I tell people about it, I show it off and I pointed to it frequently in my interviews at Zimride as an example of both the quality of my work and my level of commitment. Knowing that this was something I did on the side, outside of normal working hours, made it even better.
3. Side projects can help others.
Side projects don't have to just be about you. They can be about others. It could be improving the landscaping on your block, coaching a little league team or helping a friend reach a goal. In my case, working on Snowpals was definitely about helping the community of people like me, skiers/snowboarders who go to Tahoe, have an easier time finding rides, deals, rentals and ski leases.
Rebuilding the Snowpals site has turned it into THE destination for ski leases or "ski shares" in Lake Tahoe. So not only have I made it easier for me to find members for my own ski lease, but I've made it much easier for anyone else who's organizing a ski lease to find members.
It's not curing cancer, but it's making something I love (repeated snowboarding in Tahoe) much more attainable for Bay Area residents. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars to rent a hotel for a weekend, joining a ski lease promotes friendship and allows people to have "their own cabin, when they need it" in Tahoe for $500-1500. And the feeling of knowing I've made it easier through my hard work has made the Snowpals project incredibly rewarding.
4. It teaches you new skills
I'm a product manager by trade. Being a designer and web developer for a decently large, CMS'd web site like Snowpals meant learning a hell of a lot of new stuff.
First up, I had to sharpen my design skills. Then, I had to do a ton of research on how to build exactly what we needed. Building the site itself was tough, but building in a concept of a section of "Ski Leases" (each with its own common attributes, like price and region) was pretty tough for a light web developer like myself.
I spent hours upon hours tinkering, researching and posting questions on the Web. I picked up a ton of new skills, from CSS to php to WordPress mastery. It came in handy in job interviews, and it's kept my brain sharp for my day job. And the skills I sharpened working on Snowpals (information design, analytics analysis, etc.) come in handy daily at Zimride.
If you're not feeling challenged at work, challenging your brain outside of work on a regular basis can really keep you sharp.
5. It could turn into something big.
Last but not least, side projects might just end up not being side projects. They might just take over your life.
I don't forsee that happening with Snowpals, but it's happened for a lot of people. Zimride itself started out as our co-founder Logan Green's side project, and many companies have started the same way. It could lead you to a new friend, a new wife or maybe even a massive, multi-million dollar business like it did for Pete Cashmore, founder of Mashable.
You never know. And you won't, unless you get out and try.

LONG BEACH — On a recent Thursday afternoon at the local Elks Lodge, 50 places were set for a "Meet the Candidates" luncheon: 50 name tags awaited the lapels of eager voters; 50 orders of Salisbury steak bubbled in the lodge kitchen, 50 dishes of raspberry sherbet were chilled and ready for desert.
But as the event wore on, it gradually became apparent that everyone who came for lunch and information about the upcoming school board and community college trustee races could have had a second helping. The banquet room was half empty, and the candidates themselves made up about 30% of the audience.
Where were the voting masses, yearning to be informed, some of the more than 200,000 registered voters who could make their wishes known on March 19?
"Not here," one candidate grumbled. "No one cares about the race."
Not 'Much of a Race'
With less than a week before greater Long Beach area voters go to the polls to choose two school board members and two community college trustees, few of the 13 candidates are expecting more than the 10% voter turnout seen in the past two elections.

The Impact of Globalization on The U.S. Defense Industrial Base
By: Jacques Gansler, William Lucyshyn, John Paul Rigilano
Executive Summary
The nation's military strategy, in large part, continues to depend on superior technology, highly qualified operational forces, and the ability to sustain those forces, in order to achieve its objectives. However, in spite of fact that the U.S. defense industrial base—and the global defense industrial base—have changed significantly since the end of the Cold War, current U.S. defense policy amounts to little more than the consolidation of numerous incremental changes that are often contradictory in their aims. The impacts of globalization on defense must be better understood so that policy-makers can better balance the requirements of defense industrial and trade policy with political, economic, and security considerations.
Globalization is the long-term, largely irreversible phenomenon involving the political, cultural, and economic merging of geographically dispersed groups of people across geopolitical lines (Defense Science Board [DSB], 1999). With the advent of modern transportation and communication technologies, the implications of globalization have grown exponentially. In the past, the U.S. industrial base would ramp-up production to meet the needs of the U.S. military, and then fade into the background when the conflict concluded. Throughout the Cold War, however, defense emerged as a permanent segment of America's industrial base, providing dedicated development and production of systems, equipment, and supplies. Rather than mobilize the U.S. civilian economy for conflict, the military sought to develop sufficient permanent capacity within the defense industry to successfully engage in conflicts as they arose (Gansler, 1980).

Capital Update tracks the movement of legislation, the introduction of notable bills, and routine regulatory announcements.
Legislative Action
Safe Schools
The House last week approved by voice vote HR 2455, which would authorize $50 million for competitive, one-year grants to school districts suffering from high rates of crime and violence. Congress has appropriated $20 million for fiscal 1994. A similar program is to be authorized for five years under pending legislation to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
Child-Care Block Grant
The Senate Subcommittee on Children, Families, Drugs, and Alcoholism held a hearing Feb. 24 to discuss the child-care and -development block grant in the context of welfare reform. Advocates fear the need to aid welfare recipients will endanger other child-care funding.
Federal Education Funding
The Senate Budget Committee held a hearing March 4 to discuss the future of federal education funding and a non-binding pledge senators attached to legislation last year calling for the federal government to provide 10 percent of education funding.
The Education Department
Direct Loans
The Education Department published a notice in the Feb. 17 Federal

Pediatric Grand Rounds
The articles address such hard-hitting issues as eugenics in unborn babies; use of fringe alternatives in pediatrics; the ethical dilemmas of worldwide healthcare resources (saving one premie or saving an entire community from malaria); the personal story of parents awaiting a kidney transplant for their child; a pediatrician's exposure of the consequences of antibiotic abuse and over prescribing; immunization pseudoscience; and weird skin things growing in, out of and on newborn babies. Dr. Vartabedian kindly mentions two Junkfood Science articles, giving his thumbs up on the hype over fat children and "the lunacy of cholesterol screening in healthy kids" and the public health hysteria surrounding mercury in thermometers.
But a post that I found fascinating was Dr. Vartabedian's looking at the oldest myth that has circulated in neonatalogy and pediatrics for eons. I'll confess that in my early days in neonatal ICU, it was one we all fell for: iron in formula makes babies constipated and colicy. He praises Mead Johnson for its recent decision to discontinue low-iron formulas, showing that the low-iron formula supplies only about 10% of the iron a typical 3-month old baby needs. Despite what many may believe, regular formula doesn't have extra iron, he writes, it contains the appropriate levels of iron. He refers to an earlier post where he looked at the clinical evidence:
So what's the big deal? Iron happens to be very important for brain development. Studies have documented the long-lasting developmental effects of iron deficiency early in life. And what about the association between iron in formula and constipation? There isn't one. This association was disproved in clinical studies some years back....But so long as misconceptions about formula and constipation exist, there will be demand. And where there's demand there's a market.
Yet another example of marketing and beliefs not following the clinical evidence.

Hot female tennis players - Arantxa Rus
Arantxa Rus started playing tennis when she was five years old. She soon showed her talent, and the top of her current tennis career was in 2008 when she won junior Australian open. She was not named after the legendary Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, her parents just loved the name.
Arantxa Rus loves shopping, travels, watching movies, and hanging out with the friends. Her favorite shots are backhand and volleys, and she would like to make a successful tennis career.
From current point of view it is very difficult to tell whether Arantxa Rus will become a big tennis name or not, she's still very young so there is time for improvement, and the talent is there, after all she did win the 2008 junior Australian open. But to be noticed among the pros she would need to put lot more efforts into her tennis game.
Though she still has to be notices for her game this is not the case with her beauty. Arantxa Rus definitely belongs to the hottest female tennis players on tour, and it would be a real pleasure seeing much more of her in years to come.
And here's one very nice Arantxa Rus video.

Thanks to the Central Kitsap community, we will replace Central Kitsap Middle and Central Kitsap High. CKHS was built in 1942. CKMS was built in 1952. The replacement will add permanent classroom space to get students out of portables. State-of-the-art lab and career and technical areas will allow students to use materials and build skills for tomorrow's careers. Clear sightlines and secure entryways will improve safety and security. The project will ease traffic jams around the campus.
The two schools will be side-by-side in the center of the existing campus. Each school will operate independently with separate entries, commons and classrooms. They will share some resources, such as a kitchen and career and technical labs.
The original CK High was built in 1942. Technology needs, building codes and what students must lean have all changed. Among the buildings deficiencies are:
Modern Learning Needs
To build 21st century skills, students today need modern science and engineering labs. They need the electrical systems that can support their technology needs.
From portables to a loading dock converted into a classroom, students and supplies fill all available spaces in the current school.
Wear on Building and Utilities
Most major school systems, from heating to plumbing, were built to last 20 to 30 years.
Silverdale has grown. More people live between Silverdale and Seabeck and travel on Anderson Hill Road past the school. When school starts and ends, it is difficult for cars and buses to get through.
Students and parents often cannot find parking when needed. A wait list for parking permits is long. The former parking lot was the best available location for portables to address classroom needs.
313,000 square feet of new construction for 2 schools plus remodeled gym
Three-story CKMS, CKHS
Large auditorium
New tennis courts, athletic fields and tracks, including a new synthetic turf football/soccer field with lights, scoreboard and spectator seating
Expanded parking
Secure entryways for each school

Let's just say that I'm still trying to literally wash my hands clean of that place.
The property is currently rented and hasn't been owner-occupied for nearly three years. Aside from the massive amount of structural work needed, here are the highlights of what we experienced:
- We walked into the house and instantly discovered that every room was transformed into squatter-esque dormitory living, sheets were used for doors and makeshift beds were everywhere.
- The smell of mildew and gym socks permeated the house.
- A pair of handcuffs hung above an unmade bed set in the dining room.
- A pair of underwear greeted us hanging on another wall.
- The agent pleaded with us not to take a look in the bathroom because the toilet was broken but it was grossly apparent that the tenants did not mind.
- Calendars of women peppered each room with handwritten notes scrawled across them that read, "I love you," and "I think you're hot."
We felt bad for the listing agent; he seemed defeated from the get-go. Maybe the baby calendar can cheer him up.

I'm trying to switch from Box2d to Nape for performance testing.
My Nape's objects have the _beginContactCallEnabled = true, but the handleBeginContact function won't fire, as it used to in Box2d. I searched in the doc and also had a quick look on the Citrus + Nape project example, but couldn't understand.
Can someone describe, simply, how to set a collision option for a NapePhysicObject / Sensor ?
This won't fire, ever, although _beginContactCallEnabled = true:
override public function handleBeginContact(interactionCallback:InteractionCallback):void { super.handleBeginContact(interactionCallback); kill = true; }

There is a very nice article in the New York Times today about wisdom and aging. In the 'wisdom' traditions – ancient India, Greece, Tibet, Native Americans etc – respect for the older and wiser was a given. Modern culture, of course, favors youth, who – generally speaking – have not gathered enough experience to measure life by, which is one of the definitions of wisdom.
Several insights presented by the psychologists interviewed in the article mirror basic tenets found in the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita, such as:
"…wisdom consists of three key components: cognition, reflection and compassion."
(The three functions of the mind in Yoga Sutras are cognition, conation and retention).
"Wise people are able to accept reality as it is, with equanimity."
("Pleasure and pain are a certainty in life, Oh Arjuna, bear them patiently", says Krishna to Arjuna in chapter two of the Gita).
But among the most telling are the character traits associated with wisdom: thinking of others; the ability to listen and evaluate; simplifying ones life; facing difficulties with faith, humility and, even, lightness and good humor. While the article is a little clinical (why does the West feel the need to scientifically evaluate that which is an expression of the heart, or just plain good sense?) – it does show how yoga and meditation teachings plant the seeds of wisdom from the get-go: we don't need to wait till we become older to become wise, we can water the seeds of wisdom as soon as we step on our yoga mat, or sit down on a meditation cushion. In fact, developing the discipline to practice each day is an expression of wisdom: commitment to developing steadiness of mind, even as the balance of life shifts hither and thither.

The Super Bowl is the final of the premier American Football tournament in the US. It holds the record for largest US TV audience from 2011 with 111 million viewers tuning in. As a result it also has some of the most expensive advertising rates with an average 30 second spot costing R46 million. To justify that enormous cost you get to see some of the most expensive and creative ads of the year.
Here are three from the ads that will flight this year. Many have already got millions of views.
A perfect time to sell beer to beer drinkers. Budweiser will flight more than one ad during the match, but this sentimental ad about good friends uses #BestBuds to tug at your heart strings. Over 6 million views says it is working.
BMW i3
If it is not sentimental it should be funny. BMW shows off their new high tech car by using a clip from 1994 when the Internet was relatively unknown. A great way to make a point about new technology that might not make a lot of sense now. 4,5 million views and counting.
Mobile networks
T-Mobile is a cellphone company that is happy for you to hang on to the data you bought and not take it away from you. They signed up Kim Kardashian to tell you that and will then spend over R46 million to broadcast it. You might ask why they would take the data you bought away from you in the first place but that is another story. It does not showcase a new product; it does not give you anything you did not actually have before and it features someone that is famous for being famous. Despite that, it is funny and the most popular of the three with over 6,3 million views.
And if you must know the match will be between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.

Stillwater Pro Matchstix Mini Float Rods (10ft and 11ft)
10ft Mini Float £27.99, 11ft Mini Float £29.99
The two Matchstix Pro Mini Float Rods are so slim and light you can barely feel them in the hand, and yet are so crisp on the strike as to defy belief.
The rods take up a faultless curve when bending into powerful fish. They have a line rating of 8lb mainline and up to 6lb hooklengths. Both the 10ft and 11ft versions are two-piece blanks with equal length sections to allow them to be easily stored made up.

Q: Does a broker have any liability if a seller's personal items are stolen during an open house?
A: Sellers should always, always, ALWAYS be very careful to make sure all of their personal belongings and valuables are safe and secure. I've even heard of prescription medicines that have turned up missing after an open house. Sellers should put away jewelry, money, paperwork, mail, pictures, prescription medications, keys, knick knacks -- anything of value, whether real or sentimental -- not only during an open house, but as soon as the home is listed for sale.
As for liability, a seller signs a contract with a broker to market his/her house. The broker will screen and monitor clients to the best of his ability. But a broker cannot possibly account for every person every second who enters the house. Sellers need to take the responsibility for making sure their valuables are secure.
Q: With interest rates on the rise, I am wondering if I should try to refinance my home. We have a 5-year adjustable interest rate that will adjust in two years. It will be hard for us to refinance now since our payments will go up, but I am afraid that our payments will go up even higher if we wait two more years.
A: I concur. With the economy heating up, unemployment down, jobs and wages on the rise, the Federal Reserve has been steadily, although slowly, raising interest rates. Although no one knows for sure what will happen with interest rates over the next couple of years, it seems a safe bet that the Fed will continue this course.
In a rising rate environment, consumers should eliminate adjustable rate debt, including home mortgages, auto loans, personal loans – any debt they have that is tied to an adjustable interest rate. Now is the time to get into a long-term fixed interest rate. As you say, it may be hard for you to refinance now and take on higher payments, but it could be even harder to do so in two years. Anyone who is just buying a home now should also opt for a fixed rate mortgage.

Kirigami pattern – Make a snowflake pattern online
Believe it or not, there's such thing as a free online snowflake maker! This is actually pretty cool to begin with. Check out this sample pattern that I made. No matter how ugly I cut it, it still turn out beautiful. Hmm, It's a pretty good thing to do when I'm bored but I'm pretty sure this is quite a treat for those who love Kirigami.
Kirigami is a paperart or papercraft originates from Japan that is quite similar to origami, except that you are allowed to make small cuts into it in order of getting the shape that you wanted. That is the simple reason as to why it is called 'kirigami', literally means cutting paper (kiri means cutting, and kami or gami means paper). It is similar to origami because it may also involve a lot of folding in developing the required patterns.
Kids are going to love this. But in real life it should be done under an adult's supervision since it required to use sharp tools such as the scissors. It is also an art that can make you, and your kids easily getting carried away because it is so much fun! So what are you waiting for, click the link to the site below to start your own kirigami snowflakes. Loading is fast, because the flash size is just around 700kb. However, you cannot download the file, but you can design your own pattern and submit your art work.

I am an event planner, self-taught artist, Founder of Crafty Chicks Night and happily admit to being addicted to crafts.
Growing up in a small town, without a lot of busy distractions, does a lot to feed a youthful imagination. As a child, I was a collector. I would look for beauty in ordinary items that I found around the house and in the backyard. I never felt limited by a lack of 'real' art supplies, rather, started to develop an appreciation for salvaging things and giving them a new life. That's still my philosophy today; most of my creations have a salvage attitude, I stick to a recycling theme when planning Crafty Chicks Nights and encourage everyone to find new uses for old things.
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flames by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."
- Albert Schweitzer
I hope this site is a source of inspiration and rekindles your flame to craft, create and construct. We ALL have an industrious side and an artistic touch living within, cheers to discovering yours!
I'd love to hear from you! Email me at email@example.com

Happy spring to you! Both of my kids have been on Spring Break this week and I LOVE having this week with them. We are enjoying some nice and relaxing downtime and doing some fun "staycation" things. I've also been doing some Easter stamping with some of my new things. I saw a bunny like the one below on Babble.com, but changed it to suit my taste, utilizing the supplies I had on hand. I love him! I used Stampin' Up! punches to make his body. His bottom is the 1-3/4" circle punch; his head is the 1" circle punch; and I made his ears with the blossom punch.
We had a perfect day today - played golf in the rain - and I've never laughed so hard in my life. I'll be sad when Spring Break is over. :( Love having Hunter and Haley home.

Scorned by Marie Long Book Review (New Adult)

I am glad you enjoyed this even if not your favorite. The positives sounds really good even if there are some negatives. Great review!ReplyDelete
I don't think I've ever come across this series before. I may be wrong, but I'll look into the first book. There will always be that one book in a series that turns out to be "okay". Glad you enjoyed it, for the most part.ReplyDelete
Sorry this wasn't a favorite but glad you still liked it. It sounds like a great series with great characters.ReplyDelete
Sorry you didn't like this one a bit more, but I'm glad you did enjoy it anyhow. :)ReplyDelete
Sounds like this one had some real positives going for it. Too bad it had some issues. I get annoyed with characters who are too often mean/rude/brusque with the supposed love interest. Sure some back and forth is good and can increase the chemistry, but too much is like, uh, are you just a witch, or what? lolReplyDelete
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
I love contemptuous interactions between love interests as well...but in moderate amounts. They can be exhausting!ReplyDelete
I have not come across this book/ But glad you enjoyed itReplyDelete
I'm all for HEA's! Not sure if the couple's relationship appeals to me but I love the diversity in it. YAY. Great review as always, Jazmen. ♥ReplyDelete
Another pretty mixed one here. I have been reading more NA lately, so I was curious enough when I clicked it into mind, but I don't think it is for me. I just want a very good book, you know? I don't feel like settling for mediocre lately. It seems like this one had some good points and some that could use a little improvement as well.ReplyDelete
I like books of this genre but after reading your review I have some doubts according this book. It seems to me that it is not so well but good enough to read before going to sleep.ReplyDelete

The Young Communist League of South Africa is a Marxist-Leninist youth wing of the SACP.
The YCL stands for:
Today in the early hours of the morning the Young Communist League of South Africa (YCLSA) learnt of the sad news of the passing away of our political father Cde Charles whom we referred to as "Bra Charles"as the Young Reds.
On behalf of the rank and file members of the YCLSA we would like to express our sincere condolences to the entire family, relatives, friends and the South African Communist Party which Bra Charles served with diligence throughout his life.
He was a pillar of our political grasp of Marxism - Leninism as fundamental basis of our political being. He was our walking library which we can always interact with whenever we face political difficulties. He was also our permanent political educator.
Comprehending and coming into terms with such a departure of a trained MK combatant has been and is still difficult to accept and live with. Rest in eternal power Bra Charles.
As Bra Charles penned down his experience of his interaction with the late General Secretary of the SACP Cde Chris Hani he said, "Hani had true revolutionary charisma and he was stoical at the same time. He had great self-control and clarity of mind in adversity. He had iron nerves, resilience and revolutionary stamina. He had an excellent memory and remembered the names of most MK combatants". This is exactly what we have also learnt of Bra Charles throughout our interaction with him. He emulated the exact trait of Cde Chris and as such the SACP always found guidance in Bra Charls's stature.
We have lost great pillar of the South African working class struggles. We never thought that at some point we will have to come to terms with such a loss because we have always cherished Bra Charles and despite his age he was always young in spirit and fond of the Young Reds.
He was going to be one of the speakers to our incoming National Legkotla to do what he always does to the Young Reds, making us to "Learn, learn and learn as Lenin instructed.
As young people are at the receiving end of unemployment, poverty and inequality we were still holding our hopes high as the Young Reds to continue developing strategies in addressing such challenges through political education guided by him. These challenges need political maturity and resilience and such could only be found in traits such as that of Bra Charles. It is a great loss to the nation partly young people of this country. At the current epoch where politics of gossips and character assassination are rife Bra Charles would have prevailed in holding everyone at abeyance. Some of the characters who claim historical ties with the Movement have opted to unleash their credentials in exchange for tenders. Hence, stomach politics have taken a centre stage at the expense of revolutionary descipline which we learnt through Bra Charles.
We hope to emulate this strong political character and use every necessary political equipment we acquired through him to fight all injustices facing the Movement and the nation, in particular youth unemployment and drugs abuse - the ills that he often implored us to tackle head on.

Kevin Kelly was born in Pennsylvannia in 1952 and he graduates in New Jersey in 1970. When he was 27 Kevin Kelly was a freelance photo journalist, and got locked out of his hostel in Jerusalem due to being late for a curfew. He slept on the supposed spot where Jesus was crucified, and in the morning had a religious experience. He decided to live as if he only had six months left to live. He went and lived peacefully with his parents, anonymously gave away his money, visited his friends, and came back home to "die" on the night of Halloween.
In 1981, Kelly founded Walking Journal. He is a former editor of Whole Earth review (see also Coevolution Quartely), Signal, and some of the later editions of the Whole Earth Cataloge. With Whole Earth's founder, Stewart Brand, Kelly helped found the WELL, a highly regarded online community. He has been a director of the Point Foundation, which sponsored the first Hackers Conference in 1984 (before the word "hacker" had its current common, negative connotation).
In 1994, Wired Magazine, for which Kelly was executive director, won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence. Kelly is now editor at large for the magazine. Partially due to his reputation as Wired's editor, he is noted as a participant and observer of "cyberculture".
Kelly's writing has appeared in many other national and international publications such as The New York Times, The Economist, Time, Harper's Magazine, Science, Veneer, GQ, and Esquire. His photographs have appeared in Life and other American national magazines.
Kelly's most notable book-length publication, Out of control: The new biology of machines, social systems and the economic world (1994), presents a view on the mechanisms of complex organization. The central theme of the book is that several fields of contemporary science and philosophy point in the same direction: intelligence is not organized in a centralized structure but much more like a bee-hive of small simple components. Kelly applies this view to bureaucratic organisations, intelligent computers, and to the human brain.
Among Kelly's personal involvements is a campaign to make a full inventory of all living species on earth, an effort also known as the Linnaean enterprise. The goal is to make an attempt at an "all species" web-based catalog in one generation (25 years).
Kelly lives in Pacifica, California, a small coastal town just south of San Francisco. He is a devout Christian. He is married and has three children.

A home video which shows two cats on top of a fence (before the black and white one is cuddled by its very young owner) sets the scene for things to come.
The black and white cat enjoys Christmas in more vintage footage.
In the present day, two ginger toms tuck into a pot roast dinner which is provided for them by a character known only as Woman (Kate Bosworth).
Apparently, Woman is a veterinarian and also has another cat to cuddle.
The gingers, who are meowing and frantically scratching at a cupboard in the basement, lead Man (Wes Bentley) to a shocking discovery.

Stranger on the phone isn't a friend
April 2012
I am unable to keep track of the number of phone calls I receive each week from people who either try to sell me something, ask me to participate in a survey that will only take three minutes (yeah right), or are soliciting money for a charity.
I have also supposedly won some trips and prizes but never stay on the phone long enough to find out exactly what my big win was. I have my name on a "do not call list," which might protect me from receiving even more calls.
I hope they understand that my lack of patience is not personal. These people are doing their jobs, but they are not my friends.
However, when someone who spent a day alone at home with little or no social contact receives such a call, their reaction might be very different than mine. They hear a friendly, engaging voice and may welcome any kind of conversation. A friend is defined as a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. The stranger on the phone is an employee with a mandate to perform a task.
Of great concern are scam artists who target our elderly population to turn over large amounts of money. These fraudsters are skilled at using such strategies as befriending their target or pretending to be someone of authority. They may have a vulnerable person believe they won something of great value but must turn over a sum of money to receive this prize. Some of these con artists are based out of the country and hard for officials to locate. Often the most vulnerable are the least educated on this subject.
If you receive a phone call from a stranger, be on guard. Do not offer any information. End the conversation quickly. You can always ask for a telephone number to return the call at your convenience.
If you feel that there is something suspicious, contact the local authorities or call government-run PhoneBusters, 888-495-8501.

SO happy to hear your beautiful Davy and your family are doing so well.
I wanted to share that my step father and one of my step brothers were born with cleft palate. When my step father was born in 1948 it of course was not as common to take hundreds (or in my case thousands :) of pictures of your little ones. But my grandmother has baby pictures of her other sons and there is none of my step dad. She was embarrassed of his clefty smile. The first time I heard that I could not control my sobbing. It absolutely breaks my heart that my step dad has no photos of him as a baby.
All babies are beautiful and I LOVE that you document Davy's life in such a wonderful way. You and Davy are incredible lucky to have each other in this world.
I wish Davy a quick and healthy recovery from surgery and can not wait to see her new smile!

I usually don't click out of the comfort of my Reader to comment, but wanted to let you know that I have been a long time blog follower (love your photos! they sucked me in...). Anyway, my true point: I saw the photo in my Reader and my throat got tight. Prayers for you and your beautiful daughter - her big clefty smile always made my heart melt, but this will help her in so many ways as she grows. Thinking of you and your family!

I am so glad she is HOME! I was happily surprised to read that. Hopefully you can all rest and recover. We sent you a little something in the mail so be on the lookout for it. I started to make Davy something, but it quickly turned into a disaster so I need my mom to help me fix it. We have been praying for Davy and for you and your family. I know it can be stressful for little boys but everything will come out alright.

California DUI: First Offense
If this is your first California DUI offense, you need to hire the best DUI defense attorney that you can. The DMV and the Court will suspend your driver's license immediately when you are arrested for a DUI offense.

The first offense DUI driving on a suspended license carries a MANDATORY 5 days in jail, the second 30 days.
Being arrested for a DUI is overwhelming but do not wait until the court date to get experienced legal help. Let your DUI become our problem, not yours. Call us at (877) 280-9944.
Typical Consequences of a First Offense DUI in California
- 4-12 month license suspension
- Up to six months in jail – 48-hour minimum (typically 5-10 days – depending on the circumstances)
- $1,650 fine and penalties
- 15-week to 6-month drinking driver program
- 3-5 years probation
- 2 points on your driving record
At the Law offices of Lucy S. McAllister, our goal is vigorously to defend Californians who have been charged or accused of criminal offenses, including charges of DUI / DWI (drunk driving) and Traffic Violations.

Editor's note: On Friday, landlinemag.com reported erroneously that four of the five members of Run Team Smart were OOIDA members. We want to clarify that all five Freightliner Run Team Smart members are OOIDA members and apologize for the misinformation.
The drivers are – Henry Albert, a senior member out of Statesville, NC, and members Linda Caffee, Silex, MO; Jeff Clark, Kewaunee, WI; Jimmy Nevarez, of Yorba Linda, CA; and Joey Slaughter, of Ringgold, VA.
The corrected version appears below.
Five OOIDA members picked for 'Run Smart Pros'
Five members of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association will bring their skills and expertise to the digital world as members of Freightliner's "Team Run Smart Pros" program.
Developed by Freightliner Trucks, the program provides five owner-operators with the opportunity to drive a Freightliner Cascadia truck equipped with a Detroit DD15 engine. The drivers will also blog about their impressions of the trucks and engines, as well as offer tips to other drivers on a range of topics, including keeping operating costs low and staying healthy on the road.
All five members have distinguished themselves within in the trucking industry, and represent a diverse cross-section of carriers.
Albert, who owns Albert Transport Inc., hauls general freight primarily on long hauls throughout the U.S. He was recognized as Overdrive Magazine's 2007 Trucker of the Year, and was part of Freightliner's "Slice of Life" blog effort.
"It's an honor to continue with (Freightliner)," he said. "What it started out was a way to introduce a new product. Since then, it's become so much more. It's become a conduit of information, not just from ourselves, but from other drivers we meet."
Caffee and her husband Bob have been team driving for the past eight years. She said she believes one of the most important aspects of the program will be highlighting the diversity of the team members.
"We are actually running an expediter a straight truck, so we come from a little bit of a different segment than the rest of the guys," she said. "I thought they did a fantastic job of picking people not only with different business operations but different places we live. … It doesn't matter what you drive; it has information for everybody. It's not just about Freightliner; it's about truck drivers."
Freightliner Trucks accepted applications from professional drivers to become Team Run Smart Pros, and selected the drivers who had distinguished themselves as industry experts.
"The Team Run Smart Pros were selected based on their amount of knowledge, professionalism and dedication to the industry," Mike McHorse, marketing segment manager, on-highway for Freightliner Trucks said in a press release issued Thursday. "With the addition of these experienced professionals, the Team Run Smart community grows stronger and stands as the definitive guide to helping business-minded drivers succeed and lead healthy lifestyles on the road."
About the Team Run Smart Pros (biographical information courtesy of Freightliner): Henry Albert is the owner of Albert Transport Inc., based in Statesville, N.C., and hauls general freight throughout the United States. Albert, who has been a trucker for more than 25 years, was recognized by Overdrive magazine as its 2007 Trucker of the Year. Albert was part of the Freightliner Trucks "Slice of Life" program, where he blogged about his impressions of the 2010 Freightliner Cascadia and tips for achieving optimal fuel mileage. Albert is involved with the Trucker Buddy program and is a Trucker Buddy Ambassador.
Linda Caffee has had her Class A CDL for 29 years and has been team driving with her husband Bob for the past eight years as Owner Operators out of Silex, MO. Her passion is recruiting new professionals to the trucking industry and helping them to become successful. She is on the Women in Trucking Board of Directors as well as the St. Christopher's Board of Directors. Linda is a founding member of the Trucking Solutions Group and chairperson of the Trucking Solutions Group Driver Health Council. Bob and Linda are involved in the Trucker Buddy program as well as being Trucker Buddy Ambassadors. Linda was selected as one of the 2012 NASTC Drivers of the Year.
Jeff Clark is based in Kewaunee, Wis. and has been involved in the trucking industry for 30 years. He enjoys discussing the business side of trucking and working with customers. An avid runner and bike rider, Clark will also write about healthy living for Team Run Smart. Clark was recognized by Truckers News as its 2008 Highway Health Hero of the Year and has written columns for Truckers News and eTrucker.
Jimmy Nevarez has been in the trucking industry for 11 years following his honorable discharge from the United States military. Based out of Yorba Linda, Calif., Nevarez has a bachelor's degree in business. He owns his own company, Angus Transportation Inc., and will offer insights on how to improve a driver's bottom line. Driving runs in the family for Nevarez; he was heavily influenced by his grandparents, who were team drivers. He is also familiar with recent environmental laws that have come out of California and will write about their impact on the trucking industry.
Joey Slaughter is the owner of Blue Ridge Transport, LLC, an auto carrier based in Ringgold, Va. Since 1992, Joey has operated dry vans, reefers, gasoline tankers, hot shots, doubles and most recently a car hauler. He is also a certified transportation broker, a U.S. Army veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and still serves as a Sergeant Major in the Virginia Army National Guard.

It is never a good idea to dwell on the negatives but I'd like to firstly point out the reality here. In December the US lost over 500,000 full times jobs. This brought the job losses in 2008 to the greatest since World War II (almost 2.6 million). To me, there still seems to be an air of 'it can't happen here' in Australia. Well the sorry news is that it is! As the article "Massive drop in full-time jobs" notes:
"The massive decline in full-time employment, down nearly 44,000 it's a big worry"
The reality is that no matter what business are you in you need to start making changes simply because the environment is changing. Failing to do so may mean you eventually end up failing as well.
As they say,"you can't control your circumstances only your reaction to them". That's why it is important to try and focus on the positive. Every market present opportunities, it is just a matter or recognizing these. In many cases this may mean stepping outside the normal comfort zone, which can sometimes be very hard.
The major secret is that you need to talk with people. Discuss things with your family, friends and your peers. You need to be constantly seeking out people smarter than you and considering their advice. You need to develop goals, short, medium and long if you want to prosper. Most people are happy to help where they can, so take advantage of that to lighten the load. If you put your head in the sand then no-one (including yourself) can help you.
Get out there and starting utilizing and growing your support network.

I love those fabulous birds, Jody. And that warm beach looks pretty inviting tonight as it's cold and rainy here in Michigan!ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by The Marmelade Gypsy the other day! It was nice having you visit.
How fun! I recognized those rocks right away. My sons lived in San Diego (well, Carlsbad) for several years. We took a few trips to La Jolla and the beach. Beautiful! Love those seals!ReplyDelete
Nice birdsReplyDelete

So very beautiful the birds on the rocks and the seals on the beach!ReplyDelete
Shell Beach is so lovely. I was fortunate enough to visit the ocean this Thanksgiving, as Jess lives only 5 minutes from it. What a sweet picture of the birds enjoying the sun. Oh my, look at all those seals! I am very familiar with La Jolla, as I lived in So Cal for two years. No matter where Nel lives, she calls So Cal her home.ReplyDelete
How beautiful, love the name! Shells are one of my favorite things! The seals are just so adorable on the beach!ReplyDelete

Fall Comic Con Survival Guide Part 1: What To Bring
It's the very beginning of October, which can only mean one thing – fall con season is in full swing. We've got a ridiculous amount of conventions coming up across the United States – New York Comic Con, Geek Girls Con, Stan Lee's Comikaze, Blizzcon 2013, Pacific Media Expo, and an insanely long list of local anime cons, various comic cons big and small, and oh my god basically all of the cons you can think of and some you can't. (You're welcome for those links, by the way.) We're not exactly con-going experts, but we have learned a few things about cons, which we will pass on to you guys. While we've got Unique Geek's Nerdy Fashion for Cons, we thought this subject needs a little… more. So, um, yeah… Here's a comprehensive guide on what you should wear, what you should bring, and what you should expect, no matter what con you end up at.

Microsoft and Sun working together!? What next? "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria"!?
Of course, Microsoft Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc., who have a long history of hating each others guts, are not likely to work together for long. I think there were two major, short-term motivations that led the pair to resolve their legal and intellectual-property issues with Microsoft paying Sun a cool $1.6 billion.
The first is that Microsoft needs to get out of legal hot water. While the Department of Justice antitrust trial remedies have amounted to almost nothing in the United States, the European Commission shows every sign of getting ready to hammer Microsoft, and Microsoft hopes this deal will lessen the blow.
As for Sun, its Business 101: They need the money. Even with the $1.6 billion, Sun announced yet another big loss of between $750 million and $810 million for its last quarter and laid off 3,300 more people, amounting to 9 percent of its work force. Sun is one sick company.
Sun, it seems to me, has decided that the cure is not Linux or open source. Instead, Sun hopes to find its answers in getting closer to Microsoft. I know, I know, its like hearing someone say that blacker isnt that much grayer than white, but there you go.
You see, Microsoft and Sun do have two things in common. Linux and open source are eating their lunch, and theyre not sure what to do about it. Of course, Sun is the company thats really feeling that pain now. Sun is losing SPARC and Solaris customers every day to AMD/Intel and Linux providers. But Microsoft didnt become Microsoft by underestimating the competition.
Sun, which has one foot in the open-source community with its Linux-based Java Desktop System (JDS) and OpenOffice, simply doesnt trust Linux or open source for their profits. Why they dont, since their old plans arent working, is beyond me. So it is that Sun goes back and forth on open source and, for the moment, its leaning toward proprietary methods, even if that means cooperating with Microsoft.
I dont see how this move will help Sun in the long run. Sun and Microsoft have too much bad blood between them to ever really work together.
