I love Spring! Don't you? I love all the beautiful flowers that grow and how late the sun stays out. Plus, March is my birthday month, so there is really no reason for me to dislike the season.
In preparation for Spring, I have already started creating lighter and fun eye makeup looks. (Even though I live in Palm Springs and winter has been a solid 75-80 degrees!)
Today's EOTD is a 3-color UD look using their Deluxe Shadow Box. I applied Honey in the inner corner and about 1/2 way on lid, Fishnet on the outer half, and Graffiti on the bottom lid.
As in all my eye makeup, I don't apply color to my lower waterline. Some people have asked why. Short answer: irritation and allergies. My eyes are watery, and even if makeup on my waterline didn't irritate my eyes, makeup there would be gone by noon because of my watery eyes. So I just skip it.
Can't wait to create more for Spring!

Cultural concepts are always fuzzy, but that doesn't make them useless. We may never know the exact beginning or end of Romanticism or the Gilded Age, or where lies the line between art and entertainment, or what distinguishes great talent from genius. But that doesn't make those concepts hollow, just fluid and approximate.
A new entertaining and insightful exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery confronts one of the most dynamic and hard to define concepts in American cultural life — the cool. "American Cool" broaches its subject through photographs of people who helped define and embody the cool since before the idea had even taken definite form, to the current day when it is highly questionable if the "cool" is still meaningful. If you want to know how porous the category is, consider all of the following, officially inducted into the realms of the cool by this exhibition: Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, H.L. Mencken, Buster Keaton, Jackson Pollock and Susan Sontag. They join artists, entertainers and celebrities who are more traditionally and obviously defined as cool: Lester Young (who plays the central historical role in defining and promoting the idea of cool), Humphrey Bogart (the first and greatest mass-market embodiment of the cool) and Jack Kerouac (who helped export the cool from jazz to broader countercultural application).
To govern what seems at first like a highly subjective free-for-all, curators Joel Dinerstein and Frank H. Goodyear III laid down a four-part test for each of the 100 people included. First, they must have made an original artistic contribution, with a signature style; second, they must have in some way been rebellious or transgressive; third, they must have iconic status; and fourth, they must have left a significant cultural legacy. But even those parameters can't contain the many things we think are definitional about the cool, the aura of mystery, the stoical indifference to criticism, the attitude of self- possession, and seemingly superficial yet important questions of dress and personal style. In a catalog essay accompanying the exhibition, Dinerstein piles on with yet more things that are the opposite of cool: "To be cool is not to be nice or good or heroic; cool is the opposite of innocence or virtue. Cool has an edge and a dark side: to be cool is not to strive to be fabulous . . . or saintly."
Dinerstein is, among other things, a scholar of jazz, and Goodyear has a degree in American studies, and so they present the cool as essentially a pop culture phenomenon, and distinctly American. Other cultures have similar ideas — nonchalance, sangfroid, sprezzatura — but they are not "cool." Sprezzatura dates back to Castiglione's "Book of the Courtier," which prized a seemingly effortless virtuosity in all things, from art to social behavior. Sangfroid is distinctly French, a sense of composure and equilibrium, especially under fire.
These are, according to the curators, concepts derived from aristocratic entitlement, whereas American cool is generally working class, an "earned individuality" rather than an inherited sense of self-worth. Perhaps, though the aristocratic definition of these ideas was breaking down around the same time that this exhibition posits the origins of the cool. Walt Whitman — the first personality featured in the exhibition, which calls him "the guiding light of American bohemia" — published "Leaves of Grass" in 1855; in 1844, Alexandre Dumas began serializing "The Count of Monte Cristo," in which a self-made working-class young man assumes an aristocratic name and character to exact revenge on his enemies. Few characters in literature are more suave, self-possessed, disciplined, eccentric and alluring — in a word, cool. And none of that was technically inherited.
But the authors have a point. In America, at least, cool is distinctly lower or middle class, reflecting its origins in African American culture, where it was a compensation mechanism for living under the brutal regime of racism. When Lester Young said "I'm cool," writes Dinerstein, "it meant 'I'm keeping it together in here against invasive social forces.'" Frederick Douglass, whose oratory was fiery, not cool, merits inclusion in the exhibition because, according to Goodyear, he used a carefully constructed photographic identity to challenge preconceptions about race and African American men. "Though he lived prior to cool's popularization, his cultivation of this mask of stylish stoicism presaged the rebellions of others who sought to live within yet also apart from the mainstream."
Stylish stoicism is an excellent phrase. But as the exhibition charts the historical evolution of the cool, "stylish stoicism" fits less well with the later, countercultural appropriation of the cool. Transgression becomes more important than style and talent, even directionless, purposeless, self-destructive transgression. When Marlon Brando's character in the 1953 film "The Wild One" is asked "Hey, Johnny, what are you rebelling against?" and he answers, "Whaddaya got?" — the cool has clearly gone through a critical permutation. Brando is, of course, featured in the exhibition, looking sad, innocent and distracted in a 1950 image by Philippe Halsman.
The exhibition situates this evolution of the cool in the period from 1960 t0 1979, but it was clearly nascent earlier than that. "Cool & Counterculture: 1960-1979" is one of the most fascinating and provocative stretches of the show, including diverse figures from Andy Warhol and Paul Newman to Jack Nicholson and Bill Murray. One particularly evocative juxtaposition places a reprint of a 1966 photograph of Muhammad Ali with his fist thrust directly into the camera lens next to a 1971 image of Clint Eastwood, holding an enormous handgun in a visually analogous confrontation with the viewer. Clearly the concept has become elastic if it can encompass a black boxer playfully enacting an aggressive identity and a white actor appealing to working class (and often racist) fantasies of public order and vigilantism.
The exhibition ends with what it calls "The Legacies of Cool: 1980-present." Here we find David Byrne (definitely cool), Steve Jobs (geek cool), Willie Nelson (long-haired, hippie stoner cool) and Jon Stewart (really?). Perhaps the most telling image is a photograph of skateboarder Tony Hawk, doing a move in his kitchen. His young son sits at the kitchen counter while his wife cradles a baby. The dishwasher is open, there are decorative plates above the standard-issue wooden cupboards and the whole thing screams suburbia. The wall text notes his success as an entrepreneur, with a popular line of sports equipment and a video game series. In an interview Dinerstein acknowledged that old ideas about transgression may not be so important any more. What matters now is "new strategies for individuality."
The exhibition is heavily focused on celebrity, though there are some surprises (the Hawaiian surfer Duke Paoa Kahanamoku appears in a circa 1915 photograph). But as the concept of the cool becomes more and more open-ended, it's unfortunate that it isn't extended further beyond popular music and film. Susan Sontag definitely seems a worthy inclusion, but are there no classical musicians, ballet dancers or post-structuralist philosophers who are cool? Was the great violinist Jascha Heifetz cool? Or just cold? Was the literary theorist Jacques Derrida cool? Or just inscrutable?
It's also unfortunate that the cool isn't treated more critically as a concept. There is a dark side of cool, dumb, impassive, disengaged, dismissive and even violent (see the oeuvre of Quentin Tarantino). Think of the phrase "too cool for school," and all that implies. Although "geek" cool makes a brief appearance in the person of Jobs (on a motorcycle), the rise of geeks and nerds as positive cultural archetypes may be a sign of a healthy resistance against the stupid underbelly of cool. As much as this exhibition celebrates the American invention and export of cool, one might argue that the fetish for cool is really just a sign of our overwhelmingly narcissistic provincialism.
Dinerstein and Goodyear would, no doubt, argue strenuously with all that, as a misinterpretation of the concept. But again, that's the beauty and appeal of cultural concepts: They are as useful as they are spongy, and all the more fascinating for their essential fluidity.
"American Cool" opens at the National Portrait Gallery on Friday. For more information visit npg.si.edu.

"Civilization looks upon such exhibitions probably in the same light as the Romans looked upon their holidays, when gladiators met in the arena to split skulls."
— The Florida Metropolis, a Jacksonville evening newspaper, 1917
— "Professor" Reddish wowed his fans by riding down a ramp and diving off a pier into the sea.
— A.M. "Max" Schreyer, known as "Daredevil" Schreyer, would cycle down a chute, propel himself from the bicycle just before it left the chute and dive into a tank of water.
— French-born Mademoiselle D'Zizi, like Schreyer, rode a bicycle down a steep ramp curved upward at the end and jumped over six elephants to a ramp on the other side of the pachyderms. The feat was billed as "a Dare Devil Ride Above a Yawning Death Arch."
— Conn Baker of Columbus, Ohio, known as "Diavolo," Italian for devil, was said to be the first person to perfect a "loop-the-loop" using a safety bicycle for the Adam Forepaugh & Sells Bros. Circus, which called the stunt "the veritable cap-sheaf of all hazardous exploits."
— Charles H. Kabrich, who billed himself as "the only bike-chute aeronaut," ascended by balloon astride a bicycle and then parachuted back to earth while performing acrobatics on the bike.
Whenever a new means of human conveyance came along — the hot-air balloon, the automobile, the aeroplane — daredevils stepped forward to push the new contraption to its limits, and usually make some money doing it.
From the 1890s into the early 20th century, the machine of choice was the bicycle.
These daring entrepreneurs were celebrated in their time, but are almost completely forgotten today.
I first learned of their existence while trolling the Internet for vintage bicycle advertisements to display on this blog. I came across an 1896 poster of Kabrich performing his "novel and thrilling bicycle parachute act," became intrigued and began looking for others like him. (See April 14 post, "The bike-chute aeronaut.")
So far, I've found information on Reddish, Schreyer, D'Zizi, Baker and Kabrich. But I'm sure there were many more such bicycling daredevils.
— "Professor" Reddish, whose first name eludes me, was a specialist in a stunt called "flying the foam," which he performed regularly in the first decade of the 20th century in Brighton, a resort town on England's south coast. The stunt involved riding a bicycle down a steep ramp and then off the end of Brighton's West Pier into the sea. Archive footage from the British Film Institute shows Reddish performing the stunt at Brighton in 1906. (See below.)
— Kabrich's stunt combined the hot-air balloon, a conveyance of a previous generation, with the bicycle, the faddish mode of locomotion of his day. I could find almost nothing about Kabrich. The only hits that turn up in searches on the Internet are about the cool poster illustrating his feat and where to buy it. Some vendors even offer the image on a T-shirt. Perhaps Kabrich was able to perform his stunt only once and that's the reason for his obscurity.
"Most of the hot air balloons used in stunts were very dangerous," says a Web page of Florida International University on balloons and airships.
"Unlike earlier balloons, which were built better and carried their heat source, these balloons used in stunts were held over bonfires trapping the heated air and then lifting off. Many of the barnstormers were killed or injured when their balloons ripped apart, cooled off too fast, or burst into flames. For the most part, the end of the nineteenth century saw the end of the balloonist performing stunts."
— Baker, who used the stage name J.C. Carter, aka Diavolo, honed his skills as a bicycle racer as a teen-ager in the 1880s before perfecting his signature stunt, the loop-the-loop, which entailed speeding down a long incline into a 360-degree loop, counting on his speed and centrifugal force to keep him from dropping from the top of the loop.
He joined the Forepaugh & Sells Circus in 1901 and later toured Asia, where he met his future wife, Laura Calvert, a member of the Tiller Girls troupe, which was also touring in India. The Tiller Girls, formed by John Tiller in Manchester, England, were a high-kicking dance group akin to today's Rockettes of Radio City Music Hall.
Here's how the New York Sun, of April 3, 1902, described Diavolo's act at Madison Square Garden:
"The most remarkable feature of this year's circus exhibition was of course that of Diavolo, the loop the loop bicyclist. There was generally a pervasive idea inside and outside Madison Square Garden that his first performance would be his last. In fact there were two ambulances from the city hospitals present, one containing six surgeons who were anxious to have the first opportunity of examining the prospective corpse, and one filled high with air cushions on which Diavolo was to be carried in state, with so much life as remained in him, to Bellevue.
"At about 10 o'clock the circus band began a series of long ruffles, which ended with the start of Diavolo for the bottom of his hair-raising convoluted incline. The rider, dressed in a suit of coruscating red scales like any unreformed devil, mounted a wheel high up under the uppermost incandescent lights which lined the roof of the Garden, and at a signal slid like lightning down to the tanbark and then, on the inside of an exaggerated barrel hoop 37 feet in diameter, up and around, himself upside down at the top and held to the track by the centrifugal force of his wheel, coming out right side up again on the down grade and caught finally in nets prepared to arrest his progress."
— Mlle. D'Zizi is one of the subjects of a 2007 children's book Women Daredevils: Thrills, Chills, and Frills, written by Julia Cummins and illustrated by Cheryl Harness.
The book describes her act for the Walter L. Main Circus this way: "At a terrific clip, she rode a bicycle down a long and steeply inclined ramp that turned up at the bottom, like an upside-down candy cane. She sailed up and out across a fifty-five-foot gap in which six elephants stood side by side, and landed safely on the ramp on the other side."
— The stunt of Max Schreyer was described in 1917 by the Florida Metroplis — with perhaps a touch of hyperbole — as "the most daring and thrilling feat ever attempted by man."
Schreyer came to Jacksonville in February 1917 for a gala weekend to open Rose Field, a ballpark for the Randolph Rose Athletic Association, which fielded a team in the South Atlantic League called the Jacksonville Roses. Besides Schreyer, the featured performer, the attractions included band concerts and a 10-mile foot race.
"Schreyer's feat is wonderful in more ways than one," Arnold Heidt wrote for the Florida Metropolis. "In the first place, it goes to show just how far a person will go to satisfy a morbid public curiosity to see men risk their lives."
Local accounts described Schreyer's task this way: Ride a bicycle down a narrow chute from a tower 110 feet in the air, pick up speed on the downward part of the chute — angled at 35 degrees — and then swoop upward off the curved end of the chute. Just before the bike left the chute, he had to propel himself from the machine and dive forward in a graceful arc to land headfirst in a water-filled tank 100 feet from the end of the chute. The chute was built afresh of timber at every venue, according to Wikipedia.
"Schreyer says anybody could do it," Heidt wrote. "But not just anybody wants to try."
After the preliminaries building up to the featured attraction, the Florida Times-Union reported, Schreyer made his way up eight ladders, end to end, to the top of the frail chute. A splendid crowd on a splendid day watched the lone rider high in the sky pause precariously as a breeze appeared ready to topple the swaying tower.
"He squinted down the long platform, made a bow and mounted his bicycle," the Times-Union reported. "Quick as a flash he started the downward trip. Everybody held their breath.
"Then a hurtling form rose high in the air and gracefully as a swallow turned over and fell in the pool, head foremost. Laughing and squirting water from his mouth, the daredevil came up and swam out."
Schreyer performed his feat for the last time in May 1919 in New York's Van Cortlandt Park before 20,000 people, including his wife and infant son. He struck the side of the tank and was badly injured. He died a few days later in Fordham Hospital.
In their day, Schreyer and his fellow daredevils were probably household names. Schreyer, for example, had a career lasting nearly a quarter-century. He performed all over the United States, in Canada and in such European capitals as Paris and London.
He even had a march dedicated to him. In 1902, composer Laurent J. Tonnelle dedicated his Dare Devil March and Two Step "To my friend A.M. Schreyer, Mile a Minute Aerial Cyclist in his Dare Devil ride 'Down the Chute.'"
By the time of Schreyer's death, World War I had closed down many European venues and the automobile and the aeroplane were spawning a new generation of daredevils. He may have been the last of his bicycling breed.

The Republican attorneys general of six states, Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia, all signed a brief asking the Supreme Court to gut the Affordable Care Act. Yet one of the central claims in this brief — a claim that cuts to the heart of whether the Supreme Court should shred much of Obamacare or leave it intact — is at odds with a pile of evidence to the contrary. This evidence includes explicitly contradictory statements from the Republican governors of several states, including three of the states represented by these six attorneys general. And the six attorneys general were unable to muster any contrary evidence that supports their central claim.
This weakness in their case is unlikely to be unnoticed by the justices, however, as a brief filed Wednesday by a much larger group of state officials rounds up much of the considerable evidence undercutting the six Republican attorneys general's claim.
To explain, the Affordable Care Act explicitly says that states should have "flexibility" to decide whether they want to operate health exchanges where their residents can buy health insurance, or whether the federal government should operate an exchange for them. Nevertheless, a lawsuit called King v. Burwell alleges that the residents of states who chose the second option lose access to tax credits intended to help them pay for insurance. If this lawsuit prevails, 13 million people, many of them children, could become uninsured.
To prevail, however, the plaintiffs in King must do more than simply show that they have discovered the best way to read Obamacare's text. Under the Supreme Court's decision in Pennhurst State School and Hospital v. Halderman, a state cannot be bound by an alleged condition tucked into a federal grant program "if a State is unaware of the conditions or is unable to ascertain what is expected of it." Rather, when Congress says that it will only pay out money if a state takes a particular action, the Supreme Court insists "that Congress speak with a clear voice." Thus, if there is uncertainty about how to read the law, that uncertainty must be resolved against the plaintiffs' reading and in favor of the view that the law does not make tax credits conditional upon anything.
And that's not all the bad news for the King plaintiffs. Under the Supreme Court's opinion in Arlington Central School District v. Murphy, the question of whether a state is able to ascertain whether federal money comes with conditions must be evaluated "from the perspective of a state official who is engaged in the process of deciding whether the State should accept . . . the obligations that go with those funds." Thus, if there is a wealth of evidence showing that state officials did not read Obamacare in the same way the King plaintiffs do — and it turns out that there is — that evidence also cuts strongly against a decision for the plaintiffs in King.
The brief filed by the six Republican attorneys general appears designed to address this weakness in the plaintiffs' argument. It claims that state officials were "well aware" that the Affordable Care Act "conditioned the availability of tax credits on States establishing exchanges," although it cites no actual evidence to support this claim.
On Wednesday, a much larger bloc of 22 states plus the District of Columbia filed their own brief opposing the King plaintiffs' attempt to cut of tax credits. After reading that brief, it is not hard to guess why the smaller group of anti-Obamacare attorneys general were not able to muster any evidence for their position — there are piles of evidence demonstrating that the six attorneys general are simply wrong about how state officials understood the law.
Recall that the six attorneys general who filed in opposition to Obamacare include officials from Nebraska, South Carolina, Georgia, West Virginia and Oklahoma.
- In Nebraska, Republican Gov. Dave Heineman explained his decision to allow the federal government to set up his state's exchange by stating that "[o]n the key issues, there is no real operational difference between a federal exchange and a state exchange."
- In South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley wrote that "[b]y refusing to implement state-based exchanges, the state is ceding nothing," a statement that is incompatible with the view that the state was actually ceding tax credits for its citizens.
- In Georgia, an advisory committee established by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal determined that "Georgians will be eligible for [tax credits under Obamacare] whether the AHBE in Georgia is established by the state or federal government." When Deal announced that his state would not set up its own exchange, deal made no mention of whether tax credits would be available, though he did complain about "Obamacare's one-size fits all approach," an approach which suggests that the law would operate similarly in every state.
- In West Virginia, according to the brief by the pro-Obamacare states, "State officials answered 'yes' in June 2012 to the question 'Will individuals who are enrolled in coverage through a Federally facilitated Exchange have access to premium tax credits.'"
- Only in Oklahoma is there any evidence that state officials might have thought that tax credits were unavailable in federally-run exchanges. There, Attorney General Scott Pruitt (R) brought a similar challenge to Obamacare to the one advanced by the King plaintiffs, and Gov. Mary Fallin (R) cited her support for this lawsuit when she announced her decision not to operate a state-run exchange. Nevertheless, Fallin contradicted herself in a 2013 press release entitled "Governor Fallin Announces Extension of Insure Oklahoma." That press release explains that "[t]hose individuals above 100 percent of the Federal Poverty Level qualify for the federal Health Insurance Marketplace and related advance premium tax credits, which will be offered to individuals and families earning up to 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level."
Nor is this the extent of the evidence showing that state officials were not "well aware" that they risked losing tax credits if they did not set up their own exchange. Virginia's Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell said that he was unaware of any "clear benefits of a state run exchange to our citizens." Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker said that "there's no real substantive difference between a federal exchange, or a state exchange." A brief filed by the governors or attorneys general of 24 states the last time the fate of Obamacare was before the Supreme Court explained that the law "can only operate in the manner that Congress intended" if the tax credits are "intact."
On Tuesday, the Washington Post's Greg Sargent quoted multiple state officials who explained that the subject of whether a state risked tax credits by opting for a federally-run exchange never even came up. Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, a Republican, told Sargent that "[t]he discussion was never about what happens to the subsidies." Rather, "[h]ad it occurred to us that not doing a state exchange would somehow jeopardize citizens in Kansas being eligible for subsides, we would have made that argument loud and clear. And we never did. It never entered our minds."
Similarly, Cindi Jones was appointed by Virginia's McDonnell to lead the governor's Virginia Health Reform Initiative panel. Jones told Sargent that "[t]here was no discussion at any meeting that one of the reasons we would want to do a state based exchange was that it would be the only way we would get subsidies."
Now, however, the plaintiffs in King and the six attorneys general who support them want the justices to believe that states were "well aware" that many of their citizens would lose their ability to afford health insurance if the state elected for a federally-run exchange. This claim simply cannot be squared with the clearly stated views of multiple state officials, all of whom were "engaged in the process of deciding whether the State" should set up its own exchange, and many of whom are Republicans.

I am Wondering how quickly we can make a difference ! samsung did.
I had downloaded Samsung bada SDK a week ago. Installed the SDK in my Home PC.
Its a Eclipse based bada IDE, and Look and Feel is great, and the Workbench loaded so quickly with the SDK Samples on the right.
I can right click copy a sample into my workspace, I did copied the SimpleTwitter sample, and Started Building and Running it.
Now here you go, my Emulator is UP and My Application is on Display. !!
All the src and includes and Icons and resource files and maifest.xml are so handy.
to give you some more backgroud information, Samsung will ask you to create a unique application profile with a application name from their site, and it issues an application ID and generates a manifest.xml, you can copy that into your workspace, in order to secure your Project name and API Usage.
These is been some Paid APIs are displayed in the samsung dashboard like AMAZON etc.
I recently heard about a Developer Challenge from Samsung, Worth upto 300000 USD.

I recently had the privilege of sharing with associates that I'm proud to work for a company that isn't afraid to transform. With the pride that I have for Sears Holdings, focusing on my best comes naturally, whether that's in building relationships with those who I work with, helping our members or explaining our company's transformation to my family and friends. I shop our stores and I'm always willing to help out a member while I'm there. The work that I do in marketing, technology and operations touches our stores and our members. It's important that I understand what we're doing well and how I can help improve the member experience.
Sears Holdings' most important goal in 2016 is returning the company to profitability. Internally, we talk about "Focusing on Our Best" to support that goal – focusing on our Best Members, our Best Stores and Our Best Categories. Associates also apply the mantra to themselves: how can I focus on my best? My team and I are constantly focused on doing our Best to support this goal.
When you're going through transformation, you have to understand what the company is trying to achieve. We're doing amazing, innovative work and we're scaling our organization for the future. There are a lot of critics who want to see us fail or don't understand what we are trying to achieve. You have to block out that noise, hunker down and focus on what you're trying to accomplish. I give that advice to everyone I work with. It might seem obvious, but when you get to work on the tasks that support the company's transformation, you know you're making an impact and adding value.
Latoya Conners Gray is the Senior Director, Marketing Technology and Operations for Sears Holdings.

Anyone who claims, "A good man is hard to find," hasn't ever searched for a decent sandwich. In my experience, there are few things more elusive than a truly excellent sandwich. It's amazing how something so seemingly simple is so easily messed up by misguided chefs. Needless to say, a fine balance of quality ingredients is important, but so are complementary bread and condiments, and, if appropriate, cheese. A good sandwich might require gentle heating or full-on toasting to reach perfection and the intrepid sandwich monger should know exactly what temperature best behooves his or her creation. Finally, architecture is key: a pleasantly messy sandwich can make for an entertaining lunch, but a sandwich totally falling apart leads swiftly to disgust and dissatisfaction.
Can you tell I have high standards for sandwiches?
This code of conduct for sandwiches is why I most often make my own at home, and, perhaps, why I only think a handful of places (Hobbit Café, Mainely Sandwiches, Kenny & Ziggy's, Brown Bag Deli) offer a consistently good variety. And please don't even say the word "Subway" in my presence.
For those reasons, I was more than a bit skeptical of Bowl Café. Their slogan, "More Than Just a Salad," also didn't help assuage my cynicism because taglines of that sort ("More Than Just Pizza!" or "More Than Just Burgers") are usually advertised by otherwise monomaniacal establishments in a cheap attempt to seem more diverse than they really are.
The "more" connected to Bowl Café, I soon found out, refers not only to a fairly impressive selection of sandwiches but also to the presence of thin-crust pizza. A recent trip to Pink's meant I wasn't in the mood for the latter, but I was very keen on trying some of the creative sandwiches. The build-your-own option definitely appealed to my inner control freak, but if I really wanted to design my own sandwich I would have eaten at home. So, in the spirit of discovering new combinations (designed by other people), I tried a half each of the "El Capitan" (prosciutto, brie, basil, honey on French bread) and the smoked salmon sandwich, which combined buttery hard-boiled egg bits, tomato, and capers on dark rye with a rather unorthodox flavor of cream cheese (lemon). Because the summer heat had not yet abated, I asked for my El Capitan only slightly toasted and I am happy to report this modification did not screw with my tasting experience. In fact, at room temperature the brie was delightfully pungent and certainly up to standing toe to toe with the equally rich prosciutto. The basil and honey added a botanical sweetness that in turn balanced the saltier meat and cheese, while the crackly bread provided some variant texture. Absolutely delicious.
Less impressive was the smoked salmon sandwich. The rye bread proved a poor container for the sloppy fillings and the lox was a bit dry, which necessitated alternating bites with swigs of some diet soda for lubrication. A surprise hit, however, was the lemon cream cheese, whose tart citrus notes paired terrifically with the tangy caper berries.
On other visits to Bowl Café, I have tried and liked salads such as the lovely "Montrose" (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, pears, apples, walnuts, jack cheese, tomatoes, avocado and mixed greens), but in comparison the sandwiches shine brighter. Which then makes me think "Bowl Café" is misnamed since its best items are not eaten with a spoon. But then maybe they'll use it as an excuse to serve ice cream as well…

Prior to leaving on my Costa Rica trip, I jotted down several writing prompts from "642 Things to Write About" which my brother gave me for Christmas. I had planned to write everyday, but I didn't; at least not in regards to the prompts.
In my attempt to become a better writer, jump start my creativity, and find a healthy outlet to stress I have decided to engage in a little experiment. Blog one prompt a day for the next 60 days. A few ground rules:
- Pick the prompt at random; basically open the book up and write on the first prompt I see
- Do not delete anything. Crossing out is allowed. This will help to engage my stream of conscious while also helping me see my own creative process.
- Write on each prompt for 30 minutes
Start date: Monday, June 16, 2014
End date: Tuesday, August 14, 2014 (three days before my 29th birthday!)
See y'all on Monday!

Mrs. Claus Ain't Got Nothing On Me and a Photo Dump
This song by Little Jackie is my absolute favorite Christmas song. Take a listen and see for yourself.
Love Imani Coppola. She's been around for a while. The Legend of a Cowgirl…one of my favorite songs. Okay enough about my music tastes.
Last week we blasted full steam ahead with Christmas and Gingerbread Men. Here's a little of what we've been up to.
This was a number sense activity at my math station this week. The students were given 10 gingerbread men and they decided on two colors of icing. The tray is made out of foil and I taped two handles on either side.
The week before that we completed a Ten Scoops number sense activity. I have found that spending time on number sense and knowing all the parts of 5-10 has really helped my students.
Usually when I introduce missing parts I'm tearing my hair out. This year it went smooth like butta because they have internalized those parts of the numbers 5-10. This year I am committed to allowing my students to really delve into and understand number and it's truly paying off.
On Monday we completed our weekly graph. Every year after we return from Thanksgiving I always ask "Is Your Christmas Tree Up Yet?" After we answered the graph and completed our individual graphs the students were given a Christmas tree. They had to find a combination of ten ornaments. We used regular sticky dots. I think they turned out great!
This week we also worked on The Glyph Girls Christmas stocking. On Friday they completed a quick writing activity to go with their stocking. First they wrote about what they wanted in their Christmas stocking, then they had to write about what they would put into a loved one's stocking.
I had to take a picture of the one below. This student glued the nose a little to far down. When they moved the nose up it looked like the mouse had bright red lipstick. Too cute!
I'll be back next week with more Christmas happenings! I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed week ahead!

Series 7 has begun, and what a series it is. For those that haven't yet seen it, I'll remain spoilerless, but it sure as hell has given us some new inspiration for Fallout Who Vegas.
So, where are we? What have we been doing?
Good questions.
As per usual, Real Life rules the roost (no job means no food and no electricity, which means no project and no release), so obviously working life takes priority.
So where are we with the ever ongoing Fallout Who Vegas?
We're back to square one, that's where.
This isn't a bad thing...
I'll go over a demo of Build 1 in the coming weeks so you can see what could have been. A long forgotten UNIT installation, a carnival of monsters and mysterious experiments led to inexorably a poorly strung together narrative and incredibly difficult to manage level system which resulted in days and weeks of struggle and labour.
After mulling things over with Spyduck, we sat down and agreed to begin on a Build 2. Taking the best parts from Build 1, what went well, what went excellently, and essentially incorporating them into a Build 2.
So what's the point of Build 2?
- A more streamlined Quest. Rough, complicated narrative edges sawn off completely to provide a smoother story without the Moffat law-bending antics of storytelling (but still holding great inspiration from the genius himself)
- Quicker. On first playthrough, Build 1 lasted around 45 minutes, and that's with knowing how to complete the many puzzles and sub-objectives each level contained. Our Closed Beta testers took on average around 8 - 10 hours in accumulated playtime to get from map 1 to map 5, warts and all. This was down to map size and complexity of plot. This heralded many issues for us as designers to try and ensure there was reason to the great length of time it took to traverse the maps.
- Delivery. As always, I've stressed since FWV's inception that after the mistakes made with The Last Child of Gallifrey, it's Fallout 3 Predecessor, I wanted to ensure a quality assured and fun mod to play through. With fine tuned maps and compelling puzzles, we're able to package this in a shorter but more concentrated release (which will allow us to focus on delivering episode 2 and the TARDIS a lot quicker)
So all in all, that's where we are. We've taken entire chunks from Build 1 and layered them into Build 2 (specifically the Silurians sequence, which took almost 2 months to design, script and map - which is frankly, too much work to lose).
The original plot remains the same, but this time, we've dumbed it down.
Instead of being given the mystery at face value, your expected to work for your answers. Who are you? Where are you? How did you leave the Mojave and so on.
So with work proceeding at a steady nod, expect a demo 'Lets Play' of Build 1 to be released in the coming weeks.
Until then,
Demeggy and Spyduck

it is a map key, like a survey marker for modern cartography but this is an ancient method! These are all over Colorado, Utah, NM, AZ & OK though most are on private property and go unnoticed. The key to deciphering is in wooden dowell rods in each hole along with a second stone that should determine this stones mathematics. Reffer to Carl Monck Code 1994.ReplyDelete

The International Gaming Expo is one of the largest and most attended gaming conferences and expos all year. Now, I didn't necessarily say it was one of the best, for depending on who you speak to, IGE can something be a hit or miss. Being that IGE is so large it can be easy getting lost in the sea of gaming BSB so to speak, catering to everything from brick'n mortar casino slots to backend payment solutions for online casinos.
It makes sense then that a distinct networking party just for the online gambling community has taken place at IGE over the last several years. Called "Fire & Ice", the massive networking party (which generally has less networking than partying) primarily caters to online gambling affiliates, yet brings together everyone from online casino operators to media suppliers. The latest of these party's is just now winding down – the after parties that is 🙂 – having went down at London's Stable's Market in Camden Town last Wednesday, January 27th.
As usual, Fire & Ice 2010 was organized by Lyceum Media, but this time around received help from Calvin Ayre – the dynamic duo did a tremendous job hyping up the Bacchanalian themed party in the final weeks leading up to the IGE in London. Needless to say, Fire & Ice has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2002 with less than 100 online gaming professionals in attendance.
And while the tone of the party has always been one of "balls to the wall", most attendees will agree the 2010 Fire & Ice was one of the wildest and most decadently extravagant yet. Lyceum and Mr. Ayre certainly had a lot to live up to considering the press release for the party went, "Mere imagination cannot prepare you for what's in store. Sex, Depravity and Anarchy will rule into the depths of the night, provocative dark twists will unfold and reveal what made the Romans ban the Bacchanalia thousands of years ago." Now, does that sound like a party or what?
I've certainly been to my fair share of online gambling affiliate parties. Montreal and Amsterdam take the cake, if you ask me. And the truth of the matter is that many of these networking parties are less exciting than a 50 year high school reunion. Now, I wasn't at this year's Fire & Ice (God knows the affiliate managers were hunting us down), but I do have to say that judging from the feedback, it looks like it was a good time.
By the looks of the pictures now posted on Lyceum Media's website (http://www.lyceummedia.com/?page_id=16) a good time was indeed had by all, although I'm sure the best of the best good times were had out of the view of media photographers if you know what I mean. Let's face it. In the end, the Roman deity wine and revelry, Bacchus, was quite pleased. The booze flowed like a river (thanks to sponsors GTECH G2, Cake Network, Bluff Europe, Intralot Interactive and Lyceum), there was dancing from the floor to the roof (ala aerial acrobats and a live cabaret), and plenty of sexy Bacchanalian babes adorning London's pristine Gilgamesh Bar. Man, I wish I was there after all. Oh well, knowing Lyceum, they will probably come up with something even better next year.

They attended the relocation and release of a 4-week old kiwi. The children named the baby kiwi 'Shya', at this stage, it has not been determined if it is a boy or girl. The children watched on as a tracking unit was attached and were then able to give the little bird a friendly pat to welcome it to our area and introduce Shya to her school mascot.
Our school is involved with the Kiwi Forever/Nest Egg Programme with a group of 8 students representing the school and working with Naomi from DOC and Renae from Wairakei Golf Course and Sanctuary.
We only put two plants in the unit as a trial. The results are outstanding with beautiful sweet fruit being grown.
Sadly for most, the Enviro Group members eat them before they even leave the tunnel.
This one survived long enough to get a photo.
We are definitely putting more plants in.

Strawberry - one of many!
Healthy growth

July 19, 2010
PATTI ANN COPPES, PLAINTIFF,v.WACHOVIA MORTGAGE CORPORATION AND WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., AND DOES 1 THROUGH 40, DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Garland E. Burrell, Jr. United States District Judge
Plaintiff filed an application for a temporary restraining order ("TRO") on Friday, July 16, 2010 at 5:07 p.m., in which she seeks to enjoin Defendants "from conducting the trustee's sale scheduled to occur on July 20, 2010, or any other such trustee's sale under that certain Deed of Trust against [the] real property [located at] 8748 Robben Rd., Dixon CA 95620, County of Solano." (Ex Parte Application 2:5-8.) Plaintiff stated in her application that her TRO would be heard at 8:15 a.m. on Monday, July 19, 2010. A Minute Order issued on July 16 vacating the hearing time since Plaintiff failed to provide sufficient opportunity for the Court to consider her application. Defendant Wachovia Mortgage ("Wachovia") filed an opposition to Plaintiff's application Sunday evening on July 18, 2010.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 governs the issuance of a TRO. "A plaintiff seeking a [TRO] must establish that [she] is likely to succeed on the merits, that [she] is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in [her] favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest." Am. Trucking Ass'n, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 559 F.3d 1046, 1052 (9th Cir. 2009) (quoting Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., --- U.S. ----, 129 S.Ct. 365, 374, (2008)); see also Stuhlbarg Intern. Sales Co., Inc. v. John D. Brushy and Co., Inc., 240 F.3d 832, 839 n.7 (9th Cir. 2001) (stating the standards for issuing a TRO are "substantially identical" to those for issuing a preliminary injunction); Pimentel v. Deutsche Bank Nat. Trust Co., 2009 WL 3398789,*1 (S.D. Cal. 2009) (stating that "[t]emporary restraining orders are governed by the same standard applicable to preliminary injunctions") (citation omitted). Further, "[i]n considering a motion for a temporary restraining order, the Court will consider whether the applicant could have sought relief by motion for preliminary injunction at an earlier date without the necessity for seeking last-minute relief by motion for temporary restraining order. Should the Court find that the applicant unduly delayed in seeking injunctive relief, the Court may conclude that the delay . . . contradicts the applicant's allegations of irreparable injury and may deny the motion solely on [that] ground." E.D. Cal. R. 231(b).
Plaintiff argues she will suffer irreparable injury since "[i]f the Plaintiff and [her] family are forced to move . . . [they] will lose their home and be required to uproot . . . to another place." (P. & A. in Supp. of Application 8:4-7.) However, Plaintiff has not shown why she "could [not] have sought relief by motion for preliminary injunction at an earlier date without the necessity for seeking last-minute relief by motion for [a TRO]." E.D. Cal. R. 231(b). Plaintiff's application indicates she has been aware of Defendants' desire to initiate foreclosure proceedings on Plaintiff's property, at a minimum, since March 12, 2010, when Plaintiff alleges she received a Notice of Default. (Compl. ¶ 21; Coppes Decl. ¶ 12.) Plaintiff also states in her Application "Defendants issued a Notice of Sale on June 13, 2010." (P. & A. in Supp. of Application 7:22-24; see also Compl ¶ 35 (alleging Defendants sent Plaintiff the Notice of Sale on June 16, 2010).) Further, Plaintiff's counsel declares he notified Defendants of Plaintiff's intention to seek a TRO on July 13, 2010, a week before the trustee's sale. (Abdallah Decl. ¶ 2.) Nonetheless, Plaintiff did not seek injunctive relief until 5:07 p.m. on Friday, July 16, 2010, one Court day before the scheduled sale of her property. Plaintiff has not explained why she waited nearly one month after filing her complaint on June 17, 2010 to file her TRO application.
Wachovia includes with its opposition a declaration from Michael Barnas, the Vice President of Loan Documentation for Wachovia Mortgage, who is responsible for overseeing foreclosure proceedings for borrowers like Plaintiff. Barnas declares that in a letter dated January 29, 2010, from Wachovia to Plaintiff, Plaintiff was informed "that Wachovia had not received the last five mortgage payments totaling $15,665.75." Barnas also declares that in a letter dated April 27, 2010, Plaintiff was informed she is not eligible for assistance under the Temporary Payment Reduction Program due to her current financial condition; and that Plaintiff was informed in a letter dated June 25, 2010, "that plaintiff had not been approved for loan modification and that the loan is currently moving towards foreclosure."
Since the record shows that Plaintiff has known the foreclosure has been looming since and before she received the June 25 letter, and Plaintiff fails to explain why she failed to seek an injunction earlier, this "delay contradicts [P]laintiff's allegations of irreparable injury, and [P]laintiff's motion is denied." Mammoth Specialty Lodging, LLC v. We-Ka Jassa Inv. Fund, LLC, 2010 WL 1539811, at *2 (E.D. Cal. 2010).
For the stated reasons, Plaintiff's application for a TRO is DENIED.

LOD, Israel, Feb. 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AudioCodes (Nasdaq:AUDC) Press Release
- AudioCodes is introducing VocaNOM, a new cloud-based voice dialing software-as-a-service solution for enterprises
- VocaNOM leverages the success of AudioCodes voice recognition technology which has been installed over the past 18 months in large Israeli enterprises as an on-premise solution
- VocaNOM is currently available in Israel and will be rolled out to other countries in the coming months
- The VocaNOM application is part of AudioCodes One Voice for Enterprise Mobility solution suite
AudioCodes, a leading provider of solutions that enable enterprises and service providers to transition to all-IP voice networks, today announced the launch of its cloud-based VocaNOM application. VocaNOM, part of AudioCodes One Voice for Enterprise Mobility solution suite, is offered as an innovative cloud-based service to organizations that allows for voice-activated routing of intra-organizational calls for employees both "on the go" and in the office, as well as from callers outside of the organization. The provision of the application through the cloud is expected to accelerate the adoption of the service in the organization, significantly reduce telephony costs and improve employee efficiency.
VocaNOM leverages the success of AudioCodes voice recognition technology which has been installed over the past 18 months in large Israeli enterprises in different business sectors, including high-tech, educational, industrial, and municipal organizations. VocaNOM is currently available in Israel and will be rolled out to other countries in the coming months.
The VocaNOM application allows mobile and office employee callers, as well as external callers, to make automatically routed voice calls directly to the requested person in the organization. This is accomplished by simply stating the name of the person or department they wish to call and then being automatically transferred to the requested party. In doing so, the application avoids the hassle of searching for phone numbers or waiting to speak to an operator.
VocaNOM streamlines telephone communications both within and outside the organization. It is expected to dramatically reduce the costs of international inter-organizational calls from mobile phones, as well as the costs associated with providing a live operator. It also provides for a safer call during driving and improves the efficiency of workers on the road, in the office and in remote locations.
For more information about VocaNOM click here
AudioCodes will be participating in Mobile World Congress on February 24-27, and is scheduling meetings on site, Booth #9, Section #5E81 in Hall 5.
