No help on overseas data plan
I have 8 salesmen on my number, so you know we spend a lot, and for more than 10 years. But today I wanted to put a $25 international data plan on my phone and was told we are $288 past due. We paid it by wire on Sept 21, but they don't show it 7 days later. So things happen right? So I asked them to allow me to charge the $25 either to my plan or to a credit card. The helpful lady transferred me to a supervisory level, and they refused to make an exception. I cannot imagine worse customer service. They wouldn't even take a credit card!

Mike's Video Vault – Watch Guy Pull Off Incredible Dance Moves While on Treadmill
Most people either run or walk on a treadmill. Not this Florida man. Watch as he fearlessly spins and twirls on the moving treadmill. He reminds me of the OK Go! video from a few years ago.

Sewing details: Vogue jacket with contrast sleeves
However a few commenters gave some suggestions for this pattern category of not new but not vintage, such as OBG (oldie but goodie) and late-model (as in recent but not new cars) I like them both so I will now have a couple of names for these types of patterns. Good thing too as I have a few that might make an appearance this summer in my sewing.
Back to the sewing details for this jacket which appeared in my previous post. I happened to be in the mood to take pictures as I sewed for this one, mostly because it was such an interesting pattern and I thought some of you might like to see it.
Here's the jacket on the dress form. The pattern envelope and tech drawing are pictured in that previous post so you can see the seaming and dart detail.
Of course every new pattern starts with fitting. I looked over the pattern, did some flat pattern measure as well as scrutinized the finished garment measurements printed on the pattern (thank you Vogue patterns - my editorial comment: this is a detail that sets the Big 4/5 printed patterns on a higher level than a lot of other patterns).
I made a muslin of just the jacket minus the sleeves, to see the fit and also where the seams landed on me. Vogue size 12 is almost always a good fit for me in jackets and this one was as well. Note that this style has NO shoulder seam and the front wraps around to the back so options for fitting are somewhat limited by that design detail.
Here are the pattern pieces laid out on the floor. You can see where I add paper to the various seams, some places tweaking the fit just a 1/4' or so, and other places (like the hip circumference) I generally have to add about 2-3 inches in total on a size 12. This pattern also has the side seams shifted below the waist, so that was kind of tricky - the pocket crosses over the side seam, wrapping around the body. Although on my final version it did not. I added about 2 extra inches to the hemline - this pattern has a faced hem (which I changed) so I added the 2 inches for hem allowance. I just put little tabs to remind me to add the extra length and then mark with chalk on my actual fabric. If you ever have a really full skirt and you want to lengthen it the same method saves you lots of taping of extra paper onto the pattern. You just have to remember to mark the extra length your fabric from the very first piece! That's why I add the paper tabs - as a visual reminder to do so.
Since I had done the muslin the jacket sewed together pretty quickly. The pocket was titled "the invisible patch pocket!" but it was basically a patch pocket sewn on the inside of the jacket with a flap to cover the faced opening. The pocket bag is stitched to the jacket front although on this fabric you can't see the stitching. (also my camera made it look grey not blue in some of these photos).
Here's the more interesting detail. Since there is no shoulder seam the front curves over the shoulder and then attaches to the back via a diagonal seam. The had a pattern piece for making the shoulder stabilization piece, which you can see here in white. It is not meant to be fusible, actually maybe a lightweight hair canvas or something similar would be just right. I used a woven canvas that I had which seemed to match with weight and shape of the wool, and then I added a layer of fusible Pro-weft just to give it a bit more body. The pattern instructions had you hand stitch this into the jacket along just a few areas, you can see the running stitches. I really liked this level of detail and the result where this support piece is kind of floating inside the jacket. Note that the pattern called for a boiled wool or similar type of fabric so I was adapting a bit due to my fabric choice of this tweedy wool.
Once I got it mostly assembled and started working on the sleeves I decided that the shoulders were too wide for me, so I moved the top of sleeve in a good 3/4". And even now that it is finished I think it is just a bit too wide across the shoulder. So it bugs me a little but maybe not enough to crack it open and do some surgery in that area. Since I was working with this sweater knit for the sleeves I hand basted in both sleeves and tried it on just to see how they looked and fell on the body. (note those funky corner bits that are left after sewing all the diagonal seams - I always think this type of pattern piece is a trap for beginning sewers - at least it was when I was beginning and it took a while to intuit how the seams were supposed to go together, sticking out at the ends like that)
And that random impulse purchase of neon green thread paid off - so easy to see this as basting thread :)
A couple more fit adjustments once the jacket was stitched together. I decided the sleeves were too wide at the wrist, so tapered them in, quite a bit as seen here. About 2 inches in total. Proportion is so important to me and if something just doesn't look right I have to baste in an adjustment and see how it looks. Sometimes doing that proves that it was fine from the beginning but sometimes the smallest adjustment will make all the difference.
Back to the jacket body - once it was sewn up I realized that I added more than necessary to the hip circumference (which is no surprise - I always err on the side of fit insurance since you can take away but not add, right?)
Here are the two seams on either side of the center back jacket, below the waist seam. I took out about 1 inch at the hemline tapering to zero at the waist seam.
Yep, it's a lot of put on, pin, take off, baste, check again, mark with chalk and then stitch. And then press! But usually on a garment I just have one or two areas to fine tune once it is sewn together so that's not too bad. And the result means a jacket that I like versus one that I am not comfortable with.
I just love those darts and the shape of this - and am still amazed that I found the sleeve fabric. Which I have about 1 yard remaining. Enough to make a knit tee but perhaps too matchy...
Since I completed this I have been wearing it a lot - you know how it goes when you finish something that can be worn with a lot of different things (meaning jeans). Although today it was shorts weather - seriously - spring has sprung - which means we will probably get some big storm around Easter but until then we are all pulling weeds and thinking about putting in the tomato plants!
Happy Daylight Savings time sewing. I hope all is well in the northeast with the storm and that your spring arrives soon too.
I always plant tulip bulbs in a rush and buy too many, so after putting them in the flower bed I have some remaining that I end up sticking in whatever bare patch of ground I can find. Including in the retaining wall. Thus this cute little purple tulip among the pansies.

Sharply done as ever Beth. I can see you getting loads of wear out of this one.ReplyDelete
Wonderful job. Classic, I'd say. Looks great on you!ReplyDelete
I really like this jacket on you. Thanks for all the interior goings on! Those invisible patch pockets had piqued my interest. I think of "vintage" when it's a recognizable style from a certain decade, but the last 20years or so haven't defined themselves as much as other decades. Maybe that adds to the limbo some of these patterns find themselves in. I'm not sure exactly. But it's a good point you bring up.ReplyDelete
Love the jacket and the sewing details. Classic but with a twist. My Mother would have called it "chic". Would a little bit of a sleeve head fill out that shoulder without making you look like a linebacker? I have narrow sloping shoulders and I like to use a strip of polar fleece in that spot.ReplyDelete
Very interesting and helpful to read about your process... Thank you!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous jacket, I particularly like the contrasting sleeve, something I have never thought of. I'm with you with your vintage definition, isn't 90s fashion just second -hand!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing the details!ReplyDelete
I wonder if making a matching t-shirt would trick the eye into seeing the jacket as vest? Worth testing in the mirror ...

Here Are Factors To Consider When Buying A Distressed Property For Sale In Tallahassee
What is a distressed property?
A house will be considered as a distressed property for sale if it is under a foreclosure order or if it is advertised as for sale by the mortgage holder. Most of these houses are below their market value and there are even some houses that are half the price of their original value. You can click this
link to see them
for more info.
You can find a number of distressed properties for sale in Tallahassee.
A distressed home can be sold by the owner if he will sell it before it becomes forclosed. There are a lot of situations when homeowners of distressed properties have sold their home at a reasonable price before it was even foreclosed. These owners got a good price for their home. But, there are situations when homeowners are forced to sell their home below the market value. Even though these homeowners will not get the best price for their home, but at least they will still get something from their old home. Another way to sell a distressed house is by short sales. A short sale is when the owner of the house are allowed by the bank or lending company to sell their home at a price that is lower than the money that they loaned. This method will allow the owner to pay the debt from the lender and also be free from their mortgage agreement. Learn more about
delinquent loans
, go here.
There are really a lot of reasons why buyers should purchase a distressed home. First benefit is that the owner can have the property at a low price. The buyer can save so much money when they buy a distressed home. A lot of banks or lending company would like to dispose of distressed houses and this is why buyers has a high chance of getting it in a much lower price since they can negotiate with the bank or lending company. Another advantage of buyers is that they have so many options. There are a lot of distressed home and they can choose the best home in a low price.
There are things you need to look out for when buying a distressed property. You need to be ready since you will have a lot of competitors. There are more people that are purchasing distressed homes than newly built homes. A lot of buyers and real estate investors are looking to buy affordable houses. If you have found a home that you really like then you should have a licensed real estate agent and make the best offer. Take a look at this link

The Congress Steering Committee meets. We talk about the Big Cheese speakers we have lined up. They are already being primed to make Controversial Assertions so as to stimulate Lively Debate. The primary intended outcome is actually not so much the debate as a more life-sustaining temperature in the meeting room. In previous years it has been a little on the northern side. This year, with sessions on the commoditisation of legal services, the replacement of IP attorneys with Artificial Intelligence, and whether IP hinders innovation, there is a risk that the room will get so hot it will spontaneously combust. We might as well rebrand the event Hot CIPA.
Personally, I doubt that Artificial Intelligence could ever be a match for the more astute members of the patent profession. But if they ever come up with Artificial Social Skills, then we will have to start watching our backs. And they won't have to try too hard either.
The session on AI has been allocated to Mr Davies and the EyePeePee Train Man. Since the EyePeePee has little real interest in anything that isn't steam-driven, it has been left to Mr Davies to do the bulk of the getting excited about this. And excited he is, too. He has called the session: Disruptive Technologies. He is very fond of the word "disruptive", our Mr Davies. He has had it shouted at him often enough.
The only person who has not progressed her allocated session particularly much is of course me. I try to make this seem deliberate.

To know if there's a hidden camera somewhere limit your range of vision, find a source of light, observe the room then probe further, the know what to do after finding the camera.
While at work, you may suddenly have an uneasy feeling of being watched. This feeling may cause discomfort in performing your tasks, or it makes you pressured of intimidated. If you are conscious that your employer might be observing you at a distance through a hidden camera, be curious and locate it. Here are some tips on how.
Limit range of vision
If you have just entered the room, the most conventional method of finding a hidden camera is by focusing you range of vision to a more narrow area. To do this, you may use some kind of tube for your eyes. A good instrument would be a cardboard toilet paper tube, a cling wrap, or a paper towel. If none of this is in the vicinity, you may use your two hands to form a makeshift telescope. Afterwards, look around the room using the tube to find any hidden camera.
Find a source of light
Next step to take is to find a source of light if the room isn't well-lit. You may use a flashlight or the lights in your mobile phone for this. If you don't have one near you, you can improvise by putting some directional LED light on the tube. Adequate lighting is needed to scan the room for some hidden cameras.
Observe the room
Scan the perimeters of the room but try not to look suspicious. View through the cardboard tube while holding the flashlight at eye level. Focus the light to where you are looking. If you can notice any sparkle of light being reflected back at you, it's one sign that it could be a hidden camera.
Probe deeper
Monitor the room further; search every corner of the room. Check any area of the room for any reflection. This reflection can be brought about by a piece of dust or other tiny debris or this could be a reflection resulting from the lens of the hidden camera. Look closely on the ceiling, walls or shelves for any unusual objects,
Know what to do
If you find any hidden camera, decide now what you can do. The presence of a surveillance camera means that your employers are monitoring you and checking you work. If you are uncomfortable of being watched, you can position or move yourself to a spot that is less visible on cam, you may also decide to have something covering the camera to block it.
Do something to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling that's been bothering you while at work. Know some ways how you can avoid the camera. Then you can resume to your work, with lighter mind and feeling.

Number Poster Freebie
I did make some new number posters for my classroom (I'm calling them posters, but each is the size of a regular piece of paper). I don't really have a theme in my classroom, more of a primary colored decor with some apples thrown in. Click on the picture below if you would like the number posters for yourself- they're free :). I would love to hear from you if you are able to use these!
I hope you all are enjoying your last bits of summer. It seems like this summer passed by faster than any before...we go back a week from Friday! As hard as it is to slow down, remember to take some time for yourself before things get super hectic. :)

Baltimore Safe Streets Gun And Drug Bust Highlights Ongoing Anti-Gun Fraud
2 comments:
Thank God you won't have your way! In your feeble mind the life of a criminal who would attack you is worth more than your life, so you wouldn't use a gun to protect your life or the lives of your family? Your comment about guns is completely illogical and obviously comes from ignorance. You need to learn about guns and realize that where law-abiding people have guns, the rate of violent crime comes down. That is a fact. Perhaps your mind can absorb the truth. Your fear of guns is entirely irrational. The only way I fear a gun is if it is pointed at me or some other innocent person nearby.

Keep in mind, these people don't hate guns. They will require MANY men with guns to inflict their uptopia on the rest of us. It is US they hate. The thought of us having the means to say NO and mean it, infuriates them even more.

Stocking Spree
I really enjoyed that post because I am/was coincidentally in the process of doing the very same thing. A couple of weeks ago when Stephen Small was staying the week at my parents' house, I did not darken the door of a grocery store. We ate what we had. The low point was when Stephen Grande came home one day for lunch and the most appealing meal was a plain hamburger patty (no bun) and some crumbly tortilla chips.
It was worth making do because I cleaned out my fridge! I wiped it down and scrubbed all the shelves. I did the same for the pantry.
Then we went out to dinner and left town early the next morning.
When we got back in town I decided to go on a stocking spree. We were out of so many basic things like oatmeal, pasta, canned tomatoes. And since this month is cut short for us by two family trips, I decided that this was a good time to devote a large portion of our budget to staple items and groceries in bulk to go towards meals I have in mind.
I bought my first round of groceries from Costco and did the remainder of my stocking spree at Winn Dixie because of some great sales. Y'all know I'm really Publix gal for my day to day shopping.
Here's some of what I bought.
Different size tortillas for tacos and fajitas.
Dried beans for beans and rice.
A half a ham, cheese, and buns for freezer ham sandwiches.
Pie crusts for quiche and apple pie.
Frozen peas for pasta and peas.
Beans, Rotel, and canned soup for Lollie bean.
Creamed corn for Mexican corn bread.
Frozen broccoli for broccoli cheddar soup.
Huge bag of Mexican shredded cheese for all cheese related needs.
When choosing particular items I made sure I had a recipe in mind for the near future. I really stuck to my list.
This whole method is really straying from my norm of once a week meal planning and grocery shopping. But given that September is a crazy month with traveling and the start up of school and church activities, it seemed like a good time to stock up and loosely plan for the whole month.
I have $106 left to spend on groceries for the month of September. But it should be plenty considering all the food I have in the house. I plan to use the remaining funds for milk, bread, fruit, vegetables, Parmesan cheese, dishwasher detergent, and toothpaste.

Can't wait to try your freezer sandwiches this weekend! They sound delicious. Thank you again:)ReplyDelete
I'm impressed! (and concerned about George's feet!)ReplyDelete
That is a really good idea. Sometimes I just look at all the food, particularly in our pantry, and know I don't need to go to the store. But then we need milk or some basics and I end up doing a whole trip. Great idea to clean your fridge while supplies were low!ReplyDelete

A journalist and another man, said to be a photographer, were arrested in Kirk McCambley's house in east Belfast on Wednesday night.
McCambley, who had an affair with Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson's wife Iris when he was 19 and procured a loan to start a business from her, runs a cafe in south Belfast.
Sunday World journalist Hugh Jordan denies that he was arrested, but the PSNI released a statement to the contrary.
"Two men, aged 45 years and 58 years, were arrested by police and were released on street bail pending further inquiries. There are no reports of any injuries," read the police statement.
However, Jordan told the Belfast Telegraph that he was not cautioned.
"No. I was not arrested. That is not true. I was working on a story, like you are. I have nothing to say on the matter," he said.
The Castlereagh Borough Council has authorized an inquiry into whether Iris Robinson contravened any local government regulations through her dealings with McCambley

Let us not over-react to the recent Supreme Court decision on the Cybercrime Prevention Act (RA 10175). We should carefully study the entire case first before attacking the court and its decision on the matter.
Apparently the raging furor against the decision comes from the millions of netizens or cyberspace users who filed eleven Petitions asking the SC to invalidate the law for being unconstitutional. They felt threatened that the law deprives them of their freedom of speech and of expression guaranteed by our constitution (Article III Section 4). Their reaction may be understandable as this kind of threat may really exist. But is it enough to justify the invalidation of the entire law?
A thorough and deliberate study of the Cybercrime Prevention Act readily shows that it also has some good and laudable provisions especially in the light of the fast growing high tech social media of communications through cyberspace that transcends borders. There really ought to be a law which will protect the millions of PC users from the proliferating "cybercrimes" that the law has listed down.
In fact the law has pinpointed said crimes in Sections 4 and 5, as follows: (1) using someone's computer without permission; (2) intercepting someone's data without permission; (3) "damaging or deleting someone's files without permission and spreading computer viruses"; (4)"hacking into a system and interfering with files"; (5) "buying a domain name similar or identical to an existing trademark or the name of another person"; (6) forging signatures through Photoshop"; (7)"using the Internet to commit fraud"; (8)"stealing somebody's Facebook account; (9)"posting a sex video in exchange for money or favors"; and (10) "sending spam e-mails."
The law likewise penalizes other "Cybersex" crimes committed against children like:(a)"running a child pornography syndicate"; (b) "producing directing and distributing sex video with children in it; (c)"possessing three or more pornographic pictures and videos of children"; (d)"luring a minor over the Internet to have sex"; (e)"sharing a link to a child porn site"; (f)"intentionally accessing any form of child porn"; and (g) possessing any form of child pornography".
Likewise punishable under this law are: "using and possessing or producing an electronic device to commit any of the above crimes; helping someone in the commission of the above crimes; and attempting to commit any of the above crimes".
These are the provisions which the SC found to be within the bounds of the constitution, including the penalties for these crimes consisting of imprisonment ranging in duration from 1-6 months, 1-6 years, 6-12 years and 12-20 years and/or fines of varying amounts. Three of the cybersex crimes affecting children (Section 4 © (l) are punishable with life imprisonment and higher amounts of fines.
On the other hand the SC also found some means employed to achieve the good and laudable purposes of the law constitutionally flawed and thus struck them down. These are the vague provisions that give almost unbridled powers to law enforcers and other government agencies in the investigation and prosecution of cybercrimes amounting to undue intrusion into the privacy of individuals, suppression of the freedom of speech and even deprivation of the due process of law. Thus under the law surveillance of Internet communications can be made merely because there is "due cause" to do so. Searches and seizures can be done without court order issued only after determining the existence of probable cause. Cyberspace communications can be restricted or blocked by government agents if they believe that it constitutes a cybercrime.
On the whole therefore, the SC cannot be faulted for rendering the decision in question. It was just doing its job of deciding cases involving the constitutionality of a law which is their duty under Section 5, Article VIII of the Charter.
Apparently most netizens are furious and vehemently assail the SC decision upholding the constitutionality of cyber libel found in Section 5. Under this section, the author of libelous internet communications including even some "tweets" like saying that "a politician has committed a crime or that the President is sick" is already punishable as libel with imprisonment of up to twelve years. The seemingly oppressive penalties imposed led people to say that the SC has curtailed their freedom of expression and that "cyberspace martial law" has been imposed in the country.
The remedy here however is not with the SC. The question here is no longer about the constitutionality of the law but its necessity in view of the existing laws covering these cyber crimes. The cybersex crimes committed on children are already punishable under RA 9775 particularly Section 4 (b) (d) (h) (i) (j) and (l). Then the "Electronic Commerce Act or RA 8754 already punishes hacking, email spam and introduction of computer viruses, theft of electronic data or documents or downloading of communications and making them public through the use of the internet (See Sections 47 and 48).
On the other hand the libel provision in Section 5 is also not necessary anymore. There is already a libel law found in Article 353 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC). The elements of libel as defined by the RPC may also be applicable to the online communications aside from the print and broadcast media. Indeed pursuant to Article 355, libel is committed by means of writings or similar means. As long as there is a publication of the malicious imputation of a "crime, vice, or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status or circumstance tending to cause dishonor, discredit, or contempt of a person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead", libel is committed. Publication "takes the form of delivering, reading, exhibiting or communicating the libelous matter to any person other than the person libeled". Definitely this covers on line communications already.
So it is Congress which must review or amend the cyber law by discarding the provisions already covered by existing laws, removing oppressive the penalties imposed and/or even totally repealing it for being unnecessary. –Jose C. Sison (The Philippine Star)

Pogo Helps Self-Employed People Get Insurance Without Getting Headaches
Founded by married couple Hannah and Jade Sullivan, Pogo wants to make finding insurance easier for startups, freelancers, and small business owners around Richmond.
Sarah Honosky | February 14, 2018
A new Richmond startup aims to make insurance easier. Pogo, co-founded by married couple Hannah and Jade Sullivan, employs simple, streamlined aesthetics and easy accessibility to make a straight-laced vocation look a little less conventional.
Pogo is an online business insurance agency for the self-employed. It works to cut through the clunky jargon and complexities of the insurance business, and simplify the experience. "People don't really know where to start, or what insurance companies can help them, so they spend a lot of time and energy trying to figure it out themselves… So we're sort of bridging that gap," said Hannah Sullivan. "You can get insurance from your couch."
With numbers of self-employed Americans on the rise – some studies project that by 2020 more than 40% of the American workforce will be independent workers — easy and accessible insurance is a necessity. The increasing share of the workforce operating as independent contractors are ineligible for workplace benefits, and must pay for insurance out of pocket. This process is not only complex, but takes time away from the work that matters to them. Without something like Pogo, they often don't have insurance at all.
Hannah and Jade are familiar with the frustrations of insurance, and are fully committed to making things easier for the freelancers, entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners who populate Richmond.
"We also have friends who have worked with two or three different insurance agents because they can't get all of the coverage they need in one place," said Jade. "But we can provide everything you need, kind of like a one-stop-shop. You just fill out a simple form and we compare over 30 top insurance companies, for free."
It's no secret that insurance is a male dominated field. According to a Credit Suisse report, just 1% of insurance firms have a female CEO, and only 12% of women in the industry are in top management positions. But Pogo is headed by two married, gay women, neither of which fit the gray-suited insurance stereotype.
"If you compare us to the people in our industry, we already look different because we come from a creative background," said Hannah. "Jade [had] half her head shaved and I had a faux-hawk when we first started working in insurance in 2015… We were already different. We have nothing to hide, and we've never hid the fact that we were together. We just didn't make it a thing, and no one else did, either."
When Hannah was stuffing envelopes at her dad's insurance company in high school, she had no intention of ever coming back to the field. "I was a funky chick with colorful cowboy boots, and knew I wanted to work in the design world, not the insurance world." But when her father, Steve Love, an industry veteran with more than thirty years of experience, offered them an opportunity to be a part of his new backend insurance program, Hannah and Jade left the New York creative scene to join the project.
"At first it seemed like we were out of our element, because insurance is so bulky and formal," said Hannah. "But as we broke down the process, we realized we could make the experience of finding insurance better through design."
As graduates of the VCU Brandcenter, which is part-creative studio, part-business school master's program, they were already predisposed to look at the field differently. Hannah is experienced in graphic and web design, and Jade does UX/UI design, so creating a user-friendly interface was a primary focus. "I think that who we are in general kind of gives us an advantage," said Jade. "Being designers/creatives kind of gives us an edge to look at things from a different perspective."
Their experiences at the Brandcenter didn't just equip them with the design abilities they needed to create Pogo, it was also the place where they met. Jade asked Hannah if they could work together on a project, and after that, they never stopped creating. They began a side project that involved coding, design, and animation, pushing themselves through projects outside of their comfort zone.
"I think that's when we realized how much we love figuring things out together. It was also the moment we realized we could do anything together if we tried," said Jade. "Once we realized we could apply new thinking to anything, we started inventing random things all the time for fun, but we never settled on anything because honestly it was all kind of pointless. It wasn't until Steve proposed we apply ourselves the insurance industry that we felt like we could really make an impact."
Hannah and Jade have high hopes for Pogo's future. In a field that provides more headaches than help, they are looking to change the game.
"Pogo has what it takes to be a mega resource for the people who are changing the workforce, and the economy," said Hannah. "We're here to protect people, to ensure their success, and to help self-employed people all over the country kick ass."

EDGE Green Building Certification
EDGE Green Building Certification
Create resource-efficient buildings quickly, easily, and affordably
An innovation of IFC (International Finance Corporation), EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) shows property developers how fast, easy and affordable it is to build and brand green. EDGE, the next generation of environmental building certification standards, can also be used as a design tool, to help prove the business case for building green.
EDGE's simple, intuitive interface is supported by data such as climatic conditions, use patterns, technologies and typical practices in nearly 100 countries. This makes it possible to assess the environmental and economic impact of design decisions in just minutes. From just a few simple inputs, EDGE will first calculate the energy and water efficiency of the base case (if built in line with standard / typical practice).
Selecting the energy / water efficiency measures planned, EDGE will calculate the incremental and operational costs that the improved design can achieve.
Four steps to EDGE Certification
Step 1 Assess your project
You can use EDGE for free! Access the tool at www.edgebuildings.com. Once you have registered, you can create a new project get started straight away. Just enter basic building data, so that EDGE can calculate a base case. You can then use the intuitive, simple interface to begin optimising your design, finding the most cost effective way of achieving the EDGE standard.
Step 2 Register your project
There is no need to track down an EDGE Auditor, you just need to fill in this registration form and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com describing where and what your building project is and thinkstep and SGS will take care of the rest. We will provide two offers, one for the registration and certification (from thinkstep), and the other for the Audit (from SGS).
Step 3 Audit
In order to prepare for a successful audit, you should prepare the documentation required. Once your registration fees have been paid, we will forward you a link to our file sharing platform and you can start uploading your documents. You can then provide your SGS auditor access to the files and to the EDGE assessment you have completed.
Step 4 Certification
Whether your project is at design stage or post construction the SGS auditor will carry out a thorough audit of your EDGE assessment and the evidence you have provided. Once they are satisfied that the standard has been achieved and that sufficient evidence to support the claims they will submit the audit the thinkstep for certification.

Year of foundation: 1985
Economic structure: private
Bogemskaia – Turchin collection
The Turchin – Bogemskaia collection is a private collection of Naïve and Outsider art based in Moscow, Russia representing mostly Russian and some international art. The collection was started in the middle of the 1980s by Dr. Ksenia Bogemskaia (1947 -2010). Dr. Bogemskaia published several books on naive and outsider art. It is one of the oldest institutions in field of Russian naive art studies, it is now 30 years old.
The goal of the collection is to preserve the heritage of outstanding Soviet Naive Artists, particularly Pavel Leonov, and to support new artists and conserve their work. Parallel to this is a programme of research into Russian Outsider Art. An important aim of the collection is to search for new and promising artists.
The collection is entirely self-supporting and this, of necessity, involves some degree of buying and selling art.
The collection consists of two parts: the more established section is Russian Naïve Art, and the more recent section is Art Brut or 'Outsider' Art. In the Art Brut section the most prominent artist is Alexander Lobanov.
Recent activities of the collection have been two large exhibitions of paintings by Pavel Leonov. One in the Roza Azora gallery (2010), and the other in the Pushkin State Art Museum (2011).
The main mission of this site concerns research into Russian Outsider Art. It is based on the legacy of Dr. Ksenia Bogemskaia (1947-2010) who was a prominent academic and art collector. Bogemskaia's collection is maintained by her son, Alexey Turchin, and a team of art historians: Maria Volkova, Medea Margoshvili and Lisa Plavinskaja.
See more about Dr. Ksenia Bogemskaia in wiki, scientific biography
European collaboration
In 1999 the collection formed the basis of a large exhibition of Russian Naïve Art at the Charlotte Zander Museum in Germany. Also at this period several exhibitions in Netherlands (Galerie Hamer), Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain took place. Raw Vision magazine published several articles about artists in our collection and we assisted with research (Pavel Leonov, Vasilij Romanenkov and recently Alexander Belykh.) During this period we also made acquisitions from Poland and Israel.
Future vision
We are interested in promoting Russian Naïve and Outsider Art abroad. We want to show that Pavel Leonov is a museum artist of world class. We are also interested in finding new Art Brut artists.
Dr.Bogemskaia's book about Art Brut will published soon.
The collection was included in the top-60 collection in Europe in the book "On the map: Exploring european outsider art. A notebook" of which only 4 others in Russian (including Inye collection in Yaroslavl and Outsiderbourg in Saint-Petersburg)

Registering domain name is essential if you want to have a successful online business or personal website and getting web hosting for it is also very easy. In order to make sure that your domain name is located easily by different search engines, try to keep your domain name short and simple. A domain is essentially the web address for your website and thus any internet user looking for your online presence can type that domain name in the top bar on the browser to reach your website. Your aim should be to locate your website at the top of the search list.
Many companies and registrars can be found online which will help you register your domain name so that it becomes your property. Registering domain name can be pretty easy if you do a little bit of researching online. There are numerous websites which have lengthy articles that teach you were to go and what to do when registering domain name.
Useful Information
If you are not much experienced in the business of website making, you may fall for cheap packages offered by different hosting companies. These packages may cost you less but are generally bad news. They may trick you by adding minimum features in the basic package and charging you extra for services other companies offer for free. Go online to look for a company which helps you get a catchy and unique domain name at a reasonable price.
When registering domain name, remember to check if it has been registered under your name or the company's. Some companies register domains under their own name and thus own it. If in the future, you decide to change your hosting company, they charge you a high price just to release the domain name. It's best if you register the domain name with a reliable company and once you choose a hosting company for your entire website, you can simply transfer the domain name.
Things To Remember
Free domain names keep the budget under check but the companies which provide them usually are not very reliable and have limited infrastructure. They can go out of business without warning and cause all sorts of problems for you. When registering domain name, check what services are being offered to you by the company. They should have an excellent customer support service that stays online 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If you need to test them, try dropping in an email to see how long they take to reply. Good hosting companies are always available to guide you through any problem.
Moreover, you should also be careful about the domain name you choose. Choose a name that is a true representation of your business. Don't go for a domain name that has got nothing to do with your business or the kind of business you run. Moreover, a common mistake that a lot of website owners make is that they forget to renew their domain names. If you forget to renew your domain name and it expires, someone else can buy it and you lose it forever. All the hard work you have put into advertising the website and making it a success can go to waste. If you remember all these tips when registering domain name, there is no reason why you will face any sort of unpleasantness.
Essential Guide To Buying Domains
Buying domains can make a huge difference for your online business. Internet usage has increased significantly over the years and many people and companies now opt to purchase domains for marketing purposes primarily. Moreover, as more and more people have gained access to the internet, it has become easier for people to buy domains. Even the layman now understands many internet terms. The term domain was little used term some decades ago but today, most people know that it is the internet address for your website. The domain is what the user enters on the top domain bar of the browser in order to visit a certain website.
The domain can consist of actual words or letters or anything that represents your website. Regardless of the name, domains are internet's way of locating your website. In today's world, it is essential that you have an online presence for your business or just a website for personal use like a blog. The process of having a website begins with buying domains. After you design your website, you have to come up with a memorable domain name and then get it registered with a registrar or hosting company.
Not A Complex Task
The domain name you choose should represent your business well. It has to be as short as possible and a true representative of your company or whatever entity you are making the website for. The less complicated it is, the more likely people are to remember it. There are a number of formats available for you to choose. Make sure that the dot com format is your first choice. If however, you cannot find a dot com format, you can always go for dot org or dot net. It is more important that your domain name be relevant to the business.
When buying domains, remember that you should go for a reliable registrar. The process is easy enough. You should head online and look for a reliable hosting company or registrar. You can either get a domain name in the package offered to you by the hosting company which hosts your entire website. If not, you can register your domain name with a separate registrar so that transferring it becomes easier in the future. When you buy domains, remember to check if it has been registered in your name. A lot of hosting companies register the domain name under themselves and thus it does not belong to you. If you wish, in the future, to change your hosting company, you run into a number of problems.
Things To Do After the Purchase
Once you are through with purchasing a domain, there are some other things that need to be fulfilled. There is a common misperception amongst a lot of web developers that once the domain is purchased, they are done with the whole process. Well, truth be told, things are not that simple. A very important part of owning domain names is to renew the registrations after a certain period of time.
Each domain name registration has an expiry date. The registrar will most certainly send you an email as a reminder. The email will entail all the instructions on how a domain name can be renewed. You can simply head over to the registrar's website, pay the fee and have your domain name renewed. Buying domains can make all the difference for your website.

Day 1: Going green
The free event is only a brief stop — we're walking the Green Horseshoe, a mile-long series of parks, leafy squares and gardens. The bucolic route also takes in several stunning buildings from the Habsburg era, such as the golden Art Pavilion and neo-baroque Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb.
Beyond King Tomislav Square — an oasis of spouting fountains and flowers — is the 11.6-acre Zagreb Botanical Garden, a sanctuary of secluded benches, ponds and over 10,000 plant species. But it's in the Upper Town where I find some of Zagreb's quirkier attractions.
A climb to Stone Gate, the last remaining medieval entrance to Upper Town, reveals a Marian shrine with pews and flickering candles, marking the spot where a fire in 1731 engulfed all but a painting of the Virgin. I emerge in the historic hilltop district, where manually lit gas lanterns line cobbled streets.
It's up here I visit St Mark's Church, an ode to the Croatian flag, with coats of arms emblazoned against a red, white and blue tiled roof. It faces the Lotrščak Tower, a 13th-century fortified tower where a cannon's been blasted at noon each day since 1877. At its base, I hop on the Zagreb Funicular — the shortest cable-car in the world — and slide back down to Lower Town before I can blink.
Design district
Bathed in red, the Croatian Design Superstore is a pop-up shop and design exhibition space with everything from ceramic bowls to minimalist coffee tables. "Everything here is designed in Croatia and many of the products tell a story about Croatian heritage, cultural habits and history," says Marija Kata Vlašić, the company's PR manager. "We also started a project that aims to turn this whole area into a creative zone." Design District Zagreb was launched last year, and will be held from 13-18 June 2017, with food stalls, workshops, exhibitions and urban gardens.
Day 2: Like a local
Busy baristas steam and slosh batches of java at Cogito Coffee, one of the city's pioneering bean-roasters. I order their speciality blend, Tesla. "We don't drink espresso — it's always coffee with milk, for a longer sip," Damjan explains. "Coffee culture is closely linked to Zagreb."
Post-latte, we emerge onto Flower Square. It's Saturday — a day for the Croatian špica, a social phenomenon where locals and celebrities alike stroll, shop and sip with the aim of being seen. "It's a must for us — it shows a provincial mindset," says Damjan.
We pass a crowd forming around the mayor and a footballer as we head to the Grič Tunnel, a WWII relic that opened to the public last summer. The walls are bare, but there are plans for exhibitions or a museum here, Damjan says. I emerge to find Art Park, a former junky hangout that's been transformed into a graffiti-splashed open-air museum.
A few hours later, I scoff vegan fare sourced from a local organic farm at Zrno Bio Bistro, and head to Tkalčićeva Street, a pedestrianised lane lined with outdoor boozers. At Rakhia Bar, I order a citrusy pale ale from Zmajska Pivovara, a craft brewery that opened in the city in 2014. Watching the street swell with people, I remember Damjan telling me it was once known for seedier evening encounters; the ladies of the night may be gone, but hedonism has remained.
Don't miss: Quirky museums
Museum of Illusions: Nothing appears as it should at this museum that opened in late 2015. Set across two floors, this is a world where water flows upwards, perspective is warped in tilted rooms and optical illusions line walls.
Mushroom Museum: A fungi-filled space that exhibits around 1,000 specimens, from rare truffles to death caps. Due to freeze-drying, the mushrooms look as though they've just been picked. For the fearless forager, there's also lectures and mushroom gathering exercises.
Day 3: Into the wild
Fifteen miles from the Bosnian border, I plunge into a forest of beech, spruce and fir, where roots bulge like varicose veins and stretch across worn tracks. From the upper lakes, we descend through the trees, emerging onto wooden boardwalks that zigzag above the marble-green shallows. These take us through reedy backwaters plied by carp and pike, where moss and epiphytes spill from the rock.
Where water laps at a walkway, I stop to fill my bottle. My guide, Jasmina, explains: "The average person who drinks this water daily digests 180 kilos of rocks in their lifetime." The high prevalence of limestone here has splashed leaves white with calcium carbonate.
A boat takes us to the lower lakes, where we find the pretty Milka Trnina Waterfalls, named after a Croatian opera singer. "This was her favourite part," says Jasmina, pointing to the short, sinewy, luminous blue cascades.
We walk in the shade of soaring cliffs, staying out of the way of backpacks and selfie sticks. A distant roar grows louder as we approach Veliki Slap ('Big Waterfall'), an imposing, 255ft-high torrent that throws up curtains of mist. It's busy, and as I turn to leave the packed area, Jasmina smiles. "I also prefer the upper part," she says. "It's more interesting. It's more wild."

☟ is my book cover for Perfume by Patrick Süskind for the Penguin Design Award.
I think doing book covers is nice practice. But it was tricky trying to get it practical and communicate what I wanted. I tried to make a solid vapour/smoke thing from tape.
This is messing about with the type. Making a city from the bits.
I fancy some animation now...

This year, it's a fast-paced and bombastic 45-minute version of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Local audiences will have a chance to see it Saturday, Oct. 11, in a free performance at the Out-of-Door Academy Lower School outdoor amphitheater.
The show debuted Thursday to a capacity crowd in the Cook Theatre at the FSU Center for the Performing Arts.
Director Jen Wineman has done an amazing job of paring the play down to to its bones, and still telling its three separate but connected stories coherently, and maintaining the flavor and -- most importantly -- the linguistic integrity.
The actors, all third-year students from the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training, each taking multiple roles, are wondrous and energetic. Andrea Adnoff and Brian Owen are standouts, but the whole cast is magnetic.
The grown-ups that made up almost all of the audience loved Wednesday's performance, but it's definitely aimed at youngsters.
The only liberties Wineman has taken with the script are to change the setting from Athens to a private school called Athens Academy, and to change some of the nobles into school officials. The
|Some of the "Dream" cast
Besides, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of the most easily enjoyed of all of Shakespeare's plays, so there's no real need to turn it into a high school thing. The idea is try to get young people who have never seen a Shakespeare play -- and maybe never seen a play -- to try to catch the theater bug, and this one should do that, and would probably do it just as well without those small changes.
There's no Shakeseareance necessary, but the audience at Asolo Thursday was full of people who had seen full-length performances of the play before (there was a show of hands during a talk-back) and they all loved it. So unless you're a curmudgeonly Shakespeare purist, this should be a really fun 45 minutes. (Count on an hour including the talk-back).
Besides, it's free.
Te performance starts at 2 p.m. Oct.11, at Out-of-Door Academy,
444 Reid St., Sarasota. There's an "introductory workshop" at 1:30 p.m.
Seating is limited and reservations are required. Call 941-351-8000.

2 Million B.C. Online Slot
2 Million B.C. Slot Game Review
2 Million B.C. is a 5-reel, 3-row and 30-payline 3D slot released by BetSoft casino games developer. It's all about cavemen and extinct animals, oh, and the women's everlasting desire of diamonds.
You can trigger the Free Spins feature when you collect 3 or more bonfire Scatters on your reels. It's already really tempting, but there's more: you can win additional Free Spins as well, when being in the middle of your current round. Ain't it convenient?
The Saber Attacks feature triggers when you get 3 acorns in any location. You're probably wondering what that's supposed to mean, aren't you? Well, you'll then have to help the caveman aim and shoot to knock the Sabertooth out cold to claim credits right away.
2 Million B.C. game also offers you a Diamond Bonus game, where you have to spin in 3 or more Diamond symbols in a winning combo occurring on any active payline to receive the Diamond Bonus. You'll be a big help when you show the poor caveman the way he should steal the diamond from the wild Sabertooth.
You can bet as low as 1 coins and go up to 150.
The hairy Neanderthal to the right of your reels must be, overall, the most entertaining part of the game. When you decide to go a little risky and click on the bet max spin button, the guy will be beside himself with happiness. If the spins turn out successful, he'll be dancing and clapping his gigantic paws non-stop. That's kinda fun.
Frankly speaking, the graphics of the slot is quite Neanderthal as well, comparing to the masterpieces we've already seen, but it still looks nice and interesting.
Take a little time travel and play 2 Million B.C. slot online for free at SlotsUp, browse our collection to check out more of the BetSoft casino slots.

Sevilla Benefiting From La Liga's Early Pacesetters Pitfalls
By Andreas Vou
Most eyes are usually locked on which is going on towards the top of los angeles Liga between your top three of FC Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, however the race through out the ecu spots is perhaps probably the most gripping faction from the campaign.
The fight including several unpredicted candidates for any devote Europe is constantly on the twist and switch, using the teams who have been the tales of year within the first 1 / 2 of the campaign gradually drifting off target.
Just a little over last month, Celta Vigo and Deportivo La Coruna were flirting having a Champions League place. However, pre-season shoe-ins not less than a Europa League position, Sevilla, looked at risk of passing up on continental football altogether.
However, a high dip healthy in the two Galician clubs has witnessed them drop lower to eighth and ninth correspondingly simultaneously Sevilla have their seasons firmly back in line.
Celta departed to some flying start, occupying among the top four spots for that first 16 days of year bar one. Eduardo Berizzo's men were probably the most attractive attacking sides, highlighted by their 4-1 make an impression on Bar?a at the end of September. Their sudden plight however, needs no in-depth analysis.
Since star man Nolito's injuries for the finish of December, Celta have forfeit six of the last nine matches. Saturday's 3-2 make an impression on Eibar only agreed to be their second this twelve months.
This poor run of form has additionally coincided using the purchase of midfield lynchpin Augusto Fernandez to Atletico Madrid. The lack of two fundamental players from the relatively small squad continues to be the explanation for Celta shedding from the pace in recent days, though their latest win puts it well one of the search.
Deportivo's superb start introduced back a wave of nostalgia for La Liga fans, using the famous old club back one of the upper echelons from the division because they so frequently was once each side from the new millennium.
Despite occupying sixth place before the Christmas break, Depor haven't won in nine matches, seeing them drop to tenth and departing their imagine coming back towards the continent doubtful.
Eibar, the league's tiniest club, turn to have discovered from last year's scare – the minnows were flying full of the very first 1 / 2 of last campaign before plummeting in to the relegation zone, simply to be reinstalled within the division because of Elche's financial mishaps.
The Basques have continued to be within the top through the season to date that is beyond their pre-season expectations however their about going any and reaching Europe continues to be dented with a recent three-match losing streak in addition to recent loss to Celta.
Taking full benefit of these trio's deceleration is Sevilla. The Europa League champions departed to some stuttering start however with only one defeat in 13 Liga matches, the Andalusians look best-outfitted to consider fifth place, and may attempt knocking around the door of Villarreal who lie in 4th.
Such continues to be the topsy-turvy nature from the race for European football this season, it's nearly impossible to calculate the eventual results of the very best six.
Back-to-back wins for Valencia, and defeats for Sports in addition to four victories around the trot legitimate Sociedad prove the fight for individuals European spots continues to be open as always, with every position susceptible to change every week.
Nonetheless, the smaller sized sides who set the division alight in early stages are at risk of seeing their great work count for little.

Hi all! Hope you're doing well! Happy Middle of the Week! I feel so much better now that I post twice a week. I don't feel as stressed out in trying to get all of my posts in week after week. And plus, you guys get to hear about nice stores and hopefully find new places to shop? This week is on my very first pair of ♥ Anna House Fashion ♥ shoes!
As you all know, I am planning to do quite a bit of cosplay this year at Otakon and one of them will be the school uniform version of Stocking from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. For those of you that never watched the show, it's a very funny (very pervy) and sometimes serious show about these two angels as they fight bad spirits and earn their way back into heaven...literally. Stocking is the Lolita of the two so she is always dressing in pretty frills and always eating yummy sweets. I won't do a cosplay post yet until it gets closer to Otakon and I will give you guys a sneak peek.
This was my first time buying shoes in Asian sizing so I was very scared that I would order something too small on accident. But emailing Anna House eased my worries and they helped me choose the right size. They accept PayPal and a lot of their stuff has a wide range of sizes. Most can be re-sized if you ask and pay a little extra. (Ordering from this place made me very happy!)
The package came relatively quick which was pretty good considering it was coming from China. When I opened it, I was a little scared because of the slight dents into the shoebox. I really wish the Postal Service would be more careful with packages...
In any case, I checked inside the box only to discover the shoes were very well protected. Bubble wrap was tightly wound around them and there was paper inside to support the shoe from the inside so it wouldn't get smooshed.
And here they are! These are low-heel Lolita-style shoes in black with a white trim. They remind me of the edges of a frilly apron! They have two straps which are secured by silver heart-shaped buckles and are topped off with medium-sized black bows in the front.
The heel is low enough so that even if you are on your feet all day long, the shoes won't bother you as much. I also found that they give you enough room to wear slightly thicker socks, like the ones I'm wearing in the photo.
What's also great about them is that they have a simple yet sweet design so it can go with almost all types of Lolita fashions. I think they would look especially great with classic. I also love the fact that they have a real heel sound when you walk in them.
I can definitely find myself shopping from Anna House again, not just for shoes but for their clothes as well. I can use PayPal, they can alter their sizes and everything is at a great, affordable price. And most of their styles are practical for work (especially if you can't show up in a sweet JSK with a large dessert print).
So, a very big thank you to Anna House for their helpful and fast service and their very cute stuff!
Until next time~
Cuddles & Kisses,

I know I'm a little too excited about this, But I've never really cared for the traditional pancake. They were just too cake -like for me. Too soft and fluffy?! Has anyone actually ever made that complaint!?! I always liked waffles better; but not too crunchy. I like that this recipe has a bit of chew to it and its good for you! ! I'm sure it'd be great as waffles too!
These pancakes are made with whole, wheat berries! It seems easy enough to find a heritage organic variety. And since I don't have a way to grind my own flour; this is awesome!!!
I saw a video done by Stacy @humoroushomemaking. (She blogs about homemaking.) She made the full recipe, including some cooking tips. She sent us over to visit http://www.melskitchencafe.com to find the recipe. The link to the original is HERE. I have gone ahead and tweaked mine with yogurt because I never have buttermilk on hand or the cows milk to make my own. So here is what I've done….
In the blender add…
- 1 cup wheat berries
- 1 cup yogurt (plain or flavored. Greek or otherwise)
Blend for 3 minutes. Add…
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind -I used vanilla almond milk)
Blend for 2 more minutes and then add…
- 2 lrg eggs
- 2 tsp. brown sugar (any sweetener should work)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/8 cup of melted butter
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp ground flax
Blend till smooth.
Fry in oiled skillet as usual. Enjoy

Learn How to Robot Dance.. from Robots!
Learn how to do the robot dance from the masters of the art. Here is an interesting music video called Hell Yes by recording artist Beck featuring four 4th generation QRIO prototype robots, aka "Quest for cuRIOsity." Originally named Sony Dream Robot, these inspirational toys apparently took programmers three weeks to program their choreography. Watch the video after the jump.
..and here is another dance lesson from these robots:
QRIO is capable of voice and face recognition, making it able to remember people as well as their likes and dislikes. These robots can run at 23 cm/second, and is credited in Guinness World Records 2005 edition as being the first bipedal robot capable of running. See it in action:

In java projects sometimes we need setup dependencies among modules by sharing code via JAR files. In some cases its required that the some module for ex module_a is a dependency for two other modules, lets say module_b and module_c. module_b requires all the code in module_a except for the files in package /org/, similarly module_c requires all files/classes in module_a except in package /net/
Here is the sample ANT code to do that
Following ANT target creates a trimmed version of module_a classes, by excluding the org folder
<target name="make-jar-for-module-b" depends="compile-classes ,clean-jars">
<jar index="yes" jarfile="${dir.build.jar}/module_a_for_b.jar" compress="true">
<fileset dir="${dir.build.classes}">
<exclude name="**/org/**" />
Following ANT target creates a trimmed version of module_a classes, by excluding the net folder
<target name="make-jar-for-module-c" depends="compile-classes ,clean-jars">
<jar index="yes" jarfile="${dir.build.jar}/module_a_for_c.jar" compress="true">
<fileset dir="${dir.build.classes}">
<exclude name="**/net/**" />
Here we assume that you are already done with ANT targets for compiling classes and cleaning the jar folders.
On executing these targets you will get the required dependency jars by name module_a_for_c.jar and module_a_for_b.jar

How do I know if I have Sun Java Development Kit installed?
It normally happens that we need to check if JDK is installed on our system.
You can check it in a couple of ways as explained below:
For Windows:
You can check it in a couple of ways as explained below:
For Windows:
- If you are on windows and the kit was installed using the standard JDK installer you can find it in "Control Panel > Add Remove Programs".
- Also check for directories in the windows installation drive. I am assuming its C:. The location can be C:\jdk.....<version>or c:\program files\java\<java version> this folder can also contain JRE, so check the folder name, if its prefixed/suffixed with jre, then its not the right one.
- Other option is to see if environment var JAVA_HOME is set. For this just hit echo %JAVA_HOME% on command prompt. This will tell you the Java install dir.
- In case nothing was found on JAVA_HOME var, you can also echo %PATH% variable to see, if its having java in it i.e. PATH variable points to the java bin folder having executables like java, javac, jar. So in case you find any thing on it. This will take you to java install dir.
- If you have not installed using installer i.e. you have unzipped it. Then simplest is to do file search for java, javac etc. The folder holding these files will point you either to JRE or JDK
- If installed using some installer or linux tool like apt-get or yum then hit on shell $ whereis java it should show you available folders having java installed. for ex /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/share/java
- other wise just do a file search for javac, it should help like windows.

Green NBC: Jimmy Fallon's Bamboo Set, Sustainable Production Guides, Green Week Programming, and More (Photos)
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" set, fall 2009. Credit: Dana Edelson, NBC Universal, Inc.
NBC Universal and company-wide environmental initiative Green is Universal is paving the way for sustainable film and television production. From greening the set of Saturday Night Live and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to cutting carbon emissions on the feature film Away We Go, their Film and Television Production Guides outline environmental practices, from pre to post production, and are available to the industry at large for download. This past week they spread environmental awareness across television production arms; Universal Media Studios (UMS) and Universal Cable Productions (UCP), during their annual Green Week--if you missed it, watch Al Gore on 30 Rock, and more on NBC.com. Click through for highlights from the 39-page sustainable production guides and photos from green set construction at Jimmy Fallon and SNL.

NBCU Film and Television Production Guides
The step-by-step Guides outline film and television production and include instructions from pre-production through distribution. The 39-page document includes a list of resources for environmental information, sustainable film production, construction, catering, energy, and office; a glossary of terms, and case studies of the feature film Away We Go and set production on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It offers tips on hiring green vendors; informing and continuing momentum with the film crew--with key phrases like "rent instead of buy," and "reuse instead of wreck"--and provides information on green office practices, from printing on double-sided paper to purchasing clean energy from local power companies. Tips on travel, transportation, and hotels are also included, from hiring a local crew to minimizing dry cleaning. The guides are available for download, below.

Away We Go, Feature Film Case Study
The Focus Features film Away We Go, directed by Sam Mendes and shot in the spring and summer of 2008, was the subject of a pilot experiment in reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact on a feature film. The goal was to influence the attitudes of vendors and partners beyond production and reduce CO2 emissions in local and long-distance travel and transportation. The production crew reduced the number of shoot locations, rented hybrid vehicles, reduced idling time, used biodiesel, and hired contractors to manage waste and recycling. The central office in Connecticut generated 53,991 pounds of waste, and with waste redirection it was separated into 19,986 pounds of compost, 6,361 pounds of recyclable material, and 27,643 pounds of general waste. Total carbon emissions from the film production was calculated at 975 metric tons of CO2.
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Green Set in NYC
NBCU's Environmental InitiativesEarlier this year, Universal Studios Home Entertainment transitioned to a DVD case that uses 20% less plastic than a standard case. This move alone, will result in an estimated 1.8 million pound reduction in CO2 emissions by 2010. NBCU's corporate headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza have implemented a "closed loop" recycling system where they have recycled and converted over 50 tons of paper waste into cardboard DVD cases and boxes for company use.
NBC's Annual Green WeekGreen Week culminated last night with 100 Heartbeats hosted by Jeff Corwin, part of MSNBC's landmark Future Earth series--if you missed it, it's set to re-broadcast on December 6, 2009 at 8pm and 11pm EST. The series continues with the premiere of "Waterless World" on December 20, 2009. Visit NBC.com for highlights from last week, including a cameo by Al Gore on 30 Rock, Ed Begley, Jr. accepting Jay Leno's "Green Car Challenge," and the exploration of melting ice cores and green energy sources on the Nightly News.

Sanguis Imperem 'In Glory We March Towards Our Doom' review
'In Glory We March Towards Our Doom'
(Invictus Productions / Hells Headbangers)
California's Sanguis Imperem have released one of the most violent, heaviest death metal releases to be released in some time. The band doesn't try to clone or follow any of the current musical trends out now. Instead the band follows their own path of destruction and has created some of the heaviest, violent sounding death metal: fast heavy guitar riffs that range from insane whirlwind riffs and solos to a more controlled heavy mid paced riffs. The drums are furious blasts of rage but slow down with the guitars that only add to the bands heaviness and intensity. The vocals are deep, sick growls and tormented shrieks of agony. Fans who enjoy early 90's style death metal with a touch of war-metal insanity will love Sanguis Imperem and their sick vision of death metal.

It is the first year for this St. Ignace pumpkin patch. It is off US-2 on Martin Lake Rd (where the Mystery Spot is).
Because it's in St. Ignace, it didn't have to be a full-day event. Big sister was able to tag along without missing kindergarten!
Cool cows!
The fall colors are stunning!
There was no second guessing; this large pumpkin was chosen by my five year old! I carried it from Star Line to Arnold Line when we returned to the island. It weighs 23.5 lbs. My word.
My three year old looked all over the patch for her perfect pumpkin.
She found it!
She says it's cute!
It was a cold but lovely morning! We'll have to carve pumpkins soon!
Location:St. Ignace
