In Etienne Lavie's latest project, 'OMG, Who Stole My Ads?', the artist has replaced the ubiquitous ads in Paris with classical works of art.
The juxtaposition of these older artworks in the modern world certainly grabs our attention, and perhaps the artist would like us to pay more attention to art, which fuels our soul, rather than ads that urge us to buy products.
Check out these guerrilla acts below.

'Kick-Ass 2′ Eyes Lindy Booth for Heroic New Role
And the (cast) hits keep coming. 'Kick-Ass 2' is looking to add actress Lindy Booth (who you might remember best from her role in Zack Snyder's 'Dawn of the Dead' remake) to the roster in the brand new heroic role of -- wait for it -- "Night Bitch."
According to THR, Lindy Booth is in talks to play Night Bitch in 'Kick-Ass 2,' directed by (gulp) 'Cry Wolf' helmer Jeff Wadlow. 'Kick-Ass' director Matthew Vaughn is producing through his MARV Films banner, while Universal will distribute. Booth also previously starred in 'Cry Wolf.'
Night Bitch is a character who, along with many other normal, powerless citizens, takes up the cause of Kick-Ass and joins a league called "Justice Forever." Naturally, the criminal baddies they're up against prove to be a bit more than these ordinaries bargained for and they'll need to muster all their strength to fight back when the bad guys they've been messing with call for revenge.
'Kick-Ass' actors Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace-Moretz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are reprising their roles as Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, and the newly-minted Red Mist, respectively. In the first film, Kick-Ass and Hit Girl took down Red Mist's dad, leading the bratty teen to vow revenge on the duo.
Donald Faison ('Scrubs') and John Leguizamo have also joined the cast of 'Kick-Ass 2,' which starts filming in September.

I really need to become a member of a club that bottles its own whisky.
Littlemill 1989, 24 Year Old, Archives (Voyage dans l'Amérique Méridionale) with CasQueteers, 51.9%
Nose: Lots of sweet malt upon opening. Soon after, there's green apple and vanilla - quite a lot of vanilla actually, after a while. A little note of Baileys develops as well. Acetone. Seems to be a smidgeon of stone fruit lurking back there too, giving it a bit of lift and trying to make its way out.
Water brings some of this fruit out - peach.
Palate: A bit of heat upon entry. Underneath, there's honey and malt again, along with a good dose of toffee. There's plenty of apple juice here as well, with perhaps the slightest suggestion of grapefruit. Almonds. Water doesn't add too much, beyond levelling out what is already there.
Finish: Sweet, long and expansive. It begins slightly nutty and winds it way around the palate becoming increasingly peppery as it tails off.
Good drink this.
I immediately prefer it to the 1988 Littlemill from Archives I tasted a little while back, which was much drier on the palate, although similar in many other respects. It has that extra layer of fruit that I was searching for in the previous one, making it highly, enjoyably, drinkable.

Tunes From Thailand Video 2 – Part of Your World (Little Mermaid)
Stuck in Koh Samui, the Dirty Little Blondes had nothing else to do but figure out their version of the famous Disney song "Part Of Your World" from the movie the Little Mermaid. After that, they indulged Kendra's 7 year old fantasy and made a video where she got to be Ariel.
While it may be a Disney song the end product has two meter changes, two modulations and over 20 chords.
Tunes From Thailand
The Dirty Little Blondes traveled through Thailand for 64 days. While there, they created 7 "live take music videos" to share their adventures with all of you.

The Russell Group – of which Southampton is a member – has publicly supported a government act which involves scrapping the Freedom of Information Act, stating that:
The additional responsibilities created by FOI represent an unnecessary burden. Furthermore, changes in funding of higher education and the emergence of a private sector of higher education provision mean that continued application of the Freedom of Information Act to universities is unfair.
At 11:45pm today, the government is closing submission to the consultation of the 'green paper on higher education'. One of the many proposals includes a proposal to make universities exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
The Freedom of Information Act is an act passed in 2000 which gives 'right of access" to information held by public authorities.' This includes the government, local authorities, universities and emergency services among others.
At Wessex Scene, and the other student media outlets at the University and nationally – the FOI is an essential tool to hold the University to account. It helps us – and many other outlets – uphold strong investigative journalism.
The proposal is also supported by Universities UK, the group that represents 132 vice-chancellors that new our new vice-chancellor, Chris Snowden, was President of until last July. They claim it costs them over £10 million a year to respond to FOIs. Institutions are exempt from FOIs if they cost over £450 to retrieve information, suggesting there are over 20,000 requests made to Universities each year.
The Student Publication Association – which Wessex Scene and the Edge are the founding members of – have condemned this proposal and 'implore both the Russell Group and Universities UK to redraft their statements'.
You can sign the SPA's petition to stop this here. We recommend you show your disapproval by emailing and tweeting the University.
Jem Collins, the chair of the Student Publication Committee told Wessex Scene:
FOI is one of the most fundamental tools for holding universities to account. This isn't just about student journalists – it's also about all student's right to know how their, and the public's money is being spent. Scrapping FOI for universities would be a disastrous move for student journalism – our recent awards alone have shown how many shocking stories would never have come to light without the help of the act.
Wessex Scene has contacted the University for comment and is awaiting reply.

Yes, it's still very early, but it has to come as at least a little bit of a surprise to most college basketball fans that Syracuse was left out of this week's AP Top 25 poll. Nonconference wins against Florida, Kansas and Virginia were apparently not enough to vault the 6-0 Orange into the AP poll. What's even more surprising is that both Kansas (No. 22) and Florida (No. 17) each moved UP in the new standings, despite losing to the Cuse in the CBE Classic last week. And Louisville is somehow still ranked third, despite losing to Western Kentucky last night. Does that make any sense?

Tourists in Santorini have a few options when it comes to transportation around the island. There's the standard cab or bus or moped rentals. We chose the non conventional route of 4 wheelers! Going back to my southern, country roots, we took the 4-wheeler around the southern part of the island, stopping at Santo Wines, Boutari and also the black sand beach.
Santo Wines is a very popular, local winery in Santorini. We even tasted the wine on a boat tour the day before! The view from the tasting room is unparalleled. I must say, Napa, this may have you beat ;)
The vast seaside overlook was filled with chairs, welcoming wine lovers to enjoy a glass with a view.
The tasting was 1 euro per taste, not bad, and you were able to select which wines. The tasting was very impersonal. We were told which wines we could select from, a brief description of each and then we sat ourselves. No tasting notes were provided, just a handwritten list of which wines we were tasting. However, the view of the sea made up for the impersonal staff.
All in all, it was a great visit. Wine was decent, views were fantastic, I just wish the tasting was more personal so we could gain more from the experience.
|Even the hubby enjoyed sipping wine in paradise!

It is time for a brand new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge and this one is fun! It's the GOOD EGG challenge - we want to see you use ovals in your design! I will be honest, I don't use much in the way of ovals, so this was genuinely a challenge for me, but I was SO glad I pushed myself because this card turned out to be a beauty!
Yup. *sigh* It makes me happy. I created the darker background behind the vellum by layering a dark grey cardstock beneath the white panel. I used foam tape to pop up the white panel with the vellum window so there is still space between them giving it a darker, but super airy and pretty look. I am happy with it. Quitely so, actually.
Be sure to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge blog to check out what the rest of the team has come up with for this one. I think you are going to be ready to dig some ovals out of your stash pretty quickly!!! Good stuff, I tell ya!
Anyway...you can find links to the goodies I used on this one below. Thanks for reading, you guys. Sometimes I don't think I say that enough, but I really do appreciate your visits and your comments. They pretty much make my day. For reals.
Have a Happy!

Flat bond is a bond which is traded or sold without accrued interest. Clean price or flat bond refers to the price of the bond excluding any interest that has been accrued since the most recent coupon payment whereas Dirty price refers to the price of a bond including the interest that has been accrued since the most recent coupon payment.
There are 3 reasons why bonds may sold at clean price
• No interest is due on the bond
• Interest is due but the bond issuer has defaulted
• Bond's interest payment date is same as its settlement date therefore there is no additional accrued interest beyond the amount that is already paid out
For e.g. Income bonds are normally sold as flat bonds.
Let us take the example of a 20 year bond with 3% interest rate and observe its market value during its first four years. We can see that the shark tooth pattern rises and drops every six months, reflecting the bond's accrued interest that is paid out in coupon semi-annually. Also there is a gradual decrease in market value followed by a gradual increase indicating a better credit quality of the issuer.
If the two processes i.e. the change in market value and accrued interest are separated we get the clean or flat price of the bond as shown below.
Clean Price or Flat bond = Dirty Price – Accrued Interest
The bond's acrrued interest is shown below
Accrued interest = Coupon * (days between last coupon payment and settlement date/ coupon period)
Settlement date is the date on which the traded bond is exchanged and is paid for.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Flat Bond along with its overview.

GM Invests in China
Already a large player China, the world'd largest auto market, GM made another leap to secure their leading market share. Along with its joint venture partners SAIC Motors, GM spent $252.5 million to build the largest proving ground in the country.
Essentially a large test track for new cars, the proving ground will make introducing and improving vehicles made for the Chinese market that much easier. Without having to ship cars to South Korea, the United States, or any other tracks, GM will save both time and money when it comes to the creation, inspection, and final sale of the car. GM China President Kevin Wale stated, "When we look forward, our volumes are going to increase significantly and to win in the market place you have to introduce more products and introduce them quicker and better than the competition". This investment will allow them to continue building on the leading 14% market share they held last year. This move clearly shows that GM wants to control the Chinese market and prevent any other competitors from breaking the barrier.
While the Chinese auto market is currently slowing, GM is looking at their long-term prospects in a market projected to move from $12 million to $30 million in sales by the end of the decade. The building of this track is a deep seed in China that will make it much more efficient for GM to operate.
GM's initiative to develop vehicles faster comes with understanding the Chinese culture. "Speed is everything in China," Wale states. "The market moves quickly and you've got to adapt quickly." GM is clearly showing its ability and motive to act quickly and take a more commanding lead in the Chinese Market. While smaller cars are the bulk of sales for GM, the growth of wealth in China will allow for new SUV and luxury cars to be developed.

I wasn't the first to post pictures of the Liberty of London for Target bikes. I saw one of those fuchsia, floral affairs on for the love of bikes first. However, I was hanging out in the library one day perusing the magazines when I spotted a photo not-seen-on-the-internet of a Liberty of London bike in O Magazine. Unfortunately, my local branch doesn't have a scanner. That's why I'm so appreciative of Tracy at Comfort & Luxury's scans of the new bike. She did a good job at getting those tiny graphic details and you can clearly see how much the bike is and when it'll be in stores.
At $200, these bikes are priced similarly to the simple, white Muji bike, but where Muji is known for strong design and aesthetics Target is known for low prices. I haven't found any manufacturer information on the web so I can't surmise anything about the quality of these bikes. With Liberty of London's brand on the line, I don't think they would collaborate with Target on a crappy bike, do you?

Alignment to the National Development Plan
The SDF has purposively left the decision on which areas to support with stakeholders in Somaliland. The Fund has not earmarked or ring fenced support to a specific sector (a weakness cited in previous Multi Donor Trust Funds), but instead endowed Ministries, the National Planning Commission (NPC) and the SDF Joint Steering Committee with the decision-making power over where and how much to disperse resources. Since the set-up of the Fund, a rigorous prioritisation process to identify and agree upon projects for SDF support has been undertaken.
The NDP has 5 pillars, 35 sectors, 377 programmes and 809 expected outputs. However, with limited SDF financing and needs applying in a simultaneous and competing way, there is need to objectively prioritize how resources will be spent in an equitable and sustainable way.

Episode Summary
If there's one thing we learned from our Investors Board Performance Review, it's that board composition is what keeps the top institutional investors up at night. Ask any CEO or board member what makes their company different from their competitors, and they'll often answer, "our people." Yet do companies really walk the walk when it comes to investing in talent development?
Alan Guarino, Compensation Chair for The Chefs' Warehouse, discusses how directors should approach board composition and why it's so important for the Chief Human Resource Officer to have a seat at the senior management table. This episode addresses several questions, including:
- How can boards ensure they're approaching talent development effectively?
- What trends are we seeing among corporate boards when it comes to talent development?
- What's the biggest challenge facing today's compensation committee chair?
Companies and boards are recognizing the importance of paying greater attention to talent development as both a critical strategy and a driver of long-term success.
The filming of this episode of Inside America's Boardrooms was made possible by our Knowledge Partners.

Hero's Journey Things Fall Apart: Chapters 7-13 OKONKWO'S HERO'S JOURNEY NWOYE'S HERO'S JOURNEY Trial: Trial: OKONKWO'S HERO'S JOURNEY Trial: OKONKWO'S HERO'S JOURNEY Trial: OKONKWO'S HERO'S JOURNEY CALL TO ADVENTURE: Okonkwo experienced a trial when he was told by Ezeudu (the oldest man in this quarter of Umuofia) that The Oracle of the Hills and the Caves has pronounced that Ikemefuna shall be killed "Yes, Umuofia has decided to kill him. The Oracle of the Hills and the Caves has pronounced it." Chapter Seven, Page 57 Another trial that Okonkwo faced was when Ikemefuna was to be killed and Okonkwo took part even though he was not supposed to. "He heard Ikemefuna cry, "My father, they have killed me!" as he ran towards him. Dazed with fear, Okonkwo drew his machete and cut him down. He was afriad of being thought weak. Chapter Seven, Page 61 Okonkwo experiences a trial on his journey when Ekwefi wakes him in the middle of the night to say that Ezinma is dieing from "iba." "Okonkwo sprang from his bed, pushed back the bolt on his door and ran into Ekwefi's hut." Chapter Nine, Page 76 Another trial that Okonkwo faced was when he was (assumingly) chosen to represent the second "edwugwu." This was probobly a high honor, not only to be one of the edwugwu, but to be placed as the second one just behind Evil Forest. "Okonkwo's wives, and perhaps other women as well, might have noticed that the second edwugwu had the springy walk of Okonkwo. And they might have also noticed that Okonkwo was not among the titled men and elders who sat behind the row of edwugwu. But if they thought these things they kept them within themselves. Chapter 10, Page 89-90 Nwoye's Call to Adventure was when Ikemefuna arrived and became like a big brother and mentor to him. This made him want to grow up and become a man. "He was like an elder brother to Nwoye, and from the very first seemed to have kindled a new fire in the younger boy." Chapter Seven, Page 52 NWOYE'S HERO'S JOURNEY The known: The unknown: Nwoye's known world is the world of being a young boy and sitting in his mothers hut watching her cook and listening to children stories Nwoye's unknown world was the world where he began to grow up and began to sit with his father in his hut and listen to war stories. He began showing his more masculine side and began growing up all together. "They no longer spent the evenings in mother's hut while she cooked, but now sat with Okonkwo in his obi, or watched him as he tapped palm tree for the evening wine." Chapter Seven, Page 52 NWOYE'S HERO'S ADVENTURE The Abyss: Nwoye's abyss takes place when Ikefuma is taken away and killed. He lost his brother and he begins stepping backward back into the known world of womens cooking and children's stories. "Nwoye knew that Ikemefuna had been killed, and something seemed to give way inside him, like the snapping of a tightened bow. He did not cry. He just hung limp."Full transcript

Hi Bart, > I would like some clarification about technique G83: Providing text > descriptions to identify required fields that were not completed Interesting observation. My 2 cents..The first example describes the problem, while the second provides examples of how you may address it. A great evolution in WCAG 2.0 was that it provides practical examples on how to achieve compliance. While they are pretty thorough, they are not exhaustive and there are other ways to achieve compliance that may not be explicitly included. I think the idea is that you provide a rich description of the problem (such as missing data from a form field), and then ideally give the first instance of the issue focus is a complete 'loop'. You could say that just informing the user of the problem, will reach a basic level of compliance, but really to close the loop giving the user easy access to the first instance of the problem (via a negative tab index value, or scripting etc) would be ideal. So I guess you example would achieve partial conformance, but a little extra could be done to make the UI component you describe more usable. > The test procedure is not very explicit: > "Check that a text description is provided identifying the mandatory > field(s) that was not completed." Does this show a disconnect in the guidelines? Maybe, thoughts?

Time: 2230hrs
For attention of: General Harwood,
From: Lieutenant David Green, Ext. Operations.
Interrogation report.
is my duty to report that the interrogation of the
terrorist leader was unsuccessful. We tried many 'convincing'
techniques to try to extract information and intelligence
from the suspect, however, no methods were successful.
The subject was declared dead at 2144hrs this evening
after he was able to gain access to a blade and subsequently
took his own life. The soldier responsible for him
has been disciplined as per your orders and his body
disposed of in the most respectful way possible.
the course of the 6-hour interrogation, the subject
did not speak a single word. We administered every
possible 'treatment' we could to him,
but none of our efforts were rewarded. The subject's
personal artefacts are now being analysed by the science
department for possible useful intelligence.

Crown of thorns (Euphorbia), appropriately named for its spiky thorns, is a desert plant that will produce stunning blooms in shades of red, yellow, pink and white from summer to fall, as long as it's exposed to plenty of sunlight and warmth. In hot climates, crown of thorns can be grown outdoors. Otherwise, plant crown of thorns in a container and bring it in when the temperature drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Propagate crown of thorns by taking a stem cutting.
Cut a few stems from the top portion of a healthy crown of thorns plant. Use a new razor blade or a sharp knife that has been wiped with rubbing alcohol. Strip off all but the top two or three leaves.
Dip the cut ends of the crown of thorns stems in powdered rooting hormone. Put the stems on a paper towel or paper plate and set them aside in low light for one to two days, until the cut end forms a callus.
Fill a planting container with a mixture of clean, coarse sand and commercial potting mix, and dampen the potting mixture slightly. Be sure the planting container has a drainage hole in the bottom.
Plant the crown of thorns stem cuttings in the container with the leaves above the soil. Set the container in a shady spot and keep the soil barely damp. Be careful not to over water, as the crown of thorns cuttings will rot if the soil is too wet.
Move the crown of thorns stem cutting into bright sunlight when new growth appears, which should occur in about two weeks. At this point, water only when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch.

I love these ornaments because the possibilities are endless.Changing the ribbons used or your spacing can create completely different looks.
They may look extremely complicated but truthfully they aren't. They just take some time and patience.
I was taught to make these using fabric. I took it a step further and decided to use ribbon so I could eliminate a few of the prep steps. Search the internet for quilted or folded fabric ornaments if you would like to try your hand at doing it that way.
List of supplies:
1 1/2" Ribbon - It's up to you how many you want to use. I recommend a minimum or two. A dark and light or contrasting color. I prefer to use wire edged ribbon but it is not a necessity
Ruler- I used a seam gauge but one of those clear true grid rulers would probably work great.
A ka-jillion straight pins. I would use the cheapest kind you have. They hold it together and you never see them.
Iron - To use if you are using non-wired ribbon
Decorative pins
Cup - I used a regular Coffee mug to hold the ball while I worked on it. Other wise it rolls.
Glue - I didn't use any... Doesn't mean you can't.
Prep stuff:
If using 1 1/2" Ribbon, cut all of your pieces to 3". Now I haven't figured out the rhythm or reason for it but some ribbons are better at 2 7/8". This is not one of the parts you need to be crazy precise about. You need (8) 3" pieces for the centers of the ornament. You then need (16) 3" pieces for each layer after that. This covers both sides so DON'T double it.
For my example I am using a 3" ball with one layer. I am doing a shadow effect though so I am cutting out as many pieces as if I was doing two layers. The difference is the spacing between the pieces and the order that I place them.
Step One:
Your first step will be to form your center. Take 4 of the center pieces you cut out. I place my first pins on the inside of my triangle pieces. You can than fold back the flaps and your pin is hidden.
For your first triangle piece just pick a spot. This is the only one that is that carefree so ENJOY it.
You can use fabric, a picture or whatever you want for your center piece. But your 8 points are crucial. You will have to mark them somehow if you use another method for your center.
Next You will be pinning down the ends of your triangle. Because you are pinning this to a sphere shape your ends will begin to overlap. This is okay and you can usually save a few pins in these steps just make sure your main lines near the center are straight. The ends will be covered by the next layers.
Step Two:
Now we begin the second layer. Take 4 of your second layer pieces. Put your first pin into the point like you did above. Pick a measurement... This is completely up to you and what you think looks good. For my demo I used a 1/2" measurement. The ornament with a "S" uses a 1".
Accurate measurements are everything. Even if you are 1/16th" off you will quickly be able to tell. This ornaments beauty comes from its symmetry so try to keep your measurements the same along with your main compass lines straight. This is where the patience part comes in. Beauty of it though is you only have to take a few pins out to be able to fix the mistake.
For the shadow effect I mentioned about you will add your next layer or color atop the one before, before adding the next 4 pieces. The next layer is also only 1/8th of an inch away. In my mind I saw these two pieces as one even if I did have to add them separately.
|I wanted to show what I meant by overlap, at the end of step one. It gets worse the more layers you go. But its okay! This will all be hidden!
And TA-DAAAAAAAAAA you are finished with your first side. Now you just have to Rinse and Repeat...
Step Three:
Well... okay you have to mark the center of the other side before you can start pinning. I use a flexible measurement tape for this step. I measure all the way around and split that number in half, (in my case it was 4.75"). Placing one end on my starting point from the first side I measure out 4.75" and mark it. I try to get this measurement as accurate as possible so I do a few lines from different angles all starting from the same starting point. You now have your side two starting point. Follow steps 1-2 again.
|Back of one of the above ornaments
Step Four:
Side two is finished. Now we get to cover the icky bottoms of our last layers. I am sure there are different methods for this also but this one is how I do it. I use two of the ribbons I used in my ornament and a extra smaller width one. I pre-measure the two wider ribbons to go around the ornament plus an inch. The smaller ribbon just needs to be long enough to form a loop wide enough to hang, plus two 1-2 inches.
- Fold your smaller ribbon in half length wise.
- Fold one of your wider ribbons in half width wise. Iron if it is not wire edged.
- Line all the ribbon ends up and place a pin through them to keep them aligned.
- Find your North compass point of your ornament. Line up and pin your ribbon stack 1/2" to one side of this point.
Now treat each ribbon separately The bottom most ribbon will be pinned straight down the center all the way around the ornament. Leave a little bit of the end free we will finish it later. You could glue it here. I tried it and hated how it looked.
The last part of this step is to make sure the ribbon loop is free and fold over the raw edges of the two other ribbons and pin. Make sure this fold over line matches up with your North points or the ornament will hang lop-sided. These are also the only pins you can see on my ornament But if you don't like how that looks you can try glue.
Step Five:
Hang on Christmas tree and Enjoy!

Ten causes that result in Allah's love for His slave and the slave's love for his Lord by Imam ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (RH):
1.Reciting the Qur'aan while pondering over its meanings and what is meant by it.
2.Getting closer to Allah by performing voluntary deeds after completing obligatory deeds. This is as is stated in a Hadeeth Qudsi: "My slave continues getting closer to Me by performing voluntary deeds until I love him." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree]
3.Continual remembrance of Allah under all circumstances, with one's tongue, heart and actions. The extent of one's love of Allah is determined by this.
4.Giving precedence to what He loves over what you love when you are overtaken by your desires.
5.The heart being avid of Allah's Names, and Attributes and the heart roaming in that garden of knowledge.
6.Observing Allah's kindness, goodness and bounties, both hidden and open.
7.And this is the most wonderful, the heart being soft, subdued and meek before Allah.
8.Being alone with Allah during the time when the Lord descends during the last portion of the night while reading His Book and ending that by asking for forgiveness and repenting.
9.Sitting with the beloved and sincere, benefiting from the most fruitful of their speech. And not to speak unless speaking is more beneficial and you know that it will improve your state and be beneficial to others.
10.Remaining away from every cause that comes between the heart and Allah.

Life is effort tougher these days. For some, no thing how thorny they try fixed untouched try is not adequate. Almost all nation in the global has a bad narration to notify. No event who you are, when everything turns to grey, you would probably try the last-place property to go.
The substance of Natasha is a difficulty. She is a seasoned good looks insect reversed sex servile due to circumstances she has no rule of. It is the just entity she can of all time reflect of to hold up the day-after-day obstacles of enthusiasm.
Being born in Nicaragua, a terrain that has traces of the dim ago of the 1980s war, her destiny was a desolation told. Every night sleeping near bacchanalian and more than a few revolutionary men is a situation. She earns £45 daily on a flawless darkness. But for a 30-minute meeting at £2.50 per men having a number of 18 disparate men to have a slap-up day-after-day proceeds territory pay is of no value compared to the disappointment you convey to your complete self.Post ads:
how to get over cheating husband / the guardian surveillance / how stop your man cheating / remote sms forwarding / husband had an affair with someone he works with / les affaires tv / call capture b800
For Natasha, to do this disagreeable activity is larger than to do nix. But at present she complains of the nisus and shameless property that her consumers do to her physical structure. Some are ingestion her sternly disappearing repugnant man of affairs to her youthful, lithesome natural object.
When she was younger, she dreams of renown and fate as a model. But her financial gain as a attractiveness queen led her nearer to harlotry and sex effort. Because of monetary inadequacies, many an dreams in Nicaragua, the second bottom rustic in the Americas, are cracked.
Recently, a stifling on sex dens and their people was initiated. This, in turn, led to protests among prostitutes since their sex pursue was a card to acceleration from financial condition.Post ads:
cheaters cars / phone record lookup / signs he is cheating on you / how to catch husband cheating on facebook / you sure make cheating seem easy / if you think your man is cheating / rolling stones mobile recording truck
For Natasha, her decree to be an active sex menial is a desperate push. Indeed, it is her way out to give support to her family, tho' the latter doesn't know that she is exploit her proceeds from a grim origin. In cases such as this, who are we to blame? Who can serve out such victims of poverty? Is condemnatory adequate to lift them distant from specified wrong endeavor? Is this a ill-fated case?
I only probability that Natasha will discovery a man who will admire her and clutch her out of her tenebrious former. I belief her soon-to-be relation will adopt her for who she is and will lend a hand her to open a new vivacity.

Episode 14: Meat
A very different video. If a meat processing plant made a music video it might look something like this. Filmed at Lorentz Meats in Cannon Falls Minnesota and featuring the beef from Thousand Hills. If you don't like looking at carcasses and cuts of meat, this one may not be for you. But I think the hard blues from The 4onthefloor works well with butchering. Keep watching after the credits for an interview with the CFO of Loretnz Etc. – Michael Lorentz.
4 responses to "Episode 14: Meat"
I really loved it- through the whole episode Ilana kept say "cow meat, cow meat, cow meat". I would have loved to learn more about lorentz itself. We are lucky to have a place like them in Minnesota.
very cool! the music video concept was an interesting way to switch it up, and the editing and the music itself were great.
thank you for what you do.
It's shocking how little an impact a smaller operation can have in the grand scheme of consumption. It makes me an even deeper believer in my diy approach to butchery – it'd make people think about what they're eating if they had to cut it all themselves..
Great music video. I would love to see you do more videos of small slaughterhouses and butcher shops as you go around the country. I'm looking for ideas. I've visited many and find it very informative to see how others have solved problems because our family is building our own on-farm USDA/State inspected slaughterhouse and butcher shop for meat processing of our pastured pigs.
Getting processing slots is critical to getting our locally raised pasture pork to our customer's fork. Additionally, processing through hired butchers costs us one third to half our gross income and the offal (1/3rd of the pig) is lost to us when it could come back to be composted for our soil. Bringing processing on farm not only makes our farm more secure but it doubles our profits and makes our farm more sustainable, something the next generation can carry on.
What we need is a lot of small facilities. There used to be many serving local farms rather than the current situation of our having to drive seven hours each week to the butcher. Let's change that – we are.

This is worth checking out just for the sheer freshness of it! A Gundam converted into a Halo Spartan by Mdgelo of Mechdesigns. Actually the idea did cross my mind before, but looks like he beat me to it! :P And a fine job he's done too. For the uninitiated, Halo is an ultra popular video game on Xbox. The main characters are not mechs but rather, super-enhanced human soldiers in high tech armour (think military Iron Man), recruited to defend mankind against an alien invasion. They're called Spartans. There, now you know.
Here's what the original Spartans look like:
I'd say it's a kickass job! Can you spot the various parts used besides the GM base kit? I think I see some Astray in there. LOL.
WIPs. Full marks for details!

It's the end of the school year for our local public schools, and this is the last week that we are watching our sweet little friend, Grace. Her mom is a teacher, so while we may have a playdate or two over the summer, today is our last Thursday together. I know three little kids who are going to miss their regular playtimes with their friend!
The kids requested that I take pictures of them playing together, so we quickly snapped a few pictures outside. (Jensyn insisted on wearing her Dora jammies & holding her favorite "piwwow"…and Max refused to sit with everyone else in the grass, even though he really wanted me to take the pictures.)
The picture below is my favorite. These two have been playmates since they were just a little over 2 years old. My, how they've changed in the past few years!

I worked in Earle Whyte's drapery shop in Ballybofey. I was just filling in a gap while I was waiting to do nursing, It was quite pleasant, I was a messenger. I also worked in Strabane and smuggled material across the border. – Jean Wilson
My first job was in a restaurant where I was a cashier and serving coffee. I got my coffee every day and there was a bakery attached so I could eat what I wanted. The hours were long but I got lots of pocket money. You used to get things like custard slices and there were loads of different types of pies. – Jean Wray
I did work in an old peoples home doing accounts in the morning. I got under £2 a week. It was lovely and the staff were lovely but I was stuck in an office. I went to London in 1964 to work in the Institute of Bankers. I remember at the time the computer filled the whole room. It was used to store the records of the people who did their exams there. The computers worked on binary code with cards and lights. – Ann Kavanagh
I just left before the exams started in the royal. My first job was 'dropping' potatoes (planting) out of an apron. You got a bag and made it into an apron and you got the potatoes into it. The drills were open in the ground and you walked along and dropped the potatoes. When you were finished you would fill the bag again. You would cut the potato in two to get the seed and plant them then. It was all manual labour. You would have been sowing the corn and making ready the ground for turnips. There was no precision sowers at that time, it sowed thick at the time and you had to go along after it and thin it out. – John Patterson
My first job was a primary school teacher in Killygordon. I earned £28 a month. I taught with Gretta Maxwell. – Anne Thompson
When we came back from Australia we bought a brand new Volkswagon beetle. It cost £810. To go from Lifford from Dublin cost £22 return. – Anne Kavanagh
When I left school I went to work for my uncle at the threshing. It was just at the stage where it was coming to the end of the threshing. I loved the work, I really enjoyed it, it was hard work but it was great fun because neighbours gathered round and helped each other. At that time the men were all fed where they were threshing at. Whenever I was growing up there was always about ten men at the dinner, everybody ate together in the room at the big table. There was both Catholic and Protestants. Whenever I was going out to work with my uncle the class division came about, men were divided up between the rooms based on class distinction, for example land owners and farmers. I was getting about £5 a week at the time. I did that for a few years in the early 60's then the combine harvester took over. I started to farm then on my own. Farming then was always great fun, it was always cheery. Now farming has become a very lonely occupation. – Harry Wallace
I worked as a social worker in Strabane. When I got the job I needed a driving licence, you couldn't drive on your own in the north, I practiced with my father at the time. The third week I was working there I was made to make the tea, I went to make the tea, and lo and behold there was man with a gun behind me. He told me they'd planted a bomb and to get out. So we got out and told a police officer, but he hadn't the authority to close the road so we stopped the traffic ourselves and then the bomb went off. My wee car which I had to borrow money for had four or five holes in the roof of it. Then we moved into a gate lodge at Greenfield. We were trying to sort it out for ages, there were no heaters there, and the men didn't know how to change the plugs. We were only there a fortnight when we were blown up again. We had to work from home then, it was difficult, all our records were destroyed. In saying that I found it a very interesting job. I went to the door to a man in Aghyaran. I started to say my name and he stopped me and said 'say no more!' He asked his wife to come and asked her who did I look like, and she said my mother's name, who used to call around visiting the sick 25 years before! – Heather Cromie
My first job was on a poultry farm, where the owners studied different methods of rearing hens. They had houses with hens in battery cages, houses with hens in deep litter and pens of free range hens. There was also a hatcher from where day old chicks were sold. One of my jobs would have been grading and coding eggs and looking after the incubators. The farm was beside a river and the local dump and when a flood came it was a day's sport for the owner, his dog and the male employees shooting at the rats as the rising waters invaded their homes. I lived with the family in their supposedly haunted home and was paid £7 10s 0dd per week. – Mary Carlin
'I used to babysit a lot at the weekends in a big farmhouse (Rankin's) when I was 13. I worked in Davey McCrabbs sweet shop each lunch time from 1 until 2 Monday to Friday while at The Tech in Raphoe (renamed Deele College). There was just the three of us helping to give the student's sweets. The shop had a wooden floor and counter, there was no till you just counted all the money. Davey done all the weighing of the sweets. The sweets were all on shelves in big glass jars, they sold cola cubes, pink and white bon bons, midget gems, tayto crisps, love hearts, candy cigarettes...he sold real cigarettes too, mostly in singles. I really enjoyed my time in the shop I got paid £1.00 each day.' - Teresa Duffy

Open source business intelligence provider, Pentaho, has announced a new version of its ETL (extraction, transformation and loading) platform Kettle. Pentaho has updated Kettle with features to support big data and moved the project to Apache.
A Kettle Full of Big Data
Big data is all the rage. Companies are hoarding data in hopes of discovering some well-hidden insight that will boost their competitiveness. Although big data generates interest from almost everyone, not everyone can use the tools. Big data tools are notoriously complex, which discourages many organizations from even attempting to analyze the ever growing, non-structured data stores. Pentaho hopes to change that.
Pentaho has designed its tools to make big data accessible to users without the deep knowledge that's often required to get even the simplest of answers from big data technologies. The latest release of Pentaho's data integration platform, Kettle 4.3, allows users to input, output, manipulate and analyze data using almost any distribution of NoSQL powerhouse Hadoop. Kettle 4.3 also includes support for several popular NoSQL repositories like Cassandra, Hadoop, Hadapt, HBase, Hiv, HPCC and MongoDB.
In addition to better support for big data, Pentaho has moved Kettle under Apache 2.0. A community version of Kettle has always been available, but the move to Apache puts Kettle under the same licensing umbrella already used for popular big data tools like Hadoop. This move makes the licensing a little less complex for organizations considering an open source approach to big data. This is a smart move given all the confusion around Kettle in the market.
Getting More Information
Downloads, how-to documents and informational videos about Kettle are available from Pentaho. Pentaho is also conducting a free webinar, which will include a live demo of Kettle on February 9. If you happen to be attending the 2012 Strata conference, Pentaho is providing free hands-on training on February 28 during the Tuesday Tutorials sessions.

About Tilo Uischner
Always been asked why I have chosen to work with wood I can only say that I love this material for so many reasons. It brings its own story into the picture, it reveals its character while you work with it and keeps its final secret till the moment when you apply the first layer of laquer. Wood for ages was around people to create homes, warmth or to decorate. I think it is almost exclusively seen as something very positive and in my pictures it constitutes an inviting familiarity although one might find something unexpected behind trusted facades. I focus on people and try to portrait them as they would tell me the truth about who they are and what they have experienced. Moments of honesty, situations of importance provocing questions, answers and all kind of interpretations I want to conserve and to present in a neutral and subtle way. Very often these stories are about me. Mostly I avoid titles or symbols explaining too much or directing the viewers to a certain interpretation. Always searching for ambivalent facial expressions or circumstances I want to prevent the possibility of a clear, an absolute, an objective way of explanation. One should just feel it as an impulse and refer to ones own character. For me it is very exciting how different the spectators respond to what they see. And when they oscillate between two different ways of reading, such like between play or danger, trustfull naivity or aware coquetry, pure satisfaction or existential boredom it is like they would be stuck between the two sides of a medal. Although the need to paint aroused at an early age I followed different ways till I became a full time artist. Getting in contact with the fascinating technique of marquetry happened by coincidence and like painting I taught myself by reading books, copying old masters and trusting in the method of try and error. Now I combine the traditional craftsmanship with contemporary acrylic painting trying to blur the line between wood and paint.

By S. J. Brown
On the day each of us was born our parents gave us a special name they pondered over for weeks or even months. Parents have been known to name their children after friends or relatives, places, objects, and myths. Many people who aren't fond of their given name will use their middle name or a nick name. But does it really matter?
Let's think about this, would Hulk Hogan have been taken seriously if he used his given name Terry Jean Bollette? How popular would dear Abby's column be if it was called Dear Pauline?
How would using the scientific name for animals change your perception of them? Isa Eutamias as cute as a chipmunk?
Could you image calling our national symbol, Haliaeetus leucocephalus ?
How about having Meleagris gallopavo for Thanksgiving dinner?
Do you think you would watch a Geococcyx californianus cartoon?
I am often asked about my name. Once you say it a few times it doesn't sound odd. It is a form of my given name. Why not just use my name? It's not a bad name, just very popular among my generation. Early in my wildlife photography career I switched to using my initials in an attempt to get my work looked at and considered for publication.
Most publishers then and several now believe a woman couldn't get the kinds of wildlife they were looking for. The train of thought here is that only a man would get close enough to capture the a bear, or alligator photograph that would captivate their audience.
Most photo submissions are done over the internet and don't require any real interaction between me and the publishers that purchase my work. That means the majority of publishers assume I am a man when they review my work. Yes the check is made out to MR. S. J. Brown, but the bank will cash it for me.
Have you ever considered changing your name? Has someone's name caused you to make assumptions about them?

Title: Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1)
Author: Leigh Bardugo
Release Date: September 29th 2015
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
Age Group: Young Adult
Release Date: September 29th 2015
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
Age Group: Young Adult
Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price—and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can't pull it off alone...
A convict with a thirst for revenge.
A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager.
A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes.
Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz's crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don't kill each other first.
First, let me just say this: Six of Crows is even better than the Grisha trilogy. This baby didn't just blow those books out of the water, it stringed them up, took a bite out of each of them, and shot them in the chest before hacking them into pieces. Yeah, this baby's somewhat violent. Apologies.
Set in the same world as the original trilogy, the similarities between this book and the first three really does quite end there. Six of Crows is more mature in tone and, despite the multiple perspectives, it actually tugged more of my heartstrings than the original trilogy. And I personally find it more fun to read about juvenile bastards than heroes, so just read this book and judge it yourself.
A gambler, a convict, a wayward son, a lost Grisha, a Suli girl who had become a killer, a boy from the Barrel who had become something worse.We see underdogs in almost every single story we follow, be it in books or movies, but these particular six are just so damn special and unforgettable. They each have their vulnerabilities and weaknesses, each with their own demon chasing after them, but when used against them, it cripples them only for a second before empowering them to make the hard choices, and it is in these moments that they shine brightest. But perhaps what I enjoyed more was seeing them work and putting their talents together, because that is when we see that they truly will give their enemies a run for their money.
"Sure of yourself, aren't you, Brekker?"
"Myself and nothing else."But I think most would agree with me when I say that Kaz Brekker is the star of the show. Not even fifty pages in and already we are sampled the delight that his character is. Merciless, greedy, and unforgiving, he's the one most enshadowed in mystery, and for the most part we are kept guessing at just what motivates this monster of a boy, what skeletons he has in his closet, why he does what he does and why he is what he is. This role is usually reserved for the villain, but Leigh Bardugo has tastefully given that treatment to this main character, and I just enjoyed every single moment that we see deeper into him.
They say nothing is perfect, but Six of Crows comes pretty damn close to it. Complete with boys who like boys and girls who like to kick ass, it had me hooked from start to finish, no matter if I was reading it in the middle of a busy hallway or in bed after almost twenty-four hours without sleep. Now that I think about it, I have absolutely nothing to complain about with regard to this book - oh, maybe except that ending, because it has me craving for the sequel like a Grisha on parem, ergo Leigh Bardugo is cruel.
MY FAVORITE PART was
"I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all."#FEELS #DEAD

Great job Lou,and see you in August.
Terry Prince's love for racing and Vincent motorcycles started In 1950 when Terry's father took him, then 12 years old, to watch the Brighton speed trails, where George Brown was riding his Vincent-powered special, NERO. It was a day that was to affect the rest of young Terry's life.
At the age of 16 Terry bought his first Vincent that he still races today. This Londoner embarked on a life's work of engineering and manufacturing high performance parts for Vincent motorcycle racing.
Terry was an engineer for Fritz Egli, where he helped to create the Egli Vincent. The TPV was inspired by those machines.Now living in Australia for the past 30 years Terry owns and operates Classic Motor Bikes a high performance shop that people from around the world get their parts for racing.

Cooking a perfectly poached egg may seem like an intimidating endeavor, but the successful execution of a few simple techniques are the keys to achieving luxurious, runny yolks surrounded by delicately set, opaque whites. Introducing an egg to a gently simmering pot of water, or microwaving submerged in water, covered, will produce the perfectly poached egg you desire, no special equipment required.
Stovetop Poached Eggs
Fill a pot with 4 to 5 inches of water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat; there should be small bubbles steadily breaking the surface, but avoid bringing to a rolling boil. If the bubbles are large and aggressively breaking the surface, turn down the heat.
Add a healthy pour of white wine vinegar to the simmering water, as this helps the egg firm up while it cooks. Use a 1 to 8 ratio of vinegar to water for the best results. Avoid adding too much vinegar as the egg will take on the flavor.
Use a spoon to swirl the simmering water to create a vortex. Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Gently pour the egg into the center of the vortex, white first, keeping the bowl or ramekin close to the water to help keep the egg together.
Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. Remove the poached egg from the water with a slotted spoon. Use the spoon to trim any excess wisps of egg white by pressing the spoon against the sides of the pan to cut off the wisps.
Set the poached egg on a bed of paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Serve immediately with buttered toast and a side of bacon or sausage.
Microwave Poached Eggs
Fill a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin with 1/2 cup of water. Crack an egg into the bowl or ramekin, making sure that the egg is completely submerged in the water.
Cover the bowl or ramekin with a saucer to trap the heat while the egg cooks. Microwave the egg on high for approximately 1 minute, or until the egg white is set and the yolk is runny.
Remove the egg from the bowl or ramekin, carefully, using a slotted spoon. Set the poached egg on a bed of paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Serve immediately atop a fresh garden salad or rice bowl.
For the best results, use the freshest eggs available.
Use an egg poaching tool, such as a silicon egg poaching cup or a metallic ring, to assist in making eggs that are uniform in appearance.
Don't salt the water, as it results in wispy, broken-off strands of egg whites. If you want to salt your poached egg, do so after it has finished cooking.

What are the dimensions of that motor?
Motor was bought from a Brammo employee to be used on a dirt bike project but it's time to focus on other projects so it's time to sell. The GVM142 is the motor used on the Brammo Empulse. The motor is used but in great condition and was inspected at the factory.
Sevcon Gen 4 size 4 in good condition was bought from an endless sphere member in the Netherlands and was off of a GoVecs scooter. Could be used with the GVM142 but only with replacement encoder for UVW but could be bought from the same OEM that supplied the original
Price $950
No longer for sale

The new board leadership at InterCommunity stretches across generations with retired attorney, James Kelly leading the addiction services board and rising star lawyer, Rebecca Paolino, heading up the community health side. (Pictured from left to right: Rebecca Paolino, InterCommunity's Board Chair; Kimberly Beauregard, President & CEO of InterCommunity; and James Kelly, InterCommunity Recovery Centers' Board Chair.)
The organization, now a combination of InterCommunity and Alcohol and Drug Recovery Centers (ADRC), still operates with a dual Board of Directors structure. These two leaders are eager to collaborate to ensure greater Hartford residents have access to meaningful help and support to deal with life's challenges.
"Bringing the two organizations together seemed like a marriage in heaven. We had a narrow focus before, and now together we can offer so much more," said James, adding the ADRC history and legacy will still be preserved.
A Manchester resident, father of two daughters and longtime foster care provider, James has been involved with the organization for the last 25 years. He was introduced to ADRC during his own recovery from alcohol addiction — and he hasn't looked back.
"I'm still involved in a 12-step program today. I spread the message of sobriety and recovery. I let others know they have the ability to reach out and ask for help. I want to make a difference in others' lives as much as I can," he said.
James spends at least a month a year in Florida with his wife of 30 years. Highlights of his retirement include attending NASCAR's Daytona 500, playing golf often and giving Bridge lessons. In the summer, he boards a 26-ft trailer to road trip through Rhode Island and up and down the Northeast.
Rebecca became involved with the Board of Directors after meeting CEO Kim Beauregard at a non-profit event. Then a board member for My Sisters' Place, Rebecca was intrigued by the organization's focus on mental and behavioral health, and its vision to expand into primary care.
As a criminal defense attorney with Gerace & Associates in Hartford, Rebecca connects clients in the courthouse to health care and addiction services. She even keeps a script pad with the detox emergency hotline in her purse. Just in case.
"InterCommunity is health care for the whole person. To be part of that is truly fulfilling," said Rebecca. "There is much more consistency and efficiency in the care we now provide. Patients can get a flu shot or blood pressure checked, receive referrals to specialists or counseling services."
Both Rebecca and James agree the expansion of the organization's detox program is critical today, especially with the opioid epidemic the state is facing. "People who never thought they would have access to treatment are finally getting the help they need," said Rebecca.
Rebecca comes from an UConn family, where her parents met during their undergraduate years. She earned a bachelor's degree from the university and, subsequently, a law degree from Quinnipiac University. Her military husband of two years is now attending UConn Law School in Hartford.
A resident of Hebron, Rebecca is immediate past chair of the Board of Directors for My Sisters' Place, member of the Connecticut Bar Association and the CT Italian American Bar Association. She serves as an ambassador for reSET, a startup initiative in Hartford, where she volunteered on the Legislative Action Committee.

We've all said that before, I know, but when I realised that this is my first post for August (and it's halfway through the month) I couldn't believe it!! Seeing as I use my blog as a bit of a diary, that means theres's now a pretty big gap in my life :-)
A couple of posts ago I hinted at busy times coming up with the arrival of our first calf... well it's been all go since then. All of a sudden we are nearly three quarters of the way through calving - boy, have we been busy, but thank goodness, everything has gone fairly smoothly and we have lots of healthy calves and cows.
Sewing time recently has been spent finishing a quilt I made this year -I was lucky to make the shop sample for this year's Country Yard Mystery Quilt.
The fabric was a gorgeous Robyn Pandolf range, 'Fancy Hill Farm'.
So I did a bit of stippling, free motion style. Then I carefully used the darning foot to go around the appliquéd and embroidered flowers.
I got stuck next, as my fmq wasn't up to fancy stuff in other blocks, but finally decided to use the walking foot to fill more gaps.
see more of it here).
|As always, amazing to see two versions of the same quilt in different fabrics.
And it's back to Beanies by the Fire weather again!!! We aren't as affected by the Polar Blast as other parts of the country (see here and here) - although we thought we saw a little snow on the hills in the distance this morning (??) - but for us it's still been pretty cold and miserable.
Once the farm jobs are done it's nice to come inside and stitch by the fire!
