Okay, I know that my head is not totally in the clouds, but this is an unresolved issue.
When I started wondering if I could tell if anyone was even following my blog (Bueller? Bueller?), I searched on WordPress help and saw a few posts about email subscriptions and that word 'Feedburner' popped up again. Yeah, I've seen it, and yeah, I generally get that it has to do with directing traffic in and out of a blog.
So then I looked some more. Come on people–could it be a little less tech-geeky out there?!? After clicking on my sixth link from a web search 'feedburner what is', I gave up and decided to write this post.
When reading the statement 'claim your blog' makes you think 'Hmm. I started the blog. Isn't that claiming it??' you know there's some lingo that's obfuscating the real meaining. When you're confronted with a suggestion to claim your feeds, and you're wondering what in the world that even means, there should be an easy answer.
Here's one for Feeds.
And then from there, it's a bunch of goobledygook for me.
Here's hoping you have better luck, and I'll climb back on this horse another day.

Here's a new poem contributed by the writer, Molly Rosenberg.
Twenty-four years
Twenty-four years, time passes, cobwebs gather,
Dust settles into crevices and cracks so tiny
They are imperceptible to the naked eye.
I hear the echoes of laughter, the tears of misery
The rustle of paper long since discarded
From beribboned gifts.
I hear the eager, excited footsteps on the path
And then retreating as the door is closed
For that one last time. . . gone for ever.
Twenty-four years, time passes,
The garden wraps itself around the house,
The wheels on once shiny Birthday bikes no longer spin.
The moss has overtaken the goal mouth,
The balls – punctured – lie in undergrowth
So thick it appears to have devoured
All formality of neat lines and ordered beds.
I see a muddied toy soldier embedded in the earth,
Missing the soft skin that once drilled him
Through the forests of the imagination. . . gone for ever.

The hTH-GFP rat was developed in collaboration between The Michael J Fox Foundation, Thomas Jefferson University, and Taconic. DNA fragments including 10.794 kb of the distal hTH promoter and 1.168 kb of proximal hTH promoter were ligated and placed upstream of the GFP reporter gene to create the hTH-GFP construct. This model was created through pronuclear injection of the hTH-GFP construct into NTac:SD zygotes. hTH-GFP founder line 7 (model 12108) was bred to NTac:SD for initial characterization. The colony is maintained by mating a NTac:SD female with a hemizygous male to produce hemizygous pups.

Wind: SW at 8 to 14, average 11 kts
Temp: 76 F, Baro: 30.10"
Current: ebbing North Hill 17:15
Course: sf-DM-s/f*2, 1nm at 220; Race Length: 4 nm
Crew: Brian, Adam, Dan, & RW
The class turnout was small, due to the all-day rain storm I assume. It began to clear some near 4 o'clock though too late for many I assume.
The start area was in the vicinity of the old Mudhead's "X", tucked between Horseshoe & Groton Long Point. We decided to favor the left as there appeared to be more wind to the east of the rhumbline. We had a good start on the line and to windward of Cosmic, Zallee & Jolly Mon, with Merganser & Zara trailing. Zallee was the first to tack to port. We followed Jolly Mon, with Cosmic farther out nearly on the layline, if not overstood. Cosmic was first to round the mark, followed by Zallee then Jolly Mon.
After a short starboard jibe following the set, we jibed for a long port to the leeward, for a timely douse. We decided on the right for the next upwind, due to the threat of increasing current. The result was an average COG of 35 degrees off the rhumb versus the 45 to 50 to the left on the first upwind, and was certainly faster by 2 plus minutes. Average tws on first upwind was 11 kts versus 10 on the second. Should we have gone right from the start?
The downwind to the finish was nearly identical to the first.
Wind: SW at 0 to 6, average 3 kts
Temp: 72 F, Baro: 30.16"
Current: last of ebb, flood North Hill 18:45
Course: sf-DM-s/f*2, 1nm at 190 Race Length: 4 nm
Crew: Brian, Dan, Tracy & RW
The RC chose to setup the s/f in the approach to West Harbor between the Flat Hammock nun & the West Clump can. We were running late and it is somewhat father motor than the standard Groton Long Point starting area. As we were approaching the line from a good distance yet, I pulled the fuel line at 6 minutes, the engine quit at 5. Were slightly to starboard of the RC boat, as Brian & Dan stored the motor and Tracy trimmed, we sailed right to the line as the gun went off. Fortunately with the remaining ebb, we were nearest the committee boat in clear air with Sans Souci, Cosmic, and Jolly Mon & Zallee all to leeward towards the pin along the line, Merganser trailing somewhat behind.
Within minute or so of the start, both Cosmic & Sans Souci tacked to port, Cosmic for just a short hitch for clear air, while Sans Souci continued to the right toward Flat Hammock. We continued east trailing Zallee & Jolly Mon towards Clay Point, into the shallows, tacked back out then in again. Maybe flooding there already, there appeared to have been a countervailing current near shore.
Approaching the windward mark, Sans Souci converged from the right and rounded outside of us, pulled slightly ahead to jibe back towards flat Hammock. We continued east as there appeared to be more breeze there, yet Sans Souci rounded the leeward mark slightly ahead & continued again up the west side. Our second windward leg was in much lighter wind, and again a review of the chart shows a header approaching shallows. I surmise on this upwind, there may have been a current boost from the flood alongside the Hammock, giving Sans Souci the edge.
Following a good set we continued out to the east again where we felt the breeze better, with a San Souci going back to the west side of the course. It looked like the wind was stronger ahead, so I maintained a fresh course. We did not think till halfway through the second starboard jibe to edge off the wind to a course less headed by the current and use it to set us toward the rhumbline. On our final port for the finish, we were all down on the leeward side, except for Dan trimming from the companionway. I could not see the finish nor the pin as the sail was in the way. I should have used Brian more for guidance to the pin for the final jibe to cross. As it was, we were swept above the pin & line requiring better part of a minute to cross alongside Quantum Leap.
Wind: SSW at 6 to 12, average 9 kts
Temp: 78 F, Baro: 29.88"
Current: last of flood, ebb North Hill 17:35
Course: sf-N-I-s/f-N-s/f, Race Length: 6.2 nm
Crew: Brian, Adam, Josh & RW
I had hoped to start near the RC, yet due to a last minute sheet issue we ended up nearer the pin, trailing Jolly Mon & Zallee. Jolly Mon had a problem with Liquid Foundation which we were able to able to avoid by falling off some directly after the start.
I miss-calculated the current due to a bad data input to our spreadsheet. Had we anticipated the earlier ebb we may have tucked in on the northeast side of North Dumpling on the first leg as we did on the second upwind.
We had a good rounding and set at North Hill and chose to continue with the spinnaker following the jibe at Intrepid. Some boats were not able to do so. Following a timely douse, we continued on port then a series of tacks to work up the northeast of North Dumpling, then across the channel towards South Dumpling for a close port/starboard encounter with Ticker. After tacking to starboard along the west shore of South Dumpling, we skipped over a couple rocks inside the can prior to tacking for the N2.

Wind: SW at 4 to 10, average 6 kts

Current: last of flood, ebb North Hill 18:35
Course: sf-N-I-s/f-N-s/f, Race Length: 6.7 nm
Crew: Brian, Adam, Dan & RW
The RC chose a long course this evening, upwind for a port rounding of the North Hill bell, then a spinnaker reach for a jibe at Intrepid to the s/f then up to North Hill & back. We were the most windward boat at the start near the RC, yet after a couple minutes were forced to tack by Jolly Mon on our lee. After a couple minutes we were back on starboard towards the channel between the Dumplings. We had a good rounding and set for the reach to Intrepid where Brian lowered the pole for the tighter reach to the leeward mark.
On the second upwind we chose to go west of North Dumpling as the wind began to die as did our position in the fleet.

SOUTH PORTLAND — Three task forces are finishing up recommendations that will be considered during the upcoming school budget deliberations.
Superintendent Suzanne Godin said it will be up to the School Board whether to implement any of the changes.
A group studying the potential outsourcing of custodial services has instead recommended eliminating eight positions, three of which are vacant, and switching to a team-cleaning plan that could save $364,000 to $392,000.
Last year, the board considered outsourcing all custodial services, estimating it would save nearly $920,000.
Meanwhile, a group studying co-curricular activities has recommended implemented a pay-to-participate model for student activities, as well as establishing an alumni association and changing its advertising policy to increase revenue.
A document outlining activity fees indicates families would have to pay $150 per sport, $50 for the first activity and $35 for a second activity. A middle school student would pay $75 for the first sport, $50 for a second sport, $15 for one activity and $10 for a second activity.
Students receiving free and reduced lunch would be exempt from the fees. A full refund would be given to students who quit within seven days, and to athletes who sustain season-ending injuries or illnesses.
A group studying a time line and structure to reduce middle school costs, however, was delayed by the effort to pass a bond to renovate and expand South Portland High School, Godin said.
Last year, the board considered closing Mahoney Middle School and shifting students to Memorial Middle School – a move that was estimated to save nearly $1 million.
The group was originally scheduled to present findings this month, but the deadline has been pushed back to January or February.

It was the last morning of our stay in Namibia, the second stop in Overseas Adventure Travel's fabulous five-week tour, Out of Africa. We gathered in the lodge after breakfast for a lecture on women's lives. Priscilla talked to us about education, marriage, childbirth, work. She called me forward to demonstrate the woman's traditional garment, a sarong that she could wrap around her waist like a skirt , or drape around her shoulders as a shawl, or wrap around her body as a baby carrier. Her sarong was black and white, with a print of giraffes. Then it was time to leave. The staff of the Lianshulu Bush Lodge sang a farewell, and we boarded the passenger boat that would take us down the Kwando River to our landing in Botswana. At the same time, the staff loaded our bags on a much faster boat, Priscilla at the helm with the giraffe sarong wrapped around her shoulders. Their boat raced ahead of us to get our bags unloaded before we arrived. When we reached the Botswana checkpoint, Priscilla told me that the wind had blown her shawl away, and it was lost in the river. I asked her how much it had cost, and she said $7. I thought at the time, I wish I could buy her a new length of cotton, but of course there was no place to shop on that isolated river bank.
Botswana's Okavango Delta was our next stop, and then Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. No place anywhere to buy a new sarong. Our last stop in this first half of the trip was the city of Victoria Falls. We stayed in a real hotel, not a camp, but around the corner was an enormous crafts market. There is little work in Zimbabwe beyond tourism; very hungry people begged us to buy their wood carvings, their beadwork, their baskets, but I was already loaded down with crafts of three countries. Finally I saw what I was looking for: on a raised platform I saw heaps and piles of fabric. As I approached the women unfolded their wares and held them up for me, bright prints in every color you can imagine, but I was firm. "I want giraffes," I kept repeating, "I want giraffes." I didn't hope to find black and white giraffes, I thought any giraffe print would do, but then I saw it! The very same black and white print that Priscilla and I had worn in Namibia. The negotiations began. This kind of back-and-forth bargaining is customary in many countries, but I hate it. Still I know it is expected. The seller started with an exorbitant price, $12. (Zimbabwe's money system is non-existent. All commerce is done in US dollars or South African rand.) I countered with $4. She came down and I went up. We were at $7 and I thought she would come down to $6, but then I remembered what Priscilla had told me and I decided that $7 was the right price to pay.
Back at the hotel, I had Don take a picture of me modeling the new sarong. I asked our guide, Abiot, if he would take a new sarong to Priscilla if I bought one, and he said he would be going back to Lianshulu Bush Lodge on his next trip and would be happy to take it. "I knew you would say that!" I told him. "I already bought it!" That was on October 30. On December 2 I had an email from Nadja, the other manager of the lodge. "Priscilla has asked me to reply on her behalf. She has just received the letter and Sarong you sent for her with Abiot. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and she cannot begin to express how much she appreciates it!"

What Is Affluence Network Hoax – Binary MLM
Thank you for coming to our site in looking for "What Is Affluence Network Hoax" online.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to comprehend how the process works in and of itself, but it's simply important to comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can just select to print endless amounts (I 'm not saying they're doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network is now the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that offer long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally links in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the right spot at the right time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet together these businesses decide how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it repaired. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any centralized company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to manage or to stop operation.

Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, depending on the number of shares won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it really is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a secure flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the reward.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers assert that there's real worth, even through there isn't any physical representation of that worth. The worth rises due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that is worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some form of wages to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which will be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is provided by another address, which is a wallet file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades resides. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It is also possible that the regulators simply don't comprehend the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act.
In case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could also be exchanged being a thing. Proponents of cryptocurrencies announce that this form of online money is not controlled by a key banking system and it is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a restricted variety of items, this cashis benefit is dependant on market forces, permitting entrepreneurs to deal over cryptocurrency exchanges.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the character of the process by which it's transacted. All purchases on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. When youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short-term where your customers can dispute or require a refunds, or employ unethical sleight of hand. Used, many investors would be smart to work with a cost processor, due to the permanent character of crypto-currency dealings, you must ensure that security is tough. With any type of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your private recommendations and therefore steal your money. However, you probably can never obtain it back. It's quite crucial for you yourself to follow some very good safe and sound practices when working with any cryptocurrency. This may protect you from all of these negative events.

Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making substantial ammonts of cash with various forms of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin design provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very profitable business models made available because of the growing use of blockchain technology.
It should be challenging to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having little increases is more lucrative than trying to resist up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and reward in monies that have not made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz.
You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times)

I've read two of his four prose collections, Getting Even & Side Effects, both of which I enjoyed immensely. Still, that being only a fraction of his work, I feel entirely unqualified to be writing about Woody Allen. I suppose this is a disclaimer. Well, anyways…
Allen's 50 year film career has seen dizzying peaks, ocean-floor lows, and just about every single notch of the atmosphere in between. At this point, his Stephen King-level rate of output (averaging a film per year) can seemingly only yield two results: (1) a taut, eloquent, philosophically engaging tour de force that couldn't possibly have been achieved in a year; or (2), a tired, plot-retreading dud that can't help but feel both rushed, and even worse, forced. IRRATIONAL MAN is, unfortunately, a #2.
That's not to say the film is all bad. Stars Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone (who is apparently Woody's latest muse), and Parker Posey all nail their roles. Phoenix is almost too believable as the drunken, nihilistic philosophy professor Abe Lucas, and both Stone and Posey succeed in adding depth to cliché characters – Stone, the doting grad student who has fallen hopelessly for her enigmatic professor, and Posey, the unhappily married romantic longing to be whisked away to Spain to start anew. The questions Allen raises with the film are not entirely without merit, either. Engaging with Kant, Kierkegaard, and Sartre (by way of Abe's classroom lectures), he waxes on the question of objective morality – more specifically, the notion of a justifiable murder. Perhaps the best morsel of philosophy Allen espouses through Abe is a simple point levied at the arguers of a perfect world (Plato's ideal forms, Kant's "No-Lying" world, etc.) – that those worlds are simply not reality – not the "real" world we're speaking in, and therefore irrelevant to "me."
Aside from all this, it's inarguable that IRRATIONAL MAN was ripped right out of Allen's old, sometimes-trusty playbook. The back-and-forth voiceover narration of Phoenix and Stone attempts to infuse the story with thoughtful insight, but comes off stuffy and only adds to the film's rushed feeling. It relies on the typical Allen tropes of nihilism, morality, inappropriate relationships, love triangles, self-deprecation, and the like, which render the film ironically just too "Woody Allen." The murder plot itself too closely resembles Allen's earlier works CRIMES & MISDEMEANORS and MATCH POINT, which both had far more believable motivations. It becomes clear just how much Allen was phoning this one in when the flashlight serves the same-but-opposite "unexpected" purpose as the ring in MATCH POINT. Nice try, Woody. All in all, IRRATIONAL MAN isn't a complete misfire, but still contributes next to nothing to Allen's filmography. It is the cinematic equivalent of a shrug.
Woody Allen is a genius, but we can't expect a piece of genius every year. His work speaks for itself (24 personal Oscar nominations) and will continue to. I for one am looking forward to his upcoming Amazon series (his first), as well as his next feature length picture. Let's just hope it's not another #2.

Stockings hung by the chimney with care in the hopes that they will be filled with lots of goodies by anybody! In olden days, stockings were filled with oranges, apples, sweets and maybe a small present or two. Today, technology is small and lends itself to be one of many stocking stuffers. Mini MP3 players, tiny digicams, multicolored iPods and all the things that go with them are just a few of the gifts that will fit inside even the smallest stocking. Some more high tech ideas are boom box speakers for your purse and ear bud clips and if you have purchased gift certificates, phone cards or movie passes the stocking is the perfect place for them.
Electronic items are for older children and young adults of all ages, but for the little ones who can't sleep past 5 am on Christmas morning, a different type of diversion is needed. In the hope of getting one or two more hours of sleep, some parents let the children have the stockings when thy get up if they will wait until the parents get up for the presents under the tree. For this to work, the stocking stuffers need to be good. You can buy them all year and save them for the stocking at Christmas.
Some tips for arranging the gifts in the stocking. Put something special at the end, in the toe of the stocking. This will counter the let down feeling when the stocking is empty. Also, put something special, possibly unwrapped, on top so it is the first thing they see. Make sure you have several different shaped items so they will fit together in the stocking. You can always fill empty spaces with candy, gum and nuts. Wrap all your stocking stuffers. It looks good and takes time to unwrap.
For children inexpensive, useful and fun stocking stuffers are best. Stickers, stamp and pad, novelty candy, glitter pens, coloring books, glow jewelry, match box cars, tiny dolls or stuffed animals, action figures and many more. You can look at the toys in the drug store through out the year to find the perfect items. Older kids need something they can use, such as the electronic devises already mentioned, but also, beauty products, movie or concert tickets, phone card, jewelry they'll actually wear and a gift certificate for clothes from a store they like.
Joke gifts are great fun for children and adults alike. There is ketchup, mustard and toothpaste tops that look like the ketchup etc. are coming out the nose or mouth of a cartoon character. There are LED lighted key chains that are actually useful in the bottom of a dark purse, as well as lighted bottle tops for the refrigerator. Also, Rubik's cube pepper mill, Hello Kitty USB sticks, origami sticky notes and sterling silver jewelry that look like your favorite candy and all kinds of horrible sounding mints like garlic, bacon, curry and cotton candy. Stocking stuffers should be small and fun and one or two can be really useful.

To the Editor:
The front page (Feb. 29) in bold letters read "Case Dismissed," Michael Lee Jones cleared in death of friend. While it is most commendable that the community Vanderbilt rallied in support of this young man both physically and financially, I feel there was over- reaction when the accident first happened. Mr. Hesselink was only doing his job, not organizing a lynching party. Gratefully, it is now over.
Then I read the (column) by Dawn King on low-carb diets and it seemed to annoy her there are special meals offered at many restaurants. It is true some restaurants offer such meals; others let you replace the potatoes with a dinner salad; but some charge full price even when the bread and potato are eliminated. I can only say, "If you don't want a low-carb meal, don't order it."
My two sons are on the Atkins diet; one has lost 45 pounds and the other has lost four pant sizes. They must be doing something right.

Kids bunk beds
Bunk bed furniture indispensable element for the room for the kids. It will save you floor space and helps organize living spaces. The presence of a bunk bed introduces an element of the game in the process of rest and sleep.
We do not recommend buying a cot as a separate piece of furniture. More rational to order a single set of furniture in the nursery, which consists of shelves for books, desk, wardrobe, cupboard or shelves for toys, bed, small chest of drawers. You have one child but you are planning a second child then making an order for a new baby furniture make a list of bed at two levels for children.
For what would then not finish wood complex. Placing bunk beds for children is important. It is not advisable to install a cot beside the fireplace, in a draft near the air conditioner near the window. This way you can make the rest not comfortable.
If the child is more than 6 years it is important to learn from him whether he would sleep on the bed into two tiers, and if yes then what kind of bed he wants. Hearing the child's views, you will have the opportunity to better define his wishes and dreams bed into two tiers for optimum child.

I've been meaning to write this post for awhile, just hadn't quite figured out the best approach. I will fully admit that the events that went down in July made me insecure and not sure of myself. I went through a brief period where I questioned my abilities, achievements and self-worth. My insecurities were created by the inability to achieve perfection (or be a f-f-f-failure), rejection, and a lack of control.
Recently I was told by a good friend… "you don't need validation, you are a great girl blah blah BLAH." Well wouldn't that be nice if that was the case. As much as I am not usually "that" girl, 100% all of us go through tough times where we need reassurance and support. I needed my friends to say "you will get through this"… "you are awesome"… "you will be stronger because of this"… "you are a hot commodity and will let none of this drag you down." ❤ Seriously, I did. I was at a low point and I needed to be brought back into reality.
"Depending on external validation for your happiness is depending on something arbitrary, relative, and random. You're relinquishing control to something that makes no sense. …But I'd still like some."
So what's the harm? Is it that bad for a strong, independent, young woman to ask for validation? Assuming it's not constant, is it bad for anyone to ask for occasional validation?
I absolutely don't think so. Validation doesn't mean you are insecure or needy. Validating someone is about nurturing and understanding. It's not healthy to be dependent on validation. That can lead to frustration and disappointment. What's most important is that [the majority of the time] you are able to give yourself praise, recognize your achievements, LOVE YOURSELF, and learn from your mistakes. With the right people in your life, when you are having one of "those days", the occasional validating comments will come with open arms.
Last week I went down to sit by the Bow River, read, and escape from my mind. I found a secluded spot on the rocks where I could dangle my toes in the water and pretend I lived by the ocean. :) I was reading, tanning, and enjoying the heat, when this dude says to me "get in my boat". I had no idea I would be so close to the people floating down the river AND no idea people would be talking to me, so he caught me off guard. I was like… "uh what?"… he says "well it doesn't look like you are having a good time, so get in my boat." I laughed, said "maybe next time" and off he went. I kept my eyes on the next floaters, offering them a smile and a wave. Apparently my secluded spot was more of an attraction then a peaceful place to read. Another raft came by, I barely look up through my sunglasses to notice a raft of girls and guys. This guy says "I just wanted to say, you just made my day." <<UMM WHAT?>> "Seeing you in a bikini just made my first floating experience so awesome." <<HAHAHA>>
You know what dude… you just MADE MY DAY. No, I didn't need the compliment. I needed a laugh. :)
So let's talk about physical validation. By no means was I relaxing in a public place with minimal clothing for external validation. Seriously, I was there for my mental sanity! I've told this story to a few girlfriends and we all had a good laugh. Made a few jokes that if we're having a bad day, we should head down the river in search of some guys giving out compliments. :P Standards of beauty are imposed on women and as a result body image issues are rampant in today's society. Whether they were created from childhood bullying, significant others/relationships, or the media, we all know someone (or are someone) that has been affected by a negative body image. Validation is no different in this case. If it's constant, we have a problem. It is up to you and only you, to believe that you are beautiful. Every so often, a girl will have a "ugh day", or a "I don't know what to wear day", or a "do you like my new hair day" – give her the validation she needs. Don't lie, but be honest and supportive. Do you lose anything by validating others? No. It shows that you care.
We all have our moments. Don't be scared to ask for validation. Always embrace every ounce of yourself.
Why? Because you are pretty fabulous if I do say so myself.
With love (and positive August energy), Me. XO

Following the success of the 2014 campaign, we knew that we had a big task ahead of us to come up with something with as much impact. Given that last year's shoot and brand launch focussed on the water element of the Rapids name, this year we though we would focus on a more dynamic series of images.
We art directed a photoshoot with a paint powder explosion effect created in post production. The tag line of 'Expect Explosions' was coined and used throughout. A wide variety of cricketing poses were shot, giving huge flexibility for the advertising on match days and the various print and digital promotions required.
We're also immensely proud to have created the first TV advert for a county cricket side with the paint explosions a running theme throughout. Keep your eyes peeled!

Shared Values Are Always Sustainable
Representing a diverse group of local stakeholders, the Coalition for Livable Communities (CLC) supports the development and redevelopment of healthy, vibrant, and economically sustainable communities throughout the greater Memphis region. We do this by educating residents, building a shared vision of livable communities, and promoting public policy to further that vision. The CLC has five core values: Balanced Development, Shared Benefits & Costs, Access & Choice, Community Input & Collaboration, and Environmental Protection. If embraced when making development decisions, these values would go a long way toward creating a livable Memphis. What exactly do we mean by "livable?" A Livable Memphis would be home to great neighborhoods that offer residents efficient, effective, and (hopefully) pleasant ways to accomplish their daily needs—getting to and from work, school, play; access to and options for housing, work, food, education, services, and recreation. A Livable Memphis looks at the entire region as a community. The needs of one neighborhood cannot be sacrificed for another. Livability won't just happen. It needs to be planned. (The alternative is haphazard development that drains resources from existing neighborhoods: e.g. sprawl.) The City of Memphis and Shelby County have the ability to design our region for livability. The Sustainable Shelby initiative, under the leadership of Mayor AC Wharton, does exactly that. Great neighborhoods, environmental protection and localized economic development are on the horizon through this new plan, which is aligned with the values of the CLC. Mayor Wharton convened more than 100 local leaders to catalog issues facing Shelby County. In doing so, he boldly stated that our "present course is unsustainable on the basis of public finances, environment and land use, disposable neighborhoods, deteriorating health, and declining quality of life." Committees of citizens and experts tackled major issues and outlined recommendations for the Sustainable Shelby staff. These recommendations are currently being translated into real implementation strategies for moving toward the vision that this collaborative group created. (Clearly the CLC value of community input and collaboration was embraced.) As the process nears public release, the CLC is excited for another tool for promoting healthy growth in the Memphis region. The theme of Great Neighborhoods is an overriding priority of the agenda. A commitment to reviewing the social impacts of development decisions recognizes the importance of access and choice. Sustainable Shelby promotes smart planning and balanced development. Revitalization of commercial corridors and public realm investments encourages the redevelopment of adjacent existing communities. Sustainable Shelby addresses the need for all County residents to equitably share both economic benefits and costs of development. Sustainability benchmarks will become a measure to assess projects that will receive incentives from public sources. Locally owned businesses may find assistance easier to come by, especially when they can stimulate neighborhood-centric opportunities. From parks to water quality, environmental protection is on the Sustainable Shelby agenda. Highlighting the relationship between reduced resource consumption and economic savings, Portland economist and Sustainable Shelby presenter Joe Cortright calculated that by decreasing their average daily drive by 1.6 miles, Memphians could "generate $260 million in annual savings that could stimulate the local economy." Simple recycling measures and sophisticated energy consumption audits could create a green ethos throughout the community—and save money! The CLC supports Sustainable Shelby's commitment to building public awareness and offering opportunity for continued collaboration. A Green Center and Office of Sustainability would further embed sustainable practices among local governments, private industry, and the community at large. Sustainable Shelby's ability to succeed is strengthened by its promise of balanced development, equitable distribution of costs and benefits, and providing access and choice to community members—all under the umbrella of environmental protection. And, CLC members may have been given a resource to promote with pride and enthusiasm. CLC Values: Balanced Development: Growth should be planned and managed in a way that balances both private and public interests. Future growth must address the entire community's need for economic development and healthy, diverse neighborhoods. Shared Benefits & Costs: All Shelby County residents must share in the economic benefits of growth, as well as its costs. Public expenditures (tax dollars) should be spread equitably among both new and existing neighborhoods. Access & Choice: All residents deserve equal access to jobs, schools, shopping, transportation and neighborhood facilities. Citizens also must have choices in housing type and location, as well as multiple transportation options. Community Input & Collaboration: All residents should have a voice in how the community is developed. Venues for effective citizen input should be well-publicized, timely, and accessible. Environmental Protection: Open space, natural habitats, and landscapes must be protected and preserved for the benefits of citizens and the greater community.

HAROLD LITTLEMusical greats are those who can make their art enter the souls of those who hear it. Even if that artist only gives a LITTLE portion of their music, during a LITTLE time, a LITTLE can go a long way.
Trumpeter, songwriter and producer Harold Little is one of those musical greats who considers his instrument to be a part of who he is, an extension of his personality. A Washington, DC musician who has played with legends like Chuck Brown, Butch Warren, Buck Hill, Eddie Gladden and Calvin Jones, Harold Little has the fingertip feel for embouchure and valves. A graduate of the famed Duke Ellington School of the Arts and the Jazz Studies program at the University of District of Columbia, Harold Little grew up around music where many members of his family were in and around the music industry. Harold has been cultivating and performing for nearly 4 decades, in tune with the wisdom of music built on the standards of R&B, Jazz, Funk with a hint of Go-Go Swing.
From his 2009 debut EP titled Daddy's Groove to his current effort, AKOBEN, all one needs to do is hear just a LITTLE of these unique artistic masterpieces to know Harold Little has the skills of a trumpeter whose grooves will make you bob your head and pat your feet. The Vinyl Anachronism says Akoben is a funky blast of 80s fun that rises above the genre through his superb horn work. Contemporary Fusion editor says Akoben is the all the way from git-down funk to the hippest of the hip and even a brief foray into churchlike gospel, he reaches out to your ears and energizes them with his totally unique trumpet and flugelhorn. A 5 star review from Amazon, Harold Little's latest Akoben is jam packed with continuity and strong song ideas, and each tune connects well to the next, making the album experience a gratifying listen.
If Harold has proven anything over his 30 plus year career is, when people hear his music they will remember when, where, and what they were doing, when they heard it. A LITTLE does truly go a long way.

Just tell me to do P90X X-Stretch, okay?
Just do it.
My legs have been killing me, I haven't had a good run in 10 days (between the weather and my legs) and I've been getting down/frustrated and not thinking straight about it.
I'm waiting for my new shoes to arrive (tomorrow) so I can hopefully run again. Yes, I am still blaming the bad parts of Sunday's run on my shoes. Running is out of the question until I get decent shoes – I don't want another frustrating, annoying, painful, blistery, run.
P90X X-Stretch it was. I LOVE that DVD. My legs feel brand new again. Lesson learned. Please, just hold me to it next time I bitch about my legs.
On a cool note – I figured out the macro settings on my camera.
If I Ever Complain My Legs Hurt Again (Day 10)26 May
Just tell me to do P90X X-Stretch, okay?
And just because I was having fun (I should really eat these bananas):
That weird pasta looking stuff? Pumpkin cheese sauce…sounds weird right? It was delicious. I'm a pumpkin lover so I'll try anything with pumpkin in it…It's a Hungry Girl recipe – I did modify it, so if anyone is actually interested let me know and I'll post it.
That's it for today – nothing exciting. Goodnight all.

Surprisingly, for a guy whose CW series "Arrow" has been a hit for years, Stephen Amell is only now making his feature film debut with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" (opening Friday).
"My schedule for 'Arrow' and the hiatus I have is so brief," said Amell, 35. "The biggest miracle is this film fit into my schedule. Three days after I finished 'Arrow,' I was in New York for the movie, and we wrapped four days before the next season."
The Turtles have long been fan favorites: The comics popped in 1984. A 1990 film version spawned two sequels, a live-action TV series and three animated series. The 2014 reboot prompted this sequel.
As Casey Jones, a corrections officer turned hockey-masked vigilante, Amell becomes an ally and love interest of reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox).

"We don't get the five-alarm Casey Jones the Turtle fans are used to," Amell acknowledged. "We get glimpses of that. But I (understand Casey) wanting to be a police detective, which hasn't worked out – and that allowed me to make Casey my own."
Going from television, where "Arrow" recently aired its fourth season finale, to feature films, Amell "worried it would be rigid. I had no idea if all we wanted to do was what was on the page. But it was, 'Let's do the best scene possible.' We'd put a scene on its feet, and if it didn't work, the director and writers were there to say, 'Let's try this.' And we did and you'd be amazed, a ton of that stuff ended up in the movie."
As for stunts, "I ended up doing every one except when I get ratcheted into a car, which I didn't want to do and they wouldn't let me do.
"They let me develop a fighting style for Casey Jones. At the end" – when Casey is up against goons Rocksteady and Bebop, who have been transformed into a rhino and a warthog – "the producers said, 'The last fight needs to be bigger,' and we were out at Pier 92 for five days just going wall to wall.
"That week of filming is probably what I'm most proud of in my entire career. It was very cool for Casey Jones."

Art on OPB
Posted by Megan Driscoll

Artists have been coming to Portland to do their own thing for a very long time... the map to success isnt laid out and that appeals to a certain type.
Lucinda Parker was the first art person to welcome me here... she noticed that I had a pretty rare art book (circa 1946) that I was reading in the Torrefazione on NW 23rd.
The difference now is that are now moving to Portland to engage the world and certain progressive ideas. Portland is no longer an out of the way place, instead it's becoming a test kitchen for a different way to live and make art. It's a rebel base for artists now, as opposed to an enclave or outpost. These are slightly different expectations but very much of the same cloth and when Ive observed the younger generation and their predecessors speaking they seem more similar than not.
There is a lot of common ground.
Posted by: Double J at May 21, 2008 10:32 AM
Thanks for posting this Megan - I got a sneak peak last week and it looks like everyone who still thinks our arts scene started in 2000 will have lots of food for thought. And I think you're correct when you say that we have more in common with the older generation of artist that populated Portland in the early part of the last century. Though I think it has to do less with Portland being a rebel base and more with Portland's ablitity to provide a haven from the distraction of bigger cities.
Posted by: vmaldonado at May 22, 2008 01:16 PM
I think we are just describing the same thing two different ways. Rebel Base simply means that many of the typical rules in most cities don't apply, it's still defining itself... the size doesnt matter as much as the sense of change (there are smaller and larger cities that are way more predictable than Portland). For example artist are rarely defined by the MFA program they graduated from... sure there is an awareness but it isnt treadted like a brand or a passport.
Part of the reason I moved here in 1999 was an ongoing groundwork had already been laid but needed new blood, a real scene always needs new blood. I felt this civic need for a sense of constant change when I scouted the city in 1998 and it's definitey increased exponentially since then.
From Anna B. Crocker to Sally Lewis, William Jamison and Mel Katz (PCVA) things have happened here that many seem to want to forget... but it's historically false. Im a historian and the idea that nothing of consequence has ever happened here needs to face the truth.
Now that Portland is in a more ambitious mode again it needs to be more honest with itself. For example, the fact that Armory show made its only west coast stop at PAM says a lot about the kind of ambition founded this city. This isn't some sudden flash in the pan, it's a tradition.... If I had wanted to s start from scratch I could have lived in the desert or dealt with a less amibtious place and stayed in Milwaukee, Wi.
True, history isn't something that Americans do well, but I think Portlanders should aspire to a different standard.
Posted by: Double J at May 22, 2008 02:16 PM
I'm encouraged by your response and also by the historical peices that Port is publishing. I think you're right and hope that we continue to integrate the new with the old. Please keep the historical peices coming. I would really like to learn more about the folks that made PAM happen and how we can use their model to establish a contemporary art venue...511 Building?
Posted by: vmaldonado at May 23, 2008 04:16 PM
Big difference - the art of the NOW versus the art which SURROUNDS us. I couldn't care less about ambition or fame or who knows who knows who. It's boring. Swimming it trivia belittles the cosmic experience of mixing sense and memory.
I took the pic above while stuck going from here to there and spent a while trying to engage passersby to talk about the painting. No one knew what it was, most thought it might be part of the signage from the coffee stall below. Employees in nearby shops were unaware. Travelers simply didn't care. It is slightly invisible - because it is not NOW.
I didn't see the OPB thing. I assume it was of municipal collections.

There is an increasing trend towards N+1 UPS architectures – rather than 2N – as IT fault tolerance through software continues to improve. There are two common ways N+1 can be achieved: paralleling multiple unitary UPSs together or deploying a single UPS frame with multiple internal modules configured for N+1 redundancy. In this paper, we quantify key tradeoffs between an internal "modular" redundant UPS and parallel redundant UPSs,and show a 27% capital cost savings and a 1-2 week decrease in deployment time when internal redundancy is deployed. We also discuss the importance of fault tolerance within the UPS to ensure availability, reliability, and maintainability needs are met.
Complete the form to download the White Paper and learn more about the cost, speed and reliability tradeoffs between N+1 UPS configurations.

e-meeting : SELLDOWN
Question : How do we protect ourselves from the selldown?
It is a very valid and good question ... where I asked myself many of times.
Because lack of FA knowledge, I would not be able to dissect the biz in so-called 'right' analysis ... and over the years, I started to learn that markets DO NOT work on FUNDAMENTAL analysis , which many promoting ... or being brain-washed. Well ... if you are newbie, you might be still believing in those FA ratios : PER, NTA, PB, ROE, DY etc etc.
Those ratios are good to know ... to tell us what TO AVOID.
Example : We do not buy in losing money companies.
Even if we know the companies are LOSING MONEY ... many STILL believing that it will turn around. Let me share with all what I learnt from many 'experienced' investors ... most companies could NOT recover. Don't hope ... they might change their names, but the core is still the same : bad management and bad biz.
Sumatec : popular enough? It shot up recently and someone wants to buy at 11cents. You may want to tell them about Sumatec a trap ... but , they are newbies or gamblers ... you cant talk to them about logic. They will show you the MEDIA , the good news written about Sumatec ...found some oil at "Kyrgyzstan" ... so, I will keep my breathe to myself. I argued with someone when he was promoting Sumatec back at 40cents plus level.
The more I know about operators, market movements ... media and such, the more reasons for me to keep my silence. The newbies will never able to grasp ... they don't know what they are playing with.
So ... make it a simple discipline : NO BUYING INTO SPECULATIVE COUNTERS.
HWGB : Reminded me of my argue with a person (SP : cohort-1) some 6yrs plus ago ... it was at 40cents level and I asked him to CHANGE HIS MINDSET and do not use charts to buy HWGB. He got upset that I tried to 'help' him ... I was sincere and seeing that uncle came to me to learn trading, I thought I could 'save' him.
Nope!! Today ... I do not even conduct trading workshop (only 1-2 times per year, under request from members) as I have 'given up' that you cant teach majority retailers. They will get caught UP THERE and stuck.
Market works on cycle ... up-down ... some being pumped to be dumped. Some very violent in short term ... some drifting lower ... and create pain in many holding to those stocks.
Take a look at new low Sapnrg or Karex.
Sapnrg : Well ... broken support and going to NEW low. This was index-linked ... when SapuraCrest and Kenchana merged into SKPetrol. But ... Kenchana left, TDM's son ... and now Sapura Energy (re-named) have to struggle ... without investors interested with her.
Karex : hit new low at 87 today ... no one using condom anymore due to Gov requesting us all to have more babies? haha ... nope, Gov needs more supporters ... to support them. Not you or me who got brain la.
It is endless list of many STUCK UP THERE. Are you one of them?
So ... how do we avoid the SELLDOWN?
Will like to discuss about that tonight.
SELLDOWN : Are you stuck?

Iceland, Greenland, and North America
|L'Anse Aux Meadows today
By the 980s, most of the good land in Iceland already had been claimed and the really violent bits of the Viking Age were winding down. Enter Eirik the Red, son of a Norwegian chieftain, who moved to Iceland with his family. The grown-up Eirik got into some trouble in Iceland and was exiled for murder. Rather than go elsewhere in the Norse world, he outfitted an expedition and sailed west, looking for new lands. Eirik landed in Greenland, explored the coasts, then returned to Iceland to recruit settlers. As a result, two small colonies were established in the south-western fjords of Greenland where the terrain wasn't that different than Iceland.
From the Greenland colonies, Eirik's family made a few more trips exploring. His son, Leif, supposedly was the first to find the coast of North America. Members of the family established a kind of base camp, from which they explored "Vinland" (probably named after wild grapes or berries.) The Norse soon encountered the inhabitants. The sagas call the inhabitants of the region "Skraelings," a word which probably means something like "barbarian" or "ruffian" or even "skin-wearer." After some conflicts with the "Skraelings," the Norse left and there's no record of them ever returning.
The Greenland colony lasted a bit longer, until around the 1400s. The climate worsened during the little Ice Age, farming became more difficult, and eventually the population left, died, or was absorbed into the local Inuit (Eskimo) population.
Two Icelandic sagas, the Saga of Eirik the Red and the Saga of the Greenlanders, recount the Norse voyages to North America. Like all the Norse sagas, they were written long after the events had taken place and contained elements of pure storytelling. For a long time, scholars were unsure whether "Vinland" was North America, whether the Norse had really gone there, and, if so, where they had landed. Then, in 1960, a Norwegian enthusiast and explorer couple, the Ingstads, identified a Norse find at L'Anse Aux Meadows in Newfoundland. You can go there today, and the site has been reconstructed.
So why isn't North America today the United States of Vinland? Why did the Norse go to North America, and then (basically) have no effect whatsoever on the historical development of the Americas?
Centuries of European colonization have accustomed us to see the domination and advance of Europeans as inevitable. But there are any number of reasons why the Norse failed to roll over the Vinland with their advanced technology and blinding lack of melanin. First, there were a lot of Native Americans, they lived there, and they were not especially mismatched technologically against the Norse. Second, the Greenland colony was marginal venture, at best, and just getting started. The Norse were hardly a conquering army -- they were farmers exploring. Lastly, it's danged hard to make a colony in a new land, with new plants, animals, weather, and climate. I live near Jamestown, the first really successful English colony in North America, and it almost failed a half-dozen times with much greater resources and better technology. So it's not really surprising (except in the mind of rabid Scandinavians nationalists) that the Norse didn't get very far in Vinland.
Skraelings 1. Vikings 0.
Who were the "Skraelings"?
"Skraeling" wasn't a name which the Native Americans called themselves or would have even recognized.
So, who exactly were they? Can we look at a map, see where the Norse went, see who lived there, and identify the Skraelings as a particular Native American tribe? Not with any great certainty, but we can make some guesses.
|I do not exist.
The solid-seeming records in the sagas aren't terribly helpful either. The medieval Norse did not hesitate to populate the far-reaches of their world with all kinds of beings -- trolls, giants, monstrosities, and exotic invented foreign peoples. The saga authors may have drawn on these fantasies when describing the Skraelings -- indeed, in Eirik the Red's Saga the characters leave the Skraelings behind and encounter a monopod! Yes, like in Narnia.
|Demasaduit, one of the last Beothuck (1819)
South of the Dorset and Thule, along the coast of modern-day Labrador, Newfoundland, and along the St. Lawrence, there are two major ethno-linguistic groupings of woodland peoples. The Algonquian tribes are distributed from the mid-Atlantic all the way up to Labrador. Around the Hudson and upper St. Lawrence rivers, there is a territorial bubble of Iroquoian speakers. (The Iroquoian League dates to sometime after the Viking Period but before European contact.) Historically, the Algonquian peoples and the Iroquoian ones were often at bloody odds -- a situation exacerbated by European rivalries -- but who knows how true that was earlier. In historical times, several Algonquian peoples inhabited our target area: the Beothuck peoples of Newfoundland, the Innu (Montagnais and Naskapi ) peoples of Labrador, and maybe the Mic'mac peoples from Nova Scotia. It all depends on how far south the Norse went and who they happened to bump into.
So How do I Paint my Little Metal Men?
So, the question any wargamer will ask: what did the "Skraelings" look like and how should I paint them? The answer: any way you damn well feel like. The Skraelings probably wore animal-skin garments and had stone or wooden weapons -- but as to what color they made things, what designs they used, or anything else -- who knows? Most soft stuff like leather or wood rots away and isn't preserved. Perhaps they painted their skin and belongings red, like the later Beothuck. You could base designs on historical tribes, of course, but the distance between contact and the Skraeling Age is 500 years -- roughly the same as that between Martin Luther and George W. Bush. So for good or ill, your Skraelings will be mostly a product of your imagination, not history.

Tattooing is a reflection of the basic human desire to decorate the body, and tattoos have held many different meanings by different societies and cultures throughout history.Many attribute the ancient Egyptians to be the first practicing tattooists, and tattoos continue to be a popular way for people of all ages to express themselves in our contemporary society (Rio 20). In years gone by, tattoos were strictly for the specific sections of the socio-economic working class demographic, the domain of sailor and criminal subcultures.
Many people try to make the case that tattoos have been accepted by mainstream culture and are seeping into the wider community. I've seen figures that estimate anywhere between 1 in 4 young Americans 18-25 years of age have a tattoo, although personal experience leads me to believe this might be a conservative estimate (did the study count "secret" tattoos?) Shows like "LA Ink," "Tattoo Highway," and whatever other "true-life" tattoo docu-drama cable television is airing this season would have us believe that tattooing is a normal, everyday occurrence that is part of most Americans lives.
However, I would argue that this is not so, and if tattooing has indeed become "acceptable" in mainstream society, it is only in America and certainly not in Chinese culture. An article in "China Daily" estimated that, as of 2009, approximately thirty-five percent of NBA stars have some kind of Chinese-themed tattoo. The figures for the number of Chinese sports stars or entertainers with tattoos, however, continue to remain much more conservative.
Nick Carter, of 1990's boy-band fame, has an eclectic mix of body art, including a shark on his left bicep, accompanied by the characters "hai shen" for Poseidon. Carter is hardy the forerunner of this trend, and many celebrities (as well as ordinary body modification enthusiasts) choose to mix languages, cultural symbols and traditional artwork in their tattoos, even if it doesn't really signify anything. Nevertheless, I find Carter's bastardized take on Greek mythology both grotesquely slanderous and exhilarating at the same time, which would be considered by some in the tattooing circuit to be the mark of a great tattoo, but I digress.
Many people who I personally know who have Chinese characters tattooed on them cite the "mystery" of the symbol as one of their main reasons for getting it inked. The logic goes that you can be "(insert generic personality trait here)"and that in Chinese it would be even more enigmatic. Empirical evidence confirms this to be true, as the majority of these individuals have never spoken a word of Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) in their life beyond ordering the Moo Goo Gai Pan at General Zhou's Buffet. To such individuals these characters are, indeed, a mystery. I find Western fascination with Chinese motifs all the more amusing due to the connotations that tattoos carry in Chinese culture. Tattooing has existed in China for centuries but is traditionally been associated with criminals. According the "Global Times," tattooing in China has largely been taboo since 1949, however in the past five years, more and more shops have sprung up. In China, there is a reversal of the trend seen in the West, with students and professionals alike increasingly choosing to be adorned with English phrases.
I like to believe that, unlike their Western counterparts, most Chinese have a better sense of what their English tattoo means, although things are bound to get lost in translation both ways, as is the risk one takes with any tattooing transaction. However, after reviewing the portfolio of an artist based in Hong Kong at the Detroit Motor City Tattoo Convention this year, I was dismayed (albeit not surprised) to see the same type of errors can occur in English to Mandarin as I flipped through photos that included proud declarations of "Loves Brotherhood For Lives," and "Mis Behaven" (although the last one may have been intentional; I was unclear on that but didn't want the artist to lose face by asking, as it would have drawn attention to other errors in his portfolio-a tattoo industry no-no.)
As would behoove an art form traditionally dominated by sailors and criminals, tattoo parlors in China operate in a gray zone of legality, and I find it doubtful that autoclave sterilization (key to the prevention of blood borne pathogen related diseases such as hepatitis and HIV) is taking place in Chinese tattoo parlors, an issue which I would be interested in further exploring upon my own impending visit to China this summer.
While I was volunteering at the China Quiz Bowl, one of the judges and I were having a conversation about tattooing, so I took the opportunity to ask what the general consensus on tattoos was in present-day Chinese society. He told me that most Chinese do not have tattoos, as they are traditionally the mark of criminals, and that tattooing is viewed as a "desecration" of the body. This supported prior research I had done on the subject, and seemed to be keeping with Confucius thought, in which one's body is viewed as a gift from the parents, so it made total sense to me why even in an increasingly "modernized/westernized" China, tattoos are still not commonplace. As a person with tattoos, and who grew up around the art form (my first "job" was as the floor-girl at the neighborhood shop) I am well aware of the stigma that tattoos carry in American, mid-west society, therefore I tend to err on the side of caution when dealing with other cultures, particularly the Near, Middle or Far East.
As I became more involved with the Chinese Learning Community this semester I was interested to see the reaction of native Chinese to American tattooing, which I found to not only be quaint, but more importantly, universal. My Chinese peers react to my tattoos the same way that my friends back in Alpena do: with a mix of awe and admiration, quickly followed by the statement "I could never get something like that because my parents would kill me" (or the appropriate Mandarin sentiment.) It just goes to show that people are people, and children in every culture fear the wrath and disapproval of their parents.

Regardless of your budget or the type of gun you are looking for, you can find it at a professional pawn shop. Moreover, although pawn shops specialize in used items, they often sell brand-new products as well. You are going to receive a new firearm at the same price as a used one, which is always a good thing.
