2012 has been a rough year for me.
While I will not deny there has been some amazing moments in the past year ( especially when it comes to my blog. I have seen some amazing growth in the past year and for that I am eternally grateful!), and I am more than grateful for the life that I do lead, 2012 has had some hardships that have been tough to overcome. The year started with the loss of a job I loved and facing the difficulties of unemployment for the first time, the loss of my grandmother and the utter devastation it caused my dad, the frustration of not being able to find a job, the bittersweet loss of a good friend who moved out of province, struggled with certain aspects of my health, and dealt with what seems like an ongoing war with some people in my life.
I've never been an overly open person, and this little corner of the web has always been my happy place, however there have been points throughout the year where I have struggled to maintain an interest or a happy demeanour, and have even gone months without baking, something that has always helped me relax and unwind. Fortunately, I am surrounded by amazing people who love and support me, and give me ambition and inspiration when I have none.
These are my last parting words to 2012: I am glad we are through.
So, here's to the new year, and an end to the depressing stuff. To new beginnings and a year focused on making it the most I can. A year I can enjoy the company of those who mean the most to me and who have always supported me ( and my blog 🙂 ) through thick and thin. A year where I can focus on my health and happiness. A year of continued growth and learning and of moving forward. And, most importantly, a year full of cookies and cupcakes (my favourites!).
And to bring in the new year, I give you pancakes!
Well, Mr Ginge brings you pancakes, since this was the result of a craving for pancakes and him searching through the odds and ends in the refrigerator. Pair them up with some bacon and a tall lass of OJ and you are good to go.
Caramel Apple Pancakes
serves 4, adapted from allrecipes.com
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce ( we used what we had in the fridge, but you could always use homemade)
- 3 tsbp melted butter
- 1 apple, cored and thinly sliced
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make a large well in the centre and set aside.
- In a measuring cup or bowl, combine together the milk, egg, caramel sauce, and butter. Pour into the well and mix until smooth. Let the batter stand about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat up your pan with a bit of butter over medium-high heat. Pour about a 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake. Top the pancake with a few slices of apple. Revel in the heavenly smell that is wafting from your kitchen.
- When the edges have bubble and are lightly brown around the edges give them a flip and then continue to cook on the other side.
- Flip them onto a plate and serve with maple syrup, additional caramel sauce, or a bit of icing sugar.
If you ask me, this is an excellent way to ring in the new year!
– Happy New Year-
Mel, Mr.Ginge and the kitties.
I linked this recipe up to The Weekend Potluck and Strut Your Stuff Saturday.

The MA in global political economy and finance provides students with a sophisticated understanding of the world economy in historical context, the political economic analysis of the dynamics of contemporary world capitalist society, and state-of-the-art tools of political economic and financial analysis.
The program offers the training required to pursue advanced degrees in economics, finance, business, law, international relations, public policy, and related fields, and provides students with the analytical and policy skills required for careers in the fields of finance, government, business, labor organization, and international development. In addition to offering a rigorous course of study in economic and statistical analysis, this program provides a thorough grounding in historical and contemporary political economy and finance, culminating in an internship or mentored research project. A flexible elective option allows for concentrations in classical political economy, international and development economics, financial economics, environmental economics, or the economics of labor markets and race, class, and gender.
The master of arts program in global political economy and finance consists of seven required courses and three electives as described below. There is no written comprehensive examination; the MA degree is awarded for successful completion of the required 30 credits.
The master of arts program provides depth of knowledge and analytical skills in the field of economics with the flexibility of a wide range of elective choices, allowing each candidate to shape an individual concentration, such as economics and finance, classical political economy, interdisciplinary political economy, urban economics, or development economics.
A total of 30 credits is required for the MA in economics. A maximum of three credits may be transferred from other institutions. Students may apply for transfer credits after completing six credits at The New School for Social Research. All courses are for three credits.
Course Requirements
The master of arts program consist of four core courses; five elective courses, up to three of which could be taken in other departments of The New School for Social Research or at the Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy; and an internship or mentored research. There is no written examination for the MA in economics, which is awarded for successful completion of the required credits.
Students who entered to the MA program before fall 2000 semester may have received the MA in economics under the old requirements, which included the "en passant" method. Consult the Department of Economics Procedures Guide for the old requirements.
The MS in economics is a terminal degree designed for students who wish to study economics in more depth than the MA allows, particularly to develop their research skills in economic modeling and econometrics, without being committed to completing a PhD degree. The 45-credit program provides a solid grounding in the history and contemporary development of political economic tools and, through education in the contemporary quantitative tools of analysis, extends this training to include a significant part of the PhD analytical core curriculum. The master of science degree is awarded for successful completion of 45 credits and passing of the MS examination.
Course Requirements
The master of science program consist of six core courses and eight elective courses.
The Master of Science Examination
The MS in economics requires that a student pass the MS examination offered twice a year. (With approval of the Department of Economics, a qualifying paper may be accepted in place of the MS examination.)
The New School for Social Research offers a distinctive doctoral program in economics. Core courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics are supplemented by courses in Marxian, post-Keynesian, and neo-Ricardian theory. Students develop two areas of concentration prior to beginning work on a dissertation.
Admission to the PhD Program
Students who complete a master's degree in economics at The New School are not automatically advanced into the PhD program. Acceptance to doctoral study requires separate application.
Students matriculated in a master of art program in the Department of Economics can may petition to continue study toward the PhD degree as soon as they have registered for 30 credits. A department subcommittee review each petitioner's academic record and makes a decisions based on the qualifications of the student and the needs of the department. Three minimum conditions must be fulfilled for the subcommittee to consider a petition to continued study toward the PhD:
Transfer Credits: Students with prior graduate work or with an MA from another university
Students who wish to transfer to The New School for Social Research from other institutions must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better in their prior graduate work to be considered for admission.
If admitted, transfer students must complete a minimum of 12 credits at The New School for Social Research with a grade point average of 3.5 or better, including at least one PhD core course (see below) with a grade of 3.5 or better. The student must apply to transfer credits from prior institutions as soon as possible after completing the 12 credits.
Up to 30 credits may be transferred to The New School for both regular and seminar courses taken at other institutions. No transfer credit will be granted for courses deemed by the department not relevant to the PhD in economics or for any course for which a grade of less than 3.0 was assigned.
Once the application for transfer credits is reviewed and a decision made, if the sum of transfer credits and credits earned at The New School for Social Research totals at least 30 credits, the department will review the student's qualifications for continuation in PhD program.
PhD Course Requirements
A total of 60 credits is required for the PhD degree, including the 30 required for the MA degree. Up to nine credits may be taken as Directed Dissertation Study (GECO 7991). The following courses must be included within the 60 credits.
Students must receive grades of 3.0 or better in all four core courses to continue. (A student who receives a grade of less than 3.0 in a core course is permitted to retake the examination in that course within one year of the end of the semester in which the course was taken. No core course examination can be taken more than twice.) Students are not required to take a PhD qualifying examination in the core course material, although they are free to select advanced macroeconomics, advanced microeconomics, advanced political economy, or advanced econometrics as elective fields from the areas of concentration.
Areas of Concentration
In addition to the core theory curriculum, each student chooses two areas of concentration, which will be the subjects of the student's comprehensive examinations.
The Department of Economics regularly offers the following areas of concentration:
Other areas of concentration may be available subject to faculty availability:
All students must select one concentration from the list above. The second concentration can also be selected from the list or students may, if they wish, define their own second concentration or define an interdisciplinary concentration by combining concentrations from the list above. Individually defined concentrations are subject to approval of the department, which may depend on faculty availability.
Seminar Requirement
Three credits must be fulfilled in the form of seminar requirements. Seminar credits can be earned only after a student has completed Advanced Microeconomics I, Advanced Macroeconomics I, and Advanced Econometrics I. Seminar credits can be earned only from work associated with an upper-level course. Seminar credits cannot be earned through directed dissertation study. All seminar credits require faculty approval. Transfer credit cannot be used to fulfill the seminar requirement.
Grade Point Average
The award of the PhD degree requires a final cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better.
PhD Qualifying Examination
See the academic calendar for examination dates. Student can request permission from the department to take the PhD qualifying examinations after they have
The PhD qualifying examination will consist of either:
Mathematics Requirement
Although there are no formal requirements in mathematics, students must have sufficient competence to pass all courses that use mathematical techniques, such as the PhD theory core courses.
Language Requirement
The Department of Economics requires literacy in one foreign language relevant to the student's intended program of study. Literacy must be shown by translating from the chosen language a substantial section of a reading on economics designated by the department. Requests to take the exam may be submitted to the department secretary. Alternatively, a student may satisfy the language requirement by showing competence in mathematics, as demonstrated by a grade of 3.5 or higher in GECO 6189 or the equivalent.
Dissertation Proposal, Oral Examination, and Dissertation
A student is considered a doctoral candidate only after passing a dissertation proposal defense, which also serves as an oral examination. Students must first submit a dissertation proposal to the supervisor of their dissertation committee. This proposal must be approved by the three members of the dissertation committee prior to the oral examination. Students are also responsible for scheduling a date for their oral exam through the University Records Office. This scheduling must be done six weeks prior to the date of the oral defense. The student must pass this examination in the area of the proposed dissertation research. The language requirement must be met, and no more than six credits may be outstanding before the oral examination can be scheduled.
The student must complete and defend the dissertation in a manner acceptable to The New School for Social Research (see Dissertation Requirements in the Admission section of this website).
The degree of master of philosophy in economics is conferred upon a registered student who has fulfilled all the requirements for the PhD in economics except the dissertation proposal defense and the written dissertation.
Satisfaction of the PhD Dissertation Requirement in Economics Extra Muros
At any time within ten years from the date the MPhil degree was awarded and subject to approval by the department chair, a recipient of the MPhil in economics who has not continued studies in residence at the university may present to the university a substantial body of independent and original published scholarly work in lieu of a sponsored dissertation toward completion of the requirements for the PhD degree.
An applicant who wishes to submit material prepared extra muros should ascertain through the chair of the Department of Economics the specific requirements of the department. Recipients of the MPhil degree not in residence at the university are not entitled to guidance or supervision by the faculty. The submitted material will be reviewed by the chair in consultation with other members of the faculty to determine whether or not the candidate is eligible to sit for a final examination.
If the decision to examine the candidate is favorable, the chair will name a committee of at least five members for that purpose, including four from the Department of Economics, one of whom will chair. The examination must satisfy the committee that the quality of the candidate's work meets the standards of the university for a doctor of philosophy in economics. This examination may be taken only once. It is either passed or failed. The decision of the committee is final.
The applicant must register for maintenance of status for the term in which he or she sits for the final examination.
Department of Economics Procedures GuideMore details about MA and PhD degree requirements can be found in the Department of Economics Procedures Guide, available from the department student advisors or downloadable as a PDF from the website.
The Department of Economics participates in the university's Democracy and Diversity program in South Africa and maintains student and faculty exchange programs with the University of Bremen (Germany), the University of Frankfurt (Germany), and the University of Siena (Italy).
Students in the Department of Economics can take as electives a wide range of courses in economic policy, public finance, urban economics, and health economics offered by the Milano School, one of the schools that constitute The New School for Public Engagement. A short list of Milano School courses recommended for graduate economics students would include MHTC5020 Political Economy of the City; MIOR5074 Race, Gender, and Public Policy; MPLC6516 Public Finance and Fiscal Policy; and MPLC7010 Advanced Policy Analysis.

For six years, the world has witnessed an intriguing phenomenon: Oil prices have soared as the US dollar has declined in value.
Now some economists say the simplest way to ease oil prices in the short term is to boost the value of the greenback.
It's a controversial idea. Clearly, oil prices are driven mainly by the fundamental trends of oil supply and demand. And even if an oil-dollar link does exist, economists say it's not clear that the dollar's downward trend can – or should – be reversed. Some say a weaker dollar is needed to help reverse America's large trade imbalance over time.
Still, with oil prices near record levels, concern about the dollar's dive is getting more attention.
"Increase the value of the dollar and lower the value of the euro. That by itself will lower [oil] prices, assuming all other things being equal," says A.F. Alhajji, an energy economist at Ohio Northern University in Ada. Beyond that, he says, the world will basically need to wait for market forces to adjust supply and demand.
If a steadier dollar would help, one positive sign is that the greenback has firmed up a bit in the past three months. But it's not clear how much it would need to rise – or how long it would take after that – to influence oil prices.
Algerian Energy Minister Chakib Khelil, the current president of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, said Thursday that the dollar is playing a major role in oil prices, and offered a hard estimate, according to a report by Marketwatch. At a meeting in Paris, he said a drop of 1 to 2 percent in the dollar versus the euro could add another $8 a barrel to oil prices.
The dollar-oil issue also came up Wednesday in a congressional hearing on whether high fuel prices are a bubble or a "new reality."
"While the correlation does not hold week in and week out, we believe that this trend – a falling dollar contributing to higher oil prices – is very strong," Daniel Yergin of Cambridge Energy Research Associates told senators.
Economists who see a dollar-to-oil link say it's operating through several channels, some long term and some short term:
A supply effect: The fact that oil is priced in a single currency worldwide – the US dollar – has significant effects on companies and nations that produce oil, Professor Alhajji says.
A rising price of oil has clearly brought billions in extra profits. But since the dollars that producers receive have gone down in value, that windfall has been partially offset.
As a result, he says, the oil-rich nations have probably been investing less in new oil production than they would have under a stable dollar.
Some analysts cast the impact on oil production in investment terms: If a nation's immediate economic needs are being met, why swap an asset that's rising in value (oil reserves) for one that's falling (dollars)?
A demand effect: Oil prices have been rising for consumers around the world. But this, too, has been partially offset in many nations by changes in currency rates. Europeans are buying more oil than they would if the US dollar were their currency.
"Because the dollar can't fall against the [government-managed] Asian currencies, it falls too much against the euro," says Peter Morici, an economist at the University of Maryland in College Park. "That gives Europeans more" to spend on oil.
A different effect is at work in China, which he says has been holding its currency artificially low as a way to boost exports. The result, Professor Morici argues, is a greater shift of manufacturing jobs out of the United States and into China. And because US factories use much less energy than those in China, this affects demand for oil.
"Every time a job leaves Indiana for Shanghai, oil consumption goes up," Morici says.
Moreover, in his view, China's resulting trade surplus has enabled the country to afford the artificially low fuel prices it sets for consumers – prices that China adjusted upward last week.
Still, it's hard to gauge how much oil demand has been affected by China's currency-managing methods. "Given the rapid economic growth rate, ... I would argue that demand from China would still be relatively robust" regardless of the exchange-rate policies, says Paul Ting, who runs an energy consultancy in Short Hills, N.J.
A financial effect: Low interest rates or rising inflation can cause investors to flee a currency. Those same rates can help drive up commodity prices and cause investors to buy oil contracts as a "hedge" against feared inflation.
One symbol of the problem: Investors holding US dollars now face negative real returns – interest rates below inflation.
The Federal Reserve has reduced short-term US interest rates to counter the threat of recession, but now is walking a fine line as markets increasingly are also worried about inflation.
"The more that people doubt the Federal Reserve's willingness to reverse this policy course they've chosen, the higher oil prices rise," says Tim Duy, an economist at the University of Oregon in Eugene.
In ordinary times, the Fed would focus on helping the economy out of its slump. This month, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed is now also "attentive" to downward pressure on the dollar.
Economists say that much of the global inflation pressure comes from emerging nations. They have kept money supply relatively loose, partly because their dollar-pegged exchange rates effectively link their monetary policy to that of the Fed.
Managed currency rates and fuel-price controls have put particular pressure on oil prices, Merrill Lynch analysts argue in a recent report. "As neither [emerging market] exchange rates nor domestic commodity prices could adjust through market mechanisms, world commodity price ... had to trend sharply higher in an effort to slow down demand," they write.
So it may be a range of exchange rates, not just the dollar, that's affecting oil prices.
How could the dollar be strengthened?
It might happen naturally, if markets decide that the greenback has dropped below its fair value.
Or sometimes, the world's big governments can use words and currency trades in a concerted way to to affect the dollar.
Another way – controversial given the weakness of the US economy – might be for the Fed to raise short-term interest rates, which would give investors a better return on dollars.

Georgia is playing two five-loss teams (one of which graduated the #2 pick in the NFL draft), a six-loss team, and a I-AA team that went 2-9...and that's the toughest non-con schedule in the SEC? Yikes!
- Coach Fred said...
The Alabama Crimson Tide are showing lots of pride in their team right now. They are paying their new coach Nick Saban more than any other coach in the nation. And they had over 92,000 fans show up for their spring game this year. Expectations are high in Tuscaloosa, Al right now.

Martinez's HR, Lyles' arm help Astros secure series
Houston, TX – J.D. Martinez hit a two-run homer and Jordan Lyles pitched six frames of one-run ball, as the Houston Astros defeated the Kansas City Royals, 3-1, to take the rubber match of a three-game series at Minute Maid Park.
Lyles (2-1) gave up six hits and a walk in his outing, while Jose Veras pitched a flawless ninth to notch his eighth save.
Jason Castro was 3-for-4 with an RBI for Houston, which has won its first series against Kansas City since taking two of three June 17-19, 2005.
"Pitching staff made it easy. They came out and did a tremendous job," Castro said.
George Kottaras drove in the lone run for the Royals, who had lost four straight one-run games before defeating Houston on Tuesday.
Kansas City starter James Shields (2-5) allowed two runs and seven hits while striking out seven in seven innings.
"We're putting a good effort out there," Shields said. "That's all you can really ask for and obviously the results aren't there."
Castro singled with one out in the first, setting up Martinez's two-run blast.
In the third, Jeff Francoeur tripled to lead off. Kottaras then ripped a double to center, scoring Francoeur, to cut the deficit to 2-1. Chris Getz grounded out but allowed Kottaras to reach third, giving the Royals a chance to tie the game.
However, Alcides Escobar grounded out to third, and after Alex Gordon drew a walk, Billy Butler struck out to end the inning.
The Royals mustered just three more hits and were only able to get one other runner in scoring position.
Houston added an insurance run in the eighth. With two outs, Jose Altuve drew a walk, stole second, and scored on a double by Castro.
Veras pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to end the game.
Game Notes
Opponents are just 1-for-33 against Veras in his last 11 appearances. He has not allowed a hit in his last seven games ... Lyles made his 50th career appearance ... The Royals came into the game 3-0 in rubber matches, all on the road.

blazesoftware necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 1168 diseños de 190 diseñadores freelance.
We need a logo for a software company. The company, Blaze, provides software that intelligently optimizes the performance of Websites. Blaze enables site owners to improve their user experience by dramatically reducing page load times.
Blaze will be sold globally to Website owners who want to improve the performance of their sites for their users. The typical buyer is a IT exec. The user would be a site architect/developer or site operations engineer.
The scope of the project is to create a logo, business card template and simple style guide e.g. general look and a color palette (which will be used for a website).
The Company name is Blaze. Our website domain name is Blaze.io. We are considering working the .io into the tag line as "Intelligent Optimization". We are open to different options on this point and would consider logos with just plain Blaze or blaze.io or Blaze with the tag line. We have also not decided on whether to capitalize the B in Blaze or not. Help us decide with some good options and recommendations.
- The logo must be 100% original. Absolutely no clip art.
- The logo must contain the word, "Blaze".
- The logo can be a straight word mark or can contain an image.
- We are looking for a clean, contemporary look, cutting edge but professional.
Do not waste time designing a business card unless you have a 3-Star Rating. Getting the logo right is the first step. Once the logo is complete, the business card and style guide should be easy.
The Logo will be used on the Web and in stationary. As suggested by 99 designs, we ask for the art in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. Also include a JPEG.

Recently, I have been craving for Penang hawker food (street food).
I haven't been home to Penang for well over eight months so it's hard not to miss all the great foods of my hometown.
Curry Mee—otherwise known as curry laksa, or laksa—is a noodle dish with a coconut milk curry gravy. (This is not to be confused with Penang laksa or Assam Laksa, which is rice noodles with spicy and sour fish broth.)
There are many variations in Malaysia, but Penang curry mee is what tickles my taste bud, with toppings many would consider bizarre: pig's blood cubes (they taste like tofu except that they are maroon in color), bloody cockles, soaked cuttlefish slices, shrimp, and tofu puffs.
Although many people shun away from pig's blood cubes and cockles in their curry mee these days, I am a firm believer that these two key ingredients are the souls of Penang curry mee, without them, it's not quite the same. I always ask for extra blood cubes and cockles whenever I eat curry mee in Penang. I can't help it, I love these two "bloody" ingredients.
This Penang curry mee recipe is adapted from my favorite Penang cookbook: Famous Street Food of Penang (A Guide and Cook Book).
Unlike the rich and creamy curry noodles found elsewhere in Malaysia, Penang curry has a much lighter and less milky broth, which in my opinion, makes it a lot more appetizing as I tend to get tired (jelak) of the creamy and rich versions very fast.
Like most Penang street food, the preparation takes hours, but nothing beats a bowl of pipping hot and extremely delightful curry mee that closely mimics the taste of my favorite curry mee stall in Penang, which is Lorong Seratus Tahun Curry Mee.
Being 10,000 miles away from home, my Penang curry mee is really as good as it gets. Click here and here for pictures of Penang curry mee sold at famous hawker stalls in Penang, and mine doesn't look too pale compared to them. :)

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Switzerland scored three quick fire goals in the third period to beat the Czech Republic 5-2 on Monday and continue their stunning start to the ice hockey world championships.
Andres Ambuhl gave Switzerland the lead with a power play goal at the end of the first period before Nino Niederreiter doubled their advantage in the second.
Jiri Hudler scored twice to bring the Czech Republic back into the game, but the Swiss turned up the heat in the third, firing three goals without reply to move to the top of the group on eight points.
In the day's second game, an ineffective Sweden limped to a 2-1 victory over Belarus.
The Swedes fell behind in the first period but Oscar Lindberg leveled the scores when he netted five minutes into the second. Fredrik Pettersson scored the winner for Sweden with eight and a half minutes left.
Co-hosts Finland endured a frustrating first period against France in Helsinki but Juhamatti Aaltonen created one goal and scored another to turn the game in their favor and they ran out 3-1 winners.
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare pulled a goal back for France at the start of the third period but Ville Viitaluoma netted eight minutes later for the Finns to put the game beyond reach.
In the early game in Helsinki, Germany twice threw away the lead before losing 3-2 to Slovakia, Tomas Zaborsky scoring twice in the third period to help his team to victory.

Ha! On the channel I was watching, there was a commercial for the Harlem Globetrotters and Flight Time was on the commercial.

Hi I am Debbie, currently living In Canada. Been designing for 5 years and loving every minute! It is so nice to see so many peeps out here.. Great site!!
Introduce yourself!
Name is Mary and Im a stay at home mom to a 2 1/2 year old boy.
I love to cook, bake, read, and craft. I just started knitting and and teaching myself to crochet!
I haven't started to do digital scrap booking, but I do use the scrap book papers as back grounds for other projects.
For example I recently used a chalk board paper from here and made holiday subway art in Photoshop. I had the image printed out in revers and I transferred the image onto a piece of wood! Simple, easy and cost maybe $4 to make.
Welcome everyone! Thanks so much for saying hello!
Hi there! I'm Erin, 30, Mom of 3 great kiddos. I literally fell into this incredible site by accident! I was working on some simple printable type things for my nephew's birthday party and needed some stripes and dots, and did not want to create them from scratch. Tada...There was pixelscrapper. I've been playing with Fonto and Over on my iphone, and inkspace on my PC for a while, but NEVER knew about Digital Scrapbooking. Anyway, about 4 hours after finding pixel scrappers, I have created an entire airport birthday theme! I'm a genius to everyone! Thank you! I can't wait to dive in to these tutorials!
Hi - I'm Artha and i'm newbie. i like the design in pixelscrapper.
I think I already did this, if so, I apologize for the repeat, but want to make sure that I'm here!
My name is Pamela Bachmayer. I live in Central Texas with my DH Harlan. We live on a farm/ranch, mostly ranch. FIL owns a cotton gin and every year, we all work there making sure our farmers get their cotton ginned in a timely manner. The hours are long and there are no days off until we are finished. There are always a couple of farmers who are a month or so late, usually due to weather, so we let the crew go and all of us, even those of us who work in the office, will work in the gin, getting those last couple of hundred bales done and on their way to market. We just finished doing precisely that yesterday. It was cold and wet and I nearly froze to death so I'm extremely glad to be back home working on my computer, and catching up on everything I missed while we were ginning.
I am a mom of 3, all of whom are grown up and 2 of whom have given me 4 beautiful grandchildren between them. They live within an hour away, but the traffic is so horrible between us, we still don't get together as often was we like and often meet half way for lunch and shopping.
I started designing when they were all small. I designed needlework projects for magazine and book publications and yarn manufacturers. I loved designing but after 10 years, having to write all those tedious needlework instructions for each project was draining the passion out of it all for me.
When I remarried in 1999, I discovered dolls and began designing dolls. I loved it. There was so much versatility and opportunities to explore new techniques, etc and NOT A SINGLE INSTRUCTIONAL sheet had to be written. Loved it. I won numerous awards, both domestic and international and sold my dolls around the world. I was particularly popular in Japan.Because I loved to explore new techniques and often invested a lot of time developing ways to accomplish what I had in my head so that I could get it onto my dolls, I was told that I was very innovative in our industry. Many techniques still used are those that I developed first and taught others how to do. I was thrilled when a friend who designed for toy manufacturers said "These aren't dolls, these are art".
Last fall, I had an accident with my right hand. Unfortunately, my left hand was already disabled from an accident when my oldest was just a baby. Without full use of my right hand, I could no longer do the intricate work required to design and complete dolls. Since all of my dolls were one of a kind, my career was effectively over.
Very depressing. A whole studio set up, a doll half way sculpted sitting on my work table, and still sitting there. Sigh.
A few months ago, I started using my pazzles machine for scrapbooking and home improvement projects. I struggle with scissors so the pazzles became my friend when I had to cut something out. When searching for new techniques to use on the internet, I discovered digital scrapbooking. Okay..now I was in heaven. I still struggled with glueing things together and making a mess instead of the nice neat work I was used to doing. Digital scrapbooking took me to a place that I didn't have to struggle so much to design or create. I have got typing down again, but even a year later, the fine motor skills in that hand have not returned.
I have devoted the last few months learning how to scrap digitally, and then to design for digital scrapbook kits. I'm getting some put together and working on my blog/website, but it's been slow when I had to take some time off to work at the gin. I'm ready to work now and get my kits out there for sale.
I have Sooooo appreciated this site. The tutorials have been a god send, and being able to download templates when I want them is awesome. I was pretty quick to realize what an invaluable tool this site would be for me and immediately paid for my commercial membership. I hope now that I have some time to devote to this, I'll be able to be more active on the site. I'm participating in the Dec blog and participated in a designer challenge last month. I won't be able to participate in everything, but I'll be participating more often once my website it finished.
Thanks for ready my mini book I just wrote. I've already made many friends in the digi world and hope to make many more.
My name is Sonnet and I live in a tiny little community way out in Bush Alaska. No stores or paved roads, but we do have internet! As a mama to 8 kids, I have tons to scrapbook but not a lot of time or space to do it. I am transitioning from paper to digital scrapbooking and I love it so far! Sites like this keep me excited to try new products and to get some more of those memories preserved.
Welcome everyone! So glad to have you here!
Hi everyone! I'm Alison and I live in Atlanta. I used to be a paper scrapbooker but I took a break (was too busy) after our daughter was born in 2008. So when I got pregnant last January, I decided to catch up on all the scrapbooking I had missed and to do it digitally. So I am pretty new to this and I'm learning slowly. Love this site!
Hi there! I stumbled across this site while searching for a tutorial. I found it!! I am so excited to find this place, everyone is so nice and helpful.
I've been into digital scrapping for about 7 years now and it's so much better (to me) than paper scrapping. I hated the mess and put off scrapping because of it. I hope to be able to share some of my pages here and also maybe a freebie or two along the way.
Thank you Marisa, I think I've found a second home here!
Hello, my name is Angelique (Lieke)

I make ct pages for designers and I am a new designer from scrapkits myself "Angelique's Scraps"
The programm I use is Photoshop, I used Paintshop a year ago but since I started using Photoshop I never touched it again.
I love this site,I am a member for a few months but have not been here anymore since
That want happen anymore
Hello, My name is Mary and I love crafting of any kind. I only began digital designs a little over a year ago and I fell in love! I am still learning and was so excited when I found pixel scrapper sometime back, I had downloaded a few( well a lot) of the wonderful templates and that helped get me started. Then the site changed and I hadn't joined until just a few days ago. I know I'm going to learn so much from such an inspiring group of designers and digital scrappers. I live in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, and am the momma of 4 wonderful children. I have been married to my high school sweetie for 27 years. I love my life and find so much joy and inspiration from the beauty God created. Thanks for letting me be a part of the group and thanks so much for all your generosity.
Hi. My name is Heather and I've been paper scrapping for 10 1/2 years. I am a beginner with digital scrapping, but I love how I can still create what I did with paper with my digital designs. It's a little overwhelming, but I'm slowly learning.
I have 2 great kids, a dog, a cat, and most of all a husband who supports my love of scrapping. I grew up in The Black Hills, but I now live in the Twin Cities.
I am really loving the templates and tutorials! Thank you for all of your hard work.
Hi everyone! My name is Daphne, 19 years old and I live in Holland. I'm a student graphic design. I really like the study and making designs. I use this website for background images and more for my designs.
Hi all
I am a UK based photographer, near Birmingham, I have not looked through all the replies on here. But think I can safely say that as a male of the species I am definitely in the minority on here on this site I do hope all you ladies won't hold this against me.
I have recently started to appreciate the value of scrapbooking as a means of providing my clients with something that little bit different in the work I create for them. There are some great resources on this site for me to help me with my designs and I have also recently (yesterday) purchased a few kits from other sources to get me started on what I hope will become an enjoyable and fulfilling aspect of my business. I find I really enjoy making unique pieces for my clients from the wide variety of elements here and elsewhere.
As soon as I have accrued enough points here I will upload a few of my pieces for all to see. I am particularly interested at the moment in producing framed memorial prints for keepsakes and for use at funerals and services, and am always on the lookout for graphics that will be usable for this kind of thing.
Evening all,
My name is Debbie and I live in Cheshire, UK with my lovely fiance... I began crafting many years ago after a friend introduced me to it, I started out buying pre made toppers, papers etc from the shop but soon became bored as I found the selections very limited!! I did a little digging around and stumbled across the digital world and decided to give it a go... I have been hooked ever since
Although I am predominately a card maker I have recently discovered overlays and addicted to making 12x12 papers of which I hope to share some with you in the freebies section.
I now run my own little store selling digital craft items and love every minute of it!
Welcome, Chris Gibson - I hope you stick around!
Ive been here for a few yrs now.....

Just wanted to stop by and see the new introduction's and say hello. Chris Gibson, I started out a little over a year ago learning about digital scrapbooks for the purpose of making my own designs for cards for photography clients and have feel in love with the digital designing world. It sure is addictive and this is a great place to find resources and learn from great designers.
Hi everyone,
I'm Jennifer from Canada. I have two little girls, and I'm completely obsessed with creating patterns and digital papers. I use them mainly for my altered art, jewelry and mixed media art. Thank you for creating such a fantastic resource. I've been collecting all of the lovely textures.
Hi - I'm Karry and I live in Montana. I have done traditional scrapbooks for some time and have only recently started scrapping digitally. I initially joined Pixelscrapper for the papers because I thought there were so many nice collections. I would print them out and use them in my own layouts or in mini-albums that I like to make. I've been using Photoshop for awhile but mainly just for photo editing. I have learned so much from the tutorials on this site and that is actually what started me scrapping digitally...so, THANKS PIXELSCRAPPER. I have a 1 1/2 year old boy and it seems now I am scrapping more things since I can do it on the computer which is great for our family in the long run. To me doing layouts with children couldn't be any more fun! I LOVE IT!
Welcome everyone!
This is so exciting to see all the new faces from not just all over North America, but all over the world!
We hope you enjoy all Pixel Scrapper has to offer.
Please let us know if you have any questions about anything, all that participate in this site are so very helpful and friendly.
So many new faces! So glad to have all of you here! Thanks for saying hello!
Hola, Soy Tamara vivo en Chile y me encanta esta página ya que descubrí que es más que un lugar donde descargar hermosas cosas y más encima gratis, sino que es un lugar donde encontrar personas que disfrutan hacer lo que yo también disfruto, scrapbook, esto comenzó gracias a mi lindo hijito Diego que tiene tres años y comencé adornando sus fotos, luego empece a diseñar los adornos y ahora esta pasión ocupa todos mis tiempos libres, y este lugar me ha entregado tanta ayuda e información que me muero de ganas de quedarme aquí y compartir este hobby que me encanta, muchas gracias por darme la oportunidad de integrarme.
Hi! My name is Tina and I live in the (Central) Missouri Ozarks...a small town called Warsaw. Our area is best known for the Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir and we used to have Celebrity Turkey Shoots! I have been crafting and scrapbooking for a few years now. All of the people on this site are so talented! I love that you all allow us to share in your creativity! Thank you all!
Hello, my name is Christine and I live in Wisconsin, US, with my finance Darryl and our two kitties Sam and Sofie. I took up digital scrapbooking after learning Photoshop while attending college as an adult. I graduated in 2001 and found a great job as a graphic designer for my hometown newspaper.
Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called Chiari Malformation later that year. After having three surgeries on my brain and spinal cord to try and reduce my symptoms, I was left disabled and use the limited time I am able to spend on my computer mainly to digital scrapbook. It's what helps keep me distracted from my pain and other symptoms, and also help keep my focus on whats important in life, like recording those special moments with your family and friends.
I love the generous, sharing spirit of this community and am so happy to be able to participate in it. Nice to meet you all.
Welcome Tamara and Tina! Glad to have you here!
Hi I'm Jeanet. I've scrapped for some years now - only digital even though once in a while I get a urge to try out hybrid but I've never acted on that urge - yet. I live in Denmark with my hubby and dog. I used to be a designer but found that I didn't work well under pressure while keeping up with my day job so now I just enjoy making freebies - and lots of layouts.
Welcome Jeanet!!! I've loved your creations since DSP. Your layouts and your kits are always so gorgeously done!!! Nice to see you here!
Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am an educator in Texas. I have taught for the past 10 years and am currently taking time off to pursue my dreams as a consultant and curriculum designer. I currently work from home and travel around the United States (so far) to train teachers on interactive learning.
Between working from home, keeping up my blog and traveling I do stay quite busy. I have been on and off Pixel Scrapper for a few years and never really settled in until some fellow teachers brought it up to me a few weeks ago.
Thank you for an amazing place.

Paul Smith's College will launch a program to develop competency-based education (CBE) ideas as part of the Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC). The school is one of nine higher ed institutions chosen to participate in the CBE 2014 Breakthrough Models Incubator program.
"Participation in the 2014 Breakthrough Models Incubator will support Paul Smith's College in its work to develop competency-based programs designed for traditional students who are most likely to succeed in a college environment that emphasizes hands-on experiences and learning by doing," according to a school news release. "The goals are to make college accessible to more students, provide them with individualized support from day one through graduation, and give them what it takes to launch a rewarding career."
As part of its participation in the incubator program, Paul Smith's College will receive $50,000 to cover travel to incubator events and planning.
"We are truly honored to have been chosen for this pioneering opportunity, as we pride ourselves for leading the way in student support and experiential learning initiatives," said John W. Mills, president of Paul Smith's College, in a prepared statement. "We believe that anyone with the desire to achieve a college degree should have the opportunity to succeed, and the 2014 Breakthrough Models Incubator program will reinforce our goal of involving students in their own learning in ways that lead to success in college and the world of work."

Johnson leading way for KC on basepaths
KANSAS CITY -- Who's the Royals' leading base-stealer so far this season?
Surprise: It's Elliot Johnson, who'd played in just 48 of the 72 games prior to Sunday. His total was 11, just ahead of Alcides Escobar's 10.View Full Game Coverage
KANSAS CITY -- Who's the Royals' leading base-stealer so far this season?
Surprise: It's Elliot Johnson, who'd played in just 48 of the 72 games prior to Sunday. His total was 11, just ahead of Alcides Escobar's 10.View Full Game Coverage
Johnson will get more chances now that he's likely get the majority of playing time at second base with Chris Getz optioned to Triple-A Omaha. Johnson has good speed and stole 18 bases in 123 games last year for Tampa Bay, but he credits first-base coach Rusty Kuntz will improving his technique this year.
"Rusty's been helping me out a ton. He's unbelievable. He's really made my job easy on the basepaths," Johnson said. "As long as I can keep stealing bases, it adds an element to my game that isn't necessarily unique, but it certainly helps."
Kuntz has the goods on every opposing pitcher, a necessary tool in base-stealing.
"He's got them down. He's got times, tendencies, everything," Johnson said. "What they like to do -- any different number of things. It's pretty impressive."
Kuntz passes the credit along to a behind-the-scenes operative.
"As much credit as Elliot gives me, I have to give that much credit back to Mark Topping, the video coordinator," Kuntz said. "Because without him and that little iPad thing that he gives me ... I can't do it with the naked eye, because it happens too fast and you're thinking about a million things. But when he puts that stuff on your iPad, you can go back-and-forth and look at certain things."
Kuntz shares that information with Johnson and other base-stealing candidates before the games.
"What I try to find is one key, what I call a key. It's something a pitcher does when he goes to the plate, something that he does when he comes over to first," Kuntz said.
Johnson has not been caught trying to steal yet this season. Only three other players in the Majors have been perfect in 10 or more attempts.
"The one thing that Elliot brings that every good base-stealer has to have is, he trusts the information, he sees the information and he's not afraid to apply the information," Kuntz said.
The Royals, with 55 stolen bases, were tied for second in the American League with Cleveland. Boston was first with 59 going into Sunday's games. After Johnson and Escobar were Lorenzo Cain with nine and Eric Hosmer and Jarrod Dyson each with seven.

Sorry if I do not speak well but I'm using an online translator.
i have this macro:
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
Global nCursor As Long
Global sTextBox As String
Global oText As Object
Sub SingleLine_TextBox_StoreCursor (oEvent As Object) 'Text Box > Events > When Losing Focus
sTextBox = oEvent.Source.Model.Name
oText = oEvent.Source.AccessibleContext
nCursor = oText.CaretPosition
End Sub
Sub SingleLine_TextBox_Insert_Quattro (oEvent As Object) 'Button > Events > Execute
oForm = oEvent.Source.Model.Parent
IF oForm.isnew THEN oForm.insertRow() ELSE oForm.updateRow()
End Sub
only works if you point the cursor in a field Mainform.
I have a main form and subform, I would like the date (eg 1/15/12) is incorporated in the subform that is connected to the main form by relationship (Last Name, First Name, Date of Birth)
Mainform = Full name, date of birth
Subform = Full name, date of birth, presence)
I would make sure that if I click the button I insert the subform name, first name, date of birth, presence (which is imposed directly in the macro).
Thanks for the answers you give me.
P. S. forum in my country do not know an answer.

Sporting News' Hall of Fame college basketball writer takes a deep dive into one topic, then answers four questions burning in his sport -- while wondering whether the Rev. Al Sharpton is half the man he used to be .
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- It was a glorious October afternoon, and not just outside Kansas basketball's practice gym. Because inside, where the lights are electric and the air occasionally smells of sweat, representatives of KU's three NCAA championship teams were in attendance as the Jayhawks prepped for the 2013-14 season.
From the 1952 squad, forward Bill Hoagland was sitting in a folding chair adjacent to the court. A few seats down was sharpshooter Jeff Gueldner from the 1988 team. And wearing shorts and sneakers and occasionally slipping onto the court for drills was the unsung hero of the 2008 national champs, guard Sherron Collins.
The question that had to be inferred from this serendipitous convergence of KU greats: Might there be another 15 or so national champions in the gym, the guys doing the bulk of the work in practice?
On this particular day, coach Bill Self would have laughed sadly at such a suggestion. It was not the sort of effort he hoped to see. There were signs, though, even on a rough afternoon, that KU could be building toward something extraordinary.
The world is well aware KU is the temporary home of elite prospect Andrew Wiggins, a 6-8 small forward from Toronto who quite likely will be the first player selected in next June's NBA draft. He did plenty to catch a spectator's attention through the course of the practice. But there were a lot of other areas that made an impression:
Wayne Selden does not relent. I'll say this as directly as possible: Selden is the hardest-practicing freshman I've encountered in more than a quarter-century on the college basketball beat. Does anyone remember Iowa's Jess Settles? He's always been my standard for a high-energy player, and Selden clears that bar.
There are players with greater raw talent or a more natural basketball frame. (The 6-5, 230-pound Selden has wide shoulders and a thick chest; neither will hinder him, but they're not prototypical for an elite prospect). Selden makes few mistakes, seems only to take jump shots he is convinced will connect and just does not stop.
Selden is going to win a lot of basketball games for Kansas just with his energy and his precision. He'll win some more with his strength and athleticism, which coaches expect will help him to become an exceptional defender. He'll win one here or there with his shooting.
Wiggins's athleticism will permit him to do some things college opponents can't prevent. But those same young men simply won't want to get in Selden's way.
The center position is alive and well. There is a theory floating around that teams no longer want to employ a dominant center in the pursuit of championships. This is kind of amusing at the college level given the fresh success of Kentucky's Anthony Davis and Gorgui Dieng, but it is filtering down from the NBA, where long-term injury has left a Greg Oden-sized hole at the position.
Well, say hello to Joel Embiid, a 7-0 native of Cameroon who played high school ball in Florida. He owns physical gifts that call to mind Hakeem Olajuwon and basketball skills reminiscent of Tim Duncan. Embiid has great feet, jumps well, handles the ball like a skilled forward and fires perimeter jumpers with comfort and ease. When he learns how to apply all this, when he comes to terms with how truly talented he is--in the way Olajuwon did after a year with the Houston Cougars--Embiid will be a basketball monster.
Between Embiid and Chicago high school Jahlil Okafor, the center position is in great shape for the next decade.
KU is huge. When graduate transfer Tarik Black was in his first two years at Memphis, the program was low on backups at the big-man positions. Any time he encountered foul trouble, it was a calamity, so naturally he encountered foul trouble all the time. This is not an issue now. He is surrounded by big bodies in practice: Embiid, 6-8 Perry Ellis, 6-8 Jamari Traylor, 6-10 redshirt freshman Landen Lucas--even 6-9 senior Justin Wesley can throw down a vicious dunk or two.
That collection of size assures Wiggins can focus on adapting to the college small forward role, and that getting into the KU bench through foul trouble won't be that much of a boost.
A lot is on the point guards. Kansas is pleased with point guard recruit Frank Mason, a 3-star prospect signed out of a Virginia prep school because the staff admired his toughness. But neither he nor junior Naadir Tharpe is an automatic answer at the college game's most crucial position.
Tharpe was called on to bail out the Jayhawks when senior Elijah Johnson struggled near the end of last season; at times Tharpe delivered, at other times no.
There is more physical talent with this team, which could make the point guard's playmaking job easier, but there's also limited experience, which puts greater emphasis on the leadership aspects of the job.
It's not necessary to have an NBA-level point guard to win the NCAA championship. Jimmy Black proved that in 1982 with the North Carolina Tar Heels, and it was reinforced with Anthony Epps at Kentucky in 1996, Khalid El-Amin and Ricky Moore at UConn in 1999, Gerry McNamara at Syracuse in 2003, Taliek Brown at UConn in 2004. But look over the list. Those guys are exceptions, so they--and their teammates--had to be exceptional.
2) A UNC athletics tutor resigned citing Roy Williams' decision to have P.J. Hairston back on the team following Hairston's multiple cop stops. Surprised it took this long for someone to stand up?
DeCourcy: There've already been several people standing up and calling attention to the issues at North Carolina that impacted the athletic department, and it's been reflected in the reporting of Dan Kane and the Raleigh News & Observer.
What genuinely surprises me is someone who was working as an academic tutor at North Carolina for more than two decades could remain on the job when it was revealed the university had hosted a department that offered more than 50 courses that were considered suspect by UNC's own review -- and then suddenly become outraged to the point of resignation that a player would be kept on the team after essentially getting three traffic tickets.
There were some aggravating circumstances to at least one of those three traffic stops involving Hairston -- a gun found outside the vehicle, some marijuana found inside--but in the end he faced no charges on those matters.
So we're talking about three traffic stops.
That's what gets this guy to quit? Not the suspect courses? Dude should have been mocked for his dubious judgment, not granted the privilege of serious news coverage.
3. Kelly Oubre committed to Kansas , giving the Jayhawks their replacement for Andrew Wiggins. Tell us how he'll fit in Lawrence.
DeCourcy: One KU observer I encountered Tuesday said he'd heard Oubre is a lot like former Jayhawk Xavier Henry. I nearly fainted.
Oubre is more athletic, better conditioned, plays harder, rebounds better and can be coached into an elite defender. They are alike in two ways: 1) Both are extremely capable 3-point shooters, although Henry gets a substantial edge there; 2) Both are lefthanded.
OK, three ways: They both chose Kansas.
I believe KU fans ultimately will enjoy watching Oubre more.
4) Richard Pitino has just one season of head coaching experience, and now he's thrown into a league with some of the game's giants. Is this going to be the Gophers' hoops version of Tim Brewster -- splashy out-of-the-box hire, no results?
DeCourcy: It's too early to say where Pitino and Minnesota will end up. But this is a terribly hard place to learn on the job. The other 11 Big Ten schools -- no weak coaches. Not one. Nebraska's been down, but did you see the work Tim Miles did at Colorado State and North Dakota State? Penn State's had issues, but have you seen how sharply competitive even injury-wracked Lions teams have been -- how hard they play even when there seems to be nothing to play for?
The only other head coach in the league who is not enormously accomplished is Chris Collins, who is entering his first season as head coach at Northwestern as Pitino begins his second year as a head coach. Like Pitino, Collins grew up as the son of an excellent coach. Like Pitino, Collins has learned from the best. Collins' advantage is a longer apprenticeship and a lower bar of success.
Northwestern never has made the NCAA Tournament. An at-large invitation would make Collins a candidate for national coach of the year. Minnesota not only made the tournament last season, but actually won a game. And Tubby Smith still was asked to leave.
That's what Richard Pitino is up against.
Name recognition will help with recruits, but probably not with fans.
5) What's the best thing about the new court design at San Jose State ?
DeCourcy: That SJSU is so irrelevant we'll never be tortured by having to look at that on television.
People complain about the NCAA forcing buildings that play host to NCAA Tournament sites to use generic, standard-issue courts. Well, this is why. Ever since Boise State painted a couple of immense horse's heads on their floor and distracted TV viewers from what's supposed to matter--it's the game, everybody--folks in athletic departments all across the country have been trying to top that.
Well, here's the thing. They're not topping it. They're going lower. It's cute to cut an arch or the Red Sox logo into the grass of a Major League Baseball outfield. But it doesn't distract the viewer from the action because it's not visible in close-up.
Do they do this garbage in hockey, football, soccer? Do they even do it in the NBA?
No. You know why? Because it's ridiculous.

Portraits & Bio EXPO : "Celebrating Women in Chemistry: pioneers and future promises"Activity by Addy María Gomez | added on Aug 28, 2011 | Mexico
Sponsor(s): Fundación para la Educación Superior Internacional, A.C.
Small Portraits and Bio Expo to celebrate women in chemistry, rescuing the contributions of pioneers in the field and attracting students and general public attention toward the female chemists that are considered internationally as promises of the future for their work and profiles.
The exhibition aims to be a deserved tribute to those women who have been active in chemistry, but their names and faces are unknown by most people being pioneers in the field or because they are promises of the future (not very well known yet). In both cases their contributions have been important to the welfare of society and to exalt the role of women in science.
The tribute will take place december 1st, at Fundación para la Educacion Superior International headquarters, Moctezuma 65, Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico mainly through a pictorial exhibition (Portraits&BIO), and some students presentations enriching the expo.
This activity has the purpose of dissemination among youth and adults, these chemists contributions in a simple visual way that is suitable for everyone and requires no expertise in chemistry. Also it is planned that this exhibit moves to local schools and galeries. any activity celebrating the role of women in chemistry is a great way to celebrate IYC !
About the Author of the proposal:
She holds a B.S. in Chemistry in addition of being an independent artist.

SHAWNEE, Kan.—Police officials here were putting together a proposal for the Shawnee City Council's vote that would have required monitoring companies in the municipality to verify all alarms via a private security officer before dispatching alarms to the police. It's a very restrictive form of verified response that could have had huge implications for the security industry had it gone through, officials said.

Facebook for iPhone, which previously took heat for making their Places icon a little too 4-squared, is now being called out by mobile designer Bryan Haggerty for copying Twitter's photo sharing UI.
Seriously Facebook? http://pic.twitter.com/0ifNsdY
Ok Facebook, enough with the flattery. http://pic.twitter.com/vSyHdpH
Though TechCrunch points out Haggerty was at LinkedIn when LinkedIn's mobile app looked a lot like Facebook. Twitter for iPhone is no stranger to flattery, however, as back when it was still Tweetie, it's "pull to refresh" feature was so intuitive it quickly spread to other apps and even web frameworks.
At a certain point, a "best" way of doing something gets discovered and for the sake of consistency and user friendliness, it makes more sense for that "best" way to become a standard. (See Lotus vs. Excel). Whether or not the Twitter photo sharing UI qualifies as something so good it should become a standard, we'll have to wait and see.
