We've seen the R2-D2 Motorola Droid phone. We've seen a pretty young lady demonstrating that R2-D2 can, in fact, be sexy and we've even seen an R2-D2 BBQ.
But an R2-D2 version of the popular game Operation - that's got to be our favourite astromech droid spin-off yet.
The Operation Star Wars R2-D2 Edition just seems like the perfect fit. We mean, we loved Operation when we were younger, but always found it a bit weird poking around the innards of a naked man.
No, re-working a robot is a much more acceptable premise - and R2-D2 is possibly the most famous robot ever so he's the perfect patient.
"The Rebel Alliance's favourite astromech droid has developed all sorts of mechanical maladies, and it's up to your skillful surgical hands to get the little guy feeling right again," reads the official statement. And don't mess up - just look at C-3PO's concerned face, you wouldn't want to worry him anymore.

Jiménez bests González in Bergara
Carlos Jiménez made it back to back wins for Caja Rural this weekend as he came out tops in Bergara, Gipuzkoa, on Sunday.
Miguel Ángel Benito handed the prolific team the win in Beasain on Saturday, and Jiménez followed that up nicely with a win of his own a day later after emerging as the fastest sprinter from a 20-something group that formed in the closing clicks.
Strong climber Ander Plazaola of Lizarte tried to go it alone with a ferocious attack the last time going up the Asentzio climb, but it all came back together for a small sprint finish.
Alain González of Naturgas Energía had to make to with second, while Paul Usabel of Cafés Baqué, eighth yesterday, closed out the podium.

Clemson expects to get Georgia Tech's best shot on Saturday.
It's no wonder Dabo Swinney can't escape thoughts of d�j� vu with Georgia Tech even though the Yellow Jackets have lost their last two it's no wonder they still evoke a sense of uneasiness for the Clemson coach.
It's not just coach-speak when Swinney proclaims the utmost respect for Tech as he's only 1-4 lifetime against the Yellow Jackets and head coach Paul Johnson. Georgia Tech has won five of the last six meetings, including the 2009 ACC Championship game in addition to handing Swinney a 2008 loss in his first game as head coach. The Jackets visit the Tigers on Saturday and have won four of their last seven trips to Death Valley.
So if the Tigers are having any sort of superiority complex after Tech was drubbed 49-28 by underdog Middle Tennessee State last week, there are plenty of lessons to be learned by the recent past.
"It's a rivalry game and it's always, always a tough game," Swinney said during his weekly press conference. "We've had some real knockdown, drag outs with these guys, but we haven't won much as of late. This is a huge game for us and a huge game for them."
Saturday starts a stretch of two consecutive home games for the 15th-ranked Tigers (4-1, 1-1 ACC) who will be at Death Valley for five of their last seven outings. Georgia Tech played the spoiler against Clemson last year in Atlanta when it upset the 8-0 and sixth-ranked Tigers 31-17 as Clemson committed four turnovers. The Yellow Jackets would lose three of their final four after that with the lone win at Duke.
"This is a team capable of beating anybody and just look at last year what they did to us," Swinney said. "We came in undefeated, fat and happy ,and we go to Atlanta and they beat us."
Ironically the Yellow Jackets welcomed the Tigers last year while on a similar two-game losing streak before notching their biggest win of the season after rushing 67 times for 383 yards, including 176 by quarterback Tevin Washington. And that was against a Clemson defensive front that had multiple players taken in the NFL draft. Tech currently ranks third nationally in averaging 329.4 rushing yards per game.
"Georgia Tech has a very veteran offensive line, but it all starts with (Washington)," Swinney said. "He killed us last year with big plays. He destroyed us. He's a very dangerous player and that's where it all starts in defending those guys."
Despite the humbling loss to Middle Tennessee, the Jackets (2-3, 1-2) have been competitive in the other two losses in dropping both in overtime at the season opener at Virginia Tech (20-17) and two weeks ago against Miami (42-36). They topped 50 points in wins against Virginia and Presbyterian.
"They are coming off two overtime losses and that can be a very difficult thing to deal with," Swinney said. "You work your tail off all season and then lose two literally on the last play of the game. I'm sure they are disappointed with how they played last week, but we'll get their 'A' game, we'll get the best they've got and our guys know that."
Johnson acknowledged the parallels to his team's similar situation when it faced the Tigers last season, but doesn't expect to get as much help from Clemson this time around.
"We had them at home last year in a night game and our crowd was great and everybody was into it," Johnson said during his weekly press conference. "They helped us by turning the ball over some early and we got some momentum going and kind of hung on and built on that. I don't know if going to Death Valley is ever a good thing, that's a tough place to play.
"But (after two losses) you just want to go out and have a chance to play again, no matter who or where it is. We've had some good games with them the past few years so hopefully if we can hold our end of it, it will be a good game again."

bookbinding - gold leather & muslin longstitch
The binding is a longstitched limp leather binding.
The closure is a sheer ribbon that enhances the gold, but doesn't clash with the muslin.
There are 160 pages (320 both sides), the dimensions are approximately 6" x 5" x 1" (16 x 13 x 2.5 cm).
I was inspired by the glamour of the gold when mixed with the simplicity of the muslin. They belong together.
I have this listed @ my artfire store.

HealthSouth Visitor's Brush with Death Brings a New Perspective on Life »
HealthSouth Visitor's Brush with Death Brings a New Perspective on Life
When Robert (Bubba) Zelensky, of Morrisdale, Pa., walked into HealthSouth Nittany Valley Rehabilitation Hospital on July 25, he had no idea that the events about to unfold would forever change his perspective on life – and death.
Bubba was visiting his mother, who was a patient at HealthSouth. He was sitting in her wheelchair, talking with her, while she lay in the hospital bed. Suddenly, his heart stopped, and he became unconscious.
HealthSouth Registered Nurse Elise Howard was the first to find Bubba, and responded immediately with life-saving efforts. Nurses and staff quickly joined her and a team was in place to keep Bubba alive. "Bubba was in the wheelchair, so we moved him to a bed and started CPR," says Howard. "We were all working together to save him."
HealthSouth staff initiated the 911 call and the local EMS (emergency medical services) companies responded swiftly and efficiently. Bubba was transported by ambulance to Mount Nittany Medical Center, and then life-flighted to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.
Three day had passed, from the time of his sudden cardiac arrest at HealthSouth Nittany Valley, to the moment he fully regained consciousness. "I have flashes of waking up in the hospital, and in the helicopter, with people standing over me, but for the most part, I was unconscious," Bubba says.
Bubba doesn't recall anything about the events leading up to his visit at HealthSouth. He has no recollection of the photos that he took with his phone that day, and items that he purchased at the store. "I can't even remember walking into HealthSouth to see my mom that day," he adds.
What Bubba does remember is a clear and vivid experience that would forever change his life.
Bubba describes what happened: "My body was zooming towards a brilliant light, and the light was a place that I wanted to be. But something was covering my eyes; I was not able to see clearly," he explains. "It was kind of like going through tall grass; I wanted to push away whatever was keeping me from seeing what was ahead of me."
Then, as Bubba looked ahead towards the light, he could see two people. "They were younger, but I recognized them as soon as I looked into their eyes," he said.
Bubba saw his father and his grandmother, both of whom are deceased. "I was excited to see how healthy my dad looked," he added. "They were both in the prime of their life!" He continues, "But Dad was 'shushing' me away with his hand, as if to say, 'you're not supposed to be here.'"
Bubba said that he was "bathing in that light" and that although he was walking towards it, he could not catch up to the light or his family.
His next clear memory is waking up as a patient at Geisinger Medical Center. "This experience gave me a new outlook on life, and a feeling of peace about death," Bubba says.
"When you go through something like this, it's humbling, he says. "I was kept alive by the angels at HealthSouth."
Bubba also cherishes another form of an angel – a hummingbird that appeared to his son while Bubba was in the hospital. "My son was praying to my dad (his grandfather), asking him to watch over me," Bubba explains. "At that moment, a hummingbird hovered in front of him, and he took a photo." The photo shows a hummingbird, in the perfect shape of an angel. Bubba adds, "I call it 'my son's angel,' and it's another part of the experience that will stay with me forever."
Bubba, an instructor in the kitchen at the Houtzdale State Correctional Institution, is fully recovered and enjoying life at home with his family, grateful for the experience.
"I still think about it so much, and I get flashes, like memories, that come back to me," he says. "The whole experience sealed the deal for me. I know what death means and I'm not afraid. "
The Centre County Chapter of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association recently recognized local EMS personnel and HealthSouth Nittany Valley nurses for their rescue of Bubba Zelensky, who experienced sudden cardiac arrest while he was visiting his mother at HealthSouth. The recognition event was held on September 14 at Mount Nittany Medical Center. Pictured with Bubba, center, are HealthSouth Registered Nurses Elise Howard, Buddie VanHart, Shelby Wellar and Katie Treml. Additional staff involved in the rescue include Natasha Poorman, CRRN; Holly Preslovich, CRRN; Michelle Gray, nurse staffing coordinator; and Lori Flattery-Jarvis, RN, nurse manager.

BIOCARTE exploits the properties of prokaryotic transcriptional regulators of the XylR/HbpR family to design à la carte regulators that will be employed to determine the bioavailability of nitro-, bromo- and chloroaromatic chemicals and biphenylethers. The core of this proposal is the application of high-throughput combinatory genetic technologies to the protein module that sets the specificity of the response to distinct aromatic compounds. This will allow the generation and selection of regulator variants able to recognize and to trigger responses to a large variety of chemical species.
The selected proteins will be employed in various biosensor schemes through the coupling of the cognate promoters to genetically formatted lux and gfp reporters. This genetic standardisation will go in parallel with matching instrumentation, hardware and software suited for measuring the optical output of the system and its use in the field.
BIOCARTE will pursue five objectives:
The work will be organized around five poles of activity:
BIOCARTE will develop a set of genetic tools to evolve and select XylR/HbpR regulator variants specifically responsive to different pollutants. The regulators will be operative in robust Pseudomonas strains bearing stable chromosomal insertions with lux and gfp fusions responsive to the chemical species under scrutiny. The strains will be employed as the primary sensor component in a series of assays including microtiter plates, strain microarrays in microfluidic chambers and an automated station.

I did not like the program at all. It is apparently aimed at those with problems using a mouse, as indicated by some of the positive reviews. For them, perhaps, it is quite helpful, but I found it absolutely counter-intuitive. I uninstalled it immediately (about five minutes after installation).

Short Story: Just as it came to me ! video
Just as it came to me!
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,/but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the Law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"and again, "The Lord will judge his people.It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
As I lay on my bed a few moments ago this thought came to me and I leaned over, and there in front of me on the floor was this piece of paper with the above scriptures written on it. I knew the these scriptures well because it's for the same reasons that I was thinking then are the very same reason I again came back to the computer to again return the favor and it is a favor of sharing the answer to a long standing misconception.
So many people it our world and even here on HP, are living with this belief that if I say a prayer and when I did the priest say another one for me God is great and merciful I will get into Heaven or into the same place where so many others are going. They are correct about the latter. But let it be known, that you cannot have the cake and eat it too.
Because if you will take a good look at the above statement from out of the Bible the king James version and you can read because that's what you do here . In all fairness, if you are putting out you own that someone should read, it's only fear that, you also read someoneelses. There you are expected to find something of your kind of interest. Now what happens when you don't?
Do you scratch your head and say oh boy, what do I do? Or you immediately make up your mind as to what you have to do? I guarantee you that the best advice that you have in your human person, never comes out. Instead you may be able to more quickly, tell a lie!
This is what I was thinking while lying on the bed. I said wait a second, this is similar to the question that I once. Can a soldier
Be a truthful man of God? Never got a satisfactory answer, but I do have a brain and I believe the truth is also in me. So I had to go back to that same Bible and see for myself, that there ware many battles, most of which, had to do with the victory of good against evil.
Now here are those who are seeking followers, they are not choosing them and having a very truthful reason, because it's not a message they are sending, its money they are chasing. And we all know about the love of money. Clearly stated in the book of
1 Timothy 6:10for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Now how many more of those people are you going to hook up with, seeking to satisfy your own selfish ways , after which , you disregard the Most High God, in some of the most abominable ways . Ways like turning around and blaspheming against those same people that you only just prostituted. Those are my thoughts when and ran to make another note on the computer, ending up with this.
Now I can't help myself thinking about Moses and Pharaoh. There are some people who passed my way and they said straight out, that they are trying to supplement their income, so they are doing this and would appreciate a follow, there is nothing wrong there because I will help a fellow human being in any way I can. But not when I know that is the same human that will come around to stab me in the back. We too, those that believe that there is a God watching over mankind, reminding him that what goes around comes around again. I am not speaking about something that occurred to someone else by to me. I can handle anything here, but what's about your brothers and yes you are his keeper, because that's who you will meet in the doctor's office, in the police car, in the operating room, at the altar, confessing what?
Read the verses above.
So I am just your human brother saying to you that God don't like ugly. I understand that people way have a lot to do with their ages most of the time, and for this children will be treated with a more watchful eye. You are the ones to be setting the example, not creating the complication. I believe if you knew, what was best for so many people you won't stop at HP, it would be just like it is for me a step in the road I am traveling, and my word is good. Those who have negatives to say of it look to your own self. As it's said in the book John 8:7 when they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
So it seems some how the lessons are here, but there are those who will rebelliously go against, for their selfish gains. Now will you do all this and know that here is a human brother pointing out some truths up at the top of this piece, don't care you are better off with your sorrow and still expect some how to miraculously be taken up into heaven? Or you are one of those and your belief is death and done!
Now is there something Bad in me saying this to you ,but you prefer to read how to destroy someone.
Bob Marley said : I 'll never forget no way , they crucify Jesus Christ. And I won't either!
These are the things those who care, do for them they care about. In the footsteps of our creator. For God so loved her Gave! What are you giving today?
All rights reserved:
I thought i commented on this early this evening..I must have not hit the post comment..I've been doing that a lot lately, Anyway, I wanted to tell you that i admire your loyalty to God's word. I agree that greed is evil. I fight against that in my life as well..Thank you again...
You always seem to hit on the topic I'm tossing around my brain, the one that's bugging me, and put it in the terms that are the truest. God's love is for us to share with everyone, not just those who agree with us. Thank you for reminding me of that. I tend to let anger cloud my thinking sometimes. You keep me grounded in some way I think. God bless you!
Sky, I like the way you put your thoughts out for all to see and digest..I agree. Money is the root of all evil, as a friend once said, " People like money so much, some will actually work for it. " He was telling a joke, but it's true..Many people on HP write for money and there's nothing wrong in that. The wrong is putting money ahead of truth and friendship. Cardisa said it well, when you put money above the Lord's work, you need to rethink..Thank you again for sharing...
When you spoke about the followers and monetary gain, I kind of felt guilty because I am only online to make money. If I had it my way I would be writing novels after novels and never have to work online. But I do know you were not speaking to me but to those that have forsaken the way of the Lord.
Voted up! I always rely on the Lord and I know he's there by my side. If I need guidance I just have to ask. Anyone tells me of their troubles or sorrows and I pass it all onto the Lord because I know he can ease their troubles. God bless.
I have read this twice and I am bookmarking to read for a third time.
The reason I am doing this is that every time I start to read someone interrupts me before I can digest and get the reply straight in my head.
Your words deserve full attention and I am on the same wavelength as you. Your powerful words come through clearly ;I will get back to you tomorrow with a true comment.
Thanks for putting so much work and honesty into your hubs Sky.
Take care;
you share scriptures.. when the light in your head goes on.. a sign perhaps to hit the keyboards and spread his word.. another gift.. we sin and hope it continues to be disolved by the sacrifice because I think that's what we think will happen.. but your message is clear.. eyes -opened thanks my friend.. now go back and finish your nap..:)

When Snapchat introduced itself in 2011, nobody ever believed that one-day Snapchat
would take on with social networking giants like Facebook and Twitter. But with time,
Snapchat has proved its mettle when it's reported that daily 700 million snaps are sent
out and being seen in terms of videos and photos.We all know about the 'historic' snub
that Snapchat has given to Facebook one year ago when the revenue-less tech start-up
royally turned down the $3 billion deal from the social networking giant Facebook, and
invited the ire of many tech pundits,who not only shouted out and labeled Snapchat as
an arrogant, but also became confused that how a 'non-elite' entity like Snapchat can be
valued in billions.
Though already Snapchat has created an anxiety in the minds of other social networking
sites with it's offerings, how ephemeral might be it is in nature, till very recently,
Snapchat didn't show any interest in put ting up advertisements.During October 2014
when Evan Spiegel- the CEO of Snapchat declared in a summit in San Francisco that
Snapchat is aiming to build itself as a big and independent conglomerate. It also means
that from now on, Snapchat will be highly focused in attracting brands and making
interesting ads of fleeting nature, to exploit the milliseconds the user will give to an ad to
Someones Getting Killed Then
But is Snapchat really suitable to place Ads right now?
On October 17, 2014 Snapchat has published an announcement in it's site to notify
the users of United States that from now on, they will receive ads under the 'Recent
Updates' section of the mobile app. Snapchat also assured the users that these ads will not
be 'forced' in nature, as an user can choose for himself which ad to see or not i.e. the ads
are 'opt-in' in their types. So far, brands like McDonald's, Taco Bell and GE have rushed
to be on board of the marketers of Snapchat advertisements. But there are some questions
that are not still very clear.
Firstly, if the ads are ' opt-in', then the conflict arises that would any marketer be ever
comfortable in investing ephemeral ads that's appeal depends upon on whether the user
will see it or not?
Snapchat or Other Social Media
Also in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter the ads appear in the main
page and they are woven beautifully (strictly from an advertiser's point of view) with
the main social networking experience of theuser, so that, you can't miss any ad even if
you want to. In YouTube videos also the ads come before or at the middle of the video,
and though you can 'skip' it, you at least get to know what the ad is all about. But in
the ' Recent Updates' section of Snapchat where the ads will be playing, it depends
upon entirely on the viewer whether they will spend few seconds on them, as Snapchat
has promised it's target group that no ads will ever appear in their personal snaps or

Economic Mechanisms for Environmental Protection: Business versus Market Transaction Costs
Ayerbe, Conchita Garces, Gorriz, Caremen Galve, International Advances in Economic Research
This study presents theoretical arguments and evidence that attempt to show the contribution of economic mechanisms typical of a business for resolving problems of environmental protection. Firstly, a brief synopsis is given of the classic solutions that environmental economics proposes for correcting environmental externalities. Next, the benefit of expanding these two mechanisms is discussed so that they include those intermediate mechanisms for which it is not possible to clearly establish if they are developed within the domain of the market or the business. The study's focus resides in the fact that the explicit expansion of the range of solutions proposed from a macroeconomic point of view establishes a connecting point between environmental economics and business economics, an area in which academic attention to environmental matters has been significantly less. (JEL D23, K32)
The first vestiges of environmental worry in economic thinking goes back to the start of the 1970s when environmental economics was formed as a specific area in general economics. The basic argument of environmental economics is found in the problem of externalities associated with the use of common property natural resources. Given that there is no meaningful price that represents the value of these resources, their conservation or improvement does not offer individual monetary rewards. Likewise, individual degradation actions or uncontrolled consumption are not penalized through the imposition of costs. The consequence is immediate: the particular economic decisions that affect that common property natural resources do not consider the impact (externality) caused to the rest of the co-owners.
Based on this argument, the solution proposed by environmental economics has the basic objective of defining the appropriate economic mechanisms for internalizing the externalities. In order to achieve this objective, two types of mechanisms have been proposed: the interventionist solution and the market solution. In general, environmental economists have reduced the core of their discipline to discussing the benefit of each one of these two mechanisms. Nevertheless, resolving the problem of environmental externalities must be completed by the efforts of business organizations. In the following pages, the authors will defend this argument according to the underlying hypothesis that business constitutes an alternative mechanism that, in certain circumstances, allows contributing to the internalization of environmental externalities at a comparatively lower cost.
Classic Economic Mechanisms for Correcting Environmental Externalities
Environmental economics is concerned with the relationship between economic activity and the surrounding economic framework developing according to the principles of sustainability. The most commonly accepted definition of sustainable development is established in the Brundtland Report by the World Commission on Environment and Development [1987, p. 8]. It is development that satisfies present needs without compromising the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own needs. To do so, it studies three basic areas: resolving the problem of externalities, optimizing inter-generational assignment of non-renewable resources, and valuation of non-market resources. For the purposes of the arguments shown in this study, the primary question is the first one. From this point of view, there are two approaches in the literature that propose solutions to the problem of externalities: the Pigovian approach and the Coasian approach.
Even though environmental economics was not considered a differentiated area of economics until the 1970s, the ingredients that served as a basis for establishing the two approaches date back much farther. Specifically, the Pigovian approach appears with the work The Economics of Welfare, published by Pigou in 1920. …

Just when it looked like the Boston Red Sox' lineup was going to have some serious stability, another injury hit. Will Middlebrooks went on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured finger. Right now, there is no timetable as to when he will be back. Are we ever going to see him healthy for any extended period of time?
Now that he is out, there is a need for a third baseman. Xander Bogaerts could very easily slide over to that position like he did last year. That would leave Boston looking for a shortstop. There is still a very familiar name out there who would probably be welcomed with open arms. That would of course be Stephen Drew.
Drew is still unsigned and it appears that he will stay unsigned until the June draft happens and teams won't lose a top pick. I would say that Drew has better range than Bogaerts and he could be a very stabilizing force to the left side of the infield which has been lacking so far this season.
I understand why Boston didn't really want to sign him for what he wanted during the offseason, but Boston now has some holes that need filling and there doesn't appear to be a lot of internal options. What is wrong with going after a proven veteran — who has played in Boston and done very well — and signing him for the rest of the season?
If Boston wants to win now, it needs to make the moves to prove it.

Interestingly, a successful company/product in a category is probably more likely to discourage competition than several that have failed to gain traction. The reason is obvious, but this is probably backward. A success shows that people want what's being offered -- and there's usually room for a couple different twists on something people really want. While, a category that has yet to find a winner is a very strong sign that some assumptions about people's desires are wrong -- which is not going to be changed much by a new twist or better execution.

Robert Gottliebsen: how China will soon rule our world
By Robert Gottliebsen
Business Spectator
As China's President Hu Jintao leaves Washington, it is important to go behind the specific issues that were discussed to the more important historic event we are seeing unfold.
It was once true that global changes of the guard took place over a long period of time – the rise and fall of the Roman and Ottoman empires, for instance. However, we saw with the British Empire a rapid decline in Britain's economic and defence superiority triggered by the Second World War.
In that case the Americans took over from the British and it was a smooth transition. Most importantly, the Americans were ready to take the leadership.
For most of the 21st Century we have been forecasting that in a couple of decades China would take the economic superpower baton from the US, though it would be a very long time before the US lost military superiority.
But the global financial crisis has suddenly catapulted China into global economic superiority. The Chinese military build up and America's concentration of air defence spending on the disastrous Joint Strike Fighter development, plus China's access to the superior Russian aircraft developments, means that before the decade is out China may have both global economic and defence superiority.
As it is, China's economic ascendency means that there can be no agreement on any major issue, whether it be climate change, nuclear arms, Iran, Korea, the value of the US dollar, and so on, without China's agreement. But this has all happened much faster than anyone planned and China faces many internal difficulties – coming to grips with global economic superiority is itself a challenge.

Secondly, last night I returned from South Africa where – apart from the football World Cup – the main conversation point was the rise of China in Africa. They realise the baton has passed. The American consulate general office has a very prominent place in Johannesburg, but it is a monument to a past era.
So, today I want to look at the global implications of this passing of the baton and tomorrow I will look further to what it means for Australia.
The US gave away its economic superpower status when it transferred its manufacturing capacity to China, ran huge deficits mainly funded by China and then finally decimated its banking system by concentrating its corporate strategies on short term profitability (sub-prime funding, etc) rather than making sensible long-term decisions.
The first repercussion of the baton change is that the US democratic/capitalistic model which we have assumed to be the best way to generate wealth and human well-being is not admired by China.
They have watched in amazement as under this system the US dismantled its manufacturing ability and US and European banks threatened the solvency of their nations simply to achieve executive bonuses and short-term shareholder return. They also watched Americans become more and more dependent on Chinese capital. No one can be sure how China will develop politically, but it certainly will not be the American model.
Accordingly, China as new economic superpower is not interested in being lectured by the US or anyone else.
The Grattan Institute's Saul Eslake says that right now it makes sense for China to allow its currency to float upwards because currently it too low and the current system, whereby it buys US dollars and then prints its own currency, is causing too many local distortions. But China does not want to be shown to be forced to do anything and significantly President Obama did not lecture the Chinese, realising it would be counterproductive.
Doubtless China is manipulating the US dollar, but the Americans have given the Chinese the power to interfere in its currency by running up enormous government deficits. The Chinese are always on the look out to use their leverage.
Many African dictators rose to power with Chinese support. It's now pay-back time. China is getting the inside running on many African resource developments and in some cases have been allowed to bring in their own labour (rather than just management) to undertake the development.
For the US it is too late, so if America tries to regain its superpower status by taking economic measures against China, the Americans will be the main sufferers and the world will be a much less prosperous place.
China has its own set of internal problems and is divided over whether the old export model remains the right course or whether more effort should be spent lifting living standards in Western China.
It's important for Australia that the transfer of power be smooth and that China resolve these difficulties.

text: Hi all, first of all, I am a newbie at BHW and thanks for all of you to bear my poor English. Now this post is telling what I have done and how I done after my site had been affected by Panda and Penguin. From 22nd, May 2013, my traffic dropped, a god damn dropped and my keywords had been far away from #1 or #2 page on Google. At that time, I don't know what's going on but still keep doing what I do as normal. And you will know the result-things get worst at 1st October 2013. After that, I just change a little, I stopped and thought a lot, then I decided to change the way of my keywords. For example, (just an example) I sale diet pills, and I used to set my keywords which can link to my site like diet pills, lose weight, diet pills lose weight. But I know that this way cannot be used anymore, so I change them like "how to use diet pills to lose weight", "can diet pills help me to lose my weight", "the best diet pills help in losing your weight". Now I can see a good result after Penguin 3.0, the long tail keywords rank #11, 12 even #7 on Google. But I still have questions. 1. When I search "diet pills", I still cannot find my site on the front page, but when I search the long tail keywords like "can diet pills help me to lose my weight", I can see my site on #1 page. I know that some people still use "diet pills" to search on Google, but more people like to use "how to", "the best", etc keywords to search. So what should I do to be better? 2. Though lots of long tail keywords rank good, but the traffic of my site only gets a little, just a little improvement. For example, my site gets 800 per day. After 2013, only get 70 or 80 per day. Now I can get 150 to 180 per day. Why can't I get the 800 back? Can this be done? If yes, how? I know that my English is not so good and you may be feel difficult to read the post I write, but I do really hope I can get help from here. Thank you very much.

New icons for iPhoto and GarageBand for iOS have been spotted in the iCloud Storage Management settings of iOS 7's Settings app, notes 9to5Mac. The new icons appear radically different than the old ones, with a much flatter, iOS 7-like design.
As the iCloud Storage Management icons are handled over the air, it's likely that the iPhoto and GarageBand icons were accidentally released ahead of schedule. Given that they were, however, it seems likely the two apps -- along with iMovie, which has not had a new icon leaked -- may see updates shortly after Apple's event next Tuesday.
Besides the iLife iOS apps, Apple still needs to update a number of apps for iOS 7, including iBooks, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Remote and more.

Marvel Universe, formerly Age of Apocalypse
Real Name
Henry "Hank" McCoy
Beast, Black Beast
Secret (general populace of Earth-616 is unaware of McCoy's existence)
Apocalypse's Empire, Earth-295, formerly U.S.A., Earth-295
Place of Birth
Dunfee, Illinois, Earth-295
First Appearance
X-Men: Alpha
355 lbs.
Brown (originally), black-gray fur (currently)
McCoy also conducted experiments on himself attempting to make himself the perfect mutant. Instead, he turned himself into a monster known throughout the Breeding Pens as the Dark Beast. During the final days of Apocalypse, following the mutiny by Sinister, McCoy became even more radical in his experiments. Without Apocalypse's Horseman looking over his shoulder, the Dark Beast was free to do as he wished. He burned through thousands of mutants looking for the ideal combination of genetic power.
During the final hours of Apocalypse's rule, Jean Grey and Prelate Scott Summers freed many of the mutants the Dark Beast kept in his Breeding Pens. These freed mutants rebelled, and the Dark Beast, realizing many of his captives would be looking for revenge, went into hiding. He was found by the X-Men when they teleported into Apocalypse's stronghold. The Dark Beast, knowing Apocalypse's kingdom was falling apart, teleported himself into the M'Kraan Crystal, taking his chances on the millions of realities that lay inside of it.
The Dark Beast traveled back in time and ended up in the main Marvel Universe's reality at the same moment the boy known as Legion was attempting to murder Magneto. A young Emma Frost discovered him and they worked together briefly, but the two parted ways. It is believed he is responsible for the creation of the Morlocks and Gene Nation, as well as many others.At one point, the Dark Beast kidnapped the good Hank McCoy from the X-Men and entrapped him. The good Beast eventually escaped and returned to the X-Men. The Dark Beast fled. He recently resurfaced in the ruins of Genosha, apparently having joined Charles Xavier's efforts to rebuild the nation.

This is unusual for me to do something quite as bright as this as I usually stick to neutrals (boring, I know...) but since I was going on a night out and wanted something different I chose to use Violet pigment which is such a gorgeous colour ♥! I put Top Hat e/s in the crease, lots of Blacktrack and some Ardell lashes, and I used Mac Enough Said beauty powder blush on cheeks.
P.S. My hair wasn't done yet :)
What do you think??

The GOP's 24-hour meltdown
Trump's promise to unify the Republican Party is in tatters, as an all-out civil war grips the GOP.By Nolan D. McCaskill, Politico.com
Donald Trump on Tuesday night assumed the mantle of presumptive nominee and declared: "We want to bring unity to the Republican Party. We have to bring unity."
Three days later, the GOP is tearing itself apart.
Friday brought another day of incredible division and revolt with Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham falling in line not behind Trump, but behind House Speaker Paul Ryan, who said a day earlier that he cannot yet support the brash real estate mogul as his party's standard-bearer.
Trump, instead of trying to make peace, lashed out.
He fired off a vicious statement, calling Graham an "embarrassment" with "zero credibility."
Then he laced into both of his former rivals during his rally in Omaha, Nebraska, where he is continuing to campaign ahead of Tuesday's primary, despite having vanquished the rest of the GOP field.
"But I won't talk about Jeb Bush. I will not say — I will not say he's low energy. I will not say it," Trump told a boisterous crowd who booed at the mention of his critics. "I will not say it. And I won't talk about Lindsey Graham, who had like 1 point, you ever see this guy on television? He is nasty. … He leaves a disgrace, he can't represent the people of South Carolina well."

Really flashy title just to say, I magically remembered my wordpress password!
Timing meets fate more times than I care to admit in my life! I am excited to revitalize this account with new content and my own personal insight as this world forces me to have an opinion; I am adult enough to know better than to not share them via a normal social media platform. But I still find need to document my daily ramblings.
It's a sunday night. I'm sitting with one laptop in hand while my hubz sits 2ft from me with his, plotting and drawing circles and lines I'll never quite understand. He's a smart and very talented cookie – I like him. I'll keep him.
Now to plot away my agenda for my next post!

I know bad crap is always going down in the world, but last week just about did me in.
First, the reminder that the gap since 2001 of terrorist bombings was probably a lull, the realization that now we may be dealing with CHECHEN terrorists (they were the ones who murdered many schoolkids in Beslan, among other things; it seems the radicalized groups in Chechnya are every bit as evil and perhaps even more ruthless than the Saudi terrorists).If this isn't just a one-off, but a first wave, it's going to get horrifically ugly, and we may see even more losses of civil rights in the name of stopping the terrorists.
And the fertilizer plant explosion near Waco. That's been less played up in the media of late because of the arrest of Suspect #2, but it was still a very big, very bad thing. There is film of utterly destroyed apartment complexes. And schools. And there is a nursing home where, although they apparently got everyone out safely, the residents have now had to have been moved to other facilities all over central Texas.
What gets me the most is that a lot of the fatalities were volunteer firefighters. I have students who are volunteer firefighters here. They go out and fight brushfires, which seem to be the main thing that happens around here. And while brushfires can be dangerous....it's not the same as having the factory you are running toward blow up.
And yet, as awful as that is, it was apparently a terrible accident. (Although there are rumors that malfeasance or poor management may have come into play)
But the idea that we may begin facing what Israel is facing and has faced on a regular basis - I don't know if our culture can handle it. (I don't know if I can handle it).
I just feel like the world is going to Hell, fast, and nothing's going to stop it. There are other bits of crappification going on - my piano teacher is having to retire from teaching and take a different job because of changes in the tax laws and the increase in her taxes. So now I get to try to find someone new who is willing to work with a fairly-green 40-something student. And the crappification of college education continues, the push to make us all Universities of Phoenix with all its attendant issues and problems. The congregation I belong to continues to shrink and I am so not emotionally prepared for church-hunting. And it seems like this is all happening at once.
The ironic thing is, I guess what I said at the table on Sunday helped a lot of people - in the prayer I referenced the tragedies but spoke about how when we go out and try to make things better, whether it's by donating blood or by opening our pastures to displaced livestock (as some folks near Waco did for the people in West) or comforting the sorrowing, that we serve God by doing that.
And I want to believe that.
And on some level I do.
It's just, there's so much bad crap in the world that the BEST I can do is like a fragment of a pebble thrown into the ocean. And while I'd never give up and go over to the dark side, neither can I any longer believe that any good undoes bad. Bad looks like it's winning, and maybe it WILL win, at least for now. And I don't want to keep on keepin' on in a world where bad is winning. I don't want to have to wait for the afterlife for things to seem right again, but maybe that's just how it is.
I don't know. It's really hard for me to work up enthusiasm for what I'm teaching when it feels like the world is going to hell.

There's a quote from "The Stand" that I think of often when I fear that evil is winning in the world: "The effective half-life of evil is always relatively short." Not exactly a heavyweight source, but I think it's true.
The thing is, history shows that evil systems eventually all collapse from self-inflicted wounds and/or the weight of their inherent corruption. The same fate awaits the evil we see today, though it may not be so obvious to us now. We just have to fight the good fight.
And if I really need to buck up, there's always Psalm 23.

My first manicure in October was the week of my birthday using my new OPI "Ski Teal We Drop", a beautiful teal that I decided to try stamping on. It didn't work out too well so I only did an accent nail:
On my birthday itself I changed my nails to a dark red from China Glaze called "City Siren" which I thought would look great on my nails but is a bit too brown toned for me to love it. I decided to go dotty for my birthday! I loved this dotty effect so much that I wore it for two weeks, I must do it again:
I also got myself a birthday present of six of the muppets collection: Designer de Better, Pepe's Purple Passion, Divine Swine, Gettin' Miss Piggy With It, Wokka Wokka and Meep-Meep-Meep. Ahhhhh, I love the muppets! I didn't get my favourite muppet Kermy's polish but am thinking it might be on the hit list!
After my China Glaze, I had to change it up with a Zoya. "Envy" this time and somehow it ended up looking like a Xmas manicure:
I had become a devotee of Seche Vite by this time but on this manicure it seemed to cause some shrinkage.
One Saturday afternoon, I invited my half sister over for a pamper party with some friends to do nails and make up with my friend Victoria. She ended up only bringing one friend with her and in the end, I am quite glad! (I'd forgotten what "interesting" conversation you can have with a gaggle of girls aged 12!) My sister also joined us and despite her disdain for nail art, she let me do a subtle neutral design on her:
The patchwork design looked so nice and a great way to use my more of my growing polish collection so I treated myself to one in Zoya "Sooki", China Glaze "2030" and Color Club "Where's the Soiree?" (it kills me to write "color" like that with my pedantic pants nickname but I guess it is an American company, sigh...)
I ended October with a manicure I didn't like too much as it was a poor effort. It was my attempt at cherry blossoms but I think my branches were too thick due to using the wrong brush. I did like them overall so I shall try to recreate it sometime. I did my cherry blossoms on Orly "Ancient Jade":


text: Here is the complete summit register from Mount King George as of August 9th, 2014. Note the huge difference in years between the first and second ascents (52 years)! I spotted the register well below the actual summit, which was interesting. I know for a fact that many more people summit this peak than is indicated in the register so I'm assuming that either most parties don't bother signing it, can't find it or it's buried beneath snow.


text: Have you ever heard of Daniel Radcliffe's musical How to succeed in business… without really trying? Well, at least in New Brunswick, this sentence is not so true. With the economic crisis, many businesses have had to close. But some are still there – and if you are thinking about opening a retail in George Street or you are just curious, you might want to listen to how they are doing it.

What The Hell Am I Doing?
Have you ever wondered why you don't seem to accomplish anything?
Lately, everything I attempt turns to crap! I can't get a handle on any sort of a routine. I can't even find my arse with both hands; let alone any one else's! I just feel worthless and minuscule, and totally ineffective.
I know there are many folks with much worse matters to attend to than I; but I haven't even been enjoying cooking. That is usually the one thing that relaxes me, and where I can let the creative juices fly! Sorry for that stupid, lame metaphor; but as I pointed out earlier, I kinda suck right now. I don't even seem to even have time to lurk at my favorite blogs, so I can't blame teh innertubes for distracting me from my duties. I feel tired and stressed, and I have an annoying rash on my hips and shoulders that is about to drive me over the edge! I'm even going to have to wedge a doctor appointment in there somehow. Have I mentioned that I hate doctors?
Wel; thanks for letting me bend your ear. It's good to be able to vent once in a while!
Now, if you'll excuse me; I think I left my shoes in the freezer!

Some days, weeks or months are like that. I have tried to clean off my desk at home now for a month and it looks as bad as when I first started. I keep thinking winter is coming and I will have plenty of cabin fever days to worry about that. Sorry about the rash, that would drive a person crazy. Relax go to the doctor and get it better. Talk to you soon,

"The simple things are the most extraordinary, but only a pure heart can recognize them."
Paulo Coelho
I can't believe how time is running. I haven't had a post since 6 days. Okay.
I always had something in my mind but didn't make it to write it down. Nevertheless the weekend was awesome! Good times for sure! I was laughing non stop I think. There was this Cave Cladium, a middle ages party we went to and afterwards to Big Mouth, our punk pub. 16 hours party and a kick-ass flea market in the morning, hilarious! I met so many friends that evening I haven't seen for so long, it was great! It's another "meeting gathering point" once a year where you know you're gonna find most of your people. When I look back at saturday I'm getting kind of sad about leaving. But there will be still my party, pheww! And it's only the UK. It's not the other end of the world like last time. It'll be okay I think.

Girl ends up with 3rd-degree burns from homemade slime
- Author: Marlene Weaver Mar 29, 2017,
Mar 29, 2017, 1:55
Kathleen Quinn was taking part in a popular do-it-yourself project at her MA home.
"It felt really hot and tingly", Quinn, of Rockland, told WCVB.
When she came home, her dad put ointment on her hands and placed them in white gloves to relieve the pain.
Mom Siobhan Quinn was initially thrilled to see her daughter in the kitchen and away from the television - until this week when she started to notice her hands turning red. Doctors said Quinn's second- and third-degree burns were due to extended exposure to Borax One - a common ingredient in homemade slime.
"I've had other mothers say, 'Oh, we've made it a million times, it's fine, nothing happened to my child, '" Siobhan told WCVB. Thankfully, Kathleen is expected to make a full recovery. "Glitter slime, clear slime, sequin slime, glow-in-the-dark slime, puffy slime, and metallic slime are just a few of the gooey concoctions to surprise us, all of which use Elmer's glue as a key ingredient".
"It's not created to be a component for household projects like making slime", Consumer Reports Chief Scientific Officer James Dickerson tells PEOPLE.
11-year-old Kathleen Quinn has been making "slime" since December.
"I thought it was great", Quinn told the news station. Siobhan took her to Shriners Hospital - where they treated her for second and third-degree burns.
Michaels has installed "Slime Headquarters" on aisle endcaps, with displays sporting glue and slime mix-ins like beads and glitter, according to the Associated Press. It's worth noting that other recipes for homemade "slime" call for using corn starch or liquid starch, instead of Boric acid.
Sodium borate, also known as Borax, is typically used as a household cleaner and the label warns customers to not eat the substance and to keep it away from their eyes.
Deejay's chemical burns got her a referral to a plastic surgeon, her mother said.

The annual Barna summary is not very encouraging.
Even though George Barna has been conducting national public opinion surveys for a quarter-century, surprises emerge each year from those studies. The California-based researcher traditionally ends each year by identifying some of the unexpected and most significant findings of the passing year. Barna released his list of the twelve most noteworthy results of 2006, and described a few themes that ran through this year's surveys.
Barna selected the following dozen outcomes as the most significant findings of 2006...

Thetrainline.com has recently started working with a new type of billboard: farm animals. The company is now outfitting sheep living along popular railways with Thetrainline.com branded coats.
The sheep owner, Hugh Broom, provided quite possibly the best quote in nontraditional marketing industry news this month: "...it's surprising that nothing like this has been done before in the UK. There is quite a bit of surface area to work with, plus it's sure to brighten up train travel. I just hope my ewes don't start turning into divas!"
The walking, "baa"-ing billboards are part of the company's larger campaign, which uses the animals in both TV commercials and outdoor poster ads.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6gs2OdzZj0

Right on the heels of landing one of the nations premier car shows Lake Georges Festival Commons has announced its most successful season in its short history.
The open space area in the new Charles R. Wood Park was designed to attract events of all types by the owners, Warren County and the Village of Lake George. Following an opening season that featured only three events, the 2016 season followed with seven. Thus far sixteen events are booked according to Mayor Robert Blais who handled the bookings and the oversight of each event.
Not only are we extending our shoulder seasons but our events offer at wide-range of festivals designed to attract thousands to the Lake George region and fill hundreds of rooms, the Mayor said.
The 2017 season kicks off on May 5-7 with the Northeastern Barbershop Quartet Competition bringing groups from all over the USA, Canada and Britain. This event packed Bolton Landing for several years during the 80s and 90s.
That event is followed by the new Law Enforcement Weekend on May 19-21 featuring competitions, seminars and social events throughout Warren County and Hudson Falls. This event has gained national recognition including ride-ins from the Blue Knights and Blue Friday motorcycle clubs.
Following in the first week of June the Eastern States Towing and Recovery Association returns to Lake George bringing hundreds of large trucks and vendors to the festival grounds.
Americade and the 398 Group are bringing in a national touring band on June 10th to entertain their guests. The highly successful Adirondack Wine & Food Festival follows for June 24-25.
July and August shows include the new Lake George International Film Festival slated for July 10-11 with films scheduled on a big outdoor screen along with seminars and vendors at the Commons. The National EVP Volleyball Tournament will take place at the Commons and at Million Dollar Beach as well as a third appearance of the popular Shriners Circus on July 21.
Jonathan Newells British Invasion III returns on August 12-13 as well as Alex Lombards Classical Music Festivals Premier Concert at the Commons. Musicians from all over the country spend a week in Lake George at local venues and this year at the Marriott Courtyards new rooftop garden. The following week the Festival Space will host the 260th Siege and Surrender Anniversary Encampment Festivities.
The parks fall season kicks off with Adirondack Independence Music Festival followed by the Adirondack Nationals Car Show. Next is the nationally recognized Hemmings Motor News Concours DElegance car show featuring classic cars, fire trucks and police vehicles.
The Festivals original American Music Festival runs Sept. 23-24 and the Lake George Arts Project is planning a Barbeque, Bands and Brews event rounding out the seasons events.
The availability of Occupancy Tax funds and the sheer beauty of the space has helped to attract many of these events in Lake George, Mayor Blais said. Funds from the rental of the space are used to maintain the entire park that includes the stormwater management wetlands, a childrens playground and a skate park.
Mayor Blais expects that the Festival Commons will become another great attraction for the Lake George region but continue to offer a variety of events that will bring visitors to the lake during all seasons.

Hmmmm.... me?
Go get comfy. This might be a long one. In fact, I may go grab a cup of coffee...
I remember when I first stopped drinking I was greatly concerned that I would lose my "ME". That I would lose my creativity, my love of words, my writing ability (what little of it there is) and my love of dirty and gross... This didn't happen. I found that I still loved the same things, and was able to write and talk about them with the same results. My creativity actually increased... and my focus got better.
That was a huge relief to me.
Then came AA. Six months into it, I know I have changed. I'm a work in progress, and that progress is going to take a long time, perhaps a lifetime, but I'm changing on a daily basis.
And once again, some fear crept in that I was going to change and lose my "ME". I could see the difference in my message board posts... and in my status updates and comments on facebook. I watched myself, almost as if I were looking over my shoulder, as I would type things that I never would have thought to type before.
Things like "Adding you to my prayers"; "hit your knees"; "Can I do anything for you?"; "please call me anytime you need someone to talk to"... stuff like that... I found myself becoming a kinder, gentler tigger. One with compassion instead of detachment. And meaning it. Not just typing the words... really meaning it.
I knew the new brave tigger would be welcomed - ascared tiggers can be trying on your nerves. That part of the new me didn't worry me. It was the baudy, naughty, dirty scraples bo, gross 13 year old boy tigger that seemed to be dwindling... and I was honestly ascared of losing her. Even Jeanne was having trouble doing the Font... trying desperately to find a tiggerism in my Dawg posts...
I was worried that I would lose my tiggerness.
So I asked some people that know me best. And their responses were all the same. I haven't disappeared. I'm just MORE ME, rather than LESS ME! And just so nobody is worried, I still love dirty things, and words like balls, boogers or penetration still make me do the :evil6: face, I love wearing my white socks and lighting candles, my scraples bos still make me wiggle in my seat, I still lust after Cyn's son and truly, any hot guy that crosses my path...
I'm still me.

Of course you are you, just better. We all knew that before you did. Keep on growing. You stop growing, you die. You aren't ready for that.

Here's my most recent layout for Jillibean Soup!
Finally scrapped some pictures from my trip to NY!
Love the Blossom Soup collection, I used my
Slice machine to cut out the butterflies, my goal was
too embossed them but I totally forgot and only
remembered when it was too late. Ooooops!
