TIF board to look at traffic flow issues at Gateway Blvd and Ind 49
By KEVIN NEVERS
Commuters who
regularly use Gateway Blvd. at rush hour have almost certainly found
themselves cooling their heels in queues extending nearly as far east as
Village Point.
That's not just
because traffic is heavy early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as
Chesterton Street Commissioner John Schnadenberg told the Redevelopment
Commission at its meeting Monday night. And it's got nothing to do, really,
with the timing of the traffic signal at Ind. 49 either, he noted. "INDOT
has adjusted the light as best they can."
Instead, the
congestion has almost everything to do with the concrete median islands
which separate the westbound lanes of Gateway from the eastbound lanes. From
the four westbound lanes of directly at the mouth of Gateway Blvd.--two
left-turn lanes, a through lane, and a right-turn lane--those islands almost
immediately pinch traffic back into two lanes all the way east to Village
That means there
are only a few car-lengths' room in each of the four lanes at the mouth of
westbound Gateway Blvd., and that means that a commuter has a pretty fair
chance of having to wait for two or three cycles of the traffic signal
before getting onto or across Ind. 49.
But Schnadenberg
and Town Engineer Mark O'Dell have a possible solution to the problem: cut
out a good-sized slice off the two traffic islands, move the curb over 12
feet, and add a third westbound lane. That would create a much longer
stacking lane for motorists wanting to turn left onto southbound Ind. 49 and
therefore significantly reduce the wait as well of motorists wanting to go
straight or turn right.
The commission
liked the idea in principle but Member Jeff Trout thought to tweak it a bit.
His concern: drivers who've exited Ind. 49 for the purpose of getting gas at
the Speedway could well find the pass-through cut between the two islands
blocked by westbound traffic.
Why not try this
instead, Trout suggested: make a single continuous--and less
protruding--concrete median island from the two current islands but end the
new island at Blackwell Drive. Speedway's road cut onto Blackwell Drive
could then be the main entrance to the gas station and its road cut onto
Gateway Blvd. a right-out only exit. Folks leaving the Bob Evans and Hilton
Garden Inn, for their part, would get back onto Ind. 49 by first going east
on Gateway to Blackwell, then U-turning west onto Gateway at Blackwell.
In any case, Trout
said, the traffic issues on Gateway Blvd. are only going to become more
complicated as Coffee Creek Center becomes more densely developed. "It may
be time to look at traffic flow. We've already got all the Urschel people
coming in and going out and that property is only half developed. This might
be the time to visit the issue because there's going to be more activity out
Schnadenberg and
O'Dell told members that they'd put their heads together and get back to the
commission soon.

A Shell-Shocked Badlander… Escapes to the promised land which turns out to be Hardlands. Life is harsh and brutal. Danger lurks in many places, beneath the calmest of waters, rip currents raging.. The Ex-Badlander then a Hardlander have moved away and migrated to the real promised lands! The former Badlander and Hardlander is no longer a System Engineer. In the promised lands, he is just a System Administrator. It may not be "Fluid Level Controller" but it is important enough.. Maybe someday after he has proven worthy, System Engineering might be his aspirations again.
Life is still hard, lessons learned from the Badlands and the Hardlands shall come handy but new lessons must be learned as well.
Struggling in Life in Pursuit of Happiness. Just what is happiness? Well, happiness is a Soulless System. A system where everything works in perfect precision. You might say that I'm a perfectionist.. I may very well be, it is something that I aspires..
Nonetheless, no one's perfect, you can try but definitely you cannot achieve perfection. Only God and possibly his Messengers (God knows and God knows best)..

Ideal Plot Of Land For New Home
First, figure out exactly what you want out of your house. How many bedrooms do you need? How many bathrooms would you like? How many people will be living in the household on a daily basis? Do you have guests stay with you from time to time? This will help determine the amount of interior square footage you will need. Once you have a rough estimate of your interior household's design and square footage, begin working on the exterior estimate for your home. Will you be installing an in-ground pool? Will you have a guest house? Will you have a 3-car garage? Will you have a garden? Take all of these ideas into account so you can determine what type of land will be friendly toward your endeavors, and exactly how large of a lot you will need (when combined with your estimate of the interior square footage).
Next, you will want to decide on the architectural type of house you'd like. Will you be going with a more modern home that uses large, open spaces, large windows, and high ceilings? Or will you go with a more traditional home that consists of just the opposite? Why does this matter? For example, if you choose to go with a modern home, you'll want a lot that will be exposed to a lot of light and you'll want to have good air flow around your home.
Lastly, you'll want to ask all the natural questions you'd ask yourself about a piece of land. Will this plot be exposed to lots of flooding? Is it a disaster if an earthquake comes through? Are there too many trees close to my house? Will a hurricane be likely in this area? Don't forget the simple things as well as the "disaster" scenarios. How close are you to amenities? Will you have access to city/county water lines, sewage and electricity? Is the area exposed to a lot of crime?
By answering these questions, you should be well on your way to picking a lot that is ideal for your home. There will always be different types of questions to ask in different regions, but these should generally guide you along the right path. Once you've selected the right plot, you'll want to begin the appropriate paperwork to get the lot transferred to your ownership.

Good news: "Glenn Beck signs new, $100 million radio contract" – We're not posting a link – it's all over the Web today. But here is another example of a courageous political person standing his ground, standing up for his principles and ideals, and winning. Sweet, sweet payback.
Go cry in your beer, liberals who think you won when Beck left Fox News. Since you don't listen to Right Wing Talk Radio, you'll be taken by surprise again and again in the coming years. TV does not reflect reality on the ground.
Bad News – The Scott Walker bounce is over! Bailouts of banks, including Spanish banks, don't convince the market that all is well. We think most investors, including big fund managers, are looking at fundamentals in the U.S. economy, and aren't too happy with what they see.
Sure, they were encouraged by the Walker and Calif victories which show that voters will be giving some government entities tools to solve their budget problems, but there's more to the picture. Housing and unemployment are still big weights on the economy.
Sure, Texas and Wisconsin and a couple of other states are doing pretty well, ("fine" as the President would say), but overall, there's still a long way to go.
News: good? or bad? "Chicago public school teachers authorize strike" – Good, because the alreadly-fed-up public will have one more demonstration of the arrogance of teacher union leaders. Bad, because teacher union bosses still haven't learned their lesson
Our own investing plans given this chaotic situation? We're sitting tight. No buying. No selling. And yes, that IS a decision. It's a decision not to decide for a little while.

Over the last few days I have been testing the difference between Dye based ink jet digital negatives (Epson 1290) and Pigment based digital negatives (Epson 3800) when printing with platinum/palladium.
The above shows the two prints side by side, the print on the left I used a pigment based inks to create the negative, dye based on the right.(click on the print to see larger version) The difference is quite obvious and I would be interested to hear which print people prefer.
My initial findings show that the dye based negative seems to be blocking a lot more UV light than the pigment based negative and resulting in a significantly more contrasty print. The print has more 'punch' to it. I like it, as it has a certain luminosity to it, however I am not arriving at the print I expected when I finished editing the negative in PS.
The pigment based negatives on the other hand gives a good rendition of what I see in P.S but lacks the luminosity of the dye based negative print. I need to find some half way point between the two prints and believe I have two options to achieve this.
Either adjust the curve in PS for the pigment based negative or try and boost contrast through the platinum/palladium chemistry (i.e more drops of ferric oxalate #2) I prefer the former option to the later as this will add more grain to the final print. I will try both options and post the result.

Extraction of Phthalates from Polyethylene and Polyvinyl Chloride
Phthalates are used as plasticizers in a wide range of common products and over recent years have garnered a lot of attention due to their potential negative health impacts. These impacts are so concerning that the use of some phthalates have been banned in children's toys by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The ability to quickly and accurately extract phthalates from plastics such as polyvinyl chloride is advantageous and can help aid in ensuring the safety of the products made of these materials. With its patent pending Q-Cup Technology™ the EDGE™ can extract plastic samples in less than 10 minutes. The proposed method has been found to be faster and more effective than other methods for this application.
Phthalates have been used since the 1950's to soften plastics and can be found in products that most people encounter on a daily basis, such as personal care products, vinyl flooring, children's lunch boxes, backpacks and toys. Even more alarming is that phthalates can be found in many items that young children, who are more prone to put things in their mouths, come in contact with. Phthalates have been described as dangerous chemical toxins and that can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, and reproductive systems and have been linked to alteration of DNA integrity. Since they are not chemically bound to the plastic, phthalates are continuously being released into the environment and people are exposed through repeated contact. The extraction of phthalates from plastics needs to be a quick and simple process so that manufacturers can confidentially release products that meet the safety guidelines of the CPSC.
The extraction of phthalates from plastics is difficult for a number of reasons. First, the complexity of the samples and the low melting point of the plastic make it difficult to extract just the analyte of interest. Next, the traditional methods for extraction of phthalates are time consuming and often yield extracts that are cloudy and contain multiple co-extracts, making analysis difficult. Lastly, is the potential for unacceptable levels of carryover from sample to sample. The EDGE is capable of producing a clean, filtered, and cooled extract that is ready for analysis in less than 10 minutes. Each 10 minute extraction cycle also includes an efficient dual solvent wash which cleans the system and eliminates risk of carryover.

This week was mostly dedicated to awareness meeting to women about their period cycles and the kit of protection we are offering them.
No visit to the LAP this week.
Cashew nuts project / grafting
Cashew nuts are becoming interesting to produce; price is going up every year. We are looking at the interest for farmers to plant the cashew nut trees. For this, they need to have land available. We also found out that elephant love cashew trees (for the fruits, but also for the bark of the trees. Since there are elephants roaming around some of our villages, better not attract them more.
The cashew nut tree can start to produce after 3 years. We wanted to grow some seedling from cashew nuts at the LAP. However, we have find out that grafting was the way to go. The research inst
itute for agriculture in Burkina has been selecting trees, which give good production of fruits every year. They take grafts from those trees to produce good producers.
We are looking at a collaboration with this research center to plant cashew nuts trees, which could be used to take out grafts.
The project will be to provide those improved trees to the farmers willing to plant them.
Presentation to the women
Odile and Marion did the presentation in two villages: Kofila and Nefrelaye.
A very good crowd at Kofila. A very good mix between young and less young women.
Very interested crowd, but not many questions at the end of the presentation.
Proverb of the week
Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.
Les enfants doivent apprendre à penser et non ce qu'ils doivent penser.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men
Il est plus facile de construire des enfants forts que de réparer des hommes brisés.
Have a good week,

President Bush's re-election as Chief Justice William Rehnquist is being treated for what could be a serious form of thyroid cancer means that a Supreme Court vacancy could occur soon. The Associated Press says GOP gains in the Senate — Republicans will hold a 55-seat majority — help make it easier for Rehnquist to leave. Douglas Kmiec, a Pepperdine University law professor and legal adviser in the Reagan and first Bush administrations, believes Rehnquist "welcomes the idea that he will be able to leave the court at a time when his own political party is in the White House and when the balance in the Senate is more likely to confirm a nominee closer to his own legacy."
Kmiec said Rehnquist's family — the widower has three children — and other close friends such as his regular poker buddies will likely encourage him to think of himself. "They will say he no longer has to be concerned about the political calculus," Kmiec said. "The people have resolved that for him."

Tru Ferguson's current body of work focuses on the deconstruction of the face and body into multiple layers paired with the integration of light. In doing so she invites the viewer to re-examine traditional perceptions of the human face and body on a level that goes beyond the exterior.
She aims to create images that provoke conversation concerning concepts of self, beauty and body image. By taking traditional images and re-shaping them, Tru encourages the viewer to question what it means to be beautiful. Is beauty really just skin deep? Can it have many layers? Are you willing to define it on your own terms and not be influenced by the media's perspective on physical beauty?
Tru Ferguson strives to challenge universal definitions of beauty laid out by popular culture, and re-define them according to her personal experiences. Rather than looking to common standards of beauty which she finds limiting, the layers in Tru's work represent the potential for finding beauty where it is typically least expected.

SAVE ME Opening Reception
We want to thank everybody that came out to the Opening of SAVE ME on June 27, 2013!
Was an amazing party, lots of great feedback, and a righteous launch for our new charity, Artists Renaissance Kensington!
The exhibition will close July 11, 2013. Please feel free to come by before then to check out the art!
A.R.K. – Artists Renaissance Kensington
In June 2013, the 185 Augusta Collective initiated a process to establish a charity known as A.R.K. – Artists Renaissance Kensington. The SAVE ME Exhibition was the kick-off event for this charity, whose mission statement is the following:
Background Information:
With the on-set of corporate development in and around Kensington Market, one of the few vibrant, diverse and creative neighbourhoods remaining in Toronto, there is a sense of urgency surrounding how residents, business owners and cultural actors will respond.
Having established their own microcosm of sustainable living – a residence that can function as a studio and gallery for a collective of artists – the 185 Augusta Collective has offered to play a leading role in developing a strategy for how Kensington can make essential moves to resist the threat of an increased corporate presence.
The notion of ownership is key to the on-going debate – if property belongs to individuals whose interests lie in preserving the unique cultural expressions privvy to the market, then there is a tangible means of preventing corporate, big box organizations from establishing themselves within the fragile socio-economic system of "mom & pop's" and "underground merchandising" storefronts.
Given this perspective to community resiliency, a group of individuals, made up of both members of the 185 Augusta Collective as well as community residents and stakeholders, are attempting to establish a charity dedicated to the acquisition of property in Kensington Market. The goal is to acquire property and then to transform the spaces there-in to affordable, fixed-rent live-work opportunities for artists and other creatives.
There are many ways that this overall vision can evolve over the course of time. For example, will the targeted property provide storefront visibility for artists? Will residences be separated from studios? Will the property house an institution or merely function as a private apartment? While we recognize the importance of these questions, we will ultimately let the Members and a new Board of Directors work towards resolving this picture for Kensington's future. At this point in time, our focus is on taking the appropriate steps to ensure that we can establish this Charity and agree on its mission and vision for protecting the right to affordable housing and productive spaces for artists in Kensington Market.

'The Online Participation Divide' seminar with Eszter Hargittai
Event details Event cancelled
Join us for this fascinating talk where guest lecture Eszter Hargittai will discuss differences in online participation according to user background, socioeconomic status, gender and Internet skills.
RMIT's Digital Ethnography Research Centre presents visiting scholar Eszter Hargittai, Delaney Family Professor in the Communication Studies Department at Northwestern University where she heads the Web Use Project.
While digital media have lowered the barriers to sharing one's perspectives and creative content with others, research on online engagement has found considerable differences by user background.
In the first part of the talk Eszter will explore differentiated rates of online participation including photo and video sharing, writing reviews and editing Wikipedia. Findings suggest that gender, socioeconomic status and Internet skills are all related to who shares content online. Drawing on some of the challenges of existing work in this domain, the second part of Eszter's talk will explore the various dimensions of online participation that are worth keeping in mind when studying such activities.
Speaker – Eszter Hargittai (PhD Sociology, Princeton University)
Starting in Autumn 2016, Eszter will hold the Chair in Media Use at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Her research looks at how people may benefit from their digital media uses, with a particular focus on how differences in people's web-use skills influence what they do online. Her work has received awards from several professional associations, including the International Communication Association's Outstanding Young Scholar Award. She has published over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and 19 book chapters. She is co-editor with Christian Sandvig of Digital Research Confidential recently out with MIT Press. She has given invited talks in 21 US states and 15 countries on four continents.

"Finishing Well" is the name of the game. Here was a rich, young ruler - a 1st century "yuppie" if you will - who, although getting off to a rather problematic beginning, finished well, indeed.
A rich young ruler questioned Christ about what he needed to do to inherit eternal life. Mark's Gospel includes a detail that Matthew and Luke failed to mention: " And Jesus looking upon him loved him..." This hints at the possibility that young John Mark himself may have been that rich young man.

Article Title
Magic spelling tricks have a special appeal to those of us with a passion for recreational linguistics and mathematics. Provided or course that they are well done. This means that mathematics should be subtle (sometimes the performer does not even fathom it) and the denouement should be dazzling. In a recent letter to us Martin Gardner indicated his top two choices. He was commenting on his Word Ways article "An Amazing Spelling Trick."

Well, okay, most of the lists are not a full "ten", but no matter. These lists reflect my own preferences and opinions only, and are based on my own CD collection (which is slightly biased toward Reclaiming artists) and my personal experience. So take them with a grain of salt and a sense of humor.
Some of the chants listed here are on my Chants Page. If you want to know more about the Pagan recording artists mentioned here, you may want to check out my reviews of Pagan chant CDs.

"Zatoun is Palestine in a bottle"
Fair Trade Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Soap
Zatoun olive oil is meant to bring to North Americans the human experience of Palestine and its people, especially farmers who depend on the land and its fruits.
Taste, smell, touch, see the glorious essence of the land that flows with life for Palestinians. Unknown outside its region, olive oil from Palestine is of exceptional quality with a lustrous green colour and unforgettable taste.
Support the farmers of Palestine in the struggle for their livelihood and land. Farmers are paid fair trade prices through Palestine Fair Trade Association (PFTA). Proceeds from each bottle sold is contributed to Trees for Life, a program to plant 12,000 olive trees each year in Palestine. An additional one dollar per bottle goes to help support Project Hope, an independent, grassroots effort to bring the expressive arts (painting, drawing, music and drama) as a means to help heal and contribute to youth in Palestine.
Zatoun is available primarily through grassroots groups and individuals working for social justice and peace in Palestine-Israel including faith-based groups of all denominations. Zatoun is intended as a tool to help promote their work and literally bring home the message that the struggle of Palestinians is one of human rights and justice.
Olive oil is a basic food which reminds us of our humanity and a symbol of our aspirations for peace.
You are invited to join the exciting effort to bring the taste and essence of Palestine to North Americans so that we can finally begin to truly understand the roots and solutions to the situation.

The internet has become a major part of our lives, and it seems like we're only half a person whenever we're not connected to it. Almost all of our daily activities consist of using the internet: checking e-mails for work, purchasing goods at online stores, banking transactions, and so much more. One of the ways to optimize your web usage is to use a VPN.
You might think that web proxies and a software that hides IP addresses are better, but using a VPN whether at work or at home has many other advantages. So if you find yourself asking "Why do I need a VPN?" read on below.
VPN in A Nutshell
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a group of computers which are networked together through the internet. It provides the users a secure private connection even if they are remote and not physically on the same local area network (LAN). The data that you're sending and receiving are encrypted to make sure that nobody can intercept it and use it fraudulently.
Using a VPN has many advantages aside from securing your data. VPNs are fast and reliable – you can access it any time you want even if you're in a remote location. The bandwidth and network efficiency are also improved with a VPN solution. You can also browse the web in complete anonymity, and the maintenance cost for a VPN network is considerably low.
Why Use A VPN?
- It ensures your security. Whether you're a businessman who wants to keep your data safe from intruders, or just simply an employee who wants to protect your online accounts, a VPN encrypts your data so that anyone who tries to intercept it won't be able to read it.
Whenever you connect to an untrusted network, such as a coffee shop's Wi-Fi, you're putting your data in a potential danger. This means that checking your email, typing in your bank account details, or logging in to your social media accounts could put you at risk for hacking and identity theft. Using a VPN secures all the information that you enter from your devices to keep it away from prying eyes.
- It enables you to access resources anywhere. Some users might think twice about why they should use a VPN. VPNs are extremely beneficial to students, employers, and their employees. A VPN connects remote computers together through the internet, providing a reliable way of sharing information and resources even when the computers are extremely far from each other.
Using a VPN helps you become more productive because you can take your work with you wherever you go. Whether you're traveling to another country or simply staying at home, you can access resources anywhere you are at any time you want.
- It helps you save money and time. If you're employed and your office is too far from your home, using a VPN can actually help you save money and time from traveling to work every day. The time you spend on traveling can be allocated to other important activities – another productivity tip.
Using VPN for work is very convenient for you because you can communicate with your colleagues and do your tasks at the comfort of your own home. Many businesses have been using VPNs in their virtual workplaces because of its convenience, practicality, and security advantages.
- It lets you download online safely. Many people use a VPN when downloading from BitTorrent to protect themselves from charges against illegal downloading. Some users also use a VPN even if they are legally downloading, to hide their usage and to keep hackers from snooping in on their downloaded files.
While using a VPN may hide your usage, be sure that the service you're using is reliable. Some VPN services will keep logs off all your activity, then sell it to those who will ask for it. Others will log in your usage and make it available to anyone else, so it's best to do your research on which VPN services take their user's privacy seriously. Always read their privacy policy first, and make sure that they don't keep logs.
- It bypasses geo-restrictions. You've most likely experienced the agony of wanting to watch the coverage of your favorite football game or foreign TV show in real time, then having to watch the replay or another country's version of the show because it is location-restricted. This is one of the reasons why many users resort to using a VPN.
The VPN bypasses country restrictions which allows you to watch TV shows as they air or download apps which are otherwise unavailable in your location. To do this, the VPN bluffs your IP address – including the apps on your computer and phone – which changes your location. This makes downloading and streaming more convenient for users around the globe.

Economic Overview
Towards a modest improvement
Real GDP grew by +2% in 2016. Exports growth continued to disappoint. Domestic demand was the main driver, supported by a strong fiscal policy.
In 2017, EH expects economic activity to somewhat accelerate (+2.5%) but remain well below the 10-year average (+5.5%, 2006-15). A gradual improvement in exports should be sustained by higher global demand. Reflation could bring some relief to turnovers and translate into a positive investment cycle.
Fiscal policy will remain flexible and supportive as it aims to address short-term challenges (limited export opportunities) and build strong foundations for the longer term (through innovation efforts, e.g.).
Short-term risks lie in a more protectionist US, weaker-than-expected demand growth in China and a tightening of global financial conditions. Insolvencies are forecast to increase by +12% in 2017.
The central bank will maintain its prudent and neutral policy stance. Core inflation is set to pick up. Yet it would remain at a reasonable level (1 to 2%) limited by soft labor market conditions. Economic growth is improving and should be within the government's target range of 1 to 3%.
Singaporean public finances remain sound and proactively supportive. The reduction of the fiscal space (general government balance went from 8.7% in 2011 to 2.4% in 2016) reflects to some extent the state's involvement to steer growth in a much-altered environment. The 2017 fiscal budget, based on the recommendations of the Committee on the Future Economy (CFE), will be expansionary. It aims to support households and sectors such as construction and marine transportation. The government intends to offer corporate and personal tax rebates and launch public infrastructure projects.
As a strategic trade and financial hub, the city state is highly vulnerable to external shocks.
However, a solid external position provides a much needed cushion. Singapore has a sizeable current account surplus (more than 15% GDP), significant reserves (more than 6 months of goods imports) and a strong net international investment position. Constant efforts to boost innovation, improve logistic infrastructures, and strengthen business environment are helpful to the cause. Moreover, strong regulatory and monetary policy frameworks reduce currency and financial risks.

Michelle Starbuck's Favorite Spots to Find Materials for DIY Jewelry
BY: Sarah Gouda | Apr 5, 2013
Michelle Starbuck can turn trash into treasure. The Chicago-based designer of Michelle Starbuck Designs uses discarded and vintage charms as the base for much of her understated, graceful jewelry, which she began making nine years ago. It all started with a necklace she fashioned for herself out of broken bits of jewelry. At the time, she was just messing around, but after several strangers tried to buy it off her, she looked into launching her own line. Her aesthetic, which she describes as equal parts organic and geometric, is most often inspired by things she finds in Chicago's flea markets and thrift stores. If you find yourself bitten by the upcycling bug, check out some of Michelle's favorite spots to forage for jewelry and other fashionable finds. Village Discount Outlet in Roscoe Village This is my favorite location out of all of the Village Discounts in the city. It's relatively clean and organized, and it seems like the good stuff is always just waiting for me. I like to go here to look for displays, but I usually find a cool purse and some jewelry, too. Wolff's Flea Market at Allstate Arena Wolff's Flea Market runs on Saturdays and Sundays from spring to late fall. There are always a few good vintage jewelry vendors to buy from. I love making a pile of necklaces and asking if they'll take $5 or $10 for it. It usually works. Wolff's isn't a cool kind of market, so it's always good to dress down when you go, otherwise you won't get any good deals. The All Night Flea Market in Wheaton, Illinois The All Night Flea Market happens once a year at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton, Illinois. My best find at this market was a box of vintage hinge-cuff bracelets and blank cabochons. The best part is wandering around the flea market at night with flashlights. It's like digging for treasures in a secret attic. Family Thrift in Little Village Until recently I lived on the west side of Pilsen, which is very different from east Pilsen—there aren't hip thrift stores popping up on every block. So when Family Thrift opened, I figured it was worth a look. I don't think I've ever found jewelry there, but I've always managed to find really cute clothes and vintage housewares. It's worth the trip if you're ever in the neighborhood.

Yesterday it was the celebration of shopVIP's 1000th sale. An event like that can't pass us all inconspicuous. NO! It needs to be celebrated.. BIG! And big it was, indeed. The feast was held in one of the most exclusive locations Amsterdam has to offer; the Amstel hotel (super cool fun fact: Lady Gaga was there at the exact moment, so close, so close).
ShopVIP is a closed online community, which has been founded in 2008. So in the last 4 year, 999 sales have passed the review! Do the math; 999 sales in 48 months. That's a little over 20 sales a month, insane right?! During their sales, clothes, shoes, and everything in between, from brands such as Patricia Pepe and Missoni, were sold; with discounts up till 70%! Oh how I love to pamper myself, with these wallet-friendly A-brand goodies.
I really had a great time, and I must admit it was one of the best fashion events I've visited this year (and I'm not saying that because of the ginormous goodiebag they gave us all afterwards, but it def helped a bit ;-). Here are some of the pictures I took yesterday.

Kiki Jenkins, born 1976, is a character in the HD Universe and a 32-year-old datable character in Grand Theft Auto IV.
She is datable after the mission Out of the Closet (once Algonquin is unlocked) and can be contacted via under the alias Law Chick.
She lives on Feldspar St in Little Italy, Downtown Algonquin.
She works at the Goldberg, Ligner and Shyster law offices as a lawyer.
Kiki was born in a suburb "bored out of my mind" and moved to Liberty City.
Her parents are noticeably wealthy, having paid for her apartment, law degree, car and clothes.
She feels a certain guilt for this, both striving to make her own money and defend less fortunate people in court.
Her parents are also still a major influence over her, making her promise not to date any more of her clients.
She refuses to go to strip clubs and if Niko invites a prostitute in the car with Kiki, they will fight (though this is quite understandable).

On Monday, the group - known as Citizens for Constitutional Freedom, the #TaliBanjo or Y'all Qaeda, depending on who's doing the talking -- sent out a social media plea for snacks to sustain them through their wait-and-see standoff with law enforcement.
On Reddit, people are already preparing care packages for the long eastern Oregon winter. However, the suggested treats, including glitter, diapers and baby food, may not to be the militants' liking.
That's sweet. But these dudes are hungry.
So I've decided to put together my ultimate list of the best snacks to send to a self-styled militiaman from another state holed up in the middle of nowhere in your state.
Note: This is intended to be satire, with the hope that we can laugh about this whole crazy mess when it's over (and soon).
I'm assuming they have a sense of humor. I mean, they did decide to make their big stand against the government at a closed avifauna sanctuary that no one had heard of until this week. (Speaking of which, they better think up an exit plan before miffed bird watchers show up in the spring and take matters into their own hands.)
Of course, the skewering of the self-styled militiamen on the Internet seems to have no end. The latest parody meme takes on the "Daddy Swore an Oath" video posted by Jon Ritzheimer, whom Talking Points Memo describes as "the notorious anti-Muslim activist and one ringleader of the ongoing protest."
The KISS Army video is the best.

Quotes About Boil
Clinton is a big personality who has led a big life, and for some of the media conventional wisdom to boil it down to a view that 'all people are really interested in' are a few moments of madness in the Oval Office gets him, the importance of the presidency, and the significance of his life, all wrong.Send Quote

What is the big deal about Eminem? Since when is offensive language a reason for being unpopular? I like the fact that Eminem is brash and angry and politically incorrect. At least he has an opinion. He's stirring things up. He's provoking a discussion. He's making people's blood boil. He's reflecting what's going on in society right now. That is what art is supposed to do.Send Quote

The question is not what anybody deserves. The question is who is to take on the God-like role of deciding what everybody else deserves. You can talk about 'social justice' all you want.

Both Matilda and Lavender were enthralled. It was quite clear to them that they were at this moment standing in the presence of a master.

Christian is the man police say shouted racial epithets. As Christian walked into the courtroom he yelled out: "Free speech or die , Portland! ". We live in a country where the people who most feel like free speech is "under attack" are willing to violently attack people, while the people who actually use their words are attacked for them.

Labor day weekend was supposed to be dedicated to nothing but painting walls and finishing trim. However, hurricane Ivan brought nothing but hot, damp, humid weather our way making it impossible to paint. No big deal because I can always find something to do! So here's what I started with....
I picked up this crap-tastic dresser and vanity on craigslist for $30. Do you see a dresser overhaul like I do?
The very first thing I did was smash the hell out of the first two sections of drawers!!! It felt so good to just break something!
Next, I cut a custom piece of MDF to fit the dresser for a shelf. I also purchased bead board to fill in the back and sides of the dresser.
I have a half dozen gray shades of paint lying around the house so after priming the dresser, I put two coats of Behr Sparrow on the dresser followed by two coats of white. Once the paint dried, I went back over the edges of the white with sandpaper to distress it some.
I hated the original dresser pulls, even after painting them, so I attached a single pull I had left over from the kitchen island. I still have to fill the old holes and paint them but I couldn't wait to show my new playroom storage off!

Broken jaw, emaciated bearded dragon
Hi everyone,
Someone that used to work for me just brought me bearded dragon male (adult). It has a broken jaw and is severely under weight and under cooled. Ribs and spine very visible. He rescued it from their school (specializing in flora and fauna education). Apparently he lived in a tank with another male and three females. The tank was only 3 feet by 1.5 feet. They wanted to break his neck because he's to much trouble to take care of. My former worker asked if he could take him and he brought him straight to me. I've hydrated him by putting him in a warm water bath. I have him under a heat lamp and put some greens and wax worms in his feed bowl. Not sure though if he can eat. I have no information as to how long his jaw has been broken or how long he hasn't eaten. Of course I called my vet and I have an appointment later on tonight with him to evaluate the beardie. But is there anything else I can do for him now? Any help appreciated.

Broken jaw, emaciated bearded dragon
On top of the general supportive care you are providing you can give him an electrolyte solution like Pedialyte or Ringer's Lactated Solution. I made my own Ringer's solution (380 parts water, 11 parts sugar, 1 part salt, and 1 part baking soda) for my snake when it couldn't eat (it had mouth rot), and that helped keep its strength up. They also say you can mix meat baby food with water or Pedialyte to make a higher-energy drink.
Try feeding cooked meat first, as it is easily digestible. Feeding hard-to-digest, cellulose-rich foods could potentially make an extremely emaciated lizard die because it simply cannot digest the food in time. As it regains strength, you can swich it over to a normal diet by first providing some soft cooked vegetables and meats (this makes them easier to digest) and then gradually replacing the cooked food for some raw, crushed food and finally to a normal diet.
Hope this helps!

An Australian production company called the Woolshed Company spent the last two years creating videos with the intention of making them go viral. You may have seen some of these videos as they have garnered tens of millions of views and have had their authenticity debated by users in the comments.
One video featured a snowboarder outrunning a bear, while another featured a GoPro falling from a drone into the middle of the Burning Man dance floor.
A total of eight videos were made and now the company has admitted their fraud on their website.
"The content series was envisioned as a social experiment to explore the creation and distribution of 'new media,'" the company writes.
In a new video they made about the experiment, they ask the question, "How much of the news should we believe?"
Woolshed's videos duped a lot of the media and news shows. Their videos were seen in over 180 countries and viewed 205 million times of online.
"We set out to better understand exactly how to create short-form, highly sharable, 'snackable' content, that is capable of reaching worldwide mass audiences without the luxury of pricey media buys, ad campaigns, publicity strategies or distribution deals," the company writes.
If anything can be taken away from this experiment, it's that one should always question what they see. In a world filled with viral videos, it's hard to determine what is real and what's not.
Watch their explanation below!
Check out some of their fake viral videos!
