17 Strange & Interesting Inventions From The Past
The story 17 Strange & Interesting Inventions From The Past appeared first on StoryPick.
Evolution of human kind has always been an intriguing process. From the world of vacuum tubes to today's nanotechnology, the journey has been a great one. But, it's not like people in the early 19th century were not innovative. They had some of the most amazing inventions at that time. Let's have a look at some of the most amazing and strange inventions from the early 19th century:
1. One wheeled motorcycle, because 2 wheels are too mainstream
2. Cones to protect from snow storms and blizzards
Also it can protect from over-friendly creeps trying to kiss you.
3. Bicycle + sewing machine that can fit a whole family
A complete family ride
4. Special bicycle that can be used in land and in water
Maybe James Bond of that time used it
5. Hat with integrated radio
Before i-pod came along this was the real shit
6. Life jackets made from bicycle tubing
Plus you can also use them if ever your amphibious bicycle gets a flat tube.
7. Glasses that let you read while lying down
I've always wanted that.
10. Analog GPS
A cutting edge Navigation system from the past.
11. Contraption similar to hair dryer
Also to give you that I-drive-without-helmet-look.
12. Revolver that captures image before firing
I wonder if the shooter asked the person in front of the gun to smile.
13. Mouthpiece that allows a person to smoke in the rain
If you're out in the rain and you need a smoke.
14. Ice cube mask for hangovers
This mask was allegedly made for actresses to cure their hangovers. I want to know if it worked though.
15. Mouthpiece to hold 2 cigarettes
Sharing a cigarette with your loved one. How romantic!
16. Baby stroller devised to protect from gas
17. All Terrain Vehicle that stayed level and could negotiate upto 65 degrees
That looks really badass, doesn't it?
Bet you're wishing you could try all of them, aren't you?

Family Tradition
Arizona entrepreneur H.P. Anderson Sr. realized his lifelong dream in 1954. That was the year he founded Continental Security Guards, a full-service security agency that blossomed into an industry giant and a model for other agencies across the country. Until his retirement in 1991, Anderson was instrumental in raising the bar for Arizona's professional security industry.
Kimberly Anderson-Matich answered the same call her father had when she founded Anderson Security Agency, Ltd. in 1994. From early childhood, Matich had admired her father's professional dedication and felt determined to continue what he had started. Today, Anderson Security is on the front lines of private security with its combination of innovative solutions, integration of the latest technologies and, above all, top-quality personnel.
Going Beyond the Call of Duty
From her first day at Anderson Security's helm, Matich has set her sights far higher than the bare minimum. She has always surpassed industry standards, especially when it comes to the caliber and care of individuals assigned to protect her clients' interests. While the state of Arizona requires just eight hours of training for security officers, Anderson Security takes its personnel through a comprehensive, 72-hour course that encompasses a whole spectrum of security issues. The agency also offers highly competitive pay and employment benefits to attract top-tier candidates, all of whom are meticulously screened. Anderson Security's applicant review process is so stringent that only one in ten is invited to join its team.
Growing Stronger Every Year
Matich's resolute leadership style is rivaled only by her business savvy. Perhaps that's why she is now regarded as one of Arizona's top female executives, a revered self-starter who has seen her company grow at the rate of 25 percent per year, with 2004 sales projected to exceed $15 million.
According to Matich, Anderson Security's dramatic ascent is the product of its focus on exceptional quality. "The old image of the 'night watchman' just doesn't cut it in today's world," she says. "As the role of private security becomes more important in society, security agencies have to respond to this change in demand. Customers require more of their security officers than ever before — both in terms of quality and breadth of capabilities. As always, we are determined to meet these challenges."
Anderson Security Agency Ltd. is a world class, private security company offering:
- Custom security solutions
- On-site commercial security
- Gated community courtesy
- Emergency mobile command unit
- Mobile crime deterrent and surveillance unit ("Sky Watch")
- Uniformed security officers
- 72-hour academy training
- Workplace violence prevention
- Armed and unarmed personnel
- Bodyguards and executive protection
- 24-hour emergency service

Time to finally deploy Skype for Business has come, in this Tutorial we are going to be deploying the Skype for Business Server 2015 bits on the server.
So far in this series we have prepared the Active Directory, DNS infrastructure, deployed the Central Management Store (CMS), but the actual installation of Skype for Business bits hasn't occurred yet, and that is going to be the focus on this Tutorial, where we will be first installing the Local Configuration Store and then the Skype for Business Server 2015 bits on the server.
In the main page of Skype for Business Server 2015 deployment wizard, click on Install or Update Skype for Business Server System to start the process.
Installing the Local Configuration Store…
Before installing the server bits, we need to install the Local Configuration Store on the server, and even though our infrastructure is simple and it has on the same server the CMS (Central Management Store), the LCS (Local Configuration Store) is a requirement.
The Local Management Store will populate its settings from the CMS as part of the server deployment.
In order to install it, click on Run in the Step 1: Install Local Configuration Store section.
In the first page, leave default settings which is to retrieve the information from the Central Management Store, and click Next.
Note: If the Topology was not published or the current server is not there, then nothing will happen, and that is why is so important to prepare the Topology first.
The process may take a while, wait for the completion of the process and then click Finish.
How the local SQL instance deals with Local Configuration Store and Central management Store?
If you are asking yourself, how the Local/Central Management Store divide the local SQL Server installation when a single Standard Skype for Business Server is deployed, then this section is for you.
The figure below is right after the installation of the Central Management Store (CMS), and the result is a instance called RTC on the local server.
After installing the Local Configuration Store, then a new instance called RTCLOCAL will be created as follows.
Deploying Skype for Business Server 2015…
Time has finally come (I swear that is the last time that I say that), in order to deploy the server bits, click on Run located on the Step 2: Setup or Remove Skype for Business Server Components section.
In the initial page, just click Next.
In the Executing Commands page. It may take a while to process, and during the process we may need to deploy missing updates like the example below, make sure to copy the link location and click on Finish. After that make sure to satisfy all the requirements displayed on the windows and then repeat the steps.
If everything went okay, the results will be similar to the figure below, just click on Finish.
The results on the Deployment Wizard will be Step 1 and Step 2 completed (as shown in the figure below).
Are we ready to start using it? Well, the answer is no, we still need to work on the certificates which is the topic of Tomorrow's Tutorial. Stay tuned!

Bead Embroidery Expert Sherry Serafini
There are some people whose personality and talents align to flourish into a fantastic career. Sherry Serafini is one of those people. Her free, creative approach to bead embroidery is what draws people like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Grammy winner Melissa Etheridge to seek out and wear her whimsical jewelry designs. And her fine craftsmanship and wonderful teaching style are what compels the thousands of students she has taught over the years to call her their favorite teacher. For all these reasons and more, we are excited to announce Sherry as our Artist of the Month in November!
It was a great honor to have Sherry visit the F+W Video Studio recently. Sherry shot 4 videos with us, but between times I got to ask her a few questions:
Q: You are a celebrated, international instructor… How was it to be in the studio with just a camera?
A: I was a nervous wreck at first. I am so used to having smiling faces in front of me, so one camera focused on me was weird! I wasn't sure how to approach a situation where there wouldn't be people asking me questions. But I got into it after they told me to be myself. The video staff made it fun!
Q: You have dozens of step-outs and finished pieces in these videos. You must have spent months preparing! What was that like?
A: I did spend almost a year of preparation. It looks so quick and easy on film, but you have to mentally prepare and analyze what the viewers will be thinking and seeing. Then comes the physical prepping with a million step outs!
Q: What excites you the most in the bead world right now?
A: I'm excited about watching techniques being combined. The basics are being wonderfully challenged with new materials and applications. All the new shaped beads are allowing endless possibilities as well. I'm excited, too, that I've been able to collaborate with some of the bead world's most amazing instructors to develop some creative approaches. Beading will never be boring!
Q: What's the next big thing for you?
A: I've been nose-diving into beads and fibers. I'm having a fabulous time in my studio with stacks of fiber and fabrics that I want to combine with beadwork. I've also gone back in time to my art school days when I minored in cartooning! I'm having fun taking some of my illustrations and making little resin cabochons to use as focals in the beadwork. AND I'm playing with more textured pieces using shaped beads! My studio is a train wreck right now as I have soooooo many projects going on! Can we make time stand still for a while?
Excited as I am to dive into Sherry's world? Be sure to purchase her collection with all 4 videos included, Bead Embroidery: Four Great Lessons with Sherry Serafini. I got to take a sneak peek at them, so know they are priceless, filled with Sherry's great tips and techniques and delivered in her fun, approachable style.
Happy beading!

Keep Your Edge
Have you ever been in the market for a new home? Even first-time home shoppers are familiar with the two main cycles of real estate: buyer's markets and seller's markets. The pendulum seems to constantly swing between these two extremes, each offering potential challenges and advantages to either those seeking a new home, or those trying to sell theirs.
The same holds true for the recruiting market; there are employer's markets and candidate markets, depending upon several factors. Right now, America is in the middle of a candidate's market; there are far more organizations with open positions than there are qualified candidates to fill them. This means that candidates are more than ever in the driver's seat in these relationships; with a bevy of options for them to choose from, an organization must work harder than ever to differentiate themselves and gain a candidate's interest in trust. The candidate experience provided throughout the recruiting process must be unparalleled.
Think your candidate experience could use a few tweaks? Try these four quick fixes to better engage and delight talented candidates:
Make Candidate Discovery Easier:
Candidates are taking control over nearly every step in the recruiting process, including actively seeking out opportunities and evaluating company and opportunity fits. Make it easier for your desired candidates to find this information to accurately gauge whether they want to pursue a relationship with your company. Create an engaging career page on your website that accurately describes your company's mission, values, culture, and job opportunities. Make sure you show as well as tell; photos, videos, and video interviews with executives and current employees are great tools to help candidates get a full picture of what it is like to work for your company. Additionally, use these videos and photos on your LinkedIn profiles and other digital properties that you want candidates to visit.
Hold Pre-Interviews to Save Candidate and Hiring Manager Time:
When it comes to recruiting, speed is everything. It takes the average organization 25 work days to fill an open position; in this candidate-driven market, 25 days is too long for a highly-desired candidate. Speed up your recruiting with brief, informal interviews to quickly vet whether this candidate is a good organizational and positional fit to save both hiring manager time and to speed up first contact for the prospect. Even recorded video questionnaires can help you quickly evaluate whether you want to move forward with a candidate, which saves the hiring manager time, and offers a quick decision for candidates so they know whether to move on or to invest more time in your organization's process.
Nurture Relationships with Current and Future Candidates:
Some candidates might be great organizational fits, but not the right fit for the open position you're actively recruiting for. Creating talent pools of pre-vetted candidates can make your recruiters more productive, but in order to use these pools effectively, you must actively communicate and nurture these "not right now" candidates. Create a talent community, or dedicated nurture communication paths to keep in touch with these candidates, and keep them interested in your organization for a later opportunity.
Check Your Candidate Communication:
Effective, proactive communication is an important element throughout the entire employee lifecycle, but is critically important when working with a job candidate. Actively update the candidate at every stage of the recruiting process; often, you can set up triggered, automated messages when candidates reach certain stages or complete specific actions. However, if you have bad news, deliver it over the phone. If candidates took the time to come in to your organization to interview, then it is worth your time to pick up the phone and tell them that they aren't advancing. Remember, candidates now have more power than ever to share their candidate experiences with other job seekers; use every opportunity at your disposal to make a positive, lasting impression on candidates.
These are just four small ways that you can effect a candidate's experience with your hiring organization for the better. Learn more about creating a positive experience with our exhaustive guide.

General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) said today it will spend $600 million to build the largest thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solar panel factory in the U.S. and that 60 megawatts (MW) of the facility's 400 MW total annual capacity has been contracted to NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE: NEE). The company did not disclose the proposed location of the plant. GE also said that a full-size, thin film solar panel developed by the company has been independently certified as the most efficient ever publicly reported for the technology.
The panel was produced by PrimeStar Solar, Inc., a thin film solar technology company in Arvada, Colorado, acquired by GE.
PrimeStar Solar is bringing to market the latest thin film PV module technology
PrimeStar Solar's product will be a 60 cm x 120 cm frameless glass-glass photovoltaic (PV) module that is optimized for use in large scale grid connected installations.
- The modules will undergo rigorous safety and reliability testing to achieve the following certifications:
- TUV Safety Class II
- CE Mark
- The frameless modules are designed to withstand weather extremes such as snow, hail, and wind while being more cost effective than traditional framed modules
- The modules have a robust glass-glass laminate design that will stand up to climate extremes of temperature, humidity, and UV
- The thin film semiconductor technology performs well in high temperature and low light situations
- The modules will be well suited for both rooftop and ground mounted applications
- The modules have been designed for recyclability at the end of their useful life
- PrimeStar Solar PV modules will be manufactured on highly automated continuous flow lines to achieve high yields while minimizing manufacturing costs READ MORE
GE says the panel was measured by the National Renewable Energy Lab at a 12.8% aperture area efficiency. This panel surpasses all previously published records for CdTe (cadmium telluride) thin film, which is the most affordable solar technology in the industry. GE says its goal is to offer advanced solar products while reducing the total cost of electricity for utilities and consumers. The company says a 1% increase in efficiency is equal to an approximate 10% decrease in system cost.
GE says global demand for photovoltaics is expected to grow by 75,000 MW over the next five years, with utility-scale solar power plants making up a significant part of that growth.
NextEra claims to be the largest generator of renewable energy in the U.S. NextEra (formerly FPL Group, Inc.) has power generation capacity of 42,678 MW, comprised of natural gas, 59%; wind, 17.7%; nuclear, 12.9%; oil, 7%; coal, 2.2%; hydro, 0.8%; and solar 0.4%. NextEra's solar capacity now stands at 173 MW.
GE also said it has signed a 20 MW agreement with Chicago-based Invenergy Wind LLC for the supply of thin film solar panels and GE Brilliance inverters. Invenergy will install the solar products at a project site in Illinois. Invenergy claims to be nation's largest independent wind power generation company, with more than 2,200 MW of capacity. Overall, Invenergy and its affiliated companies have developed and placed in service 20 wind farms and five natural gas-fueled generating facilities (total capacity of 5,000 MW).

The 90s are back!
You may have noticed, the 90's fashion are back, in a major way. Few of the 90s trends we have been seeing lately are crop tops, knee highs, overalls, and now velvet. I'm an 80's baby, grew up in the 90s and I remember these trends like it were yesterday. My personal style definitely had a few of these trendy styles from back in the day. Velvet is making a comeback this season, it's super-soft and cozy, making it the perfect go to this winter. Here are some fun ways to incorporate this texture trend into your personal style.
If you want to wear velvet, but prefer a subtle statement, try a pair of shoes.
Mixing Textures
I love mixing textures. Trying velvet leggings with a long ribbed or knit sweater.
A velvet pant is a great alternative to jeans and corduroys. Especially with the holidays right around the corner, this is the perfect texture that will jazz up your outfit.
Give your work outfit some personality without overdoing it. A velvet blazer will do the trick.
A velvet dress really stands out on it's own, but you can add a statement necklace to be more fancy.
Pair a pretty velvet t-shirt with boyfriend jeans and heels for a seriously cool outfit.
If you need guidance with reinventing your wardrobe, head to www.openstile.com and book a FREE personal style session, curated outfits waiting for you upon your arrival. Personal style for the everyday woman. Happy styling!

"Copyright" is a legal term used to allow a creator the right retain ownership and receive credit for their written work. Copyright law allows a creator to obtain a copyright for their written work and determines if the specific idea may be adapted to other forms. Copyright law also determines who may reap financial benefits from the creation. Initially, copyright was a governmental restriction to control printing while giving authors the advantage to profit from their creations. Now, copyright law protects the creative work for creators.
Copyright Registration
Many individuals choose to obtain copyright protection prior to marketing creations such as: transcripts, computer software, songs or other creative expressions. Copyright lawyers at Winter LLP specialize in copyright protection and are equipped to complete any copyright task. Whether the creation is expressed in visual art, sound recordings, literary work or web design, the copyright lawyers ensure expert registration services for the exclusive copyrights of their clients.
Copyright Advantages
Individuals who are in the field of creative art are required to submit a copyright application in three month intervals to maintain and preserve their rights for any newly created expressions. For instance, if updates are performed on text or graphics within a web-page, attorneys highly advise the submission of a copyright application for derivative work within three months of the update. If copyright applications are not submitted on the newly updated material, individuals may lose their statutory rights to protect that particular portion of their creative material.
Statutory Damage Rights
Intentional copyright infringements of up to $150,000 in addition to attorney fees may be rewarded to those individuals who may have been affected with copyright damages. Legal claims may not be filed prior to the opposing party filing a copyright registration to prove the ownership of the disputed material.
Maintain and Control Creative Expressions
If a certain individual copies and passes off the work of another, it becomes the responsibility of the original creator to show proof that they were the first to create the work. A simple way to protect the rights of original creations, is to properly register the creative ideas with the "Copyright Office of the Library of Congress". Upon registration, the rights of an original expression becomes automatically protected. Registered rights include: original expressions, expression copies, original work updates, copy distribution rights, public performance rights for dramas, musicals, choreography, movie production and digital sound transmissions. A copyright application must be submitted prior to the sale, lease, or public display of the creation within a three month time frame from the original publication.
Copyright Lawyer Services
Winter LLP copyright lawyers offer the best protection advice for their creative expressionists while reviewing and and obtaining the necessary documents prior to the submission of copyright applications. The experts will also prepare any agreements that an original creator has with others giving permission to market their creations. Copyright lawyers specialize in the drafting of detailed licensed contracts. Copyright laws in the United States protect only within the United States, whereas "international copyright" protects authors worldwide. Copyright attorneys at Winter LLP provide valuable advice to ensure the proper market choice for their clients.

Politics & Government
Capps faces growing field of challengers in congressional race
Dale Francisco, a Republican serving his second term on the Santa Barbara City Council, is the latest candidate to announce he will challenge incumbent Democrat Lois Capps in 2014 for the 24th District congressional seat.
Francisco, 60, filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission on Nov. 12. Known as a staunch conservative, he has a background in computer networking and also as an engineer working for corporations such as Cisco Systems.
"Everybody realizes that our country is in serious trouble," Francisco said. "We've got debt and spending issues that are unimaginable at the federal and state levels but it is the most dangerous at the federal level."
Francisco said he wants to limit the federal government's involvement in healthcare, among other things. "We've had five years of a terrible economy and I don't see it getting any better," Francisco said. "Neither the president nor Capps have any idea of how to do anything about that."
Capps, serving her seventh term in Congress, will fight to keep her longtime seat in the House of Representatives. She solidly beat Republican challenger Abel Maldonado in November 2012.
Paul Coyne, 50, is the only Democrat so far to challenge Capps. Coyne, from Santa Maria, has launched a campaign against Capps that points out differences between them including his opposition to abortion and gay marriage. A graduate of West Point, Coyne had an extensive career in the grocery industry and later in sales and management in the banking industry.
Coyne's political platform includes reducing the debt, balancing the budget, enacting congressional term limits, preserving Social Security and Medicare and reducing military spending.
Justin Fareed, a Republican from Santa Barbara, also filed a statement of candidacy indicating his intent to run. Fareed, a recent UCLA graduate, is a former congressional aide for Congressman Ed Whitefield of Kentucky and is vice president of his family's business, Pro Band Sports Industries.
Fareed, 25, said he's running to stop the "reckless" fiscal behavior of Congress that particularly impacts his generation through an imbalance in spending and revenues and a growing debt. "Congress must come together to create solutions that achieve fiscal sustainability and generational equity," he said.
Chris Mitchum, 70, a self-professed Tea Party candidate who challenged Capps in 2012 but lost in the primary to Abel Maldonado, is also gearing up to run again. Mitchum, from Santa Barbara, is an actor and the son of the late actor Robert Mitchum.
He said he will run on the same platform as he did in the past but plans to run a stronger campaign by raising more money. Mitchum advocates repealing the Affordable Care Act, limiting regulations on businesses and stopping new taxes.

The left was looking for Comey to take down Trump today. They may have got the opposite. James Comey suspects Loretta Lynch was working with the Clinton campaign.
Remember, James Comey reported to Attorney General Loretta Lynch. While the FBI was looking into Hillary's Clinton's private email server, Lynch told Comey not to refer to it as an investigation.
"She said just call it a matter," Comey said during today's testimony. "That concerned me because that language tracked how the campaign was talking about the FBI's work."
Then Comey took things a step further. When he learned of Lynch meeting Bill Clinton on the tarmac, he decided to go against what she asked of him and make the news of the investigation public.
"In an ultimately conclusive way, that was the thing that capped it for me," Comey said during his testimony. "That I had to do something separately to protect the credibility of the investigation, which meant both the FBI and the Justice Department."
Watch the video to see Comey's remarks with regards to Lynch.
Comey Suspects Lynch Was Working With the Clinton Campaign
Liberals like to attack President Trump for obstruction of justice. This information makes it much more clear that Loretta Lynch is the one who may be guilty of obstruction of justice. What do they have on Trump? That he simply "hoped" that Comey would drop the Flynn investigation? That's nothing.

About 60 northwest area residents recently spent an evening in the city's police station.
The charge -- concern for their neighborhood.
About every three months, Capt. Ron Bailey, District 2 commander, calls the neighborhood meeting at the police station to update residents on what the police are doing to eliminate crime and listen to their concerns.
"We're not trying to tell people what we're going to do for them or what they need," Bailey said. "We tell them what we have been doing and ask what we can do to do it better."
Bailey said the burglary, prostitution and narcotics problems that have plagued the northwest area still exist, but have been lessened since he last met with the neighbors in October.
He said three police officers were taken off road patrol and now work strictly on eliminating prostitution in the area, particularly along Northwest Sixth Street.
Bailey said the residents want more police patrols in their neighborhoods, but "there's more area than there are policemen to cover it."
He said residents are also concerned about the lack of jail space in the city.
One northwest resident told his neighbors that three convictions are required before a person, charged with committing a residential burglary, is jailed because of the lack of jail space.
Bailey described the meeting as cordial and informative and said, "The strongest and most responsible people we deal with are in the homeowner associations. They live in the city and pay taxes in the city."

New Moon Phase: begin, intend
Moon in Taurus
Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Tara, Goddess Who Guides
Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East
Skill: aim high; maintain sight; attend to wisdom
True Alignments: opening the heart, doors opening, independence, opportunities presented, cravings, things entering a new phase, inner wisdom. family heritage, protection and guardianship, the end of empire, entering higher realms, practicality, idealistic, beautiful representations, decorative, celebration, immaculate, real, mission, removing what is holding us back
Catalysts for Change: feeling one is responsible for everything, pretending to be happy, showing off (especially things that are superficial), control issues, conflicts, battles, blaming the bearer of bad news, losing sight or giving in to defeatism, uncompromising, worry, denial of self, disconnection, issues of self worth, seeking approval, arrogance, shows of strength that are not solid, waiting around
Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (the might of light)
Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending issues, old paradigms)
Welcome to the New Moon in Taurus!
The New Moon occurs at 3:30 pm ET/7:30 pm UT at the degree of the Sabian symbol (archetypal energetic frequency) of "a symbolic battle between swords and torches."
At the highest level, this energetic involves the resolution of dualities, dichotomies, struggles, conflicts, disparities, practicalities, and realities.
At the lowest level, this energetic involves degradation through methods or issues of control, force, loss of free speech, irrationality, and conquering via division.
The word "symbolic" is key. The full effect, impact, or influence of what occurs over the next month may not be entirely visible or understood until the very end of February and through most of March 2017.
What happens this month happens primarily at higher levels of consciousness. It fully manifests by the end of this solar-lunar year, specifically the Pisces lunar month. The Sabian symbol for the Pisces lunation is "the race begins: intent on outdistancing his rivals, a jockey spurs his horse to great speed."
This month, starting today, the "race" actually begins. It's just that it is happening at places of a wider light spectrum than our collective one.
The "visible" manifestation in our world (the place on the light spectrum from which most of humanity is seeing) happens in March.
Few are in the know. Wise owls are among them.
We understand that we are participating, by proxy, in a collaboration with higher forces of Spirit to rectify and restore balance, sanity, and liberty to humanity.
We have one primary mission in the "battlefield" of consciousness this month: maintain sight.
This could also be worded as "don't lose sight, " but the positive affirmation is always best.
So last lunar cycle, the first cycle of the natural year (as calculated by the cycles of the Sun and Moon), we set intentions and imprinted the "field" with our hopes, wishes, and dreams for ourselves and for the fellowship of humanity.
This lunar cycle, which begins today, we hold the line with those intentions. We maintain our high aim. We do not lose sight of what we are doing: adding our awareness to what is going on so that the Hundredth (Billionth?) Monkey Effect can take hold and take humanity out of the land of being unhappy drones.
Keep in mind, we have already won this battle and this war. We are now playing it out. We witness the freeing of the human mind, body, and spirit. We attend to Wisdom.
Truly, the readers of Oracle Report, the Parliament of Wise Owls, are attendants to Wisdom. We wish To Know.
The Aeon Sophia wishes to teach us, and joyfully welcomes our participation in the Second Renaissance.
Today, we join forces with torches (of enlightenment).
Audio report to detail the above is on its way for listening this weekend.
Happy New Moon, everyone! Let's do the New Moon thing and envision. Let's envision our wise owl wings joined together all over the world in a big huddle-hug with Gaia Sophia.

SAYNER, Wis. — Two Republican state senators lost their seats in recall elections around Wisconsin on Tuesday, but Republicans maintained their control of the State Senate, ultimately handing a defeat to union groups and Democrats who had spent months and millions of dollars trying to wrestle away at least some of the state's political power.
The outcome was seen as a victory for Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican whose move to curtail collective bargaining rights for public workers this year set off a firestorm of protests, then counterprotests and finally a summer of unprecedented recall efforts.

At my first meeting with my new group, the leader demonstrated Rag Quilts. I've always loved the look, and I've heard explanations of how to do them, but none of the explanations made it sound so easy as these ones.
I was excited. I went to the fabric shop and bought fabrics, as it turned out barely enough for a little 40″ x 40″ quilt. These rag quilts are easy, but fabric intensive.
I did not use batting, because this is Florida, and the quilts are flannel, but I think I may do a couple with batting for colder climates – it makes great use of leftover batting.
On these, I cut the squares 8.5 inches, used seams about 1″, and bought the special scissors our group leader recommended, Fons and Porter scissors specially designed for rag quilts. They are short blades, and very, very sharp. They make cutting the seams a breeze.
On the first quilt, the jungle quilt, I attached stars, again, very easy, as it also served as quilting, front, back and star. I echo quilted again once outside the star, and quilting is done, Wooo HOOOO!
Seams are to the front, and when all the pieces are together, you sew twice around the border, 1.25 inches in, so when you cut, you get a nice shaggy border. You clip all the inner seams, and then wash, which makes it go all fuzzy.
You don't have to use flannel. I have seen this done with hopsack weave cloth, with equally satisfactory results.
On the second quilt, a blue and white flannel, instead of applying stars, I varied block pieces, 1 strip 5″ x 8.5″, two pieces 5″ x 5″. I pieced the two 5×5'x, then attached them to the 5″ x 8.5″, so that the final blocks were 8.5 inches. I rotated blocks so they would all be different, sewed the blocks together and cut the seams and edges. I don't think it took half a day, start to finish, and I love the results.
These are SO easy! I've always loved the soft look the raggy edges give these quilts. I don't imagine they last as long as quilts from more closely woven fabrics, but they have a great soft look.

Mortgage-bond trustees rejected a part of JPMorgan Chase Co.'s $4.5 billion settlement offer over investor claims of faulty mortgages while accepting the deal for most of the transactions.
The accord is being declined by trustees for five of the 330 mortgage-bond deals and part of another, according to a notice posted online yesterday by trustees including Bank of New York Mellon Corp., Wells Fargo Co. and Deutsche Bank AG. A decision was delayed until Oct. 1 for part or all of 27 other transactions, according to the website.
The deadline for accepting the proposed settlement, which JPMorgan offered in November, had been pushed back several times.
"We believe the acceptance by the trustees of the overwhelming majority of the 330 trusts is a significant step toward finalizing the settlement," New York-based JPMorgan said in an emailed statement.
The lack of a more sweeping approval may leave the bank exposed to a larger payout. JPMorgan negotiated the proposed agreement with 21 institutional investors including BlackRock Inc. and Pacific Investment Management Co. in a bid to move past legal troubles tied in part to the housing crisis. The accord was announced the week before the largest U.S. bank agreed to a record $13 billion settlement with government agencies over faulty mortgage securities.
"Though the trustees sought and obtained an extension for a handful of trusts, we expect most of those trusts will also accept unless a group of investors comes forward to direct litigation, agree to pay for it, and also agrees to indemnify the trust against the lost value of this very beneficial settlement," Kathy Patrick, a lawyer at Gibbs Bruns LLP representing the investors who negotiated the deal, said in an emailed statement.
Spokesmen for the trustees either declined to comment or didn't return emails seeking comment.

Shark cam explains yo-yo swimming behavior
July 25th, 2011 | by Malamalama Staff | Published in Research News
Many open ocean fishes and sharks swim in a yo-yo pattern, repeatedly climbing and diving, but until recently, scientists weren't sure why.
Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology, Japanese National Institute of Polar Research and the University of Florida outfitted tiger sharks with digital still cameras and accelerometers, which recorded swimming speed, depth, temperature and acceleration as the sharks swam off the west coast of Hawaiʻi Island.
The sharks beat their tails almost continually as ascended and descended and rarely glided downwards, which ruled out a theory that they use yo-yo diving to conserve energy. However, bursts of speed during vertical movement were linked to camera images showing encounters with prey fish, leading the scientists to conclude that yo-yo diving is an effective strategy in the search for food across the sharks' large three-dimensional home ranges.
"These findings are exciting because they have given us unprecedented new insights into the behavior of these huge and difficult to study marine predators," explains HIMB Associate Researcher Carl Meyer, the lead U.S. scientist of the project. "We have only recently developed tools allowing us to directly measure the behavior in sufficient detail to understand what these animals are actually doing."

Credit card did not work at Encinitas Target, so....
"Nothing more than a mistake"
Eva Knott 1:52 p.m., Nov. 18
He was Alexander Woollcott (1887-1943). In his time more people may have admired, and feared, him than even knew about Alexander the Great. As drama critic for various newspapers, he was always the star of his reviews, praising and damning with ornate prose. He wrote "Shouts and Murmurs," a gossip column for The New Yorker, and his radio show on CBS, "The Town Crier," made him a national celebrity.
Woollcott was also a member of the famed Algonquin Club Round Table, where Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, George S. Kaufman and other wits exchanged barbs during 10-martini lunches.
One of Woollcott's most famous: Los Angeles is "seven suburbs in search of a city."
Of pianist Oscar Levant: "There's nothing wrong [with him] that a miracle can't fix."
Some critics said that of Woollcott: he was all style and no content - all siss, but no boom-bah - though he fostered the careers of others, including Harpo Marx.
To his credit, Woollcott took as well as he gave. And in 1939, George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart turned their comedic sights on the man who swore the Brandy Alexander was named for him.
Sheridan Whiteside (i.e. Woollcott) fractures his hip outside the home of Ernest Stanley, in small Mesalia, Ohio. He banishes the Stanley's upstairs and turns the library and living room into Command Central for, it would seem, world affairs.
The phone bill - $784 and counting - includes Gandhi (Whiteside calls him "Boo-boo"), Albert Schweitzer, and Walt Disney. Admiral Byrd sends four penguins from the South Pole. Super celebrities Beverly Carlton (Noel Coward) and Banjo (Harpo Marx) pay visits. And what follows is a three-act circus. Whiteside sits center-stage, stuck in a wooden wheelchair - a la FDR? - and holds court.
It's hard to imagine a current example of Woollcott (if it's Larry King, then how the mighty have fallen!). Maybe Bye Bye, Birdie when rock star Conrad Birdie (i.e. Elvis) goes to Sweet Apple, Ohio).
At the Coronado Playhouse, Phil Johnson lacks Woollcott's Epicurean girth. No matter. Johnson plays the curmudgeon with the requisite emotional size, gaudy verbal style, and some of the most deliciously smoldering slow-takes on record.
Johnson also suggests a heart deep beneath the bluster (as did Woollcott, who played Whiteside when the show toured).
Johnson's memorable performance isn't the only draw. Director Ruff Yeager does a knock-out cameo as suave-affected Beverly Carlton, and his swoon-singing of "What Am I to Do?"'s a hoot.
Kim Strassburger (Maggie Cutler, faithful factotum) and Frances Anita Rivera (self-dramatizing Lorraine Sheldon) flank Whiteside with calm reserve and acute melodrama. Rivera wears the classiest of Jeanne Reith's amazing collection of period costumes.
Performances among the large cast are a mite uneven, but Amy Dell (Ms. Preen, the nurse), Eric Poppick (harried Mr. Stanley), and Philip John (Dr. Bradley) keep the laughs going.
Matt Scott's wide, detailed set has appeal and the necessary sturdiness, since Kaufman and Hart were geniuses at running actors on and off with snappy entrance-/exit lines and stopwatch precision.
Hart has also written one of my absolutely favorite books about the theater. Every budding playwright should read his Act One - and everyone else who loves the living stage.
