Hey pallies, likes she's a French blogger chick who tags herself "la femme responsable de ce gâchis (the woman responsible for this mess)." The "mess" she is "responsible for" is the coolest of the cool blog, "The Killer Likes Candy...An obsession with nineteen sixties cool."
In her "obsession with" 1960's "cool," she has created an ultra ubber cool post puttin' the accent on our most beloved Dino in Helmer caper numero duo, my most fav of fav Matt Helm flicks, "Murder's Row." Her amazin' photo essay includes the movie poster featurin' our Dino and Miss Ann-Margret, 26-count-em-26 fabulous vid caps, and a flick trailer of MR to boot.
When I think of the time that this French blogger chick put into gettin' those vid caps captured and posted, I get such a Dino-high knowin' that she must truly be likes totally totally devoted to our amazin' man. Likes when I first put my eyes on this Dino-feast, likes I was totally totally blown away with this amazin' Dino-display of swingin' pixs from the secret swingin' agent Matt Helm.
This French chick blogger refers to her blog as "The Killer Likes Candy" and gotta 'fess up that I loves candy as well...'specially of the Dino-variety and likes this outstandin' Dino-post is the sweetest of the sweet Dino-treats..loaded like a box of assorted chocolates with lots and lots of Dino-treats.
ilovedinomartin sez our deepest of deepest Dino-thanks to Miss "woman responsible for this mess" and 'presses our likes total total Dino-delight in this massive Dino-pix reflection on "Murder's Row." To this view this in all it's original Dino-glory, likes just clicks on the tag of this Dino-scribin'. Dino-awed and Dino-delighted, DMP

Murderer's Row (1966)
Director: Henry Levin
Writers: Herbert Baker (screenplay), Donald Hamilton (novel)
Stars: Dean Martin, Ann-Margret and Karl Malden
Number two in the Matt Helm collection. A slightly toasty Dean Martin (are you surprised?) plays secret agent Matt Helm, the man with wacky gun, penchant for cocktails, and pretty ladies always by his side (or with a gun to his back). I love, love, love the crazy fashion in the Matt Helm films and I especially love miss Ann-Margret as the frantic gogo dancing "Helm Girl" in this film. She oozes adorable just as I'm sure Deano was oozing gin for sweat. The bad guy has a metal skull plate and Karl Malden is as wormy as ever the super bad bad guy. I want Matt Helms bar.

Mind matters: Overcoming mental health difficulties as a family
Experiencing mental health difficulties as a parent can be a challenge, but there are ways and means of overcoming it as a family.
The stigma around mental health issues has been tackled in recent years as more people have come out to talk about their experiences. But for a long time in Ireland, and still today, there has been an attitude that people should get up and get on with it, with a lack of empathy for those who suffer from mental health difficulties.
Yet, mental health problems are extremely common. Figures from the World Health Organisation in 2001 showed that up to one in four people will experience a mental health or neurological problem in their lifetime.
The continuing rise in suicides in this country, some of which are by parents, has highlighted the fact that more needs to be done.
In mid-June, Barnardos held a conference looking at this very issue. 'Patients. Parents. People.' called for integrated supports and services for families experiencing mental health difficulties.
According to CEO of Barnardos Fergus Finlay, while the agency isn't an expert in the field of mental health, in recent years it has come across more parents struggling with mental health conditions. He says that austerity and financial stress, as well as isolation in communities, has led to mental health breaking down.
Yet, despite this increasing trend, many parents will not come forward for help.
"One of the things [mental health difficulties] affects is your ability to be the parent you want to be. Now, that's a long way from saying if your health breaks down you should lose your children. [Parents] want help, they're looking for help, but they're terrified that if they acknowledge that they have any kind of mental health difficulty, the first thing that will be called into question is their parenting capacity. In fact what they need is support," he explains.
While some supports are available in Ireland, Finlay says they tend to be either aimed at individuals, based on age, or medicalised.
"The thing that tends to be forgotten is that if you have a mental health problem, and someone classifies you as a patient, you're still a parent. You're still a mum, you're still a dad. You still have all the issues going on at home that you want to get in touch with and on top of."
Barnardos is trying to raise awareness of the fact that people are much more than mere patients. "We'd like to see much more dialogue, much more inter-agency work, much more collaboration around the needs of the whole family. Families need to be included, they need to be involved."
Finlay says children want to be part of their parents' recovery. "They want to help, they want to support. It can be an intolerable burden to place on a child's shoulders to say you're responsible for your mum or dad's well-being. But it's an equally intolerable burden to say we're not going to tell you what's going on here. So we need to break down all those kinds of barriers."
For the child whose parent has depression or mental health difficulties, it can be the loneliest place in the world, says Finlay. But, he adds, it need not be. "If depression hits your household and mum or dad is really finding it very difficult…suddenly it seems as if [they] don't love you anymore. Suddenly it seems as if you can't talk to mum or dad. In many cases, the kids ask us 'is it something I did, is this my fault?'."
But how do you approach the topic of your mental health difficulty with your child? Clinical director with Aware Dr Claire Hayes says it is important for parents to talk to their children but recommends talking to another adult, whether that's a trusted friend, partner, GP or Aware advisor, before they do so.
"Children pick up on things. In terms of honesty [having the discussion] is important and can be a really good conversation to have, but it needs preparation.
"Don't put your child in a bubble. A parent who has depression can be a wonderful example for a child; they can show that things happen in life that can be pretty lousy but we can still choose to act in a helpful way."
Hayes cautions against googling advice sites for tips. "There are lots of websites, with headlines such as 'five things to say to your children', and I don't agree with any of them. My advice is step back from the situation and look at what you say to yourself about depression."
While you might want to apologise to your child for being who you are, Hayes says you should instead look at the strengths you display while parenting with a mental health condition.
"Some days it seems much easier to give up, but parents should look at the positives, that they have kept going, that they have stayed strong. Be honest with your child, talk to them about the facts that it's an illness or a condition, but don't approach it with more shame and apologies," she says.
Hayes suggests you explain to your child that sometimes you are too tired to go out with them or sometimes you might even sound cross but it's not them you are cross with. She says the discussion is an opportunity to explain to your child it's nobody's fault, least of all their fault, and to learn as a family how to do things differently.
It's also an opportunity to tell them they are still loved and that mental health issues can be treated.
Your child may ask if there is anything they can do to make you feel better. While you might say support from them is important, they are not responsible for making you feel better, stresses Hayes.
They may also want to know if they can get it, so explain to them that mental health difficulties or depression are like any other illness, you might get it but you might not, she advises. Because they know about it they are in a better place to deal with any issues they may encounter as they get older. By starting the conversation, you're already arming them with the tools to stay healthy.

Baths not only provide clean water to quench thirst, baths also help birds maintain their feathers. A good part of a bird's day is spent just cleaning and grooming their feathers by bathing, scratching, and preening. It's so important that it is often the first place parent birds bring their newly fledged babies.
Right now there are also lots of birds traveling thousands of miles between wintering grounds and nesting grounds that just need a place to stop.
As forests have been cleared for development, birds have to find
sanctuary in whatever forest, woodlot, or yard that is available when they
become too tired or encounter bad weather on their journey. And if they choose
your yard to stop over, hopefully you'll have fresh water, food, and shelter to
make their journey a little easier.
Come in to the Wild Birds Unlimited store in East Lansing
and Dolly can help you choose the best bath
I know in the next couple months I'll be seeing warblers, tanagers, buntings, and variety of other birds stopping at my water bath as well as visits from my regular cardinals, chickadees, and finches. Water will attract all species of birds. It's one of the easiest ways to bring birds up close, so the whole family can get a really good look and enjoy their beauty.
Tips for choosing a bird bath
Depth – I like a bath with a gradual dip to the middle no deeper than 2". If your bath is any deeper, it's nice to place a stone in the middle for the birds to make an easy escape.
Size – Baths can be any size. I have a very shallow tiny bath staked near the ground that the cardinal and goldfinches frequent and a large bath a little father away that the robins and doves prefer.
Appearance/Material – Wild Birds Unlimited - East Lansing stores have a variety of bird bath styles from glass, ceramic, metal and plastic. As long as the water is fresh and the birds feel safe, all the baths will attract birds.
Location – In nature water is usually found on the ground or perhaps pooled in the leaves of a plant after a rain. Birds will come to the water at any level, so place the bath where you can see it easily to enjoy the birds.
Water Movement - Moving water will attract birds and can minimize insects and algae growth. Adding a mister or water wiggler can be fun.
Maintenance – It is important to keep you bath clean. Make sure to have a good stiff brush to scrub you bath occasionally and I also add a specially formulated bird bath protector to the water to prevent organic contaminants from forming and keep the water clear. Everything is available at Wild Birds Unlimited - East Lansing store.

I'm a real beginner with the raspberry pi. I was getting it all up and running tonight and then realised I didn't have an F12 key on my keyboard. I've downloaded the keymap module into into !Boot.Resources.!System.350.Modules .
However, I don't understand the next step. Apparently I should add an obey file to load it in !Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk containing (for example):
keymap 2 12
keymap 10 15
to map F2 to represent F12 and F10 to represent the Break key.
What does 'add an obey file' mean? how do I do that?

Chevy's first all-electric mini car offers "plug and play"
The Bow Tie Team has just added the most efficient U.S. retail electric vehicle to their lineup - the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV, with an estimated electric EPA range of 82 miles. The MPGe fuel economy equivalent rating is 119 (128 city/109 highway or 28 kW hours per 100 miles). The Spark EV joins an electrifying portfolio including the Chevrolet Volt, along with the eAssist Malibu and Impala, in Chevrolet's quest for efficient sustainability.
The Spark EV is a sporty five-door hatch with room for four passengers. The overall shape is that of an exaggerated wedge. The EV is readily recognizable by its lack of exhaust and blocked-out upper grille sections - only a lower air inlet, flanked by two smaller, sculpted inlets appear at the front.
Power for the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV comes courtesy of a 105kWh permanent magnetic drive motor, with energy supplied by lithium-ion phosphate batteries in multiple linked modules that consist of 336 cells. The batteries weigh a total of 560 lbs and provide 140 hp, along with 400 lb ft of torque.
There is no conventional transmission, but rather a direct coaxial drive system with drive shafts off each side of the transversely mounted motor that transfers motive force to the front wheels. The Spark EV is capable of scooting from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 7.6 seconds.
The battery pack is mounted low beneath the rear seat floor, and its positioning results in a near 50/50 weight distribution (49/51). There is an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the direct oil-cooled motor and its components.
The Spark EV will be available in two levels of trim, 1LT and 2LT. Later in the production cycle, the 2LT will offer a DC Fast Charge hookup capable of an 80 percent recharge from a full discharge in roughly 20 minutes. The Spark EV may also be recharged on regular household current, which takes approximately approximately 13 hours to achieve a full charge.
Another 240V recharging system from Bosch Automotive Solutions may allow a full recharge in less than seven hours. Charging may be managed and monitored remotely using the Spark EV's smartphone application provided by OnStar, which is standard for three years. Interestingly, 38 percent of all EVs sold across the country are in California, with sales, rebates, infrastructure and designated parking providing a favorable climate for EV ownership.
Compared to the average conventionally powered vehicle, the Spark EV can potentially save its owners up to $9,000 in fuel costs over a five-year period, as well as lower maintenance expenses.
The starting price for the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV is $27,495 with a net price as low as $19,995 after a full federal tax credit of $7,500 and an additional rebate of $2,500 for California residents. Some counties and specific regions offer even further supplemental rebates or credits.
SUMMARY: Driving the Chevy Spark EV is a total hoot.
Punch the Sport button, and the power application amplifies dramatically. This doesn't do much for the fuel economy, but it definitely provides a much more fun and spirited experience behind the wheel.
Regenerative braking is standard and aids in replenishing the battery charge level, extending vehicle range. Even more regenerative braking benefit may be applied by selecting the low range in the shift panel for downhill runs.
The incredible 400 lb ft of torque delivers rapid and impressive acceleration, and the lower center of gravity and ideal weight distribution provide a flat, stable and comfortable ride quality.
There's also no need for an external or integrated navigation system, as the Android and iPhone phone application "Bring Go" is available, projecting directions on the MyLink screen.
The 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV is a great car for city driving. It combines technology, functionality and style in a visually pleasing package that's also great fun to drive.

"An evening at Mack McCormick's house in Spring Branch always has the same structure, if vastly different forms. First things first: drinks. At 78, the widower is not getting around like he used to, so he asks his guest to fetch them. In his freezer there are Tupperware bottles filled with precisely measured cocktails of McCormick's own mixing — margaritas, martinis, gin and tonics.
Gin in hand, he leans back in his easy chair, cane by his side, Post-it note-festooned books in easy reach all around him, beloved spaniel Charles at his feet, and the tales start spilling out of him, not as a torrent, but more like a mighty, bending river of lore.
He explains where he got that New Mexican wood-carving of San Rafael, the explicit Kama Sutra candle and the Inuit carving that are all nearby, and then he reminisces on the origins of the Alley Theatre, where he was a stagehand in the earliest days. Next he will swerve toward his travels on the trail of Delta blues phantom Robert Johnson (an endeavor which recently saw him discussed in a Vanity Fair feature; see "The Hoodoo Curse"), and then he'll switch back sharply through his chance meeting of Ted Williams in the Lamar Hotel coffee shop downtown in the late '40s. That story will veer into an account of his conversations with Tennessee Williams outside another playhouse on Main. Eventually he will end up back where he started, at the nascent Alley Theatre, which, as he can tell you by experience, really was once accessible only through an alley, and seated about 80 people."

"To He Who Meets The Challenge Of Life Bravely, Great Will Be His Reward"
Hanmer Springs is an alpine village that people flock to all year round.
The main tourist draw is the Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve – a swimming complex made up entirely from the natural thermal springs that bubble up from deep within the earth.
There are also separate play pools where the young (and the young at heart) can enjoy the waterfalls, animal slides and heated water slides without disturbing the peace and tranquility of the relaxation pools.
We decided to treat ourselves to the 'private thermal suite' because it was so reasonably priced and were delighted to discover that the suite overlooked a secluded native garden, contained their own shower, changing area and thermal pool with raised water massage spout.
And so we spent a delicious half hour splashing and enjoying the warm waters (anywhere from 38 to 42 degrees in temperature) and taking advantage of the space (each suite can accommodate up to 6 people).
The reserve is beautifully thought out and they have several open air relaxation pools where people group to move lazily around the water. But should you get tired, there are special seats built into the middle of the pool so you can rest your weary bones, allow the earth-heated water to caress your body and feast your eyes on the majestic alpine mountain landscape available in 360 degree surround vision. Aaah…..
After the pools we felt rested enough to undertake a stroll of the town.
It's so picturesque that it can't be faked. We had a discussion about what it would be like to grow up in a place like this because although it's a tourist town, the place is lively all year round and the locals get a discounted rate to the pools and there are enough mountains, farmland and ski fields to fill your every leisure time.
We figured that about the time you hit about 16, you would be desperate to get out and see the world because the place would feel a little isolated, but heck you would have had an idyllic childhood!
It was on our stroll that we came across the "Gold Rush" adventure mini golf course – possibly the best mini golf course in the world.
Since starting this trip, I have discovered a secret love for mini/crazy golf and we have checked out a few of them as we've moved about the place. But none of the previous places can touch the course at Hanmer. The surrounding landscape adds an edge of natural beauty that is surreal and (I believe) unsurpassed.
I was routinely distracted from my stroke by the relentless views available from each hole. The magnificence of the landscape made me forget why I was there in the first place and I kept holding up the people behind us.
But it didn't matter because they were suffering from the tree-hugging loved up feeling too! And so we went round the course at a leisurely pace, grinning from ear to ear – with me taking photos between shots – and feeling at one with the universe.
But the fun was not to end there. No, my fellow travellers, we were to be treated to the experience of "The Lost Temple" discovery challenge.
Basically, you walk round this maze-like structure and solve the puzzle by finding the clues within the fortress (which spell out the quote above).
Reading what I just wrote, I realise that it sounds rather naff, but it was really rather good. The owner had designed it really well and the thing was way bigger than it looked from the outside. It had a sort of Inca theme to the general design with a bit that looked straight out of the Indiana Jones films.
And then there were the "surprise" elements. Like the steam vents – which you can't see when you look at the wall – not even if you're really close up. I know this because I caught a good blow to the forehead when I was examining the wall intently trying to work out how it was done.
These helped focus our thoughts because you'd be going round a corner and suddenly this huge jet of air would blow straight in your ear – Auburn jumped so high that it made me jump. I went backwards just in time to receive a jet right jab into my throat (not funny, what with me having my neck thing) and so we stood between the jets and screamed like little girlies for a while. It happens sometimes, OK?
The cold and the force of these jets were not something you could get easily use to: as proven by the number of times that we were caught out by them as we went along the course. I did mention the Tardis proportions this place had, right?
But my favourite element was the collapsing wall: which decided to fall down just as Auburn was passing by.
We'd been in there for a while by then and had begun to relax our stride, enjoy the very hot sun shining down upon us and besides, we'd been there so long, we figured we were lost.
So we're trekking along and suddenly a voice from behind calls "Watch out!". We both spin round to see what's going on. Then a grinding noise in front has me spinning back round in time to see the wall beside Auburn start to fall down (she was a few steps ahead of me). She cowers in panic and raises her hands to protect her head and I leap forward like a plum with my arms extended in my best Netball receiving pose – like I seriously think I can catch a falling brick wall!: but everything happens so fast that you actually believe it. And the falling dust from the wall seemed very authentic to me!!!! *Insert more girlie screaming here.*
Yep, we felt a little bit foolish at that point.
The funny thing was that it got us again on the way back round. We'd followed the wrong path to a dead end and by the time we'd gone back on ourselves one wall looked just like any other and we'd forgotten the previous experience and BAM… *Cue more screaming girlies.*
My, but our lungs got a good working over that afternoon. But ho hum, we had fun and my tan is building up a treat. Just call me "dark-skinned lovely"…… 😀

Australia's High Court yesterday rejected a landmark lawsuit by two severely disabled people seeking compensation on the grounds that they should not have been born.
The judges found the two, Alexia Harriton, 25, and Keeden Waller, 5, did not have a right to mount the case against their mothers' doctors.
Harriton is blind, deaf, mentally retarded and needs 24-hour care because her mother contracted rubella during pregnancy, while Waller has permanent brain damage from a genetic disorder not picked up during prenatal screenings.
In the case termed a "wrongful life" suit, Harriton claimed her mother's doctor negligently failed to diagnose the rubella which occurred early in pregnancy or to advise there was a high risk the baby would suffer abnormalities.
Her mother, Olga Harriton, said she would have terminated the pregnancy had she received proper advice.
Keeden, a baby conceived through in-vitro fertilization, also claimed through his parents that his was a case of wrongful life after he inherited the clotting disorder AT3 from his father.
The boy was born with brain damage, suffers from cerebral palsy, has uncontrolled seizures and requires constant care.
His parents claimed that if they had been informed of the risk Keeden would be disabled, they would have deferred his conception until methods were available to counter the AT3 disorder.
The two families' cases were already dismissed by the New South Wales state Supreme Court and an appeals court.
By a six to one majority, the High Court judges upheld the earlier rulings that the doctors had not breached their duty of care. They found that comparing a life with "non-existence" for the purposes of proving actual damage was impossible.
Justice Susan Crennan said that while physical damage like a broken bone was something judges had experience in dealing with in terms of assessing a claimed loss, it was impossible to make an assessment between a disability and non-existence.
"There is no present field of human learning or discourse, including philosophy and theology, which would allow a person experiential access to non-existence, whether it is called pre-existence or afterlife," she said.
The one dissenting judge, Michael Kirby, said denying the existence of wrongful life actions created an immunity for health care providers whose negligence results in a person being born into a life of suffering.
"The law should not approve a course which would afford such an immunity and which would offer no legal deterrent to professional carelessness or even professional irresponsibility," he said.

This may or may not be a continuing series. It all depends how annoyed I get.
Here you'll find my rants about bad ads, and you will find my good advice on what to do to make them better.
Below are the first four ads I saw in my latest issue of Popular Science magazine that leave me speechless. Maybe, I haven't been paying attention or maybe I have, but seeing these ads I just had to say something.
The first one is for The Nissan Titan XD. Sounds like an extra-large undershirt to me. This ads tells me nothing about this truck. What a waste of space.
There's no headline with a clear benefit to me as a consumer. "Take on the night shift…" What does that mean? All it says is that these trucks were newly designed which tells me the old ones sucked. This ad doesn't make any claim that no other car or truck ad can make.
And the warranty is a joke. Do people actually pay attention to bumper-to-bumper warranties anymore? They're mentioned in every ad by every car manufacturer. You could take the content from this ad and place it on another ad.
Here's the real stupid thing. They made this ad a double page spread as if the size of the ad is going to make me want it more.
If you're going to spend the money on a two page spread, tell me something about the product. This is what many call "keeping the name before the people," and this phrase goes back to late twenties when John E. (not F.) Kennedy lamented about it.
The reason for advertising is to inform people about your product. If in two pages, all you can tell me about a $35,000 truck is that I "can take on the night shift" then you are a loser! And no use to me at all. NEXT!
Now let's look at another automobile—an ad that did extremely well in selling cars. It's a classic ad from David Ogilvy who was trained in direct response advertising:
First, it has a headline that no other car can claim. They own that. Chevy can't say that. Volkswagen can't say that. No one else can say:
"At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock."
The headline states the benefit clearly. And in the copy, there is loads of information listing the benefits of owning a Rolls-Royce.
The ad provides everything a consumer is looking for: The price, where to find more information about acquiring one of these gems. The Nissan ad above doesn't tell you anything. It's the equivalent of "Here's our truck—now go fuck yourself!"
Here is another meaningless ad that takes up two pages as if two pages was going to pique my interest more than just one page.
There no information about this television program. I know It's a TV program because I've seen it before, but had I not seen it before, I don't think I would have gotten that just from this ad.
The headline is awful:
"The future belongs to those who change it."
What does that mean? This headline could be applied to a hundred other TV programs. Planet of the Apes, X-Men, The Avengers, etc. etc.
Is this keeping the name before the people? They would have done much better with a quarter page ad with a direct call to action to go to Amazon Prime and get one month FREE (as they usually have those promotions).
I see the ad, and I say, "Huh?" What do you want me to do?
The ad should have a clear call to action, telling people to get a Roku, or Apple TV or a Google something or other, Get Amazon Prime and watch the show NOW.
This is exactly what MTV did back in the eighties. They TOLD people exactly what to do:
"I Want My MTV!"
And many other cable shows said similar things such as "Ask your local cable provider to carry this show."
This Man in the High Castle double page spread is clearly a waste of time and money—for all of us. And how do they measure the ads success? They cant. There is no way of knowing how effective this ad is.
Look, I know the difference between brand advertising and direct response advertising, but man in a castle is not a brand like Coke. And Coke has no benefits to speak of. A television show ad can provide lots of information that could appeal to people such as:
"It's 1962, America has lost WWII; the east is the Greater Nazi Reich and the west, the Japanese Pacific States. Amidst this oppression there is new hope – films that seem to show a different world."
Which is taken directly from the Amazon website. This provides a LOT more information than: "The future belongs to those who change it"
This was the third ad I saw in my issue of Popular Science magazine. Geico does fairly well despite their rather silly commercials. The problem is that all the other insurance companies have followed suit: Progressive, Farmer's, etc. This Geico ad in particular makes no sense to me and really off-putting. I love Buffalo wings just as much as the next guy, but seeing in this format (environment) makes me want to throw up.
These are the claims they are making:
- Helping people since 1936
- 24/7 Licensed agents
- 97% customer satisfaction
- 2nd largest auto insurer
These claims are meaningless.
- The Farmers Group of America has been helping people since 1928. So, in your face, Geico!
- Progressive also has 24/7 Customer Service, so no dice there, Geico.
- According to Property Casualt360, Geico comes in 8th place for customer satisfaction. Eat crow, Geico. http://www.propertycasualty360.com/2015/11/19/20-auto-insurance-companies-ranked-from-worst-to-b
- I don't even have to research and refute the second claim, because what's so great about being the SECOND largest? Take me to the largest auto insurer.
At the end of the day, I'm not trying to dispute facts that Geico is making. I'm trying to point out that in this two page spread, any other auto insurer can make the same (and even better) claims. This is a lackluster ad, and the copywriter and the agency should probably be shown the door. Unfortunately, this is what stands for advertising today as it did many, many years ago. Some things never change.
This ad took me a while to figure it out. As I write this I still I have no idea who the advertiser is. And by the way, the image isn't upside down. The ad is upside down in the magazine! You can see all the disclaimer info on the bottom of the ad. I hope it says something along the lines of: "We ran out of ideas for an ad, and we really, really hate you. So here. Have fun, jerk face!"
Nobody wants to play games. No one is going to be on the subway or waiting room and risk looking like an idiot by flipping the magazine around to read the stupid headline : "Go Waitless."
What does that mean anyway? I'll never find out because I'm NOT going to rotate the magazine to read the subhead.
And don't play word games either. What does weightless have to do with "waitless." This ad is so stupid it hurts to type about it.
Here's a big problem with a lot of advertisers who are selling their apps. I keep thinking it's an ad for a cell phone company. Does anyone else have that problem?
NOBODY likes to read ads. It's that simple. To counter this problem, advertisers mistakenly think that they need to spare the reader of a magazine a lot of reading—which is a ridiculous notion if you think about it. So, what do advertisers do? They make bigger images on more surface to tell us less about the product.
People want information. That's the only way they are going to make a decision as to whether your product is worth buying or not. You can never go wrong with providing your audience with information.
Follow David Ogilvy's example above.

Dream Act or No: I Will Still Dream On
December 17, 2010
Guest Opinion/Editorial:
By Adrian Ramirez
Ever since the first Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, or DREAM, Act was introduced in the U.S Senate on August 1, 2001, my hopes have been taken on a rollercoaster ride to new lows and highs—and the journey has left me very pessimistic. I don't believe that any true change that will come to immigration policy in the U.S., even now that the House has passed the DREAM Act.
I am in the same boat as millions of undocumented immigrants who call America home. I was brought here by my parents at the age of five in search of the American dream.
In 2002, I graduated from high school in San Jose, Calif., where I have survived as an undocumented American for more than 20 years. I went to community college to obtain my A.A. degree in graphic design. It was while doing this that the DREAM Act was most important to me. It seemed like a way to become a legal citizen, and my hopes hit a high. I knew I would meet all the requirements to be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship if the DREAM Act passed.
It made me want to work that much harder, and in no time, I finished my degree. The DREAM Act still had not passed, but promises of its passage were in the air. "Did you hear, they are going to pass the DREAM Act this year for sure!" my friends would tell me. And, of course, it didn't. Its passage was always promised, and its delay was always assured.
Why would I think that 2010 would be any different?
The way I look at it now, I don't need the DREAM Act to live my American dream. I have been living that dream for quite some time now. I am a husband to a wonderful U.S. born wife; I am an artist, a small business owner, a taxpayer, a community member as well as a dreamer. My dream has not been completely fulfilled, but I am not going to sit on my hands and wait for the rest to come to me. If the DREAM Act passes the Senate—which seems highly unlikely—it would better my chances of achieving my highest potential. But the DREAM Act is not the only option.
As immigrants, we have been prepared for struggle and obstacles. So what is one more dream deferred?
Even if the Act did become law, I am almost certain that undocumented people who don't qualify as DREAMers would have to pay the price for it. The ones who receive legal status will watch the rest who didn't face deportation.
So I ask myself this question: Would I want to be legal in this country if it means that my mother has to go back to Mexico? Would she make that great sacrifice to see my future brighten as an American? Sadly, I know she would, and her willingness makes me want to fight so that true, sensible, comprehensive immigration reform is passed for all, not just the chosen few that the DREAM Act would allow.
If you truly want to be a part of this country, you will be. No piece of paper, no Senate or House needs to tell me that I belong. I will continue to enrich this country with what I have to offer; I will not give up on it, even though its people sometimes give up on me. I will always be a dreamer, no matter what.

L. Heffy Says:
My version of the dream act is that immigration laws are enforced and all future cry babies are turned back at the border.
Maya Says:
My dream is that all the ILLEGAL aliens will leave! This country is becoming a toilet thanks to all the leaches, gangs and criminals from Mexico. It gets worse every year. The Mexicans are marching in the streets with Mexican flags wanting this and that.
The roots of the problem have more to do with Mexico's economy and history. Mexico is the 10th wealthiest economy in the world. La fundación, (colonial) system is alive and well in the separation of classes above the middle class. The wealthy live apart and many pay no taxes, so that the government is unable to create policies and institutions that would offer its citizens decent education, infrastructure and social services. Corruption is the law of the land. To get anything done you pay under the table, so that the poor are unable to better themselves.
Illegal Immigration is the safety value for the rich of Mexico who contribute NOTHING to the society they live off. The working poor and underclass are supported by money sent from relatives in the USA. As long as this situation exists there will be a relentless flow of illegals entering the USA. No matter what our attitude is the real issue is turning the faucet off to stop the flood.
DerailAmnesty.com Says:
Here's a dream many Americans have – People who would like to come to this country always obey our immigration, employment, and motorist laws. They don't disrespectfully wave foreign flags on our streets when demanding that we change laws and regulations they refuse to follow, and once here, only have children they can afford without citizen taxpayer funded government subsidies and services.

Here is a handful of thoughts about the fourth technique in the fundamentals kata, gedanate, which name means 'lower body strike.'
- Musashi claimed to be able to throw people 10-20 feet and kill them with this technique. Are you to that point in your training yet? No? Keep practicing, Grasshopper!
- Gedanate is the Tomiki aikido name for the judo technique called sukuinage. In normal practice in aikido you don't grab his legs, but you can. If tori happens to fall with uke during gedanate then it resembles the judo throw called taniotoshi.
- If you are throwing uke over your forward leg to land behind you then you are using your weak back rotator muscles. Try getting this technique to work lunging forward through uke with a dropping motion like an otoshi throw – and with no over-the-leg rotation.
- Don't hold uke up with the hand that is controlling his wrist. Sometimes it can make for a dramatically effective throw if you just carelessly toss uke's arm over your shoulder behind you instead of hanging onto his wrist.
- Your first thought is to attack the face (which you might call jodan ate) but if anything prevents that you can still attack the lower body (gedan ate). For the purposes of this technique, you can consider lower body anything below the face. So, try pushing him off with an elbow to the ribs. Or keep in mind that you can step on his near knee or foot for a dramatic offbalance. Attacking anything lower than jodan (essentially face) can be considered gedan.

Date nights and volunteering are just two of the (many!) things that most parents have little time for these days — despite the best of intentions. But, just think how amazing it would be if we could work both (yes, I said both!) into our hectic lives.
Well, one multitasking mom is making it happen for some lucky parents in the central Florida area.
Kristen Manieri, founder of blog Orlando Date Night Guide, believes in regular date nights for not only strengthening a relationship but also making a happier home. Just over a year ago, as a way to give back to her community, Manieri launched Do Good Date Night — a parents night out series that allows couples to spend quality time together while also working on charitable projects.
Do Good Date Night empowers couples, as they head off to complete one hour of service work, followed by celebratory fun. "Couples get to enjoy catered food, adult beverages, music, and interactive elements, such as trivia," Manieri tells Babble.
"I think the most important component is that we actually do work that makes a real difference, while presenting couples with a tangible impact on issues they care about, rather than simply writing a check without a hands-on connection," she continues.
I can totally relate. Before my son was born, I worked at a nonprofit and contributed to several worthy causes. Now, my husband and I are working parents of a toddler. We rarely get out for date night, and our philanthropy efforts have transitioned from galas to Girl Scout cookie purchases. So we were thrilled to attend a Do Good Date Night at our local food bank.
After a long week of working and parenting, it was nice to do something outside of the norm (i.e. dinner and a movie). The evening was perfectly planned out, and offered an affordable way to spend time together. Typical fundraisers cost hundreds of dollars to attend, but Do Good Date Night averages to be about $15-20 per person (including food, beverage, and activities!). You can't beat it, especially with 100 percent of proceeds benefiting the night's charity.
Bonding with my spouse over something so much bigger than ourselves, and our lives, was priceless. Frankly, it felt great! And, I definitely had a 'proud wife moment' watching my better half smile along with fellow couples as he put together nutritious, lifesaving kits for the hungry.
So, are these date nights actually making a difference? You bet! 12 sold out events, attended by hundreds of philanthropic-minded parents, have raised over $5,500 for local charities. Activities included preparing 22,500 meals for hungry children through Feeding Children Everywhere, organizing 16,000 pounds of produce for Second Harvest Food Bank, making 4,000 hygiene kits for undeveloped regions with Clean the World, building two homes for deserving families with Habitat for Humanity, and more.
The popularity of Do Good Date Night is growing, and I love knowing that the demand exists. Manieri hopes to expand the series into other U.S. cities.
"This is the gateway drug to volunteerism for busy parents," she explains. "There's a trickle-down effect of connecting people with a nonprofit that they may not have connected with otherwise. My hope is that they'll continue supporting nonprofits."
This meaningful endeavor started with just one mom, so even though your city may not have an official event series, I challenge you to still 'do good' on your date nights. You might surprise yourselves, and really enjoy it!

AVO & Restraining Order Lawyers Sydney
What is an AVO?
An apprehended violence order is an order for your protection. It sets out restrictions on the other person's behaviour for your safety. If you have children, the order will also protect them.
Sometimes referred to as restraining or protection orders, AVOs are designed to protect you where:
- someone has hurt you or your child
- you are scared that someone will hurt you or your child
- someone is intimidating, harassing, or stalking you or your child
How do I apply for an AVO?
There are two ways you can apply for an AVO. You can apply yourself – this is called a private application, or the police can make an application on your behalf.
To get an AVO you will need to show that there are reasonable grounds for you to fear the defendant.
You should report any incidents to the police.
Will I have a criminal record?
An AVO is not a criminal charge. This means that if an AVO is made against you it will not appear on your criminal record. However, an AVO can affect your employment prospects.
If a prospective employer does a "working with children" check it will show any final AVO which is made for the protection of a child. If you are planning a career that involves contact with children an AVO could limit your prospects.
A person who has an AVO against them can't hold a firearms license while it is in force and for 10 years after it finishes. If you intend to work in the security sector, or on a farm where a firearm is needed, an AVO could prevent you from carrying out that work.
Breaching an AVO
While having an AVO against you does not result in a criminal record, breaching an AVO is a criminal offence and could result in a jail term of up to 2 years.
If someone has lied to obtain an AVO against you think carefully before agreeing to it. They could lie again to police saying you have breached it.
If an AVO is breached by violence, the law provides that the penalty must be a jail term except in exceptional circumstances.
Dropping an AVO
Having an AVO dropped is not easy and very few matters are withdrawn by the police. This is deliberate to reduce instances of domestic and family violence, and to deter repeat offenders.
Even if the alleged victim does not want an AVO, the police can take one against someone they suspect may have committed a domestic violence offence.

It's a crime to make fun of Egypt's Morsi
No "speaking truth to power" in President Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood's Egypt. Laughing is only allowed when the government approves, as a popular satirist named Bassem Youssef found to his dismay. New York Times: The satirist, Bassem Youssef, who hosts a widely watched show modeled on "The Daily Show," has been the subject of numerous legal complaints filed by Islamist lawyers and citizens who took umbrage at Mr. Youssef's skewering of Egypt's political class, including Mr. Morsi, his loyalists and the opposition. But the arrest warrant seemed to represent a sharp escalation of the campaign against Mr. Youssef, with the public prosecutor appointed by Mr. Morsi lending official credence to the complaints. In the nine months since Mr. Morsi took office, his government has been accused of employing the same harsh measures against dissent as did the previous authoritarian leaders, including prosecuting critics, confiscating newspapers and placing sympathetic journalists in...(Read Full Post)

QMP500-3 is our 55/64" brass aerator that attaches to the tip of our modern water faucets.
Without an aerator, water flows out of the faucet in one large stream. Our aerator spreads this stream into multiple little droplets to help save water and reduce splashing.
A faucet aerator also helps meet U.S. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications by limiting the water flow.

I want your life!
These are words I never expected to be directed to me. Yet, within an 18-month period I had over a half dozen people tell me "I want your life!"
In the books listed below are the secrets to my having attained a life others find enviable. Each will help you build a new, higher level of confidence.
My wish for you is that you too have others saying to you "I want your life!"
Learn how to be consistently confident…even when you have no background or experience.
- Common misconceptions about confidence and how they influence your thinking.
- What your true source of confidence…and power…really is.
- How to define success in a way that you'll never fail again.
- The roles talent and desire play in success.
- When, and when not to, pay attention to other people's perceptions of you.
- How to use desire to make more conscious, well-reasoned choices in your life.
These, and other remarkable insights in this book, will help you free yourself of fear, anxiety and frustration and, in doing so, lead a life others desire. When others tell you, as they've told me, "I want your life!" you'll have an even greater appreciation for the confidence that you've gained and the joy it affords you.
Learn to convert confidence into influence and opportunity.
Imagine the admiration, and opportunities, you'll attract when others say to you:
- You don't think like other people do.
- You look at the world differently than other people do.
- You see things other people don't see.
- Yet what you say makes perfect sense.
People who possess these abilities no longer pursue opportunities, they ATTRACT them.
When people realize that you're able to see things they don't see…and do so quickly with little or no effort…they seek your advice and request your involvement in their initiatives. That's how you attract opportunities. Isn't it time that you began attracting opportunities?
Learn how to tap into the power of your subconscious mind…your connection to God or the Universe, depending upon your beliefs.
Neuroscientists tell us that our conscious minds operate at the computer-equivalent speed of 30 to 60 bits per second while our subconscious minds operate at 10 to 12 million bits per second.
Yet no one teaches us how to tap into this incredible power…until now.
Discover how your subconscious mind can:
- Solve problems more quickly and with less effort than your conscious mind.
- Convert the emotions you're experiencing into conscious, well-reasoned, productive actions.
- What those crazy ideas that strike each of us from time to time really mean…and what to do with them.
Over the years, I've been able to help parents of a kid who suffered dyslexia and ADHD overcome the frustration and anger the child was experiencing…and gain confidence in the process. I accomplished this without any experience raising kids or with dyslexia or ADHD.
I've helped business people turnaround failing businesses and people experiencing health problems because of the stress they were experiencing.
The reality is that it wasn't me who provided the solutions, it was God or the Universe providing the answers. I was merely a conduit.
As you learn to tap into the power of your subconscious mind, and realize that it's your connection to a higher power, you too will be able to help people in ways you never imagined possible. That's a blessing you'll treasure throughout your life…your ability to help anyone in need.

Immediately following the Oversight Committee hearing in 2007, film director Amir Bar-Lev approached my family and me about making a film on my son Pat and the circumstances surrounding his death. At the time, we were not interested, and we declined. However, as the months passed my daughter-in-law, Marie, decided that a documentary might be the only medium that could really convey to the public the extent of the deception surrounding Pat's death.
This week, Mr. Bar-Lev's film, The Tillman Story, debuts in theaters, and a paperback edition of my book, Boots On The Ground By Dusk, is being reissued by Blurb.
People have asked: "Why is Pat so special that so much attention is given to his death?" I understand that question. Thousands of soldiers and Marines have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of their families have also been given stories cloaked in lies, yet those deaths have not received the attention Pat's has. Pat is not more important or more special than any of the others who have fought in these wars, but the truth of what happened to Pat is important. The truth shines a light on corruption and incompetence, and lack of accountability in the military and government that is systemic, and affects us all.
Major General Stanley McChrystal had been in charge of Joint Special Operations Command in 2004 when Pat was killed, but I had never heard of him until March 2007, when someone anonymously sent an AP reporter a copy of a high priority correspondence, a P-4 memo, written on April 29, 2004 and sent to McChrystal and to Generals Abizaid, Brown, and Kensinger. The purpose of the memo was to warn President George W. Bush and the Secretary of the Army not to make any comments about Pat's heroic death at the hands of the enemy since there was "potential" that Pat was killed by friendly fire. The memo was sent in an effort to spare the White House embarrassment, "if the circumstances of Corporal Tillman's death become public." It provides irrefutable evidence that not only did McChrystal lie about the circumstances surrounding Pat's death, but in it he even proposes false language for the Silver Star award citation. It also makes clear there was never any intention of telling the truth about Pat's death unless circumstances made it absolutely necessary.
There is a curious witness statement by General McChrystal in the third investigation into Pat's death, conducted by General Gary Jones. McChrystal says, "I believe we did not tell the family of the possibility {that the cause of Pat's death was fratricide} because we didn't want to give them a half-baked finding." Yet that is exactly what they did. We were presented with a contrived story--an absolute lie.
McChrystal's actions should have been grounds for firing, which is why it was so disturbing to us when President Obama instead promoted McChrystal to the position of top commander in Afghanistan. I had sent the President an email and a letter reminding him of McChrystal's involvement in the cover-up of Pat's death. In the letter, I suggested McChrystal should be "scrutinized very carefully" by the Senate Armed Services Committee. Pat's father and I both gave statements to the press reiterating this, as we had real knowledge of McChrystal's questionable behavior, of actions we felt should have disqualified him from the position. We felt it would have been negligent not to do something.
On May 13, 2009 Senator John McCain called me. McCain had given a eulogy at Pat's memorial service and was instrumental in pushing for the third investigation of Pat's death, but I hadn't heard from him in several years. I have always believed Pat's case was politically awkward for him, and so he'd chosen to distance himself from the entire affair. I was surprised to hear from him. He said he was contacting me to see if I wanted to give him questions that he could pose to McChrystal at the hearing, which I was willing to do until I learned that McCain was already publicly endorsing the McChrystal appointment before the hearing even began. I let the senator know I wouldn't be sending him any questions, as I feared they would be used to prep McChrystal, rather than to put him on the spot. McChrystal's appointment was approved.
On June 22, 2010, General Stanley McChrystal was forced to retire after remarks he and his staff made to Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hastings. I was contacted by several reporters and asked to give my thoughts on the subject but I declined to comment. I hadn't read the piece in its entirety at that point, so it seemed inappropriate to say anything. I got the sense a few of the reporter wanted me to say, 'I told you so,' but I was uncomfortable with that.
A day after the story broke I read the full Hastings article. I found myself feeling strangely validated. The "Runaway General" is exactly the arrogant individual I thought him to be. President Obama had no choice but to relieve McChrystal of his command. How sad that the President and Congress didn't properly scrutinize him a year ago.
Over the last five years the Pentagon and Congress have had numerous opportunities to hold accountable those responsible for the cover-up of Pat's death. Each time they've failed.
The government didn't just lie to us; it lied to a nation.

Technical Paper
Comparison of Single Gear Tooth and Cantilever Beam Bending Fatigue Testing of Carburized Steel
The bending fatigue performance of gears, cantilever beam specimens, and notched-axial specimens were evaluated and compared. Specimens were machined from a modified SAE-4118 steel, gas-carburized, direct-quenched and tempered. Bending fatigue specimens were characterized by light metallography to determine microstructure and prior austenite grain size, x-ray analysis for residual stress and retained austenite measurements, and scanning electron microscopy to evaluate fatigue crack initiation, propagation and overload. The case and core microstructures, prior austenite grain sizes and case hardness profiles from the various types of specimens were similar. Endurance limits were determined to be about 950 MPa for both the cantilever beam and notched-axial fatigue specimens, and 1310 MPa for the single gear tooth specimens.

Auguste Blangy , born 13th of March in 1779 in Paris, was pupil of the famous horn player Duvernoy. In 1799 Blangy received the first price at the Conservatoire of Paris. The time between 1810 and 1816 he was employed at the Parisian Opera. In this time he may have composed his works for the opera. In 1818 to 1820 he was Répétiteur at the Conservatoire. Beside his education in horn playing he must have received numorous lectures in composition. He was also one of the founders of the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire in 1828. There he played the second horn together with the first horn players Dauprat, Mengal and Meiferd.
It can be assumed that his change to the viola in 1831 was because of health conditions. He finished his employment on the first December in 1843 and died 10th October 1848
Airs d`Aladin / ou la Lampe Merveilleuse / Musique de / Nicolo et Benincori / ARRANGÉS POUR DEUX CORS / dot plusiers à Tons différens, / dédiés à / Mr. Alfred de Neuville / par A. Blangy / de l`Académie Royale de Musique
This is the title of the submitted Duos for 2 Horns. Blangy processed some pieces from the opera "Alaeddin and the Enchanted Lamp" of a composer Nicolo. Under the name Nicolo is hidden Nicolas Isouard (1775 -1818), who was a very successful Paris opera composer of the time. This, however, died before completion of the work and Angelo Maria Benincori (1779 - 1821) completed the composition. But Benincori died before the first performance. 1822, the opera premiered in Paris, after the conductor François-Antoine Habeneck (1781-1849) had completed the work yet.
These suites are interesting also because of the different usage of tunes for the different horn parts and that both horns play the higher or lower part in the duos.

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – Andre Johnson is one of the best, most dominant players in the NFL today and if you look at his stats with all of the information that goes along with it that becomes very apparent. If you just look at his regular season stats he played in seven games and averaged 70 yards and over 4.5 receptions per game. That's not bad but there is so much more to what Andre brings to the table.
First of all, 70 yards per game is good but by no means does it put Johnson in the upper echelon of wide receivers in the NFL. For the season he ranks 20th in yards per game. However, with a slightly deeper look some of those numbers make more sense.
In the first three games of the season Johnson accounted for 95, 93, and 128 yards respectively. However, in the fourth game of the season Johnson went down in the first half when he had only accumulated 36 yards. The hamstring injury ended his day and kept him out for almost two months.
When he returned to face Jacksonville it was with Matt Leinart because Schaub had just injured his foot in the previous game. Johnson had an anemic performance with two catches for 22 yards. However, that is because Leinarat was knocked out of the game. The fact that the Texans lost their first and second string quarterbacks essentially within one half of football (Schaub was not diagnosed until after the Tampa Bay game) scared Kubiak into being ultra conservative with his only quarterback left on the roster.
// Rookie, fifth round draft pick, T.J. Yates accounted for just 31 total yards through the air in the second half of the Jacksonville game. That was not a knock on Johnson nor was it a knock on Yates. The Texans had a lead and it was imperative that Yates not be injured. The Texans pounded the ball with the best 1-2 punch at running back in the NFL and iced the game, but that didn't help Johnson's stats any.
The next week Johnson and the Texans faced the Atlanta Falcons. Johnson started off hot with four catches for 97 yards. However, in the third quarter he injured his other hamstring and had to leave the game.
Johnson missed the rest of December and returned just in time for the final game of the season. However, with the 3rd seed locked up Kubiak decided to rest Johnson (as well as several other key players). Johnson did play in the game but only for 18 snaps because they couldn't risk him re-injuring his hamstring.
In those 18 snaps Johnson had two catches for 21 yards. That means that the final four games of the season for Johnson he was either injured in the game or the team wasn't trying to throw the ball to him.
This left some question as to whether Johnson was ready to come back and play at an elite level. However, in Johnson's first ever playoff game he came up huge with five catches for 90 yards including a 40 yard touchdown which put the lead out of reach.
Johnson is truly a special player but many times a player's career is ignored in favor of their post-season performances (see Dan Marino). If Johnson wants to take his place among the elite of the elite to ever play the position he must not only continue to excel next week against the Ravens but he must will his team to win and continue their march into the post-season.
