Colourful Lead Light Fish Nail ArtHi Girls, I am very excited to share a happy and colourful nail art today. I might have mentioned in my previous post how desperate I have been for a good lot of sheer tints even after lots of failed/passed experiments. Eventually when I tried Glass Paints, my thrust was satiated. And now I just love the "LeadLight".
I am participating in the OMD3 Challenge with all my might. Obviously I cannot commit to a nail art a day but I am trying to make my presence twice a week. Remember, we had a post on challenges and its pros & cons? I found this challenge constructive in that way, except that it asks for a daily participation.
I forgot to mention in my previous discussion, the intention to participate also matters a lot to evaluate what you get out of a challenge. How strongly are you willing to learn, participate and enjoy? I have all the intention to have fun and do more.
For this nail art I used Envy White base. I wanted some blue waves beneath my fishes so I stamped some wave pattern with Nail Matinee Light Blue stamping polish. Now I could have used a darker blue for waves to be more prominent. But then, there was a good chance dark wave killing the phunk of the fishes. So I decided to take the risk.
I did a coat of Essence Pixie Dust which is a duo-chrome/holo kind topper so that the lustre of the sea beneath is present. I stamped cute fishes from BPS Plate 66. You can buy the plate here and get 10% discount sitewide on using coupon code HQBQ10. It is such an adorable plate and I so love the fishes in them. Over the fishes I used Glass Paint for Leadlight. I am so impressed with it.
I am really happy with the end result. The fishes are so colourful and lively, it feels like I am peeping into a colourful aquarium. Do you feel the same? Let me know your thoughts on it leaving comment below.

Toshiba satellite c55-a running windows 8.1 crashed. A room mate wiped the hard drive while I was out of the room. Then, a computer geek - friend of a friend - installed windows xp pro 32 bit instead of the windows 8.1 64 bit now, i can't install windows 8.1 64 bit nor will xp allow me to access the bios...what can i do to get rid of xp so I can install the 8.1?
Normally you'd just boot from the OS disk or restore partition, delete the existing installation and then do a fresh install. In your reinstall attempts are you using disks or restore partition?
Make sure you're accessing the bios correctly. I know some of the computers that came with 8 had a bios that was kind of locked to it but I would still think you could access it since that's a procedure you'd do before the OS starts to load.
If XP is causing a problem with the reinstall of 8 at worst you may need to replace the hard drive but wait for others with more familiarity with that laptop and window 8's idiosyncrasies to post in.
Don't forget to preorder your Hatch green chili for this fall. Many vendors ship world-wide. Better hurry. They're picking and shipping now.
message edited by DAVEINCAPS
Windows XP does not affect BIOS and is not the reason you can't access it.
Did the crash you mentioned happen before the disk wipe and was this done to try to rectify the problem? If so maybe you might actually have a hardware fault, in which case this has to be rectified first the Win 8.1 loaded again which will wipe XP.
You should be able to reach BIOS even if there is no operating system installed because this information is stored on the motherboard chips. It starts before Windows. In practical terms you can treat BIOS as if it is hardware.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Frodsham & District History Society is contributing to Heritage Open Days by bringing together information from numerous sources on the history of selected local shops in the centre of Frodsham.
The information will be displayed on individual posters in the windows of 18 shops, or former shops from the 2nd to 10th September to coincide with the nationally celebrated Heritage Open Days. The posters will show historic images and advertisements, former site usage and details of previous owners and occupiers.
The posters are best viewed by following a short walk starting at Nationwide in lower Church Street, then continuing up Church Street and under the railway bridge towards the Helter Skelter (5 posters). Cross to the opposite side of Church Street & walk down to the traffic lights (4 posters).
Turn left along the south side of Main Street and walk to Coward's (2 posters). Retrace your steps to the Post Office, cross to the north side of Main Street and proceed towards the Bear's Paw (4 posters). Continue into the north side of High Street (3 posters).
On this suggested walk you will also pass 3 properties that are participating in the Heritage Open Days 'buildings open to view' scheme and you are encouraged to view their special heritage features.

KI Live: 2/25 Thoughts
Hey Everyone,
Just like every other, this KI Live was amazing! KI did a P101 quest as they discussed updatese to the game and the Five Boxes! I enjoyed watching them bring in their special guest, Cheryl aka Moolinda Wu! I thought her crochet Moolinda was cute. :D KI should make lots of them and sell them on their site. I'd buy a few of them. Anyways, they showed a sneak peak of their new mobile app: Alphacat. Even though I'm not super big on Rise and Destroy, I think I might like Alphacat. It's about saving the cat planet and fighting against evil. The battle play reminds me of Pirate101.
So this KI Live was super cool, as they all are. Watch this episode on YouTube here (copy & paste it):
And I will see you all soon! Check out Fiona Icebreeze's Desert Villa house tour below! It's amazing!
~ Ali <3
Hey Everyone,
I want to start posting about what happened in the KI Lives and my thoughts about it. The posts for them will be posted the next day after.
To start off, I wanna say that I heard the KI live for this Thursday (2/18/16) is rescheduled to Thursday 2/25/16, starting at 4 PM Central. I can't wait to talk about it :D
I also wanna inform you about the previous KI from January! (It is probably my favorite since I just started watching KI Live in November :P)
January KI Live
This KI Live first started off by bringing Jeff, the gobbler king, onto live! KI did some Q&A and told about how its been for him on the team. :D
Then, a epic Rasputin battle was fought, and it was pretty amazing!
And don't forget my favorite part: a cat morphing party on P101!
Also, a Rise and Destroy level was played :D
Watch this episode here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA4ySOj-UnU&feature=youtu.be
Cya on the next KI episode!

I have a column that uses values from predefined set (a drop-down list), implemented using Data Validations. Now if I change some value in the list, the drop down (when open) will immediately offer this new value. However, the table will not auto-update itself, meaning that some of the values in the column will be invalid until I fix them manually.
I have seen solutions based on macros / VBA but isn't there some clever way directly in the Excel UI?

A gun control initiative that would expand background checks to all private gun sales in Nevada also portends something else: The "Californication of Nevada."
After all, the initiative is not Nevadan in its funding, the "bulk" of which comes from Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety. Nor is the initiative Nevadan in its conception. Rather, the Los Angles Times posits Nevada as a state chosen by external forces to be "the latest testing site for Michael R. Bloomberg's attempt to pass a law requiring background checks for gun sales between private parties, including those conducted over the Internet."
Washington state went Bloomberg's way in 2014, passing a comprehensive background checks initiative. Yet there have been two mass shootings and a high-profile shooting in Washington state this year alone. On September 23, five innocent lives were gunned down in Cascades Mall in Burlington. On July 30, three innocents were shot and killed at a house party just north of Seattle. In late February, the AP reported a gunman killed four people then himself in Belfair, Washington.
The Washington story is the same story we saw in Colorado, which passed comprehensive background checks in 2013. Yet on Halloween day 2015, a gunman opened fire in the streets of Colorado Springs, killing three before being killed by police. CBS News reported that the Halloween gunman acquired all his guns "legally." And just over a month later, Robert Lewis Dear opened fire outside a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood, killing three including a police officer. Comprehensive background checks failed to stop either of these high-profile shootings.
And the Colorado and Washington state stories are ultimately California's story. California has comprehensive background checks, firearm registration requirements, firearm confiscation laws, and so much more. Yet, they also had two Palm Springs police officers shot and killed in an ambush attack on October 8. Moreover, the state witnessed a June 1 murder-suicide on the gun-free UCLA campus and the San Bernardino terror attack — killing 14 — on December 2, 2015. On May 23, 2014, California witnessed three shot to death and another three stabbed to death in the Santa Barbara attack. Comprehensive background checks were powerless to stop any of it.

We continue to see pump jobs that get sold into. $INDU gave back 60pts into the close. Are we just climbing a wall of worry?
Breadth indicators like Zweig Breadth Thrust and $NYSI are not confirming this move as each has essentially stalled.
In the last few sessions, advancing stocks are just barely staying ahead of declining issues.
$VIX: Using my preferred method in the 60 minute time frame, which is using the 13 & 34 EMA's, the 13EMA crossed up through the 34EMA today, and that would be a 'buy' signal. Meanwhile, XIV closed below its 50MA today after managing to close above it yesterday. So if $VIX is buy in the 60 minute time frame, and XIV has failed to stay above its 50MA for more than one day, then what is $SPX?
On this chart of $SPX I have drawn a rising channel. I don't think it's a legitimate channel but maybe it could morph into one. Clearly there's a lot of indecision in the markets over the past few days and we continue to get those indecision doji's. While it appears to me that the Big Boys are raising cash ahead of Friday's big announcement out of Europe, maybe all this pumping and dumping we're witnessing is something completely different. Today marks the third try and the third failure of the $SPX to close above the 200MA. Is there some kind of psycho voodoo going on with that MA? Beats me. It's just a number not a barrier, or so they say.
The market appears to be held hostage ahead of Friday's big announcement. Maybe that's all this is, or maybe it's something more sinister. All I can say is that I do not have a sell signal on any of the chart methods I follow. While the $VIX has given a 'buy' signal in the 60min time frame, the $SPX remains a hold per the same method.
Given what has happened over the past few sessions, I see no reason to unload longs, nor do I see any reason to add to existing positions or initiate any new positions. And I certainly see no evidence to support going in on the short side. Things are certain to become clearer in the next couple of days.

Project scope:
Removal of the main load bearing wall opening up the space and completely updating the main floor plus 3 bathrooms.
Testimonial: In the end, we had the home we envisioned
We had the unique pleasure of meeting Mike Lawrance through a conversation with one of his apprentices. The professional and respectful manner of his practice and dealings with his crew was reinforced further by his website. Working with Mike on the massive task of gutting and renovating our new home, we experienced his honest and direct style of management first hand.
While the job had its share of up and downs as many projects will, Mike was able to help navigate us through the experience with clarity and action. His weekly updates, open reporting of costs and quick and easy access via cell and email, always kept us informed and firmly in control of our budget and project.
In the end, we had the home we envisioned with the attention to detail and craftsmanship that we desired. We would welcome the opportunity to work with Mike again on any project. His work is ethically sound and his manner a good balance of professionalism, honesty with a touch of humour. Given that my wife and I are both health care professionals, these are values that we expect and demand in our work and were delighted to find our experience with M Squared.

Contains exclusive full un-cut interview with Mark Thatcher and his driver explaining what really happened when they got lost in 1982.
In 1977 French motorcyclist Thierry Sabine was in serious trouble, lost in the Libyan Desert and dying from thirst. Whilst most men would weep and think back over their lives, Thierry thought about coming back - to do a rally across the Sahara Desert. The 9000km Paris-Dakar, the world's craziest race, was born.
The rally became a beacon for eccentric adventurers battling the terrain in customised vehicles, seduced by the romance of the desert and the extreme challenge. It soon became a victim of its own rapid success, shrouded in controversy, overwhelmed by corporate interests, responsible for over 60 deaths and decreed vulgar by the Vatican. Finally, in 2008, this incredible event was brought to an end by terrorism.
Featuring winners Cyril Neveu, Hubert Auriol, Jean Louis Schlesser, Ari Vatanen, Stephane Peterhansel, Martine De Cortanze and many many more. This is the story of the biggest motorsport event the world has ever seen and one of the greatest challenges of human endeavour ever conceived, from those that took part. How the West took on a landscape of incredible beauty and scale. And lost.

Sound 046 – Ambivalent
We're still reeling from all the amazing sets during this year's Movement Festival in Detroit, and Ambivalent's set has been on constant repeat for us. He's definitely someone you should add to your playlist. Ambivalent has been playing techno for over 9 years now and has developed quite the reputation with not only fans but some of the biggest names in techno today, including Loco Dice, Adam Beyer, Nina Kraviz, Josh Wink, Scuba and many others. Ambivalent has not one but two labels, Delft and Valence, but has released tracks for Ovum, Cocoon, Mobilee, and Minus labels. His DJ sets have taken him to numerous clubs and festivals across the globe, some you may know, with the list including Berghain, Output, Amsterdam Open Air, Village Underground, the BPM Festival, and of course Movement. Again his set from Movement is on constant repeat and has converted us from a casual fan to follower. We'll definitely be looking out for a tour date here in New York. Listen to Ambivalent from the Movement Festival 2017 below!!!

This Peruvian salsa of onions, sweet peppers and bright lime juice is served on many meats and fish, but is especially good against the crunchy crust and tender, juicy meat of this fried pork chop.
- Salsa:
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Pork:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 4 thin cut sirloin pork cutlets (about 1-1 1/4 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Recipe Details
- Yield: 4 Servings
- Course: Entrée
- For the Salsa: Combine the onion, bell peppers, cilantro, juice, cumin, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- For the Pork Chops:Combine the flour and garlic powder on a plate. Place the eggs in a large bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Place the bread crumbs on a separate large plate. Season the cutlets with the salt and pepper. Working with one cutlet at a time, coat the pork with flour, shaking off excess.

- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add pork cutlets and cook until golden and cooked through, 4 minutes per side. Transfer to serving plates and top each with the salsa.

Spend a couple of days in Stavanger last week, stunning city and well worth a walk around.
This was painted on the wall of our hotel, there is a lot of these about and most are done with taste and don't make the place look tacky.
Building are also painted very bright.
As are the many bars and coffee shops.
This maybe my last post for a while, I managed to rupture both my biceps and snapped both the tendons that hold them in place, so they are now both up where my shoulders are, if my arms didn't look so strange I'd be down the beach with my shirt off, showing off my huge shoulders, operation tomorrow with an over night stay, back home on Wednesday, if I can type by then I'll give an update, kindly my wife is typing this for me but I'm sure she won't want to do it to often.

Had our first guest in the Old Fire Station, our new holiday home, they seemed to enjoy their stay and left a lovely comment in our guest book.
We went down there to get it ready for our next guest and I had the chance to take some time out and have a walk down at the bay.
While I was down there I booked a table for dinner here, great meal with a view to match.

Lunday (Secret Lives of Great Composers, 2009, etc.) supplies a sharp narrative history of the famous 1913 Armory Show in New York, which helped to introduce the American public to modern art.
When the International Exhibition of Modern Art opened in the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue on February 17, 1913, the American public had no idea what was in store for it. Chiefly organized by three artists—Walt Kuhn, Walter Pach and Arthur Davies—disillusioned that the artistic establishment known as the Academy had shunned their work, the Armory Show was the first large-scale exhibition of modernist and avant-garde art in America. The organization these men helped found to oversee the show was called the Association of American Painters and Sculptors, and its primary goal was to take down the outdated Academy's stranglehold on the local art world. While modern painting had shaken up art establishments in Germany and France, Americans remained mostly unaware of the radical aesthetic movements taking hold. While the AAPS was optimistic about modernist art, many of the reviews and reactions of gallery visitors were less than understanding. Reviews often castigated the artists as insane and immoral, while attendees became obsessed with trivialities like finding the nude in Duchamp's show-stealing Nude Descending a Staircase. However, it didn't matter since the exhibition was a sensation. Lunday smartly refers to it in 21st-century parlance as a "meme" since it inspired so many crossover cultural references. But New York was kind compared to the show's touring stops in Chicago and Boston, which tried to shut it down on obscenity charges. While the author ably crafts a narrative out of the building of the show, she expertly follows its influence through the reactionary "Regionalism" artists of the 1930s to the culmination of its ideals in Jackson Pollock, whose abstract paintings epitomized a uniquely American sensibility.
A vivid, compelling portrait of the Armory Show and its lasting influence on American art.

Written by Helene Aecherli / Photos: Abdo Ramadan
In Yemen, an erratic multilateral war is raging that has so far killed over 2,000 people. 22 million people, or 80 percent of the population, are lacking food, water and basic medical equipment, a humanitarian disaster which is worsened by a naval blockade imposed by the Saudis to cut off arms supplies to rebel forces. The Geneva peace talks that were held last week brought no result.
However, the war in Yemen rarely makes the headlines of the international media. It is off the radar of international attention.
Yemenis want to be heard. They need to be heard. I have asked Yemeni friends of mine, men and women, to tell their stories and give a personal account of their experiences of war and to take pictures that illustrate their texts.
A good friend of reporter Helene Aecherli narrated his story about the war in Yemen, Abdo Ramadan, a businessman in Sana'a said, "It is not easy to describe how life has turned upside down since March 26th 2015. Words are not enough to reveal the sufferings we endure as a family that lives in the Yemeni capital Sana'a under the attacks of missiles and bombs as a daily exercise. During each attack we expect death by a missile that smashes our lovely roof taking its way to take our souls."
"My wife and four young daughters experience dreadful, frightful and horrible moments when they hear the sounds of the attacking jets flying through Sana'a's clear blue sky. This fear is doubled when I am at work or out of the house," said Abdo Ramadan. "They feel more secure when I am close to them, when we all are together."
Continuing his story, Ramadan said, "Whenever the family hears the sounds of the Saudi military air planes followed by heavy explosions, we immediately rush into the safest place in the house, below the stairs near the door fearing the worst. Just imagine how we feel being crouched beneath the stairs!"
"Apart from her fear, Malak, my oldest daughter, worries about her sisters and her schoolmates in different parts of the city. She is in the 9th grade now and her exams are scheduled to take place in less than two months. At the same time she doesn't know if she and her school friends will ever take place and if they will be able to take the exams as they are not preparing for them. They still do not feel conformable reviewing lessons at home due to the constant atmosphere of fear we are living in."
"My second daughter Layan is suffering deeply too; the experience of being under attack is traumatic for her. When she hears a noise in the street or at home such as glasses breaking in the kitchen, she screams and runs away terrified, as if there was an air attack or a bombing."
"Fortunately Ghaida and Aseel, my youngest daughters, do not pay much attention to what is going on including the danger around, but they still do repeat the word of "attacks, attacks, attacks!" and giggle innocently while they rush to the safety stairs."
"My wife has become a full house wife and nurse since the attacks began. A nurse in the sense that she counsels the other women in the house who are horrified during the attacks. And she supervises the children and she tries to makes sure that they take their doses of iron supplementation and other natural and medical doses.
Before the start of the war, my wife worked as a teacher in an illiteracy center in a nearby area, now the center is closed; 90 percent of her students have left and fled to their villages or to other areas in the country for their safety," said Abdo Ramadan.
"We were seriously considering going to travel to our village, but even that it did not work as the suffering doubled over there. The village is crowded and there is a remarkable shortage of water and food. And moreover is the total rejection of my wife who refused to leave me alone in Sana'a."
"However, there are more attacks and jets here in Sana'a than in the village, so my old parents refuse to spend the holy month of Ramadan with us this year. This hurts as well. During Ramadan we used to come together for spiritual, humanitarian and traditional matters."
"Personally, I am not afraid of death, but I feel crushed by the responsibility I bear for my family and for my daughters as their future is vague. Frustration and hope – this is what I feel during this endless crisis," said Abdo Ramadan.
"I am aware of the fact that, compared to millions of Yemenis, my family and I are quite lucky. I still get paid for my job as a human resources manager for Sheba hotel, the only hotel operating within the renege of four and five start hotels."
"In our hotel, the entire expatriate staff left the country by early days of April. To keep the hotel open with just a handful of people is a horrendous challenge. Even more so as every day I see the daily suffering on the staff faces, including colleagues who confirm fighting hunger. "
The monthly payments have been decreased based on an agreement for survival only and maintaining operations against the high cost of living. Listing the difference of the old rate and new rates, Abdo Ramadan continued to say the 1 liter of petrol used to be 150 (YR), or $0.70 US. Now it's 600 YR. 50 kilograms of flour were 5,500 YR, now they are up to 9,500 YR. To get these items for the official rate you have to spend days and nights in search for it. Sometimes you see dozens of desperate men, women and children trying to get a can of water from a huge truck with water tanks. The water is donated by rich people.
Thirty percent of income goes only for transportation as fuel has become part of everyone's dream – not only within the capital of the country, but in the whole entire country, and those who have their buses still running have increased the ticket prices because they purchase fuel in the black market. There, fuel is sold for incredible prices. Before the war, a ticket for two or three kilometers in a public minibus cost 50 YR, around $0.20. Now the price has doubled. Taxis for the same distance cost 300 YR, now you have to pay more than 600 YR. A 20-litre gas cylinder used to cost 1200 YR ($6), now it costs 5000 YR ($23) on the black market.
"Most people like my colleagues can't afford the transportation costs at all. They prefer to walk long distances to reach work or home."
"Many government employees, along with those in the private sector, have lost their jobs and have been kicked out on the streets. Almost all teachers, like my wife, can't work anymore as well. The war has bereaved us of our productivity."
"I can say that we, the Yemeni people, are filled with hatred, rage and a desire for revenge as the attacks have reached all homes and every individual. There isn't a family that hasn't lost a relative or friend or fears to be killed by the blockade imposed on us by the coalition headed by Saudi Arabia. They prevent medicine, food items and fuel to enter the country. They can do that because they control all the ports of our Yemen," concluded Abdo Ramadan.

Hope is truly grateful for the opportunity to live each and every day doing her life's work and she is deeply committed to continuing to do it with the same passion and dedication that she had when she first began.

AZTEC TATTOOS by Juno (custom tattoo designer) :
First question: who were the Aztecs? Aztecs are an ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries.the Aztecs settled down in the swampy land around Lake Texcoco, Valley of Mexico. Often the term "Aztec" refers exclusively to the Mexican people of Tenochtitlan (now the location of Mexico City),who referred to themselves as Mēxihcah Tenochcah.
Brave warriors, marvelous engineers, great artists,their art and mythology are great to create very masculine, strong and beautifull tattoos.
Ancient Aztec art was primarily a form of religious expression and a means for paying tribute to their gods. In addition, various forms of Aztec art were used to assist in communication. Aztec art such as pictographs, paintings and warrior drawings can still be seen on the walls of their temples and within their ancient artifacts.
These beautifully crafted designs are still admired today and they are a fountain of inspiration to make the most strong and masculine designs for tattoos.
AZTEC DESIGNS and SYMBOLS:
Aztec Calendar is the most popular element in Aztec Tattoos. This design is used as main element for upper sleeve tattoos (shoulder area) and chalf chest tattoos.
Feathered Serpent: this image represent the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, one of the main deities of pre-Hispanic civilizations.
Tezcatlipoca: He is the Lord of heaven and earth, source of life, guardianship and protection of man, source of power and happiness, owner of battles, omnipresent, strong and invisible.
Aztec Warrior: a strong style of design like an "Aztec Gladiator", as symbol of protection and strength to who wears the tattoo. A female warrior looks good too.
Other aztec designs to add: Aztec temple, warrior head, skull, aztec alphabet, jaguar, eagle.
Sometimes I've make tattoos combining Aztec symbols and characters plus Polynesian art: they looks great!.

About Us
Designed by people who stink. Made for people who stink….
At Kleen Fabrics we stand for anti-stink clothing while supporting local community and giving back.
Kleen Fabrics is a start-up based out of Palo Alto, California. Founded by a mid-life crises denier who was surrounded by stink in his two fitness center and Bikram classes and couldn't take it anymore. He saw the stink getting in the way of being active. He tried everything to eliminate stink from dousing clothes in vinegar, sprinkling with baking soda, pouring vodka concoctions, and using odor blocking detergent. But the stink remained. When he couldn't remove the stink through washing, he bought expensive anti-odor clothing which lost effectiveness after a few washes.
After throwing away a dozen stinky shirts he asked, "Surely someone out there has the same problem? Surely someone has THE solution to stink? Why me?" Hence, Kleen Fabrics was born.
Kleen Silver powered by PurThread uses breakthrough technology that infuses silver salts into the fabric that remains 99.97% intact after 100 harsh industrial washes.
Supporting Local Community
Instead of producing outside of the US for lower cost, we wanted to keep every step of the process in the US to create jobs and ensure high quality of product.
100% Made in USA means:
Raw Material Produced in North Carolina and Tennessee
Designed in Palo Alto CA
Manufactured in San Francisco CA
Today I am happy to report that the battle of the stink has been won. But why stop there? We are committed to bring this amazing technology to help every aspect of your life.
Giving Back
In Ghana, like most third countries, people do not have access to water and electricity let alone for washing. We believe Kleen Fabrics is the ideal solution for durable, anti-bacterial, anti-stink to withstand harsh conditions of their daily lives. Something as simple as school uniforms can prevent access to education. We will provide school uniforms to an orphanage in Ghana (Kaeme Foundation) which are durable, anti-bacterial and require little washing.

ANCWL statement on the scourge of gender-based violence
28 May 2018
The African National Congress Women's League (ANCWL) is saddened by high alarming rate of gender based violence in the country and plead with all South Africans to join hands and fight the scourge.
It is alleged that the suspended Commissioner of South African Revenue Services (SARS) Tom Moyane physically assaulted the 17-year-old mother of his baby grandson and also a 19 year old man allegedly hanged two school girls at Stella Hoërskool Hostel over the weekend. This must be condemned by all South Africans. The ANCWL respects the principle of innocent until proven guilty, however we are resolute in supporting the victims of violence and wishes to reiterate this position. Mr. Moyane must face the law for alleged assault and the 19 year old man who allegedly hanged the two girls at Stella Hoërskool Hostel must face the law on murder charges.
South African women, children, gays and lesbians continues to bear the brunt of abuse in the hands of men. It is men against children, men against women, men against gays and lesbians. The African National Congress (ANC) led government must treat this as a national crisis and national security threat. The ANCWL welcomes the commitment made by the President of the ANC and of South Africa, His Excellency Cyril Ramaphosa during the event to honour Aunt Sophie De Bruyn . The President committed that he will be in the forefront of the fight against gender based violence . The ANCWL calls all members of society to join the President in the forefront. The killings and abuse of girls, women, children, gays and lesbians must be fought by all members of society, political parties, civil society organization, businesses et al.
The ANCWL also pleads with the media to also play a critical role in the fight against gender based violence. Radio stations, Television stations and newspapers have a platform that they can use effectively to discourage patriarchy and male chauvinism. Programs or stories that reinforces the patriarchal practices and objectification of women must be banned from media platforms. Government and business sectors must also avail adequate resources to institutions that promotes respect to gender equality and fight against gender based violence.
The ANCWL calls for wheels of justice to move fast in dealing with cases of gender based violence.
Issued by Meokgo Matuba, ANCWL Secretary General, 28 May 2018

Overview & Control Panel Usage (click here to close help
This page provides a real-time plot of the track of mobile stations, typically ships. You may view just the path of travel, or you may view various environmental sensor readings along the path. The plot is drawn using Google Maps, so that you may zoom in and out, drag the map to change location, and change the background.
The default plot for all vessels is the path of their travel. First select the vessel (if more than one is available) in which you are interested, and click Plot. The plot will default to the current day, and the date and time drop-downs may be used to change the date and time. If you change the Start Date, the End Date will automatically be set to the same date. The End Date may then be overridden. There is a 2-day limit for plots.
If you would like to view environmental sensor data along the path of travel, use the "Type of Data" drop-down to select the type of environmental data, and again click Plot. If you select anything other than Track the path shown becomes multi-colored; this is done to represent the values of the parameter and a color bar legend will appear.
Color bar legend value note: So that we may visually differentiate variations in environmental data as much as possible, the values associated with any color may change for each plot because of changes in range. For instance, if the salinity range for one plot is from 20 to 22 psu, then the middle of the colorbar will represent 21 psu. If on another plot the range is 24 to 32, then the middle of the colorbar will represent 28.
There are two markers that are used for plots: and The white tear with a sailboat overlayed with a red stop sign indicates the end of the plot and/or the most recent location of the vessel, if no plot has been drawn yet. The white tear with a sailboat is used for intermediate points along the track: While a plot is in progress, three red buttons, labeled "Pause", "Continue", and "Clear", will appear below the Plot button. Pressing Pause will stop the plot, and a red cone marker will appear at that point.
If you click on any of the markers, a Google Maps info window will appear, with the location, and date and time for that point. If you are tracking environmental data, such as salinity, the value at that point will also be shown. Clicking on Continue will resume the plot at that point. You may pause as many times as you like, and a red cone marker will appear at each pause point.
If the plot is happening too quickly, or too slowly, you may pause the plot, change the value in the "Plot Delay" dropdown at the bottom of the control panel, and continue. Please note, however, that the speed at which the plot is drawn is a function of many factors, and we can only influence, not determine, how fast the plot is drawn.
If you wish to cancel the plot, clicking "Clear" will erase the track, and indicate the last point in that track.
Each time you change any of the options, click the Plot button to redraw the track. Please note that each time this is done, both the zoom level and the map center may be reset: The plotting code sets the zoom level and map center so that the entire track may be seen. You may then zoom and drag the map.
Because drawing the plot will sometime be slow, especially IE, when a track is in progress, the 'Select Ship and Options' label at the top of the control panel will change to: "****** WORKING *******" and will blink slowly.
Since some browsers, such as Chrome and Safari, typically draw the track too quickly for it to be easily followed visually, there is a "Plot Delay" control at the bottom of the control panel that allows you to select one of several millisecond period delays that are inserted between each point in the track.
Because of the high frequency with which vessel position is reported, when tracks are plotted (with or without environmental data), plotting every point (as the vessel might not have moved signficantly, if at all) would be very time-consuming and visually confusing. Therefore, the vessel must have moved about 35 meters from one point to the next for the latter point to be used for plotting. If the latter point is too close, it is discarded and the next point is considered.
In addition to the visual display of track (without or without environmental data), you may use the Download button to retrieve the track and data information as an .xls file. Download will return the latitude and longitude of each point in the track, with the current Type of Data, if one is selected.
In the downloaded file, the date and time for each point will be shown, either in GMT or ET, based on the setting of the Time Zone" drop-down. For those parameters for which there are both English and Metric units, the "Units" drop-down will determine the units returned in the file.
If you wish download a file that includes all types of data, click the "Download All" button. Please note that when using "Download All" the Time Zone and Units selections are ignored: the download will use GMT and Metric units.

|tried to capture the spider clinging onto the flower, neither are sharp, imagine
|the water cloth.....growing and then....
|I'm very happy with the way the colours work together now; still have to figure out how to integrate more, am confident though
|walnuts just across the road....I heard the crows yesterday, a vocal sign indicating food! So Django and I went for a walk equipped with a bag and collected quite a few; seems early for walnuts, but then again we've had a lot of heavy rain and I imagine the nuts on the ground were pelted by sheer water-force out of the tree
|tried to capture the spider clinging onto the flower, neither are sharp, imagine
|the water cloth.....growing and then....
|...I cut out! the dark pieces in the larger cloth as they had served their purpose and added the smaller water story; now the random cloth piece has a story, of a ship and moonlight and the recent experiment of multi-coloured strip, sewn together on the wrong side has found a place; now I see all of the pieced together bits for what they are: the polder landscape, fields intersected by roads and pathways, dikes edged by rows of trees, the land cut into bite size plots, manicured gardens, wild ones, forgotten strips (not many of those), concrete bunkers, birds of every size, roe deer, hares, humans, insects, frogs and toads, all traipsing the land, the landscape I live in, am surrounded by, one day a cloth to wrap myself in
|I'm very happy with the way the colours work together now; still have to figure out how to integrate more, am confident though
|even though I live in this water world, I'm very much an earthy person; however, here the ship has entered the cloth and it all suddenly makes sense, how now there is a river and (the possibility of) movement, I have to admit to being excited about this piece
|two most important observations for me: the wrap-around stitch provides much more strength, whereas the running stitch offers a graphic quality I like a lot, as I often prefer my pieces to be two-sided; so I will use both depending on what I want to achieve
|the hazel curved twig happened to be hanging here, highly suitable for displaying these strips
|GhostBird pretending to be uninterested in the experiments
|apart from the regular walks in familiar places I do occasionally like to branch out beyond what I know and try something unexpected and different; like yesterday, my parents sent me an app mentioning they were in Zaltbommel for the annual Emmy Verhey festival (famous Dutch violinist, about to retire!)
Zaltbommel being a lovely town ánd only a 30 min. drive away, including a ferry crossing on the river Waal - which makes the entire trip feel like a mini break - why not join them, I said to self, so I apped back: any chance we could have a coffee together?
yes, they did and what's more if I could manage to arrive in time I too would be able to attend the 13:45 performance!
|off I went....I am afraid I only have pics of the stage in the Gasthuiskapel without the musicians, this was at their specific request. You do get a sense of the intimate scale of this twelfth century building, renowned for it's acoustics and especially suited to chamber music.
|we started off with a jazzy Sonata for violin and piano by Maurice Ravel; followed by a highly amusing concertino for two violins, tenor violin, clarinet, bassoon, horn and piano by Leos Janácek; finally a grande finale as it was a nonet for violin, tenor violin, cello, contrabass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn by Bohuslav Martinu.
The fun they all had together, playing music they obviously love, was tangible, a veritable feast! What a lovely surprise for me, as all I had bargained for was a coffee with my old folks......which we did have after all of this
|back home I got stuck in to the old sewing routine: larger cloth hangin'
so many small stitches have been added
|I'm surprised at the amount of pleasure the stitching brings, despite the fact of very slow growing
|have definitely decided some spots will remain one-layered: the possibility of maybe being able to look through.....of almost being able to see what's beyond, I like the idea of that
|how a small square appears as if out of nowhere
|on the reverse side we see how it may occur
|today I have hand-sewn my first French seam, it is so very neat. I love it, furthermore I was so impressed by what I had achieved I gave the dress yet another rest....I doubt it will be finished soon. I find the pattern-making way of making clothing mind-boggling as there are just so many steps:
getting book and then fabric, choosing a pattern, getting pattern paper, measuring self for correct pattern-size, tracing pattern (*wondering if there needs to be extra for seams or is that included in the pattern, then wondering if the chosen size is indeed the right one after all, this thought is a recurring one), cutting pattern paper*, pinning tracing paper on cloth, remembering to look for selvedge edge - just in time, rearranging pattern paper on right side of fabric; cutting cloth*, reading instructions in book, re-reading them; looking at cloth with pattern paper still pinned on and then reading instructions once more, looking back at cloth, this is repeated several times; thinking you have at last understood instructions, attempt at following instructions, finally deciding to just get sewing hoping you'll discover what needs to be done once you have done it..... turns out you were in fact actually following instructions, a result: does it look anything like it does in the book? yes, tada! success...feeling both immensly satisfied and tired, sit back and have a cup of tea, contemplate one's innocence at the moment of buying the Merchant & Mill's Workbook back in Edinburgh; decide to continue with next French seam at a later date, realising the dress will not be finished in time for the Summer of 2015

EGC2014 - An outsiders view - part 1
Some sage once said that if you stay put in one place with your heart as quiet as the deep water, the whole world will gravitate towards you.
Well, apparently that's what I've been doing since early this morning, manning the reception desk for Chinese players who participate in the 58th EGC, Day 3.
The first object that seemingly resulted from this gravitation was Harry from EuroGoTV and he assigned me a task to write a short piece for him everyday during the congress. I warned him that I could be very narrow-sighted and personal but he accepted.
So I agreed.
What I forgot to tell him is that I don't even know the rules of Go.
What he would do with an outsider's view would be a matter of wonder for me.
Then second object of gravitation was Fugulin, Chinese player Lu Pin's Romanian girlfriend.
What hadn't ceased amazing me was their constant salutation towards each other as "My Love" all the way from Beijing to Bucharest then the whole bumpy coach drive from Bucharest International airport to Sibiu. She amazed me again by telling me their relationship has endured 4 years.
And there they are, still kissing in the elevator…
The third object was Madame Liu, 5d Chinese player Professor Han's wife. Han lost two rounds in a row to the same guy in the same day and when his former foe greeted him on the street, he turned away his head.
Alas! Honors and manners both lost in foreign land!
The fourth object was Xiaochuan You, the heart and spirit of Chinese team, the quantum particle of my life. I mean, he could be in more than one place at the same time, and in best cases, everywhere, as just now, talking, cross-talking, crisscrossing everybody's path with everybody else's.
That's his thing.
The fifth are 10k mother and 2d daughter players. They lost every game since they came here but they fought brightfully on. While the daughter fled like a bird looking for reviews with pros, the mother stayed and urged me to eat and practically forced 3 biscuits down my throat.
I had to divert her attention daughter-wise before her next try.
These people, my teammates are really growing fond of me, aren't they? Coming out of the same region or branded as the same team doesn't necessarily make you friends but here we are, taking care of each other like real families.
Sibiu agrees with me.

With its squares, mansions, oak trees and Spanish Moss, Savannah is a gorgeous city when you're standing on the ground. But how does it look from the air? To find out, we got in touch with Old City Helicopters, who invited us out on a sunset tour. Soon enough, we were zooming along the Savannah River, looking down upon the city from above.
We're currently in Tenerife! Check out our journey at Tenerife: For 91 Days
December 21, 2010
A historical marker in Savannah's Colonial Park Cemetery reports that "nearly 700" victims of the 1820 yellow fever epidemic are buried there. In fact, exactly six-hundred and sixty-six people died of the disease. But the church had issues with putting the Number of the Beast on a sign, and demanded the figure be rounded up.
December 13, 2010
I'll admit it. I was already partial to Captain Mike's Dolphin Adventure, out on Tybee Island, because I like anything featuring my own name. Mike & Ike's? Delicious. Michael Jackson? The greatest ever. Mike the Headless Chicken? Best headless chicken ever. Mikes rule, and so it was no surprise to discover that Captain Mike's Dolphin Adventure was totally awesome.

If you ever get an e-mail from a journalist, there's one portion of it you should pay attention to more than any other. No, it's not the part where they're asking you about all that counterfeit money you're printing off your Lexmark; it's the sign-off.
If it's "Cheers," you're cool. You did OK. If it's "Regards," you pissed somebody off, and you better figure out how to fix things, quick.
We apply those same tenets here, every week.
CHEERS to Texas Monthly's Paul Burka for detailing exactly why the Supreme Court's ruling on Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, an issue lost in all the turmoil of healthcare reform. Burka finds that virtually no one–be they Republican, independent, or Democrat–agrees with the Supreme Court, and lays out how the tone of upcoming elections in Texas may be a bellwether for elections nationwide. (KL)
REGARDS to longtime Village Voice columnist Michael Musto, who, in an otherwise very good interview, lumps bloggers entirely into a category of people who are competing with him. (MW)
CHEERS to ESPN.com's Roy Peter Clark for standing up to University of Florida football coach Urban Meyer, coach of one of the nation's top programs, for bullying an Orlando Sentinel reporter with threats to throw him out of practice. (MW)
REGARDS to actress Chloe Sevigny for throwing the Onion AV Club under the bus after they quoted her as saying that the last season of her show Big Love was "awful." (MW)
CHEERS to AV Club interviewer Sean O'Neal for posting the audio of his talk with Sevigny to prove that he simply wrote what she said. (MW)
CHEERS and REGARDS to the Cleveland Plain Dealer for its handling of a prickly situation involving a commenter on its website. On the one hand, good on them for exposing potential judicial corruption and dealing with some outright bad behavior. On the other, way to have a tremendous chilling effect on online discourse, such as it is. (MW and KL)

How to Use Locator
Contact Us
How to Use Locator
Getting Started
Install Locator from the Android Marketplace on to your Android device.
Ensure your GPS option is switched ON
Open the Locator application by touching the Locator icon in your list of applications
Finding Out Where Someone Is
: The phone that you are trying to find the location of must also have Locator installed, or you will not get a reply.
1. Either enter their phone number in the field provided or select them from your Contacts by pressing the "Select Contact" button. Below is an example picture of the Contacts Selection screen
2. If the contact has more than one phone, you are next asked to select which phone you wish to find the location of as shown in the following picture.
3. Selecting the phone will take you back to the main Locator screen and will show the contact picture, name and phone number as shown in the next picture.
4. Pressing the "Send Request" button will send an SMS to the phone that you have selected. It may take a long time for the SMS to be delivered (for example if the other phone is turned off) and it can sometimes take a while for the GPS on the other phone to work out where it is, so it may take a while for the location to appear.
5. When the other phone has determined its position it will send an SMS back to you containing its location. Locator will read this SMS and display their location on a map, an example of which is shown below. If you have closed Locator before the location is received, simply re-open Locator and it will display the map instead of the main screen.
Using the Map
1. If you touch the map, the zoom in and out buttons will be displayed at the bottom. Pressing on the "+" button will zoom in and pressing on the "-" button will zoom out. You can move the map around by dragging it with your finger. Pressing the "Options" button on your phone while the map is displayed will pop-up a menu of options as can be seen in the next picture.
2. Pressing "Toggle Satellite" will turn the satellite image on and off on the map. By default the satellite image is on as shown above but turning it off just leaves the roads as can be seen in the picture below.
3. Pressing "Toggle Roads" will highlight the roads in blue. You may need to select this option a few times, but the effect is shown below.
4. The final map option is "Recentre". If you have moved the map around, pressing this button will recentre the map on the last reported phone location.
To leave the map screen, simply press the "Back" button on your phone.
Receiving a Request
1. When you receive an SMS containing a Locator request from someone who is neither on your whitelist nor your blacklist, Locator will add an icon to the status bar at the top of your phone display. The Locator icon is the green target in the top left of this picture.
2. Pull the status bar down with your finger to see the individual entries...
.......and touch the Locator row. This will bring up the Locator confirmation screen.
3. This will show you who has sent the request (if they are one of your contacts) and let you choose what you want to do with the request.
To send a map with your location on just this once, press the "Send Location" button.
To add this person to your Whitelist and send your location, press the "Add to Whitelist" button.
To ignore this request and not send your location this time, press the "Ignore Request" or back button on your phone.
To add this person to your blacklist so that Locator ignores all requests from this person press the "Add to Blacklist" button. Unless you subsequently remove them from your blacklist, Locator will never send your location to them and will not even inform you that they have sent you a location request.
