Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was first observed on May 30, 1868 in order to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers. It was declared a national holiday by Congress in 1971 to be celebrated on the last Monday in May. I find it so strange that people will wish you a "Happy Memorial Day". Kind of an oxymoron having "happy" associated with a solemn holiday when we are remembering our veterans, especially those that have died in service to their country defending our freedoms.
The National Moment of Remembrance was also established by Congress and it asks Americans, wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day, to pause in an act of national unity for one minute. Congress chose 3 p.m. because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday.
This year in Washington (DC) there are a lot of public events that anyone can attend as long as you don't mind the crowds. There is a concert sponsored by PBS tonight on the South Lawn of the Capital, there is a parade of marching bands and veterans from all 50 states on Monday, and wreath laying ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial National Memorial. In my opinion, the most impressive gathering is the 21st Rolling Thunder.
This year, Rolling Thunder expects to break last year's participation of over 400,000 motorcycles with almost 825,000 particpants in their weekend-long get-together. I had never heard of Rolling Thunder until I moved to the area. Now, I look forward to the bikes, the noise, and the characters that begin rolling into the Metro DC area beginning the Friday before Memorial Day Monday. The riders are almost all decked out in leather with a U.S. flag somewhere on their clothing and on their bikes. They are loud! And, you can't miss them. I live about 25 miles outside of the District, and this morning I could hear a large group about 1/2 mile away gunning their engines as they make the trek into Washington. (And, yes, Clover heard the Thunder, thought it was a real storm coming, ran inside and up the stairs and hid in the closet for a half-hour.)
Taken from the Rolling Thunder website:
"The major function of Rolling Thunder®, Inc. is to publicize POW-MIA issues: To educate the public that many American prisoners of war were left behind after all previous wars and to help correct the past and to protect future veterans from being left behind should they become prisoners of war-missing in action."
Can you imagine what 400,000 motorcycles, mostly Harley-Davidsons, sound like when they rev up their engines all at the same time?
It sounds like thunder.

How are two glasses of wine related to public healthcare corruption and crony capitalism? While this instance of Big Pharma giving itself a gift through government mandates comes from the other side of the ocean, it gives us an idea of what we can expect from Obamacare.
Here is how the story begins in the Telegraph:
Hundreds of thousands of people drinking half a bottle of wine a night are to be put on the first ever drug to help reduce alcohol consumption, under plans announced by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.
Men drinking three pints of beer and women drinking two large glasses of wine per night and who do not cut down within two weeks should be prescribed a new drug, Nice has said.
There are an estimated 750,000 people in the UK who would be eligible for nalmefene who show no overt symptoms associated with their drinking.
The plans mean GPs will actively ask patients about their alcohol consumption even when they see them for unrelated health matters such as low mood, inability to sleep, diabetes and high blood pressure.
The drug, which costs £3 per tablet, is taken when people feel the urge to have a drink and stops them from wanting more than one.
Do the math. 750,000 people who need at least one tablet a night to not drink that second glass of wine will add up to a potentially huge amount of money going every year into the pockets of the makers of nalmefene.
The news story estimates that it will cost £288 million every year. That is the equivalent to over $465,062,000.
[See also, "Shaking Down Fat People: Obamacare Doctors Conspire To Herd Money Into Weight-Loss Scams."]
Someone will be making a lot of money.
It must be great to make up a new disease. Then you can get the government to dictate that doctors act as your sales force all over the nation. They recruit your customers and the government pays for the product that you sell them. Your customers get it for "free."
No wonder CEOs and others love public healthcare!

Fiddlehead Pizza
Adam May 2nd, 2009
Filed under: Life and Everything Else
Tags: food, photography
For the few weeks in spring that they are available, fiddleheads are a real treat. I find their flavor kind of like asparagus, but a bit nuttier.
This pizza is a whole-wheat crust topped with pesto (some of the last of the 3 gallons I made in 2007), fiddleheads, portobello mushrooms, red bell pepper, and mozzarella.

When life closes one door, it opens another. And hopefully, that door will be a quick drive up Interstate 35.
"Game of Thrones" fans avoiding spoilers, read no further. Kristian Nairn — the actor who played the late Hodor on the HBO drama — is also a DJ. According to Guide Live, Nairn might be playing a set at a Dallas club named The Door.
This sounds like a spoof, and well, that's all it is right now. Remember those fake concert announcements sweeping Facebook? One Dallasite put Hodor and the Deep Ellum venue together for a faux event. But as Guide Live reports, fiction might become fact:
"Though it has yet to be confirmed, Russell Hobbs, owner of The Door, said 'quite possible' Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor on Game of Thrones, will be DJing in Dallas this summer."
If you're caught up on your "Thrones," you know that Hodor met his end staving off a horde of stampeding White Walkers. In a twist of time travel and psychic shenanigans, viewers found out the gentle giant's name, also the only word he was capable of uttering, was just a contraction for cries of "Hold the door!"
When not carting Bran Stark around Westeros, Nairn sometimes plays "Rave of Thrones" sets using music from the show.

The exhibit is organized in cooperation with noted curator and director of the non-profit alternative art space White Columns, Matthew Higgs.
"The Feverish Library" brings together a number of artworks whose premises are predicated on the book as a conceptual, psychological, and cultural form. In some pieces, the actual physicality of the book is addressed. The works collectively constitute a meditation on the page, book jackets, design, and content. Some works are arguably a fond or surreal portrait of pulp, a disconcerting look at hoarding and a general nostalgia or malaise regarding the impending obsolescence of the printed medium. And like the expansive and confused Borgesian library, the works in the show will be densely layered.
The Friedrich Petzel Gallery also asked thirty of their artist to bring a copy of their favorite book to be on view during the exhibition.
I'm starting to feel warm.
If you are anywhere near New York City in the next couple of days it might be worth a visit.

The CD Copy Protection Morons
The poor sucker in my wife's family that drew my name for the annual christmas gift exchange bought me a copy of Fiona Apple's new album, Extraordinary Machine (which is an excellent album, BTW, and took all my self control not to purchase earlier). As it turns out, my wife had also bought this CD for me. Her cousin's hubby bought me the DualDisc version, while my wife bought me the normal version. I was trying to decide which one to open, and which to try to return to some random music store, unopened, when something caught my eye on the Dual Disc:
* The audio side of this disc does not conform to CD specificiations and therefore will not play on some CD and DVD players
Lame lame lame, I thought: I guess I'll just open the normal CD and rip that one. Then I got looking some more. The brilliant people who decided not to use Red book Audio on the CD side of the Dual Disc had the excellent foresight to include 48KHz PCM audio of the music on the DVD side. This isn't DVD Audio (which I don't have the ability to play), but it's also not the 192Kbps AC3 encoded stuff like the recent Nine Inch Nails or Foo Fighters albums. So, I spun up DVD Shrink, decoded the DVD to a folder, cranked up BeSweet and de-muxed the LPCM as a WAV file. Now, I'm happily listening to a purely digital copy of the album at 48KHz instead of CD's 44.1KHz. Soon it will be sitting on my audio server in lossless TTA format. And, hey, while I was at it, I pulled the audio tracks from all the other goodies on that DVD. I love the music industry :-)
BTW - I was curious, so I tested this CD is all my CD playing devices. It won't play in any of my DVD players or DVD ROM's in computers (that's 8 different devices). It also won't play in either of my vehicles. My Civic has a Aiwa MP3 CD player (one of the first - it's about 3 years old). My Oddysey has a Pioneer DVD player also capable of playing MP3's. It won't play in my daughters 1 year old MP3 capable CD player. It does play in 3 other CD players (all audio-only CD players), but two of them skip & repeat at random times. I'd prefer a rootkit, since it won't install on my x64 OS :-)

"China is vital to our future", the Chancellor George Osborne told the Tories at their conference, but he went on to admit that but it's "not growing as strongly as it was". And, he added, "the Eurozone is still very weak".
So where else do we look to shore up our not-so-brilliant trade performance?
The answer could lie in something we heard David Cameron say last May as he was touring Asia: "I want us to be nothing less than the modern world's most open, trade-minded nation. To do that, we must tap into markets outside Europe; to look to the Commonwealth and beyond."
That's a change of music. Until now the great new markets of the modern Commonwealth have not had much of a mention at the top. But with Europe stagnating and China slowing, could it be that the top advisors and mandarins in Whitehall have at last grasped a fundamental fact about new global trade patterns – namely, that despite their understandable preoccupation with EU renegotiation the big economic prizes for Britain in the future lie elsewhere?
If so, that's a welcome step towards realism. The European market obviously remains important but it is in the expanding markets of Asia, Africa and even Latin America that our export underperformance has to be reversed and in which Britain will either survive or succumb. And while China is obviously the colossus amongst these much less notice has hitherto given to the 53-nation Commonwealth which, while it has many small and developing states, also embraces some of the fastest growing economies and most lucrative new consumer markets on earth.
India, Australia, Malaysia, Canada, Singapore, South Africa, Nigeria are emerging economic players in an increasingly networked world. And in turn they form the gateways to the other rising markets and new trade routes taking shape. Some people believe that India could yet prove the winning tortoise to the Chinese hare. Either way the UK would be foolish to miss out.
It is true that the Commonwealth is not a traditional trade 'bloc' and nor should it be seen as such. And it is true that the bulk of our official trade policy is in the hands of the EU. But as Brussels officials slog away trying to put together elaborate trade deals with other regions a different world is unfolding round them which they hardly seem to recognise.
Thanks to the digital age and the stunning advances in almost total global connectivity modern trade is vastly more knowledge-laden and information-intensive than even a few years ago. The picture of export and import being solely a matter of giant container ships, manufactures and raw materials now has to be revised. Services of every kind and digitalised information now form a larger part of international business than ever before. UK services are world leaders. International trade links and supply chains have grown infinitely and rapidly more complex, outdating and invalidating the 20th century pattern of trade blocs and protected regions.
To all of these new challenges the modern Commonwealth network is ideally suited, not by any imposed design but by evolution and adaptation. And it is of course the common language, understanding and sheer affinity of outlook between Commonwealth countries which links Commonwealth markets, allows the communication of complex ideas and significantly lowers barriers to the conduct of this new kind of business.
Intra-commonwealth trade which shrank steadily from the 1950s to the 1990s, is now rising, and there are strong grounds for expecting it to continue rapidly in these completely transformed world business conditions.
For Britain the importance of these new patterns cannot be over-emphasised. The great British strength nowadays, in the information age, lies in the immense ingenuity, novelty and sheer creative power of our service sector. Success in manufacturing and services are all woven together. In almost every professional field an extraordinary and dense weave of live, instant and continuous intra-Commonwealth relationships has now emerged, thanks to the universal use of English and the way we are all connected at the click of a button.
Importantly too, as vital and rich new trade routes and supply chains open up, their protection, stability, and the friendliness of the regions they cross suddenly leap up the scale of importance for the security and defence dispositions of many Commonwealth states. This should become a growing priority.
Britain is correct to woo China early, but we should not put Britain's future prosperity all on red. As in personal investment it is prudent to have a diverse portfolio, spread across numerous zones. The same is true for a country's trade and investment strategy. The modern Commonwealth is emerging as a key part of the new pattern. With all of the Commonwealth's advantages and underpinnings, it is becoming not just a matter of opportunities. It is becoming a matter of survival.

Once the new CEO took the company in hand, he was able to turn it around from posting annual losses to being one of the most profitable companies in the country. The tutor saw a lot of potential in the student, so he took her in hand and began helping her understand her coursework.

Just thought I would show a couple of small gift ideas that are great for children (think church or school). This first one is a printable download from Laurie Furnell and it is free! Instead of a knitted hat I did ear mufsf using pipe cleaners and pom poms. We actually made kits for the kids at church to put these together for themselves!
Below is another handout I made for children at another church group. Because I wanted these children to receive something more spiritual, I machine embroidered candy cane holders. Each one took 15 minutes to make so be sure you give yourself enough time. Since I made 28 it took 7 hours, but I broke it up over several days. The download for this project was Embroidery Garden's Yahoo group and is free too!
Both handouts went over very well but then who doesn't like the gift of candy!!!!

This past Thursday, Pope Francis appealed to "every person living on this planet" to come together to tackle climate change.
"Once we start to think about the kind of world we are leaving to future generations, we look at things differently; we realize that the world is a gift which we have freely received and must share with others," he said.
Climate change is one of the defining moral and ethical issues of our time. The poor, and those living in developing countries, are the most at risk for increased flooding, food insecurity, and climate conflict.
In December, world leaders will meet in Paris at the U.N. Climate Summit, tasked with reaching an agreement to cut global carbon emissions. Help us build grassroots momentum for climate action at this Summit:
Sign the petition, calling on world leaders to reach a meaningful climate agreement in Paris.
At the end of the 82-page encyclical letter, LAUDATO SI', meaning "Praise Be," Pope Francis offered 2 prayers: "A prayer for our earth," and "A Christian prayer in union with creation," explaining:
"The first, we can share with all who believe in a God who is the all-powerful Creator, while in the other we Christians ask for inspiration to take up the commitment to creation set before us by the Gospel of Jesus."
|A prayer for our earth
All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe
and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty.
Fill us with peace, that we may live
as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
O God of the poor,
help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth,
so precious in your eyes.
Bring healing to our lives,
that we may protect the world and not prey on it,
that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.
Touch the hearts
of those who look only for gain
at the expense of the poor and the earth.
Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,
to be filled with awe and contemplation,
to recognize that we are profoundly united
with every creature
as we journey towards your infinite light.
We thank you for being with us each day.
Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle
for justice, love and peace.
|A Christian prayer in union with creation
Father, we praise you with all your creatures.
They came forth from your all-powerful hand;
they are yours, filled with your presence and your tender love.
Praise be to you!
Son of God, Jesus,
Holy Spirit, by your light
Triune Lord, wondrous community of infinite love,
God of love, show us our place in this world

By now everybody knows the Braai Day song, Our Heritage, performed by various South Africans artists namely Die Heuwels Fantasties, JR, HHP and Soweto Gospel Choir. What you did not know, and what I did not know either, is that there is a rave remix of the song available. Hunter Kennedy, guitarist of Die Heuwels Fantasties was emailed by a gentleman by the name of Walter Davidson Anderson. David went to the effort of making a remix of the song. Hunter promptly emailed this song to Pierre Greeff, lead singer of Die Heuwels, and Pierre emailed it to me. According to Pierre this style of music is known as "french rave".
To download the "french rave" version of the Braai Day song, take this link. The download is free, obviously. If you are a DJ or other type of musical person and need the mp3 in a bigger format, you can email Walter Davidson Anderson at email@example.com and he will send it to you in a bigger format. However, he assures me the download here is sufficient for normal people with normal speakers.
If you still have not downloaded the multi award winning original Braai Day song, "Our Heritage", you can downloaded the mp3, for free here, before or after you have watched the music video here.
The official remix of "Our Heritage" is currently in production. I asked rapper JR, who performs in the original song, and is also currently quite famous for his songs "Show Dem" and "Make da Circle Bigger" to take charge of this process. As soon as its ready, it will be available right here, to download for free. With all these famous people doing their bit to have South Africa Braai4Heritage on 24 September, you should probably ask yourself at some stage whether you are doing your bit.

Family-Based Immigration Lawyer in New Rochelle, Westchester, New York
If you need advice about the best ways to obtain a visa or green card based on a familial relationship, Dryer, Dryer & Alarcon, PC in New Rochelle, Westchester, New York is here to assist you and answer all your questions. We have a vast experience helping United States citizens and lawful permanent residents to obtain immigration benefits for their family members overcome obstacles.
Contact Us Online or Call 914 636-5657 to schedule a Consultation with a New Rochelle, Westchester, NY Family Immigration Lawyer
Family based immigration: Overview and Process
Persons who have a familial relationship with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) may seek the benefit of becoming an LPR status through a petition filed by a family member or, under certain limited circumstances, through self-petitioning.
In most cases, in order to obtain permanent residency through a family relationship there must be a willing U.S. citizen or LPR (a "Petitioner") who is seeking the admission of foreign national. There are exceptions to this petition requirement, including where the foreign national has been the victim of extreme cruelty or battery by the family member who otherwise would be the petitioner; or, in some limited cases, where the petitioner has died
Family-based immigration involves a multi-step process, where delays are common, due to the shortage of immigrant visa availability. Therefore, petitioning relatives are encouraged to start the process as soon as possible.
There is a limited number ("quotas") of Immigrant Visas ("Green Cards") available within a fiscal year. Whether a person is can apply to become an LPR is controlled by whether he or she can satisfy the quota requirements. The law exempts from the quota "immediate relatives" defined as the "children, spouses and parents" of a U.S. citizen; when a child petitions for his or her parent, he or she must be at least 21 years of age. Other relationships, which are subject to a quota system, are divided into family-based "preferences." The family preferences include four categories:
- First Preference: unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens;
- Second Preference: spouses and children of LPRs (2A); and unmarried sons and daughters of LPRs (2B);
- Third Preference: married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens;
- 8 USC §1153(a)(3) and
- Fourth Preference: brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens.
The availability of visas under the quota system is determined by the person's "priority date." A priority date is that date on which a person initially submitted documentation establishing eligibility for one of the preference categories under the immigrant visa scheme.
In the case of a family-based petition, the priority date would be the date on which the petitioner submitted the application showing that there existed a qualifying familial relationship with the beneficiary. Therefore, it is very to file the petition as soon as possible to "lock" a priority date
To summarize, if you have a parent, spouse, son, daughter or sibling who is an U.S Citizen or a parent or spouse who is a Lawful permanent resident of the United States you may be eligible to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States. However, please be advised, that this is complex area of law, where there are a lot of exceptions and eligibility requirement that should be assessed before stating a case to avoid pitfalls that could derail your case. Thus, please contact us and schedule a consultation to discuss you particular case with one of our attorneys. During the consultation, the attorney will analyze your case and discuss all the immigration options that you or your relative may have.

IT HONESTLY DOESN'T MATTER... how many cute animal videos you plunk in front of or the number of adorable gifs featuring a frog and a bunny who are friends that you watch or the amount of animated specials about furry woodland creatures you consume. Seeing a brother-sister pair of six-and-a-half-week-old lion cubs getting a bottle just about tops 'em all. But this is no Internet creation or the creative work of a deft meme maker; the lion cubs really do exist at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. And, unlike many a baby animal who stays off view for a number of months, the twosome can be admired each day, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the park's animal care center. There is, however, a caveat: "the cubs average about 20 hours of sleep per day." Wise lions. So, nope, you may not witness one of their bottle-feedings, and you may see them curled up into small lion balls, but figure the chance to see a lion cub, in person, doesn't come around all too often. The park reports that both cubs, who weigh in at 9 and 12 pounds, "are becoming more agile" and playful. So fingers, or claws, crossed that they're up and frolicking when you arrive to have a peek.
OKAY... we might have fibbed a little. There is a cute animal video to share, and it involves the tumbly pair. And share it we shall. Can't get down to the animal park as fast as you like? Get your feline fix now.

Innovation Supportive Leadership and Performance Happiness
What is the secret of one of the world's most successful companies? Google is well known as a best-practice for creating an extraordinary climate for innovation and performance happiness. In this course you will discover the key variables of leadership, their relation to innovation and how they stimulate workplace happiness and increased performance. Supported by a mix of lectures and company visits, students will work together and analyze 'the Google way'. During the second week of the course students will be applying their newly found insights, getting out the door and working together with real companies in the Utrecht area.
The business world is changing. New regulations, competitive markets and globalization are just a few of the examples of the always and fast-paced evolution within business. Experts are in agreement that nowadays innovation is a key driver for growth, and recent research by McKinsey found that no less than 94% of senior executives feel that people and corporate culture are the most important drivers of innovation.

In the wake of the latest school shooting in Florida, and a recent shooting incident in northern Westchester, some high school students in the Hudson Valley are organizing a walkout as part of a national campaign to raise gun control awareness.
Students at Carmel High School are planning to join others throughout the country at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 14 as part of the National School Walkout, which is "to protest Congress' inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods."
"We need action. Students and allies are organizing the national school walkout to demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence at our schools, on our streets and in our homes and places of worship," according to organizers of the national movement.
"Students and staff have the right to teach and learn in an environment free from the worry of being gunned down in their classrooms or on their way home from school. Parents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day."
In Carmel, dozens of students have vowed to participate in the walkout, "because it is time for change." They join students in Brewster, who have also announced their intention to participate in the walkout.
"We are coming together to walk out of our school with signs in solidarity," Carmel High School senior Anne Pozner and Taylor Smith, who organized the walkout, said in an email. "The reason for this walkout is to make it known to Congress that we will no longer lay quiet as they sit and ignore the obvious need for gun law reform in our nation.
"We are participating in this national event because it is time for change. The walkout is a call to action to our government officials in Congress to do something before another tragedy occurs."

Well January I'd like to say that you will be missed but I'd be lying. Who thought this cold gray month was a good idea anyway? So since it's Friday and since it's February and since we are inching our way closer to spring with each passing day I've decided to bring a little life into the house in the form of a $6 bunch of tulips.
It's no secret that I love to pick up flowers at the grocery store while food shopping. They make me happy and if that isn't reason enough to spend $6 then the shot in the arm of springtime in the living is definitely what the doctor ordered.
I love tulips because they're just so bright and fresh. I usually opt for super bright colorful bunches of flowers but this time I chose to go with a solid white bouquet. I think the solid color feels elegant. It also give me that dash of white I've been Ray Ban outlet craving until I muster up the energy to paint the living room.
It's beginning to feel like spring inside, now if only the weather would cooperate.

It's just three months old, but Apple Watch is already the most tangible, well-known, and successful piece of wearable technology yet to hit the market. Apple is tight-lipped on how the product has performed since launch in April, saying only that it's "exceeded expectations" and that they "feel really great about how we did". Research backs that up. Wired estimates that Apple Watch has sold as well as the original iPhone, while the product has received a 97% approval rating from customers, according to a survey by Wristly. That puts it out ahead of both iPad (91% upon release) and iPhone (92%).
On the other side of the tech giant divide is Google, whose Google Glass continues to founder. Sales have been slow, reputation has nosedived, and in early July, the company's Tony Fadell admitted that they may have made the product available too early. Comparing the rollout to the beta testing phase Google software undergoes, he said: "If you are only doing services based on electrons [like software], you can iterate quickly, test it, and modify it and get it right. But when you are dealing with actual atoms – hardware – and you have to get manufacturing lines and it takes a year or more to develop that product, you better understand what it is and what it's trying to do and specifically what it's not going to do."
Google suspended sales of Glass in January, and though it's set to return in its second iteration in 2016, a number of questions remain. How can the product find a practical, day-to-day application beyond mere novelty? How can it sell a user interface that's entirely new and untested for most customers? And how can it persuade customers to remove technology from their hands and plant it on their face? Answers are not easy to come by, and even though Google is looking for ways to solve them (rumours suggest that Google Glass 2 may be enterprise only), a truly robust, complete product seems a long way off.
It's easy to think that the wearable technology revolution has fizzled out then. After all, if Google can't get it right, who can? But the leap to wearable technology is a sizeable one. Take up on smartphones and tablets was quick because both, fundamentally, deliver the same functionality and user interface as a desktop or laptop just in a smaller, more portable format. A tablet is a small, flat laptop, a smartphone is an even smaller tablet. You still type, swipe, scroll, and tap your way through any website you're navigating, you just do it in a slightly different way with only slightly different changes in effort.
Glass, on the other hand, is such a monumental step in a different direction that take-up was always going to be slow. This isn't just a question of the user adapting to a different piece of hardware (though that too is a significant hurdle for the technology's take-up), but one of how the user interacts with the technology: through gestures rather than clicks or taps. Technology like this has been in use for some years, but primarily on computer games or in the high-end tech environment. Rarely has it been brought to the mass market on something that the consumer is being asked to take seriously as more than an entertainment.
As if to prove this point, the universal appeal that Glass has lacked seems to be the motivating factor behind Apple Watch's early success. "I was hearing a few key things," Wristly analyst Ben Bajarin told the Daily Mail, "early adopters were highly critical, but the average stay at home mom couldn't stop talking about it." This makes sense. Early adopters still constitute a relatively niche market: a product aimed at them, like Glass, won't gain sufficient traction. A wider market is easier to impress, if the application and ease of use is in place. "What I think we showed was that once you put normal consumers into the mix that weighted it towards the high end of satisfaction," Bajarin added. "The wearable technology that has succeeded are those that have a clear application."
This is true of other wearable successes. Activity trackers such as Fitbit and Nike+ FuelBand have taken off because they've perfected a clear use, allowing customers to track their exercise data, which they can take advantage of to enhance and improve their workout. At the start of the year, Forbes estimated that Fitbit was outselling even Apple, growing revenue by 175% year-on-year in 2014. The smartwatch poses a threat to Fitbit's dominance, as do its multitude of rivals, but with new Fitbit products launching every year, and the company continuing to define and dominate the market with its clear application and simple UI, it's well-armed to put up a firm fight.
Wherever you look, it's always the same story. Ease of use and/or a clear, practical application equals success. Even Glass has found a home in the medical profession, where its hands-free interface and ability to connect users are beneficial for both improved patient care and student training. It's even formed the basis of a start-up by a Sanford medical student. "The whole goal is to remove the hassle of paperwork, of documentation, from the physician," third year student and Augmendix co-founder Pelu Tran said. "We do that by giving them Google Glass. When they wear it they can stream the conversation directly to our service, and it gets documented into their electronic medical records." Other such breakthroughs are sure to follow.
Though wearable technology has been around since the calculator watch in the 1980s, it's still very much in its infancy. As such, it's still far too early to judge its long-term viability and its value to both customers and merchants. However, despite the early struggles of Google Glass, the successes enjoyed by the likes of Fitbit and Apple Watch bode well. Portable technology's present is still very much in the palm of our hands, but the future is likely wrapped around our wrist.

Maybe a Mutt or Mongrel
July 31st is Mutts Day.
What is a mutt, anyway? Is it the same creature as a mongrel?
Traditionally, a mutt is a mixed-breed dog, also known as a mongrel or a Heinz 57 pooch. Canine breed enthusiasts may bark about their favorite pedigrees, but many dog lovers actually prefer those of assorted or even uncertain parentage.
Our family, for example, recently added an adorable and sweet puppy to our fold (see photo). We know she comes from several different breeds: Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Labrador and God-only-knows what else.
Etymologists trace the word "mutt" to the 18th Century term "muttonhead," which referred to slow-witted or foolish person.
Perhaps this meaning is linked to the nickname of cartoonist Bud Fisher's syndicated cartoon strip, titled "Mutt and Jeff," which started in 1907 and still reprints in some American newspapers.
Is a mutt a muttonhead?
We beg to differ. Our mutt is a dear dog, not a dolt. And she is the smartest, most trainable up we have ever had.
Who's your best friend on July 31st?
By the way, July 31st is also Friendship Day, a doggedly delightful reason for tossing a Frisbee or just hanging out with a favorite pup … especially a marvelous mutt.

Elie Saab L'Eau Couture (from £31) is a definite departure from the original. It is light and sweet, whilst definitely retaining the Elie Saab backbone. It is very much a more wearable option than the original, which does not feature in my collection, and one I prefer at that.
L'Eau Couture has a minimal note pyramid, with green almond top notes, orange blossom at the heart and a base of musk and vanilla. Created to mimic the wraiths of fabric seen at the fashion house's high-end couture shows, L'Eau Couture is the veil of spring. It has such an element of luminosity that simple oozes elegance and prettiness. It feels so luxurious and well-blended.
L'Eau Couture is a rather linear scent, but it makes up for it with its gorgeousness. It is not your average floral, evoking ethereal images. In it's presence, all I want to wear are pastels, floaty chiffon dresses and well... couture. If this is Elie Saab's goal with L'Eau Couture, I feel they have definitely succeeded. This scent will definitely be making its way into my fragrance wardrobe. I only had a sample of this, and plan to buy the full-size bottle as soon as I can!
What is your favourite scent?

About / Contact
My name is Nathan Haas and I'm an interactive and print designer at Sandstorm Design in the windy city. I was born and raised in the "Small Wonder" state Delaware. [Insert "Wayne's World" Delaware joke here]. I went to school and played lacrosse in Delaware for two years before realizing I needed to pursue a career in visual arts. This lead me to the University of Tennessee Knoxville where I earned my BFA in Graphic Design. While at UT my main focus of study was in print design. It wasn't until my internship after graduation that I realized the true potential of pixels. The combination of my print and interactive background gives me a unique view of design possibilities.

Reasons That Your Gums May Be Bleeding
It happens to everyone eventually -- they are brushing their teeth when they notice that their gums are bleeding. This many not be a concern if it happens rarely, since the cause is likely from a small injury in the mouth. If you notice blood often, though, you may have a more serious condition. The following can help you understand why your gums may be bleeding.
The main cause of bleeding gums is plaque buildup. Plaque forms on the entire tooth surface, but brushing tends to remove it from everywhere except for along the gum line. The plaque can then begin to extend beneath the gum line, creating a pocket for bacteria and gum infection. This weakening of the gums combined with possible infection is what causes the bleeding each time you brush. Left untreated, gingivitis or periodontal disease can develop -- which can lead to tooth and bone loss. Regular cleanings to remove plaque buildup, combined with daily flossing and brushing, is the best treatment option.
Health conditions
Some health conditions and medications can increase the chances of bleeding gums as well. Pregnant women, for example, often experience bleeding gums but the condition disappears after giving birth. Diabetes can also affect gum health, and many dentists provide special care and hygiene regimens for those with this disease. Those on blood thinners may also experience increased bleeding of the gums. If you suspect medication or a health condition is the cause of the bleeding, verify that this is a plausible side effect with your doctor. Then, consult with your dentist to see if you need to change your dental care routine in any way to account for the effects of your medication on your oral health.
Updated routine
If you are noticing a lot of bleeding that has begun abruptly, then look first to your routine before getting worried. Have you recently started flossing or changed your floss? If so, your gums will need a few days to adjust to the changes. The same is true if you recently got a new toothbrush or upgraded to an electric toothbrush. If bleeding continues for more than a week, then it's time to see your dentist since the adjustment period should only last a few days for those with healthy gums.
If in doubt or if bleeding is unexplained, make an appointment with a local family dentist. Gum disease or infection must be treated early if they are the cause of the bleeding.

For the last couple of months, I have been working on a project to photograph the common Cuckoo, one of nature's most notorious birds.
These are images of an adult male cuckoo I photographed over a period of two months in England. The following shots depict the male cuckoo in its traditional territorial display pose of dropped wings and raised tail.
Beloved as nature's traditional herald of spring and summer, Cuckoos have held a place in the hearts of many for centuries.
The adults arrive in Britain in late March or April after 4000 journey from their wintering quarters in Africa. They stay only a few short months to breed, departing in July or August, with young birds leaving a month or so later.
I had a go at trying some flight shots with this bird. It was all a bit hit and miss but I got a couple of front lit shots I was reasonably happy with.
By June the meadow making up part of the cuckoo's territory was carpeted with some beautiful flowers making for a very pretty backdrop as the bird foraged for food.
In this next sequence of images, the cuckoo can be seen foraging for its favourite food, hairy caterpillars.
The best opportunity the site afforded undoubtedly though was for backlit images. The next sequence are by far my favourite images from the project. I love using light in this way. Initially I seemed to be the only photographer set up for backlit. By the end of the project though other photographers saw what I was getting and were persuaded to join me shooting contre-joure.
One other benefit of shooting backlit is the light highlights dramatically the spray as the cuckoo flays its prey to get rid of the harmful toxins.
The best session was on the cuckoo's final evening at the site before it left to make it's arduous journey back to Africa. I love this next sequence of the bird coming onto the perch and the different wing positions.
Contrary to their name, the Common cuckoo is in sharp decline most likely as a result in the crash in the butterfly and insect population they feed on as a result of the agricultural industry's insecticides. The recent population decline makes this extraordinary bird a Red List species.
Based on the latest scientific research this Cuckoo has around a 60% chance of making it back next year from its home in the Congo where it spends the majority of the year. Godspeed.
The project was great fun and a real privilege to be able to create images of such an extraordinary bird. I met some lovely people along the way many of whom have become good friends, including Lesley, Marcus, Paul, Graham, Dan, Gary, Jerry and John to name but a few. It was nice to meet you all. This blog is dedicated to you.

Acupuncture Services
Acupuncture has been an essential part of medicine and healing for thousands of years. Promoting the body's natural healing capabilities, acupuncture can be used to relieve pain, anxiety and stress while also improving overall well-being.
Acupuncture Treatment in a Medical Setting
Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals that can change the experience of pain or activate the body's own healing systems. During an acupuncture treatment with Franciscan Health, hair-thin, sterile needles are placed in various pressure points (called acupoints) throughout the body. The needle placement is usually painless and well tolerated by most patients.
Medical acupuncture incorporates acupuncture treatment in a medical healthcare setting. Our practitioners combine knowledge of Western medicine with acupuncture treatment philosophy.
Acupuncture can improve overall physical and emotional well-being. It is also used to help with a variety of issues including:
- Arthritis
- Chronic pain
- Stress
- Chronic fatigue
- Side effects from cancer treatment
- Insomnia
- Infertility
- Smoking cessation
- Sports injuries
- Headaches
- Alcohol and drug addictions
- Weight loss
- Restless leg syndrome
- Allergies

Olympus Introduces M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 Prime Lens
Hot on the heels of Panasonic's announcement of a fast aperture zoom lens comes a new prime from Olympus. The 75mm f/1.8 is designated by Olympus as a High Grade Portrait Lens, and will equate to a 150mm focal length in 35mm terms when coupled to a Micro Four Thirds camera body.
What makes it special? That bright f/1.8 aperture, for starters. The lens is comprised of ten elements in nine groups with three ED (Extra-low dispersion) elements in place to correct for chromatic aberration. It uses Olympus' MSC Move and Still Compatible auto focusing mechanism to reduce AF noise during video recording. The lens itself measures 2.7 inches in length with a 50mm diameter front glass element.
Pricing and Availability
Premium lenses don't come cheap – the M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 will sell for $899.99 and should be available this summer.

hCity Center DC broke ground in 2011. Three years later, it opened with luxury retail shops, condos, apartments and restaurants. On May 4, Justin and I swung by the area to support local vendors partaking in the National Retail Federation's event. The one-day celebration included a DJ, pop-up shops and food trucks.
Since I popped over after work and it rained all morning, I sported my Adidas Originals jacket that Justin bought some time ago. Underneath, I styled a knee-length dress with this white Ivy Park crewneck from Beyonce's recent collection (you can read more about how I added it to my collection here).
Tons of vendors came out and showcased their best products. I ended up hopping into the Street Boutique Fashion Truck and bought a beautiful blue skirt showcased on the vehicle's front door. I also grabbed three jars of fruit ketchup from 'Chups and I've been smothering this on a piece of toast every morning for breakfast. These sauces taste excellent with pretzel sticks too!
I finally tried District Doughnut's creme brulee treat! I watched as an associate torched the top into a crisp beauty. On a rather cold day in DC, this warmed my heart with it's sugary sweetness.
My final takeaway from Retail's Night Out was FLOR, a company that offers carpet squares so you can create beautiful patterns. I loved all the fun spring colors and think it'll make the perfect edition to my hardwood floors in my apartment. You can stop by their store location in Georgetown to take a look yourself.
Thanks to the National Retail Federation for a fun evening!
Jacket: Adidas Originals.
Crewneck: Ivy Park.
Dress: American Apparel.
Sneakers: Fierce Puma Trainers.

The July edition of Silicon Valley Startup Poker was a hit!
Thanks to Armory for hosting us in their beautiful offices in downtown San Mateo. And thanks, as always, to our sponsors WSGR and Colliers who generously provide the food, drink, and prizes – your continuing support for founders is deeply appreciated.
A common thread in the founders at this event was long-distance relationships. It turned out that many of us have partially or fully distributed teams, and were able to trade successful strategies for staying close; in attendance was the founder of daily.co, a video conferencing tool that makes remote collaboration easier; and two players
even compared notes on how they were navigating the U.S. visa application process with their spouses.
Congrats to our winners:
1. Ben P.
2. Will H.
3. Eugene O.
Thanks to everyone who played! See you next month!

What to Look For
The most important distinction in cordless shavers is the difference between foil and rotary. While a rotary shaver is typically quieter than a foil shaver, foil shavers tend to give the closer shave. Other elements to consider include battery life, length of warranty, number of attachments and noise levels.
Common Pitfalls
The most expensive cordless shaver does not necessarily produce a higher level of quality than those shavers with a lower price tag. Many shoppers spend too much on their cordless shaver and find that the life of the battery is too short or that they do not need the extra attachments that accompany the shaver. When in the market for a cordless shaver, it is also imperative to consider the warranty timeline in case a return or exchange is necessary.
Where to Buy
Cordless shavers are available at most big box retailers and department stores, as well as discount websites. A cordless shaver should fit and adjust well to the owner's hand, and when the shaver is not on display in the store, sometimes it takes opening the box to find out whether it fits or not.
Cordless shavers can range significantly in price from $25 to upward of $300. The cost of an electric razor can vary based on whether it is adaptable to both wet and dry skin, number of attachments and clippers included, foil or rotary style, manufacturer's guarantee, and extra blades.
Insider Tips
For the novice cordless shaver purchaser, there are truly two razors that have been ranked the best by product reviewers. These include the Braun Series 7 760cc and the Panasonic Vortex HydraClean ES8109S. The Braun shaver, while one of the more expensive razors at around $250 (as of August 2010), provides what reviewers call the best shave next to a professional barber shop. The Panasonic model is designated for both wet and dry shaves, enhancing versatility of use. Its 30-day money back guarantee policy also allows the purchaser to test the shaver and measure its level of comfort.

The Brief
Watches of Switzerland is one of the world's leading retailers of luxury watches. The brief is to produce a magazine in English and Chinese that keeps the company at the forefront of an increasingly competitive market place, retaining loyal customers and engaging with new ones. Following the success of the magazine conceptualised and launched by Northstar (Calibre), Watches of Switzerland also briefed us to create weekly online editorial content to support their activities and to tell stories about the brands they represent across their network of showrooms and online. Ahead of the launch of Watches of Switzerland's flagship store on Regent Street, we were also commissioned to rethink the brand guidelines and to generate logos around the 90th anniversary of the company. Watches of Switzerland also turns to us for below-the-line content to support in-store activity. We have created servicing brochures and booklets for use by the company's concierge service and at its events. Throughout, these products all bring Watches of Switzerland's values to life, positioning it as the UK's most important luxury watch destination.
The Challenge
As well as communicating the Watches of Switzerland brand values, Calibre and the associated content we generate for the company have to make customers fall in love with luxury watches. This in turn must translate into increased footfall through stores, higher online traffic, repeat purchases, and therefore better sales.
Creative Approach
The content we generate for Watches of Switzerland is driven by the mantra: it must be beautiful, it must be intelligent, and it must engage readers emotionally. We create beautiful features using original photography art directed in-house, and commission the watch industry's leading writers to offer readers in-depth insight. This combination demonstrates Watches of Switzerland's knowledge, experience and relationship with luxury watch brands, and engages readers on an emotional and intellectual level.

Has anyone come up with a nifty solution to easily transfer from the wheelchair to the seat of a zero turn mower?
I'm plenty strong enough to transfer without any additional equipment, etc. However, in my older age I've started looking for ways to put less stress on my aging shoulders/elbows/arms. Especially after the issues I had with both elbows last year.
I've considered building a ramp that I can pull the front of the mower under. I'd park my chair on the platform of the ramp and transfer to the mower's chair. I could pull out from the ramp, do my mowing and the pull back under it when done.
Someone may have come up with a better solution that takes less material/time.
Haven't been here in a while. Hope everyone is doing well.

|Rebleeding leads to poor outcome in ultra-early craniotomy for intracerebral hemorrhage.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11376176 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: A modest benefit was previously demonstrated for hematoma evacuation within 12 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage onset. Perhaps surgery within 4 hours would further improve outcome. METHODS: Adult patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage were prospectively enrolled. Craniotomy and clot evacuation were commenced within 4 hours of symptom onset in all cases. Mortality and functional outcome were assessed at 6 months. This group of patients was compared with patients treated within 12 hours of symptom onset using the same surgical and medical protocols. RESULTS: The study was stopped after a planned interim analysis of 11 patients in the 4-hour surgery arm. Median time to surgery was 180 minutes; median hematoma volume was 40 mL; median baseline NIH Stroke Scale score was 19 and Glasgow Coma Scale score was 12. Six-month mortality was 36% and median Barthel score was 75 in survivors. Postoperative rebleeding occurred in four patients, three of whom died. A relationship between postoperative rebleeding and mortality was apparent (p = 0.03). Rebleeding occurred in 40% of the patients treated within 4 hours, compared with 12% of the patients treated within 12 hours (p = 0.11). There was a clear correlation between improved outcome and smaller postsurgical hematoma volume (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Surgical hematoma evacuation within 4 hours of symptom onset is complicated by rebleeding, indicating difficulty with hemostasis. Maximum removal of blood remains a predictor of good outcome.
