7 Tips for Creating a Mobile-Friendly WebsiteRieva Lesonsky
Consumers are going mobile, using their smartphones and tablets to do everything from looking up hot restaurants to comparing product prices in-store. But if your business website isn't mobile-friendly, you could be losing out on traffic, visits and sales. Here are seven simple tips for creating a mobile-friendly website.
- Think simple. Small mobile devices require paring down your desktop-oriented website. For instance, if you have an ecommerce site, streamline the layout by using short product names and small images. When users click, you can deliver expanded product descriptions.
- Go visual. Icons such as arrows or gears save space compared to words. Just make sure your icons are universally recognizable—don't try to reinvent the wheel.
- Use smaller images. Photos load more slowly on mobile devices, and customers in a hurry will give up in frustration. Use fewer or smaller images (keep in mind that most mobile device screens are under 200 pixels wide).
- Test legibility. Mobile users will access your site outdoors, in dim lighting, in their cars—who knows where? It's important that your typeface, design and colors be readable in a variety of settings. Test different fonts and color combinations with users of different ages.
- Avoid auto-refresh. Often, websites periodically auto-refresh. However, this causes problems on mobile devices because it makes downloading take longer.
- Don't forget the fat-fingered. It's harder to click on buttons or icons on a small mobile device than it is to use a mouse or keyboard. Make sure your clickable links, buttons or icons have enough white space around them to allow for fat-fingered fumbling.
- Try single columns. If your website has lots of type or images, you probably use multi-column layout. For a mobile device, a single-column layout is much more readable becuase users don't have to scroll side to side as well as down.
When you've got your website mobile-friendly, register it on local search engines such as Yahoo! Local, Bing, Google+ Local and Local.com so customers on the go can find you when they're doing online searches for businesses to patronize. Don't forget about the major in-car GPS navigation sites, as well as any niche sites relevant to your business, such as restaurant review or search sites.

Gearing is our unique method of training, and can be applied to any form of exercise or fitness aim.
Gearing is all about the relationship between three important metrics that apply to your workout regime. By keeping one variable constant and adjusting the other two you can ensure that each workout has an impact on specific areas of your fitness.
Although Gearing was initially designed for rowing it can be applied to any workout. Let's take a weightlifting regime as an example.
The three metrics we're concerned with are:
By fixing the weight but adjusting the reps and rest we can target muscular endurance, while fixing reps and adjusting weights and rest can help us maximise strength gains.
Base is your best time or best performance over a given time or distance that allows us to personalise your training to you.
When you join our starter program or sign up with us we will ask you to set your base time, weight or distance.

The Reformation In France During The Reign Of Henry II. (1547-1559).
Henry II., who succeeded Francis I., was more distinguished for skill in bodily exercises than for strength either of intellect or character. His lack of ability, and his surroundings, made it apparent from the first that the sceptre would be held for him rather than by him. The only question was, who among the crowd of aggressive favorites should gain the most influential and controlling positions. A short time only was needed to supply an unmistakable answer. Those at all acquainted with the course of events were made aware that the elect instruments for ruling France were an avaricious harlot and an unprincipled ecclesiastic. Diana of Poitiers, who completely eclipsed the Queen (Catharine de Medici), and the Cardinal of Lorraine were foremost in influence at the unhallowed court of Henry II. 1 Menzray says, "Almost all the vices which ruin great states, and which draw down the wrath of Heaven, reigned in his court, -- luxury, unchastity, libertinism, blasphemy, and a curiosity as foolish as impious, which prompted a search into the secrets of the future by the detestable illusions of magic arts " (iii. 227). The Constable Montmorency and the Marshal Saint-André held also a conspicuous place.
The Cardinal of Lorraine represented the house of Guise. In the preceding reign, great favors had been bestowed upon this house. Claude, Duke of Guise, had been made lieutenant of the provinces of Champagne and Burgundy, and his brother John had been loaded with ecclesiastical benefices in scandalous profusion. 2 "Even an age well accustomed to the abuse of the plurality of offices was amazed to see John of Lorraine at one and the same time Archbishop of Lyons, Rheims, and Narbonne, Bishop of Metz, Toul, Verdun, Theronenne, Luçon, Alby, and Valence, and Abbot of Gorze, Fécamp, Clugny, and Marmoutier. To gratify the French monarch, Pope Leo X. added to the dignity of the young ecclesiastic by conferring upon him the cardinal's hat a year or two before he had attained his majority" (Baird, i. 267). Claude left six sons. Francis, who succeeded as Duke of Guise, was a man of bold and martial temper. Though ambitious, he was but moderately inclined to tortuous arts, and doubtless would have made a better record, had it not been for the influence of his brother Charles, who undertook the part of chief engineer in the project of aggrandizing the house of Guise. Charles, who was made Archbishop of Rheims at an early age, and bore the title of Cardinal of Lorraine after the year 1550, was no doubt a man of exceptional talents, shrewd, ready in address, affluent in expedients. As respects morals, he would not in general rank as a man of scandalous life, at least before the standard of that age. He was rather punctilious in his attention to the outward observances of religion. But of religion as the enthronement of truth and conscience he knew nothing. He abased himself to pay court to Diana of Poitiers. In one and another instance he practised the most brazen hypocrisy. According to the ample testimony of contemporaries, he was untrustworthy in his promises, slow to reward favors, quick to resent injuries. While the insinuating arts of the Cardinal were employed to advance the house of Guise, it was greatly exalted by flattering alliances. Connection with royalty was established by the marriage of Mary, the eldest daughter of Claude, with James V. of Scotland, and later by the marriage of her daughter, the famous Queen of Scots, to the heir of Henry II. It was also a gratification to the vanity of the Guise family, if without substantial benefit, that the crown of England was claimed for the Queen of Scots. On the death of Mary Tudor, the right of Elizabeth was called in question; and Mary Stuart, with her husband Francis II., openly bore the ensigns of English royalty.
The reign of Henry II. witnessed the accession to Protestantism of some distinguished names. In Anthony of the house of Bourbon, the husband of Jeanne d'Albret and titular king of Navarre, 1 Spain under the grasping Ferdinand had absorbed most of the kingdom of Navarre. and his brother Louis, Prince of Condé, it gained adherents of royal lineage. As respects Anthony, however, his espousal of Protestantism was of little moment. He proved to be a weak and wavering convert, and shamefully deserted the cause in the hour of need. Louis was a much more decided adherent. He was not indeed a faithful exponent of the temper of French Protestantism in the heroic age. The charge is not wholly groundless, that he was a Calvinist in faith rather than in morals. 2 Mezeray, iii. 234. He was capable, nevertheless, of the noblest impulses. If he was accessible to temptation in the time of prosperity, his spirit rose in adversity and danger to the height of a splendid daring and hardihood.
Another house, less in rank than the preceding, but not less in honor, made an invaluable contribution to the Reform. Rarely has it been the good fortune of a single family to supply to any cause such a combination of virtues as appeared in the three brothers, Odet, D'Andelot, and the Admiral Coligny, of the house of Châtillon. Odet was a man of exemplary life, who broke through the restraints naturally imposed by the high office of cardinal, and openly indicated his favor toward the Protestant faith. D'Andelot combined with the traits of the brave and competent soldier a good degree of moral intrepidity and steadfastness. An indication of his spirit was given when Henry II. asked him, in consideration of the honors which had been conferred upon him, and of his own welfare, to renew his allegiance to the Roman Catholic Church. D'Andelot replied that his body, his earthly dignity, and his wealth were at the disposal of the King; but that in a question of religion, it was necessary to obey God, the superior Lord, to whom alone the soul is properly subject. 1 De Thou, Hist. Sui Temporia, Llb. XX., anno 1558. D'Andelot, it is true, was afterwards induced to render a partial acquiescence to the demands of the king; but it was a compliance which was speedily repented of, and never repeated. The Admiral Coligny ranks, by common consent, as the noblest pillar of the Protestant cause in the era of the civil wars. In him the seriousness and energy of the Calvinistic faith were finely tempered by a natural breadth and magnanimity of spirit. He was unbending in principle, without being harsh or intolerant as a general, he evinced his staunchness and ability by the unconquered resolution with which he rose above defeat, and prepared for new conflicts. As a disciplinarian, he brought into the ranks of the Huguenots a sobriety, and an attention to the claims of religion, which a Cromwell or a Gustavus Adolphus might have cited as models for their armies. As a patriot, he abhorred civil conflict, and entered upon it with great reluctance, under the pressure of what he considered to be the claims of the truest loyalty. As a Christian, he followed the dictates of simple-hearted devotion, the path of honesty, of candor, and of unswerving adherence to his convictions. With the praise of Coligny should ever be associated the name of his noble wife, a woman who combined with the tenderness befitting her sex the heroic spirit of a Deborah. 1 Referring to the scene in which she urged her husband to gird on the sword in behalf of the oppressed children of God, Martin remarks, "Never did the ideal of Corneille himself surpass this reality"(Livre LII.).
While there was no excess of religious ardor in the King or his courtiers, to stimulate to persecution, they still felt the impulsion of adequate motives. Possibly, oblivious of the distinction between God and Moloch, they thought by the sacrifice of the heretic to atone in some measure for the vileness of their own lives. Certainly they were urged on by lust after the confiscated goods of the proscribed. Unimpeachable evidence makes it plain that this motive lay back of much of the inquisition after blood in the reign of Henry II. 2 Baird, I. 383, 283; Martin, xlix.
Several attempts were made, under this sovereign, to improve the already ample facilities for the detection and punishment of dissenters. In 1547 a special chamber was established in the Parliament of Paris, to try the accused. That the new tribunal was not idle, may be judged from the name which it came to bear, -- la chambre ardente. 3 Histoire Eccl., i. 87. Edicts were passed in 1549 and 1551, enlarging the prerogatives of ecclesiastical judges in cases of heresy, and limiting the privilege of appeal. In the following years, attempts were made, under the advice of the Cardinal of Lorraine, to introduce the Inquisition after the Spanish model. Inquisitors-general were finally appointed in 1557; but happily, the Parliament of Paris had enough of independence and patriotic feeling to neutralize, in a measure, the effort to set this engine of despotism into efficient activity.
Martyrdoms followed plentifully in the wake of the intolerant edicts. Near the beginning of Henry's reign, Paris was diverted with a renewal of the spectacle of 1535. The King himself was led by zeal or curiosity to take part in the scene, and attempted to question one of the victims, a poor tailor. He met, however, with a bitter reward for his pains; for such answers were given as put both him and his mistress to shame. Moreover, the martyr, as he was subjected to the fiery ordeal, gazed with such a steadfast look upon the King, that the latter for a long time was most unpleasantly haunted by his image, and resolved never again to be present at such a spectacle. Many other places imitated the example of the metropolis, and were edified beyond their expectation or desire by the bearing of the victims. A peculiarly intense impression was made by the victorious faith and joyful constancy of the "Five Scholars" from Lausanne, who were burned at Lyons in 1553.
The peace which Henry II. concluded with Philip II. of Spain in 1559 was commonly interpreted by the Protestants as an omen of attack. Nor were they at fault in this surmise. The rumor of secret articles, in which the two sovereigns pledged each other to extirpate heresy, may have been unfounded. But it is an undoubted fact, that with either sovereign, one motive for consummating peace was the desire for a more complete opportunity to destroy Protestantism, root and branch. As in Spain, so also in France, the first-fruits were soon reaped. Several members of Parliament, who had the courage to tell the King to his face that the government would be quite as well occupied in correcting the enormous abuses in the Church as in punishing loyal and upright men who died with the Saviour's name upon their lips, were cast into prison. The most distinguished of these, Anne du Bourg, was finally sent to the scaffold. His death was in effect as that of Samson, though in spirit more after the pattern of the new dispensation. The high rank of the man, his reputation for exceptional probity, and the heroic fortitude with which he met his fate, produced in many minds an extraordinary recoil against the sanguinary methods of the persecutor. 1 Florimond de Raemond, who wrote as a bitter foe of Protestantism, has left this record of the impression made by Du Bourg's death: "I remember when Anne du Bourg, counselor in the Parliament of Paris, was burned, that all Paris was astonished at the constancy of the man. As we returned to our colleges from the execution, we were melted in tears; and we pleaded his cause after his death, anathematizing those unjust judges who had justly condemned him. His sermon at the gallows end upon the funeral pile did more harm than a hundred ministers could have done " (Baird, i. 373). De Thou speaks in high terms of Du Bourg, and says that his ashes may be regarded as the soil from which sprang the ample crop of civil disturbances in the following years (Lib. XXIII.).
The King, notwithstanding the resolution which he had formed in 1549, promised himself the gratification of beholding with his own eyes the execution of Du Bourg. He also had it in mind, to make an extended tour through his kingdom to superintend in person the work of exterminating his Protestant subjects. But neither part of his plan was fulfilled. His own summons came before that of Du Bourg. In the midst of the glitter and rejoicings of a marriage fête, he was stricken down. The festival torches were suddenly turned into funeral tapers. Henry II. died on the 10th of July, 1559, from a wound received in a tournament.
Besides the testimony respecting the effect of Du Bourg's death, there are many other indications that the sensibilities of the people had not been hardened by the repeated sight of tortured victims. In the reign of Henry II., no less than in that of Francis I., martyrdom was a fruitful source of expansion to Protestantism. Again and again the triumph was with the victim rather than with the executioner. Many expired in ecstasy, insensible to the refined cruelties of the feasters upon human flesh, who invented tortures to prolong their agony. More than one judge died of consternation or remorse. Others embraced the faith of those whom they sent to the scaffold." 1 Martin, Livre L. Protestantism was beginning to include no inconsiderable fraction of the nation. In 1558 it is said to have counted no less than four hundred thousand adherents. The next year, provision was made for its consolidation and continued growth, in the work of the first national synod, which met at Paris, and adopted, along with a Presbyterian scheme of church government, the "French Confession."
Up to the end of the reign of Henry II., the record of French Protestantism was, for the most part, that of suffering patience. The political and martial elements which entered into its later history had not yet appeared. Its adherents were an elect band who lived purely, and were prepared to die heroically. A Roman Catholic historian of the time says of them, "They comported themselves as the pronounced enemies of luxury, of public festivities, and of the follies of the world, which were all too prevalent among the Catholics. In their societies and at their banquets, one found neither music nor dancing, but discourses from the Bible, which lay upon the table, and spiritual songs, especially the Psalms as soon as they were brought into rhyme. The women, with their modest apparel and bearing, seemed like sorrowing Eves or penitent Magdalens, repeating in their lives the description which Tertullian gave of the women of his age. The men appeared dead to the world, and filled with the Holy Spirit. Each was a John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. The outward demeanor expressed only humility and obedience. They sought to gain a place for themselves, not by cruelty but by patience, not by killing but by dying, so that in them Christianity in its primitive innocence seemed to be restored." 1 Florimond de Raemond; quoted by Soldan, Geschichte des Protestantismus in Frankreich, I. 206. We may add here, in connection with the reference to the Psalms, that the versions of Marot and Beza were at once efficient means of religious inspiration in adherents, and incitements to the attention of outsiders. We have accounts of large crowds upon certain public grounds at Paris being diverted from other forms of recreation, and gathering about those who sang in French verse the noble lyrics of the Psalter. So apparent was the effect, that the government was called upon to put a stop to the singing (De Thou, Lib. XX., anno 1558; Histoire Ecclésiastique, i 167).

By Ozias Mucheriwa
This is the order of life and of every other form of achievement. Be, do and have. In life you get what you are. This might be a bit hard for me to explain but I will try. You cannot have what you are not. In life we always get what we are. This truth manifests itself in relationships, business and life in general. Your surroundings and circumstances are usually a reflection of what you are. A realisation of this profound truth can result in a significant leap into the world of success and happiness.
It is not what we get that is important but what we become. Becoming is the most important science that any person aspiring to develop a self-propelled upward spiral should strive for. Many people when offered opportunities to handle huge and challenging projects, are quick to ask, "What's in it for me?" That is the last question a focussed person should ask. The right question to ask is, (and I'm giving you this for free), "What am I becoming?" It is what you become that determines your success in life, not what you get. Once you become, getting becomes inevitable.
Let us start with relationships. Finding the right person in a relationship is not dependent on some mysterious compatibility quotient. It is found in being the right person. Being the right person is a matter of working on yourself to become that kind of person your partner cannot only live with but cannot live without. You obviously have some bad elements that can drive your partner off the wall and only you has the power chisel them out. Sometimes you could wish to change your partner when it is actually your bad habits that cause him or her to behave in the manner they do. Instead of fighting to change someone, changing yourself can play the trick that you've been yearning for, for years. After becoming the right person no force that can impede your reception of good and harmonious relationships.
In business you can become a prosperous business person but that starts again with becoming a success. As a man thinketh so is he. How you view the world of money and business. You need to peel folklore from history and from fact. Avoid opinions such as:
•Success in business calls for a degree dishonesty
•For you to gain, others have to lose
•You have to be a skinflint to succeed in the world of business
You become a success first before it manifests in the physical. This is because premature wealth always leads to misery and regret. You should not get rich above your level of self-development as this is bound to make the riches think for you making you a slave of riches. Before you run helter-skelter looking for wealth work on developing yourself to become a better person.
Once you become, it becomes easy to act in a manner consistent with the person you have become. The fact is, once you become the deeds come on naturally and those deeds attract wealth. Acts of success follow a person of success. Do the acts that correspond with your being i.e. who you are or rather who you have become.
After passing these stages you can then have whatever you want. When you acquire things after you have become and done, you are sure to retain them. Following the order of things will take you far. I guess that is why Dr Stephen Covey had to dedicate a whole chapter in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective people to doing First Things First. The majority fight to have things that the rich have when they are poor in mind. The only area where poverty is recommend is in spirit but if you become poor in mind the results become interesting. Off the point. Never mind.
Be, do and have.

In reality, however, he was the parish clergyman of the small and poor remnant of the Episcopal persuasion who inhabited the odoriferous fishing-town of Fraserburgh.

… thank God I saw the picture when they got commissioned. I can therefore safely ask you what the fuss was all about. 🙂
Let's start a "Get Daixy on a Tsoo Tsoo Train" Fund! All proceeds go to getting Daixy on a Tsu Tsu train! Let's have your donations and sympathies sent to Lil Miss Daixy's account! (You'll have to help us with the details, Dai.) 😛
L@er!January 16, 2011|
OMG i am too jealous! wish i saw it too….January 16, 2011|
You sure excessive heat from the hair dryer didnt induce a brief hallucination? 🙂
This is really cool! This train must be nice, comfy & uncrowded since few people seem to know about it.
I'd be excited too, seeing how colorful it is.
Happy New Year!!
MikeJanuary 16, 2011|
I saw the news item about the train on TV, I am yet to have a ride on it though. I am interested in seeing the stations, are there underground like the ones I use in London?

I am all for planning a trip to Tema on that train. Does it run on weekends?
Daixy, how about it?
Anyone care to join? 🙂January 16, 2011|
@ Will, I doubt that the fare is so steep that I can't afford it lol. Making the time to drive to the station, now….THAT's the problem. I'm purposefully ignoring your question though, and sticking my tongue out in sheer defiance 😛January 16, 2011|
@MzTay, chica get your butt back to GH and maybe I'll take you on my trip on the thing lolJanuary 16, 2011|
@Mike, I didn't go under the dryer. Remember, I said I'd hacked off my long hair? There's not much left to curl onto a roller and stick under a hair dryer 😛
Happy New year, suga and many blessings for 2011January 16, 2011|
@ Albert, I don't know how credible I am as a source but as I see it, we do not have a single subway in Ghana yet. I have it from a reliable source that were using the same old tracks from the colonial era. Other countries have moved on to wider tracks. Whoever did the rehabilitation should have figured out that supporting the old tracks will not last long and simply moved us on to the new standards.
Now that China has decided to sink 10 billion smackeroos into our metro system, i'm hoping we'll see positive change 🙂January 16, 2011|
@Tetekai, Huzzah for the TRAIN TRIP!!! I doubt it'll take us more than an hour to and from Tema. Let's do this on Saturday. I'll grab a camera and dress like a tourist 😉
Oooh yes. People SHOULD join in. I think my buddy M would tag along, since he introduced me to it. He's gotta make sure I don't overdose from excitement LOLOLJanuary 16, 2011|
Good luck on that. Count me in! 🙂January 19, 2011|
Ooooh Thanks Enyonam 🙂 (heads on over to looksie)February 8, 2011|

We took a loook on the web, and according to WikiPedia Pharaoh is the common title of the kings of Ancient Egypt until the Macedonian conquest. The Pharoh was the political and religious leader of the people. The rulers of Egypt were usually the sons or declared heirs of the preceding pharaoh, born of the Great Wife (pharaoh's chief consort) or sometimes a lesser-ranked wife whom the pharaoh favored. As supreme ruler of the people, the pharaoh was considered a god on earth, the intermediary between the gods and the people, and when he died, he was thought to become Osiris, the god of the dead.
Finding a treasure full of gold is quite newsworthy, no matter how large it is, but the largest was Tutankhamen's Treasure in Egypt. In the tomb of Tutankhamen, which was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, the king's coffin that was made of solid gold was discovered. Accordig to WikiPedia (the online encyclopedia) Tutankhamen was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. He is colloquially referred to as King Tut. Tutankhamun was nine years old when he became Pharaoh, son of god Ra, and reigned for approximately ten years. 5,398 items were found in the tomb, including a solid gold coffin, face mask, thrones, archery bows, food, wine, sandals and fresh linen underwear. Howard Carter took 10 years to catalog the items. There are no surviving records of Tutankhamun's final days. What caused Tutankhamun's death has been the subject of considerable debate.

Flag pole pulleys have a rope or cable to which flags are attached. The rope or cable wraps around a wheel at the top of the pole, making flag raising and lowering easier.
Fixed Pulleys
Fixed pulley wheels don't move up and down but are fastened to a fixed structure, like the top of a flagpole. The load arm (lift up) and effort arm (pull down) of the cable are equal in length. Pulling down on the effort arm raises the flag clipped to the load arm.
Mechanical Advantage
The mechanical force of a flag pole's pulley equals the ratio between the flag's weight and the physical force required to lift it. The fixed pulley, at the centre, changes the effort force's direction; pulling the cable down a distance of 10 feet on one side causes the flag to lift up 10 feet on the other side.
Benefits and Drawbacks
The benefits of the flag pole's pulley include not adding the pulley's weight when raising the flag, and taking advantage of gravity on the flag's weight to assist in lowering it. The disadvantage of the flag pole's single fixed pulley is that raising the flag requires more effort than using movable or combined pulley systems.

I trying to migrate Watchguard to Palo Alto and trying to import the rule base from CSV file.
It seem to work well if I have only on value in each field of a policy, e.g. only single zone, single address or service.
Is it possible to have multiple field values, let's say a security policy with multiple source addresses and multiple services, etc.?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes this is possible, you will need to comma separate the objects within a field mapping. Make sure there are no spaces between the commas also.
See the example below.
One point to note is that the referenced objects (address/servcie) must already be created prior to the import.

Catherine Susan Hart passed away peacefully on March 18, 2018.
She was born on May 9th, 1972 in Sun Valley Idaho to Daniel Joseph Hart and Barbara Belcher Robb Hart.
Catherine came to the Peninsula after a vacation from college, and because her parents moved to Port Angeles. Catherine received her Bachelor of Arts degree from University of Puget Sound Tacoma in 1990.
Catherine was an artist (watercolor, oils and acrylic), dancer (ballet, modern, and Brazilian), a graphic designer, executive assistant and writer. She was unable to work the last few years due to health issues.
Catherine married in a lovely mountain wedding in Ketchum, Idaho, they divorced a year and a half later in 1992.
Normally Catherine was shy but with an outgoing personality, she was very excited and pleased about her pregnancy and looking forward to having "Morgan Jupiter" a name she and her fiance had picked out. She loved the mountains, the ocean beaches, loved to swim, ski, read, dance and listen to music. She was compassionate, caring and a loyal friend, she loved nature and wild life, her interests ranged widely: art, philosophy, languages (French, Spanish, Chinese, Nepalese, Portuguese), cultures worldwide (Pacific Islands and Saipan, Indonesia, Japanese, Korean, French), interested in fashion, science, creative arts, yoga and pilates and was a personal trainer.
Catherine leaves behind her beloved fiance; Ron Hankins of Port Angeles.
Catherine was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents, and her beloved infant daughter (stillborn) Morgan Jupiter Hart, many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Catherine was laid to rest at the Mount Angeles Cemetery.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made to the American Red Cross, Medical Teams International, The World Wildlife Fund, Salvation Army or charity of your choice
In loving memory of Catherine "Cat" Hart, my beautiful fiancé, soul mate and mother of our unborn daughter, Morgan Jupiter Hankins, who both passed away unexpectedly on March 18, 2018 due to complications of our pregnancy. Cat was born May 9, 1972 in Idaho to Dan & Barb Hart. Cat was my true love; her smile exuded happiness and joy. She was passionate about yoga, art, dancing, writing and championing those in need. She was deeply cherished and will be truly missed by me, Ron Hankins and many others. Cat often stated she was the happiest she had ever been in her life as we lived, loved and planned for our future together with our daughter Morgan. Motherhood is challenging; and you, Cat gave the ultimate sacrifice. It gives me great comfort to know that you and Morgan Jupiter are together forever. I will always love and miss you.

- Description
- Designed in 1928 by Alessandro Butti under the direction of Raffaello Bertieri for the Nebiolo foundry, Paganini defies standard categorization. While it definitely is a classic foundry text face with obvious roots in the oldstyle of the Italian renaissance, its contrast reveals a clear underlying modern influence. In a typical Italian artistic fashion, Paganini manages to be a superb text face while having enough priceless ornamental moments to make it great in display uses as well Check out the splayed M, the wide tailed g, the flowing tail on the y, the high armed k, etcetera. While the original metal version was limited to five basic fonts, this digital expansion includes small caps in the three main upright weights, plenty of alternate forms in all fonts, a super seductive Open font, and an expanded language support covering the majority of Latin based languages.

Dangerous Riffs: Make Killer Licks and Solos from Just Five Notes
In the eternal quest for more and better, shred guitarists tend to move toward exotic sounds: harmonic minor, melodic minor, Phrygian and Locrian, to name a few. But what can you do when even advanced scales and modes begin to sound dull and tired?
Here's a good idea: head back to the familiar territory of the minor pentatonic scale (1 b3 4 5 b7), one of the most commonly used melodic sources in rock, blues and other styles. You've probably already mastered more greasy pentatonic licks than you know what to do with, but in this lesson you'll learn how to use those same five notes to say something new—and dangerous. After all, nothing says "rock and roll" like a killer pentatonic lick.
FIGURE 1 shows the five boxes of the A minor pentatonic shape. Play each one ascending and descending until it's under your fingers. To play in keys other than A minor, simply slide the entire figure to other frets.
Now let's try some "mechanics"—the four-note groups in FIGURES 2A–E. First repeat them as indicated. Then move each one smoothly through the different string sets of each box. I've shown a snippet using the first mechanic to give you an idea of how this works. Apply this idea across all the boxes, both ascending and descending. This process should help embed each of these mechanics into your muscle memory, so that you'll be able to whip them out on the fly in a variety of contexts.
The next step is to incorporate the patterns into licks. String a few together and mix them up, adding bends and pauses to make two-measure phrases. To help with this, I've shown two more ways to add variety. Depicted in FIGURE 3A (the first measure in the figure) is a variant of a hemiola (three-against-two pattern) played by Jimi Hendrix. I say "a variant" because in this case it is actually a five-against-four pattern, but it accomplishes the same principle. With each repetition the notes fall in a different place relative to the underlying pulse, tumbling over the beat and adding rhythmic interest. Try to create some variations of your own.
After playing sequence-type repetition-based licks, it can be a welcome change to make a run straight up or down the scale, covering more sonic ground—a full octave or even two, as shown in FIGURE 3B (the second measure in the figure). On the way down, to spice things up I've added the b5, which is found in the blues scale (1 b3 4 b5 5 b7). I first began using this lick when I heard it on a live fusion recording by Al Di Meola, and it's remained my arsenal to this day.
FIGURE 4 demonstrates a Zakk Wylde-inspired approach—ascending through the boxes on two strings. The primary difficulty here lies in the alternate picking. As an easier alternative, you could stay in one box and play it with pull-offs in the style of Kiss's Ace Frehley.
FIGURE 5 includes passing tones that form six-note groupings. Midway up the scale is a reversed triplet sequence. Here, a three-note descending pattern is sequenced in ascending fashion.
Now that you have these new techniques in your repertoire, use them frequently until they become second nature and you can call them up on command as the music requires.

I had this great idea about adding to a parachute type drop that we have tried in the past. The original version of this challenge was just to build a braking system for a dropping object.
Well, I added a scenario to the task about building a ride with an egg for the passenger.
Kids had to build the braking system with a way to also slow down the dropping passenger.
(Don't you love the untied shoes in that photo? These are fifth graders!)
This STEM challenge was, by far, one of the best we have done. The kids loved it!
So, what are you doing in your Science class?

My first two gorgeous silk and lace Boylston Bras!!!!!!
I used the Boylston Bra pattern https://shop.orange-lingerie.com/products/boylston-bra-pattern.
I have never had such beautiful, luxurious, elegant & sexy bras!!!!!!!!
It is as satisfying as making my own jeans!!!!!!!
It is as satisfying as making my own jeans!!!!!!!
I used the most amazing sandwashed silk and stunning lace. This silk was scraps from my Hummingbird Ribbon Shirt. http://www.sewgadenzia.com/2016/05/my-hummingbird-ribbon-shirt.html
Again I am grateful to Lauren's Boylston Bra sew-along that I followed step by step https://lladybird.com/?s=boylston&submit=Search.
I changed the pattern in several ways by; making two pieces of the upper cup so that I could add scalloped lace only to the inside of the upper cup. This is more comfortable because it leaves no lace to rub on the underarm. I shortened the fabric part of the bra strap because I had the feeling that the strap would slide off my shoulder when I lean down to one side.
I changed it so that ALL the seams are hidden inside by adding a lining of the same unbelievably sumptuous feel of sandwashed silk on my skin.
I used a bra cup but did not add underwires because I do not like how they feel. And I took an inch length off the frame and added it to the back band to give it more room for power mesh so that it has more stretch capabilities.
The pink Boylston Bra I made first and thus it has all the mistakes I made on it so that in the end it is too small!😞
I used beautiful hand dyed silk so you can imagine what a bummer it was to find out it didn't fit in the end. The red one is a size bigger and has all the changes that I learned by making this one. NOW I will PIN ON THE BAND and HOOK & EYE, HOLD IT ROUND MY CHEST to see if it fits BEFORE sewing the band on. If it appears like it will be too small I can always lengthen my power mesh pieces.
"There is some kiss we want with
our whole lives, the touch of
spirit on the body."
our whole lives, the touch of
spirit on the body."

Stepping back, we can see that Mechanisms is an important book, but not only for the obvious reasons. Yes, it offers the conclusive evidence, the smoking gun (guns since there are three of them), that we have need for talking about the materiality of digital texts. Yes, the book contributes to the growing body of scholarship on platform studies and introduces the study of forensics to digital media. But most importantly, it offers the philosophical and methodological framework needed to grow the field, for it helps to move the humanities toward a renaissance of close reading and textual study, revitalizing it and providing it a strong central practice. Mechanisms is a must read for all of us working in digital media who wonder where it is headed and where it needs to go.

One of the most interesting things about Let the bullets fly are the political overtones that seem to have been missed or perhaps ignored by the Chinese film censors, who are usually so renowned for being strict on any kind of political commentary that paints the Chinese government in anything less than perfect light.
Let the bullets fly may not be the movie you were expecting, the impression I had of it from it's promotion was of a comedy action western, and with that title and Chow Yun Fat starring I was hoping for an element of heroic bloodshed, this is not the case however. Don't let that put you off though as it's an excellent film, with much to offer the attentive viewer. So successful was the film that a sequel has already been given the green light, proof that intelligent and entertaining movies can still be commercial movies!
