So purchasing your dream car is the perfect way in today's era.
Used cars Vs New Cars:
- Buy used Hyundai i20 in Bangalore online and it is significantly less demanding as one is spared from steady visits to and wheeling and dealing with the merchant.
- When buying a new car model you are unaware of the harms it might cause you or what maintenance price it will take from you once you buy it..
- Old cars or rather second hand cars can be used for learning driving purposes and also for those who have a lesser budget and want to buy some exclusive car.
- With the end goal of just observing the current condition one doesn't have to visit every purchaser. You can once see the pictures of the cars posted and thence you buy it? No! You go through the details. Remember, we do not judge a book by its cover?

While you wait for Westworld's return, a new western series is coming to town. Written and directed by Out of Sight's Scott Frank, and co-created by Steven Soderbergh, Godless is takes places in the 1880s and explores a gritty tale of the wild west. The seven-part limited Netflix series follows the story of an outlaw named Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels) and his crew of murderous bandits, who are looking to hunt down Roy Goode (Jack O'Connell), one of their own who betrayed them. Roy finds shelter, as it were, in a New Mexican mining town that is mysteriously populated only by women. There he meets the tough widow Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery), as the town prepares for the onset of Griffin's men and the bloody showdown that is to come.
The first teaser trailer, "Welcome to No Man's Land," teases a series that is actually a lot more violent and brutal than I was expecting, which is saying something. The trailer also gives us a narration of Yehuda Halevi's poem "Tis a Fearful Thing to Love what Death has Touched." Indeed! Check it out below:
A few weeks ago, Scoot McNairy spoke to us about the project, saying,
I grew up in Texas, born and raised. And I'm a sixth generation cattle farmer. My great-great-grandfather ran a cattle farm in the 1880s in West Texas. […] I wanted to do a Western way before I wanted to even be an actor. When I saw the script, I just felt incredibly lucky and incredibly blessed to not just be a part of a Western, but be a part of this Western. […] The story is really great, I feel like it's really a film about women and women's strength. I also thought that that's something that hasn't been done, really hasn't been done so predominantly in a film. And, to do it in a Western, I just really wanted to be a part of it.
Here's the official synopsis; Godless premieres November 22nd.
Godless is a seven-part Netflix limited series from Steven Soderbergh and Scott Frank, written and directed by Scott Frank, starring Jack O'Connell, Michelle Dockery, and Jeff Daniels. Frank Griffin, an outlaw terrorizing the 1880s American West, hunts down Roy Goode, his partner turned enemy. Roy hides out at a ranch as Frank's chase leads him to La Belle, New Mexico – a town mysteriously made up entirely of women.

If you are going to take the flu shots there are a few things to be aware of:
You should know if you can take a live virus (the nasal spray) vs the modified virus. If your immune system is off for any reason, from medications to medical problems, you should NOT take the nasal spray. Consult with your doctor and whoever is giving you the shot, tell them of your medical problems and bring a list of your medicines to see what they suggest.
You may have a sensitivity to the preservatives in the shots. You can ask for a list and if you have an allergy or a sensitivity to the preservatives, you should avoid taking the shots.
Finally, you should not take the shot on a day you are very stressed out, as this could make the shot less effective.

For all you Cricut-eers out there who are enjoying using MTC on your Cricuts, you might not want to take any more updates for the software. Or else… your Cricut will not work with the new version. Click here to learn more.
For those who really enjoy MTC no matter what machine they have to use, check out this new monster of a personal cutter: Black Cat Couger.
I can't guarantee that any machine other than the Cricut will work with SVG files though. And, as far as i can tell, Sure Cuts A Lot 2 (by CraftEdge) still works with the Cricut. But, I'm not sure if they will have to follow along with MTC someday – so watch out, and always keep past versions' installation files for your favorite software saved to disc, just in case the next version no longer works with your favorite cutting machine.
Best wishes & happy crafting,
Vickie 🙂

Here is your guide to what to see on stage and on exhibit this September and beyond. And don't worry—seeing art or a performance doesn't have to interfere with sacred game day time.
Hale County Documentary Photography
As a photographer, Lauren Henkin was familiar with images of Hale County from the iconic photographs of Walker Evans, William Christenberry, and Gordon Parks. But last year she got to make her own as an artist-in-residence for a month for The Do Good Fund, a nonprofit organization that acquires and exhibits photographs made in the American South.
During that time, Henkin produced a portfolio of over 50 photographs, and now the Birmingham Museum of Art has selected 15 to form the exhibition "What's Lost is Found." The exhibit opens on Nov. 4 with an artist's talk scheduled for 7 p.m.

We're already entering January's fourth week, so what can we expect this year? My predications focus on Government, skills, disruption and data.
I think this year will see Government really trying to understand what Government as a digital platform means and what it means to put the power back into the hands of the citizen. It seems that there is a blurring of the lines between policy and delivery and it think we'll see it becoming slightly more party political. Policy making must take into account policy delivery and it is in this way that we have seen both digital and tech solutions become politicised, as for many enterprises, digital is the preferred means of communication with both citizens and customers alike.
In line with this, I believe we'll also see a shift of understanding by citizens and consumers as they realise that they have to own their personal data. We're seeing individuals increasingly understand the true value of their personal data and in particular that it can be used to drive better deals. In 2016, I think we'll see people expect to manage how their data is used, who uses it and for what purpose.
All of which leads ties into my next prediction; AI in the workplace will grow this year. Like the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence will begin to become a reality in the workplace and wider society in 2016. Both of these innovations are important in themselves but also for the information they will generate and I believe that people will be looking not just for data accumulation but data wisdom.
Companies who understand this are going to have a real advantage, in particular if they can work out how to use collected data to improve people's quality of life through products and services in a way that doesn't make customers want to hide their data or run away!
For the CIO, 2016, is about being really good at bringing technologies that add value, keep them ahead of both the curve and their competitors, into the business. It goes without saying that CIOs and their teams have to be good at fulfilling today's expectations but even better at predicting tomorrows need.
CIOs are the custodians of all the cool stuff, unlocking the market potential of their organisation and driving competitive advantage rather than just keeping the lights on. For example, I've even seen a few CIOs challenge the organisations to 'not buy stuff' – I'm going to be interested to see what that means and where it leads.
There is no doubt that there are going to be some exciting developments in tech itself that have the potential to unlock new ideas and businesses. Innovative business models are changing the way even established players look at their own markets. This is essential; the most innovative of all will be looking at how they can stay ahead of their competitors by disrupting themselves. This is a growing trend for which the demand for capability that sits within organisations will continue to grow and that talent will be ever more in demand. Of those markets, we're seeing the automobile sector take full advantage of tech; Ford is just one example of an organisation that is looking to tech giants to help them forge the next stage in driverless technology, partnering with Amazon to become a potential major player in smart transport.
Some organisations will struggle with these really disruptive business models and they will fall by the wayside. Big traditional organisations in particular could find that 2016 offers them a changing and challenging landscape, and some, that don't truly understand what going digital means, will inevitably fail.
All of this requires skills. We already have a skills deficit and CIOs in 2016 are going to have to look long and hard at how they find the talent they need, keep it and develop it. We need to ensure that there is a strong pipeline of talent coming in to the profession, help organisations continue to develop their talent and ensure that through professionalism people have the skills to deliver the true benefit that technology can bring not only to organisations but society as a whole throughout 2016.

Fear the Walking Dead Crossover Thoughts
*Casting spoilers for both shows ahead*
I do miss running a website sometimes, one reason is because it can be a great way to vent frustrations at shows I used to love but are now pissing me off. One of those shows- The Walking Dead. I'll probably do a rant about that at some point in the future, for now though I just want to talk about that announced crossover with Fear the Walking Dead.
Fear The Walking Dead Is Actually Good Now
Now Fear is a show I quite like now. It's improved year on year and, for me, its latest season was miles better than anything the parent show has put out for a couple of years now. I may be worried that Scott M Gimple now runs that show too, but I'm still excited for the recently announced crossover between the two shows. Well, I was anyway- when I thought it was Abraham making the trip. Its my fault I guess. I shouldn't have just assumed it would be him, but to be fair, it was a natural assumption for myself and many others to make. Fear has moved production to Texas, which is where Abraham hailed from. He also mentioned his time with past groups and we have a relatively blank slate for what he got up to before joining Rick and co. Sure we had that one episode that showed him meeting Eugene, but he was by far the most obvious fit to appear. But who do we have instead? Morgan.
I like Morgan. I feel he often gets the short stick when it comes to the writing, but he's bolstered by Lennie James who is one of the finest actors the show has. But him appearing on Fear makes literally no sense whatsoever. Worse still, it isn't needed. We saw Morgan in the very first episode of the show, then again in season 3 when he was minus a son and minus most of his sanity. Are we supposed to believe that in such a short space of time he was able to go from Atlanta to Texas? I mean it's doable by car, about 15 hours without stopping, but why would he go? What possible reason is there for him to do it? It couldn't be after that, he was already in calm, Eastman trained, stick wielding mode by the end of season 4, so it has to be these early days. But as I say, it isn't needed, at least in my mind. We were told what happened between Morgan's first and second appearance. I didn't hear anyone saying they wished they seen the gaps filled in on screen because James's performance in "Clear" was so powerful that it told us all we need to know. We're now supposed to believe that he had a season (or more) long adventure with Madison and company in Texas before or after he lost his son? I don't buy it. It seems very much like a poor retcon. Of course, if Fear the Walking Dead pulls a great twist on us and throws in a time jump to catch it up to where The Walking Dead is; well then my interest will be piqued. Right now, this just seems like stunt casting for the sake of it. If that's what they're going to do, at least give us someone who will inject some new life into Fear- someone like Abraham for example.
Side note: If Morgan does die at the end of this season, that will be two finale deaths in a row that have been sign posted by casting news.
What Could Have Been
It all just feels like such a wasted opportunity. If the crossover had gone the other way, there would have been so much more potential. Imagine if Nick showed up in The Walking Dead for an episode or two and acted like a completely different character. We'd then have a glimpse into the future of this character and we could have the fun of trying to work out what changed him and how he ended up there. He could drop hints about what happened to his family and we'd be given a multi season tease until Fear eventually caught up. The way they've done this seems like the laziest way to do it. Which for The Walking Dead lately, well it shouldn't surprise me.

The Credit Card CrunchOn average, today's consumer has a total of 13 credit obligations on record at a credit bureau. These include credit cards (such as department store charge cards, gas cards, and bank cards) and installment loans (auto loans, mortgage loans, student loans, etc.). Not included are savings and checking accounts (typically not reported to a credit bureau). Of these 13 credit obligations, nine are likely to be credit cards and four are likely to be installment loans. (Source: myfico.com)
Your Credit Card Rights.The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Actof 2009 (commonly known as the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights) is a federal law that is designed to protect cardholders from unfair practices by card providers. Below is a list of some of the important rights this law grants you. Thanks to NEAS our Newsletter from Your EAP and WorkLife Service, Winter 2010.
Interest RatesYour regular interest rate cannot be increased during the first 12 months of opening a credit card unless you are more than 30 days late with a payment. Promotional interest rates must last at least six months.
An interest rate increase can only apply to new charges, not the pre-existing balance. This rule does not apply if you are past due more than 60 days.
If your interest rate was raised due to making a payment late, the card issuer must reinstate the lower interest rate if you make on time payments for six months.
You must be given at least 45 days notice of an interest rate increase.
Universal default clauses are prohibited, meaning a creditor can no longer raise your interest rate because you were delinquent with another creditor.
FeesYou cannot be charged an over-the-limit fee unless you authorize your credit card company to process over-thelimit transactions. If you do provide authorization, you can only be charged one overthe- limit fee per billing cycle.
You cannot be charged a fee for paying your bill online or over the phone, except for expedited (last minute) phone payments.
The amount of any fee charged must be reasonably related to the actual cost the creditor incurred as a result of your action.
Billing PracticesIf you have balances with different interest rates and pay more than the minimum required amount, the extra payment must be applied to the balance with the highest interest rate.
Your balance cannot be calculated using the doublecycle billing method (which uses your daily balance over the past two billing periods).
Your statement must be mailed to you at least 21 days before the due date.
If your due date falls on a weekend or holiday, your payment is considered on time if it is made on the next business day.
If a mailed payment is received by 5 PM on the due date, it cannot be marked late - a creditor cannot set a deadline of 11 AM or another earlier time.
Restrictions for Young Adults and TeensConsumers under the age of 21 must have a co-signer over the age of 21 or independent means of repaying the balance (such as a job) to obtain a credit card.
For joint accounts held by a person under 21 and an adult, the card issuer must get approval from the adult to increase the credit limit.
Consumers under the age of 18 cannot have a credit card unless they are emancipated. However, they can still be an authorized user.
Most of the provisions of the law go into effect in February 2010.

All About Impact: Indego Africa on Philanthropic Fashion
Within the past decade there has been a surge in sustainable fashion and consumerism regarding ethical sourcing, production, and employment. This methodology of building awareness and providing consumers with what they want is a solid
Within the past decade there has been a surge in sustainable fashion and consumerism regarding ethical sourcing, production, and employment. This methodology of building awareness and providing consumers with what they want is a solid place to start when exposing a different narrative about underrepresented countries and the treasures they have to showcase.
Indego Africa is dedicated to this cause as a sustainable fashion brand and nonprofit social enterprise that believes in education as the key to long-term empowerment and social change. The ethos behind their mission is to educate and empower female artisans in Rwanda and Ghana to prepare them to be businesswomen who can support themselves and their families.
I had the pleasure of speaking with two women on the path to empowering these African artisans: Rosine Urujeni and Adesina Oyenuga of Indego Africa. Urujeni is Indego's Country Director based in Rwanda, and Oyenuga is the new Production and Fulfillment Associate based in New York City. As Africans on the continent and in the diaspora, both women offered their perspectives on the organization, its initiatives, and its impact.
When did you first join Indego Africa and how did you hear about the organization? What drew you to the org?
Urujeni: I heard about Indego through a job posting while I was in the US. I was looking for an opportunity since I wanted to come back to Rwanda. I became interested in the company because of the impact, difference they were making in people's lives, and ultimately in the Rwandan community as a whole. That is what kind of a job and organization I wanted to relate to.
Oyenuga: I first joined Indego Africa as a Sales and Communications Intern and have just recently joined the team in production and fulfillment. I found out about Indego through my dissatisfaction for the superficiality and shallowness of luxury fashion after several internships. I then did extensive research on sustainable fashion and came across Indego Africa after researching 'conscious fashion.' What drew me to the org was Indego's multifaceted mission of supporting the empowerment and self-sufficiency of African artisans, while equipping them to develop as successful entrepreneurs.
What impact do you see Indego Africa's initiatives having on changing the communities the organization serves?
Oyenuga: The handcrafted products made by Indego Africa's artisan partners are not only their source of income, but also a major component that funds their education. Initiatives such as, the Indego Africa Leadership Academy—an Institution in Kigali, Rwanda committed to fostering powerful businesswomen, entrepreneurs, and leaders across the country— has made it possible for several of the women we work with to start their own successful and sustainable businesses.
What is the biggest difference between the execution of initiatives, artisans, and industry/community in Rwanda versus Ghana?
Urujeni: In Rwanda, we work easily in groups and understand that working as a team makes us stronger and advances us. Plus, we know and valorize women's rights—they are at the front of everything we do as individuals, organizations, institutions, and as a nation. Because of this no one gives us a hard time when we work towards women's empowerment. The government is also there to help us implement our activities toward a common vision set as a nation. We work hand-in-hand with different institutions and organizations in order to avoid duplication, mismanagement, bureaucracy or corruption. We are working towards this same balance with the community in Ghana.
What does being part of an org that touches lives in on the Continent mean to you, personally?
Oyenuga: Being of Nigerian and Trinidadian heritage, coupled with growing up in Asia, South America, and Europe as a child, has created in me a desire to serve internationally. Through working with an organization like Indego Africa, I have been able to combine my personal and professional passion for generating global community change in underserved areas.
What does 'social impact' mean to you, and how do you see it manifested in your personal and professional lives?
Oyenuga: To me, social impact is about creating a sustainable community that echoes for generations. I had the opportunity to witness the effects of Indego Africa's social impact during a trip to Rwanda this past summer. On this trip, I gained a deeper understanding of how great an impact Indego's work has on the personal and economic empowerment of our female artisan partners.
During my last few days in Rwanda, while visiting the home of Rose, an artisan from Ingenzi Knit Union, she invited outside to take a look at a cow she had just bought for her family. Smiling from ear-to-ear, Rose went on to tell me that she was able to purchase the cow with the money she earned from working with Indego Africa. She is now able sell the cow's milk for additional income and provide for her family. Moments like these motivate the work I am able to do with Indego each day.
"Education is a catalyst for development and the key source to empowerment in all facets of life: personhood, global, economic, etc. Through this empowerment, one has the ability to activate their gifts and empower others to do the same."
What is something you would love for the world and Applause Africa readers to know about you, Africa right now, and Indego Africa?
Urujeni: Well, I'd like everyone to understand that as individuals, women, organizations and institutions, we must have a shared goal—that is working toward the common good; when we do this, we put the benefit for all at the forefront of everything we do, so we won't miss any opportunity that the world gives us for building together a bright future for ourselves, our children, and the communities around us.
Oyenuga: Indego Africa is where I came to understand the importance and impact sustainable fashion has not only on the fashion industry, but also on the lives and communities we serve. I think it's one thing to simply donate money to communities and see short-term change, but it's another to invest in individuals and teach them transferable skills. Education is a catalyst for development and the key source to empowerment in all facets of life: personhood, global, economic, etc. Through this empowerment, one has the ability to activate their gifts and empower others to do the same. This cycle of self-realization through education breeds happiness and will create a ripple effect of dynamic change in the world.

Pioneering Shopping Malls
The retail shopping center is a familiar fixture of the American suburban landscape. Its ubiquity today obscures the fact that it represents a distinct architectural typology that has only recently emerged.
It is a curious fact of history that many of the defining innovations of retail architecture originated in Texas. This is partially due to the fact that Texans embraced the automobile earlier than the rest of the country. Developers and the architects they teamed up with saw the uniqueness of the emerging urban condition and endeavored to create an appropriate architectural response that was later exported to the rest of the country.
Three projects in particular — Highland Park Village and NorthPark Center in Dallas, and the Galleria in Houston — are important landmarks in the development of the modern shopping experience. While each of these projects is a product of its individual era, as a group they speak to the value that design can bring to cities and the people who live in them.
Highland Park Village
Incorporated in 1913, Highland Park was built as a garden suburb on the northern frontier of Dallas. As was the case with other western cities, the growth of Dallas was made possible not by the expansion of commuter rail lines but by the widespread ownership of the personal automobile. As a bedroom community, Highland Park offered a seductive alternative to urban living but lacked a traditional business district where residents could shop.
Developers Edgar Flippen and Hugh Prather recognized an opportunity to create a concentrated shopping center that would cater to the car-traveling shopper. Along with Dallas architects Fooshee & Cheek, they created a concept that organized individual shops around a central square of parking. The idea was that shoppers would drive to their new center, park for free, and then shop at several different stores before returning to their vehicles. By turning the center's back to the surrounding neighborhood, they created a defined shopping plaza the likes of which had never been seen before Highland Park Village opened its doors in 1931.
The architects imbued the facades with an eclectic mix of the Mission Revival and Spanish Mediterranean styles. The aspirational quality of the architecture enhanced the novelty of the shopping experience and created a space that in some ways acted as a town square for the growing suburb of Highland Park. Other contemporary developments, such as Kansas City's Country Club Village, also used an exotic architectural language to create a unified retail environment. But whereas that development sought to integrate the district into existing street grids, in Highland Park the goal was to create an inwardly focused plaza.
Highland Park Village originally provided local residents with conveniences such as a grocery store, drug store, and gas station. These types of amenities continued to define the offerings of Highland Park Village until the middle part of the last century, when many of the site's unique architectural elements were altered or removed in attempts to "modernize" the property. After the plaza was sold in 1976, the new owners began to restore the architecture to its original grandeur and leverage its uniqueness to attract high-end retailers. OMNIPLAN of Dallas has continued this trend, making Highland Park Village one of Texas' premier addresses for luxury retail.
NorthPark Center
By the mid-1960s, the model of providing for the retail needs of a growing suburban population with concentrated shopping centers had been well established. The new game for developers was to anticipate where a city's growth was heading. This is precisely what Raymond Nasher did in the early 1960s when he acquired 97 acres approximately six miles north of Highland Park Village.
Nasher intended to build an enclosed shopping center on that land. On paper, this goal was unremarkable; NorthPark would not be the first enclosed, air-conditioned mall. But it would be the first one with a clear architectural vision. Nasher hired Harrell+Hamilton Architects of Dallas (now OMNIPLAN, the designers of the 2006 expansion of NorthPark) to create a premier modern shopping experience designed by prominent architects. When it opened, NorthPark was the world's largest air-conditioned retail establishment. Eero Saarinen had been hired to design the Nieman Marcus store, but the architect's sudden death in 1961 prevented this from occurring. Kevin Roche ultimately completed the project, creating a modern store that harmonized with the spatial design of the rest of NorthPark.
To animate the vast interior world of the mall, Nasher made the unprecedented decision to display much of his growing art collection within the public concourses. The fact that he was a collector of modern sculpture was lucky, for the large-scale works could be displayed without being overwhelmed by the spaces in which they were located. Art pieces were also incorporated into outdoor areas of the mall, creating an integrated composition with a landscaped courtyard space.
The other and perhaps more important innovation of the development was Nasher's purchase of the surrounding land. He recognized that if he acquired the available property around the mall, the land could be sold later at a higher price to other developers looking to capitalize on of the proximity to the established mall. It thus acted as a catalyst for continued retail development.
The Galleria
The 1970 opening of the Galleria in Houston expanded on many of the ideas of NorthPark but deployed them at a larger, more audacious scale. Eventually growing to over 3 million sf, the Galleria is the largest mall in Texas. Similar to Nasher's vision for exhibiting art in the vast corridors of NorthPark, developer Gerald Hines sought to pack his project with unique amenities that would make the mall itself a destination. These included two hotels, three office towers, and the first-ever ice skating rink located inside a mall.
Although its aesthetics were based on Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II — a vast shopping district in Milan created by the construction of a low glazed vault above an existing city street — the Galleria in Houston is more like a walled citadel for shopping. Partially in response to Houston's hot, humid climate, architects HOK and Neuhaus & Taylor created an environment where shoppers could park in a climate-controlled structure, walk through an enclosed skyway, and enter into the mall without ever touching the city or breathing outside air. The Galleria became not just a place to shop but an oasis that provided respite from Houston's long summers.
Hines also actively sought to bring to Texas stores that had not previously had a presence in the state. From Chicago he imported Marshall Field's and Crate & Barrel, and from New York he brought Lord & Taylor, Macy's, and Tiffany's. Although these stores have a ubiquitous presence in shopping malls today, their arrival in Houston was seen as a reflection of the city's growing wealth and status.
With the success of the Galleria, the shopping mall was fully leveraged as a catalyst for wider urban development. The surrounding Uptown area of Houston grew throughout the 1970s and 80s to essentially become a city unto itself. With its own skyline and as much office space as many traditional urban centers, the area around the Galleria represented a new type of edge city that would become increasingly commonplace on the interstate loops of cities throughout America.
The cliche is that the key to any retail project is "location, location, location," and while it is true that each of these three developments enjoyed a favorable address, their architecture proved to be an equally critical reason for their success. These projects show that good design brings sustained value over the course of many years. Most shopping centers go through a predictable cycle of growth followed by decay and ultimate closure, yet all three of these projects have remained vibrant centers of commerce for many decades.
Part of the Galleria's lasting legacy is that it taught Texas developers about the importance of good architecture. By hiring notable talent to design individual stores (Philip Johnson, for example, designed the Marshall Field's), Hines succeeding in creating an engaging shopping environment that was an attraction in itself. The success of the Galleria catapulted his career forward, and he would go on to work with other "starchitects" including I. M. Pei, Cesar Pelli, and Frank Gehry. In doing so, he proved that speculative projects could gain demonstrable value through design. Texas cities are more interesting places as a result.
It is an ironic twist that these private retail projects, often designed to mimic grand civic spaces in Europe, have at times presented favorable alternatives to the public spaces provided by Texas cities. While there will always be a need for public parks and plazas, the role of the shopping mall has become one of similar social significance. Nasher saw this fact not as an indictment of the low quality of our public spaces, but rather as a lofty goal that retail architecture should aspire to achieve. Indeed, he saw his mall as having a social responsibility to "serve as a catalyst to link art and business for the benefit of all."
The annual ARTsPARK event held at NorthPark Center reinforces Nasher's original goal. Arts and cultural organizations from Dallas and the surrounding counties come together to encourage the public to make art a part of their everyday lives. Painters and sculptors set up alongside live performances by dancers and children's theater groups, filling the corridors of NorthPark with activity centered on local contemporary arts one day each spring. This event is not only a catalyst that links the arts and business for the benefit of all, but also a tribute to the creation and encouragement of community through good architectural design.

What make Temple Coffee sourcing different? Well, for one we are initiating a few new, ground-breaking, coffee industry firsts, sourcing projects or as I like to call them, "Missions" for 2013. Here's a short tidbit about our Brazil project that has been in the works since July, 2012. We are now just starting to taste the fruits of our planning…
In Brazil, many of the farms and producers are large, cigar smoking, single malt scotch drinking, old-boys cub business men. Coffee is largely produced on massive estates, sun farmed, row-planted, mechanically strip picked, mechanically dried, and brought to you by your favorite grocery store brand as 100% Arabica. I am not trying to paint a bad picture here, mechanization is not a bad thing, and I have cupped many coffees that were mechanically dried carefully to produce a great cup. I have also been known, on occasion to be one of those cigar smoking, single malt scotch drinking, guys on my best weekends. All puns aside, there is a demand for that type of product, and us Specialty Coffee guys, or rather coffee-revolutionists/3rd wavers/people who care, wouldn't be here if it weren't for the masses enjoying market grade coffees, and slowly transitioning into Premium and Specialty Coffees.
Now, what makes Temple's sourcing different? Well… we like many great roasters attempt to offer a Brazil 365 days a year, and rely on it heavily for blending and espresso. The tricky part, is to support the small farmers who enjoy the fresh mountain air to cigars, and clean water to scotch, get great coffees of different quality levels, and support that farmers community, family, and ecological surroundings. Now, this may seem easy, or fairly easy, but not so. Most small producers do not harvest nearly enough coffee to support even us, as a micro-roaster for our yearly needs, and, even if they do, typically not 100% of their crop is up to our personal standards or needs. In order to resolve this situation, we are working with 5 smaller farmers, in different regions of Brazil in order to fulfill our needs for 2013. The outline for the project is:
- 1 full shipping container (Yep… a lot of coffee…)
- 5 Producers
- Bulk-type 85-87 point coffee from each producer
- 10 bags of Micro-Lot type, 90+ point coffee from each producer
- Pricing for the bulk lots are more than double FairTrade price
- Pricing for the Micro-Lots are about 4 times FairTrade price
Here's the explanation… by selecting producers whom are already producing nice coffees, around 86-88pt coffees, we can have them process each picking or lot separately. Variation between lots can vary dramatically due to ripeness of the cherries, harvest time, weather, etc. By keeping each lot separate, we get to cup a range of coffees, typically from 82-92 points. Normally, these coffees are blended together by someone in the supply chain. By keeping them separate, we decrease the "overall" score of the coffee by skimming the top 1% (our micro-lots), and blending the rest to sell for a lesser price to market. This is where most companies stop, leaving the producer with a slightly degraded product to sell to the masses. We have not.
We are also committed to purchase the rest of the producers' coffee after skimming the cream for our micro-lots. After taking the best, we blend our 5 different producers bulk coffee together. Since it is from different micro-regions that carry distinct terroir, blending of these coffees results in an amazingly complex coffee, perfect for our Dharma espresso and House blend that is fully traceable, sustainable, and direct, from our 5 producer friends who got paid very well for their efforts.
Hope this brings you some insight into what make us different. Stay tuned for updates on this project, as well as next week when I will post about our Africa Project and then our Central America Project.

Open Borders America
- We can endlessly bitch at Dear Leader Obama for importing Muslims, but there is a GOP controlled Congress that is doing nothing about closing the borders to Muslims or any other group.
(Washington Examiner) - President Barack Obama has no plans to revisit his proposal to allow Syrian refugees in the the United States, even after reports that one of the terrorists in the Paris attack Friday entered France disguised as a refugee.
When pressed by "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace, White House Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said they are not "reconsidering" their plan to take in nearly 10,000 Syrian refugees, a plan that has been panned by many GOP 2016 candidates in the wake of the brutal terror attack, which left 129 dead and 350 injured.
"One of the attackers in the French slaughter was carrying a Syrian passport that seemed to indicate that he had been a refugee that had come into Europe along with a flood of migrants in October," Wallace said. "Given that, is President Obama reconsidering his plan to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year?"
"No, Chris, we're still planning to take in Syrian refugees," Rhodes said. "We have very robust vetting procedures for those refugees. It involves our intelligence community, our national counter-terrorism center, extensive interviews, vetting them against all information."Read More . . . .

Set amid the countryside of Castelluzzo, Gli Ulivi lies a few kilometres from San Vito Lo Capo, with a magnificent view over the Golfo di Macari. It is a typical old stone house, and although it forms part of a group of such small rustic houses, or casolari, it is completely independent.
The villa is immersed in a centuries-old olive grove, and overlooks a swimming pool. It is been restored with great respect for the qualities of the original building – bare stone walls, antique resin on the floors, antique ethnic doors and window frames – but also with an eye on functionality and comfort. There is air conditioning, a satellite TV, and all mod cons.
The villa - Gli Ulivi - is ideal for a holiday in typical Sicilian countryside, a few kilometres from one of the region's most beautiful beaches.

That doesn't mean that I always do what other people want me to, but I will very likely worry about what the other people think of me--to the point where I question myself and my decisions. It becomes a little obsessive as I ruminate over whether or not I'm doing the right thing.
Sometimes I want someone else to make the choices for me so that I don't have to. Or I'll ask someone's opinion but then get upset when they don't agree with me, because what I was really looking for was validation that my opinion was correct. I don't like the idea of not having approval--for whatever reason!
"You're in charge of your own life."
That sentence opened my eyes to my behavior. I'm in charge of my own life. I can do what I want, make the decisions that I want, and even if others disagree with me--it ultimately doesn't matter. It's my life. (of course I mean that with all respect to my husband because in some areas it's our life)
It has changed the way I think. I recently had a conversation in which I could tell that the other person didn't agree with something I was doing. In the past, that would have really bothered me and I would have had a pity party knowing that I wasn't getting their approval. But you know what? It didn't bother me one bit this time... because it's my life.
The only approval I need is God's.
Why has it taken me 30 years to realize my behaviors? I have no idea. But I'm glad that I did.
Yep, this song came to mind!

I do know myself
It's you I don't know ..
I have this weak heart,
I can easily fall ..
As I lean on a fake wall
White night or blue
With my Guitar or no
Cause I'm not even true ..
Replacing my heart with a hole !
Sun trying to cry with me
But why would the sun cry ?
Moon is watching the steps of me
Telling me to fly !
In a blue night ..
With no trace left of light
I surrender !

Once Upon A Time
But suddenly I became good with words,
Word after word ..
With no way to return !
Have you ever heard me singing ?
Or composing poems ?
Have you ever heard me crying ?
Or even wipe away my tears ?
You'll never be, part of me …
I was singing …
And my voice was breaking the silence,
Revealing the angelic faces ..
Word after word ,
And Smiling !
Have you ever saw me dancing ?
Or training my feet ?
Have you ever saw my falling ?
Or rising up again ?
You'll never be, part of me …
I was singing …
And thinking of you once again
Is there any way to return ?
Cause my heart's getting so mean …
And it may be broken once again
Have you ever tried to sing ?
Or even dance ?
Have you ever ...?
But I know,
You'll never be one of thy

Yesterday ...
Yesterday, He was just a boy
Yesterday, She was just a girl
They were playing,
With their dreams
The play of hide and seek
They planted their love seeds
In the middle of the sea
To grow as a young city
Chose stormy dreams
The dreams of a fighting city
Seemed so far away...
In yesterday!

A poem For "Yeats"
He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
Enwrought with the golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams ...
- William Butler Yeats

Targeted Citizen by "Adala group"
Targeted Citizen - English from Adalah on Vimeo.
The film "Targeted Citizen" (15 minutes), produced by filmmaker Rachel Leah Jones for Adalah, surveys discrimination against the Palestinian citizens of Israel. With the participation of experts Dr. Yousef Jabareen of the Technician and Dr. Khaled Abu Asbeh of the Van Leer Institute, as well as Adalah attorneys Sawsan Zaher, Abeer Baker and Hassan Jabareen, inequality in land and housing, employment, education and civil and political rights are eloquently addressed.
These interviews are reinforced by the contrasting informality of on-the-street conversations conducted by Palestinian comic duo Shammas-Nahas and punctuated by the hard-hitting rhymes of Palestinian rap trio DAM. The film's theme song "Targeted Citizen," written and recorded by DAM especially for Adalah, tells it like it is without missing a beat.

After four days ..
Today is April 2 .. I can't Believe that!
I don't know what will happen in my coming Birthday .. I bet it'll be the same here or there; same people, same acts, same words that I don't even know if it's honest from the heart or some kind of job to do.
I wanna red candle.
I know something -i hope- for sure. I'll make something different to myself this day. something special and I love and maybe alone too. even if I bought a rose. I wanna do in unexpected way. i know something else too, I'll write or put or do something here in "M i N e" and there "my Arabic blog" to be really mine. I'll wait and see what I'll bring to myself.
And hit the Music.

When there are - No More Heroes
A poem to Saartjie "Sarah" Baartman (1789 – 29 December 1816) who was a woman from Khoikhoi people "Africa" taken from her people "1810" and exhibited her as freak show in 19th century - Europe under the name Hottentot Venus—"Hottentot" as the current name for the Khoikhoi people .. She treated like a weird animal, they were allowing people to watch her in this show -in a place like circus- naked and also to touch her butt -specially- cause it was strangely big. They were hitting her to stay standing till the end of the show.
Some say they forced her on prostitution making for money, and that was a great reason for her illness then death. She didn't live any good day far away from her home "South Africa" .. Even after her death, Georges Cuvier the doctor of Napoléon Bonaparte was interested in her body -not only him-; he wanted to see how it looks like inside. So, he made an anatomy operation on her after 24 hours from her death to prove that the African bodies are alike monkeys despite Europeans people as they are the high type "Gender Commissioner". He robbed of the brain and some sensitive parts, and kept them in formalin, and then kept the majority of the structure to make a template for the body. He showed - some say her body and some say only this parts- in Musee de l'Homme (Museum of Mankind) in Paris until 1994.
President Nelson Mandela formally requested to have her remains back from France. After much legal wrangling and debates in the French National Assembly, France accepted the request on 6 March 2002. Her remains were repatriated to her homeland, the Gamtoos Valley, on 6 May 2002 and she was finally laid to rest on 9 August 2002 on Vergaderingskop, a hill in the town of Hankey over 200 years after her birth.
Baartman became an icon in South Africa as representative of many aspects of the nation's history. The Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children, a refuge for survivors of domestic violence, opened in Cape Town in 1999. South Africa's first offshore environmental protection vessel, the Sarah Baartman, is also named after her. The furor over the gender of athlete Caster Semenya has led to comparison with Baartman, as South Africa is, after centuries of racial classification, understandably reluctant to allow outsiders to decide who belongs in one group or another.
P.S from me : Wiki. in English and Arabic contain lots of wrong info & ideas about her. So, take care when you get your info about someone or something so sensitive like this woman and this era.
Nour Badr, Dr. Ahmed Khaled Tawfik and Wiki.
Diana Ferrus, "A poem for Sarah Baartman"
"I've come to take you home "
home, remember the veld?
the lush green grass beneath the big oak trees
the air is cool there and the sun does not burn.
I have made your bed at the foot of the hill,
your blankets are covered in buchu and mint,
the proteas stand in yellow and white
and the water in the stream chuckle sing-songs
as it hobbles along over little stones.
I have come to wrench you away -
away from the poking eyes
of the man-made monster
who lives in the dark
with his clutches of imperialism
who dissects your body bit by bit
who likens your soul to that of Satan
and declares himself the ultimate god!
I have come to soothe your heavy heart
I offer my bosom to your weary soul
I will cover your face with the palms of my hands
I will run my lips over lines in your neck
I will feast my eyes on the beauty of you
and I will sing for you
for I have come to bring you peace.
I have come to take you home
where the ancient mountains shout your name.
I have made your bed at the foot of the hill,
your blankets are covered in buchu and mint,
the proteas stand in yellow and white -
I have come to take you home
where I will sing for you
for you have brought me peace."

Omens ...
Santiago, ..... Can you tell meYour Secret ?
Im Following My Disteny .. It's not something You would Understand ! - The Alchemist
When I hear this lost far of Piano music, I know that I can be in some kind of old lost land where the sunset is a New Bearth for everything. When it rains in the Desert and I can watch the Rainbow over this white mountains. When I can Sing freely with cardinals sad songs.
I don't know, if it's a bad luck or not for me, not being a shepherd; but inside of me I know that I'm a traveler. My Soul is walking around freely with the sound of winds hearing the voice of God so clearly that she find it so hard to believe some times, but she knows it's True.
Santiago, What kind of trips was his? Did he aim to show us our Destiny? … Santiago wasn't a normal boy, maybe he didn't admit it. His sheep know it, because she was keeping his heart as Angels. He felt it he express it in his own way. All his way, from Andalusia to Egypt, was his own rich journey that's why he said "I'm following My Destiny" and that's why I can say that he wasn't show us our Destiny as much as he was an Omen to us !
"I'm Following My Destiny .. It's not something You would Understand !" that's exactly what he said to make us meet the Alchemist of us; it's our true spirit that can create our rare gold and make our own treasure. Now, can you see the Omen ?
When an old Mosque built beside an old Church, I see peace. When the moon meets the sun, I see passion. And, when a Grain of the vaccine fly held by the wind, I see love.. I see the beginning of everything. I see it as an Omen of Santiago and Fatima.

And I don't mean The Good Kind of Sick like writing Lezbean Pron under a pseudonym such as Idontsuk Weinerscnitzel - not that kind of sick.
I was supposed to have some surgery done tomorrow, but since I flat don't feel good, I had to re-schedule it for early December - that kind of sick.
In light of this Tragic Turn of Events, and by "Tragic Turn of Events" I naturally mean "here's another episode of ......."
Best of Dumbass News!
It takes a Special Breed of Dumbass to rob a bank.
One Dumbass held up a bank, fled the premises and then, realizing the meager amount of money he had stolen, went back into the bank to get more!
Another Shit-For-Brains knocked over a bank, got the cash and quickly exited the place and promptly hopped into his getaway bus! A City bus.
Ramping up the Dumbassery to astronomical heights was a chick named Jasmyne. After one of her bank heists, she went home and promptly implicated herself on Facebook!
While today's story involves a bank robbery, there's a twist to it that would make Chubby Checker contort himself up like a pretzel.
Let me splain.
Film at Eleven
On a recent night a Guy in Byron Township, Meech-i-gan was settling down at home getting ready to watch the local TV news.
One of the stories on that evening's newscast was of the robbery of a local Bank of America branch. The Thief was a schlub (in this case a female schlub) who needed some money to support her habit. The Female Schlub presented the bank teller with a note saying that she was robbing the bank in order to do some good stuff for her grand kids. Of course, in this case, "grand kids" means "crack cocaine".
|God Bless America!
There is a good reason that the face of the alleged crook rang a bell with The Guy.
It was his mother!
Upon seeing his mother, as recorded by a bank surveillance camera, on Eyewitness News at 11, plastered across TV screens all over Meech-i-gan, The Guy could have reacted in numerous ways.
Let us explore those ways:
- Hi, Ma!
- Neat! Mom's on TV!
- Mom has a shirt just like the one that lady is wearing!
- Damn, that's one ugly bitch!
- Holy shit! That ugly bitch is my Mom!
- All right! My college loans will be paid off!
- Except I didn't go to college.
- I can finally get a new X-Box!
- Dammit! Mom's going to prison! Now I have to move out of her basement!
- Call the cops.
And Mom's on her way to The Big House .....and I don't mean that Big Ass Football Stadium in Ann Arbor.

A strange thing happens after you've been an expat for a while. You start feeling for your adopted country, if not pride, then at least an unconscious affinity. It's like looking out for your hometown football team's result every week, even though you say you don't really care.
I spent Christmas away from South Africa, in the United States, where affairs in Pretoria are not exactly big news. Driving around the snowbound woods of upstate New York, or dining in the majestic commuter cathedral of Grand Central Station, I recalled John Lennon's observation: "If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Where else? Today, America is the Roman empire, and New York is Rome itself. New York is the centre of the earth." Which makes Johannesburg, presumably, somewhere between Carthage and Pluto.
But South Africa hopes the centre of gravity is about to shift, at least in terms of soft power. In this country, mention "Twenty-ten" and you're not talking about a mere year; it is shorthand for the football World Cup finals, to be hosted by South Africa from mid-June to mid-July. Never before has Africa staged a football World Cup or Olympic games.
Politicians speak of the World Cup in the same breath as the victory over racial apartheid 16 years ago. Jacob Zuma, the president, said in his new year's address that this is "the most important year in our country since 1994". He described the football tournament as "the greatest marketing opportunity of our time".
An editorial in South Africa's Sunday Times proclaimed: "The year 2010 is in many ways going to define who we are and what we want to be. The eyes of the world will be on us and we will be scrutinised to see whether we are worthy of a place among the world's leading nations."
On Twitter, someone opined hopefully: "In 2010 South Africa becomes the centre of the world. The Americans will not be impressed."
But "Twenty-ten" itself, this monumental, epochal year to end all years, arrived last week with more of a miaow than a roar.
Johannesburg, or Jozi, has been erecting banners that describe itself as a "world class city". New Year's Eve, however, suggested it still has some way to go.
Yes, there was the annual carnival in Newtown, with stilt-walkers, musicians and dancers playing to a football theme. But it was all over by three in the afternoon. The rains came and restaurants were closing their doors. Local listings guides revealed a few parties here and there, but no evident focal point to join merry throngs in counting down to midnight.
Sydney had its usual orgy of fireworks on the harbour bridge. London would put on a supernova explosion around the Eye. New York would unleash fire and confetti in Times Square. Johannesburg had Mary Fitzgerald Square. "It was just me, myself and I, and the cameraman partying out from the early evening here," said a desperate-looking Jody Jacobs of e.tv's 24-hour news channel. "People were expecting a big party on the square but obviously that's not happening here tonight."
Jacobs interviewed a couple of would-be partygoers wearing South African national football shirts. "I came all this way and it's quiet here," one complained from among a noisy crowd. "I need some party now!"
Another said: "I was expecting to party. We're so disappointed. South Africa, come on! I have decided to leave this place because there's no party. I want to party. I want to welcome 2010."
In past years the square has hosted a new year's concert, but it had been cancelled this time because the city no longer had the money.
People were out on the streets in Hillbrow, a notoriously rough inner city area. A baby was hit on the head with a brick just before midnight and is in a critical condition.
But most apparently saw in the new year at home, which is how they'll spend most of the next 365 evenings here. Johannesburg is that kind of city: its residents generally drive to shopping malls, work out in gyms rather than risk jogging the mean streets and hunker down at night behind high walls and electrified fences. Many restaurants, galleries and theatres shut down altogether over Christmas and new year.
Perhaps there will be a better, more cohesive sense of occasion when the World Cup arrives six months from now. Perhaps South Africa will indeed become the centre of the world. But any nation that stakes its self-worth on a sporting event might be in trouble, although of course the link between on-field success and politics is a favourite saw.
British prime minister Harold Wilson's defeat in the 1970 general election has been blamed on England's exit from the World Cup a few days earlier.
It would certainly be dangerous to think of the World Cup as a magic bullet. In a new book, Soccernomics, Stefan Szymanski and Simon Kuper argue that the link between hosting a World Cup and national regeneration is a myth. The authors say that the revenue generated in South Africa will not be enough to cover the costs of building new stadiums, likely to become white elephants once the party is over.
Money that could have been spent on bringing water and electricity to impoverished townships, they argue, will instead go on first-class flights and hotels for foreign guests.
When the World Cup draw was held last month in Cape Town, I watched on TV like millions of other people around the world and felt not quite local and not quite foreign. Zuma appeared on stage and I could imagine many international viewers asking, "Who's that guy?" Here in South Africa, that guy is "our" guy, though maybe not quite "my" guy.

Photographer of the Year 2009
Gathered in a darkened boardroom, three of the finest editorial photographers in New Zealand pressed their noses to a screen and pored, one-by-one, through nearly 2000 images submitted for the New Zealand Geographic Photographer of the Year competition. Each was examined for content, composition, technical expertise, light, depth, and the very individual contribution that each photographer made to the subject before them.
There was the point-and-shoot fraternity who had invested a minimum and blazed away, but others had positioned themselves, timed the moment, measured the distance, exposure and composition with care to create a photograph that stood apart from the rest. And those photographers prepared to go the distance could make an equally compelling portrait of a native heron as they could a dirty rat. Those entering the culture category caught the judges' attention for studies as diverse as para-sailing and window frames, each subject examined with visual literacy and attention to detail.
The landscape section, for instance, was particularly well-subscribed to, hardly surprising given the affection Kiwis have for their environment. But we were slower to turn the camera on ourselves to examine our society and culture through the lens—there were just 200 entries in the culture category. Perhaps we are camera-shy as a culture, perhaps private, perhaps simply confused about what New Zealand culture is. Those who rose to the top in this category were worthy winners, but we look forward to more photographers fixing their focus upon our people next year.
Tobias Bernhard, the 2009 New Zealand Geographic Photographer of the Year, demonstrated a remarkable consistency of technical expertise and vision in his image-making.
His photographs were stark studies of life above and below the waterline, illuminating his subjects and lifting them from the background with judicious lighting.The image of a Galapagos shark at the Kermadecs is arresting in its simplicity, the snapper in kelp a cleverly constructed mosaic that requires the viewer to look on the underwater realm with fresh eyes, and the tui on flax, of which there were so many entries in this competition, is bathed in the ethereal glow of the day's last light. Ultimately, the entries told us much about what moves New Zealand photographers.
