Gifu is very famous for Takayama area and Shirakawago village. Year by year, many of foreigners visit there. Gifu has been working on the problems of international tourists so that anyone from overseas can enjoy sightseeing in the good old town.
Shirakawago is the small Gassho Zukuri village located at the foot of mountains in northwestern Gifu Prefecture. 114 thatched roof stand together in the village. The village itself was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Here is very popular because visitors can feel as if in the world of some fairly tail. Especially, winter is the most popular season due to the fantastic scenery with snow.
Hida Takayama
Gero Onsen
Gero Onsen is one of Japan's three best Onsen and famous for the waters which have retained that special quality. Gero is located between Nagoya and Takayama, about an hour south of Takayama. This makes it a convenient stopover, or an attractive alternative to stay during the Takayama Festival, when lodging is difficult to find in Takayama.

Daniel's Life
Biblical Reference:
Old Testament Book of Daniel
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim (BC 606), Daniel and three other youths named Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were among the Jewish young nobility carried off to Babylon, along with some of the vessels of the first temple. Daniel and his three Jewish companions were subsequently evaluated and chosen for their intellect and beauty, to be trained as Chaldeans, who constituted the ranks of the advisors to the Babylonian court. (Daniel 1)
There Daniel was obliged to enter into the service of the king of Babylon, and in accordance with the custom of the age, received the Chaldean name of Belteshazzar, i.e., prince of Bel, or Bel protect the king!(not to be confused with the neo-Babylonian king, Belshazzar). His residence in Babylon was very probably in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar, now identified with a mass of mounds called the Kasr, on the right bank of the river. However, Daniel and his three companions remained fiercely loyal to their Jewish religious and cultural identity, an identity which would sooner or later come into conflict with the paganism of the Babylonian court.
Daniel's training (Daniel 1:4) was to fit him for service to the empire. Daniel became distinguished during this period for his piety, and for his strict observance of the Torah (Daniel 1:8-16), and gained the confidence and esteem of those who were over him.
At the close of his three years of discipline and training in the royal schools, Daniel was distinguished for his knowledge and proficiency in the pagan practices of his day, and was brought out into public life. He soon became known for his skill in the interpretation of dreams (Daniel 1:17; Daniel 2:14). Daniel made known and interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream; as well as a later dream preceding the king's descent into animal behaviour, and many years afterwards, when he was now an old man, amid the alarm and consternation of the terrible night of Belshazzar's impious feast (in which Belshazzar and his concubines drank wine out of the royal Jewish ceremonial goblets of the Temple), Daniel was called in at the suggestion of the queen-mother to interpret the mysterious handwriting on the wall. For successfully reading the cryptic handwriting by an angel of God, Daniel was rewarded by the Babylonians with a purple robe and elevation to the rank of "third ruler" of the kingdom. It is believed that the place of "second ruler" was held by Belshazzar as associated with his father, Nabonidus, on the throne (Daniel 5:16), though no where in the book of Daniel is Nabonidus mentioned by name and according to the book of Daniel Nebuchadnezzar was the father of Belshazzar. Daniel interpreted the handwriting, and "in that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain" by his own sons, who later fled.
After the Persian conquest of Babylon, Daniel held the office of the first of the "three presidents" of the empire under the reign of the obscure figure of Darius the Mede, and was thus practically at the head of state affairs, with the ability to influence the prospects of the captive Jews (Daniel 9), whom he had at last the happiness of seeing restored to their own land; although he did not return with them, but remained still in Babylon.
Daniel's Answer to the King by Briton Rivière, R.A. (1840-1920), 1890 (Manchester City Art Gallery).
Daniel's fidelity to God exposed him to persecution by jealous rivals within the king's administration. The fact that he had just interpreted the emperors' dream had resulted in his promotion and that of his companions. Being favored by the King, Cyrus the Great, he was untouchable. His companions were vulnerable to the accusation that had them thrown into the furnace for refusing to worship the Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar as a god; but they were miraculously saved, and Daniel would years later be cast into a den of lions (for continuing to practice his faith in YAHUWAH), but was miraculously delivered; after which Cyrus issued a decree enjoining reverence for "the God of Daniel" (Daniel 6:26). He "prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Great," whom he probably greatly influenced in the matter of the decree which put an end to the Jewish Captivity (BC 536).
Daniel's ministry as a prophet began late in life. Whereas his early exploits were a matter of common knowledge within his community, these same events, with his pious reputation, serve as the basis for his prophetic ministry. The recognition for his prophetic message is that of other prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel whose backgrounds are the basis for their revelations.
The time and circumstances of Daniel's death have not been recorded. However, tradition maintains that Daniel was still alive in the third year of Cyrus according to the Tanakh (Daniel 10:1). He would have been almost 100 years old at that point, having been brought to Babylon when he was in his teens, more than 80 years previously. Many posit that he possibly died at Susa in Iran. Tradition holds that his tomb is located in Susa at a site known as Shush-e Daniyal. Other locations have been claimed as the site of his burial, including Daniel's Tomb in Kirkuk, Iraq, as well as Babylon, Egypt, Tarsus and, notably, Samarkand, which claims a tomb of Daniel (see "The Ruins of Afrasiab" in the Samarkand article), with some traditions suggesting that his remains were removed, perhaps by Tamerlane, from Susa to Samarkand (see, for instance, Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela, section 153).

Overconfidence Ruining Climate Debate
Global warming activists are working hard to prime the public, politicians, and the press to support what they hope will be the largest climate change agreement ever this December in Paris. For the rest of 2015, all other environmental campaigns will take a back seat. The goal is to create a situation in which our negotiators feel compelled to agree to a new United Nations treaty to "save the climate," no matter the cost.
Besides last month's Earth Hour, an event that has always focused on "changing climate change," to quote their current motto, the environmental movement has increasingly let climate activists take center stage. For example, this year, April 18 – 23, is designated Climate Education Week, dedicated to teaching students the Earth Day Network's position on climate change.
Across the world, thousands of political, academic, religious, and corporate entities are joining the cause. Even the pope will soon make a UN announcement in support of strong action to curb "greenhouse gas emissions" (GHG) that are supposedly threatening global climate.
But there is a serious ethical problem here.
Reports such as those of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) illustrate that debate rages in the scientific community about the causes and consequences of climate change. Yet environmentalists and most of our leaders present the issue as if "the science is settled." We know with certainty, they claim, that our GHG emissions will cause a planetary emergency unless we radically change the way we generate energy.
This position is perhaps best summed up by the climate activist group 350.org, which asserts on its web site that "one thing is no longer up for debate: our climate is changing profoundly and rapidly, and human activity is the cause…to preserve a livable planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 400 parts per million to below 350 ppm."
Independent of the findings of the NIPCC reports, the confidence of campaigners such as 350.org is irrational. Uncertainty is inherent to all science, especially one as immature and complicated as climate change. And considering what's at stake -- a human-induced eco-collapse if alarmists are correct, or, if skeptics are right, a waste of trillions of dollars and a loss of millions of jobs -- properly assessing the probabilities of alternative scenarios is critically important to public policy decision-making.
We take uncertainties into account all the time when we make decisions in other fields. In assessing the value of life insurance, for example, both buyer and seller must assess risk. If they knew for sure that a person was about to die, no company would underwrite a life insurance policy for that individual. If it was certain that the insuree would live to 100, then there would be little need for life insurance at all. Deciding how much to invest in insurance versus our other expenses is a risk management exercise. We must admit that we do not know the future, while having the courage to make decisions based on an assessment of the evidence we do have.
Yet, in formulating public policy on climate change, our leaders gloss over the uncertainties and close the door to evidence that does not fit the alarmist agenda. Anyone, no matter how qualified, who questions this approach is shunned as a "denier."
So even in countries that can least afford it, governments spend vast sums to reduce emissions and encourage "green" energy sources. Rather than concentrating on activities we know will yield real benefits -- helping the poor adapt to natural climate variability and take advantage of inexpensive fossil fuel resources -- politicians trumpet speculative plans to regulate our planet's climate. "We must limit global warming to two degrees," is their battle cry, as if we had a global thermostat.
Consequently, of the $1 billion spent worldwide every day on climate finance, 94% goes to mitigation, trying to control future climate (re: the San Francisco-based Climate Policy Initiative [CPI]). Only 6% is dedicated to adaptation. Astonishingly, in developing countries, even less, an abysmal 5%, goes to adaptation. We are valuing the security of people yet to be born more than those suffering today.
This could make sense if we were confident that human-caused climate Armageddon lay just ahead. Millions of people would be left to suffer and die today to save billions in the future.
But as the degree of certainty that a particular climate policy will significantly benefit future generations diminishes, today's adaptation to mitigation funding ratio becomes less and less rational. Finally, if we knew that a human-induced climate crisis was not in the cards, then it would be easy to justify that no money be devoted to mitigation at all. Aside from "no regrets" policies to conserve energy and reduce pollution where it is a problem, all climate finance could then safely be devoted to helping vulnerable societies adapt to climate variability and funding research so that someday we may be able to meaningfully forecast future climate.
So the climate debate should be focused on trying to answer one simple question: how likely is it that a man-made climate crisis lies ahead?
To help them gather the evidence needed to answer this question, governments must convene open, unbiased hearings into the current state of the science, arranging that experts on all sides of the debate testify. Only then will they be able to conduct the risk management necessary to balance the known needs of those suffering today with the possible problems to be faced by future generations.
When the crusade to stop climate change finally collapses, the environmental movement will be disgraced, and their non-climate related causes will also no longer be taken seriously. This, not hypothetical future climate states, is what should most concern today's environmentalists. Its time they kicked climate campaigners off the stage.

Port Shepstone at a glance
Port Shepstone is the commercial, administrative and educational hub of KwaZulu-Natal's South Coast. It is the place where "the home of all rivers" - the Mzimkulu River - joins with the sea. It is one of KZN's largest South Coast towns and is home to 52 793 people.
Located 120 km from Durban, residents of Port Shepstone are served by two hospitals, a number of shopping centres and malls and a local police station.
Port Shepstone's unspoiled 18km of coastline with its sandy beaches and the warm Indian Ocean current makes it a popular holiday destination. On this piece of coastline, you can swim with the dolphins and take an unforgettable whale-watching boat trip.
Its diverse attractions and activities include fishing, jet-skiing, scuba diving, ski-boating, snorkelling, surfing and swimming. The Port Shepstone Country club has one of the most beautiful golf courses on the lower south coast and boasts a Par 72 Championship course, bowling greens, cricket pitch and clubhouse.
The Mzimkulu River banks are filled with an abundance of birdlife, while the river itself is ideal for boating, canoeing, river rafting, water-skiing and windsurfing. The area is also teeming with wildlife and animals such as antelope, baboons and leopards can be seen at the nearby nature reserves.
Apart from all of these leisure-hour activities, Port Shepstone has a stable, permanent residential community, with 70% of its population in the 50 to 65 year-plus category. However, the character of the area is changing with 29% of recent property sales made to buyers in the 36 to 49 year age group. This trend is understandable, as Port Shepstone has a thriving economy offering diverse job opportunities and is well served by both primary and tertiary schools.
The stability of the area is also reflected by its housing stock, with more than 79% (7 287) comprising freehold properties. The town does have 1 607 sectional title units, which is close to 17.5% of the entire residential components of the town.
It is undoubtedly the price of home ownership that is attracting more investors to Port Shepstone. The average price of a freestanding home is an affordable R957 000, while sectional title units average appealing sales tickets of R679 000. These prices are undeniably attractive to younger families, as well as to retirees who have to live on fixed monthly incomes.

disclaimer: this worked on my machine. It might not on yours, so if you brick it, don't blame me.
In a couple of previous posts, I talked about my somewhat entertaining (if you are easily entertained) attempts to get Windows 8 RC to run under BootCamp without issue, and with all of the software and hardware that I require to use it as my full time machine, which essentially boiled down to getting the touchpad to work with secondary click, etc., FaceTime support, and the ability to use my Clear 4G USB stick when out at client sites, or travelling, etc.
A few things have changed since then. Obviously, Windows 8 went from RC to RTM. Also, although they aren't officially Windows 8 drivers, Clear did update the drivers at the end of July (though I can't really find a change doc to see what they fixed).
So, with all of that, the process has been much easier (you can upgrade a base Windows 7 install to Windows 8, run the BootCamp driver setup program, and everything is recognized straight away, except (I just noticed), some HD audio device), and I can finally use my Clear services (not just once, but after a reboot as well).
There were two main steps that I performed:
1) Do something from an admin command prompt to disable the signed device check (again, this works on my machine, if you try it on yours and a kitten dies, it's not my fault). From the older forum thread found here, davehc taught us well:
The program might be just simply unable to run in Windows 8 at present. But you can disable the driver signing and try again: Open a Command Prompt (Run as Administrator). On the command prompt type BCDEDIT –Set LoadOptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and enter. A message will say "Command successful" Now type BCDEDIT –Set TESTSIGNING ON. If, for any reason, you want to change back to the default, repeat the steps but with the commands BCDEDIT –Set LoadOptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and BCDEDIT –Set TESTSIGNING ON Restart the computer.
Once you restart the computer, in the lower right, it will tell you that Windows 8 is running in test mode. I don't know what that is or what that means and am currently too lazy to Google it, so knock yourself out.
Afterwards, I right-clicked on the Clear install package and chose the "Troubleshoot Compatibility" option, which determined it needed to be run under Windows XP Service Pack 3 mode, and ran it did. I then chose to run the connection manager itself under that mode, and voila. It worked.
Then I rebooted. And it still worked.
Almost makes me want to go out and get one of the new 8 GB MacBook Air machines.
Shouldn't Visual Studio be able to handle this by now, without multiple prompts about files needing to be overwritten (at best) or total failures because of files being read-only (see previous post about NuGet)?
Seems like a rather obvious requirement for basic functionality.
So, I'm already annoyed in finding out that, a) when you try to upgrade Windows 8 RC to RTM, there is no upgrade apparently, just a new install, b) Johnny the idiot developer forgot a check in and lost a day's worth of work.
Fine. But what I still hate about NuGet is how fundamentally broken it seems to be, at least when it plays with TFS. I have the 'disable integration' nuget config setting set to false. I tell it to download any missing packages (and of course there are missing packages, since I'm refreshing from TFS the entire source code as it is a new Windows install) upon build. Does it? Nope. I go to manage packages for solution and use the pretty little GUI to manage packages. Does it allow me to properly install packages in various projects? Nope. I go to the command line and tell it to fucking install MvcContrib. It tells me it is already installed. I tell it to fucking uninstall, it says it does. I absolutely fucking tell it to install MvcContrib, it says it is already installed.
ANYTIME you pull code from a repository on a clean machine, it should ALWAYS build AUTOMATICALLY (there are rare exceptions, and just because it builds doesn't mean it will run (you might have to install, say SQL Server, first). I guess Visual Studio 2012 is supposed to handle all of this for you (theoretically, VS 2010 is as well, but that also never worked, recently I had to uninstall Nuget management completely from a solution at work because of it), except it doesn't work right.
Why is that? Hard to tell. In some cases, it is because there is a pending check in on package files, and apparently it won't let you anything until you do a check in. Also, when you have a shared project, it appears that if you try to make changes to it in the 'wrong' solution, the directory where it stores packages is in the 'wrong' place and so it gets confused.
So, I'm probably going to go back to the old fashioned way of manually putting all of my DLLs into a directory that can then be put in source control, so that I can actually get to work on replacing the lost day's worth of work instead of trying to get Nuget to fucking d0 what it is supposed to do.
Gosh, we love the cloud. I mean, who couldn't? Well, one obvious case would be when you can't access it.
In this particular case, I am logged into Skydrive just fine and dandy, but I will continually get prompted for my account information, which will be continually rejected.
I thought I had figured it out. Sometimes, you need to go into control panel and delete your credentials from Credential Manager (in my case, what happens is I'm logged into some Microsoft related site with my Hotmail account, another with my Office 365 account, and yet another with my Earthlink account. For whatever reason, deleting the credential for MicrosoftOffice2015_Data (which for whatever reason is how it is listed) got Office 2013 to accept my login.
However, this only resolved it once. Since then, about once every 36 hours, I have this issue. The only solution at that point? Wait for it to go away. Yep, just wait. Logging out doesn't help, rebooting doesn't help. Just wait 8 hours or so. Fantastic.
It should automatically allow you to open some locally cached most recent version and then give you an option to sync up the next time you can connect.

Little Bunting Emberiza pusilla
Rather like a small Reed Bunting (and requiring great care when identifying migrants in autumn), the Little Bunting is a bird of the far north. It breeds in the vast taiga zone with mixed coniferousand birch forest. Rarely, one or two may winter in western Europe.
It is, like many buntings, very much a ground bird most of the time, scuttling about on or very close to ground level even when disturbed. Generally rather quiet and unobtrusive, it is easy to overlook.
VOICE Call short, sharp, ticking zik; song short, high, mixed warble with clicking,rasping, and whistled notes.
NESTING Nest of grass and moss, in hollow on ground under bush; 4 or 5 eggs;1 brood; May–June.
FEEDING Eats insects in summer; picks seeds from ground in autumn.

The past month has brought with it some of the worst coral bleaching in recent years. The severity of the bleaching brought it to the attention of the New York Times, which ran a front-page article on the global bleaching event on April 10. The article provided a short summary of the current extent of the bleaching. Kiribati and the Great Barrier Reef have been more affected than any other reefs at this point in time. Parts of Kiribati are already appearing brown and fuzzy, which means that the corals have died and are being overgrown with macroalgae [1]. The northern part of the Great Barrier Reef has long been considered to be one of the most pristine reefs in the world. Unfortunately, scientists are predicting 50% mortality for the northern part of the reef (Figure 1). Luckily, the remains of a typhoon passed over the southern third of the Great Barrier Reef and were able to bring cooler water and increase the turbidity of the water, which gave the corals temporary relief from the heat and direct sunlight. The southern part of the reef will not see as much bleaching as the northern reef [2].
Fortunately, these past few months have left Hawaiian reefs intact. The "Blob" of hot water that has been stretched between the Americas and Southeast Asia and Australia hasn't expanded up to Hawaii yet. Instead, the Blob appears to be getting smaller, which bodes well for Pacific reefs [1]. The hot water transported by El Niño has also missed Hawaii. The next area affected by El Niño will most likely be the Indian Ocean, which is already starting to experience some bleaching, especially in the Maldives [3]. However, Coral Reef Watch is predicting that temperatures in the northern Pacific Ocean will continue to increase throughout the year (Figures 2 and 3). This makes sense intuitively because the northern hemisphere is just now reaching its hotter months, whereas the southern hemisphere is finally coming to its colder months. Sea surface temperature (SST) largely follows seasonal patterns but lags a bit behind.
Hawaii has not been completely unaffected by the conditions of the last few months. While SST has not gotten high enough to induce mass bleaching, it has been higher than normal (Figure 4). One measure of stress to coral reefs is "degree heating." Degree heating is quantified using two parameters: the number of weeks that the SST has been that high and the difference between the average SST of the hottest month of the year and the average SST of the time period being observed [4]. For example, if a reef experienced a 4°C-heating week it could have experienced one week of temperatures 4°C higher than average, one week of temperatures 2°C higher than average and two weeks of temperatures 1°C higher than average, four weeks of temperatures 1°C higher than average, or a number of other combinations.
Hawaii has not experienced any degree heating weeks (DHWs) in 2016, but had a stretch of almost 12°C-heating weeks in the fall of 2015. Figure 5 shows DHWs and temperatures for the island of Oahu. Last year (2015) is represented with the thin black line. The peak rising from the bottom right of the figure shows how much heat stress the corals had. This year (2016) is represented with the thick black line. Already, you can see that the temperature has been on the warmer end of the "normal" spectrum.
It is likely that more corals in Hawaii will bleach this fall, probably sometime around September. Predictions released by Coral Reef Watch trend towards higher temperatures in the northern hemisphere as the year progresses. The four-month outlook (April – July) reaches a "Watch" in Hawaii, and the weekly outlook for August 28 shows at least a Watch in most of the northern hemisphere (Figures 2 and 3). Based on these models and past temperature trends, it is not a stretch to predict more bleaching this fall in Hawaii.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that climate change and nutrient pollution are combining to have worse effects on coral than either would alone. In a study published in 2015, Michael Gil and colleagues found that herbivores might not be able to counter effects of nutrient addition in real systems. Previous studies have found that herbivores have an effect at small scales, but this research found that at larger scales herbivores are less effective [5]. The study has implications for coral survival because nutrient enrichment increases algal populations and thus increases competition with corals. Herbivores reduce some of this competition, but this study implies that herbivores may not be able to do enough.
Another study done by Keisha Bahr and colleagues provided some good news. Bahr looked at how sensitive five coral species native to Hawaii were to increased temperature and increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the water. The study found that some coral species are particularly resistant to both high temperature and high carbon dioxide concentration. Overall, high temperature caused more mortality than high carbon dioxide concentration, but the study also found that the results varied between species. This has implications for predicting the health of corals in the future because it shows that each coral behaves differently [6].
Together, these studies remind us that although some corals are resilient, we must continue to make efforts to decrease our impacts on the ocean. The recent bleaching event is expected to continue on into 2017, which will make it one of the longest periods of stress for corals in recent history. If we don't want corals to disappear, we must change our actions and increase our efforts to help corals survive.

Hartford, CT (PRWEB) June 18, 2013
As summer quickly approaches, many residents are looking forward to spending plenty of time outdoors. After a brutal winter that saw a 38" snow storm, it's only natural to want to take advantage of the changing season. But if your plans include visiting a beach, golf course, public park or even your own front lawn, you could be in for a nasty surprise. Canada geese are more frequent in the Connecticut and New York area, and with the increase in birds come an overload of common geese problems including toxic and potentially harmful droppings, agricultural damage, flight safety hazards and aggressive behavior.
Many people are unaware of the danger posed by Canada geese. When you see families tossing bread crumbs to the familiar black and white head of these nesting birds, it's hard to imagine any health issues, but the fact is Canada geese, when left unchecked, can create a toxic and unfriendly environment. Canada geese tend to gather near grassy areas, which is why you are likely to find flocks near golf courses, parks and lawns. These birds can be very territorial and will act aggressively if they feel their spot is being threatened. When Canada geese have staked out their territory, it results in massive amounts of droppings that can contain E coli and salmonella, smeared and ruined lawns and an entire section of a park or lawn that is off limits.
Homeowners and groundskeepers have tried many tactics to get rid of Canada geese including an increase in hunting opportunities, chemical sprays and expensive landscaping that have shown limited results at best. Geese are used to being hunted, have proven to be resistant to many pesticides and once they find a spot they like, no matter how you alter it, they will find their way back. Geese Relief, however, approaches geese management through the belief that if you harass them enough, they will tire and leave. Geese Relief achieves this strategy with the use of specially trained working Border Collies, known as goose dogs, that track, stalk and harass geese until the geese give up and vacate the property.
The goose dog method is humane (the dogs are trained to never attack the geese) and cost-effective. Though Border Collies are not known for violence, they do produce a wolf-like stare that has geese convinced they are a natural predator. But Border Collies are known for being persistent and it is highly unlikely any animal, or person for that matter, has the patience and stamina to outlast these determined dogs.
Geese droppings have been responsible for the temporary closure of beaches and parks and have ruined more than a few residential front lawns. Summer is high season for Canada geese and as more start to crowd public and private areas, the need for humane and effective geese control is more important than ever.
Geese Relief, LLC was started in 1997 by Chris Santopietro and is one of Connecticut's and New York's leading goose control and management specialist. Using specially trained working Border Collies, Geese Relief quickly and effectively rids geese populations from schools, corporate parks, home landscapes, golf courses, cemeteries and municipal parks.

Oil pulling, also known as "kavala" or "gundusha," is an ancient Ayurvedic dental technique that involves swishing a tablespoon of oil in your mouth on an empty stomach for around 20 minutes. This action draws out toxins in your body, primarily to improve oral health but also to improve your overall health.
This natural approach to oral hygiene is better for you than using harsher and more abrasive chemicals found in toothpaste and mouthwash.
Coconut oil (cold pressed) works best, add it to your regular brushing and flossing and see what all the hype is about!

National Coming Out Day 2011 marks the one year anniversary of the award-winning webseries NoMoreDownLow.TV focused on the highlighting openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals making a difference in the African American community. New episodes debut every month at www.NoMoreDownLow.TV.
Season Two of NoMoreDownLow.TV kicks off with a new episode today and features segments on:
- 100 Black LGBT Activists go to Capitol Hill and the White House, featuring National Black Justice correspondent Rodney Nickens, Jr.;
- Wanda Sykes Comes Out About Breast Cancer – And world-renown breast cancer expert Dr. Susan Love tells us why black lesbians may be at greater risk for the disease;
- Ivan and Wymond Get Married! Behind-the-scenes of a black gay couple's wedding;
- Plus, watch the top 5 most popular segments on NoMoreDownLow.TV in its first year!
"NoMoreDownLow.TV celebrates National Coming Out Day as our anniversary because we know how important it is to have positive role models in the LGBT black community. Our show focuses attention on out celebrities and gives a voice to people like Cpl. Evelyn Thomas who was on the frontlines of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' fight and transgender heroes like Valerie Spencer," said Earnest Winborne executive producer of NoMoreDownLow.TV.
"Coming out in the black community has its challenges, but there are a lot of successful openly LGBT black people out there. It's as easy as turning on CNN and seeing Don Lemon at the anchor desk or meeting Chonsie Bullock, an out and proud lesbian in Inglewood, who runs her own successful business," said Winborne.
In its first year, NoMoreDownLow.TV has featured interviews with Colin Powell, Wanda Sykes, Magic Johnson, Blair Underwood, Rev. Al Sharpton, Phylicia Rashad, CNN's Don Lemon, Fox Sports host Curt Menefee, Loretta Devine, Kelly Rowland, Jill Scott, Jesse Williams, Roland Martin, Jackée Harry, Duane Cramer, civil rights icon Julian Bond, Doug Spearman, Darryl Stephens and more. Season One shows are available here: http://nomoredownlow.tv/?page_id=17
Earnest Winborne is a 32-year veteran television producer and director, who happens to be gay. He is the executive producer of NoMoreDownLow.TV, a provocative entertainment news show launched last year on "National Coming Out Day" as a way to combat negative stereotypes of same gender loving people in the black community.
Winborne's career path has led him to work with television's biggest stars, most successful programs, in the nation's top television markets. During his three decade career, he has also worked as an associate producer with "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in Chicago and as producer and field director for "The View" in New York. For the better part of the last 15-years, Winborne has covered the red-carpets events of Hollywood as a field producer/director for entertainment news magazines "Extra", "Access Hollywood" and "E! News."
The series is co-hosted by Kendell Hogan and Janora McDuffie, with correspondents Mark Noble and Lawrencia Dandridge.

Comme des Garcons direct mail flyerCommes des Garcons, 1994. 20 x 14 inches Offset on paper, folded as issued; postmarked with mailing labels verso; usual wear from of light postal handling.
direct mail piece from a marketing campaign Cindy Sherman created for Comme des Garcons in 1994. Rather than the usual objects of desire, envy, or aspiration seen in fashion ads, Sherman created a series of repellant and pitiable caricatures to model Rei Kawakubo's clothing. The resulting photographs are a jarring deconstruction of fashion imagery, and of fashion itself, the usually unspoken con icts and contradictions inherent to the industry. The resulting campaign was more like mail art than advertising, but proved to be brilliant marketing nonetheless and has become the template for a ood of art-fashion collaborations in the years since.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Simbatia from Beware This unit has a twelve (yes 12) inch cord, making it unusable unless you employ an extension cord.. which the manual warns against. Ridiculous design. Most people use their food processor on an island or a counter top without an electrical outlet within 8 inches. You'd need one within eight inches because you must angle the plug.Date published: 2019-07-23Rated 5 out of 5 by CYBERCOOK123 from LOVE IT!!!!!! This was a replacement to a very, very old KitchenAid food processor. I had heard wonderful things about Breville and decided to give it a try. Thus far I have only made pie crust but with he holidays approaching I am sure the machine will get a work-out. Should have gotten the larger one.Date published: 2016-11-17

Did you have a bad encounter with police? Were you hit, punched or kicked? Did an officer use a taser or pepper spray on you without reason? If you want to file an excessive use of force complaint, you're probably already aware you face many challenges, but that shouldn't dissuade you from pursuing justice.
Excessive Use of Force Claims and Accountability
Excessive use of force occurs when an officer uses force that goes beyond what is reasonable considering the situation. Excessive use of force encompasses a lot of different behaviors such as using a chokehold on a suspect or shooting an unarmed suspect. According to the Guardian, over 1,000 Americans were killed by police officers in 2016. Thousands of others are subjected to police brutality, false arrests and sometimes sexual abuse.
If you have an excessive use of force claim you have the following options to hold an officer accountable:
File a criminal complaint
Ask for an Internal Affairs investigation, or
File a civil complaint.
Of the options listed above, a person subjected to excessive force, false arrest or aggressive prosecution will find a civil suit to be more advantageous. The best course of action for police abuse victim is to report an incident to Internal Affairs to be investigated and then set up a consultation with a police brutality lawyer in Nebraska.
Civil Complaints Against the Government
As a condition of their employment, police are immune to civil suits that result from their actions while on duty. The city, state or federal government is responsible for compensating an injured individual.
A police officer accused of excessive force is immune from a civil suit if they were on duty when an incident occurs. That means the appropriate government entity is responsible for paying a victim compensation for their economic and emotional damages.
If you plan on filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim against a city, county, state or federal government employee, you must file your claim within two years of the date of the injury. Your claim must be filed with State Claims Board.
State Claims Board- Nebraska
301 Centennial Mall S # 1,
Lincoln, NE 68508
Hire a Police Brutality Lawyer
When you are seeking compensation for police brutality, you must prove an officer used excessive force. That can be a difficult thing to do and something you need an expert's assistance with if you want any chance of winning your case. USAttorneys.com has an expert team of police brutality lawyers in Nebraska ready to help with your claim. Just click on your county to locate an attorney.
If you were hurt by police or a loved one was killed, you may be able to recover a generous settlement for your pain a distress. Your first consultation is free, and you will learn the possible courses of action you should pursue. Don't put off getting the advice of a professional too long or you could get nothing. Call and arrange your case evaluation without delay.

Not on Exhibit
Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Carcharhinus plumbeus
Animal Type
bony fishes, small sharks, octopuses, shrimps, rays, snails
8 feet (2.5 meters)
dusky, bignose and bull sharks; Family: Carcharhinidae (requiem sharks)
worldwide in subtropical waters
At the Aquarium
Our Open Sea exhibit is vast, spanning more than 90 feet and holding over a million gallons of water. But it still puts large sharks in close proximity to other fish that might just look like lunch. That's one reason we host beautiful sandbar sharks—they play well with others.
"We want to ensure that our sharks fit in with other animals," says Manny Ezcurra, associate curator of elasmobranches. "These are classic large sharks, but they aren't as aggressive as some other species."
The Aquarium's sandbar sharks come from Hawaii and make a surprising journey to the Aquarium—via airplane. Working with the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, aquarists place the sharks in large, sealed, oxygenated containers. From there, the animals take a direct flight from Honolulu to San Francisco, where our staff transports them by truck to the Aquarium. They arrive healthy and rested!
Natural History
The sandbar shark is one of the largest coastal pelagic sharks, and can be eight feet long. True to its name, it's often found in sandy or muddy areas close to land.
Also known as the brown or thickskin shark, the sandbar shark is easily recognized by its large dorsal (top) fin.
Sandbar sharks occasionally venture out to oceanic waters. In some areas, they migrate seasonally in response to changing water temperatures and localized upwelling events, which help provide food. They dine on bony fishes and smaller sharks and rays, as well as invertebrates like cephalopods, shrimp and snails.
As with most shark species, shark finning and overfishing have devastated the sandbar shark population in recent decades. This species is long-lived and produces few young, making them particularly prone to overfishing. Sandbar sharks are ranked as "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Without more regulations, many shark species will become extinct.
Cool Facts
Unlike some sharks, the sandbar shark bears live young. The embryos receive nourishment from a placentalike attachment to the mother's uterine wall. Females have young every two or three years, and gestation is about 12 months.

Busy morning? Running late? Everyone has "one of those days". All week I will be sharing easy bento ideas to help get you one step closer to getting out the door. All bento lunches this week can easily be made in 5-10 minutes. Today's tip - use a sectioned container (bento box) when in a rush. When I am in a hurry I often find myself reaching for this type of container. Today I used my two tier Lock & Lock. Other great sectioned containers I often use are EasyLunchboxes, Lunchbots trio, and PlanetBox. These lunch boxes come with a "blueprint" which makes lunch packing a breeze. Toss food into the sections and you're done.
In this bento box: Baby carrots, jalapeno cilantro hummus and tortilla pin wheels, rocket shaped cheese crackers, cucumber slices, hard boiled egg (sliced), and apple slices.
I am very excited to bring you this mini series of simple bentos. Personally, I am fond of themed bento lunches and I have a tendency to share those bentos first. However, the majority of people are interested in bento lunch ideas that are easily replicated and don't take a ton of time. Trust me, I make plenty of simplistic lunches as well, but most of the time they end up sitting in the "unblogged" folder on my computer. Now is there time to shine. I hope you will find some useful ideas and tips here this week.
Don't forget to check back tomorrow for another quick bento idea!

Region: Nako Village, Kinnaur Distt, Himachal Pradesh
Best time to visit Nako Lake:
The best time to visit Nako is from April to October as its scenic beauty is at its peak. The period when winter is at its peak is best avoided as the roads stays blocked for days after snowfall.
Elevation: 3,662 metres
Altitude: High
Imagine a pastured meadow amidst the gigantic mountains; in between the meadows there are beautiful willows and poplar trees, Buddhist temples a small emerald basin called Nako lake.
Nako Lake is a small secluded reservoir which can charm anyone with its pristine natural beauty and cultural innocence. The spiritual lake is the secret hideaway in the mystical land of the Himalaya. The lake is nestled at an elevation of 3662 m, surrounded by willow and poplar trees. Groves of willow trees surround the lake, making for a fascinating sight.
Nako lake is bounded by 4 Tibetan temples. Close to the temple, there are four caves which are believed to be the meditation site of saint Padmasambhava. These were the caves from where Guru Padmasambhava gave disclosure to his followers.
There is a waterfall nearby the lake which as per legends and locals is regarded as the heavenly abode of fairies. It is also said that, it's not at all easy to find the waterfall as there is no marked trail leading to it. During the month of September, tourist can enjoy boating on the shimmering lake or relish the beauty of the enchanting mountains.
A tour to Nako Lake requires a special permission from the inner line as the place is quite close to Tibet border. If tourist are looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating session on their tour to Himachal then Nako is a must visit site. The natural scenery all around and the view of the eternal snow are picturesque and charming. Explore the strange, exciting lake of Himachal Pradesh, Nako lake.

Am I not the best coworker in the world? Not only do I bring vanilla ice cream and even cookies and cream to work, I bring chocolate too!
It's been awhile since I made chocolate so I let my coworkers know they would be my guinea pigs before I decided to post this recipe or not. And after one day, the ice cream is about gone and their opinions of it was a resounding "yum".
Yes, this recipe is a tad more challenging than my Grandpa's Vanilla Ice Cream, but I promise it is nothing you can't handle. And if you do like me, with a beer in hand and a good audio book on, you may have more fun making it rather than eating it….ok I say might but probably not.
Anyhow, there is probably somewhere around 30 minutes of prep for this recipe and once you have everything cooked and combined, it's best to refrigerate overnight or at least for 8 hours then off to the machine you go.
No doubt I will be using this as a base to many more chocolate creations. I bought some dark chocolate with sea salt and roasted almonds to break up into chunks and use as a mix in. But the sky really is the limit. Have a handful of marshmallows on hand? Add those in too with a little chocolate syrup and you know where I am going with this…
Again, a big shout out to Cuisinart for making such an unbelievable ice cream maker. Highly recommend. My last two machines served me well; however, once you use a machine that doesn't require remembering to buy rock salt or ice at the store, you won't want to go back! Spoiled, I tell you!
Chocolate Ice Cream - Basic
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 4 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Prepare an ice water bath by filling a large bowl (or your sink!) with ice and water.
- Combine cream and milk in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once at a simmer, remove from heat and whisk in cocoa powder until thoroughly incorporated. Add chocolate and whisk until completed smooth, set aside.
- Whisk egg yolks in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add sugar and whisk until mixture is combined and pale yellow.
- Slowly pour approximately 1/4 of the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to be sure the eggs don't scramble. Pour remaining chocolate mix in batches.
- Pour the now chocolate/cream/milk/sugar mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat stirring with a wooden spoon until it thickens enough to coat the spoon (~5 mins).
- Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract. Pour into bowl and place in ice bath for 15 minutes to bring to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, preferably overnight.
- Once thoroughly chilled, add into your machine. It shouldn't take long, since the mixture has been sufficiently chilled. **If you skip the refrigeration step, your ice cream will take longer to finish in the machine and have a less consistent texture. So while not technically required to complete the recipe, it is highly recommended! Trust me I've done it both ways and it really adds to the deliciousness of the recipe.
This recipe was originally based off one I had seen on chow.com, but then revised after I made the first batch.

Derek Kwok and Clement Cheng's Gallants was my pick of 2010's films, it's a wonderful movie, filled with heart, genuine emotion, and great performances, MC Jin aside! I saw it via the Kam and Ronson Hong Kong dvd and waited patiently for a blu ray release which for what ever reason never arrived. Unsurprisingly, when the film eventually made it's dvd debut in the UK, the film wasn't deemed worthy of a blu ray release here either.
So it was up to our German friends in the form of Sunfilm Entertainment to save the day. Sunfilm have released the movie on blu ray retitled as Tiger & Dragon Reloaded. Unfortunately but not surprisingly the disc offers no English options, it features Cantonese and German lossless audio along with forced German subtitles when the Cantonese track is selected.
This is no longer the obstacle it once woud have been thanks to the wonders of technology, thinking back to when I made a custom dvd of The Mission, it was all so complicated and took me days of work to get it right. Now it's an hour or two at the most to get to a position where you can practically do what you want with the video and audio selections and then playback with your choice of subtitles. While technology can be a real pain, it can equally amaze at what you can do with it.
Here are a few screen captures from the ripped file, the subtitles are a little strange (V seems to replace C in the character names for instance.) and I will be looking to tidy those up a little but otherwise I'm really extremely pleased with the results.

Donald Harper, a professor and administrator for 41 years in the U of M's Carlson School of Management, passed away on February 25. Harper was one of the first faculty affiliates in the CTS research program. His work included analyses of Minnesota's energy transportation system, intermodal rail-truck freight transportation facilities, and the impact of just-in-time production and inventory management.
"Don was a great friend of CTS, and, along with Fred Beier, was critical in developing our relationship with the Carlson School, as we worked to increase our multidisciplinary expertise and particularly our ability to address freight issues," says Robert Johns, former CTS director.

Above are some of the chisels Ryan Watson bought while working with Walter S. Arnold on the Chicago Board of Trade building. These tools predate the depression of 1929, most of which have the carvers names punched right into them from over 80 years ago!
With our latest carving complete (see previous blog), Watson's onto the next project. This one will be the signage for the new Timber Pointe building on Queen Street and 3rd Ave in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Watson predicts it will take at least 50 hours of hand carved detail and will stand over 7 feet tall. Stay tuned for progress pics and follow us on facebook and twitter!

220 Years of Improvements
220 Years of Improvements
All hands on deck... one pair holding his brother's ankles?
When Kim Kimble and Tom McEntee looked up one day during the endless renovation of their family's 18th-century relic, they were pleased to see their two grown sons getting ready to shingle the roof. It had been years since the whole-house reno had gotten under way, they were all tired of living in chaos, and word had gone out: Everyone, please help!
Kim, who had done time on the roof herself, nonetheless did a double take when she looked more closely. One of the boys had decided to nail a bracket in place by lowering himself over the ridge—headfirst.
Not to worry, Mom: His brother was holding his feet.
Shown: The homeowners commissioned a dining room mural in the 19th-century itinerant-painter style. It tells the story of the house as it evolved over 220-plus years.

While immigration is often subject to contentious political debate, there is little debate about the economic contributions of immigrant entrepreneurs. Immigrants are twice as likely to become entrepreneurs as native-born Americans. Immigrant entrepreneurs have begun and lead some of the world's most successful and innovative companies. The risk-taking that defines an immigrant's experience in starting anew in a new country often continues to benefit immigrant entrepreneurs as they channel a healthy appetite for risk in a way that leads to new business ideas.
The Kauffman Foundation has long championed immigrant entrepreneurs and their positive impact on the American economy. In addition, the Kauffman Foundation has outlined policies that can help to continue and bolster immigrant entrepreneurship.
In this volume, we have assembled an assorted of Kauffman's work on immigration entrepreneurship. The compilation that follows highlights a range of Kauffman resources that discuss the contributions of immigrant entrepreneurs and the policy ideas that could further those contributions.

Rainbow Cookies
I still am confused whether to group this recipe as a cake or a cookie. Well I guess for me its half cake and half cookie, the goodness of two, all grouped in one!
The cookies are soft in texture just like a cake, but the taste seems to linger around as one of a cookie. Hmmmm the almond flavour keeps you asking for more of them.
It's a fun recipe to try with kids and I enjoyed baking this as holiday bake time with my angel!
I made this for Christmas this last year but I could not post it on time. I have lot of backlog posts that need to be posted now. It is a good bake for any occasion and goes all long the year. I found this recipe on tasteofhome.com
Almond Paste:
9 Tbsp Almond meal
9 Tbsp Confectioners' sugar
¼ tsp Almond Extract
Half of an Egg white
Sift the Almond meal and sugar together through a sieve. In a food processor mix all the ingredients till you get a paste like consistency.
Cookie dough:
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
3-1/2 ounces almond paste, cut into small pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
6 to 8 drops red food colouring
6 to 8 drops green food colouring
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
1. In a large bowl, beat eggs until thick and lemon-coloured. Add almond paste & mix well. Now add the flour, butter, salt and extract and mix well.
2. Divide batter into thirds. Tint one portion red and one portion green & leave remaining portion plain.
Spread one portion into each of three well-greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dishes.
3. Bake at 375° for 7-11 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and edges begins to brown. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
4. Place red layer on waxed paper; spread with 2 tablespoons jam. Top with plain layer and remaining jam. Add green layer; press down gently.
5. For glaze, in a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Spread half over green layer. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until set. Turn over; spread remaining glaze over red layer. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until set.
6. With a sharp knife, trim edges. Cut into 1/4-in. slices.
The actual recipe yields 11 dozen, but I could cut into only 65 slices.
Chocolate Glaze:
1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon shortening
Microwave the chocolate chips on high for a minute by stirring in between so there are no lumps. Add shortening depending on the consistency of the glaze. the glaze has to be in a very smooth runny consistency so that it can be spread easily. If the glaze is still thick add a little more shortening. Prepare the glaze just before using.
Hint: use a little more shortening if the glaze is a little thick

Friday night, I said goodbye to my best friend of years as she departs to Namibia for a year to volunteer in a school! I stole some of her clothes to 'babysit' them for a year. all vintage. I'll post them later. We had a romantic dinner for two followed by drinkypoos in Spoons.
So Saturday night lived up to all its hype.
My little town is not the greatest place to have a good night but we went to two 'clubs' and I had the time of my life. All my friends (pretty much) were out. I henna-ed my friends foot and decided rather than watching rubbish on TV we'd hit the town and paint it red with the rest of our buddies. I'm so glad I did!!!
You can see... copious amounts of alcohol were involved!
