New pants
Hi guys! I've been looking for pants like these for a while now and I finally bought them. I think these pants are a great alternative to jeans, which are too dark for warm spring days, and when you don't feel like a skirt, this is the way to go :) What do you think? :)

Congratulations to all participants!Longboat Roadrunners would like to extend our sincere congratulations to all runners. Thank you for helping make our race a success. Thanks also to all those who volunteered. You gave us the most precious thing you will ever own – your time and talent. Did you enjoy the Sunset Shuffle?We have another great race on Toronto Island. Come join us for the 2016 Longboat Toronto Island Run on Sunday September 11th. Click here for more info |
Get Out There Magazine's ChoiceWhen Get Out There magazine highlighted four of Canada's most unique races, the Sunset Shuffle was one of their choices. Read More >> Proceeds go to Start2FinishStart2Finish's mission is to break the cycle of child poverty by providing ongoing educational support to Canada's at risk children throughout their school years, nurturing mind, body and social health so they are empowered to succeed and become role models for change. Almost 1 million Canadian children live at or below the poverty line. Statistics indicate that obesity, lack of physical fitness, and low literacy are on the rise, especially among children living in low-income families. These families do not have the economic means to enrol children in community/sports activities or tutoring programs, purchase school supplies, and provide adequate nutrition. The Start2Finish solution to child poverty is innovative and dynamic. Our Fitness and Literacy Model is rooted in volunteerism, children's literacy, health, and education. |

OCWLA started in 1975 with five members. It was originally called the Women and Individual Rights section of the Orange County Bar Association. In 1979, OCWLA became an affiliate organization of the Orange County Bar Association.
Over the past 41 years, OCWLA has been dedicated to advancing women in the legal profession. We support the continued growth and development of OCWLA and its members by providing an exceptional professional network, raising awareness of discrimination and bias, and supporting worthy charitable organizations.
In addition to helping women in the legal community, OCWLA is dedicated to donating money from its fundraising efforts to Orange County women and children in need. After a successful 40th Anniversary fundraising Gala last year, this year the OCWLA was in a position to make a sizable donation to two important local groups: Olive Crest Academy, a non-public, non-profit special education school for children in grades K-12 with behavior challenges, and Casa Theresa, which provides a loving and supportive family home to pregnant women and their babies facing difficult circumstances.
As a membership benefit, the OCWLA has regular MCLE lunch meetings at Andrei's Conscious Cuisine, a non-profit restaurant in Irvine, on the second Friday of every month. Our meetings offer quality Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs at very reasonable prices. We also hold several evening programs throughout the year, including our popular Mardi Gras cocktail mixer in February. We also held our annual Women Judges Reception at Whittier Law School in March to honor our many female federal and state judges.
Our Board has been hard at work planning our Annual Fundraising Gala. We are pleased to announce that this year we will be honoring our 2016 Judge of the Year Hon. Gail Andler. We are pleased to announce that Michele Johnson, of Latham & Watkins is our Attorney of the Year. These awards will be presented at our Annual Gala Dinner on September 22, 2016 at The Pelican Hill. The Gala is our primary fundraising event and sole source of our charitable giving.
OCWLA uses money raised through its fundraising efforts to award $1,000 bar stipends and diversity bar stipends twice annually to law school graduates who are studying for the California Bar Examination. We also provide financial support to organizations such as the Public Law Center and California Women Lawyers, of which OCWLA is an affiliate.
At all of our events, OCWLA collects donations of sample-sized toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste, etc.) as well as gift cards to restaurants and stores that we donate to the Orange County Collaborative Courts. The toiletries are distributed to people in the Homeless Outreach Court and Drug Court programs. We also collect dry pasta donations, which we give to Caterina's Club. Bruno Serato, the owner of the Anaheim White House, uses these donations to make pasta dinners every night for children living in the motels of Anaheim.

I haven't posted in a while. I have been incredibly busy with work and school and family-but that is not the topic of this post. I recently made a tough decision. I have decided to go a different direction in my educational career, a choice that will ultimately change my entire life.
I have always been the creative type – one of my favorite pictures is one of around age 2 taking a photo of my mom in front of our house. It was a little Brownie camera but I loved it. Just recetnly mu husband and I were trying to re-organize our home office and we came upon box after box after freakin'box of photo albums…all mine. Seems that I just couldn't stop taking pictures and even today I am teased for always haveing a camera somewhere on my person.
In addition to photos, I love to read and to write. I have been winning awards for creative writing since elementary school and I don't say that to brag. I simpl have a love of story telling and when I get ideas I have to stop and write, whether on the backs of bev naps, brochures, receipts, etc. I know a lot of people thnkk I'm just a little strange.
What makes things stranger is that I think in "video" when I hear music. For example, when I hear a song, my mind puts together s video in my head, even if I have never seen an actual video on TV (which is often the case since I haven't had cable in nearly 5 years and I refuse to buy one of those new TV's when my nice practically new on plays all my DVDs just as well.
So you may be wondering after all of this, where's this big change?
So here it goes.
As a young girl, the child of two civil engineers, the granddaughter of a high school administrator, marine [spy], and an English professor with a double doctorate in psychology and English, it was naturally expected that I would do well. And in many cases I did. I was accepted into many of the advanced programs offered, went to camp and was an avid Girl Scout for years.
The one thing that I was never encouraged to really try in was science, despite a very early love of dinosaurs and history. For whatever eason, science, ecology, biology, chemistry – all seemed the domain of the young boys and I knew not to question it.
When I finally made it to college I really enjoyed the PR and Journalism program at the Grady School of Communications at UGA. I learned so much and really had the chance to develop my writing anf persuasion skills and felt confident heading out into the world.
I only had four interviews before getting hired, by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division. A job I continue to hold, and one I love….know why? Because it opened my eyes, Everyday I learn more and more – how could I have missed this stuff in school? The subtle yet complex interactions between species, habitats, air and water quality….I was absolutely in shock that these things are not mandatory for all young people going through school. How can we ever expect to "save the planet" if we don't understand the planet inthe first place??
I began to really read and tag along in the field as much as possible. As a public affairs specialist it was up to me to convince people that our programs and projects are important and worthy of funds. I thought to myself, how can I do that if I don't "get it" my self?
Now two years into what I hope will be a long career, I have seen up close a mom and calf North Atlantic right whale (less than 350 left in the world), held a federally threatened bog turtle and the leathery egg of a loggerback sea turtle, as well as learn to measure the wingspn of an American Oystercatcher and help attach a radio transmitter to the back of a marbled godwit. I have stood a few feet away from 40 foot flames while assisting with a nearly 2000 acre prescribed burn. I have photographed bats and marveled at the thinness of their wings, swamped for bog restoration and banded geese at night.
I don't say these things to brag, not at all, but to show that I have seen more of this state in my two years with DNR than in my nearly 27 years of living here. I am astounded that ever school child doesn't learn about the most wonderful thing about our planet in more depth, the natural world.
So here is the change. Although I love grad school and the program I was undertaking – an MA in environmental non-profits, I have decided to switch programs to an MS in Conservation Ecology and Sustainable Development, with a certificate in the non-profit program, one in Environmental Ethics and another in Native Plants. I know the course-load is harder, but I just feel like being an ecologist will finally fill some void…some innate sense to seek out what I do not know. I am an addict…to learning. And I am hoping that by completing this program, I will finally figure out where I belong.
Wish me luck!! (and if you have ever made a huge life change, I'd love to hear about it!!)

The Rocky Spanish Coast
Here is another part of the beach in Ibiza. I guess I could have been off taking photos of topless Euros, but I found the rocks so much more interesting. This is the problem with photographers… whenever we see someone taking a photo of a girl, we are more likely to look at the camera than the girl! :)

Haridwar: the ancient city, aslo known as Gangadwara, Haridwar is regarded as one of the seven holiest places (Sapta Puri) by Hindus. According to the "Samudra manthan", Haridwar along with Ujjain, Nashik and Allahabad is one of four sites where drops of Amrit, the elixir of immortality, accidentally spilled over from the pitcher while being carried by the celestial bird Garuda. This is manifested in the Kumbha Mela being celebrated every 3 years in one of the 4 places, and thus every 12 years in Haridwar. Amidst the Kumbha Mela, millions of pilgrims, devotees, and tourists congregate in Haridwar to perform ritualistic bathing on the banks of the river Ganges to wash away their sins to attain Moksha. Brahma Kund, the spot where the Amrit fell, is located at Har ki Pauri (literally, "footsteps of the Lord") and is considered to be the most sacred ghat of Haridwar.
Famous as the �The City Of Lakes�, Bhopal is the capital city of Madhya Pradesh and is one of the greenest cities in India. Founded in the 11th century A.D., Bhopal is the city of Nawabs, and is an interesting mix of different forms of art, culture and tradition. Even with rapid modernization, the city has managed to treasure its past glory. The most visited places in Bhopal are the Birla Museum, Gohar Mahal at the edge of beautiful Upper lake, Museum of Mankind that has collections that dates back to the prehistoric era and the Archaeological Museum that showcases incredible mix of paintings, sculptures and artifacts of India.

Spoofing of UDDI/ebXML Messages |

Spoofing of UDDI/ebXML Messages |
Attack Pattern ID: 218 (Detailed Attack Pattern Completeness: Stub) | Typical Severity: Medium | Status: Draft |
An attacker spoofs a UDDI, ebXML, or similar message in order to impersonate a service provider in an e-business transaction. UDDI, ebXML, and similar standards are used to identify businesses in e-business transactions. Among other things, they identify a particular participant, WSDL information for SOAP transactions, and supported communication protocols, including security protocols. By spoofing one of these messages an attacker could impersonate a legitimate business in a transaction or could manipulate the protocols used between a client and business. This could result in disclosure of sensitive information, loss of message integrity, or even financial fraud.
The targeted business's UDDI or ebXML information must be served from a location that the attacker can spoof or compromise or the attacker must be able to intercept and modify unsecured UDDI/ebXML messages in transit.
The attacker must be able to force the target user to accept their spoofed UDDI or ebXML message as opposed to the a message associated with a legitimate company. Depending on the follow-on for the attack, the attacker may also need to serve its own web services.
Implementation: Clients should only trust UDDI, ebXML, or similar messages that are verifiably signed by a trusted party.

Question re: fiber-cement soffit material
Hi, I'm a homeowner currently selecting siding product(s) for my house that needs residing. I've chosen CertainTeed WeatherBoard lap siding and foam trim. My question is about what material to chose for soffits.
My contractor "suggested" going with Smart Soffit which is wood composite(?) rather than a fiber cement soffit. His reason is that the weight of cement board used on the soffits will cause the the soffits to sag either by having the nail head pull through the board or even pull the nails out of the rafter tails. Of all the reading I've done on the internet about fiber cement products, I've yet to read about such a problem with using it for soffits. He claims he's learned through experience. I'm troubled with the concept of spending $8-9,000.00 for fiber cement siding and foam trim (all highly moisture resistent), only to finish with soffit material (wood composite) that's susceptible to moisture. Has anyone experienced with these material ever heard of such a thing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike |
Center to center distance of roof rafter or nailing structure?
Thanks, Roof rafters are 2x6 24" O.C. 2x6 subfascia. Mike |
My recomendation and the way we do it is the most common way on new construction homes. 1x3 (1x 2 1/2") Pre-primed Lumber (Or KOMA trim - see below) White Aluminum 1" soffit vent strip 1x3 (1x 2 1/2") Pre-primed Lumber (Or KOMA trim) To fit your desire for a weather resistant material: Look into AZEK Board...or..... KOMA trim products. These are PVC based and look just like real wood. They come in a variety of sizes (1 x 3" up to 1 x 12")They come white, if you leave them that way, they are maintenance free...or you can also paint them. Great looking material. |
Thank-you. What a great solution! I will check the respective websites. Sincerely, Michael |

Industrial Correspondent
British Gas has cut 5,000 jobs this year as part of its previously announced 25,000 losses and is expected to raise its target for redundancies by thousands more.
The company is dogged by increasing competition in the gas supply market and by costly long-term contracts with North Sea producers. These contracts, most of them agreed when British Gas was the sole supplier, mean the company is being forced into buying hundreds of millions of pounds worth of gas which it cannot then sell.
British Gas denied rumours that it is poised to announce 5,000 fresh job cuts, which would bring the total to 30,000. A spokeswoman said that the company, whose interim results will be announced on Thursday, is unable to comment further. Some City analysts expected provisions this year in the region of pounds 100m related to the "gas bubble" dilemma.
According to one observer, British Gas is at present locked into buying pounds 300m to pounds 400m worth of "excess" gas over the next few years. The company's share of the commercial and industrial gas market, where competition is allowed, has been whittled away by rivals.
It is concerned that the public gas supply business,which will be gradually opened to competition from early next year, will suffer a similar fate. The problems have been exacerbated by falling gas prices. British Gas is thought to be buying at about 19p a therm under its long-term deals while gas is available on the spot market for about 9p. The high price paid by British Gas could also accelerate the rate at which it loses market share.
British Gas not been helped by the mild weather in recent months, and by delays with some new gas-fired power stations. Longer term, there are hopes that the export market will open up with the completion of a pipeline to the rest of Europe in 1998. But analysts point out that this coincides with the Government's target date for a complete opening of the UK public gas supply market.
There are attempts to renegotiate some of the long-term contracts with offshore companies, some of which have strongly resisted the move. But some progress may be made if British Gas agrees not to offload contracts to existing or future gas supply subsidiaries. Such a move, which has been considerd by British Gas, would open up producers to considerable risk.
There is a view that the future for the company's supply operations is far from secure and could ultimately fail or be sold. Investors will be watching on Thursday for positive news on the dividend.
In September, British Gas said that it would seek to increase the divident as soon as possible. But some analysts now expect the payout at half time to be flat at 6.4p.

Swansea City dented Rafa Benitez's hopes of a record third Europa League trophy with a superb first-leg display.
Benitez is aiming to become the first manager to lift the cup with three different clubs following his success with Chelsea last season and Valencia in 2004.
But his side, currently third in Serie A, will count themselves lucky to be going into next Thursday's second leg at the San Paolo on even terms after being largely outplayed by the Welsh club.
Benitez's Chelsea were dumped out of the League Cup by Swansea at the Liberty Stadium last season, and with rookie manager Garry Monk now in charge they were as impressive as Michael Laudrup's side had been 13 months ago.
Swansea survived a couple of scares in the opening five minutes when Jose Callejon flashed a shot across goal and Marek Hamsik brought a superb save out of Michel Vorm. But Swansea soon went close themselves on a night they dominated, with 10 shots on target to Napoli's one.
Nathan Dyer thought he had given the home side the lead on six minutes but his chip was clawed out of the top corner by Napoli's Brazilian goalkeeper Rafael.
Wilfried Bony then went close with two long-range drives as Monk's side began to grow in confidence against the Serie A giants.
The best opportunity of the half fell to Bony on 23 minutes after Pablo Hernandez put the striker through on goal with a perfect pass, but he took one touch too many and Rafael was able to race out and block his shot.
Napoli looked dangerous on the counter-attack with former Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain leading the line but it was Swansea who were even more threatening. Jose Canas volleyed a shot just over the bar before Ashley Williams wasted a decent opening by heading over five minutes before half-time.
Napoli were much improved for a brief period after the interval but Higuain blazed a volley high and wide after being picked out at the back post by Hamsik.
Swansea regained control of the contest and almost grabbed the lead on 67 minutes when Williams rose to meet Jonathan de Guzman's free-kick with a header but it was palmed away by substitute goalkeeper Pepe Reina, on loan from Liverpool.
Monk pushed for the win in the final 20 minutes sending on Reina's old Anfield teammate Jonjo Shelvey in an advanced midfield role. Shelvey had an immediate impact by finding Wayne Routledge with a precise pass but the winger's shot was turned around the post by Reina.
Man of the match Dyer.

Faster Web access is coming to Asia, thanks to this NTT Com-backed subsea cable
- 2
Undersea cables are all the rage these days. Google has its Unity project, and the pan-Asia cable backed by Facebook — the Asia Submarine-cable Express (ASE) — is coming, promising to bring 40-gigabit-per-second technology to a number of Asia's key cities.
The project, which is also backed by NTT Communications, will go live August 20 and includes landing points in Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, with Hong Kong slated to join in the first quarter of 2013.
Win a trip to Amsterdam!
We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017!
Now for some figures. NTT says that the ultra-low latency cable will eventually incorporate 100 Gbps optical technology, but it will launch with a total carrying capacity exceeding 15 terabits per second (Tbps).
NTT will open the service to customers on the August 20 launch day. The firm says that, with latency of less than 65 milliseconds, the ASE is more than 3 milliseconds faster than other routes across the continent. That sounds good to us in the TNW Asia newsroom – we like faster internetz.
Importantly, the 7,800 km long cable is designed to cope with the extremes of weather across Asia, with NTT claiming the ASE is able to "withstand earthquake and typhoon damage" as the video below explains.

LONDON – England – After a swift kick in the polls, David Cameron has finally agreed to an In/Out EU referendum in three weeks time.
The announcement was received with cheer across the country, and school children travelled far and wide to Downing Street to leave presents for the PM.
"Well, I've listened to the people and they want their voices heard. We do actually have a democracy in this country, and the people wanted a referendum, they shall have it now. The EU is incompatible with Britain, and even though I acted like a traitor and treasonous weasel before, I want the best for our nation. This is why the proposed EU referendum of 2017, which was never going to happen anyway, will in fact be put forward to June 2014. If you've planned your summer hols, you'd best cancel them. This one's important," Mr Cameron said from 10 Downing Street.
Tory polls went through the roof on the wonderful news, leaving Ukip and Labour behind. The announcement will ensure a guaranteed election win for Cameron.
Street parties will be announced all over Britain next week, and there will be an extended Bank holiday of ten days.

The June 5 #FollowFriday List!
Last week's blog post "WTH is FollowFriday" was very popular because people now have a reason to follow others on Twitter. Therefore, I'm making it a Friday tradition.
If you're not on Twitter, get there and follow these people!
If you are on Twitter, following are my recommendations for today.
@wiskup I met Mark when he spoke to my Vistage group three years ago. He's one of the best communication professionals I know…and really knows how to tell you like it is. Even though I spend all of my days communicating, he still knows how to help make me better. Plus, he has a new book coming out this fall, "Don't Be that Boss," that every manager must read!
@jonesdel Del is the leadership reporter for USA Today. But if that's not enough, he's one of the nicest reporters I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Now PR people, that doesn't mean you should go on and pitch him right now! He knows what is a story and he doesn't want to be bothered by mundane stuff just because I said he's nice. But if you do pitch him, and it is a story, he will get back to you…even if it's not right when you send the email.
@CharPennyAnn Char did some work for us in 2008. Cold calling. Can you imagine a worse job? But she did it with a smile, with enthusiasm, and she introduced us to some great leads! She still does that…from her home office in Seattle, should you need a great cold caller!
@NatSlavin I met Nat almost accidentally at a TweetUp in Chicago a few months ago. Our mutual friend @SarahRobinson told me the day of the TweetUp that he was going to be there and I should look him up. He does marketing for law firms and is one of the smartest marketers I know. He's a must…especially if you're in the legal field.
@AbbieF I met Abbie through Counselors Academy a few years ago and she quickly has become one of my dearest friends. She's a PR pro, a great business leader, and she's just darn funny. Plus her dog @VivaDog is on Twitter, too!
@MelanieGreen Talk about a small world. Melanie is a client of Nat's. She also is one of Abbie's best friends. Needless to say, it was imperative we meet. Melanie is a chief marketing offier for a law firm and she lives in Indianapolis. She makes it Chicago every couple of months so, if you live here, follow her and you'll get to meet her someday!
@Big_Teeth I recently was invited to a BBQ at Gregg's business. He makes videos. Really good ones. And he won Super Bowl tickets (which I'm still trying to steal) in a poker tournament. If you ever need a video made, you must call them!
@SEOCopy Last week I forgot my favorite dual personality in Gabriella and @Level343. Somehow she's managed to not only engage with @luiserpa and me, but also to endear herself to us forever. If you need help with search engine optimization, she's your gal!
@Rieva I met Rieva in San Diego in January and became fast friends. She's one of those women you automatically admire. Her resume is immpecable (think Entrepreneur editor) and she now freelances. Her biggest gig is with AllBusiness.com and she knows what she's doing. She just launched the franchise blog there and is one to watch. Plus, if you ever need writing help, call her!
@Nylons I don't know where to begin with Nancy. She is the funniest person I know in real life. She knows how to take an ordinary situation and make it extraordinary. She is the CEO of Clockwork, a Web firm she started with a couple of musician friends. Now the firm is the best in Minneapolis (maybe in the entire Midwest) and I'm proud to call her a friend, client, and partner.
@RickBakas Rick is one of those guys that has a zillion Twitter followers and when you meet him you think you're going to get the distant "I don't really know who you are" look. But he is a true engager, on Twitter and in real life. He's entered in a contest to be the Murphy-Goode winery blogger/tweeter and you should vote for him here!
@KendallThiessen Kendall is one of the first "relationships" I developed on Twitter. You want to know why? He teased me about my Neil Diamond pick on blip. That endeared him to me immediately. He lives in Denver and I get to see him often, because I'm there so much.
@JazzLifeJunkie Other than wanting to take over Twitter with me (we know how to monetize it!), Kevin is a great wine friend. He sends me links to wines and is even bringing me a bottle when he crashes wine:thirty in a few weeks! Plus, he's worth the follow just to read his blog post on the Twilight series.
@TimNagle I was immediately interested in what Tim had to say on Twitter because he's a Duct Tape professional, which is very intriguing to me. Those guys came out of nowhere and then built a network of pros that teach their methodology. Turns out Tim IS very interesting, but also just an all around nice guy. If you're nice to him, he'll let you see video of his daughter playing basketball, which is to die for cute.
@FoiledCupcakes If for no other reason but that her cupcakes RULE! They are seriously the best I've had…AND she delivers to the greater Chicagoland area. Follow, follow, follow!
@LoisatVistage I somehow have friends with dual personalities because Lois also is @CaliLois. I haven't figured out what the difference is between the two so sometimes I just rotate who I tweet. I met Lois because she's a client, but she quickly became a very good friend. She's a young lady who is going places. Keep an eye on her!
@AmberCadabra I'm almost afraid to tell people that Amber is a friend of mine in real life…even before she was a big deal on Twitter. Why, you ask? Because she's such a celebrity, that people will innundate me asking for an introduction. So follow her. Engage with her. But make sure it's smart, sarcastic, and witty…or she may not respond back. That or she's traveling (I think she's gone something like 25 days a month!) and just hasn't had a chance to connect.
@ElizWeiland Another Denver friend who also loves cupcakes, baking, and wine. She is a friend of Kendall's, which is how we connected in the first place. She's an entrepreneur trying to change the world. See if you can help her!
@Nuk3Dawg Green Team! Roger is the leader of the green team and we win at everything! He's worth the follow…if only because his bio is hilarious!
@WhenGrowthStall I had the immense pleasure of meeting Steve in person earlier this week. He gave the keynote at a conference I attended. He owns an ad agency in Albuquerque, he's written a book ("When Growth Stalls"), and he's a Vistage speaker. He's one of those guys that is super successful, but as down-to-earth as they come!
@KelleyMoore My dancing Dallas friend who I met on Twitter because we're both members of Vistage. She makes me laugh really hard because, like @modishplum, after 15 years of marriage is still undeniably in love with her husband. She is an entrepreneur and business owner – she provides tools for personal and professional success.
@ShirleyBrady I got to know Shirley via the old-fashioned way – EMAIL! She's the BusinessWeek.com content editor and one of the nicest people I know…especially for a New Yorker. This one knows how to make you feel like you're the only person important to her, which is saying a lot considering all of the egos she must deal with on a daily basis. Plus her daughter stories make me laugh really hard!
If you're not on the first two lists, never fear! I'm OCD about keeping track of all of you so you'll make it soon!

Well I am finally on one of your lists. Needless to say I tossed and turned wondering what did I have to do in order to get on your list? So for the last week I thought as long as I am nice and say how wonderful you are would be good enough…lol I see it worked. All kidding aside, you are a wonderful writer, and a great social network Queen. You have introduced me to a few new Twitt peeps to follow… Great way to do this #FollowFriday. Keep in mind anytime you need help with SEO muscle call me… I am sure I can help.
Hi Gini,
I am also one of those that has been a little put off by Follow Friday. I get, and even like, the concept but I've been so bombarded with FF tweets that it is difficult to keep up with them. I try to recommend with a reason, as you've done so well with your #tlist, but have to admit that I stay away from Twitter a little more on Fridays because of the FF traffic.
All that said, thanks for adding me to your list. Pretty impressive company. I will not let you down and look forward to meeting more great people like you and sharing wine, music, and good times with everyone.
Jazzlifejunkie -
What a great read! Great vibrant intros every one!
You are setting the bar very high on the proper way to use social media and in a very genuine way. Very impressive. You can't teach genuine, you either have it or you don't…..and YOU have it.
Great list, again!
"big deal on Twitter"? Is that like being a champion checkers player?? Oy vey.
Seriously, though. What I love about Twitter is that I *can* talk to tons of people, and I really do my best to respond and engage as much as I possibly can. During the three days of the month I'm not traveling. (I kid. That's what my iphone is for). 🙂 Thanks for introducing me to some new folks.
You know you're one of my favorite people on the entire planet. Twitter be damned. I'd much rather sit and share another bottle of wine on your porch.
Thanks for the recommendation and intro to so many other fab people! You're a superstar, Gini!
Thanks for the mention Gini. I agree with Mari..you're a superstar!

Children's Development of Self-Regulation in Speech Production
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2012
Species-specific vocalizations fall into two broad categories: those that emerge during maturation, independent of experience, and those that depend on early life interactions with conspecifics. Human language and the communication systems of a small number of other species, including songbirds, fall into this latter class of vocal learning. Self-monitoring has been assumed to play an important role in the vocal learning of speech [1–3] and studies demonstrate that perception of your own voice is crucial for both the development and lifelong maintenance of vocalizations in humans and songbirds [4–8]. Experimental modifications of auditory feedback can also change vocalizations in both humans and songbirds [9–13]. However, with the exception of large manipulations of timing [14, 15], no study to date has ever directly examined the use of auditory feedback in speech production under the age of 4. Here we use a real-time formant perturbation task [16] to compare the response of toddlers, children, and adults to altered feedback. Children and adults reacted to this manipulation by changing their vowels in a direction opposite to the perturbation. Surprisingly, toddlers' speech didn't change in response to altered feedback, suggesting that long-held assumptions regarding the role of self-perception in articulatory development need to be reconsidered.

Rendezvous in space
Astronauts from the space shuttle Endeavour are visiting the crew of the International Space Station (ISS).
The hatch has been opened to allow the two crews to spend some time together before the shuttle heads back to Earth. Endeavour crew commander Brent Jett and his four colleagues entered the Unity module of the ISS and exchanged handshakes and smiles with the Expedition One crew. Brent Jett said: "Endeavour arriving!" and entered the module, after requesting permission to open the hatch. The meeting took place 383 kilometres (238 miles) above the Pacific Ocean, near Cape Horn, South America.
US astronaut William Shepherd and Russians Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalov have been in space for 36 days of their expected four month stay aboard the ISS. Although the shuttle has been docked at the space complex since Saturday, the hatches have been sealed for safety reasons while work took place outside. 'Magnificent' The Endeavour crew finished installing the space platform's new solar wings on Thursday. Two astronauts carried out a tricky repair to the right solar wing in their third and final spacewalk. Using just a hook and their gloved hands, Joe Tanner and Carlos Noriega tightened two slack cables.
"The whole crew was magnificent," said Nasa administrator Daniel Goldin in a congratulatory call to Endeavour's five astronauts. Destiny The two spacewalkers also installed a camera cable and a static-electricity monitor to the outside of the ISS. The monitor will be used to gain a better understanding of how to protect spacewalking astronauts from electric shocks.
The space complex now has enough power to light all the modules, including the space laboratory Destiny which will be added in January. While work was going on outside the ISS, the platform's Expedition 1 crew had tasks of their own. Commander Bill Shepherd and cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev had to deal with a malfunctioning air conditioner and a broken carbon dioxide removal unit. |

Real Life
So, as you've probably gathered from lack of recent posts, things around here have been busy. Good, but busy.
Last week I took some pictures of my studio so you could see how organized and uncluttered my life is. (hopefully you are hearing the sarcasm)
Pretty much my studio was imploding on me and I couldn't breathe. I had ordered a pallet-load of art supplies that came on a semi-truck and I needed to put them somewhere. Thankfully, I have a husband who thrives on organizing, so he created some more spaces for me to store my things and today it looks much better.
How lucky am I that I get to order art supplies for my job?? I'm still pinching myself.
Spring has arrived and things are looking so beautiful outside. My roses are on the verge of blooming and this makes me a little bit giddy. I gathered flowers to create some bouquets for a Spring banquet I helped with for our church ladies.
I pretty much just emptied my house and used my decor to decorate the banquet. Super-easy and pretty. Here's what I used to decorate the tables:
:: brown kraft paper as a tablecloth
:: paper doilies
:: old blue mason jars filled with freshly picked flowers from my yard
:: random old things to create variety like an old scale and old books
And, of course, my world revolves around signs right now, so I had to show you my latest creation. Isn't the color just perfect? Siiigh. Totally wanted to keep this one.

I love your work:) I am also a painter and mommy...I'm just starting my business out I hope to someday have a cluttered studio like you;) where do you order your canvas from??
ReplyDelete- Cheryl :)May 7, 2013 at 12:30 PM
LOVE the sign! The color is stunning! Are you going to make more of these?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMay 9, 2013 at 7:20 AM
So you always carbon -trace your lettering? Then use paint pens? Looks awesome. I just started making signs but am using vinyl and wood or canvas. I'm not really an artist so painting letters I don't think would be successful. I do use reserve weed method a lot so there's no vinyl on the sign when I'm done. Just curious your steps....

text: There Appears To Be A Female Assassin In The Newest AC: Unity Video [Update: Alt Theory: She's A Templar?]Stephen Totilo7/21/14 8:40pmFiled to: assassins creedassassins creed unityplaystationxboxps4xbox onekotaku corepc2115EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkWe can't tell who she is, and it's unlikely that she's playable. But it nevertheless looks like Assassin's Creed: Unity, like earlier games in the series, will have female assassins. No comment from Ubisoft. AdvertisementThe lady appears briefly at around the 7:24 mark of a new making-of video posted today by gaming site IGN.Unity, which takes place in Revolutionary France, was criticized by some journalists and fans during E3 for not including the option to play as female assassins despite the inclusion of customization options and co-op play. One of the criticisms was that, simply, the most famous assassin from the real French Revolution was a woman, so an absence of female assassins would be weird. Ubisoft promised to show female characters prior to the game's October release. This must be our first glimpse. AdvertisementUpdate: As some readers have noted, the cross on the character's collar could indicate that she's a Templar, the order that opposes the Assassins. The IGN video concludes with a tease for a story-centric video that will detail the heavy involvement of the Assassins and the Templars in Unity's version of the French Revolution.Update 2: Ubisoft confirms that she is indeed a Templar. Her name is Elise. Reply211 repliesLeave a reply

I never followed Seinfeld, but I found these minimalist "Seinfood" posters by Rinee Shah to be pretty clever (you know me, anything with food). The series of prints is available for purchase at Pot + Pantry (and right here) until March 10th. (Discovered on Dwell)
Oh wow!
Last year I blogged about Howkapow, the colorful online shop of husband-and-wife team, Cat and Rog How, showcasing the designs of independent artists. Boy have I got some catching up to do. Here are some recent faves. I especially love these shadow coasters! See all their products here.
This dog has the patience of a saint
...and the balance of an Olympic gymnast. I'm talking about Maddie the Coonhound (a photography series by Theron Humphrey), and she's touring the states and standing on things like nobody's business. Buy prints of Maddie standing on things here. Happy Monday!
Pink Friday
I realize it's no longer Valentine's Day, but it's never too late to make these heart milk cubes from A Subtle Revelry. The ice tray was from IKEA! Have a lovely weekend!
This photography series by Hana Pesut was a happy little discovery today (don't you just love those?). That Aztec print is just about everywhere these days, and a little color never hurt either.
Wonder Wed
I happened upon this gorgeous wedding menu yesterday on Pinterest, and just had to find the rest. Enter Wonder Wed, the wedding set branch of Studio Wonder by Vancouver-based designer, Ashley Peters. Here are some of my favorites:
Coming and going
I just fell for these beautiful paintings by Jose Manuel Hortelano. Plenty more gorgeous works (including a little manscaping action?!) here.
I've been unconsciously and slowly cutting down on coffee. One day I realized I don't drink it nearly as much as I used to, and I hadn't really planned on that happening. See, a couple years ago I gave up coffee for Lent. It turned me into a raging bitch within the first two days. I couldn't even taste my food. But after that first week, I had powered through, and the rest of that 40 day stint went pretty well. The effects of this most recent gradual descent into coffee-lessness have yielded different results. What was once a daily routine has been reduced to a one day treat. Yes, I said it. One. Day. Unheard of. But I've just been so sluggish lately, I'm beginning to think it's not worth it to cut down this much. And what's more, I've noticed that I've been replacing coffee with sugar –– specifically soda. Not a good thing. All that sugar isn't helping at all with the sluggishness, by the way. I feel like I could nap all day. So what am I getting at with all this? Now that I've pin-pointed the source of my newly-adopted sloth-like behavior, the coffee self-deprivation is over. I just want my coffee back. Have a good, coffee-filled day. (image: Instagram)
Luminous Whatnots
I happened upon these lighters from Etsy store, Luminous Whatnots a while back and was intrigued by their vintage charm. Unfortunately the ones below are no longer available, but the ones above and a whole bunch of others still are. So if you're looking for a unique gift for someone, or if vintage lighters and knick knacks are your thing, then give 'em a visit.
Pink Friday
Two furniture-related Pink Friday's in a row. Wha-what?! Alright, I'll calm down, I promise. But this is pretty cool stuff. This table by designer, Jo Nagasaka, is called "flat table peeled". It's a contemporary interpretation of the Japanese hassoku dai, a low 8-legged table. The unevenness of the plank top is smoothed with a neon epoxy. Seriously good stuff that I've had stored in my favorites forever. Glad I've unearthed it today. Have a fab weekend! (More images at the source.)

Two Too Pretty

Pink Friday
Lucas Maassen & Sons. A collaboration project by Dutch industrial designer, Lucas Maassen and his three sons, Thijme, Jullian, and Maris (ages nine, seven, and seven, respectively). The kids are paid one euro for every piece of furniture painted, but due to Dutch child labor laws are only allowed to work three hours per week. The shortened time table only contributes to their charm. More images and a video here. (via Miss Moss)
From above
Well that's one way to use Google's satellite view. Satellite Collections, a series of collages by Jamie Odell, has me squinting and staring for all the right reasons. Collages of what, you might ask? Everything from basketball courts and nuclear cooling towers, to water slides and empty parking lots -- all from above. And while you're checking out Jamie's work, be sure to catch the All the People on Google Earth series. I'll just let you guess what that involves.
Shelter Dogs
It's no secret that I'm a dog lover, so these moving portraits of American shelter dogs by photographer Traer Scott really hit the spot. These shots are just a few in the series, Shelter Dogs, a book available at the ASPCA website, of which all proceeds go to the non-profit. I'll admit, I did get a little choked up reading this article and this interview with the photographer. Especially when it was mentioned that not every dog photographed was adopted; some were eventually euthanized. These portraits serve as a tribute to the dignity and courage these dogs show in the face of their often short, troubled lives.
Stone Fox Bride
Brides, want the wow on your big day without the fuss of an overpowering dress you'll never be able to wear again? Newly opened Manhattan bridal showroom, Stone Fox Bride, might be the way to go. The sunny store boasts a range of bridal services (shamans and sex therapists and Pilates, oh my!) in addition to their beautiful bride-and-bridesmaid-friendly dresses by designers Mandy Coon, Electric Feathers, Daryl K, Wren, and more.
And of course, this being a design blog and all, the wispy, eclectic decor of the shop didn't escape my notice. I can't imagine an experience in this store, open to the public today, to be anything but visually satisfying. (via NY Times)
I mean...
It's typography and chocolate. Typography. And. Chocolate.
Dynamo teamed up with Suite 88 to make these chocolate bars to give as corporate gifts. Pretty much the only way this could get better would be if...oh, wait. No it can't!....
..........Except, holy shit, it does! Because now you can buy these bars, and download the original artwork they were based on as a wallpaper for your iPhone, iPad, or desktop! Mondays aren't so bad, huh?

Invisalign treats the vast majority of common problems for adults and teens.
Whether your smile needs minor improvements or something more extreme, Invisalign can help. Invisalign is successful at treating crowding or excess spacing of teeth. It can also be used to treat more complex cases such as overbites, underbites, and even crossbites. In fact, an experienced Invisalign-certified doctor can use Invisalign for all or part of almost any treatment plan. Click here to see before and after pictures of how real smiles have been improved with Invisalign.
Made to fit your lifestyle, not change it.
Because Invisalign uses comfortable plastic aligners to move teeth, you can continue enjoying your active lifestyle even during treatment. There is no metal or wires to irritate your lips or cheeks. You can still play sports or just enjoy a game of catch in the backyard without worrying about injuring your mouth. And since Invisalign is removable, you can always take it out for that special event or when you get that midnight caramel apple craving.
Look your best during and after treatment.
Is maintaining your professional appearance important to you? Are you ever asked to speak during a meeting in the public? Because Invisalign is nearly invisible, most people won't know you are straightening your teeth unless you tell them. After completing your treatment you'll also enjoy the added assurance of being able to express yourself with confidence—without being embarrassed or insecure about your teeth.
An Experienced Invisalign Doctor can help.
The best way to find out how Invisalign can work for you is to visit Dr. Banks and Dr. Howard. They can evaluate your specific needs and help determine the best treatment plan.

A common inflammatory skin condition characterized by frequent episodes of redness, itching, and thick, dry, silvery scales (mine is more of a yellow crust) on the skin. It also can cause joint pain. It hits about 8 out of every 10000, appears to be genetic and occurs more in Caucasians (white folk). It fucking sucks. It normally hits between the ages of 15 and 35 and seems to be progressive. If it gets really bad, like if your whole body is covered, you have to go to the hospital. The body loses vast quantities of fluid and is susceptible to severe secondary infections that can become systemic, involving internal organs, and can progress to septic shock and death. Treatment includes analgesics, sedation, intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
This is not what happens to most people. Most people just use tar shampoo and the occasional topical cortisone or other corticosteroid flavoured treatment. Another terrible thing is that it can greatly increase your chances of skin cancer and cortisone is linked to a few cancers itself. This condition is all over the map person to person when it comes to symptoms. I've had it since I was 15 and have seen it maybe twice other then on my scalp, until I was 25, when it appeared in my ears and on my torso.
There are a huge range of wives tales and supposed remedies, most of which I have tried, but there is no cure to date. Some of the treatments I have tried:
One thing that I have found causes flare-ups more than anything is stress. I have tried to go without stress in my day, but this has the unfortunate side effect of - oh, I just don't give a fuck.
Another contributor is alcohol, which also makes it quite bad for the next week.
I have tried no treatments at all - and this just made it worse. One time I decided to obliterate it entirely, and used this ointment that the doctor gave me. It is like Vaseline, so you can imagine what that is like to apply to a hairy head. Anyway I smothered any spot on my body with this gunk every couple of hours for 3 days. The bloody spots appeared all over my face - just in time for my birthday! I gave up, and let it do its thing.
Today, I just keep it in check. If it gets too bad, and dries out and starts cracking, I put on some of my magic ointment, but really just let it devour my body slowly.
Being a condition which is only ever treated, rather than cured, psoriasis is particularly prone to natural, alternative and complementary remedies.
In terms of herbal remedies, there is an emphasis on 'blood-cleaning' herbs. In practice, this means herbs that are supposed to improve the function of the kidneys and liver. I'm not sure why this should be, but there according to Chinese herbal theory, psoriasis is due to excess 'Heat' in the blood. The Readers Digest Guide to Alternative Medicine recommends infusions of dandelion root, burdock and red clover. According to Mrs. Maud Grieve (in 'A Modern Herbal', burdock purifies the blood, while dandelion root improves the action of the liver and kidneys. Red clover is more commonly used for cancerous growths; presumably, because psoriasis and tumours are caused by the same mechanism (cells multiplying way too fast), the same remedy would help both. Jaques Veissid, in 'Folk Remedies', recommends drinking a stinging nettle decotion (no, it won't sting you) four times daily and applying it to the affected areas morning and night. According to Mrs. Grieve, stinging nettles are good for the kidneys and are an all-round Good Thing. Veissid also suggests drinking a walnut leaf infusion four times daily (NOT a good idea if you suffer from a nut allergy), while Mrs. Grieve talks about walnut leaf's "curative effect on eczema and other skin diseases".
As far as hydrotherapy goes, Readers Digest Natural Remedies (from their Health and healing the natural way series) and Veissid both agree that bathing in salt water can be useful. I remember reading somewhere that the Dead Sea water (which contains stupid amounts of salt) can help skin problems, so this makes sense. Besides anything else, salt is an antiseptic, so it won't do any damage.
Bach flower remedies focus on emotional problems, and so do not offer a practical way to get rid of the condition. However, the Readers Digest Guide to Alternative Medicine recommends crab apple for disgust or shame and willow for resentment of the condition. It also claims that impatiens or rescue remedy, applied externally, will relieve itching.
Aromatherapy suggests using bergamot or lavender in the bath or as a lotion. A white lotion base is recommended if the psoriasis is not too dry or flaky, but if it is very scaly, a vegetable oil may be better, and sandalwood essential oil may be used.
In general, sunlight and Ultraviolet light are widely considered beneficial (but use sunscreen: pointless getting rid of your psoriasis if you end up with skin cancer). Excessive alcohol should also be avoided; one study showed that young men who drank to excess were more likely to get skin problems. Veissid also recommends an ointment made from soot and lard, but the sheer disgustingness of that suggestion makes me think it might be better to learn to love your scaly bits.
Pso*ri"a*sis (?), n. [NL., fr. Gr. , fr. psora.] Med. (a)
The state of being affected with psora.
A cutaneous disease, characterized by imbricated silvery scales, affecting only the superficial layers of the skin.

Not many people know this, but Peter Crouch did not leave QPR in 2001 because Portsmouth were the better team. He was worried about the stripes on the kit, you see: because they were horizontal, he was afraid that they made him look short.
If only Mr Crouch had waited for the latest research from York University, which shows this advice to be no more than a foolish myth. Last week, a psychologist showed that vertical stripes are not in fact slimming, and loops do not cause the wearer to look fat. The opposite is true. This explains why Crouch always seemed so stumpy when he played for Southampton.
Unfortunately for the style conscious and Peter Crouch, science proves fashion to be unnaturally tricksy when it comes to optical illusions and the art of concealment. For instance, Trinny and Susannah would have you believe that head-to-toe polyester knickers and an extravagant belt will give the appearance of being thin, slinky and therefore devilishly attractive to the opposite sex. The most cursory level of scientific research, such as wearing polyester knickers and trying to pull, will prove this not to be the case.
It is not just footballers and fashionistas who fall for these misleading rules, however. Among bankers, lawyers and the alumni of several minor public schools, a legend has built up that a pair of colourful socks can be an adequate replacement for a personality. This is not true. In addition, it was lately discovered that some members of the American political underclass hold far-fetched notions about the intellectualising effect of a pair of frameless spectacles. A style journal found to be circulating in Alaska made rash promises that such specs lend the kind of gravitas necessary to make an ordinary religiofascist hockey mom into a feasible deputy leader of the free world. Science shows this not to be so. However, science also shows that the world was not built in seven days, but that does not seem to have sunk in yet either.
In Britain, political leaders have also put too much credence in crude optical effects and colour therapy. No, Gordon Brown: standing next to a former leader of a different political hue does not make you appear bigger, cooler or more appealing to the general public, no matter how many times you do it or which prime ministerial residence you do it in. Likewise, Ed Balls: going on the telly in a pinny won't make people trust you.
Other photos taken of people in the public eye last week proved the following: being Queen does not make you suit hats, but it does mean no one will ever tell you; a bandeau top and no bra is never a good look for a waifish movie star who really wants to prove that she eats; the best thing for Heather Mills to wear would be a hair shirt; Kelly Brook can dress any way she chooses and still make the bloke next to her look like a jammy little git.
The fashion world, meanwhile, stands by for new announcements. Such as wearing stripes make you appear handsome; wearing black and white together makes you become rich; and that Peter Crouch has signed for Newcastle United.

How to derive priorities in AHP: a comparative study
A heated discussion has arisen over the "best" priorities derivation method. Using a Monte Carlo simulation this article compares and evaluates the solutions of four AHP ratio scaling methods: the right eigenvalue method, the left eigenvalue method, the geometric mean and the mean of normalized values. Matrices with different dimensions and degree of impurities are randomly constructed. We observe a high level of agreement between the different scaling techniques. The number of ranking contradictions increases with the dimension of the matrix and the inconsistencies. However, these contradictions affect only close priorities. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2006

- //Sara Gruen
RALEIGH, N.C.—Oprah Winfrey has been Algonquin Books' champion since she hoisted Robert Morgan's "Gap Creek" quickly into the New York Times best-seller list in 2000.
But last week, a circus elephant and her keeper performed an even more impressive feat, lifting the Chapel Hill-based publisher to the top of the list for the first time.
Sara Gruen's "Water for Elephants," a novel about an elephant keeper in a Depression-era circus, reached No. 1 on the list of paperback fiction titles in Sunday's New York Times Book Review. It knocked out best-selling author Dean Koontz's "The Husband," which was No. 1 for three weeks.
Until now, No. 4 was the highest Algonquin had ever risen on the Times charts. "Gap Creek" and David and Daniel Hays' "My Old Man and the Sea" both reached that mark.
"I am so impressed," said Algonquin executive editor Chuck Adams, who came to the publisher three years ago from Simon & Schuster, where he edited heavy-hitters like Jackie Collins and Mary Higgins Clark.
Adams acquired "Elephants" after it was rejected by HarperCollins, which published Gruen's first two novels.
"I didn't immediately say, `Oh, best-seller,'" Adams said of "Elephants." "But at the same time, I completely understand why it has become a best-seller." With a man as the main character, a love triangle, evocative descriptions of circus life and the Depression, and animals portrayed with more depth than many novels' human characters, the book has broad appeal.
The hardcover edition spent 17 weeks on the best-seller list, and Sunday marked its seventh week on the paperback chart.
Algonquin, founded in 1982, was acquired by Workman Publishing in 1989. It publishes 30 to 40 books a year—all in hardback until this year. "Elephants" was one of the first books from Algonquin Paperbacks.
From the hardback sales to the latest printing, about 906,000 copies of "Elephants" are in print. Foreign rights have been sold in 25 countries, said Ina Stern, assistant publisher at Algonquin.
Stern said book clubs are fueling much of the recent demand.
With the book's success come two moves for the 38-year-old Gruen. One is from the Chicago area to Asheville, N.C. The other is a direct result of the "Elephants" sale: She's leaving Algonquin for Julie Grau and Cindy Spiegel's new publishing division at Doubleday. They paid her $5.1 million for her next two books.
Algonquin is sad to lose Gruen, Stern said. But "Water for Elephants" has proved that might doesn't always come from money.
"It is true that you can sell books the old-fashioned way, book by book, bookseller by bookeseller, and turn it into a best-seller," Stern said.
