Flatiron Building Model
The Flatiron was designed by Daniel Burnham, a founder of the 'Chicago School' style of architecture. Completed in 1902 the building was constructed using a unique steel skeleton which became the prototype for many skyscrapers that followed. Although it was not initially greeted with public acclaim, it soon became a symbol of New York and is considered the nation's first true skyscraper. The Flatiron has become one of New York's must see tourist attractions - a true city icon. Chisel & Mouse, a duo out of Sussex, England, have handcrafted the building in its entirety, enabling you to view the sculpture from each of its unique angles. It is made of strong plaster that has a reassuring weight and smooth, cool feel. The window frames and door are made of etched brass. See more work from Chisel & Mouse here.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 13 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
Centralized Solutions LLC
We are a software consulting company. We started out writing simple computer applications and have grown to support several companies and dozens of projects. Our clients vary from retail to the entertainment industry. If you visit our website at http://www.CentralizedSolutionsLLC.com you'll notice a simple website that eventually we plan to replace but wanted to start off with the Logo.
Businesses - Our target market is business owners as they are the people who will be approving the contracts. We want to come across as a TECH company that understands software and the industry.
Colors are nice, just don't go crazy. The logo will be primarily used on business cards and at the top of our website.
Simple and elegant is good. Maybe all text, maybe a nice clean graphic, you tell me. It should identify the company though "Centralized Solutions LLC" whereas LLC is Limited Liability Compay. These words can be rearranged however to make it look good. Since the name is already kind of long I would recommend abbreviating "LLC".

We like the font used in our current logo(attachment #9 and #20)
We like the classic and instantly recocnized paw print, somehow incorporated into the logo but are not sure if it would make the logo too busy if we are also adding an animal graphic.
We also like the clean modern look of the line drawn animal in attatchment #10

Climate ChangeStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Monique Pauzé Bloc Repentigny, QC
Mr. Speaker, everyone put their best foot forward at COP23. Everyone was a leader in the fight against climate change. Everyone promised to do more, and Canada even launched an international coalition against coal. Then, everyone went home. The government realized that phasing out coal was the right thing to do, but that is not stopping it from selling coal to the Americans.
Next, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change praised the United States' decision to green-light the Keystone XL pipeline project on the same week there was an 800,000-litre oil spill from a pipeline. There is also the Premier of Alberta who is calling on the federal government for assistance in building more new pipelines. This is the same Premier that the NDP leader says shares many of his values.
The Liberals are sticking with the strategies used by Mr. Harper, who skipped UN meetings to go eat doughnuts at Tim Hortons.
Canada is certainly not finding any solutions to climate change.
Mississauga Poet LaureateStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Omar Alghabra Liberal Mississauga Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, last May, Mississauga got a new poet laureate. Wali Shah, a 22-year-old UTM student, has a remarkable story. He arrived in Canada, with his family, from Pakistan when he was three years old. He had turbulent teen years. When he was 15, he faced assault charges and jail time, but because of his mother and teachers, he turned his life around. Today he is a TEDx speaker and an eloquent voice on mental health issues and anti-bullying.
In 2013, Wali released his first hip hop album, entitled "Rhythm & Poetry". In 2014, he was named one of Canada's top 20 under 20. Today his words inspire, motivate, and help thousands.
I congratulate Wali on his awesome appointment. This is an appropriate time to quote Wali's words back to him: "Seize the day, make it your moment...you're the king of the castle."
Missing PersonsStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jamie Schmale Conservative Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak to a matter of deep concern for the tens of thousands of families who each year experience the most horrific of circumstances, that of finding a loved one missing. Anyone who has experienced the tragic loss of a family member or close friend will tell us that closure is an important part of the healing process, but for so many Canadian families with missing loved ones, this process cannot even begin. Canada has many national days of observance, but we do not have a national missing person's day.
The latest RCMP numbers suggest that approximately 71,000 people went missing in 2015 alone.
At the request of the Boyle sisters, from Scarborough, Ontario, whose brother Jay went missing in 1995, at the age of 17, I was honoured to sponsor a petition calling on the Government of Canada to enact a national day of solidarity and remembrance, a day for action to prevent this tragedy from happening to another family. I urge all Canadians to support the petition for a national missing person's day, which can be found at petitions.ourcommons.ca.
Vimy Ridge OakStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Chris Bittle Liberal St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week I was pleased to join Principal Gretsinger and the students and staff of Oakridge Public School to plant an English oak sapling. However, this was no ordinary oak sapling. As Callie Germain, an Oakridge student, noted, the Battle of Vimy Ridge was a significant moment in our collective history, a defining moment for Canada. One hundred years ago, that battle left Vimy Ridge a barren wasteland. Of the many oaks that once stood tall, only one remained. Lieutenant Leslie Miller, of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, found the acorns from that remaining tree and brought them home to Canada. The sapling we planted in St. Catharines is a direct descendant of that remaining oak.
It was my pleasure to personally donate one of the remaining saplings to Oakridge. Its location holds personal significance for me, as my son Ethan will one day attend Oakridge Public School. My hope is that this tree grows tall and serves as a monument for the students of Oakridge and the residents of St. Catharines to remind them of the tremendous sacrifice given by so many in service to St. Catharines and to Canada.
RohingyaStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair NDP Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, years of persecution, fuelled by anti-Muslim hatred, have exploded into an lslamophobic, government-led pogrom against the Rohingya in Myanmar.
I had occasion to meet with special envoy Bob Rae during the recent Commonwealth parliamentary assizes in neighbouring Bangladesh. His remarks were chilling. The Canadian delegation there played a major role in getting the CPA to take the uncharacteristic step of adopting a strongly worded statement on the Rohingya, one that referred to genocide.
At the end of the Second World War, when the horrifying magnitude of the holocaust was revealed, the whole world swore to never forget, to be vigilant, lest hatred once again give rise to state-sponsored murder on a massive scale.
On the very day when the butcher of the Balkans has been sentenced to life in prison for genocide, Canada must do everything we can to ensure that the butchers of Burma suffer a similar fate.
Sukhi Thind and Doug NickersonStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Randeep Sarai Liberal Surrey Centre, BC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to commemorate two inspiring residents of my riding who recently passed away.
First, I would like to commemorate Sukhi Thind, who passed away unexpectedly on September 8. Sukhi was a political activist for the Prof. Mohan Singh Memorial Foundation. She fought long and hard to bring recognition of the victims of the Komagata Maru incident, including an official apology from the Government of Canada. In doing so, she performed a great service to the South Asian community and to Canadians as a whole.
Surrey Centre also lost Doug Nickerson, the guardian angel of the Surrey strip. Little Doug, as he was known to his friends, protected some of the most vulnerable people in our society by racing around 135A Street, on his bicycle, administering naloxone to those overdosing on opioids. In total, Little Doug saved an incredible 148 lives.
People like Sukhi Thind and Doug Nickerson make Surrey a better place to call home.
CIK TelecomStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bob Saroya Conservative Markham—Unionville, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week I visited a telecommunications firm in Markham. The name of the company is CIK Telecom. CIK stands for "customer is king". It is a small telecommunications provider.
CIK Telecom is the story of the Canadian dream. In 2003, Mr. Deng and Mr. Jin started ClK in their basement. Today it has grown to over 400 employees, and it recently celebrated its 14th anniversary.
Without the efforts of entrepreneurs like Mr. Deng and Mr. Jin, Canada would not be what it is today. I am glad to see that a competitive company, with five-star services and two-star pricing, was able to be successful.
While the finance minister accuses small business owners of being tax cheats, we in the Conservative caucus will continue to stand up for small business owners and the people who work for them. I am proud to have growing businesses in my riding that are creating jobs and prosperity.
Labradorians of DistinctionStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Yvonne Jones Liberal Labrador, NL
Mr. Speaker, I am proud today to rise to pay tribute to the 150 extraordinary Labradorians who were honoured this past week across Labrador. In celebration of Canada 150, I launched the Labradorians of Distinction awards as a way to acknowledge the contributions of Labradorians to their communities. Through an independent process, Labradorians were nominated and selected, and 150 incredible people, both living and deceased, were honoured for their contributions to our culture, history, economy, and environment.
A diverse culture of indigenous peoples and settlers from around the world make up Labrador. When I think of these people who have moulded our great home, I see only the faces of hard-working, resilient, creative, and genuine people. From the people who walked the land in moccasins to those who came in uniform to serve, from those who sailed the Labrador Sea to those who dug the first iron ore, and from those who harpooned their food from the ice to those who opened their first modern facilities, we—

74th Anniversary of Lebanese IndependenceStatements By Members
November 22nd, 2017 / 2:15 p.m.
Eva Nassif Liberal Vimy, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me to rise in recognition of the 74th anniversary of Lebanese independence.
This is the second time I have had the pleasure to rise in this chamber to bring attention to the proud people of Lebanon, who celebrate their independence on November 22. This is a day defined by happiness, autonomy, and the progress of a people whose history goes back thousands of years.
Despite rising tensions, the people are unflinching. Like a phoenix, the Lebanese people have survived decades of political turbulence. Today, November 22, I hope everyone will join me in wishing the people of Lebanon a happy independence day and a swift return to peace and prosperity.

LebanonStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Ziad Aboultaif Conservative Edmonton Manning, AB
Mr. Speaker, today marks the 74th anniversary of the independence of Lebanon. Lebanese people are multi-talented, with many achievements of which they should be proud.
Today, as we celebrate 74 years of independence, my message to all Canadians of Lebanese origin is for them to celebrate their love for Canada as much as they celebrate their love for Lebanon; celebrate their entrepreneurial spirit as their ability to contribute to the diversity that we enjoy in the country, welcoming people to practise their religion and beliefs free of persecution; and celebrate our flourishing democracy, as all countries should be independent of interference from regional involvement.
I invite all members to join the Canada-Lebanon Parliamentary Friendship Group this evening for a celebration of Lebanon independence in the Sir John A. Macdonald Building.
Lebanon's 74th AnniversaryStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Fayçal El-Khoury Liberal Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, today being Lebanon's 74th anniversary, I wish Lebanese people around the world, and especially Lebanese Canadians, a happy national holiday.
The Lebanese community, the largest Arab Canadian community, is making a remarkable and growing contribution to Canadian heritage. The Lebanese, most of whom have chosen the province of Quebec as their home, are not only bilingual, they are also a diverse group, comprising of 18 religious denominations. They are active in politics, science, medicine, music, and the economy.
Through this diversity, the Lebanese community reinforces the fundamental values of the charter of Canada.
I hope that Lebanon will find the best possible ways to maintain peace within its borders.
Once again, I wish all of the Lebanese people and all Lebanese Canadians a happy national holiday.
President of the Republic of KosovoStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Anita Vandenbeld Liberal Ottawa West—Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my honour today to welcome to Canada the President of the Republic of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi.
This week, accompanied by members from the House, the president laid flowers at Canada's Peacekeeping Monument to thank Canada for our contributions to bringing peace to Kosovo during and after the brutal conflict there, and for accepting thousands of refugees from Kosovo 18 years ago. Those former asylum seekers are now leaders in Canada in business, culture, sport, and so many areas.
I had the privilege of living and working in Kosovo 10 years ago as an adviser to its Parliament, and it is impressive to see how far Kosovo has come in developing pluralistic, multi-ethnic, inclusive democratic institutions, including strong gender representation and a modern, professional public service. It is a country with a young; educated population; natural resources; and a progressive, outward-looking attitude.
I look forward to this visit deepening the ties of friendship between our two countries.
ZimbabweStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Conservative Calgary Forest Lawn, AB
Mr. Speaker, for Zimbabwe and Africa, the resignation of Robert Mugabe is excellent news.
Having been born in Africa, I witnessed the winds of change blowing. At independence for the people of Zimbabwe, a new era of hope and prosperity was in the offing, but Mugabe's subsequent abuses of human rights and crimes turned those hopes around quickly into an dictatorial regime, drowning in poverty.
I met with the official opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, when he visited Canada and discussed extensively our shared hopes for a democratic future for Zimbabwe. It has been a long journey but today that hope has returned.
We will support the people of Zimbabwe in the bright future ahead of them. Good luck to Zimbabweans.
Attack in MubiStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Rob Oliphant Liberal Don Valley West, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my deepest condolences to the people of Nigeria following the terrible attack yesterday in the Mubi, Adamawa state.
Nigeria has been facing multiple threats to its peace and security in recent years. As a United Church minister, it is appalling for me that this attack happened in a place of worship where people should feel safe.
As co-chair of the Canada-Africa Parliamentary Association, I know of the important relationship between Canada and Nigeria, but this tragedy should serve to draw us even closer. Today, we stand in solidarity with the people of Nigeria, especially those injured and their loved ones. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims of this heinous crime. An injury to one is an injury to all.
Today, more than ever, we must work together to support a more peaceful future, free of hatred and violence here and around the world.
Abandoned VesselsStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Sheila Malcolmson NDP Nanaimo—Ladysmith, BC
Mr. Speaker, for decades, jurisdictional gaps have left coastal communities with nowhere to turn when they need help cleaning up abandoned vessels. Oil spills and marine debris from thousands of vessels pollute our waterways and put local fishing and tourism jobs at risk. This is the 83rd time I have raised this.
Fifteen years of coastal community solutions are built into our legislation to fix vessel registration, deal with the backlog, support good green jobs and recycling, and end the run around by making the Coast Guard the first responder and resourcing it.
However, on November 9, the Liberals blocked debate on my bill, an unprecedented interference. This week I will appeal so that coastal voices are heard. The government's new legislation and my bill would complement each other and, with the public's help, both could proceed.
I ask Canadians to please ask their MP to vote yes in next week's first-time and historic secret ballot vote to have Bill C-352 be votable, and to hear coastal community voices.
Grey CupStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Michelle Rempel Conservative Calgary Nose Hill, AB
Mr. Speaker, this Sunday, one team will take home the Grey Cup. It is very apparent that the Calgary Stampeders is the team that is on its way up.
The cup is contested between the east and west winners of the CFL, but this year I think it is clear which team is truly the best.
The Stamps know that this weekend they can win it all. Unlike the federal deficit, the Argos are sure to fall.
We have Bo Levi Mitchell, a killer quarterback. There is absolutely no way that his mad skills will lack. Then there is the work of punter Rob Maver who will surely keep the Stampeders on their best behaviour. As well, Coach Dave Dickenson has been called the smartest in the league, even if the Argo's Marc Trestman finds that hard to believe.
On Sunday, we will proudly sing "Ye Men of Calgary". We are looking forward to the match of the century, so giddy up, Argos. We are cheering on our Stamps. With a great big yahoo, they are sure to be Grey Cup champions.
National Housing DayStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Joyce Murray Liberal Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, today we recognize National Housing Day. Safe and affordable housing is central to our lives, our health, and our families. It is essential to vibrant communities and a strong middle class.
Vancouverites from all walks of life face housing challenges. Our most vulnerable citizens sleep on the streets, seniors and single parents cannot afford rising rents, and the next generation is giving up on home ownership or moving away.
When our new government was appointed two years ago, my first priority was to ensure that the ministers and the Prime Minister were well informed and prepared to act on housing access and affordability challenges in Vancouver and beyond.
I am proud to celebrate today's announcement of Canada's first-ever national housing strategy, which comes with historic levels of investment. By listening to local residents, by partnering with housing advocates and all levels of government, we are thinking nationally and acting locally.

Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to creating open spaces for Canadians to debate and express their views. In a free society, we may disagree with someone's views, but we must defend their right to hold them, unless those views promote hate. Intolerance and hate have no place in Canadian society or in our post-secondary institutions. We will continue to fight to ensure that the charter rights of Canadians are upheld and that every Canadian can feel safe and secure in their community.

Mr. Speaker, I do not know why the Prime Minister cannot just simply denounce what happened at the university.
The Prime Minister defends and protects hidden companies in France, shares that go up in accordance with the Liberals' decisions, and a bill that could result in personal gains. The Minister of Finance still controls many numbered companies we know nothing about.
When will the Prime Minister order the Minister of Finance to disclose all the shares he bought, sold, or held in all of these private companies or trust funds since he was elected?

Blonde On The Prairie: Memories of an old-time Easter Bonnet
Raise your hand if you knew my mom Pat (Kranz) Larson. She was born in 1930. That's an important piece of trivia. I think that particular era explains what I'm about to share with you. She escaped her Electric Mobility Scooter and I'm certain was gifted working legs in the sky once she arrived. She's in Heaven now. Most of you only knew my mom from her scooter days after she had her stroke. She called it her Cadillac. She was the woman who would drive around the town with that extremely decorated electric scooter. At Christmas her friend would even accentuate it with flashing, battery operated lights. You could see her from a good half a mile driving herself to the VFW to play BINGO even when it was below zero. The front of the scooter had a large basket that always had some sort of thing-a-ma-jigger attached to it. That mother of mine wasn't a conservative one when it came to how she dressed or scooted. She always gravitated to things with pizzazz and creativity. The stroke didn't take that from her. It did-however-gift her the scooter. Her basket got some of her best designs. Every holiday was paid proper honor on my mom's electric scooter basket. All of that creativity was with only one hand that was useable. She was right handed but lost most of the use of it when she had her stroke. That didn't hold her back. She just trained her left hand to do most things. The resilience of this little woman who had nine living children and lost a few too seems incomprehensible. She had a little face but a big brain. To cover that brain she almost always wore a hat.
Now this hat obsession didn't begin after the stroke. I wasn't paying attention but it wouldn't surprise me if she were wearing a hat when she delivered me at the Jamestown Hospital. So too would it not surprise me if she had the doctor holding a hat to put on me the second my head popped out. Mother found hats appropriate for any and all occasions. She grew up in the era where women dressed like women head to toe. Maybe you did too? What I remember very vividly growing up is my mom making me clothing. She had a Pall Mall cigarette hanging out of her mouth as she fiddled with the bobbin of the sewing machine. She would buy some fabric and sew us matching dresses on the old Singer. The dresses she sewed without using a pattern were never just something one colored or plain. She would use obnoxious trims and bobbles and even feathers across the neckline. I went to school plenty of times with doilies cut and sewn onto my collar with beads glued on. Uffda did that itch my neck! She would make a dress for herself and for me but she wouldn't stop there. No dress was complete without a matching hat, scarf or headband. I preferred the headbands but didn't mind the scarf. The scarves usually hid the bowl haircuts I had by her hand. "It's a pixie cut and it's cute," she'd reassure me. It was cuter under the scarf with lace sewed for flair. As a child I never felt confident in a hat. I was a very self-conscious kid. That hat just made me feel like I looked weirder than my buck teeth already assured me I was.
But "not just any" hat, scarf or headband would do for Easter Sunday. We grew up not rich which made us poor. At Easter a trip to K-mart was in order. I found that odd that she afforded something brand new just to put on my head which was already 8 years old. I had only one single choice as she took the headband and scarf option off the table. I had to pick out a hat, white patent leather-looking shoes and gloves. I hated wearing the hat. I hated wearing the shoes and the gloves seemed senseless to me. The one trait I had then that I still do now is I voiced my opinion. I threw my Jodi fit –at times kicking and screaming but mostly screaming without kicking. I was a screamer then. I had to be in order to be heard over so many siblings.
Now as Easter approaches I fall to my knees in shame. I chose as a child to waste my breath berating that mother of mine over her wish to dress me up at Easter. She suffered and died. I live. I have time to forgive others and myself like I've been forgiven.
Easter is about renewal and hope and resurrection. My hatred of hats that I buried deep inside of me has risen too. Now I love hats. I wear them often and with confidence. I'll be the one in the white hat and white high-heeled shoes this Easter Sunday crying at the hugeness of what forgiveness is really all about. Won't you be forgiven with me? You're worthy! Happy Easter 2012 and thank you for remembering my mom with me. She is really a hard one to forget just like that hat she made me wear on Easter 1974! Uff!

Nottingham Forest boss Sean O'Driscoll believes Simon Cox's positive attitude is the reason behind his shock return to action.
The striker originally faced up to eight weeks on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury against Wolves last month, but could make his comeback at Brighton on Saturday over a month ahead of schedule.
"They say a lot of things are mental and the fact he is so keen to get back is going to help," O'Driscoll told the Nottingham Post. "He desperately wants to get back to fitness.
"Before he came off injured against Wolves, he had been playing really well, which was the biggest disappointment. And he had been playing really well generally, so he does want to get back to that as quickly as possible.
"He is not the type who wants to sit around on the treatment table, if he can help it.
"We had resigned ourselves to not having him until the end of January. So, to suddenly have him in contention for this weekend - even if he does not actually end up being in the squad - is a great boost."

This bug should be addressed, I saw the bug tracker for it on the interwebs for that fork, and its on the old side. Glass themes are not going anywhere and I feel it helps others come over from Windows 7 to wanting to use linux mint as a viable OS. I was kind of annoyed having to find a solution to a problem that should of been addressed as it was noticeable by others here in the forums, I know some of you are developers. Fire up that GNU debugger or whatever debugger you are using for your framebox and lets nail down that bug. I will leave a message tomorrow for that bug on the gnome forums also.

Easily one of the most recognizable names in the game today, Alexander Ovechkin has become the go to player when his team needs a goal or a great play to get his team and crowd pumped up. Starting this season Ovechkin will be using a new stick, the Bauer Vapor APX.
The Bauer Vapor APX OVI Edition will feature the actual curve used by Alexander The Gr8. The Ovechkin curve will be referred to as the P08 curve. The P08 curve is as unique as OVI himself. Ovechkin's curve is a large, open toe curve great for technical puck handling and sniping water bottles.
The Bauer Vapor APX stick is the pinnecle of Bauer's player inspired research and development. Bauer has taken the foundation of the X60 hockey stick and combined it with exceptional puck feel of the TotalOne stick to create a stick that captures the best of both worlds. The difference between the APX and X60 sticks are the use of high-grade TeXtreme carbon fiber, a monocomp design for true one construction and Intelli-sense shot technology for increased stick versatility.
The Bauer Vapor APX OVI stick is available at www.icewarehouse.com

Highlights From Florida — Beyond the Pillsbury Bake-Off
When I wasn't sequestered behind closed doors as a judge of the 45th Pillsbury Bake-Off last week, I did manage to get out and about to discover some other fun things in Orlando. Here are other highlights of that trip:
* Poached farm egg, aleppo pepper hollandaise, California asparagus and pork belly at Luma on Park in Winter Park, Fla.
A perfectly poached egg that oozes a bright orange yolk to make a dish of juicy pork belly even richer. It doesn't get better than that at this sophisticated restaurant with a glam two-story glass wine "jewel box" that displays bottles upon bottles of fine vintages.
* Togarashi spice stir-fried Japanese edamame at Emeril Lagasse's Tchoup Chop in Orlando.
OK, I know what you're thinking: How can one get that excited by edamame these days? It's possible when they are charred and smoky like these and come with a hit of spice that make them downright finger-licking good.
* The duck mascots at the Peabody Orlando resort.
You'll find ducks galore all over the hotel — from duck-shaped soaps in the bathrooms in the rooms to duck-shaped butter on the restaurant tables to duck swizzle sticks with a head on one end and a webbed foot on the other in cocktails.
They take ducks seriously here. There is no duck served on the menus at the restaurants here. And when the Pillsbury Bake-Off was held here last week, no duck could be used in the recipes.
But the best spectacle is the twice-daily Peabody Duck March. At 11 a.m., five real Mallards (one male and four females) leave their palatial "palace" on the hotel rooftop, waddle into an elevator with their official Duckmaster, dressed in a regal red uniform, then descend down to the lobby floor. When the doors open, the ducks march out to the sound of John Philip Sousa, onto a red carpet that leads to the lobby fountain. There, they frolic until the ritual reverses at 5 p.m., and the ducks march out of the fountain, back onto the elevator and up to their rooftop home.
The tradition began in 1932 when the then-general manager of the hotel put some real ducks in the fountain in the Peabody as a joke after having a little too much to drink after a weekend of hunting.
It sounds hokey, but it's quite a memorable sight to behold.
* Seeing Martha Stewart in person.
As a fan of her cookbooks and magazine, I was thrilled to meet the one-and-only Martha Stewart at the Bake-Off and be interviewed by her (even if that part ended up on the cutting room floor. wahhh!)
You can tell the woman is a seasoned media pro. When she saw me about to take a photo, she stepped forward from the throng that surrounded her, turned right toward me, and gave a big smile. Now, that's how you do it, folks.

I know you're out there
i know you're out there was published in the sixth of June of 2006. It was initially a gift for a friend. After a few months, Mae decided to distribute it to the zine world. This zine started Mae's style of only drawing in her zines and no longer cut and paste. Inside the zine, you will find Mae talking about always being the quiet girl in her childhood, discovering riot grrrl for the first time and how it affected her as a Filipina, dissecting love & relationships, traveling to places like Philippines, Thailand and Singapore, and a piece about concerts she's been to and how even in their simplest experience, changed her.
Reviews of i know you're out there
"A perzine in its truest sense. Mae's latest offering to the zine world includes thoughts on her childhood memories, discovering riot grrl, significant relationships, seeing favourite bands play live, a trip to Philippines, Thailand and Singapore as well as a bursting-at-the-seams happy page. I Know You're Out There is also a visual treat due to Mae's awesome (often zombie themed) illustrations throughout." - Marching Stars Distro
"The thing that always strikes me about Mae is how vulnerable and sweet her writing is, which is completely disarming because I feel like she's the sort of person in reali life who is always fairly up and fairly outgoing. Maybe not, but I like how her zines are intimate like notes passed in study hall. A dollar is an outstanding value for such an awesome piece of nostalgia." - Sarah Rose in Zinetopia #2
"Mae wrote that sharing stories about herself is a difficult thing for her to do but I have to say that her style of writing is so smooth and I felt as if she were telling me these stories herself. She also included fun extra inserts of photos, art and text that I enjoyed. Mae writes about finding riot grrrl and the affect it had on her as a Filipina. She writes about love & relationships, happiness and traveling." - Sweet Candy Distro
"In the introduction, Mae says "You`d think it would be easy talking about yourself... For me it`s fucking difficult!" You wouldn`t know it by the second page of her zine ;]Mae shares some of her memories from her childhood, about being known as the quiet girl, & slowly growing up to be more confident & outgoing. She includes a hand-drawn page of the things that make her happy, a little booklet about the boys she has met in her life, and a page about the beginnings of her sexual adventures." - Avocado Tree Distro
"Here be a new zine from Mae, mateys! (Arrr! Tee hee!) This zine takes more creative chances than many zines I've seen recently with interesting page sizes and images, etc. She talks about childhood memories; everything that makes her happy right now; discovering zines, subculture, and Bikini Kill; sex, love, boys, and sadness. She also includes a mini-zine clipped inside about figuring out love. A sweet summer read!" - Sweet Pea Distro

Advocating for ADAP: Florida Legislature Approves $2.5 Million Increase in ADAP Funding
May 11, 2012
As a Southern REACH Grantee of AIDS United, Okaloosa AIDS Support & Informational Services (OASIS) is proud to announce that the Florida Legislature approved a $2.5 million dollar increase in general revenue funds for the Florida AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). Through our Activate! U Advocacy Academy program, OASIS played an active role in mobilizing the community around this legislation.
A little over a year ago Florida led the nation in the number of people living with HIV/AIDS on a waiting list for ADAP, with 4,000 plus people representing over 50% of the US total. To reduce that number, the Florida HIV/AIDS Bureau proposed lowering the eligibility requirement for ADAP from 400% of the Federal Poverty Level to 200%.
The first goal Activate! U tackled was to organize consumers to attend and speak out at four statewide hearings held by the Florida Department of Heath around the proposal. We had trained over 1400 advocates through our grassroots advocacy training and reached out to them all. More than 1100 people attended four regional hearings, one of the largest gatherings ever for a public hearing around an HIV issue. The majority of them were graduates of our training and, for many of them, this was their first time to speak publicly. Their message was heard and the HIV/AIDS Bureau did not recommend changing the income level for ADAP eligibility.
We next joined forces with the Florida HIV/AIDS Advocacy Network (a statewide advocacy network that receives guidance and support from The AIDS Institute) to develop strategies to increase funding for ADAP in Florida. Through emails, letters, social media, and legislative visits we generated support for the Senate budget subcommittee Chair Joe Negron's proposal to increase ADAP funding from general revenue funds dedicated to HIV care by $5 million. We asked our constituents to write thank you letters to Senator Negron and we called on them to ask his counterpart in the House, Representative Matt Hudson, to match the Senate proposal in the House budget. Through the efforts of the advocates, the House, which originally had no increase in their budget, proposed a $2.5 million increase which the Senate accepted and the measure passed. We followed up with a campaign directed toward Governor Rick Scott to not apply a line item veto of the ADAP increase in the budget. This effort proved successful and the increase was approved.
Our next project is to inform consumers on the changes occurring due to Florida Medicaid Reform. There will be public hearings in June that for which we will encourage community participation, and, when Medicaid Managed Care is approved, we will educate consumers on the importance of open enrollment and providing information on the different available plans.

TIGERVILLE, SC- North Greenville University notched its second straight victory as four Lady Crusaders poured in double-figure points in the 75-67 win over Coker College Saturday afternoon in Hayes Gymnasium. Audrey Toscano (Concord, NC) led the Crusaders in scoring with 17 points and seven assists, and together with senior point guard Sarah Giles (Clover, SC), engineered the Crusader offense with an up-tempo style that put North Greenville in good position to score time after time. Giles finished the game with 16 points and six assists.
Coker scored the first basket of the game on a Tara Nelson jump shot. Twelve seconds later, Amanda Milner (York, SC) scored a layup to tie the game. The Crusaders never trailed again. North Greenville got up by as many as 14 points in the first half, but Coker managed to crawl back to make it 36-30 at halftime.
North Greenville went on a tear to open up the second half, building a 20 point lead within the first four and a half minutes. However, the Cobras clawed their way back into the game once again. India Elliot hit a jump shot with 3:06 remaining in the game to pull within six points at 69-63. Debbie Wyatt (Goose Creek, SC) responded with a layup, and then Amber Bramlett (Concord, NC) hit a layup after a missed Cobra three-pointer to extend the lead to ten. North Greenville was able to hold on for the 75-67 victory.
Three Lady Cobras scored in double-figures. Ashley Brooks led all scorers with 20 points, including four three-pointers. Tara Nelson and India Elliot added 15 and 13 points respectively. Milner another double-double scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds for the Crusaders. Bramlett also added ten points.
North Greenville improves to 7-6 on the season, while Coker falls to 2-9. The Lady Crusaders will be back in action Tuesday night as they pay a visit to Allen University.

I have not been posting nor visiting blogs as much as I would like to lately and I do want to apologise to all my blog friends for my absence. I have not forgotten you and I shall return to visit soon :). Work just got in the way and it tires me out.
Wonder what I do for a living? Well, I'm in public relations consulting. A recent 2011 poll report by CareerCast.com indicates that amongst the most stressful jobs, pilots top the list. Not surprising at all considering the number of lives a pilot holds in his hand! Second on the list is none other than public relations executives. In fact, working in the media industry carries the highest work pressure with four of the top 10 most stressful jobs being media-related. Photojournalists were ranked fourth, newscaster fifth and advertising account executive sixth. Now, why didn't they produce this report at career week during my undergrad days??!!. Oh well, I guess with all that stress, that's where spending time in the kitchen helps.
This is a lovely soft and lemony cake with pretty specks of poppy seeds that adds a light crunch to the bite. Have a slice of this cake with a cup of coffee...aaahhhh....it can surely help to release your worries for the day! :)

Another Monster at the end of this Book...Starring Grover and Elmo! is a fantastic interactive children's book for the iPhone and iPad. The story is about a book that Grover and Elmo encounter that is supposed to reveal another monster at its conclusion. Grover is opposed to reading it because books about monsters make him uncomfortable. Elmo, on the other hand, loves monsters and can't wait to get to the end of the book.
As you read the story with Grover and Elmo, Grover does everything in his power to prevent the next page from turning by pinning them down with paperclips, gluing the pages together, building castles, and putting up steal walls. It's the reader's job to help Elmo turn the page by removing Grover's obstacles. As Grover and Elmo engage in dialogue, the words they say appear on the page as they say it which is great for children who are learning to read.
In addition to the story, there is also a Parents Notes section to help you and you child get even more from the story. This section recommends follow-up questions to ask your child, how to add play value to the interactions (like make it a race to see how fast they can remove the paperclips), and discussion about conflict resolution and how to expression emotions. This section really is filled with a lot of good stuff for parents.
The Good
- Interactive and fun
- Funny
- Unexpected ending
- Gorgeous graphics
The Bad
- Kind of short
The bottom line
Another Monster at the End of this Book is a great, engaging book for children and parents. The story is fun, interactive, and silly, and the Parents Notes section has great tips for parents. Oh, and did I mention? Another Monster at the End of this Book looks stunning on the new iPad's Retina display.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Monday, June 27, 2011
This recipe came about due to a mistake. We had company coming for dinner and I wanted to make a simple but elegant dessert. My friend Holly had given us some beautiful jewel-red rhubarb and I knew I had some phyllo pastry in the freezer, so I thought I'd make a rhubarb strudel. I took out the long box of pastry to thaw in the refrigerator that morning and didn't give it another thought. When baking time came, I mixed up the rhubarb filling ingredients (deciding to add a little mouth-watering-ly aromatic orange blossom water and a few almond slivers to it at the last minute) and set them aside and took out the box. And wasn't I surprised when it turned out to be puff pastry, not phyllo pastry (in my defense, the box looked just like the phyllo pastry box). Okay-- just had to go with it at that point. The result is this recipe and very nice it was, too! Many compliments and nothing left!
Printable Recipe
Servings: 6
Orange blossom water is distilled water that contains the essential oils of the orange blossom. It adds a hint of a citrus scent to foods and compliments the flavor of rhubarb and fruit superbly. A little goes a long way.
Note: Red Stalk Rhubarb varieties Include Canada Red, Macdonald, Valentine, Ruby, Crimson Wine and Cherry Red.
Note: Red Stalk Rhubarb varieties Include Canada Red, Macdonald, Valentine, Ruby, Crimson Wine and Cherry Red.
4 cups thin slices of red stalk rhubarb (see Note above)
3/4 to 1 cup granulated light unbleached sugar
1/3 cup lightly-toasted blanched and slivered almonds
2 Tbs quick-cooking (instant or Minute) tapioca
2 tsp orange blossom (or orange flower) water
(if you don't have this, add a couple of teaspoons of grated organic orange zest instead)
1 tsp grated organic lemon zest
1 sheet dairy-free puff pastry dough, such as Pepperidge Farm (thawed out according to package directions)
Place rhubarb in bowl and toss with sugar, almonds, tapioca, orange blossom water, and lemon zest; set aside.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
On a piece of baking parchment, cut to fit a small baking sheet, roll the pastry into a 12 x 12-inch square (more or less). Scrape the rhubarb mixture down the middle of the pastry, leaving about an inch free on each end. Spread the mixture out a bit, but not right to the edge. Bring the sides of the pastry up to overlap the rhubarb muxture a bit; then fold the far edges of each end piece in like a piece of gift wrap, and bring each end up and slightly over the rhubarb, pressing the edges of the ends and sides together a bit so that they don't come apart.
Shift the tart, still on the baking parchment, onto your baking sheet.
Fold another piece of baking parchment to fit over only the rhubarb, not the pastry (this helps cook the rhubarb faster). Bake the tart for about 20 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden. Increase the heat to 400 degrees F. (You don't want to bake it too fast at the beginning, because you don't want the pastry to be done before the rhubarb is cooked.) Bake for about 10 minutes longer, or until the rhubarb is bubbly and tender and the pastry is dark golden. Remove from the oven.
Cool the pan on a rack until time to serve. Cut into 6 pieces and serve with your favorite vanilla non-dairy "ice cream" or whipped topping.

You could just leave it out, or use some grated organic orange zest, Lady RachelLynn. Doesn't have quite the same aroma, but will taste great nonetheless!

Former Google CEO, current Google Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, had this to say about Apple patent infringement suits against Android manufacturers.
"We have seen an explosion of Android devices entering the market and, because of our successes, competitors are responding with lawsuits as they cannot respond through innovations. I'm not too worried about this."
Because a) he's not the one being sued and b) it's nonsense.
Google and Android ODMs problem isn't that Microsoft and Apple are using instead of innovating. It's that they're doing both. And given Google's lack of a similar patent portfolio, and lack of public stance on the issue, their manufacturers are handicapped, which is likely why HTC is already paying Microsoft $5 for every Android phone they ship.
As mentioned yesterday, Microsoft's strategy is to make Android more expensive, Apple's to make it less usable.
Google might have some genius master plan ready and waiting in their other trousers, but in the meantime they should either keep Schmidt and Larry Page off the mic, or let them say something substantive to ODMs and developers.

Lyme disease strikes about 300,000 people each year, according to new information released by federal health officials. The new estimates suggest the disease is 10 times more common than previously thought.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported the new estimates, which were also released Sunday night at the 2013 International Conference on Lyme Borreliosis and Other Tick-Borne Diseases in Boston.
Usually, only 20,000 to 30,000 illnesses are reported each year, making it the most commonly-reported tick-borne illness in the country. For many years, CDC officials have known that many doctors don't report every case and that the true count was probably much higher.
The new figure is the CDC's most comprehensive attempt at a better estimate. The number comes from a survey of seven national laboratories, a national patient survey and a review of insurance information.
"We know that routine surveillance only gives us part of the picture, and that the true number of illnesses is much greater," Dr. Paul Mead, chief of epidemiology and surveillance for CDC's Lyme disease program, said in a press release. "This new preliminary estimate confirms that Lyme disease is a tremendous public health problem in the United States, and clearly highlights the urgent need for prevention."
Mead added to the Associated Press, "It's giving us a fuller picture and it's not a pleasing one."
The disease is named after Lyme, Conn., where the illness was first identified in 1975. It's caused by Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected deer ticks, which can be about the size of a poppy seed.
Symptoms include a fever, headache and fatigue and sometimes a telltale rash that looks like a bull's-eye centered on the tick bite. Most people recover with antibiotics. If left untreated, the infection can cause arthritis and more severe problems.
Ninety-six percent of U.S. Lyme disease case reports have come from 13 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The new study did not find anything to suggest the disease is more geographically widespread, said Mead.
To prevent against Lyme disease and other tickborne diseases like babesiosis, rickettsiosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, the CDC urges people to wear insect repellant, check themselves daily for ticks and shower soon after being outdoors.
If you find a tick, use a fine-tipped tweezers to grasp it as close to the skin's surface as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure as to not twist or jerk the insect so parts don't break off and remain in the skin. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub or soap and water. Stay clear of "folklore remedies," says the CDC, including painting the tick with nail polish or Vaseline, or using fire or heat to detach the tick from skin.
The agency added that efforts are underway to identify new methods to kill these ticks and prevent the disease in people. Community approaches like tasking homeowners to try to kill ticks in their own yards, or local efforts towards disrupting the disease's life-cycle between deer, rodents (which can carry Lyme bacteria), ticks and humans could help reduce risk.
"We know people can prevent tick bites through steps like using repellents and tick checks. Although these measures are effective, they aren't fail-proof and people don't always use them," Dr. Lyle R. Petersen, director of CDC's Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, said in the press release. "We need to move to a broader approach to tick reduction, involving entire communities, to combat this public health problem."

Lukas Adds a Third Candidate; Itsmyluckyday Confirmed for Middle Jewel
BALTIMORE, 05-07-13 – Santa Anita Derby winner Goldencents settled in at Pimlico Race Course Tuesday after arriving in the middle of the night from Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky.
In 2012, trainer Doug O'Neill sent Derby winner I'll Have Another to Baltimore two days after the race, and the colt won the Preakness. Goldencents didn't run well in the Derby Saturday, finishing 17th on the sloppy, sealed track, but O'Neill decided to follow the plan that worked so well last year and shipped the colt to Pimlico early to prepare for the Preakness.
"The horse is doing fantastic," said assistant trainer Jack Sisterson. "He ate up everything last night. We just walked him this morning and his energy level is high. He's bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and we're happy to see that in him."
Goldencents flew from Louisville to New York on Monday afternoon and was sent by van to Baltimore. He arrived at 1:30 a.m.
"That was a little later than expected," Sisterson said. "We got him bedded down straightaway and he got a good night's rest."
The horse walked the shedrow at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
"He was out for about 25 minutes to get familiar with the surroundings," Sisterson said. "His ears were pricked and he was happy."
Goldencents is expected to return to the track for a jog on Thursday, resume galloping on Friday and have a timed workout Monday morning.
Sisterson said the O'Neill operation was comfortable at Pimlico.
"We love it here," he said. "We've got great memories so we don't plan to change that."
Jockey Kevin Krigger is a member of Team O'Neill at Pimlico. The 29-year-old native of St. Croix, has ridden Goldencents in all seven of his starts and will be aboard in the Preakness. He will be the first African-American rider to compete in the Preakness since Wayne Barnett in 1985.
Krigger accepted an invitation to remain with the colt between the first two legs of the Triple Crown. He will exercise Goldencents and other O'Neill-trained runners in Maryland and ride them in the races at Pimlico.
"This horse is our bread and our butter, our best horse," Krigger said. "The day I was leaving to go back to California on Monday, my agent phoned me and said 'Doug would like you to stay and get on the horse.' This is something I've always wanted to do, gallop him every day. It wasn't a hard decision for me to make."
Krigger said he understands that he could lose some business with trainers who regularly give him mounts in California and is willing to make that gamble.
"If we get it done, I don't see where that should be a negative impact," Krigger said. "I'm going to give him my best to get it done. If we get it done, just me staying here and winning it should erase the fact that I stayed."
Krigger has ridden in a number of states during his career and laughed as he recalled how he failed to get an agent when he looking into riding on the Maryland circuit a few years ago.
"I tried coming here when I went to Golden Gate Fields," Krigger said. "I contacted a few agents and they said, 'Nah, don't worry about it." So I didn't."
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas confirmed Tuesday that Titletown Five will be entered for the Preakness, giving him three starters for the second time in his career. Kentucky Derby runners Oxbow (6th) and Will Take Charge (8th) are also scheduled to compete in the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown.
Lukas decided to add Titletown Five to the roster of Preakness candidates after the Tiznow colt worked a half-mile in :47 3/5 Tuesday morning at Churchill Downs. It was the fifth fastest of 35 recorded at the distance. Titletown Five has a record of 1-2-1 from seven starts. In his most recent outing, he was fourth in the Derby Trial (G3).
"We had flirted with the idea of going into the Kentucky Derby and late additions bumped us from that," Lukas said. "He has been doing so well lately and today just highlighted that. It was a brilliant work and a great gallop out. I just thought that it was a good spot maybe to try him. He's an exceptional horse He's very talented with good tactical speed. He'll make some noise there."
Lukas saddled Editor's Note (3rd), Victory Speech (5th) and Prince of Thieves (7th) for the 1996 Preakness. If all three go to the post on May 18, it will extend his Preakness record to 40 competitors, including winners Codex (1980), Tank's Prospect (1985), Tabasco Cat (1994), Timber Country (1995) and Charismatic (1999).
"I feel comfortable starting this horse," he said. "I own a piece of him with Paul Hornung and Willie Davis, the all-pro players. They're excited about him and so am I."
Lukas said he was securing a rider for Titletown Five.
Itsmyluckyday, who finished 15th in the Kentucky Derby, was confirmed Tuesday morning as a likely starter in the Preakness. Trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. expressed confidence that the sloppy track at Churchill Downs was the reason for his Gulfstream Park Derby and Holy Bull (G3) winner's subpar showing.
"For a horse to train that well and run that poorly and come out of the race so well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out," he said.
Itsmyluckyday has shown his connections nothing but positive signals since the Derby.
"Everything's going 100 percent," Plesa said." He went to the track today, and my assistant trainer (Frankie Perez) and exercise rider (Peter Shelton) gave him a 10-plus on a scale from 1-10."
The son of Lawyer Ron jogged two miles at Churchill Downs.
"It's a good thing we went around twice and not once because I might not have gotten him back to the barn, because he was feeling so good," Shelton said.
Itsmyluckyday was scheduled to leave Churchill Downs at 4 p.m. and is expected to arrive at Monmouth Park at approximately 2 a.m. Wednesday. Plesa said his colt would likely arrive at Pimlico on Monday or Tuesday.
Meanwhile at Belmont Park, trainer Shug McGaughey was pleased with what he saw in Kentucky Derby winner Orb Tuesday morning.
"We walked him under tack. Right now we're in good shape," McGaughey said. "He looks the picture, looks bright, happy with himself."
McGaughey said Orb would return to the racetrack Wednesday morning.
The Bob Baffert-trained Govenor Charlie worked six furlongs at Churchill Downs Tuesday morning. Working in company with Fed Biz, Govenor Charlie was clocked in 1:11 2/5 after posting fractions of :12, :23 4/5, :35 2/5 and :58 3/5 under Ricardo Santana Jr. Stakes winner Fed Biz, who was ridden by Rosie Napravnik, was also clocked in 1:11 2/5.
Also at Churchill, Illinois Derby (G3) winner Departing galloped 1 ½ miles Tuesday morning and is scheduled to tune up for the Preakness with a breeze on Saturday or Sunday. Mylute, fifth-place finisher in the Derby, walked the shedrow and could return to the racetrack on Wednesday morning.
Chad Brown-trained Normandy Invasion, the fourth-place Derby finisher, and Rudy Rodriguez-trained Vyjack, who finished 18th in the Derby, remain Preakness possibles.
Street Spice, the fifth-place finisher in the Illinois Derby (G3), is under consideration for a run in the Preakness. Trainer Greg Geier said Tuesday that he will make the decision on whether to try the Preakness after he works the Street Sense colt this weekend.
The Kentucky-bred has a 2-0-1 record in six starts, all at Chicago-area tracks. At odds of 44-1, he finished 5 ½ lengths behind Preakness-bound Departing in the Illinois Derby on April 20 at Hawthorne.
"He had a lot of trouble in the Illinois Derby and got bumped around three or four times," Geier said. "He was about eight-wide all the way around there."
Bellarmine, an allowance winner on the Kentucky Derby undercard, has been withdrawn from Preakness consideration by trainer Ken McPeek.

Rumors swirling around John McCain's Vice-Presidential choice are now focusing mainly on Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported on the buzz surrounding Pawlenty a little while ago. I've thought for a while that Tim is the most likely–and best–choice, but that's not based on any inside knowledge. To an impressive degree, a cone of silence has descended around McCain's decision. People whom you'd expect to know, if anyone does, don't.
So it's still speculation, and I still think it's Tim Pawlenty.
