As the Area Manager of Campbellfield and surrounding districts I was given the opportunity to speak to a prudent business in the Commercial Fencing and Industrial renovations arena to see if their needs were Legal Binding Terms and Conditions of Trade and using the Australian Governments Personal Property Securities Act legislation to protect their assets while having a firm business grip over their debtors to become "secured creditors†at the same time. The legislation makes it mandatory to have Terms of Trade in place, before the PPSR is introduced to their client/s.
The normal cautionary suggestion of wanting to ask his Solicitor for his legal advice come into our discussion.
After asking …â€Why hasn't your Solicitor advised you of these VERY necessary precaution's before this time†came up?
He was perplexed by this obvious question …but nevertheless he did enquire and was very disappointed to realise that not only was his legal advisor NOT up to date with this recently introduced law, but he also didn't know how to register his clients' interests properly and didn't provide this service.
After asking the price required for Terms of Trade documentation (not inclusive of the PPSR) from his legal advisor, the quoted price was far more expensive than EC Credit Control, and didn't include the completed paper work … any relevant specialised documents, follow up, backup nor the "back office†support that EC Credit Control offer.
EC Credit Control, has staff that specifically "specialise†in Terms of Trade, and we offer a dedicated team to not only implement the PPSR registrations but we offer other services "his†Solicitor can't and doesn't offer …consequently we now have a happy, satisfied client that can see the difference between "being on callâ€, as opposed to asking for a service …where every minute is scrutinised and chargeable, not to mention the time taken to visit, find parking and having to adjust his own schedule to suit his Solicitors time line/s …whereas while I am an Area Manager, I will call on my client at their convenience and time, at their work place and comfort zone. Also as a client of EC Credit Control you have the availability to seek free legal advice from our corporate partners, situated in Melbourne's CBD, however these professionals will visit you at your place of business, after initial telephone discussion/s.

Although more than fifty years have passed away since the commencement of the War between the States 1861-65, yet I remember some of the incidents which came under my observation.
After Harpers Ferry was captured by the Southern Troops on the night of April 18th, 1861, we were given quarters in the Government Armory Building which had been saved from the fire and flames.
The news of the secession of the State of Virginia came to this town, Charles Town, Virginia, now West Virginia, on the afternoon of the 18th of April, 1861, and the State Troops were ordered to take possession of Harpers Ferry at once. The Botts Grays afterwards Company G, in the 2nd Virginia Infantry Regiment, and the Jefferson Guards, afterwards Company A in the same Regiment, fell in, in front of the Court House, in this town, Charles Town, about the middle of the afternoon and took up the line of march on the Charles Town and Harpers Ferry Turnpike towards Halltown, at Halltown they were joined by the Shepherdstown Company, afterwards Company B in the 2nd Virginia Infantry. When we ascended the hill leading into Bolivar, information was brought to Col. Allen, colonel of our command, that two armed men had stopped the head of the column on the brow of th[e] hill. Col. Allen ordered us to front and to load with ball cartridges. It was soon ascertained that they were nothing but videttes to observe the approach of any force.
Lieutenant Jones, who had command of a small body of Federal Infantry fired the Goevernment [sic] Armory and withdrew his force to the Eastern side of the Potomac River in Maryland. Before leaving he had fired the Govermnent [sic] Armory and we proceeded unmolested down through Bolivar, the flames from the Armory building lighting up the Heavens, it being dark when we reached the hill approaching Bolivar.
I remember when the command was ordered to load with ball and cartridges on the hill, leading into Bolivar, a comrade of mine remarked "I don't like this night fighting"' I thought the same thing, but made no remark.
When we got down into Harpers Ferry the flames in the Armory were extinguished and we were quartered in that portion which had been saved.
We remained in the Armory Building several weeks, and were occupied in drilling and guard duty, which at times was quite irksome.
One warm afternoon in May, the long roll was sounded, the drummer beating his drum vigorously and the fifer playing his fife lustily. They marched up and down the Armory Road and now and then would cry out "They are coming." All was confusion for a while then we were ordered to fall in with loaded guns. We were soon in line, with trappings on, and ordered to march up the Potomac River towards Shepherdstown. Very soon we were informed that the enemy was crossing and advancing at Shepherdstown and we were ordered to march there and meet them. We marched rapidly through the woods and fields. General Jackson (then Colonel Jackson) was with us on horseback, and seemed delighted at the prospect of active services. But half way between Harpers Ferry and Shepherdstown we were overtaken by a violent thunder storm, it was a very heavy rain and we wrere [sic] drenched from neck to heels. We pressed on and reached Shepherdstown a short time after dark. The town was quiet and the people seemed surprised to see an armed force approaching, in fact as much surprised as we were to be called out for a long roll. We rested a while in our wet clothes, and were marched to Kearneysville on the Turnpike, at times going through pieces of water up to our knees and taken back to Harpers Ferry on the Baltimore & Ohio Road, next morning in gondola cars.
We wondered at the time why it was we were deceived by the false alarm, and why it was we were exposed to the elements and forced march. But afterwards we knew that it meant a training for the arduous campaign which we were called upon to endure and through which we were compelled to pass.
We remained at Harpers Ferry some weeks and the time was occupied in organizing the troops into Regiments, and officers were appointed to command. General Harper of the Militia was in command for sometime and was afterwards superseded by General Joseph E. Johnston. We evacuated some time in June, the date I do not remember. The first Brigade consisting of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 27th and 33rd Regiments was organized at this place and afterwards at the first Battle of Manassas was denominated the Stone Wall Brigade, commanded by General Jackson, this brigade was stationed, for a while, on the Potomac River and remained there until General Patterson invaded this State with an army of 20,000 He crossed near Williamsport on the Potomac River and a short Battle was fought near Hainesville. General Jackson was too skillful an officer to attack an army of 20,000 with one brigade, but he moved out from Camp towards the enemy and presented a bold front; it was the first time I had seen the enemy in column and filing out to the left and right to form line of Battle. General Jackson was in front with a small battery and some firing took place which was new to us. Part of the 5th Virginia regiment was taken to the front, skirmishers thrown out and some brisk firing was heard for a while. But General Jackson withdrew his command towards Martinsburg employing skirmishers when the Brigade fell back before the enemy. We continued there at for four or five miles to Martinsburg to what was called the "Big Springs." At that place we encamped for the night. After marching and skirmishing during the day and afternoon, we were pretty well fatigued and I lay down in camp soon falling into a deep sleep. Now my recollection is that I slept through until the sun wakened me by shining in my face. When I did get up, Ben White, a member of Company G, afterwards killed at the Battle of Chancellorsville, remarked to me "Do you know you cursed General Jackson last night?" I denied it and asked him not to tell such tales as that on me but he said that it was true. He then went on to tell me that General Jackson came through the camp that night, where he (Ben White) was attending to the camp fire, and he saw him come to where I was stretched out on the ground asleep, asking me where Col. Allen's head quarters were. I did not respond at once and he continued to shake me by the shoulders; after continuing to try to arouse me, I reached over near a rock pile, by which I was lying, and told him, in very rough language, if he did not go away I would strike him in the face. If such a thing occurred, I must have been sound asleep and stupid after the hard day's marching, and the impression made on me was that some of my comrades were trying to tease and annoy me. I have no recollection of such an occurrence, and if it did occur, it is about as bold an act as a soldier was ever guilty of, to resist and denounce the commanding General.
We afterwards learned that General Jackson was endeavoring to find Colonel Allen of the Regiment of the Brigade to prepare for a night attack at once on the Federal Army under Gen. Patterson. This was a bold act and I can't see that it was much to my credit. General Jackson seemed to understand it and moved on to continue his search for Colonel Allen's head-quarters, which I suppose, was under a tree in the woods.

The inaugural Blue Hens CAN unified campus food drive closed Friday, with the University of Delaware collecting more than two tons of nonperishable food items to stock the Food Bank of Delaware.
Blue Hens CAN — a joint venture of the University's College of Health Sciences (CHS), the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) and the Food Bank of Delaware — featured a UD food collection bus parked at a different campus location each day of this week to accept items donated by the campus community.
The goods were then transported to the Food Bank of Delaware at the end of each day.
Assisting with collections at the bus on Friday were representatives of the Dietetics and Nutrition Club, the Interfraternity Council, the Occupational Therapy Club and the Food Science Club.
A large donation Friday came from UD's Sussex County sites in Georgetown. UD students, the Sussex County Master Gardeners, 4-H Club members and staff from the Carvel Research and Education Center, along with participants from Delaware Technical Community College and the Delmarva Poultry Industry, combined to donate 389 pounds of food.
The total for the Blue Hens CAN effort during the week topped two tons, according to a representative of the Food Bank of Delaware.
Blue Hens CAN organizers said additional donations are anticipated and an official final total will be announced in the near future.

Gluten Free Vegetarian Indian Recipes: Dal Vada/Dal Pakora and Cilantro Chutney Recipe
When I went to India for two weeks during Winter break, I was thrilled to be invited into the home of a family in Bangalore twice for elaborate and delicious home cooked meals. Every dish was delicious, but my and my husband's absolute favorite dish was dal vada, or a dal pakora made out of ground channa dal. It was a naturally gluten free dish that fulfilled every fried-food fantasy I'd had since I arrived in India, where most fried foods were off limits. DH and I gobbled up way more than our fair share of this delightful appetizer, and I absolutely had to ask for the recipe. When we got back home, I immediately bought channa dal at my favorite local Indian grocer. And then- life intruded. There was absolutely no time to make elaborate dal fried dishes, so I had to leave the recipe in my recipe file. Luckily a few weeks ago the CeliacSF Bay Area support group held a potluck at a member's home with an Indian food theme. PERFECT! I thought- time to pull out all my favorite authentic Indian recipes, including this one for dal pakora. To my intense joy, the recipe came off without a hitch- and everyone at our potluck seemed to enjoy this authentic Indian recipe. And, the nicest compliment of all- one new member had brought her mother, visiting from India, who said that while she had her own similar recipe, she really liked mine too. I was thrilled with that generous stamp of approval, and slightly startled when I came back for seconds and found only three lonely little pakora left out of a huge batch. Apparently I'm not the only GF folk to enjoy the occasional GF fried treat!
Here's a pictorial guide to making Dal Vada:
First soak chana dal overnight. Then drain, rinse, and grind it in a food processor with garlic and ginger until it's a nice, smooth dough.
Then mix in all the other ingredients, including cilantro and red onion. Form into little balls, flatten, and deep fry until cooked all the way through and deep golden brown.
And, here's a video for a similar recipe using combined dal:
And, if you want another video, here's a great video showing in great detail how to make authentic dal vada
By the way, channa dal is a dal that I really enjoy. It's a yellow lentil similar to yellow split pea, but a little larger. It almost looks like a dried corn kernel. It's fantastically low on the glycemic index, and tasty too. You can do lots of things with channa dal. If you've got channa dal left in your pantry after making this yummy recipe, try one of these recipes:
Channa dal with Spinach Recipe
Sukhi Channa Dal Recipe
Another Channa Dal Recipe
Spicy Channa Dal Recipe
You can also try my Mint Cilantro Chutney Recipe
with this dal pakora recipe
if you have some mint on hand. Enjoy!
And, here's my post describing the dinner party in Bangalore where I first enjoyed this recipe.
*IMPORTANT REMINDER: The Adopt-a-gluten-free blogger deadline is July 7th. Please send me the URL of your post about your adopted blogger, photo, and description of the recipe NO LATER than this date, as I will be flying to Japan on the morning of July 9th. If you don't get your entry in by this date, you may not be included in the roundup until (retroactively) in early August… You can email me at seamaiden399(at)gmail[dot]com. Thanks guys and can't wait to see your posts!
Chana Dal Pakora or Dal Vada Recipe- revised
250 gm (8.8 oz) Bengal Gram (Channa/ Chana Dal)
1 1/2 medium red onions, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
2-3 finely chopped green serrano chili
2-3 cloves (Loung?)
1 stick (1 inch) cinnamon bark (dalchini)
salt to taste
Cooking Oil for deep frying
Chutney to serve- mint or cilantro chutney is lovely. Mint AND cilantro chutney is also nice. A red tomato chutney or even ketchup offers a nice contrast.
Soak 250 gm. (washed) Bengal gram for 5-6 hours. Strain the water and grind the strained dal along with crushed garlic, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon bark. It's hard for the food processor to break up the cinnamon bark, so make sure to start with it. You may have to break up pieces by hand. Put the ground mixture in a bowl and mix finely chopped onions, fresh cilantro leaves, salt, and green chilies. Mix it well with spoon or by hand. Make round, flat patty shaped balls and deep fry on medium flame in oil heated on medium heat. If the oil is smoking, it's too hot! I find that it is very easy to burn the first few while trying to get the temperature right, but you're shooting for a cooking period of about 2.5 minutes, then turn for 2.5 minutes more. If you fry them too fast, the inside will be raw, so you really want that type of extended frying period.
*Tip: Before you start frying, set up a cooling area with an (edged) cookie pan and a cooling rack. You can line the cookie pan with paper towels if you like, but place the fritters on the rack when they're done. Then the oil can drip down but the fritter won't get soggy like it would on a paper towel.
This is a South Indian recipe that our friends (originally from Northern India) had been introduced to by their son�s caretaker. They liked it so much they adopted the recipe- and after weeks in India drooling over all the gluten containing fried snacks I couldn�t have, it was a thrill for me to enjoy this in their home. I begged them to make it again when we visited their house a second time- and it was just as wonderful as I remember! Probably my favorite thing I ate over the entire duration of our trip. :)
I finally made this recipe in my own kitchen on the first day of summer because my local Celiac support group was having a potluck with an "indian foods" theme. I wanted to bring all my favorite recipes that I discovered while visiting India, so I made this recipe, as well as homemade rasgulla and aloo jeera. It was all sooo yummy! And everyone gobbled up the Dal Vada, because as DH put it- of course everybody wanted gluten-free fried goodness. :)
Cilantro Chutney Recipe
1 1/2 chopped, de-seeded serrano chili
3 tbsp lemon or lime juice
3/4 inch ginger
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp. oil
dash of asafoetida/hing (use one made from Rice Flour, like Whole Foods)
1 very large bunch chopped cilantro or 2 medium bunches
1 tbsp sugar (or less, taste and adjust to your preference)
Combine everything in a food processor except for the cilantro and sugar. Add the cilantro a bunch at a time and combine. Add 1 1/2 tsp sugar, taste, and add more if you like. You can also add more salt or lemon juice if you prefer.
These are perfect frozen in ice cube trays and defrosted as needed. It's best to freeze them as soon as possible after making the sauce to preserve color and flavor.
Manjula suggests combining 1 part chutney to 3 parts yogurt for a dip, 1 part chutney and 2 parts cream cheese for a sandwich spread (Me: how about with cucumber slices? Yum!), or even as a component of a vinaigrette.

Ever seen a flying Hirola? The tall distinctive Hirola (Beatragus hunteri) is the world's most endangered antelope and is the only existing member of its genus. It is also, quite possibly, the only one to have flown by helicopter.
This SOS - Save Our Species funded project working with the Northern Rangeland Trust (NRT) aims to stabilise the population by creating a predator free sanctuary for a stock of 48 Hirola to facilitate breeding. Helicopter transport was the best means to penetrate the rugged scrub and bush terrain of Northern Kenya. Further, air transport ensured the sensitive animals were relocated quickly and safely due to the coordinated efforts of ground and air teams that relied on the support and participation of the local Ishaqbini communities.
Indeed community involvement is key to the project's long-term success because it is hoped the 3,000 acre sanctuary will provide a new revenue stream for local communities in the form of eco-tourism opportunities as an alternative to livestock rearing. Consequently involving community elders in the capture operation helped entrench support for the sanctuary among the broader community.
In a technically complex, yet highly successful conservation plan two years in the planning and months in the making, the animals were relocated from the wild and placed in the sanctuary through a joint operation of the Northern Rangelands Trust, the Hara, Korissa and Kotile communities, the Ishaqbini Conservancy management and considerable support from the Kenya Wildlife Service Hirola Management Committee.
The first step in the 6 day capture and relocation operation was to find and identify suitable herds from the air, using light aircraft and helicopters. Individual Hirola were then marshalled safely into capture nets manned by teams hiding in the scrubland. Once secured, blindfolded and sedated, team members protected horns with rubber piping before loading two animals at a time into a waiting helicopter for immediate relocation to a holding area in the newly constructed sanctuary. Upon arrival the animals were revived and left to stabilise for a day before being released into their new home where they could explore and establish territories of their own. In total, the team caught 17 adult females, 3 sub-adult females, 2 juvenile males, 1 juvenile female and 1 adult male, while a further 24 living close to the sanctuary were herded in by foot. No more than five Hirola were relocated from any one wild herd.
Taking 8 months to construct the physical enclosure and supporting infrastructure, the conservation team engaged with local Ishaqbini community members to develop and agree maintenance plans that would ensure the sustainability of the initiative. In addition to the 48 Hirola, and the removal of predators, team members successfully introduced several zebra, kudu, giraffe, oryx and topi as well as smaller predators such as caracal, genet and civet to populate the sanctuary.
Having suffered a severe decline, dropping from approximately 14,000 animals in the 1970's to less than 500 today, the Hirola is in dire need of intervention if the population is to begin recovery. Found in a narrow belt of bush and grasslands between Somalia and northern Kenya, the remaining population are subject to predation and human impacts created by the reliance on pastoralism in this remote and arid land. The loss of the Hirola would be the first extinction of a mammalian genus on mainland Africa in modern human history. Increasing the number of Hirola by creating a community oriented solution to boost their numbers before releasing them back into the wild in the future will contribute to the recovery of this elegant 'spectacled' antelope.

For those of you who like to multi-task on vacation, the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens are an incredible mix of animal and plant life. With so much to see, you won't even notice you've been to two attractions at once.
The LA Zoo and Botanical gardens are located within the enormous Griffith Park. Spreading over 4,300 acres, Griffith is one of the largest and most famous parks in the country and commonly referred to as the "central park" of Los Angeles (although much bigger by comparison).
The botanical gardens at the LA Zoo are scattered throughout the grounds in 15 different collections. They feature over 800 different plant species with a total of over 7,400 individual plants.
Officially accredited in 2003, the botanical gardens are an important park feature for both the zoo visitors as well as its inhabitants. plants not only fill the zoo landscape, but also provide food for the animals. The biggest and most abundant collection of plants in the gardens is referred to as "browse". These acacia, eucalyptus, ficus, and mulberry Many of the specialty gardens are also dedicated to growing tasty animal snacks like the Edible Garden which produces corn stalks, figs, beets, and banana tree leaves.
An extensive collection of indigenous plants can be found in the native garden. This is filled with species that can only grow in the unique climate of southern California such as Cleveland sage, "Dark Star" ceanothus and dozens of California wildflowers.
Additionally, the zoo serves as a plant collection center for illegally imported specimens confiscated from government agencies. Rare bulbs, orchids, and cacti are often rescued from smuggling and put on special display in the botanical greenhouse.
The gardens are mostly organized by their native habitat, similar to the zoo animals. Still a work in progress, curators aim to have someone visit a certain animal and have them surrounded in flora only of that environment to produce an authentic atmosphere.
The LA Zoo and Botanical gardens uniquely educates the public of the important role plants play to sustain eco-systems and wildlife. The animals need and enjoy the botanical gardens just as much as we do!

Save Money on Supplies
It's no surprise that college in expensive. Between tuition, books, and supplies, the price tag of an education steadily increases. While you may not be able to barter your way to a lower tuition, you can cut costs in other ways. Here's a few tips:
• Live at home. It seems so simple. Living with your parents means you won't be spending money on rent, and you may even be able to save on food. Apart from tuition, rent is often the biggest expense for a student. If you are stressed about staying – or moving back in with – your parents, set some ground rules. Establish a system so you aren't in each other's way, agree on a curfew, and have a date that you will be moved out by.
• Live with Roommates. If you cannot stand the idea of living with your parents, and you can't afford to live by yourself, find a roommate or two or three. Bunk up with existing friends, put a flyer up on campus, or place an ad online. Roommates not only help cut costs, they can help you study, share food and utility expenses, and give you someone to hang out with when you can't read about Anatomy for one more minute.
• Buy Used. Used books. Used furniture. Used computers. These days, you can find it all. Many campus bookstores mark up book prices by a ton, so try an off-campus bookstore or Amazon.com. That $125 microbiology might be $90 at the off-campus store just a few blocks away. For furniture and computers, check out thrift stores and the local paper. It's amazing what some people will sell or even give away.
• Sell Used Textbook. After you've aced your physiology class, get rid of that book you'll never open again and make a few bucks at the same time. You won't make nearly as much as you could if you sell your book back to the campus bookstore. Post it online or sell back to an off-campus dealer for the best deal.

It's been just under twenty years since TNG (Star Trek: The Next Generation) concluded. Of course, it's not been off the air since. Did you watch? Do you catch old episodes when you see them on? Does it hold up? Let's talk about this.
The other day, I caught "The Measure of a Man" on TV. This is the one where Data is ordered to report for experimental refit by Commander Maddox, a cybernetics expert who basically wants to tear Data apart in a bid to learn what makes him tick so that more Datas can be built. Data refuses and the episode shifts into the court room where Picard's old flame who also prosecuted him at his court-martial after he lost Stargazer will decide Data's fate.
The underlying question is if Data is a slave of Starfleet or a person. Of course, this was pretty cool social commentary back in the day and if you don't think about it too much, it still is. But the more I see the episode, the less I like it due to its glaring hole, namely the fact that Data is a Starfleet officer, so Starfleet has apparently already made its own determination about Data's status. After all, I doubt Starfleet was in the habit of giving unthinking robots commissions and the ability to command other Starfleet officers it outranked.

As Japan's Nikkei 225 tested bear market territory on Friday, investors are beginning to fear that they may have been overly optimistic about an economic revival in the world's third largest economy.
"People are wary of once again feeling that it's not going to work. I can't tell you the mass of clients who said 'I put money into the market in 2003, 1999,' failure, failure, failure," Ed Rogers, CEO, Rogers Investment Advisors, told CNBC, referring to the short-lived rally in both years, which was followed by a downward trend.
(Read More: UBS Warns of 'Abegeddon' Risk in Japan)
"They are all terrified of getting it wrong again, believing there's a recovery story when there's not," he added.
The Nikkei index fell to as low as 12,660 in the morning session – marking 20.5 percent downside from the peak 15,942 level hit in late-May. A bear market is characterized by a 20 percent or more decline in a market.

The Rams are once again state finalists and part of area prep history — one of four Gainesville tennis teams to advance to the state finals the same season
The Eastside High School boys tennis team started Thursday afternoon as ground crew members at Jonesville Tennis Center.
Come evening time they were once again state finalists and part of area prep history — one of four Gainesville tennis teams to advance to the state finals.
Afternoon showers delayed Eastside's regional finals matchup against Dade City Pasco nearly three hours. If the matches were going to get in, coach Dave Porter and his Rams would have to make the green clay playable. That meant drying the courts with towels before a single ball could be served.
"We were all a little tired from all the work we did for about an hour," Porter said. "Despite that we were very well balanced tonight. Everyone was consistent and fought hard."
Eastside's No. 1, Hyunsoo Joo, had to work the hardest. Joo went three sets against Pasco's No.1 Austin Riddaugh. After taking the first set 6-2, Joo lost the second 4-6. In the pivotal third set, the Rams' top player won 6-4.
In the battle of No. 2s — EHS' Samuel Cockey and Josh Mooris — Cockey won 6-1, 6-3.
Camille Kima, the Rams No. 3, won his match 6-2, 6-0 against Alex Mitchell. Maxwell Curtis, Tabong Kima and Evan Robins were also winners for Eastside, which won the match 6-1.
"It feels great," said Robins, the senior captain who won his match 6-4, 7-5. "It shows how hard we worked. We didn't want to just get to states, we want to do well at states."
The Class 2A state finals begin Wednesday. The team competition takes place at Red Bug Lake Park in Casselberry.

Release Date: February 2011 (online exclusive)
MAC has a new collection that is keeping things light for the Spring. The Lightfully Bright Collection is primarily a skin care launch with just a bit of color from four limited edition Lipglass colors.
While I am usually into skin care and love to pamper my face, I am not that excited about these skin care products. What's going to be different about them? When I read about this skin care line, I just think about the money it will cost. The skin care products are all limited edition as well so for me personally, if I were to try something and really like it, I'd be bummed out that I couldn't get more of it in the coming months. I prefer to just find my favorite skin care products knowing they will be around in months to come.
I am intrigued by the Lipglasses in this collection. I get really excited for spring to get here when I see colors like these. I want to try Outer Space. It is a white with pink pearl in it; Although, I may have to work on my tan before I can truly pull off the color. I also want to try the Astro Cool Lipglass. I think the light lavender with pink pearl sounds really feminine and pretty.
This collection is only available online here in the United States. It you want to buy it in MAC stores, you'll have to travel to Asia.
Outer Space—White with pink pearl (Limited Edition)
Astro Cool—Light lavender with pink pearl (Limited Edition)
Atmospheric—Pink with blue pearl (Limited Edition)
Ethereal—Pale blue with pink pearl (Limited Edition)

Airbus, the European aircraft manufacturer and GEDC (Global Engineering Deans Council), the leading organisation for engineering education, launch an award to recognize individuals who have been pro active in bringing more diversity into engineering classrooms. They intend to reward initiatives which encourage students of all profiles, gender, social and cultural backgrounds as well as disability, to study and succeed in engineering.
The long term aim of this new award is to increase diversity among the global community of engineering educators and professionals, so that the engineering industry reflects the diversity of the communities it supports. In addition it will ensure that more students have the opportunity to experience and value working in diverse teams during their studies.
"Increasing demands for engineers globally means we must broaden our reach and attract the most talented people to the industry" said Sarah Rajala, Dean of the Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University and Chair of the GEDC. "With this award we want to make sure that engineering represents the population served by the industry, with opportunities for everyone. It will recognise the contribution of individuals, or of their projects, which have enhanced the diversity in engineering education globally."
"At Airbus we have some 100 nationalities and over 20 languages are spoken among our 55,000 employees. We believe that this diversity is a huge strength, a vital part of our business success and that it helps foster innovation, performance and engagement." said Charles Champion, Airbus Executive Vice President Engineering.
Following the launch the GEDC and Airbus will establish an Awards Committee comprising experts in engineering education, diversity and industry, to define the application guidelines, evaluation criteria, selection process and launch the call for candidates.
Airbus is a corporate member of the GEDC (Global Engineering Deans Council), a leading global organisation whose members are individuals responsible for setting the agenda for higher education in engineering in their countries and universities.

Sadly, many of the early pioneers of the computer industry, from Admiral Grace Hopper to Digital Equipment Corp.'s Ken Olsen, are no longer with us. Even some second-generation pioneers, such as Apple's Steve Jobs and the reengineering guru Michael Hammer, have passed in the prime of life.
But what about the inventors and entrepreneurs who built on the work done by the first generation? They are the leaders who helped drive the PC industry, who packed computers into smartphones, and who innovated not just in how computers were built and operated, but also in how they changed the way modern business operates. Their technologies have changed our lives.
We plucked a handful of names from the technology history books to revisit. The faces that follow certainly don't comprise a definitive list of all-time great living tech leaders; that's a project for another day. Rather, these are examples drawn from a cast of thousands: engineers who created the next great thing, thinkers who sought a better way of utilizing IT, entrepreneurs who risked it all -- including their life savings and credit ratings -- to bring a startup to commercial success, and businesspeople who took charge of a tech company, driven by an inner confidence that better days were ahead.
In many cases, these second-generation tech pioneers have long outlived the companies for which they are known. And there's no shame in that; it's how technology progresses and business works. The technologies offered by those companies not only served a purpose back in the 1980s, 1990s, or later, but they also set a foundation for the capabilities that we enjoy today.
Take the example of the PC, which provided the arena where many of these folks operated. The traditional PC may be heading for the boneyard, but the concepts it introduced in terms of power and miniaturization -- an information device that's under the control of an average worker, and eventually, mobility -- are the bricks with which today's business is built.
You'll notice that this list is male-dominated. Frankly, so was the technology sector in the 1980s and 1990s. However, women are making great strides today as entrepreneurs in startups and through the corporate ranks to CEO of giant tech companies. This list will look very different 10 or 15 years from now.
Since this list is far from comprehensive, we'd love to know who we missed -- and what they are doing today. So share a comment or two and update us on a tech great you admire.
This was a really interesting look at tech giants and where they are now. Thanks James !

CHFcc needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 17 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
MoneyNaut Website
My business is content creation. I am providing a Logo with Title for a WP blog site.
Demographic: those looking for money making opportunities in various areas. Too numerous to list.
The Logo - Illustrations:
The word "MoneyNaut" is derived from AstroNAUT.....
I would like a logo that shows the following:
- Illustrated, vintage style spaceship, that is maybe flying around the logo text, or from behind it, at it...some sort of movement.
- it will also have an illustrated astronaut, looking through a telescope/binoculars/other, and holding a bag/backpack/other of money.
- astronaut would have a lifeline/rope to the ship
- some rocket examples I like:
The Logo - Text:
- The text will only say: "MoneyNaut"
- Would be two toned and would match the color scheme of this WP template (brown):
- I would like the text to somehow show that it is a word selected from a list. The list would have: Astronaut, Cosmonaut, ....MoneyNaut...something like that. This could be on the text itself, or on the ship...I leave that to your design imagination.
- I like how this feels, but its just to show a different slant:
Let me know if you have questions.

Jody Tompson has taught classes in countries all over the world, but
he has never taught on the open water in the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean. Tompson, an associate professor of management who is on
sabbatical from UT this semester, is teaching classes in international
entrepreneurship and global management as part of the Semester at Sea
program aboard the 590-foot MV Explorer as it circumnavigates the globe.
He is joined on the trip by his wife and three children and
teaches daily while the ship is at sea. The only breaks come when the
ship reaches a port, which sometimes takes more than a week when
crossing the ocean – making for what he said is a grueling teaching
schedule. We might have nine consecutive days of classes, then five consecutive days of no classes," Tompson said in a recent interview with the Tampa Tribune.
"It's hard to get into any rhythm. And of course there are waves. It's
not easy to teach while the ship is rolling back and forth.""The students are ambitious and organized, so it feels familiar in that respect," Tompson said. For
Meghan Hacas, a UT junior and finance major who is also spending the
semester aboard the ship, every stop is a chance to extend the learning
experience. "Instead of just going to one country for four
months, I get a little taste of everything," Hacas said. "I got to see
the amazing architectural aspect of Spain and then a week later I will
see the socioeconomic problems in India." The only breaks in
the class schedule come when the ship arrives at a port in one of the 12
different countries it is scheduled to visit along the way. Faculty,
including Tompson, lead trips into places like Cadiz and Sevilla, Spain;
Morocco; Namibia and Cape Town, South Africa. Hacas applied for
the program specifically to learn more about the world's cultures. So
far she has camped in a nomad camp in the Sahara Desert, watched snake
charmers in the markets in Morocco, witnessed the living conditions of a
native tribe in Namibia, and gone on a safari through Kruger National
Park in South Africa. "It has been a very big culture shock,"
she said. "My views on other countries have changed drastically and
materialistic things suddenly do not look as important as they once
did."The more than 700 undergraduates participating in the
journey earn credit through the University of Virginia, the program's
academic sponsor.The MV Explorer is a modern passenger ship that
the Semester at Sea program uses twice a year to circumnavigate the
globe. Among its amenities are a student union, wireless Internet
(available via satellite connection when the ship is at sea), an
8,000-volume library, a swimming pool, a faculty and staff lounge, and
many of the other items one would find on a land-based university
campus. The ship also has planned stops in Bangkok, Thailand –
one of the cities Tompson says he most looks forward to – as well as
Chennai, India; Hong Kong; Kobe, Japan; and Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala.

Bridge Builder
A visit to the bustling city of Istanbul captures the essence of Turkey's evolving role in the world.
The Bosphorus strait divides Europe and Asia. The giant bridge of the same name that crosses it links the two continents together.
Beyond the symbolism of the bustling city, Turkey is currently experiencing an expansion of its role as a bridge builder -- largely due to the new occupant in the White House.
It is very symbolic that Barack Obama chose Turkey as his first port of call in a Muslim country during his first 100 days in office.
Turkey remains secular, continues to knock on the European Union's door for membership, and has a handful of relationships in the Middle East that could be vital in the peace process.
During an exclusive interview in Brussels, Turkey's President Abudullah Gul provided more than a few glimpses into the shuttle diplomacy, with Washington's blessing, that is now underway.
President Gul recently met with the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei -- it was no accident that it was just days before President Obama reached out with his message to Iran.
"I was able to speak in a very free and sincere atmosphere. I am sure they are listening, they are deliberating and I am sure that at the end when they are convinced that all these messages are sincere, then we can see action," said Gul on the sidelines of the European Business Summit.
Asked whether the elections will need to pass before there is a response to President Obama's olive branch, Gul said, "The politicians before the election, they have to be populists. So, therefore after the election maybe these serious issues can be handled better."
In the meantime, Turkey is sustaining its shuttle diplomacy with Israel and Syria.
Gul, it is fair to say, is very positive about the change in leadership in Washington and the gestures overall to the Middle East.
"[Middle East leaders]should not miss this opportunity because President Obama is saying we are going to listen to you. We are not going to enforce our own policies on you. This is a good starting point."
While Middle East politics evolve, Turkey is filling another role for the West -- as an energy transport hub to counterbalance the inconsistent gestures from Moscow on supplies to Europe.
Washington was a big supporter of the BTC –- the Baku, Tbilisi, Ceyhan oil pipeline that runs from Azerbaijan to Turkey's south-eastern coast.
The next goal is the potential building of the Nabucco gas pipeline that will deliver energy from Central Asia to Austria via Turkey. There is some good old fashioned wrangling behind the scenes over transit fees and local supplies for Turkey, while Russia is busy trying to tie up the gas supplies through its network.
But the fact is Turkey will play a bigger role on this front in the next decade.
"It is a bridge between East and West," says Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency. "In the energy sector it certainly contributes as a very important bridge of resources of the Middle East to the West."
According to the Center for European Reform, Turkey is near 70 percent of the world's proven reserves of natural gas. Neighboring Iran and Iraq have still not exploited their natural gas exports.
President Gul calls Turkey position in this geo-political game "a unique role."
"You have to diversify the sources. If you have the sources you should secure transportation."
This sounds simple but, of course, it is not. With Turkey eager to see accession talks to the European Union move at a more rapid pace, there are concerns in Brussels that the Turkish leadership is playing the energy card.
Turkey can help deliver energy to the West, especially Europe, but expect a price tag to be attached.
As the former President of TUSIAD, the powerful Turkish business association noted, "There are some powers, there are even some companies, that take Turkey for granted. That there is a particular role for Turkey to play and that is it. I don't think that it will evolve that way, in that simple manner."
No one ever said straddling both sides of the fence is easy; straddling two continents is even more complicated and yes more interesting.
I think that Turkey's fundamental problems will always be a reason of geopolitical weakness. But also make Turkey a bad place to invest to.
Extreme Corruption , immense influence of other parties other than the state in the economy and in politics .
in addition to that the illegal occupation of Cyprus by Turkish troops and other issues like the fact that they are not wanted in the EU , certainly rises questions about Turkey's future and current role in the region.
Whether they like it or not those issues are there to remain , and it seems to me that they don't do anything to solve them as they will rather lose EU membership than sacrifice any of their interests abroad ,stop an illegal occupation or reform.
On the issues of the middle east they are too anti-Nato , Anti-American and i have not see them contribute anything substantial.
Yeah they have a common border with Iraq and Iran and other states.
But while that may have some positive effects it is also a negative factor as in any military conflict in the region they would possibly want to interfere to gain for it.
Another thing is that they are also approaching Russia as well.
And i see that Obama's visit , may have a lot to do with that.
Of course i understand why some Americans would want to paint that picture of Turkey but as i have explained the reality is very very different.

Powers Takes on New Role
Dillon Powers was one of the youngest members of the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team during the FIFA 2009 U-20 World Cup. Two years later Powers joins the team again, this time as a leader bringing his experience and skill to Thomas Rongen's talented squad that's working towards securing a spot in the FIFA 2011 U-20 World Cup.
Dillon Powers is no stranger to the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team.
During the 2008-09 Development Academy season he quickly rose onto the national radar while playing for Andromeda SC in Texas. He then made the jump into Thomas Rongen's roster in 2009 and has been a staple of the team ever since.
Powers was named Development Academy Player of the Year in the 2008-09 and at the end of the season Rongen heeded advice from scouts and technical advisors and called the Plano, Texas, native into the final training camp before the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Two years younger than most of the players in camp, and not even enrolled in college yet, Powers knew he had a lot to learn.
"Last time I was going in with the mentality like, 'let's see what I can do,'" he said. "I didn't really expect too much."
Just two years later, the Notre Dame sophomore is coming into this World Cup qualifying campaign with 13 caps for the U-20s under his belt. One of only four college players on the roster, the 20-year-old doesn't let that hold him back.
"Psychologically I can't tell myself, 'I'm in college so I'm not going to be able to keep up', because if so it's a self-fulfilling prophecy," Powers said. "I just have to have confidence in my own ability and then not really worry about what situation I'm in or anyone else is in and just take it as the best player plays and that way I think I can be a leader."
Despite his experience at the World Cup, this will be the first qualifying campaign for Powers after joining the team so late in the 2009 cycle. At this point with the current group, he is grateful for the opportunity to form strong relationships with his teammates.
"Watching this team develop from the beginning and getting to know my teammates better is important," Powers said. "Knowing each other off the field doesn't translate exactly, but in the end, it's fun to be on the field with these guys and kind of stick it out for each other."
After fighting to overcome an injury, Powers will be one of the many leaders on the U.S. team when it heads to Guatemala to take on Suriname and Panama, and hopefully compete in the quarterfinal with a World Cup berth on the line.
"I'm excited for qualifying and I think it's great to go through the process of having to earn a spot in the World Cup," Powers said. "I'm also excited to play in a meaningful game because we play a lot of games but most of them are friendlies. This is what we're working towards and it's exciting. We expect anything can happen. I'm excited for this team and I think we have the chance to do well."

A year and half ago a CrossFit gym opened up in my office building, and I got to test out the intense fitness routine that has taken the world by storm. CrossFit isn't an exercise routine that is suitable for everyone, however, after doing it four times a week for nearly three months now, I'm really starting to see the results in terms of energy levels, mental acuity, and weight.
While doing CrossFit, I've noticed the similarities between a physical exercise routine, and the discipline needed to gain the full benefits from a spiritual practice. There are five types of people in relation to CrossFit. First, there are those for whom fitness and exercise is not at all a priority. They never step foot in a gym and the entire concept of any fitness routine is foreign to them. These people are often unfit and at higher risk for a whole host of health-related issues.
The second type are those who care about the idea of becoming fit, in theory. A week into doing CrossFit their bodies become sore and they have yet to see the benefits, and they begin to realize how challenging CrossFit is. After the initial excitement period wears off, they give up.
Then there's the casual CrossFitter who shows up maybe once or twice a week, does a solid workout, but doesn't push themselves too hard. These people are health and fitness conscious, but CrossFit is certainly not their life. The fourth type comes in four or five times a week. These people have serious fitness goals, want to be healthy, but don't necessarily see themselves as part of the CrossFit community. I would consider myself in this category.
Lastly there's the fifth type — those who are completely dedicated to CrossFit. They spend long hours in the gym, wear CrossFit t-shirts, and never miss a workout. They attend and compete in CrossFit competitions and are fluent in the CrossFit vernacular. They are religious in their dedication to CrossFit. And, it is those most dedicated to CrossFit who reap the most benefits. They are physically fit, and have found kinship and friendship within the CrossFit community. The more effort put in, the greater they gain on many different levels besides just the physical. Such dedication is obviously not for everyone.
Spirituality and religion have many parallels to fitness regimes. In fact Judaism itself compares the two (see Maimonides, Laws of Temperament, 4:1 and in a letter Rabbi DovBer of Mezeritch, d. 1772 wrote to his son for example of this).
Like fitness, the spiritual benefits one can gain from the religious practices of Judaism take effort and dedication. The five types of people mentioned above are mirrored in relation to religion and spirituality.

A peace activist and three Catholic Workers were found guilty of failure to leave Nov. 12 in connection with a "die-in" protesting the militarization of space at an annual gathering of military leaders and defense contractors in Omaha, Neb. Catholic News Service first reported Oct. 10 on the faith-inspired witness during Keep Space for Peace Week.
Among those convicted was 90-year-old Peg Gallagher, a longtime peace activist and member of St. Cecilia Cathedral Parish in Omaha. She was sentenced to 20 hours of community service.
Gallagher and about 20 others had gathered outside the Qwest Center, site of the Strategic Space and Defense 2008 conference, a major event where new weapons systems are introduced and strategies to deploy them are discussed.
Also found guilty in the 4th Judicial District Court of Nebraska in Douglas County were Omaha Catholic Workers Kathy Peterson, 54; Mark Kenney, 51; and Jerry Ebner, 58. Peterson was fined $100 plus court costs; Kenney was fined $150 plus court costs; and Ebner was fined $500 plus court costs and given probation. Kenney and Ebner pledged not to pay their fines and may be subject to future jail sentences.
A fifth person, Michael Walli, 60, a Catholic Worker from Duluth, Minn., entered a not guilty plea days after his arrest and went to trial Nov. 14. The charge against him was dismissed after a Qwest Center employee and arresting officers testified that Walli was not told individually to leave the facility. He had been held in the Douglas County Jail for 38 days after failing to post a $15,000 bail.
Walli told CNS shortly after leaving the courthouse that he plans to gradually make his way back to Duluth.
Three others arrested at the protest have served jail time for their involvement after being found guilty during court hearings in October.

New Mexico farmers seek 'Priority Call' as drought persists
Written byFELICITY BARRINGER, New York Times
Just after the local water board announced this month that its farmers would get only one-tenth of their normal water allotment this year, Ronnie Walterscheid, 53, stood up and called on his elected representatives to declare a water war on their upstream neighbors. "It's always been about us giving up," Mr. Walterscheid said, to nods. "I say we push back hard right now."
The drought-fueled anger of southeastern New Mexico's farmers and ranchers is boiling, and there is nowhere near enough water in the desiccated Pecos River to cool it down. Roswell, about 75 miles to the north, has somewhat more water available and so is the focus of intense resentment here. Mr. Walterscheid and others believe that Roswell's artesian wells reduce Carlsbad's surface water.
For decades, the regional status quo meant the northerners pumped groundwater and the southerners piped surface water. Now, amid the worst drought on record, some in Carlsbad say they must upend the status quo to survive. They want to make what is known as a priority call on the Pecos River.VIEW ORIGINAL ARTICLE
