Elaine Fountaine is a rare bird. She was the first woman to qualify as a barber in Queensland and her barber shop is chock full of military memorabilia.

"You never know who is going to walk through that door" says Elaine who has styled brigadiers, fleet captains and politicians.
"One time a few years back we had a military exercise with the Americans and I had 60 marines lined up with their backpacks out in the corridor [and] sitting in here," she chuckles.
Short back and sides is her most requested style, but when the American servicemen are in town that changes to 'high and tight' which is shorter still, says Elaine.
Elaine has spent ten years collecting historical military artefacts for her shop and says she has rarities that the Canberra War Museum would envy.
"I have been told there is some valuable items... but what do you put value on, it's just the history. You can't put a price on history."

Ten tweaks for a new Acer Aspire One
Take charge of Linpus
5. Install Skype
The AA1 is a great communications device, but Skype doesn't come pre-installed. Head over to the Skype website and download the VoIP app. You're looking for the Linux versions and, in particular, the release for Fedora 7, the Linux distribution on which the AA1's Linpus Linux is based.
Skype's .rpm downloaded
When it's downloaded, open up your AA1's Downloads folder - click on any of the entries in the desktop's Files section - and double-click on the skype-22.214.171.124-fc5.i586.rpm icon.
Again, when it's installed, Skype will appear in the Advanced Menu, part of the Network sub-menu.
6. Add Desktop Icons
It's all very well having the Advanced Menu, but for some apps you'd also like the fast access provided by the AA1 desktop. Here's how you make them appear. Press Alt-F2, type in
xterm to open the command line window - experienced Linux hands call it a Terminal - and click on Run...
At the command line, type
sudo mousepad /home/user/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml and hit Enter. This calls up the desktop's configuration file. Scroll through and you'll see how the entries are arranged. Skype's already present, but it's set so that the desktop will ignore it - remove the
!-- at the start of the line it's in and the
-- at the end. You'll also need to change the
app sequence= number - set it to
Save the file then restart your AA1. Click on the right-arrow button in the Connect section, and you should see a new Skype icon. Drag and drop it higher in the list if you prefer.
Other apps are kept in the AA1's
/usr/share/applications folder as .desktop files. You can add these to the desktop UI by editing the
group-app.xml file as above, copying the Skype line, pasting it into any of the four sections and changing the name of the app to be loaded. Make sure all the apps in a section - indicated by the
<id>x</id> tags - have different
app sequence= numbers.

Innovative features for
professional-looking results
made easyYou're serious about sewing - and now, with the Innov-is XV, you can invest
in your talent. Everything's easier, faster and more intuitive than ever.
See exactly where the needle will drop. Convert scanned images to
embroidery data in just a few seconds. Add stippling embroidery where
you like. This is the machine on which you'll perfect your skills.
Features that will bring out the professional in you:
New high-resolution screen
The Innov-is XV comes with a new 10.1" high-resolution touch screen that makes editing
your embroidery so much easier. There's also an improved user interface, with better
on-screen design-editing features.
Along with a new, even faster processor, we've added a super-large embroidery area for
maximum convenience.
A new intelligent camera-eye system means better
embroidery positioning. Thanks to the LED pointer,
you can see exactly where the needle will drop.
You'll get an accurate on-screen preview before you
start embroidering. And the magnified view of the
needle position lets you see your work in detail.
Truly professional sewingNew sewing features give you consistent stitch length, laser-straight lines and uniform edge
stitching. Tie-off stitches at the touch of a button, feed denims and silks with ease and
customise your stitching directly onto the screen.
Professional sewing features:
Line art recognitionPrepare to be amazed. An inspiring new
feature on the Innov-is XV is its ability to
recognise line art. That means you can
automatically create beautiful embroidery
from hand-drawn designs, such as graffiti,
pattern templates or even your signature.
You simply use pen and paper to draw the
outline, then put the paper on the scanning
frame. The camera scans and recognises it.
It's then automatically turned into embroidery
data on the Innov-is XV.
You can also trace graphics with a pen to
create running embroidery just like
free-motion quilting. The Innov-is XV will
convert a scanned image to data in seconds. Free-motion quilting normally takes lots of
practice, but we've made it foolproof.
StipplingWith the Innov-is XV, you can easily add stippling embroidery
wherever you like. You'll achieve uniform results (unlike free-motion
stippling, which relies on having a good technique).
Simply hoop the fabric and choose the area where you want the
stippling effect to appear. Select the stippling stitch and watch as
your chosen area automatically fills with your stippling pattern.
With the Innov-is XV, you'll enjoy professional results every time.
My Design CenterMy Design Center allows you to create your own embroidery designs
quickly and easily, directly on the Innov-is XV touch screen.
This powerful and unique feature allows you to create your own
embroidery designs from clip art image files or draw directly
on the large touch screen.
Colour ShufflingThe enhanced Colour Shuffling function
makes it easy to choose new colour
schemes for embroidery designs. Select from
Random, Gradient, Vivid and Soft styles and
a range of colour combinations will be
displayed on screen. Simply select your
preferred option and embroider the design.
Now you can also choose your preferred
starting colour and the Innov-is XV will
generate complementary colour combinations
based on your favourite colours.
With the autopunch feature, you can now automatically turn scanned images or jpeg
clip art into embroidery data.
Simply import a jpeg clip art image with the memory stick, or use the scanning frame to
scan an image. The Innov-is XV will recognise the illustration and automatically translate it
into embroidery data.
No computer required
Your sewing machine won't need to be hooked up to a computer. It's fast, fun, simple
and convenient. The many built-in embroidery designs can
be customised to your preferences
combine them, change their size, rotate
them, repeat them, add lettering and

Cars.com sale shows success, struggle for news companies
The Gannett Co.'s announcement Tuesday that it was buying out its four media partners in Cars.com to the tune of $1.8 billion is both a success story for the struggling newspaper sector and a sign of the challenges ahead.
The largest U.S. newspaper publisher, Gannett said it was buying the 73 percent stake held by McClatchy and three other partners in Classified Ventures, the parent of popular auto shopping website Cars.com. Also selling stakes to Gannett were Tribune Media Co., Graham Holdings Co. and A.H. Belo Corp.
And as had been predicted by several industry watchers, Gannett also reorganized into two publicly traded media companies, leaving its newspaper publishing operations in one standalone business and lumping its digital ventures into a new company that also will retain Gannett's vast broadcast holdings.
The deal provides Gannett, publisher of USA Today, with sole control of a profitable digital site and gives the sellers an infusion of cash at a time of high valuations for Internet ventures.
"This was one of those acquisitions, simply put, that makes perfect sense financially and strategically," said Gracia Martore, president and CEO of Gannett, during a call with investment analysts.
As its sole owner, Gannett can "take the business to the next level," said Martore, adding that she will become the CEO of the new publicly traded company that combines higher-growth broadcast and digital holdings.
In an interview, McClatchy CEO Patrick Talamantes hinted that the sale marked a milestone.
"We were in it for 17 years. It was a joint venture for all that time. As often happens to joint ventures, eventually there is an ownership transition," he said. "There has been enough change amongst the ownership group, and change among each owner even, that it just made a lot of sense for some owners to move on and for Gannett to provide the means by which the others could move on."
Here's why the sale marks a milestone. When started in 1997, Classified Ventures was a way in which newspaper publishers could share the risk in creating a digital company that helped offset what became a massive loss of print revenues from classified advertising. At the time, classifieds were disrupted by Craigslist and other online-only sites.
But the newspaper companies stuck together and turned Cars.com and similar sites into important online companies in their own right. The sale for $1.8 billion speaks to how well that venture did and the potential it offers going forward.
"They're moving from a startup (business) to an ownership mode," said Ed Atorino, a veteran securities analyst specializing in media for New York-based The Benchmark Co.
Cars.com, which has 10 million monthly unique users and lists 4.3 million new and used cars from 20,000 dealers, has grown steadily since its creation in 1997. The sale of Cars.com comes seven months after Cox Enterprises paid $1.8 billion for a 25 percent share of Autotrader.com, the leading auto site with 14 million unique users a month.
"All that has happened is the market for Internet assets became stronger and stronger," said Talamantes, adding that revenue from the sale _ which will net McClatchy about $406 million after taxes _ will enable the company to reinvest in new Internet ventures. "Cars.com only addresses a fairly limited segment of our overall business. We think that by selling the asset that we're able to benefit our entire portfolio of advertising business and not just the automotive segment."
Media companies have been competing increasingly for advertising revenue against digital-only companies like Google and Facebook, which have captured the lion's share of digital advertising gains.
"I don't think Gracia (Martore) is going to put Google out of business," said Atorino, who was quick to warn that shrinking print advertising revenue continues to dampen the longer-term outlook for newspapers _ one reason Gannett pared off its newspaper arm.
"Newspapers have a challenging environment. And television is booming. End of story," said Atorino.
Where revenue is going
Gannett is separating its faster-growing broadcast business from its slower-growing newspaper business. Shifts in mobile ad revenue, shown above, reflect changing consumer habits, including the growth of car-buying apps like the one offered by Cars.com.
Gannett becomes the last big public U.S. media company to separate its print and broadcast holdings, part of a bigger strategic shift there and within the media sector to pare off the more profitable broadcast operations from the struggling newspaper business.
"It says that the broadcast industry is basically very healthy. They continue to have the benefit of a tremendous amount of political advertising," said Rick Edmonds, a media analyst at the Poynter Institute, which offers journalism training in St. Petersburg, Fla., and online.
Broadcast stations are also now receiving transmission fees from cable companies, a relatively new development, and that adds to their improving revenue outlook.
"That's a big new source of revenue. A number of these companies . . . have expanded by purchasing other operations," said Edmonds, noting that having newspaper holdings "is kind of a drag on the broadcast and digital-ventures side."
There is a potential silver lining for newspapers, however.
"The theory is they'll do better in a company by themselves. They won't necessarily be last in line to get capital or management attention," he said.
Gannett's move follows other media companies that have separated their print and broadcast holdings. These include Belo, News Corp., Tribune and Scripps/Journal Communications. Tribune finalized its splitting of media holdings on Monday, while E.W. Scripps and Journal Communications on July 30 announced their intent to merge broadcast operations and then spin off newspaper publishing.
Gannett executives said they will use cash on hand and issue new bonds to help finance the acquisition of Cars.com and creation of a new standalone company, not yet named.
"One of the smartest things Gannett is doing is not putting any debt on the newspaper operation they're spinning off," said Craig A. Huber, an independent media research analyst at Huber Research Partners.
For McClatchy, he said, the sale allows it to work off more of its high debt. The $406 million in estimated after-tax proceeds from the sale, he said, will help knock down the approximately $1.5 billion of debt on the Sacramento, Calif.-based company's balance sheet.
"It's kind of like selling your wife's wedding ring, your very best asset, but it gives them breathing room to pay down debt," said Huber. "It's a good thing for McClatchy."
Investors seemed to agree. Shares in Gannett and McClatchy opened up strong but lost most of Tuesday's early gains in a down day for equities on the New York Stock Exchange. McClatchy closed up nine cents to $4.65 a share, while Gannett finished off by 45 cents to $33.87.
McClatchy has sold a number of assets in the past year, including its stake in the Apartments.com website, the Anchorage Daily News and McClatchy-Tribune Information Services, a joint wire service now operated by Tribune.
McClatchy said the timing of the sales was coincidental and did not represent any change in strategy.

Closer to Indonesia than to any other Australian city, Darwin is the capital of the "Top End" - the remote, vast Northern Territory. Home to more than half of the territory's population, the city reflects the rugged endurance and individualism required to survive the Outback. Darwin also boasts a colorful history to add to that heritage. During World War II the Japanese bombed the city and threatened invasion. In 1974, Cyclone Tracy cut a destructive swath through the region. In addition, man-eating crocodiles, tropical monsoons, searing heat and bush fires that burn for weeks are all part of everyday life.Locals in the Top End consume over 60 gallons of beer a year. All those empties don't go to waste: Each year Darwin residents compete in the Beer Can Regatta, a race with boats, rafts and other vessels manufactured out of beer cans.

On March 25th, our 8 month old baby had what I now know was a seizure. Her eyes had a still stare, and her mouth started turning blue. My husband took her inside and looked her over. She was tired and we were questioning what had just happened. Was she really blue? I think she had done something similar before in the middle of the night, so we thought maybe it was just a sleepy baby. After a perfect Easter Day, April 8th she did it again. Something was very wrong. We took her to the doctor first thing in the morning. The doctor ordered an EEG for Wednesday, but she had another episode that day after lunch. I was able to catch some of it on video to show the doctor. They immediately admitted us to Cox hospital where the MRI showed a tumor. We were flown to St. Louis Children's Hospital that evening. We were told she would have an operation to remove it, but after meeting with her neurosurgeon, he confirmed that the tumor was in a very dangerous location and we need to find out what we are dealing with. She was given a skeletal x-ray, lumbar puncture, blood tests, and finally a brain biopsy. We were sent home on April 15th. One week after the biopsy on April 20th, the diagnosis was given. Desmoplastic Infantile Ganglioglioma.
"The patient is a 9 month old girl who presented to an outside hospital with a two week history of intermittent staring spells associated with shallow breathing and periorbital cyanosis. MRI showed an heterogeneously enhancing intra- and extra-axial mass centered in the left Sylvian fissure, with adjacent cyst-like components, vasogenic edema, leptomeningeal enhancement, and dural thickening. The mass encases the left middle cerebral artery."
There stated is our biggest issue, "encases the left middle cerebral artery". Our neurosurgeon has an excellent reputation and had recommended we remove the largest portion and leave the encased section on the cerebral artery. The removal of the largest portion would leave her with a spastic right arm. It would not be usable and be curled up. If he removes the artery section it would also leave her leg unusable. Her memory, speech, and facial expression would move to the right side of her brain. The risk of stroke during operation is very high.
At this moment, our beautiful baby girl has no idea she has a tumor. She is happy, learning to crawl, and loves playing with her 5 year old sister and 4 year old brother. We are in a waiting period to do anything right now because she is still technically recovering from the biopsy. We are collecting all the information we can find on chemo treatments that others have had with this same treatment. I am so frightened of the chemo and what lies ahead for her. I want to be as informed as I can and make the right decisions. We have a couple second opinions we are waiting on this week as well. I'm looking for chemo or other treatments (not radiation) that will stop it from growing or even shrink it enough so she doesn't have to be on seizure medication. Right now, our last resort is the surgery, which ironically is the best cure for DIG. I think there must be at least 5000 people praying for our little darling. I don't want to make her sick from chemo that doesn't work, she seems so healthy and happy. She is still nursing, eats a mainly organic diet, and I have eliminated any sweet tastes of anything and also meat from her diet. You would never know she was sick if it wasn't for the stitches that go from the top of her fore-head down to her ear.
We are looking for any information that parents and caregivers can give us that actually works for a DIG.
Update September 2012
Our daughter has been undergoing a non-traditional type of treatment that began in May 2012. Since her treatment began, she has shown a 56% reduction in her tumor. Her seizures have stopped and our biggest issue at the moment is a very large cyst that we are keeping and eye on. We are still interested in finding other parents and caregivers who's child has been diagnosed with a DIG. We know we could have a long way to go, by our daughter is healty and happy and we continue to do whatever we can to give her the best treatment and care.

Stage 11 heads west to traverse the twisty roads in the centre of Pisa, then heads east with a likely tailwind back to Pontedera for the finish. Basso must show his power here to take major time from his rivals, while Cunego, DiLuca and especially Simoni must try to lose as little time as possible. Jan Ullrich will also try to test his legs in this Thursday time trial.

Tashi Condelee takes the stage whilst Big Freedia does her thang
Wednesday night I was mulling my options about what exciting way to spend my evening. Since my brother won't let me come to his house to play Battlefield 2 - Bad Company, I was weighing whether or not to go to the Support Your Local Actresses event (which I'd said I would but suddenly wasn't feeling), watch Departures or The Isle, or have a low-key game night. My friend Karen Lee offered a solitary vote for game night, but after another friend, Anne Kelson, offhandedly said, "There's some Nola thing going on at El Cid," I received a sudden jolt of energy. Of course I was intrigued. She told me someone named Big Freedia was performing. My Lenten abstinence of booze was thrown out the window (again).

KSM, 4 others to face murder charges again in Guantánamo
The ringleader is the U.S.-educated one-time chief of al-Qaida operations who bragged that he was responsible for the Sept. 11 terror attacks "from A to Z." He was held for years in CIA detention, where agents waterboarded him 183 times.
The others include a one-legged militant, a self-described wannabe 9/11 hijacker, a money manager and the mastermind's nephew, who has introduced himself in court as a Microsoft-certified software engineer.
All five are being brought to the Guantánamo war court Saturday to face arraignment as the architects of the worst terror attack on American soil in U.S. history.
And if that all sounds familiar, it is, because, yes, we've been here before.
The Pentagon is resetting the clock and restarting the Sept. 11 terror trial of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, 46, and four alleged accomplices, seeking to write the final chapter of the five men nearly a year to the day after Special Forces hunted down and killed Osama bin Laden.
These are the men whom President George W. Bush had brought to the U.S. Navy base in southeast Cuba for trials by military commissions in 2006, proceedings that President Barack Obama had halted to reform them with Congress in a bid to make them more credible in international law and human rights circles.
All five are accused of conspiring to organize, train or funnel funds to the 19 hijackers who flew four airliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field on Sept. 11, 2001. Each is charged with killing 2,976 people. Each faces execution, if convicted, by a method yet to be decided by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta or his successor.
And, if past court appearances are any indicator, Mohammed will take the lead defendant's seat — and center stage — at the Guantánamo war court where he has described himself as a warrior for radical Islam and told a military judge that he welcomed martyrdom.
"We don't care about the capital punishment,'' Mohammed said at his last war court appearance in 2009. "We are doing jihad for the cause of God."
Since arriving at Guantánamo, Mohammed has portrayed himself as a grandiose mystic — posing for a Red Cross photo kneeling on a prayer rug, flowing white robe and mammoth beard in one appearance, bragging to a military panel that he beheaded Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl "with my blessed hand" in another, and calling himself a revolutionary just like George Washington.
He has signed his court documents as "KSM," the nickname American law enforcement gave him in a worldwide manhunt.
In his war court charge sheet he comes off as a meticulous micromanager of the largest mass murder in American history — coaching the mostly Saudi hijackers on the most basic brutish English for their mission — "if anyone moves, I'll kill you" — then having them practice the art of slaughter on sheep, goats and camels.
Nowhere does it mention that the CIA waterboarded him an unrivaled 183 times to break him at secret overseas prisons, using interrogation techniques the Obama administration now brands as torture. Nor does it note that he became so accustomed to the treatment that he counted off the seconds of near-drowning with his fingers, having realized that the CIA was not authorized to actually kill him.
"I think at his core, KSM is rotten. There's something really, really wrong," says Terry McDermott, co-author of The Hunt for KSM.
The book, recently released, tracks Mohammed's path from his youth in Kuwait through North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro to Bin Laden in Afghanistan. It concludes all the harsh interrogation techniques got the United States no closer to finding bin Laden. A differing account, just written by the ex-CIA official who oversaw the secret interrogations, Jose Rodriguez, argues the techniques were crucial to national security.
But on Mohammed's ambition the men agree. "As near as we can tell, from 1992 until he was captured, he did nothing but terrorism," McDermott said. "In that time he probably came up with 100 different ideas for how to kill people. It was nonstop."
Now, he faces off with the new chief judge of military commissions, Army Col. James L. Pohl, as the lead defendant in the complex conspiracy prosecution that Attorney General Eric Holder wanted put before a civilian jury in Manhattan — "in a courtroom just blocks away from where the Twin Towers once stood."
Congress thwarted that ambition. So now, all five men will be brought before Pohl at Guantánamo's maximum-security court complex in a rare Saturday arraignment that starts the so-called speedy time clock toward trial before a military jury of 12 or more field-grade officers, called a Military Commission. Attendance at the arraignment is mandatory, to hear the charges against them and answer the judge on whether they'll accept their Pentagon-paid defense teams.
They are:
Walid bin Attash, 33, a Yemeni who lost his leg in a 1997 battlefield accident in Afghanistan, sits behind Mohammed in court and is cast in the charge sheets as the No. 2 of the so-called "Planes Operation."
He's a former al-Qaida training camp instructor who allegedly handpicked some of the Sept. 11 hijackers out of a hand-to-hand combat training course two years before 9/11 — and brought them to Mohammed in Pakistan. There they practiced on a computer-driven flight simulation program and learned the English they needed for their mission.
Ramzi bin al Shibh, 40, sits behind bin Attash in court. Bin al Shibh is another Yemeni who is described in the charge sheets as applying four times to get a U.S. visa, starting more than year before the terror attacks, and failing each time before ultimately serving as a Hamburg, Germany, based deputy, transferring funds to some of the hijackers as well as trying to enroll himself along with the actual hijackers in Florida flight schools.
In 2009 at Guantánamo, before the Bush-era trial was abandoned, bin al Shibh was never able to persuade the court that, like Mohammed and bin Attash, he was competent enough to function as his own lawyer in court. Instead, he was prone to outbursts — from interrupting proceedings to offer Muslim holiday greetings to bin Laden to observing that then-judge Ralph Kohlmann, a Marine colonel, had a Jewish-sounding name.
He was the first of the five to be captured, according to news reports, in a Pakistani-U.S. intelligence raid a year to the day after the 9/11 attacks, on Sept. 11, 2002, in Karachi, Pakistan.
• The computer engineer who introduced himself in court as Ammar al Baluchi, 34, is identified as Ali Abdul Aziz Ali in court documents. A nephew of Mohammed, he's a Pakistani by nationality who speaks excellent English and is accused of moving money and making travel arrangements for the hijackers. His charge sheet describes him as a would-be martyr who, just weeks before Sept. 11, sought a one-week visa to visit the United States on Sept. 4. He was turned down, and seized by Pakistani authorities on April 29, 2003, in Karachi along with bin Attash.
Mustafa al Hawsawi, 43, a Saudi national, also is accused of moving money and credit cards to some of the hijackers, helping some buy clothing while in transit from Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, to Orlando, via London. At one point he sent a package to one of the United Airlines hijackers in Delray Beach. CIA agents captured him on the same day as Mohammed on March 1, 2003, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, according to leaked documents. Like the other alleged 9/11 conspirators, he disappeared into the agency's secret prison network, only to surface at Guantánamo in September 2006, a transfer Bush announced in a White House press conference.

Hi Everyone! I'm new here, I have a 5 month old tri named Lady. When I got her I was intending to probably get a second cav after a year or so, but... my breeder has a sweet 12lb girl who is almost 3 years old, but cannot be bred due to a low thyroid issue. She is therefore giving her up to a pet home, and I thought a slightly older dog might be easier than a second puppy. I've talked to my vet and the low thyroid problem is manageable with a pill a day. I've heard some bad stories about having two girls together, but I would be having both spayed (Lady next month and the new girl in a couple months as she is just coming into heat now). Do you think it's a good idea to take her, or should I wait? The reason Im considering a second is because I thought it would be nice for Lady to have a friend during the time I am at work. I live in an apartment but come home every day at lunch from work for walks, and we go for long walks at night and for hikes on weekends. Two can't be that much harder than one, especially since the seconds a bit older? Any advice would help, thanks :)

Testosterone after Prostate Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer about 18 months ago and had radiation treatment. My PSA has dropped, and all seems to be going well. But my libido, erectile function, and general energy level are not what I'd like them to be. I'm 74 and in good health. My testosterone level is at the low end of the normal range. I wonder if testosterone therapy would help, or would it be too risky? I have heard opinions on both sides of this question and wonder what you think .
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Since testosterone will stimulate the growth of any residual prostate cancer, it is permanently contraindicated after treatment for prostate cancer. There were studies in the past that gave prostate cancer patients testosterone to stimulate the tumor growth, and then later gave them anti-cancer treatment, figuring that proliferating tumor cells would be more sensitive to therapy. Unfortunately, not only did the treatment not work, but the growth rate of the tumor did not slow down in some patients after the testosterone was stopped. In the trials of testosterone administration followed by P-32 for known bone metastases, the survival in the testosterone pretreated group was significantly worse than in the non-pretreated group. If there is truly no tumor left in your body after treatment, then theoretically, taking testosterone should not have any effect, one way or the other. Ultimately, however, no one can say for sure that you will remain prostate cancer-free forever, and so using testosterone carries a great potential risk in anyone with a history of prostate cancer.

Many of you will know that I have advocated doing ultralight orbital insertions because suborbital is of course useless. And I was right.
But rather than now finally trying to do the right thing and build a good Isp lean rocket optimized for orbit, it occurred to me that AA could skip the launch vehicle part and instead buy transport aboard a commercial launcher for a tiny satellite.
I have advocated sending up an ultralight optical satellite, space telescope as well as other optical capabilities such as ultra sensitive night vision to watch traffic around earth since that is both commercially viable as well as able to disclose the UFO reality. A mirror telescope can be super light if done right so it's a nice confluence of cheap and potent.
But if the purpose is to get a small satellite up and AA is jaded about rocketry failures and endless cost, why not skip the rocketry part. Just buy passage for a small satellite.
Sure the budget would still be in the million dollar range but it would come with near certain mission success. No small improvement.
It could start with 3x cubesat size. 30x10cm rectangular primary mirror and unfolding parts for a ritchey-chretien telescope.
unfolding solar panels and radio and computer gear as well as magnetic attitude control. a few internet connected ground stations around the world and you really have something.
And if you are smart you include an ultra sensitive high exposure wide angle camera to look at black space near earth to look for luminous objects that move in a way they are not supposed to according to the official story.
That is assuming you are intelligent enough to remember that the premise of AA was to do better than pathetic Nasa has done.
It's worth realizing that you decided that you could do better with a budget of only a few million than Nasa does with a 20000 million dollar annual budget. Not that you even realized the implications of such distrust. It's time for some conscious understanding instead of childish aimlessness.
I assure you Nasa is a lie and always was. The spectacular stagnation of Nasa is not entirely accidental. When even US astronauts come forward to tell you ET ships are real and it is being covered up, it's time to start thinking.
And of course it is real.
Statistically speaking, several of the readers of this forum have seen the ships themselves. Some of you may even have been face to face with ETs. As bizarre as that sounds. Such is our pathetic reality. Mindless hamster in a cage, refusing to acknowledge our reality of being part of a vast and ancient sea of star systems.
If we can find thousands of planets and even detect life on them (oxygen spectral profile) then does it not follow trivially that cultures a billion years older than us would have known about us all along.
Why must your thoughts be so provincial.

Lightning ruled the skies, and the football field, on the first Friday of the season. West Craven, Pamlico and Havelock faced delays, while New Bern's game was postponed. Havelock didn't get started until after the Sun Journal's deadline.
Lightning ruled the skies, and the football field, on the first Friday of the season. West Craven, Pamlico and Havelock faced delays, while New Bern's game was postponed. Havelock didn't get started until after the Sun Journal's deadline.
For a full story on the games, check back later to our web site at www.newbernsj.com.
Pamlico 38, Croatan 13
CROATAN � It didn't take long for Pamlico's football team to get that monkey off their back.
Kevin Yost won his first football game as head coach at Pamlico, and the Hurricanes already matched last year's win total with just one performance.
Tony Credle, Cameron Moore and Tariq Davis each scored a touchdown, and Trevan Respers added a defensive touchdown.
Pamlico (1-0) plays its home-opener next Friday against Lakewood in Bayboro.
West Craven 27, Edenton-Holmes 23
EDENTON � Latrail Scott ran for a touchdown and returned a fumble for a score as the West Craven Eagles rallied to snap Edenton-Holmes' 19-game regular-season win streak.
Scott scooped up a fumble and scampered 40 yards to the end zone with 8:52 remaining in the game. Quarterback Alkeim Harley tacked on the two-point conversion to hand the Eagles a 21-20 lead.
Following a Holmes' field goal, Eagles' Tyrone Brown ran 62 yards for a score with less than five minutes remaining.
West Craven's offense gave away two scores in the second quarter, and its special teams gave up another in the third.
Edenton Holmes' Cordareous Pierce returned an interception 65 yards and Anthony Brownridge took a fumble back for a touchdown to give the Aces a 13-0 lead.
On fourth-and-goal from the 16, Harley connected with wide receiver Kylikke Green, putting the Eagles on the scoreboard.
After trailing 13-7 at halftime, West Craven allowed a 90-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff to Holmes' Xavionne Long. Scott's 15-yard touchdown run cut the Eagles' deficit to 20-13.
West Craven (1-0) hosts South Central next Friday.
Kinston 41, Jones Senior 21
TRENTON � Kinston proved to be too much for Jones Senior in both team's first game.
The Vikings jumped out to a 28-0 lead after the first quarter, and a 41-13 advantage by halftime.
Demetrius Williams and Glen White each scored a first-half touchdown, but the Trojans were still out-gained, 254-47.
After a scoreless third quarter, White tossed a 15-yard touchdown pass to Javon Andrews with 5:43 left in the game.
Jones Senior (0-1) travels to Jacksonville next Friday.
Havelock ends late
WASHINGTON � Havelock's title defense kicked off later than scheduled on Friday evening.
After nearly two hours in delays, the Rams began their first game against the Washington Pam Pack at approximately 9:30 p.m.
After a scoreless first quarter, Havelock superstar running back Derrell Scott darted for a go-ahead 38-yard touchdown run with 9:52 remaining in the half.
The game wasn't completed until after the Sun Journal went to press. Check back later for a full story on www.newbernsj.com.
New Bern-Hillside moved to Saturday
Weather put a stop to New Bern's football season-opener on Friday. Instead, the Bears will host Durham Hillside at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Caruso-Coates Stadium.
The game was postponed because of predicted thunderstorms, coupled with the distance the Hillside team had to travel from Durham.
Bears' football coach Bobby Curlings said Hillside didn't want to risk coming to New Bern with a potential thunderstorm on the way, have the game canceled, then have to return the next day.
New Bern beat Durham Hillside, 40-20, last season and 27-19 in 2011 � both season-openers. Hillside knocked off New Bern, 12-7, in the 2010 4A Eastern Regional Finals.

This conference was geared to crafters of all sorts...jewelry makers, graphic artists, printers, knitters, etc. etc. etc. Some sell at craft fairs, some online, some both. Caitlin Phillips of Rebound Designs (shown above) makes the coolest book purses. She is a great teacher, too, and I loved hearing her tips for setting up booths and interacting with customers.
I met several kindred spirits from the world of science and technology. Richard is super-smart paleontologist/cartoonist from Ithaca, New York. His adorable fiancee Kelly is a screen printer and all-around crafty gal. Together, they form Our Secret Treehouse, which has the coolest critter-themed items. They specialize in woodland creatures and dinosaurs (of course), but they also dabble in undergarments :) .
I scored this great triceratops button for Louie - RAWR! Don't you love the raised brow? If you live in Upstate NY, definitely be on the lookout for them at craft fairs.
I couldn't resist hugging up on some of my crafty heros, and of course I had to get photographic evidence of my dorkiness. Pictured above is THE Scoutie Girl, Tara Gentile. In her talk, she did a fantastic job explaining SEO (search engine optimization) in simple, human terms.
I remember watching the first season of Project Runway and thinking "Gosh, I'd love to hang out with Jay!" He is such a honey, and even though he is a high-fashion icon, he has the soul of a crafter. It was so much fun being in sessions with him, and he gave a side-splitting keynote address on Friday. Check out his website to see all the fabulous things he is up to.
I got to meet one of my favorite authors, Kari Chapin. She wrote The Handmade Marketplace, which has been a bestseller for almost 2 years now. She gave a brilliant workshop about goals and intentions. I came away with a lot of tools that will hopefully make me more productive and organized. I actually got up and blogged today, so I must be inspired!
Jay actually took that picture of us, and my camera wasn't cooperating. He said "It isn't working" and I said "Make it work." He didn't seem amused...imagine that.
In between sessions, I got to play around with yarn, felt, and fabric in the "Make Something Awesome" area.
Button making is addictive. I knocked out a few Christmas presents at that table.
On the last day of the Summit, I had a one-on-one shop critique with Cheyne Little and Danielle Maveal from Etsy (Cheyne heads up teams and Danielle leads seller education...they are dynamite). They gave me some very helpful feedback, so I'll be able to make the listings more concise and the shop easier to navigate. I also found out that I should be linking to my shop in blog posts, so here ya go!
I had my guys in tow, so they experienced the awesomeness while waiting for the children's museum across the street to open. Honestly, they would have been content to make pom-poms all day.
After the summit, the family took a water taxi ride to lunch across the harbor. Can you tell someone is proud of his pom-pom? He is definitely the most huggable crafter I've ever met.

We asked you to choose the sexiest things in the world about guys and girls. Here are your winners.
15. Glasses
Good news for everyone who's just been sitting and waiting for their vision impairment to pay off: this is your time.
14. Being Flexible
Flexibility: a sexy turn on in terms of physicality, but I also like to think this includes being open to MY suggestion of which movie to see tonight. Ruby Sparks looks good! Let's try it!
13. Long Hair
Forget to schedule a hair appointment this month? Good. Long hair's sexy. The longer the sexier, so don't even THINK of ever getting your hair cut again. Longer. Longer, I say!
12. A Subtle Foreign Accent (only if authentic)
Being from somewhere far away is hot, because it means you're different and mysterious and probably haven't heard many lame pick-up lines yet.
11. Lips
A good set of lips indicates great kissing ability, and that's sexy. It also indicates that you're not a snake or anything, which, again, is a plus.

Most international orders will now be shipped from our warehouse in Hong Kong or Netherlands (as per available stock), which will greatly expedite the shipping times for your order.
Territories of the United States: For those who reside in a territory of the United States that we ship to, please allow anywhere between 5-15 business days for your order to reach your destination.
*Free shipping excludes United Arab Emirates, India, and Switzerland. Due to increased shipping rates, we are no longer able to cover the cost of shipping to these regions.
You will receive a confirmation e-mail once your order has been processed to the e-mail address provided at the time of checkout, which can take up to 48 hours. You will receive a second e-mail once your order has shipped, which will include your tracking number and a link to follow the journey of your package. If there is a problem with your tracking number or package delivery, please contact the courier directly prior to contacting us. Please allow 1 - 4 days for the tracking information to show.

International customers (outside of the United States) are responsible to pay any applicable inbound duties, taxes, and any other fees which your local Customs authority deems appropriate. These fees are paid to your local carrier or government and are not collected by I love Alma, and thus cannot be refunded.
We ship international packages DDU (duties and taxes unpaid), meaning that these fees are not included in the price of the goods you purchase from our website. All applicable fees must be paid by the recipient in order to receive the parcel. As we are unable to advise the amount of what these fees might be, we recommend contacting your country's customs office or tax agent for respective charges and rates on a package coming outside of your country.
Please note that DHL pays on your behalf for any duties and taxes that are due on the goods, as soon they enter the country. This simple process ensures that the courier can deliver your package in shortest possible transit time. The goods are released to you only upon the full repayment of any duties and taxes that were paid on your behalf. On some occasions, you may receive an invoice from DHL after the delivery of goods, for the charges they have paid on your behalf at the destination, plus a small administration fee.
It is the responsibility of the buyer to make sure that she or he enters the shipping address correctly. We do our best to speed up processing and shipping times, hence there is a very small time gap to cancel/change your order or to change the address of your order. If you decide to cancel your order or change your shipping address, please write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as you place your order. We will do our best to make the change, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, as there are varying time limits in which we are able to do so.
If it's too late for our team to cancel your order, you can return your order to us once you've received it. For more information on how to return your order click here.The only thing we can do is wait to see if the package gets returned back to us. If it does get returned back to our warehouse, we can then ship it to the correct address or provide you with a full refund.
Extra Shipping Charges: If you upgraded your shipping and the package was returned to us due to an incorrect address and if you would like a refund, you will not be reimbursed for the upgraded shipping fees.
By placing an order at I LOVE LMA, you are responsible for the cost of return shipping back to I LOVE ALMA. Please refer to our international returns policy here for further information on how to return your packages.
All of our shipments include Tracking with Delivery Confirmation. If the tracking information confirms that the item has been delivered to your order address but you have not received your order, please contact couriers at numbers above in order to investigate this issue. We cannot be held accountable for packages where tracking information states the package has been delivered to your order address.
If you have previously experienced lost or stolen packages where you reside, we encourage you to instead have your package delivered to a work address to ensure that you receive it safe and sound.
Please note that I LOVE ALMA charges state sales taxes on orders to California and Pennsylvania at the rate application for the county of the purchaser. These collected taxes are mandated by the local state governments and Luxy Hair in no way benefits from this and directly pays this amount collected to the state.
