Sure it's an ad, but taking over your office building's lighting system en masse with an army of thirsty friends as an homage to every Irishman's favourite stout is a pretty refreshing dream while you're pinned inside your cubicle. Now if we could just do this with a massive INSTEON installation—then we'd be set. Check out the flashmob-inspired ad after the jump. Now I'm thirsty and it's barely even noon.

I have just started using MoinMoin wiki, and would like to embed a form in a page.
Specifically a Google Search form.
What would be the best way to go about doing this? I see that forms are a work in progress but this seems to be geared toward webapps. It seems to me this should be fairly straightforward if I had a better handle on the different approaches with moin.

Hey guys, sorry that I haven't posted for a long time. Back in November I lost my job and fell into despair (mostly because I had a few figures on PO that I was worried I wouldn't be able to afford Y_Y) Needless to say I believe I'm back on my feet (though still jobless ><) and have acquired a few new figmas to the family. I do plan on posting reviews of them and the others I acquired before the job loss, but do not know when that will happen. I'll keep you guys posted though. Thank you for sticking with me during this tough time in my life ^_^

Seattle is really known for two things: coffee and tech geeks. And I've never seen those two worlds collide in such beautiful harmony — like peanut butter meeting chocolate in a Reese's cup — than the newly-created "Textspresso" machine from Seattle cloud texting startup Zipwhip.
Life around the office coffee pot may never be the same if this crazy invention takes off.
Essentially, the contraption — and there's really no better word for it since it is comprised of nearly 300 different parts in a hacked up Ikea cabinet — allows individuals to place a coffee order via text message and have the machine automatically make it.
That means a Zipwhip employee who is driving into work, coming back from lunch, taking a bathroom break or whatever could text the word "coffee" or "latte" to the machine, and voila by the time they arrive at the office the steaming hot beverage is sitting there on a warming tray.
The concept is almost too good to be true, so I stopped by Zipwhip's offices this week to get a first-hand demo from CEO John Lauer.
Now, to be clear: Zipwhip is not in the business of making "Textspresso" machines. In fact, the reason for this very labor-intensive project (it took about 20 days to build) is to show off the power of the company's cloud texting platform, which allows individuals to receive text messages on tablets and desktop computers.
We will talk about that later. But, for now, we wanted to see the "Textspresso" machine in all of its brewing glory.
It should be noted that the Zipwhip crew is still working out a few kinks. For example, on my visit a printer filled with edible ink wasn't quite ready.
Yes, you read that right. Near the conclusion of the coffee-brewing process, the mug is designed to go under a printer so that the person's phone number and Zipwhip's logo is emblazoned with edible ink on the foam. After all, you don't want confusion when picking up your steaming hot coffee.
Here's Lauer taking us for a spin on the "Textspresso" machine:
Meanwhile, here's Lauer in an earlier video discussing the edible-ink printing process:

When a program causes a problem, in many cases an exception code is build by Windows to identify the nature of the fault. Use the Exception Solutions index to find information on a specific exception.
Faults occur when programs perform an action that is not recommended (a warning) or one that is not allowed (an error that is usually fatal). For example, if a program attempts to access protected memory, Windows will stop the program from running to protect the rest of the system and ensure a higher level of security.
This decoder helps split apart the the 32-bit NT status exception code into its functional parts and describes what each part of the code means. The code structure also allows for application vendors to create their own exception codes, which are not documented.
Enter your exception code to identify the component parts (in hex format):
Exception Code:
Exception Code:
Microsoft documents some of these details for programmers at MSDN NTSTATUS. Note that this MSDN document has the bits defined backwards 0 to 31 where they are really in the order of 31 to 0.

The members of this generation have the desire and the ability to use the Internet comfortably, allowing them to research hearing aid technology on their own. This is something that separates them from past generations who may have simply gone to their doctors and been handed answers. Baby boomers want to research their medical issues. They have confidence in their own judgment and want to ask questions and be involved in any decisions that need to be made.

First Student and the Teamsters Union 174 have reach a contract agreement. Drivers will be back to work on Mon. Feb. 12.
This news lifts the burden so many in our school community have experienced since the strike began Feb. 1.
We are deeply appreciative to all who have worked to ensure educational continuity during this time. Mostly, we thank our families for their patience as negotiations between First Student and the union reached this conclusion.
If you have questions that are not addressed below, please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
How will I know if my student's bus is one of those running during the strike?
The district reminding families about the strike each afternoon with an email or robocall (family-selected preference). Families receive a second district contact if their student's bus is expected to be in service the next day. If your student's route is cancelled in the morning, you will receive a morning call from the district.
We have more than one bus-riding student, but they ride different buses. How will I know which bus – or both – are running?
For families with students attending different schools and riding different buses, the list of scheduled routes will be attached to your evening email notice.
What is the impact on attendance rates so far?
We are using as our baseline the average absence rate for the 28 school days prior to the strike. It takes several days for attendance reports to be balanced. To be as accurate as possible, we are releasing absence rates three business days later. Monday's figure will be available on Thursday. For Thursday, Feb. 1, there was an increase of 180 absences.
What can the district due to end the strike?
The district continues to urge both parties to quickly resolve their dispute. First Student and the Teamsters Union 174 are private parties and are working with a federal mediator to resolve the contract issues. For now, the best course of action is urging both sides to work with the mediator and reach a fair resolution.
Can you explain the school district's process for selecting a bus vendor?
The district follows a contracting process where potential vendors are invited to submit bids that would fulfill the district's requirements outlined in a Request for Proposal (RFP). The School Board approved the current three-year contract with First Student in Feb. 2017. The new contract took effect Aug. 31, 2017 and ends in 2020.
The district had hoped to select multiple contractors to remedy some of the geographic and service challenges bus contractors experience in the Seattle. However, First Student was the only bidder. Companies that did not submit a bid cited the high cost of real estate and lack of available land for parking and maintaining a bus fleet were strong factors in their decision.
The Dec. 16, 2016 Board Action Report provides more background into the considerations made in this process.
Is the district considering purchasing land so it could purchase and operate its own bus fleet?
No. The district does not have plans to purchase buses. However, if the district owned a large enough parcel, it could provide fleet parking for a future bus vendor, which was cited as one reason vendors did not bid on the last contract. The School Board in January authorized staff to investigate and purchase, if appropriate for district needs, a large parcel of land in south King County. This Board Action Report provides more detail.
Why are some high school families receiving the daily phone updates about the strike?
Ingraham and Ballard high schools have a First Student-provided shuttle bus that takes students to and from a nearby transit hub. This service is not running during the bus strike. Since ridership can fluctuate and is not assigned, the district has to notify all families at both high schools.
Will schools be closed if there is a bus driver strike?
No. Schools will remain open and on regular schedule.
Can the district cancel school and make up the days like you would for snow days?
No. We are required by law to provide 180 days of instruction. Sometimes, our calendar is disrupted because of weather. The state allows us to make up this time at the end of the school year, and the make-up days have been bargained in advance with our teachers union.
If we can't get our child to school, will their absence be excused?
No, a missed day due to a transportation strike is not considered an excused absence under state law.
What are excused absences?
Families can read the list of state-wide definition of excused and unexcused absences on the Wash. State Legislature website and the district's associated Superintendent Procedure SP3121.
If a student is late to school because of the strike are they marked tardy?
Tardiness due to lack of transportation may be excused.
What options exist if the school buses don't run?
We are encouraging families to create alternate plans for getting their child to school. Some of the options include forming carpools or walking school buses with neighbors and classmates, or for students old enough to do so, riding public transport.
What if I can't get my child to school?
In that event, please notify your school. Missed classwork, homework and tests may be made up per approval of the classroom teacher.
If a student cannot get to school because of a strike how do schools deal with missed assignments?
We encourage schools to allow all students the opportunity to makeup missed assignments and assessments. The inability to access school buses should not exclude students from taking part in their school work. If possible, consider creative options to allow students to complete work from home.
What will happen if I can't get to school to pick up my child at the end of the school day?
Principals are making plans to help supervise students when possible until their family or approved emergency contact can pick them up. Please notify the school of any delays or changes in your child's pickup routine so they are aware and can provide support. Most schools will require that any delay in pickup is pre-arranged due to limited space and staffing. Please contact your school as soon as possible to discuss your family's needs.
What impacts would a strike have on transportation for special education students?
Some of our students in special education have district-arranged, private transportation other than a First Student bus. These students' transportation would not be disrupted. However, any student that rides a First Student bus would be affected.
What about students who have transportation as a related service in their IEP?
Only students using yellow buses will be impacted. When available, buses will be prioritized for our Special Education students. If a bus is not available, eligible families can also choose to drive their student to school and be reimbursed for the mileage per established rates. Families who are eligible for this Special Education service have been notified by email and provided more information. Please turn in these reimbursement forms to your student's case manager.
How would sports or field trips be affected?
Charter buses will be used for athletic competitions, but field trips will be canceled.
Why would the district provide charter buses for sports but not school?
A little more than 12,000 students ride a yellow bus daily. While we could hire enough charter buses to cover athletic activities, there isn't a provider large enough to meet the needs of our daily yellow bus ridership.
My child is enrolled in child care at the school. Is there any impact I should plan for?
We don't expect any impact to child care. However, you should talk to your provider to confirm.
Will there be transportation for after-school programs?
If a community partner uses First Student buses, there would not be transportation available. Please check with your child's after school program to see if the program will still be available and what the plans are for transportation.
How will the district provide strike and bus service updates?
The district immediately notify families these ways:
Only the families of those students who ride First Student buses will receive a phone message and email from the district.
We will notify local media, which likely provide regular updates throughout any strike scenario. We also commit to announce the restoration of bus service as quickly as possible.
How do I make sure to get a phone call if a strike happens?
Please make sure your emergency contact information is updated at your child's school. Please also have an emergency contact listed that has permission to pick up your child. Only the families of those students who ride First Student buses will receive a phone message and email from the district.
Whose employees are the bus drivers?
The drivers are employees of First Student. The district has a contract with First Student to provide uninterrupted bus service.
What obligations does First Student have under its contract with the district?
First Student is required to provide uninterrupted bus service to the district's students. First Student promised in its contract to not have a labor strike and is required to provide sufficient pay and benefits to attract and retain a bus driver workforce.


text: Over the past couple weeks some of President Obama's most fervent fans have openly deserted him – expressing a commonly heard frustration from his liberal base that his popular 2008 campaign slogan "hope and change" hasn't amounted to much. Amber Lee Ettinger, aka the "Obama Girl" — who gained notoriety through her racy YouTube video revealing her crush for then-Senator Obama — now won't even say whom she's voting for. Roberto Unger, one of Obama's professors at Harvard Law School went a step further, declaring in another YouTube video that his former student "must be defeated in the coming election." Though I understand their disappointment, I'd argue that Obama has in fact boldly changed the country. While it's true that the president hasn't come close to achieving his top priority of closing Guantanamo, in all fairness to Mr. Obama, he has ushered in a new era at the Pentagon. For example, let's look at the top 5 changes: 1. Up to $1 trillion in defense cuts are planned over the next decade With the war over in Iraq and winding down in Afghanistan, some downsizing at the Pentagon was to be expected. But it's much more than that. Take the half-a-trillion in programmed defense cuts over the next 10 years, combine this with another half-a-trillion from Obama's deal with Congress, when the Supercommittee failed to reach agreement on our national debt, and you will see a hollowed out military like the one we saw during the 1970s. Even Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, one of most influential Democrats in Washington over the past couple decades, described the Congressional sequestration cuts as, "a gun to their heads and to the heads of the country." A total of 100,000 ground troops are being eliminated, ship and aircraft numbers are shrinking fast, and new weapons systems are being scrapped or delayed. 2. National security leaks have skyrocketed With America's most sensitive secrets in cyber-warfare and counter-terrorism now routinely finding their way into breaking news alerts, even White House ally Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) called the leaks the "worst in a long time." From computer attacks on Iran's nuclear program, to a foiled Al Qaeda plot to take down an airliner with a new and improved underwear bomb worn by a Saudi double agent, to painstaking details on the SEAL team raid that killed Usama Bin Laden, Team Obama has apparently sought to score political points at the expense of protecting the nation's top covert operations. 3. The Pentagon is now detainee friendly Though Obama couldn't close Gitmo, the next best thing to that stated purposed was the decision to spend $750,000 in 2012 on a new soccer field for the detainees. Meanwhile, within the president's first 48 hours in office, he chose to ban all coercive interrogations – thereby depriving the military and intelligence community of an important tool in preventing potential mass-casualty terrorist attacks. Never mind the fact that just a handful of the most dangerous detainees ever underwent any sort of harsh techniques out of the tens of thousands of enemy combatants captured in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the globe — why let reality get in the way of a good political talking point? And what is the president's creative solution to avoid the prospect of coercive interrogations for terror suspects still on the loose? Simple, just kill them all via a drone strike. We've recently learned that even US citizens overseas have been fair game for the "secret kill list." 4. Military suicides are at an all time high As of early June, there were 154 suicides in the military this year – an astonishing rate of roughly one per day. This staggering figure is on par with the number killed in combat in Afghanistan over the same period. Though some blame multiple deployments, the Pentagon dismisses that idea, noting that almost half of the victims had never been deployed to a combat zone. One message the Pentagon does emphasize is that getting help is a sign of strength, not weakness – while promoting a suicide prevention crisis line of 1-800-273-8255. 5. Gay pride month is celebrated In an amazing first, Obama's Defense Department will conduct a LGBT Pride Month event on Tuesday, June 26 at the Pentagon Auditorium, with a speech from DoD's top lawyer Jeh Johnson and a panel discussion entitled, "The Value of Open Service and Diversity." With last year's repeal of the Clinton-era "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," policy gays can now serve openly in the military. That's a major change at the Pentagon and in our military. So my message for Ms. Ettinger, Prof. Unger, and countless other former Obama fans is that contrary to what some say, our current president has in fact changed America. Maybe not in the ways they had hoped, but the country has been transformed nevertheless. Read the original article at FoxNews.com.

James Eppolito
Few writers get to tell about mob hits made on members of their own family. One writer who had the opportunity was Detective Louie Eppolito of the New York City Police Department. On the evening of October 1, 1979, the day Pope John Paul II visited the Big Apple, James Eppolito and his son were killed in Coney Island by members of the Gambino Crime Family.
by Allan May
Organized crime murders are often treated like sports statistics. Mark McGwire hit two home runs last night. Karl Malone dropped in 30 points. Terrell Davis scored three touchdowns. Two Gambino Crime Family members shot dead. Sometimes that's all the information you get. Maybe it's all you want.
Few writers get to tell about mob hits made on members of their own family. One writer who had the opportunity was Detective Louie Eppolito of the New York City Police Department. On the evening of October 1, 1979, the day Pope John Paul II visited the Big Apple, James Eppolito and his son were killed in Coney Island by members of the Gambino Crime Family.
Jerry Capeci, in Murder Machine, detailed the double murder. Jimmy Eppolito was a bookmaker in Nino Gaggi's Bath Beach/Bensonhurst crew. Eppolito, a former capo, had been personally "made" by Carlo Gambino into the crime family that bears his name. Eppolito was once an influential mobster, but under boss Paul Castellano, in the late 1970s, Eppolito's "word and life were not worth as much."
Eppolito's son, Jimmy, Jr., known as Jim-Jim, had recently lost several thousand dollars in a cocaine deal with members of the Roy DeMeo crew. DeMeo, and later Gaggi, accused the younger Eppolito of lying and being a police informant. To save his son, the elder Eppolito went to Castellano to reveal that DeMeo and Gaggi were involved in drug dealing, and sought permission to kill them.
Eppolito's timing was poor. His son had created an awkward situation for the family with his involvement in a children's charity scam that had been supported by, among others, First Lady Rosalynn Carter and Senator Edward Kennedy. When the scam was exposed on "60 Minutes," one of the photographs showed Jimmy Jr. and the wife of the president posing together. Castellano was concerned that President Carter's embarrassment might cause him to seek retaliation on the Gambino Crime Family.
Eppolito had underestimated Gaggi's relationship with Castellano, who sided with Gaggi and told him to resolve the matter in any manner he chose.
Gaggi and DeMeo conned another old-timer, Peter Piacenti, into approaching Eppolito and his son about having a sit down to resolve the problem. Piacenti was one of Eppolito's oldest and closest friends. Eppolito had brought Piacenti into his crew and sponsored him for membership into the Gambino Family. Piacente arranged to accompany the Eppolitos to DeMeo's Gemini Lounge so they would feel at ease. It was Gaggi's plan that, once the Eppolitos were in the lounge, the father and son would be killed and dismembered.
On the evening of October 1, the five men headed toward the lounge in Jim-Jim's 1978 Thunderbird. Gaggi sat in front with Jimmy, Jr. Piacenti sat between DeMeo and the senior Eppolito in back. During the ride, the elder Eppolito must have had a foreboding of what was to come. He told his son to stop the car so he could relieve himself. When Jim Jim urged him to wait until they reached a gas station, Eppolito screamed at his son to pull over.
The younger Eppolito pulled the automobile to a halt on the Shore Parkway near Brighton Sixth Street by a deserted high school playground in Coney Island. As the car came to a stop, Gaggi and DeMeo both pulled guns. Gaggi shot Jim Jim several times in the head. DeMeo leaned forward, reached across Piacenti, and fired into the head of Eppolito, Sr. Both died instantly.
At 4:15 the following morning, Detective Louie Eppolito received a telephone call from his wife. She had just spoken to Louie's aunt who had been notified by the Brooklyn District Attorney's Organized Crime Squad that her husband and son had been murdered. She was trying to find Louie to confirm the news.
Louie Eppolito at the time was the New York City Police Department's eleventh-most-decorated officer. He was twice accepted into the department's Medal of Honor Society. In addition to the numerous awards, commendations, and plaques he had earned, were two Presidential Citations.
Louie Eppolito had been born into a mob family. His grandfather was a friend of Lucky Luciano. His father Ralph a made member of the Gambino Crime Family. Together, Ralph and Jimmy Eppolito had murdered mob turncoat John Robilotto. Louie Eppolito was well aware that at any time he could get a telephone call about his uncle or cousin. He philosophized, "that was the life they chose."
When Detective Eppolito tried to get information about the murders, he hit a brick wall. He went to James Sullivan, Brooklyn's Chief of Detectives. Sullivan called the homicide detectives assigned to the case and they gave Sullivan and Eppolito a rundown of the murders.
Not satisfied with what he heard, Eppolito stormed out of the meeting. Sullivan stopped him and suggested he take some time off. Louie thought about it but decided, "It might be important to see the Pope on such a rotten day." Before joining the rest of the special squad, Louie went to the morgue.
In his book, "Mafia Cop," Detective Eppolito shared his thoughts and feelings about that very real part of a mob murder that seldom gets revealed:
"It was difficult, but I went over to the sheets they had spread over two bodies. I read the two toe tags. The first read 'James Eppolito, Jr.' When I pulled back the sheet, Jim-Jim's head was a mess. It was nothing I hadn't seen before in twelve years on the job. But all that blood, and Jim-Jim's brain blasted away, it really upset me.
"Then I went to the old man. I don't know how I managed to pull his sheet away, but I did. Uncle Jimmy's face was just absolutely destroyed. His jaw and bottom lip were totally gone, torn off, giving him this long, buck-toothed look.
"And he had tattoos – the gunpowder marks that are left when you're shot at close range – all over what was left of his head. I cleaned him as best I could, combing his hair and washing the blood off his face. But water kept pouring out of his eyes, like he was crying."
Detective Eppolito worked the rest of his tour of duty that day, protecting the Pope by running along side his car. You'd hardly expect less of the 11th-most-decorated police officer in New York City.

Voted America's least favorite wireless carrier, AT&T is going to do the official evil deed: end unlimited data tethering on all smartphones that aren't using one of its official tethering plans after August 11.
Back in March, heavy data consuming iPhone AT&T customers were warned with text message alerts that they would have to stop using jailbroken methods for free data on other devices or be forced into an automatic tethering plan upgrade.
That was just for jailbroken iPhone users.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Well, the party's over. The new rule will apply to Android and BlackBerry smartphones using unofficial tethering as well now. Somehow AT&T's managed to identify all the smartphones using unofficial data tethering and will offer three options going forward:
1. Stop tethering and keep the current plan (including grandfathered unlimited plans)
2. Contact AT&T and move to the required tethering plan
3. Do nothing and AT&T will go ahead and add the tethering plan.
AT&T's official statement is that it's killing off the free data piggyback rides to create "fairness for all of our customers." By fair, it means, force users to pay more for less.
Flip AT&T all the birds you want, for as long as you want, but if you don't want to lose your grandfathered unlimited data plan and pay $45 fee for the DataPro 4G tethering plan (2GB of monthly data + 2GB of tethered data), you will have to play by its rules.
My friends, free smartphone hotspotting is dead. Everybody put your frowny faces on.

The key to Rock Band's lasting appeal hasn't been the core games. It's been the ton of downloadable content released for the titles, which just hit a significant sales milestone.
Harmonix's Chris Rigopulos says that, having recently passed a "significant milestone", over 100 million Rock Band songs have been downloaded from the game's online marketplace.
Considering there have only been three full Rock Band games (excluding the band-specific released), 100 million is an amazing number. Just goes to show, when you can hook a fan and keep feeding them content, they'll keep on paying until you run out of things to feed them.

Kristen Stewart Wears a T-Shirt to the Airport | Pictures
Kristen Stewart Parties With Patti Smith As She Finishes NYC Trip
Kristen Stewart Parties With Patti Smith As She Finishes NYC Trip
After a busy week in NYC, Kristen Stewart headed to the airport today to wrap up her trip. Kristen was on the go during her time in the Big Apple, first making an appearance at the 12/12/12 charity concert for Hurricane Sandy relief. Kristen was in town to do press for her new film, On the Road. She made quite the fashion splash when she premiered the movie yesterday while wearing a see-through Erdem minidress.
After the premiere, Kristen headed to the afterparty to hang out with her costars Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund, and rock legend Patti Smith. Patti, who is adapting her bestselling memoir Just Kids for the screen, recently revealed that she would like to cast Kristen and Robert Pattinson to play herself and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the film version of the book. She said, "I remember the very first time I saw Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson together, when they were younger, and I thought, Those two kids could have easily played us when they were first starting."

We'll be bringing you the first live shots of the Scion FR-S, America's version of the Toyota GT 86 at 8pm (PST) tonight, but in the meantime an FT86Club forumite has spotted a lightly disguised version on the road in Orange County. The good news? It looks pretty much identical to the Toyota.
Because nobody that cares about cars cares about Scion, Yankee Toyota is re-badging the GT 86 under that brand. There, you care about a Scion, the Toyatists have won.
The big remaining question was whether or not the re-badging would bring re-styling. In these photos, we see identical head and taillights as well as the front driving lights and grille. If this really is a disguised FR-S and not some GT 86 test mule, then the Scion is going to look exactly like the Toyota with the exception of badging.
Why are we exhausting such a ridiculously anal level of attention on minor styling differences? Well the GT 86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ has us more excited than pretty much almost any car of the last decade. Unlike heavier, more powerful coupes, this 197 HP, 2,689 Lbs 2+2 appears to be the most pure driver's car on sale this side of a Lotus Elise. It should be cheap too; we're hoping for mid-$20s.
Regardless, we'll know about the styling for sure tonight.

Art Nouveau Egyptian Revival 14kt Amber & Opal Necklace
During the 19th century, the discoveries of ancient archaeological finds influenced what is referred to as "archaeological revival jewelry," or "Egyptian revival jewelry." The initial Egyptian Revival period flourished from the 1820s onward, and was inspired by ancient Egyptian imagery, such as the scarab beetle, sphinxes, pharaohs, and hieroglyphics.
An exquisite Egyptian Revival necklace from the Arts Nouveau (ca1900) era! This gorgeous piece is made of 14kt yellow gold and is comprised of beautiful amber and opal cabochons. There are 6 amber stones altogether, each held within an ornate gold bezel setting and all emitting a rich, warm, translucent color with a few flecks of natural inclusions. The smaller opal stones are delicately carved scarab beetles and have a fabulous array of iridescent colors in hues of yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. The center of the piece has a cross-like shape and three links dangle below, each with amber and opal cabochons in differing sizes. The center link connects to two amber cabochons, which attach to a gold box chain which hooks into the top of one amber stones at the front of the piece. The back of the piece is signed "Claxton" and is stamped "S.F. CAL." This outstanding necklace serves as a wonderful example of both the Art Nouveau and Egyptian Revival eras. It has a gorgeous design and drapes beautifully when worn. It would make a very special addition to any jewelry collection!
Measurements: The necklace measures 16" long. The centerpiece hangs 3 3/8" long from top to bottom.
Condition: The overall condition of the necklace is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold or to any of the amber and opal stones, all of which are intact. The clasp fastens securely and is in good working condition.

It's been ages since I busted out a recycling project, and who doesn't love a great idea using Vintage Map/Atlases, not surprisingly I also have a hoard of these kicking about, just can't seem to pass up an old dusty 1970's Atlas, hmmmmm the smell of a dusty old hardback! This week I'll be bringing you projects using old maps/Atlases and shock horror old Geography text books (sorry to my high school Geog teacher Mr Bumchin, I mean Mr Bunting!)
This one is so simple but just in case, here's how to make your own Map Washi Tape.
What you need:
Double Sided Tape
Old Map/Atlas - Use a page with a mix of land mass and sea for colourful tape.
Decide which side of the paper is most attractive, the flip side of mine had text so that was an easy choice.
Lay the double sided tape down horizontally and in a fairly straight line across the map/Atlas page you want to be able to read the places, that's the fun part.
Leave a small gap between each piece of tape to make it easier to cut out.
Marvel at your cute pieces of tape, peel off the back then use them for parcels, sticking down envelopes, or some of the cute projects I have coming up this week...

Electronics industry with increased growth forecast for Germany
The German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI, Frankfurt) has forecast significant increased growth for the German electrical industry. "The electrical industry will continue recovering in 2011, provided that the impact of disasters in Japan and the development in North Africa and the Middle East remain limited on the world economic development" said the president of the ZVEI, Friedhelm Loh.
The electrical production is expected to increase by 10 percent this year. For this reason, the ZVEI has increased its latest forecast by three percent. The industry sales could probably exceed 180 billion euros.
The electrical industry, especially manufacturers of electric motors, generators and transformers, is Dr. Dietrich Müller GmbH´s main customer.
