These guys have been amazing. They quickly transferred over my AbleCommerce store I had been unable to upgrade. From there they pushed through some really complex issues with the store and were able to complete the upgrade! This is all while I was still getting confusing and incomplete support follow up from my previous provider.
Jesse Kinsella, Indiana Candy Store"I can't say enough good things about the support I've received from Drundo. The few support tickets I've submitted have been responded to in less than 15 minutes. The support is very personal and better than any I've received throughout 10 years of design/development work. I'm happy to say that I've finally found a hosting company with which I'm 100% satisfied. Kudos!
Randall Mayot, Freelance Web DesignerI've had extensive experience with at least 3 other "major" hosting companies. None has been able to compete with Drundo reliability, speed, service, and overall development environment. Honestly, I won't let my customers host sites anywhere else. I know I can keep my development time short and sweet with Drundo. And if there's a problem,it's fixed within an hour. Thanks, guys. Can't tell you how much I appreciate you!

A week or so ago, my best friend, Kat, sent me a FB invite to the Minneapolis Trayvon Martin rally, and I immediately accepted – though it meant missing my tai chi class. I really didn't know what to expect as I haven't been to a protest in a long time – and we Minnesotans are all decorous and shit. I highly doubted things would get out of hand, but who knows when tensions are running as high as they are over the Trayvon Martin injustice?
Last night, I put on my hoodie and took pics of me looking suspicious in preparation for the rally. I headed for my best friend's house to hitch a ride with her and her daughter, Kitten, who was attending her first rally/protest. Kitten's eight, and I was worried about how the rally would be for her, but I think it's important to get kids involved in social justice issues at a young age.

Where did those last two pictures of the octopus and crab come from? I'd love a desktop-sized copy
- Tom said...
Those trucks are of a photoshop contest, they're not real. You can also tell by the fact that it's the same picture for both trucks.

that picture of the octopus is just Grosssss !!! ewwwww !!! i would be getting out of that place PRetty darn fast !!!!
- darin said...
are you sure that A and B are the same colour I see they have different color!
- said...
I would think that since we see & perceive A & B as differnt colors then logically they are different colors. If you open the picture in Photoshop and measure the color values the later may be true but i still think that certainly in this case seeing is believing. Thats just my personal opinion & observation.
Btw, Excellent Web-Site & Thank You for posting all this wonderful stuff...

I believe the lyrics were written by Jaejoong (correct me if i'm wrong) so the song is basically him telling a story about how he dated this woman and she basically cheated on him. The MV had to portray all 3 members catching their girl cheating. The lyrics are meant for 1 guy catching 1 girl cheating in the relationship but the MV had to include 3 so that's why it flashes frequently from Yoochun to Jaejoong in the beginning as they're singing in their cars. The phone call is when they find her cheating with another man. He calls to see if she has anything to say but she lies right to his face and most likely says "I love you" so that's why Yoochun says "Gurae, nado saranghae (Right, I love you too)" as the first line of the song. The rest of the mv is about how JYJ wants that girl to 'Get Out' (assuming) of their lives. The girl later then realizes the guy she was secretly seeing isn't a good guy (you see the unknown female/male actor having a small physical argument) and then in the end of the mv the girl looks longingly at JYJ's shadows as if she wants them back but they've moved on already. This is my interpretation of the mv

Last Sunday's coastal storm and its resulting hangover of cool weather in our region resulted in eight straight below average days through yesterday, which is the longest stretch of below average temperatures we've seen since the end of October. This stretch of March-like cool has about one more day in it before we have a quick rebound in weather as the pattern shifts, rather markedly, Monday night.
A warm front will lift through the region on Monday night, spreading some showers and storms through the region as it passes through. The forecast for Tuesday features optimistic highs in the upper half of the 70s based on an early departure of rainfall and the return of sunshine. That said, if clouds linger and the warm front doesn't push north far enough, temperatures will end up a good bit cooler. Tuesday arguably shapes up as the toughest day to forecast from a temperature standpoint.
The rest of the week has its own share of issues from the standpoint of predicting showers and thunderstorms but with a warmer airmass in place temperatures will be much more typical of late Spring than what we saw last week. We take temperatures down a tiny bit on Wednesday with some oceanic influence in the airmass but then warm it back up on Thursday and Friday. Highs in the lower and even middle 80's look likely for both days as we get into a ridge of high pressure aloft in the atmosphere. With a warmer and more unstable airmass in place we could see some scattered storms around from time to time—best chances of these would be in the afternoon hours should they occur.
A weak front moves into and stalls nearby for the weekend, again with a chance of thunder at times this weekend. Not all of this timeframe will feature thunderstorm activity but there will be a few chances of showers and storms here and there over the course of the next week.

This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.
– Elizabeth GilbertIf your heart is broken, I salute you! It means you were brave enough to put your heart on the line and care with all of your being, and that is more than a lot of people are willing or able to do. Being broken-hearted also means that, even though you may not be where you want to be YET, you are capable of getting there. Indeed, you are even now on your way to a higher level of experience, for you're learning all the time how to do this crazy love thing better than you ever have before. Broken hearts are like all goodbyes; though painful, they always mean a new hello is on its way. The key is to accept that the more willing we are to experience heartbreak, the more open we are to experiencing its opposite: big, juicy, delicious and fulfilling LOVE. If your heart is broken, I encourage you to celebrate, for it means that you're on your way to greater love than you've ever known before. – Julia Melges-Brenner, editor of Kajama
- Kajama Digest for the Week of May 20, 2013 Change will be the theme this week as the Sun joins Venus and Mercury in the effervescent sign of Gemini. The sign of the twins loves variety, exploring and adventure, so we'll all feel the urge to get out and see new places and meet new people. Thanks to the duality of this sign and the Moon's travels through Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius, maintaining our balance will be much easier than we expect. A rare lunar eclipse will occur on Saturday with the dawning of the Sagittarius full Moon. Lunar eclipses usually come in pairs, but because of May's planetary alignment, a third or penumbral eclipse will happen this month. This will drive home the fact that to advance in any matter, we must get off the merry-go-round we've been riding and reach for the brass ring of the future. Inspiring as these lunations may feel, we'll have to be mindful of tending to our responsibilities and restoring order over the weekend so we are well-prepared to take action on our dreams next week!To find out how all of these aspects will influence your own sun sign, check out your astrological options below:

Choosing Love Over Fear
by Renée Peterson Trudeau"Who wouldn't want to choose love over fear? We prefer to expand and open rather than contracting, shutting ourselves off from one another and from feeling good. Learning to do so, however, involves cultivating awareness and consciously choosing to come from love moment to moment. This takes time, and for most of us, lots of practice."
Nature: A Doorway to God
by Renée Peterson Trudeau"Several years ago, I spent a summer interviewing men and women on how and when they connect to God or the sacred. Number one on the list for 90 percent of them was spending time in nature. Nature is an incredible source of spiritual, as well as physical, mental, and emotional, renewal and connection."
Choosing Happiness
by Renée Peterson Trudeau"We all want to be happy, but where does happiness come from? To be happy, do we need things to be perfect, so that the feeling flutters down upon us like a butterfly on a sun-drenched, perfect-temperature, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky day? Or can we learn to be happy despite our imperfections and old wounds?"

This is my first time writing an on-topic post here, so please be nice. :)Some time ago, I finished Otherland. Of course, I enjoyed it immensely. One thing that I was most impressed by was the reality of the future Tad envisioned. It was in the near enough future to reasonably extrapolate things, and I think Otherland presented a realistic picture - frightening so, at times.However, I felt that the effects of ubiquitous VR technology were... understated. Oh, there is no doubt that it pervaded Otherland's society. But I don't think the changes it brought were radical enough.In specific, almost all of the "changes" brought about by VR were visual extensions of current changes brought about the internet. Virtual offices, RPGs, Treehouse, online classes, shopping - it all had analogues to current day Internet ideas. VR didn't change anything, it just made the experience of being online become more all-encompassing. Even the Inner City (reminiscent of Stephenson's "Street") was just a gathering of the richest people in the world, a forum to show off one's electronic identity. Yet forums like this (or chat rooms) effectively contain the richest people in the world - those with access to computers and internet connections (granted, the group is less exclusive than that in the Inner City now, but it used to be), and they are dens of avatars, sigs, etc. Before connectivity was universal, Usenet was a network of hackers and geeks, reminiscent of Treehouse.What I thought would happen if VR technology showed up today is a fundamental paradigm shift. When Usenet and various research networks grew up into the Internet, and it became possible for mainstream users to go online with new PCs, the ways in which our world functioned changes fundamentally. Eventually, ubiquitous connectivity (as seen in some countries already today) has changed everything - the way our economy works, business models, advertising, dating, etc. It has made whole worldwide communities spring up where none existed before. Information (whether it is useful or not) is at everyone's fingertips. Effectively, the past decade of technological innovation has revolutionized our world.And yet, while I expected this of the VR technology as shown in Otherland, I found a more conservative estimate, where Internet paradigms were just "ported" to VR, if you'll pardon the term. I suppose that the Otherland network itself was the first major change brought by VR, and that only came decades after VR was introduced.So I'm curious - did anyone else think similarly? Am I completely off base? Are there more subtle changes I'm missing? I'm curious why you chose this particular world view, Tad (if you have a chance to respond). I'm not saying it's bad - I found it all too realistic. But what drove your decision about how VR technology was implemented and changed human interactions? Did you intentionally draws the parallels between VR and Internet concepts?*stops rambling*Just some ideas. :)Ender
Don't forget, people don't like change. Sure internet got used a lot and changed some things, but mostly it built on things that were already there and made those things more global and faster.Yalahii.
Part of the seeming disparity you notice was a conscious choice -- I wanted the Otherland network to be REALLY different from what the characters were used to experiencing.Thus, I pushed the VR technology forward a bit beyond what would be reasonable while keeping the rest of the technology suppressed a bit.Once I did that, though, I tried to keep everything fairly honest and sensible, given the starting points.I guess what I really wanted to write about (as is often true with us SF folk) was now, but with cooler toys.That's the short answer. There could be a much longer one, but not at this time of the night after the weekend I'm having...

I agree. I think all the hype about how the internet changed society is nonsense. It merely made a lot of offline technologies drastically more efficient, and gave them broader scope.Point to one internet application that didn't already exist in some form offline.Dating? Ever browsed the personals in your local paper?Email? The "letter" has been around for millennia.BBSs? Why do you think it's called a "bulletin board" system?Chat rooms? Party lines.And on, and on, and on.As for our economy changing... Uh... Have you looked at the stock market lately? The creation of the internet did not change the rules of economics. The "New Economy" was a figment of irrationally exuberant minds.[ June 15, 2003: Message edited by: Auros ]
True, google = libraries, amazon = mail order book clubs, online gaming = teleconfrencing paper and pencil rpgs (well maybe not).But I think it does raise a valid point that the net overall doesn't play as major a part in society as it does in say, Neuromancer etc. Even with keeping it simpler than Otherland could have had more sociological impacts, but i kind of liked the realism of it. As fancy as the net gets, you still need to eat, drive, have medical treatment, produce and maintain above, etc etc in RL.Another thing to keep in mind is that in 50 years the net will be blase to most. The internet is still rather "new and exciting" and people are endlessly speculating on paradigm shifts etc. Did the telephone change society and the way it functioned? Yes. Is society still recognizably similar before and after? Yes. While the net alters things more, i think it'll kind of hold true that "the more things change, the more they stay the same."

Do you see yourself as "SF" or "Fantasy"... does it depend on the book or do you not really make a distincion? You are definately getting more SF than you used to be, but most would prob still peg you Fantasy.Not huge, but i kinda did a double take seeing you refer to yourself as one of the SF folk. :)
Hrm. Thanks for the responses, everyone. Perhaps I should explain why I feel that the Internet gave such a paradigm shift in human interaction. I know that it's a bit of a cliche, but I like to flatter myself that my reasoning is different than your average pundit's. :pIt is true that most current Internet activities are just common ones taken to a different level. Yet there has been a fundamental shift in the way things function.For centuries, if you wanted information, you either asked someone or read a book. Now, you Google for it - I certainly haven't ever picked up an encyclopedia unless an Internet connection isn't available, not to mention a dictionary. And it's not just the method that changed - the information has changed as well. I can get dozens of different sources, all contradictory, all of different media. And there is the "chaff" of information that I'd have to wade through to get to the real stuff.But it's not just that. The impact can be seen on dozens of communities - book fans, hackers, anime freaks, etc - any fringe group that likely couldn't get a "critical mass" in RL to create a community. Yet the Internet has made it possible to do so. Just look at the hacker community - beforehand, just a few small groups of computer geeks, not coordinated at all. Now, the combined force of geeks online has spawned Linux, the entire Open Source revolution, and plenty of other side effects.I've heard from lots of people bemoaning the ubiquitous use of email in the place of personal correspondence of a more traditional form. While I disagree that this is leading to the end of society, :) it is true that email has changed the way we communicate with others. I rarely actually speak with people, unless I'm physically with them. All of my other communication is done asynchronously, often in short, cryptic comments (the "short" isn't so true of me, as you can tell from my posts....). This is fundamentally different than writing a letter - return time is faster, and it takes far less effort to write an email (and certainly less cost).Economically, firms that previously relied on the strength of their product and sound advertising now find it absolutely imperative to have a strong, easily accessible web presence (I don't know how many of you have left a firm's site due to navigation problems, and moved to a competitor, but I certainly have). The concept of a "store" is becoming increasingly meaningless for some types of products (for example, computers, software, etc).The examples go on. Chat and IMming have made the next generation of people adept at multitasking, carrying on dozens of simultaneous, threaded conversations at once, while also partitioning organizational space for other activities both on (other windows) and off the computer (eating, reading, etc).I'll freely admit that most of these applications existed in different forms previously. But the method they are implemented has changed the way things work fundamentally. And I just didn't feel that the VR Tad implemented had the same far-reaching effects.Of course, your explanation makes perfect sense, Tad. In order to draw the sharp difference, you intentionally did it that way... hmm. Smart. :)Hmm... on sort of a tangent, how consciously do you plan out the technology/magic of a world? Is it an integral part of your basis, or do you mold it to fit your plot and characters as you go along?I understand you're a bit busy - it sounds hectic at your house (at least from the DogBlog, that is). Don't bother responding if you don't have time - I'm patient. :)Ender[ June 15, 2003: Message edited by: wiggin ]
I'm too tired to write anything intelligent now. Somebody remind me to come back to this topic tomorrow.(Yawn...)Yep. Definitely too tired.
I think your reasoning is pretty dead on on the impacts of social interaction. But when one isn't at home, the world isn't significantly changed pre-internet. Kids at school, people at work, etc still act fairly similar to pre-net times, and differences have to do with many non-net factors. For all the mass IMing that goes on at college dorms, the parties and the beer are in RL, and unless you can afford a really good set in Otherland they would be as well. :)Now in Otherland everybody pretty much had a set at home, whether it was crap or not, it was there. The big difference would probably come through Pad usage, which we really don't see that much of. The only extended *outdoor* traipsing in RL is done by Olga, who has a pad but doesn't need to talk to anyone, and the rest is pretty much in South Africa, which doesn't have widespread cutting edge tech.Neuroanula's i think would REALLY change society, but at the point they are introduced in the story they are still pretty new and pretty expensive. I don't know if this was intentional, but the paradigm shift of having full wrap around VR anytime, anywhere hasn't arrived. Either it is like a great videoconfrencing laptop or a complicated system at the Poly for the true immersive stuff.Hope this makes sense, its late on my side as well.
*very light Otherland spoilers perhaps*Geh got out of bed turned on comp to get out this thought that struck me... you never really get a feel for the "average person on the street."They are either on the run or extremely wealthy. The only real jobs shown in any description are renie working (for a bit) and olga in janitorial. The rest are either high management/elite, indpendent contractors (dread, ramsey), or just glossed over. The only real stores ever described are those online, we pretty much get a shopping list or description of events inside. I've never really thought about it, but the RL Tad shows tend to be very isolated, like little islands, we never really see real society. Olga is a recluse, dread is underground, ramsey runs around like a bumblebee, renie is on the run, orlando is bedbound, felix is well, etc etc. Orlando and Sellars are the only ones able to blur RL and VR that we see, the rest have a definate distinction.I guess this is either a lack of interest in developing sociological changes due to tech, a realization that it wouldn't really affect the plot much, and/or a kinda goblin hole thing allowing the readers to fill in what they want. I always saw it as "very present day with toys" but others could have possibly filled in the blanks more futuristically.Hope this was worth getting up for and makes sense and all.

*bumps* the thread into Tad's leg.Oh? Did that startle you? :)BTW, I also just finished MS&T. So I don't clog anywhere else up with it, I'll just say that I immensely enjoyed it, especially the last 150 pages of TGAT. *salutes the Dogly One*Ender

Another snowstorm is headed our way Tuesday and could bring a mixture of freezing rain, sleet and snow.
The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous winter outlook for much of the Chicago suburbs and predicts between three to five inches of new snow accumulation in Skokie.
"Heavy snow and strong east-northeast winds gusting to 40 miles per hour, especially on the lakefront, will reduce visibility and make travel hazardous," National Weather Service officials said in their winter weather message Sunday night.
The snow is expected to fall Tuesday morning after 10 a.m.
Snow and scattered flurries are expected for the remainder of the week with temperatures hovering around mid-30s during the day.
February to date has been very snowy despite a fairly snow-free winter in Chicago, the area has received about 10 inches of snow so far, accounting for nearly 75 percent of this winter's total snowfall of 13.6 inches, Chicago Weather Center reported.

| Need help getting to CSW.
Help me get to CSW! Give my story a short read, and let me prove to you why I am worthy of attending, why I can make your experience better at CSW, and why I need support. If nothing, if you can even provide some creative ideas to finance this, that would be of great value also (yes I've read the free bonus on making a conference pay for itself and have already acted on it). I'm 22 years old, been a Steve Pavlina implementer since I was 15 (ever since I read the series on waking up early). I have been member number 3 on the forums. I graduated less than a year ago with a business degree, and after having done work that I hate, I finally left the company! Today! Every single day for the last one month, I have been working consciously to create an abundance heartset, and Steve wasn't kidding when he said you will require a lot of courage to act and disconnect from your old reality. I took the plunge and I am glad for it. It took a lot of honest self-reflection to take this big move where there was a lot of promise for a lot of great pay in the future. Other little things like giving up TV were trivial compared to this. I am working hard to set up my own business that imports organic and non-toxic clay non-stick pans for the North American market that supports poor artisans in India. I won't be able to sell it for the 2011 Christmas season unfortunately. I have been a lifelong lacto-vegetarian, turning vegan thanks to the content I have read her, I have done sketch comedy throughout high school and university, done photography, helped organize conferences, and been a mentor to high school kids and university students to aim higher and pursue their success consciously. I also meditate every day. From being an immigrant to Canada that was painfully shy to do anything, to someone that is trying to seize everything life has to offer...that has been my story. I am not saying this to brag, but to let you know that I am not going to be a passive attendee at CSW, but an active participant! Now, more than ever, I need the company of conscious people, and massive support and insights that I know a conference like CSW will deliver. I am willing to bring my full self to the event, but I need your financial help. Here is the total cost I am dealing with right now: $597 US: Conference cost. Stupid me, I should've done this last month! $650 US: Accommodations. I would like to be there from Thursday morning - Monday morning. See here. $466 CDN: Airplane trip as seen here with taxes. $150 CDN: Misc. Expenses =$1906 CDN or $1844 US. That's a mighty number to tackle at this point in my life. I am in a place right now where I can cover the cost of the flight (which should stay at around the same place given that Christmas season will be over by then). That leaves $1440 CDN or USD$1393. I need your help to help me get there with the rest of it. I am reaching out to my friends and family, but they are rather shocked by all these sudden decisions already. My goal is to get registered by January 1st. If I have not accumulated enough funds by then, I promise to return every single penny back to the people that have given me the money. I also promise to return all the money back as soon as I turn a profit that can cover these payments back to you guys. And for those that support me that are not able to make it to CSW themselves, I will provide an extremely detailed set of notes from the conference. If there is some other value that I can offer, please do let me know. If you can, I would appreciate it if you could help me out. Here's the link. I know that Steve does not provide any scholarships anymore, which is fine. If you folks can't support me financially, can you help me by thinking of alternate ways I can cover the cost of this? |

The newest development version of argus-clients is on the server. This version provides fixes for IPv6 netflow V9 IPv6 support, has more updates for color ratop(), has new parsing engines for rapolicy() to support more ACL strategies, and fixes a number of bugs related to labels. Now all ra* clients can read netflow v1-9, and convert them to argus 3.0 records. The netflow v9 support is still in testing. So please download argus-clients-184.108.40.206 and give it a try. As always, if you do run into problems, please don't hesitate to send a note to the argus developers mailing list.
The current set of stable source code can be grabbed from these links:
We presented to the Stanford SDN testbed team last week (Jan 24th), at Stanford University. We had a great set of meetings regarding control plane / data plane monitoring in high performance SDNs and Clouds, and look forward to working with the testbed in 2013.
Argus-3.0.6 is now being used to drive some really great network visualizations for GLORIAD, the advanced science interent network that connects US, Russia, China, Korea, Canada, The Netherlands, India, Egypt, Singapore and Nordic scientists with Advanced Cyberinfrastructure. Checkout the various visualizations, including GLORIAD Earth.
Welcome to Argus, the network Audit Record Generation and Utilization System. The Argus Project is focused on developing network activity audit strategies and prototype technology to support Network Operations, Performance and Security Management. If you look at packets to solve problems, or you need to know what is going on in your network, right now or way back then, you should find Argus a useful tool.
The Argus sensor processes packets (either capture files or live packet data) and generates detailed status reports of the 'flows' that it detects in the packet stream. The flow reports that Argus generates capture much of the semantics of every flow, but with a great deal of data reduction, so you can store, process, inspect or analyze large amounts of network data in a short period of time. Argus provides reachability, availability, connectivity, duration, rate, load, good-put, loss, jitter, retransmission, and delay metrics for all network flows, and captures most attributes that are available from the packet contents, such as L2 addresses, tunnel identifiers (MPLS, GRE, ESP, etc...), protocol ids, SAP's, hop-count, options, L4 transport identification (RTP, RTCP detection), host flow control indications, etc...
Argus is used by many sites to establish network activity audits, which are then used to supplement traditional IDS based network security. These sites use contemporary IDS technology like snort and/or Bro to generate events and alarms, and then use the Argus network audit data to provide context for those alarms to decide if the alarms are real problems. In many DIY efforts, snort, Bro and argus run on the same high performance device. The audit data that Argus generates is great for network forensics, non-repudiation, network asset and service inventory, behavioral baselining of server and client relationships, detecting very slow scans, and supporting Zero day events. The network transaction audit data that Argus generates has also been used for a wide range of other tasks including Network Billing and Accounting, Operations Management and Performance Analysis.
Argus can be considered an implementation of the architecture described in the IETF IPFIX Working Group. Argus pre-dates IPFIX, and the project has actively contributed to the IPFIX effort, however, Argus technology should be considered a superset of the IPFIX architecture, providing "proof of concept" implementations for most aspects of the IPFIX applicability statement. Argus technology can read and process Cisco Netflow data, and many sites develop audits using a mixture of Argus and Netflow records.
Argus is an Open Source project and currently runs on Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, AIX, IRIX, Windows (under Cygwin) and OpenWrt. The software should be portable to many other versions of Unix with little modification. Performance is such that auditing an entire enterprise's Internet activity can be accomplished using modest computing resources.

Most babies are born with some type of discoloration on their skin - the majority of these disappear on their own in the months after birth, though occasionally, they increase in size before disappearing.
Birthmarks are those marks on the skin that are permanent and will never disappear. While birthmarks don't cause any discomfort to the barer, they can be upsetting for new parents when they are large or in a prominent area such as the face. Experts still don't know why some babies develop birthmarks.
Types of marks on your baby's skin
The most common types of marks are:
Stork marks.
Technically known as vascular ecstasia, but more commonly also known as stork bites, these little pink patches of skin are usually found on the forehead, eyelids, nose, top lip, on the bridge of the nose and the nape of the neck. Stork marks appear on approximately 50% of newborns and will fade or disappear completely over time - although these marks do sometimes become more visible when the barer is crying or distressed. -
Strawberry marks.
These are also known as haemangioma and are caused by an overgrowth of tiny blood capillaries. A common skin mark, these bright red or purple patches are raised soft swellings that very often grow before eventually shrinking and disappearing altogether. Some strawberry marks continue to grow until your baby is about nine months old but it is not unusual for a child over 2 years to have a strawberry mark. It is generally not recommended that any treatment be given to remove these mark as they do tend to disappear on their own and most treatments lead to some form of scarring. -
Spider marks.
These are medically known as spider naevi, and are a collection of small broken blood capillaries that are visible just under your baby's fine skin. The medical term for them is 'spider naevi'. Most disappear in the first two years of life. -
Mongolian spots.
This term describes a patch of bluish skin - it almost looking like a bruise - that commonly appears across the lower back and buttocks of babies with darker skin. The mark is the result of an accumulation of pigment under the skin. These marks are often present at birth but may appear in the hours or days after birth. Completely harmless, mongolian spots usually fade away within the first 3 years of life. -
This term most commonly describes the variety of brown marks on the skin. Most usual are the flat, pale coffee-coloured birthmarks that grow as your child grows without ever becoming darker; or moles, a dark brown, slightly raised area on the skin. -
Port wine marks.
Often referred to as port wine stains, these bright red or purple birthmarks are caused by dilated capilleries in the skin. Port wine marks are permanent and will not fade. They are more commonly found on the neck and face and some may be removed by laser treatment when your child is older.

East County parents will have a chance to meet and question the three finalists for the principal position at Lakewood Ranch High School at a community forum at 6:30 p.m., tonight at Lakewood Ranch High School, 5500 Lakewood Ranch Blvd.
Two local assistant principals — Linda Nesselhauf of Manatee High and Don Sauer of Lakewood Ranch — and one out-of-state contender, Melanie Metz of Buffalo, N.Y., are vying for the position.
"It's a good chance for people to meet the candidates and ask questions and find out more about them," Manatee County School District spokesperson Mike Barber said of the forum.
After the forum, parents will be able to provide feedback to the school district about candidates, and Superintendent Tim McGonegal will use the information in making his final recommendation for the post. McGonegal is expected to conduct his own interview with candidates next week.

View: Jamie Eldridge, Dean Cavaretta Debate
Watch the livestreamed Patch and ActonTV debate between state senate candidates Jamie Eldridge and Dean Cavaretta.
Charlie Kadlec
6:41 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
One of the questions to the candidates was about their postions on the unfunded liability known as OPEB ("Other Post-Employment Benefits"), which has been recognized for several years as a major financial problem for the Commonwealth as well as for the towns. Senator Jamie Eldridge answered that government employees contributed to their pensions, that this is a commitment that must be honored, and (predictably) suggested "closing loopholes", aka raising taxes, to pay for it. However, OPEB has nothing to do with pensions. Senator Eldridge should know that.
Dean Cavaretta did not mention pensions but it was not clear from his answer that he has a better understanding of the OPEB liability than Jamie.
Homework assignment for both candidates : learn what OPEB is about. It is a problem that will require very difficult decisions, not glib political rhetoric.

Charlie: If Im not mistaken it is the other giant
Unfunded pension liability for MA public entities different than the MA 18B in future obligations.
I support reforms like raising retirement age for NEW state hires entering. My opponent VOTED NO

Dean, I am sorry but I do not understand your comment.

OPEB refers to the future healthcare costs of retirees, whether they are currently retired or will retire in the future.

I'm turning 18 tomorrow. I've been waiting for this for a very long time, I really just want to get a tattoo. I want it to be about atheism because it's one of the few things in my life that I know wont change. I'm really starting with nothing here, I have nothing particular in mind, so I'm open to all suggestions. I don't even know if I'm getting a quote, artwork, or otherwise. I'd also like to see others atheist tattoos if you have any.
That picture is of an amazing tattoo, but I think its a bit much for me, especially for my first tattoo.
"MAKE SURE the tattoo artist is A #1. That will mean paying more but you'll be happier"
Be sure, with any artist that you consider, to take a good look at his/her portfolio. There's a guy in my hometown who's been in the business since the 80's. He has a long waiting period and his prices are not cheap, but his work is absolutely astounding and well worth the wait and money. I live 4 hours from there now, but I refuse to go to any local shops here. I will always go to him.
As for tattoo ideas, I would probably get a quote or something, just because that's my personal style (my next tattoo is actually sheet music with lyrics). One really good Atheist quote that I like is this:
"That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence." - Christopher Hitchens
Sadly, TattooFinder returns 0 results for "atheist" yet has entire categories for "religious" and "praying hands" and so forth. :( Makes me a little ill, especially after their having been a source for the designs of my gay-themed tattoos.
No, do not do it. Your body is not a billboard, if you are going to stain yourself it should be with something hand drawn, unique and in a coverable spot. Do you really want to debate and explain your tat. for the rest of your life?
Yes, I do.
Before I say anything, please don't think that I'm trying to be rude. It is her choice to do with her body whatever her heart desires. Also, I can't really help but take your 'billboard' and 'stain' comments as slightly insulting. Typically, when a person desires to have a tattoo done, it has personal meaning to it that applies only to the person getting the tattoo. Something they feel very passionate about or a heart-felt memory, such as a memorial to a special person.
If it's personal, then put it where the general public don't see it. If you put it where it can't be ignored, isn't it kind of like getting on a bus with blaring boombox?
I feel like I should be able to display my beliefs on my body wherever I'd like. Just like Christians and others can put their crosses, stars of David, and other religious symbols on their body in plain sight without being criticized or ridiculed. I am not going to let them win and make me feel like I have to "hide" my atheism just because they don't agree with it or they aren't comfortable with it.
I do feel the same way about Christian paraphernalia and declarations like tattoos, but as with tattoos, they are free to put them in my face. We live in a free country,
I found some of the things he said insulting as well. It's okay though, I understand that some people just don't like or agree with getting tattoos, and that's okay... It's not like I'm getting the tattoo to impress them or anything.
If being an atheist is such a major part of who you are then go for it. I think that any written message tattoo no matter how clever will get played out in time. If you don't want to hear don't don't ask "do or don't". Where you take insult is beyond me.
I do feel it's a big part of my life. I understand that was just your opinion, and that's what I was asking for, so really, I shouldn't be insulted, so I take back what I said. My apologies (:

Abs Handles And Guards Course With Joe Keeslar at Texarkana College, Washington, Arkansas
Posted 22 November 2010 - 06:32 PM
Before the course I emailed Mr. Keeslar and he said to bring one full tang knife blade and one narrow tang knife blade completely finished except for the handles. The completed part is important unless you want to miss out on valuable learning time finishing blades. He also said to bring any materials that I would like to bring if I had anything specific in mind. Although, they provide materials for the knives.
The first thing that we went over in the class was full tang knife construction. The demonstration knife was one of Joe Keeslar's Brute De Forge knives. His methods involve no glue and a lot of peening.
I enjoyed doing things a bit differently that I normally do so it was fun. For my full tang knife I made a chopper with a 10'' blade and 15'' overall so I can practice cutting things. It ended up with bolsters (which were covered in the class) and curly maple handles.
Next we covered silver wire inlay. Which I of course wanted to learn so I decided to put some on my chopper. I went with the demonstration pattern Joe used as it gave me the chance to use pins and have lines crossing over each other etc.
After covering the finishing of a maple handle we moved on to the narrow tangs. Mr. Keeslar favors soldered guards so that is how we did it. I would suspect that if you took the class from someone who presses their guards that would be what you would learn. Here is Joe Keeslar soldering a guard:
Other topics that were covered included: Pin usage in keeping spacers lined up with handles, filework, laying out a leather sheath, butt cap construction, and by popular request the forging of a Brute De Forge knife:
By the way, the man swings a BIG hammer!
Overall I really enjoyed the course. You really had to move to try and get close to finishing two knives in the five days. But, a lot of learning was done. I didn't get any pictures of the second knife which is about 3/4 of the way finished. And, I still need to make some pictures of the nearly complete chopper now that it has wire inlay and has been stained.

This is the bunkhouse that you can stay at in Old Washington. (Not the huge historic bunkhouse.) It is a bit longer than the picture suggests and the side of the building faces the road. It is located on the main highway that runs through Washington kind of across the street from the visitors center and offices.

Joe is a super nice guy. A fantastic teacher too. You were lucky to have him as your instructor.

What is the major impact on your work that this class made or will make?
It is hard to say at this point. However, figuring out assembly pin usage would probably be the biggest thing. Mainly because it will allow for a bit more complexity in handle construction. I will also be playing around with the silver wire inlay as it was quite enjoyable. Plus, many of the little tips and tricks will make life a bit easier.
Posted 24 November 2010 - 10:57 AM
Here is a quick picture of the first of the two knives to be finished. I made it to be competition cutter sized (10'' blade 15'' overall) so that I could practice cutting things. I also gave it a scotch-bright belt finish so I can clean it up quickly after the hard use I plan on giving it.

I agree wholeheartedly! Life would be really boring for me if I couldn't keep busy learning something new. I just built a bowling ball vise so that I can attempt some wire inlay myself. I just have 3 projects that need to be finished before I can start. Now I understand why a lot of makers don't take orders... It's nice to have the security of orders but it can be restrictive at the same time, especially when your time in the shop is limited.
Nice thread! Thanks for posting your experiences and the pic's!

text: As we go along in life, I sometimes wonder if we really take our health seriously. What I mean is: Do you get your blood pressure readings on a regular basis? If you don't know already, your blood pressure readings should be 120/90. The 120 is your systolic reading and the 90 represents your diastolic reading. These readings (120/90) represent a normal blood pressure reading. Anything numbers higher on either side of it, is not good. If you go above 120 on the systolic pressure or above 90 on the diastolic pressure, you are reaching Pre-hypertension or even higher levels like Stage 1, 2 or 3 Hypertension.

BILLERICA -- The fire that displaced a Woodside Road family on Wednesday could have been a lot worse.
According to Deputy Fire Chief Bob Cole, there were no injuries and firefighters caught it early enough to make sure flames were confined to only a second-floor bedroom.
Deputy Fire Chief Tom Ferraro said Thursday that investigators are still trying to determine what started the blaze.
As for the displaced family, they've been on the receiving end of a helping hand from the American Red Cross.
The fire, smoke and water damage at the two-story home at 19 Woodside Road wound up not destroying the family's clothes, according to American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts spokesman Jillian Fennimore.
She added in an email Thursday that volunteers helped the four adults and three children who lived there with a hotel stay, emergency money for food and even Mickey Mouse dolls for comfort.
Fennimore said she is not identifying the family, but added that four dogs and a cat were also saved from the blaze. Fire officials as of Thursday also did not release the names of the displaced family members.
Cole said Wednesday the first call to the department was made around 8:15 a.m. A short while later the fire was knocked down.
Firefighters were later seen tossing the soggy remains of a charred mattress out of the home's open second-floor window.
"The guys made a pretty good stop," he said.
