- How far can Wireless Cameras Transmit?
Wireless Cameras come all shapes and sizes and are capable of transmitting to different distances. The transmission range of a Wireless Camera is usually rated by use the Line-of-Sight (LOS). Standard Wireless Video Cameras have a range of about 700 feet LOS. The signal can be transmitted through most solid objects including glass, plastic, wood, fiberglass, and some metals, but the signal is attenuated. So the actual transmission range depends on the number and type of objects you are transmitting through, such as brick walls, concrete walls, trees, etc. An ordinary 700 ft. LOS Covert Camera can typically transmit signal through about 6 interior walls with ranges up to 300 feet and is designed to work comfortably in a building up to 6,000 square foot (home or office).
- Do I need an Auto or Manual Iris Lens?
For outdoor cameras, auto lenses are needed for lighting change.
For indoor cameras, manual lenses are sufficient to handle a more stable lighting condition.
- What is BLC "BackLight Compensation"?
Many cameras included a BLC circuit. This circuit is used to help correct an image with more light behind the subject being viewed. Without backlight compensation, the subject appears dark with little detail. Using backlight compensation will reduce the brightness of the light to allow the subject to appear brighter and bring out the details.

Options for paid time off
By Yosie Saint-Cyr, LL.B., Managing Editor, in collaboration with Nancy Currie, assistant editor at HRinfodesk.com---Canadian Payroll and Employment Law News, March/April 2007
It appears that employers are favouring paid time off in lieu of overtime pay as the best option for time off with pay and flexible work practices. According to the latest HRinfodesk Poll that asked our subscribers what options their employees had for paid time off, 67.27percent of respondents allowed employees to bank overtime hours. In 1998 an HRSDC study (1) indicated that, in spite of recognizing the value of alternative treatment of overtime, only 39 percent of employers provided their workers with access to time off in lieu of overtime, and this was not accessible to all workers (only 20 percent of workers reported they could take time off in lieu of overtime). Generally, the 1998 surveys indicated that Canadian employers have only limited interest in flexible work practices. How times have changed.
Results from the March 19th Paid Time Off Poll:
Total Responses: 110
Banked overtime
Sick days
Personal days
Paid time off credits (PTO)
No policy
Banked overtime
Time Banks (banking time) is an option that allows employees to work extra hours and receive paid time off later by extending their holidays at Christmas or on New Year's Day, taking longer vacation days, taking personal days off or an extended leave of absence, or supplementing short-term leave for illnesses instead of receiving overtime pay. Banked hours programs track accumulated prepaid or unpaid hours owed to employees, including overtime hours. However, allowing employees to bank time is governed under employment/labour standards which varies between jurisdictions.
Generally, if an employee takes a paid leave in accordance with a time bank policy, each day of leave is drawn as one day from the time bank, and the employee is paid for that day at his or her current salary or regular wage. To comply with employment/labour standards provisions, if the extra time worked is greater than the allowable maximum weekly working hours, the employer has to pay overtime rates (usually time and a half) for banked hours. This occurs unless the employer has an overtime averaging agreement with the employee, or an averaging permit with the Director of Employment Standards (depending on the jurisdiction).
An averaging overtime agreement or permit allows the employer to either limit overtime pay by averaging hours of time off instead of overtime pay, or by averaging an employee's hours of work over a period of time. Generally, this takes a number of weeks to determine the employee's entitlement, if any, to overtime pay. For example, in Ontario, an employer can agree with his or her employee to average overtime hours over a maximum period of four weeks and/or compensate the employee for overtime hours by giving the employee one and one half hours of paid time off for each hour of overtime worked. Employers must consult the employment standards legislation of their province or territory for applicable provisions.
HRinfodesk provides the legislated provisions for banking overtime by jurisdiction. To find the information, go to the Library section on HRinfodesk.com; click on the jurisdiction of your choice; choose Pay and Working Conditions; and then click on the Hours of Work and Overtime subheading.
Employers who would like to offer this option to employees will need to first establish a Time Bank Policy indicating all essential legal and policy elements such as:
A tool to create a Time Bank policy and agreements is available in the Human Resources PolicyPro, Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta Editions.
Sick days, personal days and PTO credits
Is an employee entitled to legislated sick leave? Well, that all depends on your jurisdiction.
Sick leave enables employees to take time off work when they are ill. It is not really leave for family obligations, although it may sometimes be used as such. Not all provinces or territories have legislated paid or unpaid sick leave. Currently there are eight jurisdictions that offer sick leave provisions in their employment/labour standards legislation, and they are: the federal jurisdiction, Quebec, Yukon, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan. Effective April 30, 2007, Manitoba employers will be required to provide unpaid family leave to deal with personal illness or the needs of their families. In all of these jurisdictions, the leave period is unpaid. In addition, employees may not be dismissed, suspended, laid off or demoted when using sick leave entitlements.
Alberta, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut don't have any statutes in their employment/labour standards for sick leave.
In Ontario employers are not required to provide unpaid or paid sick leave, or paid benefit plans for sickness to employees. However, employees who work for employers that regularly employ at least 50 employees or more are entitled to unpaid emergency leave in certain situations under the Employment Standards Act, which includes for the employee's illness.
In provinces or territories where unpaid leave for illness is not required, it is left at the employer's discretion within its workplace policies. In addition, some employers provide paid sick leave, personal days, and paid time off credits on top of legislated leave for illness. When the employer pays the employee's salary during the leave, that period of leave is generally called paid sick leave.
While the size and location of the business have a substantial impact on if an employer will provide these types of paid leave, according to several studies these options are crucial to the ability of employees to meet their own health needs and family responsibilities. When sick employees come to work, they may spread infectious illnesses or reduce productivity. A sick adult cannot perform to his or her best ability at work, care for children and dependent adults, or participate in the community as well as he or she could when in good health.
Often, entitlement to a period of paid leave is based on a formula related to the length of employment. A long-term employee may be entitled to more paid sick leave than someone who has recently started with the same company. On the other hand, a long-term employee who has suffered from ill health may not have any sick leave entitlement remaining.
Among those organizations with these types of benefits the waiting period before employees are entitled to paid sick leave, personal days, and paid time off credits is three months; the median amount of sick leave earned by employees in organizations which provide paid sick leave is 12 days annually. A majority of those organizations allow employees to accumulate sick leave, personal days, and paid time off credits. While most allow unlimited accumulation, the amount allowed varies widely. Most organizations do not allow accumulated sick leave to be converted to cash or additional vacation time.
A successful paid sick leave depends upon having a disability management program which consists of the following elements:
In 2000, paid time off plans represented about 10% of payroll. Paid time off is highly valued by employees, especially because of the pressures of balancing work and family responsibilities. Companies should have a formal policy that allows for flexible schedules and time off from work with pay. Types of paid time off benefits vary and can include the following:
HRinfodesk provides the legislated provisions for sick leave by jurisdiction. To find the information, go to the Library section on HRinfodesk.com; click on the jurisdiction of your choice; choose the heading, Benefits; and then click on the Sick Leave subheading.
Under the Benefits heading in any jurisdiction, including National, additional information can be found on other types of leaves of absence. In addition, under the National jurisdiction (which is applicable to all jurisdictions), under Policies and Procedures, subscribers will find sample polices, forms and checklist related to leaves of absence.

This uneven half-memoir is interesting and quirky when not caught up in the actual plot. Its exploration of modern Cuban identity is surprisingly nuanced, especially when compared with The Dirty Havana Trilogy. However, unlike Dirty Havana, Dirty Blonde leaves uncomplicated the issues surrounding race and ethnicity when they're treated as stable, essentialized concepts.
PLOT! Alysia is the daughter of an American diplomat — OR SO SHE THINKS! When she's 13, her mom dies of cancer. On her deathbed, she tells Alysia to find her real dad, a Cuban man Alysia's mother met while Alysia's not-real-dad was stationed on the island. Alysia sits on this secret for nearly ten years, then decides to take a year off from graduate school* in order to spend a year in Cuba finding her real dad. Her first night, the family she's staying with steals all her money, and eventually Alysia is forced to turn to jineterismo (a particularly Cuban form of prostitution) in order to provide for herself and pay for the private investigators necessary to find her real father.
During the course of the book, Alysia begins equating Cuban identity to a variety of traits. These include the need to hustle in order to make ends meet, jealousy/female competitiveness, and an unsophisticated form of raw sensuality. Alysia emails one of her friends, reflecting that
Cubanas possess a raw beauty, but without the sophistication and refinement that could be gleaned from a few copies of Spanish Elle. (99)
in regards to the numbers of Cuban women who dress really sexily but don't have access to thongs or seamless panties due to the trade restrictions/economy. At first I thought this lack of refinement would get problematized — after all, it comes up again when Alysia's asked to prepare a friend of hers for the return of her foreign lover. The Englishman wants his 15 year old jinetera to get a Brazilian. This is obviously creepy, and while Alysia throws a head nod to that, she spends the rest of page reflecting on the 'hirsute nature of the Latin female' (83) and her 'compulsion to offer its followers [Cuban women who stop shaving mid thigh] a blade and foam' (83). At this part, I couldn't help but think of that moment in the Sex and the City movie, where Miranda's pubic hair "situation" is to blame for her husband's infidelity. I was actually really surprised to read this in a book meant to be narrated by a girl described as a daughter of Ochun, the little goddess of natural sensuality, gently running waters, flirtation, and love.*
That being sad, some of Alysia's reflections are quite sharp. At one point, she notes that playing the temptress to tourists is really not so different from playing the 'somewhat wholesome Southern daughter, preppily dressed and attractive but not overly intimidating' (126), and that the state is intimately involved in legislating the sexuality of women and girls. It's at these moments (when we've really stepped AWAY from the contrived plot!) that Dirty Blonde shines.
*As a graduate student, I gotta say that I see the appeal. 🙁 LEARNING A LOT IS HARD.
*I might have been especially annoyed, since Ochun is my orisha as well. >_< It just felt VERY Mary Sue to me.

Why does one job lead to ten more?
Then I was going through some old designs and found this butterfly so I thought I'd give it a try. Lizbeth size 20 in Summer Fun and Light Turquoise were used for the first one. I was looking for mostly solid coloured rings and variegated chains, but I found the Summer Fun has long stretched of turquoise with much smaller sections of the other colours. and when you use 2 matched shuttles and the only part of the thread you can see is turquoise, it's hard to keep things straight.
I needed 2 for 2 little girls, so I did the second one in Summer Fun and Light Dusty Rose thinking that I'd end up with pink where the other one had blue, but I started with the pink and should have started with the variegated, so I got pink chains instead of pink rings.
The butterfly fits on the hair clips, but, I don't really like the way that they sit. Too much of the clip shows.
Then I thought maybe if I glued a bead over the body onto the hair clip it would help to cover up the metal, but I don't have a large enough attractive looking bead.
This started as a, wouldn't that look cute project which is rapidly taking on a life of it's own and hubby is already in the middle of one of those. He started out to make a stool. So he needed to cut 2 x4's to the right size for a seat. One of the wheels on the bandsaw has broken bearings so it doesn't roll easily. All of the equipment is on wheels so that it can be pushed against the wall when not in use and make room for the car to fit in the garage. So the bandsaw needed new casters. The set he put on the first time were welded on so he had to cut them off, make a new base and tap holes in the angle iron base to screw in the new casters. Once the boards were cut to size he drilled holes for dowels in each board glued and clamped the boards and made a solid piece for the seat that he could turn on the lathe.
The lathe is mounted on the wall to keep the floor space clear for the car, but when the square seat block is mounted on the lathe for turning, it hits the motor housing. In order to be able to turn the seat, he needs to move the motor below the lathe instead of beside it and if he wants to have full use of the lathe it really needs a table, on wheels of course, so that he can move it aside when it's not in use. So he had to build a lathe table and he had to build supports for the motor under the table that would allow the motor to move when the pulley is shifted to change speeds.
Why is it that doing one job often leads to ten other jobs that you really didn't plan on doing? Is it any wonder that nothing ever seems to get done?

Great flowers and butterflies!!! They are all so sweet! :)
- Ladytats said...
oh yes, exactly, things are on going, and never ending. one thing leads to another. I can sympathize or is it commiserate?
your butterflies and flowers look very nice, and I'll bet hubby's projects work out well too. and it will be easier for him to use the lathe in the future too.
- Kathy Niklewicz said...
You have persevered and are coming up with good solutions! I have several tatting projects sitting around waiting for new inspiration. And I have had to finally give up in defeat concerning our garage, and now have to keep the car outside because I need the space to sort out our stuff. I am hanging on to the hope that this is a temporary situation. We also have things on wheels in the garage to move things around and to get to the garden tractor.

It's like that with me, too. No wonder I don't get much tatting done!
The flowers and butterflies have turned out nicely, even if they are not quite what you had in mind.
- Margarets designer cards said...
Yes it's the same with me, also I think of one idea that leads to another half a dozen, I think life it like that.
Beautiful butterflies, lovely pattern, I think I would have put a smaller one on the top and it might have covered up more of the hair clip.
- Karen Milhoan said...
I want to needle tat a very delicate medium size cross.
- Sharon said...
For delicate lace you'll want to use size 80 thread. Generally crosses will end up in a Bible and often Bibles have fine onion skin pages, which is another reason to use fine, size 80, thread. Many cross patterns result in a cross that's about 3.5 to 4 inches long done in size 80 thread (exclusive of tassels etc.). Is that medium? I don't know, but it is typical. If you are needle tatting you'll have to work with a very fine needle for size 80 thread. There are a bunch of cross patterns here that you might find usefull.
I can tell you that the Easter Cross from my blog makes a large cross and you'd have to remove a pattern repeat from each arm to make it medium size.

One of the more worrying problems is tinnitus, which causes a ringing in the ears and is linked to hearing loss. It you suspect this it would be wise to see an audiologist to get your hearing checked. You can get free hearing test so it won't cost you a penny. If you suffer from bruxism (the medical term for grinding your teeth), you may be beginning to worry. This article aims to list the causes and symptoms of teeth grinding, as well as what you can do to stop it.
What Causes Bruxism?
There are a number of different causes for clenching and grinding your teeth, and it is often linked to anxiety and stress. However, it usually occurs while you're sleeping; this is more likely to be caused by an irregular bite (either over or under), or even crooked teeth.
How Can You Tell?
There are a few tell-tale signs – an aching jaw is a good one, especially in the morning. Constant headaches can also signify bruxism, but the most common sign is the noise; if you sleep next to somebody, they should be able to hear when you're grinding your gnashers.
If you worry that you do it, make sure to book an appointment with your dentist right away – he or she will be able to notice the signs of bruxism with a simple examination.
What Harm Can It Do?
Quite a lot, actually. For a start, your teeth are naturally going to get damaged by this intensive wear – you may fracture them, or even cause them to fall out completely. Some people have had to get bridges, crowns, and dentures to fix the damage.
As for problems outside the teeth, bruxism can affect your jaws, cause (or worsen existing) temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), change the shape of your face or even cause a loss of hearing.
Studies, such as this one conducted in Greece, have proved the link between bruxism, TMDs and hearing loss. It has been found that there is a high correlation between grinding your teeth and suffering from tinnitus.
How Can You Stop It?
Luckily, there are all sorts of ways in which you can stop grinding your teeth. One of the easiest ones is to simply visit your dentist and ask for a night mouth guard – this will fit over your teeth (usually the bottom set) and you'll wear it while you sleep; it takes the punishment instead of your canines!
Because stress and anxiety are common factors in causing you to grind your teeth, reducing them can stop you doing it. Try starting a regular exercise programme or enquiring about muscle relaxants.
Other things you can do are to cut back on caffeinated products like cola and coffee, and cutting out alcohol. Unnecessary chewing should be avoided (biting pencils or chewing gum), and you can also try relaxing your jaw muscles with a warm cloth before bed.

Ahead of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh meeting polls, social media big Facebook on Monday teamed up with the workplaces of chief electoral officers of the states to encourage folks to take part in the upcoming state elections.
As a part of this collaboration, Facebook will promote a reminder in folks's 'News Feed' on three completely different polling days – November 9, December 9 and December 14 – to assist educate folks in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat on the upcoming state polls and encourage them to participate, a launch mentioned.
"The reminder will help encourage participation in the upcoming state elections, and will be run in conjunction with the campaign run by the office of the Chief Electoral Officer of Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat to encourage people to vote," it added.
Nitin Saluja, Politics and Government Outreach Manager, Facebook India, South and Central Asia, mentioned the collaboration will make it simpler for the folks of Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat to take part in their state elections.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Pushpendra Rajput mentioned the importance of reaching out to key audiences through social media platforms can't be overemphasised.
"With the kind of reach Facebook has, it has been our endeavour to utilise this medium as an effective tool for information dissemination and awareness creation," he mentioned.
Gujarat's CEO B B Swain mentioned "There is a two-way conversation happening where people share what they care about, and officials get honest, real-time feedback. …I am sure sending out polling day reminders in both the phases will result in a high participation by the community."
There are greater than 212 million people who find themselves lively on Facebook in India. As per the discharge, round 37 million folks generated over 312 million interactions throughout final 5 Indian state elections 2017.

She wore white and I wore black which against the dark blue wall of the hospital ward created its own double negative. My mother listened as I talked and when I was silent she listened more intently. Most people would say that the ears hear everything, but it's the eyes that listen. She even heard my silence. She held my hand as she had done when I was a child and told me not to come tomorrow. I sat there holding my hands, a jacket draped over my shoulders looking at the empty beds opposite and I felt angry and alone.

Artificial birth control is a sin in the Catholic Church, period. Those in the Church who want to legalize it are under the influence of Satan. The Catholic Church believes in the protection of all life from conception to natural death with no exceptions. The problem that you and others have is that in Catholicism "The Church" is divinely protected; while the members are not. All other churches do not have that distinction. They were all started by some human not by Christ Jesus.
By the way, are any of the following actually incorrect: "Jesus Christ", "Christ Jesus" and/or "Jesus the Christ"?

About the Poem
The Fire may not be my best poem, but of all of my poems it means the most to me.
I grew up around drugs, and the people who use them. I know very well the life associated with them. In the beginning it's true, it does calm and helps relieve stress. But after a while, the line between fiction and reality becomes blurred and there are only a few steps from pure insanity.
I would like to dedicate this poem to my Mom, who worked very hard to stop using drugs. I would also like to dedicate it to those people who got out and those still trying with all of their might to get out. May you all have the best of luck and never quit trying.

The Fire
|by Jeremy Redinger
I lay down in my comfortable bed,
feeling the pain deep in my heart.
I light a cigarette in hopes of comfort,
Tearing off the filter to get the full flavor.
I put it in my mouth and fall asleep.
I dreamed of dying in a blazing hell,
laying in my bed,
With the fire burning outside of me,
Trying to get in.
I didn't care,
The fire in my soul was worse,
Burning furiously at my heart to get out.
It hurt so bad I wanted to die.
All I needed was to talk,
but this got the job done.
All I know now is that this is the longest time I've ever slept,
I wonder when reality will come calling for me again.

The Raw Materials
Well, Anna, I thought my next quilt was pinks and white, but I believe I have changed my mind (what a surprise!). Since it is fall, I was thinking more golds, oranges and browns so that is what I have chosen but I don't really have a pattern in mind. I have tons of pink scraps now so I am ready to go on that whenever.

Welcome Trent
Notice the giant Green Button for GO and the Large Red Button for Stop. I think these work well for blondes like me.
This little string attached to a red magnet is my emergency stop. If I pull this lovely little device, the machine rapidly and safely returns to a stopped position. Yes it works and no it wasn't an emergency.
This nifty little sensor measure my heart rate (supposedly). I am not entirely conviced of its accuracy.
I am sure many other interesting, bordering on hilarious, stories are sure to be forthcoming in regards to our treadmill. Unfortunately I remember the hours of PE class with ~d wherein, I performed aerobics as if they were fun. I think I would die now if required to do such exercise. Sigh, to be young and in shape again. At least I can go for the latter state of fitness.

Why do YOU go to church?
Do you go because...
- It was the way my parents raised me
- I've always gone
- I don't want people to think bad of me
- It's the Christian thing to do
- The Bible tells us to
- I need to grow spiritually
- I need to worship the King
I was thinking about this today and I wonder if for the most part we go because that is what we do on Sundays. How many of us go because we are EXCITED about going to church? Do you get up on Sunday and you can't wait to get to church? Or do you get up and go because you know you "need" to go to church? Obviously, there are going to be days where you don't feel like going, but for the most part, are we really enthusiastic about our worship of the King? Unfortunately, I don't think so. Lord, help us to be excited and enthusiastic in our worship and praise to You.

Day 5 - Grand Canyon, AZ to Las Vegas, NV
It rained on the way back to Las Vegas and I was able to catch this beautiful rainbow.
We crossed Hoover Dam again on the way back in and this time, we stopped to take a few pictures.
Smiling at me, as I cower at only 950 feet.
Pictures from the observation deck where I safely sat, watching him ride in the air above me.
After a yummy dinner at a buffet on the bottom level of the Stratosphere, we put the convertible top down once more and cruised the Strip for some more pictures. My boss had told me to watch the water show at the Bellagio. It was indeed beautiful. I couldn't capture the water very well with my
camera but I tried.
I tried to take pictures of buildings and hotels that I had taken in the daylight so you can compare them to the previous post.
Even the McDonalds had a catchy light sign.

MAC - Bad Fairy (reloaded), and a little more giveaway info!
Can I say it? Ladies, you are awesome! I really appreciate that you're following me and that you leave comments on the posts that interest you. It's very encouraging to know that other people are reading. Thank you all so much! At the end of this entry, there will be a small change of plans concerning the giveaway some of you have entered. :) So stay tuned!
I really wanted my weekend manicure to be my new Edyta polish. The first coat applied somewhat awkwardly, though, and I had apprehension. It dried fine, so I added a second coat. I nudged my thumb by accident (shoot!), which left a big smudge that I tried to fill. Then I put on a coat of Seche Vite, hoping that it would make everything better. But it wouldn't dry. It was weird... just kind of got gummy. :( I decided to sleep on it and see if it looked better in the morning, but alas, it didn't. At least my Edyta pedicure lived to tell the tale. The nails got wiped, though.
My application of Bad Fairy was horrendous, so I'm not going to give you the normal pictures. Wah ha ha! Everyone has seen a bajillion pictures of it by now anyway. I'll just share a couple pictures that I took and liked.
I really like this polish, but it had its share of issues. I used three coats of polish in my pictures here. For you longer-nailed ladies, you may need to do four to get full coverage in the case of VNL. I can't see any with mine, but shorties don't usually have that problem. With this many coats, I'm definitely considering just layering a coat over another polish in the future. I think it would be just as beautiful that way.
Can we talk about the brush for a moment? It's a pretty stiff brush. Pairing a stiff brush with a polish like this can just be bad news, I think. Also, the brush in my bottle had a weird bristle that stuck out to the side when it wasn't covered in polish. Curious, I also checked the giveaway bottle. Same thing. :( Apologies. I know that nail polish isn't MAC's big best seller, but you'd think they could have a better brush (or better quality control) for their higher priced product.
Ultimately, though, the color is pretty wicked. I can handle an errant bristle for something that sparkles so radiantly in the sun that it nearly makes me drool. <3
In other news, I've decided to make a slight addendum to my Mysteriously Multiplying Bad Fairy Giveaway. :) I realize that it might have been a heady goal to only add extra prizes if I reach 75 or 100 followers. There's certainly still time to reach that, but I don't want the goodies for the winner to hang on other people.
So here's the deal. I know that a lot of you have lemming lists. Every time I see one that has something I own on it, I always have the itch to contact the blogger and ask if they'd like it. So if you win my giveaway, I want to see your list! What good are extra prizes if they aren't something you want, right? If I don't have or can't find something from your list that you want, though, I'll just send extra goodies and hope that you enjoy them.
How does that sound? :)

wow, this is real generous of u!!! :) U are a GOOD Fairy :PReplyDelete
would love to see Edtya :) Thought of getting it, but not sure if i'll love it..
p.s join my giveaway on squovalicious.blogspot.com!
I think that's a great idea! My lemming list is about a mile long, haha. I've never seen anyone else do that before.ReplyDelete
I borrowed my friend's bottle of Edyta and didn't have any problems with it.. strange. Bad polish day? I've never had any issues with Zoya or Seche.
I've been wanting to try a polish from Evil Shades. The are wickedly holographic. :PReplyDelete
Jamie: Haha, thanks! I'm definitely giving Edyta another shot. It's much too beautiful to give up on.ReplyDelete
Astoria: I'm really hoping that I can fulfill some lemmings. My polish collection is pretty massive right now, and I know there's things in it that just aren't "me." Once I get everything sorted, I think it'd be good to have a blog sale, so keep your eyes peeled. :)
I think that my issues are maybe stemming from the base coat I used, so I'm going to try a different one when I try Edyta again.
Kimberly: They are looovely! The shimmery foil finish is so awesome! I ended up buying Edyta, JulieAnne, and Karina from that collection, and just stuck with Shawn and Kelly from the Wonderful collection. :)
That sounds great! I've definitely been craving anything Zoya lately!ReplyDelete
wow thats pretty nice of you. I had seen a similar color in Zoya. can't remember the name !!ReplyDelete

Then again, the government is known to manipulate the markets to avoid crashes and other issues. Research has shown that the NSA is more than willing to influence transactions on the market. Documents have revealed the NSA could be accessing financial institutions and changing around the funds in bank accounts. Its widely agreed upon that no government entity should engage in such practices.
The NSA uses various databases in order to accomplish these illicit acts. Likewise, this particular agency is known to monitor credit card transactions through various companies. It's highly likely that the CARDS database will be used to influence the Stock Market. Unfortunately, the repercussions of this development could be huge. There is no reason that the government should stick its hand in the markets in this day and age.

Claudine Hellmuth Studio Matte Multi Medium. I used an Adirondack Cranberry Dabber to stamp the sentiment, and added other stamped images using a Snow Cap Dabber. I used my new Sizzix Pennants die to cut a cute banner from red and white ticking fabric. It's attached to a piece of string and then attached using the Idea-ology Tiny Attacher.
Idea-ology Kraft Glassine using the Sizzix Tattered Florals die. I added a bit of Snow Cap paint here and there to soften it, and painted an Idea-ology Foliage piece with the Cranberry Dabber for the center. The flower is mounted over a frame cut from chipboard using the Sizzix Tag and Bookplates die. The frame was painted with a Snow Cap Dabber and the edges lightly sanded. I attached a Philosophy Tag that I painted with an Aqua Paint Dabber (loving this color so much right now!).
I'm also loving this view of all the layers! The bottom is chipboard, the red layer is a piece of the new Adirondack Core'dinations paper that's been embossed using Tim Holtz's Regal Flourish Texture Fade. The whole grungy sandwich is attached to the base using - what else? - the Tiny Attacher.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy what's left of your weekend and have a wonderful week!

text: ECMP stands for equal cost multipath routing. This is a solution when the routing table has two best paths for the same destination address. An example of this could be having two default gateways configured with the same metrics (costs). In such a case, the software on that platform could use a load balancing solution to split traffic across the two paths. However, this could cause additional problems if the two paths meet each other downstream, thus only adding complexity and not increasing the speed by a lot. Also, if the session state is not maintained, it could lead to some problems over the network if the state of the two routes changes dynamically. A solution to this is through explicit stateful switching. Doing switching also improves latencies since it is faster than routing.

That's right π , as in Pi the mathematical constant.
And why is today called Pi Day? Because according to the American dating system, the 3rd of March is 3.14, which is Pi to three significant figures.
On such occasions as this, I try to link the event to my books, and in the case of Pi Day, the most suitable candidate is Match Wits With the Kids.
However, since that particular book is out of print, I'm going to go with Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland instead, because Alice's creator, Lewis Carroll, was really Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a mathematics don at Oxford University. My gamebook even features a few mathematical teasers.
As regular readers of this blog will already know, Alice's Nightmare produced a spin-off colouring book, which went down a storm in the States, and so artist Kev Crossley has drawn a whole new set of pictures, specifically for colouring this time, so expect to see Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland Colouring Book 2 hitting virtual bookstore shelves very soon.
"The modern master of the gamebook format" (Rob Sanders)... "Can do dark very well" (Jonathan Oliver)... "Green gets mileage out of his monsters" (SFX Magazine)... "It takes a firm editorial hand and a keen understanding of the tone of each piece to make a collection this diverse work, and Green makes it look effortless" (Starburst Magazine)

This Friday marks our third week of delivering CSA boxes to our 8 customers. They are looking good, and finally filling themselves with fresh veggies. This week we delivered 1/2 of mixed greens, carrots, three types of beets, three types of turnips, two types of kale, 1/2 lb of shelling peas, herbs, and radishes. This might be pittance compared to what some other well established farms are offering at this time we are totally proud of ourselves. Going from absolutely nothing when i got here in october of 07 to now, we are feeling good about our progress.
There are still many obstacles to overcome here at Mud Puddle, but we are trying to overcome them without going crazy. Right now our water system is acting up, and that could cause real problems because our baby and plants need water. It is really dry and hot
this is where we rest when the heat of the day overcomes us. There are two hammocks up right now, and one more that i need to put up. they are great for everything from sleeping to resting. Even reading is possible in these hammocks but rarely does it last too long.
It is a bit early for potatoes, the flowers on the plants haven't totally bloomed yet, and the leaves aren't dying away. These are the indications that the potatoes are ready to harvest.


text: SOFIA, BULGARIA — How do you discipline youngsters outside of the classroom? The Communist government of Bulgaria has lots of answers. One of them is a 9 p.m. curfew to get the nation's 1.5 million school pupils indoors early at night. Restaurants and bars that serve alcoholic drinks are off-limits and the wearing of school uniforms is now compulsory. Authorities said a stiffening of discipline among the younger generation was vital for the country's long-term plans to face the technological challenges of the future. The new measures were introduced with the Sept. 15 start of the school year.

Build Is Here to Stay
Build Is Here to Stay
The Build 2012 conference is only the second Build event Microsoft has held. In 2011, Microsoft held what was supposed to be a one-time developer event focused on Windows, primarily Windows 8, development. And Microsoft insisted that the conference, held last year in Anaheim, Calif., should not be identified as "Build 2011" because there was to be only one Build event and it was not slated to be a replacement for Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference (PDC). Well, Build 2012 happened, and it has been a success. I'd say Build is here to stay.
The Opportunity on Windows Has Never Been Greater
Expected PC shipment volumes in the coming year and the incredibly flexible terms of the Windows Store provide a path to app monetization in order for developers to generate new revenue.
Developers Can Bring What They Know to Windows and Start Building Apps
Developers can use their existing skills, code, certifications, languages and framework preferences to write for the Windows platform, including using HTML and JavaScript to write HTML5 apps. Or traditional Microsoft developers, including Silverlight and .NET devs, can carry their XAML skills forward to Windows 8, while native developers familiar with C++ can use all their current capabilities to build apps.
HTML5, JavaScript Are All the Rage
Microsoft has made its bet on HTML5 and JavaScript for Windows 8 development. Of course C# and C++ continue to be widely used for core app development. But Microsoft is pushing JavaScript and HTML5 for building apps, including Windows Store apps. The list of sessions held over the four-day Build 2012 event included at least 15 that featured HTML5 or JavaScript in the title. Not one session mentioned Silverlight.
Microsoft Releases Windows Phone 8 SDK
Microsoft announced the Windows Phone 8 Software Development Kit (SDK) at Build 2012. The new Windows Phone SDK provides fast, familiar tools that allow developers to build apps and games for Windows Phone 8 with Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Phone, Expression Blend, the Windows Phone Emulator, Profiler and Store Test Kit.
Expanded Windows Azure Mobile Services Support
At Build 2012, Microsoft announced that Windows Azure Mobile Services will support Windows Phone 8, in addition to Windows 8 Client and Apple iOS, allowing developers to easily connect Windows 8 mobile apps to Windows Azure.
The Cloud Is Just the Cloud
Microsoft discussed the benefits of its Windows Azure cloud without delving into the old platform as a service (PaaS), versus infrastructure as a service (IaaS), versus whatever as a service. Instead, Microsoft simply spoke about how developers can take advantage of the capabilities of Windows Azure for a variety of things. In short, the Azure platform performs many functions, but to Microsoft, the cloud is just the cloud.
Preview of Windows Azure Store
Microsoft announced a preview of the Windows Azure Store, which includes a catalog of app services, ranging from monitoring and scaling, to mail delivery to databases. You can check out the preview at www.windowsazure.com/store.
Expanded Language Support in Windows Azure
Windows Azure Websites now supports Python to enable developers to easily write apps based on the code of their choice. Windows Azure also supports .NET, Node.js, Java, PHP and Ruby.
Windows Azure Serves as the Back End for Halo 4
Halo 4 multiplayer mode is using Windows Azure to provide a robust, cost-effective way to scale up and down as demand ebbs and flows across the globe.
Team Foundation Service (TFS) Availability
Microsoft announced the general availability of Visual Studio 2012 Team Foundation Service (TFS), a modern application lifecycle management tool, is now officially available and will be free for teams of up to five people. Team Foundation Service includes agile project planning and management tools, version control, build automation and continuous deployment automation.
Windows Store Showcases Big Names
Companies such as ESPN, Expedia, Fitbit, Hotels.com, PayPal, SAP and Twitter are all building apps for the Windows Store. Disney announced the release of "Agent P Strikes Back," and LEGO Group announced LEGO Life of George, among others.
Windows, Windows Phone More Closely Align
With the Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 shared core, there is a common development environment, skill portability, user interface (UI) commonality, and a consistent user experience between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 so that developers can build unified applications.
Microsoft Can Throw a Mean Developer Bash
Microsoft hosted the Build 2012 conference on its campus at the company headquarters in Redmond, Wash. Although it was a success, the logistics were a bit off for some. The main buildings, where sessions were held, were across the freeway and required shuttle buses or a 20-minute walk. However, Microsoft constructed one of the largest tents in North America on its Redmond campus to host the thousands of developers attending Build 2012, which sold out in less than an hour. The tent spanned approximately 12 NBA basketball courts.
The Goodies
Last but not least, the key takeaways (or were they giveaways) from Build 2012 were the Microsoft Surface RT tablet PCs and the Nokia Lumia 920 smartphones all paying attendees received at the event.

So, a foodie weekend in Amsterdam begins.. The light patter of rain at the windows did not stop us from getting out to see the city's food offerings on Friday morning (though it may have delayed it for a couple of hours as we were kidnapped by duvets). Our unanimous first stop was Café de Prins to have its poffertjes (mini Dutch pancakes) with vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately our number one thing to try no longer featured on the menu; but we could not resist the wooden panelled interiors with candles lit, local Dutch men quietly reading the paper and a resident cat who skulked in through the window. We quickly spoiled the peace of the locals with our custom loud expressions of appreciation of the places we discover. We ordered a coffee to start the day and were recommended to try pancakes at an authentic pancake house by the waitress who certainly did not lack that characteristic Dutch friendliness. So on we plodded on our hunt that criss-crossed the pictouresque canals of Amsterdam
Thanks to our local source of knowledge, Tom, we managed to get hold of this Dutch delicacy (poffertjes) street-food style in the market just outside of the city centre. Poffertjes: fluffy little mouthfuls of batter drizzled in nutella, maple syrup and butter were melted on our tongues leaving on the custom cardboard plate an amalgamation of buttery mapley chocolatiness to tackle.. and so between the three of us we licked the platter clean..
Our search for a pancake house was fruitless (to our dismay Gala's number one place to go Upstairs Pancake House was closed) so we were a little flat when we arrived at Olive magazine recommended 'Screaming Beans', which claimed to have the best coffee in Amsterdam. We obviously could not put this to the test and try them all, but this silky and heart-warming coffee would be pretty stiff competition and cheered us up right away. Gala, coffee enthusiast, was in barista heaven and thoroughly enjoyed the "well-rounded flavour" and "aesthetically pleasing latte art" whilst my humble palette was tickled by my deliciously frothy cappuccino.
A very kind barista, from Devon of all places, sat down with us and told us his favourite pancake house a few streets down which we finally found for our last stop before home time. There was absolutely no question as to what we would order, we had been waiting all weekend to try… Bacon and Apple Dutch Pancakes please! Crispy golden brown they appeared, an unreal combination of melting batter base and sweet caramelised apple, all cut through by ladders of crispy and salty streaky bacon. There could not have been a more fruitful ending to our trip.
Warning to visitors: the canals and bridges form a confusing, if beautiful, maze; so give yourself plenty of time to find places on your hit-list! Our pancake hunt was certainly worth the effort though, good things come to those who wait!
Thank you to Olive magazine for recommendations and Tom for hosting, we hope you enjoyed our adventure!

The leading
Formation of BCIS E-filing Standards Group Announced
by Robert C. Meltzer
The responses to this Monday's letter to the editor and Editor's Comments in Immigration Daily about the opportunity BCIS e-filing presents to the Immigration Bar have been, not surprisingly, overwhelmingly encouraging and positive. It is apparent that interest in e-filing is already high and clearly this is an issue that resonates with the entire immigration law community.
In more than a half-decade of developing electronic application processing systems for immigration benefits, we have been in contact with the INS, BCIS, DOL, and their contractors, focusing our discussions on developments in online filing and processing of applications. Never before has there been an e-government initiative that could have the kind of impact that BCIS e-filing can - not only on the productivity and customer service mission of the BCIS, but on the immigration law profession as a whole.
Our conversations with those associated with the INS/BCIS e-filing project indicate that there is both need and opportunity for the Immigration Bar to help shape the future of this system.
"There are opportunities for third parties, such as immigration attorneys, their organizations, and representatives of software companies that serve immigration attorneys in this capacity to make their voices heard. This should be encouraged, although I cannot say what the specifics are at this point," said one contractor representative associated with the project.He added "Right now, with the system, there are still plans to refine [it] as it is put in use. We always try to take what we see when something goes live, and look for ways to improve it. It can be a fluid thing."
Marc Topoleski, an attorney at the immigration law firm of Ellis Porter, sees the need for the Immigration Bar to work together to ensure that the profession's technological needs are met. "We need to have a voice. When the basic architecture of e-filing is established, the ability to work electronically with the system without an additional major investment is critical. Without it, BCIS e-filing won't be used to its fullest potential."
"If you look at how the IRS worked with the private sector when developing online tax filing, you can see that by working together, the government and the industry created the most useful system possible," added Topoleski.
Now is the time for action.
The BCIS e-filing program represents an unprecedented opportunity, both for the government and the Immigration Bar. This opportunity lies in addressing the needs of the BCIS to handle its benefits administration in a more efficient, cost-effective, and customer-friendly way. At the same time, the opportunity can also address the needs of the immigration law profession, which has been waiting for the government to catch up to, if not match, its embrace of the latest technologies. The gap between the opportunity and the need has not yet been bridged. What is required is an active, energized support structure that will ensure that opportunity and need meet to produce the best possible outcome for all parties involved.
Based on the responses we have seen in the past week from the Immigration Bar and vendors that serve it, it is evident that the desire to have input on the development of the e-filing system is there. What is now needed is a way to speak with a unified and influential voice.
This voice will be provided via the formation of an inclusive, industry-wide group to formalize past efforts in this area and work with the BCIS and its contractors: the E-filing Standards for Immigration Group. The E-filing Standards for Immigration Group (ESIG) will ensure that e-filing standards meet the needs of the Immigration Bar and the technologies that it uses to serve their clients.
The ESIG will provide an organized, unified, and focused platform for which to present the expertise, ideas, and needs of the Immigration Bar as it relates to BCIS e-filing. We encourage everyone - attorneys, paralegals, third-party software vendors - to unify under the ESIG umbrella in a concerted effort to ensure that we are included in the e-filing process.
The ESIG will:
