If you're a Google+ fan and have an Android phone, you'll want to hit the Android Market because there's an update for Google+ that promises (among other things) "massive performance improvements" across the app. The full changelog:
- Massive performance improvements across the app
- What's Hot!
- View who +1'd a post or comment
- Stream posts shortened to fit more per scroll
- Infinite photos feed in 'From your circles'
- Stream no longer jumps to the top for an automatic refresh
I never really noticed any poor performance from the app to start with, so I'm not yet ready to judge these massive improvements, but the rest of the list has a bunch of welcome changes. The addition of What's Hot! and ability to see who +1'd a post or comment are things many have been asking for, and UI improvements like better formatting of posts and no longer bouncing to the top and losing your place when you refresh are always welcome. Now let's focus on a tablet optimized version, shall we Google? Maybe walk over and visit the cubes of the folks working on Currents.
Download link is after the break.

Re^2: Ruby Before Perl? Nah.by Porculus (Hermit)

Not that this approach doesn't also have issues (e.g. you call method zorch expecting the object to do foo, but instead it does bar and wipes your hard drive . . .), but there is a rationale behind it.
I'm used to seeing posts like this explaining Ruby's object system when it's being contrasted to C++ or Java, but is this really noticably different from Perl's OO system? How does foo.zorch in Ruby differ from $foo->zorch in Perl? If it looks like duck typing and quacks like duck typing... ;)
Indeed, I believe we could use Perl's OO support and operator overloading to do exactly the same things as Ruby does, right down to accessing arrays and hashes with the same kinds of bracket. The reason we don't is twofold:

True Love – Book Review
Are you ready to curl up with a delicious novel this spring? If so, I'd like to introduce you to True Love by New York Times best-selling novelist Jude Deveraux. True Love is the first book in her new series, The Nantucket Bride trilogy.
If you are already a fan of Jude Deveraux, you'll be delighted to learn that True Love connects to Jude's previous books by introducing characters from a new generation of Montgomery-Taggerts, the beloved family from Deveraux's classic novels.
And – if you are new to this author but love romance interlaced with elements of mystery, family secrets, and supernatural elements – you will want to add this book to your reading list!
Here is a synopsis of the plot:
Just as Alix Madsen is finishing up architectural school, Adelaide Kingsley dies and wills her, for one year, the use of a charming nineteenth-century Nantucket house. The elderly woman's relationship to the Madsen family is a mystery to the spirited Alix—fresh from a romantic breakup—but for reasons of her own Alix accepts the quirky bequest, in part because it gives her time to plan her best friend's storybook wedding.
But unseen forces move behind the scenes, creaking Kingsley House's ancient floorboards. It seems that Adelaide Kingsley had a rather specific task for Alix: to solve the strange disappearance of one of the Kingsley women, Valentina, more than two hundred years ago. If that wasn't troubling enough, Alix must deal with the arrogant (and extremely good-looking) architect Jared Montgomery, who is living in the property's guesthouse.
Unbeknown to Alix, Jared has been charged with looking after her while she lives on the island—an easy task for him, considering the undeniable chemistry between the two. But Jared harbors secrets of his own, which, if revealed, may drive a wedge between the pair.
With a glorious Nantucket wedding on the horizon, sparks fly, and the ghosts of the past begin to reveal themselves—some of them literally. Finding their lives inextricably entwined with the turbulent fortunes of their ancestors, Alix and Jared discover that only by righting the wrongs of the past can they hope to be together.
What I loved about this book is that there are surprises at every turn – starting with the Prologue – and that the story isn't just a contemporary romance, but is a multi-layered mystery that takes us into the past as well.
True Love will be released in Paperback in May 2014. Keep reading for your chance to win 1 of 3 copies of the new Paperback edition from the publisher!

Heroes Spoiler: A Power for Mrs. Parkman?Matt Richenthal at . Comments
With three episodes to go in season three, Heroes is likely to drop a few major twists on fans over the next few weeks.
In a new interview with TV Guide, Greg Grunberg, who portrays Matt Parkman on the dismal NBC series, drops a significant hint about what's to come regarding one recurring character.
Asked about Parkman reconciling with his ex-wife - with whom, he just discovered, he has a son - Grunberg said "it's going to take some work," adding:
"She's got secrets of her own — Janice is not as simple a character as everybody thinks. Where did those diamonds go [in Season 1]? There's a lot of things we don't know. We made a baby with powers together, and I don't think that's a one-sided thing."
What's in store for Parkman? Follow our link for more Heroes spoilers and information!

PORTLAND — The proposed sale of Mercy Health System to a for-profit hospital chain is off, but Mercy is now negotiating a new deal with Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems.
Mercy, the nonprofit system that operates 230-bed Mercy Hospital, Portland's second-largest, had been trying since August to work out terms of an acquisition by Steward Health Care System, a private-equity-backed company that owns 10 Massachusetts hospitals.
But the two systems "were unable to come to a definitive agreement," according to a Mercy press release on Friday, Dec. 7, and the negotiations were terminated. Both Mercy and Steward refused to discuss why the deal failed.
If the Steward deal had been successful, it would have been the first sale of an acute-care Maine hospital to a for-profit company. If sold to Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems, Mercy would retain its nonprofit status.
A separate press release announced that Mercy had signed a non-binding letter of intent to negotiate with EMHS, the nonprofit parent company of Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. The company also operates six other hospitals and nine nursing homes and retirement communities, all in central and northern Maine.
The agreement "sets the stage for the integration of Mercy into EMHS," the release said.
Both parties will now conduct a due-diligence review of a potential deal, which would then have to receive approvals from state and federal regulators. It also would need the approval of the Catholic church, with which Mercy is affiliated. The process is expected to take several months.
Mercy is owned by Catholic Health East, a nonprofit system that runs 35 hospitals in 11 states. In October, Catholic Health East announced plans to merge with another system, Trinity Health of Michigan.

In the years following the Battle of Antietam, veterans returned to the battlefield, many to attend the dedication of their monuments there. On Sept. 17, 1904, old soldiers in the 124th Pennsylvania were photographed at their monument at the intersection of Starke Avenue and Hagerstown Pike on the day of its dedication. During their visit, many of them scoured the fields for war relics and pointed out to their families where they were on that bloody day.
Some simply wondered how they survived.

Antietam : Gentle peaceful stream.
Upon thy banks so fair,
What memories, to the mind will turnAnd it ended:
Of one who lingers there.
May the great God, who rules above.
And guides the affairs of men.

Bringing Faith Into the Desert: Hermitage Celebrates 25 Years
by Jimmy Patterson, West Texas Angelus
In the beginning, there was one.
Father Fabian Rosette, a Miami native turned Odessa priest in the 1980s, Fr. Fabian was called to the monastic life and, following that call, he went into the desert, and though those early years were long and lean, he and his brother hermits have built, grown and maintained the Mount Carmel Hermitage, southwest of Christoval.
It hasn't always been easy, in fact for many years it was quite difficult.
But thanks to God, and the support of a revolving number of Christians — both Catholic and Protestant — brothers, sisters, fathers, bishops, friends and supporters of the hermitage celebrated the 25th anniversary of its dedication, Saturday, July 2, 2016.
Fr. Fabian has cultivated holy land here. Work and prayer are the order of the day — everyday. The silence and spirituality of the hermitage are tangible.
"It didn't take long for me to realize there was something authentic, something holy here," said Very Rev. Joseph Chalmers, O. Carm., the former Prior General of the Carmelite Order who first received the hermits in 1991. Fr. Chalmers said that after visiting the rolling hills in southwest Tom Green County, and meeting Fr. Fabian, "I didn't hesitate from that moment to push the idea that Fr. Fabian be accepted completely as a postulant."
Most Rev. Fernando Millán Romeral, O. Carm., the current Prior General of the order, concelebrated the Mass after the long trip from Rome.
"When people here met Fr. Fabian for the first time, there were many Protestants," Bishop Romeral said. "Many helped with donations of food and money. I come from a 90 percent Catholic country (Spain), so to me, that was impressive. That's a very nice sign. We are all Christians and we are all people of a deep faith. These are the most important things we are united in."
The hermitage was founded on July 1, 1991. Fr. Fabian followed Jesus' call to give up everything and follow him in a life of silence, solitude and prayer. Fr. Fabian lived alone in a small cottage for several years and constructed a small chapel. He prayed regularly, maintaining a small herd of goats and a vegetable garden.
In 1994, two brothers joined him in order to pursue the same life in a community. Br. John David, an Odessa native, and one of the two founding brothers, still lives the monastic life today at the hermitage.
Fr. Martin Mary Hubbs, a longtime brother who left medical school in California for the monastic life, entered the priesthood in May 2012. Today, he is a vital part of the hermitage.
"I shake and tremble when I try to get my hands around the blessings, but also the burden," he said during the celebration. "When Fr. Fabian started this 25 years ago, things were not so rosy. But the Lord does what he wants to do and he inspires who he wants to inspire, as with St. Benedict and St. John the Baptist.
"When Bishop (Michael) Pfeifer gave permission for this hermitage in 1991, it was a blessing. But for a vocation director who had been in the diocese for 10 years that might have seemed a little strange. Fr. Fabian is a person who came into the desert — literally."
In those early days, Fr. Hubbs said, there were just three supporters — Fr. Fabian's mother, Rosita Bernal, a Baptist minister who was the first person who brought Fr. Fabian his first cooked meal, and Lou Brown, a devout Catholic and area landowner.
"No matter what you say about Fr. Fabian, he lived here for three years by himself with blind faith," Fr. Hubbs said. "He didn't know where his next meal or the next donation would come from. By the grace of God, we continue to stand before him today trembling. I ask the Lord to give us the same courage he gave Fr. Fabian 25 years ago."
The Most Rev. Michael J. Sis, sixth bishop of the Diocese of San Angelo, said the Mount Carmel Hermitage represents an "opportunity to recommit ourselves to God's calling."
Fr. Fabian was a priest in the diocese beginning in 1976. When he began looking to establish the hermitage, he said, "the Methodists welcomed me in and in gave me a glass of tea. I love the Methodists," he said. "I didn't have any money then, but I knew I would find it. St. Teresa of Avila said once you have the blessing of the bishop, you can get on with the rest of your life.
"If you give your life to God, he will take care of you every day. And we are filled with joy."

The Five Forecasters still favor the continuation of the current bull market and no recession. The Five Forecasters, which we first introduced in 2014, are five indicators that, collectively, have historically signaled the increasing fragility of the U.S. economy and a transition to the late stage of the economic cycle and an oncoming recession.
Currently, these indicators are generally sending mid-cycle signals (similar to our cycle clock from Outlook 2016). Three of the five indicators are flashing a warning signal and suggest the cycle may have moved past the midpoint, while two of them are still benign. Here we review these five indicators, which still signal that this bull market may continue and that the latest S&P 500 correction may stop short of a 20% decline.
Bear market declines of 20% or more for stocks are not always accompanied by a recession, although more often than not, that is the case. Accordingly, we believe these indicators can be used to give some advance warning of an impending bear market. The average S&P 500 decline in a bear market historically is about 33%, compared to the 12% peak-to-trough decline from the all-time high on May 21, 2015, through January 20, 2016.
Scenario Planning For Current Market Conditions
In the Outlook for 2016, we highlight some areas where uncertainty or important changes may lead to opportunities as the year progresses, such as interest rates, energy, and emerging markets. For each of these areas, as well as for the volatile market environment as a whole, we share an overview of our playbook for added flexibility in 2016. Running through all of these playbooks are some basic themes:
- Patient doesn't have to mean passive. Stay with your plan, but there
may still be times when it makes sense to lower a portfolio's riskiness.
- Protect but don't panic. Some protection can create flexibility.
– Pursue opportunities. Flexibility creates room to pursue opportunities.
With this more tactical approach, technical analysis can be a more important tool for gauging market behavior and can be useful both to help mitigate risks and take advantage of opportunities. Technicals have always been part of our process in analyzing market behavior. In more volatile markets, where fear can create sustained gaps between what's going on in the markets and what's going on in the economy and corporate America, the ability to measure market sentiment through technicals can become even more important.
Can Winning the Lottery Make you Happy?
In case you missed it, here is Michael's radio interview regarding the recent Powerball Jackpot. What will happen to the lucky winner of the life-changing prize? Have past winners had their lives changed for the better? Michael gives his expertise below.

All performance referenced is historical and is no guarantee of future results. All indices are unmanaged and may not be invested into directly.
Once again, the precipitous decline in the value of the Chinese stock market has spilled over to the broader global financial markets. The value of the Shanghai Index declined almost 15% since the beginning of the year, or at least the beginning of our year. China's social and economic life is geared around the lunar New Year, which will be celebrated on February 8, 2016. The New Year makes a big difference in China, both psychologically and in real economic activity. Workers in China have seven days off and many travel home to visit family. In one week, years of migration from rural areas to cities is reversed, at least temporarily.
Investors are revisiting issues last considered in August — primarily, the connection between China's stock market and economy and the broader implications for the global economy. Our basic views on China remain consistent. China's short-lived stock market bubble burst, but there is little connection between the market and the economy. China is undergoing a painful, but necessary, rebalancing of its economy away from strong government-led infrastructure and manufacturing-based development and toward a more consumer-led and service-based activity. We believe that China's government still has the resources to smooth this transition. However, new risks are appearing. Many of China's recent problems appear to be self-inflicted, caused by poorly designed or communicated government policies. China has taken steps to liberalize aspects of its financial markets without the intended result. We will detail some of these new policies and factors and how they may impact China, in addition to the rest of the world.
A number of key U.S. and global economic reports are due out this week (January 4 – 8, 2016), as investors return from the holiday break and refocus on many of the same issues that bedeviled the market in 2015, including the price of oil and the signal it is sending about the health of the global economy. As markets look ahead to the start of fourth quarter 2015 earnings reporting season, which won't kick into high gear until late January 2016, the price of oil and its impact on business capital spending and manufacturing remain as key concerns.
The reports out this week on the manufacturing sector include:
- Markit Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for manufacturing for December 2015, which was released as this commentary was being published
- Institute of Supply Management's (ISM) Report on Business Manufacturing Index for December 2015, which was also released as this commentary was being published
- November 2015 factory shipments and orders report
- December 2015 employment report, and specifically the job count in the manufacturing sector

Western medicine has always been the familiar approach towards healing the body from sickness and injury. However, many people are unaware that traditional remedies can be just as effective. Alternative treatment such as acupuncture, chiropractic, and ventosa has existed for centuries, and remains the underground procedures towards good health. In fact, these methods could be just as, if not, even more effective than the average pill and at times, can relieve the malaise that western medicine can't.
Lunas Tradisyonal brings you the rare opportunity to alleviate and eliminate the pains that have hampered your body from performing at its best. The 6-month project offers D&L personnel the chance to try out these traditional methods that have been known to cure a vast range of common illnesses such as: hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia (abnormal levels of cholesterol).
The project, spearheaded by D&L HRD in partnership with Natural Health Foundation of the Philippines and Lao Foundation, Inc. commenced on July 13 2015, and the number of participants are growing each week. Below are some written testimonials from those who have taken part in the project:
Bhernadette Mae Recaido from the Accounting Department of D&L Industries has been suffering from gastritis and scoliosis for the past four years. "Before, I used to suffer mild pain every time I felt hungry or very full, sometimes bloated. After 2 sessions [of Lunas Tradisyonal acupuncture], I noticed regular bowel movement and relaxed stomach during intake of food."
Hector Esguerra from CTIBD-Production: "Before, almost everyday, I experienced feelings of bloatedness and discomfort every time I ate meals. But now [after 2 sessions of acupuncture] I can say that it is improving because I can move with ease and less pain."
An anonymous source stated: "There is discomfort during waking hours in the morning in the area of the nose. But four days after the 1st acupuncture [session] on the nose, there was a slight but noticeable improvement already"

To make the necklaces based on the three fairy tale dresses I used two layers of crisp organza silk for each. The edge of the darker layer is left raw and turned up to blend in like rays or a halo.
The darker yellow for the sun was dyed with my home grown dyer's chamomile and the lighter with nettle tops. The moon is undyed white and a mix of steam printed flowers. The starry one is made with two shades of intense indigo.
The beads come from a wonderful bead shop I visited while on holiday in Prague. It was hard to choose from all the beautiful faceted glass, some in two tones.
So here they are all finished and will be going in the shop shortly.

Finally I've decided to adjust the audio system of my car.
|What there was:
During four years I own this car I had made many alterations in my leisure time when I was free from other work. Several times everything was changed: I bought, sold, listened, burned out and repaired.
|How it was:
As it is not always enough time for car sound because of high work load, I didn't even adjust the car system, replacing components from my likes or dislikes perspective. And changing the equalizer presets. So, in short the system was set by ear.
Ужас неправда ли:)
|How it is now:
To begin with, I had found in the dark corner of my garage the old crossovers from the HERTZ HSK163.3. set. The three way passive crossovers with possibility to adjust (-2_0_+2). It was decided to switch the midrange speakers and mid-bass to crossovers and leave twitters on the separate channels of the amplifier. Why this way? As the practice has shown, the difference of sound sensation level (gain) on the amplifier varies two times; it is for achieving acceptable sound I had to turn out full gain for mid-bass and half this much for high- and mid-frequencies. the value of attenuator on the crossovers *** of the midrange was +2 dB as the midrange speakers were built into the door covering without additional damping and gave faint sound. I'd say that I wasn't mistaken in my calculations.
But still I had main part of all installation to be done. It is tuning!
|What was heard?
For measuring AFC and adjusting it I used our new device USB RTA METER(pro edition).
What can be said about the sound? Flat AFC is good when the car is standing still. Everything is on its place and everything sounds good. But once you take off, the noise of the road, in spite of all the noise isolation, begins to choke up the low-frequency range. But it can be solved by changing the head unit equalizer settings at 80 Hz frequency from -2 to -1. Because of proper separation of the components we got read of the jumble in the sound and received detailed sound. I'll drive, listen and adjust the system further.

WOYWW 212: The one where she has limited motivation
Isn't my little rocking horse a cutie? She (yep, this one is a sweet girl) sits on a window sill in my office. I love that the wood has been burned, probably with a burning tool. I assure you, she wasn't hurt in the process, either.
Usual caveat: if visiting from Julia's, please leave your number so I don't miss you.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for dropping by. Glad you like the kookaburra. The song is an old one ... "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Merry, merry king of the bush is he, etc, etc," It was always sung as a round ... many, many years ago!
Have a good week,

It's how I do it - except with a bigger basket of stamps - the longer they stay there, the more I use them!! (that's my 'not tidying up' excuse!!)
It is indeed our dining room although officially it's a Conservatory because it has a glass roof and the walls are all windows...very popular here as a way to extend small properties without too much building and permissions required, and to harvest whatever heat and light we can!!

This is my 1st ever WOYWW, I think the 1st time I ever saw those letters was on your blog. Now I'll get to see what's on WOYWW every week. I love the little rocking horses.
I hope you will get a chance at somepoint to pop over and check out my WOYWW. I am already a loyal follower, and a follower on Linky.
I'm also doing SOC challenge, so I get to see lots of your beautiful work this summer. :) Your blog gave me the courage to make my own altered art journal. Than you. Hope you have a great week.

Wow your rocking horse is so cute, I love the wood effect and the burning it's beautiful. I don't want to ruin the surprise but I was wondering if you have received my ATC yet?

Hi everyone!
Two posts in one day!?
I can't explain it. It just happened! Ok, there are always things I could be doing other than working on minis. Given a choice, I usually chose minis! The last few months, I have not put much time into them or even the blog choosing to do other things. Well, I had fun, but minis were always in the back of my mind.
And then it happened! I saw Hey it's Muff's last post. It was on organizing her fashion dolls et al. When you go to her blog you can be sure you will come away having learned something new, fun and useful! I wish I were as skilled as she is. Her blog is such a positive place and her pleasant, friendly and playful personality really shines through as she shares her knowledge with everyone! Isn't that why we all log into mini world? Stop by her blog and educate yourself while having a few giggles.
Anyway, something inside of me became motivated and I started cleaning, sorting and organizing my doll studio like a mad woman! The more I did, the more...I did! That was the answer! Clutter and disorganization dampened my creativity. Before then every time I would go in there I would do a little then just stand there not knowing what to work on next and I wasn't satisfied with what I did work on.
Now, I have created the Barbie section in the outer room liked I always wanted. I had to dismantle my beloved park. I tried setting it up in another location temporarily. It has to be moved to a better spot that will give it justice.
In my madness I got an idea for a high rise office building overlooking a park in the 1:12 room. I like it because it adds a modern-urban look. I may tweak it and remove most of the park area out front.
Today is the third day and I still have the organization bug! Sometimes we just need a little positive energy from our friends.
Thanks Muff! :-)
Two views of the table with the office high rise and part of the park in the front. They are two shelves one placed on top of the sideways one on the bottom. I like them because they add a touch of urbanism to the 1:12 room. I like the atrium area.
I have two more shelving sections left. Wondering where they may pop up. hmmm
|These guys are just hanging out in the lobby for now :-)
|The partially finished bathroom in the big house. Some things like the tub tile wouldn't cooperate. I have a few more great features waiting to be installed
That is a window frame on the left wall. It is not attached. I could not find just the right window scene to go in there. Then my printer would not function right sometimes. I had to back off for a while. There are a lot of accessories waiting to be added to the room. Note the chalkboard menu specials sign on the front left
|I tried out the logo on to-go bags and a menu
|Here are the new glass shelves in the mall candy store. I still need to make lots more candy to fill them! Click on the picture to see the details!
|A bit more work and I will be finished. The candy dispenser on the left wall is micro beads glued into acrylic battery packaging. The shelving in the top picture on the right wall used to be scrabble tile holders now painted red.
More pictures to come soon!

The Company
Hippo Hug weighted blankets was founded in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, by Leslie Brooks in October 2011. Leslie saw an opportunity to combine her love of sewing with her passion for helping people. In early 2011 Leslie created a custom-made weighted sleep sack for a client with Autism who was seeking deep pressure at night. She saw the opportunity for a small business venture, and with the encouragement of her husband began the journey of entrepreneurship. Hippo Hug was born. And as the business grew, Leslie's knowledge of all the people that could be helped by a weighted blanket also grew.
Hippo Hug has gone from a small home-based business that made 60 blankets in its first year to a full-fledged manufacturing operation, shipping blankets across Canada and the U.S. In 2016, Hippo Hug saw huge growth, completing over 500 blankets and moving into a manufacturing space. Hippo Hug has three part-time employees and Leslie full-time at the helm. Everyone at Hippo Hug loves helping people find a solution. We are committed to making sure a weighted blanket will work for you and finding the size and weight that will fit you best. We pride ourselves on compassion and customer service.

I've hated my body in varying degrees from mild disorientation and annoyance all the way up to full-fledged thinking that being a brain in a jar would be preferable, as long as I can remember. There have been a few stretches where it let up: one in college, when my health was better than it had ever been before and better than it's likely to ever be again, so that I didn't have all the weight of life with systemic disease, and again in my mid-30s when I was doing a lot of live-action roleplaying and to do a lot of costuming. Other than that…let's just say that I felt an immediate bond with Clive Barker's early short stories and their sympathetic portrayal of the monstrous as a superior alternative to the normally human.
I've been shaving my face more carefully and closely, and finally got through the last of the very thick accumulation above my upper lips. Wow. These are, if I do say so myself, not bad lips at all. When I learn to make them up properly, they'll be quite the adornment.
Now I've added shaving of my arms and legs. Tonight was my first time getting them really pretty much all the way smooth. There are, of course, some nicks and cuts, but I've gotten worse just trying to hold my cat still long enough to trim his nails. And tonight, as I sit here drying off…I'm not loathing my limbs much at all.
I am not, or at least I hope I'm not, subscribing to a too-vigorous endorsement of an oppressive standard of femininity. I'm aware of some of the traps involved in succumbing to stereotypical goals. Rather, I regard this as a sort of notional clearing of the decks – the equivalent of plowing a weed-filled field down to pure dirt, then planting something fresh. I have years of effort ahead of me, and I'm treating this a happy step that is mostly good for my morale during the slog to come.

"It took a while for me to pull the trigger on getting a pair of these shoes because of the almost ridiculus look of it and the crazy colors. I tried them on a few times in stores before getting them and am I glad I finally did. They actually work. I'm 6'1" and 230ish lbs and when running in them I find I can go further than normal and that my legs dont hurt/arent as sore as normal, including my knees from running on concrete. I am sold and have suggested them to all my friends. I bought the black/yellow 1st gen pair . You can't go wrong. As far as the mesh being too thin/not strong as some have suggested, I dont buy it. I am rough on my shoes and have logged probably 150 miles on these along with wearing them w/jeans occasionally and have had no problems."

U2start cannot function without it's crew, who are responsible for maintaining the website and keeping everything going smoothly on a day-to-day basis. We are be happy to introduce them all to you:
The core crew contains of two people who are responsible for U2start contents and website development. For any website questions in general you can contact one of us.
Remy is a U2start's founder, born in 1986 and living in Holland. For U2start, started in 2006, Remy does a lot of content management, website development and all U2start administration in general.
Chris joined U2start in 2009 and has been a great asset to the team. Thanks to Chris we have introduced great things like LiveTopics and a brand new show catalogue. Chris is mainly working on website development, management and working with Remy on the future of U2start.
U2start's photo collection is unique, there is no place on the internet where fans can view so many concert photos in such amazing quality and order. We couldn't have such a collection without the photo moderators.
Marta has a passion for photos, and uploaded quite a few of them in her time on U2start. She helps us maintaining our archive.
If you ask a random U2start photo fan who he or she thinks uploaded the most photos in our collection, the answer probably will be Nanazoca. We are happy to have her on board to keep it the best collection in the world.
Matt has been around for many years on U2start and helps us create featured content such as background articles and in-depth stories around U2.
A U2start fan from the start, our culture keeper, always keeping an eye on what's going on. Gerard always had and will have great value for U2start, for which we are him eternally grateful.
U2start's day to day crew helps out with day to day management tasks such as maintaining a presence on the forums and being involved in activities that involve the site as a whole. These very valued crew members help maintaining and expanding our entire U2 collection, from photos to shows.
One of our most involved fans in the history of U2start. Sergio always has great ideas, great content, and a forever lasting presence. There wouldn't be a U2start without Sergio.
Tim is always eager to share more with U2 fans, which is why he focusses a lot on including sample recordings in our audio recordings and making sure all the show info is correct.
Drew is one of our longtime members and knows U2start better than a lot of others. Drew will be helping us maintaining our huge show collection and also keep an eye on the forum activity.
Nicole is primarily involved in maintaining our show collection.
César helps out with anything that is U2 and U2start related, his primary efforts concern how to make our show collection better and available to more fans.
Davide has a background in programming and is eager to help out where he can in making U2start an even better place for U2 fans.

The Ergohuman Plus with Notebook Stand isn't nearly as nice, but it is only about 20% of the cost if you can find a retailer (I haven't found one in the United States). The biggest disadvantage would be that I don't think the arm would be strong enough for a second monitor.
Checked out the Ergohuman Plus online - sweet! Personally, I'm in the Chicago burbs so it's just a dream.
Found a little more about the Altwork on Wired's site and Engadget. I think for all you do for us in the forums, Worden can spare a few bucks :)
Crazy chair...... :-)
It would be cheaper to attach a monitor to a Barcalounger. :)
Better, but still needs a cupholder ...

How do you stay awake in a chair like that? would need a hookup for a cafeine infusion system.
That's what TC2000 Alerts are for - in case I nod off ;)
Wow really? haha theses chairs are insane
traders should stand
Stand if you like. I walk over 10,000 steps a day. I run. I work out with kettlebells. When I trade, I sit on my ass and make money. ;)

Jesse Livermore:
"Money is made by sitting not trading."
Who is this Jesse Livermore guy?
Didn't he pitch for the Chicago Cubs in the 50's?
What does he know about trading?? ;)
There's nothing healthful about making a sedentary lifestyle more sedentary.
Deskbound workers do much better by effecting some level of hormonal entrainment, and the first way to do this is to recruit muscle more actively throughout the day. The first way to do THAT is to stand at a mininum.
I'm not sure what "entrainment" means, but I get in more physical activity before the opening bell than most folks get all day.
And while I'm an intraday trader, I don't sit and stair at my screens all day. A focused watchlist and scans & alerts (gotta love technology) afford me plenty of time to stand and walk around. And when I have a good morning and the weather cooperates, I go golfing in the afternoon (sans golf cart, of course).
Blood work and all other physical markers are just fine. I monitor them as closely as I monitor my portfolio.
Looks like they're ready to start delivering this month. Woohoo!

State & Local Taxation
The state and local tax landscape has changed drastically over the past few years. No longer is state and local tax policy administered through informal channels and in cooperation with neighboring states. The states now operate in a very competitive environment juggling job growth, fiscal demands, changing ways of doing business and the mobility of their respective tax bases. The result is a complex state tax environment .
Multiply the complexity by 50 different taxing schemes, encompassing 15-20 taxes each, as well as municipalities. It is a system fraught with multiple taxation, complex technical issues and burdensome compliance requirements.
Our state and local tax (SALT) professionals understand the dynamic state and local tax environment. We assist our clients in navigating this complex system of taxation for permanent, recurring savings as well as tax deferral, while ensuring the effective management of risk. We view our role to be that of an advocate for our client, helping to educate, minimize and comply in this complex arena.
Andersen Tax can assist with all areas of state and local taxation including:

On our trip back from Dallas after the holidays, we spent a couple days gambling away our savings with my moms and pops in Shreveport Louisiana. What the hell right, with the economy doing so bad and me not having a job, it seemed almost stupid NOT to gamble.
We stayed at the Horseshoe Casino. Shreveport is just like Vegas, except it's not at all like Vegas and it's dirty.
On the first night me and the wife played roulette. We kept winning, oddly enough, so we were at the table for about two hours. While there I was placing chips on the table for the next roll as my Nick Senses started tingling. I heard liquid hitting the ground as someone started brushing up against my back. When right behind me there was such a clatter, I turned my head to see what was the matter. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, it was an obese drunk man spilling his beer.
OK enough of that shit. I saw a really fat dude bending over behind me. He had a beer under his arm. The beer was spilling all over the floor and my sweet puma kicks. Before I could even move my foot the man teetered my way and started futilely grasping at me as he toppled over. I tried in vein to help him not fall over, but it was as if he was being pulled to the ground by magic or ghosts, or a magic ghost with wizard powers.
He falls over and I think he's having a heart attack. He eventually gets up and without an apology, places a bet on our table, loses, then vanishes in the night like a magic ghost wizard.
I learned next that Nancy had seen everything and she told me that the man was obviously a little drunk. She said he had dropped a chip, was trying to pick it up, but was so fat he couldn't bend over. You guys know what followed suit. I was almost crushed to death by a fat dude in a casino, how would I have explained that one to St. Peter.
The next night we were at the very same roulette table, and on the other side of the room we hear a loud thump. Looking up from our gambling problem, we see an old woman sitting on the ground. She seems OK and there are several people around her telling her not to get up. She sits on the floor for about 10 minutes. During that time me and Nancy finish up our sinful and wasteful ways at the roulette table. We walk around the casino for about a minute and end up over by where the woman had fallen down, just in time to watch three security guards pushing her, now seated on a stool, up to the craps table. Ah, a happy ending after all.
As I stated in my last blog entry, we had a flat on the way home. At first I thought God was mad at me and Nancy for gambling. We were 80 bucks ahead after all. The new tire cost a total of 60 bucks, almost wiping out our winnings. I then told Nancy God was telling us not to gamble. But then cooler heads prevailed and I realized, it was God telling us to gamble MORE, so we could afford three new tires instead of one. I love God.
Now on to the actual title of this blog entry. We went to an outlet mall while in Shreveport called the Boardwalk. While there we did some shopping. One of the stores we went to was the Shoe Rack.
It's no secret that I'm not the tallest creature God ever created. I stand at a whopping 5'4", if I'm not slouching. My shoe size is average in comparison to my height and the size of my penis, men's seven and a half.
I've shopped for shoes my whole life and I've discovered they don't make many pairs of shoes in my size. That or there are a shit ton of short and proud men wondering the earth.
While perusing the shoes I noticed something that troubled me. The shelving went all the way to the ceiling, about 7 feet up, and all the shoes were arranged from largest sizes at the bottom to smaller sizes at the top. Someone didn't think this out very well. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that if a person has smaller feet, then they are probably not very tall, and visa versa. So why in the hell are the smaller shoes up above me just out of my reach.
I can only think it's a horribly nasty trick to make me feel even more inadequate about my height. I bet Randy Newman has stock in the Shoe Rack.

gift labels and many other things
Here's some pics of the gift labels!
The button badges are a freebie with local orders, and the gift tags with international orders (so that I don't have to deal with customs - paper goods are much easier).
Aaaaand, to add more madness to the day, an interview I did with Triple J radio apparently starts airing today! I think it's only a minute long and gets aired a few times during the week. So I'm keeping an ear out. Gee I really hope I don't sound stupid. The interviewer Jen was really lovely and she said she'd do her best to make me sound good, but hopefully I gave her enough good material to work with! You can read the accompanying online article here. I say "artsy crafty" way too much.

Oer. Will you be selling the letterpress gift tags?

Looks as though I'm a tad late commenting on this post! I've been attached to your fabrics for some time now and just found your blog.
I'm in the middle of trying to design my wedding invites (as someone who is not actually a graphic designer), and I saw these gift tags... the little sprigs with leaves and those tiny little birdies are exactly what i've imagined!
by any chance do you still have the images you used for these? would you consider letting me purchase the image from you for printing my invites? I'm going to print them myself using gocco.
either way, your blog and all your things are so lovely!
