Japan Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida vowed to work closely with newly appointed US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy to strengthen bilateral relations between the defense allies.
Kishida told US Secretary of State John Kerry over the telephone that Kennedy's arrival in Tokyo has been "very much welcomed."
The two also discussed issues both faced by their countries such as Iran's nuclear capabilities, which they believe would be best addressed through close cooperation, according to the Foreign Ministry.
They discussed their countries' coordinated disaster-relief response to the typhoon-ravaged Philippines. The US has pledged more than $10 million in aid and mobilized about 50 US ships and aircraft carriers, including the Boeing C-17 cargo plane, to assist relief efforts in hard to reach areas in central Philippines.
In addition to aid worth $30 million, Japan has sent a medical team of 25 doctors, nurses and pharmacists to hard-hit Tacloban city. The Asian nation promised to send up to 1,000 SDF troops and two Japanese warships.
Kennedy arrived in Tokyo on Friday and spent her first day in office meeting with officials at the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
"I bring greetings from President Obama," Kennedy said in a short statement after getting off the plane with her husband Edwin Schlossberg at Narita airport.
"I am also proud to carry forward my father's legacy of public service," said Kennedy, the sole surviving child of assassinated US President John F. Kennedy.
"He had hoped to be the first US president to visit Japan. So it is a special honor for me to be able to work to strengthen the close ties between our two great countries."
Kennedy is playing a pivotal role as the new envoy to Japan, a key US ally. She is also the first woman to serve as ambassador to Japan, and could serve as something of a role model to women in Japan. Yesterday, huge crowds awaited her as she made her way in a horse-drawn carriage to present her credentials to the Emperor, giving proof that the Kennedy mystique has its power here as well.

Granite is very difficult to scratch and stain resistant; we use a 10 year sealer that eliminates the yearly sealing process. Be aware that because granite is 100% natural stone, there will be colour variations as well as tiny pits and fissures in it. Also, granite will have visible seams.

In the natural stone industry, there are many different qualities of stone, and it is our mission to make sure we offer ONLY the best quality.

Effects of Clitoral Surgery (Minto et al)
"Our results indicate that individuals who have had clitoral surgery are more likely than those who have not to report a complete failure to achieve orgasm and higher rates of non-sensuality—in particular, a lack of enjoyment in being caressed and in caressing their partner's body."
"Our findings suggest that adult sexual function could be compromised by feminising clitoral surgery. Infants and young children are powerless to oppose any procedures, so genital surgery for them is not just a medical issue but also a moral one. Debate over ethics with interested parties should be encouraged and clinicians should advance the debate and help individuals and families to make the best possible decisions by producing reliable information. Many surgeons will undoubtedly feel justified in doubting the findings of this study, and will fall back on the traditional response of claiming that current techniques are more advanced than the surgical procedures we assessed. Although surgery has advanced in many ways, this is not a valid reason for complacency. In this study surgery was done 8-40 years ago, and most individuals had undergone clitorectomy. Of the three sexually active participants who had undergone the newer technique of nerve-sparing clitoral reduction, however, two had the worst possible score for orgasm difficulties(orgasm subscale score of 9)."
Minto, Catherine L., Lih-Mei Liao, Christopher R. J. Woodhouse, Philip G. Ransley, and Sarah M. Creighton. 2003. The effects of clitoral surgery on sexual outcome in individuals who have intersex conditions with ambiguous genitalia: a cross sectional study. Lancet 361:1252.

Loser Takes All #1
Tad's weekend started out like any other; hitting a college frat party with a handful of buddies. But just as the evening hits its peak, things get up-ended fast. Ditched by his drunken, trolling friends, Tad winds up getting hustled by three jocks playing poker. Now he's forced to pay his dues in the most outlandish of ways; accepting a couple broken bones or spending an hour with his victors' favorite flogger, Scott. But the guy's tantalizing torture quickly proves to be the least of Tad's worries… and the kickoff to a night of raw, shocking lust.
Experience the graphic, minute-by-minute account of that hour spent at the hands of Tad's insatiable tormentor. Addicting chemistry lights the stage as Scott ignites Tad's reluctant desires into a frenzy of forbidden need.
Test of Endurance #2
The last time Tad saw Scott, the ripped physical trainer left him with quite a lot to think about. And that's pretty much all Tad's been doing for nearly two weeks straight. At his wit's end, he seeks Scott out, voluntarily, on his own terms. Will the completely different setting offer what he's seeking; proof that their exchange's unexpected turn was just a random mishap? Hormones run amok and truly nothing more? Or will being in Scott's presence suggest something different... their newest encounter tempting Tad's resolve while testing his ultimate limits.
Sideline Submission #3
Round two with Scott hadn't been what Tad expected, but it did end up providing a few important realizations. For one, that crazy first encounter was definitely more than mere male hormones. Which meant he felt a true attraction to the guy. Something that explained his defenselessness against Scott's smoldering charms. Seriously, the dude had cut through his fortifications like the things hadn't even existed.
Which, yeah, was pretty unsettling.
So Tad had resolved to cope with his findings the only logical way he knew how: purge the guy from his system once and for all by staying away for good. Unfortunately, that proved way more uncomfortable than he'd anticipated. Seemed his 'stupid infatuation' ran considerably deeper, which made going cold-turkey one miserable chore.
So when Scott unexpectedly seeks him out, Tad's too drained to fight his turmoil any longer. Allowing himself a much needed fix, he agrees to hang out, neither he nor Scott knowing Dom boy Max will end up part of the deal. What starts out as an unassuming evening quickly turns shockingly licentious. Question is, will Tad be able to handle it? And more importantly, what path will it send him down in his ongoing journey of discovery?
Prized Possession #4
With Tad's reservations firmly on the one-eighty, he's finally more at ease exploring this intriguing new part of himself, especially where his attraction, and affections, for Scott are concerned. But when their plans get cancelled, Tad winds up watching the guy in action at the gym instead. Kickboxing lessons lead to sparring, which in turn leads to a face-off more erotic than Tad could have ever imagined. Huge new boundaries crossed, both men are floored like never before. Have these milestones finally put all Tad's hang-ups solidly behind him?
Bringing it Home #5
It's Friday night and Tad finds himself doing pretty much what he'd expected. Celebrating with his friends at a night club in honor of their buddy Breck's birthday. The music's pumping, drinks are flowing, as laughter and dancing bodies abound.
Nothing too outlandish, nothing unusual.
Until Scott and his own crew show up at the place. Funny how the one person Tad prefers above all others is the last person he wants to see. But now that he's spotted the guy across the room, he can't seem to take his eyes off him. Which winds up being a very bad thing. Seems Scott out in public with other attractive men is a much different story than Tad's used to.
As one disturbing event after another unfolds, Tad splits before he loses his mind. But the breather he needs he does not get. In fact, things just go from bad to worse, the night ending on a note he never would have imagined. As things between Scott and him hit rock bottom, the only direction left must be up. If only Tad's life would follow such a formula. But the path he's been walking lately has never been that simple.
With a world of revelations finally revealed, can Tad find it in himself to make peace with Scott's past so they can finally head into the future?

Years ago, the term "eco-friendly fashion" conjured up images of people living in a commune wearing ugly burlap sack dresses and hemp sandals. Thankfully, eco-friendly apparel is now not just great for the environment, but also stylish too. In 2011, make a commitment to wear more socially-conscious, environmentally-friendly apparel.
What is eco-friendly fashion?
Eco-friendly fashions are produced by companies that treat both their workers and the earth ethically. Their materials are grown, processed and packaged in the most eco-conscious ways possible. In recent years, as more and more people around the globe are "going green," fashion has followed suit with many eco-friendly labels and retailers emerging. Created with environmentally-friendly processed and sustainable, recyclable materials, eco-friendly is now also eco-chic.
Choose sustainable materials
Sustainable materials go beyond hemp and organic cotton. Vegan silk, bamboo fibers and soy silk (derived from the waste of tofu) are all sustainable. Materials created from seaweed pulp, some Japanese leaves and wood pulp are also fantastic sustainable choices. Lyocell is a fabric that feels like silk but is created from naturally-occurring cellulose in wood pulp that is usually discarded.
Linda Loudermilk
For many years, Linda Loudermilk created chic fashions that were also environmentally-friendly but she was one of the few that accomplished this. Today, her clothing line is as hot as ever. Trendy and chic, you can find Linda Loudermilk designs at boutiques around the country. To find a shop in your area that features the eco-friendly Linda Loudermilk line, visit her website at lindaloudermilk.com.
At Bamboosa, they use bamboo fiber to create apparel and baby products. Bamboo is a fantastic option for clothing. It's actually softer than cotton and wicks moisture away from skin to keep you dry, clean and comfortable. If grown without pesticides, bamboo fiber is 100% biodegradable. It offers natural UV protection, is anti-fungal and also thermal-regulating. Bamboosa has eliminated chlorine from their dyeing process. Chlorine releases carcinogens into the air. They also utilize recycled packaging and eco-friendly processing. Check out more about Bamboosa at bamboosa.com.
The GreenShows
The GreenShows Eco Fashion Week takes place in New York. Throughout the week, fashion shows, trade shows, seminars and pop-up shows highlight designers that are embracing sustainability and preservation of the earth. Local, national and international designers, manufacturers and retailers display some of the most chic, high-quality, eco-friendly clothing available. Visit thegreenshows.com to learn about The GreenShows and the different fashion labels and designers involved.
Shop smart
Together, our collective choices from day to day have serious, long-term effects on the planet. From fuel to clothing and everything in between, our shopping decisions should be made with an eco-friendly mindset. In 2011, make a commitment to seek out eco-friendly fashions made with sustainable materials and ethical processes. You and the world will be better for it.

Garden design and history
The grounds first recorded occupation was in 1180 by Premonstratensian canons. After various subsequent owners including several generations of the Francke family, the grounds reverted to farming and market gardening in the 18th and 19th centuries. The current layout nearest the house is probably by Basil Ionides and Wykeham Chancellor in the early 20th century.
More recently different generations of the Foyle family have extended the planted areas and added features such as a statue of Beeleigh Abbey's founder. The last few years in particular, since the purchase in 2000 by Christopher and Catherine Foyle, have seen considerable improvements with further projects in hand.
What to see in season
The three acres of garden are surrounded by mature trees which on the northern boundary give way to a tidal stretch of the River Chelmer. Within this area, a range of different individual gardens and water features can be found.
April starts the season with primroses, daffodils and tulips, together with camellias, magnolias and fruit blossom. A further 3,000 bulbs were planted in autumn 2016
May has spring bedding, and bulbs displayed in the mixed borders, along with magnolias and rhododendrons. Enjoy the bluebells that lead down to the river, and then later in the month the wisteria arches that divide the soft fruit garden from the rose garden.
In June roses take centre stage now totalling around 600, from the formal rose garden & hybrid tea bed to many shrub, climbing & rambling roses.
In Julythe cottage, bog gardens and meadow are at their best, with the kitchen and soft fruit gardens full of produce.
In August summer bedding displays are at their peak. The extensive mixed borders are now full of colour with many different perennials & shrubs.
September sees the roses put on another great display. Harvest time in the kitchen garden & orchard.
Directions to the Abbey: leaving Maldon via London Road, take first right after Cemetery into Abbey Turning. Post code CM9 6LL
There is level access to most of the garden, with gravel paths and some gentle slopes. One of the toilets can be accessed by wheelchair.
Groups of potential visitors are most welcome but should first contact
Call 07506 867122 for advise on catering and transport, especially as the narrow approach road is unsuitable for some types of coaches
Children must be supervised at all times because of potential hazards such as unfenced deep water.
Assistance dogs only please.
The new main lawn project is now complete
The objective to this project was to divide up the large main lawn and to add more pathways to connect existing areas. To add a focal point to the walkways a 3 tiered water feature & pool was created. To edge the long pathway a low yew hedge & 12 large standard yews were planted. The other pathway is edged with over 140 lavender (Munsted) & 12 standard roses (Winchester Cathedral).
Christopher Foyle has fulfilled a long term personal ambition to produce a book about his home in Maldon. It gives the detailed history of the place, its previous owners including his own family, and a description of the buildings and their gardens. Some 98 pages long it is beautifully illustrated throughout and easy to read.
Fancy taking part in this year's Mud Race on Sunday May 12?
The Maldon Mud Race is an annual event in which hundreds of competitors raise money for charity by racing to be the first to complete a 400 metre dash over over the bed of the River Blackwater.

In this post, I'll be focusing on the dresser. When it was being moved, some of the black paint on it got scrapped off and some white paint also got scrapped onto it. I honestly have no idea how the white paint got there. Originally, I was going to get some black paint and touch-up the damage. However, after taking a step back and looking at it, I saw that the dresser now had a cool distressed look.
So, I decided to leave the front and sides as is. However, the top of the dresser just looks like a cat scratched it up.
The good news about where I'm living is that there's a dollar store right down the street. So, I went there and picked up a roll of patterned contact paper.
The edges of the paper didn't come out as neatly as I wanted. Maybe I could use washi tape to cover those parts up. Or something else. An idea will come to me sooner or later.
For now, the top of the dresser has been taken care of. Next on the to-do list is finally getting around to replacing the old drawer pulls with the glass ones that I got for Christmas. Til next time.

Gov. Sam Brownback is trying to sell the tax plan he has outlined this year as only one part of a multi-year effort to position Kansas to phase out personal income taxes, but he faces a backlash from legislators viewing tax issues with a shorter-term perspective.
Brownback continues to receive praise in national conservative circles for his commitment to phasing out individual income taxes to spur long-term economic growth. Kansas enacted massive individual income tax cuts last year, and fellow Republican governors are at least talking about following suit.
But to keep Kansas from becoming a cautionary tale, Brownback and the state's GOP-dominated Legislature must stabilize the state budget, too. Even as Brownback promises future reductions in individual income tax rates, he's pushing to eliminate two popular income tax deductions for homeowners and to cancel a decrease in the sales tax scheduled for July.
Democrats and some Republicans have attacked this year's tax plan from Brownback as a big net tax increase over the next three years. The Department of Revenue responded last week with new projections showing the revenue-raising measures still don't offset last year's tax cuts. The governor's allies contend lawmakers must view both together and remember the long-term goal – though they acknowledge doing so is difficult in a Statehouse focused on annual budgets and biennial elections.
"You really get lost in all the details," said Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a conservative Hutchinson Republican and Brownback ally. "You're obsessed to a certain extent with just the next vote a lot of times."
The Senate plans to debate tax legislation this week, and most of Brownback's plan cleared its Assessment and Taxation Committee. Bruce is confident that Republicans, who hold a 32-8 majority, will rally around the governor's proposals, but Democrats plan to offer their own plan, and some GOP alternatives are possible.
Brownback wants to phase in a second round of cuts in individual income tax rates over the next four years. His plan also would trigger further rate reductions in the future if economic growth is robust, though there's no specific date for the end of the personal income tax.
To stabilize the budget, Brownback is proposing to eliminate income tax deductions that Kansans receive for the property taxes on their homes and the interest on their home mortgages. Also, he'd keep the sales tax at its current rate of 6.3 percent, rather than letting it drop to 5.7 percent in July, as promised by budget-balancing legislation three years ago.
The Senate committee's version preserves the deduction for property taxes but scraps the mortgage interest and sales tax breaks. The bill would net the state $918 million in new revenues over the next three years, before taxpayers saw most of the benefit from cutting individual income tax rates further.
Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan contends it's unfair to think of this year's proposals in isolation. His department projects that last year's reductions will save taxpayers almost $2.7 billion during the same three years, more than offsetting any revenue-raising measures proposed this year.
And Brownback made the same revenue-raising proposals last year in pushing to reduce income tax rates and exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes altogether. A balky Legislature passed the big cuts but jettisoned unpopular "pay-fors" the governor had sought to create a "glide path" without budget problems. Brownback signed the result, arguing that overly aggressive tax cuts were better for the economy than the status quo.
"If we would have had the pay-fors that were proposed last year passed, we would be in a totally different situation," Jordan said last week.
Yet some legislators view last year's cuts as history and focus on what Brownback's latest plan does going forward. Democrats who argued that last year's cuts were reckless now portray the Republican governor as a tax-increaser.
At least a few conservative Republicans wonder why Kansas would miss the opportunity presented by last year's tax cuts to downsize state government. They're also wary of approving revenue-raising measures this year with only a promise that personal income taxes eventually could be phased out thanks to the governor's plan.
"I want to talk about what it does today," said Sen. Dennis Pyle, a conservative Hiawatha Republican.
Yet Brownback retains the backing of national conservative figures.
Grover Norquist, president of the influential anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform, said it's easy to understand the skepticism facing Brownback this year. Norquist said in the past, proposals to eliminate tax breaks have been designed to support new spending and increase the size of government.
"This is just a different question than they've ever seen before," Norquist said.
The fate of the tax plan Brownback is offering this year may rest on GOP legislators coming to the same conclusion.

Mining microblogs using semantic technologies
October 25, 2010 5 Comments
The framework for the tool that I will develop fits like a puzzle piece in a bigger system that is being developed in the research group "Social Learning" at Graz University of Technology. Selver Softic from Infonova GmbH and Ebner et al. from Social Learning recently wrote a paper about their ongoing research efforts aiming at knowledge discovery. They are aiming to provide a scientific architecture paradigm for building semantic applications that rely on social data. At the moment they are focussing on data from Twitter, like me. For this purpose they have implemented a tool Grabeteer for storing and caching social data. In this paper they outlined the architecture for a system that can extract, structure and link the data grabbed from Twitter by the Grabeteer. Read more of this post

The Internet was abuzz Wednesday night and for all the wrong reasons. Anyone who spent even a minute on Twitter quickly was reminded that Wednesday night was Sharknado night.
The debut of "Sharknado 2: The Second One" had many people talking — and many people making fun of the ridiculous sequel to the equally ridiculous 2013 film. The second go-around featured a "star"-studded cast of has-beens and washed-up celebrities, which seemed to go hand in hand with the absurd plot of a shark-filled tornado ravaging cities.
One of the B-list celebrities making a cameo in the sequel was none other than pro wrestler Kurt Angle. The 45-year-old currently is wrestling in the fledgling TNA, but he spent a handful of good years in the WWF/WWE. Coincidentally, Thursday actually also marks the 18-year anniversary of Angle winning the gold medal in freestyle wrestling (real wrestling) at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
Angle's no stranger to acting, either, as he has appeared or will appear in more than 10 movies or TV shows.
His appearance in "Sharknado 2" was an instant hit on Twitter, and it inspired some A+ tweets. [tweet https://twitter.com/OklahomanRoss/status/494679036652945410 align='center'] [tweet https://twitter.com/WorldofIsaac/status/494674795888656384 align='center'] [tweet https://twitter.com/LauInLA/status/494722518884704256 align='center'] [tweet https://twitter.com/BMonzoWFAN/status/494675244351631360 align='center']
Unfortunately, however, Angle didn't deliver his trademark Angle slam or ankle lock to any sharks, perhaps for good reason. [tweet https://twitter.com/JasonKirkSBN/status/494674672428912641 align='center']
Angle's cameo wasn't the only sports connection. The New York Mets were also prominently featured.

Here's a great use for wide-striped fabrics. I chose the center fabric of this little table topper because I wanted to free motion quilt around the flowers. (I don't like to practice on a scrap that I'm just going to throw away - so I make small things and practice that way.) Anyway, this seemed like the perfect, super-quick border for this mini quilt!
**The center fabric is actually more turquoise than blue. I took dozens of pictures in all kinds of light trying to show the beautiful color it really is, but it always came out blue.**
Supply list:
1 FQ floral print for center
1 FQ wide stripe for outer border
1/3 yard blue solid for inner border and binding
3/4 yd for backing
(1) 15-1/2" square from floral print - center
(4) 3-1/2" squares from floral print - corner squares
(2) 1-1/2" X 42" strips of blue solid - inner border
sub-cut (2) 1-1/2" X 15-1/2"
(3) 2-1/4" X 42" strips of blue solid - binding
(4) 3-1/2" X 17-1/2" strips of wide stripe - outer border
Sew (2) 15-1/2" strips of blue solid to 2 sides of the center piece; press toward blue. Sew (2) 17-1/2" strips of blue solid to remaining 2 sides; press toward blue. See layout below:
Attach 2 outer border strips to the sides of the center block. Attach a 3-1/2" inch square to each end of the remaining two outer border strips and then sew those strips to the center block, as shown below:
Now layer the backing, batting and top for quilting:
To quilt, I free-motion stitched around the flowers and then straight-stitched along the edges of the inner border. Then I stitched, with a medium dark blue thread, down each line between the stripes. The darker thread looks like a seam.
Then I trimmed it square and added my binding! Super fast and it looks like I spent a long time sewing little strips together for that outer border. :)
It you're interested in making one of these little table toppers, we have this kit for sale on our website. Each $15 kit includes a fat quarter of the turquoise floral print, a fat quarter of the stripe, 1/3 yard blue solid and 3/4 yard of backing fabric!
You'll probably want more than one as these would make a great gift!

In N' Out — This is obvious but bears mentioning for several reasons.
Fries, cooked to order: Utterly essential. Being able to ask for fries well-done eliminates any anxiety associated with fast food ordering. Well done fries are an essential component of Animal Style Fries. Covered with 2 slices of cheese, grilled onions, and special sauce, these are the Bounty of late night foodstuff, a quicker-picker-upper that absorbs excess alcohol and tacks on crucial hours of drinking to any bender. Well-done fries ensure fully melted cheese and prevent sogginess.
Cult of Personality: Why extol the virtues of this burger when former Heisman winner Troy Smith can do it for me. "For the folks back in Ohio, they need to understand first and foremost, it is a fresh burger," Smith said. "The lettuce and tomatoes are extremely fresh. And they toast the buns. That's huge. That's key. They use a special kind of sauce, too. The sandwich is incredible after a long night."
The fact that these comments were made in the lead-up to the 2007 BCS Championship Game — in which his OSU team got crushed 41-14 by Florida — suggests Troy's focus was misplaced. Still, priorities are priorities, and I bet a few Double-Doubles helped to ease the pain.
The only downside here is the wait. Any time, day or night, expect a line.
But they are good … really fucking good. The griddle, which looks like it hasn't been cleaned in at least a few decades, seasons the 1/4 lb. patties perfectly, and the just-charred exterior gives way to tender, luscious beef. The grilled buns are smeared with PN'B's special recipe Thousand Island and topped with cheese, hand-leafed lettuce, and thick sliced dills. The whole sandwich is wrapped in paper and delivered to your table — 45 minutes after you ordered.

Guaranteed security for your data
Our Real Estate Software onOffice Enterprise edition takes you to a knew level of digital handling of your data. Are you already working from anywhere, anytime you like? If so, do you encounter thresholds or aspects hindering a smooth workflow? With onOffice you will not only be able to access your data wherever you are - you are also able to share it between the different devices you are using. Certainly, we are aware that this level of convenience requires an equally high level of security of your data.
In order to guarantee and maintain a high level of security, we rely on two separated data centers in Frankfurt at the Main river. The servers are in charge of processing and storing all data, as well as the entire information backup. On top of this, we operate another backup server in a third location, Saarbrücken, to ensure total security.
External data processing
External data processing is a common process in most companies. The regulations of §11 BDSG ("Federal Data Protection Act") is the juridical guideline for the useage of external data centers or the maintenance of IT systems by external providers. We provide a sample contract (only available in German, June 2017) for external data processing. Please feel free to use it as a template for your convenience.
Data center
As mentioned above, the data is saved and backed-up in a lovation in Frankfurt ensuring the highest security standards. The server rooms are secured via access control that is monitored by security personnel. To guard against theft, each site is located in a secure, protected, hardly visible location, including video surveillance for the outdoor areas and fencing around the perimeter. Monitoring redundant power supplies, fire detection control and suppression measures help to further maximize the security of our servers.
Server monitoring system
To give us an immediate picture of the onOffice server architecture, we implemented a simple, yet effective monitoring solution. The system allows us to monitor the data load on the onOffice servers by visual means of "traffic lights" for each individual server – smart server, web server, mail system and portal system.
Our support team and in-house development team receive an automatic warning alert whenever the color of a server switches to Yellow or Red so that they can commence appropriate counter measures immediately. It might however occur that during the known peak times of real estate data transmission into the portals (Monday mornings and Friday afternoons), the traffic lights switch to Yellow. Any queued jobs will be handled by the system after the transmission is completed.
Smart server:
Web server:
Mail system:
Portal system:
Green = Server running in normal operation, yellow = waiting times, red = partial or complete failure of the servers. Long waiting times may occur or individual services may not be available at all.

Use Home Assistant to Send a Notification at a Specific Interval When the Door is Left Open
NOTE: Although the stuff in this post should still work, the HA devs put out an 'Alert' component shortly after I wrote this that does pretty much the same thing. I've created an updated post about it HERE. I am going to leave this post up as I feel that it might still be useful to accomplish other tasks.

What does a CEO do when the economy is in a persistent down turn and your business cannot expand or grow? Jump at the time tested strategy of acquisition to gain market share seems to be the response in 2015. Yet a merger is no sure thing. Anyone remember AOL's deal to buy Time Warner. How did that turn out? Just how much additional efficiency can be squeezed out of any company? In the era of part time contract workers and low wages, all the fat has been long gone. As for research and development in new technology or products, how will such innovation be marketed in an economy infatuated with the promise of Amazon Prime drone deliveries?

"Nostradamus, Jr." Kaliher's Annual Top 101 Predictions for 2016
Producing this year's soon-to-be amazingly accurate predictions was a virtual miracle. I, Nostradamus Jr., spent the month of August and the following two fortnights drunk as a coot on Carolina shine with Lucille (oh those deliciously dangerous curves) at Big Earl's House of Porn & Bait Shop. Round about late September, I wandered out to the edge of the woods, and being about nineteen sheets to mild hurricane winds, thought it a good idea to wrassal a bigfoot name Norm I'd met years earlier while tormenting an alligator near Hell Hole swamp. Well, I was so whooped up and worn out by the time I pinned Norm in a two-out-of -three match, I wasn't certain I could keep drinking. I forgot all about my duty to make predictions and walked with Norm as far as the Appalachians to hibernate with some black bears while I recovered. I finished off three triple-X jugs of hootch and tucked myself in between them fat, snoozing bears.
"Nostradamus, Jr." Kaliher's Annual Top 101 Predictions for 2015
Reading a slightly chipped 1850' antique crystal doorknob reduced last year's accuracy to only 109 percent. Charlatan seers filling up New Year's Day publications are overjoyed at achieving two percent accuracy. However, I, "Nostradamus Jr." Kaliher disappointed with my results, drained a quart of Alvin Starkman's (Mezcal Educational Excursions of Oaxaca) private mescal stock, snuggled up to scantily clad Little Egypt and swore off future predictions. Having neglected to examine my own future little did I know what to expect.
Congress Eliminates Export Oil Ban
If you want to know how the "so called" Free Trade exponents think about exports, just analyze the impact and actual beneficiaries of the US House passes bill to lift 40-year ban on oil exports.
"The crude export restrictions were introduced in the US in 1975 in the middle of the energy crisis. They followed OPEC's oil embargo of the US and other countries backing Israel during the Arab–Israeli war of 1973. In the face of embargo-related high oil prices, Washington eased the limits on oil imports and ordered an export ban."
Jesus is the Only Way to Salvation
The meaning of the true Christmas has been obliterated in the secular society that has turned away from religion and scripture. Churches are as much to blame as the popular culture. No sane person can be confident in the future. The country is in decay and disintegrating. Morals, values and ethical mores have been abandoned or been reduced to relativism that personal responsibility is practiced by only a small segment of the population. Christmas is supposed to be the celebration of the birthday of the baby Jesus. Mournfully, you would need to take a pilgrim's journey to find any evidence that this lesson of purpose exists.
A Christmas Wish List for Obama
Which is it? Ho Ho Ho or Bah! Humbug!
When it comes to the Barack Obama presents you received during his administration, what you got is a visit from a Christmas basher without the redeeming value of a Grinch or Scrooge. Examine the generous gifts this "Bad Santa" doled out during his holiday season. Postponing another indulgent vacation is a small price to pay for the enjoyment of keeping the cheer and folly celebration going. Be damn the cost, it is just too much fun to stop this excitement of stuffing coal in your stocking, once again.
CIA Funding of Tech Companies
Government funding of companies provides a steady stream of support for tech developing innovations. One vehicle for facilitating this relationship can be found in an entity called, In-Q-Tel. IQT describes their function as: "In-Q-Tel is the independent, not-for-profit organization created to bridge the gap between the technology needs of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and emerging commercial innovation. We invest in venture-backed startups developing technologies that provide ready-soon innovation (within 36 months) vital to the IC mission. These technology startups are traditionally outside the reach of the IC; in fact, more than 70 percent of our portfolio companies have never before done business with the government."
Jewish Banksters Identity Politics
Any discussion on the Federal Reserve inevitably will revert into the role of Jewish Bankers in the failures of the central bank. Resistance from the current Jackals of Jekyll Island prevents a Federal Reserve audit. The identity politics that absorb the banking elites usually revolves on money. However, when the financial establishment unites to shield the Fed to protect the likes of Greenspan, Bernanke and Yellen, one needs to ask why are Jewish Banksters put in charge of the central bank? Identity politics of the tribe comes to the rescue. The mere notion of asking such a question requires a slap down and charges of hatred.
"Toxic Obama" – the latest failed Presidency
Can you say – Jimmy Carter II? At the risk of insulting the peanut grower, the impostor with suspect naturalization credentials is poised to top the nightmare of the one term Trilateral Commission buffoon. Barack Hussein Obama's plantation expertise surpasses the gentleman planter. Must be natural, coming from the genetic markers that fertilize the fields of human thralldom . . . This Manchurian Marxist foreigner, trained in the black art of subversion and Orphic worship thinks he is a candidate for elevation to messiah. Never a sentence is uttered where I, the first-person, singular personal pronoun is not central to the thought.
Corporatist Economic Espionage
Espionage is about gathering information. When foreign interests conduct such operations it is usually called spying. When corporations seek to acquire trade secrets from a competitor, it often becomes a case for legal litigation. In business terms, just what is the best way to view stealing secrets? Investopedia defines 'Economic Espionage' accordingly.

Hodgson Likens Kyrgiakos To Terry, Charlton And Adams
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has hailed the impact of defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos in both penalty areas. Kyrgiakos has established himself as a regular in the starting XI in the last few weeks and has chipped in with a couple of goals. Hodgson is happy with the Greek's form and feels his aerial prowess offers them a real attacking threat from set-pieces. "He's very dangerous in the opposing team's penalty area, there's no doubt about it. And he defends well in ours," Hodgson told the club's official website. "Against teams who play long balls and try to get you to submit to their aerial bombardment, with goalkeepers who come towards the halfway line to kick the ball into your penalty area, you do need players who are good in the air. "You need players who are brave and strong and prepared to put their head on the ball. We knew he was good at doing that in our area - but this season he's been doing it in the opposing area too. "Every time we get a corner he's dangerous." Score Meanwhile, Hodgson has backed Raul Meireles to soon open his goalscoring account for the side. The Portuguese midfielder has yet to score since arriving from Porto in August, but Hodgson feels Meireles will find the net in the near future. "Meireles is a very good player and is a good striker of the ball," added Hodgson. "I'm sure his first goal for the club won't be too far away. "He will get goals for us and he is a class act that gives this team something different. "Meireles is the type of player we need to bring more of to this club in the future."

ARTICLE FROM komonews.com (Full story click here)
One Man's Opinion" By Gordon Curvey
Unless you have been under a rock somewhere you should know about the terrible story of a Seattle Police officer punching a 17 year old young lady here in Seattle the other day.
As you can see by the picture the officer looks like a lightweight boxer in the ring hitting a opponent. But this was not in the boxing ring. It was on a street corner only four blocks from where I live near Franklin High School.
It appears in the tape that is everywhere on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, You Tube etc, that 17 year old Marilyn Levios pushed Officer Ian Walsh. Then the officer hit the young girl with a round house punch to the face to young Levios.
The question is why the officer did what he did. Was the punch needed? Where was his pepper spray? Where was his back up?
Here is another thing that is going here in Seattle. It seems that most of the Seattle Police officers that patrol the areas where African Americans and people of color are, are not African Americans. So the question is do these non-black officers have the training to deal with young and older "inner city" citizens?
I think this is a major problem readers. I feel if you are a Seattle Police officer or any officer, you should know how to relate to African Americans and people of color. Because most minorities have a very negative feeling about police officers. This is a fact.
Finally another thing I have a problem with is this. I have a problem with "so called" community leaders calling press conferences as soon as it appears a white officer etc does something to a African American.
BUT where are these so called "community leaders" when it comes to BLACK ON BLACK CRIME!!! Where is the press conferences by these "so called" community leaders? They are nowhere in sight. For instance, their was a 12 year old kid shot and killed a few weeks ago in cross fire in the Skyway area of Seattle and the killers are still on the run. WHERE ARE THE COMMUNITY LEADERS? WHERE ARE THE PRESS CONFERENCES BY THESE SO CALLED COMMUNITY LEADERS??
Young Ms Levios was wrong to push a police officer. This is a fact. But Officer Ian Walsh was wrong too in punching the young girl. Very very wrong.
If you have a opinion/comment on these articles and my feelings feel free to leave it here.

Supergirl is set to join forces with The Flash once more, when both shows combine in a special musical crossover episode. "Duet" will see Melissa Benoist's Kara and Grant Gustin's Barry teaming up to follow the script set by the villainous Music Meister, in order to escape the alternate reality that he's trapped them in.
The episode serves as a Glee-union of sorts, since former Glee Warbler Darren Criss takes on the role of the Music Meister, having previously starred opposite Benoist and Gustin on the musical show. Various trailers and promotional images have surfaced ahead of the highly anticipated episode, and now a new clip has arrived, showing Criss making his debut as the Music Meister on tonight's episode of Supergirl. Take a look, above.
A suave, sophisticated villain with a penchant for music, Music Meister sounds pretty perfect, apart from the whole villainous side to him. Clearly, Kara is under his powers right away, so does she willingly follow him into the new dimension he opens up in the clip? Presumably this video is from the end of the episode "Star-Crossed", which will then lead into the crossover "Duet" (which airs tomorrow, March 21st).
Either way, Kara and Barry end up trapped, and the hypnotic Music Meister has them under his evil spell. However, the all-singing, all-dancing villain hasn't reckoned on coming up against Barry and Kara's friends, Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale), Vibe (Carlos Valdes), and Martian Manhunter (David Harewood). Though they might be outside the alternate reality, in Central City, they will still face off against the Music Meister and hold him to account.
Confirmed to be singing in the episode alongside Gustin, Benoist, and Criss, are Cisco Ramon/Vibe, Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber), Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan), and Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), and for fans of musical theater, it's almost too exciting to contemplate. That doesn't mean the episode will be for everyone, though. It's a tricky mash-up; two superhero TV shows coming together in an alternate reality where there's singing, dancing, glitzy costumes, and original songs to boot. It remains to be seen whether The CW can pull this off or not, and if it is well-received, whether it could lead to more Arrowverse musical opportunities in the future.
NEXT: Arrowverse Crossovers to Continue Yearly
Supergirl continues with 'Star-Crossed' on Monday, March 20 at 8 p.m. EST, followed by The Flash on Tuesday, March 21 in the same time slot with 'Duet'.

The Shred Factory: Live Review of Megafauna @ Brick and Mortar
Austin natives Megafauna paid us a visit this Wednesday at Brick and Mortar, and they put on an absolute barn burner. Comprised of front-woman Dani Neff (lead guitar and vocals), Zack Humphrey (drums), Bryan Wright (bass), and John Musci (rhythm guitar), the band wasn't pulling any punches that night — just pumping out slap-you-in-the-face, head-banging rock.
A lot of folks describe their style as prog rock, but I feel that's almost a pigeonholing term for a band like this. They're a mixture of intense chord progressions that jump from fast, to double time, to impressive major-minor key shifts, to melt your face shredding somewhere between 90's grunge and Metallica. (Throw in some crazy Mars Volta breakdowns while you're at it.) The band was incredibly meticulous and intentional with every note. Pounding drums, ragingly fast, with precise bass work and SCREAMING guitar all blended together to make the best kind of head-banging musical cocktail; shaken, not stirred.
Did I mention that Dani Neff shreds?
They opened up with a super hot "Eggs" right out of the gate, and didn't slow down at all until they were done for the night. At one point, Neff mentioned, "we're going to slow things down a bit," which lasted a grand total of maybe 30 seconds, (which is really how I prefer my live music). One of my favorites was their song "This Town," a super fast tune that has some seriously impressive full-fretboard riffs (that Neff plays while she's singing). Another favorite off their new album Maximalist, "Haunted Factory," is an awesome combination of powerful vocals, a super fat bass line that mirrors Neff's lead guitar lick, and, you'll never guess — a massive shred-fest from Dani Neff.
The band has been on tour since April, taking only a week to recuperate in between their East Coast and West Coast legs of the tour, and this hasn't been a light tour. They've hit basically every major music town along the way from New York to Boston, ATL, Raleigh, up to Toronto, then through the midwest, and now are finishing up their tour on the Left Coast. Check out the whole tour schedule here.
One of the most impressive parts of the night was just how tight the band was — completely in sync and beautifully on point the entire show. It's refreshing to see a band that is pure rock like this, without leaning on any kind of synth-pop/electro crutch. Just good old fashioned, dirty as hell rock.
Check out the photos courtesy of our own Bob Patterson, and give the song below a spin while you do.

What I got from my October box included Julep Chloe...in the bottle it's a beautiful dark purple with suspended purple glitter that looks just awesome.
On the nail, however it looks almost black unless you're in the sunlight. It's a bit too dark for me personally, but it's a great fall/winter color and I'm hoping it'll grow on me...'cause I'm not going to have time to do them again for a few days!
|You can see the purple in the bottle in this picture
|Nails look black...eh.
The polish itself didn't have the best consistency. I haven't got the Julep application down yet--since the bottle is so skinny and the brush is so long, it is hard to get excess polish off of the brush. If you don't get enough excess off, it runs down the whole length of the brush before you're done painting the nail...and ugh! Some of the other Julep polishes aren't as bad, but since this one was a thicker polish, it was hard. Howeverrrr I ignored the thickness and celebrated because this polish covered completely in only two coats! It tried a little more matte than I prefer as well, but with some Seche Vite top coat it was awesomely shiny! Horray!
How are you guys enjoying the Maven program? What category did you get? I got Bombshell. Sounds sexy...not sure how I got there lol.

Service Of Process: Knowing The Basics
Posted January 18, 2018 in Process Service
By Andrew Gowing
Knowing the basics of Service of Process is an essential starting point when looking at getting into the Service of Process field, starting your own Legal Support business, or training new employees to serve papers for your company.
Most legal documents can be served by anyone who is at least 18 years-old and not a party to the action. However, there are exceptions to this basic rule: Writs, ORAPS/OEXS, Pre Judgment Claims, a person that serves over 10 papers per year.
Also, it is important to note that a judge has no authority to issue a bench warrant if served by anyone other than a Sheriff, Registered Process Server or a person specially-appointed by the court.
If you are looking to serve papers for a living, it is essential that you become a Registered Process Server, so that you can serve every paper that comes your way.
The people that are exempt from registration, according to B&P 22350, are the following:
- Private Investigator (or his/her employees)
- Attorney or his/her employees (can only serve their cases)
- A person that serves 10 or less papers per year
- Sheriff, Marshal, or Constable
- Registered Professional Photocopier
Generally, people that are exempt from registration cannot legally serve: Writs, Pre Judgment Claims, or ORAP's (unless specially appointed by the Court). However, the California Sheriff may serve all documents.
If you are not a Registered Process Server or exempt from registration and you serve over 10 papers per year, you may be guilty of a misdemeanor.
For a more comprehensive understanding of how to serve papers correctly, please check out one of our upcoming CCPS Workshops:
Our next CCPS Workshop will be in San Jose on Saturday, January 27th.
CLICK HERE for all of the details and to register today!
We will be planning at least 5 to 6 more CCPS Workshops throughout the year, with our next one in the works for the spring time in the Southern California area.

Mississippi's Historically Black Colleges and Universities are hoping to increase the number of minorities that go into scientific fields. MPB's Maura Moed reports.
Beverly Hogan, President at Tougaloo College says America's minority population is increasing, along with opportunities in STEM-related professions. She says this is why it's vital for HBCUs to provide resources in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics programs.
"Minoritites are the fastest growing population in America. By 2050, this will be a nation of color. African American students and minority students are going to be filling the workforce of our future, and it is in all of our best interest to invest," Hogan says.
William Bynum, Jr. is President of Mississippi Valley State University. He says having the adequate resources for STEM-specific curriculums makes a difference in the students' success.
"It allows us to buy up-to-date equipment for those two departments so the students will be able to train and learn on the exact equipment they're going to be working in the work force," Bynum says
Leaders from Mississippi's six HBCUs gathered at Nissan to accept a $250,000 donation from the manufacturer. The money will be used on STEM programs.

Two new kinds of threads to try. When buying new threads to try I almost always buy green because I will be sure to use them up. Some wonderful Bodin embroidery needles, two packages of cording, two bag patterns and a vest pattern,
That does not mean I'm not going to buy many of the things I saw there.... just not all at once.. I will definitely get a couple different sizes of the serrated scissors that everyone raved about and I'd never heard of. Also I want a template guide for trimming custom cording but it is $25 and is a ways down the list.
Also I will most definitely get all 3 weights of Solvy ( or something equivalent) as we saw it used in exciting and original ways. I have never owned or used it but it was everywhere in the sampler workshops..
The first "sampler" we went to was 2 hours and had 9 tables going simultaneously and you could pick and choose and move about at will. The demos were about 20 minutes and then repeated. It was "mixed-media Miscellany" Susie and I separated as our interests were different and then we shared information afterwards. I especially enjoyed the innovative printing on organza and experiments with varieties of fiber.... both suitable for CQ. But my favorite was creating "fabric" with solvy and with bits of fibers, threads, and ribbon... I immediately thought of using this in landscape and sea scape applications. Sometime this winter I will be doing this. This was by Christen Brown and she has a book I might consider.
The second "sampler" was also 2 hours and the same format. It was HUGE and had 29 stations...I had to leave this one early but even still got lots of information... Both samplers gave out booklets with overviews and instructions for all the stations.. I loved this concept and certainly got a LOT for the money.
We spent time hashing over what we want as our next joint project and we quickly decided that it was another BoHo bag with lots of lace. Remember the winter we did those?
Susie had hers along and everyone loved it. We like them but both had things we wish we had done different so we are going to do bags again... Hence the bag patterns. Using up some of my ridiculous lace supply and organizing and destashing the rest has priority. I am going to see if I can get some of my local CQ group to join in.
I thought this pattern fit what I wanted and was suitable for CQ It does have a zipper on the inside section as well as more pockets inside. You can see this pattern done in a variety of ways at http://www.studiokatdesigns.com/products/quattro
So the vendors and the workshops revitalized us both and has given us lots of impetus to create more stuff. Everybody needs more stuff....right?
I have more Houston posts coming and will work them in with other news.
AND my wandering wonderful granddaughter should be arriving some time today for a few days.

Though we cannot always escape the fate of buying expensive textbooks, there are always ways you can save some money! With tuition prices rising every year, why should we spend so much money on textbooks? Especially if you might not even use it for the whole semester. Here are three articles that might just help you reduce the prices you pay for those "required", expensive textbooks.
Are Textbooks Worth the Pricey Cost?
By: Rick Jackson
Summary: At Wesley College, there was an interview with the Wesley Bookstore about the prices of textbooks. Bookstore manager, Kris McGlothlin, acknowledge how it's not the bookstore's fault for the high prices, but rather it's the publishers because they are the ones trying to make a profit. Though, you can buy textbooks at a cheaper price by either buying an eBook or another site, it won't always mean you'll end up using it. A legal studies major, Sherleen Sabin, stated how she took a psychology course and only used it a couple of times.
Why this source is important: This article acknowledges that textbooks are pricey and, sometimes, even useless. And it's also the fact that it was an article at a college with interviews from a student and a bookstore manager that realized that textbooks aren't always priced fairly.
What to do with the source: So, why spend even more money on textbooks that aren't priced fairly? Why waste money on a book you will probably only open a few times during the semester? If you really want/need a textbook, check out Chegg, otherwise, we should think before we buy.

Does Renting Textbooks Make Sense?
By: Book.ly
Summary: Have you ever wonder if renting textbooks are better than buying them? Well, an article done by Book.ly explains both the pros and cons of renting a textbook. Here are their reasons:
Furthermore, financially, the best way to acquire textbooks is through buying used and reselling it back because it would save approximately $54.15; however, you are also taking a chance that no one would want to buy your used textbook since newer editions come out.
Why this source is important: This source helps you weigh the pros and cons of renting or buying textbooks. Not only does it show you the pros and cons, it also compares the prices if you were to buy it new, buy it used, buy it used then reselling it, and renting and returning.
What to do with the source: If you ever need some help with deciding whether to buy or rent, this is the one of the best advice for you! It's like second hand help for you if you are on a tight budget!

If You're Buying Textbooks This Week, Get Educated, Not Schooled
By: Eliza Brooke
Summary: While textbooks are expensive, there are tons of different ways to get them for cheaper. This article lists the ways you would be able to buy your textbook for a cheaper price. Here are the ways:
- Boundless: "a free service that aligns its e-textbooks with other popular texts by chapter across 20 subjects."
- Chegg: Where you can buy new/used, rent a hard copy or rent an e-text for up to 60 days.
- Google Play Store: e-text rentals.
- Borrowing from an old classmate or friend.
- Borrowing from the library.
Why this source is important: This article provides useful information about different ways to buy textbooks, yet still saving money. It gives you reasons why you should use a certain site and it has different sites for different needs and cost; from being free to paying for a textbook, this article has everything you need!
What to do with the source: When you are in doubt and overwhelm with the beginning of the semester, come here to find the best places and ways to buy your textbooks. You might even not have to pay anything for them! Which would end up saving you lots of money on top of that student loan debt you might have!
Read the full article here.
Overall: The articles provided useful sources containing different methods of buying textbooks for a cheaper price. With prices escalating and a new edition coming out every year, these three articles give you exactly what you need to know if you are tight on cash or just don't want to spend too much money on textbooks. I hope you all have fun finding the best bargain!
