Vintage Valentine Plate Portraits
I have a soft spot for vintage crafts. Each time I see a pair of plates with a spiffy felted couple on top I'm tempted to buy them. Finally today, I broke down and made my own Valentine's Day themed pair. A little different from the traditional pair with the lady in her veil and hat and the mister with his pipe.
Easy Image Transfer on canvas using Collage Pauge
Here's a fun vine we made showing the process to give you a better idea!
Another way to use this technique is to incorporate it into your mixed media process. For example, after I transferred this image I took of some signage at the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas, I went back in with a pen and doodled on top. It gave it a hand-drawn look that I love.
What do you think of this process? Does it look like a cool new technique you'd like to try with your photos?

Button Tufted Headboard Makeover
Ok this time I'm serious. No really. I mean it. It's time to get started on those resolutions. I have 768 of them, but one of my goals for the year is to do one home improvement thing per month. I have lot's of projects waiting to be painted, re-upholstered, sanded, revamped and in today's case re-tufted. I decided to start the year off with a bang and a big project so I am revamping my headboard.
I must admit I was inspired by the Erin bed and sofa from World Market. Man I love that store. However, when my mother found a beautiful linen camel back headboard at Tuesday Morning I knew I could make this puppy my own in a jiffy. I toyed with the idea of painting the whole thing, but in the end decided to go the covered button route. My thumbs hurt from pushing all those little buttons into the button maker, but it was worth it. Finally the master bedroom is on the way to fabulous.
Lucky for me I am a fabric hoarder. I don't like to sew, but I can cover a button and applique like nobody's business. I actually attacked an innocent vintage muu-muu for this project. The bright 60's neon pinks against the prissy tan headboard was a marriage made in crafty heaven.
5 packs of Dritz Craft Cover Button Kits size 1 1/8"s were used. That's 50 buttons people. Ya, did I mention my thumb hurt? Anyway, the button cover kits come with everything you need. Lucky for me there were even shankless button backs to cut down on my workload. All that was left to do was cut, pop and watch Bravo.
When I had a pile of buttons I took my headboard and placed it on my coffee table. I wanted my glue to be able to sit for as long as possible before I put the headboard back on my bed.
A few of my buttons did have shanks. Nothing a pair of pliers can't fix.
Oh Tacky Glue, is there anything that you can't hold tight? Even my toddler has tried to pull these buttons and he can't. I applied a big gob on the backs of buttons and let them dry completely.
All that was left to do was put my new and improved headboard back in place. I do love pink and tan.
My sister Hope Perkins was kind enough to give me a couple of pieces of her art that were done on vintage muu-muus. I thought the more Hawaii the better.
This room is still a work in progress, but I feel like with my headboard I'm one step closer to finished.

Get Organized Crafty Style in 2014
This time of year a goal on almost everyone's list is to be more organized. I know it is on mine. As a matter of fact I am trying a 52 weeks of organizing type program. So far so good. Luckily, I have a few cute craft suggestions to make organizing easy.
No kitchen is complete without some sort of message center. Most families always need somewhere to keep a grocery list, permission slips and what not – why not make it cute. Using a sheet of metal, clipboard and some vintage wallpaper I got my tacky glue on and made a message center that I adore. Now if only I would actually start using it.
Since my move I have yet to unpack my jewelry. Shocking I know. Even more shocking is the fact that I have made not one, but two different jewelry displays for I Love to Create through the years. I really have no excuse. An embroidery hoop makes a great earring holder and a vintage thrift store jewelry box is easily transformed into something special. Now to get everything untangled and organized.
As a compulsive picture taker it is important to keep my pictures organized. After my children were born I made a promise to start printing my pictures and putting them albums. In recent years I have been making scrapbooks, but originally a plain old photo album was ok by me. Well maybe not plain. Check out this tutorial on how to cover your own photo album with fabric.
I can never find a pen. I know they exist in my house, but just like socks they get sucked into the abyss. I once had the bright idea to decorate an old tin can and make a cute can corral for my pens. It works great when I buy a brand new pack of pens and put them in there. The problem is I always forget to put said pens back after using them.
Some magazines you read and recycled, others (like crafty ones) you keep forever. Magazines can get unruly quick to wrangle all those periodicals with a cute fabric covered magazine holder. I made these as a Mother's Day Gift, but giving the gift of organization (even to yourself) is always welcome.
Do you have any crafty ways of getting organized in 2014? I'd love to hear them.

Most of us, if not all are so used to doing things for others that we forget we must take care of ourselves too! Taking care of yourself mentally and physically is super important! Doing little things everyday, every week or just once a month for you will be very beneficial in the long run! When you do things for yourself you feel happier, alive, more awake, etc. You just feel really good.
I've put together a few tips on things you can do to make yourself feel good. These are not just for those who are down. These tips can be for those who are already happy about them. I want everyone who reads this post to take these tips into consideration, because I promise they will help you feel good. You will feel less stressed and much happier. Let's begin!
Change up your look
Now of course not everyone is going to do this one. Some people are fine with keeping their look (hair color and or fashion wise) but me no. I like to constantly change up my look and go outside the box. I've dyed my hair about 5 times within probably 2 years, just experimenting with colors. It's so fun to change up your hair color or style. I also chopped 10 inches off my hair after my HS prom. Changing up your hairstyle/color is such a freeing feeling. You feel like you can conquer the world. Besides changing up your hair, you can change up your fashion style. It's always so much fun to go into stores and try on all the clothes you normally wouldn't buy. It gives you a huge confidence boost. I find that doing this, gives me great happiness and positivity through out the day! Buy the things you normally wouldn't and experiment with your fashion!
Drink your morning coffee/tea outside
Now obviously you can only do this if it is nice outside, but if it is do it. I don't know what it is, but whenever I do this I feel so much happier and know I am going to have a great day. It's a nice refreshing start to your morning especially if you do it right when you wake up.
Have a dance party
With yourself. Yes I said with yourself! This is actually so much fun and can really improve your mood. If you're with friends/family and decide to do this it's just as fun! It'll be like a scene from Grey's Anatomy. I actually have dance parties a lot by myself lol especially when I'm getting ready for an event. It's a lot of fun and will get your mood elevated. Try it out!
Learn something new
Learning something new is always so much fun, well not always fun in the beginning. Learning something new whatever it may be will boost your confidence especially after you've learned it! You'll be so excited that you can do or know something new that you'll be smiling for days!
Go to a spa
Grab your gals, mom, sisters, aunts, or just yourself and go to a spa. It can be a spa weekend, day spa, or just a 30-minute spa trip just do it! Spa = relaxation. Chances are you're super stressed out and are forgetting to take care of yourself which adds more stress on you physically, and emotionally. Go to a spa, get a facial, get a massage, etc. It will relieve your stress and make you feel so good. Can't afford the spa? I've got you covered… my friends and I are always having little "spa nights." They're so much fun! We'll do each other's nails, hair, drink wine and do face masks. Sometimes we'll even put cucumbers on our eyes for the full effect lol. The best face masks I've ever used are from Freeman Beauty! They sell little individual packets which are the perfect size for 2 people to share or you can buy the full sized bottles! They're super inexpensive and are amazing I promise!

How to stop a download from the Mac App Store
So, you want to stop a heavy download, but you don't know how to do it. In fact, in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store, you can only pause it for a while, but not delete it permanently (although you can download it in a second time with no additional costs). Se here's a short tutorial about how to stop one.
First of all, go to the Purchased section and find the interested app. Next to it there should be a bar like this one, with the pause button:
To stop it, press and hold the Alt key on the keyboard, and then click the Stop button.
Another way to do it is from the launchpad, which is a bit more easier. Once the app is download, it will appear in the launchpad alongside with the other ones. Like before, press and hold the Alt key, click the "X" on the top left of the icon and delete it.
Simple? 😉

Sending Large Files Through Sockets on Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8
Sending Large Files Through Sockets on Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Using sockets to send files is not that uncommon. As a matter of fact, if you ask any of the Windows Phone developers, this would probably be their first choice when it comes to sending binary content to another device. So what exactly is the problem with the standard approach?
It is much more subtle than you think. Think in the context of a standard socket harness based on StreamSocket (if you need help setting it up, I highly recommend using this sample). Try sending a 5KB file. No problem. How about 1MB? Also, no hiccups. Now try sending a 500MB+ file. Ooops. You got an exception informing you that you're out of memory.
Here's the problem - when you are sending a file with the help of StreamSocket, its contents are stored in the memory in the form of cached allocations. That is, as you are sending the data byte-by-byte to the target device, you are also expecting a local cache from which the data is pulled. With that in mind, the cache is not being cleared automatically, so you will have a constant memory allocation increase until the data is sent completely. You can see now that given the sandbox application restrictions, your app will either be terminated by the OS, or you will get an exception before that happens on low-perf devices.
There is a solution to this, too, and thanks to the unified network stack, it applies both to Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 (read: Windows Store) apps. What you need to do is send the data by reading only the necessary parts of the file stream. For example, let's assume that I want to send a StorageFile. I start by getting the size:
internal async void Send(object stFile, string fileName) { DataWriter writer = new DataWriter(_socket.OutputStream); // Write the potential file name first. writer.WriteUInt16((ushort)fileName.Length); writer.WriteString(fileName); // Write the length of the binary data that is being // sent to the client. streamSize = (uint)(await (stFile as StorageFile).OpenStreamForReadAsync()).Length; writer.WriteUInt32((uint)streamSize); Store(writer, fileName, stFile, fileType, albumName); }Here, streamSize is a variable that simply holds the uint value of the current stream size - you can declare it either inside the function or outside of it for convenience purposes.
The storage mechanism can be implemented in a simple recursive pattern, where we have a fixed-length data buffer that is being populated from the file stream, exactly at the level that we need, that will not cause memory allocation problems. Since we already have the stream size, we can use the allocation to shift the position in the file stream and read the same amount of bytes continuously until everything reaches the destination.
private async void Store(DataWriter writer, string fileName, object stFile) { if (StackDownloadViewModel.Instance.IsBusy) { Stream stream; stream = await (stFile as StorageFile).OpenStreamForReadAsync(); using (stream) { int len = 0; stream.Position = streamPosition; long memAlloc = stream.Length - streamPosition < BUFFER_LENGTH ? stream.Length - streamPosition : BUFFER_LENGTH; byte[] buffer = new byte[memAlloc]; while (writer.UnstoredBufferLength < memAlloc) { len = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); if (len > 0) { writer.WriteBytes(buffer); streamPosition += len; } } try { await writer.StoreAsync(); } catch { Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("Failed to store {0} bytes.", writer.UnstoredBufferLength)); } } // There is a leak somewhere that causes the stored stream // to be cached instead of being properly disposed. GC.Collect(); if (streamPosition < streamSize) { Store(writer, fileName, stFile, fileType, albumName); } else { writer.Dispose(); } } }
And just like that, you can send large files between devices without having out of memory exceptions.

Forside EU-opholdsdokumenter EU residence Have you lost your EU residence document?
Have you lost your EU residence document?
We always recommend that you store your residence document in a safe place. If you have been unlucky enough to lose your residence document or it has been stolen etc., you will be able to apply to the State Administration for a new residence document or a copy of the original.
EU nationals
If you are an EU/EEA national, your residence document is a registration certificate which is a paper document. If you have lost your registration certificate, you will be able to obtain a copy of the certificate. Please apply in person at one of the State Administration offices in Aabenraa, Aarhus, Aalborg, Copenhagen, Odense or Rønne (find addresses of local offices here). You will need to bring your passport or national ID card. If you attend the State Administration in person, you will often be able to obtain a copy immediately. You can also write to the State Administration at firstname.lastname@example.com and ask to have a copy of the certificate sent to you. Remember to state the applicable information so that we are able to locate your details. We recommend that you write to us by secure e-mail, preferably using e-boks. We will then send a copy of the registration certificate to you through your e-boks or to your registered address. Sending the copy to you will take a certain amount of time.
If you are an EU national and received your residence document before 1 May 2006, your document will probably be a plastic card with a photo etc. After 1 May 2006, all residence documents for EU nationals have been issued as paper documents. If you have lost your old plastic card, you will therefore not be able to obtain a new plastic residence card. You will only be able to obtain a copy of the letter that accompanied the residence card if you are not longer in possession of this letter either. The letter has the same function as a registration certificate.
Third country nationals
If you are a national of a country outside the EU/EEA, your EU residence document will be a plastic residence card with your photo and signature. If you lose your residence card, a new residence card must be issued to you. The procedure is therefore different to the procedure for EU nationals. First and foremost, you must complete a police declaration for a lost passport or identity document (P 650-031). This declaration can be obtained from the police. The declaration must be signed and stamped by the police. You will need to apply in person at one of the State Administration offices in Aabenraa, Aarhus, Aalborg, Copenhagen, Odense or Rønne (find addresses of local offices here). You must bring the above police declaration, your passport and a recent passport photo of yourself. See photo requirements here. At the State Administration, you will need to sign a master record to order a new residence card. The card is ordered from an external supplier. You should expect to wait approx. 4-5 weeks to receive the new card directly from the supplier. If you need to travel before you receive the residence card, you can apply to the Danish Immigration Service for a re-entry visa for your passport. Find out more about re-entry visas on the Danish Immigration Service website here. Danish Immigration Service contact information can be found here.

Dir: Frantisek Vlácil
DoP: Bedrich Batka
Year: 1967
Things To Consider
- Vlacil makes some remarkable use of the anamorphic aspect ratio while shooting the landscapes. There is an austere beauty to how stark and uninviting these landscapes look when seen through his lens. Characters aren't able to dominate this land, and are always presented as a (small) part of it. This approach gives us a lot of negative space resulting in some really striking imagery.
- While obviously the world is depicted as a harsh place there are moments of true beauty and wonder at the natural world, look at the light flooding through the trees deep withing the forest, or how a character is framed within the arc of a rainbow. Vlacil's camera sees things at their very best and very worst
- Explore the close ups above, look at how often characters are looking right at the camera. This lends an air of confrontation to the entire film, Vlacil and the actors are daring us to reckon with the harsh reality of the film.

"Go get 'em, Roy!" – President Trump endorses Roy Moore for U.S. Senate in Alabama
A few hours after tweeting out his support for controversial Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, the White House said President Donald Trump called Moore from Air Force One on Monday, making clear his support for Moore's election bid, putting Mr. Trump squarely at odds with a number of GOP Senators who have said they find Moore to be an unacceptable candidate.
"The President had a positive call with Judge Roy Moore during which they discussed the state of the Alabama Senate race and the President endorsed Judge Moore's campaign," reporters were told by Principal White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah.
"Go get 'em Roy!" Moore quoted the President as saying.
Earlier, Mr. Trump had for the first time directly expressed his support for Moore on Twitter, tucking that declaration into another jab at Moore's opponent in Alabama, Democrat Doug Jones, whom the President has repeatedly labeled a 'puppet' of top Democratic leaders in the House and Senate.
The President will be holding a campaign rally on Friday night in Pensacola, Florida, which is only about fifteen miles from the Alabama border, and will certainly attract press attention in the Yellowhammer State.
For weeks, Moore has been echoing attacks made by the President against Jones to help raise money for the Alabama Senate race, as Moore argues he's been "kicked and dragged through the mud by establishment Republicans and the liberal media – mostly elitists in Washington."
"But this week President Trump stood up and defended me against the lies and sleazy accusations launched against me by the forces of evil in Washington," Moore wrote in a fundraising email at Thanksgiving.
Today's full and direct endorsement was welcomed by Moore's camp as well.
While the President has fully embraced Moore, a number of Republicans in the U.S. Senate have made clear they want no part of him, horrified by multiple accusations against him of past sexual misconduct.
But in recent days, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seemed to downplay some of his opposition to Moore, saying the "voters of Alabama will make their choice."
Moore had been favored to win the election to complete the term of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who left the Senate to run the Department of Justice in the Trump Administration, until stories surfaced that he had – in his 30's – engaged in relationships and pursued teenage girls while working as a local prosecutor.
It was only a few weeks ago that the White House said the President had found the allegations against Moore to be 'extremely troubling' – but now, Mr. Trump is fully on board with Moore.
The Alabama special election for U.S. Senate is December 12.

As I've said previously I enjoy art. Personally I have zero talent for it. I'm still at stick figure level.
Anyhoo, one art form I know very little about are oriental styles, but am always taken by their beauty. I am in awe of anyone who can manage the balance of subtle strokes and colours across the page. I'm certain any semblance of simplicity is deceptive, and that's probably part of the art form.
One of the bloggers I follow, Ajax, dabbles in the genre with some proficiency. I wanted to share a recent piece that she posted on her blog.

Girl abducted and raped on her way to school in Oxford
The 14-year-old girl was wearing her school uniform when she was abducted by two white men driving a silver car. She was later found over a mile away from where she was taken.
Thames Valley Police have launched an appeal for witnesses and warned parents to make sure their children travel to school in groups. Extra police officers will be patrolling the area until the suspects are found.
"We are in the early stages of this investigation and we are carrying out extensive inquiries," Detective Chief Inspector Simon Steel said.
"But I would appreciate the public's help in relation to this very serious incident.
"This happened in what would have been a very busy area at this time of the day and I appeal to anybody who was in that area and saw an incident which matches the above report to call police immediately. It is possible you may have witnessed this incident and may not have realized the severity of the situation."
His colleague Detective Superintendent Chris Ward said the girl, who is now under specialized care, was extremely traumatized by the incident. He added he did not believe she knew her attackers and was "possibly hugged" rather than dragged into the car.
The local policing area commander for Oxford, Superintendent Christian Blunt, argued the attack had been a "very concerning incident for all involved."
"I would also ask people to remain vigilant and report anything suspicious", he added.
Ward councillor Elizabeth Wade described it as "every parent's nightmare."

What is EPICC? EPICC is Edugaming Positively Impacting College Completion. It represents a holistic look at how gaming and other new learning models have the potential to dramatically improve student outcomes.
Click on this link to check out the matrix describing the EPICC infrastructure.
What are current projects of EPICC? Our initial projects include the following:
1) The Academic Plan Game
The Academic Plan Game is an integrated approach to helping scale students creating and following their academic plan. The project includes stakeholders from a wide range of college-wide departments including counseling faculty, faculty from GIG (see below,) eLearning and Innovation, Career Services, Enrollment Management, and more.
This holisitic approach attempts to make cohesive the process of creating and executing an academic plan from the student-as-user perspective, with dual goals of both providing students with a mechanism for creating a plan as well as motivational game mechanics to keep students progressing on track, and educating students as to what resources and services to take advantage of at the college to improve their progress and ultimately completion.
Interested in thoughts to date? Check out the current status HERE.
2) The Gaming Incubation Group (GIG)
The Gaming Incubation Group is a group of faculty and staff whose mission is to explore games in education – their design and development, their application and use in both physical and virtual environments, and to conceive and implement new projects that embed effective edugaming at Tri-C.
Outgrowth projects from this group include the Free Rice Competition, a month-long competition between classes that kicked off during National Distance Learning Week. Read more about the Free Rice Competition in this article in the Campus Observer HERE.

Authors, like artists and musicians have boundaries. Most won't readily admit to them, but they do. Yes, there are those who are trying to push said boundaries, but they all have things they just won't do. I love characters that push the limits but there are some things I just won't write about.
I have a dear friend who said once, write what you are good at and sure, try new things, but know what you're good at so you can exploit it. As much as I like to step out of my comfort zone, there are some steps I won't take.
I give all the credit in the world to those authors who can write hardcore bdsm. I love to read it, but even when I've pushed my characters to try to go harder, they just aren't right for it. Is that bad? Honestly, no. I've read plenty of hot stories where someone used a flogger or a whip. It was hot and the characters were into it. Great. My characters? Somehow they have an aversion to being hit. Spanked, yes, whipped... not so much.
Part of it has to do with me personally. I can read about it and get it, but I can't comprehend being the one being whipped. I'm a wimp. I don't like being hurt. Like I said, I can 'get' the fetish, but can't write it in a way I feel does the action justice.
I'm okay with that.
Another thing I can't seem to write is two girls. The boys have asked me to write them a story where there is more than one woman participating. Two separate ménages? Sure. A foursome with three guys? Absolutely. A foursome where the two women are pleasuring each other? Not gonna happen. I have nothing against two women pleasuring each other, it just doesn't interest me. Shrug. I have to really buy into the relationship of the characters and that sort of relationship in a story is hot but not for me.
Now before you want to string me from the highest yardarm, think about it this way. I write what excites and interests me. You read what excites and interests you. It's great. It's variety. It works. What you like might not be what I like, but we both might enjoy reading the same kind of story. That's what makes the world go round—all of us having and doing what we like. So check out my work. You might just like it. I'll check out yours or your suggestions. I might just find a great new to me author.
I can't wait.

Relay For Life
There's so much that you can do on a sunny and 76 Saturday. Go lay out and enjoy the first real rays of spring. Head out and find some local trails and take a hike with friends. Go enjoy the neighborhood. There's so much to do on a sunny day, but this last Saturday I chose to join hundreds of other students to participate in the 2017 University of Dayton Relay for Life.
If you're not familiar with the event, the Relay for life is an American Cancer Society event that has involved over 3.5 million volunteers, survivors, advocates, researchers, and caregivers since it began in 1985. All across the nation these events are held— each one looking just a little different from another. Some events are held at tracks, where participants walk laps to raise money for cancer research. At Dayton, ours consisted of live music and performances from students, stretching from 11am to 10:30pm. With over 25 teams and hundreds of participants, thousands of dollars were raised for the cause.
There's so many ways that you can spend a sunny Saturday afternoon, but it's great to see the school come together for a cause that has truly touched all of our lives in one way or another. It's a big problem, and it'll take every single one of us to solve it— It's all about the small steps along the way.
The song of the week is Halfway Invincible by Caleb Baron, one of the many students who performed live Saturday afternoon.

Melissa & Kevin's Engagement Portraits at Irvin-House Vineyards
Melissa & Kevin enjoy good food, good wine, and good company. In fact when they were engaged and looking for a wedding photographer in Charleston, they heard our name from Gary & Cheryl Lenoard while on a wine walk. I had photographed both the Leonard's daughter's weddings…and it was so nice of them to recommend us. The best part is, the moment Melissa, Kevin, and I met…we KNEW we were a great fit. I love all their ideas and can't WAIT to be there on their wedding day!!! Anyway, because of their love of wine, they got permission to do their Engagement Session at Irvin-House Vineyards after hours. What a FANTASTIC place to photograph in. We had a blast (in spite of the No-See-ums) and came out with some wonderful photographs. Here are just a few of my favorites!

text: Digging deeper By Steve Richardson,. Published on September 15, 2008. When marketing budgets are watched closely by the corner office, one way to instill confidence and secure the budget is to demonstrate that your marketing investment is based on a true understanding of your customers' motivations. Too many b-to-b marketers are left scratching their heads when a campaign doesn't work or underperforms. Marketing campaigns are often driven by creative execution, politics or preconceived notions of what customers want rather than on deep insights that actually reveal what customers want. The practice of qualitative research—the technique that gives marketers the deepest understanding of their customers—is a lively, colorful discipline that is rich with myriad tools that can be integrated together to get at the all-important customer truths that marketers crave. ? Focus groups are a core technique in qualitative research and remain enormously popular because they elicit truthful, deep-seated emotions from customers, truths that are key to developing great campaigns to which buyers respond. ? Online research through blogs, bulletin boards and live chats are another set of tools that provide an opportunity to observe customer behavior in an online environment, allowing for rich interaction and producing findings that can be acted upon quickly. ? Individual depth interviews (also called IDIs or one-on-ones) help guide marketers to relevant knowledge and are beneficial when it is necessary to explore each respondent's experiences and perceptions in greater depth. ? Ethnography studies buyers in the context of their everyday lives, often in natural environments such as the workplace, purchasing office or construction work site. Ethnography elicits provocative new insights through the observation of real-life behaviors rather than planned responses deemed to be "socially acceptable." Not all qualitative techniques work for all situations. In fact, a primary role of an experienced qualitative research consultant is to help you determine which of these methods would work best for you. Our association offers a "find a researcher" link at www.qrca.com. Take the time to research and truly understand your audience; you might be amazed at what you discover.

Things to Think About
By Pepper de Callier
"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." Henry Ford
This is a wonderful application of reframing a situation with a positive attitude. What I get from this quote is the importance of focusing not on your circumstances, but how you can use them to your benefit. I realize it's not easy when you're tired, and the wind is blowing in your face, but try to put this little quote in the back of your mind for the next time you need a little encouragement. Who knows, you just might take off.
Good luck on your journey

Courtesy of TED, we have some useful media bringing typically well-informed perspectives on the flu now unfolding. Let's start of with a Q&A with Laurie Garrett, author of "The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance":
TED took 20 minutes with Laurie Garrett this afternoon to follow up on her TEDTalk from 2007, posted today, about pandemic flu. Garrett is the author of The Coming Plague, and a fellow on the Council for Foreign Relations who studied global health and emerging diseases. (As you can imagine, she is very busy this week.) We asked Garrett: What has changed since the last pandemic panic, 2007's avian flu? What does she worry about now? And really, should we not wash our hands?
TED has also posted video of a lecture Garrett gave in 2007:
In 2007, as the world worried about a possible avian flu epidemic, Laurie Garrett, author of "The Coming Plague," gave this powerful talk to a small TED University audience. Her insights from past pandemics are suddenly more relevant than ever.

All 13 of top teams at sprints finish in C-2 race's top 13 on Sunday
Spike's Challenge champions Steve Lajoie and Guillaume Blais post event's best sprint time
Caleb Casey | Managing Editor
This year's Spike's Challenge C-2 race champions – Steve Lajoie and Guillaume Blais, both of Quebec – posted the top time at the Spike's Challenge sprints for position event on Saturday.
Year after year, the top sprinters consistently finish near the top during the race, making the sprints for position an event that can provide a good forecast of which teams fans can expect to be near the top of the leader board. This year, all 13 of the top 13 teams at the sprints for position event on Saturday also placed in the top 13 during the Spike's Challenge C-2 race on Sunday.
In 2016, 12 of the top 13 teams at sprints also finished in the top 13 during the Spike's Challenge. In 2015, 14 of the top 16 teams at sprints for position also placed in the top 16 during the Spike's Challenge C-2 race. In 2014, 10 of the top 11 finishers for the Spike's Challenge C-2 race also placed in the top 11 during the sprints for position competition.
The 2016 Spike's Challenge C-2 race featured a record field with 84 teams. Event organizers expected lower numbers this year. The 2017 Spike's Challenge – the 26th C-2 race in the event's history – featured 66 teams.
For the 66 teams in this year's race, if they wanted to be at the front of the line for the C-2 race event's running start on Sunday, they had to earn it on Saturday during sprints for position.
At sprints, teams paddled upstream first on the pond in the city park, went through a narrow opening under a railroad bridge, turned around at a buoy near the courthouse, paddled downstream, went under the railroad bridge a second time, and finished at the starting area near the pedestrian bridge in the park.
Posting a strong sprint time and getting a spot near the front for the running start can be a significant advantage; it means fewer teams near you and in front of you, less traffic to work around, and fewer teams near you once you get to the water. Being in the middle and toward the back of the pack can be a challenge with such a large part of the total field trying to get into the water all at the same time. This year, with the new dock at the Old AuSable Fly Shop, teams were allowed to run farther before entering the water, but most teams put their canoes into the river at the usual spot by the Marathon's starting banner.
The running start of the Spike's Challenge is similar to that of the AuSable River Canoe Marathon – a 120-mile race from Grayling to Oscoda slated for Saturday, July 29 – but the Marathon's run is longer and usually has a few more teams. Many Marathon teams use the Spike's Challenge as a warm-up race.
In both races, paddlers enter the water at the dock at the Old AuSable Fly Shop. The Spike's Challenge finishes at McMasters Bridge (the fourth AuSable Marathon timing location).
This year's Spike's Challenge C-2 race featured 66 teams, 61 of which competed in the Expert Division. Of those 61, 49 competed in the sprints for position event on Saturday. Teams that do not sprint have to start in the back for the C-2 race's running start. Expert II Division teams are not required to sprint; three of them did and two did not.
This year, in the Expert Division, sprint times ranged from 4:28.4 to 7:12.4.
Lajoie and Blais posted the time of 4:28.4. Mike Davis and Weston Willoughby took second place in the race and at sprints; they had a sprint time of 4:35.3 on Saturday. Andy Triebold and Mary Schlimmer finished third at sprints with a time of 4:39.8 and they took fourth in the Spike's Challenge C-2 race.
Wes Dean and Jason Hatfield were fifth in both events, posting a sprint time of 4:41.5. Christophe Proulx and Russ Reker took sixth at sprints (4:41.6) and eighth in the race. Rich Lauth and Kyle Mynar finished seventh in both events; they had a sprint time of 4:46.1.
Ted Smutek and Matt Gabriel were eighth at sprints (4:49.2) and sixth in the C-2 race. Patrick Madden and Phil Millspaugh were ninth in both events. Madden and Millspaugh had a sprint time of 4:51.0. Trevor Robinson and Bill Torongo finished 10th in both events; their sprint time was 4:54.8.
Wade Binion and Henner Cruz were the 11th place team at sprints (4:56.1) and they took 12th at the Spike's Challenge on Sunday. Danny Medina and Austin Weiler posted the event's 12th best sprint time at 4:57.7 and they had the 11th best time during the race to McMasters. Sean Brabant and Kyle Stonehouse were 13th in both competitions, posting a sprint time of 5:06.5.
Complete results of the 2017 Spike's Challenge C-2 sprints for position are available on the Internet at the AuSable River Canoe Marathon's official website: www.ausablecanoemarathon.org.

devices and most women who choose breast enlargement in Los
Angeles and across the country enjoy their enhanced look for
many years, a small number of women experience implant
deflation due to trauma, injury, manufacturing defect, or other
causes. A new study of patients at Marina Plastic Surgery
Associates who had at least one of their saline implants
deflate (available at
shows that most of these women chose to replace their deflated
implants with newer generation silicone gel implants.
The study, presented at the June 2008 joint annual meeting of
the California Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Rocky
Mountain Association of Plastic Surgeons, sought to uncover the
choices women make following breast implant deflation. Surgeons
at Marina Plastic Surgery conducted a chart review of Los
Angeles and Beverly Hills patients whose breast implants
experienced deflation during the period from the 2000 to 2007 -
a total of 285 patients.
"Most of the patients, about 55%, in our review chose to
replace both of their implants," says Dr. W. Grant Stevens, a
board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Marina Plastic
Surgery Associates. "And we uncovered a few other interesting
outcomes. Almost 60% of re-implantation patients chose silicone
gel implants instead of saline, and slightly over half of these
women chose to have a larger implant placed. This suggests that
following implant deflation, many women take a step back and
reconsider their original implant decisions."
Average patient age in the study was 38.4 years old, though
women needing re-implantation ranged in ages from 19 to 75. The
average patient who required re-implantation experienced a
deflation a little over 4 years after her initial breast
surgery, but the actual amount of time for individual women
varied considerably and ranged from 3 months to 17 years. A
considerable majority of women received financial assistance
from their original implant manufacturer for the cost of the
re-implantation surgery.
"In addition to focusing on implant choices, we also examined
the number of women who chose to have additional procedures
performed during their re-implantation, and what types of
procedures were performed," added Dr. Stevens. "We found that
breast lift, facial procedures, and liposuction were the 3 most
common types of surgery performed during a re-implantation
procedure. We also discovered that almost one third of the
women we saw for re-implantation returned to our practice yet
again for additional procedures within the study period."
Additional studies like this one may help make the decision
regarding implant type easier for women considering cosmetic
breast procedures that require breast implants. It is important
to keep in mind that the results here represent only a small
sample of women from one Los Angeles breast augmentation
practice, so more research is needed to understand how women
nationwide address the need to have a deflated implant

This morning July 23rd, 2010 Jim Durham, organizer of the very controversial Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, announced in the Rapid City Journal that the grand prize of $500,000 will be given at the Broken Spoke Saloon at 7 p.m. Aug. 11 in Sturgis.
Your remember that Frank Kelly from South Carolina and William Barclay from Highland Beach, Florida, rode together under the finish banner of the Hoka Hey Challenge in Homer, Alaska. The 2 riders didn't know each other until they met at the last checkpoint. To avoid a risk of accident while racing each other (and risking a disqualifying speeding ticket) they decided that they would ride together at legal speed and cross the finish line at the same time. Jim Durham states that the possible winner is William Barclay pending the passing of a polygraph test to prevent cheating. No word about Frank Kelly and why he could not be the possible winner and why he doesn't have to pass a polygraph test. The Broken Spoke Saloon and Broken Spoke Campground spokespersons want my readers to know that they have no affiliation with the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge and that they are merely giving them a stage to announce the winner of the Challenge.
As I stated before, if the $500,000 prize is given away, it will appease many who will consider that it was only a very poorly managed and organized motorcycle event. But others are continuing to state that the Challenge was illegal both in the USA and Canada, was unorganized with rules changed at the start, as the ride was progressing and also after arrival. Although many participants are satisfied with their cross country ride experience from Key West to Alaska, others including riders who finished the ride in Homer, family members and the relatives of those killed or injured during the event seem still contemplating individual legal actions or a class action lawsuit.
John White claims that he has nothing to do with the 2010 Challenge, that he just tries to recruit participants for Hoka Hey 2011. But he is noted by many as the one trying now to help Jim Durham by focusing the public attention on the Pine Ridge Reservation water problems as the Charity for this year's event, these issues never originally clearly mentioned in the list of Charities to benefit from the 2010 Challenge. At the same time, the organizers of Hoka Hey 2010 are silent about how money raised will benefit the charities originally listed on the Hoka Hey Website. (revised at 5.55 pm EST)

Chwee Kin Keong v Digilandmall.com Pte Ltd [2005] 1 SLR(R) 502
Contract – unilateral mistake – Internet Contract – Consensus ad Idem – Meeting of the Minds – Acceptance – Offer – Void – Error
The defendant, Digilandmall.com Pte Ltd, were an online IT company that sold related software and hardware from Singapore. They were selling a HP laser printer and an employee accidently made a mistake as to the price of the printer on their website. It was listed at the price of $66, when it was advertised on the official HP website for $3,854. This was not noticed by the company until over 4,000 printers were ordered. The complainants had ordered over 100 printers each at this price. When the defendants discovered this mistake on their website, they sent an email to the complainants to say they would not be fulfilling this order.
The complainants argued that they were not aware that this price was a mistake and wanted the binding contract to be fulfilled. The defendants argued this pricing was a unilateral mistake and that the complainants took advantage of this. The issue in this case was whether the pricing was a mistake and if the contract would be fulfilled.
It was held that the contract between the parties was void. This pricing was a mistake, which was fundamental to the contract and the complainants must have known that this 'absurdly low' pricing was an error by the defendants. In this case, there was no consensus ad idem or meeting of the minds between the parties, which meant that there could be no binding contract between them.

Since the builder runs in the cloud, there's nothing to install or download, and it's very easy to get started. Appery.io includes a visual editor using drag and drop components to build the Frontend. You can connect to any REST API and use it in your app, and instantly add a cloud database and backend to your app if you need to store data. You can add powerful functionality with the Appery.io plug-in catalog, or create your own custom private plug-in to use in your apps. It also allows you to share your mobile project with development teams, business users and customers in real time.
1. Cross-Platform Development
- With the App Builder, you can create mobile and responsive apps that run on all major device platforms including iOS and android, all from a single codebase.
- Create hybrid apps that behave like native but use common APIs that run consistently across iOS, and Android devices. With built-in support for popular frameworks like Apache Cordova (a.k.a. PhoneGap), Ionic, and jQuery Mobile, give your apps the power of fully native apps without the extra cost and time. Easily add third-party plug-ins for PhoneGap to get even more power from this framework.

Hoseless Evaporative Cooling Fan
When it comes to summer, the mercury certainly takes quite a jump up, don't you think so? This would cause us to go scampering for more frequent baths, as well as turning on the air conditioner or fan. Well, for some of us who so happen to have a patio or deck at our homes, fitting an outdoor fan is always a good idea (also to chase those pesky mosquitoes away!), but an even better idea would be an evaporative cooling fan that when it does its job properly, would not only keep you nice and cool, it helps keep things wetter than normal. Enter the $399.95 Hoseless Evaporative Cooling Fan.
The Hoseless Evaporative Cooling Fan is said to be able to reduce the air temperature by as much as 30º F, where it gently mists the surrounding area. Using a trio of patented nozzles to create micro-fine droplets that feel dry to the touch and evaporate almost instantly, the Hoseless Evaporative Cooling Fan comes with a 2 3/4-gallon reservoir that allows you to enjoy up to 5 hours of uninterrupted misting, where you can also adjust the density of mist adjusts with a simple turn of a dial. Boasting weather-resistant powder-coated metal and plastic construction, the Hoseless Evaporative Cooling Fan will feature a couple of wheels on the base which lets you move it around in a jiffy.

Event Honors Faculty, Staff Who Authored Books or Their Technological Equivalent
Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill, wrote Barbara W. Tuchman.
In celebration of all the book offers, in all of its modern manifestations, a University-wide event featuring the published works from faculty and staff will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, in the Hawkins-Carlson Room of Rush Rhees Library.
Printed and electronic books, edited volumes and texts, as well as published compositions and CDs produced by University of Rochester faculty from all fields of the humanities, social sciences, engineering, and natural sciences published from Jan. 1, 2007, through April 20, 2008, will be on display at the event and available for purchase. Authors will be available to sign copies of their works and to share anecdotes about their creation.
"Behind each work is a story of inspiration, toil, exhilaration, frustration and humor that is as important to share as the book itself," says Susan Gibbons, Vice Provost and Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Dean of River Campus Libraries, who will speak about books and libraries as they relate to our changing times.
"Writing books is a solitary enterprise that takes place in libraries, archives, labs, and offices, so an event such as this, which allows us to showcase our collective achievements across all divisions, gives authors the acknowledgment and recognition they deserve," said Thomas DiPiero, senior associate dean of humanities in the college. "Books allow us to unfold new processes of contemplation and discover new ways of producing and thinking about meaning."
The more than 50 books available at the event range from the invented language of 12th century writer, composer, and visionary Hildegard of Bingen by English Associate Professor Sarah Higley (Hildegard of Bingen's Unknown Language, Palgrave-McMillan, 2007) to the Grammy-nominated "Best Opera Recording of 2007" CD by Eastman Professor Paul O'Dette (Jean-Baptiste Lully: Thésée, CPO, 2007) to the cutting-edge field of quantum optics by renowned physicist Emil Wolf (Introduction to the Theory of Coherence and Polarization of Lights, Cambridge University Press, 2007).
"In our busy campus life, we rarely get a chance like this to get together in areas from the humanities and sciences to talk about the work we our doing with our peers in other fields," said Wolf.
"Our intention is to be as inclusive as possible, to build community, exchanging between the humanities and sciences, as well as across generations," said University Provost Ralph Kuncl, who approached staff and faculty with the idea for the celebration. "This year we have reached out to faculty and staff for their contributions; next year we will reach out to faculty, staff, students, trustees, and alumni."
The University of Rochester (www.rochester.edu) is one of the nation's leading private universities. Located in Rochester, N.Y., the University gives students exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary study and close collaboration with faculty through its unique cluster-based curriculum. Its College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering is complemented by the Eastman School of Music, Simon School of Business, Warner School of Education, Laboratory for Laser Energetics, Schools of Medicine and Nursing, and the Memorial Art Gallery.

Jindal Global Business School (JGBS), the second school established in 2010, offers a multidisciplinary global business education to foster academic excellence through industry partnerships and global collaborations. JGBS seek to make an impact through its various degree programmes, executive education, research and consulting. It promotes global courses and curriculum, global research and collaborations, and global programmes and interaction through a global faculty.
JGBS faculty, the core assets of the business school, have degrees from globally reputed universities, and are pursuing research in critical areas, bringing their research findings and expertise to the class room. The curricula are designed on the outcomes based teaching and learning model. The pedagogy emphasizes learning through discovery rather than from classroom instruction, problem-solving instead of rote-learning and critical thinking as opposed to acquiring knowledge as information. In other words, the curriculum focuses on discovery and self-reflection promoting lifelong learning skills. In this pursuit, activities like live projects, field assignments and simulation games form an integral part of the programme. The Programmes incorporate industry internships to achieve holistic learning and a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary business environment. JGBS has attracted full-time students from countries including South Asia and various parts of Africa, studying to obtain degrees (MBA & PhD). Our faculty members mirror the diversity in the student body with many hailing from other countries.
JGBS faculty research acumen is highlighted by its publishing in over 45 peer-reviewed journal, 6 books, 20 book-chapter, and participation in over 30 international conferences (aggregating at 85 publications since inception). Individual citations have also been of the faculty have also tripled between 2010 vis-à-vis 2017. The area of research is implied and in the various field of business studies. The cases studies are helpful to students globally to understand numerous business concepts. The technical articles have facilitated some industries to become more efficient. Some of the text books are used as a course text-book at a number of business schools including the IIMs. And the publications that can be classified as viewpoints or research category are beneficial to develop further strategies. Further, through its internal publications (Sage Journal) and its thirteen vibrant centers of excellence, and the MDP programmes, JGBS offers multi-disciplinary global business programmes to foster academic excellence, industry experience, and well-grounded global perspectives to its students.
JGBS has established international collaborations with top universities globally including the Naveen Jindal School of Management, University of Texas at Dallas, Kelley School of Business, Indiana, and Suffolk University, Boston, from the USA, European Business School, and Goethe University, Germany, Carleton University and the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada, and Queen Mary University of London, University of Bordeaux, France, among others as partners in promoting higher education, action learning projects, student exchanges, internships, conferences, and research projects. An interesting aspect of both these kinds of programmes is that, unlike other programmes (including those organized by most other universities), a student is assessed at each of the programmes and appropriate credits are awarded.
JGBS offers several exciting options to its students through its short and long-term programmes, such as, 1) International Student Exchange; 2) Study Abroad programmes and 3). Summer/Winter School Programmes. Some of these options involve a student working intensively for two different university degrees in parallel, with an international partner university. Apart from this, short visits of 7-10 days to universities abroad are also arranged for JGU students. Typically, these programmes combine classroom study sessions and interaction with host students along with visits to places of historic/cultural interest and local businesses. Within a short span of time, students get a wholesome, global experience.

A construction worker was sentenced to 10 years in prison yesterday for murdering his wife, whom he accused of fraternising with young men in their Phnom Penh village.
Nguyen Chan Sa, 26, from Meanchey district's Chbar Ampov II commune, murdered 21-year-old Van Thitou after an argument late at night on February 2, the court heard.
Presiding judge Suos Sam Ath said at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court hearing that Chan Sa stabbed and slashed Thithou to death.
"The court convicts Nguyen Chan Sa to 10 years on the charge of intentional murder," the judge said.
Tep Bora, chief of Chbar Ampov II commune police, said police had arrested Chan Sa the following day.
"He got into arguments with his pretty wife almost every day. He was jealous of her because she had contacted other young men," he said.
Chan Sa and his defence lawyer could not be reached for comment yesterday.

I was testing last night whether it is possible to ride rocky single track onehanded whilst holding a camera with the other. Answer? No. This poor attempt at film making was shot around Petas in Vantaa, on the delightfully named Tyttömäki or 'girl hill'.
On the other hand I got the gears running really smooth on my mountain bike. No more chain getting dumped off the top of the block or off the front chain rings, and minimal chain suck compared to riding at the weekend. If it was stiff link, its must have worked itself loose again. Sometimes I think working in bike shop would have been a much better career choice for me.

A troy ounce is a unit of measurement commonly used to designate weights of certain precious metals such as silver or gold. One troy ounce is equivalent to 31.1034768 grams. One pound of gold is equal to 14.58 troy ounces.
A medieval practice of weighting, the troy ounce weights system originated in Troyes, France. The unit of measurement was one of the first imperial units — a measurement adopted by the British Empire
to create a unified weighting system. The troy ounce outweighs a regular, or avoirdupois, ounce by roughly 2.75 grams. To convert avoirdupois ounces to troy ounces, multiply the number of regular ounces by 0.911458333333. When the price of gold is reported, it is given in troy ounces.

Skate Canada 2011 Men's SP
Quickie recap of the men, as I am very busy.
Javier Fernandez. Mr. Fernandez wore a gorgeous soft yellow cardigan...given my secret fetish for cardigans, I think I loved this program even before he started skating. Anyway, cardigan aside, 4T, 3Lz-3T, 3A, all easy and airy--clearly the skate of the night. Good to see Mr. Fernandez doing some very unMorozovian non-upper-body choreography. Spins travelled way too much, but Brian Orser should fix that.
Daisuke Takahashi. A nuanced and mature performance from Mr. Takahashi, and definitely a solid departure from the glitterbomb programs of yore. Admittedly, I was sceptical of In the Garden of Souls, but Mr. Takahashi's great performance--albeit with no quad--has won me over. Great vehicle for demonstrating his musicality and range, and he should've won on PCS tonight.
Patrick Chan. Touch-down on the 4T after slipping a bit before the entrance, 2A, 3Lz-3T. I personally would not have marked him so close to Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Takahashi, but well, this competition is Skate Canada after all. However, Mr. Chan nonetheless still deserves to be in third place. Lori Nichol has tweaked the choreography of Take Five a little bit, but I'm somewhat surprised Mr. Chan still wasn't more clean--surely he's used to the program by now? Whatever....I'm just pleasantly surprised the judges didn't rank this first.
Adam Rippon. Rippon 3Lz, 3A with a slight touch-down of the free foot, UR 3F-3T. I hate to say it....but I really don;t see Mr. Rippon making the US world team any time soon. It doesn't look like Mr. Rippon's 3A demons are any more exorcised. The 3A was ridiculously stalked and had little speed going into it. The rest of the jumps don't look particularly improved and the UR call on the 3F-3T is worrying. Moreover, Mr. Rippon's mostly-7 PCS demonstrates that the international judges still don't really see him as ready to play with the big boys unless he whips out the 3A and quad like Mr. Fernandez. Not sure if I dig the Shae-Lynn Bourne choreography, but I liked how Mr. Rippon kept up the energy of the music up until the end.
Overall, a decent night of skating for the menfolk. Barring a catastrophic meltdown, the top three in the short will surely make the podium after the long. The 10-point gap between Mr. Chan and Mr. Rippon clearly says it all.
