We entered the Bulgarian market in 1994. Our history is one of our strengths. The fact that we have been in Bulgaria for 20 years gives us a lot of knowledge of the country. Back then we made a conscious decision to stay committed to our clients. And we have done just that. We unlocked Bulgaria for many of our global clients and unlocked the world for many of our Bulgarian clients.
In 20 years, being part of society is a responsibility, we've been welcomed as guest 20 years ago and were allowed to become part of society. In return we believe that our role in society as a bank is to facilitate financial activity and stimulate economic development. The ultimate benefit of a thriving economy is to catalyse social progress and, consequently, a better quality of life for people. A stable society in which everyone has access to financial opportunity and the financial system is a prerequisite for a sustainable economic system.
20 years ago we expanded our business into Central & Eastern Europe, bringing the our entrepreneurial spirit, combined with a no-nonsense mentality to Bulgaria. These ING values stayed, but combined with local culture it blended into a unique mix. We did not only enter the market but we became part of society.
Therefore would like to thank Bulgaria for giving us a past and future in business and society.

On this week's episode of Talking Radical Radio, Syvlia McFadden and Carla Bergman talk about their work with The Purple Thistle Centre, a youth-run community centre for arts and activism in Vancouver.
It is perhaps not named and noted as frequently as many other issues in the context of adult-centric social justice spaces, but youth -- especially otherwise marginalized youth -- get something of a raw deal in our society. They are often mistrusted, blamed for various social ills, put down as deficient in different ways. They often have little option but to spend great amounts of time in hierarchical educational settings that may allow some to thrive but that push many out, and squash the spirits and hopes of many others. Yet there are also initiatives that push against these anti-youth tendencies. The Purple Thistle Centre is one such initiative. Also sometimes envisioned as an "alternative-to-school," it is a place where youth can come together and collectively pursue their interests, where they can feel what it is like to be trusted and to be in charge, and where they can work together to learn and to create -- whether that is creating art, film, theatre, or a better world. Bergman and McFadden are organizers with The Purple Thistle. They talk with me about the issues that youth face, and about why the centre exists and how it works.

Want to set up Gmail in your email program, and it does not work? You possibly need a special password. Find out here how to create a Gmail app password for your email program or service to access Gmail.
First, 856 Columns inside a Church within a Mosque
can be admired, of course, in Cordoba's Mezquita. Look closer a bit at the forest, and you will find that, in the mosque's older part, no two columns seem to be alike.
That is because most were not made for this building but reused from others—and made to fit more or less.
With Gmail using 2-step authentication, you cannot reuse passwords or make do more or less; every program or service connecting to Gmail through POP or IMAP gets its own custom-made app password:
How to Create a Gmail App Password
Time needed: 7 minutes.
To create a new application-specific password so you can access your Gmail account in an email program or service using POP or through IMAP:
- Open Gmail in a desktop browser.
- Click your avatar or name near the top right corner.
- Now click Google Account on the account sheet that has appeared.
- Go to the Security category on your Google Account page.
- Click App passwords under Signing in to Google.
- Type your Gmail password under Enter your password if prompted and click Next.
- Click Select app below the list of existing app passwords.
- Choose the application for which you create the app password followed by selecting a device under Select device or choose Other to name the email program or service freely.
Note: Do create a different password for each application and make the name recognizable so it is easy to disable the password if necessary.
- Click GENERATE.
- Copy and paste the generated password immediately to the email program that uses it.
Important: Do not save the password anywhere; if you lose it, create a new app-specific password.
Hint: The password will have 16 characters.
- Click DONE.
How to Create a Gmail App Password: FAQ
Why do I need app passwords in the first place?
With 2-step authentication enabled, your Gmail password alone is not enough to log on to your account; a second means you identify you—typically, a code received through your phone—is necessary. This is true when you open the account in a browser, and it is true when an email program tries to log in.
Gmail offers two ways for your email program to still access mail:
- OAuth: after you log in with Gmail (using 2-step authentication) and allow the email program or service access to your messages, Gmail hands the app or service a secret token (password) that lets it log in from then on.
- Gmail app passwords: Gmail creates a random password which lets an email program or service log on with traditional, password-only authentication until you revoke the specific password.
Can I disable a Gmail app password?
Yes, you can delete a Gmail application-specific password at any time. That password will then no longer work, and any application or service that tries to log in with your Gmail address and the revoked application-specific password will not be able to access your account.
Do disable Gmail app passwords if you think an app or service might be insecure and either have given away or lost the Gmail application password.
Will disabling one app password affect other apps and passwords?
Other Gmail app passwords will still work like before—as will email service and programs using OAuth, of course, and logging in using 2-step authentication.
How many app-specific passwords can I create in Gmail?
You can create at least 15 application-specific passwords in Gmail—and possibly more.

Barangay Ginebra turned to center Greg Slaughter in the post to roll past Columbian Dyip, 97-85, and snap a two-game losing streak in the 2019 Honda PBA Philippine Cup Saturday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
The Dyip's small frontline had no answer for the seven-foot Slaughter, who finished with a conference-high 22 points to go along with 12 rebounds and five assists. Scottie Thompson backed him up with an all-around effort of nine points, 14 rebounds and five assists.
Joe Devance added 15, while Kevin Ferrer added 13 for Ginebra, which displayed more teamwork with 32 assists against Columbian's 16. The Kings also outrebounded the Dyip 59-37 as Slaughter and Thompson lorded it over the boards.
"We just wanted to be a defense-first team and we got back to the basics," said Slaughter. Ginebra last won on opening day on January 13 at the Philippine Arena against TNT.
Ginebra's defense indeed stood out, limiting Columbian to just 39% shooting from the field. The Dyip's 85 points was also way below their conference average of 108.
After a tight first period, the game opened up in the second. The Kings, behind Slaughter, Japeth Aguilar and Art Dela Cruz, established the game's first double-digit lead at 43-31 with 6:30 to go in the second period. But Corpuz and rookie JP Calvo conspired in a 13-2 Columbian run to come to within one at 45-44. Then it was the turn of Ginebra to go on a run, dropping 10 unanswered points to close the first half with a 55-44 advantage.
Ginebra continued to pull away in the third period, outscoring the Dyip 21-15 to enter the payoff period with a 76-59 edge. Back-to-back baskets by Aljon Mariano to open the fourth gave the Kings an 80-61 lead, and Columbian could come no closer than 15 the rest of the way while the lead ballooned to as high as 20 points.
Rookie CJ Perez continued to impress, leading the Dyip with 25 points, while Corpuz added 20, but no other Columbian layer finished in double digits as the Dyip fell into a five-way logjam at 2-3.
Ginebra 97 - Slaughter 22, Devance 15, Ferrer 13, Aguilar 11, Thompson 9, Mercado 9, Dela Cruz 7, Tenorio 5, Mariano 4, Chan 2, Caperal 0, Teodoro 0.
Columbian 85 - Perez 25, Corpuz 20, Camson 9, Khobuntin 7, Agovida 6, McCarthy 5, Reyes 5, Faundo 4, Gabriel 2, Calvo 2, Cahilig 0, Cabrera 0, Escoto 0.
Quarters: 27-24, 55-44, 76-59, 97-85.
- Japeth Aguilar left the game late in the second quarter with a right ankle injury. He had his ankle taped in the locker room and eventually returned to the bench, but did not enter the game anymore. He finished with 11 points.
- LA Tenorio played his 595th straight game, just one shy of tying Alvin Patrimonio's iron man streak.
- Rashawn McCarthy had a miserable night on offense, finishing with just five points on 2 of 10 shooting. He also missed all his four free throw attempts.
Ginebra - vs. Blackwater on Feb. 9 in Digos
Columbian - vs. Alaska on Feb. 6 at Mall of Asia Arena

Melaka, oh Melaka. What an experience.
Apparently the cuisine in Melaka is to die for but holds a big sign "not suitable for vegetarians". There were actually people queueing up outside one restaurant to get to taste the Malay food while I had to resort to eating pizza and veggie sushi. But, it was the first time I'd ever had sushi.

The one scale I don't have much of is 1/144 (1/12 of 1/12). For one, my eyesight is bad! And I've never come across anything in the scale that excited me.
That changed when I saw these two charming houses by Charlotte Scott in that big auction last fall. (BTW, the auction has been covered in Miniature Collector in the latest two issues–the pieces written up in the magazine were on the high end; I'd dropped out long before!)
Be sure to click on these pics for bigger versions!
This is a Georgian brick cabinet dollhouse, finished inside and out. I love how she put the dollhouse on legs.
The middle is one solid piece (doesn't open), and the roof doesn't open either.
Detail of the front door. So pretty (click photo for close up).
Side and back of the house with more details.
The Tudor house. The Georgian house was the one that had caught my eye, but when this one came up, I couldn't resist. Terrific details.
Each floor opens separately. Top two floors.
Bottom two floors.
Side of the house with great decorative details.

COTABATO CITY, January 15, 2019 – "Ito'y isang pagkakataon para sa atin para malaman ang nilalaman ng BOL lalo na sa ating mga Kristiyano (This is an opportunity for us Christians to understand what the Bangsamoro Organic Law is all about)."
This was the opening message of ICC Parish Pastor Rev. Father Gerard L. Fornan, DCC during the Peace and Security Forum for Christians in Cotabato City held on Sunday at the Notre Dame SAC Gymnasium, ICC Parish Compound, Cotabato City.
In his message, Cotabato City-born OPAPP Assistant Secretary Dickson P. Hermoso called out to his Christian brothers and sisters to go out and vote so their true voices will be heard.
"Now is the time for us to change the landscape… Tapos na ang giyera, susunod na ang (the war is over, what comes next is) peace and development… You cast your vote according to your conscience, according to your heart," he said.
"If you ask me, because I saw this conflict for years, I will vote for 'yes'… This is for our generation and for the next generations and the generations to come… The voice of the people is the voice of God," he added.
Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF) chief-of-staff Sammy Al-Mansour Gambar assured the crowd that the MILF will wholeheartedly accept the result of a clean and honest plebiscite election.
"Request lang namin na intindihin mabuti ang BOL. Yung desisyon ay nandyan na mismo sa inyo (We only ask that you understand the BOL well. The decision lies in you)," he said.
Other personalities in attendance were Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Deputy Governor on Christian Affairs Edgardo B. Ramirez, Regional Officer In Charge for Kidapawan-Marbel-Cotabato (KIDMACO) Knight of Columbus Sir Knight Allan P. Tan, lawyer Suharto Ambolodto, Assistant Diocesan Coordinator Sir Knight Francisco C. Boromeo, and Regional Secretary of R12 KofC Sir Knight Joel Roa Cadeliña.
The activity was jointly organized by the Knights of Columbus and the Christians for Peace Movement. It was attended by Christian communities from across the city composed of the Rosary Heights Parish, St. Joseph the Worker Parish, and Immaculate Conception Cathedral Parish, Evangelical Community Church , and the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Philippines.
The plebiscite will be held on two dates: January 21, 2019 for ARMM, Cotabato City, and Isabela City; and February 6, 2019 for Lanao del Norte, North Cotabato, and other areas with a total of 67 barangays whose petition for inclusion to the BARMM had been granted by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC). ###

Indy part 3
Today continued to be a good day in Indy. The general consensus among those I spoke to was that this was the best convention they had attended in quite some time. Between the unity of the convention and the direction of our leadership I am heartened and encouraged. Today was particularly encouraging as we passed Tom Ascol, Malcom Yarnell and Bart Barber's resolution on Regenerate Church Membership. It's about time. Today was also fantastic because I got to spend the afternoon (which is free time at the convention) with my wife. During that time I ate at Chik-Fil-A twice and we went on a boat ride down the Indy Canal which was a blast. I'm telling you, my wife and two meals at Chik-Fil-A makes for a killer afternoon.
I also spent a bit of time this morning speaking with Jim Hardwicke, who many of you will know as the former pastor of Frederick Boulevard. It was encouraging to hear from him about what God was doing in his life and to share with him the exciting things happening at Frederick!
Speaking of Frederick Boulevard, I was encouraged yesterday to learn that our church was recognized as one of the top 500 givers to the Cooperative Program in the entire SBC! If you know me well you know that I love the CP. It is incredibly encouraging to once again be reminded of the missions heart and faithful commitment of our people at Frederick Boulevard. It's a lot of fun to be Frederick's pastor.
The convention highlight of the day, however, was the IMB report tonight. Tracy and I cried as we listened and watched Dr. Rankin and the other members of the IMB family remind us of the greatness of our task, the greatness of our missions sending agency and most importantly, the greatness of our God. It was a wonderful way to end the convention. I am going to attempt to get a copy of the dvd from this evening to show it to our folks at Frederick Boulevard on a Sunday evening in a few weeks.
Well, I am going to sign off now. I'd love to write more and I may in a few days. Now, however, I need to go to bed. I've got to be up in 7 hours when we'll jump in our van and drive to Wilmington, NC for my brother's wedding. Ugh.

Although he has recently proposed bold education initiatives, Gov. Jay Inslee is graded a "C" student by Washington voters at the half-way point of his term, according to an Elway Poll released on Monday.
"We asked respondents to give Jay Inslee a letter grade 'like they do in school' for his first two years as governor," wrote pollster Stuart Elway, "where 'A' = excellent; 'B' = good; 'C' = satisfactory; 'D' = unsatisfactory; and 'F' = poor."
The results saw give Inslee an A, while 35 percent rated him a B governor: 36 percent graded Inslee at C, while 14 percent made him a D student and 8 percent flunked him.
"His grade was a solid 'C' (GPA=2.15)," Elway found.
"Whether the 'satisfactory' grade comes from thoughtful consideration or from indifference, it affords Inslee room to operate," Elway wrote. "Taken together, these findings indicate that most voters are O.K. with the job Inslee is doing as governor. Not enthusiastic, but not angry either."
The operating room is suggested by the program Inslee is offering to the Legislature.
It includes a big increase in preschool funding, along with increased hiring of teachers to reduce class sized for kindergarten through the third grade. The governor would increase mental health treatment to prevent boarding of psychiatric patients. Inslee wants to hire more than 100 child protective and child welfare workers to more rapidly conduct investigations of abuse and neglect.
In order to boost education, and restore services cut during the Great Recession, Inslee is proposing a capital gains tax for high-income earners. He has also proposed a Carbon Pollution Accountability Act in which the state's major emitters of greenhouse gases would pay for their pollution.
An Elway Poll last week showed that more than 70 percent of the state's voters approve of the tax on polluters and the proposed capital gains tax.
The Inslee initiatives, unveiled in December, could bolster approval in areas where voters give his performance low marks.
According to the Elway Poll, just 34 percent of Washington voters give Inslee excellent or good marks for "providing leadership to the Legislature." Only 41 percent of those surveyed give him high marks when it comes to "articulating a vision of the future of Washington."
State government has not occupied such a prominent place on Washington's radar screen of late.
Just a decade ago, Republicans were going to court to challenge the 129-vote victory of Gov. Chris Gregoire. The Legislature would adopt a three-step, 9-cent-a-gallon gas tax increase. Spurred on by right-wing talk radio, 600,000 people would sign petitions to put it on the ballot. The state's voters, in turned, gave thumbs-up to the gas tax hike.
"By way of comparison, Christine Gregoire's ratings were more polarized," Elway noted in his findings.
The state has been without a juicy political scandal for some years. Gov. Chris Christie has been through a year of "Bridgegate" in New Jersey. Gov. Sam Brownbach in Kansas has a federal grand jury sniffing into his fund-raising. A sexual harassment scandal in the Alaska National Guard helped unseat Gov. Sean Parnell.
As well news organizations are sending substantially fewer journalists to cover the Legislature and state capital, which used to fracture marriages but produce fine reporting.
Gone are the days when the Tyee Motor Inn caught fire in the midst of a legislative session: 125 guests were registered, while 200 people were rescued.
Inslee started raising money for his 2016 reelection race the moment that results from the 2014 election were counted. He held a big December fund-raising luncheon (closed to reporters) featuring former Vice President Al Gore and staged a full week of events unveiling his 2015 program to the Legislature.
The Elway Poll was conducted Dec. 27-29, and involved interviews with 502 Washington voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percent.

Penn State
Memorial tree to be planted in honor of former PSU tree surgeon
Just after a severe storm tore through State College on April 2, 1970, former Penn State tree surgeon Joseph Gardner found his car crushed by the large Catalpa tree he'd parked under on campus each work day. On Sunday, another Catalpa will be planted in the same spot during a ceremony honoring the late campus arborist.
The tree planting will be held at 2 p.m. behind Spruce Cottage and the Ritenour Building, the former location of the parking lot where Gardner's 1954 Chevrolet was victim to the uprooted tree.
Winds of almost 80 mph blew during the storm on the cold spring day, according to the National Weather Service archives. The next morning, the photo on the front page of the Centre Daily Times showed Gardner squatting on the tree with saw in hand, ready to get to work.
A few weeks after the tree was removed, Penn State Office of Physical Plant workers gave Garder an end table made from slices of the tree. The table remains in the Gardner family home in Pleasant Gap, as does the photo of the unfortunate event.
Gardner began his career at Penn State as a laborer in 1949. Shortly after he started at OPP, Gardner was climbing and maintaining trees on campus under the watchful eye of then-tree surgeon Don Coble. Gardner became the tree surgeon, lead arborist as the position is now titled, in 1968 after Coble retired.
During his time at Penn State, Gardner, Coble and former tree surgeon Kris Edson played key roles in saving the elm trees that began showing signs of Dutch elm disease in the late 1950s, according to current lead arborist Jeff Dice.
"Joe worked with all academic units to try and save the trees," Dice said. "Joe, Don and all of the staff at the time made the decisions that extended the life of some of the great trees on campus."
During and after his career, Gardner could be seen driving throughout the valley with his ladders strapped to a rack on top of his car. When the Catalpa crushed his Chevy and ladder rack, Gardner moved on to a Chevelle. He outfitted it with a new ladder rack and continued helping friends and family with their tree troubles.
"He was a tree guy," Dice said. "He really represented what Penn State arborists are all about."
Gardner retired in 1991 after more than 40 years working at Penn State, and Edson took over as tree surgeon until he retired in 2016. Edson's retirement party is where Gardner's son, J.P., said the idea for the memorial tree was conceived.
"When Kris Edson mentioned the idea of planting a tree to honor dad's tree surgeon work at Penn State, I thought that's a pretty good idea, but we didn't do anything with it at first," J.P. Gardner said.
In November, Gardner died at age 88. Following his dad's services, J.P. remembered the memorial tree idea and contacted OPP to inquire about the process, which led to Sunday's memorial.
"It's going to be a nice chance to reminisce about a great friend to so many people," Dice said. "I'm truly honored to be a part of what I think is a well-deserved memorial for a wonderful fellow."

It will bring together top executives and decision makers, rail, logistics and economics professionals, influential politicians and institutions as well as potential suppliers for the project from across Europe.
Panel Discussion on the Potential for regional connectivity and secondary economic benefits. Among other panelists Oskars Redbergs with the report "Rail Baltica Urban Impacts. Improved city planning in the connected region."
"Rail Baltica Urban Impacts" project is advocating for the establishment of an integrated planning process balancing inter-regional- and metropolitan-scale benefits this connection creates with city-scale, long-term benefits for the urban environments and local communities.
Oskars Redbergs is going to discuss of why Successful Cities are making sure that a transport investment such as an interchange is implemented jointly with an integrated development plan or an urban regeneration or redevelopment plan, and why it is more likely to induce economic and social impacts.

(Adds details on housing goals, background)
By Jason Lange
WASHINGTON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - The regulator for U.S. housing finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac <FMCC.OB) said on Friday it wants the two firms to provide more support to some low-income Americans taking out mortgages and refinancing their home loans.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency released proposed goals for the two state-owned firms for 2015-2017 that would advance agency chief Mel Watt's aim to widen access to housing credit.
The FHFA said it wants Freddie Mac, which is second only to Fannie Mae in the amount of housing finance it provides, to gradually expand the number of loans it backs for low-income multifamily buildings, such as apartment buildings, to 230,000 in 2017 from its target of 200,000 this year.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been owned by the U.S. government since taxpayers bailed them out in 2008 during a housing market implosion.
The two firms don't lend money directly, but rather buy mortgages from lenders and sell them as packaged securities with a government guarantee. They back most new U.S. mortgages, and their purchases are a major driver of credit access.
Under the FHFA proposal, the two firms would continue to make sure low-income families accounted for 23 percent of the firms' purchases of single-family home mortgages. However, the firms would raise the share of their purchases that back mortgages in low-income areas with large minority populations.
The proposal would also have the firms increase the share of their mortgage refinancing operations that target low-income Americans.
The proposal is part of the shift at the FHFA that began in January when Watt took the helm. Watt, a Democrat who was nominated to head the agency by President Barack Obama, mothballed his predecessor's plans to scale back limits on the sizes of loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Boosting support for low-income borrowers could stir controversy in the U.S. Congress. Many Republican lawmakers think Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's policies to support mortgage access for the poor helped inflate the U.S. housing bubble that eventually burst around 2006.

Zaremba Group, the Cleveland company that bought the unfinished Centerpoint towers in Tempe for $30 million this week, plans to rent out the units once planned as condominiums.
The real estate company's Scottsdale office hasn't returned our call yet, and the guy from Cleveland who knows something, Zaremba president Joe Urbancic, is still in an airplane on his way home from the Valley, the Cleveland office says.
Meantime, the Phoenix Business Journal quoted Kent Chantung of Zaremba's local office as saying both towers and the ground-floor retail space will be finished by next summer.
"We will market predominantly to students and upper classmen and anybody else who wants to live in a great environment like Tempe," Chantung said.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The sale is expected to close no later than October 15, and Chantung expects construction activity to begin then.
The previous developer, Tempe Land Company, estimated that completing both towers would cost $75 million. Zaremba's apparently got the dough. And it's experienced at building apartment complexes.
So Centerpoint won't be as fancy as Ken Losch, one of the original developers, thought it would be. But at least a few lights will be on in the towers.
At first, probably, very few. With both towers complete, that'll be about 375 units to fill. Coming soon to the towers, we predict: A giant "move-in special" banner.

Soft Place to Fall by B.A. Tortuga
Dreamspinner Press
Cover Artist: Tiferet Design
Sales Links: Dreamspinner Press | Amazon
Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words is happy to have BA Tortuga back again talking about all things Texan, writing, and new stories, in this case Soft Place To Fall. Welcome, BA.
My Daddy Hates It Here 😉
Hey y'all! I'm BA Tortuga, resident redneck and lover of all things western.
I have to tell y'all a story. As y'all may know, I'm a Texan and when I announced to my daddy I was moving to New Mexico, he was pissed.
You see, Daddy really likes all of his little girls near, thank you.
Regardless, here I moved, and when Daddy saw it, he hated it.
Now, I live in between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, so I live surrounded by high desert and mountains. It's stunning here. The light, the sun, the colors…I can rhapsodize.
All my daddy sees is dirt.
*grins* That's how it goes with my newest book – Stetson in a New Mexican, Curtis is a Texan. Stetson is married to the land, Curtis is married to rodeo.
Damn y'all.
When Stetson has to call Curtis for a favor years after they break up? Whoa.
Much love, y'all,
Soft Place to Fall Official Blurb:
Stetson Major and Curtis Traynor are about as opposite as two cowboys can get. Stetson is a rancher, tied to the land he loves in Taos, New Mexico, while Curtis is a rodeo cowboy whose wanderlust never could be tamed.
But now Stetson's momma is dying of Alzheimer's, and she can't remember that Curtis hasn't been Stetson's boyfriend for a long time. Curtis's absence makes her cry, so Stetson swallows his pride and calls his ex-lover.
To Curtis, Stetson is the one who got away, the love of his life. And Momma is his friend, so he's happy to help out. Yet returning to the ranch stirs up all sorts of feelings that, while buried, never really went away. Still, the rodeo nationals are coming up, and Curtis can't stay… even if he's starting to want to, especially to support Stetson when he needs it most.
Stetson and Curtis want to find a place where they both fit, to be there to catch each other when they fall. But family, money problems, and the call of the rodeo circuit might end their second-chance romance before it even gets started.
About BA Tortuga
Texan to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy's Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with her basset hounds and her beloved wife, texting her sisters, and eating Mexican food. When she's not doing that, she's writing. She spends her days off watching rodeo, knitting and surfing Pinterest in the name of research. BA's personal saviors include her wife, Julia Talbot and coffee. Lots of coffee. Really good coffee.
Having written everything from fist-fighting rednecks to hard-core cowboys to werewolves, BA does her damnedest to tell the stories of her heart, which was raised in Northeast Texas, but has heard the call of the high desert and lives in the Sandias. With books ranging from hard-hitting GLBT romance, to fiery menages, to the most traditional of love stories, BA refuses to be pigeon-holed by anyone but the voices in her head.

Willy Williams Just Can't Stop
I wish I were paid to write anything that comes to mind. Mr. Willy Socialism is evil Attempted to answer some of his detractors by pointing to a portion of Article 1 section8 of the US Constitution which he quoted as:
Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution enumerates just what federal functions Congress has taxing and spending authority. Among them are national defense, post offices and post roads, courts and a few other activities
a "few other activities" such as? Well being one who during myh college years kept a copy of the constitution on my person at all times, I went back and looked at exactly what section 8 says:
Section. 8.
Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Clause 2: To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
Clause 5: To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
Clause 6: To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
Clause 8: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
Clause 9: To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
Clause 10: To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
Clause 11: To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
Clause 12: To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
Clause 13: To provide and maintain a Navy;
Clause 14: To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
Clause 15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
Clause 16: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
Clause 17: To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, byCession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;--And
Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
I'm not seeing how this helps Willy's argument. Furthermore there are other sections of the Constitution that directly contradict Willy's point, which was that the taking of public funds to give to some other entity is wrong and that the Federal government does not have the right to do so (he called it theft).
The very next section of the constitution states the following:
Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.
how are appropriations made? Well by the powers described in Section 7 and Section 8. In other words had Willy actually read the document that he chose to back up his argument he would have seen that he had no argument.
In the end Willy's problem is not the mechanics of how public money gets used, it's what it is used for. I think he has an excellent point on that. I definitely do not agree with my taxes going to Israel or Iraq. I don't agree with the massive defence spending that is used to bomb the US' way out of stuff they talked themselves into. But Willy decides to use faulty arguments that most people can see through. And he wonders why he get's asked dumb questions by the press.

The objective was to create tool, to be used by the upper management of Exxon, to explain the next hundred years of oil exploration in the largest oil region in the world, all in 60 seconds.
This story was told in four stages, using four plexi-glass lenses. Each lens represents one of four man made islands that are currently being built to replace 90 traditional wellhead platforms. A fifth lens can be placed on the island of Zirku- which is a natural island where all of the crude oil is refined.
The top screen represents the surface of the oil region from a satellite view. This screen contains infrared cameras which can recognize markers on the bottom of each lens. This allowed us to track each lens, and create different states based on their trajectory and location.
The bottom screen represents the subsurface. This screen constantly updates to reflect how activity on the surface is affecting the sub-surface. This view moves in sync with the active lens which is being moved on the top screen. You can rotate the view on the bottom screen, by rotating the lens. The interaction is further improved with animation and sound effects.
Art Director: Initial design explorations, Interaction, Final Design, Photography, Animation tests, InDesign Presentation.
Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Maya, Pen and Paper.
Creative Director, Art Director (myself), An Architect, A Junior Designer, Two Creative Technologists, and a fabrication company.
3 Months: Design, and Discovery Phase, including fabrication
2 Months: Delivery, Onsite Management Abu Dhabi
* Originally displayed at a global oil conference, once the conference was finished, it was moved to the Zadco corporate headquarters in Saudi Arabia.
Top Screen - topographic view of the ocean floor.
Bottom Screen - perspective view, revealing the subterranean infrastructure.
Present day. Ninety well-head-platforms. All five lenses are on the left side of the top screen. A pulsing animation indicates that the first lens is ready to be moved.
As the first lens is moved, a pulsing animation indicates where it should be placed. Once the lens one is placed in the correct spot, the island is built, drill points animate out, the timeline moves forward, and the infographics update. Well-head-platforms within the range of the new island are decommissioned.
The second lens is placed on the North island.
The third lens is placed on the Central Island. This island acts as both a drill site and a central hub for transporting oil to Zirku.
The fourth lens is placed on the West Island. All well-head platforms have now been decommissioned.
The fifth lens is places on Zirku (where all oil is refined) and we see and overview of the finished project. Four man made islands capable of out performing 90 well-head platform, and paving the way for stable oil production for decades to come.
Research and Development
Renderings of the final form factor- shown here from four angles.
Font sizes were tested on both displays for legibility.
Early in the design process we began designing graphics intended to tell two major plot points.
1. The increase of oil production.
2. The consolidation story: starting with 90 well-head platforms, and ending with 4 man-made islands.
It was part of our job to seek out documents from the client, to ask questions, and to become quick experts. I often find that technical documents and visualizations are the best inspiration for design.
Before landing on a three dimensional view, we explored many variations of what the sub-surface might look like.
..and of course we did a LOT of real world testing. Problems solved during this phase: increasing processing speed, matching colors between two different displays that use different technology, improving user interaction through animation and sound effects.
...and my initial sketch. When confronted with a design problem my first impulse is to brainstorm using pen and paper.

Upcoming Book
I looked out the two storey window and thought to myself "would it hurt anymore than it does already if I jumped","would anyone really miss me!". I felt that there was no one, the screaming got louder in my head and I screamed silently from the deepest part of my soul, my heart ached so much that it felt like it was bursting out of my chest, I just wanted it all to stop. What happened that night I do not remember, my last memory was of pain and anguish, fear and loneliness. The next morning I awoke in my bed tucked in safely. Did one of my house- mates come in and find me a desperate wreck on the floor and put me to bed? I checked the door, it was still locked from the inside, "God, maybe I am going crazy", I couldn't even remember putting myself to bed! I just was so confused, a sudden calm came over me and I realised that I was the only one to save me, I was the one to give myself the kick up the backside and start living again, if I waited for anyone else to save me….I may be waiting a long time. Without realising it at that very moment, I had been saved, I wasn't meant to leave this life at that particular moment, I had been helped but not by any physical person, I had been spoken to and helped, but little did I know that it was still my decision, my free will to come back to this Earth and make it the best life I possibly could. I didn't realise I had a soul plan for 'Sharon', I didn't understand back then everything I had ever been through in my life had led me to that particular moment in my life where I questioned the purpose of it, if it really was worth living, if I had meaning in my life for myself or for anyone else and without realising it I began a quest, a quest for life, I never knew it would lead me to this moment where I now sit and write these words I now share with you. I will tell you of my life and how without even realising it or understanding it, I have always been helped, I have always been guided and I am exactly where I should be at this moment in time. To get to where I am now I will tell you some of my life story, I don't want you to feel sorry for me or see me as a victim, I don't want you to judge the people that have hurt me in the past, I just want you to understand where I came from and how I got to this very moment and decided to write the words that may help someone else to find their own path of healing. I will tell you of my experiences as I saw and felt them as a child growing up and how I feel about them now. I am not that child anymore frightened and scared.
I am Divinely Guided and I give thanks everyday for choosing to remain on this Earth to fulfil my Soul's plan, if I didn't I would have affected so many other people's lives and imagine not being able to get up every morning and see the sky, to feel my breath, to hear the wind, to smell the grass, to walk on this Earth, to BE. I AM, I will always BE. I invite you now to come on my journey and hope in some small way it will open your heart just a little more to the beauty of the Divine Energy that we all are.

When a purchase is submitted by a customer, the cart is converted to a PurchaseOrder. This is done by calling the Cart.SaveAsPurchaseOrder method. When this method is called, an order number (PurchaseOrder.TrackingNumber property) is automatically assigned to the new PurchaseOrder using a default algorithm. However, the algorithm can be overridden so that an order number that is more appropriate to your implementation is set for the TrackingNumber property.
Classes referred to here are available in the following namespaces:
How it works
The Cart has a public delegate property called CreateOrderNumber.
Example: the delegate signature for CreateOrderNumber
public delegate string CreateOrderNumber(Cart cart);
This delegate is null by default. When the SaveAsPurchaseOrder method is executed and no delegate is set, the default delegate is created and executed.
However, if the delegate is set with a custom method prior to executing the SaveAsPurchaseOrder method, the custom delegate will be run.
Example: the part of the SaveAsPurchaseOrder method that runs the custom delegate
// from inside SaveAsPurchaseOrder method
// Set tracking number
if (this.OrderNumberMethod == null)
this.OrderNumberMethod = new CreateOrderNumber(GenerateOrderNumber);
purchaseOrder.TrackingNumber = OrderNumberMethod(this);
Example: implementing a custom order number generator
//custom order number method
private string CustomOrderNumber(Cart cart)
//implement custom logic here to return a custom order number in string format
//somewhere in your method where you are completing the checkout process
//Set the Cart order generator delegate
CartHelper.Cart.OrderNumberMethod = new CreateOrderNumber(CustomOrderNumber);
//now convert the cart into a purchase order

All day yesterday players on the Saints and around the league were throwing up the X for Dez Bryant and I had to go back and make sure that I read the headlines correct that he tore his achilles and did not in fact die.
You probably thought I was going to bash players for showing respect to a player that got hurt before taking a snap for a team this year but you would be wrong. I actually think it's pretty cool. I love what the Saints offense does and I was really looking forward to see what they did with Dez. Dez was stuck on that Cowboys team forever and he just wanted a chance to win and I respect that. It also shows how close of a locker room the Saints have that a guy can be there for 36 hours and they already have his back.
I'm happy to hear that Sean Peyton is open to bringing Dez back for next year. Dez is a very passionate player and there is always room in the NFL for players like that.
Now as the great Poets Semisonic said "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." With Dez Bryant being hurt that opens a spot for the Saints to sign someone else. That someone else being Brandon Marshall.
This is what I said last week about the possibility of the Saints signing Brandon Marshall….
Why not Brandon Marshall you ask? I love Brandon Marshall but there is one stat about Brandon Marshall that makes him unsignable (spell check is telling me that unsignable is probably not a word but they can go fuck themselves). Brandon Marshall has played 13 seasons, has 970 catches for 12,351 yards, and has 83 career touchdowns. Do you know what Brandon Marshall does not have? A PLAYOFF APPEARANCE. If you sign Brandon Marshall your season will DIE. Brees will get hurt, Bridgewater will blow out his robotic knee, Kamara's nose will get ripped off by the ring, Goodell will retroactively suspend Michael Thomas for 9 games for cell phone usage, and Hue Jackson will somehow become coach. The Saints would burn.
The above remains true but My guess is that they think whatever voodoo Drew Brees is working with is strong than the curse of Brandon Marshall.

The French state on Wednesday said it would nationalise the STX France shipyard if Italy does not accept its offer to split STX's capital equally.
It put down a marker on the limits of economic liberalism under new President Emmanuel Macron.
The threat raises the stakes in a standoff over the shipyard's fate, the only one in France with facilities large enough to build aircraft carriers.
Fincantieri agreed in May to pay 79.5 million euros (92.6 million dollars) for two-thirds of STX France, which is being sold following the collapse of South Korean parent STX.
However, the Italian bid has raised fears for French jobs at the Saint-Nazaire site on the Atlantic Coast.
French Economy Minister Bruno Maire said the nationalisation would give the state more time to find a better shareholder deal.
He said even if its temporary, it would mark the first major state intervention in the corporate world by Macron's government, which was elected on a pro-business platform.
Italian interests rejected the French proposal for ownership of STX France to be split equally between Italian state-owned shipbuilder Fincantieri and Paris.
Both Fincantieri Chief Executive Giuseppe Bono and Italian Industry Minister Carlo Calenda raised the prospect that Fincantieri could walk away from the deal if France backed away from conditions agreed under the former government of President Francois Hollande.
"We are Europeans and on STX we cannot accept being treated worse than the Koreans," Bono said on a conference call in reference to the shipyard's previous majority owner.
Italian Economy Minister Pier Padoan later took a more conciliatory tone, saying Italy was open to changing the terms of the deal, but insisted Fincantieri must have control.
"We have offered to listen to the new government's requirements, but there is no reason why Fincantieri should give up a majority stake and control of the French company."

5 Reasons;Cricket is not in olympics
1. It is because a single match of cricket takes about 8 hours ,which means a full ground has to be kept reserved for the whole day.
2.In the whole world about 18-20 countries play cricket seriously,(though the number of countries were cricket is played may exceed 130)but olympic is for the whole world.
3.For cricket matches a complete new ground has to be made which means more expenditure.
4.Time spent for watching cricket is much more than watching a exciting football or hockey match.
5.Cricket is a famous game ,so most of the people will watch it,that means other stadiums will remain empty.
But with the new version of cricket Twenty -20 we can expect cricket to be included in olympics in near future.
T20 may include in Olympics: ICC [20 Aug, 2008]
President of International Cricket Council (ICC), David Morgan has said that Twenty20 cricket might be included in Olympics, adding everyone will have to work jointly to make it in 2020 Olympics. Different proposals have been given to include the T20 cricket in Olympics. Former Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist kicked off this campaign by issuing a statement that administrators should press for the inclusion of Twenty20 cricket in the Olympics from 2020. He said time has come for the Gentleman's game to be a permanent part, especially with the advent of Twenty20. Many players supported the Gilchrist's idea of including T20 in Olympics.
Gilchrist calls for 20/20 cricket at Olympics in 2020 !
MELBOURNE - Cricketer Adam Gilchrist has called for the sport's Twenty20 format to be adopted as an Olympic event in the year 2020.
A week out from the opening of the Beijing Games, Gilchrist claimed that re-introducing cricket as an Olympic sport would have the dual benefit of growing the sport internationally, and also boosting the Olympic movement's popularity on the subcontinent.
The former Australian star, who retired from international cricket this year but played in the inaugural Indian Premier League, urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to push for cricket to be considered for inclusion at the 2020 Olympics.
"Cricket was part of the 1900 Olympics, when Great Britain beat France. But with Twenty20 cricket here to stay, now is the time for the 10 full-member nations of the ICC to plan for the development of the sport over the next 100 years," Gilchrist wrote in an article for the Deccan Chronicle, an Indian newspaper.
"Over the next century, the challenge for all of us who love the game is to spread the word of cricket to parts of the globe that have never heard of it and currently don't play our sport.
"We have a responsibility to grow our game in new territories and amongst the women of the world.
"I believe the Olympic Games is the vehicle the sport should use to aggressively sell the message of our sport to all 202 competing Olympic nations, so our sport is strong and robust in countries where it is currently played and exciting and ground-breaking in countries who haven't yet caught the cricket bug."
Gilchrist envisaged the Twenty20 format could become popular in countries like the United States, China, Italy, France and Japan, which could all provide strong men's and women's teams.
Those nations participating in the Olympics could then pave the way for Test cricket to be played in more countries, he said.
In turn, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would also benefit from cricket's inclusion, Gilchrist said, as the sport would act as the vehicle to boost the Olympics' presence on the subcontinent, which boasts almost a quarter of the world's population.
"Is it a realistic dream? I really believe it is. The ICC has already taken the step to become a recognised Olympic sport and that is the first step on the road to becoming part of the Olympic program," Gilchrist wrote.
"The Olympic movement knows it needs to increase its presence in the Asian subcontinent as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh contribute nearly 22 per cent of the world's population.
"In theory, this is a win-win for the Olympic movement and the ICC and its members."
Gilchrist said the ICC should promote cricket to the IOC after the Beijing Games, to give the sport a chance of being selected, in 2013, for inclusion for the 2020 Games.
He said an Olympic cricket tournament would not compromise the sport's already jammed schedule, as a small window was needed once every four years.
ICC president investigates cricket at the Olympics !
David Morgan, the ICC president, believes Twenty20 could fit neatly into the Olympic schedule, but has warned the sport to think carefully about a push for a spot at the 2020 Games. Adam Gilchrist started the campaign earlier this month and Morgan has been in Beijing this week seeing how the event works and meeting with officials.
Cricket gained recognition status from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) last year and Morgan said Twenty20 would suit the Olympic timetable "without any difficulty whatsoever". However, fitting the tournament into cricket's already-crammed international schedule could be a concern.
"It is something that cricket has to think about very carefully," Morgan told AFP. "This visit, these few days, give us the opportunity to assess the potential for cricket becoming an Olympic sport."

In the midst of the steadily growing chaos and despair of "the great die-off," a young man named Edgar Markham, laid off from his high school math-teaching job like so many million of others, and driven from his modest home by attacking marauders who burnt it down after cleaning out what was left of his worldly wealth, wandered the savage streets disconsolately, looking for someone—anyone—who would hire him to do odd jobs in return for a meal. But Edgar had devised a secret, which sustained him through the very harshest of times. No matter what happened, he would find an undisturbed place to sit in a lotus position, or kneel, or even stand—and put his palms together, and then recite the following mantra, one verb or verb phrase on each breath:
Breathe, Observe, Let Go.
Be well, Do good work, Keep in touch.
Learn, Teach, Heal, Create.
Depending on how much time he had, Edgar explored his mantra at various levels. For example, if something upsetting or devastating occurred nearby—if he was threatened, robbed, or beaten up, or faced any other stressful circumstance—he made do with the first three: "Breathe, Observe, Let Go." With more time on his hand, he would explore the deeper implications of each of these injunctions, and they always brought him inner equanimity, no matter how harsh the external circumstances. From that equanimity, he gradually developed the ability to act with wisdom, compassion, and serene competence, no matter what the circumstances. When he was hungry, he would join his palms and politely ask people for food, and if rudely rebuffed, he smiled and moved on—no matter how hungry he felt.
Soon enough, his unremitting gentleness and equanimity gained him adherents—people who would take care of him, sharing whatever food they had. Others gathered to hear him teach, and his teachings always began with, and spun off, his Mantra. Soon, the mantra caught on. And as the general level of equanimity increased, the level of violence decreased, as people sought cooperative ways to solve their steadily growing problems.
Out of all this, the Gaia Movement was born. And the "seed" of the Gaia movement was Edgar's mantra, which came to be called the "Dharma Gaia Mantra." The Gaians—whose ethos involved total self-identification with the entire planet—did not regard anyone as their enemies; they saw all life as holy, and if they encountered violence, they treated it as evidence of the three poisons—greed, ignorance, and hatred—and saw themselves as "teachers" and the perpetrators of violence—even violence against them—as their "students." By spreading openness and tolerance and compassion everywhere they went, they won adherents even of those who initially denounced or ridiculed them, and soon were teaching people how to collaborate in order to solve their growing problems, both locally and globally. And it was all based on their practice—in every conceivable circumstance—of the Dharma Gaia Mantra. This was the sum total of their teaching—and because it involved no mandatory beliefs, it was fully compatible with every religious tradition on the planet. So soon there were Gaian Christians, Gaian Jews, Gaian Buddhists, Gaian Muslims, Gaian Hindus, and secular Gaians everywhere, as the terminal Cancer of the Earth went gradually into Spontaneous Remission.

STANLEY-owned CribMaster has released a smaller version of its ProStock industrial vending machine for the distribution of tools, safety glasses, aerosols and other consumables.
The original ProStock comes as standard with 10 carousels vending up to 560 items. With the new ProStock mini there is the ability mix and match carousels and lockers to dispense up to 280 items at the point of use. Each self-calibrating carousel is configurable for custom section dimensions and can function as a main or auxiliary unit.
STANLEY CribMaster is an inventory management solution, with both software and hardware that fully automate the process of controlled inventory dispensing, stock re-orders and replenishment, tool calibration scheduling, tracking and locating consumables and tools.
Providing full visibility and control of consumables and tools in real-time, the machines provide workers 24/7 controlled access to materials and, according to CribMaster, reduce inventory spending by 25–45% in the first year.
Chris Magson, European Sales Director for STANLEY CribMaster, said: "The pie-shaped sections of the carousels in the ProStock allows facilities to accurately manage the distribution of hundreds of items to their workforce.
"The ProStock, with its high-capacity storage capability but small footprint, powered by STANLEY CribMaster software, can greatly improve workflow in any plant."
Any time workers access the machine, they are required to identify themselves in the system, which then records and keeps accurate counts of item flow. When the stocks reach their pre-determined minimum, the system automatically places an order with the preferred supplier. Thanks to customisable settings, it is possible to limit the access by worker, by product type, by quantity and run your plant in a safer, smarter and more efficient way. In addition, managers automatically receive scheduled overstock, understock and dead stock reports, upcoming tool calibration alerts and can track their consumable spending by employee, job or time period for accounting and budgetary analysis to have a reliable intelligence that enables more informed purchasing decisions.

Article on Gooood.hk
With temperatures ranging from +30 o C in the summer to -30 o C in the winter, this 100% mineral Living Wall had to be designed to perform year-round. Butong was chosen to improve the overall impression in the cold season.
The panel is translucent and can be back lit. Back lit panels add a quality to the dark season when you
can´t expect much Green on a wall in Sweden. Plants were selected, nursed and planted by plant expert
Peter Korn. All selected plants spread through root-shoots, for the growth to expand naturally, and had to
fulfil at least one other criteria: Being Winter-Green or having foliage that disappears in winter or having
long periods of flowering. For 9-10 months/year at least one species in the wall will be flowering.
Each panel has a smooth 3D shape for the wall to imitate rocks of the Archipelago. The theory being that a
more nature like look create greater understanding for a more random coverage of plants. All though the
red copper tint of the panels was chosen to contrast nicely with the green of the plants, the 3D aspect
makes it natural enough to periodically have barren parts on the wall.

I got the chance to see an advanced screening of Big Hero 6, and it was awesome! I was able to view the movie free of charge, but as always, I speak the truth. All opinions are my own.
It's All About Soul
Big Hero 6 is one of those rare family movies that really does have something for everyone. It's a classic story of good vs. evil. It's also a classic story of friendship, loss, love, and redemption. Plus, it has Baymax. Hiro Hamada is a punky kid. He participates in illegal bot fighting to make money and generally uses his impressive intellect for nothing that benefits anyone. His brother, Tadashi, attends college where he and his friends are on the cutting edge of science. They produce all kinds of cool doodads and gadgets and generally work to make the world a batter place. When Tadashi is killed in an explosion, Hiro finds his brother's invention, Baymax, a personal healthcare robot. Baymax quickly become Hiro's best friend, and together they set out to find the cause of the explosion that killed Tadashi.
Western and Eastern Art Forms Beautifully Combined
Before Big Hero 6 was a hit movie, it was a comic book. It was an AWESOME comic book that combined the western story telling of the comic books we all know and love with the flair of manga inspired artwork. Plus… Baymax. In keeping with eastern/western mashup, the story takes place in San Fransokyo. It's a completely beautiful conglomeration of San Francisco and Tokyo. It's beautiful. Also, Baymax. Are you noticing a theme? I love Baymax.
Big Hero 6 is Awesome… and Baymax
Big Hero 6 is awesome. Baymax is awesome. That's all you need to know. =D Seriously, though. What I've said is all you're getting out of me. I don't believe in spoilers! Go check out the movie for yourself. It's totally the bizomb. Also… Baymax. When you see the movie, you'll understand why I'm all about him!

Hawaii has a new idea for reducing its homeless population and it's a controversial one. The state will buy one-way plane tickets to send homeless people who came from the mainland back, if they volunteer and have people willing to support them.
For more on this idea, I'm joined by reporter Chris Tanaka of Hawaii News Now. He's in Honolulu. Chris, welcome.
CHRIS TANAKA: Thank you for having me, good day.
BLOCK: This is going to be pilot program for three years. There's $100,000 that's been allocated by legislature. What do the supporters say about why they think this is a good idea?
TANAKA: Well, obviously I think there's a great deal of empathy for people wanting to be reunited with their families. And reuniting the homeless with their families on the mainland is something that has been done in Hawaii by 501c3s, but it's never been legislated. So that's the obvious point.
Proponents and authors of the return to home program also say it's a great deal of fiscal conservatism that's going on because with the Social Service programs that are available to the homeless here, we can actually save money, taxpayer money, by sending them back instead of supporting the chronically homeless over the course of months and years.
BLOCK: Well, as I mentioned, it is a controversial idea. Tell me what opponents of the plan are saying about it.
TANAKA: I think the most notable opponent is the entity that's tasked with overseeing the implementation of it. That's the Department of Human Services. They have gone on the record saying it'll be costly and administratively burdensome. They also said in a statement to me, they were concerned that the program is an invitation to purchase a one-way ticket to Hawaii and know that there's a guaranteed return flight home.
BLOCK: And homeless advocates, what do they have to say?
TANAKA: I spoke with a noted social services expert on the island, who obviously, ideologically, was in favor of the idea because of the statistically increased chances of a homeless person gaining employment and getting a home when they have and are surrounded by a support group. But this person also did voice some concerns, namely the logistics involved in identifying the homeless person, identifying the family, avoiding abuse and most importantly was the type of aftercare these individuals will receive once they get back to the mainland.
He wanted to make sure that there's going to be some social services available to the people who participate in this program on the other end of that plane ride.
BLOCK: What are the numbers of homeless estimated in Hawaii? How big a population are we talking about?
TANAKA: It's difficult to say with accuracy. The numbers that I used were based on the numbers that were given in Senate Bill 515, which were based on the amount of people who took advantage of social services in the island. That number was 14,200 across the state who were served in some capacity in 2011.
BLOCK: Has the homeless population been growing in Hawaii? Is the idea that there are more and more people who are coming to Hawaii, specifically, who end up homeless?
TANAKA: It hasn't grown substantially over the past few years and this program, which is the 12th section of an 18-section bill doesn't really aim to tackle the homeless problem. There are other sections of the bill with far greater appropriations that would probably be far greater in their effectiveness in dealing with homelessness, namely clean and sober housing, substance abuse treatment and facilities, rental assistance programs.
This portion of the bill was designed specifically to help individuals and not to tackle the overall problem of homelessness in the state of Hawaii.
BLOCK: That's reporter Chris Tanaka of Hawaii News Now, speaking from Honolulu. Chris, thanks so much.
TANAKA: Thank you.

iphone 4S Repair success
dgood -
10 - 30 minutes
My Problem
The battery did not hold a charge, and speaker output no sound whatsoever.
My Fix
Initially, I ordered only the battery, and confirmed that would fix that issue first off. Once I confirmed that it did so, I then ordered the speaker. At the time of ordering the speaker, I also ordered a dock connector, just in case I needed to replace that as well. Replacing the speaker though solved the issue. :)
My Advice
Just take your time and things will go smoothly.
