They are hoping he makes it through and he is able to go to the minors. If he is assigned to the minors, he would probably spend the entire season there, as he would probably get picked up on re-entry waivers at half price if the Stars tried to bring him back up.
The Stars say a year in the minors could do Brunnstrom some good.
Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk said he looked to trade Brunnstrom, but could not find a taker. Brunnstrom is on a one-year contract for $600,000, so he seems like he could have value to a team. We'll know by 11 a.m. if a team has put a claim in on him.
The Stars will probably go with 13 forwards even though Jamie Benn is still injured (concussion-like symptoms). They can always call up an extra guy if they need to. However, Benn looks like he might be able to play Monday at Tampa Bay, and there's no sense in calling up Tomas Vincour or Aaron Gagnon if they're just going to be a healthy scratch.

What does IFB mean?
- Invitation for bid
- An invitation for bid or invitation to bid is an invitation to contractors or equipment suppliers, through a bidding process, to submit a proposal on a specific project to be realized or product or service to be furnished. IFB is generally the same thing as Request for Quotation. The IFB or RFQ is focused on pricing, and not on ideas or concepts. If not stated otherwise, the contractor or supplier with the lowest bid is awarded the contract, provided that they meet the minimum criteria for the bid. This is in contrast to a request for proposal, in which case other reasons might cause or allow choice of the second best offer. An RFP is a request for a price from a buyer but the buyer would also expect suggestions and ideas on how the project work should be done. RFPs are thus focused on more than just pricing/cost, they entail a bit of consulting from the contractor or vendor.

Collider Activity Center Competition Entry Radionica Arhitekture
Radionica Arhitekture unveiled their proposal of Collider Activity Center in Sofia. The proposal won one of the five first prizes. More images and architects' description after the break.
In the large fun park in the suburbs of Sofia we build a small artificial "mountain". In it's surroundings it is an "island mountain" or Uluru as Australian natives called the large lonely red stone in his desert. To the Aborigines Uluru is a holy place and they never climb on it. Our "island mountain", let us call it Uluru 2 for the time being, has exactly the opposite function. It's purpose is to be climbed constantly.
Therefore it has got a glass umbrella in order to be functional while heavy rain or snow falling. At night when the area under the umbrella is light upon by spotlights, this little mountain or big rock is transformed into a lighthouse visible from all over Sofia.
But, this is still not a "meteor", but a building. It's three basic layers are open in front of us like when you are peeling off an onion. The first, outer layer is the "envelope", the glass façade. That is the raincoat which protects climbers from extreme weather conditions like extreme cold or heat, rain, snow, strong wind and sun.
Here, people come to climb the building or just hang around on the terraces of the "stone roof" and watch others climb. The third, the inner layer is the "core", composed of specialized spaces linked by elevators and stairs from the restaurant at the bottom to the bar on the top.
At certain places these assemblies bridge the hall and exit on the facade in order to allow the visitors or employees natural lighting, ventilation, or just a look outside.

can someone explain what is wrong with Preston other than the fact that his comics suck
can someone explain what is wrong with Preston other than the fact that his comics suck
We've said this before. He's a huge prick and rejects any kind of criticism.
Other than that, he used to be an inflation artist that posed as a sixteen year old girl. Also, I find his nintendo fanboyism annoying as fuck.
Somehow, I can actually tolerate him despite all the bullshit he's done. How do I still not hate him, yet?
Hell, I only feel some to no anger when I see his excuses and horrible comics. This is starting to worry me.
Copy-pasting other peoples creations into a foul-looking collage.
How creative.
It's the fact that he posts sub standard art while calling himself a professional cartoonist, while being completely unable to accept criticsm. Most of the time, simply blocking those who critisize him the the first place.
Also, he is the worst comic story writer i've ever seen with such a large following.
Orange and blue is a good color scheme.
I lol'd because I thought the two swords where lightsabers.
But not when they fucking spread themselves all over each other making it look like a complete eyesore.
Dump time then bed
for the love of god how the fuck do i everything
stop post
just try to be as rad as this dude with daddy's work cameras
k i'm done night everyguys
he's "that guy" except he doesn't even buy the cameras though
You do NOT put tails and ears on Animated Starscream and call him a furry.
i've just read almost every page of this thread
and i have to say
I am absolutely fucking horrified
You start to get used to it. I've never really seen something that bad though.
Even deviantart has it's limits.
i think we peaked at human face ponies
it was chell morphed into a cube and the circles were actually covers for her face and orifices, mounted via drilldo
Where does the third arm come from?!
oh man applebeans sold a print
where's that one print of the bad sonic mspaint job someone bought in a previous thread
someone repost the one with two ponies about to fuck and a third one walking up on them
It's now framed and sitting next to me on my desk, will post a picture of it tomorrow.
These are bases BTW
oh please show me your hidden blade altair
Someone needs to set up an art trade with the guy who drew the troll fighting squad.
He will "draw your character i will if you draw one of mine as well ^^"

This summer, for the 55th time, the Venice Biennale features an overwhelming amount of art from all over the world. With the spotlight on the nations that for years have brought their art to the City of Water, there are some new additions outside of the main space of the Arsenale and Giardini park. Artists from Eastern Europe and Central Asia – regions separated for decades by the so-called iron curtain – are now regular participants of the Biennale.
Russia. Russia is definitely not staying on the sidelines this year. Russian art patron Leonid Mikhelson (net worth $15.4 bln, Russia's third richest man), through his foundation V-A-C, is one of the main sponsors of this year's Biennale. The Russian pavilion in Giardini Park is represented by Vadim Zakharov's installation Danaë (curated by Udo Kittelmann), a modern interpretation of an old Greek myth, with golden coins falling from the roof into a "ladies only" zone where female visitors can walk protected by umbrellas, while men eye them from the upper level. Russian art is not limited by the sleek and shiny national pavilion: The Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA) brought a couple of exhibitions to this year's Biennale—a group exhibition Lost in Translation and Katya, photographic plates and bronze sculpture by an American artist, Bart Dorsa.
Lost in Translation, a large show featuring artwork by more then 100 Russian artists, found a place in the exhibition space at the main building of the Ca' Foscari University. With paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, videos, installations, performances produced between the 1970s and today, the show has become an intersection of politics, social issues and art. Some pieces like Sergey Bratkov's "Slogan" or Pavel Peppershtein's "Socialism Will Be Back" can indeed lose something in translation, but by no means does it lessen the artistic quality. It offers an intense overview of Russian art made over the past four decades. The show is haunted by the shadows of the soviet past and seems to be bridging it into an uncertain future. Which, admittedly, is a theme that's common for other exhibitions created by countries that have undergone serious transitions in their recent history.
Ukrainian national pavilion. The Monument to a Monument is a show by artists of the younger generation. Mykola Ridnyj, Hamlet Zinkovskyi and Zhanna Kadyrova displayed their artwork in Palazzo Loredan. There are no wooden eggs and iconographic references that Oksana Mas showed at the previous year's Biennale.
This time, Ukrainians delivered sculptures and drawings (a wall full of match boxes with tiny portraits sketched inside them), installations (a video camera with a beam of light made of concrete), and videos filling rooms with glimpses of Ukraine's turbulent recent years, with the destruction of the utopia of the past and history manipulation as some of the motifs.
Ukraine is no stranger to social and political problems: "An artist, I believe, must not forget about them and has to reflect on them in some way," said Mykola Ridnyj, whose project was inspired by the recent dismantling of an old Soviet monument that for four decades was a landmark in his native city of Kharkiv. In addition to showing the monument being taken down, he brought videos with stories from the 1990s.
Sergej Khachaturov, an art critic from Russia, said at the opening that he appreciated the artists' efforts to integrate social and political issues. "It's nice that this show suggests creative participation of the audience," he added.
Azerbaijan. The national pavilion presented Ornamentation, an exhibition featuring six artists from Baku (Rashad Alakbarov, Sanan Aleskerov, Chingiz Babayev, Butunay Hagverdiyev, Fakhriyya Mammadova, Farid Rasulov), and it was commissioned by a foundation headed by Azerbaijan's First Lady, Mehriban Aliyeva. The pavilion is adorned with traditional, decorative patterns and displays photographs, installations and paintings.
Besides the Azerbaijani Pavilion, there was a group show produced by YARAT! – a relatively new non-profit organization from Baku. It's titled Love Me, Love Me Not, and located on the north side of Arsenale, showcasing work by 17 artists from Azerbaijan and its neighbors – Iran, Turkey, Russia, and Georgia.
"We wanted to show the connection between these countries that are in close contact—and the differences between us, at the same time." Said Aida Mahmudova, the founder of YARAT! and an artist herself. She brought to Venice a sculpture, Recycled, made of metal window grates she had found in Baku and stainless steel.
Traditional carpets seem to be an infinite source of inspiration for Azerbaijani artists. However, Faig Ahmed's thread installation breaks the pattern: he destroyed the carpet by pulling the threads out of a carpet, creating an "embroidered space". "I like to make them and change them" Ahmed said.
The time of transition – breaking ties with the Soviet Union and forging on into mysterious capitalism – shows through various parts of the exhibition, such as Orkhan Huseynov's recreation of a typical living room of the 1990s, full of western VHS tapes and posters of Bruce Lee.
While some may have described this year's Biennale as political and "bleak, recession-era", emerging countries (not just Ukraine, Russia, and Azerbaijan but also Georgia, Lithuania, Armenia, countries of Central Europe and the Middle East among others) generate art that captures change and irony, often creating unexpected narratives.

Fifty years ago today, President Kennedy, speaking before a joint session of Congress, said, "I believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth."
Love that "the."
Kennedy (or his speechwriter, Theodore Sorensen, who died last year) could have left it out.
Earth, alone, article-less, is what things return to. You throw a ball in the air, and it returns to earth. You jump out of an airplane and open your parachute, and you return to earth. But that earth, with a lowercase "e," suggests merely what we walk on. It's the stuff, gravitationally speaking, that grounds us.
You can also return to Earth, with an uppercase "E." That "Earth" is a bit more poetic than "earth"; it suggests a planet. But absent an article, it's a planet that feels familiar. It's our home—our landscape, our sky and earth. Goes without saying.
But "the" Earth? Why a definite article? Clearly not to distinguish the Earth from an Earth—from one of those other Earths out there. No, I suspect the purpose of that word was to distance us, however subtly, from our preconceptions.
Kennedy wasn't just setting in motion a space equivalent of the Manhattan Project, a military and scientific demonstration of might in the Cold War. He was putting the voyage into a cosmic perspective. From the point of view of someone on the moon, Earth isn't just something to return to. It's that thing over there, big and blue and rising over the horizon. It is a feature in the lunar landscape—a landscape that comes with its own sky and a pockmarked surface.
With one word, barely a breath, a syllable you could harmlessly omit following all the rhetoric—the conviction ("I believe"), the patriotism ("this nation"), the call to action ("should commit itself"), the appeal to glory ("achieving the goal"), the urgency ("before this decade is out"), the audacity ("landing a man on the moon"), the hint of fear, or courage, or grace ("returning him safely")—Kennedy ungrounded us. He put us in our place, and it was a different place from where we'd been at the beginning of the sentence. It was the place we'd be before the decade was out.
"The": one small word for a man, one giant context for mankind.

Not long after its relocation to its current residence on School Street in beautiful Houlton, Maine in 1996, GHCA began hosting international students. After graduating from the Academy with a solid education, these students have found success while pursuing degrees in American colleges. Academy students from Korea, Japan, and China continue to enjoy the friendly community while developing academic skill and personal character in a safe and supportive environment.
Pioneered in 1986 by a small group of parents who desired a Godly education for their children, the Academy is now the only state approved Christian school in the state of Maine dually accredited by both the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and the Association of Christian Schools International. The fully certified teaching staff dedicate themselves to creating a caring learning environment that encourages individual character and promotes academic growth. The co-curricular program offers a competitive interscholastic sports program.
Houlton is a bustling small town surrounded by rolling farmland, small villages, and abundant crystal lakes. Being a border town, Houlton enjoys the added cultural experience of its Canadian friends, some of whom attend the Academy as students. One hour away is Baxter State Park, the state's largest park with over 178, 000 acres boasting the majestic mile high peak of Mount Katahdin. Within one hour's drive is Presque Isle with its University of Maine campus, libraries, shopping center, airport and restaurants. Two hours to the south is the major cultural center of Bangor, where Houlton residents go to enjoy shopping, restaurants, and the arts.
International students build wholesome life time relationships with their host families and school friends, enjoy an open and friendly culture while experiencing a challenging and caring learning community at Greater Houlton Christian Academy.
Contact the Main Office for specific information for international students.

Then he married Antiope 2, daughter of Pylo, son of Naubolus 4, having many children by her: Iphitus 1, Clytius 1, Toxeus 4, Molion 1, Didaeon, and Deioneus 4. Eurytus 4 was a skilful archer, and believing himself invincible he challenged Apollo, but the god, angry at his arrogance slew him. But others say that Eurytus 4 was killed by Heracles 1, being so punished perhaps for not having accepted the compensation for the death of Iphitus 1 that Heracles 1 had offered him. So Heracles 1 pillaged Oechalia, killed Eurytus 4 (the man that had once trained him in archery), and took his daughter Iole captive. It is also told that after Heracles 1 finished his LABOURS, he came to Oechalia to compete in archery for the hand of Iole; he won and yet he was refused the bride by Eurytus 4 and his sons (except Iphitus 1 who said that Iole should be given to Heracles 1), on the ground that he could once more kill his offspring as he had done to his children by Megara. Shortly after some cattle were stolen by the notorious thief Autolycus 1, and Heracles 1 was held responsible; but Iphitus 1 did not believe it and, having gone to meet him, he invited him to seek the cattle with him. Heracles 1 promised to do so but suddenly he went mad again and he threw Iphitus 1 from the walls of Tiryns killing him.

While Other Dems in the US Senate Cave, Carl and Debbie Stand Tall Against Lies
Whether you liked the headline or not in the MoveOn ad, the point was being made that Bush administration lies about the status of the Iraq war need to be challenged. General Petraeus has lied to us before in 2004 about the status of the war and is going to do it again, was the point of the ad and that was backed up with substantial hard evidence from other reports on Iraq.
And while some other Democratic US Senators voted with the Republicans on a resolution in support of the general and against the alleged personal attacks on him, our Michigan Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow courageously did not support that shameful resolution. It is hard to imagine why any Democrat who actually read the MoveOn ad would consider it a personal attack.
At a time when war critics are vilified daily on the Fox Network as being unpatriotic, it seems foolhardy if not hypocritical to "condemn" MoveOn for saying in a headline what we are all thinking. That General is a toady for the Bush administration and he has forgotten his Constitutional pledge to the people. He put himself into the position of telling lies that are no longer believed when they come from the White House. And now some Dems seem to forget why so many of us fought so hard in 2004 and 2006 to help to change our representation in Washington.
The headline of the MoveOn ad was a play on words. But if you actually read beyond the headline, you would have read a simple and true statement. Petraeus has lied about Iraq before and would do it again. Lost in all of the media play was the discussion of this horrible war. Now there is new evidence that as many as a million Iraqi civilians have died thus far.
We were lied into this war and are being lied to again to stay there and waste more lives and our national wealth and honor. Our treasury that should be helping the American people with health care for all, alternative energy to alleviate global warming, a decent education for all of our kids and rebuilding America's deteriorating infrastructure, is being wasted in a war we were lied into.
Our former Allies can only shake their heads about where America is today. But you and I and Debbie and Carl can stand up once again and say, "The war is wrong, we want out of there now."

More details on Houston's newest downtown music festival emerge
Published 5:03 pm, Thursday, August 14, 2014
A new music festival coming to Houston has quite an interesting lineage behind it.
The Lone Star Music Festival bows at Discovery Green on Friday, Nov. 7 and Saturday, Nov. 8, with major headliners blink-182, Steve Aoki, Sublime with Rome, plus heritage acts like Roy Head, Jerry Jeff Walker and Joe Ely. Local stars Paul Wall, The Tontons and The Suffers are also slated to perform. More acts are to be announced, according to the festival's official site.
Tickets go on sale this Saturday, Aug. 16, at noon on the fest's website. There was no word available on ticket prices. It is not affiliated with the famous Texas beer of the same name.
There will be three stages of music at the Lone Star Music Festival, according to Tom Bunch with TAB Management, one of the festival's organizers. There will also be an art component to Lone Star, as well.
"We will construct a main stage and also the use the existing Budweiser and Transier Bandstand stages," Bunch said this week.

The other big name behind the festival is Mark Lacy, the executive director of The Houston Institute For Culture, which usually puts on free cultural events in Houston, like the Juneteenth Festival at Miller Outdoor every June 19. This year that event featured both Allen Toussaint and Ruthie Foster.
Bunch was hired by Lacy's team to produce Lone Star, but he's been a big part of the Houston music scene for some time. From 1983 until 1999 he promoted shows, tours, and ran venues as TAB Concerts, while also managing notorious weirdos the Butthole Surfers and Dallas' Toadies.
Bunch ran The Vatican and Unicorn Ballroom in Houston, two historic Bayou City venues that brought landmark acts to Houston. The Vatican, at 5213 Washington Avenue, played host to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Nine Inch Nails, on their way up the ladder of rock stardom. Bunch also ran the International Club in Montrose, which played host to bands like Black Flag.
The Lone Star Music Festival is just one of several that has made its Houston debuts over the past year.
This year may have been the last hurrah for the Houston International Festival. Declining ticket sales and growing debts led to the organizers announcing earlier this summer that they were filing for bankruptcy.
Regardless, the multi-day music format seems to be growing in the city
Untapped Festival, a beer and music festival rolled into one day debuted at Discovery Green last fall and returns Sept. 20. Last weekend, the first-ever Houston Whatever Festival was held in east downtown around Warehouse Live, and the indie-rock-inflected Downtown Festival arrives the weekend after Lone Star Music Festival.
Free Press Summer Festival wrapped up its sixth edition in June and only seems to be getting bigger each year. Something Wicked will bring EDM to Sam Houston Race Park the last weekend in October. Bassnectar and Kaskade are among announced performers so far for that fest's third edition.
With Houston's continued growth and the young professionals taking residence in the city, Houston is probably bound to have a few more festivals plant roots in town to take advantage of the demographic.

Anecdotes and quotes from President Barack Obama's visit to the Capital Region:
Obama and the Jets: The President praised Andrew Cuomo in his GE speech as someone who "is going to be an outstanding governor."
He then joked that Cuomo tried to offer him a Jets cap -- the New York team is facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday's AFC Championship game -- after Air Force One's arrival in Albany.
"I had the Secret Service confiscate it," Obama said.
As a Chicagoan, the President is rooting for the Bears in Sunday's other big game, the NFC Championship against the Green Bay Packers. This weekend's winners face off in the Super Bowl.
"But I will say both the Jets and the Bears, I think, are slight underdogs," the President said, "so we're going to be rooting for the underdogs on Sunday."
More Information
Read the full text of President Barack Obama's speech at GE at the Capitol Confidential blog, http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol
"I think you saw a little preview of the State of the Union, talking about growth and jobs and a positive future for America -- not a gloom-and-doom future."
-- U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, on Obama's speech.
A man (almost) alone: "Chris Gibson's the only one (Republican) in the plane!," said Assemblyman Jim Tedisco, R-Schenectady, of the crowd of elected officials on Air Force One, which ferried the President and his aides as well as Schenectady Mayor Brian Stratton, U.S. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, plus Rep. Paul Tonko, D-Amsterdam, and Gibson, a Kinderhook Republican elected last year. (Unknown to Tedisco, U.S. Rep. Richard Hanna, R-Utica, was also on the flight.)
Gibson said the White House reached out to him, and that he was delighted at the honor. "I said 'absolutely.' Many of these issues, they're not partisan issues. Energy is an American issue," the freshman congressman said.
"Photo ops don't create jobs. Fiscally conservative policy does. The fact still remains that the President's core philosophy of more government, more spending, more regulation and higher taxes has inhibited our economic recovery." -- State Republican Chairman Ed Cox, in a statement reacting to Obama's speech.
Labor contact: A day after press reports that Gov. Cuomo is considering reducing the state work force by more than 10,000 jobs, he had this exchange with a worker -- who remained unidentified because of the press cordon -- as both waited for Obama to address the crowd at GE:
Worker: "We're counting on you."
Cuomo: "I'm there for you, but you have to get behind me."
The mayor's on the clock: You may have missed Mike Manning during Obama's speech in Building 273, but the mayor of Watervliet was there. He was just sitting with his fellow employees.
Manning, an RPI graduate and materials science engineer, has been working in the building as a consulting engineer for the last three years. He previously worked for GE earlier in his career. And rather than attempt to secure tickets from one of the other, higher-powered elected officials at the event, Manning chose to enter the employee lottery. He won.
Manning said he "waited in line for an hour like a regular joe." He didn't get a chance to attend Obama's 2009 visit to Hudson Valley Community College.
"Hello, Assemblyman. How's that virtual fighting going for you?"
-- Schumer to Assemblyman Bob Reilly, D-Colonie, a staunch opponent of mixed martial arts, also known by the brand name Ultimate Fighting.
The littlest correspondent: By far the most excited member of the press corps at GE for the President's visit was 10-year-old Ellie Sommers, who was covering the event for Scholastic Kids Press. Sommers traveled to Schenectady from her home in Manlius, a Syracuse suburb.
"I was the closest reporter of the 57 in the U.S.," said Sommers, who unlike most reporters was accompanied by her father. She carried a notebook and tape recorder.

Home is where the Heart is.
As is probably evident from most of the images I share in my blog posts, my style is minimal and modern. I keep my home this way as well, but that doesn't mean I don't display photos and knick-knacks too. I realize as I look around that many of my favorite "things" have to do with the memories and stories that go along with each of them. I guess this is a perfect example for the quote, "Home is where the Heart is."
Favorite #1: First of course my favorite thing is my family. My mom is in Tampa and my sister is in San Francisco so I cherish the times when we can be together. We were all in Tampa for a week at Christmas – my sister and I got to act like kids, and my mom got to act like a mom, and we had fun! Those 2 women are a huge inspiration for me and my 2 most favorite people. …along with my husband. I actually tell my husband sometimes that he is my very favorite thing. He is not only a wonderful partner but he is my biggest fan and my best friend. (and he even had fun too with us girls in Tampa!)
Favorite #2: As far as "things" go, top on my list is a painting I did when I was about 5 years old. This is one of my favorites not because it shows off my amazing artistic talent (work with me here) but because it was framed and hung on my grandmother's wall for as long as I can remember. (My grandmother was a lover of art and I thought she had fantastic taste so this was a big deal!) I remember being so proud that she thought my artwork was worthy to frame and hang up. It hangs in my office now as a reminder of my grandmother's larger than life personality and her constant belief in me.
Favorite #3: My carved wood turtle. The wood and the hand carving are both beautiful. And the turtle is pretty cute so he also keeps me company in my office when he's not "working" (see photo below.) But again, I'm realizing my favorite "things" are memories more than the things. This wooden turtle was a gift from my dad. When we were little my dad would bring my sister and me little "souvenirs" from his trips – think T-shirts or teddy bears. As we got older, that didn't happen as much…but one year (we were grown "kids" at this point) he brought us these carved wood animals and to me it was fondly funny to think of it as "you're an adult now, but I can still bring you little things."

Favorite #4: Yes, I have many favorite parts about designing and building my clients homes…. that I am always talking about (here and here) on the blog. My very favorite part is visiting my clients home after they have moved in… I just recently had the pleasure of walking through the Creek House with Brad and Andrew who are obviously genuinely happy in their home and appreciated every minute of them telling me all the ways they love their home. That is definitely my most favorite part about being an architect.
Image from an article published in TRNK: Holiday Entertaining with Birchbox Man by Tariq Dixon
Favorite #5: 6 years ago when I finally passed all 9 of my architecture exams and got my license to be an Architect, my in-laws (not in-laws at the time) sent me a beautiful Murano glass paperweight as a congratulations. My architecture license means a lot to me. This little glass sculpture sits on my desk and reminds me of that very proud moment every time I look at it. It also reminds me how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people rooting for me!
The inspiration for today's post was brought on by Bob Borson of Life of an Architect. This is the 5th post in the ongoing #ArchiTalks series in which Bob gives a group of us (architects who also have blogs) a topic…we all post on the same day and share each others' posts. And so, at Bob's request for us to write about our Favorite Things, I am happy to share A Few with you.
This was a fun post for me to compose…though I have to say it "tugged at my heartstrings" a bit. Don't worry – after this I'll go back to talking about bathrooms and kitchens! 🙂 I look forward to reading about all of my colleagues Favorite Things as well! Check them out below:

This seems to be an appropriate Favorite things list – and I like the fact that the turtle was "kind of" snuck into the photo. I have another architect friend of mine who sneaks himself into at least one image per job of him sleeping. Sometimes it's in a chair that way off in the background, sometimes he's laying on the couch … but he is always "sleeping". I think you know have to work the turtle into every project shoot.
I loved reading this…your grandmother had an eye for talent and beauty!
Love it, Marica. I want to see the turtle!
Nice post. I agree about the turtle. (construction sites?) It took me a while to find that little guy. As I am a dad who brings things to my girls from every trip, so I totally understand that part. And now you gave me an idea to add to my list! Also very interesting about going back to client houses once they are occupied. Most architects do not like people in their buildings! Well really just photos of the buildings. But a nice way to see how your projects worked or did not work as planned.
I am generally not sentimental about things and the memories attached to them. So it was refreshing to read your post, wherein the things themselves are wain in importance next to the meaning they have for you.

Regarding WAR files
Hi All,
I have developed a project for my client which involves uploading images. At present I am storing images within the project, i.e it gets stored within the build folder inside a folder named images. While working in my machine with Netbeans IDE, if I clean and rebuild the project, the images which I had uploaded before also gets deleted. I could actually store the images in a folder outside the project, but it doesn't make sense since while hosting with an external hosting server (like eukhost), I have been allocated a space and I doubt if I could store those images wherever I wish to. This was the problem I faced while developing the project within my machine. So the solution I could find out was never to clean the project.
But now while hosting, if I make slight changes to any files, I will have to deploy a new WAR file. And since my images are stored within the build folder, every time I create a new WAR file, the existing images would get deleted, since for creating the war, don't we have to clean and build the project (this is what I have read somewhere).
I hope you have understood my question. So what is the best solution for me to deploy new war files, so that the images that have been previously uploaded doesn't get deleted.
Thanks in advance.
probably store the images inside a folder within the user's home folder. your hosting provider runs tomcat as a user, that should have a home directory and be able to write stuff to a folder you could create and maintain images into there ?
for example, an "images" folder inside the user's home folder, where ever this happens to be.
Java Code:
File imagesFolder = new File(System.getProperty("user.home"), "images"); System.out.println("images folder is : " + imagesFolder);
Another idea, might be to store the image files into a database, which is also not inside the application folder.
The only thing that should be stored in the application folder is the application, or anything transient or computed that you can expect to lose when redeploying the application.

Thanks for your reply. Any ways, I have found an easier way to solve this. I would be storing the images in a folder just outside by web app project. and the path for this would be specified in the Context docbase within Tomcat server.xml.
For example, if I am storing the images in D:\images. my server.xml would look like this:
<Context docBase="C:/home/cPanel/public_html/PropertyImages" path="/FinalPropertySolutions/Admin/PropertyImages" />
where the path is the relative position from where I get the images. so wherever I specify this path, the images would actually be taken from D:\images.
This would ideally solve my problem because if I need to further deployments, I need not take care of these images and my deployment would be faster.
Anyways thanks for your suggestion.

Continued from page 1
Other Gallup polls are even more interesting. The number of women gun owners in America has gone up from 13 percent in 2005 to 23 percent today. Also, the number of Democratic households with firearms in their homes skyrocketed from 30 percent in 2009 to 40 percent today.
What has been happening is that the NRA, the NSSF and other gun-rights groups have been busy fighting for Second Amendment rights, advocating for participation in the shooting sports, instructing people how to shoot and store firearms safely, working with police officers and the military and doing a myriad of other things. The NRA has also been lobbying, defending the Second Amendment in courtrooms all over the country and growing its membership. As a result, they've attracted more Americans to the shooting sports, made the shooting sports safer and helped more people learn to shoot and to defend themselves.
You can see this reflected in the number of concealed-carry permits. From the mid-1980s to today America has become a mostly "shall-issue" nation with regards to concealed-carry permits. (Shall-issue laws typically prevent local governments from arbitrarily refusing to give permits.) Today 41 states have right-to-carry laws and 38 states have "shall-issue" laws. In fact, a total of 49 states have laws that, to varying degrees, solidify citizens' right to carry certain concealed firearms in public, either without a permit or after obtaining a permit. Only Illinois is without such a provision.
To visualize what a big change this has been, simply log on to Wikipedia. Now Wikipedia can't always be trusted as a fact-based source, but search under the entry "concealed carry in the U.S." and you'll find a color-coded map of the U.S. changing year-by-year from 1986 to today. Over those years the color changes show the spread of shall-issue laws. Nationally, the NSSF estimates there are 6.8 million concealed-carry holders today. This is up from about one million in the mid-1980s.
All of this pro-gun legislation has not only added to freedom, personal protection and a whole lot of fun at ranges across America, but has also grown the numbers of gun owners and increased the sales of firearms.
Now The History Channel's "Top Shots" and Discovery Channel's "Sons of Guns" are showcasing how much fun the shooting sports can be.
The Boy Scouts of America reported that the number of "shotgun shooting" merit badges increased 27.8 percent from 1999 to 2010. The NSSF's "female-participation" statistics in the shooting sports show that from 2002 to 2010 an estimated 30.2 percent more women are now shooting shotguns. The number of hunters actually increased nationally by 9 percent from 2006 to 2011 according to a preliminary report by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. And active-shooting sports, such as 3-Gun and sporting clays, have taken off.
There are many other categories and statistics showing the tidal shift in gun ownership beneath this current wave of sales, all of which are related to legislative successes that freed up Second Amendment rights, judicial victories and a popular shift in the way American's view guns. With all of this going on it's a shame so many in the media are ignoring or cynically simplifying the movement behind gun sales. It's just more convenient for them to say the surge in gun sales is only about fear of new gun-control legislation.
Though I don't want to discount the fear. After all, when the Supreme Court twice comes within one vote of ruling that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Bill of Rights isn't an individual right, Americans have a right to be concerned. When an incumbent president seeking a second term has already put two people on the nine-member Supreme Court who would vote away this basic human freedom, they have the right to be fearful. And when you realize that, if reelected, that incumbent president would have a good chance of getting a few more Supreme Court picks, and so could reshape the high court for decades, people have a right to be motivated to buy firearms now.

Last year, Oprah's TV network OWN aired "Dark Girls," a documentary that explored the biases against black women of darker shades in their own community. I praised the documentary for bringing a normally inclusive issue to a broader audience. Looking back, I do wish it went more in depth on the different levels of impact colorism has, but there's only so much one documentary can touch on.
Now, OWN will look at the other side of the spectrum with "Light Girls." Featuring interviews with Essence Atkins, Tatyana Ali, Kym Whitley, Raven-Symoné, Amber Rose, Claudia Jordan and others. They'll be discussing their own struggles, as well as the privileges they have – the latter of which I think is important and not acknowledged very much. I'll be interested to see what stories are told and how.
You can look at the TV spot for the documentary, airing Monday, January 19 on OWN, below:

In a news conference declaration reminiscent of Captain Renault's memorable words in "Casablanca" -- "I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" -- President Obama expressed dismay at the IRS' targeting of conservative Tea Party groups. The chief executive described himself as "offended" by such practices, vowed not to "tolerate" them, and said those responsible must be held accountable because "the IRS as an independent agency requires absolute integrity and people have to have confidence that they apply laws in a nonpartisan way."
Keeping the IRS as far away from partisan politics is indeed the crucial consideration, but there are multiple grounds for thinking this president has already thrown away his credibility on the importance of preserving the integrity of the agency. First, this targeting was not merely a misguided effort by low-level bureaucrats in an isolated federal facility. The tax agency's Cincinnati office handles tax-exemption applications from educational nonprofit groups across the country.
Second, the draft report by the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration makes a nullity of the idea that the only targeted groups were those with either "tea party" or "patriot" in their names. In fact, groups got extra IRS attention if they had "take back the country" in their names or were formed to monitor "government spending, government debt or taxes." The IRS even singled out groups devoted to trying "to make America a better place to live" and "criticiz[ing] how the country is being run." Put these criteria together and the result is a net wide enough to capture most groups on the right side of the ideological spectrum.
Even more important is the context in which the targeting took place. Tea Party groups began reporting disturbing requests from the IRS in 2010 during a campaign season that ultimately saw Obama and his Democratic supporters in Congress lose control of the House. The new Republican-controlled House then launched politically damaging investigations into administration actions, including most prominently the Fast and Furious scandal on U.S. government gun-running to Mexico and the political influences behind the Solyndra green energy bankruptcy. Much of the Republican drive and energy was supplied by Tea Party groups, which made them prime targets for the IRS.
Recall, too, the multiple instances during this period in which there appeared to be abuse of IRS access in ways that were politically beneficial to Obama, including, for example, the release of confidential tax information about Koch Industries by a senior White House economics adviser, Austan Goolsbee. A Senate committee investigated the flap but Democrats on the panel have kept the report under lock and key ever since.
Recall as well, as Justin Binik-Thomas explains on page 23 of today's edition, that, while the IRS was targeting Tea Party groups, it was also targeting individuals like him and others. Among them were Foster Friess, a frequent donor to anti-Obama groups, and Frank VanderSloot, a Mitt Romney 2012 campaign donor. Like Charles and David Koch, VanderSloot has also contributed millions to anti-Big Government candidates. Unlike the shenanigans in Rick's cafe, there can be no winking at these sorts of abuses of the IRS by Obama or any other president.

I think when you hear the same message from more than three people, you should take it seriously. And I've heard that several of you want more book suggestions and more opportunities for book discussions.
Finally, I think I've figured out how to do that for you.
Here's what it will look like:
- On the first day of every month I'll host a three-book giveaway. Each month one person will win, and the package will include a children's book, a novel and a non-fiction book. Look for these giveaways on the Simply Faithful Facebook page.
- On April 15, June 15 and Aug. 15 I'll host a book giveaway where six people will win a copy of the same book. Those people will be asked to discuss the book on the Simply Faithful Facebook page so the rest of us can determine if we might like to read it, too. Then, I'll capture that discussion and share it here so it is easy to find for everyone.
- In the fall, I will select a book for us all to read. I'll interview the author and you'll all have a chance to chat live with him/her on social media. This year, if the author is comfortable with it, we may offer live streaming on Facebook so you can see the author, too, while you are asking questions. (Yes, just like the Jetsons!)
- I'm working on creating a monthly newsletter that will include suggestions for living a life of faith, free printables and book suggestions, along with Q&As with talented authors. If you are interested in receiving those newsletters, just slip your email address in the box on the bottom left.
Let's try it. Sound good?
P.S. Feel free to share your book recommendations with me – especially for the fall. Thanks!

I basically have 10 TD tags with the same CSS class and ID (Don't blame me, I didn't code it. It's dynamically generated. ). Is it possible to pick the contents of only 1st and 2nd tag? If so, how?
So let's say I have this code
I want to make it so that JavaScript formats a link on the page to be /new.aspx?element1=red&element2=blue. The link will be in the HREF tag so people won't really notice anything at all.Code:red	 blue	 yellow	 orange
Would this be a big hassle to do? I can't really use any javascirpt libraries so would prefer to do it with vanilla JavaScript.
Any suggestions or advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A disabled former soldier who lives in a tower block has hit out at Orbit South Housing Association after it took five days for a lift to get fixed.
Robert Godfrey, 42, who lives in Canterbury House in Erith and is dependent on a mobility scooter or wheelchair, says he and other residents get treated like "second class citizens" and was "trapped" inside the block because of the broken lift.
The father-of-three said the lifts are broken two to three times a week because of vandalism meaning he cannot leave the second floor flat he lives in with his partner and two young sons.
Mr Godfrey, who was an infantry soldier and served on the frontline in Northern Ireland with the RoyalAnglian Regiment from 1988 to 1997, told News Shopper: "When the lifts are broken I am house-bound.
"I have lived here for seven years and should not be living on the second floor because I am disabled.
"I can only stand for a few seconds and am dependent on wheelchair or scooter.
"This is an ongoing issue and I have had to cancel many hospital appointments when I am physically unable to get out.
"After quite a lot of work we managed to get Orbit to install a ramp at the front of the building so it was easier for me to get out.
Joseph Hughes, 47, who lives on the ninth floor, said they had got in touch with MP David Evennett to help fight the case.
He added: "It's just unbelievable that the lift can be left not working for that long when there are disabled people in the block."
A spokesman for MP David Evernett said: "We are happy to take up cases when residents get in touch.
"We have spoken to Orbit and they say the problem is fixed. If residents want to get in touch we are always happy to help."
James Connolly, head of maintenance services for Orbit South, said: "We are aware of the issue at Canterbury House and apologise to residents for any inconvenience it may have caused.
"One of the two lifts was reported not working on Monday, May 5, parts were required and these were fitted on 8 May.
"The second lift was reported not working on Wednesday, May 7 and our contractors attended the same day, unfortunately they were unable to fix it on that day but returned the following day and repaired both lifts.
"We have received reports that the lifts have been misused and would encourage anyone who is aware of the perpetrators to contact us.
"I'd also encourage residents who have difficulties when the lifts are out of service to contact us directly so that we can attempt to assist them during those periods.
"Our Neighbourhoods Team has been working with residents, partner agencies and the local police to combat issues of anti-social behaviour and vandalism in the area.
"Together, we looked closely at local issues and have made improvements in the community for everyone who lives there."

Indie game Prey for the Gods has been forced to change its name due to a conflict with Bethesda and Arkane Studios sci-fi game Prey. Prey for the Gods developer No Matter Studios explains why it didn't want to "fight" for the right to use the name.
Described as 'Shadow of the Colossus with a female protagonist' by some, Prey for the Gods is aiming to release on PC and consoles later this year.

People with disabilities often have a hard time finding a job. It's mainly because employers either think that disabled individuals are likely to underperform or they don't want to spend money on making workplace adjustments for people with special needs. However, this group of people represents an untapped workforce and their potential productivity can certainly boost the growth of a company.
Pool of talent: Since the disabled make up about 3% of Singapore's population, our city has a fair amount of talent that is underused. Giving a chance to the disabled population would create a wider pool of candidates.
Productive workforce: As with anyone else, people with disabilities can be trained for skill development. With an enhanced set of skills, they bring more productivity and motivation to the organisation. As companies become aware of the capabilities of the disabled, more are hiring these individuals with open arms.
Low employee turnover: Since it is difficult for the disabled to find jobs, they are more likely to stay with a company in the long term. According to one report, employing a disabled person can cost businesses up to 13% less due to decreased absenteeism and increased loyalty.
Government support: Targeted at companies open to hiring disabled people, Singapore's Open Door Programme provides support in hiring, training and integrating these individuals in the workplace. There's also the Special Employment Credit scheme that incentivises companies to hire the disabled, where a credit of up to 16% of a disabled worker's wages is given to the company.
Considering the many benefits, hiring people with disabilities is a win-win situation for both parties. This is something to keep in mind the next time a job opens up at the office.
