The FCC reached a deal with five major wireless companies in the U.S. last year, the deal would make it easier for consumers to unlock their mobile phones.
Sprint seems to be keeping their part of the agreement by making all devices launched after February 11, 2015 unlockable, which means if you purchase a device after February 11, 2015 you will be able to to unlock it and use it on another domestic network such as AT&T or T-Mobile.

Obama's scheduled visit to Ghana provides me with an opportunity to briefly examine the role that domestic U.S. politics plays in American relations with Sub-Saharan Africa. Even in Obama's skillful hands, Africa remains a prop on which conflicting ideas about American identity get played out. The extent to which Obama's African-ness benefits him as president is a work in progress. As president he wants to avoid an African quagmire, where good intentions go awry. Yet as an African American, he wants to remind one of his core group of supporters where his "roots" are. In The Guardian of London, I tease out some of these confusing and contradictory pressures on U.S.-African relations. The article, published through Project Syndicate, is part of a longer study I'm doing on Africa and the West.

Easter Egg iPod headphones holder
I never thought you could use a plastic Easter egg as a headphone holder for an iPod, i must say the idea is really original. I know that by the time you get to this word you're already thinking that this is a boring idea. Boring or not, its still useful, instead of wrapping your headphones around the iPod and damaging them in time, its better to keep them inside an easter egg, and keep them safe.

Today I will show you how to use hypnosis for anxiety relief. It is inspired by an episode I saw on the Dr. Oz show.
Hypnosis is a wonderful self help tool to learn and use to help manage your anxiety level. When you spend a few minutes in a rested, mindful state you feel much better & able to face your day and handle whatever it holds.
Follow along, it only takes a few minutes 🙂 …
The short exercise we will are about to do is self hypnosis for anxiety relief– and this can be used for an overall general feeling of anxiety and unease, or for a very specific anxiety triggering situation you may be in, whatever that may be (such as health anxiety, going to stores, driving, going to work, socializing, etc.)
1. Relax
Find yourself in a comfortable, relaxed position. This may be sitting in a chair, or lying down on your bed. Close your eyes.
2. Focus on your breathing for a minute or two.
Take slow, relaxing breaths- in through the nose, and out through the mouth. See this post if you need further instruction on breathing correctly.
3. Assure yourself.
Say to yourself- I am in a relaxed state. If at any time I need to come into the present moment, I can just open my eyes.
4. Picture yourself
Picture yourself in a situation that makes you anxious. Go into as much detail as possible in your mind's eye.
(I am using a real life example from last week) Here I am at work. There is not much going on- so I don't have any specific tasks to do. I'm just sitting here feeling weird, and the people around me start having a casual conversation. I start to feel very anxious and tongue tied. 2 of the people who are talking are so called "authority figures" to me (they are doctors). I feel very trapped, very small, and I want to leave the room. I hate how I feel. I am about to have a panic attack…
5. Next, float your healing self into the picture.
Float your healing self – the part of your being that is whole and perfect and Godlike- right into your anxious self. And fix the thought or feeling
I see myself starting to really calm down. I feel myself really calming down. Oh thank God! After all I really want to just be able to join in the conversation. And now I am! Hey, it feels good to sit here and just talk to these other people. I am completely safe. It is not a big deal. I can sit here and join in as I like. I can picture myself going back and forth, smiling and feeling happy inside.
6. Now picture yourself in yet another thought or situation that makes you anxious.
Use as much detail as you can. This time, float your healing self right into that picture to begin with. There is no fear here.
I walk into the Holiday party and it feels so nice to see everyone from work outside of work. I picture a few of my favorite people and go and sit with them. I enjoy myself and stay for as long as I like, eating, drinking, laughing, even dancing. I am really relaxed and happy. It is so nice and cheery and fun! I am so so glad I went!
7. Now picture yourself sitting with someone who you love and who loves you unconditionally.
See your loved one congratulation you on how wonderful you're doing..
The person I picture is my late Grandma, and she is hugging me…
"Jill honey, you are doing so well. I am so proud of you. You are really becoming the person I always knew you were. I love you and always believe in you. I want you to feel relaxed and happy all the time…"
8. Rest for another minute or two.
Rest and just enjoy how nice you feel, and how good it feels to be calm and relaxed. congratulate yourself on mastering your fear.
Once you feel ready, open your eyes…
Ahhh! So nice…. 🙂
Repeat this little exercise often. It will really help you!
Your thoughts truly do create your situation. Using hypnosis is a great way to help change thoughts and feelings and help quell the fires of anxiety.
I you enjoyed this hypnosis for anxiety relief exercise, you will benefit greatly from using self hypnosis downloads for anxiety & panic. These are great to have on hand & they works like a charm. 😉
I wish you peace,
Jill G.
My Recommendation:
Beat Fear and Anxiety Pack– Living with a constant sense of fear and anxiety nagging away at you really takes the joy out of life. Included are 5 carefully selected hypnosis downloads to help you overcome excess fear and anxiety. Click here to learn more.

The Lakeside Hammers took a vital three points against Poole Pirates at rain-soaked Arena Essex last night, despite the meeting being abandoned after 10 heats due to a lack of visibility
Home captain Davey Watt and his visiting counterpart Maciej Janowski decided to call it off and declare a result with the hosts leading 35-26.
Vital win in difficult circumstances
Lakeside Hammers team manager Neil Vatcher said: "It was important to get all three points.
"It's a shame the meeting had a stopped but rider safety is important.
"The riders were complaining about the visibility when following another rider."
Ellis crash nearly called the meet off
The rain came down during heat seven as Adam Ellis found out the hard way. He lost the back end of his bike going into the final corner – causing the heat to be stopped.
There was a delay of 40 minutes before the heat was restarted as the track staff had to sweep the standing water of the track.
Farcical scenes in Essex
And once it did all get underway again the riders began to complain about the visibility due to the high amount of spray being lifted from the bikes.
The hosts had started the strongest by picking up a 5-1 victory with Kim Nilsson taking the victory and Watt finishing second after overtaking Dakota North around the outside of turn two.
Poole quickly hit back with a 4-2 victory in heat two with Kyle Newman taking the heat and Adam Ellis finishing second for the Hammers.
Lakeside class told in the end
Heat three and four was close and the points where shared at 3-3 to leave the score at 13-11 after four heats .
The Purfleet-based squad extended their advantage in heat five when they picked up another 5-1 with Watt taking the win.
Heat six brought more woe for Poole as Bjarne Pedersen had a problem with his chain. It caused the Pirates to lose two points and left the score at 22-14.
Only two riders finished the restarted the heat seven and Kim Nilsson crossed the line first with Benji Compton finishing second for the Pirates.
The Hammers took another 5-1 in heat eight to give themselves a 13 point lead.
There were only two finishers in heat nine, too, as Adam Ellis and Benji Compton fell of their bikes as the track began to show signs of wear and tear.
Tactics tell
Poole used a tactical ride in heat 10 to full effect as Janowski took the full six points, but his teammate Vaclav Milik finished fourth so the south coast side only gained three points.
And that proved the conclusion as the riders were called back to the pits and an announcement was made that the score would be a result.

Alpha Phi is an amazing organization and I am blessed to be a part of it, but I was not always an Alpha Phi. Once upon a time, I was just a student living an average college life. After Bid Day, I became a member of the Greek community, which automatically introduced me to new people and a new culture. I quickly became involved and my personal planner was consumed with solely Greek events. It was then I began to realize I needed to find a better way to balance my Alpha Phi life and other activities.
Ultimately, I needed to balance my non-Greek and Greek relationships. I realized I was caught up in the novelty of joining a sorority and had somewhat neglected my previous friendships. I also began to realize that although Alpha Phi was important to me, I wanted to continue to embrace my life outside of my chapter as well. Making time for my friends outside of Alpha Phi became easier as I learned to better stabilize my social calendar. I involved myself in other organizations and made an effort to sustain my friendships while still maintaining my Alpha Phi relationships.
I also began to find ways to intertwine Alpha Phi with other areas of my life. I began to invite my non-Greek friends to Alpha Phi events to introduce them to my sisters and to expose them to Greek life. My two best friends are non-Greek so it was important to me that they understood my sorority involvement. I have brought my two best friends to Red Dress Gala the past three years. Not only do they get to experience a little part of Alpha Phi; it has now become an event they really look forward to!
Alpha Phi is a huge part of my life, and it is also important to me that I continue growing as an individual outside of our sisterhood as well. I have joined other clubs and organizations to meet new people and connect me to campus. I have also been able to use my connections with other organizations to create joint service opportunities and events for my chapter.
Being in Alpha Phi doesn't mean you have to only participate in Alpha Phi. Branch out to other organizations and sustain all of your various friendships--not just those in Alpha Phi.

Spring Cleaning Burns The Same Calories As Running a Marathon
Who needs the gym when all you have to do is clean your house, I mean really clean your house. A study by PromotionalCodes.org.uk reveals that Spring cleaning (3,655 calories) burns more calories than running a marathon (between 2,500 and 3,500 calories). Here's the break down:

The early bird really does get the worm, and is less susceptible to depression, and malaise.
My friend once told me, "You gotta get up and show up for life." This was the same friend who would show up at my door, completely showered and dressed by 10AM on a Saturday morning when we were teenagers. The same one who believes "working from home," is a recipe for failure. "You gotta at least have an outside location as your office," She'd say.
I remember my dad always reiterating that old saying, "The early bird gets a worm," to me. He would get up every morning at 5AM, run 5 miles, then get ready and leave the house by 6:30 AM to catch the train to be at work in 7:30AM, returning home by 7PM and in bed by 11PM. Diligently for at least 35 years. Both are extremely successful individuals. I had a client once who told me, that as a writer, I should leave the house, go to a coffee shop, for the best, unadulterated writing. I found him to be correct.
I have this theory, that people who stay up late and sleep in late tend to be less productive in their lives and less engaged with the world and then in turn are less likely to be fulfilled. Not to mention, let's just admit it, staying at home in your pajamas doesn't make you feel quite as engaged, now does it.
I mean, it obviously depends on your goals, but studies have show that being productive and engaged leads to feelings of happiness and fulfillment.
I have always desired, strived for and wanted a lifestyle, less driven by the 9 to 5, and more committed to art, culture and entrepreneurship and independence. To that end, I even went through a phase, or perhaps I got waylaid, by this concept, which I now believe is false, that more creative people are night owls and that staying up until 3AM in pursuit of art and creativity and sleeping in until 10 or 11 was a sign of an artist. Yes, an unfulfilled artist perhaps. As a writer I do my best writing after 8 hours of sleep at 8AM. And to be true, too many of these so called artists are not exactly creating art at 1 and 2 in the morning, but are rather forcing themselves awake by virtue of chasing the next video game, the last call at the bar, the late night movie or something that is not sustainable, and not productive in the long term.
I know it is romantic and glamorous, the night life,the night owl, and to be a tortured artist, but to be productive and successful you really do need to get to bed at a decent hour, and get up at by 8. I always have and I always will believe this. And the lifestyle which I desire, to be independent and sort of more in charge of my world is clearly a desire for me to work for myself, and not to be beholden to someone else's schedule. Just because I despise the 9 to 5, doesn't mean I will also need to stay up late and sleep late.
Now, I am not suggesting that we work our fingers to the bone. Nor am I saying that I necessarily agree with the sometimes seemingly excessive hard working standards of our culture all the time. I am also not necesarily a proponent of slaving away for someone else, or brown nosing, I am suggesting however that you get up, get out of bed, get dressed, eat breakfast, etc and Show Up For Life! I am suggesting working smarter, being more focused and being present. I am suggesting being active, and being productive. Seeking joy and doing what you love. It's a little well known fact that getting enough sleep is healthy.
Studies have suggested that getting a good night's rest helps strengthen our immune systems, and decreases the likelihood of physical and mental ailments. Getting to bed by 10PM is strongly suggested and waking 8 hours later, would put us at 6AM, helps us make the most of our health and our days. Let's face it, these are in sync with the circadian rhythms of our bodies, not to mention follow the day cycle of the sun. It's no wonder that places which don't see the sun for 4-6 months out of the year (think Alaska) have higher rates of suicide, and drug use/abuse as with places like Seattle and Ireland, which although see the sun are often dark and gray. There has also been a study to suggest that while we sleep we are developing those very skills we need to survive, in our dreams. If we deprive ourselves of dreams then, we are less likely to succeed in our worlds. When we go to sleep at 2 or 3AM we don't necesarily have as restful as sleep, even if we sleep 8 hours.
The hours before midnight are also key to having restorative sleep for better health, body and mind. Naturopathic doctor, Dr. Patti Kim says, "The hours before midnight are worth two hours of sleep."
The night owl is an excuse I hear all too often. And, I don't see the harm in staying up late once in a while, especially for kids in their early to mid 20's. Burning the midnight oil is common in college and grad school, and many young people need to stay up late in the early days of career development, social life and developing their identity. There is even some evidence that suggests staying up all night, every now and then can cure depression.
I am referring to in general. Those who get to bed late and sleep in late on a regular if not daily basis, who have irregular sleep schedules and who do not get up and seize their day on a regular basis are more susceptible to malaise and mental maladies such as depression, fatigue and physical and mental exhaustion and are less likely to handle stress or to have the chops in place, so to speak, to conquer their world. You've got to get up, get dressed and show up. Every day. It will make you feel better, stronger and more equipped to handle stress. It will make you feel more productive, and chances are you will sleep better. If all these are place, I can almost guarantee you a happier more meaningful existence.

I decided to put together this FAQ page after I received a note from Colin Andrews, who was, in a roundabout way, involved in my first crop circle experience in 1995:
In brief Stace, I think your alignments are very interesting indeed but as is always the case with engineers like myself, we like to see all the parameters present. Drawing a straight line on a 2D flat map isn't the same as a line of alignments which take into account the Earth's curvature. Have you done that? …[I]f you have and see this level of accuracy and alignment then I would suggest you publish and challenge peers to comment.
Colin's question made me realise that while I take FMAs for granted, the idea of a flat-map alignment can be confusing. So in the interest of facilitating understanding, here is a beginning list of common questions with the best answers I can provide, which I hope will clarify what these alignments are and why they are so critically important:
Once a basic understanding of the FMAs is achieved, one can see that the enigmatic Other Intelligence involved with crop circles not only exists, but is contacting us in a way that is evidence of its authenticity.
FLAT-MAP ALIGNMENTS: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Flat-Map Alignment? A Flat-Map Alignment (FMA) is a visual representation of an abstract connection between two or more locations, created by drawing lines between significant points on a flat map (as opposed to a spherical map) in a way that carries information. As such, FMAs are a novel form of communication.
A stand-alone alignment such as the TIP Line has three or more points, whereas a connecting alignment like the Chualar Braille Number Sign runs parallel to and/or intersects established alignments.
Who is communicating through FMAs? FMAs seem to come from a relatively omniscient non-human source – quite possibly the otherworldly intelligence involved with crop circles that so many of us have experienced contact with for decades. I usually call this presence the Other Intelligence.
Do FMAs depict literal alignments between place points? Flat-Map Alignments, by definition, are not representative of lines drawn on a curved surface; therefore, the FMAs and the shapes they create are not to be confused with the same lines and shapes as they would appear plotted on a sphere.
How do FMAs express ideas? The symbolic and abstract geometric configuration resulting from FMAs produces "writing" which appears on the "writing surface" of the flat map. Each place point contributes something unique and essential to the bigger picture, much like each section of an essay ultimately contributes to the expression of an overall thesis. Each grouping of place points in a complex such as the All-in-One Alignments can be deciphered as a phrase or idea informed by each individual point.
I hope to add to and improve this list over time.

Submitted by jefro on
Intel's Open Source Technology Center team in Finland has created a new embedded appliance that brings together several key communications technologies within a single image - an Embedded Connectivity Appliance (ECA). ECA is a proof of concept and is not intended to function as a product itself. Instead, it provides working support for many features in one collection:
- Bluetooth (via bluez 5)
- WiFi (via connman)
- basic NFC provisioning
- BT/WiFi channel bonding
- Intelligent bandwidth detection
- traffic shaping
- a basic HTTP UI
In addition to basic support, several of these features enable "tethering", where the appliance functions as a network acccess point (AP) so that clients can use it to connect to a different networks. For example, in standard WiFi tethering, an AP provides a wireless access to clients and functions as a bridge between these clients and an ethernet connection. For Bluetooth tethering, ECA creates a Personal Area Network (PAN), and Bluetooth clients can connect to it, bridging to a Internet connection. Internet access can be provided by wired ethernet, WiFi, or a cellular connection.
ECA has been tested on the Intel NUC, BeagleBoard, Raspberry Pi, Intel Atom PC, and in virtual machines using VirtualBox. Hardware support varies, of course, but issues found have usually been related to firmware. A list of supported hardware and much more information is available at http://metaeca.wordpress.com.

It's reported Novara star Marco Rigoni will undergo his medical and sign for Chievo on Monday.
The creative midfielder was one of the surprise packages in Serie A last season and many called for his inclusion in the Euro 2012 squad.
He had been close to joining Sampdoria, but Sky Sport Italia claim a deal has now been struck with Chievo.
Rigoni is set to undergo his medical and put pen to paper on a three-year contract tomorrow.
The 32-year-old was a Juventus youth product, but only ever managed one appearance for the senior squad.
He also played for Ravenna, Cittadella, Triestina, Ternana and Pescara before joining Novara in 2009.
Rigoni was a key figure in Novara's back-to-back promotions from Serie C1 into Serie A.

Austin Again, With No Regrets
February 3, 2008
Yes, it's been quite some time since I last posted any news so I will try to give a brief synopsis here as opposed to a long story. Gave up on Phoenix, not much going on there as thought, moved back to Austin just the other day and so far very happy about it. Prices here for apartments have gone up a bit but not nearly as much as most cities have gone up in the last 5 years. Have you looked for an apartment in Los Angeles or San Diego lately? There of course are still a high number of cats in Austin hoping to bring back the '70s. Learn to move forward people and you will be happier.
Going to just hang out for a few days and see what musicians in town are up to and start some good times.

AIKEN - Edgefield County voters will head back to the polls Nov. 16 to determine who will hold the District 3 and District 6 seats on the school board.
Two of the four school board races in Edgefield County ended in a runoff Tuesday night because the candidates did not win enough votes to claim a 50 percent-plus-one-vote majority.
As a result, James Bibbs Sr. will face J. Raymond Cook in the runoff race for the District 3 seat. They are vying for the seat left open by retiring school board member George Smith, who served on the board for 15 years.
Incumbent Sallie Cooks will face challenger Kenneth R. Collier for the District 6 seat. The two candidates, who have four years of school board experience apiece, faced each other in the 2000 race for the District 6 seat.
In Edgefield County, candidates must receive 50 percent of the votes plus one to win. Although Mr. Bibbs, a newcomer to the school board race, got the most votes in the District 3 race, it was only 48.76 percent - just short of enough to capture the vote.
"I had an idea that it was going to be hard to beat both of those guys. We campaigned hard up front," Mr. Bibbs said. "In my opinion, the people have already spoken and I think they have spoken loud and clear. I don't think a runoff should apply, but it is the law."
Mr. Cook, who previously had served on the Edgefield County school board for 15 years, said he didn't think the race would end up in a runoff but plans to continue campaigning during the next 12 days.
Edgefield County voter registration Director Tricia Gordon sorted through a handful of provisional ballots Thursday to see whether they would make a difference in the runoff races. She said the provisional ballots had to be discarded and the total number of votes did not change from Tuesday night.
The school board contest was driven by voters wanting more representation for the booming Merriwether area and controversy over last year's school board vote down racial lines to change the Strom Thurmond High School mascot from a Southern planter to a blue tick hound.
Ms. Gordon said that more candidates ran in the school board race than ever before - 11 people vied for four seats. Both of the runoffs are in races that had more than two candidates running - three people ran for the District 3 seat, and four people battled for the District 6 seat.
On Tuesday night, board Chairman Bradley Covar beat challenger Regenia Leonard for the District 4 seat, and challenger Scott S. Chitty defeated incumbent Leslie Culpepper for the District 7 seat.
The newly elected and re-elected board members will be sworn in at the Dec. 14 Edgefield County school board meeting, said Lunette Patten, the administrative assistant for the Edgefield County School District.

District 3
PRECINCTS VOTING: Trenton 006, Merriwether 007, Kendall 003
WHEN TO VOTE: The precincts will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16
James Bibbs Sr. : 531 votes, or 48.76 percent
J. Raymond Cook: 350 votes, or 32.14 percent
District 6
Sallie Cooks (Incumbent): 384 votes, or 36.57 percent
Kenneth R. Collier: 308 votes, or 29.33 percent

DOG fouling and "out of control" canines are being tackled by police following residents' complaints.
The problems were identified by the community as "policing priorities" for local officers in the Cammo area to combat.
Residents complained about dogs being allowed out without their owners in the area.
Another priority identified for the Almond ward was the issue of "inconsiderate parking" in South Queensferry, especially on Sundays.

Games that should be: Fatal Frame for Wii U
I'm pretty sure as soon as we all first laid our eyes on the Wii U GamePad, the idea of a Fatal Frame game or the next instalment of Pokémon Snap that was floating around in our imaginations… or both. Either way, Fatal Frame for Wii U HAS to happen. That game along with the GamePad are such a perfect match made only possible by ghosts… most likely.
Let's all close our eyes (figuratively, you still need your eyes open to read this!) and imagine for a moment what would make a Fatal Frame game absolutely mind-blowing on Wii U. Right off the mark, we're all thinking the same obvious thing, the Wii U GamePad becomes our very own real world representation of the Camera Obscura and we'll be using it as such throughout the game. Now it's a pretty simple concept to understand, the GamePad has a screen, you look at it as if it were your viewfinder and press a trigger button to snap shots of ghosts here and there… but that's too simple and too boring, more needs to be done to shake things up.
While the Fatal Frame games usually take a third person perspective throughout the game, only moving to the first person viewfinder mode when you're ready to take pictures with the Camera Obscura, why not have the entire game set from a first person viewpoint through that viewfinder. To add to that, why not encourage the player to stand up and use the GamePad's nine-axis motion controls to literally look around as if you're in that virtual 3D space yourself? I'm sure they can come up with some kind of plot point to explain why you'd need to do that, the female protagonist in our game is a very shy girl, only able to look at the world through the viewfinder, something along those lines.
Now, instead of removing the TV entirely from the equation, why not delegate the images on the TV to handle a different task… lighting and ambience. Imagine, playing in a dark room at night with nothing but the glow of the video coming from the Wii U GamePad and the ambient light effects coming from the TV as you take a picture and there's a snap of light… or perhaps lightning striking in the distance.
Imagine now, you have a 5.1 surround system and you hear that crack of thunder relative to the position you're facing at the time it happened… You, alone, in a dark room at night with that immersive surround sound all around you, the ambient effects the TV is producing and your focused attention on the viewfinder directly in front of you on the Wii U GamePad, this would make one hell of a game that really sucks you into its world in every way possible with what Wii U can offer you.
It has to be done, it would be a tragedy for everyone if it's not done and not pushed out to every corner of this planet so that everyone has a chance to experience it.

Before—The Window here is intact and bath products are exposed on open shelving.
After—The Window having been removed due to construction next door, is remedied by introducing more of same stone tiles for the alcove where the window once existed. This created a seamless transition and more Spa-like appearance. A teak door was also designed to conceal the bath products and compliment the teak shower floor.
Before— The Window here is intact, offering Eastern views, sunrises, natural light and fresh air.
After—With the Window now removed due to construction next door, a large Autumn Landscape Photo with depth has been hung in its place as a remedy. This image offers both a sense of expansion and connection with Mother Nature. Additional overhead lighting was also introduced with dimmer capability.
Before—Here the kitchen is totally open to both the living room and dining room with little attention to beauty.
After—The Shoji Screen offers a graceful separation, introducing more serenity and elegance. Now, the kitchen counter and some appliances are no longer in view. Certainly, if high end appliances and attention to detail are in place, you may choose to leave every thing open.
Before—Here you see a bedroom with open bookshelves facing the bed. Ideally a bedroom's focus is about sleep, serenity and romance. In cities where space is at a premium and rooms multipurpose, creativity is invaluable. Preferably books should be less abundant in a bedroom and topics more relaxing or uplifting rather than work-driven or angst producing!
After—For an easy cost effective remedy a curtain was created, concealing the books, softening the landscape, but still allowing access. This adjustment is particularly beneficial at night as it supports more relaxation, romance, and deeper sleep. The fuchsia bed cover introduces more warmth and the fire element.
Before—Here you see a small T.V. exposed at all times.
After—As an enhancement, a second partition was created to sit directly in front of the original, able to slide left or right. Now the T.V. Is concealed when not in use and a beautiful painting with depth is in view, creating a sense of expansion, adding more beauty and interest to the room. Also, Privacy can be provided to occasional guests, as a home office located behind the partition offers a Murphy Bed.
Before—The Partition here is moved to the left, revealing the larger T.V.
After—The Partition, now closed, conceals the T.V. and offers a lovely painting as the focal point, conducive to entertaining or providing a more elegant presence.
Before—Here the Window is intact, offering Eastern views, natural light, fresh air and cross ventilation.
After—Once the Window was removed, due to construction next door, a wood wall was created to connect with the existing wood wall to its right, offering a seamless, elegant transition. To balance this new design element the closets, originally a soft grey, were faux painted a rich metallic grey. Additional lighting was introduced to make up for the loss of natural light and a large Autumn landscape photo was placed against the back wall to provide color, depth and more life.
Before—In Feng Shui, the Entry is known as "The Mouth of Chi", where the energy enters, and is considered very important in a home or business. Here is where a mood is created and "intention" placed. On entry, the kitchen in view, is unadorned with basic appliances. Neither location nor it's dull appearance is auspicious!
After—Despite a small budget and one day to Stage, a colorful collection of fruit, olive oils and a little greenery in a fiery vase were dispayed to create a sense of welcoming and life. It's Interesting to note, that with this group of products all five elements were introduced with color alone. This will also allow potential buyers to visualize themselves living and preparing food in this apartment.
Before—Here the Dining Room appears dull. The heavy window treatment diminishes light and looks dated. The Mirror, although attractive, is poorly placed as it reflects primarily, a blank wall and the kitchen. Ideally, mirrors are best utilized when reflecting views, art or an object of beauty.
After—With the heavy window treatment now removed, more natural light is provided, creating a more open and contemporary feel. The mirror has been relocated to the living room and replaced with a painting introducing some missing elements, particularly fire, which was sorely missing. The bowl of yellow pears on the table further brightens the room and adds more life!
Before—The Hutch and two Botanical prints are a bit dull and small in scale in relationship to the size of the room. The dominant elements here are Earth and Wood but thankfully there is a white ceiling and trim, the Metal element, the reductive element for Wood. Note the heavy window treatment to the right.
After—As you can see, the large Mirror, relocated here with the Turquoise Vase, creates a more dramatic presence in the room.. The mirror now reflects more light, terrace and city views rather than a blank wall and the kitchen. The pop of color in the vase with tiny white blossoms introduces more life and creates a connection with Mother Earth, so critical for city dwellers. Note the difference now that the heavy window treatment has been removed, offering more natural light and a more contemporary look.
Before—The Living Room looks dull, heavy, earth and wood dominant. There are water elements expressed in the glass side and coffee tables. The Metal element is introduced with the light fixtures, table frames and white ceiling, but there is no fire represented here. The Botanical Prints are also too small in scale for the size of the room and furniture.
After—Here the Living Room offers more Balance by introducing the Fire Element with the furniture, accessories and imagery. The art prints now are proportionate to both the furniture as well as the scale of the room. The tree adds life in the corner and according to the Western approach to the Bagua is well placed in the Wealth area of the living room.

Making brownies has been on my mind for some time, i finally settled for spicy brownies, with sweet and spicy pomegranate syrup!
It took me a LONG time to decide on a mix of ingredients/flavours; I've had recipe notes lying around on my desktop for ages now, with ingredients added, or scratched off.
I would still be in brownie rut, if it hadn't been for Devine ; his birthday was coming up, when I asked him what he wanted as a dessert he said, 'BROWNIES!'
The recipe was adapted from Joanne Gallagher's fantastic blog, Inspired taste. I'm not good enough to freestyle brownies, using her recipe as a base - for quantities especially - helped me out a lot. At least, i can get a good idea of how many wet, fat and sweet elements I need.
Spent time thinking about what i wanted it to look like, and how i wanted to present it. I didn't a chocolate topping - i've never been a fan of double-chocolate anything. I, at least, knew i wanted a fruit topping.
I wanted to make the brownies in a round cake pan, and decorate it with powdered sugar patterns, using stencils. Then, I stumbled upon a recipe online for a fish-based dish (they used a pomegranate syrup as garnish.) I'd never made syrup before, but i knew that's what i wanted as a coulis over my brownies.
I scrapped the round cake pan idea, as well as the powdered sugar. Devine's birthday brownies were going to be topped with fresh pomegranate seeds, and a pomegranate syrup coulis!
Again, something was missing...
I had some really good, spicy chocolate fleur de sel cookies at my old studio. The idea of putting chili peppers in cookies (or cake) had never ocurred to me before. I thought it was brilliant - and the chocolate and chili mix is just insane (in a good way.) Lindt makes dark chocolate with chili peppers, I guess it was inspired by those 2 things.
I put a LOT of chili pepper flakes in these, i have a higher tolerance to it but if you don't feel free to use less. The syrup has a fair amount in it too, if you're worried about the level of spicy, you can actually not put it in the brownie batter. But, be sure to infuse it in the pomegranate syrup, won't be the same without it.
These were a big success, Devine loved them! I cut them into 24 small squares, but feel free to make larger blocks. Smaller portions means you can have some longer, i like that idea.
In this recipe I substituted half of the fat for pureed pumpkin. In brownies you can only substitute half the amount, before it effects the texture. Hope you like it!

For related articles and more information, please visit OCA's Genetic Engineering page and our Colorado News page.
Silk Soymilk and some of its other beverages recently completed the verification process of the Non-GMO Project.
Why the careful wording? Given the ubiquity of genetically modified organisms in some U.S. commodity crops -- 93 percent of soybeans grown in the United State are genetically modified according to Craig Shiesley of Silk -- no product is able to call itself completely free of GMOs. However, Silk and some other companies, such as Whole Foods with its 365 products, have sought to do is to get as close as possible, using a certification process from the non-profit Non-GMO Project, which holds products to a standard of 99.1 percent GMO free.
Shiesley, general manager of the Silk business, says the verification process for the company's soymilk, coconut milk and almond milk took 12 to 14 months, a surprise for the company, which had always sourced non-GMO ingredients.
"The reason (the verification process) elevates this to another level if that it goes from verifying the ingredient to verifying the entire process," Shiesley says. "For example, (it verifies) that there's no cross contamination in the dehullers."
GMO in the food supply
Currently labeling for GMOs is not required in the United States, as it is in European Union countries and Japan. The percentage of U.S. processed foods that include at least one genetically engineered food is estimated at about 60 to 70 percent, according to a 2010 fact sheet from Colorado State University. Even foods labeled as natural, a term that has no legal meaning, may contain genetically engineered crops; however, USDA certified organic foods forbid GMOs.

Kai Woei Lim and Elena Low were presented the grand prize for the 3-D printed international fashion competition organized by NTU ( Nanyang Technological University), Singapore. The competition revolved around the themes of sustainability and attributes of water.
The piece would also serve as a kind of innovative discourse that emphasized the use of 3-d printing to the fashion industry. XYZ Workshop's design revolved around the chemical components of water molecules and the visual representation of electrolysis; a process in which water is used to create hydrogen.
The design also incorporates the concept of water molecules through intriguing spherical series that introduce open and enclosed areas. The pattern illustrates a rippled effect where a unique comparison can be made between dense and clear areas. The shape of the design also resembles the traditional Chinese dress " Cheongsam", combining interesting attributes form previous customs with technological applications.
The initial design began with utilizing Kinect Senors attach to a computer which generated a 3-d cloud that was then turned into a mesh which the geometric forms were based off of. After that a 3-d modeling software Rhino was used to map out the variety of patterns on the generic model, similar to the process of tailoring.
The final product took about 170 hrs to complete and composed of 26 different portions. Kai Woei Lim and Elena Low wanted to portray the beneficial uses of 3-d printing in challenging our basic design principles and the push beyond our accustomed limits in hopes to achieve an outstanding outcome.

Here is a small FanArt i did a few weeks ago ^^
I'm pretty new to drawing, so tips and advices are really welcome, i really want to improve ^^

Hrmmm... probably using unlined paper (or not engineering paper, at any rate -) would help a bit, as far as scanning goes.
And secondly, think about how a person's body is truly shaped- and what makes it shaped that way. (Bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, skin, fat, different organs). For example, a person's arm isn't just two parallel lines; they tend to be almost "squashed" at the elbows, and then the biceps and triceps, then the muscles in the forearm bulge slightly just below the elbow...
Ah, well. I'm the pot calling the kettle black. No one's even bothered to comment on mine. (*sighs*)
I suppose I'm what one would call "Hopeless"
Good luck!

Loyola student band competes for spot at Hard Rock international music festival in London
April 13, 2012
Liquid Peace Revolution, a rock band of three Loyola University New Orleans' freshmen and two former students, recently won the local round of Hard Rock Rising, an international battle of the bands at the Hard Rock Café New Orleans in March. The quintet must now compete for a spot on the bill at the 2012 Hard Rock Calling music festival in London's Hyde Park, featuring headlining performances by legendary musicians Soundgarden, Bruce Springsteen and Paul Simon.
More than 12,000 bands entered worldwide, but now Liquid Peace Revolution, the only band from Louisiana competing, will be pitted against 85 other Hard Rock Café local winners from across the globe. Those winners will be narrowed down to the top 10 bands worldwide via fan voting on Hard Rock Facebook pages, which began earlier this week and will close on Tuesday, April 24. Once the top 10 are chosen, a panel of celebrity judges and music industry professionals, including Steven Van Zandt of the E Street Band, John Gourley of Portugal. The Man and Fyfe Dangerfield of Guillemots, will crown the winner.
Founded in 2003 by guitarist Kyle Deshowitz and bassist Evan Hall, Liquid Peace Revolution has now evolved into a quintet, thanks to the addition of William A. Alber (lead vocals), Matthew J. Keegan (drums/percussion) and Jason M. Percle (keyboards). The group released its first CD, "Flower Power Evolution," in July 2011 and is currently working on a second album.
Hard Rock Calling, now in its seventh year, has established itself as one of the United Kingdom's premiere outdoor music events. The 2012 festival will take place July 13 – 15 in London's Hyde Park. Produced by Live Nation and presented by Hard Rock International, the festival is a unique and historic musical event attracting thousands of music lovers from around the world due to its consistent pool of renowned bands, on-site Hard Rock Café and a variety of additional attractions.
For more information about Liquid Peace Revolution, visit www.theliquidpeacerevolution.com or contact Kevin J. Quern at firstname.lastname@example.com. To vote for Liquid Peace Revolution to win a chance to perform at the Hard Rock Calling 2012 music festival, visit the band's Facebook page.

How do we see our racial past and our future?
We need to remember whats happened. If we dont remember whats happened before, we cannot understand whats going on now. (John Hope Franklin)
We shouldnt dwell on the past, but we also shouldnt forget about it. We have to strike a balance and figure out how to manage it. (Cheikh)
Racism is like from generations way back and now doesnt really affect us. Its just the generations before just keep passing it on and we dont even know. Sometimes we even forget why we are mad at other people (Wendell)
Questions for Reflection
What can I do to increase
understanding and cooperative action across racial lines?
We need to talk about our feelings; we need to express them in a positive way. (Elli)
We have to be tolerant enough to be willing to move in the direction of, of first freeing ourselves of any prejudices, and misconceptions, and then of freeing others, giving others an opportunity to free themselves. (John Hope Franklin)
Race is important. Race is something that matters. We mustnt pretend that you are not white. We ought to celebrate that fact that you are white, that you are Chinese, that you are whatever. God did not make a mistake in creating you who you are. (Archbishop Desmond Tutu)

Respecting The Lingerie
March 9th, 2012 5 comments
I showed up at his door drunk, in heels, a trench coat, and underneath, a brand new piece of lingerie I bought. And can you believe this fool wanted to just talk? — true story from a female friend.
Dude, she had on some lingerie, but I told her she didn't need all that, just get naked. — true story from another friend
I bought a new lingerie set, and you had the nerve to tell me you were too tired. — true story that happened to me in college
Fellas, enough is enough. The women are out there talking bad about us, putting less effort than ever in their nightwear and it's our fault. We have no one else to blame but ourselves, because we have found some way to disrespect the lingerie.

Indiana Ghost Stories (con't.)
In our last installment, we discussed Hoosier author Karl C. B. Muilliwey's book, Haunting at Sycamore Lake. Muilliwey has had numerous encounters with the paranormal, including one possibly out-of-the-body experience (OBE), which could have been clairvoyance, or, arguably, hallucination, although this latter explanation would, in most instances, require a pathological or chemical cause, and none was present in this case. Muilliwey recounts the episode (shown in blue below):
Although I have experienced unexplained paranormal phenomena, I am not psychically inclined. On one occasion, however, I recall awakening from sleep to a level just below complete consciousness. I was unable to open my eyelids, which were closed throughout the experience. Nevertheless, I could see my bedroom clearly. While continuing to be aware that my eyelids were closed, this strange ability to see panned from left to right, observing in complete detail the arrangement of items on the dresser and night stand. I noticed one of my children's photographs on the dresser had been partially knocked over, probably by one of our house cats; I was certain that the frame was not in this condition when I went to bed, as I placed my pocket contents immediately adjacent to the picture. The room was bathed in a bluish-white/grey light, which evenly illuminated the entire room. No lights were on in the bedroom, as I had extinguished them upon retiring; the moon was covered by clouds, so little illumination entered the window when I lay down. It was quite dark in the room when I fell asleep, and I was positive that it was still as dark. But this eerie bluish illumination lit the room brightly enough to have read a printed page.
My peculiar ability to see clearly with my eyes tightly shut continued. As my perception of the room slowly moved, I saw, plainly and vividly, a figure standing in the bedroom doorway. It appeared to be male and as solid as any person in the flesh. He was wearing clothing typical of Hoosier pioneers from the middle 1850s. The type and length of coat, coupled with the buttoning on both coat and shirt, and the style of pants and boots he wore were typical of this time period. (Indiana history is something of a hobby of mine.) He had a satchel that rested at his left hip with the strap extending over his right shoulder. He wore a hat that looked similar to those I had seen in historical photographs from around the Civil War. I was able to note all this in a twinkling.
Then, a powerful wave of fear flooded through me--there was, after all, an unidentified man standing in my bedroom door in the middle of the night--but I felt a weird paralysis over my entire body. With a supreme exertion, my body began thrashing upon the bed, with my legs kicking wildly toward the doorway figure. (I must add that the man stood still and made no menacing gestures or movements. In fact, his facial expression seemed one of curiosity or possibly mild amusement.)
I was now fully awake. The room was almost completely dark, but a small nightlight in the hallway outside the bedroom offered meager illumination. The man in the doorway was gone. Everything appeared as it normally would. Beside me my wife lay asleep and undisturbed by my thrashing about. (My wife could sleep through a tornado lifting the house as it did in the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz). I checked the entire house, but there was nobody present apart from my family.
The easiest explanation, of course, is that I dreamed the entire sequence; however, one knows the difference between dreaming and waking consciousness, and my thought processes during this experience were clearly the same as when I am awake. I was cognizant that my eyelids were shut and that I could not open them, but I could still perceive everything around me. Hallucination is possible but unlikely--I have never had an hallucination and have never used illicit drugs--and I was taking no medications at the time of the incident.
So what happened? Many of the paranormal books I have read afford various conceivable explanations, but I have reached no firm conclusions. I know that something extraordinary occurred, but, beyond that, I am open to possible interpretations.
Thanks to Karl Muilliwey for permitting us to reprint his account of this unusual, "ghostly" encounter. As with any good ghost story, we observe that there is an ancient cemetery (dating from the 1840s) a few hundred feet from Muilliwey's home, and several homesteads existed during the time in the general vicinity. It may be worth noting that the burial plots have been disturbed over the years as a result of road and building construction. (Muilliwey considers these points irrelevant to his experience. So do we, but we think it makes a better ghostly tale by mentioning them.)

Mabel Leigh Hunt (Mooresville Moments Series)
Hunt's best known novel, Lucinda: a Little Girl of 1860 (1934), was partially based upon her mother's experiences growing up among Quaker families. The characters from the book were derived from actual people Hunt and her family knew in Mooresville, Plainfield, and the surrounding countryside of Hendricks and Morgan Counties. Mooresville Public Library has, in its Indiana Room vertical files, a handwritten note from the author indicating the real people from which her novel's characters were drawn.
Our reprint (click here) from Mooresville Moments (1999), written by town historian and retired MPL Indiana Room Librarian Wanda Potts, includes two installments about Mabel Leigh Hunt.

The fncreate_fs command creates file contexts for organizations and sites. It may also be used to override the default file contexts for users and hosts that are created by the fncreate command.
There are two methods of using the fncreate_fs command.
Input file. File context bindings may be provided by an input file (See "Creating File Contexts With an Input File")
Command line. File context bindings may be created from the command line (See "Creating File Contexts With Command-line Input").
The two methods of fncreate_fs have the following syntax:
fncreate_fs [-v] [-r] -f file composite_name fncreate_fs [-v] [-r] composite_name [options] [location...]
The composite name of the file context.
-f file
Use an input file named file.
Mount options
Mount location.
Sets verbose output, displaying information about the contexts being created and modified.
Replaces the bindings in the context named by composite_name --and all of its subcontexts--with only those specified in the input. This is equivalent to destroying the context (and, recursively, its subcontexts), and then running fncreate_fs without this option. The -r option should be used with care.
The fncreate_fs command manipulates FNS contexts and bindings of the onc_fn_fs reference type. It uses an address of type onc_fn_fs_mount to represent each remote mount point. The data associated with an address of this type are the corresponding mount options and locations in a single, XDR-encoded string.
The input file supplies the names and values to be bound in the context of composite_name. Its format is based upon and similar, but not identical, to the format of indirect automount maps. The input file contains one or more entries with the form:
name [options] [location...]
name is the reference name. The name field may be a simple atomic name or a slash-separated hierarchical name. It may also be "." (dot), in which case the reference is bound directly to composite_name.
options are mount options, if any. The options field begins with a hyphen ("-"). This is followed by a comma-separated list (with no spaces) of the mount options to use when mounting the directory. These options also apply to any subcontexts of composite_name/name that do not specify mount options of their own.
location is the mount location. The location field specifies the host or hosts that serve the files for composite_name/name. In a simple NFS mount, location takes the form:
Where host is the name of the server from which to mount the file system and path is the path name of the directory to mount.
For each entry a reference to the mount locations and the corresponding mount options is bound to the name composite_name/name.
If options and location are both omitted, then no reference is bound to composite_name/name. Any existing reference is unbound.
For example, suppose you want kuanda's file system to be an NFS mount of the directory /export/home/kuanda from host altair as shown in Figure 22-4. The command would be run as follows:
% fncreate_fs -f infile user/kuanda/fs
. altair:/export/home/kuanda
To set up a more complex file system distributed over more than one server as shown in Figure 22-5, run the command
% fncreate_fs -f infile org/sales/fs
with infile containing
tools/db altair:/export/db project altair:/export/proj project/lib altair:/export/lib project/src deneb:/export/src
To change the NFS mounts for project and its subcontexts src and lib to be read-only, you can change infile as follows:
tools/db svr1:/export/db project -ro svr1:/export/projproject/lib altair:/export/lib project/src svr2:/export/src
The -ro is unnecessary in the third and fourth lines because src and lib are subcontexts of project, they will inherit the -ro mount option from above.
The following input file would make all of the mounts read-only except for org/sales/fs/project/src.
. -ro tools/db svr1:/export/db project svr1:/export/proj project/lib altair:/export/lib project/src -rw svr2:/export/src
The fncreate_fs command also allows the binding description to be provided on the command line:
fncreate_fs composite_name [mmount_options] [mount_location ...]
This is equivalent to using the input file form of the command but entering the individual bindings from your keyboard. The previous example in which kuanda's file system was set could be set from the command line as follows:
% fncreate_fs user/kuanda/fs altair:/export/home/kuanda
Similarly, the hierarchy illustrated in Figure 22-5 could have been set up by running the sequence of commands:
% fncreate_fs org/sales/fs/tools/db altair:/export/db % fncreate_fs org/sales/fs/project altair:/export/proj % fncreate_fs org/sales/fs/project/lib altair:/export/lib % fncreate_fs org/sales/fs/project/src deneb:/export/src
To make all three of the mounts read-only, you would run this command:
% fncreate_fs org/sales/fs -ro

The last attack was by a man who had been in the Afghan Local Police for five days. How likely is it that he became so aggrieved in that short period of time that he started shooting as soon as he received his weapon? NATO leaders are trying to fool us, or themselves, into not seeing what a disaster the Afghan mission has become.
"NATO: Most attacks on coalition troops driven by personal grievances," by Masoud Popalzai and Chelsea J. Carter for CNN, August 18 (thanks to David):
(CNN) — NATO says the majority of attacks by Afghan security forces against coalition troops are driven primarily by personal grievances rather than an infiltration by insurgents.
"Some 10% we know are related to the insurgency," Brig. Gen. Gunter Katz, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, said late Friday.
The news follows word that U.S. Marine Gen. John Allen, commander of NATO troops in Afghanistan, ordered all troops in the country to carry loaded weapons around the clock following a spate of attacks by people wearing Afghan security uniforms, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the order told CNN.
Allen's order, made in recent days, was divulged amid two more so-called green-on-blue or insider attacks Friday.
There have been a record 31 such attacks this year that have resulted in the deaths of 39 NATO service members, according to a report Friday on NATO's official online video channel.
Coalition steps up fight against Afghan 'green-on-blue' attacks
The British Ministry of Defence, meanwhile, said Saturday that a British soldier was killed "by enemy action" Friday while on sentry duty in Helmand province in the south.
The death was not related to a green-on-blue attack, said Maj. Martyn Crighton, an ISAF spokesman. He did not release details about the attack or the nationality of the service member killed.
Troops in Afghan combat situations have always been armed, while only security forces have been regularly armed at the headquarters bases.
Under Allen's order, troops regardless of their tasks will now carry loaded weapons, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity….
That they weren't doing so already is an immense scandal.
