Try to See it My Way
Jacob visits Bella to confront her about her impending immorality. Will things go as planned? Edited version
1. Try to see it my way
Rating 0/5 Word Count 1239 Review this Chapter
Laying on my bed, motionless, I was pondering my hectic life. Edward, dearest Edward, was torturing himself. I knew, no matter how hard he tried to hide it from me. Why couldn't he just see the obvious solution to everything? Just one bite, it would take less then a few seconds to start the transformation. Was it so hard for Edward to just see my way? Speaking of which…
"Bella!" Edward's booming, velvety voice bounced off the walls. I raced downstairs, practically tripping over my feet in the process. But I made it to the living room in one piece. I jumped into his arms, relishing the thought that he was actually standing right in front of me. I didn't even want to think about the time we spent away from each other. I breathed his scent in, wondering for the thousandth time how a god like him could love a puny human like me. "Hello, love," he said quietly. My heart bruised my rib cage as Edward moved closer to seal the gap between us. Just as Edward was about to brush his lips ever so softly against mine, he pulled away muttering under his breath. It was too low for me too hear, but I could distinguish the word 'filthy mutt'. I was surprised when I heard the door bell ring. I had forgotten how quiet werewolves could be. I ran to answer the door before Edward could hold me back.
"Jacob!" I yelled excitedly as I opened the door. But my smile disappeared when I saw the look on his face. It was hard and expressionless as if it was carved out of stone. I then realized that his visit was not for pleasure. "What do you want, Jacob?" I asked a little too harshly. I saw the sides of his mouth twitch as he tried to control himself. His bad mood seemed to descend on everyone else in the house. Jacob was like that. He could easily light up a room with his light humor, which I wasn't seeing that often anymore. But he could just as easily cast a dark shadow on everyone's thoughts.
"I came to discuss the treaty," Jacob said finally. My frown deepened. It seemed like every thing revolved around the treaty. Why couldn't we talk friend on friend for once?
"Again?" Edward added insolently.
"Edward!" I yelled back at him. He just gave me a face that said 'It's true'.
"We already know the terms of the treaty," Edward said, ignoring my comment. Jacob just narrowed his eyes at me.
"Can we talk alone?" Jacob asked me, his tone almost sounding like a plead. His eyes gave away what his face didn't. They were holding a sadness that broke my heart even after he ignored me for the past few weeks despite my attempts to talk to him.
"Yes," I said before Edward could respond for me. I wasn't in any danger with Jake. I just needed to talk to him one on one.
"Bella," Edward said warningly. I looked at him, asking him to understand, but all I saw was resentment for his one true enemy. I sighed and walked out the door, following Jake as he led the way to the edge of the forest surrounding the house. I knew Edward would be angry later, but I needed to talk to Jacob. What if this was our last time seeing each other as friends. But the look on Jacob's face was bitter and resentful. It wasn't the face of the Jacob I knew and loved, it was Sam's Jacob's face.
"What do you want, Jacob?" I said more cross then I had a right to be. The look on his face just fired me up, though. He had no right to be angry. No, scratch that, he had every right to be angry. But the anger just bubbled up in the when I saw how much he had changed.
"I-I just," Jacob started. He took a deep breath before continuing. "I just don't see why you want to become a bloodsucker." He looked at me then, his face pained.
"What do you mean?" I asked deciding to play dumb.
"Do you have any idea how much it will hurt Charlie, your mother, your friends…and me?" he asked, his whole body shaking. "Do you love him so much that you can abandon everyone who loves you?"
"Jacob…" I said, not sure of how I was going to respond. "I don't want to…abandon anyone. But it's the only way. Maybe we can still be friends-"
"You know that can't happen Bella," he snapped. I looked away, tears filling my eyes. "Once you become a vampire, you're a vampire. And that's it. We're enemies." I saw the regret in his eyes, like that was the last thing he wanted to say. "I'm sorry, Bella. But you chose him over me."
"I'm sorry," he said softly and started to walk away into the forest. I suddenly realized that I would never see him again. Until I was a vampire that is. No. This couldn't be our last time together as friends. I wouldn't be able to handle that.
"Jake, stop!" I yelled out, running to catch up to him. He turned around and I ran right strait into him. He picked me up from the place that I fell. I could feel a bruise forming on my arm, but I couldn't care less. "Please just try to see it my way!" It looked like he was going to say something, but I cut him off. "Do you remember those months when Edward was away? Do you? I was a mess! Even you couldn't heal me all the way! You know that! Do you want me to go on living like that for the rest of my life? Do you really want that for me?" I knew that my face was streaming with tears.
"No…but…the thought of him biting you and sending you into that much pain…it's…just overwhelming. Our friendship can never be as it was. Those were great times but…it's over. I'm sorry," Jacob said looking away from my face. He went into a full blown sprint. I fell to the ground, sobbing like I have only once before. I saw a white flash, a piece of a tennis shoe, fall down to the ground. I realized that I would probably never see my best friend again.
I don't know how long I was sitting on the ground sobbing, but after of what seemed like forever, I felt two cold, hard hands pulling me up to a standing position.
"Are you okay?" Edward's smooth voice asked in worry. I nodded and headed back towards the house. My life was balancing on a knife's edge, and I knew I was going to fall soon. I could stay mortal, but I would loose Edward, and if that happened…I would die. So I had to go with my gut here. Maybe, Jacob would come around and see we could still be friends. But until then, I could only hope that this resentment between werewolves and vampire would only stay that way and not turn into something more. Because if there was a full fledged war, I didn't even want to think about the consequences. They fight, Paris falls. I just hoped my life wouldn't turn into a tragedy.

It was a week of laughter, of tears; a moment in time of great hopes and sorrows. Yes friends, it was Irish Hackerspace Week, a week of celebration and promotion for all of the Irish hackerspaces: Galway's 091 Labs, Dublin's TOG, Belfast's HackNI, Limerick's Hackerspace, and Hackerspace Cork.
At the end of the week? It was a success. 091 Labs hosted some very popular events; 091 Labs hosted some very unpopular events too. There were some hard lessons learned in the importance of groundwork, communication and coordination during Friday night's Synchronous Hackerspace Quiz. There were some even harder lessons in promotion and scheduling to be learned from Saturday's Poetry Smackdown and Sunday's PC Repair Day. The Poetry Smackdown unintentionally clashed with a similar event elsewhere in Galway City, the quiz fell afoul of open source technology and today's repair day suffered from an uncomfortable proximity with Sunday morning.
Incidentally: The Synchronous Hackerspace Quiz? We won – 091 Labs won. Our victory was impulsively declared in a moment of grandiose self-acclamation because of a complete breakdown in communications with the other involved Hackerspaces. We were left in a queasy limbo, adrift in time and space and unable to determine if indeed another hackerspace scored more correct answers than us. A hasty quorum was met in which it was decided to bless our article of self-held belief, a theorem that simply reads "why yes, TOG got pwnd," as an official 091 Labs doctrine.
We won, hoo-hah!
So far I've talked about failures, but we had out great successes: Gerry Kavanagh's Asterisk VOIP PBX setup demonstration, Joe Desbonnet's household hacking, yesterday's Art After Noon (Katie, Vivian, etc. – please contact me so I can correctly give credit) and solar powered-robots workshop by David McKeown all brought
the boys to the yard the public in the door. I've personally come away educated. 091 Labs has come away the wiser and with several new members (shout-out!). TOG has presumably come away pwnd in the aftermath of the quiz.
To all of the organizers of the various events: Thank you! You were the women and men who made Irish Hackerspaces Week a reality at 091 Labs.
To all of the attendees: Thank you! Come again.

USDA's Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program makes fresh fruit and vegetable snacks available at no cost to all children in participating schools. The number of children participating in the program varies each year. The program is geared toward elementary schools with the highest percentages of low income students. Total enrollment of all schools selected in the state must result in a per-student allocation of $50-$75.
Administered at the state level by Child & Adult Nutrition Services - the same agency that administers the National School Lunch Program – the program is seen as an important catalyst for changes in efforts to combat childhood obesity by helping children learn more healthful eating habits. The FFVP introduce school children to a variety of produce that they otherwise might not have had the opportunity to sample.

(CNN) -- Several major labor unions joined together to release an ad campaign this week pushing members of Congress to raise tax rates on the wealthiest Americans and protect entitlement programs from major cuts as a solution to the looming fiscal cliff, the groups announced Tuesday.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the National Education Association say they're spending $300,000 on an initial TV and radio buy for the ad campaign, according to a high ranking labor official. Combined, the three labor groups have more than 6.7 million members.
Congress faces an end-of-the-year deadline to find a deficit-reduction deal in order to avert an enormous amount of tax hikes and spending cuts set to kick in next year, also known as the fiscal cliff. At issue is a disagreement over how to best raise revenues. President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats argue for tax rate increase on the wealthiest Americans in order to raise revenue, while House Republicans call for the closing of loopholes and reform in the tax code.
Both parties have indicated a willingness to implement spending cuts, although a decision over how much and where has yet to be made.
In the upcoming week, the labor unions' commercials will appear in states with Democratic senators considered by some on the left as potentially more willing to support some major spending cuts that the unions would oppose.
The groups specifically caution against Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and education.
"If you are in the DC area and watching the Cowboys v. Redskins pre-game, you'll see the ad," the official told CNN. "If you are in Colorado, Pennsylvania, Missouri or even Alaska and you are watching the Macy's Day Parade on Thanksgiving or College football on Saturday, there's a good chance you will see the ad. And if you are online shopping or listening to the radio on Black Friday, the ad will be there too."
The television ads specifically urge voters to call Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall in Colorado, Sen. Mark Warner in Virginia, and Sen. Claire McCaskill in Missouri. The radio ads, meanwhile, target Reps. Patrick Meehan and Michael Fitzpatrick in Pennsylvania, Rep. Don Young in Alaska at Large and Rep. Jo Ann Emerson in Missouri.
"There's a debate going on in Washington about the best way to move the country forward and reduce the deficit. But there's one thing that both parties can agree on: We shouldn't raise taxes on the middle class. But if Congress fails to act soon, that's exactly what will happen," the narrator in the radio ad says.
"Middle class families can't afford that. And our economy can't afford that, either," the narrators continues. "Congress should act quickly to preserve the middle class tax cuts. And that will take leaders willing to put people ahead of partisan politics."
The new ads come as the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has also run television ads, educating viewers on the fiscal cliff issue and arguing to keep "Medicare and Social Security strong for generations to come."
Last week, President Barack Obama sat down with Congressional leaders, including House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, for a first round of negotiations.
Days earlier, the president met with leaders of the business community, as well as unions and progressive groups, to discuss the fiscal cliff and various options. In the session with labor and progressives, the president delivered a "strong" and "determined" defense of his intent to allow the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest to expire while preserving cuts for middle-income earners, according to conversations with several who attended.
CNN's Adam Aigner-Treworgy contributed to this report.

I truly enjoy watching the saw films I own all of them and I watch them everyday. they are my favorito! horror films. Each test is más amazing then the last. publicado hace más de un año

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! "I'll go get the door." Slenderman said, as he grabbed the knob and open the door, he was shocked to see...... "JIGSAW!" he yelled, "Don't mind me, I was looking for my nemesis, can tu call her here ?" Jigsaw dicho seriously, "Your nemesis ?!?!?!" Slenderman yelled, "Yes, we were legally v.s. each other, 5 days before tu came to her school and started a fiasco." Jigsaw explained, "Is this true? Why didn't tu mention this before ? " Slenderman dicho to me, "I'm sorry, I didn't remember much back then." I dicho nervously, "Now how are we supposed to fix this?" Slenderman...
From Bloody Disgusting:
"Remember when we told tu that Lionsgate was planning on remaking the Twilight films? tu can go ahead and just replace "Twilight" with "Saw"…
"Sources we trust tell Bloody exclusively that Lionsgate is tinkering with the idea of either making Saw VIII, o rebooting the Saw franchise altogether. It should also be noted that nothing is official, and nothing has been decided. Things are at infant stages at this time, but rest assured, Jigsaw will return.
I wana pull shame on that Detective Mathews cop on Jigsaw 1 for beating the hell out of John in this picture, when I saw the movie it made upset and I wanted to cry, I couldn't stand it, I CAN'T BELIEVE MATHEWS, WOULD NOT GO GET JOHN A DAMN CUP OF WATER when he needed it Mathews was soo screwed up with his life he had to hurt John and refuse everything John was teaching him. I ought to beat the hell out of that cop for hurting John, John is a good man and he did what he did for reason and I don't blame him, when I see him in pain in this first picture.. OH MY GOD i wana burst into tears.
Now I want yall to take a look at those pictures of John Kramer down there in agony and pain. All because he tried to do something good, and some people don't even appreciate it. And he got cancer, it's sad and he had a good career going, HE WASN'T A KILLER, he was a SAVIOR OF LIFE. People, understand that he cared! Some people didn't care if he died because of all the good things he did, he didn't kill for the heck of it, he did for a chance of life. He is a HERO not a KILLER. We should be thankful we even have life because of him, without him I don't know, I amor him soo much for him doing...
I think Jhon/Tobin is a good man por what he done. He learned in the past he's made mistakes that he can't fix. But in the future he can change. So at once he thought his life was worthless probly. Then he thought twice and decided to change. And im soo glad that he did this, he is VERY smart with it. And I like that saying those who don't APPRCIATE LIFE, don't DESERVE life. And so he is setting a good example for the people that have to be soo cruel. So when I watch his cine and he put's these peoples int raps, I used to think he was doing it for fun but no, he's not I understand WHY he does...
First of all, the thing that sets the Saw franchise apart from other horror films, for me, is the killer which it's centred around. John/jigsaw has a rich and believable back story. The fact that he was diagnosed with cancer and survived a suicide attempt means that he has clear motive as to why he wants people to appreciate life more. As the story unravels we find that his dreams were shattered in horrific conditions. His subjects are chosen based on the premise that they take the gift of life for granted. Therefore, he's not your typical mental-hospital-escaped o just-felt-like killing...
Mark woke up. he was tied to a chair with a metal device around his neck and chains around his arms and feet in a dark and creepy hospital. the TV turned on and a puppet with a white face appeard with circles on his cheeks.
Jigsaw: hello Mark i want to play a game.
Mark: w.. what the fuck is going on!
Jigsaw: til now tu have treated life like your own game lied and tricked those who amor you. but now it is your turn to play.
Mark: LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!
Jigsaw: your wife has no idea about Janet your secret misstress tu have told both women that tu amor them...
segundo Chapter- The Pure Origin of John Kramer
As we got to the warehouse, I looked at Dr. Gordan and asked,"So, what was my dad like as a person?" "He was truly amazing. Though what he did was controversial and probably wrong to others, he was in fact a sweet man. He loved life. He took the smallest things in life and made them into something that people should enjoy everyday. He died tragically, however." "Yeah, cancer's a bitch, huh?" "He didn't die from that. He died in the middle of a test. A man, an angry man grabbed a saw blade and sliced his throat. Everyone in that room...
All Saw fans know that John and Jill's baby Gideon died from a stillbirth. True, but what if it never happened? What if Gideon had lived and lived on John and Jill's legacy? What if none of them knew that Gideon was really alive, but was kept secret? This had been pondering in my thoughts for quite sometime now, and I feel like as a fan and a writer that I should share my thoughts of what would happen if Gideon Kramer never lost his breath of life. So, as to make things más interesting: Hello Saw fans, Gideon wants to play a game.

And, as a practical matter, the voltage at the load end (receptacle) will be less than 120V (typically 110-115V), depending on how big and long the wires are from the distribution panel to your load. Be aware that a switching power supply is a constant power device, as the line voltage drops, the line current increases. However, if you use the "nameplate" line current from the power supply you'll be always safe, because that's the maximum current the beast should draw. When calculating what sort of overcurrent protection you need, you're supposed to only load it to 80% of the rating. That is, a 20A circuit should be loaded to no more than 16A, and a 15A circuit to no more than 12A. And, in theory, the wiring should be designed to 20% more than the overcurrent protection level. Circuit breakers have a "time to trip" that varies inversely with the amount of overload. The actual "must trip" level is somewhat above the rated current, and they're typically rated at 125%, 200% and sometimes even higher. They'll trip a lot faster at 200% than at 125% overload.

HANG TIME NEW JERSEY — FIBA held the draw for the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup on Monday. The United States was drawn into Group C with the Dominican Republic, Finland, New Zealand, Turkey and Ukraine.
The World Cup will take place from Aug. 30 – Sept. 14 in Spain. Group C will play preliminary games (against each of the other five teams) in Bilbao. From there, the top four teams will advance to the 16-team, single-elimination tournament against teams from Group D.
Group C could be the deepest of the four, with five teams that have a legit shot to make the round of 16. Playing at home, Turkey went 8-0 in 2010 before falling to the U.S. in the gold medal game. Both Finland and Ukraine got some good wins at Eurobasket last year, and the Dominican Republic could have Al Horford if he's healthy. Games between the Dominican, Finland, Turkey and Ukraine will be huge.
But who's in their group isn't of much consequence for the U.S. At worst, they'll go 4-1 in preliminary-round action. It is noteworthy that the other half of the draw (Groups A and B) is much stronger at the top.
2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup groups
|Group A (Grenada)
|Group B (Sevilla)
|Group C (Bilbao)
|Group D (Gran Canaria)
|Dom. Republic
|New Zealand
|Puerto Rico
Group A is certainly the strongest in spots 1-4. France, Spain and Serbia are three of the four strongest teams in Europe, while Brazil (if they bring some of their NBA bigs) is the second best team from the Americas. It's a distinct possibility that all four of those teams will beat their Group B counterparts in the Round of 16 and face each other in the quarterfinals.
We're getting ahead of ourselves here, though. The U.S. Team's group will provide them with some solid competition before they face the pressure of single-elimination play. And we know they won't have to face Spain, France, or Serbia before the final (or, perhaps, the bronze medal game). The toughest team on their half of the bracket would be Lithuania, the team they beat in the semifinals in 2010.
In 2010 though, the U.S. didn't have to change hotels for their entire 17-day stay in Turkey. They were drawn into the group that played in Istanbul, where the entire single-elimination tournament was also played.
This time, if they were to make it to the gold medal game, they'd have to travel twice. The round-of-16 and quarterfinal games played between Groups C and D will be played in Barcelona, and the semifinals and finals will be played in Madrid.

The welcome area that will appear whenever you start up Nintendo's new Wii console, the Wii U, will be called the WaraWara Plaza.
As our Osaka-based Brian Ashcraft points out: "Warawara" (わらわら) is Japanese for "bustling". It's a suitable description for the crowd of virtual friends and other gamers you'll see when you turn the console on.
The new video up here from Nintendo—an English-language version of what aired in Japan last night-explains how the WaraWara Plaza works.
Bonus: the video also includes the first public showing of a Wii U video chat. It's awkward, but hey, that's video chat for you!
The Wii U will be out on November 18.

Made In America Conference '12
Make It In America News Conference at A&M Tape & Packaging!
By Anthony Man, Sun Sentinel
— Scores of industrial-size rolls of bubble wrap, miles of packing tape and more than 5 million cardboard boxes fill A&M Tape & Packaging, and on Monday they became the symbol of a potent political issue: American manufacturing jobs.
Started in 1977 with four employees, A&M is a success story, with almost 60 workers today.
And it's the kind of story that appeals to politicians, four of whom toured the company on Monday including U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyerof Maryland, the No. 2 Democrat in the U.S. House. He and a trio of South Florida colleagues — U.S. Reps. Ted Deutch of Boca Raton, Alcee Hastings of Miramar and Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston — are part of an effort to position their party as a friend to workers in this election year.
And focusing on manufacturing jobs is about as American as apple pie and motherhood. "They [overseas producers] may make some things better than we do, but very, very, very few things because America makes it the best," Hoyer said.
Last week, Vice President Joe Biden was in Ohio — like Florida a swing state in the November election — talking about manufacturing and economic security for middle-class workers.
On Monday, Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said there's some good news: Nationally, the economy has added 820,000 private-sector jobs in 2012, including 139,000 in manufacturing.
One of those new jobs is in A&M's tape and label division, which just added a worker because of increased demand. The company has two shifts turning out various kinds of packing tape, much of it printed with colorful logos of customers like big retail chains.
The company, which can make just about any kind of box imaginable — from a special shape for shipping a car bumper to packaging to protect cherished artworks — has moved into the fast-growing market of making boxes to ship wine for vineyards.
David and Amy Perlman, the company's owners, aren't especially political. They're registered Democrats but not active in the party and don't give political contributions. They are interested primarily in the economic success of the community, their company and their employees.
"We compete against other products that are imported," David Perlman told Hoyer. "And I just tell the customer, look, I may not be able to compete on price, but at least it's made in the U.S. We do lose out on some sales because of that. I'd rather it be that way because I think it's just really important."

Energetic Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Teresa Giudice is expecting baby #4 in September. Teresa opens up to OK magazine about her pregnancy.
"I eat everything," she tells OK with young daughter Gia at her side. "I don't watch what I eat – I'm not one of those 'oh I have to watch my figure.' I just make the baby happy. Whatever the baby wants, I eat it. No cravings." Teresa says she has had to satisfy her alcohol cravings with food.
She goes on to say she is not interested in knowing the sex of the baby. "Whatever God wants – as long as it's a healthy baby." Gia adds, "It's the fourth child and you want it to be a surprise – you should let it be a surprise."
Big sisters Gia, Gabriella and Milania are anxious to meet the new addition to the family. Teresa also adds that hubby, Juicy Joe, is a great dad.
Lessons she will like to pass on to the kids- value family and be a well-rounded good person because you have to look at yourself in the mirror daily.

From Smokey
(A note from feline Smokey to her owners.)
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years, because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too; That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night... "My day was not in vain, and now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along I made somebody smile." God says: "If you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street with me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind."
And when it's time for you to go... from that body to be free. Remember you're not going... you're coming here to me.

The only reliable way to do it is with several people, monitors and USB floppies or memory sticks. The problem (as you all know) isn't updating the BIOS, which can be done easily by PXE booting a DOS floppy image. It is the BIOS settings which are left afterwards - and I'm sepaking as someone who has tried capturing /dev/nvram settings and pushing them out to the updated nodes, which doesn't necessarily work. I would advise the original poster to read up on /dev/nvram - capture the /dev/nvram of a 'good' node in a file. Update a node via PXE, then when it is rebooted into Linux use cat goodfile > /dev/nvram A forlorn hope really.

I have been making art in one form or another since I was very young, and it has remained a lifelong fascination for me. Although I attended an art school in California, I consider myself to be mostly self-taught. This is because I was in school back in the late 1960's and early 1970's, and in the 50-odd years since then, the various processes involved in creating and reproducing art have been profoundly changed by the inception of digital technologies. Most of the things we take for granted now, such as high-resolution digital cameras, professional inkjet printers, and powerful imaging technologies were only science fiction dreams back then. I maintain a healthy sense of curiosity about new technologies and am patient enough to research...
Our return policy is very simple:
If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on FineArtAmerica.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date. As soon as it arrives, we'll issue a full refund for the entire purchase price. Please note - Fine Art America does not reimburse the outgoing or return shipping charges unless the return is due to a defect in quality.

Kostas brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 87 Designs von 30 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We're a non-profit community site for photographers/models with the darker sense of beauty. And we need to reflect that in logo.
At this point we don't have a logo at all. We need something really catchy and memorable. We want it to look serious, expensive and unique, people should feel they're privileged (and they are). On the other hand, most of our members are between 20 and 30, so i guess it shouldn't be too boring and corporate.
It will be used mainly as a web site logo, and it will be on our banners. The site itself will be totally redesigned afterwards so it could be used now only to get the right mood maybe. But the main colors will remain. So the logo should look great on black (or dark grey).
Preferably, it should be a separated text and a symbol (if it's the right word), because in some use cases only small graphic part would be possible (but of course we're assuming 'the brand' is already known or the symbol would make people with darker minds to get interested in the meaning of the logo).
The logo probably should make accent on ".net" as there's a chance will confuse the address with much more common ".com".
The logo itself should be done in vector of course.
- mainly two-colored: white and red or plain white (with black or dark background), dirrefent shades are possible of course
- present and probably accented ".net" part
- preferably should contain a separatable symbol part and a text (or combined) part
- the logo should look serious and appealing to the artistic persons, they should feel their privileged statusPlease read contest comments as there're additional info that could be helpful.
- I'm not into the whole "web 2.0" thing so i don't want any glass effects, wet floors and such. future site design won't have those.
- Don't let all the 'Angels' thing confuse you. The main subject of the art there is human (and mostly women) beauty, so all the halos and wings aren't really fit that well.

So what's obvious to you doesn't seem very obvious to me! Right. There are rules of thumb, but they are based on assumptions, and if the assumptions aren't applicable they will lead to non-optimal behavior. The right rule is "do the cost-benefit analysis and act according to what it tells you". Which will, in fact, often lead to 3-5 year replacement cycle. But additional costs along the way alter the landscape, shifting to different replacement cycles. To do the computation correctly, you have to include all sorts of marginal costs and benefits. For example, sometimes there are nonlinear benefits to finishing work faster, which favors shorter cycles. Sometimes there are nonlinear costs (or higher than normal linear costs, which ALSO favors shorter cycles. On the other hand, if somebody else pays for the power, and you have no source of money to buy replacement nodes, you run nodes until they die. All the "usual" CBAs assume a constant flow of support moneys for new nodes, and that is not always the case. rgb > > -- greg > > > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > Robert G.

InnovativeSoftwareCo needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 13 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
We are a custom development company that focuses on making cool web and mobile apps
Business and sales users
We have a iphone app design that works great but we need to add a menu to the top. We have been looking at one that etrade has in their iphone app that comes down from the top and then show icons allowing the user to scroll from side to side to get more icons. This is what we want but we cant figure out how to make it look awesome! and flawless in the current app design.
We are looking to have a contest to see some ideas and some new ways of looking at this design pattern to get ours looking as cool as etrade.
dont redesign our app, no time for that and not in scope
focus on the menu and not the icons
make it as useable and cool as possible
Attached are some images of our app as well as the IA document from the etrade one. Lastly you will find some icons we are working on using in this menu.
Thanks and good luck
Output will need to be pretty hi res to account for the new iphone4. deliverable is png and psd files

So in what has to be one of the most surreal moments of my godlessness I was asked by a close friend of mine to speak to her Sunday school class about atheism. The kids are between 15-17 and "non-denominational." My friend has sworn that this isn't some sort of malicious attempt to convert me, and I trust her on that.
I said I would give the lecture.
So people of ThinkAtheist here's my question for you:
If you could tell young Christians (in the south no less) about your atheism what would you tell them?
Views: 1711
One of many points which led to my rejection of the Southern Baptist Fanatics who tried to convince me of the "perfection" of every literal phrase and chapter of the bible may be found at this link:
@Xoandre - an interesting combination of science and science fiction.
pax vobiscum,
I grew up noticing the vast number of different belief systems out there in my local world, and the rest of the world. I was intensely curious about why people believed so strongly in what they believed, and why most of them felt that they were the only ones who could be correct.
It made me very sure that I had to learn for myself what is real, and what is myth. I couldn't depend on any one person or group's opinion, because most of them disagree with each other, and so most of them must be wrong!
Most people just believe the same teachings that their local population, family and friends believe. So the hardest part of learning for myself what's real and what's myth was to be skeptical of what my family and friends and local preachers say they believe, especially when they claim with divine authority (or other age-old "wisdom") that I should also believe it.
Then I started to wonder why there were so many cults and other oppressed or brainwashed people in the world. How could this happen to so many human beings, and how could they take their beliefs so seriously as to even think it's good to kill and destroy other human beings and lifestyles, usually in the name of their deity, or other divine leader?
Meanwhile, I kept hearing arguments against atheism, like how could one be good without God, or how can one explain the beginning of the universe, even when scientists say they don't know or aren't sure?
For one thing, I know I'm good without God, because I know in my heart what's right and wrong. And it seems that almost everyone in the world knows in their heart what's right and wrong, and are generally good to each other, unless... they're in an unhealthy, dog-eat-dog survival environment, and are desperate to survive.
And about scientists not knowing everything, and admitting they don't: That is a big difference between scientists and those of faith. We've only had serious science for a couple hundred years now, and look what we've learned and produced, compared to thousands of years of so many different myths and versions of religion!
This is not to say that science should be worshipped; question everything, even science, and even evolution. The reason science keeps writing so much about evolution, medicine, energy, electronics, and hundreds of other things we experience daily and take for granted is because it works! Current science ideas and writings are not perfect, and they never will be perfect. The point about science is... that it's humble enough to admit that it isn't perfect, but keeps trying every day to learn more and more about reality, and is able to accomplish and forecast things that were undreamed of only a hundred years ago.
Again, I do not worship science for it's own sake, but I question it every day. Science can be an evil tool just as much as it can save lives, improve health, and make the world better. It's the human beings in it that need to use the powerful tool of science with intelligence and compassion. That also means that it's even the obligation of as many people in the world as possible to learn science, question it, and help the world to determine its future, no matter one's religion or lack of it.
[I wanted to keep writing and writing, but... where does all the time go?! All you can do is highlight the most important points, right?]

A winner was selected from 22 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Elena Bridal
We believe that there is the perfect dress for every bride.....
We are an intimate family run boutique where you will be treated as a member of our family. You will be able to shop one on one with your own personal consultant who will be able to assist you with all of your dress shopping needs. We will be happy to help you shop for your dress, your maids' dresses, as well as your mom's. Our goal is to help you every step of the way.
Brides, bridesmaids, mother-of-the-bride dresses.
We don't necessarily want to go by designer (we don't carry that many designers and we don't want to look like we're a "Jasmine" store, etc). We'd like to have pages by category (wedding dresses, mothers, bridesmaids). We also don't really recommend that brides shop by designer - we like to go more by style.
We understand the unique art of selecting bridesmaids dresses to flatter each member of your bridal party. We offer a wide selection of dresses - from floor length to tea length to separates. You'll be sure to find the right dresses for your special day.
As bridal shop owners, who have also recently been brides and bridesmaids, we take pride in choosing the perfect dresses. Each season we hand pick the specific dresses from each designer to best meet the season's newest trends.
Simple, elegant
There only needs to be 2 pages designed. A home page and the general design for the interior pages.
This will be coded (not by you into a Wordpress theme) so please keep that in mind. If you are modifying an existing theme please let us know which theme you based your design off of.
"Long Island's Bridal Boutique with a Personal Touch"
1. What colors come to mind - pale golds, champagne, black, ivory
2. Name 4 words that would describe your site - warm, initimate, relaxed, not pretentious
3. Define your current customers, Define your ideal customers - Our current customer is someone who wants to shop in a smaller, helpful environment that is moderately priced. They like the fact that we remember who they are each time they walk in the door. They like that we are a "one stop shop" - brides, bridesmaids and mom's.
Competing sites:

The unsuspecting public may not realize that the library is home to many restless spirits. Ghostly apparitions and foul aberrations are held at bay within the binding of many well-rumored tomes of lore.
Resting on the shelf beside many normal, everyday books, you will find stories of the macabre, volumes of forbidden knowledge, and ghastly tales of things that lurk beyond our knowledge. The very brave — or the very foolish — may explore these and many more at the Newport Beach Public Library.
Take for instance, "The Collected Writings of Ambrose Bierce." Bierce was a prolific writer of the late 1800s and early 1900s, but disappeared without a trace sometime after 1913. Perhaps his ghostly imaginings brought him in contact with a reality beyond our own? Be your own judge and read haunting tales such as "The Middle Toe of the Right Foot," "Present at a Hanging," and many more.
The "Collected Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe" and "Poetry and Tales" both offer dozens of frightening stories and prose by perhaps the most renowned writer of American horror. Poe scripted such haunting classics as "The Premature Burial," "The Tell-Tale Heart," The Masque of the Red Death, "The Oblong Box," "The Raven" and so many more.
But, what happened to the man behind the stories? Poe was found wandering the streets of Baltimore, delirious, and wearing clothing not his own. Despite being taken to a hospital, he never become coherent and died just a few days later. What could have happened to Poe? We may never know.
With "Tales, The Dunwich Horror and Others," and "The Haunter of the Dark, and Other Tales of Horror," H.P. Lovecraft offers dozens of terrifying tales and is perhaps the most prolific author of American horror outside of Edgar Allen Poe.
"The Call of Cthulhu" is perhaps Lovecraft's most lasting story of undeniable cosmic horror — an entity born not of this Earth, waiting to awaken and swallow humanity. Other stories such as "The Dunwich Horror," "The Picture in the House," "The Hound," "The Statement of Randolph Carter," and "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" will bewilder, amaze, and terrify you.
Lovecraft's writing depicts a reality beyond our own, of which a mere glimpse will petrify you. Did Lovecraft actually see into another world? The reader will have to decide — though, it may be of some importance to note that it is said the Lovecraft's body is not truly buried beneath his own tombstone.
The library is haunted by other classic writers of horror as well. "The Selected Writings of Washington Irving" contains "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle" — two American classics, filled with a dreamlike imagination and lingering atmosphere.
Richly embedded in German folklore and American Revolutionary War history, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is commonly seen as a clever dupe of interloper Ichabod Crane. But, perhaps Irving knew more than it seems. Why else might he be buried in Sleepy Hollow cemetery?
In "Hawthorne Tales and Sketches," American author Nathaniel Hawthorn's "Young Goodman Brown" tells the story of a 17th century man's errand through the Salem wilderness and his encounters there. It is a dark tale of deceiving appearances, witchcraft, and the loss of faith, filled with a rich symbolism.
"Victorian Ghost Stories" edited by Michael Cox and R.A. Gilbert contains the writing of many famous authors such as Charles Dickens, Henry James, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Rudyard Kipling. Classic tales such as Stevenson's "The Body Snatcher" are surrounded by lesser known but equally haunting stories such as Algernon Blackwood's "Kit-bag" and Elizabeth Gaskell's "The Old Nurse's Story."
Unearth these, and many other ghostly tales at the Newport Beach Public Library … if you dare.
Please note that the Central Library is closed through Oct. 30 due to construction. The branch will reopen at 9 a.m. Oct. 31.

I've really not done much other than prep some handwork and a little more crocheting. When I came home from work yesterday, I found this quilt I made many years ago draped over the back of our couch. The housekeeper had been in that morning and apparently knocked it off the wall and couldn't figure out how to hang it back up.It's a McKenna Ryan pattern and one of the first machine applique quilts I made. It has its flaws - like the tree on the far right that is hard to see, and the fact that the water is a little too bold, but being a fly-fisher - I really like it. I got to thinking as I was re-hanging it, that it needs a bit more embellishment. I stitched in the ditch as much as I could, but I think I'll add some quilting around the border and perhaps use some metallic or decorate threads to embellish the water and the trees. The fly hooked in the fish's mouth is one of my real fishing flies!
This time of year finds Mr. Squash and I pouring through the Spring fly fishing catalogs - Orivs, LL Bean, Cabelas and the latest fly fishing magazines making sure we have enough flies and gear for the coming season! We also like to read about possible new fishing locations and dream of warmer weather to come!

San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) March 30, 2012
Floreal began his career at Stanford coaching the jumpers and continues to provide guidance to that group after being named the director of track and field in 2005. He welcomes both track and field running and cross country campers to the Stanford "Camp of Champions" this summer at The Farm.
The Stanford University "Camp of Champions" Track & Field (July 7-11) is designed for athletes with the desire and special aptitude to become more competitive in an event. It is challenging and intense, helping the young athlete grow mentally and physically tougher for competition and training. Campers can choose from all disciplines: throws(shot put, hammer, discus, javelin) sprints, hurdles, middle distance (including steeplechase), and jumps (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault). Note: Pole vaulters must bring their own poles.
The Stanford "Camp of Champions" Cross Country (July 11-15) offers runners miles of challenging and pristine trails through the use of the campus and surrounding parks. During each run, the campers are placed in small compatible groups based on fitness and ability. Each group is assigned an experienced counselor, for specialized training and individual attention. Throughout the week, training and instruction are provided in breakout sessions taught by NIKE sponsored guest athletes and coaches.
Campers during both sessions benefit from the opportunity to learn from a tremendous line –up of guest speakers, such as current Stanford student athletes, NCAA champions, Olympians, representatives from Stanford Admissions, a sports psychologist/nutritionist, and other notable Stanford alumni.
At the Nike Running Camps, our goal is to stimulate a love for running and aid runners to become better, faster and smarter athletes. They provide an educational and inspirational experience for campers, ages 10-18, all skill levels and abilities.
About US Sports Camps
US Sports Camps (USSC), headquartered in San Rafael, California, is America's largest sports camp network and the licensed operator of Nike Sports Camps. The company has offered summer camps since 1975 with the same mission that defines it today: to shape a lifelong enjoyment of athletics through high quality sports education and skill enhancement.

Chiodos' Craig Owens Talks 'Devil' Album, Return to Band + More
Chiodos are back with the new album 'Devil' and they're ready to prove something again. There's been quite a bit of change since their last studio album, as frontman Craig Owens has re-joined the band along with drummer Derrick Frost, and the group has added some vocal assistance with Thomas Erak. After touring to see how things would work out, the band forged ahead with the idea of pursuing new music.
Loudwire had a chance to talk with Craig Owens about his return to Chiodos, the band's impressive new 'Devil' album and plenty more. Check out our chat below.
Hey Craig … Just want to congratulate you on 'Devil.' Great album.
Thank you! You heard it?
Absolutely top to bottom. Did you have any idea of what you wanted to do going into the studio for this album and how close did it come to your original vision?
That is an awesome question and the first time I have been asked that. Originally my vision for it -- I didn't really know what I wanted. It is hard to predict a Chiodos record. We all have such strong personalities within each song and they all represent different emotions and things like that. It is a very eclectic band. I don't want to compare us to them because I don't think we are nearly as good as them but it's like sitting down and predicting what a Queen record would sound like. You just don't really know, or what I would imagine writing a Queen record would be like. It would just be a free for all, you know. When we sat down and started writing I knew a couple of directions I wanted to go in musically.
Like 'Duct Tape,' I wanted to try an ambient hip hop oriented Peeping Tom ode to Mike Patton vibe on that track. I knew that one for sure. I knew that '3 AM' and 'Halo' that I wanted to do one kind of very vulnerable song that was very honest and bright but dark lyrically. One song that was emotionally heavy and lyrically heavy was 'Under Your Halo.' Other than that we just tried to write a Chiodos record. You know, you just sit down and write a Chiodos record, it can't be explained any other way, other than really a Chiodos record.
Your return along with Derrick Frost coming back to the band, it has kind of rejuvenated Chiodos. Even though you have a history with the guys, did it take a while to get back into sync or was it a natural evolution?
Basically it was natural because musically is never where we had the problems. It was communication and personal. Those things are still getting worked out. We are going to have to work hard to maintain our relationship and keep it evolving and keep it productive just like any relationship. I am, basically, married to five guys and in order to maintain those relationships it takes a lot of time and effort and most of all communication.
You've added Thomas Erak to your band. Obviously he has a history with The Fall of Troy as well but can you talk a little bit about adding another guy to the band that has a history with some lead vocals and how that has affected the overall process.
It is awesome. I love having Thomas in the band and I love the fact that he was a singer in his last few bands. It really helps me out when we play live. He can help me focus in places where I would normally have to cut it off because of breathing and things like that. He helps out a lot. Also with screaming, he can help me take it easy on my voice so I can perform better. It is awesome having him there and having him do that. He wasn't as hands on with the record as I would have liked him to have been vocally. I wanted more of him but I think that he was just trying to find his comfort level with this group and find his role. I think with the next Chiodos record, if there is one, there will be more Thomas on it.
I've got to say '3 AM' is a great song the start things off with. Can you talk a little about that track and how it came together?
I mean straight up I couldn't sleep I was maybe two months out of rehab and I was working on my sleeping patterns and trying to fix that. I woke up and I was reflecting on life. Like any one that goes through a traumatic situation might kind of. I was thinking about The Beatles and I was thinking out their songwriting process because I like to study different songwriters to write differently. I was listening to 'As My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the lyrics in it and I was like, "It really sounds like this dude sat down with a guitar looked around him for what was happening and just wrote about it." So that is what I did. I mean it really was '3 AM,' I really was sitting on my couch in my place in Michigan that I no longer have. I am in L.A. now. I was in Michigan doing that. I heard the water dripping from the sink in the kitchen and I was like, "Why am I up and what is wrong with me? How can I make my life better?" That is when I really started tackling the moral standards for myself. That is what you hear in the song.
Some of the clever titles that you guys have -- 'We're Talking About Practice.' Big Allen Iverson fan or no?
[laughs] Of course, who is not a big Allen fan? First of all Brad and I are massive, massive basketball fans but with that being said what basketball fan is not an A.I. fan. I wish that he would have lived up to his full potential a little bit more but the dude is just great and no one can ever forget that press conference he gave about practice. I am definitely a fan of him and his crossover.
I dig that song as well. If you want to talk about where that song comes from.
Lyrically I messed around with idioms. Like devil's advocate and the devil in me, things like that. I kind of reversed a lot of idioms in there. I just really wanted to do a fun play on words describing this long search for pretty much being happy making music. That is pretty much what that song is about and this constant search of trying to capture in your arms this things that is elusive. You just can't grab on to it. So that is kind of the song. It was originally written completely on piano and it was one of Brad's champion songs. Each song has a different champion in our band and Brad is champion in that song. We all sat down and he helped him get to where it needed to go. It was the best way to start of the record, that is why the UG intro goes into it. Yeah, we are stoked that that song works so well to be the intro to the new record. Lyrically it makes sense. Musically. I love that track.
It's not uncommon for bands to throw a preview track out there to get fans excited about an album but what you guys are doing with the instant gratification campaign is pretty awesome. Six new songs coming off of the record early. Can you talk a little about the decision to unleash so much of your music early and get it out there for fans to listen to?
Yeah, let's just be honest and straight up, records leak. We were hoping that 1) Not everyone knows that I'm in the band again so we wanted to get that across. We also wanted to get across the fact that we are making new music, we wanted to give it time to breathe. Most of all we have dedicated fans that haven't heard new music from us since 2007 with this lineup with the exception of Thomas. We owed it to them to get them new music. We did it for the fans and the fact that records leak.
We are hoping that six tracks will be enough to where people will at least want to purchase the record when it comes out for the last six. Maybe if it stops a couple of people from downloading then so be it. With the Internet, you have content and loads and load of content. Putting only two songs out there and expecting people to be fully excited about a record is misleading and it just doesn't seem like it works with the day and age that we are now living in.
I know you guys are shooting quite a few videos for this record as well. If you want to talk a little bit about your favorite video that you have shot or that you are going to shoot for this record.
Of course. Well, we viewed it a little different than maybe the general public would. Again, Internet, this is the easy content. We wanted to go above and beyond, above and beyond what is normal but in that Chiodos way. We are creating visual partners for every single one of the songs and only like 2 or 3 or maybe 4 of the tracks will have actual music videos. So, we shot 'Ole Fishlips Is Dead Now' and '3 AM' recently, we are hoping to do two more. Those will be out fairly soon but in the mean time we are going to continue to go out with these visual companions, these partners for the release of the songs.
We did that because straight up YouTube is the number one place to go find music statistically and that is where you get music these days .We know that and we didn't want the songs to go up with the album title and the album art and the picture and nothing matching it. We wanted to try to control the content a little bit more. We wanted to add an above and beyond artistic point of view on top of it. We had our friend Kyle Thrash throw together some videos and he really took the reins on it. We gave him some suggestions, vibes and we nit-picked them a little bit as they came in. We just wanted to make sure that we had videos that matched every single one of these songs. When you go back and listen it has a visual partner. When you are showing it to someone they don't just have to sit there and stare at the album art on the video. The opportunity is there for more art so why wouldn't we be more artistic.
You've got the Devil Dance Tour coming up and this record sounds like there are a lot of songs that would go over well live. How much do you consider the live aspect of things when you are putting together the music?
We focus on it a lot. Specifically with heavier songs. That can help shape and take us down this path or that path and we can decide what it is we want to do next. I would say that it is very noticeable and definitely something we talk about and relevant to how we write song but it isn't the end all. We do things that you wouldn't do live in the studio and we didn't ignore those moments either.
The 'Devil Dance' is going to be awesome. We are so excited to get out on tour. We started already touring now. We were just through London yesterday to Corpus Christi, TX where we start the campaign the first three weeks of tour up until the record release and then the Devil Dance Tour starts. I'm just excited to get out and play these new songs for people.
Also on this tour Emarosa, Hands Like Houses, Our Last Night, '68. Can you talk about any of those bands and maybe your thoughts on your support acts?
Yeah, we chose them on purpose and for reasons. They are all out there delivering a real honest message, a genuine message. That is that they are themselves, they're not trying to overcompensate by being busy with their fans or their image or they are not trying to overcompensate by shock appeal or anything like that. They are real artists that are out there making real music that isn't covered up with any electronic influences and things like that. Not that electronic music isn't real but I am talking that these are guys with guitars, rock music without too much outside influence. We wanted to deliver a nice organic real tour. Hopefully that connects with kids. It represents who we are as well. Our picking those bands was a big deal to us and we didn't do that lightly. We are excited about where that leads us for the future.
Right on. Chiodos are hitting the road, the record is coming out. Anything else on the horizon that you wanted to add?
Yeah. I just want to say that I am really thankful to be back in Chiodos again. I know that I have been inconsistent as far as my career goes for an outsider perspective and I am looking to change that and right those wrongs. I want to thank everyone that has supported Chiodos for so long. I hope that they're going to stand by us and come down this new journey with us. We really do have some of the most intelligent and thoughtful fans. I am hoping that they stick by us and support us through our new musical endeavors.
Our thanks to Chiodos frontman Craig Owens for the interview. Be sure to check out the band's 'Devil' album, hitting stores this week. You can order it via iTunes or Amazon. And look for the band on tour. See their dates here.

European Commission - Press release
Environment: Commission to address water challenges via innovation partnership
Brussels, 14 May 2012. The European Commission today proposed to boost innovation to deal with water related challenges by creating a European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Water. The partnership will bring together all relevant actors across borders and sectors, such as the water sector, small and medium sized enterprises, the research community, local governments, water-using industries, and the financial sector to accelerate the development and uptake of innovative solutions to water challenges. A Strategic Implementation Plan will be developed with key stakeholders to define the priority areas for action. The EIP on Water will seek to align the activities and outcomes of existing European, national and regional activities.
Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik said: "The European Innovation Partnership on Water will help ensure that we can continue to provide safe, available and affordable water for all, by supporting the development of innovative solutions to deal with water challenges – while simultaneously aiming to position Europe as a world leader in water technology and services."
The partnership, announced in a Communication released today, will centre on removing barriers to innovation and connecting the supply and demand sides of water related innovations. The activities of the EIP on Water will be structured around challenges in the areas of urban water management, rural water management and industrial water management, as well as addressing cross cutting themes.
Anticipated outputs of the EIP on water include:
The EIP on water is expected be fully operational in early 2013 and to start delivering first results within one year.
Next Steps
The Communication on the EIP on Water will now be considered by the Council and the European Parliament. If endorsed, Commissioner Potočnik will invite participants for the High-Level Steering Group for a first meeting before the Summer. The High-Level Steering Group will nominate a Task Force which will draft a Strategic Implementation Plan. Adoption of the Strategic Implementation Plan by the High Level Steering Group is foreseen for December 2012 and aims to be operational in early 2013.
The world water market is growing rapidly and estimated to reach 1 trillion USD by 2020. European water related sectors already operate world-wide in developing innovative water solutions, but often fail to capture their full economic potential. Eliminating the obstacles for market breakthroughs and promoting Europe's comparative advantages in the innovation value chain will help companies to bring their solutions to the market and reap related rewards. Unlocking the innovation potential in the field of water management could significantly contribute to job creation and competitiveness in Europe. A 1 % increase of the rate of growth of the water industry in Europe could create up to 20,000 new jobs.
European Innovation Partnerships, proposed by the Europe 2020 Innovation Union flagship initiative, aim to speed up innovations that contribute to solving societal challenges, enhance Europe's competitiveness and contribute to job creation and economic growth. EIPs help to pool expertise and resources by bringing together public and private actors at EU, national and regional level, combining supply- and demand-side measures.
The EIP on Water is linked to the Europe 2020 Resource efficient Europe flagship initiative which underlines the importance of the sustainable management of water. It will build on the Eco-Innovation Action Plan, which focuses on boosting innovations that reduce pressure on the environment and on bridging the gap between innovation and the market. Innovation is also identified as a key tool to support the policy options to be developed by the Blueprint to protect Europe's water resources – the EU's response to the ongoing vulnerability of the water environment – to be issued in November 2012.

Idol Chatter
Russ Mitchell
A recent newspaper article that indicated Twitter is some kind of fad that could come and go in the next few years seems kind of sad to me.
The great equalizer in our society isn't economic or legal or anything like that. It's actually twitter, I would argue.
Where else can a schlub like me reach out to greats in their respective fields like TV anchor Russ Mitchell, entrepreneur Daymond John and sportscaster Dick Vitale and ACTUALLY get responses to things I have written?
I have one main social media to thank … and that's twitter.
While Facebook has done its part, as well, it's really more of a social outlet. Twitter, to me, is more about promoting oneself professionally.
And it has been a remarkable way to "meet" stars like the ones I mentioned.
Mitchell and John both took a few moments to respond positively to tweet and/or story, while Vitale wasn't too happy that I'm not a big fan of his work on ESPN.
That's OK, we can agree to disagree, but just to get his response is pretty darn cool…and I did refer to him as 'great' earlier in this post!
I enjoy having over 800 followers on twitter, it's a real honor … and I have Beliefnet to thank too for that!
So … who really gives a tweet about twitter?
I do!
I just noticed that the late, great Sammy Davis Jr's birthday, Dec. 8, came and went over the weekend.
I miss the talented man, who broke down racial barriers through high great singing, dancing and even acting skills.
Yes, even the latter, as judged by his appearance on the TV classic "All in the Family""
Sammy Davis Jr.
Davis had many hysterical moments in the episode, where he supposedly left his briefcase in Archie's cab and had to pick it up at the Bunker home.
Many laughs ensued as the liberal duo of Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers tried their best to ruin conservative Archie's moment in the spotlight with the star, who played himself.
Davis showed off his acting chops a bit with his reaction to Edith's offering of a Twinkie to their guest.
Davis looked positively stunned at the sight of the sponge cake stuffed with vanilla filling.
It was a subtle moment, but it should be noted that a Twinkie, reportedly about to be undergoing its final shipment, helped bring together black and white, rich and poor.
The episode stands in stark contrast to what 'passes' for comedy today: Jamie Foxx's pathetic rant about Barack Obama being his 'Lord and Savior'. (I won't write 'our' as I couldn't disagree with his assessment more and believe it was very tasteless).
I haven't enjoyed a twinkie for a long time, but the world was a better place with them in it.
The same could be said, with all respect intended, for Sammy Davis Jr.
Daymond John
Inspiring people who are role-models are often difficult to come by when it comes to today's television shows.
Programs are often so full of rude, crude and offensive behavior from people with the same qualities it is making TV harder and harder to watch.
ABC's "Shark Tank" thankfully has little of that so-called "edgy" material in it, though the hosts can sometimes be unnecessarily rude to each other as they battle it out to possibly invest in others' dreams/inventions.
Another reason I enjoy the program is the presence of Daymond John. The FUBU creator and business entrepreneur comes across as a good man and role-model in a time when the world is practically crying out for decent people.
Although he has an unwavering desire to succeed in his many ventures, John still displays his huge heart and compassion. He once 'chased down' a couple to complete a deal when he knew it would be in their best interests to work with him.
That just doesn't happen on "Shark Tank", where once you show your hand a deal either gets done, or not, often in the best interests of the hopeful entrepreneurs.
Things won't come easily for the business hopefuls, whether or not John or his colleagues, like Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, invest in them or not.
Perhaps that's the way it should be. John started out by working on his FUBU business while keeping a full-time job at Red Lobster until he built it up.
So keep on keepin' on Daymond John. The world needs more people like you!
