Friday Fragments are the brainchild of Mrs.4444 and you can find more at Half Past Kissin' Time.
This week I've got some fragments and some pictures I've found on the internet that made me laugh and love the internet!
Last week I got fake (acrylic) nails. Yeah... I have only had them one other time, for my wedding. I recently decided I wanted to try them out again because I really want to have square nails and I just can't get my nails to stay in that shape. I did it once, in December. And they were perfect. For about 20 hours, until one broke and I was back to square one. I've had them for a little over a week actually, and I'm getting used to them. I have been really into nail polish lately and I started a new blog, Nail Me, to post about it... it's a little crazy, but I have so much fun with it. It's a fun way to dress up without having to spend a bunch of money on new clothes etc.
Here is a little peek of what's over there today - my first Water Marble. I LOVE IT.
The day before Valentine's Day, Washington Governor Christine Gregoire signed legislation that will make it legal for gay couples to marry in Washington State come this June. I am so proud of Washington for finally doing this. We're not the first, but we're far from the last. Even after 10 days, I still choke up when I think about it. I think of my friends who are gay, and the fact that they have not been afforded the same rights that I have, and I am so, so happy that they will finally get what they deserve.
Engagement Ring WIN - More than meets the eye!

So, Danny is 21 months old now, and we have taught him a couple of signs. He still doesn't really talk, he just has a few words (cat, car, dog) that he'll say, but I'm not sure anyone else can understand them. A couple of weeks ago we noticed that he had started doing this sign where he would pat his left arm near his wrist with his right hand. I asked my Mom if she'd taught it to him and she said no, and we finally realized he made up his own sign! It basically means 'I don't like this' or 'I don't want to.' It is so fascinating to watch them grow and learn!
Because when I hear WWF, I ALWAYS get confused like this.

Last month for my book club, we read Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. The first half of the story didn't really pull me in, but once I hit the second half? Woo boy! I loved it, despite the fact that I was crying through most of it. I'm pretty sure the last time I cried that much was at the end of My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, and if you've read that one, you know why. So I decided I need to read way more Kristin Hannah books. I just finished Night Road, which I really liked. I need to get started on my book club book, but sometimes I get in the mood for one author and I just go on a streak. I think I'll read Firefly Lane next.
FLASH drive!

Let's talk TV for a minute... I feel like I want to write a separate post about this week's Glee and Parenthood episodes, since I watched them right in a row then kind of wanted to assume the fetal position. Did anyone else watch The River? I haven't watched the second episode yet, but I totally loved the first! It was so freaking scary though - those scenes with the dolls? Just... no. So creepy! I liked how they revealed so much in the beginning - what the explorer guy was actually searching for/doing out there - and didn't drag it out. I also watched the first episode of Awake, and I really liked it. Plus it has Jason Isaacs and BD Wong, both of whom I really like! And finally, this week was the first part of the finale of the greatly underwhelming Top Chef Texas. I really, really want Paul to win.
You guys, Bakerella is a freaking genius. SO CUTE!
Did you hear that some crazy-ass politician in Indiana decided to rail against the Girl Scouts because of his opinion that they are promoter and supporters of Planned Parenthood? Also, Rick Santorum talked about Satan, and I tried to figure out how it is even possible that he is an actual candidate.
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Change the border around tool sessions
We should change the border around tool sessions to make them look more like the seminars. There should be an (X) in the upper-right corner, a "pop-out" icon, and a resize shangle. I wonder if we want to move the "pop-out" icon up by the (X) to make it look more like "maximize". Maybe, maybe not.
We can probably remove tabs like "About", "Questions", etc., above the tool session area. These are now links inside the tool session (for Rappture tools, at least). We have another wish that asks for more of these tabs, to be consisten with the "About" page. A better solution might be to direct them to the "About" page for that information.

The number of players on the disabled list is actually down a tad this season, projecting to fewer than the 3,000 games lost that was the norm from 2008-11.
According to Major League Baseball's tracking, there were 183 players on the 15-day disabled list at this date a year ago, compared with 178 now. And there were 21 players on the 60-day disabled list as opposed to 13 now.
But you would be hard-pressed to find anyone in baseball - particularly with the Red Sox, Phillies, and Yankees - who takes any solace in that.
Whatever the rate of injury, the fact is, players are getting hurt. And when they do, they aren't coming back very soon.
One National League manager was driven to the point of saying, "You come to the ballpark every day and you wonder, 'Who's going down next and how long is he going to be out?' Probably longer than you think. It's frustrating.''
Phillies starter Roy Halladay is a bulldog who never complains, but after his depleted offense again could not support his effort in a game against Washington last week, he said, "There are a lot of guys, including myself, who are trying to carry the weight of the team. You can't play that way, and I think you've seen that.
"Everybody's trying to pick up slack for what we may not be doing and guys we're missing and all that. That only seems to compound the problem.''
And then, said an NL manager, "It seems some guys have to be 1,000 percent healthy to get back on the field. You have to handle everyone so delicately. It's overtaking the game, really, where the manager is spending most of his time going through medical reports and rehab assignments.''
People sometimes blame agents like Scott Boras; there is a perception that he advises his players to make sure they're 100 percent before they get back on the field. Not exactly bad advice, but not the greatest approach for teams that are paying out millions to players sitting on the sidelines.
"I've heard people say that about Boras clients, but I've also seen Boras clients who play through all sorts of pain and come back sooner than they're supposed to,'' said Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington. "Jason Varitek and Johnny Damon played through anything.''
But the Variteks and Damons are few and far between.
What has changed?
The wink-wink explanation is that many players are now off performance-enhancing substances. Players used to take steroids and HGH for quicker recovery.
There's also the money. Jacoby Ellsbury proved that you don't have to play to make a lot of money. In the offseason after he made $490,000 and played in 18 games, his salary rose to $2.9 million.
The disabled list reads like an All-Star team.
You have first basemen Ryan Howard and Lance Berkman; second basemen Brian Roberts, Chase Utley, and Freddy Sanchez; shortstops Stephen Drew and Alex Gonzalez; third basemen Evan Longoria and Pablo Sandoval; outfielders Carl Crawford, Matt Kemp, Vernon Wells, Jayson Werth, Franklin Gutierrez, Jason Bay, Brett Gardner, Austin Jackson, and Ellsbury; and catchers Victor Martinez and Chris Ianetta.
The pitching staff includes Chris Carpenter, Daniel Hudson, John Lackey, Daisuke Matsuzaka, John Danks, Mike Pelfrey, Brett Anderson, Dustin McGowan, Scott Baker, and Nick Blackburn, with a nice bullpen of Mariano Rivera, Joakim Soria, Ryan Madson, Dave Robertson, Andrew Bailey, Brian Wilson, and Drew Storen.
And we're just skimming the surface.
"It's about doing the best you can until your guys get healthy, and once they get healthy, hold your breath that someone else doesn't go down,'' said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel.
"Every team deals with it,'' said Orioles manager Buck Showalter. "The one good thing it does is it allows opportunity for other players.''
Two players who have stepped up in Boston because of injuries are Daniel Nava, who was heading toward career minor leaguer status, and Will Middlebrooks, who wasn't expected in the majors until 2013.
How about the one Alfredo Aceves got in replacing Bailey?
In St. Louis, Lance Lynn made the rotation because Carpenter was injured. All Lynn has done is go 7-1 with a 2.54 ERA. Minor league journeyman infielder Irving Falu got his opportunity in Kansas City when Chris Getz went down and hit .400 in his first 35 at-bats. Raul Ibanez replaced Gardner nicely for the Yankees.
Scott Diamond has given the Twins some hope for their pitching future, getting a chance when Blackburn and Baker were hurt. Steve Lombardozzi has filled in admirably in Washington for injured third baseman Ryan Zimmerman.
Yet teams still wait and wait on injured players.
In Arizona, Drew, a Boras client, hasn't played for an eternity. He fractured his ankle last July and remains unable to play. Cleveland's Grady Sizemore has had one injury after another and may be back sometime in June. Maybe.
Teams also can be guilty of stretching out injuries. They are so afraid of backlash from players and agents that they take the most conservative approach.
"Some of the rehab schedules are crazy,'' said an American League manager. "I don't know what happened to doing as much as you feel you can do.
"You've got guys taking 10 swings in a cage for days and days. Why can't they just swing to the point where they don't feel any more pain?''
Good question.
Apropos of something
Don't include Cook in a game of slow-pitch
Slow, slower, slowest.
Sums up the Red Sox starting rotation.
That notion was confirmed by ESPN's research department, which determined that Boston has five of the seven slowest-working pitchers in baseball.
As of last week, Clay Buchholz was the slowest worker among American League starters, averaging almost 26 seconds between pitches.
The slowest seven: Buchholz, 25.8; Jeremy Hellickson; 24.4; Daniel Bard, 24.2; Yu Darvish, 24.0; Jon Lester, 23.8; Felix Doubront, 23.3; and Josh Beckett, 23.2. The league average was 21.2 seconds.
One who will never make the list is Aaron Cook.
"That's their style of pitching,'' said Cook when asked about his teammates. "That's how they're effective. For me, when I slow down, I get off a rhythm. I like to work quick, get the hitters in the batter's box and hopefully get them out quickly.
"I've heard stories of how slow the games are over here, but I think the guys are working at the pace they need to work at.''
The Red Sox have received a few memos from the league office about picking up the pace. When Buchholz is timed at 33 seconds between pitches, something's not right.
"In Colorado, they tried to get guys to work upbeat,'' said Cook. "After I watched Greg Maddux all those years and he just threw the ball in the dirt, got the ball back, and started right back with another pitch, that's the way I wanted to be.
"I kind of tell people my attention span is only two hours so I try to get it over with as quickly as possible. I think there's something to be said for being comfortable and working quick.
"Sometimes you get hitters speeding up a little bit. Sometimes they'll call time out a lot, and I don't get mad at that. They realize what I'm trying to do and I know what they're trying to do.''
Working quickly also makes fielders stay sharp.
"I've heard guys say they like working behind me,'' said Cook, "because they can stay on their toes when they're out there. I try to help them out because I know they're the ones making the plays behind me so I want them to be comfortable.''
Apropos of nothing
1. Ben Cherington has not ruled out John Lackey pitching in September. Lackey is coming along well in his rehab from Tommy John surgery.
2. A lot of older players - Hideki Matsui, Vladimir Guerrero, Johnny Damon, etc. - have stayed in baseball. J.D. Drew isn't one of them.
3. The Red Sox have discussed the possibility of adding another short-season A-ball team. Cherington indicated that there are benefits, particularly if you want a teaching-type team where players can be in a more competitive environment than extended spring training. Currently, the Blue Jays are the only American League team with a third short-season A-ball team.
4. There are people actually happy that Curt Schilling's Rhode Island-based video game company is dying. Really? How would you like to be one of the 400 people losing their jobs? It's no laughing matter.
5. Through Wednesday, the Tigers had allowed 16 more stolen bases than they had stolen. The Red Sox were second in the majors in steal differential, with 13 more allowed than stolen.
6. Many of us thought Colorado general manager Dan O'Dowd did a nice job trying to fix the Rockies in the offseason, but so far it just hasn't worked out. The starting pitching has been horrible. Starters were 8-18 with a 5.55 ERA heading into the weekend. One of the culprits was Jhoulys Chacin, who was 0-3, 7.30, before going on the disabled list May 1.
7. Relievers Aroldis Chapman (Reds), Ryan Cook (A's), Scott Downs (Angels), Lucas Luetge (Mariners), and Dale Thayer (Padres) started the season with no runs allowed in at least 10 appearances. Chapman had at least one strikeout in each of his first 15 outings. Cook hadn't allowed a run in 20 games (22 2/3 innings). Downs has converted all three save opportunities since being named closer. Luetge didn't allow an earned run in his first 17 major league appearances, a Mariners club record.
8. Best-managed bullpens in baseball this year: Buck Showalter with the Orioles and Bobby Valentine with the Red Sox.
Updates on nine
1. Roy Oswalt, RHP, free agent - While he was eager to work out for the Red Sox after turning them down before the season, some things haven't changed. He would still rather play for Texas or St. Louis, according to a major league source. As of last week, the Red Sox had not discussed money with him. They liked what they saw, but the ball is still in Oswalt's court.
2. Josh Willingham, OF, Twins - Whether he's available, who knows? But with a shortage of run-producing outfielders out there, teams will line up for him at the trading deadline or when the Twins feel they're in a sell-off mode. One general manager told me, "Of all the guys out there, he's one who can significantly impact your offense immediately.''
3. Chone Figgins, 3B, Mariners - The Mariners couldn't pull the trigger on releasing him after Miguel Olivo came off the disabled list last week, but it doesn't appear that he will be in Seattle much longer. The Mariners have tried to deal Figgins, who has $15 million remaining on his contract. At some point, a team with a lot of injuries might bite if the Mariners pick up some of the freight.
4. Alfonso Soriano, LF, Cubs - Theo Epstein is willing to eat most of Soriano's $48 million if he can trade him. Trouble is, Soriano is not cooperating. He is hitting only .263 with a .691 OPS. High-priced dumps have to show they're worth dealing for, because the GM on the other end has to be able to justify picking up an over-the-hill player. Epstein approached the Red Sox about Soriano before the season and while they were discussing Marlon Byrd, but not since. Even with their rash of outfield injuries, the Sox have not bitten, and probably won't unless there is a disaster around the corner. Soriano is also dealing with some knee pain, which won't help.
5. Ryan Dempster, RHP, Cubs - On the flip side of Soriano is Dempster. Here is another case where Epstein will eat most of a $14 million salary if he can move him. Dempster is pitching very well. He has a 2.14 ERA in eight starts (albeit an 0-3 record) and a WHIP of 1.061. With his experience, don't be surprised if Dempster is the next Cubs veteran to go to a contender.
6. Doug Fister, RHP, Tigers - Fister, who starts Monday vs. the Red Sox, is 0-2 with a 1.84 ERA. That is nothing new, as Fister was 3-12 with a 3.33 ERA in Seattle when he was dealt to the Tigers at the trading deadline last season. According to Elias, "His teammates averaged only 2.78 runs per game in Fister's 59 starts with Seattle - the lowest run support afforded by any American League team to any pitcher who started his career in the so-called 'live-ball era' (dating from when Babe Ruth joined the Yankees in 1920) and made at least 50 starts with that team.'' Hard to believe that a Tigers lineup we thought was so potent has left one of its pitchers parched for run support.
7. Andrew McCutchen, OF, Pirates - We mention him because he is the team's offense, hitting .331 with 7 homers and 24 RBIs. The Pirates are looking under every rock for offense. Things are so bad that both corner infielders - Casey McGehee at first (.184) and Pedro Alvarez at third (.205) - are around the Mendoza Line. They have virtually nothing at Triple A. Pinch hitters Yamaico Navarro and Nate McLouth were a combined 0 for 22 heading into the weekend.
8. Jed Lowrie, SS, Astros - The Astros are loving Lowrie's strong start at the plate and steady play in the infield because they can now add him to the list of players available in deals at the trading deadline. Lowrie (7 homers) joins first baseman Carlos Lee (.304), lefty Wandy Rodriguez (2.14 ERA), and closer Brett Myers (12 saves) as Houston players who could be on the move.
9. Alex Gordon, OF, Royals - There's a feeling that Gordon could be had in a deal, but it would take an overwhelming package, one that includes a front-line starting pitcher. There are a lot of teams out there who need outfielders, and Gordon would be high atop anyone's list.
Short hops
From the Bill Chuck files: "Ricky Nolasco became the Marlins franchise wins leader when he earned his 69th victory this past week. Since 1993, when the Marlins were founded, the pitcher who has won the most games while playing with just one franchise, like Nolasco, is Tim Wakefield, who won 170 games for Boston.'' Also, "Through Thursday, Mike Aviles led all major league shortstops with 28 RBIs, and had more than Marco Scutaro (4) and Lowrie (18) combined.'' . . . Interesting stuff from Stats Inc: Run production is down to 4.21 per team per game through May 24. It has dropped every season since 2006. Also, here is the Don Mattingly influence with the Dodgers: Catcher A.J. Ellis averages a major league-high 4.71 pitches per plate appearance. Toronto's Rajai Davis has stolen third base 46 times in 49 attempts. And how about the Braves? They're averaging 4.89 runs per game, fourth in the majors. Last year, they averaged 3.96, the major reason they missed the playoffs . . . Happy birthday, Jeff Bagwell (44) and Mark Clear (56).Nick Cafardo can be reached at email@example.com.

Author Notes: I recently became completely obsessed with the savory seasonal turnovers from a bakery nearby me, so of course I had to start experimenting and creating my own. I love the aromatic warmth that garam masala adds to sweet potatoes - it just smells like the holidays to me! And, wrapped up in buttery, flaky puff pastry, it makes a delicious side dish, or appetizer for that matter. —fiveandspice
Makes: 4 or 8
pound sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
tablespoons olive oil
clove garlic, peeled and minced
teaspoon salt
teaspoon garam masala
cup farmer's cheese, crumbled
ounces package of all-butter puff pastry, cold
egg, lightly beaten
In This Recipe
- Put the sweet potato in a pot and fill with just enough water to cover. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer until the potato pieces are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving a couple of tablespoons of the cooking liquid and mash the potatoes and liquid together until pretty smooth.
- In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the garlic and cook for one minute, then stir in the garam masala and cook for another minute until fragrant. Take off the heat.
- Scrape the oil with the garlic and spice into the mashed potatoes, add the farmer's cheese and salt and mash everything together. (Add a splash of milk or cream if a little more liquid is needed) Set aside.
- On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut either 4 (4-in.) or 8 (2-in) circles out of the dough depending on if you want regular or mini turnovers. Or - even easier - cut the dough into 4 or 8 squares. Scoop a little mound of the mashed potatoes onto one half of each dough piece, leaving some room along the border (about 1/2 inch, or a titch less - I always do my best to get just as close to overfilling them as possible and while still being able to close and seal them). (Oh, and if you want another burst of flavor along with the potatoes, add a tiny spoonful of your favorite cranberry or apple chutney.) Then, fold the empty side of the pastry over and press the edges together. Use a fork to make little dimples along the edge and prick a couple small air holes in the tops of each little turnover. Transfer to a baking sheet and chill in the fridge until ready to bake, and at least a half an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 400F. Get the turnovers out of the refrigerator and brush a little of the beaten egg on each. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the are golden brown and flaky. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.

Earlier in the year, we showed off a feature that teased developers with the ability to create shapes attached to the device's camera feed.
Today, we're happy to announce that this feature has been added to daily build 2013.2106 for iOS devices. This functionality will allow developers to use the camera feed as a texture, which means the texture can be placed under objects and overlays, on top of objects, within containers, or attached to box2d objects.
In addition, developers can also apply effects to the real-time camera feed, which results in some neat distortion of the environment.
We can't wait to see what the community does with this!
To set the shape's texture fill to the camera feed, it is as simple as defining the shape and setting the fill type to camera:
local shape = display.newRect( 0, 0, 320, 480 )
shape.anchorX = 0
shape.anchorY = 0
shape.fill = type="camera"
Setting the effect on the camera feed works the same way as setting an effect on existing fill types. For example, the sobel, and pixelate filter works on the camera feed in real-time to produce the final visual effect with the syntax below:
--Example effects
shape.fill.effect = "filter.sobel"
shape.fill.effect = "filter.pixelate"
We're adding two sample projects to our Github repository. One sample shows several fish overlayed on top of the video feed, with the ability to toggle filters. The second sample shows several box2d objects with the camera feed as the fill and different filter effects applied to each shape object.
The two sample projects are available here.
Since there are countless new ways to exercise this functionality, this feature should be treated as a beta feature. This feature works with most single-pass filters and is only available to Pro and above users.
See the video below for an example.
Happy Holidays!

Global real estate markets had a forgettable last year, with prices rising a paltry 0.5 percent, leading to gloomy forecasts for 2012. But over the past five years, prices have registered huge gains, sparking fears of an asset bubble and concerns over the impact of high household debt.
We've put together a list of the world's 10 hottest property markets based on research by global real estate consultancy Knight Frank, which ranks countries according to highest average growth in housing prices from the fourth quarter of 2006 to the same period in 2011.
The national five-year averages reflect mainstream housing prices in most major cities in all the listed countries expect China, which only includes home prices in Beijing and Shanghai.
Click ahead to find out which property markets have skyrocketed.

text: When my oldest daughter was 2, I had a friend who held an art class for kids in her house once a week. In that class we did this project. Take any vegetables or fruits you have on hand and cut them up how you would like. Then dip them into paint and stamp them onto paper to explore the different shapes and textures they can make. It took us a bit to get the stamping part down, they wanted to wipe the colors all over their papers instead of using a stamping motion (which really is fine, you just get a different effect). It is a pretty messy project if you try and get the different sides and textures of the fruits and vegetables, which is probably why my friend did this project outside. We did it inside, and again just used our washable paints. Everything was pretty easy to clean up.

"Color was the statement of the Spring 2013 season," says Assistant Editor Phillip B. Crook, "and no show was louder than Vera Wang's crimson-hued collection." While the boundary-pushing designer offered looks in a variety of silhouettes, "this mermaid gown plays with texture in a way that's even more interesting to me than the boldness of the color. I love the how the tiny asymmetrical tiers flow down the bodice and explode into a frenzy of folds on the skirt."

Five Finger Death Punch Bring Mobile Recording Studio on Tour
Five Finger Death Punch don't waste any time. The band, enjoying a surge of success on the back of its third album 'American Capitalist,' embarks on tour after tour, leaving little time to record, right? Wrong! FFDP aren't falling victim to idle time while on the road, instead bringing mobile recording equipment on tour so they can work while traveling from city to city. It effectively ensures that good musical ideas don't get away from them. Ultimately, the rockers represent a model of efficiency.
"Right now, we've got a mobile recording studio with us on the road, writing and recording some ideas," bassist Chris Kael told Artisan News in a recent chat. "So towards the end of the year, we'll get everything rolling and bust out the next one for you guys."
The band wants to maintain its high standard of stage production so its also bringing quite a set up, in addition to toting recording equipment. They're likely traveling with quite a caravan of stuff. "We put everything we have into this," Kael said. "If you got a chance to see it on the Share the Welt tour, it was huge lights, a big production. We want you talking about it once your get out of there."
Five Finger Death Punch look to remain on the road for much of the foreseeable future. They will head out on a short run with Soulfly for a handful of weeks at the end of this month.

Call for Cities
IxDA is pleased to open the Call for Proposals for European cities interested in hosting Interaction Week 2020, which includes the annual Interaction conference, a full-day Interaction Design Education Summit, the IxDA Student Design Charette, and the Interaction Awards ceremony). Interaction Week is held in February.
Since its inception in 2008, the Interaction conference has grown to be a significant and must-attend event for design professionals interested in the practice and discipline of interaction design and related fields. The Interaction conference, which is a sell-out event each year, is envisioned and created almost entirely by passionate volunteers from local design communities. In 2016, IxDA created the Interaction Week brand to recognize the integrated nature of the activities that take place each year around the conference. This year's Interaction Week, held in Lyon, France was a tremendous success, and we're looking forward to Seattle, United States hosting a fantastic week in 2019.
Hosting Interaction Week will bring the world's interaction design community to you. It is a great way to showcase your local design community, share your city's unique voice in design, and expose local designers to the leading thinkers and practitioners in interaction design. It is also great outlet for networking and recruitment with companies from around the world gaining access to a skilled practitioner base.
Timing for Submissions
All submissions are required no later than midnight GMT 9 July 2018
Review of submissions will take place 9 July - 11 August 2018
Shortlist of locations presented to IxDA Board, 11 August 2018
Site visits of shortlisted candidates, October 2018
Final selection of location for Interaction Week 2020 will be made by 31 October 2018
The ideal host city candidate for Interaction Week will
- Have an active IxDA local group
- Feature a strong and vibrant design community, and unique contributions to the field of interaction design
- Name a conference chair and co-chair, submitted with biographies. The chair/co-chair do not need to be local, but they need to be active in field of design and present a strong vision for the Interaction Week events. (Leads for the Education Summit, Student Design Charette and Interaction Awards are selected through a separate process from the Call for Cities.)
- Partner with a local design school with a strong interaction design program to support the Interaction Design Education Summit and pre-conference workshops
- Demonstrate an engaging conference experience for ~1500 attendees, including the potential venues, a range of convenient hotels and high-level conference logistics
Conference committees and the IxDA
Hosting an international conference is a significant undertaking. The IxDA is committed to providing guidance, support and infrastructure components to ensure continuity from the previous conferences and a strong foundation for the planning team.
Submitting your city
We encourage local interaction design communities to make a case for Interaction Week to be held in their city. The detailed requirements for proposals are outlined below, along with a summary of the submission guidelines, timing, review and selection process.
Should you have any questions about the process, the requirements, or the conference itself, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. All questions relating to clarification of information surrounding this Call will be responded to publicly.
Timing for Submissions
- All submissions are required no later than midnight GMT 9 July 2018
- Review of submissions will take place 9 July – 11 August 2018
- Shortlist of locations presented to IxDA Board, 11 August
- Site visits of shortlisted candidates, August (Date tbd)
- Final selection of location for Interaction Week 2019 will be made by 24 September 2018
Each proposal will be acknowledged via email to confirm receipt within the deadline.
Selection Criteria & Submission Requirements
A successful proposal will both illustrate a vision for an engaging Interaction Week and demonstrate the ability of the team to plan and execute that vision. Some of the key elements include:
- A proposed conference chair or co-chairs and key members of the planning committee; including brief biographies for each individual
- A location that is convenient for attendees arriving internationally
- An active IxDA local group, and a strong and vibrant local design community
- Conference venues capable of seating up to 1500 people theatre-style; three smaller rooms capable of seating up to 500 people each; areas for partner booths and catering
- 8-10 rooms suitable for small sessions and workshops during the pre-conference workshop day
- A selection of hotels near to the conference venue(s) at various prices and quality to suit the range of needs of conference attendees (i.e from 3-star to 5-star accommodation). Standard room rates for Feb 2020 must be included in the proposal along with any considerations included in the room block proposed (i.e.: upgrades, commissionable rate)
- A plan for providing Internet access (wi-fi) for attendees at all conference venues and events
- A draft budget with an indication of conference rate for registration, sponsorship targets and other sources of revenue within a provided template
- A summary of the process by which the submission was created. Additionally, the proposal will outline support of the other events included in Interaction Week
- A partnership with a design school to support the Interaction Design Education Summit.
- Additional venues for Summit workshops and presentations
- Student volunteers
- Participation in Summit planning
- Logistics such as a/v and catering
- Potential venues for ancillary events such as the Interaction Awards ceremony, conference Opening Night, the Local Leaders' workshop and the IxDA Board Retreat.
Design School Partnership
In order to stay engaged with evolving approaches to design education and the most junior members of our community, the conference team will select a school or schools for partnership. The host school may provide support and planning for the Education Summit as well as logistical support, venues, student volunteers, recruitment events, etc. for the main conference.
Benefits to co-hosting the Interaction conference include
- Recruitment of your students. Many of the professionals in attendance are in Director-level positions at leading creative agencies and Fortune 500 companies, and are in a position to hire. This creates an opportune time for a recruitment event for your students. Companies recruiting at Interaction Week 2018 included Adobe, Amazon, Microsoft, as well as design consultancies such as Designit, Reaktor and R/GA.
- Research partnerships. Many companies attending Interaction Week have faculty/corporate research cooperatives and present opportunities for relationship building.
- Promotion of your higher education programs. A great number of the attendees at IxDA events seek higher education in design, business, and other disciplines; this creates an ideal opportunity to promote degrees.
IxDA will work with the chosen school to create a strong branded presence of the school's offerings at our conference; this may take the form of a workshop, a recruiting event, portfolio reviews, or other unique events intended to connect the school with the attendees in a meaningful way.
Notice of Intent & Questions
Please let us know if you are considering submitting a proposal for your city. We will provide a budget template and other resources on request, and are available to answer any questions. All questions and notices of intent should be sent to email@example.com.
Submission Format
Submissions must be web-based, and the URL link sent via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Each submission should clearly indicate the contact person for the proposal.

In atonement to Donna for pulling a Gordon on her during the last round of Hay Hay it's Donna Day, I thought I'd share a dish of hers that I really really like. It's from issue 32 (the autumn 2007 issue…a season we don't have here but that doesn't stop me) of Donna Hay magazine, part of a feature on chorizo. Now, chorizo is something I love (along with a legion of other people I'm sure) and, unlike fresh figs, rhubarb, and chanterelle mushrooms, something that I can easily get here. Aside from being perfectly delicious on its own, it is also lends itself skillfully to many dishes, giving them a smoky kick and Spanish flavor. I can simply fry them up for cocktail nibbles; they are an essential element in my fabada; I've made fried rice out of them; and I've even used them in our ubiquitous munggo guisado (mung bean stew).
This dish is a one-pan dinner combining chorizo with chicken, olives and lemon, and dusted with pimentón de la vera (Spanish smoked paprika). It is packed with flavor and dead easy to make. If you've got a nice dish it'll go straight from oven to table. Although I love this in its original state, I decided to take some liberties and change it a bit. Ok, maybe more than a bit. The whole "vibe" of it really reminded me of fabada (blame it on the chorizo and pimentón!). Also, I felt there should be something soaking up all the amazing juices that this dish renders (eau de chorizo/ pimentón/chicken/lemon/black olive…oohlala!). So I added beans…truly a magical, if at times musical, fruit 😉
Chicken, Chorizo, and Bean Bake
(adapted from Donna Hay's Smoked Paprika Chicken and Lemon Bake, Donna Hay magazine, issue 32)
- 4 pieces chicken (I used 2 drumsticks and 2 thighs)
- 1 400-gram can of white beans, drained
- 1/2 a lemon, sliced
- 1/3 cup black olives
- 1 chorizo sausage, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, bashed a bit but still in their skins
- 1 cup chicken stock
- A little less then 1/2 teaspoon pimentón de la vera
- Olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
– Place the beans on a baking dish, then pour the stock over them. Arrange the chicken pieces, lemon, olives, chorizo, and garlic over the beans. Drizzle olive oil over the whole lot. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and pimentón.
– Roast in a 200C oven for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
– Serves 2.
The original recipe has no beans and uses butter instead of olive oil (I figured olive oil was more "in-region" with the other flavors…but it could also be that the olive oil was closer to my hand at the time). I also reduced the recipe to fit our family of two. The dish was already delicious in its original form, but I think the beans definitely added something special. Plus, true to my juices-soaking plan, it was the perfect "bed" for all that flavorful liquid! This would make an ideal dinner for a rainy week night when everybody's a little too tired to cook something complicated, but still need something fortifying and yummy in their stomachs. It's been raining a lot over here and I feel the need to whip this up again (after we finish C's excellent sinampalukang manok – chicken in tamarind broth – the ultimate rainy day dish) 🙂

Just curious how many folks here went straight into kiting vs how many crossed over from some other water sport (ie wakeboarding, sailing, windsurfing etc) vs how many have just added kiting to their existing quiver of water sports.
Straight into kiting would mean you were NOT passionate and consumed by any other water sport prior to kiting, passionate to the extent you are with kite boarding. Also if you were big into some water sports but quit for some time prior to starting kite boarding.
Crossed over would mean you were big time into some water sport and pretty much dropped shortly after you started kite boarding.
Added kite boarding to your existing quiver of water sports if you're still relatively passionate
and continue playing those existing water adventures.
Just for the fun of it.
I know I know I should be out looking for work I'm getting to it.

During the Christmas holiday, our family decided not to subject ourselves to the costly and freaking-time-consuming experience that is going to the US, and instead we opted to stay closer to home: Thailand.
We were there for 10 days, and while I could sit here and recap every single thing that we experienced, I don't feel like getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome today, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to go through what would surely be the literary equivalent of looking at someone's vacation slides!
So, in order to consolidate information, I am going to briefly touch on our trip while using a popular holiday song:
On the twelve days of Christmas, the universe gave to us:
1 stomach virus that we ALL shared at one point or another during the holiday. Combine that with a hotel in which the water pressure was almost non-existant, as well as the maid service and fresh towels, and it could turn into The Stuff That Nightmare Vacations Are Made Of. Fortunately, we soldiered through.
2 ferry rides to and from Phi Phi Island. All I am going to say about that is that ferry rides sound better in theory than they are in reality. Especially with kids. Sick kids.
3 nights of eating at Gastone's, an awesome Italian restaurant that we found one block away from our hotel in Phuket. They had good food (gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce! Caprese salad!) and VERY generous pourings of wine, so needless to say that after a week of eating the same food on Phi Phi Island (and drinking the same bad chardonnay), Gastone's was like paradise.
4 sick people who took turns being miserable and bed-ridden. That is really all I am going to say about that. You're welcome.
5 hours door-to-door to any hotel in Phuket (including airport time and the taxi ride from the airport). You just cannot get better than that.
6 families reuniting. We traveled to Thailand to meet up with 5 other families, a big gang of us who all met when we lived in Doha. Some still live in Doha, some live in Vietnam, others in Jakarta and some live in Singapore. But for 11 days, it was as if we were all still back in the desert together again. Except, of course, that instead of a desert, we had a beach! A nice one, too. So, really, it was the BEST reunion possible.
I'm not going to lie, though- all of us with our two kids per family? It was like a circus parade everywhere we went. But we were back together again, so how could it possibly bother us? Bother everyone around us? Maybe. But bother us? Not in the least.
Another truth being revealed here is that we did not go ONE SINGLE meal in a restaurant without at least one panicked person saying, "Wait- where is my kid???". Those kids were fast and wily, and they ganged up on us.
7 days of vomit. Yep, between the four of us, there were only FOUR days when no one threw up at least once. Not to be boring or redundant by throwing up in...oh, say a TOILET, the list of places where our kids threw up included the middle of the bed, the breakfast table in the hotel restaurant, and in the taxi on the way to the airport.
8 episodes of "Elementary". I had to do SOMETHING while I was holed up in the hotel room with sick kids, so I caught up on this show. I had been saving the episodes for such an occasion, and I watched all eight of the episodes that I'd accumulated.
I am a HUGE fan of the BBC series "Sherlock", so I was a bit nervous about the new American version of Sherlock Holmes. All I can say it that it did not disappoint. It almost made sitting in the room while everyone else was out kayaking or romping on the beach worth it.
9 tantrums daily. So, I think that by now we all know how well Skye reacts to ANYTHING when she is at home in her usual routines, right? Well, take her OUT of those routines and throw in a new, strange place, along with a dodgy stomach and then just imagine the possibilities!
That is pretty much all I can say about that without withdrawing into some kind of toddler-induced PTSD and crawling into the corner to chew on my hair.
10 kids surrounding. All the time! See my previous explanation of the 6 families, and remember that we had AT LEAST 10 kids around us at all times.
The kids had a ball, and the parents actually got some time to relax and hang out, because there is no better babysitter than other kids. Well, with parental supervision, of course. We like to keep some semblance of responsibility.
11 pizzas eaten. You know how our kids aren't the most adventurous eaters on the planet? Well, throw in some vegetarianism and the fact that being on an island meant that every menu pretty much consisted of seafood or chicken, and the result is that they ate pretty much nothing but pizza and french fries the whole time.
Skye would try some vegetable pad thai once in a while, but as far as Kaia was concerned, if it wasn't covered in cheese or ketchup, she wasn't eating it. No, she was not.
12 My Little Ponies. That was the extent of Skye's Christmas list, so our room literally looked like a My Little Pony factory exploded and our kids looted the aftermath.
Well, that pretty much covers our trip to Thailand. So tell me, what did YOU do during your holidays?

The Navy released the AY 14-15 POL-MIL application call last month (http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/r ... V13171.txt). The program is open to IW officers (along with URLs/Intel Officers) and the packages are due in just over two weeks (23AUG). Although that seems close, it's definitely a "doable" timeline if this is your first time hearing about it (as it was for me at this time last year)
The program allows you to study for 1-2 years at a civilian university and earn your Master's Degree in either Public Administration (public sector equivalent of an MBA) or International Relations - with a payback tour doing strategic planning for the IW community. Last year when I was putting my package together, I couldn't find any information on past IW officers who had applied for/been accepted to the program -- and there seemed to be a perception among some senior officers in our community that because this was not a "technical masters," it was more geared toward Intel Officers. Luckily, I had some PHENOMENAL support from my IW/IDC/URL mentors (that urged me to put in a package) and was lucky enough to get selected. I would love to "pay it forward."
I am three weeks into the Summer Session during the one year MC/MPA program at Harvard's Kennedy School and can say definitively that this is the single most rewarding personal, professional and academic experience I have had to date. Among my 213 classmates from 68 countries around the world, we have leaders in the public and private sector varying from a CEO of a hedge fund, the Lieutenant Governor of Michigan, the Speaker of the House in Zimbabwe, the Ministers of Finance from Panama and Liberia, countless heads of NGOs, etc. The class is 65% international, which has led to some interesting discussions on leadership, foreign policy, intelligence collection, etc. Of note, the military is the most well represented contingent from the US (7 Army, 5 Navy, 2 Coast Guard, 2 Air Force and 1 Marine -- along with about 8 people who have left active duty and are using their GI Bill to attend the program).
Additionally, during the year you can pick ANY eight classes you want to AND cross register at Harvard Law or Business School, along with MIT and Tufts. Beyond the leadership, negotiation, foreign/domestic policy courses (etc) the Kennedy School is known for, I am planning to take a class in Cyber Law at the Law School and a course on Technological Innovation at MIT. For anyone not interested in Harvard, you can apply to any program that meets the strategic planning requirements (I also applied to Georgetown, Tufts, Michigan, NYU and Johns Hopkins).
This is my first post in the forum, but since this is my connection to the IW community over the next year (along with CAPT (SEL) Heritage's Blog, CAPT (RET) Lambert's Blog, Navy's Grade 36 Bureaucrat and On the Net Gang), I thought I would at least offer to help anyone that's interested. Between the essays, taking the GRE, asking for letters of recommendation, writing a resume (etc), the process of applying to get selected into the PMM program AND getting into each of the schools is incredibly time consuming AND competitive, but the payoff is DEFINITELY worth it.

Another ad focusing on a National Distilleries product, this one Mount Vernon rye whiskey.
I gotta hand it to these guys: a 100-proof rye makes a stellar Old Fashioned. I wonder what Mount Vernon tasted like?
Hi! I need a copy of this old-fashioned ad. Would you know where I could get one? Thanks!

Sharp photocopiers cater for entry level to higher end mono or colour multifunction copiers, perfect for all busy offices. Find the perfect MFP with great printing speeds, network printing, LCD touch screen, remote access interface and advanced device management profile.
Few brand names, in any industry, boast the worldwide recognisability that is enjoyed by Sharp. When people think of hardware, this name is one of the first that springs to mind and, after 101 years of ground-breaking design and manufacturing, it is easy to see why. Sharp's modern range of multifunctional photocopiers is packed with innovative models, boasting industry leading print, copy and scan specifications. When you shop at Top 4 Photocopiers, bringing one of these high performance models to your office can be achieved for a bargain price tag.
Sharp's MFDs are notable not just for their precision output but also for their stylish design. Taking the same, committed approach to aesthetics as it does to innovation, Sharp has made its multifunction devices superbly classy and muscular, ideal for sitting in a hip, modern workplace. Yet their designers were not just interested in good looks. These MFDs have been created to be as user friendly as possible too. Features like 'easy grip' handles on the paper drawers and QWERTY keyboards for data entry can be found on many of the mid-sized and large models, while the desktop systems boast ultra-intuitive, LCD operating panels.
All of this style and usability is nothing, however, if the MFDs do not deliver on output. Happily, this is an area where Sharp's devices are true industry leaders. Across the range you will find high performance multifunction photocopiers capable of tackling even the heaviest volume of printing, copying and scanning with speed and quality. Not only that, their continued commitment to data security and eco-efficiency means owning one of its MFDs is a low stress task.
Regardless of the size of your business or the type of work you do, there will be a Sharp document handling system that will suit your requirements. Whether you need colour documents, mono documents, finishing options, production printing, faxing, scanning or copying, a Sharp MFD will fit the bill.
Lowering your carbon footprint is not just good for the environment. It's also good for your budget. The less paper that you feed through your printer and the less toner you use, the lower your monthly spend on consumables will be. Also, a copier or printer with low power consumption helps to keep your energy bills under control. Sharp knows this and that's why every one of its MFDs comes with a low Typical Energy Consumption and offers features that help keep your consumable usage under control. The results are a healthier planet and a healthier bank balance.
A Sharp MFD is a great choice for a number of reasons. Here are some of them:
Here at Top 4 Photocopiers we pride ourselves on flexibility. Not only do we provide a remarkably extensive selection of document handling systems from which you can choose, we also offer a list of options for how you pay for your device. While buying outright remains the most popular choice, many UK companies prefer to either lease or rent photocopiers. This brings with it many large benefits.
When you lease, you get to spread your spending across a series of payments. This frees up money in your budget, which is terrific for a new start-up company. When cash is tight, making a number of smaller payments can be crucial to survival. Another big advantage to leasing is that it does not tie you down to a piece of hardware that might depreciate as time goes on. When your MFD is leased, you can easily upgrade as your business grows and your requirements develop.
For a company running a one-off event or looking to minimise short term costs, then renting is another good option. We offer the exact same terrific, door-to-door service to our rental customers as those that buy outright. This means more convenience for your business. Say you are organising a conference at a location away from your office and need a copier for the occasion. Rather than face the hassle of carrying your own machine to the conference site, you can simply rent one from Top 4 Photocopiers. We will deliver and install it for you and pick it up once the event is over. If you want to rent or lease a photocopier, then a Sharp machine will be a great choice.
At Top4Office you can snap up a Sharp model at a fraction of the price you will be charged if you shop with other UK dealers. We regularly set our prices as much as 80% below the recommended retail prices, ensuring you always get a great deal when you buy your hardware from us. Compare us with any other UK supplier, on the high street or the web, and you will find our prices well below theirs.
When you buy an MFD from us you also get the benefit of our famous after-sales support. Our nationwide team of expert engineers are on hand, round the clock, to ensure your machine stays running at top performance throughout ownership. For the company that wants to focus on its own development, rather than fretting about maintaining its hardware will be very happy with a Sharp multifunctional photocopier from Top 4 Photocopiers.
Call us now to get the best deal today!

Chiefs leave it late to beat Blues
Fleet-footed winger Asaeli Tikoirotuma has produced a four-try performance to help the Chiefs beat the Blues 41-34 and ensure they go into Super Rugby's June break at the top of the table.
The Blues had threatened an upset when they fought back to level the scores with 15 minutes to go.
But Tikoirotuma's final effort, when he showed plenty of gas to get to fullback Robbie Robinson's kick, proved to be the decisive moment of a pulsating contest in Auckland on Saturday night.
In the headline battle between two All Blacks midfielders, the Chiefs' Sonny Bill Williams outpointed opposite Ma'a Nonu, adding a spectacular try to a lively display at North Harbour Stadium.
The match was punctuated by three yellow cards, two in quick succession in the first half to Blues flanker Steven Luatua and Chiefs winger Maritino Nemani for lifting tackles.
Chiefs lock Michael Fitzgerald was binned in the second spell for punching when he had his jersey held, and referee Chris Pollock also referred all three incidents to a citing commissioner.
Rookie Blues centre Francis Saili scored the night's opening try when he stepped around No.10 Aaron Cruden.
But Cruden made quick amends when his well-weighted stab kick was dotted down by Tikoirotuma.
The Blues were then made to pay for losing possession when trying to run the ball out from deep in their own territory, as Williams produced a superb finish, jinking and spinning past four defenders.
With the teams reduced to 14 by yellow cards, the Blues hit back, firstly with a Munro penalty and then a converted try to the same player courtesy of a huge break by fellow winger Rene Ranger.
The Chiefs broke the 20-20 deadlock early in the second half with some good build-up work resulting in Tikoirotuma's second try.
The winger's third was the pick of his haul, coming from a length-of-the-field attack.
Fitzgerald's sinbinning led to another Blues fightback, with fullback Rudi Wulf and then Ranger both scoring - the latter with a brilliant solo effort - before Tikoirotuma produced the decisive blow.

Hernandez's attorney: Family wants to donate brain to CTE study
A day after his apparent suicide in a maximum security prison, Aaron Hernandez's body was released to a funeral home and his family wants to donate his brain to science.
Defense attorney Jose Baez said Hernandez's family wants to donate his brain to Boston University's CTE Center to advance the study on the effects of chronic traumatic encephalopathy on the body.
Baez said Hernandez's body was released by the medical examiner, but the office is "illegally" keeping possession of his brain.
"It is our position that they are holding Aaron Hernandez's brain illegally. They have released the body and withheld Aaron's brain," Baez said.
Baez said his team did not know for certain if Hernandez suffered from CTE or if it contributed to his death.
"We will accept the complete investigation and the determination after the investigation is complete. As it relates on whether it is a suicide or not, we don't make that call until everything is done," he said.
The Boston Globe reported that the former New England Patriots tight end was on the phone with his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, hours before he was found hanging in his cell early Wednesday, according to one of Hernandez's lawyers. It's not clear what they may have discussed.
Hernandez apparently killed himself by hanging himself from a bedsheet affixed to a window in his cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley. Guards found Hernandez shortly after 3 a.m. Wednesday.
Prison officials say Hernandez jammed the door to prevent officers from entering, didn't leave a suicide note and wasn't on suicide watch because he didn't appear to be at risk.
But prison officials, state police and prosecutors declined to comment further or release any records related to Hernandez's death, citing their ongoing investigation.
he Faggas Funeral Home in Watertown, Massachusetts, confirmed to the AP that it received the body but that funeral services will likely be held elsewhere for the Connecticut native.
Many other questions remain unanswered, including what's to become of Hernandez's estate and why he would kill himself just days after the he was cleared of two murder charges.
Hernandez had been serving a life sentence without parole for the 2013 slaying of a onetime friend.
During his trial in Boston for the killing of two men in Boston in 2012, Hernandez appeared upbeat, constantly backslapping his lawyers, letting out bellowing laughs and blowing kisses to his 4-year-old daughter and other family members in the audience.
The 27-year-old former University of Florida standout died five days after a jury acquitted him in those two deaths, which prosecutors alleged was precipitated by one of the men accidentally spilling a drink on Hernandez at a Boston nightclub.
The apparent suicide left friends, family and his legal team shocked and in disbelief. Many were searching for an explanation to the tragic end of a young man whose football skills at one point earned him a five-year, $40 million contract extension with the NFL's top franchise.
"There were no conversations or correspondence from Aaron to his family or legal team that would have indicated anything like this was possible," Baez said. "Aaron was looking forward to an opportunity for a second chance to prove his innocence. Those who love and care about him are heartbroken and determined to find the truth surrounding his untimely death."
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in people with a history of repetitive brain trauma, including football players.
Studies have indicated repeated brain trauma can trigger progressive degeneration of the brain tissue, with visible symptoms including memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, suicidality, Parkinsonism, and eventually progressive dementia, according to BU's CTE Center.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

East Texas School Told Not to Use Bible Verses on Football Banners
Cheerleaders in Kountze (Texas) have been told to stop putting Bible verses on banners for high school football games. The Texas Association of School Boards this week told the Kountze Independent School District that the signs are not allowed. First it was no prayer in schools, now it's no mention of Bible verses on signs. Superintendent Kevin Weldon contacted the association after the Freedom from Religion Foundation notified him that a resident complained about the signs.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a nonprofit foundation to tell the public about matters relating to non theism, and it promotes the separation between church and state.
The conservative Liberty Institute on Wednesday said banning religious speech on student-made signs is discriminatory. On the website, LibertyInstitute.org. this is what they said about the ban:
We are disappointed that Kountze ISD is banning student speech on banners because it is from a religious viewpoint. Such discrimination and censorship is unfortunate and illegal. Once we complete our investigation, we will take appropriate action."
This reminds me of Haralson County High School in Tallapoosa, Ga. Just this month the school ceased its broadcast of prayers before football games after receiving a threatening letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
After 50 years of traditional invocations before their football games, the prayers have stopped. The situation started when the school, back in September 2011, received a letter from FFRF staff council Stephanie A. Schmitt. In it, she told Haralson County Schools Superintendent Brett Stanton the district was in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
But some of the parents and students don't let the ban keep them from praying. Watch the video and then take the poll and let me know what you think.
Pay close attention to the video at :36, the man speaking was one of the people who complained about the prayer. Take a good look at his cap -- some people might think that is offensive -- just saying.

Access to finance and job growth
The recent global financial crisis has highlighted the impact of credit markets on the real economy, in particular on employment. While an extensive literature exists on how finance can affect corporate investment and overall economic growth, comparatively little is known about the effect of finance on labor market outcomes.
In a recent paper, entitled "Access to Finance and Job Growth: Firm-Level Evidence across Developing Countries" Meghana Ayyagari, Pedro Juarros, Sandeep Singh and I use comprehensive firm-level data across a large set of developing countries to analyze the impact of access to finance on job growth and the heterogeneity in this relationship across firm size.[1] In particular, we study the differential impact of access to finance on MSMEs' ability to create jobs relative to that of larger firms.

This is a plant that came with the Plumaria, it was in the same tub and I couldnt seperate it. I now think its an Oyster Plant, i'll rename when im certain.
I was surprised to see it there after weeding it out from all this crap.
This is the same plant as I have in my shaded ornamental area.
Any ideas?

She's as close to perfect as Alliance faction leaders get. There's only one problem: Malfurion Stormrage.

Hla Hla Win was first arrested on September 11, 2009, on her
way back from a DVB reporting assignment in
On October 6, a
Hla Hla Win now faces a combined 27 years in prison for her reporting activities. She joined DVB as an undercover reporter in December 2008. According to her editors she played an active role in covering various issues considered sensitive to the government, including local reaction to last year's controversial trail of detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
The military government has promised general elections this year, but has not set a specific date.
At least nine journalists were imprisoned in
Exile-run media groups told CPJ that a number of their jailed reporters preferred to remain anonymous because of fears that the authorities would extend their prison sentences if it was discovered that they had sent news, pictures, and videos to news outlets outside the country. The DVB estimated that 14 of its undercover reporters were being held in detention as of December 2009. International rights groups estimate that there are more than 2,000 political prisoners being held across the country.

Longtime Washington sports columnist Rick Snider makes a strong case once again in today's Examiner for the Washington Nationals to let Teddy Roosevelt win the presidents race.
Snider is concerned that a president "whose accomplishments have him ranked among the top five" will be branded a loser by thousands of young Nationals fans.
The latest insult, says Snider, is that Teddy Roosevelt's name is conspicuously absent from the new Nationals Park. There are Lincoln, Washington, and Jefferson suites, but "not even a Roosevelt snack bar."
I agree with Rick. Since our Teddy was a friend of the common man, let's rename the outfield bleachers the Roosevelt section. Bully, Bully!

EVGA stuck to reference cooling for their card. Note that EVGA's GeForce GTX 570 Superclocked requires two slots in your system.
Except for the sticker and clocks of course, GTX 570 Superclocked is no different than the reference. The following photo shows reference GTX 570 and GTX 580 cards. The differences in cooling are only evident when you take the cooling apart.
The following photo shows GTX 580's and GTX 570's cooler. GTX 580 is the upright one.
With help from the vapor chamber technology, the GTX 570's cooler is really quiet. Unlike the long heatpipes which transfer heat from the copper base to aluminum fins, Vapor-X chamber is a component that brings both copper-base and heatpipe functions together. The advantage is in direct contact with the GPU and a large surface of only a few millimeters thick Vapor-X chamber, which comes in place of the copper base. It then directly receives and transfers heat to the aluminum fins, maximizing heat transfer between the GPU and the rest of the heatsink.
When it comes to performance and thermals, reference dual slot cooling on the GTX 580 / GTX 570 ended up being much better compared to the GTX 480's.
The plastic hood covers the entire card and all that's visible is the blower-style fan, which exhausts hot air out the back of the system chassis.
Geforce GTX 580 and Geforce GTX 570 feature a new adaptive GPU fan control algorithm that smoothes the ramp up/down of the fan speed under load.
Nvidia added Advanced Power Management, a feature which monitors consumption and performs power capping – all to protect the graphics cards from excessive power draw and potential damage. It appears that this method is fast becoming a trend as AMD implemented a similar tech on its HD 6900 series.
When the sensors detect higher than allowed consumption (on all three 12V rails, i.e. PCI-E slot, 6-pin and 8-pin connectors), GTX 570 automatically downclocks and reverts to original clocks when the overcurrent is over.
HD 6900 series allows for monitoring of clock changes in GPUZ, but in the case of GTX 580/GTX 570 it is not so simple. Good thing about both HD 6900 series and GTX 570 is that they can enter several low-frequency states, whereas the GTX 580 can only downclock by 50%.
GTX 580/570 is the same size as Geforce GTX 480, measuring 10.5 inches or 26.7 centimeters in length. GTX 570 has two 6-pin power connectors maximum graphics card power 219W (for reference card) compared to GTX 580 which has one 6-pin and 8-pin power connector and maximum graphics card power 244W.
The video engine didn't change; it is the same as on GF100, Fermi chips. You still have maximum of two display supported, no DisplayPort, at least not on reference boards (According to NVIDIA the card also supports DisplayPort if board partners want to use it.). The Superclocked card has two dual-link DVI ports and one mini HDMI interface is HDMI 1.3a compatible. The mini HDMI cable might be bundled by partners and if not it will cost you much more than a standard full size HDMI that you use for your HD TV. EVGA included a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter cable.
Nvidia included an HDMI sound device within the GPU, so there is no need for connecting the card to your motherboard's/soundcard's SPDIF out to get audio and video via HDMI.
GTX 570 comes with two SLI connectors. This means you can combine up to four GTX 570 cards in SLI mode for improved performance or image quality settings.
The EVGA GeForce GTX 570 Superclocked uses 1280 MB video memory. The chips used are K4G10325FE-HC05 parts from Samsung.
You'll find a mini-HDMI-to-HDMI adapter in the box, as well as the large EVGA poster.

With the graphics version you can see the blocks which >the slaves return, which is quite impressive. Even more impressive (assuming 20 nodes) run 20 jobs sequentially through the MPI version and then 20 single jobs, one per node (using SGE or MOSIX, for instance) on the compute nodes in parallel. Last time I tried that with POVray the total time to complete the 20 single jobs in parallel was something like 30% less than that for the 20 parallel jobs in order. Note that it was important to render to local storage on the compute nodes (/tmp, so it never actually hit disk there) and then copy the results back to the final NFS directory. That moves data in large chunks and since the jobs tend not to finish all at the same time it does a pretty fair job of keeping the network running efficiently. In another test where each node wrote results on the fly back to the common NFS directory performance wasn't nearly so good. The network went nuts trying to handle all of the smallish packets. (Only 100BaseT, maybe less of a problem on Myrinet or 1000BaseT.) Regards, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech
