Miller case puzzles, concerns journalists
Sunday, October 2, 2005
NEW YORK -- New York Times reporter Judith Miller's decision to escape jail by testifying about her conversations with a confidential source surprised some of her supporters and left journalists wondering what her choice will mean for press freedoms.
Miller spent 85 days in jail for initially refusing to tell a grand jury whom she spoke with about Valerie Plame, a covert CIA official whose identity was leaked to several reporters in 2003.
Breaking the silence
But on Thursday she was abruptly released from prison, and a day later gave a grand jury the testimony long sought by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald.
The reason for the abrupt change: Miller said that her source, identified by the Times as Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, called her in prison and urged her to break her silence.
"This was the first time where he was saying, do it. I want you to testify," said Miller's attorney, Floyd Abrams.
News of her release from jail was greeted with joy by some of the organizations that had supported her, but also some dismay.
"Miller's release is obviously good news in itself," said the press freedom group Reporters Without Borders, "but she recovered her freedom in exchange for naming her source, albeit with the source's agreement, which means that the principle of the confidentiality of sources, one of the pillars of journalism, has been flouted."
'Dangerous territory'
Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, praised Miller for her conduct in the case, but predicted its outcome would embolden other prosecutors to investigate press leaks, jailing reporters if necessary.
"This is very dangerous territory," she said.
In deciding to testify, Miller followed a path set by Time Magazine reporter Matt Cooper, who also was threatened with jail for refusing to say who told him about Plame's identity.
Shortly before he was to report to prison, Cooper said he received permission to break his silence from his confidential source: presidential adviser Karl Rove.
Bob Steele, a journalism faculty member at the Poynter Institute, said going back to a source to seek a waiver is probably ethical, but should be avoided if possible.
The idea of confronting a source who was initially promised confidentiality and asking for permission to go public discomfited Myron Farber, a New York Times reporter who was jailed for 40 days in 1978 for refusing to turn over notes reveal sources in a murder case. He said such requests might be seen as coercive.
"It may be inoffensive in this case," he said, given Libby's position of power and savvy in dealing with the press. "But smaller people might tremble more when the reporter calls back and says, 'can you release me?'
He quickly added that he had no cause to criticize Miller, whom he said he supported completely.
"I'm in no position, or you, to tell someone who is not a criminal, who has been locked up, 'You stick it out,"' he said.
Bob Steele, a journalism faculty member at the Poynter Institute, said going back to a source to seek a waiver is probably ethical, but should be avoided if possible.
He said reporters should ideally talk to their informants about how they might respond to a future subpoena before confidentiality is granted in the first place.
"Then, going back to the source (if a problem comes up later) doesn't come out of left field," he said.

Top 5 Magical Moments in California Adventure
I've heard from so many people that California Adventure can't compete with Disneyland because the magic isn't there. I'll admit, I'm guilty of categorizing Disneyland as the more special of the two. However, I'm here to convince you that California Adventure is just as magical as Disneyland. And to prove it to you, here are my top five magical moments you can experience only at California Adventure.
#1: Meeting Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
Many people don't realize the importance Oswald the Lucky Rabbit has in Disney history. Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney created Oswald in the 1920s to be featured in their first animated series with Universal Studios. The Oswald shorts did very well, and the Disney company flourished for the first time. Just as things were looking up, Universal decided to take complete control of Oswald, and they bought the rights to the character. Devastated, Walt Disney decided to conger up another animated character, Mortimer Mouse (today known as Mickey Mouse). In 2006, Disney CEO, Bob Iger, took back the rights to Oswald from Universal. Buena Vista Street opened in California Adventure in 2012; it was added to DCA to commemorate the time Walt Disney spent in Los Angeles in the 1920s. Oswald's Filling Station on the street is a direct reference to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Starting in 2014, guests got the opportunity to meet Oswald on Buena Vista Street. After knowing that Oswald was Walt's first animated character, and knowing that Disney fought for the rights to the character, meeting him in California Adventure is truly a magical experience.
#2: Frozen—Live at the Hyperion
In May 2016, Elsa and the rest of the Frozen gang took over the Hyperion theater on Hollywood Boulevard in California Adventure (rest in peace Aladdin—A Musical Spectacular, *makes sign of the cross and cries quietly*). Frozen—Live at the Hyperion is truly a masterpiece. The theater closed for five months to prep for the new show as well as to rebuild the stage. A video wall and curtains serving as projections were added to make the show feel like a real experience. The performance in its entirety is truly magical, but the highlight of the performance is most definitely when Elsa sings the famous "Let it Go" atop a rotating ice staircase that stretches over the audience, all the while changing costumes from her coronation dress to her stunning blue sequent dress that she sports through a majority of the film. You really have to see the show for yourself to understand how magical it really is, but to get a sense for what I'm talking about, here's a video by FreshBakedDisney (my favorite Disney YouTube channel) that highlights the best parts of the show.
#3: California Screamin' at Night
California Screamin' has always been one of my favorite rides at Disneyland. When I rode Screamin' a year ago with my sister, I realized why it was one of my favorite attractions. Let me set the scene. It was about six o' clock at night (my family was gracious enough to let us ride it even though our reservation for dinner was at the same time; we ended up being about an hour late). The wait time for Screamin' was about 45 minutes, and knowing that the line normally moves quickly, we hopped in the queue. It did move quickly, but we were ready to ride it when we finally got to the front. I asked the cast member if we could have the front seats (they'll always let you ride in the front if you ask), and we boarded the car. We lowered the safety restraints over ourselves and exchanged excited looks. Then, a cast member came over the intercom, "Ladies and gentleman, we seem to be experiencing technical difficulties. Please remain seated." So there we sat, patiently (maybe a little impatiently) waiting to finally ride Screamin'. All the while, we listened to the jokes the cast members were telling each other. After waiting for about fifteen minutes and after the cast members had exhausted all of their jokes, the nostalgic Screamin' music started playing from the speakers, and the car finally started moving down the track towards the launch pad. In the time that we'd been waiting in the loading area, the last rays of sun had descended. It was pitch black, except for the colorful fairy lights lining Toy Story Midway Mania, the changing neon colors illuminating Mickey's Fun Wheel, and the bright lights outlining Silly Symphony Swings and the Golden Zephyr. It was a sight to behold. My sister and I held our breaths as Neil Patrick Harris counted down 5…4…3…2…1! A blast of cool air smacked my face, and we were shot through the first scream tube. From that moment on, a smile remained plastered to my face. To date, that was one of my most magical California Adventure experiences. Riding in the front of California Screamin' is magical just in itself; then add to the fact that we had a perfect view of Paradise Pier illuminated at night, and it was truly an experience that I will never forget.
#4: The Animation Building
Okay, if you've never been inside the Animation Building, what are you doing with your life? Seriously, the Animation Building is a gift from God himself. If you didn't already know, the building is on Hollywood Boulevard across from Schmoozies (they have the best mocha frappes). There are many activities held at the animation building including: Sorcerer's Workshop, Turtle Talk with Crush, and Animation Academy. Although the activities are wonderful, the magical experience comes from just standing in the center of the lobby area. Think I'm crazy? Watch this video by FreshBakedDisney, and then you'll know what I'm talking about. I like to spend my afternoons relaxing in the Animation Academy. I sit on the ground, looking up in awe at the huge screens surrounding me, watching Neverland, Arendale, and Radiator Springs come to life before my eyes. Last time I was here, I watched a father dancing around the room with his young daughter to the Disney music playing in the background. They were in their own world, caught in the moment, and that's why the Animation Building is magical: because it makes people lose track of time.
#5: Neon Lights in Cars Land
Route 66 is a HUGE part of my life. My dad grew up on Route 66 (His parents owned motels on Route 66 in its heyday), and since then, my dad has instilled in me the history and importance of the road. I live in a place where the highway is just as popular as it was in its heyday, and I've traveled on the longest stretch of Route 66 left in existence on numerous occasions during my parent's Corvette tours. I realize that Route 66 is extremely important in American history, and I have immense respect for The Mother Road. So when Disney announced they were going to be building Cars Land, I lost it. And when I visited Cars Land for the first time, I lost it all over again. The land looks exactly like the road I've traveled on my parent's Corvette tours. It wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered (while watching FreshBakedDisney) that Cars Land has a lighting ceremony every night at dusk. So, when my family visited Disneyland last year, I made them wait in Cars Land with me for twenty minutes before dusk so we wouldn't miss the ceremony (we were late to our reservation again, but it was worth it). Then, it happened. Sh-Boom (Life Could Be a Dream) started playing from the speakers. Halfway into the song, the neon lights started turning on in tune to the music: there was the bright orange lights of the Cozy Cone Motel and the vibrant blue lights of Flo's V8 Café. My family was standing at the start of the road, so we saw the whole street come to life. It was more magical than I could have ever imagined. My dad always told me how special it was when the neon lights would come on at night on Route 66. I always wished that I could go back in time to see Route 66 in its heyday, when neon lights were all the rage. At Disneyland, I got my wish, and I saw Route 66 as my dad did so long ago.

Hard Money Bridge Loans
For Commercial Property / Loans From $1,000,000 to $100,000,000 / Maximum Loan To Value 50% for Land and 65% for Other Kinds of Property / Flexible Terms Up to Three Years / Average Closing Time Is Two Weeks After Approval of Paperwork
A bridge loan is used for financing a commercial property for a short period of time, up to three years, between the initial requirement for funds and a future permanent financial solution. Bridge loans collateralized by real estate are also known as hard money loans. Hard money refers to money that is lent based more on the hard value, or quick sale value of real estate, than on the borrower's financial statement.
Hard money bridge loans can be used by a real estate developer to take advantage of opportunities to purchase or refinance commercial properties that don't meet bank standards. If a borrower doesn't have time to wait on the slow process of working with a bank, the flexibility and speed of a hard money bridge loan can offer a fast solution to his financing problems. A hard money bridge loan can often be funded in just two weeks after a completed loan package has been submitted and approved.
Hard money bridge loans are available for commercial projects only. The maximum loan to value allowed is 50% on land, and 65% on other kinds of property. In addition, when applying for a hard money loan, a borrower is required to have a minimum of 20% cash or equity invested in a project.
Land projects can not be collateralized with other land, but can be collateralized with other kinds of commercial property.
Business Buyout/Purchases
Hard money funding can be used as leverage to purchase an existing company. Documentation is required to show all costs, plus profits, expected income, etc. that will be used to repay the loan.
Construction Pay Off Loans
If a developer has a construction project that is at least 80% completed, he might be able to qualify for a hard money bridge loan to pay off the construction lender and complete the project. A hard money loan can be used to bridge the gap between a completed project, and standard funding from banks or other traditional lenders. A developer can use a finished project, or a portion of a finished project, as collateral to raise capital for another project.
Refinancing Commercial Property
Using equity, from real estate already owned as collateral for a new hard money bridge loan, can be a quick way of generating additional working capital to refinance a commercial property. After all paper work has been submitted, a new hard money loan can be funded in just two weeks.
Preventing Foreclosures
A hard money bridge loan can be used to prevent forclosure on a commercial property. This kind of hard money loan can work for a property the developer already holds in inventory, or for a new property that is about to be purchased. A pending foreclosure can be stopped if a property can be collateralized for 50-65% of its loan to value, and if the developer has capital (cash or equity) for the difference between the LTV, and the quick sale value of the property.
Foreign National Mortgage Loans
This kind of hard money loan is for foreign investors who want to purchase commercial real estate located in the United States. Many different kinds of property can be considered for hard money funding, including; commercial, industrial, residential, hospitality, rehabs, etc.
Property Purchases
Hard money bridge loans can be used to purchase real estate if borrowers do not meet bank standards, or do not have time to wait for traditional lenders to slowly work through the lending process. Often when purchasing property there are problems that banks don't like--low credit scores, an incomplete construction project, a damaged building, etc. Hard money funding can be used to quickly work around these financing problems.
Real Estate Investors
A real estate investor can use a hard money bridge loan to solve cash flow problems. If investment opportunities are available, but the cash to fund acquisitions, rehabs, etc. is not available, the opportunity to make a profit will be missed. A fast hard money loan can often make the difference between whether or not a project can be financed. In addition, a hard money loan can provide the capital needed to quickly fund the purchase of a replacement property to complete a 1031 exchange.
Rehab Hard Money Loans
A rehabber can use a hard money loan for short term financing, until a property has been renovated and sold for a profit. The average closing time for an approved loan is just two weeks, affording the rehabber a very fast turnaround time.
See the Examples of Hard Money Loans page to learn more about hard money funding.
Real estate developers interested in applying for a hard money loan should read the Guide to Applying for a Hard Money Loan, and then complete the Hard Money / Land Acquisition and Development Application.

The New Year is a time when folks put their best foot forward. No reason the city can't do the same. Here's what some people would like to see the city do in 2013.
"Put in sidewalks on Coast Highway from one end of town to the other," urged former Mayor Cheryl Kinsman, a South Laguna resident.
She has been lobbying for this since she was on the Planning Commission before being elected to the City Council in 2000.
Chamber of Commerce President Michael Kinsman had two recommendations: "I would like the city to institute more trams throughout the year. It would be good for business, good for residents and help solve our traffic problems. Secondly, the city needs to ease up on our display ordinance."
Michael Kinsman said the current ordinance hampers local retailers and other small businesses that need appropriate outdoor displays to be more effective.
"Reduce water usage," tops the wish list of Laguna Beach County Water District General Manager Renae Hinchey.
Water district Commissioner Marv Johnson wishes the city would find a huge fresh-water aquifer under the town that would solve our water problems for all time.
"Do the Village Entrance and implement a viable public transit system with smaller buses halfway between a van and the ones now in use," architect Morris Skenderian said. "This is a mantra that has been going on a long time."
"Complete the Village Entrance," said former Mayor Kathleen Blackburn, who was on the council when moving the city's maintenance yard was first suggested.
Mayor Pro Tem Elizabeth Pearson said she'd be happy if the council would just approve a concept for the Village Entrance.
"I'd like the city to actually focus on moving forward on the Village Entrance so it doesn't get kicked to the curb," said Terry Smith, former Arts Commissioner and Laguna College of Art & Design trustee.
Mystic Hills resident Sandy Hovanesian wants the city to deal realistically with landscaping the Village Entrance.
"It doesn't need anything else," she said.
Landscape architect Bob Borthwick would like to see Laguna Canyon and the creek more beautiful and more appreciated by everyone for its value to the city.
"Make the downtown more of a village," said Margaret Warder, a school district employee and the Laguna Beach Woman's Club property manager. "Keep the lights on trees, but in the canopies, like you see in European towns."
Laguna Playhouse Executive Director Karen Wood thinks the city should increase signage and expand the profile of the Downtown Art District.
South Laguna Civic Assn. President Bill Rihn said he couldn't think of a recommendation because the group is so focused on the community garden and how to raise money to buy the property that locals have tilled for three years as a labor of love.
"Stay healthy and pretty — no sewer spills," advised former Mayor Jane Egly.
Matt Lawson, who lives in Diamond Crestview, wants the city to focus more on disaster preparedness and public safety.
"I would like to see the council continue to communicate well with each other, respect the city budget and keep their hands off the reserve," said "Uncle" Frank Ricchiazzi.
The city's General Fund has a mandated 10% reserve, into which the council can only dip with four or more votes.
Councilwoman Toni Iseman said the city should start working on improving all major arterials.
Former county Chief of Harbors, Parks and Beaches Eric Jessen, a South Laguna resident, recommended that the city update the Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan.
"Solve the parking," said former Laguna Beach Seniors Inc. President Pauline Walpin. "Neighborhoods take a terrible hit in the summers by the lack thereof."
Parked cars impede traffic, said Laguna Community Band founder Carol Reynolds.
"Get rid of them," she said.
Nancy Perlman said getting rid of some of the parking meters would be a move in the right direction and the city should also consider putting in a skateboard park at Lang Park.
"We already have a skateboard park — it's called Oak Street," said Ann Wood, who recommended leaving Glenneyre Street alone.
Penny King urged the city to do a better job with skateboarders on public streets.
"Forget bike lanes anywhere except on Coast Highway," said Martha Lydick, president of the Laguna Beach Friends of the Library and Laguna Beach Republicans.
"Cull the deadwood from the city's historical structures inventory so we have this wonderful selection of buildings of which we can be proud," said city Heritage Committee member Jon Madison, owner of Madison Square and Garden Café. "It will make the whole process work better and people will know up front what they can and cannot do with historical properties."
Francine Scinto would like the city to look into planting medians on the highway.
"I'm sort of satisfied with the way things are," said Richard Challis, father of Pageant of the Masters Director Diane Challis Davy.
Past Laguna Beach Woman's Club President Marsha Bode wants the city to concentrate on its natural resources and lend more support to the Hortense Miller Garden.
"I'd like to see the city attack problems by bringing in experts to help us solve seemingly intractable problems," Planning Commissioner Norm Grossman said.
"Continue to make real progress on sustainability," said former City Councilwoman Verna Rollinger.
"Pass a good, solid view ordinance for the citizens of Laguna Beach," said Mayor Kelly Boyd.
As for this reporter: I want the city to continue to be the most fun to cover of any other city in Southern California.
Every time I sit down to write a story I give thanks for the residents, business and professional people, the artists and artisans, the nonprofits and the city officials and staff, the quirks and compassion, the history and even the topography that make my job so interesting and fulfilling.
OUR LAGUNA is a regular feature of the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot. Contributions are welcomed. Call (714) 966-4618 or email email@example.com with Attn. Barbara Diamond in the subject line.

The evolution of the commuting network in Germany: Spatial and connectivity patterns
The analysis of the structure and evolution of complex networks has recently received considerable attention. Although research on networks originated in mathematical studies dating back to the nineteenth century (or earlier), and developed further in the mid-twentieth century with contributions to graph theory, interest in its application to the social sciences is currently growing---particularly in regional science and transportation, because of the spatial relevance of networks. This paper presents a dynamic outlook for the German commuting network from the perspective of the German labor market districts. The focus of this paper is to explore how the German commuting network evolves, from two perspectives: space and connectivity. We consider home-to-work commuters moving between 439 German districts for the years 1995 and 2005. The results of the present analysis make it possible to identify, among the main German districts, the most "open" and connected ones. These emerging districts can be considered as potential "hubs" in the German commuting system---that is, as attractors from the perspective of spatial economics, and as interconnectors from the perspective of networking.

Nonfiction: Creative Life
The painter, photographer, and writer, Deborah DeWit Marchant, came into my life in 2003 through her book Traveling Light: Chasing an Illuminated Life. Ms. Marchant tells her story using both photographs and text, showing how the quality of light shines on everything we see; and how, in its infinite variations, it illuminates our world with a metaphysical quality, an unknowable mystery.
The ethereal quality of "light" also permeates Ms. Marchant's new book, In the Presence of Books, a compilation of fifty-six paintings. As the title promises, books (at least one) are present in every painting and every painting offers an allegory. The books in her paintings lie wide open or closed, their pages flat, their corners sometimes curled, sometimes fluttering as though sending a message, the letters of language floating in the air we breathe.
One painting shows a book, its pages face down on the rumpled bedsheet and pillow of a large inviting bed. I can envision the reader eager to return, to take up where she left off, to reflect before she sleeps. Books lie on tables, on chairs, beside coffee cups, and eyeglasses, in rooms that say: a reader lives here. Books are omnipresent: in the sunlight of day, indoors and out, in the soulful hours of night. I especially love a painting in which two people are seated opposite one another, each engrossed in a book, legs stretched out on the same ottoman, a fire roaring—a touching reminder that books enrich not only our solitude but our companionship as well. Another book rests in a tree, whispering its connection to its roots and branches.
Books, these paintings tell me, reveal the interrelatedness of Everything, the internal and the external. The paintings offer books as the key to mystery: the mystery of our humanness, the mystery of light, of night, the mystery of nature, of relationship, the mystery of language itself. Books are cherished in these paintings, possessing the potential for journeys to a vast unknown. Each painting might be called "An Ode to the Book;" books are indeed sacred artifacts.
Writing too is a major theme in this collection. As one who loves to write, my fingers can feel the luxurious quality of the writing paper lying on a desk, the stylish beauty of the pen poised to write, the potential thoughts of the writer—all connected to the beauty of sky, birds, and trees; the moods of seasons and time. The words inside of us and outside of us are waiting to be made real, whether we write them, read them or dream them.
This reviewer greatly values books, and rarely leaves the house without one tucked under her arm. They are my source of learning about the world and about myself, my opportunity to laugh and cry. I savor every painting in this collection. Ms. Marchant paints the world of books with her rich imagination and indisputable skill as an artist.
Born in 1956, Deborah DeWit Marchant is a fifth generation artist, a descendant of Dutch illustrators and paintings. She is also the author of Traveling Light: Chasing An Illuminated Life, a photo-illustrated written chronicle of her young years as a photographer and developing artist. Deborah and her husband Robert live with their three cats in an old red house in a suburb of Portland, Oregon.

Here's a pretty crappy iPhone pic of my Reclamations scarf. It's just barely blocking on the top of my fridge. I say just barely because the scarf is a little too long for the fridge so I didn't get to stretch it like I would have liked.
I used Artyarns Ultramerino 8 and size 10 needles. Two hanks of the yarn was bought a couple years ago and I made my first Foliage hat with it and have just been saving the other hank for something pretty. I can't wait to weave in my two ends and wear this beauty. It was so simple and quick and now that I think about it, I should have just used the leftover yarn from the other hank to make it bigger, but that's okay. Maybe that extra yarn will be worked into a blanket of some kind in the future.
There is still one lone skein of silk that I got on sale two superbowl sales ago. Maybe another scarf is in order...?
Blogged from my iPhone--sorry for any typos. :)
eta: The rest of my post that got lost during transit. WTF?

Many consider the boosting of a person's self-esteem as the ultimate good, so what do we make of this article reporting on a recent study showing that self-esteem is more intensely boosted when we refuse to apologize for something we have done wrong compared to when we do apologize?
In what might otherwise have been a depressing read, there is the admission that further study is needed into the long term effects of these choices for, whilst in the short term subjects felt "better" (whatever that means), in the long term who knows what the consequences of those choices would be...
Reading this reminded me of Lamech (Gen 4:23-24). Self-justification may become all the rage - if it isn't already - in the world of psychotherapy. But there are few things more odious to God than a self-justifying and haughty spirit, (Prov. 6:16-17 by contrast with Isa. 66:2).

Eish. We have a problem. Leftists or liberals like the Creator do not really know how to do the moral thang. Morality is absolute and leftism pretends to be relativist. It is not — leftists can do the categorical imperative with the best of them (you take a Kant to the left, you take a Hegel to the right, you do the Wittgenstein and you set it all alight). But we love to be adaptable, to change with time. O Lordie, times have changed.
Let us consider the case Nkola Motata v. RSA, a High Court Judge in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court. Should it be allowed even to happen? Should we not find a political solution to the matter?
A High Court Judge, in the middle of the night, drove through somebody's garden wall in Johannesburg. It was in a cul-de-sac. There is no excuse for crashing your car in this way unless there is something wrong with you. The owner of the wall was peeved. He brought his cellphone out and recorded Motata's ravings, which sounded drunken. The Johannesburg Metro Police eventually arrested Motata. The South African Police Service locked Motata up and arranged the blood-alcohol tests. Which showed — although taken hours after the crash — nearly three times the legal alcohol limit for driving. Not, seemingly, much to discuss there.
The Creator does not have much use for High Court Judges — they are too flabby to employ for manual labour, too moist to burn as fuel, and their underdeveloped nervous systems disqualify them from intellectual work. But we are told that High Court Judges have integrity and thus must be preserved, like white rhinoes albeit less dignified or attractive-looking. A High Court Judge who drives drunk is not a good example for the fraternity, surely. Dare we question his judgement?
Judge Motata's lawyer claimed that the Judge was a victim of a huge conspiracy. This is the Zuma defence which has become popular in recent times as an all-purpose excuse for not facing any kind of music. The lawyer demanded that the cellphone recording be repudiated as evidence because it had been doctored in order not only to make his client's voice sound slurred, but to insert shouted threats and insults, just as if the Judge were drunk and had a car accident.
The guy with the garden wall submitted his cellphone to the SAPS, but they had, er, lost the evidence. (Surprise, surprise.) Big surprise for the police; before he submitted his cellphone to them he downloaded the voice recording onto his computer. Judge Motata's lawyer claimed, therefore, that this man must have doctored his recording to make the Judge look bad. How the Judge had known to crash his car into the wall of someone likely to conspire against him went unexplained. Anyway, the magistrate threw all this balderdash out and admitted the cellphone recording. The Creator would have slapped the handcuffs on right there and then.
But you can't do that with a rich and powerful person. You have to spin things out, hoping that something might save them from the consequences of their criminal behaviour, as with our ware Jacob. Things get postponed for a week, a month, or longer, while a man who may be not only a drunk, but also a liar, carries on determining the fate of people in the Johannesburg High Court, a place where little justice exists.) Eventually, a female Metro Police officer, Ms. Mashilela, proclaimed that Judge Motata had been abusive and sexist (refusing to be arrested by a woman) and judging by the way he moved and talked, obviously drunk. Court adjourned.
Court reconvened much later when Ms. Mashilela had suddenly remembered that she couldn't quite recall any sign that Judge Motata had been drunk. She said she had been threatened with losing her job and being sent to jail, by the prosecutor, unless she gave false testimony that Judge Motata had been drunk. But, said the prosecutor, what about the written evidence you submitted after the incident, which your verbal evidence confirmed? Oh, she said, I never gave such evidence, it was made up for me by other officers.
It's all a conspiracy, you see. Motata's lawyer then claimed that the householder had uttered a racist epithet right before turning on his cellphone. In the middle of the night, dealing with an abusive drunk who has knocked down your wall, you know when to record and when not to record. Obviously he was already part of the conspiracy even before the Judge was hauled off to the slammer.
At this point the general public could take no more bullshit from the obviously corrupt Judge Motata and, bursting through the cordons, seized flogged him with copper cables through the streets of Johannesburg (lined with cheering crowds) all the way to Library Gardens, where his blood-soaked frame was hanged from a lamp-post, limbs jerking spasmodically for fifteen minutes before he finally went as slack as his moral fibre.
No, the previous paragraph is unfortunately a lie. (However, the judge failed to buy off the other witness, who gave testified that Judge Motata was drunk and disorderly — strong evidence that Ms. Mashilela is a perjurer.) Obviously Judge Motata is unfit for office; this is no longer an issue. The question is how many High Court Judges are equally corrupt. Probably, plenty, which is worrying. One expects that some legal officers will be crooks, but High Courts are supposed to have some kind of screening process. Apparently this has broken down. Or maybe it never existed.
Definitely a need for moral regeneration here.
Skip sixteen hundred kilometres to Cape Town, to a Conference on HIV Vaccines. The Creator does not have much time for HIV vaccines. This is because HIV, like the rhinoviruses which cause colds, is a rapidly-mutating virus. There are huge numbers of strains, each needing a separate vaccine, and new ones evolve each month. In short, HIV vaccine faces the same problem as 'flu vaccine — only worse, because once you have HIV your immune system can't get rid of it the way it can get rid of a rhinovirus — HIV can lie dormant in your DNA where your immune system can't reach it.
So HIV vaccines are a medical scam of sorts — maybe worthily intended, but a scam anyway. The idea is to invent a cheap snake-oil to sell to entire populations — quick, everybody, inoculate your children against this breed of HIV! Now inoculate them against that breed of HIV, and the other one! Billions of bucks for the makers of the vaccine, not so much for the fight against HIV/AIDS.
What upsets the Creator is that the people planning this scam spend so much time praising themselves for doing it. And being praised by the medical fraternity and the journalistic fraternity. It reminds one of a few months ago when everybody was praising bankers as the perfect stewards of our worldly wealth. We won't hear that one for a while, but we will continue to hear praise for the AIDS researchers, because everybody who dies of AIDS is seen as a martyr not to the misconduct of the medical industry, but rather to the failure of the rest of us to give the medical industry more money. (So much money has been poured into AIDS research and so little has come out of it; a cynic might wonder if the people who make money out of the existence of the disease really want to eradicate it.)
But the misconduct of a single industry is not so important. We could deal with that industry. We could force it to spend its money sensibly, we could focus our money on functioning drugs, we could prevent the spread of the disease by all kinds of easy and cheap methods. We don't do that, because of the people who appeared before the Conference to sing hosannas to their glorious medical masters.
One was Malepaguru William Makgoba. Dr. Makgoba was a neurologist, apparently a good one, and since the Creator's partner has neurological problems the Creator thinks well of neurologists. But Dr. Makgoba decided to become Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Wits University instead of practising, and it seems he told a few little white lies in his CV to massage his way into the job. When he turned out to be a blustering bully, some senior Wits academics exposed those little white lies, whereupon Dr. Makgoba went through their confidential files and publicised anything damaging he could find. So he was sacked.
But you can't keep a bad man down, and Dr. Makgoba was promoted, with the approval of Mbeki's ANC, to head the Medical Research Council, where he took a strong stand in support of antiretrovirals, delivering so many statements about epidemiology and virology that some people thought he was qualified in either discipline. He was extremely popular with those people who claimed that Mbeki was an AIDS denialist. When he finished his term, he was appointed, with the approval of Mbeki's ANC, to head the newly-merged University of KwaZulu-Natal, where by all accounts he has fulfilled the promise of bombastic tyranny which he had shown at Wits, and incidentally has also come out strongly in support of Jacob Zuma. In short, not a nice man.
This figure who should be universally despised stands up before the Conference and announces that at last he is free to say that HIV causes AIDS. After all those years of being prevented by the evil previous government, he is free! Hooray! The audience gave him a standing ovation, a corporate endorsement of the rise of Jacob Zuma to the control of the South African state.
But — the Creator speaks for the overwhelming majority of sane people — even those with neurological disorders — by saying, "What the fuck is he talking about?". The AIDS policy of the South African government since the early 1980s has focussed on HIV as the transmission vector for AIDS. After 1994 the disease was taken much more seriously, particularly brought into the public eye by Thabo Mbeki. At first all that was done (apart from prevention campaigns) was to promote immune-system boosters and to talk (but not act) about how poverty encourages the spread of HIV/AIDS, but eventually free antiretrovirals became available for AIDS sufferers. Makgoba lied when he says that he was previously forbidden to talk about the link between the virus and the disease. Of course, if he had been held in low esteem because of his remarks being used by anti-Mbeki propagandists, he would not have got the plum job of UKZN Vice-Chancellor.
He was probably being cheered because the previous government was critical of pharmaceutical companies, but he was also lying about the previous government's political record, and stabbing the man who promoted his own political rise in the back.
Not much evidence of any kind of morality there, colleagues.
Another speaker was the Honourable Barbara Hogan. Hogan was a white member of MK back when it was not fashionable to be in MK, in the early 1980s. She was not competent member — she was caught rather easily and jailed — but it took gumption to do what she did. Good for her. However, as the record of Tony Yengeni and Jessie Duarte shows, this does not say whether you are any good at any particular job. Hogan became Health Minister after the Zuma purge which followed Mbeki's removal. Yet another woman in the job — but the ANC seems more respectful towards whites or coloureds or indians in the Cabinet than africans. So maybe Hogan has some standing and can do well.
But probably not. The Creator suspects this because, in addition to chiming in with Makgoba about how HIV causes AIDS as if this were something new and not a product of the right-wing press which taken up by corporate propagandists posing as "civil society organisations", she did something else. She talked about how South Africa needs an HIV vaccine.
South Africa would need an HIV vaccine, just as every other country needs an HIV vaccine, if one existed and if such were possible. But no such vaccine exists nor is in the pipeline, and is probably not possible as a "magic bullet" (the way it is sold to the public). South Africa does not need an HIV vaccine which purports to help but is really a way of prising money out of the public purse and stuffing it into private pockets. We don't need Barbara Hogan to say that we should give more money to foreign big business. (Did the Creator mention that Barbara Hogan is a loyal member of the SACP, and therefore naturally in favour of giving more money to capitalists? Didn't think so.)
No, Cde Hogan, it is not your job to waffle about how South Africa needs an AIDS vaccine. It is your job to improve our health-care system. You could, for example, try to improve the rural clinic system without which antiretroviral provision is a desperate gamble on overstretched local medical staff. You could try to implement some of the splendid policies which your Department possesses; you could try to make the hospital staff do the work for which they are paid. The fact that you prefer to go off on junkets so that corporate representatives can clap when you praise them is an indictment of your performance. (Even though the Mail and Guardian declared that Cde Hogan's corporate boot-licking proved that she should be Minister of Health forever — but we already knew the Mail and Guardian's position.)
To knowingly tell lies is immoral. To mislead the public in order that they may do things which are probably not to their benefit is immoral. To betray your friends and allies is immoral. To endorse plans which take money away from the poor and give it to the rich is immoral, and to do so in the name of equality and democracy is doubly immoral.
The Creator is studying the Q'uran, the Torah and the Bible, but on the whole, the words of great Zoroaster stand; we must obey the light of Ahura Mazda and reject the Kingdom of the Lie; on that incandescent rock the Creator would like to build a modest church.

|This incident certain created an uproar in the poker community that will echo through for many weeks to come. Now looking beyond on how morally right we individuals think it is or who gives the most sensible opinions here, the most crucial thing that will have long lasting impact on the poker community is the judgement pass down on this case.
I think Afternoon had been trying to emphasis this point. If anyone of you know some basic structure of the English common law system in Singapore, you will know that there is something call "Case Law" that is effective in our law jurisdication. Meaning how this case is handled will lay a standard or basis of how future such cases will be handled. If they are found not guilty or let of with no jail terms etc, it will be really good, cos in future lawyers and judge must take into consideration of how past judgement is make on similar cases. It's like shaping the law base on how each case is being judged.
Given the previous widely known case, at least to the poker community, on what constitutes an illegal gaming house, the word "habitually" and "primarily" use for gaming must be proven. Refer to this paragraph from a previous case (http://www.bluegatepoker.com/ispokerlegal.html).
For premises to be "habitually" used for gaming within the second limb of the definition, it was not enough for the gaming sessions to be frequent. To be a common gaming house, the premises must have been kept primarily for gaming. This was prima facie not the case here. Both companies on the premises were live and substantial companies and had been carrying on business at the premises for about 20 years, and the businesses were genuine and not just a façade for a common gaming house.
Base on case law, I will say that those under prosecution now is not likely to face any harsh sentances. It is not like they are operating an gambling syndicate, although the part on raking will be more touchy. Its young typical adults that frequent players like us know the kind of people they are. I hold an optimistic prediction of the outcome of this case. It might actually turn around and have it's positive effects cos the grey areas that so many of us here are debating about will be put upfront in the limelight to be trash and sort out by the law.

I heard it through the grapevine Eugene 'Gene' Conti is amused by this blog. Cool. Now, if Gene Conti would be so kind as to return the favor and amuse me for a bit, I'd appreciate it. I just have a few questions. Some, I think I know the answers too, some I don't, and pardon the STUPID ones, when you're out of the LOOP, sometimes things just don't make sense, so I may need HELP connecting the dots and filling in the blanks.
Here goes, in no particular order:
1) With the exception of selling 'land' which Palo Verde owned in back of the resort, have you EVER made money from ACTUALLY managing Palo Verde Resort, you know, from the tourist dollar? Has Larry Bernstein? If not, why?
2) Palo Verde Resort has been in existence for 6 or so years, how long did it take before you realized Palo Verde was a losing proposition.... on paper anyway?
3) You wrote me an email back in March of '08 which stated Palo Verde owed you over $100,000.00 (this was when you were working on the bank loan to infuse Palo Verde with CASH ) and if I'm not mistaken, Palo Verde owes Larry Bernstein a considerable sum as well (or did anyway), I'm sorry, why did you continue to sink "YOUR OWN" as well as other peoples money into a bottomless pit with seemingly no apparent benefit or positive outcome for anyone? *wink* AND then procure a bank loan to do MORE of the same when the writing had been on the WALL for such a long time?
4) You obviously got the loan because your last email to me (2 weeks ago) said you "hadn't paid the bank since May of '09", what happened, if you got a loan in March/April/or May of '08 how in the HELL did you GO through so much money (not sure how much).... perhaps didn't budget correctly? Damn Gene are you really that BAD with money or are their a few things I don't know? Why did so many people say that Palo Verde rooms 'were' run down (even on TripAdvisor) and overall maintenance was lacking if said bank loan was for upgrades, maintenance, repairs and marketing and only a year has passed, why did Bobby Blair have to come in and 'remodel'?
5) Was the loan actually to pay you OFF because you were using your own money for the above reasons... just asking?
6) When you built the big ass pool, did you realize you wouldn't actually be able to swim in it?
7) Did you and Larry tell me you would pay monies owed me ($6,394.00) when land was SOLD which Palo Verde owned?
8) Did you or did you not SELL said land? What happened to my money?
9) How could Palo Verde Resort's foreclosure be imminent if Bobby Blair came to the rescue, I'm assuming he put up a deposit? He wouldn't actually take over a property that owes the bank and could be foreclosed on would he? Wouldn't the deposit be used to pay off the bank? Does Palo Verde Resort still owe you $100,000.00... or more? I think I deserve (as part owner) to know the terms of the DEAL between YOU and Bobby Blair of Arenal Bungalows.
10) How much will you and/or Larry receive off the top if Bobby Blair is successful in his bid to FLIP Arenal Bungalows aka Palo Verde Resort before we actually split the money between the Palo Verde partners? and what about the 'bank not being paid' since May of '09, if in fact it hasn't been paid?
So let me get this straight, Palo Verde Resort has NOT made money for 6 years, and over those years you USE your own money, and that of investors such as Larry and myself merely to keep Palo Verde AFLOAT? Then you get a bank loan because Palo Verde needs a transfusion yet again and in the mean time you build a house of your own (I here it's nice), take various trips around the United States with various 'boyfriends' over the years, stay at luxury suites such as the Bellagio in Vegas AND your general manager drives around in a really NICE vehicle that he could NEVER afford on his own...... HEY, it true..... just sayin, and now you tell me "foreclosure is imminent" and of course, Palo Verde owes YOU money? Please, I'm beggin, tell me where I'm wrong, help me connect the dots in logical fashion... if I'm wrong, please, EDUCATE ME.. fill in the blanks. I'll apologize on this blog for any speculation or opinions I may have wrong.
It almost sounds like you may have inter-mingled Palo Verde money with Gene Conti money, "No, that can't be true, can it?
Oh, and the most AMUSING question of all, so I saved it for last, "Does Arenal Bungalows use the same 'filing' system Palo Verde utilized when customers PAY for their STAY?" Cause REALLY,,, it makes everything seem so INACCURATE, don't you think? Did I write that out LOUD?
Feel FREE to answer and set me straight- I won't EDIT a thing.

David has been traveling nonstop for work (weekends too), so I've been flying solo for a while. I won't pretend to understand the struggle of single parents, but still -- it's hard not to be able to clock out.
|Packing is my specialty...
Speaking of which -- I haven't even told you where I'm going! It's true, I'm off to Scotland for a bit, but I'm making a detour first. Maybe I'll send you a postcard if you guess...
I must brag again about my packing skills though. I've got everything for the two of us for a month crammed into a single carry-on suitcase -- no vacuum bags even necessary. And I even had room to bring a few gifts for a friend. What I obviously am not able to brag about, however, is my ability to write a super helpful blog about how to pack for a month in Europe for just you and a toddler in one carry-on. It's a long flight, though, so I'll get back to you.
For now, here's my #2 packing tip: Always bring a swimsuit.
(Number one is, of course: all you need is a passport and a credit card.)
P.S. I have about ten housesitters staying at my house, so don't even think about stealing my mail!

EVE & Melanie Price Part Ways
October 3, 2010 · 0 Comments
Pro-Wrestling:EVE and Melanie Conneely AKA Melanie Price have parted ways as of September 30 2010.
EVE sought resolution with Miss Conneely in an attempt to see her fulfil the agreed and scheduled appearance for the Oct 16 taping's so no fans were left disappointed in her not attending however this could not be arranged.
Pro-Wrestling:EVE would like to apologise for any inconveniences caused to any fans planning to attend on the basis of the appearance of the character of Melanie Price.
EVE Producer Dann Read issued the following:
"Pro-Wrestling:EVE is committed to the progression of Professional Female Wrestling throughout Europe. The next few months will be telling as we separate those who believe in women's wrestling from those who don't and find out who's passion for the female industry matches our own. Everyone must be on the same page and everyone must be committed to their own improvement.
Pro-Wrestling:EVE works alongside some of the very best in the women's wrestling industry and supports the efforts of those doing the very same thing such as SHIMMER, Female Fight League, NCW – Femmes Fatales, ChickFight & many others around the world in addition to those who give coverage and support to the female wrestling business such as Diva-Dirt.com, CapruredBeauty.com, RedHotDivas.com, Wrestlegasm.com, WrestlingFusion.com, (there are so many I'm sorry if I haven't mentioned you, send me messages on twitter and I'll #FF to make up for it!).
We support them, they support us, we all support each other and we all have the same dreams and goals.
Not everyone will agree with this mind set and belief in female wrestlers and female wrestling. In fact some of the female wrestling industry's biggest critics are from females themselves – not approving of professional wrestling knows no gender specifics and rightfully so. We in turn wish them the best of luck with their own goals in life and bare no ill will or grudge. We are all unique and the world would be a boring place if we all felt the same about everything. But those of us who DO believe in the sport, performance art and entertainment of female professional wrestling do so with passion that is perhaps unmatched anywhere else and we will continue to do this for as long as we're in existence.
We appreciate those who support us and our efforts and we hope we can continue to rely upon you to keep spreading the word of the fantastic efforts being put forth by female wrestlers and staff members involved in these projects. We in return promise to give you nothing but 100% in effort, commitment and dedication to the cause – to produce a product that while perhaps not yet ready to be accepted by the masses is a product that we watch and enjoy not on the basis of it being a female product but on the basis of it being a GOOD product that challenges to change our mindsets and break down previously placed walls and barriers.
We know you know no ignorance, no prejudice and place no road blocks before us but simply put your trust in us to do right. We hope to live up to these justified expectations and do you proud.
Thank you for your support.

Just a quick post while I'm waiting for some code to finish running...
If you use stable isotope analysis and R, like I do, you've probably come across the excellent package 'siar'. This is really great for extracting isotope-related stats, like layman metrics or bayesian ellipses. My only niggle is that I'm a ggplot2 advocate and I find that R base graphics tricky and sometimes inconsistent (I also find it much easier to customise the plot with ggplot2). It's not a big deal but I decided I'd prefer to be able to plot isotopic data, along with the standard ellipses that get exported from siar, in ggplot2. Here is the resultant code
The solution is currently a bit clunky. Andrew Jackson (one of the people behind siar) will be looking at implementing a more sophisticated solution into siar, accessible through cran. In the meantime, if you want the code, here it is...
#first you need to subset your data manually by each species (or whatever group you're using)
sp1 <- subset(data, data$species=="sp1")
sp2 <- subset(data, data$species=="sp2")
sp3 <- subset(data, data$species=="sp3")
#next calculate standard.ellipse for each subset

Trafigura on oil outlook
The FT's Neil Hume speaks to Jeremy Weir, chief executive of Trafigura – one of the world's biggest oil traders – about the outlook for the market and the price of oil.
Produced by Vanessa Kortekaas. Filmed and edited by Steve Ager.
Welcome to the FT Commodities Global Summit 2017. I'm joined by Jeremy Weir, the chief executive of Trafigura, which is one of the world's biggest oil traders. The company has seen strong growth in trading volumes over the past couple of years. I think you've risen from 2.5 million in 2014 to over 5 million at the moment. Can you give us an idea of what's been driving that? And can it continue?
The main driver has been, firstly, market conditions require generous, but more importantly, in a trading company, we're a service industry. And the approach that I believe that we have in our business [INAUDIBLE] is to align ourselves with our customer base, understand what their needs are, and then having a global footprint to capitalise on the various opportunities that exist in the marketplace to provide the service, to provide the best sales price for the producers or the best purchase price for the consumers, and ensuring that the consumers get their barrels on time. And so therefore, I believe that we are well-positioned to continue that growth, albeit, alongside with international growth in oil consumption.
Just another question just about the outlook. 2016 was a good year for yourselves and the industry as a whole. But some of the market conditions that helped boost profits, things like storage trades perhaps, aren't as obvious now as they were 12 months ago. Does that mean 2017 is going to be a tough year? Or are there other parts of your business that will compensate for those trades perhaps not being there?
Look, I think oil trading isn't just about carry trades-- contango plays. You have a diversified business, and the idea is to, if you like, see what the global market is doing, having the global footprint to ensure that you can capitalise on differences. For example, we're one of the largest or, actually the largest, exporter of crude out of the US.
China has been a large consumer of oil and also an exporter of refined product, and we have moved some barrels into the US. So looking at those, if you like, unnatural flows and capitalise on the differences in the marketplace are very important. I should also add we're a diversified business. We're an oil trader, but also our minerals and metals business as well, which has shown significant growth. And it's been, particularly this year, a very large contributor to our bottom line.
You handle 5 billion barrels of oil a day. That makes you one of the biggest oil traders in the world. Do you have a strong feeling on the direction of prices this year or whether the market might come back into balance? How do you see it?
I think we are fairly agnostic on price from a business point of view, if you look at our P&L over the years, it's not related to price more to volatility. That being said, we do see at the moment an oversupply of crude. We're seeing a supply response out of the US, although we're starting to see a good draw on refined products, so the market will rebalance.
In the short term, I should say, we expect prices to remain around current levels or in a fairly narrow range. But longer term, even despite the increase in US production and the low cost base out of US production, you're going to still, on a global basis, need to feed increased demand and depleting production.
And by doing so, you're going to have to have a reasonably high price to attract capital to invest in that industry. So we expect the longer term prices to be higher than where they currently are.
Just another company-specific question-- your relationship with Rosneft has helped the company grow significantly over the last couple of years. You signed a deal last year with Rosneft to buy a stake in Essar, the Indian oil group. Could you tell us a bit more about that deal and how is it benefiting traffic Trafigura going forward?
The Vadinar refinery is a world-class refinery. Trafigura will be a 24% shareholder alongside Rosneft and the Russian-based fund UCP. This refinery, as I said, state-of-the-art refinery. It is very well located, not only for the growing Indian economy, which we're very positive on a long-term basis, because it does come with a very large distribution network.
But it's also a very well placed for international trade. And if you like, from that perspective, we can source barrels for many different locations. And it's a natural fit to a trading business capitalising on the growth of the Indian market as well.
One final question-- one of the biggest stories of the year is the spread of populist politics across the world, and their backlash against globalisation. Indeed, we're seeing President Trump perceive what he calls an American first economic policy. Are these forces a positive or perhaps a negative for your business? Will they throw up opportunities?
Look, I think global trade will always be there. And global trade will generally increase as demand in global GDP grows. That being said, with potential trade barriers in the border tax being implemented, it will change natural flows. And it will change the economics, for example, of US refiners.
From our perspective, those changes of flows is something we often identify early. We'll create probably natural flows of business and increase volatility. In that sort of environment, that is something which a trading company, if you're on your game, you can really capitalise upon.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Neil.

Once it is determined that a candidate will be hired, it is important to log that hire on RecruitiFi.
In order to log a hire you will need 3 things:
- A start date
- A candidate's total compensation number for the first year.
- The JobCasts status (Open to hire more candidates, or Closed)
From the 'Late Interviews' stage, click the 'Hire' button for the candidate that has been hired.
Once the 'Hire Feedback' box pops up you will be able to input the hire information.
To ensure that records are accurate, hires should only be input when the formal processes have been completed (e.g. offer letter signed, background check completed).
If you need to hire more than one candidate, or you plan on leaving the job open to hire additional candidates in the near future, you should chose to leave the JobCast open in the JobCast Status dropdown. With the JobCast still open, you can go back into additional candidate's profiles and select them for hire.
Once a hire is logged, the submitting recruiter will receive an email notifying them of the hire and providing them with instructions on when the candidate clears the guarantee period, what they will be paid, and how to setup their payout preferences if they haven't already.
Tags: make a hire, log a hire, hire information, hire details, hire feedback, start date, salary, JobCast status, close JobCast, hire multiple candidates.

Hello StarTools community....
I've gotten a mono camera and NB filters now and have left the DSLR world behind.
Looking for ways to process the data I came across this tone mapping method that gives some great results, but I can only find tutorials in PI and PS.
Would anyone please describe how to apply this method in StarTools?

OurPictures new software including PictureSafe
OurPictures new software including PictureSafe :
OurPictures announced today that the company has launched a new version of their award-winning software complete with several groundbreaking new features and services including OurPictures PictureSafe. Unlike other services available to consumers, OurPictures PictureSafe automatically archives and backs up entire digital photo collections, keeping them safe from computer viruses, theft and computer crashes. To coincide with the new software launch, OurPictures also announced an expanded retail print network that includes an agreement with digital image processing solutions provider Silverwire to leverage the company's thousands of independent networked photofinishers and retail chains.
OurPictures - Keep digital photos safe
"OurPictures is committed to developing products that meet the needs of consumers and our newly expanded network of retailers and revolutionary new service OurPictures PictureSafe take that consumer commitment to a whole new level," said John Paul, President and CEO of OurPictures. "Giving consumers more choices and providing them with the peace of mind that digital photos are safe from harm are just some of the many ways that OurPictures is creating software applications that really speak to mass-market consumers."
OurPictures - Behind the scenes
According to leading digital imaging research firm InfoTrends, only about 46% of digital camera users have a long-term archival plan for their digital photos. "The new OurPictures PictureSafe service really addresses an industry-wide photo storage and archiving dilemma by offering a solution for consumers that addresses the issue head on. The best part is that OurPictures does all of the work behind-the-scenes without the consumer having to worry about a thing," said Jill Aldort, a Consultant with InfoTrends.
OurPictures PictureSafe - Backs up and detects lost images
OurPictures PictureSafe automatically backs up and detects lost images due to accidental deletion, viruses, and other catastrophic failures. When pictures need to be restored, the user has the ability to restore their lost images on demand over the OurPictures Network. As media standards evolve another key feature of the service is that OurPictures will convert the consumers' images from jpeg to the next media standard, ensuring that the pictures will be saved for future generations to come. Space for 1,000 pictures is included as part of the Deluxe Edition and additional space can be purchased separately. In addition, OurPictures is offering consumers even more choices when it comes to the online ordering of digital photo prints by adding Wal-Mart, Costco and Longs Drugs to their retail network, which now includes more than 25,000 doors.
OurPictures - Features
• Cards & Gifts (Merchandise) - Produce cards for holidays and events or create photo books from your favorite photos, complete with captions, a protective cover and clear spiral binding.
• Search - An extremely fast new search feature allows the user to quickly find the pictures they're looking for, whether their collection consists of 1,000 or 20,000 pictures. Users can find photos by their captions and search by keywords. Images can easily be searched for by date, time, if they were printed or shared with a particular person.
OurPictures software - Two versions
OurPictures software comes in two programs including a Free Starter Edition that gives consumers everything they need in order to share, print, organize and edit digital photos in addition to buying merchandise. The company's Premium Deluxe Edition comes standard with unlimited sharing, the OurPictures PictureSafe service, PictureSafe Anywhere, which provides users with access to their pictures on the web from a remote computer and OurPictures Mobile, a camera phone application that gives people the power to effortlessly share photos from their mobile phones. The Starter Edition is free and the Deluxe Edition is $2.99/month or $29.99/annually. The program can be downloaded from the OurPictures Web site.
About OurPictures
OurPictures, Inc. is a leading creator of software and a network of services for the absolute easiest way to share, manage, print and archive digital photos. The company provides retailers, photo finishers and ISP's with a complete solution for harnessing the exploding digital photo market, enabling them to create new revenue streams while maintaining direct relationships with customers under their own brands, all while OurPictures provides the back-end management and support. In May 2005, OurPictures launched the second version of their award-winning software for consumers, complete with new features and a groundbreaking new backup and archiving service, OurPictures PictureSafe. Based in Palo Alto, California, OurPictures is led by photo imaging and consumer software industry veterans from America Online, Kodak, Yahoo!, Netscape, Mattel, and Hewlett-Packard.

Shake Shack
I have yet to find a better burger chain than Shake Shack. I know there are many (like hundreds) of places known for their burgers, but if I am looking for consistency and not something that is going to make me fearful of clogging my arteries, it is for sure Shake Shack.
Everything about their food and establishment is as perfect as it can get. The staff is friendly, the dining space is clean, the food is always presented with visual appeal and care, and of course, its always delicious.
There is a lot of competition out there I know. Some are quick to call me out on Instagram and say "In & Out is better", and they might be, but I am in the NYC Metro Area, not out west or in California, so I never had the opportunity. And while places like Five Guys is good, again, nothing compares to Shake Shack.
I don't know what their "Shack Sauce" is made of, but it beats any special sauce or ketchup, catsup, or anything else I've ever had. Its mild, not tangy, not pungent, again, a perfect balance. Take a look at this cross section, the burger to bun ratio is correct, as is the toppings. The bun is soft, fresh and even the Niman Ranch Bacon is not flimsy or greasy, but nice a thick and crispy.
From the moment you bite into it (and bite gently to get the full flavor experience), it is like no other burger. It is not a big thick piece of ground meat you need to try to get into your mouth only to have the hot juices spill all over you or the table. It is a perfect bite properly constructed to give the maximum pleasure of enjoying this burger without the worry of making a mess. I don't know who thinks the thicker the burger the better, but that is definitely not my philosophy. I don't like them rare, I don't like them well done, medium or medium well and that, for me, is how they should be served.
Now, their shakes are also incredible, after all, it is called Shake Shack, not burger shack. But they have a variety of flavors and they are all delicious. They are not too thick, not thin, not too cold, not to sweet, these shakes too are perfect. I don't know what 2 burgers, a small fries and a shake costs at another fast food chain (and I really don't consider this fast food as much as fast casual) but this set me back $23 and change. No complaints. I imagine you can get the same deal at one of the bigger megachains for half that price, but then, you know, it will suck at best. This is what you should be eating if you are in a hurry but want something of great quality and taste.
They also have vegan mushroom burgers, vegetarian options as well as gluten free items as well. This is what Americans on the go need without all the guilt.

I love our little "labour of love home". We have so much fun dreaming up things to do to it and I am so lucky to have a husband who encourages and helps me paint and decorate and organize and re-purpose old crappy furniture over and over again.
Mason jar candle holder
We decided to have a bit of a "do it yourself" Christmas decoration year. Basically we weren't aloud to spend any money on Christmas decorations. I have a rule that I'm only aloud to buy Christmas decorations AFTER Christmas when they're 75% off so that kinda puts a bit of a damper on the Christmas decorating but it makes you get creative
Here are our Mason Jars that we decorated with some ribbon I got from Costco last year. Just glued the ribbon with a glue gun and threw a tea light inside and that was that
Christmas paper creation
I'm actually not even sure what to call this but Nelson took some strips of leftover wrapping paper once a few gifts were were wrapped and he rolled them up and stuck them in this glass jar and there you have it... a "wrapping paper jar thingy"
Decorative Clothespins
First of all I did these a long time ago after finding the idea on Young House Love. They're sweet to hang pics from and I plan on doing them in Molly's play room with letters from the alphabet once I get around to decorating it. These are currently hanging in my office/sewing room and if the room was even somewhat tidy there would be a better view of where they are but a closeup was the safest thing to do.
The paper and yellow ribbon are from Michaels. Clothespins from the dollar store and a regular ol' gluestick was used to paste paper onto the clothespins
Framing the thermostat
I got this idea from Pinterest and it was the sweetest thing ever to jazz up our thermostat. The frame is from here. All we had to do was cut out the back with an exacto-knife and throw it on the wall... awesome!
Here's a little perspective of what it looks like in the house.
Wall Gallery
I finally got around to putting up my very first wall gallery. We love it:)
Here are the 3 lonely frames I had in this space originally:
Here's a different angle
close-up shot of a few pics developed from Hawaii and some free printables I developed at Costco
I've been quite a regular user of the Costco photo centre lately. I printed out these prints and framed them for the kitchen. Frames are from Ikea and prints were found on a lengthly "free printable" search on the web and unfortunately I have no idea where the tree came from now but the Subway art is from here
Last but not least I picked up this super awesome Amy Butler shower curtain from Bed Bath and Beyond. It was regular 50$ but on sale for 13$... yeah!! I LOVE the pattern and I'm going to make it into two small curtains for the openings to the tunnel in the playroom.
Yesterday I finally got around to painting our door in the kitchen and Nels is at the paint store right now getting some paint for the upstairs bathroom and the coffee table in the living room... Hopefully I'll have time to post pics of those things in a few days.
