Pues claro q si,colorcito para los días fríos! por cierto, son cómodos los zapatos? no se si devolverlos...ReplyDeleteReplies
Hola guapa!!Delete
Son muy cómodos! yo los tengo en negro también... sólo tengo (tenia) un problemilla con ellos y es que se me caían al andar (blanco no hace medios números) así que lo arreglé con una talonera y listo! yo aguanto muy bien con ellos...! pero supongo que va un poco dependiendo del tipo de pie.
Espero haberte ayudado algo!
Me encantan los pantalones, bueno todo el look jeje. No solo los colores vivos se tienen que llevar en primavera-verano, estoy contigo :).ReplyDelete
Un besito
como me gusta el contraste de los pantalones con los zapatos, te queda precioso!!!ReplyDelete
bueno y el abrigo es una monada!!
me gusta tu conjunto! un besito!!
Totalmente de acuerdo. En invierno también hay que poner un poco de color a nuestros outfitsReplyDelete
La combinación de colores es simplemente perfecta. El color de los zapatos con los pantalones es increiblemente precioso y elegante y la típica cosa que JAMAS se me habria ocurrido a mi, que soy una simplona en estas cosas y menos mal que estas tu pa' enseñarme.ReplyDelete
El jersey me encanta (adoro los jerseys oversize con esa caída) y el abrigo y el bolso lo rematan todo haciendo el conjunto redondo. De los outfits invernales más bonitos que he visto, lo juro!!
Un saludo guapérrima!!
Me encanta el abrigo!!ReplyDelete

Estoy de acuerdo que el invierno puede tener mas colores que el negro y gris! Vas preciosa!ReplyDelete

what about this? suppose you added a little information?
I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a headline to possibly get a person's attention?
I mean "MUSTARD" is a little vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create post headlines to grab people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people excited about what you've got to say.
In my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.

I came across this cute pin and knew I had to make these reindeer sandwiches for the kids school lunches sometime before Christmas. I got around to making them in our favourite Easy Lunchboxes yesterday and they were a big hit with the kids! See the details below on how to make your own Rudolph Christmas lunch!
I like to make cute holiday lunches for the kids once in a while, but I don't like to do anything over the top. This little lunch was really easy and the things you need to put it together are not hard to find.
What you'll need:
Circle Sandwich cutter
Twisty pretzels for antlers
Red M&M
Candy eyes
Red/Green Jello
Other red/green foods
First make your sandwich, then cut it into a circle shape using a larger circle cutter. Use pretzels for antlers, candy eyes and a red M&M for a nose to make Rudolph's face. Lastly, add a variety of red and green foods to the lunch and that's it!
I included some brocoli, strawberries, kiwi and red/green Jello but you could also do red and green peppers, christmas colored fishy crackers, a red grapes, etc. For the Jello, I prepared it right in the containers the night before.We absolutely LOVE our Easy Lunchboxes! For more simple and healthy school lunch solutions for any time of year, visit this post where I share a weeks worth of ideas!
Have a fabulous weekend everyone! We'll see you back here for Simple things Sunday. 🙂

The Georgia Guidestones is a large granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia (USA). A message comprising ten guides is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient languages' scripts: Babylonian Cuneiform, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian Hieroglyphs.
The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge." The monument is made from six granite slabs weighing more than 240,000 pounds combined. One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.
In June 1979, an unknown person or persons under the pseudonym R. C. Christian hired Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build the structure. R. C. Christian (Christian Rosenkreuz) is the semi-legendary, perhaps allegorical, founder of the Rosicrucian Order (Order of the Rose Cross), presented in the three Manifestos published in the early 17th century.
Rosicrucianism is a philosophical secret society, said to have been founded in late medieval Germany by Christian Rosenkreuz. It holds a doctrine or theology "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm." Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucian
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_society
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosy_Cross
- http://www.gotquestions.org/Rosicrucianism.html
The symbol of the Rosy Cross played a substantial role within the system of Thelema as developed by Aleister Crowley. In a cosmological context, the rose is Nuit, the infinitely expanded goddess of the night sky, and the cross is Hadit, the ultimately contracted atomic point. For Crowley, it was the job of the adept to identify with the appropriate symbol so to experience the mystical conjunction of opposites, which leads to attainment. It has several meanings, depending on the source. Some groups, such as the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, from a non-sectarian or non-religious view, suggest that the rosy cross predates Christianity, where "the cross represents the human body and the rose represents the individual's unfolding consciousness."
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelema
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuit
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadit
A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian. The inscriptions on the Guidestones are listed below.
- Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
- Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
- Unite humanity with a living new language.
- Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
- Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
- Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
- Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
- Balance personal rights with social duties.
- Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
- Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
The first guideline or principal would reduce the world population down to 500 Million people. What do they plan to do with the other 6.3 billion people? The world's population (July 7, 2010) is around 6,854,837,564, and the United States' population (July 8, 2010) is around 309,697,072. If the conspirators of this plan were to leave the population of the United States untouched, they would have to eliminate 6 billion people. That would leave less than 200 million people alive on the rest of the entire Earth.
Built to survive the apocalypse, the Georgia Guidestones are not merely instructions for the future, the massive granite slabs also function as a clock, calendar, and compass.
Whoever the anonymous architects of the Guidestones were, they knew what they were doing. The monument sits at the highest point in Elbert County. The monument is a highly engineered structure that flawlessly tracks the sun. The four outer stones are oriented to mark the limits of the 18.6 year lunar declination cycle. On an equinox or solstice, visitors who stand at the west side of the "mail slot" are positioned to see the sun rise on the horizon. The center column features a hole through which the North Star can be seen regardless of time, as well as a slot that is aligned with the Sun's solstices and equinoxes. A 7/8″ aperture in the capstone allows a ray of sun to pass through at noon each day, shining a beam on the center stone indicating the day of the year.
Many have praised the inscribed messages as "a stirring call to rational thinking," while opponents have labeled them as the "Ten Commandments of the Antichrist."
The Guidestones have become a subject of interest for conspiracy theorists. One of them demanded that the Guidestones "be smashed into a million pieces, and then the rubble used for a construction project," claiming that the Guidestones are of "a deep Satanic origin," and that R. C. Christian, belongs to "a Luciferian secret society" related to the New World Order. At the unveiling of the monument, a local minister proclaimed that he believed the monument was "for sun worshipers, for cult worship and for devil worship."
Radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, in his 2008 documentary Endgame: Elite's Blueprint For Global Enslavement, told the viewer that "the message of the mysterious Georgia Guidestones, purportedly built by representatives of a secret society called the Rosicrucian Order or Rosicrucians, which call for a global religion, world courts, and for population levels to be maintained at around 500 million, over a 6.5 billion reduction from current levels. The stones infer that humans are a cancer upon the earth and should be culled in order to maintain balance with nature."
Most people agree that the Guidestones are meant to instruct the survivors of some impending apocalypse as they attempt to reconstitute civilization. Not everyone is comfortable with this notion.
On the sixth day of the Creation narrative in the Book of Genesis it is written, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue [H3533] it: and have dominion [H7287] over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so" (Genesis 1:27-30 KJV).
To subdue and have dominion over the earth and all living things on the face of the earth is to rule, subjugate, dominate, bring into bondage, and make subservient. The earth and its flora and fauna were never intended to subdue and have dominion over mankind. God's plan was for mankind to care for and rule the earth. In the misguided thoughts of most environmentalists and global elitists, these roles have been reversed.

The Rosicrucian Order designed and financed the Georgia Guidestones monument. The secretive nature of Rosicrucianism is in direct contrast with Christianity, which seeks to shout the message of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) from the roof tops, as Yeshua said, "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops" (Matthew 10:27 KJV).
The Rosicrucianism Order is syncretistic, meaning that it borrows ideas and beliefs from various other religions in an attempt to unify them under a central theme—wisdom about life after death has been preserved through the ages and is revealed only to the secret brotherhood (the Rosicrucians). There are strongly occultic teachings in Rosicrucianism, including ESP, clairvoyance, and spiritism. This goes right along with the secretive nature of Rosicrucianism because these activities are the playground of Satan and his demons, and Satan always shuns the light.
The nature of secret societies is completely contrary to Christian belief. The Bible is an open book inviting all who will, to come to a saving knowledge of Yeshua HaMashiach. The Apostle John wrote, "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Revelation 22:17 KJV). Anyone inquiring into membership in the Corpus Christianum can investigate, ask questions, read the inspired handbook (Holy Bible), and make a decision for Messiah Yeshua fully knowing what the cost and consequences of the action will be.
In stark contrast, a secret society welcomes only a restricted number into membership, into the secret oaths and ceremonies, and into the activities of the society. Members of secret orders often compare their organization with the fellowship of believers in a local church. But a secret society is quite different from a church in that it is elitist in nature rather than inclusive. Unlike a church it does not extend its fellowship to any and all persons desiring to identify with the organization, its principles and practices.
The Corpus Christianum discourages membership in secret orders. The reasons for discouraging the Corpus Christianum from belonging to to secret orders and for encouraging the Corpus Christianum to avoid involvement with such orders are summarized below.
- The activities of secret orders demand time and energy that divert the servant of the Lord from efforts to fulfill the Great Commission.
- The binding loyalty to fellow members of the secret society—many of whom are not fellow believers in Jesus Christ and His saving work—is an unworthy joining together of believers with unbelievers.
- The spirit, philosophy, and general influence of secret orders channel activities toward improving only the natural part of humankind instead of changing the heart of the spiritual being.
- Commitment to secret orders and their teachings leads one to a wrong emphasis on salvation through good works and improving society.
Secret societies are in conflict with the teachings of Holy Scripture. A Christian must never affiliate with any organization that yokes together believers with unbelievers in unholy alliances (2 Corinthians 6:14-18), requires a pledge to unscriptural oaths which are sealed by using the name of God improperly or in vain (Exodus 20:7, Leviticus 5:4-6, Matthew 5:34-37, James 5:12), represents itself as providing teaching in harmony with the Bible when in fact it does not (2 Peter 3:16), represents itself as being religious and offers a false hope of salvation through works, yet dishonors the only true God and our Savior Yeshua HaMashiach (John 17:3, 1 Timothy 2:3-6, Colossians 2:8-10, Ephesians 2:8-9).
In his epistle to the Romans the Apostle Paul wrote, "Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men" (Romans 12:17 KJV). Secretively meeting behind closed doors where activities are carried on behind a cloak of secrecy, in favor of fellow members, usually for economic, social, or political advantage hardly describes doing what is right in the eyes of everybody. The Apostle Paul wrote, "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty" (2 Corinthians 6:17-18 KJV). This is God's advice for Christians and is certainly applicable in regard to secret societies.

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced the availability of its high-speed MXC™ optical cable assembly to support Intel® Silicon Photonics. Intel's breakthrough technology delivers unprecedented performance and energy efficiency within the data center. Corning's innovative cabling solution is capable of sending up to 1.6 terabits per second of data at distances of up to 300 meters.
Every day, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created with 90 percent of the world's data created in the last two years alone. To support this tremendous surge in traffic, next-generation data centers will require full-optical connectivity – not just in the backbone and cross connects deployed in today's data centers – but all the way to server ports which typically use copper, resulting in slower downlinks.
Using an MXC optical connector and Corning® ClearCurve® LX fiber, the optical cable assembly can transfer massive amounts of data up to 2.5 times faster than standard 10G Ethernet connections. In addition to unparalleled data capacity and fiber reach, ClearCurve LX fibers have one-fifth the bend radius when compared to standard fibers sold today, making them more flexible for routing through crowded server-switch-storage racks.
"Corning has a long history of developing innovative fiber optic technology and we are excited about this launch," said Clark Kinlin, executive vice president of Corning's Optical Communications business. "We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Intel and other industry leaders to create high-speed, low-power, and cost-effective optical technologies that will have a transformative impact on cloud computing, big data and other applications that require robust data center technologies."
Intel Silicon Photonics devices are designed to be low-cost, fast, scalable and energy-efficient, providing extremely high bandwidth over longer distances than conventional electrical or optical solutions. The flexibility of Intel Silicon Photonics should enable data center designers to be more creative in how they architect the data center since they will no longer be encumbered by obstacles such as the distance between servers. Intel Silicon Photonics will also be used in traditional applications, such as Ethernet, top-of-rack connectivity, high performance computing, and storage. The introduction of the MXC cable assembly will help drive the commercial availability of Silicon Photonics.
"The MXC cable assembly is a great example of how collaboration can help drive the technology needed for future data centers," said Dr. Mario Paniccia, Intel Fellow and general manager of the Silicon Photonics Solutions group. "We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Corning and with our other partners to bring it to the industry."

Art-auction headlines tend to reflect sales prices and trends among the highest-valued artworks.
These multimillion-dollar transactions, though, don't always reflect what's really happening with overall art prices or prices for specific fine-art markets.
The Mei Moses Fine Art Indexes from Beautiful Asset Advisors, however, provide deeper insight into these markets, because the indexes track repeat sales at Christie's and Sotheby's.
For example, if a painting sold at auction in 1995 and didn't change hands again until 2012, Mei Moses would add the object and the two prices to its database in 2012.
That information allows the firm to calculate a compound average rate of return for this particular piece for the period between transactions. The firm says this approach allowed the firm to add almost 3,100 objects to its database last year.
The results can be surprising–as shown by a major-piece example highlighted in the firm's recent analysis of 2012's sales.
Picasso's Nature Morte Aux Tulipes sold for $41.5 million in November 2012. The previous transaction price was $28.6 million in 2000, which Mei Moses calculates produced a 3.0% compound annual return for the seller.
"This painting was bought at a major peak in the art market for a significant price and thus the modest return is not a surprise… It is also true that the owner had the opportunity of enjoying this painting and would not have been better served by investing in the S&P 500 total return index, except for transaction costs, for the same period of time," according to the firm.
The roughly 3,100 sale-pairs Mei Moses identified in 2012 generated an average compound annual return of 6.7% versus 6.8% for the S&P 500 total return index for the same holding periods.
"This is a positive result for the owners of the art since they achieved relatively similar returns, before transaction costs, and obtained the enjoyment from viewing the art for free or at the cost of the transaction," the Mei Moses report concludes.
The report includes other interesting observations on last year's transactions:
- The average price tracked was $518,910, but the median price was only $63,718. That means half the transactions were for less than the lower figure, implying that high-quality art is accessible to more buyers than the headline sales imply.
- Less expensive art generated better returns but with more variation. Sales for less than $50,000 provided mean returns of 7.48% with a standard deviation of 17.23%.
- Returns for more expensive objects were lower but their standard deviations were also lower.
- Sales between $500,000 and $1 million, in contrast, generated returns of 5.51% with a standard deviation of 10.93%.
- Excess expectations can result in a no-sale.
Mei Moses also examined 1,487 repeat sales pairs for artworks that were offered but did not sell in 2011 and 2012. Although many of the price statistics between sold and unsold objects were similar, the firm notes that a key difference in the pre-sale price ranges.
"However when you come to the average expectation of the two owner groups (sold and unsold), we see that the works that did not sell had a mean return expectation three times that of the works that did sell," the firm says in a recent report. "Therefore on average setting a return expectation too high reduces the likelihood of a positive outcome for the owner of the art. This is a fact that is replicated in our full database."

The union representing striking container truck drivers plans to strike at noon Thursday despite a purported agreement that was reached Monday between Port Metro Vancouver, the B.C. Trucking Association and the shipping industry.
"There is no way this will have an impact on our strike plans for Thursday," said Gavin McGarrigle, B.C. area director for Unifor, which hopes to stop all container traffic at the port of Vancouver when it goes on strike.
"This is a backroom deal between Port Metro Vancouver and the B.C. Trucking Association. We weren't involved in that at all. If you want a deal, you have to have all parties around the table and clearly they didn't do that."
About 300 union members of Unifor-Vancouver Container Truckers' Association voted unanimously Saturday in favour of going on strike, said McGarrigle. Union members have continued working under the provisions of the previous contract, which expired in June, 2012.
"We think that the withdrawal of labour by container truckers will effectively shut down the container trucking side of the port," he said.
McGarrigle said union members will picketing but he wouldn't say where.
"We're going to sit down with our leadership to determine where we'll do this to make sure we're peacefully protesting lawfully," he said.
The PMV-BCTA agreement McGarrigle was referring to was based on information posted on the PMV website saying that the port had agreed to an eight-point proposal meant to solve the labour dispute.
Among the recommendations are to extend operating hours, change how fees are charged and conduct audits of trucking companies. The proposal is now being circulated by trucking company owners throughout the owner/operator trucking community.
An official from the port could not be reached to comment on the proposal and how it affects the planned strike and picketing Thursday.
Louise Jako, president and CEO of the BCTA, said she believed the proposal by the association and the shipping industry can resolve the labour dispute.
"If we can deal with the intimidation and violence, absolutely," she said. "That's the critical key right now."
On Friday, PMV obtained a court injunction that stopped protesting non-union drivers from blocking access to the port. The injunction applies only to members of the United Truckers Association and has nothing to do with legal job action by his union, McGarrigle said.
He said the union has already asked both federal and provincial governments to bring in a mediator to solve the impasse.
"We think Vince Ready is the correct choice because he was the one who helped resolve it in 2005," McGarrigle said.
"In addition to that and making some progress on the table, if we can get somewhere on those issues, then we can hopefully avoid this. That's our wish and that's our goal," he said.
"If we don't see movement in those areas, our members will be withdrawing their labour at noon on Thursday."
The main issues, he said, are rates paid to truckers along with undercutting by some companies, costs being downloaded onto container truckers and long waiting times.
Rates paid vary between $95 and $185 per container moved. A May 2013 study by Asia Pacific Gateway found that drivers were paid an average of $15.51 an hour compared to the B.C. trucking industry median of $23 an hour.
Tempers and emotions got heated last week with reports of vandalism and incidents of yelling and screaming by non-unionized protesters. There were reports of brake lines being cut. The port also posted a blurry video online that it claims showed members of the United Truckers Association vandalizing a truck.
Jako said the proposal was drafted after about 25 trucking company owners got together last week.
"We understand why our drivers are frustrated," she said.
"The more trips they make, the more money they make. Over time, there has been an erosion in the number of trips that owner-operators can make. They were understandably asking for an increase."
One of the main points of the proposal, she said, is to improve productivity by allowing owner operators to increase their number of trips. By doing that, they earn more money, she said.
"It also deals with an underlying concern that some companies and some owner-operators are not playing fair and complying with a rate schedule developed in 2005," she said.
One of the proposals is for audits of trucking companies to make sure that every company that agrees to comply with the rates in fact does so.

The following is my transcription of a brief Rand Paul speech which, although delivered almost one year ago, still has been circulating the internet in video form. Along with the transcription, I've included notes and online links which highlight certain lines that Paul quotes as well as the authors of those quotes.
The result should be a full understanding of this interesting speech, which not only links Ray Bradbury's ideas in his book Fahrenheit 451 to the libertarian ideas of Rand Paul but appears almost prophetically alongside this week's revelations regarding the governmental tapping of phones and possibly emails by the NSA, according to whistleblower Edward Snowden. –SB
Senator Rand Paul
Fahrenheit 451 and the Flame of Liberty
Freedomfest 2012, Las Vegas, Nevada
July 14, 2012
In the opening pages of Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag asks: "Wasn't there a time when firemen used to put out fires?" They laugh at him, and they rebuke him and say: "Everybody knows firemen start fires." (*1)
Now, Montag knew this. Montag's father and his grandfather had been firemen. It had been his duty for many years to start fires. He knew it was his duty to burn books, but this day was a little bit different.
He showed up, and the woman wouldn't leave. He said: "The woman's on the porch; she won't leave. She has all of her books, and she won't leave. So, as they're dousing her books, and her, with kerosene, she shouts out, and she goads them. She is indignant that they would touch her books at all, and she won't leave, and she says: "Play the man, Master Ridley; today we will light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, that it won't be forgotten.
They keep dousing her with kerosene, and she says it again: "Play the man, Master Ridley. Today we will light such a candle." (*2)
And, the reference is lost on the fireman in the book, and they continue to do their job.
The reference is to Hugh Latimer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Latimer], who became a human candle. He was burned at the stake in 1555 for heresy. His heresy was to oppose the state religion. His heresy was to oppose the state. His heresy was to promote that the Bible be translated into English.
Now, we're not yet burning folks at the stake, fortunately. We're not burning books, but your government is interested in what books you read. They're interested in what you say in your phone calls. They're interested in what you write in your emails. This has been going on for a while now.
Last week, I asked for a report on this, and I was given a classified briefing. I wanted to know to what extent is your privacy being invaded. To what extent are they reading your emails, reading and listening to your phone conversations without a judge's warrant, and I can't tell you the answer because it's classified. It's classified how many times they're doing it, but I think what I can get away with saying is that when the government says it's a few hundred, it's closer to a gazillion, alright.
And, a gazillion's a fictitious number, but it's a very large number, and that is close to the number of the communications that are being looked at by the federal government.
We are giving up our privacy. We are trading our liberty for some sort of sense or some sort of ostensible security. We've traded our personal privacy and our personal dignity when we travel. I mentioned the other night a couple of stories about the TSA. I'll mention two quickly.
There was a man transporting the ashes of his parents, of his father in an urn. The TSA made him open it. They swirled their fingers in the human ashes. It fell to the floor, and the ashes fell out and they laughed.
Another young man who's deaf was with a deaf group. He comes through with candy in his luggage, and they say, you can't take the candy, you have to donate it, or you don't travel. He donates the candy, and as he walks off, they're laughing at him and saying, you "f'ng deafy" and eating his candy. This is what we've come to.
There's a Harvard Law School professor by the name of Noah Feldman [http://www.bloomberg.com/view/bios/noah-feldman/], and he wrote recently. He said the next time the TSA asks you to put your hands above your head, a little bit higher, no "hon," just a little bit higher, and hold this pose for seven vulnerable seconds; the next time they ask you this, ask yourself, is this the pose of a free man? (*3)
It's slipping away from us. Hugh Latimer was a human candle, and when he said that—let not this episode be forgotten; let this be an episode that will not soon be forgotten—when he became a human candle, he was a human candle against tyranny and intolerance. We still have a torch that's burning. The liberty torch is burning, figuratively or otherwise in New York Harbor, but I exhort you all not to let the flame of liberty go out.
Thank you very much.
*1: [NOTE: 17-year-old Clarisse McClellan first asks Montag: "Is it true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of going to start them?" Montag responds: "No. Houses have always been fireproof, take my word for it." Clarisse continues: "Strange. I heard once that a long time ago houses used to burn by accident and they needed firemen to stop the flames."
Later in the book, Montag, subconsciously recalling Clarisse's question, asks Captain Beatty: "What—was it always like this? The firehouse, our work? I mean, well, once upon a time. . . . in the old days, before homes were completely fireproofed–. . . Didn't firemen prevent fires rather than stoke them up and get them going?"]
*2: [NOTE: The actual quote from the woman is: "'Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.'" Captain Beatty later explains to the inquisitive Montag: "A man named Latimer said that to a man named Nicholas Ridley [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Ridley_(martyr)], as they were being burnt alive at Oxford, for heresy, on October 16, 1555."]
*3: [NOTE: Actual quote: "The next time airport security tells you to put your hands over your head and hold that vulnerable position for seven seconds, ask yourself: Is this the posture of a free man?" From: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-08/strip-search-case-reflects-death-of-american-privacy.html.]
Finally, please see my previous post, In honor of Ray Bradbury, in which Bradbury relates twisted attempts toward censorship of his own books over the years by those who believed he was not politically correct enough in his stories.

Dalton and his family are overjoyed as they get used to all the things he can now say to them.
He just wants to communicate with his family and have the power to express himself. However, 9-year-old Dalton suffers from speech problems due to his neurological condition, in addition to seizures and loss of nerve function.
When Make-A-Wish® volunteers arrive they discuss with the family the possibility of a speech device that would allow him to communicate.
Thanks to wish sponsors and donors, Dalton receives a touch screen device with pictures and words. He can select what he wants to say and the device verbalizes it for him – thank you, please, I love you – to name a few.
Dalton and his family are overjoyed as they get used to all the things he can now say to them.
"There are no words to explain what it means," says Dalton's mom. "It's going to change our lives … it has already in the two weeks he's had it."
While Dalton works closely with his speech therapist to fully master his device, he enjoys asking for books, games and his Shania Twain CDs. Dalton's wish gives him more control over his life.
"It's a dream come true. Isn't it, baby?" His mom says.
This story makes me feel
It brought tears to my eyes to watch his sweet face when he was in the water with the dolphins ... He came alive with them.
Hatcher's mom
Dear Dalton, Hey! I love your story, it makes me wanna help.... well it is. See my best friend and I have a Religion Final on a charity, and we both chose Make-A-Wish for it. We (mainly her) came up with an idea that if kids in my school pay $1 they could have a dress down day (i go to a Catholic School... which has uniforms) and the money will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. So we told it to our principal and she approved! i hope the money helps you and other children out! You are in my prayers, and i hope someday your wish will be granted! God Bless! Love, Ali :)

I want to thank Dalton for opening my eyes. I'm 14 and I complain about the most stupid things in life, like not having a phone. People don't realize how lucky they are!!! They have health, legs, arms, a voice, a family and a home, yet we complain because we don't have the new iphone 4, or a laptop etc.. And there are unlucky people with life-threatning illnesses and they're only wish is health, hands, feet, or a voice. Things people take for granted every day. So thank you Dalton!!! I hope you have a happy and wonderful long life!!!!!!!!! =)
October 21, 2010 - 2:14 PM
Dalton, I just want you to know that no matter how hard life gets you should never give up. God really does answer prayers; just from reading your story and not even truly knowing you as a person....i can already tell you are a genuinely kind person who just wants to be normal like everyone else. Since i have deaf parents I've learned to never treat anyone any differently just becauae of race or a disorder that one is born with. Everyone is the same in Gods eyes; and Dalton, you are one of the many twinkles in his eyes that shine bright day and night because you are so precious. God Bless You and remember to never let anyone put you down!!!
October 26, 2010 - 12:23 PM
Dalton, I am a student at Green Mountain College and as my final paper in my writing class, I have to write a paper on an organization I beleive is authentically patriotic, and I chose Make A Wish. Reading your story brought legitimate tears to my eyes as I am so excited for you. I work at a summer camp for people with special needs and aspire to be a teacher for those with special needs when I get out of college... I am so happy for you to be able to communicate with everybody. Good luck in everything you do! :)

Lopez update: Mt. Graham activist busted in D.C.
He lost his fight to keep UVA off Mt. Graham, but Native American activist Guy Lopez hasn't quit fighting the man.
On October 14, the 39-year-old member of the Crow Creek Sioux Reservation in South Dakota made headlines when he was arrested by U.S. Park Police officers while protesting the annual Columbus Day celebration outside Washington's Union Station.
Lopez maintains he was arrested "preemptively," to thwart his exercise of freedom of speech. Lopez tells The Hook that charges have already been dropped and that he and a national coalition of American Indians have already applied for a permit to organize next year's Columbus Day celebration in Washington. They want it taken away from the Knights of Columbus who have held the parade for 90 years and who, Lopez says, "choose to celebrate Columbus from a narrow point of view that would have Columbus declared a Saint by the Vatican.
"The Knights of Columbus and their friends in the National Park Service cannot expect us to sit back and allow them to celebrate the genocide of American Indian peoples any longer without a fight."
The National Park Service is expected to make an initial decision this week.
A member of the Dakota Nation, Lopez spent several months trying to persuade UVA not to join the University of Arizona in building a large new telescope on Mt. Graham, a peak considered sacred by the nearby San Carlos Apaches. On October 3, UVA announced it was going forward with the $4 million project.

Fysi>> Doubt it really. They would probably have done it sooner, but not wtfpwn the strict guilds. It's a really different game out there where you have to fiddle far more with gear and have far less room for failure due to not being able to take the better of both worlds.
And Paragon, like Ensidia, di the 25LK kill AFTER having killed the LK10 with ICC25 gear and being geared up in 10 hc gear AND ICC25 gear, not the same thing once again.
Being able to run 10/25 at the same time every week (like most raiding guilds do) means they gear up FAR faster (emblems and drops) and have the choice of everything and twice as much chance to put their hands on a needed slot upgrade....
It's what most people fail to realize.

State of the Art Test Scoring
ETS has the capacity to score approximately 64,000 tests per day. Each year, we deliver millions of score reports to examinees and institutions, in numerous formats and using a variety of means.
The process of scoring educational assessments involves more than simply tallying up right and wrong answers. It includes ensuring that tests:
- accurately measure what they are intended to measure
- generate consistent results across different versions and among different groups of test takers
- are fair to all test takers
Scoring Performance Assessments
ETS offers both the traditional paper-and-pencil method of scoring constructed responses and our own proprietary Online Scoring Network, which enables scorers to train and read constructed responses in their own homes and offices.
The Online Scoring Network illustrates ETS's ability to wed technological and assessment expertise to better serve the needs of our clients.
The security and quality control of online scorings are as stringent as that of traditional on-site scoring sessions. The Online Scoring Network delivers test results that are:
- fast
- secure
- cost-effective
Constructed-response Guidelines
ETS staff follow a rigorous set of guidelines in the design and scoring of constructed-response and other performance assessments. Since 1987, when these guidelines were first published, the number and variety of ETS performance assessments have continued to expand, due in part to ongoing cognitive research, changes in instruction, new assessment models and technological developments that affect how performance assessments are administered and scored. This document provides a guide for creating and scoring such modern assessments.
Because our tests are reliable and valid, those who take, use and rely on our assessments can do so with confidence. For more information on test scoring, including discussions of test reliability, validity and fairness, visit our Research pages.

Apple will spend $45 billion over the next three years on stock dividends -- beginning in the fourth quarter of this year. It also plans a stock buy-back program, the company announced Monday morning.
The announcement comes days after the Cupertino-based company launched the new iPad.
The company announced the dividend and buy-back plan via a press release and teleconference.. During the 6 a.m. call, Apple fleshed-out its plans for a $10 billion stock buy-back in 2013. The first dividend, at the end of this year, will run $2.65 per share.
Apple said that the per-share number is not static, and could change if the company's fortunes continue to flourish.
As of the end of last year Apple had $97.6 billion in cash and securities -- making it the most valuable publicly traded company in the world with a market cap of $545 billion.
Apple's announcement was no surprise: Financial experts expected Apple to announce a long-awaited dividend.
The hoard of cash is indicative of the leadership of former CEO Steve Jobs. Remember, in 1997 Apple was close to bankruptcy, warranting a cover story on Wired magazine with the Apple logo and one word: Pray.
And, like a survivor the Great Depression, Jobs was a "saver."
The announcement was a conference call only. No cameras were allowed on campus to record it.

Who in the World is David Pauley?
By R.J. Anderson //
Quick, who replaced Cliff Lee in the Seattle Mariners' rotation? Nope, not Erik Bedard or Michael Pineda. Try David Pauley. Who? The 27-year-old righty sports a 3.31 ERA through his first 10 appearances this season. With the Mariners already holding two fantasy league sleepers in their rotation this season – Jason Vargas and Doug Fister – could Pauley be the next pitcher to benefit from Seattle's pitcher-friendly home park and excellent defense? Maybe.
Pauley has bounced around since being drafted in the eighth round of the 2001 draft by the San Diego Padres. Three years later, San Diego traded him to the Boston Red Sox in the Dave Roberts deal, who then sent him to the Baltimore Orioles five years later. After reaching minor league free agency this past winter, Pauley inked with the Mariners, where he probably did not expect to join a rotation stacked with names like Felix Hernandez, Bedard, and Lee. Yet, here he is.
Pauley had only 28 major league innings entering this season, with mixed results. His ERA was awful, and still is, but his underlying peripherals suggested he wasn't that bad. For instance, his FIP this season is 3.91, whereas his career mark is 4.18. Even with a fastball that sits below 90 (check the chart below, he really does not throw hard), Pauley manages to get a league-average amount of whiffs, thanks to heavy usage of his change-up.
In 85 minor league innings this season, Pauley posted a 3.68 ERA. The last time he flashed an ERA over 4.50 in the minors came in 2006, during his first stint in Triple-A. Since then he's posted ERAs of 4.33, 3.55, 4.37, and the aforementioned 3.68. Most projection systems have Pauley with a much higher ERA than league average, but that seems harsh considering his ability to get groundballs while pitching in front of a grade-A defense and in a park that restricts power.
That doesn't mean Pauley is a must-get in your league. He's hardly that, but he is owned in less than 1% of ESPN leagues. So if you're in an AL-only or deep mixed league, Pauley is worth a shot.

Minister with responsibility for Novopay Steven Joyce today announced details of the Ministerial Inquiry into the education payroll system.
The Ministerial Inquiry is one of five measures the Government announced last week to address the issues surrounding Novopay.
Minister Joyce says the Ministerial Inquiry will be undertaken by former Chief Executive of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet Sir Maarten Wevers and Chairman of Deloitte New Zealand Murray Jack.
"The Ministerial Inquiry will be a comprehensive fact-finding investigation into all aspects of the Novopay project from the outset to the present day. Its terms of reference will enable the findings of the separate Technical Review to be incorporated into the Ministerial Inquiry," Mr Joyce says.
"Sir Maarten is a highly experienced and well respected former member of the public service. He has wide public recognition with a strong reputation for independence, trust and integrity, which make him an ideal person to be involved in this Ministerial Inquiry.
"Murray Jack has extensive experience in reviewing and advising on issues relating to major information technology systems, including the review of security breaches in the Ministry of Social Development's self-service kiosks. He is also leading the Technical Review of the stability of the Novopay system and the data contained in it. It makes practical sense for him to be involved in both the Technical Review and the Ministerial Inquiry.
"My expectation is the Ministerial Inquiry will report by the end of May following the completion of the technical review within the next three to four weeks."
Costs for the Ministerial Inquiry are estimated to be around $0.5 million and will be met from Ministry of Education's baselines. The draft terms of reference for the review will be consulted with the sector in the coming days. The inquiry incorporates the previously scheduled Post-Implementation Review.
"It is important that lessons are learned from the issues with Novopay. Following the Ministerial Inquiry I will ask the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment to work with Treasury, the State Services Commission and the Government Chief Information Officer to provide Cabinet with advice about contracting arrangements in the wider State Sector," Mr Joyce says.
Besides the Ministerial Inquiry and the Technical Review , other measures the Government is putting in place to address the issues with Novopay include a new Remediation Plan, which will accelerate software stabilisation, monitoring, enhancements and improved customer service; a Ministry of Education re-engagement plan with schools; and investigating a revised Contingency Plan with the previous payroll supplier.
"While we are putting in place new measures to address the issues with Novopay, the reality is those issues remain very complex and will take some time to resolve. I appreciate how frustrating and time consuming this is for school administrators, principals, teachers and other staff. The Government is doing everything it can to resolve the issues as quickly as possible," Mr Joyce says.

Code testing player Coverity is running with the swell of media interest in the red planet this month with news that the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) used its software to build the Curiosity Rover's critical flight software.
The company explains that from the inception of the NASA Mars Science Laboratory mission, static analysis has been used by NASA JPL as a key part of the code review process to ensure the success of one of the most complex missions ever undertaken by NASA and the reliability of one of the most complex machines ever sent into space.
NASA JPL developers use Coverity to test all of the software that controls the flight and onboard functions of the Curiosity Rover (over 2 million lines of code) to ensure that every software defect is found and fixed before launch.
NOTE: Curiosity is a car-sized land rover tasked with investigating whether Mars could have ever had environments conducive to life. Given the mission-critical nature of Curiosity, the software powering the rover must be reliable and free of software defects. A single defect could mean the difference between success and failure of the $2.5 billion NASA mission and impair its ability to assess the possibility of life on Mars.
"The use of Coverity technology in mission-critical projects with zero tolerance for error is a testament to our ability to quickly detect unpredictable and traditionally hard to spot software defects," said Jennifer Johnson, VP of marketing at Coverity. "We are honored to have been able to contribute to this significant scientific achievement and help NASA unlock the secrets of potential life on Mars."

Lebanon, Maine woman saves husband from burning SUV
State fire marshal's office investigating cause of fire
A Lebanon man suffered smoke inhalation early Thursday morning after his SUV caught fire in the driveway of his home on Tobacco Road.
The man's wife pulled him from his 2002 Chevy Blazer just before fire and rescue crews arrived at the home, according to Jason Cole, assistant chief of Lebanon Rescue.
The couple were not identified. The York County Sheriff's Department and the Maine State Police also responded to the incident, which is now under investigation by the Maine State Fire Marshal's Office, Cole said.
Cole said crews were called to the home just before 4:30 a.m. for a report of a car and possibly a house on fire. When crews arrived, Cole said, they found two vehicles on fire.
Cole said the man told rescue crews that he asleep in the Blazer when his wife pulled him from the burning vehicle. The man was initially not responsive when he was removed from the vehicle, Cole said. The man said the vehicle was not running at the time of the fire.
The man was evaluated for smoke inhalation but he refused to go to the hospital.

Swiss Automation sells to industries such as medical, defense, aerospace, hydraulic, electronic and pneumatic. It thrives by having the most up to date and technologically advanced equipment and employing and retaining experienced, knowledgeable, creative people who are good listeners and teachers.
Producing accurate parts, which goes hand-in-hand with quality consistency, is beneficial to the company as well, especially when performing an operation such as micro-drilling. According to the company, these collets help achieve consistent accuracy for this tricky operation.
Product availability is another concern for the company. Quick delivery and easy access to distributors is a must. "Even if one tool company does not have the Rego-Fix collet we are looking for, another distributor will have it," Ms. Malo explains. "We never have to wait for the product, nor do we have
to substitute."
In the past, the company used Rego-Fix sealing disk collets. But when metallic sealed collets made their debut in the market in 2007, Swiss Automation made the switch. Deciding which type of collet to use comes down to a company's personal preference, and Swiss Automation prefers the metallic sealed collets. "We've been using them ever since Rego-Fix came out with them, and they have made a big improvement for us," says shop foreman, Marc Moran.
After using both the sealing disk collets and the metallic sealed collets from Rego-Fix, the company has found quality consistency with both types of collets. Mr. Moran explains, "Both collet systems work well, but when it is time to change the collet, the switch is so easy with the high pressure (metallic sealed) collet because it is all one part. With the sealed disk, the seal can be wiped out by coolant pressure." Because the collet replacement is so simple, it saves the operator time as well.
Ms. Malo adds, "They (the metallic sealed collets) are a good alternative to the sealing disks, as the sealing disks require more maintenance and parts."
"On the sealing disk system, which was out long before the metallic seal, we have a special nut and sealing disk that snaps into the nut that locks the coolant in," explains David McHenry, product manager, Rego-Fix. "With this system, you have a nut and then a disk, so you have two parts you have to keep track of." A special nut and disk must be purchased for each size.
With the metallic sealed system, however, the collet is all one piece. "The collet itself seals the coolant and does all the work as far as keeping the coolant going through the cutting tool," Mr. McHenry says. The downfall is that when using this system, you don't have a full collet range. Other collets have about a 1-mm clamping range, but with this system, there is no clamping range or only a 0.5-mm range. "You end up needing more collets on hand to cover a clamping range," he adds.
Although the sealing disk system's disadvantage is that it contains more parts and therefore, more maintenance, its advantages include the fact that standard collets can be used (special collets are not necessary), and a wider clamping range is available.
According to Mr. McHenry, the sealing disks also offer a higher cleanliness factor. By design, the seals are in front of the collet, which keeps the collet itself cleaner in the case of machining hard materials that produce very small chips such as brass and graphite, he explains. "The open slots in the collet are exposed and the chips may pack in those slots and call for more cleanup between tool changes," Mr. McHenry says. However, if you are cutting aluminum and steel, this isn't a problem, he adds.
According to Mr. Moran, however, Swiss Automation machines many different types of metals, including hard materials, and it doesn't have an issue with chip cleanup. "We don't have to clean the collets because the coolant through keeps them clean," he explains.
By relying on Rego-Fix collets, Swiss Automation has held tight tolerances, which, in turn, results in quality consistency and high accuracy.
