Hope Solo is not the type of person to write anything other than a no-holds-barred, tell-all kind of autobiography. That is exactly what Solo: A Memoir of Hope, written with columnist Ann Killion of SportsIllustrated.com, delivers: a behind-the-scenes account of the good, the bad, and the ugly of Solo's challenging personal life and that of her many years as a goalkeeper for the US women's national soccer team.
Knowing that the release of such a life story might ruffle some feathers and be a distraction, national team coach Pia Sundhage asked her star keeper to delay the book's release until after this summer's London Olympics. Sundhage even was prepared to bench Solo if she didn't comply, according to an e-book epilogue to the memoir.
The post-Olympic release, as it turns out, has only enhanced public interest and helped it to become an immediate bestseller. Why? Because while the book ends with the US loss to Japan in the 2011 World Cup final, in London the American squad defeated Japan, 2-1, to win the gold medal – the ultimate hook for readership.
The game drew 80,000 spectators to Wembley Stadium and was watched by millions of viewers around the world. The afterglow continues as the team heads into the first of three post-Olympic matches in the US, beginning with a sold-out match Saturday (Sept. 1) against Costa Rica in Rochester, N.Y.
As anticipated, however, the "Memoir of Hope" has rocked some boats, including that of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," on which Solo appeared as a partner with professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy in 2011. In writing of her experiences on the show, she claims Chemerkovskiy handled her roughly and even slapped her once during a heated rehearsal. A possible lawsuit has been rumored, but Solo says she stands by her story, as she does by another episode related in the book about a confrontation that occurred with former national team coach Greg Ryan. The events surrounding the latter episode are some of the most emotionally charged in a book not lacking in this department. (It should perhaps be noted here that this is not an autobiography for the young and impressionable, especially given the liberal use of the "f" word.)
Solo and Ryan did not enjoy good relations in 2007, when Solo was the starting goalkeeper for the US World Cup team, but the relationship really deteriorated before a semifinal game against Brazil when Ryan told Solo he'd decided to replace her in goal with Briana Scurry. Solo did not take the news well. She objected to starting Scurry, who, though a veteran star of previous World Cup and Olympic teams, had seen little action playing behind Solo, who felt she was playing the best she'd ever played. When she stood up to leave, Ryan shoved her back down on the couch, or so she says. Ryan denies the accusation.
The situation grew worse after Brazil beat the US 4-0, handing the Americans their worst World Cup loss in history. When approached by an ESPN interviewer afterward, Solo said that playing Scurry was "wrong," among other terse comments.
The short interview caused tremendous pushback from her teammates, who felt she'd broken a team code by going public with her dissatisfaction. Solo found herself a pariah who was isolated and ostracized in various ways, including by being told she wouldn't be allowed to fly home from China with the team. She was even forced into making a formal apology.
A cloud hung over her career until Sundhage, a former star of the Swedish national women's team, was named to replace Ryan in 2008. The change provided Solo with a fresh start under a coach not beholden to golden oldie memories created by the '99ers, the American players, including Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain, whose victory in the 1999 World Cup lifted women's soccer to new heights.
The folk-singing new coach pulled out her guitar at her first team meeting to send the message that a new era was dawning. She strummed and sang the Bob Dylan lyric "For the times they are a-changin." She also told the players that they needed a goalkeeper and that forgiveness was expected of anyone who harbored resentment.
The team "stepped out of the shadows of the past" and established its own legacy by winning the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, then playing in a World Cup championship game for the ages in 2011, when Japan won on penalty kicks after the score was deadlocked in overtime. It was a spectacular effort by both teams, and although the US lost, Solo was presented the Golden Glove award as the tournament's best goalkeeper. That essentially conferred upon her status as the world's top goalkeeper as she approached her 30th birthday – nearly 17 years after she entered the Olympic development pipeline.
It was an immensely satisfying moment for a woman whose upbringing includes many trying moments and hardly fits the typical suburban soccer image. As a young girl, she lived in a tract house in Richland, Wash., a nuclear industry town east of the Cascades noted for having one of the most toxic waste sites in the country nearby.
Her mother, a karate black belt, worked at various times testing plutonium samples and as the first woman corrections officer at Walla Walla Penitentiary. Her dad's checkered life included several brushes with the law. He was imprisoned for embezzlement and was long a murder suspect who wasn't exonerated until after his death. After a breakup with his wife, he became homeless, lived in a tent in the woods, and made his "living" shoplifting.
Despite the heartache he caused his daughter and family, he never quit showering love and encouragement on his "Baby Hope," cheering her on wherever and whenever he could. That included at her youth league games and those at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Hope dedicates the book to her mother, who overcame a drinking problem, and who she calls "the true champion." But it's the love of her dad, through it all, that she says defines her. As she poured his ashes into the clear waters of the Cascades runoff in 2009, she whispered, "Thanks, Dad. You made me who I am" – tough, resilient, a fighter to the end.

Gesenius page showing how he actually used the Jupiter connection in favor of the pagan yahveh, placed on Pinterest by Nehemiah Gordon
"To give my own opinion, I suppose this word to be one of the most remote antiquity, perhaps of the same origin as Jovis, Jupiter, and transferred from the Egyptians to the Hebrews." Gesenius' Hebrew Chaldee Lexicon Old Testament Scriptures, translated by Tregelles, 1857, page 337. The words in brackets are the commentary of the translator.The Gesenius conjectural blunder opens up the Egyptian and Latin paganism theories for "Yahweh". It also is part of showing that Gesenius had little substance in his argumentation.[What an idea! God himself revealed this as his own name; the Israelites could never have received it from the Egyptians]...- Samuel Prideaux Tregelles, translator and commentary

An open letter from a dad to Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, Mike Jeffries
Open letter to Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, Mike Jeffries:
Dear Mr. Jeffries,
If you believe the adage "all press is good press," then the last 10 days have been great to you. You and your brand have been mentioned in unflattering terms on virtually every television news network, in many newspapers, websites and from one end of the blogosphere to the other.
You've taken quite a beating. If this were a heavyweight fight, your trainer would have already thrown in the towel and ordered your new teeth.
Why so many punches? A book by author Robin Lewis, "The New Rules of Retail," has breathed new life into an interview you gave to Salon in 2006. Hidden among your quotes we find this golden nugget: "In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong (in our clothes), and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."
Yes, I'd say that definitely qualifies as candid.
Let's be clear: I'm a capitalist and a free-market guy. I support your right to run your business however you'd like and to exercise your freedom of speech, whether I agree with it or not.
I also enjoy that same freedom. Mind if I share?
You have the right to keep the lights low at Abercrombie & Fitch. I have the right to say your stores are so dark, shoppers should get a Maglite with every purchase. You have the right to pipe fragrances into the air conditioning and heating systems. I have the right to tell you the scents are so strong, shoppers smell like they've been waterboarded with perfume.
How about the unrelenting, heavy-beat tunes? You're welcome to crank up the volume, by all means. But I'm free to tell you it's loud enough you should probably be sister companies with Beltone.
You're free to hire tan cool-kid models that also double as sales associates. I'm free to point out they're all so thin they don't need your clothes, they need a Pop-Tart. Most of them look like their legs could fit into the paper sleeve of a Pixy Stix.
Yes, you have the freedom in this country to run your business this way. You can reject plus-size clothing and the customers who buy them. What you cannot do, Mr. Jeffries, is tell us what's beautiful. Corporate America doesn't define beauty, the soul does.
I am the father of two teenage daughters and I think they're stunningly beautiful, no matter what size they wear. They're far from perfect, but they're lovely because of who they are and what they stand for, not for how they look. I hope most parents would say the same about their own kids.
Beauty isn't about waist size or what label we wear. Beauty is how we see people, serve people and love people. Beauty is demonstrated in the way we treat others, especially when we disagree with them or when they look different from us.
Mr. Jeffries, I'm sure you're a good man and you've achieved a great deal of success. I applaud you for that. But please don't tell America's young adults that beauty is in the brand.
Fads fade, but beauty is eternal.
Jason Wright, father of teenage girls

The Inequality President
The rich have done fine under Obamanomics, not so the middle class.
President Obama made his fourth or fifth, or maybe it's the seventh or eighth, pivot to the economy on Wednesday, and a revealing speech it was. We counted four mentions of "growth" but "inequality" got five. This goes a long way to explaining why Mr. Obama is still bemoaning the state of the economy five years into his Presidency.
The President summed up his economic priorities close to the top of his hour-long address. "This growing inequality isn't just morally wrong; it's bad economics," he...

In a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice William Brennan wrote this country has "a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials."
Kentucky legislators failed to honor that principle when they voted to allow elected school board members to evaluate the performance of school superintendents in secret.

Note: Choosing Urethane finish will delay your order if you do not have any other Urethane-finished frames in your original IndieGoGo pre-order.
Heirloom quality, hand made wood embroidery slate frame for fine hand embroidery, beading and cross stitch. These frames are made in the UK from European Beech, with Danish Oil and Urethane finishes applied for an extremely tough, hard wearing frame.
This frame has 800mm (33.75") long bars. This gives you a work area that is:
- 770mm (30.3") wide
- Adjustable from 474mm (18.6") to 764mm (30.0") long. Extra fabric length can be wrapped around the end bars.
- Adjustable in 5mm (0.2") increments
- This is a Large Frame - it is compatible with Side Bars and End Bars 600mm+ in size.
The slot in each end of the frame allows your work to be locked in place by the tension on the dowel as the fabric is stretched in the frame, no stitching is required. This process allows the fabric to be drum tight and stay tight throughout the stitching of your project. No readjusting is required once the work is laced with sufficient tension down the side bars. This is much faster than a traditional slate frame's lacing to webbing. It also has the advantage of keeping your fabric much flatter as the fabric exits the top/bottom bars at a very similar height to the top of the side bars.
Name/Message Engraving
To have a name or message engraved on this frame, please select the "Name or Message" option. Typically we use the "Great Vibes" font for engravings, other calligraphic fonts we have tried tend to have a poor "s" character in both capitals and lower case. You're welcome to specify any "free for commercial use" font you wish, however keep in mind that bolder fonts show up a lot better than narrower fonts. Font Squirrel is a great place to look at fonts, as all of them are free!
Logo/Graphic Engraving
You can also have a logo, picture or even full width artwork engraved by selecting the logo option for engraving, I'll work with you after the purchase to ensure your artwork is suitable. Any greyscale image or black and white image can be engraved. Keep in mind that the total height of the engraving is a maximum of about 18mm (just less than 3/4") - that being said, we can engrave a huge amount of detail in that height very accurately.
All holes are precision drilled with a computer controlled drill which ensures the frame will not be lopsided, and that the holes are exactly the same distance apart on both ends. The mortises for the side bars to fit through are also precision machined with just enough tolerance to allow for finish thickness, and the expansion of the wood at different humidity and temperature.
Tight fitting steel cotter pins are used rather than wooden dowels. These last much longer, are easier to find replacements for if you lose one, and are much less likely to fall out. The pins fit within the holes on the side bars snugly, so they will not fall out or vibrate loose during travel or long term storage. Each pin is hand ground so it's less likely to scratch your work surface or catch threads/fabric.
To protect the wood, several coats of Danish Oil are allowed to soak into and cure in the wood, which stabilises the wood and makes it much tougher to resist dents and marking as well as visually bringing out the grain. The danish oil cures for several weeks to ensure it is fully hardened. Next several coats of extremely hard urethane gloss coating is applied, typically used for high traffic outdoor wood floors. This coating prevents any oils on your hands, moisture or dirt from making its way into the wood and being transferred onto your fabric, as well as preventing discolouration/damage of the wood from UV light if the frame is left near a window. The danish oil and urethane coatings are applied in an industrial paint spray booth to greatly reduce the amount of dust and other particles trapped in the finishes.
These frames are made and finished to retain their quality through generations.
In short, your fabric must be narrower than the Working Area Width of the frame, usually by at least 30mm (1 ¼"). Your fabric can be longer than the length, however, if you're working with fragile threads (eg: Goldwork), beads (eg: Couture), or raised work (eg: Stumpwork) your project should fit within the maximum length.
All of our frames list their "working area" in the description, here's a direct comparison. The width is considered between the two Side (Stretcher) Bars and the length between the Top/Bottom (Roller) Bars.
Frame Size
|250mm (std)
|300mm (std)
|350mm (std)
|400mm (std)
|450mm (std)
|500mm (std)

so i heard this song and couldn't help the ache in my gut that this was a song written for me. or perhaps for those i love so hard that i already miss them. you know that feeling, yes? i know you probably do.
she is borrowed. my sister was not supposed to meet lillie kate. my dad hadn't met her, and i expected nothing less from lin. it was flattening, for sure. but jesus. she stuck around. and she stuck around for grae. and beyond all beyonds, she stuck around for esmé, too. and two weeks after esmé came - poof - she was stolen from all of us.
make no mistake: it was the very thought of esmé that kept her here longer. she knew that our dad hadn't met any of my babies, and it was like she had to be able to describe them to him the next time she saw him. for that, i'm forever grateful. the air leaves me every time i think of her heavenly baggage, but i thank her every time i gasp.
and i've forgiven that theft. i have. it shocks me still, but i've forgiven the loss.
yet esmé remains a shaking of my head enigma. she is the best of me with the heart of my sister and an inbred history that surprise me at every turn. how the hell does she know lin loved sweet and salty treats? icy water? kindness when it's way easier to be mean? pink grapefruit. red velvet. your smile. whatever you've chosen to wear today. whatever you choose to wear tomorrow.
man, lin. she loved it all. such a fucking loss. i mean it. the more time that passes, i feel like a crime was committed. i'd like to file a missing persons report. because, god damn it, i miss her.
how did esmé get here, i wonder. how did i win that lottery? how the heck did someone know i needed her like air? it was a favor, for sure. and i don't know who to pay back. seven years later and i'm still waiting for someone to tell me okay...she got you through the tough part...you're on your own again, karey. you can handle it. best of luck to you.
i digress. back to the song. and back to my borrowed esmé. i explained it all to grae and she cried. and for a second i felt bad about how their lives have made them feel so emotional and temporary. and then i was grateful. because life should be something over which we weep. it should cause panic over ohmygod is it over already?! it's an insane gift, isn't it? glad they're learning this earlier than some. earlier than i did, for sure.
i think we're all borrowed for a second or two. snatched back at any minute. and we should all be treated as such, yes?

The service was founded by Eric Bockmuller and Dan Klammer, two Cleveland-based designers "with a passion for elegant web creations," according to Techli. "We saw our friends and family trying to share things online — things they love or stories they want to tell — and realized what a struggle it was for them," Mr. Bockmuller says. "It seemed like something that should be really simple was so hard, so we decided to create Tackk." For those purposes, Techli says, "Twitter's too spare, Facebook's too crowded and creating a new blog is too time consuming." The story notes that the co-founders' designer background "is apparent when first visiting Tackk, which couldn't be any more straightforward." "Upon arriving at the website, a user will be presented with a mock-up post, broken down section-by-section with basic explanations, each of which are editable with a single click," according to Techli. "A post can be as basic or as complex as the user would like to make it, with options for pictures, text colors, backgrounds, and even clickable buttons. Posts can be made anonymously, and are aggregated on the Tackkboard — the heart of the service that's helping the founders discover how people are approaching Tackk."

Cleveland web designers try a different Tackk from Facebook, Twitter
Forbes.com reports that a Clevelander and another Ohioan were among 10 people charged on Wednesday in connection with a vending machine "business opportunity" scam, involving bulk candy vending machines, that defrauded thousands of victims across the country. The U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Miami. It alleges that managers, sales representatives and operators of "locating companies" associated with Multivend LLC, dba Vendstar, "made material misrepresentations about the profits that would be generated and the traffic attached to vending locations," according to Forbes.com. "During telemarketing calls, Vendstar's sales representatives allegedly falsely claimed to operate their own profitable vending machine businesses." Vendstar allegedly advertised nationwide in newspapers and on the Internet. If someone pursued any of the leads and reached the promoters, "Vendstar sales representatives purportedly promised to provide you with everything they needed to operate a successful business." Among the startup support promised: vending machines, an initial supply of candy, assistance in finding locations for the vending machines, and training. But Forbes.com notes that as a result of the alleged scam, investors' vending machines generated little business and Vendstar's customers lost nearly all, if not all, of their investments. The typical customer paid about $10,000 for the business opportunity. Among the named defendants are Edward Morris "Ned" Weaver, 39, of Perrysburg, Ohio, the president and CEO of Vendstar, and Wallace W. DiRenzo, 67, of Cleveland, who operated Nationwide Locating Co., which was based in North Palm Beach, Fla.
If you pay much attention to economic news, you won't be surprised to learn that the Federal Reserve's latest assessment of economic conditions in the Cleveland district is decidedly so-so. Here's how the Fed's Beige Book describes conditions in the Fourth District: Business activity expanded in the Fourth District since our last report, although the rate of growth remains modest. On balance, manufacturing output rose. In the real estate sector, nonresidential construction picked up, while reports on single-family housing starts were mixed. Sales of existing family homes increased. Retailers and auto dealers saw a modest improvement in sales during August and September on a year-over-year basis. Shale gas activity continued at a robust pace, while coal production fell below prior-year levels. The slowdown in freight transport volume, which began in the second quarter, has abated. And the demand for business and consumer credit moved slightly higher. " In other words, more of the same.
More Americans than ever "are choosing to forgo formal offices in favor of working from home," according to this story from TheAtlanticCities.com. The piece notes that the U.S. Census Bureau this month released data examining metro areas with the highest concentrations of people who work out of their home. The data found "increasing levels nationally and slight, but notable, geographic differences," according to TheAtlanticCities.com. Technologies such as Skype and DropBox make it easier than ever to be productive outside a traditional office. "Nationally, the number of workers responding that they worked exclusively at home increased by 1.8 percentage points (4.8 percent to 6.6 percent) from 1997 to 2010, according to the report," TheAtlanticCities.com notes. "Workers who reported that they worked at least one day per week at home increased from 7.0 percent in 1997 to 9.5 percent in 2010. Just under half of those who work at home were also self-employed, while a quarter were from management, business, and finance occupations." The story doesn't specifically mention the Cleveland market, but a map that's reproduced in the post puts Cleveland at about the national average. Boulder, Colo., at 10.9%, has the highest percentage of people who work at home. Other states with high levels of at-home workers are California, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Oregon.

Watch: 'The Loved Ones,' One of the Best Horror Movies in Years, Finally Has a Trailer for its Long Overdue US Release
I first saw The Loved Ones at SXSW 2010 and its perfect blend of dark humor and horror blew me - and the entire theater - away. I hadn't experienced a horror movie that purely entertaining in years and was convinced a smart US distributor would snap up this Australian gem about a prom night gone horribly wrong and get it in US theaters as soon as possible.
For whatever stupid reason, that didn't happen, because here we are over two years later. The stars of Sean Byrne's films made the trip to Hollywood (Xavier Samuel was in Twilight: Eclipse and Robin McLeavy is in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter), but the film itself still hasn't released Stateside. Thankfully that's about to change, albeit in a new way.
Back in February we brought you the first word of Tugg.com, a new company that enables audiences to bring the movies they want to their own local theater. The process is simple: A promoter at Tugg creates a screening, gets friends, family and strangers to commit to going, and once the ticket reserve has been met, Tugg steps in and arranges the booking with the theater. This is the route Paramount is going with their release of The Loved One in June.
Honestly, it's a bit of a bummer, because The Loved Ones is good enough to play in every multiplex across the country. But, sadly, the marketplace for smart, fun horror movies isn't nearly as big as it should be (the weak box office embrace of The Cabin in the Woods proves that), and so horror fans must once again do a little extra leg work to see the movies they want to see. But please trust me when I say The Loved Ones is worth that extra leg work. Just check out the trailer below for proof, and if it looks up your alley, head to Tugg to see how you can help bring this awesome film to your neck of the woods.

Gatineau is a former municipality in the Province of Quebec and the location of the oldest non-native settlement in the National Capital Region. It was founded on the north shore of the Ottawa River in 1800 by Philemon Wright at the portage around the Chaudière Falls just upstream (or west) from where the Gatineau and Rideau Rivers flow into the Ottawa. Wright brought his family, five other families and twenty-five labourers[3] and a plan to establish an agriculturally based community to what was a mosquito-infested wilderness. But soon after, Wright and his family took advantage of the large lumber stands and became involved in the timber trade. The original settlement was called Wrightstown, later it became Hull and in 2002, after amalgamation, the City of Gatineau.
In 1820, before immigrants from Great Britain arrived in great numbers, Hull Township had a population of 707, including 365 men, 113 women, and 229 children. Note the discrepancy in the number of men and women, owing to the male work of the timber trade. In 1824, there were 106 families and 803 persons. During the rest of the 1820s, the population of Hull doubled, owing to the arrival of Ulster Protestants. By 1851, the population of the County of Ottawa was 11,104, of which 2,811 lived in Hull Township. By comparison, Bytown had a population of 7, 760 in 1851. By 1861, Ottawa County now had a population of 15,671, of which 3,711 lived in Hull Township. The gradual move to the Township by French Canadians continued over the years, with the French Canadians growing from 10% of the population in 1850, to 50% in 1870, and 90% in 1920.[4]
The Gatineau River, like the Ottawa River, was very much the preserve of the draveurs, people who would use the river to transport logs from lumber camps until they arrived downriver. (The Gatineau River flows south into the Ottawa River which flows east to the St Lawrence River near Montreal.) The log-filled Ottawa River, as viewed from Hull, appeared on the back of the Canadian one-dollar bill until it was replaced by a dollar coin (the "loonie") in 1987, and the very last of the dwindling activity of the draveurs on these rivers ended a few years later.

A last minute primal push to somehow put together an advent calendar was the reason. I still plan on putting together some kind of nativity themed one, possibly out of fabric but that was not happening this year on such a short timeline. If anything, age has allowed me to be realistic about my abilities. That or I'm lazy. I think the former sounds a bit more sophisticated.
After scouring google images for inspiration and wasting way too much time overthinking it I settled on this nifty little tube pyramid. If you've ever gotten those single serving tubes of sour cream you'll recognize these. I bought a 50 page 8x8 scrapbook paper pad that had a rainbow of solid textured pages. Office labels stood in for a spot to write the number of each day.
This is pretty easy but in case you need pictures like I do, just wrap the sheet into a tube and glue with your new best friend the hot glue gun. Warning: Asbestos fingers are a blessing when doing this type of activity.
Turn the tube with the seam to the center back and then squeeze a line of hot glue along the top inch and squeeze shut.
The tube will now be squeezed only at the top. Place a number in the front of the tube and your advent units are ready for the next step.
So, after you've repeated the above 23 more times you've got a beautiful rainbow of tubes to fill.
This was the most time consuming part of the project. Coming up with a list of bible excerpts from the nativity story (Luke 2) and activities/crafts for each day. Hard because it meant being realistic and keeping things super simple in order to be able to follow through. Plus it's the holidays and I don't need additional stress. I kept the activities fun, short, simple and family friendly.
Just print the list and cut out a slip for each day.
Of course, after you've bought your child a pre-made advent calendar that dispenses chocolate each day there's just no turning back from that standard. I alternated between two of my nut-free favorites. I tucked in one piece for each child and on some days even one for Mr. Maricucu and me.
Fill a tube with one slip and the treats. These were pretty large tubes and you could definitely do a small toy instead of chocolate or even a small ornament as well.
Place a line of hot glue on the lower part and squeeze the tube shut in the opposite direction as the top part (aka perpendicular). That way you end up with a triangularish/pyramid shaped tube. If you use chocolate and your hot glue is pretty hot, let these cool upside down so the chocolate doesn't melt in contact with the hot glue.
Wash, rinse, repeat. You know, for someone that has done neutral colors for so long the birthday bunting and now this project have totally wet my appetite for bright, bright, shades.
I punched a hole at the top of each tube.
Then tied a short piece of ribbon to the punched hole. I'm going to use ornament hooks to hang them up. Now the big decision. Do I hang them on a piece of knotted ribbon on the mantel where the baby can swat at them repeatedly from her perch of the indoor climber or accept my reality and hang them from the tree which would mean hunting for one each day? Don't know yet and I don't even have my tree up so we'll see.

We can't say exactly is it worth of or is that only their a blind belief.
Some lucky numbers for Thai lotto are below
• A large Snake = 5
• A small Snake = 6
• A Car = 4
• A Rat = 1
So, these are some most popular and lucky numbers for the Thai lotto game.
Thailand Lottery – Legal or Illegal?
1. The Legal Way:
Thailand lottery is only two of the legal sort of gambling in Thailand. The second sort of gambling, that is legalized by the Thai government is horse riding.
Lottery's rules and regulations decided by the Government Lottery Office is formerly known as GLO. Lottery draw comes two times in a month, first on the 1stof the month and second is 16th of the month.
Despite the payout ratio is very opposed and winning chances are quite low, the number of people is very high who plays the lotto game regular.
According to the Wanchai Boonpracha, the Secretary of Family Network Foundation, Thai people are spending more than 76 Billion Baht equal to approx. US$2.3 billion yearly on the lottery.
Out of 19.2 of 67 million Thais are currently playing lotto every month.
2. The illegal Way
Besides the legal and famed Thai lotto, there is another face of the coin. This is the illegal sort of Thai Lotto. The government has nothing to do with it; the winning amount comes from third-party local dealers. This is pure gambling indeed. How it works, let me explain:
Although the government lottery is not included in it directly but indirectly, it is. People bids on every draw of Thailand lottery, the bid puts upon the winning result number, suppose if this month the number "123456" has won, then the person who has bided on it will win the money by third-party dealers.
You have to bid some numbers if those numbers come in the lottery's result, then here you win. Let me more simplify it.
You will win if:
• Your bid exactly matches the last three numbers of lottery's result. Win 500 Baht/ 1 baht wagered.
• Your bid matches last three digits in any sequence. Win 90 Baht/ 1 baht wagered
• Your bid match the last two digits in exact sequence. Win 1000 Baht/ 12 baht wagered
Thai Lottery Game – Winning Cash Ratios
Some of the most popular lottery and jackpots are,
• NY Lottery (New York Lottery)
• US Mega Millions
• Euro Millions
• Loteria de Navidad
• Powerball Australia
• La Primitiva Spain
Like all the above bingos, Thailand lottery is the famed similar way and is passionately played by Thais.
The game of Thai lottery surrounds the entire of Thailand. Prizes are distributed from the Government of Thailand. The payout ratio for the winnings are as less as 60%, compared to the world's top popular games, whereas it is
• 98% for blackjack
• 89% for slot machines
• 81% for horse-racing
• 74% for Bingo
In addition, the 40% deduction is divided into following
• 12% Local Ticket Sellers or Public Venders
• 3% for foundation and associations
• 2% wholesale ticket sellers
• 3% for social works
The wholesale price of a ticket is 68 Baht. Moreover, the street ticket sellers bought the ticket in 70 Baht.
Thai Lottery Ticket
Thai lottery tickets are sold in pairs and have two types.
1. The number one is TGL, which refers to the Thai Government Lottery.
2. The second one TCL, which refers to Thai Charity Lottery as well.
Pair of tickets have the same lottery number printed on them, which means if you will win the lottery then the price will be double.

I was pleased to see that so many of you found our Web site valuable last year. During 2007, the traffic to our site continued to increase. The two areas with the most traffic were our news stories and our how-to articles in the Step by Step department. However, I was also pleased to see that the blog, which we started at the beginning of last year, was so popular, particularly when the editors blogged about some of the major trade shows and conferences that we attended.
Many of you also took time to listen to the podcasts we added last year. The audio interviews with our Executive Insights column participants (including Carl Liebert of 24 Hour Fitness and Geoff Dyer of Lifestyle Family Fitness) were accompanied by full transcripts.
This year, we will add more information to our statistics page, and we are planning other additions that we'll share with you later. We are doing our best to make the site as valuable to you as possible. If you have suggestions for our Web site, please contact me at email@example.com.

I'd like to welcome two new editorial advisory board members to the magazine this year. Bill McBride, COO of Club One in San Francisco, is replacing Jill Kinney, also of Club One. We are also adding an expert from the university fitness side. Gene C. Grzywna, director of campus recreation, department of athletics and recreation at Northeastern University in Boston, is also new to the board. We look forward to all the knowledge that these new advisors will add to the publication.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all babies be exclusively breastfed for the first six months, but according to the CDC in Kentucky, only 58 percent of babies are ever breastfed, and only 12 percent of babies are exclusively breastfed at 6 months. Part of the reason that breastfeeding rates are so low is that women often do not grow up seeing other women breastfeed.

The new Hayes Native American Studies Center at East Central University, decorated with a variety of American Indian art, has become the new "hub" for all activities related to ECU's new native studies program.
An overflowing crowd of community, faculty, staff and American Indians crowded into Horace Mann recently to witness the dedication of the center, which serves as a student lounge during scheduled hours, a meeting place for the ECU Native American Student Association, class space for a new native studies minor, a location for joint courses with the Chickasaw Nation and other related needs.
"Nearly 20 percent of our students are Native American, "said Dr. Bill Cole, former ECU president. "The new native studies minor that accompanies the center is already one of the fastest growing programs on campus. We value our collaboration with the Chickasaw Nation and are proud to have this facility to meet the needs of our students and the community."
The idea for the Hayes Center arose from numerous discussions with ECU administrators, tribal officials and students. The center has been generously supported by the Chickasaw Nation.
"We expect to continue to see great things come from our partnership with East Central University," said Chickasaw Nation Gov. Bill Anoatubby. "They have shown unparalleled foresight and commitment to advancing knowledge of Native American culture and other fields of inquiry through this center, the Clemente classes, the native studies minor and other native studies projects."
The center named in honor of Amos H. Hayes and Daniel Hayes. Amos Hayes was a prosperous local businessman, Chickasaw Lighthorseman, tribal county judge, Chickasaw legislator and ethnographic informant to the Smithsonian Institution. His nephew, Daniel Hayes, donated the land on which ECU is located.
"The center is a place to recognize and celebrate the rich contributions that American Indians have made, and continue to make, to this university, the much larger community, and our shared history," said Dr. Thomas Cowger, ECU professor of history who holds the Chickasaw Nation Endowed Chair and is the director of the Native Studies Program.
Cowger credited Cole and Anoatubby for their foresight in creating the new center that in essence blends the best resources of ECU and the Chickasaw Nation.
"This center is, and will be, of immeasurable value to current and future students," he continued, "and its legacy and lasting impact will be felt throughout ECU, the Chickasaw Nation, Oklahoma, and elsewhere.
"While ECU has long understood its mission," he said, "the Chickasaw Nation has also long understood and valued education, and this is just one more important example of that."
Current interns in the minor have received firsthand training working in various departments at the Chickasaw Nation and other local tribes. Some of the program's recent graduates now work at major metropolitan newspapers and some are enrolled in graduate school or law programs.
Dr. Alvin Turner, dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, said, "We're really carving a niche right now, but we can continue to build and do more as we go along."
He predicted that it will not be long before ECU offers a major in native studies. Turner, who was emcee for the dedication, said the dedication was one of his proudest moments in more than 30 years in academia.
Students in the new minor and members of the Chickasaw Nation also have the opportunity to participate in the Chickasaw Clemente courses. The courses are named after baseball Hall of Famer and model humanitarian Roberto Clemente.
Sociologist Earl Shorris created the Clemente courses as a means for underserved individuals to empower themselves by studying the humanities and culture in a comparative fashion. Students of the class learn what it means to be American Indian and Chickasaw by exploring western civilization and Chickasaw art, music, poetry, language, culture, written and oral history, education, environment, family patterns, law and government.
While Shorris developed the idea, it was Lona Barrick, Chickasaw division administrator of arts and humanities, who brought the concept to ECU.
"Lona deserves all the credit for the successful program," Cowger said. "She is a tremendous advocate for the arts and humanities, supporter of our programs, and friend to ECU," he said.
Dr. Michael Hughes of ECU currently teaches the Clemente courses.
Both the new center and native studies program have already hosted the first powwow at ECU in more than 25 years and brought numerous recognized individuals and performers to the campus.
"Now that the new center is dedicated and the native studies program is well underway," Cowger said, "the best is yet to come."

In the week following the Sept. 11 attacks, Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette attended religious services at both a Jewish synagogue and an Islamic mosque. Her visit to Temple Emanuel coincided with our Rosh Hashanah services, which are very well attended, and Rabbi Steve Foster, the spiritual leader of the congregation, welcomed her publicly and made a point of telling everyone in attendance that she was attending the mosque that week as well.

Wishlist/Determine Position
From Openmoko
Determine Position
GPS can be used to determine the position with a fair accuracy.
GPS requires you to be able to see the GPS satellites. If you are in a tunnel or on a subway this will not work.
Absence of GPS - Accelerometers
Another way that might be considered to determine your position is using inertial navigation. If you know the position, speed and orientation precisely at a given time and you know all the accelerations and rotations done since that time you can compute the current location.
You need both accelerometers, and gyroscopes to determine your position by this method. Even disregarding budget, the current devices available are not good enough for this for any more than very short periods (seconds). See Accelerometer Fundamentals for more details.
[1] is the datasheet for an example of the sort of accelerometer that might be put into the neo.
Accelerometers have a certain amount of noise.
This noise gives you severe positioning errors. An error of only a thousandth of a G gives an uncertainty of velocity of 10mm/s after a second, 1.2m/s after 2 minutes. This is 80m after 1 minute, 8Km after 10 minutes. The integrated gyroscopes are around as bad, and drift typically at degrees per minute.
Accelerometers have also been utilized creatively doing:
- drop detection
- over-engineered pedometers. Nokia have 'sports' mobiles with this feature.
- automatic wakeup
Absence of GPS - OBD-II interface
If the accelerometers are not accurate enough, there is another method which could be used in a car. The phone could interface itself (e.g. via bluetooth) to a "scan tool" connected to the OBD-II interface of the car. See Carman.
So, at least an user that has such a scan tool, could enable a useful feature.
From the OBD-II interface I think one could obtain the speed of the car quite accurately. The direction could be a problem though. Even a gyroscope in the phone could not suffice. But having a map of the streets, and supposing that the driver does not do a u-turn in a tunnel, a quite good guess could be done in absence of GPS signal.
Kalman filter
What about using something like Kalman filter to use both gps and accelerometers and get some more precision?

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
Next up is the mother/daughter duo of Laura and Ciera. Laura says she was the 3rd juror in Survivor Samoa and I suppose I'm forced to believe her. Better yet, I can actually go back through the annals of this little bloggy blog and see what I thought of Laura way back when for Survivor Samoa was the first season I ever blogged. Did I give Laura a nickname? Did I like her? Did I exchange witty Facebook messages with her? Let us find out.
*digs through the Survivor archives*
I did give her a nickname. *smiles* And it's a good one. You ready? Medusa! I am unable to find out why I gave her that nickname, but I did find a quote from my beloved Shambo that pretty much explains it all... "Laura is the head viper. She's the viper queen. She's the evil demon. She's the beast." Works for me! Thanks Shambo.
All that is left to do now is to see if Ciera is the viper princess. Please to enjoy:
Medusa is going to be a handful. As for Ciera, I can't get much of a read on her because Mommy hardly gave her permission to speak. I think I'd like to see Ciera venture out on her own and make alliances Ole Snake Head disapproves of. Let's have Blood vs. Water be Ciera's Rumspringa, a hedonistic romp that would even make a snake blush. Perhaps Medusa will lock Ciera into a makeshift cage to contemplate her dirty pillows. I can't wait!
So, what do you think of Medusa and Ciera? Will Tommy invite Ciera to the prom? Comment it out bitches and have a great day!

I am not a bitch, yet I shall indeed comment.ReplyDelete
Thank God another season of Survivor is here, and for the next 86 weeks we shall be visited with some flash flooding, overwhelming tsunamis, and wrecking cyclones *gasps* The drought has been damn too long!
No matter the devastation, we are quite content it is all worth it. If he wants to, Dimples can sign up to be a bartender for dracula, mixing blood and water; Collette can dip her boobs in glitter and then hallucinate about gin and water; we are satisfied with savouring every flavour of this blog with some red wine under the full moon. Let the games begin, and may the odds run from you!!!

I remember Laura. She was indeed some Medusa but her evil powers were not enough for her to contain lucifer (Russell Hantz). Let's wait and see if her evil powers have grown. Ciera may just be the viper battery, to turbo charge mum when powers wane. LolReplyDelete

The Health Law Rollout
The 2010 Affordable Care Act is a huge law that confuses most Americans. This page is designed to make it easier to follow it as it takes effect.
Health Law Rollout
- Prescribed: A Personalized Tour of 'Obamacare'
- Q&A: How the Law Affects You
- The Myths: Separating Fact From Fiction
- States' Role in Health Law Rollout
- Basic Facts, by Sector: Insurers | Employers | Doctors | Hospitals | Drug Industry | Device Industry
- Document: Affordable Care Act
- Complete Coverage: Health Law Rollout
The main purpose of the law is to create a near-universal system of health insurance for the country. About 30 million Americans – roughly two-thirds the nation's uninsured – are expected to gain coverage under the law.
There are a number of ways they'll get it. Americans in most states earning up to just above the poverty level – anywhere up to $32,500 a year for a family of four – next year will be able to enroll in Medicaid, a federal-state program that has long covered the poor and will grow larger under the law.
For those earning between $29,440 and $117,600 for a family of four annually, the law will provide a sliding scale of government subsidies towards the cost of buying health insurance if they don't get it from their employer next year. These consumers will be directed to buy private plans through health insurance exchanges run by states or the federal government.
Find Your State's Health-Insurance Exchange
No matter how much you earn, if your employer doesn't provide your health insurance, you can use these exchanges to shop for a health plan starting in October. These marketplaces will work like popular travel sites and allow you to compare plans side-by-side based on their price and the generosity of their coverage.
With all this comes a requirement that most Americans carry insurance or pay a penalty that starts at $95 a year in 2014. Larger employers, too, will have to pay a fine, starting in 2015, if they don't offer workers a set level of health coverage considered to be affordable.
Under this new system, insurance companies will not be allowed to deny people based on their medical history, and they'll have less room to vary their insurance rates. Carriers have to include a set range of health benefits in plans, cover preventive care services without any out-of-pocket costs for the consumer, allow parents to include adult children on their plans up to their 26th birthdays and cannot cap payouts.
Medical providers face changes, too. Hospitals will lose some federal funds for treating large numbers of uninsured patients, and drug companies have to offer rebates to seniors to help them with the cost of prescription drugs. Hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes will be levied on health companies in order to foot the bill for the expanded insurance coverage.
The law has a secondary aim of reducing the growth of health-care costs, but even supporters of the overhaul say it falls short in that area. The small steps in that direction include rules that force insures to spend a certain portion of revenue on medical care, and hospital reimbursements tied to performance incentives.
Want to know more? Read on for answers to the most common questions about the law, and a deeper dive into what the law means for employers, health companies and states.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Bryce Bayer, a retired Kodak scientist and the inventor of a widely used color filter array that bears his name, has died. He was 83.
Bayer of Brunswick, Maine, died Nov. 13, a spokeswoman for Direct Cremation of Maine confirmed Friday. The cause of death wasn't released.
His Bayer filter was patented in 1975 and is incorporated into nearly every digital camera and camera phone, Rochester, N.Y.-based Kodak said in a 2009 press release announcing Bayer's receipt that year of the Royal Photographic Society's Progress Award.
"The elegant color technology invented by Bryce Bayer is behind nearly every digital image captured today," Dr. Terry Taber, Kodak's chief technology officer, said at the time.
The filter allows devices to capture color images with a single sensor.
Bayer also developed widely cited processes for storing, improving and printing digital images before retiring from Kodak in the mid-1990s.

High-End Retailers Market Made in USA Clothing
(NEW YORK) -- High-end retailers are trying to remind shoppers again that wearing clothes made in the United States is hip. Apparel company Club Monaco is launching an exclusive line this week that might appeal to the inner patriotism of consumers.
Club Monaco, owned by Polo Ralph Lauren, announced this week the launch of an exclusive men's "Made in the U.S.A." collection in its stores in New York City's storied Fifth Avenue and its near-equivalent in Toronto, Canada, on Bloor Street.
Of course, Club Monaco is not the only manufacturer to have clothing made in the country. Jean company Wrangler, owned by apparel company VF Corporation, is the largest employer in Hackleburg, Ala., though it also has factories outside the U.S. Wrangler announced it is rebuilding its U.S. plant that was destroyed by a tornado in April.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 154,700 apparel manufacturing jobs in the country as of September. According to New York State's Department of Labor, there were 19,823 apparel manufacturing jobs in New York State last year, compared with 65,182 of those jobs in 2000.
Women's fashion designer, Nanette Lepore, has long advocated for popular and mass designers to base their manufacturing and respective jobs in the country instead of outsourcing to so-called cheaper alternatives in countries like China.
A report from consulting firm Boston Consulting Group in August reported that China's manufacturing cost advantage over the U.S. will end "within five years" in part due to rising Chinese wages, higher U.S. productivity, and a weaker dollar.
The Made in U.S.A. label has attracted some criticism however, with some clothing manufactured in U.S. commonwealth Saipan and Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands permitted to carry such labels.
Lepore has been a part of the Save the Garment District campaign to preserve the apparel factories in New York City. Lepore said it was "fantastic" that Club Monaco is experimenting with a collection made in the country and hopes other designers take note.
"I can produce things in the country at around the same price at a greater quality," Lepore said. "It's great to work in America because we have better control of quality and the factory. We are in there two or three times a day watching everything."
The other advantages include understanding worker conditions, promoting middle class jobs, decreasing the carbon footprint and having quicker speed to market if something is selling well.

Back on the road, Obama to push immigration reform
When President Obama hits the stage at Del Sol High School in Las Vegas today to talk about immigration reform, he'll be employing a tactic that he's made standard practice: Rallying public support for a challenging policy agenda.
This time, however, the situation is a bit different: Unlike issues such as health care reform or tackling the deficit, the subject of immigration reform has lately inspired a significant level of cooperation and agreement. A group of eight senators yesterday unveiled a blueprint for comprehensive immigration reform legislation that they called "a major breakthrough."
- Is now the time for immigration reform?
- Immigration proposal a "major breakthrough," senators say
- Poll: Most support letting working illegal immigrants stay in U.S.
While the Senate seemingly one-upped the president, releasing their plan before his event today, its proposal sits on shaky ground. There are still a number of Republicans opposed to the idea of "amnesty" for illegal immigrants, and even those who want to create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented residents could very easily get bogged down in the details. If the Senate's plan falls apart, Mr. Obama will be ready to step in with his own legislative outline, administration officials tell CBS News.} }
Mr. Obama today will lay out his vision for immigration reform -- a vision he laid out in a major immigration speech in El Paso, Texas in May 2011. The blueprint introduced by the "group of eight" in the Senate is, in fact, very similar to the president's plan. Most critically, both lay out a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
The president plans to make the case today that the Senate should act quickly, and he plans to address the Latino community specifically, according to administration officials. The latest CBS News poll shows that voters are increasingly on his side: 51 percent of Americans think undocumented immigrants working in the U.S. should be able to stay and apply for citizenship, up from 14 points since September 2011. Another 20 percent of Americans now say undocumented immigrants should stay as guest workers.
Yesterday, the White House credited the growing support for a pathway to citizenship -- among the public and in the Senate -- to Mr. Obama's efforts. Work on immigration reform is happening now, White House spokesman Jay Carney said, "because a consensus is developing in the country, a bipartisan consensus. And it's happening because the president has demonstrated significant leadership on this issue when the effort to achieve comprehensive immigration reform did not succeed in 2010, this president continued to press for it."
Today in Las Vegas, Mr. Obama will have some of his strongest political allies backing his message. Close to 20 labor union leaders, along with working families and community partners, are holding their own even to press for reforms. "This moment calls for this president to step out boldly on this issue," NAACP President Ben Jealous, who is working with labor unions on immigration, told reporters yesterday.
Given the strained relations between the White House and Congress, and between Democrats and Republicans, some lawmakers' first instinct may be one of distrust any deals that materializing, especially if the president tries to stake out ownership of it.
"We are not going to just rubber stamp what the president of the United States has just decided," Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said on the Senate floor yesterday. "We do need to ask some serious questions about any proposal, and maybe we can work forward with some legislation that would serve the national interest, maybe we can do it on a bipartisan basis, but it's going to take real attention to details, the details is what makes the difference and that is what I'm concerned about."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., similarly said in a statement, "This effort is too important to be written in a back room and sent to the floor with a take-it-or-leave it approach. It needs to be done on a bipartisan basis and include ideas from both sides of the aisle." McConnell said he hoped the president today would endorse a "bipartisan approach rather than delivering another divisive partisan speech."
Even Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., one of the senators in the "gang of eight" that's building the bipartisan blueprint, said last week on the Mark Levin radio show that "there's no such thing as an honest policy disagreement with the left anymore. If you disagree with them, you're a bad person." Still, Rubio and the rest of the "gang of eight" said they're more optimistic than ever that a comprehensive deal will be reached.

As the Supreme Court weighs the merits of allowing gay and lesbian Americans the freedom to marry, right-wing anti-equality advocates are cranking the fearmongering up to 11, claiming that a world of marriage equality is one that would functionally ban Christians from practicing their religion.
Two Fox News contributors, independently and in other outlets, made dire predictions along these lines. Todd Starnes, speaking on American Family Radio, argued that "persecution [of Christians] like we have never seen it" had "already started" as a consequence of the marriage equality movement:
STARNES: You know, it's as if we're second-class citizens now because we support the traditional, Biblical definition of marriage, or perhaps we are pro-life, and that means we're somehow second-class citizens who don't deserve to be in the public marketplace of ideas.In reality, every piece of marriage equality legislation that's been passed around country has included legal exemptions preventing clergymembers and religious institutions from being forced to provide marriage-related services to LGBT Americans. Indeed, as a recent a CAP report shows, these exemptions have become increasingly broad as marriage equality advances, suggesting more, not less, sensitivity to the views of religious opponents of same-sex marriage.
RIOS (HOST): Absolutely. In fact, it'll be worse than that. You know there's going to be punishment. There will be tremendous punishment. If gay marriage is embraced by the country, if the Supreme Court goes south this week in its hearings, we are in for – of course, we're not going to hear about it until June – but we are in for persecution like we have never seen it.
STARNES: Well, it's already started.
Another Fox News contributor, Erick Erickson, went further. Writing on RedState, a conservative blog that's commonly read by Republican legislators, Erickson fantasized about a world where the United States government — with a Congress that is roughly 80 percent Christian — began terrorizing Christian institutions, shuttering Christian businesses for opposing marriage equality, and labeling Christians themselves criminals:
Any Christian who refuses to recognize that man wants to upend God's order will have to be driven from the national conversation. They will be labeled bigots and ultimately criminals…Once the world decides that real marriage is something other than natural or Godly, those who would point it out must be silenced and, if not, punished. The state must be used to do this. Consequently, the libertarian pipe dream of getting government out of marriage can never ever be possible.Erickson here is arguing for a broad-based license to discriminate against LGBT Americans. Other than the wedding case addressed above, Erickson's examples aren't situations where freedom of conscience or freedom to worship in the way your religion dictates are at stake. Rather, he's asking that schools and businesses, two of society's most basic institutions, be given carte blanche to discriminate against gay parents or patrons merely because they're gay. It's the difference between the freedom to be racist and the freedom to kick black people out of your store for being black — and there's a reason why society protects the former but punishes the latter.
Within a year or two we will see Christian schools attacked for refusing to admit students whose parents are gay. We will see churches suffer the loss of their tax exempt status for refusing to hold gay weddings. We will see private businesses shut down because they refuse to treat as legitimate that which perverts God's own established plan. In some places this is already happening.
