« ISDE5 Day 1 Summary - Met Stefan Geens, Michael Jones Talks | Main | ISDE5 Day 2 Summary »

Google Earth More Realistic with Better Terrain
There was a lot of news last week from Google. Much of the news had to do with Google Maps, APIs, KML search, and KML support on other platforms. However, this past weekend Google released an enormous amount of new imagery all over the world. But, even more significant in my opinion, was the release of new high resolution 3D terrain, or digital elevation model (DEM) data. The new data is 10-meter resolution. Google Earth's terrain data mostly comes from NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission which is at best 30 meter and sometimes 90 meter in resolution. This means Google Earth's data for the western US and the Canaries is now three to nine times higher than before.
What does this mean? This means when you tilt your view in Google Earth while looking at the new data (using your middle mouse button, the slider in the top right, or your SpaceNavigator), you are seeing terrain features which more closely resemble reality. Also, since the terrain is more accurate, the satellite/aerial photos taken from above stretches over the terrain more accurately. This means the scenery looks much better. Those of you who are familiar with the western mountains should try it out. Two better-known examples: the Grand Canyon of Arizona and the Grand Tetons in Wyoming are good places to start.
Google had previously released high resolution terrain for the Swiss Alps (see a fly-through video). I'm expecting they will be adding more parts of the world with this 10 meter data as well. I've asked Google if they can share a map showing what regions the new data covers. Does anyone know where they are getting this data?
There are people interested in seeing higher resolution terrain for their countries in GE. See this execellent illustration of why high resolution terrain is important by Christian Sam who posted it at GEC. It uses a time animation to "extrude" high resolution terrain in a small area of Austria.
Enviado por FrankTaylor at 6 de Junio 2007 a las 10:04 AM
It's great to get higher resolution terrain. But, that just makes the mis-alignment with the imagery more apparent. Look at Half Dome in Yosemite to see how sad that magnificent rock looks when you tilt the view.
I just love these improvements in both imagery and terrain. Now I'd like to see some method for matching the two so that a river, for example, is at the bottom of a canyon instead of on the side wall. I'd like to see some way that the user community could get involved in this effort.
Enviado por: Ernie at 6 de Junio 2007 a las 11:05 AM
The 10m elevation should be the USGS 10-m Digital Elevation Model data that covers much of the United States. I was involved with paying for the development of a small part of it for California, and it was vast improvement over the 30-m data that had previously been available. For GIS types, the data are available at http://seamless.usgs.gov/ for download & processing.
Enviado por: MIGIS at 6 de Junio 2007 a las 11:26 AM
This really was a significant upgrade for elevation. I admit I've wondered for a while how long it'll be to pull the NED data in - since it's been there for a while at USGS.
I guess what I'm keeping an eye on now, is Intermap's European coverage at sub-meter, and what occurs after June 15th, when TerraSAR-X launches. It'll be a little while before collections are tested and the data will be available - but we're getting close to several launch dates that'll inject a little something into the industry again.
In regards to re-registering the existing imagery, Ernie - I'm not sure it'd be a good idea to get everyone in the user-community involved with that process. The lower-resolution datasets are generally going to have some amount of offset tolerance, so it's expected with higher-res elevation. That's not to say that problematic areas or even regions of interest can't be rubber-sheeted or auto-ortho'd to the DEM. Just that I think they'd be better off focusing on high-resolution imagery to counter the offsets instead. (Just an opinion.)

The Potential Risks and Benefits of Accepting a Plea Bargain
When facing criminal charges, your criminal defense attorney might approach you with a plea bargain offer from the court. You have the right to think about the plea bargain and decide whether to accept or reject it. Both options have potential risks and benefits. As you make this decision, it will be very important to weigh these risks and benefits before making your decision. Here are some tips to help you with this.
Always Ask Your Lawyer for Advice
The first thing to understand about criminal charges is you should never try to handle them on your own. You need a criminal defense lawyer for help, and your lawyer will help you fully understand what the plea bargain is, what it means, and how it can affect you. When the court makes the offer, you will benefit most by discussing it with your lawyer. Keep in mind that your lawyer knows the legal system, and you should typically follow the advice your lawyer gives when it comes to accepting or rejecting a plea bargain.
Understand the Potential Risks and Benefits of Accepting or Rejecting the Plea Bargain
One thing the attorney will talk to you about is the risks and benefits of accepting the plea bargain. If you accept it, you are taking one big risk. If you decide to go through a criminal trial, the court may find you innocent of the charges. Therefore, the risk of accepting the plea is that you will not have the chance to see if the court finds you innocent.
The benefit of accepting the plea bargain is that the court will offer you a reduced charge or a lighter punishment. If you go through the trial and the court finds you guilty, you will face a more severe charge and a harsher punishment for it. If you are stuck with the original charges on your record, it could hurt you in the future. This may prevent you from getting a good job, and it may stop you from doing other things you want to do.
Facing criminal charges can be scary and overwhelming, and this is why it is vital to hire a good criminal defense attorney, especially if the court handling your case offers you a plea bargain in exchange for a guilty plea. If you need an attorney to help you with your case, try searching for criminal defense attorneys like http://santoreandsantorelawtn.com or look for an experienced attorney in your area.

Torch Day
"The time for words is through, gentlemen. Each one of you has preached to the world about the Founding Fathers." His voice dropped to a whisper. "Now it's time to be one."
With that, the shadowy militia leader known as "The Commander" rallies militia groups from across the nation for an all-out assault on Washington D.C. Joining them is outlaw hacker Jeff Barnett, who has brought his diabolical skills to a dangerous new playground. His first target: the President of the United States.
FBI agents Harry Harper and Ellen King go undercover to try to derail their plans, but when Harry's cover is blown, he finds himself chained to a mysterious suitcase whose contents could reshape the future of America.
As Harry, the deadly suitcase, and the militia squads race towards D.C., Ellen has to dodge rogue elements in the FBI that are trying to kill her. Going underground, she rallies a select group of FBI agents to help her find Harry and stop the militia forces — before everything explodes on Torch Day.
Praise for TORCH DAY

The Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show
September 22 - 23, 2012
Dallas Convention Center
These are some of the Marketplace Exhibitors:
Lemon Cake Cafe
Houston, TX 77055
(281) 841-3782
Their lemon cakes are made with freshly squeezed lemon juice and all natural ingredients: fresh eggs, butter, milk, vanilla, and sugar. They are super moist and stay fresh for weeks without refrigeration. I bought one home for my parents. :)
Enstrom Candies
Almond Toffee (Milk & Dark Chocolate) I bought a few small boxes of the Dark Chocolate Almond Toffee for my co-workers.
Custom Cafe Foods
They sell quick and easy dry mixes of gourmet soups, quick breads, savory dips, muffins and specialty drinks. We tried their pumpkin dip with ginger snaps. YUM!
Texas Toffee Queen
They had some interesting flavors such as White Chocolate Mango Chili, Dark Chocolate Salted Blood Orange, Dark Chocloate Salted Jalapeno. All pretty good!
Fat Sister Southern Foods
They had some various pancake samples. The texture seemed ok but was kind of salty?? Definitely needed maple syrup. I think I tried the pumpkin pancake.
Texas Best Fudge? Not sure if that's the actual name of the business. But the fudge was super rich!
Quintessential Chocolates
251 West Main Street
Fredericksburg, TX 78624
American-made Liqueure Praline (cast liquid center chocolates) These chocolates were pretty awesome. The outer shell is really thin and there's liquid on the inside. I tried the Southern Pecan Coffee. You let the chocolate melt in your mouth. Then suddenly it pops and you taste the liquid inside. They have coffee, chai, liqueurs, etc. A really neat experience. It was quite expensive though so I didn't buy any.
d'marie inc.
We tried the Frappe Vino. It's like a sweet wine slush. Soooo good. Neither my friend or I like wine, but we both loved it. I was very tempted to buy one. You buy the kit. And just combine wine, water, the mix and stick it in the freezer. Then a few hours later you have a frappe! Very cool party thing.
"Easy Chocolates for Home Entertaining" by Sue Williams
Dr. Sue's Chocolates
I've had Dr. Sue's Chocolates before. They are awesome! She will be doing a workshop and have a booth at the Chocolate Conference in Addison this coming Saturday, 9/29. I'll be helping her out during the day. Come by and visit us!! :)
Finally to the main attraction! Paula Deen!!!!! OMG. So star-struck. I watch Paula's show on Food Network daily. She's so much fun and of course her food is always so sinfully good! To see her in person was a bit surreal. She's so energetic and bubbly and extremely real. I found that really awesome. She didn't try to be scripted or proper, she was just herself and it was great. Her husband, Michael, and his brother came along too. They were all on stage helping with the cooking. They are just too cute together! And they brought their newest addition: Lulu! So cute!
I never knew she was THAT funny! The crowd laughed A LOT! I love her even more after seeing her in person. She's just a burst of sunshine and full of positivity and hope. She told us she hoped we would remember her not as the person that loved butter, but as someone that inspires hope. I could really tell that she cared about her fans and the people that can relate to her with the whole diabetes thing. It was a great presentation by Paula Deen.
The food became secondary. (She made Chicken & Dumplings and Apple Cobbler I think.. haha. General seating didn't get samples...) I was honored to see her. And she looks FABULOUS after her weight loss. Although I always thought she looked great before! That shiny silver hair and piercing blue eyes!! Love you Paula!!! :D And I definitely need to go visit her restaurant in Savannah!!
I thought it was a great event overall. We had so many samples and bought some goodies and cool stuff. I hope they do the Metro Cooking Show again next year and I look forward to attending it!!

Director: Jean-François Richet
Mel Gibson returns in a violent drugs-and-gangsters film that casts him as Link, a two-time loser and alcoholic, still searching for the daughter (Moriarty), now 17, who has been missing for the past three years.
Unfortunately, the girl, Lydia, has fallen in with Jonah (Luna), leader of of a South American narcotics gang peddling their padrone's wares in the USA. Accompanying the gang on a gun-brandishing mission to teach a thief a lesson, Lydia accidentally shoots Jonah and, panic-stricken, flees the scene, soon contacting the father she hasn't seen in years, long before she ran away from her mother's custody.
Soon Link is caught up in her flight from gangsters bent on revenge.
Rescued once by his parole carer (Macy), Jack takes Lydia and hi-tails it outta there, seeking out old associates for favours as the duo fights to stay alive.
Of course Jonah isn't dead (or he wouldn't be played by third-billed Luna) and he tracks Lydia down via her mobile phone, dragging a hit-man and assorted goons towards an inevitable shoot-out climax.
The action's good, but performances seem to be on auto-pilot, with Moriarty also a shade too sophisticated to be the daughter of a redneck ex-con like Link. But it's a serviceable blue-collar thriller that should do well enough on DVD.

What You Can and Can Not Do When Pregnant
When you get pregnant you can no longer do everything you did before. Suddenly you have a list of things that you can't do. That being said, you can do more than you might think. The following is a list of pregnancy dos and don'ts.
Shoveling Snow
You might think you have to leave the shoveling to someone else, but that depends on how far along you are. In the first three months it is safe to shovel snow. When you get further along you will have to nix this activity!
Activity Trackers
If you use an activity tracker to track your steps you can still use it when you are pregnant. The mechanical accelerometers are perfectly safe. The wireless monitors should be used with caution, don't clip it to your pants near your bump, opt for one you wear on your wrist instead.
Eat Canned Tuna
Tuna does contain mercury, but that doesn't mean that you have to avoid it altogether. You can eat one six ounce serving up to six times per month. Fish is actually a good element to add to your pregnancy diet because it contain omega-3 fatty acids.
Teeth Whitening
Even though you want to have pearly whites all the time, it is best to hold off on using bleaching treatments during pregnancy. Instead, try to remove stains with a mixture of equal part strawberries and baking soda. Mix the two ingredients together in a blender and dab on your teeth with a q-tip or cloth.
Loud Concerts
Not sure if you should give away the tickets you bought to see your favorite artist? Hold on to your tickets because it is perfectly safe for you to go and get your groove on. Your baby has a sound buffer that reduces the sound making it perfectly safe.

Hybrid Affiliate Commissions – TANI Side Line
Thank you so much for coming to us in search for "TANI Side Line" online.
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all present bitcoins. This situation is just not to suggest that markets usually are not exposed to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no requirement for large amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The merest events on earth market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also take part in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain always leaves public evidence a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Since among the oldest forms of earning money is in money lending, it is a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, several of those websites you're required fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a bit of coins for visiting them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a fair investment strategy.
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or another regulatory agencies. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can readily be reached by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous.
This mining action validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something illegal, it is not recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever.

In the event of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might actually be dealt being a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies say this type of digital cash isn't handled by a main bank system and it is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted quantity of goods, this cash's benefit is based on market forces, permitting entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency exchanges.
The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of character of the protocol by which it is transacted. All transactions on a crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This isn't something short-term wherever your customers could dispute or need a discounts, or employ unethical sleight of palm. Used, most traders would be smart to utilize a transaction processor, due to the permanent character of crypto-currency transactions, you should make sure that security is difficult. With any type of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially access your individual keys and so take your money. However, you almost certainly can never get it back. It's very important for you to embrace some very good safe and sound techniques when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing this can protect you from many of these negative events.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, predicated on the amount of shares won.
If you're thinking about going it alone, it is worth noting the applications settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter course. This option also creates a stable stream of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the reward.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of worth, but there isn't any real tangible type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.

The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network is now the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to flow without interruption, in the appropriate place at the right time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet together these companies determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centered firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a committed advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Many individuals prefer to use a money deflation, notably those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal privacy, for example, is great for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd take place as part of your wealth, with the rest earmarked for other currencies.
You've probably seen this often times where you generally distribute the good word about crypto. It's not volatile? What happens when the value accidents? to date, many POS devices gives free transformation of fiat, alleviating some issue, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, many people is likely to be resistant to put up any. We have to find a method to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not necessary to understand how the process functions in and of itself, but it is fundamentally important to understand that there's a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we know them now where Governments and banks can simply select to print endless quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to manage or to stop operation.

It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital currency referred to as Bitcoin. There are different from common currency we know. It is because they're not controlled by any country or authorities. They do not go through any third party. It was a huge breakthrough in the means of exchange. It also brought enormous remedies to the issues of identity theft online. Trades go through several celebrations as a way of creating trust, but today it truly is possible to create trust through creation of a complex code by an individual party.
It should be hard to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having small increases is more rewarding than attempting to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to take a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there is more volatility and reward in monies that haven't made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making substantial ammonts of money with various forms of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very successful business models made accessible as a result of growing use of blockchain technology.
It is certainly possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities no matter market behavior. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be fine.
You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times)

#ExpectMore: Chairman Brown's Legislative Crusade for Post-Secondary Education
Last week, City Council Chairman Kwame Brown (@KwameBrownDC) introduced legislation that would make it a requirement that students in District of Columbia Public Schools and DC Public Charter Schools take either the SAT or ACT exams and apply to at least one college/university or trade school before graduation day.
The 3-page College Preparation Plan Act of 2012 (read the legislation) is a very open piece of legislation that requires:
-The Mayor to create a plan that ensures that every student in a public high school applies to at least one post-secondary institution before graduation day
-The creation of a mandatory workshop that will provide critical information to students and parents on how to apply to these institutions, on what institutions may be best for their student and courses that help "streamline transition" to these institutions.
-OSSE (Office of the State Superintendent of Education) to collect data and report how many students go on to post-secondary education and what type.
-Each student take either the SAT or ACT before graduation.
Since the Chairman announced the idea in a council legislative preview a week ago, mixed reviews have surfaced, with many raising concerns about the fiscal impact on students and parents and the need to force the option of post-secondary education on students who may not want it.
I came out very early in support of the proposed legislation because as a graduate of a high school that emphasized the importance of post-secondary education and where taking the SAT or ACT and applying to at least one college was a graduation requirement, I know that these tactics can and do work for students.
Here are the facts: for every student, college or a post-secondary education is not their dream. However, in our country, a post-secondary education (whether it be collegiate or trade) is necessary for most employment opportunities. Some students are not motivated to pursue a post-secondary education. However, from experience, students who sit in a classroom where the focus is education that leads to college, students are inspired to pursue that track.
Some people ask "what's the point?" if the system is under-performing and doesn't prepare our students for a post-secondary education anyway. The truth is the system is under-performing and it needs to do a better job at preparing students for higher education. However, this doesn't mean we shouldn't prepare our students for the inevitable.
The "College: Optional" society that we lived in 10, maybe even 5, years ago is no more. Education above the high school level is becoming more and more necessary every day and I think it's time that we begin making our students aware of this very important fact. Whether it be in law or de facto, application to a post-secondary institution needs to be a requirement in the classroom just as it is in the field of work.
Fiscally, these requirements are possible. For low-income students, there are already resources that cut the cost marginally, if not completely, for both test-taking and applying to college. For example, in 2010, I applied to 12 colleges and universities, where application costs ranged from 40 to 80 dollars each. Out of the 12 institutions, I only paid for one application fee, because waivers were provided by all other institutions. I also took the SAT reasoning test twice, the ACT once and 2 SAT subject tests. With waivers, I paid for none. If there are costs to any of this, however, the city should be willing and able to foot the bill and taxpayers should be willing to make the investment in our city's future.
The legislative process of debating and voting on this bill is still in its early stages, but it will be interesting to hear the discussion about the future of education in the District of Columbia.

I am a writer. Have I been published? Sort of. I was paid £14 for a short story back in 1982 but since then nothing. But isn't that a common story? At the age of 55 I decided that I should follow up a dream I have carried for years and that is to go to Uni and get educated. So I followed this up by gaining my Access Course diploma and then going on to Marjon Uni at Plymouth, Devon, UK, to study Creative Writing. By the end of my first year I was asked by the Uni if they could use my first story into their publication to advertise Marjon's ability to produce writers. I was really proud of that fact. So that means I have been published twice I guess.
But what does David want to do in these last years? He wants to write stories but also write travel blogs. Being a keen cyclist he intends this year (2016) to cycle route 1 in France, then Spain and then Italy. So here I am, scared to death of this forthcoming adventure but ready to record it all for your enjoyment and education. It will all be going onto this blog and then compiled to form a travel guide with photos and maps for a book that you can purchase on Amazon Kindle. If you don't own a kindle, buy one. I have 200+ books on mine. A brilliant bit of kit.
So – who am I? I don't know, but in the next year I intend to find out – and if you are reading this, so will you.

TRASHED AMBULANCE – A Dime For Every Time
Canada's Trashed Ambulance released their EP, A Dime For Every Time last month on Thousand Islands Records in digital and CD formats. The six track EP opens with Hangover Drive, a track in the vein of the Fat Wreck bands with a special nod to NoFX as the band add some intricate guitar play to the pop-punk approach. It's a solid opener that intrigues and had me wanting more.
Next up is Metronome where Trashed Ambulance maintain the pace, hooks and melody and they have you bouncing around (see the video below and decide for yourselves) in a similar vein to fellow Candian punks Childsplay. Next up is Doofus, a funny romp into skate-punk territory as the band apply some self-effacing lyrics and bring a smile to my face!
The musicianship is tight, fast, melodic and accessible. On Candy Stripers the sound is just a little heavier but Trashed Ambulance don't slow it down at all – the drums propel the tracks along at 100 mph and Mulligan provides a slightly slowed down approach with a chanted Oi! chorus.
The EP finishes with Effin 101 where a fast bass is joined by a 'police siren' guitar and screamed vocals before the band go slow-fast-faster! If you like your punk rock in the skate/Fat genre, Trashed Ambulance are definitely for you – fast, fun and fearless!
You can get yourself a copy of A Dime for Every Time by Trashed Ambulance right here from Thousand Island Records

Speaking via Twitter the Gunners hit man told fans: "Contrary to reports in Spain I have NEVER spoken to Marca newspaper and never gave any interview. Enjoy your day."
Marca had previously claimed Van Persie had spoken of his delight at being linked with a move to the Bernabeu and quoted the Dutch international as saying he was "excited" at the thought of playing for them.
Arsene Wenger is desperate to keep hold of the Premier League's top goal scorer and has been frustrated with recent speculation linking him with a move away from Arsenal.
The player was reported as wanting a move from the Emirates to Barcelona last week, in order to link up with former Arsenal team mate Cesc Fabregas.Follow @icentrocampista

Countdown timers are very useful in adding a sense of urgency to a limited-time offer with a "ticking clock". Here's how to use sendtric.com to create a limited-time offer you can use in an email.
Note: We are not affiliated in any way with sendtric.com and have no way of vouching for or guaranteeing the service uptime, cost, or terms of use.
1. Sign up to sendtric.com and accept their terms of use. You can change the colors and language on their website. When you generate the image, you'll get an image URL to use on the right side. The expiration date is not important - we'll be changing that within Remarkety.
2. Copy the image URL, and change the "to" parameter to a piece of code that reflects the time for this offer relative to the email's actual send date. This is important for automations and dynamic coupons, because the coupon is created when the email is sent and will have a different expiration date for every email sent. So, for example, if you would like the offer to be valid for 2 days after the email send, replace this:

With this:

Note that you can replace the '+2 days' part with almost anything, ie '+1 month', '+4 hour', etc.
3. In the email editor within Remarkety, enter the HTML mode for the block where you'd like to insert the timer, and click on the "Source Code icon":
4. Within the source code editor, paste the image URL you created in step 3:
5. Click OK. The image will show as broken in the design view because the magic happens only when the email is finally rendered. You can see the final output by switching to Preview:
And you're all set with custom timers! Please let us know if you're making use of this feature and if you have any suggestions for us.

Tribute to Debbie Strayer
Picture from HomeschoolingToday.com (awesome homeschool magazine)
Content by Tina Farewell
Our dear friend, Debbie Strayer, danced into the arms of Jesus last weekend!
After speaking at a homeschool convention in Alabama, Debbie and her husband Greg enjoyed dinner, then took a carriage ride celebrating their anniversary love of 35 years. Late that night, Debbie suffered a heart attack with her dear Greg at her side.
We really miss her and want to carry on her vision of encouraging families to embrace truly biblical home education, enabling parents and children to become who God created them to be—learning naturally together—with the foundation that our value is because we are made in God's image, not in our intellect or accomplishments.
Debbie was a great encourager, equipping parents to mentor and tutor their children in a way that naturally leads them to follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
Debbie was mentored for nearly 20 years by Ruth Beechick, a mighty woman of God. Ruth, with her doctorate in education and teaching experience of a long lifetime, encouraged Debbie to carry the torch of encouragement and freedom for home educating families. Let's pick up that torch too—to the Glory of God!
Debbie was the founder of Homeschooling Today magazine, co-author of the Trail Guide to Learning series, Learning Language Arts through Literature series, an encouraging and motivational speaker, a dear friend, mother, wife, and a faithful servant of the Lord.
Bob and Tina Farewell are respected speakers, mentors and homeschool pioneers. The Farewells traveled around the United States for at least six months each year speaking to thousands of families and hosting retreats, conferences, and workshops.

"I own 5 necklaces so far I want the whole collection absolutely love this jewelry and recommend it"
"I was elated to see the shop set up at SeaCon! Jodi took the time to make me a "Castiel's Grace" when there were none left on display - I was so surprised she was willing to do that! I love my necklace and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it :) Thanks so much darling!"
"Absolutely adore my Castiel's Grace necklace! I wear it all the time now and her work is just stunning! The craftsmanship blows me away and she is just a great person to work with! I highly recommend this shop and Jodi for all your fandom jewellery wants and needs!"
"I first saw Jodi's work at the SPN Vegas Con 2016 and fell in love with it. Ive been to a lot of conventions, fairs, craft and art shows and hers is the most unique jewelry that I've seen. I got my first piece there, and I've worn it almost every day since. I love it and will definitely be ordering more soon for myself and as gifts."
"Just bought my second piece ("Shattered Resolves") after seeing and buying Jodi's work at SPN DC Con in 2015. They are beautifully crafted and I am the envy of all my friends!"
"I have so many necklaces made by Jodi and I love them all, and get compliments on them all the time! The chains and cords are all great quality and the stones are beautiful."
"Found at VegasCon16 and fell in love. Bought a Jared's Perseverance necklace then and there. Bought two AKF bracelets (one for me and one for my bff.) I don't go a day without wearing them. My favorite accessories."
"Omg was so excited to receive my beautiful jewelry today! Can't wait until Sunday when I can wear it on my weddinf day! Super fast and super awesome! Will for sure be a returning customer"
"I literally never want to take my necklace off! I absolutely love it!"
"Jodi's pieces range from gemstones to stamped metal and all are superb! Plus Jodi herself is so nice. All pieces are custom made to order!"
"Love my necklace from the short film "Homeowner". I have gotten a ton of compliments on both the look at the craftsmanship!"
"Love my pieces so much. So different and special. Thank u"
"Loved it. I definitely need to stop by your booth at Vegas con. One minor note. One of your gift cert is listed for .20 cents. I'm sure you meant $20."

We have 40 more pure cashmere crochet hand knitted scarves...
We hope you like them.. each one is completely unique because the colours were chosen by the people that made them.Here are a few pictures to give you the idea...
The price for each unique piece - just £79.50
We also have redsigned the unisex pashmina. It is 3ply, so slightly thicker than a standard one. It is also herringbone weave with an open edge (rather than tassles), and 60x190cm. Pure cashmere , or course.
We have 10 colours in stock. The price is £66.10.
...also we had a lesson from a professional photographer (at vast expense!), who helped us set up our flashes for our photography studio a bit better... and also how to calibrate the screen so the colours are perfect. This should minimise the problem caused by the wide range of settings on computer screens.

If you have an understanding of the neural processes in your brain .. i believe intuition is easier to understand. The brain is actually a Storage Box of information and has been trained with the capability of linking and processing multiple inputs to achieve or reach to conclusions.
We know that all people perceive different events differently. The reason, because the millions of neurons interconnect and process the same information with different inputs .. hence the different outputs. Leading to varied thought processes.
Now coming to intuition my theory is as follows :I think it is more of a probablity science. The people who say they have intuition are more or less very capable at probablity, subconciously. But to compare an established mathematician and a person with intuition does not make sense.
If any of us would have followed the Numbers series on AXN, you would know the capability of mathematics in predicting situations.
So,then the conclusion of my hypothesis is that : Intuition is more of a subconcious mind's probablity skill than anything else. Not a miracle or of any other external influencers.

That's The General, right in the center. He's just come down court, and is open for a pass. I don't remember what happened next, probably a turnover or missed shot. Sounds rather cruel of me, doesn't it?? Well, this year it is not about the game. It is about being a good sport and trying to have fun, even when it is difficult.
You see the scores of the recent games have been BLOW OUTS, as in 6-48, 3-45, and this last weekend The General's team experienced the win 40-6. How these lopsided feats have come to be in a youth league would take more space and energy than I have for my blog today.
So what do you do when you find your child getting clobbered each week? We've been talking about being a good sport. Find the fun times, and focus on them. Don't make excuses for losing, just work hard and do your best. Celebrate the little victories. I'm so proud, The General has been rising to the occasion. He's growing up.
Let's face it, many times life can feel a lot like this basketball season. When we find ourselves in those seasons, we can still find joy in the little things. Counting our blessings, and focusing on what we have as opposed to what we are missing. Again, I'm humbled by the lessons my children are teaching me.

About a year ago I began writing a story for my daughter Amelynne, using her toys as characters.
It took me about 3 months to write and 9 months to type it up, and I've finally got something to show for it. Right now it's still a work in progress, as I need to read it through a few times with Amelynne and make sure she's happy with it. I also need to add some illustrations.

I have been craving tofu for the last few days and finally decided how I felt like eating it… in a sweet and sour sauce:) I have never made a sweet and sour sauce so I looked things up on the internet. I was quite disappointed. If you want vegan/fat free ideas they have them but that didn't interest me (or my pallat:). So I figured I better search for Sweet and Sour Pork… those people know how to eat!!! That gave me better results but I still found many recipes that called for bottled sweet and sour sauce. I looked at about 10 recipes and then just decided to make my own version. One version I really liked and took the tofu idea from was a girl who made it her goal to use her crockpot everyday in 2008! Here is the version I made up , with the minor alterations I would make next time 🙂
Sweet and Sour Tofu and Eggplant
- 2 onions chopped
- 2 peppers (i used one green and one yellow)
- 1 clove garlic chopped or pressed
- 1 15 oz can of pineapple with juice
- 1-2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2.5 Tbs vinagre
- 3.5 Tbs sugar
- 3-5 Tbs water (start with 3 and add more if you need it at the end)
- 1+ Tbs corn starch
- 1/2 chili pepper chopped (mine only had a few seeds so you might want take some out)
- _______________
- 20+ oz tofu
- corn starch to coat tofu
- 1 eggplant and oregano (optional)
- salt
Add all ingredients up to tofu in the crockpot. Let cook at least 5 hours on high.
When you are about 30 minutes from eating:
Chop the eggplant in medium sized slices. In a baking dish coat them with about 1 tbs oil and sprikle them with salt and oregano. Cook on about 400 for 15 minute or until soft. Add to the crockpot mix. Next, coat the cubed tofu with corn starch. Add a little salt. Then fry the tofu in about 3 Tbs of oil on high heat. Don't stir them to much, just flip them once to make sure they are golden on all sides. Add the fried tofu to the crockpot mix.
Serve with rice

Greetings,I have read many posts about friends and it left me with wondering thoughts about the true definition of the word "friend" and "friendship". Do we really, ever, have what some call as a "true" friend? I think so, but it is very rare to have a totally unconditional friendship. There is always some "clinch" that comes in the way of many friendships. I have developed a wonderful friendship with my youngest daughter. We have always been friends, but not as close as we are now. It is amazing to look at our relationship as friends, best friends and that unconditional friendship that we give to each other without a second thought. Both of us have had other friends who we spent time with, chatted on the phone endlessly with and even felt we were very close and connected to. But, after a year or two, something happens and like a popped bubble... they disappear, never to be seen or heard from again. Why? Because they realize there is nothing more they can gain from you. Sad isn't it, but it is painfully the truth. We all need a friend when life throws things into our lives. Someone to talk to about it. Someone who does or tries to understand how you are feeling and what you must be going threw and not offering their friendship just to be nosy and hear the latest juicy news of your life. Those sort of friends are very rare and not ones you find everyday. Most people are out for themselves and they are willing to give only if they are getting something well worth it in return. I had a very dear friend who has long past over to the other side. Yes, she is no longer alive and walking on this earth. She always loved to bake what she called as "Blessing Bread". She worked hard in her kitchen making loaf after loaf of those breads, kneading, praying over and blessing each loaf, as she thought of those whom she was going to deliver them to. One lady, who lived across the street from her received a blessing loaf of bread, every Saturday for over five years. She loved the bread and always looked forward to seeing that bread on her doorstep. She told me later, after Helen had passed away, how she thought many times of offering her a few dollars to help pay for the flour and other ingredients, but with tears in her eyes she said, "I also thought, why should I, as long as I was getting it for free." She felt terrible for being so selfish, but for five years she got free bread! Helen never expected pay for her bread, but she certainly appreciated those who helped her pay for the ingredients. She had ten friends whom she baked these blessing breads for and out of all of them... only two helped her pay to supply the bread to all of them for many years. Yes, they received FREE bread without even considering the love and friendship that was providing it... until death came and the FREE bread no longer was there. Did they miss the free bread or did they miss Helen. Maybe they missed both, but all I heard was. " I sure will miss those free loaves of bread!" I am pleased to know that i was one of those who helped Helen pay for her ingredients. I felt blessed with her friendship an I felt good in my spirit that I never took advantage of her and her kindness. Her bread was delicious and her friendship was... delightful. I would never use a friend for my personal gain. If they gave me a flower seed, I would want to give them the first bouquet of flowers from that seed every year that they bloomed.

Longest Flight in History by Qantas Airways in 2022?
Wanting to introduce nonstop flights between Sydney and London in the year 2022, Qantas Airways has challenged Boeing and Airbus to tweak their 777-8X and A350-900ULR aircraft models respectively to be able to handle the task — which is considered the "last frontier" and "Holy Grail" for ultra long haul flights — as well as for possible nonstop flights between Sydney and New York.

The Kangaroo Route is Finally Without Stops: Qantas Airways Announces Service Between London and Perth
"When Qantas created the Kangaroo Route to London in 1947, it took four days and nine stops. Now it will take just 17 hours from Perth non-stop", said Alan Joyce — who is the chief executive officer of Qantas Group — according to this official press release from Qantas Airways. "This is a game-changing route flown by a game-changing aircraft. Australians have never had a direct link to Europe before, so the opportunities this opens up are huge."
The perceived ebullience of Joyce in his statement is in response to the first direct link between Australia and Europe — using Western Australia as a hub — of what is to be the shortest and fastest version of the Kangaroo Route in the 70 year history of Qantas Airways: regular passenger service of non-stop flights between Perth and London operated by Qantas Airways with Boeing 787-9 "Dreamliner" airplanes capable of carrying 236 passengers.

Racism With Food on Qantas — Again?!?
After requesting beef as his choice for the meal during the flight, "I was greeted with this idiot Qantas steward's loud response, 'You don't want the Asian chicken? What a disgrace!' (Emphasis added where he used it.) And when he got the chuckles of the other (white Australian) passengers around me, I glared at him and he moved on."
The description for the chicken reads as follows…
Should Amenity Kits Be Abolished?
The amenity kits distributed in the economy class cabin on Qantas flights are apparently an environmental hazard because of the plastic used, and they are reportedly used by too few passengers.
However, some passengers see the amenity kits as a souvenir of their trip.
Should the amenity kits only be given to passengers upon request, or is it Time to abolish amentiy kits altogether?

The Qantas fleet of Airbus 380 aircraft has been grounded pending an investigation, as the cause of the engine failure is still unknown at the time this was posted.
