Hollywood, California: Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Founded in 1899, filled with dead celebrities, and reborn as Hollywood Forever, a hybrid working cemetery and tourist attraction. Probably the most fun cemetery in America, with an anything-goes approach to tombstones. Try to be there on Movie Night!

I am currently sitting on the patio of a beach condo I rented for a few days in Carolina Beach, which is on the North Carolina coast, just outside of Wilmington.
I started my annual tradition of solo vacations 9 years ago. I was working for Goldman Sachs at the time and I LOVED my job; I worked with really, really smart people and had fantastic bosses my entire time there. I enjoyed the work and was challenged. It was also an extremely competitive environment, part of which I thrived on, and part of which really burned me out. I hadn't taken any time off in a while and was feeling frayed. I finally booked a 2.5 day trip to Park City, by myself. I got a great room at nice resort (Utah travel tip: you can get sweet discounts at all the super nice lodges in the summer and don't have to deal with all that pesky snow 😉 ). I worked out, I went shopping, I got a massage, I went to restaurants by myself, I hiked by myself (on a well-travel path – safety first!). It was HEAVENLY. It was also really empowering.
I love my friends and family dearly, and I love spending time with them and traveling them. But there is something about a solo vacation and that precious alone time, away from the responsibilities of work and home. Being able to do whatever I want, when I want, with no concessions or no schedule. It sounds a bit selfish, right? Yeah, it is. That's the point. It's so rare that we live just for ourselves without considering others – and that is a good thing. We can't all walk around being selfish and self-centered assholes in our daily lives. But I'm a FIRM believer in self care (and I have a blog post dedicated to that topic alone in the works!), and one of the best ways to ensure self care happens is taking a solo vacation. Find things that feel indulgent – and DO THEM.
I love running and doing CrossFit and did both of those yesterday. I went to CrossFit Carolina Beach and then took an easy run. But I also make a point to fit leisurely walks and/or yoga into my vacation. Both of those are a big change from my normal workout routine and feel like completely indulgent self-care.
I love early mornings (especially at the beach) but I've been seriously lacking in sleep. So I slept in until 8 AM this morning and didn't worry about "all the hours I lost in the day." Again, it felt super indulgent. If I had been with someone else, I would have felt the pressure to get up to make sure they weren't waiting on me and to make sure coffee was ready and breakfast was planned out.
I love writing and I've realized I do my best writing in the mornings, but with my current schedule, I rarely have time to write before heading into the office. Being able to sit on the deck and write this post at 9 AM feels super indulgent.
I love traveling with others and sharing in new experiences or relishing in the comfort of familiar places. But when you travel with others, there is naturally give and take and more effort that goes into planning and deciding what to do. When I travel by myself, I set the schedule (or lack thereof), and I make all the decisions. And both of those are really good for me – I tend to OVER-schedule so when I travel alone, I try not to set a schedule and just go with the flow (which then benefits others I travel with because I have practice in being less planner crazy.;). And I can be extremely indecisive (my closest friends are nodding their heads vigorously) and traveling alone forces me to make all the decisions, even something as simple as where to eat and when to workout.
Traveling alone also gives me lots of time to think. At home, there is always something to do and I get so focused on getting things done, that I rarely leave truly quiet time. My walks turn into walks listening podcasts. My runs turn into "what music will help me run the fastest?" An evening alone turns into folding laundry with the Food Network on. None of these are bad – but it fills my brain with other things and doesn't leave space for my own thoughts to come through. Without all the responsibilities and pressures of home, I'm more inclined to take it easy and be easy on myself. But something about being with others on vacation trips the circuit to get back into "go go go" mode so I don't inconvenience anyone; I try to do all "my things" as quickly and efficiently as possible, defeating the purpose of vacation. And I think women are especially prone to this – we want to make others happy so much (which is a beautiful and lovely trait), but we often exchange our self care and mental health in doing so.
Sometimes I do 100% solo vacations and other times I have someone meet me after a few days – both are great. I have a friend coming to the beach later this evening and she'll be with me through Sunday. I'm excited to have some company but I'm relishing in my alone time for the rest of the day. So with that, I'm off to go on a walk and find some breakfast and maybe a yoga class later!
Do you travel alone? Does it scare you? I hear from a lot of people that they're uncomfortable with it. Granted you need to be smart about where you go and where you stay, but I think it's definitely feasible!
If you've traveled alone, what did you love about it? Any tips? If you haven't, where would you want to go?
Ready to run?
I'll send you advice for getting started and staying motivated, my favorite running gear, playlists, tips to increase your speed, avoid injuries and more!

Even though Faces Records has been around since 2002, the quantity of releases it pushed out is modest to say the least: around 25 records in total. But don't let these numbers fool you, as the sheer quality of music it has produced in it's 12 years of hard work is top shelf material. Founded in France by Pablo Valentino, the label focuses more on releasing other people's amazing work rather than his own (Pablo has only one of his records released on Faces so far). Together with Danilo Plessow, Faces Records is also home to a very special sub-label named after Danilo's alias Motor City Drum Ensemble, making it quite simply one the best underground house labels in Europe.
Their latest 12" release has just been announced and it's another of their successful samplers, this time featuring 2 established producers and another 2 new comers on the scene. Parisian Aurelien aka KM3 is the first new blood that debuts with 'Come Here', a stripped down raw deep warmer infused with black vocals, hash percussions and a wide driving bass line. French sampling wizard S3A is up next with 'Classy MF', a spectacular work of cutting, sampling and arranging resulting in one of the fattest and grooviest funk-infused house tracks around. The second fresh talent on this EP comes from Mexico and is actually the collaboration between 4004 & Sebastien Vorhaus that delivers a chord driven house dementia spiced up with a swinged percussion elements and scattered vocal loops making 'Room Selections B' the highlight of this release. Ending the record is a Creative Swing Alliance's (Pablo Valentino & Steven Joyce Ames) monumental work of epic strings and dreamy melodies placed on a tight kick and sprinkled with echoed distant vocals making 'Freedom' a truly epic piece of landscape house best suited for those late sunrise mornings.
This one goes out to all the FACES/MCDE/FCL/WPH lovers out there!
Title: Faces 1216 Sampler
Label: Faces Records
Cat-No: FACES 1216
Format: 12" black vinyl
Release Date: 26 March 2014
Tracklist: A1 Aurelian aka KM3 - Come Here | A2 S3A - Classy MF | B1 4004 & Sebastien Vorhaus - Room Selections B | B2 Creative Swing Alliance - Freedom

RedeeMedia's main focus is not about sharing our story, but sharing God's story of love and redemption. Our entire story continues to be the story of His unfailing love and mercy that works through generations. We would have never come together if not for the overwhelming love of God.
So here is a brief of how God brought us together for this very purpose.
Genaye, director of RedeeMedia, has always been interested in creative evangelism and wondered how the various communication means she employs at her work place as communication Specialist could be effectively used for evangelism.
She later joined medialightasia, a short term media missionaries training program in Northern Thailand. At medialightasia, all her pieces of puzzles about how to go about communication evangelism came together and she learned how to use the media for missions. When she came back to Addis Ababa, God helped her to connect and work with other young people who are interested in media mission. She then sets up Redeemedia ministry in Ethiopia in 2012 and has also been serving as a media missionary in Chiang Rai, Thailand since 2014.
Kibrom Tadesse joined the team through a social network. Unlike the other team members, Kibrom often engages in face to face street evangelism instead of using the media. However by reading about RedeeMedia's gospel multimedia exhibition on a blog post, he was impressed with the potential that media has in playing a role for spreading the good news. He realized the impact of visual media as the generations' point of contact. He now plays a role in the RedeeMedia in strategizing and organizing events. RedeeMedia events wouldn't have happened if not for his leadership and event organizing skills.
Originally this team was only aiming to organize a gospel multimedia exhibition, which would take place in Addis Ababa on September 2014. However the team met Fitsum Admassu, who envisions further than the multimedia gospel exhibition, he urged the team to start a web page where ideas, short films, photographs, and other gospel outputs can be shared and he also volunteered to design the website. Fitsum has since been the Creative Director of RedeeMedia.
All in all, by taking one step at a time, God teamed up this group with more creative young visionaries with so much talent (pictured below) for the work of His kingdom and now here we are with RedeeMedia, redemmers of the media for God's glory!
- Paving the way for the youth to salvation through visual media
- Seeing people receive Jesus as their personal savior
- Connecting people to a community where they can grow spiritually
Using media to save souls!

At first I must admit, I was trying to resist the Facebook evolution. I finally gave in when my company forced everyone to participate in social media. This is also the time when I first began my blog. I know...its all coming together now.
I have grown to find a new love and many uses for Facebook, the one that creeps me out the most is reuniting. My 10 year reunion is a month away and somehow all these people I haven't spoken to in 10 years are rising from the crypt. While a few of them, I do actually wonder about and am interested in finding out what's going on in their life, most of them...well...I could really care less. Its freaks me out when they add me and then most of the time they don't even say anything to me. I hate that. I hate just being a number on someones friend's list. It shouldn't bother me, its cyber space but if we're not friends I'm not the one to pretend about it.
The fan pages are getting a little out of hand, although one day I did become a fan of bacon (before the swine flu). I suppose that's a little nutz, but when friends suggest that you become a friend of 'sarcasm'???? What's that about? huh? My Twittering days have subsided a bit, but I feel that when I have a more socially intense client list then I will probably be back on Twitter as well.
Although computer technology has taken up a lot of jobs in the past ten years, I feel that it has more than exponentially provided opportunity for anyone who is willing to learn and adapt to the universe's changing social nature. Sometimes I hate cell phones, sometimes I love texts, most of the time I hate excel, but it also keeps me organized. What a strange world it is.
Last but not least. Despite of technology's wide reach in our lives, don't forget the little things like the California Sun (of which I am a fan on FB) and walking around outside. :)

#1167 new defect
Can't add buddy on Groupwise Messenger account
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Patches welcome
|novell groupwise messenger gw
- A user (GW Messenger) not on your buddy list sends you an IM.
- You attempt to add that person to your buddy list by going to File->Add...
- After hitting Add on the dialog that appears, the following message is displayed:
"Unable to add [username] to your buddy list (User not found)."
This problem seems to do with the username being reported fully qualified at first (a full LDAP username, for example). For example, my username at my organization is "jasutton". If I were to IM another person with GW messenger here (assuming I wasn't on his buddy list), my username would appear as "jasutton.IT.bju" in Pidgin (that's the fully qualified LDAP username). If you try to add this username (by going to File->Add in the IM dialog), Pidgin fails. However, if you use the simple username ("jasutton"), it succeeds.
This behavior has been observed in Pidgin 2.0, as well as all previous versions of Gaim that supported GW Messenger.

Snooker star Mark Davis has beaten the world number two in a thrilling televised clash this afternoon (Wednesday).
The St Leonards potter came from 3-1 down to edge out Neil Robertson 4-3 in round two of the 888.com World Grand Prix, sealing victory on the final ball of an epic deciding frame which lasted more than an hour.
World number 19 Davis clinched the opening frame thanks largely to a break of 60, but scored just 36 points in the next three as Australian star Robertson rattled in runs of 44, 83 and 77.
Davis rattled through frame five in a single visit with a break of 81 to cut his deficit to 3-2 and then levelled the match by winning frame six with a closing 63.
There were no big breaks during a lengthy decider, yet it was a nailbiting affair throughout. Davis held a 50-29 lead at one stage before Robertson eventually edged ahead on the colours only for Davis to pot the final black and scrape home 57-55.
His reward is a quarter-final showdown with world number nine Stuart Bingham, who overcame Matthew Selt 4-2 in his second round tie this afternoon. That match is due to take place on Friday evening.
Davis, who reached the quarter-finals of last week's Indian Open, previously saw off 10th-ranked Hong Kong player Marco Fu 4-1 in round one yesterday when he recovered from losing the opening frame to win the next four with breaks of 52, 102 and 109.
Televised on ITV4, the 888.com World Grand Prix is a new tournament on the circuit this season in which 32 of the sport's leading players are battling for the £100,000 top prize. The event runs from March 16-22 at Venue Cymru on the North Wales coast.

text: Page ContentThe Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) was signed into law in 1986 requiring certain employers who sponsor group health plans to offer their employees and their families continuation of coverage at group rates that otherwise would have been forfeited under certain situations. The Department of Labor, Pension and Welfare regulates the COBRA laws.For more information, visit the United States Department of Labor website.COBRA RatesCOBRA Rates 2019-20.pdfCOBRA Rates 2018-19.pdfCOBRA Contact InformationFlorida Blue COBRA1-855-509-1678Continuation Coverage UnitP.O. Box 45272Jacksonvile, FL email@example.com Wage Works/FHCP & firstname.lastname@example.com, Inc.- Dental email@example.com Eligibility You may have the right to elect COBRA continuation coverage if you lose group health coverage for any of the following reasons:Qualifying events for a Covered Employee:Termination of employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct)Reduction in hours that makes the employee ineligible for benefitsQualifying events for a Covered Spouse:Termination of your spouse's employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct)Reduction in your spouse's hours that makes him/her ineligible for benefitsDeath of your spouseDivorce from your spouseYour spouse becomes entitled to MedicareQualifying events for Covered Dependent Children:Termination of the employee's employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct)Reduction in employee's hours that makes him/her ineligible for benefitsDeath of the employeeParent's divorceEmployee becomes entitled to MedicareYou cease to be a "dependent child" under the terms of the health plan (see Family Status Changes)Frequently Asked Questions How does a person become eligible for COBRA continuation coverage?To be eligible for COBRA coverage, you must have been enrolled in your employer's group health plan when you worked. COBRA is available upon the occurrence of a qualifying even that would, except for the COBRA continuation coverage, cause an individual to lose his or her health care coverage. What benefits are covered under COBRA?COBRA coverage is offered for health, dental and vision. An employee who has any of these insurances one day prior to termination, is entitled to continue the same coverage under COBRA. How & when is the employee notified that their health care coverage has or will terminate?The Employee Benefits Department is notified by Personnel Services of an employee's termination. Once the termination has been processed, the insurance carriers will be notified to send a COBRA election form to the employee. What are the monthly premiums for COBRA and where does the employee send their premium payments?The premium is based on the type and level of coverage the employee currently has (ie: BC/BS Family coverage). The premium will consist of the employee's portion, the employers' portion and a 2% administrative fee. The payments are to be made to the handling agency (e.g., WageWorks, Infinisource, etc.). What happens to health care coverage the day the employee terminates their position?The date of termination will determine when coverage will terminate. If an employee terminates between the 1st and the 15th of the month, coverage will terminate at the end of that month. If an employee terminates the 16th or after, coverage will terminate the end of the next month.Exception: An employee who works through the end of their contract (May or June, depending on the position), will have coverage through September 30. How long is COBRA coverage available?An employee, spouse and dependent children are entitled to 18 months of continuous coverage if the qualifying event is due to termination or reduction of hours. Some dependents may be entitled to an additional 18 months of coverage. (See Family Status Changesfor more information.)

Norway's private-sector trade unions reach a deal with employers over wages, pensions and other compensation, averting the outbreak of major strikes.
OSLO, April 8 (Reuters) – Norway's private-sector trade unions reached a deal on Sunday with employers over wages, pensions and other compensation, averting the outbreak of major strikes, a state-appointed mediator said after five days of negotiations.
Almost 35,000 employees had been scheduled to go on strike if no agreement was found, and a conflict could eventually have escalated to include more than 200,000 workers.
A strike would immediately have idled aluminium smelters, fertiliser plants, ship yards and chemical factories, and could eventually have been extended to hit output of oil and gas, unions said ahead of the talks.
The deal remains subject to a vote by labour union members, mediator Nils Dalseide told reporters.
The agreement gives workers an estimated average pay rise of 2.8 percent in 2018, slightly more than the maximum 2.7 percent employers had said they were willing to pay.
Some adjustments were also made to pensions for low-paid workers, although a union demand for more wide-ranging pension reform was rejected and will be subject to a future government study.
A separate claim of compensation for travel-related expenses was resolved, unions said.

Where I Write
A couple of weeks ago, when I finished "Desert Wind," the 7th Lena Jones mystery, I let out a big WHOOP! My husband came running. "What's happened now?" he asked.
"Done, done, done! Isn't it wonderful?"
After a long silence, he finally said, "Actually, it's pretty horrible."
Hubby is still alive because he wasn't talking about my book; he was talking about the state of my den (see picture), which, I'll admit, was horrible. You see, I don't generally clean up as I go, at least when it comes to writing. I don't edit until I finish my first draft, and I don't tidy up my work room until I've written "The End." If you think I'm exaggerating, take a close look at that picture. See? That's around a year's worth of papers and dust bunnies scattered across the floor. My den is usually so awful that my husband, who himself isn't known for being a neaknik, refuses to enter except in dire emergencies, such as heart attacks or fires.
Well, okay, to be honest, last year he did come in when I was having a gall bladder attack, and dragged me to the hospital, where I stayed for five days, finally emerging without said gall bladder. And before you ask, yes, I'd written for two days while doubled up and moaning. Turned out some of my finer passages, too.
Anyway, as my husband surveyed the sump pit that is my den, he said, "Don't move," then disappeared, returning a few minutes later with a camera. "Smile for the birdie." I did, and he snapped the picture. When he looked at the digital display, he decided that with me in it, I hid too much of the mess, so he snapped the next picture with me out of the way. We both like that one better.
Yes, the walls of my den really are red. Almost the color of dried blood, if you will, which I think is quite fitting for a mystery writer. As far as the mess goes, I've always worked well in messes. Those of you who've ever taken a tour through a busy newsrooms know that journalists aren't known for the neatness. We. Don't. Like. To. Throw. Things. Out.
Just call us the hoarders of the writing world.
Where do YOU write? And how neat is that place? Feel free to respond to this blog and share the nasty truth about your writing habits. I promise not to tell anyone what a slob you are.

Oh, Betty, I'm so tickled to see your messy room...Mine looks like that all the time...I wouldn't dare take a picture of it...cause I figured I was the only one who worked in a cluttered atmosphere...You're a brave soul...

Mine is worse, I think. The only time I clean up is when I've lost something. But I usually know where things are. Which stack and about how deep. If I spent all my time straightening, I could never write!

This must be a common trait among writers. Mine is a mess, too. I don't like it, but after the rare occasions I manage to clean up, I can never find anything.

My office is in our family room so I have to clean up regularly, but in between the cleaning episodes, I'm surrounding my sticky notes and lists and unopened mail.
- May 30, 2011 at 6:36 AM
OMG, and here I thought I was the only one! Much appreciation of your bravery, Betty, in actually showing a picture. Until my old kitty died I had tons of cat hair, and you know what? Now that she's gone I even miss that. Looks like most writers are slobs...er...sloppy at heart. But personally, I'd rather write than clean.

It must be a writer/artistic thing ... my desk is massively cluttered too, but it has to get REALLY bad for me to do anything about it. Just chalk it up to GENIUS like Einstein!!

of what, then, is an empty desk?"

Oh--I know there is a whole group of us who love clutter and organize in piles. Just be glad that you are not married to someone who likes order and to put everything away. After 13 years of marriage, we have come to a compromise...
Mostly I am so happy to hear the 7th Lena Jones is finished...I just finished Desert Lost today.

Let me join in the cluttered den club please. I have an old typewriter I should throw out, boxes of books to donate, overflowing shelves, a desk that looks like a hurricane went through, and too much furniture all covered with messes. I don't dare vacuum in here. What a mess! The sign on my door says: "Caution: Crisis in Progress!"

Betty, I wish I could write in a mess like you...and it not bother me. Unfortunately, my environment has to be clean!! I don't know why....I just am that way!!!

My office has looked like that, Betty! Especially when I'm working on multiple writing projects. It's the only place I allow a mess. LOL!
- July 29, 2011 at 1:07 PM
- Sylvia said...
Oh, I feel so much better, seeing your 'mess'! Between my writing and website work, 'piles of stuff' defines my office. I straightened up a couple weeks ago but it still looks much the same!

Netsky – Artist Spotlight
Posted: Thursday, August 4th, 2016
We should be inclusive and we should cater to all music fans. And some of the most exciting moments for the whole scene have been when we fuse ideas from both sides of the spectrum and influences from outside of the genre.
Rarely have we seen someone rise through the ranks as quickly as Boris Daenen, a.k.a Netsky. Leading a wave of new school D+B talent from Europe with his blend of uplifting, melancholic melodies and heavy dance floor bass + beats, Netsky's popularity as both a DJ and producer is second to none.
Following virtually unanimous praise and hype from all corners of the globe, Netsky plunged firmly into the limelight, where he has remained ever since, delivering a potent mix of dance floor anthems, vocal led classics and that clean cut new jungle sound which has become his trademark. His skills behind the decks are enviable and he seems to have a Midas touch; able to transform even the most subdued of parties into an ecstatic, bouncing bliss within a matter of minutes.

Don't you know who I am?
According to my English girfriend's aunty, her Canadian daughter's Irish husband saw me on TV in Ireland recently, taking part in a pub quiz. Around two years ago Acen invited me to take part in a Welsh pub quiz, as a camera crew from Globe Trekker wanted to see something 'unique'. It was a good opportunity for me to promote Dysgwyr De Ddwyrain which I'd only just started.
I don't remember much about the quiz, only that Geraint was on my team, that we had free drinks and that the quiz-mistress Jenny Ogwen was rather pissed.
Also a few weeks ago, there was an answerphone message on my mobile from a researcher for Eye on Wales, wanting to talk to me about this blog. I phoned her back, thinking that this was going to be my big break..only to find that all she wanted was another blogger's phone number - I feel used! :-)
(according to Chris, the programme about blogging is on Radio Wales tonight)
A well, who want's to be on Radio Wales on a show about 'What is a blog?', I much prefer being mentioned (I think) on a serious techie programme on Gaeilge radio.

One more year is passed. 2006 has been a fairly good year to me. I don't have a great memory to log every event that occurred, will log the few that I can recall.
Professionally it was kind of satisfying year. We (me and a colleague) were working on an application, which was supposed to help our company market and showcase the usability of one of our still graphic product (the product was not doing that well, despite its excellent quality and high usability). We took close to 8 months to finish the project it was actually scheduled to be a 2 month project. The application actually evolved from a very simple specification, to a complicated one. We actually went on to create a new file format learnt a lot about of Threads, timers, tweaks to make UI responsive, cross platform programming, supporting different architectures, a bit of Image processing and yeah, finally learnt to use Visual Studio. Being a Mac programmer I was more used to Project builder and XCode, now I can confidently say I can work on Windows as well. The Application we developed was a major hit with all the users, the sales of the product slowly increased. Now its the second best selling product among our company's products. It feels real good when users in forums appreciate the work. As a result got a good hike. After engineering when I started to work I was one among the lowest paid from our Computer Science Batch. Well, it has changed, now I guess now I'll be at-least in top 15 in terms of remuneration. I got a business VISA stamping to the US of A. Finally a page of my passport got used.
Personally as-well it was a better when compared to 2004 and 2005. Went to Goa and Mysore (Srirangapatana) with friends it was real fun. Bought a motor bike, a Pulsar for myself. Oh ! yeah and how can I forget I have learnt cooking, one thing that I thought will never be possible. Made some real good friends in office. Found some real old friends, whom I thought I'll never meet. It was a memorable year. By the way this was the year I got addicted to blogging as-well.
I hadn't set any goals or anything for 2006, I just took it the way it came to me. But 2007 is not going to be that way, I've got lots of plans for 2007. Hope that I meet all my goals set for 2007.

Obama's Wall Street problem
The giant $2 billion trading loss at JPMorgan Chase highlights a central problem in President Barack Obama's case for a second term: Four years after the financial crisis nearly brought the nation to its knees, very little appears to have changed.
No high-profile bank executives are in jail. Special multi-agency task forces to go after financial fraud and mortgage market abuses appeared in State of the Union addresses, only to issue a few news releases and mostly vanish from public view.
Story Continued Below
And now one of the largest banks in the United States, headed by a Democrat and operating with government guarantees, has turned in the kind of headline-grabbing, casino-style loss that drives voters crazy and that Obama's financial reform bill was supposed to stop. It's led to the immediate retirement of Ina Drew, the bank's chief investment officer, along with a statement from Dimon that JPMorgan remains "strong."
( See also: 10 facts about Jamie Dimon)
Senior administration officials make a nuanced and largely credible case that they pushed for the toughest law they could get through Congress. They say the JPMorgan trades might not have happened if banks were not lobbying like crazy to water down financial reform. And they argue that higher capital requirements mean banks can better handle large losses such as those suffered by JPMorgan. If a giant bank fails now, they say, it will be liquidated without taxpayer support.
Obama campaign officials point out that their presidential opponent, Republican Mitt Romney, wants to get rid of the Dodd-Frank overhaul legislation entirely. They launched a fresh assault on Romney's experience at Bain Capital Monday morning, attacking their opponent with a new ad and website for the job losses and profits he made as a venture capitalist.
But average voters don't attend Commodities Futures Trading Commission hearings or read comment letters on complex proposals like the Volcker Rule provision in Dodd-Frank that is supposed to ban banks from making such huge bets. Instead, they open newspapers and turn on televisions and see what looks like 2008 all over again.
"The guy in the street in 2008 and 2009 was worried about his or her deposits, and now it's clear they should still be worried," said Charles Geisst, a Wall Street historian and professor at Manhattan College. "An average person looks at this and thinks, 'What exactly happened here? How could this happen again?' And they don't want excuses as to why it happened. They just want it to go away. But it's not going away."
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon's comments Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" did not help the administration's case that its financial reform bill has improved the system. Dimon said he didn't think JPMorgan had broken any laws — but he wasn't really sure.
"So we've had audit, legal, risk, compliance, some of our best people looking at all of that. We know we were sloppy. We know we were stupid. We know there was bad judgment. We don't know if [violating laws or rules] is true yet," he said. "Of course regulators should look at something like this — that's their jobs. So we are totally open to regulators, and they will come to their own conclusions."

Runway Report — Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2013-14
Nothing could be more symbolic on the day of Pope Benedict XVI's last Sunday blessing from his papal window than Cardinal Red blood spilling onto the Dolce and Gabbana runway. The blood was a metaphor for the dresses in that iconic red hue as the models marched out for the show's finale. Although this Fall/Winter 2013-14 collection was inspired by the Cathedral of Monreale, one could not help but simultaneously think of the Pope's last few days as Saint Peter's successor.
The collection was once again an ode to Italy, Sicilia to be precise, Stefano and Domenico's source of inspiration. This Italian region has proven to be the duo's gold mine for ideas, and in the past they have taken everything from the peasantry to the kitsch and translated them into fashion success. For their Fall/Winter outing, they looked to the Cathedral of Monreale and literally extracted the mosaics from the walls transferring them onto everything from bags to tunics. In fact, the opening set of looks were romanticized versions of the cathedral's relics; from the ecclesiastical iconography and mosaics on dresses to the Byzantine Cross in the form of earrings and pendants. The result: a fusion of wealth and Christian imagery.
Dolce and Gabbana also offered several subdued options in comparison to the gilded frocks that made an impression on the runway. A section of looks devoted to the color grey was transcribed by tweed and wool offering blouses, coats, and separates to those with quieter tastes. Following the grey period were the reappearances of the Sicilian black widows and the virgins in white that showcased the duo's skilled lace handiwork.
In spite of all the beautifully crafted clothing that emerged from this collection, nothing was more powerful than the attire made in Cardinal Red. I find it interesting that the last model came out in a white icon shift adorned in a Byzantine crown and jewels only to be followed by a Holy See, or rather Sea, of red dresses as the finale. Dolce and Gabbana were quite literal in their Fall/Winter 2013-14 collection; the models in that religious red marched out of the show as if they were going into conclave. We know how the story ends: only one of them will return wearing white.

The Case for Oyster Sanctuaries
As you'll see down the page in Your Say, reader Fred Millhiser continues the discussion opened by my Editor's Letter of June 22 — "Gov. Hogan: Champion of the Chesapeake? With the title comes accountability".
I quoted the governor as sharing watermen's conviction that "rotational harvesting" is good for oyster sanctuaries as well as their own interest.
On the other side, Millhiser recommended a recent commentary in Bay Journal, independently published with grant funding to inform the public about issues and events that affect Chesapeake Bay. The commentary — "Abandoning Sanctuaries Means Giving up on Oyster Restoration" — was written by Bill Eichbaum, chair of the Maryland Oyster Advisory Commission from 2007 to 2011.
If you've watched Bay restoration and oyster repopulation as I have these 25 years, you know both Bay Journal and Eichbaum present ideas worth considering.
So this week, with Bay Journal's permission, I share Eichbaum's case for keeping sanctuaries closed.
An animal, he writes, is likely to have the maximum capability to develop genetically based resistance to disease if certain conditions are met. First, it must be given the most hospitable environment possible so that individuals in the population thrive physically. For the oyster, this means providing opportunities for the re-establishment of the historic reef structures. This can only be done in the long-term absence of harvesting.
Second, the animals must be allowed to live out their full life expectancy, especially in the presence of disease. Animals that live long lives in the face of disease are likely to do so as a function of genetic and other factors disposing them to resistance. And they pass those traits on to future generations.
Sanctuaries need to be distributed throughout the Bay. This distribution will assure that as weather and other environmental conditions change and impose transient stress on particular sanctuaries, others not subject to that stress can help carry the whole system through such periods, especially in regard to the reproductive processes. Also, the distribution of sanctuaries across the Bay means that larval dispersal from sanctuaries will benefit adjacent non-sanctuary oyster habitat.
Finally, sanctuaries need to be large, for enforcement purposes. Only large areas — an entire water body, such as Harris Creek or the Little Choptank — are on a scale that allows efficient law enforcement. In a 10-acre sanctuary, a scofflaw can easily slip across the line without being spotted. That's impossible where an entire creek or river is the sanctuary.
The Maryland Oyster Sanctuary Plan envisages only covering 25 percent of good oyster habitat. That leaves 75 percent for traditional oyster practices. The sanctuaries are the only logical way to assure native oysters are eventually able to resist disease and again play an important role in the ecological life of the Bay. They will also significantly improve the probable success of thriving oyster populations outside of sanctuaries. To abandon this vision for the contribution of sanctuaries in Maryland is to abandon the native oyster.
Did It Rain on Your Parade?
Bad enough that July Fourth's rain fell on the Annapolis Independence Day Parade, drenching city plans to conclude the patriotic holiday with fireworks.
Worse still, in the big picture, is the torrent of sediment such storms discharge into our waterways.
You might have seen the morning-after evidence just after reading in July 5's Washington Post that the Conowingo Dam is close — much closer than we hoped — to reaching its full sediment containment potential.
In the Conowingo silt dam, just as in oyster sanctuaries, we share a collective stake.
Sedimentation of our waterways is a personal problem for each one of us, for it begins in our own front and back yards, our own roofs and driveways.
We stand on higher ground in solving our collective problems when we take care of the problems that begin at home. What am I doing to stop my share of the stormwater flood? What are you doing?

"Shannon's content review and editing services worked wonders for my manuscript. She was quick, professional, and wonderful to work with. As a well-established author with behind-the-scenes experience, I found her input to be invaluable. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned veteran, I highly recommend her services."
– A.I. Kemp, author of The Windmill Keepers
"I had been following Shannon since I started blogging/looking into Indie publishing. When I saw she offered services, I jumped on the chance to work with her expertise and connections to pump up some reviews for my first book. Shannon was professional, communicated quickly and was so great to work with. The reviews keep rolling in and my fan base is slowly growing once again. I was looking forward to an easy, effective experience and Shannon exceeded my own goals. What I didn't expect to find was a fantastic colleague and a new friend. Even though the last part was free, it was the most rewarding."
– Jonas Lee, author of A Time to Reap
– J.N. Colon, author of Stalked
"Shannon meets the deadlines she gives you, she immediately responds to communications or questions, and she sincerely takes a personal interest in the authors she works with. Shannon is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone, no matter the book genre."
– T.N. Carpenter, author of Along the Way to Happily-Ever-After
"Shannon always amazes me; she has wisdom beyond her years. She is always professional, personable and on time with her projects.

She is a star and a gem in the world of editing and book support."
– Sarah Newton, author of Never Mind My Thigh Gap
"All the fun you've built up while writing a book can be offset by the unrewarding activity of promoting it. After wandering in the dark and missing my mark more than once with review requests, I've decided to leave these specialized activities to someone who actually knows what they're doing – Shannon. The results were immediate and long lasting, effectively rendering Shannon into the Advil of book promotion."
– Sorin Suciu, author of The Scriptlings
"Shannon's review service was fantastic. It's so hard to find the time to reach out to bloggers for reviews, particularly when a positive response is hard to get. But Shannon has a talent for making connections. I've already used the service three times this year. Thanks, Shannon!"
– Raymond Vogel, author of Matter of Resistance
"A service that delivered each and every time. Shannon is both professional and reliable – her service is an asset any business could, and should, use."
– Ryan Attard, author of The Legacy Series
"Shannon has experience at the behind-the-scenes work of a virtual book launch, and is diligent at the hard work of soliciting reviewers. She is established in the Indie publishing world and uses her connections to the benefit of her clients. Thanks, Shannon!"
– Jeffrey Allen Mays, author of The Former Hero

Chrominance, Newzones Gallery, October 22 – November 26, 2016
Newzones is pleased to present "Chrominance", a solo exhibition by Anda Kubis.
Part of the new Abstraction movement in Canada, Kubis continues her play with colour, space and illusion. Due to the prominence of colour in her work, her research considers how a conscious engagement with aesthetics and creativity positively impact human flourishing and quality of life.
In addition to her painting practice, Kubis explores new media through a digital process that creates the foundation from which this new body of oil paintings and digital prints are produced. In finished form, the digital paintings exist beyond the screen where they are entirely informed by the digital software, chroma and layers, which modelled their creation. Although inspired by a digital source, the colour is material and substantial. The luminance – the glow within – is created through Kubis' intentional play on hue and value perception. Colour is a positive means of aesthetic expression through mixing new and traditional approaches to image making.

You can pair almost any colour with gold or silver metallics to make it festive. So it stands to reason that the non-metallic versions of gold and grey would pair well. Together they create a feeling of warm elegance that is very inviting.
Pair blue with silver and you get the same elegance with a cool tone. A little more formal or a little more relaxed depending what your text is. This palette can evoke cool breezes and festive nights or it can be used to trigger thoughts of grey, relaxed cottage days. It will be all in the word smithing.
Purple and gold, paired with pink! I don't know about you but I sense a party coming on. This palette has a festive, feel-good vibe that would be appropriate for any holiday event or sale.
Dramatically different for a holiday palette, these earth tones are inviting and warm. They call out to come in from the cold, warm yourself by the fire, enjoy a quiet, conversational gathering with friends.
Pretty in pink and grey is fun and festive. Perfect to promote holiday events or products with a feminine appeal.
Whatever the mood for your holiday campaign, there is a non-traditional palette for that!

Scripture and Tradition proclaim the reality of angels:
CCC 329 St. Augustine says: "'Angel' is the name of their office, not of their nature. If you seek the name of their nature, it is 'spirit'; if you seek the name of their office, it is 'angel': from what they are, 'spirit', from what they do, 'angel.'"188 With their whole beings the angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they "always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven" they are the "mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word".189
CCC 330 As purely spiritual creatures angels have intelligence and will: they are personal and immortal creatures, surpassing in perfection all visible creatures, as the splendor of their glory bears witness.190
The Angels belong to Christ they are messengers of his saving plan since creation and throughout the history of salvation. CCC 334 The whole life of the Church benefits from the mysterious and powerful help of angels.
CCC 336 From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession.202 "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life."203 Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.
I found out just how close angels are to people a decade ago when my son was in a serious car accident:
The phone call comes on a Saturday night.
I listen to the police in shocked silence.
"Your son has been in a serious car accident."
"No, we have not ascertained the extent of his injuries."
"We did use the jaws of life to extract your son and his girlfriend from the vehicle."
"No, I told you, I cannot tell you the extent of his injuries but if you head over to Trauma 1 at the Civic, they will give you an update."
"All I can tell you is it seems that the vehicle did flip end over end and then barrel-rolled down into a ditch filled with water."
"Off the record, I will say that in 25 years of service, I have never seen a car look as bad as his does and not have someone dead on arrival."
Sheer heart-stopping panic grips me. I can hardly breathe and my heart is pounding. We pass his car on the side of the highway. Spotlights, a crane, the car is on a flat-bed trailer, every side crushed, dented. It looks like a giant has taken a baseball bat and swung about a hundred times. All I can think is,
"If the car is that bashed and dented, how is our son who is only flesh and blood and breakable bones?"
At the hospital, the emergency room nurse ushers us into Trauma 1 at the Civic Hospital,
"Well, you might as well just walk in and look around. This is Trauma 1. As you can see, we were ready for the worst-case scenario."
Daniel stands at a sink, washing the blood off his face and arms by himself!
I looked at my son.
I slowly turn to look at the emergency room nurse, then at my husband.
I am shaking. My mouth drops open.
"If you had been here when Daniel arrived, you would have seen the entire team. As you can see, this young man does not even have a broken pinkie finger. If his seat belt hadn't been buckled up 10 seconds before, he would have been ejected from the car through the front windshield. You should have heard the doctor ranting and lecturing when she heard that he had barely clicked his seat buckle closed. She kept telling your son how lucky he is. His girlfriend is an angel. She literally saved his life."
Daniel is white. His face is drained of all colour and he is covered in blood.
"Not mine, mum. Erica got a cut on her forehead and bled all over me. Ma, I should be dead. I should be dead!! If Erica hadn't bugged me, my seat belt wouldn't even have been done up yet."
Later that night, as my husband prayed, he had an inner vision of angels catching the car as it rolled. That is the only practical explanation for us.
Angels ARE Real
Angels' deeds are more than simply the stuff of legends, children's bedtime tales, wishful thinking or fantasies of illiterate, ancient minds.
If you close your mind to these messengers of God, they sit like gold in a bank, useless unless we give them permission to act.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us.

MPs up before the beak?
Police have reported some MPs for their expenses claims. No-one should get too carried away, though - remember that the CPS thought that prosecutions in Labour's Cash for Peerages scandal were not in the public interest, and it may consider that to be the case again.

Would the CPS shelve their investigation?

This is only tinkering with what really needs to be done. Why has no one questioned Murphy over his 12/13 months claim for food his constant dip into petty cash and use of public money to pay his accountant or is it some are more equal than others.

I think all MPs' claims have been examined, Jim Murphy's included, and they should now be allowed to run their course through the system.

A few days ago I upgraded my Mac® operating system to the latest version Snow Leopard. Unlike Jo's upgrade to Windows 7, my Mac upgrade was painless. It took under 45 minutes to install. I then restarted my machine and voila—everything worked. There was a glitch: my printer and sound settings went back to the defaults.
A minor glitch and less than 45 minutes of lost productivity compared to Jo's many glitches and a lost day of work for a Windows® upgrade. To be fair Jo upgraded Windows XP to Windows 7, while I only upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard—not a comparable jump. However, I been using PCs as long as I have Macs (15+ years) and I've never had a major problem with upgrading a Mac. I have spent countless hours hovered over my Windows PC cursing Microsoft and their upgrade process.
While my high-end Mac cost $1500 more than Jo's Windows PC, in 3 years I haven't had any serious downtime do to computer malfunction. Jo, on the other hand, hasn't been so lucky. So while you may not want to spend the extra money for a home computer, having a Mac as a business computer is a great option. It's easy to use and has less technical problems than Windows computers. For any business that is computer dependent that's worth the extra money.
Would you consider using a Mac for your business?

This is my first time participating in Make Do Mondays, hosted by the lovely Ann Kroeker. It's funny, I think throughout the week of things that would make great MDM posts but then can't think of a single thing when I sit down to actually WRITE one such post. Ahh, the glories of a horrible memory.
But I remembered one this morning. Horray for me!!
I love them.
I love the beauty of them. I love the details of them. I love the heaviness of them. I love the warmth they offer. I love the sense of nostalgia they lend to a room. I love their sturdiness.
Let's face it, quilts have been around for a long, long time.
One thing I don't care for is the disappointment I get when a quilt becomes stained, or a seam gets torn, or the edges start to fray. I use to struggle with what to do next with a quilt that no longer "healthy" enough to leave out around the house or fold at the end of a bed. But not anymore. In fact, I went LOOKING for used up and torn quilts, even just quilt tops! Why? Because they can still be used.
Need a picnic blanket? Use an old quilt!
Need a blanket or two for emergencies? Use old quilts!
Going on a road trip and need something to snuggle up with? Use an old quilt!
Going to the drive ins? Take an old quilt! (we usually sit outside on camping chairs when we go so it gets a bit cool)
Going camping/rv-ing? Take old quilts!
Need to make a bed on the floor for sleep-overs? Use old quilts to make a "mattress"!
And the one need that sent me actually hunting for "new" old quilts/quilt tops? We do a Harvest Party every year instead of Halloween and I get loaner bales of hay (from Hubby's co-workers with horses) that I like to cover up with old quilts for decoration and comfort. Those things can get mighty pokey and itchy so the quilts make a nice comfy barrier and make the bales into instant seating.
So don't throw away your old quilts. And if you still aren't sold on the idea of holding on to them, let me know and I'll take them off your hands happily! I'll even pay for the shipping. =0)

The weather today in Virginia isn't the best so I'm glad we decided to go to the fireworks on July 2nd at the Northern Virginia 4-H in Harmony Hollow near the Appalachian Trail south of Front Royal. It took awhile to get out afterwards, but it was a great show. As my friend Luke says, the mountains create a natural surround-sound experience.
Beforehand, we stopped by Rappahannock Cellars to taste wine.

Well, I just spent a week in California. And let me first say that this is one impressive state! Of course, my reaction to California is largely conditioned by having spent a few months in the Minnesota winter. After single-digit weather, a full week of sun and 65 degrees was exceedingly pleasant.
But enough of this--let's get to the urban planning angle!
I've certainly heard about San Francisco's hills, but it was really amazing to see them for myself. The city fully occupies a peninsula with extremely steep hills. And when I say "fully occupies" I mean it--pretty much every available square foot on this space is used for streets and buildings. I have never before seen houses stacked so precipitously close to each other, up and down unbelievably steep hills.
It's very interesting to compare San Francisco to another hilly city: Pittsburgh. The curious difference between the two is that Pittsburgh is slightly less fully developed. Certainly, there are tens of thousands of Pittsburgh houses clinging to the sides of hills, ready to fall over at any moment. But nevertheless there are still trees and foliage. San Francisco, on the other hand, is almost completely built out (with the exception of dedicated parkland). Why this difference?
Of course, I would have to actually research this a bit to answer. My first guess is: weather. Pittsburgh has moderately heavy winters, which makes travel up and down hills fairly difficult. Northern California, on the other hand, doesn't really freeze over or get snow. I imagine the consequence of this is that it's easier to build there.
Ok, enough for now. More to come.
