Word of the deal leaked two weeks ago after Maker inked an agreement in principle to acquire Blip. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
With the acquisition, Maker said it will incorporate: Blip's technology platforms for online video distribution through Blip.com and partnerships with YouTube, Yahoo, AOL and Virgin America; Blip's proprietary web and mobile technology, including apps for Xbox, Roku, Apple iOS, Android and Kindle devices; and Blip's channel partnerships and premium content.
Blip CEO Kelly Day will remain with Maker as an advisor, according to the company. Blip execs joining Maker include Max Smith, who will become Maker's chief financial officer; Jason Krebs, who will lead sales efforts for Maker overall; and Jeff O'Connell, who will join as senior VP of technology.
"Blip's content partnerships and technology platforms are a great complement to Maker," Ynon Kreiz, exec chairman of Maker Studios, said in announcing the deal. "We will leverage these strategic parts of the business to supplement our offering, helping us continue to accelerate our growth. We are happy to welcome the Blip team to the Maker family."
Maker is seeking scale with the Blip deal, to expand distribution and advertising reach. Maker's 60,000-plus channels garnered 28.6 million unique visitors and served 530.7 million videos in July 2013, according to comScore. One of Maker's channels is PewDiePie, Swedish videogamer Felix Kjellberg, which is now the most-subscribed channel on YouTube.
Day commented, "We have long admired the success of Maker, and we think this is a great fit for Blip. For our production partners, this represents a great opportunity to tap into Maker's unparalleled resources. For our advertisers, this combination represents a unique offering in the market of highly engaging branded content and custom creative, with massive scale and reach across multiple platforms."
New York-based Blip, which had about 50 employees, is backed by Bain Capital Ventures, Canaan Partners, Ambient Sound Investments and individual angel investors.
Maker Studios, which has about 340 employees, is based in Culver City, Calif. The company has raised about $44 million to date. Investors include Time Warner Inc.; Greycroft Partners; Robert Downey Jr.; Elisabeth Murdoch; FUEL: M+C, the investment company for Jon Miller and Jimmy Yaffe; Maker chairman Ynon Kreiz; Daher Capital; and Lightstorm's Jon Landau.
In May, Maker Studios announced that Kreiz would replace co-founder and CEO Danny Zappin, who was to become a special adviser to Kreiz. Subsequently Zappin and three other Maker execs sued the company, alleging breach of contract and fraud. Maker Studios has said the lawsuit is "without merit and the allegations are baseless."

Let me explain a social norm here. Maybe it isn't a social norm anymore, but I happen to believe that saying someone should die is completely unacceptable. No matter who they are. People have been trying to cloak this in quasi-religious terms like "these are my core political beliefs." And what if I said my core political belief was that your favorite person should get trampled by stampeding boars? Does that make it okay? No – saying you believe someone should die is never okay. Saying someone is a friend and in the same breath saying they should be left to die for lack of medical care is in fact, the same as saying you believe they should die.
See, without some sort of meaningful health care reform, which includes forcing insurers to do things they don't want or gods forbid, actually fixing this completely broken "system," I WILL DIE. This is not "might die," this is not "could die," this is not "will die sooner." I will suffer an excruciating, ugly, horrifying death I would not wish on my worst enemy. Full stop.
And it's not just me. It's millions of people. It's some of my closest friends too. So, yeah, it's personal. It's always going to be personal for me. Because this is what I have to live with and worry about every day.
And to have the absolute gall to imply that this is a result of us "not working hard enough" or failing to "fix our situations" or blaming us in any way. That is the most insulting, most ignorant, most hateful, and most hurtful lie there is. It is complete bullshit, and shame on anyone who would spread this absolutely false information. And how dare anyone accuse us of not working hard enough. I work my ass off – far more than most people have probably ever done in their lives. I log on average 16 hours a day, working to get Tiger South launched. 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. Prior to that? I couldn't take a vacation for 12 YEARS and the last one I had was in 2008, excepting one day at VMworld in 2010.
When I apply for health insurance, do you know what happens? They say no. Do you know why they say no? Because I'm not profitable and because I require medical care. And still do. If I'm lucky I will get to pay >8x the premiums YOU do and continually have claims denied. So unless you're in my boat, you most likely have absolutely no business saying one word about the problems with health care in America. Ever. Watching a bunch of talking heads on TV does not make you informed – it makes you a gullible idiot, their favorite audience. On both sides of the debate. There is no truth from either side – they're all lying to score points with their quasi-religious political base.
This is not an issue where people "need to shut up and pull themselves up by their bootstraps." It's quasi-religious political rhetoric that caters to the ignorant extremist bases the politicians have cultivated. Again, on BOTH SIDES. There are no innocents here, just corrupt politicians lying to everyone. So you left-wingers need to take notice too."
— In which an acquaintance of mine makes the very personal case for why simply letting the free market sort out the systemic problems in US healthcare is unethical, unworkable and morally repugnant. Unless of course you see no problem with letting a lot of people die because it's not profitable for insurance companies to cover them.

Most Recent Store Reviews for Blinds.com
1 stars
This rating is only for the CashBack aspect of the click-thru link.
Out of three orders, only one was reported correctly. The other two were incorrectly reported and over the past eight months, they have not responded to any communications with FatWallet.com over the dispute. Even e-mails directly from myself to the CEO (who's e-mail said he reads them all) have not been responded to in this case. Although, he did response on a selection matter, so he does read them and responds when he feels like it.
The four star rating for the quality of products still stands. For shipping, it varies between five stars and two stars, which is why I gave them originally 4 stars for shipping, also.
5 stars
These folks are great. Customer service is helpful and goes above and beyond for their customers. I would recommend this store to anyone who needs blinds. I love my new blinds and the whole shopping experience was fast, easy, and top-notch!
4 stars
Fast Shipping
Says free shipping but for shutters they charge you $70 for the order and $4.95 (really?) for handling.
Cash Back reporting has been wrong both times and will ask them to correct it after the next order comes in. I guess that's a good review since I just said I am a repeat buyer :)
Got order 10 days with everything just as described, after I ordered it (and it was pretty complex).

Stationed on a walkway or porch, these homemade lanterns will extend a ghostly greeting and good-bye to all your holiday visitors.
Draw ghost eyes and mouths on the jugs. Tip: Leave the caps on while you do this, so the jugs don't dent.
Use the craft knife to cut a half-dollar-size hole in the back of each jug (a parent's job).
Arrange the ghosts near each other and string the lights between them, stuffing several bulbs into each of the jugs.

We got these for our Girl Scouts to use to march in our annual Santa parade. They will also use them for caroling we will be doing this season. We liked the idea of green because it is a Girl Scout color and we made matching scarves w/the girls. It was a great price and they came quickly.

Time for another installment in the "Gee-I-Should-Have-Been-A-Sports-Writer" mello-drama. Periodically you have read lamentations from the political side of the news business hinting that the typical citizen is not that much interested in what happens in Lansing or Washington, but they light up when the next big sports story hits the front page.And if you read this website often notice the box score and you know who is ready what. Consumption was off the charts last week as the Detroit Lions dominated the top ten stories of the day. Check out these numbers: There were seven Lion's related stories that ate up the news hole totaling an incredible 8,300 hits.Compare that to the meager 294 responses to the governor's wish list in his State of the State.Sad isn't it.Isn't it?Let's be blunt. Sports always trumps politics . The 8,300 good folks who couldn't wait to comment on the new coach or other related pig skin stories were not as eager to devour what the governor of the state had in store for them. After all who talks about that at the water cooler in the office? "Hey, did you hear the governor's going to create an office of New Americans?" OMG.Mr. Snyder would never complain about being passed over for sports news but other politicians observe that it is difficult for them to explain what they are doing because they can't get the public's attention.Now if one of those politicians breaks the law, or does something stupid which they are often do, the hits go off the charts, but the really important stuff such as tax cuts, the state budget, spending on schools, you name it, will never reach the 8,300 plateau.Maybe the governor should hire the new Lions coach to help hawk his agenda. What is that guy's name?

Treasurer will ask to dump Wall Street consultants
Dec 26, 2012 | 1 Comment
By The Associated Press
SALEM — State Treasurer Ted Wheeler plans to ask the Oregon Legislature for authority to hire more investment managers to replace some of the Wall Street consultants now handling portions of the state pension fund.
The treasurer's office says state workers could do the same work for less money.
An annual analysis of the world's largest pension systems found Oregon spends more than average on investment management and could save about $12 million a year. The report by CEM Benchmarking of Toronto found Oregon spends 0.69 percent of the $60 billion pension fund on management each year, compared with an average rate of 0.59 percent.
Wheeler will ask for hiring authority during the legislative session that begins in February, Treasury spokesman James Sinks told the Salem Statesman Journal.
The bottom line for the treasurer, Sinks said, is, "Why would you pay someone to do something when you can do it yourself?"
The same report also found that Oregon gets better investment returns than most of its peers. That's partly because Oregon has emphasized real estate and private equity funds, which weathered the Great Recession better than the bonds and publicly traded stocks that comprise most pension funds.
That focus probably wouldn't change much with more in-house management, although some emphasis would probably shift from private to public stocks, Sinks said.
Public pension costs have been in the spotlight lately as local governments and the state contend with a sharp rise in required taxpayer contributions due to substantial losses during the recession.

That's it -- Really? Since when has the state been worried about how much something or services cost? Oregon has spent more public dollars granting 'green companies' tax breaks, a failed ODOT computer system, and a virtually wasted federal stimulus package. But this is about the union's money, so it must be taken more seriously -- right! About the only accomplishment to this idea is the adding of more dues-paying union minions to the enormous pile already in place.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - A Wausau woman is in jail for allegedly throwing her baby in the garbage. 33-year-old Zoua Yang made an initial appearance on charges of concealing the death of a child and bail jumping Tuesday. She is being held on a $1,000 cash bond in the Marathon County Jail.
She allegedly gave birth to a child on Thursday, October 10th in her bathroom. Yang claimed she didn't know she was pregnant, and the newborn didn't cry or show signs of life when born. Investigators claim Yang made no effort to get medical help for the infant. She told investigators through an interpreter she had no health insurance.
A witness claims Yang put the baby's body in a plastic bag and placed it in a dumpster. Investigators were unable to recover the baby's body from the Marathon County landfill.
Yang will be back in court for a pretrial conference November 4th, and then before Judge Greg Huber for a preliminary hearing November 6th.

iOS Camera Necessaries
I don't know why, but many of my acquaintances on App.net (ADN) are interested in my choice of iOS allowed to live on my iPod. The previous description was with my social apps (link) and so this time I thought I'd cover my "photography folder".
There are thousands, and I mean thousands of "photography" apps, a lot of Instagram clones (filter-abuse) and "special effects" apps barely worth a look and a couple of these I have listed here fall into that category. However, the remainder are those I find to be absolutely essential high quality apps every iOS photographer should have, and I'll explain why I think so.
First I'll show you a screenshot of my iPod Photography folder. Beginning with the top-left is the requisite and always available "Photos" app. Though this app, which comes with every iOS device is a good one and offers rudimentary editing like cropping, tthird-party apps are definitely useful to have. Next to the Photos app is PhotoForge, the real "Photoshop" of iOS. Then comes PhotoStation, FlickrStackr, Video Camera, Fast Camera, Camera+, CloneCamera and finally InstaStory. I'll cover these in order. Links to more information about these apps is at the end of this post.
On the desktop Adobe Photoshop is way overrated. A better solution for photographers of any skill is OnOne Software's "Perfect Photo Suite". You save a lot of money (half the cost of Photoshop) and get 10-times the power and 100-times easier to use. PhotoForge for iOS is a lot like Perfect Photo Suite, and is surprisingly powerful and crazy-easy to use. Just about anything you would want to do to your photos to improve them, you can. Or ruin them, too (a-la Instagram filter-abuse).
What makes PhotoForge wonderful is that all touch-ups include controls to allow a little finesse in your effects. You can apply as little or as much of any particular effect you want. So you can practice the less-is-more rule of thumb. But more importantly are the genuine "touch-up" tools to help clean-up contrast, tone down or boost colors, fix too-dark or too-bright pictures and all the rest. It's a great app for enhancing your iOS pictures on-the-fly while out and about.
PhotoStation is one of those cheesy photo apps I've mentioned. Not really worth paying for because it doesn't do much, and to be truthful it's on my "delete this app" to-do list. But it does have a couple awesome, well-done effects, like converting a photograph into a line-drawing or making one of those "engraved" looks - I think it's called "embossed" or something. One problem with this app is how long it takes to start-up.
Because it does these few neato filters so well I've kept it around. But only about half the filters are worth playing with. The others are too Instagram-ish or downright ugly.
In truth PhotoForge can do a lot of this stuff very easily with only a few taps here and there. But having this app is handy because of how quickly the effects can be applied and then the picture shared to your social networks. It's like a shortcut when you already know in your head what you want to do to your picture before you go through the motions of creating the look.
If you were to buy only one of all these listed apps, FlickrStackr is the one you absolutely must get. I cannot recommend this one enough. It started out as a basic Flickr viewer and exploratorium and has grown into a powerful, essential photo-sharing-site tool. Not only does it allow searching and browsing and discovery, it allows you access to full-resolution versions of these pictures and is optimized for the Retina Displays of your iPhone or iPod or iPad.
FlickrStackr also allows you to upload full-resolution version of your own pictures and also to download full-resolution versions of what ever else you might find (if author-allowed). Furthermore, for an in-app purchase you can add 500px account access and the myriad of accounts you can add to FlickrStackr is truly amazing. I don;t use FaceBook or Instragram, but I can browse and download pictures from those services. I believe an in-app purchase will give you uploading privileges as well, but I'm not sure about those. The point being that you can use the in-app purchase to grab only the functions and abilities you need and actually use. This app is so strongly recommended I put two screenshot, so there!
Not only does FlickrStackr allow you access to so many different photo-sharing web sites, but also allows you to add and manage multiple accounts on the same service, such as Flickr itself.
The developer doesn't throw out updates to the app willy-nilly or all that often. But each update has brought with it really valuable and amazing new functionality and features.
Whenever I see an update for FlickrStackr I always read the update notes with great interest to see what new wonderful things are in store.
Seriously, if you never purchase any after-market camera or photo app for your iOS device, thinking the built-in apps suffice quite well (and they do) - you really should consider FlickrStackr as the absolutely essential add-on to make your device, as a handy mobile camera and picture viewer, complete.
Video Camera is just that: a video camera. Sure the in-built camera app (and many other camera apps) have video-recording functions. But Video Camera app is designed from the ground-upward to be a video recorder app first, not as an add-on or after-thought of a static camera app.
A couple examples of features include adding titles, taking snapshots while shooting video and several other things that are unique to a dedicated video recorder app as compared to what you'll usually find in a static camera app that also feature video recording ability. One feature I like is to record, stop, record again and have the new recording appended to the end of the previous recording and so on.
Fast Camera is just that: fast. really fast. No, really, really fast.
Even having a camera at your fingertips at all times isn;t enough to catch to moments that surprise you. Fast Camera is designed for those times. Though all aspects are customizable, the default setting is to start capturing pictures the moment the this app is opened, at 30 frames a second. It's not a video recorder, but could be. The idea is to continuously capture high-resolution pictures until you press the stop button. When you do all those pictures are dropped into a folder in the app's "light table". The idea being if there are a hundred pictures a second, at least one of them will be the perfect shot.
I don't use this app often, but when I do the perfect shot is always there. Every time. So if you're shooting children, pets, or even looking to surprise a friend or family member, Fast Camera is your tool of choice. And often, when something surprising happens out of nowhere, quick action to get Fast Camera started-up usually allows you to capture what you're hoping to capture a lot more often than not.
Camera+ is probably the best known, most popular after-market camera app on the AppStore. it's the "Angry Birds" of Camera Apps.
When I mentioned it was on-sale once, I a reply somewhat akin to "-sigh- what's so special about Camera+? I'm tired of hearing about it, ProCamera is the better option".
I disagree. I bought ProCamera and I'm not impressed. If I want that kind of professional control I'll buy a real camera. my iPod/iPhone/iPad having a camera is a convenience, nothing more. It's for those impromptu "why not" shots. Sure, there are pros who use the iPhone, etc. But they are Pros. For the average person Camera+ fits the bill wonderfully. It's a great in-between being more powerful and feature-rich than the built-in Camera app, but still easy to use. As for features? Heres the primary one I like best: the Camera+ "light Table".
Images taken are saved to the Light Table before going into my camera roll (and by extension: the PhotoStream). But more importantly is that the Camera+ Light Table can sync all Camera+ Light Tables via iCloud among all your iOS devices. This can be real handy-dandy and makes it easy to share pictures between devices without relying on the PhotoStream. And leaving pictures on the Light Table until you're ready to review them later, regardless which device you happen to be holding when ready to do so.
CloneCamera is just one of those hardly-useful-but-fun camera apps you can play around with. Worth a dollar? I don't know. I grabbed it when it went free a while back and I've tinkered with it and have created some really fun results.
As demonstrated in the startup screen, CloneCamera is a fun little utility that enables you to "clone" any subject (usually a person) throughout the same picture. Much like the EchoGraph type apps that allow you to shoot a short movie, then create an animated GIF file with a single "moving" part of the picture, CloneCamera uses the same method to allow you to clone your subject. (I have EchoGraph but I consider it a different subject, so I haven;t included it in my photography round-up).
The process is simple: take several pictures of the same scene, with your subject in a different position for each shot. Then these pictures are "stacked" and you simply "brush in" the subject from the different shots so they appear in your final shot. Hence: clones of your subject all appearing "at the same time" in the same picture.
The app name InstaStory is obviously a play on Instagram. As far as I know this app has no relationship directly or indirectly with the InstaGram app. Again, this is one of those I grabbed when it went free that one time, but in truthfulness I've never actually used it. Like PhotoStation mentioned above, this one is on my "delete it" to-do list but I just haven't done it yet because the idea is sound. Primarily to create colorful fun frames for your pictures as shown in my screenshot example.
I just haven't felt a need nor have I come across a good time to actually use this style of picture sharing.
Perhaps because I'm learning photography and how the pros do it, my mind set is to take pictures in an unspoiled way. That pictures should always remain in their natural "as the camera gave it to us" state, and that filters and touch-ups and other mucking-around should only happen on copies so the original is always there to go back to.
More info about PhotoForge, PhotoStation, FlickrStackr, Video Camera, Fast Camera, Camera+ and InstaStory. If you don't have Camera+ and are looking for an excellent free camera app, the absolute best is Camera Awesome! But if you already have Camera+, there's no need for it. Each link opens in a new browser tab. NOTE: "Video Camera" was increased to some unGodly price recently (as of this writing), wait for it to drop back to $3.
Happy 50 Years of Powder-keg Debate!
My View on theThe Powder Keg that is "Abortion Debate"
So it's 50 years of "Roe vs. Wade". Big whoop. I should say "who cares?" but obviously a lot of passionate views on the subject continue to proliferate. So I guess I'll throw my own into the mix. World-views are based on opinions and most opinions are developed through emotion. This doesn't through logic to the way-side, rather login simply cultivates the emotion that creates the opinion.
Debates can be an emotionally volatile experience because those emotions can cloud clear-thinking. This is plainly obvious in any kind of politically charged debate, where most participants will draw a scrimmage line in the sand and proclaim one side "Democrat" and the other "Republican" or generalize them into "Liberal" and "Conservative. However, like you and everyone else in the universe except perhaps Vulcans I have one foot on each side of that scrimmage line, the only question is how much weight I favor toward each foot. In other words: nothing is ever as simple as "black or white".
Since I may be putting my foot into my mouth I'll just continue using the "foot" theme as I continue my rhetoric on this subject. Let's get one thing clear here and now: you do not know me and I would never presume to know you, so let's avoid name-calling or labeling, shall we?
My Favorite Social iOS Apps
Friends on ADN (app.net) have asked me to list my favorite iOS apps. Ugh. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because I'm a self-proclaimed "App-Whore"; I love to discover new, fun apps and tend to grab as many as I can, even when they do the same things. Perhaps so others can save some money or discover new, fun apps. I'm not sure.
It's important to understand I am not a reviewer of any sort and neither am I a technical person, but I do know what I enjoy. So here is my list of favorite apps and I'll only give details to the App Store paid-for stuff. Okay, I'll try to be pithy and not bore you too much, but if you bail on this post now I won't hold it against you (well, I will, but I won;t tell you about it.) All links open in a new browser tab - not iTunes - and clicking an image will show a larger version, if that's your thing.
Twitter: I have far too many Twitter apps. Osfoora, Echofon, Twittelator Pro (Neue is beautiful but buggy as hell), Tweetbot, Twitterrific (no longer available) and more. Most of these are pretty much defunct (no updates in ages) and part of that is probably Twitter's apparent hostile attitude toward developers. So I was surprised to see a new version of Twitteriffic (version 5) be released. I'd given up on the others and just gone with the Official Twitter App until I grabbed Twitteriffic 5 - my new favorite. It doesn't have all the fancy features as other apps, but I find I rarely use those at all anyway. I like the large fonts and display in Twitteriffic, so it's my favorite and the one I use. Tweetbot is my runner-up favorite. The rest have been deleted off my iPod and relegated to the app graveyard, whose names shall forever never be mentioned again hence.
Can I tell you a Christmas story?
News reporting can be so emotionless and serious-sounding it tends to be a bit bland in my view. So I'd like to tell you a Christmas story, my way. It's a real story, genuine and true. You can skip my version and read the stoic newspaper version through the link at the end of this post.
Her name is Brooklyn and she's a high school senior with an idea that percolated in her head for weeks. A vague idea that turned into an all-out must-accomplish goal. Lightbulbs flashed in her head during a discussion with a classmate.
Everyone has dreams, no matter how grand or simple, a dream is a dream; it's a big deal to see it come to fruition. Brooklyn had the crazy idea of bringing a friend's dream into reality, but it seemed like an impossible task, until that epiphany occurred.
It was during the high school Home Coming assembly where Brooklyn was sitting with her friend Ali. Ali is a kind person, respected by everyone for the dignity she practices in approaching the challenges she faces through life.For instance Ali wrote in her blog:
"It is very difficult for me to receive blessings and attention. I would much rather give to others. It is a process to learn to receive for me and I find myself struggling at times."
Last year, Ali told her friends she didn't want presents. Instead, she asked them to bring a few bucks to hand out randomly to people who seemed down on their luck in downtown Seattle.

Chakra Khan welcomes you to EHI!
Thanks for dropping in!
Chakra Khan offers a lot of ways to learn about energy healing – perhaps for your own purposes, or maybe because you're an energy healing or integrative practitioner. Or maybe you are looking for a private consultation.
Let's Start with the Cool, Free Stuff!
Four common energy issues and ways to counteract them – all tongue in cheek and playful – but completely serious about Chakra Sanity. Why let energy get you down? It's yours and it's in your power to manage your Chakras! A gift to you from Chakra Khan and EHI. Learn more here.
In-bodied & Feeling Fine!
A Free, Live, Online Course that offers 3 practical, simple skills for working with your Chakras.
It's 1.25 hours, runs every couple of weeks and is a great way to gain exposure to the Chakras and begin working with them to evolve and grow – painlessly, easily and with simple intention and attention.
Jill Leigh (aka Chakra Khan) presents the material, and you can bring questions, curiosities and your thoughts about energy, the Chakras and Aura.
Chakra Khan brings her unique blend of expertise and humor, and her passion for energy and conscious awareness to participants who are curious about energy and its effects on their experience.
Oh, and did I mention FREE?
Online Courses
There are a broad spectrum of Online Courses you can attend. The Courses are arrayed under 3 main categories.
Learn about the Chakras and the Aura, clearing and healing practices for self-care, energy hygiene and the tools and resources to Be Your Own Healer. The two Chakra Courses – Inbodied & Feeling Fine (free) and Chakras: Metabolizing Like You Mean It! are pre-requisites for some of the material in Conscious Awareness.
Conscious Awareness
Courses that invites exploration of consciousness, the Cosmos and spiritual awareness. The Chakras and Aura are just the beginning (although they're amazing and provocative and deeply enriching) of what you can discover as you move more deeply into experiencing conscious awareness. Frankly, it's Chakra Khan's favorite playground!
For example, you can actively work with your energy field to manifest your experience – and know where to go and what to do when something you want to create isn't manifesting. Truly useful and really cool knowledge to have.
There's also solid structural and foundational material about Clairvoyance and Conscious Channeling, too. If you see energy or channel energy or information through guides – and you don't know how you do it – you might want to learn. Reading or channeling energy without a solid understanding of what your energy body is doing is akin to operating heavy machinery without training. Not recommended, right?
Chakra Khan offers three programs for practitioners.
Your Body & Work – Energy Hygiene for you and your practice
This Program focuses on grounding practitioners in work with the Chakras and Aura, self-care and clearing practices. The three Courses offered in Roots form the basis of self-care and clearing.
In addition, there are two additional Online courses that the practitioner will complete focused on specific energetic implications that occur in therapeutic and clinical practice.
Your Consciousness & The Cosmos – Setting the stage for healing
This Program is designed to open the practitioner's awareness to the vital role of consciousness, intention, Cosmic awareness in healing [or spirituality, however you want to define that amazing, life-affirming presence of that which is larger than all of us].
Depending on the practitioner's interest, the Program includes Clairvoyance and/or Channeling training and practice groups.
Energy Healing: Body, Mind & Spirit – healing, remedies, protocols and treatments
A comprehensive, in-person training held once/year for practitioners who have completed the Your Body & Work and Your Consciousness & The Cosmos programs.
The 8-day course includes:
Holistic & Energy Anatomy
Energetic Assessment (reading the Astral, Etheric and Mental energy bodies)
Energy Hygiene Protocols
Hands-on and -off Healing – Etheric (body), Astral (emotional) Mental/Causal
Vibrational Tools
Beyond that, there are additional vehicles and forums for practitioners who want to build and grow their practice, integrate modalities for a comprehensive patient offering and pursue one-on-one coaching with Chakra Khan.

Anyone who actually looked over my "top 101 industrial songs" list might have noticed the fact that it was fairly Hate Dept.-heavy. In fact, there were four tracks from Omnipresent, Hate Dept.'s 1996 album, on the list, three of which were in the top 20. And the fact that there were only four tracks on the list is more a testament to my personal restraint than what I actually think about the album.
I still remember the first time I listened to Omnipresent; I'm sad to say it's not a thrilling moment of "getting it". I was in my friend's car, riding out from the Atlanta suburb of Fayetteville, heading into the city, undoubtedly for some aspect of our weekly ritual of going to Tower Records, seeing movies, and god only knows what else. My friend drove, so he brought along CD's and we mainly listened to what he chose. On the rare occassion I drove, the role was reversed. In this case, he put on Omnipresent, which must have been very new. I was young, 19, and stupid in that way that every teenager is; I was in that phase that some people never grow out of, where you're so excited about the new, wonderful albums you've just found that you want to play them for everyone, so any moment you're listening to someone else's music instead of what you've chosen is a waste. I'd had no previous exposure to Hate Dept. and I was probably thinking about how awesome 16 Volt's Letdowncrush was or some such bullshit, so I kept thinking "Who gives a fuck about 'This Doggy Bites'? I want to listen to my music."
Embarassing to realize now, but I obviously warmed on it, though I'm not sure how quickly I picked up a copy. I remember more about finally finding a copy of Meat.Your.Maker, quite the feat in Atlanta, where I had to search for months or order CD's from record stores to be sure to get my hands on them; it was much more in tune with my juvenile, aggressive sensibilities, which makes perfect sense, as Seibold was basically my then-age when he wrote it. In all the ways it was punky, in-your-face, and vulgar for the purpose of giving offense, Omnipresent was not.
Obviously at some point (maybe after I started getting laid), I did recognize something, some kernal within Omnipresent that spoke to me and still does to this day.
Meat.Your.Maker, while good, wasn't a complex or layered album, more interested in youthful bravado and aggression, and lacking the technology and expertise to push it forward. Technical Difficulties, the long-awaited third album of 1999, polished off too many edges and tried too hard to balance the punk, rock, and electronic aspects into something palatable to everyone. It was a great album, but not one that I continue going back to, despite the inclusion of "Hit Back" on my list (and the belief that it's a perfect gateway track for non-industrial listeners to start getting an understanding of industrial music's range, styles, and appeal). And it was a long, long wait for Ditch, the last Hate Dept. album to be released, back in the floundering days of 2004, when a few bands attempted a last stand against the stampede of boring EBM blandness, clutching futilely at straws of the greatness that once was 90's industrial-rock. Easily the most stylistically varied of the albums, Ditch did what it did masterfully, though it's hard to imagine that the patchwork of different styles and tones pleased everyone that wasn't a Hate Dept. fan already.
Omnipresent, for its part, still seems different than the rest of the Hate Dept. catalogue; it speaks much more to the electronic side of industrial music and Seibold's love of synthpop, leaving the aggression to boil beneath the surface of the music. What could easily be mistaken for synthpop tracks often burn with a bubbling rage just beneath the veneer of pop songwriting."Won't Stay Lit" is the pefect example of this, his vocals brimming with disgust over the top of an incredibly simple piece of instrumentation.
The songs, though written very differently, feel much more tied-together through the tone of the production and the instruments used. If there's any meaning hidden in the title "Omnipresent", perhaps it's reflected in the way everything ties together so well.
The only regret I have about the album is the fact that the instrumental "Dreams Of Conspiracy" was included on the album instead of the song "Omnipresent" that its music and the album's title were taken from. (It also began a trend continued with Technical Difficulties, where the title track of the album wasn't actually on the album, instead ending up on a releated EP.)
Though I ranked "Won't Stay Lit" as my top track of all-time, largely due to the maudlin synthpop tone mixed with those bitter vocals and the message they convey, the songs "Rejoice" (which shares many similarities with "Won't Stay Lit") and "Flesh Feeds Soul" are probably better tracks, in my personal opinion. I suppose I just thought that "Won't Stay Lit" better represented my views on industrial music, or it was all just a matter of whim.
"Flesh Feeds Soul" will probably always be my favorite track by Hate Dept., combining excellent songwriting, interesting samples, good vocals, lyrics that speak to me personally (for whatever reason), and a varied structure that was more than the typical verse-chorus that most industrial-rock bands can write for.
There are certain albums you love from the moment you listen to them and consume voraciously, until the moment you become bored with it and can't stomach the constant rotation anymore; Technical Difficulties may have skirted the edges of this phenomenon, but the Hate Dept. discography is hard-pressed to not stay in constant rotation for me. And Omnipresent, out of all those albums, still feels the most fresh and prescient, even 16 years later.

Northwest High School graduation. Over 750 graduates. When did this school get so big??? Sent in to Show Off
You might think that, in an era when higher education is crucial to economic advancement, California high schools would base their graduation requirements on the admission requirements for California's public university systems.
You would be wrong.
But some districts are trying to do just that. The blog Educated Guess looks at the issues and challenges involved.

|Relation between $T_{cc}$ and X(3872) from QCD
|J. M. DiasS. Narison1F. S. NavarraM. NielsenJ.-M. Richard2
|We have studied, using double ratio of QCD (spectral) sum rules, the ratio between the masses of $T_{cc}$ and X(3872) assuming that they are respectively described by the $D-{D}^*$ and $D-\bar{D}^*$ molecular currents. We found (within our approximation) that the masses of these two states are almost degenerate. Since the pion exchange interaction between these mesons is exactly the same, we conclude that if the observed X(3872) meson is a $D\bar{D}^*+c.c.$ molecule, then the $DD^*$ molecule should also exist with approximately the same mass. An extension of the analysis to the $b$-quark case leads to the same conclusion. We also study the SU(3) breakings for the $T^s_{QQ}/T_{QQ}$ mass ratios.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - More small businesses have come forward to
accuse the owners of a south end apartment building of not paying their bills.
From local vendors to the out-of-state management company, the bills are
stacking up for Blue Diamond Apartments and their New York owners.
Brenton Wombles wants his money. He said Blue Diamond Apartments on Blue
Lick Road owes thousands of dollars in past due bills for cleaning work his
company did months ago. "And now I'm finding out about all these other
people," Wombles said.
James Conner, owner of Conners Flooring Solutions, said he's owed more than
$20,000 in flooring work and late fees for work at Blue Diamond.
Straightedge Painting produced invoices for almost $1,500 in painting work
its owners claim is unpaid.
Another Louisville company, S&D Flooring Installation, claims Blue
Diamond racked up almost $30,000 in unpaid bills.
Conners and Wombles said they tried to get their money from Blue Diamond's
on-site manager Pam Freeman. They said she's the person who hired them.
"Pam's acknowledgement is, I'm not responsible for the bills
here," Wombles said. "It's Strategic Property Services Group."
Strategic Vice President of Operations Ed Whittington said in an email, "We
do not control the money," adding the owners "no longer listen
Whittington claimed his property management firm also is owed "a
substantial amount in unpaid management fees" and said to contact the
person he said is in charge of the New York-based property company that owns
Blue Diamond Apartments, Julian Blumenthal.
Blumenthal said Conner Flooring Solutions would be paid "as soon as
possible" but did not return phone or text messages about the other
companies that claim they are owed money.
Wombles told us his last call to the property management company was not
encouraging. "They said, 'We can't pay your bills right now,
unfortunately. We can't pay a lot of bills right now because the company has
been struggling for the past couple months.'"
Wombles said he's going to follow the lead of Conner Flooring Solutions and
file a mechanics lien on the property in Jefferson County Court in an attempt
to force Blue Diamond to pay up.
Whittington said Wombles's bills are not nearly as overdue as Wombles
"He is trying to jump on the bandwagon to cause trouble,"
Whittington wrote in an email, adding Wombles cleaning contract was terminated.
Wombles said the only reason he's not working out at Blue Diamond anymore is
because they didn't pay him.

Great Product!! I had just previously colored my hair a 4R. Not happy with how it turned out. After staring at many many colors trying to find a way to fix my awful hair color I found this!!!!! I am very pleased with how it turned out. I used a 20 developer (One N Only Argan Oil developer) And only left it on for 20 minutes. I also use One N Only Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner, also used the deep moistture repair mask right after coloring my hair as well. My hair is soft and am very happy about the overall color i achieved. The only thing i always will recommend is to be in a well ventilated area when dying your hair!!!! The smell is strong!!!!! You wont regret using this product!!!!! August 23, 2014
Great Dye I don't know what the salons use, but I prefer the Hicolor line to it. I have a sensitive scalp and find the salon stuff usually burns. Also, being someone with dark hair who isn't a fan of bleach, I have never really been satisfied with the salon jobs I've had in the past. With bleach, my hair is dead. Without it, my hair just doesn't lighten as much as I want. With HiColor, I am able to go shades lighter without the burn or the bleach. My hair stays soft and feels healthy. I've tried the reds, blondes, and coppers and love them! I don't waste money on the salon anymore, of course. I just do it myself! July 14, 2014
works well! I had looked at reviews here prior to getting this product and followed the advice of some of the ladies here. Thank you so much! I'm not a pro but i have done my own coloring on/off for many years. I have to say the results are just perfect! No mess, easy to use, and I also got the standard packet of pre-color treatment and post-coloring sealer...my hair is soft, color is just what I wanted, and no, it did NOT run off. I have some Wen brand shampoo/conditioner so I'll use that for the next week to help the color, but will go back to my usual no sulfate shampoo and conditioner after. I plan to return to my childhood hair color of light auburn :) My hair did like my mom and got darker as an adult. She remained blond, I turned dark brunette with reddish undertones, but you can't see them much at all. I look way better as lighter brunette. lol. April 21, 2014
Lovee this color! I love love this color! It's perfect color. I don't want it to be too crazy red! My natural hair color is black. So, this product really works! I will buy it again! April 19, 2014

City to host first Earth Day conversation
By Tara Nelson
Blaine city staff have scheduled an informal community meeting to gather ideas about what a small community can do to help both the global and local environments.
Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic said while large cities across the nation are taking the lead in addressing climate change, energy dependency and other issues, small cities do not appear to be participating. Tomsic said he thinks this is because small cities, like individuals, often believe their impact will be negligible and they don't have the resources to make a difference.
The city of Blaine, however, is in a unique situation because it operates its own electric utility in addition to water and sewer.
"As a municipal power and water provider we are interested in conserving these resources," Tomsic said. "We are also interested in hearing from our citizens about what they think we should be doing to be better environmental stewards. We understand that change will come one person, one family and one community at a time."
The city has scheduled the meeting for 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 22 at the Blaine senior and community center. For more information, visit www.cityofblaine.com.

As much as many of us don't want to face it, that new school year is right around the corner. And for one school in Goshen the new year means new technology. Bethany Christian Schools are giving all of their students either iPads or Laptops. They handed out the gadgets to half the students Monday night, the other half will get them Tuesday.
Yatin Patel who is the Father of Bethany Christian Student said, "This is a wonderful idea for the students." Patel is excited his son has a new laptop for the upcoming school year. "I think it's a great idea cause it's going to improve education."
Parth Patel agrees with his dad this new Macbook Air Laptop will be a great tool for school. "We can turn in all our papers online, if we forgot to write down our assignment say for calculus we can look it up online. If we're having problems we can ask a friend or a teacher," said Patel.
Another bonus? It'll replace some of those heavy textbooks. "I love it I can't tell you how many times I'd come home with shoulder pain cause of how heavy my backpack is from the heavy calculus book."
Bethany Christian Schools are giving all 275 of their students new technology. "One of our key goals here is preparedness for the 21st century just really having kids converse with this technology and being able to use it," said Principal Allan Dueck.
4th and 5th graders get iPads. 6th through 12th graders get laptops. And the best part? They're free to the students. "We have gathered funds from some interested supporters, friends of the school cause we did not want this cost to in any way be a barrier for individual students."
The only potential extra cost is $25 to buy insurance for the new devices. But no one seems too worried about the students not being able to take care of the pricey new equipment. Yatin Patel said, "They're responsible kids...they'll be fine. They'll probably handle the computers much better than the parents do."
They're just happy about what the new technology will allow students to do. "They can continue to learn even when they're home," said Yatin Patel.

Common lifestyle factors that may affect RA
About 1.3 million Americans are affected by rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease thought to be caused by genetic and environmental factors.
Strong medication can help prevent joint destruction and painful symptoms.
But there are other things that may affect RA risk and symptoms. In the big picture, these play relatively minor roles in RA (compared to, say, taking the right medication).
Still, here are some factors to keep in mind.
--By Tammy Worth, Health.com
One factor that affects RA is smoking, says Susan Goodman, MD, a rheumatologist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.
"Smoking clearly has an impact -- it makes it worse and increases the likelihood of getting it," she says. "There clearly is something about smoking that is a bad actor."
RA nonsmokers have fewer swollen, painful joints than smokers, research suggests. RA smokers are three times as likely to have rheumatoid factor -- a sign of more severe disease -- and twice as likely to have joint damage.
The link between coffee or tea and RA is debatable, Dr. Goodman says.
Research has suggested that decaf coffee (four or more cups a day) can increase the risk of getting RA, but caffeinated coffee has no impact, and tea may reduce risk. Other research found no correlation between decaf and RA.
One issue, though, is that coffee may make some RA medications, such as methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall), less potent.
"There is not a consistent message there," Dr. Goodman notes. Check with your doctor; it may be fine to have a cup of joe.
While research on the topic is scant, there does seem to be a link between weather and RA symptoms. It is likely that barometric pressure and temperature changes have the biggest impact on symptoms.
"Many, many, many people say it, so my sense is it is something we just don't have an appropriate investigational design to test," Dr. Goodman says.
She says any change in climate tends to worsen symptoms -- so RA patients may fare better when the weather is more consistent.
Seasonal allergies
As with the other factors on the list, the link between RA and allergies may vary from person to person.
Still, there is some research that suggests that people with RA are less likely to have hay fever. And people who do have both may have less-severe RA symptoms.
"My guess is that some of the allergy medications may help with some (RA) symptomatic therapy," Dr. Goodman says. "Or it could just be that people notice RA symptoms less because they are so distracted and miserable with their allergies."
In a recent study in the journal Rheumatology, researchers asked about 1,800 people about their alcohol-drinking habits and RA.
They found that people who had at least one drink three or more days a week were four times less likely to have RA than nondrinkers.
Also, RA patients who did drink tended to have milder symptoms than those who didn't.
Vitamin D
The link between vitamin D and RA is tricky.
Research suggests women in the northeastern U.S. are at greater risk of RA than those in sunnier regions. Lack of sun can cause vitamin D deficiency. And vitamin D deficiency has been linked with other autoimmune diseases.
"Vitamin D has a lot of interesting immune effects and metabolic effects and is critical to bone health," Dr. Goodman says. "Whether taking vitamin D will delay the onset or prevent it seems less clear-cut, but it is an important part of overall bone health."
It's tough to predict the impact of pregnancy on RA. Women generally stop taking medication in pregnancy because the drugs may hurt the fetus.
For some, RA symptoms improve or even go into remission, Dr. Goodman says. She attributes this to the fact that the immune system is suppressed during pregnancy.
But others can experience even more pain than they normally do. And those who have a great pregnancy can have a flare-up after they give birth.
There are many benefits to breast-feeding, including a possible reduction in RA risk.
A 2004 study in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism found that, compared to women who didn't breast-feed, those who spent a total of one to two years breast-feeding had a 20% lower chance of getting RA. Those who did for two years or more had a 50% reduced risk.
A 2008 Swedish study showed similar results. Breast-feeding for up to one year was associated with a 25% reduced risk, and breast-feeding for 13 months or more was linked to a 50% reduction in risk.
The data are a bit up in the air when it comes to hormones and RA.
Studies have not found a link between contraceptives and the risk of RA or the severity of disease.
A 2004 study found that women with irregular menstrual cycles do have a higher RA risk.
"The data aren't completely clear" on this topic, Dr. Goodman says. But hormones may play a role in reducing symptoms. "There is no question that estrogen can decrease pain, so part of some of the perimenopausal flares may be caused by estrogen withdrawal."

Geetanjali (Hindi) is the Hindi version of the heart rending Bengali book of poetry written by India's Nobel laureate in Literature and Bengal's most cherished and influential figure, Rabindranath Tagore.
Summary Of The Book
Geetanjali, the illustrious work of Rabindranath Tagore will always remain a memorable piece of work for generations to come. The original Bengali book had 157 poems and it was published in the year 1910. Its English version, which was translated by Tagore himself, has a collection of 103 poems and it was published in the year 1912. This masterpiece by the multi-talented and highly acclaimed poet definitely deserves to reach the widest possible audience.
The word Geetanjali is a fusion of two words, geet, which means song, and anjali, which means offering. Geetanjali broadly means an offering of songs. Geetanjali (Hindi) is a precise Hindi translation of the original version and it communicates the essence and spirit of the original book to the readers. For this reason, the Hindi version is said to be as good as the original.
Metaphysical elements, images, and myriad themes abound in Geetanjali (Hindi). Tagore's innermost feelings and views about life and nature reach readers through his poems. His poems transport them to a completely different world, making the words of his poems linger in their mind forever.
For his work Geetanjali, Rabindranath Tagore received the Nobel Prize in Literature in the year 1913.
About Rabindranath Tagore
Rabindranath Tagore was not just a poet, he was also a short story writer, dramatist, novelist, painter, essayist, and song composer.
Tagore has innumerable works to his credit, both in Bengali and in English. Some of his popular books are Sanchaita, The Post Office, The Home And The World, Galpa Guchho, Neejer Katha, Chokher Bali, and Gora. A number of other books compiling his short stories and poems have also been published.
This famous Bengali poet was the youngest of thirteen children. He never liked attending school and hated formal education. Tagore made his nation proud by becoming the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. He is considered one of the most outstanding creative artists of modern India.

Lisa Nave would have been about 53 when she ended up incapacitated at the nursing home in the 9600 block of N. Sepulveda in North Hills. Police say she's been in a vegetative state for the past 5 years. When the call first came out that she had been shot I would have never known the extent of this story. That, as police put it, Lisa's brother - Lance Anderson - came the home where he was known. He went to his sister's room, pulled a gun and fired one shot into her head. Lt. Paul Vernon says he put his gun down and went to a courtyard where he waited for police.
It was while at the nursing home that we would learn that Anderson's wife was shot and killed at the Anderson condo in Canyon Country maybe as many as 12 hours earlier. That's when Anderson's neighbor's heard some "boom boom" sounds. The Lt. framed the story as apparently a pair of "mercy killings" and why? Anderson's wife, said Vernon, had dementia. His sister, Lisa Nave, was in a near-comatose state.
Anderson was taken into custody. Meanwhile, as the investigation continues, his Canyon Country neighbors say they're shocked. And, his sister's North Hills neighbors are too.

Feb 5 2013: Hi Casy, back again hey?
Depends on who's talking and who's listening, or seem to be listening and the rules of engagement.
My answer is yes and no.
As individuals we can, to some extent, create our own reality as to what constitutes proof of an answer.
For example, two fellow Christians talking about the existence of God, will likely conclude the proof of the that answer is everywhere.
As we introduce discipline to the question such as the concepts of intelligence, objectivity, truth, appreciation of the subject matter, factor of logic and sanity, etc, people begin to develop their own identity.
Some areas of knowledge are more subject to the answers being interlocking to the question as a reflection of what constitutes proof in a manner that is satisfying to the most demanding of critics. Does that constitute proving an answer? In my book of knowledge and sense of sanity, I'd would tend to concede it does.
I must admit I have lots of trouble wrapping my brain around these creative entanglements. Thank for taking me out of my comfort zone!
Feb 7 2013: Years ago communist Russia rejected inherited traits by genetics as opposed to their locally proclaimed science of acquired traits which they pushed because it better fit with their communist form of government. In this case even science was not governed by what had been clearly established by that time, but instead a selective determination of governmental leaders.
Obviously, the theory of acquired biological inheritance of traits has since been completely rejected as a proven answer to this question, despite the powers that be.
Politically driven guidance or correctness is not the only example of how the "proof" of answers can be imposed over more objective methods, but it is all around us even in our modern era human societies.
Don't you agree?
