Many of OL&T's clients have asked for our thoughts on how the contract negotiations between the ILA and the USMX could affect shipping logistics from US East Coast and Gulf Ports should an agreement fail to be reached before the end of December this year. Additionally, they would like our thoughts on what they might do in preparation should the ILA strike put work slowdowns into practice.
Giving our best judgment, OL&T strongly believes that an agreement will be reached and a strike, work-stoppage, slowdown, etc is not likely. Before getting into our answers and potential strategies, here is a brief background on the situation to date.
The ILA represents 'labor' at US East and Gulf Coast marine terminals and container ports from Maine to Texas. The USMX represents employers of the East and Gulf Coast shipping industry, including 24 container carrier members, and every major marine terminal operator and port association on the US East Coast and Gulf. The master contract under which the two parties have been working for the past three years is scheduled to expire on December 29th and the ongoing negotiations have been highly publicized in the media with references to strikes by labor if a new agreement is not reached. In September of this year, with the assistance of a Federal Mediator, the parties agreed to extend the expiration of the current labor contract to December 29, 2012. The purpose of extending was, in large part, to avoid any labor disruptions prior to the 2012 national election.
OL&T's Guide to the ILA/USMX Labor Negotiations
Here is our practical guide to the ILA/USMX labor negotiations. It includes possible outcomes and how they may affect you, according to OL&T Director of Global Marine, John Nikolich.
What may happen if NO agreement in labor negotiations is reached?
Our take: If a strike or a slowdown of any kind does happen, it will not last for more than a few days. In the event of a labor stoppage, the Federal Government could invoke Taft-Hartley - a United States federal law that restricts the activities and power of labor unions. The presence of a Federal Mediator helped secure an extension in September, and we have a fairly strong belief that an agreement will be reached before the December deadline. At worst, there may be one or two isolated work slowdowns at 'smaller ports' but the chance of one happening at any of the major US East Coast/Gulf ports like NY/CHS/BALT/NORF/CHS/SAV/MIA/NOLA/HOU is slim to none.
Will there be Ocean Carrier congestion surcharges in Q4 2012?
Our take: Congestion surcharges will apply on all cargoes - loading at or destined to - U.S. locations, regardless if they are loaded or discharged from ocean vessels at US, Mexican, or Canadian ports; however, if NO labor unrest occurs - these charges will NOT be applied.
Can't we just re-route cargo via non-ILA ports, Canada, or the US West Coast?
Our take: Many shippers are looking for non-ILA options – but there are really no viable alternatives. ICL is the only container line calling Chester, PA – and their service is strictly US to N. Europe. In Canada, ILA Local 1657 has 120 members which supply all checking related labor for all stevedoring operations in the Port of Montreal – and ILA local 1657 is responsible for all checking related work on cargo ships as well as all terminal work. Moreover, Canadian ports will give preference to cargoes that had previously moved through their facilities.
Similarly, West Coast ports will also give preference to cargo that was previously routed their way and the ILWU already expressed support for their East Coast brethren in previous months – so they will not be extremely willing to expedite cargo that previously moved with the East and Gulf Coasts.
What can US Importers and Exporters do to prepare?
Our take: Besides staying informed on the matter and continuing to address any concerns with your OL&T CSR, shippers should consider building additional supply at US or overseas facilities that are dependent on shipping via US East and Gulf Coast ports.
Also, we have found that typically, there is an end of quarter/end of year push to ship cargo. Consider starting that push two to three weeks earlier in 2013. Ironically, the slowdown of European imports from the US may help keep cargo that's headed for other global destinations moving through East Coast ports.
Once again, we would like to emphasize our belief that NO strike will actually occur. We encourage you to subscribe to the official OL&T blog and to follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date on our view of the negotiation and all our important news.

Steyn to leave SA?
If the rumour mill is true, then Springbok pivot Morne Steyn could be leaving South Africa to ply his trade in France with Top 14 outfit Stade Francais.
The Bulls star has been linked with a move overseas by French website Le Rugby Nistere, who reported that Steyn had sat down with Stade Francais management prior to last Saturday's Test at Twickenham.
Steyn was not included in the Springboks' matchday 22 for that match, won 16-15 by the visitors.
Against Scotland and Ireland, Steyn - who has been struggling with his form - was warming pine for South Africa and seems to have fallen behind both Pat Lambie and Elton Jantjies in the Bok pecking order.
And with Johan Goosen also set to return from injury, it doesn't look good for Steyn who has been South Africa's first-choice fly-half ever since coming on as a replacement to kick the winning penalty against the British and Irish Lions in 2009.
The move has been denied by the Bulls franchise.

Topic - B1 boot advice please
alexgoodey on 26 Sep 2013
Hi peeps
I currently own a pair of Karrimor Coniston eVent boots for hillwalking which are very comfy but the structure is steadily degrading and the support is gradually decreasing, so I'm starting to think about the next steps - new boots and winter walking.
I am thinking about a B1 boot that'll last me from where I am now, an ML trainee, to where I hope to be in five years, an ML(W) holder.
I don't have a huge budget, so any ideas below Ł200 would be preferred - also, as I'm in Snowdonia regularly and occasionally pop into the Ellis Brigham discount store - feel free to include any older models which they might still have in stock (this is surprisingly common as I'm size 12)
I would prefer to have a single pair of boots suitable for all season use in the UK, fairly light, but stiff enough for basic crampons and supportive. It'll need to comfortable for 4-5 days wear at a time.
Over to you, hill sages... Thanks in advance!

The highest water from the Des Lacs River has moved past Foxholm and, it appears, Burlington. But that surge of water is combining with local runoff to bring crests soon downstream on the Mouse River.
Here are the latest projections - beginning west of Sherwood where new releases from Canadian dams along with local runoff are combining to cause as expected crest of 22.5 feet on Saturday - about a foot higher than the crest hit early in April.
At Foxholm, the crest has passed and the Des Lacs River is expected to drop off quickly - and should be below flood stage by morning.
The level at Burlington is also dropping, although the Weather Service does not provide a forecast for Burlington.
At the Boy Scout Bridge, west of Minot, a crest of 15.1 feet is expected tomorrow. That's more than a foot higher than the crest a few weeks ago.
In the city of Minot, the crest appears to have been reached early this morning, a little more than two feet below flood stage.
At Logan, it appears the crest was reached this afternoon at 36.4 feet - the 7th highest crest on record at Logan.
At Sawyer, the Mouse is expected to creep into 'moderate' flood stage tomorrow, hitting 24.5 feet, the 4th highest crest on record.
In Velva, the river is expected to rise another few inches, topping out at 1507.2 tomorrow morning, the 7th highest crest on record.
In Towner, the Mouse should climb to 56.4 feet on Thursday - the 4th highest crest on record.
East of Bantry, the crest projection is 14.2 feet - major flood territory and the 3rd highest crest on record.
Near Karlsruhe, the Wintering River is projected to reach 8.1 feet on Wednesday.
And near Willow City, Willow Creek is expected to hit 12.3 feet on Thursday.
With Sherwood projected to hit a new season high in a few days, it remains to be seen if other places along the Mouse River will also see higher crests as Canadian water is flushed through the system, or if Lake Darling will hold back enough water to keep us from getting higher levels.

A Note on the Theme of Too Many Instruments
AbstractThe "difference" and "system" generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators for dynamic panel models are growing steadily in popularity. The estimators are designed for panels with short time dimensions (T), and by default they generate instruments sets whose number grows quadratically in T. The dangers associated with having many instruments relative to observations are documented in the applied literature. The instruments can overfit endogenous variables, failing to expunge their endogenous components and biasing coefficient estimates. Meanwhile they can vitiate the Hansen J test for joint validity of those instruments, as well as the difference-in-Sargan/Hansen test for subsets of instruments. The weakness of these specification tests is a particular concern for system GMM, whose distinctive instruments are only valid under a non-trivial assumption. Judging by current practice, many researchers do not fully appreciate that popular implementations of these estimators can by default generate results that simultaneously are invalid yet appear valid. The potential for type I errors—false positives—is therefore substantial, especially after amplification by publication bias. This paper explains the risks and illustrates them with reference to two early applications of the estimators to economic growth, Forbes (2000) on income inequality and Levine, Loayza, and Beck (LLB, 2000) on financial sector development. Endogenous causation proves hard to rule out in both papers. Going forward, for results from these GMM estimators to be credible, researchers must report the instrument count and aggressively test estimates and specification test results for robustness to reductions in that count.

The Eastern Iowa Airport is seeing an increase in passengers. Last year more than one million people traveled through the airport. Officials expect that number to rise and say the building needs upgrades to keep up with demand.
Judy Bowers flies out of the Eastern Iowa Airport as much as she can but says having more destinations would make it easier to choose the local airport.
"It would definitely be better if you don't have to transfer planes," said Bowers, who lives in Coralville. "I would appreciate that a lot because that takes so much time."
Travelers want to see more non-stop flights. The airport is working on it, even announcing Tuesday that direct service from Cedar Rapids to Los Angeles will begin in June, but continuing to offer new service is becoming more difficult.
"We're feeling the constraint of capacity issues because we are doing so well, and that's why we're going to build a 'B' concourse, a second concourse, over the next four years," said Tim Bradshaw, the Eastern Iowa Airport director. "We're doing a lot of remodeling to the terminal. It's about $47 million over the next four years."
The multi-million dollar remodel will add two new gates. The security checkpoint, lobby, and ticket counters will all be upgraded. This summer some exterior work will begin including much needed fixes for the parking lot, though no new spaces will be added at this time.
"We've expanded some already with the rent-a-car and the employee lot," said Bradshaw. "We're looking at possibly doing a parking ramp down the road."
During busy times at the airport, like spring break, officials say they have remote parking available in a lot nearby and use shuttles to transport travelers. Any future ramp would come at a steep price. Officials say it costs $18,000 per parking space so they're looking for funding.
The rest of the renovation is being paid for using airport funds, plus state and federal grants.
Officials hope the upgrades will help draw in new nonstop options for travelers like Bowers.
"Direct flights are ideal," said Bowers.
Renovations in the bathrooms at the airport have already begun. The entire remodel -- including the two new gates -- should wrap up in the summer of 2017.

Not a lot of comment here. I just find it interesting WaPo calls the cold spell "Astonishing" in the headline but never really says what is the source of their astonishment. Is it possible that they fell for the nonsense that it can't get really, really cold anymore? Gee, could't be that, could it?

The Titanic: What Really Happened
April 9th, 2012
Remember the Hollywood block-buster movie film TITANIC with actor Leonardo de Caprio? Well, it is not the real story. It is just part of the story.
What you'll read below is the true story as to what really happened to the famous ship called Titanic. The information you'll read below is not a conspiracy theory, but rather well-recorded in the books of World History.
The Titanic And The Federal Reserve
The sinking of the Titanic has always been an event surrounded by a great deal of mystery. The cause of the demise of the 'unsinkable' vessel has been questioned and analyzed for nearly 100 years. Many have concluded that the Titanic tragedy was caused by sinister events and that the sinking of the famous vessel was well planned, well executed, and orchestrated.
The "privatization" of the U.S. Federal Reserve was ushered into being by a group of Illuminati "banksters" with a plan to create for a New World Order. Operating outside of the constraints of the U.S. government, the "privatized" Federal Reserve controls the US government's central banking system.
Through the Federal Reserve, the banksters could loan money, shape the world landscape, and become one of the most powerful organizations in the world. Here's how the Federal Reserve and the Titanic are connected:
In 1910, seven men met on Jekyll island just off the coast of Georgia to plan the Federal Reserve Bank. Nelson Aldrich and Frank Vanderclip represented the Rockefeller (Illuminati) financial empire. Henry Davidson, Charles Norton and Benjamin Strong represented J.P. Morgan (Illuminati). Paul Warburg (Illuminati) represented the Rothschilds (Illuminati) Banking dynasty of Europe. The Rothschilds were the banking agents for the Jesuits and held `the key to the wealth of the Roman Catholic Church.'
Killing The Opposition
The Federal Reserve did have some opposition. Three of the richest and most important of the opponents were Benjamin Guggenheim, Isador Strauss, the head of Macy's Department Stores, and John Jacob Astor, probably the wealthiest man in the world. Their total wealth, at that time, using dollar values of their day was more than 500 million dollars. Today that amount of money would be worth nearly eleven billion dollars. These three men were coaxed and encouraged to board the floating palace. They had to be destroyed because the Jesuits knew these men would use their wealth and influence to oppose a Federal Reserve Bank as well as the various wars that were being planned.
The Coincidences
J.P. Morgan, the individual contracted to build the Titanic was scheduled to be on the maiden voyage, but canceled his trip.
All three men who were opposed to the Federal Reserve, died during the sinking of the Titanic. The Federal Reserve was installed as part of the Federal Reserve Act in December of 1913, roughly one year and eight months after the Titanic tragedy. World War I was ignited less than a year later. Theorists believe that the Federal Reserve and the Jesuits were responsible for funding the United States, Germany, and Russia in the war.
Nagging Questions
The surviving crew members of the Titanic were held for 24 hours after returning to England in a small railway shed and were sworn to secrecy. Why?
Why would a third of the boilermen quit their jobs before the maiden voyage DURING THE MIDDLE OF A COAL STRIKE and DURING A TIME WHEN PEOPLE NEEDED JOBS.
Switching Ships
Two sister ships were built at the same time - the Olympic and the Titanic. Were these sister ships switched?
The 'Olympic' had a bad track record in her younger days, running aground and colliding with 'HMS Hawke'. After this collision the 'Olympic' was brought back into dry dock for repairs to be carried out. This brought both the Titanic and the 'Olympic' together for the last time. Some people believe that this is what then happened:
The 'Olympic' was quite badly damaged. It would cost a lot to repair it and, it would delay the launching of the Titanic by months. So, what could they do? They needed a reliable ship, and needed it for 10th April 1912. With time running out, they decided it would be easier to do a botch job on the 'Olympic' and concentrate on the Titanic. But it was already too late.
With days to go before sailing day, the Titanic was not yet ready, and the 'Olympic' was still sitting barely sea worthy in dock. It is here that the unthinkable happened. Bruce Ismay and J. P. Morgan, realise that if the Titanic does not go to sea on April 10th, they are going to have big money problems from passenger refunds - especially when the price of coal was at an all time high due to the coal strikes.
They told Captain Smith (a Jesuit) their plans. They would cancel all other White Star Crossings for a week surrounding the Titanic sailing, so that they would not have to pay for coal. Passengers affected by this would be offered a cheap ticked on the Titanic so that White Star would make money on it. Captain Smith was paid handsomely for sinking his ship on the fifth day. He was told that everyone would be safe, as they would make sure ships were in the vicinity of the accident. Smith agreed.
Making The Switch
Meanwhile, the 'Olympic' ships lifeboats were being offloaded and placed on the Titanic , and vice versa. Any object with the Titanic name on were put onto the 'Olympic' and again vice versa.
Then, on April 10th the cheering crowds had a ship to sail on, the Titanic was ready to sail, but, it was not the Titanic , it was in fact the 'Olympic' dressed up as the Titanic.
So the 'Olympic' set sail for a 5 day cruise and then she would be deliberately sunk so that White Star could claim insurance on the Titanic , when in fact it was the 'Olympic' that had sunk. However, some objects were forgotten.
The Evidence
The conspirators forgot to put binoculars on the 'Olympic' (the Titanic). So, on the night of April 14th 1912, the 'Olympic' crashed into an ice berg, just under 24 hours too early. She sank, taking 1,523 souls with her.
JP Morgan and White Star now had a problem. They could claim money on the Titanic (Olympic) sinking but, they would have to pay the bereaved. None the less, JP Morgan and White Star did make money out of the disaster, and, the Titanic (sailing under the name of the 'Olympic') served the company for 24 years without incident.

Entering/Leaving Nicaragua
Questions about entering and leaving Nicaragua are common here. Unfortunately, the answers are spread all over the site because there is no one, easy, cookie-cutter answer. That is, it depends on what other country is involved, your citizenship, legal residency, direction and so much more.
One of the hardest parts is going to be not duplicating information. For example, there are going to be an assortment of fees which apply to various conditions. My idea right now is to put all the fees on one page which you can reference once you follow down through the pages to collect the information on your particular situation.
This set of pages in intended to be the authoritative answers. If you see an error, add a comment. We will incorporate the comments into page updates from time to time.

The problem with Hell Town, truth be told, is John Wayne. Having starred in scores of ultra-low budget Westerns for Monogram and Republic Pictures, Wayne had gotten too used to playing the spotless hero to give the role of Dare Rudd in Hell Town any kind of shading. Dare, however, is the quintessential good-bad man, a charming drifter surviving on his own terms. But Wayne portrays him exactly as he would the many squeaky-clean cowboys he had played in the Monogram "Lone Star" budget oaters. It would take John Ford and Stagecoach (1939) for the actor to at long last find a director with enough confidence in his totally natural acting ability and a character worth more than a superficially competent performance.

Recently I had to move my Media Temple's (dv) server to new (dv) server. Their migration manager only migrated domain and database related datas, but not my previous installation of SVN+Trac. So, unfortunately I had no choice but to install them again. So, let's get to the point - How to install SVN & Trac on new (mt) dv-3.5 running linux CentOS 5.3
Here is what you will accomplish by following this tutorial:
- You will access your SVN repositories using http://svn.your-domain.com/demo-project
- You will access your Trac instances using http://trac.your-domain.com/demo-project
- SVN repositories will reside inside /srv/svnrepos (Project location will be /srv/svnrepos/demo-project)
- Trac instances will reside inside /srv/trac (Project location will be /srv/trac/demo-project)
- We will use simple htpasswd based authentication system for user to access all the projects.
Before we begin into details of setting up, there are few house-keeping work that you have to do yourself from your Media Temple Plesk Admin Panel.
- You must have root access to the (dv) server. View KB#625
- You must have "Developer Tools" installed on the server. How to install Dev-Tools on (mt) - Note that, installing DT will take some time. To view list of packages included in the developer tools, view KB#807
- Create your preferred sub-domains, in the example we have used "svn" and "trac" under primary domain "your-domain.com". Visit KB#910 for sub-domain creation guide.
I used "nano" plain-text-editor, which is not installed by default, you need to execute "yum install nano" to use nano, else you can use "vim" if you are master at it.
Ready to roll:
Install YUM Package Manager: (follow KB#1564 - for your convenience I've copied the commands here)
# Install Python Iniparse (a new dependancy of Yum) rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/python-iniparse-0.2.3-4.el5.noarch.rpm # Now install Yum and Yum FastestMirror rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos.noarch.rpm http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-13.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
yum -y update
Installing Latest Trac: Best way to manage Trac is to use easy_install tool provided by SetupTools. By default, (dv) 3.5 come with Python-2.4, so we need to download appropriate python egg
# Get python egg for setuptools - visit http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads for updated file wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg # Verify md5 has provided by setuptools - 260a2be2e5388d66bdaee06abec6342a md5sum setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg # Install - 'easy_install' tool sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg # Finally - Install latest version of Trac (currently v0.11.5) easy_install Trac
We will be using Trac's Account Manager Plugin to have nice HTML login form instead of pop-up login window.
# Use this easy install command to add AccountManagerPlugin, visit plugin web for more info easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/0.11
Create required directories: You may change the directory name/path if you wish.
mkdir /srv/svnrepos # Parent directory for all SVN repositories mkdir /srv/trac # Parent directory for all trac instances mkdir /srv/authz # User's global/common authentication files will be stored here mkdir /srv/www # Dummy place for SVN root (used inside vhost.conf for SVN) mkdir /srv/tmpcache # Temporary cache for PYTHON_EGG (used inside vhost.conf for Trac) mkdir -p /srv/trac-common/conf/ # Common configs for all Trac instances
Create User Authentication and Permission: We'll be using very basic htpasswd tool to create our usernames and password for authentication to both Trac and SVN via HTTP
# Create "users.htpasswd" file which will store all username and encrypted passwords htpasswd -cb /srv/authz/users.htpasswd user1 userpassw0rd # To add additional users, do not use "-c" flag, you'll loose old user entries, use htpasswd -b /srv/authz/users.htpasswd user2 user2passw0rd2
Now, we will create common config file for all the Trac instances. We need to define centralized authentication system in this config and few more additional values. For more information on trac config - visit http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracIni
# Creating common conf file for trac nano /srv/trac-common/conf/trac.ini
[components] acct_mgr.admin.accountmanageradminpage = enabled acct_mgr.api.accountmanager = enabled acct_mgr.htfile.htpasswdstore = enabled acct_mgr.web_ui.accountmodule = enabled acct_mgr.web_ui.loginmodule = enabled trac.web.auth.loginmodule = disabled tracspamfilter.* = disabled [account-manager] password_file = /srv/authz/users.htpasswd password_format = htpasswd password_store = HtPasswdStore [attachment] max_size = 5242880
Create SVN Repository and Trac Instance:
# Create SVN repo svnadmin create /srv/svnrepos/demo-project # Create Trac Instance - use defaults and provide the svn repo location you just created above trac-admin /srv/trac/demo-project initenv --inherit=/srv/trac-common/conf/trac.ini # Add a user as admin who will be managing this trac-admin /srv/trac/demo-project permission add user1 TRAC_ADMIN # Change ownership of the files to the web-server (apache) chown -R apache:apache /srv/svnrepos/demo-project chown -R apache:apache /srv/trac/demo-project # Finally, add users ID to allow access to the project's repository nano /srv/authz/svnauth.ini
# Add the following permission for user inside the "svnauth.ini" file [demo-project:/] user1=rw user2=r
Add VHOST conf for both Sub-Domains: We need to add apache conf file for both sub-domains so that request to those sub-domains are properly handled.
Note: Replace following with your primary and sub-domain name.
# First add vhost.conf for our SVN subdomain nano /var/www/vhosts/your-domain.com/subdomains/svn/conf/vhost.conf
ServerAdmin email@example.com ServerName svn.your-domain.com DocumentRoot /srv/www <Location /> DAV svn SVNParentPath /srv/svnrepos Order allow,deny Allow from all # Authentication AuthType Basic AuthName "your-domain.com Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile /srv/authz/users.htpasswd Require valid-user # Project base authorization AuthzSVNAccessFile "/srv/authz/svnauth.ini" </Location> CustomLog /srv/logs/access.log combined ErrorLog /srv/logs/error.log
Now, lets update vhost.conf for Trac
# Second add vhost.conf for our Trac subdomain nano /var/www/vhosts/your-domain.com/subdomains/trac/conf/vhost.conf
# trac config for site ServerAdmin firstname.lastname@example.com ServerName trac.your-domain.com DocumentRoot /srv/trac <Directory "/srv/trac"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all # mod_python speeds things up considerably SetHandler mod_python PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend PythonOption TracEnvParentDir "/srv/trac" PythonOption TracUriRoot "/" SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /srv/tmpcache </Directory>
Restart Apache and Reload all configs: You will need to do this just once. After all the vhost.conf values are loaded, you can continue creating repositories and you won't have to restart apache again.
# Use following to restart apache web server /etc/init.d/httpd restart # Reload all the web server configs /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v
Are we done yet?
Nope! not really, but at-least you have the svn+trac accessible via HTTP method. Now it's your job to make both of them more customized and secure (if you want).
Enjoy, I'll add post-installation documents/task soon.

you know the more i look at these - the more i see some awesome ideas around personal branding of 'one's stuff' - think about this - combined with bus cards etc - that have the same designs .... noodling in my mind
Love the subject and the colors. Great branding with the use of design for cases and skins as well as framed art. I'm wondering about the white symbols on the right side of the work.
For some reason it makes me think of this cartoon I was obsessed with as a kid and I can't for the life of me remember what it is. Good memories though. I wish I could paint half this good. I'm still working on getting pants on my stick figures :)
Nice piece of art. I was just at the New York Metropolitan Museum .. hope you get your work there someday.
Interesting and unique; however, I am not sure I like this piece. The white blips give me a headache. Though I am not an artist and have been told on occasion that my taste is not very good.
Peço desculpa pela comparação, mas esta linha e as cores, muito me fazem lembrar a arte Namban. Simplesmente magnífico
Não há problema nen hum pela comparação até gosto :)
Tem tudo a ver com a arte Namban, sou um grande fã,
e queria fazer algo nas mesmas linhas mas de forma original e mais 'minha'.
Muito obrigado por partilhares a tua opinião comigo Nzinga

This is a story of courage and caring. A story that began 9 years ago. "My mom's name was Becky so we just thought it would be a unique connection that we would take her to a place called Beck's." explains Jim Neikirk whose mother had suffered a stroke and was battling dementia, "My mother passed away in May of 2010 just two days after she turned 93."
But the Neikirks kept walking through the doors of the Beck's Prime in the Woodlands every Saturday. By then Jim's wife, Beth, had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Yet, they kept coming to a place that now felt like a second home. The strangers behind the counter had become familiar, welcoming faces.
"She's just one of those people that you are draw to, that you want to be like. She comes out still all cheerful. She's dressed really nice. She seems happy and I don't know if I could do that." says longtime Restaurant manager Cristella Cardenas. She has been witness to Beth's slow decline and wanted to reach out. Cardenas came up with the idea of a charm bracelet. Eagerly, cashiers Jennifer, Daniella and twins Shawonda and Lawonda got on board. All individually chose charms and recently presented the gift to Beth.
"They were all smiling and excited and kind of jumping up and down." noticed Jim as he pushed Beth's wheelchair into the restaurant. He was stunned by their generosity. "She got tears just thinking that people would do those nice things for her and of course, I got tears in my eyes watching her."
What's amazing is through all the years, they never knew each other's names. What the staff at Beck's Prime did know is that the brave woman who always had a smile reminded them of the kind of person they want to be. So, they gave her gift of friendship.
"Brain cancer is treatable but not curable." says Neikirk who recently celebrated 41 years of marriage to Beth, " We know where we stand, we know where we're going."

About Multan Public School & College (Girls)
The importance of Public School in the education system of a country needs no emphasis. They go a long way in creating an urban-rural integration and thus contribute substantially to the process of nation building in the developing countries like ours. Public Schools are invariably residential and they lay a great stress on the promotion and development of leadership qualities and provide the facilities which are essentially needed to impart a balanced education to student. Residence is perhaps the decisive factor which makes the education of public schools superior to that of ordinary Day Schools. The concept of a balanced education which lays equal emphasis on both the curricular and extra-curricular activities of students can best be implemented in a conducive environment of a school campus.
Message by the Principal
Multan Public School & College For Girls (A project of Multan Education Trust) has ever remained dedicated to achieve a prominent position in this highly competitive society. Ever since the beginning the emphasis has been on activity oriented teaching: more learner-centered methodology. Multan Public School & College for Girls has not only created a model infra-structure for the girl students of Punjab but also keeps trying to achieve the aims of a Public School education, which are academic, moral and physical excellence, with the help of a dedicated, highly qualified teaching faculty and other vigorous crew. We, at MPS & C (Girls) believe in continuous struggle to be yielded for the promotion and progress of the institute and ever try to bring it successfully to the zenith, as sky is the only limit.

Exactly. I try damn hard to get my characters to the point they can go into the new 5mans, even running pvp to convert to justice, and I personally really dislike pvp. The new dungeons harken back to the ICC5's, have interesting story and mechanics, and don't take forever to go.

Police in Mesquite have found a vehicle involved in an Amber Alert out of southeast Texas.
However, there is no word on the fate of 11-year-old Savannah Hurley or her alleged kidnapper and biological mother, Shelly Jean Hurley.
Authorities in Trinity County, near Huntsville, say Shelly Hurley attacked a CPS worker who came to get her daughter after Hurley lost custody.
After the attack, Hurley and Savannah escaped in a pickup truck.
Overnight, police thought the pair might have switched to a different vehicle and headed for the Garland area.
A maroon station wagon matching the description of the new vehicle was found in neighborhood in the 5500 block of Club Crest, near I-635 and La Prada. The vehicle was parked in the street, blocking a car in the driveway.
Savannah has brown hair, stands about 4 feet 10 inches tall, and weighs about 120 lbs, has a small gap between her front teeth and pierced ears.
Shelly Jean Hurley has blonde hair, brown eyes, is 46 years old, stands 5 feet 4 inches and weighs 110 lbs.
If you see them, call 911.

Toffee-Topped Bars
Comment on this recipe
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking pan; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remove 1 cup of mixture and set aside. Add baking powder and salt to the brown sugar and flour mixture. Using a fork, lightly beat in vanilla, milk and egg. Continue beating until a smooth batter forms. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and walnuts. Fold in the coconut if using. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over the top of batter in pan. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and walnuts. Using a long flat spatula, spread topping evenly over the top of the batter in pan. Bake bars for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Transfer pan to a wire rack. Cool bars in pan completely before slicing.

The blonde is stunning looking with her kit on . One really good spunking at the end and the guy pistoning her cunt just before that was a thing of rare beauty . Don't understand why the camera is concentrating on her sucking the third guy's cock when she is being dp'd by the other two . She's being fucked in front of a camera crew but wont take her knickers off in a sunbed ; WTF ?

It's Zig-Zag Time Again
Here's another chevron quilt I made that was a little different from my last masculine quilt. I actually used a zig-zag fabric that had three shades of blue/turquoise and chose a co-ordinating fabric in turquoise. I loved the zig-zag fabric so it was just a matter of finding the right plain fabric. I wanted a quilt that had a modern feel for use in the guest bedroom. I chose to bind the quilt with a simple navy fabric. I quilted the chevrons with three lines of stitching that echoes the shape of each block.
I loved the way the quilt turned out. Now that I have completed two different zig-zag quilts, I think it's time to move on to another design. For Christmas I received The Electric Quilt 7 software from my husband so expect to see some different quilt and table runner designs from me in the future.

New Baby Quilt
A family friend married a few years ago and moved to a beautiful seaside town on the southern coast of Ireland. When I heard she was expecting her first baby, I wanted to make a very special quilt for her. Luckily for me, she shared the sex of the baby so I could get started on a quilt for a little girl.
I found a lovely quilt on the Pinterest website but I could not find the pattern. I just had to wing it on my own and the above quilt is what I came up with. Firstly, I had to calculate the dimensions of the quilt so that the three bands made up of individual strips of fabric were all equal and the two plain bands were wide enough to accommodate the meandering flowers and vines. I had to choose 11 different yet compatible quilt prints and sew the strips together. Then I took the white strips, added stabilizer underneath, and embroidered different flower blossoms and butterflies. I even used some metallic thread to add a bit more interest. After that, I appliquéd on the vines and leaves. Finally, I added free motion quilting to each of the striped bands. This was the first time I have tried free motion quilting and I think it turned out very well. I hope this isn't considering cheating but I actually chalked the quilting design directly onto the fabric and when away I went. It really was nothing to be fearful of doing and I intend on trying free motion on my next quilt.
Next, I embroidered a small fabric gift bag which could also be used as a toy bag for the car or to carry baby items. Anyway, my friend was so pleased to receive the guilt and said how lovely it was. I think this was one of my best quilts to date and it certainly turned out well considering I had no pattern.

He's my Star!
I made this summer quilt for my grandson's birthday. I thought the black and white fabrics were very modern and masculine looking. He just loved it.
When it came to quilting the body of the fabric, I decided that since he's my shining star, that a star motif was just perfect. The photo below shows the stars.
I absolutely loved making this quilt. The instructions to make it were fabulous and the quilt went together very quickly. The pattern came from the Missouri Star Quilt Company. They have a ton of tutorials on their website that will inspire any sewer from novice to expert to make something different and fun. I'm interested in making quilts that are both fun to make for me and are a little different. Come back to my blog again and see some of the other quilts I made. Bye for now.

My First Quilt
It's been a while since my last post but I've been busy with lots of projects.
When I semi-retired, I thought I would have a lot of time on my hands. I'm sure that you have heard from other retirees there is never seems to be enough time to do all the things you want to get done in a day. Where does the time go?
I had always wanted to learn how to quilt but not hand quilting. If I tried to hand sew a quilt, I would never get finished, not in this lifetime anyway. No...for me it was to sew a quilt using my brand new Husqvarna Ruby sewing and embroidery machine. My last Husqvarna was with me for 29 years and it never let me down. In fact, I gave it to a young lady in my family who was just starting to sew. She loves it as much as I did.
I took a class on "Making Your First Quilt" and I was told that at the end of the 6 weeks, I would have our quilt finished. Well, that's exactly what happened. We learned how to select fabric, plan our cutting to get the most out of our fabric, sewing our pieces together, the importance of pressing, making a "quilt sandwich", quilting a design of our choice through all three layers and finally steps to bind and finish off your quilt. Sure enough, at the end of the 6 weeks, I had my lap quilt done.
The fabric I chose is French General by Moda and all the fabrics co-ordinated to make a lovely quilt. The backing fabric also from the French General line really pulled everything together. I couldn't have been more happy and pleased with myself for getting it finished. Do you know that there are some sewers out there who have had quilt "on the go" for years! If you love the fabric that you picked, I don't think anyone would have a problem in completing the quilt top.
I thoroughly enjoyed all the steps involved in making my first quilt and since then, I have made several move. With each quilt I tried to learn something new and of course I made a few mistakes along the way. I will showcase some of my other quilts on future posts.

Happy Tutu Birthday!
A friend of mine has a cute little girl who just had her 2nd birthday. I wanted to try making a tutu skirt for the occasion. I know that all little girls love to dress up.
There are a lot of tutorials on YouTube on how to make no-sew tutu skirts so help yourself to that resource and decide which one you want to try. I made the one with a ribbon waist band so that the skirt can be tied on and removed for those frequent bathroom visits. The skirt really turned out well. I used light pink and cream tulle to match the really cute hot pink and cream polka dot gross grain ribbon that I found at my local fabric store. I also added hot pink satin skinny ribbons throughout the skirt to add more interest. It turned out to be a very full skirt. She loved it!
The octopus birthday card card was cut from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. I had a scrap piece of pastel tartan paper which really made a very cute sea creature. I added goolie eyes to the body and Stickles to the pirate hat and voila - a very cute pink themed birthday card was born.

Gift Card Holders
My daughter asked me to make some gift card holders for a charity event. I recently bought a gift holder die from My Creative Time. I have been eyeing this die for a very long time and finally bought it. What took me so long!
I used a pastel pink card stock and cut out the gift card holder. Over the years, I have tried to make my own gift card holder but with varying success. Sometimes the slots for the card don't line up and I have to start all over again. Using my new die, the holders turn out perfectly every time. I can then focus on decorating them. For this card holder, I chose to just add a simple candy cane twine closure and adorn it with a small tag. I used the Tiny Tags stamp set from My Crafting Spot that comes with the stamp for the tag and various sentiments. I use this stamp set quite often as it is very versatile.
Everyone loved the holders and they were a big hit for the charity.
See you soon and remember to keep crafting!

Breast Cancer Run for the Cure
I made this card for two women I know who have survived breast cancer. One is my sister-in-law who was diagnosed when she was 38 years old and her youngest child was just 3 years old. She survived having a mastectomy and chemotherapy. That was 24 years ago! I am amazed at how well she carried on in spite of her cancer diagnosis. The former 3 year old is now a father of his own child and now going to pre-kindergarten. What joy this little grandchild has given to my sister-in-law. She never thought she'd live this long but she has inspired me with her positive outlook.
The other woman is my nephew's mother-in-law. This woman is a retired primary school teacher who along with her husband successfully raised 3 of the loveliest and accomplished girls I have ever met. The oldest has 2 Master's degrees and teaches high school. The middle girl is a very successful engineer who is now involved in the environmental field with an international non-profit corporation and teaching companies how to manufacture their products in an environmentally conscientious way. The baby of the group is now a veterinarian who has worked in several countries helping out with the care of elephants and horses. When two of the girls were still in university, she was diagnosed with her breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy as well as chemo. After her treatment, she lost over 100 pounds and is now a very fit and physically active lady who walks about 5 miles a day, year round. She now babysits her two granddaughters full time and absolutely loves it. There are some days where she makes me tired just watching her. She always has a smile on her face and she is very thankful for all her blessings.
I made this card for each of these women and added a "shoe lace" pin for them to wear to remember that they are successful survivors of breast cancer. I also want to encourage everyone to run or walk in their local campaigns to raise not only money for research but also to spread awareness about breast cancer.

Virginia Tech basketball transfer Manny Atkins has committed to Georgia State.
"It's home, and it's my home school," Atkins told the AJC on Tuesday night. "I told myself if I decide to leave Virgina Tech, I will come home and work it out from there. I love the new coaching staff at Georgia State. It seemed like the right fit for me. I like how coach [Ron Hunter] has the system running for next year. I look forward to playing for him."
The 6-foot-7 forward was one of Georgia's most-heavily recruited prospects out Tucker High School in 2009, signing with Virginia Tech over around 15 offers, including Georgia Tech, UGA, Auburn, Clemson, Michigan and Florida State. He played two years at the ACC school, averaging 4.9 points as a reserve this past season.
"I was looking for more playing time," Atkins said. "I just felt like I wasn't getting as much playing time as I wanted and that it wasn't going to get any better my junior year. I felt like Virginia Tech was going to give me more time, but not as much time as I was looking for as a junior."
Atkins said he was also talking with UNC Charlotte and Tennessee Tech, while others sent feelers to express interest. Atkins committed to Georgia State on Tuesday and will officially be a member of the program when he enrolls in summer classes on June 5. Per NCAA rules, Atkins will sit out next season and have two years to play for Georgia State.
"I think things are going to blow up at Georgia State under Coach Hunter," Atkins said. "I think we have something good going on, and I want to be a part of it. Hopefully, we'll have another good recruiting class and we'll get to the NCAA tournament next season."

GSU got a steal on this one. This kid is a much better player than his number would suggest, but he just didn't fit the system up in Blacksburg, and quite frankly, wasn't give the right opportunity. He'll be a solid double-figure player in the CAA and a heck of a star for the Panthers.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Trey Hayes, head high school swimming coach for the Lubbock Independent School District, was recently selected as a National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) state coach of the year in the area of boys swimming. Hayes was nominated for the honor by the University Interscholastic League and the Texas Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association.
By virtue of his selection as the NFHS state coach of the year, Hayes was automatically nominated for NFHS sectional coach of the year, and was ultimately the sole representative from Texas to be considered as NFHS National Coach of the Year for the boys swimming program.
Hayes is beginning his eighth year as head swimming coach for both boys and girls in Lubbock ISD, and his twelfth year with the district. He was named the Girls and Boys District Coach of the Year for District 2-5A in 2008-2009.
When Hayes was a student athlete at Coronado High School in 1991, he was a state qualifier and regional champion for the CHS swim team.

Now Available at the FirstHealth Back & Neck Pain Center:
mild® for the Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS)
A degenerative, age-related condition, LSS is a narrowing of the lower spinal canal that causes pressure on the nerves and leads to pain and immobility. FirstHealth is first in the area to offer LSS patients mild, a groundbreaking new procedure that safely and therapeutically reduces pain and improves mobility while maintainzing the spine's structural stability.* Many mild patients report immediate relief, and most go home the same day.
Why mild?
mild provides a new and safe therapeutic option for LSS sufferers who are no longer responding to conservative care (physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic) and symptom management (medications, epidural steroid injections [ESIs], pain pumps) but who are not candidates for more invasive lumbar spine decompression surgeries or fusion.
How mild works
mild provides relief for patients by removing a primary cause of LSS. During the procedure, the physician uses mild devices to remove small pieces of bone and the tissue causing the pressure on the nerves. Performed under image guidance through a 5.1 mm mild Portal (about the diameter of a pencil), mild requires only an adhesive bandage for closure.
mild safety and efficacy
The mild procedure and devices have been proven safe and effective in several clinical studies. Data have shown that mild patients experienced consistent, statistically significant improvement in pain and function as well as physical well-being following treatment. No major adverse events related to the devices or the procedure has been reported.
The treatment for LSS includes conservative care, such as physical therapy, acupuncture, exercise and chiropractic, as well as symptom management with medications, epidural steroid injections (ESIs), pain pumps and/or neuromodulation. However, these treatments do not address the source of the pain, and, in most cases, symptoms return. In the past, the next line of treatment for LSS included open surgical procedures such as laminotomy (partial removal of the lamina, a plate of bone in the vertebrae) or laminectomy (removal of the entire lamina and the ligaments that are attached to it), and/or fusion. Each of these has risk factors and leads to changes in the natural anatomy and structural stability of the spine.
mild was developed to provide LSS patients a less invasive alternative earlier in the treatment continuum.
More Information
For more information on mild at the FirstHealth Back & Neck Pain Center, call (910) 715-1794. Additional information is available at www.vertosmed.com or by calling (877) 958-6227.
* Cleared for lumbar decompression, Vertos mild is designed to treat lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).

Yoon Kye Sang's side has been treading carefully on the new love rumors that have sprung up between the actor and Honey Lee. Honey Lee, on the other hand, has acknowledged the relationship.
A rep from Yoon Kye Sang's agency stated, "We haven't put together an official stance on the love rumors yet. We'll have to talk with Yoon Kye Sang first and hear him out before we issue a press release, so please wait for a while."
Honey Lee's agency has acknowledged the rumors.
A rep from her agency said, "We believe they've just started on the romance. Please don't stretch the facts to say they're in a deep relationship."
According to an acquaintance of the two actors, they met at the Busan International Film Festival in 2012, and recently became lovers after meeting many more times with other friends.
One media outlet published paparazzi photos of the two together, claiming that "they have been dating for a month."
In January, Yoon Kye Sang and Honey Lee became embroiled in love rumors after some speculated they had gone on a trip to Bali together. The couple denied the claims at the time, saying they had left for the country separately and that they had each been with their families.
The rep from Honey Lee's agency commented, "The Bali trip rumors aren't true; they grew close to each other after that."

Hitting returned to Parkview Field on Monday, mainly for Cedar Rapids.
The visiting Kernels had 14 hits in an 11-4 win over the TinCaps in front of 6,345 fans.
Adam Brett Walker led the Cedar Rapids' resurgence with the bat with an RBI double in the first and a two-run home run in the sixth.
Walker, who had three RBI, missed hitting for the cycle by lacking only a triple.
The offense helped the Kernels (61-37, 21-9 second half) win the series.
Good hitters, TinCaps manager Jose Valentin said of Cedar Rapids. There were too many pitches up in the zone that made it easy and not getting ahead in the count.
The two teams had combined for four runs in splitting the first two games of the series.
The TinCaps (54-45, 11-19) won the first game 1-0 on Saturday, while the Kernels picked up the pitching duel win the next day, 2-1.
The first two games were pitchers' duels, but we got away with a lot of pitches, Valentin said.
Both teams used four pitchers Monday.
TinCaps starter Walker Weickel (3-5) took the loss by giving up seven hits and seven earned runs in three innings.
Once he gave up two runs early, he was out of control, Valentin said of Weickel. He just kind of quit on himself and was lacking confidence. He just got down out there. If you want to pitch in the big leagues, you have to be tough mentally because there are going to be days you will be hit.
Matthew Chabot (four runs) didn't fare much better, with Joe Church and Jorge Guzman combining for 3 1/3 shutout innings.
The Kernels lead the Midwest League in hitting with an average above .270 and runs per game near 6.
Walker's home run to left-center was his 22nd of the season and second in as many games.
Cedar Rapids blew the game open with a five-run third inning that broke a 2-all tie.
It is the most runs the TinCaps have allowed since a 12-6 loss to West Michigan on June 23.
The TinCaps had plenty of opportunities with 10 hits, three Kernels errors and three walks. The clutch hit, though, evaded Fort Wayne. You got guys swinging at too many bad pitches, Valentin said of the offense. We got 10 hits, but it doesn't mean anything because we didn't get the hits when we needed them.
Mallex Smith was 2 for 4 with two runs scored, while Dan Phillips and Gabriel Quintana also had two hits for Fort Wayne.
Jose Berrios (6-5) got the win with eight hits, three runs (two earned) and four strikeouts in six innings.
