Wirtgirl detective1945Guilt of the Brass Thievescoverillustrated
Mr. Parker winked at his daughter and paid her tribute. "Penny has built up quite a reputation for herself as an amateur Sherlock Holmes. Running down gangsters is her specialty."
"Dad, you egg!" Penny said indignantly.
- Mildred A. Wirt, Guilt of the Brass Thieves (1945) [full text]
Calling someone "a good egg" is a compliment. Calling them an "egg," period, apparently is not?

Mischa Barton Prepares for 'The Beautiful Life'
Prepare yourselves, people; former O.C. star Mischa Barton is returning to the small screen this fall, on CW's upcoming series The Beautiful Life.
Produced by Punk'd jokester Ashton Kutcher, the series follows the lives of aspiring fashion models who live together in a loft and was envisioned as a companion show for the ever-popular America's Next Top Model.
Barton is so thrilled that the pilot being picked up that the actress, who's currently traveling abroad, rushed to her official Web site to share her joy.
"I'm so excited that even being in a foreign place like Moscow right now couldn't stifle my enthusiasm," Barton writes. "Russia was awesome and so too will it be to relocate to NYC and begin a regimented schedule."
We can't wait either, Mischa! Bring on the aspiring-model catfights!

SW: 250-ish
Workout with Samy!
Today's run stats at a glance
Woot! (at John's Gym ATX)
Picked up my shirt for Sunday's race today…finally! And it's a tech shirt!!!
The thing I hate about small races? Generic bibs. This is for the Brown Santa 5K I'm running on Sunday…oh and the shirts are stuck in Dallas, TX due to all the ice. Great.
Another new gadget…this one was not planned
Ugh…really took it out of me…but I didn't flake out…I did it. 30 minutes on the treadmill
Not as fast as Saturday but I did run 8.5 miles yesterday so still pretty dang good! I just wanted to keep it under 9:30 and I did!
My new headband…I love this slogan…I have a car window decal that is the same logo
Holy crap! First mile 8:59…second mile 9:08!!! That's the fastest I've run in around 8 months!!! I feel great!
1045 calories GONE!
While not humid at my apt…it is humor at the gym because it rained here and not there. Fun! Good thing I'm only doing 3 miles
Ran faster than I thought I would with a flat 9:30min/mi pace for 5K time of 29:28 (a PR)…but a finish line time of 30:15 (also a PR)

Aline Weber, Ana Beatriz Barros, Isabelli Fontana, Izabel Goulart, Renata Kuerten, Barbara Beluco, and Rhayene Polster by Jacques Dequeker for Vogue Brazil. It is not a bad cover per se but everything about it sounds fishy to me. First off, it reads "Class of 2014," and I am deeply sorry but that is the class of 2000 in the picture. The correct class of 2014 would be Amanda Wellsh, Waleska Gorczevski, Mariana Santana, and Cris Herrmann, but of course no one bothered to hire a casting director to get this done correctly. It should just read "The Girls Of Mega" instead because it is certainly not a mere coincidence that every single girl on the cover and on the fold out are represented by Mega, and that they are all wearing Dior. Also, I don't even get why there is a fold out when a cover with Aline, Ana, Isabelli, and Izabel would have been stronger without it.
Lindsay Ellingson by Nicole Heiniger for Elle Brazil. I thought I was never going to say this, but that is too much leopard print even for me. That and the styling is just incredibly weak and tired (not to mention the fact that it looks like Lindsay's head is out of place).
Actress Fernanda Lima by Fabio Bartelt for Harper's Bazaar Brazil. Love the blue background, that it's finally not Thairine Garcia on the cover for a change, and that they made Fernanda Lima look cool and sophisticated.
Paola Rahmeier by Paulo Vainer for L'Officiel Brazil. Best cover of the magazine so far. No funny text, pretty hair and make up, and a Dolce & Gabbana dress. Hope they can keep it up and start cleaning the image of the past two years.

Alessandra Ambrósio by Mariano Vivanco for Vogue Brazil. I love Alessandra and I am a big fan of Mariano Vivanco's work but I just can't get past the styling choices and the art direction of this cover. Alessandra, Mariano, and a lot of Prada could have resulted in one of the best stories Vogue Brazil did recently, but ended up becoming the least interesting story I have seen featuring Prada's amazing spring collection.
Thairine Garcia by Nicole Heiniger for Harper's Bazaar Brazil. By far the best cover this month, but Thairine was just on the cover of the magazine in October, and as much as I like her, booking her for the cover for the fifth time is enough. I would have much preferred to see girls like Waleska Gorczevski, Mariana Santana, Cris Herrmann, or Amanda Wellsh on this cover, so maybe it is time for someone in the editorial team to step outside the box and hire a casting director.
Carolinne Prates by Hugo Toni for Elle Brazil. Love the casting but don't necessarily love the cover, mostly due to the art direction.
Alicia Kuczman by Nicole Heiniger for L'Officiel Brazil. I don't get the styling and the beauty and why that image was chosen for the cover, and the existence of this publication remains a mystery to me. Perhaps this was just not a very good month in general.

Candice Swanepoel by Mariano Vivanco and Zee Nunes for Vogue Brazil. Why two covers when one is so much stronger than the other? The top one in black and white by Mariano Vivanco looks amazing and is one of my favorite Vogue Brazil covers recently, and I would have certainly stuck with just that one. That said, I found the issue dedicated entirely to Candice to be really disappointing in terms of photography.
Josephine Skriver by Nicole Heiniger for Elle Brazil. Looks pretty on the top part, and wrong from the neck down. Something about the angle of the picture makes the proportions of her body look completely off, and makes this my least favorite cover this month.
Daniela Braga by Bob Wolfenson for Harper's Bazaar Brazil. My favorite national cover featuring Daniela so far, and a million times better than her previous Bazaar cover last year. The only thing I don't get is the art direction this time. The type in front of her body did not need to be there.

"Hey, Bright-Eyes! Merry Christmas! I wasn' sure what t'get yeh, bu' I figured these'd be good."
From his bunk down in the South, the major cradled the gifts with his hulking muscles; eyes bathed in a small pool of tears.
Alex had, unfortunately, lost track of the season's festivities during his time fighting - the prospect of buying gifts, for example, had completely slipped his mind. And yet here was a package from Miss Thomas, with his best interests at heart: a pair of weights, perfect for top-up training whilst he was away from home.
The Major held them tighter to his chest, offering the mechanic a silent thank you.

Miranda Kerr's recent suggestion that epidurals negatively impact a baby at birth have caused a backlash from mothers and parenting websites.
Her comments have caused outrage amid women and OBGYN's across the globe.
Of course we ALL want to give our babies the best possible start to life, and opting for an epidural does NOT cause any harm to the baby.
Christine Proudfit, MD, Assistant Professor of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, NYU Langone Medical Center said...'The wonderful thing about an epidural is that because it works by directly bathing the nerves of the spinal cord with anesthetic medication it can provide excellent pain relief for a laboring mother without any medication getting into the bloodstream of her baby.'
Do you think Miranda was trying to spark outrage? Or are we over sensitive when it comes to opting to use pain relief?
Read our 9 tips to avoid an epidural here!
Endorphins are released in response to pain so any pain should work (labour as well as delivery). It is the oxytocin (love hormone) that is released when baby comes out - the delivery method is irrelevant - everyone gets it. Breastfeeding also triggers it along with other things for many mothers such as smelling baby and seeing baby smile :) Likely, it is the continual renewal of the oxytcoin by various methods that helps mothers cope with the trials of motherhood.
Not a doctor, but I think you get those endorphins regardless - ceaser too. I think it has something to do with the baby (and placenta) coming out.
I believed (however just googled & couldn't seem to find anything to support it) that if you have an epidural it blocks the huge rush of endorphins that you get in the last stage of labour that 'some' people say last for months & help you cope with sleeplessness. I wanted those! In the last stage of labour my bloodpressure spiked & they told me the only way to reduce it was epidural. I cried - I know what a moron! Others beg for pain relief & here I was crying coz I had to have it. I WANTED those endorphins. Turned out by the time the the aneasthetist arrived I was pushing & I got my rush of endorphins & the epidural.
I don't think it's in her nature to cause trouble, she more then likely just said what she felt, cudos to her!
I doubt Miranda is trying to spark outrage but gosh she should be careful about anything she says regarding pregnancy, motherhood or children! She's not an expert but she has at her fingertips, access to unlimited professional help when it comes to having a child. Not everyone can afford the top hospitals or have access to money that can buy anything and everything. So really, she isn't in any position to make generilisations on behalf of woman and mothers. Some labours require medication and relief, and some do not. I would never judge someone on how they laboured because I know first hand how hard givng birth is. Mothers should be able to do whatever necessary to get them through the birth without judgement from anyone else. I personally found labour disgustingly painful. I was horrfied at how painful contractions are and if I wasn't needlephobic I probably would have taken sedation too!
Studies usually set out to prove a point so they will manipulate the data in favour of their argument. If you look it up the same argument can be found regardless of what type of delivery you had. There will always be a portion of babies that have difficulties latching on so researchers manipulate that information to prove their point. With the exception of caesareans performed under a general anaesthetic it should make no difference.
The way the epidural works means that narcotics are often not used at all and so it is highly unlikely that the baby will get any drugs at all as opposed to having morphine or pethidine during labour.
It isn't just utilised for pain relief for the sake of pain relief mumma2three.
The info pack I was giving at the antenatal clinic during my three pregnancies had a list of possible side effects for the baby and mother. I had 2 long labours over 16 hours each and a 7 hour labour. I also had 2 posterior babies who turned at the last minute. I did not have a epidural with my three and I didnt have PND either. Most of my friends have had natural births and didnt have PND either. In saying all this i think at the end of the day labour is tough and is the mothers choice on what pain relief she will opt for. I would never judge anyone for having a epidural as it is their body, their baby and their decision.
I would need to see the qualifications of Dr Google before I took any of his advice ! :P

Person DetailsUpdate
"Telephone, Phone System Specialist" for buzpbx.com Telephone, Phone System Solutions in Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas. Having worked in the industry for the past twenty six years, buzpbx.com was founded for a couple of reasons.
1) Large Monopolies were gauging their clients pocket books 2) Those same companies had proprietary phones, yearly licensing fee's with maintenance charges up the wazoo.
In this "NEW WORLD" of open source technology Rob knew there was a better way, so that the client could get better and faster technology with faster updates for software releases at no charge to their clients and no proprietary phones or equipment. After all we sent man to the moon over 50 years ago, the world has changed. Why hadn't the telephone industry?
Companies take Telephone, Phone Systems for granted. "A phone is a phone ! This is definitely not true of course. There are many things you as a business owner need to be concerned about. Especially in this new "VoIP World" we live in. Are your routers and switches up to date? Do they handle Qos? ( quality of service ) Is a managed switch or unmanaged. There is a big difference here. The main reasons why VoiP has not worked for companies 99% of the time is the companies IT infrastructure. We call it the plumbing that is essential for your company. Especially since data pipes are getting less and less. Companies like Time Warner offering 10 meg pipes for $179 is helping with this.
We at buzpbx.comTelephone, Phone System Solutions help educate the client on all necessary information that they need to be made aware before they even think of getting a VoIP Telephone System. It's crucial. We help our clients by holding their hand through he entire process from end to end.
That's why buzpbx.com Telephone, Phone System Solutions has become one of the leaders in Telephone/Phone System Solutions in the Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Texas.

My fellow Zamboangeños suffering from the armed conflict deserve so much better than a VP who 1) probably acted alone and had a confusing role during the conflict by announcing a ceasefire was in effect when this was inaccurate, and 2) donated 'loot bags' to the evacuees with his full name very nicely printed on all of them. The gall. Great if you can share, so people will not forget. We appreciate all help we can get. But not from opportunists.

Political strategist Malou Tiquia has observed a consistent pattern in the 2010 presidential elections and the 2013 midterm elections.
"It would appear," she says, "that there is now a pre-campaign expenditure and a campaign proper expenditure."
Indeed, in the runup to the recently concluded polls, several candidates showed a penchant for spending on TV ads prior to the campaign period. In the three months preceding the start of the official campaign period, or from Nov. 11, 2012 to Feb. 11, 2013, the "advocacy" ad values of 14 senatorial candidates and two coalitions had already amounted to nearly P850 million, based on the network's published rate cards, according to Nielsen data.

A friendly reminder to the newly elected officials and other government agencies.
via http://business.inquirer.net/107381/biz-buzz-4 (February 12, 2013)
On top of the shame campaign they have to endure in social media —"Epal" politicians now face tighter audit that will hopefully curb self-promotion at the expense of public funds. Invoking its exclusive authority to promulgate accounting and auditing rules, such as to weed out "irregular, unnecessary, excessive, extravagant or unconscionable" state expenditures, the Commission on Audit has mapped out an "anti-Epal" blueprint for the first time. Just in time for the mid-term elections this year and ahead of the 2016 presidential polls.
Based on COA Circular 2013-004 dated Jan. 30, 2013, all government agencies must list all ongoing government projects, programs and activities at the beginning of the year, including key details like project name, implementing unit, office or division, brief description, contractor or supplier (if any), mode of procurement, funding source, cost or approved budget, project duration including start and completion dates and location. But COA said publicity on these should be made "at least possible cost" and it even prescribed a maximum size for the materials (e.g. signboards must not exceed 3 feet x 2 feet).
Here's the juicy part. The COA ruled that the display of the picture, image, motto, logo, color motif, initials or other symbolic or graphic representation associated with the top leadership of the project proponent or implementing agency on signboards is "considered unnecessary." The same rule applies to members of Congress, executive officials or local officials where the project is implemented wholly or partially through any form of government fund transfers. The COA also ruled against the "unnecessary" display of publicity items on equipment, vehicles, wrappers, containers, tokens, souvenirs, calendars, ballpens, T-shirts or other apparel and other items.
The cost of the public notices can be charged against the project's budget, provided such notices conform to the specifications. If not, COA chair Grace Tan said: "Ibalik nila pera (They should return the money)." The public can help uncover and report any violation of the circular to firstname.lastname@example.com. Doris C.

Judiciary Committee Sends Broad Immigration Reform to Full Senate
May 21, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a bipartisan vote today, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 13-5 to send S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, on to the full Senate.
Senators on the Judiciary Committee submitted about 300 amendments, of which more than 100 were approved. Most represent good-faith efforts to improve the bill and to make government more accountable for its effective implementation. The vast majority of amendments that passed did so with bipartisan support.
Debate on the Senate floor is likely to begin in early to mid June. Just as the bill heads to the floor, leaders from the Bibles, Badges and Business for Immigration Reform network are coming to Washington June 12 to hold meetings with congressional leaders and show their renewed support for broad, bipartisan reform.
The following is a statement by Ali Noorani, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum:
"Today's vote represents a major step toward a new immigration process. The bill soon headed for the Senate floor is exactly what America needs. It honors the aspiring Americans who will strengthen our communities and our economy for generations to come. It also honors our history as a nation of laws.
"Americans across the political spectrum recognize that we need commonsense reform. And they support political leaders who show the courage to transcend partisanship, reach across the aisle and develop long-term, broad solutions. That's what we need to replace our broken immigration system.
"The full Senate must carry this momentum forward and pass a bill that keeps the best interests of our nation in mind. The House also must follow the lead of American voters, Republican and Democrat alike, and pursue wide-ranging reform that respects human dignity and provides for secure borders, safer communities, a stronger economy and a roadmap to citizenship for hardworking American immigrants.
"Much work lies ahead. But today's bipartisan vote shows the great strides we are making toward an immigration process that works for all Americans."

The Young Citizens program focuses on citizenship and is a complementary component to Heritage Fairs, an annual event where students present the results of their research on Canadian heroes, legends and key events in Canadian history. Participants in the Young Citizens program make a short video about their heritage fair topic, much like an evening news report or short documentary. The student videos are posted online and reviewed by a panel of judges for a chance to win a trip to Ottawa to attend the Canada's History Forum.
Watch a clip about Young Citizens from CBC's The National:
2014 Young Citizens
200 students between the ages of 10 and 16 years old from all provinces and territories will participate in Young Citizens. Their videos will be posted online in June so that all Canadians can see their hard work.
A public vote will open on June 17 and families, teachers, schools, and communities are encouraged to submit their vote. Students will be promoting their work in communities all over Canada, leading up to and during Canada History Week. The online vote will close at midnight (Eastern Time) on July 11, 2014. The result of the popular vote will make up 50% of a student's final score.
Following the vote, a panel of judges will review the videos and select six final recipients. The students will receive a trip for two to Ottawa in the fall, where they will show their film at the Canada's History Forum.

Head-To-Toe Dry Skin Solutions: Arctic Weather Edition
Written on February 11, 2014 at 11:40 am , by Fitness Magazine
With not one but two polar vortexes under our belts, those of us in the Northeast are cold, cranky and, well, feeling anything but sexy (think chapped lips, cracking hands and flaky legs—gross). We've rounded up some of the most moisturizing potions to keep your skin happy and hydrated because, let's face it, winter has only just begun (wah!).
Face: CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion ($14, walgreen.com)
This dermatologist favorite provides a controlled release of essential ceramides and other skin-soothing ingredients throughout the day so your skin stays supple from the time you eat breakfast until you hit the sack.
Lips: Mustela Hydra Stick ($10, sephora.com)
Protect your pout with this convenient little stick. Made with cold cream, shea butter and beeswax, it infuses moisture into your lips or anywhere your skin needs it (like around your nose or even your cheeks). Tuck it in your pocket for quick touch-ups while you're shredding the slopes (or after you've endured a rough commute).
Hands: Fresh Brown Sugar Hand Cream ($19, sephora.com)
If only mittens could keep your hands both warm and moisturized. Slather on this rich lotion, which contains shea butter and vitamin E to prevent moisture loss. The caramel and brown sugar scent is intoxicating, yet 100 percent guilt-free!
Body: Jergens Crema Deep Conditioning Shea Butter Body Cream ($7, drugstore.com)
Turn your post-shower routine into a little daily indulgence with this tub of luxurious body cream. Rich shea butter quenches scaly skin, and it absorbs quickly so you can slip into your coziest sweater/leggings combo and prepare to bear the elements.
Feet: Soap & Glory Heel Genius Amazing Foot Cream ($16, Sephora stores)
Sleep your way to softer heels with this yummy foot cream. Just massage a generous amount onto clean feet, slip on cotton socks and drift off. Macadamia oil, menthol and orange and lemon fruit acids will work the night shift so that come morning, your soles will be soft and soothed.
Hair: Kérastase Masque Nutri-Thermique ($18, keratase-usa.com)
Often we're so focused on taking care of our skin in the winter (the flakes!), we neglect our strands. This heat-activated deep-conditioning hair mask nourishes locks from roots to tips and protects your mane from drying-out in the future. Yes, please!
Other Problem Areas: Avéne XeraCalm A.D. Lipid-Replenishing Cream ($32, dermstore.com)
Specially created for eczema-prone skin, this cream will soothe, relieve discomfort and soften tender skin. It's safe for use on the face and body on infants and adults. Whether you have eczema or not, this cream has your dry spots covered (literally)!

6 Ways to Fight Dry Skin This Winter
Written on January 4, 2012 at 10:38 am , by Fitness Magazine
Since arriving in chilly, arid New York City from Mississippi a few weeks ago, I've been plagued by flaky, parched skin and chapped lips. So I grilled dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, M.D., Director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, for his best tips on fighting climate-induced dryness:
- Thicken up your skincare routine by choosing a moisturizer that's one level heavier than what you normally use. If you usually go for a gel formula, try a lotion; if you normally use a lotion, try a cream; and if your go-to is a cream, try a balm, salve or oil.
- Even your ears need a little TLC in the winter, because they're often exposed to the elements: Apply the same product you use for your face on your ears as well.
- Don't neglect your lips! Your lips have fewer oil glands than other parts of your body, so they're highly susceptible to cracking and sun damage. Slather on a lip balm with SPF, Nivea A Kiss of Protection Lip Care SPF 30, every day.
- Using antibacterial gels and frequent hand-washing during flu season can cause dry skin. Help your hands by hydrating with a thick cream such as Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy after each wash. For severe dryness, cover your hands and feet with petroleum jelly followed by gloves or socks before bed to help skin heal overnight.
- Skip the soap: It can strip the body of oil and dehydrate skin. Try a moisturizing body wash like Neosporin Moisture Essentials Daily Body Wash that will gently cleanse dry skin.
- Super-hot showers feel great during the winter, but the heat can break down the skin's lipid barrier. Prevent damage by taking cool or lukewarm baths.

Hands Clean
Written on April 27, 2011 at 9:53 am , by Fitness Magazine
Our hands carry tons of bacteria, which can easily can spread to places we don't want—like our face! So we enlist hand sanitizer in the war against germs. Our latest find: Veripur Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer, a bacteria-killer in a bottle that has a fresh scent (for fragrance-phobes, it's also available unscented) and can be found at your local drugstore.
While most hand purifiers are alcohol-based (read: drying to the skin) this product is quite the opposite—it contains hydrating jojoba, grape seed and avocado oils in a creamy base to nourish as it wards of germs. Instead of blasting bacteria with antiseptic alcohol, it contains benzethonium chloride suspended in a wax base that invisibly binds to skin, killing germs continuously for up to four hours without reapplication. How handy!

Favorite Find Friday: Jurlique Love Balm
Written on April 15, 2011 at 10:42 am , by April Franzino
It's been a nerve-wracking week, and in turn—we're ashamed to admit—our cuticles and nails have taken a beating. So we've been constantly reaching for the tiny tin of Jurlique Love Balm that's tucked into our purse: The skin-quenching natural oil-packed salve works its healing wonders especially well on ravaged cuticles, but also soothes parched faces, body spots, and even then ends of thirsty strands. How do you repair your most ragged parts?

"It's really, really scenic country" ... Nell Schofield fears the coal industry will damage the valley she calls home.
FOR Nell Schofield, the political has become personal.
Twenty years ago the star of Puberty Blues and daughter of the culture critic Leo Schofield founded the community action group Running Water Stream Users Association to protect the aquifer system on the western edge of the Blue Mountains from mining.
Like Cate Blanchett and Jamie Durie, she is also one of Al Gore's Climate Project presenters, trained to educate people about urgently addressing climate change at a grassroots level.
But last year Schofield got a rude shock when she discovered that, like many of her neighbours, a coalmining company held a licence to explore her property. ''It is a shock when it comes to your backyard,'' she said.
Her property, Swamplands, sits on 50 hectares in the shadow of the Great Dividing Range, halfway between Lithgow and Mudgee. It is on the edge of the Capertee Valley, the second-largest naturally eroded river valley in the world after the Grand Canyon.
''It's really, really scenic country,'' Schofield, who has devoted her property to a bush sanctuary, said. ''It's just like some prehistoric landscape … now it's got a coalmine next to it.''
Schofield is particularly concerned given the rapid expansion of the coal seam gas industry, with its as yet unknown environmental ramifications. ''Where there's coal, there is coal seam gas,'' she said. Last weekend a coal seam gas well exploded on a property in southern Queensland.
''We don't want any exploration in the area until a full hydro-geological study is done,'' Schofield said. More than 100 springs in the area flow into the estuaries of the Hawkesbury, Nepean and Murray-Darling rivers.
Centennial Coal has not yet sought access to Swamplands but it has approached Schofield's neighbour. The Environmental Defender's Office is holding a workshop in Rylstone on June 9.
''Their advice is basically to make access as difficult as possible and eventually take the matter all the way to the Land and Environment Court and represent yourself,'' Schofield said. If that fails, she will join the Lock the Gate resistance movement and will bar miners from entering her land.
''You realise you own just a couple of metres of the land, the government owns the coal reserves underneath, and that is more important to the government than the land and the people and creatures who live on it,'' she said.
Schofield said coal companies were dividing the community, negotiating individual agreements with landowners. ''The way they come into the community is divide and conquer … they throw contracts down in front of landowners who don't have lawyers. They just get done over.''

Because there isn't enough real joy in the house of God, we need entertainment. Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy. Because there isn't enough power in the house of God, people are always looking for something to take its place. We point the finger at the world, but we need to turn to the Church and say we'd better all get sackcloth and ashes and humble ourselves and say "Almighty God!" When I see the Church in the New Testament, they didn't have stately buildings or paid evangelists or a lot of money. They couldn't get on television and beg! But I'll tell you what they did - they turned the world upside-down! Leonard Ravenhill

10 Tech Concepts You Need to Know for 2010 1. Anthropomimetic Machines No matter how closely a robot resembles a human on the outside, if you crack it open, the jumble of wires is unlikely to bear much resemblance to our insides. A group of European researchers aims to bridge that gap--its robot prototype is anthropomimetic, meaning it mimics the human form. There's a skeleton made of thermoplastic polymer, actuators that correspond to each muscle and kiteline as tendons.
Can we change the future? A scientific view... I was reading this article from 1998 about quantum theory – I know it's pretty old…, but there was something about it that struck me!

So, I decided to put together all this scientific evidence with one scope – Can we change the future? Do we have an influence on our future?
Chrome to Surpass IE Market Share by End of March It's an iPad 3 jigsaw puzzle! We've heard a lot of iPad 3 rumors over the last few weeks. However, today we bring you something a little more ... physical, than the usual source claiming the next iPad will be announced on March (or February) X, 2012. Instead of wondering if the next iPad will pack this display or that port, one repair site decided to take some of the rumored parts people have been talking about and see if they fit together. AppleInsider reports that iLab managed to get its hands on three individual parts rumored to be in the next iPad: An LCD panel from Sharp, a back plate/casing, and a newly-designed 30-pin dock connector. Story of Change « The Story of Stuff Project Over the past several decades, many environmental and social change efforts have come to reflect the centrality of shopping in our culture, suggesting change can be made—or is even best made—through alterations in our individual consumption patterns. These efforts—buy Fair Trade or organic, use a reusable bag, screw in a CFL lightbulb—are a great place to start, but they are a terrible place to stop, ignoring the real source of our power: coming together as engaged citizens. In The Story of Change, released in July 2012, Annie Leonard argues that it's not bad shoppers who are putting our future at risk; it's bad policies and business practices.
How to Create a Color Palette for Your Website A color palette is the set of colors used in the design and creation of the website. These colors should be chosen carefully because they will not only determine the overall look of your site, but they will help define your brand as well. Most color palettes consist of between two and four colors, not including basic colors such as black and white. If you already have a logo or corporate design, then you may already have a good idea of the colors you wish to include in your website. First, choose a primary color. If you already have a logo, choose the main color of that logo.

G-Dragon Fans Ready For Malaysia Concert With Special Guest Taeyang : http://www.youtube.com/
G-Dragon is literally taking the world by storm with his solo One of a Kind Tour.
He has already played sold out shows in Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Thailand and only has three countries left: Indonesia this weekend, Malaysia the week after that, and Singapore rounding out the tour at the end of the month.
Each of the concerts have, not surprisingly, featured other members of the YG Entertainment family. But the addition of G-Dragon's fellow Big Bang member Taeyang as a special guest for the Malaysian show has fans in the country extremely excited.
With tickets already sold out, the concert organizers in Kuala Lumpur did a bit of rearranging to help the massive number of fans still trying to purchase tickets.
"With Cat 3 tickets sold out, seated categories were no longer available," concert organizers Running Into The Sun stated on their website.
"To cater to those who haven't been able to purchase tickets yet, we've worked hard to reconfigure the layout and created a new seating category – CAT 5 RM458."
The statement continued with a note about overcrowding and safety, "We do want to highlight that the safety of fans is of utmost priority, and we've taken care to ensure that there's sufficient space in the XZone sections."
G-Dragon's Kuala Lumpur concert will not only be the first time he has performed solo in the country, but will also be the only outdoor show on the tour, an added treat for fans in Malaysia.
According to Running Into The Sun, it is one of the top three most anticipated events of the year and will include spectacular outdoor sets and special effects unique to the outdoor venue.
Concert promoters also added that the addition of Taeyang as a special guest for the performance is sure to make it a high-energy, fun night for the thousands of fans who will be in attendance.
G-Dragon will perform at the National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on June 22 at 8pm.
Additionally, fellow Big Bang member T.O.P will be the special guest for the June 15 and 16 shows in Jakarta, Indonesia and 2NE1 will perform alongside G-Dragon for his final shows in Singapore on June 29 and 30.

When I was younger, my father and I debated who was the greatest movie hero ever. Dad is a John Wayne man, and I've always been partial to Clint Eastwood. All respect to The Duke. A legendary icon. Maybe it was a generational thing, but between Dirty Harry, Philo Beddoe and the various awesomely grumpy old man parts he's played in the last couple of decades, Eastwood is still my guy.
One of my favorite Eastwood movies is his Heartbreak Ridge, where he played Marine Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Highway…Gunny Highway.
Though the 'love story' in Heartbreak Ridge is almost tacked on as an afterthought, there's plenty of good military marriage advice offered by Gunny. Even if he didn't intend to offer it.
(Spoiler alert: Questionable language and judgment to follow…)
"Well, it seemed like the thing to do, Sir." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Yeah, life can be grueling and routine…punishingly monotonous even. Even the most overscheduled couple can afford some wacky spontaneity once in a while.
"Sergeant, you get that contraband stogie out of my face, before I shove it so far up your ass, you'll have to set fire to your nose to light it." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Once you start cutting corners or down the slippery slope of minor ethical lapses, all hell follows. You wake up one day and don't even recognize yourself anymore. Stay the course. If you have to ask, "Is (texting an old flame, looking at questionable material online, etc.) cheating?", the answer is probably 'yes'.
"I'll never tell, at least not while the sun's shining." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Keep most of your personal stuff on a 'need to know' basis. Gossip is some military folks' cure for boredom. Don't feed the monster. Close friends, family. Yeah, everyone needs to share sometimes to get things off their chests. But don't air your (or others') dirty laundry if you can help it..
"It's clusterf*%k. Marines are fighting men, Sir. They shouldn't be sitting around on their sorry a**** filling out request forms for equipment they should already have." - Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Take care of the important stuff. Core essentials should be the only priority. Everything else is just time consuming noise. Don't get too worked-up over largely inconsequential nonsense.
I'm not sure I like the way you say "Marine". – Gunny Highway
I can say "Marine" any damn way I choose. I earned that right. – Aggie, Highway's Ex-wife
"That's right. You have." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Military spouses endure a lot of grief. Deployments. Moving all the time. They shouldn't be a bunch of bellyaching crybabies, but stuff builds up. Servicemembers should expect a little blowback from time to time. Spouses have earned that right.
"…where we proceed to get the clap and the drip and the crabs…and generally a poor attitude towards the female of the specie." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Don't give your spouse an STD.
"This is the AK-47 assault rifle, the preferred weapon of your enemy; and it makes a distinctive sound when fired at you, so remember it." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Over time, you will learn to recognize a tone of voice or a facial expression that your spouse uses…only in the event of war. Tread very carefully when you see it.
"Sir, I'll wait outside for the MPs to come." –Swede Johanson (who just confronted Gunny and got his tail handed to him in seconds)
"Negative, Johanson. You're going to become a Marine, right now." –Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Marriage is tough. Especially when you add kids to the equation. You may often feel like heading for the hills, running away from home, whatever. Marriage is easy when it's all honeymoons and hugs. Real marriage starts when the going gets rough.
"Jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft is not a natural act. So do it right, and enjoy the view." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Some people say the same thing about monogamy, that it's unnatural, an artificial social construct. Hey, enjoy the view. Just because you're married doesn't mean you've become blind to the natural (and, um, artificial) beauty/beauties around you. But do marriage right. It doesn't matter where you get hungry, only that you come home for dinner. (Side note to my wife: Gunny said this, not me.)
"Sensual communication, meaningful…(growl)…panther piss." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Your servicemember might have gooey insides and really want to be your Sensitive New Age Guy In Shining Armor. But don't be surprised if your servicemember, whose business is warfare, isn't always ready to talk about his feelings.
"I'm afraid I'll dent that think skull of yours with this frying pan." – Aggie, Highway's Ex-wife
"Well, it wouldn't be the first time for that now, would it?" – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: Physical violence between spouses is a pretty good sign that things have passed the point of no return. Still, many things that seem monumental and catastrophic at the time might be just the things that you both laugh over years later.
"What did you want out of our relationship?" - Gunny Highway
"Relationship? Hell, I thought we were married." – Aggie, Highway's Ex-wife
Gunny says: More often than not, marriage is a life-management partnership. Domestic tranquility, bills, shopping and errands. And kids' homework and sports and birthday parties and bedtimes. Even if your life has become more 'running around' than 'romantic comedy', just don't forget to keep the relationship alive, if only for fleeting moments.
"You can run me...and you can starve me...and you can beat me and you can kill me. Just don't bore me." – Gunny Highway
Gunny says: The Hurt Locker opens with a quote, "…war is a drug." Not every servicemember is an adrenaline junkie, but being in the military is more of an identity than a job. A reflection of who you are. Keep that in mind. There's no avoiding the fact that life can't be fireworks and adventure all of the time. Just don't make it 'none of the time'.

Seven Reasons I'm Thankful To Be an At-Home Parent

The energy embedded in manufactured products, from their manufacturing processes and the extraction of the raw materials that make them, accounts for a large and often unnoticed component of our energy consumption. Our academics from across the disciplines work in reducing energy demands in different aspects of manufacture, from resource efficiency and recovery to netshape processing and novel casting techniques.
Sustainability is a significant aspect of future manufacturing success and we have projects looking into sustainable catalysis and the recovery of precious metals and phosphorous from waste. We also develop techniques for processing metal that involve significantly less energy than traditional techniques, and are at the forefront fo research into light metal casting and investment casting technologies. Energy recovery processes, for example from the cooling of cast metals, are integrated into this research. Overall industrial processes are analysed to optimise efficiency and reduce waste in manufacture.
Our netshape manufacturing techniques in or School of Metallurgy and Materials have the potential to reduce the amount of metal required to produce a finished product by up to 90% when compared to traditional casting and milling processes. They also make the repair of delicate metal components possible, reducing waste and material consumption within a number of industries.

We serve a mighty God who is able to turn every bad break into a good break. Throughout the journey, we'll all face closed doors.
Maybe you didn't land the job. Maybe your business failed. Maybe there were some broken dreams.
You may be tempted to get soured on life. You may want to throw in the towel. Well, I have some encouragement for you, there is another piece to the puzzle.
God has blessings in store for you, you just wait and see. It may sound "cliche" but when one door closes another door opens. If that relationship didn't work, that's God's way of paving some new better connections.
Maybe you didn't get that lifetime opportunity that you were hoping to get, well don't get bitter. Don't get dismayed. No, God has victory for you!
You never know, God may have blocked that opportunity to grant you a greater opportunity. Be encouraged today. Stay in faith. You have an advantage!
Before the foundation of the world, God had great things in store for you. He doesn't want you to live in mediocrity. He doesn't want you to live an average, mundane, just get by lifestyle. No, He has a life of abundance in store,
Your story ends in victory! There are explosive blessings on the way. Trust God's master plan and know that He has your best interests at heart. Let your report be, "I won't get discouraged. There's a significant piece of the puzzle that is coming my way!"
If you'll stay in faith, you'll come into the victory God has for you. In due time, God will bring the right people, the right opportunities and the good breaks your way. Then He'll catapult you into your abundant blessings as you charge forth on your journey of life!

Does Reinsurance Need Reinsurers?
AbstractThe reinsurance market is the secondary market for insurance risks. It has a very specific organization. Direct insurers rarely trade risks with each other. Rather, they cede part of their primary risks to specialized professional reinsurers who have no primary business. This article offers a model of equilibrium in reinsurance and capital markets in which professional reinsurers arise endogenously. Their role is to monitor primary insurers credibly, so that insurers can raise capital more easily. In equilibrium, the financial structure of primary insurers consists of a mix of reinsurance and outside capital. The comparative statics yield empirical predictions which are broadly in line with a number of stylized facts from the reinsurance market. Copyright The Journal of Risk and Insurance, 2006.

Not too long ago, the Toronto Blue Jays moved left handed relief pitcher Brett Cecil from the 15 day disabled list to the 60 day, shutting him down for the remainder of the season.
Cecil has been dealing with some elbow inflammation as he appeared in 60 games for the Blue Jays this season. Cecil managed to pitch 60 innings of work and carried an ERA of 2.82.
Now according to Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos, the team is considering putting him back into the rotation next season.
"We never talked to Brett about it, but we kicked it around for a brief moment because obviously he had success and we had holes that had come up." Alex Anthopoulos told Sportsnet.ca.
This team did in fact run into some problems with their rotation last season. They lost J.A. Happ for a good part of the season after he was struck in the face by a linedrive in a game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
R.A. Dickey's numbers dropped compared to last season. He finished the year 14-13 with a 4.21 ERA and 177 strike outs. Compared to 2012 with the New York Mets where he finished 20-6 with five complete games, three of them being shut outs and 230 strike outs.
So Cecil being placed back into the rotation isn't all that bad of an idea. In 2010 he finished the year 15-7 after pitching 172.2 innings and had an ERA of 4.22 with 117 strike outs. So if he can get back to that form, he should be perfectly fine.

Roasting the tomatoes heightens their natural flavor and sweetness. Serve this dish over hot cooked rice or pasta.
Cooking Light AUGUST 2008
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Combine fennel and bell pepper on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Drizzle vegetable mixture with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat. Broil 10 minutes. Add tomatoes to pan; toss gently. Broil 10 minutes.
3. Combine remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, garlic, and shrimp in a bowl; toss to coat. Add shrimp mixture to pan. Broil an additional 6 minutes or until shrimp are done and vegetables are charred and tender. Transfer shrimp mixture to a large bowl. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss gently. Sprinkle mixture with cheese and basil.
Wine note: This refreshing summer dish is all about the snap of tart and tangy ingredients (tomatoes, feta, and shrimp) juxtaposed with herbal flavors (basil and fennel). Try it with a lively herbal sauvignon blanc from Sancerre, in the Loire Valley of France. The Vincent Delaporte Sancerre 2006 is about $22. —Karen MacNeil
