In the wake of news reports of horrendous conditions at the Chinese plants that make Apple's iPhone (and just about every gadget we love) ZDNet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes asked readers how much more they would pay for "ethical" consumer electronics – in other words, that were built in safe, humane working conditions.
It's question that goes right to the core of our entire fast-changing, tech-happy, consumption driven IT business model. As I recently wrote for the Global Delivery Report site I edit, companies like Apple rely on China not just for lower costs, but the flexibility to, say, change out the screen on a phone at the last minute so customers get the absolute coolest product possible. If 8,000 workers in China must be roused out of bed to make the last-minute change, so be it.
What percent of the business and consumer tech market would be willing to pay a premium for an iPad, notebook or home router certified to be made in a factory that protected workers' lives and paid them a decent wage? Maybe 10% of the market? 20%? If the experience of organic grocer Whole Foods is any guide, there are enough upper-income folks out there to support a decent business (or maybe a store within a store at retailers such as Best Buy) selling such guilt-free goods.
True, at Whole Foods (which some folks call "Whole Ppaycheck" due to its nosebleed prices) you get the benefit of supposedly healthier food along with the feeling you're helping the environment and not exploiting farm workers. Maybe combining the "fair trade" promise with "Made Domestically" would be enough to separate you from more of your money.
As with Whole Foods (and, heck, with Apple) the key is marketing and presentation to a high-end audience. (Ever wonder why the boxes of cantaloupes are left unpacked in Whole Foods? Because it looks more rustic.) The "green" theme will have to go beyond the eco-friendly bamboo covers (less harmful plastic!) some computer makers already offer. I see pictures of smiling workers next to the higher-priced yellow price tag, offers to donate to the local school rather than an extended warranty at the checkout counter, and patriotic denim carrying cases to show you're packing gear made in the good ol' U.S.A.
The only thing that's missing is some obessed visionary, a la Steve Jobs or Whole Foods' own John Mackey to make it happen. If you read this and get rich, throw me a few shares of stock to show how ethical you are. In the meantime, I gotta get back to work so I can afford the guilt tax on my next cell phone.

Laylita's Mousse de Maracuya
I have wanted to post this recipe for mousse de maracuya/passion fruit mousse for a couple of weeks. Written by Layla, an Ecuadorian woman who now lives in Seattle, Laylita's recipes is full of great ideas for recreating traditional recipes far from home. This light mousse can be made with frozen fruit pulp as a substitute for fresh passion fruit and replaces condensed milk with heavy cream, which is perfect for the warm days ahead. I found these edible flowers pouring out of a basket at the farmer's market on the first clear morning we've had in weeks. I thought they would make a pretty garnish to replace the fresh pulp seeds that were nowhere to be found. I'll definately try this again with fresh fruit, but in the meantime, it was nice to have my own bit of sun.
Ana I must have that. Next time I go to New York please make it for me. It looks delicious!!5 July 2009

"So far as we feel sympathy, we feel we are not accomplices to what caused the suffering. Our sympathy proclaims our innocence as well as our impotence. To that extent, it can be (for all our good intentions) an impertinent- if not inappropriate- response. To set aside the sympathy we extend to others beset by war and murderous politics for a reflection on how our privileges are located on the same map as their suffering, and may- in ways we might prefer not to imagine- be linked to their suffering, as the wealth as some may imply the destitution of others, is a task for which the painful, stirring images supply only an initial spark.
Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. The question of what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, the knowledge that has been communicated. If one feels that there is nothing 'we' can do — but who is that 'we'? — and nothing 'they' can do either — and who are 'they' — then one starts to get bored, cynical, apathetic." - Susan Sontag, Regarding the Pain of Others
"Regarding the Pain of Others" was Susan Sontag's last published book. It was a frustrating read on photography and war, because every page contains so much truth and helplessness. Today I was reminded of the book after a friend introduced me a song by Alt-J, Taro.
The song is about the first female war photojournalist, Gerda Taro. Taro was the partner of Robert Capa, who later co-founded Magnum. Taro died in 1937 when in battle. She was only 26.
We are a few days from 2013, and there are still people dying in Libya, Syria, Gaza etc etc. I am so afraid of spotting Nicole Tung's name in the news. She chose to be out there in the firefights covering and exposing the brutality of war, over a comfortable desk job in Hong Kong or New York.
This Christmas as you pick out a new phone, a new camera for yourself, or gifts for people you love; please consider paying attention to what is happening elsewhere, too. Not very merry. But Merry Christmas.
"I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I've lost." — Nan Goldin
Silenzio, by François Fontaine / Su Li-Zhen, is that you?
Silenzio, by François Fontaine
The photographer reconstructs iconic movie scenes and characters in this homage to cinema, Silenzio. The intentional haziness and blur gives the images an atmospheric texture that relates directly to memory. As in films, Silenzio tells us that what might be visually inaccurate can still be emotionally intact.
"This is amount of work that goes into a hand printed photograph - Keep in mind all those figures (times) and tone setting's are all made by hand." via New Touch Lab
I don't think it matters whether one prefers film or digital, but there should be no argument that photographers back then were way more intense.
Just trying to understand Ansel Adam's Zone system in theory is already daunting enough. To know your way around the darkroom, such that these kinds of 'methods' give you a good print, is literally dancing in the dark.
Even if you know what you want an image to look like, to create it necessitates more than just trial and error: you need tonnes of persistence. However, like cycling and swimming, once you get it, dancing in the dark becomes instinct.
If you happen to be in Hong Kong, you have to see this.
Ho Fan's work is stunning.
Approaching Shadow, Hong Kong, 1956/2012, Fan Ho. From Hong Kong Yesterday.
I find that popular old photographs depicting Hong Kong, and probably Asia, tend to be drenched in orientalism (see orientalism in art history and Edward Said's writings). They are valuable historical accounts, but angled through Western eyes: this is a sampan, this is a fish market. No doubt fascinating glimpses into the past, but rarely is there any room for contemplation.
And then there is Fan Ho. His approach is subtlety and abstraction, new perspectives and technical perfection. Much like László Moholy-Nagy and Albert Renger-Patzsch, prominent figures in the school of Bauhaus, Fan Ho's subject matter is never about the big picture. In his work are the mundane, every day objects, and life.
He prefers the minute and often unnoticed moment of intimacy (see Little Women and Back to Mother here), over what outsiders may perceive as very Hong Kong. He prefers playing with shadows and architecture, over matter-of-fact captures of the street. Photographs of old Hong Kong are typically shot in a documentarian manner (see geewhizgolly's old Hong Kong tag), but Fan Ho shoots like a painter.
The war brought about social and political fragmentation everywhere. A pictorialist takes a sentimental approach bordering on propaganda: this is a poor starving child, this is a bloodied soldier. The photographer presses the shutter to express his political ideologies. But those sick of political strife, created new objectivity where every message is stripped off, and where art and photographs show nothing but its intrinsic aesthetic value.
But here comes the plot twist, the results are rarely just emotionless objects, they do trigger our own memory and give us room to contemplate the people in the picture. They say nothing, but it doesn't mean there is nothing to say. You don't look at Fan Ho's photos and gasp at how political, how oriental they are. You just say, "Shit, this is beautiful."
Actually, what I really wanted to say, is that this was a homage to Mr. Ho (although it turned out to look nothing like it). And then I couldn't stop gushing because shit, Mr. Ho's work is beautiful.

My favorite car yet! by BrittyJean08 on 11/13/2010. Trim: 2009 Nissan Xterra X 2WD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I traded in my Nissan Altima for the Xterra and I couldn't be happier. The moment I saw this car I knew I had to have it! It looks great, gets decent fuel mileage for an SUV and does everything I need it to do. It is extremely comfortable too! I can't say enough good things about this car... I love it!
Cons: The only Con I have is that I can't be driving this car 24/7!

Profession info for me, too. I'm a miner/engi and I can't wait to hear about what new gadgets engineers will get in MoP and what the new ore will be. Also, fishing and cooking. I'm really really excited about these new cooking specializations.
Plus, more info on the female Pandaren customization and what those missing slot options will end up being. I hope we'll see some actual facial feature choices, ones that change the shape of the nose & mouth and/or eyes. I'd love for them to have actual facial expressions, like most other races. A happy face, angry face, etc.
And, I can't wait to hear even more about pet battles. I'm so psyched about all the new pets that will be available.

1/3 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar

After the Olympics David Cameron hosted a 'hunger summit' [1] at Downing Street, bringing together world leaders and celebrities to talk about the global problem of malnutrition in children. But the focus at the summit was on big business, hi-tech solutions, involving GM crops, and more efficient ways of delivering food aid. There was no attempt to tackle the vested interests which exacerbate, and profit from, rising food prices.
The soaring cost of food is usually explained by things like increased demand, climate change causing floods and droughts, and rising costs of production and distribution. Of course, all these factors play a part. But what is less publicised is the role of financial speculators.
Up until 2000, global commodity trading was regulated, so speculation was limited. Then the markets were deregulated, and as the dotcom bubble and then the housing bubble burst, traders increasingly turned to agricultural commodities to make a quick profit. Investment banks and hedge funds gamble on the prices of such essentials as corn, wheat and rice, causing wild fluctuations in prices.
Yaneer Bar-Yam, a researcher who has studied these markets says [2]: "People are starving because the markets are out of equilibrium. Food prices have nothing to do any more with the real price of food, or the availability of food,"
Since the credit crunch these markets have grown increasingly volatile, as more and more traders pile in, and this summer has seen prices fluctuate wildly. In July one US hedge fund manager, who already oversees a fund of $14.7 billion said [3], "It's like a big money tap has been turned on."
But many people believe that making a profit from driving up the price of essential foods while people starve is morally wrong, and it seems this has registered with some in the financial community. Just this month, Austria's Volksbanken became the sixth European bank to withdraw [4] from trading in food-based investment funds.
Michael Barnier, European Commissioner for the Internal Market has said [5]: "Speculation in basic foodstuffs is a scandal when there are a billion starving people in the world. We must ensure markets contribute to sustainable growth. I am fighting for a fairer world and I want Europe to take the lead on that."
There are calls for regulation to be brought back, and a strict cap on the sums that can be gambled this way. The UK government with its laissez-faire approach, is opposing this [6], refusing to tackle the vested interests of big financial institutions like Barclays Capital, a key player in the market.
The World Development Movement is running a campaign [7] to put pressure on George Osborne to drop his opposition to such regulation, and is particularly targeting voters in his constituency of Tatton [8], one of the wealthiest UK constituencies [9] outside Central London.
Let's hope they are responsive. After all, 'Give us this day our daily bread' is not much to ask.

Flexible enough to be played upright or "kicked back" as a monitor, the Hartke Kickback 12 quickly became one of the most imitated (but not duplicated) designs in bassLike all "Kicks," the Kickback 12 stands up or kicks back for increased high-end clarity and directionality. The Kickback 12 pushes 120 watts into 8 ohms through a custom 12'' Hartke aluminum-cone driver for an incredibly deep low end. The unique "Shape" contour filtering and 3-band EQ of the Kickback 12 facilitates precise tonal shaping. The Kickback 12 features all that plus a balanced XLR output and a headphone output that mutes the speaker for quiet rehearsing all packed into a road-worthy cabinet with reinforced corners and metal grille.

Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
I bought one more than 6 years ago. It had the same 120 watts head but with a 10" aluminum cone. I worked like a champ for medium and small sized venues. It sounded good and never distorted even after countless beatings and ruff subways rides to the gigs. A few months ago my gig partner dropped it from a van and it blew the speaker. Check This Out!! I bumped into Mr. Larry Hartke, founder of the company, on the 34st Sam Ash Manhattan and, I told him I was looking to buy a replacement cone. It turns out that that particular cone was discontinued. Nevertheless, he takes my info and a short time latter he sent me a new speaker right to my home and didn't even charge me! Its the nicest thing anyone from the bass business has done for me and, I have had many bumps with other bass products including pricey high-end names. Best costumer service experience ever! Mr. Larry Hartke truly stands behinds his products.

Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
Whether I am playing upright or electric bass, I love my Hartke Kickback 12!
For years I lugged around monster bass amps, but those days are over.
The Hartke by itself is loud enough to fill most small to medium sized venues.
However, I mostly use it as my monitor and connect through the P.A. via the handy XLR out to give me more oomph if I need it. The kickback feature (often imitated these days) allows me to park the amp off to one side of me and aim the sound at my head, so I can hear what I am playing.
The bass port or vent out the back is as big around as a soup can and fires low frequencies right at the ground when kicked back.
In my Jump Blues band (which can get pretty loud and lively), I like to go through the p.a. anyway because then my sound is coming out of two main speakers and two nice big floor monitors, each of which has a 15" speaker. I don't know of a bass amp that can compete with the sound I get from four 15" P.A. speakers, and the Hartke Kickback 12 is a perfect stage monitor.
My bigger bass amps have become homes to spiders in the garage since I bought this amp two years ago.
That having been said, It sounds big and great on its own until I turn it up past the noon position, at which point it starts to get kind of farty in its tone.
If this amp got lost or stolen, I would replace it with one just like it.
I have been gigging for more than 20 years, and my days of lugging a cumbersome 4x10 or 1x15 combo are over. Gimme my Hartke and get the hell out of my way!

Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
WOW! When i first tried this amp at my local Sam Ash i was blown away by how loud it was. I ended up buying it the following week after i got my paycheck. i was shocked to find out that it fits in when playing in a heavy metal band. I had my band come and we played a few covers from Iron Maiden and Slayer to Dream Theater and Sonata Arctica. I would recommend this amp to any bassist trying to find a heavy metal bass amp.

Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
Amazing sound from such a small package. I was a little concerned that there wouldn't be enough bottom end... there is plenty and it is nice and clean. Recently recoreded with it and the engineer loved it. Haven't played through my 450w stack since I bought this... it does everything I need it to and doesn't break my back... now that I am in my 50's that's a very important factor as well. I should have bought one of these years ago...

Best Uses
Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
First and foremost - this amp has amazing presence! You know how the sound from an acoustic bass seems to come from everywhere? It's like that. It fills the space around it with rich, full sound - whether you're backing up an acoustic guitar at a wedding, or rocking out at the reception afterward.Second - I just love the tone controls. You can really tell that this was designed BY a bass-player, FOR bass-players. So many people have flipped over the sound of the front end of this amp that [...] sells it separately. That should tell you something.VERY portable! If you play a variety of gigs, and sometimes two or three different venues in one day, you'll really appreciate the "Sound For Pound" ratio. This is now my main amp. I sold the smaller amp that I used for acoustic gigs, and the bigger amp that I used for dances. The Kickback covers everything but the loudest gigs.By the way - this is probably obvious to most people, but I should mention it just in case - no single 12 combo is going to keep up with a Marshall stack. (But you could run four of them through a splitter . . . )
Best Uses
Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
I used this combo for a 3 piece classic rock band. The guitar player was way too loud, but this combo did not get drowned out. I also had a Peavey rig with a huge 2 X 15" cabinet and an 800 watt head, which was more than I needed. I ended up selling that rig because the Hartke was much smaller, and actually sounded better. This combo is perfect for small to mid size rooms.
Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
"This is the original ""working bassist's"" amp, and still the best! The Kickback 12 is all I need for 98% of what I do, which is theater stuff and casuals. The more gigs I take it on, the more I love it. One thing I like is that it's not super-directional. It puts out a really nice, space-filling field around it - on both sides, and even in back. And it even does that at lower volumes. So you, the drummer, and everybody else can play more in the pocket, even when you're having to turn way down. I love the tone controls - dead simple, but I barely moved any of the knobs more than a number or two off dead center. The Shape circuit is fantastic! You have to hear it in action to understand how well this amp was thought out. Maybe it's the aluminum speaker, but this is also about the most full-spectrum single-12 amp I've ever used. It has the highs you expect from a pair of 10s with a tweeter, but the presence of a 15. The soundman will love it for having a pre-EQ XLR direct out, and you'll love it for sounding so VERY good and only weighing 42 pounds! Drive to the gig with it in the front seat of your car, carry it up two flights, plug in, and GO! "
Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
This is the best Combo I've ever had. It's light and small but it cuts through with awesome tone and presence. I use it for practice and small gigs and it is much better than hauling my stack. My keyboardist used it for practice once and went out and bought one for himself the next week. now it's all he uses.
Comments about Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo Amplifier:
I use the kickback 12 for bass and keyboards and it sounds great and cuts through playing with a very loud band.

DALLAS, Texas (February 8, 2014) – It went to the replay and was ruled that sophomore center Rachel Hollivay's (Columbus, Miss.) put back at the buzzer left her hands before the clock hit zero to lift the Rutgers women's basketball team to a 65-64 victory over SMU in a thriller at Moody Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.
Hollivay finished with a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds to help improve RU to 18-5 overall and 9-3 in American Athletic Conference play. Classmate Kahleah Copper (Philadelphia, Pa.) finished with a team-high 20 points, with 14 points coming from second half action. Freshman guard Tyler Scaife (Little Rock, Ark.) added 10 points.
SMU, which led by as many as nine with two minutes remaining in the game, fell to 14-9 overall and 5-7 in the conference race. The Mustangs were coming off a 102-41 loss at UConn on Tuesday night.
Rutgers trailed 59-50 with two minutes left on the clock when Copper went on a 5-0 run of her own. The Scarlet Knights' leading scorer hit two free throws and the "and one" to close RU's gap to within four, but then fouled out of the game with 1:16 remaining.
SMU's Akil Simpson went to the line after being fouled by Copper, but missed the front end of a one-and-one, with junior Betnijah Laney (Clayton, Del.) hauling in the rebound. On the other side of the court, Laney missed her 3-point attempt, but Hollivay stood her ground underneath for the tip-in, cutting the Rutgers deficit to 59-57 with 59 seconds to go.
On the following possession, Mustang and conference leading scorer Keena Mays went to the line. Connecting on her first free throw attempt, Mays missed the second, but it remained SMU ball as Simpson hauled in the board. With the ball back in Mays' hands, she was promptly fouled and went back to the charity stripe where she hit both attempts this time around. Her free throws put the Mustangs up, 62-57, with 46 seconds left.
RU turned the ball over on its next possession, but SMU's Korina Baker missed the lay-up on the other end, which ended up in the hands of redshirt sophomore Briyona Canty (Willingboro, NJ.). Canty fed the ball to Laney, who drained a three from the left wing as the Scarlet Knights trailed 62-60 with 29 seconds left on the clock.
Rutgers promptly fouled to stop the clock and Mays found herself back at the line. Mays missed her free throw, giving possession back to the Scarlet Knights off a Hollivay rebound.
Junior guard Syessence Davis (Neptune, N.J.) fed Canty at the left side of the arc, where she sank a 3-pointer to give Rutgers its first lead since the 12:35 mark of the first half. Canty's trey put RU up 63-62 with 18 seconds to go.
The dramatics continued, as Mays ended up back at the line and returned the lead to SMU with more free throws. After draining two and giving the Mustangs a 64-63 edge with just five seconds remaining, the ball ended up in the hands of Scaife, who drove to the basket. Her shot bounced off the rim, but Hollivay rose above the scramble for the put back and the win.
The Rutgers women's basketball team will remain in Texas, heading over to Houston to meet the Cougars on Tuesday, Feb. 8. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. (EST).
• Rutgers won its third straight game by topping SMU, 65-64, at the buzzer on Saturday afternoon in Dallas, Texas. The Scarlet Knights improved to 18-5 overall and 9-3 in the American with the win.
• With the win, head coach C. Vivian Stringer improved to 399-202 in her career "On the Banks" – just one victory shy of the 400-win milestone at RU.
• The starting lineup of Rachel Hollivay, Kahleah Copper, Tyler Scaife, Syessence Davis and Betnijah Laney was used for the 13th time this season. That starting five is now 10-3.
• Rutgers has had three or more Scarlet Knights reach double figures in 17 of the first 23 games of the 2013-14 season.
• The Scarlet Knights have scored at least 60 points in 21 of 23 games this season.
• RU recorded 32 of its 65 points in the paint, including the final tip-in by sophomore Rachel Hollivay to seal the win. The team has scored 30 or more points in 17 of the last 19 games and 19 times this season. RU has won the points in the paint battle 18 times in 23 games and is 17-1 in those contests.
• Sophomore Kahleah Copper led the Scarlet Knights with 20 points on 6-of-11 shooting. It was her second straight contest and 19th time in 23 games this season scoring in double figures. It was her eighth game with 20-plus points.
• Copper set a new career-high with eight free throws made against the Mustangs.
• Hollivay finished the contest with 14 points and 10 rebounds, recording the second double-double of her career.
• With two blocks, Hollivay now has 73 this season – one shy of tying LaTonya Johnson (1991-92) for fifth on the single-season list.
• Hollivay recorded her best offensive start to a game in her short career. She began the contest a perfect 4-of-4 from the field in the first half of action, missing her first field goal at the 9:52 mark in the second half. The start beat her previous best mark of 3-of-3 at Memphis on Jan. 14, 2014 and vs. Pittsburgh on March 4, 2013.
• Freshman Tyler Scaife scored 10 points against Memphis, her fourth straight game and eighth time in nine contests in double figures.
• Junior Syessence Davis notched seven assists, tying season-high for the fifth time this season. RU is 5-0 in those contests. Davis had recorded at least five assists for the 14th time in 23 games this season.
• Davis recorded at least three steals (four) for the 15th time in the last 19 games.
• Davis hauled in six rebounds, her 11th time this season with at least five boards.
• The Scarlet Knights edged SMU, 36-33, on the glass, winning the battle on the boards for the third straight game. Rutgers is 13-1 this season when out-rebounding the opposition.
• RU recorded double-digit steals (12) for the 10th time this season.
• Hollivay grabbed six or more rebounds (10) for the sixth consecutive game.
• Sophomore Precious Person finished one point shy of her career-high with eight points, going 2-of-3 from 3-point range. The total was Person's highest since scoring eight on Jan. 22 at UCF.
• As a team, RU went 4-of-9 from beyond the arc, tying a season-high for most 3-pointers made. It was the squad's fourth time converting four 3-pointers.
• RU shot at least 70 percent (76.5) from the free throw line for the seventh time this season, as Copper led the Scarlet Knights with an 8-of-11 clip. The shooting percentage was the team's second-highest behind its 81.3 percent free throw clip on Jan. 28 vs. Louisville.
• SMU had four players score in double figures Saturday afternoon. The Mustangs became just the fourth opponent (UConn, Memphis & UMass) this season to have four players in double figures. It was RU's first victory this season with four opponents topping double figures.

An Outstanding Place to Stay
We're a retired couple, in our mid-60's, who spent six weeks at Casa Duende this winter. We've traveled to places in North America and Europe as well as Asia, and Casa Duende is right at the top of the list. The premises were spotless, and housekeepers visit during the week to keep it that way. It's exceptionally safe, quiet, and cool with a wonderful garden setting. It was great at the end of each day to come back to the quiet coolness of our patio and balcony at Casa Duende. With three bedrooms and three baths, we were able to invite our adult kids to come down and visit, as well. Virginia and the staff at Primavera Properties were friendly and prompt whenever questions came up, and there were no problems whatsoever for us to deal with. The beach is five minutes' walk away, as is the downtown area. Sayulita is a friendly, accommodating town, and we actually got to know some of the local residents. If you want to experience "genuine" Mexico without the resort bubble around you, this is the place. Casa Duende was a wonderful warm weather escape for us this year. We have nothing but good things to say about it. It's a beautiful destination.
Beach was ours
The Owner was great. Property was very quite and very beautiful. The beach in front felt like it was only ours. We will be back

Alternative Headboards: Painted Backdrops & Wall Decals
Headboards can make a grand statement in a bedroom, but sometimes either size or budget constraints can make adding on a challenge. I was first exposed to a painted headboard while attending the AIA Los Angeles house tours and most recently, I've seen examples of wall decals being used as headboards. If you are designing the bedroom on a tight budget, $40 for a headboard wall decal versus a couple hundred dollars or more for a more traditional headboard can make a huge difference.

SIIIIGH* We used to have the wrought iron headboard in red and recently had to take it down in order to re-arange the room to create more space. It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make so far this year! Maybe I'm dramatic, but the empty space in my heart says otherwise. I miss that thing so much! FANTASTIC!
Better make sure you're never going to move the bed from that spot on the wall...
...or you could take your $40 and find a real vintage headboard in a garage sale, flea market or on Craigslist and paint it to fit your space.
I love that blanket at the end of the bed in the first picture. does anyone know where its from?
In regards to the decal headboards, idk it just doesn't seem to work for me. I don't like it.
I really hope this decal/silhouette fad is over soon. These look awful. It reminds me of the sponge painted stencil boarders that were all the craze in the 90's when I was growing up. I didn't like it then, either. I would, however, LOVE that red wrought iron one if it actually real.
I think these are great alternatives if you don't have the space/budget for a headboard. But I really appreciate the functional aspect, which is that I can lean against the headboard without pushing my bed away from the wall. Additionally, headboards protect the wall from things like wear and staining (super cheap sheets dyed the wall AND ME).
I honestly have a love/hate relationship with headboards (big, bulky, annoying to move but so functional), so I love the idea of a decal to just give the look. I too have walls with texture so I'm not sure this will work, and the one I want required multiple people to install. I do love the look of them though.
Years ago my cousin bought a foreclosed bungalow with the furniture left behind. When they were filling the dumpster, they realized the tenants had painted around the headboard of the bed. Similar effect.
If you must have one of these, become a fan of Blik on Facebook, these very items were 15% off one day last week to fans.
I move my bed way too much for something like this, but I think they're really cute-- for now.
The decal is a good idea for a dorm room.
I'm undecided about these stencils. I think in a kid's room or a dorm they'd be great.
I'm with bepsf for once - I'd rather take the money I'd spend on paint and try to find the headboard I want on craigslist or in a thrift store. Nothing else, sit back that money and add to it until I can afford it.
I wouldn't mind trying it, just because I want something above my bed that's light visually and physically. Like a lot of other readers, I just don't have the space for a headboard unless it's less than an inch thick. It's cheekily conceptual--a suggestion or a representation of a headboard--as well as really graphic, which I always appreciate.
But having said all this, I might just buy a pair of square Euro pillows and some nice tailored shams.
I like decals more than painting. The latter feels too permanent for me -- if you ever move things around, you're in for a lot more work.
I did something like this in our bedroom--but much more geometric. I like the look of headboards with open space--spindles, lattice, etc--but I hate the feel of leaning against them. This was a good way to have our bed be a bit more of a focal space, but still be able to lean against the wall comfortably. I also did it with paint and tape on hand--so an effectively free project!
You can see it here, if you're interested.
Oops, here's the link I meant to post in. Long day :-) http://secretcityranch.blogspot.com/search/label/master%20bedroom
The first time I saw the painted-on headboard was in a log cabin in the Tetons 40 years ago. Apparently it was a pioneer custom. Anyway, the reason I like a headboard is so that when I sit up in bed, the bed doesn't push away from the wall. So a fake headboard doesn't work for me at all.
This is about the red metal (I think?) bed in the second image. It's great! Anybody know what it is/where you can get it?
A platform bed will never push away from the wall...

4. Multi-domain Environments
If you have a forest with more than one domain, or you need to set up trusts between two domains in different forests, some extra work may be required to make sure that names can be resolved between the domains.
The problem is that you have two private domains for which no information is held in the public DNS, and each has its own self-contained DNS which contains no information about the other domain.
Solutions to this problem have not been tested, so we advise setting up a trial environment if this is what you need to do. There are a number of possible approaches as follows. In general you should adopt one of the following approaches.
- Where both domains are in the same forest, change the replication for the
DNS zones to replicate
[To all DNS servers in the Active Directory forest](Windows 2003 and above).
- Configure the DNS servers for domain A to forward queries for zone B to the DNS servers for domain B and vice versa.
- Where you have two separate forests, configure secondary zones for domain A on the domain B DNS servers and vice versa.
If you have one domain that is using an existing external name, and a second that is using a private internal name, the solution is likely to be similar, but your main problem is ensuring that the internal names can be resolved; the external names should take care of themselves.
In all cases you need to ensure that your firewall configuration is correct, allowing all DNS servers to be able to query each other.

Vivre Sa Vie (1962) dir. by Jean-Luc Godard (via violentwavesofemotion)

This is the inaugural essay for the Twin Peaks Project—a series of investigations, reflections, and reminiscences by writers who were influenced by David Lynch's seminal television show. The project will begin August 1st. To learn about participation, visit www.twinpeaksproject.com.
By Shya Scanlon
In episode four of the first season of Twin Peaks, Sheriff Harry Truman and Deputy Andy enter the police station looking for Agent Cooper, and find receptionist Lucy Moran watching a soap opera called Invitation to Love on the television at her desk. When Truman asks her what's going on, she launches into a breathless recap of the goings on within the show-within-a-show, a series of shenanigans and backstabbings and double crossings fairly typical for the genre.
Truman clarifies, "What's going on here?"
Modestly funny, but what's funnier is that the plot of Invitation to Love mirrors the action in Twin Peaks itself, so Lucy is actually providing a decent—if abstract—overview of the shenanigans and general soapiness we're tuning in for.
A David Lynch noob might mistake this for a subtle wink at the audience, a sign to resist taking the show too seriously—it's a melodrama, after all. How else should we perceive the overwrought yet strangely wooden acting of the stock characters inhabiting this idyllic sawmill town in the Pacific Northwest?
But a viewer familiar with the eerie, epic melodramas Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart would have a different interpretation: it's clearly playful, this self-reflexivity, but it's no sly, pomo effort at self-sabotage. Those two now-classic films—the former became a critical darling; the latter won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1991—clearly established the concerns still presiding over the production of Twin Peaks: chief among them the struggle between good and evil within the context of kitsch, camp, and nostalgia. All three are set in a present heavily inflected by attitudes and aesthetics normally associated with the 50s, as though Grease were reskinned as a supernatural thriller. As with Twin Peaks, the challenge for the viewer is always that, faced with the superficiality of camp, one is tempted to laugh off the intensity and depth of the struggle. But it was truly the juxtaposition itself that interested Lynch.
Newsweek pronounced 1995 "The Year of the Internet." It was also the year of the Oklahoma City bombing; Aum Shinrikyo claimed responsibility for a sarin gas attack in Tokyo's subway; and both The New York Times and The Washington Post published an anti-technology manifesto titled Industrial Society and Its Future written by one Theodore John Kaczynski, AKA "The Unabomber." That same year, all twenty-nine episodes of Twin Peaks were released as a VHS box set, fully rentable at any sufficiently well-stocked video store. Twenty years later, they're being re-released along with a new cut of the prequel, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, on Blu-ray—a format whose physicality, despite its technical advancement, seems almost quaint in this age of cloud-based digital storage and file sharing.
No matter. I'm betting the rerelease is going to sell gangbusters because unlike, say, the contemporaneous and at-the-time very popular television show (which ran for five seasons to Twin Peaks' two) Northern Exposure, Twin Peaks has cemented its place in television history, not to mention popular culture, thanks in part to the ongoing impact and relevance of David Lynch, but mostly to the fact that it's just a really fucking awesome show.
This release also happens to be perfectly situated in what everyone keeps calling television's New Golden Age, in which no less a commanding middle brow institution than The New York Times itself is publishing op-eds comparing the latest crop of shows to Dickens, and in which no less a middle brow author than Lorrie Moore is writing, in the slightly-higher-than-middle brow New York Review of Books, that author events are crowded with writers swooning over the hot, macho, and vulnerable Tim Riggins (played by the equally hot, macho, and vulnerable Taylor Kitsch) in the runaway hit show based on a movie based on a book called Friday Night Lights.
Premiering five years before the box set finally arrived, Twin Peaks didn't come out during a Golden Age of Television. It came out the same year as Beverly Hills, 90210, and Wings. Granted, 1990 also saw the premier of one of the most popular television franchises of all time, Law & Order, but the only thing golden about Law & Order is its unlikely longevity. And in a time when Billy Bob Thornton, discussing his decision to do TV (in his case, join the cast of an "original adaptation" of Fargo) offers, incredibly, "I saw friends of mine doing it," it's easy to overlook how groundbreaking it was for an esteemed-if-admittedly-not-household-name director to go straight from winning the Palme d'Or to having a show on the same network as the musical police drama Cop Rock, about which the less said the better. It's easy to forget, finally, that in 1990, TV was just not where cool kids looked for identification.

The scenes with Arya and the Hound provide sharp quotable dialogue as always, still an enjoyable pairing to watch, but at this point it would be welcome to see their story advance, without wanting to slip into Lord of the rings style scenes of endless walking.
Some less notable appearances this week go to Danaerys and Brienne. Brienne's scene gives us a little bit of character development for Pod, an always likable character, but not much more. Danaerys' scene this week just seems like stalling her storyline so that they can keep her in Essos until she is needed in Westeros, but the trailer for episode 6 appears to suggest that her storyline may be advancing quicker than we think (we shall have to wait and see).

Why Viacom Should Be Bought on the Dip
Damon is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Not wanting to feel left behind in the race to stream television programs, Viacom (NASDAQ: VIAB) inked an agreement with Amazon for Prime Instant Video releases, thus maintaining its presence online subsequent to the expiration of its deal with Amazon's rival Netflix. Fellow media conglomerates have been securing their investments in Internet video streaming, including Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX) roll out of Video-on-Demand services, as I detailed in a recent blog, as well as News Corp., DirecTV and Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) bids to buy out the remainder of website Hulu.
Time Warner's latest quarterly can provide an idea of the profit potential of video-on-demand, as its home video/electronic delivery revenues advanced 8%, despite slowdowns in other television businesses. The bulk of the increase could be attributed to VOD and electronic sell-through, whereby customers own the electronic content.
As for Disney, in addition to its equity stake in Hulu, its current VOD presence includes the offering of ABC and cable television broadcasts, and the licensing of home entertainment content shortly after its release on DVD. The bid for Hulu, reportedly for more than $1 billion is an aggressive move to gain a greater stake in its own VOD operations, and that of its broadcasting peers.
Viacom's management is pleased with the growth it has seen in digital distribution of its content through outside deals. The youth-focused entertainment giant is taking further measures to capture young audiences. For instance, this March, it launched a Nickelodeon app for the Ipad and similar offerings are in the works for release later this year. It touts the products as adding to the viewing experience through interactive features such as games and discussion boards.
Viacom is securing its foothold in businesses with long-term profitability potential. It also has some catalysts that should bolster results much sooner than that, making the shares a worthwhile holding.
Solid prospects after a weak start
Viacom's first-quarter earnings were beset by a soft performance from its film unit, Paramount, as well as spending to enhance its television content. Programming investments could well support results over time, as discussed in my earlier blog. Moreover, spring and summer movie releases have already proven to be more lucrative than last year's titles, a factor that should drive profit growth in the June, September, and December quarters.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation hit theaters at the end of March and Star Trek Into Darkness was rolled out in mid-May. Each was a boon at the box office and ought to fuel strong DVD sales in the holiday season. The former's $122 million and latter's $185 million in receipts reflect the strength of Viacom's franchises and its capability to revive former blockbuster concepts.
Incidentally, digital market expansion will probably have an immediate impact on profit growth, helping to boost affiliate revenue gains from 2%, to around 10% for the full fiscal year (ends in September).
Putting it all together, the likelihood of a share-earnings surge is good, and shareholders ought to have reason to be assured. Its well-known networks, MTV, Nick, BET, Comedy Central, VH1, Spike, and others, that contribute the majority of income, should continue to attract viewers, thanks in part to aforementioned investments.
Plus, Viacom may have even more on the way to bolster the Filmed Entertainment division's bottom line, particularly World War Z, starring Brad Pitt and due on the silver screen on June 21st. Looking to next year, the start up of an animation unit will be highlighted by a SpongeBob movie slated for late 2014 release. Although it faces competition from Disney and others, animated films are almost a surefire boost to earnings and should be another growth engine. As for Disney itself, it plans to release the animated Planes in August, subsequent to an updating ofThe Lone Rangerscheduled for early July.
The stock's appeal
Having illustrated all of Viacom's positive features, one can see why the shares skyrocketed versus the S&P this year. What is generating interest in the stock at this juncture? It recently sold off to a moderate extent, providing some value. Viacom is consistently repurchasing shares. Plus, its financial strength and profitability ratios, often good gauges of a company's quality, are above those of its industry as a whole. I suggest purchasing the shares.
It's easy to forget that Walt Disney is more than just the House of Mouse. True, Disney amusement parks around the world hosted more than 121 million guests in 2011. But from its vast catalog of characters to its monster collection of media networks, much of Disney's allure for investors lies in its diversity, and The Motley Fool's premium research report lays out the case for investing in Disney today. This report includes the key items investors must watch as well as the opportunities and threats the company faces going forward. So don't miss out -- simply click here now to claim your copy today.

The Montana Volleyball Academy is a traveling club team comprised of the best volleyball players in western Montana. The program has been around for over two decades and for the first time the 18 team made it to back to back national tournaments.
"It's exciting it's going to be a good trip it's always fun when we take the girls out of state and somewhere new and get to experience a different part of the country. Looking forward to the tournament it's four days and I am really looking forward to the girls competing well," said MVA 18 Coach Nate Michael.
"We are so excited and we are pretty blessed with given the chance to go," said Haley Druyvestein.
"I'm really excited it was fun when we went to Ohio last year, but I think this team can do better and I am super stoked," said Kwyn Johnson.
To make it to nationals you can win your region, like the team did last year, or place in a national qualifying tournament which this years team did in Spokane finishing third. Qualifying in a regional tournament is much harder and coach Nate Michael says its a testament to the talent on the squad.
"All the best kids from the western part of the state get to come here and play on one team and it's pretty neat we have some good size and some pretty talented kids and it's been a whole lot of fun," said Michael.
The players say they enjoy playing with an all star lineup after competing against each other in high school.
"It's awesome because I hate playing against the girls that are on this team because they are so good so it's great it's a lot of fun," said Brielle Rolle.
The team says the clubs recent success says a lot about the quality of play in Montana, something they want to put on display for the rest of the country to see.
"I think it's unexpected, we see it when we go to all our tournaments in Spokane or further away that people underestimate which is kind of understandable," said Rolle.
"I think it shows just not to count us out because I lot of people don't even know where Montana is, like they ask if it's near Canada," said Johnson.
"For a lot of these girls it's the first time they're going out and competing on this national level and they're going out and competing well. These girls have come a really long way in a short amount of time and are playing at some of the best volleyball in the country right now," said Michael.
Nationals is a four day tournament in Dallas, Texas it starts June 28th and runs through July first.

The Wonders of Water
Have we convinced you yet? Are you ready to make your water bottle your constant companion and new best friend? Good! Here's how to get started.
Water Intake Tips
Need some ideas for making hydration easy?
- Keep a reusable water bottle in your car, in your gym bag, and in the fridge. Take it wherever you go, so you can leisurely sip on it throughout the day.
- Before drinking that soda or coffee, drink a full 8 ounces of water. Then enjoy your favorite beverage. The water filling your stomach will make you less likely to overindulge in the caffeinated and sugary drinks.
- If plain water is just too bland for your taste, jazz it up with lemon juice or 2 tablespoons of cranberry or orange juice.
- Try sparkling water. You don't have to spend a lot of money on fancy sparkling water in glass bottles with Italian names. You can get a 12-pack of raspberry or lemon flavored sparkling water from Canada Dry. It's just carbonated water after all!
- Replace that soda or cocktail with this sexy little number: sparkling water, a splash of light cranberry juice, and a slice of lime. It's pink, it sparkles, and it's really yummy! If you want to look sophisticated, order this at a bar or restaurant and ask them to put it in a martini glass. (Check out these other mocktails for when you want to spare yourself the extra calories from alcohol.)

BRUSSELS--French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said Friday he was hopeful a deal could be reached for Cyprus and that all options were on the table.
As he arrived at an extraordinary meeting of euro-zone finance ministers called to work on a bail out package for the island, Mr. Moscovici said: "I think we can find a solution. There's a palette of options on the table to ensure financial stability in Cyprus and sustainability of public finances. That's what the eurogroup will work on."
He said the program should be defined by the end of march, and that work was "advancing". "We are well within the time frame," he said.
The Mediterranean island is proving to be a major headache for the euro zone due to its ailing banking sector. Numerous European Union countries have criticized the country's poor record on corruption and money laundering.
An initial assessment of Cyprus's finances had uncovered financing needs of more than 17 billion euros ($22 billion), a sum seen as unsustainable relative to its shrinking annual economic output.
The so-called troika--the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund--is now looking at ways to reduce the total bill by several billion euros, closer to EUR12 billion. The Dutch Secretary of State, Frans Weekers, earlier referred to a figure of around EUR10 billion for the total bail out package.

I got vegan cheese from cruelty free shop. ( please click here to see what I got! )
I have tasted edam ( I think it was on Nachos) , mozzarella at vegan friendly pizza shop in Newtown few times so It it time for me to use it!
I've got vegan
Blue cheese
Well, I bought vegan cheese to eat pizza so I made wholemeal pizza dough!
I am so curious about blue cheese..I can't use tomato sauce base for blue cheese so I made
Roasted potato, caramelised onion and blue cheese pizza
I put lots of black pepper and parsley :) Yes, it does taste blue cheese. Yum
It is dedicated to my Irish boy friend who loves potatoes
For tomato sauce base, I made
Roasted eggplant, sauteed mushroom and fresh cherry tomatoes with basil, oregano
I put both mozzarella and edam both to compare the taste.
I prefer mozzarella for pizza. Edam cheezly is good for Mexican, I think. Like nachos.
Here is the recipe for wholemeal pizza dough recipe
Makes 2 large pizza
2 cups wholemeal flour
1 tsp rapadura sugar ( whatever sugar you have, I use nutritious sugar not refined sugar)
1/2 tsp sea salt
3/4 warm water
7g dried yeast
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in a warm water
- Mix the flour and salt and pour yeast water. Knead until very smooth.
- Leave the dough covered with clean tea towel in a warm oven ( 35C to 40C ) for 15 mins or until dough become double size
- Divide into two and roll out to desired thickness.
* I bake first until slight golden colour then put the sauce and filling.
* You can leave the dough in a fridge for a week. I made double portion and leave the dough in the fridge then I baked pizza in the same week again. Also you can freeze for later use.
I also made korokke. What is korokke?
It is Japanese version of French croquette. We use potato and beef mince to make it but I use chick pea instead of mince.
I mushed potato and chick pea with salt and pepper. Then I inserted edam cheezly inside. then coat with flour, egg ( if you are vegan, please use grated potato instead ) and wholemeal bread crumbs then deep fried.
Serve with mixture of eggless mayo, parsley and lemon juice.

Best Firefox Extensions and Add-Ons for Power Users
One of the main reasons why I've resisted using Google Chrome is because of all of the great extensions and add-ons available for Firefox. Currently, I've got only about 7 installed and activated, but I used to have a lot more. I decided to slim down Firefox so that it wouldn't eat up to much memory while I was running it, since Firefox is my main browser across two computers. Here are some of the best ones I've used.
1. Read It Later
I've stopped using Delicious a few years ago but I use Read It Later very often. I use Read It Later to bookmark articles and posts that I want to read at a later date. It's mainly temporary bookmarking. I can't use the star-system of Google Reader for this, as I use this almost exclusively for work. Since I star quite a few posts, they will drown out some of the articles that I'd like to read. The Read It Later extension is only available for Firefox as an extension. Other browsers only get the web service. If you've got Read It Later installed on two computers, you can easily sync these bookmarks.
2. Adblock Plus
Are you tired of ads? Then you should install Adblock Plus. You can use the extension to remove online advertising and block all known malware domains. It works pretty well.
3. Flashblock
As you've probably heard by now, if you want to maximize the battery life of your laptop, you should install a Flash-blocking extension of some kind. Flashblock works well for Firefox. This gets rid of those pesky Flash-based ads that populate websites. You can always click on an animation to see it if you really want to .
4. US Spellchecker
This was probably one of the first extensions that I installed. The US Spellchecker will spellcheck your typing inside dialog boxes in your browser windows. If you do any blogging or writing online, this is the way to go. While it's nowhere near as effective as MS Word or dedicated spellcheckers included in word processors, it gets the job done.
5. Delicious
While I personally don't use Delicious anymore, nor do I use Pinboard.in, the Firefox extension is really nice to have. Delicious has confirmed that it's currently being sold by Yahoo, so there's no danger of losing all of you bookmarks, but there was a definite Delicious exodus a few weeks ago when we learned that Yahoo was "sunsetting" Delicious. Pinboard saw a heavy spike in users and their price went up from $7 to $9.14.

Adblock is great I use it only on apartmenttherapy websites, that way you can't support your articles. Oh wait what did you do? Oh yeah, nice job. Hey why don't you cut out the middle man and just remove all the ads from your site? Do you see where I'm going yet?

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The University of Arizona Medical Center is reviving the lung and heart-lung transplant programs of the Tucson hospital.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that the program has been on hiatus since Dr. Michael Moulton left in early 2012 to join the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
The Tucson hospital has now hired Dr. Jesus Gomez-Abraham to head its lung and heart-lung transplant programs.
He's leaving the University of Utah where he has been surgical director of similar transplant programs.
