Just a quick FYI on a new Knowledge Base article we published today. This one talks about the following scenario:
- You use the Add-CMDistributionPoint PowerShell cmdlet introduced in Cumulative Update 1 for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1 to create a new remote Distribution Point (DP).
- You deploy content to the new DP and then create a deployment that requires that content for a client in the same remote location as the new DP.
In this scenario you find that the client tries to download the content from the first server installed in the hierarchy (the CAS or stand-alone Primary).
You can get all of the details in the article below:

There is another workaround than using a VBScript as the article linked suggests. Below is a link to a PowerShell script by Arun Ramakrishnan that MSIT uses to build DPs using Orchestrator:
The script is in the folder InstallDP.
Actually, the script linked shared previously is shared by Shitanshu Verma rather than Arun Ramakrishnan. They both describe how they use the scripts with Orchestrator below:

Shalom Group
Ilci G., age 25, represents the group. Motivated by the desire to prosper, and seeing the necessity, she shared the idea of asking for a loan with her colleagues. Years ago she worked in a communal bank with FAPE. She says that these types of loans have helped maintain her business, and they also allow her to support her two children.
All of the women are very hard-workers. Each one of them has a dream to see their businesses prosper and help their children get ahead.

Todas son mujeres muy trabajadoras y cada una de ella cuenta que su sueño es ver prosperar sus negocios y sacar adelante a sus hijos.
Additional Information
About FAPEFAPE, the Foundation for the Assistance of Small Businesses, is a nonprofit, socially-minded institution that provides loans to micro-entrepreneurs across Guatemala.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

"We will start having access to the Internet soon," he said in an interview last month. He said North Korea is in the midst of a major push to expand computer use in every classroom and workplace.
The U.S. delegation's visit takes place as the U.S. pushes to punish North Korea for launching a long-range rocket in December.
Pyongyang celebrates the launch as a peaceful bid to send a satellite into space. The U.S. and other critics, however, condemn it as a covert test of long-range missile technology, and are urging the U.N. Security Council to take action against North Korea.
After arriving in Pyongyang on Monday evening, the group met Tuesday with officials at North Korea's Foreign Ministry.
Richardson, who has traveled to North Korea several times to negotiate the release of detained Americans, was accompanied by Korea expert Kun "Tony" Namkung. He called it "a good, productive but frank meeting," but did not divulge further details about the talks. Namkung has worked as a consultant for The Associated Press.
Schmidt, who oversaw Google's expansion into a global Internet giant, speaks frequently about the importance of providing people around the world with Internet access and technology. Google now has offices in more than 40 countries, including all three of North Korea's neighbors: Russia, South Korea and China, another country criticized for systematic Internet censorship.
He and Cohen have collaborated on a book about the Internet's role in shaping society called "The New Digital Age" that comes out in April.
Using science and technology to build North Korea's beleaguered economy was the highlight of a New Year's Day speech by leader Kim Jong Un.
New red banners promoting slogans drawn from Kim's speech line Pyongyang's snowy streets, and North Koreans are still cramming to study the lengthy speech. It was the first time in 19 years for North Koreans to hear their leader give a New Year's Day speech. During the rule of late leader Kim Jong Il, state policy was distributed through North Korea's three main newspapers.
There was a festive air in Pyongyang for another reason: Kim Jong Un's birthday. Though Jan. 8 is not recognized as a national holiday, like the birthdays of his father and grandfather, and his official birthdate has not been announced, North Koreans acknowledged that it was their leader's birthday Tuesday.

|Key Info
Killean Estate is an exceptional Scottish country estate, beautifully situated on the west coast of the Kintyre Peninsula. Spread over approx 5,000 acres, the land encompasses over 1 mile of coastline and beaches and rises gradually to about 1,200 feet at its highest point, from where there are many vantage points enjoying panoramic views over the sea to the highlands and islands beyond, all the way to Northern Ireland!
The landscape is dramatically varied with farmland, tree-clad lower slopes, woodland policies, and the heather clad Killean Hill where there are rocky outcrops and tranquil hill lochs. Killean Estate also has a number of interesting Iron Age sites, including Burial stones and chambers, cup and ring marked stones and the remains of a prehistoric fort. The ruins of the original 12th Century church of Killean and Killkenzie, one of the oldest in Scotland is beside the Killean burn. This huge expanse certainly makes for fantastic, highly entertaining walks, right from the doorstep and an opportunity to explore without seeing another person all day!
For those with an interest in countryside sports, complementary trout fishing can be enjoyed on the estate's lochs or from the gorgeous sandy beach, where you might also spot a seal, basking in the sun on the rocks. Excellent shooting can also be arranged on the estate - from a day's clay pigeon, to grouse shooting or deer stalking. The estate also runs a successful farming enterprise with sheep, Highland and Aberdeen Angus cattle grazing on the land.
Whilst the estate is situated within the highlands of Scotland, the Kintyre Peninsula benefits from the Gulf Stream, a warm flow which stretches across the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean, bringing with it a temperate climate, so it is usually far warmer here then the rest of Scotland, and even allows for tropical plants to grow within the gardens!
The Courtyard at Drumnamucklach (pronounced dram-na-mook-lak): A brand new restoration of the old farm buildings at Drumnamucklach in 2009 created ten gorgeous mews cottages of varying sizes, which sleep 4, 5 and 6+ people. There are 26 bedrooms altogether if all ten cottages are taken whcih can sleep up to 46 guests.
Each cottage has been named after a native Scottish flower and is individually styled accordingly so that each one has its own character. Some cottages are furnished in a more traditional way with an abundance of antique pieces and some in a lighter more modern cottage-y style. There is sure to be something to suit everyone.
What all the cottages have in common though is their superb location – set on the hill above Killean House, with the most magnificent views over the coastline to the islands beyond, as far as the northern irish coast……. You are certain to be impressed and indeed awe-struck!

Argyll is both accessible and remote. Stretching from the outer limits of Glasgow to Ardnamurchan, the most westerly point in the UK, it is a region of stunning natural beauty, with an island-dotted coastline and picturesque towns. This whole area is the birthplace of Celtic Scotland and there are monuments and castles aplenty to explore during your stay, where you can learn all about the Stone Age Picts, early Irish Dalriata as well as Viking invasions, the Somerled uprising and much more besides. Renowned for its beauty, as well as its native wildlife, it's the holiday destination of choice for those who want to enjoy the great outdoors.
During your drive to Killean Estate, you will pass along the lochside of Loch Lomond, pass over the mountain pass of the Rest and be Thankful, and then meander around the loch edges of Loch Long , Loch Gilp and Loch Fyne. The towns of Inverary, with its famous castle and jail are well worthy of a quick stop-off, as is the fantastic oyster restaurant at Loch Fyne before you head into the Kintyre Peninsula.
Alternatively, if you are travelling via the Isle of Arran, this too is well worthy of further inspection as it is a land of contrasts, from lush green pasture to rocky interior mountains. Although, you can easily do a day-trip here too mid-way through your stay with us.
In fact, there are three other islands close by if you fancy a bit of island hopping….
Isle of Gigha - Sometimes known as 'God's Island', Gigha is reached from Killean's nearest village - the ferry port of Tayinloan, where you can take a short ferry journey to the Island. Well worthy of a day trip, Gigha boasts beautiful bays, sandy beaches, clear green seas, amazing views, lochs and hillsides and an abundance of wildlife and birdlife. There are various historic sites to visit and the glorious, well-known Achamore Gardens. These 50 acres of beautiful woodland gardens include exotic plants, a walled garden, greenhouses and Achamore House (also known as the Jewel in the Crown), and are open all year. Tel: 01583 505254. The village of Tayinloan is also home to a small shop, post office and local pub, serving good home-cooked food.
Isles of Islay and Jura – Totally stunning and famous for the whisky distilleries and red deer, these islands are suitable for an overnight stay as a day trip is not really long enough.
The Kintyre Peninsula is about 40 miles long and is almost an island, where it not for the thin strip of land attached to the mainland to the north. The coastal road runs right around the peninsula, taking in some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. The two main towns in Kintyre are the harbours of Tarbert and Campbeltown (Killean Estate is located midway between both).
Tarbert is a pretty fishing village at the mouth of Lochfyne, regarded by many as Scotland's greatest natural harbour. In days gone by, the Lochfyne fishing fleet anchored here but these days, the fishing boats are far outnumbered by yachts – indeed, the town hosts the second largest yachting regatta in the UK. The ferry to Portavadie on the Cowal Peninsula leaves from a slipway east of the village. The village is extremely beautiful and tranquil, surrounded by rocky cliffs fringed by young firs. Overlooking the harbour are the ruins of a castle built by Robert I of Scotland in 1326. Famous for its seafood, Tarbert hosts a seafood festival every year and is home to some of the best restaurants in Scotland. There are also some boutique-type shops, a small supermarket and several hotels, bars and places to eat.
Once known as the Whisky Capital of the World thanks to its 34 distilleries, the historic Royal Burgh of Campbeltown is a larger town with a decent selection of shops, two supermarkets, facilities and thanks to its wartime past, an airport! Visitor attractions include the heritage centre, leisure centre with swimming pool, tourist information centre, the famous art nouveau Wee Picture House (Scotland's oldest cinema), Linda McCartney's Memorial Garden, the Scottish Owl Centre and the Campbeltown Cross. There's also the museum, library, a whisky distillery tour is offered by Springbank and boat trips to Davaar Island operate from the port to enable viewings there of the cave painting of the Crucifixion. Again, plenty of places to eat and drink.
Castles/Historic Houses
Glenbarr Abbey is a large historic 18th Century house which is open to the public for guided tours by the laird, from Easter to mid October (closed Tuesdays). It is also home to the MacAlistair Clan Visitors Centre, offering a glimpse of family living in a beautiful 18th century house, with 19th century fashions, family jewelry, a unique thimble collection, wonderful patchworks and gloves worn by Mary Queen of Scots. Saddell is home to the ruins of a Cistercian Abbey and the 16th Century Saddell Castle, which appeared in Paul Mccartney's "Mull of Kintyre" music video. Skipness Castle is the largest surviving castle in Kintyre, dating from the early 13th Century. Unusually, the castle was built in a flat area of grazing land, inland from the shore, however, the strategic nature of the site relates to the sea routes it commands, at the entrance to Lochfyne and the Clyde to the east, and the Kilbrannan Sound and Arran to the south. The castle is now in the care of Historic Scotland.
Other 'Must-see' tourist hot-spots
• Ronachan Point 'place of the seals' - an excellent stopping place, providing observation of the basking seals and in winter, large numbers of migrating geese.
• Mull of Kintyre. Stand at the top of the cliffs, looking across the Atlantic to Ireland, barely 11 miles away and you can well understand why Sir Paul McCartney was so captivated. Brimming with an abundance of sea-life, such as seals, whales and seabirds, the area offers boat trips to Sanda Island and its bird observatory.
• Carradale, a pretty village with a harbour, golf course, tea-room and shop and heritage centre offering exhibitions. With fantastic views over to the Isle of Arran, this is a lovely place to stop for afternoon tea.

Attacking Iran is not only the function of a mindset but a moonset.
Regions / Iran
A new version of the Stuxnet worm used against Iran's centrifuge systems is in development.
The real target of the fishy Iranian "plot" could be the U.S.-Iranian relationship itself -- and that would be a sorry miscalculation.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is just another politician to whom the political is personal.
Israel's President Bibi Netanyahu and his defense minister Ehud Barak are more determined to attack Iran than ever.
Many believe that attacking Iran's nuclear facilities will only fill it with resolve to bring nuclear bombs into this world.
We know neither who pulls the nuclear strings in Iran nor whether the Revolutionary Guard is behind the assassination plot.
U.S. officials revive discredited reports that an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officer implicated in case planned the infamous 2007 Mahdi Army attack on U.S. troops in Karbala, Iraq.
One does not have to be a member of the Supreme Leader's fan club to be skeptical of the Iran assassination allegations.
Alleged would-be assassin Manssor Arbabsiar may have been more interested in cashing in on a drug deal than pulling off acts of terrorism.

'Wow. You know, most of my life I've... I've had to live with the shame of being a screw-up. But now, as I stand here with the award for the district's safest bus driver... well, it... it's like a dream come true.'
Here, the seemingly care-free Otto reveals that he has struggled with societal expectations. He considers himself a 'screw-up'.
Being recognized as Springfield's safest bus driver is not really a prestigious award, the choices being Otto or Principal Skinner in the one episode when he went nuts, but for Otto it means something. He feels as if he has found a small way to be useful to society. This helps alleviate the shame he feels for being such an under-acheiver.
Additionally, the irony here is that Otto is hardly a safe bus driver as he is always depicted driving with his headphones on.

Kimani Gray's Wake & Funeral This Weekend
Kimani Gray, the 16-year-old who's shooting death by plain clothes police officers sparked a series of protests in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, will be laid to rest this weekend.
Officers said Gray pointed a gun at them, but witnesses have offered conflicting accounts about what happened. Gray's family has continued to push for the Brooklyn District Attorney's office to conduct an independent investigation of the shooting.
Nights of protests, including some violence and arrests, followed the shooting, but family members and elected officials say they expect mourners to behave peacefully at the wake in Old Mill Basin Friday afternoon. A large police presence is expected.
The wake will take place at the Caribe funeral home, one of the largest in Brooklyn, with five chapels able to accommodate 1,000 people.
After the wake, Gray family members said they will gather at a hall to dine on home cooked Jamaican food made by the teen's aunt and uncle, and they plan to listen to music well into the evening. The funeral is scheduled for Saturday morning at 9 a.m. at St. Catherine Catholic Church in East New York. The eulogy is expected to be delivered by the boy's granduncle.
Family members say more than half of the burial costs came from donations from a local pastor, Reverend A.R. Bernard of the Christian Cultural Center in Canarsie.

Updated 8:30 p.m.
A Brooklyn NYPD detective was arrested in Queens for drunk driving early Thursday morning after he accidentally shot his partner in the wrist, officials said.
Jay Poggi, 57, who, according to police is a member of the 75th Precinct, was showing the hammer of his Smith and Wesson revolver to fellow detective, Matthew Sullivan, when the gun went off, striking his partner in the right wrist, court records said.
The detectives were supposedly on their way to conduct a robbery investigation in Far Rockaway when Poggi accidentally fired the weapon, the New York Daily News reported.
Poggi then drove their unmarked police car to Jamaica Hospital where Sullivan underwent surgery, according to the criminal complaint.
At the hospital, a responding officer noticed that the front passenger seat area of their vehicle was covered in "a significant amount of blood," court papers stated. He also said he noticed Poggi had alcohol on his breath and bloodshot eyes.
The officer then gave the detective a field sobriety test, which registered above the legal limit, at .113 percent, prosecutors said. Poggi later allegedly refused to take a Breathalyzer test at the 112th Precinct.
Poggi was arraigned Thursday in Queens Criminal Court and charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, according to prosecutors. He was released on his own recognizance and is due back in court on June 16. His driver's license has also been suspended.
The Queens District Attorney's Office said the investigation is still ongoing and is being conducted by the chief of its Integrity Bureau.

Birthday in December: Our 6 Rules for Keeping a Birthday and Christmas SeparateDevan McGuinness
It seems just like yesterday, but seven years ago, tomorrow, my first child was born.
I remember when I was pregnant, I was worried that he would be born too close to Christmas and not enjoy the holidays like I wished he could. It was a silly thing to worry about, but as a first-time mom-t0-be, it was right there in my mind.
He's not born too close to Christmas or all the other holidays. But while people are out shopping for gifts during December, decorating their house, and putting up a tree, I plan to celebrate the birthday of one of my favorite people.
It's important for my kids to have that special day for them. I do what I can to make sure their birthdays are filled with fun and of course, love. My daughters were born just a few days apart (although, different years) so we have rules for keeping their birthdays separate so they each feel special. The same is said for Speed, my 7-year-old who has to compete with Christmas. We have some house rules that are in place to make sure the holidays don't trump his special day.
Click through to read our 6 rules for keeping a birthday and Christmas separate:
Big Gift for Birthday 1 of 6It would be easier to save the bigger wish list gift for Christmas, but with Speed's birthday in December, we like to give the gift for his special day. We save early to make sure we can afford to spoil him for his birthday and Christmas.
Photo credit: photostock.
Send Out Invites Early 2 of 6December is a crazy busy month for a lot of people. Because of this we send out the birthday invites early so people can schedule ahead and make sure they can attend.
Photo credit: photostock.
Birthday Plans Trump Holiday 3 of 6Birthday plans will always come before holiday plans. We will always celebrate his birthday first before any holiday gatherings.
Photo credit: photostock.
No Christmas Decor 4 of 6We don't decorate our house at all Christmas-style until after the birthday. This means no lights on the outside of the house, too.
Photo credit: photostock.
No Holiday Wrapping Paper 5 of 6If my son is getting a birthday present, it's not to be wrapped in Christmas paper. He should have the cheesy kid-balloon style gift paper, too.
Photo credit: photostock.
No Tree Until After 6 of 6We don't get a tree until after his birthday. Many get their tree on December 1st and it helps get into the Christmas spirit, but we wait until a few days later (or put it up Christmas Eve).

(Mark Duncan/AP)When Mike Holmgren took the position as Cleveland Browns president in 2009, the hope was that he would be able to turn things around for the franchise. Unfortunately, that plan never came to fruition and Holmgren ended up leaving the team after 2012.One of the biggest decisions of Holmgren's tenure was the firing of head coach Eric Mangini, and that has inspired a bit of regret when he looks back at his tenure with the team.If Holmgren could change one thing, it would have been naming himself the head coach."I really just should have coached the team, but [former owner Randy Lerner] didn't want me to," Holmgren told TheMMQB.com."At that particular time, I wasn't ready to do it again," Holmgren added when speaking with the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I thought I'd be shortchanging the organization."MORE: 2014 NFL Mock Draft | Top QBs | Top WRs | SI64: Our definitive Big BoardEven if Holmgren would have coached the Browns, it is hard to imagine the team would have found success. During his time with the team, the Browns quarterbacks were Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace, Colt McCoy and Brandon Weeden.That's not exactly a who's who of Pro Bowl signal-callers. Now, just a few years later, the Browns have a talented defense and are perhaps just a quarterback and running back away from being potential contenders in the AFC North. Promoted Stories Comments

Ubuntu Kylin13.04
editor's review
Welcome to the Raring Ringtail edition of Ubuntu Kylin, an open source distribution of Linux specifically designed for the Chinese Linux community who love Ubuntu's modern Unity graphical desktop environment.
Distributed as Live DVDs for 64-bit and 32-bit architectures
Ubuntu Kylin 13.04 was officially announced by Canonical on April 25, 2013 and supported with security patches and software updates until January 27, 2014. It is available for download as two Live DVD ISO images that support both 64-bit and 32-bit architectures.
As expected, the boot menu is translated in Chinese and designed to allow the user to start the live environment with default options, perform a memory (RAM) test, boot an existing OS from the first disk drive, check the disc for defects (only if using a DVD media), and install the distribution without testing it (not recommended).
Beautiful Unity desktop experience only for Chinese-speaking users
The Unity desktop environment offered in this Chinese edition of Ubuntu is pretty much identical with the one used on the Ubuntu OS, comprised of a top panel for interacting with opened programs and a dock (application launcher) on the left side of the screen.
Default applications include the Brasero CD/DVD burning software, Mozilla Firefox web browser, LibreOffice office suite, Empathy instant messenger, Rhythmbox music player, Mozilla Thunderbird email and news client, SMPlayer video player, Transmission BitTorrent client, and Remmina remote desktop client.
In addition, a handful of Chinese oriented applications will make your life easier when using Ubuntu Kylin as your main operating system. Among these, we can mention Chinese Calendar, Fcitx input method switcher, Indicator China Weather, and Chinese music search scope for Unity.
Bottom line
Summing up, the first ever release of Ubuntu Kylin did not disappoint at all, providing users with an astonishing and modern operating system that includes various Chinese specific programs. Unfortunately, it is no longer supported and archived for historical purposes only.

LIN TV announced last week that retransmission negotiations with Charter Communications, the cable operator, have been "unsuccessful." As a result, the broadcast group expects Charter to discontinue carriage of its television stations when the current contract expires on June 30, 2008.
Eleven LIN TV-owned and/or operated local stations are currently carried by Charter in the following markets: Grand Rapids; Green Bay; Hartford-New Haven; Springfield, MA; Dayton; Providence and Toledo.
The company said it is in the process of seeking compensation for carriage from cable companies on terms that are comparable to those given cable networks. A Charter spokesperson said his company is actively negotiating with LIN TV and does not plan to discontinue the signals.
"This is an evolving marketplace with a lot of background noise so reaching an agreement can sometimes be difficult," said Gregory M. Schmidt, LIN TV's executive vice president for digital media. "We will continue to work hard with Charter in hopes of reaching a deal with them soon."
In the event that LIN TV's signals are pulled, viewers may continue to watch the stations through alternative means, such as an antenna or by switching to a satellite service like DIRECTV or DISH Network, LIN said. Last week LIN TV and DIRECTV announced an agreement for the retransmission of LIN TV's broadcast stations in both analog and high-definition. The deal covers television stations owned and/or operated by LIN TV in 15 markets. In March, 2008, LIN TV and the DISH Network announced a similar marketing and promotional agreement to encourage consumers to switch to the DISH Network if a LIN TV local station signal has the potential to become unavailable or is removed from a cable system.

This paper explores financial stability policies for the shadow banking system. I tie policy options to economic mechanisms for shadow banking that have been documented in the literature. I then illustrate the role of shadow bank policies using three examples: agency mortgage real estate investment trusts, leveraged lending, and captive reinsurance affiliates. For each example, the economic mechanisms are explained, the potential risks emanating from the activities are described, and policy options to mitigate such risks are listed. The overarching theme of the analysis is that any policy prescription for the shadow banking system is highly specific to the particular activity.

It's a great time to be a female comedian. With the rise of new media, women can steer their own career paths in innovative ways. The inventive, commanding, and very funny Jacqueline Novak is a shining example of this trend.
A former poet, Novak's lyrical tendencies weave throughout Quality Notions. Her voice is a brassy, lilting, cocktail that's equal parts Judy Tenuta, Amy Sedaris, and Megan Mullally, served with a twist of old-timey 1930s Gal Friday. She's meta without disrupting her conversational delivery, flirting with established gender tropes before plunging into an alternate take so original that the audience forgets gender was ever a factor to begin with. Despite her disarming use of grammatical no-nos (ain't is a favorite word), Novak's fierce intellect demands to be reckoned with, whether explaining how to eat a single slice of pizza or expressing love "the hound's way."

Weekend Listening: Treader Records
—01. A selection of releases.
Treader is a small but perfectly formed record label, run by Ashley Wales and John Coxon (of Spring Heel Jack fame). The consistent and beautiful artwork should be enough to warrant your attention, and at least have you considering a reasonably priced purchase or two. However, if you feel you need further convincing, I'd recommend listening to J Spaceman's two releases on the label: his first solo record under his own name Guitar Loops, and a collaboration with Matthew Shipp, entitled SpaceShipp. Both were the reason I discovered Treader in the first place, and I'm certainly grateful that I did.

Hi Will:
The problem with the charger should be remedied. Because the chargers
are built so compact all of the components are really close together. In
the case of your charger, a capacitor on a board was right over a hold
down bolt for one of the large coils in the charger. I have never seen
this before but some how it was arcing between the capacitor and the
bolt and caused the failure. I replace the whole capacitor board and
covered the bolts with heat shrink to prevent it from happening again. I
hope this gives you some confidence. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Harry Reid's "Shrill" Attack
10:50 AM, Sep 4, 2008 • By SAMANTHA SAULT
Sarah Palin slammed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid last night, and his press secretary http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/04/palin-attacks-shrill-and... target=_blank>responded by calling her speech "shrill and sarcastic."
The term "shrill" is a word we've heard used to describe female candidates before. During Hillary Clinton's campaign, http://mediamatters.org/items/200602140012 target=_blank>pundits everywhere called her "shrill," which united and http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/what_do_women_voters_want/ target=_blank>angered http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/08/opinion/08steinem.html?_r=2&oref=slogi... target=_blank>women across the spectrum. Margaret Thatcher was likewise criticized for her "shrill English nationalism," as one Herald writer http://www.theherald.co.uk/features/featuresopinon/display.var.2432870.0... target=_blank>put it. Now add Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to the list. As Amanda Fortini http://nymag.com/news/features/46011/ target=_blank>wrote in New York Magazine in April, "shrill" is a "criticism that is only ever made of a woman."
If the McCain campaign wants to reach out to disaffected Hillary supporters and undecided women, it seems to me that they should play up Harry Reid's attack on Palin.

On the road
I met Koji, whilst having dinner in a restaurant. We decided to do a road trip to Kamikochi and the sightseeing spots around the highlands.
Had an amazing day,the weather was playing along and travelling in a car for a change felt just like heaven :)
We finished the day off, by soaking in an outdoor hot spring. What more can you want!?! :)
Matsumotto unexpected cool
Spend around 4 nights in Matsumotta, used it as a base to do the Magome- Tsumago Trail, Kamikochi and the Wasabi farm

Somewhere Over the Ocean
Hello everyone! This is a late entry from somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. I finally got the chance to sleep! This is how it went down: Hour 3/4 I went to this bar directly across from my gate where I ordered exactly one whiskey sour. From this point, it was only a matter of time before my body went into total shut down. I made a total of 2 extra bathroom breaks and popped a Unisom before finally boarding my plane to Tokyo. My seat actually turned out to be pretty awesome; originally ...
Diamond Princess
We made it to the cruise after taking a taxi from Yokohama train station in powering rain. In fact we sheltered in the underground food cafes for a few hours first as were way to early..
This was an exercise in precise travel agent planning as the flight arrived at 6am, I knew it would be a couple of hours to the port and boarding was lunchtime. A bit risky really, I normally recommend my clients to book a nights hotel ...

As in, is it still usable? Sometimes, sure. Does it make any financial sense to recycle it? Probably not. It gets kept around for a while in case someone can use it but after that, I honestly have no idea what they end up doing with it. It might get sent off to be reconstituted somewhere.
Anyway, here's a very rough no-sew wallet prototype (a la Maxx & Unicorn):
Tried to make it taller to fit RMB. Need to adjust my pattern a bit, but it works!
I do still want to try that MA+ wallet. I've just never handled one in person so I'll probably need to either find one in a store, or do a lot of experimenting w/ paper, or both.

Footwear actually. Scraps get used for samples when possible, but obviously for production we'd need a lot more of the same leather.

ghdvfddzgzdgz has a great idea about worn jean pockets.
how about these.
a leather patch of your creation for a jean with no patch of its own.
or colorful elbow patches on a jacket.
leather edges to protect jacket pocket openings, and sleeve cuffs.
leather heel guards on trousers and jeans
coasters if your a drinker, different colors and shapes for each guest.
a pouch for your device hanging from your belt.
come on guys, more ideas.

Met Billy from cause & effects belts and purchased an awesome custom piece, which inspired me to mess around with making custom leather stuff.Billy's custom masterpiece (Click to show)
Here is my first attempt using tandy goods stuff. Dyed blue with orange acrylic paint on top. Inspired by my favorite piece of art, Rothko's #14

Belt is sick. What dye did you us for it? The belt I made from the Eco-Flo all-in-one stuff from Tandy stuff isn't waterproof in the least. I got a drop of water on it after washing my hands and the smudge still won't come off.
Also, would you recommend brushes over sponges for applying the dye? Doesn't that cause streaking?

Painted my GATs on an impulse. Didn't bother cleaning or sanding, just grabbed some cheap ass acrylic paint I had lying around and went to town, so we'll see how they wear, but I'm happy. Here they are after a day's wear:
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
In other news, I saved some leather scraps from the trash at work. What should I make with them?
Can I have some of the black leather? I want to reupholster a vintage Concor saddle!
The idea came from wanting the perfect pair of pants and the ability to have them made in any material i wanted
I started off by taking some measurements of my favourite pants (silent by Damir Doma) and tweaking some things.
I added length in the crotch, width to the thigh, less of a taper. When i had my final measurements it was time to research!
Calling and emailing some local tailors i finally decided to take the plunge and put my trust in someone that i had not worked with before. After meeting him he said he used to work and apprentice under a familiar name, my father's old tailor!! i had no doubts anymore...
We talked about details as i handed over the measurements. Specifications like darting over the back pocket, non-lined waistband (so i can wear them oversized and cinch them in comfortable), welt pockets, and of course fabric!!
The fabric is an all year wool with a slight herringbone effect. it drapes and crinkles like a fabric of this quality should. Pics show how light it is. The front is also half lined.
It took about 3 weeks and the pants were done. When I showed up he asked what type of button I'd like for the waistband. I chose MOP and he stitched it on within the minute.
Despite being seen as wool dress pants, they are very versatile. I wear these with sneakers and boots.
Very happy with the outcome.

Long Stay Visa/France
My husband and I are planning to move to Paris in 2013. I have the list of 14 requirements necessary to obtain a Long Stay Visa. We are US citizens. Since we live in the Seattle, WA area, obtaining this Long Stay Visa requires us to make a personal appearance at the Consulate General of France in San Francisco with the 14 items (plus photo copies.) I have had much conflicting advice on the need to go through this process but admit that the advice has not come from folks who have lived longer than 90 days in France, since the 1st of June 2009(when this long term Visa became available.) Most travelers tell me not to bother getting the Long Stay Visa-they say just go there, find a place to live and leave the country after 90 days if we have to. Advice? One of the 14 requirements for the Long Term Visa is to have proof of accommodation in France (title deeds, lease or rental agreement.) Can we use a hotel address to meet his requirement? We don't know where we want to live until after we get there? Thanks for any help/advice

We apologise for the gremlins affecting our website! Please use Google Chrome web-browser to view our Lost and Found pages, and Available to Adopt pages. We are working to fix this as soon as possible. Alternatively, you are welcome to call the shelter or drop in to meet the animals in person. – SDCH team
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home prides itself on giving Sydney's lost and abandoned animals a second chance at life.
When you make the decision to bring a pet into your home it can be a very exciting time, and you will be rewarded with unconditional love, and a lifetime friend.
Deciding to give a rescue animal a forever home will be a decision you wont regret, knowing that you are giving lifelong happiness to a lost or unwanted pet can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Through our in-depth matching process, our trained staff can ensure that the animal you choose will fit in with your family and lifestyle perfectly.
There are many reasons why an animal may come into our care. They may be lost or abandoned, and in some cases we recieve surrendered animals if the owners can no longer look after them. Lost animals are held for either 7 or 14 days, depending on whether or not they are microchipped; this allows us time to try to track down the owner and reunite them with their pet. Unfortunately, through no fault of their own, many animals are never reclaimed,
This is where our real task begins – these animals are given a second chance from the second they become available for adoption.
At Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, we pride ourselves on conducting responsible rehoming and promoting conscientious pet ownership. We endeavor to build a clear profile of the home best suited to each animal, and every dog is given a formal behavioural assessment.
Our goal is prevent the unnecessary euthanasia of healthy, loving, domestic pets, young or old or with special needs, by rehoming them and giving them a second chance at life.
While our animals patiently wait for their forever homes, we feed and recommend Hill's Science Diet and Hill's Prescription Diet. They are given the love and attention they deserve by our dedicated team of staff and volunteers. Each receives a medical assessment and care from our Shelter Veterinarian and CEO, Dr Christine Cole.
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home charges an adoption fee for our animals. While this fee doesn't cover the cost of our operations, it does help with the cost of caring for each animal while they are with us. An adoption fee also deters irresponsible pet ownership.
Included in the adoption fee is desexing, microchipping, vaccination, flea and worm control and a vet health check. Our animals benefit from the highly nutritious diet of Hill's Science Diet while in our care, and receive at least 2 walks per day, with socialization and play time in between. All dogs are temperament tested before rehoming, which helps to ensure adopters choose the right animal for their lifestyle…and vice-versa!
Dogs and Cats
The adoption fee for adult dogs is $365 and for adult cats is $215. Adoption fees may be greater for puppies or special cases that have received special treatment.
It is a requirement by Council that each animal that leaves our facility will has lifetime Council registration. This requirement is processed on adoption day by our staff and is $52 per animal.*
*Pensioners receive a council subsidy which reduces registration costs to $21 on presentation of their current pension card.
All ages given for our animals are approximate, and are based on the assessed age during their medical check. The breed and temperament described for each animal is determined by our experienced staff members at the time of assessment.

Please note that sometimes dogs and cats can be adopted before we get a chance to put them on our website's adoption page. If you are looking for that special pet, we recommend that you come in and visit the Home regularly. Alternatively, contact our office and speak with our friendly staff on 02 9587 9611 who can give advice on our current residents and any who might fit your lifestyle and home.
Pocket Pets
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home does not refuse any animal that comes in from our council areas via our rangers. This includes; birds, rabbits, guinea pigs and other pocket pets. These pets are a popular choice in inner Sydney, and make a great addition to families..
To see our latest pocket pets available for adoption click here
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home is open 7 days a week and our viewing times are as follows:
Monday to Friday 9:30am – 4.00pm
Saturday 9:30am – 3:30pm
Sundays and Public Holidays 9:30am – 2:00pm
Closed to the public on Christmas Day
To ensure you have plenty of time to see and speak with our staff about animals available for adoption, we would suggest come in at least an hour before the end of viewing.
