Yahoo using online
behavior to target ads from Reuters covers briefly the "new, new thing"
according to Yahoo executive vice president Greg Coleman where Yahoo banner ads
are targeted based on search behavior and other activities.
I guess it depends on how you define new. As even Coleman says, Yahoo's had
variations on this for some time, literally years. But the latest rev of Yahoo
Impulse that he's talking about has been running since at least June of this
See Yahoo

FYI, our
Targeting Search Ads By Demographics & Behavior session at Search Engine
Strategies next week will cover the Yahoo program. Yahoo couldn't get someone
for that particular panel, but search marketer Dana Todd knows it well and will
give a "from the trenches" presentation.
MSN and AlmondNet will also be discussing the demographic and behavioral
targeting systems they have, with search marketers Danielle Leitch and Kevin Lee
providing their perspectives on such programs.

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
I created a New Products page and I used the WooCommerce shortcode: [recent_products per_page="12″ columns="4″ orderby="date" order="desc"]. When the page is displayed, bullets show. How do I get rid of these?
Here's the page link: http://featherfactorycanada.com/new-feathers
Thank you
I added the following CSS to fix the WooCommerce shortcode bullet list issue, however, I think there has to be a better solution to fix this problem.
.products ul, ul.products li {
list-style: none outside none !important;
margin: 0 0 14px;
padding: 0;
I'd use the code above to fix this issue. You can try to make it more specific – eg with ul.products li.product so that it doesn't effect lists inside the product text.
Best regards,
Hi Dude,
That worked! Thank you for all of your help.

AbstractThere exists a need for near-real time detection and location of small quantities of waterborne biological agents by the warfighter. Since surface water is the primary water source for field soldiers, there is a critical need to determine the extent of potability. The objective of the proposed work is to design and build a small, low cost, highly selective, immunoassay based optical sensor/communication module that can be taken into the field by soldiers to wirelessly monitor streams and effluents for the detection of biological agents. This (Module) will include signal-conditioning circuitry and a radio frequency (RF) transmitter subsection. The signal conditioning subsection will process the raw signals from the sensor subsection and the RF section will transmit a device ID number together with an alarm indication. A soldier, using a handheld reader developed for the purpose, will be able to determine if modules are within communication range and whether any indicate an alarm condition. Work will concentrate on defining: application requirements, optimum target proteins, antibodies, and probes, the support/antibody preparation (membrane) techniques, the optimum packaging/integration strategy, and the means of signal dispersal, communication, and recognition. The work will be performed through a partnership between Sporian Microsystems and Phase IV Engineering.

45 Degree Razor Blade Plane
by jam4ar, published
Thing Apps Enabled
Thing Info
I made this to allow me to cut 45 degree angles on the edge of foamboard.
- Insert Razor
- Mind your fingers
- Cut things
This first version doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. I think angling the blade parallel to the cut will help it make smoother cuts. As it is, it binds and sort of "chews" through foam rather than making a clean cut.

What it is, is an "art film". The shots, the set design, the concept are very artistic, and as such it is a gem of movie, within that very narrow spectrum of "art films" that have happened rarely throughout film history.
Harrison's soundtrack is WAY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME! Only now can someone like me appreciate it for the first time, having just seen the movie for the first time, 46 years after it was created! Wow. Think about that! A movie that is not appreciated, even by a Beatles fan, a George fan, until 46 years later. Truly a movie and soundtrack that were way ahead of their time.
Now, is this a great movie? No.
But it is a very interesting cinematic experiment which led to the creation of a truly great soundtrack by Beatle George Harrison!
I did actually find the movie very visually interesting. Jane Birkin of course has her own appeal, but aside from her the movie is still very visually exciting and interesting.
I am surprised and disappointed that this movie has only 6 reviews including mine. What a shame! Harrison is still so under-appreciated! While I used to be a Lennon fan above all the others, now it is George who I am fascinated and delighted by.
Much to the bemusement of any of us who either came of age or was in his or her Twenties at the time, this bauble from the 1960s is as dated as similar baubles from the 1920s or 30s. Yeah, we really did age, by gum! So viewing it very quickly breaks down into what "holds up" and what doesn't, and the latter category has the edge. The first positive quality is the gently comic performance of the late Jack MacGowran as the eccentric Professor Collins, who discovers the world of "Swinging London" through a peephole from his shabby apartment into the apartment next door. It's a stretch to call his role sheer comic brilliance, but MacGowran has a certain Chaplin/Buster Keaton-like quality as this weird nebbish mesmerized by his sexy, exotic neighbors, and that helps keep things on track. The second plus is George Harrison's score, a mishmash of traditional Indian classical music, psychedelic head music and traditional movie soundtrack bathos. This score was Apple Records' first release by a solo Beatle and on its own merits it still holds up as great late night listening that you don't have to addle your brain chemistry to like. Finally, the current HD transfer of this movie is superb and almost makes the movie look like it was shot at least in the late 80s. Rarely have transfers of older films worked so well as this does.
The negatives are the standard-issue when looking at much of late-Sixties popular culture through today's lens. The women characters are there for decoration and nothing more, the hip dialogue is so dated you want to scream, and the story.......what story?? This is not deathless art, it's ancient art, and you expect more from it at your own peril.Read more ›

Rdio gets iPhone application
Rdio, the music streaming service from Skype/Kazaa founders Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom, has launched an iPhone app, despite still being in very private stealth beta.
The description on the app store reads: "Rdio is like carrying a giant MP3 player in your pocket – you have unlimited and unrestricted access to all the music, and you get to select exactly the song, album or artist you want to hear.
"And you can skip, pause fast forward as much as you want. Build your collection and compose your playlists on rdio.com and listen to them all on the go. Or search for just the right song when you're out and it will start playing instantly".
The app is free to download, and from the description it sounds like it could well be troubling the likes of Spotify and Napster in 2010. We'll bring you more when we hear it.

Someone walking by the Ale House Pub at 2122 Mildred Street West noticed smoke pouring from the restaurant and called 911, said Hallie McCurdy with West Pierce Fire and Rescue.
Firefighters arrived to find flames in the kitchen, spreading into the attic. They were able to quickly knock down the flames and prevent them from spreading through the rest of the restaurant. No one was hurt.
Investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire. There's no word yet then the pub will reopen for business.

This hotel was chosen really due to it's reviews on here and fact that it was listed as a boutique hotel. Arrived here from San Jose around midday so as we were unable to check in we headed out to San Fran. The girl on reception was helpful without being impressive and the car we had was dealt with by the valet guy straight away.
When we returned at around 2am after a long, long day seeing San Fan we finally got to the the room. It was exactly as expected in that the decor was simple in a boutique style. Unfortunately the fire place that we had paid extra for didn't work and the room was freezing. The guy in reception at this time came up to try and sort it out but he was unsure what he was doing so given that we were taking about gas(!) we decided to leave it till the next day.
He headed to reception the following morning to sort it out and also express the fact that we were p!ssed off that we'd paid extra for this feature room and the 'feature' didn't work....no surprise when she just stared at us with relatively vacant expression. At which point we realised that this was beyond her thinking capacity.
The maintenance guy came up later on a sorted it out and it was worth getting sorted as it made the room after a long day pounding the streets.
Breakfast was good, pretty simple, continental, but enough to get you're fill for the day.
Finally, for some reason, everything for this hotel is dealt with next door at the the white swan, which is a bit inconvenient but not the end of the world.
Over all a decent stay, not really impressed by the staff but the hotel is nice and worth a look in at the right price.

The BirdLife Africa Partnership is participating at the African Ministerial Conference on Environment (AMCEN) meeting currently underway in Arusha, Tanzania. The 14th meeting taking place from 10th-14th September 2012 brings together experts and environment ministers from across the continent to discuss environment and development matters. Bird Life is represented by Mr. Reuben Ottou, the CEO of Ghana Wildlife Society (GWS-BirdLife in Ghana), Ms. Ariane Ntamubano of Association Burundaise pour la Protection des Oiseaux (ABO –BirdLife in Burundi) and Ken Mwathe of the BirdLife Africa Partnership Secretariat. "AMCEN is an important gathering; we have an opportunity to have our voices heard on crucial matters like climate change, biodiversity conservation and how Africa intends to move forward following the outcomes of Rio+20 conference", said Mr Reuben Ottou. "We are here to ensure that the importance of ecosystems and species are fully recognised in Africa's quest to achieve sustainable development" This AMCEN meeting comes a few months to two important global meetings, the 11th meeting of Convention of Biological Diversity and 18th meeting of Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC). It also comes a few months after the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) held in Brazil recently. African ministers who will have their High Level Segment from 12th-14th in Arusha will adopt key positions on some of these issues. "As Africa considers its Post-2015 development agenda, it has a chance to ensure appropriate policies are adopted globally to provide better livelihoods opportunities for its people. However, this must not be at the expense of natural places and species", said Mr Ken Mwathe.

A script I'm building needs to look at and fiddlle with nearly every node in the document's body. To make it run as fast as possible, the switch/case statement (that decides what to do based on what kind of node it is) needs to be in the optimum order - common to rare.
For example: I don't care about #comment nodes. Are they common enough that a case '#comment': break; will save time? Or are they uncommon enough that it'll be faster to let them fall out the bottom of the switch (despite having to checked them against more case statements)?
Does anyone know where I can find (or how can I generate) statistics on the relative frequency of nodes? I can examine pages myself one at a time (I have a bookmarklet that pops up a window with how many of each node type), but it would be too tedious to manually examine enough pages for good stats on the rarer tags.

Troubled Battery Maker A123 Unveils 'Breakthrough' New Lithium Ion Technology
by Max Frankel
A123 Systems, the troubled Massachusetts-based battery maker, is banking on a new lithium ion battery technology to boost its prospects. To date, A123 may be best known for a costly recall of a product earlier this year and its precipitous decline in value on the stock market
The company is calling the lithium ion battery, named the Nanophosphate EXT, a "game-changing breakthrough" for energy storage.
"By delivering high power, energy and cycle life capabilities over a wider temperature range, we believe Nanophosphate EXT can reduce or even eliminate the need for costly thermal management systems," said David Vieau, CEO of A123 Systems, in a statement today.
A123 has faced increased scrutiny and skepticism in the wake of its battery recall earlier this year. The company was set to receive $249 million in government financing to build a new factory in Livonia, Michigan, but has only received about half of that money after failing to reach production targets. The factory sits largely unfinished and the company was recently forced to reduce the number of workers there. A123 has reported loses every year since 2005, including $125 million in losses for the first quarter of this year in the wake of the recall.
Despite all of its financial trouble, the U.S. government has remained cautiously confident in A123 because of its engineering acumen. With the exception of the recent defective batteries, A123 has remained on the cutting edge of lithium ion battery technology, and the Nanophosphate EXT is the latest example.
Though the specifics of the new Nanophosphate EXT battery are proprietary, A123 has suggested that the battery's electrodes (anode and cathode) and electrolyte have been redesigned.
Though lithium ion batteries are relatively light weight, many are needed to power a vehicle. This takes up a lot of space, adds weight, and reduces the efficiency (and therefore range) of the car. According to A123, the Nanophosphate EXT packs between 20% and 30% more power than traditional lithium ion batteries. If true, this has the potential to substantially reduce the number of batteries required in hybrids and plug-in electric vehicles, thus boosting performance.
Another major problem with current lithium ion battery technology is temperature restriction. In cold temperatures, a battery's power is dramatically reduced; in hot climates, the life of the battery is severely depleted. To counter this problem, expensive and heavy climate control systems are needed in the battery casings of electric cars.
Moreover, the cars really work best only in specific conditions. Take the Nissan Leaf, the first commercial plugin electric introduced in the United States: It has a range of about 77 miles and the EPA rates its fuel efficiency at the equivalent of about 99 miles per gallon. But the Leaf works best at between 68 and 73 degree Fahrenheit. Extreme temperatures either one way or the other can cut its range substantially.
A123 Systems claims that its Nanophosphate EXT technology solves the temperature problem. The company says that the new battery no longer needs the heating and cooling systems and is immune to the effects of extreme temperatures. This could have a huge practical impact. In addition to increasing the efficiency and range of electric vehicles — and therefore their practicality and commercial appeal — the new battery could make electric cars viable in a broader range of markets.
If the technology performs as claimed, the Nanophosphate EXT could also reduce costs. As it stands, the battery packs of hybrid electric or electric cars are expensive and need to be replaced every 100,000 miles or so. According to A123, the Nanophosphate EXT lasts 2-3 times as long as traditional lithium ion batteries — eliminating the need for after-market battery replacements.
Already, the Nanophosphate EXT is scheduled for use in the Chevy Spark, an all-electric city car due out in 2013.
Between the power boost, the temperature flexibility, and the cost reductions, this new battery technology has the potential to boost the electric car market and get us closer to President Obama's goal of 1 million such cars on the road by 2015.

We can all hope that this is as good as it sounds — and that A123 thrives.
Regardless, I still predict that the big near-term drivers to clean energy will be:
1 — electrifying transportation;
2 — PV, especially roof top PV.
A123 has a good track record with batteries going into construction tools. Hopefully the new auto battery design attracts long-term investors and helps keep their production line running.
Just a nit: The LEAF's range is not substantially hurt by higher temperatures, though its battery pack will degrade faster (meaning shorter life for it) at higher temps. This the norm for most battery chemistries and not particular to the LEAF.

|Reviews for Threads
| Bee chapter 20 . 12/8/2014
I just have to say that I've read this entire fan fiction multiple times. I think you wrote this so beautifully. Great job! Thanks so much for sharing, I love it!
| Catt42 chapter 20 . 12/12/2012
This story made me so sad for about 19 chapters.. but the ending was so worth it
| lastofthecrimelords chapter 1 . 5/30/2012
I first read "Threads" two years ago, sitting in a tiny cottage in the middle of nowhere, at eleven at night, with no Internet, no heat, no light, no food and the biggest storm since Noah's Ark raging right outside my window.
I had come there for a holiday with my parents; they had gone out that night for a party and to stay with some friends. Shortly after they left, there was a power cut. I couldn't sleep, had just clicked on to the first chapter of Threads and been hooked, and was furious that I would have to sit through the rest of the night with nothing to read (as I didn't have a book on me and the 'net was down). So I thought for a minute, and decided to try picking up a signal by taking my laptop down to the end of the field, as there were some phone wires near there and the signal was usually better than in the cottage. And so, dressed in pyjamas, slippers and with a laptop tucked inside my shirt, I waded down to the end of a field with mud that reached almost up to my knees, and squatted next to the wires in the midst of a torrential rainstorm, attempting to get a connection.
That is the power your story had on me. After ONE CHAPTER.
I eventually managed to pick up a one-bar signal. I quickly loaded every chapter of Threads, each one on a separate tab, and made my way back up to the cottage. After showering to get rid of the mud, I sat next to the Aga in the kitchen the only place it was vaguely warm wrapped myself in a duvet and read Threads by the light of the screen with a tube of Pringles sitting next to me. It occupied me for the rest of the night (well, until about five in the morning) and I got through two tubes of Pringles, a tub of ice cream and six slices of bread with jam. Threads was the only thing that kept me from going insane. My bedroom was WAY too cold to sleep in and there was a leak in the ceiling, so all I could do was sit in a dark kitchen and allow myself to be completely and utterly dragged in by your astonishing story.
It's weird how much more powerful emotions can be in situations like this. I cried quite a few times (although admittedly this might have been due to my cold, exhaustion and frustration more than anything else) and let me tell you, crying on your own in the dark with no one around for miles all because of a fanfiction is a pretty ridiculous predicament to be in. And it just shows the power of the fanfiction. No other story has affected me like this one, and by the time I reached the end, I was so wrung out that I lay down on the kitchen floor and went straight to sleep, surrounded by empty crisp packets. I had a terrible night's sleep but my god, was it worth it.
So that's the story. Me and Threads have a connection now, and it's become one of those stories I can never actually read again because it would destroy the memories I have of it. It's like one of those songs that you can't listen to too often in case you get bored of it. It's too good to be anything more than a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
You probably won't even read this review, seeing as the story's quite a few years old. But still. Thought I should get that out there. You're amazing. I wish you a long and happy writing career.
Muchos Love.
Alice xx

Top 10 Tuesdays: Songs that Are Stories
Okay, I'll admit it. . . most of the songs I like are already stories in a 2-5 minute time period. And while it is impossible to pick my top 10 favorites, I'm going to give it my best try.
10. "Fifteen" – Taylor Swift
"Fifteen" (from the Fearless album) is the story about two girls in their first year of high school. It takes us through a journey of first meetings, first crushes, the first time (and the devastating consequences of it) and not knowing who you are at such a young and tender age.
Favorite Lyrics: Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday/but I realized some bigger dreams of mine/And Abigail gave it all away to a boy who changed his mind/and we both cried
09. "I'd Give It All For You" – Songs From A New World
This song tells a story about two (nameless) people meeting after being separated for a long time. We don't find out why exactly they broke up. . . but we find out that they hated being apart and they'd give up their new found freedom to be with each other again.
Favorite lyrics: I took a trip while I was gone/I cashed in all my savings and bought an El Dorado and drove to Tennessee
08. "I Don't Wanna See You With Her" – Marina Mena
Marina is singing to her ex-boyfriend, who found a new girlfriend. They live in a small town, so avoiding them is impossible and even though she's happy for him, she prefers not to see he moved on. Even though she's the one who broke up with him. She knows it'll break her, seeing him with somebody else.
Favorite lyrics: I just don't want to meet her, are you gonna keep her?
07. "Ironic" – Alanis Morissette
Each line tells the story of somebody being touched by irony. A 98-year-old man who won the lottery just to die 24 hours later, a man who was afraid to fly/had never done so only to die in a plane crash when he took his first flight for his business trip. It's about meeting the man of your dreams just to find out he's already married. Or a black fly in your wine or rain on your wedding day. . .
Favorite lyrics: A no smoking sign on your cigarette break/it's like ten-thousand spoons when all you need is a knife/ it's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife
06. "Atlas: Taste" – Sleeping At Last
Ryan is currently taking us on a tour of the senses with his newest batch of songs from Atlas Year 2. "Taste" follows closely at the heels of "Touch". . . where "Touch was about being numbed to life, "Taste" was his awakening. A sequel to "Touch" so to speak. The singer realizes life is beautiful and he's not afraid.
Favorite lyrics: We're nothing less than a work in progress/sacred text on Post-It notes/We only speak of a world in pieces
05. "Starlight" – Taylor Swift
People overlook the fact that sometimes Taylor writes songs about other things than the boys who broke her heart. This is one of those examples. Starlight is a sort of fictional account about how Bobby and Ethel Kennedy met and fell in love in the summer of '45.(Actually, they met on a ski trip in '46. . .) But still, it's a sweet song about true love that transcends the test of time.
Favorite lyrics: he's talking crazy, dancing with me/we could get married/have ten kids and teach them how to dream
04. "She Used To Be Mine" – Sara Bareilles (Waitress)
The singer in this song is reflecting on the girl she used to be before she got married to an abusive man, got pregnant by him and got a job waiting tables. She wishes she could go back and tell her old self to do it over, to try and rewrite her ending.
Favorite lyrics: She's imperfect but she tries/she is good but she lies/she is hard on herself/she is broken and won't ask for help/she is messy but she's kind/she is lonely most of the time/she is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie/she is gone but she used to be mine
03. "Unbreakable" – Jamie Scott
If the music video is anything to go by, this is a story about a girl who lost her mother and moved in with her grandfather. Or maybe it's a story about a boy who loves a girl who is unlovable because he knows the truth. Everybody deserves to be loved.
Favorite lyrics: She's the girl that I never had/she's the heart that I wanted bad/the song I heard on the radio that made me stop and think of her/and I can't, I can't concentrate anymore
02. "Papa Can You Hear Me?" – Barbra Streisand
It's a song about a girl having a conversation with her Heavenly Father/father. She's lost and confused and all alone and it has some of the most vivid word imagery EVER!
Favorite lyrics: Can you hear me praying? Anything I'm saying even though the night is filled with voices
01. "Atlas Year 2: Life" – Sleeping At Last
The first song from Sleeping At Last's Atlas Year 2 album, it tells the true life account of his first daughter being born last year. Beginning with the words his wife woke him up with: "I think it's time". It's a beautiful ode to first children being born and how none of your lives. . . the parents or the baby's life will never be the same again.
Favorite lyrics: we were changed in an instant/we became so much more/our definition of perfect was written when you were born/there is so much to tell you/there is so much to see/we will show you the oceans and everything in between
top ten mentions:
"Before the Parade Passes By" – Barbra Streisand
I want to feel my heart coming alive again before the parade passes by
"Touch" – Sleeping At Last
down my arms a thousand satellites suddenly discover signs of life
The whole entire 1989 album.
"True Love" – Tobias Jesso Jr.
and she waits through everything, anything for you, it's what you call true love
"Samson" – Regina Spektor
Your hair was long when we first met, Samson went back to bed not much hair left on his head
"Days & Days" – Judy Kuhn
Days and days and days made of posing and bragging and fits of rage
"Burn" – Phillipa Soo
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
"Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" – Hamilton
Every other founding father's story gets told, every other founding father gets to grow old
"Cecilia & the Satellite" – Andrew McMahon & the Wilderness
Of all the places I have been, I'm no place without you
"Wasn't Expecting That" – Jamie Lawson
It was only a smile but my heart it went wild, I wasn't expecting that
Top Ten Favorite Screen Characters
10. Iron Man
Because out of all the Avengers, he has the most character growth. By the end of the third one, he is taking serious steps to be his best self. Will this last? The Avengers 2 is coming out this spring, so we will see.
Favorite Quote: My armor was never a distraction or a hobby, it was a cocoon, and now I'm a changed man. You can take away my house, all my tricks and toys, but one thing you can't take away – I am Iron Man.
9. Cory Matthews (Boy Meets Word/Girl Meets World)
There is little to DISLIKE about Cory Matthews. He has an unfaltering belief in God, in family, in his friends and that true love lasts forever. Never does he breathe a discouraging word, never is he hateful or unloving to anybody he meets. He is always respectful to authority figures and holds his father, mother and teacher, Mr. Feeny in the highest regard. And he never hesitates to do the right thing, even if it is the unpopular choice. I think if we had more Cory Matthews in real life, the world would be a brighter place.
Favorite Quote: I believe in love like I believe in God: You can't touch it, you can't see it, but you can feel its wrath.
8. Sherlock Holmes (Elementary)
He's a different kind of Sherlock than the other ones I watch. A little more down-trodden by the world, a little more bruised. He has his vices and he's beaten them. He's loved and lost and learned to love again against all odds. He's faced the dangers of falling into old habits and won the battle. He takes care of bees and wears funky socks, and when he lets somebody in, you can tell that he genuinely cares about them even if he is not that great at showing it. You are rooting for him to be the best man he can be. And ever since Joan Watson has come into his life, you can see the amazing changes he has made.
Favorite Quote: When I look back at the last 18 months I often categorize it as a grand experiment. The results which has demonstrated to me, much to my surpass, that I am capable can change. So, I will change… For you. For the sake of our partnership. For the sake of our work. Stay.
7. Joan Watson (Elementary)
Portrayed by the gorgeous Lucy Liu, she is making TV history by playing the first female Watson EVER. She doesn't put up with any of Sherlock's nonsense and has no qualms with putting him in place when he oversteps his boundaries. In the case of any great male-female relationship, she saves him from himself and he in turn shows her the kind of life she wants to live.
Favorite Quote: You have this kind of pull, like gravity. I am so lucky that I fell into your orbit.
6. Rose Morgan (the Mirror Has Two Faces)
Played by one of my favorites, Barbra Streisand, Rose is a single, middle-aged professor at a prestigious college. All of that changes when her younger sister answers an ad in her name. She meets and marries the handsome, middle-aged math professor, Gregory Larkin (Jeff Bridges). Their marriage is a unconventional one, born out of their friendship and mutual respect for each other. By the end of the movie, she has Gregory wrapped around her little finger and they get their happily ever after. Note, out of all the characters on this list, I relate to her the most from the way I feel about makeup to hiding my snacks all over the house to the way I feel about true love.
Favorite Quote (when Gregory asks her why she doesn't wear makeup): What's the point? I'd still look like me, only in color.
5. Kathleen Kelly (You've Got Mail)
I love everything about Kathleen. There is no need to get into a lengthy description why.
Favorite Quote: People are always telling you that change is a good thing. But all they're really saying is that something you didn't want to happen at all… has happened. My store is closing this week. I own a store, did I ever tell you that? It's a lovely store, and in a week it will be something really depressing, like a Baby Gap. Soon, it'll just be a memory. In fact, someone, some foolish person, will probably think it's a tribute to this city, the way it keeps changing on you, the way you can never count on it, or something. I know because that's the sort of thing I'm always saying. But the truth is… I'm heartbroken. I feel as if a part of me has died, and my mother has died all over again, and no one can ever make it right.
4. Holly Golightly (Breakfast At Tiffany's)
I think the young adult author, John Green, can best describe her "I was drizzle and she was a hurricane". That sums her up exactly, Holly is a force to be reckoned with, she is larger than life but she is still a little girl in many ways. I love watching her onscreen growth from that of a scared little girl to one who is ready to face the things she is afraid of. And you can't forget her amazing wardrobe.
Favorite Quote: A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick.
3. Lady Thiang (the King & I)
Ever since I was a little girl, I have LOVED the character of the King's head wife. Ever since I was seven, I always thought that she really loved him despite his faults and that she was the one person who really knew the man behind the throne. I know now that the King & I is really a love story about Ana and the King, but I will never relinquish my belief that she loved him. That she was the only people who knew how to love him.
Favorite Quote: No quote, just the song Something Wonderful.
2. Patrick Jane (the Mentalist)
From the second I started to watch this show, I was drawn to this beautifully tragic man. I have probably gotten to know him better than any fictional character on this list (aside from my number one pick, Teresa Lisbon). For six whole seasons, I rooted for this man to find the peace he was so desperately looking for, to catch the man who had killed his first wife and daughter and to find a second chance at true love. In season 6, he found all three. This season is him accepting that he deserves all the things he has gotten.
Favorite Quote: You're right. I have forgotten how to act like a normal human being. And I play games and I lie and I trick people to avoid the truth of how I feel. And the idea of letting anyone close to me is terrifying for obvious reasons, but the truth, Teresa, is that I can't imagine waking up, knowing that I won't see you. The truth is… I love you. Whew! You can't imagine how good it feels to say that out loud, but it scares me… and it is the truth. It is the truth of what I feel.
1. Teresa Lisbon (the Mentalist)
Patrick Jane would not be the same person he is without THIS woman here. She took him in when he was at the lowest point in his life and told him to shape up. She sympathized with him but didn't pity him and she proved to be the exact kind of cure he needed. I watched for seven breathless seasons as she fought with him and was his friend and flirted with him and fell in love with him and made him love her back. She was just as tragic and broken as him and together, they have found a completeness that Robin Tunney describes perfectly as what "she deserves but didn't know she wanted."
Favorite Quote: I love you. I said it.

Dear Santa Claus,
Everybody is asking me what I want for Christmas. But what I really want this year cannot be found at Forever 21 or the Apple store. It cannot be paid for with credit cards, cash or a check. You cannot wrap it in shiny paper and line it up along side all the other pretty packages that will be under the tree.
It isn't possible.
Santa Claus, what I really want this year is for there to be peace in the house.
For the violence to stop in the world. For justice to be served when justice deserves to be served.
For my sister to be happy. For my other sister to be whole and well again.
I want somebody to see me and only me and to gift me his favorite songs and to want to spend the rest of his life with me with a couple of dogs and maybe a kid. I want somebody to look at me the way my sisters boyfriends look at them. I want coffee kisses in the morning and slow dances around the kitchen at night. I want an imperfect prince charming. I want to give my healing heart to somebody who will keep it safe for me this time around. I want arguments and make ups and movie marathons. I want somebody who will get me and see all of me and love even my ugly parts. I want long conversations that do not take place in my dreams anymore. I do not want to be alone among a group of people anymore.
I'm waiting patiently Santa.
the boy you never forget, the summer it all begins
His name was David and I had known him ever since I was 14-almost-15. He had introduced himself to me in Sunday school, I was the new girl in town. . . . totally awkward and out of my element. He was one of the only people who attempted to be my friend, he spent three years talking to me and asking me how I was every Sunday, every single time we ran into each other. I developed a huge crush on another boy and David and I remained strictly friends. I was easy around him, comfortable. I couldn't even fathom having a crush on him never mind falling in love with him.
And then in 2008 that fateful summer happened, the summer where it all began. He became the boy I would never forget. By then, he was 20 and I was 18, I was even more awkward and gawky than when we had first met. I had just graduated from high school, but I was wearing braces and I was all limbs. The chest that everybody said would come in by then still remained as flat as a board. Despite my lack of womanly physical changes, my heart and mind were starting to wake up and the boy I couldn't even fathom having a crush on suddenly became very appealing as a man.
I fell in love with him that summer.
To this day I still don't know how it happened. I have tried to figure it out, but looking back I cannot pinpoint the exact moment I knew. It was like I had loved him forever and I just hadn't realized it because the friendship had been that good.
The first day he came back from college and started to help our youth leader out with our youth group, he singled me out and we spent 3 fabulous months doing every single church related activity together. We sat on the same couch every Sunday for Sunday school, we ate Wednesday night dinner together before prayer meeting began, during VBS he helped me tame the unruly bunch of 5-year-olds I had been assigned. On a mission trip, we built flower boxes together from scratch and planted flowers in them, being careful not to let our fingers accidentally touch while we patted down the soil. He gave me light blue Gatorade and spent hours giving me music and movie suggestions. He even lent me his absolute favorite movie in the world. When we went on our yearly youth trip, he sat with me every single night during dinner and we shared sweet tea from the same cup and at the end of the week, we were both sick with the same illness. The first day we were there, I got up early to eat breakfast. I brought my book because I was going all by myself and wound up running into him, we wound up meeting every morning for an early breakfast. I never finished that book I brought. Not that week anyways.
2008 is littered with memories like that. By September, I was deeply in love with him. It had gotten to the point where I could see myself spending forever with him even though we hadn't even been on a real date yet. But I was certain it would happen, he was still hanging around because he was studying abroad and he didn't have to leave until the beginning of October. He never asked me out, even though he was always telling me how nice I looked and talking to me every week and teasing me about reading chick lit.
I thought it was because he was still in school because he was going to go to seminary the next year and he was smart. It never happened though. He never asked me out, we never got together together. He's engaged to somebody else now and I am trying to recover from half-a-decade of waiting for him to come back and pick me.
But even though it's over between us, even though it never actually began between us I know that he loved me too for a few brief moments in time.
And I never will forget him or that summer I fell in love with him.
I Believe. . .
I believe in fairy tales and in true love and that eventually, love will win out in the end no matter what. I believe in wishing on shooting stars and dandelion dust. I believe in Christmas and that you can fall in love again even after you've lost it to the worst of circumstances. I believe in second chances and that music really does heal, that just hugging is a powerful thing, that sometimes crying is the best therapy, that laughter is the best medicine. I believe that Anne Frank was right. . . in spite of everything, people really are good at heart. I believe that people do have an effect on us, even after they are gone. Especially after they're gone. I believe in family, in sisterhood, in the bra code, in best friends. That fictional characters become part of our lives just for a little bit, that for a short amount of time they are our friends and that in the pages of a book, in the scenes of a movie or a television show there are lessons to be learned. I believe in superheros, I believe that we need them in our lives because they symbolize hope. I believe in Narnia and in Neverland. I believe in good coffee, in glitter, that sometimes a Starbucks barista does more than just make your coffee. I believe in bare feet and high heels and painted toenails. I believe that everybody is beautiful in their own way, that every girl is a princess. . . it is their right. I believe that one day there will be peace on earth, that everything has a purpose under the sun and that God is real.
I especially believe that God is real.
The City – Drabble
The streets were filled with the sounds of a jazzy saxophone and flip-flops hitting cobblestone, the air heavy with southern warmness and numerous restaurants preparing dinner for the 5 to 10 crowd. People were cheering for the soccer teams at sports bars, sweating glasses of beer were in front of them, mixing with the smells of French fries and cheeseburgers. The couple in front of her were dressed up for a night out. . . the girl's tattoo looked out of place with her high heels and little black dress.
She smiled to herself. She loved the city, it filled her to the brim with energy and inspiration and coffee. She was herself there.

Ricardo Rousselot is a designer and calligrapher born in 1936, at "El Chaco", Argentina. After several years living and working in Chicago and a few more at Buenos Aires, he was seduced by Barcelona, the modernism, the sea, the mountains… And that was 38 years ago.

- This tripod, designed by Benny Johansson, can be placed on top of bottles or stand for it self.
- Flexible enough to fit most of the common bottle tops and caps.
- the phone can be tilted 0-8 degrees on one side and 15 on the other.
- the elastic can be used to secure the phone from falling out, ( a string in the middle of the screen is not ideal but most camera controls are at the left or right side of the screen so it works okay for most of the time )
- can also be used as a viewing stand
- can be folded flat ( the "holy hinges" has good durability, see my test ) [Read more…]
The Lollipod Is The Cutest Light Stand / Tripod Combo Around
There are two "issues" with your casual light stand – A) chances are it is pretty boring. Most are pro black (with a minor percent being silver to break the uniformity). B) while they would be perfect as a tripod for a small digital camera (or even a smartphone), they lack the tilt/pan head to make them useful.
Enter The Lollipod – a somewhat of a hybrid between a light stand and a tripod. It has a narrow base with a mechanism that resembles a light stand and a top with a light-duty tilt-pan head. [Read more…]
What Do You Get When You Cross…?
The following idea kinda reminds me of what do you get when you cross kinda jokes. You know, like: What do you get if you cross an octopus with a cow? An animal that can milk itself. Or what do you get if you cross a sheep with a kangaroo? A woolly jumper.
Ok, so what do you get when you cross a GPS flash mount with a Mount it anywhere camera tripod? (Answer after the jump). [Read more…]
Take Cool Car Photos With A DIY Specialized Car Rig

The sense of motion achieved and the interesting angles that would be nearly impossible in a car to car or panning shot make automotive rigs an invaluable tool to automotive photographers.

Attach Your Camera To…. Anything
It is not a secret that I am a big fan of using 1/4″ bolts on just about anything to create ad-hoc tripods.
However, this one by Brian Green tops them all.
Brian is the type of guy that hikes, bikes and generally enjoys the good life (I mean the really good life, not the ones that you enjoy on the couch watching Lost). [Read more…]
DIY L-Plate / L-Bracket
In the following article Trevis Thomas (Flickr) shows us how to make an L-bracket – A useful Tripod mod that allows you to mount your camera vertically on the tripod.
I was in the market for a new joystick style-ball head and I thought that the design of the head would be limiting if I wanted to shoot with my camera in portrait orientation. Then I remembered watching a pod cast by Scott Bourne where he showed his camera mounted to a fancy L-Bracket. I thought that that would be the perfect solution and went on the hunt for a custom bracket for my Pentax K20D.
The Easy Tripod to Reflector Holder Conversion
This is another fun project from the factory of reader Jerry Hamby.
It is a reflector holder from a $9.99 tripod, a 3ft long piece of PVC pipe, an elbow to fit, and a small clamp. (The Tripod is 9.99$ on July 26th on Amazon, but I bet similar tripods are always on sale somewhere). Like the previous project from Jerry, the Green Bean Hair Light, it's a short and fun project, and you don't have to make it in whole, if you like the idea, you can expand it to things other the tripods…
The Roller Aerial Monopod
The following tutorial on building an Ariel Monopod is a guest post by Adam Hajnos.
Recently I was carrying around my camera and tripod at a music festival when I got the idea to do an aerial shot. I extended the tripod out all the way and put the camera on a timer. Only problem is, my tripod weighs upwards of 50lbs. So here is a simple solution to make a lightweight, portable monopod for "aerial" photography.
Readers Projects – The DIY Magic Arm
Jake O'Connell has come up with a great Idea to create a Magic Arm. What is a magic arm you ask? (You can have a look at the Bogen Magic Arm or read on). – Yes it is time for another Reader Project.
A magic arm is a photography magical instrument much like a tripod, but with two major differences:
The first difference is that (unlike a tripod) the non camera side of the Magic Arm is equipped with a stud (or a stud socket) which allows you to mount it on virtually anything. (Well the spiderpod also does this, but I wouldn't place my Nikon D2x on a spiderpod).
Alternatively, you can use the magic arm to mount a lighting device like a flash or a flag.
The DIY Gorilla Pod
What do you get when you cross a Nine Cents Tripod with a Pocket Foldable Tripod? A DIY Gorilla Pod.
Reader Alan Muller came up with a great way to combine the two tripods into a new even-better-then-each-of-the-originals tripod, which is very similar to the well known Gorilla Pod.
On his example Alan uses a bottle flash holder, but this Gorilla pod will firmly hold a medium sized point and shoot.
Alan used number 10 wired to make the legs: twisted and then folded and twisted again. This gives the Tripod a firm set of legs.
The wired can then be wrapped with shrink-wrap (fancy) or electrical tape (Ghetto).
At the base of the bottle, Alan used an eye bolt instead of a cap nut (or machine screw) to allow the attachment of a safety line or bungee etc.
Another bolt of ingenuity (pan intended 🙂 was to use washers to separate the tripod's legs. Those give it stability and make some order in that messy area.

Patient Comments: Cellulitis - Treatments
What was your treatment for cellulitis?
Comment from: Gail, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: May 17
I noticed a small red bump on my top right breast after working in the garden. I thought it could have been an ant bite. I took a shower and put antibiotic ointment on it. I have a low immune system due to arthritis medications. Well, 2 days later the bump swelled and the area looked like I had been beaten up, the breast was red hot and draining. It hurt badly. I went to the emergency room and it was cellulitis. I was prescribed clindamycin 300 mg every six hours for a week. I am feeling much better.
Comment from: pbaczuk, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: May 17
The emergency room infused IV Keflex and put me on oral Keflex for cellulitis. When I saw my regular doctor, she ordered clindamycin.
Comment from: Mo, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 05
I didn't know what I had till my partner saw my leg. It was very hot and red. I went to the emergency room and they gave me antibiotics. I had to stay overnight to see if the antibiotics took, and they did. They let me go home and it cleared up in a few days.
Comment from: ernie, 55-64 Female Published: February 24
I have experienced frequent urination problems for years. Recently, while driving in late January, I experienced a severe urge to urinate. I stopped to alleviate. I was only able to slowly urinate. About 15 to 30 minutes later I had the same problem. After small urination I felt relieved. I made it to where our daughter lives. I developed a 101 fever. Then I couldn't urinate, and went to the emergency room. They did bloodwork and inserted a catheter. I took Cipro and cephalexin and the infection cleared up. I went back to my urologist. I am taking tamsulosin and finasteride, and scheduled for surgery in April. I still have catheter. Infection is not due to urinary tract infection; possibly, infection in other parts of body or prostatitis.

I had vasectomy on January 11, 2016. That is almost two weeks ago. I am still recovering. The two visits I have made to the emergency room the doctors were less than helpful. I didn't have much swelling however my sac turned almost black with pass-out pain. I then went to my family doctor. She gave me antibiotics, which helped overnight. She told me it had been twenty years since she had seen anyone take more than three days to recover. Then she informed me that a patient had a testicle removed, to stop the pain. Two days later my sac was light purple. My left side is still swollen. The pain on that side is unbearable still. Bottom line, the surgeon made a mess, and the other local doctors are protecting him.

I was on clindamycin for cellulitis while I was in the hospital for a week, and when I was released I was given Bactrim 800 mg. Both antibiotics worked really great.

I took activated charcoal capsules after swallowing some water (accidentally) that had been sitting around in our living room for a week or so. Normally my digestive system overreacts to bacteria, etc. The charcoal must have absorbed the impurities in the water because I had no ill effects. I will keep charcoal capsules in the house.
