Smile and the world smiles with you
I was in the shower this morning (sorry if you're eating breakfast) while discussing life and everything with SWMBO. Our en-suite has a large open archway to the bedroom so she can see me in all my glory from the comfort of our bed.
This, as I learned later, was a bad design decision. We designed and built our own home, and in an effort to give the appearance of luxury and more space I opted to have the larger than normal entry into the en-suite. It's not the nudity or lack of privacy that concerns me, its the damn entrapment it causes. SWMBO knows that if I am in the shower that:
A. I am probably awake so I can't pretend to be asleep.
B. I am listening.
C. I will probably be awake, listening and not on the computer for at least 5 minutes.
D. I can't suddenly run off.
E. She has a captive audience.
soaped up, naked and vulnerable.So, this morning, as most mornings, I am engaged in conversation while soaped up, naked and vulnerable.
(Sorry you've given up on your breakfast but you should be eating cereal anyway)
We'd finished talking about what's on for the day and moved onto the subject other peoples' relationships. Women always talk about relationships don't they? You can start off on a particular interesting subject, like car maintenance, when a woman will sudden spin in a "relationship" issue. Well, this mornings topic involved on-line relationships. I mentioned the goings on here at TOG and how various people were looking for love and how others had found it when the whole thing went left of field. SWMBO mentioned happiness. Damn, who said relationships had anything to do with happiness? Just joking! But this was getting deeper than the normal surface-level relationship discussion that normal husband and wives dare get into!
Wynyard Station… unhappy and unsmily people?
SWMBO was speaking earlier in the week with a Bishop we know. He's in his eighties and is one of the most delightful people you'd ever meet. Some people are born with good grace, humour and empathy mixed with plain old good manners and respect. This bugger has it all. Anyway, she said they were talking about city life and the humdrum of working day in and day out, commuting, rushing, deadlines; in other words "The Rat Race". She said "You leave Wynyard Station" probably the busiest train station in Sydney "and there's no one smiling"
It all clicked together in one of those moments. So, okay, it wasn't an epiphany but it was a 'moment". A sudsy moment.
The problem with the rat race is it never endsYou see I had only read the previous evening a quote from a cartoon which I am unable to find again. "The problem with the rat race is it never ends"
Oh, that's so true isn't it? But I also had an encounter yesterday on the way to work… with the other rats… while walking down Brisbane street, Surry Hills. An absolutely gorgeous young thing was coming the other way. She had long legs, drop dead body, lovely brunette hair below her shoulders, model-level face but most of all a huge smile on her face.This bugger has it all. A smile that was infectious. I smiled. I noticed everyone smiling too. Her smile lit up the little lane way.
SWMBO raised her eyebrows for a split second as I described the woman and her effect on others around her before agreeing if more people should smiled then getting to work each day would be less of a humdrum experience. The subject quickly turned back to what's on today.
So, have you met anyone who can brighten your day with a smile? How about it, can you smile on your way to work? I doubt I could… they'd shout "Arrest that pervert over there! Get him!"

As an apprentice, they used to call me 'grinner'… for obvious reasons.
Wife brightens me up regularly with her smile.
Ever notice how when the subject comes up of a pretty woman that isn't the one your with, the one your with changes the topic? ;)
Brave man to mention another woman when you naked and vulnerable :)
""Brave man to mention another woman when you naked and vulnerable :) ""
Which is a damn sight better than mentioning a naked and vulnerable woman :)

Is Michelle Williams off the market again?
Over the past month, the actress, 32, has been photographed alongside artist Dustin Yellin, 37, with whom she was seen leaving the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in New York City.
About a month later, the duo was all smiles on June 3 as they attended a child's birthday party together at a Brooklyn park with Williams's daughter, Matilda in tow.
Like Yellin, Segel spent time with Williams's only child with the late Heath Ledger.
When it comes to the public's view on her relationships, Williams said in February, "If people are happy about it, that makes me feel good because in my head, the opposite is often true – that people fault or blame you for things."
Added the star, "You wish they would just want you to be happy, for your kid to be happy, and for you to have a good life and do good work. Any kind sentiment that the world can feed back, well, I won't turn it down."

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
Off the top of my head, I cannot recall the tale of a hero told from the perspective of a corrupt cop. But in Nightwatchman (Kickstart Comics), the new 96-page graphic novel from the writing team of MarcBernardin and Adam Freeman, that's exactly the kind of story you get. To mark the Dec. 5 release of the book, the writers spoke with Robot 6 about their collaboration with artist Javi Fernandez.
Tim O'Shea: How long has this story been rolling around in your respective heads?
Marc Bernardin: It's been on the runway for a while, one of those ideas that we loved but only had the kernel of. It needed time to ferment, like so many of these things do.
Adam Freeman: You know there's something to an idea when it keeps rattling around up there. If you can't shake it you have to explore it or it will drive you crazy.
On Wednesday, Kickstart Comics (not to be confused with Kickstarter) will release Duplicate, the new graphic novel from writer Mark Sable and artist Andy MacDonald. The publisher describes the project as follows: "A seemingly ordinary family man sees his doppelganger and realizes he's a clone. But not just any clone. A duplicate of the world's deadliest secret agent. A decoy designed to spend time with The Agent's family and otherwise provide cover while the spy is off saving the world."
In addition to answering my questions about Duplicate, Sable was kind enough to share a slew of exclusive unlettered preview pages, which you will find at the end of the interview.
Tim O'Shea: Given that your publisher Kickstart is not one of the Big Two, I was pleasantly surprised to see they have priced your 88-page original graphic novel, Duplicate, at $8.99. Are you hoping the price point will give indie-comics fans more incentive to give the story a try?
Mark Sable: I hope most readers will check out the book for my story or Andy MacDonald's art, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't hope that the price point would be an extra reason to take a chance on the Duplicate. It's Kickstart's first foray into a full-size OGNs after doing digest-sized books like Rift Raiders (my previous OGN for them with Julian Totino Tedesco). I think in an economy like this, with 20 page single issues costing $3.99 or more each, having a complete story arc for $8.99 is our chance to compete with value as well as quality.
Welcome to another installment of "Food or Comics?" Every week we set certain hypothetical spending limits on ourselves and go through the agony of trying to determine what comes home and what stays on the shelves. So join us as we run down what comics we'd buy if they only had $15 and $30 to spend, as well as what we'd get if we had some "mad money" to splurge with.
Check out Diamond's full release list if you'd like to play along in our comments section.
Graeme McMillan
If I had $15, at least $9 of it – okay, $8.98 – would be already spoken for. The first issue of Batman Incorporated ($3.99) and one-shot lead-in Batman: The Return #1 ($4.99) offer up the first glimpses of what Grant Morrison has in mind for his new Batus-quo and, after the way he brought the RIP/Return of Bruce Wayne storyline to a close, I'm pretty much on board no matter what. The remaining money…? It's a tough one, but I'm going to go for Spider-Girl #1 ($3.99), pretty much because I like Paul Tobin's writing, I like the Twitter gimmick (Somewhere, Joe Casey's going "I did it first in Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance!" and I know, Joe), and, most importantly, the Spider-Girl short was my favorite part of last week's Amazing Spider-Man relaunch issue. Who could've seen that coming?
Jimmy Palmiotti has been a lot of things in the world of comics: inker, publisher, editor, writer and even journalist and interviewer at times. A veteran inker who transitioned to writing and editing, back in the late 90s and early 2000s he and Joe Quesada helped turn around then-beleaguered Marvel Comics giving the publisher a new style and swagger. But when Quesada became Editor-In-Chief, Palmiotti famously decided to jump back into the freelance world and carved out a niche for himself as a go-to writer for superhero titles and also a strong voice in independent comics.
Fast forward to today, and he's riding high on the success of his longest running series ever, DC's Jonah Hex, is doing some editing for publishing newcomer Kickstart, and has a bevy of projects on both sides of the Big Two on the verge of announcement. But despite his success as writer, or perhaps because of it, his name is often bandied about as a viable candidate for top jobs at both Marvel and DC — but as of yet, Palmiotti continues to freelance. Why? That's because he likes it.
Jason Netter, producer of the Wanted film and the Painkiller Jane TV show, is starting his own comic book company.
Variety reports that Kickstart Comics, an imprint of Netter's film and TV company Kickstart Entertainment, will be overseen by prolific writer/artist Jimmy Palmiotti and AiT/PlanetLar owner Larry Young. The Hollywood trade also said the company has already entered into distribution pact with several major retailers, including Walmart, to produce at least 24 new books over a year. The initial plan is to release four books a month for six months starting this fall.
"This is a way to introduce comic books to a broader audience," Netter told the trade.
Read the full story over at Variety for more. As they say, this one is developing …
Update: I asked Young about the announcement, and he responded: "At AiT, we've worked with Jason at Kickstart for many years. Loved shooting the NOBODY pilot for ABC Family up in Vancouver with him, and we have very similar sensibilities when it comes to graphic novels, so I'm really looking forward to helping the Kickstart team bring a mainstream entertainment experience to comics."
And from Palmiotti: "I have been working with Jason and Samantha for years since they sold Painkiller Jane to sci-fi and have been writing books for them as well like Back to Brooklyn, and Random Acts of Violence. They asked me to freelance edit some books for them and help them along the way and its been great ever since. I am still writing for them, as well, they are out selling my properties like The Pro and Ballerina and we have enjoyed a great working relationship together."
Update 2: Here's the company's website, which features preview art for upcoming books like Bombhead by B. Clay Moore and Kevin Mellon; Mirror, Mirror by Joshua Williamson and Lee Moder; and Hero Complex by Adam Freeman, Marc Bernardin and Javi Fernandez.

The Thin Man (Compact Disc)
"The Thin Man" introduces Nick and Nora Charles, New York's coolest crime-solving couple. Nick retired from detecting after his wife inherited a tidy sum, but six years later a pretty blonde spies him at a speakeasy and asks for his help finding her father, an eccentric inventor who was once Nick's client. Nick can no more resist the case than a morning cocktail or a good fight, and soon he and Nora are caught in a complicated web of confused identities and cold-blooded murder.

It is gratifying to know that our young people are being taught about our government and our Constitution and are learning the meaning of our national anthem. Love and support of our country is so important. Let's never take our hard-won freedoms for granted.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Barack Obama formally launched his re-election campaign here Saturday with some old favorites, from "fired up, ready to go" to a closing bow to "hope and change." But almost everything else about the day spoke to the differences between his first and second runs for the president.
The president used his rallies to try to begin to disqualify Mitt Romney. Yet the coming election is still more about him than his Republican rival. Obama's biggest opponent may be an economy that is still struggling to gain the kind of momentum that will convince voters that the recession is truly over.
It was perhaps a coincidence in timing that the president's opening events came just a day after a tepid employment report that showed only modest private-sector job creation. The unemployment rate ticked down a tenth of a percentage point, but only because the labor force shrank as discouraged Americans gave up looking for work.
The general election gets under way against that backdrop, neither so gloomy as to make it all but certain that the president will be defeated nor good enough to give Democrats real confidence that the president's re-election is all but assured. For the next months, Obama and Romney are both hostages to the economic statistics even as they slug it out on the campaign trail.
Obama showed he is ready for the fight. His campaign skills have lost little in the four years since iconic rallies became the trademark of his candidacy. Introduced by first lady Michelle Obama, he walked onto a runway in the Schottenstein Center on the campus of Ohio State University, paused, smiled, waved and smiled again.
After a few more strides, he hugged and kissed his wife, stepped to the microphone — and then proceeded to try to shred Romney and the Republicans. His rival, Obama said, is a patriotic American with a fine family and experience in the private sector and with running a state.
But Romney "has drawn the wrong lessons from those experiences," the president said. "He sincerely believes that if CEOs and wealthy investors like him make money, the rest of us will automatically prosper as well."
He pulled from Romney's statements on the campaign trail and the agenda of a congressional wing of the Republican Party that he portrayed as backward-looking and harmful to the country's future. He suggested that Romney is a man out of touch with the lives and aspirations of working Americans and in league with the wealthiest in society.
"I don't know how many times you try to explain it," he said, referring to a Romney comment the Democrats love to quote. "Corporations aren't people. People are people."
Though the president has been campaigning for months, Obama's advisers billed Saturday's rallies in the battleground states of Ohio and Virginia as an opportunity to draw distinctions with Romney and the Republicans in ways he had not done previously.
The contrasts he drew were more sharply etched and at times hard-edged. The litany was long. Tax cuts. Health care. Education. Financial regulation. Energy. Climate change. Women's rights. Setting a timetable for ending the war in Afghanistan.
"We can't afford to spend the next four years going backward," he said. "We just cannot turn back now."
Those issues will be at the center of the debate between the president and the former Massachusetts governor. But for many voters, the first question they will try to answer is likely to be whether the country truly is going forward fast enough to satisfy them.
If their conclusion is no, the second is whether they think the president has the vision and the strength of leadership to get the country where they want it to go. He will be measured against that standard as much as against comparisons with Romney.

Being satisfied with little, you can gain much. Seeking much you will go astray. The wise heeds this precept. If it could be so with all people!
The wise trusts not only to his physical eyes — thus he can see clearly.
The wise does not think that only he is right —thus he knows the truth.
He does not seek glory — yet people respect him.
He does not seek power — yet people follow him.
He does not struggle with anyone — thus no one can vanquish him.
He does not feel pity for himself — thus he can successfully develop.
Only he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.
The wise cares about everyone, and he becomes an example to all.
He does not praise himself — yet he is respectable.
He does not elevate himself — yet he is esteemed by others.
In ancient times, people said that imperfect moves to becoming perfect. Are these words vain? No! Truly, by gaining Unity you come to Perfection!

Leadership that can be fully explained is never True Leadership.
An element of mystery must remain.
Methods of Leading People that can be completely understood

"Wordless" is the beginning & end of True Leadership.
Leadership begins with words.
The door to endless mystery.
If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish. If you want to take something, you must first allow it to be given. This is called the subtler perception of the way things are. The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast. Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.

A good athlete can enter a state of body-awareness in which the right stroke or the right movement happens by itself, effortlessly, without any interference of the conscious will. This is a paradigm for non-action: the purest and most effective form of action. The game plays the game; the poem writes the poem; we can't tell the dancer from the dance. It happens when we trust the intelligence of the universe in the same way that an athlete or a dancer trusts the superior intelligence of the body.
Do you think that you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear. Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. . . . The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

A new algorithm is developed to obtain the globally optimal solution for scalable source codes of convex rate-fidelity function and for a wide class of erasure channels, including channels for which the probability of losing packets is monotonically nonincreasing in , and independent erasure channels with packet erasure rate smaller than 0.5. This is achieved at linear space complexity and near-linear time complexity in the transmission budget, representing significant improvement over the known globally optimal algorithm. When applied to SPIHT compressed images, the results of the proposed algorithm are virtually the same as the global optima. The above success is also extended to UEP packetization of multiple scalable code streams. We improve the existing algorithms in both speed and performance.

A 1-year-old boy died Wednesday evening after falling from a moving tractor.
Wesley Levi Manikowski fell from the cab of the tractor at 7:41 p.m. while out seeding cover crop with his 4-year-old brother and his father, Michael Mogren of Lidgerwood, according to a release from Sargent County Sheriff Travis Paeper.
Wesley, who would have turned 2 in August, was taken to Oakes Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the release said.
Paeper called the incident a "farming accident" but said it remains under investigation.
An autopsy was scheduled Thursday in Bismarck, the release said.

I'm a web developer & DevOps engineer living in North Wales, UK with a lot of experience in software development, support and development operations.
I've been involved in a whole bunch of interesting things (see my Experience below), but I'm particularly interested in:
- Development operations & Unix system administration including configuration management, provisioning and deployment processes. I love to make things work consistently, quickly, and enjoyably for the people that have to work with them.
- The Python web framework Django - a wonderful tool for building very flexible, quality web systems.
- Frontend development & architecture, focusing on usability.
- Documentation and support - it's hard to convince people that good documentation is important, but it's always a priority when I'm working with someone.
When it comes to DevOps, I'm way in to automation, I've used and enjoyed: Ansible, Chef, Vagrant, Jenkins, Fabric, Packer, Serf, and all sorts of other good stuff. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of having the right set of tools all working in tandem at the push of a button.
Once a system is live I know the importance of keeping it well monitored and maintained. I've built backup and recovery processes, configured and customised monitoring tools including Nagios, Munin and check_mk, and am familiar with Logstash, Kibana and Graphite.
I love learning - I'm always trying out new tools, frameworks or technologies and breaking them in interesting ways, but I'm just as happy sitting down with tried and true tools like Django and building cool things with them.
I've worked on projects in numerous languages (including Java, C#, Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript) on loads of different platforms and frameworks.
I'm not only in to development - I've spent a lot of time working with IT teams to consult on and improve processes, in particular I have:
- Successfully introduced the Scrum agile methodology to a team with a very positive response.
- Lead development teams to deliver complex systems under high pressure situations.
- Managed the development of websites co-ordinating remotely with partners across the European Union.
- Been consulted to improve development processes at multiple companies; successfully introducing and training on use of version control, continuous integration & improved development and deployment practices.

I'm looking for a mail client that supports handling rather large IMAP folders and that can ignore notifications for specific subfolders.
I'm an old Mozilla Mail user and obviously I migrated to Thunderbird a long time ago. However, the lack of response to filed "bug reports"/requests about re-enabling server side search instead of local search in combination with a complete lack of support for disabling notifications for specific (sub)folders has made me go for a hunt.
Does anyone know any decent client for Windows and OS X for this? I am actually considering making a branch of Thunderbird or try to patch up old Mozilla Mail again. This is crazy. ;-)

Pro-Russian militants in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk have forced the local police chief to resign, after storming police headquarters. Armed pro-Russian groups also took over police buildings in the nearby city of Slovyansk, seizing firearms. Henry Ridgwell reports from Donetsk.

Ukraine says Saturday's attacks by pro-Russian militants in eastern Ukraine are "an act of external aggression" by Russia, and security officials are preparing to implement "an operational response plan."
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov's evaluation appeared on Facebook Saturday, shortly after armed militants with Russian weapons seized more government buildings in the Russian-speaking east, including police headquarters in Donetsk and Kramatorsk.
Witnesses, including western journalists, say the Kramatorsk facility was captured after a firefight, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.

The takeover of police facilities in Donetsk prompted the city's police chief to resign, while elsewhere, Western news accounts late Saturday said militants controlled the eastern city of Sloviansk.
Moscow has repeatedly denied any role in Ukraine's unrest, which erupted in full two months ago, when anti-Russian protesters in Kyiv forced then-president Viktor Yanukovych to flee the country.
US reaction
Meanwhile, the United States has called on Russia to "cease all efforts" to destabilize Ukraine. A White House National Security Council spokeswoman said Saturday the United States is concerned that Russian separatists -- with apparent support from Moscow -- are "inciting violence and sabotage" against the Ukrainian state.
Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by telephone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the State Department said.
"During the call Kerry expressed strong concern that attacks today by armed militants in eastern Ukraine were orchestrated and synchronized, similar to previous attacks in eastern Ukraine and Crimea,'' said a senior State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"Militants were equipped with specialized Russian weapons and the same uniforms as those worn by the Russian forces that invaded Crimea. The secretary made clear that if Russia did not take steps to de-escalate in eastern Ukraine and move its troops back from Ukraine's border, there would be additional consequences,'' the official added.
The official did not state what those consequences would be.
US officials met Friday with Ukrainian finance officials to discuss a "range of strategic and economic issues" according to a State Department statement.
In Moscow, Russian state television reports Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry Saturday that the crisis is caused by the Kyiv government ignoring "the legitimate needs and interests of the Russian and Russian-speaking population" of the region.
Lavrov also warned that any use of force by Kyiv could undermine diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis.

At the Donetsk police headquarters, the Russian colors fly alongside the regional separatist flag.
Around 200 pro-Russian protesters armed with clubs and knives took over the building Saturday and met no resistance -- forcing the police chief to resign.
"Here in Donetsk, everyone is sick of the powers in Kyiv," complained Oleksander Korfman, one of the organizers. "That includes the police. They can't break their pledge to the state, but they are with the people."
Later around a dozen heavily armed Ukrainian police -- known as Berkut -- were welcomed into the headquarters. It appears there is much sympathy for the protesters among security forces.
Most of the protesters then left the police building in the hands of special forces. One protester -- who did not want to be named -- said the takeover was aimed at ensuring police weapons are not used against the demonstrators.
"The special forces will secure the place so no one steals the weapons inside. We will go back to our positions at the regional administration building," the protester said.
Armed pro-Russian groups also stormed police buildings in the nearby city of Slovyansk Saturday. There were reports that the demonstrators seized around 400 firearms. One who gave the name Sergei explained their actions.
"Our people want to live quietly and peacefully, without the junta who seized power in Kyiv," he said, "and so that we are not under America and the West. We don't want to be their slaves. We want to be with Russia."
Building by building, the protesters are gaining ground. Their challenge to Kyiv's authority is so far unanswered; the dangers of conflict are growing.

NATO says Russian armed forces are massing on Ukraine's eastern border, while Moscow says they are on normal maneuvers.
Ukraine suspends gas payments
There were other signs of heightened cross-border tensions Saturday, with the Kyiv government saying it is suspending natural gas payments to Moscow. Details of the move were not immediately clear.
Moscow says its neighbor owes $ 2.2 billion in payment arrears. Early this month, the Russian energy giant Gazprom announced two price increases that effectively raise Ukrainian gas costs by about 80 percent. Additionally, Russian President Vladimir Putin has hinted that Moscow may begin demanding energy payments from Kyiv at the time of delivery.
Top diplomats from Russia, the United States, Ukraine and the European Union are set to hold emergency talks on the crisis April 17 in Geneva.

If Europe wants stability, Ukraine must be protected by NATO,
If Europe really wants stability, then they must allow those countries that desire to join NATO to be allowed to become members providing they adhere to the NATO doctrine of a democratic society through fair elections and democratic values. This is not a country club with exclusive membership that only the elite can join, is based on certain values that must be upheld and enforced through a democratic process of self governing. The basic rules are that each country must prove that they are a democratic governing body which is freely elected to represent its citizens and has equal rights for all of its citizens under its constitution, as was decided and established after WWII. The ousted Ukraine regime was in no way a freely elected representative of the population of Ukraine. It was a puppet regime put in place by Mr.Putin and under his strict control. That's why when democracy reared its ugly head, the old regime high tailed it back to Mr.Putin for protection. The new government has show great restraint in dealing with Russia, great progress in modifying its constitution to incorporate all citizens within its boundaries, strong leadership through democracy and great restraint in not targeting ethnic groups within the country, including legitimate pro-russian citizens. Those Russians that have infiltrated the country under the pretext of causing an uprising or revolution, are not Ukraine citizens. RUSSIA, on the other hand has done everything imaginable to cause internal conflicts within the Ukraine government, yet they have held to their democratic reliefs and refrained from the previous corrupt ways of the old regime. NATO has to establish some type of protective umbrella which allows future NATO member countries to survive aggression as seen by Russia today. NATO cannot and should not look the other way as Russia INVADES Ukraine by only a few well placed infiltrators or an entire army to conquer Ukraine, it's still an invasion by Russia. NATO must respond to Russia's actions. In ending, their are three countries waiting to join NATO, Macedonia, Ukraine and Georgia. These countries know the hell that takes place under Russia.'s influence and corruption. Let them join now and send Putin a very clear message.
An AMERICAN's point of view

The US and European Union lack responsiveness,
The US government has shown absolutely no leadership in the Ukraine crisis. Mr.Putin is calling the shots and our government stands around looking like a bunch of mental patients on tranquilizers. Where are those harsh financial sanctions which we keep saying are in America's tool chest, which it appears the US is reluctant to use for fear it will hurt the US and European economy. The European Union is pretty much in the same position. You all keep telling Russia to stop its aggression, but not one country has done anything regarding those tough sanctions. Why? Are we all waiting for Putin to invade Ukraine and a civil war to erupt, and then implement those tough sanctions we all keep talking about. By that time, Ukraine will be annexed by Russia and Ukraine's current government will be exiled to who knows where by Mr.Putin and the Russian government under their protection act for Russian speaking citizens. GEE! I wonder how many people in Europe and America speak Russian and will need saving?
Sorry Mr.Obama, the game is just about over in Europe and your skipping around Asia. The European Union is no better then America, none of you are implementing those tough sanctions you keep saying are comming. I'll believe it when I see it. Their sort of like the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, mythical and mystical beliefs that we were told about as kids, but we know as adults what they really are. Are these tough sanctions even real? If you need a list of companies, I've listed some below to help get you guys started. The first Company is Gazprom, which should be at the top of the list. Let's see if Putin can feed his people oil and gas to sustain them in the coming months.
Russian Companies to Sanction,
"Gazprom", Aeroflot-Russian Airlines, PhosAgro, Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel, X5 Retail Group, Nomos Bank, Alrosa, UC Rusal, Mechel, Uralkali, Federal Grid of UES, IDGC Holding, Sistema, Magnit, Severstal, Novolipetsk Steel, RusHydro, MegaFon, Inter Rao, Rostelecom, Novatek, Transneft, Tatneft, Norilsk Nickel, VTB Bank, Surgutneftegas, TNK-BP Holding, Lukoil, Sberbank, Rosneft.

To The Ukraine People,
It's sad that those few pro-Russians that are armed to the hilt have silenced the voice of the majority of the Ukraine population. Because the news media wants to have stories that are sensationalized to draw world attention, the 80% of the population that are your normal everyday hard working citizens are ignored or just totally overlooked by the news media. Sadly, this is the way of the world today. As an AMERICAN, I am interested in knowing just how the average Ukraine citizen feels about what's happening in your whole country, not small sections that don't represent the majority. If any of you have the ability to get your voices herd via posting or emailing to news agencies, then please, do so to help people throughout the world understand exactly how the law abiding citizens feel about what's taking place in your country. I see so many sites were the posting are from one loud mouth trying to control the posting site by bombarding it with vicious attacks that are so one sided, it skews what the majority view really is in Ukraine. Mr.Putin's propaganda machine is cranking out so much bull xxx, that I don't even care to read anything from a Russian media source. So please Ukraine citizen's, speak up and let your voices be heard.
An AMERICAN's point of view.

Let's play Mr.Putin's game,
For Russia only, let's have the World Bank double or triple its loan rates since they annexed Crimea against the terms of the Budapest Memorandum. This is about the same as what they did to Ukraine, since they removed the discount that Gazprom gave to Crimea, since they have annexed Crimea and Ukraine no longer complies with the original agreement since they no longer own Crimea. Is this some type of Russian monopoly game that the rest of the world doesn't know about? No this is just how Putin plays whatever the hell he wants to do in Europe is OK since it's his game and his rules!!! HA,HA,HA and you can't play!!!

Land bridge to the sea,
If you look at a map of Ukraine, you can see how Mr.Putin is trying to build a land BRIDGE to the sea through the country of Ukraine. This way, he can support his ships in Crimea via the land BRIDGE. You will notice how all the pro-russian cities with pro-russian protesters are in the direct path of this land BRIDGE to the sea. But of course, Putin is protecting his people. No matter what color you paint horse xxxx, it still smells like horse xxxx, it just looks better.

To Late, implement Sanction now,
The sanctions imposed should be extremely harsh and imposed on the top 50 largest companies, banks, businesses that are owned or associated with the Russian government and directly contribute to Russia's cash flow into Moscow and Russia, as well as Crimea, since they have annexed Crimea. Let's see if the Russian sailors can keep the Crimean economy afloat. These companies are published in Forbes top 200 Russian Companies. The EU and America should take the top 50 companies and implement sanctions. If Europe and America citizen's want to start the sanctions immediately, just start to sell those Russian stocks listed on the Forbes web site. If you don't own any of those stocks, consider yourself lucky. The stocks in question are in the banking, mining, gas, oil, military hardware and other government related industries like broadcasting news agencies within Russia's borders that continue to stimulate anger within the Russian population from the blatant lies that are continuously broadcast from these news agencies 24/7. Strong sanctions on a global scale would cripple the Russian economy and stop the flow of cash into Moscow and Russia, forcing Putin to shore up is stock market as well as Russia's currency. How Mr.Putin can shore up his industries as well, is a real dilemma.

Let's invite Mr.Putin to speak on a european network
Perhaps the time has come to invite Mr.Putin to speak on a European network that is not under Russian control. Perhaps he could explain how these pro-russian protesters are able to travel from Crimea to eastern Ukraine in large groups all on their own, with no assistance from Moscow, with full armor and military gear. Mr.Putin and his regime spew bull shit and lies in a constant flow to convince their people how they are only their for the support of the Russian people. That's why he spent $53 million on Sochi, which will be the new playground for Mr.Putin and his current regime, who are the only people in Russia who can afford such an extravagance. What an absolute disgusting group the whole regime is under Mr.Putin's control.
I listened to the Russian ambassador talk at the United Nation's, and was amazed at the crap he was saying and watched as everyone around him was called misinformed, and misled by American propaganda or UN propaganda from its human rights investigation reports. I never saw so many distorted facts or out and out lies in my life conning from the Russian ambassador, perhaps, that's why the whole time he had a smile on his face. OH Yeh, the world is all wrong and Mr.Putin is a saint. What a load of crap. The Russian people are so gullable, that they believe this bull shit as the truth. I trust Mr.Putin as far as I could sling a turd, which is pretty much what I think he is.

To The Russian People,
Mr.Putin has grand ideas of being the next CZAR of the new Russia he is in the process of forming through, infiltration, instigation , fear, intimidation and invasion all in the name of protecting my people. He has stated as such and is upset that his country gave up so many former federation member satelite countries, so he has devised a scheme to try taking them back, one by one, for the glory of Russia. The writing is on the wall and he could care less what any country, people, government, religion or ethnic group cares or thinks of his devine and grand plan to become the CZAR of the new Russia. This is very similar to another super race as was once seen in history before, and we know how that ended, 30 to 40 million dead or missing. This man lives in the fantasy world of the CZARS who have long ago departed this world. I fear that the Russian people are going to pay a high financial price for the arrogance of such a leader. Today with the internet, the world is actually a very small place, given the speed at which information travels around the globe. This can be good as well as bad, if governments become so controlling that they only allow selective information to filter to their citizens, which is exactly how Russia controls it's people, and is currently taking place in Crimea. The Russian people do not have a clue as to what real freedom is and are unable to even grasp what it feels like, and from what I can see, they never will. Their are however a very select group of Putin's inner circle who have these freedoms, unless they should disagree with him, in which case they are felt with very swiftly and in harsh punishments. Their are many documented cases of his inner circle people dying or disappearing when they failed to support him. As an American, I can basically do anything, without government approval or fear of reprisal, as long as I stay within the law. This is unlimited in its scope and allows be to be or do most anything I want, without any fear whatsoever. I know from my Russian co-worker from Georgia (Russia), how his brother and sister vanished after attending a college rally in Moscow. He has never heard from or seen them again, so he defected to America with his wife, son and daughter and is now free. This is Russian freedom!

To Ukrainians Soldiers
It's very difficult to look into the faces of your citizens and say stop or I'll shoot. Police officers are faced with this dilemma many times in their careers, but for the good of the many it sometimes has to be done. Those hard liners who want to destroy Ukraine as a country, the pro Russian as they call themselves, have no intention of doing it through diplomatic channels. The have been schooled in the hard line methodology that says the bigger gun wins or the dead opponent is the looser. Free elections allow the majority to rule based on the majority vote. If 51% win, then they won the election and have controlling seats in government.
The remaining 49% must strive to change the future outcome through education and editorials expressing their viewpoints until they can obtain that 51% margin required to gain control. In America, we are faced with this dilemma many times and are patient in knowing that we can change things if we can convince the population that are way or or beliefs are better for the nation. This is not done at the point of a gun barrel.
So remember and ask yourself, what type of life do myself, my parents, my children or my wife want in the long term. Should they always have to be looking down the barrel of a gun to cast a vote. This is not freedom in any way shape or form. Sometimes hard choices have to be made to live in a truly free and democratic society.
Trust me, in America, many American's disapprove of some decisions our government makes, but we don't take up arms nor dose are government start shooting protesters. And by the way, our elected officials don't run off in the middle of the night to a neighboring country for protection. This results in the elected officials have to do exactly what Ukraine's parliament had to do, set up an intern government to keep things in operation and functioning properly. The old regime were nothing more then criminals in every way, shape or form. Yet Mother Russia accepted them with open arms, as comrades in crime and corruption. Support your current government until the May 25, 2014 elections and let the people speak.
An AMERICAN's point of view.

Ivory Coast is the world's top producer of cocoa but hardly any of it is processed into chocolate there. Instead, the cocoa is sent abroad to chocolate makers in Europe and elsewhere. This is a general problem throughout Africa – massive exports of raw materials but few finished goods. As Emilie Iob reports from Abidjan, several Ivorian entrepreneurs are working to change that formula - 100% Ivorian chocolate bar at a time.

Trump Tones Down Praise for Russia
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is toning down his compliments for Russia and Vladimir Putin as such rhetoric got him in trouble recently. After calling on Russia to find 30.000 missing emails from rival Hillary Clinton, Trump told reporters he doesn't know Putin and never called him a great leader, just one who's better than President Barack Obama. Putin has welcomed Trump's overtures, but, as Zlatica Hoke reports, ordinary Russians say they are not putting much faith in Trump.

By most measures, London rivals New York as the only true global financial center.

Gorlan is preparing to muddle some herbs and bone together to settle a customers stomach pains
Felden brings out a fresh loaf. Even Gorlan can't help but smile at the smell of fresh bread!
Using techniques from DC's guide and a few other builders here, I wanted to expand on my town. I had some of the blue from a PaB wall and wanted to try something besides tan. I like the way it looks but I realize the houses have the same color scheme as the Medieval Village. Still I an pretty happy overall.
I also have mapped out the Hamlet of Circardia and plan on starting a thread linking all the buildings to their respective MOC threads. I also wanted to expand on the back stories of Circardia and Lord Arlindus (and his father Orthus) as well.
C&C welcome!

Muscarelle Museum of Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Muscarelle Museum of Art at The College of William & Mary is an art museum in Williamsburg, Virginia right on the College's campus.[1] It sits adjacent to the Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall on Jamestown Road. The museum was given to the College as a gift from alumni and friends and first opened its doors in 1983.[1] The biggest donor was William & Mary alumnus Joseph L. Muscarelle (Class of 1927) and his wife Margaret. They and their family have continued to support the museum's operation with funding through the years.[1]
