Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love she was my queen
And now a thousand years between.
Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.30 / 5.00 3,903 ViewsCartoon drawn in 2006, but on Newgrounds it was not.
Original score written and performed by Ghost Reflection.
Sorry for that junk.
That was awesome. If you ever need a crazy audio track for your videos hit me up. Iam a huge fan of what your doing. Thats if you are interested in making more videos like this one. I can make some crazy scary intense sounds on a bass guitar, sounds you would never expect to hear a bass make. I can make it scream! Serious! Just let me know if your ever interested in something like that, it would definetly fit in.
Lets freak people out, bring my techniques to life with bizarre stuff like this.
Well the point missed out..
Gives the chills, that's well done, the sound is great to, matches the environment perfect, but I found it rather boring, mostly because i didn't get it I think... If you had shortened it a little, skipped some scenes, made the point clear. it would work better for me... :)+
I don't know if your work have a message at all but I think your focusing on making it too weird and disturbing that made the idea not so vivid ( if it had one ) so I didn't really get it ....but I loved the art work and the whole thing in general ,and I think that" racecarz" idea makes sense( that It's protest against government testing of animals) good job any way :) hope to see more
Too weird, senseless. And even psychologically dangerous for watchers. Not at a high extent, but if you watch too many of those, you can turn insane.

Mario Echazabal worked for contractors at a Chevron oil refinery in California for 20 years before he applied to work directly for the company in the same unit. But Chevron refused to hire him after a pre-employment physical showed he suffered from hepatitis C. The company said it feared the chemicals would severely aggravate his hepatitis.
Echazabal sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Chevron defended its action by pointing to a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regulation that allows companies to exclude workers who pose a direct threat to their own health and safety.
Some courts have let employers use this "direct threat to self" defense. But not this one. The 9th Circuit ruled for Echazabal, declaring that the ADA clearly says ?that employer "paternalism" is not a legitimate reason to deny a person a job. (Echazabal v. Chevron USA Inc., No. 98-55551, 9th Cir., 2000)
The court also knocked down Chevron's argument that personal safety is an "essential function" of the job, even though the company's job description required the employee to be able to tolerate such chemicals. The court said that not every employment condition is an essential function, even if it's in writing.
Advice: There's no question that you can deny a job if a person's medical condition poses a threat to co-workers or customers. But this ruling throws a wrench into your ability to use the "direct threat to self" defense to block a person from a position.
What should you do if a disabled employee applies for a job that could threaten his own safety? Explain the potential risks, but leave the decision up to him whether to pursue the position.
Because of this ruling, this approach is now mandatory in the 9th Circuit: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.

UDML Drone
The technical maniacs of Team Zenith of JECRC UDML College of Engineering came up with yet another piece of wonder. But this time, out-matching themselves, their flying aircraft was shammed by its successor, the UDML Drone which is basically a Quadcopter. The UDML Drone is the first of this kind of achievement in the entire realm of Rajasthan which was officially made public by the Vice chancellor of Rajasthan Technical University Mr S.N Vyas during his visit to the JECRC UDML campus at Kukas of the JECRC Foundation. college Principal Dr Ram Rattan too encouraged students for the same. Mr. Arpit Agrawal has already put in place a system of venture capital funding for motivating the students to march Ahead.

The RC operated, 8 kg weighing drone is festooned with a 40 MP HD camera. The UDML Drone is proposed to be used for live surveillance under various required and suited situations. This will also find its usage in capturing moments during social events, rallies, elections etc. Showing vast horizontal and vertical ranges of 100 m and 100 ft respectively, the UDML Drone allows the user to have a fairly handsome area under his disposal for observation.
The credit of the successful making of UDML Drone goes to the member of team Zenith –Akshat atrey(ME Branch,4th Year ) Rajendra Jain (ME 4th Year),Tanmay Chaturvedi (ME -3rd Year) and Ravi Yadav (ECE 1st Year) under the guidance of Prof Utpal Chakrawarty , The project Head and H.O.D Mechanical Dept. of JECRC UDML College of Engg.
The UDML Drone is THE BEST project of the students so far and shows a quantum leap in their understanding of mechanics. -

A recent conversation about the importance of sun protection with my coworker got me thinking about my favorite products. First I should say that I am an American Cancer Society alum. Working there gave me a generally heightened awareness of the importance of sunscreen. However, it was my father in law's skin cancer diagnosis last summer that really made me a passionate advocate for taking care of your body's armor. (more…)
Kendra Scott Wren Earrings

Pretty in Pink: LOFT Collarless Canvas Tuxedo Jacket
Yesterday, I paid my a visit to my local LOFT, looking for a must-have pink blazer I spotted in the current issue of People StyleWatch (my style bible/guilty pleasure). But when I started searching the store, the jacket eluded me – even after I combed the racks several times over. I did spot two, however – only they weren't for sale. Two of the saleswomen were rocking the blazer and it was like the fashion gods were taunting me.

It's difficult to be in charge of a team that doesn't feel that they are being held accountable. George Hedley for Mason Contractors writes on ways to combat accountability and responsibility by placing some decision making into the hands of the employees.
Hedley recommends that employers stop wearing a sign around their neck that says, "I SOPP" (I Solve Other People's Problems). When employers solve all the problems within their organization, they leave their employees undervalued.

About Gucci
In the late 1800s, Guccio Gucci worked as a bellhop for The Savoy hotel in London. Carrying heavy luggage stuffed with fine clothing and early-edition paper e-readers, he noticed that Tuscan luggage was a favorite of the wealthy families who visited the hotel. He returned to Florence and opened his own leather goods workshop and store in 1921. Business boomed. Artisans designed a diamond-printed bag and the interlocking G logo—both icons of this brand to this day. By the 1960s and '70s, the brand's customers included Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Jackie O, and Queen Elizabeth II. In 1979, the New York Times wrote that Gucci's G insignia was "a status symbol recognized around the world."
Today, Gucci continues to produce signature items such as a bamboo-handled handbag, a Jackie O handbag, and penny loafers. Their modern menswear combines classic European styles with impeccable tailoring. Women's apparel borrows menswear looks, such as suits and blazers, and updates them with plush fabrics or edgy silhouettes. Style.com described the brand's "sexy, show-offy" aesthetic as "rock chic deluxe."

New Delhi: The matrimonial sites will be soon required to follow the guidelines and the IT Act. The government wants them to make it mandatory, to authenticate users with true copies of identity and address proofs.
IT and telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today approved an advisory on functioning of the matrimonial websites, which will give details about the set of rules they need to follow to check abuse on their platforms, official sources said.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Ross Mandell is not going down without a fight and true to his word he has appealed his guilty verdict from his conviction from a 5-week trial last summer. Mandell has been free on bond and was to report to prison in Petersburg, VA on June 18th to begin a 12 year sentence but he filed a motion with the 2nd Circuit of Appeals to allow him to remain free pending his appeal being heard. On June 16th, the 2nd Circuit granted him a temporary emergency stay of his prison sentence and today it granted Mandell's motion to remain free on bail pending his appeal.
There has been no date set for Mandell's appeal to be heard by the 2nd Circuit but a motion filed by Mandell's attorney, Matthew Brissenden, asked that he be given until at least January 14, 2013 to prepare for the hearing.
Mandell's appeal is going to be primarily based on the Supreme Court ruling in the case of Morrison v. National Australia Bank. The argument is that the transactions that the government claimed were fraudulent during trial, happened outside the court's jurisdiction. Sky Capital related public offerings took place on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange, and not within the U.S. During the trial, Mandell and co-defendant Adam Harrington had their attorneys argue that Morrison, which restricted the courts jurisdiction to U.S. transactions, applied and that the case should be dismissed. However, U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty disagreed stating the Morrison only applied to civil litigation, not criminal.
Adam Harrington also appealed his conviction but reported to prison on June 18 to begin serving his prison sentence of 5 years. According to Harrington's lawyer, Michael Bachner, Harrington will be released from prison pending the appeal process as well.
The 2nd Circuit has sent Mandell back to judge Crotty to set bail conditions that are essentially the same as the ones under which he is living now (ankle bracelet, GPS transponder, homes of family, etc.).
This case will be watched closely by a number of lawyers as this decision could affect a number of cases. In June, a federal judge threw out a suit brought by a former General Electric employee who claimed the Dodd-Frank Act's whistleblower provisions protected him from being terminated for complaining about potential corruption at the energy giant's Iraq operations. The judge, Nancy Atlas, based her decision on the Morrison ruling that the actions in question had taken place outside the U.S.

(Post Nuclear Apocalypse) Male for Female SciFi Breeder Rp
October 15, 2014, 01:47:28 AM »
I am searching for a talented female role player to help me build this world. What I have in mind is a science fiction RP set in the near future�
Overview and Introduction to Castes
In 2050 Earth�s mightiest Superpowers resort to all out atomic warfare following the fall of the Russian Federation. Earth is all but completely decimated. The people that do survive live like feral humans in a barren wasteland. They exist only in small clans all over the world. Sixteen years after the catastrophic event an alien species of inter-galactic slavers known as the EGA find the decimated planet and begin a brutal process of colonization. These Aliens are humanoid creatures that sail through galaxies in search of raw resources they can extract and sell to other planets, as well as their most lucrative industry, the selling of enslaved sentient species. As their technology is nearly a thousand years ahead of Earth�s they have little problem taking over the planet. Their first order of business was enslaving all of humanity as chattel property and then implementing a caste system. There are four main classes in this caste system that are as follows�
: These are the elite of all classes, they serve as land barons and ambassadors of the EGA who reside in the upper atmosphere. They dress completely in the color orange. This group is wealthy but nevertheless is viewed by their alien overlords as chattel. They reside in �pairs,� male and female. They are permitted to own chattel property and gain �Grace� from their overlords by serving up babies to them, to be shipped out and sold across the universe. The Orange culture is a decadent one in which they live high in the lap of luxury and have every whim taken care of. Female Oranges are sterile as are the males, and the females are also eternal virgins. As they are property themselves they are not permitted to marry, but within their own Orange culture, a marriage is legitimized by adopting the first born male of a breeding pair, whom they own, as their heir. This class is also a highly educated class, and the only fully literate class.
: This caste is compromised of humans who are not sterile. They serve five main functions. (1) produce babies to be sold into slavery across the universe, (2) produce Green, and Gold caste members for Earth, (3) produce a male heirs for the Oranges, (4) serve as pets for their Master and Mistress, (5) older Purples that have reached breeding capacity are made into instructors that both indoctrinate and raise baby Purples to breeding age. Purples are also sold to breed in pairs. Purple male and females are paired at birth to produce the best possible offspring, they are raised and sold off together. Purples are also the only child bearing caste. This group dresses exclusively in purple,
: These are laborers that have proven to be so physically or intellectually apt that they are allowed to join an auxiliary army on Earth. This caste serves two main functions. (1) enforce the EGAs laws, (2) protect the colonies from terrorist threats. They are clad in golden EGA Tech armor.
: Greens are the lowest form of humans. They serve five basic functions. (1) laborers for resource extraction, (2) servants for Oranges, (3) pleasure slaves for Golds and low-level Oranges that cannot afford breeders, (4) These members of society also make up the merchants, traders, and small business owners, (5) finally prostitutes and entertainers make up the lowest level of humans within the Green caste. All members of this caste are only allowed to wear green clothing.
EGAs, as centuries old slavers have perfected the way in which species gestate. Through hormones, they can increase nearly any species normal number of gestations to 100 or more, they can also accelerate gestation with these hormones so that a normal pregnancy would only last a few weeks. The EGAs govern themselves in an egalitarian style, reporting to no one leader, but rather forming councils to solve particular issues. The EGA high council is democratically elected in a two party system among themselves and serves as the master council and final governing body on all Earth related issues. EGAs rarely visit Earth�s surface as the radiation would almost certainly kill them. They maintain and advanced arsenal of weaponry and have developed the capabilities to warp through space and time. EGAs are nomadic and travel in large Armadas that are spread out throughout the universe with no central base of operation. The City in the Sky is EGAs Earth base that hovers in the upper atmosphere. On few occasions Oranges are allowed to join them for rare celebrations and ceremonial purposes. A good Gold can make his way up to the status of Orange, at the age of 35. This is one of those rare celebrations where Oranges would be invited to The City in the Sky. By far it is much more common for Golds to fall back into the Green caste after 35 and become either merchants, traders, or small business owners.
Colonial Resistance Movement
There is also a fifth group of humans known as the Colonial Resistance Movement (CMR). The CMR was formed in the early years of EGAs colonization. It was composed of the last remaining intellectuals, generals, and scientists from the old regimes. It began in New York shortly after the nuclear holocaust ensued, or Event One, as the Human Survival Front. Once the EGAs arrived 16 years later they were galvanized into action. Many of CMRs members are clandestine, they hide among the ranks of the Greens, Golds, and even Oranges. Other members are completely off the grid hiding in a network of underground bunkers built by the U.S. Government to withstand nuclear war. CMR recruits and trains feral humans bringing them in to help invent, build, and maintain a network of cells that is globally fighting for the same cause, universal human freedom. CMR relies heavily on clandestine intelligence, sabotage, and misinformation, they are constantly being hunted by the Golds. Their leader is an 88 year-old man known only as the Eagle. His father was a founding member of the Human Survival Front. Under the Eagle�s guidance the CMR has expanded exponentially to include a global network of cells that has incorporated both seized EGA Tech, AmeriTech, ChiTech, and RussoTech weaponry. As CMR has little access to the natural resources on Earth they have been clever in augmenting the existing technology to run off of electromagnetic waves from the atmosphere. While highly sophisticated and numbering in 1.2 million members, they are overall outmatched by the EGAs.
Women in the Green and Gold caste are considered equal to men, Although none are merchants, traders, or business owners. Women of the Purple caste are equal to men as well. In the Orange caste women are considered lower than men in the social schema. They are also eternal virgins, and are not permitted to engage in penetrative sex.
Male traders, merchants and business owners make up the tip of the Green caste, while sex is irrelevant in the Gold caste as it is based on ability, sex is highly important in the Orange caste, where men serve as the ambassadors, and land barons for their EGA masters, and women simply serve as their �pair� roughly equivalent to marriage.
The Plot
This story would revolve (note it takes place in 2138, or around 74 years after colonization begins) a pair of Purples named Mallow and Lilac that are sold to a wealthy Orange pair, Master and Mistress Citrine. The Citrine�s desperately want an heir as it is seen as a way of legitimizing a union. They also want to climb the social ladder by providing their EGA masters with many babies. Master Citrine is an influential land baron that reports directly to the EGA high council and oversees massive amounts of resource extraction globally. The Citrine�s also maintain a large staff of Green servants, one of which named Absinthe, a young female, is a clandestine agent from the CMR. Master Citrine was careful in choosing his breeders, the slaves with the highest level of intelligence sell for the most, thus EGAs heavily reward Oranges for producing them in scores. Mallow and Lilac each posses an intelligence score of 225, an unheard of amount. Upon realizing the aptitude of the two Purples, Absinthe begins to vet them, and eventually recruit them to help with operation �Rising Phenix�. The operation is the most ambitious one Eagle has ever dreamed up. It requires two extremely capable pilots to fly an early Colonial Era EGA wing craft so that they can successfully deliver a payload of reclaimed nuclear weapons to the City in the Sky and peace, freedom, and justice can reign down on all.
If you managed to read the entire 1,400 words above, or at least most of them, it mean you are interested. So now what? Send me a PM so we can discuss any lingering questions, or so that you can provide me with suggestions and feed back.
Best regards,

The Townhouse Restaurant at Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor blends Scottish favourites with modern European dishes. The innovative dishes are crafted using fresh, local produce and can be savoured with an elegant cocktail or fine wine from the bar.
The Townhouse menu showcases traditional Scottish dishes, with gourmet touches and Mediterranean influences. Start with local duck egg with black pudding and cauliflower purée, or the exotic salmon and chorizo fishcakes with sweet chili and lime sauce. Main dishes are led by the very Scottish roulade of chicken with haggis, potatoes, and malt whisky sauce, whilst other enticing options include sustainable coley fillet with purple Shetland potatoes and chervil and chardonnay cream, and pumpkin tortellini with oyster mushrooms, spinach and parmesan sauce.
Amongst the tempting handmade desserts are raspberry and coconut shortcake, and lime and mint buttermilk panna cotta with poached lavender pear. Characterised by an informal atmosphere and subtle sophistication, The Townhouse Edinburgh is decorated in rich red and white, with dark wooden floors and sleek wooden chairs.
A short stroll from the castle and the cultural heart of the city, The Townhouse at Hilton Edinburgh is a 3-minute walk from Haymarket Train Station.

Mixed feelings about my visit. The afternoon tea was lovely but this was dampened by the fact the bar area was cold and draughty where we were seated. We shortened our stay. I was disppointed for my friend as i was treating her for her birthday.
Also asked for a coffee and had to pay an extra charge for this.
Would i return , not sure! -

Easy (newbie) Watts & Speaker Question
So I got a deal on 2 pairs of Alpine SPX177R component speakers, to be used in the front and rear of my VW Eos.
The specs say they'll take from 75 to 300 watts RMS. The amp I'm considering is the Alpine PDX-5 which delivers 4 channels at 75 watts RMS, and a 5th at 300 watts RMS (for a subwoofer upgrade in the future). So each of the component speaks would get 75 watts RMS. My questions are; With 75 watts being the low end of the speakers needs, will I be disappointed with their output? Is it better to hit a speaker with something in the middle of the Min/Max level? I await your expert opinions! TIA! Lash (I'm considering the Alpine amp because of the subwoofer upgrade option and 'cuz space is limited in the Eos. Also please don't turn this into a Soundstage/Rear Fill debate) |

Power handling means very little.
Whats the sensitivity of the speakers ? This will tell you how 'loud' they will sound with a given power input. EG; Speakers 87db/w/m driven with 1 watt of power will produce 87db. Speakers with 90db/w/m driven with 1 watt of power will produce 90db. See if I get this next bit right 90db is double the percieved 'loudness'. To get the 87db speakers to produce 90db, you will need 4 times the power, so 4 watts. EDIT, to make your 75 watt amp sound twice as loud, you would need to increase it too 300 watts. In a nut shell, 75 should be more than enough......... |

Re: Easy (newbie) Watts & Speaker Question
75W will be more than adequate for component speakers- should reach screaming levels if the rating of the amp is accurate. If the amp has built-in crossovers, which I suspect it does, high pass the components for around 80-100Hz, so they last longer than 2 years. 75W with bass pumping into them won't work, nor will it sound good. Let the subwoofer do what it does best, and don't expect it from the components.

Hi, 97dB is double the percieved loudness relative to 87dB. In other words 1 Bel = a doubling of percieved level. +3dB in level requires double the power, not 4 times. A 750W amplifier is twice as loud as a 75W amplifier. A 75W amplifier is twice as loud as a 7.5W amplifier. Quote:
http://www.abt.com/images/products/P...77r_manual.pdf 87dB/2.83V/1m comes out as 84dB/W/1m. Xmax for the woofer is 3.5 mm and its power handling is 40W RMS. So 75W to 100W is probably as high as you can go. As allways speakers can take very high unclipped peaks so very high power can be used with care, the downside being any carelessness can cause damage / expiration of the drivers. /sreten. |

75wrms is usually pretty loud. I know people have been running shallow subs in the side panels in back near the arm rest in other convertible cars. You may be able to run IB into the back seat like I do. I see they don't leave much room in the trunk with the top down.

Infinite Baffle or free air. You mount them in the rear deck, or you build a baffle sealed to the rear seat back opening and put them in that. Mine blows through the seat no problem, but all I left was the seat and took out the panel in the trunk. I sealed off my rear deck, works well and actually overpowers the 4 door speakers badly on a 5ch 700w amp. I have 4 12s in it. Just seal trunk off from car with some deadening or whatever as best you can, and if you make a baffle you have to mount it sturdy. I figure I need double the drivers for IB but went a little overboard on this one now I have to get my comps working better. Going to swap amps and want to try 2 15s instead, lighter ones, because the subs I have are rather heavy and put out plenty anyway. This way you have no box. For the room my 4 12s take I figure I could make a box for a single 10. With 15s I will have more amp room also, and still my trunk is near empty.

Isobaric is much different and involves a box, though I suppose you could mount one IB but I can't see how it could ever work. The key to IB is more cone area and isobaric is half the cone area. Isobaric is mounting two drivers in tandem, cone to cone, that work together. So basically you have one cone and two voice coils (twice the motor on a sub in essence). IIRC you can use half the box for same tuning, but it takes twice the power to run. So it is mostly for when you must have a tiny box. I hate small boxes and low efficiency so I've never built one.
IB is all about moving air and no box at all (trunk room!), the world behind the driver is its infinitely large box. It must be at least say double what a sealed would be but should be more or open. You can use aperiodic, that is just limiting the air movement behind the sub. Say you put a sheet of batting on a frame and mount it behind the sub, it will tend to slow the air and limit higher excursion. That will kill off some low bass. Over excursion is always the limit in IB as you have no box air to support the cone. However IB tends to roll off on the bottom anyway, so aperiodic is often not that useful for SQ. You can do the same thing by venting a sealed box with a filter of some kind, it lets some air out and loosens the driver up allowing a little more low bass. |

Wow! Was that a fast week for everyone else? It was here--fast and busy. Whew!
For Thanksgiving we headed up to my parents' ranch two hours away. Because it's such a long drive, I've only been there once in the last 3 years, and paid dearly for it later, so it has been a while. The ranch used to belong to my grandparents and is now a corporation between my mother and her twin sister and their husbands, and is now up for sale, so there's been a great deal of cleaning and sorting. Since I haven't lived there in over 20 years, anything I wanted of mine I've long since brought home, but I did find an old box that belonged to my grandmother that always had spools and small toys in it when I was a kid. Some of the spools are wooden, so I brought that and will clean it up. Originally she used it to carry bottles for the twins when they traveled. It's just one of those things that is totally worthless but carries fond memories. My mother gave me these:
which are two old curtains that were probably never used. We moved to the ranch when I was 4, and at that time there was a hired man named Bob who lived in the bunkhouse, and had been there much of my mother's childhood. He had a Dachshund, so my sister and I were immediately drawn to him because the first thing on our agenda was meeting all the "safe" animals on the ranch and what is more fascinating to a child than a weiner-dog? He died when I was still pretty little, but he was a nice man, and there's enough fabric for a couple table runners and maybe a nice bag.
We came back Friday, stopping at Joann Fabrics in Ontario for the Black Friday sale. I'm not sure I've EVER shopped anywhere on Black Friday, but that store on Black Friday is less of a nightmare than the Boise store at any time, and I was hoping to find more of the white tulle (found) and the glittery leaf print (didn't find), I wanted to pick up a bolt of paper-backed fusible webbing while it was 60% off, and I still needed two black prints for the wall hanging pattern I bought in Victoria:
They had THE most beautiful completed one hanging up, and we both really liked it, but ever since then I've been trying to line up pieces and supplies for this thing. It's more complicated than anything I've ever made, so I'm buying fabric in full yards because I figure some of it is going to end up in the blender. I think I'll be set to go after the holidays though. The only thing I might not have by then is muslin because I have almost gone through my stash of it. I'm going on a crafting buying-ban again on January 1, but rather than scramble at the end of the month, I might make allowances for a new bolt of muslin (seriously a bolt--I use it for everything) when I need it. Or maybe I'll order one before the end of the year.
There has been a definite increase in the fabric stash this fall, which you can blame squarely on these:
which I bought with some birthday money. I am fascinated by the color progressions, and have been padding out my fall and Christmas fabric stashes, as they are the only ones even remotely close to having enough colors to be able to do them. And, in case you were wondering about the sudden obsession with fusible webbing, Andy gave me these for my birthday:
and I pretty much want to make all of them. I'm sticking with table runners instead of quilts for a while--they're faster, I can learn quilting techniques on them, and I can do them as gifts. I could do quilts as gifts as well (and have) but the general lag time on them is about 5-10 years so far, so it's not working out well. I've decided that one either has to shop a lot OR have a large stash for quilting--it's one or the other. I can live with that. The fabric for clothes, however, would be a heck of a lot more useful as clothing, so I am currently flirting with the idea of the goal of 115 finished objects and 115 yards of fabric used up for next year. We'll see........
I'm hoping to finish decorating today, so I'll have pictures soon, but I did have to show you this:
Not only my very first table runner AND my first-ever quilt-type project, it might be the first thing I made after taking up sewing as an adult. It looks pretty good from a distance. I didn't actually quilt it, and it's so thin that either I ironed the daylights out of the batting by now or didn't include any. I have no idea. I also didn't understand the directions for the binding, so ended up just taking the 2 1/2 inch strips and not folding them, so on the back side I had to iron a quarter-inch hem onto it. THAT was a long process. But it was a learning experience, and is looking quite festive on our landing. And there are a few things on top of it now in case an actual quilter ever got the bright idea to pick it up and check my work..................:)

26 September 2012 Haiti's President Michel Martelly called on the United Nations today to ensure that the flame of hope for a better world ignited by the world body's foundation 67 years ago continues to burn brightly by ensuring the equality of all states, both large and small.
"We have learned from history that there was no justice or equality in international relations when each nation sought its own interests," he told the 67th General Assembly on the second day of its annual General Debate. "The creation of the United Nations lit the hope among the peoples that things could be different. We must not let that flame die."
"In any family in general, and in that of the United Nations in particular, there cannot be big powers and small, giants and dwarfs, but only equal beings who have interests to defend, opinions to advance on the basis of relations turned towards the future, relations bearing the stamp of freedom, equality, fraternity and the pursuit of happiness for all," he added.
President Martelly said his country, one of the world's poorest, which over the past has suffered from political instability, a devastating earthquake, hurricanes and cholera, is making progress as it seeks to emerge from the morass of problems besetting it.
"I can truly claim that the impulse has been launched and I do not doubt that we will be able to see the results in a few months or a few years time," he stated.
"But will these national dreams come to pass if the pledges made to help the development of countries like ours are not effectively realized, if all kinds of prejudices and suspicions are maintained towards those who are less endowed?" he asked.
The Haitian leader is one of scores of national leaders and other high-level officials who are presenting their views and comments on issues of individual national and international relevance at the Assembly's General Debate, which ends on 1 October.
President Martelly also met with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday. The two men discussed the current situation in Haiti, including political developments and its cholera epidemic, and the UN chief commended the President for his leadership in advancing reconstruction and stabilization efforts.
Mr. Ban called on the President to continue working closely with his Special Representative in Haiti on the further consolidation of the peacekeeping operation based there, the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). The pair noted that this process should go hand-in-hand with the strengthening of the Haitian National Police.
They also discussed the need to finalise the establishment of a permanent electoral council so that Haiti's long-overdue local and legislative elections are held in a credible and transparent manner.

When Samsung launches the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus smartphones on March 29, the team of virtual assistants aiming to scour your inbox and tidy up your digital life will get just a little bit more crowded.
Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana: Meet Bixby.
There's a new name in artificial assistants, but Samsung argues this one won't tell you dumb jokes or a weather forecast, nor will it look up facts for you online. This bright assistant is meant to improve your interactions with your digital life — not just your smartphone but your washing machine, your thermostat, your vacuum cleaner, everything. It's nothing less than a rethink of how we use our stuff.
Sure, those are bold words, but the head of research and development at Samsung Mobile Communications Business Group believes them.
"Philosophically, what we're looking at is revolutionizing the interface," Injong Rhee told Digital Trends.
A part of that means the rumors are true — there will be a dedicated Bixby button on the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
More: Samsung Galaxy S8 rumors and news leaks
But what does the assistant do? And how is it different from all of the other assistants that clutter our phones and our lives, listening in, chiming in, and chirping up to help us out? To find out, Digital Trends flew almost 7,000 miles to South Korea to talk natural language interfaces and machine learning and to answer the most vital question: Should you hand your virtual dayplanner to Bixby?
Planning the AI revolution
"After 10 years of smartphones, another revolution is waiting," Rhee explained. We were in a conference room in Digital City, one of the consumer electronics giant's office complexes in Suwon, South Korea, about half an hour south of Seoul.
Digital City is about two miles wide, spanning multiple office towers and residential buildings. It's as big as a prep school, and structured like one. There's broad boulevards, an open air plaza called Central Park (with piped-in bird sounds!), and a giant underground shopping and living complex that holds two fitness centers, relaxation zones, a Samsung store, drugstores and retail chains — even a Dunkin' Donuts.
About 20,000 people work in Digital City, most commuting in from nearby suburbs. They eat three meals a day at company dining halls, swelling the corridors from 11:30 to 1:30 for lunch, an army of people looking at cell phones, working on cell phones, planning new cell phones, shopping for cell phones.
Rhee has the good looks of a rock star — and a haircut to match. He's charming to listen to, engaging, and clearly passionate about Bixby, which he thinks will be an extraordinary tool. You see, machine learning powers the army of assistants that have popped up in recent years, from the super intelligent IBM Watson system that can outsmart chess grandmasters and dreams up its own recipes to less agile bots like Siri, the friendly assistant that lives in your iPhone and sets appointments for you, tells you whether you need a jacket, and finds information. While machine learning is enormously important, making it useful to consumers has been the challenge.
As Siri is to the iPhone, or Google Assistant is to a Pixel, Bixby will be to the Galaxy S8 — something baked in and key to the interface.
Forget Watson – that's a whole different class of system. Assistants aimed at consumers like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant (why no cute name, Google?) seem best suited for looking up information, Rhee argues: they don't really help you use your gadget. Think about the term "user interface": Bixby aims to put the "use" back in it.
"Look at the number of tasks current agents can perform," Rhee said. " It's about a hundred. We're looking at covering everything you can do with a touch command. This is a very ambitious goal."
Samsung's Gallery app can do 300 tasks, for example, and there are about 15,000 ways people can perform those tasks with their fingers using menus and so on. Bring in voice and it gets complicated. Rhee said the number of ways people can speak those commands "varies over millions," and today's assistants don't help us do the vast majority of things we'd like to with our phones, much less comprehend the millions of ways we could ask for help doing them.
What can Bixby do?
Here's the thing: This information is all based on promises from Samsung. The company couldn't provide us with a lot of concrete answers on what Bixby can or can't do, so we'll have to wait and see when it launches alongside the Galaxy S8.
What we do know is that as Siri is to the iPhone, or Google Assistant is to a Pixel, Bixby will be to the Galaxy S8 — something baked in and key to the interface. Bixby can perform informational query searches, but unlike those others its primary role is to help you use your phone.
More: Samsung is buying the new AI assistant from the masterminds behind Siri
Ask Bixby to find that photo you took last week of a pink umbrella, brighten it up a bit, and email it to Cousin Fester, and it'll make that all happen for you. Samsung calls it multimodal capability, and one of the clever things Bixby does is dealing well with problems in it. When a command doesn't contain sufficient information for the assistant to complete it, Bixby will still take the user as far as it can, rather than skipping the entire thing. It'll create that email and attach the photo, even if it doesn't recognize Cousin Fester as email@example.com.
But to do all this well, it needs to be able to understand natural language better than others. So can it?
"Yes with an exclamation mark!" Rhee told us. That remains to be seen, of course. While we spent a good deal of time talking with Rhee about the assistant, Digital Trends was not yet able to test the functionality ourselves.
At launch, there will be 10 preloaded apps that Bixby can work with, including Gallery, Contents, Settings, Camera, and so forth. Expect Calendar functionality in the second wave of Bixby-ready apps, which should come a month after the first batch, and more updates to follow on a similar timeframe. To use the service, you can simply speak to it ("Hi, Bixby!") as you can with other assistants, but Samsung thinks that's not the most intuitive way to use an assistant.
The Bixby button
Instead, Rhee believes all Bixby-supporting gadgets should have a button, whether that's a smartphone for walkie-talkie style communication — in which case there's no need to say "hi Bixby," of course — or a washing machine with a biometric fingerprint scanner you press before asking Bixby to run a heavy cycle with a low spin speed. Bixby could be everywhere, the glue that holds together your smartlife. Picture a button on the side of your remote control, Rhee said: push it to ask your phone to find that photo you sent Cousin Fester and throw it up on the television.
"It starts off with smartphones, but anywhere that has an internet connection and a microphone, Bixby can be used," he explained. "There's some part of the technology that we put in the device, but a lot of it lives in the cloud."
The interface
There are four different components to Bixby, Rhee explains: Voice Agent, Vision, Home, and Reminders. Voice agent is just what you'd expect – speak to Bixby and you'll get a response or complete an action. Reminders is another straightforward one. The other two are more complex.
Think about the term "user interface": Bixby aims to put the "use" back in it.
Vision is Bixby's ability to use a camera to recognize objects – a bottle of wine, for example: Bixby will surface several buttons with labels describing the item it sees (here's that machine learning again). Push the wine button and it'll tell you where you can buy that beaujolais and what it costs. Or it could divine points of interest, or recognize books, and so on.
If you think this sounds remarkably similar to Google Goggles, you're not alone. We'll see how Samsung develops this feature.
Then there's Bixby Home, which lives on the screen to the left of the home screen. Like the Google app (formerly Google Now), it has cards that contain information, as well as suggestions about things it knows you like to do, and Samsung plans to make it expandable and to let third parties work with it. It will know context, whether you're at work, or home. A short press on the button brings it up, as opposed to the long press that starts Bixby listening.
The Viv Labs connection
Samsung began working on Bixby in earnest about a year and a half ago, Rhee told us, but of course the company has had voice recognition and control around for years through the S Voice app. S Voice does the standard assistant stuff – it'll start navigation to take you home, or tell you the weather.
More: Amid scandals and setbacks, Samsung completes its biggest acquisition ever
"Based on our experience with S Voice, we seriously really considered revamping that, and really changing that philosophy and foundation behind this to make it much easier for people to adopt," Rhee said. " And that's when we started working on this, about 18 months ago."
Bixby can't do everything, and neither can Samsung – there was clearly no reason for the engineering team to reinvent the wheel. Google is really good at searching for stuff, for example, and Rhee's team is working on a smooth way to hand off a request from Bixby to Google. That's where Viv comes in.
"We're bringing Viv Labs to grow that ecosystem in a scalable manner," he explained. Bixby's been in the making for years, but the recent acquisition of Viv – a company formed by the people who created Siri – will help make it great. The Viv team didn't create Bixby, but some of the work they've done lately, notably efforts to make assistants expandable, will help distinguish this tool.
"Viv Labs is going to help out expanding into a third-party ecosystem," Rhee said. "to make it easier to expose functions and perfect the experience for third parties."
So what's with that name?
Why Bixby, you ask? It would be great if there were an interesting answer — if someone's uncle were Philip Bixby, or some guy saved Rhee's dog from drowning, and as he walked off, he looked back and whispered "Bixby."
A group called Design Center came up with the name, and pulled it from a shortlist of three, whittled down from a list of thousands. It's easy to recognize from a machine perspective, having the right number of syllables for hot-word recognition. It can be male or female, they say, and is more a last name than a first name. It'll appeal to millennials they think, a group that's very friendly to new technology. Samsung noted that it's also the name of a bridge in San Francisco, which is a little more evocative: "building bridges" between your gadgets and smart home and between machine and human and all that.
But before we get to the bridge, there's still a lot of roadway left to build. Maybe that's something Bixby can help with? Bixby, are you there? Bixby?

To my wonderful supporters---
Please accept my heartfelt appreciation to you for your enthusiastic and helpful support of my campaign for Lieutenant Governor. I am truly honored by your confidence in my abilities and in my commitment to working for the best possible future for the people of the State of Washington.
Most of the ballots are now counted, and it's clear I will not be one of the Top Two advancing to the General Election. I came in third in a field of 11 candidates. So near, and yet so far….. as the saying goes!
I greatly appreciate your assistance in enabling me to run a competitive campaign.
The campaign was really busy and, yes, I did enjoy it! It was energizing, inspiring, and certainly highly educational. I enjoyed traveling to so many parts of our beautiful state and engaging with such a wide variety of communities.
I especially appreciated the opportunities to strengthen and renew friendships and to form many new, wonderful friendships. Let us stay in touch!
I'm eager to continue to put to useful purpose all that I have learned---from this campaign, my past campaigns, and from my many public service roles: State Senator, State Representative, Thurston County Commissioner, President of the Washington State Association of Counties, Lacey Mayor and City Council Member, state level international relations participant, Adjunct Faculty at The Evergreen State College, state employee, and life-long active Washingtonian.
I deeply appreciate your sincere support. You made the campaign possible. Thank you !
P.S. If you come across any of our yard signs still on display, I'd greatly appreciate you taking them down. Let's Keep Washington Beautiful !
Please contribute metal or wood stakes to another campaign. Regarding the plastic signs themselves, I am advised that they are recyclable, in many areas, but not all. Please re-purpose to the extent possible, or otherwise dispose of them.
Hello – I'm Karen Fraser.
Presiding over the State Senate is the top duty of the Lt. Governor. This requires an evenhandedness driven by fairness, ethics and civility.
Being a senior member of the State Senate, I know the importance of having a Lt. Governor who guarantees full and fair discussion of issues and abides by our constitution, laws, and Senate rules.
That is my commitment to you: full and fair discussion of the issues facing Washington State in an environment of mutual respect and civility.
The Lt. Governor has another duty: stepping-in if the governor is out of state or becomes unable to perform his/her duties.
I have served Washingtonians during the terms of several Washington Governors. As you navigate this website, you'll see that I have been actively working on major challenges facing Washington State for many years.
I understand these challenges. I understand their local and statewide impacts. I will bring this knowledge, experience and commitment to the job of being your Lt. Governor.
It's also important to have more women in statewide office. There has not yet been a woman Lt. Governor. Surprisingly, since 2000, there have been only three women in statewide office. This is in spite of Washington State being a leader among states in advancing rights and opportunities for women.
I am a lifelong Washingtonian. I was born and raised Seattle, graduating from Roosevelt High School. I received two degrees from University of Washington, a BA and a Master of Public Administration.
After graduation from the UW I moved to Olympia and became actively involved in community life.
This later led to my election as Mayor of Lacey, Thurston County Commissioner, State Representative, and I am now a senior member of the State Senate.
I love living in Washington -- with its many peoples, diverse communities, and abundant outdoor recreation opportunities.
I have been active in hiking, mountain climbing, sailing, running--- and I have completed two marathons. I love the beauty, wonder, and richness of our amazing state.
I will work for a great future that benefits everyone in our state. I ask for your vote.

Seems most phones coming out have 480 by 800 or something, and the droid has a slightly different and bigger resolution of like 480 by 840 or something. The droid even has more resolution than the new evo 4. Can anyone explain why motorola made this choice and what benefits it offers? And why has no one else chosen it for their handset?
Wide VGA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 854×480 is approximately the resolution of anamorphically "un-squeezed" DVD widescreen video and considered a "safe" resolution that would not crop any of the image. It's called Full WVGA as it represent true 16:9 aspect ratio which can display High-definition video without cropping (i.e. full width, albeit with considerable reduction in size.) [1]. Droid does display your video correctly
Your post gave the reason why the DROID has that resolution. He is asking why the others do not. BTW, from that article, the N1 is capable of WVGA resolution as well.
I'm not sure why other phones aren't doing it... cost might be involved. N1 is capable of WVGA, but it is not 16:9 and will compress the video some.
I've been wondering about this too. The Droid is 854x480, but it seems every new Android phone is going with 800x480. That seems weird to me since 854x480 is true 16:9 widescreen. If you are showing a 16:9 movie on an 800x480 screen, will you get image cropping or black bars?
Some, but the 54 pixel difference shouldn't be a big deal. Is anyone only viewing 16:9 content on their devices anyway?

Christoph Wolff (Author, Harvard University)
Sign up for the monthly New Releases email.
Please enter a valid email address.
Finalist for the 2001 Pulitzer Prize in Biography, this landmark book was revised in 2013 to include new knowledge discovered after its initial publication.
Although we have heard the music of J. S. Bach in countless performances and recordings, the composer himself still comes across only as an enigmatic figure in a single familiar portrait. As we mark the 250th anniversary of Bach's death, author Christoph Wolff presents a new picture that brings to life this towering figure of the Baroque era. This engaging new biography portrays Bach as the living, breathing, and sometimes imperfect human being that he was, while bringing to bear all the advances of the last half-century of Bach scholarship. Wolff demonstrates the intimate connection between the composer's life and his music, showing how Bach's superb inventiveness pervaded his career as musician, composer, performer, scholar, and teacher. And throughout, we see Bach in the broader context of his time: its institutions, traditions, and influences. With this highly readable book, Wolff sets a new standard for Bach biography.
"A monumental work that must find its way into the library of every musician and every dedicated lover of music." — Isaac Stern
"It's unlikely that anyone will fashion a finer tribute to [Bach's] genius." — Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A magisterial biographical portrait…necessarily learned, but also user-friendly, helpful and entertainingly informative." — Chicago Tribune
"Likely to be the standard one-volume Bach biography for some time to come." — New York Review of Books
"A work of clarity worthy of its subject and his music." — Wall Street Journal
"Undoubtedly the most important Bach biography since Phillipp Spitta's life written over a century ago." — The New Republic

In the worst days of the financial crisis last year, mutual fund investors took money out of funds that carried any risk, including stocks and corporate bonds.
But now that stability has returned, investors are parking their money in more risky investments, such as emerging markets, commodities and junk bonds, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Those three sectors of mutual funds all place among the top 10 sellers so far this year.
But investors may be going too far in their quest for high returns, setting themselves up for major losses down the road.
With stock and bond markets recovering, investors are trying to recoup their losses from last year and ride the tide of booming markets.
"Some have said, 'Well, if we're going back in, let's take a real risk,'" Iain Clark, chief investment officer of Henderson Global Investors, told The Wall Street Journal.
In the first five months of 2009, investors put a net $4.9 billion into diversified emerging-market mutual funds, according to research firm Morningstar.
But experts warn of risk in this strategy.
"It's been the lower-quality companies that have done better," Simon Hallett, co-manager of the Harding Loevner Emerging Markets fund, told The Journal. "Emerging markets have probably overshot in the short term."
Other experts warn of danger, too.
"The risk you run, going from fear to greed so quickly, is that you'll run into a huge whipsaw," Mike Scarborough, president of Scarborough Capital Management, told The New York Times.
