Following the welcome news that Kate Middleton is officially pregnant and less than 12 weeks along, her royal husband, Prince William, has spent some quality time at the hospital where she is being kept. Middleton was brought to King Edward VII Hospital after experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum, a form of morning sickness, and it was only then that the Royal Family revealed that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting.
BBC reports that William spent Monday with Middleton at the hospital as she experienced her second day of pregnancy sickness. She is expected to stay in the central London hospital for several days. Hyperemesis gravidarum is said to be slightly more common when a woman is expecting twins, though the status of Middleton's child (or children) has yet to be confirmed.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," the palace announced in a statement. "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news."
The statement continued, "As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter."

OK...this one is gonna get me kicked out of the Met Monday club...it's soooo easy! Oh...wait!....you can't kick me out! I already know the secret handshake! lol You are looking at a picture of the sideboard in my dining room. It has looked just like this ever since Southern Living was selling those rooster candle holders.....maybe 4 or 5 years. No kidding. I don't change anything. At all. I get it the way I like it and it stays that way forever. I have glass on top of it because the staff likes to jump on it to get to the pony wall behind it.They wait to greet me at the door from that location.

Debbie, you are so funny! I tend to keep things the same way forever once I find something I like, so I completely understand! This really is beautiful, and you're right the touch of blue is perfect. And I love the yellow flowers whether they be real or fake. Can't have the staff eating the decor, right? Hugs, Kathy
ReplyDeleteWow Debbie, I think the rearranging bug is catching all of us. I use to never change a thing either and for way longer than 4 or 5 years. lol I love the new look, and the balls are just wonderful on the candlesticks. The yellow tulips are just great. Don't you love the white ironstone? It's just gorgeous and so cheery looking. I think you will have to change something else now, this looks great for a new look. Love ya, Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYour sideboard vignette is fantastic - I think the glass balls glued to the top of the brass candlesticks look great! But I have to tell you... I was shopping today, put a lovely milkglass/ironstone teapot in my basket and then, through the course of my shopping trip, talked myself out of buying it. Oh no!! I should have bought it!! Seeing your beautiful pitcher on your sideboard... I'm going to have to go back and get that teapot!! :-)
Victoria (one half of DeisgnTies)Hey Funny Lady, Great job with the balls/bowls & candlesticks. I'm still giggling too... I'm one of those people who gets bored with things so I have to switch it all around, usually with changes in seasons. I'm on a mission now too, I have 2 balls/bowls & I need MORE all because I saw your oh so full bowl full of balls/bowls! (Why are you calling them bowls???) ☺ Diane
ReplyDeleteLol!! Well I'm just like you Debbie! If I do it right the first time why would I need to change it....for say the next ten years? *winks* Embellish, mais oui! But change?...Mais non!! Lol!! However I do think your new changes look amazing! And poo poo on those who can't deal with fake...ahem... I mean faux flowers. I'd just kill all the real ones anyway, and they can't possibly want me to be a plant killer can they?*winks* The carpet balls on the candlesticks look perfect! What a great idea! Hmmm maybe a few very small changes are in order..... Vanna
ReplyDeleteMiss Debbie~ This is my first visit to your charming blog.... what a clever idea created by you and your staff.
By the looks of my posts it's a bit obvious my kitty provides my inspiration.
I too, adore all things Parisian. My sweet daughter in law speaks French fluently and travels to France. My dream is to go to Paris with her someday!!
Sweet Wishes,
SaraI love the balls on the candlesticks and since we have two cats, I understand the need to glue them! I think the splash of yellow from your faux flowers is beautiful and very French! DH & I have a mixed marriage - he hated faux flowers. I told him the day that I have fresh year round, I'll get rid of the faux. It hasn't happened yet!!!! LOL
Love your transformation! :D JewelDebbie, you are cracking me up! I think your new look is great. And what a find on that pitcher, wow! You just can't beat the clearance section.
I'm the same way, faux flowers it is mostly. I have a bit of a problem keeping anything green alive. I'll be sure to check back in 5 years to see if you've changed anything. ;)
~MichelleDebbie, it looks great! Your staff comments are so funny, boy, can I relate.
I have to say, I am on that that ironstone kick as well. I have been doing some serious hunting for it. And, I have not been so lucky.
The decorative balls look fantastic on those candlesticks, that was very clever.Hi Deb,Just look at you Design Diva! What a great job.You definitely have vision my dear.Love the bright yellow with the black and then adding the blue carpet balls makes it perfection and totally Debbie.I think now that you have started there will be no stopping you.Love what you did here it is so perfect for your lovely home, Hugs Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out great. The blue from the balls and the yellow from the flowers accent each other nicely. You also pulled in the blue from the curtains and from the plates and the platter on the opposite wall in the dining room to the sidbar which gives it good flow. The black peacock gives a great shadowing effect as it contrasts all the other colors. Wonderful - Steve, French Cupboard
ReplyDeleteYea! I think it looks great, Debbie. And I love the "antique" candle look... mine are notoriusly "antique," too! But I like that so much better than shiny. I think your vignette looks WONDERFUL, and I love your white pitchers. There is this putty stuff you can get from the hardware store, and it holds down fragile items on shelves. It's sort of a gummy sticky stuff (kind of like a putty), and I bet that would hold the balls down for you, too! Great job, and I'm so glad the bowl post inspired you! :-)
Sending love your way...
Sheila :-)Alas, things seldom change in my home until I receive a gift that I must find a proper place for. I lack my sister's designing eye so things usually end up at the closest location to point of use. In the case of decorative items, it usually comes down to wherever I can find a vacant space. At my age and with so many knick/knacks that gets harder each year.
I love what you did with this arrangement. I just learned a few months ago about carpet balls, and then promptly forgot everything that I read about them. The one thing I do know, and didn't have to read to find out, is that they are gorgeous.
Excellent post for me, made me think again about carpet balls. I'll have to Google the term again and try to remember what I read this time.It is so hard to keep up with everything with blogging you know? Everyone has such wonderful things to share..how is a poor girl to keep changing up everything every other day and looking for carpet bowls now! I love it. Your vignette looks wonderful. Those blue balls on those candlestix just do it! hmmmmm..now what shall I do tonight...carpet bowls..tassels...painting...spraying..needlework...whew.
have a lovely evening
JudiI ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!! I'm trying to express how much through MY CAPS!! LOL! I am going to steal, er borrow this idea too! Just love the contrast of the candlesticks with the balls. Did I say how much I loved this?!! :-)
I am soooooooo relieved to meet someone like me...when I figure out how I want something...I don't move it again! I figure I have found the best spot for it and then it stays that way forever. I friend of mine says I must hot glue everything down cause when I like it...I like it! LOL! Great post! :-) L~Debbie, you and your staff are just so entertaining! I love coming here. I think your new vignette looks wonderful, and I also think that it is suitable for Met Mon. Small changes can make such a huge difference, and this one really did. How clever to glue the "bowls/balls" on top of the candlesticks. laurie
This was awesome and I enjoyed your wonderful sense fo humor. I bet Shelia was honored your stole her great idea! LOL
Your vignette is lovely. I liked the first one also. I am wishing we had a Marshalls! We barely got a Hobby Lobby recently...:-) So really all is well.♥♥♥
I had to laugh because mine was the Met post that was reallys tretching the club rules:-)Debbie, this is my first visit to your blog and I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face! Not only did I enjoy your post but sitting here right in front of me on my coffee table are my blue carpet balls just like yours, sitting atop white egg cups, right next to my blue and white stripped vase full of faux yellow tulips!! My, we have good taste, don't we!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey French Lady that flips over plates (not literally) ;) I added the blurb on my blog about the GA Bloggers luncheon. I hope you don't mind, I left your email address on it for anyone that needs to RSVP, since I will be traveling alot these next two weeks. I am going to ask for the day off from my job so I can really enjoy the lunch! I shouldn't have a problem getting it off... As soon as I get a confirmation, I'll let you know! ;) I'm excited! ;) ~CC Catherine (Is shopping involved? Nahhh...just kidding) ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Girlfriend...
Oooh...I do love the new ironstone pitchers...can't believe you got that one for only $7.50...you made off like a bandit on that one! Hehe! They're absolutely gorgeous!!!
Now my friend...aren't you the creative one! I love your blue & white ball (or should I say bowl) project! They turned out fabulous and look absolutely perfect amongst your new white ironstone pitchers!!! Beautiful vignette!
I just had to go and checkout Ms. Magpie's post...it was so interesting, and I just love learning the history of things like this! Thanks for sharing, Debbie!!!
Hope you're having a terrific Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by...
Love ya,
ChariOoops...just me again!
I just wanted to put a "bug in your ear" or suggestion...maybe a little something to think about! Since you're an expert on the French language...I would love for you to do a "French Friday"! Maybe a short little post with a French word or a French phrase for the day...I'd love to learn French!!! Just a little suggestion for you to consider...hehe!!!
Love ya,
ChariDebbie, you are such fun! And you are super duper creative...I tend to get very set in my ways, so I can totally relate to the "changing every five years" method of operation! lol Your new vignette looks absolutely beautiful...I'm loving the white ironstone with the touches of blue as accents. Gorgeous!
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment! I appreciate my wonderful readers!... Debbie

If you're a web developer or planning on entering this line of work, there are a few things that you should bear in mind before you continue. Everbody knows, the very first impression is the better impression and thus your client's website must be excellent.
Utilize most of the house you have got
Yes, your internet site should not look too cluttered; but at once, there shouldn't be considered a large amount of white space either. For that reason, the best thing that you may do is make use of text, photographs and possibly even films to fill the available area.
So long as you make use of the appropriate padding and font size, the website won't appear too cluttered no matter just how much information you place on it. Typically, this content isn't planning to be your difficulty while just designing the website the way in which your customer needs it.
Responsive design will become necessary today
You need certainly to make certain that the web site you design is reactive so that it looks good on all display sizes. If you do not desire to create a sensitive website you must at the least create unique portable designs as today most users browse the internet on their phones and the first steps towards a small business deal also happen through their phones.
Beware of broken links
Well, this might maybe not be your problem, but if you wish to be an excellent net designer you need to be sure that the internet site you set up is ideal and doesn't have weaknesses whatsoever. Therefore, ensure that all the links on the site come in a good working condition and don't lead to 404 errors as this may be dangerous for the site.
Routing must look great and be easy to use
The navigation selection ought to be good and easy to use. There are various ways to get this done, so choose the way that might be most suitable to utilize. Frequently an overhead header menu is most effective, however, many sites would choose a sidebar menu too.
Website Research
One of the most critical facets of a site that some web developers tend to ignore is a site search option. You need to make sure that element is available as lots of people use it, although it may seem insignificant.
Use Google internet fonts
If you're searching for an awesome font for your website, it would be recommended to utilize Google internet fonts as they have an extensive variety and they perform most readily useful.

First of all ,good drawing and good soundtrack doesnt make a good anime.
First of all the story was meh ! I wasn't entertained by it at all.
why didn't the government or the police check what was going on in that fucked up prison ? the candy part was a bit creative but suddenly it seemed like they ignored it.
although I admit the story seemed epic at first !
The tournament thing was awesome but it didn't last for too long.
The are no deep moments and you dont get attatched to any character or feel sorry for them other than Shiro which she was an annoying *****
The drawing was good.
The intro song was really good and the soundtrack was good too ,no objection.
Well ,here lies the biggest problem ! The main character was such an annoying brat ! arnt they bored of the "time to get up after being slapped so many times" ?
and then comes that stop ugly ******!! (she is actually cute)
I mean come on !! she is the most cliche character of all ! that stupid/pet like/nice girl ! every scene on her was boring to death !
almost every character is cliche ! its like the writer picked them up from a other anime!
The annoying brat who defends his friends no matter how weak he is.
The stupid nice *****.
The tricky dude with long hair .
The evil psycho whom is responsible for all of this and loves toys or something else weird.
Oh ! don't forget the nice rebel leader who has a nice group of nice people with him !
At the end I really dislike this anime ,and its not the kind that I say "I know why you love it ,but its not my type"
its actually shitty. Thank you.
Did you even use those two round balls in your skull or couldnt they relay the message correctly to your "brain"?

The first two Content Drops are the first pieces of DLC for Modern Warfare 3 Elite members which have been released toady (24th January 2012). The release of these two pieces of content kick starts the 9 month DLC season for Modern Warfare 3 and the journey to the release of 20 drops in total over the season.
Content Drop 1 & 2 Release Dates:
Xbox 360 Elite Subscriber: 24th January 2012
PlayStation 3 Elite Subscriber: 28th February 2012
Xbox 360: 20th March 2012 (As part of a full map pack)
PlayStation 3: 19th April 2012 (As part of a full map pack)
PC: Likely not until April (As part of a Full Map Pack DLC)
With the new Call of Duty: Elite service that was launched alongside Modern Warfare 3 and the whole new Drop system you should check our article here for how it all works: http://www.callofdutymappacks.com/news/mw3-content-season-how-the-content-drops-and-content-collections-will-work-and-roadmap/
The first map is called "Piazza" and is set on the coast of Italy. Described as a "very vertical, chaiotic, route map" and designed for those who love to run around and gun people down at close quarters. A great map for tactical gameplay types in which you have to be fast and ready for anything. Being a very vertical map makes a change from what you usually see which is generally pretty flat so it'll make for some interesting and new combat experiences. Piazza is the idyllic Italian getaway that is anything but, where tight corners and branching pathways pose great risk at every turn. Close-range combat dominates in Piazza, where attacks from behind, above and below are an ever-constant threat.
The second map is called "Liberation" which takes place in Central Park: New York Manhattan. It's a map that many will recognise from real life as it is such an iconic location. The map is a vast, militarized landscape, ripe for long-range sniper and LMG fire, with mounted turrets on either end that lend power to anyone brave enough to expose themselves in exchange for deadly firepower. By the sounds of it, it's a great map for sniping so you'll definatley need to watch out! A direct message from the video which teased the map urged players to not "Run and Gun" in a map like this, this will be a welcome treat for players who aren't big fans of dual weilding two automatic pistols.
The two maps then clearly are very different in terms of how people like to play, Piazza is for those who like to "Run and Gun" with intense and close combat battles whereas Liberation seems much more open, appealing to snipers and those who don't favour the latter approach to playing in Modern Warfare 3.
These two drops / maps, alongside 3 other drops will be put into the first Modern Warfare 3 Map Pack and then released for non-premium Elite members at a later date.
How do I get it the drops?
If you are an Elite premium member then the next time you go into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer you will get a message saying that new content is available and then it will download it automatically. If not then make sure you visit the "Store" menu option where you should be presented with a message. The content will roll out slowly around the world so don't be alarmed if it doesn't show up straight away.
There is more detailed information on how to download it here for Elite members on this page.
Note: You can still become an Elite member after the Drops have been released and still get all the Drops that have been and will be released.
If you are not an Elite member then you will need to wait till the content is released as part of a map pack which will include 6 pieces of content. Then you can purchase it through the PlayStation Network, XBOX Live or Steam (For PC users).
To play the new maps: Once you've downloaded the new maps there will be a new playlist type called Elite Playlists for online Multiplayer, from which you can play your new maps. Also for survival mode, there will be an option called "The struggle continues with all new maps", select that and you're on your way!
All Elite Members: Free
Xbox 360: 1200 Microsoft Points (In full map pack)
PlayStation3: $15 (In full map pack)
PC: $15 (In full map pack)
Let us know what you think of the new maps in the comments section!

How to Make an Opera Aria Sing on the Piano
Thursday, October 24, 2013
On this edition of Reflections from the Keyboard, David Dubal digs deeper to unpack several more operatic transcriptions for the piano.
Some pianists know a good opera when they hear it and jump on the chance to transcribe it to the keyboard. The ones successful at it have written resourceful paraphrases, sensitive to vocal tessitura, striving to give the translated fragments a sense of nostalgia.
Gliding in and out of orchestrations, these transcriptions highlight some underplayed paraphrases and transcriptions of melodies from a few known as well as unknown operas. These interpretations allow the hands to saunter and ramble, or carry note-for-note melodic lines around the keyboard.
Among the examples heard today are versions by Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Henri Herz and others.
Gaetano Donizetti/Franz Liszt:
Réminiscences de "Lucia di Lammermoor"

Motorola Announces All-Digital Networked Set-top Box |
Home Theater News Cable-Satellite Receiver-DVR-PVR News | |
Written by AVRev.com | |
Thursday, 29 October 2009 | |
The increasing demand for networking capability from all consumer electronics has prompted Motorola to release the new DCX700 set-top box. Currently available to cable operators, the DCX700 is an inexpensive set-top that provides plenty of room for expansion.
Motorola's DCX700 is a low cost option for cable providers and offers a single 1GHz tuner that supports MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC services. It includes, of course, and HDMI output and decodes Dolby Digital Plus. The most exciting thing – potentially, anyway – about the DCX700 is that this otherwise unimpressive set-top can be configured with a MoCA home networking interface. The exciting new networking protocol which sends signals at up to 175Mbps over coaxial lines already existing in the home allows the Motorola DCX700 to act as a client for other compatible devices in the home. Whether streaming HD content from a centralized media server or a home PC, this is the kind of functionality we like to see in a set-top. Motorola is showcasing the set-top at the Cable-Tec Expo now. Expect cable companies to start offering it as an option later this year. |

Springfield College Springfield College--Buildings Power Plant Boilers Electricity Production Power United Electric Light Company United States Fuel Administration World War, 1914-1918 Power Plant Records Page 4 Archives and Special Collections Babson Library, Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts HISTORICAL NOTE Beginning around 1911, a power plant was temporarily placed south of what is now called East Gymnasium on the Springfield College campus. The temporary power plant was used to heat the two gymnasiums of Judd Gymnasia and the administration building as well as furnish power for ventilating and electricity for all of the school buildings. The temporary plant cost about $10,000 to work. However the Power Plant Committee wanted to move it near the shore of the lake on the south end of campus, and connect it to the newly proposed library building. At a cost of about $40,0000, it was believed that this would supply the entire property with heating, ventilating, lighting, and water (both hot and cold for everything besides drinking water). In April 1914, the Geo H. McClean Company, a group of heating and ventilating contractors, agreed to furnish and deliver services for a complete system of steam piping. During the summer months of 1914 the temporary power plant near the gymnasium was taken apart and equipment was moved to the shore. The new power plant was finished by September of 1914. Only one boiler had been necessary at the time, with most exhaust steam had been used for heating purposes, allowing electricity to be produced at a very low cost during the winter season. Of historical interest, is the severe coal shortage during 1918 due to World War I. The Fuel Administration asked every New England Consumer to fill out a questionnaire about their coal usage. International Y.M.C.A. College power plant did not show any losses from the use of the power plant, and was therefore allowed to continue to use coal during the shortage. Today, the Power Plant is still located behind Alumni Hall on the shore of the lake and is still working to provide heat to the campus of Springfield College. CHRONOLOGY 1914 Heating plant is located in a temporary space new the east gymnasium. 1914 Geo H. McClean Company agrees to furnish and service a complete system of steam piping and the new powerhouse 1914 September, New Power plant is completed. 1918 Coal shortage takes place during WWI, but the power plant is allowed to continue to operate. Power Plant Records Page 5 Archives and Special Collections Babson Library, Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts SCOPE AND CONTENT This collection documents the construction and maintenance of the Springfield College Power Plant. The collection includes a proposal to build the power plant that includes expected costs, some early reports on the running of the power plant between 1916-1918, inspection and maintenance records and correspondence, and some photographs of the exterior of the building. Of particular interest is some correspondence with the United States Fuel Administration during World War I that talks about coal restrictions brought about by the war effort. Also included are some documents regarding employee relations, including a document outlining the "Massasoit Association No. 2 of the National Association of Springfield Engineers (N.A.S.E.). There are also meter readings from 1916 that speak to energy usage of the college at that time.

Financial services secretary defends Hong Kong dollar peg
HKMA intervened in market on three occasions on Thursday
Related topics
Hong Kong has no plans to change its currency peg against the US dollar, the financial services secretary said on Friday, dismissing talk of the authorities rethinking policy after being forced into heavy sales of the Hong Kong dollar to curb its strength.
Chan Ka-keung, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, asserted Hong Kong's commitment to the pillar of its monetary policy during a Legislative Council panel discussion on financial affairs and housing that was available via webcast.
"We have no plans to change the Hong Kong dollar peg," Chan said in response to a question from a legislator.
The 29-year-old peg has come under pressure recently, along with other Asian centres, becoming favoured destinations for funds unleashed by major quantitative easing measures in the US, Europe and Japan.
During the past two weeks, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) sold a total of US$3.5 billion worth of Hong Kong dollars into the market via nine interventions to curb the strength of the local currency.
Established in 1983, and the last major change to the peg was in 2005 when the trading band was widened to allow the Hong Kong dollar to trade between 7.75 and 7.85 against the US dollar.
Under the peg, the HKMA is obliged to intervene when the local currency hits the upper or lower limit.
In June, Joseph Yam Chi-kwong, an adviser to China's central bank and a former Hong Kong Monetary Authority chief, suggested Hong Kong may want to consider ditch its exchange rate target, fuelling speculation that the peg might be abandoned.
However, most analysts believe the peg remains the most suitable system for Hong Kong for the time being, given the benefits of switching to another currency regime are unclear.
"We continue to expect the HKMA to maintain the integrity of the HKD peg and do all it needs to in order to keep the system intact," Paul Mackel, HSBC's head of Asian FX research, said in a recent report.
Many analysts expect the big change in policy will only happen when the yuan becomes freely convertible, in which case the Hong Kong dollar could be re-pegged against the Chinese currency.
Since it was adopted, the peg has survived a number of speculative attacks as well as regional and global financial crises, and authorities have continued to reiterate their commitment to the peg.
In the meantime, the most worrying aspect of the surge of funds into Hong Kong has been the effect on property prices, which have risen about 20 per cent in the first nine months of this year, with even small and medium-sized units climbing some 21 per cent.
Fearful of the social impact, the city introduced new measures to curb runaway prices last Friday, including a 15 per cent tax on overseas buyers and an increase of the stamp duty on short-term transactions.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) stepped into the currency market during New York hours on Thursday, its third intervention for the day, as the local currency repeatedly hit the strong end of its trading range.
It sold HK$2.751 billion (US$355 million) in Hong Kong dollars in the latest move, bringing the total injection for the day to HK$7.4 billion, data showed.The three interventions bring the total number of interventions from the HKMA in the past two weeks to nine.
According to Reuters data, the latest intervention will lift the aggregate balance – the sum of balances on clearing accounts maintained by banks with the HKMA – to HK$175.83 billion on November 5.
The Hong Kong dollar is pegged at 7.8 to the US dollar but can trade between 7.75 and 7.85 to the US dollar. Under the currency peg, the HKMA is obliged to intervene when the Hong Kong dollar hits 7.75 or 7.85 to keep the band intact.

Earthquakes in Southern California
There have been many earthquake occurrences in Southern California. This set of slides shows earthquake damage from the following events: Imperial Valley, 1979, Westmorland, 1981, Palm Springs, 1986; and Whittier, 1987. These events were all earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.9 or higher with damage estimates of one million dollars or more. Imperial Valley Earthquake of October 15, 1979. Epicenter 32.6 N, 115.3 W; depth: 7 km; magnitude 6.8; damage: $30 million; no deaths. The earthquake was felt over approx. 128,000 sq km. The worst damage occurred in southern Imperial County and northeastern Baja California where eleven businesses and two homes were destroyed. Four hundred forty businesses and 1565 homes were damaged. Although there were no deaths, ninety-one people were reported injured mainly by flying glass or by falling objects. The greatest single structural loss was to the Imperial County Services Building in El Centro. Non-structural damage included damage to bridge abutments that were cracked and roadbeds that shifted due to slumping or faulting. The agriculture industry incurred damage to canals and irrigation ditches, damage to subsurface drain tiles which were disturbed by the movement along the Imperial Fault. The worst damage incurred by the agriculture industry wasto the All-American Canal which brings Colorado River water into the Imperial Valley. Ground shaking caused the collapse of levees on both sides of the canal along a 13-km stretch of the canal east of Calexico. Extensive lateral slope failure occurred along this and other canals. In some places canal banks settled by more than 1 m. Westmorland Earthquake of April 26, 1981. Epicenter 33.1 N, 115.6 W; depth: 4 km; magnitude 6.3 ML(B); damage: $1-3 million; no deaths. Twelve buildings in Westmorland were severely damaged, ten beyond repair, and an additional 30 sustained minor damage. Seventy percent of the town's 900 homes (many of which were built of adobe and brick) were damaged, and five homes were condemned. Six mobile homes were knocked off their foundations and nine homes sustained minor damage to foundations, porches, and walls. Electrical service was interrupted for onehour and the water supply was interrupted for 10 hours. The sewage plant sustained an estimated $40,000 damage. Total damage was estimated at $1.5 million. Subsidence was reported on several rural roads in the area. Liquefaction caused scores of "mudpots," and oozing soil in nearby fields. One country road west of Westmorland collapsed, producing a 2-footdrop-off. In rural areas $100,000 in damages was incurred when unreinforced, concrete-lined irrigation canals were broken. Palm Springs Earthquake of July 8, 1986. Epicenter 34.0 N, 116.6 W; depth: 10 km; magitude 6.0; damage: $4.5 million; no deaths. At least 29 people were injured and some damage occurred in the Palm Springs-Morongo Valley area. Landslides ccurred in the area. The quake caused serious damage at the Devers substation of Southern California Edison Company. Some residences in the Whitewater Canyon area were badly damaged. Damage from this quake was approximately $4.5 million. Minor damage occurred at Angelus Oaks, Desert Hot Springs, North Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and Yucca Valley. The quake was felt throughout much of southern California and in Las Vegas, Nevada, Lake Havasu City, Arizona and in the northern Baja California area of the United States and Mexico. Whittier Narrows Earthquake of October 1, 1987. Epicenter 34.0 N, 118.1 W; depth: 11 km; magnitude 5.9; damage: $358 million; 8 deaths. At 7:42 A. M (Pacific Daylight Time), on October 1, 1987, a fault located about 11 km below the surface and 20 km east of downtown Los Angeles, California, began to rupture. The fault was an extension of the previously identified Whittier fault. The resulting earthquake caused about $358 million in property damage and the loss of 8 lives. Severe damage was confined mainly to communities east of Los Angeles and near the epicenter. No severe structural damage to high-rise structures in downtown Los Angeles was reported. Non-structural damage did occur, however. In Whittier the most severe damage occurred in the "Uptown" business district. Similar damage was observed in the old downtown section of Alhambra and in the "Old Town" section of Pasadena. These areas had high concentrations of unreinforced masonry buildings. Residences which sustained damage usually were constructed of masonry, were not fully anchored to foundations, or were houses built over garages with large door openings. Many chimneys collapsed and in some cases, fell through roofs. Wood frame residences sustained relatively little damage. Damage often occurred around large windows. Light fixtures and suspended ceilings fell in many buildings within a 10-km radius of the epicenter. A student at California State University, Los Angeles was killed when the connectors for a precast concrete fascia panel failed and the panel fell two stories crushing her. Damage was incurred on a bridge at the interchange of I-605 and I-5, where the columns in the center were severely damaged.

Myth, Mythology Phoenicians Isis Egyptian Goddess |
Isis Egyptian Goddess The Egyptians and Phoenicians had such a close and warm relationship that the venerable Isis and Osiris legend of Egypt included a trip by their queen, the Egyptian goddess Isis, to Byblos in Lebanon to seek help in time of need. It began when her husband -- the god Osiris, who was also the king -- was killed by his brother Seth. The body of Osiris was sealed in a chest and thrown into the Nile River. The rest of the story is told to us by Plutarch, the Greek biographer. Isis on [hearing] the news, sheared off one of her tresses, and put on a mourning robe, whence the city, even to the present day has the name of "Copto" (I beat the breast). . . . She learnt by inquiry that the chest had been washed up by the sea at a place called Byblus [Byblos], and that the surf had gently laid it under an Erica tree. This Erica, a most lovely plant, growing up very large in a very short time had enfolded, embraced and concealed the coffer within itself. The king of the place being astonished at the size of the plant, and having cut away the clump that concealed the coffer from sight, set the latter up as a pillar to support his roof. They
tell how Isis having learnt all this by the divine breath of fame, came to
Byblus, and sitting down by the side of a spring all dejected and weeping
spoke not a word to any other persons, but saluted and made friends of the
maid servants of the queen, by dressing their hair for them, and infusing
into their bodies a wonderful perfume out of herself; when the queen saw
her maids again, she fell a longing to see the stranger, whose hair and
whose body breathed of ambrosial perfume; and so she was sent for, [and]
becoming intimate with the queen, was made nurse of her infant. The
king's name they say was Malacander, herself some call Astarte, others
Sooses, others Neinanoë, who is the same with the Greek Athenais. Isis
is said to have suckled the child by putting, instead of her nipple, her
finger into his mouth, and by night she singed away the mortal parts of
his body. She turned herself into a swallow and flew around the pillar
until the queen watched her, and cried out when she saw her child all on
fire, and so took away the boy's immortality. Then the goddess,
manifesting herself, asked for the pillar of the roof, and having removed
it with the greatest ease, she cut away the Erica that surrounded
it. This plant she wrapped up in a linen cloth, pouring perfume over it,
and gave it in charge of the king; and to this day the people of Byblus
venerate the wood, which is preserved in the temple of Isis. Plutarch
Morals She took the body of Osiris back to Egypt where, according to legend, he went on to become god of the dead and lived in the underworld. His son Horus defeated Seth and became god of the living and protector of the pharaohs. This relationship between the Egyptians and the Phoenicians of Lebanon continued for 3000 years. Since Egypt was almost entirely without wood, the strong, fragrant cedar of Lebanon became prized in the land of the Nile. It was used for burial crypts, temples, and construction of all kinds. Their trade lasted from the First Dynasty until the coming of Alexander the Great in 332 BC, as revealed by evidence still visible in Egypt and Lebanon. These interactions give us remarkable new insights into Egypt and its many dynasties, seen from the point of view of Phoenicians who were there so often during those many years. This unique look into Egypt's history is experienced throughout the book Phoenician Secrets: Exploring the Ancient Mediterranean.

Ortega widening plan moves ahead
A plan to widen Ortega Highway to four lanes on a stretch of San Juan Capistrano took a step ahead Tuesday night as the City Council voted 4-1, with Councilman Derek Reeve dissenting, to authorize a grant application with the Orange County Transportation Authority to widen the two-lane highway between Calle Entradero and the eastern city limits. The plan is to alleviate what city staff calls a "bottleneck situation."
The application seeks $1.05 million in grant funding, with $450,000 in matching funds by the county or the developer of Rancho Mission Viejo, which will add 14,000 homes east of San Juan Capistrano. The city is trying to facilitate a funding plan since the project primarily would benefit residents and visitors there, according to a city staff report.
Reeve said he doesn't want the city to be the lead agency on the project since the highway is a state route.
The staff report, from interim Public Works Director James Ross, says the city won't proceed without the grant.
Councilman Sam Allevato called the two-lane stretch of highway a hazard that should have been addressed long ago.
Allevato and San Juan Capistrano resident Mike Johnson argued over Allevato's assertion that his support for the widening is not linked to his support of Rancho Mission Viejo. The development's executives donated to Allevato's council re-election campaign last year.
Meanwhile, San Juan Capistrano will get some help from the Transportation Authority for public outreach efforts during the I-5/Ortega Highway interchange project that is expected to begin this month.
The city's Economic Preservation Committee, established last year, had requested, but not received, financial assistance for local businesses from the California Department of Transportation. The department is heading the $86.2 million interchange reconstruction. Caltrans put up a few banners, but those are intended to promote the project, not the city, a city staff report says.
The interchange project is expected to result in increased traffic capacity at what Caltrans calls one of the county's worst chokepoints. However, it also is expected to limit access to businesses in the area and slow travel times during the two years of construction.
A letter from Orange County Supervisor Patricia Bates says the OCTA has been authorized to spend $108,000 for project outreach during the period of construction. The city won't get the money, but the OCTA will take recommendations from the Economic Preservation Committee on how to spend it. The suggestions will focus on promoting San Juan Capistrano while the interchange project is going on.
The committee made several recommendations at a meeting in January, including:
•A welcome banner over Ortega Highway between the Cedar Creek Inn restaurant and Mission San Juan Capistrano;
•A welcome banner on the east side of I-5 at Ortega Highway and Rancho Viejo Road;
•In-town directional signs;
•Decorative lighting downtown along Ortega Highway and Camino Capistrano;
•A movable kiosk for marketing purposes;
•Ads for TV, print, radio and movie theaters; and
•Minishuttles and promotional bus and fence wraps and newspaper inserts.

Of Course Spencer Pratt Has To Pipe In About Bruce Jenner
Wait- a way to get into the limelight for two seconds? Spencer Pratt is IN!
The Hills alum talked to US Weekly at the fourth rung of hell- er, I mean the Reality TV Awards on Wednesday, where he discussed Bruce Jenner's transition from male to female and in true Pratt form, made sure the media knew he knew what was up the WHOLE time.
"I did watch Bruce's special [with Diane Sawyer]," I was pretty aware of the situation for like, the last ten years, you know," he told Us. "I knew there was something going on, you know, years ago, certain things…"
Not surprisingly Pratt was not keen on telling US Weekly any more specifics, but he did want to note that he talked to his brah Brody Jenner about it because, you know, brahs talk about this stuff.
"Yeah, Iââ¬â¢ve talked to Brody about it! Itââ¬â¢s all great. Heââ¬â¢s very excited… supportive!" He added that he was throwing his full support behind Brody and of course, Bruce. "He can do whatever he wants," he told Us, while fembot Heidi Montag chimed in: "We support the pursuit of happiness!"
And the next thing the two were DYING to talk about aside from gender politics and the role of the media? REALITY TV, of course:
"We love reality TV," Montag, 28, noted. "Itââ¬â¢s hard being on reality TV now! Itââ¬â¢s like, so competitive and cut-throat and crazy. Itââ¬â¢s gnarly. But we love Love & Hip Hop, we love Party Down South, we love love Real World/Road Rules Challenges, we love Total Divas, we loveââ¬Â¦"
"Kardashians," her husband continued. He also spoke about what he likes about the genre. "Iââ¬â¢m not complaining, but in a perfect world, we could just watch reality TV all day long," he told Us. "So much more fun watching than being on reality TV."
Yes, in a perfect world you two would be watching reality tv all day, so you'd be too occupied to give ridiculous interviews.

A distant quasar's brilliant light
The arrow in this image, taken by a ground-based telescope, points to a distant quasar the brilliant core of an active galaxy residing billions of light-years from Earth. As light from this faraway object travels across space, it picks up information on galaxies and the vast clouds of material between galaxies as it moves through them. The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope decoded the quasar's light to find the spectral "fingerprints" of highly ionized (energized) oxygen, which had mixed with invisible clouds of hydrogen in intergalactic space. The quasar's brilliant beam pierced at least four separate filaments of the invisible hydrogen laced with the telltale oxygen. The presence of oxygen between the galaxies implies there are huge quantities of hydrogen in the universe.

I finally got my hands on a DFG-1394 Firewire convertor and now have the option of using a non-dv/non-webcam camera for computer vision/realtime video etc…
So rather than a Firewire camera, it can use analogue RCA's feed into the DFG-1394. My main criteria is that is needs to work well in low light and be reasonably compact if possible.
Currently I am looking at the WATEC WAT-250D, but is it quite pricey. http://www.watec.net/english/color/wat_250d.html Others here: http://www.watec.net/english/c_top.html
Has anyone had any experience with similar cameras?
Thanks for your help!

text: Sony Reader Daily Edition Kindle Fighter Coming Like, Nowmatt buchanan8/25/09 9:30amFiled to: Sony ReaderReaderereaderEbooksBarnes & nobileSony12EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We're at a press event for a new Sony Reader something. Sony just announced impressive pocket readers (and a new format) a few weeks ago, so we're guessing they're gonna make good on finally going wireless. Update: Oh look. Update 5: It's about "multiple devices, multiple stores." This is cool: The eBook store will now have a Library Finder page, where you type in your zip and it'll take you to local library, where you can check out books from your library electronically. Books will expire in 21 days. That's pretty great, I have to say. Advertisement Advertisement Also, more book stores: Net Gallery, BooksOnBoard, Powell's Books, American Booksellers. Where's B&N?Update 4: New Sony eBook Library software (3.0) for Mac and PC. Okay guys, stop teasing.Update 3: We're starting, obviously—they're talking about access and content (drag and drop). Access, so far, means Sony Readers in 8,000 locations, not 3G. Sponsored Update 2: First part of the announcement is kind of a dud—the free content from the New York Public Library will be available to the public on Sony Readers. Wooooo. Update: Sony's not holding back too much pre-conference—we can see a picture of the device—so we can make a few solid guesses. First, it's called the "Daily Edition" so some kind of newsreading abilities seem like a given. And Sony's strategically showing just the back of the device, which just happens to have a fair few markings, including a telltale FCC certification, that implies some kind of wireless connectivity. Just like we thought. Since it's called "Daily Edition," we're guessing there's some newspaper action going on as well, and a bigger size than "pocket" to make it more "newspaper-y." (Which you can kinda tell by the photo—since the pocket readers are 5 and 6 inches, we're guessing Daily is 7-9 inches.) RSS maybe too? Either way, it looks like it could be the first Sony Reader to take on Kindle where it's strongest, wireless content delivery. Earlier: Aaaaaand, since Barnes and Noble's inking ebook store deals left and right, we wouldn't be real shocked if some Barnes & Noble was in the cards to go with that Kindle-like wireless promise from a weeks ago: "As announced earlier, we will be bringing a wireless product to market. The particulars of 'when' and 'how much' will come later. Wireless is important and wireless is coming from Sony."I mean, Sony has its own store with oh-so-many Google books, but if Sony and Barnes & Noble are serious about taking on Amazon—and oh, presumably they both are—a team-up makes the most sense to us. Some sexy new hardware wouldn't hurt, either. The event kicks off at 10:30, so stay tuned.Reply12 repliesLeave a reply

Author | Joseph, Dawn N. |
Keywords | University of New Orleans. Honors thesis. 2006.; University of New Orleans. Dept. of Film, Theatre, & Communication Arts. |
Abstract/Introduction | What is beautiful? Can beauty be defined? Is there a standard by which one may compare and/or contrast beauty in order to declare what mayor may not be seen as beautiful? If a sure fire definition of beauty does exist, what type of characteristics does this beauty possess? Does this beauty have deep brown almond shaped eyes and a wide pug nose? Does she have plump full lips and wide curvaceous hips? Is her backside round and are her thighs thick? Is her hair tightly coiled, short, and wavy? According to the millions of images advertisements use to symbolize the epitome of beauty daily, these are not the features that represent great American beauty. Page after page, commercial after commercial, and pop up after pop up we see advertisements that contain images which are not that of Black beauty, Black women, African American beauty, African American women. |

Vedic Astrology Horoscope KT Astrologer
Your debt problems would have controlled in the last 4 to 6 months. You would be little happy with your financial situation. You would continue to do well for the next 5 months that is until July 2016. You could pay down / off more debts and start building savings. Even though you could see excellent revovery until July 2016, things may get much worse from Sep 2016 onwards since Jupiter is going against you! Rahu on yoru 7th house and Ketu on your Janma Sthanam will amplify your financial problems. Stay away from stock market completely because Saturn on your 10th house, Rahu on your 7th house and Ketu on your 1st house, can create only financial disater. Since Jupiter is in good position, people running favorable maha dasa can do well between May and July 2016. So it is clear that you need to have strong natal chart along with favorable dasa and bukthi peiod to play in the stock market. As long as, you stay at the current level with respect to your finance, that would be a great achievement.

I bounced back and forth on deleting this photo, but it has some elements I like. I shot it on a foggy morning right after a good snowfall just a couple weeks ago and so I'm emotionally involved.
So PLEASE be honest with me. Should I keep it or toss it??? I know Karen, Jessica and probably Sinbad's human will tell me how they really feel but I would like honest critique from the rest of you too.
