I plan parties in the Murfreesboro/Nashville area and I invite you to contact me for your own parties and special events. I'd love to be involved!
____________________________________________________________________________________What little girl wouldn't be thrilled with this birthday party!? Inspired by Paris, lavender and some beautiful damask thrown in, this party is striking and has incredible details!
Click on the photos to see the details up close.
The main table featured a candy buffet. I'll go on record as saying, as I have many times, that the overall look is enhanced 100 times by adding a matching backdrop. Use paper, fabric, a sheet.. something that ties in your color scheme because let's face it, most people do not have a wall that matches their party concept.
This party, by Autumn, features this beautiful Eiffel Tower replica that she MADE by using dowel rods. Wow. I love the silhouette of her daughter and the Eiffel Tower suckers in the milk glass.
handmade cupcake toppers featuring the Eiffel Tower & chandelier images along with her daughter's name and age, plus her daughter was given the top cake to enjoy by herself.
Lavender cotton candy via Kroger. As Autumn warns, cotton candy melts quickly in open air, but wow, is it beautiful on the table before doing so!
Moving on to the drink table featuring custom straw flags and water bottle labels The straw flags say "quench" in french And beautifully monogrammed cookies!
Head over to Autumn's blog to see more. She has great tips and tutorials on how she put together this beautiful soiree'!
This would also be a great idea for monograms or create an easy dessert in your team colors for tailgating!

But for shots when the film's human characters interacted with them high in the trees, the brachiosaurs were brought to life with complicated animatronics created by Stan Winston Studios. Advertisement And while you normally only hear about an actor's performance in a film, animating the brachiosaur actually required six puppeteers in total—controlling everything from the dino's tongue, to its eyes, to its jaw—who had to coordinate their performances to ensure the creature had lifelike and believable motions. And like actors, it required plenty of rehearsals to get everything just right before they got on set.Reply20 repliesLeave a reply

Migrating From BlackBerry to Android
Finally jumping ship, huh? For better or for worse, you're not alone: If market reports are anything to go by, Android phones have carved out about three-quarters of BlackBerry's market share in just a few years.
Before you begin migrating your life from your BlackBerry to your new Android device, I'd like to review the main difference between BlackBerry and Android hardware. All BlackBerry devices have keyboards, but only some models have touchscreens; on Android it's the opposite, with every Android device sporting a touchscreen but fewer and fewer coming equipped with keyboards. Although most people seem to have gotten used to typing on a touchscreen, I'm not one of them, and if you aren't either you might want to look at our collection of the best smartphones with a full QWERTY keyboard for assistance in making a purchase.
Setting Up Email
Now, moving on to software. First--and probably most important for a majority of BlackBerry users--you have to set up your email accounts on your new Android device. Google really wants you to use Gmail, and the majority of Android phones are designed to reflect this, with a friendly home-screen Gmail icon that needs only your username and password to be effectively configured.
If you don't already have a Gmail account for personal email, by all means make one--it's a great service, and you're going to need it anyway to sync your Outlook calendar. If you already have a Gmail account, you may want to consider persuading your IT department to forward all of your business mail to Gmail automatically; many companies balk at this notion because they'd rather not have their mail travel through Google's servers, but the fact is that you could do a lot worse, and anybody who can arrange this option is rarely unhappy with it.
If you decide not to go that route, you'll have to use the alternate email application installed on Android phones. Depending on your version of Android, this application may be called 'Email' or 'Mail', but it'll certainly be present; open your App Drawer (the scrolling list of all the apps that you have installed), and take a look. While the setup options for the Email app seem simple (and they actually are, if you're using them to configure a common email address such as one from Yahoo), you'll probably need some technical information from your IT folks to configure a corporate email server. If your office uses Outlook for mail on your desktop PCs, you likely have a Microsoft Exchange server. Microsoft provides some good, straightforward instructions for configuring Exchange email. The only information you'll need that you might not have already is your email server name, and you should be able to find that information by clicking Help, About in Outlook and checking under the 'External POP Settings' line. If the setup process asks whether to use a secure connection and to accept any SSL certificates, it's a good idea to say yes to both. Input the necessary information, finish the setup process, and you should be all set.
This screenshot shows the generic 'Email' app in the bottom-right corner of my App Drawer, with the App Drawer icon (unlabeled) in the bottom left.
Importing Contacts and Calendars
Next, you should import your contacts and calendars. The easiest way to do this is to go to http://m.google.com/sync on your BlackBerry device's browser; this action will automatically install the software to begin syncing your contacts and calendars with Google's cloud. Once the Google Sync app is installed, open it, input your Gmail account details, check the app settings to ensure that both Contacts and Calendar are checked, and press Sync Now. If you don't intend to keep using the BlackBerry, you can go ahead and power it down for the final time after sync has completed, as you won't need it anymore. You can and should also install the desktop version of Google Sync so that your new phone can remain automatically synced to your Outlook calendar--no docking or wires needed. Once this sync is complete, open the Calendar app on your Android phone, and see what you think!
Google Sync on BlackBerry
Acquiring Apps
Finally, you're going to need some replacements for your favorite BlackBerry applications. If you're interested in handling your office documents on the go, check out our basic guide to managing documents on your Android phone. You might also like the Evernote app for keeping track of memos and automatically syncing them to a desktop computer. Unfortunately, you can't use BlackBerry Messenger on Android, but you can install Skype from the Google Play store (the equivalent of BlackBerry App World); Google also provides its own replacement, called Talk, which automatically makes you available for chat with anyone you've corresponded with via Gmail. If that doesn't sound like something you want, just open the Talk app, go to the Settings menu, and uncheck Automatically sign in.
You should try to use your Android phone on wireless networks when they're available, such as at home, in order to save on data consumption and battery life (if you weren't already in the habit of doing so with your BlackBerry). On most Android phones, the Wi-Fi configuration is somewhat unhelpfully buried under Menu, Settings, Wireless and Networks, Wi-Fi Settings (where you'll probably want to uncheck Network notification so that your phone will stop shouting about new networks being available). It's easy to set up, though: Just click on the network you want, and enter the password.
After that, all that's left is for you to get used to the Android interface. You'll probably find that it's quite nice--tapping and dragging are both very intuitive, and judicious use of the Back button at the bottom of your device will help you speed through menus. To access the notifications at the top of your screen (one of the best features of Android), simply drag them down and tap them individually.
Congratulations on your move, and good luck!

A game that was totally under control heads to a shootout:
What a nightmare season!
Pacioretty: Save
Cullen: Save
Heatley: Save
Bourque: Save
Setoguchi: Oy!
Some of you are always quick to rush in to Price's defense after he commits a mistake of stupid proportions. At least he made up for it in the shootout this time.
Richard R
Yes he made a mistake, even Dryden, Roy and Brodeur did/does that from time to time, it's just now it's thrown under a microscope for everyone to see!! For all the nice plays he makes he's bown to make a bad one!! It just seems to me that when he does do it the D most often fail to bail him out!! Happens with a young D and they are young and inexperienced, but they will learn!!
With the instant success of Goon, Peter Jackson has decided to try his hand on a new film about the pre-historical and ancient origins of hockey. He'll be using a little know variation of a well known fantasy tale.
There and Tank Again: The Habbit – by Bilbob Baggains
Price's save % and GAA are virtually the same as last year. No PP except for tonight when they were great. Yeah balme him for 4 goals scored in the blue. No d-men around. Idiots.
Mr. Biter
No Guts No Glory
You don't have to balm him, Biter.
I'm sure he can afford his own balm.
Could not figure out your response till I saw my spelling mistake. Blame him does sound much better. Never be said that Mr. Biter is the best speller on this site, but that Idiot Dude has got my blood boiling and I had another stiff Rum which makes the spelling even worse.
Mr. Biter
No Guts No Glory
Anyone blaming Price tonight, should really try to improve their hockey knowledge.
Hockey knowledge says that, under most circumstances, you don't throw a puck up the middle of the ice when you're trying to preserve a lead.
Richard R
You OBVIOUSLY don't have enuff hockey knowledge
He gave up the puck three times in the last 4 minutes mb. Trade him. I used to think he just slept too much but he's proven tonight he's also quite stupido.
Who is Morgan Ellis that Habs signed to a 3 year? Is he anywhere near as good as MAB?
Absolutely! You mess with our goalie, even if you're just digging out the puck, and you're gonna need to Google an orthodontist in the morning!
Price and Pacs have lapses in judgement. As for Pacs you play until a whistle and if the call is missed so be it but he essentially pulled the chute on that play which shows a complete lack of maturity on his part and is actually kinda selfish. He was being hooked no doubt! But to dive and sell it instead of fighting through came off as really bush!
As for Price I really thought he was the right choice overe guy they traded,bt he has regressed overall this year . Rarely has he stolen a game. I remember a couple when he was focused and locked in but his mishandling the puck and cavalier way in which he tried to get back on the one goal tonight opened the floodgates.
I know they won but these two key players have a little more maturing to do. In fact there are a few on this club that need a solid teacher to come in. Is that guy Robinson? Maybe he would come in as an assistant. The defence could really use his guidance especially since Markov is no guarantee to anchor them….
Highly entertaining game, and a night to remember for HIO comments.
LOL, can't stop laughing. Next, Leafs!!
Agree L, have a good night, don't forget to gas up the tank tomorrow fuel prices going up again this weekend!
Again? Seriously! What a f••g rip off! I'm sorry for tonight's plethora of colourful metaphors. One beer too many. And one or two goals too many by the Wild.
Don't get me started on gas prices and global surpluses, and the Gov't convinced there's no colluding, and they're not all chummy with the big oil guys and there's no spooning!
Thanks Burly, I think I'm going to start walking the 9 clicks (Ontario word lol) back and forth to work. Good night!
True, this place is a hoot when we win.
Not enough hooting going on recently.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
The have a golden chance to get an awesome pick… I feel conflicted!!!! Want…them…to…….win….tank…….Gomez……….can't………
I KNOW….look at me! I'm talking loud! Conflicted…that's a good word for it. Conflicted. Heart palpitations! The adrenaline of playing the best 56 minutes of hockey since….what year are we? And then Price…
I need to lie down.
I see many putting this near loss on Carey Price. So he tried for any empty net goal, big deal! The way this team let him down this season Carey deserves to score many goals. The goals tonight were all on the weak D not Carey Price!
The way people get on in here towards Carey Price is Ridiculous.
Your Right…let's do what Carey's agent wants and sign him to a 7 year 52 million dollar contract with huge bonuses and while we're at it give G-love an extension 4 for 30 million,oh yeah baby!!!!
I can agree with the Gomez extension but unsure on keeping Price.
Dude , you are a Fraking idiot. I called you out yesterday and you never accepted my challange. If you don't like the Habs go back to your "Afgan dancing Boys". I'm sure you 'll have more fun. To refresh your stoner memory since you are the know it all about hockey and we have no good players on this team lets put them all on waivers and you can make your suggestions of who we should get. AssH#$es like you should go join the Leafs blog site.
Fracking Idiot. This post will probably delated or get me put on some suspension. Even after we win you yammer on and on. Just Frack off.
Mr. Biter
No Guts No Glory
How many times in the past two years has somebody other than Price won the Molson Cup Award for a month? Look it up and then run along with your nonsense already. If you hate the team's best player, go cheer for another team and leave the fans of this team alone already.
Well, let's see…
Max won it for January, before that…
Oh, it was rhetorical.
Sorry. .. . … … . .. . my bad.
Keep going…. It wasn't rhetorical count em up…..
Here's a hint, October, November, December and February this year were all won by Price.
Last year, pretty much exactly the same thing with only Plekanec sneaking one in among Price's 5 wins in the 6 months of last season. The last 11 months, Price has been the team's MVP in 9 of them. Ya, HE is the problem apparently.
So I'm late in driving over to my buddy's for the game. No score, and they call a 4 min. penalty, then another 2 just as I pull up. I'm thinking woo hoo, here we go.
I get out, run into their house, and THEY'RE STILL EATING!
So I'm trying to be polite, but I'm dancing like I need to pee. C'mon Tony, …get your butt in gear. He finally looks up and me, and I'm (standing behind his wife) pointing downstairs, and he's being all casual, forgetting that the game started at 7, not 7:30.
This takes all of 90 seconds, and he turns on the tube, and RDS are showing no score (their clock was still messed up), Cole has been hurt somehow (didn't see it) and the Wild are escorting their goalie off the ice.
It's sill a 5 on 3 so I'm thinking I didn't miss any of the penalty, except GOMEZ is on. Ah crap, RC hasn't learned anything.
Doesn't he feed a sweet pass to Eller, and it's…..2-0 ???? Huh? What'd I miss? I had to wait for them to recount what had happened to realize that PK had scored and Cole had drawn a second 5 on 3. I was so confused.
But wow, what a start and it looked like they were going to put in a full 60 minutes, not 56…
Well, the team really IS improving. A couple of games ago they were only playing 40 minutes! Now 56! See? The future is brighter than ever.
Dancing like I need to pee, very funny! Bad visual, but very funny.
I can just imagine how polite you were trying to be while cursing like a sailor under your breath.
What under my breath? When the 3 musketeers are watching hockey at Tony's, the women go to my house to play crib.
Come on man, don't leave us hangin' like this.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
So now it's 4-1 and Gord, who got there even later than me, is whining 'cause his GD blower won't start, and "the western snow drift blew SIX F****G FEET of snow" up his driveway while he was having supper and…
Oh, you were being facetious…oh.
They won in a shoot out.
McGuire for GM!
Roy for Coach!
Sh*t for Brains!
Gotta find one with Burke, going to email all my leaf buddies.
+1…Shane O'Brien is an UFA..Draft Murray..We fix that issue..
Yes, I'm a Hab fan..Wanna fight about it?
Center or Defense in the draft? I say draft the defense man..We can make do with what we have down the middle..Sign a Shane O'Brien and draft either Ryan Murray or Griffin Reinhart…We basically have a bunch of pussies in front of Price..We had Gill in this game, we win 4-1…
Yes, I'm a Hab fan..Wanna fight about it?
They're trying to give me heart failure. I'm telling ya, that's what they're doing!
Can't Price just stay in his net? Leave the handling to your D.
Granted, with Can'tpoli and Kaberlazy on the same D line, they might as well put a couple of straw dummies there instead. But…oye!
Pachetory Cacciatore..
Yes, I'm a Hab fan..Wanna fight about it?
If Gainey is indeed giving Carriere instructions: I see two things here: (1) the guy is the puppet master here, and everyone is a land duck (2) he's orchestrating the tank: make it look like we'll win the game them blow it hard. Lol
Man reading these conspiracy theories makes me wonder if perhaps Vince McMahon is actually running the team
Even though this win still felt like a loss, I'm glad the Habs managed to get 2 points, not because of the 2 points, but because a loss when leading 4-1 and collapsing in the final 3min with a non-call on MaxPac would put them in a really bad mindset. Not healthy for the team if you ask me.
The best mindset, I think, at this point is to try and just play consistently and properly regardless of the outcome. Learn for next season. What they don't need is to be shoved down with moral crushing losses. Look at the Leafs: their entire psyche is messed up. Their losses probably constitute of multiple daggers to the heart.
Have a feeling that no lead against the Loafs will be safe on Sat. night.
Nope, no lead is safe with this version of the team. Kinda torn. I want the Habs to win against the Leafs, but at the rate the Leafs are losing they'll drop below the Habs in the standings, i.e., to dead last.
Yeah, after that 4 min. Gong Show @ the end of the game (which happens in every game that the Habs lead)…the chances are good that they will blow it. But the Leafs are not an ordinary team.
That said, we still need to support these guys. It's been a horrible year, but seeing White and Staubitz celebrating together after the ugly shoot-out reminds us that these guys do care.
Oh don't worry. I support them fully and will not say I am disgusted by them just quite disappointed.
Before the Cammy/Bourque trade, before Kostitsyn was shipped off, I believe the main problem was the D (still is a problem). But now we have very few full NHL players. So many players are 3rd and 4th line types. Others should be in Hamilton. So there's a lot of work to be done now in all respects.

Baby Poncho.
I cant tell you how much yarn you will need as I used some I had hanging around the place but I imagine if you allow about 150grams it should be plenty.
I used 8ply and a 4.5mm hook. You will need to translate this to your sizes.
The pattern is written in US terms.
CH = Chain, DC = Double Crochet, SS = Slip stitch, SP= Space, STS = Stitches.
Make 60 chain and join with a slip stitch to make a big loop, taking care not to twist.
Row 1: 4 ch (to stand as 1 DC and 1 CH), 1 DC into base of CH, * miss 1 CH, 1 DC, 1CH, 1DC into next CH, * continue from * to * to the end of the row. Join with a SS into 3rd of 4 CH at the beginning of the row. 30 V STS
Row 2: SS into the first 1 CH SP, 4 CH, 1 DC into same SP. Work 1 V ST onto each of the next 6 1 CH spaces,* Work 1 DC, 1 CH, 1 DC, 1 Ch, 1 DC, 1CH, 1 DC into the next V ST*, work 1 V ST into next 14 V STS, Repeat *to * then work 1 V ST into each of the next 7 1 CH spaces. Join with a SS into the 3rd of the 4 ch at beginning.
This last row forms the pattern and is continued to the length required. There will be 4 extra V STS in each round thus forming the points of the Poncho.
You can put a shell pattern around the edge by working 1 SC into the 1st 1 CH SP, * 1 DC, 1 CH 5 times into next SP, 1 DC into same SP, 1 SC into next 1 CH SP* Repeat * to * around the edge, being creative when you get to the increases at the two points. Fasten off and finish off any ends. Because I had 2 different Batch lots of yarn, I put 1 round of a contrast yarn so the colour difference would not be so obvious. You could also put a fringe if you wanted to and leave the shell pattern off. The loops are there for you to hook the fringe into.
The neck can be left how it is or you could work a round of SC on the neck with a row of eyelets to thread a cord through then another row of SC.
Make the cord by crocheting the thread double and making some little bobbles on the ends so the cord does not pull out.
Hope you enjoy working this pattern.
Have fun.

Planned Parenthood march against Obamacare repeal
"With this disaster of a bill dead and buried, I hope that we can get to work."
Dave Rice 6:30 p.m., March 24
I've watched, hawk-like and keen-eyed, as Dark Horse Coffee postponed opening over and over and over again. Normal Height's new roastery was supposed to open in October of last year, but delays in construction and inspection (part and parcel of converting a building for food service usage) pushed the opening back into the new year and beyond. The shop languished unfinished, seemingly for an age, but the doors are finally open and pour-overs happenevery day.
It looks good in there, too. The construction definitely emphasized a vintage/rustic look, but they took the time to finish everything rather than just leaving it ratty and calling it artsy. The building, next to the Adams Avenue post office, is tiny, but there are a few stools and some table space along the walls. Still, I wouldn't count on a seat there during busy hours!
As of now, Dark Horse is roasting three different kinds of coffee to showcase different beans and regions of origin. I had a pour-over of Papua New Guinea-grown beans ($2.50) and found it delicious. Already, Dark Horse is ahead of most other coffee places in terms of flavor and complexity. Only the Collective outstrips them at this point and I expect a healthy market for upscale, uptown coffee to spring up between the two of them in the coming year.

"Wait!" the woman called after the GFA Bible college students. They had just turned to leave after sharing the Gospel with her. "Would you pray to Jesus and ask Him to let me see again?" she asked.
Thirty years ago, as a young girl, she had lost her sight. How wonderful it would be to see sunsets and flowers and faces again!
As the students prayed on the spot, the power of God came upon the woman, healing her instantly. Today she follows Christ, and her story has created a wave of spiritual interest among her friends and neighbors.

The Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP), representing a large number of practicing doctors, has released an extensive report about the adverse health effects of pesticides. The report, which can be viewed at this link, details scientific and medical information about health problems caused by pesticide exposures. Their section on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma includes many of the same studies reviewed in Lymphoma Foundation of America's Pesticides Research Report.
Besides lymphoma, pesticides are linked to leukemia, solid tumors, severe reproductive problems, neurologic and mental health effects, and skin disorders. As a result of their review of the dangers of pesticides, the OCFP supports laws banning their use, and urges individuals to avoid all pesticides as much as possible. OCFP further urges physicians to discuss pesticide risks with all of their patients.

May I add Knifewear in "I think" Calgary. Great people, very professional and courteous (which is 100% required if I purchase a knife) All the people I communicated with in Canada are some of the best! Is it the water or something?
Also on the same top notch level "if customer service & product knowledge is important to you"

Knife is run by another former cook in the city that has decided to get out of the "game" to have a more normal life, I reckon. I've only been to the shop once, it's a place for the home cook looking for an intro to J-knives. He used to work for Roger Mooking who owns restaurants in Toronto and has a cooking show called "Everyday Exotic".
I know Ivan and Olivia (his partner) also, good peoples, very serious about their knives, def in line w/ the nerdery on here.
Knife Toronto is run by Eugene Ong. Cool guy. Small physical space, but enough goodies on display to ogle at I think dropping by here would be a good idea to get a sense for what you like.
Never met the folks from Tosho, but they sound like they'd be good local folks to deal with as well.
Oh, and for the OP, I'm around the Toronto area and also have a few items you could try out sometime. Maybe we could do a GTA gathering if there's enough of us around

Kim Kardashian has unveiled the Kardashian Christmas Card for 2012! Just in case you didn't make the Kardashian Christmas card list, here's a look. They opted for a White Christmas theme this year. This seems like a genuinely fun family tradition. I think it looks great! Are you a fan?
Khloe Kardashian spilled the beans that not all of the Kardashians can actually make the photoshoot, so some family members are photoshopped in there. She admitted she herself couldn't make it, and neither could her husband, Lamar Odom. Kendall Jenner and Scott Disick were also added courtesy of photoshop. It shows you how good that stuff is: you'd never know from looking, would you?

U.S. President Barack Obama seems to have just squeezed ahead of Mitt Romney in the popular vote in Tuesday's presidential elections, probably by less than two percent, but had he competed in a much wider constituency than the American electorate, he would have won handily. A BBC World Service opinion poll conducted last month in twenty-one nations containing a large majority of the world's population, had Obama triumphing by a global landslide. If the poll carried out by GlobeScan/PIPA is to be relied upon, 50 percent of citizens in the countries surveyed would have voted for the incumbent while only nine percent said they preferred the Republican candidate. Out of the 21, the only country where more voters would have gone for Romney was Pakistan.
Israel, with its much smaller population, was not included in the BBC survey but we have other polls indicating how Zion would have voted were it a state of the Union, and all of them would have the GOP candidate winning hands-down. One such poll had 57 percent of Israeli voters going for Romney while only 22 preferred Obama. Jerusalem and Islamabad never seemed so close.
On the face of it, the Jewish state has little in common with the impoverished Islamic republic in South Asia. Certainly Pakistanis' main reason for disliking Obama has nothing to do with the motives of Israelis. The foreign policy the American president is most identified with in that part of the world is the use of drones, unmanned aerial vehicles that carry out assassination missions of al-Qaida and Taliban targets, in some cases also killing innocent bystanders. Pakistanis, not unreasonably see the drone campaign as an infringement on their sovereignty and blame Obama for the unnecessary deaths. Most Israelis on the other hand have no problem with these tactics, indeed according to foreign media sources, drone warfare was pioneered by the IDF. Their opposition to Obama is mainly based on a perception, created largely by the pro-Netanyahu camp in the media, that he is unfriendly to Israel, as demonstrated in the demand that Israel freeze settlement activity earlier on in his first term (though he eventually gave up on that demand) and the more recent public warnings against an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
But digging deeper, there is a significant degree of resemblance between the negative feelings of both nations towards the newly re-elected American president. For a start, neither of them had any realistic hope for a change in policy had Romney been elected. He didn't criticize Obama's drone strategy in Pakistan; on the contrary, he was planning to continue it. And despite all his pro-Israel rhetoric and attacks on Obama for "throwing Israel under the bus," Romney essentially followed the administration's line on the two main issues facing Israel. He claimed to support a two-state solution and repeatedly said that while he would not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, he still thought that there was room for diplomacy and sanctions before launching a military strike.
In addition, during Obama's first term, the administration did not decrease its material support and strategic cooperation with Pakistan or Israel, in both cases it increased. His predecessor George W. Bush also ordered attacks to be carried out on Pakistani soil and refused Israel permission to attack Iran. The difference between the two presidents is that despite his belligerent image, Bush was much more subtle in his dealings with both countries, preferring to paper over the differences. Obama preferred to highlight the Pakistani missions in order to present himself as a tough warrior-president to the sections of the American public who suspected him of pacifism and he found it hard to pretend to have a warm relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu when Israel's prime minister made no efforts to hide his symbiotic connection to the Republican Party.
Of course, there is a huge difference between the emotional bond between Israel and the United States strengthened by the Jewish community and the many values shared by both nations, and the much shakier alliance of convenience between Washington and Islamabad. Angry mobs crying "death to America" and burning its flag are a common sight on the streets of Karachi, not Tel-Aviv. But there is also much similarity in the feelings of resentment in both countries towards the world's only super-power. Israel may be America's closest ally in the Middle East but that closeness will always be limited by the need to maintain ties with Arab and Muslim nations that at least in the open abominate the Zionist entity. The same is true of the balancing act the administration has to play between Pakistan and its great enemy India. Some American presidents have been able to embark on charm offensives and overcome these resentments, Bill Clinton was the master, but Obama for most of his first four years has made little effort at this.
No country in the world has an equal relationship with the United States and every nation has to find a way to deal with its feeling of inferiority. Pakistan and Israel are in a much more difficult situation than most. To survive in volatile regions they need America as a strategic ally but above all they need to be able to deal with their demons, in Israel's case the untenable control of another nation's fate and in Pakistan the unholy alliance between the all-powerful military and the fundamentalist groups destabilizing its neighbors. The United States is in an impossible position where it is both urging the leaderships of the two countries to solve these problems while at the same time it is committed to supplying much of the resources that allow them to perpetuate the current situation. Obama in his clumsy way has highlighted this dilemma and it is hardly surprisingly he has failed in earning the gratitude of Israelis or Pakistanis.

1st experience with this DOC, but moderately impressed. N.B. Note from just over a week ago, but with wine focus in mind
Pleasantly herbal nose with some background honey & lime. On the palate good sprightly acidity coupled with a texturally medium weight wine, which works well. Not a bad length finish and some butter emerges at the end. All in all well balanced, reasonably complex, but without over-extending itself. A very useful wine that maybe didn't go with the cod as well as I'd hoped, but should be a good food wine with a variety of fish, but also has the body to work well with Pork IMO.

text: Facebook + Skype Video Chat = "Something Awesome" (Updated: Hands-On)Andrew Tarantola7/06/11 1:30pmFiled to: FacebookFacebook video chatSkypeFacebook skypeTop11EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Facebook started Rollout Season 2011 with its answer to Google+ Hangouts today in the form of Video Calling, an integrated video chat feature built on Skype technology. Update (Hands on): Advertisement Typically, if two FB users want to perform a video call, they've got to leave Facebook and connect through either a Skype client, Apple's Facetime, Google Talk or even Google+ Hangouts. Now, all the users need to do is download a small plugin and boom — instant video messaging. It's accessible through the chat tab; just start a normal chat conversation, hit the Video Chat button and you're off and running. By integrating video calling directly into the Facebook experience they're able to drop this technology directly into the mainstream. You thought getting Friend Requests from your parents was a hassle? Then you're going to love explaining to your mom why you don't love her enough to accept her video chat requests.Facebook chat has historically been buggy, to put it mildly, so will Video Calling be more of the same? The demo looked smooth enough (see below) but we'll have to see how it works in real world situations. Facebook/Skype partnership is a shrewd one, to be sure. Skype, if you'll remember, was purchased by Microsoft in May for $8.5 billion. This move not only strengthens Facebook's own feature list but also strengthens the budding FB/MS alliance (what with Facebook's recent Bing integration and all) against their common Google enemy. Advertisement In addition to Video Calling, Facebook also announced an update to Group Chat that allows for ad-hoc group messaging with a new design that makes it easier to find buddies that are online. Update: We tested out the new FB video calls, and hey, they work! Video quality seemed a little below iChat/FaceTime, but was serviceable enough, and the process of jumping into a chat is minimal. I did notice that the requisite plugin ate around 30% of my CPU power during a call. Which is a bummer. Another drag is the separation of video and text chat—it'd be nice to have the two integrated (AIM AV executes this perfectly) rather than having to flip back and forth.

Zap2it caught up with some of the cast of "American Horror Story" Season 4, subtitled "Freak Show," at 2014 Paleyfest last Friday (March 28), where we asked them a few fun questions about the theme of the upcoming season.
Zap2it: Do you have any scary memories of a carnival or circus?
Angela Bassett: "When the lions always came out. … They got just a little rambunctious."
Denis O'Hare: "I like circuses, I like the dark part of life, so what I have are lots of memories of being at night at a carnival where there was danger in the air. The carnie people were all kind of sexy and creepy, and they all had tattoos and the rides were all kind of rickety and scary and the food was forbidden. I love the whole forbidden part of that."
Evan Peters: "I haven't been to too many circuses, but I can't wait to check [the season] out."
Frances Conroy: "There was a little carnival in the town where I grew up, but it was fun. I don't remember anything scary."
Gabourey Sidibe: "I've seen a freak show or two before. I don't know that it was like a real freak show, it was at Coney Island. I don't think freak shows really exist anymore."
If you could have any kind of prosthetic or certain character as part of the "freak show," what would it be?
Bassett: "Oh, anything! I guess we could be the elephant woman/man … that stuff takes time, so I would like not to have too much of that.
O'Hare: "I want a misshapen head, something bulbous. … Like 'Elephant Man.'"
Conroy: "The circus is a place of exotic stuff. No animals. No animals, please. … Let's not have animals and entertainment, thank you."
Jamie Brewer: "What would be really neat is an extra pair of arms … and using my arms and my whole body as a new human animal."
"American Horror Story: Freak Show" premieres on FX in fall 2014.

Broncos' Dreessen doesn't mind ban on his jersey
Denver Broncos tight end Joel Dreessen says he isn't bothered by the Greeley school district's ban on his jersey number and others because they're associated with local gangs. The district bans 13, 14 and 18 and their reverse, 31, 41 and 81. Dreessen wears 81. The rule is three years old but made headlines this week after a third-grader wearing Peyton Manning's No. 18 was sent home to change.
Amid legal threat, UW, CSU prepare to sell Y Cross
Two former governors of Colorado and Wyoming are scheduled to unseal bids in November for a vast ranch in southeast Wyoming while the woman who donated the property to two university foundations threatens to sue if the sale moves forward as planned. Denver philanthropist Amy Davis, who gave the Y Cross Ranch to the University of Wyoming Foundation and Colorado State University Research Foundation in 1997, claims the schools haven't done enough to use the ranch for hands-on agriculture education as intended. The two foundations jointly own 50,000-acre ranch between Cheyenne and Laramie. Davis' attorney, Steve Miller, told the foundations in an Aug. 22 letter they violated the gift agreement by insufficiently promoting the ranch to university faculty as an available educational tool. "Accordingly, the Donors demand that the proposed sale of the Y Cross Ranch be terminated," Miller wrote.
Police in legal minefield on Ariz. immigration law
The most contentious part of Arizona's immigration law finally has approval to move forward, surviving a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, a heated national debate and two years of state politics. But the practical effect of what critics call the "show me your papers" provision remains to be seen. Immigrants are worried they'll be harassed by officers emboldened to pull them over because they look Hispanic. Officers — who will be required to ask people they encounter while enforcing other laws to show they're in the county legally if they find them suspicious — say they'll be open to lawsuits if they're accused of racially profiling, or if they're accused of not adequately enforcing the law. "It leaves us in a very, very, very, extremely gray area," Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Thursday. "So now we get sued when we do profile, and we get sued if we don't profile."

Health chat: Dr. Victory rips Obamacare during Bears Ears Patriots meeting
Dr. Victory rips Obamacare during Bears Ears Patriots meeting
Healthcare took center stage Thursday when the Bears Ears Tea Party Patriots played host to Dr. Kelly Victory at the Center of Craig, 601 Yampa Ave. Victory holds a bachelor of sciences degree from Duke and Oxford universities, a masters in clinical psychology from the University of Illinois, and an MD from the University of North Carolina. She also is a member of Gov. Mitt Romney's healthcare policy team and is widely touted as an expert on American healthcare legislation. On Thursday she spoke to more than 60 people about Obamacare, which was advertised by Congressional Democrats to accomplish two goals, provide Americans with universal healthcare and bend the cost curve. Victory compared healthcare coverage to a three-legged stool, with each leg representing cost, quality and access.

Moffat County football gets early test at home vs. Rifle
Although an opening-game win for Moffat County High School football was nice, it was expected against a weaker opponent in Ridge View Academy In week two, it's a different story. The Bulldogs will take on Rifle High School, the defending Western Slope League champions in an important early-season matchup. The Bears enjoyed an undefeated regular season in 2011 but were ousted in the state quarterfinals by Windsor High School. Rifle sports a run early, run often-style offense that rarely puts the ball in the air. In the team's first game against Coal Ridge High School, a 45-6 win, the Bears ran for 456 yards and passed for none. Against Moffat County last year, Rifle won 48-6. They were able to avoid passing because star running back Ryan Moeller rumbled for 319 yards against the Bulldogs.
25 shades of Craig: Everyday supr heroes
"Where have all the good men gone?" is a question that I hear women asking on a daily basis. My response is that they are all around us, we just need to give them the opportunity to be our Supermen. Little boys love super heroes and want to grow up to be those super heroes. This doesn't mean that they want to fly around in a cape and red tights, but it does mean that they want to save the day and be needed. Men like independent women who can take care of themselves, they like knowing that if they leave town for a week that we can take care of things.
Dona Shue: Obligation to our animals
To the editor: I want to commend Colette Erickson for addressing a difficult and heartbreaking situation but she didn't go far enough. People have an obligation to care for animals until the end and doing what is best for the animal is not always easy or pleasant but necessary if you truly care about an animal.
Rosemary Pottr: Don't let them take our 2nd Amendment rights
To the editor: Gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made. And as much as some want you to think differently, the UN Gun Ban is proving harder to kill than a horror movie killer! As you know, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to work hand-in-glove with the UN to pass a new "Small Arms Treaty."
Trish Snyder: Thanks, Coach Hafey
Hats off to you, Coach Hafey, for providing a life lesson to your football squad, students, staff, coaches and community members. I believe it is admirable that you have inspired others to place value and care towards the young men of Ridge View Academy. It is my hope that it does not stop there. We have students and athletes right here in Craig that need to know "that they do have people that care about them, that they are as valuable as anyone else and that we are proud of them for their work."
Pete Bergmann: In support of Dave DeRose
To the editor: Dave DeRose has the personal attributes, business background and community governing experience to be and outstanding county commissioner. I have known Dave for over two decades and observed him working in a variety of leadership positions. Recently and most directly, as Superintendent of Schools, I worked hand-in-hand with Dave during the Moffat County School District's bond campaign to build our new middle school and renovate facilities. Here is why we asked Dave to lead our campaign and why you should cast your vote to elect him as our County Commissioner.
Lance Scranton: Fight songs and foundations
The Moffat County High School Football team has a tradition of singing the school fight song after each victory. I'm hoping we get to sing it often this season and was thinking that our fight song is pretty good and contains some important lessons worth remembering: Oh when the mighty Bulldogs fall in line, we're going to win again another time… We are mighty when we stick together and work toward a common purpose. We've already won if we stay together and continue to strive for excellence.

Moffat County High School senior travels to leadership summit, brings back ideas to community
For Matthew Balderston, leadership doesn't mean grandiose speeches and empty promises. "You don't have to spout out a thousand words when you can show leadership with one simple action," Balderston said. A 17-year-old senior at Moffat County High School, Balderston had an opportunity to gather with teenagers from across the nation to take part in the People to People Leadership Summit in early August.
Janet Sheridan: Making the Grade
Last week as I watched spruced-up children scamper by my house, wearing new backpacks and excitement, I wondered what they were thinking about as they began another school year. My teaching experience tells me they weren't focused on increasing their knowledge and earning straight A's. Instead, they were probably thinking about friends, recess and teachers—in that order. It wasn't until I sat at the teacher's desk that student learning and a fair system of grading dominated my thoughts as a school year began. I worked hard to establish procedures for collecting scores and assigning grades that would fairly represent the progress of each student, refining and improving my procedures year in and year out. Still as an educator, I was often surprised by the reactions of parents and students when reports cards were issued.

Tony Bohrer: Yesterday is gone, today is what matters
Most people early in life figure out that life can be hard at times. It doesn't matter what family you come from or what ethnic background you have some times bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people it is simply called life. The Bible say's "it rains on the just and the unjust". What matters more than what we have to go through in life whether it is fair or not is how we respond to the situation at hand. I have met a lot of people including myself that have allowed their pasts to dictate their futures. It is human nature to feel sorry for ourselves during the rough times in life and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that unless you never let it go.

'CoaSim' is a tool for simulating the coalescent process with recombination and gene conversion under the assumption of exponential population growth. It constructs the ancestral recombination graph for a given number of individuals and uses this to simulate samples of SNP and micro-satellite haplotypes/genotypes. The generated sample can afterwards be separated in cases and controls, depending on states of selected individual markers. The tool can accordingly also be used to construct cases and control data sets for association studies.

A NEW mortgage scheme has seen its first purchasers collect the keys to their new homes.
Amongst the first buyers is 23-year-old Mason Parker, who is one of the youngest Islanders to buy a house through the scheme to date.
The Local Lend a Hand scheme, a £1 million investment package involving Lloyds Bank and Isle of Wight Council, was launched in March to give first time buyers the opportunity to purchase a home with a low deposit.
It has allowed Mason to buy a three-bed, semi-detached Victorian property on The Broadway, Sandown.
Mason said: "I heard about Local Lend a Hand online and thought it was a very good opportunity.
"I had been renting with friends until about three months ago, when I moved back in with my parents to save up for a deposit on my first home.
"The whole application process was very straightforward and I was able to see the mortgage advisor fairly quickly. All in all, the process took about eight weeks to complete.
"I'm really happy with my new house and would encourage other first time buyers to look into the scheme, as it can really help."
The Local Lend a Hand scheme allows borrowers to choose any existing previously-owned Island property, up to a maximum mortgage of £150,000.
First time buyers put down a minimum five per cent of the property price and the council provides a cash-backed indemnity of up to 20 per cent as additional security.
Steve Stubbings, Isle of Wight Council executive member for adult social care and community well-being, said: "The scheme is designed to provide a much-needed boost to the local housing economy, while helping people buy their first homes — and this shows it is already working."
The scheme is offered on a first-come, first-served basis and those who would like to know more should visit Lloyds Bank and ask about the scheme.
Marc Page, Lloyds Bank mortgages director, added: "Local Lend a Hand addresses some of the real problems that prospective buyers on the Island might face.
"It's great to see first time buyers like Mason getting the keys to their new home."

Rockaway Beach Volleyball League Wraps Up A Successful 2011 Season
On Saturday, August 13, volleyballs flew all day on the sands of Riis Park until champions were crowned in each of the graded divisions of the Rockaway Beach Volleyball League. The weather was an ideal 84 degrees, sunny and virtually windless and the quality of play seemed to match the quality of the playing conditions. Nine different division champions were crowned by day's end.
The mood was both festive and bittersweet as the 2011 season ended and the joy of another terrific year was offset by the sadness that many friends would go their separate ways over the next ten months, not seeing each other quite as regularly anymore.
Commissioner Patty Moule outdid herself again although she selflessly deflected credit to her committee of Rocky, Steve, Denise, John and Joe for a job well done. Thank you all for making the season a great success and making the playoffs one of the RBVL's most spectacular events ever. Your camaraderie and friendship elevate the league to heights no other league enjoys. Thanks again to Beach Bagel for the delicious sandwiches and wraps and to DJ Brian from the Tubridy stable for rocking out the finals.
Thanks to Bud Light who provided the team uniforms (and some frosty beverages) in 2011, and thanks to all the sponsors who contributed financially. Your help is essential. And special mention must be made of first-time sponsor Rogers Pub, which threw one of the best parties all season. Richie Rogers used the old school method of great home cooked food, a dynamite juke box and extra bartenders to keep the packed house thrilled. Who did he learn from, his pub neighbor, Carmel at the Kerry Hills? Once again, Carmel out-cooked the entire peninsula as she usually does each year. Keep up the good work, guys. And why was this the first year Rogers sponsored a team? Amazingly, it was the first year anyone asked.
Congratulations to the nine champions of the different divisions of the RBVL. Some outsiders ask why there is no playoff to determine a grand overall champion, but if you watch the matches carefully you already know the answer. The grand champion would be Freedhand's because the Ocean division is by far the toughest and best in the league. (Maybe in NY, maybe on the East Coast, maybe in the U.S., maybe in the world, maybe in the galaxy.) Here are the 2011 champs:
Ocean Division-Freedhand's; Oean Breeze Division-Dig This; Wave Division Wharf Rats; Beach Division-Miley Home Improvement Posse; Boardwalk Division-Rock Fam; Sun Division- Breakaways; Sun Ray Division-Sands Point Physical Therapy; Moon Division- White Horse Tavern Beach Posse; Star Division-Rockaway Breakers.
This year's annual RBVL awards party will be different from previous years since no one has come to the league dinner the past few years. The sweatshirts will be given out at the beach this Saturday, August 27. Please send at least one representative to the beach at 127 Street between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to pick up your hard earned shirts.
A net will be set up and volleyball games will be played all afternoon. You and your team are welcome to join in. Bring your coolers, beach chairs, and sunscreen and have fun playing some pick-up games if you have time. Or just grab the sweatshirts and run. That's OK, too. What's not OK is not sending someone from your team to get the shirts on Saturday. The RBVL is not in the sweatshirt storage business and the shirts will be left on the beach if no one comes by. You will probably need a miracle for them still to be there when you finally come over but that's your call.
Once again, Chris from It's All Good Tees is working OT to make this all happen on time. Every year he comes through for us and we can't thank him enough. See you on Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Happy remains happy even when his team plays crappy and would like to happily thank sponsors, Jeff and Kerry Ann, for sticking with the Connolly's dysfunctional band of misfits through the good volleyball times and the bad volleyball times. And there have been a lot more bad times recently.
Sands Point PT won their first crown for owner/sponsor Tim Rohrs and extends their heartfelt thanks to him for his support of the team through both the ups and downs of competition. Sands Point used an unusual tactic this season, sending Captain Tommy T. and Carol to Florida for the playoffs, where they won the title in absentia while sipping Coronas at Rocky's pool on the Intercoastal.
Tommy has played a lot of music for the RBVL over the years but he has not won a coveted sweatshirt since 1996 when he played for Hercules. Casino Towing's younger players want to know how often a casino really needs to be towed and where do you get a tow truck big enough to do the job, towing the whole casino, including slot machines.
Casino was one of the younger teams in the Ocean Breeze division, averaging 36.1 years of age. However, when you notice that the women average 18- years-of-age, mathematics tells us the men must average around 60. Ouch! That's not so young. Just because the RBVL season is over doesn't mean the fun is done. Last Tuesday night, your old friend Joe McGivney's band, Gearth, Wind & Fireman, played at the Kettle Black in Bay Ridge and entertained many of the singing party animals of the RBVL. If you are in Bay Ridge on Tuesday, September 13 stop in for the next monthly extravaganza (and 2 for 1 burgers). To be continued next week.

"What is a GIF?" That's a question that many people might be asking themselves after the news on Monday that "GIF" was chosen as the Oxford American Dictionaries' word of the year. After beating out the likes of "YOLO" and "superstorm," GIF will definitely be a word that enters the public conversation more and more in the near future. However, sports fans are already a bit familiar with the unique word, as GIFs are responsible for some of the most interesting sports content on websites today. A GIF, short for "graphics interchange format," is a certain kind of file type with a unique ability to display animation. As such, the file has allowed sports fans to relive some of the more offbeat and irreverent actions from around the sports world. From Michelle Jenneke's viral pre-race routine to a Kobe Bryant death stare to a mascot falling flat on its face, GIFs have helped capture some of the most hilarious moments in sports for us to enjoy over and over and over again.

Truck sales continue to climb in July of 2013 with introductions of new 2014 body styles and specialty model trucks. GM began selling its 2014 Silverado with great fanfare and anticiption for this new body style, which shows in their total sales figures for July. Aftermarket manufacturers are rushing to build and ship new products for this body style. Becauase studies show 80 percent of new truck owners will add some kind of truck accessory within the first three months of purchase, sales in aftermarket parts should see a slight peak between now and into the fall. Dodge also had good sales in July and continue to increase, making it a solid platform from which truck accessory stores can stock and sell products to these vehicle owners.

The Cokin P079 Center Spot Wide Angle Pink Filter provides a larger center spot area than previous Cokin Center Spots. The filter has a clear spot in the center and allows for the portrayal of an object in a violet colored surrounding. The filter effect is directly influenced by the f-stop and the focal length. The transformation is softer with wider apertures.
The size of the clear circular area increases relatively with the selection of longer focal lengths. The exposure determination should be done without the filter. If the camera has the capability of spot-metering, then one can measure with the filter in place.
This filter measures 85 x 85mm and fits the Cokin P series holder.

Haiti disaster cartography
Haiti disaster cartography
They've done it again at the New York Times
To coin a phrase from my good friend JAG at Innovation, this is pure infographic caviar
Super text and visual reporting, supporting a very impressive topographic relief map
However does the wonderful rendering of the mountain range enable us to understand which areas of Port-au-Prince are badly effected by the earthquake?
Is the mountain range and the visualisation of the 'valley' important in the story telling?
Whatever the answer, now I know what the Port-au-Prince area looks like
Please leave comments below, I think that this is an interesting debate to have
innovations in newspapers,
1 comment:
I watch the news regularly but this was the first time i had been presented with the information about what is happening with the geographical context/ location clearly depicted. I do agree that it is perhaps more concentrated on visualizing the area rather than the destruction. all in all it was very informative.

And the standard of competition this year was particularly high in events that included the Armpit Serenade contest, Bobbin' for Pigs Feet, and the Mud Pit Belly Flop.
