HOW-TO: 4 Ways to Style This "Rebellious" Cut and Color
Created by stylist Mark Dotson and colorist Melissa Powers from Salon Ten80 in Atlanta, Georgia, this cut and color is what they would like to call, "The Rebellious-Allure." "We believe that society is becoming more liberated and expressive; therefore we wanted to create looks that embraced both elements of expression. We feel confident through our technique, that edge and rebellion can look both glamorous and chic, therefore making the rebel 'alluring.'"
According to Dotson, here's how he achieved the cut:
STEP 1: "I started in the top by taking a horseshoe section from temple to temple to include the crown of the head. In the back, I disconnected the hair from the top of the left ear to the center of the nape hairline. (Forming a rounded line from the top of the ear to the nape) I sectioned both sides from the horseshoe sections down to the top of the ears. On the right side, I disconnected from about an inch above the ear, from the side parting on top of the ear horizontally to the front hairline."
STEP 2: "I started the haircut in the back by placing my vertical section from the horseshoe parting in the crown off center to just above the rounded disconnection in the back. (Center of the disconnected section) From the off center parting, I took diagonal sections working up and to the previous section to the top of the right ear."
STEP 3: "Once at mid ear, the sections pivoted vertically until I met the side parting on top of the ear. I returned to my off centered vertical parting in the back and worked towards the back of the left ear using vertical sections, utilizing a graduated cutting angle."
STEP 4: "For the back disconnection, I used a concave layer technique. Using diagonal sections starting from the far right of the disconnection, I cut a line working from short to long and directed every section to the first, creating length toward the back of the ear. I then carved out the hairline working up to the back of the right earlobe using the tips of my scissors. I then connected the disconnection in the hairline working longer towards the left ear. (Cutting on the skin)."
STEP 5 (On the left side): "I took a horizontal section from just below the parting of the horseshoe section in the top and the parting to the top of the ear (which makes the sides). I elevated the hair up and cut a new guide with a flat line. I worked down to the hairline with horizontal sections directing everything to the first section. (Everything directed towards the ceiling) thus, creating flatness through the side as well as creating length toward the bottom.
STEP 6 (On the left side): I then applied Awapuhi hydro whip and blow-dried the hair using a flat wrapping technique. I refined with scissor over comb technique. With the tips of my scissors, I carved out the outline by following the hairline. I then cut a square line from the hairline to the center of the ear with the extra length I created from the earlier over direction.
STEP 7 (On the right side): "I repeated the steps from the first side, insuring balance with the initial horizontal guide. I over directed everything up and to the first section working down to my disconnection. Upon completion of the blow dry, I then refined the disconnection with pointing and slicing techniques.
STEP 8 (The top): "Take a center parting from the crown parting to the front hairline. Cut a line working short to long connecting the back to the top. Take parallel sections and over direct all sections to the middle guideline. Apply Awapuhi hydro whip and wrap dry. I cut the fringe by over directing the hair to the left to create length to the right. I refined with pointing and slicing techniques. Mold the hair, as you like."
THE COLOR: Joico color used.
STEP 1: Pre-treat the hair with Joico Kealating, a pre-cleansing shampoo.
STEP 2: Equalize the porosity using Joico deep treatment conditioner.
STEP 3: Start with three horseshoe sections. For the bottom section, use 1oz of 4FV Vero color plus 20 volume.
STEP 4: Middle section: Use 1oz of 5RR +1 oz of 6RR + two inches of INRV plus 20 volume Vero Color Developer. Top horseshoe: 1 oz of 8RG plus 7RC and three inches of INO plus two inches of ING plus 20 volume. Disconnected piece in the back: three vertical sections. Beginning on the left side, use formula #1, middle formula #2 and right side formula #3. Process for 35 minutes for all sections.
STEP 5: After the color process, use a Joico KPac color sealer for five minutes. Then, condition with KPAC deep treatment therapy.

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown late Friday criticized Gov. Rick Scott for pushing Florida A&M President James Ammons to step down from his post amid hazing investigations, joining a chorus of angry students and alumni who say Scott is exceeding his authority.
"By carrying out this action, you may very well jeopardize the academic accreditation of FAMU, one of our nation's finest Historically Black Colleges and Universities," she said.
Brown said the death of Robert Champion -- officially ruled a homicide on Friday -- is tragic but "needs to be put into perspective" because other universities have had problems with hazing too.
"Yet focusing excessively on one incident at just one school is not the answer or the proper path towards correcting this problem," she said.
Scott met with Ammons on Friday after students protested at his mansion the night before. He remained insistent that Ammons step down while a few investigations take place. Ammons said they had a great talk and he is considering the request. The Board of Trustees meets Monday to discuss the matter.
Here's the entirety of Brown's letter:
As a proud alumni of Florida A&M University (FAMU), I am extremely disappointed with your effort to suspend the university's President, Dr. James Ammons. By carrying out this action, you may very well jeopardize the academic accreditation of FAMU, one of our nation's finest Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Although we are all very saddened by this tragic incident, I strongly believe that it needs to be put into perspective. There have been numerous incidents involving hazing in Florida schools prior to this occurrence, such as one that occurred at the University of Miami, one at the University of Central Florida, and another, at Florida State University, which have led to the state laws currently in place regarding hazing.
However, to single out FAMU and make this school a scapegoat is entirely unfair. Dr. Ammons has had an illustrious career, which began with his studies at FAMU. And let us not forget that there was a time when top FAMU school administrators could not even be in the same room to consult with administrators from other Florida colleges and universities.
Indisputably, FAMU is a national treasure, which we are fortunate to have right here in Florida. FAMU is a university with eight fully funded endowed eminent scholars, including two in the School of Journalism and Graphic Communications, four in the School of Business and Industry, one in the College of Education, and one in its School of Pharmacy, which is one of the top Pharmacological programs in the nation, and graduates the largest number of African American pharmacists in the United States.
In fact, in September, 2006, Black Enterprise Magazine, named Florida A&M the number-one college for African Americans in the United States. FAMU is also a member school of the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund, was selected as the TIME Magazine-Princeton Review "College of the Year," and was cited in 1999 by Black Issues in Higher Education for awarding more baccalaureate degrees to African-Americans than any institutions in the nation. Moreover, there are a number of FAMU graduates here in Congress, including myself, the Honorable Alcee Hastings, Congressman David Scott of Georgia, Congressman Al Green of Texas, the Honorable Congresswoman Carrie Meek and Congressman Kendrick Meek.
Lastly, a suspension of President Ammons threatens the University's compliance with Comprehensive Standard 3.2.4, which states that "The governing board is free from undue influence from political, religious or other external bodies, and protects the institution from such influence...(and) a violation of this critical standard seriously jeopardizes a University's accreditation.
Again, this is a tragic situation. I am praying for the family of Robert Champion and the rest of the FAMU family. Yet this is part of a much larger problem. Certainly, issues relating to hazing and bullying are not limited to FAMU or to black colleges but to schools nationwide and need to be addressed. Yet focusing excessively on one incident at just one school is not the answer or the proper path towards correcting this problem.
I would very much appreciate a response to this most urgent matter at your earliest possible convenience. Thank you in advance.

2013 Geneva Auto Show: Audi A3 Sportback G-Tron Runs on Natural Gas and Gasoline
- The Audi A3 Sportback g-tron is a 4-door luxury hatchback, running on both natural gas and gasoline.
- The total driving range between both fuel sources is over 800 miles.
- Audi will manufacture a special carbon-neutral gas called Audi e-gas for the Sportback g-tron.
In a novel twist on the plug-in-hybrid concept, the Audi A3 Sportback g-tron offers a one-two energy punch of its own: first compressed natural gas (CNG), then regular gasoline, if necessary. It's one of the high-tech highlights of the 2013 Geneva Auto Show.
A plug-in hybrid, of course, starts in full-electric mode and automatically switches to gasoline when the battery pack is depleted. The A3 Sportback g-tron similarly demotes gasoline to bullpen duty, but its primary energy source is clean-burning natural gas.
What's more, if you're able to fill your CNG tanks with the proprietary Audi e-gas blend, your CNG emissions will be CO2-neutral, because e-gas is made using recycled waste fuel. That's right -- Audi's in the gas business. Fun fact: The automaker's e-gas plant in Werlte, Germany, recycles as much CO2 in a year as 224,000 beech trees absorb.
Under the hood of the A3 Sportback g-tron is a turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that's been modified for CNG duty. Rated at 110 horsepower and about 147 lb-ft of torque, it's enough to get the g-tron up and moving, but the 0-to-60-mph sprint is estimated at a leisurely 11-plus seconds.
The g-tron's estimated driving range is 248 miles on CNG and 559 miles on gasoline. Twin display screens on the dashboard keep the driver apprised of each source's status and other vehicle information.
What it means to you: The Audi A3 Sportback g-tron is particularly intriguing for Americans, given the increasingly rosy projections about our domestic CNG reserves. However, Audi has not decided whether to sell the g-tron stateside as of this writing.

[Michelle O'Neil writes about the first days of meeting and training at 4 Paws for Ability with her daughter's autism service dog, which she received this month.]
Day 1
We are in our hotel suite with Riley's new doggy! We are exhausted from all the excitement. Jingle is a very sweet dog, a good match for Riley. We were told she's 35 pounds but she's taller than I thought she'd be, a lean, young dog with lots of good energy. She loves to play and is very submissive to other dogs. She does not know what to make of being here with us and seems a little lost. She was in a foster home most of her life and did one month in a women's prison. It is so cool to sit in a room with 13 dogs all day without any of them causing any trouble. Hardly any barking, no jerking leashes, no jumping.
Riley meets Jingle:
Day 2
Last night Jingle was spooked by noises outside the hotel room door and she barked a few times in the night. I tried to soothe her, "It's okay, Jingle. You're okay." I got out of bed to pat her and comfort her a couple of times.
Today we learned DO NOT TRY TO SOOTHE A BARKING DOG. A firm "NO" command will suffice. Soothing only rewards the behavior we don't want. Ooopsey!
These dogs are well trained, but they are not used to us. We have not been their trainers. Our voices are unfamiliar. Our commands sound different. They don't know if we're serious, or if they can push it. They do not respect us yet.
Jingle is a sweetie, but she's young. She is very excitable, but she takes a firm correction really well. Riley is getting more comfortable with her. She was skittish at first, afraid to give treats for fear of being bitten. She'd give a command, and then pull her hand back before delivering the treat, confusing Jingle.
Today, Riley learned a few tricks for Jingle to perform. Jingle already knows all the tricks, but taking direction from us is different. The tricks are not part of what a service dog is required to do, but the trainer says they are an important part of bonding the child and dog, (KIDS LOVE TRICKS), and a huge part of the socialization piece these dogs play for a lot of kids. She will be the kid with the cool dog who does tricks!
There is another nine-year-old girl in the class who is much like Riley. So much like Riley, that neither makes the first move, and they've hardly spoken two words to each other, but for Riley this other girl's presence seems like a relief.
4 Paws has a great set up with a playroom adjacent to the training floor. The kids are allowed to wander back and forth, and sibs have so much fun, all within eyesight/earshot of the parents being trained. The staff is really cool about kids coming in and out and kids with autism can hoot and holler and no one bats an eye.
Day 3
Today we got into the meaty stuff. Behavior disruption! This is the whole point of having a service dog for Riley, to help her with the meltdowns. Eventually, hopefully, Jingle will be able to redirect Riley before the escalation occurs. Today, a 4 Paws staff member indicated she would be role-playing a child crying (which sent Riley running from the room covering her ears before the scene even unfolded). The dogs are taught to nuzzle, to put their head in the child's lap, or to go "over," which means putting their whole body across the child's lap for deep pressure. The dogs are very attached to the people who trained them and it is sweet to see them interact with each other.
Jingle needs to get used to Riley. She's accustomed to responding to the trainers imitating meltdowns, but not Riley specifically. So for now, when Riley starts crying, we reward Jingle. She must associate Riley crying with getting something good. We are saving her very favorite treats for meltdowns. Lucky for us, homework tonight was meltdown city. Riley was so tired. She cried and screamed. She hit herself. She ran from the room.
Jingle scored with a lot of treats.
Jingle, Riley and I wound up on the bed together. Jingle did "lap" on command, and Riley pet Jingle until she felt better. Jingle was so relaxed (and tired from her hard day of training) that she fell asleep and Riley inspected every inch of her face. Riley softly stroked Jingle's whiskers, she ran her fingers over her eyebrows and around her nose.
"I like her black mustache," she said.
"I like the pink spot on her nose," I said.
Jingle let out a content sigh.
We skipped the rest of tonight's homework. Bonding was more important.
Day 4 (KISSES)!
If you think getting a service dog means you're going to show up and receive a dog that just automatically does what you tell it to do, good luck! Prior to this training, Todd and I could not imagine what we'd be doing for ten days. Ten days? Are you kidding me? Now we're kind of hoping 4 Paws doesn't notice if we stick around for an extra week or two. There is so much to learn! The whole service dog thing is a relationship. The dog has to know you and trust you.
The best part of today was KISSES! When we first got here, germ-o-phobe Riley could hardly tolerate the feel of Jingle taking a treat from her hand. She'd wipe her hands repeatedly on her pants, and was very grossed out at the possibility of saliva. The girl won't share a cup or water bottle with her own mama.
Today, she allowed the trainer to put peanut butter on her hand and command the dog, "Kisses!" Riley wavered back and forth. Yes she wanted to do it. No she didn't. Wait, yes she did. Finally she decided to go for it. With a blob of peanut butter on the back of her hand, she commanded the dog, "Kisses!" Jingle licked the peanut butter, and got a treat. Over and over. Riley let it happen. She enjoyed it. She bonded with her doggy and didn't freak out about germs! When we finished that little segment, she got up and I was sure she'd run to the bathroom to wash her hands, but she didn't! She just went and played! I am probably the only mother celebrating that her child didn't wash her hands, but I was seriously teary over this. Riley was just living. She wasn't worrying.

Pirates use 5-run fourth inning to best D'Backs
Phoenix, AZ – Starling Marte and Neil Walker each drove in two runs during a five-run fourth inning that propelled the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
Garrett Jones went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI for the Pirates, who have won the first two games of this three-game series after a 1-5 start to the season.
"We've got some guys that can hit," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "We've been able to show that the last couple of nights."
James McDonald (1-1) overcame a rough first inning to earn the win. He was charged with four runs on four hits and four walks over five frames.
Brandon McCarthy (0-1) also labored in his outing, surrendering six runs -- four earned -- on 10 hits in 6 2/3 frames for Arizona, which went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
Miguel Montero knocked in three runs while Jason Kubel added a two-run homer, though the Diamondbacks managed just six hits.
Jones' RBI single off the glove of second baseman Aaron Hill staked Pittsburgh to a 1-0 lead before Arizona put up a four-spot in the bottom half of the first.
Montero doubled deep to left to bring in Gerardo Parra and Aaron Hill, who both reached on walks, and Kubel added an opposite-field blast over the left- field wall for a 4-1 cushion.
Pittsburgh responded in the fourth, with Marte providing the first blow with a bases-loaded double into the right-field corner to knock in a pair. Walker, like Marte, was down 0-2 in the count when he singled up the middle to plate another two runs, then scored on Jones' two-out base hit.
"We weren't changing things up enough," said McCarthy of his pitch selection. "I have to be smart right there and mix things up more."
Andrew McCutchen went just 1-for-5 at the plate for the Pirates, but the center fielder made a running, over-the-head catch to rob Montero of an extra- base hit with the bases full in the seventh. The deep fly ball scored Alfredo Marte to cut Arizona's deficit to 6-5, but Jared Hughes was able to strand two runners by getting Paul Goldschmidt on a flyout to right.
Jason Grilli survived a two-out single in the ninth to close out his third save of the season.
Game Notes
The Pirates scored eight runs over their first two series and have 11 in the first two games of this set ... Arizona had a four-game winning streak stopped in the series opener ... Pittsburgh goes for the sweep Wednesday with Jonathan Sanchez on the hill opposite fellow lefty Wade Miley.

PS3 and Xbox360 oh wii too!!! pls crunchyroll just do it!!!
i want to meet a girl who loves anime so i can talk to her forever about anime.
Nice. I don't have a Roku, or plan to get one. But this is good news. I'm not sure why so many are asking for a PS3 app, I watch anime on CR every morning with my PS3. I guess mainly the problem would be trying to stream anything more than 480p tends to cause lots of buffering issues, but that might just be my internet.
I'm not much a gamer nowadays, but I'm a bigger anime fan than I ever used to be
yes.... pls a ps3 app and wii app. I wanna watch on a 720p resolution man!!!!!!
of course, my andriod as well.
haha pretty awesome
this is great news. With netflix being so big and the Roku player in a lot of homes already this was obviously a smart move. This just makes watching anime on your TV just so much easier now. Thanks!!!
I also wanted to note that it's not likely that there will be a app for the Wii. The system is just way to under powered to do HD at all let alone flash. If the Wii HD does ever come then maybe but i really do not see the CR team working on the Wii since it really is not all the powerful of a console at all.
CPU: PowerPC-based "Broadway" processor, made with a 90 nm SOI CMOS process, reportedly† clocked at 729 MHz[117]
GPU: ATI "Hollywood" GPU made with a 90 nm CMOS process,[118] reportedly† clocked at 243 MHz[117]
"Starlet", part of the Hollywood package: an ARM926EJ-S processor reportedly† clocked at 243MHz[119].
88 MB main memory (24 MB "internal" 1T-SRAM integrated into graphics package, 64 MB "external" GDDR3 SDRAM)[120]
3 MB embedded GPU texture memory and framebuffer.
This is from wikipedia so This may not be 100% but from these specs are very unimpressive. So I really can't see them working on the Wii at all. Sorry guys. I mean netflix just got on the Wii if i remember correctly a few months ago.
Gone for good.
I've been waiting for an anime channel for the Roku player ever since I got it (when they first came out) and I was sooo stoked to see it finally here! Already tested it out before and watched a few dramas that are up so far and some Bleach Can't wait for the other dramas to be up in a week or so
Dear god yes! Now only if you also had a Windows Media Center plug-in, or a streaming channel setup for the Xbox, Wii, and/or PS3.
BTW: How goes work on the native Android player? I can understand that the DRM issue is a holdback, but Progress updates would be great. The mobile flash site is an improvement in situation, but isn't all the way there yet.
You want to do what with WHAT? ...Okay, but it might be expensive.
I just ordered a Roku XD last week for my folks so they could stream Netflix - now that CR is available on it they may be getting something else for Xmas...either that or I'll be visiting more often...
To a silent world I floated down, I was snow

The Roku box is capable of 1080p...
I wouldn't mind a Wii version of CR. Okay, so the Wii doesn't have HD capabilities, but IMHO, standard definition is better than no definition. Besides, the Wii does support (anamorphic) widescreen, so that's something at least, and most if not all CR videos support progressive scan (AKA: 480p, which the Wii also supports). As for a PS3 app, that would also be a good idea. At the moment, CR works fine with the PS3's internet browser (which appears to be based on IE6), but I don't know how long that will last, so I too hope that the PS3 gets one.
Unfortunately, I have no plans to buy a Roku player at this time. Still, it's a great idea, though.
I am pretty sure most of us have games console so come on chrunchy bring it to the console.
dont forget about the windows phone 7. we need an app or sum uh.
Thank you so much for including support for the ROKU. I was an early adopter of the ROKU box and it has been wonderful the last few years of using it. The moment I found out the channel was released, I joined up for a premium account and now know what my wife and I'll be doing during the holidays.
One quick question: I signed up as an anime member. How many more drama shows are available to the anime+drama account vs what I am seeing being listed with my anime membership? I enjoy Japanese tv series similar to densha otoko. In hindsight, should have selected the full membership for my trial period Oh well.
Thanks again for supporting this platform!
I was waiting for this before getting premium membership..Roku coming in tomorrow
ahhh....zensuni...thanks for the suggestion ( IT WAS A GOOD AUGGESTION) but another additional toy in hte house?
Too many toys in the house already. .....must utlilize every means to maximum capacity. ( pushing over budget........ )

Our friends at the Tony Snow Show write:
On Today's Tony Snow Show on Fox News Radio, Senate Majority Leader Frist acknowledges that he "will use the constitutional option" if needed and that "Yes, Yes" he believes he has the votes to pass it! He also says that anyone who attempts to use the filibuster will "pay a price."
Here is the transcript in relevant part:
SEN. BILL FRIST (R-TN), SENATE MAJORITY LEADER: Tony, this fellow, Judge Alito — and I've been with him all morning. I've been with his family, and he just left here a few minutes ago. He's got a proven record. He's a proven nominee that absolutely meets the highest standards of excellence in the United States of America.
I think the political posturing from the other side is absurd. I think it is disrespectful of the nominee, who wants America — and my colleagues, more importantly the latter. But once America sees who he is, they're going to stand back and say, "He is smart, he's intelligent, a man of integrity. A powerhouse, a powerhouse in the legal profession." So I look up on all these comments from my colleagues as premature and political posturing. And, you know, if they continue it along the way, I think they're going to pay a price?
SNOW: How so?
FRIST: Well, first of all — and I said this to the judge, and I said it to my colleagues. We have got to work together as a Senate to give this qualified nominee a dignified hearing and a fair up-or-down vote. If they want to throw the word "filibuster" around before, they have had hearings before, they have had the opportunity to go back and look at his records.
And if they are going to prejudge the outcome, it's going to be a fight. And we are all ready for it. Listen, I hope there's no filibuster. I stood on principle all along on the other hand, in spite of the Gang of 14, in spite of deals being cut, on that principle that these nominees deserve an up-or-down vote. And I haven't cut deals in the past.
Obstructing judicial nominees should be a thing of the past. If the Democrats want to obstruct a nominee and not give us our constitutional right of advice and consent, an up-or-down vote, we'll take it to the mat. If a filibuster comes back, I'm not going to hesitate to employ the constitutional option to get an up-or-down vote.
SNOW: In other words, you will say to Democrats, "OK, we've been playing Mr. Nice Guy, but we're going to go ahead and vote on something that says, for the purposes of voting in the United States Senate, the Constitution requires only a majority vote. And therefore, filibusters will henceforth not be in order when it comes to judicial nominees for the federal bench by the president.
FRIST: That is correct, because the tyranny of the minority should not offend and take advantage of a system that clearly, clearly lays out in the Constitution advice and consent, meaning an up-or-down, fair, dignified up-or-down vote on the floor of the Senate.
SNOW: Do you believe you have the votes to pass the constitutional option?
FRIST: Yes, yes. You know, and why do I say that so quickly? It's because this is a proven nominee. He meets the highest standards of excellence in this country. And I have enough respect in this body, the United States Senate, the upper legislative body of the greatest country in the world, to act accordingly. And that is vote them up, vote them down. You can decide how you want to, but give this proven nominee with those highest standards of excellence a vote.

Carlson School to Host U.S. Army War College
"Opportunities in a Changing Defense Landscape: How Minnesota Can Lead the Way" to be held April 4 at 8:30 a.m. in 3M Auditorium
Representatives of the U.S. Army War College will join experts from industry, academia, and government to discuss how Minnesota can prepare for a marked reduction in national defense spending. The event will be held at the Carlson School of Management's 3M Auditorium on April 4 from 8:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Captain James Boswell, Director of the War College's Eisenhower Program will begin the discussion. Colonel Robert Humphrey will then present "The National Debt and Deficit Spending and Its Effect on our Military and National Security."
A panel discussion featuring Chip Laingen of the Defense Alliance, Alan Bignall of ReconRobotics Inc., Jay Tibbets of ATK, and a representative of the Minnesota High Tech Association will follow Col. Humphrey's remarks and audience questions.
"Opportunities in a Changing Defense Landscape: How Minnesota Can Lead the Way" is part of the U.S. Army War College's Eisenhower Series College Program. Established in 1969, the program encourages dialogue on national security and other public policy issues between senior military leaders and the public at universities throughout the United States.
Admission is free. However, due to limited seating online reservations are recommended.


text: In this address to the AFL-CIO, Dr. King compares the labor and civil rights movements. He argues that those who are anti-labor are also likely anti-civil rights. Thus, the Negro understands the labor movement and shares the same enemies. Dr. King also predicts that the coming years will be trying ones for laborers due to the automation of work processes, stating that "automation will grind jobs into dust." Dr. King urges the labor movement to strengthen itself by embracing the Negro people.

Our selection of plate casters gives you many options to bring stability and ease of steering to any application. Our durable, long-lasting casters are now available with top plates, making them even more useful for more potential applications. Swiveling and moving around corners and turns is made much easier by the stability afforded when a plate caster is used. Plus, many of these casters are available with a brake that protects equipment from any undesired movement.
Plate casters are recommended for those who intend to keep the wheel on the same piece of equipment for a longer period of time, as a plate caster is more securely attached than a stem caster. These casters offer more stability for any application through the top mounting plate, which allows the caster to be secured to your equipment in four separate spots. The even distribution of weight through the caster plate facilitates even more steering accuracy when moving equipment, making fluttering a non-concern.
With wheels fashioned from soft rubber or polyurethane, these low profile casters will not leave markings on the floor surface no matter how heavy the load placed on them. For a lower height overall with a large load capacity, choose one of our dual wheel plate casters. For best value, our economical heavy duty casters can accommodate a large load at a low price point, while still offering the stability of a plate caster As always, we offer a quantity discount to make the plate casters even more affordable.

Army of Darkness Defense Review
If you've ever wanted the chance to fire Ash's boomstick, now's you chance. Based on the film, Army of Darkness Defense is a loving nod to fans of the cult classic, complete with plenty of in-jokes and one-liners. While this makes for a fun trip down memory lane for some of us, the actual game doesn't quite live up to the source material.
Army of Darkness Defense is a side-scrolling tower defense game. Bad guys come from a tunnel on the right, and you need to defend your castle (which houses the dangerous book of the dead) on the left. You play as series hero Ash, complete with his infamous shotgun and, after a few upgrades, chainsaw hand. Ash attacks automatically, but you can also perform special attacks that recharge after a time, including a super powerful gun blast and summoning an evil book that sucks up any nearby monsters.
You just got boomstuck.
But Ash can't do it by himself. You'll also have a blacksmith, named Smithy, who will constantly produce bars of iron. And these are what you'll use to create units to help defend the castle. Weaker units, like pitchfork-wielding farmers, cost less, while more powerful ones like am armor-clad knight will require quite a few bars to summon. Enemies will also drop iron, along with money, that Ash can collect by touching.
As you make your way through wave after wave of undead enemies, you'll unlock new units and abilities, as well as defenses for your castle like archers. Virtually everything in the game can also be upgraded by spending some cash, which becomes an important strategy. Eventually you'll have more units and abilities than you can actually equip, which results in a Plants Vs Zombies-style selection screen where you're forced to choose who to use in battle and who to discard.
The main problem with the game, though, is that there's no real sense of progression. You play through the same stage over and over, only with new units and harder enemies. But it doesn't really feel like you're doing it for any real reason. You simply beat a wave to earn some money so you can upgrade for the next wave. Rinse and repeat.
He only felt calm on the battlefield.
This also means that there's quite a bit of repetition, both in terms of gameplay and presentation. While the 2.5D visuals are goofy and charming, fighting in the same stage over and over again eventually becomes tiresome. Same goes for the sound effects. Ash and his loyal army will frequently spout off familiar one-liners from the movie, which are funny at first, but grow dull after the dozenth or so time you hear them. There's simply not enough variety in either the visuals or sound.
The controls can also be a bit annoying at times, as it's very easy to accidentally purchase a unit when you're actually just trying to move Ash around. And because of the way the screen is laid out you almost always end up accidentally summoning the lowest level soldier.
With its dark setting and great sense of humor, Army of Darkness seems like the perfect candidate for a tower defense game. Unfortunately, Army of Darkness Defense amounts to little more than a much too simple game with a familiar coat of paint. And when the appeal of that coating wears off, you're left with a game with little lasting appeal.

Ashley ~utjdrs 'bitter·
and sweet' acthlism
of the church
Torture and'the soul
Matthew 4 in the age of climate change
WHEN MEL GIBSON premiered 111ePassion of tile Christ in 2004, pundits wondered if Hollywood seriously believed that movie-goers would pay mlllions to see yet another sandals-and-robes epic about the Hoi), Land, especially since the actors spoke in Latin, Hebrew, and reconstructed Aramaic. There were no big-name stars, special effects, or even a parallel 3-D version. But the public loved the film, to the tune of more than $600 million in earnings. Many were deeply moved by the story, which centers on Jesus' suffering in the hours before he is crucified. Previewing it, critic Roger Ebert remarked on the excruciating torture Jesus undergoes. He is whipped, flayed, beaten, pierced, and denied water. "The movie is 126 minutes long, and I would guess that at least 100 of those minutes, maybe more, are concerned specifically and graphically with the details of the torture and death of [esus, This is the most violent film I have ever seen:' WHAT IS THE contemporary definition of torture? The legal language is in Article 1 of the U.N. Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, ratified by the U. S. Senate in 1994. In plain English, torture is the intentional infliction ofsevere mental or physical pain or suffering by or with the consent of state authorities for a specific purpose. That purpose could be to punish, elicit information, take revenge, 0)' simply instill fear. According to the Denmark-based International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims, common methods of torture include "beating, electric shocks, stretching, submersion, suffocation, burns, rape, and sexual assault." Another category is psychological torture-"isolation, threats, humiliation, mock executions, mock amputations, and witnessing the torture of others" -all of which have potentially devastating consequences. The same year that Gibson's film was released, American media published the first horrific photos from Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. There, U.S. personnel tortured Iraqi men and women picked up in the wake of the invasion. According to the investigation by Army Major Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, U.S. personnel beat prisoners, threatened them with dogs, sexually humiliated them, and subjected them to torture sessions and mock executions. Later interviewed by The New Yorker's Seymour Hersh, Taguba said he described to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld "a naked detainee.lying on the wet floor, handcuffed, with an interrogator shoving things up his rectum, and said, 'That's not abuse. That's torture:" Subsequently, a handful of low-ranking soldiers were convicted of crimes such as dereliction of duty and aggravated assault, yet not a single commander or, so far, government official, faced punishment worse than demotion. Since that lime, Americans have learned that their government tortured prisoners in Guantanarno and kidnapped others who were sent to secret CIA "black sites" where they were tortured. Suspects-dozens since proven innocent-have been kidnapped abroad (or "rendered") by so-called "snatch teams" and sent to third countries such as Egypt, Jordan, and Uzbekistan, all with proven records of torture, Multiple vVikiLeaks releases, including an April 2011 cache, confirm that Jllally of the 779 men sent to Guantauamo have been tortured, including by prolonged sensory deprivation and near-drowning through water boarding.

'Torture supported by the U.S. has a long history that goes back to the U.S. involvement in Vietnam."
FAVORING TORTURE DOES not fall on only one side of the political aisle. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan made the U.S. the 63rd nation to sign the U.N. Convention Against Torture, declaring in his statement that ratification will "clearly express United States opposition to torture, an abhorrent practice unfortunately still prevalent in the world today:' In 2004 and since, the Democrats have had no coordinated, effective strategy against torture. Instead, in the 2007 candidates' debate Barack Obarna accused Hillary Clinton of flip-flopping on the issue. Pundits concluded that the Dems didn't want to seem "soft on terror." In the post-9111 heated debate over the use of torture against suspected terrorists, Americans have been divided on the issue. In 2009, 49 percent said the use of torture under certain circumstances is "often" or "sometimes" justified, while 47 percent believe that the torture of suspected terrorists is "rarely" or "never" justified (while 85 percent of Europeans oppose it). What do people of faith have to say about torture? Given the importance of the story of Jesus' suffering, one might assume that most Christians would be passionately opposed. But it's not that clear. A 2009 survey by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life found that 62 percent of white evangelical Protestants, 51 percent of white, non-Hispanic Catholics, and 46 percent of white mainline Protestants say the use of torture against terrorism suspects may "often" or "sometimes" be justified. Others have noted that American evangelicals tend to be more conservative politically, and conservatives Lend to be more tolerant of torture. In an online conversation
held 011 the Waslli1!gtol1 Post's "On Faith" blog in 2007, Chuck Colson, an evangelical pastor and former Nixon staffer, wrote that torture might be "inconsistent with the Christian understanding of human dignity:' but "as with all moral obligations, there may be circumstances for exception:' In a 2011 entry, American Spectator blogger Mark Tooley dismissed torture as merely "extreme discomfort" and cited a philosophy that affirms the "biblical understanding that God ordained the state to wield the sword in defense" of order and justice. Christians who oppose torture are less concerned about voices like Tooley's than they are about the deafening silence from the majority of Christian congregations. As legal scholar Jeremy Waldron noted in a 2006 Theology Today article, "Those of us who are actively engaged in this debate have listened for-yearned for and strained to hear-a contribution by the churches, and our impression is that interventions by church leaders in this debate have been late and hesitant at best:' AT A MARCH 2011 conference at Duke Divinity School, people of faith opposed to torture discussed the reasons behind this silence as well as strategies that could build a moral consensus against torture among different faiths, in particular Christianity. Co-sponsored by the" National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT), the North Carolina Council of Churches,"and the Duke Human Rights Center, the conference included Christians, Jews, Muslims, and nonbelievers who hope that congregations can inspire their members to take a more visible stand against torture. George Hunsinger, NRCAT's fo.under
and a professor of theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, opened the conference by telling attendees about when he first saw the Abu Ghraib photos. "Torture supported by the U.S. has a long history that goes back to the U.S. involvement in Vietnam;' he said. Hunsinger first became concerned about torture in 1970, after reading about the "tiger cages" used by the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government against prisoners, including student dissidents. Subsequently, Hunsinger joined the board of American Christians for the Abolition of Torture, which disbanded after the U.S. ratified the U.N. Convention on Torture. The Abu Ghraib photos moved him to initiate NRCAT in 2006 and to organize opposition to torture within major faith traditions. ''A time comes when silence is betrayal:' Hunsinger declared, quoting Martin Luther King Yr. An early collaborator was David Gushee, a Mercer University ethicist. In 2006, Gushee published in Christlanlty Today a "distinctively Christian" defense against torture. He cited five arguments, three of them directly based on scripture. Torture violates human dignity (Genesis 1:26-28); Christians should be just, especially toward the most vulnerable, and torture is by definition unjust (Exodus 22:21-23); humans cannot be trusted, in particular when, like the torturers, they have power that can be abused (Romans 3: 10·18); torture dehumanizes the torturers as well as tortured: and torture erodes the character of the nation that tortures. Yet, Gushee acknowledged, convincing ministers to approach their flocks to oppose torture is challenging, even with young, COI11rnitted sem inary graduates. "Most graduates are trying to find jobs in churches, whose membership is declining:' he said. "No one wants to offend their congregants about irritating issues like torture." Some Christians would draw the line between torture, which they see as a political issue, and faith. Gushee said that when he gave a talk at a Baptist church, one attendee accused him of bringing "leftist politics" into the church. "Even the growing churches aren't interested in these conversations:' Gushee reported. "TI1ey don't want to mess lip a good thing and don't think it is a part of their agenda, which is one of personal
growth and finding your best life now:' Despite these challenges, Gushee insisted that Christians must argue against tort me. Torture, he said, "is the most unloving thing you can do to a person. It's hateful and contemptuolls and therefore contemptible:' Also in 2006, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops asserted that/'any policies that permit torture and inhumane treatment are shocking and morally intolerable. Nothing less is at stake in the torture abuse crisis than the soul of our nation. What does it signify if torture is condemned in word but allowed in deed? Let America abolish torture now-without exceptions:' During the Duke conference, which included Duke Judaism scholar Kalman Bland and the university's Muslim chaplain, Abdullah Antepli, discussion focused on how opposition to torture can be grounded in holy text. Antepli was emphatic: ''Anyone who tries to justify torture based on Islam is outright wrong:' Speaking as a religion scholar and rabbi. Kalman Bland noted that, in the Jewish tradition, scripture is always elusive. All religions have, he stressed, the capacity to either support or oppose torture. Richard Cizik, an evangelical leader who described himself as a "convert" to an anti-torture stand, pointed out that Puritans tortured to death people suspected of witchcraft ..Catholics used it to root out and punish suspected heretics. In rna] ority Islamic countries such as Egypt and Turkey, torture has been routinely practiced on suspected criminals and dissidents. Though the state of Israel is secular, the country is overwhelmingly Jewish and has been accused by human rights groups of torturing Palestinians. ""\'e need to articulate a vision-to convince Christians to think about and see more clearly what torture really is:' Cizik said, who is president of the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good, which opposes torture. Cizik urged Christians to accept as absolute that "the human person is sacred and made in the image of God." For Cizik, the cross and the torture Jesus endured are the essential touchstones for evangelicals. "In Jesus Christ, we see God exchanging his life for the life of his enemies. TIle teaching ofloving your enemies makes no sense without death and resurrection. All of Christian teaching makes no sense apart from Easter
and Good Friday. \'Vemust love our enemies, not torture them:' Am)' Laura Hall, a Duke Divinity professor who organized theconference, believes that white American Christians in particular need to reflect on why the language of human rights has been taken out of contemporary theology. "How did we lose the capacity to use words like equality, democracy, and solidarity?" As the conference dosed, a consensus emerged that faith or morality-based arguments will convince some, but will leave others, even the most devout, unconvinced, "Moral appeals alone won't work unless they are linked to practical arguments;' among them that torture is ineffective, illegal, and can harm the torturer along with his or her victim, Gushee said. For Hall, it's overwhelming to take on torture as a whole: "We have to be able to identify the micro-winnable battles so we don't risk losing heart against the massive Godzilla of the problem;' She urged small groups of Christians to organize and educate their fellow congregants, then contact their political representatives. NRCAT is releasing a video of interreligious leaders speaking against torture as well as faith-based study guides that frame opposition to torture. In terms of policy , NRCAT is pressing the Obama administration to pass the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture, which would establish an international inspection system, modeled on the European system, for places of detention. In addition, NRCAT supports a governmentbacked "Commission of'Inquiry" that would examine the u.s. torture record and recommend reforms. For Linda Gustitus, NRCAT's president, the commission is critical, since its bipartisan members would gather facts, develop recommendations, and provide Americans with a record of what was done in the mistaken effort to provide security, "TI1is is not a partisan issue, nor is it an issue of national defense," Gustitus said. "It's a matter of our moral character and leadership. People of faith need to speak up:' •

Layering in the Home
Dressing in layers is what gets us through these transitional seasons when it's sunny and warm one day and gray and cold the next. The layered look can serve well in the home, as well. It can provide visual interest, texture, depth, and a sense of abundance.
We mostly think of layering (clothes and housewares) in the winter. Something about winter makes us want to gather more around us, whereas summer makes us want to clear it all away. Some layered looks we found for the home:
• 1 Layered mirrors provide an almost prismatic effect, reflecting light from multiple surfaces. (eHow)
• 2 Layered artwork creates a lot of texture, especially when using contrasting frames like these. And, like layered clothing, it's versatile in that you can rotate what's in front, middle and back. (The Washington Post)
• 3 Layered bedding can be so inviting. And extra texture is added here by pintucks in the comforter, from West Elm.
• 4 This white on white dish layering really accentuates the textures of the different plates. (Designs by Gollum)
• 5 Layered rugs can add a lot of visual warmth. (Living Etc.)

JavaFX and Adobe Flex Insider Shares Thoughts
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
Chet Haase of Adobe Systems, who previously worked at Sun on the JavaFX team, shared the following comparisons of JavaFX and Adobe Flex on the Yahoo FlexCoder group.
- Maturity: One of the reasons that you haven't heard much about JavaFX to date is that it's actually not yet released. Supposedly this will happen in the very near future, so maybe we'll all hear more about it at that time.
- Language: Although many of the underlying capabilities of JavaFX rely on the Java SE platform, JavaFX itself is based on a new scripting language (not Java, not JavaScript, not ActionScript, but a new scripting language entirely). One notable differences between the languages of JavaFX and Flex is that Flex uses MXML for its declarative aspects, and ActionScript for the programmatic aspects. The JavaFX language combines both of these elements, having aspects of declarative and programmatic in the same code.
- GUI capabilities: Both platforms offer GUI components, graphics, animation, and databinding capabilities, thought the platforms differ widely in syntax and capabilities of these different features.
- Tooling: Most of the tooling so far announced for JavaFX are more on the code developer side; editing plugins for NetBeans, plus export plugins for Illustrator and Photoshop (they produce PNG files from the layers in the project). On the Flex side, there's the FlexBuilder IDE and the in-development tools such as Flash Catalyst for designer/developer workflows and FXG roundtrip import/export from/to the CS tools including Catalys for the graphics tags in the Gumbo release of the SDK.
- Runtime availability: The availability of the JavaFX runtime is basically that of the Java platform (if a user's machine does not have the proper release of Java (I believe it will require the latest updated 10 release), they will need to download/install it). The availability of Flex is basically that of the Flash platform of the appropriate version (e.g., Gumbo will run on FlashPlayer 10).
Chet does acknowledge that the view from the inside can be different, and offers the following query on how others view the platforms.
I would be curious to find out how others view the platforms, especially from the standpoint of external application developers...
In the past, InfoQ covered Chet's departure for Adobe, and has featured him in both interviews and video.

Note that while Gumbo requires Flash Player 10 most people are building apps with Flex 2 or 3 which requires Flash Player 9. Flash Player 9 is (allegedly) installed on "most" computers.

"Flex components use channel sets, which contain one or more channels, to contact the server. You can automatically or manually create and assign a channel set to a Flex component. The channel allows the component to contact the endpoint, which forwards the request to the destination."

Mobile Broadband… You might have heard this term before, possibly in an ISP environment. The term has always represented a name of a department within a mobile operator or a vendor organization. It is always there in profile description for telecom professionals. It is everywhere actually when it comes to a certain ecosystem or framework that delivers Internet Service using Mobile Network.
Let me bring the Wikipedia definition followed with a small note …
Mobile broadband is the marketing term for wireless Internet access through a portable modem, mobile phone, USB wireless modem, tablet or other mobile devices.
Definition is true but the note here is that you can't rely solely on google to understand the MBB related technologies (EDGE, UMTS, 4G/LTE, etc.) because what is in google is mainly the marketing articles and the vendor specific publications which is fine but as a lesson learned, one need always to understand the technology concept decoupled from vendors influence.
The good thing is that the whole knowledge, principles, & Service descriptions for Mobile Broadband is there in the standards. Mainly the 3GPP which is freely accessible. So I'd clearly say that the "debate" that it is hard to get the knowledge of the MBB is "debatable"!
One just need to know how to get the information? Which 3GPP standard Specifications? Which 3GPP Release? Throughout this article, I am going to talk about the Mobile broadband evolution and the related standardization specifications which will enable the audience to see the big picture of the MBB and the plan is that by the end of the Five articles series, readers will be on the Mobile Broadband Track.

Finding the right nursing home can help you or your loved one feel safe and cared for.
A good first step to choosing a nursing home is to make a list of homes you might be interested in. Talk to family, friends, doctors, and others to get recommendations of good nursing homes.
If you can, it's good to plan ahead so you have time to learn all you can about the nursing homes you're interested in. If you need to make a decision quickly, try to visit the nursing homes on your list at least once before you choose. Make sure you understand the cost and payment options for each nursing home.
Choosing the right nursing home is a very personal process. If you're helping someone else who is of sound mind, the final choice is up to that person.
If your loved one isn't mentally capable of making a decision, another person (maybe you) needs to be given the legal right to choose for him or her. By making your loved one as much a part of the process as possible, you can help him or her find the right place to live.
If this is the case, choosing a nursing home can be a delicate process. A nursing home that seems perfect to you might not seem that way to your loved one. He or she may be having a hard time leaving home. Your loved one may feel sad or frustrated at what feels like a loss of control over his or her life.
As you look at each nursing home, keep in mind that there are no federal requirements for how many employees a nursing home has to have. Ask questions to make sure that there are enough nurses and other staff to give you or your loved one the care you need.
I can be sure to get the care I need by choosing a nursing home with the federally required number of staff.
There are no federal standards for how many staff a nursing home should have. But you can get a good idea whether there are enough staff by visiting the nursing home and talking with its representatives, residents, and staff.
Continue to Why?
Visiting a nursing home is the best way to find out if it's right for you or your loved one. People you know and trust may recommend nursing homes that they like. The best way to see if the nursing home, the residents, and the staff feel right to you is to go there in person.
If you can, visit the nursing homes on your list with your family. It may be helpful to keep written notes about each nursing home. You may want to visit each one more than once.
You may also want to try just dropping by the nursing home so you can see what it's like on a normal day. While you're there, ask for a copy of the most recent inspection report.
As long as someone I trust has recommended a nursing home to me, that's all I need to know to make my choice.
The best way to know if a nursing home is right for you is by visiting it yourself. While you're there, make sure that the nursing home is inspected regularly.
The best way to know if a nursing home is right for you is by visiting it yourself. While you're there, make sure that the nursing home is inspected regularly.
Continue to How?
As you look at the choices before you or your loved one, pay special attention to the cost of each nursing home, how each one feels to you, where it's located, and the levels of nursing care it provides. Does the nursing home provide enough help with daily tasks? Is 24-hour nursing care available?
Answering the following questions can help you make the best possible decision:
As long as a nursing home feels good to me, that's all I need to make my decision.
There are a lot of things to think about before you choose a nursing home. How it feels to you is important. But make sure it has a good safety record, that it can deliver care to someone with your specific needs, and that you can afford it.

The human user is the first line of cybersecurity defense but also a persistent weakness
One of the holiday season's top cybersecurity stories was the phony White House Christmas e-card that was opened by a number of U.S., state and foreign government workers. It installed malicious executable code to search the victim's PC for documents and send them off to a server in Belarus.
It's easy for those of us who never would fall for such a ploy to say, "What were you thinking? You should never open up suspicious attachments, and you should delete all electronic greeting cards without opening them."
That's my advice, at least. And, as far as it goes, it's good advice.
"You should delete them," agreed Anup Ghosh, founder and chief scientist at Invincea, a company that provides desktop browser security. "You can't tell where it is coming from."
Related coverage:
Phony White House e-card the work of spies?
But people send electronic greeting cards because they are convenient, and people open them because they are human, whether they know better or not. Like all successful social engineering tricks, "they appeal to the user's desires, fears or sense of humor," Ghosh said. "The curiosity factor overwhelms any voice in your head saying, 'Maybe this isn't legit.'"
For that reason, a security policy that relies on human judgment is a bad policy, Ghosh said. "Just saying no is part of the problem."
Ghosh has a corporate interest in this issue: His company sells a virtual, isolated browser environment that detects threats and disposes of them by getting rid of the environment. It's a disposable browser that you don't have to worry about infecting.
Hallmark, another party with an interest in the phishing issue, also preaches safety over abstinence.
"While phony e-cards are one way this stuff gets delivered, it's actually an issue that affects any brand that is trusted by the public, which means that never opening a link to anything may not be the most practical solution," said Hallmark spokeswoman Linda Odell. "At Hallmark, we address the issue on three levels: technical, legal and consumer awareness."
Hallmark goes after phishers that exploit its brand and shuts them down as quickly as possible. But those bad actors change names, addresses and servers fast and frequently, so the company's primary defense is to educate consumers about the safeguards of a genuine Hallmark e-card. Legitimate card notifications do not contain attachments and should always include the name of someone you know as the sender, along with a confirmation number. To retrieve a legitimate card, recipients should manually type www.hallmark.com/getecard into a browser and enter the e-mail address and confirmation number.
That's all well and good, but what does all that effort get you? An e-greeting card. I don't want to sound like a curmudgeon, but an e-card from someone who doesn't think enough of you to buy a paper card and a stamp and address an envelope isn't that great a loss. On the one hand, you might miss an amusing song and dance (if you are easily amused). On the other hand, even with safeguards, you could open yourself up to an infection that could compromise security and lead to an embarrassing paragraph about you in the morning news.
I agree that an effective security policy requires technology to protect users and enforce good practices, as well as establish prohibitions, and that a policy that relies only on saying no is not a good idea.
But saying no is a good starting point. And for those of you who opened phony greeting cards over the holidays: What were you thinking? You should delete those things.

The user problem can be mitigated by education. For instance, you can download a zipped attachment, unzip it (don't click to execute), and upload the unzipped file to an online virus scanning service, such as Jotti or Virus Total. You can also manually scan the file with most of the antivirus programs that are installed on desktop computers if they do not recoginze an infection when you download the zipped file. Of course education takes some time/resources, and most businesses don't want to bother with that--prefering for the employees to educate themselves!
The weak link in all of IT is the human factor. This has been a well known fact for several decades now, but is often times nor reidily recognized. What amazes me is regarding the ecard incident with the White House is that they decided to use an ecard service from Belirus instead of say an American service like Halmark Cards.
I'm a pretty savvy user, and I tend to look over the details of an attachment before opening it, and I know what to look for in an e-card. Overall I found this an antiquated and unhelpful commentary. Perhaps "just don't" is a useful policy for Grandma, or a boss two years from retirement. But William Jackson's advice seems otherwise much like a codger in 1909 saying that the best way to deal with the problems with those newfangled gasoline auto-mobiles is to get a horse. Thanks. I haven't sent a paper greeting card in five years, and find it vaguely irritating when my friends do. Another piece of paper to track...thrilling. My friends communicate almost exclusively electronically, and in five years, sending a "Greeting Card" by mail is going to be about as relevant or appreciated as a Western Union Telegram in my childhood, when long-distance had made the telegram a purely symbolic gesture. Hallmark's attempt to create an informed and savvy public is far more relevant and helpful to modern users than Mr. Jackson's curmudgeonly advice. Three rules of thumb for identifying spoofs would have been a better use of bandwidth than this outmoded rant...

New Work from Buena Vista Tattoo Club
As I finish up the second volume of my Black Tattoo Art book, I can't help but share some of the images as a preview to what will drop later in the Spring.
These tattoos are created by the wonderful Buena Vista Tattoo Club in Wurzburg, Germany. Artists Volko Merschky & Simone Pfaff describe their unique body of work as "trash polka," blending a variety of genres into exciting pieces, which defy categorization. I love the marriage of black & grey, stencil art, and often collage construction. Can't wait to show y'all the rest in the book, much of it unpublished.
But for now, you can check more of their portfolios on their site and on Facebook.

I have had a journey with madeleines similar to yours with macarons! I love La Grande Epicerie(even just saying it!) and have brought back numerous "samples" to try to replicate.ReplyDelete
Wish I was there now just to smell the aromas!
Thanks for our colorful shopping adventure, Carol! Enjoyed it!!ReplyDelete
You sure know how to set our hearts aflutter! :-)ReplyDelete
Btw, while in Corsica, I noticed the macaron-colored egg cartons and put a few empty ones in my shopping cart. Then I did the correct thing and put it on the conveyor belt, ready to pay for them. Would you believe that I was not allowed to buy them? No empty egg cartons for sale! So, next time, I shall put 1 egg in each of the cartons. Let's see what happens! ;-)
Always drooling in there Carol... Not a good look! xvReplyDelete

Did you pay a visit to the rayon dairy and check the yaourt ( yogurt…) it looks so fantastiquement fraiche and attractive.
I love it all – vive la Grande Epicerie

I thought I took it all in..
Holly and I were there less than a week ago and did our share of drooling and shopping. After being fussed at for "the camera" I am impressed at your stealth photos! It would help if either I did not try to use the LARGE camera or if my point and shoot was not ORANGE... lessons learned!ReplyDelete
