Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.
Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline. You have to make a time schedule for yourself and stick to it. There will be a time frame of course for any job you take up and you have to fulfill that project within that time frame.
There are many things that can be done working from home. A few of them is listed below that will give you a general idea about the benefits of this concept.
This is the most common and highly preferred job that Women & Men like doing. Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.
For those who have a garden or an open space at your disposal and are also interested in gardening can go for this method of earning money. If given proper time and efforts nursery business can flourish very well and you will earn handsomely. But just as all jobs establishing it will be a bit difficult but the end results are outstanding.
Freelance can be in different wings. Either you can be a freelance reporter or a freelance photographer. You can also do designing or be in the advertising field doing project on your own. Being independent and working independently will depend on your field of work and the availability of its worth in the market. If you like doing jewellery designing you can do that at home totally independently. You can also work on freelancing as a marketing executive working from home. Wanna know more, email us on email@example.com and we will send you information on how you can actually work as a marketing freelancer.
Internet related work
This is a very vast field and here sky is the limit. All you need is a computer and Internet facility. Whatever field you are into work at home is perfect match in the software field. You can match your time according to your convenience and complete whatever projects you get. To learn more about how to work from home, contact us today on firstname.lastname@example.com our team will get you started on some excellent work from home projects.
Diet food
Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.
Thus think over this concept and go ahead.

Editor's note: Interested in this Curve but use Verizon or Sprint? Read our BlackBerry Curve 8530 review.
Reviewed August 8, 2009 by Lisa Gade, Editor
in Chief
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 aims to go where no 'Berry has gone before, a land with no trackball. RIM's trackball is beloved and like the BlackBerry line, addictive. It's responsive, accurate and more efficient than the much more common d-pad. So why axe it? The trackball does pick up dirt which can affect performance (and require an alcohol rub-down to get working), gets dingy and involves several moving parts (moving parts are more likely to break down). The Curve 8520 instead has a small optical trackpad in place of the trackball and miraculously it works nearly exactly like the trackball. And it moves down and clicks for the center-press action-- nice. No small engineering achievement on RIM's part, the trackpad is great. For those of you who've used the optical pads on Samsung phones such as the Omnia and some imports, this isn't the same animal: it's much more precise and controllable.
The Curve 8520's other new hardware feature is the music playback control cluster that lines the phone's top edge. All the Berry's edges are rubberized, giving it a rugged feel and the top music controls for track forward, track back and play/pause are under rubber. The controls are easy to use, as are the other under-rubber buttons for volume, camera and voice command.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 replaces the Curve 8320 on T-Mobile and it's smaller and sleeker looking. The smartphone is available in black and "frost" which is a very dull battleship gray. In black it looks quite good, in frost it looks dull and cheap to us. The Curve 8520 joins the excellent BlackBerry Curve 8900 in T-Mobile's lineup, and that's the 8520's biggest problem. Currently priced at only $20 less, the 8520 has weaker specs in several key areas: lower display resolution, a lower resolution camera and no GPS. If and when T-Mobile drops the 8520's price relative to the 8900, it will make much more sense in their lineup.
The BlackBerry Tour (Sprint) and the BlackBerry Curve 8520.
The 8520 is a quad band GSM world phone with EDGE for data. It has WiFi 802.11b/g with support for UMA calling over WiFi and T-Mobile's @Home service. As with most UMA phones on T-Mobile, it works very well and call hand-offs are seamless. The phone has a 2.46" QVGA 320 x 240 pixel display, a 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and an SDHC microSD card slot.
The Curve runs BlackBerry OS 4.6.1 on a 512MHz processor with 256 megs of flash memory, of which 125 megs are free to store documents and applications. It's responsive and stable.
Looking at the hardware
The BlackBerry 8520 has a few changes in the control cluster: rather than raised buttons for call send/end, menu and back, there are no buttons but rather mechanical switches under the smooth surface. Two raised ridges make it easier to find the "buttons" which would otherwise be lost to the blind finger. The switches do click nicely so you know you've hit the button. The look is modern and trendy, and we've seen the same thing on several recent Nokia S60 N series smartphones.
The QWERTY keys are raised and have a good tactile click. As BlackBerry phones get smaller, so do the keys but we found the Curve 8520's manageable and easier to type on than the Curve 8900's. The key surfaces aren't slippery and they're flat rather than the "wave" style. The keyboard's keys are backlit in white and the control cluster is also backlit in white except the call send and end buttons which are green and red, as you'd expect.
As mentioned, the sides and top and bottom caps are rubberized. A little inspiration from Nextel? But unlike the ruggedized and rubberized Nextel phones of old, the BlackBerry 8520 doesn't look like it was designed to live on a construction site-- it's subtle. Obviously the rubber makes the phone easier to hold onto, and it makes the phone look less monotonous. The front face and rear battery door are shiny plastic. There's no real or faux metal back door here, no Bold leather treatment and the battery door doesn't even get a release latch-- you pry at it to get it off. And yes, those shiny parts latch onto fingerprint grime like crazy, making the 'Berry look hazy.
The microSD card slot is under the battery door, but you need not remove the battery to access the card.

Video Review
Here's our 7.5 minute video review of the BlackBerry Curve 8520:
Phone, email and Internet
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is a GSM quad band world phone with EDGE. It will work anywhere GSM service is available. You can make calls over the GSM network or over WiFi if you subscribe to T-Mobile @Home service. The phone hands off calls to and from WiFi seamlessly and automatically uses UMA and the WiFi network if in range of a known and saved hotspot/router. Call quality is good and the volume is good as well. Both incoming and outgoing voice are clear, though call recipients could tell we were on a cell phone (it can't compete with the BlackBerry Bold's simply awesome call quality, but it ain't bad either). Reception is good, and a bit better than the 8900 we reviewed, and the speakerphone is very loud and clear. The 8520 supports T-Mobile's myFaves service and has a theme that puts MyFaves on the standby screen.
BlackBerry email on the other hand, is still the best game in town. If you want push email, support for multiple accounts and that sense that you'll never, ever, ever be out of touch for a moment, the Crackberry is for you. There's also the usual inter-BlackBerry Messenger, SMS, MMS and a host of IM services: AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Yahoo and Windows Live. T-Mobile's BlackBerry unlimited data plan (BIS) currently costs $25/month and is required with a new contract. Their unlimited Enterprise data plan (BES) is $30/month and there are versions with text message bundles too.
Display and Multimedia
The Curve's 2.46" QVGA display is clear and sharp, though not quite as bright and vivid as the Curve 8900 and Bold's display. It is easier on the eyes compared to the 8900, whose high resolution on a small screen makes for tiny text. The Curve 8520's speaker is very loud and clear, and we had no trouble hearing the soundtracks that accompanied video. The music player obviously works best with a stereo headset (one is included) or A2DP Bluetooth stereo headphones/headsets. The speaker sounds good but no phone's speaker can replace good audio out. The new hardware audio controls work well and certainly are handy, but the media player remains unchanged. RIM's media player is attractive and capable though, and it handles video, music, photos, ringtones and voice notes as well as podcasts. The phone had no trouble playing locally stored MPEG4 videos encoded at QVGA resolution, 650kbps.
The 2 megapixel camera, alas, takes mediocre photos. It has no flash and a fixed focus lens, and indoor noise is particularly notable. Outdoor shots lack good dynamic range and colors are somewhat muted. If photography is your thing, consider the BlackBerry Curve 8900 with its 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera.
The BlackBerry 8520 has an 1150 mAh Lithium Ion rechargeable battery that's user replaceable. Since the 8520 lacks a GPS and 3G, two battery-killers, battery life is good. The phone easily lasted us 3 days on a charge with moderate use. UMA calling and WiFi are well optimized and the phone lasted 1.5 days with WiFi on and UMA calling active-- better than the first crop of UMA BlackBerry smartphones on T-Mobile.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is a solid phone and we found little to dislike. Really, it's hard to imagine a "poor" BlackBerry-- RIM's products are always solidly functional. It looks good in black (you know what we think of the "frost" color), and is sturdy and stable. In fact, it's more stable than the Curve 8900 was at release. The slim feature set might appeal to budget-minded BlackBerry buyers, but the problem is that the more full-featured and higher spec BlackBerry Curve 8900 is currently only $20 more on contract. At that differential, we have to recommend the Curve 8900 over the 8520. But if the prices start to diverge and the 8520 drops to $50 less, then we would recommend it to budget buyers who don't need a GPS or better camera. And if you want to buy a new 'Berry without a contract extension, the retail (no contract) price of the Curve 8520 is $150 less, which makes much more sense.

They look gorgeous and how lovely to have lots of eggs now. And it must be great for the chickens to be enjoying their new home and exploring outdoors too.ReplyDelete
How wonderful, they look like beautiful ladies :). Hope they lay for a while before it gets cold.ReplyDelete

I know how frustrating it can be to have chickens, but no eggs. Our flock is down to 5 and I haven't seen an egg in 2 weeks and before that it was about 2 per week. They still make me smile though.ReplyDelete
What lovely new photos. Happy new hens. We were offered some pretty ones for Ahmad's coop but sadly there is too much disruptive building going to be happening soon and so we'll wait a little so they can arrive to a more peaceful start to their new home.ReplyDelete
Happy egg collecting.
Those eggs are beautiful! I bet they make the best custard! :)ReplyDelete

"Peace, unbeliever! — not a word in our presence, save in answer to our questions. — What is thy business with our brother Brian de Bois-Guilbert?"
Isaac gasped with terror and uncertainty. To tell his tale might be interpreted into scandalizing the Order; yet, unless he told it, what hope could he have of achieving his daughter's deliverance? Beaumanoir saw his mortal apprehension, and condescended to give him some assurance.
"Fear nothing," he said, "for thy wretched person, Jew, so thou dealest uprightly in this matter. I demand again to know from thee thy business with Brian de Bois-Guilbert?"
"I am bearer of a letter," stammered out the Jew, "so please your reverend valour, to that good knight, from Prior Aymer of the Abbey of Jorvaulx."
"Said I not these were evil times, Conrade?" said the Master. "A Cistertian Prior sends a letter to a soldier of the Temple, and can find no more fitting messenger than an unbelieving Jew. — Give me the letter."
The Jew, with trembling hands, undid the folds of his Armenian cap, in which he had deposited the Prior's tablets for the greater security, and was about to approach, with hand extended and body crouched, to place it within the reach of his grim interrogator.
"Back, dog!" said the Grand Master; "I touch not misbelievers, save with the sword. — Conrade, take thou the letter from the Jew, and give it to me."
Beaumanoir, being thus possessed of the tablets, inspected the outside carefully, and then proceeded to undo the packthread which secured its folds. "Reverend father," said Conrade, interposing, though with much deference, "wilt thou break the seal?"
"And will I not?" said Beaumanoir, with a frown. "Is it not written in the forty-second capital, 'De Lectione Literarum' that a Templar shall not receive a letter, no not from his father, without communicating the same to the Grand Master, and reading it in his presence?"
He then perused the letter in haste, with an expression of surprise and horror; read it over again more slowly; then holding it out to Conrade with one hand, and slightly striking it with the other, exclaimed — "Here is goodly stuff for one Christian man to write to another, and both members, and no inconsiderable members, of religious professions! When," said he solemnly, and looking upward, "wilt thou come with thy fanners to purge the thrashing-floor?"
Mont-Fitchet took the letter from his Superior, and was about to peruse it.
"Read it aloud, Conrade," said the Grand Master, — "and do thou" (to Isaac) "attend to the purport of it, for we will question thee concerning it."
Conrade read the letter, which was in these words: "Aymer, by divine grace, Prior of the Cistertian house of Saint Mary's of Jorvaulx, to Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert, a Knight of the holy Order of the Temple, wisheth health, with the bounties of King Bacchus and of my Lady Venus. Touching our present condition, dear Brother, we are a captive in the hands of certain lawless and godless men, who have not feared to detain our person, and put us to ransom; whereby we have also learned of Front-de-Boeuf's misfortune, and that thou hast escaped with that fair Jewish sorceress, whose black eyes have bewitched thee. We are heartily rejoiced of thy safety; nevertheless, we pray thee to be on thy guard in the matter of this second Witch of Endor; for we are privately assured that your Great Master, who careth not a bean for cherry cheeks and black eyes, comes from Normandy to diminish your mirth, and amend your misdoings. Wherefore we pray you heartily to beware, and to be found watching, even as the Holy Text hath it, 'Invenientur vigilantes'. And the wealthy Jew her father, Isaac of York, having prayed of me letters in his behalf, I gave him these, earnestly advising, and in a sort entreating, that you do hold the damsel to ransom, seeing he will pay you from his bags as much as may find fifty damsels upon safer terms, whereof I trust to have my part when we make merry together, as true brothers, not forgetting the wine-cup. For what saith the text, 'Vinum laetificat cor hominis'; and again, 'Rex delectabitur pulchritudine tua'.
"Till which merry meeting, we wish you farewell. Given from this den of thieves, about the hour of matins,
"Aymer Pr. S. M. Jorvolciencis.
"'Postscriptum.' Truly your golden chain hath not long abidden with me, and will now sustain, around the neck of an outlaw deer-stealer, the whistle wherewith he calleth on his hounds."
"What sayest thou to this, Conrade?" said the Grand Master — "Den of thieves! and a fit residence is a den of thieves for such a Prior. No wonder that the hand of God is upon us, and that in the Holy Land we lose place by place, foot by foot, before the infidels, when we have such churchmen as this Aymer. — And what meaneth he, I trow, by this second Witch of Endor?" said he to his confident, something apart. Conrade was better acquainted (perhaps by practice) with the jargon of gallantry, than was his Superior; and he expounded the passage which embarrassed the Grand Master, to be a sort of language used by worldly men towards those whom they loved 'par amours'; but the explanation did not satisfy the bigoted Beaumanoir.
"There is more in it than thou dost guess, Conrade; thy simplicity is no match for this deep abyss of wickedness. This Rebecca of York was a pupil of that Miriam of whom thou hast heard. Thou shalt hear the Jew own it even now." Then turning to Isaac, he said aloud, "Thy daughter, then, is prisoner with Brian de Bois-Guilbert?"
"Ay, reverend valorous sir," stammered poor Isaac, "and whatsoever ransom a poor man may pay for her deliverance — -"
"Peace!" said the Grand Master. "This thy daughter hath practised the art of healing, hath she not?"
"Ay, gracious sir," answered the Jew, with more confidence; "and knight and yeoman, squire and vassal, may bless the goodly gift which Heaven hath assigned to her. Many a one can testify that she hath recovered them by her art, when every other human aid hath proved vain; but the blessing of the God of Jacob was upon her."
Beaumanoir turned to Mont-Fitchet with a grim smile. "See, brother," he said, "the deceptions of the devouring Enemy! Behold the baits with which he fishes for souls, giving a poor space of earthly life in exchange for eternal happiness hereafter. Well said our blessed rule, 'Semper percutiatur leo vorans'. — Up on the lion! Down with the destroyer!" said he, shaking aloft his mystic abacus, as if in defiance of the powers of darkness — "Thy daughter worketh the cures, I doubt not," thus he went on to address the Jew, "by words and sighs, and periapts, and other cabalistical mysteries."
"Nay, reverend and brave Knight," answered Isaac, "but in chief measure by a balsam of marvellous virtue."
"Where had she that secret?" said Beaumanoir.
"It was delivered to her," answered Isaac, reluctantly, "by Miriam, a sage matron of our tribe."
"Ah, false Jew!" said the Grand Master; "was it not from that same witch Miriam, the abomination of whose enchantments have been heard of throughout every Christian land?" exclaimed the Grand Master, crossing himself. "Her body was burnt at a stake, and her ashes were scattered to the four winds; and so be it with me and mine Order, if I do not as much to her pupil, and more also! I will teach her to throw spell and incantation over the soldiers of the blessed Temple. — There, Damian, spurn this Jew from the gate — shoot him dead if he oppose or turn again. With his daughter we will deal as the Christian law and our own high office warrant."
Poor Isaac was hurried off accordingly, and expelled from the preceptory; all his entreaties, and even his offers, unheard and disregarded. He could do not better than return to the house of the Rabbi, and endeavour, through his means, to learn how his daughter was to be disposed of. He had hitherto feared for her honour, he was now to tremble for her life. Meanwhile, the Grand Master ordered to his presence the Preceptor of Templestowe.

Goody, who died of cervical cancer at the age of 27, was regarded by many as a national treasure who overcame the disadvantages of her birth to achieve fame and fortune.
Her supporters included the presenter Stephen Fry, who hailed her as "a kind of Princess Di from the wrong side of the tracks". However, Sir Michael was damning in his judgment of Goody and the media circus which surrounded her in life and in death.
"Jade Goody has her own place in the history of television and, while it's significant, it's nothing to be proud of. Her death is as sad as the death of any young person, but it's not the passing of a martyr or a saint or, God help us, Princess Di," he said.
"When we clear the media smoke screen from around her death what we're left with is a woman who came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today. She was brought up on a sink estate, as a child came to know both drugs and crime, was barely educated, ignorant and puerile. Then she was projected to celebrity by Big Brother and from that point on became a media chattel to be manipulated and exploited till the day she died."
Writing in the Radio Times, Sir Michael named celebrities whom he deemed to be worthy role models. "Certain people gift you ambition. When I saw Tom Graveney I wanted to be a professional cricketer. When I first set eyes on Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca I wanted to marry her. And seeing Alan Whicker on television gave me the idea that a life in telly might be fun," he said, adding: "One out of three ain't bad."
Thousands lined the streets on Saturday to pay their respects to Goody as her funeral cortege made its way from her childhood home of Bermondsey, south London to the church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex. Giant screens relayed the service to the tearful crowd outside, and proceedings were broadcast live on television.
Her coffin was accompanied by floral wreaths which spelled out the 'Jade-isms' which made her famous. One said 'East Angula', a reference to Goody's belief that such a place existed and constituted a foreign country. She left school with no qualifications after a tough childhood on a council estate, with drug addicts for parents. The Channel Four show Big Brother transformed her life and made her a multi-millionaire.
John Finagin, Goody's former teacher, spoke at her funeral and denied that her lack of education equated with ignorance. "Never make the mistake of thinking that Jade was not intelligent. Anyone who can run a media career and a business has to be really, really, smart."

Tesla Battery Systems Already Power 11 Walmart Stores
The worst kept secret in the world is that Tesla storage battery will be revealed officially on April 30. What isn't widely known is that the company has been quietly testing its batteries in more than 300 homes and many business for several years, according to Fortune.
In fact, Tesla storage batteries already power eleven Walmart stores around the country, reports Bloomberg. Food processing company Cargill is also reportedly testing the Tesla storage battery. Schools and wineries are on Elon Musk's list of places to use the new technology as well. The knowledge gained from all that testing will go into making production versions of the Tesla storage battery as efficient and trouble free as possible.
Storage batteries can be used anywhere electric power is needed. They can take over in the event of a power outage to keep homes and business running as usual. They can be recharged at night when electric rates are lowest and used to provide power during the day when rates are at their peak. They can be recharged from the electric grid, from onsite generators, from solar panels or wind turbines.
The secret to any battery storage system is the inverter. Electricity coming in from the pole is in the form of alternating current. But batteries, solar panels and wind turbines operate on direct current. An inverter converts AC to DC and vice versa so everything in the system works seamlessly together.
Jeffery Evanson, Tesla's head of investor relations head told Business Insider recently that the announcement expected on Thursday would be about a "Tesla home battery and a very large utility scale battery." Utility scale batteries allow electric companies to even out the demand curve for power, which will save them money.
It costs electric companies a lot of money to ramp up their electricity output to meet the surge in demand that occurs every day when people get home from work, crank up the AC, turn on the computer and fire up the stove. Using batteries will allow utilities to meet that demand in a more cost effective way, saving them money and allowing them to avoid raising the rates they charge for electricity.
Just whispering the word "Tesla" can make a stock analyst swoon. Andrea James, an analyst with Dougherty & Co, told Bloomberg, "Tesla's energy storage business could be worth as much as $70 to Tesla's stock." If you believe that, you should be on the phone to your broker as soon as you finish this story.

The middle period of the coal industry's own newsreel
The 1960s were, for Mining Review, a particularly lively decade. The impressive but sometimes formulaic craftsmanship of the 1940s and '50s output was married to a more varied, adventurous range of styles and subjects. And the massive changes that the decade wrought upon mining imprinted themselves upon many of the films: the traumatic contraction of the industry; the previous decade's technological investment reaching fruition and being taken yet further; the coming of 1960s social and cultural change to mining communities as to communities everywhere.
At the end of 1962, the DATA cooperative, which had made every issue since 1st Year No. 6 (1948), finally folded, and thereafter Mining Review was produced by the NCB Film Unit, in tandem with its many technical, safety and documentary projects. From this point until the end of the series, former Mining Review editor Robert Kruger was the producer.
Much of the template remained in place: the mix of technical, cultural and social subjects, the alternation of stories based around events with others focusing on people, and the policy of covering all the major coalfields regularly. However, the style of the series now allowed for a greater diversity within and between issues, often making it more obvious than before that different directors and units had filmed different items. There was greater room for lyricism, as for instance in 17th Year No 7's lovely 'End of the Road' story. On the other hand, some stories indulged in a mildly experimental, even funky ambience: dig 'Marilyn', from 20th Year No. 9.
This diversity was the more noticeable for the subtler use of music. For the first time, music was occasionally avoided altogether, giving some items a new sobriety. In contrast (building on earlier collaborations like the 1957 Songs of the Coalfields), balladry by Ewan MacColl and other folk musicians was sometimes used to make gorgeous musical-documentaries. This approach was especially applied - as in 16th Year No. 3 and No. 6, to bring out the pathos in issues dealing with migration between collieries, a strong feature of a period that saw the number of operating collieries nearly halved.
Boosting the industry's profile as well as his own, Lord Robens, the dynamic chairman in post between 1961 and 1971, made far more appearances onscreen than any of his predecessors had. Technological innovations new to the 1960s were often featured, as when 16th Year No. 12 was given over to the premature experiment in Remotely Operated Longwall Faces. Industrial relations, usually confined to internal films, were sometimes alluded to as well. An issue (25th Year No. 8) released following the miners' victory over the NCB and the government in the 1972 strike makes remarkable viewing in a post-Thatcherite era.
A number of regular story strands recurred every few issues. The 'Mining Portraits' and 'People Who Matter' sequences profiled individuals representing important job roles in the collieries. There were profiles, too, of each of the coalfields: ranging from Yorkshire ('North Star' in 20th Year No. 9) to Scotland ('Novia Scotia', 20th Year No. 10), even to the small Bristol and Somerset division ('The Somerset Coalfield', 17th Year No. 12). Many of these impersonal and yet somehow deeply felt geographical films were made by the married team of Budge Cooper and Donald Alexander, continuing to freelance as a Mining Review director after his 1963 retirement as head of the NCB Film Unit.
The first colour Mining Review was 21st Year No. 1 but for a few years black-and-white and colour continued to be used for different issues, before monochrome was effectively phased out just in time for the series being overhauled and renamed as Review in 1972.
No fewer than 34 issues in this 1960-72 period were single-story editions, far more than in the preceding period. This set the pattern for Review, whence multi-item issues stopped being produced altogether. The last Mining Review as such was 25th Year No. 12, the 300th of the series.

PATRICIA WOOD, RESPONDENT,v.SCHENECTADY MUNICIPAL HOUSING AUTHORITY, APPELLANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Malone Jr., J.
Calendar Date: September 10, 2010
Before: Peters, J.P., Spain, Malone Jr., Stein and Egan Jr., JJ.
Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court (Kramer, J.), entered March 15, 2010 in Schenectady County, which denied defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
Plaintiff commenced this action to recover for injuries that she sustained when she slipped and fell on ice on a sidewalk in an apartment complex that was owned and maintained by defendant. Following joinder of issue, defendant moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint on the grounds that there was a storm in progress at the time of the accident and that it had no notice of any icy condition. Supreme Court denied the motion and defendant appeals. We affirm.
The parties' conflicting testimony and meteorological evidence demonstrate that questions of fact exist as to whether a storm was in progress at the time of plaintiff's accident, which, if there was, would have suspended defendant's duty to remedy any alleged dangerous conditions for a reasonable period of time after the storm had ceased (see Boynton v Eaves, 66 AD3d 1281, 1282 [2009]; Martin v Wagner, 30 AD3d 733, 734 [2006]). The conflicting evidence also demonstrates that a question of fact exists as to how long the ice upon which plaintiff slipped was in existence prior to the accident, whether defendant had actual or constructive notice of any alleged dangerous condition, and whether defendant had sufficient time to remedy any such condition. Finally, plaintiff testified that she slipped after she stepped from the parking lot onto a snowbank located along the curb of the sidewalk, and one of defendant's employees testified that the snowbank was the result of defendant's prior snow removal efforts. This evidence raised a question of fact as to whether defendant created a dangerous condition (see Torosian v Bigsbee Vil. Homeowners Assn., 46 AD3d 1314, 1316 [2007]; see also Figueroa v West 170th Realty, Inc., 56 AD3d 299, 299 [2008]) or "exacerbated the natural hazards created by [a] storm" (Wheeler v Grande'Vie Senior Living Community, 31 AD3d 992, 992 [2006]; see Micheler v Gush, 256 AD2d 1051, 1052 [1998]). Accordingly, Supreme Court properly denied defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
Peters, J.P., Spain, Stein and Egan Jr., JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Argentina adidas 2010 World Cup Federation PackPosted: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 by Shaun in Labels: adidas, adidas Originals, sports jersey, sportswear, world cup 2010
Earlier mentioned in this post, here's a quick look at Argentina's pack.
adidas' official marketing spiel goes like this:
With a history dating back to 1930, the FIFA World Cup has become a shining example of how a sporting event can become an inspiration for millions of people globally. Celebrating the heritage of this year's South African event, the first ever on African soil, adidas presents a truly unique series of packs that will appeal to football fans, adidas enthusiasts, collectors and memorabilia fiends alike. There are 5 country packs in total, namely, Argentina, France, Germany, Mexico and Spain, while for the first time ever a jointly packaged project featuring offerings from both the Performance and Originals departments at adidas is made publicly available. Beautifully packaged, each box set contains two jerseys containing the team jersey that will be worn at this year's tournament and a historical version from great moments in the competitions past. The boxes themselves feature incredible attention to detail with hidden magnets to secure them together and built in display cases.
The current team jersey is presented by adidas Football and features the unique adidas TECHFIT™ technology, available to the public for the first time ever and providing proven benefits in control, power, and endurance. The historical jersey, presented by adidas Originals, is a replica from a great FIFA World Cup tournament that has featured in the country's past and is guaranteed to induce enduring football memories for fans of the beautiful game everywhere. Look for these later this month, available in strictly limited numbers through select adidas retailers worldwide.
I was immediately enticed by the look of the package when I first saw the online pix, and even more so when I saw the actual product. Work of art, this.
Based on the preview pix, I initially thought that the whole package was one individual piece, like this.
But fiddling with it revealed that the Performance and Originals sections of the package are attached by magnets and can be separated.
Here's the contents of the Performance section which includes a player issue shirt and a write up.
The player issue shirt is the one that comes in the Argentina adidas 10/12 Home Kit Limited Edition Box Set. The shirt is accessed by removing the clear plastic panel from the package. adidas made it clear that this shirt was influenced by the '86 World Cup winning shirt by Le Coq Sportif. Incidentally, Le Coq Sportif has released a decently priced reissue of the Argentina 1986 shirt bearing Maradona's 10.
The adidas Originals section contains a card summarising Argentina's footballing achievements and a small card mentioning adidas' affiliation with Argentina.
Similarly accessed by removing the plastic panel from the package, this shirt is a reissue of the 1978 adidas shirt.
Spurs fans may have great affinity for this shirt, as their 2008 hall of fame inductees, Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa wore this shirt.
Here's more pix of the contents of the card.
The main attraction of this pack for me is that it contains a reissue of Argentina's first World Cup winning shirt, as well as the 2010 World Cup shirt that is heavily influenced by their second World Cup win.

Stand Tall, Stand Proud
More sad news... after losing in the first round of the U.S. Open last night, Todd Martin announced his retirement. I was always a huge fan of Old Man Martin... he never won a Grand Slam, was never #1, but he always made it fairly deep into tournaments, and even if he more often than not lost to higher-ranked players, he always held his own. I was crushed when he blew the 2-sets-to-1 lead over Agassi in the '99 U.S. Open final... after that match, I knew he'd never have another chance to win an Open. But I never thought he'd still be playing competively 5 years later. He was a hard worker, a good player, and a respected, well-liked guy. Enjoy your retirement!

All non-essential freelancers in my building are not to come to work today or tomorrow due to the RNC (finally, the Republicans do something good for me), and I'm about as non-essential as they come, so since I'm out of the office, posts may be few and far between. However, I just had to note the passing of Laura Branigan over the weekend (I guess God really did have her number). It's mind-boggling to know that "Gloria" was the #1 pop single for 36 weeks! She was only 47, and she will be missed... and let this be a lesson to all of you: if you have a headache for 2 weeks straight, please seek medical attention.

Seeing as how I work for MTV, I may as well make a few comments (er, questions) about last night's boring VMA's:
- Why did Beyonce look like the Cowardly Lion?
- Is Hooba-stunk too obvious a joke to describe their horrifically off-key performance?
- Where can I get one of LL Cool J's t-shirts with the TV in it?
- When did the members of Linkin Park get so fat?
- When will people realize that Ashlee Simpson shouldn't be allowed to sing in public?
- Why did The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne stoop so low to participate in the terrible show?
- What was Bruce Willis doing hanging around with P. Diddy? Is it now a law that if you were romantically involved with Demi, you have to be friends with Diddy?
- Why is Velvet Revolver good enough to be used in the music bed going to commercial (at 8:52pm) but not good enough to ever have their video played?
- When will the rest of the world realize that Polyphonic Spree sounds no better or worse than the music in Waiting for Guffman?
All in all, a very disappointing waste of 3 1/2 hours (luckily I didn't see the pre-show).

So first, Road Rules embarrasses me by having the annoying beefcake Patrick hail from my college (UPenn) and the new slut girl Jillian hail from my hometown (Coral Springs, FL). Then the VMA's, held in Florida for the first time, sucked. Now comes this story about a Florida company's toys depicting 9/11 events. I'm so proud.

VH1 Classic just played four consecutive videos that feature lame dialogue-based preambles to the songs: Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher," Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock," Poison's "Fallen Angel," and Huey Lewis & the News' "Power of Love." "Fallen Angel" is by far the worst offender:
(Family sits at a dinner table, eating)
Son: Great meal, mom!
(Mom nods)
Daughter: (poking at her food) Dad, I need to talk to you.
Dad: Sure, honey.
Daughter: I've decided to move.
Dad: (takes another bite of food) Move? Where?
Daughter: California
(Dad looks like he's about to have a heart attack)
I miss the 80s so much!

I finally have phone service in my apartment. The phone guy unexpectedly came at 9:30 this morning (as I was in the shower), acted as if he didn't know this was the 5th day of my phone saga, and activated service in less than 10 minutes. I now look forward to arguing with AT&T's billing department over the 4 days of service I should not be charged for and the potential for them to pay my cell phone bill, as I've burned 147 peak minutes on the phone with their customer service since Monday.

There's a horrible article on Page 2 of ESPN.com, claiming that racism is "the only explanation for the near-universal hatred of our Olympic basketball team." Nice generalization. As long as we're writing gross exaggerations, how about this one: Jason Whitlock has written the worst article I have ever read. And at least mystatement has some semblance of truth.

The upcoming movie Team America has been getting a ton of press lately, including a cover story in Sunday's New York Times Arts & Leisure section. I just watched the trailer, and even though there's only 1 line of dialogue, it looks incredible. If it's at least as funny as a typical episode of South Park, it could be phenomenal.

Larry King's interview with Brian Wilson was an embarrassing display of poor research, a lack of listening, and general stupidity on Larry's part. Some of the lowlights:
- "You harmonized well?" (re: the Beach Boys)
- "And how about Mike Love. He was a friend?" (this was asked several minutes after Larry read off a card that Mike is Brian's cousin)
And, the worst offense...
- "Do you write your own songs?"

Could Be Worse
I would complain about what a pain-in-the-ass moving was this weekend (the whole 20 yards down the street), but at least I'm not my sister, who got her toe caught in the escalator at the new SoHo Bloomingdales and had her toenail ripped off, or my roommate, who got hit by a cab walking to the subway this morning, flew through the air, and landed on his back, needing stitches on the back of his head. I hope they both have swift recoveries.
And apparently my roommate's shoe flew off from the impact, and nobody was able to find it... so if anyone discovers a random shoe on the corner of 75th and Amsterdam, please let me know.

I'm Definitely SMILEing... At Least for Now
Tickets for Brian Wilson performing Smile in its entirety at Carnegie Hall went on sale this morning, and as expected, the traffic was too much for their website to handle. So after finally ordering 2 tickets in the first tier (for myself and Sticking Point Tommy), I managed to get through on the phone and land 2 tickets on the floor in the 5th row! I clicked a button on the website that claims it can cancel the online order, but got no confirmation, and since the order number is the same for both, I'll either a) end up with both pairs and sell the worse ones, b) end up with just the 5th row seats, or c) get neither and kill myself. Go b!

Something Good Actually Came Out of Alien vs. Predator
I'd heard about this years ago and didn't think it would ever actually get made. Dunno if it'd be any good, but anything to give Bruce Campbell more work is fine with me... and maybe if it's a success, it'll pave the way for Chucky vs. Leprechaun... or Pinhead vs. Leatherface. So many possibilities...

Reason #49 Not To Get a Tattoo While Drunk
I met a guy at a party over the weekend who got the state of Florida (in what looks like green Sharpie) on the top of his left foot. He also has "SOUTH" spelled out across his toes, which I thought was meant to be the key for the map, but I later found out that he has "DIRTY" spelled across the toes on his other foot (the fact that Florida does not qualify as part of the Dirty South is another issue entirely).

Things I've Learned the Past Few Weeks at Work
- Anne Hathaway has a major problem with sweaty pits. Her nipples are also overly-sensitive to the cold. And she's almost certainly a lesbian.
- When Quddus reads the word "adjective" off of a cue card, he makes it rhyme with "objective."
- Tom Cruise is either the nicest celebrity on the face of the earth, or he acts like he is (although my money is that he's genuine).
- Vanessa Carlton's socks are sweatier after 10 seconds of moonwalking than mine are after an hour-long workout.
- More TRL viewers tune in to see New Found Glory than to see the cast of Collateral.
- If you ever find yourself in a room with Jet Li and want to laugh, ask him to say the word "happy." He pronounces it "High-pee." If discussing the movie Hero, however, do not ask him who his hero is ("No hero! Just me!").

Cheers and Jeers from Last Night's CSN Concert
Jeers to LI public transportation. The train from Penn Station arrives into Freeport Station at 7:19, just as the 7:20 bus to Jones Beach Theater leaves. Not another train until 8:10... concert starts at 8. With 20,000 people coming to the theater, shouldn't there be buses running nonstop instead of every 50 minutes? We had to share an insanely overpriced taxi with 3 other strangers to get to the venue on-time.
Cheers to my friend Amy. She got free tickets 6 rows from the stage and backstage passes.
Cheers to the band. They sounded great.
Jeers to Stephen Stills. When he sings, he sounds like he has no tongue.
Jeers to man breasts. Nash has them. Crosby's are even bigger. Not a good look.
Cheers to Graham Nash. He was very friendly and appreciative when I talked to him backstage. Although I think it's just because he's interested in Amy. Nevertheless...
Cheers to the kindness of strangers. After we left the backstage party, we realized the buses back to the train station had stopped running. As we were about to hop into another overpriced cab, a couple we had talked to backstage offered us a ride to the station, then ended up taking us all the way back to Penn Station. Very cool.
Jeers to strangers who turn out to be creepy. The ride and conversation were perfectly pleasant until I brought up Governor McGreevey (the couple was from Jersey) and the driver goes off on a rant about how everyone in the world who is angry is simply a "repressed faggot" (much to the chagrin of his embarrassed wife). Luckily we had just gotten through the Midtown Tunnel, so we only had to endure about 5 minutes of this.

I'm the reigning office champion of Lightning Reaction... after about a dozen rounds, I was the only person who hadn't been shocked (this is roughly the equivalent of being King of the Idiots). Although once everyone stopped playing and VJ Vanessa convinced me to shock myself just to be part of the team, I was the only one stupid enough to pass the controller from one hand to the other to get a double-shock instead of simply dropping it or holding onto it...

I Missed the (Party) Bus
Friday, just after 7pm, I'm walking east on 75th St. between B'way and Amsterdam with two co-workers. Immersed in conversation, we don't notice the giant, decked out bus driving past us, heading west... that is, until I hear someone banging on the bus window. I look up just in time to see a very hot, very topless girl waving at us (er, at me, since my friends didn't look up in time). My reflexes too slow, I simply stared as the bus drove past.
"Did you see that? There was a naked girl in there!" I said to my companions.
"What?" they both replied at the same time.
We turned around just in time to see the bus (which had Party Bus written in big black letters on the back) turn north on Broadway and leave our lives forever. So if anyone knows the location of Party Bus (or simply of the hot naked chick), let me know.

Although a very simple concept, this is actually a great few minutes of animation (with a good soundtrack, too).

It's On Like Donkey Kong!
VH1's Inside(Out) - Hulk Hogan, Stage Dad is incredible! An hour of watching the Hulkster alternate between his aggressive, catchphrase-a-second persona and his doting-father persona. The man's a living Jeckyl & Hyde. There's no chance his daughter Brooke will ever be successful, but at least she's giving it a try, which resulted in this program.
P.S. Aaron Carter makes an appearance for no reason whatsoever, and wow, puberty has not been kind to him... pockmarks galore. How he managed to snag both Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan is beyond comprehension.

Pamela Anderson was on the show yesterday to promote her new book, Star. We did a Madlibs-style stunt with her, and when asked for a noun, she said "penis." Afterwards, Vanessa was talking to Kelly Clarkson backstage, complaining that we're not allowed to talk about the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident but Pam Anderson is allowed to say "penis" when she comes on the show (in fact she is not... but that's another issue). At which point I had the following exchange with Kelly Clarkson:
Me: We've reached our "penis" quota for the day... so if you wouldn't mind toning it down a bit, just make sure not to say "penis" too many times when you're out there, that would be great."
Kelly: Oh yeah, like I'm gonna go out there and be like, "I love American Idol! And I love ass!"

At least until South Park and Arrested Development return with new episodes, the funniest show on television is Da Ali G. Show. Sunday's show featured Borat singing a song "Throw the Jews Down the Well," and I can't remember laughing that hard in a long time (my rooommate actually laughed so hard he was rolling around on the floor). Unfortunately HBO didn't post that clip on their site, but there are some great clips up.
P.S. Speaking of Arrested Development, the New York Times had a great profile of the show's creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, in the Arts & Leisure section over the weekend. The previews they gave for next season sound hilarious, especially the idea of having David Cross' character cast as an understudy in Blue Man Group, forcing him to sit by the phone every afternoon in blue make-up in case he's called in. Genius!

I typically don't like Will Ferrell or think his Bush impression is anything noteworthy, but this is pretty good.

While spread betting can be an exciting way to trade on the markets it is risky, and the extreme highs, lows and unpredictability have the potential to lead to addiction. We want our visitors to enjoy trading on the markets as much as we do, with minimal losses and maximum gains! For this reason, we've put together a guide for responsible gambling with tips on how to manage your account.
Self Exclusion
Almost every platform will offer a self-exclusion feature. If you feel that your relationship with spread betting is an unhealthy one, then consider setting a self exclusion period anywhere from 6 months to 5 years.
There are also other ways of excluding yourself from spread betting using third party systems offered by Net Nanny and GamBlock.
Controlling your Spend
For many, gambling is a harmless and very entertaining hobby. Spread betting is a form of a gambling and should be treated with the same caution:
- Gamble within your means, set limits and stick to them.
- Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, not a money making exercise.
- Spread betting is notorious for chasing losses; avoid doing this.
- Take note of how much time you spend gambling and be honest with yourself if it is negatively impacting your work or social life.
Problem Gambling
Sometimes it is difficult to accept problems that arise from gambling. Answer the following questions honestly:
- Have you avoided work, college or school to gamble?
- Do you turn to gambling as a break from a boring or unhappy life?
- If you lose money when gambling, do you feel in despair and gamble more?
- Have you ever stopped gambling before losing your entire balance?
- Have you ever lied to hide gambling losses?
- Do others comment on your gambling habits?
- Have you funded a gambling balance through theft, borrowing or lying?
- Has gambling caused you to lose touch with friends or family?
- Do negative emotions increase your likelihood of gambling?
- Has gambling ever caused you to feel depressed or even suicidal?
Daily Deposit Limit
Setting a deposit limit with a clear head is always a sensible option. Often gambling can be exacerbated by alcohol or your emotional situation; consider setting a deposit limit before anything can cloud your judgment. If you're not sure how, contact customer services of the platform that you're using. Alternatively, use any of the other options to limit your spend.
Underage Gambling
In the UK, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to gamble, and this applies to spread betting. Most spread betting companies carry out strict verification methods to prove a client's age, however if anyone underage might have access to your account then it is important that you use the filtering systems below to prevent access.
Filtering Systems
If anyone in your family is underage, or if you're concerned that anyone with access to your computer might have a gambling problem, then using 3rd party filtering systems is a secure option. The following systems can block or monitor the use of your internet connection:
- Net Nanny can be used to filter inappropriate content from kids: www.netnanny.com
- Cyberpatrol will allow you to control internet access: www.cyberpatrol.com
- ICRA enables you to block inappropriate content: www.icra.org
- CYBERsitter is another program to help block inappropriate content: www.cybersitter.com
- Gamblock simply blocks all access to gambling websites with minimal effort: www.gamblock.com
Spread betting does not have to be a pure gamble, educated and well researched analysis can make the odds tip in your favour. Don't jump into this market without understanding the risks and make sure you follow our guide above.

The car scrappage scheme
The car scrappage scheme at first may seem like a great idea. However, you will be limited as to what you can get. You can't buy any car, you have to be told a list of possible cars (this changes with each manufacturer). This can prove to be very frustrating as you have to choose a car that is currently in the scrappage scheme.

Tarpins in the mounting yard
Tarpins started off a fresh campaign with a run over 1400 metres at Bendigo yesterday.
Hopes weren't too high – he's being trained for 2000+ metres later in the spring, and it was a pretty strong Class 2 field.
He came in second last (10th of 11) but was only around 6 lengths from the winner and hit the line fairly strongly, which was what we had hoped.
We were fortunate enough to have gun jockey Brad Rawiller on board, fresh from his big win on Weekend Hussler on Saturday. I was very impressed with Brad – he conducted himself with the uiltimate professionalism, doing the meet and greet before the race then providing a detailed debrief after the race.
Next stop for Tarpins will probably be a 1700 metre race at Warrnambool on 23 September. Stay tuned.

Fifteen lakh consumers of the 1.59 crore electricity consumers in Andhra Pradesh, including high tension industries and some other categories, will have to face a power tariff hike of about 3-4 per cent for the financial year 2017-2018.
While for high tension industrial consumers, the tariff has been hiked by 3.6 per cent, to some other industries to 3 per cent and it has been hiked by 4 per cent for a section of residuary category users by 4 per cent.
While domestic consumers consuming more than 2700 units per annum will face a 4 per cent tariff hike, rest of the domestic categories will have no tariff hike.
The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission in its order said the marginal increase has been effected which is less than the inflation for the financial year 2016-17. It stated that the real value of charges being collected is slightly lesser than the actual value of charges at 2016-17 levels.
The State Government had agreed to pay a subsidy of Rs. 3700 crore towards eligible categories in the agriculture, those entitled to free or concessional supply of power as against Rs. 3,300 crore granted towards last year's subsidy.
As per the agreement with the Union Power Ministry following AP joining the Ujjwal Discom Assurance Yojana (UDAY) scheme in June 2016, the State had agreed for a tariff hike of 5 per cent last year and 3.6 per cent in 2017-18.
Of the 1.59 crore consumers, 1.44 crore consumers (90.5 per cent) of total consumers are unaffected and their energy charges unchanged.
And 15.47 lakh consumers who come under seven hours of free power supply in the agriculture have also been left untouched.
While the licensees showed an overall deficit of Rs. 8,065 crore which they tried to cover with a tariff hike of Rs. 1,111 crore and subsidy component of Rs. 6,937 crore, the State Budget allotted Rs. 3,300 crore for subsidy. The Commission's request to provide a subsidy of Rs. 3,700 crore was accepted by the State Government.

How do you make a complaint to your employer about discrimination?.
There are many different types of discrimination. The most common and recognised forms of discrimination include:-
- Sexual discrimination
- Racial discrimination
- Disability discrimination
- Age discrimination
- Religion or belief discrimination
If you feel that you are a victim of any of these types of discrimination, you should raise the matter with your employer.
Sending a letter to your employer
Your letter should set out the circumstances under which you believe you have been discriminated against.
The letter should set out the basis that you feel you have been discriminated against. The letter should refer to any statute that is relevant to the discrimination. Your letter should start by referring to the relevant act, i.e. sexual discrimination or equal pay etc and should state the grounds for your belief that you have been discriminated against.
This should explain exact date and times of the discrimination, the full names of parties involved, the words used or actions against you that you believe amounted to the discrimination and any other relevant information.
Once you have outlined the details you should include the paragraph "I consider this treatment may have been unlawful".
You may then add reasons why you believe the treatment has been unlawful.
You should in addition consider whether you state the discrimination to have been direct, indirect, harassment or victimisation.
Direct discrimination
Direct discrimination occurs when you are simply treated less favourably than a colleague.
Indirect discrimination
Indirect discrimination occurs when a condition or rule of your employment favours one group of employees over and above you. This could relate to your age or physical ability.
This could be offensive of intimidating behaviour (sexist or racist language).
This can occur if you are treated unfavourably because you have previously made a complaint for discrimination.
You should conclude your letter by asking your employer to answer the following:
- Whether they agree with the version of events you have outlined; and
- Whether they agree that that treatment was unlawful discrimination
You should send the letter to your employer and request a response from them within a reasonable period of time. You should ensure that you retain a copy of the letter for your own records and that it is dated.
How long before you receive a reply?
You should receive a reply from your employer within a reasonable period of time. However, if you have still not received a reply within eight weeks you are entitled to take the matter further by seeking legal advice or taking the matter to an Employment Tribunal.

Great Santa
Santa is not sleeping with his wife these days because somebody had told him that it is wrong to sleep with married women..
More Sardar Jokes
Once Santa and Banta reach US they decide to part ways and meet after a year.
After the decided time they meet and Santa comes on a bike but Banta comes in a limousine. On inquiring Banta tells Santa that he has installed a machine which gives a very good blow job for one dollar and thus have minted money.
Impressed they again part ways with an agreement that they will meet again next year. After a year Santa comes in a private jet while Banta comes in another limousine.
Banta inquired on the sudden prosperity and was told that He (Santa) has also installed a similar machine but have modified it to take two dollars only after which it allows you to withdraw.

Today I would like to introduce Rachel from the Netherlands, her work and her blog
Rachel is doing tremendously beautiful stitching on a very fine count silk gauze. For example this design of Geisha has been adopted from a real size cross stitch kit and stitched on 90 count silk gauze. Isn't it amazingly detailed work?
This Tabris has been stitched on 72 count silk gauze and currently is located at the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center.
Rachel will be attending the Chicago International show in 2012 under the name "Hannnah Roet". Don't forget to stop by her table. She offers very nice work.
Have a great weekend!

Lagos 'Cleans Up' Its Waterfront, Leaving Thousands Homeless
It sounds as if authorities in what recently became the largest city in Africa won't let the city's slum dwellers stand in the way of progress. In what Dixon calls, "just the latest of many evictions of poor and marginalized communities in shantytowns as slum dwellers come under increasing pressure from property developers," authorities in Lagos began demolishing the Makoko shantytown a week ago.
According to Dixon, "This is not the first attempt to wipe out Makoko. Similar demolitions and evictions took place in 2005. In a notice of eviction earlier this month, Lagos authorities called the shantytown 'unwholesome' and out of keeping with Lagos' 'megacity status.' Lagos Gov. Babatunde Fashola said there were plans to build something much grander."
"'We have a plan to turn that place into the Venice of Africa. I am committed to the idea,' he told protesters from Makoko on Monday, ruling out any reversal of the demolition order, Nigeria's Daily Trust newspaper reported."
"The latest demolitions have left thousands homeless, many with nowhere to sleep but in their canoes, resident Peter Hunsa told the Nation newspaper."
