Shawn Joseph Jetmore Stoddard-Nunez
Reported by SFGATE
(03-06) 20:28 PST HAYWARD — A man shot dead by Hayward police was identified Wednesday as 19-year-old Shawn Joseph Jetmore Stoddard-Nunez.
Stoddard-Nunez, who lived in Hayward, was in a passenger in a Honda Civic who died when he was shot by police over the weekend.
An officer had been trying to shoot the driver, Arthur Pakman, 23, of Oakley for aiming his car at a patrol cruiser near Fletcher Lane and Watkins Street about 3:20 a.m. Sunday.
The officer, who was accompanied by a civilian riding along in the patrol car, fired to prevent Pakman from hitting them, said Hayward police Sgt. Eric Krimm.
But a bullet ended up hitting Stoddard-Nunez instead, Krimm said. The Honda hit the passenger door of the police car, knocking the door into the civilian, who suffered a minor injury.
The Honda sped off but crashed a half-mile away at D Street and Foothill Boulevard. Officers found Stoddard-Nunez dead. An Alameda Country coroner's autopsy confirmed that he died of a gunshot wound and not injuries from the crash, Krimm said.
Pakman fled on foot but was soon arrested. He is being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on a probation violation pending a review of the case by Alameda County prosecutors.
Stoddard-Nunez as one of five men killed since Thursday in confrontations with Bay Area law-enforcement officers. The other incidents involved a Sonoma County sheriff's deputy and Daly City, San Jose and Union City police.
I knew Shawn as a baby and his brother Jesse…. Both beautiful and full of love…. this officer should be held accountable for his actions… Shawn was loved by many. He desearved to live for he still had not been reunited with The people who loved him when his mother did not!!! I pray that in his death his soul was able to see all of the people that loved him in between his mother's loss of custody and his adoption…. we love you and mamaw and bampa loved you the most!!! For they saved him from his mother's neglect and abuse… and were devistated when they lost contact after his adoption…. If i can help in anyway to hold this officer accountable for his neglegent decision that day!!! SWHAWN WAS INNOCENT!!! I will remember you always…

Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive have recently released their new song "Old Ghosts / New Regrets." The song is streaming in video form and you can check it out right here.
The new track is off the band's upcoming album Atlas which is set to be released on October 30th via Epitaph Records. "The album was written at a time the band was travelling very extensively which had a major effect on the lyrics," says McCall. "While there is no overarching theme, the songs resonate with the travels we as a band have made, and the effects they have had. This has lead to some of the harshest, and also some of the most personal lyrical content that we've ever put to music. In every way, this record has been shaped by the experiences that shaped us a people."
McCall continues, "This record means the world to us. Never as a band, and as people, have we put more effort and thought into creating music. There is more of us in this record than anything before. The experiences that it took to create over the years were once in a lifetime. Ten years down the track, this is the Parkway you know, but we've decided to step it up."

Found these 'beads' at the thriftstore and found the color very stimulating. The color inspired a bunch of ideas for art pieces. After I got home and opened the package, I realized that these were not beads at all but a kind of gravel for an aquarium. So now I will have to think of some creative way to use them because I love the color.
We've been having an interesting discussion on one of my yahoo groups about the meaning of inspiration. To me, inspiration is a very positive force. It is like 'a fire in the belly' or a 'lightbulb moment'. It's what makes me live life to the fullest and not just drag on day by day. It is SEEING something and not just LOOKING at it. It is what makes me get up in the morning with the drive to get on with the day. Even though we are all inspired by different things, I think inspiration is what makes us love life.
I'd love to hear what inspiration means to you and maybe we can inspire each other to see things from a new perspective.

As thousands of servicemen are made redundant, how many will be turned away from homeless shelters that are packed full of immigrants?
A friend rang me the other day and followed up with an email about care of (or rather, lack of care of) homeless ex-servicemen
This is not a new story, regrettably. I had known that perhaps up to 25 per cent of the homeless were veterans, a disturbing enough statistic. But I had not heard what what my friend went on to tell me.
And I should say that she is a former senior diplomat, who has since worked unpaid for a charity, and no 'pushover' when it comes to hard-luck stories or urban myths.
Disgraceful: It is estimated that around a quarter of those currently homeless are ex- servicemen
She had come out of Sloane Square tube station to find a man with a placard declaring he was ex-services and homeless. She interrogated him. He had been with the Royal Artillery for seventeen years, serving with 29 Commando Regiment, he said. His name was Stephen.
He gave her his army number, which she subsequently checked with contacts, and the facts tallied.
He was now homeless and had no source of income, he said. The splendid charity 'Veterans Aid', which for years has been struggling to cope as a primary point of help to men like Stephen, could only offer him a bed in ten days' time, he told her.
More from Allan Mallinson for the Daily Mail...

He had been to SSAFA, to Citizens Advice etc, who signposted him on, and then to 'Shelter'. And here's where the story really begins to disgust – to say the least.
He said that in all the civilian shelters there were Somalis and Poles – which my friend tells me, according to her colleagues in the charity sector, is true.
Now, I cannot begin to think how a former soldier who was good enough to serve in the Commando Gunners for seventeen years ends up on the streets, but that's another issue.
I can understand how the purblind immigration and profligate welfare policies of successive governments have made jobs and housing harder to get for British people (and abhor those policies).
What I simply cannot understand – if it is true – is how we have arrived at a situation where our charities may be being overwhelmed by immigrant need to the exclusion of our own, as in the case of Stephen.
Is there really an absolute legal right to come to this country to beg? If there is, has anyone calculated the potential cost? If there isn't, why are our charities having to work in this way?
The old saying that 'Charity begins at home' cannot be used to deny charity to those outside the home; – a destitute Pole or Somali deserves the Samaritan's charity.
A vicious circle: Without an address you can not apply for benefits, or in most cases, get a job
What the saying means, however, is that unless there is true charity within the family there can be none worthwhile beyond it.
And there is such a thing as a national family – of which ex-servicemen are particularly honoured members.
My friend got in touch with me because of my RightMinds blog, adding, however, that there might not be enough to write about without a lot of research; – 'But I fear there will be many more such cases.'
There is such a thing as a national family - of which ex-servicemen are particularly honoured members
Of course there will be many more such cases after the last decade of what servicemen have been through. And - exacerbating the consequences of combat stress - we are about to throw out a lot of soldiers under the recently announced redundancy schemes.
I say "redundancy schemes", but many soldiers will be leaving without a compensatory penny - and for the first time will be made to find somewhere for themselves to live.
Now, you may say that "so does everyone coming of age"; but in many cases we have "institutionalized" our servicemen to a great deal in order to get them to do what they do. In other words, we've made them stop thinking of themselves so that they'll keep going back and doing their duty on operations.
We should not underestimate this factor in the lives of men who have served, say, a dozen years or so.
Which is why it's worth raising the issue here now – at least to see what sort of perception of a problem there is.
As for the research, I suspect that Mail Online readers may have some facts and figures...
- An earlier version of this article stated that an address is required to claim benefits. We are happy to point out that this is, in fact, incorrect. Homeless people can claim benefits without having a formal residence.
- We are also happy to point out that a 2008 report by the Royal British Legion puts the estimate of homeless people with armed services' backgrounds at 6%.

P/T mode problems
User submitted ideas for how we can make the Palette and Light Palette Consoles better

P/T mode problems
Would it be possible to move the Polar/linear information out of the position group of attributes? The problem is this. If you do a show with a lot of moving lights, you want to set the way the lights are moving on a cue level. At the same moment you probably build your show from position palettes. Now everytime you apply a palette, your P/T mode will be the one that is stored in this palette. This gets in the way of this particular setting being a tracking setting. At the same time if you set it in a cue, you'd have to be careful not to update the palette too, because that will affect other cues based on this palette. Maybe it is possible to opt this one out while making position looks. Or put it somewhere else (Under controls maybe? Next to Movement timing, colour timing etc.). The same story is valid for Colourspace.

Re: P/T mode problems
Fully agree. Easier for P/T than for Colour Space because all three ColA, ColB and ColC need to be recorded as it makes no sense for the colour space to be HSL, but a value for Hue, Cyan and Red.

Re: P/T mode problems
Another P/T mode problem I have is that I would prefer the default to be linear movementt, and to only use polar when specifically needed. While this may not be to everyone's taste, the ability to set this as a default in software or hardware setup would be ideal.
...and for more entertainment industry trivia and useless facts, just ask:

John - already on the list to have a default movement mode (just like a default color space) in show options.

Justified Juror Comments: GE Garages
In 2013, for "Justified: AIGA Design Competition," a distinguished jury chaired by Clement Mok selected 14 case studies that each serve as an effective tool to explain the role of designers in conceiving and implementing solutions.
The following are individual jurors' comments on the selection "Case Study: GE Garages." To view all 14 selected works, visit: aiga.org/justified-2013-selections/
Valerie Casey, founder and chief executive officer, Necessary Projects, San Francisco, California
With Sub Rosa, GE has created a powerful platform for interaction. By engaging the curious minds of consumers with the craft of skilled people within the organization, GE Garages has humanized manufacturing, excited innovative thinking and shaped a conversation where before there was only passive consumerism. Watching the video interactions and listening to the participants gave me goose bumps.
Jessica Hische, letterer and procrastiworker, Title Case, San Francisco, California
I really love this idea. While I didn't get to experience the project in person, just reading about it and seeing the reactions that participants had to it made me wish I could time travel back to the original SXSW installation. SXSW was the perfect location to launch this, and I think GE did a brilliant job showcasing the "maker" side of the company, demonstrating that all GE products are a combination of tech and handwork.
Brad Johnson, VP, executive creative director, Second Story (now part of SapientNitro), Portland, Oregon
This is an inspiring example of design fueling design. The concept and execution delivered on inviting audiences into the world of possibility through immersive pop-up experiences that introduce the tactile tools of invention and making.
Clement Mok, design and business consultant, The Design Office of Clement Mok, San Francisco, California
Game changer. Moved the needle. Inspirational. This is a wonderful example of how design can facilitate brand stewardship without "graphic design" screaming in your face. The tactic of engaging the community with all aspects of the GE brand—communication, products and services—is commendable and should be encouraged.
Josh Rubin, founder and editor in chief, Cool Hunting, New York, New York
GE is a household name, but few consumers know much about the brand. By creating GE Garages, the company not only invites people in but also shows just how forward thinking their brand really is.
Christopher Simmons, principal and creative director, MINE™, San Francisco, California
Historically, AIGA has recognized excellence in graphic design. While many of the projects selected for this year's "Justified" competition were chosen for their graphic excellence, GE Garages stands out for its broad interpretation of what a design engagement can be. When one examines this project from start to finish—including the initial challenge, research and insight, execution and effectiveness—it represents an ideal case study for the role design can play in connecting people and ideas.
Alina Wheeler, author, Designing Brand Identity, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Humanizing a complex global technology and innovation behemoth is a daunting task. Many of the judges had actually experienced this entry and raved about it. I wish that more corporations would demonstrate rather than declare how they are making a difference. Our everyday lives have been inextricably linked to devices that arrive in sealed boxes but have invisible parts and functions, so re-engaging with "making" educates and inspires us all.

New Pinterest Recipe of the Week is back! Like I said earlier, we're still getting back into the swing of things here. Even though Niblet is a pretty good sleeper for a newborn, I'm still finding myself sleep deprived and I don't function as well when that happens. Hubs has also gone back to work, so now I'm learning how to juggle everything solo. Progress is being made, though certainly some days are more productive than others.
Anyway, when Hubs went back to work I knew I needed to make something for the crew. Not only do I enjoy making food for people who enjoy eating it, but the guys were kind enough to get us a little something for Niblet and what better way to say "Thank you," than with baked goods. I needed something relatively easy, and that at certain points I could pause to attend to a newborn and not have the dish suffer because of it. Also, I wanted something with a little more of a Fall feeling to it. Even though the days here still feel sort of summery, the mornings when I am getting Big Bit off to school are starting to get a nip to them and the nights are definitely cooler. Searching through my Pinterest boards, this Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler from Baked by Rachel seemed like perfect fit. It's not overly complicated, let me pause when I needed to, and, to me, cinnamon and apples are very much flavors of Fall.
For Your Snickerdoodles
- 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 2/3 cup flour (I used all-purpose)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar, plus another 1/2 cup sugar (The 1/2 cup is for rolling your snickerdoodles in)
- 1 egg
- 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
For the Apples
- 8 cups of sliced apples (About 6-8 depending on size. I used Granny Smiths and sliced up 7 apples to get my approximately 8 cups.)
- 1/4 brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Combine the dry ingredients for the snickerdoodles (cream of tartar, salt, baking powder, and flour) in a small bowl. In a separate (and slightly larger bowl) cream together the butter and sugar then adding the egg. Follow with the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. In a small bowl mix your 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Set everything aside. I would recommend putting your dough in the fridge to let it firm up at this point, otherwise you will probably have snickerdoodle covered hands when it comes time to roll the dough into balls. Also, putting the dough in the fridge while you deal with the apples technically means you're multitasking. Efficiency!
Prepare your apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them up, putting the slices in a large bowl. Add your 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon and toss the apples around until all the slices are coated. Place the coated apples in an 8×8 baking dish.
Go back to your snickerdoodle dough. Make approx. 1 inch balls of dough and roll them in your cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place over the apples in the baking dish and flatten them slightly with your hand.
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the apples appear tender and the snickerdoodle top has gotten lightly golden brown. Resist temptation, and let the cobbler cool a bit before serving.
Tweaks and Overall Review
The main thing I tweaked from the original recipe was I increased the amount of cinnamon used. I love cinnamon, so I tend to like a stronger cinnamon flavor in my foods. For the snickerdoodle cinnamon-sugar mix, I would say I used closer to a full teaspoon of cinnamon, if not a bit more than that. Also, I used no where near the full half cup of sugar for rolling the dough balls in. You could probably get away with using 1/3 cup, maybe even 1/4 cup of sugar, and still have enough to coat all your snickerdoodles. For the coating of my apples, I'd say I used another full teaspoon of cinnamon and maybe a smidge more brown sugar. My cobbler needed the whole 55 minutes to finish baking and the snickerdoodles spread quite bit. Next time I make this I will definitely spread them out over the apples a bit more.
First off this smelled amazing while baking. The entire house smelled of apple-cinnamony goodness. I think the whole thing turned out rather well. I'm glad I used Granny Smith apples since they seemed to have helped balance the flavors and held up to baking well. They were nice and tender, but still had a bit of chew to them. The dish I sent Hubs off to work with came back virtually licked clean, so I'd guess the guys agreed that this was a pretty good recipe. Overall, I was pretty pleased with this. It was easy, allowed for breaks in the process, and tasted good. I will probably pull this out again for occasions where I need an easy Fall dessert since even though total time is about 90 minutes, depending on how long it takes you to get the apples prepared, hands on time is only about 30 minutes.

Preparing for Frankenstorm with Solzhenitsyn
I don't know if what happen in New Jersey though I feel certain we will lose power for several hours, if not days. That happens a lot in our old town with its ancient trees that tend to fall right on power lines. Our power grid is pretty fragile. My next-door neighbor is putting gas in his generator.
We are so self-absorbed; deaths in Cuba and Haiti don't seem to matter much to us Americans. Our TV and radio are full of reports about how Americans are preparing by filling up our gas tanks and stocking up on milk and bread.
As part of my own preparation, yesterday after teaching I went into the book room and borrowed Alexander Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. I figure if we are going to be sitting around in candlelight, I might as well have something good to read.
I also figure this novel about Soviet gulags will give me some perspective on what will likely be temporary inconveniences for my middle-class family. I never have read Solzhenitsyn and keep meaning to. The book, first published in 1962, is set in the Soviet labor camps of the 1950s. It describes a solitary day in the life of an ordinary prisoner and was an unprecedented account of Stalinist repression.
Solzhenitsyn, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1970s, knew the gulag system first hand, having been imprisoned eight years for criticizing in letters to friends the brutal dictator Joseph Stalin. Imagine living in such a time and place. He became a Christian while imprisoned. He reflected that the first step toward the gulag was the loss in the understanding of the Divine.
Early this morning, before heading out to fill up our SUV's gas tank and make sure we have enough food on hand, I read the novel's first chapter. The writing is dark, and beautiful.
"It was freezing cold, with a fog that caught your breath. Two large searchlights were crisscrossing over the compound from the watchtowers at the far corners. The lights on the perimeter and the lights inside the camp were on full force. There were so many of them that they blotted out the stars."

This movie will make you rethink your priorities
Andrew Bauer | Durham, NC | 08/20/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I actually first caught this movie on the Lifetime Movie Network, and had never heard of it before that. However, I soon found myself engrossed in it. It's not your typical love story, but that's what is so good about it. Two people meet and slowly fall in love, but there's a big secret that each of them has that they're not sharing with the other that ends up making all the difference in how they relate to each other. By the time you finish watching this movie, you'll have rethought everything about your life and how you're living it, and if you have a significant other, you'll both be brought closer by this story. It's a very powerful love that these two people share, made all the more intense by their situation. This may not be a blockbuster, but I highly recommend that anyone who has ever spent their time whining about how hard they have it pick this up and watch it."
A Different Kind of Love Story: Balance in Life
Grady Harp | Los Angeles, CA United States | 09/18/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"GRIFFIN & PHOENIX is a quiet little made for television film that touches the vulnerable heart. Originally written in 1976 as a television film by John Hill, this thirty-years-later version holds up well, and the fact that audiences will still opt for sensitive stories that treat difficult topics in a mature manner, adding warmly humorous touches to a potentially maudlin idea, speaks well for our continuing tastes.
From the opening frames of the film we learn that Griffin (Dermot Mulroney) has inoperable cancer: his frank and compassionate physician (Lois Smith) aligns him with reality. Griffin is a divorced father of two boys and his first attempt to find meaning in his limited time is to spend time with them, an attempt partially thwarted by his ex-wife. Once a workaholic, Griffin attends a class on death and dying at the university and there he meets the rather strange and isolated Phoenix (Amanda Peet). Griffin's new take on life encourages him to go after the seemingly impenetrable Phoenix and through a series of wildly frivolous escapades he courts her and they gradually fall in love - something neither felt they could do. They cope with issues of intimacy and finally Phoenix shares her secret with Griffin, a secret that plunges them headlong into a fully blossomed romance. How the two cope with the inevitable is well handled, rarely bordering on sappy, and always holding our compassion.
Director Ed Stone paces the film well, inserting moments of extended silence to match the emotional atmosphere, allowing breathing space. Both Peet and Mulroney create believable three-dimensional characters and are well supported by such solid actors as Lois Smith, Sarah Paulson, and Novella Nelson. The story may have sad aspects, but the cast always allows the humor inherent in any life event to come through. And that is one of the several reasons the film works well. Grady Harp, September 07
No Comedy This
John Rundell | Castle Rock, Colorado | 01/29/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)
"The jacket notes bill this movie as a "heartwarming romantic comedy" and Amazon's product description refers to it as "funny". Please: Heartwarming and romantic it may be, but a comedy its not -- from the very first scene it's about death, and it's not black humor. No living happily ever after here. Good drama; no romantic comedy."

Create The Shift Towards Vitalistic Chiropractic - Dr. Marc Hudson
Some institutions have an oppressive environment where students are forbidden from being exposed to Vitalistic Chiropractic. They're in a culture where they are afraid of making adjustments and of saying anything.
On this episode, we are here with Dr. Marc Hudson. He graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in 1994. He, together with his wife, Lynn, created ChiroEurope. They also founded Barcelona Chiropractic College, where they were able to raise two and a half million euros to establish it.
Dr. Hudson says that you can't be a Vitalistic Chiropractor when you practice in fear. It is because fear keeps you away from your practice or your dreams. He shares how chiropractors can get over their fears for them to achieve success. Moreover, Dr. Hudson also talks about ChiroEurope and how unique it is in the chiropractic world right now.

A Minnetonka man is accused of running a kickback scheme that bilked mortgage lenders out of $3.3 million, according to the Minnesota Commerce Department.
Steven R. Carver, 43, a former Realtor who operated Carver & Associates Real Estate in Maple Grove, allegedly arranged 18 real estate deals dating back to 2005 that involved inflated prices, kickbacks of loan proceeds to the buyers and cash returned to him in the form of inflated commissions.
The Commerce Department claims that in one instance, Carver brokered the purchases of six homes for $40,000 to $60,000 above their fair market value. That resulted in a commission for Carver of more than $41,000 and kickbacks to others in the scheme of more than $155,000. All of the properties eventually ended up as foreclosures or short sales.
"This was a deliberate, carefully orchestrated scheme designed for one purpose: to fraudulently rake in thousands of dollars under the table," Mike Rothman, the Commerce Department's commissioner, said Wednesday.
An attorney for Carver said the news release from the Commerce Department "mischaracterizes" the events and transactions and said that because Carver represented buyers, he couldn't have inflated the homes' listing prices.
"Mr. Carver facilitated hundreds of real estate transactions, and the 18 foreclosed or short-saled properties…represent only a tiny fraction of those trans-actions," Tim Webb, Carver's attorney, wrote in an email Wednesday. Carver himself was financially devastated by the downturn in the real estate market, Webb said.
The Commerce Department's action is an administrative case, not a criminal case. The next step is a prehearing conference at the state's Office of Administrative Hearings, scheduled for mid-February.
Carver intends to challenge the allegations, Webb said.
Carver could be subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation; the notice filed by the Commerce Department lists six violations. The department also could seek to revoke Carver's real estate broker license, but it lapsed last summer.
The Commerce Department also accuses Carver of providing false information, stemming from a meeting with the department in 2011 that Carver said he couldn't attend.
Carver claimed he was in Atlanta and set to "sail around the ocean for a couple of years," with a friend, departing Key West, Fla., the next day, according to papers filed by the Commerce Department.
Investigators doubted his story and the next day found him at a Minnetonka address, cleaning the swimming pool.
Webb said his client already had met with Commerce Department investigators several times between 2008 and 2011 and no longer wished to talk with them.
"But rather than honor his request to be left alone, (Commerce) investigators barged into his friend's back yard," Webb said.

Precious Gems
What are Precious Gems?
Precious Gems are most commonly recognised as the ruby, sapphire, emerald, pearl and are sometimes referred to as gemstones. Opals have also been considered a precious gem. Natural gemstones are limited in supply as to what already exists. No more can be made in short periods of time as gemstones take millions of years to create naturally.
Like diamonds, a good understanding and a healthy amount of research is needed to make an educated decision on an investment which will produce a profit. Gemstones are one of the most popular and sought after ways to invest wisely.
Why use Precious Gems?
Precious Gems like most precious metals are seen as a form of security which provides a valuable or tradeable item. Prior to the introduction of money, precious metals where used to buy and sell goods. This form of currency is still seen by some investors as a safe haven, if in the unlikely event the world economy were to fail.

Making life better with a little bling is known in the fashion world as standard operating procedure. But did you know your home can have the same effect by adding little touches that can provide impact? After all, fashion and interior design are symbiotic arts.
Making life better with a little bling is known in the fashion world as standard operating procedure. But did you know your home can have the same effect by adding little touches that can provide impact? After all, fashion and interior design are symbiotic arts.
|Forte Chandelier By Pentimento Lighting
One has to realize that the eye is attracted to light not darkness. Placing high chroma in an environment reflects more light and draws attention. The same thought works for enhancing your light fixtures. It seems an obvious choice that lighting will be the most dominant attraction in a room. But the actual light effect in the fixture can be enhanced with a few tricks of the trade.
Tradition has always placed crystal or reflective items around light sources. When all interior lighting was with candles, adding faceted prisms or placing the candle in front of a mirror amplified the lighting of the candle flame. This design process took hold and chandeliers, sconces and light stands all adopted crystals to reflect as much light as possible, even in the electrified age. This custom is now a design element, one that I work with on a day to day basis.
|Alto Chandelier by Pentimento Lighting
Putting a light source inside or beside a reflective or prismatic item magnifies the quality of the light and applies different properties to the light effect. Faceted crystal pendants will split the light into the light spectrum and fill your interior with the myriad colors of the rainbow. This can produce some amazing design possibilities for those of us in the lighting industry. With an array of crystal products on the market today, I can design for traditional lighting environments using faceted pendalogues, crystal spikes and rock crystal. Contemporary lighting is also using "bling" lighting elements to warm up an otherwise sterile environment. The juxtaposition of traditional elements in the modern environment adds a touch of whimsy. It also ensures that the lighting element be perceived as a design element and not just a source for brightening the room.
Adding crystals to a fixture can be simple. Attaching a cut glass element with pinnings to an existing fixture is an easy fix. But designing a fixture that will have the light source and the crystal element work to together to provide the most dazzle is an art if not a science. Developing a fixture to hold as many as 300 teardrop crystals for a contemporary dining chandelier requires enough structural integrity to keep the entire chandelier from crashing down on the dinner party. Weight is an issue and needs to be considered in the actual structural support that mounts the fixture. It is not unprecedented for structural enhancement to occur in a home or office to accommodate the weight of the lighting fixture when hung with oodles of crystal.
Crystal has an almost palpable effect on the senses. It can resemble diamonds and will elicit the same response in the viewer. There is something magical about light in the matrix of glass that mesmerizes and transfixes the onlooker. Captivated by the colors, one never tires at looking as a Strass crystal chandelier. Since glass is unique in that it can be colored and it will not fade, the array of possibilities for the actual fixture to compliment a color scheme in a room makes crystal lighting unique in the design world.
Through time immemorial the effects of light still make us wonder. Cleopatra realized these possibilities and had triangles of light projected with candles and mirrors onto the wall of her bedchamber. She was able to conquer Rome. The same dazzling effect can help you conquer your world from the confines of your bedchamber with just a little bling.

Campaign Issues
Let's stand together for Park Equity
I will fight to repair the injustices of the past, present and future.
Listen to our city's DIVERSITY
Recently the Minneapolis Park Board has been criticized for being insensitive to cultural issues and even a racist entity. From my experience in the parks I can empathize with this frustration. I don't believe that the park system intends to discriminate, but the current systems do not always allow for active discussion. I believe that listening, truly listening, to the concerns of all groups of people is the first step to action. As a Park Board candidate and commissioner, I plan to hold consistent listening sessions at local recreation centers, administer surveys, and follow up with concerns that affect our most vulnerable and underserved groups within the park system.
Create high quality YOUTH engagement
The young people of Minneapolis are the future of the park system. We need to ensure that our youth are effectively engaged in park activities and that we value and support their growth and development. Sports are the natural vehicle for this engagement and I will improve our youth sports to be more equitable and reliable. This involves simpler registration, volunteer recruitment and a willingness to compete and/or partner with private entities. We need to engage our girls more effectively along with our youth of color. I will fight for better recruitment of young people, encourage parents to get involved with youth sports and spearhead a publicity campaign that helps local parks recruit volunteer coaches. In addition, we must be equitable across the city and with the surrounding metro. There is no reason our kids can't compete with kids living in the city and they deserve better than what we are providing. We CAN do better in this area and this is my primary goal as a park commissioner.
Put $$$ in COMMUNITY parks human resources
It's time to focus on the people in the parks. When our kids go to the park they interact with park staff and volunteers. These are the people who are at the heart of Minneapolis Parks. The park recreation centers and neighborhood parks need people who make a living wage and are dedicated to the mission of the parks. That starts with our investment through wages, training and career advancement opportunities. Minneapolis Parks should be a "destination employer" in the Metro area for wages, opportunity and work climate. We must utilize our staff's talents and skills to positively affect the parks youth and adult programming. Additionally, we need to ensure that our volunteers that work in the parks are given the power to affect change locally. Volunteers present our system with a great gift and we need to do a better job of mobilizing and retaining those volunteers over time.
Stronger COLLABORATION with schools
Minneapolis Parks and Minneapolis Public Schools do currently collaborate on a number of initiatives, however, there is much work to be done in this area. With shrinking budgets on both sides, I believe the parks and schools can work together in a smarter way that encourages monetary savings and better coordinated activities. Studies show that kids who are engaged in their community are more likely to graduate. Students who are involved in athletics are also more likely to graduate. This starts for many youth in our park system, but the pathway breaks down along the way. With stronger collaboration and better systems the parks can be a true partner with Minneapolis schools on the path to academic and personal achievement. As a teacher in the school district, I believe I am the best candidate to help improve collaboration between our parks and schools and that any partnership involving the wholistic education of the student is in line with current school district goals and initiatives.
Educate for ecological ACTION
Waste in our parks is a reality that is unavoidable. As an environmentalist who supports most greening efforts in the city, I am very committed to making sure our parks are not only clean but environmentally responsible. As a teacher in Minneapolis I have helped organize students to divert nearly 90% of our lunchroom waste from the trash and into recycling or organics. Students at our school sort waste because the culture of the school expects that action. By investing in the human resources of recreation centers and ensuring that sorting bins are managed by staff, we can divert much of the waste that comes to the park. This takes training and more collaboration. Hennepin County, the City of Minneapolis and private entities are all possible partners for future training and education og psrk staff and the community. Parks can be environmental action stations to increase our recycling/composting efforts and reduce our waste citywide.

First of all, can we talk about how I can literally NEVER remember how to spell Reeses?? I have google it every time. For some reason I cannot remember that there's no "C" in it. Sheesh. :)
So, you may or may not know, but I am actually a SexyFit Nutrition Coach. I work with my girl Carmen and run 5 week long nutrition programs. It's literally the most rewarding job on earth. I can't express to you how much it makes me happy to help people work on their health and fitness. This recipe actually comes from one of my SexyFit participants Megan, and I'm in LOVE with it. It literally tastes like a Reeses blizzard! P.S. If you live in Denver and are looking for an awesome hair girl, Megan will rock your hair. So much so, in fact, that her email is email@example.com. :)
Let's get started!
3 scoops Vanilla Nutrimeal
1 C Almond Milk
1/2 Banana
2 T Peanut Butter (or see my previous post and make your own!)
2 T Flax Seeds
1/4 C Sliced almonds
In a blender you want to combine all ingredients, blend, and enjoy! Add ice too if you want a thicker shake! You could also be brave and blend some spinach up in there too! Don't be scared of the color, it's just a color! ;)
It tastes better if you drink it out of a pretty glass, by the way. ;) Thanks for the awesome recipe Megan!!

The Futile is Nathan Greenwood, his guitar, and a trusty Mac - spinning tales from across the singer-songwriter spectrum.
"Singing in quite a unique story-telling style - reminding me of the vocal delivery of Say Anything's Max Bemis - tracks like The White Flag, The Blue Sky sound like Dashboard jamming with Coheed and Cambria - it's a little off-centre, yet still catchy enough to maintain your attention. Nathan's vocals are spot on throughout, taking centre stage in the mix as any one-man band should do. Never needing to go down the verse/chorus route, Maestro, My Maestro sounds like The Remarkable Rocket crossed with the keys of The Maple State." - Punktastic

Algerian completed a double over Ethiopia in the last round qualifier to cruise to the final tournament.
'Les Dames Fennecs' as the North Africans are nicknamed managed to defeat Lucy in Addis Ababa 3-2 to complete a resounding 6-3 aggregate victory that saw them qualify for the biennial championship for the fifth time in their history after 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2014.
Ethiopia, missing out on the showpiece women's football event since 2012, started off the duel on a bright note as they knocked the doors of the visitors as early as the third minute. Tarikuwa Debiso was left unmarked after a goalmouth scrammble gave her space to strike but her effort was collected coolly by Algerian keeper Kahina Takenint.
The Fennecs eventually enter into the game and were successful in halting the offesnive strategy of the homers. In the 18th minute Naima Bouhani gave Algeria the lead. Bouhani collected a superb pass from Assia Sihoum to fire past the helpless Ethiopian keeper Abaynesh Ereqelo.
Bouhani, 32, continued to create havoc for the Ethiopian backline and was unlucky to see her effort sailing wide in the 26th minute.
Loza Abera came the closest to level matters for the home side but Takenint was brave enough to deny her from a tight angle 10 minutes from the break. Algeria extended their lead at the brink of half time when veteran defender Fatima Sekouane headed home leaving the on rushing Ereqelo stranded.
Upon the resumption, Lucy's showed a bit of rejuvenation in their attacking play; nonetheless it was the Algerians who struck again. Bouhani, who had been a thorn in the flesh of the Ethiopians, left her markers to the dead with a blistering pace and sent a low drive that was denied by Ereqelo but Myriam Benlazar was quick to react on the rebound as the visitors got a commanding 3-0 lead in the 52nd minute and take the game beyond the host.
Three minutes after the hour mark, a solo effort from Abera halved the deficit. Abera beat her marker to unleash a powerful shot from the edge of the box that Takenint struggled to beat off.
The Ethiopians continued to pile pressure on the visitors and a perfect delivery from Tigist Zewede down the right flank was headed in by Abera for Ethiopia's second on 72 minutes.
The Algerians fended off threats from Abera, Abaynesh Kelsa, Rehima Zerega and Hiwot Dengiso to achieve a historic victory and a place at next the final tournament later in the year in Ghana.
Selam Zereaye (Head Coach, Ethiopia)
We tried to field a team that can attack. We had setbacks in our attacking plan and that led our visitors to grab two goals. The goals we conceded totally brought us down. They (Algerian) effectively capitalized on our weak links and played on counters to get goals. We showed character until the end but eventually lost the tie. I am content with our performance today. I take full responsibility of the outcome of the duel.
Azzedine Chih (Head Coach, Algeria)
I am very happy with the result we have notched. Our objective was simple and clear - to get a ticket that can take us to Ghana. Ethiopia has a very strong side and they were better than us but we were good at getting goals. I think our goal scoring prowess is what got us a spot at the final tournament. Performance-wise the game was very fantastic. I am very glad to see a lot of people watching the game in the Addis Ababa Stadium.

It's no secret I get fired up about things. I was designed that way. As a result, I hate indifference. At least I did until about two weeks ago. The word indifference makes me shutter and brings to mind:

- Indifference = spiritual stagnation
- Indifference = BLEH
So imagine the disruption I experienced last week when I read this...Read More

text: David Lander David L. Lander, born in 1947 in Brooklyn, NY, the youngest son of two schoolteachers, decided to become an actor when he was 10. His training began 4 years later at New York's High School for the Performing Arts and continued at Carnegie Tech and New York University. After college, David moved to Hollywood and found a job writing for a short-lived variety show, ROMP! Next, while working for an answering service, David was discovered by a radio producer who liked his sense of humor and the unique voices he performed. David was then given an audition with The Credibility Gap, a satirical radio show based on the day's news. It was here that he and fellow "Gapper," Michael McKean, first performed "Lenny And Squiggy" before a live audience. One of the radio listeners was Penny Marshall, who had just been given a new show for ABC, Laverne & Shirley. She convinced the boys to perform at one of her parties, where Garry Marshall asked if they would audition for the characters of this show. The very popular show ran for 7 years (1976–1983). During that time David and Michael appeared in over 200 episodes. David has appeared in several feature films, including Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Man with One Red Shoe, and A League of Their Own. In addition, he often does voiceovers for radio, television, and cartoons — including the animated feature film, A Bug's Life and two ABC animated series, Jungle Cubs and 101 Dalmatians. David also has been featured on the hit soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS), as well as TV shows Sabrina, The Teenage Witch (ABC) and Mad About You (NBC). In June of 1999, after 14 years of silence, David announced that he has multiple sclerosis. He joined the National MS Society as an ambassador to increase awareness about MS and the Society — and demonstrate that you can enjoy a fulfilling career and active life despite having a chronic illness. In November 2000, David was named the National MS Ambassador of the Year. Since then, David Lander has been featured in many interviews on TV, radio and in print. He also published an autobiography, Fall Down, Laughing (September 2000, Putnam) — a candid and humorous description of "How Squiggy caught multiple sclerosis and didn't tell nobody."

Thief Steals Car 3 Nights In Row, Returns It With Full Tank
Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet, right?
That's probably what one bold thief thought when he borrowed stole a couple's Range Rover, worth almost $200,000, three nights in a row.
The kicker? Each morning he returned it nice and clean, with a full tank of petrol.
The owner of the luxury 4WD, Wealthy Wang from Hangzhou, China, noticed the car missing from an underground car park, where he kept at least five other high-end vehicles, and alerted police.
However, authorities were left scratching their heads when the car appeared the next morning in not just a pristine condition… but also a full tank.
Say what now.
Upon checking out the CCTV footage, police found a bloke about midnight walking into the car park and taking off with the car before returning it about 6am.
Upon returning from a third night out with the car, 19-year-old Zhang was pinged by the cops.
It later emerged that after learning Mr Wang's routine, Zhang forged a pair of keys. He told police that never intended to actually steal the car, he just wanted to impress his friends - and the ladies – while posing as a wealthy bachelor.
He would return the Range Rover back in immaculate condition so his actions would go unnoticed.
He spent 15 days in jail.

Jakers! I LOVE Piggley Winks
Suzanne K. | 07/09/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I am so excited to see that "Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks" is available on DVD. It is the only series that I allow my 16 month old watch and he loves it. Each episode begins with Grandpa Winks telling his grandchildren a story of growing up with his friends in Ireland and then the episode shows Grandpa's adventures as a youngster, "Piggley Winks". Each story has a lesson and the series shows the importance of family and friends. Also, you know it's got to be good if Mel Brooks is involved (he supplies the voice of Wiley the sheep)."

"I am so glad that Jakers has come to DVD. I actually miss watching this during the day because of work. I can honestly and proudly say that I have been known to watch this program on PBS even when my children aren't around because I enjoy it and the sheep crack me up every episode! This is definitely a movie adults won't mind watching with their children. Sunday movie night just got a boost!"
We love Jakers!
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I was so happy to see that some episodes of Jakers has been released to dvd. We used to watch it with our daughter on the local pbs station in nyc but then we moved from the area and found that our new city's local pbs station didn't show it. This is actually the one kid's show that both my husband and I don't mind watching with our daughter. Jakers follows the adventures of Piggly Winks and his pals while growing up in Ireland. They get into plenty of mischief but there is always a lesson to be learned and the values of families and friendship are strongly reinforced. Whether you're already aquainted with Jakers or are new to it, this is a great dvd."
Piggley Movies are awesome!

"Piggley movies share great values with children while still being entertaining. I love the Irish accents and my daughter tries to imitate them."

A Color Run had been on my bucket list since they first hit the UK, and exploded all over my social media sites, last year. I had wanted to sign up to a fun run/race to keep me motivated in my running, so when I saw the Color Run was coming to Sunderland this July, I rallied some friends together and signed up. As it happened, I shortly after disappeared travelling for four months and returned home just a couple of weeks before the run took place and I wasn't anywhere near as prepared as I wanted to be. Even though the run is only 5K, I was anxious about my lack of practice but the only person who was bothered about my performance not being good enough, was myself.
Arriving in Sunderland and seeing the swarms of 'Color Runners' heading to the start line in their temporarily white T-Shirts I felt the buzz of excitement and any unnecessary anxiety was diminished. Aside from the gallons of coloured powder thrown over you at each Kilometre, the most refreshing thing about the event was that it encouraged everyone to take part. All ages, all sizes and all abilities can revel in the truly unique experience without worrying about how fit you are or the pressure of winning. The race isn't timed, and no one is judging whether you run, walk or dance your way to the finish line but you still get that sense of achievement and rush of endorphins as you cross the finish line. It's the 'happiest 5K on the planet!'
Until next year, here's a taster of the day's colour!

I spent the weekend in one of my favorite food cites in the world, New Orleans. This was my first trip back since Katrina and it did not disappoint. I went to one of the classic places for a jazz buffet brunch, The Court of Two Sisters. The food was Creole, French and American. We sat outside in their courtyard and had a wonderful meal with a beautiful view. The remoulade sauce served with the crawfish and shrimp was the best thing I tasted. They also made eggs Benedict to order, which was a pleasant surprise. After the Court of Two Sisters, we had dinner at two newer venues, The Bourbon House, a Brennan's restaurant, and GW Fins. Both were good but GW Fins is not to be missed, the seafood combinations and flavors were excellent! We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at GW Fins and the restaurant threw in dessert as a gift.
Put the Cell Phone Down
Obviously, Broadvox grows because people make phone calls. So, I am not against people making phones calls. And the future of IP Communications and our telecom ecosystem rest with mobile applications and cell phones. All of you that read this blog know that I recently proposed to our VARs that they should add mobility to their VoIP/SIP Trunking offerings. However, I was thoroughly annoyed by this woman in front of me in the buffet line at Court of Two Sister. With a plate in one hand, serving utensil in the other, she thought it appropriate to maintain a conversation on her phone delicately balanced between her cheek and shoulder. Moving slowly so as not to upset the balance of all she was holding, I could only stare and wish she would drop the phone in the caramelized apples prepares for the Bananas Foster.
Telephone etiquette has been lost, as cell phones have proliferated. It is now okay to stop a conversation mid-sentence if your phone rings. It is okay to speak as loudly as you can in an elevator because the signal is getting weaker. Well, I am here to say it is not okay. I carry my phone wherever I go. I am anxious if I leave the house without it. However, I do not maintain a call in the elevator. Moreover, unless it is our CEO, Andre Temnorod, or my wife, I will complete the sentence or thought.
New recipe next Monday and I promise something more studious on Wednesday.

15 Jan Where Are They Now: Jurassic World
By a narrow 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court reversed the District Court's decision to certify a class action lawsuit in which the plaintiff class, which included 19.3 million Jurassic World patrons who attended the June 12, 2016 massacre, alleged the Jurassic World company of putting ticket holders' lives in danger after they set the Indominus Rex loose in the theme park.
The Lead plaintiff Erica Brand, a Verizon Wireless manager, was visiting the park earlier this year on business when, as she claims, "all hell broke loose". The Supreme Court's decision to reverse the class action lawsuit comes as a surprise since hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives that horrific day and Claire, the park's operation manager that day, was vocal with reporters that it was definitely Jurassic World's fault.
The board of directors for Jurassic World have been highly criticized for refusing to pay medical expenses for the victims and declined to offer comments regarding the Supreme Court's recent decision.

Richard Pearis
The 1987 BellSouth Yellow Pages for Greenville County, Page 2, provides some information regarding Richard. The article states:
According to one researcher, Richard was commissioned a Lieutenant and moved to South Carolina to work with and live among the Cherokees. A handwritten memo concerning Paris Mountain from the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism states:
"Unhallowed Intrusion," by Don Shadburn indicates Richard, as a young man, served in the French and Indian War and was distinguished by a certain notoriety as an interpreter and trader among the Indians at Old Chota and other Indian town sites before the American Revolution. The book also indicates in 1768 he left Winchester, Virginia, and moved to Greenville, South Carolina, settling on the Reedy River. According to Shadburn, he established a large plantation and built a grist mill and trading post, stocking it with goods hauled from Charleston.
One researcher maintains Richard Pearis had a Caucasian wife, Rhoda, and three children, Richard Pearis, Jr., Margaret Elizabeth Pearis and Sarah Pearis, while also having an Indian "side wife" named "Pratchy." The Indian "side wife" had a son whom Richard named "George" and a daughter, "Nelly."
Colonial Records of South Carolina, Series 2. Documents Relating to Indian Affairs, 1754 1765, pages 98 and 99 contain a letter from John Smith, William Preston and Richard Pearis to the "Catawbaws," written in 1756. The letter, in part, states:
James Glen was appointed royal governor of Colonial South Carolina in 1738 and came to the colony in 1743 to serve until 1756, the longest tenure of any governor during its Colonial period. Ludovic Grant was an established trader in the Cherokee Nation where he married a full blood Cherokee of the Long Hair Clan by the name of Elizabeth Tassel Coody or "Eughioote". Being of "good" family and well educated, he became the agent and correspondent of the Governors of South Carolina. His letters kept the governors informed of the happenings within the Cherokee Nation. The Colonial Records of South Carolina: South Carolina Indian Affairs Documents, 1754 1757, pages 15 - 20, contain a letter from Ludovic Grant to Governor Glen. The letter mentions a Virginia trader by the name "Paris." The letter states, in part:
Another letter, found in the Colonial Records of South Carolina: Documents Relating To Indian Affairs, 1754 - 1757, Pages 40 - 45 states, in part:
In History of South Carolina In The Revolution 1775 - 1780 McCrady CHAPTER V 1775 Pages 86 - 89, Richard Pearis is mentioned:
Pages 92 - 93 state:
Two pages from an Old Frederick County Parish record show
signatures of
parishioners who participated in communion during 1761-1763. The
register was found in an original book among miscellaneous Frederick
County records in the Library of Virginia (Archives). At the top
of the register is this statement: "I do declare that I do
believe there is not any transubstantiation in the Sacrament
of the Lord's Supper, and in the Elements of Bread and Wine, at or
after the Consecration thereof by any Person Whatsoever."
This was one way of saying that the communion table was for
Protestants only. The Roman Catholic church believes the elements are
transubstantiated, or they actually become the body and blood of Jesus
Christ, at communion time.
Apparently, Richard Pearis was not what we might call a "model citizen." I found a Virginia Colonial Records Project document, survey report number 577, Letters to Secretary of State, where Mr. John Stuart wrote to the Earl of Hillsborough, Charles Town South Carolina on 8 January 1773 to report that "Jacob Hite and Richard Pearis, of Virginia, are reportedly fraudulently to be obtaining cessions of land from the Indians." (pages 211-215)
In the same document, on page 292 there is another entry where Mr. John Stuart again wrote to the Earl of Hillsborough. The letter, on 21 December 1773 was "regarding the judgment given in the Circuit Court against Jacob Hite and Richard Pearis for illegally obtaining cessions of land from the Indians."
Richard was apparently active in his support of the British. An abstract of pay due to Captain Richard Pearis states:
"Abstract of Pay due to Captain Richard PEARIS Commanding a Company of Colonel STUARTs Corps of Loyal Refugees in West Florida for himself 1 Serjeant & 3 Privates upon Detachment in Georgia & East Florida.
Great Britain, Public Record Office, Audit Office, Class 13, Volume 93, page 620.
Not only was Richard Pearis active in Georgia and East Florida, he was also active in West Florida. He was captured somewhere in the western portion of Florida by the Americans. His parole document follows:
West Florida Loyal Refugees
"I do hereby acknowledge myself to be a Prisoner of war on parole to His Excellency the Commander in Chief of the American forces and that I am thereby engaged until I shall be exchanged to remain within the British Lines and that I will not in the mean time do or cause to be done anything prejudicial to the success of the American Arms, or have intercourse or correspondence with the Enemies of the United States. Witness my hand this 8th Day [of] June 1781- Richd. PEARIS Capt. W. F. Loyts. Witness Geo: Carrington Cort. P.L.D."
Great Britain, Public Record Office, Audit Office, Class 13, Volume 93, page 616.
His activities ultimately resulted in the destruction of his property. In a memorial to the Commissioners Appointed by Acts of Parliament, he wrote of his family's sufferings during the war, noting that:
"In the year 1776 when my Estate was burnt and destroyed, my Wife, 2 Daughters and one Son were surprised by break of day by one Colonel Thomas and 400 Militia; beat and abused my daughters and made them all prisoners, after burning, destroying and carrying away the Property, forced them to March thro' Rivers and Creeks on foot 25 Miles in one day, without victuals or any thing to cover their heads from the Sun; afterwards kept them confined three days without any Provisions, then sent them off in an open Wagon 100 Miles and turned them out to shift for themselves amongst a parcel of Rebels without money or Provisions. They were then obliges for three years during my absences on duty to be depending on Charitable People added to their own Industry for their Living, and under continual Apprehension of being massacred."
After the Revolution, Richard Pearis was exiled to the Bahamas Islands. Homeward Bound, The Bahamas Islands to 1850 by Sandra Riley. ISBN0-941072-06-1, pg. 253 no. 8: states:
"[Richard PEARIS] He left three tracts of land on Abaco to his wife Rhoda. To his son Richard and daughters Sarah and Margaret he bequeathed the land in Nassau and two hundred acres on the River in West Florida. Richard Jr. received his father's Calcoa land and all the property in the United States." Will Book "F", pg. 460-464, proved 15 December 1794.
Richard Pearis is listed as one of the Loyalist settlers who were granted land by the Bahamian government from 1778 - 1783, The information comes from "The Early Settlers of the Bahama Islands with Account of the American Revolution" by A. Talbot Bethell (1930)
I do not know whether Margaret Pearis is Richard Pearis' daughter or Richard Pearis Jr's wife. Although I suspect Margaret is Richard's daughter. I also do not know which Richard Pearis held this land grant, Jr. or Sr.
I found an index of a will for Richard M. Pearis on the National Archives of the Bahamas web site. This index indicates the will was "proved" on 15 December 1794.

text: DigitalMorning Revelations With Ana Marie CoxBy Betsy Rothstein|November 22, 2011ShareBy Betsy Rothstein|November 22, 2011Share Slowly but surely, The Guardian's Ana Marie Cox is unspooling the details of what happened to her this summer. But she doesn't talk about it in complete first-person. She uses politics to help her along.Her latest story: "After the supercommittee, Congress needs rehab"An excerpt: At this point, congressional Republicans' attempts to even look like they're trying to do something on deficit reduction remind me of my own attempts to curb bad behavior: institute some arbitrary-ish rules (no eating carbs after 5!), along with daunting (but self-imposed!) consequences for breaking my own rules (can't watch "Jersey Shore"!). The flaw in the scheme runs deeper than you'd think. Sure, it's easy for me (being the person who designed the whole setup) to then wiggle around the rules.People use the metaphor of legislators being "addicted" to spending (or tax cuts) pretty casually, but thanks to Newt Gingrich's invocation of the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous, I wonder if there's a more substantive comparison to be made between congressional malfeasance and compulsive behavior. The first of the Twelve Steps, after all, is to admit you're powerless over the action you want to stop, that there's no out-thinking yourself, no deals you can make, no amount of willpower you can muster.One often has to hit bottom for this to sink in, and certainly Congress is looking at their bottom – even if they think it's a hole in the ground.

Thank you.

The Atlas of Living Australia (Atlas) has access to biodiversity information only because the information is available in digital form. To assist data providers create and manage digital data, the Atlas has been cooperating with partners to produce a range of guidance on different aspects of digitisation.
See also Imaging Hints and Tips for information on a range of imaging topics.
Digitisation is essentially making a digital version of an object (eg specimen, work of art, photograph, analogue sound file, videotape), wrapping that version in metadata and making it available for sharing.
Digitisation has six core activities:
The process of digitisation follows a five-step model:
To help you improve your digitisation activities you can use the digitisation maturity model. This model allows you to rate your 'digitisation maturity' on a scale of zero to five and explains the actions you need to take to improve that maturity against each of the core digitisation activities. Details of the model are given in Digitisation: A strategic approach for natural history collections [.pdf 9.3 MB].
This document is also available as an ebook from the Apple iBookstore.
Most Atlas partners have effective mechanisms to database their collections, but creating a digital image of a specimen or field note book or ledger has been a challenge because of limited resources or equipment.
To inform our support for imaging activities, the Atlas commissioned Dr Les Walkling to review the imaging needs of collecting institutions. In his report Digital Imaging Requirements Review[.pdf 759KB] Les talks about:
Following from this report, Atlas is developing a range of practical guidance to assist our partners and other data providers better image their collection:
Download Introduction to Resolution [.pdf 3.7MB] for an short introduction to digital resolution (courtesy of Dr Les Walkling).
The Australian Museum (AM) and South Australian Museum (SAMA), in association with the Atlas, have been exploring the use of volunteers to image and database specimens:
As indicated in the final reports of the project, both exercises demonstrated the value of using volunteers to image and database specimens.
Documents produced by the Australian Museum are available on their website and those from the South Australian museum on their site. All provide a basis for other institutions establishing a volunteer-based digitisation program.
