California Cool: UGG Australia
Our global trend reporter, Crystal Nicodemus, reports on her music festival adventures from sunny California.
Hello from Indio! It's been a wild week of musical mayhem and poolside parties down in the Coachella Valley. I'm totally exhausted and exhilarated all at once. My favorite event was definitely UGG® Australia's Style Haven. This one-of-a-kind house party was the perfect mix of festival chic and laid-back fun. Between previewing the latest collection from UGG Australia, the putting green, the nail art station, the snow cone machine and the ping-pong table, there were a million things to do!
'Lucianna' Sandal in Tomato Soup
UGG Australia has a huge line of summer footwear that was perfect for both the festival and the parties. I am dying over these striped espadrilles!
No concert outfit is complete without a floral crown, and UGG Australia brought in Michelle Madonna from That Madonna Girl to help us all customize our own boho bands!
Victory at the ping-pong table!
Models Jourdan Dunn and Chloe Norgaard getting silly for the camera. Chloe jumped into the DJ booth a moment later and brought the house down with her eclectic tunes.
Group shot! Check out all the amazing people who made this awesome event happen.
This weekend was such a whirlwind—I loved every second of it! Thank you to UGG Australia for the amazing shoes, which have not left my feet. I've definitely found my new summer staples! I can't believe Weekend 1 of the Indio music scene is over already and I have to leave the sunshine and head back to reality. I hope you all enjoyed this little sneak peek into our festival world.

Saturday 31st December
Not done much crafting today spent it playing with the puppy. I've managed to turn the heel. I struggled with this mainly due to not reading the instructions properly. So read a few blogs to make sure I got it and then looked at the instructions and realised I had misread it all. Ah well all sorted now.

It's truly sad when the church is divided amongst itself, and the world only see's Jesus Christ as a thing to hide behind or a fictional character. Lately I have been wonder alot about being a "Christian" per say. Now I am not trying to say being a Christian sucks now, or that I am one of those guys who wants to ditch the title of a Christian and just be a Jesus Follower, but I don't want to just be a Christian, "I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN"
Jesus had and lived a life style unto which was completely BOLD for God and showed what he was truly about while still showing the true LOVE of what God is as well. He stood directly in the middle of the line and walked it and showed the narrow road which we all had lost along the way and yet I can not help but feel that as Christians we have this great message still and can convey it in as many different ways as possible but with out the true Bold Love that Christ had I can not help but think that it is squandered away lost in a way that can not be touched because in one hand, we want to say God says this you are wrong, and in the other Jesus said love and that is that.
When God made a Covenant with the Israelites he always had two parts. the first part was always pretty simple, follow me and I will bless you and help make life good even when the bad comes around. With the other, If you choose to not follow me I will have to punish you because because you agreed to be with me. So it is pretty obvious what is to go on. Yet the true purpose of this was to assure and confirm are love for God it was not for God to just say hey I will only love you or only hate you. Although somewhere along the lines we lost sight of that, and have come to the ultimate conclusion(since we can comprehend God now cuz we're sooooooo smart xp) that he is only one or the other not both, and if he can't be both because we said so and are able to make are own "God in a box"
So how can we walk this line? How can we follow in the foot steps of the perfect Rabbi? What is it that we are to do when all we know how to do is try?
In my honest opinion I think it is Love with the Passion that God had. Not only in this passion was it with God, but it was shown through God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as well.
God Continues to Love us regardless of how we can hold up on our own, as long as we walk with him we will be shown what we really need to do to be a CHRISTIAN.
A perfect example of this in my opinion is Jesus at the well.
We all know the story, Jesus Goes to the well and the woman at the well fetches him some water. They start having a chat.(Note that this is like rule number one and two broken because she is a woman highly looked down on in this culture and two she was a Samarian and if you were a Jew like Jesus was you're not supposed to talk to them) then the conversation takes an interesting turn. lets read it shall we?
John 4:2-42
15 The woman *said to Him, "[c]Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw." 16 He *said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here." 17 The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus *said to her, "You have correctly said, 'I have no husband'; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly." 19 The woman *said to Him, "[d]Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." 21 Jesus *said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 God is [e]spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." 25 The woman *said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us." 26 Jesus *said to her, "I who speak to you am He."
I think right in 23 is where it nails it on the head, no bible pun intended, but he states "the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the father in spirit and truth; for such people the father seeks to be his worshipers"
What is the truth? Gods Covenant.
How can we follow it? in spirit and in truth.
it seems almost sooooo easy!!!! but yet the truth we divide and split lines. the spirit we squander and hide away only wanting to what we like about it and the rest we hide for our own desires.
It is heart breaking to me to know that we all do this. We all fall short, even I do(not saying i'm super holy or something just to clear that up now. just a regular guy who likes the Bible and Jesus.... Alot....) but instead of seeking the truth or the calling in which we feel from the spirit we try to run another way and we try to pass it off as if it was nothing.
Where are these worshipers that God so desires? Where are the one who want to walk in the spirit and the truth? why is it that we are so afraid of not only God but ourselves that we choose to let the pettiest things cause a division among us so big that it leaves the devil with a grin across his face.
In Jeremiah 6:16 it says
16 Thus says the LORD,
"Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'
It clearly says Stand and watch and ask for the ancient paths and with God we can find rest for our souls. That we can walk in the good way, and that The Lord has said too.
So now I ask. Can we all look for this ancient path? Can we all have the truth and the spirit be with us and in us so that we can have our God look upon us and say" You, you are my CHILD, you are my CREATION, you walked in my SPIRIT, you are my CHRISTIAN. you are my TRUTH"
thanks for reading and Gods Blessings.

One of the benefits of picking the brains of awesome people for your book is, well, picking the brains of awesome people! As they share their advice and experience with children, I learn a lot from them, too.
Some of my biggest learnings from the draft of I Am A Writer at the moment are coming from a place of gratitude, and creating manageable projects.
One of the writers in this book is Helen Tau'au Filisi. I met Helen through a mutual friend, and it was through my self-published books that she was encouraged to publish her own books. She says, "I never dreamed that writers would be able to self-publish… Now I'm able to make choices about the type of books that I want to publish, their covers and also the layout of the books. It is a creative process that I greatly appreciate."
Recently, I was listening to a podcast about nature, diversity and happiness. They discussed how when we have luxury or 'treats' often, they become part of our baseline – they don't feel like a treat anymore. I think that somewhere along the line this has happened with my creative work. I have forgotten to be grateful for the privilege of making art – the space, the energy, the income, the support from friends and family.
Also, I find that when I come from a place of gratitude, I'm also coming from a place of enthusiasm and excitement. These are wonderful ingredients for creative making!
Manageable Projects
Both Izak and Becky (from Izak Smells) talk about having manageable projects. Like their three-comics-a-week webcomic site. But the lightbulb moment for me was when Izak said: "Every now and again we compile our favourites into books… This is possibly the easiest way to make books. We just push ahead in bite-sized, manageable chunks until there's so many of them that they turn into a book all by themselves."
Mind. Blown. Possibly the best advice I'll get all year.
"I Am A Writer" will be launched on Saturday the 18th of February, 2017 at Meow Cafe in Wellington.
I support fellow artists and inspire young creatives. Donate.
I write, paint, draw & make zines. Shop here.
I visit schools, blog, vlog, teach, and participate in festivals. Subscribe.

As part of its "Greatest Games Lineup," Microsoft released Gears of War: Ultimate Edition last year. This version went beyond simply giving the original game higher resolution textures, and featured assets which were completely remade from the ground up to meet the standards of a modern game while retaining the classic control scheme and level layout of the Xbox 360 title.
Today, Microsoft is releasing the game on Windows PC. As you would imagine, this version of the game sports 4k resolution built with Direct X12 to provide users with even more detailed visuals. The game will have unlimited refresh rates with unlocked framerates for both campaign and multiplayer. Players on either Xbox One or PC can now face off against one another thanks to crossplatform play through Xbox Live. It will also feature controller and mouse and keyboard control support.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is available now on Windows 10 PC.

Northwest Indiana Eye & Laser Center eye doctor Scott Buck, M.D., commented that patients may wonder what eye exams could possibly have to do with your risk of colon cancer. As it turns out-plenty! The retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) is a layer of the retina which can sometimes be thicker than normal at birth-or "hypertrophic". Congenital Retinal Pigment Epithelial Hypertrophy (CHRPE) is usually found before patients reach 30 years of age and although they may enlarge with time they usually do not lead to malignancies like colon cancer. "During regular eye exams when we find these areas of retinal pigmented epithelial hypertrophy typically they do not cause any vision problems or symptoms and are pretty unremarkable," commented Dr. Buck.
However, there is an association between people with Gardner's Syndrome-Familial Colonic Polyposes-or polyps of the colon, and CHRPE. "If your eye doctor has told you that you have Congenital Retinal Pigment Epithelial Hypertrophy-perhaps called "Bear Tracks" or "Pigment Spots" or "Retina Freckles", it is important to carefully explore and review your family history reasonable with a Gastroenterologist who will likely schedule you for a colonoscopy," said Dr. Buck. It may be that the freckles are caused by the same genetic mutation that produces the polyps. A study published in 2010 in the American Journal of Gastroenterology concluded that patients with such freckles should be referred for colonoscopies.
Thus-when we are over 50 years of age, the reasons to have yearly eye exams includes not only detecting cataracts, glaucoma, age related macular degeneration (AMD) and other eye diseases, but regular eye examinations may very well be a reminder to be screened via colonoscopy to help detect early risks and potential indicators of colon cancer. To schedule an eye exam please call Northwest Indiana Eye & Laser Center at 219-464-8223, or visit Northwest Indiana Eye & Laser Center or facebook.com/nwindianaeyeandlaser.
Northwest Indiana Eye & Laser Center in Valparaiso, IN is staffed by a team of Ophthalmologists, Optometrists, Opticians, technical and administrative staff who provide eye examinations for adults and children, cataract surgery and intraocular lens implants (IOL), laser vision correction such as LASIK, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the retina including diabetes and age related macular degeneration and diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma as well as contact lenses, eyeglasses, eyewear and optical services. We are conveniently located for patients seeking eye care from throughout northern Indiana including La Porte, Mishawaka, South Bend, Michigan City, Crown Point, Merrillville, Chesterton, South Haven, Westville, Hebron, Lowell, Valparaiso and Walkerton as well as Chicago, Illinois suburban areas of Frankfurt, Calumet City, Monee and Crete.

John Oliver weighed in on the Republican National Convention on Sunday's "Last Week Tonight" and concluded that it felt as if it emphasized "feelings over facts."
"The Republican National Convention in Cleveland, the most apocalyptic thing ever to happen to that city," the host introduced the event. "And bear in mind, their river has repeatedly caught fire."
He then played a montage of convention speakers who touted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's business acumen. Oliver said they were contradicted by the reality of the situation.
"Now, before you laugh, you cannot say Donald Trump is not a visionary," the host said. "For a long time, he was the only one who envisioned himself as a presidential nominee. He is basically what happens if 'The Secret' gets into the wrong hands."
He then explained how the whole idea of Trump's superior business skills was "somewhat undercut by the fact the entire convention was a mismanaged s---show."
He pointed to Melania Trump's partially plagiarized speech; Ted Cruz's speech, in which he didn't endorse Trump's candidacy; and the fact that Trump tweeted that he had known that Cruz wasn't going to endorse him, yet still let his opponent speak.
"That's not reassuring," Oliver said. "If the captain of the Titanic had tweeted after the fact that 'I saw that iceberg two hours before and sailed into it anyway. No big deal!' You wouldn't think, 'Wow, that captain sure ran a tight ship.'"
Oliver's biggest problem with the RNC speakers and Trump was that they asserted things during their speeches that weren't grounded in reality.
"[The RNC] was a four-day exercise in emphasizing feelings over facts," he said. "This focus on feelings reached its apex in Donald Trump's acceptance speech, which was light on concrete policy but heavy on provoking strong emotions."
After showing clips from Trump's speech, the host exclaimed, "Holy s---! He sounds like he's about to announce the first annual Hunger Games."
After which, Oliver pointed out, "It is worth noting that since President Obama took office, crime rates, the flow of illegal immigrants flowing over our borders, and unemployment benefits have all declined. And yet frighteningly, when reporters started pointing that out, it didn't seem to matter."
Watch Oliver's take on the RNC below:

In this study, the optimal conditions for biomass torrefaction were determined by comparing the gain of energy content to the weight loss of biomass from the final products. Torrefaction experiments were performed at temperatures ranging from 220 to 280 °C using 2080 min reaction times. Polynomial regression models ranging from the 1st to the 3rd order were used to determine a relationship between the severity factor (SF) and calorific value or weight loss. The intersection of two regression models for calorific value and weight loss was determined and assumed to be the optimized SF. The optimized SFs on each biomass ranged from 6.056 to 6.372. Optimized torrefaction conditions were determined at various reaction times of 15, 30, and 60 min. The average optimized temperature was 248.55 °C in the studied biomass when torrefaction was performed for 60 min.

Economy Bright in Poland
According to experts Poland is a magnet for Foreign Direct Investments thanks to its stable, continuously developing economy, relatively low labor costs, preferable geographical location and very well-educated workers.
According to the forecast Poland should expect a EUR 13,000 million inflow of FDIs in 2008 which represents a EUR 166 million increase as compared with 2007. Romania can expect EUR 8,000 million worth of FDIs and Ukraine – EUR 7,000 million, while Belarus – only EUR 200 million.
The overall situation of Poland among new EU member states is not the best, banker.pl cautions. There are several reasons why Poland may lose its attractiveness for foreign investors: privatization processes are almost completed, international companies have already finalized the most significant mergers and labour costs are growing thus worsening companies' financial results.

I'm not very good at picking out gifts for nine-year-old girls (I leave that job to my sister); however, I think I'm pretty good at wrapping them. The girl whom this gift was for is into competitive figure skating, so I used that as inspiration for the wrapping.
The bag/box is one that I've held on to from an H&M (maybe Urban Outfitters?) purchase a few years ago. The dots simultaneously remind me of falling snowflakes and the sequins of figure-skating costumes sparkling under the spotlights.
To embellish the gift, I used a couple of feathers and a strip of glitter tape. The neon gift tag adds just the right bit of discordant ugly.
And while the nine-year-old didn't spend much time admiring the wrapping before tearing into it, I was very happy with the results. Score 10 in my books.

Hello all!
With our daughter rapidly approaching walking age, and more and more kids coming to our home, I'm looking for a night stand handgun safe with some sort of combination and quick access but keeps the weapon secure in the meantime. It would also be great to have one I could mount if I decide to, but could stand alone without that as well.
I'm checking here to see if there are any verified reliable safes like this that members would recommend.
Thank you!

Rockalily Style - Bloated and Unable to Find Anything To Wear/
I usually find getting dressed pretty quick and painless. I've worked hard to try and only own clothes I enjoy wearing, which has made picking an outfit much easier. I was heading out with a best friend to 90s club night, and must have tried on 12 different looks. It was miserable, and reminded me to feel gratitude that I don't usually feel so gross and undressable.
I looked pregnant in everything I owned, and instead of having a meltdown I clocked that I must be due on, as once a month, just before my period if due, I swell right up. When I carried a little more weight on my belly I never understood what people meant when they said they were bloated. The fat meant I was unable to visually see anything different. Now I have less fat covering my stomach, I really see the difference if I'm hormonally swollen. If you've seen Freelee Banana Girl on youtube, a super slim lady who eats a billion bananas, she shows how extended her belly gets after a large meal, as she has no fat on top of it. She's a more extreme example though!
In the end, I settled on disco pants and a loose top over. I'd usually tuck tops in, but I didn't want to feel conscious of my belly, I wanted to have fun!
It must have worked, as I danced the night away to 90s classics and didn't think about my clothes or body once - perfect!

Anime Weekend Atlanta Pro Contest - Best Sentimental
After lots of stupid encoding probles, I has a video....that I've had for lotsa months now >_>
This video was made for AWA Pro, and ended up winning Best Sentimental. whoo! (thanks to all who voted for it ^^) Initially I had a different song in mind for all this, but I didn't have quite the right footage for it, so after seeing the 'Where is Matt' video on the net, I got this song and ended up using it instead. Personally I really like how the video itself ended up coming out. It's my first multi anime vid, and I likes it!
The lyrics to the song are as follows:
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
Huge huge thanks to my Brad for doing the credits and pretty much putting the video together. (touchups, encoding and the works.) To Prod, for taking over when I was stuck and ready to throw the keyboard into my beautiful 47" TV and to all my beta testers who didn't do anything at all, but thanks for watching the early versions of the vid I guess :P

Interpretive Reporting
Interpretive reporting forms a large part of the site evaluation work scope and provides the stakeholder with critically important information regarding the sub seabed conditions at the site. Typically, an interpretive report will comprise of laboratory testing results, geological and geotechnical interpretation and an analysis of the impacts upon your site or development. As well as utilising our considerable geotechnical expertise in interpreting laboratory testing results, Cathie Associates are pioneers in the use of more graphical approaches to supplement method utilising Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to better exhibit the geological conditions on site. Our GIS staff are adept at utilising geo-statistical and geospatial methodologies which permits the visualisation of a statistical analysis of your site. This approach, when combined with a more 'standard' interpretive report, enables easier visualisation of the site with respect to planned infrastructure and its interaction with the geological environment and serves to inform members of the project team who are perhaps not from a geological background.

PQD: Hold the door!
Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.
Rose Lane
Have you ever smiled at a stranger, given a tip to your local smoothie shop cashier, or even helped someone struggling to carry heavy boxes? It is the idea we leave a friendly door open to the world with positive thoughts behind positive action. In my experience leading a life without expectation of people are situations is the best way to live.
Think about it: how many times have you been disappointed by people because you expected 'a little more'?
By putting forth a positive face to the world we are leaving that door open for the world's positivity to enter through our door. It is as simple as the person who you helped returning the favor, "good karma" revisiting you with a $20 bill on the ground, or any example you can think of.
As the good book says "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks." (KJV). So in order to fully leave our hearts door wide open we must rework our thoughts to exude positivity, and we just might be astounded on the good that enters through into our hearts.
So today:
leave your heart open to let the good pour out of you into this world, and let the love of true friends and family to enter in.

Visting District 4 with the Makeup Addict
Image Posted on Updated on
I am constantly impressed by the visual combination of makeup and costuming accessories, and "District 4" does not disappoint. Whether you are a fan of the 'Hunger Games' series makes no difference; this photo is an exemplary example of fantastic makeup work. From even a cursory look you will definitely find the imagery reminiscent of the sea: the fisherman's net, the dashes of blue, the damp hair, and what appears to be the presence of lingering sand on his face.
A great visual treat for lovers of beautiful make-up, the Hunger Games, and simply, awesome photographs.

PQD: "Love grows where my Rosemary goes." Wait… Thats not John Lennon?
"Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle."
Marie Lloyd
Some of you may be familiar with the song, quite simply titled, as 'Love' by John Lennon. The message discusses an individuals understanding of love, and consequently, reflects the authors desire for love.
Have you ever stopped and wondered why you loved that person despite whatever transgressions this person committed against you? Have you ever considered what it is in your life that you truly love?
Reflecting on these things and the recent events of my life; I have a few observations of my own. Love is as simple and complex as expression. To feel love without expression is to rob yourself of giving love, and others to receive that love. To falsify that love with a "pseudo-love" in an attempt to conform someone into your thinking is wrong. If there's anything that human nature will teach us is that we will not be fooled by a fake product, because the results of that product are also fallacy.
The answer is the true expression of love. That is to act and speak in a way of loving others. That means searching out their feelings by taking an interest in them, and addressing their needs.
If you do not feel love towards another: take the time to understand their needs regardless. Or if that goal cannot be attained; remove yourself from the situation. There is no need to complicate and irritate a situation that is non-existent.
My friends, never give up on someone you cannot go a day without thinking about. It is one of the oldest literary clichés known to man, but its wisdom holds true. But, that doesn't mean hold on to something that is not there. It takes a pairing of our intellect along with our heart to find out the difference between mutual love and unrequited love. Love becomes problematic when we only employ one of these.
It is a miracle that love works the way it does, and when we experience it fully (i.e: the love of a child) it drives us to reach for a higher existence. Encouragement of another stems from freely given love, and that positive energy feeds our very souls. Have you ever felt a surge of creative inspiration by viewing something beautiful? It is that very feeling of being impassioned, emblazoned, and empowered.
Those that offer you love that inspires and sustains you is love you should nurture in good times and bad. Make yourself available to recieve love and give love. That, my Jesters and Halequinns, is the nature of a miracle we partake in every day, and by the Grace of God, we are lucky enough to recieve.

PQD: What time does positivity come on?
The mind is like a clock that is constantly running down. It has to be wound up daily with good thoughts."
Fulton J. Sheen
How do you wake up in the morning? It is, without a doubt, seemingly obvious question after reading this intriguing quote hovering above these words. It is a serious question all the same. So, take a minute and think about a few things: 1. Are my first thoughts of the day of dread or inspiration? 2. Do I look forward to the day's events? 3. Do I loathe or cherish my interaction with others?
Seriously, think about the answers to these questions.
If you answered in the positive: you are attempting to live your life in a way that greets the world with both an open mind and heart. It is important to maintain this positive outlook with self-affirmations and positive self-talk, which will breed positive action and create desired results.
For those who answered in the negative: not to worry! We are all in this life together to; hopefully, pull each other up and out of these negative thoughts. I remember times in boarding school where I would wake up and absolutely dread the thought of the forthcoming day. That's because I didn't have the proper tools to look positively on the day ahead.
What do you mean by tools?
I'm talking about the tools to think positively and change the old self-talk monster into a manageable and friendly ally. Some tools that you can use:
- Self-affirmations– actively encouraging yourself by saying positives things about yourself.
- Become an active participant in your own life! – Like the movie "yes man" adequately demonstrated the power of 'yes'. Don't shy from life, because that way you lose out. All too often I said no to things, because I was waiting for something better that, often times, would never come.
- Associate with positive people- I couldn't figure out why my mood was so down back then, because I never imagined the answer would be found in the circle I associated with. Find people who support your dreams, give freely of themselves, and love unconditionally.
- Take pride in you- often times I treated my body and mind disrespectfully, because I did not cherish my own self-worth. By that I don't mean I cut or was deeply disturbed, but I mean I ate unhealthy foods and constantly put myself down. In the struggle for acceptance we lose our value by calculating it by the acceptance of our peers. Not so my friends. Take pride in all that you do, because you know at the end of the day whether you performed or not.
So, my friends don't let the clock of your positivity run down to zero. Let us remind ourselves that our worth is nothing that can be labeled on us. Wind yourselves up with happiness instead of coffee and morning traffic.
You are capable of a better life.

I am Artist of the Month for November on the R&F website www.rfpaints.com I have images up and an interview with Laura Moriarty. My new Array series are shown on the site.
In the Array series I am working with grid based content, larger dots connecting with smaller dots forming the whole. Array is referring to organization and implies order. Nature seems random but she is actually very ordered. The pieces have a soft geometry, giving the feeling of the artist's hand.

Kissimmee, FL - The 2009 Geneva College softball season opened on Monday with a two-game split in the first two games of the Golden Tornadoes′ ten game swing through Florida. The day did not start well as the Golden Tornadoes dropped an 8-3 decision to Transylvania. Geneva College recovered later in the day with a 5-1 win over Webster.
After spotting Transylvania a 2-0 lead after one inning, Geneva cut the lead in half with a run in the top of the second. Samantha Bautista′s sacrifice fly plated Lyndsay Piette for the first run of the season. The momentum did not last as Transylvania came right back with three runs in the second. Trailing 8-1 in the last inning, the Golden Tornadoes plated a pair of runs in the final frame. RBI singles from Adriane Blake and Amy Pearce forced in the final two runs. Rebekah Wahl suffered the loss by allowing five runs in four innings of work.
Geneva had eight hits in game one including three hit performance from Blake and a pair of knocks from the bat of Amy Pearce.
Game two was dominated by starting pitcher Ashley Archer. Archer tossed a complete game and allowed just one unearned run. She scattered seven hits and struck out four in the win. Offensively, Geneva banged out 12 hits including a three hit game from Michawn Rich. Rich got the offense going when she scored the first run of the game in the first inning on an RBI single off the bat of Amy Pearce. The Golden Tornadoes opened the game up with three runs in the third inning. Back to back RBI singles from Amy Pearce and Lexi Svingos highlighted the rally. Blake, Svingos, Pearce and Kim Slater each had two hits in the night cap.
The Golden Tornadoes will face Mt. Union College and Wittenberg College on Tuesday at Kissimmee, FL.

The rusty spinner works for many mayfly species, as they are spent with egg laying. The dead/dying flies are flush in the film, with their wings splayed out. When fish are keyed on spinners, they take a relaxed rise, conserving energy and not too worried about the bugs escaping. Usually, you'll just see a nose […]

A few things I've noticed about small organizers:
- they're either way too specific or not specific enough
- way over built or too flimsy
- super masculine or overly feminine
I've been looking for a way to hold my travel writing utensils as well as a few small EDC tools--items I don't need often, but want near by. After searching the web for quite some time, I see-sawed between small 'pocket' organizers, compact make-up cases or pencil cases. I've put pocket organizers in quotes, because no girl's pants would ever fit a 'pocket' organizer. These are for men's pockets--pockets that work and are functional as opposed to merely ornamental. Women's trousers are more fitted than mens'. Even cargo pants for women are odd with pockets placed in silly areas--at the knee in some cases--making them cumbersome if not dangerous to move in.
Here's a hilarious picture (for women at any rate) of a 'pocket carry' pouch:
Ahhh hahahahahaha! *wheeze* snort, donkey laugh. Seriously? Is that a giant tumor in your pocket, ma'am, yo baby head, or what?
So, for women, that typically puts us in a spot--we have to carry more items off-body. Off-body = purse or backpack (or messenger or attache).
I have two backpacks that I like, but each sits at home. They're heavy to carry and cumbersome at work. We have a small cabinet for employee bags: maxes out at four. So I'm back to using my old college messenger-style bag. Heavy-weight canvas with a couple good-sized external pockets, a few internal pockets and zips. It's a bit big--but more narrow than that backpack, easier to stow behind my work area & it doesn't look sloppy.
A guy I work with has a Maxpedition organizer, either the mini or regular size. Looks like this:
Measures approx 5x7, about 1.5 thick empty. There's a mini version that is 4x6:
Thanks to edcgear.co.uk for the comparison pic: surprising how hard it is to find a good size-comparison image.
Lots of similar pouches:
Triple Aught Design Op1 pouch (TAD gear):
Fantastic organizer, great for backpack, too large for most other 'carry' at 7.25x6.75", pockets, loops, elastic, zips all over this thing. I have one & love it, but not for my EDC.
(BTW, Military Morons is an amazing site with great gear review--really detailed pics of many items that are often better than what you'll find on the manufacturer's sites. I've used them for excellent information about backpacks in particular. They're really good about showing items in context--either on people or loaded. Well worth checking out.)
Spec Ops brand pouches:
More stream-lined than Maxpedition, 7.25x4.25" with fewer loops--which personally I find to be a drawback.
County Comm has their version, the Diplomat Organizer, sliiiightly smaller than Spec Ops:
Included another 'pocket' pic so the ladies out there can have another laugh.
They all organize gear well, with a price-range for anyone.
Pros: lots of tabs for gear, slots for mini notepads, clam-shell opening for fast viewing, velcro for moral patches, tactical colors
Cons: overall tacticoolness
Anymore, I feel a little ridiculous when I pull out bags with molle or PALS systems on them. Sure they look awesome and work great! But though I work in an industry where such things are not out of place, for personal use, they feel a little overbuilt. Great for military/rough wear conditions. I feel a little butched-out with it, like I'm trying to be all operator/tacticool, as opposed to actually being able to find a "form follows function" organizer. The usual color suspects: black, OD, Foliage, FDE, various cams, I'm not behind enemy lines, nor am I living off the earth where bright colors may identify me to The Enemy. I want rugged, functional and not intimidating looking to the average civilian either. Since I'm an Urbanite, sometimes military-use items attract curiosity. I'd rather blend in and look like the harmless little girl you think I am...
I did really like this Maxpedition insert--seemed like it had great posibilites, not just as an addition to a bag, but as a slender, stand-alone sleeve for light carry items:
Frankly, this would be ideal for the small carry items I'm trying to organize: little Leatherman Juice, mini-pry-bar, small pocket knife, couple of glow sticks--but it doesn't have enough room for the various pens/pencils I also carry--and I really do want a one-stop-spot for this stuff. But the sleeve really does appeal--so versatile. Also--you have to check out MilSpecMonkey for not only cool gear, but for a good selection of moral patches. I just picked up this one:
Little bit of an in-joke here. Apparently I lack a certain amount of class, according to someone hardly qualified to judge--which of course has turned an off-the-cuff criticism into a longer-lasting funny.
I thought this patch might help me try to remember to 'stay classy'. Apparently I need all the help I can get.
I sure don't care, but it's taken on a life of it's own, so...there it is.
Okay--so there are a lot of great items above, really solid, useful gear--love that in most cases you get a quick overview of all your items at a glance--fast ID is extremely important. Less so for my purposes, but certainly critical when under duress. But, again, I'm not a big tacticool gal, not even really tactical. And the gear above, while really solid, just doesn't fit in, in my circles--and standing out isn't my goal.
I tried a variety of make-up bags, or rolled up shaving kit bags--the idea's similar: lots of storage, minimal space, quick overview of items--easy access. But where the above tactical organizers were perhaps to masculine and warrior for my circumstance, the shaving kits/makeup bags were uniformly too...girly. There are so many colors of pink and violet and things with flowers...these too are oddly out of place on me--and the goal was organization of pens/pencils + light gear/tools--and the fabric of makeup bags just wasn't tough enough for repeated use & carry--nor were the small pockets the right size for writing utensils. I'd hoped that pockets for makeup brushes and applicators would translate to pens, knives, flashlights...just didn't work well.
The shaving kits/roll up kits were less girly/cheesy--but took up a ton of space when unfurled--and again, the spaces therein just didn't work for the odd sized (and odd collection of) items I wanted to carry, compactly and neatly. But A+ for thinking outside the box!
The above are okay: just either too looooong & not enough small spaces--or too clear. And I really don't want someone checking out all my crap. The clear pockets are pretty brittle--you can tell they'll be prone to cracking over time. They're both also pretty big--certainly way larger than a 'pocket' whether that's in your pants or the flap on a messenger bag/rucksack. Just a total wash. There's a lot of animal print out there in the makeup world, BTW. Zebra is especially popular in a variety of colors.
Ugh. Zebra. What is it with animal prints and girls? Is there an equivalent animal print with men? I don't think so--and that's odd, because men traditionally hunt more. OH....wait. I get it.
Be that as it may, I did opt for something more civilian friendly/girly: the pencil case. And here's another interesting finding: US pencil cases suck. They're usually just a large flap of fabric, with no compartmentalization. While this may be okay for elementary school, (frankly, I feel it is not. I remember as a child wishing my pencil case could separate more items better) it's not okay for people who write a lot & use several different tools.
Enter: Japanese pencil cases. Yes, the Children of the Sun have done it again with amazing, well-thought out, intelligent designs. There are so many different styles of pencil cases, it's difficult to narrow down the search: but all were based upon specific writer needs--and designed to solve storage, transportation and usage issues.
Why can't the US do this? Why do we default to a sloppy one-size-fits-all mentality? We're a Super-Nation, theoretically full of unique individuals, and yet we keep cramming ourselves into increasingly smaller and less adaptive solutions.
All the above pics are from insidious pen site: Jetpens Don't go there if you're a pen/writing fiend. You've been warned. My Nomadic pencil case is the light blue version shown above, but these cases come in several different colors--grey, green, pink, orange, etc. I like how high-viz it is: easy to find pens & the case itself. Very happy. I got two versions of Nomadic cases--one for writing utensils and one for a variety of computer cables, flash drives and misc. small tools. Am satisfied with them both for now. We'll see how they fare over time.


text: District 10 is a geographically diverse district lying in the northern San Joaquin Valley and encompassing eight counties; three urban counties on the valley floor and five rural counties located in the foothill and mountain region of the Central Sierra. The counties include Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne. There are 3,547 lane miles in District 10, which includes four Sierra passes, three rest areas, 29 cities, the Port of Stockton and numerous transit authorities. Maintenance operations are divided into five geographic areas with 24 maintenance stations all under one-maintenance region. The District has an annual payroll of $38.9 million for approximately 524 permanent and 100 temporary help employees. The annual operating expense is an additional $35.7 million, for a total annual budget of over $74.6 million. The Capital Program consists of approximately 160 active projects ultimately worth approximately $4.5 billion. The Capital Program includes State Transportation Improvement Program & Local projects worth approximately $3.9 billion and State Highway Operation and Protection Program projects that are worth approximately $593 million. The major urban areas in the district are the cities of Stockton, Modesto and Merced, with a combined population of approximately 1.5 million. The district borders the East Bay Area and continues to experience increased levels of congestion due to heavy commuter traffic through the Altamont Pass and other routes connecting to the East Bay. The five mountain counties continue to experience growth. This development is primarily focused next to existing foothill communities. Two of the district's mountain counties border on Yosemite National Park. The district has been very active in interregional issues concerning access to the Park and the development of the Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System (YARTS).

Kathy Wilcox of Burnet, Texas has created this nice big tote bag! I'd call that Texas-size for sure. Here's what she had to say about it:
"Tomorrow I go to the Houston International Quilt Festival for 3 wonderful days of looking and shopping, so I made a big selvage tote bag to carry every day (20" wide x 18" long x 6" bottom). I stitched the selvages to muslin and then fused the muslin to fusible fleece to give the bag some body and then quilted it all. Lining is the black polka dot fabric like the straps. It should be a conversation starter in Houston."
Kathy, tell us how the show went. Was the tote big enough? ;)
This is Kathy's second project, she's finished her blue zinger top and is ready to quilt it! Stay tuned!

They win our wars and then, in times of peace, they help us fill our idle hours. They are the gears that drive our economy and the bulbs — clap on — that light our living rooms. Apart from that, I don't know why I am so fond of inventors.
Perhaps it is their idealism, or their unwavering faith in themselves; or maybe it is my belief in the rule of 1,000 — i.e., for every thousand odd and peculiar notions, there is one that really works.
And so I went to an inventors' showcase recently. As with other such meetings, a handful of wallets were on hand, looking for investments; no one said "Dragon's Den" out loud, but that's what I was thinking.
And you may banish that thought right now: columnists do not have any money to invest. But here is what I saw:
A fellow has come up with a way of marking almost any object you own in an indelible and invisible way, for insurance purposes, using your personal DNA.
Your what?
Okay, you get a capsule filled with a fixative solution, and also a swab to stick in your mouth. You swab your mouth and put the spitty end into a capsule with the solution.
The other end of the capsule has a marker-like tip which you use to dab your own self onto your valuables; as soon as you register your DNA in a database, Bob's your uncle for the purposes of insurance.
Swabbing spit on your laptop beats actually spitting on it, which I am sometimes tempted to do, although not for reasons of security.
Another fellow has invented the next-generation daily pillbox. You know what I mean — lidded compartments, one for each day of the week, into which you put the non-recreational drugs you take on a regular basis. But his is digital, and works in conjunction with your smart-phone.
The inspiration?
"I read some articles about older people and medications a few years ago." I might have read those articles, too, but if I did I don't remember, which is the point.
My favourite invention?
A guy from Thunder Bay has a vacuum cleaner that sucks up goose poop, burns it, and spits it out in the form of fertilizer. I can see it used here, in High Park, where walking can be messy.
The inventor, John Ferris, has tested other versions of the device — it looks like a giant shop-vac — on horse and pig and cow manure. You keep upwind of him when he is working.
A couple of smart young fellows have invented a no-drip gas pump nozzle. Why? Because, when you fill 'er up, there's always a drip or two of gas that gets wasted.
The fellows have their patter down. One said, "A British Petroleum-sized spill, that's how much fuel is wasted at gas stations globally every year."
But wait, there's more.
Another fellow has invented a sort of pin-light grid useful for lighting up the roadway at crosswalks. I like that idea a lot.
He is the same fellow who invented the solar-powered boat, which runs in silence and should be mandatory on all our inland lakes.
Still another guy has a sort of suitcase fitted with a collapsible shelf, useful for holding socks and frillies and so on; when you unpack, you simply pull it out and hang it up. He's making money. He's in production in Scarborough, and in Kitchener. He was, at one point, manufacturing in China.
And therein lies the subtext for the entire showcase of inventions: everyone has a thing that needs making, and most of the making in the world happens in China.
I may return to this.
Joe Fiorito appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi all,
I have literally played this game for 10 years and have never had a main. With that said I more specifically mean that I have never hard core focused on any one class for a period of more than a couple months. I have literally played and to this day still have an account that has 1 of everything on it (almost all 110 also). With that said I tend to never have professions and maxed out anything at any given time because my time played is always split between multiple toons. I have never have max professions...whatever the current zone is I never have max reputations farmed...etc etc etc
What does it mean for someone to put years into something and still not have a main mean?
That playstyle as far as progression goes is obviously bad right?
Why dont i have a main? lol why why why ?
Ive always wanted to play at the top peak of performance but i just seem to never be focused on 1 single path
I did not find the right solution from the internet

The Memorandum of Understanding between UNESCO and the IAU, whereby the two bodies undertake to work together to implement UNESCO's Astronomy and World Heritage Initiative, was first signed in 2008 and was renewed in 2013. Since 2008 the IAU has played a vital role in a wide range of activities, coordinated up to 2012 through its Working Group on Astronomy and World Heritage and during the 2012–15 triennium directly under the auspices of Division C. The SOC co-chairs have been responsible throughout for coordinating the Initiative from the IAU and UNESCO sides.
The main deliverables to date have been the ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study on the Heritage Sites of Astronomy and Archaeoastronomy (2010) and the Portal to the Heritage of Astronomy (2012). The Thematic Study, developed by the IAU in collaboration with UNESCO's independent advisory body for cultural sites, ICOMOS, presents an overall vision of astronomical heritage through a wide range of case studies and helps to establish criteria by which World Heritage List nominations relating to astronomical heritage sites can be judged. The "Portal to the Heritage of Astronomy" is a dynamic, publicly accessible database, discussion forum, and document-repository on astronomical heritage sites throughout the world, directly linked to UNESCO's World Heritage Centre website. By the time of this meeting a second Thematic Study will have been published, addressing, through a number of extended case studies, key issues such as the protection of dark skies.
The bulk of the proposed sessions and topics within this focus meeting fall into two categories: those dealing with broad questions in the assessment of astronomical heritage (T2–T6); and progress and issues with projects focusing on particular potential nominations (T7–T9). T1 addresses issues in the implementation of the Initiative itself, while T10 is of particular interest given the importance of the Hawaiian Islands' heritage with regard to both modern and ancient astronomy, the involvement of the Mauna Kea Observatory in the "Windows to the Universe" project, and the expected publication, by the time of the General Assembly, of at least two major new works relating to Hawaiian cultural astronomy.
Certain issues, such as authenticity and integrity—of vital interest, for example, to modern observatories seeking assurance that heritage recognition would not in any way compromise their continuing ability to do cutting-edge science—and conservation and management issues, will enter into most or all of the different topics. Broad questions can often be addressed most clearly through relevant case studies, whether or not the sites concerned are on the World Heritage List or a national "Tentative List".

The Supreme Court of Mexico issued a unanimous ruling Wednesday afternoon that paves the way to universal marriage rights in the country.
The actual ruling won't be published for a little while, but the gay rights advocates who brought the case are proclaiming that today's ruling "opens the door to equal marriage in the whole country."
The court ruled on behalf of three same-sex couple seeking to marry in the southern state of Oaxaca. The court had already ruled in 2010 that gay marriages performed under a Mexico City ordinance had to be recognized nationwide. With this precedent, the remaining bans on gay marriage in most Mexican states could quickly fall.
This ruling does not immediately eliminate marriage statutes limiting unions to a man and a woman—the Mexican Supreme Court doesn't have the power to strike down state laws like that en mass as the United States Supreme Court does. But the lawyer who brought the case, Alex Alí Méndez Díaz, said before the ruling that victory would mean the beginning of the end for bans on same-sex marriage.
(More about Méndez here—he started the case as a law student.)
The court's ruling that the ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutionally discriminatory is partly based on a February ruling from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that governments can't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, Karen Atala Riffo y Niñas v. Chile.
This case could have repercussions outside of Mexico—by expanding this precedent to include the right to marry, courts in other Latin American countries that recognize the Inter-American Accord on Human Rights could follow this precedent and determine that marriage rights are also protected in their countries. And the Inter-American Court itself could be more likely to recognize a right to marry—a case brought by three couples trying to strike down Chile's ban on gay marriage has already begun making its way through the international judicial system.
