The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

Today a legend in the business spoke with King World News about the continued massive demand for physical gold and silver, and why this may be a huge summer for both gold and silver. Keith Barron, who consults with major companies around the world and is responsible for one of the largest gold discoveries in the last quarter century, also spoke about what is causing this rally in the metals and what he expects going forward. Below is what Barron had to say in this tremendous interview.
Barron: "The two-day plunge in the US dollar has been the catalyst for the move higher in both gold and silver. The gold market and the silver market have been very oversold in the last month or so. Over time the US dollar will just continue to lose purchasing power.
All of these fiat currencies are rubbish anyway as countries continue their money printing binges. The fiat money only exists as currency because people have not yet entirely lost faith in them. In the Middle-East and Far-East they have been embracing this reality and getting out of paper currencies….
I had been telling you about the enormous physical demand for both gold and silver and now these markets are beginning to respond. Both markets are doing very well today on continued US dollar weakness. We are also continuing to see tremendous physical demand around the world for both gold and silver.
We are getting into the summer and what is considered to be a slower time period, but there is a lot of European debt that is coming due this summer. It will be interesting to see if it is going to get rolled over, and if it does get rolled over, on what terms?
Some of these European countries have been having a very hard time selling their bonds. This debt problem will be very constructive for the metals during the normally calm summer months. Usually we don't see much activity in the precious metals during the summer, but we did last year and we may well have an interesting summer in the metals again this year.
We have seen a whole bunch of governments announce in the last month that they have added to their gold holdings. Premiums are very high and the bottom line is that demand picked up massively in response to the lower prices for both metals and it has not abated.
There are a tremendous number of bullish signals right now for gold and silver. Every so often you get the type of recent turbulence we've seen in the gold and silver markets, but investors must not lose focus of the long-term fundamentals. The interesting thing is that during this recent weakness we have seen the Dow and the S&P hitting all-time highs, and the Nasdaq has been strong as well. But I firmly believe these equity markets are in a bubble right now.
So there is money being shoveled into the Dow through QE, but the boom in stocks is not being reflected in the economy. In fact, the employment numbers reported in the US this week actually showed job losses. Conditions for most Americans are just getting worse.
But, again, the fundamentals for both gold and silver are incredibly powerful and extremely bullish for the metals going forward. It seems the worst may be behind us and it will be very interesting to see how the next leg higher in this secular bull market in gold and silver unfolds."

Everyone knows the rule of etiquette that guests should never wear white to a wedding. But what about white bridesmaid dresses? We saw it in none other than the royal event of the year, where Pippa Middleton almost stole the show with her plunging cowl-neck gown.
And more recently, another "celebrity" wedding, Kim Kardashian's black and white themed bash.
Featured on Style Me Pretty, this bridal party is wearing our Lela Rose's Style LR120 in the color Ivory.
You can also pair a black sash with your bridesmaid gown to create a classy and simple look.
Time will tell if white becomes more mainstream like black bridesmaid dresses. If you're ready to buck tradition, here are some of our lovely styles that can all be ordered in white or ivory.

I've been working like a crazy lady emphasis on the crazy part! I'm working p/t at Target at nights, not a bad gig considering there's no stress, no papers to grade, no lessons to prep, and no daycare costs. Plus I work with a fun group of people, many who are younger than I and single. Granted there's not that big of an age gap but they are in a different part of life than I am. I have a card class I'm prepping for and I am also working on my Christmas gifts. That's right, I'm doing handmade gifts with a few exceptions thrown in like a gift card or two–in a cute handmade holder! I wish I could say my desk is only this messy when I've got lots going on, but actually it's normally a little worse!
|From Christmas 08
My gifts:
-8 photo calendars
-ornaments (not sure what these are yet 🙂
-a few mini albums (about 5)
-a couple of journals/sketch books
-rice heat packs-with lavender harvested from my garden
-cute little emergency card kit, more details later
-? that may be it…..
I have some great layouts for the calenders all ready, using the stamps, wheels and paper I mostly have on hand. Using the Stampin Up 8.5 x 11 calenders. These are big enough to decorate but also there's enough room to actually use on the calender! Since this is such a big project I've been doing it in steps a little each day and now that I have things prepped I just need to assemble and I'll be done by next week! Seriously sweet! Last year it was the week before Christmas and I wasn't close to be done!
But in the meantime I made a cute little sushi card for my friend, Lori "Stamper" (as my hubby calls her). Her and I like to get together and have some california rolls and craft so I thought this was a fun card. I should note that Lori is like a super stamper, card maker. So giving her a card I always have a little inferiority complex. But my cards are a little funky and different from hers so I think she likes them!
|From Christmas 08
So there's my little sushi card complete with chopsticks and my horrible attempt at calligraphy!

Haute Quarter Grill (recently relocated to downtown Anchorage from Eagle River) may have a bit of an identity crisis. Indeed, its very name seems to be the source of some confusion.
Since deciding to review it, I've heard the restaurant's name pronounced every conceivable way ("oat," "hot" and my favorite, "Haute-Ashbury"). "Haute," from the French word for "high," is defined as high-class or high-toned. But the restaurant itself offers ribs, sliders and a french fry appetizer -- not exactly high-toned cuisine. Perhaps the name is an inside joke? If so, I fear it's a bit too "inside." Several people I've talked to thought it was likely to be too fancy or too expensive for a casual night out. And that's a shame, because it's an inviting place with a lot to offer.
For starters, the thoughtfully remodeled space (it used to be the Downtown Deli) is very welcoming. A sunny, window-fronted bar looks like the perfect spot for a post-work drink and a bit of people-watching. The dining room, by contrast, is finished in warm, autumnal colors, with dark hardwood floors and cozy booths. It's a very appealing place to eat.
My daughters and I went for an early weeknight dinner. We were seated right away and were greeted by Mark, our very attentive waiter, who quickly had us set up with menus (including a nice children's bill of fare for my 8-year-old), drinks, and a few playful jokes. My children were charmed.
To begin, we ordered the Manila clams, the gnocchi in a Gorgonzola cheese sauce, french fries to keep the girls happy, and -- only because I can't resist it, not because we needed it -- the French onion soup. The clams ($14.95) were a hit. They were small and slightly sweet, in a savory broth liberally studded with garlic, herbs and small-dice tomatoes. The Gorgonzola gnocchi ($9.95) made me question whether I really understand what proper gnocchi should taste like. These were unlike any others I've tried -- very light, fluffy and pillowy, a far cry from the dense, dough-y ones I'm used to eating in restaurants and from packages. I loved the texture of these but don't know if this version is more or less authentic than the chewier ones I'm used to. That said, I found them a bit under-seasoned and would have liked a bit more salt in the dough. I liked the Gorgonzola sauce, distinctively cheesy but with the sharpness of the cheese balanced nicely by cream.
The French onion soup ($7.95) was on the sweet side for me and was not as brothy as I would have liked. There was so much bread that the texture became a bit stodgy as the broth soaked in. But it was generously cheesy and satisfying, if not memorable.
The french fries ($7.95) are listed as an appetizer and a generous helping arrives with a bearnaise sauce and what is described as banana ketchup. This piqued our curiosity and was met with confusion by some other nearby tables. What is meant is banana pepper ketchup. Word to the wise -- this is a strong condiment. But it's a fun twist on a straightforward side dish and I would buy this sauce from a bottle. Mark wordlessly brought my daughters a ramekin of regular ketchup -- a thoughtful touch -- and we were all made happy. The fries themselves are perfect: skinny, salty, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. An addictive basic done right.
For a main course, we ordered the pecan beer-battered halibut (off the appetizer menu) and, based Mark's enthusiastic recommendation, the restaurant's special: the Cajun blackened prime rib with seafood hollandaise ($31.95).
We all enjoyed the halibut ($17.95) -- it was very crispy with a really flavorful crust, not the bland, tasteless variety that turns up on so many menus. The inside was tender and flaky.
I don't normally comment on meals ordered from the children's menu, but the simply prepared grilled chicken breast deserves a mention. Juicy, tender and with a pleasant charred taste off the grill, it was really a cut above most children's restaurant fare.
The prime rib dish was ... perplexing. Each element of the dish was well-executed. The roast beef was tender and cooked to a perfect medium-rare. The Cajun crust was zippy (though it tasted distinctly of many meals I had in 1989, when everything seemed to be blackened). The hollandaise sauce was rich with seafood. The garlic mashed potatoes were earthy and buttery. But somehow, it didn't all come together as a cohesive dish. It was all just too much -- a case of the parts adding up to less than their sum. The dish was just generally too heavy and felt old-fashioned.
I returned a second time with friends for drinks and appetizers. Our waiter was professional and pleasant, but I missed Mark's chatty charm.
My companion ordered the same clam dish I'd had before and it tasted quite different: the sauce seemed sweeter, thicker and less garlicky. It was not quite as bright and clean-tasting as the first version. I appreciate that meals prepared a la minute will vary according to the chef and the night, however, this felt like an inconsistency that should be addressed in the kitchen.
Our table shared a trio of sliders ($12.95) which were close to being great but regretfully fell short of the mark. I loved the flavorful patty and the pungent blue cheese bacon butter nicely cut by a sharp note of pickled red onions. The only problem was the bun. It was weirdly greasy, as if it had been brushed with butter before being sent out. I rarely complain that something is too buttery, but I ended up peeling off the top half of the bun to enjoy the sandwich.
We added a spinach salad ($6.95) to our meal. I particularly appreciated the tangy walnut sauce because I often find restaurant dressings to be too sweet. However, I think the dressing was dealt with too liberal a hand. The bacon, egg, cherry and walnuts were overwhelmed by it. I would order it again but with the dressing on the side.
On that note, I should mention that between my first visit and my second, several menu items had gotten an updated preparation -- as pointed out by our waiter. So, perhaps they're still tweaking some of the recipes. I would like to see a bit more balance on the menu and perhaps they're addressing this. Many of the dishes are on the heavy side -- fried offerings, large cuts of red meat and lots of cream-based sauces. It's a little challenging to order a multi-course meal that doesn't feel overwhelmingly rich.
If the salad was a bit over-dressed and some of the dishes too rich, the patrons were not. Haute Quarter Grill is a fun, unpretentious restaurant with well-executed bistro fare (especially when they keep it simple). And there's nothing "haute" about it.

Happy Wednesday!
This week's chosen band is a reader recommendation, Vitamin String Quartet. They're a string quartet, ergo the name, out of Los Angeles, California. Most of the music they do are string tributes to genres and bands from the moderately popular (Tiger Army and Thirty Seconds to Mars) to classic rock (Rush and Iron Maiden) to top 40 music (Daft Punk and Skrillex). They also have a few original songs off their album Per_Versions.
What I mostly like about their music is it works as an EXCELLENT ear worm cure particularly for songs that are on the radio all the time even if you like them they still get stuck in your head. Sometimes I have trouble with ear worms because when I try to listen to the song it self to "reset the track", I end up getting it even more stuck in my head because now I remember the entire song. Where as with string versions of these songs, I get the melody but because it's missing the lyrics it gets unstuck.
And additional bonus to listening to this band publicly, as in out loud, is to the casual observer you sound like you have really classy music tastes before they recognize the tune.
This is a band that I've found it's best to listen to mixes of rather than specific albums and that way it kind of becomes a guessing game as to whether you know the song before tabbing back over to see what it is.
Here's a list of mixes I really enjoyed:

If you have a band you'd like mentioned on here, leave a suggestion in the comments. I love getting new music recommendations.

In this clip, Lawrence O'Donnell rails (gently) against people, most particularly Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, who don't go by their first names. It's not exactly serious. But I have to say that although I know many fine people who go by other-than-first names, it does make me go hmmm.
But the weirdest/most charming item is O'Donnell's confession that his "Starbucks name" is Jim.
My buddy Melissa's Starbucks name is Cynthia, because somebody at Starbucks called ehr that years ago and she didn't have the heart to correct her. It's a bit like the case of Jerome Williams, who was called "Jeremy" when he played for the S.F. Giants. (I know the feeling. I had a teacher in middle school who called me Muriel.)
I think a lot of people have other names they use in some facet of life. The Canadian uses "Morgan" when he's going to be paged, say, at a busy restaurant, because he once heard that Morgan is the easiest name to distinguish. And I've known somebody who used an Italian name when he ordered pizaa, becaue he figured they'd take a little extra care.
Do you have an alternate name, and how do you use it?

Anyone can learn from the practices that the best leaders use to make their companies great, but it's also valuable to look at what they don't do.
"Slowly but surely, getting bogged down in the wrong tasks will bring down even the strongest executives," says Jim Alampi, CEO of Alampi & Associates, a Detroit-based leadership firm that has worked with Deloitte, Exxon Mobile, and IBM.
In his 30 years working with leaders in businesses of all sizes, he's found that the most successful are those who maximize efficiency and waste as little time as possible.
According to Alampi, the best CEOs do not:
Wear many hats
Great CEOs do not involve themselves in the nitty-gritty of their companies, but rather groom employees for leadership positions in every division.
"Smart CEOs do not build their companies around any one individual," Alampi says. "They know they have to 'delegate or die.'"
Make perfect decisions
"A key to success is taking action and not deferring it until the perfect answer or complete consensus is achieved," Alampi says. An executive afraid of risk or criticism will only hold the company back. As Gen. George S. Patton said: "A good plan executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week."
Answer every question
A CEO is responsible for setting the direction of the company and hiring and retaining the best people to see that vision implemented. They are not, however, responsible for decisions that don't have a significant effect on the company.
"As an executive, if you allow your employees to ask you questions every time they don't know the answer, you'll end up spending a chunk of your day doing your employees' work for them," Alampi says. "Plus, having your employees find the answers themselves allows them to grow and become leaders themselves."
Attend many meetings
"You'd be shocked by how many meetings some executives attend that result in low-level content," Alampi says. Effective executives usually prefer five-minute briefings to 60-minute meetings. That said, knowing which meetings to attend for the sake of the company's overall direction is a vital skill to learn.
Limit communication
Avoiding long meetings and low-level questions does not mean efficient CEOs shut themselves off from employees. Instead, they make an effort to drive home everything they'd like to communicate to their employees.
"Providing the same information via different channels increases the likelihood that employees will actually remember what you tell them," Alampi says.

A New Life, Bernard Malamud, Farrar Strauss and Cudahy, 1961, 367 pp
Having now read the first three of Bernard Malamud's eight novels, I am less than halfway to knowing him as a novelist. Already I have developed a strong affinity for him. He is drawn to creating stories of how men acquire wisdom through suffering, also a major concern of my father's, and you could say I was raised within a Christian interpretation of that theme. Malamud's was a Jewish viewpoint but I have been surrounded by Jewish people all of my life. It all adds up to feeling comfortable with Malamud.
Not that his protagonists are ever comfortable. They suffer, they have a lack of luck in life and a tendency to dither about most things. S Levin, a thirty year old teacher from New York City with a past soiled by excessive drinking, has been hired as an instructor at a small private college in the Northwest.
Levin sees the new job as a chance to start over and make something of his life. Though he has given up alcohol, he still harbors the traits that drove him to drink. Before long he has made enemies on campus and fallen into a relationship with the wife of his immediate superior.
The sense of impending doom begins in Chapter One and continues up to Levin's decisions and actions in the final chapter. Since the reader does not know the outcome of those decisions and actions, I felt he was most likely still doomed. Malamud's particular genius is to keep the reader hoping for Levin's success despite every wrong move he makes. Exquisitely torturous, as any good novel should be, but so close to the human condition where now and then a guy gets a break.
I have read a good share of campus novels, of which A New Life is one. A college or university setting provides a good microcosm and I suspect Malamud had read some campus novels himself because he covers the major tropes of professional conflict, intellectual competition, town vs gown, and the insularity that leads to immorality amongst the professors, students, and locals.
He covers a broader array of life than he did in The Natural or The Assistant. That may be because of the woods and fields surrounding his fictional Oregon town and the range of issues both personal and political that Levin confronts. Though he writes with a less precise focus than the troubles of a ball player or a struggling small shopkeeper in a big city, A New Life is an expansion into bigger questions of what make a whole life successful.

Metta is a word in Pali to mean loving kindness. When we live on this planet, we also live with other living beings beside human beings. These living beings have the equal right to co-exist and live amongst us. Hence, we should show compassion to other living beings whose lives can just be taken away so easily by us, human beings.
Giving metta to all living beings is a blessing. May you be well and happy always.

Thursday It List and New Year Album Review
See, it's all about standards with The Kadanes. Recording in studios that don't suck with people that aren't stupid. I know, I know. Hard to imagine in today's musical landscape, where every decision is made at light-speed and the results are worried about later. No violated design principles on their minimalist cover art. One of them (Bubba) has even spent a lot of time poring over details in the only local yet nationally reputable cd manufacturer that I know of, to prevent you, bands and artists, from cutting corners and making mistakes. They have never employed the lowest common denominator tactics of so many lesser artists, which is a rare thing indeed. I'm a huge proponent of spontaneity and intentional amateurism, but there is something to be said for such a flawless discipline and work ethic.
What I'm getting at is that the Kadane Brothers are just giving us more of the same on their new New Year record, "The New Year," and when you consider that the two have spent so many years displaying such intelligence and excellence in so many variations on a theme, this is not at all a bad thing. I've heard so much hype about this being "the piano record" or something to that effect, and if that hadn't been mentioned so many times I probably wouldn't have even noticed. They have employed piano before, most famously on "The End Is Near," and have been using keyboards for at least a decade. So what's the big deal? I was actually expecting to hear ALL piano songs, with layered pianos for the big buildups, which is something I don't think I'd mind hearing them try.
But on just about every song you can point to other similar moments in their catalog, or at least a vague precedent that has already been established. If anything, the lone surprise here might be that there are more similarities to Bedhead than on the previous two New Year records, which isn't really much of a statement. It's like being surprised that Lou Reed solo records sometimes sounded like VU. For instance, album opener "Folios" possesses the same tense and repetitive snare hits used to close out "The Rest Of The Day," with chord changes and keyboard sounds very close to the track "The Present," a fan-favorite from Bedhead's triumphant career-closer "Transaction De Novo." Upon noticing the similarities, I had a good feeling this was going to be a winner from hearing the first track alone.
Elsewhere we find The New Year showing off their ability to do slow, almost country-like balladry far better than the legions that struggle to mine gold, or at least tolerable records out of that largely bankrupt territory. But they have done this at least as far back as "Any Life" from the "Dark Ages EP." The anti-rock found on "Wages Of Sleep" in the form of interwoven guitars and lack of back-beat is another facet of the Kadane sound, a reminder of the old art-world saying "Style is everything you do wrong."
There is, of course, a difference between the Kadanes' two projects, and this is largely attributed to The New Year's extended family of celebrated musicians, especially the recent announcement of Centromatic's Will Johnson joining the touring lineup. The fact that I'm not particularly a fan of Will Johnson, or even Peter Schmidt for that matter, but STILL probably won't mind hearing them tonight is just further testament to the Kadane's ability to improve everything around them. The New Year has often been compared to label-mates Silkworm for their more straightforward rock tendencies, and there is room for that comparison on the final track, "The Idea Of You," with its crunching guitar and keyboard combo. This is a logical and almost obvious comparison since Matt Kadane played some fairly raunchy organ parts on the last couple of Silkworm records, so it's safe to say it's a mutual influence. The Kadanes have also written shorter, up-tempo songs for most of their career, and it's hard to pin them down sonically, other than they seem to excel at whatever they choose to do. This record is proof of all these various abilities in one concise statement, and it could very well be my favorite of The New Year records so far.
When discussing the new album the other day, I realized that I've heard people complain about the "sameness" of The Kadane Brothers' output for over ten years now. Viewed from this perspective, the overall cohesiveness of their life's work is really something to marvel at, or as Wildcat said to me recently (paraphrasing), "their entire career is a concept." Despite the fact that they are still tragically underrated in their hometown, we should all hope that Dallas will eventually have another band that we can be equally proud of, at least in our lifetimes.

I have already used these pages to spell out the advantages and disadvantages of multi-sourcing in light of changes to the way contracts were being sourced, following the decline in 'mega-deals' and the government's £100 million contract cap.
It seems that the piece I wrote last August was, if I do say so myself, eerily prescient, as in the time that's passed since then we've seen significant changes to the way many organisations have approached outsourcing contracts, with multi-sourcing one of the key drivers.
In that time, we've seen suppliers making significant strides towards jumping onto the multi-sourcing bandwagon. But how prepared are the end-users?
Multi-sourcing is, of course, the process of outsourcing to multiple service providers instead of one, and there seems little doubt that suppliers have looked to prepare themselves for what many forecast as a significant drive towards this model.
Perhaps one of the key factors behind this has been the government's decision to open up the procurement process and move their focus away from larger, more established (and expensive) providers.
Clearly, the public sector feels, as do those in the private sector, that by using a number of suppliers instead of A larger contract with one supplier they can benefit from the niche, specialised services on offer and gain cost efficiencies.
I don't think it's any coincidence that we're seeing a significant number of aggressive acquisitions from larger organisations which are keen to expand their offerings and global footprint in a number of different markets.
In recent times we've seen acquisitions from Capita (which purchased Bristol-based Call Centre Technology), Serco (which has acquired Indian Global Services provider Intelenet) and CSC (which has agreed to acquire iSOFT), each of which seems aimed at increasing the client base of the respective organisations, and also allowing them to diversify their offerings.
However, if the recent spate of acquisitions really is going to result in a new wave of multi-sourced contracts to replace mega-deals, then perhaps it's worth asking whether or not end-users are armed with the right level of knowledge to make sure these deals are successful?
After all, managing a number of smaller, niche suppliers can be a very different undertaking to managing one. Indeed, it can be a real juggling act to ensure that each of your suppliers is meeting your expectations, and requires entirely different management skills.
Deciding to use a system of multi-sourcing is one thing - but do end users have the right skill set to achieve the right results?
If you'd like to hear more about multi-sourcing, and how it could benefit your organisation, then why not come to the EOA Summit in Madrid on 20th and 21st June? We'll have a host of guest speakers, all of whom will be available to answer your questions on multi-sourcing and any other aspect of outsourcing you care to mention. For more details, please contact the EOA team on +44 (0)20 7292 8686 or email: [email protected]

Vim (Vi IMProved), is a text editor derived from Vi. It's notoriously known for its steep learning curve, and user unfriendly interface. However, because of it's efficiently, variety of plugins, and customization options vim is one of the most popular text editors for programmers and *nix users (along with Emacs*). A graphical version gVim which provides a user with menus is also available.
*Note that The Cult of Vi has determined that using emacs may cause dry mouth, blurred vision, drowsiness, dizziness, profuse sweating, tremors, sexual problems, headache, nausea and abdominal pain.

- vim depends on vi, so that must be installed first. However, since vi is part of the base installation most users should already have it.
pacman -S vim
vim's configuation file is in a user's home directy (~/) and is named .vimrc. A sample .vimrc can be found in /etc/vimrc.
"Sample .vimrc set nocompatible set showmatch set incsearch set ignorecase set smartcase set history=100 set backspace=eol,start,indent set ruler set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 set expandtab set virtualedit=all set background=dark set vb t_vg= set mouse=v set textwidth=79 set formatoptions=tcrq
- To install gvim (Just like vim but with gtk2 interface and listens to /etc/gvimrc and ~/.gvimrc)
pacman -S gvim
- There is also a group of selected popular vim scripts available via pacman
pacman -S vim-plugins
VIM quick start guide
How to start vim
- to start vim and edit a file (new or existing)
vim 'filename
- to start vim and open a new file
(You may name your file later when you save it.)
How to enter text
If this is one of the first few times you use vim, perhaps you're wondering why you cannot type in anything. This is because you're in command mode. In command mode, your key strokes are interpreted as editing commands. To begin typing new text into the file, you need to switch to insert mode by press i. Then you can see each character you type appears on the screen.
The two basic modes of vim are.
- Insert mode, in which anything you type (except some special keys) will appear on the screen and become part of your file buffer
- Command mode, in which your key strokes are interpreted as commands.
After you start vim, you're in command mode.
- Switch between modes
1. From command mode to insert mode, press
2. from insert mode to command mode, press ESC
How to move the cursor
In both the command mode and the insert mode, you may always use the arrow keys to move the cursor, and with gvim you can mouse click to get to a new position. However, this is not the vim way. If you do that, you're not using vim, you're using notepad. If you want to call yourself a vi guy, forget about the arrow keys, backspace, delete, insert, ... and of course, the mouse. The most effective way of moving the cursor is first go to the command mode by pressing ESC and then use vim's cursor-moving commands to move around. The 4 basic commands are
- j move down one line
- k move up one line
- h move left one character
- l move right one character
Remember: these commands work only in command mode. At first you may feel a bit uncomfortable. After you get familiar using these commands you will stick to them and forget the arrow keys.
How to delete text
First I will tell you that the DELETE key always works, and the BACKSPACE key works with the newly typed text in the insert mode. However, I suggest you do not use them. Instead, force yourself to use vim's deletion commands.
1. Make sure you are in command mode by press ESC
2. move the cursor to the character you want to delete
3. press x , this character disappears
x is just one of the many powerful deletion commands. Usually you need to move the cursor to the character you want to delete and then press x to remove it. Remember using the cursor motion commands j k h l to locate your target, and don't leave the command mode.
How to insert text
1. In command mode, move the cursor to the desired location
2. press i, then you are in insert mode and can type in whatever you like.
How to COPY, CUT and PASTE
If you run the GUI version of vim, gvim, you can use mouse and the pull-down menus to do that---the same fashion with other editors. However, that is not the preferred style. You'll feel better off if you can live without a mouse.
1. Enter the command mode by pressing ESC
2. Move the cursor to the line which you want to make a copy, by pressing j or k
3. press
to make a copy of the line, or
to cut it and make a copy
4. now move cursor (by pressing k or j) to the the location where you want to put this copy
5. press
to put the buffer after current line, or
to put the buffer before current line
If you want to copy or cut several lines, put a number before the yy or dd command, like
to copy 8 lines.
How to search for a word
Suppose you want to find all the words apple in your file
1. Make sure you are in command mode by hitting ESC
2. type
followed by ENTER to find an occurrence of apple. When you type the slash, it and the following characters will be shown on the bottom of the screen. After you press ENTER, the cursor will go to the first occurrence of apple if found, and the target will be highlighted.
3. after you got the first apple, you can keep typing
to find other apples
How to substitute text
First make sure you're in command mode by pressing ESC.
- replace first occurrence of old in current line with new
- replace all occurrence of old in current line with new
- replace the first occurrence of old in each line between line n1 and n2 with new
- replace all occurrence of oldbetween line n1 and n2 with new
- replace all occurrence of old in the whole buffer with new, prompt for confirmation.
- replace all occurrence of old in the whole buffer with new, prompt for confirmation.
How to exit vim
- To save and exit: press ESC to enter command mode, then:
- save your file as newname before you exit: press ESC, then type
:wq newname
- Exit without saving, press ESC, then type
- Forced quit
If :q doesn't work, it's probably because you didn't save the change. If you want to save, use :wq. If you don't want to save the changes, type

"When life gets tough, remember you are tougher."
This is officially my third week at my new job and today is the day I finally received my first pay cheque from my new company. One of the happiest thing happening to me in the month of April.
Then I thought of the past 4 months. I could not remember when was the last time I have felt the same happiness, even when it was pay day. Whenever I thought of this, I feel really glad that I have made the right decision a month ago.
That was to hand in my letter of resignation. It was a tough decision. Between money and happiness, what would you choose? It took me months of struggle and finally, I chose happiness.
I am thankful that luck fell upon me at the moment I decided to resign. To be offered a new job which I am very glad that I accepted. I met a couple of awesome colleagues and a great and understanding boss. I hope this would be the place where I could stay till the day I retire.
I am looking for a perfect life. But I have no idea what is a perfect life. Some people have told me that my life seems to be so prefect. But I do not think so. I am never satisfied with my life or stop pursuing for a better future. Slowing my pace down makes me feel afraid. However, at the same time, I have never truly feel happiness for once.
"Then I realized if I wanted to find happiness, I have to understand that the perfect life does not exist."
Even though slowing down my pace makes me feels afraid, I have been trying to stop 'forcing' things to happen. To lead a simple and contented life. This is my new year resolution for this year.
I slowed down my pace of life and started to notice things which I have all along been left unnoticed by many others.
The electricity transmission towers! Recently, I found myself falling in love with these pylon towers, so much so that I just could not stop taking photos of them.
My life has been extremely monotonous for the past few months. Having relocated to Kuala Lumpur about 6 months ago, my life typically revolves just around home and work. My weekends are rather routine where I usually spend most of the days at home. It's pretty sad sometimes when I looked back at the past 6 months of my life. It seems that I am just wasting my youth away.
So, do I miss Singapore? Yes I did. I miss the weekeds where I get to put on some makeup, dress up and spend the day with my friends or my husband. Since I moved to Kuala Lumpur, I did not really have the chance of putting on any makeup or dress up for a day anymore.
I have been wanting to explore Kuala Lumpur more. But travelling around has been so inconvenient without a car. I hope I could get my husband to drive me around more when he is finally back from Penang.
Even so, I still managed to catch a glimpse of the iconic KLCC. All thanks to my company where its office is conveniently located near the KLCC. Indeed, it is impressive, but I believe Kuala Lumpur is not just about the KLCC. It is the vibrant culture of the city which I would love to see. Preferably things which I am unable to find in Singapore.
Other than that, I have been wanting to travel to as many countries as possible. It has always been my dream to see more of the world. Travelling is not just about relaxation, but rather a time to broaden your horizons.
"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy."
I always love the sunset. The mix of the red, orange and yellow never fails to bring a smile onto my face. These are simple little things that has made my week great. To some people, these may be nothing. But to me, it helped me to find some meaning for my routine life. A meaning that kept me strong and work hard towards my goals.
Even though I understand that the perfect life does not exist, having goals will create a difference in my life.

Thanksgiving gifts Ideas
If you are headed over the river and through the woods to a Thanksgiving dinner and are looking for some Thanksgiving gift ideas so you don't arrive empty handed, Think flowers Providing a tasteful gift to the host or hostess is a tradition as old as the holiday itself. Whether you are headed home for the holiday or enjoying a bountiful meal at a friend's house, you want a gift that will be both beautiful and useful.
If you are tired of the same old hostess gifts, consider giving the gift of fresh flowers this year. There are many reasons why flowers make the perfect gift for the Thanksgiving holiday, and your hosts are sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness and creativity.
Brighten Up the Cold
One of the best things about giving fresh flowers for the holiday is that they bring a touch of greenery and a taste of spring to what is a cold time of year in many parts of the country. If you are lucky enough to live in Florida or Southern California, you might forget that a winter snowstorm is raging outside. If your Thanksgiving dinner is taking place anywhere else, chances are your hosts will appreciate a touch of color when you arrive.
Bringing fresh flowers to the Thanksgiving feast is like giving the gift of springtime, and who wouldn't want that? No matter what kind of flowers you choose or what type of arrangement you favor, fresh flowers are a welcome gift at this special time of year.
Your Host Gets an Instant Centerpiece
Being invited to Thanksgiving dinner is an honor in more ways than one. When you host the feast, you have a big job ahead of you. Thanksgiving hosts have to create a feast worthy of royalty while making sure that all the dishes emerge from the oven at precisely the right time. As the guest, your only job is to enjoy the results of all that hard work -- and bring a heartfelt gift.
When you choose fresh flowers, you give the gift of beauty and summer charm. All you need to do is add a vase and you have an instant centerpiece. Your Thanksgiving day host or hostess has been spending all day in the kitchen. Decorating the table may be the furthest thing from their minds, but you can lift that burden with a bouquet of fresh flowers.
Show How Much You Care
Finding a thoughtful gift for your loved ones is not always easy, but flowers are always a welcome sight. Giving the gift of fresh flowers shows your thoughtfulness and creativity like nothing else. You can bring a taste of warmer weather into the home, create a tasteful centerpiece and show off your style, all with a handful of fresh flowers.
Whether you are headed across town or across the country, flowers make the perfect gift for the people you are visiting. It can be hard to find a gift that is suitable for the Thanksgiving holiday, but the gift of fresh flowers is sure to be well received.
Flowers go with everything, and they match any decorating theme. Whether you choose a bouquet of colorful roses, a tray of fresh lilacs or an array of geraniums, you will brighten up the home you are visiting and give your Thanksgiving day hosts a gift they will appreciate and put to use.

Animal Harbor Announces that Construction Has Begun!
Posted by Patricia Thompson on Wednesday, January 29, 2014
Animal Harbor's new facility is underway at the new location on AEDC Road/Hwy. 127, a mile down on the right from intersection of Hwy. 127 and Hwy. 41 in Decherd. Gail Castle, Animal Harbor's Development Officer, states, "All of us at Animal Harbor are so grateful for everyone who came out to the groundbreaking celebration this last summer and for all of the support received to date from the people and businesses of Franklin County. Without it, we would not be able to start construction. Winters are so hard on our animals and staff at the shelter, and to think that we will not have to spend another winter in the current facility is an amazing dream coming true."
The current facility has no climate control in the dog kennel area. The time and energy spent dealing with the problems and challenges this causes drains resources that could be utilized in taking care of the animals and getting them ready to be adopted and disease free. Castle continues, "We have raised $390,000 in pledges/donations which is 65% of the total goal of $600,000. We will be working hard in 2014 with fundraising events and asking for your support so that we can continue to get closer to the overall goal. This is a facility that will serve all of Franklin County and we ask everyone to join together in helping us complete this project."

If you do not remember the face or the name, you will certainly remember some of the headlines from the late 1980s when John Cappas was the flashy embodiment of all that was the cocaine culture.
John Cappas is older now (43), a bit heavier than in his wrestling-martial arts practicing prime, a great deal more humble, and more than a bit contrite. Fifteen years in prison will do that to a guy.
He tells his story in a new book, "Tall Money," self-written, self-published and surprisingly self-aware.
The book's title comes from something one of his lawyers said in response to a question about how much dough Cappas was making in the old days. Before he turned 20, he...

President Donald Trump's most memorable tweets in 2018!
The president sent more than 3,400 tweets this year — an average of nearly 10 tweets a day, and a sizable increase from Trump's first year in office.
President Donald Trump's Twitter habit grew even more prolific in 2018.
Trump sent more than 3,400 tweets this year — an average of nearly 10 tweets a day, and a sizable increase from the president's first year in office, according to data collected by the Trump Twitter Archive and reviewed by CNBC.
And despite the seemingly constant din of news bombshells breaking around his White House this year, Trump became even more reliant on Twitter as the primary means of communication for both his administration and himself.
Secret Author of 'Trump Tower'
I remember first time when I had seen Donald Trump's books list in wikipdia, 'Trump Tower' was part of Donald's bibliography, but second time when I saw it, 'Trump Tower' novel was removed from Trump's writtens. Copy of 'Trump Tower' is in my Amazon Kindle now and before I start reading it, I wanted to know is it Donald Trump's intellectual property or not, here you can read what I find about this glamorous book:
Speculation is rife that Trump Tower was penned by The Donald himself, despite being credited to author Jeffrey Robinson, pictured (right) is original cover and (left) the final version.
The agent for Jeffrey Robinson, when contacted by DailyMail.com refused to say who wrote the book.
Speaking on behalf of Mr Robinson, his agent LN Fowler said: 'Jeffrey would be happy discuss the novel with you after the election'.
Who won the third presidential debate on social media?
Wednesday night marked the end of the presidential debate season, but there were probably enough verbal jabs that will live in the memory of voters until Nov. 8 when American voters cast their ballots to elect the 45th president of the United States.
As was the case in the last two debates, GOP nominee Donald Trump generated the most activity on Twitter — @realDonaldTrump was the focus of 59 percent of #debate conversation compared to @HillaryClinton's 41 percent. He also beat out Clinton for the top retweet of the debate, and it wasn't even a tweet that originated during the debate, during the day Wednesday, or even during the year 2016.
We installed 'Read It Leater' plugin on our web!
When you open any article on 45thuspresident, you can click on 'Read It Leater ' button, It you can find on top of article and under the title of article! Now you can choose news, whick is most interesting for you and add it in your https://getpocket.com account after simple registration on getpocket.
What is 'Read It Leater?' Pocket, previously known as Read It Later, is an application and service for managing a reading list of articles from the Internet.

Ray Allen will be back with the Miami Heat for the 2013-14 season. The Heat announced Friday afternoon that Allen exercised his player option for next season, choosing to stay in Miami for the final season of the two-year deal he signed last summer.
The 17-year veteran was a key player off the bench for Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, and hit perhaps the biggest shot in franchise history when he made a game-tying three-pointer with five seconds remaining in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
The shot forced overtime, just as it seemed like the Heat would fall to the San Antonio Spurs in their quest to repeat as NBA champions. Miami won in overtime, setting up the decisive Game 7 in Miami two nights later.
"I have to say that is the biggest shot I ever hit in my career," Allen said after the NBA Finals.
Allen appeared in 79 games during the regular season, the first of his career in which he did not log a single start. He shot 45%, including a stellar 42% from three-point range. He average 10.9 points per game with 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists.
In the playoffs, Allen logged 25 minutes per game, averaging 10.2 points and shooting 41% from downtown.
No one in NBA history has made more career three-pointers than Allen. He surpassed Reggie Miller's career playoff three-pointer record during the Heat's championship run.
Allen's contract calls for him to make $3.23 million next season.
With Allen, Rashard Lewis, and James Jones exercising player options, and the Heat exercising a team option for Mario Chalmers this week, the only major contributor from the Heat's championship run that remains unsigned is center Chris "Birdman" Andersen.

We all knew Konami wasn't going to let Metal Gear gather dust after the departure of Hideo Kojima. Konami is currently developing a new Metal Gear game called Metal Gear Survive.
It promises "a unique blend of stealth and co-op play mechanics" and will essentially be a survival game, only with added gears and metal. The game's already got its first trailer. It's after the jump.
According to the press blurb, Metal Gear Survive is set after the events of MGS V: Ground Zeroes, only in an "alternate timeline", because wormholes and science.
"Players find themselves on distorted desert landscapes full of massive half-formed structures, living biological threats, and the remains of a once strong military force now litter the landscape.
In a struggle to stay alive on this harsh terrain filled with deadly creatures, soldiers who were previously on Mother Base now must work cooperatively in order to survive. METAL GEAR SURVIVE continues the pedigree of METAL GEAR SOLID V's highly praised gameplay design, with a unique blend of stealth and co-op play mechanics. Players can strategically manage massive threats with the help of 4-player online cooperative play. New weaponry will also be introduced to combat charging creatures and lethal environments as well."
Judging by all the hate already plaguing the announcement, fans don't seem too happy with the new, Kojima-less game. Fans of Kojima's work should at least be happy to know he's still developing games at his own studio.
Metal Gear Survive will be out sometime in 2017, making its way to PC, PS4 and XBO.

Step One
1) Round up the artwork: "Artwork" can be anything from photography, to magazine tear sheets, vintage posters, hand drawings, Picasso prints, portraits, namely anything that tickles your fancy and can be mounted on the wall. They don't even have to be framed as you can easily incorporate an assortment of "art" like wall clocks, found objects, even patterned textiles for an eclectic mix. But for the sake of this post, we'll stick to the 2D variety.
Step Two
2) If you're working with unframed art and have trouble deciding how to matte them and what colors to frame them with, I like to stick to a simple 3 color rule of thumb. Decide on the color story and follow the hues for a coordinated mix. White mats always look chic with any color frame and allows the artwork to speak for themselves without any distractions. Matte the pieces you feel needs a bit of substantial weight, usually the smaller images (11×14 and lower) look great with that sizable frame within the frame. The pieces that are saturated in color I usually leave alone without any matting.
Step Three
3) Consider your wall color and think either high contrast, monochromatic, or a mixture of the two. You may want to layer light frames + light matting on a white wall for a neutral look or you may want to keep the focus on the artwork and choose to install light images on a dark wall instead. I love how Erika from Small Shop styled 2 different vignettes based on the exact same feature wall in her studio above. One was a fresh and feminine pink+gold+white color story and the other a sexy rocker look with a black+white+red color story. Same wall, totally different vibe. Allow your mood to dictate the emphasis and go with what "feels" right for your space.
{Above: iPhone shots from a gallery wall I installed at my client's home}
Step Four
4) Now for the installation: Create a grid on the floor before you commit to hanging on the wall. Lay out all the pieces side by side, mixed and matched; that way you can move them around until you get the look you desire. They don't need to line up by frame or size, the more "undesigned" and "random" the placement, the more casual the gallery will look and feel. Since this gallery wall above featured just a few pieces (less than 10) I chose to keep the look streamlined by designating a central vertical line to weigh out the larger pieces (left) versus the smaller pieces (right). Symmetry allows the viewer to see a balance of objects, where there might have been none otherwise.
Step 5
5) If you're starting with just a few key pieces as opposed to a full-blown art gallery, I like to install them on the feature wall starting from the center. Create an invisible center line, whether vertical or horizontal and start hanging the key pieces you love most and spread them out from there. You can start with the larger pieces in the central most area and have the smaller fanning out or larger pieces at the bottom edge of the wall (above furniture where applicable) and hang the smaller pieces from that starting point.
Styling Tips
The best gallery walls take into consideration color, scale, proportion, and balance. Some of the key elements of design, allow yourself to grow with your art pieces and you'll have that gallery all your friends are ogling. In the living room, dining room, or even the stairwell, get creative and most importantly HAVE FUN with it! You'll find the fun is really relegated to the process, once you're done you'll be rearranging it in no time at all!
Hope that helps my loves!
Please comment below if you have any design questions you'd like to get answered! I'll do my very best to get them resolved in a future blog post, on my Facebook page, or on Instagram!
Thanks for reading!

I Thought IHOP Had More Syrup Flavors
by Pia Ehrhardt
At our lunch this week I talk to my father about teaching to keep him at arm's length. He's a music professor. I'm in graduate school. The college is across the street from IHOP. I say I'm worried my knowledge is a mile wide and an inch thick. How will I answer their questions. He's staying on track, paternal, encouraging, says I won't begin learning until I get in front of a class.
I don't have my husband to hold in front as my shield, because Clay left ten days ago. When I told my father at last week's lunch, his hug goodbye in the parking lot was too long. "Welcome back," he'd said. He's so easy to encourage. When I was young, I would break up with boyfriends, sometimes, just for him. It was my gift. He dropped what he was doing to give me help. He'd tell me love was easy to get over, and there was more of it, even better, around the bend. He was happy like that, swooping in like some falcon, to sit on my leather-aproned arm. He'd take me out for Baskin-Robbins, or we'd sit in the kitchen and play gin rummy until late.
I thought IHOP had a peaked roof, like a Bavarian cottage. I'm sure it used to. Seventeen years ago, when Clay and I were in college, we'd come here to study. You could drink coffee all night, fool yourself into thinking you'd slept by eating Belgian waffles. There were menu items from the countries we dreamed we'd visit. Booth travel. I loved that. The seats were turquoise vinyl. Now they're upholstered. The ceiling's flat, floated low with water-stained tiles.
My father looks at me over the shiny menu, says, "The best question I ever got was from a woman in my counterpoint class - Didn't I think music written by men imitated male coitus?"
The waitress has walked up and wants us to order. He gets grilled chicken on a bun and I just want coffee.
"The next day I told her, well, yes --." He's making orgasm spikes with his hands, diagramming Brahms, Prokofiev, rising action, climax, falling action, talking loud. For the life of me I can't decide if this okay.
I thought IHOP played music from around the world. Polkas and yodel songs, pretty Irish tunes. Now it's just the radio through fuzzy speakers. My father asks our waitress to turn the volume down, but she points at the other diners, says, "Can't."
There's a guy in the next booth wearing a flannel shirt over a faded T-shirt, staring. He thinks this older guy is with his girlfriend. I wish I could tell him different, but I'm not so sure.
Orgasms aren't some abstraction any more, like when my father brought me in his study twenty years ago to explain this inexplicable thing between men and women. Now, I know. I could argue Satie and Debussy, show him how their music moves like a woman's orgasms, like mine, but there's not enough room in the booth for me to spread wide my arms. I'd like a gust of wind to lift me out of here into the apartment where Clay's living. I miss him. I wish we could meet for sex, tonight, so everything doesn't have to stop at once.
I'm wearing dark lipstick I put on at the red light. As soon as the food comes I'm wiping it off.
The tabletops in here used to be sticky. The waitresses wore orange dirndl skirts.
This summer Clay and I traveled to Austria, France, and Belgium. We ate our weight in blintzes, crepes, waffles, drank coffee eight times a day. We should have gone to fewer cities and taken trains. There were vicious fights that felt like someone else's, in rental cars, over wrong turns, near collisions, going too slow on the Autobahn. The elegant navy sedans that blew by us made things worse. In France, Clay went down a too narrow street and the rear view mirror on my side hit a big green recycling dumpster. I screamed, covered my face. He got out of the car and checked. He pushed the mirror back into place, said no damage done. He got back in and drove and let me cry without once touching my arm.
The people in the corner by the cash register are talking about something comfortable. After my father's gone, I want to come back into IHOP, sit at their table and order silver dollar pancakes.
I tell my father I've screwed things up with Clay good; I want to work this out. He looks down at his plate and picks out broken ends of French fries. I feel bad for him so I give him a job. I talk about quiet music. I've been listening to Arvo Part's choral pieces. The surface is so still. He leans in, employed, and says, "Try Palestrina! Lovely!" His eyes are light blue. I believe him like I hope some kid will believe me. Medieval music. Wandering modality. Sacred texts.
My cell phone is on silent ring and it buzzes in my lap. Be Clay. I left a message for him this morning, some fake concern so we will talk.
Lunch has to be over in fifteen minutes because he has class and he's checking his watch often because he's never late.
I thought this place had strawberry syrup. And boysenberry. I remember half a dozen syrups on a lazy Susan, and you could buy miniatures of them for the pancakes you meant to make at home.
He walks me out and puts his arm around my shoulder. I grab one finger on his hand. I realize what I've done. I've confused him with just a father, but it feels nice, and embarrassing, this mistake, to touch this man by accident.

It was when I was recently departing from Nick Harding's office at Praesepe in Milton Keynes, UK, that I noticed the old Jennings Indian Head bench-type slot machine on display. It brought back memories.
I made the point: "Do you know, I really believe that if that was put into a club location today it would still take good money…" Nick, a highly-skilled operator, did not disagree.
I can remember George Coughtrey, a Nottingham-based machine distributor, who handled Jennings in the old semi-legal days of around 1960. He had hundreds of them going out into clubs where they made fortunes. Players loved the "feel" they got from pulling a handle; they were convinced that the manner in which they pulled the lever had an influence over the outcome.
They also loved the visible dropping jackpot… A little reservoir of old one shilling coins with a glass cover. Get the reel symbols aligned and down would come the coins in a cascade and you'd have to buy a round for everyone in the place.
Great days; great machines. But would they compete with a Category B3A (I think that's right) - what we used to simply call a club machine, that was available to patrons in a private club, which could be a political or sporting club, ex-servicemen's club, miner's club, or any other club where you have to be a member to enter.
Well, would they compete? How would they fare against all of the technological bells and whistles that a modern club machine can seduce you with - its lights, sound effects and challenges?
I would like to think that the simplicity of those old machines, their ability to give you a buzz without having to think too hard about it as you go and their readiness to accept the casual coin in your pocket, all for the siren lure of that visible dropping jackpot, would still do well.
Give me handles before buttons any day. But then, I am old…

this week: sydney beaches
1. a flock of seagulls flying over while we were shooting a campaign for 3inch fashion. 2. behind the scenes of dan filming megan. 3. a lady sitting next to us. i snapped this photo while lidija was doing megan's makeup, the lady was drawing everyone she saw on the beach and writing little paragraphs. maybe she made up a story for each stranger she saw, i never asked but i thought i'd take a picture of the watcher. 4. picking up seashells in between photos. 5. my beautiful, ever changing office for one of the days this week. 6. in the studio photographing sian for the 3inch fashion lookbook. 7. beautiful jewellery from mallow & thyme finding their way in the mail to me.
sometimes i dream of living in europe. in a little wooden cabin lost somewhere in the tall forest of pine trees. life would be simple. we'd watch the snow fall through the window in the winter and the wild deer run through in the spring. weeks like this though remind me how beautiful sydney is and today i am happy living here and being able to call these endless cliffs and angry oceans my home. my week started off in the countryside, where i wandered with my clients through the fields in the rain and fog filming and taking pictures. after a quiet start, everything changed pace when i spent two days shooting in busy sydney for 3inch fashion. we spent one day photographing their lookbook in the studio and the second day on location for the campaign. i was shooting with megan as i have many times before. every time i shoot with her it reminds me why i love what i do so much, everything is fun and free, so much movement and nothing feels like work. we just have fun taking pictures.
the rest of my week was spent at christmas parties with fellow photographers, doing some christmas shopping and catching up on what feels like a million and one things to edit. oh, not to mention i planned a few last minute shoots that will be simple but beautiful. i am itching to shoot a few personal projects before the end of the year so i thought now is a good time as any!

Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella Birth Control Product Liability
To date there have been more than 50 deaths directly related to Yaz and Yasmin birth control. The number of product liability and wrongful death lawsuits being filed against Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals has grown increasingly since the FDA ordered the company to spend over 20 million dollars on a corrective advertising campaign.

These advertisements stated that the birth control pills Yaz and Yasmin would not only perform the task of birth control but also help get rid of pimples or facial acne, as well as ease or even get rid of many symptoms of PMS.
These statements were unproven and not approved by the FDA.
Lawsuits have been filed based on such serious and life threatening side effects such as:
- Sudden Death
- Heart Attacks
- Strokes
- Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Self-proclaim a scavenger hunt on the Disney Cruise Line brand-new ship called Fantasy when you sail from Port Canaveral, Florida.
Or play I Spy all around the 14 decks. Art is the search, and much is enchanted on this squeaky-clean, fresh-from-the-shipbuilder vessel.
The 3,999 other passengers might be looking too, and art is abundant.
Favorite sightings for me happened on every stairway. Fantasy cruise decks are tall so stairs have a spacious landing half-way up and down, just right for looking at art and not blocking others.
Pencil sketches some of them, maybe by Walt Disney himself. The "Miscellaneous Fish for Pinocchio Under the Sea" was dated 12-6-38. How exciting.
"Sea Horses Pinocchio, Sequence 10" is dated 8-12-39. For me, this historic art tied the splendor of a sparkly 2012 ship to the philosophies, animation and delights of the founder.
In fact, be on the lookout for the black and white photo of Walt Disney with his sketchpad because Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald seem to spring from the paper as he draws animations.
Enchanted this art on the Fantasy. At least 20 paintings, drawings and posters came alive when I stood before them, and not always in the same way on a second visit.
Alice in Wonderland is one, and so are Dumbo and Timothy Q. Mouse in circus art posters.
At least 14 other pieces of enchanted art provide clues for the Midship Detective Agency game, totally fun for all ages, solo or together.
Computer interactive kiosks provide the tools and cruisers solve the mysteries, like the "Case of the Muppets Missing Show."
A map shows the general location of paintings that come alive with clues on nine decks when detectives stand on the brass plate in front of them.
Play more than once because random events and multiple endings keep animated fun popping.
My own sketch at dinner morphed from amateur drawing to big-screen movie with my name in the credits. Now that's a heady experience and it happens in the restaurant named Animator's Palate.
Happens for everyone with a little pixie dust to help and here's how. Sit to dinner with family and friends; find a simple paper template at every place.
Color in clothes, hair, and faces and sign your name. Exchange it with your server for a bowl of creamy corn soup with caramel popcorn and cornbread and then perhaps a lobster or fine steak.
By desert time, chocolate lava cake for me, the lights dimmed and everybody's drawings—now animated—marched across screens filling all the walls.
Mickey Mouse led our drawings in increasingly more elaborate skips, jumps and dances, eventually joined by Jiminy Cricket, Snow White and Cinderella.
Filled each of us with pride and pleasure. And that's the kind of happiness that exudes throughout the Fantasy.
Christine Tibbetts is a university-trained journalist with 40+ years writing for newspapers, public relations and marketing firms and arts and education organizations. She shares travel and life with a family blended by marriages and multiple encounters.

I Beg Your Pardon, Mr. President.4 06 2009
How did that sound guys? I was kinda gunning for an Olbermann effect.
Here's the reason for the indignation:
Back on December 5th, OOTB linked to a NYT story that Obama would deliver a major speech from an Islamic capital. Knowing that Obama would never mention honor killings and gay stonings, or remind Muslims that American blood and treasure had been recently and frequently spent in their favor, I wasn't planning on saying anything about it.
I was prepared for placating platitudes about our aggressions and their humiliations, our selfishness and their pain. I was willing to go along for the ride in the attempt to, win hearts and minds by exaggerating the population of Muslims in America and down-playing our very obvious differences.
I didn't even care if he credited Islam with the Renaissance (which he did).
In fact, I was totally willing to give Obama a shot at serving up some of his refined taqiyya to the throngs of non-drinkers.
But then he had to go and say this:
America's strong bonds with Israel are well known. This bond is unbreakable. It is based upon cultural and historical ties, and the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied.
No. A$$hole.
The aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in history, PERIOD.
It's discussed in the Bible and fortified by archeological evidence.
Attributing the existence of a Jewish state to the infamous tragedies of the Jews, no matter how eloquently put, plays into the hands of the anti-Zionists who can henceforth relate the Holocaust to Palestinian suffering.
It is weak-minded and lazy moral relativism and I loathe it like nothing else.
- It begs the question of, why Arabs pay the price for European/Russian crimes.
- It validates the presumption that the Palestinians are native to the land, while perpetuating the notion of Jews as pathetic nomads.
- It cheapens the word, "holocaust" to the degree that Muslims believe the Jews deserve a real holocaust for imposing one and faking another. And ultimately, it does not address the issue that Islam is by nature, anti-Semitic.
- It reinforces conspiracy theorizing eugenicists like Nazis and Nation of Islamers/Black Liberation Theos, that modern Jews are fake Jews who stole Judaism.
So thanks for nothing Mr. Prez.
Atlas, who informs us that the despicable "Muslim Brotherhood" invited Obama to Egypt, has a pretty extensive post about the speech and it's worth a look. She also has interesting news about how Obama's keeping us safe in her highly readable stories about Eric Holder giving special protection to Muslims in America, and Obama ordering law enforcement agencies to back off counterterror investigations of Muslim-American converts.
American Thinker has an interesting ditty about one of the Quran verses that Obama quoted and the convenient omission of the subsequent verse.
Ed Morrissey at Hotair.com was pleasantly surprised and has solid links!
Instapundit with a classic one-liner:
They told me that if I voted for McCain, we'd get a President whose speeches on Islam were praised at Hot Air and criticized at the HuffPo. And they were right!
The Daily Beast has a column that teaches you how to write your own Obama speech. Check this excoriating **** OUT!
And here's a nice video with instructions on how to properly boycott Israel should you desire, brought to you by, Islam in Action:

Yom Hashoah: Never Forget. Never Again.21 04 2009
There are times in this fast-paced, largely gleeful society where evil is seemingly relegated to the big screen, when we must infuse ourselves in sadness because it's the least we can do for those who have suffered before us.
Today, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is one of those days and Atlas has the material for your viewing.
It's the least you can do.

This New Intel Chairman Guy Seems Loyal, To China And Saudi Arabia.6 03 2009
I'm guessing Ayers and Rev. Wright would really dig Chas Freeman's intelligence estimates, given this snapshot:
- He thinks China was "overly cautious" in putting down the pro-democracy rally at Tiananmen Square.
- He has said, "Israel no longer even pretends to seek peace with the Palestinians."
- Was president of the Middle East Policy Council (MEPC), a Saudi lobby group which published an "unabridged" version of "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," a controversial 2006 essay that argued American Jews have a "stranglehold" on the U.S. Congress, which they employ to tilt the U.S. toward Israel at the expense of broader American interests.
- Has reportedly called out Jewish Senate staffers even in meetings not related to Israel, calling them "you people" and questioning their loyalty to America.
- He's basically a de facto employee of Saudi Arabia and an apparent panderer to its demands. In exchange, he received lavish support for the research center he headed and lucrative contracts for the consulting firm that he founded to guide international companies into finding royal family-connected partners within the Saudi elite.
- Chas said, "The primary reason America confronts a terrorism problem today, is the brutal oppression of the Palestinians by an Israeli occupation that is about to mark its fortieth anniversary and shows no sign of ending."
- Mr. Freeman peddled a Saudi funded textbook to American public schools which contained fabrications and propaganda such as: "Muslims found America long before Christians"; the "question of Jewish lobbying" against "American interests and concerns"; and suggested the Quran "synthesizes and perfects earlier revelations."
- A report by the Center for Security Policy identified Freeman as a member of the so-called Iran lobby group, which has been pressing the United States to lift sanctions from and reconcile with the regime in Tehran. In a Feb. 25 report authored by Clare Lopez, the center cited Freeman's signature on a petition in 2006 for the Bush administration to improve relations with Iran without preconditions.
- He's on the board of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, or CNOOC, owned by the Chinese government that is in the midst of a multibillion dollar Iranian oil deal with which may be a violation of U.S. sanctions against doing business with Iran.
- In 2005, CNOOC made a staggering, all-cash $18.5 billion offer to buy the American oil company Unocal, topping an earlier bid by ChevronTexaco. Immediately, lawmakers and many policy experts, including a broad array of Democrats and Republicans in Congress, mounted a major opposition campaign to the bid, urging the Bush administration to have the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. determine how the deal would affect national security.
- Arakan Oil Watch, a human rights organization, issued a report accusing CNOOC last October of human rights abuses and land theft in an oil prospecting venture in Burma. The accusations came less than a month after the U.S.-based EarthRights International expressed concern about China's increasing grip on Burma's natural resources, including through CNOOC's ventures. The accusations against CNOOC, with Freeman on its board, ranged from land seizure to wanton pollution of rice fields and water systems with oil waste.
- Chas also has long standing ties to the Bin Laden family in Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Freeman's nomination does not need Senate approval but hopefully he's stopped before he gets a chance to help Obama wipe out Israel.
UPDATE: Hot Air is on it.

Israel Gives Medicine. Arabs Load Explosives. Give Back!13 02 2009
This is NOT a case of 'giving someone a dose of their own medicine.'
Medicine bottles, transferred to the Gaza Strip as humanitarian aid by Israel, were used by Hamas as grenades against IDF troops during Operation Cast Lead. The medicine bottles were filled with explosives, holes were drilled in the caps, and fuses were installed. Once Hamas fighters lit the fuses, they had several seconds to throw the grenades at soldiers. The IDF also found small explosive devices that used medical syringes to hold their fuses.
UPDATE: Flashback…Hamas dresses up as doctors and nurses and fights from hospitals
