Water Damage
Water Damage Due To Fire
Whether it is big or small, fires need to be put out at some point. The longer the fire roars, the worse the damage will be to your home or business and the people that may be in it. Place a few fire extinguishers throughout your home to help keep you and your family safe. For businesses or larger homes, a sprinkler system is the way to go. Sprinkler systems will put out the fire almost immediately. But, on the downside, the sprinklers leave room for more issues.
A sprinkler system should activate as soon as it detects smoke in the area. If you are considering getting them placed in your home, try to pick rooms that are more prone to fires, such as the kitchen. Sprinkler systems are not known to go off by themselves so there's no need to worry about water damage from a rogue system.
Now for the downside. While sprinklers are a great asset to the home, if a fire does break out, you should be prepared for a lot of water damage. Sprinklers can spout off about 25 gallons of water per minute. That's a huge amount of water. And where does it all end up? All over your home. So now, you're not only dealing with smoke and fire damage, but water damage ends up in the mix.
It's important to call our local water damage restoration company immediately after. All of the soaked, porous materials in your home, such as carpet, clothing, boxes, etc., can all turn into a monstrous moldy mess within as little as 48 hours. Trust me, you do not want to add that situation to your plate as well. Just call your water damage restoration company and we will take care of all the damage. We will provide you with a detailed quote that informs you of all the steps we plan to take in regard to making your home look brand new. We'll even come back in two weeks to make sure that no mold has surfaced since.
For water damage due to a sprinkler system or anything else, contact us today! Our friendly customer service representatives are here to take your call day or night. We know that water damage can occur at any time of day so we're available to handle it 24/7. Call us today for your free estimate!

WDC supports Rep. Subeck's and Sen. Hansen's bills
Posted: April 19, 2017
Updated: June 8, 2017
Madison —The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign wholeheartedly supports Assembly Joint Resolution 53 and Senate Joint Resolution 54 proposed by Rep. Lisa Subeck (D-Madison) and Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay) to curb the poisonous power of money in our political system.
Rep. Lisa Subeck
Their proposal calls for a statewide referendum asking the citizens of Wisconsin whether they favor amending the U.S. Constitution to declare that corporations are not persons and that money is not speech.
"Such an amendment is crucial if we are to have a real democracy in America, and not a plutocracy," said Matt Rothschild, the executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. "The political arena has become a sandbox for the super-rich and the corporations to play in, and it's practically fenced off to the rest of us."
Sen. Dave Hansen
Rothschild noted that the percentage of the U.S. population that gives $200 or more to political candidates is 0.5 percent. And the percentage that gives the maximum $2,700 to the presidential candidate of their choice is 0.08 percent, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Rothschild said that this amendment is necessary not only to overturn Citizens United, the horrendous U.S. Supreme Court decision of 2010 that allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to elect candidates of their choice. It is also needed to knock down more than 130 years of bad precedent, dating back to the 1886 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Santa Clara County vs Southern Pacific Railroad, which was the first decision that said corporations are persons.
"It's foolish to hope for, and wait for, a more enlightened Supreme Court in the future to see the error of its ways," said Rothschild. "The fundamental cure is to amend the U.S. Constitution. Fortunately, there is a large mass movement in favor of doing so, and the citizens of Wisconsin are in the lead, with more communities on board than any other state except Massachusetts. Now we need the state as a whole to endorse this referendum, which would pressure our elected officials in Washington to pass the amendment and send it back to the states for ratification."

I have more pages done, but I think I want to make a backlog of some pages before I figure out what sort of schedule I have for this comic (just so I can make updating easier instead of getting behind). Either way, though I'd post a bit more...maybe just because I like this page. :D

We all had a very busy day today, picking up feed, fencing, playing and unloading feed. Poor old Cook got attacked by pigs bringing in the shopping after a night duty. One of the pigs managed to break open her apple bag and spill apples all over the paddock. She came running in looking for some help - but as always the pigs won in the end.
We went out to feed tonight, one of the pigs was looking pretty big this morning - yes it was one eating apples, anyway she had eight piglets at 5pm and mum and piglets are doing well. Luckily I'd put a new wall on the pigs house, it started to rain jsut after she had finished.
Anyway - tomorrows Monday, start of a brand new week.

Lawd Have Mercy, Jesus, Take the Wheel: 'Very Crispy Gangster' Confesses to Shooting 10-Year-Old Boy Watching Cartoons
Damn! Kids can't even watch cartoons without getting shot these days. SMH.
10-year-old Khalil Robinson was watching cartoons in his family's East New York home when shots were fired at a nearby park and a stray bullet came through the window and struck the child.
The bullet ripped through Robinson's neck and exited his right shoulder. The gunshot was nearly fatal, just missing the boy's heart by less than an inch.
Authorities finally caught the "Very Crispy Gangster" that shot this little boy. Huh? Yes, the gang refers to themselves as "Very. Crispy. Gangsters." The worst part is, the "V.C.G."s tote guns on the regular. Ridiculous. Shameful. SCARY. WTF is a "Very Crispy Gangster?"
Police have charged an 18-year-old member of the Brooklyn gang, Very Crispy Gangsters, Quayshawn Smith with assault and gun possession. Smith, an ex-con, is believed to have taken part in the shooting targeting another local gang when Robinson was shot.
According to NY Daily News, investigators say Smith opened fire on two other teens at the Martin Luther King Jr. playground in Brooklyn. As onlookers scrambled to safety, an unsuspecting Robinson fell victim to a stray bullet and was rushed to Brookdale University Hospital where he underwent several hours of surgery.
Smith, who has been arrested for robbery and menacing and convicted of possession of stolen property last year, later confessed to the shooting.
Welp, congrats on your attempted murder charge and becoming a statistic at 18 years of age, Mr. Smith. Now you'll have plenty time on your hands to pick up a book and read . . . which is what you should've been doing in the first place. SMH. Oh, and uh, say hello to the Booty Warrior for us.
Thank God young Khalil survived but the trauma he has to live with is heartbreaking. Again, we bow our heads and beg: Jesus, please take the wheel . . . and the guns from these lil' wanksters!

Launched in 2005, the Walker Art Center's Premier Partners program brings together a quartet of the institution's most generous corporate members that provide core operational support. That year, General Mills, Star Tribune, and Target increased their already leadership- level gifts, and were the first to be recognized. Delta Air Lines, building on its longtime support of Walker programming, joined as a Premier Partner in 2010, providing critical travel support.
"I say this often, but it's always pertinent—we are truly fortunate to have such kind and committed corporate citizens as these four," says Walker executive director Olga Viso. "They provide core unrestricted funds for our operations, as well as essential services that support curatorial research, help us bring artists to Minnesota from around the world, and keep audiences aware of the work we do."
Executive officers from each company also serve on the Walker's board of trustees, providing crucial leadership, experience, and guidance for the institution. "The Walker is a vital resource for our community," says Target senior vice president Shawn Gensch, "and Target has been a proud strategic partner for decades through free nights, sponsorships, expansions and representation on the board." Fellow trustee Mark Addicks, General Mills chief marketing officer and senior vice president, agrees. "I know a lot of our employees are also excited by what the Walker does. This partnership allows us to fundamentally undergird a major cultural asset in Minnesota."
Delta Air Lines, for example, has played a major role in assisting the Walker to expand its global programming in multiple artistic disciplines. "We bring hundreds of artists here during each performance season," says Philip Bither, William and Nadine McGuire Senior Curator of Performing Arts. "Delta's travel support allows us to more easily cover costs for these productions in our McGuire Theater and also plan for contingencies. We are tremendously grateful for it." Richard B. Hirst, Delta senior vice president and general counsel, says, "This alignment has been beneficial for us at Delta, too, given the Walker's stellar reputation as a leading contemporary art center. We are thrilled to assist the institution in this way."
The Minneapolis-based Star Tribune also helps the Walker increase the range of its programs through promotional support. "Our goal of reaching new audiences would be much harder without this kind of support from the Star Tribune as a Premier Partner," notes Ryan French, the Walker's marketing and public relations director. "They literally help us get the word out, and their broad promotion of some of our most important programs, like the 25th-anniversary celebration of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden this summer, is unmatched." Star Tribune chairman Mike Sweeney says they're happy to do it: "The Walker has been good to our community, and we are glad to have this chance to partner with them."
Studies have long noted that the arts are an economic driver; communities with strong creative and cultural sectors thrive. Yet it is partners such as these that truly help the Walker and the arts flourish in Minnesota.

"Surreal is real in dementia" is an awareness campaign designed for Enable Foundation Hong Kong, an NGO creating a cultural model for better understanding of dementia symptoms.
The campaign visualizes common dementia symptoms besides the most well-known symptom of memory loss. It comprises videos, animated icons, print and posters. (Campaign produced in 2018)
"WITH" is a bookazine I have made for "Connecting Spaces Hong Kong - Zurich", a platform for transcultural collaboration initiated by the Zurich University of the Arts.
The visual language, manifests a fine line between a book and a magazine, celebrating its diversity, not only in the layout, but in the multiple uses of different typefaces, from sans serif, serif, monospace, display, alongside highlighted text in comic bubbles.
For the launch of the bookazine I made a campaign that illustrates collaboration between cultures, art forms and disciplines. (Book design, print/poster and digital campaign produced in 2018)
The 'Love Collection'. A collection of existing Ikea products that, for Valentine's day only, are reimagined humorously as a range of erotic objects. (Personal project)
Rent a Mamma is a social network and online platform developed by me, which on the one hand offers Italian mammas around the world the possibility to share their cooking knowledge, and on the other hand gives Italian cuisine lovers the chance to have a unique experience with original Italian cuisine.
Italy is world renowned for its gastronomic qualities and, as we know, all Italians believe that their Mammas cook the best food on earth. Italian MAMMAS embody the ancient culinary knowledge passed on from grannies to grandchildren for countless generations. Every Mamma has her own special recipe, a 5 star dish for her loved ones. So why not share this privilege with everybody? By offering a service where people can "rent" a real Italian Mamma, finally everyone has the opportunity to learn some of the secrets of real Made-in-Italy cuisine. www.rentamamma.com

Every year 100 Million girls are missing. They're neglected, aborted, murdered. Simply because they are girls. To aid Unicef in creating awareness of this injustice I developed a visual concept, which represents the gravity of this issue. The campaign reached 6 millions viewers, 2.4% of those visited the website, 3.3% of those where converted into donators (4.752 people). The campaign, produced in 2014, incorporated print, poster, TV-viral and a brochure.
Integrated campaign promoting Pfister furniture's top care service.
The Top Care service from Pfister ensures that your sofa stays free of stains and dirt.
So now there is no excuse for not having a dog. The big idea was to encourage people to adopt shelter dogs without having to worry about dirt and stains on their sofas. In other words: Adopt a dog and let Pfister take care of your sofa.
(Campaign produced in 2011)
A mobile targeted spot about the universal truth that everyone's on their tiny screens, and that agencies and brands should seriously start thinking mobile first. First ever campaign from Facebook/ Instagram Asia-Pacific. (Campaign produced in 2016)
A communication platform to introduce Byton - the world's first smart intuitive vehicle (SIV) at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. The "Time To Be" video was broadcasted a few minutes before the official presentation of the car, in front of a crowd of journalists, engineers, entrepreneurs and CEOs. A series of posters was created to tease the event on the official Byton Facebook page. On the evening of January 4th, only a few days shy of the car reveal at CES, we projected the world's first "50-inch Shared Experience Display" over Beijing's World Trade Center. As of today, Byton can be reserved through an app available on the app store. The app allows you to visualize the car in AR mode, configure your future Byton, choose paint, alloys, and an interior color that best suit your personality. To learn more about the world's first smart intuitive vehicle, please visit byton.com
Unicef works tirelessly to improve living conditions for children in need all over the world. Every time a child smiles, we make an important step towards achieving this goal - and the image of this smile becomes the reward for the donor. Nowadays, everyone uses emoticons in digital communication. So why not turn a digital smile into something helpful for the real world? I developed an awareness campaign where you could make a donation simply by buying a Unicef Smiley. In this way, every digital smile represents a real child's smile. This campaign focuses on creating a social media movement. To drive regular donations, a new series of Smileys made by famous designers around the world, was launched on asmyleforasmyle.ch and other social networks every month. (Campaign produced in 2015)
Print and poster campaign for the new Nike sponsorship of the soccer team Zenith St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg is known for its aristocratic history where as Zenit St. Petersburg FC prides itself on meritocracy. What counts is passion and hard work. Headline: Blue blood is earned, not inherited. (Campaign produced in 2010)
Every year 100 Million girls are missing. They're neglected, aborted, murdered. Simply because they are girls. To aid Unicef in raising awareness of this injustice I developed an idea in order to demonstrate the gravity of this issue and ultimately raise funds. According to Googletrends the names of female celebrities register as one of the highest Google searches. So we developed a set of unique Google ads, running on the day of human rights, which popped up whenever a specific popular female celebrity name was searched for. As an example, the copy on a banner read: "Your search - Beyonce - generated no search results. If she were born somewhere else, she may no longer exist. In some countries girls are murdered just because they're girls. Help Unicef fight this injustice." The ads led directly to a microsite where the user could donate to specific Unicef projects that target abuse against girls. More than 5.200.000 people visited the webpage. The visitors were converted to donators at a rate of 5%, which means that 260.000 new donators started supporting Unicef. (Produced in 2014)
This is a film I made for Zurich University of the Arts, in collaboration with artist Ferran Capo. We all leaped over confines and made our worlds collide, to remind ourselves that the whole is always bigger than the sum of its parts. (Online film produced in 2017)

Featured as "Ad of the Day" on Boooooom TV, Canada's highest traffic art blog and #3 on Top 100 Art Blogs Every Artist Must Read.
TV and viral campaign for the launch of the new Honda CR-V.
Distances are measured in km. So what happens if you count landscapes instead of kilometers? This is how the "Landscape odometer" was born. (Campaign produced in 2008)
I was asked by the Swiss Art Directors Club to develop the image for the ADC-Gala Awards in order to attract new young members. While I was browsing through the list of the ADC members, I discovered that the best Swiss Creatives wear beards. That's why I thought about 'The Überbeard'. The most creative beard made from the beards of the best. We invited the best Swiss Creatives to a barbershop and shaved some hair off their beards. Collecting and processing this beard hair by a special technique, we created 'the Überbeard'. A video about the whole process was shared on social networks. Print ads, as well as a microsite showed all applicants portrayed wearing 'The Überbeard' (Corporate and promotional campaign produced in 2014)
Like Cheese on Macaroni is a personal ongoing project, which started as a t-shirt collection with the aim to become in a second step a food brand. The t-shirt collection, in this case, becomes a sort of teaser campaign.
Local Italian companies, attracted by the design of the shirts, got in touch with me asking for the design of new product labels.
When something fits perfectly, in Italy we say it's "Like Cheese on Macaroni". This expression shows the passion for food in Italian culture.
I invited a select group of international designers to develop their own designs inspired by Italian food, and expressing the joy of this culture.
Each product has a unique story, which is reinterpreted in a fresh new style. Once the designs were done, I invited some documentary photographers to develop visual stories based on each design. These stories were used on social networks to create brand contents.

Print and calendar campaign for Honda spare parts. If one does not use original Honda parts for their motorbike, it is likely to become something other than a real motorbike. Possibly it becomes a kind of a monster. (Campaign produced in 2007)
TV, print and poster campaign for the Nike Spanish National team, Euro 2008.
The Spanish team had experienced a tough couple of years and received extensive criticism from both fans and the press. Building on the already existing international headline "take the game to the next level", this campaign demonstrates the teams commitment to succeed by featuring each football player personally vowing to address a specific criticism or expectation. (Campaign produced in 2008)
Voilà ma Suisse is an Engagement Campaign for Mazda Suisse. People have the unique chance to show their version of Switzerland to the world by driving a Mazda programmed as a Street view car. They drive their favorite route, take panorama-pictures from it and tell individual stories about the parts of Switzerland they have chosen to drive through. We released five of these stories as viral films to raise awareness of the campaign. In this way, people are able to discover a whole new Switzerland beyond the clichés of chocolate, cheese and watches. The campaign results after 15 out of 21 locations: 300.0000 unique visitors on website, 2.200 routes requested, 1.083.071 views on youtube . (Campaign produced in 2014)
TV spot and print campaign for the new Seat TDI engine with selective pump injector technology. The concept shows how fuel is exploited in a new way thanks to the new technology. (Campaign produced in 2005)
Calendar and Print campaign for Honda spare parts.
When you do not use original parts for your motorbike it becomes
something else but not a motorbike. It is like dressing up the bike in a fancy way.

Uncle VS Uncle is a collaboration with the Singaporean photographer Aik Beng Chia. Both of us were interested in capturing middle age men from Hong Kong & Singapore in everyday life situations. In Asia every stranger older than you is labelled "Uncles" or "Aunties". Aik Beng Chia and me decided to create a photographic online-challenge by posting on social networks pictures of uncles of our respective cities side by side. We invited the audience to vote for their favourite uncle of the day.

Print campaign and calendar for the Spanish beer company Estrella Damm. The concept was based on the notion that when one drinks refreshing Estrella Damm, he or she is immediately immersed into a Mediterranean world, and associated holiday mood. (Campaign produced in 2008)
Connecting Space Hong Kong
Beside my work in advertising I also collaborate as a creative director with Connecting Spaces Hong Kong - Zurich (www.connectingspaces.ch), a platform for artistic collaboration initiated by the Zurich University of the Arts. I am taking care of the corporate image, mainly for the communication of their art exhibitions. The core aim is to keep a consistence across all the communication pieces. I decided to use part of the logotype, as a main visual element, which each time is newly interpreted by a different designer in a creative and different way.
Boötes is a Hong Kong based charitable organization for the advancement, development, cultivation and promotion of cultural activities. I was asked to develop their corporate identity and brand language. The main idea is to understand this cultural cooperative as a constellation, that aggregates a diverse array of actors to one another, institutions to individual artists, the teams works to another, in order to develop different projects.
Peak is a personal digital diary application developed by me that enables you to record and keep all your special moments: the highlights or 'peaks' of your life. It combines all the fun of social networks with tools to keep your personal info. With Peak you decide which experiences you want to keep private and which ones you want to share. Have a peak life! (Application produced in 2013)
Ambient, calendar and print campaign for Honda spare parts. If you don't use original spare parts, the original specifications of the motorbike change and it will never be the same again. The idea was also brought to life by physically placing cut-outs of parts not belonging on motorbikes on real bikes in major cities all around Spain. (Campaign produced in 2005)
"Keep calm and carry on." It seems that London based company 'HelpMeToRelax' added a very contemporary layer to this archetypal British attitude. 'HelpMeToRelax' sells relaxation in the form of beautifully crafted audio clips. Conveniently downloadable through iTunes, the programs are tailored to familiar everyday situations and help listeners to find inner peace wherever they are. I developed a brand design and advertising concept for this new meditation experience which branches away from traditional guru misconceptions. Simple illustrations and colourful character design, made by Philipp Dornbierer, add a layer of humour and a dose of healthy irony to the brand communication, which has always been a British recipe for relaxation. (Produced in 2013)
Illuminated for the freedom of speech is a photographic series that I've created in Hong Kong. Freedom of Speech is what illuminates the young protesters in Hong Kong. Through their mobile phones they are able to give shape to their freedom of expression. Each illuminated face becomes a symbol of the desire to share the protest with the rest of the world. Communication is a powerful tool for democracy. The phone is no longer just a mere object for communication, or worse, a simple status symbol, instead it becomes a weapon which allows people to share their opinions and thoughts across a country, such as China, where freedom of speech is often limited. The exhibition: "ILLUMINATED for the freedom of speech" was an exhibition, which was taking place in Admiralty, one of the centres of the protest. All around the occupied area in Admiralty you can found thousands of messages of solidarity for the protesters from the rest of the population of Hong Kong. The exhibition was placed right at the heart of Admiralty's occupied area, where all the students and supporting people of Hong Kong pass by. It integrated the "illuminated" photo series with the messages written on post-its placed on the walls. While going up the stairs, the visitors can found themselves on a virtual bridge, which conceptually links the two hemispheres of communication, the offline messages written on Post-its and the online messages from the mobile phones. (Produced in 2015)
The souvenir is one of the central topics of my artistic work. My last piece focuses on the city of Barcelona, whose image has changed a lot in recent years. I chose the Pakistani beer seller, a regular sight in the city, to be the emblematic figure of Barcelona. A statue of the Pakistani was created - a real size sculpture on the streets of Barcelona – as well as accompanying souvenirs – smaller versions of the statue. My aim with this piece was to open a dialogue about the life and integration of certain groups of immigrants in Barcelona and to encourage reflection on the evolution of cities and their image. Exhibited at: Base Elements Gallery, Barcelona, 2011 and Venice Biennale, 2011 (Intervention)
This project captures people openly confessing their deepest secrets in a photo booth. These confessions, however, never leave the photo booth because no sound is recorded. What we record are a series of images that show only the facial expressions and body language of the confessors. Photo Booth Confessions invites people to enter a space of intimacy where you can experience other's secrets, where fear, excitement and shame become visible but remain a secret. This art project was developed and produced in collaboration with Nuria Krämer and Golf Nuntawat in 2011.

Celebrating Elias' 3rd birthday has been a ton of fun! He had his first party when we first arrived in Texas with all his cousins since not all of them would be in town for his real birthday party.
His next party was on his actual birthday in Austin at Aunt Meg's house. While he was sleeping we worked hard on making these little car cakes. They were awesome and he loved it! Best of all though, Elias could actually eat these cakes since they were wheat, egg, and dairy free! The neighbor kids came over and we stuffed ourselves, then jumped in the car for Dallas, which was an extra long drive (6 hours!) b/c of bad weather.

Hi Megan, Chase, and Elias. I miss you guys and was really excited to look at pictures of my friend Elias. I have kept the collage of pictures you gave me on my refrigerator. A couple of people have been over (and worn some cozy slippers) and asked about the pictures, so I have been able to happily talk about you all. Merry Christmas.

In two days we get a shiny new president to kick around. And he is all ready for it, so let's get to work.
Our military is gearing up for a "surge" in Afghanistan. President-elect Obama said during the debates he wants more war there, and it looks like he is living up to his rhetoric:
A naval brigade is being diverted to Afghanistan to help prepare for the extra U.S. troops that will be sent to that country, a Pentagon spokesman announced Friday….
… Their change in orders was announced just days before President-elect Barack Obama takes office, and one month after Defense Secretary Robert Gates signed a deployment order to move an additional 3,000 troops to Afghanistan.
Military officials say those troops will be part of a combat aviation brigade, bringing helicopters to the region, and will go in late spring or early summer.
There are currently more than 30,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, but the U.S. commander there has requested more.
Gen. David McKiernan has requested at least 20,000 more troops be sent to fight resurgent Taliban forces, and Obama has said he would like to see more troops rotated into Afghanistan.
Hooray for the Afghan people. I'm sure this is what they want right about now, more war. Peace is for losers anyway. And let us not forget that Obama has stated he wants to increase the size of the military as a whole, which means a larger budget to support all those new troops, not to mention all their new equipment.
Of course his hands are tied even if he wanted to reduce the military budget, which I don't think he does. Those bombs are made by middle class Americans, read jobs. Increasing the military would make more jobs or at least keep a lot of people employed.
Look at his response to the Gaza massacre, nothing. Will that change after Tuesday? Don't hold your breath. Obama openly supported the destruction of Lebanon in 2006 on his campaign website. For those who see him as an anti-war president, your in for a shock.
I wrote not that long ago that I supported Obama because I thought he would make better decisions regarding the military. So far I am not impressed. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens after he is sworn in to truly know where Obama stands on military aggression. Campaign rhetoric is one thing, hat he does from here on out is what really matters.
If he has any sense he will get our troops out of the business of nation building. We are not very good at it:
Whatever the truth of the matter, in the long run, it's not soldiers but services that count — electricity, water, food, health care, justice, and jobs. Had the U.S. delivered the promised services on time, while employing Afghans to rebuild their own country according to their own priorities and under the supervision of their own government — a mini-Marshall Plan — they would now be in charge of their own defense. The forces on the other side, which we loosely call the Taliban, would also have lost much of their grounds for complaint.
Instead, the Bush administration perpetrated a scam. It used the system it set up to dispense reconstruction aid to both the countries it "liberated," Afghanistan and Iraq, to transfer American taxpayer dollars from the national treasury directly into the pockets of private war profiteers. Think of Halliburton, Bechtel, and Blackwater in Iraq; Louis Berger Group, Bearing Point, and DynCorp International in Afghanistan. They're all in it together. So far, the Bush administration has bamboozled Americans about its shady aid program. Nobody talks about it. Yet the aid scam, which would be a scandal if it weren't so profitable for so many, explains far more than does troop strength about why, today, we are on the verge of watching the whole Afghan enterprise go belly up.
What's worse, there's no reason to expect that things will change significantly on Barack Obama's watch. During the election campaign, he called repeatedly for more troops for "the right war" in Afghanistan (while pledging to draw-down U.S. forces in Iraq), but he has yet to say a significant word about the reconstruction mission. While many aid workers in that country remain full of good intentions, the delivery systems for and uses of U.S. aid have been so thoroughly corrupted that we can only expect more of the same — unless Obama cleans house fast. But given the monumental problems on his plate, how likely is that?

When it comes to software, most business users have no idea what an application costs and don't understand why it takes so long to buy, procure and install an application.
In a survey of 1,000 business users in the U.S and the United Kingdom, the market research firm Vanson Bourne conducted a survey of 1,000 business users on behalf of 1E, a provider of a portal platform for managing the self-service of application software.
The survey not only highlights the issues with the way software is distributed inside the enterprise, it also highlights how poorly that process reflects on the internal IT department. The good news is that most end users are more than happy to manage the process themselves if the IT organization would only let them.

I never enter contests of any sort, either online or local, not because I have something against them it's just because I never have the time off to complete such challenges or because, locally, I'm involved in judging or organizing such contests.
To break the cycle I'm going to do something for myself and also participate on a online painting contest in one of the most if not THE most crazy, fun community I'm a part of.
Everyone is going to pimp their best 28mm's but I'm going to kick some ass with some 15mm's eheheh Seriously good painters there and I'm more a sculptor than painter but they have no chance against a 15mm GZG astronaut! XD
So enough with the talk and lets see some pics of my thing so far.
"FROTHERS, we have a problem"
The theme is a joke with the Apollo13 famous line "Houston we have a problem" to represent the little 15mm astronaut first encounter with one Aliens Egg. (frothers is the name of the community members)
The deadline is on the end of this month and I'm painting it at lunch breaks... more news with the finished painted diorama soon.
Hang in there fellow astronauts!

Hey! I'm Christy, Sean's wife and Michael, Amy and Rebecca's mom. This all started several years ago when we moved from Atlanta to Lansing, Michigan. A blog seemed like a good way to let our Southern friends and family know how we were doing in the great white north.
I still use it to keep folks up-to-date on our lives, but more than that I'm writing because I love it. In the hustle and bustle of raising kids I'd forgotten how much I love to write.
Would I love to be published? Of course! I hope to pursue publishing one day. For now, though, I'm content (mostly) with self-publishing here, working on my writing, and waiting for the day I'm not intimately involved with the education of my little people so I can pursue this more vigorously.
But if you feel like discovering me, please go ahead! I'm sure we can work something out. Sean would be happy to be the kids' full-time teacher. And honestly, he'd be much better organized than I could ever hope to be.
If you'd like to send me an email, please do!

Futurist dub-pop duo Standish/Carlyon formed from the ashes of shadowy rock group Devastations.
Their 2013 debut album Deleted Scenes continues the process begun on the final Devastations album Yes, U, moving away from full-band arrangements towards submerged electronic rhythms and late-night altered states.
Deleted Scenes featured prominently in end-of-year best-of lists around the world, and lead single Nono/Yoyo was nominated for Best Song at the 2013 Age Music Victoria Awards.
Based in London for many years but now back in Melbourne, Standish/Carlyon have played Belgium's Sonic City Festival (curated by Liars) alongside Chris & Cosey and Rhythm & Sound, as well as All Tomorrow's Parties' new Australian incarnation I'll Be Your Mirror, alongside the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Pere Ubu and Einstürzende Neubauten.
"A heady swirl of falsetto and intricately layered keyboard-gasps" - Stereogum
"Our favorite record of the year to date: Standish/Carlyon's Deleted Scenes, which layers futurist melodies over some of the densest dub-influenced low-end sounds you'll ever hear." - Flavorwire
"Conrad Standish and Tom Carlyon have proved masterfully adept at sluggish, sexy, subtly wonked vocal dance music." - The Fader
"Slow electro burner track Nono/Yoyo sounds like the deleted main song from a deleted scene from an 80s dystopian film" - Impose Magazine
"Trance-inducing disco noir that takes cues from Italo disco and French pop" - Vice Magazine

Senior citizen killed in St Ann
May 17, 2017
The St Ann police are probing the stabbing death of a senior citizen.
The body of 88 year-old Nettie Rowe was found in her home in Runaway Bay at around 11:30 a.m., with multiple stab wounds to the chest.
The police are investigating whether the elderly woman was sexually assaulted.
The body was reportedly discovered by a relative who recently returned from overseas.
Rowe lived alone.
The police are yet to establish a motive for the killing.
However, it was reported that the woman's house was ransacked.


text: What do you wish you had more of? Money..right? Am I wrong? Your life seems complete, you have a decent job, a car that runs, good health and a loving family, but you do not have a gigantic house, a car so new you can taste the paint on your tongue, or enough time to travel the world without worrying about not being able to pay your electric bill. Most of us want more money, because we were conditioned to desire wealth. There is nothing wrong about loving money, after all that is what pays our bills and for some grants a more adequate life style than those less fortunate. The underlying issue here is greed. Humans have a poor habit of getting what they want, than craving more and in an excess amount. There is nothing wrong with having a big house, chances are if you can afford one you worked hard to get it only jealous people will pick apart your character. There IS a problem when you believe you are superior to others, because of your extra Benjamin Franklin's in your bank account. There IS a problem when you want ten big houses, because you are not satisfied with one or two. There is also a problem when you become wealthy, and are not willing to help those in need. Always remember there are those less fortunate than yourself…and the rich person will ignore them but the wealthy person will help them.

Heres a really rare relic and this one is made from gorgeous greenstone. I really like the "rusty" orange spot on the one face, near the bit end. In excellent condition and has nice patina and color. I have maybe had two of these in all the years I have been collecting so this is a rare opportunity to own a good example of a very rare relic. Nice price too!

Intuitive, very easy to use. Layout is nice and clean.
Lack of article management for the author. Is there some sort of integration with Telegram bots?
I have been using Telegraph for some time. I really like to way to write on Telegraph, simple and intuitive. It also has a nice instant view in Telegram client.teleme.io - No.1 Telegram Group Bot has used this product for one month.

Was not expecting this, and very similar looking to Medium with its minimal UI. 💕 the name. I just pasted my most recent blog post. Here it is.
Cory Boatright@coryboatright · Founder of Real Estate Investing Profits
@rrhoover cool post bro
@coryboatright nice reply 🙌🏼
Erik van Mechelen@decision_ · Essayist and fiction writer
@rrhoover @coryboatright Thanks for a great post, there, Ryan...like your idea of checking out https://github.com/trending ! Happy Thanksgiving everyone :) http://telegra.ph/Tomorrow-is-Th...
Jaynti Kanani@_jdkanani
@rrhoover Post looks very satisfying, both content and UI wise. 🙏🏽
Justin Jackson@mijustin · ⚡ transistor.fm
Just tried it out. Love: - the simplicity Would like: - a way of "owning" my articles - verifying that an author is actually the author
Bojan Vidanovic@bojanvidanovic · Front-end & Hybrid Web
@mijustin Exactly what I was thinking.
@mijustin is it possible that the point of this medium is to create lengthier pieces of content than would fit in a regular chat message, then link to to from within your chat medium? If so, then what establishes it as "yours" is your chat message that links to it (and supported by your name on the author field).
@mijustin ownership is coming soon. You'll auth with your telegram account.
Stowe Boyd@stoweboyd · futurist, researcher, imperfectionist
@mijustin Seems essential to me.
@mijustin @chrismessina in other words, I suspect telegraph is meant primarily to be used as a direct complement to telegram, as a means of better managing longer-form content while integrating cleanly
Whoa. @Telegram just launched a tiny editor-competitor to Medium (the UI is clearly derivative of Medium) called Telegra.ph (great domain). Fascinating! (You might also compare this with Slack's Post feature, except this is public-to-the-web. Here's a sample. For folks wondering about the comparison to Medium, here's how Medium's new story editor looks: Compared with Telegraph's: Are they the same? No. Are they similar? YES. Even the commented-out editor buttons come right from Medium: So far, the comparison goes skin deep, and not much deeper. Telegraph is more like a Medium-styled Pastebin, which is anonymous for now, but will eventually add authentication via Telegram so you can save your stories.
Austin Sandmeyer@as_austin · Thinker/Student/Rockstar
@chrismessina @telegram ... Is this just the beginning of how "longer tweets" might look.
@as_austin ironically not built by Twitter.
_J_C_@jamescampbell · CTO, DGI
People are really dumb to compare it to Medium. Completely missing the point. It is a minimalist stylish pastebin. Minimalist should not equal Medium. Some points: 1. Verification of authors can come from signed content using PGP and verification by end users who have their public key (which has always worked since PGP existed). 2. Great use case is journalists or activists under pen name in banned locations could post here without fear of retribution. 3. It needs a basic search index (and may already have one hidden somewhere).
Bruno Nascimento@nscmnto · Chief Beard, Barba Brada
@jamescampbell I think the comparison to Medium comes more from the way it looks, rather than the way it works. You do make a good point and use case. Again, it all comes back to having a free, secure, and open platform to communicate, and in this case, spread a bigger message.
Unless I'm missing something, if you forget the URL for your post, you just can't edit it?
@nicksimard they'll be adding auth with your telegram account soon but for now, yes.
@chrismessina Ah, perfect. Thanks for the info :)

Last year, singer-songwriter Jenn Grant released her "intimate and otherworldly" sixth album, Paradise. It was a record that saw the Halifax artist become a more detailed storyteller, often spinning tales inspired by her vivid dreams. So it's only fitting that her new music video for album cut "Lion With Me" is now getting a fantastically lush treatment that feels like we're floating through Grant's subconscious.
The video, directed by Christopher Mills, drifts around projections of Grant performing and navigating an ark-airplane hybrid filled with animals through stormy seas. Much like Grant, Mills sees and hears the track as a "comforting dream about finding the courage through music to brave the storm."
"In these tumultuous times, we all need to go digging deep into the ark of our minds to find the lion we all have hiding in there somewhere," Mills continued, via email. The video's layered techniques are a signature style of Mills', who has taken similar approaches to music videos for Leonard Cohen, Interpol and Ron Sexsmith.
Back in February, Grant told CBC Music this about "Lion With Me": "This is a love song that I wrote for my husband. In the song I talk about shovelling, because we live at the bottom of this hill, and we shovel so much. I think it's a bit of a metaphor for anything that is a struggle in your life and trying to get through it." (Grant's husband, collaborator and producer, Daniel Ledwell, also appears in the video, and sings on the track.)

The Luton Bahá'i Community celebrated their Naw Ruz (New Year) on Saturday March 21 at the Chaul End Centre.
Nearly 100 guests, including Mr Kelvin Hopkins and representatives of some other Faiths attended.
It was a night of celebration with a devotional and musical interlude for the whole family followed by Persian style buffet and socialising.
Bahá'is believe that the foundation of all religions is the same.
The reason we have different religions is because God's message to Mankind is in the form of a progressive and unfolding destiny.
Each new Prophet takes religion to the next stage, while bringing social teachings applicable to the time of their manifestation.
The Bahá'i Faith teaches about equality and the concordance of Religion with science while seeing the Earth is but One Country & Mankind its Citizens.
