Dopper – known for their colourful drinking bottles – wants to live in a world where people are aware of the environment, where we actively reduce single-use plastic waste, and where everyone, close to home and far away, has access to safe and fresh drinking water.
To get this message across in a fun, unpolished way, the brand chooses to communicate via spontaneous, sustainable, unexpected bold imagery.
Especially on their social media channels: where the worldwide followers of Dopper are treated to high quality photography. Starting in the month November, I'll produce the online images of Doppers lifestyle and still life images containing their iconic products. Here's a sneakpeak of the pictures that are to come.

How would a park of the future look like, knowing that our cities will keep on growing and keep on getting denser? I tried to answer that question, with the need to experience greenery in busy cities.
[Images from graduation show presentation]
In my thesis I try to find an answer to the underlying question: How can green improve an urban living environment? For which in this research I specifically take a look at New York, a metropolis with high density that will keep on growing rapidly over the coming years. NYC plays a leading role in the field of green development. My main question reads: which lessons can be drawn from the innovative green projects in New York City.
To be able to answer my main question, I first took a step back. I did research about what a city actually means, how the process of urbanization took place, which problems it produced and why these issues are considered problems. After this the young trend Landscape Urbanism is studied. These ideas focus on new ways of shaping an urban design, according 'horizontal landscapes' instead of 'vertical building'.
De High Line, "Miracle above Manhattan" New Yorkers float over busy streets in an innovative park, Paul Goldberger voor National Geographic.
De High Line is bedacht door Joshua David en Robert Hammond. Twee buurtbewoners met een hart voor de verlaten spoorlijn die in 1999 de non-profit organisatie ?Friends of the High Line' opzetten, en zo het initiatief namen tot de ontwikkeling van de oude treinrails..page 31/32 of thesis
My research consists out of three parts. First the problems of urbanization are analyzed, making use of the created historical context. The pioneers of greener cities will be discussed. Next to this the subject infrastructure, livability on street level and food supply are discussed.
The second chapter shows a series of solutions how green is used to regain peace and space in the city. Also is described how this added greenery could improve the urban ecology at the same time.
The last part focuses on case studies in New York. The research method is based on fieldwork and interviews with related people at the spot. I looked into what kind of influence the projects had on the city and its inhabitants and what examples other cities adopt.
I made research models out of ceramics. Like in the final design concept, living plants form the structure in this earlier intuitive models. After keeping them inside over the wintertime the young trees started growing. This experiment shows in smaller scale how growth takes over, allowed to complete the design.
"not the excess of people but the lack of green is what threatens the mental health of townspeople".
With this knowledge the people of New York commit themselves, supported by a strong governmental policy, to make their city greener and more livable. This is what makes the trend that helped the 'Big Apple' change into a 'Green Apple' so interesting and relevant: The approach both top-down and bottom-up at the same time. This is an innovatory model that fits well within the current economical recession, because the city is not only developed on governmental initiatives and financing but there is also searched for other possibilities and money sources.
Vipcity is a research project of the Belgian bureau for urban planning T.O.P.office Luc Deleu. 'The Unadapted City' is a design based urbanist study. Earlier models such as Brikabrak (1998), Dinkytown (1998-99) and Octopus (1999) lead to the latest model Vipcity: an urban plan for 38,000 inhabitants.
According to T.O.P. office life on earth will become a problem because of a lack of space. While most architects and urban planners design spaces for one fixed purpose, T.O.P. office designed basic shapes that could fit for all purposes, to reduce the inefficient use of space in cities today. The basic shapes behave like a sort of skeleton, and can be filled according to the needs of the inhabitants. The only way a city can be adapted to its needs, is when its design is unadapted, still to be customized accordingly. Research lead to some rules in the arrangement of the city.
First, all needs are categorized. The facilities mentioned:
– hotel and catering – social facilities – medical facilities – distribution and Transport – education – universal and commercial services – culture and entertainment – worship – arts and crafts – sports and recreation
Next these facilities can be placed in three categories: structural, zoned and occasional.Structural facilities provide the cities structure.
The transport and distribution facilities are represented in the black oblong shape. It functions as the cities spine, along which the zones are placed (white parts in photo).The zoned facilities, shown as the small colored blocks, can develop by various, uncontrolled within a specific zone.
The facilities are shaped rectangular. This proved to be the most versatile and fitting for every function. The colors represent the different facilities.
Occasional facilities can develop everywhere by individual. By free initiatives that directly answer to a inhabitant needs.
When the needs of the inhabitants change, adjustments can be made on either zoned or occasional facilities. The space or form does not have to be adjusted, only its function, i the image represented by the change of color. Occasional facilities can easily be taken down or moved and affect the cities shape.
This research project by T.O.P. office is highly theoretical and not one of the models is executed. Nevertheless it gives fresh view the construction of the society.
Based on the general theme "Le Corbusier and Other Stories" we investigated a variety of subjects related to the content presented at this summers Corbusier Art and Architecture exhibit at NAi, Rotterdam. Research material was edited down to A4 sized guided tours/portals into these subject matters. All subjects presented in this list were available as hard copy prints at the Research Folder Archive at the library of the academy from November 2007 until January 2013 at which date we decided to have them only available as part of the online Designblog archive:
Primitivism, Le Poème de l'Angle Droit, Corbusier's Christmas Gift, La Chapel de Notre Dame, Amedee Ozenfant, Corbusier in Istanbul, Varese's Poème Electronique, The Candigarth Project, Modular, Language of Organic Form, Corbusier and Politics, The Bric, Ferdinand Léger, The Brasilia Project, Sandberg's Experimenta Typografica 11, Koolhaas/Lagos, Nature Design Zurich, Constant's New Babylon, Rietveld's Academies, The Chaisse Longue

Worst customer service and experience ever. I will never ever go back to verizon
Wow, ok this is going to be a novel. 2 years ago I went into GoWireless Inc. in Agoura Hills Ca. I often frequent these stores just to browse. The salesman (wearing a Verizon shirt, representing Verizon) there asked about my account and said that he would like to look at my account because there are new Verizon plans out there that may save me money. Of course I obliged wanted to save money and maybe get a new phone. The salesman comes back to me and says that there is great news, I am on an old plan and if I want to upgrade to a new plan, he will add a line (going from 2 lines to 3). Since my plan is so old, with the new plan, there will be no extra charges or fees. We did not want or need a 3rd line but he sold me when he said that I could have an upgrade every year since my renewals would be on opposite years. He reconfirmed with me that there will be no extra charges or fees. It sounded like a win win, he gets his commission which expressed numerous times and I get my upgrade yearly. That is the point he flat out lied to my face. He set my bill up as requested on auto pay and it took me many months to realize that I was paying an additional $40 every month for this 3rd line that I am not using. I went back to the store and spoke with the manager who told me that I should have read the contract more carefully. Who actually reads those in full anyway? We all know, nobody does. I have spend the last year back and forth with Verizon trying to explain to them that I was flat out lied to about the fees and that I would have never obliged to change my plan had he informed there was fees. That line which is scheduled to expire at the end of this month has had ZERO data or minutes used. I was accused by more than one Verizon employee that I did this purposely to get the upgraded phone to which I have proved them wrong by explaining the financials. I had to pay $299 for a phone plus $40/monthly for 24 months. Add that up and you get $1259.00. I could have easily paid for the phone in cash for $699 and saved myself $600. Why would I or any sane person agree to pay several hundred dollars more for a phone and line that I had no intentions of using? I wasted $960 in monthly fees for the past 2 years that I did not agree to, was never told about, nor did I want. Every time II call customer service at Verizon they tell me that they are not responsible for what 3rd party people representing Verizon does. The outside of the store said Verizon, the salesman's shirt said Verizon, he sold me Verizon, as the consumer, I DEALT with Verizon. On Sunday 11/2/14 I spoke with a customer service rep who promised me a refund and that he was going to make everything right since I was so clearly taken advantage of. I was promised a call back from him, and I never got it. Another let down and disappointment by Verizon customer service. I was then"done a favor" by a rude customer service "manager" by giving me a $80 credit. $80 off a $960 fraudulent case is an insult. I am the perfect Verizon customer. I have never paid a bill late, I spend a lot of money and I never complain about anything such as dropped calls. I have called and complained many times about this and only this. Lastly when speaking with the customer service "manager" I asked him to try and keep me as a customer because he was losing my business fast, his response..."We did not do anything wrong, we are giving you an $80 credit, that is more than earning your business back. We did not have to even give you $80. I can go on but as you can see, this is an ongoing joke for almost 2 years. You can look up my account, there should be plenty of notes.

The Matrix of the Abstract Teaching
Posted on | June 6, 2014 | 1 Comment
The Matrix of the Abstract Teaching is a direct translation from the beginning of the Abhidhamma or "abstract/higher teaching" in the Pali Canon. It is a table or grid from which other doctrines are classified in the seven Abhidhamma books or sections, it is therefore used as a reference point for the other doctrines, suitable for students.
The matrix is divided into three parts, the triplets matrix, the pairs matrix and the pairs matrix from the discourses. These instructions comes with no further explanations, such as:
Triplet Matrix – 15:
Things that are wrongful and have a fixed destiny
Things that are righteous and have a fixed destiny
Things that do not have a fixed destiny

Computers Software Operating Systems Realtime
This category has information on only RealTime Operating Systems (RTOSs), and closely related material. Realtime systems are not the same as embedded systems. Realtime OSs can be used in general purpose computers, and in embedded types. Some embedded OSs are not realtime, and cannot serve some uses. Why segregate RTOSs so fully? Three clear reasons exist: 1) The functional divide between RTOSs and non-RTOSs is large, which profoundly effects design: all OSs must provide logically correct/precise results, but RTOSs must go beyond this and give temporal (time) correctness. RTOSs are the only logical and safe choice for time-critical uses. 2) More RTOSs than non-RTOSs (fewer non-RTOSs than RTOSs) are in use, in this solar system at least. 3) Directory user needs are different: those seeking information on RTOSs usually need no information on non-RTOSs, and vice versa, those interested in non-RTOSs usually need no information on RTOSs. On this page, links are arranged in three groups and levels: 1) Top group: issues spanning multiple unrelated OSs. 2) Middle group: types or classes of OS, or OSs for which there are more than one instance of an OS of this name/type, an OS family. 3) Bottom group: specific OSs, individual instances; there is only one OS of this name/type.

"You must see Quarai," said the friend we were visiting in Albuquerque. "It's a mystical place." Eager for a spiritual fix, my husband, Paul, and I drove southeast from the city to this Spanish mission ruin [122 Manzano Quarai Road, Mountainair, N.M.; (505) 847-2585, www.nps.gov/sapu], one of three sites of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. We spotted Quarai's jagged red sandstone walls rising above a grove of cottonwood trees, their leaves shimmering in the sun like polished jade. The footpath to the ruin led us among grassy mounds that shelter the remains of the native civilization that flourished here before the Spanish arrived in 1598. "Enter the church alone," our friend had recommended, so I went first, my footsteps echoing off the shadowy stone walls. My eyes were drawn to the cobalt blue sky. I heard the whisper of leaves in the wind and felt a sublime connection to nature and the past.
The two-night tab: $299 for lodging; $125 for car rental and gas; $189 for meals; plus airfare and taxes.
The bed
The striking design, architecture and art of Hotel Chaco (2000 Bellamah Ave. N.W., Albuquerque; [505] 247-0708], which opened May 1, pay homage to Chaco Canyon, home to some of the most extensive pueblo ruins in New Mexico. It was an unexpectedly appropriate — and gorgeous — place for us to stay after visiting Quarai. Because we were among the hotel's first guests, we enjoyed a discounted introductory room rate of $199 a night, which is good through the end of July.
The meal
Hotel Chaco's rooftop restaurant, Level 5, was still under construction, so we dined at Más Tapas y Vino (125 2nd St. N.W., Albuquerque; [505] 388-0088). We nibbled on a tasty array of Spanish tapas as we sipped a lovely New Mexican sparkling wine that was extra-bubbly, thanks to Albuquerque's nearly mile-high elevation. I was surprised to learn that grapes have been grown in New Mexico since 1629, when the church at Quarai was under construction, and that today the state has 60 wineries.
The find
Though Quarai was less than two hours from Albuquerque, we spent our first night near the ruins at Casa Manzano (103 Forest Road 321, Tajique, N.M.; [505] 384-0689]. A mile and a half up a rutted dirt road, the charming B&B nestles among piñon and juniper trees. Because there are no restaurants nearby, we supped on take-out we had picked up in Albuquerque. In the morning, owner Guy Seiler served a delicious eggs-and-potatoes breakfast spiked with his dynamite green-chile salsa, along with homemade pastries.
The lesson learned
It was satisfying to discover that prices for car rental, lodging and food are lower in New Mexico than in Los Angeles. We high-fived when we stopped to refill the tank on the way to the airport and paid only $2.09 a gallon for gasoline.

Diet choices impact healthy eating
Over time like many of us, my husband and I have developed minor health issues that we pass off as just something that happens or something to expect as you get older.
These issues include minor skin irritations, mild arthritis in hands, knees and feet, digestive and gastro-intestinal problems, occasional sleeplessness and restless leg syndrome. Despite this, we consider ourselves relatively healthy but we are always open to ideas to keep healthy.
Last year, we completed an elimination diet, eliminating foods that are known to cause allergies. Allergies are shown in many ways and it's not always in the form of a skin rash or a stomach upset.
After six weeks when our bodies have adjusted, we re-introduce one of the allergic foods every four days and monitor changes in our body. Any adverse reaction, for example, feeling bloated during those four days, is possibly related to that food we've just re-introduced.
Lately, for health and environmental reasons, we have been eating more fruit and vegetables and incorporating hormone and antibiotic-free chicken, dairy, eggs and meat as much as possible.
So how did this diet work?
On Day 1, we had to eliminate dairy, eggs, the nightshade plants (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, white potatoes), all wheat (flour) and gluten-containing products, sugar and anything processed.
We could eat all the fresh fruit and vegetables we could handle, chicken and meat (hormone and antibiotic-free if possible), wild-caught fish, raw nuts, brown rice, lentils, beans, almond or rice milk and -- thankfully -- alcohol, though in moderation.
We craved sugar so much in the first week. It got so bad that we borrowed an ice-cream maker and made almond milk ice cream with agave syrup (allowed) so we would have something sweet in the evenings. It did the trick.
We missed bread and substituted with rice cakes. At meal times, we bulked up on roasted sweet potatoes, brown rice, beans and lots of vegetables. I really missed cow's milk in my breakfast tea and coffee so I gave up breakfast tea and drank black coffee and green tea instead.
My husband found huge improvements in his arthritis and for the first time in years was able to jog up to two miles without pain. Eliminating dairy also improved his GI issues. And eliminating refined wheat products and sugar reduced minor skin rashes that would flare up.
We made it to four weeks, not six, but felt the benefits anyway. We lost weight, slept better and had more energy.
We determined that sugar and wheat products were connected to my husband's arthritis. We now eat very little wheat and sugar. We continue to eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
The Mediterranean style of eating follows very similar eating guidelines. Lots of fruit and vegetables, brown rice, whole grains and smaller portions of chicken and meat. This has many health benefits to humans and to the environment.
The livestock business is a large stressor on Earth's increasingly scarce water resources, contributing, among other things, to water pollution, excess nutrients in bodies of water stimulating excessive algae growth, oxygen depletion and subsequent death of other organisms such as fish, and the degradation of coral reefs. The major polluting agents are animal wastes, antibiotics and hormones, fertilizers and the pesticides used to spray feed crops.
I continue to grow vegetables using natural fertilizers, and supplement with local store supplies and an organic buying club. The elimination diet was tough but taught us some lessons and served as a reminder that our food choices can improve our health and that of the environment.

Publisher: Self / Indie
Pages: 312
Makenna Wilhelm knows all of her friends have their quirks, but when Ty shows up naked in her yard one morning, she finds it beyond weird. Stranger still are the deep gashes across Ty's chest and his sudden ability to hear and smell things that no human should.
During a moonlit night, Ty's secret is revealed. He's no longer the boy she's crushed on forever, but rather a werewolf with one serious aversion for all things silver.
By The Pale Moonlight was kindly sent to me to read and review by Jennifer Hendren. Despite it being quite different from all the other shifter books I have read, I loved reading this book! My favourite characters were Makenna and Ty; Makenna because of her determination and courage and Ty because of his sense of humour, caring nature and of course because he's a werewolf. I love the cover and it suits the story within perfectly!

Travis Scott featuring Kanye West "Piss On Your Grave" Music Video
Some two months after Rodeo's drop, Travis Scott and Kanye West have unexpectedly dropped the official visuals for their Jimi Hendrix-sampling "Piss On Your Grave."

Some assumptions
I want everyone involved in influencing to feel good about the outcomes and the way they were reached. If the people you are trying to influence feel bad about either, then it will be more difficult to influence them next time. This approach is "win/win". Negotiation may be necessary if a pure "win/win" is not possible. Negotiation can be less satisfactory as it results in some "lose/lose" as the each party settles for less than their ideal position. People do use their power to exploit the others weak position and create a "win/lose" situation. The losers usually feel aggrieved and will retaliate when they can. This course will concentrate on influencing skills to achieve "win/win".
Exercises to help you think about you.
You can write the answers down or talk over the questions with a colleague or friend. If you have the time, you may get more by talking first and then writing a few notes.
What did that person do that got you to say "Yes", and act with commitment?
How did you feel when you were together?
What three words or phrases would you use to describe the interaction?
What did you do that got her/him (or the group) to say "Yes" and act with commitment?
What do you have in common?
What style do they use? (Business like, enthusiastic, sociable, cautious etc.).
How would you describe it? Use three or four words, if you like.
How would your colleagues describe it?
How can you build a relationship with people who use a different style?
What do you do everyday at work?
What do you do that you enjoy at work? Why do you enjoy it?
Given the above, what is most important to you at work? (E.g. Achievement, learning, recognition, being liked, avoiding conflict, having fun, being with nice people etc.)
What is important to the people you want to influence?
These questions will help you think about the people you want to influence. They are unique people with their own preferences. You may have discovered something about your own preferences and needs too. Influencing requires us to adjust our behaviour to build an effective relationship with other people.
Exercises to help you think about influencing other people.
The questions will help you think about the important people, groups or issues you want to influence. The framework focuses on building relationships. This is the core issue, when you have an effective relationship understanding peoples needs and developing positive proposals is easy.
I have listed some questions for you to think about, as before. There are tables in the note to organise your answers. We will use a circular version on the course. The homework will help with this too.
Think about your situation and potential clients.
This is the "Open Systems Planning" model we will use on the course.
When you have done the above, record your conclusions in a table like that overleaf.
I give below hypothetical examples for illustration. The person is a Dean of Computer studies with special responsibility for mature students. Not one of you, I trust.
The situation NOW
Influence Q1
Relationship Q2
Feelings Q3
Friendly but uninvolved
Mature students
Sad and angry
XYZ university
Close good co-operation
Proud and satisfied
Top management
Developing but slowly.
Slightly frustrated
Course design
Complicated lots of people involved.
Excited and anxious
You may wish to use more space to extend your entries.
Think about how you would like thing to be in (say) a years time.
You can record you answers in a FUTURE table, as below. The contrasts between the tables will help you think about how to bring about the change.
The situation in the FUTURE
Friendly working together
Growing and co-operative
Developing effectively
Lots of people working as a team.

Think about how to make progress.
What do you need to do to move one of your issues from its state NOW to its state in your desired FUTURE? One possibility is to talk with the other party or parties.

Leave me and my self-checkout alone
Overlooked in the early-October haze of Wall Street occupations, presidential debates, a global economic recession and the debut of Simon Cowell's overly botoxed face on "The X Factor," was the most-depressing news of them all: Some grocery stores are considering forgoing self-checkout lanes.
According to an Associated Press article, the Food Marketing Institute found only 16 percent of supermarket transactions in 2010 were done at self-checkout lanes in stores that provided the option.
Who are the 84 percent not using self-checkout lanes?
OK, I imagine a good chunk of those are people who, uh, let's just say they were born back when the only computer you owned was a calculator, and it was the size of a whole desk. So I can see why you might want to use a cashier when faced with both operating a laser machine that reads prices and lifting groceries from the cart to that tricky conveyor belt thing. Fine.
But what about the rest of us? Isn't this the 21st century? Haven't we worked really hard to NOT associate with one another?
What is Facebook if not a transparent attempt to appear as if we care about our friends, when in reality we're just saying, "Please tell my computer what you are doing today, instead of bothering me with an actual face-to-face visit"?
Cellphones, email, MP3 players, Skype, blogs, DVD players, TiVos, 3-D -- sure, all of these things are awesome, but their real power comes in shielding us from old-fashioned, one-on-one human contact. We're literally inventing stuff every day to keep us from making eye contact with one another. Why would you want to venture outside when you can turn on your crystal-clear HDTV and see the outside in dazzling color?
And when we have to go outside -- when nature or health or social contracts force us to venture away from the protective womb of our dingy, isolated, 2.0 confines -- the last thing we want to do is go to a grocery store, wait in line ... and interact with a cashier.
Last week, I bought a sweater at a popular chain store, and the 20-something dude at the register said -- in a condescending tone that you normally reserve for either the really, really young or the really, really old -- "Did you pick all of these out yourself?"
What does that even mean? How do you recover from that? I'm pretty sure he was insulting me, but he picked the right phrase that landed somewhere between sarcasm and irony.
I don't like cashiers judging my purchases. Ever. I don't want some waify teen saying, "Oooh, someone has a sweet tooth," any more than I want a grandmother going, "Oooh, someone has a drinking problem." (The former has happened, the latter hasn't ... yet.)
I don't want to wait while you squeeze in 15 items in the line clearly marked "10 and below." I don't want to waste my time while you and the checkout girl update each other on what you've been doing since birth up to that very second. I don't want to deal with your kids screaming, your cellphones going off, you holding up the line while you argue whether the 33 cent coupon actually scanned or your general confusion about how to use a debit card.
According to the AP article, "Overall, people reported being much more satisfied with their supermarket experience when they used traditional, cashier-staffed lanes."
If that's true, I've never felt less human than I do right now.
I want to do my shopping with my MP3-player headphones on, as to block out all human voices; keep my head down while I shop, better to avoid seeing someone I know; then head to my good friend the computer, who will allow me to self-checkout and leave without any interaction, whatsoever.
I am fast, I don't make small talk with myself, I don't spread germs to me and I never comment on my own purchases. I am the perfect grocery store employee.
My only bad experience in self-checkout lanes is with, naturally, the humans who use them. If your grocery cart is so full of stuff you need a spotter just to navigate through the aisle, don't use the line. If the change function on a soft drink machine confuses you, don't use the line. If your ringing-up pace is somewhere between "snail" and "corpse," don't use the line. If you are shopping at Walmart -- and, if you are, chances are you answered "yes" to all of the previous three -- don't use the line.
But if you are none of the above, I invite you to join the 16 percent of us who are embracing the convenience of not embracing actual people. And if you don't want to join -- I am OK with that, too. Really, I just want to get out as quickly as possible. I don't want to get involved.

Sam Morris / Las Vegas Sun
Friday, Oct. 5, 2012 | 11:25 p.m.
Prep Sports Now
Lifting weights, talking trash and introducing yourself
Las Vegas Sun sports reporters Ray Brewer and Case Keefer dish on all things Las Vegas high school football again this week. Among the debates, other than the usual picks segment, are whether it's acceptable for an NFL player to introduce his high school alma mater instead of his college.
A Henderson rivalry game quickly turned into a battle between a quick-strike offense and one emphasizing ball control.
Ball-control won out on this night, as Liberty overcame a number of big plays from Coronado to win its homecoming game 35-29.
"We went back to trying to run the ball, eating up the clock and keeping their offense off the field," Liberty coach Rich Muraco said. "Offensively, they didn't stop us once in the first half and defensively, we played better in the second half."
For the second-straight week, quarterback Kai Nacua stood out for the Patriots. In addition to a big night on the ground that included a rushing touchdown, Nacua threw for more than 200 yards.
Tyler Newman, who also spends some time at quarterback, was his favorite target and led the team in receptions.
Coronado went up 7-3 early and pried the lead away from Liberty multiple times throughout the game behind the arm of quarterback Kevin Lucero.
Lucero posted big numbers, as two of his touchdowns alone were for 95 and 65 yards. But the Patriots' Jay Mitchell picked off a Lucero pass on a potential game-winning drive to end the Cougars' hopes of an upset.
In addition to Mitchell's emergence on defense in the second half, Kusitafu Otuafi also helped slow Coronado with a couple of sacks.
"We would play amazing defense for a while and then make a mistake," Muraco said. "You can't do that against a good team."

More Comfy Chairs for This Table?
Q - Hi Apartment Therapy! I'm looking for some outdoor chairs for my patio. I've recently purchased the table in the set found in the attached picture. I didn't purchase the chairs because I'm looking for something a little more comfortable. The table is little darker and has more gray in it than you can see in the picture...
I'm not a fan of wicker...at all. I really love Adirondack chairs, but my patio is not quite big enough for them. Also, I spend a lot of time outside, so I need something sturdy..do you have any suggestions for a girl on a budget? Also, I live in Austin, Texas so if you have any tips for down south I would really appreciate it! My patio has a good amount of plants in moss baskets and consists mostly of earthy greens and browns. THANK YOU!

Letter to the Senate Urging a Yes Vote on Tax Extenders
June 24, 2010
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the National Education Association's (NEA) 3.2 million members, we urge you to VOTE YES on the revised version of the American Jobs, Closing Tax Loopholes and Preventing Outsourcing Act (H.R. 4213), scheduled for a floor vote this week. Votes associated with these issues may be included in the NEA Legislative Report Card for the 111th Congress.
- Provides critical pension funding relief essential to help businesses stave off layoffs
- Provides essential Medicaid funding relief for states to help ameliorate urgent budget crises that continues to weaken the economy
- Extends unemployment benefits to help struggling families; and
- Extends the deduction for educators' out-of-pocket classroom supply expenses.
Pension funding relief is essential to help single-employer and multi-employer defined benefit plans deal with losses incurred as a result of the cataclysmic financial market collapse of late 2008 and early 2009. This relief will help business by sparing them from impossible financial positions. As a result, it will free up resources and help prevent layoffs that drive up unemployment rates. In particular, we strongly support provisions that would allow single-employer plans to amortize recent losses over 15 years, and multi-employer plans to amortize them over 30 years. No matter how conscientiously a sponsor might have previously funded its plan, it could not have been prepared to withstand a 40 percent decline in the market value of the plan's assets within a nine-month period.
An extension of the enhanced federal matching funds for state Medicaid programs (FMAP) is critical for job creation and economic growth and to stave off deeper cuts to education and other priorities. The new state fiscal year begins on July 1, but current FMAP funding ends in December, the middle of their fiscal year. State budget gaps total $140 billion over the next fiscal year and could cost the economy 900,000 jobs in the near term and more than three million by 2012. Thirty states have reported that their budgets (proposed or already adopted) assume the six-month FMAP extension.
The educator tax deduction recognizes the financial sacrifices made by teachers and paraprofessionals, who often reach into their own pockets to purchase classroom supplies. In 2005-06, educators' out-of-pocket expenses averaged nearly $2,000. The deduction expired at the end of 2009; H.R. 4213 would extend it for an additional two years.
Finally, extending unemployment benefits through the end of 2010 will help ensure important life-lines for over 6 million workers and their families, and will provide much needed economic stimulus to communities throughout the country.
Again, we urge you to VOTE YES on H.R 4213.
Kim Anderson
Director of Government Relations

Blu-Ray DRM Plans Released
Both the competing Blu-Ray and HD-DVD formats will use the Advanced Access Content System, which was specifically designed for next-generation optical discs. However, the Blu-Ray group will also secure its discs with ROM Mark, a watermarking scheme identifying authentic Blu-Ray discs, as well as "BD+", which will serve to dynamically update the rights-management schemes in case workarounds or other cracks are discovered and exploited.
The Blu-Ray Disc Association is comprised of 143 members, including Apple, Dell, Hewlett Packard, Hitachi, LG Electronics, Mitsubishi, Panasonic Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sony, TDK, Twentieth Century Fox, and Walt Disney Pictures and Television. Blu-Ray officials weren't available for comment at press time.

Geoff Williams had heard stories about it often while growing up in Middletown, Ohio.
The Flood of 1913 had swept into Middletown, causing severe damage, and had devastated Dayton farther north. But he didn't think the flood had the drama to make a good subject for a book — until he started researching it.
"I honestly think this flood deserves to be remembered the way the Titanic is remembered and the way the (1906) earthquake in San Francisco is remembered," said Williams, 43, a full-time freelance journalist whose work has appeared in major newspapers and national magazines.
His book, "Washed Away," which was published in February (Pegasus Books, list price $28.95), tells the story of the Flood of 1913 through the lives of people who lived during it, focusing heavily on Fort Wayne, Dayton and New Castle, Pa.
Williams, who now lives in Loveland, Ohio, northeast of Cincinnati, collected information by spending countless hours poring over newspaper reports from the day, he said in a telephone interview. He contacted various historical societies to get copies of letters and diaries written by flood survivors. He also read books, memoirs and census records from that time.
In addition, he contacted the sons, daughters and grandchildren of some people who lived through the flood.
"It is like putting a puzzle together," said Williams, whose younger brother, Kevin Williams, is editor of the Amish Cook column that is published Tuesdays in The News-Sentinel.
In 1913, the problems began with ground that was saturated with moisture from snow, Williams said. Then a major storm system moved in, and it kept raining — hard — for three days.
Just about every town in Indiana and Ohio suffered flooding unless it was located on high ground, he said.
One of the most gripping stories he discovered took place in Fort Wayne.
The quickly rising floodwaters soon surrounded the Allen County Orphan's Home, which stood near the location of today's Sears Pavilion along the west side of the St. Marys River just south of the bridge Bluffton Road bridge.
Rescuers used boats to reach the orphanage so children and staff could be brought to safety on higher ground. The first rescue boat capsized, however, and the raging water swept away four girls.
"The orphanage really captured my imagination," Williams said.
He found other stories of tragedy and triumph as well:
•A man who may have been drinking appears to have been the first fatality in Fort Wayne. Despite being unable to swim, he went out in a boat to try to warn people to evacuate, Williams said. The boat sank, and he drowned.
•The mother of actress and Fort Wayne native Carole Lombard was reported to have opened her home to shelter people who had been chased from their houses by floodwaters.
•In Hamilton, Ohio, a woman folded one carpet into three thicknesses, and then she and others inserted long poles into the carpet to create a bridge they used to cross over the water from their rickety house to a sturdier one.
•In Indiana and Ohio, there were numerous reports of people who escaped the water by climbing into trees, where they clung for days in frigid weather.
Probably more than 700 people died in Indiana and Ohio as a result of the flood, Williams said. In some areas, people starved to death in their house or houseboat because they could not get to food. Others died from injuries suffered while cleaning up after the flood, or from diseases caught during the flood or cleanup. Some committed suicide.
Williams said he was inspired by the many stories he found of neighbors helping neighbors or strangers helping others.
The bravery of many rescuers left him in awe as he read how they rushed off to save others without thinking of the danger to themselves.
"I loved working on the book," he said. "I think 1913 is worth visiting, ... I think all history is worth visiting."

Custom Turbo Kits
Custom turbocharger kits are our specialty.
We can fabricate a completely custom, turbo kit for any vehicle from scratch – and we can tune your vehicle as well. A Turbo Worx designed forced induction system will look like a work of art in your engine compartment, and will out perform the competition.
Turbo Worx Custom Manifolds
Another critical component, would be a manifold that features efficient gas flow as well as the ability to withstand extreme temperatures for long duration without succumbing. Every Turbo Worx manifold is constructed from schedule10 304L stainless steel tubes with beefy 1/2″ flanges to ensure they can stand up to anything you throw at them. We are so confident in this we guarantee our manifolds FOR LIFE!!
Turbo Worx Custom Exhaust
In order to guarantee maximum turbocharger efficiency, spent exhaust gas needs to exit the vehicle with as little resistance as possible. Turbo Worx will construct a custom stainless steel downpipe and exhaust system to make sure your forced induction system is functioning at its maximum potential. Constructed from mandrel bent 304 Stainless Steel, all Turbo Worx exhaust systems are designed to stand up to the harshest operating conditions imaginable. Turbo Worx Import Performance exhaust systems are TIG welded and back-purged for the highest possible strength and cleanest look.
Turbo Worx Custom Intercoolers
High air density is the key to producing peak power with any motor setup. One of the best ways to improve air density is to cool the intake air after it has been compressed by the turbocharger, but before it enters the motor. A properly sized intercooler system is essential for any forced induction system, and can be difficult to choose. An intercooler that is too large may slow down throttle response and lower boost pressure by to high a margin; too small and the intercooler may not move enough CFM of airflow to satisfy the engine's demands, and can become heat soaked too quickly, prohibiting reliable consistent temps. Using our experience we will fabricate an intercooler system for your unique needs. Turbo Worx intercooler systems are constructed from stainless or aluminum tubing and high-quality bar and plate style cores.
Looking for liquid-to-air intercooling? Turbo Worx can also custom fabricate a liquid-to-air intercooler system to suit your needs.

The Politics of Plastics: Food Fights Over Bisphenol A
La Tomatina Food Fight
We noted earlier that Consumers Reports Confirms Bisphenol A Leaches From Tin Cans. This didn't sit well with our friends at Stats.org, who responded with Consumer Reports BPA study filled with factual errors. Consumers Reports shot back with Industry reacts to Consumer Reports' BPA report, noting:
Salary costs for STATS are shared with the Center for Media and Public Affairs. [in fact they even share office space] Other documents Consumer Reports has examined show STATS also has received funding from ExxonMobil, a major producer of benzene, one of the components used to manufacture BPA. ExxonMobil also makes a plastic food packaging film containing BPA.
Stats president Robert Lichter denies this, saying no such funding has taken place. He can probably say this with a straight face because the Exxon money went in the other pocket, when he was the DeWitt Wallace Chair in Mass Communications at the American Enterprise Institute, which was funded by Exxon to the tune of $1.6 million.
Meanwhile, Sarah Vogel has written a wonderful article in the American Journal of Public Health titled The Politics of Plastics: The Making and Unmaking of Bisphenol A "Safety", which unfortunately costs fifteen bucks to download, which will significantly limit its distribution. That's a shame, because it is a dispassionate discussion of the debate. She asks two questions:
First, what is the best available science for assessing the safety of BPA? And second, if BPA is unsafe, why was it presumed to be safe for the past 50 years an how did this understanding change? To answer these questions demands a critical examination of the historical process by which BPA's safety was defined and the ways this assumption was ultimately challenged by new scientific research.
BPA was identified as a possible synthetic estrogen in the 30s by a British medical researcher while he was looking for "the mother substance", which he finally found in the hormone DES, used as a treatment for "female problems" until it was banned in 1979. In the meantime, in 1957 BPA was polymerized and turned into polycarbonate, but since its use was primarily as a plastic, "its safety was defined by its commercial use in plastics and accordingly, by its toxic rather than hormonelike properties."
BPA isn't very toxic, and it passes through the body quickly, so the FDA considered it to be safe. But in 1993 researchers looking for an estrogen in yeast found that their experiment was being contaminated by estrogen-like BPA from their polycarbonate flasks, and scientists started looking at the issue of "endocrine disruption" from low doses of estrogen-like substances, at levels way below the FDA's threshold doses. The chemical industry and those involved in low dose research have been fighting ever since. Vogel concludes:
Low dose research is no longer on the margins of accepted scientific thought but is moving into the mainstream of accepted knowledge. And yet, although scientific understanding of BPA expanded dramatically over the past 10 years, its 20-year-old safety standard, based on a threshold-dose model, has remained fixed.
Perhaps the FDA will reconsider that in its upcoming report.

Some people associate innovation with Silicon Valley and computers and semiconductors. But innovation means change and advancement, no matter what shape or form it assumes.
And, to grow your business and beat your competition, you need to innovate on a continuing basis--keep changing and developing new products, services and marketing techniques. But, if innovation occurs randomly and emanates out of creativity, how does one build creativity in the work place? How does the small business executive harness, cultivate and nurture innovation?
1. Examine your organization's purpose. Analyze the profit-making process. If you are a service organization and your customers pay you to make their businesses more efficient, you must focus on developing new and more efficient ways to help them make their businesses more profitable.
If your business entails manufacturing, outline, in detail, the manufacturing process from design to production to marketing to sales to collecting accounts receivable. Draw a detailed flow chart that diagrams your operations. Look for bottlenecks and areas where excess costs and excessive production time is spend manufacturing your product. Then, look for ways to improve. Eliminate waste and non-productive activities which detract from your profit-making process.
2. Encourage Creativity. Give your workers the opportunity to experiment and explore new ideas. Welcome fresh perspectives. Schedule discussion groups and require attendance of workers from different departments. By bringing people together, they get to share their approaches, processes, and concerns. And, by exchanging information and new ideas, your people will develop new ideas. This way, each department receives a fresh prospective from different departments and your organization becomes more integrated. Some companies reward creativity and ideas that increase productivity and profitability (but that could be the subject of another article).

You've Got Your Own
Nathan Amundson doesn't exactly turn into a bundle of joy when he gets his hands on an acoustic guitar. It must be because this world doesn't deserve such a depressive and beautiful melancholy, or because he's one of those who suffer childhood nostalgia, but the fact is that Rivulets - that's the name of his musical project - is composed basically of dusty bedroom folk music, despite being an artist of the best slowcore tradition and crafting his songs with a cool and careful ambience. Of course, it might have something to do with him coming from Alaska, a land that is not specially renowned for it's warmth, and with his friendship with Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker - two thirds of Low and also in charge of Chair Kickers' Union, Mr. Sparhawk's own label - since his eponymous Rivulets debut, released in 2002. Acuarela. 2004.

I love when God stirs my heart so violently that it shakes my stubborn hands into action. Sometimes He's subtle and soft in His encouragements and guidance. Sometimes He is loud and uncomfortable and abrupt in His will. And then there are some times when He so clearly answers the cry of my heart that it is almost eerie–He answers so directly and so specifically that it leaves me wonderstruck.
This is one of those times.
It would not be a typical day if I didn't question my true faith and obedience to the Lord at least a dozen times. I feel like those are natural thoughts for an individual striving to know Christ more, love Christ more and trust Christ more. There is this common misconception that Christians have some supernatural grasp on their faith and their walk with the Lord. But the fact of the matter is, the more you think you have figured out, the less you probably know. Christianity is not meant to be comfortable and "figured out". It is a faith of overwhelming humility and neediness. That constant state of tension is a beautiful thing–it reminds us how little we have figured out. It reminds us how desperately we need Him.
The more and more I have talked to non-believers and believers, alike, the more and more uncomfortable I've become with the state of Christianity today. We are living in an age of hypocritical Christianity. We have churches void of Spirit. We have "Christians" void of faith. And we have lost and hurting people void of Light. On one side, we have people SAYING they love Christ, but living lives guided by this world. On the other side, we have people scorned by the guidance of this world, simply HEARING about Christ's love. But if there is no example being set, there is no Light being shined. If we are only saying and hearing, rather than DEMONSTRATING and WATCHING a world be healed through Christ's love, we all simply find ourselves sitting in the DARKNESS.
We, as believers, are called to be the body of Christ. His hands. His feet. His love in a lifeless world. People need not to simply hear about that love, they need to see it and feel it and know it is real. That is a big responsibility. But that is the call of our lives. One of the most heart-changing sermons I've ever had the privilege of sitting under was delivered by Francis Chan at Passion Conference 2012. In the middle of his message he was telling a story and brought up the fact that God does not listen to all prayers…
–What? Hold on…That's not what I've been told in the past. What ever happened to God hearing our cries? What ever happened to the all-knowing God? The one who loves and listens and answers all of our prayers…? What do you mean He ignores some?–
Chan continued on to address a verse that has since mesmerized me. Isaiah 1:12-19 says…
"I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!"
These verses have weighed so heavily on my heart lately. I constantly cry out to God, yet I ignore Him when He cries out to me. Healthy, loving relationships are not take-take relationships. They are give-and-take. They are balanced and developed in love. I found myself crying out to God the other day. Crying out for His blessings and His adornment in my life. Then I sat down at my computer and pressed play on my iTunes. Suddenly, He cried out, back to me…
The songs you sing My heart has grown to hate them
The meetings of the saints are all in vain
Under steeples marked with crosses I see darkness
For sin abounds under false pretenses
Wake up from your sleeping My redeemed
Remove the evil deeds from My eyes
See the orphan see the widow's needs
Learn to get on your knees and serve each other
If you lift up your hands I will not see them
Even though your many prayers I will not hear
For My pleasure is not in the sacrifices
But in the righteousness of the heart that makes it
Wake up from your sleeping My redeemed
Remove the evil deeds from My eyes
See the orphan see the widow's needs
Learn to get on your knees and serve each other
Your sins are like scarlet, but they will be white as snow
You wear evil like a garment, but I'm giving you a brand new coat
And if you are willing to live by all My commands
You will know Jesus and you'll drink from the Father's hands
Wake up from your sleeping My redeemed
Remove the evil deeds from My eyes
See the orphan see the widow's needs
Learn to get on your knees and serve each other

Stepping out of a comfort zone is something that all organisations one day have to face — whether to guarantee growth, achieve a mission, or respond to a humanitarian emergency. Understanding the 'scope of the unknown' can ease this process, but what information do we need to know? What potential threats will we face? What opportunities are we missing?
This kind of horizon scanning and market entry requires information to understand which markets to consider, who to engage with, where to stay, where to live, and where is safe to operate.
Large corporations can monitor levels of political unrest and violence to identify where green shoots of recovery and opportunity are beginning to take hold. Governments worldwide are facing a gargantuan challenge in keeping an eye on developments on the ground in countries where access is a significant issue.
Foresight is the greatest force. We have invested in partnerships, technologies and skills which mean we can make the most of a wide range of resources to collect data and information — and then fuse this together in groundbreaking ways to create insightful intelligence which can help our clients answer key questions. What do you need to know?
The NGO"I want to safeguard my employees in the complex and dangerous locations in which our work is most needed"
The Government Minister"I want to improve the capacity and capabilities of our national security forces"
The Entrepreneur"I want to know more about specific countries, regions and markets as I look to expand my business safely"
The COO"I want our multinational to be ready for a major crisis so we know how to effectively respond"
The Investor"I want to respond to suspected criminal activity in a powerful but not public way"

Boca Raton teen Rachel Zietz lands on TIME's 'Most Influential Teens' list
BOCA RATON — A Boca Raton teenager who founded her own million-dollar company has another accolade to add to her already-impressive resume.
Rachel Zietz, 16, was named in TIME's annual "30 Most Influential Teens" list. She's the founder and CEO of Gladiator Lacrosse, which started two years ago after Zietz found herself frustrated at the quality of lacrosse equipment she could find.
The Boca-based entrepreneur told TIME she's on track to exceed $2 million in sales this year and reach $10 million by 2017.
Zietz, a student at Fort Lauderdale's Pine Crest School, appeared on ABC's Shark Tank earlier this year, and was singled out by Gov. Rick Scott in his annual State of the State address in January.
"This young business owner now has three employees that help her out while she is in class," Scott told lawmakers in his State of the State address. "Rachel, thank you for helping to make Florida first for jobs."
Zietz attended the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce's Young Entrepreneurs Academy while in middle school, she told The Palm Beach Post in January. Her company makes goals and rebounders, fabricated in China and imported to the U.S.
Her gear can be found online and will soon be sold in many Dick's Sporting Goods stores.

Troubleshooting Instance Recovery Failures
The following issues can cause automatic recovery of your instance to fail:
Temporary, insufficient capacity of replacement hardware.
The instance has an attached instance store storage, which is an unsupported configuration for automatic instance recovery.
There is an ongoing Service Health Dashboard event that prevented the recovery process from successfully executing. Refer to http://status.aws.amazon.com/ for the latest service availability information.
The instance has reached the maximum daily allowance of three recovery attempts.
The automatic recovery process attempts to recover your instance for up to three separate failures per day. If the instance system status check failure persists, we recommend that you manually start and stop the instance. For more information, see Stop and Start Your Instance.
Your instance may subsequently be retired if automatic recovery fails and a hardware degradation is determined to be the root cause for the original system status check failure.

text: Stefan, I wholeheartedly support your comments. We made a conscious decision many years ago, that in retirement, we would support the Cubesat Program by downloading their telemetry, to give something back to the hobby. Being licensed nigh on 50 years ago and being part of the Amateur Satellite Service for most of those, I would like to think that these young Cubesat designers may become the Amateur Satellite builders of the future, but I doubt I that may be around to reap their rewards. Then again I have been mistaken before. Personally I do not care if a satellite has an OSCAR moniker, we just download whatever telemetry is available from the current Cubesat satellites to assist them in their ongoing analyses. This is not the first time this has been raised, as I remember a few years back, Bob Bruninga raising the topic in respect to one of the satellites he was involved in. Best regards, Colin VK5HI. -----Original Message----- From: amsat-bb-bounces at amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-bounces at amsat.org] On Behalf Of Stefan Wagener Sent: Sunday, 13 November 2011 13:14 To: William Leijenaar Cc: amsat-bb at amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: OSCAR or not OSCAR ? Thanks, Cubesats working within the amateur radio frequency spectrum are commanded by licensed ham radio operators with the same rights and requirements as all of us. Many of them use the frequencies to downlink vital satellite information as well as scientific experiment data. All of this is well within the amateur radio service rules and a very positive contribution by our community to science and education. Your question are valid and they need to be addressed in a constructive, supportive environment where the community works together. I would encourage you attend one or more of the many annual cubists conferences and engage these folks. You certainly have enough to offer! Now having said that, cubesats are a wonderful addition, not a threat and show the diversity of our community. I am always amazed by the ignorance displayed and self-proclaimed expert label used by some as an argument to deny parts of our community their right to use small satellites with amateur radio on board. Interestingly, none of the amateur radio operators working with cubesats have ever argued against HEOs or denied the rest of us that right by questioning how and why we use the spectrum! Fortunately, AMSAT NA and AMSAT UK and many others have recognized the potential and the inclusiveness of the community.
