Promotional Cycle Water Bottles Will Be Seen on the RoadCycle water bottles are necessary in order to keep a cyclist's body functioning at maximum efficiency. When you exercise, your body uses any moisture available to keep your muscles and organs functioning. Because of this, it is vital that this moisture is replenished. Failure to do so can lead to quite a few problems ranging from exhaustion to illness. There are a wide variety of different factors that can alter how much a cyclist needs to drink in order to function properly. Some of these factors include how hard a cyclist needs to pedal in order to keep competitive, the outdoor temperature, and current physical condition. Because of the factors involved to keep a cyclist performing at optimal levels, many cyclists prefer to keep several water bottles readily accessible if they need to vary how much they drink while they compete. When selecting cycle water bottles, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. First, physical looks are
Get Wholesale Deals From Drop Ship Suppliers - How Drop Ship Suppliers WorkOne of the popular business models that more and more small businesses embrace is the wholesale business. Selling wholesale products are more attractive to buyers simply because they cost significantly lower than those bought in retail stores, malls and boutiques. Because the demand is high, many entrepreneurs find this a viable business. Now, more than ever, is the perfect time to start your own business. Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. The good thing about getting into this type of business is that supply chain seems so simple and straightforward. First, pick out and identify products that have high market and once you find a buyer, look for a drop shipper who can supply and deliver the product to your buyer. There are a lot of branded clothes, apparel, watches and jewelry sold wholesale in the internet for very low prices. To confirm if a supplier is offering the products on a reasonable cost, compare it with two or three more who
Affordable Corporate Gift Items Possible Through Wholesale OrderThe global financial crisis has affected many sectors of society including the major companies. Due to a bad economy, a lot of people and organizations have started cost cutting in as many ways as they can. The good news is that companies that don't want to spend so much on advertising but would like to be widely promoted can turn to wholesale promotional gifts. Through these promotional gift items, a company can make people aware of its existence as well as the products or services it offers. Many companies around the world have acknowledged the importance of these products as an effective yet cost effective advertising strategy. These promotional items are best bought in bulk or wholesale to avail the buyer of a much lower price compared to ordering them by retail. Promotional gifts are great incentives for sales people who reach their quota or for loyal customers. These corporate giveaways are perfect during special events and occas
Popular Promotional Products - Logo Water BottlesLogo water bottles are among the most popular promotional products available. They have been a best-seller in the advertising specialty industry for years - but what is it that makes them so appealing to companies and recipients alike? In a nutshell, the reason so many companies choose to imprint their logo on water bottles is because these items are functional and inexpensive. The secret to a successful promo is to pick something that people can use every day, this way your logo or message gets plenty of exposure. If you can find a product that affords this at a low price (a dollar or less per item), that's a pretty cost-effective marketing tool! Considering how much people pay per-impression with TV or print ads, custom water bottles certainly deliver a nice return on investment. One of the reasons that logo water bottles have been so popular as of late is because of the eco-friendly models that are being introduced. Most of these
Avoid Using Plastic Water BottlesWell you must know that the numbers you are going to see are reflecting the impact of modern habits of drinking water. Although these data may be somewhat questionable and contestable, sometimes if we change our attitude and behavior in consumption, that may lead to benefits for us. Now without wasting time let us look at the facts and numbers related to plastic water bottles. The plastic bottles take about seven centuries before they completely decompose Eighty percent of used plastic bottles are not recycled. Each year in the U.S. thirty eight million plastic bottles used for water go into trash without being recycled It takes ninety million gallons of oil to produce a billion plastic bottles On an average, American people consume one hundred sixty seven bottles of water a year. In Italy every year consumption on an average is of two hundred seventy liters of mineral water and soft drinks

The 2014 MotoGP season marks a key point in the evolution of Grand Prix racing. Next season, all entries in the MotoGP class must use the Magneti Marelli standard ECU and datalogger as part of their hardware package. For the first time in history, electronics have been limited in motorcycle racing's premier class.
It is a small victory for Dorna and the teams; however, only the hardware has been regulated. All entries must use the standard ECU, but the choice of which software that ECU runs is up to the teams themselves.
If a team decides to run Dorna's standard software, they get extra fuel to play with, and more engines to last a season. If a factory decides they would rather write their own software, they are also free to do so, but must make do with only 20 liters to last a race, and just five engines to last a season.
The difference between the two – entries under the Open class, using Dorna software, and as Factory option entries using custom software – is bigger than it seems. Open class entries are stuck with the engine management strategies (including launch control, traction control, wheelie control, and much more) as devised and implemented by the Magneti Marelli engineers, under instruction by Dorna.
Factory option entries will have vastly more sophisticated strategies at their disposal, and manufacturers will be free to develop more as and when they see fit.
The freedom to develop electronics strategies has been a deal-breaker for the factories throughout the four-stroke era. The change in capacity from 990cc to 800cc in 2007 vastly increased the importance of electronics in the overall package, with more and more money going into both the development and the management of electronics strategies.
The combination of a vast array of sensor inputs, fuel injection, and electronic ignition has meant that vehicle control has moved from merely managing fueling to dynamic and even predictive engine management. Engine torque is now monitored and managed based on lean angle, bike pitch, tire wear, fuel load, and a host of other variables.
So it comes as no surprise that Honda is already making threatening noises over the regulations due to come into force from 2017 onwards. Dorna intends to remove the freedom for factories to use their own software from 2017 onwards, with all bikes using the same, spec, Dorna-supplied software, as currently being developed for the Open category.

Wilton is a town in Wiltshire, (of which it was once the county town), England, with a rich heritage dating back to the Anglo-Saxons. Today it is dwarfed by its larger and more famous neighbour, Salisbury, but still has a range of notable shops and attractions, including Wilton House.
The confluence of the rivers Wylye and Nadder is at Wilton. Wilton is a gateway town to the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs AONB, and the NT properties of Dinton Park and Philipps House and Little Clarendon are close by.
Wilton had a market charter from times immemorial but there was conflict with Salisbury when the latter was granted a market charter in 1227. These days, Wiltshire County Council organises a market – in the Market Place – on Thursdays.
The history of Wilton dates back to the Anglo-Saxons in the 8th century AD, and by the late 9th century it was the capital of Wiltunscire, a region of the Kingdom of Wessex. It remained the administrative centre of Wiltshire until the 11th century. Wilton was of significant importance to the church, with the founding of Wilton Abbey in AD 771 and a number of other establishments. In AD 871 Alfred the Great fought and lost an important battle there against the Danish armies, leaving him in retreat for several years.
Despite further attacks, Wilton remained a prosperous town, as recorded in the Domesday book. The building of Salisbury Cathedral nearby, however, caused Wilton's decline, as the new site of Salisbury, with a new bridge over the River Avon, provided a convenient bypass around Wilton on the trade routes.
Wilton Abbey was surrendered to Henry VIII in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and in 1541 much of the estate was granted to the Earl of Pembroke, upon which Wilton House was built.
By the 17th century, weaving had become a large trade, and the carpet industry began in 1741, when two French weavers were brought in by the 9th Earl of Pembroke to teach the local people new skills. Carpet weaving prospered until 1815, when peace following the Napoleonic wars introduced European competition. The Wilton Royal Carpet Factory was founded at the turn of the century, with the help of the then Lord Pembroke, to rescue the previous carpet factory that had fallen into financial difficulty. The carpet factory continued to operate until 1995, when it closed temporarily after a takeover. The factory re-opened, although it was unable to retain the Wilton Royal prefix.
An outbreak of smallpox in 1737 killed 132 people. Local folklore claims that the outbreak was believed to be associated with the witchcraft of the four Handsel sisters, who were summarily murdered and buried in Grovely Wood.
Wilton had two railway stations. One (later known as Wilton North) was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1856 on their line from Westbury to Salisbury, and another (later known as Wilton South) opened by the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway in 1859 on the West of England Main Line from London to Exeter. The arrival of the railways led to increased prosperity. The stations closed in 1955 and 1966 respectively; the nearest station is now at Salisbury.
In 1894 Wilton absorbed the western end of the neighbouring parish of Fugglestone St Peter, the rest going into a new parish of Bemerton.
The headquarters of Land Forces was at Wilton, taking advantage of the huge amount of military camps and the ranges of Salisbury Plain. The title of HQLF has varied several times since the 1960s.
The Church of England parish church of St Mary and St Nicholas was built as a replacement for St Mary's Church between 1841 and 1844 at the instigation of the Countess of Pembroke and her younger son Baron Herbert of Lea, designed by the architect Thomas Henry Wyatt in the Romanesque style, with considerable Byzantine influences. For a small town, the church is enormous, representing the wealth of its benefactors.
The most notable external feature of the church is the 105 feet (32 m) campanile. Many of the materials used in the church's construction were imported from Europe, including marble columns from Italy and 12th and 13th century stained glass from France.

The first problem people had was related to the fact that my instructions demanded that no accounts were opened. This did not allow the platform to have the accurate currency symbols it needs to download the data. Furthermore, if you open and then close an account and then try to download data the program gives you an error about no data being available for download. After a while of tweaking to find a reproducible way to achieve 90% modeling quality backtesting I have been able to done so and made this small video tutorial, after all, one image says more than a thousand words (imagine a video !). Please leave comments saying if it works for you or if it does not. If your data gets corrupted after this for whatever reason (you get mismatch errors in backtesting) just repeat the history deletion step.
If you would like to learn more about the limitations of backtesting, why a conjunction of live and backtesting is necessary to evaluate profitability and how you too can profit from long term profitable systems please consider buying my ebook on automated trading or subscribing to my weekly newsletter to receive updates and check the live and demo accounts I am running with several expert advisors. I hope you enjoyed the article !

Southeast Texas Medical Associates (SETMA) is a privately owned consortium of medical professionals dedicated to providing the best medical care to patients, and with a unique commitment to technology. Unlike many organizations that follow a reactive approach, SETMA anticipates the future of electronic medical record management and patient security and has implemented an innovate set of tools and solutions to stay ahead of the curve.
Just as medical offices store paper medical records behind lock and key, SETMA Chief Informational Officer Richmond Holly realized there was a need for stronger access controls to protect their online systems. SETMA was using industry standard user names and passwords to login to the network, but Holly felt this was not enough to protect this critical information. User names and passwords were problematic as they were less secure and cumbersome for the doctors to remember with increasingly longer and more complicated passwords. Holly worried because he suspected some users were writing down or sharing login information - a big security risk.
Richard Holly explains: "Security is a big thing for us. The majority of the healthcare industry has been lax in securing networks. Although there is no current regulation that requires two factor authentication, we wanted to lead the way, and go above and beyond what is necessary to protect our patients. Not only were we using shared logins for all exam rooms, which wasn't secure, but our physicians still had to use separate user names and passwords to login to various applications every time they went to a new patient room. It was tedious for our staff to remember all the complicated passwords and we didn't want our patients to see our processes as anything less than seamless."
Holly and his team evaluated several solutions, but liked the idea of two-factor authentication - something you have (token or smartcard) paired with something you know (PIN). They chose Gemalto's IDPrime smartcards for security reasons, but also to improve efficiency and convenience. In addition, it ensures physicians don't leave a computing device with an open session.
It was easy to deploy smartcards with SETMA's existing Microsoft environment, making the smartcards easy to deploy and simple to use with no need to install or maintain any extra software or middleware. The smartcards were also integrated with door security at SETMA's four clinical locations, making a converged badge for physical and logical access. For the management of the smartcards, SETMA chose the vSEC:CMS S-Series application which allowed their IT administrators to quickly deploy digital identities to the smartcards assigned to the staff. Using the vSEC:CMS S-Series application, the complete lifecycle of the smartcards could be managed from one central application.
Using a SETMA physician as an example, here's how it works:
Richmond Holly, Chief Informational Officer, explains: "The patients think it's the coolest thing. They see our use of the smartcards as going the extra mile to protect their data. From its inception, SETMA has prepared for the future of healthcare with technology, backed by strong security solutions. We're confident our solutions not only meet government regulations, but far outweigh those standards, and we're proud to be a pioneer."

Once a physicist: Marianne Dyson
Marianne Dyson is a freelance writer and former NASA flight controller.
Why did you choose to study physics?
I became fascinated with space through reading science fiction and watching the Apollo missions. Because there were no women serving as astronauts or flight controllers at the time, I assumed those jobs were not open to me, and therefore planned to become an astronomer instead. I graduated with an honours degree in physics from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro in 1977.
How did you become a flight controller?
I had finished one year of graduate work in space physics and astronomy at Houston's Rice University when NASA hired its first female astronauts. When I heard they were accepting applications for flight-control positions, too, I applied, and was hired in January 1979 as a programmer/analyst to do flight planning. I worked on the first three Space Shuttle flights in a flight-control support position, and then became a Flight Activities Officer in Mission Control for STS-4 and STS-5, as well as planning for subsequent flights.
What led you to write books for children?
My husband and I met at Rice, and when he also went to work for NASA, we became the first married couple in Mission Control. Flight controllers' schedules are at the mercy of orbital mechanics and unpredictable system failures, so without any affordable overnight day-care options, I decided to leave NASA to work part-time as a consultant and look after my children. While home with the kids, I took a correspondence course from the Children's Institute of Literature. That led to my first professional sale: a non-fiction article on getting a job with NASA. Soon after that, I sold my first poem and my first two fiction stories. I also became editor of several space newsletters and a frequent contributor to Odyssey magazine. My first book, Space Station Science, was published by Scholastic in 1999.
You have written for adults as well. Which audience do you think is more demanding?
Children, definitely! Articles and stories for children may appear simple, but they are extremely challenging to do well. Whereas adults will patiently skim over "boring" details they do not care about, children require new terms defined, new concepts explained through examples, and art or photos that grab their attention and add to the piece. Activities for children – such as an electroscope activity I did for Odyssey – must be tested with careful attention to safety and clarity in the directions. Also, articles or books for children may have strict vocabulary, word limits and conceptual constraints depending on the target readers. It is not easy to answer the question "How do stars shine?" in less than 500 two-syllable words for a child who thinks energy comes from an electrical socket and mass is another word for weight.
What is most difficult about your job?
I have one of the greatest jobs in the world. I am in control of my schedule, and my commute consists of going upstairs to my desk. But the hardest thing for me is to justify spending my time doing research and writing. I am constantly wondering if I should take a consulting job or go back to aerospace and earn at least three times more than I will get from writing another book – assuming I sell it. But my husband and my friends in the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators continue to support and encourage me, and the awards I have received have built my confidence that I actually have some talent for this job. If my work makes a positive difference in some young lives, even just to bring a spark to an otherwise boring day, then I will know it has been totally worth it.
What are you working on now?
I am researching a non-fiction book based on my experience as a flight controller and also writing fiction novels for children and young adults with science themes. My first novelette, about an astronaut with Alzheimer's whose memories are key to saving a historian on the Moon, is in the July/August issue of Analog Science Fiction magazine. I also continue to support the Rotary National Award for Space Achievement Foundation, review children's books for their science accuracy, volunteer for the National Space Society, and discuss life, writing and martial arts with my friends on Facebook.

Newcastle's MP to stand again and fight the June election
19 Apr 2017Newcastle-under-Lyme's Labour MP Paul Farrelly has confirmed today that he will be contesting the snap election called by the Prime Minister for 8th June.
Mr Farrelly, 55, has represented the town - where he was born and bred – since 2001 and this will be the fifth time he has fought a general election in Newcastle.
In 2015, he held on with a majority of just 650, after being heavily targeted on the Conservatives' so-called '40/40 list' of constituencies to win or hold. Tory spending in that election was estimated at around £150,000, around ten times as much as all the other parties, including Labour, combined.
In the House of Commons vote this afternoon, Mr Farrelly also challenged Theresa May over her U-turn in springing the election, out of the blue, after repeatedly dismissing any suggestion of an early poll before 2020.
'The Prime Minister has pledged time and again not to call an early election,' he said in the packed Chamber.
'In her Easter message, she talked greatly of her Christian values. Can the Prime Minister explain, then, why she has such a loose and complicated relationship with telling the truth?'
Asked by the Speaker to withdraw what he called 'un-parliamentary language', Newcastle's MP said that he would 'reformulate'. 'Why does the Prime Minister have such a complicated and loose relationship with clarifying to the country her true intentions?,' he asked.
The Government motion passed with over 500 votes, more than the two thirds needed to go ahead with the election under the Fixed Term Parliaments Act from the previous coalition.
The 50-plus Scottish Nationalists abstained, along with several from the Labour side, while Mr Farrelly joined 13 MPs – including Northern Ireland's SDLP – in voting against.
'I think this election, just two years after the vote in 2015, is opportunistic and unnecessary –and two weeks ago the Prime Minister apparently thought the same,' he said afterwards.
'It is also divisive and poses dangers to the unity of the United Kingdom, not only with the Scots Nats wanting to break away, but with the peace process in Northern Ireland.'
'If I'm asked on the doorstep, 'why didn't I vote against, then', I will say that I certainly did. But, regardless of this, we're going to fight the Tories as hard as we can – on the state of our local NHS, on social care, on cuts to school budgets and their divisive grammar schools policy, on low pay and exploitation, on what they they'll do to universities and student fees.'
'This election is not a second EU referendum, however the in/out PM wants to frame it. The UK will be leaving, but we need proper scrutiny by a strong, not poodle Parliament to make sure we get the best deal. There should be no blank cheques, as Theresa May wants.'

Sometimes I wonder what our life would be like now if I had decided to have a career instead of becoming a stay at home Mum? I believe everyone has the right to choose and both paths have their pros and cons. I thought I was doing the best for my child when I made the decision to stay at home and look after him. I couldn't bear to be apart from him all day. I wasn't expecting this decision to be a large factor in us being made homeless.
Nineteen years ago, I was two years into a four year degree course at Oxford Brookes University. I studied Hotel and Catering Management and day dreamed of becoming the next Conrad Hilton or at least whoever it was who invented the Travelodge! Then I found out that I was pregnant and suddenly my dreams changed dramatically.
I was twenty one and wanted nothing more than to stay at home with my unborn child, this was only strengthened when J was born in June 1995. My husband P agreed, we had only been together a matter of weeks before I fell pregnant, so I was pleased we had the same views on how to raise our child. That said I didn't make the decision lightly and it hasn't been easy.
At twenty one I'm not sure I realised just how difficult life as a stay at home Mum would turn out to be. Money was perhaps (and still is) our greatest issue, P had just graduated with a building studies degree. Sadly in 1994 building jobs were scarce and no one wanted to employ him without experience, so he struggled to find a decent job. During my pregnancy, he would sometimes work for weeks on end without taking a day off, just to keep the money coming in. So I worked as a Christmas temp at Debenhams in Cardiff during the first trimester of my pregnancy but no full time position was offered. As my bump became obvious no one wanted to employ a visibly pregnant girl and immediately sign up to pay her maternity leave.
At seven months pregnant we moved from our damp house in Newport, which came complete with free mushrooms growing on the kitchen walls (!) to North Wales. At first all was idyllic we lived near the coast and there were no more mushrooms hoorah. However, we had moved in with a friend from University and as nice as she was it was tough not having our privacy. This only worsened when J was born and soon hormones and baby blues left me feeling so down we decided to move to Durham. This time we shared a house with my best friend and hoped things would be easier. J was two months and already on his second home. In hindsight we had jumped from the frying pan into the fire. We are still best friends today, but at that time in our lives a party girl and a new family did not make great housemates. P had also only been able to find part time work. So before our friendship became irreparable and with the hope of a full time position for P we moved again …..
J was by now approaching six months and our only option was to move in with my parents and two of my sisters in Oxfordshire. I knew this probably doesn't sound a smart move and you would be right. My relationship with my Mother had never been brilliant but it was a kind offer and as we had no savings, we couldn't afford to rent privately.
Six months later my Father had a new job in Canterbury and my parents moved out. We stayed at their old house, but as soon as it was sold we were unfortunately homeless. Throwing ourselves on the mercy of South Oxfordshire council we were given temporary accommodation in a council run Bed and Breakfast.
Perhaps understandably this was my least favourite house, we shared a three bedroom terraced house with two other families. Privacy went out of the window and there were often long queues for the only bathroom. On the plus side there was usually someone around to talk too and as part of the Bed and Breakfast deal the landlord would pop round occasionally with a free box of cornflakes. I'm digging deep for the benefits here!
Six months later when J was 18 months old we were finally in our very own home. We had a two bedroom housing association flat and at long last it was all ours. We still struggle financially today, J is now 18, but I don't regret my decision to become a stay at home Mum. I did what I thought was best for my child and I stand by that. Although sometimes there may be the teensiest falter in my resolve when our credit card bill arrives!

Ginnifer Goodwin is one of the main actors of Once Upon a Time, portraying the roles of Mary Margaret Blanchard/Snow White and Queen Snow.
Goodwin was born in Memphis, Tennessee. Her mother, Linda (née Kantor), is a former educator and "stay-at-home mom" who later worked for FedEx and Apple. Her father, Tim Goodwin, formerly owned and operated a recording studio. Goodwin changed her name from "Jennifer" to "Ginnifer" to distinguish her name, and to assist in pronunciation of her name in her regional dialect. Her younger sister, Melissa Goodwin, is a stop motion animator on shows such as Robot Chicken, on which Ginnifer has also appeared as voice talent.
Her father is Christian with Welsh ancestry, and her mother is Jewish. Goodwin was raised attending synagogue on Saturdays and Unitarian church on Sundays. She was both baptized and had a bat mitzvah service. In her youth, Goodwin was affiliated with the North American Federation of Temple Youth, and was active in BBYO at the Jewish Community Center in Memphis. She went to school at St. Mary's Episcopal School in Memphis, Tennessee. She then graduated from Lausanne Collegiate School in 1996, then attended Hanover College (majoring in Theater) for one year before moving on to earn her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Boston University. While a student at BU, she performed in numerous student short films, as well as several college and local stage productions. Goodwin was given the "Excellence in Acting: Professional Promise Award" by the Bette Davis Foundation, and graduated with honors. After her time at Boston University, she studied in England at Stratford Upon-Avon's Shakespeare Institute, in conjunction with the Royal Shakespeare Company. The following year she earned an "Acting Shakespeare Certificate" at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Goodwin first had roles in the popular NBC television programs Law & Order and Ed before appearing in the Comedy Central television movie Porn 'n Chicken. She later had substantial roles in the films Mona Lisa Smile, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!, Walk the Line — in which she portrayed Vivian Liberto, Johnny Cash's first wife — and Birds of America. She also played Dori Dumchovic in the dark comedy Love Comes to the Executioner. Goodwin played a leading role as Margene Heffman, the third wife in a polygamous family, on the HBO original series Big Love, which concluded on March 20, 2011. Goodwin has recurring voice roles in the Cartoon Network show Robot Chicken, the animation of which her younger sister Melissa Goodwin is involved.
In 2008, Max Mara honored Goodwin with a "Face of the Future" award, an award recognizing up and coming women in film. Goodwin starred as Gigi in He's Just Not That into You, which was released in February 2009. For this role, she received a nomination for the People's Choice Award for Breakout Movie Actress. In April 2009 she began filming Ramona and Beezus (playing "Aunt Bea").
Since 2011, Goodwin has played a leading role in the ABC fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time. She plays both the fairy tale heroine Snow White and her real world counterpart, schoolteacher Mary Margaret Blanchard. Goodwin voiced Judy Hopps, the rabbit police officer and main protagonist, in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 2016 comedy film Zootopia.
Goodwin dated actor Chris Klein for two years before breaking up in 2008. She later started dating actor Joey Kern and they became engaged in December 2010. They ended the engagement in May 2011. Goodwin subsequently began dating her Once Upon a Time co-star Josh Dallas in fall 2011. Goodwin and Dallas became engaged in October 2013, and married on April 12, 2014 in California. Together, Goodwin and her husband have two sons, one born in 2014 the other born in 2016.
In 2013, Goodwin stated that after leaving Memphis, she "...up and left Judaism for a very long time," and that, "For 10 years, there was nothing. No ritual. No tradition. No community." She later reconnected with her faith, and has said, "I was a Jew by birth, and now I'm a Jew by choice."
In May 2017, it was announced that Goodwin, along with Dallas, would not be returning as series regulars for the seventh season of Once Upon a Time. However, Goodwin revealed that both she and Dallas would return in whatever capacity they could as recurring guest stars.

Hey ya'll! I decided that I wanted to record one of my favorite piano pieces, 'The Skater's Waltz' and so I did. :D It took three tries (the first time I horribly botched it up because I forgot to warm up, and the second time I was halfway down the last page when the phone rang. *facepalm*) but I did it! :) I hope to have it up sometime soon.
Oh, and uh.... those are my miracle skates in the picture above. I had been praying and praying for ice skates (and I have to admit I prayed for the pretty white ones. :D ) for several months (almost a year) and we found them in the perfect size for an amazing price at Goodwill (I love that place!)!

Frank Martiniq - Lovelane Tool
SA005 is destined to become a vinyl collectors' must-have. Frank Martiniq explores a whole new sonic identity on this unique 12", forging together off-kilter beats and fists full of atmospheric compression. "Blast Corps" opens the EP with a surge of delayed baseline. Crispy static rises from below and echoes swoop and simmer beneath the full blooded base. It builds insistently, the 4/4 structure is infused with far off blips and the dusty sizzles of low-pitched white noise. On "Dark Star" warm dub keeps the sound organic. It's elemental, the baseline seems enormous enough to have a gravity of its very own and the other elements pull together around its weight. It teases, the breathy elements twitch, fidget, become fully formed but refuse to drop.
>Selected Feedback
- Carl Craig Deep 'n Good.
- Sven Vath Frank Martiniq like I never heard before. Good!
- Surgeon I really enjoyed this ep. I will play it for sure.
- Speedy J 5 out fo 5. Awesome dark trippy stuff!!! Digging it!
- Philip Sherburne (The Wire / Resident Advisor) "Dark Star" is really cool, love the half speed feel. And the way "Blast Corps Tool" develops is immense.
- Per Bojsen-Moller (Little White Earbuds) Loving the dub elements of "Dark Star" fused with something a bit malignant and sinister. The military feel to Lovelane works really well too.
- Drowned In Sound Both "Blast Corps" and "Dark Star" are great.
- Tsugi Very powerful and devastating "Blast Corps". Very nice interpretation of the dub techno format on "Dark Star". As a whole, the EP is a very personal interpretation of the techno genre.

The essence of every shopping transaction is social. Just consider what, where, when and why we decide to make a purchase online as well as off. Every decision is driven by relational factors whether we want to believe it or not.
A recent report from FFP Global states that: "online shopping is moving from a transaction mentality to one that embodies discovery, entertainment and social bonding experience."
The report goes on to list five key e-commerce trends for 2010:
1. Smarter Mobility:
Smartphones have continued to grow due to their wider screens and applications. Mobile phone and handheld devices will see more applications to help drive ecommerce sales.
2. Fulfillment Rules:
Retailers will begin to consider "regional fulfillment centers" due to rising fuel costs and the demand for quicker delivery times.
3. Customer Service:
Consumers will begin utilizing an ever increasing number of communication channels: i.e.: texting, accessing information, free expression, immediate feedback, etc. All of these pose a challenge that e-retailers must take seriously.
4. Relevancy is Virally Important:
E-retailers are starting to become more than suppliers of goods and services and must proactively develop a personality that market segments can accept. They must listen; actively engage in conversations with their current and potential customers and more.
5. Business Intelligence meets Business Process:
In 2010, businesses will need to commit to the information in their data banks to create marketing and sales business processes to help provide them a competitive advantage.
According to a recent Razorfish report, "65% of consumers report having had a digital experience that either positively or negatively changed their opinion about a brand." Additionally, "97% of that group said that their digital experience influenced their decision whether or not to purchase a product or service."
"Consumers are evolving quickly. Social Commerce is demanding that brands invite their customers to the "dinner table" and engage, listening, learning, and navigating new ways to facilitate need. Attention to detail in service and fulfillment remain cornerstone attributes for a positive "buying" experience. Give your best customers more benefits not less."
Is Money Social?
People work long hours to earn a living. A large percent of what we earn goes to consumable products and services that sustain our lives and quality of life. Earnings are personal and enable us to sustain and enrich our lives by how and what we spend our earnings on. Part of the enrichment process comes from relational experiences that happen from transactions.
Consider what the relational experiences are from shopping:
1. Brands propagate messages aimed at getting attention to our relational attributes which identify our likes, dislikes, wants, needs and affinities.
2. When attracted we engage in examining the message and the related value and affinity of the proposed proposition.
3. Relationships are influenced by intent. If the message and subsequent experience isn't "socially oriented" then you lose the audience because there is no enrichment.
4. If buyers don't consider your environment and the interactions of the shopping experience enriching then they will seek other options.
5. If the value of your proposition doesn't include enrichment to the social engagement then you lose the transactions.
Whether online or off in order to enhance your transactions you must first enhance the social experience. Money reflects social engagement and experience.

Times of India 24/5/07 Chief Secretary cold to whistleblower case
I am Jayashree J.N, married to an IAS officer M.N.Vijayakumar of Karnataka Cadre who has served in Karnataka for the last 25 years. He is a Principal Secretary Grade officer.
If the site appears too personal it is intended to be like this as people who want to support us should know very clearly what we are
My husband is continuously fighting corrupt practices in the system. As there is harassment to my husband for exposing the corrupt practices of the senior officers, and as the harassment is silently watched (or more probably supported) by the head of the bureaucracy,.
RTI Kills Corruption
Our Strategy
Attack the bureaucrats who conspire with politicians to loot the country so that it becomes almost impossible for any politician to make wealth by corrupt means by cheating the public using willing corrupt bureaucrats of his choice
Get a ruling that the requirement of every government SERVANT to work with ABSOLUTE INTEGRITY allows him to whistleblowing. When a large number of honest officials are freed from the fear of harassment by the mighty corrupt , major changes to acheive corruption free services becomes possible
Corruption is Evil
What Are You ?
I also decided to take up his causes.To know my husband's style of functioning in using technology for increasing transparency. read this
I have extensively used RTI Act to expose dereliction of duty by the Chief Secretary in handling corruption issues..
My husband has continued his efforts to attack corruption at the root without being afraid of the threats he received and harassment meted out to him. From September 2006 to February 2007 my husband has been transferred six times in six months, each time for reporting serious corrupt practices by senior officers. He has also informed the Chief Secretary in writing that he would like to watch to what level the corrupt would be protected and then approach the CAT and other Authorities. He hopes to get decisions from appropriate authorities that the requirement of absolute integrity in Service Rules also provide protection to the Whistle Blowers. Because of this he has not gone immediately to the CAT and there is another major reason which he will be revealing at appropriate time. As long as Government servants with integrity are threatened , there is no way corruption can be contained. He wants publc pressure to be built to either for the immediate enactment of the The Public Service Law or at least for immediate enactment of provisions relating to protection of Whistle Blowers .
Recently after he took charge as Regional Commssioner, Bangalore (but was transferred within 20 days after posting) he introduced a system using the provisions of the Right to Information Act in an innovative way, where in public are allowed to see files without making any application between 2.30 pm and 5.30 pm on every second and fourth tuesday of every month.He also planned to make web viewing of the file. These developments threatened many corrupt people and he was transferred just 2 days before the launch of the program . However, his efforts have been widely reported and it is hoped that citizens will demand for its operation.You can visit the related website here and the latest here to know how he is fighting against corruption in his latest posting in spite of not having any facilities.
Most of the RTI groups and websites address corruption at lower levels. There are hardly any groups dealing with corruption at higher levels. I thought there is a need to provide a platform for any person wishing to fight corruption at high levels and provide assistance based on the rich experience my husband has in fighting corrupt practices of his senior officers and I am aware of most of them as I have also taken up some of the issues raised by him independently using the RTI Act. This site gives details of his continuous struggle against corruption and also details of what I am doing to fight corruption..
This website has the following main objectives:
To provide a platform for any person who wishes to fight corruption at higher levels and in particular the root of corruption
To provide help to those who have knowledge of corruption but are afraid to take further action. If for any reason, such a person is unwilling to take up the corruption issue, to make arrangements to take up the issues on behalf of such a person.
Create awareness to initiate a movement to demand corruption - free service as a Fundamental Right
To create a network of like minded people to fight corruption at high levels and also proactively join with similar organizations
To share the experiences of using the Right to Information Act in fighting corrupt practices at high level and also provide links to similar actions taken up elsewhere in the country and rest of the world
From the experiences of my husband , to achieve the above, there is an immediate need to do the following to help honest officers to work without being intimidated:
To get a Ruling that the requirement of absolute integrity under the Service Rules already allows Whistle Blowing. In view of this to hasten the enactment of the Public Services Bill
To help to make better provisions for whistle blowers under the Public Services Bill
To make the Act applicable to even State Government Officials immediately and not to give any discretion to State Governments in this regard

Adapted from José Andrés on Delish
1 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the egg, buttermilk, and olive oil until you have a smooth batter, then stir. Be sure to not over stir--it'll make the pancakes tough and flat rather than being light and fluffy. Lastly, delicately fold blueberries in to the batter.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat. Ladle 1/4 cup of the pancake mixture into the pan and cook until golden brown. Flip the pancake with spatula and cook until golden brown on the second side. Transfer the pancake to a warm oven. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.

May I thank the recycle collectors for leaving our back street like a tip every fortnight.
After today's collection, I went out for the box to find, yet again, cans, meat trays, plastic bottles and cardboard strewn around.
I, for one, am sick and tired picking up after them. We are in a nice area and our backstreet is tidy apart from when they have done their fortnightly visit when the aftermath looks like someone has just emptied their recycling all over.
Is it too much for them to bend their backs and pick up what they drop as I bet it isn't left in that state outside their own homes.

Those Adorable Sheep
I saw this pattern on Ravelry , I immediately fell in love with it. I browsed through some of the finished projects, I love the creativity! One knitter used black yarn for the hat and the sheep were knit in different colors, blue sheep, yellow sheep, red sheep…the look was striking!
I tend to choose colors similar to what the designer had used… I have to say that this project didn't require a lot of yarn. Both of my hats were knit with left over yarn. I love when a project comes along and I'm able to use my half skins or quarter skeins of yarn.
This purple and very dark blue (it looks black) hat is going to keep someone's head toasty warm this winter…❄
I didn't have a pattern for this hat, it evolved in my hands… I enjoy stranded knitting, I've got just a few stranded knit projects under my belt. That's sure to change…
Here is a crochet project I did a few weeks ago. I'm not very adept at crochet, I just feel like I'm all fumblie 😳, the crochet hook and yarn just feel foreign to me. So on this day, I dunno what came over me but… I wanted some flowers to put in this wine bottle. I got some twigs to use as stems for my crochet flowers, grabbed my crochet hook and some yarn and an hour or so later I had my flower 🌸
Until we meet again… "Knit like a rock star" 😊

Kemper Norton - Working
Well, we at An Idiot's Guide To Dreaming (it's mostly me now, tbh. I don't know where other guys have gone) have been awed by the presence of Kemper Norton ever since the heady (ahem) 'silver-age' of Blogs (well, before that; me and Kemper go waaaaay back, heh) when many people even questioned his identity - it was assumed he was Joanna Newsom, for a time* - and now, of course he needs no introduction, having thrust himself into the front of a pack of very hungry avenging folk angels. But still, whether he needs it or not, we'll keep the promotions coming because he's one of us and in this increasingly antagonistic and fuck-everything time that;s gotta mean something...
Plus, he's getting better and better, the crafty little spanner...
