Fall is definitely my favorite season of all time! I'm in Tennessee and it's still 80 degrees so it doesn't feel much like fall here.ReplyDelete

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour 1 Peter 5:8
September 10, 2001
September 11, 2001, about 8:00 a.m.
Most of the long-term members of the Senate and House served on committees that examined the events of 911 and organized all the terrible legislation that followed, like the Patriot Act, the endless war resolutions, and the draconian spying and assault on Americans. Think hard about what has developed since then under both democrats and republicans. War is a racket, war is always by deception, and the permanent political class has organized a "business model" that has become the swamp. Think about your political awareness then, and now.
Here's what the Clinton/Obama swamp–with republican help–created by trading guns and missiles, drugs, laundering money, and overthrowing or destabilizing regimes in the Middle East…on September 11, 2012
Now we should finally realize that the NWO's war is against the American people and our Constitution. There are not two parties, there is one, and they are doing the NWO's business. They delight in dividing us and inflicting terrible harm. It's what the swamp is about, and this day of remembrance should remind us of this fact, and steel our souls for the struggles ahead.
Think about our politicians. They know what's going on and wrap themselves in the flag and patriotic speak, the colors of the parties, the things they work on. Politicians defend the government, not the Constitution. Oath of office? What's that?

We hear a lot about personal branding these days but in Fresh Passion, Michael D. Brown takes the sometimes vague concept and breaks it into a series of easily digestible action items. The subtitle of the book is "get a brand or die a generic" and Brown believes that having a brand is important to executives as well as entrepreneurs.
Before you can perfect your brand you need to be certain about who you are, what you want, and what you can achieve. Do you have the necessary skills and determination? Are your goals aspirational and yet obtainable? What is your perfect day at work like? Brown walks his readers through a series of questions designed to bring focus and clarity.
When it comes to developing your brand, the instructions are similar to those a new company might take. Brown recommends getting a board of "brand" advisors that can advise you in specific areas. He also uses checklists with assignments and check-ins for accountability and recommends scheduling conference calls with yourself. He is a fan of elaborate plans and checklists, all designed to get the reader to better run corporation you. He sees a job interview is a form of customer service.

If you've got gadgets that use external storage, it's always important to buy the right card for the job. But for the most demanding tasks, it isn't always possible to find a card that's big enough or fast enough for your needs.
That could be about to change. Samsung has recently launched some new high-capacity memory cards based on the new Universal Flash Storage (UFS) standard, which promises speeds that are up to five times faster than high-end microSD cards.
Sounds great! But how is it so fast? And what's the catch? Let's explore.
What Is UFS, Exactly?
UFS is a new flash storage standard for consumer electronics devices. It's designed as a next-generation replacement for eMMC (which is used for internal storage in devices like smartphones and tablets) and SD cards (which are used as external storage by smartphones, DSLRs, etc).
The standard is supported by a host of major tech companies, including Samsung, Toshiba, Micron, and Texas Instruments.
The latest version of the UFS spec — UFS 2.0 — could potentially deliver speeds that rival solid state drives. They're certainly faster than eMMC and considerably faster than both SD and microSD cards.
Samsung's internal chips based on this spec include a sequential read speed of up to 850 MB/s — compared to about 550 MB/s in a typical SSD — and are capable of 40,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS), compared to 13,000 in the latest eMMC products.
Some difference, isn't it?
In addition, UFS is more power efficient than eMMC storage. It uses 10% less power when in use and 35% less in daily workload performance.
UFS was used for the internal storage in Samsung's Galaxy S6, S7, and Note 5 smartphones. Samsung has also introduced the first UFS memory cards, with other manufacturers likely to follow in the coming months.
The Benefits of UFS Memory Cards
Samsung's first range of UFS memory cards are based on the older UFS 1.0 spec. Yet even so, they still offer a number of advantages over microSD cards.
For starters, the standard sizes have larger capacities. Samsung's UFS cards start at 32 GB and increase to 256 GB while microSD cards typically max out at 128 GB. Samsung has only recently begun shipping its first 256 GB microSD in the EVO+.
They also have the speed benefits of internal storage. The EVO+ cards promise read speeds of up to 95 MB/s and write speeds of up to 90 MB/s. Indeed, the 256 GB UFS card has read speeds up to 530 MB/s — more than five times faster — and almost twice the write speeds at 170 MB/s.
The faster write speeds are ideal for applications where very large amounts of data are recorded in a short space of time. This includes shooting 4K video (and 8K when the time comes), 360-degree video for VR content, or multiple high resolution RAW images on a DSLR.
The small size is also perfect for mobile devices like drones and action cameras.
The faster read speeds will significantly decrease the amount of time taken to copy that content to a computer (assuming that the computer and the connection to it are fast enough), as well as previewing it within the device, browsing thumbnails, etc.
There could be benefits for smartphone users, too. The slow and inconsistent performance of SD cards meant that external storage was never a great fit for apps. But with UFS cards having "internal storage" speeds — plus lower latency and power consumption — it may be possible to run apps right off the card with no adverse effects.
All of these stats relating to the speed of UFS refers to the theoretical capabilities of the technology, or in other words, performance under lab conditions. Until the cards start being mass produced and used in the real world, we can't say with any certainty whether it'll live up to the promises.
That being said, benchmark tests of the UFS memory used in the Galaxy S6 and S7 devices can give us an idea of what to expect. The data shows that they are significantly faster than Android devices using eMMC storage when reading and writing large files.
In random tests, where smaller files are constantly read or written, the difference is less pronounced — performance is only on a par with other devices. The anomaly in these tests is the iPhone 6s, which uses neither eMMC or UFS storage.
The Downside of UFS Memory Cards
We'll have to wait and see whether UFS memory cards live up to the hype. And that's currently their biggest downside — there are currently no devices that support them.
Even if Samsung chooses to include a UFS slot in the upcoming Galaxy smartphones, adoption throughout the industry will be much slower. There's enough industry support to help it, and demand for larger and faster cards is only going to increase, especially in prosumer devices.
But while UFS cards are of similar size to microSD, the two are not compatible. They don't share the same form factor, and, more crucially, have a different pin configuration. Samsung has reportedly designed a single slot that can hold both cards, telling one Android enthusiast site,
The new UFS cards are not compatible with the current microSD card socket. However, we have developed a socket design that can support both UFS cards and microSDcards. We are working with different partners in the industry on this integration for next-generation devices.
But the fact remains that the widespread adoption of new standard takes time, especially when it is replacing something that is already very well established, as SD and microSD are.
Is UFS the Standard of the Future?
On paper, UFS memory cards have the potential to completely replace the SD card, and serve our never-ending need for more — and faster — storage.
It won't happen overnight though. Samsung has not yet said when the cards will be available, or how much they will cost, and there's still no devices to use them in. So, exciting as it may be, don't throw away your microSD cards just yet.
What do you think of UFS memory cards? Do you need a faster card? Will you be buying one? What gadgets do you think they would benefit most? Sound off in the comments below!

We emailed esales (at) gdpicture (dot) com last Wednesday and haven't heard anything yet. So I am posting here.
We are thinking of purchasing 4 Ultimate .NET Licenses. We would really like to have a x64 version and see that you are planning to have one soon, but not sure what to do. If we buy now and the 64bit version comes out with a new major release v7, then we have to also buy an upgrade. Is the 64 bit version going to be in v6 and when is v7 scheduled to come out?
Do you have a method that you suggest for Red Eye Removal using your library?

A 64 bit release is our main priority.
GdPicture.NET 64 bit should come with GdPicture V7 within 2 - 6 months.
We have not yet decided how we will charge major upgrade. It will be probably between 25 & 40% of the toolkit price or free for Toolkits purchased within latest 6 months.
For Red Eyes correction I suggest you to have a look on the FxRedEyesCorrection method.

One thing that not many people realise is that Judo and many other sports can lead into further educational routes. One of these routes is 'AASE', an Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence. These apprenticeships run alongside more traditional further education.
One of the Academy's ex students and Felixstowe Judo club founding member Ben Caldwell has taken this option. Ben attends Suffolk New College studying a Level 2 BTEC in Sport Science (in which he has just gained an overall distinction) for three days per week and on a fourth day he attends Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge for the AASE program.
The two courses complement each other in that the AASE program is flexible in the order its modules can be delivered so the tutors work closely with the schools / colleges to ensure that pupils are as far as possible studying the same things at both sites at the same time. This has been fantastic for those on the course, most of whom have excelled in their further education.
The additional training that the pupils receive is of the highest order, from tutors and athletes who also tutor degree students. This gives the pupils an insight into University life, making the transition into University so much easier should they wish to take the University route. This additional training and education has enabled Ben to excel in his studies and compete at a national level, holding his own against British squad players.
Ben has recently represented Felixstowe Judo club and medalled at :
Ben also assisted at BUCS supporting athletes and filming the event. The course also runs training days with the British squads that include Olympic and commonwealth athletes.
At all these events he has been up against the best from the UK and abroad, so as you can see Judo is not only a fun way to keep fit and active, it helps gain confidence, it teaches respect, it can improve concentration and it can lead on to further education and travel opportunities.
More details on the AASE Judo course can be found at: http://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/home/microsites/judo1/advanced_apprenticeship.html
AASE has courses in many sports, successful completion of the course will gain the pupil UCAS points to go towards a University application. Whilst these are still being decided on for the judo course it is expected they will equate to about 2.5 'A' Levels.
For more information about Felixstowe Judo Club and to start your judo career please visit our Facebook page, who knows maybe you could represent Great Britain!
Felixstowe Judo Club meets Mondays 5:00pm-6:00pm (all years), at Felixstowe Academy

Having done drug enforcement over two decades, anyone who believes Justin Trudeau when he says "legalization is the best way to keep this dangerous drug away from our kids" is living in fantasy land. There will still be a flourishing black market, as there is in Colorado and Washington states. By allowing anyone over 19 to grow their own pot supplies, children in such residences will have easy access, plus be exposed to dangerous contaminants emitted from the pot plants. In Colorado, young kids are flooding ERs after getting into their parents' pot supplies, especially edibles containing high concentrations of THC. We can expect the same here. Sunny Days are not ahead for Canadian kids!
(If government taxes are too high on pot they'll create the same black market they did for cigarettes by pushing tobacco taxes too high)
Kathleen Wynne is doing a great job of buying people's votes for the coming election in June. With tuitions being free for students, meds being free for youth under 25, and minimum wages being drastically increased, appeasing mostly young part-timers, it's not hard to see that she is trying to reel in the new voters who have just turned of legal age to vote. Never have I seen someone so desperate to maintain power as much as this sorry excuse for a premier. She must know that she has done a pathetic job in her leadership of this province, especially given her approval ratings, having dropped to 20%. Everything that she has promised to the young voters and to the die-hards — unions, teachers or whomever it is that still support her — is nothing more than accumulating debt that will be put on the wallets of those same young people she is trying to buy. These people who are benefiting from her "generosity" must see through this smoke screen and realize that it is they who will be paying for all these promises that this premier will no longer care about if she loses this election. And she must. This province isn't going broke — it IS broke, thanks to our Liberals. The next party will have a difficult time saving this sinking ship. Everyone must realize that even though you may be gaining from one of her promises, you do not owe her anything, especially your vote.
(No politician is "owed" a vote in a democracy. They have to earn it)
Tim Hortons has shown itself to be the Canadian equivalent of a sweatshop.
(That's what Premier Wynne would like you to believe. We don't)
As somebody who is precariously employed and making minimum wage, I too am concerned about the minimum wage rising. I am no better off. I am working less hours yet making the same amount of money. Kathleen Wynne wrongly assumed employees' hours would stay the same or rise, and that's just not the case. However, protesting in front of Tim Hortons or other businesses will do no good either. While I believe protesters have good intentions, it will simply deter customers from going inside the business and in turn will give these locations even more reason to cut employees' hours or positions altogether. The best thing people can do is to frequent these businesses more often and support front-line employees!
(Nah, too logical)

Mt. Vernon Today
Mt. Vernon is owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association since 1858 and has been open to the public since 1860. Before that it was owned by the Washington family, but was in disrepair.
The house at Mt. Vernon is quite lovely, but it is the 500 acres of grounds that make this such a spectacular place to visit (45 acres are open to visitors). You can take a virtual tour of the house on the web if you can't make it to Virginia. You can also tour the grounds virtually. There is so much to do and see at Mt. Vernon – there are tours running constantly on a huge variety of subjects, there are a multitude of buildings to see and then there are several great centers/museums to tour as well. Mt. Vernon could be a week long trip in itself and it is a great place to take kids.
The gristmill
Now since there is so much I could feature from Mt. Vernon, I'm choosing one of the newest attractions – the gristmill:
George Washington first acquired a gristmill when he inherited Mount Vernon from the widow of his half-brother, Lawrence, in 1754. This first enterprise was a "custom mill," where wheat and corn were ground not for sale, but mainly for neighboring farmers and for consumption on the Estate.
In 1770, Washington decided to build a "merchant mill," which began operation the following year. Here flour and cornmeal were ground, not only for use at Mount Vernon but also for sale up and down the East Coast of America and as far away as Portugal and the West Indies. The new mill had two pairs of stones. One pair was used to grind wheat into flour, and the other pair was used to grind corn into meal. It is a reconstruction of this mill that you can see today at Mount Vernon.
The water for the mill came from Dogue Run stream. The flour Washington sold was loaded onto ships from a wharf located on the stream's waterfront.
At this same location, Washington ran a distillery for making whiskey, and a cooperage, where barrels were made for storing and shipping the products produced at the site. Mount Vernon archaeologists began a long-term excavation of the entire area in the spring of 1997, and excavated the Distillery until 2006. The Distillery is being rebuilt and will open to the public in the April 2007.
The website is also a great resource – including teaching resources, the papers of George Washington, the archeology and preservation going on continuously at Mt. Vernon, and tons of in depth information on Washington, his family and his home. As such, I'm also going to feature one piece from the website information. There is a great piece about the building of Mt. Vernon and the men (slaves as well as white contractors) who built the house:
Over the four decades he spent building Mount Vernon, George Washington struggled to acquire the necessary materials and skilled workmen to carry out his vision. With few manufacturing operations in the colonies, Washington was forced to import a wide variety of specialized building materials to complement the more basic items like lumber, bricks, and mortar, that could be acquired from the plantation or purchased from local suppliers. Washington employed an array of workmen to carry out his projects. These included skilled Mount Vernon slaves who worked as carpenters, painters, and brickmakers, as well as hired white craftsmen.
Lund Washington: For almost a decade Lund Washington served as the Mount Vernon plantation manager. During the extended period when George Washington was away during the Revolutionary War, his responsibilities increased to include overseeing a variety of construction projects. It was he who was called upon to carry on the second major expansion of the mansion that George Washington had embarked upon just before he was called away to the war in 1775. Lund apparently did not share his cousin's relish for building, and he seems to have been especially frustrated by the wartime shortages of materials and manpower. George Washington kept in close contact with his manager through weekly correspondence, and their letters back and forth include detailed instructions and advice on the one hand and questions and progress reports on the other.
Thomas Green: For Washington, dealing with the idiosyncrasies of his workers appears to have been an ongoing challenge. The behavior of Thomas Green, a skilled "joiner and house carpenter" who served as "overlooker" of the slave carpenters for six years, typified some of the problems Washington found so exasperating. Green's fondness for drink, his stubbornly independent nature, and his tendency to move from one project to another without finishing, often left Washington fuming over Green's idleness and carelessness. How did Thomas Green manage to keep his job? A shortage of men with his high level of skill certainly worked in his favor. In addition, Green had married Sally Bishop, the daughter of Washington's personal servant, Thomas Bishop. Convinced that Sally and her children would suffer if her husband were fired, Washington's loyalty to the Bishop family compelled him to keep Green employed.
Isaac: Skilled in carpentry and charged with considerable responsibility, Isaac occupied a unique place in the Mount Vernon labor structure. While the great majority of slaves worked as field laborers, many were trained in a variety of building trades and plantation crafts such as brickmaking, carpentry, painting and plastering, spinning and weaving, and blacksmithing. Isaac was in charge of the carpentry shop, which called for both turning skills and bench carpentry. He made spokes for wheels, axletrees for carts, handles for chisels, and fingers for cradling. Isaac also made and repaired sills, plates, posts, and rafters for building frames. By the 1790s, Isaac was directing the other carpenters in erecting simple buildings.
William Sears: English woodcarver William Sears arrived in the colonies in 1752, at the age of 20. He may have been a convicted felon, sentenced to seven years' indentured servitude for stealing clothes. George Washington's neighbor, George Mason, bought the indenture and Sears spent five years creating brilliant ornamental carvings throughout the interior of Mason's home, Gunston Hall. By 1772, with a wife and child, Sears had become a respected, independent artisan. Two years later, he was commissioned by Washington to carve a chimneypiece for Mount Vernon's small dining room. Sears may have provided the design, an illustration from Swan's pattern book, The British Architect. The final result was magnificent, and is considered by many to be the finest single piece of decoration at Mount Vernon.

European clubs negotiate £35million transfer: Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal keen on deal
INTER MILAN and Roma are reportedly discussing payment methods over a £35million deal for defender Kostas Manolas.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal were all linked with Manolas in the Daily Mirror yesterday.
Liverpool are said to be the leading English team in the race to sign Manolas, with the Reds willing to triple his wages to lure him to Anfield.
But the Greece international may not even leave Italy this summer if Inter get their way.
According to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma chairman James Pallotta wants £35m paid over three instalments for Manolas.
However, Inter are hoping to undercut that price by throwing in defender Jeison Murillo as part of a cash-plus-player deal.
Murillo is out of favour with Inter manager Stephano Pioli and is tipped to leave the San Siro club in the summer.
Inter are believed to be pushing for an agreement months before the summer transfer window opens, knowing that financially they may struggle to fend off Premier League clubs.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Inter all want to sign Kostas Manolas
Roma reportedly want £35m for Manolas
Inter Milan are hoping to negotiate down Manolas' (right) transfer fee
Liverpool had scouts at Roma's Europa League clash with Lyon last Thursday, while Manchester United employees are also said to have tracked him over this season.
Manolas signed a five-year, £25,000-a-week contract at Roma in 2014, with Liverpool prepared to offer him a £75,000-a-week deal.
Arsenal are said to have turned down a £35m offer to sign Manolas last summer, which was supposedly down to his former club Olympiakos earning a 50 per cent cut in the deal.

"Buy Organic and Local"
That's the heading of one of the sections in a new book that I am reading, called "The New Health Rules" by Frank Lipman, M.D. and Danielle Claro. It's easier than I expected, each page giving snippets of healthy changes to make in your everyday life. The one I quote above seems quite straightforward, but I thought I would expand on it a bit, as later on this page, the writers urge people to try and eat "hyperlocal" if possible, also known as growing your own food.
That got me thinking, "So, what if I had to produce my own food? What could I grow here, in my own back yard?"
Well, I wouldn't be growing grains, beans (maybe green beans and peas, though), exotic fruits, and certainly not sugar cane. Given the mild climate, there are several possibilities, which include:
- Leafy greens - probably everything from lettuces to cruciferous veggies, although pests can be an issue.
- Starchy vegetables: potatoes, yams, carrots, and beets.
- Poultry: mostly for eggs, but possibly for meat. There is quite a bit of wild game in the area that could be potentially caught and eaten: turkeys, deer, but I don't know how I would feel about cleaning a large catch. I could probably handle fishing once or twice a week, though.
- Goats or sheep - sheep have the allure of producing wool, but I think goats provide more milk. Both could survive by eating the natural vegetation here. A cow would not work out so well, since I don't have a lot of grassland, but someone else might.
- Berries, citrus, apples, and stone fruit (that does include almonds). Also seasonal fruits like tomatoes, squash, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, etc.
- Tree nuts like walnuts, pecans, and pistachios would probably be okay.
- Mushrooms
- Honey - I'm not crazy about the idea of keeping bees, but it is possible, and it would be good for keeping plants productive.
- Grain: I'm not entirely against the idea of growing grain, as my daughter has proved that you can grow it, and in fact, grow many plants from one. It would just take a lot of space and work to grow enough grain ourselves to have enough flour for bread, pasta, cakes, and cookies. Maybe its better to just eat the wheat berries?

>Lest you think nothing has been happening around the Medley household, fear not.
Tuesday night Bryon was helping me frantically clean the house for my work Christmas party coming up on Friday, when he ran across some old flares we had bought when we went to Alaska in 2002. You know, flares, to signal for help in case a giant grizzly bear appeared in our roadside camp and proceeded to eat one of us.
Well the flares had also EXPIRED in 2002. Being a MAN, he decided to shoot them off our back deck about 8:30 pm just to see what they would do.
He ripped the cord on the first one and it pulled all the way out the back of the flare. A dud. He started to bring it back into the house and I told him no way, he should leave it out there in case it had a delayed reaction. As he spun around the thing just broke in half and fell to the deck. No big boom. No problem.
Not satisfied with the results, he picked up the next flare. Did I mention there were four in the pack? He ripped the cord and shazam, the thing zoomed out and arced over the pond in a red blaze of glory. Okay, I'll admit it was pretty cool.
Then, feeling cocky, he got the third flare, ripped the cord and it zoomed straight up into the air and then landed smack in the middle of our trampoline and proceeded to burn a two foot hole in the middle of the jump mat and then set the leaves UNDER the trampoline on fire.
Yes. A two foot hole.
I just could not believe it.
He took the other flare into the garage I guess and I walked out with a flashlight to see the damage. The thing AND the grass was still on fire so I yelled at him to come put it out before it burned the whole dang house down.
So now, I'm trying to figure out if we can buy a new jump mat. I sent an email to the company minutes after the event and a totally humorless drone replied to order it from their website. Seriously, could you not even COMMENT on the fact someone burned a hole in the thing with a flare?
The search continues for a new trampoline mat because I just haven't had time to pursue it.
I'm pretty sure this secures his place in the Niangua Redneck Community…as if it wasn't already.

Sony prices PS4 at $399
June 11 - Sony takes on Microsoft, pricing its new PS4 below Xbox One. Fred Katayama reports.
Like a boxer in its video games, Sony punched back at Microsoft, pricing its new PlayStation 4 console at $399 -- $100 less than the new Xbox One. Sony made the move on the eve of the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles where we caught up with Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Jack Tretton. SOUNDBITE: JACK TRETTON, PRESIDENT AND CEO, SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT AMERICA, (ENGLISH), SAYING: "The price point was something we gave a lot of consideration to and also that value message for consumers and to think if that reaction is any indication, then we really hit the bulls-eye in terms of positive reaction from consumers." Sony drew more cheers when it said the PS4 would run used games and that gamers would not need to be connected online to play. Xbox has drawn criticism for its restrictions on used games and its requirement that players log online. Sony's stock rose more than 2 percent in Tokyo on a down day for the overall market. The videogame business is seen as one of the keys to turning around the company's electronics business. Macquarie Equities Research analyst Damian Thong said, "We now think Sony and its PS4 have the edge over Microsoft's Xbox One.The PS4 offers gamers a more powerful machine at $100 cheaper than the Xbox One..." Globally, Xbox and PlayStation are nearly even in sales. Thong says he now expects Sony to gain share at the expense of Microsoft and Nintendo. But with more people regularly playing games on tablets and smartphones than on consoles, some pundits wonder whether there will even be a next-generation PlayStation or Xbox.

For Immediate Release
China: Release Artist and Critic Ai Weiwei
Crackdown on Dissent Reaches New Depths
NEW YORK - The Chinese government should immediately release the artist and outspoken critic Ai Weiwei and end its arbitrary crackdown on dissent, Human Rights Watch said today. Ai was arrested at Beijing airport on the morning of April 2, 2011, as he was about to board a flight for Hong Kong. Despite considerable domestic and international attention, the Chinese government has refused to disclose where he is detained or the reasons for his arrest. Incommunicado arrests are often the prelude to criminal prosecutions, Human Rights Watch said. "The arrest of Ai Weiwei reflects a new escalation in the current and already severe crackdown," said Sophie Richardson, Asia advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. "Only sustained international pressure can help Ai Weiwei now." On April 6, in what can be read as the first official acknowledgment of Ai's arrest, a newspaper article in the state-run Global Times announced that Ai would "pay a price" for being an activist and that "the law would not concede" to his criticisms of the government.
The government's detention of Ai Weiwei appears to have been carefully planned. On the day he was arrested, Beijing public security officers raided his art studio in the suburbs of Beijing and took eight members of his staff, his wife Lu Qing, and a lawyer friend of Ai's, Liu Xiaoyuan, in for questioning; they were all released later that day. The police seized computers, hard-drives, and other items. State media were instructed not to report on the case, and all references to Ai Weiwei's arrest were censored on internet and popular micro-blogging services such as Weibo, a Twitter clone.
Under Chinese law, the police can hold an individual for up to three days before deciding whether to release him or apply to the prosecutors for an arrest warrant. But invariably the police manipulate exception clauses that allow for up to seven days' and, in limited circumstances, up to 30 days' detention. Police also routinely prevent lawyers from meeting their clients in detention despite legal provisions guaranteeing such access.
Ai's lawyer, the prominent Beijing lawyer Pu Zhiqiang, has so far been unable to see his client, or even to get formal notification of his arrest. Approval of arrest by the prosecutors, a matter of routine in most cases, usually guarantees later indictment, conviction, and punishment, which typically includes a prison sentence. The 2010 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Liu Xiaobo, was detained for a year before he was sentenced in December 2009 to an 11-year term of imprisonment for a series of articles published overseas.
The arrest of Ai, one of the most celebrated Chinese artists, who is currently exhibiting at Tate Modern in London, has prompted a reaction from several foreign governments, with German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle calling on China for an "urgent explanation" of his fate. British Foreign Secretary William Hague has called on the government to "urgently clarify Ai's situation and well being." The European Union delegation in Beijing, members of the European Parliament, and the Australian government have also expressed concern. US State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said on April 4 that the government was "deeply concerned."

Incumbent Alderman Deborah L. Graham is hosting a meet-and-greet at Rutherford-Sayre Park Fieldhouse (6871 W. Belden) this Saturday, March 21, 2015, between 11am and 12:30pm. Remember, early voting starts Monday, March 23, the runoff election is Tuesday April 7 (during CPS Spring Break).
Alderman Deborah Graham's campaign is going negative. Three mailers were recently sent to neighborhood residents attacking challenger Chris Taliaferro for his ownership and participation in a law firm and his campaign contributions. The mailers make a number of allegations which would benefit from further investigation.
The mailers allege Taliaferro will "be a part-time alderman who will keep making money for his private law firm" will alderman. The mailer cites an IVI-IPO questionnaire in which Taliaferro wrote he will spend "a minimum of 45 hours weekly" on aldermanic duties and "will transfer from the day to-day managerial and operational demands of my law firm and transition into a more management role." Mr. Taliaferro will also take a leave of absence from his position in the Chicago Police Department according to his campaign manager. (Ald. Graham did not submit an IVI-IPO questionnaire.)
The ability of a person to have a position or stake in a private enterprise and hold an elected office is a good question. Many of Chicago's alderman and Illinois representatives and senators do have a law practice or other interests in private business. Our own state Sen. Don Harmon, and Alderman Graham benefactor, is a partner at the law firm Burke, Burns and Pinelli, LTD. Rep. Michael Madigan is a senior partner in his own firm and Alderman Ed Burke represents clients in property tax appeals. Clearly there is a precedent here for having a private business while serving as an elected official.
The mailers further contend that Mr. Taliaferro will use his clout so his law firm Nexus Legal Group, P.C. will "make big money". According to Mr. Taliaferro's campaign manager the firm "practices family law: adoptions, divorces and wills. What does the city do that he could steer to his law firm?" Here again we can compare Chris Taliaferro to Sen. Don Harmon, President Pro Tempore, of the Illinois Senate. Sen. Harmon "practices in the areas of corporate and municipal law serving both private and public sector clients." Additionally he deals with "land use and zoning matters". Does this mailer imply Sen. Harmon uses his public office for personal gain? The areas of law which he practices are more suited to private gain from public office than adoptions, divorces and will.
Ald. Graham herself received wages from another job while serving in the Illinois General Assembly from 2003-2010. While earning more than $60,000 per year and receiving a $111 per day stipend as a state representative she also earned a salary while employed by the City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development.
Finally the mailer asserts Taliaferro accepted a donation from a pawn shop and downtown contractor. A $500 donation was made by Crown Royal of 6120 W. North Avenue. Also, a $1000 donation was made by Infrastructure Engineering. Mr. Taliaferro's campaign also received $8,500 from Citizens for Davis (I assume that means Danny Davis) and several contributions from Mr. Taliaferro's personal savings.
Citizens to Elect Alderman Graham received $1,500 from Crown Royal. Yes, the same pawn shop which donated $500 to Taliaferro.
Ald. Graham too has received contributions from a variety of sources. In this election cycle alone a $1,500 donation was made by PLS Financial Services whose business includes check cashing and title loans. A $1,500 donation was made by downtown construction company H. W. Lochner, Inc. A $1,000 contribution from Prestige Food and Liquors of 5439 Madison St. Also, a $1000 contribution from the owner of Sunset Liquors at 5921 W. Division St. Liquor seems to favor Graham. The Associated Beer Distributors gave $2,500 and even Anheuser-Busch gave $1000. Infamously Ald. Graham received a $2,000 donation from convicted drug dealer Frederick "Juicy" Sims prior to Sims receiving a six-figure public grant for a liquor store on Madison.
Citizens to Elect Alderman Graham received more than $50,000 in contributions from Sen. Harmon this year alone.
Chicago politics is a rough game and if you get into it you have to know you will get a little roughed up. It's up to the citizens of Chicago to look closely at all campaign advertising. Let us encourage both candidates to present their visions for Galewood and Austin and their plan for achieving that vision.
(Ald. Graham and Sen. Harmon were contacted regarding this article and did not responded prior to publishing).
There will be a debate between the two remaining aldermanic candidates for 29th ward on Wednesday, March 18th, at 7 pm. The hour long debate will be moderated by former 29th ward candidate Bob Galhotra. The format will consist of an opening statement, questions from the moderator, opportunities for the candidates to pose questions to one another, and quick, rapid fire yes/no questions. Candidates will have an opportunity to make a closing statement. The debate will be at Redeemer Church, 6740 W. North Avenue in Chicago.
Click on the flyer for more information.
Former 36th Ward alderman, and new 38th Ward alderman, Nick Sposato has endorsed 29th ward challenger Chris Taliaferro in the April 7th election. Sposato cites Taliaferro's area home ownership, family and his career in military, law enforcement and law in his endorsement. Ald. Sposato is hosting an open house for Mr. Taliaferro on Saturday, March 14th at 1:00 pm. The event will be at 7158 W. Grand Avenue, Suite E.
The seven candidates running for the 29th ward aldermanic seat have be reduced to two: current alderman Deborah Graham and challenger Chris Taliaferro. Since no candidate won a majority of the votes there will be a run-off election April 7th. The winner of that election will be alderman until 2019.
In the first round of voting Graham received 40.28% of the votes and Taliaferro received 22.66%.
Galewood (generally north of North Avenue and south of Grand from Harlem to Austin) cast 2737 votes out of 10379 votes in the whole of the 29th ward or 26.3%. Montclare cast 567 votes or 5.5% of the total. Local attorney Larry Andolino won the most votes in the two neighborhoods with 1208 but fared less well in the remainder of the ward and will not be on the next ballot.

We apologize for not giving a heads-up here about the 29th Ward Aldermanic Candidate Forum organized by the Westside Branch NAACP last week (Luckily, there's complete CanTV footage available!).
There's another chance to meet all the candidates on Thursday, Feb. 5th at the ANDE's Forum on Impactful Leadership at Galewood Community Church, 1776 N Narragansett, from 7-9pm. As of Tuesday, all candidates aside from incumbent Deborah Graham had confirmed they'll attend.
If you're still in the 36th Ward, There's another forum at 36th Ward Forum at Steinmetz High School at 6pm the same night (Thursday, February 5th).
If you're undecided heading into election day, these events are a fantastic chance to hear the candidates speak and interact with each other. Generally the candidates take questions from the public, and sometimes it's possible speak to the candidates in person afterwards.
Don't forget that in both the Mayoral and Aldermanic elections, more than 50% of the vote is required to win, so even with well-funded frontrunners in most campaigns, it's easy to force a runoff, so a vote for a lesser-known candidate is never a wasted vote!
Mrs. Owens and two small children were besieged in their home near Cortland and 63rd Street (Mobile Avenue near Amundsen Park) in July 1900 by a "savage and wild animal" reported the Chicago Daily Tribune. The animal was described as half-wolf and half dog and appeared from the woods adjacent to the house. The animal had been attempting to kill a horse and other farm yard animals. Mrs. Owens tried to scare away the animal by throwing a flat iron at it and when that didn't succeed poor Mrs. Owens locked herself in the house until the Mr. Owens returned from work. He chased and shot the animal with a shotgun loaded with "duck" after the animal threw "Galewood into a panic". The animal was then "dispatched with an iron bar".
Mr. Owens then removed the wolf's head when he learned a bounty might be rewarded. The County Treasurer presented Mr. Owens with a bounty when the wolf's head was delivered to its office. The Head Animal Keeper at the Lincoln Park Zoo "thought the animal bore a striking resemblance to the Australian dingo".
The article also states Galewood "is in a heavily wooded bit of country, on what was known in the early days as Oak Ridge".

The sky was covered with patches of clouds everywhere, yet i tried to have first shots from the new Astrozap solar filter. The new filter was much better designed to fit on the front of the telescope, with three screws attached, the fit was in just a few seconds.
First i used my 25 mm eyepice at the back of the scope and the visual views were not bad but so very detailed since the earth clouds were moving across the surface of the sun. But the two sunspots and three tiny ones were clearly visible.
Then i attached DMK21 camera and shot an AVI of about 20,000 images. Quickly processed it with AVIStack and Registax and here is the final image, my first from the new filter!
I am happy to see the individual granules on the surface of the sun which i could not have seen with the Lunt60 Halpha solar scope previously. Solar granule is a small bubble in the image below and typically is around a thousand kilometer wide.. that's about the distance from Lahore to Karachi! The bright part is where the hot material is coming up on the surface and the dark boundary is where it is falling down again. These granules are the convection zones on the sun's surface.
The big sunspot in the middle is quite small when you see it on the solar disk here. I very roughly figured the size of this whole sunspot to be about 40 granules, so that would make it to be around 40,000 km wide. Thats like three times the size of our planet Earth. Sun is huge!

Helpful Links | FAQs you should know before replacing an existing entry
Replacing An Existing Entry?
Many of our customers tell us that of all the remodeling projects that they have done, it was changing their front door that had the biggest overall impact.
Take a look at our Before/After Photo Gallery to see some of the transformations.
Not only does a new door transform the outside, it also creates a beautiful piece of furniture for the interior and in many cases brings much needed light into your entryway. Check out our View from Inside Gallery.
Helpful Links:
Here are some helpful questions to consider when starting out:
What is the architectural style of the house (or what would you like for the architectural style of the house to be)?
The entry door is one of the most important architectural elements that define the style of a house. For example, if you want your home to look more contemporary or more Mediterranean, then installing an appropriate door will help to achieve that.
How exposed is the door to the elements? Is there a large overhang?
What direction does the door face?
We love wood doors but if they will not be adequately protected by a suitable overhang then they will not be covered by a warranty. In those situations we encourage you to consider an alternative such as a custom fiberglass door, or a door made of wrought iron.
Do you have your own contractor or installer?
We are delighted to work with your own contractor to ensure that you have exactly the right door(s) for your project. We are also happy to help you to arrange installation (we want this process to be easy for you).
What is the size of the door(s) to be replaced or the intended entrance size?
(hint: there is no such thing as a standard door)
Is there a narrow window right next to the door?
Take a measurement from the outside edge of the window to the outside edge of the door. In many cases it is possible to cut across and replace the door/window with a door that has a matching sidelight.
Do you want the new doors to be installed on the existing door frame or do you want a new frame & trim?
People select a new frame because either their existing frame is old and beaten up or because they would like the frame/trim to be the same wood as the doors and be stained to match.
Before You Come In:
If you have a photograph of your house that you can bring with you that is often helpful in describing what you would like to achieve. If you have seen a door that you particularly like then please bring in a picture if we don't already stock that door we could get one built to match it!

There are some things you just have to have a sense of humor about. Even though they have the potential to be really NOT funny. Diabetes is one of those things for me.
Injecting insulin is a daily necessity for me. I've been doing it for one and a half years now so not long, but long enough to have a ritual that I follow to make sure I'm injecting the right amount, of the right insulin, at the right time. (If you are not familiar with insulin use, the short story is that basal insulin works to accommodate a person's normal day to day living to keep blood sugar in line. Rapid insulin is injected to cover meals. For me, I take roughly 1 unit of rapid insulin for every 15-18 carbs I ingest.)
As we all know, distraction is the mother of most misadventures. So now we come to my story.
In April, I broke my foot and have been on crutches ever since. Right after it happened, my husband had to leave on a missions trip to Haiti, so I had to coordinate rides to work and to church. This type of situation, as you can imagine, put a kink in my fairly predictable morning ritual of testing my blood sugar, injecting basal insulin, getting ready, and driving myself wherever I needed to go.
This one particular Sunday morning, I got up a little later than normal, but no problem, I had my clothes already picked out so that was a chunk of indecision I didn't have to worry about. I tested my blood sugar, was pleased it looked great and proceeded to think about what I could have for breakfast as I loaded my basal insulin into a syringe and injected 18 units. Except...once I had finished injecting and was discarding the syringe, I noticed I had both my basal insulin AND my rapid acting insulin bottles on the bathroom counter.
Hmmm. Surely I didn't just inject 18 units of rapid insulin. I started replaying it in my mind, did I remember seeing the red rim (rapid insulin bottle) or the silver rim (basal insulin bottle) as I loaded the needle? A text from my ride buzzed through, "Leaving in 15 minutes." Ok, deep breath. I figured I would continue to get ready, but I would start testing my blood sugar every 15 minutes or so to see how this was going to play out. By the second test my blood sugar was dropping like a rock.
I immediately started crunching glucose tabs, but quickly realized the futility of how many I would have to eat to counteract my mistake (18 units X 15 carbs = 270 carbs needed). Couple that with the fact that my mouth was as dry as the Sahara and glucose tabs are like fruity chalk, I knew I was getting nowhere that way. Must get to the juice.
My big stash of juice boxes is downstairs. By that time I felt a little wobbly and was concerned going down the stairs on crutches would be perilous at best. I decided to scoot down on my butt and pretty much rolled myself into the kitchen. From there, I grabbed some juice boxes and started going to town. About the third one in I was feeling a little nauseous from the sweetness. I knew I had to keep it down, though, otherwise, I would have to start the carb fest all over again.
About 20 minutes later, I sat alone on the kitchen floor, sweaty hair pasted to my forehead, booted foot laying off to the side, surrounded by discarded juice boxes.
And just then a text buzzed in, "I'm here!"

Holidays Part 2; Paradise in St Lucia
Am writing this at a time of major change in my life- new job/ career which is fantastic but has also been a quite stressful few weeks. So this is the perfect time for me to reminisce on my blissful time in St Lucia last month where I spent time with my mum who lives there. It was an active trip but I enjoyed every second and restored my energy each evening when chilling on my mums balcony which has a stunning view of the sea and famous mountains and world heritage site, the Pitons. Although I love the beach I could never be a holiday beach bum so managed to pack in trekking through the rainforest, visiting the volcano and sulphur springs, attending the St Lucia Jazz festival, going to a fish themed street party and catching lizards with the national trust on Maria Island! I also got to learn more about the work of the Vieux Fort Children's home which is being funded by the Jermaine Defoe foundation. You can learn more about there work on their Facebook page- feel free to add them; https://www.facebook.com/vieux.home?fref=ts. or check out their wesite http://thevieuxfortchildrenssociety.weebly.com/who-are-we.html. Due to the good whether, fresh food and general good vibes I still managed to come back refreshed- albeit a bit tired!
At the hot Suphur Springs on the volcano
At Jalouse beach in between the pitons- its down a steep hill so we took this cute buggy
My grans local beach!
Wild plants, fruit in the rainforest
Stunning view from Mums balcony and the adorable resident dog
Eating Langoustine and turtle at the fish festival
My friend from neighbouring Guadeloupe chilling at my mums local beach
Saw some classic calypso and more modern soca at the St Lucia Jazz festival mini concert in Vieux Fort
The beautiful beach, Lizards and view from Maria Islands where I went with the National Trust to watch their lizard survey. One of the poor creatures got panicked and shed its tail in front of my eyes. I had only just learnt they can do this so was quite stunned!
On a boat ride past the Pitons to Anse Chastenet beach, famous for snorkellig. I saw some beautiful fish but called it a day after seeing a young Barracuda and what I thought was a snake but in fact a yellow eel!
One of my final trips and birthday treat involved a meal at Hotel Chocolat's restaurant and hotel. They only have shops in the UK but the cocoa comes from this plantation. The meal was curry and rice infused with Cacao nibs and it actually went well together. Dessert speaks for itself!
The beauty of the Islands continued to the skies with this incredible cloud formation en route back to the UK. God really is the Great Artist!

Minimizing Adoption Wait Times
How Together We Can Help Grow Your Family Sooner
Of the 300 adoptions we complete on average per year, 75 percent of families complete their adoptions between 1 to 12 months after activation.
Through our own efforts and the flexibility of your adoption plan, together we can help you adopt a child quicker than with most other adoption professionals.
How American Adoptions Minimizes Adoption Wait Times
Our staff works tirelessly to help you find the right adoption opportunity within your estimated wait time through the following:
Advertising – American Adoptions extensively markets our agency to women considering adoption. If you search for adoption online, you will usually find us at the top of your search results. We also advertise in crisis pregnancy centers, Yellow Pages, hospitals, social media and other adoption websites, just to name a few.
Networking – We network with hundreds of other adoption professionals throughout the United States. For example, if a Florida adoption attorney has a birth mother but needs a family, he or she may contact our agency to find an appropriate family for the birth mother.
National Exposure – While most adoption professionals only work with pregnant mothers within their state or region, American Adoptions is a national adoption agency that works with pregnant mothers across the country.
Balance – We monitor the number of adoptions we complete and the number of adoptive families that join our agency to ensure accurate wait times. Some adoption professionals take on too many families at once, lengthening adoption wait times for them all.
24/7 Availability – When a woman considering adoption calls our agency, we always answer the phone. Our Adoption Specialists are on call 24/7, meaning a woman will never receive a voice mail and contact another agency.
How Adoptive Families Can Minimize Adoption Wait Times
One of the biggest factors in determining the length of your wait will be the flexibility in your adoption plan. By being more flexible to certain adoption situations in regards to race, budget, contact with birth parents, medical history and substance usage, your adoptive family profile will be seen by more prospective birth mothers.
The best way to minimize your adoption wait time is to be as flexible as possible when setting your adoption plan. This allows your adoptive family profile and video profile to be sent to more prospective birth mothers.
For example, if you are only open to adopting a Caucasian child, your exposure will be limited to birth mothers who are only giving birth to that race. However, if you are open to Caucasian, Caucasian/Hispanic and Hispanic, you will theoretically have a shorter estimated adoption wait time.
To learn more about American Adoptions' advertising and networking, or to learn more about how you can limit your adoption wait time, call 1-800-ADOPTION today or click the following to request free adoption information.

'I Really Like Earth': Neil deGrasse Tyson Will Not Go to Mars Until Elon Musk's Mother Do it First and Survive
World-class astrophysicist and science figurehead Neil deGrasse Tyson will not go to Mars aboard SpaceX's spacecraft until the mother of the company's founder, Elon Musk, tries the trip herself and return to Earth safely.
During Reddit's "Ask Me Anything" Sunday, a user that goes by the name patopc1999 asked Tyson if he would ever consider joining a one-way ticket to Mars.
"I really like Earth, so any space trip I take, I'm double checking that there's sufficient funds for me to return," Tyson responded. "Also, I'm not taking that trip until Elon Musk sends his mother and brings her back alive. Then I'm good for it."
When asked about his thoughts on the success of SpaceX's Falcon 9 relaunch and landing. Tyson answered "Any demonstration of rocket reusability is a good thing. When we fly on a Boeing 747 across great distances, we don't throw it away and roll out a new one. Reusability is arguably the most fundamental feature of affordable expensive things."
According to a report from USA Today, Musk is planning to send about 100 to 200 people at a time to Mars using reusable rockets. The plan is to send the very first human flight to the Red Planet within the decade.
The travel to Mars will not come cheap. The company estimates that the interested individuals need to pay about $100,000 to $200,000 per person if they want to join the trip. Musk envisions that they could make 10,000 of such trips over the next century.
At present, SpaceX's reusable dragon capsules are being used to send supplies to the International Space Station. The company is considered to be the pioneer of rocket boosters that are capable of returning to Earth and landing upright, making it reusable.
By late next year, Musk plans to send two paying passengers in a private space mission that will travel around the moon using SpaceX rockets.

Follow-up Volvo Maserati 2019 will start a full-scale electricization process
In Volvo released in 2019 to achieve its fully electrified "rhetoric", there is a previous step in the luxury of luxury cars intended to follow this goal.
August 1, according to the British auto site "Auto Express" reported that Fiat - Chrysler (hereinafter referred to as FCA) CEO Sergio Marionne (Sergio Marchionne) recently pointed out in the investor conference call, starting from 2019, Maserati launched every new model will be equipped with some form of electric version. In order to achieve this goal, Maserati will launch the next two new models, the vast majority of the power system research and development funds are invested in the electric.
"We have been reluctant to embark on an electric road Air Suspension until we see a clear way," he added. "We are known as" an integral part of FCA's future strategy, "he added. Development track.
As the demand for electric vehicles and spending imbalance, compared to other mainstream car manufacturers, FCA in the process of electric has shown a relatively negative attitude. In 2014, Marjorie even "exhort" consumers do not buy pure electric Fiat 500 models, because Fiat - Chrysler each sold a pure electric Fiat 500, it is necessary to lose 8300 pounds (about RMB 73,800 yuan).
And now, the car manufacturer has changed the "normal", and gives a very radical plan. Marjorie told investors and the media, from now on FCA will be fully started electrification, by 2020, FCA will have more than half of the models to achieve different levels of electricization, and in this group change Maserati brand will take a major duty of.
"When it (Maserati) completed the next two models of research and development work, its products will be actively to the electric change." Marjorine added that the current product in 2019 after the upgrade, the Maserati will be released Full electric version. "I personally think that they will be able to represent the industry's leading technology level."
It is reported that Maserati's first electric car will be Alfieri, this model debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, according to the current plan, will be released in 2019, and launched in 2020 all-electric version. It is worth noting that the official debut from Carburetor Alfieri has been six years since the time, Maserati's preparation time seems relatively long. In addition, Maserati's first SUV model Levante is also expected to learn from Chrysler hybrid Pacifica models of hybrid technology.
Maserati engineers have said they will not copy samples with Tesla. Maserati's pure electric car will have a branded wild style, adhering to the Maserati violent gene, to enhance the driving pleasure as the core.
In the entire automotive industry to the process of electrification, Maserati is not a precedent. A month ago, Volvo had just released an ambitious electrification program, which decided that all new models launched from 2019 would be all electric or hybrid cars and released five new pure electric vehicles by 2025. This means that the Swedish car manufacturer will end up in the past century with a fuel-driven era.
According to the plan, FCA will be held in early 2018 investor conference, and at that time outlined the future of the Group's specific product planning. However, for Marcheonne, FCA's five-year electrification process will seem to have been no longer in its hands, because the legendary leader has confirmed to the outside world that he will retire in 2019.

HQ: Santa Monica, Calif.
Founding date: 2007
Funding: Undisclosed amount from ITV, projects often funded by sponsors and distribution partners
Employees: 10
Electric Farm Entertainment burst onto the new media scene with its ambitious — if not slightly ahead of its time — animated series, Afterworld. Since then the company has continued to push the boundaries of web video entertainment, such as when it nabbed big-time Hollywood star Rosario Dawson to star in the sci-fi epic Gemini Division, and attracted big-name sponsors to make the series profitable before it even aired. But although the global downturn has meant there aren't as many ad dollars to go around to fund original web series, while other web video pioneers have given up on original properties, EFE has two more high-profile series releasing this fall: Woke Up Dead, starring Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder; and Valemont, a micro-series on MTV that features a unique integration with Verizon. Indeed, the seeds Electric Farm is currently planting promise to reap big rewards for the company down the road. (C.A.)
