SexThat is the fast, easy, single-word, off-the-cuff answer to sum up the difference between a "relationship" and a "friendship."
The question is "what does the phrase 'friends with benefits' mean to me...?"
But wait...
I am approaching this question as a Septuagenarian ~ I am 70 years old and my perspective is different from that of a 20-year-old.
My last physical relationship ended in January of this year. But that is not as much of a problem as you would think. My sexual prowess has been waning over the last few years, and erections are fewer and further apart (much further apart) and I sometimes speculate that may have been why it ended.
I can ~ and do ~ fill up my days and waking hours. The pendulum swings from too busy to too distracted (read my article about Parkinson's Law), and there's a few things I worry about in my spare moments.
My life is not empty.
I have Meetups that fulfill social space and SCORE that fulfills a need to volunteer. My involvement with the Pinellas Genealogy Society gives me opportunities for social interaction and technical focus and serving with other people in a greater purpose.
What I do miss are the preparations of going to bed with someone, the intimate contact of sleeping with them and sharing morning coffee on the downstairs porch.
Now, the day can begin....

"We took some computers into the camp as they now have access to the internet through a fairly new community center who has satellite access and solar power. Last fall we had especially connected with Grace and Richard who are similar ages to our own children. Our intentions are that we can assist them in gaining an education to continue what they had begun back in their homeland. At this point the education offerings are minimal, but we hope to further this by supplying them with computers and hopefully other programing in the future. It was wonderful for our own grown children to meet and learn of the situation there, but to assist them with the new computers was quite exciting.
We also observed some improvements and answers to prayer in just 6 months since we were there. "The cries of the people have been heard!" Rev. Scopas said. He is a lead Pastor over 35 churches in this regional camp. Now there are 3 locations within this area camp (which has 6 sections), at which they can obtain water. They have also established a local center in their community for the provision of rations that limits the distance each person has to walk to obtain their UN rations. This is a huge answer to prayer.

Robert Rauschenberg American
Published by Universal Limited Art Editions American
Not on view
Often considered a forerunner of the Pop Art movement, Rauschenberg has been engaged with the print medium since the early 1960s. His work, which incorporates found objects with expressionistic marks of paint, reflects his guiding philosophy that art and life should meld. For Rauschenberg, no object or material lies outside the realm of art, as evidenced in canonical works like Bed (1955, Museum of Modern Art, New York) and Monogram (1955–58, Moderna Museet, Stockholm), in which he used old bed sheets and a stuffed goat, respectively. In his early printed work, such as this lithograph, Rauschenberg employed found photographs often borrowed from discarded newspaper printing plates. The images, mostly obscured by a system of loosely brushed marks, reveal fragments of soldiers, political figures, sporting scenes, charts, and maps.

Something to Hold Onto
The Let Go
June 7 – July 1, 2018
New York
In Constance Rourke's 1931 American Humor: a Study of the National Character, the writer and folklorist presents America as an itinerant nation in search of an identity. Amidst this apparent flux, she identifies three distinct American archetypes: the Yankee peddler, the frontiersman, and the blackface minstrel. Each member of "the trio," she argues, wears a mask for his own protection. He allows his social superior to think he is deferential and submissive; through this masquerade, he gains some degree of freedom and power.
Nick Cave is no stranger to these characters: for over twenty years, the multidisciplinary artist has studied self-presentation and self-preservation—the masks we wear, what they hide, and what they reveal. He is best known for his wearable sculptures, known as Soundsuits. Built from found objects—wire, sisal, dyed human hair, plastic ornaments—these towering costumes fully conceal those who wear them. Though the pieces resemble African ceremonial attire—Nigeria's Afikpo masks, Liberia's Vai Sande Society's raffia skirts—their roots are distinctly American: Cave built his first Soundsuit in response to the beating of Rodney King. That rudimentary costume—made of sticks and twigs—served, for Cave, as a sort of armor, a dual bulwark against violence and racism.
In his latest project The Let Go, which debuts at the Park Avenue Armory this June, Cave reinforces costume's power to transform. The series features artist talkbacks, a fashion-forward "Freedom Ball," and movement "activations." For this last component, more than ninety community groups descend on the space each day, including yoga instructors, hula hoopers, and line dancers. Its centerpiece, though, is "Up Right," Cave's signature Soundsuit performance, a full-evening work with choreography by Cave and Francesca Harper, in collaboration with Cave's special projects director Bob Faust.
To enter the Wade Thompson Drill Hall for "Up Right," patrons must first pass the Armory's first-floor galleries; peppered among the elk heads, grandfather clocks, and battalion silver are the deconstructed materials for the Soundsuits, piled onto foam blocks and dollies. Inside the drill hall, though, is a scaled-up scene: rainbow streamers cascade from two looping tracks. As these Mylar strands, which the production team refers to as "The Chase," slink across the drill hall, they are beautiful but also threatening—on a collision course with passing patrons. This is intentional: the disco curtains double as a metaphorical nod to minorities being chased by police. Those bold enough to hover in their path, though, are enveloped in a lush, electric rain forest; Cave is masterful at rewarding confidence in the face of fear.
For such a high-gloss space, "Up Right" has an unassuming start: a single keyboard player launches into a light classical tune—enough to make you sway but not knock you off your feet. Then come the voices—echoes that quickly become roars. An entire youth choir spills into the drill hall, their hands pointedly raised, singing the phrase "walking home." Vy Higginsen's Sing Harlem Choir members set the tone for the evening: though "Up Right" might look like a disco celebration, it does not shy away from questions of racial inequality, gun violence, and police brutality.
The next shock is more subtle: a man emerges from a cluster of audience members, his raised arms mirroring the young adult's. He's easy to miss in the cavernous hall, and a skeptical patron might momentarily take him for one of their own, now a rogue interrupter. It soon becomes clear that the man does not wander solo; Twelve men march towards the stools that punctuate the stage. They peel off their street clothes—flared jeans and a silky tie dyed shirt for one, sweats for another, plaid for a third—to reveal a uniform of black shorts and tank tops. Stripped of their distinct styles, the men speak to the relationship between uniformity and deindividualization. On the one hand, this assumed outfit strips the performers of their personal styles. On the other, it provides a clearer sense of what unites them: they are all men—specifically, men of color.
Unlike Cave's static exhibitions, "Up Right" guides patrons through the construction of the Soundsuits and, in turn, the transformations of the men they envelop. Twelve attendants in lab vests and gloves aide this process. When they enter the drill hall, pushing the disassembled soundsuits on dollies, they turn the space into a costume shop of sorts, each spotlight circle now a workstation. These men and women proceed to dress the men; they rifle through the wisps of hair, the straw-like skirts, the plastic knick-knacks.
There's a private nature to what audiences witness in "Up Right." Near the back of the drill hall, for instance, one of the attendants tenderly lays her hands on her charge's shoulders, assessing her work. He rests his hands on her shoulders before stepping into a floor-length skirt. These exchanges—light touches, silent check-ins—thread a more nuanced, emotional narrative through what is, on its surface, an extravagant scene. The choir, too, joins this gentle support. In breakout groups, they congregate around each of the men for a minute or two, waving their hands and rocking their bodies as if blessing the transformation process.
As the attendants transform the men into living sculptures, the bodies beneath the materials shift in and out of focus. One must scan for a glimpse of skin and bone—a resting hand, the top of a head; when found, these body parts become all the more visible and, at the same time, out of place among the wire rings and beaded layers. Even when the Soundsuits cover these slivers of humanity, though, the sheer hulking mass of the costumes are a reminder of who they protect. When the attendants roll their bare dollies out of the drill hall, they leave behind twelve men masked as colorful glaciers.
With headdresses resembling a platter-sized dream catcher, beaded basketball mesh, and a small white Christmas tree—how can one move in such armor? The transformation from skeleton to Soundsuit is a structural wonder; the second trick of the performance is the men's transformation from static sculptures to pulsing, breathing, dancing titans. Like elders at a summit, the men march across the vast stage; as they pass one of their counterparts, he, too, joins the group, until all twelve men walk in unison. The singers, gathered at the center of the room, give voice to the men in the suits: "when you walk through a storm, hold your head up high and don't be afraid of the dark," they sing. "You'll never walk alone." There's a distinct intensity here: when the men start to shout and then sprint—still in their Soundsuit armor—they call to mind one of the Armory's military drills. There's a sense of urgency, of warning in their voices and movements.
There's also a sense of joy. The Soundsuits are protective, yes, but they are also somewhat liberating. In them, the men's appearance is obscured—their race, height, any features that breed hate or insecurity. They depart from the drill hall only after twirling, shaking, and skipping across the performance space, which they have turned into a runway (in one of The Let Go's more overt homages to ball culture). The choir, too, backs this energy shift: they clap and sing, transforming the space into a gospel church, before departing the space like a cheer squad after a season win. These associations reinforce the place masks have in American culture.
Though it has been nearly ninety years since Rourke published her study of American popular culture, her claims are still trenchant. Masks hide and masks reveal; playfulness is a powerful tool; independence is accessible, if one knows how to construct it. Cave's The Let Go does not merely echo this narrative; rather, it builds on it. In Cave's world, those who wear masks do so alongside peers and allies: they may fall into the tradition of pioneering rebels, but they never walk alone.

The design of the website is perhaps its most crucial aspect. As they say the first impression is the last impression and the website design creates that first and lasting impression. This makes it imperative for your site to look and feel unique to stand out in a crowd of millions. If you are planning to hire a Toronto web designing company, it is important that you employ the latest techniques in design as well as technology yet keep it simple and uncomplicated that may put off your visitors.
When it comes to web designing, sky is the limit for creativity. You can try out existing templates, new color combinations, tweak them to accommodate your essential features or opt for something completely new. Irrespective of what you have in mind it is important to keep track of latest trends in designing. With advancements in styles and techniques, the trends look promising and interesting. It could be challenging to integrate hottest trends into your website, but will nevertheless be equally rewarding.
Trends change fast and it may be difficult to stay updated with every latest development that is taking place. But here we bring across some major practices that shall prevail supreme. Ideally speaking every website has a header, footer and side bars with significant content relevant to the website. However, latest web design trends are departing from these standard formats experimenting with new layouts, color combinations that are truly out of the box, allowing creativity to soar. Few of these trends are:
- Bigger, Bolder, Better Pictures
Using big pictures and images in websites is becoming a huge rage with web designers. Eye catching high definition images make a site an instant hit making it attractive and impactful. But it is important to choose the images with care because they will be setting the tone for the site giving an idea to the visitors what the site is all about.
- Rich, huge, attractive backgrounds
Using striking dynamic backgrounds will set your website apart from the rest. You can use animated images, 3D images or videos that run in the background.
- Adding tiles
Adding attractive tiles is a great way to make your website look great. This kind of layout is new, fresh and gives a lot of flexibility in arrangement. You can use images that are relevant to your business and put them together in an unconventional layout.
- Responsive
With the advent of smart devices in various sizes, it has become almost imperative for every website to be responsive. This is quite challenging but nevertheless arising as an imminent need for every business.
- Less number of pages
Simplicity is something that is gaining ground. People prefer fewer pages in a website as compared to more. This makes it easier for visitors to find what they are looking for. Another major reason for this rising trend is that a significant part of the web traffic constitutes mobile users for whom simpler designs are easier to navigate. It can be a challenge to fit in maximum information in one single page, but KISS – Keep is short and simple is ruling!
- Integrating Google Maps
Every website ought to have the provision to integrate Google Maps into it because it has become very important to establish the physical presence of a business on the web. This adds genuineness and authenticity to a business propelling it on the growth track.
- Beyond boxes
Most web designs have rectangle frames. But it is worth the effort to change this frame and or integrate different shapes like circles, ovals, irregular shapes, hexagons, skewed horizons, etc. Also placing a user in an infinite space where instead of regular scrolling, navigation is designed to give a real look and feel of things.
These ideas are not limiting in any way and there is no end to experimenting with new designs. Innovative scrolling, parallax effect, using Flash creatively, etc. are some more ways that can make your website look truly unique. The first major thing that comes out of all these practices is that every site these days is being designed at being more interactive and engaging so that visitors actually spend time effectively browsing the website. Secondly the approach in designing websites is minimalist where less is more. Complicated websites with numerous pages with complex navigations are passé. So check out the latest trends and make the indelible mark in the web space.

Tom Petty, the iconic American songwriter and guitarist music icon, whose hits like "I Won't Back Down," "Free Fallin'" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance" have blown the lid off rock music's canon, died unexpectedly on October 2 at the age of 66. He was found unresponsive in his home after a cardiac arrest and could not be revived. He passed away at the UCLA Medical Center, surrounded by family, bandmates, and friends just two weeks after wrapping up a massive 40th Anniversary Tour.
With an inimitable, twangy, gritty voice and instantly recognizable songs, you would be hard pressed to find someone who couldn't name at least one of his hits. It's certainly no surprise that more than a few generations worth of kids with guitars first cut their teeth on some Tom Petty licks.
What's more, those songs have some incredible staying power. Even 40 years on, they seem as current and fresh as they did when they were released and still play every day on America's radio stations.
In response to his death, thoughts, well wishes, and memories from fans and music icons flooded in. It's no wonder, either — his influence is felt across the entire entertainment world. Many artists, including John Mayer, Kid Rock, Christina Perri, and Bon Jovi cite him as inspiration.
Petty first rose to fame with his band the Heartbreakers, whose third album, Damn the Torpedoes, went platinum in 1979 and featured "Don't Do Me Like That," the band's first Top-10 hit. After that, successes and accolades kept piling up for Petty — from three Grammy Awards and 18 nominations, to touring with Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead, to recording a hit single with Stevie Nicks, and so much more.
But it didn't stop there. On top of a successful solo career, he was also a member of supergroup the Traveling Wilburys, which featured George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, and Bob Dylan. The group, of course, took home a Grammy and somehow was able to find a sound that belonged to the group alone. Was the sum of their parts greater than their individual achievements? Not even close. But it was an interesting experiment that yielded positive results.
Despite all the successes, the Florida native stayed humble and kept in touch with his roots — never forgetting his original band, Mudcrutch. Although signed to a record deal in the '70s, the band never took off; after failing to chart with a single, they were dropped from their label.
But in 2007, Petty invited members of the band to a reunion and officially reformed as Mudcrutch. They recorded two albums, both of which made it into the Top 10 on the Billboard 200.
Perhaps the best summation I can give of his life and music comes from an experience I personally had at a party a couple years back. Most of the people there were musicians, and a couple of us brought out guitars to start up a jam session. Being a diverse cross-section of the music world, we couldn't initially agree on a song to sing. Then one of the guys started playing the iconic intro to "Free Fallin'," and you could see everyone's eyes light up. Beautiful harmonies were cobbled together on the spot — everyone just knew all the words, all the chords.
It was perfect. It gave me goosebumps.
To me, that's the true legacy that Tom Petty leaves behind: music that brings people together, music that is accessible to everyone, no matter their preferred genre or musical bent. I think that's why his death has affected so many so deeply, fans and other artists alike. His music was both personal and immediate.
As far as musical legacies go, I don't think they get much better than that. Here's to you, Tom, as you sail out to the Great Wide Open.

Syncopation: Unifying Music Theory and Perception
MetadataShow full item record
Syncopation is a fundamental feature of rhythm in music. However, the relationship between theory and perception is currently not well understood. This thesis is concerned with characterising this relationship and identifying areas where the theory is incomplete. We start with a review of relevant musicological background and theory. Next, we use psychophysical data to characterise the perception of syncopation for simple rhythms. We then analyse the predictions of current theory using this data and identify strengths and weaknesses in the theory. We then introduce further psychophysical data which characterises the perception of syncopation for simple rhythms at different tempi. This leads to revised theory and a new model of syncopation that is tempo-dependent.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Felipe Mora scored in first-half stoppage time to pull the Portland Timbers into a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday night.
The Earthquakes (4-7-6) struck first with a second-chance goal from Javier López in the 25th minute.
The Timbers (6-8-2) tied it on Mora's flick off a pass from Bill Tuiloma just before the break.
The Earthquakes were coming off 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders on Sunday. San Jose is undefeated in the last six games, but has only won one of the last 13.
The Earthquakes have never beaten the Timbers at Portland's Providence Park. The last time San Jose earned a point in Portland was in 2014.
Portland came into the match after a crushing 4-1 loss at the LA Galaxy on Friday. It was the team's second straight loss.
"I'm extremely happy to come out of this match seeing the way we played," Timber's coach Giovanni Savarese said. "Of course disappointed because it was only one point. But besides that, the level of play, the quality, the discipline, this is us — not what we saw in the second half against the Galaxy. This is the team that can achieve something great this year as long as we continue to grow."
Aljaz Ivacic made his debut for Portland in goal when starting goalkeeper Steve Clark was injured in the 37th minute and had to leave the game due to what Savarese described as a groin injury.
Eryk Williamson replaced Cristhian Paredes at half for the Timbers for his first match back since winning the Gold Cup with the U.S. National Team. Claudio Bravo made his first start for the Timbers following his stint with the Argentina at the Olympics.
San Jose's Jackson Yueill also was subbed into the game after playing for the United States at the Gold Cup.
"They're very good team, and so the point on the road is important and it's time to keep moving forward," Yueill said afterward.
Earthquakes forward Cade Cowell was named to the MLS All-Star team earlier in the day. Cowell, 17, is the youngest player named to the team, which will face Liga MX All-Stars on Aug. 25 at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.
Cowell has four goals and four assists this season.
Diego Chara picked up a second yellow late in the match and was sent off in stoppage time. A brief scuffle broke out among the two sides at the final whistle.
The game was played amid rumors of an impending deal that would send Jeremy Ebobisse from the Timbers to the Earthquakes.
"We're speaking about an important player, a young star with a big future. But for now there's nothing concrete so I'd rather speak if it comes to be," San Jose coach Matias Almeyda said after the game.

In this article, we'll explain how to configure the edge one pager shortcode.
To see the edge one pager shortcode in action, check out the demo page.
Displaying the Edge One Pager Shortcode
To add the shortcode:
|Select Specific Slides
|You can add the slides you already created using the Edge Slideshow menu item here. Just click on the selection box and search for the name of your desired slide. You can add as many slides as you'd like, but we recommend to keep this limited so there will be no impact on your website speed. More slides mean more images and media to load which will make your website slower.
Configuring the Edge One Pager Settings
After you've added the edge one pager shortcode, a pop-up window will appear where you can set options for this shortcode. Below is a detailed description of each option of the edge one pager shortcode.
|Determines the pagination mode. If you select the Stroke option you will get no navigation dots, and the slide change will occur upon scrolling. If you select Small Dot With Stroke you will have navigation dots on the right side of the screen, as well as the ability to change slides by scrolling. Available options are: Stroke and Small Dot With Stroke.
Altering the Images Sorting
There are two settings in the edge one pager settings pop-up which that allow you to alter the post sorting. By default, the Order and Orderby settings are set to Ascending and Date, therefore it sorts the older posts ahead of the newer posts.
|Sets the ascending or descending order of the Orderby parameter.
| Sorts the posts based on the selected parameter (date, menu order, title, …).
Configuring the Visibility for Devices

This post is part of a series of posts covering topics related to CAGJ's new book, "Our Food, Our Right." The author, Meagan Nelson, is the Publicity Coordinator at Community Alliance for Global Justice and has a background promoting liberal causes, working in communications and outreach on campaigns for Seattle City Councilmember Jean Godden, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, and President Barack Obama. Nelson is studying Communication, Law, Economics and Government at American University and aspires to make the sustainable food movement and its related health and environmental benefits an active political issue in American lives.
In America, our culture values big quantity, for less quality and money, and food is no exception to this value. Why, might you ask, are Americans able to buy and consume so much food, and are experiencing several health problems in addition to this? Well, the answer, which many people may not think about, are genetically modified oganisms. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are organisms that have had their DNAs altered in order to make it grow bigger and faster.
While the agricultural industry says that these GMOs are able to increase food quanitity while avoiding pests, what they do not tell us is that GMOs have been linked to "reduced fertility, lowered immunity, organ damage, accelerated aging, severe allergies, (especially to soy), and other ill effects (MindBodyGreen). Additionally, GMOs have significantly decreased diversity among different crops, especially wheat and soybeans.
So, what can we do about all this? Here's a few tips to live a healthy, happy lifestyle GMO-free:
· Eat organically
· Take probiotic and prebiotic supplements to support your digestive system
· Combat food allergies and maintain a healthy immune system through medicinal mushrooms
· Prevent cancer from GMOs by taking honokiol and Citris Pectin
Currently, a bill is being proposed in Washington State called WA-522, which gives Washingtonians the right to know exactly what is in thier food based on food labeling. Under this initiative, genetically engineered foods to be labeled could include chips, cold cereals, soft drinks, candy, corn and soy. According to WA-522,"Our food is already labeled with abundant nutritional information including calories, fat, sodium and vitamins. Many foods, from fruits and vegetables to fish, have Country of Origin labels. Additionally, American companies are already required to label genetically engineered food in 64 other countries. They should provide the same information to American consumers."

Walking into your favorite local quilt shop and seeing your pattern hanging on the display wall would certainly be a thrill. For many sewing pattern designers, the idea of selling print patterns is very appealing. It means your designs will be sold all over the country and bought by customers who might not ever read a sewing blog or shop online. Print patterns mean gaining a whole new audience. It's great exposure.
Producing print patterns is daunting, though. You've got to master page layout, vectorizing templates, and creating illustrations. Then there's technical editing and copyediting. You'll need to purchase a bar code for each pattern, then source cost effective printing. Once you've got your patterns in hand, you have to collate, fold, and bag them yourself. To get your patterns in stores you'll need to get picked up by a distributor, and then pack and ship boxes of patterns to them. The lead-time between when you design a pattern and when it's actually available in stores can be several months or more. It's a lot of work!
A typical sewing pattern in a quilt shop sells for about $13. Going this route you can expect to earn $3 on each sale and that's got to cover all your costs and your time. (To hear more about the process of creating a print pattern for sale listen to my interview with Bari J.)
In Australia there's a popular innovation on print patterns that caught my eye: creative cards. Where a print pattern is typically several pages folded and bagged, a creative card is a single sturdy piece of glossy cardstock printed double-sided. It's got instructions and templates, plus a color photo of the finished project, and it sells at an attractive low price point that makes it a great add-on purchase for shoppers.
A sampling of the creative cards now available through Creative Abundance.
A print pattern in Australia typically sells for $16-$20, while a creative card is just $5. Creative cards are displayed at the checkout counter in Australian quilt shops and have become a very popular product. The leading Australian pattern distributor, Creative Abundance, carries several dozen in their catalog. Australian designers Jodie Carlton and Claire Gee have been selling pattern cards through Creative Abundance for a year now and say the cards do very well, some months surpassing their standard-sized print patterns in sales volume.
In the U.S. mini patterns are becoming more popular as well. Several designers offer lower price point mini patterns, including Valorie Wells, Heather Bailey, Jeni Baker, Oliver + S, and Patty Young. Although mini patterns in the U.S. are less expensive than a full-sized pattern, they aren't quite as low in price, and they aren't necessarily as single page card. Still, I see a trend forming.
I really like the idea of a pattern printed on a card. They're easy to kit and great for workshops and they're a fun add-on purchase for customers. Pattern cards are the type of thing you might pick up while you're at the quilt shop for something else and then tuck away for a rainy day, or just to have fun with.
Even though pattern cards are an attractive concept, offering a nice product at a great price, creating them is almost as challenging as creating standard-sized patterns: layout, editing, printing, and distribution are still fairly big hurdles to jump.
What if there was a way to create a pattern card and get national distribution without having to take all of those steps?
Checker Distributors is one of the biggest U.S. distribution companies of quilting and sewing products. When you walk into your local quilt shop the merchandise you see was almost all purchased from a distributor's catalog and most likely that distributor was Checker. They've got a huge booth at Quilt Market and carry patterns by all of the big name indie designers.
Cut Loose Press patterns in the Checker Booth at Quilt Market.
About a year ago Checker opened a print-on-demand pattern card division called Cut Loose Press. Independent designers work with Checker to print and distribute pattern cards for sewing projects. These cards are then sold in brick-and-mortar stores all over the country. Checker handles all of the layout, editing, printing, packing and distribution and designers earn a royalty on each one that sells.
A sampling of the pattern cards available now through Cut Loose Press.
Cut Loose Press cards are all print-on-demand. When a store places an order that particular card is printed and sent out. They are the standard 8.5" x 11" size and are printed on 80 lb. heavy weight paper, in color, on specially treated paper that inhibits photocopying (the paper turns black when copied).
Last week I reached out to Alyssa McCoy, pattern buyer at Checker, and Kathleen Gill, Project Manager for Cut Loose Press, to find out more. They encourage indie designers to submit projects for consideration. Submissions are open to everyone, including international designers.
Here's how the process works:
1. Submit your project. Unlike the smaller Australian creative cards, there is not really a size or complexity limitation when it comes to Cut Loose Press pattern cards. Your project can be a small easy-to-sew project or a king sized quilt. Once you have something, email an image and description to: firstname.lastname@example.com
2. Wait a week. A review committee at Checker meets weekly to approve projects. If your project gets approved, they'll contact you and send you a contract to sign. When you print a pattern with Cut Loose Press you give Checker exclusive rights to that pattern, meaning you can't sell it anywhere else. But because Cut Loose is a print-on-demand service, you can pull your pattern at any time. If sales aren't doing as well as you'd like, let Checker know that you'd like to discontinue it and then you're free to sell that pattern in a different way.
3. Fill out an online template. Checker will provide you with a straightforward online form to upload your instructions, beauty shots, diagrams or step-by-step photos, and templates. Checker staff will edit the pattern. Then it goes is up on Checker's online catalogue, usually within two weeks from submission. That's a short lead-time!
4. Your pattern is in stores. Checker sells the cards to the quilt shops for $1.75 and then the shops sell them retail for a nice low price point of $3.49 retail. For every pattern card that sells you'll receive a .25 royalty. Although .25 may seem like a small percentage for the designer (you'll need to sell 1,000 in order to make $250), when you figure in the costs of printing, collating, bagging, and shipping print patterns yourself, plus lead time, it really isn't much different from the $3 you'd get for a $13 print pattern.
Right now Cut Loose Press has 163 pattern cards available and, according to Alyssa McCoy, all of the designers involved have been satisfied. In fact, two of Checker's top selling patterns are Cut Loose Press patterns. Not every pattern has to be for a small-scale project. A top-selling Cut Loose Press pattern right now is Tropical Blues, a pattern for a king-sized quilt.
Integral to Checker's mission is to keep brick-and-mortar quilt shops and fabric stores alive. That's a mission that I support. Cut Loose Press provides an exciting opportunity for indie pattern designers to get their work into those stores. In order to make a living as a pattern designer it's vital to have multiple income streams. Perhaps Cut Loose Press should be one of them.

How to Identify Safe and Effective Emergency Eyewash
How to Identify Safe and Effective Emergency Eyewash
Our eyes are susceptible to hazards such as flying objects, dust particles, chemicals and vapors or UV light. In a workplace environment, eye protection comes to the rescue - safety spectacles and googles and if the situation requires, face shields or welding helmets.
National standards and private safety programs also continue to evolve to provide workers with greater levels of protection. Yet, despite safety precautions, accidental exposures can still occur. When they do, minimizing the effects relies on immediate administration of the safest and most effective treatment possible.
Read on for tips on how to choose safe emergency eyewash.
Standard requirements for on-the-spot decontamination
The ANSI Z358.1-2009 standard for "Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment" establishes a universal minimum performance and use requirement for all eyewash and drench shower equipment, when a person's eyes, face or body is exposed to hazardous materials and chemicals.
Location. The first 10-15 seconds after exposure are critical, so ANSI calls for eyewash stations to be located 10 seconds away from the hazard – this means no stairs, or other obstructions should be in the way. If there's a high risk of exposure with strong caustics or acids, eyewash should be adjacent to the hazard.
Signage. The area needs to be lit and marked with a visible sign.
Water supply. ANSI requires that the first step following chemical contact of any kind – including caustics, acids, solvents and other hazardous materials – be immediate flushing of the eyes with water. According to the standard, water may be any potable (drinking) water, preserved water, preserved buffered saline solution or other medically acceptable solution.
Water temperature. The eyes should be flushed continuously, for 15 minutes with fluid flowing at a rate of 0.4 gallons per minute for portable and plumbed eyewash stations. And the temperature should be "tepid", namely between 60-100 degrees F.
As you can see, requirements are strict. Consequently, the quality of the eyewash fluids and their delivery systems should meet high-quality standards. But not all eyewash solutions are equal in content.
Here's what you need to consider when selecting an eyewash solution.
1. Check for an NDC number. The National Drug Code, a three-segment number, identifies the labeler, product and trade package size. The labeler is the manufacturer or distributor of the drug and it should be FDA-approved. You can also review drug recall information and alerts on the FDA website for signs of unsafe products.
2. Review the list of ingredients. The safest eyewash is made of sterile saline produced from 100% sterile water and which uses salt only to match the PH with the human eye.
3. Choose tamper resistant packaging to ensure safety and purity.
4. Make sure the fluid is fit to be used on the eyes by checking 21 CFR 200.50 in the National Code Directory. This standard applies to ophthalmic-grade products and states that unsterile products fall may be unsafe, according to the FDA.
5. Consider buying US-made products or from countries where inspections are more stringent.
6. Be careful of expiry dates. Products are tested and approved to maintain efficacy for a measured length of time and are approved by the FDA according to those parameters. After time, compounds can change form, packaging can degrade and drugs may lose their ability to perform at safe standards.
7. Renew eyewash solution according to the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure its sterility and stability. Even in plumbed eyewash stations, the water may contain contaminants such as rust, scale and chemicals. Changing the fluid frequently and cleaning the units regularly can prevent inadvertent use of contaminated fluid.
The dangers of administering non-sterile eyewash can have profoundly negative impacts on injured individuals, as well as their employers. By selecting a reputable manufacturer that supplies FDA-approved, sterile, ophthalmic-grade eyewash, employers benefit from uninterrupted access to a product with superior integrity. When workers recover quickly, companies recover quickly, and the safety benefits of exceptional eyewash are crystal clear.
Honeywell has a wide range of emergency eyewash products and is the company that created the first 100% sterile sealed-fluid cartridge and 100% sterile delivery station, the first self-contained gravity-fed station and the first heated self-contained gravity-fed station.

Fish out of Water
So I mapped out this list, and there are maybe 25 entrees on it, which actually is better than I thought it would be, but, as I told Emma: "Unless you start eating other things, this list represents what I'm going to be cooking and eating at home...FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE." Which...no. Leslie and I used to try to cook something new every few weeks or so. We loved researching recipes, finding ones we liked, and trying them out. I have a friggin' recipe box stuffed with printouts, cards and copies of recipes we liked that I WILL NEVER EAT AGAIN...unless something changes. Because, one of the other shitty things about losing a spouse is...now when you cook, you're really cooking for one. And there's no way I'm cooking chicken piccata just for me (for example. See "Surprise" for the amusing (in my humble opinon) details on how to make chicken piccata my (Pioneer Woman) way). And that became one of our favorite recipes! I wish I could have included more parentheses in the sentence before that last one.
So...on the spot I told her "I'm going to start making you try something new every Tuesday." (And I picked Tuesday because she has dance on Wednesday and Thursday and I'll need time to cook it, and she just won't have time on that day). But then...I was like...I wish it rhymed. Like...Tuesday Tryday? It has alliteration but if there were only a day of the week that rhymed with try-day...
So yeah, anyway, Friday (also have time to cook on Friday) is now officially Tryday, and Emma has selected the next thing that she's never really tried/wanted/liked and it is...
Fish sandwich. Fish sandwiches are a Pittsburgh staple. Pittsburgh has one of the highest percentages of Catholics in the nation, and so during lent every year, people line up around the block every Friday to order a fish sandwich. Forget even trying to get into Red Lobster. Emma doesn't even eat them, leaving her with cheese pizza, or grilled cheese, or mac and cheese as her choices.
So...I'm soliciting your feedback. Do you have a favorite way of making a crispy fried fish sandwich (cod, by the way)? I loved the feedback and interaction I got on facebook from my request for tips on spaghetti sauce.
The end result should look something like this:
Help me.

Hello — I'm Matthew Perry, the star of the NBC's long-running hit sitcom Friends. And when Friends, the long-running hit sitcom on NBC that I starred in, came to an end, I wanted a way to stay in touch with my friends.
But we're all so busy these days. Matt has his show on Thursday nights.
David joined a rec softball league. Lisa switched to an unlisted phone
number and apparently forgot to tell me. Courtney would rather hang out
with David Arquette than shoot the breeze with someone she worked with
for a decade. And Jennifer — I don't even know what she's up to these
How can busy stars like us stay in touch while jetting to the set of
our latest film or waiting for NBC to maybe offer us a sitcom after all
we've done for them? Letters are so impersonal. Postcards are so terse.
I don't even know if they have telegrams any more.
Then, one day, I came across a clipping from the New York Times Circuits section about this emerging new trend called weblogs or blogs for short. Apparently, weblogs or
are Web pages where ordinary people can jot down their thoughts on just
about anything, which other people can read and then write — or post, for short — comments about what they think. And these weblogs or blogs cover just about anything — politics, sports, fashion, even poems about cats! Could there be any more blogs?
Yes… yes, there could. This blog!

The Donkey and the Load of Salt
A Merchant, driving his Donkey homeward from the seashore with a heavy load of salt, came to a river crossed by a shallow ford. They had crossed this river many times before without accident, but this time the Donkey slipped and fell when halfway over. And when the Merchant at last got him to his feet, much of the salt had melted away. Delighted to find how much lighter his burden had become, the Donkey finished the journey very gaily.
Next day the Merchant went for another load of salt. On the way home the Donkey, remembering what had happened at the ford, purposely let himself fall into the water, and again got rid of most of his burden.
The angry Merchant immediately turned about and drove the Donkey back to the seashore, where he loaded him with two great baskets of sponges. At the ford the Donkey again tumbled over; but when he had scrambled to his feet, it was a very disconsolate Donkey that dragged himself homeward under a load ten times heavier than before.
The same measures will not suit all circumstances.
Moozie warns that "Circumstances can sometimes change unexpectedly, but learn from them and remember which changes are good and which are not. Be kind to yourself and learn from both successes and failures."

Traveltech is on Debuger again! His new track Strings is very melodic and smooth. Layers of synths are giving a sensation of flowing trough sound. DJ GrujA did a remix that is more about a funky bassline, with one of the synth samples getting distorted and followed by another one that completes the picture.

How I Ended Up Running a Label?Submitted by admin on Sat, 02/28/2015 - 15:17
Back in year 2008 I was DJ-ing at some of the underground clubs of Belgrade, mostly with a crew from my neighborhood (Boža, Andreja Z, Igor Krsmanovic, Milan). It is interesting that in my neighborhood there was like 20 DJs\producers in the radius of 1 km. I have starting messing around with music years before, when I was just a kid, playing with two cassette decks, speeding up some tapes with rap beats and hard core riffs and recording the sequences into some kind of primitive mixes. After that came some rudimentary software, then the first turntables and a mixer that was made by my friend who was into electronics and was willing to make a mixer by my instructions. I was hooked.
[DEB059] Reqterdrumer - LycorisSubmitted by admin on Wed, 02/18/2015 - 19:07
New one from Reqterdrumer. As usual it is hard to put his tracks in a specific genre. Lycoris is melodic, synth based and well layered. DJ GrujA made two remixes, one is straight up techno with a very funky bassline and energetic brakes, while the other one goes into the territory of breakbeat and electronica, with a pulsating bassline. Three very different approaches to the same theme.

TB Skin Test
$ 64.88
PPD skin test
The Mantoux tuberculin skin test (TST) is the standard method of determining whether a person is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Reliable administration and reading of the TST requires standardization of procedures, training, supervision, and practice.
How i s the TST Administered?
The TST is performed by injecting 0.1 ml of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) into the inner surface of the forearm. The injection should be made with a tuberculin syringe, with the needle bevel facing upward. The TST is an intradermal injection. When placed correctly, the injection should produce a pale elevation of the skin (a wheal) 6 to 10 mm in diameter.
How i s the TST Read?
The skin test reaction should be read between 48 and 72 hours after administration.
A positive result will form a red and swollen circle at the site of the injection. The size (diameter) of the swollen raised circle determines whether exposure to TB has occurred. The size that is considered positive varies with the health status and age of the individual. Even when infected, children, the elderly, and people who are severely immune compromised (such as those with AIDS) may have smaller, delayed, or even negative reactions to the TST.
Is there anything else I should know?
Positive TST results are commonly seen in those who have received a BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccination. IGRA results are not affected by BCG.
A negative TST may cause mild itching or discomfort at the injection site. A person may not respond to a TB skin test (even with TB exposure) if the person has had a recent viral infection, a "live" vaccine (such as measles, mumps, chickenpox, influenza), or has overwhelming tuberculosis, another bacterial infection, or is taking immune suppressive drugs such as corticosteroids.
A person should generally wait 4-6 weeks to do a TB skin test after having had a vaccination with a live-virus vaccine.

Which Is The Best Calculator For The CFA Exam?
Choosing the best calculator for the CFA exam is a personal choice, but having the right calculator can save you a lot of time during the exam. I will outline in this article how I used the Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional during the exam with success. This is also the calculator I recommend for the exam if you don't already own another model of the allowed calculators.
CFA Institute allows the following models at the exam:
- Texas Instruments BA II Plus (including BA II Plus Professional). The BA II Plus cost approximately $28 on Amazon, the Professional approximately $40.
- Hewlett Packard 12C (including the HP 12C Platinum, 12C 25th anniversary edition, and 12C 30th anniversary edition), available for approximately $60 on Amazon.
Each has its pros and cons, but to cut a long story short:
I recommend the BA II Plus Professional for the CFA exam.
Let's first start with images of all allowed calculator models:
The HP 12c is a somewhat older model of a calculator than the Texas Instruments models. In my opinion, unless you already own a HP 12c and really love it, I would certainly not purchase this calculator for the CFA exam as a first choice. It's more expensive than the TI models and using it is somewhat clumsy and different from from other scientific and financial calculators. I personally did not like the feel of the buttons, and found the price point a bit steep for such a dated piece of machinery.
The Texas Instruments BA II Plus is affordable and fairly straightforward to use. For all three levels of the CFA exam I used the TI BA II Plus Professional, and it was great. You can also use this calculators for a range of other financial certifications, such as the FRM or the ERP, and even in your work as a finance professional.I find it very helpful to quickly calculate NPV or IRR without using an Excel spreadsheet.
In level 1 of the CFA exam, the most common more involved calculations you will need are NPV and IRR calculations. The BA II plus is very intuitive, and I was able to use the calculator to my full advantage without ever accessing the manual. The calculator has a bunch of statistical features also, such as calculating standard deviation, which can be useful. However, you can also calculate standard deviation with the formula you learned in almost the same time, so you don't even need many of the features the calculator offers.
CFA Institute takes its calculator policy very serious, so don't even think about using a different model than the ones suggested. From the CFA Institute website about their calculator policy:
Before the exam, you will be asked to clear the memory of your calculator. You are allowed to bring a spare battery and a small screwdriver to change the battery, but you may be asked to unwrap the battery and/or place everything on the floor. I brought all of this with me, but luckily never used it. The battery of the BA II Plus Professional was good (and still is) for more than three years and for all three levels of the CFA. You will also see many candidates with two calculator at the exam (one used for backup). I don't think this is necessary, as the battery will most likely not run out during the exam, but if it makes you feel better, get another BA II Plus for about $28 on Amazon as a backup.
I believe you will be very happy with either of the Texas Instruments models. I chose the Professional because of the look and feel, but the normal model is less expensive and offers almost the same range of features.
I hope this helped with your calculator choice, and I wish you all the best for your CFA exam preparations!

Abu Dhabi is a glorious capital city of the United Arab Emirates. After Dubai , it is the second largest city by population in all seven emirates.
The city with population over one and half million people is situated by the Persian Gulf coast, specifically on a small island in the central part of the UAE's coast.
Abu Dhabi in Arabic means "Land of the Gazelle" which is bounded to the history / a legend about an antelope which led an entire tribe to a place with fresh water in the Arabic dessert.
The island with simple palm trees huts and become a settlement and never stopped evolving ever since. Nowadays, Abu Dhabi is a modern, shiny, ever growing and cosmopolitan metropolis of the entire UAE and the region.

On the Road to Self-Publication:The Unknown
The idea of self publishing has put me in a weird place, emotionally. I'm torn between I'm-So-Excited and Wow-This-Is-Scary. The book won't come out until late November/early December, but it feels right around the corner. I want to make sure the book is as close to perfect as I can make it.
This is the road to self-publication. It's chock-full of fear. I have to wonder: is my manuscript good enough? Should I send it to agents one more time? What's going to happen?
I think it's that unknown factor that makes self-publishing so exciting and stressful at the same time. It's a gamble. On one hand, I could have amazing success. On the other, I might sell two copies to my mom and that would be the end of it.
Would that be so bad though, if I learned something? If I even got one review on Amazon that mentioned one thing that I didn't know, would it be worth it? I mean, it would be horribly disappointing, but still. I'm doing most of the production on my own. I'm trying not to spend a ton of money on this.
But I think that learning from all this is key. Maybe I'll learn about a weakness that's been holding me back. Perhaps I'll learn about a strength that will launch my next book into success. Or maybe I'll learn that self-publishing isn't for me. (I hope it's not that last one, but if it's true, better to learn it sooner rather than later.)
The unknown is scary. But it's also promising.

I've made no commitments to self-publishing, but I have seriously considered it. You describe many of my fears and hopes. One moment it's like "Thousands of readers will love my work!" and the next it's "No one will buy my book and I'll be a miserable public failure!"
It's a step that takes a lot of courage. I'll be cheering you on. I already enjoy Ivy's voice a lot and will definitely buy a copy!
I like the sound of The Fairy Tale Trap as a title. Seems to fit your voice and story.

Traditional publishing has a lot to offer. If a great agent offered representation right now, I'd probably say yes. I feel strongly that I should pursue self-publishing, but whether or not I succeed, or even actually get there, is to be seen.
The decision came with a lot of praying. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the courage to leap into this.
But yeah, you nailed what I'm feeling. When I start to feel nervous, I tell myself I'm actually just excited. (Sometimes it works and I believe myself.)

It seems self-publishing is the way to go. You're right, it takes courage...as does anything new. It's a step into the unknown...but you're not alone.
Don't forget Holly's words: the book doesn't have to be perfect! It's the best you can do at this moment.
And like Rabia, I'm on the waiting list for the book :)
Don't forget to tell everyone on Holly's forum.

Why am I finding it necessary to remind you of things you already know???
Apologies for sounding just like my mother :D

No, it's okay. I needed that reminder. I sometimes feel weird about advertising myself amongst a group of writers because, well, we all write books, so what's the big deal.
I sometimes forget how supportive our community is. :)

I have self-published. There are pros and cons. If you self-publish, you have control over EVERYTHING- look, editing, promotion, profit. Getting published is a big legitimacy builder, but you might be surprised at how little a publisher does to promote you. Success is really up to you.

Thanks, Inky!
I've heard horror stories about bad covers and no promo budget, but one thing that I like about self-publishing is that I KNOW I'm fully responsible for EVERYTHING. Sometimes I wonder if I would be as aggressive with marketing, branding, etc... if I wasn't completely in charge.

NFC West - What You Need To Know
Los Angeles Rams
-Record Last Year 13-3; Lost in Super Bowl to Patriots
-Season Win Total 10.5 +110, -130
-Odds to win NFC West -180
-Odds to win NFC +450 co-favorites with Saints
-Odds to win Super Bowl 9-1
-Odds to make Playoffs -250
-Isn't it funny how easily the public perception of someone can change just based on 1 game? All off-season I've been hearing how teams have "figured out" Sean McVay, and he'll have to adjust his offensive schemes based on what Bill Belichick did to him in the Super Bowl. I don't think it's anywhere near that drastic. Remember, the game prior to the Super Bowl, McVay and Goff were carving up Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints in the dome.
-The 'secret' seems to be out on Todd Gurley. They are definitely planning on resting him some this season, in hopes of preserving his arthritic knee for a potential playoff run. That's why their season win total did take some Under money initially once that came out.
-Like the Saints, the Rams also lost their starting Center James Sullivan, and that often makes much more of a difference than most people think--The Center being responsible or the line calls, much like the Middle Linebacker on the defensive side.
-One thing I look at with Goff and the Rams is the cold weather schedule. We know Goff hates it, and performs poorly in it vs warm weather. We all remember the Bears game last year--That said, he and the Rams play only 1 cold weather game all year, that's November 10th at Pittsburgh. The away games after that in November and December are at Arizona, Dallas, and San Francisco.
-The Super Bowl hangover. It's been a very real thing the last decade...Also, they were +11 in turnover differential last year, so do expect some regression there.
Seattle Seahawks
-Record Last Year 10-6; Lost Wildcard game to Dallas
-Season Win Total 8.5 -140, +110
-Odds to win NFC West +275
-Odds to win NFC 14-1
-Odds to win Super Bowl 30-1
-Odds to make Playoffs +130
-I think this defense still gets a lot of credit from the Legion of Boom days and that's simply yesterday's news. Gone are Earl Thomas and Frank Clark. They brought in Zeke Ansah from Detroit but he's been a shell of his former self. They were middle of the pack last year defensively, giving up a little over 21ppg.
-They do face the 25th easiest schedule in the league last year, however they were +15 in turnovers last year which will regress, and I would argue offensively they may not be as good last year. They lose Doug Baldwin who I think is extremely underrated, and Rashard Penny, their 1st round pick hasn't impressed me. Excect a huge year from Chris Carson...
-We're starting to see what happens when you have to pay your QB. There's not as much money to go around and this team has regressed ever since then. It's why it's so important for teams like the Cowboys and the Rams to have success when their QBs are still on their rookie deals.
San Francisco 49ers
-Record Last Year 4-12; Missed Playoffs
-Season Win Total 7.5 -160, +120
-Odds to win NFC West 5-1
-Odds to win NFC 14-1
-Odds to win Super Bowl 40-1
-Odds to make Playoffs +215
-It's rare without any major changes that you see a team that won 4 games with a season win total around 8 the following year. That's how highly the market thinks of Jimmy G, and also the regression that professionals see in their turnover differential. This team was -25 in turnover differential last year..the 2nd worst team was Tampa Bay with -18. So that will definitely improve this season for starters...
-I love this team on paper. I think Shanahan is great, and last year had Jimmy G not gotten hurt, I think this team was more like a .500 team in just his 2nd season.
-Any and all stats from last year with San Francisco, I'm essentially throwing out, except for the penalties. They were 4th worst in the NFL 2 years ago and 7th worst last year--that's coaching and that's discipline...Must get that addressed.
-I kept hearing how bad Jimmy G was in the 1s preseason game. Remember, this is a guy coming off a torn ACL, not really playing at true game speed in over a year. He'll be fine. I think when healthy he's a top 10 QB, arguably top 5. Given a full year of health and now fully understanding Shanahan's system, I think the sky is the limit for the 49ers this season IF they can cut back on the penalties and the turnovers.
Arizona Cardinals
-Record Last Year 3-13; Missed Playoffs
-Season Win Total 5 -140, +110
-Odds to win NFC West 25-1
-Odds to win NFC 50-1
-Odds to win Super Bowl 125-1
-Odds to make Playoffs +700
-I'm still blown away by the Kliff Kingsbury hire. This is a guy who was under .500 at Texas Tech during his career there, but had the reputation as this offensive genius, even though the numbers don't back that up. Even more so than the Bengals hire of Zac Taylor, this hire is this biggest product of a league that wants to find the next Sean McVay, and teams proving they will do whatever they have to in order to get that.
-In the preseason he's come out and said they have been going very vanilla, not wanting to show much, so we're going to get a true sense for what this team is all about Week 1 vs the Lions. I think this may have actually been the reason some Under money has come in for that game.
-In terms of Kyler Murray--I like him. He's a winner, he seems to me to have that "It" factor. All reports out of camp are that he's a hit in the locker room, and guys are already buying in compared to this time last year.
-Defensively they will struggle again. 26th in ppg allowed last year, and they face the 12th hardest Strength of Schedule in the entire league, and hardest schedule of opposing offenses. Also, having to face Russell Wilson, Jimmy G, and Jared Goff 6 times during a season won't help those numbers.

It has been clear for months now that Facebook on features that allow users to share their location with friends. All that discussion could come to a head tomorrow afternoon, when Facebook holds a press event at its Palo Alto headquarters where the company is expected to finally unveil its location service.
So what do we know so far about these upcoming features? Facebook isn't hiding the fact that it's working on them. Back in March, the company changed its privacy policy saying that other users could tag you in "a photo or video or at a place." And earlier this month, a company spokesman told CNET's Caroline McCarthy, "We are working on location features and product integrations, which we'll be launching in the coming months, and we'll share more details when appropriate."
McCarthy's article offers an overview of the service based on "multiple sources familiar with the matter." The big message is that it won't just be an extra feature for Facebook users, but also a way for applications built by outside developers to use location data. The locations will come from Localeze, which also powers Twitter's Places directory. And it will likely involve the "Like" button, so users can "like" a place in the same way that they can like Pages, updates, and other items in Facebook.
Facebook was also reportedly in talks last month to acquire Hot Potato, a startup that allows users to check in to events, activities, and content. Since the news broke so recently, it's unlikely that Hot Potato's technology would be part of what Facebook unveils tomorrow. But it could suggest the company's future ambitions for the product.
If that's not enough speculation, you can also check out this editorial by Kent Lindstrom, founder and chief executive of location-based social network PlacePop. Lindstrom weighs in on likely features, then concludes:
With the best-known location-based services reporting numbers in the low single-digit millions (or fewer), it appears 99 percent of people on Facebook have never used a location-based application. So by introducing the "check-in" concept to tens of millions of people, Facebook would bring an enormous new audience to this market. Applications that used check-ins in a way similar to Facebook would likely die fast deaths. But applications that adapt – by figuring out something valuable and unique that is relevant to millions of people newly introduced to check-ins – could be transformative. So will Facebook kill all other location-based services?
My bet: no.
Of course, there's always a chance that Facebook will announce completely unrelated. After all, the company was originally rumored to launch its location feature at its f8 conference in April.
VentureBeat's mission is to be a digital town square for technical decision-makers to gain knowledge about transformative enterprise technology and transact. Discover our Briefings.
