MAXON CINEMA 4D R11.5A new version that feels like an integer release
As a favorite 3D application in the broadcast graphics community, artists will want to know that the Mograph tools have been improved dramatically. Mograph2 now contains calculations for bullet dynamics. Simply put, this means that the objects cloned within mograph can now simulate dynamic animations with the addition of a simple tag. And I'll cover the improvements made to Mograph a little later.
Another major upgrade to this version is seen within the renderer. While some might question the appeal of a render engine rebuild if they are coming to 3D for the first time, it should be pointed out that the new render process not only includes a substantially faster render engine, but also adds several new ways to view and modify your images and render settings. And I'll cover the improvements made to the render process a little later.
And as most beginner and advanced 3D artists know, creating the 3D scene, movie, or object is only the beginning of the delivery process. As such, MAXON has launched itself to the top of the broadcast design community because it is very easy to export the data to Adobe After Effects, Apple Motion and more. Now, C4D supports Apple Motion 3D data as well (similarly to the After Effects 3D data). But... you know, I'll talk more about that later.
These are the three notable changes, in very broad strokes. There are additional, perhaps less visible, but equally beneficial to animators and 3D motion designers. Of course, I'll mention a few of my favorites (so far) a little bit later.
Mograph 2 is a large umbrella which covers several different upgrades that can all be found within the family of mograph tools. In the past few years, since the introduction of the mograph cloners and effectors, 3D broadcast design has dramatically changed. It has changed not only in the style of animation, but the different creative explorations that the tools have afforded artists has modified how animators and broadcast designers think about 3D. Mograph 2 will continue to challenge animators and creative directors - to think about how they might push their own design.
Some new features in Mograph 2 include MoDynamics and MoSpline.
MoDynamics is based on Bullet physics library which quickly and easily gives animations a dynamics simulation that has not been available within the Mograph tool before. Common parameters like Gravity, Friction, Bounce will generate millions of different creative ideas in any C4D animator's hands.
The basic idea behind the MoDynamics is easy for anyone with a working knowledge of MoGraph 1. When items are added to a MoGraph cloner object, the resulting objects can be tagged with data, telling C4D that they should respond to specific dynamic forces. Other, non-mograph object can be marked with a similar tag, making them rigid bodies, recognized by those MoGraph clones who have been tagged with MoDynamics. The rest is up to a few simulation parameters which can control the relationship between the objects. No keyframes are required to create stunningly realistic relationships between the objects. For advanced users, taking advantage of some of the MoGraph tools previously at your disposal can make your animations much more engaging.

Covidien, Biovail beef up sales forces
After receiving FDA approval in March for Exalgo, a pain drug, Covidien president Timothy Wright said the company will be "significantly increasing our branded pharmaceutical sales force in 2010," according to statement. Exalgo carries a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, which mandates that healthcare providers be educated on the safe use of the drug, the statement said. Covidien plans to launch Exalgo by June.Separately, Biovail announced plans to rebuild an internal sales force in support of its CNS products, particularly an as yet unapproved form of loxapine that utilizes a new inhaler technology created by Alexza Pharmaceuticals. Biovail entered into a collaboration in February with Alexza for full commercialization rights in the US and Canada.
Biovail CEO Bill Wells called the deployment of an internal US sales force a "key component of our long-term business strategy," in a statement.
Mountain View, CA-based Alexza filed an NDA for Staccato loxapine with the FDA in December of 2009.
Depending on the breadth of FDA approval, Biovail may hire as many as 250 reps, said Nelson Isabel, VP, investor relations and corporate communications at Biovail. "Sixty to 100 [reps] will be hired for in-patient use" of Alexza, in hospitals, said Isabel. An additional 125 to 150 could be hired if the drug receives approval for out-patient use.Last May, GlaxoSmithKline divested ownership of Wellbutrin XL to Biovail, the manufacturer of the drug; Wellbutrin XL brought in $57.4 million during Q4 2009, according to company reports. Biovail dissolved its US-based sales organization in late 2006, which eliminated 200 positions.

President Barack Obama says that if Congress needs some help remembering how to pass a budget then lawmakers may want to review a 1970s-era educational cartoon called "Schoolhouse Rock!"
In an interview with CNN that aired on Friday, host Chris Cuomo asked the president if he believed Congress would get to work and pass a budget after its five-week recess or if the government would have another shutdown "which effectively punishes everybody else, except the lawmakers."
"There is a very simple way of doing this, which is the Senate passed a budget and the House passed a budget," the president explained. "And, you know, maybe you're not old enough to remember 'Schoolhouse Rock,' but…"
"Oh, I remember it," Cuomo insisted.
"You remember how the bill gets passed?" Obama continued. "You know, the — you know, the House and the Senate try to work out their differences. They pass something. They send it to me, and potentially I sign it."
"And, you know, we like to make things complicated, but this is actually not that complicated. The job of Congress — Congress doesn't have a whole lot of core responsibilities. One core responsibility is passing a budget, which they have not done yet. The other core responsibility that they've got is to pay the bills that they've already accrued."
Some Republicans in Congress have suggested in recent weeks that they would be willing to shut down the federal government in order defund the Affordable Care Act or as negotiating tactic to force Obama to repeal his signature health care reform law.
In his remarks to CNN, the president was referring to what may be the most well-known "Schoolhouse Rock" episode, "I'm Just A Bill." The 1975 animated piece traces a cartoon bill's journey through Congress as it becomes a law.
"I'm just a bill / Yes, I'm only a bill / And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill," the bill sings. "Well, it's a long, long journey / To the capital city / It's a long, long wait / While I'm sitting in committee / But I know I'll be a law someday / At least I hope and pray that I will / But today I am still just a bill."

YSR damaged state: Babu
The TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu has alleged that late Y S Rajashekara Reddy has damaged the state to that extent, which was not done by any chief minister so far. He said YSR craved for money and with the political power he spoiled the future of the state to the core. Babu asked the Congress Party to decide whether such a politician (YSR) was a mahanetha (great leader) or great burglar.
He made these statements and leveled allegations against YSR at Renigunta airport before the media on Wednesday. He has also demanded Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and Congress Party to take the responsibility over the damage caused to Andhra Pradesh by Y S Rajashekara Reddy.
Further, Babu said he had the responsibility—as a public leader— to throw light on the alleged illegalities of late YSR. To make a point, he has stressed that he took on YSR many times over the same. He alleged that Congress Party and Y S R Congress Party came together to spit venom on Telugu Desam Party. On the other hand, he said K Chandrashekara Rao and Y S Jaganmohan Reddy were playing political dramas in the state. Matters relating to match-fixing amongst parties would soon come to light, he added.

Cheapskate Reviewer: Gregory Porter and Jesse Thomas
Happy Valentine's Day, cheapskates! Thinking of proposing a relationship to that crush you've secretly loved for years, but never had the money to buy the perfect relationship-proposing-song? Well, thanks to the miracle of iTunes, now you don't have to spend a dime on your proposal. And your crush doesn't even have to know! Unless, of course, your crush is me.
Single of the Week: "Real Good Hands"—Gregory Porter. Oh, R&B. You've stolen my heart many times before. Can I listen to you all the time? No sir! But once in a while, you're simply the best, R&B. Gregory Porter sings to his soon-to-be-fiancé's parents that they'll leave her in "real good hands" with him. Now, me personally? I would never let my girl marry someone who's always wearing what looks like a beardo hat, no matter how much he sings to me about his hands. But that's not to say it's not a good song. With some heartwarming (if not incredibly sincere-sounding) lyrics and a great classic jazz feel, this song makes you go 'awww' more than once. Three out of five stars.
Indie Spotlight: "Fire"—Jesse Thomas. I have to say, this lady looks really indie. Bandanna? Check. Messy but voluminous hair? Check. Nose ring? Check. And she really needs some chap stick. Look at those indie lips. And congratulations, Chappy Lady! You have the first free iTunes song that I've liked! Don't let Jesse Thomas' sore-throat vocal beginning push you away—this song is good. With its modest but heartfelt guitar fingering leading into a powerful strings climax and ending with a sour-sweet denouement, all in 2:38, this artful combination of powerful lyrics and soft but at times powerful instrumentation captured me. Four out of five stars!
Are you a Jesse Thomas fan?

The art of "nudge" is all around us. This is not the painful squeeze on the 7.25 from Guildford to Waterloo but a tool of "behavioural economics" that has swept through the corridors of power and British boardrooms.
It is the art of gentle control. Rather than create new rules, proponents of "nudge" hail its success in altering the behaviour of citizens or customers for better outcomes – to steer people towards better decisions by presenting choices in different ways.
The popularity of the phrase stems from a 2008 book by the economist Richard Thaler and the legal scholar Cass Sunstein. Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness became required reading for policy wonks. I was amazed at how it spread. In one day of consumer briefings at the European Commission in Brussels in 2009, I was assured of its merits no fewer than three times by bureaucrats and politicians alike.
This is not some ephemeral notion; it has become a part of modern life and affects the decisions you are making, hopefully for the better.
David Cameron was so impressed that he created the Behavioural Insights Team, or "Nudge Unit", in 2010. For an initial outlay of £500,000, the idea was to tinker to save millions, or even billions.
Its success has been hotly debated in recent months but the Government was last week confident enough of its savings to announce that it would offer its wisdom to the private sector, adopting a "mutual" status of part-staff ownership, which would reduce the cost to the taxpayer.
The Nudge Unit has tried to make us greener, healthier and more generous, among other things.
But arguably it is in the world of money and personal finance that the concept has most warmly embraced. The Nudge Unit's idea to tell late payers on tax forms that most people in their towns had already paid their tax improved tax collection. And a trial to offer subsidised loft clearance worked wonders on the take‑up of loft insulation.
But the revolution extends way beyond Mr Cameron's crack team.
The very notion of auto-enrolment into pensions, for instance, was born from behavioural economics. It was first talked about in 2004 and was launched last year. By 2017, all employers will have to automatically enter staff into a pension scheme.
It means the Government can stop short of forcing Britons into a pension, with the aim of closing the huge gap between our retirement income expectations and reality. This route, so-called "paternal liberalism", avoids the need for compulsion. Of course if nudge fails then compulsion will follow in four years' time.
Even within the design of the pension that will be used most widely for auto-enrolment – the National Employment Savings Trust – "nudge" pervades. Concerned that the stock market's turbulence might spook new savers and spur an opt-out, it instead puts their money into other, lower-risk assets where returns are likely to be small but steady.
Financial planners would dispute the wisdom of such a strategy for young savers, who have the time to ride out the ups and down of the shares rollercoaster and reap the long-term benefits.
Credit cards offer another example of unhelpful "nudge". Economists as far back as 2008 discovered that including a "minimum payment" on credit card bills meant people paid off less, and ended up incurring greater interest. The industry has failed to offer a better solution and the figure continues to appear on statements.
Clearly, nudge can be used for the greater good, but inevitably it will also be used by companies keen to squeeze more from customers. Policymakers will need to stay sharp to stay ahead.

'I'm moving to Alaska, it's warmer there': Brutal cold continues to blanket the Midwest as 'once-in-a-generation' icy front prepares to paralyze the South
- Potentially record breaking freezing temperatures to continue to hit Midwest and north
- Over the next two days temperatures could drop to -43F in Minneapolis, -23F in Milwaukee and Chicago and -3F in Louisville, Kentucky
- Deep South is preparing for a 'potentially paralyzing' and 'crippling' winter storm that will hit as far south as the Gulf of Mexico
- The weather will force schools to close on Tuesday in New Orleans, Minneapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee
- Nearly 900 flights have been canceled within, into and out of the United States on Monday, according to FlightAware.com
- On Monday the Midwest was colder than the high of -4f in the nation's northernmost city of Barrow, Alaska
From Chicago and Minneapolis in the north to the Gulf Coast, Texas and Georgia in the south, 20 states are battening down the hatches as a once-in-a-generation winters storm brings record lows which forecasters are calling 'potentially paralyzing' and 'crippling'.
The second polar vortex in the space of one month - a mass of Arctic air shooting southward - is forecast to move through the U.S. South on Tuesday, bringing snow, freezing rain and high winds as bitter cold temperatures continue in the Midwest, according to the National Weather Service.
Over the next two days temperatures will range from the teens to below zero, and the wind chills will be even colder, reaching -43F in Minneapolis, -23F in Milwaukee and Chicago, -14F in Kansas City, Missouri, and -3F in Louisville, Kentucky.

Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and other parts of the upper Midwest are forecast to have a second consecutive day of subzero highs on Tuesday, while most of the Northeast will see highs in the single digits and teens on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to Accuweather.com.
Lows overnight into Tuesday were forecast to plummet to 5 degrees below zero in Detroit and 20 below in Chicago, where school was already called off for Tuesday.
Thirty-five of the past 50 days have seen snow falling in Chicago, something that has happened only 13 times in the recorded past.
'This is similar to what we had three weeks
ago' in terms of life-threatening conditions, said Sarah Marquardt, a
National Weather Service meteorologist.
'With wind chills in the minus 30 to minus 40 range, you can get frostbite within 10 minutes on exposed skin.'

There was no easing up in the brutal winter weather towards the end January for much of the East Coast and Midwest
More than 500 flights had been canceled from Chicago airports as more Arctic blasts pummeled the East Coast and Midwest on Monday
National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Krein blamed the weather on a surge of arctic high pressure out of Canada that has spread over the upper Midwest and central plains.
The National Weather Service issued winter storm alerts for Tuesday all the way from central Texas eastward through the Gulf Coast into Georgia, the Carolinas and far southeast Virginia.
Tom Niziol, a weather expert for The Weather Channel, told NBC that the South was in for weather 'that many parts have not seen in years' - claiming it could be the biggest winter weather event in a generation.
Forecasters are expecting up to six inches of snow to fall across some parts of the south - a region which barely sees snow.
'We're very concerned about a potentially crippling snowstorm for southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry of South Carolina,' said Weather Channel meteorologist Nick Wiltgen.
The persistent weather pattern was driving bitterly cold air south from the Arctic sending temperatures plunging across the U.S.
The blasts of Arctic air have been relentless so far this month for many cities east of the Rockies. Unfortunately, for many areas January will end before any significant relief can arrive
At the same time, the Great Lakes and the Midwest suffered wind chills that approached 50 degrees below zero.
School officials in major cities across the region — Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; Chicago; Milwaukee, Detroit, Minneapolis and Indianapolis — said classes would be canceled Tuesday.
'We're going to be talking about some seriously cold mornings,' with temperatures as much as 35 degrees below normal for what is already historically the coldest time of the year, Weather Channel meteorologist Alex Winter said to NBC News.
Even weather-hardy Midwesterners expressed weariness on Monday with the sub-zero cold snap, the second this month.

Cold: A trainer exercises a horse around a track during a snowstorm Monday, Jan. 27, 2014, in Northfield, Ohio. Emergency agencies urged Ohioans to heed safety warnings Monday as the state entered another deep freeze forecast through Tuesday
'I'm moving to Alaska where it's warmer,' Kathy Berg said in jest to CBS News on her commute in Chicago.
"I'm real sick of it," said Romik Stewart, 20, who was waiting for a bus in Milwaukee to go to his job at a fast food restaurant. "I've had enough of this already. It's too much."
Tulane University in New Orleans, University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and The Ohio State University in Columbus have canceled classes ahead of Tuesday's storm.
Amtrak has also canceled a number of train routes in and out of Chicago on Tuesday because of the frigid weather conditions.
For much of the South, a winter storm warning will be in effect on Tuesday, including in New Orleans where winds will gust and ice and snow will accumulate on the roads, making travel hazardous, according to the National Weather Service.

Ice surrounds the boat docks in the harbor at 31st Street Beach as Chicago braced for another round of severe cold as temperatures are expected to drop to -15 to -20 degrees this evening and wind chills are anticipated as low as -25 to -45 degrees through Wednesday
Heavy snow was expected beginning on Tuesday across eastern North Carolina, while coastal South Carolina will get rare ice accumulation with some snow and temperatures will be below freezing on Tuesday and Wednesday, the National Weather Service predicts.
The frigid temperatures also were causing ice to accumulate on the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, slowing the movement of grain barges to the U.S. Gulf, according to Drew Lerner, a meteorologist at World Weather Inc.
"I'm very ready for the spring," said 18-year-old Caroline Burns, a student at Marquette University in Milwaukee, as she walked from her residence hall to class.
Nearly 900 flights have been canceled within, into and out of the United States on Monday, according to FlightAware.com, which tracks flights.
Wind gusts of up to 35 mph knocked down power lines in the Dallas-Forth Worth area in Texas and temperatures were expected to fall into the 20s overnight from highs in the 60s and 70s over the weekend, the weather service said.

Lifetime Vivitar USA Warranty
Vivitar 58mm UV Glass Filter
Protect your lens and enhance your photos
The Vivitar UV Filter is a multi-purpose glass filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience.

This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times.
Key Features:

Each lens is supplied with front and rear lens caps, and soft case for protection.
These lenses will fit the following filter mounts: 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm

Essential items for the proper maintenance of your equipment.

Serves 6 as a main dish, 8 to 10 as a side dish
For the sesame dressing
- 3/4 cup sesame seeds plus 1 tablespoon
- 7 tablespoons peanut oil
- 3 medium or 2 large shallots (about 2 ounces total), sliced
- 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste -- if making vegan, use cane sugar)
- 1 teaspoon hot chile paste
- 3/4 to 1 cups water (or less)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
For the noodles:
- 12ounces fresh Chinese egg noodles (sometimes called wonton noodles) or other long thin noodles of your choice
- 3tablespoons peanut oil
- 1cup blanched snow peas, thinly sliced
- 1red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1cup daikon radish, thinly sliced
- 1cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2cup chopped peanuts
- 1cup scallions, thinly sliced
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Put the sesame seeds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until golden brown and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them. Put the toasted seeds in a blender.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil over medium-low heat. Sauté the shallots and garlic until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Add the shallots, garlic, remaining 6 tablespoons peanut oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chile paste to the sesame seeds in the blender. Blend on high speed just until a thick, rough paste forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop blending when most of the seeds have broken up and been puréed. After the paste forms, it will begin to get oily if you continue to purée it, as the seeds begin to give off their oil. If you have time, refrigerate the purée (for up to a day).
- Bring a large pot of unsalted water to a rolling boil. Cook the noodles per package directions. If using fresh Chinese egg noodles, gently fluff the noodles and add them to the water, stirring. Return the water to a boil and cook the noodles for just 10 to 30 seconds. (These tiny fresh noodles don't need much cooking. If it takes a minute or more for the water to come back to a boil, the noodles will already be done.) Drain the noodles immediately and cool them under cold running water. Drain well. Put the cold noodles in a bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons peanut oil.
- When ready to dress the noodles, drain off any oil that has gathered on the top of the purée. Whisk about 3/4 cup water into the purée to thin it and to reach a creamy consistency; the sauce will lighten in color and become emulsified; add more water as needed. Add the chopped cilantro to the sauce.
- In a large bowl, toss the noodles with about half the dressing. Add the snow peas, red pepper, and daikon, and toss to combine (using your hands is easiest). Add more dressing if you like. Put the noodles in a large serving bowl or on individual plates. Garnish with the cilantro leaves, chopped peanuts, and sliced scallions, or pass little bowls of the garnishes at the table

I found them over 2 years ago in an Op Shop (charity shop) and swore to myself that I would "do something with them" as I forked over the princely sum of $30. Saying "I'll do something with them" is kind of like how I say "Yeah, I'm almost ready......... " as Zac and I race out the door everyday (we carpool). It's usually followed by, "I just need to grab..."
Anyway, back to business. My favourite feature of this little number was her curvy bottom (!), handles and the good joinery-dovetail joints, no glue here!
|The labels read "pants" and "pyjamas", in case you were wondering....
2 years later, I gave up my full time job and got stuck into DIYing so that I didn't continually think to myself "Oh gosh, what did I just do?"
Cue: Bunnings
I got stuck into sanding, wiping and masking up my pattern. I had an idea for the front of the drawers (Bold! Geometric! Pattern!) and also a little idea to keep some wood showing on the bottom of each of the legs - like little socks.
I wasn't sure what to do with the top though. Should I paint the whole thing white? Leave it Wooden? Leave an edge? I decided to finish every other piece of masking off and wait to see what it needed.
It definitely needed something, so where it started to curve downward I taped that off to keep the wood showing after I painted it.
Here's a shot of how it looked taped up:
Then I got stuck into painting a layer of primer. Very thin coats that dried really quickly, but I left them for a full day because Autumn was setting in and it wasn't so hot anymore. I wanted that paint D-R-Y.
I broke out my gloss white and painted two thin coats over the primer, waiting a day or two between each coat.
Finally, I got to pull off that tape. It was such a relief to see it come off cleanly and to reveal that smoking hot wood beneath it.
Take a look!
I love everything about her, her daring chevron, her curvy bottom and her sweet socks. The edge around the top pulls the whole look together. I've since reattached her original drawer pulls, I'll put a photo up once I finish the office room.
Cost Breakdown:
Drawers $30
Sanding Sheets $6
Primer $20
White Gloss Paint 1L $40
Painters Tape $5
I didn't even come close to using all of the painter's tape, white gloss paint, primer or sanding sheets, but I have a couple of other projects in mind to turn our office room into a place we actually want to be in. Stay Tuned!
As for the drawers, she is now located in our office room, full of stationery supplies and making me smile every time I walk in. Don't you think her curvy bottom looks much better this colour? You didn't even notice it before.. it's the furniture equivalent of a mini skirt.
Onto the next project!
xoxo Clare

Holiday Gift Guide
by Caroline
The holidays are right around the corner and you're gearing up to spend it with loved ones. What better way to spoil them then finding them some awesome wintertime gifts from Paris. Here are our top picks for this season:
For the Stylish Overacheiver:
It's no secret we've been a fan of Kasia Dietz's handbags for awhile, but have we mentioned how much we love her new Istanbul and Bali print bags?! They're great for toting around your laptop and work related gadgets, plus the exotic print will make you feel like you're on a mental escape from the office. You also can't go wrong with her classic Rive Gauche or Rive Droite bags which allow you to flaunt your pride for your preferred side of the river.
For the Etsy Afficionado:
We're more than a little obsessed with Rebecca Plotnick's cool Paris prints on Etsy. This is the perfect gift for all of those who want to be able to frame a little piece of Paris in their home. Whether you're looking to hang a picture of snowy Montmartre or a black and white photo of Pont des Arts, Plotnick captures the beauty of the City of Light perfectly. There's a print that'll suit everyone on your Christmas list!
For the Refined Taste Connoisseur:
This wouldn't be a proper Paris gift list without including some classic indulgences that transcend the test of time. For a proper tea-time, you can't go wrong with one of Mariage Frères's savory teas. This high quality tea apothecary allows you to choose from dozens of well blended flavors that range from mild to exotic. Be sure to check out their special holiday themed teas. To accompany your tea party, don't forget the cute edibles that add color to your table. Ladurée offers the world's most renowned macaroons and they've even expanded their reach to New York. Your guests will be singing your praises after you bring them a variety box of these sweet treats.
For the Photogenic Superstar:
A photograph is the ultimate keepsake for those coming to Paris over the holidays. Rather than just taking photos of the famous landmarks, why not get your photo taken in front of them to forever capture your delight while exploring this magical city? Lindsey Kent is our go to girl for snapping photos of you during your stay in Paris. Not only is she fun to be around, she brings out the natural and simple elegance of those whom she photographs. For more info on setting up a shoot with her, check out her website here.

Unfortunately I'm unable to do any micro philanthropy this month. I've barely earned enough to cover my own bills. Add to that it's MOT & road tax month and I'm pretty much broke. Also not sure how I'm going to make my 'donation' of £600 to the taxman by the end of the month. If you think £600 doesn't sound like much please bear in mind I'm a self employed wall and floor tiler and so have also had over £3000 in taxable expenses for the 2009 – 2010 year.
I sure hope more tiling work comes in soon as I've still got to find next months rent as well! January is always slow for work as most people are still recovering financially from the cost of Christmas. On the positive side at least I've no longer got any credit card debt as I've been debt free at last since last November.
I'm sure hoping I can get back to micro philanthroy by the end of Febuary at the latest.

Survey Asks ESF Community: How Do You Get to School?
Information about commuting helps track sustainability efforts
The ESF Office of Energy and Sustainability is gathering information about the commuting habits of ESF faculty, staff and students to help track the college's overall sustainability achievements.
In a survey distributed via email Oct. 3, members of the college community were asked questions about how they travel to campus and how often they make the trip. The purpose of the survey is to collect information about ESF's greenhouse gas emissions.
"The survey gathers information about the college's commute modal split, or the way people travel to the campus," said Andrea Webster, a graduate student who serves as the ESF sustainability coordinator. "This information will aid many programs and allow the Office of Energy and Sustainability to see how we can better promote sustainable commuting."
The questions delve into how far participants live from campus, how they travel to campus and if their habits change during the summer. The answers will be calculated using Clean Air Cool Planet's Campus Carbon Calculator for greenhouse gas accounting. Results will provide information about faculty and staff as one group, and undergraduate and graduate students as another.
ESF's sustainability efforts are guided by its commitment to be carbon neutral by 2015. The college's Climate Action Plan outlines a combination of renewable energy projects, sustainable construction, energy conservation and forestland management to erase ESF's carbon footprint. The plan was developed as part of ESF's participation in the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment.
ESF gauges its sustainability efforts through the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education's Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS), a framework used by colleges and universities to measure their sustainability performances. Last spring, ESF received a STARS Silver Rating for its sustainability efforts. Another assessment will be conducted in the spring of 2014; college leaders hope to achieve a Gold Rating in that assessment.
The Office of Energy and Sustainability has hired ESF graduate student Aayushi Patel to collect and analyze the responses to the survey. Participants have been asked to return the survey by Oct. 22 and results are expected by early November.

Women Workers Pay the Price for the Global Economic Crisis
New research by Oxfam International uncovers a hidden aspect of the global economic crisis – its impact on women.
"First the company reduced our pay, then we lost our jobs. They have refused to pay us severance or other benefits. Since I lost my job sometimes we eat only once or twice a day. I don't know what to do, we are just camping in front of the factory gates, waiting for the company to pay us."
Ms. Kry Chamnan, Cambodia, February 2009.
Ms. Chamnan's story is not unusual – it is echoed by women in countries across Asia and Latin America who participated in Oxfam's research. Women workers are the backbone of industries that have been hit hard by the global economic crisis and women tend to be concentrated in insecure jobs with meagre earnings and few rights.
Oxfam's research suggests that as supply chains are squeezed by falling global demand, women in export manufacturing, garments and services are often first to be laid off, with employers leaving pay outstanding and evading legal obligations to give notice and pay compensation, with governments often turning a blind eye.
The International Labor Organization (ILO) predicts that the global economic crisis will plunge a further 22 million women into unemployment, make female unemployment higher than male unemployment, and make the ratio of women pushed into insecure jobs this year higher than for men.
Failure to act now to protect women and children in poverty from the economic crisis will have a disastrous impact on global development in general, and women's rights, livelihoods, and families.

one week later after my obagi blue peel last week, and here I am, at Day 7. yes, there's a little more, just a tad more peeling.
yuh me all bug-eyed!the reason why i jumped at the offer for the chemical peel, those fine lines above my brow. those were actually deeper that i made shallower thanks to snail creams. but i guess it plateaued to just what you see, so i wanted to take it a little further with peels. and of course those visible pits, my big pores since i have oily skin on my t-zone.
but as you can see, even on day 7, i'm only exfoliating around my t-zone area and quite mildly at that.
so unlike the other bloggers who have undergone the same blue peel and who look as though they went through some zombie apocalypse.
more of my forehead
and some around my cheek.
and that line.
and some around my chin.
and on the other side.
am i over the top underwhelmed? uhhh yeah, i suppose. good grief, even my mom, scared me sh!tle$$ telling me 'oh noes!, child, you iz gonna hafta wash your face with cold, ice cold water! that's how stingin' it gonna feel' yeah we talk lolcats icanhazcheeseburger that way :P
so i go back to the clinic and spoke to Doctor Pua for my follow up appointment, and well, even he was surprised that this is as much peeling i've been having since day 4.
as they say in all things medical, organic, and biologic, it's a case to case basis. that some even go for an entire week before ANY peeling starts.
- wear makeup again
- allowed to go back on my snail cream regimen or whatever else i do
- a little more peeling in the coming days since i may be a delayed peeler
- whatever effect i did get from this chemical peel to last about a month and a half (which is about the time i can have another chemical peel done again, and on that occasion, be at 20% [of their blue peel])
- take it easy on my skin
- keep using that skin hydrating cream i got pwnd in buying
- use the gentlest most topical makeup, and that my friends is mineral makeup, i guess it's back to 2009 for me for at least a week.

Glyndebourne Stays recommended by Tatler, The Daily Telegraph and Bises magazine (Japan)
A trip to Glyndebourne Opera is a real treat but for those not living nearby can involve hours of preparation then a long drive to the opera and the same home afterwards when tired.
At The Cottage in the Garden we offer an alternative:
How to take the performance out of the Performance
You could stay with us for 3 days and make your visit a relaxing one for our normal
3 day price or alternatively you could decide to make it truly special and make use
of one of our special Glyndebourne offers below.
The Cottage sleeps one couple in considerable comfort.
To make your trip as relaxing and as memorable as possible we suggest the following alternatives:-
Short 3 day package
Day 1. Arrive at the cottage, unpack your glad rags (no need to drive miles in evening dress) rest and relax, You might wish to eat at a local pub or restaurant, self cater in the very well equipped kitchen, or take advantage of our truly relaxing gourmet arrival supper at the additonal cost of £90 per couple for supper (see our Welcome Supper).
Day 2.When you are ready to drive the 20-25 minute cross country journey to Glyndebourne Opera we will deliver to your car your pre-chosen Opera hamper and if, rather than use the tables provided by the theatre you wish to picnic alfresco, a picnic table and chairs or the traditional rug.

When I saw this image, I knew I had to have it. Since it wasn't available in apparel or greeting card format, I bought it as a poster and bought a frame so I could hang it in my room. I had to crop the white border by hand, though. Easier said than done, believe me. But the results are worth it. Rarely have I seen such a splendid combination of innocence and female beauty.

Inspired by Montreal dancer Mariko Tanabe this piece brings the dancer's body to the point of impact with the ground. Her feet absorb the shock of landing while her body prepares to launch itself into the next explosion of energy and passion. The thorny brambles of her hair are expressive of the wild, ecstatic rage inherent in her dance. Winner of: Gold Medallion 4th in Sculpture category at: Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte Contemporanea, Florence, Italy, 2003.
My life in art began in earnest at the age of eleven in Wellesley, Ontario. Being utterly captivated by a film of an Inuit carver creating an image full of magic and power from a raw lump of stone, I determined then and there to become a carver. A Christmas gift of a small set of high quality carving tools began a passion that has never abated. After leaving O.C.A. in 1969 I traveled and worked around the world for nearly a decade; building houses and fighting forest fires in the Yukon, picking potatoes in England, washing pots in Paris, doing hotel laundry in Switzerland, (where I learned to speak French), building more houses in New Zealand and managing exploration work in northern Australia. My travels included several months in Central...

My inquisitors look at me askance, resolving silently to ask someone who really knows the U.S. market. But I beat them to it. A highly scientific straw poll of the two groups who need to know-Advertising Age journalists, who want to write about them, and worldwide agency CEOs, who want to buy them-revealed: there aren't any. "Any" means plain, simple advertising start-ups, not the innumerable dot-com start-ups that have come and gone.
Some people shout Cliff Freeman, Kirshenbaum & Bond, or Dweck, but these are, in advertising terms, near-institutions. Even the last-named was already nine years old before it called it a day just over a week ago. They are/were hot, perhaps, but they are no more new than a Wieden & Kennedy or a Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.
In the last 18 months, the only notable start-up in New York has been Bouchez Kent, a breakaway from Bozell, which is a handicap in the hot stakes right there. It has not yet set Manhattan on fire, which is not to say that it won't. Winning the Nasdaq account, for which it is short-listed, would be a start.
Randall Rothenberg argued in his column last week that the last recession killed off the start-up in New York. Others say there is over-supply-does Madison Avenue need another ad agency? But there is even more of a boom-bust cycle in Europe, where the 1989-91 recession felt more like 1988-1993, and both London and Paris need another ad agency like they need another rock and roll/Buddha-themed restaurant.
Nevertheless, agencies start up continuously across the Atlantic. Even conservative Germany nourishes the new: Hamburg's Grabarz & Partner recently stunned the industry there by landing some major Volkswagen business. In France, Louis XIV powers ahead with brands such as Audi, Johnson & Johnson, Neutrogena and Givenchy. Amsterdam, too, has seen both KesselsKramer and 180 flourish.
London is start-up heaven. It's worth quoting that wise owl of British advertising, BMP DDB Chairman Chris Powell, who says "any two fools can get together and buy a brass plaque and start an advertising agency" before, typically, skipping a beat and observing dryly, "and they often do."
Perhaps. But while New York was a desert, agencies such as Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe, Mustoe Merriman Herring Levy, Mother, and Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy became real entities, winning both business and awards recognition. Rainey Kelly even completed a seven-year cycle selling up to Young & Rubicam. There have been media independent start-ups, too: Michaelides & Bednash, Unity and Naked. Still more recently there have been the creative agencies, Soul and Clemmow Hornby Inge, both of which are pregnant with talent.
Why do start-ups flourish in London or Paris or Brazil (where both Age and Neogama are off to flying starts) and not in New York? It's not the recession; it's absolutely not that there are fewer entrepreneurs. In truth, it's all about scale. There's too much at stake in New York. The numbers are too great. Caution prevails; it's business not art. Even if there were clients ready to try a hungry start-up on a smaller brand, that "smaller" brand may require greater resources than a start-up can muster.
Plus, the rewards for staying on in New York big agency life can be enormous. You don't have to start up an agency, go through all the pain of doing it yourself, and establish your principles and values only to prostitute them before the giant conglomerate to which you sell. In New York, you can get wildly rich by staying at Y&R. But I bet you won't have as much fun. There are no hot start-ups in New York? How I'd love to be proved wrong.

We begin with Kate accusing Lucas of taking her gun. She wants him to come clean. He admits to taking the gun.
EJ in front of the pub. His phone rings. It's Abigail. She is not going to continue this lie. EJ wants to meet her and she agrees. Rafe comes along and wants to know what's up.
Jordan comes along and sees Abigail. Are you okay, she asks? Abigail says she's worried she got Ben in trouble.
NuBen (with no voice over) and Hope is questioning him. NuBen is hot for the split second I saw him.
Oh LORD. Dannifer. Jenn-Jenn wants to know what the deal is with Nicole.
We see the elope scene with Ericole again.
|May 22 2014, 11:06 AM Post #6
Kate says "I knew it." Lucas is all cagey and wants to know why Kate isn't giving him the benefit of the doubt. She says you stole my gun. Lucas doesn't straight up deny killing Nick.
Rafe wants to talk to EJ about Gabi.
Jen-Jen wants to know what the Nicole secret is. She's WAITING. St. Orange says he can't talk about it until Nicole deals with it, but he says it's probably been dealt with. Making him stupid.
Nicole shows some actual spark when she tells Eric that they are in rush because someone is trying to keep them apart.
|May 22 2014, 11:12 AM Post #7
Rafe and EJ are going over the custody agreement - and EJ is showing Rafe the language about Rafe staying in Ari's life. Rafe doesn't believe EJ is doing this out of the goodness of his heart. Rafe wants to know what's in it for EJ?
Jordan doesn't act like she knows Ben well. They talk about the police questioning Ben.
Ben is telling Hope what she thinks. Hope says she's the lead detective. Ben says he watches a lot of Law and Order. Hope wants to know why Nick and Ben fight.
Lucas tells Kate that he stole Kate's gun because he didn't want Allie around a gun. Kate doesn't buy it. Line of the day to Kate: "I raised you to be a better liar than that."
|May 22 2014, 11:14 AM Post #8
Eric says we don't need to rush. Nicole argues in favor of eloping because Marlena and Sami will never be on board with their marriage. She says Sami will use ever dirty trick in the book and Nicole says she won't let that happen.
Abe and Maxine show up at St. Orange's place. Dannifer forgot they had plans with Maxine and Abe.
|May 22 2014, 11:15 AM Post #9
|Nicole doesn't want to lose Eric and says she loves him. She pushes the elopement. She thinks it's now or never.
|May 22 2014, 11:22 AM Post #10
In the understatement of the year, EJ says he understands that Rafe is wary. EJ says they agree about what's right for children ...and Rafe says the only thing they agree on is that.
Abigail continues her apology but Jordan leaves quickly.
Hope is interested in Ben's story. He says he didn't know Abigail very well but he isn't going to stand by and let a man treat a woman that way. Hope asks if Nick was threatening Abigail and Ben says "it looked that way." Hope gets a call and tells Ben they are done but not to leave town. Ben "I like it here."
Kate is telling Lucas to go to Croatia and it's a beautiful country. Lucas tells Kate he surrendered his passport.

Loved Benson as Abby and Musgrave as Chelsea. I remember being so upset when Chelsea was recast. Melvin totally grew into the role, though.
And as much as I love Mansi now, Benson will always be Abby to me. The resemblence to Melissa Reeves is just insane!

Jennifer and Abe are going to the store. Maxine tells Dan that she feels guilty because she's using Dannifer as a crutch. Maxine says thinks things are off with her and Abe. Abe and Maxine have decided to remain friends. Dan says he wants what Maxine wants. She hugs Dan and says - no lie - he's the best friend anyone could have. *sigh*
Nicole and Eric. He says maybe elopement is the right thing. Nicole gets in his lap and says they could be in Vegas by dinner. Eric says we can't get married tonight. Eric says they need to give Jennifer and Daniel notice so they can come. Remember everyone: The world revolves around Jennifer and Daniel.

|All I can say is if him keeping the truth from Sainted Jennifer is the cause of her dumping him FOR GOOD then all this BORING stupid shit is worth it.

Lucas tells Kate that he was furious at Nick over the custody and he did take the gun to kill Nick but someone beat him to it. He says he didn't tell Hope this part of the story. Kate wants to know where her gun is, and Lucas said he threw it in the river. And Kate says Hope suspects you and now I do to. Then....Kate realizes that Lucas is setting himself up. (Meaning that Lucas is probably wanting to take the fall for Will again.)
HotNuBen talks to Jordan on the phone. He says that he did not tell Hope they are siblings. Ben says our secret is safe, he won't find us. Abigail comes upon Ben and after he hangs up he says everything is fine and he wouldn't expect anything but the truth from her. (He's not much of an actor, but hot.)
Jennifer is telling Abe about her Daniel angst. Maxine wants to know what's up with Daniel...and Daniel says he can't talk. She presses. And Daniel says he feels like he failed someone. (world revolves around st. orange) and he feels like he was a bad friend or something.
Nicole tries to talk Eric out of pressuring Dannifer into coming to Vegas.

BUT I have a funny feeling that he will be with Nicole because I am sure saintly Eric won't take Nicole back after what she has done. I despise Dr. Do me a patient but I hate him more with Jennifer. I just hope she leaves Salem soon.

A motorcycle driver with an expired license decided he didn't want to go to jail early Sunday morning. So when Department of Public Safety troopers tried to pull him over for a routine traffic stop, he took off.
Troopers chased him while he drove at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour for twenty minutes.
The crazy ride finally came to an end at the intersection of South Post Oak and Brookston.
The driver was also hit in the leg and taken to the hospital in stable condition. The Texas Rangers are now investigating the shooting.
We hope the motorcycle driver has learned his lesson. You can run but you can't hide.
