One Good Story, That One
StoriesBook - 1993
Named in the University of Toronto Bookstore Review as one of the top100 Canadian books of all time
There is much more than one good story in this bestselling (over 10,000 copies sold) collection of short fiction. In fact, there are more than a few of the best examples of native storytelling ever published. Thomas King, author of the acclaimed Medicine River and Green Grass, Running Water, and the newly released Truth and Bright Water, has proven he has a magical gift, a fresh voice and a special brand of wit and comic imagination.
One Good Story, That One is steeped in native oral tradition, led off by a sly creation tale, introducing the traditional native trickster coyote. Weaving the realities of native history and contemporary life through the story, King recounts a parodic version of the Garden of Eden story, slyly pulling our leg and our funnybone.
A collection that is rich with strong characters, alive with crisp dialogue and shot through with the universal truths we are all searching for, One Good Story, That One is one great read.

Lighten up your life! Tune into your voice, challenge the status quo & learn to laugh along the way
FEES from $300 USD to $1000 USD for coaching packages. more...Request a free consultation Contact Me
I'm Sara Armour. I'm a life coach and a comedian.
I'm as judgmental as you, insecure as you, and as afraid I-might- be-the-greatest-of-all-time as you. My mother thinks I'm a star. I have been vision boarding since birth.
I did stand-up once in high school, and again in college and then not again for 7 years. I went to film school for screenwriting and then therapy for writers block. I always knew what I wanted to do but couldn't seem to do it. I spent years visualizing my Emmy/Oscar/Tony/Globe/Woman of the Year/Man of the Year acceptance speech and yet wasn't doing any of the actual work to get there. Then I'd judge myself for not doing the work, be jealous of entertainers who were ahead of me, and then lie to myself that I COULD REALLY BE GOOD AT SELLING HIGH END REAL ESTATE and scream at my Mom when she'd encourage me to get back on stage.
Then I got set up with a coach. It was for free, as a favor to a friend.
I cried for an hour about comedy. And my ego. And I couldn't more...
Clients of mine have all achieved greater happiness!! Some have quit their day jobs, fallen in love and gotten married, sold book deals, sold TV pilots, started performing stand-up comedy, started producing comedy shows, started podcasts, attracted entertainment agents and management, and defined their own processes for accessing spirituality and self-care.
One-one-one for an hour, or in small groups, we talk. I ask questions and reflect all parts of you back to yourself -- even the parts that are hard for you to be with. We call out patterns, explore any hurts or beliefs that are holding you back, and dare to do things we thought we'd never do. I will always help you laugh at yourself and the world, and I will always be there when you need a good cry, pep talk, or kick in the pants. Let's team up and change your life.
60 minute phone calls once a week. We set a contract based on what your goals and timeline are.
Comedy Camp: This 6-month virtual small group coaching program is designed specifically for people with a current comedy project that they want to accelerate/be in the process with other creatives in a supportive way. All levels welcome. Perfect for someone who wants to get started doing stand-up or take their stand-up to the next level, work on their one-person show, book, script, film, whatever!
Camp Cupid: Six month small group program where we focus on your heart and soul. We'll start by evaluating your life in terms of love -- are you loving your mind? your body? Your work? Do you love how you spend your time? Do you love your home? Could your relationships be more loving? Could your love life be juicer? Could your sex life be revamped? Then we'll spend 6-month's together making sure that by this time next year, you are deeply satisfied.
Fees: from $300 USD to $1000 USD
$300/month for small group coaching programs. $1000/month for 1:1 coaching, $800/month for 1:1 coaching with a 6 month contract or longer.

The steel works are often my response to an opportunity to work on a large scale and or in the public domain. Steel I have found to be a durable material and less vulnerable to the elements. Long steel rods are not unlike a drawn line and for me the process is akin to three dimensional drawing.
The opportunity to work in the public domain is always an exciting venture. The scale in which such works are encompassed and the challenge of design constraints are an engagement I relish. Two distinct threads of the work have emerged at this point and both provide an ongoing evolution of form.

Bankruptcy and its effect on tax debt are often misunderstood. You may have heard bankruptcy cannot remove your tax debts. Fortunately, this is not true. Although there are types of tax, such as property tax and employment tax, that are immune to bankruptcy, it is possible to get rid of income tax debt by filing under one of the many bankruptcy provisions – such as Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. That's not to say discharging tax debt with bankruptcy is easy or automatic. Not by a long shot. This guide will look at the criteria used to determine whether you can discharge tax debt by filing for bankruptcy.
Disclaimer: This is a disclaimer you need to read
To say that bankruptcy law is complex is an understatement. Combine bankruptcy law with tax law and you have yourself a legal Molotov cocktail. Although it is smart to educate yourself in both tax law and bankruptcy law, it isn't smart to try to discharge tax debt with a bankruptcy by yourself. Do yourself a favor and hire a bankruptcy lawyer. It is too easy to make expensive mistakes, particularly when you're also dealing with the IRS. If you can't afford a tax attorney, then you probably qualify for tax relief program.
Criteria One: Due Date for Filing Tax Return Must Be Three or More Years Ago
Your tax return must have been originally due at least three years before you filed for bankruptcy. This due date includes any filing extensions. Therefore, to determine if your tax debt is dischargeable in bankruptcy, you must have actually filed your taxes three years ago.
Criteria Two: Tax Return Filed at Least Two Years Ago
The tax return for the debt you wish to discharge must have been filed at least two years before filing for bankruptcy. The time is measured from the date you actually filed the return not when it was due. Additionally, if the IRS filed the return for you – called Substitute for Return – you never officially filed. Therefore, you do not meet this test.
Criteria Three: Tax Assessment at Least 240 Days Old
The IRS routinely assesses taxes on unfiled returns. If this happens to you, your tax assessment must occur at least 240 days prior to filing for bankruptcy. If the 240th day prior to the bankruptcy petition falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the relevant period is extended back to the prior business day.
Reasons for the tax assessment may include:
- The taxpayer reports a balance due
- An IRS audit determines a balance due
- An IRS proposed assessment becomes final
However, this tax liability cannot be discharged until you file a tax return for the year in question.
Criteria Four: Taxpayer Not Guilty of Fraud
You are ineligible for tax-debt bankruptcy protection if you filed a fraudulent tax return. This occurs when you knowingly fail to file your income tax return or falsify information on your tax return.
The line between unintentional negligence and fraud is not always clear. That is why many people leave tax preparation to the experts.
Criteria Five: Taxpayer Cannot be Guilty of Tax Evasion
You are ineligible for tax-debt bankruptcy protection if you willfully tried to evade paying taxes. What does the IRS consider as tax evasion? Any type of action where you avoid to meet you tax obligation. As you can imagine, there is a fine line between tax mitigation, which is completely legal, and tax evasion, which could land you in jail for a few years. If you have any doubt about how the IRS will interpret your "tax mitigation" strategy, talk to a tax attorney or a tax relief company that employs tax lawyers.
Tax Fraud vs Tax Evasion
Tax fraud and tax evasion are tax crimes punishable under criminal and civil laws. In most contexts, they refer to the same thing. If you want to get technical, tax evasion is a subset of tax fraud and is often used in r They include such actions as:
- Falsifying tax documents
- Failure to file a tax return
- Failure to state the correct income earned
- Overstating deductions and exemptions
- Reporting personal expenses as business expenses
Bankruptcy Cannot Eliminate All Tax Debt
Though bankruptcy can discharge much of your tax debt, there are certain instances when a tax liability cannot be discharged. Bankruptcy cannot eliminate:
- Taxes other than income, including payroll taxes, property taxes, and fraud penalties.
- A federal tax lien attached to your assets.
- Tax debts that arise due to unfiled tax returns, unless you subsequently choose to file a tax return for that year.
- A liability assessed by the IRS under the Substitute for Return program.
Generally, when you owe a debt, the amount canceled or forgiven is considered income. That income is taxable. However, when a debt is canceled under a bankruptcy proceeding, the amount canceled is not income.
Before you choose bankruptcy as your way out of paying back taxes and the associated interest, penalties, and fees, make sure you have all the facts. Bankruptcy is not an action that you should enter into lightly. Speak with a tax professional to make sure it is the right move for you.

Step back in time & relax in our beautiful studio/loft apartment which is set in the heart of the Medieval Historical centre of Sarlat. Our apartment is set at the top of a stone spiral staircase in a 15th century townhouse overlooking the old roof tops of Sarlat. The apartment is L shaped with a high, light and airy oak beamed ceiling & stone walls. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for those romantic dinners for 2 (if you can tear yourselves away from those gourmet restaurants) comprising of : small oven, microwave, fridge and large 3 drawer freezer, small dish washer, 2 ring electric hob, kettle, electric coffee machine, plenty of plates, cutlery, saucepans, cups , glasses and some pantry items.The washing machine is housed in the bathroom. The bathroom is perfect for that relaxing bubble bath soak after all the sightseeing the shower is incorporated in the bath . The lounge has a dining table which can comfortaby seat 4 a 2 seater sofa an armchair, coffee table, TV/DVD plus UK satelite tv and a selection of dvd's and the wonderful roof top view. The cosy beamed bedroom is set in an alcove off the lounge area with double bed , small set of drawers and 2 bedside tables. We have a travel cot and also a very comfortable air mattress that can be used in the lounge or up in the mezzanine.
There is a small wardrobe in the lounge area.. The oak stairs lead up to the mezzanine among the beams where you can relax and plan your days ahead with maps, books and chill out listening to your favourite music on a docking system. On leaving the building you step right into the heart of Sarlat, surrounded by Shops, Restaurants, Cafes, Markets, art galleries and the Cathederal of St Sacredos.
SARLAT : Sarlat dates back to around the 9th Century and some say before , but it was probably at the beginning of the 9th Century, with the founding of a Benedictine abbey that the real history of the city began. As time went on Sarlat evolved even coming under English rule for 10 years in 1360.! following repeated episodes of plague, famine & flooding and local uprising - Sarlat remained unchanged - indeed forgotten and slowly fell into dis-repair, totally unsuited to modern day living with narrow streets & lack of sanitation. But this handicap was to become an asset when the city was one of the first to benefit from the Malrux law of 4th August 1962. This law on protected areas quickly led to extensive renovation work. Today, this restoration work carries on an architectural heritage that remains the main treasure of Sarlat, indeed Sarlat is often used as a backdrop for Films such as Les Miserables and holds 'The Sarlat Film Festival' each November.
SURROUNDING AREA: Once outside Sarlat you are surrounded by some beautiful countryside and stunning views. Take a trip along the Dordogne river on a gabarres, or if you fancy a bit of exercise the canoes are worth a trip, bring a picnic and spend a day on the river. Explore the many caves and grottes in the area, and the cave paintings of Lascaux 2, not the original but worth a visit , for original paintings there is Font de Gaume which is in Les Eyzies and the caves of Rouffignac. See the sights from above by taking a balloon ride or a trip in a plane ! The rock formations of Les Eyzies are well worth a visit and the beautiful Chateaux/gardens of Les Milandes,( the home of Josephine Baker) Marqueyssac, Castelnaud,Fenlon and D'Eyrignac. Step back in time(100 years) and take a trip to Le Bournat, enjoy the fairground rides and workshops, visit the aquarium, or the new zoo reserve. Rocamadour about an hour away is well worth a visit, - a monkey park ,falconry, zoo, caves, fantastic views, and the pilgrim walking route, with beautiful churches. And for RELAXATION - the lakeside beach of Tamnies is ten minutes away from Sarlat.
Restaurants, cafes and markets are a speciality and In this region if you like Duck you will be in heaven along with Sarladais potatoes as well as other local produce.
The superb markets have an array of fresh mouth watering produce such as:
Truffles, foie gras, wild mushrooms like cepes, girolles and morels, also walnuts, chestnuts, strawberries, confits (meats preserved in fat) Cheeses, bread, sausages, wines and local liquors.
The Dordogne enjoys a more settled weather pattern than UK or Ireland, it does have rain, enriching the region with green fields and can be cold in the winter months. In the Spring and Autumn it has a varied temperature, starting off cool in the mornings and heating up as the day goes along…layers are the best clothing to bring. In the Summer June ,July and August the average temperature can be around 30 'C.. so shorts, T- shirts are a must, not forgetting sun hats, sun glasses and sun cream.

Brive - London city -City Jet - and Ryanair - Stansted ( Just over 1 hour drive to Sarlat)

We arrived from Ireland in 2005 and fell in love with the region and wanted to enrich our lives with a new culture, language and of course take in the local food and wine...
Paula & Barry Grainger purchased this apartment in 2009
We loved this apartment as soon as we saw it's high beamed roof and position looking over the other roofs of Sarlat. We could not wait to experience this property ourselves and we have spent a week or two enjoying the apartment, knowing that we were in the heart of history , a location for film sets and a superb market and ambiance.... We love the area as there are always suprises around the corner and Sarlat is a great base to explore other areas and villages. We love both the fact you can have a quiet relaxing visit wandering through villages and relaxing by or on the river/ lakes or enjoying the summer fetes... or delving into history and art and of course the food and wine and trips to vineyards.... something for every one.
So many benefits.... Location,Location,Location.... being in the heart of the medieval a perfect base for visiting the sites knowing that when you return to Le Grenier you are only seconds away from the shops, cafes, restaurants, galleries and tourist office to plan your next visits ...... Le Grenier itself is self contained and set in a 15 century building with original stone spiral staircase taking you to the apartment full of original oak beams and stonework, perfect to whip up some great meals from the fresh produce from the Wednesday and Saturday Markets which are right on your door step.... along with the restaurants and cafes, and in the Summer the street entertainment...
All good things must come to an end. We had decided to spend a few days away before the Christmas festivities set in, somewhere quiet but with a "Christmas feel", well we couldn't have asked for more with le Grenier and Sarlat. We arrived early evening and the magical Christmas feel to the town was wonderful. The apartment is very comfortable, well equipped with all that we needed and was lovely to return to after a day out sight seeing.. the welcome wine was very appreciated. If you are a photographer head out to the villages of Domme, Beynac, castelnaud early in the morning as the sun rising and mists from the river Dordogne create superb photos. The Christmas market if you are here at the time is well worth a visit for those extra gifts and the ice skating although we did not partake was fun to watch. All in all we have had a great stay and hope to return in the Summer months. Thank you Barry and Paula for all your help/advise especially the restaurants and not forgetting a wonderful welcome. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2015.
Very private, very central and full of character. We enjoyed a nice quiet week in the garret. The stairs kept us challenging our fitbits. You couldn't ask for more accommodating or friendly hosts! Thanks for everything Paula & Barry!
Both Paula and Barry were the perfect hosts. Friendly, helpful, nothing was a problem. The station pick-up and drop off was a great addition to their service. The apartment was great...metres to the centre of all that Sarlat has to offer, yet quite and cosy and idea to spend a raining day reading and relaxing. I love a loft and this one is exceptional. One of our best stays after being on the road for ten weeks. We will be back next year.
First I must say that Paula and Barry were the perfect hosts. They met us at the train station so we could follow them in our car to a free parking lot. There are no cars permitted in the heart of the town but it is only a 10 minute walk to the apartment. They helped us with our baggage including going up the 74 step spiral staircase to the apartment. It is well worth the climb as the apartment is charming and full of character. The stairs are a good way to wear off some of the great food and wine you will find in the many restaurants at your doorstep. We would highly recommend this rental.
This is the most perfect location. - right in the centre of town. All the stairs are well worth it. The apartment is attractive, clean and comfortably furnished, also it is well equipped with all that is needed for a holiday. The owners, Paul and Barrie gave us an enthusiastic welcome and carried our heave hold case up the stairs for us ( I am 82). They were also a phone call away if we had a problem which we did not. It will be even better when the expected Wi-Fi is operational. We used the close at hand free service at the information office.
I am a little late in writing this review as I stayed in May of 2013, but since I am headed back to stay in this charming little apartment again I had to share how wonderful it is! The apartment is as charming and full of character as the photos show. The location absolutely can't be beat. It is right in the middle of the old center of town, but quiet and private at the same time. The only problem I had with the apartment is that it was so comfortable that I ended up sleeping late every morning! Paula and Barry are amazing hosts and make the experience even better. Wonderful communication from the very first, and then personal attention when you arrive. They picked me up at the train station, purchased some groceries so that I had something to munch on after my long trip, left me a bottle of wine, and even helped me get to my next destination when I left. When I decided to head back to Sarlat this September there was no question on where to stay! Can't wait to get back!!!
I originally booked for 3 weeks but then extended to 5 ... and totally loved my stay in beautiful Le Grenier in the centre of lovely Sarlat. The apartment was just dreamy and had everything I needed. I cooked every day with the local treats I bought at the Wednesday and Saturday markets and enjoyed every pink sunset from that lovely window. Paula and Barry were excellent hosts, collecting me from the train station and carrying my bags up the stairs....even offering to do a little pre-arrival grocery shop! The kitchen was even stocked with a few essentials which was great! I totally enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone. You'll love waking to the church bells and chit chatter of your feathery roof top friends. I'll definitely be back. Thanks Paula and Barry

I just purchased a membership so I can have access to the lessons. However, I can not figure our how these lessons are organized. It would be helpful if you could somehow categorize them: science, language arts, math, etc. Thank you.
Hi Amelia,
Point taken and I'll work on something using tags for just these lessons.
Have you seen the Main Directory? Each lesson has a suggested level and also tags underneath for the topic suggestion s of each. Not perfect but helpful.
The list can also be searched. Quite strong and you'll probably find what you are looking for. If not, just ask here or use the main page site wide search.
Yeah, I see the directory, but since I am looking for science lessons, I don't really want to go through the whole list until I find what I want. I tried a science search, but got nothing. I am currently trying to find a lesson plan for a class I am taking. I don't have something specific in mind, but wanted to find something science related.
oh, I know a great lesson on this topic - try THIS. It might work but very project based.
Don't mind using my knowledge so if you have even something more specific in mind - let me know and I'll give you some possibilities.
Thank you!
Just passing on a favourite of mine to everyone! I'm in love with this interactive, used to clear up student confusions on tense / to teach tense and comparisons between each.
Otherwise, simply an interestive little 'presentation'. In my opinion, it's very well done!

Whats intresting so far is the amount of women on the team. Are women more intrested in a "social networking" type program compared to "enterprise" type apps.
if you're watching this thread and if you'd like to answer, and you're a woman, what made you want to goto the
MSNLive Messenger Team compared to the WinFS team.

I watched a program on BBC World and they highlighted NVidia managed to make specifically for mobile devices, an entire 3D graphics processor (yes, the same as the full-sized ones for the desktop) as small as a thumbnail! On top of that, there is also a sound card in that little thing!
Therefore, the graphics processing should not be a problem, and Photoshop can indeed run if NVidia has their way.
ermm it's not to do with the GPU wether photoshop can run or not, it's down to the CPU and mem

Microsoft need to do something like xbox. if the patents we've seen from apple are going to turn into something it would seem a UMPC would be it. If they do they're going to do it better than Microsoft's partners.
Otto Berkes - Origami's Architect gives first look at Ultramobile PCsblowdarts right. a standard needs to be set for something to be called an origami device. Bluetooth should be in that standard.
battery life does suck too, 2 hours isn't long enough, i want to be able to watch videos with it on my way to the USA.
well as they always say, MS sucks at v1, wait for V3 and i think i shall be.
it's not really that special.
did the C9 fail us? yes i think so. They could of invited a few of us (and tbh i'd have to say any of those that are active on the forums (any forum) rather than those who are just registered) to check out origami at our perspective MS locations (redmond, reading/cambridge etc) surely that would have been possible.
i want alot more for my $800 (lets face it $500 probably is just going to be low end machine when most if not all will be wanting a mid range)
Seventeen Minutes With Bill
I was intrested about Bill's comment on education and software, tailoring it towards the kids needs.
Now sure i'm not a mathmatician nor do i understand half the buttons on my calculator. but with software we can tailor a childs education. Does every child need to learn the same things? sure it creates a sense of equality (edited out equalness), is a child in year 9 more better off than another child in year 9 where one knows trig and the other doesn't?
With software we can develop situations where child A wants to learn about the construction business but child B wants to learn about accounting, now does child B need to know pythag and does child A need to know about market rates (don't pick on me for this, i think you all understand where i'm going).
I know since i learnt pythag about hmm 5 years ago i haven't used it since then. ok maybe in doing one of your "show us what you can program" exercises but i haven't ever used it since my math GCSE exam.

Virtual Earth: MSN's answer to Google MapsI was thinking about intergration and routes.
My dads in chicago, he's staying i dunno at a ramada or something and he wants to goto one of the big malls out of town. SO he has a Dell Axim and makes a route on MSN maps and saves it, it then offers an RSS feed which he can subcribe too. When he subscribes o it, he starts getting information about traffic conditions and other various things so that before he sets off on his adventure he knows that 4th and 8th street just had a glue lorry tip over and it's taking a long time to get cars moving past there, thus the map can offer a new route.
scoble, basically bring a notepad to london meet (a big notepad and lots of Jones Cream Soda)
Virtual Earth: MSN's answer to Google MapsWell my g/f just got a new bike and when she is coming to mine from work theres this nasty roundabout in the way that no one really likes, however there is a route that can get her to mine without using the roundabout, but i assume if you put "town to my house" in whatever map thing it would take the route with the roundabout as that is probably the best route. So i'd alike the ability to draw my own routes without having to use what the computer thinks is the best/fastest route
So basically i'd get a map of the area and be able to draw a red line along the oute that i want and then the map program would make my line nice and neat and scale the map appropiately so that it can fit on a peice of paper or maybe synch it to a PDA and GPS facility.
Virtual Earth: MSN's answer to Google Mapswhich one scoble?

Oh, gentle feelings, soft sounds, the goodness and the gradual stilling of a soul that has been moved; the melting happiness of the first tender, touching joys of love- where are you?
Love isn't actually a feeling at all--it's an illness, a certain condition of body and soul.... Usually it takes possession of someone without his permission, all of a sudden, against his will--just like cholera or a fever.
You may live a long while with some people and be on friendly terms with them and never speak openly with them from your soul.
He was the soul of politeness to everyone -- to some with a hint of aversion, to others with a hint of respect.

Badab war. Astral Claws Tyrants Legion Retaliator Squad.
5 comments:
Hey mate, read your "plea for comments" over on Minature Tim and thought I'd give it a go ;-)ReplyDelete
Anyway, fear not, the lack of comments definitely hasn't got anything to do with the quality of your work: I really like those Astral Claws! A nice use of bitz, especially of the Steam Knight heads -- I might have to get some of those one of these days.
I especially love the guy with the power axe! Great pose, and the laurels you added to his head really make him look special. I think his loincloth would definitely profit from being picked out in a different colour (brown), though.
One bit of constructive criticism, though: Your photos seem rather slapdash -- and I am saying that as someone who is not a great photographer by any stretch of the imagination. You should maybe use different lighting conditions and pay attention so that they don't turn out as fuzzy.
Personally speaking, I take my photos outside, in broad daylight, since I am too lazy to build a lightbox or anything. But it usually really helps with the lighting! Oh, and graphics software like Photoshop or its open source alternative Gimp let you process the photos afterwards to make them even better.
Whoa, look at me rambling on here ;-) Anywhere, hope this helps! Keep up the good work!
I actually have a post about my photo setup on my blog:Delete
You don't even have to go this far. Just put a piece of paper under the model (I like black or white best) and get a good light source. Sunlight can sometimes make harsh shadows, so if you do that put something to diffuse the light like tissue paper. Also making sure the white balance on the camera is set right really helps the colors of the model show. Using cardboard as your background can throw off the camera's auto white balance, so setting it manually can help.
And as for the painting, it is looking really good! I really like the Astral claws especially the FW Huron model). oh, and one last thing, cleaning up mold lines is super easy to do, and really helps make the model look like the real thing. This article by Ron at From the Warp shows a really easy way to clean them up. http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2010/10/cleaning-mold-lines.html
Everything is looking good so far. Keep up the good work!
Oh, and one more thing. I just used Tamiya Clear Red for the first time, and it makes the best looking blood ever. if you plan on doing any more blood I would highly reccomend getting yourself a bottle of it. This guy has a great tutorial if you're interested. http://www.thedarkcity.net/t2933-blood-n-gore-lonewolf-styleDelete
They really turned out looking great - that's a very characterful unit you've built. I especially like Tanin, the bionic and shield both look fantastic.ReplyDelete
If I may offer a suggestion, on the sergeant perhaps giving the loincloth a darker leather look? Something in the dark tan to brownish scale could help contrast against the lighter metal color a bit.
Keep up the great work - looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks guys. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I think I will try out your suggestions on the sarge next time I have my brushes out, will update when I have had a go.ReplyDelete

Advantages of using rush flyers
Advantages of using rush flyers
In this competitive world, surviving in a business at the top has become quite difficult. Advertising strategies can play an essential role in this. Using different kinds of marketing materials can be a good idea. Rush flyers is a concept arrived to increase current popularity of certain kind of product quickly. In this type of flyer different combinations of eye-catching colors are used to make flyer more attractive and impressive. Experts believe that benefits of using rush flyers are more than that of using normal forms of flyers. In many cases it has seen that effectual use of flyers can improve current status of business. These can provide excellent feedback from consumers. Therefore many people have turned towards using flyers into their business. However there are many simple ways that can help one to produce flyer copy of a product. Using online services can be one effective way. In case of online print companies people only need to place order along with the work details, then the remaining part is carried out by print company. Therefore using online service is considered as one firm method of getting work done. Nowadays people like to purchase online. Debit cards and credit cards are used to pay contractors. The overall transaction system has become easy and simple. Therefore using one reliable online print company can reduce charges and time to great extent.
Apart from this there are many extra added benefits of using online print companies. If one has previously worked with local print company, then he can explain easily about his experience of working. Actually in case of local print companies many people have faced ample numbers of problems. According to them, they didn't receive desired effects on work and apparently they lose their money. This is a fact. In case of rush flyers it is necessary to take extra cares on quality, charges and time. These three factors can affect the future benefits of flyer copies. The overall performance of flyer is based on its quality. If it is produced on a simple poor quality of page then of course its benefits will come in poor quantity. However, this is totally opposite in case of rush flyers. Quality and charges are two evident of future. If high quality is used charges would be high and thus attractiveness and impressing behavior of produced copy would create excellent results at the end. Rush flyers need extra amount of care and hard work. The main reasons behind the expensiveness of rush flyers can be explained as the high amount of efforts and hard work.
It is necessary to understand the facts related to flyers. In case of rush flyers, the designer team keeps extra attention on attractiveness. More than two designers work on producing a single design. High quality paper is used with required size. Many times people confuse in choosing size of a flyer. A color combination is used in such way that it creates a strong impact on viewer's mind. This impact is the main intention. People should remember the actual design of a copy. In this way the popularity of product increases if its name is running over the mouth of public. Apart from this the written content is checked twice. Many times people create copies of flyers containing many mistakes in spelling or contact details. This is one major mistake. This mistake should be avoided to evade extra charges. Also it is necessary to select professional combination of colors. Designers suggest using dark colors but it is responsibility of a customer to think with the public perspective. Rush flyers can increase the actual demand of a certain brand to great extent. This is one best part about using expensive flyers as they offer quick results on their employment.
Once everything is checked flyers are moved towards production. There are several precautions that print company members should take during production process. The size of paper, quality of paper and color combination should be checked after every one cycle. In many cases it has seen that rush flyers and color copies are one essential part in the marketing strategies of a particular brand. It is difficult to produce desired effects after engaging other types of marketing methods. Therefore one should make use of expensive flyers to increase popularity of their brand. This is one simple method of marketing and doesn't require extra efforts apart from production and spreading. This method can offer shining results at the end and it is simple to predict future success after using perfectly produced flyers copies.

Onshore wind power
Wind power has seen strong development for some years now both in France and abroad. Renewable, mature and competitive, this energy of the future has a major role to play in responding to the present and future climate challenges. The development of onshore wind power is one of ENGIE priorities, which is now the largest wind power producer in France and Belgium and an international leader with 4,553 MW installed throughout the world.
What is onshore wind power ?
A wind power plant is a device that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then turned into electricity. The wind power plant therefore uses wind speed to produce renewable energy with very low greenhouse gas emissions or waste. Onshore wind power plants are installed on land, unlike offshore plants, which are in the sea.
The electric power produced by a wind plant varies according to three essential parameters: the shape and length of the blades, the speed of the wind and the temperature which modifies the density of the air. Wind power plants must respect European standards of design and construction. In particular, since 2008 they have been subject to technical inspection.
What are the benefits of onshore wind power ?
Onshore wind power has the advantage of being limitless, clean and economically favourable. It is an inexhaustible resource (wind itself being indeed an endless resource), available locally, variable, yet predictable (there are generally more and stronger winds in winter when demand for electricity is higher).
Wind power does not produce greenhouse gases. By 2020, it is estimated that it will have enabled emissions to be reduced by approximately 16 million tonnes.
Wind power constitutes competitive energy at limited cost to the end consumer. Since 1993, we have seen rapid growth (40%) in the manufacture of wind power plants. This market, destined to grow at 20% per year over coming years, has already created more than 80,000 jobs in Europe.
ENGIE, leader in onshore wind power in France and Belgium
ENGIE, the major player in wind power in France, passed the 1,730 MW mark of functioning wind power in 2016. The Group, which has total expertise over the whole sector, aims to reach rapidly 2,000 MW in France.
In Belgium, ENGIE Electrabel, contributed to the development of 40 wind farms. The Belgian company has set itself the goal of having the means to produce renewable energy capable of supplying 300 000 homes by 2020 with an installed capacity of 500 MW.
Since 2010, ENGIE has had a Centre for the Management of Renewable Energies at Châlons-en-Champagne to guide the wind power installations of the Group in France and Europe.

Process #2 The Magical Creation Box
Home » Process #2 The Magical Creation Box
Process #2 The Magical Creation Box
Use This Process:
When you are in the mood for a pleasing activity that will focus the Energy that creates worlds into specific directions of your personal preferences.
When you want to give the Universal Manager even more specific information about the details of things that please you.
Current Emotional Set-Point Range
This Magical Creation Box Process will be of the most value to you when your Emotional Set-Point is ranging somewhere between:
(1) Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation and (5) Optimism.
To begin the Creation Box process, find a nice-looking box, one that is pleasing to you when you see it. On the lid, in a conspicuous place that you will easily notice, write the words: Whatever is contained in this box—IS!
Next, gather magazines, catalogs, and brochures, and leisurely look through them for whatever you would like to include in your experience. Then clip out pictures of anything that exemplifies any desires that you hold: pictures of furniture, clothing, landscaping, buildings, travel destinations, vehicles; images of physical characteristics; photos of people interacting with one another… if it feels appealing to you in any way, clip it, and drop it into your Creation Box. And say, as you drop it in, "Whatever is contained in this box—IS!"
When you are away from your box, continue to gather more pictures, and then drop them in when you return home. If you witness something you would like to experience, write a description of it, and drop that into your box. The more things you find for your box, the more the Universe will deliver to you other ideas that match them. And the more ideas you drop into your box, the more your desire will be focused. And the more your desire is focused, the more alive you will feel—for this Energy flowing through you is what life is.
If you have little or no resistance—in other words, if you have no doubt that you can achieve these things, the experience will feel invigorating to you. The more you clip, the better you will feel, and you will begin to see evidence of these things moving closer and closer into your experience. Doors will begin to open to make it possible for many of these things to easily come in right now.
If you are enjoying this process, it is serving you in a powerful way; it is helping you focus upon the things you desire; you are practicing the attainment of a consistent vibration that matches your desires; and you are experiencing Deliberate Creation. And, most important, your good-feeling emotion is telling you that you are in the receiving mode right now. Your attention to this process is helping you maintain the vibrational frequency that is required for you to allow what you are asking for into your experience—you are practicing the Art of Allowing.
Imagine that you are sitting in your chair, and next to your chair is a box, a pretty good-sized box. And you know that you are a creator, and that this box is your creation; it is your world, so to speak. And you are like a giant, sitting here on this big chair, and you have the ability to reach out anywhere in this physical Universe and pluck whatever you want and drop it into that box.
So you bring a beautiful house, and you put it in a city that pleases you. And you bring a means of income for you, and maybe a means of income for your mate. You bring all the things you like to do—the beautiful things that you find here and there, feelings of elation and feelings of sensuality, and all of these things that you want, and you drop these things into your Creation Box.
You could play this game as a mental game only, but it is so much more fun if you actually get a box and drop in things that represent your desires. You will begin to notice that when you put something in your Creation Box that does not have a pattern of resistance, the Universe will bring it to you right away. The things you drop into the box where you do have patterns of resistance will take more time in coming.
This process may feel whimsical to you, but it is a powerful process, for it will enhance your ability to visualize. Most people offer most of their vibrational offerings in response to what they are observing, but there is no creative control in that. Your creative control comes only in deliberately offering thought—and when you are visualizing, you have complete control.
Once you begin this process, you will just be knocked over by the effectiveness and efficiency of the enormous Non-Physical staff that responds to your vibrational requests. When you ask, it is given, and as you play with this Creation Box, you will learn to let it in.

After an enthralling round of fixtures at the weekend, four teams are now level on points and battling to win the championship. John Hodgson dissects the three games and looks at how the rest of the tournament could pan out:
Wales v France
Wales were able to dismantle a disjointed French side in Cardiff on Friday night. Tries from the ever-impressive George North and the rejuvenated Sam Warburton coupled with Leigh Halfpenny's boot proved too much for an out-of-sorts Les Bleus side.
Wales were impressive all round and the eye-catching performances of their veteran Lions props, Adam Jones and Gethin Jenkins, suggest that a pursuit of a record third straight Championship is back on track. They won the gain-line collisions and were far more combative at the breakdown. Along with Warburton's impressive display, the return to form of Dan Lydiate will also be encouraging for Warren Gatland's men.
The French were poor. They seemed more to resemble the Wooden Spoon side from their 2013 Six Nations shambles than the one many were touting for this year's title.
A clear lack of direction from inexperienced first five–eighth Jules Plisson continues to place scrutiny on Saint Andre's decision to leave out proven Montpellier Stand-off François Trinh-Duc. Perhaps it was more luck than judgement that allowed them to prevail over England as their flaws were drastically exposed in Cardiff.
Italy v Scotland
A dramatic late drop goal from Fly Half Duncan Weir broke Italian hearts in the Eternal City on Saturday afternoon. The composed strike from the Glasgow outside half capped off an impressive comeback from the visitors. The win will go some way to silencing the vehement criticism of Scott Johnson's men while the Azzurri appear to be heading for their 10th wooden spoon in 15 tournaments.
Italy were typically powerful up-front in the scrum and the talismanic Sergio Parisse continued to set an immense example for his team as he broke the Italian caps record. The captain, along with teammate Martin Castrogiovanni, became the joint most-capped player in the national team's history. Elsewhere, Fly-Half Tommaso Allan was effective in attack for the home side but his defensive lapses at important times were crucial in allowing the visitors back into the game.
The return of Richie Gray to partner Jim Hamilton was significant for Scotland as they were able to drastically improve a line-out game that had been non-existent against England. What will be most encouraging for Johnson's men was the build-up play that led to Alex Dunbar's second try as it contained the sort of flair and off-loading capability that has been missing in recent outings.
England v Ireland
England edged a titanic contest at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon. Danny Care's converted try cancelled out an early second half score from Rob Kearney to give the Red Rose a well earned home win.
Most people predicted that the contest would be won at the scrum with Irishman Cian Healy expected to expose David Wilson's lack of match sharpness. However, except for the occasional reverse, Wilson held his own and this went some way to deciding the contest.
Courtney Lawes was outstanding at the line-out as he impressively out-played Irish veteran Paul O'Connell both in the set-piece and in the loose. Joe Launchbury and Chris Robshaw led England's monumental defensive game, which was epitomised by the former's tap-tackle on Dave Kearney in the dying stages of the contest.
Man of the Match Mike Brown continued his imperious form as he put in another match-winning performance. He can surely start to be mentioned in the same bracket as the likes of Kiwi full-back Israel Dagg as one of the world's best 15's.
England's win throws the Championship race wide open and highlights the growing class of the likes of Brown, Robshaw, Dylan Hartley, Lawes and Launchbury who all deserve mentions for exceptional performances.
Ireland were left to wonder where Sexton's exquisite kicking game went at crucial points in the contest. His over-hit restart was a real momentum changer as he was unable to recreate his match-winning kicking form that was so central in their victory over Wales. Despite the loss, the Irish remain top of the table but England have seized some initiative by prevailing in this absorbing contest.
Wooden Spoon: It is hard to see beyond the long-suffering Italians who have made this accolade their own over the years. With Ireland and England to play, the situation looks bleak for the Azzuri.
Eventual Winners: The head says Ireland but the heart says England. Much depends on England's massive game against Wales at H.Q but, if they prevail, I can see them just nicking it.
Despite their superior points difference, Ireland have to go to Paris on the final weekend, somewhere they notoriously struggle. Wales and France are still in contention but I would wager that we saw the Champions play in that classic at Twickenham on Saturday.

Good Way To End Year
Good evening to all, reported Independence skipper Jeff DeBuys December 31. Today started much like yesterday, (we were) very busy. We had very, very good fishing today on 100 to 150-pound tuna; we again hooked a bigun, but couldn't close the deal, maybe tomorrow. We matched yesterdays tally, 80 of these beauties hit the deck. As for the last day of 2010, I think we ended it with a bang. Everyone is tired and ready for some rest. We are going to start 2011 in the same place, so watch for another report tomorrow.

Turned Phenomenal
Today started off with good fishing that turned phenomenal towards dark, noted the report from Intrepid December 31. We had a two and a half-hour drift that had the yellowfin eating everything on the corner. Mixed-size fish from 40 to 200 pounds bit well into the dark, with the last one (a 170-pounder), coming on after the dinner bell. We give credit to our lady anglers aboard this trip: Marilyn Reece landed a kite fish that just hit the 200-pound mark, as well as three other beauties. Also, Saimi Alfaro was constantly hooked up and had a couple in the 140-pound range. And Shawna Barton who landed a 165-pound fish along with a few other nice trophies.

DALLAS - One of the Southwest's most successful business parks is getting a new town center. The 2,665 Legacy business park in Dallas' north suburb of Plano is already home to more than 36,000 office workers in headquarters facilities owned by Electronic Data Systems, J.C. Penney, Dr Pepper, Frito-Lay and others.
Now the 14-year-old development will for the first time have a town square, complete with shops, apartments, a hotel and offices surrounding a three-acre central park. Called Legacy Town Center, the 75-acre mixed-use complex was planned by new urbanist Andres Duany, designer of Florida's award-winning Seaside community and other similar projects.
The development team includes Legacy owner Electronic Data Systems, Post Properties of Atlanta, Dallas retail developer Karahan Cos. and Argyle-Leddy Hospitality Co. of San Antonio. Construction began in mid October on the first phase which includes 360 luxury apartments, 300,000 sq. ft. of retail space and a 400-room Doubletree Hotel built along landscaped boulevards and overlooking the park.
"It's the building of a new neighborhood and village that will be very special for the Dallas area," said Post
Properties chairman John Williams. "We've got to return ourselves to the way neighborhoods were built many years ago."
Post ultimately plans to have 2,700 apartments at Legacy Town Center constructed as low- to mid-rise buildings lining the streetfronts.

HE Is First!
Well, we did it again folks!
HE is the first American web hosting company to introduce Alipay as a method of payment for our customers. "What is Alipay?" you ask. Alipay is the preferred method of payment for China. Think of it as their PayPal. It is well known and trusted, and gives the Chinese consumer peace of mind when it comes to online purchases. It makes buying from America much more attractive.
Next question you're probably asking yourself is "Why am I reading about a service I will never need?" Promoting the use of Alipay is not the intention of this blog (Actually we rely heavily on messenger pigeons to do the bulk of our promotions). The real purpose of this blog is to show you HE's flexibility and responsiveness to you, our customers.
One of our Chinese affiliates asked us to consider offering Alipay. According to an article in China Tech News , the number of members have grown from 57 million in 2008 to over 150 million as of April of this year. Alipay reaches more than half of the people who use the web in China. Also of interest are the demographics of Alipay members. They are young (83% are between 21 and 35) and their spending is increasing faster than other segments of the population.
So, a few weeks after the original request – we are the first American Web Hosting company to offer this payment method!
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Feel free to send your ideas or suggestions by responding to this post. We might not be able to adopt all your ideas but at least you know we listen!

Ok, I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but I
think I've reached a plateau.
I'm eating good and exercising, but it doesn't
seem to be doing anything anymore. I heard that when you first start dieting
and working out you lose a lot right away, but then things definitely level
All I do is try to burn fat, but I think its
about time I started to try to build some muscle. Its time to get pro-active
instead of just re-active.
Does anybody know how I can get my hands on some
steroids?? STOP! Its a joke… I already have some.
I don't know if I need a trainer or something, but
I gotta start to really get it poppin in the gym. I hate going to the gym alone because I
always talk myself out of doing more than just cardio.
My boy Solitare says I should go back to this book
I had by Mark Jenkins. Mark is a personal trainer that trained Diddy for the
NYC marathon and had D'Angelo looking crazy in that video… (Yeah, that video. You know what video I'm talking about). It's
basically a very simple 60-day plan that doesn't seem too bad. I'll let you know how it goes.
Peace to all my fat smashers – let's get it right,
get it tight.
PS: I'm trying to get my blog game better. Hit up DontGetGassed.com. I'm just getting started so bear with me. There's
some good sh*t to download on there, so enjoy.You can find out everything you want to know about Cipha Sounds at www.myspace.com/ciphasounds and learn more about Dr. Ian Smith's Fat Smash Diet at www.doctoriansmith.com

Recently, we have received many complaints from our readers that they have been bothered a lot by spams in WordPress. In our experience, one of the effective ways to stop the spam registrations and comments on WordPress sites is to block disposable email accounts.
Before we show you the procedures step by step, we will introduce what disposable email accounts are and why you should block them on your WordPress site at first.
About Disposable Email Accounts
Many WordPress sites, like online discussion forums, blogs and websites, allow visitors to register a user account with their email address. Clicking the link sent by WordPress in their email, they can verify the registration then perform more operations, for example, posting comments on the WordPress sites.
However, spammers found a way to deal with the situation through disposable email accounts. Disposable email accounts, also temporary email addresses, allow people to register accounts and receive confirmation emails at a temporary fake address only for a short duration.
As a result, a fake user account is created, which is unacceptable for WordPress owners. In this way, a spammer can even register countless email accounts, which will do harm to your WordPress site, for example, making the spam comments on the site. What's worse, you cannot get in touch with them.
Naturally, a question came to your mind that how to block disposable email accounts. With the use of some plugins, you can significantly reduce the number of spammers who want to register user accounts with temporary email addresses. Here a useful plugin is recommended: Ban Hammer.
Block the Disposable Email Accounts in WordPress with Ban Hammer
Ban Hammer is a completely free plugin designed for blocking disposable email accounts. Following our guide, you can take full advantage of it.
Step 1: Install and activate Ban Hammer.
Logging on to the admin account of your WordPress site, you can input "Ban Hammer" at the pool of plugins. Then download and activate the plugin. In our test, it only costs a really short time to accomplish the first step.
Step 2: Configure the plugin.
- Personalize the error message. In this page, you can customize the message to work as a reminder. If visitors use disposable email addresses to register user accounts, the message box will be displayed to them.
- Copy the email addresses. There is a list of the most commonly used burner email addresses on GitHub. From the page, you have access to these emails for free.
- Paste the text under the blacklist emails. Certainly, if you have other emails and domains, you can also add them into the blacklist.
Step 3: Update your options.
This is an important step in the entire process. After you have configured the plugin, remember to submit your configuration. Then the plugin will work according to your settings. Users with the blacklisted emails will not be allowed to register on your WordPress site.
After our detailed introduction of the three steps above, you will learn how to block disposable email accounts to stop spam through the Ban Hammer plugin. Admittedly, there exist other solutions to handle the situation. Here we select an easy and effective one in our tutorial. We sincerely hope that you are able to master the method through this article.

AFB Young Patron Dan Richards
I joined The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery on the 15th November 2003, after Basic Training at ATR Pirbright and Phase 2 Training at the Royal School of Artillery, Lark Hill.
In September 2007 I became the first Kings Troop Soldier to be sent on Op Herrick. I mainly worked out of Camp Bastion and Kabul dealing with all the interpreters for the British and Danish. There were quite a few "hairy moments." One time whilst in Kabul in a convoy from Camp Souter to KAIA (Kabul International Airport), the driver of my vehicle hadn't first paraded the vehicle properly and, as we were the last vehicle, we were left stranded and I watched the rest of the convoy disappear into the night. We were quickly surrounded by what looked like the entire population of Afghanistan, and you could hear the stones hitting the outside. Then I was brought back to the initial brief that there had been reports of a suicide bomber patrolling our route! Needless to say Force Protection turned up after about 40 minutes. There were others I could tell you about but it would turn into a novel! Anyway, I returned in March 2008, but the following year on 31st May 2009, the day after I was involved with the first review of Trooping the Colour, I was
involved in a road traffic accident. I have no memory of it but it involved the amputation of my right arm and shoulder, and I broke both ankles and smashed my left arm. When I woke up in hospital I thought I was back in the block, and had no recollection of an accident.... After the story about what had happened I said I'd never get back on a bike again.
After Headley Court I returned to work, got back on a horse and learned to ride again, but always felt something was missing. I knew it was the bike but convinced myself it would pass. Well, it never did, and so after 2 years and a chat with my family I now ride a Yamaha XV1900, which is my pride and joy. NABD adapted my bike for me and Headley Court gave me a prosthetic arm which I think looks pretty cool!
On March 13th 2012 I was told that I would be Medically Discharged. The following day I had my left ankle fused, and the day after that I was in Tedworth House. Since then I've been very much involved with Help for Heroes and The Veterans Charity. September 2012 I was in the Paralympic closing ceremony in front of 85,000 people, and then I was involved with Bell's Whiskey Advertising campaign for H4H. Somewhere there is a perspex statue of me (and 20 other individual statues of 20 others) for the "Bells Whiskey Bell's Battalion!"

Subject: Interview Questions for Parents
Hi Everyone,
I am a Graduate Student at Fairfield University getting a Masters in Special Education. I personally do not know any parents of children with a learning disability and so have come here to try to complete one of my assignments. I hope this is okay with the moderators.
In my class we are required to interview a parent for the purpose of learning from them what has worked and not worked for you and your child, what frustrations you've had in dealing with the special education teacher, etc., so that we, as a special education teacher, can provide more effective supports to you and your child and be more successful in making the parent/teacher collaboration effective so the child achieves the maximum benefit from this team work.
I am supplying my email address for anyone willing to answer questions. Names are not necessary nor wanted so that your privacy is maintained. It would be helpful to know the foundational facts of your situation, such as age of your child, when he/she was first assessed by the school system, etc.
Also, if there is any information, events, story you think would be useful but is not covered by one of my questions, please include it in your email (you can always respond here if you wish, i just thought it may take up too much space).
I want to thank in advance anyone who is willing to help in this assignment, as it is difficult to locate parents locally due to their personal desire for privacy and due to the privacy laws. So, here are the questions and remember they pertain to the special education teacher in any environment - classroom, ppt/iep meetings, emails, etc - and please feel free to expand upon or add anything from your experiences, as the questions are just a guideline to get things going. You can respond to me here or email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
1. What did you get the least of that you needed the most?
2. What did you get the most of that you needed the least?
3. Did educators inquire about and value your expectations for your child?
4. What educator strategies were most helpful to you in helping your child?
5. Has there been a common problematic issue with most educators?
6. How have conflicts with educators been effectively resolved?
7. What have educators done to establish an effective team relationship with you?
8. What type of communication method is best for you and how often is the most effective for you to help you with your child?
9. What has the educator (other personnel) done to establish and maintain collaboration with you during PPT/IEP meetings?
10. How has the special education teacher incorporated you as a team member?
11. What has been effectively done or could be done to help you implement IEP goals at home?
12. Whats the least effective thing an educator can do and most effective thing an educator can do in their support of you to help your child?
13. What types of conflicts have you experienced with educators regarding inclusion and placing your child in the least restrictive environment?
14. What is your perspective of the educators motivation in their placement decisions?
Thank you again !

The media is hailing el Trumpo for being so generous to Cruz last night in his concession speech in Iowa. But it looks like the gloves are off, as today his surrogate Scottie Hughes has been insulting Iowa in the news media, and then the Donald himself posted this on his account:
"@restorereality Iowa is meaningless…keep pushing forward, run the table in NH SC NV and Super Tuesday. America needs you! #TrumpTrain"
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2016
Yes, it's a retweet, and it shows what Trump really thinks about the voters and the election process.
Previously he had tweeted that it was the Iowa voter at fault, and also the media.
I wonder if New Hampshire will be "meaningless" or if it'll be the most important thing ever? It all depends on whether el Trumpo wins it or not….

CHICAGO (CBS) — It was suggested that low turnout at the most recent CTA fare hike public meeting was due to lack of publicity.
The 2013 CTA budget calls for fare hikes for daily, three day, seven day and 30 day passes effective Jan. 14.
The single ride reduced fare for seniors and the disabled, as well as the 30 day reduced fare also would increase. The CTA's base full fare will not rise under the budget, except for single rides from O'Hare which will jump to $5.
To pay for some service increases to reduce overcrowding, the CTA would cut 12 bus routes, shorten 2 others and eliminate 9 privately contracted CTA routes if subsidies aren't increased.
The public is urged to offer feedback at hearings at 6 p.m. Dec. 10 at CTA headquarters at 567 Lake and 6 p.m. Dec. 17 at Westinghouse College Prep on West Franklin.

Kimono Lantern
The folks at TokyoHackerSpace, have taken a break from building geiger counters, and built this rather cute table lamp. According to the write up, this solar powered automatic light was originally intended for tables at a local restaurant.
TokyoHakerSpace's Kimono Lamp looks a lot like a DIY version of the €35 Marmaled / Jelly Lamp from Semiki, but more technically advanced. (The Marmaled uses a tilt switch and two AAA batteries.) Really, when it comes down to it, the Marmaled's jar and black label is what sets it apart. Of course, you can always buy jars wholesale

Fourth in the series of indeterminate length, Recolonizing Detroit
The root cause of the problems Paul Romer encountered in Madagascar was the local population. So how about founding these cities not just in unpopulated areas, but in areas people do not identify with as well? Could this be effective? From the European perspective, that's what the era of colonization was, but most of us have a more expansive view of ownership now. Today, the only land that doesn't have recognized claims on is Antarctica (Actually, it's a bit more complicated on that, but more on that later.), but that location is not likely to attract many people to it. What if instead of land, these cities were built in international waters, or somewhere else unclaimed by any country? What then?
That's right, we're talking about micronations.

Mechanical Desks
While reading about secretary desks, I came across a related type I had never heard of before, the mechanical desk. A fad of the 1700s, these desks featured mechanisms that hid shelves and surfaces when not in use. It's a real shame that these didn't make a comeback when computers became widespread. Computer desks were dreadful. While hiding a 21 inch CRT that weight 150 pounds wouldn't have been easy, the idea hiding materials when they are not needed appeals to me.
A modern interpretation of the mechanical desk is the Crescendo C2 from Stilvoll. I like how it looks like a drafting table, but expands to reveal bins. Of course, the role these bins play could have been solved with a traditional divided drawer. Still, this got me thinking.
I've considered getting a desktop computer, yet I don't know what I would do with it. At work I love my MacPro and its three 24 inch LCDs, and part of me would love to have that setup at home, even if I don't do much coding at home. If I ever took to telecommuting regularly, I'd need such a setup, including the Steelcase Leap chair, as even a 17 inch laptop just doesn't quite cut it. Assuming I had desktop computer with multiple displays, I wouldn't like having the monitors dominating the desk space. Yes, LCDs have a much smaller footprint than CRTs, but they still are visually imposing. Sometimes that's what you want, but sometimes it's not. A mechanical desk that could retract the screens would be great. Even better, if the desktop could expand. Perhaps a second pullout spring loaded leaf, kind of the like the Crescendo C2, but with a pushdown panel that has the screens mounted on swivel arms. Fold up the monitors and push them down into a little protected area behind the desk. Hide the tower and assorted wires in pedestal, and put file drawers in the other pedestal. (Personally, I prefer desks with legs rather than pedestals, but such a desk would look weird with big solid front on it.)
This is something I'm going to need to draw out.
Interesting, Yet Outdated, Furniture
Writing about traveling bookcases and other dead media storage solutions got me thinking about other furniture that always seems pregnant with possibilities, yet just isn't practical anymore: secretary desks, and travel desks.
I love all the cubby holes in the secretary desks. Holes full of letters, bills, and checks. Drawers containing pens, ink wells, and seals. All of it lockable. Its very structure conveys, "Important stuff happens here." Need to do serious work on the go? Get a travel desk, the attache case's awkward cousin.
While tasks like answering correspondence and paying bills have remained, the form they have taken has changed. No longer are we physically shuffling atoms around, but rather simply information. Email, online banking, and all the rest has replaced paper. Similarly, we no longer need travel desks, as our laptop contains everything that the desk, could and much more. Add a network connection, and almost nothing is out of reach. It seems increasing clear that physical media is dying. Newspaper circulation is down. CD sales have fallen. DVD and bluray are now seen as a transition technology as streaming is becoming increasingly widespread. (Thus Netflix's price hike.) With the advent of eReaders and tablet computers, even the books and magazines seems in danger.
We're losing the need to deal with physical items, and as a side effect, it seems like we're losing an ability to signal our tastes; which is ironic, given how personalization and sharing has taken over the web. When visiting someone's home, we would occupy ourselves by perusing each other's bookshelves. The books, CDs, and DVDs were essentially the tag clouds of the physical world. They weren't there just for storage, but also to signal our personality. Our collections not only express how we see ourselves, but also how we want others to see us.
