@vulture Excellent comment and deserving of #1.

This post continues a topic that was introduced in smarter open-line few months back.
Often when editing code one wishes to open a line just above the
current one, which is properly indented relative to the existing code,
and position the cursor at its beginning. Such a feature is present
in most IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and NetBeans. It's
sometimes bound to
Control+Shift+Enter. Last time I showed you how
to implement a similar function called
smart-open-line, this time
will implement
smart-open-line-above. Just add this snippet to your
.emacs (or
.emacs.d/init.el or whatever):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Evaluate the code (or restart Emacs) and you'll be able to use
M-x smart-open-line-above or
Control+Shift+Enter (aka
Admittedly this keybinding kind of sucks, so here's another option for
you -
M-o (used by default as the prefix for some font setting
commands nobody ever uses) for
smart-open-line and
M-O for
1 2
Another good option would be to fold the two commands into one and use a prefix argument to trigger the opening a new line above the current one.
This command is part of
Prelude(it's named
prelude-smart-open-line-above there).

In 1943, Chair of the IT and Consulting Company, IBM, Thomas Watson believed that the demand for computers worldwide was only five people. If he only knew what was to come! Many years later, in 1993, another tech pioneer made a similarly wrong prediction. Microsoft founder and Harvard drop-out Bill Gates made the statement that the Internet was just "hype".
Today, everybody knows that these predictions were all wrong. By 2011 alone, one-third of the world's population was online. Nevertheless, in the 90s, Gates was not alone in his opinion. Management of many established companies discounted the Internet as a temporary trend and neglected to prepare themselves for the Internet age.
By 1994, only one-third of the 500 largest companies in the world had registered the domain closest to their company name. They paid for this later on when most popular top-level domains had already been purchased. As a result companies were forced to pay expensive ransom payments and endure painful legal disputes.
Here are examples of five famous companies that had to fight for their own domain names:
#1 Nobody wanted Mcdonalds.com
In 1994, the journalist Joshua Quittner had an idea for a good story. During the ongoing debate about the utility of the Internet, he wrote an article about the value of domains. In the process of doing his research, he discovered the unused address mcdonalds.com and he wisely snatched it up.
But much to his surprise, this purchase didn't interest anybody! At the time, no one was tasked with managing digital assets for McDonalds such as their domain name. And oddly enough, even their competitor, Burger King did not want to explore this new digital territory – not even out of spite or just to annoy its competition.
Quittner was at a loss of what to do with the newly-registered mcdonalds.com domain so he asked his readers to send suggestions to email@example.com. Later on, however, when McDonald's did have someone managing their digital marketing in this scope, the domain was transferred to the corporation. By Quittner's request, the burger company contributed $3,500 to a school in Brooklyn for the purchase of computers and the setup of access to the Internet.
#2 MTV pursues mtv.com
At the beginning of the 90s, nobody at MTV was interested in the Internet except for one person: MTV Video Jockey (VJ), Adam Curry who secured mtv.com. Curry even asked his employer whether there would be a problem with this purchase, to which MTV replied "no". This is a decision they would severely regret just one year later.
In 1994, Curry quit his job at MTV. With him, the station also lost the domain mtv.com. The case eventually landed in court, where the parties later came to an agreement and the domain was sold to MTV for an undisclosed sum.
#3 Why there are no cars on nissan.com
What do a Japanese automobile manufacturer and an Israeli immigrant have in common? The answer: the name and the interest in the domain nissan.com. In 1994 the computer entrepreneur Uzi Nissan secured nissan.com to sell his computer hardware and network services. Two years later, he started a small Internet service provider at nissan.net.
Both domains were a hot button for the massive automobile company even though up until that point they had been using nissanmotors.com. In 1999, the case went to court and a long legal battle ensued. To make a long story short: Uzi Nissan retained nissan.com barring some conditions while the Japanese automobile manufacturer had to settle for nissanusa.com.
#4 Tesla.com changes hands after 24 years
In the early 90's, Stu Grossman thought creating a fan page honoring Nikola Tesla was a good idea. In 1992, the Silicon Valley engineer secured the domain tesla.com and used it to honor the legendary inventor, physicist and electrical engineer.
At the time, unbeknownst to Stu, a California manufacturer of electric cars started in 2003 was also going to be named Tesla. Initially, this company was satisfied using the Web address teslamotors.com.
However, in 2016, Grossman handed the domain over to Tesla Inc. but how this agreement came to be is unclear and not publicly documented.
#5 Facebook fights for facebook.com
Even the now-famous Internet company Facebook once made a mistake with their domain name or more precisely, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. He originally started his social network, now immensely popular, under the somewhat awkward name Thefacebook and used the domain, thefacebook.com.
The correction to the name known today was made in 2005 when the newly-established Napster founder Sean Parker convinced Zuckerberg to eliminate the "the" in the name. Thefacebook became Facebook and facebook.com changed hands for $200,000.

The excitement mounts as they drive to the airport, get on the plane and fly up into the air, each step bringing an increasing level of amazement.

Ada of Caria
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Satrap of Caria
|Queen of Caria
|Alexander III (the Great) of Macedon
Ada of Caria (Ancient Greek: Ἄδα) (fl. 377 – 326 BC)[1] was a member of the House of Hecatomnus (the Hecatomnids) and ruler of Caria in the 4th century BC, first as Persian Satrap and later as Queen under the auspices of Alexander III (the Great) of Macedon.
Ada was the daughter of Hecatomnus, satrap of Caria, and sister of Mausolus, Artemisia, Idrieus, and Pixodarus. She was married to her brother Idrieus, who succeeded Artemisia in 351 BC and died in 344 BC. On the death of her husband Ada became satrap of Caria, but was expelled by her brother Pixodarus in 340 BC. Ada fled to the fortress of Alinda, where she maintained her rule in exile.
When Alexander the Great entered Caria in 334 BC, Ada adopted Alexander as her son and surrendered Alinda to him. In return, Alexander accepted the offer and gave Ada formal command of the Siege of Halicarnassus.[2] After the fall of Halicarnassus, Alexander returned Alinda and made Ada queen of the whole of Caria.[3] Ada's popularity with the populace in turn ensured the Carians' loyalty to Alexander.
According to Turkish archaeologists, the tomb of Ada has been discovered, although this claim remains unresolved. Her remains are on display in the archaeological museum of Bodrum.[4]

Barielle Do Unto Others
Friday, January 31, 2014
Barielle Do Unto Others is a muted medium mint green creme. For some strange reason, the polish I have looks totally different from other swatches I've seen of it online. The other ones are much brighter and more turquoise so this bottle I have might be the wrong polish. The formula and application was great though. This is two coats.
I love minty green shades so I'm enjoying this polish a lot. What do you think of this color?
40 comments:
That's really odd! I've also seen swatches of it and yours isn't nearly as bright. It's still really pretty though. It looks kind of similar to OPI Mermaid's Tears.ReplyDeleteReplies
Its so strange! Thanks Melissa, I'm still really enjoying the shade regardless. I agree, it really is similar to that color!Delete
Love it!! I've been very pleased with barielle. I might have to track this one down.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Amie! Yeah, there great! :)Delete
I've never tried Barielle before... I might give it a try now that I know the formula is good :) the color is really pretty but not that unique in my opinion... reminds me of mermaids's tears by OPIReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks and I agree that its not a unique color. I still love it though :)Delete
I love this colour. It's really perfect for spring!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks and I agree!Delete
Love that colour!ReplyDelete
I love Barielle and this color is beautiful! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Melissa! I'm really liking Barielle a lot too :)Delete
I do love this color on you.... so give it to me as it was given to you LOLReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! Haha :)Delete
This colour is gorgeous and really suits you!ReplyDelete
This is a lovely mint! It makes me wish mint greens didn't give me lobster-red hands haha!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Abby! Aww that's sad to hear you can't wear mint because of that too :(Delete
I love minty green polishes too so I love this one. I think I like it even more because of the dusty quality to it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Cynthia! Great to hear your liking it too :)Delete
Wow!!! I loved this shade very much :DReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Radha! :)Delete
This one looks so pretty :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Claudia! :)Delete
This type of green is hard to capture. Maybe that's why the others look different…? Anyway, it's beautiful! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! I think its most likely the wrong bottle because the swatches above look like that in real life too.Delete
It looks gorgeous on you! I adore this sort of shade xReplyDelete
I only have a couple of Barielle polishes and that's because of a swap but this is gorgeous!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Autumn! Great to hear that you have some colors from Barielle too! My collection of them is small but I really need to look into getting some more after my no buy though :)Delete
I love this! What a pretty, cool shade. And I have noticed that sometimes brands have a bit of a mistake and I have bottles with the same name but totally different shades!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks!! I guess your probably right on that too.Delete
Great dusty green Lisa!ReplyDelete
This is so pretty! Someone above suggested it looks like OPI Mermaid Tears-- guess I better pull that out of my stash and use it again soon!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Cat! Yeah, it does look similar to that OPI color too :)Delete
I don't know what it's supposed to look like, but I'm a sucker for a greyed-out blue or green. Pretty!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that :)Delete
I know this post is pretty old but I just pulled this color out of my stash and it has faded. I checked my swatch wheel from when I first bought it, like 2 yrs ago and it was just as deep and bright as everyone's swatches online. Now it has changed completely...its similar to yours but even lighter. So strange, it's been sitting in a helmer so no sunlight, now I wish I would've worn it when I first bought it!ReplyDeleteReplies
How strange indeed. I bought this from someone online so its surprising to hear that the color is suppose to be brighter and deeper in color. I still quite like it like this though.Delete
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! If you have a blog you would like me to check out, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Craig's List has survived numerous "Craig's List killers" and will probably survive Facebook Jobs. The classifieds marketplace makes money primarily from fees for job listings and real estate in New York.
Consultancy the AIM Group estimated total Craig's List revenue at $700 million in 2016. While I'm quite skeptical of that number, if it's even half that amount it's still amazing. (Facebook Jobs is mostly indifferent to Craig's List, although it's mentioned in the video below.)
The new Facebook local recruiting capability has its own Page, with aggregated postings. Specific openings also appear on company Pages. Users apply directly through Facebook in a streamlined application process that automatically includes information from the user's public profile.
If it works — meaning there are lots of jobs and lots of applicants — it will further strengthen Facebook's relationship with local businesses, giving them one more reason to use the site. And given the organic throttling that's gone on, most companies looking to fill positions will also be compelled to advertise as a practical matter. How much revenue that will generate for Facebook is an open question.
It's fascinating to watch Facebook evolve from a customer acquisition and marketing platform into a broader CRM/conversational/retention platform with a range of capabilities, including scheduling and booking. This is another non-acquisition tool that makes the site more useful for local businesses.

05 Jan Garden Creators Compose to "A Floral Symphony" – Part 1
Once again a prestigious group of garden designers will be pulling out all the stops when they design and build 26 fantastic show gardens for the 24th annual Northwest Flower & Garden Show, to be held February 8 – 12, 2012 at the Washington State Convention Center.
The garden show theme, "A Floral Symphony," is inspiring the show garden creators to design gardens influenced by music, including concertos, ballads, and blues. Others draw a storyline from the art of music composition or the soothing sounds of nature. Both music lovers and gardening aficionados will enjoy seeing these spectacular gardens brought to life as they herald spring at the beloved annual show. Many of our show gardens will also feature musicians at various times of the day, so you can enjoy the lilting sounds of soft melodies along with the inspirational gardens.
Judith Jones, owner of Fancy Fronds Nursery, has teamed up with Vanca Lumsden of Albe Rustics for many fanciful, award-winning show gardens. This year they are joining with Aw Pottery, and their inspiration comes from the 1888 tour de force "Scheherazade" by Russian composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov. Their fanciful garden will transport show goers on a magic carpet ride as they revel in the beauty of a lush and exotic Arabian night. Vanca once owned a nursery specializing in bog plants and water gardens, so if your wet garden areas have you bogged down, catch her seminar "Get Your Feet Wet" on Wednesday, February 8.
Prokofiev's beloved symphony "Peter and the Wolf" was the catalyst for a garden by newcomer James Sprague of Fancy Plants Gardens, creating his first show garden. "Peter and the Wolf – A Landscape Symphony" is a tale of two different worlds: the cultured and the wild. The main characters in the symphony (Peter, his Grandfather and, of course, the Wolf) can be found in the garden, represented by instruments and unique plant compositions. Parents and children alike will enjoy seeing this favorite symphony interpreted in a garden setting.
The musical term 'andante' means a slow and easy tempo, and slowing down to enjoy life is the message behind "Redefining Andante" by Mark Harp (known to many as The Pond Store.") as he joins forces with Sue Goetz of The Creative Gardener and Joan Bogan of Bogan Limousine Excursions. Find calm and peace in the sound and movement of water in a shady glen, where the hectic race and crescendo of life is far beyond this soothing garden of tranquility.
Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky's 1874 suite is a showpiece for virtuoso pianists and inspired Zsofia Pasztor of Innovative Landscape Technologies and Jill Nunemaker of Verterra Landscape Design www.verterradesign.com to create a native plant garden filled with recycled and repurposed objects, titled "Pictures at a Northwest Exhibition: Rhapsody in Green." Look for invaluable lessons in the beautiful yet sustainable garden, as they showcase a rain garden, wetland roof, cistern and slope restoration. Zsofia is a leader in sustainable gardening, and those looking to make their gardens more wildlife friendly will want to hear her seminar, "At Home in a Habitat Garden," on Sunday, February 12.
Who doesn't dream of an "April in Paris," after the song by the same name made famous by Frank Sinatra in 1950? The team from Wight's Home & Garden will create a Paris street scene replete with a café and boulangerie nestled near a park with benches and a fountain. It will be brimming with spring blooming favorites, all reflecting a European casual symmetry with abundant texture, color and, of course, plenty of romance.
The Northwest Orchid Society returns to the show with a garden created by Joe Grienauer, of Emerald City Orchids, titled "Symphony Orchidstra." Their show-stopping symphony of orchids will be much like a real symphony orchestra – grouping the orchids based on cultural requirements the way an orchestra groups its various instruments. As it has in its previous show gardens, the NOS artfully combines stunning displays of orchids with an educational component that both novice and experienced orchid fanciers will enjoy.
Not all music in our life is man-made, and bird song reminds us of the natural balance of the world outside our doors as we share the Earth with our feathered friends. "Birdsong" is a garden that represents a range of bird habitats – marshland at the shore of a lake, woodland edge, and deeper forest. The Arboretum at Washington Park and the Seattle Audubon Society will be showing us ways to provide food and shelter for the birds, in a garden designed by award-winning designers Phil Wood, Roger Williams and Bob Lilly, winners of the Pacific Horticulture Award last February.
For an preview of the Arboretum/Audobon garden you won't want to miss the Opening Night Party. Enjoy delicious food, wine, silent auctions, live entertainment and an exclusive first look at the spectacular horticulture displays in the show, including the Arboretum and Audobon display. Go to the Arboretum website for more information and to purchase tickets.
The sound of the dinner bell is the genesis of a garden by Michael Seliga of Cascadian Edible Landscapes, creating a garden in the show for the first time. His garden is titled "Dinner Bell Rings: Eat Your Yard," and the 99% edible garden will be food-and-family-oriented, showcasing recycled and affordable materials for today's cost and environmentally conscious urban homesteading family. Look for an unusual piece of art in the garden where the musical theme supports a showcase of vertical gardening.
Nancy Claire Guth of Artistic Garden Concepts returns with Van Zanten Landscapes to design another show garden. For her 2012 show garden she takes a romantic turn with a garden titled "If I Write You a Song…" Her dreamy woodland garden, with softly dimmed lights and sweetly scented plants, has an intimate table for two on the terrace as a poet invites his lady love to join him for the evening. "If I say 'I love you,' out under the tree, could I bear to hear what you whisper to me?" he muses, hopelessly waiting for an answer.
Another garden drawing inspiration from natural sounds is designed by Heidi Skievaski of Sublime Garden Design, installing a garden with Natural Concepts Landscapes Co. Their eclectic Northwest garden, inspired by neuroacoustic research, is titled "The Resonating Sounds of Nature – Finding Peace and Solace in the Garden." It seeks to create a three-dimensional sound environment based on the primordial sounds found in nature, with rainwater falling on drums and trickling through a stream, taking us back to the beginning of our human journey.
A massive, gnarled tree stump, huge boulders and sculptured bonzai are the signatures of a garden by Dan Robinson and Will Robinson of Elandan Gardens. Their 2012 garden, "A Force of Nature in 5 Strings" is drawn from a concerto in 5 string banjo. Highly naturalistic, the garden features a 50-year-old Scots pine towering over a pristine pond along with a family dining table created from hand-sculpted stone.

How To Video
Use Expose feature in Snow LeopardBrian Tong shows us all the bells and whistles of Dock Expose in Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
^M00:00:01 [ Music ] ^M00:00:09 >> What's up? Brian Tong here with cnet.com to show you one of the newest bells and whistles in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Now if you're familiar with Expose, they've now added a new feature called Dock Expose so if I hold my button on top of an app from the Dock, all the specific windows for that app will immediately snap to Expose. Now from there I can move around and press a space bar to preview individual items as well. We have so much going on at one time and a really cool feature is the ability to find content and use Dock Expose to throw it directly into an application. So for example here I have an e-mail and I want to put a picture in it. I know it's hanging out somewhere on my desktop so I'll first find it, then I drag and hold it on to the app; you'll see Dock Expose in action and then I'll find that e-mail window I want, hold the picture over it and it brings it to the front and now my picture is in my e-mail. They've also added an improvement to the Expose feature. You'll now be able to see the minimized windows in your Dock separated by a line to distinguish them from Windows on your desktop. I'm Brian Tong for cnet.com with your Snow Leopard How To. Use it wisely.

By Bob Cesca:
Jonah Goldberg's recent column, "To Appeal to Black Voters, GOP Must Run Gauntlet of Racism Accusations," is hilariously awful. I'll swing back around to it presently.
But first, over the weekend Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs tweeted that if you're wondering whether the baseless Republican attacks on UN Ambassador Susan Rice were racially motivated, you should read the comment sections on any random conservative blog and your worst suspicions will be confirmed.
I'm sure with many hardline right-wingers this might be true, especially after minority voters helped to resoundingly crush their tiny shriveled souls in the election. But, frankly, I don't think it's the case across-the-board. Conservatives hate everything the president does, and everyone with whom he surrounds himself, including Rice. So as soon as Rice stepped onto the Sunday shows and talked about the Benghazi situation, she was the next Obama administration player in line to be consumed by the wackaloon conspiracy theorists and the conservative entertainment complex meat grinder.
Yes, if she's nominated for Secretary of State, conservative racists will oppose her because she's black. And yes, others will oppose her because it's the opposite of what the president wants. And others will combine both, using flimsy attacks on Rice's character mixed with subtle dog-whistles. All three approaches are predictable modern Republican Party strategies.
But Jonah Goldberg doesn't believe there are any racists in the Republican Party. In his column last week, he began by explaining that the Republican Party is, in fact, not racist at all, therefore it can't possibly be attacking Rice because she's African American.
Apologies if you reflexively spat out your beverage, soaking your keyboard. Send the bill to Goldberg.
The Democratic Party, Golberg wrote, is totally the racist party and yet it somehow wins nearly all of the black vote. Therefore the Republicans should get more "racist" in order to win more black votes. ("Scare quotes" his.) Are you following this?
How does Goldberg figure the Democratic Party is more racist? With the hackish, historically ignorant conflation of the Democrats of 1860 with the Democrats of 2012, of course. Sure, the Democratic Party was once the conservative states' rights, small government party of the white supremacist, secessionist, Christian South. Sound familiar?
As I've written here before, the Democrats-are-the-real-racists-because-of-slavery argument is a common fallacy that many conservative writers repeat — cynically counting on their readers to be too lazy to bother reading about the actual history of party platforms in America.
If Goldberg was willing to be honest about political history, he'd know that party identification hasn't always been as cut and dried as it is today. He'd know that the parties have evolved, tossing platform planks back and forth over the decades, and essentially swapping ideological characteristics via an ongoing timeline of permutations. The more accurate measure of policy and ideology is to look at what's constituted "liberalism" and "conservatism" over the years, but even that's changed. In judging the platforms and ideas of various political groups, it's simply best to stick with a window of around 30-40 years at most.
Yeah, I know. I'm expecting reason and facts from the wrong people.
What else should we expect from the author of the paradoxical Liberal Fascism book? It sounds like he might be working on a follow-up called "Liberal Racism." (You might recall how conservatives like Glenn Beck tried to pull similar semantic tricks with "socialism" by conflating it with the "National Socialist Party" of Germany. Attention conservatives: just because it's called a "hot dog" doesn't mean it contains actual dogs.)
Anyway, Goldberg continued by predictably naming his "black friends" as a means of underscoring the Republican record on racial tolerance. Colin Powell, for example! And Condoleezza Rice!
In addition to conveniently overlooking the history of political parties, Goldberg ignored the Republican use of the Southern Strategy and its current Lee Atwater-style dog whistles, such as "food stamps" and "gutting welfare reform." He doesn't mention that unnecessary voter ID laws are unapologetically aimed squarely at disenfranchising minorities. And, as Charlie Pierce noted: John Sununu. Full stop. However, Goldberg did take note of Romney's birth certificate remark during the campaign, and, naturally, he laughed it off as a bad joke. No mention, however, of "Obama Isn't Working" or Romney's repeated dog-whistle use of "foreign" to describe the president's economic record.
Admittedly, not every accusation of racism against the Republican Party has turned out to be actual racism. But the birther thing is. The Southern Strategy is. The Voter ID crusade is. And in numerous cases, Republicans hate the president because he represents the browning of America and the slow suffocation of white supremacy. They're willing to permit a few tokens like Marco Rubio, Allen West and Condoleezza Rice because they serve a purpose: to blunt often valid criticism of racism in the party's rhetoric and electoral strategy. But leaders like Susan Rice and Barack Obama are the real deal, with lopsidedly massive support among all minority groups. Republicans will never fully understand how badly the Southern Strategy has poisoned their party. And no matter how many "scare quotes" are employed or how many times they desperately reach back and try to paint the modern Democratic Party with a Dixiecrat brush, they've created this racism problem themselves and I doubt they can dig their way out of it.

JYJ's Jaejoong and TVXQ's Yunho spotted together
The 13th Ground Forces Festival took place recently, and lucky fans who were at the event got to see Jaejoong and Yunho together!
Yunho was an MC, and Jaejoong put on a performance. In the video (below), you will see Jaejoong below the stage and Yunho on the stage in red.
The two talked to one another backstage, and Jaejoong even greeted Yunho's family members and manager. Fans have taken pictures (below) of the two conversing, high-fiving, and hugging, seeming to be catching up. (*starts to tear up*) The two used to be in the same group back in the day, but because of various reasons, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu decided to leave SM Entertainment, forming the group JYJ. The remaining members, Yunho and Changmin, still work as members of TVXQ.
This is definitely BIG news for all the five members' fans out there since no one could've imagined this happening — to see these members together in the same place, at the same time, and even interacting with one another!
Who wishes to see the original members back together like this? Share your thoughts below, and remember to "Always Keep the Faith."
Watch Jaejoong in Triangle:

No matter what time of year it is, stone projects such as interlocking stone driveways and natural stone walkways and patios can shift and buckle due to changes in temperature. This is due to seasonal freeze and thaw cycles that occur every year.
Past News ReleasesRSS
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) January 10, 2014
Fine Design Living (http://www.FineDesignLiving.com), one of the Greater Toronto Area's leading boutique design and build firms and specializing in high-quality exterior and interior custom renovations for residential and commercial clients, is announcing its top cost-effective way to prevent expensive patio, walkway, and driveway repairs as a result of seasonal buckling.
"No matter what time of year it is, stone projects such as interlocking stone driveways and natural stone walkways and patios can shift and buckle due to changes in temperature. This is due to seasonal freeze and thaw cycles that occur every year." says Braden White, owner of Fine Design Living. "Unfortunately, having to make repairs, sometimes annually, can be extremely expensive and time-consuming."
With the extreme seasonal temperatures experienced in the GTA, White explains, it's imperative that property owners hire contractors that are familiar with and use the latest construction trends. When it comes to enhancing the appearance of a property's landscape with interlocking or natural stone, using the proper base material is one of the most important steps. Using the most advanced base material increases the strength, durability, and longevity of a project; cutting corners by using improper, inadequate or outdated base material can result in costly repairs.
"Over the years, there have been many different types of materials used for the base of interlocking and natural stone projects such as driveways, walkways, and patios," he adds. "Only the most experienced and knowledgeable companies use the kind of products that ensure a project's longevity."
Fine Design Living uses "Ultrabase," a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) that turns into a concrete base once compacted; this prevents the unwanted shifting of stone that can occur after just one season. Although there is a premium to use this kind of material, it typically pays for itself, as customers don't have to worry about the expense of unwanted repairs.
"Hiring a contractor that uses an RCC base for stone projects helps reduce the worry of shifting or any deformation of a newly installed stone project. Unlike the base products used by less experienced contractors, using an RCC base can increase the sustainability of an outdoor project up to 10 or more years," White concludes. "Those interested in a new backyard patio or other outdoor project should contact an experienced design and build firm like Fine Design Living to help them better understand the benefits of using an RCC base for their next stone project."
Fine Design Living is a boutique design and build firm, specializing in high-quality exterior and interior custom renovations for both residential and commercial clients. From unique landscape designs and landscape construction to custom interior renovations, Fine Design Living is committed to providing the highest-quality workmanship, backed by a personalized approach to service excellence. Based out of Markham, Fine Design Living serves customers in Toronto and the GTA, including Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Vaughan, Newmarket, Unionville, Aurora, and Stouffville. More information about Fine Design Living is available by visiting the firm's web site at http://www.FineDesignLiving.com or by calling 416-817-6128.

If the Co-op Group were a public company it would be very big. By most estimates, Britain's largest mutual society would easily qualify for entry into the FTSE 100 as a listed business, perhaps even the FTSE 30. Therefore, the peculiar way this gigantic organisation is run has been a frequent source of bemusement in the City.
To say the Co-op board is unusual, compared with other British companies of a similar size, is a blatant understatement. Among its 21 directors, about double the size of the average Plc board, is a nurse, a farmer, a retired publisher, a self-employed plasterer, and former Labour City minister Lord Myners.
On Wednesday, Lord Myners, who only joined the board this year, sparked fresh turmoil at the mutual by resigning from his post as senior independent director. It came amid a row over a review he is conducting into the future of the business, and which had seen him state bluntly last month that, without reform, the business could go to the wall, imperilling the jobs of its 90,000 employees.
"Unless the group takes urgent steps to reform its governance so that it generates sustainable economic value, it will run out of capital to support its business," he warned.
Only days before his resignation, the Midcounties Co-operative, the biggest members of the mutual movement, came out publicly to slam his nascent reform proposals and that it would vote against the changes.
"If the group is simply presented with a menu that presents the Myners proposed position we will not support it," said Patrick Gray, president of Britain's largest independent society.
Though the Co-op does not have shareholders and is owned instead by its 7m members, the move by such a powerful voting block to stop the reforms was broadly comparable with a major investor in a public company attempting to kill a change by stating its opposition.
What appears to have gone down particularly badly with the Co-op establishment is the idea that the mutual should begin to create a corporate and governance structure more like its listed company peers.
For many members, it appears the Co-op's recent travails have still not sunk in. In the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis it appeared that the mutual's model had been vindicated, yet in the wake of the near collapse of its own banking arm and the transfer of the business to its bondholders it appeared the time for change may have come.
"A clear lesson from recent problems is that the board of the Co-op needs to become a competent and professional decision-making body," said Roger Barker, director of corporate governance at the Institute of Directors.
Questions over the way the Co-op is overseen are not new. In the run-up to its abandoned bid for Lloyds Banking Group's 632 "Project Verde" branches, regulators had warned the mutual would have to overhaul its board structure to take account of its expanded banking business.
The ill-fated takeover of the Somerfield supermarket chain, which greatly increased the organisation's debt burden, and the merger with the Britannia Building Society, which has been blamed for much of the Co-op Bank's later problems, have been taken as symptoms of a governance culture in which, despite the mutual's democratic ideals, allowed a relatively small clique to push through a series of deals with little real oversight or thought for the consequences.
"The indirect, layered manner in which the Group appointed people to the board meant that it did not necessarily put the most talented and experienced people in charge of the group as a whole. It is highly questionable whether these acquisitions should have occurred in the first place, and once they had taken place much stronger implementations skills would have been needed," said Michael Mol, a professor at Warwick Business School.
Prof Mol said it would be "wise" for the Co-op to adopt at least some of Lord Myners reforms when they are put to a vote of members in the middle of next month.
With powerful voices speaking out against the changes there remains considerable doubt that the 165-year-old business will take the steps necessary to secure its future. Pat McFadden, a Labour MP and member of the Treasury Select Committee, said the stand-off between Lord Myners and the big societies had created "a sense of crisis" at the Co-op. "It is really important the Co-op agrees a plan for the future," said Mr McFadden.
Lord Myners' resignation may have helped this cause, coming as it did just a month after Euan Sutherland quit as chief executive of the Co-op complaining that the business had effectively become ungovernable and urged it to undertake "fundamental governance reforms".
Ursula Lidbetter, chairman of the Co-op, said Mr Sutherland's departure would have to act as the "catalyst for the real and necessary change", but it seems that Lord Myners felt another resignation was needed to shock the organisation into action.
With so much change potentially on the horizon, it looks unlikely Lord Myners and Mr Sutherland will be the last senior Co-op members to head for the door. The question is whether the next batch will be ousted traditionalist or would be reformers. On that could hang the future and fate of one of Britain's strangest and most troubled, but arguably important, institutions.

The North Face O2 Tent is a free-standing tent for lightweight backpackers and thru-hiking. The O2 is a two person tent, yet weighs in at a total of 2lbs, 4oz. The tent body consists of a 15D lightweight nylon "no-see-um" mesh, keeping your body protected from teeny bugs while you sleep. The large single door makes for quick entry and exit, while the tarp-style fly creates a single vestibule for protecting your pack from wind and rain. The tent can be pitched with fly-only to drop weight, but I totally recommend you pick up the optional footprint if that's the case. You can even leave the end poles at home and use your trekking poles to erect the tent to make your pack even lighter.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.
Would you like to compare the products you have selected now?

Pak In The Hunt At Fields Open
Friday, February 23, 2007 6:46 AM EST
KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) _ Se Ri Pak usually skips the Hawaiian start of the LPGA Tour season. This year she decided to get a head start on sharpening her game.
``I come out and I don't want to screw around,'' she said. ``I'm here for winning and I'm here to play well.''
Pak, who needs to play just eight more events to qualify for the World Golf Hall of Fame this year, shot a 5-under 67 to trail rookie Angela Park and Stacy Prammanasudh heading into Friday's second round of the Fields Open.
The 23-time tour winner who led the South Korean wave of players on the LPGA Tour said she has a renewed spirit for the sport, which once left her burned out and exhausted.
``I'm really excited to play and every day is going to be different and I play better and better,'' she said.
Pak, who won her fifth career major last year at the LPGA Championship, made her move by holing a 30-foot downhill birdie putt on No. 10. She then hit a knockdown 4-iron shot to set up her 4-foot birdie putt on the par-3 12th, and followed with short birdie putts on Nos. 15 and 16.
``I feel that I'm ready but I don't feel like I'm mentally ready and really strong,'' she said. ``But the wind actually woke me up right away.''
The 29-year-old Pak also recently enrolled at a university in Korea and plans to take online business courses. She also wants to open up a golf academy.
``I really love this sport,'' she said.
While all the fans knew Pak, no one knew much about Park.
Without a single sponsor's logo on her cap, Park shot a 66 in windy conditions Thursday for a share of the lead with Prammanasudh.
The 18-year-old rookie, making just her fourth LPGA Tour start, showed maturity and composure in difficult conditions at the wide-open Ko Olina Golf Course.
``Everything I looked at went in,'' Park said. ``I was so confident (and) very comfortable on the greens.''
Park started strong, birdieing five of the first seven holes and making the turn at 31. She drove into the rough for a bogey on No. 10, but hit a wedge to set up her 7-foot birdie putt on 14 and sank a 25-footer for birdie on the 16th to reach 6 under.
After a successful amateur career that included five AJGA wins, Park played on the Futures Tour last year and earned her LPGA Tour card by tying for fifth at Q-school.
``This is what I've always wanted to do. This is my dream,'' she said.
Prammanasudh started on the back nine and had four straight birdies, starting with a 25-foot putt on No. 4, to shoot up the leaderboard and tie Park at 6 under.
The former University of Tulsa standout won the 2005 Franklin American Mortgage Championship for her lone LPGA Tour title.
Meaghan Francella survived a triple bogey and was at 68, along with Kyeong Bae. Jeong Jang, Jee Young Lee, Nicole Perrot and Pat Hurst shot 69s.
Karrie Webb, who moved up a spot to No. 2 in the latest world rankings, opened with a 70. Webb finished third at Turtle Bay last week after starting the year with a two-week Australian sweep. She won her third Women's Australian Open title three weeks ago and added her sixth Australian Ladies Masters victory the following week.
Defending champion Meena Lee shot a 71, leaving her tied with LPGA player of the year Lorena Ochoa and Ai Miyazato, who had a team of photographers from her native Japan following her every move.
Last year, Lee won the inaugural Fields Open for her second tour title, holding off Michelle Wie in regulation and beating Seon Hwa Lee on the third hole of a playoff.
Paula Creamer, who won the SBS for her first LPGA title in 19 months, opened with a 72.

Overcoming Fear: The Effect of Anxiolytic Medication Administration on Interval Timing Distracters
Document Type
Journal/Book Title/Conference
Research On Capitol Hill 2014
Publication Date
Faculty Mentor
Catalin Bahusi, Mona Bahusi
Affective disorders such as depression, phobias, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder impair the ability to time in the seconds-to-minutes range, i.e., interval timing. According to the Relative Time-Sharing (RTS) model, presentation of task-irrelevant distracters during a timing task results in a delay in responding suggesting a failure to maintain subjective time in working memory, possibly due to attentional and working memory resources being diverted away from timing. Given that some anxiolytic medications have beneficial effects on attention and working memory, e.g., decreasing emotional response to negative events, we hypothesized that they would result in a decreased effect of distracters on the timekeeping abilities. We investigated the effect of administration of anxiolytic medication when anxiety-inducing task-irrelevant distracters were presented during an interval timing task, using methods similar to Matthews et. al. (2012) Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience 6(111): 1-12. Results are discussed in relation to the brain circuits involved in RTS of resources, and the pharmacological management of affective disorders.

[Scans] Tackey Times Vol. 1 & 2
"Tackey Times" is the name of Takki's column or essay in the monthy FRaU magazine, starting from the August 2011 issue. In each volume, he will write about a certain theme, and so far, the images of both volumes have been monochrome, which I find really kakkoii! It's a pity there are only 2 pages each (and the mag costs $17 lol~).
Vol. 1 – 1930s America
Vol. 2 – Summer in Japan
When I first saw Vol. 1, my immediate reaction was… *shocked* LOL… But when I saw Vol. 2, it was KYAAA~~ Tono looks so good in yukata, and I'm not sure if it's the way his hair was styled, or the angle of his face, or the way he walked, or his bare feet… or all of the above lol, but that pic of him walking down the streets is chou kakkoii!
[Scans] Anecan 08/2011
[Scans] Eye-Ai 08/2011
I received this magazine rather promptly from CDJapan earlier this week, scanned it on the day itself, but only had time to post it today lol. Here's the August issue of Eye-Ai! Takki is on the cover, and the entire article is in English :)
Center Stage: Takizawa Hideaki, Fascinating and Multi-Dimensional
There are 12 pages here, including the cover and content page. I left out the 2 pages of Japanese translation text at the end of the magazine. On top of that, there are many nice pictures used in the article albeit monochrome ones. I love that pic of Takki painting his face white!
[Scans] FRaU 07/2011
It's been a crazy week at office… had to make a major decision on something. Not sure if I made the right choice or not but I guess I'll not know until I try. Anyway, I met up with hoshi last week for dinner! And we went to Kino to collect this magazine below~ I scanned it but didn't have the time to post until now. Gomen…
I love that first scan up there!!! Although it's so red, he looks sooo good! XDDDD
Wow, that piece of branded shirt is expensive ne! Ah, best news is, from the next issue onwards, Takki will have his own essay series! Guess I'll have to part with 17 bucks for a page (or two) every month! lol~

We will do everything we can to assist you with the shipping and delivery of your purchase. Below is an overview of the shipping process and an explanation of all your shipping options. Do not hesitate to contact us via live chat or call us directly to discuss the process in detail.
DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE... do not take shipping lightly. We have a No-Worry / Hassle-Free Shipping Process that is second to none. BEWARE of claims of free shipping. Often that is to some other delivery point or terminal where you will have to arrange a pick-up of merchandise heavier and more awkward than a giant freezer, or you will find it brought only to your curbside with no lift-gate services. ADDITIONALLY, the cost of free shipping is often built into the price of the item therefore never really creating any savings but definitely creating a lot more risk and work for you.
NOTE: All shipping costs listed on the gameroomchamp.com website and items listed as "Free Shipping" are within the Continental United States only unless otherwise disclosed.
Shipping Method:
All merchandise will ship via freight carrier, UPS, USPS or Fed-Ex. Dimensions, weight and other general characteristics of the product affect which method to ship.

Note that multiple products could be shipped by different methods and/or carriers from the same transaction and/or same shipping destination.
For the charges listed with respective merchandise on this site, the following services are provided:
Shipping Time:

Most merchandise set-up is available please call for pricing. Remember, we do provide lifetime technical support via telephone for all assembly and/or installation and set-up questions at No Charge.
Merchandise Delivery Inspection:
Although the Champ Triple Test is performed before all merchandise is shipped, we cannot be responsible to damage caused during shipment. Once you sign for a shipment, it is extremely difficult to hold a Shipping/ Freight Company responsible for damage caused during shipment. This can make it so that you may not be able to later file a claim with the Shipping/Freight Company. You must immediately and thoroughly inspect all merchandise prior to signing for receipt of any shipment. If there is significant damage, then it is recommended that you refuse the shipment and not sign acceptance of delivery. If there is slight/minimal damage, then you must notate those details on the bill of lading presented to you by the Shipping/Freight Company before you sign acceptance. If you are unsure about what steps to take, immediately contact us and follow directions in the CLAIM-SHIPPING/DAMAGE form.
If you see damage to the crate or carton but cannot tell if there is any damage to the contents, accept your shipment and sign the delivery receipt SUBJECT TO FURTHER INSPECTION COULD CONTAIN CONCEALED DAMAGE. Open the box(es) immediately to alert us of any concealed damage. We will process a claim with the carrier. You have two (2) days to alert us of any concealed damages.
Merchandise Ready to Play/Adjustments and Repair:
Due to the very nature of the shipping and transportation process and type of merchandise contained in this site, some slight adjustments and repair may need to be made once shipment in received. This can be caused by many factors such as the mere moving around of games in loading and unloading, vibrations, weather conditions, temperatures in trucks, etc. Please contact us directly for free technical support to guide you through this process. Your purchase with us is your agreement to make reasonable efforts to make adjustments/repair to your merchandise to get it ready to play.

It's no secret that many women in Hollywood turn to Botox to help maintain their youthful looks — but does Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton do the same? Though we'll likely never know for 100 percent sure if the mom-of-two has chosen to get injections to keep herself looking fresh-faced, two plastic surgeons opened up to Closer Weekly about Kate's stunning look.
"It looks like she may have [gotten Botox injections] in the forehead area," board certified facial plastic surgeon and renowned facial feminization surgeon Dr. Vartan Mardirossian told us. "[In recent photos], her right eyebrow is slightly lower than the left one... [and] the medial portions of the eyebrows are more relaxed and slightly lower than [in older pics]. [This is] something that may happen when Botox is injected to treat frown lines, and as a side effect, it diffuses to the frontalis muscle that lies underneath that causes the eyebrows to temporarily shift slightly downwards."

Interestingly, Dr. Mardirossian noted that if Kate has gotten Botox, her doctor has "overall done a good job" at keeping the Duchess' face looking as natural as possible. That makes total sense — of course Kate would have the best plastic surgeons and skincare experts at her disposal! Another expert, board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Miller, agreed with Dr. Mardirossian's sentiments and similarly said that Prince William's wife "might" have gotten Botox.
"While her forehead looks smooth like she might have received Botox, [it is hard to be sure]. Some people have naturally smooth skin, but if she tries to raise her eyebrows or frown and nothing happens, then you know she had undergone the treatment," Dr. Miller added. While we don't really know if Kate has undergone any plastic surgery procedures, we do know that the royal uses chocolate (yes, seriously!) and a $22 face oil to keep herself looking flawless!

By Robbin Dewalt
Long Beach, California
February 19, 2016
I was fortunate enough to have been invited to this historic event. During the ceremony, speakers consisted of the Chairman and CEO of CMA CGM Mr. Jacques R. Saade, Long Beach Mayor Dr. Robert Garcia and Port of Long Beach officials. The inauguration was performed by the sponsor/godmother of the CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin Mrs. Shelley McMillon, who is also the President and CEO of Walmart Stores, Inc. Sponsors are considered a permanent member of the ship's crew, and are meant to bring good luck to the ship. After the inauguration we were treated to vessel tours of this amazing ship. From the dock to the wheel house all aspects of the ship were very impressive.
The CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin is the first vessel of its size to call a US Port including all of North America. It is equipped with the most up to date environmental technology that uses less fuel, emits less carbon dioxide, and complies with 2025 efficiency standards.
Despite being so efficient and environmentally friendly, the Benjamin Franklin boasts some impressive stats. It is longer than 4 football fields or 5.5 Airbus A380 aircraft, and is as high as a 20 story building, at 197' tall. It is 1306 feet long – Longer than the Aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush (332m/1090ft). The engine is as powerful as 900 Ford Focus cars, and is coupled with a propeller to provide 21-knots thrust, equivalent to that of 11 Boeing 747-400 engines. All of this allows the ship holds 18,000 TEU's or 109km of containers end to end, the distance between Santa Monica, CA and Santa Barbara, CA.

BAILEY RYAN, West Richland
Students are greatly affected by policies enacted by school boards, but they generally have no say in the policy themselves.
When the Richland School Board members were talking about bonds and building new schools and converting existing ones, did they speak with any current or former students about how they thought the schools could be improved?
Many students do have opinions about how some small changes to schools could greatly improve them or reduce the financial needs of an institution.
Many schools require only minor adjustments because of age. The bigger issue is class size. If students were allowed to have more choices about the schools they could attend, the class sizes would be more manageable.
Having more schools available to students would cause more students to be able to learn their own way and thus better. When they can learn better, they will be able to be educated better, without being disheartened with the usual struggles students encounter when they are being forced to learn in a way that is unnatural to them.
So, why don't school systems involve students more in the policy making system?

But when you arrive at your ball, the resulting lie has your front foot several inches below your back foot. The fantasy of a wedge and a kick-in is now replaced with just preventing a bogey. We asked Pro V1x loyalist Louis Oosthuizen to help us level our stance, and our heads, for this tough shot. Louis told us that he sees most amateurs make the mistake of distributing their weight on their rear foot. "You need to put your weight on your (lead) foot, to make sure you get everything level to the ball, to make sure you make good contact with the ball." Watch the video above to see what else Louis has to say about alignment, to turn this shot into a highlight in your next round. Share this story Facebook Twitter Google Plus LinkedIn

A south suburban man says a Country Club Hills police dog attacked him this summer as he walked home from work.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court, Damon Metcalfe claims that as he approached his home on West 179th Street in Country Club Hills at about 3 a.m. on June 29, he heard someone yell "get over here" behind him.
As he glanced over his shoulder, he saw the police dog running toward him until it leapt at him and began biting him.

The annual NRS publication on the most popular baby names in Scotland is always popular. But did you know that the policy and process behind the registration of those names is quite complicated, and different to that used by other countries?
In France, for instance, until 1993 parents had to choose from a list of officially sanctioned baby names (and only those names). Since then parents have had a greater degree of choice, but a name can still be banned if a French court decides it is not in the best interest of the child. Recent cases have seen the names 'Strawberry' and 'Nutella' disallowed for baby girls, as the court considered they might be bullied because of them!
In Scotland, parents have more freedom to choose and register the name of their new baby. We don't have a formalised list of names, or enshrine acceptable names in law, but it isn't quite a free-for-all. Names are discouraged which refer to a 'title of dignity or status' (such as sir or lord); which are objectionable, or otherwise offensive; which are fanciful; which are spelled in an unusual manner; or which contain initials not standing for any other name.
