By ALAN FRAM, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans blocked another of President Barack Obama's picks for one of the nation's top courts on Tuesday, the latest skirmish in a nominations battle that has intensified partisan tensions in the chamber.
Tuesday's near-party line vote derailed Obama's selection of Georgetown University law professor Cornelia Pillard to fill one of three vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The vote was 56-41 in favor of ending GOP procedural delays that have blocked Pillard from winning confirmation — four short of the 60 votes Democrats needed.
The D.C. circuit court is considered one of the nation's most powerful because it rules on administration orders and regulations and because some of its judges ultimately become Supreme Court justices. The D.C. circuit's eight current judges are divided evenly between Democratic and Republican nominees.
Democrats used the vote to assail Republicans for opposing female nominees to the D.C. circuit. Republicans have blocked votes on two other Obama nominees to the same court this year, attorneys Patricia Millett and Caitlin Halligan.
"Women are grossly underrepresented on our federal courts. So what kind of message are Senate Republicans sending by refusing to even allow a vote on three of the most qualified female attorneys in this country," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said.
Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, top Republican on the Judiciary panel, called such arguments "offensive," adding that Democrats' "last line of defense is to accuse Republicans of opposing nominees based upon gender or race."
Democrats have been threatening that if Republicans continue derailing Obama's nominations, they might unilaterally rewrite Senate rules to make it harder for the chamber's minority party to do that. It is unclear that Democrats have enough votes to do so, with some senior lawmakers warning that the change would boomerang against them should the GOP recapture the Senate majority and the White House.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the vote on Pillard "a political exercise designed to distract the American people from the mess that is Obamacare," a reference to the major enrollment problems with the 2010 health care law. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Republicans were making "cynical arguments in an effort to maintain an ideological edge" among judges on the D.C. circuit.
Republicans have accused Obama of trying to tilt the court's balance in his direction to protect the fate of his administration's policies. They say the D.C. circuit has a lighter caseload than other districts, and have proposed legislation eliminating one of its vacant judgeships and moving the two others to busier circuits.
Democrats say the GOP objections are purely political and that Republicans did not object to filling D.C. circuit vacancies when George W. Bush was president. They cite other statistics to argue that the D.C. circuit's workload has changed little in recent years.
Pillard worked twice in the administration of President Bill Clinton — at the solicitor general's office, which handles Supreme Court cases, and later in the Justice Department. She'd previously worked for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and has argued nine cases before the Supreme Court.
Another Obama nominee for the D.C. circuit, U.S. District Judge Robert Wilkins, is expected to be considered by the Senate in coming days and seems likely to be blocked.
Associated Press writer Nedra Pickler contributed to this report.

As President Bush Friday rallied U.S. troops just returned from Iraq, some opinion polls showed weakening public support for the president's handling of Iraq policy. The president stressed that the troops have helped make the United States safer from terrorist attack. President Bush traveled to an army base in the state of Georgia to award a presidential citation to members of the 3rd Infantry Division which led the push to capture Baghdad.
"Following that day of liberation, 3rd I.D. soldiers have helped the Iraqi people to recover from years of oppression, to begin the work of building a free Iraq," he said.
The occupation of Iraq has continued to bring near-daily casualties for U.S. troops. The total number of soldiers killed since the president declared an end to major combat operations in May is now higher than the number of deaths recorded during the fight itself.
The 3rd Infantry Division has taken the highest number of U.S. casualties in Iraq, and Mr. Bush Friday remembered those who gave their lives for what he calls "a just cause."
"You remember them as comrades and friends," said president Bush. "This nation will remember them for their unselfish courage, for their sacrifice in a time of danger to America. We honor their memory and pray for God's comfort on their family and loved ones."
Mr. Bush is under increasing domestic pressure to lay out his vision for a post-war Iraq. In a nationwide address Sunday discussing that effort, he asked Congress for $87 billion for Iraq.
Before that speech, public opinion polls showed 54 percent of Americans believed the president did not have a good plan for Iraq. Since Sunday's speech, that number has risen to nearly 60 percent.
President Bush still enjoys relatively high approval ratings for fighting terrorism and he is continuing to stress the link between terrorism and Iraq.
At Fort Stewart Friday, he again called Iraq the central front in the war on terror, vowing to win what he calls "an essential victory."
"The terrorists have a strategic goal," he said. "They want America to leave Iraq before our work is done. You see, they believe their attacks on our people and on innocent people will shake the will of the United States and the civilized world. They believe America will run from a challenge. They don't know us very well."
A day after the second anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Mr. Bush again traced the fight against terrorism back to the violence of that day and his resolve to punish those responsible.
"America saw the face of a new adversary, an enemy that plots in secret, an enemy that rejects the rules of war, an enemy that rejoices in the murder of the innocent," he said. "We made a pledge that day, and we have kept it. We are bringing the guilty to justice. We are taking the fight to the enemy."
Following his stop at the army base, Mr. Bush travels to the state of Mississippi to raise money for a Republican gubernatorial candidate and on to Texas to raise funds for a community center before spending the weekend at the presidential retreat at Camp David.

MONTREAL – The Montreal Canadiens dressing room remained closed to the media for a long time after their 5-0 loss to the Washington Capitals on Saturday night. And when it opened, every player was at his stall.
That's a sure sign that a team is in a slump and is searching for answers.
"It's embarrassing to be at home and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges. "We have nobody to blame except ourselves and we have to be a lot more resilient moving forward."
The Canadiens (27-20-5) have lost four in a row and five of six, allowing Eastern Conference rivals to move closer to the playoff spot they held by a comfortable margin until recently.
The slump has rumours flying of trades and has some questioning whether coach Michel Therrien's job is safe, although Gorges doesn't see a need for a change.
"I cannot see one guy that has lost faith in anyone in this organization," he said. "That's not who we are.
"Collectively, we're just in a rut and we're finding ways to beat ourselves. Tonight, once we got down, mentally we didn't have that resiliency. But in no way, shape or form are we quitting on anybody."
The Canadiens half-effort, in which they were outshot 27-3 at one point in the second frame before closing the gap to 34-21, was just what the struggling Capitals (23-21-8) needed.
Alex Ovechkin returned from missing two gamjes with a lower body injury to start a four-goal second period as the Capitals ended a seven-game winless run. The Caps had scored only eight goals in their seven previous games.
"It's a big win, a good win for the boys," said Ovechkin. "It brings some confidence back.
"This building is an exciting place. It's good."
John Erskine, Jay Beagle and John Carlson also scored in the middle period and Casey Wellman, who was recalled Saturday from AHL Hershey, scored on a feed from Ovechkin on a 2 on 1 counterattack 8:38 into the third period.
Erskine, Beagle and Wellman each got his first of the season, while Ovechkin got his league-leading 36th.
Carlson's goal at 10:31 of the middle period chased goalie Carey Price in favour of backup Peter Budaj. It was a sixth straight game in which Montreal allowed four or more goals.
Caps goalie Braden Holtby improved his record against Montreal to 5-0-0 with two shutouts.
The Canadiens talked among themselves about the rut they are in after the game, but it was management that ordered every player to stay in the room to face the media.
They had been booed mercilessly by the 21,273 Bell Centre fans, who also gave a mock cheer when they were held without a shot on goal until Daniel Briere got only their fourth of the game at 12:25 of the second period.
"It's probably the biggest cheer I ever got for making a save," said Holtby.
"People should be frustrated," said Montreal defenceman P.K. Subban. "I'm frustrated. Everybody's frustrated in here.
"But that's life. That's part of the sport. It's how you respond. I think we have the right attitude in here. We just have to work through it."
Therrien said every team goes through bad patches in a season and it's up to them to play their way out of it.
"That the players had a meeting shows they want to fix the problem," he said. "I have confidence we will bounce back from this."
Price said the meeting should help.
"We need to tackle this problem as a team," he said. "Doing things individually is what got us to this point. So this was a good step.
"At this point, our support isn't good enough. We have to battle better for our teammates. You have to count on the guy beside you. Right now we're not doing that."
The Canadiens seemed to go to pieces once Washington got the lead.
Ovechkin fed Troy Brouwer on a power play for a shot that was disallowed when video review found it entered the net a fraction of a second after the first period ended.
The man advantage had just ended when Ovechkin produced magic in the second period when Jason Chimera's rebound looked to be floating past the net. He tapped the puck twice in the air to keep it from getting away, then he lifted it into an open side for his 36th of the season.
"It was kind of a tough angle, but it's in and we'll take it," said Ovechkin.
Less than two minutes later, Erskine saw his sliding pass go through a surprised Price's legs after Subban lifted Brooks Laich's stick in front of the net.
Beagle scored on a set-up from Tom Wilson at 6:21 and Carlson added one on a long shot Price didn't see.
The Capitals have won seven in a row at the Bell Centre since March, 2011 and are 9-1-1 in their last 11 visits.
Notes _ There was a standing ovation in a pre-game ceremony for Anthony Calvillo. The CFL's all-time passing leader retired this week from the Montreal Alouettes. . . There was also a moment's silence for victims of the Ile-Verte fire. . . Montreal defenceman Raphael Diaz was scratched for a fourth game. . . While Ovechkin returned, centre Mikhail Grabovski sat out with a lower body injury. . . Adam Oates coached his 100th Capitals game.

The kids were eager to pull out all the Halloween decorations yesterday. We spent the evening adding a little Halloween decor to the outside of our house.
My kids always want it to look scarier while I am more partial to a fresh orange, black & white palette with hints of the macabre. I think I will have to give in a little this year and let them add a little more Halloween scariness to appease!
Be sure to visit the lovely blog over at Little Miss Heirlooms to see my take on a Halloween party.
How do you like to decorate for the holiday?

Brands In Search Results, Matt Cutts Sheds Some Light
adminMarch 10, 2009Search Engine Optimization
A recent blog post by Aaron Wall at SEOBook suggested that Google made an Algorithm change that puts more importance on "Brands" in Search Results. It created quite a riff in the SEO community and there is an ongoing discussion about it there if you want to check it out and participate.
Matt Cutts of Google responded with this short informative video setting the record straight. I won't steal his thunder but he did admit there was a recent change. He DOES maintain that emphasis is NOT being placed on brands. Their philosophy is to provide the highest quality search results based on things like "Trust", "Authority", "Reputation" and the good ole mysterious "page rank". Is it just me or does it seem like Google can't make up their mind if page rank matters or not? We at Vertical Measures don't see any reason to stop building great links for our clients. Here's the video:

You know what, today SEO might be very tough. What matt cutts says is true. but google will not open their secret.
Network21 Amway Scam Mar 16, 2009
I've heard another well respected SEO expert state that brands do get exceptions, and have direct negotiations with Google staff (These are million dollar deals). Look at some of the big names who dont get penalized for cloaking and duplicate content (i.e. some of the big Media brands). However, they would be some of the most "trusted", so perhaps if youre so trusted you can make a few small mistakes?

Now one mother is telling the story about her daughter's battle with the drug in the hopes of getting the word out about the danger. Anti-heroin activist P.J. Newberg started a website (NorthShoreSecretHeroinProblem.com) because her 18-year-old daughter is addicted.
Newberg's daughter Paula Nixon has been in and out of treatment and jail since first experimenting with heroin two years ago.
John Gutenson sees addicts like Nixon every day. He helps run the largest needle exchange program in the area. A recovering addict himself, he also trains people to administer this drug Naxolone which can prevent overdose fatalities. He says the draw to heroin is powerful.
Newberg has been speaking out for less than a year, even as her daughter continues to fight her addiction. She hopes to help save other parents from her experience.
She is not the only one speaking out. Stephanie Kuhns, 24, is telling her story to warn parents and others the danger of heroin in the suburbs is real.
Kuhns says heroin has nearly destroyed her life. It killed her brother and several her friends.
"I started using when I was 14," she said. "This little bag of powder destroyed my life."

Rebecca Black Is Receiving Death Threats
Some people really, really hate "Friday."
Anaheim police are investigating two separate death threats made to "Friday" singer Rebecca Black — one made by phone, another by e-mail. "In essence the threats were related to getting the music off the Internet or they were going to kill her," said Anaheim spokesperson Rick Martinez. "We can't validate how serious they are, but we do take it seriously," he said. "We're going to investigate and determine, number one, the source of the comments and then based on the investigation determine what intent was and where we go from here." [Reuters]

BOSTON — With one eye on Bela Karolyi and the other on their apparatus of the moment, the best women gymnasts in the country went about the business of the U.S. Olympic trials Friday night, trying as hard to win his approval as they did to nail their routines.
"Man, if he doesn't like it, you're off the team," said Vanessa Atler, currently in sixth place after preliminaries.
"If Bela likes me that's good, because then you can mess up and still be OK."
It has become the compelling theme of the last several months. Despite the scores from Thursday's prelims and Sunday's finals, the six-member Olympic team will be at the discretion of the selection committee headed by Karolyi, the national team coordinator.

The HTML 4.01 standard is formally defined
as three SGML Document Type Definitions (DTDs): the
Strict DTD, the Transitional DTD, and the
Frameset DTD. The Strict DTD defines only those elements that are not
deprecated in the 4.0 standard.
Ideally, everyone would create HTML documents that conform to the
Strict DTD. The Transitional DTD includes all those deprecated
elements and more accurately reflects the HTML in use today, with
many older elements still in common use. The Frameset DTD is
identical to the Transitional DTD, with the exception that the
<body> is replaced by the
<frameset> tag.
Since the Transitional DTD provides the broadest coverage of all HTML elements currently in use, it is the DTD upon which this book is based and the one we reproduce here. Note that we have reprinted this DTD verbatim and have not attempted to add extensions to it. Where our description and the DTD deviate, assume the DTD is correct.

Critic Reviews for Surviving the Game
All Critics (15) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (11) | DVD (2)
A film that shines mostly for the interesting performances by the cast of character actors.
A guilty pleasure made memorable by a lot of good actors hamming it up as villains.
This thoroughly absurd action flick that thinks it has some sort of social conscience, badly needs a what-the-heck-were-they-thinking smack upside the head to humble it.
Did someone say guilty pleasure?
Not a bad twist on "The Most Dangerous Game," but a lot more could have been done with it.
Cheesy take-off of "The Most Dangerous Game," although it's got a lot of low-rent b-movie energy.
Audience Reviews for Surviving the Game
Good film, but still a poor man's Hard Target.
Super Reviewer
Cole: You know why we're gonna find you Mason? Cause I can smell your stinkin' ass from here. A hilariously bad action flick that stars Ice-T as a bum, selected to participate in a man hunt on a secluded island. The story is a loose adaptation of The Most Dangerous Game and has both Rutger Hauer and Gary Busey competing for craziest actor of the year and F. Murray Abraham far away from getting his Oscar for murdering Mozart. Jack Mason: ALWAYS check the barrel.
Super Reviewer
An interesting premise, very average movie.

CHICAGO — Twice in this century much American blood was spilled in order to liberate France from foreign invaders and occupiers. I am proud to have been among the first American troops to enter Paris in World War II and ultimately help to chase the Nazi invaders out of France.
By refusing to let our planes fly over France, which was done in order to punish terrorism, the French government is directly responsible for the missing two American pilots. The French government hasn`t paid to this date what was loaned it in World War I and this is just another chapter of ``French gratitude.``

The first link provided is an article about a MIT physicists who has recently provided the mathematics, or formula, to describe how possibly life began in general. The second link is to a previous post of mine related to The Constructal Law – a new law of physics describing the structure in nature.
Both of these concepts stem from the thermodynamic laws. As I recall from chemistry class, the first law of thermodynamics states that energy goes to a lower state of enthalpy. (Meaning, that energy tends to be released) The second law of thermodynamics state that matter goes to a state of higher entropy, or randomness. For there to be orderly reactions, energy has to be put into the system. So for example, a plant takes energy from the sun to construct sugars for nutrients with the help of water, and according to the article, plants emit infrared radiation. There is always a spread of energy, as is described by the laws of thermodynamics. What the constructal law accomplished was an overall framework on how the structure of our universe operates. Put simply, the universe consists of various flow systems (including energy itself), and these systems will create structure to further facilitate its flow. So a river delta is formed simply because more water can be moved with the least amount of energy. Urban spread follows the constructal law. Large volume segways are then met with smaller thoroughfares, which in turn get smaller. It is exactly how nature herself operates. Look at the circulatory system. Huge arteries by the heart transfer blood to smaller veins which transports the blood to the designated site. These are termed volume to point, or point to volume flow systems. Neurons share the structure of lightning, while trees show the same structure as the respiratory system. Structure is maintained by being more efficient in transferring whatever the system is transferring (flow systems). This is why the inanimate looks the same throughout our universe.
Where these two law and theory come together, is the explanation of life. In fact, I think the MIT physicists must of known of the constructual law. The premise of his theory was predicted by the authors of the book I read, however the mathematics haven't been derived. Now it has been. Of course, there is going to be scrutiny among the scientific community as it should, but I think this idea coincides with what is found in the constructal law.
Using the laws of thermodynamics, the physicist thought up of a very viable system. Carbon atoms in a pool of something, something that carbon could radiate its heat off to. Finally, this system is being bombarded with energy by the sun. Through his mathematics, he is able to deduce that eventually the structure of the system would change by following the laws of thermodynamics. The system will gravitate towards needing to expel more energy. Why? Because if we were to take this system as a flow system, the structure of the system will change to further facilitate its flow, or in this case, energy. This is crucial. Because if light is shined on the surface of the Earth for billions of years, eventually structures would evolve and eventually primitive life could form. And, when there is primitive life and eventually RNA and DNA, Darwinian concepts take hold. But life itself is a further facilitate of energy. More energy can be transferred per unit of energy used. This is the true driving force of evolution. Mutations that work exist because they can transfer energy more efficiently. And each layer of organisms can be used as a source of energy for others.
I honestly think if the mathematics of this all checks out, it could be a candidate for the Nobel Prize. Of course they are already coming up with ideas to test his theory in the lab, which is crucial in the whole scientific process. However, it must be noted, that computer models show his mathematics at work. So I think that will boost his idea in the various labs across the world to try to verify or disprove his idea. To think that the inanimate is the very creator of life is very chilling. To see it work from the very beginning, the big bang, the formation of stars and planets, and those stars if under the right conditions create "life" or formations that can facilitate further the flow of energy.
Wouldn't it be perfect? Wouldn't it be perfect to create a system that is literally self-evolving and self-sustaining, that has no need to be tampered with? The imperfections are weeded out, and are necessary in order to make the system itself sustainable. So for example, if there was no friction, there wouldn't be sustainable movement of various things. Interest rates are necessary to constrict the flow of money, otherwise there would be hyperinflation. If energy would be purely transferred, there would be no energy absorbed, which would not allow for orderly reactions, therefore actually restricting the amount of energy that could be transferred. The imperfections are necessary in order to keep the system sustainable. This strengthens my belief in a God. But I believe God created this system that we call The Universe and let itself create its destiny. His gift is life itself, it is ours to do what we will.

A new exciting opportunity has risen to exhibit at The Sugar Cane Coffee Lounge, Ashgrove. I've got live music, champers, canapes and of course all my intricate, paper artwork will be on display on my opening night which is Saturday 19th November. To book please get in touch, $25 a ticket.
From small beginnings!
Most people around my children's school know me or know of me, some of them know that I'm a creative type, with only a few who really know what I get up to in my few, precious moments of spare time. So when the opportunity of the school art show came up, I thought I would exhibit the pieces that I did a few years ago to show my creativity.
It's quite a nerve wracking experience, it is like showing your soul but you know let people in and they can surprise and lovely things can happen.
I had many sales from the exhibition which made my heart jump for joy including this lovely stained-glass inspired piece using ripped paper and another exhibition is now in the pipeline.
As well as exhibiting at the art show, my lovely friend and I were in charge of decorating the hall in a rainbow of paper star garlands. It was an art installation in itself!! The end result was amazing and it was a shame to take it down when the show was all over but it wouldn't have survived the boy's indoor soccer!
Well until next time.
There's a hole in my jeans!!!
Its the first day of winter here in Queensland, the mornings have started to have a bit more of a nip to them so the other day, I found my good, old jeans from the back of the wardrobe. I do love Queensland winters, there is normally only a few days that I'm feeling quite unhappy with the weather, the rest of the time I can wear my winter warm things comfortably without feeling as though I'm going to freeze. As you may be able to tell I love the heat of Summer rather than the temperatures of winter. Living in the UK, I was always wrapped up even in the Summer months.
Anyway, getting back on track. My jeans!! I had forgotten that when I put them away at the end of last winter, holes were starting to appear in some embarrassing places. The first time I put them on, I tried to get away with the gaping holes but I did get a comment. Therefore I decided that something needed to be done but what! I didn't just want to sew on a patch and be done with it. I needed to inject some of my style into it!
Here is the result!! Total Wardrobe Care loved the result on Instagram and I was thrilled to be asked by them to do a guest blog post on my jeans repair. To read the blog post about my inspiration for the first pair of jeans and how to make the little Suffolk puffs, check outhttp://www.totalwardrobecare.co.uk/blog/
My jeans have now been washed a few times and they have stood up to the rigours of a washing machine, I felt confident about tackling the next pair of jeans.
This pair had even more holes!!
I used teals, olives, turquoise and eau-de-nil with sparkling beads and sequins. First I repaired the hole with cotton to bring the fabric together and then for the re-enforcement, I used Suffolk puffs / yo-yos. I started using the antique gold beads but soon decided that they were going to be too big and it would make sitting down a bit uncomfortable. The colour scheme will go beautifully with a new cardigan I bought from Next when I was in the UK last Autumn.
I have finished the back tear, just under the pocket. I have added some lazy daisy embroidery stitches so now the Suffolk puffs look like flowers and the stitching looks like leaves.
Just have to keep going until all the beads and sequins are on, it's a working progress but what do you think?!!
Until next time.
Christmas is coming!!
I've expanded my Christmas range of bunting and gift tags. Please check out my shop at http://www.etsy.com/au/shop/LilibetStanley
I hope you enjoy getting ready for the big day!! Gift wrapping is one of my favourite ways to prepare!!
Until next time.
Party Paper Paraphernalia
I've been having fun making new lines for my Etsy shop. It's good to get back into the swing of making things again!
Flower Cake Toppers in any colour! If you have got a colour scheme in mind, please let me know and I will be happy to help.
Bunting cake toppers in pink, apricot and gold.
Little Cottage Bunting was very cute to make and would look great in a girls bedroom or used as gift wrapping. It's now looking for an owner. If you are interested, please take a look in my link to my Etsy shop.
Hopefully it won't be so long before my next post.
Chickens love flowers!!
Sorry I've been absent for a while due to some changes in my work life. I wanted to show you what I have been up-to recently and what I have just put on my Etsy shop. This is my latest embroidery of some cheeky chickens eating flowers in a garden.
I love the combination of colours of duck-egg blue with cream and sand. It reminds me of the various shades of eggs available. The greeny eggs come from a friend and I have blown them so I can keep them for decorative purposes.
I have used suffolk puffs with french knots and satin-stitch.
I have used a variety of fabrics including silk for my embroidery. The artwork would add a country-living feel to any house. Please visit my shop to check out the new embroidery and all my other products.
Lilibet_Velvet @Spoonflower
I was very excited to receive my first parcel of my printed fabric designs in the post from Spoonflower.com. I have set my designs so Spoonflower customers can buy my new range. It can be printed onto different types of fabric, wallpaper and gift wrap. You can buy my fabric designs at http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/lilibet_velvet
Spoonflower.com is so easy to use!
You upload your design,choose your colours from their colour chart, choose your fabric and then simply wait for the designs to arrive. It does take some time to arrive from America to Australia but I loved the thrill of opening the beautiful parcel when it arrived!
I'm going to be making something out of my fabric, I will show you when it's all finished. I can't wait to get more of my designs printed.
Thank you Spoonflower!
Until next time,

If you fly with Delta, you'll be happy to know that the Fly Delta for BlackBerry 10 app is now available. The app touched down in BlackBerry World on March 18th and I put it to use the very next day, making the trip from YWG to LGA with a short layover in MSP.
The app delivered immediate benefit to me as well. After deboarding the plane and walking into the terminal in MSP, the monitor by the gate did not list the gate number I had to be at to catch my next flight. I whipped my BlackBerry Z10 and fired up the app, and sure enough, the Fly Delta app had the gate number I was looking for - in this case gate D4, and the flight was on time. Panic avoided!
Beyond checking flight status, the Fly Delta app offers a number of features:
- Find, compare and book flights
- Check in for domestic flights and have your eBoarding Pass delivered via text message
- Pay for checked bags
- View the latest flight status and flight schedules
- Access Delta contact numbers and @DeltaAssist Twitter support
Overall it's a smooth running app, and if you own a Z10 and fly with Delta, it's an app you're going to want to have installed and put to use. Be sure to check out the video below for a closer look at it from CrackBerry's James Richardson.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Russia is setting up a military base in northwestern Syria in an agreement with the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia that controls the area and will be training YPG fighters as part of the fight against terrorism, the militia's spokesman said on Monday.
YPG spokesman Redur Xelil told Reuters the agreement with Russia was concluded on Sunday, and that Russian troops had already arrived at the position in the northwestern province of Afrin with troop carriers and armored vehicles.
"The Russian presence ... comes in agreement between (the YPG) and the Russian forces operating in Syria in the framework of cooperation against terrorism and to help train our forces on modern warfare and to build a direct point of contact with Russian forces," Xelil said in a written statement.

Making decorative balls to adorn your coffee table is a surprisingly versatile craft, adapting itself to decor from sophisticated to whimsical, and offering inexpensive ornamentation for occasions from elegant coffee gatherings to little girls' tea parties. Use polystyrene balls as a base to be covered with all manner of embellishments and notions. Make the project your own by varying the size, quantity and arrangement of the decorative balls. Choose styles to match the season, a holiday or to complement the existing decor of the room.
Cover your work surface with sheets of old newspaper. Paint the polystyrene balls using acrylic paint and a paintbrush, if you wish. Wait for the paint to dry.
Cover the entire surface of a polystyrene ball with flat-headed pushpins. Overlap the pins slightly and press them firmly into the ball to conceal the polystyrene. Use bronze, silver or multicolored pushpins, or for a custom color, spray paint the pushpins beforehand.
Twist the end of a length of yarn, string or twine into a flat spiral of about three or four concentric circles. Apply glue generously over the surface of the spiral using a low-temperature glue gun, then immediately press and smooth the spiral onto a polystyrene ball. Continue the spiral, applying lines of glue around the ball and wrapping the yarn, string or twine around it until you have covered the whole ball.
Coat a polystyrene ball with a thick layer of white glue and roll it around in a pile of glitter, confetti, lentils, seed beads or tiny aquarium gravel until the whole surface of the ball is covered. Stick with just one or two colors for a more subdued look, or combine many colors for a brighter effect. After the glue has dried, coat the surface with another thick layer of white glue or spray sealant.
Affix coffee beans, black-eyed peas, hard candies, buttons or mini pompoms all over the surface of a polystyrene ball using a low-temperature glue gun. Consider red, white and blue jelly beans for Independence Day decorations, heart-shaped candies for Valentine's Day, or red-and-white swirled peppermints for holiday decor.
Cover polystyrene balls with white glue and affix strips of newspaper or magazine pages, patterned gift wrap or shapes of colored paper all over the surface. You can also print scaled-down photographs or artwork onto regular printer paper, cut the images out and fasten them to the balls. When the glue has dried, seal the paper with spray sealant or an additional layer of white glue.
Cut the stems of artificial flowers down to about 1/2 inch in length using scissors. Poke the stems into a polystyrene ball, arranging the flowers closely together until the whole surface is covered. For more security, dab a little white glue or hot glue onto the stems before poking them into the ball. The method works with a single type of flower or many, silk or paper flowers, and large or small blooms.
Things You Will Need
- Polystyrene balls
- Old newspaper
- Acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Low-temperature glue gun
- White glue
- Spray sealant
- Scissors
- Flat-headed pushpins
- Yarn, string or twine
- Glitter, confetti, seed beads, lentils, aquarium gravel
- Dried beans and peas, hard candies, buttons, mini pompoms
- Paper strips, printed or photocopied photos or art
- Artificial flowers
- To make painting a polystyrene ball easier, poke a toothpick or skewer into the ball to act as a handle. Alternatively, prop the ball on a cup and paint the upper half. When the paint is dry, rotate the ball and paint the other half.
- An alternative method for covering a polystyrene ball with glitter, confetti or similar items is to drop a glue-covered ball into a plastic bag containing the covering material; shake the ball around until it's coated.
- Arrange finished decorative balls in a straight line along a runner placed across the coffee table, or gather multiple balls in a glass bowl or shallow dish in the middle of the table.
- Don't use a high-temperature glue gun, spray paint or other solvent-based paint on polystyrene balls. These products can melt or otherwise damage the foam, compromising its spherical shape.

A software development effort is essentially a "translation" of a business need into a software solution.

If there's anything an NB loves more than a great date, I know not what it is. There are plenty of elements that add to the potion of love, and many of those mix well with un-mixed company on a hot summer night. This NB is going to try the following this coming weekend, going out with the love of one's life should not be taken lightly!
Invite your date. Whether she's been with you for years, or without you for a lifetime, the small matter of this formality is not to be overlooked–treat it formally and have some fun:
A formal invitation, mailed to her home (whether you share it or not) is a spectacular effort that will either enchant her completely, or freak her the frick out. Gauge your audience accordingly.
B. A custom digital image, emailed to her at work, should brighten her day (please be prepared–she'll be inclined to forward it on, whether she's enchanted or disturbed, again, proceed with caution. If you're sure she digs you, go for it!)
C. A personal invitation, from your lips to her ears, is never a wrong move. It says you're bold, confident, and genuinely interested. Rather than a "Let's get together sometime, can I have your number." Try, "Hey, my favorite coffee shop is right around the corner. Wanna meet me there next Friday at 8?" **I think the key with all of these is knowing the invitation is welcome. If she already likes you, any simple grunt should do the trick–but remember, if it works out, this is a story you'll tell for a long time to come.
D. Finally, if it's a long-shot, use technology as your friend text, IM, skype, or gchat your way to a date. If she doesn't know you have her digits, try "Would it be weird if (your NB name here) asked you out?" No response is a cool "No." remember that, and you should be safe.
Good luck!

Since 1945, the price of gold has fluctuated between 35 and 1,746 USD, representing a net change of 3,800 percent. The forces of demand and supply have influenced most of these price changes.Continue Reading
Although traders have used gold as a form of currency throughout history, economic regions did not peg a universal value to gold until the late 19th century. In the early 1900s, companies that traded in gold fixed a standard price by holding daily meetings. After the Second World War, European countries placed the value of a troy ounce of gold at 35 USD. The value of an ounce of gold rose to 37 USD in 1970. In subsequent years, the dollar value of gold increased steadily and reached an all-time high of 1,746 USD in 2012.
Between 1980 and 2000, the price of an ounce of gold averaged 300 USD. Since 2000, the price of gold changed dramatically due to the increasing forces of demand and supply. Particularly, the price of gold has increased due to an increasing demand for the precious metal in the jewelry industry. In recent decades, the use of gold as a hedge against economic stress has also increased the price of the metal.Learn more about Currency & Conversions

I was told I'd be crazy to do this deal, but I wanted to really give smokers a chance to try a top of the line starter kit.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 31, 2012
Automatic Cigarettes is offering its best deal ever on electronic cigarette starter kits. All starter kits offered on the company's website can be purchased at ½ price during a 2 day sale beginning July 31st. Just enter the code "50off" when checking out at the company's website. Both the Standard Starter Kit and the Deluxe Starter Kit are included in this amazing offer. The coupon code can be redeemed at checkout for half off of either of the company's two starter kits.
The Standard Kit is a portable charger, battery, and six cartridges. This is comparable to 9 packs of cigarettes. The equivalent to almost a carton of cigarettes can be purchased for only $15! To take advantage of this offer, one just has to go to the electronic cigarette company's website and enter the code "50off" for the next two days.
The Deluxe Kit does not come with the portable charging case, but the kit does include two batteries. The advantage of the Deluxe Kit is that it has two batteries. The kit comes with a gift box, wall charger, usb charger, 2 batteries and five cartridges. While this kit is normally $50, by entering the coupon code, the kit only costs $25.
"This is $25 off. I was told I'd be crazy to do this deal, but I wanted to really give smokers a chance to try a top of the line starter kit," said Brent Duke, President of Automatic Cigarettes. Our electronic cigarettes are some of the best in the industry and we are giving customers two days to purchase kits at the cheapest prices ever. With a deal like this the quantity is obviously limited, however. This is a ¼ the price of what our competitors are charging for the exact same thing."
About Automatic Cigarettes

Poverty and Justice /
Since 1990, more than 1 billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty. In 1990, nearly half of the population in the developing regions lived on less than $1.25 a day.
Remarkable progress has been made but there is still more work to be done to lift the remaining 800 million people worldwide out of extreme poverty.
Agreed to by all the world's countries and all the world's leading development institutions, the MDGs form a blueprint for helping the world's poorest by 2015.
Sadly Australia has failed to meet its MDG targets and groups like ACL and others are working to encourage the Australian Government to recommit to meeting our MDG targets.

George A. Sisson Sr., a leading ear, nose and throat doctor who fought for respect for his specialty, was a skilled surgeon who in the early 1980s performed a procedure on the actor Yul Brynner's vocal cords, his family said.
The next day, Brynner was back on a Chicago stage singing the lead role in "The King and I."
Dr. Sisson, 86, died in his Oak Brook home Sunday, Aug. 6, after a long illness that began with the first of several strokes in 1996, his daughter Kathryn DuChene said.

In past years, IUCN Red List Training has relied on a small number of people to facilitate Red List Training workshops. Often requests for training workshops have had to be turned down because of a lack of available trainers. Without reliable training, the process of preparing high-quality assessments is made difficult as Assessors have no structured guidance to help them fully understand the rules and requirements for IUCN Red List assessments.
To address this issue, IUCN has developed a Red List Trainer certificate course aimed at people with good Red List experience who would like to become IUCN Red List Trainers. Expanding the global network of Red List Trainers has many practical advantages, including:
Increasing the number of Red List Training workshops that can be held around the world.
Broadening the range of trainers with diverse language skills and first-hand knowledge of local biodiversity and conditions.
Widening the range of non-English language translations of IUCN Red List documents and training materials.
The IUCN Red List Trainer course is taught through a 3-day workshop designed to provide motivated Red List Assessors, Red List Authority Coordinators, and global and regional assessment project staff the skills to teach the IUCN Red List Assessor Training course. The workshop emphasizes developing facilitation skills, provides advice on training techniques and organizing training workshops (specifically referring to the IUCN Red List Training workshop format), and gives guidance on answering the range of questions that commonly arise when training new Red List Assessors. After successfully completing the Red List Trainer course, new trainers will benefit from:
An IUCN Red List Trainer certificate proving their aptitude for providing Red List Training.
Provision of presentations and materials needed to facilitate IUCN Red List Assessor Training workshops
Updates on opportunities to facilitate IUCN Red List Assessor Training workshops
Regular contact with other Red List Trainers to share training experiences
Direct access to new and updated training materials as these become available
The next IUCN Red List Trainer workshop will be held in Arizona State University, Arizona, USA on 13-15 October, 2017. This workshop is now fully subscribed. Details of future workshops will be posted on this page as these become available.
The IUCN Red List Trainer workshop is available to experienced Red List Assessors and Red List assessment project managers. To find out more about becoming an IUCN Red List Trainer, please contact the IUCN Red List Unit.

And then there are the Christmas preparations....
I don't celebrate Christmas, but I do love a Mid-Winter Festival! Time to eat, stay snug and look forward to the days getting longer.
So the shops in Orkney are getting dressed for the season. Above is Shearer's in Kirkwall. One of my most favourite shops. Upstairs where in Spring and Summer seed crops are stored and sold, is now a cosy space to do some seasonal shopping. The fire is lit, lots of goodies to buy and around are reminders of days long past, with oil lamps hanging from the rafters, and old tins reminding us of simpler days - Oxo - about the only way you could make gravy then!
And then there are the Christmas exhibitions. The Pier Arts Centre in Stromness is one of my favourites, lots of artists, both professional and "amateur" submit work for the exhibition. Lots of lovely things in different media. Some conventional others more avant garde.
And I loved this display made by a recently graduated art student. I can't remember her name! I know it's Rachel though! [Note - apparently it's Rachel Blair] I was telling her I loved this and she was explaining so enthusiastically her ideas behind it and the techniques used. I'm not artist but I loved hearing her story, and hope her enthusiasm is encouraged for the future.
6 comments:
I love the traditional shops at this time of year with their beautiful seasonal décor. Looks like a great art exhibition.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm not a fan of Christmas, but at least in Orkney we are protected from the worse excesses of commercialism etc! And I love the way the individual shops decorate their windows etc.Delete
I think the artist is Rachel Blair. Lovely Blog.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's it! Rachel Blair. I'll amend my post. I was really inspired by her. Such enthusiasm. Just wish I had the money (and somewhere to put it!).Delete
It all looks so festive. Love the art stuff too.ReplyDeleteReplies
I love Orkney at this time of year with various exhibitions and festivities. Even though I don't like Christmas itself!Delete

No, It's actually north shore. 5 min away from where I live I saw 10 or more people sufring on Thanksgiving day. Since then, I have't seen anybody. I should ask people what day but I didn't. I know there are people who surf here.

I live in Salem and surf Swampscott, Marblehead, and Nahant when there are waves. Best to check surfsites to track the weather to see when there may be waves. Brickhouse surf shop in Marblehead has a daily surf report you can call as well
