While tennis and soccer have their District 6AAA standings and brackets set and ready to go, baseball and soccer are not quite as fortunate.
Mother Nature has forced postponement of games and, in the process, postponed the finalization of the standings and with that, delayed the final brackets being released.
As of press time on Wednesday, both the WCHS softball and baseball teams were going to try to complete their regular season slate with district games that figure largely into the final standings and the tournament seedlings.

Last Thursday's district finale against Cookeville turned out to also be the regular season finale for the White County High School soccer team.
Mother Nature, who reared her head over the beginning of this week, forced cancellation of the soccer game at DeKalb County on Tuesday. That leaves the Warriors at 5-7-1 overall.
Soccer had the advantage over some of the other team sports as far as completing the regular … Read More

MapMemo 2.02 Features (8/2005)
- If you double-click on a Text-Memo and your Info-Window is closed, it will now open so you can see and read the according text. This was important for users which came new to the application: they often didn't understand what a Text Memo was, because they couldn't see anything happening.
MapMemo 2.01 Features (6/2005)
- Archives now work properly on other computers. (see issues Version 2.0)
- English Tutorial file included in the installer image works properly.
Tiger (Mac OS 10.4): MapMemo is now Tiger-compatible.

The Archive function duplicates the Map and all the linked files, re-links all of them and compresses a zip file of the whole construction. Whenever it gets unpacked on another computer it is again a fully functional MapMemo file.
WebMemo: You can now drag your web-links directly from your browser on the Map in order to link them to a place. MapMemo now links directly to the web and not only to your own hard-drives.
TextMemo: This type of Memo has no link to any other file but will only help you to add basic notes to a specific place on your Map without having to create an extra text-file in an external application.
Re-link Memos: You can now change the link of a Memo to a file or a web-address by relinking them to a new target.

The Dude From Owl City Is Attempting to Bed Taylor Swift via Song
"'Speak Now' was the indisputable leader of my top 5 record list of 2010, which is slightly ironic because the other four albums were abstract experimental/post-rock/ambient works."
As you might have previously been aware, the Speak Now track "Enchanted" is supposedly about a one-off encounter Taylor Swift had with Adam Young, a.k.a. Postal Service–y cheesy pop act Owl City. Well, yesterday, for Valentine's Day, Young finally got around to responding: He remade "Enchanted" in his very special bleep-bloop way, adding a hefty dollop of secondhand-embarrassment-causing overly explicit lyrics ("Taylor, it was enchanting to meet you," "I love you" even though we don't really know each other at all, etc). There's also an accompanying note, addressed directly to Taylor:
One blustery evening last October, I waited impatiently until the clock tolled midnight and then promptly bought Taylor Swift's new record on iTunes. I played it in the kitchen, I played it in the car, I played it at the studio, I played it on flights to Japan and back; I just couldn't keep away from it. Speak Now was the indisputable leader of my "top 5″ record list of 2010, which is slightly ironic because the other four albums were abstract experimental/post-rock/ambient works. (Ed note: stop it) ...
["Enchanted"] is absolutely gorgeous and I'm so tremendously honored that Taylor would write such an elegant song and thereby offer a gracious nod in my direction. Needless to say, I was lost for words and utterly smitten. I couldn't stop smiling.
I figured such an eloquent gesture should be reciprocated by the most polite, heartfelt and respectful response I could possibly muster. It's no secret that I'm a bit shy, so naturally music was the most articulate way of attempting such a sincere endeavor. How does one respond to such a personal outpouring of emotion and sentiment? I tossed and turned over that one.
They say "timing is everything" and that brings us to now. Today is Valentine's Day.
Oh, man, is this a bum-out. Look, it's all good for Taylor Swift to write songs bashing famous dudes. That's hilarious. But this kind of thing — earnest musicians flirting openly, unironically, via song — we cannot sign off on. Taylor, we beseech you: Turn down this guy's solicitations. The precedent you'd be setting would be dangerous.
On the plus side, big win for Chris Willman, who was the first to guess correctly, off a message hidden in the lyrics reading ADAM, that "Enchanted" was about Young. (Vulture guessed former Gonzaga Bulldog sharpshooter Adam Morrison.)

Jessica and Jesse have decided to go for a cool wedding in December, and were looking for a photographer to preserve the beautiful memories of their big day. This couple came to visit us at our Kendall studio back in January. They found us by the recommendation of Nicole of Nicole Joy Events. Nicole is great friend and no doubt one the top wedding planners in South Florida. A huge shout out to her for bringing this lovely couple into our lives. It is always a joy to work with her. It was such a fun time chatting at the studio and we felt the instant connection. We are overjoyed that they are inviting us to be a part of the wonderful journey they are about to embark on.
Living in Miami Jessica and Jesse's fondness for boats led to the selection of this location. This venue holds a strong sentimental value for the couple. They frequently enjoy boat trips with family and friends to the beautiful sandbars around the Keys and beyond.
Jessica and Jesse are one of the most exciting couples we have worked with. The day of the session, we met the adventurous souls at Jesse's family home in Key Largo before we got on the boat and headed out to sea. Complementing each other, the blue sky and the vast ocean gave us a perfect background to work with. The couple had a brilliant time and they didn't shy away from telling us their ideas for the shoot as well as giving us creative freedom. The collaboration made it even more enjoyable for everyone present there that day. We love the way their personalities shine bright in each photo we clicked.
The Keys boasts some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. This is why Jessica and Jessie chose to end their session at one of their favorite rendezvous, Snook's Bayside Restaurant and Grand Tiki. This ocean-side restaurant offered front row seats. So as the sun set on their soon-to-be new beginning in Key Largo, the gorgeous sky painted the perfect picture for an unforgettable end to a beautiful. The horizon provided just the right lighting, adding to the enchanting glow that was already present on their beautiful faces.
We are so pumped to shoot their wedding later this year! If this session was any indicator of the fun we will have, than we know it's going to be a blast. We hope you enjoy their photos!

|The GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado can haul a 12,000-lb, 38-foot-long horse trailer up an eight-percent grade at 100 km/h. Photo: Howard Elmer
It's no news that General Motors (GM) has had a rough couple of years. The automaker's troubles during the global financial crisis have made front-page news around the world.
How has all this affected GM's fleet business? After all, the division is a substantial part of the overall business; any vehicle the automaker builds can be purchased as a business car.
Post-bankruptcy, post-recession, GM has some interesting fleet options available, as showcased at a 2011 model year preview event earlier this summer.
For 2011, all the familiar GM nameplates are joined by several new offerings, including the small Chevrolet Cruze, the electric Chevrolet Volt, the resurrected Buick Regal and the two-door Cadillac CTS Coupe.
Some of these may very well be of interest, depending on your business, but in my view the really important fleet news comes from heavy-duty truck department this year.
GM has released an all-new (redesigned from the inside out) 2500 and 3500-series truck under the twin Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra banners.
When I say these trucks are new from the inside out, I mean the company has spent most of its development dollars on the powertrain and chassis, and comparatively little on the interior and the shape of the tin. But capacity is where GM has recently fallen off, and its designers knew it. This effort at least puts them back in competition with Ford, if not so much with Dodge.
During my first drive of these 2011 models I drove a 3500-series Chevrolet that can carry 6,635lb and a 2500-series truck that can haul 4,192 lb. These numbers have increased significantly thanks to a whole new chassis. Also the upgraded 6.6-litre Duramax V8 diesel engine is now rated at 397hp and a stunning 765 pound-feet of torque—more than the new Ford and significantly more than the Dodge Ram.
And what will this heavy chassis pull with all that power? Well, the claim is 17,000lb of conventional towing (up from 13,000lb on the 2010 model) and 21,700lb of fifth-wheel towing (up from 16,500lb on the 2010). These capacities are slightly higher than those of Ford and are pulling well away from those of Ram. In all of the above areas, GM claims to currently have the best-in-class power, towing and payload.

An article in the latest issue of Ragan's Grapevine discusses how junior staffers could be prepared to handle sophisticated media relations.
The article argues that although maturity is required for the task, this does not necessarily mean age. It could mean personality, gumption and natural talent.
Jon Lieb, managing director of New York-based Thirty Ink Media & Marketing, is quoted as saying: "I think you have to hire junior staffers who have the right personality make-up and proactive aggressiveness. You can't teach it. Either you have it, or you don't. It doesn't matter if the person is 24 or 34." This coming from a man whose company consists of himself and two junior staffers he hired right out of college.
The article also quotes Ali Randall of Metzger Associates in Boulder, Colorado: "A level of maturity is required, but it has little to do with years or experience. Some people just shouldn't be on the phone because they don't have the maturity and presence to pitch the media, or interact with clients. However, some people show us that they have that ability from Day One."
Once the right junior staffers are hired, however, the article points out that proper training and practice is still required.
Amanda Frederickson, founder of PR Amanda in Chicago, is quoted saying: ""I think it is important to recognize a major problem in many agencies today. To ensure a greater profit volume, agencies are sourcing out the majority of media relations and account services to junior staff, and are assuring clients the same level of results that would be attained using more seasoned employees. This is a problem, as many junior staffers are simply not receiving the training they need to pitch media properly. And I completely understand the frustration from the reporter's point of view. They want to obtain as much information in the shortest amount of time possible, and ill-prepared junior staffers are often unable to handle the situation properly."
The article cites Emily DeLizza of Robin Leedy & Associates Inc. of Mount Kisco, New York recommending that junior staffers be given a short introductory media relations or professionalism course, and to teach them to have "the highest ethical standards and professionalism" which she often finds lacking.
She is further quoted saying: "Hiring a new employee should be viewed as an investment for the company. Time should be taken by the senior level staff to give constructive criticism. As a young professional, I learn from my own experiences just as much as I do from watching others I admire within the company. 'Lead by example' couldn't be more true than it is in public relations."
Neil Vineberg, president of Vineberg Communications in Westhampton, New York is quoted in agreement: ""Not everyone is good at pitching and follow up. A junior staffer needs to pitch to get good at it. We run our staff through a step-by-step primer on how to write a pitch, target media and follow up."
The article cites the more hands-on approach of Gary Baker, communications director of AnswerThink & The Hackett Group: "I work with my agency staff, scheduling weekly training sessions keyed to general topics and specific pitches. They hear how I talk about things, and then we role-play pitches, so I can hear how they do it, and make corrections, suggestions and additions. We usually do it as a group-kind of a pop quiz approach… No, it isn't easy to put junior staff on the spot, but it's better to start them off well prepared and give them the opportunity to do their first few pitches on me. [Equip them] with training wheels, so to speak."
Indeed, good communication should start in the coaching and mentoring process within the organization itself.

1. Table cover roll (plastic, $9.99/100ft roll, obviously enough for plenty more BBQ picnics!) - this color was perfectly on-sale!
2. Paper streamers ($0.79/roll, excellent deal!) - I appropriately picked out red, white and blue for the occasion. You can pick out any color combo for your event. And as you can see, I braided the three colors and used it as the table runner to add color to the tables.
3. Functional centerpieces - I like this because there usually isn't that much space on the table after all the food arrives. So beautifully simple stacks of plastic cups and caddies for plastic utensils/paper napkins. Functional and brilliantly beautiful!
Now you're all set for July 4th as well!

Next installment in my Next saga
Author's note: This article is part of an ongoing blog about my adventures in the world of alternate currencies.
- Very first entry: And it begins…
- Previous entry: Mt Gox really did sneeze
I have to admit to flying a little blind here, as lately I've been too busy to keep up with the Bitcoin Forum, including the Devcoin thread, much less the Next Forum. So while I generally learn that Mt. Gox sneezed after watching the Bitcoin price drop and looking up the news on CoinDesk to find out what in the world happened, I don't find out that the Next network hiccuped until my wallet client plain quits working.
I'd been happily running the most recent version of the Next client, version 5.11 for the past week or two, but not longer than that. The previous version I'd been running had collapsed and I'd asked joefox what I needed to do. After a day of craziness I tried again to install and run 5.11 and it's been working just fine ever since. I even managed to add 4 NXT to my balance by forging two blocks, as well as forge two more empty blocks.
Last night my husband and I went out on a date and I came home to the client indicating negative blocks. Normally I could fix this by simply closing it, then reopening it. This time that did nothing. Remembering a previous email from joefox I decided to check and see if a new version of the client had been released. Sure enough, the page which lists current Next software indicated a different version, 0.7.3, was being used.
Good, I thought. All I have to do is upgrade to the new version and things should work fine. So I turned off my computer (no sense running it all night with no chance to forge anything) and went to bed.
This morning I got rid of the old version and installed the new version. Then I tried to run it. At first it got hung up on an old block and wouldn't budge. So I uninstalled it and re-installed it. This time it appeared to be working but both my client and server are showing me all kinds of things I wouldn't expect to see, including ridiculously high (as in 800,000 or a million) target percentages, a timer that tells me I'll generate the next block within seconds, unconfirmed transactions that do not show up in upcoming blocks (the blocks instead remain empty), lots of debug messages in the C command prompt window. The most interesting irregularity is that my very first forged transaction of two NXT has been replaced with 190 NXT. Sadly, though, the block chain is sticking to the original number.
I'm still running it but am pretty sure it's not working properly. I've emailed joefox and I'll see what he says. I could check the forum if I get too antsy. But I've learned with NXT to just be patient. It's much easier to get my specific questions answered than to try to hunt through the forum for a clear answer.
Joefox has mentioned some Windows based clients that work more like other PC wallets, and I'm thinking it might be time to try one out. Joefox says he really likes a particular one so I checked its web site and notice that in the last few days its developer has released two emergency upgrades, and it looks like another one is on its way.
My growing conclusion is that for the time being, the NXT network is inherently unstable. Wallet client upgrades are fueled by the need to deal with some bug in the system. Once the bug is resolved in the upgrade, users do not have the option to continue using an old version. At some point your wallet will quit working. The funds will still be there, but you won't be able to access them until you upgrade. This means that Next users need to keep up with the Next Forum in order to get the news and be sure to upgrade in time. This also means that Next users are upgrading their wallets on average every couple weeks or more.
All these issues really hinder Next's ability to be widely adopted as a currency. If I'm running a business and I take NXT in payment I am going to have to devote time to simply maintain my ability to accept it. This may not be very convenient if my business is keeping me very busy. One workaround is that I could simply accept payments using my Vircurex address. So far it seems that Vircurex is keeping up with the latest upgrades as they do for all the currencies it supports. Later on when Cryptsy supports it I'll be able to use my Cryptsy address. So there are workarounds. However I don't think it's realistic to expect merchants to jump at the chance to get paid in NXT when they never know when their wallet will quit working. It really should not be a requirement to keep up with a forum or any kind of informational site just to hold or spend the money.
If the Next developers can solve their network stability issues, and if they can develop a software that will continue to work long after an upgrade has been released, then Next has a lot of potential as a currency. Until then having anything to do with it is more of a roller coaster ride journey into high risk speculation than anything else.
On the bright side I have earned and will earn a lot of Devcoins writing about it :)

I started this project to show 18-30-year-olds that traveling can be an extraordinary experience. Traveling makes the individual rely on the world to survive. There's no lifeline to help in a time of need. There's only the open road to look forward to.
I asked willing participants to answer five questions about the way they perceive their country, values they hold and a story that sticks out in their mind. Everyone wants to travel at some point in their lives. Yet, the hardest part is leaving everything behind to pursue the dream.
My goal is to inform potential travelers to get out into the world; experience what this beautiful earth has to offer. Make the most of your young life before normalcy swallows you whole.

McLaren should have Fernando Alonso available for the Bahrain Grand Prix, with Max Mosley thankful for safety advancements in Formula One.
Fernando Alonso has been given the all clear to continue racing for McLaren, after his Australian Grand Prix ended in a horror crash.
Alonso was attempting to overtake the Haas of Esteban Gutierrez on lap 17 when he collected the Mexican's left rear tyre and was sent careering into the wall, his car shredding as it skidded into the gravel trap and barrel rolled twice.
A demolished husk that had previously been Alonso's car was left upside down, but the two-time world champion emerged unscathed - he was later labelled the "luckiest man alive" by Australian media.
With F1 heading to Bahrain in under a fortnight, Alonso remains as keen as ever to get back behind the wheel.
"The team doctor came and gave me the 'ok' to travel and, as I said, I feel good," Alonso told Cadena Cope.
"I do not think I will have any problems going forward.
"My body is a little sore – as though I have been in a giant washing machine– but I have no marks or anything swollen.
"Within two or three days I will be back on the bike or something again."
On the incident itself, Alonso added: "Sometimes you do not have the necessary precision, I saw a wheel jumping in the air and suddenly I was out of control.
"Once I entered the gravel I lost track of my position. I saw gravel, then the sky, then the gravel on top of the car.
"Whenever there is a major accident [the stewards] call us in to see what we can learn and what we would do differently in the future.
"You do not have the exact view as you did [in the cockpit]. On TV, it feels like watching another car, with another driver inside."
Former F1 chief Max Mosley, who led the sport into its safety-conscious modern ways in the aftermath of Ayrton Senna's death, painted a darker picture when quizzed on the impact.
When asked if Alonso would have survived 20 years ago, Mosley told Telegraph Sport: "I don't think he would have.
"You wouldn't know for sure without a detailed analysis but generally speaking those sorts of accidents resulted in serious injury or death. Happily that seems to have stopped now.
"There are still freak accidents, like Jules [Bianchi's], but those sort of serious racing accidents, you do expect the driver to walk away. That wouldn't have been the case 20 years ago."

The Mushrooms
The birds are wondering what went wrong.
All their air and land is gone.
What have thoes blind people done?
My wings fill as though their yielding a ton.
It happend late last night,
My eyes beheld a frightful sight.
The mushrooms they did rise.
and then i heard the peoples cries.
How will I ever get along?
When theres no one around to hear mt song.
I'll sing to life, I'll sing to death.
As I take my one last breath.

Lionel Beauxis return littered with comical inconsistency
Lionel Beauxis made his first start for France since 2012 at the weekend in his side's 32-26 defeat to Scotland in the 6 Nations, and produced a predictably unpredictable performance as only the stand-off could.
The Lyon out-half is a bit of an enigma in France, sometimes blowing hot, other times cold. But one thing is guaranteed with Beauxis, he is an intriguing player.
He settled right back into the #10 jersey he had been out of for so long and provided good direction and stability for a side desperately looking to nail down an out-and-out fly-half for the future.
The second half showed some of the negatives of Beauxis: a careless knock-on in the final quarter of the match from a poor Scotland kick and a silky reverse pass five metres from his own line which left full back Geoffrey Palis under enormous pressure.
Lionel Beauxis returns to his enigmatic best v Scotland
Speaking to L'Equipe post-match, Beauxis admitted to "playing a bit too fast" while the French daily announced "We found a Lionel Beauxis loyal to himself. A bit disconnected from reality" and lamented his "Offloads to no-one and risky volley... putting les bleus under pressure".
While Beauxis' overall performance was far from terrible, the selection of the 32-year-old instead of up-and-coming Toulon player Anthony Belleau puts the spotlight on a larger issue for the French.
France lost at 10
New head coach Jacques Brunel said at the start of the 6 Nations campaign that he wanted to change the way France played, and that the half-backs would be crucial.
He gave a debut to teenager Matthieu Jalibert in the opening round - only for Jalibert to go off injured - and has included Belleau among the replacements for both matches.
These two are arguably the future of France, provided they can remain uninjured. But while the talent has invariably always been there, questions are still raised about the management of the team.
Brunel said Beauxis was picked "due to his impressive kicking game" he has demonstrated with Lyon this season. The question many asked, including L'Equipe was: "If this was the case, why were kicking duties given to scrum-half Maxime Machenaud, and latterly his replacement Baptiste Serin?"
"Mystère!" exclaimed L'Equipe, and it really is.
In his tenure, Guy Novès used seven different combinations at half-back, some due to injury (Camille Lopez), though often only because none of the others seemed to work.
The good news is that Brunel probably has his ideal pair of half-backs now, in Dupont-Belleau and Parra-Jalibert/Lopez. The bad news is that of this quintet, four of them are out of action until further notice.
Once France can get a solid, regular half-back pairing and a 10 who will control and attack with moderation, les bleus can think about a true resurrection.
The good (and bad) of Lionel Beauxis

American TV used to have a show in the early 60s called "Queen for a Day." Its popularity was drawn from its ability to tug at, if not completely unravel, the public's heartstrings. Women would appear on camera and go head-to-head (or tearduct-to-tearduct) with heart-wrenching stories of personal difficulty, and the one who left viewers drenched in the highest possible ophthalmic tsunami would wear the crown and carry off the financial bounty to help solve her considerable woes.
Now we have Squirrel for a Day. At least two news items in the past week have placed people nicknamed "Squirrel" on opposite ends of the popularity spectrum: From Middlesboro, Tennessee comes news of the death of David "Squirrel" Newton Cardwell, a Vietnam vet, proud father, avid golfer and obviously someone who - as his newspaper obituary states - was beloved for his sense of humor. We have no clue as to why he was called "Squirrel" but it is obviously a term bestowed with great affection for a man who will be missed within his circle of family and friends.
At the other end of the bushytail is news of the arrest, reported in Idaho media, of "Earl the Squirrel," a fugitive from Oregon. Unlike the Tennessee "Squirrel," Earl Leslie Wayland Jr. is very much alive and was wanted on felony warrants for what is described as a "one man crime spree" that included burglary and battery. It is doubtful that this "Squirrel" monicker was given by an adoring public, circle of friends or even law-enforcement authorities.
Clearly, squirreldom is in the eyes of the beholder, depending on how you feel about rodentia and the derivatives thereof. I vote tonight for Cardwell's variety of the species, who tugs at my heartstrings, even with the little bit of information his newspaper obituary provided.
A life well lived, which was obviously true in his case, makes us all glad to be squirrels - if only for the day.

This may reflect my bias view of Squirrels but I could never take a criminal with a name like Earl the Squirrel seriously. I mean, imagine he himself would rather be called Earl the Shark or Earl the Pit Bull. Earl the squirrel can't be good for his criminal ego.

Interesting theory, LGS. It's true, someone like "Doug the Slug" or "Sy the Butterfly" might be seen as a less horrific criminal, along the lines of our pal Earl. Maybe there is a future, however, for "Clemente the Rodente."

Thank goodness he is behind bars!!

Apple bosses cut off Tidal's live stream of Drake's appearance at a charity gig in New Orleans, Louisiana on Friday (28Aug15), in yet another twist to the feud between the music streaming sites.
Jay Z's Tidal exclusively streamed Lil Wayne's Lil Weezyana Fest, which included special guests Juvenile, Turk, Mannie Fresh and Master P, reports AllHipHop.com reports.
The concert was a charity fundraising event to benefit children who were affected by the devastating Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but when Drake appeared on stage for his set, the live stream suddenly cut off.
Tidal users, who had signed up to the site to watch the gig, then saw this message on their screens, "Apple is interfering with artistry and will not allow this artist to stream. Sorry for Big Brother's inconvenience. We will be back after performance. (sic)."
Tidal staff also posted the message on their Twitter.com account.
Drake has signed a reported $19 million exclusive deal with Apple, and reports circulated earlier on Friday that Apple had threatened to sue Tidal for $20 million if they streamed Drake's performance.

Interesting presentation last night on the potential for gamification to be used in project management. Development and investment in gamification over recent years has been significant, but what is its potential for improving the success of projects? Using game-theory and game-design techniques to encourage engagement and positive behaviours can have a significant impact – engaged teams can outperform other teams by between 45 and 200%.
Learning in this area is still very new, gamification techniques are by no means universally applicable, but carefully focussed with the right project and organisation culture, it is a tool with significant potential. We continue to learn and develop our understanding in this area and expect to be doing a lot more with it in the near future.

Nice Great skipper communication skills Lack of security jackets for kids. Great day for the family
We really enjoyed our boat trip. Unfortunately the matts for the sun decks were missing. Jessy rents the boats as a professional, he doesn't rent his private boat.
Excellent day out with Jessy.

Albino het white socks pair
Since the fat tail forum section is practically dead, I was hoping to liven things up a bit by showing you guys one of my 2011' breeding pairs.
The male is an Albino 100% het white socks
The female is a Tangerine albino 100% het white socks. She has very nice tangerine coloring, which sadly you won't be able to see very well in my pictures. I have a bad camera.
For those of you that don't know what White socks are, It's a trait that makes the gecko's feet and ankles completely white. It's a pretty cool trait when you see it in person. So i hope to have a bunch of pure white feet babies pretty soon.
The male is around 55grams and the female is 42g. So she still has some more weight to put on before i breed her.

Female (tangerine):

I stopped by the LYS yesterday because I was in the middle of a knitting emergency. I am working on a pair of gloves on commission, and despite the fact that I actually SWATCHED for it, I seem to be in deep gauge doodoo (read: it looks a bit more like a leg warmer than a glove). While I was there on my lunch hour, one of the other employees was wearing a gorgeous sweater. Since I'm moving to frigid environs, I'm seriously on the lookout for good warm sweaters to knit. I immediately started thinking about what kind of yarn I'm going to use and what colors I want.
Which is why I then went home last night and dreamed that the LYS was completely, 100% totally sold-out of Malabrigo and never getting any more. *sigh* It was a nightmare of epic proportions.

Danida has set out to fight corruption in cooperation with partners.
Danida is determined to maintain the highest standards of integrity and work ethics among our staff and across all areas of activity. We therefore maintain a policy of zero tolerance towards corruption in all its forms and react promptly when abuse of Danish funds is suspected or discovered. This policy is maintained in cooperation with our partners.
With this poster the Embassy in Hanoi sends a clear signal to all partners: We do not accept corruption. An anti-corruption code has set standards for all staff.
The anti-corruption efforts have taken a prominent role in the agenda for development cooperation everywhere. Corruption is frequently a serious problem in poorer countries to a degree where it has become an obstacle to development and eradication of poverty.
For many years, Danida has actively supported anti-corruption efforts, primarily through good governance programmes.
In 2003, Danida launched and action plan in order to make anti-corruption efforts an integrated part of our development cooperation.
The overall targets of the action plan are to prevent corruption within Danida's own organisation as well as in programmes and projects, where Danida is involved.
The action plan entails a number of specific activities, including training of our own staff on how to combat corruption. In Vietnam all embassy staff and Danida funded advisors go through this training programme.

I am starting to feel the hunger. I really want to be pregnant! I wanted to wait a few more months before we start TTC, but I can't keep baby off the brain. I think this will be my LAST pre-TTC cycle. I don't feel quite ready per se, but I am anxious. I think I am going to work really hard this month on improving the goals I set on my baby bucket list. If I give it a solid month of A+ effort, then I will feel good about TTC.
Then again, I am the ultimate flip-flopper when it comes major to decisions like this. Don't be surprised if I change my mind once I wake up in the morning :) Although, I did start taking prenatals today. I am excited about that.

- ALL - Dark Day -
Artist : Dark Day
Label : Lust/Unlust Music
trapped / 12"
To introduce this artist (aka Robin Crutchfield), let us tell you its "Window" lp from 1982 is among the all time top ten minimal electronics records for sure and still on many wantlists. This 12" ep is said to be Robins favourite work. Steven Brown from Tuxedomoon does perform as well. Anyway, Dark Day vinyls belong to any collection of minimal electro-wave, so grab it while you can !
Artist : Dark Day
Label : Dark Entries
window / LP
Following the 1st few incarnations and various lineups of Dark Day; 1981 saw the direction of the project morphed into an electronic keyboard duo of Robin Crutchfield and Bill Sack with an album of 9 songs originally released on Plexus Records. Lyrics were inspired by various sources including occult texts by Colin Wilson and art by Leger, Bruegel, Malevich, Man Ray, Duchamp and Jean Cocteau. The mechanized sound of "Window" is less one of the man machine robots in charge of Kraftwerk than man at the mercy of his machines. The infectiously-engaging toy-like instruments captured the ears of fans worldwide with popcorn drum rhythms. A Synare borrowed from Jeff and Jane Hudson lent a "Bette Davis Eyes" homage and crack to the percussion on the percolating tracks. The instant polaroid images, an homage to Japanese recording artist Susan of "The Girl Cant Help It" adorned the album sleeve in 2 stark headshots of musicians at work, haunted by the unseen. Is the window something you look out, or in? You must answer that question.. 3rd repress edition release!
Artist : Dark Day
Label : Dark Entries
exterminating angel / LP
Huge reissue of Dark Day's 1st album 'Exterminating Angel' originally released in 1980 on Lust/Unlust. Dark Day is the minimal electronics brainchild of Robin Crutchfield following his separation with no-wave band DNA. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, Crutchfield was fascinated with both performance art and the most esoteric edges of pop music. After making his escape to New York City in the mid-70's, he was inspired by Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band and Lydia Lunch's Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. He made the transition into the new music of downtown Manhattan and formed the no-wave band DNA with Arto Lindsay and Ikue Mori in 1977. In 1979 Crutchfield left DNA to pursue a series of musical projects under the name Dark Day. His 1st album, 'Exterminating Angel' is named after the Luis Bunuel film of the same name. All 13 songs on this LP use cheap synthesizers to create cyclical, machine-like keyboard riffs as a foundation for the moody, Teutonic music. Crutchfield sings like a lost member of Kraftwerk with a dry detachment creating a starker and chillier atmosphere. Lyrics were derived from cut-up methods similar to those used by the surrealists, fluxus artists, and William Burroughs and Bryon Gysin and pit the subjected against their torments and tormentors. All songs on 'Exterminating Angel' were originally recorded at Sorcerer Sound, NYC. 1979 and produced by Charles Ball. Each LP includes a two-sided fold out poster containing lyrics, photos and lyrical explanations by Robin Crutchfield. Dark Day continue to inspire the current wave of stark, eerie, processional synthesizer music more than 30 years later. Must-Have!
Artist : Dark Day
Label : Dark Entries
hands in the dark / 12"
Dark Day is the minimal electronics brainchild of Robin Crutchfield following his separation with no-wave band DNA. For the 1st incarnation of Dark Day, Robin recruited Nina Canal from The Gynecologists and later UT on guitar and Nancy Arlen from Mars on drums. They recorded 2 songs for a 7″ single, released in 1979 on Charles Ball's Lust/Unlust label. Off-kilter jerk-like guitar and energetic acrobatic tom-tom tumbling fuse with queasy lurching keyboards and 'cold medicine' vocals. This single stepped away from no wave towards what was going on in the U.K. with The Normal, Robert Rental and Throbbing Gristle. After this single Dark Day would regroup with Robin on synthesizers and vocals, Phil Kline on guitar, Barry Friar on drums and guest Steven Brown of Tuxedomoon on saxophone to record the 'Exterminating Angel' album. In 1981, the song "Trapped" was released as a 12" ep backed with "The Exterminations (1 Thru 6)". For these 6 instrumental tracks, Robin went back into the studio with the master tapes, flipped them over and played them backwards. Altering track assignments, speed and reverb effects, he rode the faders in and out, creating short "Exterminations" of the original songs. The result is Crutchfield's favorite Dark Day release. The vinyl comes housed in jacket featuring a self-made cartoon of Robin Crutchfield to announce the release of the 7" in 1979. Each LP includes a double sided 11×17 fold-out poster with lyrics and photos and song notes by Robin and Nina Canal. Dark Day continue to inspire the current wave of stark, eerie, processional synthesizer music more than 30 years later ;)

Vampyre Hunter – Dayamanti Karriea and Half Fae – Freya Mackenzie have one thing in common – neither of them fit in in the supernatural world.
As the annual Cherry Blossom Ball approaches, each of them receives an invite that fills them with dread. All guests from the supernatural educational system, nicknamed the House of Alternatives -have been chosen by the highest power and once they accept the black and gold envelope they have no choice but to attend.
The reluctant women arrive at the ball and find it just as the imagined, until a murder is committed. Shock ripples through the ball, as Dayamanti and Freya are surprised by the Supernatural Councils apparent lack of interest in the crime, they become determined to find out who committed the murder and if will they strike again.
One thing you can be certain of – this year, it will be murder on the dance floor.
When asked why she decided to create such strong female characters Erika said, "There aren't enough around. I love a book where the female is there for a reason and not just there to be the love interest. Also I think people forget how strong us women actually are."
The novel is described as "Drawing on a lifelong enthusiasm for the vampyre genre, Erika has a solid basis for creating new and exciting plots. Her determination to set herself apart from most vampyre and supernatural fiction is clear throughout her novel. Long gone are the loving and attractive Vampyre's, instead all these Vampyres want is your blood.
"There are clear themes of honour and responsibility and hope and despair. Erika's ability to create instantly relatable characters makes this debut novel a gripping read."

Biomass energy and forests: finding the missing emissions
Duncan Brack, Chatham House
Many countries are currently expanding their use of biomass for electricity and heat as part of their efforts to reduce carbon emissions. But the current greenhouse gas accounting framework fails to account for a significant quantity of the real emissions from biomass use.
In 2011, biomass accounted for about eight per cent of total renewable electricity generation; International Energy Agency projections suggest this could triple over the next twenty years. Wood, and particularly wood pellets, is the biomass fuel of choice. EU member states are the main source of demand, and their consumption exceeds EU production; in recent years imports have grown substantially, mainly from the US and also from Canada and Russia.
Policy frameworks generally treat biomass energy as zero-carbon, in the same way as other renewables like solar or wind. This is thanks to the greenhouse gas inventory and reporting guidance developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In order to avoid double counting emissions from forest biomass – within both the energy sector, when the biomass is burned, and the land-use sector, when the biomass is harvested – the rules provide that emissions should be reported within the land-use sector only. This was a rational decision, but problems arise because of the different ways in which emissions are counted in the land-use sector. In practice, accounting of biomass emissions in the energy sector are not being fully balanced by accounting in the land-use sector.
Kyoto Protocol parties were given a choice of baselines for forest management. Three chose to use historic baselines (as in other sectors, e.g. energy), and 34 business-as-usual baselines, where only changes in emissions compared to what was expected to occur are accounted for. And the problem is that a number of countries included significant increases in biomass energy use in their projections, which will therefore not be counted against their national emissions targets. And they won't be counted against the emissions targets of the country in which the biomass is used for energy. Effectively, they are 'missing' emissions.
Another problem arises if the source of the biomass lies outside the control framework – as is now the case with the US, a Kyoto non-party; EU emissions from US-sourced biomass are currently completely unaccounted for. Hopefully this won't be a problem with any new agreement.
What is the volume of missing emissions? Unfortunately it is not possible to tell, because national data isn't complete. We do know, however, that in 2012 Annex I countries in aggregate emitted almost 900 MtCO2 from biomass combustion, about five per cent of total Annex I greenhouse gas emissions. Some of that will have been accounted for in the land-use sector; a significant proportion of it won't.
Under the right conditions, biomass energy has a future in efforts to combat climate change. But at the moment a quirk of the accounting rules has created a perverse incentive for countries to invest in biomass energy, counting it as a carbon-neutral source even when a proportion of the associated emissions in the land-use sector are going unaccounted for.
The focus of the arguments in Paris this week is whether to include land-use and forest emissions in reporting at all. There are clearly good arguments to include it – but if that is the decision made, parties need to fix the loophole that can allow biomass energy emissions to go unreported. We need more detail on the type, source and country of origin of the biomass used, full reporting of emissions from the land-use sector, and consistency in national reporting from the land-use and from the energy sectors. In this way we can move towards a system that accurately reflects the atmospheric impacts of forest-based biomass energy.

Welcoming Fall to Your North Texas Garden
Editor's Note: This post has been updated with 2014 Plant Sales & Events info. Originally published October 2013.
After the heat of a North Texas summer, fall is always a welcome relief. Plants are starting to grow again, putting out new foliage and storing up carbohydrates (food) for the coming winter months. Colors on the trees will soon beckon us outside to enjoy the cooler weather and spend more time in our gardens.
Autumn is an ideal time for planting many perennials and shrubs. Plan your garden now and you'll be creating a fall color display you can enjoy for years to come.
The sooner you get your plants in the ground, the more time they have to get established, plus the longer you have to enjoy their fall colors. Trees are the exception to the fall planting rule: winter is the best time for trees. See my post on winter tree care and planting for more on this topic.
My personal favorite native Texas and well-adapted fall blooming plants are Mexican Bush Sage (purple), Blackfoot Daisy (white) and Four Nerve Daisy (yellow). This perennial grouping is a striking color combination for the front yard that is sure to become a neighborhood favorite. And as Texas (and Mexican) natives, these fall bloomers can tough out and even bloom through our summers.
If you could use some help planning your fall garden (or cleaning up and regrouping after the summer season took its toll!), a little Garden Coaching might be just what you need. We can work together to add a touch of color in your garden beds or containers, and at the same time, you can learn best practices for caring for your garden for each changing season.
You can also find many beautiful color combinations to brighten up your garden yourself this fall at our local native nurseries and plant sales.
DFW Area Fall Plant Sales & Events for October 2014

Transit: From JC to University
You're finally done with the 'A' levels. What's next? According to the usual route of JC students, you'll find yourself in a local university after a long hiatus from school. Unfamiliar faces, different learning methods, brand new environments – we feel your apprehension. Here's the lowdown on what to expect.

This is the description
Series "432". Worldwide Mint & Used Collections from five Minkus Global Albums. Moderately filled with British and French Colonies, South and Central America, Africa and Asia. Generally fine or better centering. The collection is somewhat poorly organized, with some duplication, and stamps falling off their hinges. Still, some interesting stamps and occasional higher values.
Series "479". Huge worldwide collection to 1940 in 14 Scott International Albums. This is one of the neatest and cleanest collections that I have seen in a long time, with many unusual, not often seen, hard to find stamps. All stamps, whether mint or used are mounted in clear mounts on the album pages, making for beautiful country collections.
Series #493. Fourteen, two inch red Harris Albums pack withan assortment of small country collecions. Stamps are all in clear mounts, mostly in incomplete sets. A mixture of mint and used stamps. A lot of all different stamps at a low cost.
Series "495".
