A READING from: "In The Company of The Holy Mother"
(available at all Vedanta Centres)
Page 95
Swami Arupananda:
Udbodhan (Mother's Room), 24 April, 1912:
It was half past one. I had gone upstairs after the midday meal in order to fetch pAn. I heard Mother talking....She said, "'Men cannot give up their nature,' Chaitanya Deva once said, 'I favour him who forgets his own nature and worships me.'"
I said, "I remember you once said at Jayrambati, 'It would be all right if one's nature could change.' Another day you said, 'Some people's nature is such that as soon as one sees them one feels a love for them, but when one sees others one has a different feeling.'"
"You are right, my son," Mother said, "all that counts is one's nature. What else matters?"
"Speaking of Golap-Ma," I said, "Sharat Maharaj (Swami Saradananda) remarked that if she gives away a green coconut she would shout it out to the whole house."
"Yes, they have got into that habit nowadays," Mother said. "They make a scene at the slightest cause. Jogen (Jogin-Ma) used to be so quiet and controlled, but she too is not like that any lomger. My son, forbearance is a great virtue, there is no other like it."

Civil Rights Fighter
By: Lexi Lubotsky
Essential Question:
-If Rosa Parks stood up on the bus instead of sitting December 1, 1955 would the civil rights be where they are today?
Sub- Questions
-What was Rosa Parks childhood like?
-How did the civil rights affect her decision?
-What are some of her most popular achievements?
Rosa Louise McCauley was born on February 4, 1913 to James(a carpenter) and Leona (a teacher) McCauley. When Rosa was young she was very prone to sicknesses, such as chronic tonsillitis. She was never given the right care, because her mother was often sick or depressed. Rosa's father was often away building houses and she missed her husband.
When Rosa was older she moved in with her grand parents and family to a farm in Alabama. There she cleaned and worked. When she was 11 she attended Montgomery Industrial School for Girls,
a private school for independent girls ready to learn.
When Rosa was older, she married Raymond Parks and attended Alabama State Teachers College. Later, the couple joined the NAACP (the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) where they both learned that the NAACP was looking for an outburst/flare up. But Rosa never knew she was going to be that flare up.
On December 1, 1955 after packing up her work (Montgomery fair department store, tailors assistant) Rosa went to the bus stop. On Rosa's way home from work, bus driver James F. Blake asked four black people to move so one white man could sit. Rosa was one of those people. But instead of moving Rosa stayed and didn't move. James called the police and Rosa was arrested. The news got around and eventually got to the NAACP where a lawyer was able to help Rosa and get her out on bail for 100 dollars. That's when the start of some thing big had happened.
Rosa was not the only person to stand their ground on the bus. 15-year-old Claudette Colvin was also arrested for not giving up her seat. She didn't move even when the bus driver warned her about being arrested. As the bus driver drove into town Claudette (like Rosa) didn't budge until police force was necessary. When police found Claudette, she dragged off the bus kicking and screaming. Also,18-year-old Mary Louise Smith was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger.
Here is a clip that shows what the bus incident was like.
After Rosa was bailed out of jail, the NAACP
came up with the idea of a boycott. they would stop riding the buses until the allowed buses the blacks and whites to be seated together. This idea was called "the bus boycott."
The bus boycott began on January 1, 1955.
In less then four days over 90% of all black
people had stopped riding the buses. Because
of this the buses had to raise their prices. The
normal 10 cents was raised to 15 cents. A bus driver would only have to work a half day because of the lack of people.
After the whole bus boycott Rosa became a woman of inspiration and motivation. She became the role model of many black girls. Sadly, she died October 24, 2005 in Detroit.

Question about Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator 6 (cdrvlpe6101250) for PC
When I try to open PM Studio, I get the message "Preview Component Error Class not registered in Method CreateInstance"\
When I access certain media files, I keep getting a combination of Windows Installer and Roxio Creator windows popping up, which I have to shut down.
Posted by Zump on
I have fixed the problems with the installer, etc. But, I stil cannot open PM Studio. I just get the message "Preview Component Error Class not registered in Method CreateInstance."
Maybe your activation your your software is illegal. or maybe your installer doesn't really have all the requirements or the needed components to have full the instalation process. try to reinstall your software, but if it doesn't work, maybe you can call your software dealer.

Stitched Maple Trio dies from Simon Says Stamp are excellent for the value and perform beautifully. If you have been in card-making for a long while (like me), you probably have a leaf punch or two? I have a few Marvey punches and the leaf ones were my favorites. The good thing about having the dies these days is that the details on the leaf are awesome. That deep etched lines on the leaves make a huge difference. No wonder those punches are obsolete now!
Thanks for stopping by!

It is true to say that the idea of a new house or home is exciting. True as it may be, house hunting is not as fun. From dealing with credit clearance to settling on a comfortable environment for family, house hunting has its challenges. The most unsettling bit in the whole process is credit approval and affordability. House hunting requires an excellent real estate agent, who is attentive to details. That is why a guy like Todd Lubar is well celebrated for his revolutionary skills in the real estate business. Todd Lubar's career in real estate dates back to 1995. He graduated from the University of Syracuse having majored in communications. Todd's fascination in assisting people with settling in beautiful homes led him to pursue real estate business. His first trail in career began in Crestar Mortgage Corporation as a loan originator. At Crestar, Todd mastered the art of conventional mortgage banking and took it upon himself to save people through offering low-interest loans. Visit linkedin for more details about Lubar.
Legendary Properties LLC
With his passion for providing easy and affordable ways of acquiring homes, Todd delved into relationships with most insurance estate agents, financial planners, real estate agents and CPA's. To this date, the relationships he created continue to blossom. His skills in the real estate business further manifest when in 1999, he accepted a position at the Legacy Financial Group as an equity agent. The position allowed him to expand his skills in the business. Todd used the position to broker loans and investors while lending money through banks as a direct agent. When he left Legacy Financial Group, he established Legendary Properties, LLC. Legendary Properties is a residential development company that capitalized on purchasing, reforming, selling and harvesting profits from single-family homeowners. See more: http://patch.com/maryland/potomac/todd-lubar-successful-baltimore-businessman
Upon building his business, Todd was able to develop a good rapport with all real estate agents, money lending institutions, and contractors. He later started a Charter Funding project. It is a program from the Financial Corporation of First Magnus. His growth in real estate took a new positive direction towards offering huge help to prospective homeowners. With his track record in the business, Todd realized he could assist the low-income families through Financial Legendary Properties, a unit of Legendary Properties. In the company, Todd loans individuals, and firms. It, in turn, allows him to borrow on behalf of the less fortunate. Todd is an excellent example of a successful real estate agent who provides mortgage solutions by offering affordable loans through his associates, relationships, and companies.

Well, I have put it everywhere else, so I am adding it here too. Angela now has a Society 6 shop where you can currently buy art prints and pillows and totes! Amazing, right?
Abe has some of his beautiful photography up for sale on SmugMug! And if you haven't been keeping up with his Shot of the day project for 2014, you should be. Great stuff going on there.
If you aren't a fan on our Facebook page, go for it. When we hit 50 people, one lucky dog (or human I guess) will get their own portrait dodo avatar. Like the ones smothering this page.
OK. I will leave you to now browse through all the awesomeness in those links.

It may sound like a cliche but there really is nothing more important in this life than our relationship with our family! They are the ones who will always be there for us no matter what.

Also coming: Search by Date Added !!!

No comments:
date added
New feature: Quick Search in list
The next version of SmartPlaylist (v7.1) will feature a quick search in the list view similar to the one in iTunes:
SmartPlaylist searches the following text fields:
genre, composer, grouping, artist album-artist, album-name, title and comments
It also uses the given amount of "*" to
filter by minimum rating
In the above example the original list W was filtered with "alasd ***", leaving 44 songs (out of the complete list) with at least 3 stars and with "alasd" in one of the text fields.
Another example: "boar key" will find songs with "Keyboard" in the title or album-name, etc.
In SmartPlaylist's help (Menu > Help) you can learn about some additional features:
If only 1 specific text field should be used for the search, prefix "G:" (genre), "C:" (composer), "GR:" (grouping), "A:" (artist), "AA:" (album-artist), "AT:" (album-title), "T:" (title) or "CM:" (comments).
Example: "G:jaz ***" gets all items with a rating of at least 3, whose genre contains "jaz".
By the way: You can now load all your songs with "Load" without entering any rules (before there was a message "Please enter search rules").

Update because of iOS 7.0.3
iOS 7.0.3 necessitates a small update to shift the playback position indicator in "Now Playing" back by 6 pixels to its proper place.
Plus: SmartPlaylist will now maintain its own shuffle mode to prevent unwanted changes when the Music app interferes (especially when using album shuffle).
==> SmartPlaylist v7.0.1, out in about 7 days.

Preview at iOS 7 version (iPhone)
UPDATE: Released on 21.10.2013
The iOS 7 version for the iPhone is now ready. Unfortunately it is not possible to make an iPhone-only update, I must also update the iPad version. This will take me another week or two.
Basically it is just a new look (you like it or you don't), but it is also a simplified user interface. All the functions are still there, but some in a more simplified manner. The playback control now only offers the shuffle and repeat modes, plus the speed control (+ or -), because you can now use the iOS' Control Centre to play/pause/skip, etc.

NOT 100% compatible with iOS7
Beware: SmartPlaylist is NOT 100% compatible with iOS7 (thank you, Apple!). Currently, I don't have the motivation to invest hours and days again, just to make it work as before.
So, just stay with iOS6.
: Be patient. I am now working on a new version adapted to iOS 7.
: I'm actually quite happy now that I had to rework my app for iOS 7. Seeing an app still in the old iOS 6 style makes me shudder (so ugly).

Slow down or speed up playback (without changing the pitch)
In the latest version of SmartPlaylist (v6.3) you can change the speed of the music playback. You can slow down to 0.5x or 0.8x or speed up to 1.2x, 1.5x or even 2x. The pitch of the song is not changed by this.
This can be easily and quickly done in the playback control of SmartPlaylist, which can be accessed from anywhere, at any time with "
You can use this new feature
just for fun
to scan for a specific playback position
for quickly going through MP3-lectures at 1.5x or 2x playback speed
to play along at a slower speed for practice
only works with iOS 6
(not iOS 5)
On the iPhone / iPod the control is only available in portrait mode, but not in landscape mode (there is not enough space in the pop-up). On the iPad it is available in both modes.

How to bring the beautiful cover artwork to the front (wallpaper)
In the iPhone Music player you only ever see your beautiful cover artwork in square format on about half of the screen.
When you you start up SmartPlaylist you can tap "⌥" (Options) and select "➜ Now Playing" ...
... to jump directly to the song which is now playing on the iPhone:
Here, you simply
on the artwork to enlarge it to full screen:
With one finger you can move the artwork left or right until you get the desired frame. Now you press the home button and the on/off button on top at the same time to take a picture of what you see on the screen (you will get a white flash when this happens).
Then you go to the iPhone settings and select "Brightness & Wallpaper". You will find your full screen artwork picture in your Camera Roll.
So, with just a few taps you get a wallpaper from the artwork in your music library.

How to use the Music Browser
Short introduction
Music Browser
lets you pick the desired genres, composers, etc. step by step, instead of typing the values into the search fields. In the standard configuration of SmartPlaylist you can first select one or more genres, then you get the list of all the composers in the selected genres, then the list of the groupings for the selected composers, then the artists, then the albums, until you get the list of all the titles in the selected albums.
It works similar to the Column Browser in iTunes. You can also select one, many or all on each level.
Getting ready
SmartPlaylist B is playing ("
") and we don't want to interrupt it while we prepare and refine a new playlist in tab A. So we scroll to the bottom of the rules page (start view) and set "
Show only
" for A. This means that the results of the query for list A will be only displayed, but not loaded into the playback queue of the Music player, i.e. B keeps on playing in the background.
Hint: You can see the current song now playing and skip to the next song in list B using the playback control with "
In this "Show only" mode, the "Enter" and "Show" keys are shown as "
" / "
" instead of "
" / "➤".
Now we set up the Music Browser starting with a tap on "
" (command menu) and selecting "Settings".
In the settings page we scroll to the bottom to select only some of the available browsing levels. As we only want to work with artists and their titles, we deactivate the other levels (composer, groupings, albums).
Note: Genre cannot be deactivated, i.e. the Music Browser always starts with selecting the genre(s).
We navigate back to "Rules" (upper left). With our simple configuration the Music Browser is now "reduced" to Genre > Artist > Title.
Browsing the media library
1. Selecting the genres
Now we start the Music Browser with the blue/white "
" on the right. SmartPlaylist must first read all the songs in your library in order to build up and cache the required data. This is only done once after launching SmartPlaylist.
Note: Unfortunately, SmartPlaylist is not aware of changes in your music library (due to downloads or sync). To reload all the data you must use
> "Empty cache after sync" or re-launch SmartPlaylist.
Note: After certain actions (e.g. changing the "Music Browser: Show / hide") SmartPlaylist reloads the data automatically.
First we get the list of all the genres. You can scroll around and pick the desired items with a tap. The number of selected items is indicated on top.
You can also search for specific items or see only the selected or un-selected items by using the search bar at the top of the list. Here we search for "Folk" by typing "fol":
Hint: You can use "*" as a wildcard for any characters. "*folk" will only show entries which end with "folk" (e.g. "Ethno-Folk"). "rock*roll" will give you "Rock & Roll", "Rock'n'Roll", etc.. "*" will show all entries.
When you switch from "All" to "Not selected" and "Selected" SmartPlaylist automatically inserts just "*" to show all the selected or not-selected items.
So now we have picked three genres and navigate to all the artists in these genres with "Artists➤".
2. Picking artists
We can now select the artists. If we want all the artists, we do not select any or tap "All" at the bottom.
Again, we can search the list or filter only the selected or not-selected artists, as shown above.
If some artists are missing, then we can navigate back to "Genres" and add more.
Then we move on to "Titles➤".
3. Picking the songs
In the third step we now get the list of all songs by the selected artists. Again, we pick what we like. For now we want all the songs, so we don't select any (or use "All") and finish the selection with "OK
4. Result: Search rules
The Music Browser
all the rules above it (Genre, Composer, Grouping, Artist, Album, Title) with the selection made in the browser and confirmed with "OK
Note: The search type is changed to "is equal to" instead of "contains", in order to select only exactly what was picked in the browser.
All the other rules below it are not changed.
We have selected some genres and some artists, but not (yet) any particular songs. Therefore we get (only) two rules, one for genres and one for artists:
As you can see, the Music Browser only fills in the rules, which we could also type in directly (using " OR "). But picking many artists from a list is much more convenient than typing them in. In our example we have selected 14 artists, which makes quite a list:
5. Get the playlist
We could now adapt the rules or add more rules (rating, etc.).
As always, we launch the query with "
", or rather "*
" in our case and get the result list.
Note: As list A is not in the queue for playback now, but only shown on the screen (remember: "Show only"), it is indicated as "*A" on top. You cannot play songs from this list by pressing on them in the list.
Once we are satisfied with the list (content, sorting), we switch back to the "
Load for playback" mode and tap "
" to listen to this new smart playlist.

iTunes 11 bug: Play count gone
Don't like iTunes 11. Apart from the unasked-for GUI revision, which made some features just disappear (I mean, Apple knows what we want, so they don't have to ask, do they), it also brought some bugs.
The latest bug I observe is that the play count ("Plays") for some songs just disappears, i.e. the last played date is still there, but there is no play count anymore. Sometimes it's 17 songs without play count, then again there are 92 titles where the play count has just gone.
Maybe this happens when I sync, I don't know.
I have reported this bug to Apple. Please do the same (https://bugreport.apple.com) if you also have this very annoying problem.

Landmark East is a day and boarding school that serves the needs of students who typically have average or above cognitive ability, but who are challenged by one or more learning differences such as dyslexia, ASD, AD/HD or non-verbal learning disabilities.
After more than 30 years, the key to our success at Landmark East School is our belief that all students can learn, and all students can be successful. Our strength as a school is our innovative and unique programs, our highly trained, experienced teachers and a supportive close-knit learning community.

For families with school-age kids, this is the time of year for readjusting to schedules and deadlines. Along with all of the positive aspects of the "back to school" season, most parents agree that one of the main stress points is homework.
It is important to set students up for success and reduce the frustration that parents often face when dealing with studying, projects and daily assignments.
By creating a homework space, many obstacles to success can be instantly removed.
Here are our tips to help:
1. Be sure your child's study area is free of distracting clutter. A visually calming environment and clear work surface aids in concentrating and organizing.
2. Provide plenty of paper and other supplies they may need for their tasks.
3. Most students require a computer, so arrange the study area for the screen to be visible to supervising adults.
4. Use a timer in the new study area to set short spans of work time with breaks.
5. After a long day in school, free time to stretch and relax is important.
6. A whiteboard or large calendar can be helpful to record upcoming tests and project due dates (avoid those late night, last minute scrambles).
7. Some kids like a bit of background noise so they don't feel too isolated, but turn off the television so they are not overly distracted.
8. Another important feature of a good study space is adequate lighting.
9. If you have several kids sharing a desk area, you can build partitions for them to have designated workspace.
10. If the kitchen bar or table is used for homework, consider a rolling cart to store supplies, or even several baskets so things can be cleared away but remain organized.
Our final tip is one of my favorites – consider essential oils in a diffuser; many have found peppermint helps to spark alertness.
Taking the time to thoughtfully design a work zone will help your kids take school more seriously and will help you feel less frustrated. Hopefully, these suggestions will make homework less of a dreaded task, for your kids and for you!

text: I recently bought this palette from Sephora(Sephora Pro Lesson Palette for brown eyes) because it is specifically for brown eyes! My sister bought it as well…I really like the consistency of the eyeshadows. They go on really silky and smooth and have a nice iridescence to them. The purple shade in this palette is my absolute favorite. It goes really well with all the golden bronzy browns as a layering color. But be careful, I tried to put it on the way the palette tells you to and I looked like I got punched in the eye. I don't think any eyeshadow should ever be taken straight up to the eye brow. That's just too much make up! Anyways, this was my version of the look. I used a Nars Eyeliner in Campo De Fiori which is a golden color from the long-wear collection for the bottom lash line. (This line of long-wear pencils is among the best in terms of staying power now that I have tried them!). You can find this palette here for 28$. 🙂

Lyrics from Kendrick Lamar, Sounds from 70s and 80s TV.
Unjust's Kendrick Lamar Burton remix project juxtaposes lyrics from Kendrick Lamar; the most dynamic lyricist of recent times, with the sights and sounds of 70's and 80's television. Piecing the project together became a labor of love for Unjust as he states "Television of the era in which I grew up had a certain vibe. Due to a lack of CG, Television and movie makers had to rely on the music to play a bigger role in setting the emotional tone of a scene. This, along with personal memories, is why I often sample music from TV and movies. I wanted to do a remix project, but I wanted it be something that had never been done before; something that would stand out and be attention getting. I figured if I was going to do it, I should remix the best emcee out there right now—and in my opinion, that's Kendrick Lamar. As a bit of an old school, jaded hip-hop head, when I first heard Kendrick Lamar I was overjoyed with hope. So this project while poking a bit of fun at him with the imagery is not meant to be disparaging towards him - quite the opposite. He's the first emcee I heard in quite a while that made me like a song with a beat I didn't really like. So I wondered what he'd sound like on a different style of beat. Making the project proved very difficult as Kendrick doesn't generally make his accapellas available, so I had to research and learn how to DIY (do it yourself) them. This mixtape brings my humor, my design skills and my beats together full circle, while paying homage to the greatest era of TV, and the greatest emcee of the modern era.

Strapped with cash this Valentine's? No problem. DIY the heck out of this heart's day.
Add dreamy layers of color, and a simple shape becomes a stunning work of art!
Watercolor Tips & Tricks:
Add dreamy layers of color, and a simple shape becomes a stunning work of art!
- To start, outline your heart shape and wet the area you're going to paint.
- Then dab on colors— they'll quickly spread as they interact with the water.
- Let the paint dry, and then go back over the shape with additional layers of paint and water until you achieve the desired effect.
Finish off by placing it on an inexpensive picture frame. Now, you can say you made an effort in your gift idea.
- Try outlining your design with colored pencil instead of graphite— regular pencil can be hard to erase under watercolor.
- When blending and mixing paints, stick with complementary colors (on opposite sides of the color wheel) to avoid muddy browns and grays.
- Keep a few paper towels on hand while you paint—they're helpful for removing excess moisture from your brushes.

A new ranking says the best liberal arts colleges are concentrated in the Northeast, still.
U.S. News & World Report's 2014 ranking for the best national liberal arts colleges, released Tuesday, offered little change from previous years, despite changes in the publication's methodology.
Williams College in Massachusetts held onto its seat at the top yet again. Amherst College, also in Massachusetts, ranked second.
Liberal arts colleges in the ranking are defined as schools that "focus on undergraduate education and award at least 50 percent of their degrees in fields such as English, economics or sociology," U.S. News explained.
All of the schools at the top have fewer than 3,000 students and display tuition and fees for the 2013-2014 above $40,000, but U.S. News notes that looks can be deceiving:
Schools on this list don't always appear affordable, so students need to look beyond sticker prices. Vassar College in New York, the No. 6 Best Value School in the Liberal Arts Colleges category, listed 2012-2013 tuition, room and board, fees and expenses at $59,860, but awarded need-based grants to nearly 60 percent of students that year. The average cost after receiving those funds was $19,470, an average discount of $40,390 off the total cost of attendance.
Check out U.S. News & World Report's ranking of the top liberal arts colleges for 2014 in the slideshow below:

AUSTIN, Texas — Fiscal conservatives are urging the Texas Legislative Budget Board (LBB) to adopt a stricter budget cap than the 11.68 percent growth rate they approved in an unanimous vote on Monday.
The LBB is a permanent joint legislative committee comprised of the Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, and four members each from the Texas House and Senate. Current membership is Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, Speaker of the House Joe Straus, Senators Kevin Eltife, Craig Estes, Juan Hinojosa, and Jane Nelson, and Representatives Drew Darby, John Otto, Sylvester Turner, and John Zerwas.
The Texas Constitution directs the LBB to set a limit for the growth of appropriations from state revenue to an estimated rate of growth of Texas' economy, and the LBB has some flexibility in how they calculate that rate of growth. This limit only applies to about forty percent of the budget, addressing the appropriations not dedicated under the constitution to specific budget items. The LBB adopts a recommendation every two years before the start of each new Legislative Session, which is then sent to a committee comprised of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, and Comptroller, who have ten days to officially declare an appropriations growth rate, either by accepting the LBB's recommendation, or by selecting their own method. If this committee fails to affirmatively select their own method within that ten day period, the LBB's recommendation becomes final, and the Legislature cannot "bust" this spending cap without a majority vote.
This year's LBB spending cap recommendation, 11.68 percent, is a slightly less than 1 percent increase over the spending cap for the current two-year budget, and was based on the estimated rate of growth in Texans' personal income over the next two years. This is the method that the LBB has traditionally selected, but there are drawbacks: because the estimated rate of growth in personal income is a future projection, there is by definition uncertainty in calculating the figure. According to the Texas Tribune, LBB staff provided four options for the LBB to consider, ranging from the "most pessimistic take" from the Comptroller's office of 11.68 percent, to Moody's Analytics projection of 15.71 percent.
Because of Texas' booming economy, the state has been experiencing significant budget surpluses during the past few Legislative Sessions, leading to some to call for spending the windfall on education, infrastructure projects, etc., while conservatives have raised concerns that the Legislature is going on a spending spree that will prove to be unsustainable. The Wall Street Journal made waves in 2013 with an editorial titled, "Texas Goes Sacramento," that made this exact point: "The danger is that Texas will repeat the fiscal mistake that California has made repeatedly: spend during the glory days and, once the economy slows, raise taxes to cover the deficit."
Dale Craymer, president of the Texas Taxpayers and Research Association, told the Tribune that his organization was urging Legislators to "continue to exercise restraint as they begin work on the 2016-17 state budget," and "to remember that the limit is a cap, not an obligation."
The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), an Austin-based conservative free-market think tank, recommended officially setting the spending cap at a lower figure, 6.5 percent. This figure is based on the state's growth in population plus the rate of inflation for the past two fiscal years, and unlike the LBB's method of using personal income projections, the TPPF figure is based on current, precisely known figures. TPPF's recommended figure of 6.5 percent would set total appropriations at $217.1 billion, about $10.5 billion less than the 11.68 percent cap recommended by the LBB. As mentioned above, the committee is free to adopt TPPF's recommendation, or another method of calculating the state's economic growth, as long as they affirmatively vote to do so before the ten day period lapses.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart Texas, Dr. Vance Ginn, an economist with TPPF's Center for Fiscal Policy, shared why they are urging the adoption of the lower spending cap. "Restraining spending to the growth rate of population plus inflation is important for the future of Texans, especially the neediest among us," said Ginn, "because if [spending] continues to grow faster than this rate, they will be burdened with funding a higher cost of state government." Ginn added, "Since the 2004-2005 budget, total spending is up 13.4 percent above population growth plus inflation. Texans cannot afford the higher taxes and fees to continue to fund this larger footprint of government."
Talmadge Heflin, the Center's Director and former chairman of the Texas House Committee on Appropriations, released a statement on Monday that said that this spending increase costs a Texas family of four $1,800 more this year to support the state's government, and adopting TPPF's recommended 6.5 percent cap would "better match spending growth with Texas families' ability to support it."
JoAnn Fleming, the Executive Director of Grassroots America and Breitbart Texas contributor, similarly urged greater restraints on spending. According to Fleming, from 1990 to 2012, population growth plus inflation (the figure TPPF recommends to be used to calculate the cap) totaled 132%, while Texas state spending rose 310%. "This is not how a conservative 'red state' should be governed," said Fleming. "We are looking forward to Governor Abbott and Lt. Governor Patrick reining in this dangerous pattern of spending. Texans cannot afford a Texas run like Washington, DC."

Refugees are often faced with impossible choices. If you were in their shoes, what would you do?Take the quiz!
Refugees are often faced with impossible choices. If you were in their shoes, what would you do?Take the quiz!
We believe that no woman seeking asylum should have to tell her story:
In front of her children
"I could have opened up more but my little boy was there, I don't want to bias his mind, I don't want him to go through that trauma. When it's just you and your child, you struggle. In the interview there was a bit of disturbance because he wanted attention."
-Annick, Cameroon
Since this campaign started Home Office provision of childcare has expanded to all regions in the UK except London. This means that the young children of a woman attending her asylum interview in Glasgow, Cardiff, Solihull, Leeds, Liverpool can play safely in a nearby nursery during the woman's interview. This prevents women having to choose between traumatizing their children and not disclosing her whole story. The current provision needs evaluating and the provision of childcare in London is still being considered. As well as childcare during asylum interviews, we believe that this should be provided at screening.

Oh look, a High Tek card that doesn't have an issue with its surface and to top it off its a very limited (4/10) Kershaw autograph.
This card sat on eBay for months and no one touched it till I did when the seller just gave up and put such a low asking price for it. I scoped it up and thought it would gem when I did decide to submit it to BGS. Low and behold it did just that as not a single grade less than a 9.5 was earned by this card. What would be great is if I can land the other 2 red Tek autos from 2015 and 2016 to make this a nice little 3 card project. Oh wait I think I have another, see you tomorrow.
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.

Urban design has been described as the art of making places for people.
Art demands more than just following rules, of course. It demands inspiration and imagination.
But there are rules — concerning such things as scale, perspective, form and materials — that make a huge difference in how livable and pleasing a place will be.
In a happy bit of symbiosis, places that commit to good design have a way of inspiring imagination and excellence in other spheres.
It's been obvious — painfully obvious — for a long time that Lexington's built environment would greatly benefit from more attention to the principles of urban design.
Two grassroots groups — ProgressLex and the Fayette Alliance — have recently urged the city to enact design standards. Before that, design standards were called for in the city's Destination 2040 study, the Downtown Master Plan and the 2007 Comprehensive Plan that guides land use in Fayette County.
The council's planning committee last week approved creation of a task force to launch the process of drafting design standards for Lexington, beginning probably with downtown.
This is a long overdue move that will require support from city planning staff and outside consultants.
Ideally, the mayor would provide the leadership for this effort.
But Mayor Jim Newberry, once openly skeptical of design standards, now seems to be positioning himself squarely on the fence, while retaining the option of blaming the council, depending on how the winds blow.
"I am glad that the council is finally beginning to address design guidelines," he said in a statement. "The council had an opportunity to start work on design guidelines in 2008, when we began talking about CentrePointe, and failed to do so. I have already indicated that I am open to the idea. My support ultimately will depend upon the specific proposal."
That is a classic example of the political art of plausible deniability.

In the six weeks since the completion of changes to the junction of the A494/A470 at Dolgellau there have been three serious road traffic collisions, two fatalities, two seriously injured and two ˜minor injuries". Many people have expressed concerns locally and with the coming summer holidays and an increase to the traffic at this junction there are likely to be more such incidents. We call on the Welsh Government to consider, urgently, changes to this junction before more lives are lost or changed for the worse.
Additional Information:
This junction has always caused concern but in the six weeks of the changes people are very wary of using it and 'locals' change their routes to avoid it when possible. The deaths and injuries are a needless waste of life and lives will be saved if a clearer system is in place, maybe a small roundabout or at least, in the short term, additional signage.

A stranger in Memphis offered Larry Scott $200 yesterday to have a vasectomy. Scott, who said he's an alcoholic and crack addict, was walking down the street when Project Prevention founder Barbara Harris handed him a flier, reports the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The North Carolina woman is driving through the Southeast offering cash to addicts and alcoholics who agree to use long-term or permanent birth control. "It makes sense," said Scott, 43, "I don't want to pass this on to a baby. I don't want to hurt somebody else just because I'm hurt." Harris said Project Prevention has paid 1,200 addicts to stop having babies since 1997. Almost 500 have done so permanently, with 473 women undergoing tubal ligation and 26 men getting vasectomies. About 700 have opted for birth control, including Depo-Provera, Norplant or the Intra-Uterine device.
Harris, 51, and her son Stephen Francis, 32, cruised around Memphis, slapping stickers and posters on light poles that read: "Get birth control and get $200 cash."
Harris started Project Prevention after she fostered four babies of a crack-addicted mother while living in California. She adopted the children, now ages 10, 12, 13 and 14. Some critics say the $1 million in donations she has received would be better used for drug treatment.

New version. Thanks to sinistre, aj500 & mlverschuren for the pre-release testing!
Probably the largest update I have done in one release so keep a backup of your current DB until you are happy that NMJT2 is doing what you want properly. I have done a lot of personal testing on this version and it seems pretty robust and behaves better than any of the previous releases.
NOTE: it will check that you have the correct mediainfo.dll and if not it will offer to download & update itself. If people find this useful I will extend this to the SQLite dll and even an update check for the new version of the program – let me know what you think.
Changes in this version:
Updated the MediaInfo.dll used by this version of NMJToolbox2 to add new features.
You MUST update to the new .dll – the version used is 0.7.53.0
HOWEVER…. As a treat/test/play about for me, if you open the app now with the wrong version of the .dll it will ask if you want to download the proper version automatically. If you select Yes it will download, extract and install the correct dll for you automatically.
Another note: I use AVAST! antivirus and the latest version puts NMJToolbox2 in a 'sandbox' as it is unsure if it is a virus/malware. Obviously I know what code is in the program and the only thing I can think of that may cause this to be reported is the new feature of auto checking your version of MediaInfo.dll and giving you the option to download/update it automatically.
If you have a heuristics based virus checker and get a warning be assured that there is no malicious code in this program whatsoever (as long as you only get the program from the official nmjtoolbox.net – all links I have posted on here & AVForums get directly from my nmjtoolbox.net website).
Added delete Album function
Added delete Track function
Added function to add new albums to the music section.
Added function to add new tracks to an existing album.
Added function (when adding an album) to extract embedded images from audio files and auto add as the album cover.
Added display/add/remove facility for geres on albums & tracks.
Added an auto fix for videos that were added to the DB incorrectly with apostrophes and ampersands in the path or file name.
Added a re-index all TV and Movies (clears the index out and rebuilds according to the 'search title') – Video only at the moment
Added extra checks in the 'Delete Orphans' utility to check for invalid VIDEOS & SHOWS_VIDEOS records – use with caution!.
Added filename in dialog when user is being asked for season and episode number.
Added catch for an error when multiple movies found querying TMDB but obscure error returns 0.
Added code for moving a season to another series but NMJ had created the records with the same season record but different series records. (it used to create orphaned records)
Added a check for the exact version of MediaInfo and if incorrect it will stop the program being able to run.
Added when deleting an album the next album is auto selected/expanded (if last in tree, previous album is selected)
Added check to ignore adding multiple video files when adding TV epiodes from a BD/DVD folder structure (you should not do this!).
Added utility to check the NMJ image folders and move/backup ones no longer used by the NMJ
Added display of path in status strip (at bottom) when selecting records in the tree that are linked to a file (user request)
Disabled Edit Cast & Keywords button on the toolbar when on the Music tab.
Reordered the music tree to place in alphabetical order of the album search title.
Fixed doing an unnecessary TVDB update when the adding of an episode failed.
Fixed the 'season, episode fix' utility where in some circumstances it sets the TOTAL_ITEM field to the wrong value.
Fixed the display order of Seasons & Episodes when Season/Episode numbers > 9
Fixed the display order of Music tracks when track numbers > 9
Fixed display issue when music artist has an ampersand in their name.
Fixed error with ampersands in file path causing the title to not play in NMJ
Fixed error when editing a title in the tree view then not actually changing it.
Fixed error generated when adding a TV episode that has a name that is just a number eg: 'Doctor Who (2005) S03E07 42.avi'
Fixed error being generated in SQL on season number sometimes when adding new episodes.
Fixed error when moving a movie (with multiple video files) to a TV show and linking to wrong video record.

FIFA, has finally announced the names of the final five candidates for the presidential election. The winner will take over from suspended FIFA President, Sepp Blatter.
FIFA's electoral committee announced the names of the candidates which includes Prince Ali bin al Hussein, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al Khalifa, Gianni Infantino, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne. The voting will be held on Feb 26 in Zurich.
A letter was sent to all 209 member associations on Tuesday.
"The Ad-hoc Electoral Committee has formally admitted and declared the candidates eligible for the election of the office of FIFA president at the extraordinary FIFA Congress," the letter stated according to Hindustan Times.
Sheikh Salman who is the head of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and Infantino, the UEFA general secretary are seen as the frontrunners. However, all five are campaigning hard to gain support and votes.
The candidates are also trying to influence their fellow contenders with promises of offering posts on gaining victory. Sheikh Salman said on Monday that he could invite Infantino or English Premier League (EPL_ chief executive Richard Scudamore to be FIFA secretary general if he wins.
Meanwhile, Infantino and Prince Ali, a former FIFA vice president from Jordan attended a South American confederation, CONMEBOL, congress in Asuncion on Tuesday to seek support for their win.
FIFA has recently been struck with corruption scandal in recent months. Soccer's world governing body has also banned Blatter and Vice President Michel Platini for eight years from all football related activities. Blatter has been accused of paying a $2 million payment to Platini. They are also charged with offering and accepting gifts, conflict of interest, and violating their fiduciary duty to FIFA.
A BBC Panorama documentary also revealed that Qatar spent £117 million ($166M) to win successful bids to host the 2022 World Cup. The FBI ongoing investigation also found 16 FIFA officials and associates guilty of corruption.

Chelsea sealed their coveted place in the Capital One Final on March 1st, when they will clash with the Spurs in a repeat of their League Cup Final in 2008.
In the run up to the much anticipated battle between two of the fiercest football clubs in the England Premier League, Chelsea defeated titan Premiership team, FC Liverpool 2-1 aggregate in the exciting Capital One Cup Semi-Final match with the help of game-winner Branislav Ivanovic in the 4th minute of extra-time. After the match a happy Ivanovic praised the Blues club character and positive team performance as he related details of his winner – a header - that gave Chelsea a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge - putting the Blues through to Wembley for their first League Cup final in seven years. The first Semi-Final leg of Chelsea vs Liverpool ended in a 1-1 draw.
"It's a great personal feeling, but it's the fantastic team spirit. It was a very difficult game, but we are very happy that we are going to Wembley. We did well, we defended really well. It was really hard work but at the end of the day I think we showed the real power of our team and we deserve to be in the Final," said a proud Ivanovic who was key in earning Jose Mourinho's side a place in the 2015 Capital One Cup Final battle.
Thirty year old Serbian Ivanovic joined the Blues at Stamford Bridge in 2008 and has played well as full-back in crucial matches including Chelsea's 2013 Europa League Final against Benfica.
Meanwhile, twenty-four old Belgian superstar Eden Hazard has also been in excellent form this campaign fighting to keep Chelsea in first place on top of the England Premiership table. Hazard recently agreed to a new 5 1/2 year contract with the London Blues.
Superstar Chelsea striker Diego Costa is back from a three-match ban for supposedly deliberately stomping on Liverpool's Emre Can in the Blue's League Cup semi-final in January. Blues' boss Jose Mourinho who did not agree with the red-card decision stated that he believed the challenge was an accident. To date Costa has scored 17 EPL goals this season, and is the highest goal scorer in the Premiership.
Leading up to the final, the Spurs battled in the 2014-15 Capital One Cup Semi-Final Second Leg against Sheffield United defeating them 1-0 (3-2 aggregate) after a stunning goal by Christian Eriksen at 88 minutes. In the first leg, Adams had scored two times in five minutes to level the score at 2-2 on a snowy night at Bramall Lane. Eriksen had opened the scoring with a stunning free kick.
The Spurs will host Fiorentina on February 19 at White Hart Lane in London in the Europa League; and will face West Ham United at home on February 22 in the England Premiership. On February 26th, the Spurs travel to Florence for the second leg of their Europa League tie at Stadio Franchi in Italy.

According to The Content Marketing Institute's 2016 Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends, 75% of B2B marketers listed "in-person events" as their top marketing tactic, above even blogging and social media. That makes "in-person events" as rated the most effective tactic for six consecutive years, and up 6% from last year. The event-marking trend is clearly an effective strategy that isn't bucking anytime soon, and it shouldn't be surprising. Real-life experiences are more engaging and can shape our memories much more profoundly than anything else. If event marketing isn't already part of your overall marketing toolbox, here are just a few reasons why you should consider adding it.
- Consumers today are looking for specific products or services. With so many options, it can be difficult to cut through the clutter. An event facilitates face-to-face discussion with your consumers, helping them to establish a much more personal and intimate relationship with your brand than what is possible in the digital space.
- Speaking of brands, events do a ton to generate brand recognition. As many as 8 out of 10 people who take part in a marketing event pass that experience on to someone else, making your brand much more accessible to your target audience.
- Events are a cost effective way to roll out new products or services. You can get buy-in on a new product much quicker when you have a live, captive audience to showcase it to. And it can come in at a much lower cost than going through traditional media.
- With an event, you can generate feedback almost immediately about your product or service. That means you can get valuable feedback much faster, and allow you to address any potential questions or issues. Not only will this make your business more flexible and adaptable, but your customer satisfaction is likely to improve.
Although creating a conversation with your consumers online is important, engaging with them face-to-face adds a whole other dimension of loyalty. With a marketing event you can get your message out much faster, more effectively, and to an audience who is more eager to hear it.

I slapped this poem together. It's not very good, but this is poetry. I'm not convinced anyone really knows what good poetry is. I certainly don't. In fact, the world of poems is a mystery to me. I rarely, if ever, write any.
I Miss You in Numbers
Do you remember the time we baked 10 huge cookies together?
On my 9th birthday you sang me to sleep for the last time.
8 times you cried in front of me, after dad died.
It took me 7 days to believe it was true.
I was strong 6 times yesterday.
The 5 aunts were arguing over me.
It's 4 days since the final goodbye.
3 people I didn't know dropped off meals.
I did have 2 parents.
We only had 1 life together.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results Abstract Abstract Exposure of blood or plasma to negatively charged surfaces results in activation of the plasma proteins factor XII and prekallikrein (PK) by a process termed contact activation. These reactions require the cofactor high-molecular-weight-kininogen (HK). Contact activation triggers fibrinolysis, kinin formation, and blood coagulation through activation of factor XI. The cDNAs for human factor XI, factor XII, PK, and HK have been cloned, and the amino acid sequences and domain structures of the proteins have been determined. Factor XI, factor XII, and PK are zymogens of serine proteases containing C-terminal trypsin-like catalytic domains and N-terminal domains that bind other macromolecules. Factor XI is a homodimer of 80-kDa polypeptides structurally similar to PK. Factor XI and PK circulate as noncovalent complexes with HK. HK is a multifunctional 110-kDa protein with domains for binding to cells, factor XI, PK, and negatively charged surfaces, and two domains that inhibit cysteine proteases. HK is a source of the potent vasodilatory nanopeptide bradykinin. Genes for factor XI, factor XII, PK, and HK have been characterized and their chromosomal locations determined. Mutations causing hereditary deficiency states have been identified for each protein except PK. The genes, cDNAs, and amino acid sequence for factor XI and PK are very similar, which suggests that they are the products of a duplication event involving a common ancestral gene. Deficiency of factor XI (mim 264900) results in excessive bleeding following trauma or surgery indicating that this protein is essential for normal coagulation. In contrast, deficiencies of factor XII (mim 234000), PK (mim 229000), HK (mim 228960) are not associated with clinical abnormalities. These observations suggest that factor XI is activated in vivo by processes other than contact activation. Factor XI deficiency is common in Ashkenazi Jews, in whom the carrier frequency has been estimated to be 5 to 13 percent. Two distinct point mutations account for the majority of abnormal alleles in this group. The type II mutation results in early termination of the protein, while the type III mutation causes greatly reduced protein secretion from the liver. While deficiencies of factor XII, PK, or HK are not associated with an abnormal phenotype, inappropriate activation of these proteins may contribute to pathologic processes in several clinical conditions such as sepsis, inflammation, and hereditary angioedema.
