Mobile commerce seems to be the hot topic lately. This week in eCommerce, we're really seeing the growth of it! A recent benchmark report shows that 38% of eCommerce traffic during Q1 and Q2 was from mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. Also, PayPal releases a new product which may make mobile payments a lot easier. With OneTouch, shoppers will be able to save their credit card information and simply check out with one touch. It is speculated that Apple may also make an announcement in September that the iPhone 6 will include NFC, which could tackle the challenge of mobile payments. Finally, with the holidays coming up, we see shipping companies UPS and Canada Post gear up for the rush. Check out more of our Weekly Wrap Up to catch up on what's happening in eCommerce.
Numbers Prove Growth of Mobile
Article: 38% of All Ecommerce Site Visits Came From Mobile and Tablet Devices

We've all seen this coming, and we already know it's happening: eCommerce is going mobile. But how big is mobile commerce getting? 38% of all eCommerce traffic during Q1 & Q2 was from mobile devices, according to a report by ShopVisible. However, mobile sales are still a little behind in conversion rates and average order values. With the rate that mobile commerce is growing in and the growing popularity of mobile devices, those numbers may soon shoot high as well.
Will Apple Make Mobile Payments a Winner?

With the upcoming debut of Apple's iPhone 6, pundits are also predicting that this year, the new iPhone will also include NFC. Apple will allow consumers to register one card to their iTunes account, which can then be used to pay for items in stores that accept NFC payments. Will this mean mobile payments will finally be made easy? Only 3 more months until we find out.
Checkout on Mobile with One Touch
Article: PayPal Rolls Out One-Touch Mobile Checkout For Apps
Source: TechCrunch
This week, PayPal released a new product called One Touch, a mobile checkout for merchants and app developers. The idea behind One Touch is that you'll be able to check out with literally one touch. You will no longer need to re-enter your credit card information at checkout. The product was originally developed by a startup company named Venmo, but with Paypal on their side, One Touch will be able to reach a larger audience. The new product is being launched into Beta with only a select number of merchants, but keep your eyes open as it will be rolling out more publicly in September!
Gear Up! The Holidays are Coming!
Article: UPS and Canada Post are Bracing for a Surge in Holiday Shipments as More People Shop Online
Source: Financial Post
With the busiest shopping season of the year, quickly approaching, shipping companies UPS and Canada Post are gearing up! Last year, UPS was overwhelmed with the sheer volume of packages shipped in the United States, which exceeded the company's projections. This resulted in some customers receiving packages past the holiday deadline. Although this problem wasn't experienced in Canada last year, they are still preparing by hiring 2,000 seasonal workers. Canada Post is also gearing up by hiring an additional 1,500 temporary employees to help with the growing popularity of Black Friday and Cyber Monday in Canada.

I am a woman with a size 12 shoe size. These are "mens Flip flops" but totally good for a woman because they arent big and clunky. They are great for men as well - I think a larger size woman foot is fine in these..
I first passed up on these because my expectations for "squishy" flip flops has been set by chintsy walmart grade flops. But my leather flip flops always end up as a disintegrating, stinky mess and I kept hearing about these so I figured I'd try them out.
Heaven for your feet
I wear these almost daily during warm weather. They look nice and are very comfortable and durable.

The Journal is reporting today that former Newcastle United chairman Chris Mort is prepared to return to St James' Park if Mike Ashley is willing to take the Newcastle club off the market.
Chris Mort – can he be enticed back to Newcastle?
The Journal says that the 42-year-old is willing to come back to Newcastle and run the club on a daily basis, like he did so successfully for 10 months to get the club going under then new owner Mike Ashley.
And his value to Newcastle was duly demonstrated after he left, when things just seem to fall apart, especially any relationship the Board had with Kevin Keegan.
We don't think Kevin would ever have left the club is Chris had still been Chairman.
There is some evidence that Chris became enmeshed in the passion that is Newcastle United when he was Chairman, and rather surprisingly has indicated to Mike that he would be willing to help repair the damage that has been done with Kevin Keegan being removed, and the fans subsequent revolt against the owner, which had Ashley trying to sell the club.
Mort has been working in America, but it is believed if he was asked he would take on the significant challenge of repairing the relationship with fans, that was badly damaged in the way Keegan was handled, and generally in which the club has been run over the last 4 months or so, since Derek Llambias came in.
While Derek is an efficient businessman behind the scenes, his communication with the huge Newcastle fan base is non-existent, and it just doesn't work not to have the Board communicate on a regular basis.
As we have pointed out a few times, there are a number of things Ashley must doif he wants to return and keep the club, and one is to replace Llambias. We think Chris Mort would be a very popular choice with Newcastle fans, because he did a great job while he was here, and was responsible for setting up the scouting system and youth policy, which has turned out to be so successful..
And the good news is that if Mort does return he would want it on a long term basis, so that Chris would again sacrifice his very successful lawyer career, to come up and put things right. His wife and kids continued to live in North London when he was here the first time, so we don't know if that would be the case this time, but presumably that could be worked out if Mike wants Chris back, and Mort would be willing to take on the rather significant challenge.
Chris seems to have tremendous abilities, and he is also a good communicator and certainly put a professional face on the club during his time at Newcastle.
We'd love to see him return as Chairman.
We'll run a poll to see if readers would like to see Chris back as Chairman.
Let us know what you think – comments very welcome.
44 comments so far
There was an article like this a while ago I recall and it turned out to be bullslocks.
I personally saw Chris as the face of Newcastle United. Very media friendly and seemed to pop up at least once a week on NUFC website.
Lambiarse or who or whatever he is, is just a face and im sure that prat was behind that statement about keegan which was put up on the NUFC website last september. Fact this Fact that.
He would not be a miss. Come home Mort you would be welcome, by me anyway. Still think Ash will be in the box on 10th Jan at West Ham match.
Mort more than Ashley gave the club a respectable feel after the takeover. He went through the books, worked out a plan for the owner – and left. There are people in this world who are sorters out and fixers, and others who are best at the day-to-day running of things. We know Mort is good at the former and that Lambias is poor at the latter. We don't know if Mort is good at the latter – but it's worth giving him a go and he can't possibly be worse than the current incumbent. I think he is a talented man but lawyers in my experience aren't good at running things – they are short-term problem-analysts and interpreters of situations – the long haul and management aren't usually in their frame of reference.
I predict several things in January and beyond. All very predicable of course –
a) Mort to return and the announcement that this is part of a recovery plan for Big Mike. Mike (through Mort) will state that he is willing to give it another go providing the majority will allow him and he will wait with baited breath for a reaction. If it's negative from the majority he will continue plans to sell otherwise it's a clean slate and we all move on (some of us grumbling).
b) Llambias will be paid off.
c) Mike will start attending games at the back end of January.
d) We will make 4 loan signings – two of them on the final day of the transfer window.
e) Xisco will go out on loan
f) Ameobi, Butt and Harper will sign contracts
g) Gonzalez sheepishly goes back home with his dodgy achilles and tail between his legs.
h) Cacapa moves on
Post- January
a) We win the FA Cup
b) Michael Owen commits to playing until retirement at the town.
c) Kinnear is offered a 3 year deal.
d) We finish 8th, the economy picks up in late July, cures are found for several diseases, developing world famine is eradicated and the world seems a better place altogether.
Merry Christmas lads and lasses, all the best for 2009.
The Nostradmus of the football world
I just want someone in at the top who genuinly wants to be here…not someone who wants to make a fast buck…I dont mind if Ashley stays just as long as delivers what he promised when he took over the club…
on the clubs roller coaster on the down bit I hated the whole set up..but I look now and think "well what has Ashley done wrong???what has Wise done wrong???Wise was responsible for bringing in Bassong (great signing) 2 Argies (great signings) Guthrie (Good signing) Xisco (still to be proven but looks like could be good signing), and plenty of the youth set up also… Wise was doing his job he was paid for (as we all do) and in my eyes he has done it well..
1) Ashley stay and give money to club
2) Wise scout
3) mort to come back
4) JFK gets us to Europe
5) Morhinio signs at end of season
6) Big Gaz Happy
Happy Christmas everyone
More than welcome is Mr Mort.
I take it Ashley is staying at least for the time being which will hopefully amount to some reasonable funds in the transfer window.
My hate of Mike has eased since the Keegan saga..but like everything the proof is in in the pudding..if he backs JK with decent money then I will be alot happier..critical window this one so we will see how it goes.
I can say that I was not filled with hatred of Mike A or Mr Wise. I got slated on here for daring to have the opinion against KK for walking away (again)
We have moved on and things are looking up. Life goes on and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
No one can argue on the signings that we have made under Mr Wise's wing.
Its time of bye gones to be bye gones and move on. If MA comes back to SJP then he comes back. Wouldnt bother me and I live for the toon through and through. End of the day he does own the club. With Mort back on the scene it would sort out the board room and JFK and Wise, Money etc the team we can only look forward.
Lets be optimistic as someone said yesterday We are Newcastle UNITED!
I still dislike and distrust Ashley and his cohorts but it's easier not to think about it when they're all slinking around behind the scenes. I'd welcome an olive branch in 2009 though. Just stop sliming about and talking to the nonsense-printers. Parts of our new machine seem to be working perfectly. Why not come out and say that, grab the club by the scruff of the neck and say 'right this is your club but it's also my club' this is how it will be done!'. Get some balls, some class and a decent PR team for Xmas Mike and you could be on to a winner at the town.
If Ashley is staying then the best thing he can do is bring back Mort as chairman for at least 3 years, buy/loan some quality players in January give JFK a 3 year deal so there's stability & maybe then Owen will sign for 3 years.
I have just seen that Sunday's game against LFC is to be known as Sir Bobby Robson Day I hope everyone turns up with scarfs & banners and brings the roof down with the noise, I wish I could be there but I will be watching on telly.
Merry Xmas to all NUFC fans & here's hoping 2009 is at last a great year for us.
Why people says he is good when people hates Wise.
Mort was the one who brought Denis wise.
He was the one suggested young policy and build the club as Arsenal.(this is good, but was the reason KK left)
He played major role in the return of KK that led to club's crisis.
After all, he is Ashley's man, leader of the so-called cockney mafia.
Make no mistake, i like him.
i was reminding people that supports Kk and wants MA out, he is culprit too if Ma is culprit.
Sirjasontoon et al:
Appreciate we all want the team to improve BUT lets learn from the last window.
If all we had signed was Jonas, Bassong and Guthrie and has spent around 5.5million everyone would be furious – despite how good they now have proven to be.
Lets hope we are no longer concerned about the amount of money but the quality of the signings. The team has performed well so far lets hope it continues.
Merry Christmas one and all.
What, did he get layed off due to the financial crisis or something ?
What exactly was it he did again that was so great ?
Hate to disagree but what we need is a guy who has a track record in the game, some one with both knowledge and contacts, not another on the job learner.
Ashley , if he is going to hang on to the club should have by this time learned by his mistakes.
Unless he wants a hands on role he should find a qualified football guy to operate the club and provide what he can afford to put out a decent team that can entertain and compete.
Not a lot to ask !
Just another piece in the carefully-planned and even more carefully orchestrated PR campaign to get the fat cockney tshirt salesman back through the door.
Mort would be an improvement on the silence of the Llambias – bit the Dwarf would still be stinking the place out….
What we need back more than anything is Sir Kevin.

text: Category Events - United Kingdom, York Fulford Arms presents THE PRIMITIVES 'Lovely' 30th Anniversary Concert + support The iconic debut album by The Primitives celebrated thirty years on. Fronted by indiepop blonde bombshell Tracy Tracy, The Primitives emerged from the independent scene of the mid-80s that also spawned The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, The Wedding Present and Primal Scream. Their sound distilled the shimmering guitar jangle of The Byrds, the buzzsaw style of the Ramones and 60's girl group melodies into two and a half minute pop gems. The Primitives were regular session guests on BBC Radio One's John Peel radio show and they had a career boost when Morrissey named them as one of his favourite bands. Their widely acclaimed first album, 'Lovely', made them the UK's indie darlings, while the huge success of the single 'Crash' saw them cross over to a mass audience. 'Lovely' also featured the singles 'Thru the Flowers', 'Stop Killing Me', 'Way Behind Me' and 'Out of Reach'. Further chart success followed, along with two more studio albums, 'Pure' and 'Galore', before the band called it a day in 1992. In 2008, Mojo Magazine voted The Primitives' second single 'Really Stupid' one of the Top 40 UK indie singles of all time. In 2010 The Primitives reformed after 18 years resulting in a new album 'Spin-O-Rama' on Elefant Records. We are happy to be welcoming them for a special intimate show Tickets £13 advance £15 OTD

Around six months ago, Ty and I killed the green wallpaper in our dining room (Hallelujah Chorus ... in unison everyone), and repainted it a golden beige with an orange ceiling. I adore it.
1. I want curtain panels to be patterned but the same color as the wall. This will add some interest to the room, while keeping the focus on the lovely ceiling.
2. I want chairs to be comfortable, plush and bring in some new interest and color for the eye.
3. I'm still looking for a square rug ... suggestions are welcome!
So, I've set my heart on this fabric for curtain panels. The color matches the walls perfectly, and I think the pattern adds the drama I'm looking for. It's delightful when you have something in mind and then actually find it!
But when it comes to fabric for dining room chairs, I've become non-committal even though I have a fabric I think I like above the others. Your help is necessary!! I'm going to share my top four choices (in order of preference) and hear what you have to say. I'll show you what the fabric looks like on the chairs and the actual fabric swatch because they can look drastically different.
1st Choice - Augustine Amber
I really like this fabric, too. But I worry that it would be way too much beige when it all came together. It's a little heavier look than I like.
3rd Choice - Palomar Sand
I have three images for this one, and truthfully, I don't know if this fabric is even available.

10 Shocking Trends in Online Fraud
Online fraud is one of the fastest growing forms of crime, reaching epidemic proportions in a nexus of technology and cruel anonymity that defies international borders. The highest instance of fraud attempts are now aimed at businesses, violating their often-weak or nonexistent firewalls to access customer financial data, and using it with impunity.
In a recent report by IDology, 66% of organizations polled reported suspected online fraud attempts in the past 12 months, and 35% reported an increase in those numbers. As more and more consumers conduct commerce over the internet, and businesses adjust to the digital age reality that an online presence is more important than a retail store, the sharing – and potential misuse – of consumer information online is at an all time high.
In fact, 78% of attempted fraud violations occur in website applications, as savvy criminals commandeer your financial information, and then cash in with a customer-not-present business, which operates via telephone or online transactions.
Here are 10 common online scams to be wary of:
1. ScareWare Scams.
An error message or warning pops up on your screen claiming the computer is infected with a virus and then the bad guys offer a program to fix it, for a price of course. This often happens when the user clicked on a scam advertising banner or allowed a download. If you don't fix the ScareWare problem with a legitimate antivirus program, it could slow down your computer, or worse.
2. Hit man Email.
You open an email and read that it's allegedly from an assassin, who will come after you unless you pay him money. Though it sounds unbelievable, people actually fall for it.
3. Fraudulent Links.
It's so easy to get a malware program or virus uploaded to an unsuspecting consumer's computer, just by posting fake links. The links claim to be for something common place and safe, but once clicked will start a malware delivery.
4. Inside Information Stock Scams.
Emails are sent to the masses claiming to know some inside information about a company's upcoming windfall, attempting to inflate the price before the bad guys sell off their position.
5. Lottery Winner Scams.
Emails announce that the recipient has won a large sum of money, and needs to file registration fees or disclose financial information to facilitate the transfer.
6. Reshipping and Payment Processing Fraud.
A complex game of illegally laundering money for criminals and shady organizations, in which the unsuspecting recruit is becomes legally and financially responsible.
7. Shopper Needed Check Fraud Scam.
The consumer is "hired" as a professional shopper, and sent a check for a few hundred dollars. They are instructed to cash the check, taking their portion and then forwarding the rest on to their employer in the business. Of course the check bounces but the victim already sent money from their own account.
8. Greeting Cards Scam.
An email arrives with a greeting card from a family or friend, but once the user clicks on it, it instantly takes you to booby-trapped websites that start downloading Trojans and other malicious software into the computer.
9. Nigerian 419 Scam.
This older scam tried to collect advanced fees from the recipient for some future transaction, similar to the Lottery Winner scam. They may claim all sorts of hardships, love affairs, business opportunities, or even to be a Prince ready to reclaim their throne, as long as you can help them out in the interim!
10. Phishing Scam.
These are scary – and surprisingly effective. Clicking on a link or email brings you to a site that claims to belong to a well-known financial institution or e-commerce site (like a fake banking or eBay site.) But when the consumer enters their information (or login and password to the real site) they'll find their accounts have been cleaned out.

Scary times are here this seems extreme to me, troops on the streets? Coming half way through her so far disastrous election campaign. On the 22/06/2017 at 22:33 killing 22 people!
Theresa May said speaking of the Manchester attack:
"I do not want the public to feel unduly alarmed. We have faced a serious terror threat in our country for many years and the operational response I have just outlined is a proportionate and sensible response to the threat that our security experts judge we face. I ask everybody to be vigilant and to co-operate with and support the police as they go about their important work.
"I want to end by repeating the important message I gave in my statement earlier today. We will take every measure available to us and provide every additional resource we can to the police and the security services as they work to protect the public.
"And while we mourn the victims of last night's appalling attack, we stand defiant. The spirit of Manchester and the spirit of Britain is far mightier than the sick plots of depraved terrorists, that is why the terrorists will never win and we will prevail."
Given that a "further attack may be imminent", as Theresa May told the nation tonight, the threat level has been raised to critical. That allows military personnel to be deployed on the streets of Britain to free up armed police resources to hunt down suspects.
In this statement Theresa May has said she would give " additional resource we can to the police and the security services" Meaning more new powers to the police and security services?
The timing of the "ISIS" attack seems pretty strange to me our government was under pressure and this attack has surely made the government stronger.
Troops are now being deployed on British streets to prevent other attacks, we're in trouble and (USA and UK funded) ISIS is not our only problem.

Rogan/Oil Painting on Fabric of Gujarat
Detailed write up
More pics
Other crafts
The history of roghan painting on fabric is centuries old. Roghan designs on cloth - with their embossed and shiny look - seem very similar to embroidery. The oil used for obtaining the pigment used in the painting is extracted from the seeds of the wild safflower: this is boiled for hours so that it becomes thick and oleaginous and is then coloured with pigments. The roghan or wax-like pigment so obtained is stretched onto the fabric by hand. It is then moistened with the fingertip and pressed onto the fabric. A special kind of dexterity is required to manipulate the roghan pigment threads on the cloth so as to obtain the required design.
This craft is practised by only a few artisans in Nirona, a small village in Kutch (Gujarat). The craft was earlier practised in Ahmedabad and Pattan, also in Gujarat, and in Nasik (Maharashtra). Roghan painted cloth was earlier referred to as Afridi Lac cloth. The designs found are geometric and floral with motifs of birds and beasts. Saris, furnishing and dress materials, book covers, and a whole host of other items are being embellished with roghan. Due to lack of support, the craft is not being taught to the next generation and so it is dying out.

"A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman" – Wallace Stevens
Ashwini Dodani – a successful digital marketing professional and a poet who breathes in experience, and breathes out poetry. Ashwini is a man who loves social media and acknowledges the power that it holds. When not at work, and not spending time writing beautiful poems, he's found with his dearest friends, often talking about how amazing Shahrukh Khan is.
This amazing man spoke to The India Diaries about life, career, poetry and this beautiful journey. Here's all that you need to know.
Q1. From being a marketing expert to an author. How has your journey been ?
"Life is a journey, not the destination." as Ralph Waldo Emerson says. Mine has been a mix of ups and downs as of most of the people because I feel no one is getting it easy in life, and those who are, mostly don't value it. It was a struggle to first convince my parents to let me pursue Digital Marketing as I am from an Engineering background but now they are more than proud of me for all what I have achieved and received. Author, ah every time I hear this word, it pumps me up. It's more about the feeling than the recognition.
Q2. Your book "Savoir Faire" is a collection of 40 poems about your life and experiences. Which of these poems has a special place in your heart ?
I have written more than 500+ short & long poems I think in the last 7 years and choosing 40 of them was really difficult to begin with. Out of this collection every piece is close to my heart because most of my writing comes from a situation, an inspiration, an emotion, love or empathy. An Ode to Poetry, The First Kiss, Let Go, She, Holiday, Winter and That Beautiful Kohl Eyed Girl are really close to me because they are either from dreams or real inspiration.
Q3. What inspired you to pursue your passion and publish this book?
If you are a writer or an aspiring writer, it's one of your biggest dreams to see your words in fine print, on paper, that smell of book, the ink spilled over in your own unique language, it gives you another level of high. I think simply put, the want to see my words and emotions reach paper and then to lives of people and help them heal inspired me to get published.
Q4. Your blog is one of the top 16 poetry blogs in India. What do you have to say about that ?
It actually came as a surprise a few years ago and the amount of motivation and boost it gave me to keep writing, be confident and improve is beyond words. I will always be thankful to baggout for seeing that potential in me. It kept me stable and humble at the same time.
Q5. Are you happier as an author or as a digital and social media professional ?
Happiness has a different definition for all of us and both these avatars of me are equally important to me because I am passionate about both poetry and digital. Both keep me motivated to learn and explore more. A happy author will definitely go digital and a happy digital marketer will always love writing.
Q6. You hold an MBA degree. Did you not want to pursue writing at that point in time ? Why ?
I was always a writer on my blog, if you still go to my website you will find a lot of writing – Poetry, Experiences, Philosophy, Spiritual Stuff and more. There are things we do for the stomach and then things we do for our soul. I chose Masters and Marketing to feed my hunger and poetry to feed my soul.
Q7. Do you plan on publishing another book soon ?
I am on Page 1 of Book 2 as of now. Let's see.
Q8. How do you maintain a balance between marketing and writing ?
I actually don't have to maintain a balance because both help each other. My learning from marketing helps me get better on making my book available/writing reach to better and effective audience and my learning from writing helps me get better on making brands sound beautiful.
Q9. The idea of being an author is still not accepted by many Indian parents. Did you face any problems on the family front when it came to writing ?
My parents always encouraged me by reading what I wrote since the start, they appreciated the depth I carried in my words and emotions. I casually kept talking to my mother about wanting to get published and the support I have got from my parents and family through the publishing phase is enormous. I love them for believing in me. They are super proud, today.
Q10. Any message that you'd want to share with young aspiring writers?
You have made the decision to write, never stop. Like they say never say never, I'd say never stop writing. Keep doing the WRITE thing. 😉

NY city council OKs fire department as primary ambulance service
By Lee Coleman
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — The City Council has voted in favor of the city Fire Department becoming the city's primary ambulance service, replacing a non-profit service that is running out of money.
The decision came late Tuesday night after a five-hour City Council meeting that featured a two-hour workshop, during which members of the public spoke for and against allowing the Fire Department to get into the ambulance business.
Mayor Scott Johnson cast the only vote against the measure, which will have the city Fire Department take over ambulance duties from Saratoga Emergency Medical Services.
"I can't support this, it's premature," Johnson said prior to the 11:20 p.m. vote. He said there are too many unanswered questions.
The mayor said he wanted to review the full, 50-page copy of an outside study done in 2007 that said an additional 10 firefighters would have to be hired if the Fire Department started making ambulance runs. He has only seen bits of it.
SEMS, a non-profit organization that has provided ambulance service to the city for several decades, is expected to cease operations later this month or early next month because of financial problems.
The council action directs the mayor to write a letter to the state Department of Health seeking a certificate authorizing the department to provide advance life support ambulance service to the city.
Fire Chief Robert Williams said financial projections indicate that the Fire Department would see new revenue — somewhere between $300,000 and $700,000 — if it provides ambulance transport.
The 55-member department currently has 45 paramedics or emergency medical technicians on staff and provides advanced life support services and other emergency medical services when it answers calls. The only thing firefighters can't currently provide is transport to the hospital, the one element that is reimbursed by insurance companies.
Public Safety Commissioner Chris Mathiesen, who strongly supports the department in its wish to become primary ambulance provider, said the city's temporary certificate of need would be good for only two years. He said if the projected financial benefits don't become a reality in that time, the city can end the program.
Williams' proposal is to add one additional firefighter and place into service a 2005 ambulance the department already has. A private or non-profit ambulance service would be hired to respond when additional ambulances are needed.
Accounts Commissioner John Franck questioned the revenue projections and other issues. But he was convinced to vote in favor of the measure because of a "sunset clause" that says the City Council will evaluate the program in 18 months and decide whether to continue it.

As part of the McNay's celebration of San Antonio's 300th anniversary, the Museum has organized a series of exhibitions of the drawings of Captain Seth Eastman, a West Point-trained draftsman who traveled to Texas in the late 1840s. These four exhibitions follow Eastman's journey down the Mississippi to New Orleans, across the Gulf of Mexico to Matagorda Bay, then up to San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country.
While Eastman's drawings of the Alamo and other San Antonio missions are famous and widely reproduced, the minutely detailed drawings he did on the first leg of his journey down the Mississippi are not nearly as well known. Drawings of the riverscape, steamboats, cities, and settlements give contemporary viewers a vivid sense of what it would have been like to travel down the Mississippi in the mid-19th century.
Captain Eastman's sketchbook is one of the great historical works in the McNay's collection. This is the first time in years that so many of the drawings will have been on view.
An interactive map in the gallery will enable visitors to follow Eastman's journey using excerpts from his journal as well as historical and modern-day photos of locations he sketched.
For press-approved images, please click here.
This exhibition is organized by Lyle Williams, Curator of Prints and Drawings, for the McNay Art Museum. Lead funding is most generously given by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Exhibition Endowment and the Arthur and Jane Stieren Fund for Exhibitions.

One of the best features is the new Website Administration panel or as you call it, the Content Management System. I have to admit I was skeptical at first, and was not sure that this would allow me to do what I'm used to doing using .html programs such as Front Page. However after a very short learning curve (20 minutes?), I found that it is very intuitive and far simpler than any program I've used in the past 12 years to update a website! I can actually make changes to the web pages on the fly, without connecting to the server, without dragging and dropping updated pages, and all else that goes with updating a website. I love the fact that it has a relatively comprehensive text management system, plus simple link insertion guides, and the ability to include images wherever I want to put them.
I also find the gallery management system to manage images to be very intuitive as well and easy to work with. We are appreciative of all the special touches and custom features that you built for us.
If you ask me, anyone can build a web site. Just look around the WWW and you'll find every kind of home-spun site imaginable. But to build a truly professional website that looks fabulous, is easily updated, and is fresh for many years to come - well, that's genius!
Thank you again for all you do for our company. You're surely our strongest business partner!

text: This is a well-played vintage 1975 Guild Bluegrass D-35 with hard-shell case.Here we have a heavily played and great sounding vintage dreadnought. There are numerous dings, chips and scratches. There is also visible pick wear around the sound-hole (see photos). The action is nice with a bass string of 3/32" at the 12th fret. There is a two-inch pickguard crack under the high E string. It is unrepaired but stable. The frets show wear up until about the tenth fret. The open chords are the heaviest, but I would estimate only about 50% wear. A good crowning/polish should suffice. The case is an extra hard-shell case that I had in my storeroom and smells like smoke. Overall a great playing sweet sounding vintage guitar ready to gig. If you don't want the case, I will provide a clean smelling gig bag.If you're looking for a solid investment that you can also have fun with, look no further.

2011 NBA Playoffs: Dallas Mavericks Advances To 2011 NBA Western Conference Finals With Sweep Of LA LakersBy Alex Jusi Madlangbayan on May 9, 2011 in Basketball, Sports, United States, World •
Dallas Mavericks became the first team to enter the 2011 NBA Final Four by sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs, according to a report by NBA.com.
Image Credit: NBA.com
Behind the record-tying 3-point shooting by Jason Terry, the Mavericks won via rout, 122-86, and ousted the two-time defending NBA champion Lakers in Game 4 on Sunday, May 8, 2011.
The second-round sweep by the Mavericks has dampened the distinguished career of Lakers' coach Phil Jackson, who is set to retire at the end of the 2011 NBA season.
Terry led the Mavericks with a team-high 32 points. He tied the nine 3-point playoff record shared by Rex Chapman, Vince Carter and Ray Allen. Terry missed only one shot from the three-point range for the night. J.J. Barea added 22 points, Peja Stojakovic had 21 and Dirk Nowitzki had 17 points. Stojakovic shot 6-for-6 from the 3-point range.
The Dallas team tied an NBA playoff record, set by Seattle in 1996, by shooting 20 3-pointers for the game.
The Mavericks now advances to the 2011 NBA Western Conference Finals and this will be the team's fourth appearance. They will now await for the result of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies series. As of writing, the Grizzlies is leading the series, 2-1.
Kobe Bryant, who earlier vowed to keep the Lakers train moving, scored 13 points in the first quarter on 6-for-8 shooting. However, the LA superstar went cold and only had four points on 1-for-10 shooting. He ends the game with 17 points on 7-of-18 shooting.
Lamar Odom got ejected with 9:06 remaining after a hard pick against Nowitzki. Andrew Bynum was also thrown out of the game with 8:21 left after giving an elbow to an airborne Barea.

Burt's Bees Baby establishes its first DTC digital channel powered by Demandware Commerce
BURLINGTON, Mass. — Demandware, a provider of on-demand e-commerce, has announced that Burt's Bees Baby, a specialty brand featuring natural, organic products for babies and moms, has launched a new e-commerce site, BurtsBeesBaby.com, on the Demandware Commerce platform. The new site represents the company's first direct-to-consumer channel and will be followed by a mobile site, also powered by Demandware, in the coming months.
"Our goal is to become the No. 1 organic baby brand in the world, and our new direct-to-consumer site is a major step toward making this a reality," stated Michelle Visser, CEO of Burt's Bees Baby. "With Demandware, we have a robust commerce platform that enables us to execute our merchandising strategies quickly and easily and will scale to support our company's growth. We're confident that with Demandware we have found a true partner who is as committed to our success as we are."
Burt's Bees Baby is a trademark of Burt's Bees Licensing, used under the license Ayablu. Burt's Bees is a manufacturer of natural health and beauty care products.
Items currently include apparel, bath linens, gift sets and accessories, with bedding to be added this coming July. The retailer also has plans to expand across the baby, home and lifestyle categories to include gear, playtime, furniture and seasonal items. Features such as a guided search, a baby registry, ratings and reviews, a store locator and integration with social media help consumers find and evaluate products quickly and easily.
Campaigners celebrate as EU set to ban animal testing for cosmetics
LONDON — A ban on importing and selling animal-tested cosmetics products and ingredients will enter into force in March. The ban affects all cosmetics, including toiletries and beauty products.
"I believe that the ban should enter into force in March 2013 as Parliament and Council already have decided. I therefore am not planning to propose a postponement or derogation to the ban," Commissioner Tonio Borg wrote in a recent letter to animal testing campaigners.
After more than 20 years of campaigning, beauty retailer The Body Shop, who will not be affected by the ban as it has always been against animal testing, and nonprofit organization Cruelty Free International are celebrating the end to animal testing for cosmetics in Europe. This means that from March 11 onward, anyone who wishes to sell new cosmetic products and ingredients in the EU must not test them on animals anywhere in the world, the groups stated.
To celebrate the victory, The Body Shop and Cruelty Free International stated that they are launching a range of special commemorative activities in the countdown to March 11.
The groups stated that the proposed ban sends a strong message worldwide in support of cruelty-free beauty, and to particular countries such as China, who still demand animal testing for cosmetics, to also respond and ban testing on animals.
"This is truly an historic event and the culmination of more than 20 years of campaigning. Now we will apply our determination and vision on a global stage to ensure that the rest of the world follows this lead," stated Cruelty Free International CEO Michelle Thew.
In 1991, the BUAV — founder of Cruelty Free International — established a European coalition of leading animal protection organizations across Europe, or ECEAE, with the objective to end the use of animal testing for cosmetics. This set in motion a high-profile public and political campaign across Europe spanning more than 20 years. In 1993, The Body Shop, the first beauty company to take action on animal testing for cosmetics, supported the campaign by enlisting the support of its consumers across Europe. Three years later in 1996, Dame Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, joined members of the ECEAE and MEPs in presenting a petition containing 4 million signatures to the European Commission.
In 2012, the BUAV established Cruelty Free International, the first global organization dedicated to ending cosmetics animal testing worldwide. The Body Shop, together with Cruelty Free International, launched a new international campaign, which has so far resulted in customers from 55 countries signing a global pledge supporting an end to animal testing for cosmetics forever.
Mintel: Moms, young women show highest usage of at-home nail care
NEW YORK — Moms and young women helped fuel sales of at-home nail care products, according to the latest research by Mintel.
Women in households with children are more likely to use most nail care products than those without children in their homes, according to the latest research by Mintel. This is particularly notable with nail art accessories where 24% of women with children report usage compared with 11% in households without children.
Moms are an important consumer group that might be tight on time and lack the extra income to spend at a spa but are still looking to treat themselves to some fashion-forward beauty. Furthermore, 79% of those with children use colored nail polish versus 65% without children, and 22% of respondents with children report using artificial nails as opposed to 9% without children, the study found.
"The beauty industry generally benefits when consumers have higher levels of disposable income; however, the nail care industry has experienced strong growth in recent years, despite the weak economy," stated Shannon Romanowski, beauty and personal care analyst at Mintel. "Nail polish offers women an affordable way to experiment with new colors and stay current with fashion trends, often for less than $10 a bottle. The affordability of nail polish, combined with new products and colors, makes nail care a reasonable splurge for lower- to middle-income women."
Young women also are helping to drive the nail care segment. Use of colored nail polish is highest among women ages 18 years to 24 years, with 85% reporting usage compared with 71% of total female respondents. Younger women also show elevated use of nail art (33% versus 16% of all respondents), artificial nails (23% versus 14% of all respondents), and gel nail polish (14% versus 10% of all respondents).
"Nail care users younger than 35 years are significantly more likely than their older counterparts to view wearing nail polish as a way to express their personality and follow fashion trends. Meanwhile, those between 35 years and 44 years feel that painting their nails is a way to pamper themselves and take a moment of 'me time' in their busy schedules," added Shannon Romanowski.
Expense plays a large role in why women do their nails at home, but it is not the only issue. Just over half (54%) of women say they would get their nails done more often at a salon, but it's too expensive; however, some 27% are concerned about health and safety issues at salons and 18% think getting their nails done in a salon simply takes too much time.
Nail care also may have a season. Not surprisingly, the sunshine and warmth sees a lot more painted nails as 58% of women say they polish their toenails more and 31% polish their fingernails more in the summer months.
The nail color and care market in the United States grew by 72% since 2007, with sales estimated at $2.5 billion at the end of 2012. Growth is expected to continue through 2017, albeit at a slower pace than previous years, with sales expected to reach just over $4 billion, according to Mintel.

Sweater Weather
Hello fashion lovers, what's up? Now that I have a job it's even harder to take pictures for this blog. I work 15 hour night shifts and when I come home in the morning all I want to do is sleep, of course. But luckily I did had a few minutes to take these photos. These past few days here have been chilly, but the sun is still up so i'm not complaining, perfect weather for a sweater.
I will keep it short today, so I hope you like it and have a nice day.

News Releases
GoCary Adds Sunday Service, Discounts for Students
Enhancements to Town's public transportation go into effect August 6
- GoCary will provide access to transportation seven days a week by adding service on Sundays beginning August 6.
- Frequency to increase on Routes 3, 4, 5 and 6 (buses run every half hour Monday-Saturday).
- Half-fare discounts will be available for students 13-18 years old.
Full Release
Cary, N.C. – Beginning August 6, GoCary will unveil service enhancements that make getting around town a whole lot easier. The Town of Cary is adding transit service on Sunday, providing transportation on all fixed routes from 7 a.m.-9 p.m.; service hours Monday through Saturday remain 6 a.m.-10 p.m. Door-to-Door customers will also have the opportunity to reserve rides on Sundays through 9 p.m., with last pick up at 8:30 p.m. for Tiers I and II and 7:30 p.m. on Tier III. Other changes include increased frequency on Routes 3, 4, 5 and 6, with buses picking up passengers every half hour Monday through Saturday; and half-fare discounts to students ages 13-18. These changes are part of the new Wake County Transit Plan that partners transit providers in the county to ensure regional mobility for all.
"Transit is a vital part of our community, and GoCary continues to improve the services we provide to meet the diverse transportation needs of our citizens as well as visitors throughout the region," said Ana Orlowsky, Transit Marketing Specialist. "Expanding our service gives citizens better access to employment, church services, and community events. Our participation in the Wake County Transit Plan provides us with significant funding to meet our goals of continued growth and success of GoCary now and into the future."
The Wake County Transit Plan was unveiled in December 2015 as the strategic regional transit vision, and was adopted by Wake County, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), and GoTriangle in 2016. The goals of the plan are to connect the region, connect all Wake County communities, create frequent and reliable urban mobility, and enhance access to transit. The Wake County Fiscal Year 2018 Draft Work Plan can be viewed at www.waketransit.com and outlines improvements to the WCTP partners, including GoCary, GoRaleigh, GoTriangle, and WakeTRACS systems.
GoCary service enhancements are funded via the one-half percent sales and use tax approved by Wake County voters on November 8, 2016 in support of the Wake County Transit Plan. Other funding to support transit initiatives includes federal, state, and local funds; farebox revenues; the Regional Transit Authority Registration Tax; and the new $7 Wake County Vehicle Registration Tax. GoCary's mission is to provide clean, safe, reliable and efficient transit service to the community by being responsive to changing needs and focusing on customer service as our highest priority. To date, GoCary has provided 2,779,567 million passenger trips for citizens and visitors of Cary since its inception in 2001.

5 Things Adoptees Need to Hear from You
Editor's Note: If there's one thing that the blogosphere has taught us about adoption and the experience of an adoptee, it's that the response is wide and varied. I don't know why that's necessarily a surprise considering that the response of being a human, in general, is wide and varied. Sometimes, because of that varied response, we see arguments with adoptees -- in real life and online -- because they're not happy enough, they're not angry enough, they're not something enough for someone. Amanda at The Declassified Adoptee wrote a brilliant post about the things you -- whether you're touched by adoption or not -- should say to someone who happens to be adopted. It's a list we all need to read and take to heart. -Jenna
5 Things Adoptees Need to Hear from Absolutely Everyone:
"I will embrace those whom you embrace."
I will not use my own lens of how I was raised or how I view family to tell you how to view yours. If your reality of having two non-biological parents, feeling you have four parents, or wanting to include your original parents in your life seems peculiar to me, I will understand that I need to investigate why I feel this way before I respond to you. I will do this to handle your feelings with care. I understand that your connections are important to you. Even if I do not understand your connections, they will be important to me because you are important to me.

Fans Celebrate 'Back To The Future' Day Across The U.S.
Entertainment| |
In Back to the Future II, Marty McFly famously travels into the future in an attempt to prevent disaster for his family. From October 26, 1985, he travels to October 21, 2015. The future is finally here on Wednesday. As the day approaches, fans and brands across the U.S. are preparing with several special events and promotions to mark the occasion.According to TIME, the profile is an interactive bot that will communicate with users when they message it. Feel free to give it a shot here! If you're really looking to get nostalgic, you can actually buy and drink the "Pepsi Perfect," the drink Marty ordered in the diner when he first arrives in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrwRdzFP-fY On Wednesday, Pepsi will offer 6,500 of the limited-edition bottles on its website. Some bottles are already available on eBay from a small amount that were given away at New York Comic Con last weekend. For sports fans, an eerie prediction is in the midst of unfolding. In the movie, the Chicago Cubs are World Series champions. In real life, the Cubs are currently playing the NLCS (though down 2-0 in the series to the Mets), but you can get your Marty McFly on (like the guy below) and hope that if we can't have hoverboards, at least maybe the Cubs can finally end their long-running championship drought.
In the New York City, cab service Lyft is offering free DeLorean rides from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. using a special "McFly Mode" toggle on the company's app. The DeLorean is, of course, the famous gray car Doc Brown used to travel through the time stream. (Lyft spokesmen declined to comment on whether the free rides Wednesday would be time-travel capable.) Lyft is partnering with Universal and Verizon for a special #WhyNotWednesday, Verizon's attempt to create its own #ThrowbackThursday viral campaign. (Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOsM-P-WSAo Elsewhere, a Facebook profile for a Doctor Emmett Brown popped up Monday on the social media site with an ominous message for fans. "It works! IT WORKS! I'm back in 2015 and need help. MESSAGE ME NOW!"
It works! IT WORKS! I'm back in 2015 and need help. MESSAGE ME NOW! Posted by Doctor Emmett Brown on Monday, October 19, 2015
Like this Cubs' fan, if you're interested in getting that perfect MCFLY!! look for Halloween, you can't go without these officially licensed (sans a Nike endorsement) self-lace-up, light up "Nike" Air Mag shoes. The shoes really do light up. They don't, unfortunately, have power laces. We guess not all predictions can come true. Regardless of your favorite part of Back to the Future II, there's plenty of ways to celebrate on Wednesday.

Students at nearly half of the District's public schools are entitled to switch schools under the federal No Child Left Behind law, according to test scores released yesterday, but D.C. officials said such transfers will be highly restricted because there are not enough open slots at higher-performing schools.
Sixty-eight of the 149 city schools that were assessed failed for the second year in a row to make adequate yearly progress in reading and math, as measured by the Stanford 9 tests administered in April. Under the federal law, those schools now are deemed in need of improvement, and their students must be offered the option of transferring.
But school officials said many students, especially at the secondary level, cannot be accommodated if they seek transfers. Among the city's 15 traditional high schools, all but three are classified as needing improvement. The remaining three -- Banneker Senior High School, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and the School Without Walls -- are magnet schools that have special admission standards and are not open to students who don't meet those criteria. And 18 of the city's 20 traditional middle and junior high schools are in need of improvement.
Children at such schools also are entitled to free tutorial services, and school administrators suggested that secondary school students seek that assistance in lieu of transferring. They said they would try to accommodate as many transfer requests as possible from elementary students, giving the highest priority to low-income children who are identified as the lowest-performing.
"While we made some progress, particularly in the elementary grades, to keep up with No Child Left Behind targets we are going to have to do much better," said Interim Superintendent Robert C. Rice, who has led the schools since April.
"At this pace, the District will fall behind, and that is not acceptable," he said. "Everything we are planning for next year is aimed at raising our students' achievement in literacy and numeracy."
Yesterday's announcement was a stark reminder of the immense challenges facing the 64,000-student D.C. school system. The system's overall performance levels on the Stanford 9 exams, particularly in reading, remain among the lowest in the nation, even when compared with other large cities.
The results also illustrated the limited reach of the 2001 No Child Left Behind law in providing options to students stuck in academically troubled schools. A U.S. Department of Education official acknowledged yesterday that the student-transfer provision is not practical in districts where a large percentage of schools are failing.
"This is not a problem you can solve overnight," said Nina Shokraii Rees, deputy undersecretary for innovation and improvement. "D.C. should have been preparing way ahead for this possibility."
School districts that do not have spaces for transfers still have options, Rees said, including asking other districts to accept their students, encouraging students to participate in "virtual learning" through the Internet and breaking up existing high schools into smaller "schools within schools" under different management. She also noted the District's federally funded voucher program and its abundance of public charter schools.
The New York and Chicago school systems have had similar problems accommodating transfers. Last month, New York officials announced that transfers would be restricted because of a lack of space at higher-performing schools.
In the Maryland suburbs, 35 of Prince George's County's 197 schools were classified this year as needing improvement, and no other school system had more than 10 schools in that category. Virginia school officials have yet to announce their results for this year.
The performance of the District's student population as a whole is consistent with results in recent years. The District recorded slight increases this year in the proportion of elementary school students who are proficient or better than proficient in reading and math and of high school students who are proficient or better in reading.
John F. Jennings, director of the Center on Education Policy, an advocacy and research organization based in the District, said the results are sobering but not cause for despair.
"Urban schools can do better, even with the heavy demands of No Child Left Behind," he said. "What this shows is that the D.C. schools are not in good shape."
Jennings, however, praised the District for its rigorous, comprehensive annual testing -- of all grades from third through 11th -- and for setting high, meaningful targets for achievement. The federal law gives the District and each state flexibility to set its own benchmarks for test-score progress.
The test data add urgency to the search for a superintendent to replace Paul L. Vance, who resigned in November. Top city officials are meeting again with two applicants -- Superintendent Eugene T. W. Sanders of Toledo and State Superintendent Robert E. Schiller of Illinois -- who were first interviewed on July 23.
Last year, 15 D.C. schools were on the "in need of improvement" list. But William Caritj, the assistant superintendent for educational accountability and assessment, cautioned that much of the seemingly dramatic increase in that number can be attributed to new, tougher standards to assess progress.
Under new federal rules, various demographic groups -- such as African Americans, disabled children and students not fluent in English -- must meet test-score targets in order for the school as a whole to make adequate progress.
Therefore, some schools that had above-average test scores overall were deemed as not having made adequate progress because their special-education students did not meet the targets. Hardy Middle School and Francis Junior High School, both in prosperous areas of Northwest Washington, are among those schools.
Robin B. Martin, a mayoral appointee to the Board of Education, said that because the adequate yearly progress calculations do not always identify the poorest-performing schools, a transfer will not necessarily help a child. "If you allow someone to transfer, you really don't know if the school they are going to is a better school, even if it is a receiving school," he said.
A school that fails to make adequate progress for four straight years can be subjected, under the federal law, to corrective actions that include replacing its staff, privatizing its management and even closing the school and reopening it as a charter school.
Tommy Wells, who represents Wards 5 and 6 on the D.C. Board of Education, said the federal law imposes new requirements without providing funds to meet them. "It continually forces the school system to try to allocate and prioritize its resources to go to the lowest-performing schools and students, which means that we have less money for the schools that are doing what they are supposed to be doing," he said. "And so it will be difficult to maintain the higher-performing schools."
Susan M. Aspey, a spokeswoman for the Education Department, countered that the District's share of money under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 -- the major source of federal funds for public schools -- has risen from $28.3 million in fiscal 2001 to a proposed $55.6 million in fiscal 2005.

A New York City Vision
For those who are still celebrating Memorial day here is a selection of drawings which immortalise NYC: present and future.
Future, present and past have always been fundamental concepts in every phase of developing which the history of New York City has faced. Things here change very fast, although others never change. Through the works above artists and architects have explored the multitude of ways by which they envision the city as developing, whether its through elevating the plan grid so that it slices through buildings or by implementing Public Space Skyscrapers.
