So much has been written and tweeted this weekend about the impending dissolution of the Big XII depending on how Nebraska responds to the ultimatum launched by the University of Texas last week. I know, I know...officially it's being delivered by the Big XII conference, but really at it's core, this one is coming from Austin. It's rather ironic because I think when this story began earlier this winter, I felt this was a defensive move by Nebraska in reaction to moves being made by others in the conference.
So how the heck did Lincoln become the epicenter of this battle? Certainly Texas has been playing both sides of this battle by using their position to drive the debate in their favor. It's interesting to read the reports of Chip Brown, who now writes for the Texas Rivals.com web site. While his initial report of the Pac-10's push to invite the Big XII South has been corroborated, much of the rest of his reporting seems to give the impression of a vendetta against Tom Osborne. He continues to be the only media outlet that seems to doubt that the Big Ten is interested in Nebraska for whatever reason. Nevermind the fact that this story wouldn't even be happening if there weren't some substance behind the Nebraska/Big Ten report. Nevermind that numerous reporters (much closer to South Bend, I might add) continue to report that Notre Dame is not budging at all in resisting the urge to join the Big Ten.
Yesterday, he tried to insinuate that Osborne's dislike of the spread offenses now in vogue in the Big XII was driving Osborne to move the Huskers to the Big Ten. (Later, he said it was merely a retweet from the Texas Tech Rivals' site...but that original tweet is nowhere to be found.) Today, he tweeted about "Tom Osborne's disgruntled view of Texas" and how it came to"infect the perception of the relationship between UT and Nebraska."
So what's going on? Osborne offered the following quote to the Lincoln Journal-Star on Saturday evening:
When is "eventually", and what are these facts? Hard to say, but I think it will be a few weeks from now. I think we're in for a couple of stressful weeks here as a huge game of chicken is being played between Lincoln and Austin. The administrations at Nebraska and Texas will probably discuss matters, but frankly, that ship may have already sailed. The time to address Nebraska's concerns was prior to delivering an ultimatum. Make the Big XII a better conference, and nobody is considering other options. That didn't happen, and instead Texas offered up the ultimatum. But how does this ultimatum really solve Nebraska's concerns with the Big XII? It just fuels the seeds of disagreement and makes a dysfunctional relationship even more so.
I'm surprised nobody has suggested to "stay together for the kids." I have no doubt in my mind that Nebraska will come out of this ok. Texas will be fine as well. But Iowa State, Kansas, and Kansas State? They may be irreparably harmed by this issue. Colorado may end up in the Mountain West, and frankly, that's probably where they belong anyway.
In the end, I think this Friday's deadline will come and go, and Nebraska will receive an extension of a few more days. At some point in the next couple of weeks, unless someone comes up with an 11th hour plan to improve the revenue stream for the Big XII and the perception of Texas dominance of the conference (which hasn't been helped in the last week, I might add), Nebraska will eventually bolt for the Big Ten. It's a move that makes sense both athletically and academically for Nebraska.
It may be tough on tradition, but I don't think Texas has left Nebraska any choice in this matter.

Build Your Own Online Forum Community
This isn't one of the most obvious ways to make money online, which is precisely why it is something of an untapped market for generating an income from.
There are plenty of subjects you could tap into for building a worthwhile forum – all you need to do is choose one that you already have a good deal of knowledge in. Alternatively you could add one to a site you have now, which can be an excellent way of monetizing your existing traffic.
A forum or community is also an excellent way of providing more value for your visitors. They have a reason to return to your website because they know there will be regular fresh content on there. That same fact will also mean the search engine spiders will tend to visit your site more often too, which can eventually result in a higher ranking.
Want to know more? Read on!
Building a forum or community can take a bit of effort initially, but there are a lot of rewards to be had. It might also be a lot cheaper than you think, since there are plenty of providers who will let you have the software and hosting you'll need completely free of charge. Have a good look round the internet to see which ones appeal to you the most before deciding.
That's all very well, but how do you actually make money from this?
Well it does depend on the subject of the forum, but you can charge a fee for people to gain access to it if you provide them with decent information and there is something worth gaining for the money. Some news related sites charge a fee for access which encourages people to visit the site on a daily basis, but obviously your site might be on a completely different subject altogether.
You could also think about building a community or forum where basic membership is free, but in order to get access to premium features you would need to pay a small monthly fee. This strategy often gets a better take up rate as people get the chance to sample what the site is like before deciding whether or not to pay the extra money. A good example of this (albeit one on a large scale) is the Second Life virtual reality site, where membership is free but in order to take part on a larger scale and gain access to better features you need to pay the monthly amount stipulated.
You can see that it's a good idea to do your homework before getting involved with anything like this, because you want to make sure your paid membership options are desirable enough to bring in the customers. If you end up giving your subscribers something they can get elsewhere at no cost whatsoever, then there is no reason for them to carry on subscribing with you. That's a good point to bear in mind when you get started; if your subscriber drop out rate seems rather high, you might need to reconsider what you are offering.
Some people also offer membership only websites which have a members' only forum as part of the overall package. These are usually based around a popular subject but go into it in more depth and offer unique content that can't be found anywhere else.
For example, there is plenty of content out there about writing and selling e-books, but there is at least one person offering a members' only site that goes into the whole process step by step, sharing their own success of writing and selling e-books in an in-depth fashion. This is the kind of format you want to aim for.
So if you have some ideas on creating a forum, community or members' only site of your own, why not start making steps towards making them a reality? You might find those ideas hold a monthly income for you that you only need to start tapping into.

I'll bet five dollars that you are looking at my blog just because of the title. Because it's shocking. Don't feel guilty. Who doesn't love a good arresting title? We've all done it. Looked at something just for the shock value. Clicked on a blog thinking "Oooohhh… DRUGS!! This sounds controversial. I wonder what they'll say!". And to be honest, I named my blog "Drugs, alcohol and rock and roll" just so you'd read it. Please do forgive me. I'm just that devious. But hey… since you're already here. Stick with me for a minute.
Let me make a confession… I have often felt in my life that to get the attention of the world, I have to be shocking. To really change the world, that I need to be a more… how shall I put this?… alarming person. That I need to have a big testimony, raise people from the dead, wear toms, and bewail my colored past of drugs and association with the occult. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I don't have a colored past, I was raised in a Christian home, and I have yet to raise someone from the dead. I do, however own a pair of TOMs. I guess that's something.
But the point is, I am not that controversial of a person. And the most shocking thing about me is probably the way my hair looks when I wake up in the morning. *sigh* I guess that's that. I can't be much of a world changer. I'm just not shocking enough… right?
In our media saturated culture, it seems that to be influential, we must be shocking. But here's the deal, God doesn't care about shock value, He cares about your heart and inward integrity with him. Whether it be a flashy testimony, or a life of loud righteousness… That's not what counts.
Exhibit A:
"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.- Matthew 6:1-4
Loud acts of righteousness are all fine and good, but what God truly cares about is your HEART, your FAITHFULNESS, and your OBEDIENCE. The world will reward you for what you do in public, but God will reward you for what you do in private. The day by day decisions that make you who you are. When you choose love when it hurts, forgive when they don't deserve it, give when you are empty, pray when it feels like it's just hitting the ceiling. God sees every single choice you make, and will reward you for it.
"That's all fine and good, Joyness," You say "But, have you noticed that crowds of thousands hardly get saved by hearing a testimony about doing the dishes when you don't feel like it. Not exactly an ear-gripper."
I have struggled with this, being a home schooled, happy childhood, pure girl. Surely no one will be won over by my testimony, right? But here's the thing… People don't become Christians because of great testimonies, they become Christians because Christ is working in their hearts. It really has nothing to do with you.
Testimonies of dark pasts redeemed by Christ are incredibly powerful, and I'm not cheapening that at all. If you have a powerful testimony, me oh my! Go forth and win souls! More power to ya! But, I think the important thing to remember, is that the power of ANY testimony is God. That what makes our lives amazing is not the shock of sin, but the truth of grace. Without the call of the holy spirit, the cleansing of Christ's blood, and grace and guidance of God… there wouldn't be powerful testimonies!
Which leads me to exhibit B:
"He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God"- Micah 6:8
God doesn't call us to be shocking. He calls us to walk with Him, humbly. And when you do God will work through you, in that completely humble state. It's okay to be innocent. It's okay to have a "boring" Testimony. It's okay to be just who you are. As long as you are walking humbly with God, he will use you in a miraculous way. Drugs and alcohol testimony or not.
In fact, sometimes the most influential testimony is that of a clean and dedicated life. The more I have gotten out into the real world, the more I realize that my "boring" "buttoned up" testimony is stranger than one of drugs and sex to people out in the real world. Innocence and purity is such a strange thing to our culture, that when people see it, they want it. People have never experienced the cleanness of an unmarred life, and there is nothing more appealing to many people. To be unashamedly clean, redeemed, innocent and pure is truly one of the most shocking things in our culture. If you can, embrace it! And use it to draw people into Christ.
The world wants us to be loud to get it's attention… But when did the world ever get anything right?
To conclude. Let me tell you a story.
It was an ordinary weeknight, and I was at a Chipotle with a gaggle of friends and a couple of people I didn't really know. I had hitched a ride with someone I didn't really know because my car was being rude. On the ride home, after lots of taco eating, the girl I was riding with, suddenly told me every shocking thing about herself. I just sat there and listened. And nodded and listened, and loved her.
After that night, there was this connection and chummy friendship and camaraderie between us, and I believe the start to something of a healing for her. There was something shocking about that night. But it wasn't the shock of her story. It was shocking, because God taught me, in a small way, to love like He does. Unconditionally. It shocked me. It shocked her. And that's how beautiful stories of God's redemption happen. It's not the sin and brokeness that's shocking, it's a life filled with God and his grace and mercy.
So. If you must. Live a life that's shocking. But just remember, that the most shocking thing in the world is letting God live through you. Walking Humbly with Him… That is more shocking than all the drugs, alcohol, and rock and roll in the world.
All for now.

The story behind Cat Power's upcoming record Sun is always followed by a mention of her break-up with long-time boyfriend actor Giovanni Ribisi. Honestly speaking, Chan Marshall's private life has always been a thing I'd like to know a little but not as much as I would like to explore her discography. Quite hesitant to sound like a fanatic but You Are Free and The Greatest are two of the few records that could easily transport me to different set of mind.
After 2008's Jukebox, containing mainly of covers, Cat Power was last seen working with Manny Pacquiao in a song "King Rides By" for charity. As one of the most anticipated records, Sun took her to different places (listen to the places mentioned in the lyrics) and a hint of that record was shown via her Instagram back in December 2011.
Now, the first single from Sun is out and I will reserve judgement until I get the whole damn thing but what is noticeable is a change in the atmosphere and instruments used on this one (together with a banging do) which could mean a totally different aura for Sun. Anyway, get "Ruin", it's free. If you like to see Chan in action, a video announcement is made for the single where you can see her spray painting barefoot and looking nothing but gorgeous.

Summary: Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) is a popular technique for the analysis of protein interaction. The procedure includes: 1) An antibody specific to the protein of interest is added to a cell lysate. 2) The antibody-protein complex is then precipitated usually using protein-G or protein-A sepharose which binds most antibodies. If there are any protein/molecules that bind to the first protein, they will also be precipitated. 3) Co-precipitated protein can then be identified by Western blot analysis or by sequencing a purified protein band.
- Co-Immunoprecipitation Assays (Lykke-Andersen Lab, Department of MCD Biology, University of Colorado)
Co-IP assays can be performed between endogenous proteins or transiently or stably expressed exogenous - usually tagged - proteins. The advantage to using endogenous proteins is the avoidance of protein overexpression and tagging that can lead to artifacts. The advantage to using exogenously expressed tagged proteins is the generally high specificity of the anti-tag antibody and the ease with which a negative control can be performed in which the exogenous protein is lacking.

The elements.
What wonderful treats they bring the outdoor runner, biker, walker, etc. this time of year.
Frozen toes, fingers, snot.....to name a few.
I know, I know, Atlanta is in the deep South. We're supposed to be warm, and welcoming.
Tell that to my neck gater. Poor thing's exhausted from all the use she's gotten this year. Once upon a time, I'd break her out like the good wine, once in a blue moon.
Now, it is every stinking run.
I am not complaining though...I like the elements.
I like the heat. I like the freezing cold. I like running in the rain. In the snow....
Why? 'Cause it makes me feel tough. And I am not tough.
At heart, at my core? A wuss, A scardey cat wuss who'd prefer sunny and seventy, thankyouverymuch.
The elements make me feel like the badass I am not.
I take my badass where I can get it...even if it means 8 miles in freezing rain.

You remember voting for players 91-100, right? About 22 months ago?
Well RDS is revealing the top 100 players as determined by their "democratic" vote.
After they got first choice on chunking players into the 100, then by groups of ten, RDS gave us the wonderful opportunity to select how to order the players within the top 10 (or in the case of the top 20, the whole top 20).
I do mock, but let's face it, at least they asked you. Some people just go ahead an publish these things, as if they have some sort of authority on the matter.
As it is such a fun occasion (well, admit that it is for guys who spent far too long making their own lists), I thought I'd share with you some other dissections of the top 100 Canadiens of all-time that should prime you right up for the RDS (I mean fans') verdict.
To start with, I wanted to share a few more lists with you. Below is a spreadsheet that contains the top 100 lists from Lions in Winter, Eyes on the Prize, Habs World, Ken Campbell's outrageously named "Habs Heroes: The Definitive List of the 100 Greatest Canadiens Ever" and one Ryan Coke's more off-beat (and by off-beat I mean Lyle Odelein is on the list) foray into the game. For those who thought we were mad with some of the inclusions we made, take heart in seeing that at the end of the day the authors of other blogs go just as mad in the course of list-making activities.
If you still haven't had your fill, then you'll want to use whatever spare minutes you have checking out the following sites to sate your historical urges:
Joe Pelletier's Greatest Hockey Legends – with profiles, stories and more
Puck Daddy – with a more humorous look at this night/year/5 years of celebration
Eyes on the Prize – with a list of links to his excellent in-depth articles on so many of the topics from across the century
Enjoy the coverage tonight. Enjoy the ceremonies and the history. I'd say enjoy the game, but that'd be a bit rich.
Happy century, see you tomorrow.

An MPD representative sent out the following just now about a failed robbery attempt at the Rite Aid (801 H Street). No one was injured, and a suspect is in custody.
On Tuesday, October 13, 2015, at approximately 0805 hours, a male suspect entered the Rite Aid store located at 801 H Street, Northeast, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with his hood up over his head. The suspect, with his hand underneath his shirt, approached the checkout counter and demanded money. The clerk ran off and the suspect fled the store.
Responding units from the First District began canvassing the area for the suspect and located a suspect matching the lookout provided by the store clerk in the 1100 block of H Street, Northeast. The suspect was stopped without incident. The suspect was positively identified by the store clerk and placed under arrest. There were no injuries reported. Thanks.

Jackson has been taking swim lessons for the past few months. Tony usually takes him while I go to yoga, but tonight I went as well so I could see how he is progressing. We have nearly come to the end of his class. It was awesome to see all the new skills he has learned. He loves to be in the water and we want him to feel confident and safe.
For dinner I made a recipe from American Vegan Kitchen, Tempting Tofu Dippers with Pineapple-Pomegranate Dipping Sauce. We love these crispy little tofu tenders and their sweet and sour sauce.
We also had a quinoa salad with tomato and feta, dressed with lemon juice and olive oil, baba ganoush with smoked paprika, and pita bread.
Off to the park to enjoy a sunny, warm afternoon!

The 62 acres of prime land that is Glissman Conservation Area was donated to the Dallas County Conservation Board by Hans Glissman in 1991. Hans was aware that the conservation board's philosophy of land acquisition was to preserve, enhance and protect the land through various resource management techniques such as forestry and wildlife practices. Hans wished to protect his land from land development and maintain its natural state so the partnership was a good fit for both.
Located in the Raccoon River Greenbelt area, on Panther Creek Road in Adel,there are 52.1 acres consisting of mid-age oaks and hickory woodlands. Approximately 2.5 acres are in grasslands and woodland areas. There is a 7.5 acre pond with lots of good-eating-sized pan fish. You will find good populations of wildlife and a wide diversity of plant species. Significant geological sites are also present. Recreational opportunities might include bird watching, hiking, fishing, picnicking and mushroom hunting.
Also located on the property is a house providing a panoramic view of the pond and valley. The house has been restored and is now used a short-term rental lodge.
The long term intention of the Dallas County Conservation Board is to increase the size of the Glissman land to eventually connect Pleasant Valley and the Kuehn Conservation Area.
The gate remains locked unless there is a interpretive program in session or the Lodge has been rented; to access the natural resources available, you must park outside the gate and walk in. Glissman is open ½ hour before sunrise and closed at 10:00 p.m. each day.

Ever wonder what it would sound like to hear Tom Cruise belt out the Guns N' Roses classic "Paradise City"? Well, you won't have to wait much longer: That track opens up the "Rock of Ages" soundtrack, which drops June 5.
In addition to "Paradise City," the star will also put his spin on a number of other rock classics, both solo and alongside the cast's other A-listers. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Cruise is featured on Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive," Foreigner's classic "I Want to Know What Love Is," Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me," Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," Poison's "Every Rose Has its Thorn," Scorpions' "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'."
The actor's singing abilities have been praised by his "Ages" co-stars, including Malin Akerman and Julianne Hough, as well as director Adam Shankman.
"We have definitely never seen him do this before. A lot of the joy in this for him was just the adventure of trying something that was so foreign," Shankman explained to MTV News about Cruise's part in the film, which opens June 15. "I think part of the reason that he said 'Yes' to doing it was that he was so stunned that he was asked, and he thought, 'Oh my god, of all the millions of things I've done in my career, nothing has ever been like this.' He's a guy who loves challenges."
The full track list for the "Rock of Ages" soundtrack:
» "Paradise City" - Tom Cruise
» "Sister Christian" / "Just Like Paradise" / "Nothin' but a Good Time" - Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin

A Sweet Life of Influences and Mentors: Pastry Chef Sherry Yard
Chefs to Know Fast Facts
- Pastry chef most admired: Little Debbie. She was the trailblazer for sweet treats!
- Favorite underappreciated ingredient: Alcohol, for levity and flavor
- Indispensable kitchen tool: Tongue
- Most Telling Interview Question: Do you want my job?
- Where you'd like to go for culinary travel? Argentina, just for an ice cream run.
- How do you describe your pastry? Focusing on the integrity of the ingredient. It's as simple as that.
From Girl Scout cookies to farm fresh raspberries, the influences in Sherry Yard's sweet career are myriad and many. Brooklyn born and bred, Yard has memories of rainbow cookies and Manhattan's Rainbow Room chocolate velvet mousse that have not only helped shape her culinary career, but also found their way into some of her iconic desserts.
Yard got her first break into the restaurant world at legendary restaurateur Joe Baum's then-famous Rainbow Room in Manhattan. But the position she landed first was that of a cigarette girl. Fortunately, it wasn't long before Yard made her way into Pastry Chef Albert Kumin's kitchen. Though the fledgling pastry cook was only at Rainbow Room a short time, she credits both Baum and Kumin as mentors from whom she learned showmanship and excellent techniques, respectively.
Working under Pastry Chef David Blom at Montrachet is where, as Yard puts it, she went from being a pastry chef to a dessert chef. She learned the nuances of fine dining, not to mention a healthy dose of pastry perfectionism. Yet again, her time in this influential kitchen was short; Yard was soon off to London on a culinary scholarship, a trip that not only exposed her to a taste of European dessert-making, but also marks a turning point in her aspirations to become a serious pastry chef.
Fellow culinary comrade (and future chef-icon) Michael Mina lured Yard westward to San Francisco in 1989. She quickly secured a spot in the pastry kitchen of Campton Place Hotel where she went from part-time pastry line cook to lead pastry chef. The cornucopia of California produce opened the Brooklyn-native's eyes to the beauty of fresh fruit and the flavors it imparts; Yard reveled in the bounty and started to find and define her own style of desserts.
The next phase of Yard's dessert development was in the wine country of Napa at Jan Birnbaum's Catahoula restaurant. Needless to say, Yard's virtually unlimited access to wine, the laid-back attitude of a more country lifestyle, and the rhythm of the harvest had a lasting impact on the pastry chef's dining philosophy. Her desserts turned toward comfort and homey-ness, and everything paired with wine.
Her success and long tenure at Catahoula wasn't unnoticed; in 1994, Yard was tapped by Wolfgang Puck himself to helm his pastry kitchen at Spago. She overhauled his dessert menu, streamlined it—she convinced Puck that soufflé could indeed be done a la minute—and soon became a devotee of the Santa Monica farmers market. It was the beginning of a new era of fruit-driven desserts for Yard and Puck encouraged her every step of the way to forge relationships with the farmers and get the best possible produce from them.
A trip to Puck's native Austria was another turning point in Yard's career. She staged and observed in multiple Viennese pastry kitchens and picked up one of her most well-known and beloved desserts, her version of the Austrian classic kaiserschmarren. A kindred spirit to Puck if there ever was one, Yard continues to lead his restaurant group's dessert and baking programs, overseeing everything from soufflés to last-minute wedding cakes to breads and confections—each one embodying a bit of flavor from Yard's sweet influences and mentors.

Just this week, Denmark introduced whats believed to be the world's first fat food tax, applying a surcharge to foods with more than 2.3 percent saturated fats, in an effort to combat obesity and heart disease. The new tax of 16 kroner ($2.90) per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of saturated fat in a product will be levied on foods like butter, milk, cheese, pizza, oils and meat. Of course, this has stirred up much controversy here in the US. Many people argue that the government should not have any influence in the food that they eat. Others argue that it is too expensive to eat healthy foods.
About one-third of adults (33.8 percent) and approximately 17 percent (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents age 2—19 years in the United States are grossly overweight. It is a known fact that obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and stroke. These disease processes are usually very costly to treat. Unfortunately, this puts a huge strain on the medical community and ultimately trickles down to all US tax payers, as we pay into government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid (Soonercare here in Oklahoma), and the SNAP program (foodstamps).
In my opinion, as a taxpayer and a healthcare professional who makes healthy choices on a daily basis, I believe that there needs to be some type of reform as well as focus on prevention. I also believe that the people who choose to eat these types of foods need to be educated regarding the risks and should take some ownership in their decision. Healthy eating isn't necessarily more expensive either. You can cut food costs by eating more meals at home, buying in bulk, and by making sure they feature some of the healthiest foods from your supermarket -- foods like whole grains, vegetables, and beans. I believe that we will see much more controvery surrounding these issues in the future. The focus should be on education and prevention.
What are your thoughts?? Would you pay more for foods that are higher in fat and sugar??

Cities have expanded and contracted for eons. The implication that any of the examples shown on this page of social change is caused by our energy policies is really ridiculous.
Last edited by Dan McCosh; 07-29-2017 at 10:58 AM.
When I read that, I see a picture of a city that failed to adapt to changing circumstances. Knowing what I know if the American car industry, and watching it fail to respond to several oil shortages while foreign-made cars offering better gas mileage made inroads into our economy, I see a failure to adapt and the inevitable decline of a society built on that old technology.The city of Detroit, in the U.S. state of Michigan, has gone through a major economic and demographic decline in recent decades. The population of the city has fallen from a high of 1,850,000 in 1950 to 677,116 in 2015, kicking it off the top 20 of US cities by population for the first time since 1850.[1] The city's automobile industry has suffered from global competition and has moved much of the remaining production out of Detroit. Local crime rates are among the highest in the United States, and vast areas of the city are in a state of severe urban decay. In 2013, Detroit filed the largest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history, which it successfully exited on December 10, 2014. However, poverty, crime, and urban blight in Detroit continue to be ongoing problems.
The deindustrialization of Detroit has been a major factor in the population decline of the city.
"Detroit rose and fell with the automobile industry." Before the advent of the automobile, Detroit was a small, compact, regional manufacturing center. In 1900 Detroit had a population of 285,000, the thirteenth largest city in the U.S. Over the following decades, the growth of the automobile industry, including affiliated activities such as parts manufacturing, came to dwarf all other manufacturing in the city. The industry drew in a million new residents to the city. At Ford Motor's iconic and enormous River Rouge plant alone, opened in 1927 in Dearborn, there were over 90,000 workers.
The spread of the auto industry outward from Detroit proper in the 1950s was the beginning of a process that extended much further afield. Auto plants, and the parts suppliers associated with the industry, were relocated to the southern U.S., and to Canada and Mexico. The major auto plants left in Detroit were closed down, and their workers increasingly left behind. When the auto industry's facilities moved out, there were dramatically adverse ripple economic effects on the city. The neighborhood businesses that had catered to auto workers shut down. This direct and indirect economic contraction caused the city to lose property taxes, wage taxes, and population (and thus consumer demand). The closed auto plants were also often abandoned in a period before strong environmental regulation, causing the sites to become so-called "brownfields," unattractive to potential replacement businesses because of the pollution hang-over from decades of industrial production. The pattern of the deteriorating city by the mid-1960s was visibly associated with the largely departed auto industry. The neighborhoods with the most closed stores, vacant houses, and abandoned lots were in what had formerly been the most heavily populated parts of the city, adjacent to the now-closed older major auto plants.By the 1970s and 1980s the auto industry suffered setbacks that further impacted Detroit. The industry encountered the rise of OPEC and the resulting sharp increase in gasoline prices. It faced new and intense international competition, particularly from Japanese and German makers. Chrysler avoided bankruptcy in the late 1970s, but only with the aid of a federal bailout. GM and Ford also struggled financially. The industry fought to regain its competitive footing, but did so in very substantial part by introducing cost-cutting techniques focused around automation and thus reduction of labor cost and number of workers. It also relocated ever more of its manufacturing to lower cost states in the U.S. and to low-wage countries. Detroit's residents thus had access to fewer and fewer well-paying, secure auto manufacturing jobs.The leadership of Detroit was not passive in the face of the adverse trends that developments in the auto industry posed. Because the city had flourished in the heyday of the auto industry, the city made periodic attempts to stimulate a revival of the industry within the city. For example, in the 1980s the cities of Detroit and Hamtramck used the power of eminent domain to level part of what had been Poletown to make a parking lot for a new automobile factory. On that site, a new, low-rise suburban type Cadillac plant was built, with substantial government subsidies. The new Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly employs 1,600 workers. In the 1990s, the city subsidized the building of a new Chrysler plant on the city's east side - Jefferson North Assembly - which currently employs 4,600 people. These efforts, however, were an uphill struggle against overall trends in the industry. In 2009 Chrysler filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, and survives in a partnership with Fiat SpA of Italy while GM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 1, 2009, and survives as a much smaller company - smaller now than Japan's Toyota Motor Company. A little over two years after these major blows to the U.S. auto industry, the city itself went into Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
Might start by noting that the article says that the spread of the auto industry from Detroit proper was in the 1950s, but then also notes that the Rouge complex was built in 1927--about ten years after Ford moved out of the city to Highland Park, and built the first modern assembly line. What it doesn't mention is that the mid-1960s represented the most explosive growth in population ever experienced by any major city. It is a perspective oft repeated, however.

When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave.
This has exceeded the usual thread drift, launched into a thread taking flight. Still, I think burning the city down in the midst of an economic boom had something to do with today's vacant real estate.
Rattling the teacups.
You would think some of those old abandoned factories and refineries would have been stripped for scrap metal.
There are pics all over the interwebs of abandoned Olympic venues. Ozymandias, indeed.

Smartwatch app may prevent falls
A new smartwatch app being developed at Binghamton University may allow certified nursing assistants to respond to alerts faster, researchers said.
The design from researchers was well-received by nursing experts, they said. Improving notification via the watch allows staff to respond to a resident sooner, especially when he or she needs to use the bathroom.
The app could replace a traditional call light system. As a nursing aide uses the watch and its app, they will sign in and add assigned residents.
"The message contains the resident's name, the type of alarm, the room number and the CNA who is responsible. The smartwatch will be on the CNA's wrist, so it's accessible all the time. They can see the message, hear the alarm, and feel the vibration, whether they are working down the hallway or inside the rooms," said Assistant Professor of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering Huiyang Li, Ph.D.
While the cost of having employees wearing smartwatches may seem cost-prohibitive, the researchers say the benefits would include preventing falls and skin problems.
"The CNAs are excited about this idea and they are interested in this device. They would like to see the adoption of new technologies in their working environment because all of the problems in their current situation," said doctoral candidate Haneen Ali
"Designing a Smart Watch Interface for a Notification and Communication System for Nursing Homes," was presented at the Human-Computer Interaction International Conference in Toronto last month.

HO! HO! HO! Merry Christmas..
yay!! This is my favorite month of the year :) well.. ALL happens in just 1 month. YES! My Birthday, Christmas, giving gifts, parties and of course BIG SALE! lol I know it freaks you out when December is coming. This season is one of the MUST go to SHOPPING season hahaha SALE is coming everywhere BIG DISCOUNT and FREEBIES. Though we don't have Black Friday here in Philippines but we have a MIDNIGHT SALE NATIONWIDE every DECEMBER. So this is the time to get ready and go shopping..
I'm sharing my MUST HAVE this Christmas!
1. First is this aztec print cardigan. I really wanted this since October but I cant find one here in Philippines. Though I can buy it through online but Im too scared to do that. I hate Expectation (I want to see it first), the shipping cost one dress (too expensive) lol and It takes a week to have it or worst it take forever to have it. Yah! there's too many reason why I hate online shopping, but in the other side you can always find a TRUST WORTHY Online shop that meet your satisfaction. :)
I found one similar to this at SM but It is just a normal cardigan but they have the same aztec print, sad to say I don't like the texture. I really want this style!! Long cardigan perfect for winter. If you wanted to buy, you can shop at Ebay, Polyvore and Loveitsomuch.
and I also wanted to have this Leather jacket
2. Im really obsess with sweater right now. Though I bought four sweaters last week but it wasn't enough. Yah! I splurge for sweaters and Im guilty about it. I cant help it because they're too comfy and a must have for this season.
I love the printed sweaters, You can find one at Forever21, Terranova and even in our Local store. What Im looking for is a Christmas sweater. Like this one..
Isn't that cute? grrr.. I want!!
3. This third must have is what Im chasing for 5 years now --HYPNOSE LANCOME. This was a gift from special someone before. The first time I smell it I fell in love with this perfume. Until now I cant get over it. It really smell so good, its like you're living in the lap of luxury lol. My mom and I always ask our family friend who sell authentic perfume if they have Hypnose Lancome available but dont don't have this fragrance. I already Email Lancome PH where I can buy Hypnose Lancome here in Philippines and they respond immediately that the Lancome Hypnose is not available for the moment.
Theres still hope!! there are too many individual who sell authentic perfume here in Philippines. But sad to know they dont have Hypnose Lancome AS OF NOW. I think this will be forever in my wish list. :/ Still chasing..
4. Speaking of scents my current obsession are CANDLES. Yes! SCENTED CANDLES!! Who doesn't love if your house/room smells like cookies, season, sweets, foods etc. It makes you craaaaazy!! I first hear it on YouTube my fave YouTubers always talks about scented candles. Though its quite hard to find scented candles here in Philippines and its kinda unusual to always have a scented candle in our home because other refer to use air freshener. I just wanted to share how it makes me feel good, it helps me to sleep well, it brings positive vibes. I totally In love with it. I swear you'll love it too.
What I wanna have is Yankee Christmas cookie scent. Smell very delicious, perfect for Christmas but Yankee is not available in Philippines, as well as Bath and Body works. :/ Though you can still find individuals who sell scented candle mostly on Instagram.
Good thing we have Mainstays available here (you can find it on Handyman). I love Pumpkin spice!
5. Shiseido Concealer -- gosh!! Mom and I totally freaks out when we first test it on our face and got home. The concealer lasts all day! it brightens your eye, it totally cover dark circle and acne. I am really amazed and you cant feel cakey. Two thumbs up for this!! yah! its in my wish list because it cost too much for me, for a tiny concealer? tsk! Impossible to splurge for this!! LOL But it is a must have..if you need concealer.
6. STUDDED BAG!! I know.. A very beautiful kind of bag, a studded one. I always wanted to collect bags but I get disappointed every time I keep them for so long because the bag always got flaws after a year. I think its the quality and the brand itself. I research about bags - if you wanted to have that bag forever you should buy an expensive one, you should know first the materials they used, you should know the different types of leathers and you should buy a bag from a brand that specialized bag. Though its gonna be a big splurge, but for sure it is going to be WORTH IT!!
I wanted to have a studded bag this year. I already told my auntie and my father about this brands.. lol I hope they'll give it to me before or after Christmas. #crossfingers
Either one of these..
Alexander Wang - Rocco Duffel
Valentino - Rockstud
Michael Kors - Selma Studded Saffiano Tote
Its okay for me to have replica as long as it is a REAL leather and Europe copy.

Introduction to the Process:
Placer gold is gold that has been weathered from lode or hard rock deposits and usually concentrated in the sand & gravel found in stream beds. Other placer deposits are found in sand & gravel deposits found in arroyos in desert terrains, in this case gold is concentrated by wind action. Prospecting for gold in either of these terrains is strictly dependent on how much money the prospector can expend. Equipment needs can be as simple as a gold pan and shovel and can be upgraded to heavy equipment and seismic surveys to determine the depth to bedrock and the velocity of sound through the
unconsolidated soil. This is used sometimes to find abandoned river channels.
|This is a placer mining dredge in action in Nome, Alaska in 1993 from the size of this dredge you can see that mining placer gold can quickly reach an industrial scale,
The difference between mining and prospecting in placer deposits is only a matter of whether the operator is only taking samples in an area or stays in one locality for the recovery of gold or other values. Mining also involves the use of more equipment then a simple gold pan and more sophisticated equipment for processing more sand & gravel per hour. This can range from a simple sluice box capable of processing up to a cubic yard per hour to gold mining dredges capable of processing thousands of tons of sand & gravel per hour.
|This illustrates the other extreme of gold panning for gold with a gold pan.
Placer mining takes advantage of the specific gravity (SG) of gold that is 19 making gold 19 times as dense as water. Most of the mineral grains composing sand are around SG 3 and are easily washed away by running water or high wind leaving the gold behind. Most gold is found close to bedrock or on top of an impervious layer of clay,.

My enduring love of Marc Jacobs (for what its worth)
A recent interview and review of Marc Jacobs's Lifetime Achievement Award at the CDFAs in the New York Times was a strange mix of backhand compliments with a bit of a bite. The compliments were of the he has achieved so much but isn't he a bit young to receive a lifetime award, almost concluding Mr Jacobs was no longer a hip go to designer. The upshot of the article was the loss of popularity of the brand.
Now there are things that Marc Jacobs does that irritates me, mainly because he and Sofia Coppola get into this obscure, retro discovery-itis and appropriate it to peddle as theirs. But that is just me, I like references but without smug superiority.
On the whole Marc Jacobs is too young to get such an award but equally he has been so prolific and influential, he has achieved a significant amount. He boundary pushing of the 'itis' that so annoys me is the very thing that has inspired a whole host of wannabes and young pretenders, who are perceived to be more trendy, fashionable these days.
The trouble with fashion is your crown gets stolen by young pretenders until they also end up burdened with the responsibility of retail and margins. Given the uber responsibilities of his own labels and Louis Vuitton, Mr Jacobs is really still at the top of his game.
I also feel there was a slight on his 'signature look' almost a view he didn't have one. But I share 3 loves with Mr Jacobs, polka dots, mixing vibrant colours together and jarring shapes. He does a mean cut in trousers and he still has another lifetime of fashion design to deliver.

I'm not so in love with this collection but I do believe that he is a genius.ReplyDelete
The collection he did for Louis Vuitton a couple of years ago was just so brilliant.
It is true he has come so far in such a short time and now he has 'grown up' he has to be responsible not just for his own companies but LV too. Many established designers face it, but I do wish they would throw caution to the wind still, every once in a while. I think he is brilliant though and also I like to look at his hansom face :-)ReplyDelete
Not one of my goals: looking like Sophia Coppola.ReplyDelete
Sorry, Sophia!
Dear Kate, I can always find something I like by Marc. I love Louis Vuitton too, if I only I could afford it xxReplyDelete
Thank you for commenting, much appreciated. Sorry about no longer offering anonymous comments but spamming had become a very annoying issue. xxx

Gothic Tattoos Designs
Return from Gothic Tattoos Designs to Demon Tattoos Designs Page
Unlike many other types of imagery, gothic tattoo designs isn't are not easily defined. That's because it can take on so many different forms. Before giving specific examples, it is best to explain what generally constitutes a gothic image.
Most of the time, gothic design imagery is dark - just like the hair, eye makeup and clothing of those who adhere to the gothic lifestyle. The imagery usually includes some sort of morbid feature - a gravestone, skull or cross, for instance. Oftentimes, an element of romance is added into the mix; hearts and roses are two popular examples.
Some examples of Gothic tattoo designs include cartoon-like renderings of skulls; many times, they include facial features that are reminiscent of living people. Wilted flowers are also popularly used in goth imagery; for added effect, they may be depicted atop a forlorn grave
Images of vampires are also popular, especially in light of their recent visibility in popular culture. Basically, anything that induces conflicting feelings of dread and love could possibly qualify as gothic imagery. It's easy, then, to create entirely unique illustrations and works of body art when trying to come up with tattoos and other types of design.
Gothic Images in Popular Culture.
Tim Burton - If you'd like a quick primer on what constitutes a gothic look and feel, go out and rent just about any Tim Burton film. The director has made his name by creating some of the most whimsical gothic tattoo designs and films in recent history.
Edward Scissorhands, for example, featured Johnny Depp as a decidedly gothic-looking man with scissors for hands; much heartbreak and woe ensues. However, a lot of comedy was included, too. A Nightmare Before Christmas, a claymation film, is also popularly used in gothic imagery. The Corpse Bride and Sleepy Hollow are two other top examples of Burton's decidedly dark work.
Anne Rice - From "An Interview with the Vampire" to a series of other immensely popular novels about a vampire named Lestat, Anne Rice has been adopted as the poster child of the gothic tattoo movement by many people.
Interview with the Vampire was adapted into a film that starred Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise; as impossible as it may sound, the movie actually did the book justice and was positively dripping with gothic tattoo images. Since Anne Rice lives in New Orleans, the town has been given a romantic, gothic identity as well.

(Another extract from my journal.)
July 12th, 2014 (Canadian time zone)
The world is too big. So many faces I've seen, but I won't even remember half of them.
We care so much about how people view us as, we forget to enjoy ourselves in the process. I try, I really do. But it's been this way for so long, it's hard to walk away and start again. But once you leave, it's the best feeling in the world.
Sometimes I can't help but wonder – am I a paper girl? Are we living in a paper world? We judge everyone's appearances so much. Some deny it, but it's something that just can't be helped. Once we see someone do something we deem as unworthy, we give them an unworthy label, even if we have no idea about the person's story. It's programmed into us. And as the older we get, we forget that they're human too, with thoughts and feelings. We focus on ourselves, because we are foreign, we feel foreign in other people's shoes; and it's all just too much for us. We are not fearless, we will never be; but some of us can be courageous.
That's pretty much it. As you can see, I'm not exactly a happy person in my journal. But then, who are we to judge anyways? We all have our reasons in which we think it's the right thing, or some of us are just too lost in the moment to realize. We're to blame anyways, some may disagree, but as long as you're involved, some part of you is to blame for what has happened. Because without you there, the event may not have occurred as it has. We will never know, and let's hope we never find out. We cannot hide the truth forever. So do one thing today, tell someone, anyone, one truth that you have been worrying about. Whether it's big or small, it might just lift up the weight off your shoulders.

What should you buy your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, son daughter for Christmas present...
The man up the street is getting his wife a new 4X4 truck, a 450 Ford. He justifies buying a big truck for her because he feels safer, knowing she will be more protected in an accident, than in a little car. She's just a little lady, and has trouble seeing over her steering wheel as it is now. I can understand his logic. He loves her and wants to keep her safe. That's a $55,000 or more gift, I didn't want to ask him how much it cost, feeling it would be imposing, even though he would love to tell me.
Another guy up the street, is giving his wife what ever she wants. Luckily, for him she is reasonable and bought some kind of electronic reading tablet for herself, under $100.00. He loves her.
Kids don't understand the price of things, they just want, want, want. I-pads, cell-phones, games. If it doesn't have a re-chargeable battery-pak, forget it!
This is the solution.
Get them whatever they want if you have the money. Avoid a year of whining. Life's too short and you'll make everyone happy.
That man up the street that bought the truck, he's pretty smart. I can hear him now, asking...
"Honey, can I borrow the truck, I have some things to deliver?"
Works both ways.

It's a much better day today. Let me randomly say that if I don't get a laptop or sign back up for cable service, my blog is going to continue to lag along. Everyone agrees with me on that, I can feel you all nodding. One of you rolled his/her eyes.
Well, let me tell you that I'm a week away from the Southern California vacation-see how I like it trip, things are moving along in that direction with some curious diversions. Such as my son getting cold feet! Okay with me, I think.
And I have my own diversions resulting in a doctor's visit today, symptoms of a urinary stone. Got the pain, the chills, the microscopic blood in the urine.
What's good about today is that I can see life as an adventure, not a threat to my survival. Yea for us!
