1. What is Task 29 ?
2. How does it help me with my new rom installation ?
Here I attempt to answer above 2 questions and summarize it in one page in layman's language .
Reading the 20+ pages on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781 could be difficult for many users as many of the posts are either being repeated or answers given incomplete
If you are a frequent flasher of cooked roms, you will notice after several flashing there could be a retarded performance – common issues reported are slight freezing during calls, smoothness of scrolling lost, unexplained freezing during applications, weird bugs etc. Many users has attributed this to the cooked rom installed. This is not entirely true. To discount the possibility that the problematic issues are due to the new rom, it is best to perform a Task 29 before flashing a new rom.
In geek terms :
Task 28 formats FATFS (storage memory) : comparable to hard reset
Task 29 formats BINFS (where our XIP is and the files we cooked in to a rom)
Task 29 performs a format of the BINFS (Binary File System). A normal Hard Reset (task 28) removes all the user data from your phone (anything stored in the phone memory). Task 29 formats a greater area, fixing problems that some badly created ROMs can cause. It removed your OS as well, so a task 29 on it's own will leave you with a phone that cannot boot. You need to put it in bootloader mode and flash a ROM then.
Below are the steps I practiced ( I modify it slightly from the recommended ) ; it works perfectly 100 % – you need not worry about your phone being bricked.
1. Take battery out to switch off the phone.
Put battery back – DO NOT switch on phone
2. Go to bootloader mode : Press vol down button and power button simultaneously. You will see a tricolor splash screen with "Serial " indicated
3. Connect phone to PC using ISB cable – you will see "Serial" change to "USB"
4. Run the Task29.exe file
5. Follow the prompts and accept all until the phone reboots ( whole process takes less than 5 minutes)
6. You will see a white screen and the phone cannot boot further as there is now no rom present
7. Disconnect phone, take out battery
8. Put battery back on , perform bootloader as in step3 above
9. Connect phone to PC by USB.
10. Run the customRUU.exe file of your new rom
11. Accept all prompts – flashing takes less than 10 minutes
12. Hard reset phone after flash complete
It'd be great if this Task29 process can be built in to the customRUU.exe – for this to happen we await the solution from the XDA rom cooks
I'd highly recommend that this Task 29 be performed before flashing any new rom. It is simpler , faster compared to the MTTY procedures ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623356 )

My first reaction was, "Dang, that's a nice boat." But it was followed closely by my second reaction, "Wait, what? There's a college bass fishing team?"
So I did some research and found that, yes, there are now entire college bass fishing leagues. I've found at least two national-level competition leagues—one simply called "College Bass U" and another known as the more verbose "BoatU.S. Collegiate Bass Fishing Championshp Series." Sure, it's not an NCAA-sanctioned sport (I'm pretty sure either Title IX or the BCS is to blame), but who cares? Imagine how different my college experience would have been. Sure, my GPA would have dropped considerably, and my blood alcohol content would have probably gone up a little bit. But how cool would it have been to put "First-Team All-American Largemouth Fisherman" on my resume? Besides, which looks cooler hanging on a wall: a Phi Beta Kappa Key or an 8 pound bass? And the bass definitely tastes better (don't ask me how I know--just trust me on this one).
The water in my part of the country is warming up nicely. So maybe it's time to grab my rod (uh, wait, that didn't come out right), fill the cooler and head to the lake to wonder-what-might-have-been in my college days. Now how do I get Cabela's to sponsor me?

W7 Eyeshadow Palettes
This week, I have felt like a child at Christmas. I have had a few unexpected parcels land at my door, and W7 was one of them.
This week, I have felt like a child at Christmas. I have had a few unexpected parcels land at my door, and W7 was one of them.
I have a HUGE bundle of makeup from them that I will be working through, so I thought I'd start with these fabulous, eyeshadows palettes.
First glance, you would be mistaken into thinking they were the Urban Decay, eyeshadow palettes.
They have the same 'tin' packaging - which I personally love, as they are easy to clean! (What's with the cardboard packaging that is so popular at the moment? It looks nice for a while, give it a few weeks in my kit and it look's a tatty mess - let's all make these tins please... )
They are the same size, and once opened they have the same design, containing 12 eyeshadows, and a small applicator/brush.
In the Nude
The camera doesn't pick up the lovely shimmery highlights, but they are there!
12 colours.
Natural Nudes
3 Matte colours in Cream/Light/Mid Browns. Great if you just want a matte eye makeup or to define your eye crease.
Alot of the colours in this palette I can see are similar to many MAC colours. Think of the colours:
Jest/Naked Lunch/Mulch/Satin Taupe/Woodwinked
Altogether, a gorgeous palette.
In the Buff, Lightly Toasted
Two Matte tones, in a colour similar to 'Brule' from MAC and a colour that looks a little like 'Cork' from MAC.
You have 7 frosted shades, which are of fabulous pigment. Colours similar to, 'Amber lights', 'All that glitters' by MAC.
Colours are very 'earthy' tones
You also have two darker shades. One is a Black, with glitter running through it and the other a Charcoal, again with glitter running through it.
In the Night
One Matte colour in this one - In Black.
This palette has three neutral shades, think Peach/Champagne tones.
You have one deep Purple, alongside another light Purple.
A gorgeous rustic Red, very much like 'Cranberry' from MAC, acompanied by an AMAZING pink, with glitter running through it. This colour would be great, 'patted' on top of a colour or straight onto the eyelid.
I know alot of the brushes you get included with eyeshadow palettes are usually pretty naff - but I would use the finer end of these brushes. It's really great at running under the eyes to add colour and definition - as for the sponge applicator tip - I still wish companies wouldn't bother. It CAN be used to PAT eyeshadow on with, but apart from that - there's really no point.
Now - as for the eyeshadows themselves, how do they compare to other higher end, or higher priced
or a SINGLE eyeshadow it's great.
I have A LOT of what would be classed as 'cheaper' makeup in my kit, not because it's cheap - but because I use it, rate it and it does the job. That's it.
These shadows are of high quality. They are rich in pigment, not full of talc, giving a wishy washy application of colour.
The colours are rich, and they blend well. I would recommend popping an eye primer on first, to give the best colour pay off.
If you are after an eyeshadow palette, but cannot afford £35 upwards for one invest in one of these . You will not be disappointed.
These cost a mere £9.99 each
W7 also do another palette called, 'In the Buff' - Which seems to be filled with very natural, earthy tones - with a mix of frost and mattes.
Take a look at their website here
What do you think? Have you tried these? If so which palette?
Stay tuned to me on Instagram - where I will be posting some new makeup looks using these.
* These makeup items were sent to me for review

Why A(nother) Blog?
Since college I have had many, many wonderful friends with whom I have shared common values, goals and amazing life experiences. However, many of us are now scattered across the United States and the world! For those that have moved, I have never quite gotten over the loss of your presence in my life, so I am creating this blog as a tool to keep myself connected with you and a place for women who share similar values, goals and experiences to connect to each other when our busy lives may not allow us to meet or talk in person!
How this blog will work (at least for now)
Each week I will publish a post about a topic on my heart that we can comment on throughout the week. Check on Monday for new posts, then check comments throughout the week to participate in discussion (like Facebook only less chaotic). This should be a place where we share experiences, ideas and the websites/people/events that inspire and influence us! If you don't feel like commenting though, no worries, just enjoy reading what I and those who do want to comment have to say. Just know that I would love to hear from you all, and for those that live far away- I miss you terribly! My life has never been the same without you in it the way you were at one time, so I LOVE a reason to be connected!
All that being said, I also want to welcome you to share this blog with friends who I have never met! There is an internet world out there filled with moms, wives and women who are looking for encouragement and community when they have spare moments online. (I know, especially when Melody was a newborn, that was me!) So share and share alike this website with other friends!
Next week will be my launch for the website- so tell your friends, get ready to participate and look for my first "official" post on Monday, March 21st, 2011!
Blessings on all the beautiful women reading this! And thank you for your interest:)
Love, Rachel

HistoryMiami from Bayfront out to Stiltsville. We got a perspective of the city from the coastline that layered all different eras on top of each other, and left us as breathless witnesses to the current transformation. The Brickel area buildings are rumored to be the densest outcropping of buildings anywhere in the USA. The open spaces all have cranes at work. Miami is skyrocketing up to the clouds at the edges of the water and creeping up the coast to the north. We saw where landfill from channel dredging for cruise ships has turned 3 acre islands into 120 acres, and where the earth scraped bare by Hurricane Andrew in the early nineties has been restored to a lush natural habitat.
The seven Stiltsville homes are located in Biscayne National Park approximately one mile south of Cape Florida. These homes are the remaining structures of a community that dates back to the 1930's. It started with a bait man selling bait out of a grounded vessel. Soon other grounded vessels were dragged out there and small businesses popped up to serve fishermen and recreational boaters... then additions of wooden structures to shelter the vessels were built. Soon someone built a porch along his establishment to create a drinking club. In the 1950's The Bikini Club allowed free membership to women arriving in nothing but a bikini. Wild parties and lawlessness abounded. Today the Stiltsville Trust, a non-profit organization, manages public use and maintenance of the structures in accordance with a signed agreement with the National Park Service. I was surprised that only 7 of the maybe 30 at-one-time structures was still standing. One of the heirs, now called "caretakers" for the national park partnership, was on board and shared his experiences growing up with his family using the houses as recreational escapes (after the raciest of times were over). He spoke of how all the children had little skiffs and everyone was diving and snorkeling and at times it is so shallow you can stand.
The trip was inspiring and really got me to add a few more things to my Miami bucket list. I need to bike ride the backside of Key Biscayne, and experience a sailing trip leaving Miami way behind me.

Two out of four US Air Force F-22 Raptors currently deployed to Europe, went very much near Russia during a visit to Estonia on Friday 4 September. The aircraft arrived under escort by two A-10C Thunderbolts currently also deployed to the Baltics. More pics are here.
The two Lockheed Martin F-22s arrived at Ämari airbase in the morning and flew back to Spangdahlem in Germany later in the day. On Monday, two Raptors paid a similar quick visit to Łask airbase in Poland.
The advanced stealth fighters arrived in Germany on 28 August, flying directly from their homebase in Tyndall, Florida. They are expected to leave Europe again mid-September. In other US military movements, eight US Air National Guard F-16s are due to arrive on Friday in Poland for exercises.

Hip Hop Speaks to Children
Yesterday, to my daughter's delight, a copy of Hip Hop Speaks to Children arrived in the mail. Ella and Alex have enjoyed Poetry Speaks to Children so much, we had to get this book and accompanying CD, which features hip hop and other related poetic forms.
Edited by Nikki Giovanni, this collection features poets and artists from Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Lucille Clifton to the Sugar Hill Gang, Queen Latifah, A Tribe Called Quest, and Martin Luther King Jr. It's a nice mix of music, rhythm, beats, and meter. We're just getting into it but I'm very happy to have this companion piece to show my children the range of poets and styles out there. And, I love seeing so many beautiful brown faces in the illustrations.
Also in my amazon.com order was Lighthead by Terrance Hayes and Skin Inc. by Thomas Sayers Ellis.
I'm trying to restrain myself with book purchases for the rest of the year until I can catch up on the titles I have now. I have a pretty hefty stack of books on my nightstand waiting to be read. Of course, I'm going to the Miami Book Fair International next week so all bets are off.
Weekend To-do List
- Keep up with November PAD Challenge
- Take one last look at second manuscript; send out to three more readers for feedback
- Finish reading a friend's manuscript
- Submit poems to two publications
- Update my Goodreads profile
- Start a new fiction book. Top of the list: The Anthologist by Nicholson Baker.

I would also like to thank my girlfriend Vicki for helping me work out my card design, you know what I mean… when you just go blank…. and not sure what to do, and there is a looming deadline. I've had my eye on this red & white striped ribbon for a while, and a friend recently gave me some so I've used it to add texture to the front of my card combined with the embossed layer.

Safely Integrating Urban Agriculture With Urban Living
I was involved in urban agriculture before I heard of "urban agriculture." In 2009, I worked on a farm and helped a community garden in Portland, OR. At that time, growing food within the city limits was not uncommon for a food-loving city like Portland. But now you can find community gardens, backyard homesteads, and… Continue Reading
Two Apolitical Ways to Support Local Food Safety
You've heard it before: "Support your local farmer," "Eat local," "Buy local," etc. But have you heard the term "Support local food safety?" We could argue about the definition of "local" or whether you should support local foods. But, ultimately, if the phrase "Support your local farmer (or coop, or food truck, or deli, or… Continue Reading
Controversy Continues Over Listing Evaporated Cane Juice on Ingredient Labels
Recent action by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may smooth the path for food manufacturers to continue to declare sweeteners derived from cane syrup (such as sugar) as "Evaporated Cane Juice" (ECJ) on food labels, at least for the foreseeable future. Last month, FDA announced that it was reopening comments for 60 days on… Continue Reading
Tribes Still Troubled by FDA's 'Inadequate' Consultation Policy
With less than 30 days notice, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finally set a date for face-to-face consultation with American Indian tribes and pueblos on its proposed rules under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). On March 27, FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods and Veterinary Medicine Michael Taylor sent a letter to tribal… Continue Reading
Industry Associations Hope FSMA Rules Won't Duplicate Marketing Agreements, Orders
National and regional marketing agreements and orders may give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) some options as it continues to issue and revise rules to implement the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). In comments to the FSMA proposed rule for produce safety, a number of industry associations asked FDA to take into account… Continue Reading
Food Ingredients: Trade Secrets vs. Public Disclosure
Can a food manufacturer determine that an ingredient is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and maintain trade secrets information on that ingredient? The answer to this question may be more perplexing than Congress originally intended when it created the GRAS exemption to food additives in 1958. At that time, food ingredients were more simple and… Continue Reading
Is the GRAS Process Broken?
From spices to preservatives, U.S. food manufacturers have access to thousands of globally sourced substances to enhance the flavor, texture, and appeal of their products. But some question whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adequately regulates the safety of these abundant substances. Groups such as The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Natural Resources… Continue Reading
What About Marijuana Food Safety?
A considerable paradox exists in U.S. food policy. Although the federal government has named food safety as a top priority, an entire pocket of the food industry remains largely unregulated by, or at least largely under the radar of, most federal agencies. That pocket is marijuana-infused food. The term "marijuana-infused food" may spark memories of… Continue Reading

During the initial consult with radiation oncology, our clinician will review your pet's case and advise whether a form of radiation therapy is appropriate for your pet's particular cancer. If so, the treatment options that will be most beneficial to the patient's condition will be discussed.
Depending on the type, location and stage of the tumor, this may include one of the following forms of radiation therapy, either alone or in combination with another form of treatment:
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
Thanks to a new partnership with PetCure Oncology, PVSEC is proud to be one of just a handful of specialty practices around the country offering stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for pets. SRS is an advanced form of radiation therapy that has been a standard of care in human oncology for decades but has just recently become available for pets. It is a noninvasive therapy that utilizes unprecedented precision to deliver high-dose radiation directly to a tumor while primarily sparing the surrounding healthy anatomy. The result is increased effectiveness and efficiency, offering a full course of treatment in just 1-3 sessions while optimizing the ability to achieve both long-term survival and increased quality of life. Additional benefits to the patient include a maximum of just four anesthetic events and minimal side effects.
To learn more about SRS and PetCure Oncology, watch this video:
Conventional Radiation Therapy (RT)
Conventional RT uses targeted radiation to shrink or destroy cancers, including those that cannot be safely or completely removed by surgery alone. It can be utilized in conjunction with chemotherapy, following surgery, or as the sole treatment in cases where SRS is not an option. Conventional RT is typically administered daily in 12-20 treatment sessions over 3-4 weeks.
Palliative Care
Palliative treatment, which is intended to increase a pet's comfort and quality of life, is also available. This option is especially useful when treatment options with the intent to cure, such as SRS or surgery, are not viable. Palliative treatments are typically delivered once per week over 3-6 weeks with the goal of relieving symptoms such as pain, bleeding and decreased mobility.

I have 2.3.38 running on a provider and two consumers. Not every time, but most of the time, when I make an update to the provider, the consumers do not receive until I manually go there and restart the consumer, then all updates. I have loglevel set to 512 on both machines, is this enough to catch the problem. I have grep'd the debug.log on these FreeBSD machines and can't find any warn or error messages.
loglevel sync stats
16384 (0x4000 sync) LDAPSync replication
What is the best way for me to find the problem? Also, I'd like to know if by merely replacing the syncrepl parameters from slapd.conf with the overlay parameters, will this will make a consumer a master server in the event of the provider going down indefinitely? And then be able to redirect other consumers to this new provider?

Stand Up And More
We are also proud of our son Travis, who is also successful in a performing art. Also based in Southern California, he performs in two hard-core punk rock bands, Minus and Fell To Low. He has been at this since high school, much longer than his sister, and he usually does a national tour in the summer with one or another of the bands that includes a stop in Denver. Both of these bands have released several albums. I'll put some more stuff up about Travis and his work later.
Connie and I are both mystified as to why this "performance gene" has manifested itself in our children. Neither of us or anyone in our immediate families has ever seemed to have this urge to entertain people from a stage.

"No Problem" is... well, a problem.
It seems that the polite, standard phrase You're welcome is becoming extinct. Have you noticed the number of times at a store or restaurant your Thank you is returned with No problem?
I think this is a problem.
Saying No problem is in a very real sense a refusal of one's offering of thanksgiving. Instead of returning the conversation by focusing on the other person (particularly with the word you, as in You are welcome), saying No problem keeps all of the focus on the recipient.
Furthermore, sometimes people say Thank you even if they were inconvenienced (out of politeness). In that case, there may have been a problem, but they were willing to look beyond it to offer thanks. When the recipient mutters No problem it's like a slap in their face to remind them that there was indeed some type of problem.
I realize this sounds petty, but a final reason to avoid using the tired No problem is that it makes one sound... well, how should I say this... ignorant. I know that sounds cold and superficial, but there's nothing about the expression that communicates that I carefully choose my words because I am honored to speak with you.
I guess I should go ahead and offer a My bad to those of you I may have offended. My guess though is that my offense was no problem. After all, the phrase is so much fun to say that it becomes addictive.
Next time you're at a restaurant or store, pay attention to the response you receive when you offer thanks. After all, words matter.
My wife and I have been trying to train our children to say You're welcome. I hope you'll join us in this small step toward returning a little bit of politeness to our world. After all, saying You're welcome really is no problem at all.

Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler are the two of the most popular athletes among the coveted millennial demographic, according to a recent report from 120 Sports.
This week the media group unveiled its second annual "Millennials' Athlete Index," the goal of which is to rank the athletes "mattering most to millennials" using a combination of consumer trends, survey data and social analytics. The demographic is loosely defined as those born between 1980 and approximately 2000.
The top-40 list, which was topped by NBA superstar Stephen Curry, included only two golfers. Spieth came in at No. 17 after a year that included five wins, two majors and the FedEx Cup title. At age 22, he was the second-youngest athlete to make the list behind only 20-year-old Kristaps Porzingis of the New York Knicks.
Fowler came in at No. 35, behind running back Le'Veon Bell and ahead of NHL star Patrick Kane. This is the second straight year that Fowler has made the top 40, and it follows a season where the 27-year-old won three times including The Players.
Besides Curry, the top 10 included NFL star J.J. Watt, outfielder Mike Trout, soccer star Alex Morgan, quarterback Cam Newton, former NL MVP Andrew McCutchen, soccer star Lionel Messi, outfielder Kris Bryant, pitcher Clayton Kershaw and wide receiver Antonio Brown. Here is a look at the full ranking of the 40 athletes that made the list.

The Crook Families of Coweta County, Georgia.
click here to go to the Tenney (Tinney) Family of Coweta County
click here to view the Coweta County Cemetery listing
click here to view the Crook and Tenney Census Records
The following families have been confirmed by Census Records or other County or State Records.
Griffin Crook was born abt. 1794 in Virginia. His
family moved to North Carolina where Griffin and married Nancy
Pennington, 18 Mar 1817 in Wake County, North Carolina. She
was born abt. 1800 in Virginia, the daughter of Howell &
Margaret Pennington.
Griffin and family moved to Pike County, Georgia by 1830, Meriwether County by 1840 and was employed as a Farmer in Spalding County, 2nd District in the 1860 Census.
Griffin and Nancy had the following children:
Lucious and Manly may be grandchildren of Griffin's. He would have been 63 and 65 at the time of their births. They appear in the family with Griffin in 1860 only.
Jeremiah Crook was born abt 1790. He resided in Carroll County, Georgia at the time of the 1830 census. Listed in other family charts as the son of James Crook Jr. of Rowan County, North Carolina. There seems reason to think that Jeremiah and Griffin were closely associated and possibly brothers. Although Griffin is not listed in the known children of James Crook Jr., many other simularities occur. The youngest brother of Jeremiah is William Crook born abt. 1880. With the naming trend of William in this line of Crooks, it is possible the William is the father of Griffin and the nephew of Jeremiah. Jeremiah later moves to Kentucky and eventually Ohio where he lived until his death. Jeremiah's family at the time of the 1830 Carroll County, Georgia census was:
John W. Crook (Griffin) was born abt. 1819 in North Carolina. He is listed as a "laborer" in the 1860 Spalding County, census where he resided in the 3rd District. John married Sorepta ???? who was born abt. 1810 in Georgia. They have the following children listed:
John's mother Nancy also lived with him in 1870 at their home in Carroll County.
William S. Crook (Griffin) was born in North Carolina abt. 1823. He was employed as a blacksmith in Carroll County, Georgia, Flint Hill PO, Fairplay Dist. He married Elizabeth C. ???? who was born in South Carolina abt. 1823. William joined the Confederate Army on June 22, 1861. Originally organized as Company I, 2nd Regiment, 4th Brigade, Georgia State Troops, William's regiment was quickly redesignated as Company I, 19th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry, and placed into the Army of Tennessee. This regiment from Carroll County, Georgia was known as the "Villa Rica Gold Diggers". It is curious that William has two daughers listed as Elizabeth in the census records. This is consistent throughout the records and there is no indication that one of the Elizabeths was a different relation. William and Elizabeth C. had the following children:
Louelen Crook (Griffin) born 26 Sept 1827, died 18 Aug 1901. Louelen shows in the 1830 Douglas County, Georgia census in the community of Fairplay. He lived in Carroll County by 1860 but was employed as a farmer in Coweta County in the 1870 census. In 1880 Louelen and family had moved to Meriwether County, returning to Coweta by 1900. Louelen married Sarah E. Pennington, born 26 June 1837, died 14 Aug 1917. She was the daughter of William Henry and Mary Elizabeth Coggin Pennington. Louelen joined the Confederate Army on March 10, 1862. He was a Private in Company C, 35th Regiment, Campbell County, known as the "Campbell Rangers". He was wounded and admitted to the 1st Georgia Hospital on June 27, 1862. He was transferred to Hanlietere's Co. of Joe Thompson's Georgia Artillery, as a Private, on February 09, 1863. He is listed as deserting this unit on January 11, 1864. He returned to the 35th Regiment, Company C, and was captured at Petersburg, Virginia April 2, 1865. Louelen was released at Hart's Island, New York June 15, 1865 after spending only 2 months as a POW. Louelen and his wife Sarah applied for Confederate Pensions in Coweta County, Georgia listing his service in the Artillery Unit. Louelen and Sarah E. Crook are buried in the Bethel Methodist Church Cemetery in Senoia, Coweta County, Georgia. They had the following children:
John P. Crook (Louelen , Griffin ) born abt. 1860 in Georgia, married Emiline Kelley born abt. 1863 in Meriwether Co., Georgia. They were married 30 Nov. 1882 in Meriwether Co., Georgia. They had the following children:
Ozwell Crook (Louelen , Griffin ) born 16 Feb. 1861, died 18 June 1922. He married Jennie Pettile Higgins, born 14 July 1862, died 17 Mar. 1956. They were married 27 Dec. 1882. They are buried in the Senoia City Cemetery, Coweta County, Georgia. They had the following children:
William Crook (Louelen , Griffin ) born abt. 1866. He married Alice ???? born abt. 1867 in Georgia. They lived in Coweta County in 1900. They had the following children:

text: I have been thinking about adding a bench top drill press to my work shop as my next piece of equipment. I started keeping a look out on Craigslist but then I remembered seeing a very old bench top drill press in my wife's grandmothers basement. I went to take a look and found a Walker Turner DP 101. It had no motor but after looking around in the basement I found a few motors and pulleys. I was able to find a motor that spun counter clockwise so I took everything home. I cleaned it up a little and looked it over to make sure there were no cracks and everything worked as it should. For an eighty year old machine I was surprised to find it all in working order. I then greased it up and mounted the motor. A quick trip to the auto store to purchase a belt and I was making holes.

Took the Childerbeast to see Guillermo del Torro's movie 'The Book of Life' today.
I'm quite partial to a bit of the old afterlife and alternate dimension, as I'm sure you are aware, and have to say – great film. Brilliant animation and if the afterlife doesn't turn out to actually be THAT colourful when I get there, I will be coming back and kicking up a big old chair stacking; bedcovers off; messages on the bathroom mirror; voices through the TV static; big old fuss about that!
You have been warned.

|Check out the YA Buccaneers! Who doesn't love pirates and YA?
Last night I participated in a word sprint through the new blog YA Buccaneers. For those of you who have never heard of a word sprint, it's where you write like crazy for a set amount of time (usually between 30 and 60 minutes). You can set a goal or just see where your word count ends up. At the beginning and end, you post a status on Twitter, saying your goal and what word count you wound up with at the end. (#YABwordsprint)
YA Buccaneers hosted two word sprints last night, and I decided to join in. I'd been tiptoeing around a scene ALL DAY and just needed to go for it. I wound up writing 1,313 words, probably the most I've ever written in an hour. Needless to say, I'm a fan of word sprints now.
If you're interested in participating, keep an eye out on the YA Buccaneers Word Sprints calendar. They're planning more soon!

Hey guys, it's been a little while but my next review is for the masterpiece I've just seen called "Chronicle". Sort of like "Cloverfield" mixed with "Misfits", the story is about four teenage boys who discover something deep underground and the next thing they know, they all of a sudden have super powers. They have fun with them, but learn on how to control them. But one of them named Andrew has other ideas with what to do with these powers. The whole thing is filmed with video cameras and is I think apart from "The Artist", one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life, it's just incredible. Everything is right, the story, the characters, the way it's filmed, it's exciting, funny, suspenseful and thrilling to watch, unbelievable. Check it out, please it's incredible and I give it;
5/5-A Masterpiece

Oy vey!
We have been hard at work trying to implement Eureka Math in the classroom in order to keep pace with general education but BOY is it a headache. It is nice having a curriculum to follow but poses numerous challenges as each lesson incorporates a plethora of skills students have to grapple with leading to moments of accomplishment – as well as – moments of frustration (both students and myself alike!)
One nice thing I will say is it really brings forth spiked skills students are struggling with which I may not have noticed otherwise and it allows me to take this information and utilize it in a meaningful way! From which, I give you:
Each set includes Task Cards, File Folder, and Worksheets to complete in 3 different levels.
- Numbers 1-10
- Numbers 1-20
- Numbers 1-100
I found my students were having trouble figuring out the missing number in a sequence in various locations. We work hard on counting on as that is a CCSS but having the conceptual knowledge of before and after numbers sometimes poses a challenge, especially when attempting to answer for speed without a 100s chart or number line to consult!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
Happy Teaching,
Mr. OB

Early Irish
It was only when my Dad's mother, a wonderful little lady who told me stories of riding a camel to the Pyramids and following her husband's fleet clear around the world, came to live with us that I learned that we were Irish.
I was a convert and converts are the fiercest believers. I went through a phase where most of my foods were prepared from Irish cookbooks and I was defiantly proud of the peasant half of my heritage. I've calmed down a bit since then but I still love watching movies about Ireland (or at least Hollywood's vision of Ireland) and I still enjoy the occasional dinner of corned beef, cabbage and potatoes.
Having tried several times to cook the cabbage in the corned beef water and ended up with a soggy mess, I have lately gone to lightly sauteeing the shredded cabbage in bacon fat, then laying it alongside my corned beef. The spuds were simply cut into spears and roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper until tender. It may not be an authentically Irish preparation but it satisfies both the finicky WASP and the earthy peasant in me.

This is my Lost Property Cupboard theory of the afterlife — when we die we are taken to a great Lost Property Cupboard where all the things we have ever lost have been kept for us — every hairgrip, every button and pencil, every tooth, every earring and key, every pin (think how many there must be!). All the library books, all the cats that never came back, all the coins, all the watches (which will still be keeping time for us). And perhaps, too, the other less tangible things — tempers and patience (perhaps Patricia's virginity will be there), religion (Kathleen has lost hers), meaning, innocence (mine) and oceans of time — Mr Belling and Bunty will find a lot of time in their cupboard. Mr Belling is always sitting at the wheel of the Rover, parked in the driveway, looking at his watch and fuming, "Do you know how much time we've lost waiting for you, Ruby? On the lower shelves will be the dreams we forgot on waking, nestling against the days lost to melancholy thoughts (if they paid dividends Patricia would be rich). And right down at the bottom of the cupboard, amongst the silt and fluff and feather, the pencil shavings and hair swept up from hairdressers' floors — that's where you find the lost memories. Deinde ipsa, virum suum complexa, in mare se deiecit. And perhaps we can sign our names and take them home with us.Kate Atkinson's Behind the Scenes at the Museum is the story of Ruby Lennox, beginning with her conception, and of various things — a button, a rabbit's foot — commemorated in footnotes, telling of the three generations of (primarily) women before her.
Atkinson has discussed the title, but I have my own ideas. There's only one scene, in the book, in an actual museum, the Castle Museum, and it references Ruby's dream about the museum at night, the secret museum, where things came to life. The museum may as well be a symbol of marriage, what is meant to be seen, and this novel's footnotes show us the secret workings.
Like her most recent books, this novel — Atkinson's debut — also had me laughing out loud, and it made me weep; we live such stupid lives and die such stupid deaths and spend so much time misunderstanding each other. If it weren't so ridiculous and random we'd die from the tragedy of it.

I have decided to try different looks. I finally broke down and got a mesh body and I am starting to look at different skins and hair colors as well. I wanted a darker look for this post so I started with the Julia Dress from Blasphemic. It's a form fitting dress that is nicely revealing. I like the use of the chain on the straps and the belt buckles under the bodice and on the right bottom side of the dress. It has arm warmers and stockings that come with it as well.
The Julia dress comes in a tattoo layer for standard bodies, an applier for TMP, and a Universal HUD applier for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and Omega. It is available in black, orange, pink, sea and yellow.

Fourth-ranked Johns Hopkins powers past No. 6 Stevens in top-10 battle
HOBOKEN, N.J. -- In a much-anticipated meeting between two teams ranked in the top 10, fourth-ranked Johns Hopkins won 11 of the first 12 events to defeat host and sixth-ranked Stevens 164-94. The Blue Jays improve to 7-1 on the season, while the Ducks fall to 2-1.
Hopkins got things going with a win and a third-place finish in the 200 medley relay. Juniors Taylor Kitayama and Cristina Cusumano, sophomore Kylie Holden and freshman Megan Auzenbergs swam a winning time of 1:49.75. The team of freshman Sean McGrath, sophomores Maggie Storm and Melinda Yau and junior Sarah Rinsma placed third with a combined time of 1:52.92. Senior Kristen Ferriero then placed second in the 1,000 free as she finished in 10:55.07, while classmate Nicole Wain finished in 10:56.16 for third.
The Blue Jays followed that with a sweep of the top three spots in the 200 free. Sophomore Ana Bogdanovski paced the field as she won the event in 1:55.42. Rinsma took second in 1:57.50, beating junior Alex Ladd by four tenths of a second. Kitayama grabbed the first of her three individual wins on the day when she won the 100 back with an NCAA provisional time of 57.89. McGrath took home third place with a time of 1:01.82.
In the 100 breast, sophomore Sammi Fox and Storm combined to go 1-2 in a close finish. Fox touched first and reached the wall in 1:09.48, just 0.12 seconds ahead of Storm. Freshman Katie Buchser and Ladd had a nearly identical finish in the 200 fly. Buchser won the race and beat Ladd to the wall by just one tenth of a second, finishing in 2:14.60. Bogdanovski earned her second individual win, taking the top spot in the 50 free in 24.61. Auzenbergs followed in third place with a time of 24.95.
Bogandovski added another win, this time in the 100 free, clocking in at 53.26 to win by 1.11 seconds ahead of senior Eleanor Gardner, who finished in 54.37. Kitayama's second win of the day came in the 200 back as she posted an NCAA provisional time of 2:04.38 and won by nearly eight seconds. McGrath placed second with a time of 2:12.08. Fox grabbed a second win as she took the top spot in the 200 breast with a time of 2:29.15. Storm followed a second later to place second in 2:30.38.
Rinsma picked up her first individual win as she clocked in with a time of 5:12.48 in the 500 free. Ladd placed in third with a time of 5:17.12. Kitayama closed out her three-win day as she swam to a first-place finish in the 100 fly with a time of 58.67. Buchser and Holden then tied for third as they each touched the wall in 1:00.85.

Today's Thursday Thirteen is reasons why I do not need New Kids on the Block tickets.
1) I am no longer 12 years old.
2) Hubby would never go with me.
3) Heck, even I'm embarrassed to want to go.
4) The tickets are expensive.
5) I am no longer 12 years old.
6) They go by NKOTB - c'mon, how silly is that?
7) I don't even know their songs anymore.
8) I am a happily married mother, not some fan-girl.
9) I am no longer 12 years old.
10) Jordan Knight will not see this mom with a baby in a sling and pull me on stage.
11) I don't even listen to pop music anymore.
12) I don't want to drive to the Staples Center to see them, especially midweek, at night.
13) I am no longer 12 years old.
But, c'mon, doesn't this appeal to the 12 year old girl in you, just a little bit?

09 June 2011
One of the most exciting experiments in researching the Solar System with robotic space probes took place on 14 January 2005, when the European measurement capsule Huygens made a two-and-a-half hour flight through Titan's atmosphere and subsequently landed on the icy surface of the moon. The picture is an artist's impression of the landing site. A mechanism ejected Huygens from the NASA Saturn orbiter Cassini on 24 December 2004. Huygens started a three-week 'ballistic' – that is, not using a propulsion system – descent towards Titan. When Huygens got to the outer reaches of the dense nitrogen atmosphere, the atmosphere of the moon slowed down the probe. In the course of this deceleration, the protective shield of the capsule was heated to 1,500 degrees Celsius. One hundred and eighty kilometres above the surface, the first, two-and-a-half-metre diameter parachute pulled off the heat shield as planned. Immediately afterwards, a second parachute, with a diameter of more than eight metres, opened so that Huygens' fall was further slowed and the capsule – now a plaything of Titan's winds – floated through the atmosphere. The probe collected and analysed its first samples of the atmosphere and started acquiring images. The second parachute was released at a height of 125 kilometres. A third parachute allowed the probe to float downwards through the clouds. On 14 January 2005 at 12:38 Central European Time, Huygens landed on the surface of Titan, which is at a temperature of minus 180 degree Celsius. The measurement data and images from the landing site were first transmitted to Cassini and from there to Earth. Rounded ice blocks are visible which were presumably ground down by a flowing medium. After a few hours, the radio signals from a scientifically and technically magnificent mission ceased as expected.
The four largest gaseous planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are frequently described as 'miniature solar systems' because numerous moons of various sizes and characters orbit them. Currently, the largest number of satellites can be founded around Saturn – in 2009 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) counted 61 moons. Although most of the moons only have diameters of a few kilometres, with Titan, Saturn is orbited by the second largest moon in the Solar System at a distance of something over 1.2 million kilometres. Its diameter of 5,150 kilometres is significantly greater than that of the Earth's moon (3,476 kilometres). As a result of its size and mass, Titan is able to retain a dense atmosphere of nitrogen and gases such as methane and ethane. It displays some similarities with the early atmosphere of the Earth. This made Titan one of the most interesting objects in planetary research and the destination of the European Huygens atmospheric and landing capsule, which landed on Titan on 14 January 2005. Only at wavelengths close to infrared (such as in this image) or when flying over its surface can coarse structures be identified on cold moon, whose surface is at a temperature of minus 180 degrees Celsius. Saturn's large moons also include Rhea, Iapetus, Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, Mimas, Hyperion and Phoebe. The DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin is creating the up-to-date atlases and maps of these moons as part of the Cassini project. The smaller moons shown here – Janus, Epimetheus, Prometheus, Pandora, Atlas, Helene and Telesto – were imaged as part of the Cassini mission during non-targeted flybys, sometimes at great distances. All of them are located in gaps between Saturn's rings or slightly outside them.
NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute.
The Cassini probe, which has been orbiting Saturn since July 2004, and the landing of the Huygens atmospheric capsule on Titan are the basic elements of the joint American and European Cassini-Huygens mission. Both space probes have literally redrawn the picture of this mysterious moon. The book 'Titan from Cassini-Huygens' presents for the first time an overall picture of Titan using the knowledge acquired from the Huygens landing and the Cassini flybys. DLR planetary researcher Prof. Ralf Jaumann is the senior author of the chapter 'Geology and Surface Processes on Titan'.
Springer Science + Business Media.
The results of the Huygens landing and the first four years of the Cassini spacecraft in orbit around Saturn have now been compiled in two books in which scientists from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have had significant involvement. The volume 'Saturn from Cassini-Huygens' was edited by Michele Dougherty, Larry Esposito and Stamatios M. Krimigis and published by Springer Dordrecht Verlag (Heidelberg, London, New York, 2009). The DLR planetary geologist Prof. Ralf Jaumann is the senior author of the chapter 'Icy Satellites: Geological Evolution and Surface Processes'. Together with DLR planetary researcher Dr Katrin Stephan, Prof. Jaumann was also involved in the chapter 'Cartographic Mapping of the Icy Satellites Using ISS and VIMS Data'. Over 805 pages, 'Saturn from Cassini-Huygens' describes the results of the Cassini orbiter regarding Saturn, its rings and the icy moons. More than 250 scientists from the USA, Europe and many other countries are directly involved with Cassini and Huygens.
As is the case for geoscientists on Earth, it is of fundamental importance for planetary researchers to have precise maps of the areas they are investigating. The creation of global image mosaics and atlases of the icy moons is therefore an important long-term project of the Cassini mission. The Cassini team at the DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin uses the images from the camera system on the Cassini space probe for this purpose. The system has collected image data from various distances during the numerous flybys of Saturn's large icy moons. The example shows a map sheet from the northern hemisphere of the icy moon Enceladus at a scale of 1:500,000; this means that one centimetre on the original map sheet (105 centimetres by 75 centimetres) corresponds to five kilometres (500,000 centimetres) in reality. This representation is referred to in cartography as the 'Lambert conformal conic projection'. Enceladus has a diameter of 504 kilometres and is of particular interest to planetary researchers because of its 'cryovolcanic' ice eruptions, which are ejected into space from the southern polar region. The map is called 'Shahrazad' (Scheherazade). DLR cartographers give all surface phenomena on Enceladus, such as craters, plains or fissures, names from the oriental tales of the Arabian Nights – following rules set by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Shahrazad is the storyteller in these tales.

As with the Earth, the rotational axis of Saturn, the second largest planet in the Solar System, is inclined with respect to the plane of its path around the Sun. This means that in the almost 29 (Earth) years and 164 days that Saturn requires to orbit the Sun once, there are also seasons on this celestial body. For half a 'Saturn year' – that is, almost 15 Earth years – the southern hemisphere receives the greater amount of sunlight and for 15 years the northern hemisphere is more brightly illuminated. However, the quantity of the Sun's energy that the planet receives at a distance of something over 1.4 billion kilometres from the Sun is only one ninetieth of that received on Earth. In August 2009, Saturn passed through the vernal equinox – that is, for a virtual observer on the clouds of Saturn, the Sun appeared to cross the celestial equator. The southern summer has come to an end and after 11 August 2009, when day and night were of equal length – known as the equinox – spring started in the northern hemisphere. At the time of the equinoxes, the Sun shines precisely on the edge of Saturn's rings, which surround the planet at its equator. This rather rare astronomical event is something worth celebrating – not just for observers on Earth with their telescopes – because at that time the edge of the plane of the rings is seen as a small line. For the Saturn orbiter Cassini, too, the way that the light falls across the disc at a very shallow angle offers exceptional possibilities for observation, producing special scientific results regarding the structure and dynamics of the rings. At a distance from Saturn of approximately 847,000 kilometres and a viewing angle of 20 degrees above the surface of the rings, Cassini's wide-angle camera acquired a sequence of 75 images one-and-a-half days after the equinox in 2009, producing this image mosaic of Saturn, its rings and some of its moons. The scale of the picture is 50 kilometres per pixel. The unusual lighting geometry means that the rings appear very dark. In contrast, the structures outside the plane of the rings are unusually bright and throw long shadows across the rings. In addition, the shadows of Saturn's extensive rings appear at the equinox as a single, narrow band on the planet.
Results of the current Cassini-Huygens mission are documented in two books – DLR scientists map the icy moons and describe their geology
Five years ago, on 14 January 2005, the Huygens probe floated through the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan suspended on parachutes and, two-and-a-half hours later, landed gently on the surface, which is at a temperature of minus 180 degrees Celsius. From there, it transmitted several hours of measurement data to the Cassini mother probe. Two new books, in which scientists from the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) have had significant involvement, bring together the results of the Huygens landing and the first four years of the Cassini spacecraft in orbit around Saturn.
The volumes 'Saturn from Cassini-Huygens', edited by Michele Dougherty, Larry Esposito and Stamatios M. Krimigis and published by Springer Dordrecht Verlag (Heidelberg, London, New York, 2009), and 'Titan from Cassini-Huygens', edited by Robert Brown, Jean-Pierre Lebreton and Hunter Waite and published by Springer Dordrecht Verlag (Heidelberg, London, New York, 2010), set the standard for Saturn research in the coming decade.
The bold manoeuvre of the Huygens probe was also the first landing of a space probe on a body in the outer Solar System. It took almost 90 minutes for radio signals to travel the 1.4 billion kilometres back to Earth. When the measurements from the experiments, the pictures of the probe's descent and, finally, of the surroundings of the landing site arrived in Darmstadt, there was no end to the celebrations. In amazement, the scientists and over a hundred media representatives looked at the branching system of valleys through which ice-cold liquid hydrocarbons must have flowed. Blocks of ice, rounded by a flowing medium, lay in front of the probe. "The Huygens landing represented an exceptional success for European space exploration, and, above all, planetary research," Prof. Ralf Jaumann, from the DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin, recalls.
Cassini-Huygens – journey to the alien, icy place that is the outer Solar System
"Since its arrival at Saturn in mid-2004, Cassini-Huygens has probably been the most exciting project in current planetary research – the mission, with its twelve experiments, keeps us in a constant state of excitement," Prof. Jaumann reports. "This mission has given us a much more precise picture of this alien region of giant gaseous planets in the outer Solar System – and their icy moons. Many things are new and unfamiliar, but the basic geological processes are similar to those on Earth - even if the ingredients are exotic," the planetary geologist and Cassini expert explains. Since 4 July 2004, Cassini has orbited Saturn more than 120 times. Another close Titan flyby, at a distance of 955 kilometres, occurred on 12 January 2010.
Other than Earth, Titan is the only body in the Solar System that has liquids on its surface. Its thick nitrogen atmosphere hides 'lakes' of liquid hydrocarbons such as methane and ethane. These hydrocarbons circulate like water on Earth in a cycle of evaporation, rain and drainage systems. DLR researchers recently demonstrated for the first time that a very large lake in Titan's north polar region is filled with liquid hydrocarbons.
Two books combine the collected knowledge into a new picture of the Saturn system
The Cassini probe and the landing of the Huygens atmospheric capsule on Titan are the basic elements of the joint American and European Cassini-Huygens mission. Both space probes have literally redrawn the picture of this mysterious moon. The book 'Titan from Cassini-Huygens' presents for the first time an overall picture of Titan using the knowledge acquired from the Huygens landing and the Cassini flybys.
'Saturn from Cassini-Huygens' was published in parallel, drawing together on 805 pages the results of the Cassini orbiter's journey around Saturn, its rings and the other icy moons. More than 250 scientists from the USA, Europe and many other countries are directly involved with Cassini and Huygens. Now, these scientists have published for the first time all the results obtained since the arrival of the two probes.
DLR scientists were responsible for describing the geology of the icy moons – with the emphasis on Titan – as well as mapping the nine large icy moons. "Precise maps of all these bodies are one of the most important requirements for finding the answers to scientific questions," Prof. Jaumann explains. "Researchers can use them to investigate the scope of ice volcanism on mysterious Enceladus, how the strange light-dark division on the surface of Iapetus might be explained, why this moon has an up to 20-kilometre high mountain range along its equator, what causes the peculiar cracks on Tethys, Dione and Rhea, or how the 'lakes' on Titan are geographically distributed – to name but a few of the innumerable exciting topics."
Ali Baba: DLR cartographers use names from 'Arabian Nights' for new structures
The atlases for the large icy moons are being created under the direction of DLR physicist Dr Thomas Roatsch, using the images from the Cassini camera system. "We are constantly improving the maps of the moons," Dr Roatsch explains, "because the long duration of the mission means that there are repeated close flybys. These regularly give us new, detailed image data."
More precise pictures and maps reveal new surface phenomena. In planetary cartography, these are assigned names in accordance with specific rules made by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). "For Enceladus, characters and places from Arabian Nights were chosen for this purpose," Roatsch explains. So there is one map for the area of the northern polar region, for example, which is called Sindbad following DLR proposals and there are regions with the names Shahrazad (Scheherazade) and Ali Baba.
Cassini Saturn mission remains in 'equinox phase' until September - multi-year extension envisaged
Currently 61 moons of Saturn are known. Most of these moons are blocks of ice just a few kilometres across, but Titan, with a diameter of 5,150 kilometres, is the second largest satellite in the Solar System after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and the only one with a dense atmosphere. It is, therefore, one of the most interesting objects in planetary research.
Cassini-Huygens is a joint project of NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Italian space agency ASI. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena (California) is carrying out the mission for the NASA Science Directorate. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and built at JPL.
In Germany, DLR, the Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft; MPG), several universities and the German aerospace industry are scientifically involved in this mission. The main German contribution to the experiments on the Cassini orbiter consists of the provision of the cosmic dust analyser to investigate minute particles in space. The dust analyser investigates electrical charge, speed, course, mass and chemical composition. The mechanical components of the instrument were manufactured at DLR in Berlin under the direction of Dr Franz Lura.
Germany's financial contribution to the mission is about 120 million Euro. In this context, the DLR Space Agency has continuously supported the German contributions with funds from the federal government. The mission was extended for the first time in mid-2008 and christened 'Cassini Equinox Mission' because of the period on Saturn when day and night are equally long; it will officially end in September 2010. Further extensions of the mission are in prospect - until 2017 - and are being intensively prepared by NASA and the scientists involved.

|Top Online Data Backup Rankings
Despite broad agreement of the risks to business, only one third of UK firms ban staff from using public cloud services
LONDON, UK – February 27, 2015 – /BackupReview.info/ — Despite one third of UK firms banning public cloud from the workplace, its use appears endemic, unmanaged and unstoppable according to a new survey commissioned by Connected Data.
The survey of 100 UK businesses revealed stark concerns about the safety of the public cloud services, such as DropBox, Box and Amazon for sharing confidential data. However, despite this caution, the findings demonstrate that most employees' activity via these platforms generally goes unmonitored and unchecked in 64% of businesses.
The vast majority (90%) of IT decision makers believe that sharing sensitive data in the public cloud poses some level of risk.
However, despite this inherent mistrust, only one third (33%) have banned staff from using public cloud. Of the firms that do ban the use of public cloud at work, over half (58%) admit they would not know whether their employees are using it anyway.
Other key findings include:
The survey results go on to reveal that little is being done to protect organisations or staff against careless behaviour.
You're fired!
What's driving staff to the public cloud?
Dr. Geoff Barrall, CEO of Connected Data, commented, "While we shouldn't be overly surprised at the levels of mistrust in public cloud, we should be concerned by a growing pattern of employee behaviour that puts sensitive company data at risk. Penalties to staff are serious, yet the need to share files across different devices is leading them to break company policy and put their jobs on the line. The survey highlights how important it is to address this dilemma before more company data is lost or exposed."
Can private cloud solve the problem?
Barrall concluded: "Whilst we know employee behaviour cannot be changed overnight, there is a way to keep data safe and give employees the work tools they need. Private cloud solutions enable companies to take full responsibility by protecting their sensitive data whilst enabling their employees to do their jobs as efficiently as possible."

Salt water-powered electric car approved for roads in Europe
16 Sept. 2014 (dezeen Magazine)
"…[A] company that claims to have developed the first electric car powered by salt water says the vehicle has now been approved for testing on public roads in Germany and the EU…Nanoflowcell, which designed the Quant e-Sportlimousine, has received official approval to test…from German industry certification organisation TÜV Süd…In development for 14 years, the four-seated car measures roughly 5.25 metres in length and sports what its creators say is an entirely new kind of energy storage system, also called Nanoflowcell. The company claims that the automobile is capable of speeds of 350 kilometres per hour and acceleration of 0-100 kilometres per hour in just 2.8 seconds, and can travel distances of 600 kilometres with a full tank of a petrol made from a salt water solution…An electrochemical reaction is created by combining two liquids with metallic salts acting as the electrolyte. These solutions are pumped through a fuel cell where an anode or cathode electrode is located, creating electricity that is then forwarded to super capacitors within the car…[O]ne litre of the salty liquid contains 400 times more energy than a typical lead-acid battery, and the prototype car carries two 200-litre tanks on board, the company states…" click here for more

Eunice Kim puts modeling paste in a bottle and applies dots in the desired pattern onto a piece of mat board. After the dots have been applied she smooths the dots with a piece of paper and applies a coat of acrylic medium (this seals the plate). Kim desires simplicity within her art and uses her work to understand relationships.

|"The Marina" from Ashment's Alaska Series
Candice Ashment begins her printmaking by making her own paper which is extremely hardcore. As Ashment is making her own paper she also makes her collagraph plates. The majority of Ashment's work that I have seen has all been objective compared to Kim's whose isn't. As an example, the picture above is of a print from Ashment's Alaska series. Ashment makes her collagraph plates by layering a variety of materials. After the plates are finished she seals them similarly to Kim, and begins printing. Ashment prints the plates with black ink and then goes back into them with watercolor. For more information on Candice Ashment please click the link above.
*Disclaimer*: These are just a few of the artists that I like, and for the "A Part Of A Whole" project your collagraph tiles don't have to be like the ones above at all. I'd be happy if you did a few squiggles with Elmer's glue or glued a leaf down.

I found making a tarte aux fraises a surprisingly easy and enjoyable experience. I had always thought that French recipes were extremely complicated and required nothing but gourmet ingredients. In reality, we could get everything we needed at the grocery store. Thankfully, the recipe was also very easy to follow, and definitely wasn't the long and drawn out process I'd imagined. The most difficult part for me was arranging the strawberry slices on the tarte. While I had pictured it in the style of Martha Stewart, with perfectly symmetrical slices in some sort of pretty pattern, in the end realized all I really wanted to do was hurry up and try some of it. We sprinkled it with sugar (I wasn't adventurous enough to try mascarpone) and tasted our creation.While our tartes might not have looked perfect, they were absolutely divine!

You hear it on the nightly news and network morning shows. You read about it in newspapers, self-help books and magazine covers. Everybody is supposedly doing it and wanting to learn how to do it better. Therefore, it must be a good thing-Right?
Wrong, just because it makes a good sound bite and EVERYBODY wants to say he or she is doing it does not make it right for you. (Didn't your mother ever give you the 'If everyone is jumping off a cliff does that mean you should' speech?) Are we so programmed that we are eager to jump on the latest bandwagon without questioning the validity for ourselves?
Multi-tasking sounds like a great idea but the premise is false; you cannot possibly be doing several tasks with equal attention and emphasis. If you have ever driven on the interstate and watched someone put on their makeup, tie a tie, or dive for something on the floorboard as they hurl their vehicle down the road at 75 miles an hour, you know what I mean. That being said, I admit to being a victim of the multi-tasking mindset until I realized that I was losing focus. I was doing several things in mediocre fashion and not even remembering most of it.
There are plenty of people, organizations, and companies ready to solve your time management dilemmas. I did a Google search for time management and came up with 756,000.000 sites. If you really want to multi-task and waste a lot of time, sort through all those someday! In the past couple of days I have run across the following article titles:
-11 Time Management Tips
-5 Categories for Effective Time Management
-12 Easy Ways to Organize Your Work Life
-10 Quick Time Management Tips
-Top 10 Time Management and Productivity Tools
Titles like these leave me wondering, is it 10 tips or 11? If more is better, maybe I should go with the 39 tools. Is a category better than a tip? How can there be 39 tools if someone just told me there were 12 easy ways?
Time management tips, books, and articles are as prevalent as diet books and should be treated the same way. There are undoubtedly some good ideas in all of them, but that does not mean every method or idea is right for you. You will have to make choices. Choices require thought, reflection, and being honest with yourself.
It is often easier to accept someone else's solution or opinion, but they rarely work for us. Multi-tasking can be a form of avoidance used to distract us from facing the situation and doing what needs to be done. To gain focus so you can make intelligent choices on how to best use your time, try the following exercises.
1. During the day, preferably first thing in the morning or last thing at night, empty your mind. Do this without distractions and interruptions. This can be done by writing out everything that is on your mind or sit quietly and mentally click through what is junking up your brain and visualize dumping the contents into a dumpster. Experiment and find out what works best for you. As you do this, you will begin to notice recurring patterns, concerns, and even worries. List them, invest your time, and deal with them so you are free. Often dealing with them means changing the way you view them or your attitudes.
2. You may not realize it, but every waking moment your brain is filled with mind chatter. This internal conversation is framing the way you see yourself and everything that happens to you, and most of it is negative and judgmental. Your mind chatter, or whatever you choose to call it, makes you feel both afraid to do something and guilty if you do not. Good news! Research shows that even a slight decrease in your negative self-talk increases your ability to respond to the world more creatively. My favorite way to combat negative messages is the rubber band trick.
Wear a rubber band around your left wrist if you are right-handed or your right wrist if you are left-handed. Each time you catch yourself thinking negatively, pull on the rubber band and give yourself a flick. I guarantee this will wake you up and make you take notice! If your wrist is red and swollen at the end of the day you know your negatives out weigh your positives. I use it myself and like it so much I had special rubber bands made to use and share with others

"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a Spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe – a Spirit vastly superior to that of man." - Albert Einstein
"I can tell you as a result of my research on the atom this much. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." - Max Planck
Writing Prompt
What did you learn from these two quotes (from two of the most famous physicists in history)? What are your thoughts in response to these quotes? Please write as much as you like. You may write a speech or a journal entry (freewriting).
To stimulate your thoughts on the issue, you may address some of the following questions. What do you think Einstein and Planck meant? Why do you think they came to this conclusion? Who is this vastly superior Spirit, as Einstein mentioned, or this conscious and intelligent mind mentioned by Planck? Who is this Spirit to you? Have you observed evidence of this vastly superior Spirit? Have you experienced this vastly superior Spirit in your life? Please describe and explain.

When I was a teenager I dreamed of getting married to an Italian one day. I even remember listening to Carmen one day on the radio and telling my mom I was going to marry an Italian even if I have to go to Italy to find one. Little did I know my Italian only lived 10 miles away at the time and would one day tow my car off of a rock for me (that's how we met).
Isn't he the cutest Italian you have ever seen?
The girls had soooo much fun decorating daddy's cake for him. Jaxson was too sick to help.
This is our little sick one who could use some prayer for sure. Poor little Jaxson has had the flu for 4 days and is not keeping much at all down. Please pray he gets better very soon or we will be heading to the ER this weekend. Jaxson is just too tiny to lose anymore weight than he already has. I also want him to be able to enjoy Christmas in the morning.

- Synopsis:
A haunted theatre, filled with the vengeful spirits of a tragically-trapped performance troupe murdered in a fire 13 years ago, waits for the once-grand palatial playhouse to re-open with a new show ... and bring in new victims.. Starring Ruby Lin, Simon Yam, and Tony Yang.
What first attracted me to this film was the cover art. The brilliant reds on top of the sea of blue shadows. I knew this was going to look spectacular and I was not disappointed. Sure the premise is as old as live theater its self but the imagery and performances in this one surpass the recognizable script. - Matt Mungle
