Earth Observations
The Copernicus Climate Change Service is still in the development phase and, in addition to national capabilities, will capitalise on a series of earth observation projects. These include ESA projects and the 2013 FP7 Space call related to climate modelling and observation analyses.
These projects address the following issues:
- Global 20th century re-analysis and coupling methods,
- Ensemble system of regional re-analyses
- Traceable quality assurance system for multidecadal essential climate variables
- Provision of access to simulated and observed climate datasets and climate indicator toolbox
- Attribution products
In the near future, the service will be also be supported by data and products from the Sentinel satellites. All missions will contribute to building comprehensive, long-term datasets of some of the essential climate variables.
Policy makers will gain a wealth of reliable information to help them better quantify the risks and opportunities linked to climate change and thereby better plan future climate policies supporting improved quality of life for European citizens.

Detailed Description
Five Time Grammy Award Winner Feist with her latest 2011 album on 180 Gram Vinyl!
Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Feist is joined by her longtime collaborators Chilly Gonzales and Mocky for her fourth studio album, Metals. The trio spent a frigid month in Toronto to arrange these 12 songs
"Trying to sound like we had played together as long as we'd collectively known each other, around 50 years,"
then decamped for California's rugged Big Sur coastline to record them.
"Recording can be a weightless free float from your day-life, and I like to pick places with certain fertile qualities that can give me a visual hook that I'm there to do something other than what I would otherwise do. And that clean line between land and see, the graphic edge of the continent pointing out toward the east... meaning not the Atlantic "next stop Europe" feeling, but "next stop somewhere you've never been,"
Feist says.
"Plus, you are somewhere that looks completely unfound and yet it's been so perfectly recorded literarily. Steinbeck made 1000 albums there! Henry Miller and Anais Nin probably considered that line between land and sea, too. And on top of it, we truly found the perfect room to build a studio in, perched on the cliffs. A giant empty space."
Metals' songs range from low rumbling and moody ambiences to brutal and intense, as if it sonically maps the fog rolling in and the resulting cracking of thunder. "
There's a lot more chaos and movement and noise than I've had before,"
Feist says.
"I allowed for mistakes more than I ever have, which end up not being mistakes when you open things up and make room for them. It was about un-simplifying things and leaning on these masterful minds I have so much respect for. We were sort of testing the air, like a sea captain licks his finger to see which way the wind is coming from. It was less Brill Building and more naturalistic."
Feist earned five Grammy Awards plus a nomination for Best New Artist for the 2007 album "The Reminder", which contained the single "1-2-3-4". She was the top winner at the 2008 Juno Awards in Calgary with five awards, including Songwriter of the Year, Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, Album of the Year and Single of the Year.
"Feist returns with raw follow-up... Canadian songwriter crafts gorgeous new disc."
- Rolling Stone
"(Metals) is a gorgeous collection of overtly poppy tunes, cinematic art-rock, and strummy ballads."

When Lauren Bigelow drove into downtown Detroit last year for a dinner event at the historic Madison building, she witnessed a surprising sight. As she passed through areas where the automotive industry decline and the economic recession hit hardest, and through neighborhoods where property values had fallen 80 percent over the course of three years, she looked up and saw a light on the horizon -- literally.
Less than a mile away from the Madison, the lights of Comerica Park were on, illuminating the stadium's all-brick exterior, the giant stone tigers with baseballs in their teeth, and all of downtown Detroit, weeks after the baseball season had ended.
Bigelow was driving in with the team organizing the Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition. The competition is one of many efforts to jumpstart the state's recovery, and it was the host of the VIP dinner party at the Madison that evening. Bigelow later learned that through mutual connections between supporters of the competition and the stadium owner, the lights had been turned on specifically for the event.
"It was really cool that two billionaires would help each other out like that for a business competition," Bigelow said. "It just showed the camaraderie and companionship we have built around revitalizing the city and the region."
Bigelow is the CEO of the Growth Capital Network and the executive director of the innovation competition, which awards students and later-stage entrepreneurial companies prizes of $25,000 and $500,000 respectively to catalyze their ideas and companies.
"We're looking for those companies for which the prize is going to be nitrous in their tank," Bigelow said. "We're hoping that the companies that get that infusion of cash will also get the visibility and the platform for more interest from investors."
The student portion of the competition is run around ideas, Bigelow said, and doesn't require submissions to have a concrete product yet. Students who have a great idea can submit it for consideration, get experience presenting in front of judges, and connect with other resources that will be valuable in the future.
"We really want them to find a love match," Bigelow said. "A mentor relationship, or maybe a potential investor who could help get an idea off the ground so when they graduate, they can start their business and have a network around them."
The second part of the competition is for later-stage entrepreneurial companies that already have a prototype or business plan. "The focus of the company competition is to get their pitches polished, get them more practice in front of venture capitalists, feedback on a national scale, and getting the companies networked in," Bigelow said.
By having both students and later-stage startups involved, the competition is able to help companies that are at various stages along the "food chain of entrepreneurship," as Bigelow calls it.
Bigelow started the competition after being approached by the heads of two local organizations focused on spurring growth in the area, the New Economy Initiative for Southeast Michigan and Ann Arbor SPARK. Unbeknownst to the two organizations, a group called the Business Leaders for Michigan was trying to organize a similar competition at the same time.
"Both forces were trying to do the same thing," Bigelow recalled. "They decided to convene and partner and start the competition together."
It wasn't the last coalition forged via the Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition.
Last year, the competition received a three-year grant from the State of Michigan's Economic Development Corporation to form a public-private partnership. The competition is now made up of a variety of different players in the community who are all working together to re-establish Michigan as a thriving, innovative area.
"It's a really unique blend of corporate foundations, Universities, incubators, accelerators and the State," Bigelow said. "[The mix] is really powerful."

Best Brock Costume Guide
Dress up like Brock, one of the main characters from Nintendo's Pokémon franchise. As the former Gym Leader of Pewter City, Brock, the rock-type Pokémon specialist, joins Ash Ketchum and Misty on their travels to become Pokémon masters.

Outfit yourself like Brock with Brown Star Wars Belt Pouches, Herschel Supply Little America Navy Backpack, and Green Utility Vest with Pockets or Military Multi Pocket Vest.
Brock Cosplay Costumes
Brock is one of the main characters from Nintendo's Pokémon franchise. Brock is introduced into the series as the leader of the Pewter City Gym. After losing his battle to Ash, Brock abandons his duties as gym leader and joins Ash on his journey with his own aspirations of becoming the world's greatest Pokémon breeder. Being the noticeably tallest member of Ash's group, Brock is also known for being the most mature and level headed (likely due to him being the oldest). Though he is often the most knowledgeable and prepared of the group, all his maturity flies out the window at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he is often seen being dragged off by Misty.
Brock's spiked hair and almost constantly closed eyes make his look a memorable one. Although his character did undergo slight costume changes during the series, Brock is almost always seen wearing the colors brown, orange, and green with blue shoes.
About Brock
Brock is originally from Pewter City, where he is not only the leader of the Pewter city Gym but also helps care for his many brothers and sisters. Brock's character is known for his selflessness and maturity as well as his impressive knowledge of Pokémon. Although Brock originally aspires to become a Pokémon breeder for much of the series, he later decides becoming a Pokémon doctor would be best suited for his skills. Brock is a fan of rock-type Pokémon. Some of his most popular Pokémon on the show were Onix, Geodude, and Zubat. Brock's character easily bonds with the different Pokémon he enconuters, making him the perfect addition to Ash's crew.

Teach.com Launches First-Ever Rankings of the 100 Best Education News Sites/Blogs
Jan 09, 2013, 10:00 EST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Teach.com announces the launch of Teach100, a first of its kind ranking of the 100 best and most influential education blogs and news sites. Teach100 allows users to quickly see the education blogs their community is reading, explore topics the blogs are covering, and decide which blogs they want to follow or add to their existing reading list. The ranking is updated daily and can be found at www.Teach.com/Teach100.
Teach.com aims to inspire new teachers to join the field of education and to serve as an informational and inspirational resource for those who may not know where to start their careers. Teach100 was developed to help educators or anyone interested in the subject become more engaged with the education blogosphere.
Teach100 considers for inclusion any blog that focuses on issues in the field of education, ranging from early childhood to postsecondary education. Blogs may feature topical issues such as teaching styles, education reform, the hard sciences or other education-related topics. They are ranked on a quantitative scoring system that takes into account a range of considerations, including social metrics, activity and authority.
Teach100 ranks each education blog on the following factors:
- Social (40%) — Engagement as determined through combined Facebook shares, Tweets and StumbleUpon visits to the blog. Ranking is also based on the number of shares pointing back to the blog's 10 most recent posts and its main domain.
- Activity (20%) — The frequency of a blog's updates. The more frequently a blog is updated, the higher its activity score.
- Authority (20%) — The overall authority and influence relative to the rest of the web as determined by the number of sites linking to the blog. This methodology is one of the foundations of the Google Search Algorithm and is a commonly used measure of a website's authority.
- Teach Score (20%) — This is the single subjective factor in the evaluation of Teach100. The Teach Score considers how media is used throughout a blog, how topics in education are discussed, the timeliness of blog content, the capacity to inform and the overall presentation of the blog.
As of today, near the top of the Teach100, are blogs from Inside Higher Ed, The Learning Network, Edutopia, Free Technology for Teachers, Homeroom, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Teacher Network Blog, On Our Minds, Eduwonk and Busy Teacher.
Any blogger or webmaster can submit their education-related blog to Teach100, and it will be included if it meets three criteria: at least half of the content pertains directly to education, the blog is at least six months old and the blog has more than 50 individual posts. Once approved, blogs are ranked and included in the next update. Ranked blogs can also embed a dynamic widget to display Teach100's top 10 on their own blog or website.
Teach.com and Teach100 were developed and maintained in partnership with USC Rossier Online.
About Teach.com
Teach.com aims to discover, discuss and encourage great teaching around the world. The website offers a comprehensive educational resource for current and aspiring teachers, including information on teacher preparation and certification in any state across the country, profiles of great teachers and the tactics they use and much more.

Have an ideas? Something you would like to share? Maybe a gripe or a complaint?

HI Gregg,
I have just inherited a 10 gauge Neumann Bros side by side. The same gun is shown on this good gun alert http://www.dogsanddoubles.com/2013/12/good-gun-alert-a-10-gauge-3-12-neumann-sxs-shotgun/ , mine is not in as good shape as the one shown in this post. I am hoping to use the gun for waterfowl, do you have any suggestions on shells or where to find reloading materials? I assume I can;t shoot steel through it.
Greg I have 12 gauge Lc smith o grade type 3 I believe I have the paperwork from Cody museum I would like to sell it it has 4 numbers (serial) English stock 28 " barrels ebony tip on stock very good condition engraving has quail and woodcock are you interested
Just got a Lefever double in the store was interested if you can give me some insight and possible value….
Its a higher grade side-plate gun, serial No. 30760
Nicely engraved 12 bore with two sets of correctly serial numbered damascus barrels.
Period leather hard case and extra barrel case.
Checkering is worn as is the "dog's head" medallion on the forearm.
Wood is nicely figured, original finish, no apparent cracks or chips.
Tried attaching a couple pics taken with phone but they wouldn't take…..if you need or want pics, you can email or give me a call.
Hope Lexi is adapting to Sky's antics which only a puppy can bring…my Briar (the English Cocker) is still the little scoundrel that she was born..and making Brutus the Golden's life hell….
I inherited a John Krider percussion shotgun, looks like 12 gauge, with a 28″ barrel, and a "Cooper" percussion shotgun, 30″ barrel. The Cooper doesn't say anything else except "Fine laminated steel". I tried sending photos to you, but they didn't go.
My great-grandfather was a blacksmith to the Ojibwa in Crow Wing, MN starting in 1849, and seemed to eat a lot of game. The shotguns are in fair condition.
If you can give me a better address, I can send plenty of photos so you can take a look.
Any advice you can give on how to restore them (I won't do it myself) will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the great blog.
await serial number & if possible images of the lockplates of the 20g woodward
I just received the following 410 Merkel that I believe you had for sale back in 2013. Is there anything you can tell me about the provenance of that piece? Also do you still have that 28 bore Beretta S55? Please email me or you are welcome to leave me your phone # and I will give you a call.
#14746, Gebruder Merkel, Suhl – Germany: A 410 Merkel from Suhl in Model 301E Made in 1929 on a Best 300 Series Action.
Thank you for your interest in Champlin Firearms.
George L. Caswell
Hi Gregg,

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama praised the courage of National Football League hopeful Michael Sam, whose disclosure he is gay has launched a debate over whether the league is ready for its first openly gay player, White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday.
"I have spoken about this with him and he, like the first lady, like so many others, admires Michael Sam's courage and believes that the action he has taken is an important step and looks forward to seeing him playing in the NFL," Carney told reporters at a briefing.
Sam starred as a defensive lineman at the University of Missouri and is expected to be selected in the upcoming NFL draft, where stand-out college players can earn million-dollar salaries. While the NFL and many of Sam's teammates have rallied around him, some commentators have been less enthusiastic.

'Teen Mom' star turned porn star Farrah Abraham was rendered virtually unrecognizable after a lip procedure went haywire.
Abraham posted several photos of herself post-procedure on Twitter -- including a photo alongside Futurama character 'Leela.'

TMZ reports that Abraham had an implant put in her lip instead of the traditional injections because it was supposed to last longer, and may have had an allergic reaction.
She is probably hoping that is the case, and that the change in her appearance is not permanent.

K-celeb siblings: Unpretty Rapstar's Sua and ASTRO's Moon Bin
Eagle-eyed fans may have noticed a familiar face in the crowd during the semi-finals of Upretty Rapstar Season 2. When host SanE announced the families of the semi-finalists, ASTRO member and To Be Continued star Moon Bin was there to cheer on his younger sister, Sua!
Sua is the youngest contestant on this season of Unpretty Rapstar. The 16-year-old rapper is a currently a YG trainee hoping to make her debut. Sua's full name is Moon Sua, and her older brother is 17-year-old Moon Bin of Fantagio's new idol-actor group ASTRO, which just made their debut through the web series To Be Continued earlier this year.
Since the two are just over a year and a half apart in age, they have always been very close. There are even adorable videos of them playing together as children!
You totally see the little sister/bg brother dynamic in this one. So funny!
Could these two possibly be any cuter?
And, last but not least, one of them practicing their dance moves. Sua only turned 16 in September, but she has been a YG trainee for over 5 years!
Are you rooting for Sua in her battle against Yubin in the semi-finals? The episode featuring their battle will be available on DramaFever next week! In the meantime, see if you can spot Moon Bin n the first half of the semi-finals below:

How can I find out about internships?
Curatorial internships for graduates (usually working 1 day a week for 6 months) are usually advertised on our website twice a year, in May and November.
Internships provide valuable experience in a national collection.
Interns in our Archive and Curatorial departments provide collections-related assistance. Interns in these posts work directly with Curators, so must demonstrate an interest in the chosen period.

The culmination of the Stafford Urban Symphony project took place on Friday 29 April 2011, when students from Cardinal Griffin Catholic High School joined forces with Camerata's creative team to produce their own piece of work in response to the majestic Elizabethan architecture of Stafford's Ancient High House.
|The Ancient High House is without doubt one of the finest Tudor buildings in the country, making it a perfect choice for our project. Having once dominated Stafford's skyline, it is now the largest remaining timber framed town house in England. Pupils from Cardinal Griffin Catholic High School in Stafford worked with composer Andy Smith, film maker Russ Armstrong and Camerata musicians Ben Hudson and Esther Ingham to create their own music and film inspired by the design and history of this incredible Elizabethan building.
|At the start of the four day project, the class had a day to explore the town house along with the team and tour guide Penny Holdcroft, examining the architectural features and using music and drama to focus on associations with King Charles I and the English Civil War. The students learnt about the history of the building and took film to form the backdrop to their music. This was then followed by three days back at school in which the students edited the film and began to create their own soundtrack.

An excerpt
Mac Anderson
Not long ago, a friend sent me the story of "Old Warwick." It brought a smile to my face, and I think it shares a wonderful lesson for every leader to learn.
A man was lost while driving through the country. As he tried to reach for the map, he accidentally drove off the road into a ditch. Thought he wasn't injured, his car was stuck deep in the mud. So the man walked to a nearby farm to ask for help. "Warwick can get you out of that ditch," said the farmer, pointing to an old mule standing in a field. The man looked at the decrepit old mule and looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating,
"Yep, old Warwick can do the job." The man figured he had nothing to lose. The two men and the mule made their way back to the ditch. The farmer hitched the mule to the car. With a snap of the reins, he shouted,
"Pull, Fred! Pull, Jack! Pull, Ted! Pull, Warwick!"
And the mule pulled that car right out of the ditch.
The man was amazed. He thanked the farmer, patted the mule, and asked, "Why did you call out all of those names before you called Warwick?"
The farmer grinned and said, "Old Warwick is just about blind. As long as he believes he's part of a team, he doesn't mind pulling."
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to obtain uncommon results

Air traffic controllers are tasked with ensuring that the skies are safe by guiding the myriad of aircraft that are airborne at any given time in the nation. An air traffic controller is basically responsible for directing private, commercial, and military aircraft from the time they take off until the time they return back to Terra Firma. Their work helps guarantee the safety of pilots, passengers, and cargo 24/7, 365-days-a-year.
Duties of an Air Traffic Controller
Air traffic controllers man the more than 350 control towers, communication facilities, and radar centers throughout the nation. In addition to clearing traffic for landing or taking off, they also issue weather advisories and monitoring the in-flight progress of the thousands of aircraft that are aloft at any given time. Air traffic controllers also play a role in national defense by identifying illegal aircraft that have violated national airspace.
With this much responsibility on their plate at any given time, air traffic controllers' work under very stressful circumstances, and efforts are made to break up their schedule to maintain alertness. As such, they tend to work rotating shifts, which feature working "on position" for upwards of two hours followed by a thirty minute break. Research has proven that when controllers work longer than that their performance and efficacy rapidly drops.
Core Skills and Training Required of Air Traffic Controllers
Certain core skills typically accompany the successful aircraft controller to work. As a group, they are generally well-organized, quick with computations, demonstrate strong decision making skills, and exhibit excellent communication abilities. Moreover, since the position is largely deemed as one of the most mentally challenging careers available, trainees undergo thorough physical and psychological testing to ensure that they are up to the demanding physical and mental rigors of the job.
There are three major pathways to becoming an air traffic controller:
- The military provides a steady reservoir of available candidates who have received specialized training from the FAA or the Department of Defense.
- Four years of college, or combination of study and three years of related work experience.
- Completion of a certified program in aviation at one of the FAA's Air Traffic Training Initiative.
New employees must also complete a 12-week program at the FAA's Oklahoma City academy prior to placement in one of the nation's control towers. As one might expect, air traffic controllers are highly compensated for their skills, and competition is sharp whenever a position opens.

Responding to the Planning magazine findings that having an up-to-date local plan appears to make little difference to how many of a council's decisions are overturned at appeal Stepehen Tapper, former President of POS and the Society's current Local & Neighbourhood Planning Subject Specialist, said that more research is needed to ascertain why appeal success rates are similar between councils with local plans and those without.
Tapper suggests that windfall sites outside a local plan can become available, prompting applications refused by a council but accepted by the secretary of state.
Tapper, currently advising East Herts DC which does not have an up-to-date plan, said he uses the NPPF, along with the recent NPPG, to assess major applications. tapper commented "It's been an effective set of policies to judge those applications. But the fundamental issue for councils is that, without an up-to-date local plan, you are much more vulnerable in terms of sites coming forward in a structured way."

How High Can New Bellator Champ Attila Vegh Climb?March 1, 2013
Attila Vegh is Bellator's official light heavyweight champion today after handily out-hustling Christian M'Pumbu for five rounds last night in the main event of Bellator 91.
Vegh used aggression and a varied offense to grind M'Pumbu down for 25 minutes.
It was an impressive win for the Slovakia-born light heavyweight, who moves his Bellator record to 5-0. Vegh now boasts 29 total professional victories against only four defeats and a pair of draws.
Having already secured victories against the likes of M'Pumbu, Travis Wiuff, Emanuel Newton and Zelg Galesic, Vegh has made a statement: tough competition doesn't intimidate him.
His next challenger likely comes in the form of the current tournament victor. Mikhail Zayats and Emanuel Newton have punched their tickets to the tourney final and will meet sometime in the weeks to come. Both men propose different weapons and strengths. Both are very experienced.
Newton has already battled Vegh. The two met at Bellator 72, where Vegh eked out a razor-thin split decision win. Despite having failed to earn a W in that fight, the experience alone should prove a confidence booster for "The Hardcore Kid."
He knows exactly what to expect of the current champion. He's taken him to the brink and (in the eyes of some) arguably deserved the nod in doing so.
Zayats isn't quite as explosive as Newton, but he's crafty. He knows how to win, where to win and when to be there to capitalize on the opening. That's instinctual, you don't just learn that, you're born with it, you develop and master it.
Zayats can dethrone Vegh with strikes, and he can use some underrated submission skills to end the fight. He's got options. The question is, does he have the physical fortitude to stand up to the heavy hands of Vegh?
Some of the proposed questions will be answered in the months to come. But plenty of questions still hang in the balance.
What if Vegh manages to beat the season 8 light heavyweight tournament winner? Who gets thrown to the lion?
There's no doubt the promotion had hoped to continue building Muhammed Lawal as an outspoken and always-dangerous superstar.
Newton threw a monkey wrench right at those plans at Bellator 90 when he left Lawal a half-conscious, crumpled up mess on the canvas after a perfectly placed spinning back-fist stiffened the former Strikeforce champion in the first round.
Renato "Babalu" Sobral currently competes for Bellator, but he too is coming off a first-round stoppage defeat administered by Mikhail Zayats.
Having already beaten a handful of the promotion's best light heavyweights, Vegh has few options as light heavyweight champion.
If he blasts his way through his next challenger, he'll already sit in a shaky seat with little in the way of clearly-defined challengers waiting in the wings.
It may be time for Bjorn Rebney to do a little extra talent scouting.

Making Masterpiece: 25 Years Behind the Scenes at Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! on PBS by Rebecca Eaton
I first began watching Masterpiece, the acclaimed PBS series, when I was nineteen, precisely the year when PBS and WGBH were rebranding the series from the famous Masterpiece Theatre to the sleeker, more modern Masterpiece and its three chapters: Masterpiece Classic, Masterpiece Mystery!, and Masterpiece Contemporary. Having recently finished all of Jane Austen's novels, as well as being an aspiring Anglophile and burgeoning costume drama devotee, I was hooked on the prospect of the upcoming Complete Jane Austen, the collection of adaptations Masterpiece would be airing which covered each of Austen's finished novels. I watched, I fell in love with Masterpiece, and I stayed with it in complete dedication – through Inspector Lewis and Cranford to Little Dorrit and Zen; of course to Downton Abbey and Sherlock, all the way to Mr. Selfridge, Silk, and The Paradise. I instantly connected with Masterpiece as an outlet for both my Anglophilia and my fascination with seeing history – especially that of the literary variety – captured on the screen, and I grew to greatly admire the lady behind the curtain on my side of the Atlantic: Masterpiece's executive producer, Rebecca Eaton. Needless to say, when I realized she had written a book, Making Masterpiece, about the beloved Masterpiece Theatre and its original sister program Mystery!, I was understandably ecstatic. Although the book is subtitled 25 Years Behind the Scenes at Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! On PBS, Eaton goes above and beyond this premise to give viewers a detailed journey through the history of Masterpiece even before she took over as the third executive producer.
Enlisting the help of colleagues and friends involved in the series, Eaton takes on the role of a journalist, piecing together the story of a series that continues to change the course of television. She starts off with the first blockbuster program of the '70s, before Masterpiece was Masterpiece and before PBS was even PBS: the original Forsyte Saga. She then walks us through the diverse and equally groundbreaking dramas that continued to build up Masterpiece and Mystery alike: Upstairs, Downstairs and The Jewel in the Crown, Inspector Morse and Agatha Christie's Poitot, Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes and Helen Mirren's Prime Suspect, and so on. She tells us all about Alistair Cooke, the original and most iconic Masterpiece host, about the history of the show's sponsorships, her experiences traveling to London to work with her co-producers at the BBC, later being photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair, and she even filters in relevant stories from her personal life along the way. With interludes from the likes of former WGBH president Henry Becton, Downton creator Julian Fellowes, and luminaries like Dame Eileen Atkins, Elizabeth McGovern, and Kenneth Branagh, Making Masterpiece has a way of reflecting Eaton's appreciation for the sort of group effort that goes into making television magic happen.
Her narrative is just charming. Unassuming, genuine and kind, Eaton shows her stripes as her reader's comrade in Anglophilia, paying homage to the history of the beloved Masterpiece series with respect, detail, and excitement. Her enthusiasm over the show's programming is infectious, and her asides about her personal encounters with her own British heroes are delightful, smile-inducing glimpses for the reader as well. There were so many insights here that I'm grateful for: getting to experience the pieces of Masterpiece's history that I wasn't part of, such as Upstairs, Downstairs, as well as the chance to know about some of the stories that don't make it to PBS primetime. Her account of a doomed attempt to produce a drama with Robin Williams playing Mark Twain was especially exciting, and I made a note of the book Eaton was inspired by (Mark and Livy by Resa Willis) so I can hopefully read it and imagine the miniseries-that-never-was. Little nuances like this are what make Making Masterpiece a timeless experience for fans of the series, whether they're longtime devotees or new arrivals with the popularity of Downton Abbey and Sherlock.
Eaton, who seems to have remained a rather private presence at the helm of Masterpiece, reveals herself with grace and attentiveness, and a good deal of humility. She's an admirable woman who does a remarkable job; I loved the way she could laugh at herself – admitting to blunders in her career – and also talk seriously about the personal triumphs and struggles of her life, from her relationship with her parents to her unfulfilled dreams of a big family. She sings the praises of her only daughter Katharine with charm and eloquence; much as she sings the praises of the countless friends, colleagues, supporters, and valiant workers who have all played pivotal roles in the drama of Masterpiece's history. She writes with detail and plenty of heart, inviting the reader into both a cozy conversation and a rich journey through the history of a cultural phenomenon.

Analyze My Dream/Nightmare, Part 3
Okay, so as you will see in the picture here, I fell asleep in TV HAIR AND MAKE-UP, which is so much more disgusting than regular hair and make-up, as it is an orange shade that comes off on your pillow and all kinds of toxic hair products that make it so that you can build a foot-high intricate sculpture on top of your head and it will stay that way (I tried this last night before passing out). You will also see that I let my puppy sleep in the bed with me. Bad all around!
Anyway, the dream: (for this, I am going to get off this iPhone and go type on my laptop--back in a second). Xo
Ok, so I had a lengthy nightmare last night (after falling asleep on the couch in front of my non-functioning TV with my head on my Hello Kitty backpack, in case you want to picture that ridiculousness, and then moving into my own bed in the middle of the night): I was without my daughter Charlotte but on vacation in Germany with Courteney Cox (yes, even my dreams have name-drops) in this big kind of rickety house with multiple floors. It was distressing to me that Charlotte wasn't there, but Coco wasn't there either and Courteney and I were determined to be okay with that and have a good time. I kept breaking things, including part of the fence that went around the property, which was troubling because we were just renting the place and wanted to keep it in good shape for the owners (even though it was pretty rickety, as I said, and there was old food in the fridge and stuff). Also, it was troubling to break the fence because of potential paparazzi action for Courteney; there was little chance of that, as we had picked the place because it was very remote.
Then on day two of this vacation, a bunch of Courteney's cousins were coming to join us. I continued breaking things, falling asleep when I should have been at the dinner where I was meeting some of these cousins for the first time, eating this salt that was actually special Celtic Sea Salt for putting into this water mixture for a detox some of the other people in the house were doing -- just messing up, in general. Also, in the room I was staying in, my clothes were strewn all over the floor and began being strewn all over the house. That night, after sleeping through dinner, I woke up and Courteney was asleep in her room and I went downstairs and there in the living room was this scene: the front door was open and three guys were lying tied up in their underwear on the fold-out couch. Another guy was torturing them in all kinds of ways. A couple of girls were watching. The torturer then took me by the throat and outside and threatened me, at which point I broke away from him and ran around to the back entrance to get back upstairs.
I waited until Courteney woke up to tell her what had happened, but before I could get dressed (as my stuff was strewn all over and I ended up grabbing someone else's pants and shirt to wear and they didn't fit), people were all playing music on the front lawn. They were playing the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love," so I was super excited and grabbed my violin to go and play with them. When I did, I dropped my iPhone and it broke completely. I kept trying to hold it together, knowing it was, on this trip, my only method of communication with you (that means you, whoever has made it this far in this rambling story). It was really upsetting to me that my iPhone was broken, but I knew that no one else would understand how upsetting that was. I felt very alone.
Okay, I know that there is pretty much nothing more boring than hearing someone else's dream. Even with a significant other, you are usually thinking, "Yeah, well, this is interesting to YOU, because YOU just experienced it, but to me, it is a bunch of rambling crap that I don't have time to re-live with you." Or maybe that's just mean me.
In any case, I have loved your dream analyses in the past, if you'd care to weigh in. I'd love it. (I wonder if the iPhone thing had anything to do with Steve Jobs passing. Or a combo of that and my workaholic tendencies.) Also, if you want to put your recent dreams in the comments, I will be happy to tell you what I think they might mean too. In any case, thanks for listening.
xo and feeling like a mess,

As you all know last night Trump doubled down on this threat to try and shut down media companies:
Network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake that licenses must be challenged and, if appropriate, revoked. Not fair to public!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2017
Later last night Ben Sasse had this response to Trump's threat:
Mr. President:— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) October 12, 2017
Are you recanting of the Oath you took on Jan. 20 to preserve, protect, and defend the 1st Amendment? pic.twitter.com/XLB7QXM3bQ
Despite the fact that these MSM companies don't have licenses like their affiliates do, I think it's a good question and one that Trump should answer.
As both Sooper and I argued yesterday, shutting down media companies isn't the way to fight bad reporting. That's what authoritarians do in countries like Turkey and they do it to silence their critics.
Aside from his threatening tweets, Trump actually handled the 'fake news' rather well yesterday, disputing it on Twitter and getting his Secretary of Defense to corroborate his side of the story by releasing a strong statement against the story.
In fact he's still tweeting about it today.
The Fake News Is going all out in order to demean and denigrate! Such hatred!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2017
Trump has a big Twitter account with tens of millions of followers. He should stick to putting out the truth and stay away from threats to bully and intimidate the media.
Apparently Hannity doesn't like this tweet at all:
One of the biggest mistakes in my career was supporting @BenSasse Just useless. https://t.co/bYReWFdfKO
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) October 12, 2017
I don't know why. It seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Pipeliner CRM User Permissions Management
Pipeliner CRM's user permissions management are, like all other Pipeliner features, visual and intuitive
User rights management for a CRM application can be crucially important to a company. CRM is the storehouse and operating environment for sales data—which must remain accurate and in the right place always. Rights need to be accurately set for all CRM users so that data integrity and accuracy is always preserved.
Administrators will love Pipeliner CRM's new User Permissions Management features—they have been made simple, easy and best of all, like all other Pipeliner features, visual.
User Permissions Management - simple, easy and visual
Sales Units Management - gain a better picture of the organization
User Management - all users in one place
Sales Units
Within sales units, administrators can manage unit hierarchy, and the users that are within the units. You can select and invite users to a specific sales unit, and edit their user access rights. You can select the user roles for a user.
Administrators can also indicate a Parent Sales Unit to the sales unit for users, to gain a better picture of organization. An administrator can also filter according to a Parent Sales Unit.
From the Users view, all users are listed in one place, including those that have been deactivated. Deactivated users can be reactivated with 1 click.
User Roles
Administrators can create User Roles within Pipeliner, and then set many different properties for user roles.
Slide bars set the access level for each role, and each access level has its own rights, which the administrator can also set.
Accounts can be turned completely on or off for a role.
Probably the most significant improvement that has been made in Pipeliner user rights management is in relation to multiple pipelines. Previously, a pipeline was attached to a particular sales unit, and a sales unit could only have 1 pipeline. Now, however, pipelines are attached to User Roles, and User Roles can have access to multiple pipelines. You can also decide if certain roles will have access to documents within the stages of pipelines.
Then as regards features, you can decide which Pipeliner features this particular role can change or customize. You can also select which Pipeliner settings a particular role can change or customize.
No credit card required.

Recently I had been asked by my daughter's principal to stamp some of our Muslim bags for Teacher Appreciation Week. That came about from me making all the treats to send into my daughter's class at holidays. Halloween was treat bags, and Christmas I did treat bags too, but done up as Santa's. Then when we had the Whooo's Your Valentine promotion I made the treat tubes for her class, always making enough for her to give one to her teacher and principal. Score one for me.
Not only did I have 51 Muslim bags to stamp, but I also got a call from another local Elementary school, and the principal there also wanted me to make some gifts for the teachers and volunteers at her school. I sent up a current cattie for her to look at so she could see some of the artwork and some items that would make good gifts. She choose 4 projects and asked me to make samples for her. She choose 2 items, the first is to be ready for June 7th, but I finished them today. Yeah....and I also remembered to document a little as I went along.
The first gift she asked for was 20 pillow boxes, and she decided she didn't want them to be our new clear ones, I cut them from White Daisy Cardstock. Then using the current promotion, Dream Pop paper packet, I added a layer on top using just a few of the patterns. The bottom layer was cut on the circut which has a matching Frame from the Perfect Fit - Frames 2 I stamped it in Sunset. The next layer on the tag is a stamp from a coordinating Stamp that comes with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, so that was cut out using the cricut too. The middle layer is stamped in Lagoon, and the top layer in Hollyhock. There are pieces of 3D foam tape between each layer, as well as between the tag and the pillow box.
As I continue to learn with Close To My Heart, I will teach you too.....come learn with me!

Samorost is an adventure/puzzle game created by Jakub Dvorsky while he was a student at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, department of Graphic Design and Visual Communication.
Although short and simplistic in its gameplay, its surreal graphics and memorable score make the game stand out.
The player interacts with the world with simple mouse clicks directing a small, white-clad humanoid with a little cap and brown boots (called simply "gnome" by Dvorsky). The object of the game is to avert a collision of the gnome's home
planet and a large incoming spaceship. The name means "driftwood" in the Czech language.
The game has surrealistic organic scenarios that mix both natural and technological concepts (often featuring manipulated photographs of small objects made to look very large), creative character designs and unique musical atmosphere.
Music tracks are available through iTunes.
Dvorsky's explanation of the name: "'Samorost' in Czech means a root or piece of wood which resembles a creature; but it is also a term for a person who doesn't care about the rest of the world."

PHILADELPHIA - November 16, 2011 --The alleged mastermind behind the imprisonment of four mentally disabled adults found locked in the basement of a Philadelphia building has been found competent to proceed to a preliminary hearing.
The finding means Linda Ann Weston can appear before a judge for a preliminary hearing next month on charges including kidnapping, conspiracy and assault.
Weston is charged along with two others in the imprisonment of four people found locked in a filthy basement last month. Police say Weston kept the disabled victims captive so she could collect their Social Security benefits.
Authorities say they believe Weston had many more victims.
Weston's attorney said at Wednesday's hearing that the psychiatric exam was conducted on November 7.
Weston was also ordered to get psychiatric treatment while she remains in custody.

Shapelier curves that enhance your figure
The Brazilian Butt Augmentation is the process of adding fat to the buttocks that creates a natural looking, fuller and shapelier buttocks to compliment your figure. It isn't about creating a "Big Butt", but more so about creating a well-proportioned healthy figure, thus reshaping the buttock region. As women age they lose volume and tone, thus resulting in a flat-appearing, non-athletic, aged look.
Aguirre Specialty Care's medical director, Dr. Oscar A. Aguirre performs the Brazilian Butt Augmentation by first assessing the present shape of your buttocks, listening to your desired results and making recommendations accordingly.
Dr. Aguirre begins by removing excess fat from a donor area of your body, often the abdomen, lower back, hips or thighs. Next, Dr. Aguirre purifies the fat, and then inserts the selected donor fat cells into your buttocks. The final results are natural and attractive.
Dr. Aguirre explains, "We spend a good amount of our time discussing size, but the artistry is really in the contouring. More and more patients are requesting the Brazilian Butt Augmentation because of shifting beauty standards. With this technique we achieve fabulous results through a natural method."

Using HDR Toning in Photoshop to Create a Fantasy Forest Scene
In this tutorial I'm going to show you my process for utilizing the HDR Toning feature of Photoshop CS5 in combination with a few lighting effects to create a fantasy forest scene.
Here's a look at the before and after images.
Step 1
First off we need to find a good forest image to use as the base. After some searching I came across this image of a foggy forest with a tiny bit of light coming through the trees. That's perfect that we can see the direction the light is coming from. It will help when placing the lighting effects later in the tutorial.
Open the forest image in Photoshop and load the HDR Toning dialog (Image | Adjust | HDR Toning).
Below is the image after applying the following settings.
This warmer tone, applied by the HDR Toning, will be the color treatment will us for the rest of the comp.
Step 2
Now lets apply some lighting as it peaks through the branches of the trees. I used a few brushes from the Ultimate Lighting Effects brush set here at WeGraphics. I chose a light yellow and applied the brushes to a new layer with a blending mode set to Overlay.
Step 3
To enhance the lighting a bit more we need to light the ground a bit. To do this use a large round soft white brush and apply the brush to the ground with a single click.
Now transform (Cmd+T) the soft white circle and flatten it vertically.
Now set the layer's blend mode to Overlay, and repeat the step a few more times until the forest floor is well lit.
Step 4
Now lets add some rays of sunlight breaking through the leaves of the trees. To do this choose a small soft white brush, and while holding the shift key on your keyboard draw a straight line across the document on a new layer.
Now transform (Cmd+T) and rotate the line so that it appears diagonal from the top left corner.
Now set the layers blending mode to Overlay and reduce the opacity to 50%. Then repeat the step with several more lines. You may want to reduce the line weight for some and also use a soft eraser on portions so that it looks like some of the rays are going behind the tree trunks.
Step 5
Now I want to add a few lens flares at the top where the light is coming through the trees. I want these to be subtle and further enhance the lighting. I used the Bokeh Effect Brush Set here at WeGraphics to achieve the effect.
Step 6
For the final step I want to add 3 adjustment layers to help blend the effects. First up, lets add Black and White adjustment layer to reduce some of the saturation on the forest floor. Use a large soft brush to color the center portion of the layers mask to reveal the colors below the adjustment layer.
Now lets add a Gradient Fill adjustment layer to darken the edges. Use the following settings.
Now apply a gradient overlay layer style to the adjustment layer with the following settings.
For the last adjustment layer add a solid blue color fill (#2a3d83) and set the blend mode to Overlay and opacity to 50%. I added these to cool some of the warm tones in the image.

LONDON -- Unlike Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt, his name does not resonate globally and rarely do we hear athletic achievements described as Uchimuran. But one of the great athletes of his generation performs today at the North Greenwich Arena and if you find the time to tune in, you are likely to witness something extraordinary.
Men's gymnastics world champion Kohei Uchimura is the heavy favorite to win the men's gymnastics individual all-around (11:30 a.m.). Since winning silver in the men's all-around event in Beijing, Japan's Uchimura has won three consecutive world titles in this event, the only gymnast (male or female) to ever do so. "If, as expected, Uchimura takes home the Olympic gold in the men's all-around,"
• After a thrilling night in the pool for Michael Phelps, the action turns to the men's 200 breast stroke final (2:30 p.m.) where Japan's Kosuke Kitajima aims to become the first man ever to win this event in three consecutive Olympics.

U.S. swimmer Kathleen Hersey and Chinese world champion Jiao Liuyang are the favorites for the women's 200 butterfly (3:12 p.m.). Defending Olympic champion Liu Zige and U.S. swimmer Camille Adams also qualified for the final.
Australian world champion James Magnussen is the favorite in the men's 100 freestyle (3:20 p.m.) and he cruised to victory in his semifinal heat Tuesday night. Brazil's Cesar Cielo, the world record holder, France's Yannick Agnel and American Nathan Adrian are serious contenders for the medal stand.
