What are Earth Rugs™?
Earth Rugs™ are made from 100% natural jute fiber. Jute fiber is harvested from the bamboo-like Jute plant. Earth Rugs™ are products of the weavers art practiced for centuries by the native craftspeople of Bangladesh and India. Our rich colors and authentic designs are rooted in American tradition. Jute Rugs date back to the very beginning of rug weaving. Jute Rugs were used extensively in the 17th through the 19th centuries throughout the old British Empire. Earth Rugs™ are eco-friendly and jute is biodegradable!
What is Jute?
Jute is a primary resource fiber, produced directly from the earth and is a sustainable resource! Jute is a reed, like bamboo, that grows best in fertile delta soil. The Jute plant is harvested then split open to expose the inner fibers. The inner fibers of the Jute stalk are very soft and after retting, cleaning and combing they are spun into yarn. Jute is biodegradable.
How durable are Earth Rugs™?
Jute is one of the strongest fibers known to man! It was used on seagoing ships before the invention of steel cables. Woven into rugs, jute fibers provide lasting beauty and strength. They withstand commercial use and can last a lifetime in the home.
What if they get wet?
Jute has natural water repellent characteristics. Remember, it is a reed that naturally grows in water. Water cannot damage a rug woven from jute fiber.
How are Earth Rugs™ cleaned?
Just like other fine rugs, they can be cleaned with mild soap and water, a mild carpet shampoo or commercially dry-cleaned. Cleaning enhances the beauty of these rugs. Vacuum normally. Do not machine wash.
Are Earth Rugs™ fire-safe?
Yes! Earth Rugs™ meet the Consumer Products Safety Commission Standard FF-2-70 for flammability. What this really means is Earth Rugs™ will not ignite. Earth Rugs™ are absolutely perfect near the fireplace or beneath the Christmas Tree!
Are Earth Rugs™ safer than other braided rugs?
Yes, because Earth Rugs™ are 100% natural. Natural jute fiber is safer to use in any home with children or pets than synthetic rugs made with man made fibers. Other natural fiber braided rugs like wool are often treated with chemicals for moth proofing. Jute is naturally moth proof!
How are Earth Rugs™ dyed?
They are yarn dyed with the highest quality chemical dyes available. Throughout history jute fiber has been treasured for its capacity to take and hold beautiful colors. Brilliantly dyed jute fibers have been found in Neolithic remains dating back thousands of years. The natural sheen of jute fiber retains the look of fine silk.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Johnson Outdoors (NASDAQ:JOUT) were getting left out in the cold today, falling as much as 16% after reporting fourth-quarter earnings this morning.
So what: The maker of outdoor-recreation products fell short of expectations, posting a per-share loss of $0.35 against estimates of just a $0.09 loss, and down from a $0.32 per-share loss the year before. Sales increased 3.4% to $426.5 million, mostly because of its recent acquisition of JetBoil, the world leader in personal outdoor cooking systems. The summer quarter is traditionally a weak one for Johnson, which partly explains the loss, though CEO Helen Johnson-Leipold said the company "made progress toward our long-term goal of sustained profitable growth."
Now what: Considering the fourth quarter is a historically weak one for Johnson, I wouldn't be too worried about the quarterly loss. Full-year EPS nearly doubled from the year before to $1.95, and beat the estimate of the one analyst covering the stock at $1.89. After a sharp sell-off at market open, shares recovered to trade just 6% down, which seems more appropriate. I wouldn't expect any fireworks from Johnson at this point, but the stock should be more stable going forward than today's news indicates.

NORWICH Local emergency management officials are quickly pulling together a case for convincing federal emergency management teams of the need for individual assistance for damages related to Nov. 16ths flash flooding.
Chenango was one of eight counties that were declared eligible for aid last week. The region had still been cleaning up from the flood in June, for which it also became eligible for federal disaster assistance.
But unlike before, federal aid did not come in a second time for individual losses. Chenango County Board of Supervisors Chairman Richard E. Decker said he received a call from Sen. Charles Schumers office almost immediately after the announcement Dec. 12, saying he had requested that FEMA revisit the area and declare aid for individuals and small businesses.

Antimatter Matters
Marvel at our extraordinary universe and the music of Bach with our new Sunday morning series for inquiring and curious minds, with divine music, lively conversation and stimulating science.
Bach's music was all about symmetries, creating them in music like no composer had ever done before. Professor Tara Shears also works in symmetries. A world expert in antimatter, she'll explain how these elusive particles are about symmetries that are almost, but not quite perfect. If we could understand more about them, we could understand more about how the universe evolved.
The musicians get into the festive spirit, meanwhile, the strident horns of BWV40 – a cantata Bach wrote to be performed in the Christmas period.
Our very own Sunday service is a place to bond with music lovers and revel in the wonders of science. There is no better way to start a Sunday morning.
In partnership with the Institute of Physics.
At this event we'll be performing Bach's cantata Darzu ist erschienen (For this the Son of God appeared).

Let me start off by saying that I do not believe in using the word "if", for the most part, it's usually "when" for I have found anything that I put my mind to usually happens, yes even winning money!
When I win the PowerBall …
- No one but my closest friends and family will know.
- I will pay it forward to those who gave to the kids and me without expecting anything in return.
- Charity work will begin in the form of helping children and the homeless.
- My children will gain a savings or trust fund set aside for their 18th birthday to use towards college or whatever path they choose to go on in their adult life.
- I will own a house and save the money that would go towards the mortgage each month for family fun time as well as donating to causes close to my heart.
- I will help my home town in ways to assist in getting children off of the streets and having "safe" fun.
When you win the PowerBall what will you do?

By: Dawn Prince-Hughes(Author)
240 pages, no illustrations
In this elegant and thought-provoking memoir, Dawn Prince-Hughes traces her personal growth from undiagnosed autism to the moment, as a young woman, when she entered the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and became immediately fascinated with the gorillas. By observing them and, later, working with them, Prince-Hughes was finally able to emerge from her solitude and connect to living beings in a way she had never previously experienced.
More than a story of autism, Songs of the Gorilla Nation is a poignant, beautifully written exploration of the rich landscape of human emotion and the ways we learn to love.
"Lyrical, redemptive [...] Songs of the Gorilla Nation is as much a rhapsody to gorillas as it is an anatomy of autism."
- The New York Times Book Review
"A primer on self-preservation and love."
- O Magazine
"Gorilla Nation proves Prince-Hughes is a great writer-and an inspiration to anyone searching for a voice."
- Seattle Magazine
"[An] affecting, thoughtful memoir [...] both delightfully quixotic and terribly sad. Although Prince-Hughes struggles with verbal and physical interactions, in print she finds touching eloquence and clarity."
- Publishers Weekly

Removing grease stains from washable fabrics requires pre-treatment with an agent to break up the grease, followed with a washing in the hottest cycle possible, according to DoItYourself.com. Grease-stained fabrics labeled "dry clean only" must be taken to a dry cleaner.
The care instructions listed on the garment label usually indicates the preferred washing temperature; hot cycles may damage or shrink some premium fabrics. Customers taking clothing to a dry cleaner are advised to explain the nature of the stain for the best treatment. If the fabric is washable, the stain may be treated with dishwashing liquid, a paste of baking soda and water or a clothing stain remover designed specifically for removing tough grime and allowed to rest overnight. Machine grease and oil may be treated with Pine Sol, Formula 409 WD-40 or a pine tar-based soap, advise DoItYourself.com household cleaning experts. Such cleaning agents should be tested on an inconspicuous spot or similar fabric to ensure no damage or discoloration occurs
Once the pretreatment has set, the fabric may be scrubbed with a soft-bristled brush; the fabric may then be washed in the hottest water recommended on the care instructions. After washing, the fabric must be examined and the grease stain gone before the garment is dried, as dry heat sets stains, making them more difficult or impossible to remove, warns HowToCleanStuff.net. When stains are still visible, the pre-treatment and washing steps should be repeated.

A lot happened at PATS last weekend, this is just my first post on some of what took place.
On the evening before PATS began I got to speak to Dave Doody who works on the Cassini mission. He wasn't there to speak about Cassini, but rather Planet Trek. Planet Trek is to be a scale model solar system for the City of Pasadena. It is am ambitious plan, and they are still needing money to make it happen (anyone?), but it looks to be a great project where everything will be set to the same scale. That is very important because it is the only way for people to use to model to learn how vast the solar system is (of course it is tiny when compared to everything else!).
After learning about Planet Trek I went over to the gallery which was displaying photos from The World at Night project. If you haven't been to their website, block out a few hours of time and prepare to be amazed. Some of the work featured was captured by Wally Pacholka. That's Wally below. He was one of the speakers at PATS and from his booth you could buy reproductions of his amazing photographs.
The keynote speaker at PATS last weekend was former Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart. That's Rusty (in the yellow) when he stopped by our Palomar booth.
Rusty wasn't at PATS to retell the story of his spaceflight. He's got more exciting things to talk about. His talk was entitled: Prevent Impacts? Yes we can. He is very much aware of the damage that an asteroid impact could inflict on civilization and as such he is involved in the B612 Foundation which wants to demonstrate our ability to alter, in a controlled fashion, the orbit of a near-Earth asteroid.
It is an ambitious, but perhaps someday, necessary program. Be sure to follow the link to the B612 Foundation to learn more about it.

Tobacco Research Network (FORTE)
Welcome to FAS Tobacco Research Network! This initiative aims to strengthen collaboration across Sweden within tobacco research; to enable researchers identify existing projects and to support the production of new high quality tobacco research.
The website has two main areas:
- a public space with information about the network and its activities including a databank on Swedish tobacco researchers – young and senior scientists – to better identify research partners for applications, research and publications.
- member section sporting collaboration among the member researchers across specialities and competences. Members can login to the Nätverk för Tobaksforskare Forum in the menu on the right.
If you wish to receive news about the network in your mailbox, sign up for the online newsletter on also in the menu on the right side of the screen.
Why FAS Tobacco Research Network?
Even though Sweden has the lowest rates of daily smoking in Europe; 12 and 13% in men and women, respectively (WHO report on the global tobacco epidemic, 2011) the consequences on health and society are still of huge concern. Interestingly, the prevalence of current smokers is not that outstanding in Sweden with 24% compared to 26% in Denmark and Finland, and 30% in Norway. In addition Sweden has the highest rate of current snus users; 26 and 7 % (WHO report on the global tobacco epidemic, 2011).
The field of tobacco research has many challenges that must be met to improve the tobacco research on short and longer term. For many tobacco researchers this area is not their primary research field, and special initiatives are required to develop and support future tobacco research to put Sweden back in a leading position. This is why the overall goal of the network is to support the establishment of more high-quality Swedish tobacco research. Specifically:
- To identify ongoing efforts and promising upcoming research fields that would benefit from collaboration among different researchers and groups
- To inspire to new comprehensive research initiatives lead by Sweden as well as issuing recommendations on their priority and methodological challenges
- To exchange research knowledge and experience, including sharing of databases and pooled analyses of existing ones.
- To develop an online platform for collaboration in practice – across specialities and competences – including a databank on Swedish tobacco researchers - young and senior scientists – to better identify research partners for applications, research and publications
Members of the network are encouraged to explore the member forum to share experience and knowledge - and get to know each other.
The meeting report from the initial meeting is found in the menu on the right or via this link.

Lakshmi Kant Jha
This article may be in need of reorganization to comply with Wikipedia's layout guidelines. (August 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Lakshmi Kant Jha, MBE (22 November 1913 – 16 January 1988), born in Darbhanga district, Bihar,[1] or L. K. Jha as he was called, was the eighth Governor of the Reserve Bank of India from 1 July 1967 to 3 May 1970.[2] A member of the 1936 batch of the Indian Civil Service,he was educated at BHU, Varanasi, Trinity College, Cambridge University, and London School of Economics,U.K . He studied economics at Cambridge when Keynes was teaching there. Jha was taught by another eminent teacher Harold Laski at the LSE. Jha rose to be a Deputy Secretary in the Department of Supply, during British rule and was appointed an MBE for his service in the 1946 New Year Honours.[3] After Independence he had served as secretary in the Ministries of Industries, Commerce and Finance and Secretary to the Prime Minister of India, Lal Bahadur Shastri(1964–66) and Indira Gandhi(1966-67) prior to his appointment as Governor of RBI.[4]
During his tenure the Indian Rupee notes of denominations of 2, 5, 10, and 100, commemorating the birth centenary of Mahatma Gandhi were released on 2 October 1969, these notes bear his signature, both in English and Hindi.The signature in Hindi, the official language of the Government of India, appeared on the currency notes for the first time during his stewardship of the RBI. A subsequent re-issue on this series notes bears the signature of B. N. Adarkar.[5] His tenure also saw nationalization of 14 major commercial banks, introduction of social controls over commercial banks, establishment of National Credit Council, and the introduction of Lead Bank Scheme to facilitate credit delivery.[6] Amongst other developments, gold controls were brought on a statutory basis; Deposit Insurance was in principle extended to Cooperative banks; and the setting up of the Agricultural Credit Board was undertaken.[7]
He served as India's ambassador to the United States during the crucial period 1970-73 when India fought a war with Pakistan and liberated Bangladesh. Kissinger has acknowledged his persuasive diplomatic skills in the book White House Years. Jha authored a few books including Mr. Red Tape and Economic Strategy for the 80s: Priorities for the Seventh Plan.[8] He was governor of Jammu and Kashmir state from 3 July 1973 to 22 February 1981.His role as an impartial Head of State is still remembered with affection and respect in J&K. He was a member of the Brandt Commission during the 1980s on the North -South economic issues . He was chairman of the Economic Administration Reforms Commission of the Govt. of India from 1981-88.He also served as the adviser on economic matters to the P.M. Indira Gandhi and later to the P.M. Rajiv Gandhi. At the time of his death, Jha was a member of the Rajya Sabha. The RBI instituted the L.K. Jha Memorial Lectures in commemoration of his memory.[1]

Made from Walnut and Oak. Original Design by Paula
Playing on the computer one day and this is what I came up with! I love this clock more than anything I've ever made :) I had to use the table saw again for it. This one came out better than the Mini Grandfather clock. The cuts were more even and didn't have to sand as much. Has a mini pendulum and 3 1/2" insert. I wanted to put a chime in it, but I made it too short for the pendulum :) Took it to my county fair and got 1st place!

OUT OF AFGHANISTAN: Getting into Afghanistan more than two months ago was a challenge for the Monitor's Scott Peterson. Getting out was almost as difficult. Winter snows and bandits have shut down most roads. The UN flights between Kabul and Islamabad, Pakistan, are selling for $2,500 per seat - one way.
Scott first tried to hitch a ride on a helicopter going to Tajikistan. But after a bumpy four-hour ride from Kabul to the helipad, he found that the flight had been canceled by bad weather. After overnighting near the pad, he returned to Kabul.
The next day, he heard that Russia's Ministry of Emergency Situations had moved a hospital to Kabul. Scott tracked down the Russian head of the operation late at night, and received his approval to fly to Moscow. The next day, Scott and several other journalists joined the Russian convoy. But at the gate of the Bagram airport, Afghan guards stopped the journalists. After a hope-crushing two-hour delay, Scott flagged down a passing Afghan rebel general he'd met while covering the Northern Alliance front lines. The general let them onto the airbase. But upon arrival in Moscow, Scott faced one final hurdle to getting a ride home. "After two months, I'd forgotten my own phone number!"
GRINNING LIKE THE OLD FOX: During last year's campaign, Gretchen Peters says, Mexican President Vicente Fox was known for being garrulous and joking with the press. But during an interview last week with several foreign correspondents (this page), Gretchen says that "he rarely even looked up, and was kind of snappy on occasion."
"The only time he even broke a smile was when I asked him how his wife reacted to People Magazine naming him the sexiest world leader. For a moment, he returned to the old Vicente, full of machismo. He laughed and said, 'She said nothing, fortunately.' When I asked for his reaction, Fox replied, 'I agreed completely.' "
Let us hear from you.

Reforms to commercial and academic research systems still needed despite reaching spending milestone, say scientists.
By pouring cash into science and technology faster than its economy has expanded, China has for the first time overtaken Europe on a key measure of innovation: the share of its economy devoted to research and development (R&D).
In 2012, China invested 1.98% of its gross domestic product (GDP) into R&D — just edging out the 28 member states of the European Union (EU), which together managed 1.96%, according to the latest estimates of research intensity, to be released this month by the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
If the human brain is considered a computer, what does that mean for science and our lives? Could we repair damaged areas, replace damaged parts, or even upgrade our own minds? It might sound like little more than the stuff of science fiction, but with current advances in brain-machine interfaces, science fiction is fast becoming science fact.
Jessica Feldman is a neuroscientist and PHD student at Brown University who is working with, among other projects, the BrainGate Group. BrainGate is a team of neurologists, neuroscientists, and other researchers all working towards a single goal: developing technologies that will restore the communication, mobility, and independence of people with neurological disease, injury, or limb loss.
The common term for this type of emerging technology is "brain-computer interfaces" (BCI), and it has the potential to change how we all interact with technology and the world around us at the most basic levels. Research into BCI began in the 1970s at UCLA under a grant from the National Science Foundation, and later DARPA. While research was initially limited to animals, the first human neuroprosthetic devices were implanted in the mid 1990s.
The human hand is a wonder of strength, sensitivity and discrimination — not only because of those four fingers and the opposable thumb, but also because of the human brain that controls it. No wonder, then, that for those who design hand prostheses, re-creating the natural dexterity of the brain-powered hand is a daunting challenge.
But a new study demonstrates that, with the aid of some artificial sensors and electrodes sunk into a user's arm, a prosthetic hand can be made to detect the need for a firm grasp or a light touch, to make fine distinctions between an object's texture, weight and size, and to respond accordingly with no detectable delay.
On the grand scale of things, we know so very little about the brain. Our thick-headedness isn't quite cosmological in scale — we really do know almost nothing about the universe beyond Earth — but, when it comes down to it, the brain is virtually a black box. We know that stimuli goes in, usually through one of our senses, and motor neurons come out, but that's about it. One thing you can do with a black box, however, is derive some semblance of a working model through brute force testing.
Take prosthetic arms, for example: We don't have a clue about the calculations that occur in the brain to trigger arm muscle motor neurons, but that doesn't stop us from slapping some electrodes onto a subject's bicep muscles and measuring the electric pulses that occur when you tell him to "think about moving your arm." By the same logic, a brain-computer interface can measure what our general cranial activity looks like when we're thinking something and react accordingly, but it can only do this through training; it can't actually understand our thoughts. Taking this one step further, though, Sheila Nirenberg of Cornell University has been trying to work out how the retina in your eye communicates with your brain — and judging by a recent talk at TEDMED (embedded below), it seems like she's actually cracked it.
Technology has had a dramatic impact in healthcare. With the advancements of smartphones and tablets, and the number of medical devices, apps and peripherals being devised for them continues to grow everyday.
Recently, a Stanford engineer, Ada Poon, lead a project which has created tiny robotic medical devices that are powered by wireless technology.
According to Stanford University, the implantable machines are small enough to easily move through veins. These injectable nanobots can carry out medical tasks, gather diagnostics and even deliver drugs into the bloodstream.
A collaborative team of scientists and ethicists raised serious concerns about the trend of augmenting humans with technology.
The Royal Society, along with the Academy of Medical Sciences, British Academy, and Royal Academy of Engineering, recently concluded a workshop called Human Enhancement and the Future of Work in which they considered the growing impact and potential risks of augmentation technologies.
In their final report, the collaborative team of scientists and ethicists raised serious concerns about the burgeoning trend, and how humanity is moving from a model of therapy to one in which human capacities are greatly improved. The implications, they concluded, should be part of a much wider public discussion.
ANALYSIS: Immortality for Humans by 2045
Specifically, the report expressed concerns about drugs and digital technologies that will allow people to work harder, longer, and smarter. The resulting implications to work and human values, they argue, may not necessarily be a good thing. It's quite possible, they argue, that employers will start to demand (either implicitly or explicitly) that employees "augment" themselves with stimulants such as Aderall.
Similarly, the workshop considered the potential for other smart drugs that can enhance memory and attention, as well as physical and digital enhancements such as cybernetic implants and advanced machine-interfacing technologies.
How's this for a crazy story, one of the employees at Valve (the makers of Half-Life and the Steam online games store) has detailed how he tested virtual reality contact lenses. PCGamesN.com has the scoop:
"The technician made me sit in a chair that reminded me uncomfortably of a dentist's chair, and asked me if I had ever worn contact lenses; I hadn't. "It's OK," she said, "it'll just take a minute or two for your eyes to adjust." Indeed, after a few eye drops, my eyes adjusted to the transparent lenses and I almost forgot they were there."
Once Varoufakis had the lenses in he says that he was handed a small box with a silver dial. Turning this dial increased the visibility of the image that was to be projected onto the lenses.
The technician motioned and I started turning the dial. Suddenly, I saw him (an alien)! He was eight feet tall, and stood out behind the technician. The first thing I noticed was his expressive red eyes and the scales he was covered in. Faint steam emanated from his nostrils. With slow, steady steps, he moved to the right, revealing all of himself from behind the technician, who was obviously having fun with my expression. As prepared as I was, the sight of the alien took my breath away. Even though I knew it was just a projection from the contact lenses onto my optical nerve, logic was having trouble defeating my instincts, which screamed at me to run toward the nearest exit."
Research on a new kind of carbon nanotube artificial muscle for Air Force aerospace and space applications, conceived and invented, at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) is receiving primary financial support from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).
Dr. Ray Baughman, director of the NanoTech Institute at UTD, and his team of researchers have been working on artificial muscles for more than twenty years. The current phase of his pioneering work stems from an exploratory research program supported by AFOSR program manager, Dr. B-L "Les" Lee since 2006. The team invented many new types, including electrochemical carbon nanotube and conducting polymer muscles, as well fuel-powered muscles. The latter, powered chemically by alcohol or hydrogen, operate similarly to natural muscles. But they are limited in that they cannot function at extreme temperatures and have low efficiencies for energy conversion.
(Medical Xpress)—A team of researchers with the University of Texanderfful s has, for the first time, successfully grown a human lung in a lab. Project leads Dr. Joaquin Cortiella and Dr. Joan Nichols announced the landmark breakthrough to various members of the press this past week, describing the procedure and what was achieved.
Growing organs in the lab has become a reality in the past couple of years as scientists have learned more about stem cells and how they mature to become the cells that make up organs and other body parts. Windpipes, for example, have been successfully grown and implanted into human patients, and just last spring, a team of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston successfully implanted lab grown kidneys into rats. In this new effort, the researchers have been focusing on growing one of the most complicated organs in the human body—the lungs.
There is no denying it any longer
we are just entering a great time of innovative technological advancement
reply to post by SLAYER69
I think these advances are wonderful.
But. . . .
I worry about the potential abuses. . . .
The fundamental ideas of transhumanism were first mooted in 1923 by the British geneticist J.B.S. Haldane in his essay Daedalus: Science and the Future, which predicted that great benefits would come from applications of advanced sciences to human biology — and that every such advance would first appear to someone as blasphemy or perversion, "indecent and unnatural". In particular, he was interested in the development of the science of eugenics, ectogenesis (creating and sustaining life in an artificial environment) and the application of genetics to improve human characteristics, such as health and intelligence.
I would be all over that, the ability to download knowledge right to the brain.
They just need to pour all their money into one augment,
The ability to increase the human brain to process and remember knowledge, ie through traditional means or "uploading" it to the brain. Say - learning theoretical physics in an hour.

A few weeks back, Sony's own online store was offering insanely cheap preorders for upcoming PS3 exclusive Beyond Two Souls. It seemed to everyone like the deal was too good to be true. It was!
The Bigger Question is do you all think that should honor the error?
now let's defend this as something good right guys? because sony could never reverse anything without good intentions, in all seriousness this kinda sucks
That does suck. I know Sony is god right now but let's be serious here...
I think $5 is better than nothing, but I wouldn't call it "the right move" after all most other retailers honour their pricing screw-ups. Whatever the case I won't be kneeling at Sony's altar for this, or giving Kaz a hand-job.

When I started this blog, some months ago, my life was almost perfect. But I did not know that.
I had some problems, of course, like all of us, but nothing serious.
And still, I really struggled finding beauty in my days. That's why I opened the blog: to push myself to look at the bright side of life, instead of complaining and fix my attention on what can go better.
Then some things happened in the last month, and my life went upside down. Something unexpected hit me, and I was totally unprepared. After some days in which my pain and my anger really took over, I started to see the light again.
And that's when I start to think over some things:
- That our mind is so accustomed to all the joy and gifts that we have in our everyday's life, that can not see them. Untill something, usually something bad, opens up our eyes. And sometimes it is to late to appreciate what we had, because it is gone. It is completely non sense;
- That even in the worst moments, we need and we are entitled to find happiness in our days;
- That there is a big difference between having strong convictions and ideas in mind and practice them;
- That all the gifts and presents can't stand a smile from the ones I love;
My life is starting to return to "normal" slowly; lukely what had broken can and want to be fixed.
But I want, more than ever, keep on lerning with humbleness and with love

|Sunlight shows off the yummy purple with touches of blue in it!
|Check out that emerald green, heh here's a good picture of how my index finger bends down : )
|Here the emerald green is even deeper! Also because this polish required several coats when i put on the SV it shrunk the polish by the cuticles, i hate it when that happens!

Environment Group
Blaxhall Environment Group
During 2004 several volunteers got together and formed B.E.G. They have several projects under way:
In late 2003 Shell kindly donated some money to the group to enable sheep hurdles to be bought; forming a portable fence, they allow sheep to be kept in the churchyard and rotated as necessary (not literally - turntable on order).
100 metres of hedge were planted by the group last year with another 100m planned for this year. If you have a hedge row in need of replanting the group would be delighted to hear from you - contact Maggie Grenham on 688611. The hedge planting scheme is supported in part by SCDC, but the group are all volunteers.
Bird Boxes
Frank Pynn (sadly recently passed away) had been busy making bird boxes which have been going up around the village; if you are interested in buying one or donating suitable offcuts please contact Maggie. Blaxhall Environment Group now has a Co-op dividend number. So if you would like to support them in their work please give the number 266636 when you shop at the Co-op.

Review: 'The Best Man Holiday' Offers a Thoughtful Reunion, But is Emotionally Taxing
For those unfamiliar with the plot, The Best Man Holiday picks up after the events in the original where Harper's (Taye Diggs) first book caused all sorts of drama on the eve of his best friend's wedding. Fast forward a decade plus, and now the characters have all become their own success stories. Lance (Morris Chestnut) and Mia (Monica Calhoun), the couple who almost never were, have seemingly surpassed the original friction and created a wonderful life with a successful marriage, NFL career, and well-behaved children. Jordan (Nia Long), has moved on from her lusting of Harper, and found love in the arms of her new boyfriend named Brian (Eddie Cibrian), who is, well, melanin-deprived. Julian (Harold Perrineau) and Candace (Regina Hall), who met at Lance's bachelor party in the first film, are now happily married with kids. The loudmouths of the group, Shelby (Melissa De Sousa) and Quentin (Terrence Howard) have increased their magnitude for mania by continuing to create trouble for their friends during the Christmas Eve holidays. Lastly, Harper's wife, Robyn (Sanaa Lathan), is finally expecting their first child after years of going to the fertility bank.
All these characters and their successes mask an extra layer, which gets peeled back through Malcolm D. Lee's script. With nearly 15 years having elapsed since the original film, many of the highlights given to the audience as a reminder of what used to be, plays out cluttered and muted. The hijinks that led to creating a whimsical charm in the first movie, return in the sequel, such as the scene where the fly male cast performs an amusing rendition of New Edition's "Can You Stand The Rain". Those happy moments and reminiscent times do little to shadow the light mayhem that stems within the group. Eventually, the picture shies away from the Yuletide spirit to fully immerse itself in melodrama mode, finding everyone in the cast with a little bit of dirt on their shoulders.


text: On Friday, November 5, the US Court of Appeals decided in favor of Intel in the Intel-Intergraph antitrust case--an outcome that was largely overshadowed by Judge Penfield Jackson's findings against Microsoft that same day. Alabama-based Intergraph had filed an antitrust and patent infringement lawsuit against Intel, accusing Intel of an almost unending number of vicious skullduggeries. Over 1 1/2 years ago, an Alabama district court threw out the patent infringement lawsuit, ruling that Intel held the patents that the suit accused it of infringing, but the court found that Intergraph's antitrust accusations were valid. In the antitrust portion of the lawsuit, Intergraph accused Intel of excluding Intergraph from product development programs and refusing to give Intergraph access to vital product information. Most important, Intergraph claims that when it found bugs in Intel's LX and PIIX4 chips that rendered its computer boards inoperable, Intel refused to supply the technical information that would have enabled Intergraph to fix the boards. "Intel also," reads the lawsuit, "ceased to supply Intergraph with information on Intel's LX and BX chips and the Merced and Deschutes microprocessors, all of which was necessary for Intergraph's product development." Intel appealed the decision, and, after 11 months of consideration, the Court of Appeals knocked down the district court's decision, pronouncing that Intel is not a monopoly. The court presented its decision in two main arguments. First, the court argued that Intel was not in direct competition with Intergraph. Although Intel's decisions affected Intergraph, Intergraph is in a "downstream" marketplace, the court said. Second, the court ruled that although Intel's behavior was harshly competitive, its was not anticompetitive. The court argued that the antitrust laws permit harsh and even malicious behavior, so long as such behavior is not anticompetitive. Intel, the court said, was under no obligation to help Intergraph survive. The court also pointed out that Intergraph was asking Intel to provide it with privileged information. Intergraph had asked for access to patented and confidential information before the general marketplace had access, hoping to gain a competitive advantage. Patent laws, noted the court, don't force any company to license or divulge its patents to all who ask for it. To understand the court's decision, you can compare the case with the Caldera antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft, which has recently been allowed to go to trial. In that lawsuit, Caldera is accusing Microsoft of excluding it from Microsoft's public beta program, blacklisting Caldera from a program that Microsoft has made widely available to others. In the Intel-Intergraph case, Intel was simply refusing to grant Intergraph privileged status. The court practically accused Intergraph of using antitrust laws to shield itself from competition: "The purpose of the antitrust laws is to foster competition in the public interest, not to protect others from competition, in their private interest." The court's decision doesn't bode well for Intergraph's struggling PC business?a business that the company is now shopping around and that is having troubled times. Intergraph was counting on a legal victory to bolster its PC business's chances of survival.

A blog full of bits of historical information, comments & observations, photographs (old and new), oddball ramblings and other totally random stuff.

Great matches for the prompt photo, costumes and all. Australians also call them swimmers, bathers, togs or cossies, depending on which state of Australia they live in, and brief men's costumes are generally known as budgie smugglers.ReplyDeleteReplies
I guess they had to jump back in the water for a good scratch.ReplyDeleteReplies
Now there's a thought...I'm sure they did, and that water was some cold! (Boothbay has some of the coldest water in the State of Maine, I swear!)Delete
I wonder why they made bathing suits during those times of wool.ReplyDeleteReplies
It certainly seems like a colossal mistake, doesn't it?Delete
Beautiful and evocative of summertime with the water's light and the boy's movement.ReplyDeleteReplies
Sometimes these old photos capture things better than our newer digital ones, don't they?Delete
How wonderful to have such a collection of memorabilia to draw on. You are absolutely spot on with matches to the prompt photograph.ReplyDeleteReplies
Got lucky on this one, Sue! It is pretty close to the original...Delete
My mother talked about those old wool bathing suits she wore - even into her early 20s. Wool was used because it kept its shape when it got wet and didn't cling unseemly to the body like other fabrics of the time. But, she said, they did itch like crazy.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've seen some old women's suits, Gail -- and they were cotton, but there was enough material to make them weigh a ton when they were wet....Delete
I see you found a photo where that fella finally took a dive. Probably to ease the itching.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think of diving into that freezing water and just shake from head to foot. Last time I was in, I was 40, so that makes 30 years ago!Delete
They appear to be diving in right at the water's edge. Or is that a wall they're standing on? Great match for the theme.ReplyDeleteReplies
Not a wall, Lorraine -- it's actually a projection of granite that sticks out into the harbor...Maine is full of those, left behind by the glaciers thousands of years ago!Delete
That shot of almost hitting the water is quite fantastic. It's just a torso heading for the water.ReplyDeleteReplies
Pretty amazing for early 1900s cameras, isn't it? I've got an album full of these shots...Delete
I had one of those knit suits too. It itched and stretched so it took both hands to keep it up when you came out of the water. Budgie Smugglers Ha. The Aussies always come up with the best names.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm still giggling over the budgie smugglers, too, Helen! One of the funniest expressions I've heard...men in Speedos!Delete
I never understood why they had any wool in them but probably cotton was not really around yet. Because of the itch i really don't understand why people would want to wear clothes of them today.ReplyDelete

Olton has come a long way since burros, in fact, the city has produced a horse trainer with two horses that have raced in the Kentucky Derby.
The Nafzger family has been ranching and farming this area for nearly a century. Now, those skills are a winning combination for horse trainer Carl Nafzger, so much so they have landed him in the winner's circle at the Kentucky Derby not once, but twice.
In May of 2007, Street Sense wins the Kentucky Derby.
"You have one day in a horses life that you can win this race," Carl Nafzger said.
A journey started back in Olton at the Nafzger family farm.
"We used to have lots of corals back out that way. It is all torn down. We had a horse walker back behind the barn, "Carl's older brother Don Nafzger said .
Don still lives in Olton where he and his brothers Jay and Carl grew up working with horses and cattle. However, it would be Carl that would end up training two Kentucky Derby winners.
"It was in his blood; he just liked it. He like animals, the horses and the cattle, just everything," Don said.
Growing up, the boys spent many hours in the family's barn. It's now littered with tractors and horse stalls, and it is also full of memories. Some even say it provided Carl with the foundation he needed to end up in that winner's circle at the Kentucky Derby.
"We'd bring our horses in there and work on their teeth and worm them. That way they couldn't twist around on you," Carl said.
The Nafzger boys then started breaking and training local horses in this barn, but Don says it was hard to make money. So Carl moved east to Kentucky, and now years later, the horseracing world is taking note of this cowboy from Olton.
"Never thought about two Kentucky Derby's out of three starts. That's a pretty good record," Carl adds.
Nafzger has seen two wins at the Kentucky Derby. First was in 1990, with "Unbridled" and then more recently, with two-year-old Street Sense. That horse is only the second two-year-old in the race's history to win the Super Bowl of horse racing.

Water agencies and Native American tribes in southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southwest Utah rely on water from the Colorado River and its tributaries, and limited supplies of groundwater to sustain their populations. (See service area map to the right.)
The majority of water supplies in this area goes to municipal and industrial uses, with limited agricultural application. Most water use is concentrated in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, but other cities, including St. George, Utah; Laughlin, Nevada; and Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Bullhead City, Arizona, also draw from these limited supplies. With rapidly growing populations straining water resources in these areas, Reclamation's water conservation program focuses on supporting incentive and retrofit programs for local residents and businesses to encourage the most efficient water use.
In 2011, Reclamation awarded more than $346,000 in grants to support water conservation activities for several local communities in the tri-state area. These funds helped implement urban water conservation plans, demonstration garden and retrofit projects, turf conversion activities, and youth education.
Visit our Links page or our Region-wide water conservation page to discover other websites that can assist you in your conservation efforts.
For additional information about Reclamation's water conservation activities in southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southwest Utah, contact Program Coordinator Tina Mullis at email@example.com or at 702-293-8139.

1. Introduction
In this article, we will explore "Publishing the C-Sharp application" in the network path. The article shows the demonstration steps using Visual Studio 2005 IDE.
Publishing the application to a shared location benefits in such a way that the interested consumers go to that location and starts installing the published application from that network location. There is no need of cutting a CD for each client and shipping it to them.
In the above screen shot, you can see the application developers create an install-able setup and publish that in a shared location. This shared location can be:
- Web Location
- A Ftp Site
- Network share
Multiple clients who have access to the shared location takes the application from the shared location and installs that on their local machine. This happens for the first time. The next time onward publisher of the application publishes the application updates on the same location. When the client starts their application they get the notification about the available update on the published location.
Publishing the application in a shared location is useful and gives benefit for both publisher and clients subscribed to the published application. In the publisher point of view, they no need to cut CDs and ship to every client. In client point of view, they will automatically get the update to the application that they are using.
In this article, we are going to look,
- Publishing the application in Network shared path
- Providing the Update notification to the Client
- Pushing the updates forcibly to the Installed client location
I am not providing any sample application with this article. You can try this article with any simple c# application on your own.
2. Publishing a C# application
To start the publishing wizard, open the project in visual studio, then right-click on the project name is the solution explorer. From the displayed context menu, select the publish… Option as shown below:
Then from the displayed wizard, publish the application on a network share. Once the application is published on a network share, the shared location contains a file called publish.htm by default. Clients can access the file in the Internet explorer using the file protocol as specified below:
When a user accesses the application in Internet explorer the page looks like the below shown:
1: User navigating to publish location
2: After reviewing the content, they install the application on their local machine by clicking Install
In the video below, I explained the process of publishing the application on the network path, then installing the application by navigating to the published page on the network path.
Video 1: Explains how do you publish the application.
3. Publishing the Updates to the Application
Let us say 7 people installed the application from the network published location. Also, say the application is modified with lots of look and appearance changes and published in the same location.
In the above situation, the software update is placed on the published location. When those seven clients start their installed application next time, they get the notification that talks about getting the software update from the published location. This notification provides the end user a choice of updating the application to have the new version installed or skipping the update to use whatever version they have right now.
Click the updates button in the publish property page of the project settings. From the displayed dialog you can specify how you want to provide an update to the end user.
Providing the software updates to all the installed location via the published location is shown in the below video.
Video 2: Explains how user gets the Update from the Published location
Sometimes, we may need to push the important updates to the end locations not providing the end user the option of skipping this update. The Updates dialog has an option for that also. Use the third option shown in the below picture to push the major updates to installed subscribers.
Pushing the update to end-user is shown in the below video.
Video 3: Pushing the Major updates to end user machine.
No Sample application required for this article.
