The writing process
Step In Writing Process Before you begin writing anything, it is important to understand the writing process. Writing is more than just putting words on paper. It takes thought and planning to produce quality content, and having quality content is more than important…it's imperative! Never has the phrase, "Anything worth doing is worth doing right," more important than when preparing content for your site.
Before you begin writing ask yourself what are you going to write
When you prepare to write an article, series of articles, blog posts, or even a script for a video for your site, ask yourself what will the writing be about and in what way are you going to talk about the topic.
Think about the final use of the article and tailor the article to suit its purpose. Think about it: is it promotion, informative article with an action involved from the reader, or is it purely for education purposes. There are many different ways to writing and many approaches you can take.
What purpose do you serve writing.
Look at all the ways you can approach the article, and select the best approach for your purpose. After you know your topic, brainstorm for ideas. This is simply writing down ideas and thoughts about the subject. Jot down all of the ideas you can come up. They might seem silly at the time, but write them anyway.
Jot down everything you can think of. You may find it helpful to keep some means of writing ideas with you at all times. It can be a note pad and pen, or an electronic device. Whichever it is, you'll be able to write down the ideas as they come to you. You don't have to use them all. You can decide that later.
Just get your creative juices flowing and come up with anything relative to your topic. Think about who your audience will be. If you think about movies, they're rated for a reason. People don't begin a movie for a "G" rated audience in an "R" rated format. Having an understanding of your audience will allow you to set a suitable tone and create content the audience finds value in.
Will your readers be adult, children, or teenagers? Will they be male or female? Will they be educated or perhaps high school dropouts? Will there be a particular ethnic group more likely to read than others? All these things are important when you decide what you want to write and how you will go about writing it. You want to write to the audience in a way they can relate to what you've written and understand it.
Research the topic you want to write about in detail to provide information that is not common knowledge. You may know a lot about the topic, in fact, it's better to have a good knowledge of what you're writing about, because you'll find it easier to write. There are, however, many resources you can use to find relevant content about a subject that you might not know about.
You may find information about a topic you know well that you didn't know. You may want to pull information from several different sources for one article. Just remember, when using these resources, it is important to rewrite the information in your own way.
Do not copy information from other sites or you'll be guilty of copyright infringement. You should prepare an outline of your article, blog post, or ebook. Preparing an outline will help you to prepare quality content for your website. It keeps you focused and on track. You know that your content helps the websites web marketing, web ranking and content marketing efforts.
The outline will help you create a logical order and flow to what you write, and improve your chances of higher web rankings. Once the outline is complete, you're ready to begin writing. Follow the outline, and use the information you know or the information gathered from researching other resources to fill in the blanks.
If you remember the "fill in the blank" tests from school, you'll know that this is an important part of the writing process. If you don't put the right words in the right blanks, you fail the test. If you don't fill in the blank in the right way, your writing will fail. People will click on your site, begin reading, see it isn't quality content, and then click off. You've probably done that yourself many times. The internet makes it so easy it has become automatic to some people.
Click on – read junk – click off. It's as simple as that. Filling in the blanks properly, however, will cause people to click on to your site repeatedly. There are three major portions to any written material: Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. You should always start with a good introduction.
Then you prepare the body, which is the meat of the material. Last, but certainly not least, is the conclusion. In the introduction you should tell the audience what you are going to tell them and what they can expect to learn. The body of the article will include the details about the topic and mention different points that will connect to the reader. These details should give the reader what you told them they were going to get.
The conclusion is where you summarize and state any conclusions that the reader should have come to once they've read your material. The conclusion is the last impression you will make on the readers, so you always want to go out in style. Let them leave feeling taking the time to read your material has been worth their while. Write your first draft without being over-critical.
In your first draft, you're basically getting all your information down on paper in a fairly logical format. Then, you go back and revise the draft in a more critical manner.It often helps to read the article aloud. As you do, make mental notes to fully pronounce every word. This will help you find grammar errors and inconstancy in the article.
It will also help you keep a good, steady flow to your writing that isn't confusing. If you stumble over the words when you read it, so will your reader. Once you've completed reading the material and any errors have been corrected, you'll probably repeat the process again and again until the article is satisfactory to you.
You may discover you need to: – Rearrange paragraphs to make it flow better – Reword awkward sentences – Remove extra words, repetitive sentences, or even whole paragraphs You need to realize that no one is perfect. Learning to write articles, blogs, or ebooks takes time, creativity, patience, and practice.
You may feel you have something great and find out it wasn't so good after all. Don't be discouraged if you have to change your draft several times before you get it right. Just remember, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Once you have that article, blog, ebook, or video that you feel is "just right," it will be worth it. Not only will you feel great about yourself, you'll have quality content that is fit to reign.
You'll be surprised. Once you have been through the process of writing your rough draft and editing the drafts a few times, you'll get used to all of these things. It will become automatic, unconscious competence writing and you'll wonder why you ever thought it would be so difficult to start with.
If you follow the all of the above steps, before you know it you will be able to be a competent writer. Being a competent writer is the first step to creating that dynamic content you need for your website. Now, you know the writing process. It's time to take the information you know, follow the process, and begin creating content fit for a king.
We have 70 great tips to help you create that content you can be proud of. It will be the type of quality content that will keep your audience returning to your site for more writing information.

Valerie the Magnificent Ch. 03byval wrangler©
Over the next week or so Val showed more interest in making love, but went back to maintaining the veneer of being prim and proper. Meanwhile I was doing a lot of thinking.
The night I tied her to the bed gave me considerable insight into what was now making my pretty wife tick -- sexually speaking. There was this other person inside her, curious, very highly sexed and just a little bit dangerous. This was who had been released by my friend Robbie coming on to her. She'd been in the ascendancy over the several months until Val finally had a chance to consummate her lust for Robbie's big dick.
Immediately after, the "good" Val had taken control again and shut everything down. Since that time, I guess she'd been waging an inner battle between these two opposing forces. Taking away the good Val's control by tying her to the bed had allowed my wife the opportunity to let her bad "bad" side peek out a bit and the results had been amazing. Now that I knew the key to the situation, I could help massage things in the direction I felt that both of us wanted to go. I began to think of it as The Game: facilitating Val being bad.
I knew my wife was curious about what I might do next, but I let that curiosity build for nearly ten days. During that time, I kept close watch on Val's toys to see if she'd started using them again. Whether she was being pretty cagey or had a stash I didn't know about, they didn't seem to have been touched. I did find our lubricant bottle in what I thought was a different place one day, so I noted things more carefully, but still couldn't spot anything I could be certain about.
On a Thursday Val was working late, and I was feeling a little frisky so I went into the cabinet below the TV where we keep our movies. Behind the first row is a small pile of porn flicks we'd gotten over the past few months (and which we hadn't watched together since Robbie). A little chance to unwind would be nice. When I pulled them out to look through them, lo and behold, there was the instructional video that came with the Sybian.
Now one thing my wife isn't is dumb. If she'd wanted to watch the video but keep it secret, she would have put it back in the carton with the Sybian. If it had been left here, it was with the expressed purpose that I'd eventually find it.
I went down to the basement and pulled the carton out. When putting it away I'd sealed it with shipping tape and it hadn't been tampered with. Now I understood. Val must have taken the tape out on the night of her birthday and hadn't been able to get it back in again because of the tape. Had she watched it, though? Undoubtedly, or it wouldn't have been where it was. The saucy wench was challenging me in her own discreet way. "I'm being bad. What are you going to do about it?"
The video gave me the perfect idea for her punishment. Something we could both get off on...
The following Saturday, Val was working at her store job all day. I went to the local adult toy store and bought some proper restraints. Using my ties was well and good, but something comfortable but strong would make it more enjoyable -- for both of us. I finally settled on four Velcro cuffs attached to long nylon straps. The cuffs had this furry fabric that felt quite nice, and they were big enough to put around Val's upper arms or calves if I wanted to. You could get them on and off quickly and easily, as well as tighten them pretty securely. This was important, remembering how Val had seemed to enjoy struggling against her bonds. It was all part of The Game.
On the way home, I stopped at a lumber yard and got a sheet of 1/2 inch plywood and a few other items I'd need and then spent the day getting everything together. By mid-afternoon, I was ready for the next step in our little erotic dance.
Val, predictably, came home that evening rather tired. I was ready with a glass of wine (or 2) and a light dinner, something necessary for what I had planned.
While we ate, I brought up the subject we'd both danced around for the past 12 days.
"I was looking around on Thursday evening for something to watch, and you'll never guess what I found in our cabinet."
Val immediately looked uneasy, but there was also something else there. Excitement? "Movies?" she countered flippantly.
"Well, yes. I did find a movie, but not what I was expecting. It was something that came with your birthday present. When did you take it out of the carton?"
She dropped her eyes. "While you were putting dinner on the table that night. I was pretty angry with you, but I was also curious, so I started looking in the box. Then you came in unexpectedly and I didn't have time to get that video cassette back in, so I hid it under a pillow."
"Why did you do that?"
Val looked up somewhat defiantly. "Because I didn't want you to know I had any interest in that machine. I was afraid..."
"Of what?"
"That you'd make my do something I wouldn't want to do."
I smiled at her. "You mean something bad?"
She nodded. "Yes."
"And tell me, have you watched the video?"
Val looked down into her lap again and answered by nodding.
"And did it turn you on?"
Again a nod.
"Did you have to play with yourself, make yourself cum?"
"Yes, she answered in a small voice, "twice."
"That's being very bad, you know. It means you're going to have to be punished."
Her eyes got big. "What are you going to do?"
"If you watched the video, then you know how the Sybian works. Have you thought of trying it out yourself?"
"You'd make me do that?"
"If I decide that's what your punishment should be, yes. Tell me, do you think you should be punished?"
My wife again looked down and several seconds later nodded her head again.
I drained my wine glass and got up. "I want you to meet me downstairs in five minutes. I want your hair up and I want you naked." With that, I turned on my heel and headed for the basement.
Our house has a finished basement, but we don't use it much. It was primarily a place for our two kids to hang out with their friends. Val and I had been wondering what we should do with it now that they'd moved out. I'd spent part of my afternoon getting it ready for our little drama. Some new lights had been put up and shone down on the middle of the floor. There, bolted down to the plywood I'd bought, was the Sybian. Since it was a bit noisy, I'd found an old piece of foam to put between it and the board and I'd bought a scrap of thick carpet to go over the plywood. When you turned the machine on now, it was fairly quiet and the carpet would also make it easier on Val's knees.
Also on the board, I'd mounted some eyebolts on either side of the Sybian. Val stopped midway down the stairs when she saw what was waiting for her. There was no doubt as it sat there under the lights, what the star of tonight's show would be. I'd mounted the largest dildo on the rotating post and it was pretty darned impressive. I thnk both our hearts were beating a mile a minute.
"You want to use that on me?"
"Yes. You told me yourself not that long ago that when you've been bad, you expect to be punished. Since you've been so curious about your birthday present and you know what an evil thing it is, I think you need to be punished -- by being forced to use it."
I thought for a moment that Val was going to bolt, but then I caught that evil little glint in her eye, just something fleeting, but I knew she was going to play.
"Please don't make me do this!" she pleaded. "I'll...I'll let you tie me to the bed again."
She didn't fool me for a minute. I don't think she'd spotted the eye bolts yet, or if she had, she didn't know what they would be used for, but Val was clearly transmitting to me that she wanted to be restrained.
"No, tonight it's the Sybian." From the couch in the corner, I picked up the new restraints and a bottle of lubricant. "Come over here."
Val quietly did as I ordered. She silently watched me a put a generous amount of lubricant on the dildo and some on the ridged pad that would rest against the top of her slit when she was mounted on the Sybian.
"Now sit on it."
Val actually gulped but did as I asked. Her eyes again got big as she carefully sank down on the dildo.
Kneeling, she looked up at me. "Now what?"
"Hold out your wrists."
I put a restraint on each wrist, tightened them up pretty snuggly and then tied the ends to the two bolts which were farthest away from the Sybian. Val's arms were extended straight out and at about a 45 degree angle down.
Next I put a restraint around each of her thighs and tied those lines around the inner pair of eye bolts, slightly behind the machine and out about half the distance to the edge of the plywood. What it forced Val to do was sit more snuggly against the machine.
Restrained like this, she couldn't be able to get off the Sybian until I unfastened her.
While I worked, I saw all the signs of my wife's growing arousal. I'd guessed right. This was really turning her on.
"What are the bright lights for? she asked.
I pulled are video camera from the corner and set it up at about the height of Val's head right in front of her. "You're going to make a video tonight. It's going to be called 'Val's Punishment'. You're the star."
She looked a bit concerned. "But Mike, honey, somebody could see it. Do you think you should risk that?"
"Oh yes. Next time I go looking for a nice video to watch, I'll watch you having orgasm after orgasm. Maybe sometimes I'll make you watch it so you'll remember what happens to you when you're bad. Maybe I'll let some of my friends watch it."
"Mike, don't do this to me. I promise I won't be bad anymore. At least turn the video off. Please!"
I'll give her this, Val was pretty convincing.
Picking up the Sybian's controller I went back behind the camera, turned it on and then turned on the vibrator component of the Sybian, using it's lowest setting.
The sensation must have surprised Val because she made a move to get up, and of course she couldn't. She couldn't even push herself off the machine very much because of the restraints on her thighs. The muscles in her ass flexed in the most delicious manner.
Sitting down on the sofa, I prepared to enjoy the show.
I gradually turned the vibrations up. Val sat ramrod straight, but it wasn't hard to see that the stimulation was beginning tohave the desired effect on her. Her ass began flexing more and I could detect a small rocking motion as she began to ride the pleasuring machine. Her breathing was also becoming faster and there was a definite flush to her neck and chest.
For a moment I turned the vibrations up much higher. A deep moan came out of Val and her eyes closed. She sagged down into the saddle, forcing stronger contact with her clit against the knobbed pad. I immediately turned the vibration control way down. She sighed and looked over at me but didn't say anything.
That's when I turned on the rotation.
Val immediately gasped and writhed as the big dildo rotated against her walls. The fat mushroom head, being farthest from the center of the rotation, moved the most.
"Oh my God! That feels...fucking...amazing," Val moaned.
"You used a bad word," I teased. Just for that, I'm going to have to turn it up a bit."
Val bucked and pulled on the straps holding her wrists. Her lower body began moving as if she actually were fucking somebody. Under the heat of the lights and also her rising passion, she was now sweating. I turned up the rotation and vibration up to the halfway point.
"Ohhhhh! That's almost too much, Mike. You're going to...make me cum! Oh shit, oh shit!"
Val was beside herself now and getting close to what looked to be a massive climax. She road the Sybian like a bucking bronco, thrusting against it with abandon and grunting in time with the rotation of the dildo.
I turned up both controls a bit more.
My wife screamed as the orgasm roared through her body, swaying as the dildo pushed against the walls of her pussy, the muscles in her body taut from the strength of her spasms.
As she started to come down the other side, I turned the controls back down and started taking my clothes off. Time for me to have some fun.
I went over and stood in front of her, my rock-hard erection standing out proudly. My wife took one look at it and opened up her mouth. I slid it in and could feel her tongue swirling around underneath the tip. It felt like heaven.
Turning the controls up again, Val moaned deep in her throat and her eyes opened wide. I stood looking down at her and played with the controls, now turning off the vibration, varying the rotation, mixing things up. She was having trouble concentrating on my cock.
With both controls halfway up again, she began to rock on the Sybian, fucking back at it and I started moving my cock in and out of her mouth. She leaned forward as far as she could and without much effort, I began to slide the whole length into her mouth and down her throat. Faster and faster I went, trying to match the crescendo of her approaching orgasm.
I climaxed just before she did, causing her to gag a bit and what felt like a gallon of cum began overflowing her mouth. I stepped back from her with weak knees. Once free of my cock, Val rode the crest of her orgasm, making wordless sounds of passion as the orgasm wracked her body.
Going over to the sofa, I grabbed my t-shirt and cleaned up the mess on her chin, throat and chest. Val thought I was going to release her, but I chucked the t-shirt on the sofa and headed for the stairs.
"Mike! Where the hell are you going?"
I turned to look at my lovely wife, held down against the infernal machine that had just given her so much pleasure. "I thought I'd go up and get a beer. Hope we have some or I'll have to go out to the store and heaven only knows how long that could take."
"Mike! You can't leave me here like this! What if something happens?"
"Something is going to happen: you're going to have several more orgasms while I'm gone." I started up the stairs. "Have fun!"
"Mike, honey! Please don't leave me, I don't know how much more of this I can take. I..."
Val stopped talking and let out a loud groan as another orgasm began growing to critical mass.
I stayed upstairs nursing a beer for around 15 minutes and during that time I heard the unmistakeable sounds of at least three more huge orgasms. Val didn't call out for me once as I expected she might. Perhaps she thought I really had gone out for more beer. Perhaps she didn't care.
When I went downstairs again, Val was like a rag doll atop the Sybian, lost in a haze of sexual excess. She seemed to be having orgasms about every two minutes or maybe it was one very long one with peaks every so often. She didn't even look at me as I sat down on the sofa again.
Her eyes were shut, her head lolled back. The muscles in her arms were standing out as Val pulled against the straps binding her wrists to the plywood and her legs were flexing rhythmically as if she were trying to pull the dildo farther inside her. I could see her swollen and purple clit sticking out between her labia whenever she rocked back. If someone has ever been in sexual nirvana, then surely this was it. My beautiful wife was fucking the machine as hard as it was fucking her.
I turned up the controls almost to the top.
Val at once screamed and began to shake uncontrollably, moaning, thrashing, riding to sexual bliss. This orgasm lasted for almost a minute and a half by my watch.
As she came down the other side, I followed, turning down the controls until the machine stopped. Val sagged against her bonds, her chest heaving with the excursion I'd just put her through. Sweat poured off her and I went in the laundry room for a big towel which I draped over her shoulders, massaging the moisture away.
She sighed deeply and looked up. "Please, honey...no more."
I switched off the camera and stood in front of her. "No, I can see you've had enough."
As I undid the velcro straps, I had to support Val or she might have just fallen over sideways. Her knees were stiff from having sat on them for such a long time, so I just lifted her into my arms and carried her up the stairs.
After laying her down on the bed, I went to the bathroom and got a wash cloth. Val's pussy was an angry red and very swollen. She'd been very thoroughly used. Juices coated the inside of her thighs down to her knees. By the time I finished cleaning her up, Val was already asleep, her face peaceful.
I went to the basement and put everything away. The top of the Sybian was soaked.
Watching the video later was a trip. I don't think I've ever seen anything so hot. Here was a woman on fire, riding herself to orgasm after orgasm, each one seemingly bigger than the last. There was one thing on the tape, though, that really surprised me.
Shortly after I'd gone upstairs, just after her third orgasm, my lovely Valerie looked directly into the camera. I could clearly see from her eyes and expression and the curl of her smile that it was 'Bad Val' looking out.
"How did you know this is what I want?" She began her rocking motion again. "I tried not to be bad, but it's hard when you punish me so good. Ahhhh..." Her whole body trembled and she smiled. "God, how I love this!"

text: I received an email from Privacy host that Global Bran Protection has sent me a message which includes: That I am using a Famous brand name in my Domain so they want me to C&D, they even accused me of owning a domain that I never seen before. Just to add the site does not really revolve around that brand but its about the programs and other junkie stuff. So, I was wondering what shall I do, the worse that can happen is they will revoke the domain. Just to add this is the second time I am receiving this I received one like 1.5 year back where I decided to surrender the domain because that was my first website and it was making peanuts. This site is making me SOME money, as it only has couple of pages which are ranking well though, even IF I give up the domain i'll just buy another and post all this content on the new one as it took me quite a while to type articles, make movies, post them on youtube get views and blah blah. So, have your say on this please. Thanks

Oh hey, it's Bryce Harper playing football in the outfield at Nationals Park on Wednesday afternoon with his injured/healing left-thumb in a split. Vine below from MASN lifted from Scott Allen/DC Sports Bog (which also has a transcript of the conversation between F.P. Santangelo and Bob Carpenter, of course).
Good to see Harper back patrolling the outfield at Nationals Park...sort of. At least he wasn't wearing a Cowboys hat? At least he didn't run into any walls? At least he was hustling?

A lot of companies make them, often see them on TV shows too but all I've seen in the stores is the cheap plastic ones in the mall kiosks... Any recommendations on a good one? I read the Barely There case is good?

:: Education My qualifications in Marketing Management and my professional experience gave me the background that combines marketing and design study fields. More recently i've been developing skills in design thanks to a product design course i attended at Istituto Marangoni in Milan. In order to expand my horizons, this year i'll be attending a master degree in Clients Service Management at IPAM. :: Professional Experience Besides, being responsible for marketing & design skills and strategies at Liderplas, I'm also the manager of the new design department - LPDESIGN. Its specialties go from visual design, product design (with focus on packaging), prototyping services and branding strategies. Associated to this, we also have consultancy attached to all services that we provide in Liderplas. :: Goals I've always been a creative / designer by training and will never abandon that position in my professional life and at the moment i can say that i'm actually working in the field in too many possible ways - recently i've been developing my multimedia creative side as web designer ( freelancer ) and at Liderplas where packaging design becomes the top of creativity. Since i can remember, I've always had an enterpreneurial side. So, my near future goals go through the creation of my own Fashion Design label as well as improve, develop and take Liderplas to the next level - in innovation, design and quality.
Work experience
Jul 2009 - Present
Designer & Design Consultant
After many colleagues and friends asking me to provide some services for them in the design and marketing field, i've decided to start being self employed in this area.

On the birthcontrol pill Loestrin and have been taking it sense probably early- mid 2011. I try taking it at 9 every night but as expected, I have my slip ups where I forget to bring it with me when I'm out. When I first started the pill, I would get constant long periods/ spotting that could last up to 11 days so they decreased it to fix it. Every sense, I have not had a period (sense April/May of 2012). While I thoroughly enjoy not having periods I do have concerns, curiosities and questions regarding if this means anything specific? Like will this in any way affect my fertility if/ when id plan on having a child (no time soon!) etc.. And if this is normal in general? I've asked my OBGYN and his answer was "well do you want periods?" Me:'no' OBGYN:"then we're good" which didn't leave me with much information ..
Ok I've been on birthcontrol (loestrin) sense probably 2011(?) and I haven't had a period sense 2012

Your period is not tied to fertility. There is a study right now to see if its even necessary to have a period when on birth control. Aren't you taking the sugar pills but instead start the next pack? When you are on birth control the lining of your uterus is decreased. So there is little to "bleed".

Jeri Southern - The Touch of Love b/w You're Gonna Flip Mom (1957)
Jazz and pop singer Jeri Southern was at the height of her popularity in the 1950's around the time of this release.
She had a distinctively beautiful voice well suited to 'torchy' or languorous tunes.
The A-side of this scratchy old 45, used as "The Love Theme From The Paramount Picture 'The Devil's Hairpin'" was written by Ross Bagdasarian (a.k.a. David Seville) who also had a supporting role in the film.
'The Touch of Love' was released about 6 years following Bagdasarian's success with his composition
'Come on-a My House', and about 2 years prior to his
enormous good fortune with singing chipmunks.

Fritz Haeg. artist, architect, gardener, superhero.
Today for $29.95 you can can join the 3.5 million families and businesses getting everlasting happiness from their Trugreen lawns. Every month a man will come to your house and spray a delightful mixture of toxins and fertilizers to kill anything that might live in your lawn and green the stuff thats too dumb to die. (Incidently at the bottom of the Trugreen website a little blurb reads, "TruGreen ChemLawn is now TruGreen, because one word is all you need for a great lawn. We have shortened our name to make it easier for you to remember that we are the experts of lawn care. While we are known as "TruGreen", the name ChemLawn will always be a part of our Company." trugreen.com)
Sheep on the White House lawn during Woodrow Wilson's Administration
The American lawn has been an institution in suburbia since suburbia began. Historians believe that this preocupation with low growning, uniform turf grass stems from 17th century Europe, when the ruling royals flaunted their wealth by surrounding themselves with lawns "Lawns did a great job of showing off castles and manor homes. They also let the neighbors know that the lawn owner was so wealthy that he could afford to use the land as a playground, rather than a source of food. Thus, the lawn became a status symbol." (Donaldson). They are the sign of wealth, materialism, order, and perfection that America thrives on. When the push mower came on the scene in 1870, suddenly almost any property owner who wanted to could have a lawn. So the lawn became a symbol of the American dream, the land of wealth and prosperity, where anyone can have a lawn not used for practical purposes. The USDA and Garden Clubs of America pushed the lawn by holding best-kept lawn contests and writing about the desire to conform and achieve status through a beautiful lawn. The land of wealth and prosperity became the land of excess, wastefulness and materialism. When chemical pesticides and fertilizers came onto the market after World War II, lawns got artificially greener and began to pollute landscapes everywhere. Fertilizer run-off created problems in all waterways and disrupted the balance of ecosystems. For a long time is was thought that agriculture was the main source of pollution to waterways. Only recently did scientists realize the extent to which individually fertilized lawns affected the ecosystem.
Algal bloom caused by fertilizer runoff on the James River in Virginia.
Haeg has been traveling around the country on a crusade against the American lawn in his project, Edible Estates. Instead of these scary unproductive barren patches that we all insist on keeping in front of our homes, Haeg creates beautiful organic edible landscapes that will liven up the whole neighborhood and hopefully make your neighbors jealous. When I think of the words "edible landscape", an a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory image appears in my head of carefully sculpted unicorn topiaries made out of strawberry plants or at least a giant bush shaped like a yorky terrier similar to the one outside the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
Puppy By Jeff Koons outside the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain
As far as I know, Haeg has never made an edible landscape of that sort. His are beautiful, productive, well organized, and lasting. Unlike Trulawn, they invite creatures of all sorts into the front yard, don't dump toxic chemicals into local waterways, and produce lots of good things to eat. "Haeg is taking over one domestic front lawn at a time… in an attempt to completely overthrow the American institution of front lawns by creating a living exhibit that reflects his personal concerns about our environment and the effort that needs to go into protecting it (Thornton)."
Edible Estate #3 in Maplewood, New Jersey (Photo by Fritz Haeg)
"I'm interested in what happens when a garden is placed in a location where it becomes a threat to the industrial/commercial system that we are embedded in." Said Fritzy in an interview with Creative Time, "For some neighborhoods, it is a very provocative gesture that is upsetting. I think that a society that cannot grow it's own food or that is threatened by a garden is in deep trouble. Most American homes will hide their kitchen garden in the backyard, if they have one at all. This project gets them out in front, a display created in an attempt to demonstrate the aesthetically pleasing aspects of pratical gardening. And it works. Haeg's gardens do just what they set out to do, and sometimes I wonder why he doesn't have a million screaming fans following him everywhere.
Stan and Priti Cox stand in front of their suburban home with Edible Estate #1 in Salina, Kansas.
To represent America as a whole, Haeg decided he wanted to build gardens evenly all over the country. He started in pretty much the geographic center on the country: The first edible estate was built in Salina, Kansas in 2005. Since then five other gardens have been built in Lakewood, California (Southwest); Maplewood, New Jersey (Northeast); London, England; Austin, Texas (South); and Baltimore, Maryland (East) respectively. There is also a demonstration garden in Descanso, California. Not only does Fritz Haeg build and advertise the edible estates that he designs and creates, but he also encourages others to do the same. His website has an entire section titled "how to make you own" with plans, costs, advise, and references.In a way, the edible estates Fritz has created are advertisements for vegetable gardening in suburbia. "Haeg calls his Estates "franchise projects" because they can be applied anywhere. They're the product of a sort of global localism that draws its meaning from the indigenous." (Metropolis)
Haeg's garden design for Edible Estate #6 commissioned by The Contemporary Museum in Baltimore
Haeg came to Baltimore to plant an edible landscape for The Contemporary Museum's exhibit Cottage Industry. Many home owners applied for the privilege of having an awesome garden planted in their front yard by a group of eager volunteers from all around the area. To know about the selection process listen to the radio article by Maryland Morning below. So an apparently awesome couple, Clarence and Rudine, were chosen to have Edible Estate #6 planted the front yard of their suburban house and The Contemporary Museum paid for everything. On Thursday, Fritz gave a talk at the museum about the Edible Estates project.
Clarence and Rudine, happy caretakers of Edible Estate #6 in Baltimore
Then on saturday, a whole hoard of volunteers showed up to help and they got the entire garden finished in one day. I found out that the project was happening on saturday afternoon as the last veggies were planted. My bad luck. But I did get a nice email saying I could come check out the garden anytime… Well, at least it saved me the embarrassment of screaming and running around after Fritz Haeg, or fainting on the spot, or being otherwise unable to control myself in his presence…
The happy Baltimore volunteers minus a certain student of urban agriculture who should have been there. (April 11, 2008)
An addition to the wonderfully successful Edible Estates projects, Fritz Haeg has other programs. In 2001, Haeg created the GardenLab on-campus community garden program at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena to get art and architecture students and faculty more in touch with their environmental surroundings. "Faculty, students and staff were encouraged to claim one of 30 designated plots within the school's 175 wooded acres and use it as "a laboratory for messy experimentation and observation of natural cycles." (Morgan) Haeg's new Animal Estates project connects city-dwellers with wildlife. There is currently an Animal Estate exhibit at the Whitney Museum, in New York City. He just published about book about Edible Estates from Metropolis Books. A native Minnesotan, graduated from Carnegie Melon in 1992 with a Bachelors of Arts in Architecture and now lives in Los Angeles.
The man himself: Fritz Haeg ( Photo by Christopher Krieling)
Haeg says, "I like the idea that my projects are better known than I am. More people probably know what the Edible Es-tates project is than who I am, which inverts what's more common today, where you can know someone really well but have no idea what they've ever done." In an era that loves to make stars, "artists are going to want to circumvent that and posit alternative ways of making art or being creative—for example, does art always have to be solitary?" (Metropolis)

Hannah, my 20-month-old, has a fascination for one particular drawer in my office. She stands on tiptoes and clutches the top of the drawer with her chubby fingers. She finds the groove in the middle, inserts her fingers, and then pulls until the drawer slides out.
Inside, she finds a bounty of writing implements: pens, crayons, pencils, markers, and even a few erasers. She pulls them out in handfuls and then stuffs them into her little green box. She snaps down the lid, sits down for a second, then pulls the box open to scoop her treasure back out.
I watch her carefully to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. But I also have to watch with an eagle eye to make sure she doesn't do what she normally tries. She loves to get the markers, red or green in particular, and draw designs on the palm of her hand and her belly.
The last design, drawn in hot pink on her tummy, resembled Chinese lettering that looked so authentic I'm sure someone fluent in the language could have told me what she had written.
I encourage her to explore her artistic talents on paper. That works for a short time as she expertly pops the top off a green pen and uses her right hand to draw a series of lines, circles, and other squiggles on the notepad I've handed her.
But then, when she thinks I'm not looking, she begins putting a temporary tattoo on her knee.
Today she sneaks back to the drawer, snatches a black permanent marker, and turns her back to me. Before I can get to her, she has drawn a Chinese character on her belly again.
She squeals in disapproval when I take the pen away. She furrows her eyebrows into a gruff frown and then looks down at the floor.
Sitting there in her diaper, she looks like a tiny Buddha with her little rounded belly, now adorned with marks that will take quite a bit of scrubbing to remove.
She sits silently, stoically for a few moments. Then she stands and marches into the den to watch TV with Daddy and big brother Ben.
Oh no, I think to myself. Am I blocking her talent? Does she think I'm scolding her for trying to be creative?
I ponder my questions and realize that of all the disciplinary challenges I will face as a parent, using skin as canvas isn't such a big deal. Since there are times that I must say "no," it's probably good to say "yes" once in a while, even though the painted belly does cause me to cringe a bit.
I add a notation to tomorrow's to-do list: Throw away permanent markers. Buy washable markers at the store.

Following the success of sci-fi RPG epic Xenoblade Chronicles, Tetsuya Takahashi and his team at MONOLITH SOFTWARE INC. are working on a brand-new game, Xenoblade Chronicles X, featuring seamless travel across an expansive open world.
During the journey, the player can ride a human-shaped robot with which they can fly through the sky and engage strange new enemies.
The creative force behind Xenoblade Chronicles is creating an open world for players to explore. Players can ride human-shaped robots at certain points in the game, or use the robots to battle enemies in the sky. Xenoblade Chronicles X takes the battles from the original Xenoblade Chronicles, which combined the feeling of an action game with tactical command-based battles, and adds entirely new elements to make combat even more intense than before.
- Riding and controlling a weaponized mech, players can explore every inch of the massive open world displayed in gorgeous high-definition graphics. The world is filled with strange and imaginative creatures, from small bugs to giant dinosaurs.
- As characters improve in different classes, they will learn new combat and defensive skills, or Arts. Players can customize the Arts palette as their characters learn new Arts. All Arts have a "recast" time – once cast, the player must wait out a "cooldown" period before that Art can be used again.
- Players can customize everything about the main character's appearance, including gender, shapes, height, skin color, voice and tattoos.

Dear Ghost, I monogrammed a bag for myself on a whim; now that people have seen it, I'm constantly asked to create monogrammed gear; I get stuck on the rules and regulations; I don't want to do the same thing over and over during my creative time, even though I like the idea of monograms. What should I do?
-Initially Confused
Dear Initally ,
Though monograms in their current form have been gracing the fiber-arts for far longer than any of my gentle readers have been walking the earth, that's no reason monogramming must be boring. These time-tested triads are the most basic form of personalization. They can, and to my mind should, be a unique expression of the individual for whom they are created.
Making memorable monograms begins with discovering what the person for whom the piece is created wants to express. This may sometimes mean following tradition, but even a traditional setup can allow plenty of chances to break the 'rules'. If we take time to consider the receiver and to play with the many variables at our disposal, even the simplest monogram can be counted among truly custom pieces.
The simplicity of the monogram lends itself to an incredible variety of applications and styles. The great luck is that you don't necessarily need to be a digitizer to achieve them; With so many available styles of digitized monogram alphabets hailing from different design eras and so many ways to execute them, it's more important to get a feeling for the look your intended recipient wants than it is to sweat creating it yourself. Ask how traditional they would like the piece to be, what styles or genres of design they like, if they want a script or block style, a rounded or sharp look, intricate or simple rendering, colorful or tone-on-tone palettes, letters alone, or a graphical design that contains or complements the letterforms. Get to the essence of their character well before needles hit fabric.
If your intended recipient is cool to break curly-letter conventions, don't let yourself get too hung up on the rules. I've fielded innumerable emails from decorators desperate for answers to correct letter placement and style. Though a classic monogram stitched on wedding regalia may conventionally have the groom's surname in the center position, we live in a world with many conventions of naming in and out of marriage. Even clothing companies sometimes use classically-influenced monograms for corporate names; there's little use to slavishly following these monogramming 'rules' when when our lives stretch beyond these boundaries. If you want to stack last names, only use first names, or intertwine the letters of all the people in the room, do it. It should mean something to the person who will wear the mark; serve them up something all-new, and all-them. It's fine to know and present the original conventions, but the reason for the modern monogram is often self-expression and identification. Nobody should have to change the way they express their name to fit a monogram, so it follows that we should alter the monogram to fit the needs of the wearer, no matter how unconventional the usage. They should describe, not constrain, how we represent ourselves.

Also, like with a lettermark logo, typography will be an important decision. Since the focus will be on your name, you'll want to pick a font—or create a font—that captures the essence of what your business does. For example, fashion labels tend to use clean, elegant fonts that feel high-end, while legal or government agencies almost always stick to traditional, "heavier" text that feels secure.
Apictorialmark (sometimes called a brand marks or logo symbol) is an icon—or graphic-based design. It's probably the image that comes to mind when you think "logo": the iconic Apple logo, theTwitter bird, the Target bullseye. Each of these companies' logos is so emblematic, and each brand so established, that the mark alone is instantly recognizable. A true brand mark is only an image. Because of this, it can be a tricky logo type for new companies, or those without strong brand recognition, to use.
The biggest thing to consider when deciding to go with a pictorial mark is what image to choose. This is something that will stick with your company its entire existence.You need to think about the broader implications of the image you choose: do you want to play on your name (like John Deere does with their deer logo)? Or are you looking to create deeper meaning (think how the Snapchat ghost tells us what the product does)? Or do you want to evoke an emotion (as the World Wildlife foundation does with their stylized image of a panda—an adorable and endangered species)?
An abstract mark is a specific type of pictorial logo. Instead of being a recognizable image—like an apple or a bird—it's an abstract geometric form that represents your business. A few famous examples include the BP starburst-y logo, the Pepsi divided circle and the strip-y Adidas flower. Like all logo symbols, abstract marks work really well because they condense your brand into a single image. However, instead of being restricted to a picture of something recognizable, abstract logos allow you to create something truly unique to represent your brand.
The benefit of an abstract mark is that you're able to convey what your company does symbolically, without relying on the cultural implications of a specific image. Through color and form, you can attribute meaning and cultivate emotion around your brand. (As an example, think about how the Nike swoosh implies movement and freedom).
Often colorful, sometimes cartoonish, andmost always fun, the mascot logo is a great way to create your very own brand spokesperson—er, spokes-character(?).
A mascot is simply an illustrated character that represents your company. Think of them as the ambassador for your business. Famous mascots include the Kool-Aid Man, KFC's Colonel and Planter's Mr. Peanut. Mascots are great for companies that want to create a wholesome atmosphere by appealing to families and children. Think of all those mascots at sporting events and the great dynamic they create by getting involved with the audience!

text: Guys I have a Brand new iPad purchased 2 weeks ago with 3.2.2 pre-installed, so I have no 3.2.1 SSH's anywhere. Version: 3.2.2(7B500) Model: MB294X Capacity 59.2 GB Only WiFi This is what I did. 1. Download limera1n beta4 2. Connect iPad to my computer 3. MAKE A BACKUP 4. SHUT DOWN iTunes. I did this because of those annoying popups. 5. Run the limera1n exe (Xp Sp3) 6. Follow the very helpful instructions on the button. If you release buttons too soon, limera1n asks you to try again. 7. After a few seconds, a message pops up in Windows that the patch has been made. iPad will then shutdown and restart. 8. For me the limera1n icon was NOT installed on the HOME page but on page 2. Also, very important, it does not appear as a green raindrop, but as a grey (blank) icon with the words "limera1n" below the icon. Note this since the first time I missed seeing it because I was looking for the green raindrop. 9. Run the app and it will take you to Cydia and install Cydia. Run Cydia, and follow the onscreen instructions. 10. On Cydia get the AppSync package. Once installed, iTunes will accept all apps. 11. Reboot iPad and now you will see the green raindrop, with Cydia next to it. What a great sight. This limera1n is really great and does work.

Shares of Bank Of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) rose during premarket Monday morning pre-market hours after Bank of America reported its third-quarter earnings that beat EPS and a rise in profit in three quarters helped by strong bond trading revenue.
According to CNBC, the bank posted earnings of $0.41 a share on revenue of $21.64 billion. Profit of $4.45 billion represented a 6.6 percent gain from a year ago. Wall Street analysts had expected BOA to report earnings of 34 cents a share on revenue of $20.96 billion, according to a consensus estimate from Thomson Reuters.
Bank of America reported a 14 percent rise in sales and trading revenue, helped by a 32 percent jump in fixed income trading revenue. Revenue from equities trading fell 17 percent.
"I think this probably raises the bar a bit for sales and trading revenues going forward," Jeffery Harte, principal, Sandler O'Neill, said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." But he wouldn't extrapolate such strong performance to future quarters.
"Strong client activity and good expense discipline combined to drive positive operating leverage as we continue to optimize and strengthen our balance sheet. With near-record levels of capital and liquidity, as well as robust underwriting standards, Bank of America is stronger, safer and better prepared to deliver for customers and clients than probably at any time in our history," Chief Financial Officer Paul M. Donofrio said in the earnings release.
"We remain focused on delivering long-term value to shareholders," he said. "This quarter, we increased tangible book value per share by 11 percent while returning nearly $2.2 billion in capital to common shareholders."
Shares of Bank of America were higher but volatile, rising more than 1.5 percent in premarket trade following the earnings release.


text: Medical Advances 2015-10-09 A Trojan Horse for Asthma Main Article Content Breadcrumb navigation All/Medical Advances/Trojan Horse For Asthma New Nanoparticle Technology Could Turn Off Allergies This article was originally published in the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine News Center. It has been edited for the Breakthroughs in Care audience. In an entirely new approach to treating asthma and allergies, a biodegradable nanoparticle acts like a Trojan horse, hiding an allergen in a friendly shell to convince the immune system not to attack it, according to new Northwestern Medicine research. As a result, the allergic reaction in the airways is shut down long term and an asthma attack is prevented. The research used technology that can be applied to food allergies as well. The nanoparticle is currently being tested in a mouse model of peanut allergy, similar to food allergy in humans. "The findings represent a novel, safe and effective long-term way to treat and potentially 'cure' patients with life-threatening respiratory and food allergies," said Stephen Miller, PhD, Judy Gugenheim Research Professor of Microbiology-Immunology. "This may eliminate the need for life-long use of medications to treat lung allergy." This marks the first time this method for developing tolerance in the immune system has been used in allergic diseases. The approach has been used in autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis and celiac disease in previous preclinical Northwestern Medicine research. The scientists studied asthma allergy in mice, but the technology is progressing to clinical trials in autoimmune disease. The nanoparticle technology is being developed commercially to bring this new approach to patients. A clinical trial using the nanoparticles to treat celiac disease is in development. "It's a universal treatment," Miller said. "Depending on what allergy you want to eliminate, you can load up the nanoparticle with ragweed pollen or a peanut protein." When the allergen-loaded nanoparticle is injected into the bloodstream of mice, the immune system sees the particle as harmless debris. Then the nanoparticle and its hidden cargo are consumed by a macrophage, essentially a vacuum-cleaner cell. "The vacuum-cleaner cell presents the allergen or antigen to the immune system in a way that says, this belongs here," Miller said. The immune system then shuts down its attack on the allergen, and the immune system is reset to normal. The allergen, in this case egg protein, was administered into the lungs of mice who had been pretreated to be allergic to the protein and already had antibodies in their blood against it. So when they were re-exposed to it, they responded with an allergic response like asthma. After being treated with the nanoparticle, they no longer had an allergic response to the allergen. The approach also has a second benefit. It creates a more balanced immune system by increasing the number of regulatory T-cells, immune cells important for recognizing the airway allergens as normal. This method turns off the dangerous Th2 T-cell that causes the allergy and expands the good, calming regulatory T-cells. Interested in hearing more from Northwestern Medicine?

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will visit Ukraine Thursday for meetings with Petro Poroshenko, the country's president, amid high tensions with Russia, who the alliance says is continuing to mass troops near the Ukrainian border.
In addition to Poroshenko, Rasmussen is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister, Arseniy Yatseniuk, Foreign Affairs Minister Pavlo Klimkin, and Parliament Speaker Oleksandr Turchinov.
The visit comes as some 20,000 Russian combat troops are reported to have massed on border of Ukraine.
US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Wednesday said a Russian invasion of Eastern Ukraine is a possibility.
"When you see the buildup of Russian troops and the sophistication of those troops, the training of those troops, the heavy military equipment that's being put along that border, of course it's a reality and it's a threat, and it's a possibility," Hagel said during a briefing with reporters during a visit to US European Command in Stuttgart, Germany.
