Cultivating Your Own Creativity
Aug 26, 2013 9:43:41 AM
This weekend I had a little extra time. I intended to go to the library and pick up some books and it was closed so I went to Barnes and Noble instead. I found this book that was very colorful and interesting. The book is called Decorate Workshop by Holly Becker. I particularly was drawn to this book because it was special and unlike any other design book that I have seen. Holly Becker actually speaks from her heart and writes as if she is speaking to a friend. In this book, she teaches you how you can find your own creativity by asking you to think about answers to key questions. I highly recommend this book. I actually tried very hard not to buy it and put it back several times but it was too special to leave on the shelf for someone else to buy. I had to have it. No other book that I have read actually teaches through exercises how to draw out your own creativity. That is worth a lot.
One of Holly's recommendations was to visit and use Pintrest as a design tool. Using Pintrest can allow your creative side to come out. You can use it to gather pictures and themes that coincide with each other. It is an easy way to collect images of your favorite things. You can use it to select styles of furniture, images of inspirational designs, color pallets that you enjoy and are drawn to. Create your digital design ideas to draw inspiration from and hone in on what design styles you would like to make your own. This is a great way to discover what you like best and create and design according to what you learn about yourself.

Why You Should Have A Part-Time Online Business Aside From Your Day Job - Part 2
THERE are many advantages in starting a part-time online business while you're still employed. Some of which were tackled in the first post (Why You Should Have A Part-Time Online Business Aside From Your Day Job Part 1). Here are more reasons why.
First, you will still be getting a steady paycheck, month after month. This ensures that you won't starve and that you are still able to pay the rent while you look for customers for your new part-time business. You really can't expect your new business to profit immediately so it's a good thing to have a different source of income for the time being.
Keeping your day job also gives you more time to hone your business. Since you are not exactly in a hurry to earn gazillions of dollars to pay the bills, you don't have to rush into selling a product or service that isn't ready for the market yet. You can also develop better marketing and sales strategies.
Another reason why people are hesitant to run an online business while currently employed is the mistaken perception that they won't have a life. On the contrary, if you manage your time well, you should be able to have even more fun because as soon as your online business kicks in, you'll have more income. If your online business becomes more demanding, you can always consider hiring someone and delegating.
There is, however, something you need to consider before you start your own business. You should review your employment contract and scrutinize it closely, particularly if your online business competes directly against your current employer. Should this be the case, it might be more advisable to not embark on your online business until you have resigned from your current job.
Also, don't talk about it to your coworkers. Some employers aren't comfortable with employees with part-time businesses because they feel it takes time away from work and makes them less productive. They may also suspect that you are using company time and resources.
Starting your part-time online business has its pros and cons. But if you are careful enough and don't step on anyone's toes, it is always a good option to have a business you can call your own—even if you are still presently employed.

Remember how I mentioned a while back that these days my kids have a more active social life than their parents? Well, my children also live a more glamorous life than we do these days. While Mommy and Daddy sit in the office next week, little big girl will be on vacation again. Not bad, eh?
This time I refuse to acknowledge that little ache in the upper left part of my chest. I will not have visions of myself sitting on the couch in an old pyjama à la Bridget Jones to the notes of All By Myself. I will blink back those tears and focus on what happens when she comes back.
No surprise then that I was thrilled yesterday when I found inspiration on Dinners & Dreams to use up exactly the ingredients I had in my fridge. I played around with the recipe to accomodate some ingredients I wanted to use and leave out others I didn't have. The result was tangy, sweet, caramelized and tender at the same time.

Some weather forecasters are now predicting that our total rainfall this winter will be below average and are urging residents to be frugal with water use. What can we do to save water without giving up our gardens? If you grow potatoes, here's one suggestion by Kevin Lee Jacobs who writes a home and gardening blog from his home in New York's Hudson River Valley. He describes a method of growing potatoes that gets the maximum spud harvest using very little water. It is similar to the traditional method but with one essential difference — covering (often called hilling) the potatoes with chopped straw rather than with soil.
In a raised bed, Jacobs digs a shallow hole, drops in a seed potato and covers it with an inch of soil. (Jacobs doesn't have a gopher problem in New York but gardeners here should be sure a raised bed is lined with gopher wire or hardware cloth since the rodents like potatoes as much as people do.) He spaces his seed potatoes 12-inches apart. Then over the planted potatoes, he places a topless and bottomless wooden frame that effectively adds another 12 inches of height to the potato bed. As his potatoes sprout and grow, instead of hilling them up with more soil as I have always done, he adds chopped straw, always leaving 2 inches or so of the plant protruding above the straw. He continues adding straw around the growing plants until the straw has reached the top of the frame. He says that the potatoes produce prodigiously with this method, with tubers forming all along the stems that grow freely throughout the straw. He also says "The method is certainly water-wise, because the straw shades the soil below, and thus keeps it cool and moist. I think I watered my crop only twice last summer, and believe me, it was not a rainy season!" He notes that the potatoes are very easy to find in the straw and come out clean and blemish-free since he doesn't have to dig them from soil or risk puncturing them with a shovel or fork. The straw goes into his compost bin at the end of the season. He writes that leaves from deciduous trees or shrubs work equally well in place of the straw. He also mentions that he can harvest new (young) potatoes from the straw without disturbing the plant, thus allowing the rest of the crop to continue to enlarge.
Jacobs' readers from all over the U.S. and Canada responded to his blog by suggesting slight variations to his method, based on their own experiences. One wrote that she always uses wood chips instead of straw and gets great harvests. Another extends the height of the potato bed by creating a circle of chicken wire instead of using a wooden frame; she then hills with straw inside the wire circle. And still another grows her potatoes in a stack of three old tires but also uses the chopped straw to hill the tubers. At www.agardenforthehouse.com/2014/05/another-way-to-plant-potatoes, you can read the original blog entry and see photos. Jacobs writes about other gardening and home situations and includes recipes in his blog. You can subscribe via email if you enjoy it.
It is strongly recommended that only certified disease-free seed potatoes be planted to avoid introducing one or more of the many potato diseases into your garden. They are available in local garden centers right now. Don't worry if you find that many of them are sprouting in the packages. Jacobs and many other experienced potato growers like to pre-sprout them anyway. Using scissors, just carefully cut the mesh bag from around the sprouts so that they don't break off from the tuber, and then plant. Some growers like to cut the seed potatoes into pieces, each containing two or three "eyes" but that method requires that you allow the cut edges to callous over for 48 hours before planting to minimize the chance of rot.

IN WHICH: A party of adventurers traveling from Ashford town to Sooton on a delivery errand are waylaid, a dwarf is met and a trouble is discussed.
Orin Copperhead the dwarf, Jim Baggins the wizard, Quinn Quimby and Giles Corey the elf met a few weeks ago in Ashford town when they joined a search party looking for a lost girl. Their group was the one that found her safe and sound and gained some measure of reputation in the town (currently everyone has a +2 reputation in Ashford town except for Giles, the NPC elf, who has a +1). But reputations are fickle and only further deeds can cement these adventurers as heroes in the minds of the people.
Partly because of this reputation, they were hired to deliver a valuable bugbear longsword to Sooton. Bugbear longswords are considered masterwork weapons and usually can only be gained by killing a bugbear. This longsword, quite definitely a fine weapon, was manufactured by a mysterious Tradetown company called the Iron Bugbear Company (how they learned the method of creating these weapons and where in Tradetown the are located is the mystery).
Along the trip through the Deep Forest, they encountered Yarkand, a mythical stag that is beloved by the Valley. Yarkand, the Emperor of the Ashford Valley, the Lord of Forest, Farm and Field, met the adventurers near one of the mysterious Runestones along the road and led them through the forest (on a trail that appeared before Yarkand and disappeared behind them) to a near-abandoned manor. Then Yarkand walked into the forest and disappeared.
At the old manor, the party met Linder the Dwarf, a miner (and uncle to Orin) who found a vein of gold in the nearby mine. Linder was glad of the friendly company and invited them in to tell them his problem. A man had come earlier and gave Linder a bad feeling. He's expecting trouble and that trouble came several days later with the appearance of a bandit gang (leading a half-dozen or so prisoners!).

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Jarron Cumberland scored 18 points and No. 14 Cincinnati shrugged off a slow start to beat South Florida 78-55 on Saturday night.
Jacob Evans III had 16 points and Kyle Washington added 14 to help the Bearcats (15-2, 4-0) remain unbeaten in American Athletic Conference play.
The victory was the eighth straight for Cincinnati, which shot 70 percent (14 of 20) while outscoring the Bulls 43-22 in the second half.
USF (7-11, 0-5) has lost six in a row, remaining winless in the AAC, where it has been beaten by an average of nearly 25 points per game.
Payton Banks led the Bulls with 22 points.
Cincinnati closed the opening half on a 24-12 run, turning a 10-point deficit into a 35-33 lead. That was as close as the score would be the rest of the way, with the Bearcats methodically building a double-digit lead of their own.
USF shot 57 percent in the first half, including four of five 3-pointers, but was outscored 17-5 from the foul line. The Bulls missed 11 of their first 16 shots coming out of the break and trailed by as many as 24 down the stretch.
Gary Clark finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds for Cincinnati.
Cincinnati: There was no panic when the Bearcats fell behind early. They offset poor shooting from the field by making 17 of 18 free throws before halftime. The second game of their Florida road swing figures to be more challenging. UCF (12-5, 3-2) has played well lately, winning eight of nine before last Wednesday's 62-53 loss at UConn.
South Florida: First-year coach Brian Gregory inherited a program that lost 17 of its final 18 games last winter, so the Bulls are in a bonafide rebuilding mode with 10 new players, including three graduate transfers (Banks, Stephan Jiggetts, Terrence Samuel). Freshman David Collins has provided a lift off the bench the past six games and figures to get more playing time over the next few weeks.
The last time USF beat a ranked opponent was Feb. 29, 2012, when the Bulls knocked off No. 19 Louisville 58-51 on the road. Saturday was the sixth anniversary of their most recent upset of a ranked team at home, a 56-55 victory over No. 23 Seton Hall.
Cincinnati: At UCF on Tuesday night.
South Florida: At East Carolina on Wednesday night.

Christian Dior Doesn't Do Bold Shoulders Award
Rihanna sported a new 'do at the 2010 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards yesterday.
We all know that Rihanna is a big fan of Alexander Vauthier and Balmain who both love bold shoulders, but Christian Dior didn't follow that trend.
Rihanna is clearly still in love with this trend so she improvised by over padding her Christian Dior Spring 2010 chevron print dress.
I loved this dress when Florence Welch wore it to a Brit Awards party earlier this year, but Rihanna really needed to sit down and stop trying so hard.
This look feels so contrived. Nothing feels natural about it.
It could've been so pretty, but I really dislike the badger hair plus her beige Brian Atwood pointy pumps don't work when paired with the white Christian Dior shimmery ankle socks.
Just when I was starting to appreciate her again, she does a 180 on me.

For the imprisonment of captive enemy enlisted men, a net of "Stalags", an military abbreviation for "(Mannschafts-)Stammlager" (regularly allocated POW camps for enlisted men) spread over the territory of the Reich, counted by Roman numbers according to the "Wehrkreis" (martial district) they where situated in and additionally differentiated by capital letters if there was more than one camp within the district.
According to the Geneva Convention and the Warfare Ordinance of The Hague, captive officers had to be treated in different ways - as long as their country had signed these treaties. Hence there was another category of German POW camps, the "Oflags", i.e. "Offizierslager" (POW camps for officers), for logistical reasons often attached to a "Stalag," but with own guarding personnel and administration.
The archival sources for the life in these camps are scarce. Many records have been destroyed during or immediately after the war or confiscated by the Allies. This fact aggravates research and applies also to the situation in Nuremberg. The only coherent description of the development of the local "Stalag," for which the installations of the "Reichsparteitagsgelaende" (Nazi party rally grounds) were utilized, has been written in 1949 by the retired colonel Pellet, last commanding officer of "Stalag XIII D Nuremberg-Langwasser" (the latter is a creek used for the denomination of the then undeveloped area, today of the suburb covering large parts of the rally grounds). Of course the tendency of his military memoirs is far from being self-critical, at least the dates and figures he gives can claim a certain reliability.
Immediately after the German aggression against Poland in September 1939, the grounds of the former "SA-Lager" (Nazi Stormtroopers' camp) at Langwasser were used by Wehrmacht as prisoners' camps, at first as "Ilag" (Internierungslager," camp of internment) for enemy civilians, but in the very month being converted into a "Stalag."
Until its dissolution in August 1940, the number of inmates grew enormously to a peak of approx. 150,000 housed in barracks with a maximum capacity of 200 men. All the nationalities of the invaded countries where held captive here: Poles, Dutchmen, Belgians and French, but obviously no British soldiers, who as well as later on the GIs were concentrated in other camps, mostly in the eastern part of the Reich. They came to Nuremberg only at the end of WW2 when the eastern "Stalags" were evacuated before the approaching Red Army.
Right from the beginning the captive soldiers' working power was made available to the German war economy. Particularly the Western European inmates, skilled in trades useful to the industry were divided into "Arbeitskommandos" (work details) and 'lent' to the companies by the "Wehrmacht." Others had to work as farm hands in the rural areas of the martial district.
The dissolution of the "Stalag" Nuremberg-Langwasser in August 1940 took place for reasons of creating smaller entities easier to control and dislocated in remote areas of the "Wehrkreis".
The result were 3 new "Stalags:"
● Stalag XIII A Hohenfels, military training area (Upper Palatine), moved to Sulzbach (Upper Palatine) in November 1940
● Stalag XIII B Weiden (Upper Palatine)
● Stalag XIII C Hammelburg (Lower Franconia)
After the camp area had been cleared of enlisted men - of course the numerous work details remained with the armament industry in the city, but were housed in camps owned by the respective companies - two "Oflags" (XIII A and XIII B) were established there. Their inmates were in their majority French and Serbian officers.
The German aggression against the Soviet Union changed the situation of POWs in German detention dramatically. Millions of soldiers of the Red Army became captive and after the Germans decided on making use of their working power for the German industry, the remnants of the wave of lethal diseases and starvation in fall and winter 1941 were shipped to the Reich.
The former Stormtroopers' camp on party rally grounds gained importance in this process by being used as "Dulag" ("Durchgangslager", transit camp) for Nuremberg being a railroad hub of great importance to the logistics of this undertaking. Also Soviet soldiers, enlisted men and officers, had to stay in Nuremberg assigned to work here - the USSR had not signed the Geneva Convention - but not before April 1943 an official "Stalag" had been reestablished here: "Stalag XIII D." The "Oflags" were moved temporarily to Hammelburg training area, but obviously were relocated as "Oflag 73" until the middle of the following year.
In his report colonel Pellet wrote that in August 1943 "Stalag XIII D" had been damaged heavily by an allied air raid. 2/3 of the wooden barracks burned down but only 2 Soviet soldiers were the casualties of this attack. The frequency of the bombings of Nuremberg, the density of the population within the barbed wire fences with, at the same time, merely symbolic sheltering facilities ("Splitterschutzgraeben", protective trenches, covered by a ceiling of wooden beams and a layer of soil) explain the precautions displayed in the surveillance photo (see below). Though Pellet reports no other attack against the camp, many POWs fell victim to the aerial warfare against Nuremberg during their working duty or other assignments in the city area, most of them Soviets, but also US-soldiers: During the raid of April 5, 1945 performed by US Air Force, a column of American officers at the periphery of the city was hit with 29 men killed.
When the allied forces closed in for the German borders from East and West in late 1944, "Stalag XIII D" and "Oflag 73" became the destination of the increasingly chaotic evacuation transports from other German POW camps. Entire camps moved in, e.g. inmates and staff of the "Luftwaffenlager" (air force POW camp) III Sagan in Silesia with approx. 6,000 US and British crew members. But also the regular population of the Nuremberg camps reached enormous dimensions as given in the periodical "Kriegsgefangenenbestandsmeldung" (POW status report) of Dec. 1, 1944 (quoted after Sanden, Das Kriegsgefangenenlager, p 70).
The total of 29,550 POWs including 8,680 officers in "Stalag XIII D" and "Oflag 73" consisted of the following nationalities:
● 14,818 Soviets
● 10,807 French
● 1, 521 Italian military internees (IMI)
● 1,200 Belgians
● 606 Serbs
● 476 Poles
● 77 British
● 45 Americans
Of these men 21,002 were in work details including 7,943 Soviet officers and 2 others.
In Nuremberg too, the prelude of the liberation were evacuation marches starting April 12, 1945, which headed to "Stalag" Moosburg in Upper Bavaria. The Nuremberg camps were freed by the US Army on April 16, 1945 finding there approx. 13,000 quarantined POWs for typhoid fever, the Serbian officers and the staff of the POW hospital, most of them also Serbs. The bulk of the former inmates was liberated on April 29 northwest of Moosburg.
The main camp
The captions given in the map of late June 1944 (see below archival sources) apply perfectly upon the status quo depicted in the British surveillance photo: To the northeast of the scattered rows of barracks surrounded by a double barbed wire fence and watchtowers (W), there were the HQ of the commanding officer of the "Stalag" (CS), the main gate of the camp (G), close to it the military prison for the inmates (P) and the HQ of the commanding officer of the "Oflag" (CO).
The barracks were divided into seven blocks alongside the camp's streets. Block 7 to the southeast side of the camp has been subdivided into 3 units (from right to left 7a, 7b, 7c), most likely the location of the "Oflag."
"Block 8"
The separation of the 8th block of the camp with its barracks standing closely side by side must have had a special purpose within the "Stalag." Has it been established for the quarantine of recently arrived POWs from other camps? There is another difference to the main camp: On one roof of the barracks, clearly readable for the allied bomber pilots approaching the city of Nuremberg from the southwest in most of the cases, there is the inscription "POW." The same precautions can be found at the two POW hospitals, but not within the limits of the main camp.
Another interesting detail in this picture are the lines drawn with a ruler to emphasize the fence around the block. The British air force specialists meticulously analyzed the information brought home by their crews 5 days before the Americans liberated the camp.
The POW hospital
The roofs of the barracks are marked by red crosses to prevent them from being bombed, to make it sure in addition the triple warning "POW" (see circles) on the ground. It is not clear to us whether the mysterious "o" shaped lines are some kind of a military flag symbol or caused by something else.
To the right of letter "S" one can see the zigzag-structure of a "Splitterschutzgraben."
The hospital for Soviet POWs
The existence of a separate "Lazarett" (hospital) for Soviet POWs on the grounds of the former Hitler Youth camp meant primarily: lower standards of treatment and nutrition compared to the captive soldiers from other countries according to the deadly racial theory of the Nazis, which of course also influenced the way "Wehrmacht" looked at them. Otherwise the details match the elements of the other parts of the camp: Warning signs for the allied bombers, fence and position of watchtower (W) emphasized by a British pencil, 2 covered trenches between the barracks to the southeastern corner. Their zigzag form was supposed to break the power of a blast close to the shelter. In the case of a direct hit, these trenches offered no protection at all.

First of all I rinse 'Marty' with a hose pipe to loosen any surface dirt, I then use my Shampoo and conditioner to clean him. Once clean I go round the whole car with the tar remover and insect remover getting rid of any ground in tar, film or dirt.
I then spray each wheel with Wheel cleaner and use the wheel brush to get rid of any brake dust.
Then using the detailer spray and my clay bar I run around the car making sure the paint is as smooth as it can be before polishing it.
I then rinse out my bucket and wash the car again to get rid of the oily look of the tar, insect remover and detailer spray then go over the wheels with a different wash mitt to make sure everything is clean.
Using my perfect palm applicator I apply the paint renovator to get rid of any swirl marks from the paint. And take off with a wool buffing pad, I go over the whole car until the paint is smooth and swirl free.
I then use a different perfect palm applicator pad to apply the super resin polish buffing off once again with a new wool buffer.
And repeat this process with the HD Wax applying this time with a foam applicator pad and removing with a soft microfibre cloth.
Once everything is gleaming I seal the wheels. Use the bumper gel on the trim, the metal polish to go over the chrome bright work being a mini it has a lot of chrome.
Marty has a leather top so I make sure that the leather is cleaned and treaded with leather balm as it is only out in the sun and it fades very easily if not looked after.
The glass is last and I make sure inside and out is streak free.
To finish off I use a clean dry soft microfibre cloth to go over the whole car making sure I haven't left any wax or polish on the paintwork or trim.
Hope you like him as much as I do and thanks for looking and voting.

GOSHEN — A Poughkeepsie man was supposed to be sentenced Thursday in Orange County Court for stabbing a City of Newburgh police officer in the neck, but a series of errors meant the sentencing wasn't in the cards.
GOSHEN — A Poughkeepsie man was supposed to be sentenced Thursday in Orange County Court for stabbing a City of Newburgh police officer in the neck, but a series of errors meant the sentencing wasn't in the cards.
Larry Gantt Jr., 37, was convicted Dec. 2 of felony counts of attempted assault, attempted aggravated assault on a police officer, and assault and criminal possession of a weapon. A jury found that Gantt intentionally stabbed Officer Eric Henderson in the neck as Henderson tried to arrest him during a street brawl early on Nov. 3, 2012, in the City of Newburgh, and that he attempted to cause serious physical injury. The knife just missed Henderson's carotid artery and jugular vein.
After trial, Senior Assistant District Attorney Michael Milza sought to have Gantt sentenced as a persistent felony offender because of four previous felony convictions. Without that designation, Gantt faces up to 15 years in prison on the top count; with it, he faces a minimum of 15 years to life and a maximum of 25 to life.
Gantt was to be sentenced Thursday, but Judge Nicholas De Rosa said Gantt's lawyer, Dawn Florio, raised the issue that she may not have adequately advised her client before trial that he faced possible designation as a persistent offender. De Rosa said it's possible that if Gantt had known about the higher sentencing possibilities, he might have asked for a mistrial rather than agreeing to replace three jurors who were unable to keep serving during the trial.
De Rosa said if he held the necessary hearing and found Gantt to be a persistent offender, the case would almost certainly be returned on appeal, most likely for a new trial.
Milza told the judge he'd like to discuss the issues further with the District Attorney's Office Appeals Unit, and planned to check the arraignment transcript. Prosecutors in the office usually enumerate prior felony convictions during bail arguments.
In addition, De Rosa said, the court hadn't requested a presentencing investigation and report for Gantt. One was ordered Thursday. Gantt's hearing and sentencing were rescheduled for April 30. Florio declined comment after court.

Richard Wood's "Shock Tudor" In World Of Interiors
Artist Richard Woods, known most recently for his "Wrongwoods" collaboration with Sebastian Wrong, was given full reign over a "hideous 1980s ranch house" in Woodstock, NY. This caught our eye (how could it not?) in the most recent issue of World Of Interiors, and we thought we'd share.
More photos after the jump...
Woods has worked with these themes almost exclusively for years; in fact, it was his 2002 show at Deitch Projects, "Super Tudor", that initially inspired home-owner and art collector Adam Lindemann to contact Woods.
While we're not sure we could live in a house so obsessed with looking like the idea of a house, (Lindermann says "I thought I'd get a parody of what a weekend house should be.") we admire taking such bold moves with era and pattern. Many of the pieces within are designed by favorite Paul Evans.
What do you think? Perhaps not only about these images, but about the idea of satire in aesthetics? Does parody belong in the home?
For interested New Yorkers, Woods' work is available to view at Paul Smith, and to purchase via Matter.

KABUL An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.6 struck South Asia on Sunday, shaking buildings in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India, witnesses and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said, although there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
The USGS said the quake was centered near Chitral in remote northwestern Pakistan, close to the Afghan border, at a depth of 210 km (130 miles).
Residents left their homes in Kabul and Islamabad when the quake struck, with buildings swaying for well over a minute in both capitals. Similar reports were received from across northern and central Pakistan.
People in the Pakistani city of Lahore, 630 km from the epicenter, also reported they had felt the tremors.
A Reuters witness in Chitral said the tremor was strong but there was no major damage visible.
A 7.5-magnitude quake struck the area on Oct. 26 last year, killing more than 300 people and destroying thousands of homes.
In Kabul, Omar Mohammadi, a spokesman for the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority, said officials were collecting information but no reports of casualties or damage had been received so far.
Tremors were also felt in the Indian capital and in Kashmir, witnesses said, with some people working in high-rise buildings in the Indian capital rushing into the streets. The Delhi underground system was also halted briefly, commuters told the NDTV channel.
The Hindu Kush area bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan is a seismically active area, with quakes often felt across the region. Just over a decade ago, a 7.6-magnitude quake in another part of northern Pakistan killed about 75,000 people.

Tired actor Al Pacino
- Bang Showbiz
- 25 October 2008
Hollywood legend Al Pacino hates the long hours of being an actor
Al Pacino hates the long hours actors work.
The Oscar-winning star wants amount of time stars spend on set to be cut, and admits he is always tired.
Pacino, 68, said: "I don't think the long hours are good for the crew or the actors. Requesting shorter hours isn't going to put me in good favour with the producers though!"
The Hollywood legend recently revealed he would love to work with Robert De Niro again, following on from the success of their collaborative movie 'Righteous Kill' earlier this year.
He said: "Working with Bob was a real comfort factor. He understands the way it works. We've known each other and been close for years so it's great for us to finally do something like this.
"We're looking at trying to do something together which we can develop from the start, something we can both oversee and be involved in.
"So hopefully we can get together again. That's a good thing to aspire to."

Quote from Lake Houses Architecture Made in a Modern Building Style :
In addition, style of glass decoration that is also applied to design house exterior building in this project actually will become a positive value of building style which it will be able to create an elegant impression of house exterior style. Yellow lamp decoration that is applied in a house interior actually will create a comfortable condition which it will make design of building to look more beautiful and modern. Soft light sparkling of yellow interior lamp also becomes positive value in this project.

Only hours ago, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in Malaysia, resisted calls for her to return to the Middle East to broker an immediate cease-fire:
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she would return to the Middle East "when it is right" but gave no timetable, dashing hopes she would launch a new Middle East peace drive on Friday.
It was unclear where she would go to next but Rice indicated it was too early to use her diplomatic muscle and push for a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel, which has been pounding Hizbollah in southern Lebanon for over two weeks.
"I am going to return to the Middle East. The question is when is it right for me to return to the Middle East," she told a news conference after taking part in a global security forum in Malaysia.
In what appears to be a reversal in U.S. policy, President Bush has just announced that Rice will return to the Middle East tomorrow. While he doesn't appear to have said this, I assume her return can only mean an effort to negotiate a cease-fire.
I suppose it's possible that this about-face may have occurred because Israel notified the administration that it has completed its effort to dismantle Hezbollah several weeks ahead of schedule, but it isn't likely. I fear that the administration (and perhaps Israel's government as well) has caved in to pressure to stop the fighting in preference to winning the battle. If so, it is a very sad day in the history of our effort to resist the advance of terrorist Islam.
Via Power Line News.
PAUL adds: Although this visit is a bad idea, I'm hoping that it's just an effort to keep Tony Blair and others happy. With any luck, Rice will just go through the motions while Israel gets on with the job. Unfortunately, as we have noted, Israel does not seem to getting on with the job as forcefully as it needs to.

Ivan Grundahl is a Danish designer with a rather conceptual point of view. You can check his recent work here: http://www.ivangrundahl.dk/index.php.
A local store had a few pieses by him last season. Although his stuff is expensive, most of the items in that store sold before getting down to my comfort price point; but I did manage to get the top for a tenth of the price.
This is the type of design you can never copy without having the original on hand. Recently I copied the pattern, made few (not significant) changes (lengthened it, neckline is a bit different), and replicated it in lightweigh wool jersey that ( I think) I bought from EOS awhile ago. The last picture shows the shape of the top.

Anyone else getting sick of rampant fighting among tech companies? I don't even just mean lawsuits; the latest battle is between Microsoft and Apple and involves SkyDrive and Apple's 30 percent fee on in-app purchases. Come on! Why bother even offering an app in the first place if it's ultimately going to result in another fight?
Here's what's going on: TNW on Tuesday issued a report that claims Microsoft and Apple are butting heads because Apple wants Microsoft to cough up 30 percent of the revenue that it earns from SkyDrive users who opt to buy more cloud storage. Microsoft, for whatever reason, doesn't want to pay the fee. As such, Apple is apparently delaying an update to the iOS SkyDrive application and blocking other third-party apps that access SkyDrive. But here's the thing: everyone knows Apple charges the fee, so why is Microsoft suddenly backing out?
According to TNW, Microsoft thinks that, ultimately, its users may eventually leave iOS for another platform. So basically, Microsoft loses 30 percent in revenue if an iOS user upgrades and then eventually uses the service from another device years down the road. Someone needs to sit down with a calculator, though. The iOS install base is huge, so it's actually putting SkyDrive in front of more eyeballs than if it wasn't available at all. So why is the 30 percent such a big deal?
We'll let you know how this pans out, but the tech wars are getting annoyingly silly.

An action research project involving scientists from the National Research Council Canada and the Institute for Ocean Technology analyzed difficulties in using software to collect data and manage processes. The project identified three requirements for increasing research productivity: ease of use for end users, managing scientific workflows, and facilitating software interoperability. On the basis of these requirements, the researchers developed Sweet, a software framework, to help automate scientific workflows.

Bourke's parakeets are a grass parrot approximately 19 cm (up to 9 inches) long and weighing around 45 grams. They were named after General Sir Richard Bourke, Governor of New South Wales from 1831 to 1837. Color mutations of the Bourke's parakeet include the rosy pink color, cinnamon, cream, pink, lutino and rubino, which combine lutino and rosy. They can live for up to 15 years in a proper parrot environment.
The Bourke's parakeet orginates from Australia.
The Bourke's parakeet feeds on grasses and seeds in its natural habitat. These pretty birds do well on cockatiel seed, small parrot pellets, a mix of fresh dark greens, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Millet is a favorite among small pet birds and can be given daily or a few times a week. Check out the fresh food list for more ideas.
Determing the sex of each is fairly easy once mature. The adult male has a blue forehead while the adult female has little or no blue on the forehead. The Bourke's has a clutch of 3 to 6 eggs, which are incubated by the female for 18–19 days, with the chicks fledging at about 4 weeks of age.
The female also feeds and tends to the chicks by herself. While the female is incubating the eggs, and also while she is feeding the chicks in the nest. The male Bourke's parakeet feeds the female through this bonding process.
These beautiful little sweeties require a cage large enough to expand the entire wing span. When pairing any parrot pair together for breeding, you will want to provide a larger flight cage than large enough for the breeding box as well.
When choosing a cage for your pet, we highly recommend purchasing an acrylic cage for your bird to be housed in. These cages provide a practical solution to birdie messes and add beauty to your home.
Emotional Well-Being:
Bourke's parakeets are super smart and sweet! With that said, they have special requirements to maintain their happiness and quality of life that keep them sweet. These pet birds usually like to bathe on a daily basis. Fresh greens are a must for Bourke's parakeets. Grained bread and sprouts will also encourage a natural happy environment.
As with any pet parrot, they need bright and colorful toys with a variety of textures to chew on. Pet birds love to hear positive music, their owner's voice, and even the t.v.!

That was the position that some of D.C.'s finest found themselves in when they recently shot a woman who was clearly out of her mind. In doing so, they availed the news media just the latest excuse to put its spin on matters law enforcement related.
The slant of the coverage has been predictable, with the Los Angeles Times headline focusing on the cops with a story that was headlined "When to shoot? Capitol Shooting Raises Questions About Force," while FOX put the focus on the decedent with a story headlined "'She was Depressed' Woman killed in D.C. Chase was Delusional, Official Says."
Of the many news media outlets I sampled, most went the LA Times' route, monday morning quarterbacking a profession they know very little about. Given the spin they collectively put on the incident early in the game, their piety becomes even more curious. Challenged on the erroneous and alarmist inferences they'd made, I suppose these same reporters might defensively argue they had an obligation to report on what was obviously an important and evolving incident and the limited knowledge of the particulars involved relegated them to a series of rhetorical speculations, both implied ("not known if this was a terrorist attack") and otherwise. And you know, I could see that rationale even if I wouldn't cosign it. What I can't buy is their unwillingness to be similarly open-minded about what happened in the streets that day, particularly as it relates to the cops who were apparently expected to play dodge car all afternoon.
This would be provocative in and of itself. But it's knowing that if the woman had taken to the sidewalk and run over a bunch of pedestrians—a familiar enough sight here in So Cal given our own mentally ill demographic—that this same news media would have been just as self-righteous in castigating the cops for not taking her out in the first place that really brings things to a brim. Talk about "damned if you do..." conundrums.
The situation is undeniably a tragic one, and my sincere compassion for the mentally ill has been acknowledged herein previously. But let's get something straight: The cops—like the news media—were ignorant of the woman's backstory. I'm betting that many on scene weren't even aware that she had a baby girl in the car. And even if they had known of the woman's illness, I fail to see how it would have made a damned bit of difference in the situation's resolution given the immediacy of the moment.
The simple fact is that D.C.'s finest—like all officers—don't have the luxury of shooting only those who are wholly lucid of the crimes they're commiting. If they did, I can think of more deserving targets in their jurisdiction.
Ironically, had the news media carried live footage of the incident in its entirety, there might well have been less judgment being passed on the matter. Indeed, if it didn't put me in the role of hypocrite, I would have wished that such coverage had been in play.
Which brings me to something else that continues to piss me off: The continuing practice of news media to stream live shots of officers descending upon houses conducting searches and search warrant services.
One would have thought that the news media—for all its protestations of harms incurred at the hands of police—might have adopted some form of its own Hippocratic oath by now. That it would swear to avoid putting cops and citizens in danger.
But the same thing that helped get a Portland, Ore., officer killed and two others wounded in 1998—a suspect inside a house who followed police movements by watching live coverage from news helicopters that hovered overhead—continues to be observed 15 years later. And this includes announcements of officers getting ready to set up spike strips during pursuits. I wish that someone would pass some legislation or see to it that these people who'll break a sweat if someone says "shit" live on the air are held criminally or civilly responsible if someone is killed live on the air because of their damn cameras.
And while I am still not sure of what to make of the whole Hannah Anderson kidnapping ordeal, I am inclined to give the girl the benefit of the doubt; certainly I was while her plight was still in question. And yet the news media was putting out updates based upon comments given by her girlfriends who claimed that she had been "creeped out" by her kidnapper well before she was taken. Had the kidnapper heard such coverage, might the girl's life been put at additional peril? Hmmmm…
But I nonetheless find my outrage dialed back a bit when I think about our in-house absurdities.
Recently, I heard of a commissioner who bought new TASERs for his field units amid much media coverage that played up what a great tool it was and how it would enhance officer safety. But then some risk management type bent his ear and suddenly there was only one TASER available to be deployed in the field at any given time, and it had to be under a field sergeant's control until needed (I'm guessing they're getting everyone on board with that Vulcan nerve pinch thing to compensate). The commissioner's justification was that the "NYPD only allows the sergeants to have it, if it is good enough for them it is good enough for us." Really? If so, shame on this department. And shame on any other that would keep such a tool out of the hands of those most in need of it.
Of course, sometimes I wonder if administrators don't have some justifiable concerns. For instances, did that cop really marinate a pizza with pepper spray? Are there really ex-cops who feel the need to act as loan sharks? And what the hell was that NYPD detective doing with that group of bikers that attacked that family in New York? These officers and former officers sure as hell weren't stepping up to the plate to do the right thing. Shame on their sorry asses.
Such acts of idiocy make it really hard for us to take the high road and take others to task for their own screw-ups, particularly those that inhibit us from doing our jobs at all, let alone safely.
Should you see a peer going down a path he shouldn't, I really hope to God that you will slap him upside the head before someone else does so with a .45 caliber bullet. You'll be doing the two of you a favor.
Not to mention a profession that could really use one.

Thanks. Your commentary is certainly appreciated. So what's the issue with the media? When is "creating" excitement and intensity in the stories they report more important than accuracy and perhaps stating the issues from the viewpoint from inside the squad car? Reporters should be required to spend 30 days on patrol - inside the squad car, on the street - before they can write about what it's like working out there, serving and protecting Lord knows who.
tedb @ 10/10/2013 3:54 PM
Dean, quit beating around the bush and tell us how you REALLY feel about it. Good job, as usual and I agree whole-heartedly.
Allie @ 10/10/2013 9:16 PM
Well said!! So many things that have gone through my head over the years, but PC has filtered before it hit my tongue. Thank you!!!
Arby @ 10/11/2013 5:01 AM
Great article, Dean! I remember working an incident one night while at another department. I'm reading the paper the next day and thinking, "Wow- we had TWO of these in the same night?" Then I get to the part where they report the location and I see that was the incident I was at, but their "facts" were hardly close to what had happened. It was then I knew how our local paper there earned the reputation that their slogan was "Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story." Then again, I sadly have to agree with your points about administrator's justifiable concerns too. Ratz!
mtarte @ 10/12/2013 8:03 AM
Dean, as a retired cop and a former newspaper columnist, I know first hand some of the machinations that the print media (and I am sure the TV "news" media) does to ensure a story goes out first. That said, when I started my cop career in the Triassic era, the reporters I ran into had had real jobs before becoming reporters. They knew how government worked, they had built houses, handled big rigs or had served in the Army. These days, reporters seem to go from high school newspapers, to J-schools to print (or worse, TV) reporters without ever stopping at real life along the way. That cripples their ability to truly report facts as they should be reported and we are left with people who report on stories with their "experience" confined to moldy journalism professors recounting their glory days and really nothing else. When cops screw up we get rid of most of them that deserve to be gone. Reporters who screw up usually get a Pulitzer and become an editor.
Doug Cummings @ 10/12/2013 2:45 PM
I spent eight years as a LEO before thirty as a broadcaster. I've covered LE agencies of every size during every type of story. I've taught media relations to cops and cop relations to reporters. Interestingly, the cops mostly listened. The reporters seldom did. I agree with much of what you've written. Here are some unfortunate but true facts from the other side. Reporters want "a" story. Period. If the official version isn't available by the reporter's deadline, they'll report what they observe or what "witnesses" tell them. A story at 10pm won't wait for the PIO at 8am. Media bosses feel cop stories are so easy, anyone can cover them. Shrinking staffs mean reporters aren't allowed to spend hours at the cop shop. As result, their knowledge of police work and tactics comes from (a) TV and (b) the bias of colleagues. Editors and producers often direct story coverage. They seldom leave the office. Finally, smart cops don't blast reporters. They take time and train them. It pays off.

It's Time to Indict Cheney!
Tue, 19 May 2009 19:44:30 +0000 – By Lanny DavisAttorney/Former White House Special Counsel
I have written many times in this space that I oppose any criminal prosecution of prior-administration officials on torture or other issues relating to the Iraq War and the war on terrorism, especially those CIA interrogators who relied in good faith on the instructions of policymakers and the legal opinions issued by Justice Department senior officials.
I have agreed with President Obama on the need to look forward, not backward.
But I have changed my mind about the need to indict former Vice President Dick Cheney for complicity in illegal torture.
His insistence on putting himself on multiple TV programs and conservative radio talk shows, not only defending torture but offering the defense that it worked, has changed my mind.
Not only that -- he went on to attack Mr. Obama as weakening the United States in the war on terrorism because Mr. Obama immediately announced that torture would no longer be allowed.
Them's fighting words. They are also, in my view, reckless and irresponsible.
They seem to be laying down a marker that in case, God forbid, there is a terrorist attack, Mr. Cheney can be the first to blame it on Mr. Obama's policies and say, "I told you so."
Even more, they seem to be an in-your-face dare by Mr. Cheney to the U.S. criminal justice system: "I am Dick Cheney, I approved violations of the law in the name of the war on terror, and what are you going to do about it?"
It reminds me of Gary Hart's reaction in the early days of his 1988 presidential campaign to the rumors of his womanizing. Mr. Hart denied the charge and then dared the media to catch him. Well, they took him up on his dare (specifically, the Miami Herald did). And they caught him at least in a compromising situation that led to his withdrawal from the campaign.
So as to Mr. Cheney: I think it is time to take him up on his implicit dare and indict him for violating the 1994 federal law against torture.
Not to do so, in light of Mr. Cheney's arrogant public challenges, may reinforce the notion that Mr. Cheney can get away with lawbreaking, and be proud of it, because he is a former vice president, and because he is the tough, intimidating Dick Cheney who everyone (at least many) in the Bush administration feared.
So I think it's important to take Mr. Cheney up on his challenge, despite all the disadvantages that had led me to oppose prosecutions of the former administration.
Here is what the indictment of Mr. Cheney would look like; it's not that complicated.
First, as to the law: The 1994 federal law making torture illegal defines torture as "any act that causes severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, intentionally inflicted on a person for such purpose as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession."
The two top officials at the Office of Legal Counsel Jay S. Bybee (who is now a judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals) and John Yoo, now a professor at the University of California at Berkeley Law School tried in 2002 to "reinterpret" the term "severe pain" out of existence by requiring a torture victim to feel pain "equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death."
But their colleagues at Justice, not only at the OLC, but also the Criminal Division, repudiated their legal gymnastics and restated the definition of torture plainly set forth in the 1994 federal law and the Convention Against Torture. For this and other reasons, both Mr. Yoo and Mr. Bybee should at the very least be investigated for ethical violations and possible disbarment.
Second, as to the facts here is what we know or have good reason to believe:
- We know that waterboarding was intentionally used against detainees to obtain information.
- We know that waterboarding causes "severe pain or suffering." It involves strapping a man to an inclined board with his head below his feet, wrapping a cloth across his face, and pouring water into his nostrils and mouth, which convinces the victim that he faces imminent death by drowning. It has been used as torture from the Inquisition to Nazi Germany, and was prosecuted as a war crime after World War II.
- Finally, there is strong circumstantial evidence that Mr. Cheney knew waterboarding was being used against detainees, that he expressly approved its use, or that he actually directed interrogators to use it. If any of these are true, then Mr. Cheney could be guilty under U.S. laws of being a co-conspirator or an accessory to a crime.
Many people still think, and I was among them until recently, that it would be better not to put the country through the divisive and backward-looking experience of seeing a former vice president on trial for crimes committed while in office. But given Mr. Cheney's decision to publicly attack the president on the subject, perhaps we have no choice but to take Mr. Cheney up on his challenge.
I am hoping that in the final analysis, the case of the People vs. Dick Cheney will provide all Americans with an opportunity to answer the vital question as to whether a democratic society based on moral values should defend the use of torture, even if at times it successfully obtains important information from a terrorist.
I am hoping our answer as a nation will be similar to the eloquent one provided by Israeli Supreme Court President Aharon Barak regarding the use of torture by the Israeli Security Services:
"This is the destiny of democracy, as not all means are acceptable to it, and not all practices employed by its enemies are open before it. Although a democracy must often fight with one hand tied behind its back, it nonetheless has the upper hand. Preserving the Rule of Law and recognition of an individual's liberty constitutes an important component in its understanding of security. At the end of the day, they strengthen its spirit and its strength and allow it to overcome its difficulties."
Lanny J. Davis, a Washington lawyer and former special counsel to President Clinton, served as a member of President George W. Bush's Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. He is the author of "Scandal: How 'Gotcha' Politics Is Destroying America."
This article appeared in Mr. Davis's weekly column, "Purple Nation," in the Washington Times on Monday, May 18, 2009.

More Abominable?
Are there more Bigfeet tromping our way? That seems to be the case -- Schifrin tells CHUD that veteran comic writer and G.I. JOE consultant Larry Hama is working on the script for the sequel. Hama currently co-writes Schifrin's comic SPOOKS, about a secret team of monster-hunters. No further details were given about ABOMINABLE 2, but considering Hama's expertise with writing paramilitary units, one can envision a soldiers vs. Sasquatches scenario.
The original REAR WINDOW-esque cheapie stars Matt McCoy (THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE) as a paralyzed man living in a secluded cabin. Jeffrey Combs (every B-horror movie), Dee Wallace-Stone (almost every other B-horror movie), Lance Henriksen (the rest of them), Paul Gleason (DIE HARD's Deputy Chief Dwayne T. Robinson), some nubile college students and one huge, pissed-off and extremely hairy beast of myth also make appearances.UPDATE: Jeffrey Combs will be returning for the sequel (with a few scars), and will be a main character. There are a few more details at his official website, including confirmation that the follow-up will contain a "military component" in the vein of PREDATOR or ALIENS. Sweet. Thanks to 'Blogstress' for the tip!
|Extra Tidbit:
|ABOMINABLE contains the best face-biting scene in recent history.

"We cut the heat to see if we can lower our carbon footprint. We let pupils wear as many jumpers as they liked. Everyone seemed happy enough, although it did get pretty chilly. We sent letters to parents telling them of the plan. We had only one complaint and that was from a member of staff. But in the end they just got on with it. We have too much heating."Whether the heating they have is "too much" seems subjective. Clearly, Mr. Benzie is not as aware of the effects of his program as he gives himself credit for:
One teacher called it "beyond stupid" and added: "I've never worked in such cold. I'm all for saving the planet, but this was barbaric. It was absolutely ridiculous.Barbaric? No, I don't think so. Asinine... now there's a word for you.
"Nobody could work properly and kids could not even grip a pen through their gloves" said the mum of a 12-year-old. "She was shaking when she came home. I was absolutely furious."Mr. Benzie, however, defended the experiment, vowing to stage further such "eco-days" on a regular basis. The first eco-day turned out to register as the coldest day of the winter so far. The school's actions effected no change upon the global climate. However, the school kids did gain an appreciation for the achievements of one Ernest Shackleton.
A dad added: "Turning the heating off in December is just mental. I can't believe the kids learnt anything. I'm very angry with the school."

You have presumably looked up Men's fashion tips, and yet all you find are ways to spend thousand of dollars on one suit. Yet, dressing sharp does not mean you have to spend absurdly on attire and apparel embellishments which won't work for you. Once you know how to dress sharp, you will likewise see that after some time you spend less cash on garments since you evade overrated design patterns and stay with the works of art. Young men must quit dressing like old young men. One tip is to avoid white socks with dark shoes.
Tips for Dressing Your Age
The ways to dress sharply are dependent upon your appearance. On the off chance that you wear garments that are connected with youngsters, then your age and development will be seen to be much lower than what they should be. In case you wish to be able to dress sharp as a young man, consider: Khaki trousers not freight shorts. Loafers not shoes. Saddle shoes do not exercise center shoes. Polo shirts not shirts. Dark socks not white socks.
Fleece trousers not warm up pants. Sew sweaters not sweatshirts. Fedoras not baseball caps. Fitted pants not loose pants. Fleece jackets do not ski coats. On the other hand, in the event that you need to dress sharp, you should also not go overboard with the young look. Quit dressing like a kid. This is may be an essential tip. Continuously think age movement. Development and dressing sharp is to be ahead of your age. All in all, the key to dressing sharp as a man is to dress your age. Do not become too old or too young with the clothes you wear. In case you are able to follow that basic tip, you can dress sharp without having to spend too much cash.

San Diego Police Department
Committed to solving problems through community partnerships, the San Diego Police Department works with government agencies, private groups and individuals to fight crime and improve the quality of life for all San Diegans. Values-based policing underlies the management and operation of the Department, expressing: Protection of human life as the highest priority, treating all persons with dignity and respect, and recognizing that diversity brings strength and valuable knowledge.
Maintaining peace and order by providing the highest quality police services in response to community needs is the mission of the Police Department. The Department has developed several operational programs and initiatives which have the capability to substantially expand and strengthen its work. Each program and initiative offers a unique philanthropic opportunity to partner with the Department in fulfilling its commitments to the community.
Charitable Partnering Opportunities
Helicopter: $3,250,000
An aerial view combined with technologies like infrared cameras is essential in locating suspects who are hiding or fleeing, missing children and lost seniors. As part of the regional disaster preparedness/terrorism response, the Department's air support capability plays an integral role in this community system.
K-9 Retiree Program: $115,000 Annually
This Program enables the Department's Canine Unit to quickly replace retiring police service dogs with new dogs at the rate of approximately 5-10 dogs per year. The animals can provide these services only until they are approximately 8-1/2 years of age.
Regional Law Enforcement Education - Video Equipment: $75,000
Police personnel require continuing law enforcement education and training. Changes in the law, safety issues and more must be adhered to and practiced. Equipment essential to maintaining a high level of readiness and knowledge must be regularly updated and replaced. Digital photography and editing technology is required to replace equipment that is no longer capable of meeting the Department's education and training priorities.
Volunteer Services Program: $750,000
San Diegans annually provide services valued at more than $3,000,000. "You Are Not Alone" residence checks, crisis counseling, child fingerprinting are only a few of the important volunteer services provided through the Department. Creating a new and dedicated endowment would generate valuable income to support training, purchase of necessary equipment and operational support for this Program.
