I'm back from almost a month in New Zealand – first performing and then wandering around with Debbie. We had a great time.
When we reached Wellington, we had a nice dinner with a bunch of interesting people, organized by storyteller Judith Jones and her husband Tony. Among the great people we met that night was Anna Bailey, a puppeteer.
The next morning, at the farmer's market on the Wellington waterfront, we sat on a bench and watched Anna give one of her shows, standing in front of an electrical junction box to shield her small stage from the gusts of wind swirling around the harbor. Children, mostly under seven or eight, sat on the pavement in front of her, with adults in a wider circle. Shoppers walked through her performance area, seemingly oblivious to the drama being acted out before them of a fisherman who catches a mermaid, then goes on a dance through the sea with her. The piece was about ten minutes long – no words, with recorded music providing backdrop. The piece, as many marionette shows are, was very lyrical and dream-like. There was a distinct narrative line, but it was up to the audience's imagination to define that line – with no language, it was not explicit but implicit. At one point, she did roam the audience with her puppet, interacting with individual audience members, but mostly, Anna's focus was inward, trusting the audience to come into her world, and not feeling compelled to go out and capture them, . She let the work speak for itself. Those of us who have done street performing know that there's a choice you make about how you draw an audience to your performance – Anna, as seems to fit her personality, doesn't seek an audience, she lets it come to her. I would say there were about fifteen of us who stayed through the whole piece. She had a little hat at the edge of the velvet blanket that served as the definition of the stage – people dropped coins in. I'd guess she made about $30 for her work.
Watching the show, looking at the venue, and thinking about the economics of the whole thing, got me thinking about the vagaries of being an artist. Anna's work (String Bean Puppets) is not a get-rich-quick scheme. She is not very commercial – and my sense is that at this point in her work, she's not interested in being commercial. Her work is small, not in the sense of importance, but in the scale that it works on – how many people it will reach, how much she earns, and how well known she would become doing it.
But really, most art is small. A good number of artists will, consciously or unconsciously, make sure it stays that way for them, either through eschewing commercial success, or happily shooting themselves in the foot if it gets near. (Believe me, I know…)And while some art deserves a bigger stage than it has, there is a lot of art that is about intimacy and the people in front of you at that moment Even the ones wandering by with a bag of leeks. Anna's puppets are not large, and if the audience were more than a hundred people, something would be lost. Keeping it small is one way to insure a connection. Using a Jumbotron so that the people in the back of the stadium could see the mermaid dance would make it a vicarious experience. I suppose that television has the paradoxical opportunity to make it intimate – it's just one person watching something shot in close-up. But the live performance is at the heart of it, and that, it seems to me, is destined to remain small.
So why do artists do it? The short answer is because they have to. They can't help themselves. It gives their lives meaning. This causes havoc when you depend on it for your daily bread. As Lewis Hyde points out in his great book, The Gift, artists have a hard time living in a commodity culture in which you have to determine your worth and drive a bargain. Most artists first want to do their work, and will do it even if they aren't getting paid well.
I'm thinking these things as both of my sons, Noah and Dylan, are trying to find where music fits in their lives, and have an ambivalence about the role of the market place in their art. Well, I still wrestle with that, too. I've often thought that some things I do for love, and some for money, and I'm just trying to get them to be a little bit closer to each other.
But like I said, a lot of really good art is small, and it helps to know that and still see its value; it's still worth doing.

"Jiffy 7" Pellet - 1 pelletCompressed peat that expands when water is added. Used for seed starting and cuttings.Jiffy pellets expand after you place them in water or nutrient solutions and are held together with a thin netting material. Used for seedlings and cuttings. Watch out though, they are made from peat moss and your pH will lower. Not good in hydroponic systems because of that very reason. Although, I have heard of hydro people using them to counter alkaline water and were very happy.
Please order in increments of 12 or 25.

Round 1
Well, I sent out all of my fabric for the swap on Friday. I'm hoping that this post goes up before you receive the fabric, because I was too rushed to include a little note or instructions.
I've sent out a collection of red, black and white printed and solid fabric. The red fabric is from various Alexander Henry collections and the black and white fabrics are from my stash. I added the houndstooth and damask fabric at the last minute because the solid red fabric I had bought wasn't quite matching all of the reds in the printed fabric.
I'm planning on using this quilt in our guest bedroom, so this will eventually become a full sized quilt to go on the guest bed. I will be repainting the room this month (I have an accidental red, blue and white thing going on right now, and I'm not such a fan of the color scheme). Right now, the furniture in the room is all black and the artwork is mostly red and black. I'll be painting the walls a light brown/beige color. In my head, the warmth of the walls will balance out the starkness of a red/white/black quilt. We'll see how that goes!
So, as for the instructions...I'd love for you all to make a 10" to 11" square that is made up of rectangles or squares. This means that anything that is striped, log cabin-y, box-y or wonky works for me. It's pretty much up to you. I'm going to be assembling the quilt somewhat like this diagram, with most of the quilt being white and then a section of the black and red blocks that you'll be making. I have some leftover scraps, so I might add some more patchwork into the colorful strip on the quilt. I'll play with that once I have all of the blocks together.
Melissa wanted me to share a little bit about how I plan out quilt projects so that I know that I have enough fabric together. I have sort of tried this before and it helps. (But, bear in mind that this is coming from the girl who never knows what the exact final size will be because she always ends up having to lop off a side because the whole project turned out crooked!) I usually check out the joanns.com website to see the size of batting I will be using and then sketch out the quilt, measure the dimensions and then try to lay out the pieces on the fabric I'm going to be using. Then I convert these measurements to the common fabric sizing that they have (changing inches to yards and making sure that most pieces fall into the 40-44" fabric width).
For this quilt, I'm planning on the final size being 90" x 90." So, I'm guessing that the final strip in the middle will be about 30"x90", the top white strip will be 20"x90" and the bottom white panel will be 40"x90." So, I'll be buying 5 yards of 40" wide fabric (90" x 2 for top and bottom = 180"/36" per yard = 5 yards). I can use the extra white fabric for sashing around the quilt blocks.
Here's a flickr mosaic of inspiring quilting patterns that are appealing to me. Feel free to base your design on something you see here or on something completely different! I can't wait to see what you all come up with. If you have any questions, let me know : ) Oh, and feel free to add in any fabric that you have if you like, although I'm totally not expecting you to do so. I hope I included enough fabric for one square.

[Page 53 Continued] Dr. F., Ned T. + Kearney went ashore on St. Matthews Id. at 4 A.M. of the 15th while Dr. F. took up his traps set the night before. On the way to shore I, sitting "at watch" in the bow, saw a couple of gulls which made me say "there are Bonaparte's Gulls here," + Dr. F. said "Pot that, it's a Sabine" -- so I did, + it was. [Page 54]He also got one, + about 6 others were seen.
This was the only bird we got which hadn't been taken at Hall -- the Snowflake was found very common, tho not recorded from here before as more than "probably" There was a fine puffin colony on St. M. with both puffins fully represented, tho they kept pretty distinct in their colonies. Following is the list of birds seen at Hall + Matthews Id's. --

text: An important difference between SQL Server 2000 (64-bit) and SQL Server 2000 (32-bit) is the way the two versions manage memory. SQL Server 2000 (64-bit) can address up to 512GB of memory on Windows Server 2003. In 64-bit, SQL Server can access all this memory directly through a "flat" virtual-memory address space (unlike in AWE, as I explain in a moment). Thus all the SQL Server components that use memory—including database page cache, plan cache, workspace memory, and locks—can use the additional memory on 64-bit systems. In contrast, SQL Server 2000 (32-bit) virtual memory is limited to 3GB if you use the /3GB switch in boot.ini or 2GB without the switch. SQL Server 2000 (32-bit) can access as much as 32GB of memory, but it has to use Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) to access any memory it needs beyond the virtual memory limit. AWE is a set of APIs in Windows that lets a process map physical memory in and out of the process' virtual address space. The important point to note about how SQL Server uses AWE memory is that only the database page cache (i.e., data and index pages) can utilize physical memory outside the virtual memory of the process. All the other uses of memory—including plan cache, query workspace memory, locks, and other structures such as user connections, cursors, and space used by utilities such as backup and restore—are limited to the virtual address space. Therefore, if your SQL Server application faces memory pressure in these parts of the system, adding additional memory beyond 3GB on 32-bit systems might yield only limited benefits. In such cases, you might consider migrating to a 64-bit system. 64-bit systems have proven especially effective in handling data warehousing and large enterprise resource planning (ERP) workloads. For more information about the potential advantages of SQL Server (64-bit), see the Microsoft white paper "SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition (64-bit): Advantages of a 64-Bit Environment" at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/64bit/productinfo/SQL64bitAdvantages.asp. For more information about configuring AWE memory with SQL Server, see the Microsoft article "How To Configure Memory for More Than 2GB in SQL Server" at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;274750.

Chris Vein began studying the impact of information technology on the environment after seeing Al Gore speak at a World Environment Day conference in 2005. Soon after, the CIO for the city and county of San Francisco learned an inconvenient truth about IT: Approximately 2 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions are related to manufacturing, distribution and use of information and communications technology, according to research firm Gartner.
"I started realizing that as head of a large technology department, there are things I could do," Vein said. "When I became CIO, I decided green IT initiatives would be one of the core projects of my tenure."
With backing from San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, the city in 2006 became part of the Connected Urban Development Initiative sponsored by Cisco Systems. The networking giant is committing $15 million over five years to offer expertise, equipment and research to Seoul, South Korea; Amsterdam, Netherlands; and San Francisco to measure the environmental impact of IT infrastructure and take steps to reduce the pollution footprint.
Vein's first job is taking an inventory of the city's IT infrastructure as a base line, so he and his staff can assess the impact of potential changes.
"We CIOs are very good at starting projects like this without beginning and end points to determine whether we have been successful or not," Vein said. "We were already doing an inventory of what and where our equipment is, so we decided to take the next step and try to estimate what energy it's consuming."
The city and county of San Francisco also needs a new data center, and Vein is studying what it will take to design one. "We're working with consultants who understand green IT to help us understand the pitfalls and trade-offs. It's important to find good partners," he said. "You have to delve below the glossy brochures and really look at the numbers."
Still Lacking Urgency
Few public-sector CIOs are as proactive as Vein on green IT initiatives. Some IT executives haven't put a high priority on environmental concerns - unless political leaders in their jurisdictions are vocal proponents of change. In many public-sector settings, CIOs are being nudged toward green IT initiatives by sustainability teams and environmental departments that include electronics equipment in larger waste-reduction efforts.
Energy and pollution concerns - especially in fast-growing data centers - have taken on a higher profile recently. A 50,000-square-foot data center uses approximately 4 megawatts of power, or the equivalent of 57 barrels of oil a day, according to Sun Microsystems.
Energy efficiency is about the environment; it's also about saving money. Many organizations are cutting costs and energy consumption by consolidating data centers through server virtualization (see Virtually Served), which can allow data centers to cut back from 50 servers operating at only 10 percent efficiency to five servers running at 80 percent efficiency. Virtualization software vendor VMware suggests the energy cost savings of virtualization can be approximately $500 to $600 per server each year.
Despite the prospect of savings - to the bottom line and for the environment - some CIOs are reluctant to push green IT.
The level of concern about a data center's energy use may depend upon a CIO's duties, said Drue Reeves, vice president and research director for data center strategies at the Midvale, Utah-based Burton Group. In some cases, the IT department is totally unaware of energy costs. "If the CIO doesn't have any responsibility for facilities, there still may be a disconnect," Reeves said, "but many are responsible for building out new data centers, and energy is their No. 1 concern."
Larry Goldenhersh, president and CEO of Enviance Inc., a company in Carlsbad, Calif., that helps power companies measure and report greenhouse gas emissions, said the eventual imposition of taxes or cap-and-trade models on carbon output will get people's attention.
"If you have a data center churning out a ton of carbon a year and there's a way to get that number significantly down, people who are not worried about it now will be in a full-on panic later," he said.
The private sector is starting to look at this issue in terms of how it will affect the balance sheet, he said. "Government is slightly different, but those CIOs will start getting pressure if a governor or mayor is told they will take a $10 million hit."
The industry has responded to these concerns with more energy-efficient products, conferences and new organizations such as the Green Grid, a consortium of companies working on data center energy issues. Some CIOs, though, are wary the label "green IT" is being hyped by consulting firms and equipment vendors as a way to push new products and services.
"There is little sense of selling Popsicles to Eskimos," Reeves said. Some companies are taking products they already sell and remarketing them as good for the environment. "Tape [backup storage systems] is the greenest product ever," he said, "because it just sits there on the shelf."
Governors' Commitment
Like Vein in San Francisco, Minnesota CIO Gopal Khanna has strong executive sponsorship for green IT efforts.
As chair of the National Governors Association (NGA), Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced in November 2007 an NGA partnership with the Climate Savers Computing Initiative founded by Google and Intel Corp. to spur deployment of more energy-efficient computers and servers in state offices and agencies. The stated goal of the partnership is a 50 percent reduction in energy consumption by state-owned computing equipment over the next four years.
"Thinking green is not a new subject in Minnesota," Khanna said. For instance, Minnesota is No. 4 among all states in wind energy production and is a leader in using ethanol. The state set a goal of 20 percent renewable energy use by 2020, so Khanna said he sees green IT as a natural extension of Pawlenty's emphasis on energy independence and conservation.
In 2005, Minnesota started developing standards for hardware acquisition. Part of that platform is energy utilization.
All desktop computers purchased by the state's executive branch comply with Energy Star 4.0, the latest specification adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). "As desktop computers are refreshed throughout state government," Khanna said, "we will become increasingly compliant and will continue to monitor and update our standards on an ongoing basis."
On the data center side, Minnesota is in the early stages of a data center consolidation business plan. The state seeks to measure savings from any potential consolidation, with security and better energy utilization as top priorities.
Khanna also set up an interdepartmental work team to develop a clear, green-IT blueprint for the state government. "We want to take a holistic view," he explained. "It's not just desktops or the data centers; it's all of our IT assets we want to consider."
Rating the Computers
On the procurement side, an increasing number of CIOs are turning to EPEAT, the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool. The system was launched in 2006 by the Green Electronics Council to rate desktops, laptops and computer monitors based on environmental attributes such as reduction or elimination of environmentally sensitive materials, end-of-life design, energy conservation and packaging.
Like the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) designation used to rate green building projects, EPEAT assigns gold, silver and bronze ratings to products based on their rankings.
In 2007, Phoenix won a Green Electronics Champion Award from the EPA for its program to limit computer purchases to products that meet the EPEAT silver standard.
By purchasing 3,253 EPEAT silver computers and 247 notebook computers, the city estimates it saved enough electricity to power 238 households annually, lowered greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing 168 cars from the road per year, reduced 8.6 tons of hazardous waste, and avoided 538 pounds of toxic materials.
According to Charles Thompson, Phoenix's CIO, the focus on green purchasing was a collective effort between the city's Environmental Programs Office, Information Technology, and Finance departments.
"Our team researched the three levels and chose silver because the options at gold were somewhat reduced," Thompson said, "but we will start to push vendors through our procurements and RFPs to go for gold in the next few years."
EPEAT is also catching on at the federal level. The U.S. Department of Energy headquarters created an electronics stewardship "green team" that includes executives from the Office of the CIO. It requires EPEAT registration for desktop hardware and at least the EPEAT silver standard for notebook computers. The Energy Department also implemented after-hours shutdown of noncritical electronics equipment in coordination with network security officials.
Thompson believes it is important for public-sector technology executives to take the lead on environmental issues. "The private sector will move when it makes sense from a revenue and profit motive," he said. "The public sector has a two-pronged approach - gaining efficiencies and in its role as a public steward of resources."
He also thinks IT can help the Phoenix facilities department with technology solutions involving fleet management and intelligent building monitoring. The city is also considering alternative work schedules and telecommuting. "IT may be able to support all these efforts," Thompson said. "We have a sustainability subcommittee that will definitely be looking at how IT can be part of the solution."
Both San Francisco's Vein and Minnesota's Khanna said the fact that their bosses are vocal about energy conservation sets the tone and allows them to feel confident pursuing a green IT agenda. But Khanna adds that after speaking to colleagues at the most recent conference of state CIOs, "It was loud and clear that green IT was on all of our minds. And I think the CIOs' attention will have an impact on the vendor community to respond in ways that will be beneficial for everyone."

5 Interview Types and How to Ace Them
Tania Khadder
2. The Behavioral Interview
What Is It?
The behavioral interview assumes that the most accurate indicator of future success is past performance in a similar situation. The interviewer will have in mind a set of skills they're looking for in a candidate, and will assess whether or not you have said skills based on how you've demonstrated them in the past.
So instead of asking more general questions, like "Why do you want to work in this industry?", someone conducting a behavioral interview will say "Give an example of when you faced XYZ situation." Once you've answered the initial question, they'll probe further, asking you how you felt, what you said, what you did and what the final outcome was.
How to Ace It
The behavioral interview is growing more and more common, so it's essential you learn how to prepare for it.
At first, it may seem an impossible task. After all, there's no telling what specific scenarios an interviewer might ask you to describe. But don't fret. By preparing – in detail – a few stories from your professional experience, you can likely adapt one of them to any question they throw at you. Think of instances where you overcame a challenge, performed memorably, and motivated yourself and others.
For each story, be prepared to address the following points:
• The situation
• What actions you took
• How it made you feel
• What you learned
And the more familiar you are with the job description, the better your chances for success. By looking at what qualities they're looking for in a candidate, you may be able to predict what type of questions they'll ask.
Whatever you do, don't lie or give an overly vague response. Behavioral interviews are especially useful at exposing made-up answers – which is one reason employers like them. Make sure you know what you're talking about and that you're ready to provide more detail if necessary.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A Sinai-based Al Qaeda-linked militant group says that four of its fighters were killed in an Israeli air strike inside Egyptian territory over the weekend.
The Egyptian military has for weeks been conducting extensive operations against terror groups using Sinai as a base of operations. But the group Ansar Jerusalem said Friday's attack on one of its strongholds was different because it was carried out by an unmanned Israeli drone.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon failed to explicitly deny the claim, but did say that "Israel respects the sovereignty of Egypt" and that the Jewish state would "not allow rumors and speculations...to harm the peace treaty between our two countries."
Other Israeli officials declined to comment on the reports.
Over the weekend, Egyptian forces killed dozens of militants in Sinai, and destroyed a large number of smuggling tunnels running under the border into Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Egyptian officials said that Israel had not violated Egypt's airspace, and denied that the two countries were coordinated attacks on Sinai-based terrorists.

Creating a New Conversation About the American Dream
What is the American Dream? What do we need to help more Americans achieve it? Does the way we talk and think about the Dream hinder our ability to achieve it? The Invisible Dream, a partnership between Public Agenda and the GALEWiLL Center for Opportunity & Progress, aims to facilitate a more nuanced national dialogue around the American Dream and injects the public's voice into the conversation about this important topic. Through focus groups around the country and a national survey of over 2000 respondents, we listened to what Americans had to say about the Dream. Our research suggests that Americans, regardless of political party, race, gender, income and education, have a strong consensus on the things that are absolutely essential to achieving the dream: a strong work ethic, parents or other adults who instill values, and a good education. At the same time, Americans are torn on the role government and communities should play in helping more Americans achieve the Dream, as well as whether people with good values and a strong work ethic have access to the Dream.

Story highlights
- A snowmobiler is fatally injured during competition
- Questions are raised over risks
- ESPN says it has worked to ensure athlete and spectator safety
The death of Caleb Moore is shining a spotlight on growing concerns over safety in extreme sports.
The freestyle snowmobiler, attempting a backflip last week at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado, couldn't rotate his machine enough to land the maneuver. The skis dug into the lip of the slope, bringing the 450-pound snowmobile crashing down on him. The vehicle slammed into Moore's head and chest.
After initially diagnosing Moore, 25, with a concussion after Thursday's accident, doctors soon discovered bleeding around his heart.
He had emergency surgery at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction on Friday, a day after the accident. He had brain complications, and his family issued a statement saying he was in critical condition and being closely monitored.
On Thursday, a week after the accident, Moore died.
The combination of quirky, hair-raising events that make up the X Games were once pushed to the distant margins of televised sports. But in recent years, some have been added to both Summer and Winter Olympic slates.
"They do train all year for this," said Dr. Christine Trankiem, a trauma surgeon at Medstar Washington Hospital Center. "But it's important for the folks watching at home to realize that these acts, while exciting to watch, are potentially life-threatening, limb-threatening and brain-threatening acts if an accident should occur."
Moore's injury was one of several at this year's Winter X Games. His younger brother, Colten, suffered a separated pelvis in the same event. Freestyle skier Rose Battersby, a New Zealander, incurred a spinal fracture, and Icelandic snowboarder Halldor Helgason suffered a concussion.
Sebastian Landry, a filmmaker who specialized in snowmobile features, told the New York Times last year that injuries in the sport made him lose interest in filming.
"It seemed like every time we went to the mountains somebody went to the hospital," Landry told the Times. "Kids get stars in their eyes and just want to go for it. That, plus being raised with the motor-head mentality where it's all or nothing."
It's not just the athletes who appear to be at risk.
During one of the jumps on Sunday night, Australian Jack Strong was attempting a backflip on his machine when it got away from him. The runaway snowmobile crashed into a bank of fans. A young boy who hit his knee on a parked vehicle while trying to get away was evaluated and released; other spectators avoided injury. Strong was not seriously injured.
ESPN, which organizes and televises the X Games, says it is constantly working to ensure the safety of competitors.
On Thursday, the network said it was deeply saddened by his death. "As a result of this accident we will conduct a thorough review of this discipline and adopt any appropriate changes to future X Games," ESPN said in a statement, adding that Moore was "a four-time X Games medalist who fell short on his rotation on a move he has landed several times previously."
ESPN says the safety of fans is also a priority.
"We've worked closely with athletes, risk management specialists, sport organizers and event managers to ensure the safest possible conditions for athletes and spectators alike. Further measures are constantly being evaluated to ensure the safest possible experience for spectators," the network said in an earlier statement.
One thing spectators won't experience: a drop-off of the X Games.
ESPN says it is expanding the Summer X Games to Munich, Germany; Barcelona, Spain; Foz do Iguacu, Brazil; and Los Angeles. The Winter X Games were expanded this year to include Aspen and Tignes, France.
"This is something that is truly valuable for sponsors, for ESPN, in terms of generating tens of millions of dollars of revenue, in terms of subscriber fees and advertising sales," said Lee Berke, president and CEO of LHB Sports, Entertainment & Media Inc.
Berke said that while ESPN did not win the U.S. rights to televise the Olympics, "they've gone about making the X Games their own Olympics."

The special all-nighter will feature a specifically chosen line-up including performances from Caribou, James Holden, Nathan Fake, Rocketnumbernine with more acts to be announced, alongside a live set from Four Tet.
Full details are as follows:
Friday 19th November, 2010 21.00
The Coronet, 28 New Kent Road, London, SE1 6TJ. 020 7701 1500
Eat Your Own Ears and Four Tet presents
Tickets £15 from:
www.ticketweb.co.uk - 08444 771000
www.seetickets.com - 0870 264 3333
Information on the artists performing on the night:
CARIBOU: If you think you know Caribou, think again. Dan Snaith's new album is the sound of the musical glass ceiling being blown away. Swim is full of brightly textured, rapturous gems that gleam with astonishing production - and then wrenches at your heart with soulful, thoughtful reveries on the passing of time, family history and the breakdown of relationships. We can't think of another multi-instrumentalist/ producer/ songwriter/ singer/ arranger/ composer who has the ability to harness all these talents into something as breathtakingly gorgeous yet dance floor ready as Dan Snaith AKA Caribou. www.myspace.com/cariboumanitoba
DJ JAMES HOLDEN has managed to carve out a niche for himself that is all his own. The boy wonder with a maths degree from Oxford University honed his production and DJing craft in his student digs, with a £500 computer and some free software, and took the dance music world by storm in 1999 with the powerfully emotive 'Horizons' on Silver Planet. Although he has since moved on from the progressive sound that made his name, the haunting melodies of the genre can still be found twisting eerily in and out of the warped soundscapes of his more recent productions. Like his productions, James Holden's DJ sets draw in elements of house, electro, breakbeat, techno and genres that probably haven't even got a name. As far from 'minimal' as you could possible get, simply because there is so much to draw you into this weird and wonderful hazy musical world - James Holden is the man to get even the most jaded dance music aficionado excited about music again. http://www.myspace.com/iamtherealjamesholden
NATHAN FAKE is a James Holden protégé, creating innovative electronica, at the harsher end of the spectrum. Bringing to mind Aphex Twin, Nathan Fake has an ability to combine spine-tingling melodies with noise and feedback. His innate sense of what works on the dance floor provides the basis for a frantic and intense live show. http://www.myspace.com/nathancake
ROCKETNUMBERNINE are brothers Benjamin and Thomas Page. Their music is an intense, emotional sonic assault and all the while they're searching, seeking to find the deepest channel…With Ben calling on the deepest Detroit and Chicago influences and Tom conjuring the spirits of the great Jazz drummers, Rocketnumbernine arrive at an all consuming sound that is at once very much their own. Fresh from an acclaimed UK tour supporting Fourtet in March 2010, Rocket Number Nine will release a new album due for release on Gravid Hands label in June. http://www.myspace.com/rocketnumbernine
Press There Is Love In You

Pistorius trial moves into 7th week
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) - The Oscar Pistorius murder trial resumed Monday after a two-week recess, with the defense team calling its fourth witness in an attempt to bolster the double-amputee athlete's case that he killed his girlfriend by mistake last year.
The trial moved into its seventh week with testimony from Johan Stander, the first person Pistorius says he phoned after he shot Reeva Steenkamp at his home in the early hours of Feb. 14, 2013. Stander lived at the same gated community as Pistorius. Pistorius has said that Stander and his daughter were the first people to arrive on the scene after the shooting.
Stander's testimony follows a shaky start by Pistorius' defense, where the Olympian's story of an accidental killing came under scrutiny as he was cross-examined by the chief prosecutor. Two defense experts also had their evidence undermined by prosecutor Gerrie Nel at the start of the defense's case.
Pistorius is charged with premeditated murder for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet stall door in his bathroom before dawn on Valentine's Day last year. He claims he mistook his girlfriend for a dangerous intruder. The prosecution charges he killed her intentionally after an argument.
The 27-year-old Pistorius, a multiple Paralympic champion and the first amputee to run at the Olympics, faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted on the premeditated murder charge.
Stander testified Monday that he had known Pistorius since 2009 after moving into the same gated community in the South African capital, Pretoria. He said he received a panicked phone call from the world-famous runner at around 3:18 a.m. on the night of the fatal shooting.
"He (Pistorius) said on the call, 'Johan, please, please, please come to my house. Please. I shot Reeva,'" Stander testified. Stander said Pistorius told him on the call: "I thought she was in an intruder. Please come quick."
Stander then described what he said was Pistorius' "broken" state after he arrived at the runner's house to find him carrying his girlfriend downstairs.
"It's not something I would like to experience again, my lady," Stander said, addressing the judge who will deliver a verdict in the trial. "Because that young man walking down the stairs with the lady, with a young woman. His face. The expression of pain, the expression of sorrow. And he's crying."
Stander said Pistorius was "torn apart, broken, desperate."

Don't write crap.
I've said this many times, but I believe it needs to be clarified.
Here's my succinct explanation:
Write deliberately.
Taste is subjective. But very few people are able to separate their feelings about something from the value it might actually have (as evidenced by the thought that went into it), simply because they can't perceive its value, or don't bother trying to perceive it.
Which is lazy. Or ignorant. Or outright stupid. Or some combination of all three
We can offhandedly say "That TV show sucks" simply because we don't like that type of show, or don't care for one of the actors on that show, or it didn't provoke emotion. But chances are high that the show doesn't actually suck, because there was a lot of work that went into it, by a lot of people who did their best. It takes a lot of dedicated folks a lot of hours to create a television show. That doesn't mean the show is automatically excellent, but knee-jerk or cavalier dismissal of something that took so much time shows little understanding of the creation process, and devalues it.
All opinions are valid, because you can't argue with subjectivity. But just because something doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work.
So I've begun taking a closer look at media that I both like and dislike, and have been searching for the thing that indicates quality, even if it isn't something I enjoy.
I believe that thing is deliberation.
Since I write fiction, let's focus on novels. According to my criteria, a novel is a success if:
1. The writer intentionally sets out to do something within the story.
2. As a result of deliberation and execution, the story meets the writer's expectations.
No story will ever meet all readers' expectations. Some readers don't even know what to look for. Some will confuse their personal taste with quality. Some form instant opinions based on misapprehension, bias, or false expectation.
But if a writer is completely aware of why they wrote what they wrote, and can explain the reason for every chapter, scene, and sentence, I'd call that deliberate, and by definition, it can't be crap.
It's similar to a pool shark running a table, calling his shots. If you call it, and make it, you're doing something right.
Of course, that means having an understanding of writing craft, but for the sake of this argument let's assume a base level of professionalism. To know craft is to intentionally use craft.
I've tried a few times to read The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I don't enjoy his prose, and believe he takes too long to get into conflict. But I'm betting this is deliberate on his part. He's not a newbie without a clue what he's doing. In fact, he knows exactly what he's doing. It just doesn't appeal to me. This doesn't make it crap, much as I don't like it.
An easy example of this is the story I wrote with Blake Crouch, Serial. As of this writing, that free story has gotten 139 one star reviews.
As I like to say, it's difficult to judge quality if you're an idiot.
In the case of Serial, I can safely qualify most of those one star reviewers as idiots, because they criticize the story for doing the exact things Blake and I want it to do. No one should be surprised that a story about two serial killers is violent and disturbing. But because it is free, and the description likely wasn't read before the one-click download, many readers were surprised by the content, and they responded with one-star reviews.
That's their problem, not the story's problem.
Conversely, we got hammered for being overly gory and gratuitous. This amuses me to no end, because Serial is purposely understated when it comes to the on-page mayhem. The prose is spare, not purple. We don't go into descriptive detail. We pull way, way back and let the reader fill in the blanks.
We did this deliberately. The fact that people imagine gore that isn't there is proof the writing works. If you don't like it, it doesn't mean the story sucks.
One of the deep-rooted problems in our society is how people form quick opinions without analyzing why they reached their conclusions. Then they'll defend those opinions without thinking. It's a basic flaw of human nature that most people would rather fight to the death for their beliefs before questioning them. The ability to change one's mind is a rare thing.
I understand that casual dismissal is necessary, to a degree. We're bombarded with choice, and we need to be able to quickly make decisions.
But casual dismissal coupled with the anonymity (and the cushion) of the Internet has turned a bunch of lazy morons into bitter critics who spout off their idiotic opinions without any sense to back them up.
Note I am spouting off my opinion here, but I'm backing it up with a clear trail of logic. I'm also keeping this argument general, rather than personal. Much as it might amuse me to attack specific people or reviews, you won't see me do much of that.
I don't like critics in general (I don't like awards either, but that's another rant.) But a good critic can remain somewhat objective.
The world wide web has spawned an unpleasant epidemic of idiots who are quick to criticize, insult, dismiss, and reject without any accountability. These folks really believe their nearsighted and downright idiotic opinions are not only correct, but need to be voiced in public.
Are you one of these idiots? I hope not. And if you are, I hope you have the capacity to change.
Here are some signs you might be an idiot.
If you've ever called someone a name without any provocation, you're probably an idiot.
If you think the world really cares about how much you hate something, you're probably an idiot.
If you've ever given a one-star review to anything, you're probably an idiot.
If you've ever posted anonymously, you're probably an idiot.
If you've ever casually dismissed something that others find value in, you're definitely an idiot.
If you talk before you think, you're definitely an idiot.
If you have a closed mind, you're definitely an idiot.
If this blog post makes you angry, you're definitely an idiot.
Now you might say, "Joe, but I've done one or more of these things. Does that mean I'm an idiot?"
Possibly not. True idiots usually aren't aware that they're idiots. But if you're doing a lot of the above, you aren't doing yourself any favors.
Remember how I said that writers should be deliberate?
That goes for everyone. We should all be self-aware. We should be deliberate in everything we do, including when we're being critical. Especially when we're being critical.
So, to recap:
If you're a writer, make sure you understand why you're writing what you write, and have a clear idea of what you want those words to do. Then you'll never write crap.
If you're a human being, make sure you truly understand why you say and do the things you say and do. An unexamined life ain't worth living. And an unexamined life that tweets or posts reviews on Amazon is a big waste of carbon. And oxygen.
There was no particular inciting event that made me go off on this rant. But I've seen too much stupidity on the Internets over the years, and the number of clueless morons seems to be rising.
Don't be a clueless moron, in your writing, or in your life.
Be deliberate. Everything you write, whether it be fiction or commentary, should be carefully thought through and intentional. If you ever dismiss something deliberate without being deliberate yourself, you're going to come off looking like an idiot.
And to my many critics: Disagreeing with me doesn't make you wrong. It's your inability to adequately articulate why you disagree with me that makes you wrong.
Being wrong is fine, if you learn from it.

A guide to buy Seda Single Hole Bathroom Faucet byKraus furniture
The first thing to consider when choosing home furniture furniture is the role of the home furniture in the household. Some families use their home furniture mostly for watching television, while others use it for reading, listening to music, and socialising with guests. A single home furniture may be used for all of those purposes at different times. Watching television, playing video games, reading, and visiting with friends may each have to be considered when planning the furniture arrangement. An alternative is to choose furniture that can be rearranged easily.
Choosing a Seda Single Hole Bathroom Faucet byKraus
Knowing what the home furniture furniture set will be used for can help to clarify exactly what needs to be included. For example, is it better to have two sofas, or a single sofa and two armchairs? Keep preferences in mind, thus making the search easier.
Prioritising Seda Single Hole Bathroom Faucet byKraus Furniture Features
A familys preference for sitting straight, sprawling, or laying on the furniture will affect the ideal size and softness of the sofas and chairs. If the home furniture doubles as a guest room, then sleeper sofas may be needed. Extremely soft, low to the ground sofas can be difficult to sit down onto and rise out of. If the home furniture is a place for guests as well as family, then perhaps the furniture should be neat looking and easy to use. This can especially be an issue for family members and guests who are elderly or disabled. For easy rearrangement, consider smaller upholstered chairs and two-seater sofas. On the other hand, some families absolutely love a large, sturdy, cushy sofa that everyone can cuddle up on. If meals are occasionally eaten in the home furniture, then careful consideration should be given to the placement of tables and the ease of cleaning the upholstery. If the home furniture is used for reading, then lighting will be an important consideration.
Finding the Right Fit Seda Single Hole Bathroom Faucet byKraus
Of course, at some point the familys ideal home furniture arrangement needs to be reconciled with the space available. It is a very good idea to draw up the home furniture on graph paper before buying furniture. Assign a scale, perhaps one square per six inches or one square per fifteen centimetres. Begin by measuring the room and drawing the outline onto the graph paper. Then, cut out furniture outlines in the same scale from a second piece of graph paper. Create templates for the existing furniture first, and then make templates based on the size of the sofas, chairs, and footstools under consideration. Move the furniture templates around on the room outline to check for fit and arrangement. Dont forget to add non-upholstered furniture and accessories such as side tables, floor lamps, a coffee table, bookshelves, and an entertainment centre. Not only is this a useful method for choosing furniture that will fit, it can be used to work out the rooms plan before the new furniture arrives. Rearrangement of the actual furniture will not be necessary.
Seda Single Hole Bathroom Faucet byKraus Furniture Styles
Although home furniture furniture is often chosen more for comfort than for style, it is certainly possible to combine a flair for decorating with practical considerations. Below are a few categories that home furniture furniture is often divided into.

Sprinklr Acquires Branderati as Social Media Tools Consolidate
Social media platform Sprinklr Inc. is expanding in preparation for a potential IPO next year, snapping up its third company in the last six months to nearly double headcount to 550 in that time.
The enterprise software company said Wednesday it has acquired social-media tools maker Branderati Inc. for an undisclosed sum. The news comes just a few weeks after Sprinklr announced it had acquired TBG Digital Ltd. and six months after acquiring Dachis Group Inc., also for undisclosed sums.
The deals highlight continuing consolidation among companies making social media tools and marks the latest milestone for the New York startup in its quest to be a one-stop shop for Dell, Vodafone, Zynga and other large enterprises to manage crucial and increasingly complex social channels.
"All of our acquisitions are based on what we hear in the marketplace," Sprinklr Chief Executive and founder Ragy Thomas said. "We go to our customers and see whether it makes sense. We [Sprinklr and the three acquired startups] had common clients."
Like Dynamic Signal Inc. and Addvocate Inc., Branderati, a bootstrapped startup with 150 people, helps companies build their own advocacy networks on Facebook, Twitter and other social channels by enlisting fans and customers to market the company. Sprinklr gained technology to help enterprises manage paid media spend on social networks with the acquisition of TBG Digital and ramped its analytics offering through the purchase of Dachis Group.
Offering a portfolio of capabilities positions Sprinklr to compete with products offered by companies like Google Inc., Salesforce.com, Oracle, Lithium Technologies Inc. and Medallia Inc.
Sprinklr now offers 15 services to clients as a monthly software service and has plans to release another five in coming months. Customers can customize their package to include one or more of those services, which can include everything from crisis management and compliance to customer care. With more than 675 customers and the average annual contract around $120,000, Sprinklr expects to hit an annual run rate north of $100 million in early to mid-2015, Mr. Thomas said.
At that juncture, an event which Mr. Thomas describes as hitting "critical mass," Sprinklr will evaluate an IPO.
"We are doing the things we need to and preparing for it. The question is do we want to, when there's so much secondary capital available on the sidelines waiting to come in," he said, referring to the recent wave of late-stage deals by large firms crossing from public markets investing into private rounds.
Sprinklr has raised more than $77 million from investors including Iconiq Capital, Intel Capital and Battery Ventures.
Intel Capital Director and Sprinklr board member Carey Lai invested in Sprinklr's Series B, C and D rounds, with the latest round occurring in April at a valuation north of $500 million.
"I'm very pleased they are one of the consolidators in the marketplace," Mr. Lai said. "It's one of the fastest growing companies in the SaaS [software-as-a-service] space I've ever been a part of. It's a rocketship."
Mr. Thomas acknowledged that this next phase for Sprinklr is a tricky one. He said he aims to consolidate the new companies "aggressively" while reinforcing a strong company culture.
"My worst nightmare is that we become a large company. We have to maintain a startup's aggressiveness," he said. "We got here by releasing a new product with new code every week."

I know, I know… I've been bad, I haven't been keeping up with my regular postings but I have an excuse! The office has kept me particularly busy for the past month and normally I would say "come on, give me a break, busy is not an excuse!" The office has not only kept me busy but it has also kept me out of the kitchen since I've had to travel to meet with an array of clients and consultants. Keeping me out of my kitchen means that my creative juices aren't flowing the way they usually do. I'm not thinking about what I am going to cook since it is not something that is on the work-travel agenda.
But here I am, back home with the holidays upon us and not exactly on vacation – yet! This is the last haul until I get to decompress with my love, with nothing on the agenda but rest and our choice of outings at our own pace.
Since we have been so busy for the last while, we kept pushing back our holiday dinner party which was first scheduled for Thanksgiving, then to American Thanksgiving, then to the first day of Hanukkah, to finally the last day of Hanukkah, the weekend before Christmas. So, this coming weekend is when we will be celebrating Chrismukkah! Before I get into the likes of prepping for the holidays, we still need to eat in the meantime: since Sunday was the first weekend day in a long time we had to ourselves, we went ahead and simmered a lamb curry for the week and whilst it simmered we decorated our Chrismukkah tree.
Although it requires a long simmer time, this recipe is so much fun because it is incredibly versatile and one of those make ahead meals that you can eat throughout the week or freeze for another busy day!
Make -it-your-own Curry
- The following ingredient list is what I would recommend as a base to start with:
- 3 tablespoons of curry powder
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 carrots, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 large potato, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 turnip, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- Choice of meat, preferably bone-in (this adds flavor to the curry)
If you're making a vegetarian version, then just skip ahead to the next point. For the meat lovers out there, you'll want to begin by searing the meat, which just means cooking it until the sides are brown and then removing it from the pot. There is no need to cook it through entirely since you will be returning the meat to the pot and simmering it for a couple of hours. Lamb is one of my favorite meats, but it is also an expensive meat. For this kind of dish I like using lamb shanks. Not only are they less expensive than say lamb chops, but hey give a lot of flavor and the slow cooking process makes the meat super tender and completely delectable.
Once you've removed the meat, drizzle the pot with some oil and sauté the onions and garlic. I took advantage of this dish to use up a yellow pepper from my fridge that was almost forgotten, sliced it in julienne and added it to the pot. When everything begins to brown, add the curry powder and stir to blend well. Add the can of diced tomatoes and an equal part of water. Add the remainder of your veggies, notably the carrots, potatoes and turnips. Feel free to add or omit anything you like or dislike, or even any vegetables that are leftover in your fridge. However, if you are using leftover vegetables that have already been cooked, then I would suggest adding those at the end just before serving simply to heat them through.
At this point give the mix a good stir, add your meat, bring down the heat to low and simmer for approximately two hours. After two hours the meat and all the vegetable should be tender. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, more curry powder and/or cayenne if you like it a bit spicier. You can also add a can of lentils or chickpeas (drained and rinsed) to make for a more consistent dish especially if you've chosen to make a vegetarian version.
Your curry is now ready to package for lunches, dinners or to preserve in individual portions in the freezer. Serve hot with naan bread, rice or anything side-dish you'd like!
I hear a lot of people talk about how they do not have time to cook and I can see how that can happen especially if these are people who do not particularly enjoy the act of cooking. However, I'm going to say that although stews, curries, soups and the like do require a long cook time, the prep time rarely exceeds 20 minutes (and that's if you're taking your time). After all ingredients are in the pot and simmering, you are free to do anything you want for an hour or two or three! Just don't venture outside your home, your stove is still on! I usually like to take this time to do household chores. So go ahead and stay in the house for a few hours and do some simmering while busying yourself indoors. You'll be able to free up any busy weeknight resulting from a long day at the office, your last minute holiday shopping or even for some extra quality time with a certain someone!

DAVID Dunn has signed a new one-year contract at Blackburn Rovers.
The 34-year-old was out of contract this summer but had been in negotiations for some time and has now penned a deal ahead of Rovers' opening pre-season match at AFC Telford United tomorrow.
"I'm delighted that he's been able to continue his association with the club," said Rovers boss Gary Bowyer.
"I think it is a rare commodity in football nowadays that a player starts at the academy and has a long career at the club.
"His experience will be invaluable this season on and off the pitch, he is Mr Blackburn Rovers."

BROOKLYN — It's been nine long years since Bruce Ratner presented his idea for an arena in Brooklyn to New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. So you'll excuse Ratner if he was so excited that he repeated his opening line at Friday's ribbon-cutting ceremony to express how important this was for him.
"We are finally here to celebrate the grand opening of the Barclays Center arena," Ratner said, and then said again. Then the lights came on and the long-awaited Barclays Center was there.
There's no doubt that this was Ratner's day, but the star of the show was the Brooklyn Nets' new home. It's much better located than the old Izod Center in East Rutherford, with 11 subway lines and the Long Island railroad stopping right outside. It's much more permanent than their stopover in Newark. And it may be the best building in the NBA.
There are some that will certainly have issues with the rusted exterior. But because the floor is below street level, the building doesn't dominate the neighborhood vertically. And once fans are inside, they can't help but to be impressed.
The open concourse and luxury suites are pretty standard for modern arenas. The real signature of this building will be the large atrium at the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush, which takes fans right up to the arena bowl at the top of the lower level. From there, you can check on the game before you make your way to your seat.
The bowl itself is vertical, giving the arena an intimate feel. It's a far cry from the cavernous Meadowlands that the Nets used to call home. And if crowds can help a home team win basketball games, this one certainly will.
The Nets needed a good team to bring to their new arena. And clearly, their new arena played a part in bringing the players — starting with Deron Williams — that will make up a pretty good team. Now, they're less than six weeks away from opening night against the Knicks.
The doors are open. Brooklyn has its team. And the Nets have a place they can be proud to call home.

The Rising Rollers
We are participating in SkyRise Chicago, tackling the planet's highest indoor tower climb at the Willis Tower to raise funds for the nation's best rehabilitation hospital, according to US News and World Report – the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, formerly known as the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC)!
SRALAB provides world-class rehabilitation care to thousands of patients for traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, stroke and cancer recovery, and more. The funds raised through SkyRise Chicago will directly support advances in patient care and cutting-edge research at SRALAB.
SkyRise Chicago is truly a special event. It's the only tower climb in the world to offer two modes of participation - by foot up the Willis Tower stairs and via stationary hand-cycling the equivalent distance uphill. These options give anyone, no matter their level of ability, the opportunity to participate.
Help us as we challenge ourselves physically and mentally to complete the climb and support SRALAB, a not-for profit hospital organization. Your donation will help SRALAB continue to provide patients with world-class care for the brightest possible future.
Tower Up!

OSCARRI necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 159 diseños de 44 diseñadores freelance.
OSCAR (Ocean State Consortium of Advanced Resources)
We are a regional social infrastructure/platform and movement to transform a region -- a change agent.
OSCAR connects and networks people and their ideas to address regional challenges in broad topics such health, energy and environment, society and economy. By connecting people, OSCAR builds momentum toward a shared agenda that builds shared resources (people, facilities, equipment, etc) that no one organization or institution could do alone to advance this spectacular region we live in – sum is greater than our parts.
Our target market is broad and includes a community of world-class faculty, entrepreneurs, companies, service agencies, artists, designers and students from public and private entities and across diverse fields with young and old professionals.
We hope the logo will appeal across sectors - to government, industry (large and entrepreneurial), non-profit and academic sectors and attract and inspire the region's change and thought leaders, to join forces.
It should inspire creative ideas, express the ability to overcome obstacles that exist between sectors, and demonstrate ability to build a new model of collaboration that is porous and accessible infrastructure (beyond ownership) to support regional transformation.
We want to be inspired – moved to action. Although a complicated concept, we are looking for a simple but creative logo with a sense of collaboration putting things in motion -- forward thinking, aspiring, transforming, creating, innovating.
Please spell out acronym in the design; however, do it in such a way that if at a later date we decide to remove it and leave the acronym only -- the design still works.
A design that is transferable to all mediums, on all backgrounds and is easily resizable. Not interested in cartoons.
At the end of the contest, we require all original source files, including: unlocked vector file, unlocked .eps file, unlocked .ai file, large .jpeg file, font names and file location(s), etc.
Be really creative because this is unique and transformative. Have fun!
And feel free to send us questions, we want to be as involved as you want us to be.

WebSpy - SoHo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 158 diseños de 47 diseñadores freelance.
WebSpy SoHo – Home & Small Network Dashboard
WebSpy is a leading software developer of monitoring, analysis and reporting software for Internet, Email and Network usage. We currently have two main product ranges (WebSpy Analyzer and WebSpy Vantage) targeted at businesses, schools and governments. More on http://www.webspy.com
In a near future we will add another product to our WebSpy portfolio. The product's name is "SoHo" and it shows user the current and total Internet and network activity on a PC or a network. This is the first time WebSpy develops a product targeted at home users and small offices and we really need the logo to be differentiated from our other product logos.
When the Internet connection is slow, people want to know why. They're not necessarily technical, but want to know what each PC on the network is up to. Is their network being over used? What is causing the excessive usage? They also want to watch their usage so they know when they are approaching their Internet Service Provider's Quota limit.
SoHo will provide a cost effective and easy way for home users and small business to find out which computers are using most if the Internet bandwidth, how much of their Internet quota has been used and by which PC, and it will also provide alerts when unknown machines are detected on their network.
SoHo will be targeted towards home users and small offices running a network, with 1-15 people, that would like to monitor the Internet usage of each PC on that network.
Thus, the users of our software can be individuals, households, families, people working from home, and smaller offices wanting to monitor their personal PCs and/or shared home or office network.
We expect the our target audience will have different levels of technical expertise.To cater for different technical level the software will be very straightforward and easy to use. The software itself is still in development and the final design will have a darker dashboard with colorful charts and alerts including:
• Chart for download/upload activity & history of each machine in the network
• Chart for amount of ISP quota used/ remaining
• Alerts when the network is starting to overload
• Alerts when certain levels of quota have been reached
• Alerts when a new machine is using the network
We need a professional and innovative logo design of the word SoHo, combined with appropriate graphic. The design must be able to work on its own and in combination with the tag line "Home and Small Network Dashboard". Although we don't want them to look alike, it is important to keep our current WebSpy logo in mind. The SoHo logo will many times be displayed near the WebSpy logo on website and other marketing material.
To sum up the logo should:
• Have a professional and innovative design of the word SoHo combined with appropriate graphic (feel free to experiment with upper, lowercase and colors)
• Work on its own and combined with the tag line "Home & Small Network Dashboard"
• Work well on both dark and light backgrounds. Please submit both.
• Be set apart from the more subtle design of our other software targeted towards businesses.
• Appeal to the target market
• Have a clean and sharp design
• Be inspired by Web.02 and easy to use dashboard applications such as those found in iPhones
• Clever graphics symbolizing networks, network traffic, uploads/downloads, charts and similar are recommended
We DON'T want:
• Any graphics that includes spies, fingerprints, magnifying glasses, eyes, spider webs or cartoons
• Complicated designs
.eps or other vector format (CMYK) and other original formats, .jpg, .tiff or layerd .psd
We will provide quick and constant feedback so don't hesitate upload your initial designs asap. If you have any questions email email@example.com
Good Luck!

Asparagus are terrific when blasted with high heat; if you haven't had them browned, you're in for a new treat. If you have a grill going, you should really try grilling them; thick spears, especially, are wonderful this way (thin ones are good too, but you have to be especially careful not to let them fall through the grill grates). If the grill is not on, roast them. They're amazing this way, especially with butter. Recipe from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.

Saturday March 15 from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm Pacific Time (4:00 pm to 6:30 pm Eastern)
This webinar offers a key to understanding the Mesoamerican astrological tradition, a tradition that was lost but is now being re-discovered and recreated.
In Mesoamerica, today's Mexico and Central America, high civilization arose about 2,000 years later than it did in the Middle East and Asia. Just as in the West, a kind of astrology appeared early on and it continued to evolve over the centuries.
No significant outside influences altered its development until the arrival of the Spanish five hundred years ago. At that time the Maya were in a state of decline and the Aztecs were at the peak of their empire. The effects of the Spanish invasion on the indigenous astrology was devastating. Friars were brought in to systematically eliminate as much of the traditional ways as possible, to be replaced by the Christian model. Disease decimated the populations eliminating nearly all who were knowledgeable of the astrological traditions. Worst of all, most of the books were burned. Only a few relics, books, inscriptions and an oral tradition kept what is truly a Native American astrology alive.
Western astrology, essentially Mesopotamian astrology heavily modified by the Greeks, is spatial. We have signs that are measured against the stars, houses measured against the horizon and meridian, and aspects that measure the distances between the planets. While it is true that some elements of Western astrology combine both time and space, most of it is spatial.
In Mesoamerican astrology time serves as a sign. The basic unit of one day, one rotation of the earth, is the foundation on which other units rest. The core of time-based Mesoamerican astrology is the 260-day astrological calendar. This time unit has links to many astronomical cycles and was used for character description and choosing times for activities such as business trips and political or religious rituals. This 260-day calendar operates on several levels, one being the Long Count which structures a 5,125-year era – best known as the Mayan Calendar which "ended" in 2012.
The planet Venus was of critical importance to Mesoamerican astrologers and its movements were carefully observed and precautions were taken when it was conjunct the sun and moving retrograde – it was thought to be a bad omen for leaders.
This webinar serves as an introduction to this astrological system. Those interested in astronomy and archaeology will find it of interest as will those who have an interest in the highly descriptive day-signs.
Bruce Scofield, PhD University of Massachusetts; MS History of Science, Montclair University; BA, History, Rutgers University. Mr. Scofield has been a practicing astrologer since 1975 and has been a teacher and lecturer at many regional and national conferences over the last twenty years. He has written many articles for various astrological publications and has published a number of important astrological texts, including Timing of Events: Electional Astrology; The Aztec Circle of Destiny; Native American Astrology from Ancient Mexico, and Signs of Time: An Introduction to Mesoamerican Astrology. Mr. Scofield received his PhD from the University of Massachusetts where he works on Gaia theory and solar system influences on climate and life.

I apologize for my total ignorance in the sphere of mathematics and the possibly very silly question I'm about to ask. My mathematical knowledge level is quite limited (pretty much finished with some slightly more advanced stuff then grade 12) so please if possible limit too much terminology to about that level of math. Again I don't mean to offend anyone & I'm sorry if the following sounds like a joke but I am genuinely interested and cannot quite grasp the reason for it.
I've been curious for quite sometime now, What is the significance for a mathematics to frequently require proof for both finite & infinite cases of theorems ? Why isn't it satisfactory to prove any theorem for a reasonably high finite x (whatever x is - be it set of some numbers) ? The reason why I'm asking is that in real-life applications (not talking about software application but life applications like count a bag of money or something like that) there is likely never need to deal with infinite of anything really - it might be a very high quantity but never infinite. So why does mathematics needs and requires proof for the infinite case as well, instead being satisfied proving only finite case ?
Thanks for any advise!!
