What is more is that a law enforcement source brought to light what many have been suspicious of the entire time. From the New York Daily News:
While the video by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.
"They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.
O'Keefe and Giles - who visited ACORN offices in several cities, including its Brooklyn headquarters - stirred controversy when they posted the videos on their Web site.
They were hailed as heroes by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and their footage led several government agencies to temporarily cut funding for ACORN as the prosecutors opened an investigation.
"On Sept. 15, 2009, my office began an investigation into possible criminality on the part of three ACORN employees," Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said in a one-paragraph statement issued Monday afternoon.
"That investigation is now concluded and no criminality has been found."
So not only was the Brooklyn ACORN office cleared of wrong-doing, but it has become clear that O'Keefe edited his videos in a misleading way.
It is also important to remember that O'Keefe's fellow Conservative activist Hannah Giles, (who played the role of the prostitute in these videos), confirmed that O'Keefe did NOT wear the outlandish pimp outfit when he went into the ACORN offices as many had thought. From BradBlog:
I asked Giles about a criticism that's often been leveled against them — that they hyped up the video by wearing outrageous clothes in promotional materials and the videos' introductions that they didn't wear in the actual stings.
"We never claimed that he went in with a pimp costume," said Giles. "That was b-roll. It was purely b-roll. He was a pimp, I was a prostitute, and we were walking in front of government buildings to show how the government was whoring out the American people."
But it's not like O'Keefe contributed to this "confusion" by letting everyone think that he wore that outfit during the "stings" right? Oh wait...
Apparently he was only dressed in khaki's and a white shirt and posed as the concerned boyfriend of Hannah Giles who wanted to protect her from an abusive pimp. Quite different than what Fox News and the likes of Andrew Breitbart led the public to believe.
O'Keefe is currently still under investigation for reportedly trying to conduct some type of "sting" in the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) back in January. Despite all of this, both O'Keefe and Giles spoke this weekend at the 2010 California Republican Assembly conference in an apparent show of support from some on the political Right.

Fredrik Åkesson is the lead guitarist for the progressive death metal band Opeth. He is also known for his guitar work in numerous projects that include Arch Enemy, Tailsman, Krux, and Tiamat.
Åkesson is currently on tour with Opeth promoting the band's latest album Heritage (which I was a fan of).
Here is a phone conversation we had in which we discussed the current tour with Mastodon, Mikael's recent injury, the dark lyrical content of the band he had when he was nine, his favorite beers, and more. He even divulged the band's post-festival season tour plans, although he is unsure if he was supposed to or not.

The Only Thing to Fear
Normally I would write about something that I have recently gone through and overcome. Then, I would talk about what the Lord is doing in my life because of it. I would also probably then apply it to everyone's lives and include an encouraging message, reminding everyone how great our God is.
And He is great – don't get me wrong.
However, I felt compelled to write about something that I am struggling with – something that I haven't quite figured out.
FOMO. Most college students should know what that means. If not, it stands for the "fear of missing out." But what most people don't realize is that it doesn't just apply to us social college kids.
I think anyone can relate to this. Imagine all your friends out having a fun time, with you sitting at home not able to be with them. Imagine your whole family on a vacation, but you can't go due to work obligations. Simply imagine your greatest desires, yet not being able to go live them out while everyone else does.
It's not until recently that I've realized that this fear of missing out is a sin. It turns into jealousy. It turns into envy. It turns into the desires of our flesh. Today, it's wishing you could hit the bar with your friends. Tomorrow, it could turn into wishing you had a body like her or wishing you had as much money as they do.
For me, this fear of missing out is currently hitting me like a freight train. I am home for the summer working, while all of my friends are enjoying their lives in our cute little college town. I won't get into personal details because I think you get my point.
I then came across this, which made the situation a tad more clear.
"You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." // James 4:2-3
When I break it down, I find myself guilty. Here is exactly how that passage is affecting my life: I desire to not be stuck at home all summer, so I complain. I desire something that I'm not getting, so I put up a fight. I'm not happy because I'm not asking the Lord to help me. But when I do ask, I ask out of selfishness. I then don't get what I receive because of my wrong motives.
At this point, I would be lying if I said I know exactly where to go from here – I don't. When it comes down to it, when it comes down to honestly anything in life, all I know is that I have to trust Jesus.
He is asking us to just reach out to him; He wants to help us. When we realize that the only thing we need to fear about missing out on is a relationship with Jesus, we break the chains of "FOMO." Yet why is it so hard? We forget to realize that everything we feel we are missing out on is summed up and made up for in Christ. He is a good father, and that's all there is to it.
Long story short, this was not a post on how I have overcome this sin in my life. It is still relevant, and I'm trying to not let it consume me.
In the mean time, I have to remember that the only thing I need to fear is missing out in Jesus. When I fully grasp that, He will come through and shatter those chains. He's just waiting for me.
"And with all his abundant wealth through Christ Jesus, my God will supply all your needs." // Philippians 4:19

Canon Inc. (7751.TO) said Monday its net profit slipped 1% in the July-September period, as the company continued to struggle with falling demand for digital cameras.
The Japanese office equipment and camera maker said its net profit decreased to Y58.249 billion ($540 million), from Y58.822 billion in the same period last year. Sales fell 4.5% to Y872.208 billion from Y913.149 billion.
The improved quality of smartphone cameras has hit Canon and other digital camera makers. Worldwide camera shipments were down 32% in the first eight months of this year from the same period last year, according to data by the Camera & Imaging Products Association in Tokyo.
Canon said imaging system sales, which include digital cameras, fell 9.4% during the third quarter, as consumers continued to use smartphones as cameras.
To differentiate itself from smartphone cameras, Canon is shifting its focus to higher value-added products.
For the full business year ending in December, the company now expects revenue of Y3.74 trillion, down from an earlier projection of Y3.78 trillion.
The company's outlook is based on the assumption that the dollar will average Y108 and the euro Y137 for the rest of this year. Canon generates about 80% of its revenue outside Japan.
Canon's earnings are based on U.S. accounting standards.

Tibetan Bowls are being heavily used for various purposes and benefits across the world. Sound therapy is widely used in the Tibetan cultures by using bells, bowls, tingshas and horns.
There are 5 Buddha's carved inside these Tibetan bowls. Gautama Buddha, Siddharta Gautama or Shakyamuni Buddha are all different names for the simple and more widely known Buddha. He was an enlightened teacher and Buddhism is based on his teachings. In Hinduism he is believed to be an avatar or reincarnation of the Lord Vishnu. Of the 10 reincarnations of Lord Vishnu, Buddha is believed to be the 9th and the most reincarnation.
The mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is inscribed on the outer rim of these bowls, is the mantra that all Buddhists live by. This mantra encompasses all of the 84,000 teachings of the Dharma of Buddhism. As per Dalai Lama, chanting Om Mani Padme Hum can transform any impurities in body, speech and mind into the pure state of body, speech and mind as that is of the Buddha himself.
There are many benefits and reasons for using Tibetan Bowls.
Tibetan bowls or sound bowls are a very powerful source of sound therapy. These Tibetan bowls are made of 5 different metals and the benefit is received through sound healing vibrations and frequencies. By holding the bowls in your hand and playing them, one can benefit by the vibrations of the sound that can help the human body at a cellular level.
Using sound bowls helps the brain in switching from the usual Beta state to the Theta state which is more beneficial for the human body.
Tibetan Bowls are also used in various practices such as:
- Meditations
- Chakra balancing
- Relaxation
- Space cleansing
- Massages
How can you play the Tibetan Bowls?
- Hold your Tibetan Bowl on the palm of your out stretched left hand. Try and point your fingers downwards.
- Hold the wooden mallet with the finger tips of your right hand and your fingers pointing downwards.
- Gently tap the mallet on the outer rim of the bowl and then maintain contact while moving the mallet around the bowl. Alternatively you can also start without the tap on the bowl but this is usually achieved after some practice.
- Once you start moving the mallet around the bowl, you should hear a low sound. You can increase or lower the speed and you will notice a change in the sound that the bowl creates. Move the mallet at a speed that seems pleasant to you.
Note –
- Always move the mallet in a clockwise direction as this is the direction in which our chakras move and also the correct spiritual direction to move in.
- Practice makes perfect so do not give up if you cant maintain the contact for long or the sound does not appeal to you just yet.

Smoothies are perfect for a quick snack or breakfast. Try this delicious dairy free Strawberry Avocado Smoothie for a creamy treat.
This post contains affiliate links.
Dairy Free Smoothie
So many smoothies use yogurt as a base, and while I love yogurt I don't enjoy having it in smoothies. For this dairy free Strawberry Avocado Smoothie I used avocado and bananas to get a smooth creamy taste without yogurt or milk. Smoothies without yogurt are still sweetly delicious and packed with nutrients, but usually have less calories than one made with yogurt. This makes them a great choice if you are looking for a sweet treat without guilt.
Trial and Error Smoothie Making
With only a few simple ingredients in this smoothie the ratio of avocados to strawberries is critical. The first time I tried it I only used 5 strawberries, and it was a not sweet enough. It was also an ugly puce green color, which made it much less appealing to drink! So I returned the mixture to the blender and added 7 more strawberries, which gave it a great flavor boost, and made it a pretty light pink color. Trial and error is frequently necessary to find the ideal smoothie recipe!

The digital revolution has given government the opportunity to connect with citizens through the smart technology they carry in their pockets. Through apps and websites, citizens can access government information in the same real-time and mobile-enabled way they engage with the rest of the world.
Because it enables citizen engagement, field mobility, superior analytics and data management, location data is at the core of government transformation. It helps both government and citizens understand where things are happening and why, allowing them to apply that understanding to decision making.
Location data is particularly important when government agencies are preparing for winter weather events. The massive amount of planning and the real-time decisions that must be made mean that accurate information is critical. With the push for opening data, increasing transparency and controlling spending, many governments are finding new ways to communicate the strategy and dollars that go into preparedness decisions.
Authoritative, historic and real-time data are the essential components of any snow and ice operation. It allows departments to remain informed, operate with the most up-to-date information and make decisions based on reliable information. By taking existing information and combining it with data from trusted providers and weather services, agencies can plan for a storm before it comes, monitor its progress and address recovery.
The Iowa Department of Transportation, for example, is using location analytics to improve its response to winter storm challenges and keep the public informed. Iowa DOT introduced an application that visualizes the costs of keeping state-owned roads clear during winter weather. The Winter Cost Calculator shows how much money has been spent on material, labor and equipment for the previous 48 hours of winter weather road maintenance. Color coded roadways show where resource usage is above, below or in-line with the statewide average.
In addition, users can click on segments of roadway to get costs specific to that segment, as well as more detailed information such as the last time a plow truck passed that section of roadway and how much time was spent applying materials. Not only can citizens see exactly how their tax dollars are being spent during winter emergencies, they also can see a real-time detailed picture of the storm's effects on their roads and find the best routes to avoid getting stuck in the snow.
The data that powers the Winter Cost Calculator comes from the advanced vehicle location systems installed on all Iowa DOT maintenance vehicles. Data from the system is processed in near real time and used for various analytics and applications to help travelers, businesses and Iowa DOT to make better decisions.
Like many other states, Iowa has been collecting this type of data for years, but this application allows it to share this information with citizens in a way that is easy to use and understand. The state hopes that by providing this information, it can increase transparency with regards to resource allotment and give drivers the ability to select the safest path through winter storms by helping them to see which roads have and have not been treated and serviced.
It is this synthesis of field sensors, real-time analytics, mobility and open data that shows Iowa as a leader in digital transformation of state government.

I totally love the Konjac sponge and have been using it for a few years now, so I decided to do some research and get to the bottom of why this particular porous root is so awesome for skincare. I found this awesome article:
Konjac sponges have been taking the world by storm, the skincare world that is. These increasingly popular, but definitely rather strange looking sponges, aren't the type of sponge you'd imagine, but they are actually made out of a porous root vegetable.
The sponge itself is the Japanese konyaku root, which explains why it has been all the rage in Japan for quite some time now. It's not only rather tasty and nutritious, it's great for your skin.
While it may not rotate, oscillate, or vibrate, it does promise more radiant, beautiful skin, simply by washing your face. It can be paired with your favorite cleanser, and acts as a gentle exfoliator to help buff dry and dead skin away, revealing a softer, smoother and more radiant complexion. You might think of it as a kind of loofah, only it works a whole lot better than that. Plus, there's no need to worry about chemicals or other potentially harmful toxins, as it's 100% natural too.
The konjac sponge is also rich in vitamins, including A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, and E, as well as proteins, lipids, fatty acids and minerals like copper, zinc, iron and magnesium. As it's a naturally alkaline plant with a neutral pH, that means that it can help balance the skin, and it won't damage the epidermis either.
So why exactly do you need a konjac sponge? There are quite a few reasons that you really don't want to live without it, including these:
1. The konjac sponge is also rich in vitamins, including A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, and E, as well as proteins, lipids, fatty acids and minerals like copper, zinc, iron and magnesium. As it's a naturally alkaline plant with a neutral pH, that means that it can help balance the skin, and it won't damage the epidermis either.
2. Anyone with acne or clogged pores can benefit from the konjac sponge, because its fibers help to unclog pores that are plugged up in a way that a washcloth or your hands simply cannot. As it's an antibacterial, it helps to kill acne-causing bacteria as well as deep clean the skin's pores to eliminate dirt, blackheads, and oil. When the pores become clogged with dead skin cells and other impurities, oils from the skin tend to get trapped beneath the surface, causing pimples and blackheads.
3. As a konjac sponge works as an exfoliator, as mentioned, using it will make your skin more radiant. Using anything on the skin that exfoliates is known to give the complexion a more "glowing" look, and the more often you use it, the more pronounced those effects will be. Regular use will likely result in skin that's as smooth and silky as a baby's bottom!
4. The konjac sponge can help your makeup stay on longer and look better too. That's because it helps to remove flaky skin that can interfere with application and as it also helps to moisturize the skin, the face is more responsive to other skincare products that are used as well, creating the ideal canvas for your cosmetic art.When you're ready to remove your makeup, the konjac sponge is great for that too, as it's able to remove even the most stubborn traces of makeup. Used with soap (or a homemade cleanser) and water, it will remove more makeup than washing with your hands alone. You can even run one around your eyes so that your mascara comes off easier and faster.
5. The konjac sponge is great for those with sun-damaged skin as it helps to gently slough off the dull, dry flakes that typically come along with it. If you frequently wear an SPF sunscreen, daily or almost every day, using the sponge can help to remove stubborn, water-resistant sunscreen that usually won't come off with soap or other traditional cleansers.
6. The konjac sponge is not only ideal for adults with sensitive skin because it won't damage skin cells, but it's perfect for baby's sensitive skin too. The sponges are soft, palm-sized and are the ultimate product for baby's bath time. Use it to massage the skin gently, working in circular motions.
So there you have it, a great detailed article on the konjac sponge and here's how to actually use it:
- When you first get the konjac sponge, it's going to be dry and hard, like a traditional sponge. Simply wet it under warm water, getting it completely saturated, until it's soft all the way through.
- Once it's totally soft, rinse and soak it again, using warm water, until it's completely expanded. It may take as long as 20 minutes. Soaking it with warm (or hot) water helps to make its texture softer.
- To cleanse with it, gently massage your face with the sponge, beginning at the center, and extending outwards, moving in an upward direction. You can use it on its own, with soap, or with a cleanser. Avoid harsh scrubbing, particularly on acne areas, or places where you tend to break out, and around the eye area.
- After you're finished using it, rinse the sponge with clean water, and using clean hands, press it gently between your palms to help drain the water out. Avoiding twisting it or pressing it too hard, because it could result in a damaged sponge. After rinsing well, allow the sponge to air dry.

A better question is WHY shouldn't you read The Ultimate Guide to Home Aquaponics ?
Because you cannot get this information from your local hardware store or farm stand. A fish store can't help you, either. Do you think the guy at the national hardware chain store is going to know:
- How big of a tank you need?
- What fish are suited for an aquaponics tank and which aren't?
- How you keep your aquaponics system balanced?
- What are the best beds for the vegetables to be planted on?
- Whether or not you can run your aquaponics system on solar energy?
This program will provide you with an alternative to spending too much on groceries EACH YEAR – one that can give you a sustainable supply of BOTH protein and vegetables, all within your own property – And it will SAVE YOU THOUSANDS!

Comment on New investment sign of faith in future of Alice by Greg.
"Mr Drummond says 'we've tried for nine years to make it profitable' but – amazingly – it was impossible to find local Aboriginal dancers."
Says it all about this town and the tourism status, how can we promote it as a cultural hub if even the local Aboriginal people don't care enough to want to share their culture.
Every other country in the world has indigenous people display their culture and can be found smiling and happy to bring tourist into their environment, just not in Australia.
And in Alice especially all too often tourist feel threatened and scared when around them. Very sad, such a proud culture that no one ever gets to enjoy, apart from the manufactured versions in the cities.

I would guess it's getting placed next door to a prison so that if anything goes down, trained professionals can come across and assist so that the under-trained admin staff aren't being used like security guards.
Maybe if parents or family didn't want to have to pay for a way out to these places they might pay more attention to their responsibilities and basic human nature of raising your children.
Lambley: Another government backflip?
Ahh Robyn, the Government has been neglecting Alice for the past few years.
There always seems to be big money spent on the Darwin every five minutes (case in point the announced boat lift).
When was the last time a big project was promoted and completed in Alice … and I don't mean the overpass or North Stuart Highway lane upgrade that no one asked for and seem pointless.
The Government seem to dangle carrots for the people of Alice with no intension of delivering.
The hospital carpark is a no-brainer, anyone who has been to the hospital for anything knows of the pain of parking there.
Also how about the Minister talk about the idea in meaningful way instead of just trying to be a bully and trying to make fun of people.
I'm sick of how our politicians think its OK to make fun of opposition ideas and comments and vice versa. Can we all be adults and not try to bully others?

President Trump tweeted out his promised "Fake News" award winners Wednesday evening. When he first published the tweet, which provided a link to the results of his list, the website crashed temporarily, it received so many hits.
Trump added in a second tweet: "Despite some very corrupt and dishonest media coverage, there are many great reporters I respect and lots of GOOD NEWS for the American people to be proud of!"
Despite some very corrupt and dishonest media coverage, there are many great reporters I respect and lots of GOOD NEWS for the American people to be proud of!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2018
And the FAKE NEWS winners are…https://t.co/59G6x2f7fD
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2018
In announcing the "FAKE NEWS" winners, President Trump tweeted out a link to the GOP website, where the results were posted:
1. The New York Times' Paul Krugman claimed on the day of President Trump's historic, landslide victory that the economy would never recover.
2. ABC News' Brian Ross CHOKES and sends markets in a downward spiral with false report.
3. CNN FALSELY reported that candidate Donald Trump and his son Donald J. Trump, Jr. had access to hacked documents from WikiLeaks.
4. TIME FALSELY reported that President Trump removed a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office.
5. Washington Post FALSELY reported the President's massive sold-out rally in Pensacola, Florida was empty. Dishonest reporter showed picture of empty arena HOURS before crowd started pouring in.
6. CNN FALSELY edited a video to make it appear President Trump defiantly overfed fish during a visit with the Japanese prime minister. Japanese prime minister actually led the way with the feeding.
7. CNN FALSELY reported about Anthony Scaramucci's meeting with a Russian, but retracted it due to a "significant breakdown in process."
8. Newsweek FALSELY reported that Polish First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda did not shake President Trump's hand.
9. CNN FALSELY reported that former FBI Director James Comey would dispute President Trump's claim that he was told he is not under investigation.
10. The New York Times FALSELY claimed on the front page that the Trump administration had hidden a climate report.
11. And last, but not least: "RUSSIA COLLUSION!" Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!
ISIS is in retreat, our economy is booming, investments and jobs are pouring back into the country, and so much more! Together there is nothing we can't overcome–even a very biased media. We ARE Making America Great Again!

Blog Formatting
I'm in the process of updating the Fleet page.
If you ever read this blog and notice some weird spacing issues, let me tell you that this happens all the time. Whenever I write a post or update a page, after I've published it, I have to go back several times and fix spacing issues. Blogger always inserts or deletes spaces before or after images, and I have to edit the post, re-adjust everything, save the post, and look at it all over again. There are some spacing issues I can never seem to fix.
Doesn't seem like it should be that hard...

Hi Daniel,ReplyDelete
I have the same problem with weird spacing on my blog. When doing a new post, I check it on "Preview" then have to go back and move pictures and type around. I usually end up in HTML and do some fine tuning. HTML can be a little daunting when you don't know what you are moving or deleting.
One thing I've learned is - Inset the pictures first, then add the copy.
There is sometimes a big block of empty space at the bottom of the page. While in HTML, highlight the bottom after the last word in the post. Then you can delete that big open area from the finished post.
You aren't the only one who has to go back and edit, edit, edit! But, you have to also edit when doing a regular website - much more complicated than a blog. Even programs that promise "WYSIWYG" is not quite WYSIWHG.

When I was a kid there was a company called spy tech. Honestly for most of my childhood they were the coolest thing ever! They had periscopes, big ears… ok thats all I remember, but it was awesome! Now tech is sooo much better, and MUCH cheaper. With spy tools, chores become missions. Math becomes codebreaking. Your kid leaves you alone with you're mimosa for hours.
Hidden camera:
Any camera is a great for natural science studies, go out in the woods and come back with pictures of plants, bugs and animals you can look up on the internets with them. "Mission" confirmations. "See mom, I did my chores." And recording memories. There is something unique about a POV birthday party, people forget there is a camera and you really feel like you're there.
SunGlasses mini Spy DV DVR Hidden Camera Video Ski Glasses Video Recorder
Invisible Ink:
You can have a spot where you exchange messages. Curled up in an old cologne bottle. Tucked into a book. Or you can go really crazy and make a fake outlet or light switch compartment. Or with this pen, you can exchange messages right out in the open. Write, "pick up milk" on a stick note in regular pen, and, "You're mission, should you choose to accept it. Remove all DNA and incriminating evidence from the dishes from last nights gala. Send confirmation." So the kid, washes the dishes and sends you a picture.
Invisible Ink Marking Pen & LED UV Light, Sharpie Type Marker and Flashlight
This book is widely considered the standard book of cryptography for kids. They have codes of differing difficulty. Exchanging messages, written in UV invisible ink, hidden in the toilet paper roll, written in code, will make your kid feel like a true spy… of course then you've got to write in code… the things we do for our kids, its worth it.
Break the Code: Cryptography for Beginners (Dover Children's Activity Books)
I spend a lot of time looking for a decent periscope, they were either over priced toy crap or over priced professional crap, either way, not my bag of tea… I drink coffee. Then I realized what I was trying to do, I just need a way to look around corners. Really a cellphone camera would work, so if you've got an old cellphone with a busted screen, put clear box tape over the glass and give it to your kid. Older smartphones are also really very cheap as well, you don't need a sim card to use them like an iPod Touch so if you want to keep them off the internet, you can just not give them the WiFi password… your WiFi IS password protected right? Not password1234? Really I guessed it from across the internet?! Stop reading right now and go fix that! (Statistically someones going to have that password and then this will pay off, it will be hilarious! But I probably will never know, THATS what imagination is for.) Phew, I digress. Here is a list of cheap smartphones on eBay. Filter by your carrier with options on the left if you want to put cell service on it, most carriers have cheap pay-as-you-go options.
This toy kinda violates my principles… because it actually IS a crappy toy. The microphone is not in the right place for a parabolic mic, and there are SO MANY lost educational opprotunities there to discuss the focusing power of a parabola which easily transistions to physics, math, and many possible home-build projects. Can-tenna, solar heater, directional speakers, etc. BUT!!! I've always wanted one, the reviews on this are OK, it does work (if not as well as it would if they'd spent a half cent more on it) and it looks like a professional one.
Every spy needs a way to track their target. These tiny bluetooth locators are perfect. They're cheap, they are multi-fuctional (you can use them to remotely trigger a cellphone camera) and you can put one on your little spy to make sure they don't leave the back yard while you catch up on episodes of Bones. (See alternative below)
Silvercell Smart Bluetooth Tracer GPS Tag Alarm Wallet Key Pet Dog Locator Tracker Black
Now the Silvercell Tracer is some SUPER cheap made in china crap. The problem is the next option up is $15 and has reviews almost as bad. If you have the money for $25 you can get the undisputed king of bluetooth key (read kid) finders, the Tile. Comes with a non-rechargable/non-replaceable, 1-year, battery. Discounts if you buy 4 or more, you might need them encase the kid throws one in the passing truck of an evil war criminal bent on nuclear annihilation.
Tile (Gen 2) – Phone Finder. Key Finder. Item Finder – 1 Pack
Walkie-talkie?! This is 2000 effin 16 baby. (currently, right now, as I write this… its likely not as you read this so adjust date accordingly). This cheap little cellphone is perfect for a teen. Don't want to pay for a cellphone bill, skype works fine within range of the wifi router. Don't expect fast mobile data, you can expect dial up speed data on this phone, but for a kid with a data plan, that's EXACTLY what you want to avoid unexpected overages.
Unlocked Dual SIM Branded Android 4.4 Dual Core Smartphone (Black) – Decent 3.5 Inch Multi-touch Display GSM 2G & Wifi Mobile Phone, Original without Contract
While looking for a better bluetooth tracker I ran across this. I know cheap chinese tech can get absurdly cheap, but $25 for a smartwatch? The worse/best part is, this isn't the cheapest one, if you don't want the camera you can get one for $10, check the "also bought" catagory in the link below to delve into a plethora of rediculously cheap smartwatches. Most of them only work with Android and I have no idea how well its features work. I'll see if I can find someone to review it for it's kid spy (kid tracking) applications.
Padgene DZ09 Bluetooth Smart Watch with Camera for Samsung S5 / Note 2 / 3 / 4, Nexus 6, Htc, Sony and Other Android Smartphones, Gold
You don't want to leave your spy out in the field without enough film! … eh… er… memory. WARNING REMINICING COMMENCING!!! I remember my first gigabyte hard drive, 1.6 gb, $100's, cha-ching! The year before I saw my first flash memory in a catalog, 1gb, $999, but only the size of a stack a credit cards, sooo small!!! SOOO SPY!!! I thought. HAHAHAHAHA!
You don't need anything fancy, but memory is so cheap you might as well go a little overkill. I can't imaging your kid using more than 32gb of memory (thats what I thought with 1.6gb back in 1995), so unless you have a hot neighbor who has a habit of changing in front of windows, that should be more than enough. These are small enough to hide in the best of spy tradition.

'The Butterfly Tree': Film Review | Melbourne 2017
A boy mourning the death of his mother falls under the spell of a beautiful stranger in Priscilla Cameron's debut feature.
Teenage lust is complicated by a serious Oedipal complex in The Butterfly Tree, the debut feature from Australian director Priscilla Cameron. Starring Melissa George (The Slap) as a former chanteuse living in the most unlikely residential home in Queensland — a sequin-filled florist's shop and greenhouse that Baz Luhrmann would be envious of — this rather underpowered tale of sexual awakening and grief proceeds at a leisurely pace before a couple of late scenes that strive to outdo each other for sheer melodramatic overreach. Screening in the Toronto International Film Festival's Discovery sidebar next month after premiering at the Melbourne International Film Festival, the film's Mount Tambourine locales and strong performances from a cast led by Aussie tyro Ed Oxenbould (The Visit) aren't enough to make up for a tonal palette most charitably described as ambitious.
Oxenbould's first international gig was in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, which might as well be the title of this one. He plays Fin, the recently motherless son of a community college teacher, Alan (The Daughter's Ewen Leslie). Dad is dealing with his grief by sleeping with a student (Sophie Lowe, shading the coquettishness that has become her specialty since Beautiful Kate with sly humor otherwise absent here), while Fin takes refuge at the canopied foot of the titular backyard tree, where he used to hang out with his painter mother.
Expanding on the premise of her 2012 short Beetle Feeders, Cameron's bereft young hero is a budding lepidopterist with a bedroom full of insects on the wall. The odd surrealist touch, in which digital butterflies flit around Fin in azure swirls, underlines his status as a loner with his head in the clouds. Beetle Feeders lenser Jason Hargreaves girds that impression by frequently shooting him from above, as Fin cycles around the lushly green byways of his hometown. These jaunts are accompanied by a medley of pop tracks, from Lene Lovich's 1979 hit "Lucky Number" to contemporary numbers from songbirds such as Gin Wigmore and Shana Halligan.
The boy's hobby provides the pretext for his father's meet-cute with Evelyn (George), after Alan pulls his vintage convertible over to inspect a glass display case she's discarded on the front lawn. Dressed by costume designer Chrissy Flannery in a series of vintage swing dresses and head wraps, Evelyn smokes in her greenhouse while gliding around on roller blades, her hair curled in an updo straight out of Mad Men. Fin first glimpses this mysterious fantasy figure through the window, dancing in her butterfly-winged burlesque costume. Her life on stage is never mentioned, though the pills close to hand hint at one reason for her retirement from it. What little we know hints at past trauma, with Evelyn's abusive ex-husband glimpsed briefly trying to tear the handle off her front door.
When Fin enters her shop, Evelyn offers him a camera and then a job. By way of thanks, the teen swipes a roll of negatives from her desk and has it developed by a moony-eyed girl working at the local chemist (Ella Jaz Macrokanis in a thankless role summarily ditched by the director's script, never to be heard from again). The photos reveal a naked Evelyn in all her considerable glory, and the boy's growing fascination with her is complicated by anger directed at his father for elbowing his way into the picture — and possibly into Evelyn's affections. That jealousy culminates in a double-whammy act of revenge that brings into relief the boy's lingering resentment over his mother's death, which is flashed back to by editor Rodrigo Balart (Red Dog: True Blue) in a moment of horror the hitherto breezy film can't quite pull off.
Ditto's Evelyn's declining physical condition, which Fin seems to consider a selfish inconvenience, obstructing his appreciation of her good looks. The caterpillar-to-butterfly rebirth of Fin and his father is the film's focus, whereas Evelyn's interior life gets short shrift, despite George's best efforts in fleshing out her thinly sketched enigma of a character. As her suitor, Leslie revisits the harried single father role he essayed in David Michôd's Netherland Dwarf, bringing a youthful defensiveness to his portrait of a man in a fugue-state who is confused by his child's rage. Oxenbould himself is a more convincing hangdog than horndog, and just as well; by the end he's gained a mother.

The History Of An Aristocrat's Game: Baccarat
|Best Sellers
Adventure Gear
Extreme and Conventional Sports
Travel Services
Photo and Video
Ecology and Gardening
Related Auctions
Jobs and Employment
Baccarat is a classical game that is being enjoyed by people all across the world for centuries: it originated in Europe as the continent was leaving behind the Black Death, the feudal social system and medieval times. Particularly after the disastrous epidemic that ravaged the world during part of the fourteenth century, killing about fifty million souls - half the population of the globe -, the way in which the average European looked upon life, the universe and everything experienced a major shift.
The Black Death was a particularly noxious cocktail of common bubonic plague (Pasteurella pestis), which is quite lethal alone, accompanied by a neumonic variant that is even worse, and a third, neurological and septicemic form that is not known from any other occurrence of bubonic plague through history. The plague was arguably the most dreadful mass destruction scenario confronted by human beings all thorough the history of our species. It began in Central Asia and then all around the continent until it reached Europe, wiping out entire cities, the fabric of society, economy and even military might. Desperate people tried to find anything that could help them, but to no avail, while others just tried to entertain themselves, waiting for death to come to their homes, playing forbidden games and listening or reading - in a few cases - satirical works like the Decameron: indeed, a paradigm shift was in order.
As it happens quite often, civil and ecclesiastical authorities, the affluent ones and those who had any means available, fled urban areas and into the woods, or rural retreats, having observed that the mortality rate in towns and villages often surpassed 50% of the population. Only in a few places in Europe, like in the eastern part of nowadays Germany and Poland (Silesia) the plague spared most people: those who fled died anyway in most cases but the serfs and freemen abandoned to their own devices felt very upset as they saw those very leaders that a few weeks before were attempting by all means to take all the possible tax money from everyone, began fleeing as cowards. Indeed, that hasn't changed, and one just has to remember that movie where Dr. Strangelove describes how the world would get on its feet again after a nuclear holocaust to see what those medievals were left with.
Surely enough, later on those cowards who fled came back to claim political powers, but the mood had changed, and the new mood was what produced things from games like Baccarat to the printing machine; that is essentially what took Europe out of the dark. It really came out of medieval times not because of political actions, but by opposition to them, a clue to the fact that politics is nothing nice and nothing good but an inevitable fact of life like manure.
Europe had been centred around religion and religious values since the fall of the Roman Empire, or about a millennium, and that way of understanding reality was already overused: but when the Black Death reached Europe and people attempted to save themselves by praying - the only method they could come up with -, to no avail, they became somewhat disenchanted with God but mostly, with religion and their rules who could not and would not give them any solution in most cases. So once that survival was assured after the emergency, and as society began to reconstruct itself, things began to change. One of those changes had to do with gambling and taxes, for after wholesale death there was no way to collect taxes except by stimulating all sorts of games associated to betting and gambling.
Thus, even the Church went into the gambling business for a while, as people preferred to throw dice and use cards instead of going to mass, and little by little certain games evolved and began to take shape, and one of those was an Italian game that we today know as Baccarat and became very quickly the table entertainment of aristocrats and the wealthy, and among these influential people were merchants that took it to the rest of the continent and even to the Middle East. About Baccarat there is a lot of information and it would be impossible to write everything into this single article, so if you want to read more or if you want to play the game right now, I invite you to follow these links:

Drawing faces in my art journal
I am having a lot of fun in my art journal lately. I love to add a quick sketch of a face to an abstract background and let some of the marks and layers show through. This face was done in my 5.5" x 8.5" Strathmore mixed media art journal. I always keep journals of various sizes on hand while I'm creating. I like to work in several journals at a time, going back and forth between two or even three of them at a time! It helps keep me going and creating without having to wait for layers to dry.
I start most of my pages the same way, by adding marks with pens, oil pastels and paint markers. Then adding collage, spray ink, watercolors, etc. I try to let some layers dry in between--you wouldn't want to try to collage over wet areas, for example (although, if you're in a hurry, you CAN use wet paint as a kind of "glue" and that always has an interesting look of its own!)
Next, I'll draw right over the top with my stabilo pencil and fill in the face with Shiva oil paintsticks (usually a little bit of titanium white, blend it with my finger and then yellow ochre in the darkest areas of the face--sides of the nose, under the nose, under the bottom lip, sides of the face and the hairline, and under the chin on the neck--and blend in again. You can also add white again on top for the highlights: bride and tip of the nose, cheekbones, forehead, chin, eyelids, bottom lip--these are the parts of the face that stick out more.
Then I'll go in with my stabilo again and redraw any parts of the face that might have been covered up with the oil paintsticks. I'll also add details to the eyes with paint pens (you can also just use acrylic paint--something opaque that will allow the eyes to really stand out). I'll darken the hair with watercolor (or just add water to the stabilo pencil and let some of it drip down the page). Collage bits are also fun at this stage.
You can view how I draw faces in my art journal by going to these blog posts or by visiting my Youtube channel. Or you can join me in an in-person workshop by visiting my workshop page.
Thanks and happy creating!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Thursday revised Nissan Motor Co.'s NSANY, +1.15% outlook to negative from stable and affirmed its BBB+ long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings, as well as its A-2 short-term rating. "The outlook revision reflects our concern over deterioration in Nissan's profitability and cash flow and the challenges the company faces in improving its financial performance amid the rapidly weakening conditions in most major global vehicle markets," said Chizuko Satsukawa, S&P's credit analyst. Still, the ratings agency said Nissan's financial profile is strong for the rating and its liquidity is satisfactory.

"Hamilton" is one of the most successful productions in modern musical theater history. The epic hip hop and rap musical has had an indelible impact on pop culture, breaking the Broadway box office in the process.
During Thanksgiving week 2016, "Hamilton" grossed $3.3 million for an eight performance week, becoming the first show to break $3 million in eight performances. While it's easy to declare "Hamilton" a no-brainer home run now, success was far from guaranteed.
In an interview with Yahoo Finance, Miranda details the biggest lesson he took away from writing the Tony award-winning musical.
"You have to listen to your gut… even though everyone tells you it's a crazy fucking idea.. No one reads Hamilton and thinks about a hip hop story of the founding fathers. I thought everyone was crazy for not having written it. How can they not see that? I very quickly realized I needed to write it," he said.
Miranda first performed the first few lyrics of Alexander Hamilton in 2009 — at the White House in front of Michelle and Barack Obama. Michelle has called "Hamilton" the best art she's seen in her life. She reiterates this in her new book, "Becoming," though she admits that she was skeptical about how something as dry as the history of the founding fathers could be made into a full-fledged musical.
"[Miranda] said he was gonna perform a piece on Alexander Hamilton. And Barack and I almost laughed in his face. And he went out and performed the first number of the now award winning musical. And afterwards he said, "I think I'm gonna go and turn this into a Broadway show," she said in an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts.
Another important layer to the process is the necessity to recognize the power of rest. Miranda read Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton on vacation.
"Whenever my life gets too hectic and I feel like I'm piling on too much, I remind myself that the best idea came to me when I took a fucking break. I believe that you have to listen to the idea that demands to be written," he said.

I have really enjoyed some of the sweet vermouths I have been using for mixing and I always make sure to try a little on its own. Tonight I finally opened the small bottle of Carpano Antica I had bought a couple weeks ago, the aroma is beguiling. Anything else I need to try?

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice director Zack Snyder claims the "real" Doomsday still exists somewhere within the DCEU. After rebooting Superman with 2013's Man Of Steel, Snyder was tasked with heading up DC's burgeoning cinematic universe. The filmmaker had always been a big fan of Batman, so it was a natural decision to pair the two icons together on the big screen for the very first time with BVS.
Snyder was given free reign creatively on Batman V Superman, but upon release, the film received some harsh critical feedback on several fronts, including the relentlessly dark tone, the sometimes-muddled narrative and Jesse Eisenberg's irritatingly quirky performance as Lex Luthor. The response to the movie is said to have worried the studio, who second-guessed Snyder's plan for Justice League and the larger franchise. The director stepped away from Justice League after delivering an early cut, and Joss Whedon was brought on to reshape the movie, but it still proved to be a box office letdown for Warner Bros.
Related: What Was Zack Snyder's Original 5 Movie DCEU Plan?
Batman V Superman also featured an adaptation of the classic comic storyline The Death Of Superman, where the Man of Steel is killed following a battle with vicious alien-killing machine Doomsday. The character appeared in the finale of Snyder's film as the result of Lex Luthor carrying out experiments on General Zod's corpse and Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman team up to stop it - at the cost of Superman's life.
A fan named Maroof Husain recently asked Zack Snyder on his Vero account if the "real" version of Doomsday still existed, and the director confirmed he's still around somewhere:
The Death Of Superman quickly became an iconic storyline, and several attempts at adapting it into a movie were mounted years before Batman V Superman. The most famous would be Tim Burton's Superman Lives, where Nicolas Cage's Superman would be killed by Doomsday around the midway point, only to be resurrected with Krypton technology and face off with true villain Brainiac. Sadly, a ballooning budget and a number of costly flops at Warner Bros led to the movie being cancelled.
Many fans felt Batman V Superman's take on Doomsday was disappointing, and resembled some kind of CGI troll from The Hobbit trilogy instead. They may take some comfort in knowing the true vision of Doomsday is out there somewhere in the DCEU, but given that the franchise has already killed Superman once, it feels unlikely the beast will make an appearance in the near future. The next movie for the Superman himself has yet to be decided, though recent rumors suggest Henry Cavill will play a big role in the DCEU moving forward.

Event Tech: How New Evernote Upgrades Can Help Your Business (For Free)
While event planners have an almost unlimited range of apps and programs at their fingertips, one of the most popular is a free multimedia tool called Evernote. Event tech specialist Corbin Ball has recommended the platform for years, calling it "the perfect site inspection app:" Using a smart phone or tablet, planners can take pictures of a meetings space, take voice notes and enter text—all of which syncs automatically with their other devices (notebook computer, phone, tablet computer and the web) and can be shared with other members of the team for instant collaboration.
And as tech website Mashable reported today, the app's collaboration tools are improving: On Thursday at the company's EC4 conference in San Francisco, Evernote CEO Phil Libin unveiled a series of new offerings, including two new features called Context and Work Chat.
As users type a new note, Context brings up information—including previous notes and news articles—relevant to the project. "If you're an Evernote Business user, we search through accessible notebooks owned by your colleagues to find any relevant notes about the task at hand," the Evernote Blog explained. "This helps you avoid repeating someone else's work. In addition, our Expertise Discovery feature will show you people in your company that we believe may know more about the topic you're working on. That person sitting two rows away might be the critical resource you need."
Context also incorporates contact information for users who are members of business-focused social media site LinkedIn. Back in May, Evernote partnered with LinkedIn to let users take photos of business cards and automatically add the contact on the networking site. LinkedIn members can use Evernote to view profile photos, job titles and company information from the networking site right in the notes created when they scan business cards and enter comments related to the scanned card and geo-tag the location where the card was scanned. Watch the tutorial:
Work Chat, meanwhile is a set of new collaboration and chat tools that pop up when multiple collaborators are viewing shared documents at the same time—for example, when one member of a team is on a site inspection or meeting and the rest of the team is following the notes and pictures in real time, or when organizers on-site need to share information from across the room instantly. It also allows collaborators to chat within shared documents, similar to Google Drive's chat features.
Mashable notes that both Context and Work Chat will available on Evernote's iOS, Android, Mac and web app later this year.
To further streamline the notes and images into one platform, the company is also releasing a new version of Evernote's Presentation Mode, which automatically creates PowerPoint-style presentations with content saved in Evernote, including photos, notes, tables and maps.

During the years of war and negotiations, the allies of the Syrian worked on decreasing political pressures on them by selling promises. They'd say: "Don't worry. We are seriously thinking about letting go of Bashar al-Assad as president and ending the fighting."
So long as the Iranians' losses in Syria are related to personnel who are not Iranians and as long as the political cost is low, they will continue to work on their regional project and the war will thus go on for yearsAbdulrahman al-Rashed

A couple of weeks ago, my son phoned home. (he's the 18 year old Obnoxious One attending university in Ontario.) Surprisingly enough, he's actually very good about calling home on a regular basis. Anyways, this time he let a bomb drop. "Hey guys, did you know that your daughter has a boyfriend?"
Dead silence. Ah no…no clue. And how did he know?
"I saw it on Facebook – she changed her status."
Social media strikes again. (see You did what?! )
I made my husband approach our 16 year old daughter, the Demon Child first. I'm not stupid – I figured she would bite his head off and then I'd approach. "Yes Dad, I do have a boyfriend and have had for a couple of weeks. I was going to tell you …"
My turn next. "So darling, you have a boyfriend? What's his name?"
Let's call him Brandon. Over the next couple of days, I was able to glean little snippets of information here and there. For example, she met him in August through mutual friends. He's a nice guy, lives in West Vancouver with his parents and younger sister . So why didn't she tell us sooner?
"Mom, you always tell everyone everything." whoops – shhh…please don't tell anyone about this post !
"So what does he do? Is he at your school? In your year?"
"Nope. He goes to university – he's in first year and graduated last year from high school, just like my brother." Holy crap, an older man. "But don't worry mom, he's really immature – he has to be to go out with me. And when we're together we're really weird. We like the same music and movies. Heck, he even likes The Lion King."
"Are you sure he's not a drug dealer?" Don't laugh – it's not beyond the realm of possibility in West Van.
"No mom. We've spent a lot of time together talking so I know him pretty well. There's no way."
"Are you sure?"
"Mom, this is why I don't tell you anything. You're so annoying." Okay, so I backed off…for a few hours.
"Am I ever going to meet this guy?"
"Yes mom. Just be patient."
In the meantime I sent a text to my son giving him the latest details. He was not amused. In fact, he threatened to take a nine iron to the guy. Other words were expressed as well, but none that I can repeat here.
Well that happened a couple of weeks ago and I still haven't met him. I really am trying to be patient, but Valentine's Day is coming, so I'm starting to panic. I mean this is the first time she's had a boyfriend for longer than a week, and the first Valentine's Day with a guy. I just hope the Demon Child doesn't go crazy.
Fast forward to last night. After spending a couple of hours with Brandon, she came home quite pleased with herself. Apparently they hung out at Starbucks for a while, and then she bought his Valentine's Day present at Shoppers Drug Mart. She was excited about her purchase and anxious to show me.
Well, now I can breathe easy. Now I understand everything she said. Why? She bought him a dancing and singing rock 'n roll turtle plus a chocolate Santa. If that isn't true love then I don't know what is – at least for the Demon Child.
By the way, my son, the Obnoxious One also called last night. He's planning to take his girlfriend Coco (see OMG – Her parents are fond of the Obnoxious One ) out to dinner at the nicest, most expensive restaurant in town, plus he's ordered her a dozen red roses.
Sometimes it's hard to believe my two kids are related. Really!
