There was a beautiful despatch by Barkha Dutt of NDTV from Cairo on March 1 as to how the Twitter had played a role in facilitating the evacuation of a group of stranded Indians from Eastern Libya through Egypt and the humanitarian assistance which they had received from the Pakistanis living in East Libya. One of the Indians from Kerala stranded in East Libya had tweeted the Foreign Minister, the Foreign Secretary, Shri Shashi Tharoor, MP, and Barkha seeking assistance. This set in motion the train of events that led to their crossing over into Egypt from East Libya and safe evacuation to India, thanks to the tremendous work put in by the Indian Embassy in Cairo ably headed by Shri Swaminathan, the Ambassador. Barkha and two of her technical crew from NDTV (Manoj and Ruby Dingra) were in Cairo to cover the event for NDTV.
2.After doing their reportage from Cairo, they decided to try their luck and make a 700-km, 15-hour dash to the Libyan border in order to enter the country with the help of one of Barkha's contacts in the anti-Gaddafi rebel set-up in East Libya with its headquarters at Benghazi . The NDTV team, headed by Barkha, had two options---either enter Libya legally via Tripoli with valid visas or enter clandestinely via Egypt without visas despite the warning issued by the Libyan Government that anyone entering via East Libya without visas would be considered an "outlaw" .
3. The Libyan Government had initially banned all journalists from entering Libya. After some journalists belonging to the "Guardian" of London, the CNN and the BBC had clandestinely entered from Egypt, it relaxed the ban and decided to issue visas to journalists from the BBC, the CNN, Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya only. Since Indian journalists were not covered by this relaxation, Barkha and her team decided to try their luck from the Egyptian border and enter without a visa with the help of Barkha's contact in the rebel set-up.
4. Barkha and her NDTV team made their way through nearly 700 kms of beautiful desert made famous during the second World War by the epic tank battle at El Alamein between the allied forces commanded by Field Marshal Montgomery and the Nazi German forces commanded by FM Rommel. Barkha has over 200,000 followers in her Twitter site. I am one of them. I keep exchanging Tweets with her from time to time on current developments.
5. On March 1, as the whole of India was still engrossed in watching the TV coverage of the Central budget, I and many others were excitedly keeping track of the team of Barkha as it made its way through the desert. The Twitter enabled us to follow Barkha and her team for nearly seven hours of their 15-hour journey. We kept encouraging her through Tweets and E-mails and advising her and her team to take good care of themselves and not to walk into a trap. I was touched by the gesture of even some critics of Barkha in praying for the safety of the team. One of her critics tweeted her: "May not agree with her opinions on matters ..but safety is paramount ..I pray for her safety". There were so many others who prayed for their safety." I tweeted Barkha: " U see how many well-wishers U have in the sub-continent."
6. Even people in Pakistan tweeted her "good luck." Ms. Munizae Jahangir, a journalist, who is the proud daughter of Mrs.Asma Jahangir, the famous Pakistani human rights activist, tweeted Barkha to say that she was E-mailing to her the telephone numbers of some Pakistanis in Libya whom she could contact if she needed any assistance.
7. One of the constant worries of Barkha's Twitterati was about the reliability of their communication equipment. Was it reliable? Was it good? Was it strong enough for its signals to reach India. One of the Twitterati, probably based in the US, asked Barkha what communication set she was carrying. Barkha tweeted back: "vodaphone. Don't know how much longer phones will work."
8. There were so many Tweeters who were wanting and willing to help in whatever way they can. I tried to collect some topographic data about East Libya from the Internet so that I could tweet it to her. I could not get much. I tweeted my exasperation. One of the tweeters, who saw my tweet to Barkha, asked me : "what kind of information you are looking for." I tweeted to him: "Looking for alternate ways of reaching Benghazi from Egyptian border---distances involved etc." After a few minutes, he tweeted back URL details of sites containing Libyan maps.
9.In the meanwhile, Barkha tweeted to all her friends: "Leaving behind last city of marsa matrouh.libyan border 100kms away.ravaged nation on other side." I collected some details of this city from the Wikipedia and tweeted them to her. The person, who had collected details of sites carrying Libyan maps, tweeted to Barkha with copy to me: "Go to el salaum , its between Libya & Egypt, you will get a Bus for Benghazi from there . Still working , am told." He subsequently tweeted the telephone number of a border post where Barkha could any assistance she wanted.
10. At around 10 PM on March 1, we lost all contact with her. I don't know why. Before this communication black-out occurred, I managed to send two Tweets to Barkha. In the first Tweet, I told her she should remain in touch with the Indian Ambassador in Cairo. I tweeted: " He is a nice guy, am told. People talk highly of him." Barkha tweeted back: "yes he is very nice."
11. An Indian lady living in Egypt, who had seen my Tweet to Barkha about the Ambassador, tweeted Barkha with copy to me: "Mr. Swaminathan is really a gem of a person , I agree. I live in Egypt , am constantly in touch with him."
12. My last Tweet to Barkha read: "Conserve your battery.Good night." She did not acknowledge it. I was not sure whether it reached her. I was very tense. I couldn't sleep. Every 60 minutes or so, I would get out of bed, go online and check whether there was any message or Tweet from Barkha. Nothing. From around 10 PM to 5-40 AM, no communication with her. I really got worried. As I got out of bed at about 5.40 AM to check once again, I told myself that I would alert the Foreign Secretary and the Ambassador if there was still no communication from her.
13. As I went online, my heart jumped with joy. There was an E-mail from Barkha: "We made it. We have entered Libya." I E-mailed her: "Am thrilled. And worried. Take good care of yourself ."
14. And, I went to sleep after remaining awake the whole night. (3-3-11)

just watched her report on NDTV and looking at the beautiful desert trip that Barkha and her team made at nite against all odds from one tough country to another, filled me with a lot of happiness and pride.
Especially in the light of what transpired with Ms Lara Logan, enough to put off any woman from daring to dive in!
Did not realize you were also party to this adventure :)
Whatever be her faults, she is one brave woman!
thank you!

I am a critic of Barkha. I hope and pray she does not come back. Please include this in your next report on Barkha. You may title it "Hindutva Storm-troopers are back".

Just not interested in Barkha. If she wants to regain her credibility.. she needs to do investigative journalism or atleast ask pointed questions from the corrupt in govt.
Going to Egypt.. Libya.. though brave but won't cut any ice whatsoever with most of us.

Egypt and Lybia!!! Damn!! Which lobbyist paid for those news? I mean, lobyists in India or Egypt/Lybia? I seriously pray that revolutions keep happening in that area. There is a big chance that she would be out of the country for an year and Indian media would get a chance to change itself!! Wishful thinking? You bet.

Not sure why you are such a big fan of BDutt..whats the big deal in journalists going to a warzone to cover stories? Its their job...and by choice...she loves to be the 'hero'
How does this change the fact that she was a go-between for a possible spy turned lobbyist to influence who becomes the telecom minister...man sitting in jail after digesting INR 3000 cr bribes...maybe she should be in Tihar rather than Libya.
I wont be watching her dash in and out of Libya...however good the story might be...

It is sad to see such blatant favoritism. The trip was possibly aided by Govt machinery. At the same time everyone ignores the journey of Kashid Khusro who made it to Libya and reported for Times Now from Libya. he was also first in Cairo and did a fuller report than Barkha

Ridiculous i can see that Raman is a part of the Congress led media group butsuch blatant blog posts!!! all to revive the credibility of a corrupt journalist while the reports of other channels were completely ignored,Raman Sir wat the hell happened to you ,is this how you served your time in the Indian intelligence no wonder why our intelligence bureau is so incompetent.Learn from the CIA they are apolitical with a singular goal of protecting the nation and they will stop at no end to achieve that whereas people like Raman who clearly have a political bias lead to intelligence failures.
They didnt see terrorists conducting a commando style attack in Mumbai,they couldnt predict the Maoist uprising.they couldnt even see the new hindu fanatical terror groups threatening to evolve.
The Future looks bleak for us with such pathetic incompetent intelligence officers who seem to lose sleep over a biased journalist in a foreign land.Another 100 years of terrorism awaits India. May god help us
By the way why dont you just tweet your favorite movie to Barkha as well !!

Back tension knots pertain to the muscle knots that develop as a result of prolonged tension on the back. Muscle knots are hard and tensed muscles that are located at the back that may develop over time or sudden. These back tension knots results in significant pain and discomfort in the back. Back tension knots got its name from the discomfort it provides, which makes you feel as if your muscles are tied in knots.
According to the National Institute of Health., back tension knots are very common that may affect more than 50% of adults. Back tension knots are most commonly mild and can be reduced using remedies; however, when these worsen and does not resolve, it becomes a sign of myofascial pain syndrome. Back tension knots can also come in the form of muscle spasms in the back or the presence of scar tissue in the muscles that makes the area tough and painful.
Causes of Back tension Knots
Back tension knots have various causes. One of which is sports-specific back tension knots that results from the development of scar tissues from muscle overuse.
In non-athletic people, back tension knots are most commonly caused by poor posture as well as working in front of the computer for prolonged periods that leads to back tension. The main mechanism of forming back tension knots is the pull of gravity that allows the muscles to maintain an abnormal position. The presence of muscle asymmetry causes the scar tissues to build up on one area leading to back tension knots.
Another cause of back tension knots includes trauma to the muscles as a result of injury, falls or any kind of trauma that may affect the muscles at the back. This leads to acute muscle knots as a result of muscle spasms.
In conclusion, back tension knots are caused by overuse of muscles, poor posture or ergonomics and mechanical problems.
Treatments of Back Tension Knots
Back tension knots can be alleviated using home remedies as well as lifestyle modifications. Some mild form may even fade away over days without management. Home remedies may include hot showers to help relax the muscles on the back. Ice packs may also help relive muscle aches. Some people benefit from back and neck stretches to increase the flexibility of the muscles and break the muscle knots. When engaging in high impact activities or sports, it is also essential to take some time of rest to allow the muscles to rest.
One effective remedy for back tension knots involves the use of foam rollers. Rolling your back against the foam roller using your body weight usually breaks the tension knots at the back.
Having a back massage also helps in relieving back tension knots. Masseurs are usually trained in breaking these knots through various massage strokes. Also, seek consult from a chiropractor to help you manage back tension knots in a professional, non-medical way, such as with Dr. Mohr, your local Wesley Chapel chiropractor, and schedule your massage in the very same office. When conservative care tends to fail, taking over the counter analgesics or anti-inflammatory drug may help relieve the pain until the tension knots disappear.
Having a good posture, avoiding overuse of muscles, and having adequate warm up before any exercise usually prevent back tension knots.

South Koreans gather near Japan embassy to mourn sex slave
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Hundreds of mourners gathered Friday near the Japanese Embassy in Seoul for the funeral of a South Korean woman forced as a girl into brothels and sexually enslaved by the Japanese military in WWII.
The mourners, dressed mostly in black on a bitterly cold morning and holding paper cutouts of yellow butterflies, followed a hearse carrying Kim Bok-dong that stopped in front of a bronze statue of a girl representing the thousands of Asian women experts say the Japanese military forced into front-line brothels as it pursued colonial ambitions.
The scene near the embassy was the culmination of an hours-long march that wrapped up five days commemorating Kim, who had regularly led the rallies to demand that Japan more fully acknowledge the suffering of the so-called "comfort women," the euphemism given to the women by the Japanese and embraced by some of the dwindling number of victims over the term "sex slave."
Japanese leaders have repeatedly offered apologies or expressions of remorse, but many of the women and their supporters want reparations from Tokyo and a fuller apology. Of the 239 Korean women who have come forward as victims, only 23 are still alive.
Kim, who died at age 92 on Monday and had been suffering from cancer, had been a beloved leader of the protest movement, often sitting beside the bronze statue at weekly rallies that have been held since 1992 on a strip of sidewalk across from the site of the embassy.
Her death has been met with grief around South Korea, with President Moon Jae-in crediting her relentless advocacy for giving South Koreans the "braveness to face the truth."
As the limousine carrying Kim's remains slowly rolled up to the statue Friday morning, mourners carried 94 vertical funeral banners that represented Kim's age when counted in the traditional Korean manner and were marked with phrases thanking Kim and demanding Japanese reparations and remorse.
Many people cried during the march that started at City Hall. Led by an activist who shouted into a microphone from a truck, the marchers chanted anti-Japan slogans such as "Japan formally apologize!" and "Japan provide formal compensation!"
"You always looked out for her and now grandma (Kim) is at a good place," said a tearful Lee Yong-su, another former sex slave, as she sat beside the statue and stroked its cheek and arms. "I feel very sorry and sad. We all know that voice that would shout (during rallies). She can shout no more and she never received a formal apology."
Yoon Meehyang, who heads an activist group representing South Korean victims of Japan, said Kim "overcame the war and also the Korean society patriarchal prejudice" with her campaign that highlighted the suffering of women during war.
"Let us all become Kim Bok-dong," Yoon said. "When the remaining number of victims becomes zero and the Japanese government feels relieved, we hope to see hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions of butterflies around the world shouting (in Kim's voice) 'Listen, Japanese government!,' 'Listen, criminals of war!'"
Born in the South Korean town of Yangsan, Kim was dragged away from home at the age of 14 and forced to have sex with Japanese soldiers at military brothels in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore from 1940 to 1945. She was one of the first victims to speak out in the early 1990s and break decades of silence over Japan's wartime sexual slavery.
Kim traveled around the world testifying about her experience, including at the United Nations World Conference on Human Rights in 1993 and at a U.N. Human Rights Council panel in 2016.
Kim never married or had children.
"It's heartbreaking and I feel sorry that she died without ever getting what she pushed for," said Kim Hyeon-ah, 37, who said she took her morning hours off at work to participate in Kim's funeral. "We come from a generation that didn't experience war and we are grateful that Kim taught us how the human rights of women become vulnerable during wartime."
A 1991-1993 Japanese government investigation concluded that many of the women were recruited against their will, leading to a landmark Japanese apology, although the investigation found no written proof in official documents.
Many South Koreans say past Japanese apologies didn't go far enough. There's also a sentiment that Tokyo's past statements have been weakened by conservative Japanese leaders who have argued that the women weren't coerced.
Japan insists that all wartime compensation issues were settled in a 1965 treaty that restored diplomatic ties between the countries and was accompanied by more than $800 million in economic aid and loans from Tokyo to Seoul, which was then under a military dictatorship. In recent years, South Korean courts, which are now fully independent, have ruled that the treaty cannot block the constitutional rights of individuals seeking reparations from Japan.
Kim's death comes as relations between South Korea and Japan have sunk to their lowest point in years amid disputes over wartime history, which also includes Japan's refusal to compensate forced Korean laborers during its colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 through 1945.
Moon's government in November announced plans to dissolve a foundation funded by Japan to provide payments to South Korean sexual slavery victims, which if carried out would effectively kill a controversial 2015 agreement between the countries to settle a decades-long impasse over the issue.
Many in South Korea believed that Seoul's previous conservative government settled for far too less in a deal where Tokyo agreed to fund the foundation with 1 billion yen ($9 million). There's also criticism that Japan still hasn't acknowledged legal responsibility for atrocities during its colonial occupation of Korea.
Japan had said it didn't consider the money it provided to the fund as formal compensation, repeating its stance that all wartime compensation issues were settled in the 1965 treaty.

Princess Twilight Sparkle!
Posted by impossiblyalice in Current, Life Stories on October 31, 2013
My daughter wanted to be Princess Twilight Sparkle for Halloween this year. I was determined to make her the costume.
First off, who is Princess Twilight Sparkle? She is the main pony in the latest generation of My Little Pony (called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic). My Little Pony is seriously an awesome show. I do not know which one of us enjoys it more! The theme song is the first song my baby boy ever recognized. She was a unicorn, but in the last episode of the most recent season, she became an alicorn princess. An alicorn is basically a unicorn with wings.
I sewed the dress at my mom`s house using her sewing machine. I am not really one who sews so this is a Big Deal for me. I had my mom on hand for any mishaps. Luckily there were not too many, and they were mostly sewing machine related. I sewed the whole thing myself. I proudly brought the dress home and it was way too small for a fabric with no give. So off to my mom`s house the next weekend to sew a second dress. I did everything but the hem on this dress because I was running out of time and had to go home and make supper.
At home I cut a cutie mark out of felt and used my rudimentary hand sewing skills to attach it to the dress. I also made the yarn wig and tail and sewed the tail on the dress.
The tiara and ears were store-bought. The wings were ones from my daughter`s stash of fairy things.
My daughter was so excited to wear this to daycare today which makes me so happy because it is the first awesome Halloween costume I have made for her! She also believes I can make everything. Last night she decided she wanted me to be Princess Celestia (Twilight Sparkle`s teacher and mentor) and her Daddy to be a crab. She thought I could knit us both these costumes in time for today. I love that she believes I can do everything!
Christmas Knitting!
Posted by impossiblyalice in knit on October 25, 2013
I hope I have not taken on more than I can chew, or knit. I have decided to knit Christmas gifts this year (and some birthday knits).
First up is my first finished Christmas knit.
This is my Thistle scarf by Tin Can Knits. They are having a KAL from September 15 to November 15 so I thought it was the perfect time to knit this scarf! I managed to get my hands on 2 precious skeins of the March 2011 colour from Tanis Fiber Arts Year in Colour Club! It is Purple Label and the colour is called Clover. The Purple Label is an incredibly soft fingering weight composed of 70% merino, 20% cashmere, and 10% nylon. It is for someone who loves the colour green.
I am also making a Fino Circle Scarf for someone this year!
I was originally going to make another Thistle with this yarn but one of the skeins was not subtly variegated and it looked terrible (and that is me being polite). The recipient likes circle scarves and I can easily knit this while watching swimming lessons and ballet class and I can knit it on the bus when I go back to work (EEP). Because the skeins are too different from each other, I have decided to put a subtle stripe in this but alternating the skeins every 11 rows. I think I like it. I hope the recipient does. It is made from Manos Del Uruguay Fino which is a single ply fingering weight which is 70% merino and 30% silk. It is so soft and drapey. The one suggestion I have if you are going to knit with this is DO NOT USE A CENTRE PULL BALL. Take the yarn from the outside. It catches and gets stuck on itself like nobody`s business. I bought this yarn at Wolseley Wool, they had a lot of beautiful colours when I was in the store but I was looking for a more neutral colour.
My final project that I have started is a Fairy Mist Cowl.
This is the only project so far where I bought the skein first and then had to find a pattern. I got it in the Tanis Fiber Arts OOAK sale in September. It is a Pink Label called Turnover and it has beautiful pops of teal and purple and grey and a lot of other subtle colours. I do not have a fancy enough camera to capture the beauty of the yarn. The colours are perfect for the recipient but I had to find a pattern where the yarn and the pattern do not compete with each other. I also had to find a pattern that has more interest than just plain stockinette stitch because there is only so much of that I can do!
I have more Christmas knitting planned! I hope I can get to it all!
Are you doing any Christmas knitting?
July Knitting Updates
Posted by impossiblyalice in knit on July 30, 2013
I have been busy knitting this month.
I have a Snowflake for my daughter that needs a placket, buttons, and ends sewn in.
This is knit out of Berroco Vintage DK in Dewberry which is a bright pinky/purple colour and a cream or light brown colour that I think it called mushroom. If you have any button recommendations for buttons for this one or the one for myself, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I've been looking but haven't found anything yet.
I made a Milo for the baby to wear this fall/winter.
I love the Milo because it is a great piece to put over anything and goes with anything. We walk to daycare and it can get VERY cold here so any bit of extra warmth is always welcome! I had almost exactly enough left from my Dewey to make this. There is just tiny bit left.
I did my first test knit. I made a pirate pig for the baby, my daughter wants one now!
It was fun to test this pattern! It is well written and has a stuffing technique I have never used before that I love! I am going to use a version of it for all future toys I knit. And! This is the first time a project photo of mine was used in the pattern page!
And here is the final product of the Dewey I made for the baby.
I love how this looks on my boy! This pattern was supposed to be knit in a fingering weight but I converted it to a DK weight for a faster knit! If you are interested, please look at my project page for notes on my calculations. I love how wide the neck is. I love the cable. I love the yarn. I love every but the sleeves. I with I gave it more ease at the armpits.
Here is the Dewey in action at the cottage on the July long weekend! The baby cannot stay still now!!! He sure keeps me on my toes because his favourite things to play with are things that he shouldn't be playing with!
Summer Scarf in the Top 10 Accessories!
Posted by impossiblyalice in Etsy on April 7, 2011

Awesome! 😀
New Spring Items and Fixing Up Photos
Posted by impossiblyalice in Etsy on March 19, 2011
I've worked hard on making new and exciting listings for my Etsy shop.
I've got some new spring colours of fingerless gloves and more to come in the next few days. These gloves are so soft and cozy, everyone who touches one immediately comments on how soft they are! They are perfect to wear in the spring for bike rides, for busy parents who need free fingers but want to keep their hands warm, and for people who love to use their iPhones, iPods, blackberries, etc. They are also awesome to wear when the weather starts getting warmer and they turn on the air conditioner in your office so your hands don't freeze while you work on your computer!
I've also listed new spring or summer scarves with more styles to come! These scarves are made from fair trade handspun yarn from Nepal and India. The banana fibre scarves are also vegan friendly and eco-friendly because it is made out of a renewable resource. Please read my first post on banana fibre. Despite the name, the recycled sari silk is made out of entirely new fabric. The recycled sari silk is scrap fabric left over from making saris. This means that these scarves are also eco-friendly because you are preventing this material from going to landfills.
I've also fixed up the pictures for one of my favourite cowls in my shop. Not to pat myself on my own back too much, but one of my Etsy friends thought that it was a completely new listing! This cowl is so long that you can wrap it around your next 3 times when it's cold outside. Because it is so stretchy and long, you can use your imagination and wear it any way you can think of! It would also be a perfect blanket like shawl to keep at the office in those cold air conditioning months!
The biggest challenge I have as a knitter is to knit items that are not meant for fall and winter. I am excited to announce that I am working on some new designs for listings in my shop that are not season dependent! I hope that these new designs work out as great as I am envisioning them in my head so I can introduce them to you ASAP!
I've also got my first set of business cards and they are so beautiful! I'd love to start sharing them with you!
Spring Is Here!
Posted by impossiblyalice in Etsy on February 13, 2011
Spring is here! Or at least at Impossibly Alice on Etsy. This weekend, I listed my first spring/summer scarf. Head over there and check it out.
This scarf is loose and airy, perfect for wearing in the spring and summer! It is a gorgeous shade of teal. And the best part? I knit this scarf our of fair trade handspun banana fibre. That means that by wearing it, you are helping women in Nepal work towards a better life for themselves and their families, and you are wearing an eco-friendly renewable resource. This yarn is actually made from harvesting the bark from banana trees. You will not believe how soft and silky it feels.
Go and check it out! In the coming weeks, I will be listing more spring and summer scarves in more colours and styles.
A Little Pick Me Up
Posted by impossiblyalice in Etsy on January 29, 2011
I needed a bit of a boost this weekend after adjusting to waking up before the crack of dawn, and being away from my little girl all day. It came in the form of being on the Etsy front page in a stunning treasury by the wonderful Rolling Hills Vintage! She included my taupe mobius cowl in this treasury.
What makes this cowl special? It is made out of very soft undyed fair trade wool that was handspun in a women's collective in Uruguay! You are stylish, keep warm, and be globally conscious all at the same time when you wear it.
Pay It Forward Friday: Knitting!
Posted by impossiblyalice in Pay It Forward Friday on December 10, 2010
I love knitting. I love other people's knitting. I love Etsy. Here's some of my favourites!
Can you believe that this gorgeous shop has less than 20 sales? I am in awe of the beauty of this shop. If you see something you like, I recommend that you buy it asap because everything in her shop is either a one of a kind piece or a limited edition! Irene is a fashion design student and if her shop is any indication, she has a great career ahead of her!
Here is another beautiful shop that, surprisingly, has less than 20 sales! This shop is very diverse and fun with its offerings. It also offers one of a kind, unique, and original designs so if you see something you love, you better buy it right away! The designer is also a knitting instructor at her LYS in Pennsylvania. Her designs are inspired by nature and are completely beautiful.
The third shop I was going to feature is on vacation and then I remembered this beautiful shop! All of the lovely items in this shop are handknit by Sunhee Bang. She is an awesome fashion designer who has already embarked on a great career. You can learn more about her at her website. I absolutely love the chunkiness and warmth of her scarves and hats on Etsy.
Do you know of any awesome knitting shops you want to share with me?
My First Front Page on Etsy!
Posted by impossiblyalice in Uncategorized on October 18, 2010
This is a quick note to announce that one of my items was on the front page of Etsy for the first time EVER! It was at 5:00 am EST so there weren't too many shoppers around then o it didn't sell but I got a bunch of shop and item hearts I would have not gotten otherwise!
I also had a treasury I made on the front page of Etsy this afternoon!
What I Love About Autumn
Posted by impossiblyalice in Current, Life Stories on October 14, 2010
Autumn is finally in the air, for the second time! Here are some of the things I love about autumn:
- corduroy. I will never wear cords in the spring or summer. I break them out in autumn. My preferred cord is a thinner wale word (I just learned that word 3 years ago) in a faded black/dark gray colour. This clutch from MilkandHoneyHandbags on Etsy pretty much says it all…if only it were a skinny pant!
- red leaves. Where I live they are more rare. Most of the trees turn yellow or a depressing brown. I have a lovely clematis on my back fence with all red leaves right now which makes me happy. They are pretty similar to this wonderful photo by RedLeafGallery on Etsy
- warm plaids. I bought a beautiful purple plaid coat 2 autumns ago. It got very cold here very fast so I didn't get to wear it much. The following fall, I was pregnant. I am excited to finally wear it again! I can't find any pictures of it online and of course, there are none of me wearing it so use your imagination and then make it 50 times more beautiful and that is my coat!
- cardigans. Being a knitter I love cozy and warm cardigans. This cardigan by knitsbyjessie on Etsy is pretty much my idea of perfection. If you want to get me a Christmas gift, this would be it!
- the smell of winter coming.
- fall food: soups, casseroles, baking, anything that I don't like to make when I am too hot in the summer!
- making a Halloween costume! I you would consider how I make costumes upcycling because I usually go to value village, buy some random clothes and make a costume from it! This year, I am going to be a werewolf hunter who turned into a zombie. I look forward to seeing all the costumes at the social I am going to!
What do you love about autumn?

WASHINGTON, October 2, 2015 – "I would ask news organizations… tally up the number of Americans who have been killed through terrorist attacks in the last decade and the number of Americans who have been killed by gun violence and post those side by side," said President Obama to reporters after Christopher Mercer shot and killed 10 and wounded seven Thursday at Oregon's Umpqua Community College.
The New York Times failed to mention in its account of the slaughter that "the gunman in Thursday's mass shooting at an Oregon community college specifically targeted Christians, three witnesses said, while online accounts linked to the shooter expressed disdain for organized religion," said Fox News.
According to CNN, before she was wheeled into surgery, wounded student Anastasia Boylan told her father that the shooter "ordered the students to stand up and asked if they were Christians."
"Good," he told those that acknowledged their faith, "because you're a Christian, you're going to see God in just about one second. And then he shot and killed them."
The same day Obama asked the mainstream media to wage a propaganda war against the Second Amendment right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms, a Tucson, Arizona, jury found Jesus Leonel Sanchez-Meza and Ivan Soto-Barraza guilty in the December 2010 shooting death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
Two AK-47s recovered at the murder scene were later linked to the Obama administration's Operation Fast and Furious, in which former Attorney General Eric Holder authorized the Phoenix branch of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to sell roughly 2,000 assault weapons to Mexico's deadly Sinaloa drug cartel in January of 2009.
Obama & Umpqua shooter: Raising their ugly heads
On May 3, 2011, Holder lied in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, stating that the first he heard of Fast and Furious was in newspaper reports.
By July of that same year, a subpoenaed memo revealed that ATF special agent William Newell was coordinating his agency's gunrunning operation with White House National Security staffer Kevin O'Reilly.
On June 20, 2012, frustrated at his refusal to deliver documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, it recommended that the House of Representatives declare Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.
That same day, President Obama asserted executive privilege over the contested documents. "This prevents future prosecution of Holder," said CNN at the time.
In September of that year, the Spanish-language network Univision broadcast an investigative piece that said in part, "Additional guns, previously unreported by congressional investigators, found their way into the hands of drug traffickers across Latin America in countries such as Honduras and Colombia, as well as the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico."
They added that its investigative unit "identified massacres committed using guns from the ATF operation, including the killing of 16 young people attending a party."
Gerardo Reyes, the Miami-based director of Univision's investigative reporting unit said it best: "Americans have been getting a lot of information about the possible cover-up in the Justice Department, the tragedy of Brian Terry getting killed, but what about the Mexicans?
"The sinister part of this, and I know it sounds very hard, is that the success of this operation depended in part on the fact that the guns were used in Mexico to kill… [ATF agents and the White House] were waiting for the guns to be used. And how are guns used in Mexico? Killing people. I talked to an ATF agent who said there was no other way to explain it."
The death toll in Mexico from Operation Fast and Furious is estimated to be around 300. But we'll never know for sure.
America's mainstream "news organizations" have never been all that interested – in the words of President Obama – to "tally up the number."

Did you know that Facebook now has 52 genders listed? No, me neither. The world is changing and forward thinking organisations know they have to change. Even the less forward thinking companies are beginning to get the message: business is better when it's inclusive and employs the talents of everyone.
I have been a long time admirer of the work of Avivah Wittenberg-Cox and interviewed her on this blog (see here for the interview with Avivah. Note to self, time for an update with Avivah). She is the CEO of 20first.com and author of several excellent books explaining to businesses just how they become truly gender bi lingual and create an organisation playing to the strengths of all its employees. It's not about changing the women but changing the environment. Business needs to adapt.
Let Avivah explain in this video. It's less than 2 minutes long and well worth a listen.
What Does Gender Bi-Lingual Mean? By Avivah Wittenberg-Cox
If the link doesn't open for you, here is the URL .
I am busy putting together some material for a book on this very topic, aimed at individuals, and sharing some of the researched differences in styles of communications between genders. If you have any stories to share please feel free to get in touch, I'd love to hear from you. If you're a subscriber simply click Reply to the email, or if not, details are here. On Twitter I'm @JaneCWoods and on LinkedIn you can find me here.

text: Women's roles have really changed throughout the early 1900s. The first panel depicts Betsy going to a factory to work during World War I. At that time, women in the US were taking up the factory jobs that men were leaving behind because they were drafted into the military. For the second panel, it shows Betsy all dressed up to get a drink of alcohol at one of the speakeasies in the "golden" 20s. The 1920s was when women were gaining a new sexual freedom (e.g. flappers) and unlike before, when old saloons were for men only, the new speakeasies that came to be were for both men and women to get a drink. Lastly, for the third panel, it shows Betsy ready to go off to World War II. Though there were women in World War I, they didn't have much of a combative role (they more stayed at home and worked in the factories) compared to World War II when women even took part in the army, navy, and the national guard. This comic just basically shows the evolution of women throughout the early 1900s. By the way, in the background you can also see some technological improvements from the invention of the radio to televisions becoming common in most American homes.

Each week the WHM gang force themselves to watch bad movies that were better left forgotten to fuel off-the-wall tangents, inane impressions and unabashed comedic silliness. This is a comedy podcast for movie lovers that can't help but relish pure trash.
On this year's very special WHM Oscar Special, the gang makes their predictions as to who will take home what this year, but also rants about who they think should actually win! Will Laurie Metcalf pull it out from under Allison Janney? Why in the world did Meryl Streep get nominated for The Post? Will the stupid Academy acknowledge the greatness of Get Out? And will beloved The Boss Baby become an Oscar-winner? PLUS: How many Shreks were nominated?
Check out the gang's prediction success rate this Sunday and tweet along with the guys during the ceremony using #WHMOscars!

Do you think Stock?? Has Stock changed your eye?
I learned about it, I found DT and other agencies, I did a try at 2 or 3 but my pics were too bad, just crap. So I got a lot of frustration and began to learn how did stock works, what kind of photos should I send and what not.
And now, 3 years after I joined DT I'm still learning and fighting with rejections. But my photographic eye has changed. Now, when I take my camera and go out, I always shoot at things that maybe I would never do if I weren't into microstock.
Maybe I would shoot a lots of landscapes, portraits of my pets, flowers, beaches, sunsets, etc... the "allpaper-kind" pictures ;) beautiful and visually pleasant, but not very stock oriented ;)
However, shoot a phone cell isolated in white, medical tools isolated in white, pencils, technology, cigarettes,paper clips and a long etc
Sometimes my frends freak out when they see me making some kind of pictures like this one of pens pot
And you? Has stock changed your eye? Do yo see objects to photography at that time ago you didn't see?

Thank you all for your interesting opinions!we are all on the same side :)
It has and actually it bothers me somewhat becasue I still want to create art! I would like my photos to tell a storyor convey a feeling rather than just a commercial image.
Yes, I joined stock photography community in 2009. ...I would say in full crisis.
In an online Free Dictionary crisis has this definition:
" a. A crucial or decisive point or situation; a turning point.
b. An unstable condition, as in political, social, or economic affairs, involving an impending abrupt or decisive change."
So, my point is that YES, I increased my creativity with stock photography (even sometimes I shoot isolated objects). the competition is so big that we must be creative and sell very good photographies. If we really want to sell our photos we must be creative and commercial in the same time.
Yes, I'am changing my points of view. Now I see more commercial, or I try....
For sure! The one thing I like is that compared to before a lot more of my photos see the light of day. If you have thousands of great landscapes, kid photos or whatever, how much wall space do you have to display them :) Meeting the technical requirements of stock photo submittals has helped improve my other personal work, as well.
Thank you all 4 your comments and opinions :)
Stock has definitely changed the way I see and shoot things. Still, I try to ad a little creative flair sometimes to give my artistic side a release.
Sure the eyes changed. Before I wouldn't understand why people may need to shoot a pair of shoes, and now my friends don't understand from where I get the idea to shoot teabags or earphones ;)
Definitely! I've only been on here 7 months but it has made a huge difference to the way I see the world. I eat, sleep and breathe photography at the moment. If I can't get out to take photos I've usually got my nose in a book reading about it! I now look at everything as a potential photo, if not for stock then as part of another image. I was caught taking photos of the texture of my parents doormat yesterday, lol. I have definitely caught the bug :0)
OMG, Yes!!!
For me, it has changed everything. Nowadays I wake up with stock/photography and go to bed with it. Always thinking lighting, settings, methods, etc. It's a good thing I do not have a day-job, it would completely fall to pieces;)
The beauty of it is that I now see the beauty in so many things that before I did not notice. If only I could capture it the way I see it in my mind. But slowly getting there;)
I truly can say I found my passion:)
Definitely yes! I didn't start to take real commercial and stock worthy photos, because I don't find it funny, but I have started to pay attention to the background of the photo, the object, contrast, colors and the frame. Sometimes when I am looking at photographs in journals (not sharp) I am wondering why do we have to meet such a high requirements. But in the end I am glad because thanks to the high requirements in stock photography I have learned really a lot.
yes! I only realised this when I was in Sicily last July and my camera broke! the first day i was taking photos for stock .. the next day it broke, so i was left with my trusty handy pos cam, which was fab! as I know have an album of over 300 photos of laughs and moments :)

Currently there are two competing models to explain the substorm process: the Current-Disruption Model (CDM) und das Near Earth Neutral Line Model (NENL).
Temporal evolution of the substorm processes according to the CDM
The CDM requires a local plasmainstability in the nightside magnetosphere at a distance of about 8-10 RE, causing a disruption of the tail current in the magnetosphere and subsequent closure of this current in the ionosphere. As a result of this current disruption a rarefaction wave is generated, propagating tailward at large velocities and triggering magnetic reconnection at about a distance of 25 RE.
Temporal evolution of the substorm processes according to the NENL
In contrast to this the NENL requires magnetic reconnection at a distance of about 25 RE as the trigger of the substorm process. So-called bursty bulk flows transport large amounts of energy into the inner magnetosphere where this energy is converted to thermal energy and flow diversion around the Earth at the inner edge of the plasma sheet occurs. The field-aligned currents of the substorm current wedge are generated by the process.

Intelligent transportation system is closely combined with the actual situation of the current city public traffic, with the help of advanced science and technology, combined with the humanized design concept, construct a set of sophisticated, complex and huge bus network video surveillance management system, to provide visual management services for the operation of public transport system, so as to provide convenient public travel services, provide strong guarantee for the safety of public travel.
The vehicle monitoring system via the on-board Mobile DVR, bus camera, microphone, emergency alarm button, as the audio and GPS information collection, storage, transmission and management system to the center through the built-in 3G/4G module Mobile DVR; vehicle scheduling system to achieve bus scheduling function through the intelligent transportation scheduling screen, and can be extended and connected to the car horn, bus card, in wheat, LED screen, screen media release information. By integrating the original GPS positioning system, bus station system, video surveillance system, bus card system and media publishing system, the system is integrated into the same system. Can upload collection data or download updated data, and centralized management with the center to generate operational statistical reports.
The transmission network includes two parts: the wireless mobile communication transmission link and the fixed line transmission line. After receiving the data information from the front end bus, the communication base station is sent to the fixed line dedicated line through the gateway for the monitoring center to use.
The central management system is the core of this system, and it is the place to carry out daily monitoring, bus dispatching and emergency command. The center management system to achieve the control of vehicle front system through the wireless network, realize the audio and video surveillance, GPS positioning, vehicle line management, vehicle scheduling, voice intercom, alarm processing and other functions, and can upload the data storage, summary, generating background management reports, vehicle maintenance management, line operation management and other functions.
The bus station monitoring system is mainly composed of analog camera, DVR host, switchboard, video analysis server, and it can connect dispatching indicator, attendance machine, broadcast, alarm device and so on. Through a complete set of equipment, the safety management of the bus station is realized.
The information issuing system of bus electronic stop sign connects the monitoring center of the bus company through 3G or cable network, and displays the information of vehicle arrival immediately. It has the functions of advertisement circulation, weather forecast and other public information broadcasting.
The terminal equipment of the intelligent bus mainly includes the vehicle engine, the driver's operating screen, the electronic station card, the camera and the barley.
Bus vehicle host and driver's operating screen
The host vehicle and driver operation screen is the main equipment installed on the bus, to achieve GPS vehicle positioning, driving record, image capture, import function station reporting, electronic fence, mileage statistics, speech manual / automatic station report, voice intercom function, service broadcast, data, image storage, information display, video camera emergency alarm, driver attendance etc..
The basic principle of bus intelligent electronic station card system:
For the already installed vehicle positioning system of GPS bus, the bus location data released to the control center server through wireless network, calculate the real-time vehicle arrival information, send the calculation result to the installation of intelligent stop wireless communications device or optical fiber communication, forecast and information on the LED screen or LCD screen release.
1, the electronic bus stop displays the arrival information to the passengers in a dynamic way of the bus stop. Passengers can be very clear about how many stops to the station and the number of buses ahead.
2, the electronic station card LCD LED screen can play news programs, and can also play commercial advertising, which can increase the operating income of the bus enterprise. When necessary, the government announcements and emergency announcements are issued.
3, in the monitoring and dispatching center, the site video can be viewed in real time through the electronic station card camera, and the traffic traffic is scheduled for the actual human traffic.
4, the electronic station board camera can be used as a traffic surveillance camera to monitor the bus's daily operation, vehicle entry order and driving style.
5. The electronic station card is an important public infrastructure, and its video monitoring function can provide some important video information for the public security.
