Ma'am, I forgot to mention a moment ago, being that I liked your article I am going to reblog it for you.
The food in Vietnam is delicious!!
If you ever get the chance to go to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam you definitely have to try the following dishes or places.
1. "Wrap and roll", on 62 Hai Ba Trung Street, in District 1, this is my favourite spring roll place in the whole city. Their fresh spring rolls are served with a peanut dipping sauce (Nuoc Cham) or a sweet chilli sauce if you prefer something spicy. These spring rolls are a refreshing change from the usual fried variety, and they are great as an appetizer or even a meal.
The food and also the service is good. I usually had the shrimp on sugar cane skewers that you then make your own spring rolls with. The fish salad is served with a big plate of assorted shrubbery like basil, mint, and lettuce, and a small pile of vermicelli noodles. You then roll it all up in rice paper wrapper and dip it in the bowl of fish or sweet chilli sauce and it's perfect.
2. Another great and traditional Vietnamese place with great spring rolls and desserts is "Ngong", just across from the reunification palace. It has fabulous Vietnamese deserts and great lemon grass clams. You make your own spring rolls here as well but the best part for me here was the desert!
Fresh fruits are the most popular desserts in Vietnam, but "Chè" is the most traditional Vietnamese dessert. It's a sweet pudding usually made from mung beans, bananas, coconut milk, pearl tapioca, sweet yam or yucca root vermicelli and sugar. At Ngong they drown the desert in fresh coconut juice which makes it irresistible. This is undoubtedly my favourite desert in Vietnam.
3. If you are up for some strange food there is always "Bo Tung Xeo Restaurant" at 31 Ly Tu Trong. Here you can treat yourself to uncommon dishes such as crocodile, frog, grasshoppers, shrimps, ostrich, scorpion, snake and rat.
You get your own little Vietnamese barbecue at your table, with the raw meat served to you, which you then prepare on the grill on your table. Their speciality is marinated beef, but the crocodile is a winner and we went back a couple of times just for shrimp and crocodile.
Personally I would not recommend the deep fried scorpion as its very crunchy and mostly just shell. I tried this on my birthday and never again. The grasshoppers are quite good although they are a bit crunchy and the crocodile is excellent. If you want to try the snake, have minced snake, as the whole snake in soup is just too bony and disgusting to actually enjoy and I ended up leaving half of mine untouched.
If you want this same experience but with a bit more luxury or more up market, go to the "Temple club" on Ton That Thiep street. They basically serve the same food as in Bo Tung Xeo but there are more westerners around and they even have music playing.
4. You will find a couple of great French restaurants throughout the city. For lunch "Au Parc" was my favourite. It is close to the reunification palace so a great place to stop for lunch while exploring the city. They have great chocolate deserts, filling salads, excellent sandwiches and fresh fruit shakes.
For dinner you should try "Le Jardin" on Thai Van Lung street, it is a charming little French bistro with the best brown onion soup I have ever tasted. It has a lovely atmosphere and is always packed so be sure to make a reservation before going.
5. If you were in the mood for Japanese cuisine the best place would be "Sushi Bar" on Le Thanh Ton street in District 1. Sushi Bar boasts of very friendly and attentive service and absolutely scrumptious food.
Sushi Bar does not have only Sushi specialties but Sashimi and other Japanese specialties can be sampled here too. One important feature of the cuisine is that it uses only the freshest of ingredients either bought from local markets or imported from Japan. Since over 45 varieties of Sushi and Sashimi are served up, you can pick and choose and come back countless times without being able to taste them all.
They don't just serve "normal" sushi they have the best-fried sushi that I have ever tasted. Make sure to sample some of their Tempura, rice or one of their noodle specialties.
Ma'am, I forgot to mention a moment ago, being that I liked your article I am going to reblog it for you.
Reblogged this on Truth Troubles.
This does sound like these meals are a whole lot better for a person that all the high sugar and salt-laden food I eat here in the States.
Hi Jana!
This article are useful for my April'17 trip to Saigon :-*
Fabulous! I hope that you have an amazing trip! I would love to go back and see how things have changed in the past couple of years.
So much food, Janaline! 🙂 🙂
Look at the food!!! Yummy yam delicious… luv that… been there but still missing em' lol Lan curiostraveller.com (luv your feeds-awesome)
Interesting food choices. Hey, thanks for following Humorous Interludes. I am delighted! 🙂
Grasshopper? Well, you are braver than I!
After trying the scorpion the grasshopper was actually quite tasty although very crunchy.

France to stay in Mali until stability restored
France will end its intervention in Mali only once stability has returned to the West African country, French President Francois Hollande said on Tuesday, raising the prospects of a costly, drawn-out operation against al Qaeda-linked rebels.
Paris has poured hundreds of soldiers into Mali and carried out air raids since Friday in the northern half of the country, which Western and regional states fear could become a base for attacks by Islamist militants in Africa and Europe.
Thousands of African troops are due to take over the offensive but regional armies are scrambling to accelerate the operation – initially not expected for months and brought forward by France's bombing campaign aimed at stopping a rebel advance on a strategic town last week.
"We have one goal. To ensure that when we leave, when we end our intervention, Mali is safe, has legitimate authorities, an electoral process and there are no more terrorists threatening its territory," Hollande told a news conference during a visit to the United Arab Emirates.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, accompanying Hollande, said the offensive against the Malian rebels could take some time, and the current French level of involvement could last weeks. Elections, however, would take months to organize.
French aircraft earlier hit rebels with fresh air strikes and a column of dozens of French armored vehicles rumbled into the dusty riverside capital of Bamako overnight, bringing to about 750 the number of French troops in Mali.
Paris has said it plans to deploy 2,500 soldiers in its former colony to bolster the Malian army and work with the intervention force provided by West African states.
West African defense chiefs met in Bamako on Tuesday to approve plans for speeding up the deployment of 3,300 regional troops, foreseen in a United Nations-backed intervention plan to be led by Africans.
Nigeria pledged to deploy soldiers within 24 hours and Belgium said it was sending transport planes and helicopters to help, but West Africa's armies need time to become operational.
Mali's north, a vast and inhospitable area of desert and rugged mountains the size of Texas, was seized last year by an Islamist alliance combining al Qaeda's north African wing AQIM with splinter group MUJWA and the home-grown Ansar Dine rebels.
Any delay in following up on the French air bombardments of Islamist bases and fuel depots with a ground offensive could allow the insurgents to slip away into the desert and mountains, regroup and counter-attack.
The rebels, who French officials say are mobile and well-armed, have shown they can hit back, dislodging government forces from Diabaly, 350 km (220 miles) from Bamako on Monday.
Residents said the town was still under Islamist control on Tuesday despite a number of air strikes that shook houses.
An eye witness near Segou, to the south, told Reuters he had seen 20 French Special Forces soldiers driving toward Diabaly.
Malians have largely welcomed the French intervention, having seen their army suffer a series of defeats by the rebels.
"With the arrival of the French, we have started to see the situation on the front evolve in our favor," said Aba Sanare, a resident of Bamako.
Aboudou Toure Cheaka, a senior regional official in Bamako, said the West African troops would be on the ground in a week.
The original timetable for the 3,300-strong U.N.-sanctioned African force – to be backed by western logistics, money and intelligence services – did not initially foresee full deployment before September due to logistical constraints.
Senegal, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria and Guinea have all offered troops. Col. Mohammed Yerima, spokesman for Nigeria's defense ministry, said the first 190 soldiers would be dispatched within 24 hours.
But Nigeria, which is due to lead the mission, has already cautioned that even if some troops arrive in Mali soon, their training and equipping will take more time.
Sub-Saharan Africa's top oil producer, which already has peacekeepers in Sudan's Darfur and is fighting a bloody and difficult insurgency at home against Islamist sect Boko Haram, could struggle to deliver on its troop commitment of 900 men.
One senior government adviser in Nigeria said the Mali deployment was stretching the country's military.
"The whole thing's a mess. We don't have any troops with experience of those extreme conditions, even of how to keep all that sand from ruining your equipment. And we're facing battle-hardened guys who live in those dunes," the adviser said, asking not to be named because of the sensitivity of the subject.
France, which has repeatedly said it has abandoned its role as the policeman of its former African colonies, said on Monday that the U.S., Canada, Denmark and Germany had also offered logistical support.
Fabius has said Gulf Arab states would help the Mali campaign while Belgium said on Tuesday it would send two C130 transport planes and two medical helicopters to Mali following a request from Paris.
A meeting of donors for the operation was expected to be held in Addis Ababa at the end of January.
Security experts have warned that the multinational intervention in Mali, couched in terms of a campaign by governments against "terrorism", could provoke a jihadist backlash against France and the West, and African allies.
U.S. officials have warned of links between AQIM, Boko Haram in Nigeria and al Shabaab Islamic militants fighting in Somalia.
Al Shabaab, which foiled a French effort at the weekend to rescue a French secret agent it was holding hostage, urged Muslims around the world to rise up against what it called "Christian" attacks against Islam.
"Our brothers in Mali, show patience and tolerance and you will win. War planes never liberate a land," Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage, al Shabaab's spokesman, said on a rebel-run website.
U.S. officials said Washington was sharing information with French forces in Mali and considering providing logistics, surveillance and airlift capability.
"We have made a commitment that al Qaeda is not going to find any place to hide," U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters as he began a visit to Europe. Panetta later said the U.S. had no plans to send troops to Mali.
"I don't know what the French endgame is for this. What is their goal? It reminds me of our initial move into Afghanistan," a U.S. military source told Reuters.
"Air strikes are fine. But pretty soon you run out of easy targets. Then what do you do? What do you do when they head up into the mountains?"

Going home to dad
Duana sent me the cutest email the other day. The title was "I'm a sap" and she was referring to her reaction after seeing these photos of Angelina Jolie and her daughters Miss Zahara and the Chosen One Shiloh looking like they're all having a great time leaving a costume store. They're happy! And even I am not immune to the irresistibility of a happy child.
Here they all are again, yesterday, leaving LA presumably to head back to Brad. As you can see, once again, as she usually is, Shiloh is in great spirits. She must just be one of those kids, born with a bright disposition. I've met many kids like this, and many who are the opposite. Like from birth they were drama queens. From birth they just carried around the angst. Shiloh doesn't seem so far to have her mother's youthful angst. Then again, please, if I were their kids, there's not a lot to be angsty about. Unless of course you're one of those people who thinks that the Chosen One is being forced to choose to be a lesbian in which case... I mean yeah you're right, she totally looks miserable to me.
You think the Brange will give up a new shot of them together this weekend, just, you know, to let us know that that attractive PA isn't a situation, and, oh for fun, to remind Jennifer and Justin that they'll never be equal?

There are plenty of headphones available, some good, some bad. But when was the last time you saw a pair aimed at younger children? That's the plan with the Griffin MyPhones, a set of headphones that are aimed at the little angels in your life. But do they work? We plugged in our 3 year-old daughter to find out.
The MyPhones main claim is that they feature an always-on volume limiter so your child can't turn the volume up too loud and blow their ear-drums out. Set to a maximum 85dB all the time, they can still get loud, but not loud enough to do any damage.
To put 85dB into context, you and I talk normally at around 60dB while an MP3 player such as the iPod (without the volume limiter turned on) is around 120dB - the same, indecently, as an ambulance screaming past you in the street.
In practice and the headphones look like your average grown-up headphones. They have big comfortable cans on either side and an adjustable head strap to fit different sized heads, but things are kept small for children. The cans are well padded and replicate what you would expect on an adult "professional" model, leather or faux leather we can't determine, but either way they are good enough to block any noise (not that it gets that loud anyway).
There is a long cable (127cm) with a 3.5mm jack so the MP3 player can be tucked neatly away in a back pack (kids pockets are usually full of stones or tissues), which is an unexpected but pleasant surprise and should see you right on planes and in the back of the car.
Where the Griffin MyPhones headphones aim to appeal to children is with the interchangeable cover inserts. You get two designs in the box - blue or pink - and before you start to think this is just another marketing idea to sell you more, you also get a further two sets of blank templates so you can colour in your own. The templates are easy enough to copy (it's just a circle after all) and that means your kids can colour their hearts out and put their own stamp on them.
So what about performance? After asking the 3-year-old and getting nowhere without a "they sound great daddy", we tested them out (in the interest of reviewing you understand). The sound isn't anything spectacular, however it's not awful either. There is a good balance of treble and bass with the bass, as you would expect, on the light side. Noise cancellation was good and although we weren't able to test them on an aeroplane they did manage to isolate the noise of our washing machine when standing next to it.
I listened to everything from The Beatles to Berlioz and would be happy enough with the performance to know that my daughter and son won't be complaining any time soon.
Everything is kept in a large strong plastic carry case, and the marketing bumpf can be removed and the accompanying "These myPhones belong to..." panel inserted instead.
Grumbles? There aren't any.
As a parent you always want to protect your children, but not go over the top and wrap them in cotton wool. Although some MP3 players (iPod included) do offer a volume limiting system, it's sometimes hard to find the setting and fiddly fingers will always turn it off.
The volume limiting here is done via the hardware and is always on - there is no off switch – so all you have to worry about is plugging them in. Couple that with the ability to customise, and our 3-year-old was excited about not only colouring them in but then wearing them afterwards.
If you're a parent and need a set of headphones for your little one, these are the ones to get.

Easter is nearly knocking on our door which means people are getting even more prepared then ever because this year, Easter is early. April 8th is the holy day that Jesus was resurrected from the dead, and that is the day we Christians, Catholics, and others who believe in Jesus Christ celebrate. What is Easter without the drawing or vision of a cross? Today we will tackle the simple task of learning "how to draw a cross for kids", step by step. Yes, even a simple cross can be hard to recreate. There is so many things that can be drawn in a simple manner that kids and other novice artists can tackle. This is one of those objects where it is fun to draw just because of what it is. Crosses are beautiful in any form, and I always have fun drawing them no matter what type, or how hard they are. I think you will enjoy drawing this concept for kids because it is based on a wooden cross that is one of the most common. That is all I have to say for this description, stick around because I have two sketches coming your way in a bit. Peace people and Happy Easter.

Music copied onto blank recordable CDs is becoming a bigger threat to the bottom line of record stores and music labels than online file-sharing, the head of the recording industry's trade group said.
"Burned" CDs accounted for 29 percent of all recorded music obtained by fans last year, compared to 16 percent attributed to downloads from online file-sharing networks, Mitch Bainwol, chief executive for the Recording Industry Association of America, said on Friday.
The data, compiled by the market-research firm NPD Group, suggested that about half of all recordings obtained by music fans last year were due to authorized CD sales and about 4 percent from paid music downloads.
"CD burning is a problem that is really undermining sales," Bainwol said in an interview prior to speaking before about 750 members of the National Association of Recording Merchandisers in San Diego on Friday.
Copy protection technology "is an answer to the problem that clearly the marketplace is going to see more of," he said.
Album sales in North America are down about 7 percent this year compared with a year ago, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Yet the recording industry has seen a lift from online music sales, which when factored in with albums and sales of CD singles, increased overall music sales through July to 21 percent over last year.
The focus on CD burning on Friday was welcomed by Alayna Hill-Alderman, who said she has seen music CD sales slide in recent years while sales of blank recordable CDs have soared.
"We are feeling the decline in our store sales, especially with regard to R&B and the hip-hop world," said Hill-Alderman, co-owner of Record Archive, a two-store company operating in Rochester, New York.
"It's all due to burning. We've lost tremendous amounts of those sales to flea markets and bodegas," she said.
After experimenting with copy-protected CDs in Europe and Latin America in recent years, some record labels have begun releasing albums in North America with similar copy restrictions. The CDs typically allow users to burn no more than a handful of copies.
Velvet Revolver's Contraband, released last year, was equipped with such copy-protection technology and grabbed the top sales spot in its debut week.
Some saw that as a sign music fans didn't mind CDs with copy restrictions. But other releases since, such as the latest Foo Fighters album, have sometimes spawned fan complaints that the restrictions go too far or create technology conflicts with portable audio devices.
Simon Wright, chief executive of Virgin Entertainment Group International, which oversees the Virgin chain of music stores, said he's in favor of labels releasing more albums in a copy-protected CD format, regardless of the potential for consumer backlash.
"If, particularly, the technology allows two-to-three burns, that's well within acceptable limits and I don't think why consumers should have any complaints," Wright said.

"Polyverse is recognized for creating unprecedented resilience against cyberattacks by making the software on every computer unique and diverse. Polyverse's ability to eliminate zero days, employ moving target defense, and eliminate code injection with polyscripting makes the company a leader in preventative cybersecurity. Polyverse makes each operating system instance unique at a memory and stack level, which means the attacker's investment in hacking the first operating system cannot be applied to the next. This technology breaks the economic model of malicious hacking at its core."

"We see the sophistication of attacks generally increasing, including the use of memory-based and fileless techniques. From a defense perspective, it's usually better to look at ways of mitigating the impact of broad attack classes rather than focusing on individual attacks. With that in mind, we see approaches such as Moving Target Defense as an interesting avenue of defense for organizations to consider as they deploy security across their environments."

I am approximating some algebraic expressions of operators from a free Lie algebra. It is possible but messy to collect all independent operator objects of a given degree (same as grading?) that appears in such expressions. These are collectively referred to as the "Hall basis". [See here ]
I would like to find a shortcut in terms of matrix algebras. In particular I was wondering if there is a matrix algebra of $n$-dimensional matrices in which any member can be written as a sum of commutators of up to degree $d$. I think $n$ will grow exponentially with $d$.
I am trying to use such a method to streamline some calculations in the dynamics of open quantum systems were such expansions (e.g. Magnus expansion ) occur naturally but are hard to work with. I think the solution must have to do with triangular matrices but I might be missing something. Perhaps the same thing can be done with a little overhead by rephrasing in terms of products and nil-potency as opposed to commutators. Any pointers in helpful directions are much appreciated!

Play Insane Guitar Overnight with the Ultimate Speed Learning System.
Give us five minutes of your time and well have you playing killer guitar.
See we wanted to create a system that would allow any normal person with guitar playing ambition to be able to really play anything they want.
Yes, we have worked out an incredible way to provide POWER lessons with the best players on the planet. How did we do this? Just read on and Ill tell you...
Our vision was to enable you the player, to learn how to play quickly, using a system that was as painless as possible.
REMEMBER! You must learn guitar and learning it with this site is downright BABY EASY.
Welcome to Guitar SuperStars.com!
My name is Andy Johnson. I am a guitar player and teacher and have been for 20 years.
After touring with my band, I made it my personal goal, to create the world's most powerful guitar teaching system.
My new ambition was to create the first online guitar learning system that would incorporate step-by-step lessons and intense workshops, taught by ONLY the best guitar teachers and rockstars on the planet.
All lessons consisting of a wide array of the most talented guitar teachers available.
So I took my traditional lesson plan and began guitar superstars online. Knowing all of the guitarists in NYC, After many months of production, and lesson creation and collaboration with many different guitar teachers and players, everyone's talking about it.
Most guitar learning systems that you find online look great on the outside but once you sign up, you find out that it's not as easy as it looked when visiting the site. Playing the guitar is certainly not easy. Why do you think thousands of people go to college for 4-6 years to learn guitar? Because there is a lot to it!
You might think: "I'm competing with that?" Well you came to the right place if you want to bypass the traditional "slow paced" way to learn guitar.
See, since the internet came out, everything changed. Now with modern technology, it has given us the opportunity for "next level" guitar programs, that will show YOU how to play incredible guitar, the way you want to learn and the way you want to play.
What if there was a system that provides this type of technology with the world's best teachers?
Become a Guitarist and Master the Most Complicated Solos and Leads.
When creating my lesson plan years ago my challenge was always to help the students achieve more and more abilities as time went on.
The more abilities that you learn in sequence the better guitar player you will become.
You need to develop incredible memory skills, technique, if and physical ability with your left and right hands.
Your fingers need to be able to move as fast as you're right hand picks. A professional guitarist is an expert in every aspect.
Guitar superstars provides a cutting edge guitar learning system that forcefully makes you an expert in every aspect of guitar.
This system will allow you to excel with picking technique, rudiments, scales, and you will find that you have an incredible memory records.
During our existence online we have become the authority on guitar lessons.
Just do a search and look at what everyone has to say about us. It's no secret that Guitarsuperstars is the guitarist's choice in either advancing their stellar performance career or that beginner who would like to learn how to take their guitar playing to the next level.
A collection of outdated and boring exercises.
A bunch of videos just thrown together with no idea of what it will do for you.
Incorrect teachings that will damage your ability to play.
Bland lessons taught by players who are not very well taught
Most other other guitar systems online will! In fact, most other guitar systems online are 100 times more primitive than a guitar method on a VHS tape in the 1980's! Why? Because they can hide their bad material behind their nicely designed website and teach murky lessons that dont make any sense.
YOU DO NOT want to get stuck with a system that will either damage your playing, bore you to death or make your family, friends and neighbors hate you for sounding terrible.
You want a guitar learning system that will transform you into one of the best guitarists in the world right? And do it for you without all of the hype and the classic bait and switch correct? Forget all that!
You have nothing to lose!
In fact, your initial investment of time will be made up for with your new ability to make money with the guitar playing better than anyone who you have met before.
We are that confident about our system. Everyone who has heard of our system including our critics, is that confident about guitar superstars.
And that's not it...
Now what will this cost?
That's a good question. Originally our course was manufactured on DVD and VHS tape. Including all of the guitarists, lessons, and resources, it took 10 VHS tapes or four DVDs for just the introductory lesson! I am happy to announce that now for the first time guitar superstars is available for instant download right here at guitarsuperstars.com.
Now the membership online is a dream come true because it wont cost anywhere near the price of the DVDs!
See we dont need to manufacture 40 DVD's, package them, and then advertise on print to reach our audience. The internet is an incredible outlet for the guitar supertstars system. We were able to reach you easily, and therefore we dont need to advertise the way we did, and manufacture the entire course. But we do need to compete and we do need to pay our digital retailer.
I'm willing to make you an incredible deal. Are you ready?
Join Right Now For Just...
Get Instant Access Right Now For Only $47.00.
That's right, isn't the internet incredible? We can take a $997 guitar course and virtually scalp the price point! Yes folks, this is a massive discount. When we finalized the price heads began to roll. We don't plan to offer our course for only $47.00 forever.

Scientists around the world will be provided a unique vantage point for studying how the Earth's global environment is changing when Space Shuttle Endeavour is launched on Shuttle mission STS-59.
During the 9-day mission, the Space Radar Laboratory (SRL) payload in Endeavour's cargo bay will give scientists highly detailed information that will help them distinguish human-induced environmental changes from other natural forms of change.
The Space Radar Laboratory (SRL) payload is comprised of the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) and the Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellite (MAPS). The German Space Agency (DARA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) are providing the X-SAR instrument.
The imaging radar of the SIR-C/X-SAR instruments have the ability to make measurements over virtually any region at any time, regardless of weather or sunlight conditions. The radar waves can penetrate clouds, and under certain conditions, can also "see" through vegetation, ice and extremely dry sand. In many cases, radar is the only way scientists can explore inaccessible regions of the Earth's surface.

Now, doctors hope it can help them outsmart cancer. Oncologists at two medical groups have started to test IBM's Watson's supercomputer system in an effort to improve speed and efficacy of treatments, the company said on Friday. The Maine Center for Cancer Medicine and Westmed Medical Group will begin testing an application based on Watson's cognitive computing to help diagnose lung cancer and recommend treatment, IBM said. "Access to comprehensive care can be difficult in rural areas such as southern Maine," said Tracey Weisberg, medical oncology president at Maine Center for Cancer Medicine and Blood Disorders. "This allows the most comprehensive evidence based treatment we could have only dreamed of in the past," she added. Watson is an artificial intelligence super computer system named after legendary International Business Machines President Thomas Watson. Thanks to its computing power, Watson can sift through 1.5 million patient records and histories to provide treatment options in a matter of seconds based on previous treatment outcomes and patient histories. It has been fed with more than 600,000 pieces of medical evidence, 2 million pages of text from 42 medical journals and clinical trials in the area of oncology research, IBM said. In addition, IBM partnered with clinicians and technology experts from health insurer WellPoint and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center who spent thousands of hours to teach Watson how to process, analyze and interpret the meaning of complex clinical information, IBM said. "Every doctor knows they cannot keep up with hundreds of new articles but every physician wants to be right and this is a way of facilitating that," said Samuel Nussbaum, chief medical officer at WellPoint. IBM first showcased Watson's powers almost two years ago. The computer beat two human competitors on the popular U.S. quiz show "Jeopardy!" highlighting the progress people have made in making machines able to think like them. IBM has since further advanced Watson's linguistic and analytical abilities to develop new products such as medical diagnosis.

Hi yes it is www.lpaccessibletechnologies.com .
very very cool! (nice to meet you btw ) does he have a website i can look at?
Hi Tiffany, I subscribe to New Mobility so I know that you contribute there. I might have a story for you about a quad named Luis Pena he has invented an Xbox controller for quads. I have ordered on for my son and he seem to be happy with it. It has only been a couple of hours but he has not played video games (FPS that is) in over a year. I was impressed with the Luis and his integrity and how he really thought this out. You can check them out yourself at LP accessible technologies. I told him I would post on different forums to let everyone know of our experience be positive or negative. So outside of a small paypal issue, I have been satisfied. I know there are probably alot of parents like myself that want to give some of their childs old life back and to me that is what this seems to be what this is. If you want more contact info just let me know.
Best regards,

DIY Light Up Marquee Star
My favorite design element is lighting. Nothing gets me more excited than building a lighting element, plugging it in and watching it set the space aglow. Mix that with my love of anything Vintage-Industrial and you can see how easily I became obsessed with marquee light up signs for the last few years. When I opened up my 2012 Baby and Child catalog from Restoration Hardware I loved finding that they had a cute vintage looking star. unfortunately it was $269. Slightly out of my budget and not very large (24″).
Pottery Barn also has one for sale for $129 again, not very large (22″):
BUT, if you know me at all, you know that I'd almost always rather make it myself than buy it. So, I scoured the internet for tutorials on how to make these little beauties. I combined different techniques from all of the tutorials I found until I created what I think is an AMAZING light for around $12 using coupons and supplies on hand. And, mine is a very large 32″!
Difficulty: Medium
Time: 1 day
Materials Needed:
- One large sheet of foam core board 32″X"40 (Hobby Lobby $8.99)
- One half sheet of foam core board 20′X30″ (Hobby Lobby $5.99)
- Xacto knife
- Printed Template (get star template below or make your own design)
- Glue Gun
- Vinyl Caulk
- Spray Primer
- Silver Craft paint
- White Semi Gloss paint
- 1 string of 25 C7 lights
- Vaseline
- Sand Paper
- Pencil
- Drill, small and large drill bits
Place the template back on top of the cut out star and poke the marks for the holes through the foam board. Follow the pencil holes up by drilling a pilot hole with a standard drill. And then one last larger hole with an XL drill bit about the same size as the threads on the C7 light bulbs.
Cut the smaller board into 5 even strips at 4″ wide. Then bevel or miter one end of the strip for the outside points. Cut it to fit one side. Then continue until you have cut 10 sides. I taped them together to hold them in place. They do NOT need to be perfect. Then place several of the C7 bulbs in the star. Turn the star upside down so that they rest on the bulbs. This will give you the depth on the back side of the star to hide all of the cords. Use the hot glue gun to connect the sides to the star. It is ok if it is messy. Fill in all the open spaces, especially at the joints of the inside corners. Finish with glue gun by adding a small messy bead to the surface of the raised sides. This gives it the illusion of a messy cut piece of metal and not clean crisp foam core board.
To further to illusion that this light is made from metal and is old, I added small gobs of Vaseline on the black paper star. Then I sprayed it with white primer mostly so that the final paint would stick to the glue gun glue. Once the primer was dry, I used a paper towel and rubbed it over the surface. Where ever the Vaseline had been, the primer didn't stick leaving a black spot behind.
After the primer dried, I realized the glue gun glue looked horrendous. Not the way I had intended it. I then busted out some vinyl caulk from my basement and caulked all of the seams. I even added caulk to the raised surface over the bead of glue. Now THAT was the look I was going for, messy welds.
After I added more Vaseline over the black rubbed off spots, I covered the entire front and sides of the star with 2/3 of a small bottle of silver paint.
Doesn't it look like metal? I'm not sure how well these photos show it, but in real life, it looks JUST like a metal star.
I grabbed some sand paper to pull out more of the black under the Vaseline. And added another coat of Vaseline over the black and over random spots on the surface and joints of the star before coating the inside with two final coats of white semi-gloss house paint I had in the garage.
Then a quick sand to the back of the star to clean up or tear off any excess paper in prep for installing the lights.
I had a few multi colored C7 string lights laying around so I took out all of the white light bulbs and screwed them into the board. Literally, my holes were so tight that I had to thread them through. Then I screwed them in very tight through the board till they dented the foam core board creating a tight perfect fit. This was honestly the hardest part, you have to screw them really tight to get a good connection in order for them to light up. And seriously, look at those joints…tell me they do not look like welds!
I am absolutely in love with this star. It is light as a feather, flexible, messy and looks like a vintage industrial star that I picked up at some great antique shop. I kept the outside edge silver but I think it could look awesome in a rusty-red too.
The joints, especially the mitered corners on the five points turned out so crisp and metallic. I also love the white lights rather than the clear because they are a warm incandescent bulb without the glare of a clear bulb. Plus with the warm almost yellow glow, it gives an even more authentic antique look.
The missing chunks of white paint throughout the center and seems shows the antique ware of the star being outside or not well taken care of.
This would be pretty cute around the fourth of July to switch out some of the white bulbs for red and blue, right?
I am ready to make another marquee sign, it took a while for each layer to dry, but was actually pretty simple and straight forward to create. There is definitely an arrow in my future. I'm seriously giddy about this project, and I can't wait to show you where I'm going to hang it! Stay tuned for that post coming soon.

Finally, we get to meet the baby boy of Kim Zolciak!
Kim, star of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, graces the latest cover of Life & Style magazine with a photo of her newborn Kroy Jagger Biermann who weighed in at eight pounds at birth. The photo comes a month after Kim delivered her baby on May 31st.
"It's unimaginable — I'm so blessed, so lucky," gushes Kim, 33, about her first son, whom she affectionately calls K.J. "I'm just so crazy in love with K.J. – I'm always kissing his big old lips."
And while Bravo cameras were in the hospital with Kim, they were not in the delivery room. "The actual delivery itself was very private, very personal," Kim reveals. "To be in such a happy place with Kroy there, it was definitely very emotional. It couldn't have been more perfect."
Kim, who already has two daughters Brielle, 14, and Arianna, 9, reveals her NFL beau Kroy Beirmann has been very supportive. "Kroy is just very calm," says Kim. "He gets up with me every time I get up. We'll change his diaper together, or he'll give him a bottle if I pump. We're really a team versus me doing a lot of things myself.'
"I'm 100,000 percent certain that Kroy is the one for me. I definitely would like one more child," she adds. So can we expect another baby for Kroy and Kim? "I'd like to get married first,' she says. "But I definitely would like one more child so K.J. has a little playmate. And then I'm done."
And when it comes to her costar Nene Leakes, Kim reveals she hasn't heard from her but she is a-okay with that. "But I don't care," she says. "I don't want any negativity around me. 'I'm in a different place in life now and I couldn't be happier."
Another photo below of Kim and baby KJ! You can read more of Kim's interview and see more pictures in the latest issue of Life & Style magazine.

County-wide Re-valuation Continues
The county-wide re-valuation project that began early in 2017 continues.
Over the last several months, GMASS, the contractor for the project has had varying numbers of appraisers in the field.
At this time they are back to their full complement of appraisers (about 10 folks) and they will likely be more widespread. This may prompt a new round of calls from citizens and we just wanted everyone to be aware.
The full details are posted on the Tax Appraiser's website, www.cowetatax.com
All appraisers will be wearing GMASS logo apparel and their vehicles will have a sign on the door.
In subdivisions, they are posting signs at the entrances to notify residents of their presence.
Please direct any questions to the Tax Assessor's Office 770-254-2680.
