Mainly just interested in strengthening the message here about the breaking change, and getting c14n into the discussion up front, since the note is actually intended to propose a breaking change to both as it currently stands. I also added a line about the fact that some use cases that are supported now literally wouldn't be. I think that's really the point here, since that's what tends to get people's hackles up. Here's a suggested replacement for section 1: ---- The Reference processing model and associated transforms currently defined by XML Signature [XMLDSIG2nd] are very general and open-ended, which complicates implementation and allows for misuse, leading to performance and security difficulties. Support for arbitrary canonicalization algorithms, and the complexity of the existing algorithms in order to meet various generic requirements is also a source of problems. Current experience with the use of XML Signature suggests that a simplified reference, transform, and canonicalization processing model would address the most common use cases while improving performance and reducing complexity and security risks [XMLSecNextSteps] [BradHill]. This document outlines a proposed change to the XML Signature processing model to achieve these goals. It also outlines use cases and the new requirements associated with the suggested changes. It should be noted that this proposal is not for an additional constrained processing model, but for an actual replacement of the existing generically extensible model that exists now. Thus, the changes proposed in this document would be a breaking change to XML Signature, necessitating new implementations and possibly precluding the ability to support some use cases currently supported. Thus, before making such a change in a proposed new version of XML Signature, the XML Security Working Group would like to obtain additional feedback on this proposal. The purpose of this document is to solicit early feedback. ---- -- ScottReceived on Monday, 26 January 2009 19:21:30 UTC

Believers still fearful one year after Baghdad church siege that killed 52
By Luiza Oleszczuk ChristianPost.com
The life of Iraqi Christians has not been easy. Since a siege directed against Christians in Baghdad in October 2010 killed 52 people, the situation of the followers of Christ in the overwhelmingly Muslim nation has grown worse.
About 500,000 Christians remain in Iraq, down from an estimated 800,000 to 1.4 million in 2003, according to a report by Minority Rights Group International, a research body. Persecution makes the Christian community smaller each year, with churches as well as households being targeted and causing worshippers to flee.
The Christmas holiday season has rarely been a happy one for Christians in the Middle East, where they are often not allowed to raise church buildings and house churches often experience raids and harassment. Experts on the region say the Christmas season is a particularly dangerous period for the Christian minority, when numerous acts of violence and vandalism take place.
The most recent of such attacks in Iraq occured on Dec. 2, when at least 25 people, many of them Christian, were wounded in an attack carried out by a group of Kurds in the Dohuk Governate in the north of the country.
Dozens of young Kurds – men who reportedly had been "instigated" by Muslim clerics – attacked several small businesses in Zakho, a city that at various times served as a checkpoint on the border with Turkey, according to a CNN report. The news network claims the attackers were targeting "a number of tourist facilities, especially facilities owned by … Christians and Yazidis." (Yazidis are one of Iraq's smallest religious minorities, their beliefs draw from Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism.)
A local Kurdish leader reportedly said that authorities made "a major effort" to prevent the "acts of sabotage, but they could not." Several police officers were among those wounded.
"I denounce these inhumane and illegal acts, and I call on the people of Kurdistan to respect the national, religious and sectarian coexistence and take it as a basic goal for them to live together peacefully," Massoud Barzani, the president of the Iraq's Kurdistan autonomous region, told CNN at the time.
The Wall Street Journal reported on the situation of Christians from Iraq in a Monday feature, calling the public's attention to another factor that is stirring the situation in the region – the democratic uprisings spreading across the Middle East.
"With the Arab Spring now bringing political turbulence to many other countries in the region, Christians throughout the Middle East are worried that what happened in Iraq may be a harbinger of misfortune to come in their own communities. While many remain supporters of the uprisings, others fear that the toppling of their autocratic rulers could uncork sectarian violence against Christians and other minority groups in their own nations," the WSJ's Sam Dagher wrote.
Such violence already took place in Egypt. Tensions between Coptic Christians and Muslims have escalated since the ousting of former president Hosni Mubarak after the Arab Spring uprisings. Mubarak was an open protector of Christians, and after the Jan. 25 revolution, several radical Islamic groups gained political power.
On Oct. 26, Coptic Christians were killed in Cairo, after Egypt's military and police sought to quell peaceful protests by members of the country's largest Christian denomination, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Currently, the Egyptian diaspora await fearfully what future the newly-minted government will bring.
In Iraq, the U.S. invasion and fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 brought sectarian violence that shook all Iraqis, including Muslim Shiites and Sunnis, according to the WSJ. But it has been catastrophic for the "nation's fragile Christian communities."
Iraqi Christians are caught amidst political brawls between the majority Shiite Muslims, the Sunni Muslims and the Kurds (in the north) who are predominantly Muslim, experts say.
At least 54 Iraqi churches have been bombed and at least 905 Christians killed in various acts of violence since the U.S. invasion toppled Hussein in 2003, WSJ reported.
Since 2003, attacks against these minorities by insurgents and religious extremists have driven more than half of them out of the country, according to U.N. statistics.
The persecution has been causing Christians not only to flee, but to conceal their identity. According to Minority Rights Group International, Christian and other religious minority women in Iraq have been forced to wear a head-scarf to protect themselves from attacks.
"Christian women in Kirkuk and Mosul report feeling extremely insecure outside their homes," the organization says in a report.
Archbishop Louis Sako of the Chaldean Catholic Church in the northern provinces of Kirkuk and Sulimaniya told the WSJ recently that "Iraq could be emptied of Christians" completely, if the persecution continues with such intensity.
Religious minorities, such as Christians and Yazidis, make up less than 5 percent of Iraq's population, according to the U.N.'s data division, as reported by WSJ.
As Christmas approaches, Iraqi Christians, while marking the birth of Jesus, will likely also recall the grim holiday season many of them experienced last year.

Erie Depot, Middletown
One of Orange County's renovated train stations
Middletown's Erie Depot is now home to the city's Thrall Library
Early last year it was announced that the old O&W station in Middletown might finally be renovated and turned into a health clinic. This grand 1892 building, designed by renowned architect Bradford Lee Gilbert, was once the O&W headquarters, as well as a major economic engine for Middletown.
But another one of the city's old stations — the 1896 Romanesque Revival Erie Depot — had already undergone a remarkable transformation of its own. While it actually served as a train station all the way up until 1983, it sat vacant for almost a decade before plans were hatched to turn it into the new Thrall Public Library, which opened in 1995 after a $5.3 million renovation.

Montreal, June 9, 2009 --- The Quebec Superior Court has thrown out a judicial review case brought by the City of Montreal against the Quebec human rights commission and CRARR.
In a decision dated June 2, 2009, Madam Justice Hélène Lebel rejected the City's argument that a person found guilty in municipal court over a city by-law cannot file a civil rights complaint against the police for having engaged in racial profiling leading to the issuance of a ticket. For the City, the filing of the discrimination complaint is tantamount to a disguised appeal.
The case involved a complaint filed by CRARR in September 2003 on behalf of a Black minor, F.F., in the East-end district of Saint-Michel, who was fined by the police for "incivilities†(i.e. using urban property for a purpose other than that for which it is designed - the youth was sitting on a small fence in front of his public housing project). Of the many youths present, the police officers only singled out Black boys for citation; racially discirminatory comments were also directed towards these youths
In January 2004, the youth in question was found guilty by default, for failing to appear in court to contest his fine. In December 2007, the human rights commission ruled that the youth was the victim of racial profiling and recommended $10,000 in damages. Two other Black boys were also fined by the police (one of whom was under 14 and could not be fined under Quebec law); the human rights commission also recommended $10,000 for each of them.
Since the City refused to comply with the commission's decision, the case was brought before the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal, as with all cases of racial profiling. In August 2008, the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal dismissed the City's contention that it did not have the jurisdiction to hear it; the City filed for judicial review before the Quebec Superior Court, which now sends the case back to the Human Rights Tribunal for a hearing on the merit of the cases.
In recent months, the City has systematically challenged racial profiling cases on procedural grounds before the courts. To date, the City has lost despite its numerous actions to prevent the Human Rights Tribunal from proceeding.
The Montreal Police continues to apply its policy against incivilities, which has deemed in New York City and in many cities in France to be discriminatory towards youths of color and the poor. Under this policy, many young males of color, disadvantaged youths as well as the homeless have been fined for conduct deemed by the police to be "uncivil†(spitting, talking loud, jaywalking, etc.), resulting in penal (not criminal) records for many youths. Despite its application since 2001, the policy has never been the subject of public debate and evaluation at City Council.

"Following on from my article "What is SEO and why businesses need to tune in?", once again I'm pitching this article to business or website owners who have a very limited knowledge of this subject in order to improve their online marketing. I'm not going to baffle you or presume you have any preconception of what's being discussed." Carl
"Hang up the jacket. Take it down. Put it on."
Maintaining a website can be a time consuming and soul destroying task for business owners. Many small business owners I've spoken to, quickly become disillusioned with the whole concept of online marketing.
Why? Well usually because -
- there isn't a quick fix
- there's no visible and significant change to their search engine status.
- business owners lack the time or inclination to keep a website up-to-date.
- there's no suitable staff available to update the website.
- there's no priority to improve the business website.
- there's no revenue available to work on the website.
- And most importantly - there's no obvious signs that it brought in new customers.
So what's the point?
Businesses who developed a website did so initially to promote their business. They recognised the advertising potential for their products or services online, so spent money on this. What they didn't consider was keeping the website active. Even if they did they quickly tired of it. They forgot the original purpose because they saw little reward.
What business owners rarely do is maintain and promote their website, thus rendering it - invisible.
The main reason your business has a website is so customers have a visual access to your wares and to attract new business. This is your showcase. Paying for a website, writing the content, overloading it with keywords and then forgetting about it is futile. Nay - damaging!
And consider this. Unintentionally, hanging your business out to dry in the depths of the internet wilderness can harm your business more than not having a website at all!
Nothing turns off online consumers more than an out-of-date website.
Consider your own behaviour and attitude when trawling the internet. When you're searching - particularly for locally supplied produce, or for specialist or bespoke services - how long do you remain on a website that's -
- visually barren
- has broken links
- is woefully out-of-date
- is badly written
- is crammed with the same words
- showing content irrelevant to that page
- or is grammatically poor?
How likely are you going to purchase from that company? It makes you wonder if the owner even read through the work representative of their company.
If your website content is poorly thought out, it informs the consumer that this is how you conduct your business. Your authority over what you do or what you're selling is questionable.
Business is a contract of trust. If your website has been neglected, badly written or inappropriately represented how can you expect potential customers to trust in your services?
Customers want to be wowed. They want a shop window that'll encourage them to walk in and look around.
Writing IS the first lesson in SEO.
Okay that's over 500 words and not a word about SEO? So what's going on here?!!
Well what you have read so far, is indicative for creating good SEO.
Whether you have an existing website or you're planning on creating your own, through template services (referred to as WYSIWYG- 'what you see is what you get' sites) or a professionally recognised web design company, your initial step to SEO should always be the same -
GOOD CONTENT (capitalised, bold and in italics because it cannot be stressed enough).
How do I write good content that affects SEO?
Before you need to concern yourself with the elements of SEO such as keywords, key phrases, meta tags, H1 and H2 titles, alt image, descriptions, social media, back-links, directories and categories etc., you must concentrate on the basics.
To achieve a good chance of a high ranking and online visibility right from the offset, it must begin with well thought out and informative content. Links, keywording and website activity is important, as is reviewing analytics and revising landing pages. But not yet!
Considering SEO elements when writing, will only harm your thought process and is like writing a book backwards. If you're not used to writing, particular for the internet, but are determined to write your own website content, my advice to you is this.
Sit down open up the notepad on your PC (or get a piece of paper and a pencil) and write about your business. No frills, no beginning, no format. Start with whatever is in your head regardless of what that topic covers. Don't worry about a start point or the ending. Find some quiet time and sit and write... and write...and write and don't stop.
Why notepad and not Microsoft Word or direct to the website?
Well, if you write on a documented word processor such as Microsoft Word, the chances are you will continually stunt your progress. You'll either keep fiddling about with formatting or checking your spelling and grammar.
Writing on a website dashboard also has the added worry of freezing or refreshing and not saving your progress. Plus one false move and you can mess up or lose everything!
Write unabated on a blank canvas. It will save you hours in editing if you leave it alone until you've finished.
Cover everything you do. Think about your topics. Depending on your business model, size and what you consider appropriate consider –
- What you do
- Where you work from
- Who your customers are
- What you produce
- Your personal experiences
- How you got into your work
- What your plans for the future are
Keep it interesting and if your business isn't technical – don't write technically.
Research competitors similar to your business.
Go to a search engine, preferably Google* and type in 2 - 4 keywords that you would expect to find your category of business under. These are keywords you should adopt within your own content. What other keywords and content is relevant to what you do?
Do use relevant information to provide you with your own ideas and thoughts. When you've exhausted yourself - stop.
Once you have your first draft 'copy', move it by cutting and pasting it into a processor like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, etc.
Now you can edit and format in preparation for your website. Grab portions of text and marry them with other parts that seemingly belong together. Consider your directories, sub-directories and how you wish to divide up your topics. From here you should be able to develop titles (Again, get examples elsewhere if it helps).
Proof your work
Find up to three 'literate' people to proof read your work. Regardless of how good your English is you will miss errors and perspective. Remember this work will represent your business. How important is it to you? Can it be easily read and is it without error?
(There's also a useful function on Microsoft Word called the Flesch readability score. Follow this link to find it. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/test-your-document-s-readability-HP010148506.aspx. Also see my Proof Reading page.
As I continue with this series, the articles on this subject will progress. I will move onto tips, tricks and techniques and much more advanced SEO that'll help you rise up the search engine ranking system. In the meantime -
- Bear this in mind
- SERP (Search Engine Ranking Performance) dominance is not achieved overnight. In fact, you must accept that certain keywords used to achieve a high search engine ranking can take months to achieve. Being No.1 or even on page one is not guaranteed or always achieved.
- Google has made it markedly more difficult to rank highly, as they're focussing more on revenue through Adsense when populating top ranking than traffic and keywords.
- Traffic could be misdirected onto your site and therefore not there to "do business" with you.
- Your ranking is not the only reason for having an active and attractive website.
- Your goal should be an informative and readable website to assist existing and new customers, to enhance your reputation and to fulfil your own sense of achievement.

Heathrow to Woking RailAir link bus
For travellers connecting to a cruise ship at Southampton, we have many dedicated pages laying out the public and private transport options available to and from Heathrow. See transport options between Southampton and Heathrow Airport
There is a choice of public transport options from Heathrow to Southern England including the main towns of Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Winchester, Salisbury.
The broad choice for the traveller is between cheaper, less frequent coaches, or a train option that although faster requires a RailAir connecting bus to Woking railway station from Heathrow to connect with the trains coming out of Central London to the south of England.
The main rail route from London to Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, Bournemouth, Salisbury and Yeovil passes about 15 miles south of Heathrow, So as to avoid having to trek all the way into London to catch these trains there is a RailAir bus (image at the top of the page) that shuttles between Heathrow and Woking. Your rail ticket can include the RailAir bus.

The RailAir bus is run by National Express. At Heathrow the bus only stops at Terminal 5 and the Central Bus Station between Terminals 2 and 3. From Terminal 4 you can take the Heathrow Express train that runs every 15 minutes over to Heathrow Central which is below the Bus Station. Frequencies are broadly every 30 to 45 minutes, the journey time is scheduled at 45 minutes between Heathrow Bus Station and Woking Rail Station.
There is an alternative RailAir bus that goes to Reading Station. It is possible to get trains from Reading to many Southern towns and cities but for the most part these are much less frequent.
For possible routes for your journey use use 'the Trainline' website.
As a general rule of thumb for journeys of around an hour or so there is no financial advantage in pre purchasing, you may as well buy at the station on day of travel. For longer journeys, advance purchase fares offer great savings.
Only on the main trunk routes are there reserved seats, most services you just grab the first available seat you like the look off. The three types of tickets are broadly:
Advance Purchase: Buy in advance, sold in limited numbers and subject to availability. These tickets will have restrictions specified when purchasing.
Off Peak: Buy any time, travel off-peak. The definition of off peak can vary from ticket to ticket. These tickets may require you to travel at specific times of day, days of the week or on a specific route. Where there is more than one Off-Peak fare for a journey, the cheaper fare with more restrictions will be called Super Off-Peak.
Anytime: Buy any time, travel any time (the standard ticket). Anytime fares are fully flexible tickets, with no time restrictions on when you can travel.
Advance purchase tickets on these longer distances on the other hand can be bargains. The cheap tickets are normally released 3 months prior to your departure date and the best deals often sell out quickly.
For the overseas visitor this can present problems as there are with few exceptions no true etickets delivered by email at present. Tickets can be sent to UK addresses by UK post and also internationally for a fee. You can however order tickets online and pick up the tickets from machines at key mainline stations, though Heathrow is not a major station and hasn't a machine.
At train stations there are manned ticket offices and also ticket machines. All major credit cards are taken as well as cash.
For fares and timetables use 'the Trainline' website where you can also order tickets for delivery to your home address.
National Express offers some direct services to/from Southern England bypassing London all together. The most frequent service to Poole stops in Winchester, Southampton and Bournemouth. Unlike the train alternative there are true etickets.
Most journeys will be far cheaper than train, especially if you get a return ticket. However frequencies are not as good and journey times are normally longer.
Cheapest promotional fares are available online in advance. Normally a return fare is much, much cheaper than two single fares. Unlike the railways tickets bought online are true etickets, visitors from overseas can pay by credit card and have their tickets delivered by email in a couple of minutes.
When you purchase a ticket for a National Express service it is for a single stated departure time. You do not get an individual seat number, but you are guaranteed a seat.
It is recommended booking a service at least 90 minutes after the scheduled arrival time of your flight. So what happens if your flight is late?
There is a range of ticket types available. Like airlines, the cheapest fares are no refund, no changes, you pay more for a fare that you can change schedule or get a refund if you change your mind.
Bus Waiting At Heathrow Coach Station
You can carry two medium-sized suitcases - weighing up to 20kg (44lb) each - plus one small piece of hand luggage per person. Drivers loading the baggage do not weigh bags.
Customers will be permitted to pool their individual allowances if they are travelling in a group or as a family, but they must be travelling on the same ticket.
Over this allowance and steep excess luggage charges kick in. Passengers within the luggage allowance get boarded first, those with excess luggage only get boarded if there is sufficient space left in the luggage hold, even if they have purchased a ticket.
All coaches from and to Heathrow stop at Heathrow Bus Station between Terminals 2 and 3. From the South of England most, but not all coaches will stop also at Terminals 4 and 5 on the other side of the airport.
It's worth checking if you are using Terminals 4 or 5 if more timely journeys come available by travelling from Heathrow Central Bus Station. The Heathrow Express train service operates every 15 minutes between Terminals 4 and 5 and Heathrow Central, beneath the Central Bus Station, this is a free service.
We have options to cater for all party sizes.
On transfers the amount of luggage can be as critical to the right selection of vehicle as number of passengers, so do pause to reflect on this aspect.
Saloon/ Sedan car or MPV/Estate/Station Wagon size vehicle. Will take up to 5 full size adults and around 4 cases with some small hand luggage. Ideal for a family.
Air-conditioned & Roomy Small Buses
All driver waiting time and airport parking included in airport pick-ups - no extra charges if your flight is delayed!
Baby seats or child booster seats supplied on request and are of course free of charge.
At passenger terminals the driver will be waiting for you as you exit the customs and luggage retrieval channel to escort you to the waiting vehicle.
Air conditioned roomy small buses with 8, 12 or 16 seats and lots of luggage room for small groups. These buses are proper purpose built buses, not cramped converted vans.
These small buses are small enough to get in the car parks at airports, big enough to qualify to use the special bus lanes in Central London.
The buses can also carry outsize items, commonly wheelchairs, electric scooters, bicycles and surfboards.
Drivers meet and greet at airports, hotels and ports just like the cars.
If you have a large group then that is not a problem either
The largest coaches are 50 seat coaches but we also have access to vehicles half that size.
With large groups if your average passenger is bringing more than one large case and a small item of hand luggage it might be the luggage capacity of the vehicle rather than the number of passengers that drives the correct size of vehicle required. The point being that estimating the amount of luggage you will be bringing is just as important as knowing how many people in your group.
With large groups just as small groups multi-drop and pick-ups from hotels is routine and if you require sightseeing we can arrange a guide whether it be an orientation tour of London or a niche interest of the group.
We do not put groups together for the purpose of vehicle sharing.
You are welcome to put your own group together. The key point with these charters is that the price is a flat rate for the vehicle, not per person. If somebody pulls out at the last moment the group are still liable for the full cost of the charter.

It is such a feature-rich plug-in that I really just scratched the surface with all that it can do. Hopefully this video will give a little more insight into how it works and some of the results you can expect from it. If you have any questions, drop me a comment and I will do my best to answer them. Have a great weekend!

Get personalized support for your family
Get personalized support for your family
There is already a law in place to protect your child's mental health and substance use disorder benefits. But unfortunately, families are still fighting to receive those benefits. When benefits are denied, the results can be tragic, as they were for Margot Head and Bill Williams, and the many other families with similar stories of loss.
Millions of families struggle to get insurance coverage for treatment. And those same families, in a time of crisis, are uncertain of the rights and coverage available to them under the 2008 Parity Act. Know your rights and what benefits you are legally entitled to for substance use treatment.
Make your voice heard by signing on below to demand insurance coverage for addiction treatment >>
By law, The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (Parity Act) requires your health plan to apply equal coverage to mental health and substance use as they do for other medical and surgical benefits. However, the Parity Act is not actively enforced. Moreover, since the Parity Act passed, the opioid epidemic has devastated communities across the country, leaving even more families in desperation while they struggle to find treatment and obtain insurance coverage.
We need your help to ensure that families may not have to suffer the same heartbreaking loss as the Williams family. Families are being denied coverage, denied medication for treatment and denied continual, individualized care. Families are faced with roadblocks at every turn in navigating the process and finding the relevant information in health plan documents.
We can no longer accept that benefits for substance use disorder are denied. Denial of care and treatment is a contributing factor to the 144 lives lost each day due to overdose.
If you have questions about your family's insurance coverage for substance use, please check out the Parity Guide from Legal Action Center. If you would like to file a Parity complaint, you can register it here.

- As many interior and exterior photos as are needed to show the entire property, including acreage. A standard 3BR, 2BA house will usually be about 20 to 30 photos.

Hot Hardware:-
September 10, 2007 is a big day for AMD, however. Today is the day AMD is officially taking the wraps of their native quad-core Barcelona-based Opteron processors. While the Barcelona core does still borrow heavily from their last-gen processors, it incorporates a number of enhancements for increased performance and power efficiency.

When the winter weather outside is frightful, cyber-shopping makes more sense than ever. With a few clicks all of us can go back to dreaming of sugarplums, or whatever makes the winter holidays special for each of us. Here are some books reviewed by others that are worth a year-end browse by the fire.
Brother Souls: John Clellon Holmes, Jack Kerouac, and the Beat Generation: Ann and Samuel Charters (University Press of Mississippi): ... Holmes, a good friend of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg and a founding member of the original Beat circle in New York City, also wrote several novels that were respectably reviewed. But he lacked the charisma and theatricality of the later Beat writers, and struggled for literary success even as his friends reached explosive levels of fame. It's only because of these legendary friends, and not because of his own fiction, that John Clellon Holmes merits an extensive literary biography by Ann and Samuel Charters today. Brother-Souls: John Clellon Holmes, Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation is unusual among literary biographies because its hero never had a breakout success. Instead, he filled out his career with dead end manuscripts, odd magazine assignments and college teaching jobs. In this sense, Brother-Souls is actually a more accurate glimpse of how most writers live than any typical biography of a famous writer. (Levi Asher, Literary Kicks)
Bringing It to the Table: On Farming and Food, Wendell Berry, Introduction by Michael Pollan (Counterpoint Press, above) If you aren't already familiar with Wendell Berry's essays and his fiction, Bringing It to the Table is an excellent introduction, and if you're already an admirer, wanting to spread the word to people on your holiday gift list, this book is a fine addition to Berry's recent publications. Born in 1934, Berry has been publishing poetry, fiction in long and short forms, and essays since the 1960s; he has been working a farm in Kentucky for about as many years. In an essay from 2006 he recalls, "In 1964 my wife Tanya and I bought a rough and neglected little farm on which we intended to grow as much of our own food as we could." Although he came from a farming background, he asked for advice from an organic gardener who was his editor at the time, and seeking out the source of that man's principles, he discovered The Soil and Health, by the British agricultural scientist Sir Alfred Howard. Berry says of Howard, "I have been aware of his influence in virtually everything I have done, and I don't expect to graduate from it. That is because his way of dealing with the subject of agriculture is also a way of dealing with the subject of life in this world." (Jim Quitsland, Sound Food)
What Was the Hipster? A Sociological Investigation: Mark Greif, et al (n+1 Books) All descriptions of hipsters are doomed to disappoint, because they will not be the hipsters you know. But to those of you who are reading What Was the Hipster in 2050, I can only say: Everything in this book is true, and its impressions are perfect. When we talk about the contemporary hipster, we're talking about a kind of cross-subcultural figure who emerges by 1999 and enjoys a fairly narrow but robust first phase of existence from 1999 to 2003. At which point the category of hipster seemed about to dissipate and return to the primordial subcultural soup, for something else to take over. Instead what we witnessed was an increasing spread and durability of the term, in an ongoing second phase from 2003 to the present. The truth was that there was no culture worth speaking of, and the people called hipsters just happened to be young and, more often than not, funny-looking. (Anonymous, Atomic Books)
Fishers of Men – The Gospel of an Ayahuasca Vision Quest, Adam Elenbaas (Tarcher Press): The cross-generational stories surrounding Elenbaas and his father, and his father and grandfather, sanctify the Freudian influence on drug writing. From the opening chapter when his father lays bleeding, holding a hunting knife, till the final modernist resolution, redefinition of all the relationships occur. It's very reminiscent of the poem "This Be The Verse" by Philip Larkin: "They fuck you up, your mum and dad./ They may not mean to, but they do./ They fill you with the faults they had/ and add some extra, just for you." The Freudian model, which places so much emphasis on a child's relationship with its parents as a foundation for personality structure, is being played out once more as a literary structure: "One of the most intense psychological settings in the world – the visionary space of ayahuasca" (201). The combination of the psychedelic experience and psychodynamic models is firm territory, not only in Fishers of Men, but in modern drug writing generally. (Rob, editor, The Psychedelic Press UK)

As I strike out words back and forth,
The scars on the parchment is the sole witness
To my frustration.
Like a woman in pain and awe
Anticipates the birth of a new life,
I wait for the litany to be set free
From the chains holding her back
In the dungeons of my sub-conscious mind.
I wait for her to come out,
For her to illumine my night to-day.

Teaching Board Awards 5-Year Assessment Contract to ETS
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has awarded a five-year contract to the Educational Testing Service to design and administer its assessments.
The decision last month by the board's 63-member governing body marks a turning point for the organization, which was founded in 1987 to set high standards for accomplished teaching and certify teachers who met them.
The privately organized group has certified 268 teachers using a complex process that has involved a variety of different contractors charged with designing assessments, giving them to candidates, and conducting research on the tests.
Now, those functions will be turned over to the Princeton, N.J.-based ETS, the nation's largest testing company, which also administers the Scholastic Assessment Test, Advanced Placement tests, various graduate examinations, and certification tests in other professions.
"We need this kind of solid experience and competence," said James A. Kelly, the president of the Detroit-based teaching-standards board. "There's no reason we should try to invent the wheel 100 different ways at once when it's already there in better form than we could possibly invent."
The board will retain control over all policy decisions, Mr. Kelly said, and its members will approve the contents of each assessment, the scoring procedures, and the method for determining which candidates to certify.
Teachers will continue to have a major voice in setting policy and determining the standards for accomplished teaching that are used in developing the assessments, he said. Practicing classroom teachers also will score the assessments.
"Nothing will change in terms of teacher involvement, oversight, and ultimately, teacher control," Mr. Kelly said.
The Educational Testing Service already has a contract to develop the national board's assessments for high school math teachers.
Nancy S. Cole, the president of the ETS, said the nonprofit company jumped at the chance to bid on the contract, which gives the ETS $6.5 million for its first 12 to 18 months of work.
"We're very excited about this association with the national board," she said. "We see this as cutting-edge performance assessment and some of the most difficult and challenging performance assessment being done anywhere."
Challenge for ETS
From the start, most educators and testing experts familiar with the national board have assumed that it eventually would contract with a testing company, rather than try to create a separate system for certifying thousands of teachers each year.
Administering the voluntary certification system would have been "a very complex process that would have diverted them from their primary goals," Ms. Cole said.
The initial charge for the ETS is to complete the six assessments that will be offered during the 1996-97 school year and administer them to candidates.
It also will participate in "joint planning activities" with the national board, including discussions of how to reduce the $2,000 fee now charged to candidates for certification.
The testing company will use subcontractors for some of the packages, Mr. Kelly said. The National Science Foundation has shown interest in financing a science-assessment project, for example, that would be coordinated by the ETS but designed by WestEd, a regional federal education research lab in San Francisco.
Although ETS tests increasingly include such performance elements as essays, Ms. Cole said the national board assessments would be "by far the biggest and most challenging" such work for the company. The company has been best known over the years for its standardized, multiple-choice tests.
The national board's assessments have been given in a two-step process. First, teachers assembled a portfolio from their daily classroom activities that included videotapes and written commentaries on their teaching. Then they visited an assessment center to undergo a battery of written examinations.
In its successful bid to operate the board's system, the ETS proposed using Sylvan Technology Centers as the assessment-center sites. More than 220 such centers operate nationwide, including at least one in every state.
Using Sylvan
Some members of the governing board initially balked at an association with Sylvan, which tutors children at its separate Sylvan Learning Centers. The for-profit company also has received school contracts in some cities to bring low-income students up to grade level, which some educators have criticized as a privatization of public services.
Testing at the Sylvan Technology Centers--which also give examinations in such fields as aviation and nursing--will make it possible for candidates to use word processing software to complete the assessments.
Miles Myers, the executive director of the National Council of Teachers of English in Urbana, Ill., and a close follower of the national board's work, said he was not surprised that the ETS won the contract.
"The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has played a very significant role in this area of performance assessment," he said. "I'm curious to see what its future role will be."

New Survey by State Farm probes distracted driving habits of Canadians
AURORA, Ontario, May 14, 2015 /Canada NewsWire/ - Times have changed. More than half of Canadians remember not wearing a seatbelt as a child. Now, the majority wear their seatbelts and thousands of lives are saved every year, but based on a new survey released today by State Farm, drivers still have life threatening bad habits to break.
According to the national survey of Canadians in urban and rural communities, who drive, more than nine out of 10 (93 per cent) respondents feel that other drivers drive while they are distracted. However, just over half (56 per cent) believe that they themselves rarely drive while distracted. This is a striking difference from how drivers view their own abilities behind the wheel compared to those with whom they share the road.
Additionally, 30 per cent of respondents indicated the most dangerous thing a person can do on the road is to drive distracted. About one third, (33 per cent) acknowledged that they check their cell phone or handheld device once or more while driving and 35 per cent admit to driving while distracted.
"We know that distracted driving is a serious problem in Canada," says John Bordignon, Media Relations, State Farm. "A 2011 Alberta Transportation study reveals that distracted drivers are three times more likely to be in a crash than attentive drivers. And, distracted driving is more than talking on the cellphone, texting or eating; it includes allowing your attention to wonder to things away from the road. These distractions can have devastating results and are completely avoidable."
The Big Distractions
Overall, survey respondents say they are most guilty of being distracted by things outside of their car like houses and people, and those over the age of 65 (54 per cent) are the biggest offenders. Other findings include:
- Respondents aged 35-44 were the biggest offenders of texting while driving (16 per cent) followed by those aged 18-34 (15 per cent)
- Respondents aged 35-44 cite that they often eat and drink while driving (21 per cent)
- Respondents aged 35-44 are also most guilty of being distracted by passengers/children in their car (21 per cent)
Families and Their Driving Habits
Adults worry about their children driving while distracted:
- Among respondents with children under the age of 20, 40 per cent said they try to teach their teen to not use their cell phone while driving
- Seven out of 10 parents list distracted driving and speeding as their teen's most common driving errors
- Respondents under the age of 20 said one of the most common bad habits of one or both parents is driving distracted (23 per cent)
Reducing Distractions
So far, personal experiences like traffic fines and collisions have proven to be the most successful deterrent for reducing distracted driving, with 58% of those surveyed indicating they are most likely to stop distracted driving behavior if fines are increased or they are involved in a collision.
"It obviously makes more sense for Canadians to drop their bad habits now than to wait for a collision or a ticket to curb their behaviour," says Bordignon. "Turning off your mobile device, staying focused on the road and the area you are travelling in, eating ahead of a journey, or pulling off the road to eat or make a call, are simple practices we can adopt immediately to significantly reduce the distractions we face while driving."
Animals Always a Concern
A split second of distracted driving is all it takes to hit someone or something. When asked what animal they are most afraid of hitting while driving, the majority of respondents (65 per cent) cite a deer or a moose followed by hitting a dog or cat (21 per cent).
A Transport Canada report found that between four to eight large animal vehicle collisions take place every hour. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources estimates there is a motor vehicle-wild animal collision every 38 minutes and approximately one out of every five motor vehicle collisions involves a wild animal. For example, more than 300 New Brunswickers are involved in a moose-vehicle collision every year.
State Farm partners with the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (tirf.ca) which creates evidence-based reports about road safety issues that help prevent injury and save lives. This includes a new Wildlife Roadsharing Resource Centre which will be released later this year. It will provide detailed data about where, when and what type of animals are prevalent in various parts of Canada. This publically accessible database will help governments and law enforcement better understand wildlife-vehicle collisions and how best to educate and alert motorists on how to avoid them.

POT TV – The Mernahuana Zone 141 Calm Before The Storm. After a fantastic TMZ last week, we've opted to take a chill, calm approach to this Tuesday, Feb. 18 webcast. Plenty is happening, but we're just going to enjoy resting on our laurels. We had a fantastic interview last week with Chuck Riffici from Tweed and appreciate our viewers tuning in to learn about Health Canada licensed providers. The Mernahuana Zone, a live webcast from Vapor Central on Yonge Street in Downtown Toronto every Tuesday 720-1020 pm EST or 420-720 pm PDT live on POT TV.
This week I spoke with my local MP Andrew Cash about affordability and access. There is a part of the Health Canada's Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations that is truly a kick in the teeth – nurse practitioners. I've ranted about this a few times on The Mernahuana Zone because though R v. Mernagh isn't mentioned in MMPR – the addition of nurse practitioners as a signing authority is our creation. It was malicious of Health Canada to add nurse practitioners knowing full well every provinces prohibits this body from signing for medical marihuana. I don't even think Nurse Practitioners know they can sign for medical cannabis. Did the federal government even consult their governing bodies? MP Cash is investigating because we have to change every provincial legislation to make nurse practitioners happen. With more people accessing the program comes affordability. Both companies we interviewed have programs in place to help people obtain some medications.
In more political news, Liberal party convention is this week and Justin Trudeau rolling papers are popping up. In a Banksy-esq inspired stunty, our own Chris Goodwin has reconfigured Zig-Zag papers with Trudeau as the zig-zag man. What I'd like to see out of this Liberal convention is a timeline for legalization. Given this legalization is a huge issue for the Liberal party – one of their own making – it's only fair to ask to see a timeline and specifics.
The @Mernahuana Zone is webcast weekly from Canada's stoniest destination @VaporCentral. Tune in and toke up every Tuesday from 720-1020 et or 420-720 pt. TMZ, available for download from Soundcloud and iTunes.

The issue is with trying to get default music player and the "3" music player to recognize the recently downloaded files without having to reboot the phone. I need to reboot in order for the SD card to be "cached" by the phone...at least that's what I think the problem is. Does anyone know how to do this through a setting or possibly and app that could do it for me without having to go through a reboot? TIA

Saturday, June 9, 2012
It's Saturday again. Summer feels like she is cleverly sneaking up on us, so I decided enjoy the weekend with a fun cocktail! After stumbling upon whipped cream flavored liquor I was inspired to create a beverage that mimicked all the cakes I love to bake up (like my favorite Earl Grey Tea Cake). I hope you have exciting and energetic plans this weekend because this Slice-Of-Cake Cocktail is sure to dazzle you!
Magic Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups milk
-1/8 cup frangelico liquor
-1/8 cup whipped cream flavored vodka (you have no idea how excited I was to see this on the grocery store shelf, it was like discovering hidden treasure!)
-1/8 cup water
-Candy cane garnish (optional)
(Serves 2)
Getting Started:
1: Mix the milk, frangelico, and whipped cream flavored vodka together in a pitcher.
2: Set up a prep station. I used tea saucers and filled one with sprinkles and another with water.
3: Turn a serving glass upside down and press into the dish of water and then press into the dish of sprinkles.
I hope you all are having an amazing weekend!

The LEGO Group recently announced its half year results for 2013 posting a 13% revenue increase that has been fuelled by strong growth in Asia and new product innovation. The strongest performance so far this year was experienced in Asian markets with growth in consumer sales of over 35% for the first half of 2013 with China being in the forefront, exceeding 70% consumer sales growth. Recognising Asia as a growth driver the company organised a press conference in Singapore giving an opportunity to multiple stakeholders to discuss the LEGO Group's ambitions and results so far.
The LEGO Group recently established a new regional Head Office in Singapore and announced that they will be building a new state of the art factory in Jiaxing China to supply products to the growing market. Once it's fully operational by 2017, 2,000 employees are expected to be employed at the most modern LEGO factory in the world. All products manufactured in the new factory in China will be sold within Asia. The company has a long history in the continent and is one of the 3 top brands in Asian toy markets today, outgrowing the market by a factor of 5 during the first half of 2013. The LEGO Group is expecting to increase its number of employees within other areas of the company in Asia by +50% in coming years.

It wouldn't have been something that I would have purchased for myself and when I first got the yarn, I tried a simple square and realized that it was really difficult to work with. Anyway, I thought I'd have another go at it because my youngest caught sight of the yarn and fell in love with it (it is soooo soft) and she's been on me to make a blanket for her. So, I decided I'd just make one big old granny square out of it until I run out and that will be it.
Once I got going on it, it's been surprisingly quick. It took a few rounds to get used to working with the ribbon yarn, but inserting the hook into granny holes is much easier than into a regular stitch. Here are some pics. so far:
So, a much needed break from moving activities has been a nice change of pace - a simple project to give me my crochet fix...Happy Sunday to you all!

"I stand up!"
Quentin's early acting work included appearing on stage in the chorus of the original cast of the musical Les Misérables.
In July 1996, Quentin released a single, a cover of the Exciters' hit "Tell Him", with her Men Behaving Badly co-star Leslie Ash under the name of "Quentin and Ash". The single reached number 25 in the UK Charts and disappeared three weeks later. From 1997 until 2000 Quentin starred alongside Alan Davies in Jonathan Creek playing the character Maddie Magellan, an investigative journalist, who uses Jonathan's mind to solve murder mysteries.
Quentin has also appeared in the 2001 telefilm Hot Money, which was based on the true story of the theft of hundreds of thousands of pounds from the Bank of England. In 1998 came the first sitcom to be built around Quentin herself, Kiss Me Kate. At the British Comedy Awards in 2004, Quentin won the "Best Comedy Actress" award for her performance in Von Trapped and in the same year, she started the major role of Maggie Mee in the popular drama Life Begins, which returned for a third series in 2006.

This week has pretty much been "all business." The weather has been getting nicer and warmer around here and its all I can do to keep my kids inside to do anything related to school!! But, we're doing our best.
He's still doing well and working hard to finish his papers in the morning (read more about our block schedule here). Most of the time even does them without complaining or arguing!! YAY!!! So, maybe we are making some progress.
This week we've actually not done our reading. I've been battling a Crohn's attack and most of my afternoons are spent sleeping from exhaustion. So, we've got some make-up work to get in, but we'll be back at it in no time…I hope.
We're continuing our study about the Stars this week in Science. Can I just tell you how amazing and AWESOME our God is?! It amazes me how He created such complexity in the universe with just the spoken word!! Oh what I wouldn't give to have sat next to him when he spoke everything into existence. Talk about AWESOME!! What a Mighty God we serve!
Tomorrow…er rather now, today (Saturday), we plan to set up our new "kid" gardens. I got them on sale for $5 a couple weeks ago. There hasn't been time to get them planted, but we're going to make time
I'll be sure to take pictures of us making a mess and having fun though!!
Well, that's pretty much it. Sorry we've been pretty boring around here this week. Hopefully I'll have more to report next week!
What did you do this week in your homeschooling journey? Feel free to share you favorite experiment, tip, idea or just a word of encouragement for others!!

While we're on the topic of videos, here's a DVD rip of a great 3hr documentary that my pal Bill gave me for my birthday recently (cheers Bill - I haven't forgotten it's your 40th soon, ya cunt).
The title's a bit misleading as I'd say at most only about half of it focuses on the 'Werk. The rest is a great, more in-depth companion to the BBC4 Krautrock documentary which was on a few months back (which is available here if you missed it).
Check out a review here, which highlights the lack of actual music on it, but the chat is great and you cannae beat a good rockumentary - I'll watch any old shite if it's music-related (same goes for books but that's another story).
In terms of the content, aye I fuckin loved it. Was saving it for a suitable moment over the festive season and it eventually went on about 6am at some point between Xmas and new year but me and the missus were both gripped for the full 3 hrs.
Don't be put off by the 21(!) RAR files to download. My RAR-making program only does it in 100Mb files so it shouldn't take you too long to grab - certainly less time than it took me to get it up there. Just double-click on the first RAR file and away you go.
If anyone hasn't read Julian Cope's indispensable guide to the scene, and you probably haven't as it only got one print run and is currently rare-as-fuck, someone's kindly made a PDF file that you can get here.
So, there you have it. One BBC4 documentary, one 3hr DVD rip and bit of bedtime reading. You'll be getting tested on this next month so make sure you get busy, class, and none of your shitey excuses - I've heard them all before...
Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution (DVD rip)
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14, Part 15, Part 16, Part 17, Part 18, Part 19, Part 20, Part 21

Systemic autoimmune diseases SADs are a group of connective tissue diseases with diverse, yet overlapping, symptoms and autoantibody development. The etiology behind SADs is not fully elucidated, but a number of genetic and environmental factors are known to influence the incidence of SADs. Recent findings link dysregulation of Epstein-Barr virus EBV with SAD development. EBV causes a persistent infection with a tight latency programme in memory B-cells, which enables evasion of the immune defence. A number of immune escape mechanisms and immune-modulating proteins have been described for EBV. These immune modulating functions make EBV a good candidate for initiation of autoimmune diseases and exacerbation of disease progression. This review focuses on systemic lupus erythematosus SLE, rheumatoid arthritis RA, and Sjögren's syndrome SS and sum up the existing data linking EBV with these diseases including elevated titres of EBV antibodies, reduced T-cell defence against EBV, and elevated EBV viral load. Together, these data suggest that uncontrolled EBV infection can develop diverse autoreactivities in genetic susceptible individuals with different manifestations depending on the genetic background and the site of reactivation.

Made this layout of Natalie's Chinese New Year party when she was at
kindergarten 4 years ago. They were singing a new year song in Chinese
and dressed in traditional new year costumes. She couldn't remember any
part of the song now and haven't seen these friends after we moved back
to our home school, so these are such precious pictures for us.
I use the sketch at Let's Get Sketch to make this layout.
Hope you all have a great day! Thank you for dropping by... ^_^

Over the weekend, Rhys Millen set the world's fastest time up Pikes Peak in 9 minutes and 46 seconds. Last summer, I drove up to the Peak and I think it took me around an hour. Ha! Traffic aside, there are so many tight, blind corners covering this 13 mile climb its hard to imagine someone can do it in less than 10 minutes. Not to knock him, well okay maybe a little, this was the first year the course was 100% paved. So, there is already a littering of hot debates across racing forums whether or not Rhys should get credit for the time. Or, if a new paved course record should be separate from the previous record when the course also covered a lot of dirt. (Photo courtesy of Hyundai)
Regardless of your take, checkout this video and get blown away at the sheer speed he takes hot corners.

The 24th annual High Times Cannabis Cup is now over. Thousands of red-eyed international tourists are heading home from Amsterdam, wondering why none of their local coffee shops can offer world-class marijuana and hashish like Holland's do.
B.C. has typically been well-represented at the Cannabis Cup, ever since Lovebud, from Vancouverite Darren Morgan, took third place at the 8th Cup in 1995.
This year was no exception, with Vancouver Island-based seed company House of the Great Gardener taking second place in the hash category for their entry called Hydra. According to the breeders, Hydra is a cross between strains called Warlock (90%) and Haoma (10%).
There's a variety of awards given out on the final evening of the Cannabis Cup, generally divided into two categories. One set of awards is for the cannabis available from participating Dutch coffeeshops, as ranked by the nearly 3,000 judges. The second set of awards are for seed companies and are judged by a panel of canna-celebrities.
Two coffeeshops usually dominate the awards: Barney's and the Greenhouse, and this year was no exception. Barney's won the cup for the best overall marijuana variety with a strain called Liberty Haze. Barney's also won for best Dutch-produced hash, with Liberty Melt. Greenhouse won for best imported hash with a batch of Exodus Cream Cheese. They also won Best Product with Grinder Cards, essentially a business-card sized grater used to bust up buds for rolling a joint.
Strangely, Colorado seed breeders took home most of the seed company awards, winning best Indica (Kosher Kush), best Sativa (Moonshine Haze) and best hybrid bud (Holy Grail Kush). Colorado has seen a boom in cannabis production and quality since the state legalized medical marijuana dispensaries in a 2000 referendum, and these Cannabis Cup victories show how far their genetics and growing skills have come since then.
The Cannabis Cup includes an expo with exhibitors showing off hand-blown glass pipes, specially designed fertilizers, hash extraction systems, prize-winning seed strains, plus endless weed grinders, lighters, rolling papers and every other possible accessory the modern stoner could ever desire.
The Cup and expo go from Saturday to Thursday night. But on Wednesday, Dutch police took over the expo hall, taking two hours to search everyone in attendance and bringing in tax collection officials to question all the exhibitors. Everyone had all of their marijuana and hash confiscated by police, and Mila, known as the queen of Amsterdam's hash scene, was arrested. Apparently she was in possession of too much leaf trim, which she had been planning on using for a hash-making demo. She was released later that day.
Despite this unprecedented police response, the expo continued on through Thursday as planned. Then the police returned on Thursday afternoon, and although they didn't search anyone, they encouraged organizers and exhibitors to shut down a bit earlier than scheduled.
Part of the reason for the police intrusion may have been that the expo was in a different location than previous years, at a hall situated in the town of Borchland which seems to have a slightly less tolerant perspective than neighbouring Amsterdam.
The final awards ceremonies took place at the Melkweg club, which has been used for this purpose for many years. Yet Dutch police even came to the Melkweg, and told organizers that any smoking of cannabis or tobacco would have to be done outdoors, and not inside like usual.
These setbacks were ultimately minor ones, and as the pot culture is used to being harassed by cops, no-one was too worried or upset. If anything, the police involvement served as a stark reminder that even in the world's most cannabis-tolerant jurisdiction, marijuana remains illegal, and those who use it are risking their liberty to continue their love affair with the world's most wonderful plant.

Archos ChefPad announced
French company Archos has had their fair share of Android-powered devices in the past, and this time around, it is no different with the introduction of the new ChefPad. The name of the tablet itself would have given the game away, as this particular tablet was specially designed to survive in the kitchen – since it would target cooking enthusiasts who do not mind having a digital cooking assistant that also packs enough firepower underneath the hood in order to deliver a decent personal entertainment experience.
Just what kind of hardware do you think we are able to find underneath the hood of the Archos ChefPad? For starters, there is a dual-core 1.6GHz processor that will be accompanied by a quad-core graphics processor, not to mention having the flexibility of capturing self-portraits with the front facing camera and a back facing camera, too, as both of them weigh in at 2-megapixels. Full HD (1080p) video playback is also supported, while you will be able to enjyo direct access to thousands of apps, videos, and music to cook by thanks to the ChefPad's compatibility with Google Play.
The 9.7" Archos ChefPad will run on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and it ought to hit the market sometime this June for $209.99 a pop. What makes the ChefPad special would be the inclusion of the Chef Apps Selection, where aspiring Chefs are able to pick and choose from a selection of the best cooking apps which range from recipes, cooking tips and cooking TV to cooking assistant apps. This will be an exclusive app program that curates the best of all apps from Google Play regardless of the category, making it a whole lot easier for the end user to discover the most suitable content. Other hardware specifications include 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory that can be expanded via a microSD memory card slot, Wi-Fi connectivity and a mini HDMI connector. Any takers for the Archos ChefPad?

This is a great concept, but I like that my tablet has so many more functions in my life. I bought my current tablet after I started working at DISH, and not only do I use it while I'm cooking, but also when I'm at work, or just hanging out. I record cooking shows of my favorite chefs, and I stream my DVR recordings with DISH Anywhere on my tablet while I cook; it's almost like having a professional chef right there in the kitchen with me.

Why a biography where motorcycles are just in the background and are not the main topic of this book should be mentioned in my Blog? Because some life stories need to be told to as many as possible, and I am proud of helping spread the word about Katy Ishee blistering ride of unwed motherhood, familial alienation, bikers, drugs, and insane asylums.
She is a strong willed person who survived being coerced in giving away a child, who traveled several times coast to coast jumping all hurdles of life, suffered abuse in silence, screamed to be heard, never gave up on her dreams, still finding the strength to laugh and to give love to others.
You will get mad hen you hear about her fights with governmental mental institutions, laugh at her biker stories and maybe cry reading her no-love stories and end up feeling good about her demonstration of resilience, realizing the ability we all have to overcome what life can throw at us. A movie in preparation? Who deserve it more than Katie Ishee. A gem. Pieces Of My Heart.
