I've been wanting to make a post about this beautiful dress that The Lavender Chair has come up, but it is so hard to make good pictures using just my phone when my model is my 3 year old niece. Ah! she is so adorable but I can't even have a descent picture of her.
I took so many pictures of her, but this is the only few clear enough and that she is facing front. She was so distracted watching Dora. But I can't turn off the TV for it would be more difficult to picture for she would always run around.
This is my 2nd attempt to make her model this dress. This dress goes to my friend's daughter, this is not actually hers. But she gladly comply to model it, she has one like this also in green.
The color is supposed to be just one color, the one in lilac, but I run out of yarn. And it would take forever to order one. It's really hard to order yarn from where I am. And there is no other way for me to obtain yarns but through online only. And the courier sucks, it would really take me weeks to have my orders. So I decided to use another color, I actually have to choose a lot but my husband suggested this one. I am not really sure the what color this is, for I just picked it up among my scrap yarns and it doesn't have any label anymore.
I am relieved that it turned out well, and my friend actually like it better this way.
So go ahead and check out The Lavender Chair's blog and try this one. The pattern is easy to follow but it is not for the beginner. She actually have other dress pattern for toddlers (girls). And just as I scan through her blog today, I think I might do another dress for my niece... it's so adorable and it's easy and fast to make. You can find the pattern here or you can just click on the links in this post.

I remember those days when I used to sit at my favourite seat beside the window, nursing a cooling cup of coffee. The slight strain of RnB music streams faintly from the pub a couple of shops down. Sighing, as I went back to work – trying my best to focus in the balmy breeze.
I remember those days when the sun was scorching hot. And panting, we ran across the street for a join the queue for an iced drink. Whining, as we find our way to some shade under the awning of a nearby restaurant.
I remember those days, when it was warm and humid. Friends and more friends around. Taunting, laughing, encouraging… just minutes before they tossed me into the pool. Anger, annoyance, fear, as I somehow waded my way out.
I remember those days, when cash wasn't easily available. When we'd wander the malls, window shopping for hours, trying to buy time before we caught up with the other half of our group who were still stuck in classes. We'd walk past fancy restaurants serving RM10 tea and wonder, how could they spend that easily.
I remember those days, when I didn't have to think about 'those' days.
I miss.

Students from Dromore High School are preparing to start real businesses in partnership with Graham's bakery and the QuickStart Programme run by local charity Young Enterprise NI.
Graham's bakery approached Young Enterprise NI to utilise their programs that bring together companies and classrooms, encouraging students to be creative and begin to develop entrepreneurial qualities at a young age.
Grahams are running the QuickStart Programme, supported by Ulster Bank, which sees Year 11 students develop a marketable cake product and business plan under the guidance of Tim Graham over the course of 8-10 weeks.
The class will be split into two companies and each will have the opportunity to compete for sales with their branded bakes in the local area, stores and online.
The programme culminates with the students pitching their business to a panel of top Northern Irish businesspeople who will decide upon to the top QuickStart company.
Cathy Morrison, Senior Development Manager at Young Enterprise Northern Ireland, said: "Quick Start is a fantastic way for the students to gain first-hand experience of how business works.
"Over the year they will prepare a business plan and design, produce and market their product.
"They will also be expected to present a report and business accounts.
"We were very excited when Grahams Bakery approached us about this program, and all at Young Enterprise wish the two teams every success with their businesses."
Grahams Bakery, established in May Graham's kitchen in 1956, has been in Dromore for 60 years.
It is now managed by the third generation - granddaughters Esther and Lois and grandson Tim.
Young Enterprise NI is a charity and is principally funded by the Department of Education.

With summer just around the corner, I plan to buy a new BBQ grill. My old grill took a beating last winter (R.I.P.), and I want to replace it in time for the May 2-4 weekend. Since a full-size BBQ is no small investment, so I wanted to do my research and figure out what is the best BBQ to buy.
Sounds simple, right? Not exactly.
I started with a basic question: what is the best BBQ to buy? Since most of my friends are renters (and most landlords are not keen on balcony fires), I went to the internet in search of the best grill reviews.
It turns out there is a lot more to buying a BBQ than choosing between propane or charcoal. I quickly realized I would need to ask myself a spread of other questions before I could figure out what is the best BBQ to buy.
Based on the best grill reviews I've read, here's a list of other factors you should consider when deciding on a new BBQ:
- Size: How many meals do you plan to cook at once? While the extra-large, multi-level grills are enticing, they are not right for everyone. The rule of thumb for BBQ size is to have 50 square inches of cooking space for every portion of food. If you only cook for small family, a smaller grill will better suit your needs.
- Quality of Materials: A BBQ should be safe, stable, and built to last. Stainless steel costs more upfront, but it lasts longer than aluminum and sheet metal. You should also watch out for sharp corners and edges, and be sure the grill will not tip over easily. This is something you can only test in-person, so it is good to check out the grill at a local retailer before you order it online.
- Temperature: Most BBQ grills have an adjustable temperature, but some models offer a wider temperature range from others. You will want to pay attention to this if you plan to cook foods that need a precise temperature, like fish.
- Burners: In general, BBQ owners end up replacing burners more often than any other part of the grill. Check out the best grill reviews to see how long the burners usually last for other users. A good burner should last at least 10 years.
- BTU: British Thermal Units (BTU) indicate how much gas a BBQ grill uses and how much heat it can produce at the highest setting. 40,000 BTUs is enough for chicken and vegetables, but you will need about 60,000 to cook tougher cuts like steak.

This is an issue that I've addressed, had a client with a horrific problem show up yesterday. I knew it was hitting our youth strong but I can see now its even creeping into 25 - 30 year olds. YEP! Your busted. I'm no psychologist but the way some of my clients that will cop to it ( its very easy for hair stylists to tell if you have this issue -btw) explain it, it seems to be very similar to OCD issues as I understand it.
HELP ! Out of Control Problem
OCD: Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder and as Wikipedia describes it, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)is an anxiety disorder characterized by obsessive, distressing, intrusive thoughts and related compulsions ( tasks or rituals) which attempts to neutralize the obsessions. OCD is distinguished from other types of anxiety, including routine tension and stress that appear throughout life. The reason I put this in here, is so those of you that have this {which there are some of you right now reading this} that do indeed have this to one degree or another... must realize that it is a serious issue. Now I know from experience with my clients that many, as soon as it is pointed out, can stop. It takes some work, and some effort - its not just, "oh, I think I'll stop" . . . nope, its a bit more serious than that. it must be worked at and something must replace that urge to flat iron. If you have the urge to flat iron and cannot stop I can suggest 2 things.
1.) If you can afford it, I would suggest making an appointment with a Psychologist that specializes in OCD for a month or two, at least.
2.) There are many great books on OCD, which is the choice if you cannot afford it. I have used this method to work with about every single problem I've had - I even raised my children reading books! I feel they only publish books from the best in their field, so why not read a book for excellent information.
Now for those of you that have FIA and can deal with it on your own I would like to offer a few alternatives for you before you fry so much of your hair off there will be no recovery. I mean it, I want to scare you...because the person that was in my chair yesterday has to go on a very strict program or she will have no hair left soon. She used extensions AND a flat iron numerous times every day and the damage is done, I am hopeful that we can save her hair but it sure reminded what is out there.
Becoming dependent on your flat iron is just not a great habit to get into. Remember . . . what is the single worst thing that can damage your hair ? ? ? ? ? ?
Therefore, think about it... if heat is the single worst thing you can do to your hair . . . then > really HOT heat on 2 metal plates that are then pressed very tightly onto small sections of your hair, MUST be horrific on its condition. That just has to be the worst way to damage your hair, don't you think. You can begin to burn the hair off, I saw it on the girl yesterday . . . it can happen to you, FIA is a REAL - serious problem.
Electrical Tools have their place, but try giving your hair a break from excessive heat styling once in a while - learn to love your hair natural texture, one of the main mottos of Vidal Sassoon Academies worldwide. VS believes and they are right that if you use your natural texture in your hair style your hair will look better and as much as even I tried to fight that idea, they are right.
If you cannot go completely cold turkey on quitting the iron - re-educate yourself on using them by following my iron-safe guide ...
Hopefully you have an iron with a temperature control, most have them. Try straightening your hair with the temperature at a lower level. Experiment, I don't want to recommend a temp & it isn't right for your particular tool. Find the coolest possible you can get away with and keep it there, no reason at all to use the hottest temp.
Cheat that super-sleek finish by just ironing the top sections. Which means the top layer of the hair that is showing. This is the only part that is seen so why take the risk of damaging the rest of the hair !
If you know that you're going to be wearing your hair up, save time and help your hair's health by bypassing the irons. Hair that's got a little texture looks more modern in an up-do and will hold a style for longer if it has a rough texture as opposed to the smooth texture achieved with the iron.
Don't just use the irons to straighten your hair, they can be used to create a variety of styles, from flicks to volume to curls. If you have not mastered these yet, the trick? Practice - practice - practice. The only one a tad tricky is the "curls", but it is easier on the hair than using a curling iron that has heat in the entire circle and uses a hot CLAMP as well. Mastering the Flat Iron curl or wave is much easier on your hair and its condition than a full blown curling iron so set aside an hour or two for a couple days in a row and get it down!
The Golden rule of all electrical styling is to use a heat protector, like Kera Care's Silken Seal...a spray silicone serum without alcohol, every time you reach for the heat, to give your tresses some well deserved protection. Many companies make one, beware for an ingredient called denatured alcohol, it is drying for hair and should not be hair styling products.
Finally, my suggestion to everyone is to go BACK TO THE BASICS. What did we do 'before' Flat Irons were made by every single hair company and had every bell and whistle on them. I'm waiting for there to be a combo flat-iron and cell phone. Wouldn't that be the next logical step? Anyway, break out the blow dryer and brush. I like the look better anyway - I just think it has to do a bit with laziness, there is no easier way to style the hair than a flat iron.
Now , if the damage is done and you are saying to yourself, I'm quitting> now and decide to throw the iron away ( I've had plenty of clients go this radical) you will need to get serious about deep condition treatments - PRONTO. Give your hair the time and TLC it needs to recover. Invest in a re-hydrating and restructuring shampoo like KENRA'S Platinum Shampoo , SLS-Free and uses real Shea butter to moisturize hair. 8 OZ Bottle, to use everyday.
And Invest in a moisturizing deep Hair Conditioner that you must begin giving yourself overnight treatments with immediately. Here at Killerstrands we recommend our own little miracle, THRIVEN. The deep conditioner concocted by myself about 6 years ago and sold in the Malibu Salon I worked for. There is also a secret supplement that must be started - which you get the name of 'with' the purchase of your first jar of THRIVEN - we have had terrific luck with for hair health and hair growth. Almost all notice a remarkable difference in their hairs condition after the very first treatment. You may purchase this in the Side>>>>>Bar, there is a 1 click Buy-Now Button that will take you directly to Killerstrands Pay Pal account. Simple and safe.
If you have FIA to a serious degree and have nowhere to turn, please join our group -- we would be glad to answer your questions, there are a lot of people in our hair group forum with a lot of helpful answers and can be very supportive, many with lots of experience including myself. http://groups.google.com/group/killerstrands/topics
We have a nice group with some very kind and helpful members I am proud to call my friends. Please, consider joining and we will be more than happy to discuss anything hair related. . . . including FIA.
Check Those Flat Irons at the door Boys and Girls!

After two weeks under the reign of a skeletal biker, four fleshy bikers took charge of the box office, and overall business was up 20 percent from the same frame last year.
Wild Hogs raked in a porky $39.7 million on around 4,100 screens at 3,287 theaters, the third-highest grossing March opening on record behind the Ice Age movies and the biggest start ever for a road trip comedy. Distributor Buena Vista brought home the bacon on the first weekend of March before with the comedies Bringing Down the House in 2003 and The Pacifier in 2005, each opening to over $30 million.
"The tracking services had us at best in the mid-$20 million range," said Chris LeRoy, Buena Vista's senior vice president general sales manager. "We chose this date because of the historical success we had with The Pacifier and Bringing Down the House, and Wild Hogs seemed to fit that mold." Buena Vista's exit polling indicated that 53 percent of Wild Hogs' audience was male and 65 percent was over 25 years old, with age 35 to 49 the top group at 26 percent. The overall grade from moviegoer pollster CinemaScore was "B+."
The premise of four suburban guys going on the road as bikers had broad appeal, and the casting of popular actors John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy helped put Wild Hogs over the top—the opening was a personal best for both Mr. Travolta and Mr. Allen. Buena Vista cut a fun trailer and aggressively marketed the picture, including a shrewdly-placed spot during the Super Bowl.
Black Snake Moan slithered to a soft $4.1 million at 1,252 theaters, or about half the opening of Hustle and Flow, the previous picture from director Craig Brewer distributed by Paramount's specialty unit. Black Snake Moan, with its tale of a man who chains a girl to his radiator in order to redeem her, was a difficult sell, marred by the marketing's vacillation between drama, comedy and exploitation.
Meanwhile, Ghost Rider's trajectory continued to mirror Daredevil, down 42 percent to $11.6 million for $94.8 million in 17 days.
In limited release, The Lives of Others had a solid expansion. Going from 58 to 112 venues, the German-language drama extracted $781,095, up 77 percent for a $6,974 per site average. Its total stands at $2.3 million in 24 days.

A 2008 Bugatti Veyron sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $700,000 — a reasonable price for a 1,001-hp supercar with 12,000 miles. After the hammer fell, the buyer placed a new bid of "just kidding."
The Veyron was the star attraction of the auction, and considering its original $1.4 million asking price, $700,000 seemed like a decent price, despite the outrageous maintenance Veyron ownership demands.
But when Barrett-Jackson went to finalize the sale, the winning bidder pictured above got some expensive cold feet.
"First, he said he didn't bid, then he said he was 'trying to help,'" auction company chief Craig Jackson said, declining to identify the head faker. "The bottom line is, he said he wouldn't buy it and we booted him." President Steve Davis later held up the buyer's lanyard from the podium, saying "here's all that's left." (That used to mean something else in Vegas.)
Jackson then offered the Veyron back to the underbidders for the same price. When none bit, he bought the car himself for $700,000, and later said he expected one of the phone bidders to step in.
What have we learned? Veyrons may not be holding their value all that well. People in Vegas can exhibit questionable financial judgment. And if you're going to punk a popular car auction, don't do it on live TV. (H/T to Richard & Jon!) [Speed TV]

There are certain ways of playing the various games that characterise our world of sport, standard approaches and skills that we are taught and then strive to master as best we can, all having their own methodologies and ideas as to how they should be accomplished. Yet now and again an individual or a team offer up a new way of doing things – a new approach that is thrown into the ring. International Test cricket is currently experiencing this thanks to New Zealand and their captain Brendon McCullum. A concoction of instinct, commitment and skill is shaking up and revolutionising this format of the game, stretching out the boundaries of Test cricket and providing a new template for how it can be played.
Reaching the World Cup Final demonstrated their excellence in 50 over cricket but it is in the Test arena that the Black Cap's gradual rise is most intriguing. It has taken their performance in the recent two-match series against England, for which they thoroughly deserved their draw, for the appreciation to come in its droves. Their victory in the Headingly Test was only their fifth in England but it was the margin of victory that is noteworthy – 199 runs being 5 short of their largest ever in Tests, the task they had set their opposition being to meet the second highest fourth-innings score ever made. This was the direct result of the way this modern-day New Zealand side applied themselves in each facet of the game. If there was ever a side that lives or dies by its sword, it is Brendon McCullum's New Zealand. The man born in the Sport Lived Gap year destination of Dunedin has a side who are taking the game by storm and receiving appreciating glances and endorsements from pundits, fans and players alike. They are throwing caution to the wind, intelligently applying a one-day mentality to the game's longest format – and thus far with admirable success.
The batting has to be given the first appraisal because the run-scoring has occurred at a sustained pace almost unprecedented in Test cricket. Tempo and keeping the scoreboard ticking is everything. Not by trying to bash the leather out of the ball at every available opportunity but by simply playing with aggressive and attacking intent and shot selection. During their second innings at Headingly eight of the ten batsmen who took guard hit a six – that has never been done before. The closest was seven, achieved by? You guessed it, New Zealand last year. McCullum even hit his first ball right into the gawping spectators. On day one BJ Watling scored 120 from only 163 balls, while Luke Ronchi struck a quick-fire 88 off only 70 balls to turn fortunes in their favour. Martin Guptill and Ross Taylor scored 99 together in under 15 overs. When they resumed on 338 for 6 in their second innings, the Black Caps amassed a further 116 runs in just 16 overs. In six sessions they scored 804 runs, at almost 5 an over. To do this over such an extended period is mightily impressive and almost unparalleled in recent years. It is all the more compelling when you consider that they were 2 for 2 and 23 for 2 in each innings. They play their shots and try to knock the bowlers off their lengths and lines; the skilled batsmen attack whenever they can while the tailenders have the freedom to swing to their hearts content.
Such purpose with the bat is mirrored in the field. McCullum is willing to experiment, keeping attacking fields longer than any other captain. For example, he will often keep two slips in place when the opponents are scoring freely. Their fielding in Tests over the past year has been stunning, stemming from each player committing fully to every ball, irrespective of the match situation. From start to finish opposition batsmen are made to work for their runs; the intensity never recedes. Fuelled by an attacking mind-set, fielders are alert and ready for the chances that come their way, meaning catches stick more often than not. McCullum trusts his naturally attacking instincts with his field-placings and bowlers, the latter led by a Southee-Bolt opening partnership that must surely be one of the most effective pace attacks in world cricket right now. These are not just talented bowlers but real competitors with an infectious positivity.
And here lies the crux of New Zealand's resurgence – positivity. It dovetails with their competitiveness and talent and thus makes them so appealing to cricket fans as they are seemingly playing free of any burdens or worries, simply enjoying the game they adore. Enjoyment is the aim, increased success the consequence. It also significantly means that success and failure are dealt with the same level-headed composure. There are no hangovers from losses, while difficult situations during matches can quickly be overcome. Watch them play and you'll notice that they do not sledge. It was only two years ago that they were bowled out for 45 by South Africa; a turning point for McCullum and coach Mike Hesson who subsequently set out to imbue the positive culture that is now thriving. The attacking mentality and the risks do not always pay off, and can gain criticism when they back-fire, but the invigoration and emphasis on taking the game to the opponent persists – just look at how they recovered after the defeat at Lords.
Indeed New Zealand were the catalyst for that tremendously dramatic and exciting first Test of the series at the home of cricket, lauded by many as one of the best since the famous 2005 Ashes against Australia. England could not afford to not follow suit through risk of simply being blown away; caution was replaced by ambition. The fact that many have pronounced their regret that England only got to face them in two Tests is telling, as was Joe Root claiming that England had it in them to score 411 runs on the last day pitch at Headingly. Cook's side are moving hesitantly in the same direction as the one McCullum has crafted in his own image. The last side to have this sort of impact on Test cricket was a leading Australia team full of stars such as Steve Waugh, Shane Warne, Glenn Mcgrath and Ricky Ponting. This New Zealand one is less heralded and come from a far more humble starting point.
Only time will tell if New Zealand's cricket revolution will set a new trend for Test cricket. Yet the instinct, commitment and skill that they continue to demonstrate as they take games by the scruff of the neck is certainly getting heads turning. In the words of McCullum,
'If you get out, drop a catch or bowl a bad ball it's not the end of the world. But jeez, you can have some fun, if you put your heart and soul into it."

The site of the new Carlsberg train station was once the home of the first Carlsberg Brewery. Now that the Carlsberg production facilities have been moved out of the city, the area is undergoing a transformation into a residential neighbourhood, which will feature private homes, businesses, shops and educational and sporting venues. The new S-train station will be at the heart connecting the district with the rest of Copenhagen. It is predicted that it will become one of the busiest train stations in Denmark when it opens in 2016.
Project architect Mette Neimann explains: "In its essence, the station consists of a platform and two bridge decks, which extends beyond the track and platform, thereby creating a cover over the platform and deck space above the station for bicycle parking, access roads and urban life."
The construction makes beautiful use of concrete, as its predominant material. "Among other things, we create a contrasting pattern in the concrete surface. We create this effect via a complicated formwork structure prior to the in-situ casting," says Mette Niemann. The design of the pillars also presents a challenge as they must be assembled from 14 different concrete elements that all have to fit together perfectly.
Construction has already begun, with the concrete casting of the foundation complete, and the casting of the bridge decks underway. The station is planned to open in 2016

Never was a passing grade so important.
Welcome to the United Commonwealth – a group of 18 colonies in North America that survived the brutal effects of biochemical war and natural disasters. Every year the Commonwealth selects the best and the brightest graduates from each colony to be candidates for attendance at the University where they will use their talents to help restore the earth and help the Commonwealth thrive.
As the youngest graduate in the smallest colony, mechanically inclined Cia desperately wishes to be chosen for The Testing, but she knows her chances are slim. And yet – four are chosen and Cia is one of them. But her elation is short lived for her father believes the testing isn't as it appears. Students who don't pass are never heard from again and those that do move on can no longer remember what happened during those fateful days. Now Cia must decide who to trust and hope that her wits are enough not only to get a passing grade, but to keep both her and her friends alive.
Colour me intrigued! The Testing sounds like an honour on the surface, something any academic student would strive toward achieving.... but dig a little deeper and the sinister secrest come to light! I WANT TO KNOW MORE. What exactly happens to the students who don't pass? Will Cia make it through? I'm very interested in learning more about the world-building too.

gst-av is a GStreamer plug-in to provide support for libav (fork of FFmpeg), it is similar to gst-ffmpeg, but without GStreamer politics, which means all libav plugins are supported, even if there are native GStreamer alternatives; VP8, MP3, Ogg, Vorbis, AAC, etc.
This release takes care of a few corner-cases, and has support for more versions of FFmpeg.
Here are the goods:

ok well it may soud strange to some of you but i recently bought a valve for a cannon i have now made.
i set up the elctronics for it(didnt want to 'soup' it up just yet), fired it a few times. great cannon, works perfect
i then notices a small black screw just to one side of the sloinoid, i turned the srew and KA-POW the piece of carrot i had stuck down the barrel went flying gracfuly in a low arc intop the family car.
i have now scrapped the electric 'trigger' and now use this sort of manual overide screw to fire the cannon.
just wondering if anyone else has found this sort of thing on any sprinkler vales??

The so-called debate between Republicans and Democrats over health care has got me thinking. Neither side is arguing for freedom in health care; both sides are arguing over different types of tyranny in health care. And while they furiously debate trivial details, in principle Democrats and Republicans are united in seeking to grant Washington arbitrary control over the health care decisions of Americans. And why stop with health care? For food, shelter, clothing, education and transportation are more basic needs than health care. So total government control over health care logically translates into total government control over just about every important aspect of life. Hence, if current trends continue it's only a question of time and tactics before manifest tyranny entraps us all.
In more philosophical terms, man has but two options: freedom or tyranny. Freedom means life under the rule of God's and nature's law; tyranny means rule under the arbitrary will of the powerful few. As alluded to above, there is no middle ground. There's no such thing as coherently mixing freedom – the rule of higher law – with tyranny – the rule of human whim; the inherent contradictions in any so-called middle way must ultimately give way to freedom or tyranny. Indeed, the so-called middle way is a ruse used by would-be tyrants to trick people into abject servitude.
In broad outline, freedom means decentralized and legitimate authority protecting voluntary and just market exchange and private charity, and also providing for a safety net aimed at empowering the truly unfortunate.
In broad outline, tyranny means the powerful few exercising total control, unrestrained by any higher law, over the lives of the multitude.
The system of freedom can only be sustained by a virtuous people – a temperate, just, prudent, fortitudinous and rational people. The system of freedom can be likened to hearty and just men and women, harmoniously pursuing their diverse ends, served by rational, humble and accountable authorities dedicated to the common good.
The system of tyranny can only be tolerated by a blindly obedient people, by a people degraded to live as little more than bipedal cattle. The system of tyranny can be likened to a rabble ruled by knaves, to brutes under the arbitrary control of masters dedicated to their private good.
The system of freedom can only be sustained by sheepdogs; the system of tyranny can only be tolerated by sheep. The system of freedom means men and women empowering one another to strive for greatness; the system of tyranny means men and women reduced to an undifferentiated mass of drones who live and die to serve the queen.
The choice, then, is a simple one: freedom or tyranny. The former means the power for men and women to do as they please, subject only to the laws of nature and nature's God; the latter means the power of the slave-master to arbitrarily rule over his slaves. Freedom promises happiness; tyranny guarantees unhappiness.
The genius of western, Christian civilization – most notably as expressed in the founding documents of America – provides a general road map to freedom and prosperity. The destroyers of western civilization – the new world order globalists who presume to rule us – provide a general road map to tyranny and misery.
We are living in a transitional period, with the march toward tyranny getting faster every day. We can choose to go back to the path of freedom or allow ourselves to be lured into the snares of tyranny.
The tragic irony of it all is the principles of freedom – imperfectly implemented as they were – produced the very advances in science, technology, education and medicine that the tyrants seek to control and redirect to advance their selfish interests.
In closing, you cannot serve two masters. Get informed, make your choice, and live with the consequences.

|A new pool completed the renovation of one of the pre-war homes I owned and fully renovated.
Question: What do saltwater pools and saltwater aquariums have in common?
Answer: Water.
That's about all. When some house hunters see "saltwater pool" in Greenwich listings, the first thing that may come to mind is that last trip to the ocean seashore or swaying palm trees. Visions of having their own playful pet dolphin in the backyard might flit through their consciousness (training: easy; maintenance: not so easy) before the practical questions begin to intrude— like having to rinse salt off after every dip, worrying about salt spray wrecking the lawn. Ultimately, the question would probably be, who in their right mind wants a saltwater pool instead of freshwater?
The answer: some practical-minded Greenwich homeowners might. Saltwater pools aren't filled with seawater. The "saltwater" moniker refers to the way the fresh water is filtered and recirculated. There is a slight amount of saltiness to the water, but nowhere near what's found in the oceans.
In a way, it's really a shame that the name is what it is—especially when it causes potential buyers to make the connection with saltwater aquariums. People who've dealt with one of those know how difficult they are to maintain needing to keep all sorts of chemical balances in equilibrium—and that takes constant vigilance.
Saltwater pools sidestep that drawback. They use electricity to manufacture the chlorine needed to battle microorganism growth—then continually monitor the result. These systems automatically start the pool pump when needed, resulting in less demand for homeowner monitoring.
That same convenience has a downside, however, because pool pumps have to run longer than they do in manually chlorinated pools. The reason is a complicated technological explanation having to do with the difference between the filtration systems (electrolysis vs. added cyanurates)—the long and short of which is fewer expensive chemicals (traditional) vs. higher energy costs (saltwater systems). You can learn a lot about salt water pools on the internet at sites such as Research Funding or by talking to your local pool company. Haggerty Pools in Stamford helped me make the change to a saltwater pool a few years ago and are very knowledgeable.
With a background in project management in the residential building industry and being a real estate broker in Greenwich CT, I am happy to talk to you on the impact of home improvements on future resale value—even if that future sale isn't an immediate prospect.

So I've been wondering lately, for a variety of reasons, if I am enough.
When things get a little 'ho hum' in some areas of my life and it seems like the lives of others are far more exciting and 'on track', it is interesting how the negative thoughts begin to creep in. Am I enough to be a good daughter, a caring friend, a functional worker, a potential partner…? The list goes on. With all this contemplation my normally chirpy self begins to feel colourless, like the sun has disappeared behind a cloud leaving me bathed in shadow.
In times like this I find it helpful to search for a way out of the mental quagmire (don't you just love that word?!) by talking to friends, reading my bible, or browsing through what's online. In a recent web search I found some lovely discussions on the topic and I particularly resonated with this post by Jen Lemen (via Tracey Clark's blog). It is amazing to discover too how many feel this way at one time or another – a very comforting thought!
So if you are, or have been, in a similar head space I want to encourage you, or as the Merriam-Webster dictionary puts it, "inspire [you] with courage, spirit and hope"! Read something that makes you smile, go for a walk in the park, watch a movie that makes you laugh, or hug a friend and truly feel them hug you back. In doing so you'll be reminded that you are alive…and enough!
Voices in my head
Dispelled by friends, hugs and sun
Yes, I am enough

Michael Jackson's FBI Files Released
According to newly released FBI files, Michael Jackson underwent over 13 years of monitoring by the FBI, and was at the center of investigations for possible assassination and terrorist plots.
The FBI files were released on Tuesday, Dec. 22 and date from 1992 through 2005. Of a total 600 page only 333 were made public, the remainder of which were held back to protect the bureau's techniques.
The files reveal that Frank Paul Jones, a man who was obsessed with Janet Jackson, was arrested on Jackson family property in 1993 and sentenced to two years in prison for "mailing a threatening communication." Jones was also tied to death threats made against mobster John Gotti and former president George Bush.
"I decided that because nobody is taking me serious, and I can't handle my state of mind, that I am going to Washington, D.C. to threaten to kill the President of the United States, George Bush," Jones wrote in a letter seized by the FBI. "Michael [Jackson] I will personally attempt to kill, if he doesn't pay me my money."
While the FBI looked into possible attempts on Jackson's life, in an effort to protect the King of Pop, they also investigated Jackson twice for child molestation, but were never able to uncover enough evidence to build a case.
In 1993, the same year they arrested Jones, the FBI began monitoring Jackson for possible child molestation, after a member of the Los Angeles Police Department traveled to the Philippines to interview two former Jackson employees who alleged that they had seen him inappropriately touching young boys.
The FBI did not officially get involved until 2004, when Jackson was arrested for a separate instance of child molestation. They examined 16 computers owned by Jackson, but found nothing conclusive. "He was not a criminal and he was not a pedophile," Jackson's attorney stated at the time. "The fact that so many agencies investigated him and couldn't find anything proves he was completely innocent." The FBI was later called in to investigate an alleged child pornography videotape labeled 'Michael Jackson's Neverland Favorites an All Boy Anthology,' but they concluded that the tape was too blurry to make a positive identification.
We're impressed that the FBI spent all those years monitoring the King of Pop, yet turned up very few revelations.

There is a need to start a new journey. I am redefining the way I will be offering marketing contents to small business and tech entrepreneurs looking to social media as a tool to build their business. To this end I am launching my new twitter handle - @DigflySocial.
It has been a little challenging sharing exclusively with those looking to use the social web as a brand building tool. That is the reason for the change.
It will help me to take care of a single community, those who are looking to use the social [media] web as a tool to connect and build a profitable relationship with their audience/customer.
Who makes up the community?
Any business looking to use the social web to market in an unconventional way. Old way of selling does not work on the web. I wrote a post about that.
- Small and medium scale enterprises
- startup tech entrepreneurs
- Marketers who help their company to use social media
- online community managers
- bloggers and content creators
- ad copy writers.
To all those we've been sharing since I opened my twitter account in July 2010, I say thank you.
A special thank you goes to Olajiga Oyin [@OlajigaOyin]. She took me through my first twitter lesson. I remember it was in November '10 when I returned to see if I can make twitter work.
Twitter 101 was my first and most memorable lesson. 'Tweet to others as you want them to tweet to you,' she told me. It is still relevant today as it was to me then.
Let's start the new journey together @DigflySocial I would still be tweeting as @@jesseoguns, but the new account would be more pro than personal.
How do you manage your personal and professional account when using twitter for your business?
I will like to hear from you in the comments.
To see some of the result of my one year learning on the social web, you can go through some of the more than 40 posts I have on the blog. Expect new things from me.
If you know someone who fit this category you can refer them to this post. Thanks.

Just wanted to let you know of some good things that are happening at the moment.
Last week, and this week, there is an 'intensive' class running for staffworkers of COMPA - the Mexican IFES group. 10 staffworkers have gathered from all corners of Mexico here in Monterrey, at the house of our friends John and Jan to have a 'mini-sabbatical' of study and fellowship while the uni students are on holidays.
The aim is that each student will complete (including doing the exams) 3 MOCLAM courses in 2 weeks. Last week I taught New Testament 1 to one group, while another group did Old Testament 2. This week, I'm John and I are teaching Old Testament 1, while one of the more experienced students is teaching Creation to New Creation to a couple of newbies, and two others are helping each other through Reformation Church History. In their free time they are reading Doctrine 1 by themselves.
Its been a great time so far, and promises to continue this week. Amongst the study there is plenty of time for discussing other issues, eating and mucking around.
So - good things happening here.

Panda Sign In Nuclear Medicine
One choice is the wikibook Basic Physics of Nuclear Medicine This guide covers a lot of the identical material as in the final half of IPMB. Medicine and Dentistry — Knowledge of the knowledge and strategies needed to diagnose and treat human injuries, ailments, and deformities. The MRI showed a protracted meniscus tear, a bone spur in the knee joint, a cyst behind the patella, and very thin cartilage on the end of the femur. Individuals with earlier power or repetitive pressure injuries have experienced re-damage or aggravation of those circumstances in this program and/or as a technologist. However, it was shortly spirited away by the USA for probable use of their nuclear programme.
This offers oblique information about how it is working: normally, abnormally, diseased, injured and so forth. In nuclear medicine research, the radiopharmaceutical usually solely goes to the part of the body or organ system if it has some perform and so exhibits how it's working. In view of the small size of the specialty, a excessive proportion of nuclear medication consultants are concerned in instructing, mostly at put up-graduate degree. The Society of Nuclear Medicine was shaped in 1954 in Spokane, Washington, USA.
The student can be scheduled in 2-week rotations in a variety of nuclear medication digicam rooms underneath direct supervision, offering them with opportunities to use their skills in affected person care, study acquisitions and laptop processing of acquired information. In nuclear medicine, radionuclides—unstable atoms that emit radiation spontaneously—are used to diagnose and treat disease.
Nuclear medicine differs from different diagnostic imaging applied sciences as a result of it determines the presence of illness on the basis of metabolic changes fairly than adjustments in organ structure. You affirm this by looking on the next desk, which is able to show the actual bone mineral density, the T score and the Z score. Nuclear Medicine 2016 goes to held in Cologne, Germany's fourth-largest metropolis and one of the major European metropolitan areas with more than ten million inhabitants.
Web page review process: This Web page is reviewed often by a physician with experience within the medical space offered and is additional reviewed by committees from the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), comprising physicians with expertise in a number of radiologic areas. Through CPMI, nevertheless, these research are carried out and interpreted together by a staff of cross-skilled specialists, leading to one built-in report for the referring doctor that comprises a cohesive evaluation of the patient's total situation.…

Hello Everyone,
For the next month, my posts will be slightly different. I will be doing the A-Z April Challenge (those eagle eyed readers will have seen in my sidebar the logo for this for the last week or so). I will explain what this entails (for me, not you as readers, you just continue reading and hopefully enjoying my posts).
Every day (apart from Sundays) I will post on a subject beginning with a letter. The 1st of April will be A, the 2nd B and so on until Z. There doesn't have to be a theme, but with my love of theming things means that of course I will choose a theme. So, without much further ado, my theme is… dun dun dun… Grace's A-Z of books! Books I've read, books I haven't, books I want to, books I don't. Everything bookish. I've even made it harder for myself because I am still doing my link-up Five on Friday, so on Fridays I will be doing 5 books beginning with that letter.
I hope you're looking forward to the next month of bookish heaven, I know I am.

Andrew JUDAS Young! Sell Out!
You went on Soledad O'Brien CNN Apologist expose about Civil Rights Era Iconic Photographer Ernest C. Withers involvement as an alleged FBI paid Informant and stated that "We have no problem with Ernest acting as an agent of the Government because it was OUR Government and we were acting within the law"
You ignorant sell out! I guess you have no problem with Dr. King's phones being tapped, or any mis-information campaigns that went against him. How bout FBI Chief J. Edgar (MARY) Hoover's operations designed to discredit, and disgrace Dr. King. They wanted Dr. King to commit suicide. That's YOUR Government that you were a lawful citizen of doing that. The same one Ernest Withers supposedly was a paid informer for?
What about all the Freedom Riders or Black Liberation/SNCC/Panthers that YOUR Government framed, murdered, jailed or ran out of the country?
Shame on you Andrew Young! You've gotten too comfortable! You've sat on too many boards, and went to too many dinners. YOU SOLD OUT!
If Ernest Withers was an INFORMANT then he was wrong! It was wrong and there is no excuses for it! Mark Clark (Chicago Black Panther Party) is dead because of an informant! Chairman Fred Hampton was murdered beside his pregnant Wife because of an informant!
It was a War Andrew! A war in which the American Government was the enemy of the Afrikan American Citizens! You have to choose sides! You have to choose methods! Dr. King's method and tactic was Non Violent Resistance! But his side was Black Folks! The Oppressed!
Remember, the last scene in the Orwell's Animal Farm. The Pigs and the Men became indistinguishable to the other Animals at the end.
You've betrayed Dr. King and the movement! You betrayed the people! I hope they say this at your Funeral after they read off all your awards that ultimately they were HOLLOW cause you sold them out!
BE Prayerful! BE Mindful! BE Careful!

It's that time of year when the last thing you want to see is the orange glow of the electric element or the blue jet of the gas, so how about some dishes for you to "cook" for dinner or lunch when you don't want to cook. And these are meals that are more than just a sandwich and require just a little effort.
Cold soup: If elegant rather than peasant rustic is more your thing, there is a world of no-cook soups out there. The Spanish blitz fresh tomatoes with cucumber to make gazpacho, or add bread and sherry vinegar to make "salmorejo". The Tuscans make a chunkier tomato soup ("pappa") the same way. Dress the Spanish version with cracked smoked almonds and the Italian with loads of fresh basil and lemon zest – and both with heaps of good olive oil. Delicious!
Melon soups made from cantaloupe or watermelon have a similar cooling virtue. You could also try carrot juice blitzed with loads of spinach, adding a little fresh ginger and avocado for creaminess.
Or go the whole mile and make an avocado soup by pureeing a couple of avocados with vegetable stock, coconut milk, salt and lime juice. Then top with loads of picked cooked crab. Coriander, green chilli and a few drops of coconut vinegar will complete the soup.
Bulky salads: Think about how you can add cheese, nuts, tinned beans or pulses, packets of cooked brown rice or fish like smoked trout to your salads to make them more filling and suitable as a stand-alone main course.
Think of watermelon with goat's cheese, pistachios, green olives and cucumber; or Italian white beans tossed with vinaigrette, ripe tomatoes, thin red onion slices, blanched almonds, black olives and some of those white anchovies that the Spanish love. On the cheese front, good shaved Italian Parmesan is perfect with raw globe artichoke hearts or thinly sliced portobello mushrooms. Dress the artichokes with lemon juice and olive oil and the mushrooms with a balsamic dressing.
The Arab way: The Arabs, Turks and Greeks all know a thing or two about dealing with the heat, so think about a shared meal of tzatziki (also known as "cacik"), hummus, tabouli, pitted green olives tossed with parsley and pomegranate molasses.
Or think about stepping this up as plated meal, perhaps with a slick of hummus dressed with fillets of canned sardines and a blizzard of cubed tomato flesh and chopped parsley.
Bread salads: After a day out, there may be the desire for something a little more carbohydrate heavy, which can prove tricky if you've vowed not to turn on the stove. One solution is a bread and tomato salad like an Arab fattoush or a Tuscan panzanella, where the dressing and the juice of super-ripe tomatoes soften the bread deliciously.

Dickinson Collection
Winter snow scene with the side of the Morgan House and its garden, ca. 1930. The house, (187?), 25 Broadway at East Main St., was the residence of Christopher Morgan in the 1920's. The house appears on the 1879 map of Mystic but is not shown on the 1868 map. In 1868, the property was owned by Charles Mallory. Data on house is incomplete. The house was razed in the 1940's or 1950's and an A & P Supermarket built on the property. This house was a good example of the Second Empire style.

Last fall I harvested
and dried calendula petals
with the idea they would make pretty soap.
Also because calendula is said to have anti inflammatory properties.
My mom really struggles with arthritis
and I was hoping this soap might help her.
It not only has the calendula petals sprinkled on top
but infused in the oils and some mixed in
She'll be able to try it in a few weeks. Once it has cured. I'll also have some in my shop if you'd like to try a bar. I'm calling it Hello Sunshine.

Can't freaking wait! I saw this recently on the old edited vhs rip. Cheesy to be sure, but there's also some pretty chilling scenes, great atmosphere and camera work. Only thing missing was a hefty dose of gore which this release is surely going to give us :-) I'm nabbin' this the SECOND it's out.

A Note on Access to Devices:
Layar is the only tool of the 12 in this learning program that is exclusively available on a mobile device, because of the nature of its being used 'on the go'. We recognize that not everyone will have access to a compatible device, but would like to recommend you read through the process on set-up and use of the tool regardless. This module was designed to give you the general concepts of the tool regardless as to if you have a device to experience it on.
Augmented Reality is becoming a part of the materials that libraries are circulating, such a magazines, newspapers, novels, and some libraries are even starting to incorporate it into their own signage and marketing, so library employees should have a general understanding of the tools required to use the technology.
If you are fortunate enough to have access to a device through your library, we recommend using it to familiarize yourself with the tool itself. If you do not have access to a device, please just read along.
What is it?
Layar is an app that you use on your smartphone or mobile device, currently available on iOS or Android.
The app provides an experience it calls "Augmented Reality" (shortened to AR). You simply scan anything that has AR component with your smart phone, and it directs you to multimedia content on the subject
. This can include websites, media platforms, social networking, and other online features.
Layar's definition of Augmented Reality:
Augmented reality (AR) is cutting-edge technology that allows for a digitally enhanced view of the real world, connecting you with more meaningful content in your everyday life. With the camera and sensors in a smartphone or tablet, AR adds layers of digital information – videos, photos, sounds – directly on top of items in the world around us. (https://www.layar.com/augmented-reality/)
Essentially, AR is bridging the gap between the physical world to the digital world.
AR is being included in more media, advertising, and platforms, magazines, newspapers, and even novels, and that list keeps growing. Imagine scanning the cover of your novel with your phone, and be taken to a book trailer, a site all about the author, information on the series, or even a read-a-like list. Use your smart device to scan pages from children's books with interactive components and experience the characters coming to life via online animations. Many companies are starting to provide this service so people can find more information about their product or service on the spot. Others use it to link you to contests, web sites, advertisements, promotions, social media, multimedia, or any where else on the internet. In library environments we are seeing more and more AR available in print media, such as newspapers and magazines, and library workers need to know how to use this component of the materials so we can better demonstrate to our patrons how to use the technology, and the benefits that it provides. Libraries are starting to find interesting ways to use AR technology, like having AR components on end-shelf displays, maps of the layout of the library, instructional help for online catalogues. The options for using AR are only hampered by ones creativity.
How do I Get Set Up?
Simple as can be! On your smart device go to the appropriate App Store on your smart device and download the Layar app. Once you open the app on your device it will take you through a very simple tutorial, and you are ready for your first AR experience!
Okay, I'm signed up. Now what?
Now, you start experiencing the world through augmented reality! Whenever you see the AR logo, simply open the app, point the camera on the device at the AR logo so that the device shows an image of what you are scanning on the screen, then tap the box that appears on the screen. That's it. It will instantly provide you with the options available for that particular AR component.
For your first task with Layar, find either a newspaper publication or magazine that uses AR. Reader's Digest is one example of a publication that has adopted this technology, so perhaps start there.
In the example seen below, a movie review in a newspaper was scanned, and there are options to view a trailer of the film, get general information on the movie, facts on the movie, and a movie rating of 47% of movie critics having liked the film.
Things you should know:
QR Codes can also be scanned with Layar, and it will directly connect you to whatever is "behind" the code, connecting you to digital content related to everyday objects. Anywhere a QR Code is used, the Layer Scanner will be able to read it and sent you on your way.
Congratulations! You've completed the Layar module.
Don't forget to reflect on your experience with Layar on your WordPress blog.

So --- my daughter comes up to me last night, put her hands on her hips and says (and I quote):
"Hush, girl, shut your lips... do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips."
Anyone recognize this?? Yes indeedy-- my daughter was quoting a song whose chorus is "Don't Trust a Ho".
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. After all- we ARE pretty gangsta.
Oh wait. That's me. My bad, homie.

Sorry, Wrong Number…
They say using cellphones (or smartphones for that matter) is bad for the human brain.
First, it burns it… secondly, using address books makes you forget the numbers, and researches found that remembering phone numbers can improve your brains performance.
Yesterday I had a call and it was a "sorry, wrong number" kind of calls… and I suddenly thought about it, that with today's address books, there are very few "wrong numbers".
Think about it. When was the last time you got a wrong number?

Sulaiman, J.
1. This second appeal arises out of a suit brought for possession of the site of a house by removal of the materials standing thereon. The main question in the case was one of fact whether the plaintiffs were or were not the owners of the land. Both the Courts below have decreed the claim holding that the plaintiffs' title is fully established. The lower Appellate Court has found as follows: 'From the voluminous documentary evidence referred to in the judgment of the lower Court it was conclusively proved that plaintiff No. 1, who is respondent No. 1, was the purchaser of all the rights of the appellant in Sarai Goshain, a Mohalla in which the house in dispute was situated, and the, plaintiff No.2 was the auction-purchaser of the rights of the other zemindar Tikam Bharti in this house and, therefore, neither the appellant nor the other zemindar had any right left in themselves in respect of the site or the materials.' It is contended on behalf of the defendant-appellant that the Court below has drawn wrong inference from the documentary evidence on the record. The Court of first instance had set forth the documentary evidence in detail and showed that the house in dispute was mentioned as item No. 17 in the sale certificate which was granted after an execution sale on the basis of a simple money decree in 1916. It also referred to a number of other documents showing that the entire title had passed to the plaintiffs and nothing had remained with the defendants. It is, however, contended on behalf of the appellant that, when a number of documents have to be construed, the question as to what proper inference can be drawn from them is one of law and not of fact and can, therefore, be gone into in second appeal. Reliance is also placed on the case of Mathar Singh v. Ranbaz Singh 61 Ind. Cas. 65 : 19 A.L.J. 149 : 3 U.P.L.R. (A.) 27, and it is urged that in that case the learned Judges went into the whole of the evidence on the ground that the findings, which were apparently those of fact, were not based on evidence but upon evidence which had been misread or misunderstood. It may be possible to distinguish that case on the ground that the question of fact raised in that second appeal was one which had nowhere been put up as a plea in the written statement. That was a circumstance which very probably influenced the learned Judges in going through the evidence once again. However that may be, I am bound by the recent pronouncement of their Lordships of the Privy Council in the case of The Mid-napur Zemindary Co., Ltd. v. Uma Charan Mandal 74 Ind. Cas. 482 : 21 A.L.J. 723; (1923) A.I.R. (P.C.) 187 : 4 P.L.T. 627 : 33 M.L.T. 291; (1923) M.W.N. 832 : 4 M.L.J. 663 : 25 Bom. L.R. 1287 (P.C.) where it was laid down that, 'where documents admitted in evidence upon that question are really historical materials, and although they have to be construed, and if possible understood, they are not to be treated as involving issues of law merely because they have to be construed. It is not as though they were being construed as instruments of title, or were contraots or statutes, or otherwise the direct foundation of rights.' It Cannot be suggested that the sale certificate referred to by the Court of first instance which expressly contains a recital that the house now in dispute was sold, has in any way been misconstrued. The learned Vakil for the appellant also is not able to show which of the particular documents referred to by the first Court has been wrongly interpreted. The question really is not one of misinterpretation of any document or documents of title but one of inference of fact from voluminous documentary evidence. I am, therefore, of opinion: that the question, being one primarily of fact, cannot be challenged in second appeal. The appeal is without force and is hereby dismissed.
