They told me that if I didn't kill the prisoners then they would kill me.' [...] I killed ten, perhaps 11, over three days,' she says, slowly and almost disbelievingly, counting the murders on her fingers. 'I don't know what they had done.'
Fatma was a zealous supporter of the regime, says Nisreen. 'She told me that if my mother said something against Gaddafi that I should immediately kill her. If I said anything about the leader that she did not like I would be beaten and locked in my room. She also told us that if the rebels came, they would rape us.'
It was a shameless piece of manipulation from the militia leader who, according to Nisreen, pimped her female recruits for the sexual gratification of her senior male colleagues.
'Fatma had an office at the 77 Brigade base and there was a room with a bed next door. One day, she summoned me and put me in that room by myself. Mansour Dau, who was the commander of 77 Brigade, then came in and shut the door.'
He raped her.
The Green Resistance in Libya has brought us a first-hand account of a girl who was captured by the pro-NATO terrorists. Below is her story, the story of total depravity and a telling example of the type of person (?) that the USA, France and the UK sided with in Libya. Surely if you arm and finance terrorists like this, you are responsible?This clarifies "the victim is a Libyan girl who wishes to remain anonymous for her own security, since she escaped from an NTC prison." She does in the interview only give the name "Abumenyar Knight." But I see little point in this. Physical, not identity, security is her concern now. She should, as one interviewer suggested, record her testimony, have it presented, and in the meantime get to Algeria. I could see Tunisians arresting her at the conference, on an outstanding warrant, and possibly even sending her back to Tripoli. Not good. Stay escaped, #1 priority.
The identity's as good as out, whether I say it or not. She's given her details of her captivity locale (Matiga), spoken of her tale of jumping out a window, and saying falsely that she was raped by Mansour Daw. Any rats trying to hunt her down will know these things, so the world may as well. This is (allegedly) "Gaddafi's girl executioner" speaking now without armed rebels around, without being shackled to a bed, perhaps with unseen needle pricks under her fingrnails. I look forward, as many others will, to seeing video proof that the same person is now saying these things. Re-visit this report: "From her hospital bed, she's finally able to tell her story, insisting that she was forced to kill..."
Pendlebury: "Her eyes were beautiful but completely blank, whether from shock, painkillers or both..."
Update, April 19:
Still no news on her account. I hope she's still safe, if she ever was. I'm still not convinced this isn't an exceptionally-nuanced hoax. I searched for upcoming or recent conferences in Tunisia and got a lot of hits, lots going on in Tunis, but no clear choice I noticed for which one rebel abuses in Libya would most likely be mentioned at.
I did find this from Libya S.O.S., on Nisreen, before and after. They make a very good point about her genuine smile amongst popular guards friends compared to her hollowed-out stare after being "liberated" to tell "her story." There's also an older report about a 25-year-old Nisrine Mansour, on the vice squad beat in Tripoli. From the Huffington Post, June 2011, she said:
"Moammar Gaddafi is the one who opened the opportunities for us to advance. That's why we cling to him, that's why we love him," says Mansour. "He gave us complete freedom as a woman to enter the police force, work as engineers, pilots, judges, lawyers. Anything."Not a propaganda pawn for NATO-proxy Islamist torture-jackals. To win that freedom, one has to have the protection of "the regime" blasted away from around you, liberated to experience the transformative power of chaos and cruelty...

FSC® COC Certification Granted to Herrington's
Forest Stewardship Council® Recognizes Herrington's
Exceptional Designation = Greener Building Options for Healthier Community
"This certification is a very big step in an extensive Green Initiative Program we have underway," confirmed Patrick Thilmany, Business Development Manager at Ed Herrington, Inc.
(Hillsdale, NY) – Ed Herrington, Inc. is pleased to announce it has formally received Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) Chain of Custody Certification granted by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) #SCS-COC-002262. The SCS is accredited by the FSC® to certify companies to their international standards. This internationally-renowned recognition includes Herrington's as one of a small but growing number FSC® certified lumber yards in the Tri-state region, the geographic area long served by the company. This unique certification is effective immediately and allows customers to purchase and receive specially-designated, well-managed wood building products at Herrington's Hillsdale NY store, located at 312 White Hill Lane.
According to their web site (http://www.fscus.org/about_us/), The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) "was created to change the dialogue about and the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide. Products bearing the FSC® logo, which guarantees that the wood came from a certified well-managed forest, are available across the world. Any FSC® labeled product can be traced back to a certified source. "Herrington's Hillsdale NY store is now one of only a few lumber yards in the entire Upstate New York – New England region to hold this certification. FSC® Chain of Custody Certification means that Herrington's meets strict tracking requirements for ensuring that products they sell as FSC®-certified come from a well-managed forest. This is an enormous improvement in the availability of environmentally-friendly building products for Herrington's customers.
"We must do two important things: advise our customers about the existence of these responsibly managed products, and make sure we are the most convenient and educated resource for purchasing and utilizing these items," confirmed Ed Herrington, CEO, Ed Herrington, Inc. "In the building industry, the concept of "environmentally responsible" is moving from a niche field to being right at the core of the industry. Increased federal involvement with financing and housing will bring increased standardization of building practices, and with concerns about extinguishing natural resources, that means more requirements for LEED and other sustainable building projects. We want to be fully prepared to help our customers and communities meet these impending challenges in the best possible way."
In order to obtain this important FSC®-certification status, Herrington's needed to compose a Chain of Custody procedural document, which details how Herrington's staff are trained in the handling and sales of FSC®-certified products, a critical link in the preserving the "chain" that connects the plantation that grows the wood to the ultimate consumer who will build a new home with it.
The certification process for Herrington's was carried out by the Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) (http://www.scscertified.com/aboutSCS/). According to their own website, the SCS is "an FSC®-accredited, independent, "third-party" certifier. SCS certifiers evaluate both forest management activities and Chain-of-Custody (COC) tracking for mills, manufactures and distributors. COC certification addresses a company's ability to track certified products throughout their inventory and distribution processes."
With this newfound FSC® certification in hand, Herrington's will be able to place special orders for the FSC®-certified building products customers increasingly desire. In the very near future, the company will have FSC®-certified products available on-site at the Hillsdale store.
At Herrington's, FSC® recognition is a significant development within the company's larger Environmentally Responsible(sm) Product Sourcing Program. A proprietary system developed in-house at Herrington's over several years, the program was designed to help customers quickly and easily find the most earth-friendly products in the company's extensive inventory.
"This certification is a very big step in an extensive Green Initiative Program we have underway," confirmed Patrick Thilmany, Business Development Manager at Ed Herrington, Inc. "Soon we will have staffers certified by other national entities concerned with best-use building practices and state-of-the-art sustainable development. Customers and local projects -- like the new LEED-certified public library building project in Hillsdale – will benefit even more from the newly-acquired professional development and certification of our on-site experts."
About Ed Herrington, Inc.
Ed Herrington, Inc. was established in Hillsdale, NY in 1906. Long a leader in providing exceptional lumber, millwork, and building supplies, today the family owned and operated company has five locations in Hillsdale, Hudson, Chatham and Millerton NY, and in Lakeville, CT.

Self-Development – Tarot Card Reading
In today's article, I'm going to talk about a self-advancement that had caused look at online tarot card readings. In my minutes of self-questioning, I go deep into myself and take a look at if, with the death of time, I have actually grown as a person. I prod myself into asking if I have gotten that strength of character if I have actually kept my stability undamaged and if while doing so, I more than happy with the person staring back at me in the mirror. I want to understand if the significant people in my life have actually become enriched and happy due to the fact that I exist in their sphere.
I take a look at me and I sometimes see individuals who radiate an unmistakable radiance of joy and contentment. Not that I envy them (although there are unusual celebrations that I feel a little twinge of it), but I question how the manage to achieve such joy of presence. Do they fill themselves with sure-fire suggestions for a better living? Have they unlocked the trick to being rich in character? Have they mastered the art and science of focusing their energy to attract the favorable forces in deep space? Do they hold a steady faith and unshakable rely on the Divine Being that they release themselves from concern and care?
I really want to know, therefore, signing up with the bandwagon of individuals who have an interest in improving their personal lives, I check out a number of self-help books from the known to the obscure authors. These experts in life-improvement present their thesis in different ways. Others go about it methodically and almost, while some only mean these guidelines. There are guidelines that apply in everyday interactions with self and others and there are those which are so tough to follow. Obviously, there are loads of videos in the shop and on the internet, preaching methods for great effectiveness in all elements of life.
My quest for self-development has led me to websites on the internet that use online tarot card readings. I have not tried it, however, I heard that it can be excellent in helping me through aspects of direction, life purpose and other areas of self-improvement and personal development. Checking out it, I check out the statements of visitors (who frequently have their cards check out) of the great benefit they reap from consulting live psychics online. One man was grateful that he has actually been efficiently assisted in making his choice on a profession move and another woman was delighted that she discovered the love of her life when she asked for a tarot card reading. I am heartened upon reading about a widow who lost her other half and who has actually been consoled when she talked with an online psychic.
Great Benefits Comes With Tarot Card Reading
Do you understand that your past, present, and future depend a lot on the positions of the worlds that govern your fate? All the perturbed souls out there who have actually been combating with the unfavorable emotions ought to seek sanctuary in Astrology so that clarity of their ideas can assist them through the rough weather condition. Tarot Card Reading is a conventional form of art where everything about the most important events of your life can be checked out with the help of cards.
What Does All a Tarot Consist of?
Astrological symbols and tarot are related. Typically, a deck of tarot has 78 cards. Out of these 78 cards, 22 cards outline the major occasions of your life. These 22 cards are called Major Arcana. The staying cards in the deck are divided into 4 basic classifications that are identified by the four standard aspects: Earth, Fire, Water and Air. The other substantial cards represent key people in our lives and these are called Pages, Kings, Queens, and Knights.
A few of the Myths Regarding the Origin of Tarot:
There are numerous stories relating to the origin of Tarot. Some people are of the belief that they are a form of witchcraft and thus protest the usage of these cards. However, in reality, Tarot cards came forward after the beginning of standard playing cards in Europe. There was a time when these tarots are used for playing games however later some Greek Mythological images were established on these cards and it was the time when they were connected to Astrology. That these cards are of little use is another typical misconception. This is not so. With the help of these cards, all the major events of your life right from your birth till your death can be read.
The best ways to Get More Precise Readings?
The World of Tarot deals with the past, present, and future. The zodiac signs are equally affected by the time aspect. The kind of Zodiac sign that we have, identify our traits and personality. The alignment of cosmos identifies our past, present, and future. Tarot card reading is necessary and the images on the tarots are utilized for Prophecy. Nevertheless, if you turn to the Astrology to gain more point of view, you would be benefitted. In short, for more precise readings, skilled tarot card readers use Astrology within their readings. thoughts can land you in deep trouble and Astrology is a sure shot reprieve.
What Is Angel Card Reading?
It is thought that a set of cards have actually been developed that can guide us in our lives when read out by an experienced professional. Neither are these any ordinary playing cards nor are they tarot cards. What we will be looking at today is a practice called angel card reading.
All of us have troubles in life particularly when we are about to make essential decisions that could shape our future for the better or even worse. In such scenarios, we wish to make sure that we are ready and assisted by someone who has more understanding than we do and is keeping an eye out for us. Things like these generally take our minds to God, our creator, and caretaker. However, if you think of it, God has numerous things to do that you and I can not even start to fathom. In order to reduce his responsibilities and get our work done, angels were developed. There are lots of angels with areas of expertise, and an excellent specialist would conjure up the ideal angel to fix your issue.
Before we understand how angel card reading is practiced, it is important to understand about the cards and different types of packs that are readily available. You can buy these online really easily if you wish to find out how to practice this art, or just keep it as a collectible.
Angel cards come in packs of different designs, however, they all basically mean the same thing. When you are surfing through your alternatives you may feel like there is a specific set that is calling out to you, they fit best with your aura. If you do not feel any such experience, you can just choose that card who's style you like best as it suits your personality. Similarly, practitioners have packs of cards that are extremely near their heart and can be easily linked to.
When you opt for various assistance sessions, you may have noticed that you are expected to prepare a set of questions so the procedure streams more smoothly. Nevertheless, in angel card reading you only have to pick a card from the deck and the reader will inform you everything it has to say.
After you pick a card and hand it over to the reader, they not only read and translate the card for you but they likewise use the strong angelic bond they have formed. A lot of professionals claim that they rely on this instinct just as much, or often more than their readings. They can pick up the angels helping them out and guiding them to assist you.
Archangel Gabriel appears on the cards as a moon. This angel is very simple to connect with for the readers and a strong bond can be formed rapidly. When you pick out this card, it indicates that Gabriel is attempting to direct you in matters of your family and relationships. The reader can likewise communicate by means of their chakras, and the sacral chakra is most useful for contacting Gabriel.
Archangel Michael appears on the deck as a sword. His card represents the help he is offering to lower all the problems in your life. He functions as a guide and protector of his individuals. Michael can be sensed by the angel card reader through his/her base chakra.
Archangel Raphael is the angel of nature and recovery. His card appears in green with popular symbols from nature. He is invoked for healing individuals and eliminating any physical or psychological pain they might be feeling.
Archangel Haniel oversees all the relationships and relationships you have with people. This angel illustrates any difficulty you might deal with in this area in your life and the reader, by getting in touch with Daniel through the throat chakra can direct you to follow a much better course.
There countless angels that appear on the cards and supervise our lives. Angel card reading, though might look like other such reading practices is different due to the fact that it is not just about the interpretation of the card but about genuine interaction through a power of strong intuition. By invoking our angels and requesting for their help, we make our lives a lot easier due to the fact that they comprehend exactly what is right for us much better than anyone else.

My Hong Kong bead mail (mentioned yesterday) also included a few lockets I fancied. For some reason I ended up not buying one with a cat on!
Unlike yesterday's components I have an idea for at least one of these. One I'm thinking of giving away to someone for christmas so that just leaves one piece to figure out what to do with. It will, however, probably take a little time to finish the first locket as I don't have the supplies needed.
I've seen lockets with embroidered inserts (e.g. Mr. Puffy's Knitting Blog, Wild Olive, Crafty & Devious, The Secret Rose, Stella) so maybe I'll try that, seeing how it combines two of my interests, embroidery and jewellery. Maybe bead embroidery or that'll be too much? For me, lockets can have one of three functions: "practical" (like perfume lockets, some also do lip gloss or lipstick lockets), personal (photo, memento) or pure aesthetics, which preferable has an element of surprise or at least secrecy. These I'm using in the third way and therefore I want to balance the outside and the inside. These lockets aren't blank or discreetly engraved in which case you can combine it with a big, colourful inside. Here, it's a question about whether the outside or the inside is the main feature and about how to balance the two.
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but without a memento or solid perfume inside, they're already like a finished pendant to which I'm to add stuff -- and I want that stuff to work with the image on the front. Otherwise I might just as well keep them like this, without anything inside and without a reason to ever open the locket.
PS! I just updated the blog with a Locket label. So far I've only ever made two locket necklaces, the perfume locket Viola Odorata and the heart locket In Memoriam with cat pics and hand-painted cat beads, but now they're all collected under one label and hopefully I'll fill it with more stuff in the (near) future.
PPS! I did find some autumn leaves (see previous post), which are drying at the moment and hopefully will hold their colour. And it gave an idea about making pendants annually using the autumn leaves or other objects found during the season and a small piece or scroll of paper with the year on it put inside too. Or perhaps even make a pendant for every season, year after year (ok, wow, that's be an interesting and ambitious project -- which sadly sounds like something you might forget or get bored of after a while).

Zimbabwean nationals in South Africa have called on police to protect them and other foreigners after attacks on Zimbabweans in Soshanguve, some 45 kilometers north of Pretoria, where they were accused of killing a local resident over an alleged theft.
Violence this past weekend against Zimbabweans in Soshanguve was prompted by the killing of Isaac Ngobeni, a South African alleged to have stolen from tuckshops, small food shops, operated by Zimbabwean and Mozambican immigrants.
Following his death a mob of some 2,000 local residents formed and attacked foreign nationals living in Soshanguve Extension 6, leaving dozens of Zimbabweans and Mozambicans injured, some seriously. Since then, locals have held a series of meetings in which they demanded all foreigners be forced to leave the area.
Scores Zimbabweans have fled the area and are hiding in neighboring townships, many of them the owners of shops looted by local residents.
The Zimbabwean emigré community has called on the South African police to protect innocent people who are now being forced to move out of the area.
Correspondent Benedict Nhlapho of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe reported.
A spokesman for the South African Department of Home Affairs disputed the claim that attacks motivated by xenophobia are on the rise. Mantshele Tau said his department is still investigating the events in Soshanguve, but insisted there is not a crisis.
But Zimbabwe Exiles Forum said South African police have ignored reports of violence against foreigners, saying seven people arrested in connection with the Soshanguve violence were released for lack of evidence, though the victims identified them.
Home Affairs Department Spokesman Tau told reporter Patience Rusere that South African police are doing their best to maintain law and order.
The Wikipedia says Soshanguve "was established in 1974 on land scheduled to be incorporated into a bantustan bordering on Mabopane in Bophuthatswana, to Sotho, Shangaan, Nguni and Venda people (thus the name)...resettled from Atteridgeville and Mamelodi." Soshanguve later became part of Tshwane (formerly metropolitan Pretoria). Riots occurred there in 2006 over poor service delivery.

I bet it would be amazing cooled ( i couldn't wait that long!) and topped with the avocado choc frosting....mmmmm
The original recipe is only 4 ingredients, but you can add in things like chocolate chips, walnuts, candied ginger, vanilla extract, and anything else to shake things up. NOTE: since posting this last year i've played around with it and made it more cake like. hope you like the new revised recipe :)
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 3 minutes
Ingredients(Makes 1 cake):
1 ripe banana
1 tsp almond butter(or any nut butter) - try my sunbutter recipe on this blog!!!
1 egg
1 heaping Tablespoon cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon coconut flour
1 Tablespoon almond meal (almond flour) - you can make your own in a coffee grinder

1 Tablespoon almond meal (almond flour) - you can make your own in a coffee grinder
1/2 tsp baking powder
** sometimes i add a big heaping spoonful of full fat sour cream or yogurt to make it more moist ***
(I also add a tsp of whatever extract flavouring I feel like - almond, orange, vanilla, peppermint)
· Chocolate chips, walnuts, dried fruit, coconut or other mix-ins(optional)
1. With a fork, mash the banana into a smooth puree.
2. Mix the almond butter, egg, cocoa powder, coconut flour, baking powder and flavouring into the banana puree until it forms an even batter.
3. Fold in any mix-ins into the batter that you'd like. Otherwise, our the batter into a mug or other microwave safe container. lately i've been greasing a soup bowl with coconut oil and pouring the batter into the bowl. comes out a lot easier.
4. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and enjoy hot, cold, or at room temperature.

Coats of the 1750 s were boxier in shape than the coats worn later in the 18th century. This coat has very full skirts, deep cuffs, a straighter front line, and roomier sleeves than coats of the 1770 s and 1780 s. The body of this coat fits close to the person and the armholes are set high and back to reinforce a correct, erect 18th century posture.
Made up as a civilian coat, this design will be appropriate for almost any occasion, depending on your choice of fabric and trimmings. As a military coat, please consult your own documentation for suggestions on fabric weights, trims and ornamentation. As there were over 120 different military units in the 1750 s-1760 s, please make whatever changes may be necessary to conform this pattern to your own personal requirements.
Enclosed you will find a plain cuff, a functional mariner s cuff, and a curved cuff. All the pieces were designed to fit together, so you may mix and match.
This coat is designed to fit comfortably over shirt, breeches and waistcoat. If you plan to wear your coat over a sleeved waistcoat, please fit it accordingly. Depending on the weight of the fabric you have used for your waistcoat, it may be necessary to expand the sleeves on the coat.
This original coat pattern is fashioned after an extant example of an officer s regimental worn by Capt. Thomas Plumbe, Royal Lancashire Militia c. 1760.
Certain elements have been taken from an extant 1750 s coat of cut and uncut velvet in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Close attention has also been paid to the works of Swiss artist, David Morier, who painted a grenadier of each regiment according to the 1751 Warrant for the Duke of Cumberland, and to the simple drawings, later engraved, by Lt. William Baillie of the 13th Foot, 1753. I note with interest that one of his drawings of Cpl. Jones clearly shows fall front breeches.

Baltimore Felon Exiled To 10 Years In Prison For Possessing A Gun In Connection With Drug Trafficking
Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar sentenced James Arwine, age 36, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for conspiracy to use a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Acting Special Agent in Charge William P. McMullan of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Commissioner Anthony W. Batts of the Baltimore Police Department; and Baltimore City State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein.
According to Arwine's plea agreement, on September 21, 2012, a detective with the Baltimore Police Department was in a covert location and saw James Arwine and Nathanial Hickman enter an alley. The detective observed what appeared to be a hand to hand transaction drug transaction by other individuals while Arwine and Hickman seemed to be acting as lookouts for law enforcement. The detective changed locations in an attempt to determine the drug stash location.
The detective saw Arwine and Hickman remove items from a vehicle and walk back into the alley to a dumpster. Hickman removed a black handgun from his waistband and placed it under the dumpster. Arwine then handed Hickman a second black handgun from his pocket which Hickman also placed under the dumpster. Arwine then gave Hickman a package, which he stashed with the guns.
Detectives moved in and arrested Arwine and Hickman. Two handguns, a loaded .357 handgun and a loaded .38 caliber handgun were recovered from under the dumpster, along with a package containing a bag of empty yellow top vials but no narcotics.
Arwine admitted that he possessed the gun and packaging material in relation to a conspiracy to distribute narcotics and that he was acting as a look-out for other individuals who were distributing narcotics.
Nathaniel Hickman, age 26, of Baltimore, pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy and Judge Bredar has scheduled his sentencing on August 19, 2014.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the ATF, Baltimore Police Department, and Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Special Assistant United States Attorney H. Brandis Marsh, Jr., a cross-designated Baltimore City Assistant State's Attorney assigned to Exile cases, who prosecuted the case.

Achoo !
Life has been incredibly busy, though all for good reasons which I'll discuss here soon.
I think we need a panel not on work-life balance, but on blog-life balance. After housework, the blog is the first thing to go.
Anyway, it seems my first blog-a-versary is on Sunday, which is neat. I've enjoyed meeting so many of you online and interacting with you, reading your blogs, and learning from you. It's fun when people in meatspace mention some of your blogs at work, and I have to silently giggle under my thin veil of pseudo-anonymity.
Thanks for reading!

:) I second the need for a panel on blog-life balance. I think I spend way too much time reading other people's stuff, so I am nearing having a problem really...ReplyDelete
Happy bloggy birthday in advance! It's always a treat to read your posts.
I just came across your blog and I love it! I'm thinking of going into Software Engineering and that's what I've applied for but I'm all over the place! A part of me has a strong passion for fashion (oh wow...how cliche) and I want to pursue that. Another part of me wants to write, books, scripts etc. Another part of me wants to do computer science because the thought of having the knowledge to be able to programme anything excites me! AH I don't know! Do you mind giving me some info into the career aspects of computer science and what computer scientists actually do, and their job prospects etc? I'm all confuddled.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Shabna. Sounds like you have a lot of options! I'll see if I can put together a career post some time soon.ReplyDelete
Shabna, in the meantime, check out Dot Diva - they have some great info about what computer scientists do and have even managed to bring CS and fashion together on some occasions! ;)ReplyDelete
@GMP -Thanks!ReplyDelete
@Gail - I tried to comment on your blog but it doesn't like all my ad-blocking foo. So I'll say it here:
A little late, but congrats on making it through the year. Looking forward to more.ReplyDelete
this is very nice and impressive blog.ReplyDelete

Look BELOW the invitation for the music
An invitation: At 6 p.m. on April 11th (the 40th anniversary of the day Art and I began our work on Straight Life) I'll be at the Berklee School in Boston to have a public conversation with da DAH! MICHAEL CONNELLY author of the Harry Bosch series (I've voraciously read every one of them and hunger for more). Michael's a jazz fan with the exceptionally good taste to love Art Pepper, Frank Morgan and other great musicians. And he writes soulfully about them. I'll read a little from my memoir-in-progress and Michael will read from whatever he wants, and we'll talk about writing and jazz. There will be cocktails and a band performance. Dancing optional. (I think I'm kidding. Maybe not) Call 617-747-2514. (I think it's free.)
You are invited. (the music player with your taste of April is below the lovely invitation)

This week in Google news: Big G released a stable version of Chrome Frame for those of you that can't bear to let go of IE6, and a developer preview of the Chrome Web Store is now available to tinker with. Meanwhile, the Apps Marketplace is as popular as ever, and a new site threatens to steal our weekly Google wrap-up steez.
Introducing Chrome Frame
Chrome Frame came out of the woodwork about a year ago, graduated to beta status in June 2010, and is now available for download. The tool essentially enables antiquated browsers to fake cool by giving them access to modern web technologies like HTML5.
"A stable release is just the beginning for Google Chrome Frame," wrote Tomas Gunnarsson, Software Engineer and Robert Shield, Software Engineer, in the official Google announcement. "We've set aggressive goals for future releases: we're working on making start-up speed even faster and removing the current requirement for administrator rights to install the plug-in. Expect more improvements and features in the near future, as we plan to release on the same schedule as Google Chrome."
This means Google aims to release a Chrome Frame update every six weeks, which, seems like kind of a lot for a solution that would be rendered useless if people would just switch browsers, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
Google Chrome Store
Speaking of Chrome, Google is also putting the finishing touches on the developer preview of their Chrome Web Store. Today, parties interested in charging for apps can sign up for a Google Checkout merchant account via the developer dashboard.
Developers can check out a preview of their app's landing page, as well as customize it by uploading headers and icons:
Note that apps will only be visible to their creators during the developer preview until the store launches later this year.
Checking in with Google Apps Marketplace
Speaking of shopping, the Google Apps Marketplace has officially been around for six months and is growing steadily. Today there are over 200 apps and 400 million users. Here's a quick look at the top rated:
- Smartsheet Project Management: "Smartsheet's online project management tool takes an easy to use spreadsheet to the next level with features such as a Gantt chart, dependencies, sub-tasks, and attachments and discussions on any row."
- RunMyProcess - Workflows and Integration: "Add state of the art workflow, business process and integration capabilities to Google Apps. Design, connect, deploy and measure day-to-day or complex workflows within days."
- Socialwok: Free Business Social Productivity & Customer Management: "Your own private collaboration network on Google Apps to share ideas, files, web links, Google Docs, Google Calendar with your workforce and external parties. "
- Syncplicity Business Edition: "Syncplicity's unique Google Apps synchronization means users now have the choice to create and edit their files in desktop apps and then open that same file in Google Docs seamlessly."
- Mavenlink Web Collaboration: "Manage all project communications, share files, track time, invoice, and manage payments."
Google New
It would be fun to think we inspired Big G with our weekly Google wrap-up, but, well, we probably didn't. In any case, the Internet giant kicked out a new site called Google New to feature -- surprise, surprise! -- everything new from Google. The lifestream-type layout pulls from various official Google blogs to present viewers with a smörgåsbord of the company's latest offerings:

Good news for the channel as research from Ricoh Europe suggests that companies want to lean more on technology to improve their fortunes.
While the world is feeling rather uncertain at the moment, many feel that the way the work will change in the near future as a result of digital disruption, economic uncertainty and political turbulence.
More than 95 percent of people thought their business would benefit from the changes.
Most people that were asked for their opinions by Ricoh saw technology as the best way of making sure they could improve the fortunes of their business. On the wish list were using IT to improve customer communications, increased productivity and simpler business processes.
The weak point was that most felt that there will be even more of a scramble for skilled staff.
Ricoh Europe CEO David Mills said: "How people relate to, engage and execute their work is fundamentally changing. In the years ahead we'll see businesses fall into two distinct camps. Firstly, those with strong fundamental processes which empower employees by enabling them to do their best work, adapt and thrive. Secondly, those businesses which shy away from change and unfortunately set their employees up for failure."
"As the world feels the impact of unprecedented change, business leaders must ask themselves where they see the most beneficial return on bringing more innovative technology into the company. To enable their business to stay focused on its long-term goals, and remain competitive, often the best place to start is with their employees," he added.
Resellers are being bombarded with advice from vendors to get more involved in the trend.

text: I have a 2011 Lefty PBR and just did a reset and a boot lift (with wipe down and new grease application). Went for a 5 hour fairly heavy hit ride, got home, measured length and noticed it had dropped 2.5 cm (way enough for another reset). I have reset (and done a boot lift with regrease) many times in the past. I usually wait unit it drops 1.25 cm. One thing I did different this time, though, was use a white lithium (usually use Finish Line white teflon. Could using a really slippery, smooth grease allow the bearings to migrate more quickly? What is the best to use for this level of service? Obv. a full rebuild further in to the fork internals may call for something else.

Week's Top Stories: April 5 – 11, 2014
Chart: Chile Holds Spot on Most Expensive Earthquakes for Insurers: In light of the April 1, 2014 magnitude 8.2 earthquake in Chile we highlight a spring 2013 GC Capital Ideas table ranking the most expensive earthquakes for insurers. A seismic event in 2010 put the South American nation on that list.
April Renewals Bring Price Reductions & Focus on Tailored Coverage: Guy Carpenter reports that the April 1, 2014 renewal was marked by price reductions and more tailored reinsurance coverage. Strong balance sheets, an abundance of capacity and a consolidation of buying led to lower reinsurance pricing across most territories and business segments at the renewal.
Chart: Global Property Catastrophe ROL Index: The Guy Carpenter Global Property Catastrophe Rate on Line index is presented for 1990 through 2014. The index fell by 11 percent at January 1, 2014.
ERM Benchmark Review, 2013 Update: In April and October 2009, Guy Carpenter published two briefings titled "Risk Profile, Appetite and Tolerance: Fundamental Concepts in Risk Management and Reinsurance Effectiveness." This briefing is an update of those studies that summarizes the information publicly disclosed on enterprise risk management (ERM) measures.
Chart: Rate Movements by Business Segment: Reports rate movements at January 1, 2014.
And, You May Have Missed…
Catastrophe Bond Outlook for 2014: The growing influence of alternative markets capacity is pressuring traditional reinsurers' business model and challenging them to compete against a model with lower-cost of capital that continues to enter the reinsurance market. Most reinsurance companies have responded to the challenge by leveraging their incumbent status on reinsurance programs, offering similar or better terms and similar or reduced pricing.

A luxury cruise line acknowledged that its ship released treated wastewater into Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary off the Central California coast, violating its own environmental policies and a promise to the city of Monterey.
In response, the city earlier this month said it would refuse to provide services, such as use of its pier to unload tenders, to the ship involved, Crystal Harmony. On Tuesday, Carl Anderson, Monterey's director of public facilities, plans to recommend that the City Council declare the ship's operator, Los Angeles-based Crystal Cruises, "no longer welcome in Monterey Bay."
In a March 6 letter to the council, seven environmental groups urged the city to go further and ban all cruise ship visits until "it is clear ... that there is an effective system in place to protect [the sanctuary] from cruise ship pollution."
Monterey says Crystal violated an agreement with the city that bans wastewater discharges into the sanctuary, which stretches along nearly 300 miles of coastline from Marin County to San Luis Obispo County. The sanctuary contains the nation's largest kelp forest and more than 30 species of marine animals, including otters and sea lions, plus hundreds of seabird and fish species, officials said.

Just a question about a SSD caddy that cctech make- I am needing more cfast cards but this seems a economic storage option.
I haven't bother shooing to dual drive due to me not owning enough cfast cards. Sorry if this sounds dumb- I just want to check- If I purchased the cctech and I shoot 4.6k to dual drives, will I get twice the capacity? So if I use 2 x 1tb drives- the real storage is 2tb?
cheers paul

Veterans Employment Toolkit
The Department of Veterans Affairs has developed a new online Veterans Employment Toolkit, aimed at helping employers, managers and supervisors, and human resource professionals support employees who are Veterans or members of the Reserve or National Guard. Given the many efforts in this country to increase the hiring of Veterans, the Veterans Employment Toolkit was designed to help employers, managers and supervisors, and human resource professionals support Veterans in the workplace to increase Veterans' retention of employment and facilitate their success in the workplace. The online toolkit provides information about the value Veterans bring to the workplace, material describing the military experience and culture, common challenges Veterans may experience in readjusting to civilian life and how to support individuals in that transition, general communication tips for managers and supervisors, and how to support members in the Reserve and National Guard. The Veterans Employment Toolkit also includes resources for Veterans looking to obtain employment and how they can make important career decisions and excel in the workplace. If you have any questions or feedback about the toolkit, please contact Sara Landes.
We have another toolkit that you may want to check out and offer as a resource on your page – the Campus Toolkit. It's aimed at college and university staff and student Veterans.

CES PreparationLast lap to the CES... After hours spent on them, we are putting the final touch to our Bixis to make them ready for the big show!
Quentin is spending time to polish the Bixis' outer look to make them feel as if you could buy one tomorrow…
Ashutosh and I have been working till the very end of the year.. and managed not only to make the features demo-worthy but also to add a cool new feature for gaming with Bixi: Temple Run!! This game play idea and implementation came at the very last moment when we thought almost all was ready for CES.. then we managed to pull that one in as well!
On this video we can see Ashutosh finishing off his remaining quota of 2015 craziness: lining up the 6 Bixis for CES and swiping over all of them at the same time… they are ready. 🙂

This is my first down bag. Lightweight bag. I was…
Design: Mummy
Fill: 650 fill down
Temperature Rating: 0 F
Weight: 3 lb 6 oz
Price Paid: $199 ebay
This is my first down bag. Lightweight bag. I was very warm in just my scivies on Gannet Peak. It only got down to about 30F at night. It came with a compression sack. The price is right for a down bag.
This is my first down sleeping bag, so I can't compare…
Design: mummy
Fill: 650+ down
Temperature Rating: 0F
Weight: 1.4kg
Price Paid: $140
This is my first down sleeping bag, so I can't compare with others. I used the bag this winter for several outings. Overall, I am very satisfied with the bag for the price I paid. It is very warm, I was very warm in long underwear in -15C (5F) without tent. I believe it should be good down to -20C(-5F). It is roomy, packs well and weights 1.7 kg with provided compression sack.
I think the hood could have a better design, drawstring tend to press on the face when tightened.
I wished about one extra feature: build in pillow pocket.
There was no storage sack provided.

Route: 40I, Local
Weather: Few clouds, 81 degrees, wind 100 degrees at 6 knots
My sister and her boyfriend drove down from Michigan yesterday to visit for the weekend. She's flown with me a couple times before - in the 150 and 172 - but never in a Cub. I believe she actually requested a Cub ride. Smart little sister, she is.
We drove down to the airport after a nice afternoon. It was perhaps the most beautiful day since spring - warm but not hot, almost totally clear skies, light winds. No better evening for a flight in a J-3 with the door wide open!
Jamie propped us - which took a few extra tries, as the big Cub is prone to do when the engine's hot - and I taxied down to the end of Runway 8. Joe was in the other Cub with a student; it appeared to be a new student, as he was busy explaining something. I taxied around them and we were soon climbing briskly away from the grass.
Lauren's always up for some fun so I wasn't in super-gentle-airline-pilot-like mode. I did a steep turn and nailed it; we bumped across the wake with a solid thump as I rolled out on my original heading. Then I sliced through an unfurling roll of toilet paper (usual disclaimer here) dropped from 5,000 feet a few times as we made our way back towards the ground.
Scott (who I took up in the Cub three years ago) elected to get in nine holes of golf while we flew. Incidentally, the golf course is literally across the street from the airport. We passed overhead and actually spotted him on the green.
I made a low pass over the runway at the gliderport. The pattern was empty since they'd long stopped flying but a couple old-timers were sitting under the pavilion, waving as we flew past. I returned the hello, waving our wings at them and then climbed away to enter the pattern at Stewart. Skydivers had been jumping but they were back on the ground so I crossed midfield and entered a left downwind for Runway 8.
Once clear of the road and power lines, I descended low and skimmed over the corn right before the start of the runway. I held the plane there, making a low approach, and then climbed up and circled back around to land. Coming in high to land intentionally long, I held the plane off, off, off... and touched down very softly (a solid 9.5/10!) well down the runway. After a short taxi, I turned the plane around, shut down the engine, pushed her into the tiedown, and buttoned everything up.
As with most Cub flights, there was no plan tonight. Just take off, have fun, and enjoy the view of the everything below through the open door. Lauren had a blast (and took all the great photos in this post) and I think she now understands why I love these little yellow airplanes so much.

New Twitter Header Banner Size & Free PSD Mockup Template 2014
There is a race going on between all the social networking sites who are putting the best foot forward to grab the audiences and to accommodate them as much as they can, eventually the best social networking site comes under the spotlight, who does not know Twitter?
Yesterday Twitter has launched its huge top banner just like Google & Facebook had already carried out back in days. People are confused about how the Twitter cover may look equally good on their iPhones and widescreens. Today, I am providing you with new Twitter header banner size & free PSD mockup template of 2014. You need to follow the step by step guidelines so to overcome the obscurities you may probably find while putting up the Twitter cover.
New Twitter Header Banner Size:
Twitter's Header Banner size is 1500px in width x 500px in height.
The Header Banner size that works perfectly for me is 1500 px x 420 px
If you have downloaded the mockup and working on it, you need to hide the text folder and also hide the (invisible on mobiles) Layer. Design in between the white space then adjust according to grey area that will also be cropped in mobile devices.
Here is the example of my twitter page
If you want to download and check out my twitter banner then here you go > New Twitter Banner
You can also visit my twitter page that how beautiful it looks > Designbolts Twitter Page
Here is how it looks on my mobile
Now some points to remember:
- After designing your new twitter header banner you need to save it in PNG format so you will not lose the original quality. Sadly, it loses quality if you upload it in Jpeg format.
- While using the Header Banner PSD Template, design in between the white area.
- After uploading your image you can still edit your header banner just go to EDIT PROFILE , change your header photo upload the same banner image and then change the position left or right, do check it on your iPhone or any other mobile device you have.
- If you are receiving "Internal Server Error" when uploading a Twitter Header Timeline, then go to your twitter settings then profile, change your header and you will not receive the message again.
- Recommended dimensions of New Twitter Timeline is 1500×500 px and Maximum file size of 5MB. It should not exceed 5 MB otherwise you will get internal server error again and again. If your PNG image is larger than 5 MB go to tinypng.com and reduce the size without losing the quality of your image.

Hi Zee,
You rock! My favorite email of the day when I first open Mac Mail in the morning is my DesignBolts email! Keep up the good work and let us know more about how we can support you! It is only fair…you are providing an amazing service and should get just compensation for it through various means.
Have a lovely day!
- Theodore Wallerstedt
Awesome Article! I appreciate the detail. I have a suggestion for you:
You should make the arrow of the speech bubble point at the person in the center of the banner, instead of the profile picture, on desktop. That way, on mobile, when the profile picture switches to the center (something I didn't know) the speech bubble will STILL be pointing to a person.
I.E. make the speech bubble will go from pointing at the man in the center to pointing at the profile picture- which is in the center on mobile – same place as the man on desktop.
Anyway. Thanks again!
- Jenni Merrifield
Thanks, this is exactly what I needed!
- MaXfReZa
Thank you!
- Brito
Thank you very much.

Thhnaks for the PSD and the tips!

This is a letter to the Editor I had published this fall after my experiences looking for new child care.
Dear Editor,
I recently had the privilege of being a medal-bearer in Rick Hansen's Man in Motion Tour of Canada. I was nominated both for my work with teenagers with behavioural, social and emotional disabilities in a local Alternative high school and as a mom with a two-year-old who was born with three copies of her 21st chromosome (Down syndrome).
It was important to me to be a part of this cause which promotes full inclusion in the community for people with disabilities, because historically, people with Down syndrome have been rejected and marginalized from society and were for many years hidden away.
It is incomprehensible to me that my daughter would not be considered a full member of society simply because she has extra genetic material which impacts her development.
I will fight tirelessly to ensure that she has the same entitlement as a community member that her typical peers receive. Although the perceptions around people with disabilities like Down syndrome have started to change, there is still much work to be done in many communities.
This past summer, I was looking for childcare for my daughter and stopped by a popular local day care. When I enquired about their policy for including children with special needs I was told unequivocally by the administrator that their day care was not licensed for special needs and was specifically not licensed for Down syndrome.
When I reflect on this incident what I was most disturbed about was this administrators' ignorance, for no such licensing actually exists; day cares are licensed to care for all children, and it is up to them to foster an environment of inclusion and celebration of differences.
I was also disturbed by how quickly the administrator rejected my daughter outright on the basis of her disability, without stopping to determine if her special needs could be supported in a typical day care setting. We did go on to we find an exceptional dayhome provider through XXX XXXXX but this experience has opened my eyes to the resistance our family may face ensuring that our daughter has the same rights and respect as her non-disabled peers.
Although we have come a long way with including people with disabilities in the community, in schools and at work places, there is clearly still work to be done. The Man in Motion Tour reminds us that people with disabilities are valuable contributors to our towns, our communities, our schools, and our society.
Let's continue to advocate for them to be fully included as members of society. If we do, perhaps next time that administrator is asked about including children with special needs, her response instead will be "Why don't you tell me about your child and see if we can work together?"

Geographical Indications: A search for identity sketches a
practitioner's perspective of geographical indications, their
protection and the current international discussions on the subject.
The authors have made every serious effort to include not only general
information on the law relating to geographical indications but also
all the relevant issues in discussion currently at the international
level. The book contains a narrative of the history of the law on
geographical indications traced through international conventions
and case law, an analysis of the provisions of the Agreement on Trade
Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) relating to the
protection of geographical indications, a discussion on the recent
and on- going debate on the extension of Article 23 type protection
to all goods and an attempt to explore the scope of geographical
indications in the socio-economic development of developing and
least developed countries. It concludes with a discussion on the
unfi nished agenda in the area and suggests a viable alternative to
the international protection of geographical indications.
Latha R Nair is an intellectual property lawyer with the New Delhi based law firm K&S Partners since 1998. One of the special areas of focus in her practice is geographical indications and WTO related issues and she has been representing the interests of the Indian government in the protection of two well-known geographical indications.

Chenille Stem Whimsy
Okay, so I am obsessed with these little Halloween chenille stem creatures. They look so authentically vintage but I made them. A few months back I found the idea at Vintage Image Craft and I couldn't wait to make them. Then I saw them again a couple of weeks ago at MarthaStewart.com. I searched high and low for the orange and black bumpy chenille stems and could not find them locally so I ordered them online at Crafts, etc. I got them only a few days after I ordered them. Crafts, etc. is very prompt. Anyway, I printed out some vintage pumpkin and cat heads and went to town making them. I've made about 20 so far for Halloween gift buckets and for my own Halloween tree and decor. I can't wait to make Christmas, Valentine, and Easter versions. Elves, cupids, Bunnies. How cute will they be? They are super easy to make so you really should try them. Just click on the links above for instructions and printable clip art to use for the faces.
