Here's Day 34 of pickups in pictures:
One lovely friendly female from a super overcrowded gypsy courtyard
Females from a factory courtyard
A lovely stray teenage female
And the loveliest teenage male pup, the only male sterilized on Day 34 of free sterilizations; we took him for sterilization as one of his testicles was red and inflamed
On May 30th we returned the 21 sterilized animals plus the 1 unsterilized female back into their territories or to their carers:
A sterilized owned female doggie happily reunited with her carer; a beloved dog that won't contribute anymore to increasing the number of unwanted pups
Happy dogs and carers; reunions are always so joyous!
Awaited with food by her owner; the pups from her last litter were also happy to be reunited with their mommy
Sweet friendly dogs waiting to be returned
Some months ago we met this stray female with a whole litter of little pups... a couple of months later, and the now teenage pups were of reproductive age as well! We had both mom and her teenage daughters sterilized on Day 34
Sweet friendly dogs, returned sterilized
On their way to be back into their territories!
And a sterilized kitty, no more kitten for you!
Well, that was our Day 34 with 21 free sterilizations. Another busy day for us in a city where the stray animal overpopulation is so severe that these poor animals have little or no inner value in the eyes of our fellow citizens. We do everything humanely possible to prevent more litters from being born into a world that does not care about them and their suffering. For their own good, we strive to reduce their numbers through sterilizations and education.
The angels that made Day 34 of free sterilizations possible are HondenBrokkenMakers and lovely Gia, Wouter and Help4Strays, Stephen T, Cecilia B, Anna H, Susanne G, Nacima and her beloved Lady, Ana Z, Leonie P and Elly P.
Furthermore, may thanks to the angels that made possible the 5 emergency sterilizations provided at the vet clinic in town on May 28th and May 30th: Toni R, Mirjam BH, Antina S and Caroline T.
This concludes the end of a very productive May 2013 full of sterilizations: 102 sterilizations more precisely!

Nationwide InsuranceReviewing: Nationwide Car Insurance | Rating:
Nationwide Insurance is my current car insurance provider mainly because they were the cheapest. None of us like to think that we'll be in an accident, but I was in one and I'm very pleased with how things were handled afterwards.
Nationwide has local agents, which can be a rarity depending on what provider you go with, however it's not required to meet with them to set up a policy or even deal with claims. They work on whatever level you want them to.
The thing I really like about Nationwide is their Blue Ribbon program. Basically if you get in an accident and your car needs to be repaired, they have teamed with various body shops and automotice repair places and you never have to worry about filling out any forms. The shops themselves document the damage and repair it, and no bill ever comes. In fact, you pay the deductible directly to the shop. Also, a nice plus, my plan (and I think most plans) stipulated that if my car was in the shop I'd get a rental and indeed I did. This was also handled directly by the Blue Ribbon shop & Nationwide -- I never received any bill.
Nationwide also has online bill access and payment, unlike a lot of smaller car insurance firms.
Overall I really like Nationwide, not just for their low prices, but the ease with which my claim was handle. Even though my rates increased a little after the accident, they were still quite low and I have stayed with them.

My heart really lies with specimen fishing, however this type of fishing is impractical particularly when young anglers are present, fishing with me.
For the coming new season I aim to get away for a few weeks camping, fishing waters that have very few small fish and larger populations of fish that average 20lbs plus with the carp running to 50lb plus and barbel to 30lbs plus also possible.
Specimen carp fishing trips
If there are any like minded anglers who fancy joining me on these trips they would be more than welcome, the trips will be well equipped and with plenty of bait (particle ground baits etc).
Price: £700.00 per person, per week, with B and B accommodation
Optional trips:
The option is to travel and bivvy up rather than use hotels, this is an inclusive package, fully escorted, tackle available if you wish to travel light, bait and all food requirements covered (fresh food from local suppliers) you have nothing extra to pay for.
This offers the best chance of getting the bigger fish and gives the maximum time on the bank!
Price: £400.00 per person, per week for two or more
Price: £600.00 per week, for a lone angler
Special price for larger groups travelling together
If you would like to get to enjoy some secluded fishing in Portugal? Book a trip with us now using our onine Reservation page!
About the specimen carp fishing in Portugal
How it all started.
I arrived in Portugal from the North West of England some 27 years ago and settled down to live on the Algarve. Being a passionate angler for my whole life, I soon had my rods out and started what was to be a long hunt for some decent fishing. I started as you would - by asking in my local tackle shop where there was big Carp. The owner just smiled and said that was there secret. Remember in those days there was no internet with Google Earth or Carp fishing magazines in Portugal. All I could find was a set of military maps from Lisbon - like the UK Ordinance Survey maps. There were 512 in the set to cover Portugal! I ended up driving six hours to the north from the Algarve to fish the Cabril Dam near Pedrogao Grand. Here after catching over 2,000 carp over 10lbs in other dams I had my first 20lb Carp. This water is one of the waters where night fishing is allowed - since 2017.
I continued my hunt, traveling as far west as Sines then East to Elvas and down to the Algarve and Lagos. What I found was that nearly all the dams were stuffed with small carp most around 3lbs with just the odd double up to around 17lbs. Local anglers tell tales of 32kg Carp from most of these dams but never have pictures or first-hand knowledge of these mythical monsters.
The Portugal Record Carp
Some years ago Chris Daley came over from England and had a common carp of 52lbs from a small private water near Elvas. That was the best we had at the time. Last year Chris Whitman from Lagos had our new record 54lb 4oz Mirror. This fish has unfortunately died, but there are other fish in there near 50lbs and they are growing around 6lb per year so the record could go around 2019.
The Future of Carp Fishing in Portugal
There are a group of Carp anglers in Portugal who have after years of talking have managed to get some new laws passed that could help our fishing. For example we can now fish with three rods, and night fishing is allowed on some waters. Unfortunately for big Carp we just do not have the strain of fish that can grow big. Just a few waters where, for some reason, we get bigger fish - these are normally smaller waters with weed beds lots of food and crayfish. Long term and the Alqueva Dam could change things as I have seen some big fish there. What I think has happened is that fry from some good waters in Spain have ended up in the river Guadiana and into the Alqueva dam.

Guidance on U.S. Advisers with Foreign Advisory Operations: Unibanco Letters Update
Certain multi-national advisory firms rely on the SEC's positions in a line of no-action letters sometimes referred to as the "Unibanco letters" regarding the extra- territorial application of the Investment Advisers Act. In the Unibanco letters, the staff provided assurances that it would not recommend enforcement action to the SEC regarding the applicability of the substantive provisions of the Advisers Act with respect to a non-U.S. adviser's relationships with its non-U.S. clients. In addition, the staff agreed not to recommend enforcement under section 203(a) of the Advisers Act if a non-U.S. advisory affiliate of a registered adviser, often termed a ''participating affiliate,'' shares personnel with, and provides certain services to U.S. clients through, the registered adviser, without such participating affiliate registering under the Advisers Act. In this release, the SEC provides guidance (Guidance) on the documentation that the foreign advisers should submit.
In Unibanco, the SEC has provided assurances that it would not recommend enforcement action if the foreign adviser does not register with the SEC in situations in which:
• the unregistered participating affiliate and the registered adviser are separately organized;
• the registered adviser is staffed with personnel (located in the U.S. or abroad) who are capable of providing investment advice;
• all personnel of the participating affiliate involved in U.S. advisory activities are deemed ''associated persons'' of the registered adviser; and
• the SEC has adequate access to trading and other records of the participating affiliate and to its personnel to the extent necessary to enable it to identify conduct that may harm U.S. clients or markets.
Through the Information Update and guidance, the SEC standardized the documents that it expects to receive from advisers seeking to rely on the Unibanco letters, which are conditioned on compliance with certain representations such as appointing a U.S. agent for service of process on participating affiliates. In the Update, the SEC states that documentation of the following general representations and undertakings by participating affiliate(s) addresses the concerns raised in the Unibanco letters regarding the staff's ability to monitor the conduct of participating affiliates:
• The name of the participating affiliate and registered adviser, and a representation that the participating affiliate is an associated person of the registered adviser within the meaning of Section 202(a)(17) of the Advisers Act.
• Documentation of the appointment of an agent for service of process by a participating affiliate, including the name and contact information of such agent.
• A representation that the participating affiliate is under the jurisdiction of U.S. courts for actions arising, directly or indirectly, under U.S. securities laws or the securities laws of any state in connection with any of the following for U.S. clients: (1) investment advisory activities; (2) related securities activities arising out of or relating to any investment advisory services provided by the participating affiliate through its registered adviser; and (3) any related transactions. In addition, a representation that the participating affiliate has designated and appointed, without power of revocation, [insert agent] upon whom may be served all process, pleadings, or other papers in: (1) any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC; and (2) any civil suit or action brought against the registered adviser or the participating affiliate or in which the participating affiliate has been joined as defendant or respondent, in any appropriate court in any place subject to the jurisdiction of any state or of the U.S. or any of its territories or possessions or the District of Columbia in connection with the activities and transactions.
• A representation that any such civil suit or action or administrative proceeding may be commenced by the service of process upon, and service of an administrative subpoena shall be effective service upon, [insert agent], and such service shall be taken and held in all courts and administrative tribunals to be valid and binding as if personal service has been made.
• A representation that the participating affiliate will appoint a successor agent if the participating affiliate or any person discharges the [insert agent] or the [insert agent] is unwilling or unable to accept service on behalf of the participating affiliate at any time until six years have elapsed from the date of the last investment advisory activity. Additionally, the participating affiliate undertakes to advise the SEC promptly of any change to [insert agent]'s name or address during the applicable period.
• A representation that the participating affiliate will promptly, upon receipt of an administrative subpoena, demand, or request for voluntary cooperation made during a routine or special inspection or otherwise, provide to the SEC or the SEC's staff any and all of the books and records required to be maintained in accordance with staff guidance, and make available for testimony before, or other questioning by, the SEC or the SE's staff the employees of the participating affiliate (other than clerical or ministerial personnel) involved in the investment advisory activities or related securities transactions, at such place as the SEC may designate in the U.S. or, at the SEC's option, in the country where the records are kept or such personnel reside.
• A representation that the participating affiliate will produce, pursuant to an administrative subpoena or a request for voluntary cooperation, any documents in accordance with staff guidance.
The Update also covers how such information should be submitted to the SEC.

To implement a conforming XHR implementation, you need an implementation of the Window object, the origin infrastructure, and the conventions of JS in browsers, much as you do to implement, e.g., DOM2 Core. Until recently there were no specs whatsoever that defined those, and browsers relied on reverse-engineering to implement those parts. More recently, HTML5 and the WebIDL spec have taken up the task of defining these areas, but they aren't complete. However, you don't need a complete implementation of HTML5 to implement XHR. Indeed, you don't even need an interoperable one. You just need to have the principles that are described (in long and painful detail) in those specs implemented in a consistent way. > If yes, then XHR can't be published earlier.

In W3C land the official process is that references are supposed to be no more than one step removed. However, that's just a rule that humans have decided on, it isn't a fundamental restriction of nature. Rules should change when it is appropriate for them to do so. In practice it is unlikely to be an issue since the goal is to get interoperable implementations, not a slavish drive to REC, and thus waiting for years at CR stage is not a problem. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.

Motivational Monday #3
16 February 2015
Happy President's Day! I've recently been thinking of how negative I am on a day to day basis. I dread every morning because I know what the day will bring, I know i'm going to be busy, because chances are the things I want to do aren't going to happen. So needless to say I'm just s stressed out girl, dreading each day, counting the days down till Saturday. So that brings me to this quote...
If you saw the golden globes, then you probably heard Gina Rodriguez's speech and how she told the story about how her dad told her this every day. My sister has thus gotten into the habit of sending me these words in the morning. So I thought why not send this to you guys, why not have you guys start of this week with this.
I know it's hard to keep looking on the bright side. I know it's hard to keep having faith when nothing is going your way. But I want you to know that as hard as life is, and as tough as things get, you can do whatever it is you want. You have the power to make today a good day. So why not make it a good day. Why not try to accomplish things you want, because you can. So put yourself in that mentality. The mentality that gives you strength. The set of mind that gives you the faith to trust yourself and do the things you want, the things you need, and the things that will get you were you want to go.
Today is a good day, No matter what happens, or what the day brings, you should always start your day happy and ready and be optimistic. You can and you will. As cliche, as tired as this is, if you believe you can, you will be able to accomplish what you want. So stop dreading each day, stop thinking that you can't do what it is you dream of doing it. Silence all those annoying, way too loud, voices telling you can't do it, because guess what? Today is your day. Today is a good day. You can and you will

Try the TIMi Suite
Test the TIMi Suite for free. Click here
to get a full 3-months trial
of the TIMi Suite.
The TIMi Suite: Short Feature List
One license to the TIMi™ software suite grants you access to the following functionalities:
(non-limitative list)
- TIMi: ELD functionality: Extremely Large Datasets (unlimited rows & columns).
- TIMi: extremely fast and advanced analytical engine that creates accurate predictive models for Binary prediction (will the prospect buy or not?), continuous prediction (how much will the prospect buy?) and multi-class prediction (which product will the prospect buy?).
- TIMi: The analytical engine of TIMi (which creates the predictive models) is 100% automated. It is not necessary loose time to refine some incomprehensible meta-parameters of the software to obtain (very) good models because the default settings are already optimal in 99% of the cases. However, Business-Insight provides to the advanced users of TIMi with the opportunity of modifying all the parameters of all the algorithms used in the modeling process for a perfect control and a more complete understanding of the modeling mechanism.
- TIMi: Complete documentation of the algorithms. TIMi is not a "black box". We have a transparency policy towards our customers
- TIMi: Full documentation of the XML configurations files of TIMi . To help you to integrate TIMi into your production line in the easiest way.
- TIMi: All computations can be conducted in "interactive mode" (with the mouse) or in "batch mode" (without any user interaction) to enable the complete automation of the creation / use / update of the predictive models.
- TIMi: There are two computing modes to create a predictive model:
- "Insight": This mode generates the simplest models (usually less than 15 variables) and these models are usually already extremely accurate.
- "Performance": this mode generates more complex models (up to 500 variables for text-mining applications, for example) without sacrificing the accuracy of the model.
- TIMi: Estimation of the quality of the generated predictive models based on many Lift charts. Estimation of the lift stability: a confidence interval of the lift is directly generated.
- TIMi: high-performance module for creating predictive models to identify potential frauders (fraud detection) or potential churners.
- TIMi: Data Audit (simple OLAP reporting functionnality).
- TIMi: Possibility to define "On-the-fly" the target to predict, using a "business" expression (similar to an SQL query).
- TIMi: Possibility to define "On-the-fly" the segment of the population to be used for the modeling. This segment can be a "business" segment (selection of individuals using an expression similar to SQL) or an analytic segment computed by "Stardust".
- TIMi: Extraction of the profile of your target (customers/frauders) from the modeling results. This profile is easily understandable by a un-trained "business" user.
- TIMi: The target's profile is presented under the form of MSWord and MSExcel reports containing many simple, pertinent and intuitive charts that accurately characterize your target.
- TIMi : Simple data manipulation tool: format conversion, splitting & sampling of datasets (used mainly for benchmarking).
- Anatella : ETL: advanced data manipulation tool:
- Join tables,
- Columns & Rows filtering out of tables,
- Sorting,
- Format conversions (CSV, SQL ,..),
- Derivation of new columns for modeling:
- Automatic generation of hundreds of thousands of new, derivate columns ;
- a full scripting language based on JavaScript (standard ECMA-262) that allows you to express the most complex transformations, validations, aggregations, derivations. This language is similar (but more versatile) to a "SAS datastep"
- Anatella: the development environment to create the data manipulation scripts is extremely simple, intuitive & versatile. This environment is based on a hybrid technology:
- The simple transformations are described using "little boxes" (which is the most intuitive way to represent a data transformation and is a "de facto" standard for all modern ETL).
- Complex transformations are programmed using a scripting language based on JavaScript (standard ECMA-262) which is simple, complete and very versatile.
- Anatella : Direct access to an integrated "debugger" with an interface similar to the Visual Studio debugger (to "debug" the scripts written in JavaScript/ECMA-262): you can add "break points" to your code, add some "watch" on variables, see the "stack",...
- Anatella : The data transformation operators are "meta-data free" which means it is not necessary to define "metas-datas" to use 99% of the various transformations available in Anatella. This feature is very important because, in datamining, it is common to manipulate tables of tens of thousands of columns and it is impossible to specify "by hand" the "meta-datas" of all these columns (...and that exactly what's all the other ETL tools force you to do).
- Anatella: Data transformations to apply BEFORE predictive analytics:
- Social Network Analysis (SNA): This plugin extracts some valuable social-metrics out of graphs Typically: The best connected individuals, the individual who plays the most important role in any group (i.e. the social leaders), etc. These social-metrics can thereafter be used in combination with a predictive analytic tool like TIMi to create very accurate Cross-selling, Up-Selling or churn marketing campaigns.
- Textmining : The textmining-operators apply the classical "bag-of-word" technique to produce, starting from raw, unstructured text-data, many new columns and new variables directly usable inside TIMi or Stardust, for predictive analysis. You can now use the information contained inside any unstructured text-data (for example: text comments on your website, news articles, ...) to make any predictive model (for example for cross-selling, upselling and churn)!
- Above-The-Line media-mix optimization> : This plugin offers a set of operators that allow you to find which Above-The-Line investment gives you the highest ROI. You will obtain Graphs&Charts that show, for each past weeks/months, the contribution of your different investments on your sales.
- Data cleaning: text-spelling correction: Anatella includes a unique operator that checks & corrects the spelling mistakes in any text field (clustering of similar words together).
- Anatella: Data transformations to apply AFTER predictive analytics:
- Apply your TIMi predictive models: Anatella can natively apply TIMi predictive models. This allows you to easily score your database, along with other data transformations....
- Apply your Stardust segmentation models: Anatella can natively apply Stardust segmentation models. This allows you to easily segment your database, along with other data transformations....
- Operational Reseach (OR) optimization toolbox: Anatella integrates:
- an efficient multi-threadeded LP/IP solver that allows you to solve large scale optimization problem. The LP solver handles millions of constraints and several thousands of variables.
- an efficient solver for the GAP (General Assignment Problem). Typical GAP problems includes: Which product do I have to offer to which customer when I have the following business-constraints: The stock of each product is limited, Each selected customer receives a folder with N offers (no less and no more than N offers), The margin on each product is different,... The GAP solver included inside TIMi handles campaigns with several millions of customers and thousands of products.
- Anetalla: OLAP reporting through the usage of a "Microsoft Office Data Injection operator": This plugin allows you to automatically update any chart or graphics contained in any Microsoft Office document using some data extracted from any database(s) or flat file.
- Anatella: ability to read in natively compressed raw CDR files (i.e. Call Data Record files compressed with RAR, ZIP or GZ) (for telecom). For example: Anatella can extract more than 970 features out of raw CDR files create with an Ericsson 100313-1505. This is tremendous opportunities for a dataminer!
- TIMi, Stardust, Anatella: ability to read in "native" mode dataset files in text format (CSV) compressed RAR, ZIP, GZ.
- TIMi, Stardust, Anatella: direct native access to SAS datasets (.sas7bdat files)
- TIMi, Stardust, Anatella: Direct access to all relational databases via classical ODBC connections & OLEDB connections (Teradata, Oracle, SqlServer, MySQL, ...)
- TIMi: "Predictive Models" are saved as XML files. You can apply these predictive Models to any database an unlimited number of times.
- TIMi: Exportation of predictive models to:
- Base SAS script (in the form of a "data step")
- SQL (standard SQL script working in all DB's)
- Teradata-optimized SQL script
- HTML / JavaScript
Using your models has never been easier!
- TIMi: "Model Merger" module: automatically chooses the right models to apply to your database. The selection of the models is based on the different segments that you have defined. These segments can be "business" segments (selection of individuals similar to SQL) or segments calculated by "Stardust". Ability to apply simultaneously 1 thousand different models on the same dataset for Cross-selling purposes.
- TIMi: Automatic analysis of the degree of expiration of the predictive model (Is the predictive model not too old?), Possibility to replace the old model by a new model re-computed in real time.
- TIMi: Analysis of over- or under-commercial exploitation of a geographical area/channels/categories/ etc. or groups of clients to enable the optimization of investment in human and advertising for each segment (geographic analysis is possible if location data as the "zip/postal code" is available for your customers).
- TIMi: Real time module that simulates the "ROI" (return on investment) of a marketing campaign based on a predictive model built using TIMi . This module allows you to (amongst other things) optimize the size of your marketing campaign.
- Stardust: Exploration and Visualization in real-time 3D in a multivariate way of your entire database (possibility to visualize in real-time and in a "fluid" way a database of several million of individuals).
- Stardust: Detection of (multivariate) "Outliers" and non-valid data.
- Stardust: Creation of segments based on your entire database using segmentation algorithms familiar to all data miners, such as:
- PCA algorithm,
- quantile-recoding algorithm,
- "Minimum spanning tree" algorithm,
- many variations of the ward's algorithm,
- many variations of the "K-Means Algorithm", etc.
- Stardust & TIMi: 3D visualization of the "target" population of the predictive model and multivariate characterization of this target. Analysis of the different segments that compose the target.
- Stardust: Automatic creation of an analytical report in HTML format that describes from a "business perspective" each segment. This report contains many pertinent and intuitive chart for the "business" user.
The installation of the TIMi suite on a machine is made using a conventional and user friendly setup program. You must have administrator rights to install TIMi. The installation usually takes less than 5 minutes.

Bird Break

- Createology said...
Very nice bird break. I love to watch the birds we have here and listen to their songs and chatter. My Grandma actually raised Mynah birds and of course my mother had one in a cage. I hated having to feed, water and clean the cage because the bird always bit me...my fear showed. Safe Travels Dear...

Hi Tammy,
Your birds are lovely and isn't it handy having a zoom lens.
Hope you are enjoying the week
- July 9, 2015 at 6:49 AM
- Teresa Kasner said...
I hope you keep water out for those thirsty little birds. We made it to Corning, California and are settled in a hotel for the night. 4 hours to Lake Tahoe tomorrow! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Thanks for sharing your break, Tammy! I loved my armchair view of your sweet photos. This post reminds me of the verse, "Be still and know that I am God." Ps. 46:10. My thinking can be very agitated and unruly! I need to stop, and refocus! Wishing you orderly packing and a safe joyful journey as you head to and from the US. :)

How completely true, and so nice to see your photos. Here in the west, or at least where I live, it's hard to slow down and just enjoy quiet, but how important to do so. I hope you have a wonderful trip home this summer.

- September Violets said...
Today's quote was perfect, and I did just that on our recent camping trip :) Love your little bird shots, even the ordinary sparrows have a sweetness about them. I remember seeing myna birds in pet stores here when I was young. I would stand in front of their cage and just listen to their crazy singing. A shame that they're considered a pest. I had about 11 goldfinches eating from my feeders before I left for camping, but now I've only seen a couple. I think the resident hawk has been trolling for snacks in my yard. I know you've left for the States now, but I do hope you have safe travels and enjoy your time 'back home'. Hugs,

I love bird watching. It's one of my favorite things to do.
Hope your trip goes well - lots of fun and relaxation (and cooler temps!) It's like fall here many day this summer - crazy weather. I read that Alaska is having its hottest summer and yet here in Illinois, it's only in the 60s this morning. We're off for Colorado early Saturday morning.
Kind regards,

I'm taking a mental (and physical) break right now by reading blogs. Then I'm back to housework. It's too hot outside today to be doing anything out there. Certainly not as hot as what you mentioned though - "only" in the 90's here (with heat index up to 109). I can't even fathom 125. Does the death toll climb when the temps are like that? Your bird photos are gorgeous. Enjoy your time back here in the States!
- July 17, 2015 at 11:04 PM

I wish you a wonderful, wonderful trip to the States. You will be so much more relaxed this year knowing when you return you do not have to go back to work.
Enjoy your time away Tammy.

I love seeing your birds, Tammy. 125! It s ''only'' 88* here and we re getting ''heat alert'' warnings. I can imagine the heat you experience there. Time to stay in, crochet?
Hope you have fun---and cool weather, when you visit the Staes.

You have a very good eye for taking photos missy.... you make it look effortless yet, I am sure if I were to try it, all you would see is a blob next to a plant lol

I like the floral one, bottom left! The pinks and greens work well and it is very pretty!ReplyDelete
I was instantly drawn to the top right and bottom left of the first four swatches. Beautiful!ReplyDelete
Now I want to see the chair!
I love so many of these! Especially the top right on the second set and the top left on the first set. You sure have an eye for fabric. Be sure to hop on over to Lynn and Lou for a wonderful Giveaway!ReplyDelete

I love the bottom two the best!ReplyDelete
xo dana
These are all so lovely! But I'd have to say my favorites are the bottom two in the first set, and the top left in the second set. If I had disposable cash I would definitely buy a chair in one of these three fabrics. :)ReplyDelete
The very first pattern (purple and blue) is my favorite!ReplyDelete
My dear- you have put me in a terrible position! I'm going through a Moroccan phase (not my first time) at the moment, so the fourth one is screaming at me...ReplyDelete
Then again, I just love Green. The 6th one is the best...
However...it is nearly spring- so the 7th is the best...
I'm still deciding- and will be for some time! Go on without me!

so many cute options! i really love the first one and the one with the japanese cherry blossoms. but any of them would look great on the chair. are you going to post pics of your progress? we'd love to see!ReplyDelete

I think the geometric and polka dot prints are my favorite. All are beautiful and fun though!ReplyDelete
I adore all of these fabrics! I really can't choose one, but I especially love the top two in the second set.ReplyDelete

I'm thinking top right in the first set of swatches.ReplyDelete
Looking at redoing a couch pretty soon.. excited to be decorating a place, but a bit apprehensive about moving into the realm of having too many choices to be able to decide. :p

I LOVE the little triangles one!!!!!ReplyDelete
I find that picking out fabrics is suuuuch a difficult thing to do! I always have the hardest time with it. I really love the one with the triangles above :)ReplyDelete
I am a HUGE fan of polka dots!! I love the bottom 4 all equally!ReplyDelete

Wedding Fayres are great places to meet new suppliers, but if you've just got engaged its also a good place to start looking at wedding venues too. We work closely with some East Midlands venues and the Quorn Country Hotel is one of them. As far as photography is concerned we are all very spoilt for choice.
The Wedding Room is the Orangery, its beautiful, light and airy and can be decorated in many different colour schemes, the lovely wall freesia's give us some beautiful backdrops to our shots.
The Orangery is not just a beautiful wedding room, it also offers us a great big light and airy photography space if the weather outside is...well...unpredictably British!
Plus with the option of 3 spaces to have your wedding reception, the Orangery can also be a lovely room for the more intimate wedding party breakfasts.
Location is key and this lovely venue is right by the river, it has fantastic gardens with evergreen trees that provide you with that lush garden space all year round, beautiful winding paths (for when the grass is wet), Lots of lovely shade (for when the sun is full on).
And...an outside ceremony area when your looking for something just a little different on a summers day!
It has one of the biggest bridal suites with not just a master bedroom but a master suite enabling a number of ladies to get ready, have fun and not trip over each other and have a little tipple before the ceremony gets under way!
Oops we forget to mention the grand staircase for those lovely shots of bride and dad before the ceremony...or with your plus one after the ceremony!
So, with great staff to look after you and an all round venue that caters for guests overnight then look no further. To see the venue and us all there is a wedding fayre on the 25th February 11am to 3:30pm.
Happy Wedding Venue Searching!

Style: Gharba (Folk dance from the state of Gujarat, India) | When: August 28, 2013 | Where: Diu, India | Format: spontaneous… | Instructor: Random guy in the street
After Mumbai I went to Diu City in the state of Gujarat, India. There were just a few foreign tourists in Diu. It was funny to be stared at by beautiful women with tattooed necks, shiny clothes and lots of jewelry, as if I am some kind of an exotic bird.
And as always in India, it was festival. This time they celebrated Krishna's Birthday. Part of the festivities was a traditional Gujarati folk dance, called Gharba, around a lamp. A guy in the crowd taught me some basic steps. At first I hesitated because all the dancers were men. But I was told it is allowed for women, and that the women are just too shy. So I joined the dance and it was quite an experience.

welcome to my very first ever read along online book club! I should start this by saying that as a kid i hated reading. i much rather spent my time outside playing until the sun went down and even after that i would rather continue playing inside. now, as an adult i cannot get enough of reading. i love my sense of imagination. i don't know exactly when this switch got flipped but i'm happily enjoying the bliss of reading and i've made it a priority to try make time for quiet reading every day.
so now i want to share my love of reading with others.
i'm starting a no fuss, no muss monthly book club that anyone can access from anywhere. the idea is that i will post a new book at the beginning of every month. at the end of the month, i will post some of my thoughts and a few questions, to spark comments and conversation online – so you can participate in the comfort of your pj's and cup of java!
our first book for January is the very popular Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness, by Susannah Cahalan which has been getting rave reviews! if you have read it already, you are ahead of the game for this month. for those of you who haven't I encourage you all to pick up a hard or e-copy and jump into it. it's a book about one NYC journalists heart breaking experience with a very rare mental illness, and it's all true.
i am totally open to any comments or suggestions for other book recommendations for the upcoming months!

Fixing the CVS implementation and storing the file path in the RCS files instead of storing the RCS files in the path would have made cvs more powerfull than svn is today. (that is instead of a tree with the rcs files as leafs, there could be a flat list of rcs files where each stores where in the tree it is under which name for each revission or if that revission existed rather outside of the tree in a difeferent repo) And with a RCS file upload/download (aka push/pull) cvs could have been used offline and distributed ... i never understood why people droped cvs and started to work on svn that is in several ways inferrior (less secure, no moving between repos, database shit, ...) </rant> [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. -- Plato -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

AbstractThis paper presents an innovative access control system, based on human detection and path analysis, to reduce false automatic door system actions while increasing the added values for security applications. The proposed system can first identify a person from the scene, and track his trajectory to predict his intention for accessing the entrance, and finally activate the door accordingly. The experimental results show that the proposed system has the advantages of high precision, safety, reliability, and can be responsive to demands, while preserving the benefits of being low cost and high added value.

The housing market is so tight, even haunted houses are desirable.
You know it's a sellers' market when more than half of Americans say they aren't spooked by the notion of buying a haunted house.
For that matter, only 27 percent gave a firm "No" when it came to buying a home in which someone has died, according to a recent survey from Realtor.com. Sadly, this survey didn't look back at past years and compare, but real estate agents speculate that low inventory and high prices are overcoming superstitions.
The National Association of Realtors says the average house isn't lingering on the market beyond 30 days — and in the hottest markets, it's closer to 20. So why not give the paranormal properties a second look?
The key to unloading a haunted house is to push the perks. What would prompt buyers to pick a haunted home over one that isn't?
- 40 percent said price. They'll buy a haunted house, but only at a discount.
- 35 percent would require a better neighborhood.
- 32 percent would require more square footage.
- 29 percent would want extra bedrooms.
Some people (8 percent, to be exact) need no incentive to buy haunted.
Hot and cold spots? These are most readily shrugged off, with 48 percent of folks saying they could live with them. Strange noises register a close second in acceptable activity, with 45 percent of those surveyed willing to overlook them, followed by 35 percent who are OK with "strange feelings in a certain room."
Not surprisingly, buyers get nervous with reports of furniture levitating or the feeling of being touched by something unseen. What is surprising: While this is the creepiest sort of haunting, it still wouldn't deter one in five people.
That's because about 4 in 10 of those surveyed say they've lived in a home they either believed was haunted…
- 58 percent cited strange noises.
- 51 percent revealed strange feelings in certain rooms.
- 40 percent indicated objects moving or disappearing.
"Haunted houses are a popular attraction this time of year, but we wanted to see how many people would actually live in one," says Sarah Staley, a housing expert who helped with the survey. "What we found may be a sign of today's tight housing market, or for many living in a haunted house doesn't have to be a deal breaker."
Two haunted examples
This month, Zillow listed a Civil War-era estate for $730,000. The Pillars Estate in Albion, New York, comes complete with reports of mysterious footsteps, children's voices and a piano that plays itself. The home has been the spot for tea parties and events in the grand ballroom, but the caretaker draws the line at spending the night.
The supposedly haunted "Howey Mansion" in Central Florida has five bedrooms in the house and another two in the garage apartment. Back in April, Realtor.com featured the 7,188-square-foot home among its Most Popular homes — The Haunted Edition.
Describing it as "a little less creepy" than its top pick (a run-down mansion in Illinois), it noted the Howey Mansion was in foreclosure and advertised for $480,000 — while also requiring about $1 million in renovations.
The vacant and vandalized 1925 structure, named after the man who founded the small town Howey-in-the-Hills, spent nine days on the market, drew 10 offers and, in the end, sold for more than listed, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Conclusion: Haunted houses aren't small, and they aren't cheap.

Joint resolution
In the United States Congress, a joint resolution is a legislative measure that requires approval by the Senate and the House and is presented to the president for his approval or disapproval. Generally, there is no legal difference between a joint resolution and a bill. Both must be passed, in exactly the same form, by both chambers of Congress, and signed by the President (or, re-passed in override of a presidential veto; or, remain unsigned for ten days while Congress is in session) to become a law. Only joint resolutions may be used to propose amendments to the United States Constitution and these do not require the approval of the President.[1] Laws enacted by virtue of a joint resolution are not distinguished from laws enacted by a bill, except that they are designated as resolutions as opposed to acts (see for example War Powers Resolution).
While either a bill or joint resolution can be used to create a law, they are used differently in current usage. Bills are generally used to add, repeal, or amend laws codified in the United States Code or Statutes at Large, provide policy and program authorizations and twelve annual appropriations bills. Joint resolutions are generally used for, among other things:[2]
- To authorize small appropriations;
- For continuing resolutions, which extend appropriation levels adopted in a prior fiscal year, when one or more of the twelve annual appropriations acts have been temporarily delayed from becoming law on time;
- To create temporary commissions or other ad hoc bodies (e.g., the 9/11 Commission);
- To create temporary exceptions to existing law, such as joint resolutions providing a day other than January 6 for counting electoral votes or providing for a Saxbe fix reducing the pay of an office so that a member of Congress may avoid the Ineligibility Clause;
- To declare war.
- To terminate a national emergency declaration.[3]
- To amend the Constitution of the United States.

'Angry Birds Star Wars' is Happening — Watch the Teaser Here!
Angry Birds and 'Star Wars': Two great tastes that would go great together? The world is soon to find out! Rovio Entertainment, Hasbro and LucasFilm are combining forces (pun intended) to bring us not only a new video game that melds the two name-brands, but a whole slew of merchandise, including toys, dolls, board games, clothing and Halloween costumes.
The teaser for the game - and, essentially, the team-up as a whole - can be seen after the break!
For those interested, the Red Bird takes on the role of Luke Skywalker, the Yellow Bird is Han Solo and the Pink Bird is Princess Leia. Naturally, the Pigs are on the dark side of the force.
The Angry Birds Star Wars game will be available via the App Store on November 8th, while the merchandise will spring into stores and online retailers on October 28th. (Spy some pics from today's official announcement in Times Square's Toys R Us store over at Business Insider.) One especially cool item: a re-imagined version of Jenga, in which players will launch the birds to take down a Deathstar-shaped tower.
You can head over to Arcade Sushi for all your Angry Birds Star Wars needs. Will you choose the Rebellion, or the Empire?

For complex stuff maybe a different choice would make sense. However, my requirements are simple much like a mail merge:
- Taking an existing MS Word file (DOCX format) as input. (Use it as a template)
- Search the MS Word file for some placeholders / tags and replace with real data, but don't save any changes to the original file since it is my template.
- Be able to write changes to a new file or stream file to browser for download
// Sample command line application
static void Main(string[] args)
string filename = "Test.docx";
var oldNewValues = new Dictionary<string, string>();
oldNewValues.Add("pear", "banana");
oldNewValues.Add("love", "like");
byte[] returnedBytes = SearchAndReplace(filename, oldNewValues);
File.WriteAllBytes("Changed" + filename, returnedBytes);
// Does a search and replace in the content (body) of a MS Word DOCX file using only the DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging namespace.
// Reference: http://justgeeks.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/how-to-do-search-and-replace-in.html
public static byte[] SearchAndReplace(string filename, Dictionary<string, string> oldNewValues)
// make a copy of the Word document and put it in memory.
// The code below operates on this in memory copy, not the file itself.
// When the OpenXml SDK Auto saves the changes (that is why we don't call save explicitly)
// the in memory copy is updated, not the original file.
byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(filename);
using (MemoryStream copyOfWordFile = new MemoryStream())
copyOfWordFile.Write(byteArray, 0, (int)byteArray.Length);
// Open the Word document for editing
using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(copyOfWordFile, true))
// Get the Main Document Part. It is really just XML.
// NOTE: There are other parts in the Word document that we are not changing
string bodyAsXml = null;
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.GetStream()))
bodyAsXml = sr.ReadToEnd();
foreach (var keyValue in oldNewValues)
string oldValueRegex = keyValue.Key;
string newValue = keyValue.Value;
// Do the search and replace. Here we are implementing the logic using REGEX replace.
Regex regexText = new Regex(oldValueRegex);
bodyAsXml = regexText.Replace(bodyAsXml, newValue);
// After making the changes to the string we need to write the updated XML string back to
// the Word doc (remember it is in memory, not the original file itself)
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.GetStream(FileMode.Create)))
// Convert the in memory stream to a byte array (binary data)
// NOTE: These bytes can be written to a physical file or streamed back to the browser for download, etc.
byte[] bytesOfEntireWordFile = copyOfWordFile.ToArray();
return bytesOfEntireWordFile;
After calling the SearchAndReplace method you have the bytes that make up the MS Word file. It is up to you what you want to do with it. You can save it a file or stream it to the browser when a user clicks a link to download a file.
To write the file to another file (leaving the original unchanged), use the following line:
File.WriteAllBytes(newFilename, returnedBytes);
To stream the bytes back to a browser via a Action method in a ASP.NET MVC controller, use the following:
return File(returnedBytes, "application/msword", "Filename to download as here.docx");
NOTE: Original code inspired by this MSDN example and additional a post or other page I can't remember (sorry).

Virginia Reckless Driving by Speed:
Defending Radar, LIDAR, and PACE Cases
This post provides an overview of devices used to measure speed in Virginia. Fairfax Reckless Driving Lawyer and Criminal Attorney, Brenton D. Vincenzes, has represented clients accused of reckless driving in many jurisdictions, including: Fairfax, Prince William, Arlington–and other Northern Virginia jurisdictions.
There are many ways a lawyer can win a case.
In a Virginia reckless driving by speed case, the police officer probably used radar, LIDAR, or a pacing technique.
The device or method used by the officer is one of the facts that can drastically impact a case. Depending on the facts, circumstances, and the device used, your local Virginia reckless driving lawyer may want to turn to an entirely different chapter of their defense playbook.
You can usually determine how your speed was calculated by looking on your Summons.
Many cases are resolved by plea agreement, and the defendant makes this decision to avoid trial (uncertainty). Other times, less common factors can limit the use of a defense, but they are beyond the scope of this post.
Virginia Reckless Driving Device Defense,
Pros and Cons: RADAR vs. LIDAR
LIDAR is touted as a better option for measuring the speed of a vehicle in traffic, and is now very common. Despite advancements in technology, there are ways to attack the reading, operation, and functioning status of the device.
RADAR Calibration
We have posted extensively in the past on the calibration requirement issues when speed is at issue. The previous articles referencing this sub-topic can be visited via the prior link and the links from that page… or read the law itself, Virginia Code § 46.2-882.
LIDAR and RADAR Questions Virginia Traffic Attorneys May Ask Police Officers on Cross Examination
Virginia criminal lawyers and traffic attorneys cross examine police officers after the Commonwealth's Attorney's have finished direct examination….but what do lawyers do when it seems as if the testimony from the officer is solid, and all that there is to attack is the device itself (or, as a good Virginia defense attorney will tell you, the operator of the device, and sometimes, the person who tested the device).
7 questions a Virginia reckless driving attorney might ask in one way or another:
- self-test feature on device, and was it used?
- many cars near the vehicle?
- is the radar device hand-held?
- one-piece or two-piece device?
- how long was the suspect tracked?
- where was the device aimed?
- tracking vehicle from back to front, or front to back?
Any reckless driving violation in Virginia is serious, and can result in jail time and/or thousands in fines.
Pace Defense – Will it work for a Virginia Reckless Driving ticket?
While it is more common for a police officer to pull over a driver and charge him or her with a reckless driving offense based on RADAR or LIDAR output, the PACE method is used semi-frequently.
What is the pace method?
It refers to a method of determining (or, guessing) speed. The police officer may follow a driver, keep a steady distance for a period of several seconds, and note the speed of his or her cruiser.
The only way this can be said to be at all accurate is if speed is maintained; distance constant; and, the speedometer of the officer's cruiser calibrated and accurate.
How canthe PACE technique fail in court?
- testimony about fluctuating speed
- flaw in test
- time and distance
- speed up or slow
- how long was defendant paced
Compared with RADAR and LIDAR, the PACE method is primitive. It is not easy to maintain an exact distance between a vehicle, when the subject is traveling at an alleged high rate of speed on a public highway, or if during the time of the alleged pacing, the vehicles (one or both) change speed. Obviously it is physically impossible for an officer to keep the exact same distance between his vehicle and the defendant's vehicle. Similarly, it is impossible, literally and physically, to maintain the same speed as another vehicle for a period of time, even if off by hundredths of a unit.

"When you move in, people are not going to trust you," says Leroy Barber, Author, President of Mission Year and CEO of FCS Urban Ministries. Newcomers to a low-income community will not be trusted and may have a difficult time engaging the community and even determining its leaders. "There still is this distrust, and that is only broken with time."
The only way to minister effectively in community is to stay in it for the long haul. "If you're going to move in and don't commit to be there, then I would say don't move in." Too often well-meaning people move into a community to minister, but vacate as soon as something goes wrong or something bad happens. Ministry has to be done by people with a heart for the community and a commitment to stay, not by people trying to relieve their guilt. "Guilt is useless."

Here is a recap of events on this 1+ year listing that CLOSED this week.
Condensed process of my recent SHORTFALL with CHASE SHORTSALE with Carrington Mortgage for the buyer
Listed 12/13/13
12/31/13 1st offer
2/26/14 Release 1st buyer
3/1/14 2nd offer
5/18/14 2nd offer release
5/19/14 3rd offer
6/2/14 Release 3rd buyer
10/20/14 4th offer
11/17 Bank APPROVED SS
Multiple time SSA expired
3+ extensions on the approval trying to get the buyers loan approved
Th last 2 weeks of this process the buyer bank ( Carrington) and SS bank ( CHASE ) played hardball slashing CCA for the buyer on the hud and refusing to give PRELIMS ( Carrington or an extension to the SS (CHASE) until on or the other give in. Chase would not submit a new SS approval letter with an extended date until Carrington gave a Prelim HUD. Arrington would not do a PRELIM hud with out the extended SS letter. It was a CHICKEN and EGG feeling ……who is going first.
The Chase negotiator seemed to have it out for us and was not playing fair. Asking for some things that were already giving as well as slashing terms from a previous approval.
We had been added to an email loo for the buyers bank. I had access to them as was communication trying to assist in getting all the updated doc and extension. The unbelievable thing was when
Carrington mortgage the buyers bank called me and was giving us run around, even said he was pulling the loan because I stated I was TIRED AND DONE… Mind you IM NOT THE CLIENT for them.
There were up to 75 emails to all parties trying to resolve details to get the Hud approved by Chase ( shortfall Bank) and Carrington ( buyers bank)
Friday 1/9/14 we had what we thought was a HUD approval from the SS bank but at 4:55pm the negotiator approved the hud and neglected to send the new SS approval letter with an extended date. Buyer bank refused to release the closing package. All banks were closed and we were not able to speak to anyone about it.
Friday 5pm 1/9/14 I started tweeting CHASE begging for someone to call me.
Monday 1/12/14 in the later afternoon I get a call from the person who monitors TWITTER. He asked what the situation was. He looked in Equator and saw the SS approval extension and was confused at why the negotiator would approve the HUD and not send the letter. THIS WAS MY POINT …. we felt that this negotiator was new, or had it out for us. He uploaded the letter to equator for us to review.
Close 1-13-15- BUYER CLOSED at 5pm !!!!!!!!
This deal was SAVED impart by Social Media in my opinion. Thanks to reaching out to Chase on TWITTER and FACE BOOK we were abel to explain the issue and get someone to take a second look.

Alto provides unprecedented buying power to 57 million Americans with disabilities
Press Release – Palo Alto and Tel Aviv, Israel, [23 March 2017] – Alto, America's first advantage club for people with disabilities and their families, announces its launch today. Alto is designed to be the essential consumer destination for the 57 million Americans living with disability. It offers exclusive savings on the products and services that people with disabilities need and want to improve their quality of life.
The launch includes more than 1,000 aggregated exclusive savings and benefits on everything from mobility products to daily living, insurance and travel. Members of the Alto Advantage Club will be able to find and buy products with greater ease than ever before and save hundreds of dollars a year.
'It is incredible that until now this powerful consumer group has been largely ignored by countless retailers. Finding the appropriate resources for people with disabilities is often emotionally draining and time consuming for people and their families. It is so refreshing to see a business endeavor that is catering to this market by curating and centralizing the very best products at competitive prices to help people living with disabilities in every aspect of their lives' David Small Executive Director, Variety – the Children's Charity.
Alto is a recent graduate of NFX. It was developed by the founders of global empowerment site and online community, Yoocan , which launched last year after graduating from the Microsoft Accelerator program. Its founders have been chosen to present their vision at the prestigious Impact Network convention for social technologies impacting change in the world on March 30th in Paris.
"We are determined to unify and empower this consumer group in the same way that advantage clubs like AARP for seniors and veterans' clubs like USAA deliver benefits and savings worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars to their communities," said Moshe Gaon, CEO of Alto. "It is personal for me, as my family has experienced the very challenges we seek to overcome with Alto and we are striving to develop something that will provide benefits and advantages for families with disabilities like never before."
Alto is the creation of brothers Moshe and Yoav Gaon and Dror Kalisky. When Yoav's son Erez was born with a rare disease and complex disabilities the family experienced immense frustration and emotional stress. They sought solutions that would allow their child and family to do basic things like cycle, travel or find an accessible restaurant. They realized how much potential technology and help there was available around the world but how scattered it was, how hard to find or buy.
They began to research and engage with organizations for people with disabilities and reach out to community members around the world. Then they launched yoocan, the global empowerment site for people with disabilities and their families to share stories, educate and motivate each other to do anything.
From here emerged the great demand for a vertical membership club that could aggregate and bring benefits and savings to this huge community.
Alto aims to source and offer the very best, cutting edge products and technology for 57 million Americans with disabilities who have thus far been entirely overlooked as an important consumer group.
About Alto
Alto is America's first advantage club for people with disabilities and their families. It offers its members the very best value on the products they need to maximize their quality of life with benefits and savings worth hundreds of dollars a year. Alto empowers the 57 million Americans living with disabilities and their families, who have until now been overlooked as an important consumer group, to find the best products at the fairest prices.
Thanks so much for sharing ALTO. We are proud to be featured on your site.
Thanks so much!
I got directed to your website while doing my research. My older sister(61 and retired from the workforce and has recently suffered a medical prescription overdose and has a life ahead of herself with her disabilities). I am trying to help her out with forecasting her future and what she has to prepare for and be prepared for life uncertainties. Do you have something available to help me out with her long term planning and research potential long term health care policies and equip her house to meet her disabilities?
My name is Chris Jordan and I'm the founder of Disability Talk (a UK website that champions the 'rights' of disabled people). Many famous people support us and we're hoping that Meryl Streep will join this year's panel for our photographic competition "A World Of Unfairness" .. currently our panel of judges is headed by PROFESSOR STEPHEN HAWKING (photos of him presenting last year's prizes can been seen on our website).
Just about to launch CARITAS (financial products for disabled charities and their supporters) which will reach out to over 18million people – and would love to include an Advantage Card.
Do you have email contact details for 'ALTO ADVANTAGE' as I would love to speak to them? Many thanks,
Chris Jordan
