PUC = Public Utilities Commission
By Jefferson Dodge
Why did I find this info?
Cause I was following this:
The controversy over the appointment of Glenn Vaad, a member of the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), … ALEC, a group that has campaigned to overturn renewable energy standards around the country.
ALEC's "State Legislator of the Year" award in 2012
chair of the ALEC Task Force on Commerce, Insurance & Economic Development,
Vaad received ALEC "scholarships" for traveling to the council's conferences in 2006, 2007 and 2008 — from a fund that Xcel Energy contributed to
Not only does the PUC deal with energy issues – but they deal with telecom and transportation issues which could be very dangerous for Colorado across the state with this ALECer in the PUC
Within that article was lots of interesting things.
Elsner and Friends of the Colorado PUC point out that Xcel is a former member of ALEC
Former member – really???
ALEC records show that they were Wisconsin Private State Chair in 2011.
Michelle Aguayo, a spokesperson for Xcel, says her company hasn't given money to ALEC since 2010, but "if you've been affiliated once, then they'll brand you for life."
ALEC records show that they were Wisconsin Private State Chair in 2011.
Once?"if you've been affiliated once, then they'll brand you for life."
"It's a charitable donation."
That's what happens when you have an organization like ALEC registered as a 501c3
Then she goes on to bash those who are trying to put sunlight on ALEC's vile behaviors.
"They will use any and every tactic they can to bolster their positions, whether they are valid or not. And unfortunately, you get some groups that, if they say something enough, they believe it, whether or not it's true, and they want everybody else to believe it as well, to validate their opinion. Do we quit giving money to anybody and everybody because of possible ties somewhere down the road?"
Well that's a little pissy if you ask me.
This is another example of corporations who give ALEC massive amounts of money - and then walk away and whine afterwards.
These corporations KNEW what they were doing when they funded ALEC.
Yes - they should forever pay the consequences
- unless they also pay to UNDO the damage done by ALEC legislation.
Then you run into ALEC "model legislation / policy that Xcel is knee deep in.
(For their part, Xcel officials say they are considering making people with rooftop solar panels begin paying a fee to use the company's electric lines, just like their other customers do.)
Still trying to wrap my head around this one.
Homeowners pay huge amounts of money to install solar (I'd luv to have solar, can't afford it) and then ALEC fake legislators decide that solar owners should pay the energy companies because they are pulling themselves off the grid
– AND offering the energy companies their excess energy
– well, I'd quit that right now.
Then more interesting stuff:
"Xcel Energy just received approval to add 170 mega watts of utility scale solar to the Colorado system," she says via email. "We are adding this not to fulfill the state's renewable energy standard [RES], but because it was cost-competitive with natural gas and benefits all Colorado Xcel Energy customers.
Now isn't there a GOP mantra and ALEC's that solar is "supposedly" more expensive?
because it was cost-competitive
because it was cost-competitive
because it was cost-competitive
More interesting stuff:
Some say Vaad's appointment increases the likelihood that the PUC will require the city of Boulder to cover the cost of building new substations and other infrastructure it condemns and takes over from Xcel rather than requiring the two entities to share such infrastructure, an outcome that could significantly increase the pricetag of municipalization.
City of Boulder condemns corporate infrastructure
condemns - there's gotta be a really good reason for that!
Then the City of Boulder has to pay for the utility companies new infrastructure?
Really – really?
Is this coming to your town next?
Now it was my assumption that when I paid my utility bill that the utility company was budgeting some of that money for infrastructure maintenance.
Kinda like when I budget money to maintain my house.
Now – think about it
the utility company has gouged us for decades
– taking our money
– and were too damn stupid to budget for infrastructure?
All that money went for fancy offices and huge executives salaries and they didn't bother to budget for their infrastructure?
We're seeing this in the telecom industry also – where they are doing the same thing.
the telecom company gouged us for decades
– taking our money
– and were too damn stupid to budget for infrastructure?
Then had ALEC legislation passed so they don't have to maintain their old copper wire plants – forcing everyone to go to VOIP, even when the VOIP or cell coverage is non-existent or totally unreliable in some parts of the country.
Anyhow - - -
So now we have ALEC corporate members who have not run their businesses well –
Corporate failures really
– but they are ALEC members
– so they write legislation to cover their incompetent "free market" butts.
– The proof is in the ALEC legislation that the corporations are now buying.
Telling the taxpayers – your city has to pay to rebuild our corporate infrastructure or we (the utilities) can walk away from obsolete infrastructure and let you, clean it up.
It doesn't matter that you, the customers,
have paid us billions and billions and billions of dollars
over the years to the utilities
– we (the utility companies) were incompetent corporate nincompoops
and didn't put away any money for infrastructure maintenance.
So - - - - now we (the utility companies)
want taxpayer dollars
to maintain our (the utility companies) infrastructure
AND ALEC has legislation for that or will have legislation for that
- cause we paid them to.
- cause we paid them to.
We – the consumer get SCREWED twice.
For paying the utility companies for all these years – assuming they would maintain what they own.
For electing ALEC legislators – who give (the utility companies) a free ride on taxpayer dollars by passing ALEC legislation that forces us to pay, in some manner, for ALEC corporate members infrastructure.
Well - - - -I'll be damned – we're all dumber than I thought.
Good thing – we, the taxpayers, are so damn rich
– so we can pay and pay and pay and pay
While corporate executives – take and take and take and take.
We have to eliminate the ultraconservative, pro-corporate American Legislative Exchange Council. Their interests are not those of the taxpayer.

This is again one of my trial and error baking attempts.
Last Sunday, I was doing a quick shopping at JCube, near Jurong East MRT (you can read more about JCube and its indoor ice-skating rink at Cuisine Paradise). As usual, all my shopping end with making a trip to the basement supermarket. Even if I don't buy anything, just feel good by looking at the fresh fruits and vegetables. That's what I thought, just window-shopping. But, did you notice that supermarkets always display their freshest fruits at the entrance to entice you to step in and buy? I was hooked right at the entrance at Cold Storage! Plump, fresh and juicy dark red cherries were on sale! My little gal loves dark cherries (ok, that's an excuse for me to buy) and so I bought a kilo of these lovely cherries home. These cherries are very sweet, juicy and full of flavour!
This tart has a few components:
- the chocolate biscuit base
- chocolate ganache
- thin chocolate sponge
- dairy whipped cream with cherry sauce
- fresh pitted cherries
- chocolate shavings and drizzle
Chocolate Tart Base (8" round tart pan)
170g plain flour, 10g cocoa powder, 90g butter, 1 tbsp fine sugar, 1 egg yolk, 2 to 3 tbsp water
1) Using the rubbing-in method, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and butter. Then add in the egg yolk and water to form a dough.
2) Chill the dough in fridge briefly for easy handling. Roll out the dough to fit the tart pan.
3) Blind bake in preheated oven of 180C for about 15 minutes. Remove baking paper/beans etc and bake again for about 20 minutes. Remove and cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache
150g dark chocolate, 100g dairy cream
Heat dairy cream till hot and pour over dark chocolate. Stir till chocolate melts completely.
1) Can increase cream to 120g for a softer chocolate texture.
2) Can add 1 to 2 tbsp rum or liquor to the chocolate ganache.
Thin Chocolate Sponge (optional)
For me, the chocolate sponge serves two purposes. One, to cut down on the whipped cream needed. Two, to give a different texture to the tart. If you are a cream-lover, the sponge is really optional.
Dairy Whipped Cream with Cherry Sauce
150g dairy whipping cream, 1 to 2 tbsp icing sugar, 1 tsp gelatin + 2 tbsp water (to melt the gelatin)
2 to 3 tbsp cooked cherries jam/sauce or juice from canned cherries
Whisk the cream and icing sugar till soft peak, add in dissolved gelatin and cherries jam. Continue to whisk till firm. Keep chill in fridge till ready to use.
I did not use cherry sauce/jam for the whipped cream. I have about 3 tbsp rhubarb jam to be cleared, so I use that instead.
Fresh pitted cherries
You need to pit the cherries (i.e. remove the seeds) before placing them on the tart. You can check online for how to pit a fresh cherry. For me, it's a low cost method of using a wooden chopstick. Remove the stem, aim at the point (where the stem was) and poke the chopstick through. The seed will come out at the other end. It seems difficult at the beginning. Practice makes perfect! Alternatively, buy canned dark cherries.
To assemble:
1) Spread chocolate ganache on baked tart shell (reserved a little ganache for decoration)
2) Place chocolate sponge in the middle of the tart and press down gently
3) Spread whipped cream evenly on the tart.
4) Press the pitted cherries into the cream.
5) Decorate with chocolate shavings and drizzle ganache over the tart.
1) For stronger cherry flavour as well as better visual presentation, serve with chocolate cherry sauce glaze.
2) Chill the tart for a few hours or overnight in fridge, remove and rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. The tart tastes better after overnight in the fridge, than freshly baked and assembled ;)
2) Chill the tart for a few hours or overnight in fridge, remove and rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. The tart tastes better after overnight in the fridge, than freshly baked and assembled ;)

Quality Lean Index is used to educate carcass contest participants about pork quality. It is also changing what it takes to win a Missouri hog show.
Pork quantity measured as percent lean wins state fair carcass contests. Pork quality measured in pleasant eating experiences wins the appetite of hungry consumers. But where is the balance between pork quantity and pork quality?
The Quality Lean Index (QLI) was developed at the University of Missouri to educate carcass contest participants about the importance of pork quality. The developers received the National Pork Producers Council innovation award for education at the Midwest section of the American Society of Animal Science for their efforts.
"Traditional carcass contests have rewarded production of very high lean content," explains Missouri meat scientist Eric Berg. "When this concept originated, the industry was striving to produce leaner pigs. Now the expectations have shifted back toward moderation and emphasis on pork quality."
Berg, Bill Lamberson, Missouri animal science professor, and Tim Safranski, state swine breeding specialist, developed the QLI.
The QLI uses carcass lean percent, Hunter L* value and pH to grade carcasses.
The Hunter L* measures the intensity of light reflectance and was chosen as a variable because of its association with consumer perceptions of fresh pork color.
Quality measurements are taken from the ham, thus avoiding cutting and devaluing the loin or belly to measure 10th rib backfat for contest carcasses.
Real-time ultrasound determines the backfat and loin eye area prior to slaughter.
Doing the Math
The mathematical equation developed for the index is QLI = (7.76 % lean) - (0.067 % lean2) - (1.9995 L* value) + (1.62 pH). The photographs and Table 1 illustrate how the QLI is used to judge two carcasses.
Percent lean The carcass lean content is determined by a certified ultrasound technician before slaughter.
Percent lean squared This variable is added to the index because of the negative correlation between very heavy muscled pigs and meat quality.
Color evaluation The QLI uses HunterLab MiniScan XE Plus spectrophotometer on the Gluteus medius muscle, the large muscle on the cut surface when the ham is removed from the carcass. Quality measures in this ham muscle have a high correlation to the color and pH of the loin muscle.
Muscle pH Obtained with an SPK pH-Star glass-tipped pH probe by insertion into the same ham muscle. The ultimate pH of normal meat is 5.5 to 5.7. Higher pH leads to a shorter shelf life for pork products, and lower pH is associated with acidity and drip loss.
Interest from Producers
Interest in the QLI is growing among the state's commercial swine producers, who are coming back to carcass contests, Berg says.
"Producers have recognized the direction and focus of the pork quality chain," he says. "They enter these contests with the goal of obtaining information about the quality of their pigs, and actually winning the contest is a nice reward for being progressive in their management."
The Missouri Pork Producers Association and the university have begun featuring the QLI at seminars for commercial producers.
The QLI was used to judge the 2000 Missouri State Fair barrow carcass show. A number of county market hog shows have incorporated use of the QLI, Safranski says.
Interest is also growing among organizers of barrow carcass contests in Ohio, Tennessee and Iowa, researchers say.
The hogs bred for barrow shows aren't the same as those commercially produced for meat, but Berg finds similarities.
"The show ring can be considered either an artificial representation of the industry or can be looked upon for trends in the future of pork production," he says.
As with many "contest" environments, the hogs at the Missouri shows were becoming freakishly huge and atypically lean, Berg says. The QLI completely changed what type of hog participants need to win.
"I was surprised that the QLI was so widely and positively accepted by the Missouri show jocks," he says. "It meant retooling and rethinking the efforts expended in winning a carcass contest.
"This also tells me they are aware of the direction of the industry regarding production of high quality pork and toward the ultimate goal of total customer satisfaction," Berg says.
|Carcass #1
|Carcass #2
|Percentage of carcass lean = 64%
|Percentage of carcass lean = 58%
|Percentage carcass lean2 = 4096
|Percentage carcass lean2 = 3364
|Hunter L* value = 60
|Hunter L* value = 48
|Ham Gluteus medius muscle pH = 5.48

Hi, First, the goal isn't necessarily validation but looking at accessibility. Second, different people have different interpretations of what an accessible web page is to blind people. For example, look at the various standards that have been or are being developed. The methodology being used was to get subjective experience of various blind subjects. Rather than taking the perspective that the web pages are accessible because they meet some set of standards, we focused on whether the blind subjects themselves experienced the web pages as being accessible. The feedback that was given was interesting and helpful. Using a comparison strategy can also be helpful, but not always necessary for getting useful information. The issue of skill is something to consider. A question though is how much is it a blind person's responsibility to have a certain skill level and how much is it the web page's responsibility not to have high expectations for skill level? The Hisoftware person I talked with left me with the impression that the software doesn't have mechanisms for measuring such things as how long does it take for the blind subject to understand a web page or determining how accurately the blind subject understands the web page. The software basically is checking syntax against a specified set of standards rather than evaluating the experience of the subjects. Rather than discussing the questions, it might be interesting first to use them when working with a variety of blind subjects. However, a question to ask is if a sighted person can understand the purpose of a web page in let's say 15 seconds and it often takes a blind person 2 minutes to understand the same web page, is that web page accessible? Scott > there is no validation here. Now, if you use comparison strategies and > ask what was good or bad or whatever about this site as opposed to this > site and you knew at what starting point the person was at skill wise, > you might get somewhere.

Men with disabilities may be particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse, a study finds, and much more likely to report sexual violence over their lifetime compared with men who aren't disabled.
The statistics are part of a study released online Tuesday in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine that surveyed 25,756 men and women who were part of a regional health survey. Among the participants, about 21% had a disability. Part of the survey focused on sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, and unwanted sexual touching and sexual exposure over the past year as well as over a lifetime. While other studies have documented sexual abuse against disabled women, less is known, the authors said, about disabled men.
About 13.9% of men who had a disability reported lifetime sexual violence, while 3.7% of men without disabilities reported the same. Among women with disabilities, 26.6% said they experienced lifetime sexual violence compared with 12.4% of women who weren't disabled.
Men who had disabilities were more likely than non-disabled men to report rape and attempted rape over their lifetime, and were as likely to report those attacks as non-disabled women. Overall, disabled men were 4.4 times more likely to report lifetime sexual violence than men who were not disabled.

Artist Statement
In 1983 as a reward for enduring the tediousness of commuting four hours a day to my job in New York City, I enrolled in a silk painting class at The School of Visual Arts. What I found through that experience was a passion for textile design. It married a long-standing love of fabrics with the vibrancy of color and the basics of design.
So I walked away from the daily car rides, the train rides and the bus rides, and opened The Apricot Lion, a textile design firm. Initially, I focused on silk painting and dyeing, creating wall pieces, pillows and yardage for professionals in the interior design field. From there I branched out into scarves, vests, and jackets for the retail customer. In the late 90's, as commercially hand-dyed fabrics became more readily available---and as surface design crossed over into the reemerging quilting field---I did less of my own fabrics, and concentrated more time on design and new directions happening in the area of the art quilt.
What is exciting about the medium of textile art is the collaborative effort it affords between the tactile nature of fabric, color choices applied, and the expression of ideas through design and technique. From initial concepts to the refining of the completed image, it is a joy to be engaged in every step of the creative process. Inspiration often comes from the flora and fauna of the many areas of this country where I have lived. I am particularly interested in including in my work woodland species which are endangered or rarely seen. There are endless possibilities still to be expressed!

Anne Jacobs, of Sofilantjes Patterns, is a talented PDF pattern designer. I was lucky to be chosen to test the Iridis Dress add-on pattern, which is a circle skirt complement to the original Iridis wrap dress with a paneled skirt. The Iridis circle skirt add-on will be on SALE from Sunday, 15th February 2015, to Wednesday, 18th February for $2.50 (normal price $4.50) The Iridis wrap dress + circle skirt add-on BUNDLE will be on sale for $10 (normal bundle price $11.95).
The best thing about her as a designer was that she took everyone's feedback seriously, and always had a helpful word for each tester. We had a wonderful group of testers, and all of us shared videos of our kiddos twirling in this twirltastic dress! (I *had* to use the word twirltastic for this dress, it's a given!) Miki even learned to twirl in this dress! She's really growing up too fast.
And the best part? The add-on skirt piece works perfectly with the original bodice. The new skirt piece fits the original bodice piece exactly, and looks great sewn on. The pattern has so much information – fabric choices, layered printing, printing layout and guide to print only the pages you need for your chosen size, child's actual measurements, finished garment measurements, fabric chart, how to put on binding, and an awesome summary of the instructions both in words and in pictures. This much information I have seldom seen from any pattern designer, if ever.
The fabrics I used were a cotton interlock from Joann (green flowers), a mystery pink and white stripe that I had in my scrap basket that had over 100% stretch, and 95/5 cotton lycra jersey from Purpleseamstress on Facebook.

People across the U.S. have been feeling the negative impact of the recent recession which the country is still in the process of recovering from. The economic downturn had a significant effect on employment opportunities for people in Michigan and elsewhere in the country. This is why Michigan lawmakers have taken action to create state incentives to assist in business planning to expand 14 businesses which will create approximately 4,590 jobs across the state.
New business opens theater inside Michigan mall
When large companies decide to open a business in a community, many times this will significantly increase economic activity within the local community. This can significantly help a local community jump-start its local economy while also adding more job opportunities for residents. Regal Entertainment Group is looking to do just that by opening a new business , a large stadium-style movie theater at a local mall in Michigan.
New owners of commercial real estate obtains help from city
When a company purchases a large piece of commercial property, it has to conform to the rules and regulations of the city government. However, many times the city government will also proactively help the new owner of commercial real estate make the transition, since it will help stimulate the local economy. This may be what is happening with the new owners of property in Michigan which was purchased from Ford Motor Co.
Creative business planning fosters creativity in Michigan
Since the recent recession, the economy in the U.S. has changed dramatically. The stable jobs that were once there before may not be as abundant or even in existence anymore. Michigan particularly felt the effects of the recession in the state's manufacturing sector. This has caused many people to flee the struggling local economy; however, there are some people who have been able to capitalize on the current situation. These entrepreneurs have been able to harness their creativity and put it into innovative business planning .
Michigan firm's business planning focuses on hydrogen
Scientific advancements have greatly benefited society in a variety of ways. Science has made life easier, while also providing lucrative business opportunities for others. Entrepreneurs who are able to find their specific niche may also be able to start a new business and capitalize on their innovative ideas with effective business planning . One man in Michigan decided to do this in 1991 with his research company that specializes in developing technology and engineering uses for hydrogen.

It was definitely a nice and busy Monday morning. I had an order to get out in the post first thing. That was followed by a surprisingly drama free morning of schooling for the kids. I think that they might have actually been happy to get back to work, or at least have something more to do than sit about and be lazy.
After those were made up I finished remaking the last piece from the order I sent out in the morning. I then started reading. I managed two short stories and started another enormous novel. I guess I can find time for all the things I want to do during the day.
I'm finished with tatting tasks, so I'm crossing my fingers for something to come up while I'm schooling the kids this morning. Otherwise it's more reading and perhaps I'll get back to some knitting as I have a gift to make. Though it's not needed until Spring, so I might not. Oh, who knows what the day will actually bring, but i might as well get to it.

This will be my submission for assignment four in People and Place, ' A sense of Place'. I have thought hard about the criteria and brief for this assignment which states the following: Imagine that you are on an assignment for an intelligent, thoughtful travel publication that is demanding a considered, in-depth treatment. Aim to produce sufficient images on a specific location to fill, say, six pages. This would mean about six final images as chosen, but at least twice this number of good publishable images from which to make the final selection. Aim to show the character of the place and of the people who live there with as much visual variety as possible.
I live mostly in Dubai but I travel quite a lot. My first thoughts on this project was to shoot at a location 'other' than the one I live in, but taking my camera away with me at times can be difficult due to the job I do. So the only way I was going to get this assignment done was to submit the required images from Dubai.
I was a little confused at first about the difference of a 'thoughtful publication' and a 'tourism promotion'! After some research and I understood these images were not required to be full glossy type images that would appear on a front cover, but I think to be more on the ground and in the streets types of shots. Street photography maybe, but certainly images that are going to show character and as its mentioned in the brief, to show and give a feel of the people also. Dubai is full of tourists so I need to be careful I don't over emphasise the tourist side but show more of what Dubai has to offer.
The current weather here has been rather poor, with very high winds bringing with it low visibility. I have waited for over a week to try and allow the weather to change, but this time of year here the changing of the high to low temperatures are causing warm and cold air around the ocean to bring with it 30MPH winds. The other issue here is that the winds bring with it sand from the desert so visibility does get very low. So I cannot delay any further as I am already behind, so I will have to concentrate on maybe closer up shots, interiors and maybe some night images if the wind drops enough later in the day.
Without going into too much detail some brief history can be found here: https://www.dubai.com/v/history/
The cultural differences here are huge. Many types of nationalities reside in Dubai, I think well over 200 types. At first I thought of maybe having these numerous cultures part of the theme for my images, but it was proving too difficult and I knew I would have road blocks trying to get into certain areas such as mosques, and having to be careful of taking images of local woman (and men at times) which can be highly frowned upon if not done very carefully. Its getting better here over the last 10 years or so, and Dubai has become very westernised, but one still has to be careful when it comes to pointing a camera at people and in certain locations without causing issues.
Having finally decided of the type of approach I would take, which was to remove myself from taking any glossy images and/or of locals in part of respect, below is a contact sheet of my final selection of images:
Contact sheet:
The images above are my final selection of 12 images, and not in any order. Below is my selection of the 6 images I short listed but decided not to submit , with a short explanation why.
Short listed images:
[219], [220], [221]
-EDIT- Based on tutors feedback, this image of the fisherman was deemed too far away. It was suggested to get in closer. As I was unable to capture the same image again, I have cropped the image to bring the figures into the frame.
[219] – The first image of the fisherman I thought was a good indication of life in Dubai. The buildings in the background also add the the sense of place in the image. But I had selected another image with a similar feel which I thought was a better option.
[220] – I liked this image of the dhows and the view of the people in the boat making the water crossing on the Dubai Creek. But I felt their was too many distractions with the ropes crossing in front of the image and the figures in the boat too small.
[221] – This image of the Dubai landscape I thought of using as the opening shot, making some suggestion in the write up of Dubai waking up early morning and moving on from their with a story. However I felt the lack of people in the image and the fact the buildings are situated quiet far away made me decide not to submit. Although as an overall picture of the Dubai landscape I thought it worked well.
[222], [223], [224]
[222] – I thought this image showed the feel of Dubai, and how busy the creek area gets in the day. Although the wooden barrier and post was too much of a distraction, and I wanted to get a closer feel of the people which is in my final selection.
[223] – Very similar to image [222], this was another option but the faces were too dark. Yes I can bring these dark shadows out in spot production but as the other image I wanted to get a closer feel of the people and faces.
[224] – This came in close to the final selection of 6, and the comments would have been that Dubai is a haven for sporting events. These are the world champion cycling team from Italy and were here for a major race. This was during a training day shortly before the main event. I decided not to use this on my final selection as the background was a little boring, although it is desert it could be in any location and I wanted to remain in the city of Dubai.
Final selection:
Dubai was basically desert not such a long time ago when compared to other cities around the world. This area now has a metropolis of buildings, golf courses, residence buildings, office blocks and even a metro line. Its hard to believe that just 15 years ago, this was all desert. I was living here then and used to drive passed this area and I was still 15 mins drive away before I reached any buildings within the downtown area of Dubai. Its hard to image how much the city of Dubai has progressed in such a relatively short space of time, and this can be seen almost at every turn. The image was taken also taking into account one of the recent exercises which was a single small figure, as can be seen with the two golfers on the green to the right of the images on the lower third. An interesting fact is two of the tallest buildings that can be seen in the centre image are the worlds tallest office block, and residence block in the world.
Dubai is a major tourist attraction. It does have oil, but the supplies will soon be reduced within the next 100 years (predicted). The government and rulers of Dubai had a wonderful vision to attract tourist thus bringing in income from another source. The tourist industry now is one of the largest in Dubai with millions of visitors per year, and Dubai Intl airport is now the busiest airport in the world for major destinations in and out of the city. One of the largest attractions in Dubai is indoor shopping centres. Due to the heat in the summer which can go above 50 degree cent, most of the shopping areas are indoors and air conditioned. This shopping mall is called Dubai Mall, and has the largest indoor aquarium in the world. This is a 10 million-litre tank at the Dubai Aquarium with more than 33,000 aquatic animals and the largest collection of sand tiger sharks in the world. It also has 140 species of sea life and has several ways to experience underwater life, starting with a stroll through a 48-metre walk-through tunnel. It's a complete fish-eye view, with sand tiger sharks and stingrays swimming overhead. The Dubai Mall I believe is currently the largest shopping mall in the middle east and the third largest in the world.
-EDIT- This image of the aquarium was originally further away from the people and aquarium. this image has been edited based on tutor feedback to bring the whole image and people in the frame closer. This is the original image below.
Dubai is situated on the Persian gulf, and this opens up many options for building and waterways close to the sea. This is an area called Madinat, and has many shops and food outlets, cleverly covered with palm trees and hotels to give a pleasing feel. The water is brought in from the sea and the landscaping is idyllic. People can walk around the waterways, take an Abra ride, shop, eat and take in the sights of an old type arabic souk (market). In the background we can see the only 7 star hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab hotel, along with its own helipad 750 above the ground. Another use of a small figures can be seen on the left and right of the image.
Tutor feedback notes additional comment – This image is intended to show how diverse Dubai really is. We can see a combination of waterways, green landscaping, shops and eating areas and the worlds only 7 star hotel in the background the Burj Al Arab Hotel…all from what was only a short while ago barren desert.
Keeping with the water theme, both residents and visitors can enjoy the waterways and open sea for all types of water events from boating, both private and for hire, skiing, jet ski rental, cruising and dining etc. Many residents own expensive boats and yachts which are based in the marina and the water is a major part of Dubai residents and visitors for recreation and spare time. The weekend here is Friday and Saturday so the seas are full of craft during the weekends. These added man made waterways have been a magnet for architects and the construction of buildings and high-rises. Dubai is a open book for designers of such buildings like the 'twisty' building which is Cayan Tower ("The building's twisted shape reduces wind forces on the tower and channels the wind in such a way that its forces are unable to organise themselves," quote Ref: National Newspaper) and other high rises and office blocks.
So what about the people? Population of Dubai is currently around 2.67 million. From this around 80% are of Indian or Pakistani origin. From this around 92% are expatriates. The country is built on manual labour to the most part. You will see these workers on the building construction, road construction, serving in shops, petrol stations etc and these are what we could call the worker bees of the city (I mean that in a nice way). Temperatures in the summer can be very hot and Dubai has a temperature limit that allows workers to stop outside activities when it gets to a certain temperature limit, this is to protect the safety of the workers. During the off days again usually a Friday and Saturday, the workers will congregate around many parts of Dubai, one of them being Dubai Creek which is in the old town of Dubai and were many of these workers reside. The main source of income for Dubai started around the creek in the 1830's as a pearl fishing village and remained so until the 1930's after the recession. The workers will remove the overalls and be happy to take time to see the sights, drink arabic coffee or sweet tea and wear a nice shirt or local dress while enjoying time with friends. The creek is still used as a major import/export area and a busy hub as can be seen with the Abras or water taxis bringing passengers and tourists between the two sides of the creek.
I had mentioned in one of the biggest forms of income in Dubai is tourism. Nothing can be seen as an example than in the shopping malls and beach locations. Land is at its prime, and this area is not far away from my first image of the gold course, which 15 years ago was all desert as i mentioned. I remember coming to this area and camping on the beach. Not such a long time ago they were two hotels on this beach, one behind were I'm standing and another about a kilometre ahead of the camera view does the beach. Now we can see a small beach area with towering high-rise buildings which are mainly all accommodation blocks and apartments overlooking the beach. Many of the beaches have now been taken over with construction of hotels and large high rise buildings making beach areas limited. This area is known as JLT Jumeriah Lake Towers and is about 4km of beach front, shops, apartment blocks and hotels. This image was taken on a week working day, so come weekend it would be hard to find any spare area of beach, especially in the winter when the temperatures are bearable. This is one of the most popular spots for beach goers and visitors who like to take in the sun, sand and water and all Dubai has to offer.
The final brief of this assignment is to write down what we thought of our assignment from the following questions:
What did you set out to achieve, including a description of how you see the essential character of the place?
I wanted to stay away from the glossy type photos of a magazine as what was also mentioned in the brief, and try and show another side of Dubai from more of a person that lives here and also the residents of Dubai, and what it may feel like to I've here and not as a visitor. My images were not to be heavily post processed at the risk of them looking slightly boring and plane, but the intention is to show Dubai from a ground level view and not glossy and glitzy.
How well you think you succeeded, including opportunities that were not available to you because of lack of time or access?
I have tried to show a good cross section of Dubai from the people who live and work here, to the offers Dubai has fro both visitors and those who may live and work here. I have included both old and new parts of the city giving viewers an overall feel of the city. I would have liked to maybe include some other recreational aspects of what Dubai has to offer such as camel racing, horse racing and what the desert has to offer, but this would mean more travel and I wanted to remain in the city, and again not include the glossy aspects of Dubai. I would have liked to include locals in some of my images but this can be a sensitive issue here at times, so out of respect I refrained from doing this.
How you might have approached the assignment if you had simply been taking photographs with no-end result in mind (meaning an article to be published)?
Given the choice I think I would have gone for the more glossy type of images. I feel that my submitted images are not types you would see in any high gloss magazine, but this was the brief we needed to stick to. Dubai has a lot to offer both in terms of locations in the city and out in the open spaces such as desert and even further out in the mountains. I would have submitted some images which would include night, and maybe a slow shutter image to show movement either in a night shot or other daytime shot with moving clouds or similar.
Finally I found the subject matter of images hard to conclude as I am more used to taking images that would be seen on postcards, or images of the many interesting buildings that Dubai has to offer. I think I have met the criteria of the brief and shown a good selection of images that show the people and place of Dubai that wouldn't be first apparent in many of the other publications or personal images of visitors who would focus more on the tourist attractions of the city.
No heavy post production was made to the images, which I think adds to the real life feeling and removes focus from how the image looks, to more of what the image is about.
This concludes Assignment 4 – A sense of place.
Onto Assignment 5 People and Place on Assignment.


text:
"Among the various heresies that arose at the time of the Reformation, one of the most notable was the doctrine of "Eternal Security" - the teaching that the Christian cannot lose his salvation."Nick, as a faithful follower of Roman dogma, is barred by his presuppositions from accepting the biblical teaching on the nature and efficacy of God's salvation. For example, Rome conflates justification and sanctification and confuses adoption with regeneration. Nick, whom I honestly do respect and like, is obliged to follow suit and be confused, conflated, and confounded as well when it comes to soteriology in general and the ordo salutis (order of salvation) in particular.
Nick regularly reads Roman Catholic doctrine into his interpretations and this may explain his tendency to list large numbers of passages, give a two-sentence opinion on them and then say "see, this proves my point!" Then he quickly moves onto the next passage and repeats the process. Depending on how one counts the passages, in his opening statement Nick listed at least 21 passages in such a manner. Now a person inclined to agree with Nick may think, "well, that just proves how many times the gospels teach us that we can indeed lose the salvation God has given us." But stop for just a minute and reflect that each essay has a 2,000 word limit. How much space does this leave for serious exegesis? Not much, and that is why all Nick can often provide us with is a brief opinion on each verse. Does he assume we just automatically agree with all his mini-commentaries?
Let me provide one demonstration of what I mean from Nick's opener:
Matthew 7:13f. "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." This states that to enter Heaven, one must persevere on the "narrow" and "hard" road. This indicates Salvation is not secured until one perseveres and thus falling away is possible.
"Few go there. Here and there one may be seen - traveling in solitude and singularity. The way to death, on the other hand, is broad. Multitudes are in it. It is the great highway in which people go."The text simply doesn't lean one way or the other when it comes to eternal security because it is speaking about something else. Remember, Nick's opener has 20 more "proof-texts" similar to this one! In his future debates, I humbly suggest that he list less passages and spend more time galvanizing his position by thoroughly exegeting each one. Furthermore, it is not impressive to list 21 passages in favor of one's position unless, well, they are actually in favor of your position! This means it is not enough for a basketball player to attempt a high number of three-pointers, he must actually make some for them to count towards a victory.
The reason I am having trouble in this regard is because I am confused how he can have eternal life not be eternal, especially when believers are said to possess it already it in this life numerous times in the gospels. Instead, it seems as Nick is telling us that Jesus basically says, "Here is a great gift (for some reason called 'eternal life'), now good luck holding onto it and not breaking it up, because once you do, that's it. I'll give you another one if you like but you'll have to try really hard to get it – and keep it, for that matter. Oh, and by the way, there's not a whole lot I can do to help you out, so it's mainly up to you."
I also think John 6:36-40 was never dealt with in a meaningful way: "But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
One big thing I must remind the readers of is Nick's dubious claim about how the present tense in John 6 and related passages proves the Roman Catholic point. Nick essentially tells us that this means John is saying "yes, you can lose your salvation." He brought it up a number times as if it was a knock-down argument and yet you will notice he never really substantiates the claim, rather he simply states it as a matter of fact. Worst of all, the last he brought it up was after I had already dealt with it and he simply ignored what I had written in my response and made the claim again. This is not the way to conduct a profitable debate! If all this was not problematic enough, we have the fact that his idea about the present tense use is simply wrong. What do I mean? Simply that every time John refers to false believers, he differentiates them with the aorist tense. I encourage Nick to go back through John's gospel with a reverse-interlinear that has a parsing code and he will see this most certainly is the case. This tells us John has already included a grammatical cue for his readers when he speaks of false belief and it's the aorist tense, not the present. This fact alone renders Nick's idea moot.
I add this next paragraph as a "side note": during this debate I have cited from a number of scholarly commentaries (I am not saying that makes me "right" but rather I am just stating a fact from our debate). However, there is one more 'commentary' I have not cited: John's. In 1 John 2:19, John wrote this: "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us." This would seem to function as a help in understanding what John meant when he wrote his gospel.
WRAPPING UP W/ODDS and ENDS...
In my rebuttal and cross-ex I wrote on Matthew 7:22-23 and John 10:14 and asked Nick a question about these two passages. I really hope that our readers and yes, Nick himself would go back and re-read Nick's answer to this challenge (Question #5) and honestly weigh if his answer during the cross-examination is a satisfactory response derived from a straight reading of the passage. I humbly submit to you that his answer fails on all counts. Once again, I pray the Lord is holding me back from debate showmanship here – I sincerely desire that the truth be heard and received by God's people and would feel ashamed if my own defects got in the way. With that being said, re-read the question and answer in relation to this passage, I implore you.
God never kicks out his children, so to speak, so I praise God that I have been made eternally secure in the sustaining power of the triune God. Praise God for making his people secure in his strong Hand! Praise God for his eternal security and Praise God for adoption!

I certainly didnât, but sitting beside icons such as Anne Perry and Rebecca Forster in Burbank, California last October, thatâs exactly what happened. Every author is told at some point on their journey, âWrite what you know.â As an author of predominantly military romance and suspense, I create heroines who are feisty and quite attractive. After ten publications, a few best sellers and two other award winners, I sat down at my computer one morning and looked into the darkened screen of my monitor and saw my image reflected back at me.
Iâve lived with a severe case of psoriasis since I was four-years-old. Many times Iâve read posts on social media by young women who think no one could possibly love them because of âPâ. It saddened me to see their heartache. I started to type and âHis Perfect Imperfectionâ was born. A tale of discovery where every woman who lives with our disorder will see themselves in every page. The psychological warfare we put ourselves through when it comes to our skin is endless. Mika, the heroine, has a quick wit, a ready smile and a close group of friends, but when it comes to romance she steers clear, afraid that no man could fall in love with her. Through Mikaâs eyes, readers evolve as she learns love is more than skin deep.
When the host at the Reward of Novel Excellence awards announced âHis Perfect Imperfectionâ as the contemporary romance novel winner of 2016 and the audience roared with applause, I was gobsmacked. But as I walked toward the podium to accept the award, I realized the book held a deeper message for everyone. My husband had been telling me something for years, and finally I understood. We are unique, not flawed. No matter how many scars we endure each time âPâ rises up and we go to battle, the disorder cannot stop us from achieving our milestones or accomplishments in this life.

Can you please tell my how this is possible?
Does one still need to use vista-tool for this?
When i open vista-tool it is wanting the original vista dvd location. I am not needing to insert the drivers into a vista installation,
I only want to creat a stand alone driver cd for vista.
Do i need to only point vista-tool to my directory that contains the drivers??
I don't seem to find any documentation on creating stand alone cd for vista.

Search for DPINST.EXE
We use this for SAD with the Win NT 5.x drivers... Vista has not been done (by us) yet...
I have read the directions for creating a Vista S.A.D. but I am still a bit confused. I apologize if this is a really dumb question, but in the first entry in the S.A.D. FAQ, it mentions using DriverPacks Base to make a S.A.D. Is this just for creating a S.A.D. disc for Windows XP? Or is there also a version if DriverPacks Base for Vista? (Again, I apologize if this is a dumb question.)
Since I couldn't find a DriverPacks Base for WinVista, I read other discussions regarding a S.A.D. for Vista but I am unsure I am doing it correctly.
1. I made a folder to set up my Vista S.A.D., and named it "D".
2. I created a folder in "D" named "DriverPacks"
3. I downloaded all of the 32 bit Vista DriverPacks, and unzipped them, with the option to preserve subfolders, into the /d/DriverPacks/ folder.
4. I took the DPInst.exe and DPInst.xml files (version 2.01) from my DriverPacks Base folder I use to create a WinXP S.A.D. and copied them to /D/
5. I then burned folder /D/ and its subfolders to a blank DVD.
6. To run, I put it into a Vista machine, open the DVD and run DPInst.exe.
Am I doing this correct, or am I missing something?

I am also using vista and really satisfied with its facilities and tools. You can of course easily create a stand alone CD for vista.
A more advanced version of our S.A.D utility is in development here (2nd post): http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4954
I am continuing to improve it's functionality but it's about 95% ready right now. Works with all Windows versions (32 & 64 bit).
I'll try to create a new thread with better instructions over the holidays.

Hello SharePoint Designer users,
I'm Chong Youn (John) Choe, a PM in the SharePoint Designer team. It makes me very happy to post an article on a new issue.
Approval is one of the key applications of workflow. A couple of actions are provided in SharePoint Designer 2013 to receive participant's response. In SharePoint Designer 2013, task forms are auto-generated based upon a certain Content Type, so it is worthwhile to learn how to customize the content type for those who are interested in customizing the task form in your workflows.
Example Scenario
Chris Bryant, a designer of Contoso, wants to have feedback on the new product model design he presented last night. Default Start a Task Process action is only suitable for getting an approval or a rejection response from the participants he selects, as such, he decides to modify the task form to better fit into the need of collecting feedback.
Custom Content Type Creation
First, a custom content type needs to be created in the site. It can be done either the SharePoint server side or SharePoint Designer client side.
For the Server side do the following:
1. Go to Site Content Type page
Go to Site Settings, and select Site Content Types in the Web Designer Galleries section. On the Site Content Types page, choose Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) in List Content Types.

2. Create a site content type which inherits the Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) content type.
Go back to the Site Content Types page and press the Create link. Set its name, description, and then set its Parent Content Type as the Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) content type. Setting the parent content type to the Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) content type is a required step in order to use your new custom content type. Choose or introduce a Content Type Group and press OK.
Figure 3 Set Parent Content Type
3. Add the new Content Type to your Tasks list.
Click on Settings, and then click on the back to site home and go to Site Contents option and then click on your Tasks list.
Figure 4 Tasks button
Choose the List tab in the ribbon, and click List Settings. Scroll down to locate the Content Types section, and press the Add from existing site content types option to add the newly created content type.
Figure 5 Content Types session in List Settings
The same work can be done even easier on SharePoint Designer,
1. Go to the Content Types menu under the Site Objects tab in the Navigation pane. All the Content Types in the site will be displayed. Create a site content type by pressing the Content Type button
Figure 6 Content Types menu in SharePoint Designer
2. Choose the name for your new content type and select a sorting group for it. Make sure that the parent content type is the Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) content type as depicted in figure 7.
Figure 7 Create a Content Type dialog
3. Next, add the content type into your Tasks list, this is required in order to use it in the Task Actions. Go to your Tasks list under List and Libraries under Site Objects in the Navigation tab again. Afterwards, add the newly created content type into the Tasks list.
Figure 8 Content Types Picker on SharePoint Designer
Without adding the content type in the Tasks list, the following run time error will occur.
Figure 9 Run time error
Using either method to creating your Custom Content Type will make it available in the workflow.
The Outcome option column is the column that will hold all of the possible responses each participant can select. Any custom content type created by the above steps will be shown in the Start a Task Process and Assign a Task actions.
Custom Content Type Modification
When adding a Start a Task Process or Assign a Task action, the new Content Type will be displayed in the Task action's designer type.
Once it's confirmed that the Custom Content Type has been created and is usable by the workflow, let's start working on how to customize the form.
A very simple workflow to collect feedback is depicted in figure 10.
Figure 10 Collect Feedback Workflow
Chris, Contoso's designer, wants to receive feedback from an internal expert group hence the form should be modified to store comments from each participant.
1) Go to the Site Settings page, and open Site content types in Web Designer Galleries
2) Click on the Custom Content Type under List Content Types
Figure 11 Contoso Content Type
At this point, the task form's look will be the same as the default task form. Which looks like figure 11.
Many fields in the default form are useless in this scenario. For Chris, the following fields may be modified in the Content type.
|Figure 12 Task Form Contoso Content Type
Let's examine all the fields one by one in figure 11, Contoso Content Type, to decide if they are needed in our task form.
1) Task Name is a Required field
2) Start Date/Due Date maybe meaningful but is not something we have to have in our form
3) Assigned To field is not required in the form since the participants will be editing the form assigned to them already
4) % Complete is pointless since the feedback is normally given all at once
5) The Body field will be used to gather the feedback
6) Predecessors is not needed here
7) Priority has nothing to do with feedback
8) Task Status is a basic field that tracks the status
9) Related Items are not needed in this form
10) Task Outcome is a choice of outcomes, in this case a simple "Submit" option is all that's needed to finish the feedback process.
The column manipulation pages look all alike, an example screenshot is below.
When a field is set to Required, the column needs to be filled in order to close the task form, while Optional columns are displayed but can be left blank. Either taking the Hidden setting or removing the column by the Remove button will hide the column from the task form. For example, in the below screenshot, pressing the Remove button will erase the Assigned To field from the Contoso Content Type.
Figure 13 Change Content Type Column
Chris has gone ahead and modified the Contoso Content Type so that it will be used purely for feedback.
The results are displayed in figure 14. The Related items column is hidden since it cannot be removed.
Figure 14 Contoso Content Type modified
In addition, the Task Outcome site colun is used in the Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) Content Type. It is best to remove the Task Outcome column and create a new site column of Outcome choice type by clicking on Add from a new site column.
Figure 15 Task Form Contoso Content Type modified
When each participant receives a task based on the form above, the review can be written in the description field and the task can be completed by pressing the Submit button. Remaining columns such as Start Date could be hidden, too.
After this, it is also okay to rename the fields as Chris wishes. For instance, in order to change the name of the outcome field Submit, choose the Submit column and press Edit column link in the Site Column information. The column name can be renewed there, as depicted in figure 17. Note that the new name for the column can be non-ascii character based such as "テスト".
Figure 16 Edit Column
Figure 17 Site Column Information
SharePoint 2013 workflows with SharePoint Designer 2013 will generate task forms by analyzing the associated Content Type. Please note that InfoPath is not supported for SharePoint 2013 workflows. Which means that in order to modify the layout users need to directly manipulate the .aspx format.
Despite the modifications explained already, the Save and Cancel buttons cannot be manipulated from SharePoint or SharePoint Designer. What's more, the Task Status and Task Outcome type columns need to exist in a content type in order for the custom outcome buttons to appear. The order of the buttons follow the order of the choice values in the Task Outcome type columns included in the content type. The Task Outcome type columns are defined as Site Columns under Site Settings.
Figure 18 Additional Column Settings example for a Task Outcome type column
Two new actions are introduced in SharePoint 2013 workflows. The task form for the actions are modifiable from SharePoint sites and from the SharePoint Designer client without any developer level knowledge. Create a new Custom Content type that inherits the Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) Content type, add it to your Tasks list, use the new content type in your workflow, and modify the Custom Content type as needed.
Additional customizations of the form are possible by modifying the .aspx format, but that is out of scope for this blog.
I hope with this simple technic presented here to you can enable the workflow scenarios you have.
See you again in the next posting!

FO Friday -- Here Comes the Groom Edition
First, if you're reading this it means I've finally put in the last hours at my terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad job. What a relief. I'm SO excited to start a whole new life in the next couple of weeks, and only a little bit sad about the whole affair.
Next, I finished the Wedding Socks! And I did it in plenty of time to meet that whole Olympic knitting deadline. Awesome. They fit Mr. Right's feet perfectly, and I love the way they turned out:
Not bad, eh? Bonus: Despite more than a year transpiring between sock 1 and sock 2, they're almost exactly the same size. No idea how I managed that, but pretty happy that I did.
More pics to come after the Big Day, promise. My little sock blockers don't quite do a great job of showing off the pattern since boy socks are so. freaking. big.
And... I have another FO this week! Largely because someone else made it. Behold, wedding jam:
These cute little things are our wedding favors. Homemade peach jam, courtesy of my awesome matron of honor, and spectacular jam labels courtesy of my equally awesome art director friend. I'm kind of smitten with them and hope our guests are, too. They still need a ribbon or a bit of twine around the lid, but that should be pretty painless.
Now, just 2 1/2 more puffs to go, and the wedding knitting will be finito. Phew! Then, I just have 11 million and 3 things left to get done before the wedding. Next week. Eep! Okay, I'm exaggerating a little bit. Really, we're in great shape as far as stuff coming together. I know this because I still have time to knit. Baby blanket! Woot!
And now I'm off to wash the dog. Oh, the glamorous life of a bride! But then I'll check out all the cool stuff that's happening at FO Friday and Fiber Arts Friday, because both of them are way more fun than stinky, wet dog.

Lovely socks and jam ... and excited for you about your fresh start :) xReplyDelete
Nice socks! and wedding jam? what a good idea! Good luck with your big day :)ReplyDelete
That jam's a great idea ... much better than those awful sugared almonds :)ReplyDelete
And just look at those handsome socks! Well done!
I think the jam looks great and is a really memorable gift. I love the socks - I'm also amazed at the sizing considering the time lapse between each sock.ReplyDelete
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for you. I hope you have a wonderful week, the happiest of wedding days and everlasting bliss thereafter : )ReplyDelete
Enjoy every moment (and then overwhelm us with pics and stories please!) xxx
PS: The socks are gorgeous
Next week?!!! The time between your engagement announcement and the wedding went by so quickly!!! I really love your favours; I think that's an awesome idea.ReplyDelete
Best to you both for the big day and always. See you online when you're done with the wedding and honeymooning!
Whew. What a week.ReplyDelete
I can tell you that our peach jam is a-maz-ing. We're eating almost a whole jar every day. Your guests are going to LOVE their wedding jam.
Those socks are awesome- I love the understated color of them.ReplyDelete
And those peach jam favors are totally adorable. If your guests don't like them, then they obviously have issues LOL :) Good luck and happy thoughts heading your way as you get ready for the wedding!
that is a great and unique wedding favor..glad that everything is coming together!ReplyDelete
I love the idea of the jam that's packed with love. That is so cute and clever. And much more appetizing than jordan almonds. Seriously, who eats those?ReplyDelete
The socks look so nice. I'm doubly impressed that you got them to be the same size after a year in between!
I love the little jams, how cute! And great socks. Good luck getting everything in order!ReplyDelete
Those socks are beautiful!ReplyDelete
The jam gifts are perfect. That has to be one of the best wedding favors I've seen.

Virtual teams
Developments in communications technologies have seen the emergence of the virtual work team. A virtual team is a group of people who work interdependently and with shared purpose across space, time, and organisation boundaries using technology to communicate and collaborate. Virtual team members can be located across a country or across the world, rarely meet face-to-face, and include members from different cultures.[1] Ale Ebrahim, N., Ahmed, S. & Taha, Z. in their recent (2009) literature review paper, added two key issues to definition of a virtual team "as small temporary groups of geographically, organizationally and/ or time dispersed knowledge workers who coordinate their work predominantly with electronic information and communication technologies in order to accomplish one or more organization tasks".[2] Many virtual teams are cross-functional and emphasis solving customer problems or generating new work processes. The United States Labour Department reported that in 2001, 19 million people worked from home online or from another location, and that by the end of 2002, over 100 million people world-wide would be working outside traditional offices.[3]

So when my husband told me it would be nice to attend at the annual masquerade parade for carnival this year, it was quite a challenge, as carnival in my region is very early. OMG, it's so soon after Christmas! I had to hurry to chose the costumes and order the materials. My daughter, as usual recently, wanted to be a princess or an elf, and as my little son has not yet an opinion of his own (not to mention that he still doesn't talk), I decided to make toadstool costumes for both. For my daughter a kind of toadstool princess, and my son would be a sweet little toadstool boy.
I had no pattern, so I took some inspiration from the internet and created some simple base garments which could be "upgraded" into mushrooms.
I used mainly fleece to make the costumes warm and cozy. First I made an overall for my son with some appliques on the lower part, so it looked like grass growing up his legs. There is even a lucky shamrock on his bottom. Both, the toadstool and the shamrock, are symbols for good luck in my country, and my son's name is Irish, so it's perfect. The overall was large enough to wear several layers of underwear, as temperatures are still very cold here, and we even had some snowfalls during the night.
My daughter absolutely wanted a skirt. She's very girly currently, and she likes ballet, so I decided to make her a tutu. I cut strips of white and red tulle and knotted them on an elastic band. It looked really poofy in the end, and she was totally in love with her new skirt from the first moment on...
The biggest challenge was the hats. My son's hat had to be smaller, so it would not disturb him while sitting in the pram, but her's should be large to keep the proportions of a real mushroom. I didn't use a finished polka dot fleece, as I wanted to look the pattern more natural and irregular, so I had to cut lots of white "dots" and sew them on the red fabric. After stuffing my daughter's hat, I tried it myself on and realised it was too heavy. My husband had a brilliant idea, and we used an inflatable swimming ring as stuffing.
The parade should be held on Sunday shortly after midday, but on Saturday afternoon I realised I had forgotten two important things: the crown for the princess and the bags for the confetti. For the bags I used a red fleece with withe polka-dots which I sew to a base of very thick crafting felt. I cut the crown from the same material in yellow to create a crown. I added a velcro closure, so the crown could be stored flat while not in use. As I am a very crafty person, I also had some nice rhinestones in different shapes and colours at home which I sewed on the crown.
We had a lot of fun during the parade and afterwards at the children's carnival party. There was even a contest for the best costume, and my children won the first place, but unfortunately we had left earlier as the little ones were too tired, so we didn't win the award.

Hiya Matthew
Firstly, I must say, what a wonderful website! It's so informative. The best I've seen in a long time....well done.
Secondly, I was very saddened when I read your story Matthew. It is outrageous the way you have been treated.....the education authority/government are definately failing in a major way here. Every child has the right to an education AT school....this angers me greatly! I'm pleased to hear your life is much more bearable now Matthew & at last you are happy.
Right,.....so where do I start.....I'll try my best to put it in nutshell.
Our son Deryn, (aged 7) was diagnosed 6 months ago with mild Dyspraxia & (what they call) other developmental immaturies! We arrived at the diagnosis, after lenghty meetings with a child psychiatrist & finally a paediatric neurologist. Now I know this will sound awful, but, we were so pleased......that at last somebody had sat up & taken notice of us.
He has been having problems at school since the day he started......so with this diagnosis in hand, we yet again went back to the school & the educational psychologist & demanded help! Unfortunately to no avail. He has been turned down for a 'statement'.....reason being, he is not bad enough! He has great difficulty with reading & writing, so prefers not to bother with it & at school he does the same. The school give him 3, 15 minute sessions a week, on a one to one basis.
They say he is unwilling rather than unable!
He is of course a very intelligent young man & very manipulative.....but we do love him so much....we just want to be able to help him as much as we can, but we come to dead ends, whatever we try.
We have been in touch with an organization called parent partnership. Although they were very helpful initially.....that avenue has now been exhausted.
I would be very grateful if you could offer us any advice on where to go next.
Thank you
Julia (Deryn's mum)

Photo by Megan ReardonMother's Day is fast approaching and while I'd prefer a week-long trip to Mexico, I can't stop admiring this handmade corsage from Holidash (found via Not Martha).
If you'd like to make a felt flower corsage for yourself or for your favorite mom, here's what you'll need: Scissors, fabric adhesive, craft felt (the color of your choice!), needle and thread, a brooch pin, and a bit of cardboard.
Megan, the brains behind this lovely corsage, walks you through the craft, step by step, with pictures too! Definitely check out the link above if you're looking for a nice touch for Mother's Day.

|Workers at the factory. They get paid about 40 dollars a month,
according to the head of the factory. That's a low wage,
even by Malagasy standards. Our nanny gets paid about 125
dollars per month.
A couple of years back when we were living in Antananarivo, Madagascar, I had the opportunity to visit a local factory where name brand children's jeans were manufactured for export to Europe.
Let me just say that I have always been a big supporter of free trade and free movement of capital. While some people might complain about the loss of manufacturing jobs in developed countries to China, India, Bangladesh, or Madagascar, my reply has always been, "More power to the Chinese, the Indians, the Bangladeshis, and the Malagasy!". I'm happy for them to have jobs and opportunities.
It is therefore with a bit of sadness that I am revealing these photos.
|Children's jeans ready for export
As I toured the factory and saw the hundreds or workers labouring over fabrics and machines, I thought to myself, well, at least this factory gives them a job. Many people in Madagascar live in abject poverty and have no employment at all.
"And can I assume the employees get to make a living wage here, unlike so many in this country?" I said out loud to the factory manager showing me around.
"Mais NON ! They earn 80 US dollars a month."
80 US dollars a month would allow you to live in Tananarive, but not very well. You would definitely need other income earners in the family.
So there you have it. The next time you buy jeans for your kids, let your mind travel to the factory where those jeans were made. I would never suggest boycotting jean purchases, but I definitely don't buy stone-wash or acid wash jeans now.

Having to get rid of a few things and move into a smaller place. Paid $80 for this, first $40 who can come get it takes it.
I also have everything a person needs to start making their own holsters (kydex) as well. Sander, reciprocating table saw, press, heat gun, and rivet punch etc. Let me know if you are interested in that as well.
