I have been trying to improve my graphic representation of my art for quite some time. I keep improving my tools, and it has helped but I am still frustrated. I know that all monitors are not all created equal and each person's setting are all different and screens are LCD, LED, CRT, refresh rates, resolution, type of cables…? So much more.
I have great camera, laptop and other monitors. I have used the calibrating menu on each monitor, laptop. Checked on the 3 monitors I have, kids' laptops, mac laptop, ipads…all differ. Can't seem to get a happy medium across all or many of the monitors.
I thought a shortcut would work and since I have Carol Marine's books, and have asked her if her art came out in the right colors on them, and compared her online book image with the book in my hand…got the online pic to look just like the book in my hand-I was golden. Maybe. But then I ordered an item from Cafe Press with my art on it Cafe Press . On my screen image looks like the art, what I received Cafe Press Tumbler with the art on it, it was darker and tinted yellow/red. That's whan I said AAAARRGGG!! I have heard that Cafe Press does have good quality and color. It must be my set up.
All of this translates to my questions: what does everyone else see on their monitor when viewing my art?
Wouldn't I have better sales if my images were (near) perfect?
I have not invested in $300 software. Is that my next step? I am about to purchase Datacolor Spyder4Express S4X100 Display Calibration Device for about $100. Is this what I need?
Thanks for the help guys! I was ranting to hubby and he said, can't you ask your online friends/community for advice? I said, oh, yes I can!
From what I know (which tech-wise ISN'T MUCH), Apple/ Mac is the gold standard in monitors. My iPad fairly closely matches my Nikon display, so I pretty much rely on it for accurate color rendition. On my iPad, your images look pretty good–though of course I have no idea how well they match the originals.
So far, no buyers have complained about my online images not matching my originals. To get those images, I use an Epson 1660 Photo scanner I have had for a decade. Smaller pieces fit; I scan larger pieces in sections and piece them together in my (also old) Corel program. For color matching, the old scanner far exceeds anything I get with my digital camera. The scanner used to match my Dell CRT monitor perfectly, but that has darkened over time, and I have to adjust scans accordingly. I dread the day, fast approaching, when I have to replace all my equipment. For calibration, I have heard Spyder is the way to go.
That said, (fabulous) illustrator and former classmate Robert Hunt provides very thorough instructions on how to professionally photograph art to reproduction standards. Someday I will do it this way (maybe.) http://www.drawger.com/roberthunt/?article_id=14813
Thank you Connie, I will go check out those instructions!
Thanks for posting this, Connie! Yes, I have a Mac desktop, and I can get my photos to look like my art, using my Canon camera and iPhoto editing program. But I notice the art looks differently on the iphone and iPad. I sent off some of my art to make postcards through Moo.com, and they too, turned out very yellow/red, nothing like the real thing. I would love to get prints done of my artwork, but I am floundering on that… wondering where to get them done that it will be an accurate representation of my art.
My buyers say that the paintings look so much better in real life…so, monitors behave so differently, it is hard to know what they are seeing. But I am happy they love the art when it arrives.
I will check out the link you posted…thank you!
Shifts can happen when a file is converted from RGB to CMYK for printing and when a printer's color profiles do not match your computer's. For expensive printing, work with a printer who will provide a proof.
Hi Sunny, I can offer no help with the photography or tech questions but I thought I'd let you know about another cost effective option which I prefer because I don't want to deal with all that stuff, I would rather be painting!
I have my art digitally scanned by a family owned business, RT Art in Orlando, FL. They scan your art, which captures all details, and color match for a charge of $10 square foot (12" x 12" =$10)…no minimum, no set up fees. They will provide a proof for your approval, but I skip that step because they've always got everything spot on for me. Distance doesn't matter, I ship everything to them and they ship my orders back to me within 10-14 days normally. They give you the digital copy to keep and they retain one for future orders. The majority of images I have on Daily paintworks are their handiwork:
http://www.dailypaintworks.com/artists/wendi-vann-johnson-5928/artwork Paper prints and canvas giclees are excellent quality and actually wholesale priced, a 16 x 20 is $7.50 or a couple bucks more for complete packaging, ready to sell. Here's their contact info ( send them an email and they'll send you a wholesale price list) RT Art (321) 209-5528 email@example.com.
Hi Sunny, I downloaded a photo from your blog and opened it in photoshop. I noticed that doesn't have a color profile embedded in it. This could be the cause of the color inaccuracy when you have your images printed.
The default color profile that digital cameras use is the sRGB profile and that's what most photo labs/printers are expecting. When you adjust your photos make sure the option to embed the profile is checked.
The photo that was missing the profile was:
Midnight Snack (PB&J #31)
I hope this helps!
Incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much @wvannjohnson! I am going to give it a try and I'll be sure to say you sent me.
I will try this as well, thank you so much for taking the time! Very nice. @breier
I did check a few and the options for color profiles were clicked and embedded. The problem I think is what I see on MY screen not being what is correct? Perhaps, the printing and file were right but not my monitor.
If that issue were fixed, I could be sure I am showing the proper image.
You're welcome @savocado! They are wonderful people to deal with and very helpful! Forgot to mention this, RT Art will also drop ship your orders directly to your buyers for you.
I was JUST reading that! I never would have tried them out (previous disappointments) except for another artist good experience. Thanks again!
The first two paintings that I checked were missing profiles so somewhere during the editing process the color profile is being discarded. I also noticed that you are using two versions of the sRGB profile:
sRGB IEC61966-2.1
sRGB IEC61966-2-1 black
In the screenshot below the two on the left with the red X's are the ones missing the profiles, the painting of the avocado is correct, and the last one has the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 black profile.
This may not be the problem but if the file doesn't contain a color profile then it's not being color managed.
Anyways, Apple has a monitor calibration feature in the system preferences. I would use the expert mode, there's a checkbox on the introduction screen. Apple has basic instructions on their site:
Are you sure the problem isn't with the printer? Have you sent the same file to another company?
Hello Sunny,
The problem in calibration is that nobody use the same calibration. So when you are working in graphic design, you try to have a calibration chain : every item use the same calibration profile, from monitors to final professionnal press printers.
Your problem here is that people will look at your painting via their monitor : mostly without calibration, or poor ones (real calibration is costly : real calibrable monitors are over 1000,00 $ and you need to buy the software/calibration tools too). So your paintings will look more green on a monitor and more yellow or red on another… and you can do nothing about that fact : the quality of your picture depends essentially upon the quality of the calibration process of the final viewer.
For the prints, it could be better because giclee or offset printers are calibrated. But, the color visual specter is very different from a monitor. Especially in offset printing, the color range is very poor : for example you cannot reproduce fresh oranges or greens : the adding process of CMYK is very limiting. In giclee prints, printers generally use a lot more pigments (around 10 colors) to have more color range and more subtlety in the rendered tones. Every person who can compare printed books with real paints will see a huge difference… if they can see the two at the same time. And I am sure that Carol Marine (you said that they colors are the same on printed books) will agree with me that the colors are different on every paint where she used very vivid colors (blue, orange, green).
The third bad fact is the limitation of your digital camera too… the dynamic color range is quite poor and you cannot have detailed blacks and detailes high keys in the same photo shoot : you have to make a choice (or your camera do it for you) and rely on Photoshop to have a more reliable picture (HDR could improve things a bit, but it's quite complicated).
So, you can try your best, but, you can be pretty sure that your painting, who is shoot using a digital camera, then processed on your computer, and then finally displayed using a third way (monitor or print) have 100% chance to have been subject to color modifications…
Sorry but IMHO, your problem as no solution.
Thank you, I will go and change them. I have not tried another company, that's a good idea!
This a very interesting topic. I love to paint but preparing images for display on the internet drives me CRAAAAZZZZYYY. As a retired scientist, Thierry's statement that there is no solution to the problem is like waving a red cape in front of my nose. There must be a way to at least for those of us that care about these things to improve on the current situation short of buying everyone in the world a colorimeter. I would be partially satisfied if I could know that images going out my door were reasonably accurate. I would be even more satisfied if on leaving my paintworks gallery the images were accurate. I have never felt that images changed going through paintworks but I guess its possible.
Here are some potential ingredients to a solution. First the community of artists, compared to the general public, is keenly aware and highly trained in recognizing small differences in value, hue and saturation. i.e. we can tell when something is slightly off. We should be able to use this in some kind of cloud-based calibration of artists equipment. Second none of us has a lot of money to spare so a solution has to come down on the side of cheap rather than sophisticated.
I understand that the proper solution is to get a colorimeter for your monitor and an IT-8 target (colour chart). But everyone has to have these an that is not going to happen.
What if we all went down to Home Depot and picked up colour swatches from say Sherman Williams and scanned or photographed them. Then we could sample the RGB values from the middle of the swatch on our monitor. I wonder if differences between the paint company's RGB values and ours would tell something about calibration. I do not know whether Sherwin Williams sells in Europe. Here is their chart of RGB values
thinking way outside the box
Great topic.
The good thing is that when people first see your painting on their monitor, and they are impressed to such an extend that they decide to buy it, its more likely that they are pleasantly surprized with how it looks in real life, than that they are disappointed (though not guaranteed). At that point they get to see the brushwork better, the texture, the effect of light on the painting, etc. Things that are usually less obvious on a photograph of a painting.
It's a similar effect you get when you go to a museum to see a certain exhibition, then buy the catalogue. The pictures in the book seem flat and unimpressive to us because we just saw the real paintings. Collectors that buy online have the advantage of not having seen it in real life yet.
I am continuing this thread, bcuz it seems others may benefit to the group wisdom as they have same issue.
I did buy the Spyder, and calibrated my monitor.
After photographing image, correcting in photoshop using spyder workspace, to have image printed- I would embed the spyder profile, yes? I am going to try the RT printer that @wvannjohnson suggested.
But embedding the profile has nothing to do with how the image is viewed online, correct? After correcting my monitor with spyder, all my art previously posted looks washed out and yellowy to me. I adjusted this one image to look right to me.

Hello garyw
In fact you can have a really accurate reproduction of your art in YOUR monitor, but others will see it differrently on THEIR monitor.
One of the best 1st thing to really improve your color accuracy is to buy a gray chart (quite inexpensive, around 15-20$ in France) and put it near your art work on the photo shoot (like in my sample). Then a simple click with Photoshop with the "pipette" (eyedropper?) on this gray chart will adjust the balance : Photoshop will remove any false coloration and retrieve the exact neutral color of the gray chart and then apply it to the whole picture : this is the very most important thing to do when planning to have accurate colors.
I hope it's of any help.
I can tell the difference in these two images when I compare them side by side. But I still love them both and am drawn to the painting regardless of the subtle variations in color. I'll bet the original is fantastic!

I've been pondering how I can better love those around me. I have friends with all sorts of mental, physical, emotional, and religious challenges. From depression to anxiety to eating disorders, fibromyalgia, homosexuality, autism, substance addiction, to pornography addiction.
These things–especially depending on how often my friends mention or focus on it–often become the basis for how I perceive them.
"Jeff is a really good guy, even though he's addicted to pornography."
"Amy is super-productive for someone with depression."
"Emily is really cool for a lesbian."
"Alfred is the best divorced guy I know."
And perceiving them this way is wrong.
Heavenly Father loves each of us because of who we are, not what challenges us. When we consider the eternal perspective, we must realize that what people many struggle with the most are not eternal aspects of their character.
The fact I spent the last six months incredibly depressed are not an eternal aspect of who I am. However, it taught me critical lessons about myself and empathizing with others and impacts my return to Father's waiting arms.
My friends may experience pain and trials. They may be depressed, divorced, missing limbs, chemically imbalanced, same-sex attracted, or all of those.
They are children of a Loving God. They may or may not accept that fact. But I can. I can love them for who they are. I can love them for their eternal characteristics–characteristics that may be strengthened by their challenges.
So the way I perceive them, the way I love them must be informed that these trials are temporary. After mortality ends, none of these things will be challenges they face. Anxiety, depression, amputation, same-sex attraction, divorce, eating disorders, addiction, and so many other things won't affect us any more.
Those then won't be the things that define my perceptions of my friends. Nor should they be now. If I can change my above perceptions to:
"Jeff is a really good guy."
"Amy is quite productive."
"Emily is really cool."
"Alfred is one of the best guys I know."
Then I show the love Father does and I focus on their whole worth as God intended.
The people I meet are not defined only by their most obvious characteristic(s). Those characteristics and experiences might end up making them better people, but they are temporary. They will not last beyond mortality. And if I do not recognize that, I do myself and them a disservice.

Ansys mesher problem with multiple reference frame problem -cannot set as interior BC
Hi everyone,
I am trying to do a multiple reference frame calculation in FLUENT. For this i have two volumes with one inside the other with a common surface(interface) . As per the tutorials for fluent, i have to set this surface as an interior surface. But no matter how i name or whatever i do in mesher, this shows up as two different surfaces occupying the same space - and set as walls. I am not able to change this in to an interior surface as described in the tutorial.
I got the two volumes by naming then separately as named spaces in mesher.
Any help that you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Actually they should be two different faces, as they will be the interface between your rotating and stationary domains. So what you have to do is create an interface in FLUENT that connects this two surfaces.

Beijing, June 22: He had just boarded the plane for Beijing and smiling, came up to greet the accompanying journalists when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was reminded of the bitter end to his first visit to China as external affairs minister in 1979. He simply laughed it away.
In 1979, though, it was no laughing matter. Even as he had come here to initiate Indias first serious attempt at engaging China since the 1962 conflict between the two countries, Vajpayee was taken aback by Chinas invasion of Vietnam in the midst of his negotiations with the Chinese leaders. He broke off the talks, cut short the trip and returned to New Delhi, bitterly disappointed with the Chinese intransigence.
Today was a different journey for him. Cheerful and obviously in better health than some months ago, the Prime Minister was hopeful of, if not a great leap forward, but a definitive forward movement in Indias relations with China.
But gloom of another kind accompanied him here even this evening. After bright weather for the last few days, Beijing skies were covered in thick, rolling clouds and occasional showers. Before the plane landed here, the turbulence shook the passengers badly. Is it going to be a turbulent visit' quipped a journalist.
After the turbulence, a scare. Passengers on Air-India One are used to champagne and caviar, delicious meals, other good things and exceptional care by the staff. But today, as they were taking leave of the staff after reaching Beijing, each of them had a gift they could not have liked a small cloth SARS mask.
But that, for some of the Prime Ministers team, symbolised his brave new China initiative. He has come to try and revive the days of Hindi-Chini bhai bhai in the time of SARS.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (WPRI) – Rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start today's game against the Buffalo Bills, according to ESPN.
Brissett started in place of the injured Jimmy Garoppolo in the Patriots' September 22 shutout win against the Houston Texans but injured the thumb on his right hand and had been listed as questionable for today's game. He was 11 of 19 for 103 passing yards against the Texans, and added a touchdown run of his own.
Garoppolo suffered a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder after a hit the previous week and has been out since then.
Tom Brady will serve the final game of his four-game suspension Sunday and will return to the active roster on Monday.
Meanwhile, with both backups hurt, receiver Julian Edelman is expected to again stand in as the emergency backup.

Top 9 Poodle Care Tips

If you already have a Poodle, no doubt you already know how much time and effort must go into caring for your canine family member; however, it's easy to get used to a particular routine and doing this can cause owners to overlook a few care elements or let just a bit too much time pass in between.
In addition, for some care related tasks, owners can be unsure about how often these should be done or the best way to go about doing them.
And for anyone who is thinking about bringing a Poodle into their home, it's always a good idea to understand the scope of the responsibility and plan for it.
For these reasons, this section will cover the 9 most important care tips for a Poodle of any age.
Care Tip #1: Offer a high-quality food
Feeding your Poodle the right food affects him both now and long-term. Far too many commercial brands are subpar; they may have chemicals such as artificial colorings, flavoring and preservatives which can cause everything from itchy skin to upset stomach.
Many also have fillers which are zero calorie elements that only serve to plump up food (making it appear as if there is more than is actually there); these are not absorbed by the body and simply get flushed out. These are responsible for making a dog hungry soon after he ate and for lack of nourishment despite eating.
The other culprit is by-products which are ingredients deemed unfit for human consumption, but are perfectly legal to put into dog food; this includes beaks, feathers, stomach lining and other things that you wouldn't want your Poodle to be eating.
Issues that may get in the way:
It's easy to fall into the trap of feeding what you 'always have', choosing a familiar sounding brand at the store or offering what seems to be popular. However, you may be inadvertently feeding a 1, 2, or 3 star rated food.
What to do:
It's recommended to offer a 5-star food and at the least, 4 star, which means that it will not contain the above mentioned elements and will offer a healthy, balanced diet. Our top pick is Orijen; it is clearly one of the best.
If you are not sure what rating your Poodle's food has, you can find out at
Care Tip #2: Choose healthy snacks as well
Most dogs will receive a portion of their nutrition via snacks; depending on the Poodle, this can vary from 10 to 25% of his daily intake. So, choosing the right treats is vital as well.
Many manufactured treats contain harmful chemicals that can cause
including itching, some such as raw hides pose risks including choking and internal blockage and others offer nothing of value to the body.
Issues that may get in the way:
The makers of treats know what to do to sell; they offer tempting sounding tidbits with cheerful colors in fun shapes. And in many cases, a Poodle may gobble these right up, which leads owners to assume that all is well, when in fact the snack is detrimental.
What to do:
Find the right balance of both wholesome foods: raw carrots, blueberries & raspberries (many Poodle love these frozen), banana slices, strawberries, apple slices (no core or seeds) and commercial treats.
With those that you purchase, look for ones only made in the USA (or North America, as Canada-sourced treats also have a good reputation), and choose those that only have natural coloring and preservatives.
Care Tip #3: Assess the Water that Your Poodle Drinks.
There 2 elements to be aware of here: How much your Poodle is taking in and the quality of the water.
Inadequate intake
- Many dogs have trouble self-regulating and simply do not drink enough. Even a 3% drop in body water levels can cause slight dehydration that results in loss of focus, headaches and/or agitation.
Though much depends on a dog's activity level, age, health status and the weather, in general a dog needs a minimum of 8 oz. (1 cup) for each 10 pounds of body weight. This can double during
the summer
if the dog is very active outside.
For example, a 5 lb. toy Poodle needs at least 4 oz. (1/2 cup) per day, and up to (8 oz.) 1 cup in the summer.
A 15 lb. miniature Poodle needs at least (12 oz.) 1.5 cups per day, and up to (24 oz.) 3 cups in the summer.
A 60 lb. standard Poodle needs at least (48 oz.) 6 cups per day, and up to (96 oz.) 12 cups in the summer.

The other issue is the quality of the water
and if you are giving your Poodle tap water, you'll want to reconsider. Tap water in 42 states contains 141 unregulated chemicals. Even in regard to
the chemicals in tap water which are known
, many are known to be dangerous. Agents in water have been shown to lead to everything from thyroid issues to kidney disease to cancer.
Why is this allowed?
Some toxins are deemed safe only for healthy adults (so not for children and certainly not for small pets), others are 'safe' based on 1 serving and overall more testing and stricter regulation needs to be done.
Since our dogs drink water and only water, every single day for their entire life, this is quite a problem.
Issues that may get in the way:
In regard to intake, many owners assume that their Poodle will self-regulate. In regard to offering unfiltered water, essentially, many owners do not know the risks of tap water and for those that do, they are unsure what to do.
What to do:
For intake, encourage your Poodle to drink by leading him to the water dish. Many dogs drink much more when given a canine water fountain; the noise and the motion attracts them to it. Bring along water whenever you go for a walk, taking a break at the halfway point to rehydrate. Keep the dish clean and refill it (not just top it off) regularly to keep it clean from food bits and nice and cool.
For safety, you may want to look into having a filter attachment to your kitchen tap. Some, like the PUR Advanced Faucet Filter, is certified to remove over 70 contaminants, including 99% of lead, 92% of pesticides and 96% of mercury.
Care Tip #4: Choose The Right Bowl
The type of bowl you choose for your Poodle is important for several reasons.
Steer clear of plastic bowls; even those that are BPA free can cause a wide range of problems. Plastic bowls can cause a dog's nose to become discolored, can cause allergic reactions, these nick and scratch easily which can cause them to harbor bacteria and most are lightweight which causes them to slip around as a dog is trying to eat or drink.
Stainless steel bowls are best, and ceramic is a second option, though these can crack or break.
Toy Poodles can do well with both floor or raised bowls and depending on the height, will eat more heartedly.
However, both mini Poodles and standard Poodles should only have floor level dishes. This is vital because
Poodles are prone to bloat
(mini Poodles are ranked #25 for risk, 3 times more likely than mixed breeds) and standard Poodles are ranked #6 for risk; 8.8 times more likely than mixed breeds) and raised bowls increases the risk of this sometimes fatal condition.
You'll want a bowl that is of appropriate size for your Poodle, in both diameter and depth, to offer a dish that makes eating easy for your puppy or dog.
Measured intake
– With mini and standard Poodles, another risk for bloat is fast ingestion of food or water. Therefore, if your Poodle tends to eat and/or drink quickly, you'll want to have a slow-feeder dish or place a portion pacer inside his bowl.

Care Tip #5: Safety
Many injuries and health emergencies can be avoided by routinely following care guidelines for safety. Of top concern is ingesting non-food objects (choking, internal blockage, poisoning) and injury via falls or being tripped over.
Why this may not be done
: Owners may do this task when first bringing home a new puppy, but then phase out of this, assuming that the dog has learned. It is important to note that most dogs to not mouth objects with the intention of ingesting them. They mouth things to find out what they are, to chew them or simply out of boredom.
In regard to injury, you may be surprised to learn that based on
a 20-year study by the University of Georgia
the top leading cause of death for puppies (all breeds) is trauma.
And for adults Poodles, trauma is the 3rd leading cause of death for both standard and miniature Poodles (10.1% and 10.8%, respectively) and the 2nd leading cause of death for toys (11.7%).
Yet, so much of this can be avoided.
What to do:
Puppy-proof the house, regularly, no matter how old your Poodle is. Always be on the lookout for items that may have fallen to the floor, check right under furniture (where a dog's paw could swipe something out) and use cord concealer for any electrical cords that may be accessible.
Use gates to block off any steps or other areas that may be dangerous. This is particularly relevant with puppies and with older,
senior Poodles
that may have trouble navigating around the house.
Use child-proof locks on lower cabinets. There are cases of dogs getting into cabinets and chewing on/ingesting everything from feminine hygiene products to Band-Aids.
Never let your Poodle off leash, unless you are in an area such as an enclosed yard under supervision, a gated dog park or other area in which you are sure that there is no chance that your Poodle can run off.
Part of 'death by trauma' involves injuries received as a passenger in the car; we address this next.
Care Tip #6: Keep Your Poodle Safe When in the Car
As we touched on above, trauma is a serious issue to be aware of. Keeping your Poodle properly seated when in the car is vital.
Car accidents happen
more than you may think. In the U.S., there are over 100 deaths PER DAY from car accidents. This is over 37,000 per year. And in regard to injuries, 2.35 million people are injured each year. Globally, there are 3,287 PER DAY.
Dogs are not being kept safe; A joint
study by AAA and Kurgo Pet Products
found that 52% of pet owner drivers routinely have their pet with them in the car, but only 16% used a proper safety restraint.
How dangerous can it be if you don't follow this care tip? Here's some examples of crash force:
Crashing at 20 MPH, an unrestrained 10 lb. dog will suffer a 200 lb. crash force.
At 40 MPH, an unrestrained 30 lb. dog will suffer a 1,200 lb. crash force.
At 50 MPH, an unrestrained 40 lb. dog will suffer a 2,000 lb. crash force.
What to do:
Make sure that every time your Poodle is a passenger in your car, you have him properly restrained.
Toy Poodle and many miniature Poodles
do best (and are safest) when in a booster canine car seat. Small dogs do best with booster seats, as these work well to keep them safe, and also allow them line-of-sight which can cut down on motion sickness and general restlessness.
Adult Standard Poodles
, will need a car safety belt. You may wish to opt for a 'direct to tether' accessory which connects from your Poodle's harness to your car's seat belt. These are very easy to use and you can leave the attachment clicked in, so that it only takes 3 seconds to secure this. Another option is a harness & connector all-in-one, which is both the harness and the short belt that connects that to the car's seat belt.
Care Tip #7: Proper Exercise
Making sure that your Poodle receives enough exercise is vital to overall good health and is a step that can help increase
life span
, exercise keeps the heart healthy, works to maintain muscle tone and can reduce the risk of developing several diseases including canine diabetes and even some cancers.
, exercise helps a dog release pent-up energy and often leads to better behavior.
, bringing a dog outside helps him to learn tolerance of outdoor elements, which leads to being better socialized and accepting of triggers such as other dogs, children and such things as traffic.
Poodles, of all varieties, should ideally have two walks per day, lasting from 20 to 30 minutes.
Issues that may get in the way:
It's easy to assume that a small dog that stays busy inside does not need long walks; however, moving about in the house is not the same as purposeful walking. In addition, for all sized Poodles, time and weather play a role in how often owners follow through with walking their dogs.

What to do:
an exercise schedule for your Poodle
and stick with it, having it be one of your top priorities. This may involve waking up a bit earlier and/or delegating tasks to other family members. Prepare for less-than-ideal weather by having some
key clothing pieces for your Poodle
such as a warm vest or sweater on cold days.
In the winter and summer, protect your dog's paws with a quality paw wax. In the winter, this will help prevent snowballing (tiny ice or snow pebbles that get wedged between toes or paw pads, causing discomfort), adds traction, and adds a layer of protection from sand, salt, ice melt chemicals and freezing surfaces. In the summer, a good wax will help protect from sizzling hot pavement and help the paws retain proper moisture.

Care Tip #8: Annual Vet Visits
Wellness checks are an important part of care. Just like humans should have annual health exams, so should our pets. For senior Poodles, twice-per-year geriatric check-ups are needed.
There is a vast array of health issues that when caught early are exceedingly easier and less costly to treat.
The vet will perform a complete examination of the body, listen to the heart and lungs and screening will be done (urinalysis, stool sample, blood tests) to rule out common issues that do occur with dogs.
These are all important aspects of a checkup that can find issues before a dog is so ill that clinical signs are obvious.
Issues that may get in the way:
The two main reasons that owners skip this are cost and denial.
What to do:
Just as you budget for other 'must haves', so should you for this. The average cost of the initial exam is between $50 to $70. Testing may run between $100 and $200.
With the high end of this estimate being $270, you may want to round up to $300. When broken down, this equals $25 a month. You may want to consider trying to save double this, putting away $50 a month, to cover unexpected treatments, including medication.
Care Tip #9: Dental Hygiene
Poodles tend to have tooth problems; this ranges from decay to tooth loss, so making a concerted effort to
care for your Poodle's teeth
goes a long way both his overall health and his quality of life.
Just like humans, plaque is constantly being formed. Without removal, this hardens on the teeth (tartar) and travels under the gum line.
It often leads to decay, gingivitis, infection (which not only can be exceedingly painful for a dog, but also can travel up into the sinuses or even to vital organs) and eventual tooth loss which can cause major problems for older dogs.
Far too many owners assume that a dog does not need any care given to his teeth and that chewing on toys is enough. It's not. Implementing at-home and professional dental care can add years to a dog's life.
What to do:
There are 3 main steps to take:
1. Brush your Poodle's teeth.
Once per day is recommended, for at least 3 minutes. Use a quality canine toothbrush and canine toothpaste.
2. Give your Poodle quality canine dental treats.
We highly recommend Greenies; these are the top vet-recommended dental treat, are well received by most dogs, help remove both plaque and tartar and will help maintain both healthier gums and teeth. In addition, a nice added bonus is that they freshen a dog's breath.
Owner's Poll: Is there a care element you want to improve on?
3. Professional cleanings are important as well.
During your Poodle's annual wellness check, the vet will inspect the teeth, looking for signs of decay and assess any buildup. X-rays may be taken and any outstanding issues should be treated ASAP.
A Final Word
In today's busy world, it's easy to assume that your dog is doing just fine and no changes need to be made in regard to care. However, lots of issues can be bubbling right under the surface. By following these care tips, you can know that you're providing the best care possible and you'll be helping to ensure that your Poodle will as healthy and safe as possible.

Salovey & Mayer's ability-based model of emotional intelligence
Four branches of emotional intelligence
1. Emotional perception and expression
2. Emotional facilitation of thought (using emotional intelligence)
3. Emotional understanding
4. Emotional management
1. Flexible planning
2. Creative thinking
3. Redirected attention
4. Motivation
Emotional growth
Painful emotions are a crucial component of one's personal growth.
It is important to utilize emotions rather than work against them.
The Mayer-Savoley-Caruso Emotional test
5000 participants aged 17 and over.
Tests involved;
Perceiving emotion
Emotional facilitation
Understanding emotions
Managing emotions
Strengths & Weakness
What is emotional intelligence?
Salovey and Mayer defined emotional intelligence as; 'The subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions.'
New aspect of intelligence that demonstrates how emotional intelligence is key to success
People may be have innate emotional intelligence but yet be emotionally damaged.

Here is a brief summary of my book. :)
This is taken from thousands upon thousands of query letter drafts. Sigh. Queries are challenging. Understatement of the year.
I, Candace Marshall, detest, abhor, loathe–you get the idea–scary movies, especially if they include zombies.
So you can imagine how thrilled I was when my boyfriend surprised me with advanced screening tickets to the latest horror zombie flick, teeming with the movie industry's hottest interactive features.
I was not the only one to walk out of the theater that day. Gavin Bailey–only the world's greatest actor (in my opinion), present as a favor to a filmmaking friend–followed me, although I'm certain we had completely different reasons for leaving. Zombies jumping out at me as part of the "zombie movie experience" was not my idea of a good time. But I think we can both agree that we were thankful we left.
An experimental drug, created to enhance the viewer's perspective of the film, turned my sleepy town into a slathering mess of real, honest-to-goodness, live–er, I mean, dead–zombies.
Days turned into weeks, and I had to face my biggest fear, over and over again. As in, face-to-face. Not fun.
We teamed up with a small group of survivors and traveled in search of answers and, ultimately, a cure.
Gavin Bailey's presence of mind and sacrificial actions quite nearly swept me off my feet, until he showed me he returned my secret feelings. Then he definitely swept me off my feet.
This is my story–how I got the biggest surprise of my life, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than zombies.
Ta-dah! There you have it, folks! I know I can't do a query in first person, like the book is written, but, hey, this is my blog, and I can do what I want! lol.
Happy reading! (In whatever book you are reading, if you are reading a book, that is…shout-out to Brian Regan. Take luck!)
In Him,

August, 2017 Discovery/deductions in the Image:
Ava Braun: a heroine of time?
Image at top of this post:
Some time yesterday I realized that the branches of my neighbor's tree were within my one time image, publicly posted request for communication from the "physical team," as was successful that afternoon, very apparent as consistent with matching space and time locations with the summer image used as both the banner and in promotions of my discovery, and those words on the photo of Tuvok and I were the original blogger allowed character restricted header text as introduction to Time Travel Wish. Matched as significant to the project images:
4/21/2017: New page: Identity of Myself as the Target as related to the Image: will build.2/13/2017: Weblog could use to e-dynamite.
2/24/2107 21:05 The 2 images directly below describe where this experiment has gone to. Now that almost 27 months has passed since 11/25/2014 when unknown to me at the time I had been successful before the experiment was created:
Some images that both promote and display some of (hopefully) the last discoveries needed for completed validation of success - for them:
1998: Simple was there in the storyline of a Star Trek episode:
2014 "Why not? I'm bored. I need something that may be huge. I have an old idea about the internet. A simple message site that conveys full confidence!" Quoting myself again!@%!
9.22.2017: 14:34
More clear today, it was my interpretation in a collage that they were duplicating and using to both validate Time Travel Wish and to use to point me to the phone to indicate a full communication had been achieved.
More clear today, it was my interpretation in a collage that they were duplicating and using to both validate Time Travel Wish and to use to point me to the phone to indicate a full communication had been achieved.
|Because at that time I had doubts, but a lot of certainty that the image was matter transferred for me. For Time Travel Wish specifically - before it was created.
I know, the concept that a thing produced, or in this case set-up as a second laboratory on a free weblog, can be successful in its goals "before it was created," is a seemingly intangible statement by all known laws of our universe.
Tough. Things have changed. Our scientists are beginning to get it; that there can be another dimension of us, and many of us are duplicative effects of the same environment (same geologic history of a cosmos) and others are new creations of the new and different choices, many small, that cascaded into becoming different beings in another timeline - being there. Mind blowing? Not to me. Credible to me. Reasonable to hypotheses in physics and now visible for the first time on Earth to a time travel experimenter who had time, means, creativity, and could still dream without embarrassment from any peers whatsoever.

5/30/2016: They would not have done this (communication as public for the world) without knowledge that I would begin exposure with this evidence. Yes (you science minded people) in this digital age photography unaltered can and should still be considered the physical. I welcome anyone to invalidate the honesty of this entire project. All is visible. Several months ago (summer, fall 2015) I have released all passwords to parties on private posts.
12/10/2016: Helpful in understanding:
The linear course of discovery began with the amazing coincidence and context of the weblog template pre inserted background image, that I began to consider the strange and unexplained tree displacement that I had made note of months prior to making, what I thought totally unrelated, time travel wish in November of 2014, as this weblog:

6/11/2016: Our centuries-long struggle to divide supernatural mythology from the sciences and so see sciences recognized as our best methodology of deriving acceptable truths has resulted in stringent ground rules that this experimenter could not have adhered to in order to conduct this experiment. Because a paradox, that which cannot be proven to satisfaction of the new sciences was likely to be revealed if success was to be had.
If you viewers deny that what I am doing is SCIENCE: you are blind to what science really is and always has been: I am exploring a force of nature. I am using all methods available to me to test and validate the entirety of the Time Travel Wish experiment:
Successful before it was created. Reasonable in THIS TYPE OF EXPERIMENT.

5/18/2016: What you see here is truly incredible. The implications of my claim of discovery are amazing and the impact and scope of what may be are nearly too much of an emotional transition for most people at this time. I am doing the best I can and so this website severely reflects that struggle. I did not ask for what you see here.
I have been reporting and discovering objects of the paradox since January of 2015 and those objects were not searched for, rather each object and relationship became apparent in a slow and casual manner of process of discovery. That honest process can be seen and validated by anyone who takes the time to do so. There was no planned layout for this website. It was written and remains to be primarily witnessed by the team and not the internet audience exclusively. Notations run throughout in seemingly displaced locations due the need to place new and related objects of the paradox in their relevant spacetime locations on this HTML interface. James out! 4/18/2016: A next phase has begun. This morning:
As if they knew, I would put on that old wig and try to see if:
My old disrespectful Jesus wig was hanging around in the studio. As a fluke, I tried to match the expression of the horseman soldier, but wait a second! WTF!

Just gets better for all of us now.

Spacetime is not a human perception. It is a natural force here on Earth and it varies greatly across the huge expanse of the cosmos. It will be a barrier that prevents us from both communication and travel across space. Like all barriers of nature that prevent us from moving forward it will be surpassed by humanity. I find it reasonable that at this time in our technological and scientific growth we may soon have evidence of such a breach of this force of nature.
Timeline A: Team 1 : "Those objects must include all of those that existed in the target's environment on our around the time of the Time Target for the breach. If someone's spacetime location is well documented on the internet at the Time Target, that person may be a good target."
We need to physically move at least a few memories of the original to the mind of the target. Those memories he'll have to share with the original so that he can see the differences our intervention will create immediately after the breach of spacetime at Time Target."
Documented and irrefutable evidence of the first ever communication, full communication, with an alien race. Initiated by Team 2 and James Gray Mason, of the Team that successful created a new timeline:
I was careful to use the internet to document the real time occurrence.
Image directly above: Original; straight off the camera roll. I only needed one moment, when I was glancing upward, to take this one picture, then quickly return to my home and upload the shot for all to see the honesty of this test:
2 Days prior to that very specific conditions test; this happened:
They touched this image of my mother's painting that was inserted onto the website in the Divergence of Universes chapter and website page on this weblog on approx 11/29/201. Hadill appears to be in place:
These tests were meant to validate the continued presence of #Skypilot. What would you do if you had no choices and had to get someone to watch your discovery?
Further realization; there must be a human with them:
I have validation of both: Team 1, Team 2, and The Inexplicable Background Image's message to me. Our friends are here. They watch my back by watching my future. It is time to acknowledge our future can be amazing.
A time apart has communicated. They had assistance to save us and abandon a crisis world.
Gravity Will technology is making these moisture manipulations. Shot from nearly 100 million miles away in close orbital proximity to our star. They stay concealed and let all the others know; we have this planet. We watch this entire system now.

My UnfinishedNovels.org of 2012 - 2014 MAY be strongly related to what hadill:
For #History. For #posterity .
Not only did I make a breakthrough in one realm, it appears I make a pleasant #firstcontact for our friends. They have both validated my suspicion regarding the inexplicable background image, there the moment the site was created, but they have validated, now likely 3 times, both their presence and their monitoring of my progress.
I am delighted. I am honored. I am proud to represent us all if this should become so.
At page: the inexplicable background image.
It continues to get weirder. As has been the case in this experiment.
Brightening the area reveals that lighter pressure was used to distinguish the very characteristic of the character of the capital M that is next to the apparent capital J. A redundancy and a control to better ensure the target recognizes his message directed to him.
Time travel will be aggressively sought after in the coming few decades.
Date taken: April, 14, 2068 12:04 am
Unfortunately for the experimenters of the first breach of spacetime, there will be only a small pool of targets in a time apart from them to attempt to reach in order to validate their progress. That time will be the past. Because the past is both documented and now as a relative comparison as information being inextricably tied to the measurement of spacetime to information; Wide.
The past is wide and the window is only open as high enough to get through as the information that remains documented of the target's environment that can be used by us as related objects to be recognized by the target. There will need to be several with several contingencies for recognition and as important documentation to the internet. That informational window becomes the method of quantum connection to the other timeline. It closes as new information is developed by people and all environmental changes brought about by them then occur in difference to the original timeline that this newly acquired template of very similar information commits to divergence, or apartness from as an information proximity grows in spacetime difference.
The Team in timeline A:
"Unfortunately the large body of those in the scientific community at that time, they were under the employment of or too closely related to a governmental body. We cannot risk using that pool of scientists. There are just too many relationships to governments at the Time Target.
The chances that they will want to use the connection for dominance with power are too high. They are surrounded by information gatherers of the time, many are governmental. An individual must be found. That person's space time location must be documented. He or she will need a list of qualities. He or she will be very unique in their timeline when we are finished with the first few stages."
1:15 4/28/2016 Request for communication answered. Thanks guys! #timetravelhttp://timetravelwish.com
It was comedy that was the initiator of this communication:
This is not some fantasy delusion of looking for clouds. I announced I would be outside for 1:00 pm with messages here and on the Twitter account. This is one of many of these tests made throughout 2015 and again yesterday. I am very calm about these. Very casual. I had been expecting these to stop as these are meant for validations to me and not to anyone else and I am secure in knowing it's them. It's the nowtime half of the team responsible for the greatest scientific achievement of our time and our time to be. Manipulation of the moisture of our atmosphere is a method of both getting us into action to protect this planet and is used to communicate to me when I feel I need it.
The timing makes this beyond coincidence. That is how these tests are made. I do not venture outside to stare at cumulus. The winds were nearly absent, very low wind speeds as would have been necessary for them to paint the sky with moisture manipulation.
I am all of this content:

Some like it large: cooking with elephant garlic
Posted byon
The heads of elephant garlic look like they are on steroids: in fact, a single clove can be larger than an entire head of regular-sized garlic. Many are drawn to elephant garlic for its sheer size. Some also find the elephant variety to be easier grow, peel, and cook with. But these plump bulbs are hiding something very important: they're not really garlic at all!
Elephant garlic, known scientifically as allium ampeloprasum, is more closely related to the leek than to the normal stinking rose. Obviously the most recognizable distinction is its massive size: there have been cases when a single bulb weighs over a pound! Bulbs are big – but do they pack the same kind of flavor? Sadly, the answer is "no." In terms of strength, many compare elephant garlic as being to garlic what leeks are to onions. The flavor is much more subdued and can be on the sweet side. Garlic lovers have also described it as "garlic for people who don't like garlic."
While some aficionados might be disappointed by how mild elephant garlic tastes, others insist it is a better choice when it comes to cooking and prepping. Its milder taste can make it more palatable in raw form than its smaller counterpart. Elephant garlic is great in an assortment of foods, and can be added to dishes at the last minute for a garlicky note. You can use elephant garlic like you would use true garlic varieties, with the knowledge that it will have less pungency. Crushing, chopping, pressing or pureeing elephant garlic releases more of its essential oils and provides a more assertive flavor than slicing or leaving it whole.
Because elephant garlic cloves are so large, they can be more versatile to cook with than regular garlic. Their substantial sizes make them ideal for grilling, and are a super tasty, unique garnish or condiment for many dishes. If you're in the mood for a more mild flavor, below is an easy and scrumptious grilled elephant garlic recipe. Bon appetit!
Yummy Herb Grilled Elephant Garlic
1 head elephant garlic
1½ tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped, fresh thyme
1 teaspoon finely chopped, fresh oregano
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Qty: About ½ cup
- Cut the root end off each of the garlic cloves, and then peel them.
- Lay each clove on its flattest side, and then use a very sharp knife to thinly cut them into approximately ⅛-inch thick slices.
- Preheat a stovetop grill.
- In a small bowl, toss the garlic slices with the oil, herbs and sugar. Then spread them out evenly on a large plate, and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the garlic slices on the grill once it's very hot. You should hear a sizzling sound; if you don't, it's not hot enough yet.
- Grill until just long enough to mark the bottom of the slices, about 2 minutes. If they get dark they will turn bitter!
- Carefully flip them over and grill the other side for about 2 more minutes, again just to mark them.
- Remove the garlic from the grill and let it cool to room temperature.
- Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 4 days until you're ready to use. Yum!
We hope you enjoy large peeled elephant garlic in your food! To get the skin off you will need to use a fast and easy kitchen garlic peeler.

DAVID DE GEA has taken the brunt of Twitter's criticism of Manchester United's home draw with bottom of the league Stoke.
United had taken the lead after a masterstroke substitution from Jose Mourinho saw Anthony Martial curl home the first goal of the game in the 69th minute.
And with the Red Devils seemingly in cruise control, De Gea spilled a routine shot allowing Joe Allen to power the ball into a completely empty net.
The 82nd-minute error meant the Potters picked up a crucial, relying on some heroics from Lee Grant in the Stoke goal.
Despite a late charge, United were unable to snatch a winner and Mark Hughes' men left the happier.
But United fans on Twitter were not happy... Here are a selection of tweets directed at De Gea.

What's the difference between strategic marketing and strategic communications?
My friend Henri has just asked me a great question: what is the difference between strategic marketing and strategic communications?
Marketers would probably see PR (or communications ) as just one component part of the marketing mix. I would challenge this assertion.
In fact I would see strategic marketing as essentially being part of strategic communications. And to be clear I don't necessarily see marketers as "owners" of the brand. Marketers may make promises on behalf of the brand but it is down to employees (and other touchpoints) to deliver on that brand promise.
Indeed this is a topic we will be tackling head on at our event next Wednesday here at H&K London. We have great speakers from Aviva, British Gas and Soho Partners lined up on our panel. It's invite only but if you would like to get along drop me a note.
So going back to Henri's question I would define strategic communications along the lines of:
"Shaping conversations with key publics, influencers and opinion formers in ways which fulfil the organisation's strategic objectives, reputation and brand"
What do you think? What would your definition be?

The report also maps the qualitative impact of various market factors on market segments and geographies.
The most common hospital acquired infections or nosocomial infections are urinary tract infections, surgical wound infections, and lower respiratory tract infections. As per World Health Organization (WHO), the highest prevalence of hospital acquired infections occurs mostly in acute surgical and orthopedics wards. The old age people and people who are already suffering from other disease are more prominent to get the other disease. These people possess weak immunity and this is most promising reason for the causing infection.
Infection surveillance solutions is the program and process to control the occurrence of such disease. The market of infection surveillance solutions is segmented on the basis of Product type, end user and by geography. On the basis of product the market of Infection surveillance solutions is segmented as service and software. The software market is again segmented in two types i.e. web based software and on premise software. The software's used in hospitals for the managing the data sheet of patient and there other information to maintain the daily functions smoothly. The services market is further sub segmented as product maintenance and support, consultation and training programs and implementation of services.
The market for infection surveillance solutions by end user is segmented into hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Healthcare facilities include nursing facilities, nursing homes and other long term living facilities for patients who are suffering from long term diseases. The hospitals are further segmented as small hospitals and large hospitals. The rate of infectious disease occurred in large hospitals are high as the number of patients admitted over there are more and are admitted for longer durations as well.
The factors such as increasing prevalence of hospital acquired diseases, rising government support for prevention policies, rising healthcare expenditure will drive the market for Infection surveillance solutions. The high cost of software's and less awareness among emerging countries about the government plans may negatively impact the growth of this market.

In hospital the patient comes in contact with various microorganisms and these is the main reason for infection. The other most common reason is patient susceptibility. Patient susceptibility includes factors such as underlying disease, immune status, age, invasive therapies etc. patient suffering with chronic disease such as cancer, diabetes, AIDS, leukemia have increased susceptibility for pathogen infections.

Embattled Western Cape Premier Helen Zille has come under fire from opposition parties for "depriving communities of service delivery" after she cancelled her appearance on Heart 104.5FM's Premier and Mayor Show with Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille.
DA sources this week said relations between the pair had been frosty for some time, and Zille's cancellation of her appearance on the radio show was more evidence of this.
The two also haven't had their weekly Monday morning breakfast appointments at Zille's official residence at Leeuwenhof.
Despite Zille citing funding as her reason to end her appearance, De Lille has indicated that she will continue with her appearance on the show.
The ACDP said Zille's move meant that ordinary citizens would not have "direct access" to the Office of the Premier.
The Premier and Mayor Show, which takes place on the last Monday of the month, provides an opportunity for residents to direct questions to Zille and De Lille on issues of service delivery.
The ANC slammed Zille, accusing her of using financial prudence as an excuse. The party's provincial secretary, Faiez Jacobs, said his party rejected Zille's reasons.
"It's not the finances that led to this. We know Zille is using funds as a scapegoat.
"We know Zille does not see eye-to-eye with Patricia and that is the reason she doesn't want to take part in that show.
"Zille has an ego and does not want to work as a collective," said Jacobs.
He added that De Lille had committed herself to drive service delivery and accountability – something Zille was against.
ACDP provincial leader Ferlon Christians said they were saddened by the premier's move to withdraw from the show.
"Now this means the Office of the Premier will not be represented.
"I would think before someone thinks of the finances, they would think of the success. How is the man on the street going to have access to such an important office?" he asked.
EFF provincial leader Joseph Bernard said: "I think it's an embarrassment for the premier to participate further on that show, and also noting the concerns between herself and the mayor in terms of their relationship that has gone sour.
"The mayor is trying to focus on those poverty-stricken areas. It is quite obvious that the premier is not concerned about areas like Nyanga and Manenberg, where there is a high volume of crime."
But Zille's spokesperson Michael Mpofu denied that Zille had pulled out of the show due to the breakdown of her relationship with De Lille, saying the premier remained committed to responsive and accountable government.
"We have entered a new financial year as of the beginning of this month. Funds are allocated to reach citizens based on objectives, which are reviewed annually at this time within the prescribed available budget for the new financial year."
De Lille's spokesperson Zara Nicholson would not be drawn on Zille's reasons for withdrawing from the show, saying the premier's office should be approached, as "we cannot speak on their behalf".
"The premier's office have the prerogative to manage their communications budget as they see fit. The city will be continuing with the show as most of the queries are directed at the city."
The move by Zille comes as calls for her axing from the DA are mounting following her controversial tweet about colonialism.

Yes, I'm talking about the American Civil War.
For my friends in the North slash most of the rest of the world, yes, this is a conversation we're still having.
For my friends in the South, holy shit, how exhausting is this conversation we have to keep having?
For everyone who thinks this is a conversation we SHOULD keep having because you disagree that it was about slavery…well, we're probably not friends.
For everyone who's confused, this piece is meant to break it down for you. I'll go over the arguments people make, and why they're wrong, and what I think the war was really about (hint: it's slavery).

WE HAVE VISITED the Spaghetti Warehouse twice in the past year. There are several stories about the history of the location on Commerce street in downtown Houston. Until recent decades the building served as a pharmaceutical warehouse, and before that was a cotton storage facility. The structure itself is over a century old. According to tradition, the owner of the pharmaceutical warehouse was working late one night, and was somehow killed in the elevator. The tradition also says that his wife comes back looking for him.
Most of the activity is limited to the second floor. Busboys, waiters and dishwashers have reported table arrangements changing spontaneously, dishes and silverware flying off of the racks in the kitchen, and a lady in white. Late night crews sometimes feel that they are being watched from the second floor stairs. Employees there, also reports that chairs will be stacked on top of the tables nearly all the way up to the cieling.
Our first investigation provided only one photograph of mist in the elevator. Our second trip, about 9 months later, provided us with an anomalous EMF spike to around 5 in the middle of a small second floor dining room. A picture taken at that time came back with a vortex. A second spike in the main dining area on the second floor prompted another photograph, and the photo contained another vortex.
LSS spent the night at Spaghetti Warehouse on October 31, 2003 along with FM radio station 93 Q-Country. They wanted to help us document the paranormal activity that has been reported at this restaurant for quite a while, and so we paired up with them and gave them a crash course on paranormal evidence gathering. On our team, one of our psychics (who is very talented and gifted) could feel several presence's at different times of the evening on the second floor. When we had all our equipment up and running, we took a tour of the building. One of our techs escorted two of 93 Q's dj's all over the building, including the roof.
By the end of the tour, they were pretty sure, that something was there, watching them. By morning, we all had experienced something not of this world, photos, videos and tapes are still being reviewed.

Whoah after almost two weeks of strong rains and floods (thank God we were safe from floods in our village), the sun finally made it's awaited appearance today.
Photo from dawn.com
I am so grateful that we were spared. We actually had it easy. No floods, and we had electricity. The television was on the whole day for news and my heart felt a constant pinch every time I see people suffering. They really had it hard. People in the roofs of their houses because the whole first level was already submerged in water, people needing food, and people in evacuation centers squeezing their bodies to be sure they are safe. Some billionaire can give them TAG Heuer watches and they'd thank you just as much as if you give them a plate of rice.

When you own a company, you want to make sure that you are always in the best light when it comes to public scrutiny. While most people understand that everyone cannot be perfect, you still want your company to look good when everyone is looking at it. And any small imperfection can change that image no matter if it is your company's fault or not. So you do what you have to do to make sure that the image is kept alive in people eyes. Even if sometimes you have to lie.
While some companies might say that not admitting that they were hacked is not lying, it really is. They look at it as omitting certain parts of the story. While that might be technically correct you are still not being one hundred percent honest with your customers. And if that is the case, then when they find out it is going to be a lot worse than the initial crime. They will not only not trust your security system anymore; they will also not trust the people behind your company either. And in the people's eyes, you can always buy a bigger and better security system. What you cannot buy back is the trust of the people.
So if you are a new company and you are wondering what your policy should be in case of an event like this, then it is real simple. The first thing that you do is write a letter or an email and apologize for the security intrusion. It does not matter if it is your fault or not, just apologize. After the apology, the next step for you to do is to find out what went wrong and fix it. While your customers will appreciate the fact that you are owning up to the problem, they still want to be sure that what happened will never happen again. Once you have a stronger security system in place, and you make sure that you know your customers know this, then they will be more at ease and they will be able to trust you again.

Yesterday, the 30th of January, the first Iraqi election was held.
From the Kurdish north to the largely Shiite south, at thousands of polling stations, voters delivered a similar message: The elections represented their moment not only to seize the future, but also to reject a legacy of dictatorship and the bloodshed and hardship that have followed the U.S. invasion. – Source
My sincere congratulations to Iraq and it's peoples. Whether or not this could have been done otherwise, I do not know. Regardless, it is positive to see such enthusiasm among the Iraqis. I hope the future is brighter from now on.

A MUSIC teacher charged with murdering his partner has admitted killing her before putting her body in a suitcase, a court heard.
Andrew Lindo - a supply teacher at Myers Grove and Wisewood schools in Sheffield, who also taught at Take 2 theatre school in Birdwell, Barnsley - appeared at Bradford Crown Court yesterday charged with murdering 30-year-old Marie Stewart.
Lawyers representing the 28-year-old told a judge he is prepared to admit the manslaughter of the mum-of-two, whose body was found in the garage of their home in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, at the weekend.
Lindo was charged with murder after the grim discovery - and prosecutors told a preliminary hearing a plea to manslaughter was not acceptable. A trial date was fixed for August 30. The court heard the issue was one of provocation.
Colin Byrne, defending, said: "He accepts he is responsible for the killing."
The Recorder of Bradford Judge James Stewart QC ruled certain details which emerged in court could be reported, and said: "The issue is what caused him to kill the victim.
"He has raised the issue of provocation. It strikes me that is going to be the sole issue in the case."
Police were contacted by Miss Stewart's relatives, worried they had not seen her since Christmas. A post-mortem examination showed she died from multiple stab wounds and blunt force trauma.
Unshaven Lindo, who appeared in court in a blue jumper and trousers, with thick dark hair and glasses, stared ahead with his hands clasped throughout the preliminary hearing.
He was remanded in custody to return to the court in June for a plea and case management hearing.
A Sheffield Council spokeswoman confirmed: "Lindo was engaged for services on a temporary basis as a peripatetic teacher at Wisewood School and Myers Grove School to teach a small number of private pupils. All parents and carers of those pupils concerned have been informed directly. We are unable to comment further."

What is the plot of 'The Black Cat'? please tell me what is exposition, rising action, climax, and falling action and resolution. please I need this by tomorrow at 30:00 p.m.
- print Print
- list Cite
30:00 PM? Ok, well let me take a quick crack at it.
Exposition: narrator reveals he loves both cats and dog above men. He has married young and tries to introduce his wife to this love of animals. We also find out that Pluto, the black cat, is his favorite.
Rising Action: He starts to suffer from mood swings increased by alcohol. He mistreats his animals and his wife but does not harm Pluto until one night he lashes out at Pluto and cuts out one of his eyes. The narrator hangs Pluto from a tree to finish the job and his house burns down at the same time. Of course, the narrator doesn't put two and two together that these incidents relate. A new black cat is discovered in a barrel of alcohol with a white mark on his fur resembling gallows (things to hang people from)
Climax: The narrator heads into his cellar and almost trips over this new cat. He is going to kill it when his wife tries to stop him. He takes an ax to her head and kills her. He then dismembers the body and decides to hide it behind the plaster of one of his walls in the basement. He looks around for the cat and figures it has scampered off.
Falling action: The police show up on the fourth day after the murder and the narrator takes them on a tour of the house to ease their suspicions. He even knocks on the basement walls to show everything is OK. At this point the cat cries out from behind the wall, the police tear it away and discover the cat sitting on top the dead wife's head.
