Since Mother's Day is approaching (May 9th, one month away), I decided to post about my wonderful Grandmother, Jessie. Isn't this photo exquisite. Believe it or not, my Father took this photo of his Mother when he was just in his teens. He built a darkroom in his home when he was young, and took portraits of neighboring families. I love it, and especially love the way it is matted. I can only imagine how gorgeous this garden photo would be if it had been in color. I am amazed at how my Father captured such a lovely moment of his Mother.
Jessie was an amazing lady. I have so many fond memories of my summers at her home. It truly was the lazy days of summer. I would lay on the davenport engrossed in a Nancy Drew mystery for hours on end. I have always called it a sofa, but I remember Jessie referred to it as the "davenport." Not too sure where this name originated. I do know it was a soft, squishy, luxurious couch. Perfect for reading. She had the summer slip covers on, and the fabric was very soft. I would dream away in my mystery books.
I also had "summer friends." Neighbors of my grandmother had children that I would play with in the summer. One girl in particular was so much fun to visit. Her name was Priscilla, and she lived down the street. We would spend hours making paper dolls. We had one set of dolls, and would design all our own clothes. As I look back, it was so creative. We would color them and make beautiful fabric designs as well. Priscilla's Mother would prepare a lunch menu for us. It was so much fun. Just like being in a restaurant. You could choose between peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, soup, fruit cup and of course my all time favorite, flavor straws! The flavoring was in the straw and you would put them in a glass of milk. My favorite was strawberry.

Japanese technology company Toshiba expects a huge loss for its current fiscal year, which ends in March 2016. The loss is a consequence because of an accounting scandal, which in turn led to a restructuring program.
4.2 billion euro loss
The loss would be 550 billion yen (4.2 billion euro), but to compensate for the loss, Toshiba has decided to cut 6,800 jobs in its Lifestyle division - responsible for all consumer electronics and household appliances. It will also sell a factory in Indonesia and close and sell a Tokyo-based research center. By the end of the fiscal year, another 1,000 jobs in the main office will be cut.
How many people will actually lose their job, is not certain as part of the jobs will disappear through the sale of a specific part of the company. All in all, Toshiba currently employs some 200,000 people all across the world.
The loss and job cuts are all fallout from an accounting scandal revealed at the start of the year. The Japanese company had artificially bloated its financial numbers for years, adding 152 billion yen (1.2 billion euro) of additional, fictitious profit.

History of Bitcoin
History of Bitcoin
Bitcoin is an advanced and Digital Cash. It enables for people to send or get cash over the web, even to somebody they don't know or don't trust. Cash can be traded without being connected to a genuine character. The scientific field of Cryptocurrency is the reason for Bit Coin's Security.
A Bitcoin Address, or essentially address, is an identifier of 26-35 alphanumeric characters, starting with the number 1 or 3, that speaks to a conceivable goal for a bitcoin instalment. Addresses can be created at no cost by any client of Bitcoin.
For instance, utilizing Bitcoin Core, one can click "New Address" and be doled out an address. It is likewise conceivable to get a Bitcoin address utilizing a record at a trade or Online Wallet Benefit.
The unit of record of the bitcoin framework is bitcoin. bitcoin is also popular with a short name like BTC.
On 18 August 2008, the area name "bitcoin.org" was enlisted. In November that year, a connection to a paper composed by Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System was presented on a cryptocurrency mailing list.Nakamoto executed the bitcoin programming as open source code and discharged it in January 2009 on SourceForge The character of Nakamoto stays obscure.
In January 2009, the bitcoin organize appeared after Satoshi Nakamoto mined the primary ever hinder on the chain, known as the beginning square. Inserted in the coin base of this square was the accompanying content:
Each address has two critical bits of Crypto Currency Data, or keys: an open one and a private one.
General society key, which is the thing that the "bitcoin address" is made from, is like an email address; anybody can find it and send bitcoins to it.
The private address, or private key, is like an email secret word; just with it can the proprietor send bitcoins from it. Along these lines, it is essential that this private key is kept the mystery. To send bitcoins from an address, you demonstrate to the system that you claim the private key that relates to the address, without uncovering the private key.
This is finished with a branch of arithmetic known as Public Key Cryptography.
Public Key
A Public Key key is the thing that decides the responsibility for and is fundamentally the same as an ID number. On the off chance that somebody needed to send you bitcoins, you would simply supply them your bitcoin address, which is a form of your open key that is simpler to peruse and type. For instance, if Lily has 1 bitcoin at the bitcoin address "ABC12," and Julie has no bitcoins at the bitcoin address "DEF46," Lily can send 0.5 bitcoins to "DEF46." As soon as the exchange is handled, Julie and Lily both have 0.5 bitcoins. Anybody utilizing the framework can perceive how much cash "ABC12" has and how much cash "DEF46" has, however, they can't enlighten anything concerning who claims the address.
Private Key
In the case above, "ABC12" and "DEF46" are the bitcoin locations of Lily and Julie. Be that as it may, Lily and Julie each have a moment key which just they independently know.
The private key is never shared and permits the proprietor of the bitcoins to control them. Notwithstanding, if the private key isn't kept the mystery, at that point any individual who sees it can likewise control and take the bitcoins there. This occurred on live TV when Bloomberg's Matt Miller inadvertently demonstrated a private key to watchers.

10 Free Ways to Market Yourself and Your Wedding Business/
Here at WeddingIQ we've talked at length about determining which wedding shows to attend, weighing the options when it comes to advertising, and building your brand. We've also stressed the importance of high quality collaterals and hiring creatives and coaches for support, as well as joining professional groups within your industry. All these suggestions require an investment of not only your time but also a decent percentage of your business income. Purchasing expensive letterpress business cards or joining exclusive (and pricey) networking groups may help establish your brand, but don't ignore all the free ways you can market yourself and your business. You can implement the items on this list today with nothing more than a little time and effort.
1. Attend free networking events. If you get invited, go. If you were not invited, go as someone's guest and make sure you're on the list for the next event. In the Baltimore/DC area Biz Brainstorming, Metro Event Specialists and Thursday Therapy are all free to those in the industry and require nothing but your attendance. Practice your 30 second intro, strike up some conversations and follow up after the meeting.
2. Work it on social media. Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Periscope, Snapchat, the options are endless. Toot your own horn. Let people know what you are doing. Share events and accomplishments. Tag your clients, vendors and friends. Use relevant and popular hashtags to promote your business.
3. Create an email newsletter. This does not have to be elaborate to be effective. Even a quarterly mailing will let your clients and colleagues know of any upcoming changes, promotions or projects you are working on. There are several paid programs such as Constant Contact, Aweber or MailChimp that can help you out or you can simply create a downloadable PDF.
4. Call a colleague. No one talks on the phone anymore. I'm guilty of this myself, but picking up the phone and reaching out to fellow colleagues might drum up some unexpected business. Just by having a conversation and catching up, you will learn more about each other's business and the types of clients you both need.
5. Write a blog, write a guest blog. Blogging is a great way to share your story, talk about your work and give clients a more in depth look into your business. If you don't have a blog of your own, consider guest blogging for a popular local blog, another vendor friend in the industry or any niche blog that interests you. You can ask them for topics that interest their readers or you can write a blog that interests you and then shop it around.
6. Volunteer in your industry and community. Giving of your time and services to a worthy cause is not only personally fulfilling but also free advertising. Sponsor an event, physically help out or donate your services in kind. The grateful hosts and hostesses will usually give you shoutouts online and in print.
7. Reach out to past clients. This is an untapped goldmine. Not only might your past clients need your products or services again but they might know someone else who does, too. Planting a little reminder of what you have to offer could bring in much needed revenue. Also, following up after services have been rendered will help to bring in testimonials and reviews that you can then use to attract new business.
8. Get comfortable with public speaking. What better way to establish yourself as a leader in your field than to speak to a room full of receptive listeners? Seek out professional groups, conferences and clubs that may be interested in your business and your expertise. You can tailor a topic to appeal to their specific audience. It's a great way to let people know who you are and to attract the right clients.
9. Make an offer. Giveaways, free consultations and specials are all great ways to give potential clients a taste of what you have to offer, commitment-free, or encourage them to purchase more from you. Who doesn't like to get a deal? Just make sure you're not giving away more than you can handle and that it's something of value to the client. The goal is to bring in revenue, not to waste your time working for nothing.
10. Barter your services. Each one of us has some talent that others are lacking. Exchanging products and services with other professionals, even clients, is a great way for both of you to get what you need. Think outside of your own industry on this one as well. I've helped people with social media and design as well as photography. You never know what someone has to offer.
So get out there today and promote yourself for free! Combining these suggestions with paid marketing campaigns will give you a more well rounded strategy,as well as add a personal, creative and hands-on approach to your brand.

Synopsis for "When Lands the Saucer!"
While resting just out of Earth's atmosphere, the Surfer is jarred awake by falling meteors, and he decides that he should try and find a home among the humans he is forced to live with. Traveling to a European town, the Surfer is driven away by the panicked locals who distrust the Surfer due to his previous acts of aggression towards humanity. The Surfer once more tries to integrate into society by trying to find a home in the city; however his arrival there is also met with fear and distrust.
Returning to space, the Surfer laments humanity's many ills when he suddenly notices the arrival of a Badoon ship in Earth's space. When it lands in New York and cloaks itself, the Surfer tries to warn the people on the street, but is knocked out and locked up in a jail. Reviving, the Surfer breaks out of his cell and decides to confront the aliens directly. Meeting the Badoon in their ship, the Surfer is told by their leader the Brother Royal that they have come to Earth to end all evil; however, a captive Earth girl warns the Surfer that the Badoon are really planning to invade the Earth. The girl is blasted for her troubles and the Surfer escapes the Badoon ship with the near dead girl, and puts her in limbo status in Earth's orbit while he deals with the Badoon.
The Surfer battles the Badoon, who unleash their creature the Monster of Badoon. As Surfer battles the antagonists in the city, the people of the city are once more put in a state of panic because the Badoon's cloaking technology makes it look as though the Surfer is on another rampage. The Surfer manages to destroy the Monster but not without the military planning a strike against the Surfer. When the missiles are launched, the Badoon believe that they are being attacked by the Earth military and are forced to retreat.
The Surfer tries to piggy back on the Badoon's ship to try and get past Galactus' barrier until he remembers the girl he left in limbo and goes back for her. The Surfer returns her to Earth and tries to revive her with his Power Cosmic. However, he is chased by the Air Force and is forced to abandon the girl so that no harm comes to her. While the girl is revived, the military believe that she was attacked by the Surfer, who flees.

The Watcher tells a story he has seen in Earth's history. An extraterrestrial special forces unit infiltrates a remote radar outpost in Canada.

The aliens break into the outpost, taking the men prisoner and revealing themselves as the Krill from the Ninth Galaxy. Their mission is to destroy Earth's radar capabilities so their war fleet massed in the planet's orbit can land and avoid humanity's atomic weapons. The Krill would rather bribe the men than kill them and offer them wealth and riches, eventually upping the ante to giving them the most beautiful women in the galaxy to marry. Lou accepts their offer but gets into a fistfight with our hero, who is then incapacitated by a Krill ray gun. The hero awakens from his paralysis and presses the alarm button while Lou screams in terror as he is shown his new bride: a Krill woman who, while beautiful to the Krill, is not easy on the eyes for a human. With the alarm sounded, the invasion is defeated.

TUFF COATINGS AUSTRALIA is the newest addition to the TUFF brand that started with TUFF BULLBARS AUSTRALIA. Phil Griffiths purchased Tuff Bullbars and Ute Shop in 2002 - a small bullbar manufacturing business in rented premises, with a small turn-over and a handful of staff. After 6 years of rapid growth the company became TUFF BULLBARS AUSTRALIA, as it is known today. The bullbar industry is very competitive, and there is a lot of cheap, poor quality product available with little customer service, and the TUFF TEAM have worked diligently and consistently to change this. TUFF BULLBARS AUSTRALIA is now widely regarded as the best manufacturer of bullbars in Australia. This was achieved by building high quality product at a competitive price and providing exceptional customer service. As the TUFF reputation grew, so the quantity of bullbars manufactured has increased. Production reached a point where it became necessary for us to do our own coatings, thus keeping up with the volume of bullbars and ensuring that our high quality expectations were maintained and improved. Researching the local coatings industry revealed a need for the public to have access to our state-of-the-art facilities, improving the viability of the project. Our high quality, rapid turnaround and exceptional customer service would be our competitive advantage. The TUFF brand believes in making a positive difference for our customers, our employees and the whole community. TUFF stands for exceptional customer service, honesty, integrity, quality, innovation, fun, competitive challenge and most importantly, value for money. We deliver a quality product with top class service, always aiming to continually improve our customers' experience through innovation. Our research led us to take advantage of the opportunity to build the TUFF brand by using these principles and provide a great coating service to customers in the Darling Downs region and so TUFF COATINGS AUSTRALIA was born. The next 12 months were spent building our new premises and installing the latest sandblasting, powdercoating and rhino lining equipment. On the 1st October 2008, TUFF COATINGS started operations - and the company has gone rapidly from strength to strength, even in the current harsh economic climate. We now deal with a group of great customers, and are continually looking to expand our customer base in the quest to be the best in the Darling Downs region. Once a TUFF company is up and running, several factors contribute to making it a success. The power of the TUFF name, the Griffiths Family's personal reputation and commitment, our network of friends, contacts and partners, the TUFF management style, the way talent is empowered to flourish within the group. Our companies are part of a family rather than a hierarchy. They are empowered to run their own affairs, but still help one another, and solutions to problems come from many sources. In a sense we are a community, with shared ideas, values, interests and goals. Our role is to be a consumer super hero. This is achieved by delivering on our brand values. Many companies espouse a set of brand values, which often become completely meaningless. TUFF believes that the most important thing is the way their values are delivered and brought to life. Here is how the TUFF Group and in particular, TUFF COATINGS AUSTRALIA deliver the values of our brand:
HONESTY TUFF is serious about being upright and fair with customers, suppliers and competitors, being honest about pricing, delivery times and the services we offer and actually doing the processes that we say we do. EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE The TUFF TEAM are friendly, helpful, and professional without being corporate. They are all humans, just like our customers. INTEGRITY The TUFF TEAM adhere to a strong moral and ethical code, both professionally and personally - a company and team with a sound moral character. QUALITY High standards, attention to detail, effective quality control systems and over delivering on promises. INNOVATION Challenging convention with good and new ideas, whether it be different production techniques, systems or quality control improvements, or simple but innovative upgrades to customer service. FUN All companies take themselves seriously and TUFF are no exception - after all we are serious about the services and products we offer our customers and we are serious about delivering on our promises and values. It is important to have fun whilst doing this, and we like our customers and the TUFF TEAM to enjoy their TUFF experience. COMPETITIVE CHALLENGE Standing up to the big boys in our industries and having fun, doing it with honesty and integrity - even if others don't fight so fair. VALUE FOR MONEY Simple, honest & transparent pricing - not necessarily the cheapest on the market, but definitely the most bang for your buck!!
I am very proud of the principles that TUFF COATINGS AUSTRALIA adhere to, and of everything we have achieved in our short history. I invite you to try the experience yourself and I personally guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Have a great day!! Anton Griffiths

Our lives are seasoned with sayings and quotes that people have shared along the way, and they may have a greater influence than we realize. At a recent book club meeting to discuss my novel, The Truthful Story, I was asked where the title came from, and I explained how my grandmother always used to say those words in a very convincing, hushed tone as if you were the lucky one who gets to hear what comes next. She'd say to me "Now, the truthful story is…," using that phrase to prepare me for a story or perspective that needed to be told, and in her case, a "truthful story" didn't mean proven, scientific facts as seen by the naked eye, but rather something that far surpasses that human outcry for validation. The truthful story resonates deep within you in a way that needs no defense or explanation. It defies our struggle to apply common sense and celebrates natural instinct and insight. The truthful story exists for the pure purpose of escorting in something below the surface, and it's different from other stories. As the character of 11-year-old Genevieve says in the novel, "You'll recognize it because it has a special message inside of it, and if you listen close, you'll find out what it really means. If you use its special powers, the words will jump out from the story and land inside of you and live there forever."
Having said that, I've noticed that many writers and artists of all kinds are driven by their 'truthful stories". Sometimes we as observers or readers don't know right away all that the painting or the sculpture or the film or the novel is showing us. But you know when it hits you as something powerful because you can't shake it, and you keep coming back to it over and over, and each time you do, you take more and more from it. It really does live on inside of you forever. That's what Ralph Waldo Emerson's 1841 essay "Self-Reliance" did for me. My now adult children remember me quoting often from Emerson, and I started doing that early, when they were too young to understand what it meant. Somehow, though, just by the way I delivered this message to them, they knew it was important. Tucking them into bed, I would place their hands on their hearts and say, "Trust thyself. Every heart vibrates to that iron string." I would feel their little hearts beating fast, and I would whisper in their ears a truthful story. Trust yourself, your mind, your heart, your feelings. That is what you are made of, and you are not like anyone else in the entire world. Have the courage to be the best you you can be. No one can do it better.
When I wrote The Truthful Story, I was reminded of the enormous impact that writers and artists have had on me, and the messages they have delivered to my heart—messages no one will ever be able to touch or see. And that is perfectly fine with me. In my book, after young Genevieve reads The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, she asks her father about a particular passage that has been underlined. It says, "Here is my secret. It is very simple; It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Genevieve's father explains to her what he thinks it means, "…and he said it was like how he loved me. 'You can't see love,' he said, 'but you can feel it, and you can't live without it.' " And Genevieve knew exactly what he meant.

The hightlights are: It is so darn easy to use! and The gates can look any way you like
Try the ingame command: /gate
Check out our Craft Inc. Minecraft Server! Everyone is welcome!
Thought first you should take a look at the demonstration oloflarsson and karibu6 created:
Who can create a gate?
See the Permissions section.
Who can destroy a gate?
Anyone if you do not use a third-party protection plugin like Grief Prevention.
Are there IConnomy integration, Features for user to dial other gates etc?
Nope. This plugin is very minimalistic and plain. Server operators manage the portals players use them any time they are open.
Note that the commands mentioned in this section will be made available with the upcoming 2.1 release of Craft Inc. Gates! Meanwhile type '/gate help' while playing to see the current set of commands.
With the /gate plugin you can create gates which will teleport players anywhere you want. Just build a portal (like those nether portal). The gates can look any way you like.
To make the gate work place yourself in a newly created gate frame and type /gate create [id]. Afterwards walk to the destination of your portal and type /gate exit [id] to set the destination. With /gate open [id] you can get your newly created gate to work.
To hide a gate simply call /gate hide [id]. Now that gate won't have purple blocks when open. You can even remove the frame without stopping the hidden gate from working. But unhiding a gate without a frame is not possible!
Use the following commands to modify your gates even further:
/gate close,c [id]
Closes a gate to prevent players from using it.
/gate create,new [id]
Creates a gate at your current location.
/gate delete,del,remove,rm [id]
Removes the gate from the game.
/gate exit,e [id]
Changes the location where the gate will teleport players to your current location.
/gate help,h,? [page]
Prints the help pages
/gate hide,h [id]
Makes a gate NOT consist of gate blocks while open.
/gate info,details,i,d [id]
Prints detailed informations about a certain gate.
/gate list,ls [page]
Prints all availiable gates.
/gate location,l [id]
Sets the entrance of the gate to your current location.
/gate open,o [id]
Open a gate so players can use it.
/gate rename,changename,cn [current name][new name]
Changes the name/id of the gate.
/gate unhide,uh [id]
Makes that gate visible.

The HTS-1000 sensor enables fiber optic temperature measurements up to 1000 °C. In addition to the traditional benefits of fiber optic sensors, including immunity to electromagnetic interference, better environmental stability and enhanced remote sensing as compared to traditional electronic sensors, the HTS-1000 extends these benefits to ultra-high temperature applications, ranging from turbine engine test and development to refinery process monitoring and control. Microwave environments can be accommodated with an all glass sensor.
The HTS-1000 sensor is used in conjunction with fiber optic interrogators and is now fully integrated with the Micron Optics interrogator, sm125, or the National Instruments equivalent NI PXIe-4844,that we typically use to read out the sensor.
The OSI driver, available from Micron Optics or NI, functions to acquire the optical spectrum and then scale the acquired spectrum into an accurate temperature measurement using Chiral Photonics' signal processing routines and enables full integration within LabVIEW.
The HTS-1000 is based on Chiral Photonics' chiral diffraction grating, fabricated by twisting a fiber as it is passed through a miniature heat zone to produce a distinct dip in the transmission spectrum. The spectral position of the dip in this chiral fiber changes with temperature allowing it to be used as a temperature sensor.
HTS-1000 Specifications
HTS-1000 Schematics
Temperature testing was carried out in a computer-controlled high-temperature oven in which the temperature was also monitored by a thermocouple. Both long-term temperature stability and temperature sensitivity were tested using a fiber optic interrogator to monitor sensors as they were cycled from room temperature to 1000 °C. The characteristic spectral dip wavelength shifts to the red by approximately 1.3 nm as the temperature is raised by 100 °C. The figure below shows the wavelength of transmission dip of a chiral fiber versus temperature. The temperature was cycled five times from 700 °C to 1000 °C in the course of 24 hours, dwelling for 3 hours at these temperatures. The inset shows the temperature variations. As seen in the figure below, the HTS-1000 is capable of reliably measuring temperature up to 1000 °C with better than 1% accuracy. Drift measured over more than 1400 hours at 900 °C was 0.0005 °C/hr.


text: Prints | William Heydt's interest in etching developed from a chance meeting with the V V Swiss printmaker Dadi Wirz while Heydt was a painting student at the Rhode Island School of Design and Wirz was teaching there on temporary assignment. Wirz had been a student of Stanley William Hayter, and his stories of Hayter and talk of Hayter's technical innovations in intaglio suggested enhanced creative possibilities to Heydt, whose concern for drawing was already strong. In 1971 Heydt traveled to France to study with Wirz, who had a studio in Garrigues. There he met Hayter, whom he followed to Paris for further talk and at whose atelier he began intensive study the next year. Heydt's commitment to etching became clear to him in the two years he spent at Hayter's studio. His technical development paralleled the growth of his artistic personality. There was never in his association with the great innovator a hampering discipleship, no unpleasant echoes of the imagery of the master. From the first, Heydt put his talents to work in pursuit of the just expression of his fantasy and wit, which are grounded in the observation of human life and character. Figuration, of course, is at the heart of the matter, and Heydt's ability to absorb and to translate to his own idiom stylistic features from the visual arts that have dealt with this subject matter enriched even his early efforts and took them out of a particular time and place. Heydt's prints both synthesize and essentialize complex feelings about aspects of the human condition. They are about separateness, fugitive contacts, encounters, relationships, performances, self-image, and impact. The artist's attitude is often satiric or ironic. But Heydt's empathy, a strong feature of his work, is without anger or sentimentality. During his years with Hayter, Heydt managed to travel extensively in Europe and as far east as TInkey. The more strange and primitive places he visited impressed him; he responded to his sense of their oddity, and some of the visual energy of his observations in these places has come into his work. Heydt continued to paint during his time with Hayter, but also he prepared approximately thirty etching plates that met the test of his then-current self-criticism. Fifteen of these plates have since been edition ed, the ten images forming the suite" Mes Amis" (1976), and a further five individual images, induding "Lotus Love" (1976) and "Dying Species" (1977). Heydt's edition sizes have generally ranged between thirty and fifty, numbers that he felt manageable when he himself was doing the printing. Heydt returned to the United States in 1975. He then took his Master of Fine Arts degree at the Rhode Island School of Design, his thesis having been the linocut suite "Among Friends" (1977). About this time he established a studio in Providence. There, in addition to printing the plates of the Hayter years, he began a number of new projects, mainly on the theme of the circus (which may seem to us as Heydt has pictured it a microcosm of the world). The result was "Circus Acts" (1978), a suite of ten images in an edition of fifty, printed by Robert E. Townsend at Impressions Workshop, Boston. Notable individual plates on the circus theme have been "Bird Act," "Rabbit Act," and "Square Meal"-all of 1979. Heydt continues to paint, draw, and work on etching projects. The present catalogue reflects his production to date in the etching medium that meets both his technical and aesthetic standards. This body of work is small, relative to some, but its consistency of quality and vividness of personality are exceptional. These prints reward and continue to reward the time we give to them. Often intimate in format, they are large in feeling and in the visual pleasures they afford us both through viewing and through close examination. In them we confront a subtle and refined sensibility. We discover not so much a fresh sense of others as a sense of ourselves. | Gene Baro

(War… what is it good for? Transferring billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of a handful of people and perpetuating an unjust system of exploitation around the globe, uh-huh yeah!)
A week ago today, the United Nations security council voted to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya. It sounded like a good idea at the time. Finally some welcome help for all of the protesters being massacred in the Middle East. No more flying overhead means no more Libyan warplanes bombing civilians, right?
But installing a no-fly zone means securing enemy anti-aircraft positions. And that takes offensive action, meaning civilians will be killed in the bid to protect civilians.
US military brass must have been delighted when France opted to initiate the battle, giving the US the opportunity to enact a strategy that was perhaps planned months in advance.
Journalists have been criticized for failing to ask enough questions in the lead up to the Iraq war. So many justifications for the invasion – weapons of mass destruction, 9/11 links – turned out to be false.
For this latest military endeavor in Libya, there wasn't even time for debate. They just up and started another open-ended conflict! Out of no where, missiles were flying, and we find ourselves where we are today – on the brink of another potentially disastrous quagmire.
Gaddafi sure makes a great villain, doesn't he? Despite all the military muscle being thrown at him, just watch. Somehow the evil dictator will magically stay alive to serve as the head of another monster the world's military can protect us from.
Don't doubt for a second that the war-profiteers won't escalate this conflict as far and as fast as they can. Military spokespeople are claiming ground troops will not be deployed, but that doesn't matter. For security's sake, they wouldn't announce an occupation until it had already begun.
We cannot let the military industrial complex do it to us again. Yank back on the war machine's leash before it's too late. Sound the drumbeats of peace now. Say no to escalation in Libya!

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – Following last month's deadly earthquake and tsunami in Japan and political uprisings in the Middle East, one of the problems facing people has been a difficulty in relaying information to each other.
But now, there's an app for that. The Democri-C app was developed by a loose-knit group of programmers, who started developing it after last January's Haiti earthquake.
"Programmers from different parts of the world actually got together using a network of Twitter and Facebook and put this app together rapidly," said developer Scott Douglas.
KCBS' Patti Reising Reports:
The group came up with a computer software application which creates an instant communications system using technology that each person can control by themselves.
It's for urgent communications during a crisis and Douglas said users can tap in commands on their phone, which would be converted to Morse code.
"Another party application uses pre-stored sound files that are out on the internet that say, go north, go south, run away or meet here," he said.
Douglas said the app has life-saving implications.
"We hope in areas where there's regime change that people's lives are saved because they get away from the bad guys and can organize and come together," said Douglas.
The app costs 99-cents at the iTunes Store.

Big Brother & The Holding Company
Janis Joplin's Original Band
Evolving out of the San Francisco rock scene of the mid-1960s, Big Brother was in the forefront of the psychedelic music movement. The band was formed by Peter Albin, Sam Andrew, James Gurley and Chuck Jones in a Victorian mansion-cum-boarding house owned by Peter's uncle at 1090 Page Street in the Haight Ashbury section of San Francisco. During the summer of 1965, Sam Andrew began to frequent 1090 Page Street, and before long he and Peter Albin had formed a band. Originally called the Blue Yard Hill, with various members floating in and out, Big Brother became a reality in September of that year. The name was selected by legendary concert promoter Chet Helms from a list of names that the band was reviewing for consideration. "Big Brother" was near the top of the list and "The Holding Company" close to the bottom; with a decision to combine the two, Big Brother and the Holding Company was born.
They played their first official gig in January 1966 at the Open Theater in Berkeley. Within a short time they became the house band for Chet Helms at the Avalon Ballroom and began to develop a loyal following of fans. The band had what Sam Andrew described as a "progressive-regressive hurricane blues style" in the early days. During the winter of 1966 Chuck Jones left the band and was replaced by Dave Getz. The band also decided they should begin looking for a female lead singer, which was an up and coming trend with many other San Francisco bands. Chet Helms suggested Janis Joplin, a transplanted Texan who had performed in the Bay Area in 1963-64, and on Chet's urging, Janis auditioned for the band and was invited to join them. Janis debuted with Big Brother on June 10, 1966, at the Avalon Ballroom, and with fans approving of the addition, Janis became an instant hit.
When Janis joined, the musical direction of the band began to change. In the early days they regularly launched into extended, fifteen minute, improvisations. However, after Janis joined, the format became more structured to accommodate a vocalist. In August 1966 Big Brother went to Chicago for an engagement at Mother Blues, and it was there that they signed their first record contract with Mainstream Records. Throughout the winter of 1966 and the spring of 1967 their popularity and their audience continued to grow and in June 1967 the band was invited to play at the Monterey Pop Festival. It was their performance at Monterey -particularly Janis and her "screamingly mournful vocals and potently sexual stage act" - that truly shot Big Brother into the national spotlight. But though Janis was hailed as a great blues singer, Ed Denson of the Berkeley Barb observed that "it was the instrumentalists who really made the group out of sight."
By the close of 1968, Janis Joplin had decided to leave the band. Sam Andrew joined her in her new Kozmic Blues Band, and Peter Albin and David Getz joined Country Joe and The Fish. Big Brother ceased to exist for a period of months; but by the early fall of 1969 the band was resurrected. Over the next ten years the band members would briefly get together for some shows or a tour, only to once again split up and have members each explore their own musical direction. Some shows in the late 1990s inspired the group to produce a new album, Do What You Love, released in1998.
The band toured heavily in 2006 and 2007, which lead up to the release of their first live album, The Lost Tapes. This 2-CD set is made up of some old, never released recordings with Janis Joplin, as well as new songs. Big Brother & The Holding Company's hits are as alive today as they were back in the 60's. With the unfortunate passing of guitarist James Gurley in December 2009, the current band now consists of guitarist and songwriter Sam Andrew, bassist Peter Albin, drummer Dave Getz and many on and off stage vocalists. Come celebrate the music of the 60s with this classic band and their unique rock and roll sound.

Latest News
Rep. David Price seeks revamp of presidential election financing
A North Carolina congressman unveiled legislation this week that would restructure financing of presidential elections by substantially increasing the public tax dollars that are used to match private contributions.
The proposal by Democratic Rep. David Price would restructure the presidential campaign public-financing system that was put in place 40 years ago after the Watergate scandal.
Price announced the legislation Tuesday. He had introduced a bill in 2007 that sought to address some of the same issues.
"It's ironic, but I think appropriate, that we're doing something on the anniversary of Watergate," Price said in announcing the legislation. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., has introduced similar legislation in the Senate.
"If we pass this legislation, the country and the democracy will be much stronger," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat who announced the legislation with Price. "Candidates will spend less time chasing after contributions and more time focused on important issues."
The new legislation would increase the public matching money for primary elections from one-to-one to four-to-one for donors who give no more than $200. This would make a $200 contribution by an individual worth $1,000 to the candidate. The $800 in additional money would come from the presidential campaign-fund checkoff on individual tax returns.
"Most Americans want to get back to a system that empowers small donors, rather than allows a few wealthy donors having substantial influence over the next president," Price said.
The bill also would eliminate spending limits on candidates and require presidential campaigns to disclose all individuals or groups that bundle contributions totaling more than $50,000 during a four-year election cycle.
Since a pivotal 2010 Supreme Court case, Udall said, the public financing system is no longer a realistic option for presidential candidates. The Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission bolstered the influence of so-called "super" political action committees and enabled candidates to receive large amounts of undisclosed donations from special interests, corporate entities and wealthy donors.
"Unfortunately, the Citizens United decision changed everything," Udall said. "We cannot roll back the Supreme Court's decision, but we can try and adapt the system Congress created in 1974 after Watergate to make it useful in this new era of big money and politics."
Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama opted out of the public financing system in the 2004 and 2008 elections. Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney have opted out in this year's election, as well.
In an interview, Price said the bill was a hard sell in Congress but that he remained optimistic, partly due to the necessity of campaign finance revisions in a post-Citizens United climate.
The bill is intended to prevent a scandal like Watergate. However, J. Michael Bitzer, the chair of the history and politics department at Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C., said he thought it would take a scandal like Watergate to create real change.
"It's hard to get people to do something until, unfortunately, they're shamed into it," he said. "It's a great idea, but I think the establishment in both parties will see the status quo, basically the Wild West of fundraising, much more viable than any new proposals at this time."

Hi everyone! Sorry for being so M.I.A. I was upset while doing this post 2 weeks ago because it was actually deleted on my blogger app. When I write something, and it will be deleted, your thought process will never be the same. But I guess I really have to move on and try to make this one again.
It is a hard thing for me to find the perfect boyfriend jeans because I have a pear shaped body, I was always told that wearing darker jeans is a must for my body type. The problem with boyfriend jeans is that I am always loving the super light washed jeans with lots of stitches and holes in it. I tried looking at Mango, Stradivarius and Zara but I could not find the perfect boyfriend jeans for me. It makes me look bigger.
I was so happy when I found the perfect boyfriend jeans at Cherryfic finds. What is so great about it is that it is on sale for only P500. That is why you better grab some boyfriend jeans asap!!!
I super love this look because I look cooler than what I really am!
When you are a busy mom, sometimes it is hard to look put-together and I love it when I have clothes that makes me confident as a woman.
The top I have is from my mom. it has been with me for 6 years already. The camo vest is from Forever 21 three years ago.
I like it that I am more confident now with wearing any kind of clothes because of being more aware with healthier choices with food and doing crossfit five times a week. It makes me feel like I am a super woman.

At times, it is nearly impossible to close our hall linen closet door because there are blankets and sheets tumbling out of it. I push and shove them in and then slam my back against the door hoping that everything stays in place. Below is object number forty-one, one of my absolute favourite items.

What Is Staging ?
Staging typically involves rearranging, decluttering and removing personal items within an owner-occupied home for sale. This helps buyers visualize themselves living in the home, highlights the key architectural features of the home and maximizes the homes perceived living space.
Staging creates a dynamic first impression of the property which assists prospective buyers to visualize furniture placement, room utilization, and enhancing the positive features in house construction, layout and design
An important distinction between staging and interior decorating, is that the goal of

Then I got a hold of these Magic Marble inks - I'll be demonstrating with them in the Smoothfoam booth at CHA this weekend. After practicing the technique of dipping Smoothfoam balls into the inks, I decided to kick it up a notch and dip a shoe form!
I used red, black and yellow inks, then after it was dry, I painted a swirly streak along one side with metallic glass paints. I used a small brush to tap texture into the gold paint that I filled into a black outline. I added some quick tester gems that I will replace soon with nicer Swarovski crystals. I think it turned out pretty cool!
Today is the first Monday of the month, which means it's time for a Designer Crafts Connection blog hop. Just click on the DCC logo here in my sidebar to hop forward or back to the next blog. Then look for the logo on their sidebar to continue on.

Many women come to forever yours lingerie to find their true bra size. Usually upon their first time visiting us, we ask what size they are currently wearing. Once they tell us, we ask, "Is that in U.S. sizing?" The response is usually a very confused look! Of course it is! Why the heck would Canadians be expected to understand U.K. sizing!? Well, the answer is simple, you're not, and 90% of women in North America are in the same spot as you! But fear not because today we are taking you to bra school. Before we understand U.K. Sizing, we need to understand U.S sizing. Doing it the other way around would be like having dessert before dinner! Let's save the best for last.
Many of you have probably visited large American chain lingerie shops, and some of you may have even gotten measured in these stores. 9 times out of 10, these stores will tell you you are a DD and most likely 2-4 inches larger around the ribs than you really are. Why would they do this you may ask? Simply put, it's because they don't have a size large or small enough to fit you properly. Understanding bra sizing takes months and even years to properly learn. (Our fit specialists go through 3 months of intensive training, but the learning doesn't end there!)
The number one quick fact that I can teach you here today that will make your life easier is this; there is no such thing as one cup size. What do I mean by this?
A woman wearing a 30D is standing beside a woman wearing a 42D, obviously their body size is completely different, but they are both in a D cup sized bra. Their breasts are most definitely not the same size! The band size of a bra effects the cup size. Every time you increase the band measurement, the cup increases in size as well. Are you still with me? I know, it's pretty confusing. Here is another example.
A lady goes into a North American chain lingerie store that carries bras that go up to a DD size cup. She measures 34 inches around her rib cage. The store clerk can see that her breasts look far too large to fit into a 34DD, but they try it on anyway and her breast tissue is spilling out all over the place. The clerk knows she doesn't have a cup larger than a DD, but she knows that in a 38DD, the cup is much larger and so they try that on. Perfect, (not really, but hey, she can only work with what she's got!). Now in the 38DD, all the woman's breast tissue is in the cup, so that must be her size right? Wrong, she is now in a bra that is 4 inches too big around which is the most important part of a supportive bra.
Wondering what your bra size is? Check out our UK Bra Size Calculator HERE!
When the band of a bra is not tight enough to anchor itself on your rib cage, you are losing lift and support. That's when you run into back pain, the bra shifting back and forth on your breast tissue causing discomfort, the dreaded underboob sweat, and a whole slew of other nasty problems. So what is the fix? Unfortunately in US sizing, there isn't one. But don't lose hope, fortunately in the U.K. they've got it all figured out!
Time for dessert! Here at Forever Yours Lingerie we carry up to an O cup in UK sizing. Usually when I tell people that, they say, "Like, O as in OMG!?" Yes! But when you understand that the band size effects the cup size, it isn't as scary as it sounds, and when you are in a properly sized bra and you look and feel amazing, who cares what the size tag reads!
U.K. Sizing is not some crazy different sizing scale. It's the same as US sizing, but with WAY more options to get the perfect fit. With having such a large range of cup sizes, it is easier to get your band size and proper cup size all in one! So remember that lady we were talking about that measured 34 around her ribs? It turns out, she should actually be wearing a 34G and not a 38DD! In U.K. sizing, a 34G exists and is actually a very common size!
Have an idea what your bra size is? Check out our Shop By Size Chart!
It is my hope that today's bra school session puts you more at ease when you shop with us and even when you shop North American stores. Understanding sizing, even on a small scale, will hopefully make your bra shopping experience that much better! And if it's all too much of a headache, well that's what we're here for! Come see us today!

Local environmental officials say the results suggest pollutants are blowing off the Koppers site. They want Beazer East, the company responsible for the cleanup, to further investigate the scope of off-site contamination.
For three decades, Sharon Sheets has lived three doors down from the Koppers Superfund site.
Over that time, she stopped growing vegetables in her yard and started shutting her windows.
They weren't easy steps for a vegetarian who lacks air conditioning, but she worried about toxic dust blowing from the site onto her property.
Now Sheets' fears seem to have been validated by a new round of testing in her northwest Gainesville neighborhood. The tests show arsenic and dioxins in the soil at levels exceeding state cleanup standards.
Sheets said the tests add to her frustrations over waiting for the site to be cleaned.
"It's still contaminated above ground and below ground," she said. "I just want more attention paid to it."
Local environmental officials say the results suggest pollutants are blowing off the property. They want Beazer East, the company responsible for the cleanup, to further investigate the scope of off-site contamination.
"We'd like to see some off-site sampling in the neighborhood to confirm what's out there," said John Mousa, pollution prevention manager for the Alachua County Environmental Protection Department.
Beazer is "still digesting" the results and has yet to make a decision about off-site testing, said Mitchell Brourman, an environmental manager for the Pittsburgh-based company.
At a recent neighborhood meeting, Brourman said the contamination doesn't pose a significant health threat.
"My advice would be grow your garden, but wash your vegetables off," he said.
The 90-acre site is contaminated with a mix of wood-treating chemicals called creosote. Creosote contains chemicals that have been shown to cause cancer, neurological disorders and reproductive problems.
In 1983, the property was placed in the federal Superfund cleanup program. Beazer East briefly owned the site and maintains legal responsibility for the cleanup.
The property is bordered by homes on the west near NW 6th Street and businesses on the east near N. Main Street. It is two miles south of the Murphree Well Field, which provides the city's drinking water.
In recent years, the threat to the well field has been the focus of cleanup efforts. Beazer has spent $7.5 million on the installation of 58 wells in the past two years to determine the scope of groundwater contamination.
The effort moved off site in recent months. Ten wells were installed in roads and on private properties near the site, intended to gauge whether contamination has spread outward.
The installation of the wells led to the discovery of soil contamination. A well drilled in September at the end of NW 26th Avenue accidentally damaged a sewer line, causing sewage to flow back into a nearby home.
"It was a nightmare for us," said Ron Rector, who lives in the home.
Gainesville Regional Utilities, concerned about worker safety, delayed replacing the line until testing was done of the surrounding soil. The testing found arsenic and dioxins at levels exceeding state cleanup standards.
Samples showed arsenic at levels up to 49 parts per million - or more than 20 times the residential cleanup standard. Dioxins were found at levels up to 50 parts per trillion - or more than seven times the residential cleanup standard .
Arsenic has been linked to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney, nasal passages, liver and prostate. Exposure to dioxins is associated with a wide range of health problems including impairment of the immune system and developmental disorders.
GRU is planning on replacing the line in the coming weeks and will conduct air monitoring to ensure the work doesn't pose a health problem, said John Gifford, the utility's wastewater collection system director.
The tests shouldn't alarm residents, said Scott Miller, remedial project manager for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Testing has yet to be done to establish the levels of the contaminants that could occur naturally or be caused by combustion or other sources, he said.
"Dioxins are everywhere," he said.
Mousa said exposure to dust doesn't pose a short-term health risk. But at this time, he said, environmental officials are simply asking for more testing before a cleanup plan is chosen.
"What we don't want is to have them miss what's happening off site," he said.
An EPA timeline has a cleanup plan being selected in 2009. Brourman said cleanup work on the surface could take another two to three years, but groundwater monitoring will continue indefinitely.
The site will likely never be clean to the level that would allow residential development there, he said.
"There will always be activity and use limitations associated with that property," he said.
For Sheets, such statements are a bitter pill to swallow. Since the site was placed in the Superfund program, she's followed the slow progress of the cleanup as she watched neighbors move due to concerns over the site.
Sheets, 56, suffers from respiratory problems that she worries could be caused or exacerbated by the site. But she said she has no plans to move.
"This is my home," she said.
She said she wants local elected officials to take a more active role in the cleanup. While she said the 2009 deadline for a cleanup plan is a good sign, she's already seen years of wasted efforts and delays.
"I think I will be dead and gone before anything gets done," she said.

Day 4
Winter in Korea, 2010
After breakfast, we took bus from the bus stop opposite his home to Busanjin Sijang - as Busanjin Sijang is the nearest interchange where we can ride on bus no.101 to our destination of the day--> Taejongdae.
While waiting for bus, I was excited to discover the benches along the street are marked "Bench Korea". Lol ..
It was a short ride from his house to Busanjin Sijang via bus. We alight at the bus stop opposite of Busanjin Market building and crossed the busy main road to Busanjin Sijang via a pedestrian overhead bride.
To be honest, I was a bit reluctant whenever he asked me to stop and posed so he could take photos for me at first, but later I am gladful the he took all those photos as it became very useful for me to blog.
Walking down from the overhead bridge, what welcome us is a busy morning market along the Busanjin Market building and we could smell foods immediately. Yeah smells of tteokbokki, odeng and hotteok!
This is the bus stop we gonna take bus no.101 to Taejongdae. While waiting for the bus to arrive, we look around the morning market and also did a short visit inside the Busanjin market building.
The morning market outside the building is sort of like temporarily set-up. Most sellers were ahjuma or grammas. This ahjuma is selling some kimchi side dish that I never see before.
Fresh seaweed, veggies to bean. I am surprise to see these grammas dress so thin in this cold winter morning.
Then, Beondaegi caught my attention! Beondegi (번데기) is a silkworm pupae, streamed or boiled and seasoned before eaten as snack. Usually it is selling in paper cup, 1 cup worth portion price at 2,000won to 3,000won. Oppa said he ate that alot when he was young, and it is good source of protein! Nah, I am not going to eat this for sure ..
Busanjin Market is a representative wholesale market in Busan - just like Dongdaemun Market in Seoul. Selling everything related to clothing, fabric, tailor materials and accessories. Especially the traditional costume - Hanbok. All kinds of hanbok can be purchase or tailor here - for living, wedding, special occasion or even death use. The Market established in 1913, has transformed from a traditional market into modern shopping building with escalators, elevators and amenities inside.
Beautiful Hanbook which display behind the building large window frame! I love this hanbok design. The price for a woman's Hanbok generally begins at 150,000 won for both the top and bottom. While man's Hanbok begins somewhere in the range of 150,000~300,000 won including the top, bottom, vest, and coat.
Price is vary depending on the embroidery and material. The more elaborate the embroidery and fine quality of material, the more the price increases. Children's Hanbok is popular for its relatively affordable price.
The entire family members Hanbok collection (from Parents to kids).
Inside the Busanjin Market - it has about 400 stores inside this 5 storey building. Ground floor and 1st floor mainly selling Korean traditional items from clothes (hanbok, robe& it's accessories), fabrics, home deco (bed clothes, quilts, curtain, folding screen), handicrafts, knots and etc.
2nd floor and 3rd floor selling modern living wear for men, women and kids; from underwear, sportswear, dress, working uniform, shoes and bags and accessories. Modern hanbok can be find here too. While 4th floor is office, parking lots and amenities.
Inside the building is bursting with tiny shops clustered closely to each other. You can judge the size of each store from the shop name signboard display above the ceiling. Busanjin Market is also famous for specialized in necessary goods for marriage life - from clothes (hanbok), shoes, bedding, to bride's gift (food) for her parents in law and some other food stuffs can be find here.
It is an interesting place to visit and to buy traditional souvenirs. Do spare longer hour here if you wish to explore more. For your information: The market open from 7am till 7.30pm. Closed every 1st and 3rd Sunday. More info, visit their website: http://www.busanjinmart.co.kr/
How to get there:
[By subway] Busan Metro Line 1 - Boemil-dong Station Exit no.1 - head straight and walk about 5 mins to reach Busanjin Market.
[By bus] From Busan Station, bus no.167, 40, 43, 101, 134 to Busanjin Market
