A popular but complicated website was crashing repeatedly, preventing users from shopping and creating a public relations disaster that threatened to undermine the organization behind the site and its leader.
To fix the site, the leader brought in a prominent technologist who rolled out new servers, changed the web host and installed a new backup system — all while the site was still running. Within months, it was stable.
That site? EBay (EBAY). Its savior? Maynard Webb, now the chairman of Yahoo (YHOO).
Webb's role in rescuing eBay at the turn of the millennium made him a Silicon Valley hero. Not only did he help save then-CEO Meg Whitman's job, he arguably saved eBay itself.
So maybe it's time for President Obama to give Webb a call.
Since it launched Oct. 1, HealthCare.gov, which is the centerpiece of Obama's health reform law, has been plagued by problems. Many users have been unable to access the site, and many of those who have been able to access it haven't been able to register, the first step in shopping for and buying health insurance.
At a Congressional hearing Thursday, the government contractors who built the website blamed its problems in part on its inherent complexity; it has to communicate with the databases of dozens of insurance carriers and those of numerous federal government agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service. They also complained of a lack of testing. Sitewide testing didn't begin until about two weeks before HealthCare.gov launched.
Outside observers, though, put the blame on the contractors themselves and the clunky code they created.
In an op-ed column Friday for The New York Times that was critical of HealthCare.gov, Clay Johnson and Harper Reed, two technologists with close ties to the Obama administration, noted a recent study that found that 94 percent of government information technology projects over the past 10 years were delayed, overbudget, didn't meet expectations or flat-out failed. They attributed that stunningly poor track record in large part to the government procurement process.
Because bidding on government contracts is subject to so many rules, the companies that win them — whether for building websites or roads — tend to be "those that can navigate the regulations best, but not necessarily do the best job," said Johnson and Reed.
President Obama has put Jeffrey Zients, the former acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, in charge of fixing the site, aided by what the president described as the "best and the brightest" in technology. Then on Friday, the government named a new general contractor to spearhead the rescue effort.
But there are reasons to doubt those steps will quickly fix the site. Zients is a management consultant by trade, not a technologist. And the new general contractor, Quality Software Services, is one of the same companies that helped develop the site in the first place.
So maybe it's time to turn to a simpler solution, such as bringing in a technologist with a track record of resurrecting complex sites. Someone like Webb, even though he's a registered Republican. The health care website has to deal with heavy traffic, just like eBay. HeathCare.gov has to register and verify visitors and help them shop for and purchase products, just like eBay. And HealthCare.gov, just like eBay, has to tap into multiple databases inside and outside the organization.
"If you think about it, (HealthCare.gov) is just a big e-commerce website," said John Engates, chief technology officer of Rackspace, a web hosting company.
The job of salvaging HealthCare.gov could be much easier than what Webb faced at eBay or, more recently, what Twitter's engineers faced when they had to deal with frequent website crashes there, said Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of CloudFlare, which helps companies deal with unexpected web traffic. The number of people who sign up for Twitter over just a few days likely exceeds the total number of people who will register for HealthCare.gov, Prince said.
Bringing in an outside technology expert, someone who understands how a site like this should work, would be a good way to solve the problem, said Engates.
I'm not the only one who thinks Webb would be the ideal person for the job. Last Sunday, Jeff Weiner, LinkedIn's CEO, tweeted that Webb "saved eBay from serious scaling issues" and suggested that "he could do the same for HealthCare.gov."
Webb politely begged off, tweeting in response that his wife "would kill me." But it's one thing to decline a suggestion made on Twitter. It's another thing to say no when the president is on the phone.
Here's hoping Obama makes the call.

Joe Wood needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 310 designs submitted by 64 freelance designers.
La Terrazza OR Nico's (best logo decides the name)
The Lion Quays Waterside resort has an 85 bedroom hotel, conference facilities, country club and truly outstanding spa. The established hotel restaurant (The Waterside) sits alongside the canal serving more traditional English fayre. We plan to open a new second restaurant in the new year specialising in classic Italian cuisine.
We think it's important to offer the 2,000 guests who visit us each week a genuine choice in terms of where they want to eat. As the new restaurant is situated at the country club then guests need to be motivated to make that extra effort to visit. The restaurant is modern and brand new - but is the kind of place that people feel at home in.
We are looking for a logo which invites guests in and will convert easily to the menus and collateral:
1. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold.
2. We want something that stands out on signage.
3. We want something that can be printed easily on uniforms and menus
Please feel free to experiment with colours!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

Brakettes play game benefiting Sandy Hook Elementary
SANDY HOOK BENEFIT: On Friday night, the Stratford Brakettes softball team will play at 7 p.m. against Raiders Gold to benefit Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary, the school that was victimized by a shooting in December of last year. The game will be at DeLuca Field in Stratford.
Concessions, shirts, bracelets and other fundraisers will benefit the Sandy Hook school. Admission is $5.
Fans are encouraged to wear green and white honoring the 26 who died in the shooting.


text: The Philadelphia Eagles released the former All-Pro wide receiver DeSean Jackson Friday. The Long Beach Poly graduate had 82 catches for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns last season. But the Eagles had looked for a trade this week and didn't find one. Jackson was to be paid $10.5 million next season. At the same time, media reports were released detailing Jackson's "connections" to gangs, although no illegal activity was shown. Here's what you need to know about the story.

I never had the Mets getting any of the big pitchers, like John Lackey and Roy Halladay, but would settle for a middle-tier arm such as Joel Pineiro, Marquis and Jon Garland.
It's not that they didn't get Marquis that is so disturbing, but for how cheaply he went (maybe that does tell you something), but the Mets needed any and all pitching help.
My confidence level in the Mets bringing in an arm of substance is waning, especially considering the news that ESPN is reporting they are considering bringing back Pedro Martinez to a one-year deal at $8 million.
I keep going back in my mind Jeff Wilpon's vow after the season and Omar Minaya's pronouncement "we have a plan."
Think it might be a good time to hear it.

With Ensign's brother Malcolm Smith and his wife Verna.
Ensign and Ella with Lynn in the back ground
At Myrle's Wedding
Grandma had lots of flowers at Whitlock Ave.
"The smell of blooming iris reminds me of my grandma."
Sarah Wooding Smith was born 13 Aug. 1797, and christened 3 Sep. 1797, at Emberton, Buckinghamshire, England. Her parents Lord James Woodin (Wooding) and Mary Dainton, both lived to see this daughter marry, join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and come to America.
Sarah had five brothers and one sister of record: John, William, James, Samuel, Mark and Nancy Wooding.
Sarah Wooding married Daniel William Smith, 10 July 1815, Emberton, Buckinghamshire, England. Daniel and Sarah had seven children of record and were the parents of our illustrious ancestor Samuel Smith. Sarah was baptized according to her christening record 3 Sept. 1797, as was the custom of the Christian Churches; but she was baptized by the Elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Oct. 1841, in England.
The Daniel Smiths and family members came to America at the same time their son Samuel Smith and his wife Mary Ann Line and small daughter departed from Liverpool, England, 15 Jan. 1843 - with Nauvoo as their objective residence.
Daniel Smith, Sarah's husband died before they left for Utah, probably in the State of Iowa. [Correction: Daniel William SMITH died 10 Sep 1845 in Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinios] His death date is recorded as 10 Sept. 1845. I here note that Samuel and Mary lost twin girls and they were buried (1846) at Mt. Pisga [sic], or later called Talmage, Iowa.
It is recorded that she came to Utah in 1848. So Sarah Wooding Smith is another Utah Pioneer and should be numbered among its valiant, immortal women. It appears that Sarah established her home in Salt Lake Co. with members of her family, still living with her.
This, I remember my grandmother, Frances Ann Ingram Smith saying concerning Sarah Wooding Smith, "She will always be remembered by the people in the Salt Lake City Communities - in her 'time' for her CHARITY toward the poor, the homeless, and the weary and broken-hearted as they pioneered their way into this Rocky Mountain Retreat. It was at her home that the Ingram (Ingraham) orphans: Richard, Sarah Jane, and Frances Ann, found shelter, food and love." So this precious lady became a mother to her future daughter-in-laws; while they were yet young children.
Frances Ann further stated, "Mother Smith was noted for her ability and understanding of the proper methods to be used in sanitation and the prevetation of contagious diseases being transferred throughout the community. She had the much cherished ability to care for and understand the ill, the depressed and to sympathize with those called to mourn the loss of a love one."
She had an exceptional good-humored disposition, a remarkable memory, a wonderful education - could tell jokes to fit every occasion and they always finished with a good and proper standard.
This and the following were compiled in 1960-61.
I found Sarah Wooding Smith's name in the pamphlet 'Through The Years' (Fourth and Eighth Ward, Brigham City, Utah, 1953...p. 51 - listed as a pioneer, a native of London, England, date came to Utah - actually meant to Brigham City settlement - 1861. She was probably living with her grand-daughter or visiting there with Nancy Ann Turpin Higley.
Signed: Amy Smith H. Empey
Aunt Beatrice Smith Weeks Olney Larsen, laughing and joking once remarked that she had heard it said, "Grandmother Sarah Smith was the world's worst cook, being inclined to make everything so that it ended up in the form of a stew." It is believable, since they had very little food and her house being a home for the needy "where the floors such as they were, became the beds for many" so stew would be the item of food always on the stove and ready to eat.
Little else is known about this pioneer woman, this great Female Relief Society worker.
These simple lines would exemplify the principles that guided this stockily built personality, and 'SHE LIVES TODAY' here in the characters of thousands of her descendants. She is as alive today in the world beyond as she ever was in her greatest surge of activity, here upon this earth.
Sarah Smith died at the age of 68 years, 26 Nov. 1865 and was buried in Salt Lake City, Utah.
- Feb. 5, 1961
Compiler - Amy S. Hancock
[The following is] to be added to substantiate the history of Sarah as compiled by Amy Smith Hancock, (1961). By Virga May Holst Harding, gr. grand-daughter of Samuel's sister Louisa Jane Smith Turpin (Mrs. Jesse Turpin) and a gr. gr. grdtr. of Sarah W. Smith. Mrs. Harding is a historian of the Brigham City, Utah area. 26 Aug. 1962
Sarah Wooding Smith was the daughter of Lord James and Mary Dainton Wooding (Woodin or Woodding) of England. She was highly educated and her people were very wealthy. Sarah studied the profession of medicine and surgery. When she married Daniel Smith her folks felt that she was marrying below her station in life and their standards and wealth so they disinherited her.
Sarah W. Smith came to Utah (not with her son Samuel and family) but with her daughter and son-in-law Louisa Jane Smith and Jesse Turpin; 20 Sept. 1848 in the 2nd. Co. of Brigham Young. So she was one of the very first Doctors and Surgeons in Utah. Although the Utah History does not chronicle same.
Sarah's grand-daughter Nancy Ann Turpin (Higley) at the age of 12 yrs. helped her with a serious operation by handling the necessary instruments and bandages etc. to this brave nurse and doctor Sarah W. Smith, who took a large portion of the crushed skull form a man's head, which was laying against the brain, removed it and inserted a silver-plate. The man recovered and lived to an old age. Nancy assisted her a great many times in various cases. - - Virga Holst Harding.
From the Booklet 'Through the Years' Eighth Ward, Brigham City,m page 51, (1953) we find Sarah Wooding Smith's name as a pioneer and the date given as coming to Utah 1861 when in reality she came to Brigham City about that time. On page 50 of the same booklet is found Nancy Ann Turpin Higley and her husband Daniel Lee Higley. He is listed as coming in 1861. They are the grandparents of Virga Holst Harding.
Daniel and Sarah Smith and their Son Samuel Smith, had their Patriarchal Blessings the same day, place and from the same Patriarch. 5 Aug. 1845 - Nauvoo, Ill. and Pat. John Smith. #987-988-989; Vol. 9 pages 332 and 333. Daniel Smith owned and payed taxes on property in Nauvoo, Ill. a description is on the records. Daniel died one month and 5 days after his patriarchal blessing so he must have been buried in Nauvoo, Ill. His death date is listed as 10 Sept. 1845. Daniel was ordained a High Priest during his life-time and after joining the Church.
Sarah Wooding Smith trained her son Samuel to set bones to make and prepare medicine, to care for the dead and taught him the laws of sanitation.
I have taken a picture of Sarah Wooding Smith's grave marker and some of the markers in the same lot - her dtr., grand-children (Turpins) grt, gr. chl. the Budd's and one son of Samuel and Mary Ann Line Smith - the first buried on the lot in 1855. Sarah was the 2nd buried there. June Jensen Cavalli took me to S. L. Cemetery to take the picture 28 Aug. 1962.

Bank Robber Caught With Help Of Crime Stoppers Tip Sent To Prison
McALLEN, Texas – Palmview resident Erick Lee Chiu, 22, has been ordered to federal prison following his conviction of robbing the International Bank of Commerce in McAllen, announced United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson. Chiu entered a plea of guilty March 5, 2013.
Today, Chief United States District Judge Ricardo H. Hinojosa, who accepted the guilty plea, handed Chiu a sentence of 92 months and was ordered to pay restitution. At the hearing, the IBC Bank representative advised that the teller from whom Chiu demanded the money was so traumatized from the robbery that she had to leave her position with the bank. Chiu will be required to serve a term of three years of supervised release following completion of the prison term.
On Sept. 16, 2012, Chiu, trying to conceal his identity, walked into the International Bank of Commerce wearing a wig and handed the teller a note demanding money. The note threatened that he had a gun, but that no one would be hurt as long as they did not call the police. Bank tellers handed Chiu the money and he fled the bank before law enforcement arrived.
Through a McAllen Crime Stoppers Tip the following day, police were able to identify Chiu as the bank robber. He was subsequently arrested and the money was recovered.
He has been in custody since Nov. 17, 2012, and will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.
The FBI investigated the case along with the McAllen Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristen J. Rees is prosecuting the case.

Dear Mr. Dad: My wife is Japanese, I'm white, and our daughter is biracial. When I'm out with her in public, strangers are constantly stopping me to ask what country we adopted her from. (Interestingly, my wife tells me this never happens to her.) I feel like wearing a button that says, "No, you jerk, my child isn't adopted!" Is there some way I can get people to stop asking me this irritating question?
DEAR READER: More and more people these days are describing themselves as biracial. In fact, according to 2010 Census data, the number of biracial and multiracial people is up 50 percent since 2000 (that's when the Census Bureau first gave the option to check more than one "race" box.) Theoretically, that should mean that over time, biracial children will be less of a novelty. In the meantime, you'll still have to deal with insensitive (and/or ignorant) people.
While the questions you're fielding are definitely irritating, only a very small percentage or people are asking out of racism. Most really mean no harm — it's their way of admiring your daughter. Some have boundary issues (these are the same people who have no problem coming up to a pregnant woman they don't know and rubbing her belly). And some weren't paying attention when their parents tried to give them the "think-before-you-open-your-mouth" lesson. They're not bad people, just a bit clueless.
That said, your frustration is understandable. Still, the most important thing you can do is stay calm. When you're out in public, there's no way to keep people from asking you questions, whether it's about where you got your hair cut or the ice cream cone you're eating or whether or not your child is adopted.
Don't feel that your job is to educate people about race (or manners). Taking on that responsibility will just add to your stress level. With that in mind, the easiest thing to do is calmly say something like, "No, my child isn't adopted. My wife is Japanese and our daughter is biracial." That'll clear things up for anyone who genuinely wanted to know about adoption and will probably make anyone with less-than-positive intentions feel a little silly.
As annoying as these questions are, they give you a wonderful opportunity to discuss the issue with your daughter. You might point out that she's getting all the extra attention because she's unique — and that being unique is a good thing (this is the same conversation I have with my youngest daughter, who's constantly approached by people asking her, "Where'd you get the red hair?") You could also mention that Barack Obama — even though he identifies as black — has a white mother and is just as biracial as your daughter.
No matter how these questions make you feel, keep the anger, resentment, frustration and whatever else out of your voice and body language. If you respond in any kind of negative way, your daughter will feel that you think there's something wrong with her or that being biracial is a bad thing. That's a message you never want to send. Ever. She'll also use your behavior as a model for how to react when people inevitably start approaching her directly instead of going through you.
As parents, we can't keep people from asking us questions about our kids, especially if they're cute and charming. Your No. 1 priority is your daughter's well-being and making sure she has a positive perception of herself. That's a lot more important than educating or scolding some random person that you meet and will probably never see again.

Brain research is key to math education
Dr. John Almarode
"I'm not good at math." "My brain's not wired to understand math." "I'm artistic, so I can't learn math."
All myths, says Dr. John Almarode, assistant professor in James Madison University's Department of Early, Elementary and Reading Education and co-writer, with Ann M. Miller of Waynesboro Public Schools, of "Captivate, Activate, and Invigorate the Student Brain in Science and Math, Grades 6-12."
"Everyone is capable of doing math," Almarode says. "You're born with certain natural abilities to process numbers, and numbers are a way we communicate." Indeed, math is essential for survival.
"As we evolved, we had to know developmentally that there was one woolly mammoth, there are two saber-toothed tigers, there are six people in my family and I have this much food. So there are certain quantitative reasoning skills that have evolved in our brains over time," Almarode said. "Where it starts to become based on experience and not natural talent are the more complex quantitative reasoning skills."
That's where early and better education comes in. "When students say, 'I'm not good at math,' it's actually that their skill set wasn't developed," Almarode said.
Almarode will share strategies from his book and from his own teaching experience with fellow educators during the Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics annual state conference, which will be held at JMU March 14-15.
The conference, focusing on the theme "Unlocking the Mathematical Mind," is expected to draw nearly 1,000 attendees from all over Virginia, according to conference chair Dr. LouAnn Lovin, professor of mathematics education at JMU. Participants include prekindergarten through 12th-grade teachers, mathematics curriculum supervisors, and community college and four-year university professors.
Almarode is joining three other featured speakers. Linda Gojak, president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, will present "Reasoning and Making Sense in Teaching and Learning Mathematics, the Most Important Standard!" Stephen Bismarck, assistant professor of mathematics education at the University of South Carolina Upstate, will present "Inquiry-Based Teaching and Learning in the Mathematics Classroom" and Michael Bolling, director of the Office of Mathematics and Governor's Schools, Virginia Department of Education, will present "The Importance of Connections and Reasoning in the Mathematics Classroom."
Almarode's presentation, "Unlock Young Minds in Mathematics by Engaging Their Brains," will offer educators strategies they can try right away in their classrooms. Among his "lessons" from current brain research are three fundamental rules. "Our brains learn from simple to complex, not the other way around. We also learn from concrete to abstract. We only remember what we think about." Along the way, he will give teachers tools for adding novelty and relevance to lessons to help students overcome their own myths of math.
"I like to offer information on how the brain works, strategies and the 'why' so teachers can adapt strategies to his or her own classroom – the one they know best."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) ? Notable moments from the GOP presidential debate Thursday night in Jacksonville, Fla., just days before the state's Jan. 31 primary:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Notable moments from the GOP presidential debate Thursday night in Jacksonville, Fla., just days before the state's Jan. 31 primary:
Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney had their sharpest exchange when Gingrich said Romney was the most anti-immigrant candidate in the GOP field. Romney responded indignantly, reminding Gingrich that Romney's father, George, was born in Mexico.
"The idea that I'm anti-immigrant is repulsive," Romney fired at Gingrich.
"Don't use a term like that. You can say we disagree on certain policies, but to say that enforcing the U.S. law to protect our borders, to welcome people here legally, to expand legal immigration, as I have proved, that that's somehow anti anti-immigrant is simply the kind of over-the-top rhetoric that has characterized American politics too long."
Romney also asked Gingrich for an apology for an ad Gingrich recently pulled from airwaves that attacked Romney on immigration policy. Gingrich didn't offer one.
Gingrich's proposal for a permanent American colony on the moon was mocked by Romney, who said Gingrich is developing a pattern of pandering to local voters. "If I had a business executive come to me and say I want to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon, I'd say, 'You're fired,"' said Romney, a former businessman.
He then noted Gingrich's calls for a new interstate highway in South Carolina, a new VA hospital in northern New Hampshire, and widening the port of Jacksonville to accommodate the larger ships that will soon be able to transit the Panama Canal. Romney said promises like that were what had caused a massive budget deficit in the first place.
Gingrich defended himself saying he'd find plenty of things to cut and shouldn't be mocked for setting priorities. "You don't just have to be cheap everywhere. You can actually have priorities to get things done," he said.
Asked what their wives would bring to the position of first lady, the candidates were happy to gush about their better halves.
Paul, married for 54 years, says he's got an anniversary coming up next week. He also plugged his wife's work as an author — of "The Ron Paul Cookbook."
Romney praised his wife for battling multiple sclerosis and breast cancer. "She is a real champion and a fighter," he said.
Gingrich said he's met each of the candidates' wives and said they'd all be "terrific first ladies." He says his wife, Callista, would bring a tremendous artistic focus and would be a strong advocate for music and music education.
Rick Santorum says his wife is "my hero" because she gave up a successful career.
to help raise their seven children.
Santorum got a big applause line when he introduced his mom, 93-year-old Catherine Santorum. During the debate's introductions Santorum said he was glad to have his mother at the debate. And, it turns out, she can help turn out the vote for her son — she is a north Florida resident. When she stood up to be recognized, the debate hall gave her loud applause.
Even before the debate started a rowdy, Paul-supporting crowd at the University of North Florida debate site shouted jeers toward the Transportation Security Administration. The anti-TSA chants came days after Paul's son, GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, was stopped by security at the Nashville airport when a scanner set off an alarm and Paul declined to allow a security officer to pat him down.
Police escorted Paul away, but allowed him to board a later flight.
Ron Paul has already used his son's experience to promote his "Plan to Restore America," which would cut $1 trillion of federal spending in a year and eliminate the TSA. He has said the incident reflects that the "police state in this country is growing out of control."

2008 Melges 17 National Championship In Full Swing On Lake Geneva
27 September 2008
It's no a secret that the Melges 17 sportboat is a lot of fun to sail and offers up a great opportunity to partake in some very competitive racing. This weekend, hosted by the Lake Geneva Yacht Club (LGYC), the Melges 17 will enjoy its fourth U.S. National Championship on the beautiful waters of Lake Geneva, Wisc.
2008 is set to be equally as exciting as the previous three where in 2005 & 2006 Art Brereton won back-to-back titles. In 2007 the fleet traveled to Crystal Lake ultimately won by Iggy Labanauskas. Both will be in attendance, dueling for yet another shot at taking home the title. Others to keep an eye out on is Mary Anne Ward, Bill Wiggins and definitely Ken Wruk with a somewhat home court advantage. Six races are scheduled over the intense two-day series with no throw outs.
The Melges 17 Class has gradually noticed the increasing number of youth teams jumping into the mix. Matt Ripkey, Coye Harrett and Hannah Ripkey are all sailing in Lake Geneva, with a multiple of others rumored to appear.
Friday was spent practicing followed by a fun, welcome cocktail party at LGYC. Saturday, the fleet has plans to hold an official Class AGM (Annual General Meeting) then follow it up with a really fun National Championship Party on the same evening.
Look for Melges Performance Sailboats to be in full force and onsite for support — Harry Melges, Andy Burdick, Charlie Harrett and Jamie Kimball will all be in attendance. The Melges 20 will also be in attendance as this will be the first time for many to see and sail it.
Stay tuned to this website as full race reports, results and photos will posted here as they are made available.

These are great bohemian and artisan earrings for casual everyday wear
As with all jewellery from My Cherry Pie these earrings will be delivered to you in an exquisite little cotton linen gift bag which has beed hand stamped ready for you to give or receive as a memorable gift .
Emerald Green Handmade Copper Enamel Earrings
Holey Moley
Individually handcrafted Copper enamel earrings. I have designed and made these earrings using copper and enamel powders which I have fired in my studio to create a range of intense and appealing colours.
Every pair is distinct due to the nature of the enamelling process. Earring drop 4cm including copper earwire.
Jewellery Enamel is a surface treatment on copper where glass powder is heated to a high temperature and fused on to metal creating a unique translucency of colour.
I use a small electric kiln to create my enamel pieces and colour is built up in layers on the surface , it only takes a few minutes for the enamel to melt and I enjoy the effect heat has on the surface and the creative scope for designing and working with colour in this way.

The Dark Side
The Cave Sandstone of Mooihoek Mountain is capped by a thick layer of dolerite with its characteristic abundance of uniform, vertical cracks. On the Harrismith (west) side of Mooihoek, towering above the campsite, the band of dolerite is known as the Dark Side. Several impressive multi-pitch trad routes located here and there is excellent new route potential in this area for energetic climbers. From the campsite follow road south east, just before arriving at the Bosduif Chalet go up the grassy slope on the right. Take an almost straight line to the cliffs, aiming for the obvious black water streak, to the left of this is 'Rhyme..' and right of this is 'Use the Force' and 'Under African Sun'.
Crag Photo
Route List
The Dark Side Routes from Left to Right
|Rhyme of the Ancient Climber
|FA: Jacques Raubenheimer and Hennie van Zyl (1999)
|The dolerite layer overlooking the Mooihoek camp site has a prominent black water-streak running down the face. About 10m to the left of this is a smaller streak with a big overhanging nose about 50m up. The route starts below this nose.
1. 19 (10m) Just left of the smaller streak is a column of rock with a crack just left of the inside corner. Climb this crack to the top of the column.
2. 18 (30m) Climb straight up to the overhangs and pass them on the left. Beware of loose blocks. Continue up to two ledges. The top one is heavily vegetated and is just left of, and a little below the nose. The second ledge is smaller and about 2m lower, but provides a good belay.
3. 16 (15m) Climb the heavily vegetated crack and then move out left to a large ledge.
4. 18 (25m) From the left of the big ledge climb the crack to the top.
|Use the Force
|FA: Richard Pike and Adam Beaven (16 September 2002)
|This route is located at a continuous crack to the right of the prominent black water streak mentioned under the RD for the previous route.
1. 22 (20m) Climb the chimney / crack to an awkward move where it narrows (pull on a wobbly flake!). Belay on a ledge to the right.
2. 21 (20m) Climb the superb flake / crack to a belay ledge.
3. 25 (20m) Hard. Follow the crack on superb jams and finger locks with excellent gear to a hard crux sequence. A fixed runner was used as aid on the first ascent. The first free ascent awaits!
Comments: Pitches 1. and 2. can be linked. A 60m ab gets you back down – be careful ! The first ascentionists were UK climbers of the 'Hot Rock Global Challenge Team'.
|Under the African Sun
|FA: Richard Pike and Caroline Graham-Brown (12 September 2002)
|This route is located some way (?!) to the right of 'Use the Force' near the centre of the buttress. Start to the left of a rock scar below an obvious jamming crack.
1. 22 (35m) Follow ledges up to the crack and enter this with some difficulty. Sustained crack climbing leads to a face and a belay ledge on the right.
2. 21 (35m) Continue up the crack to the left of the belay ledge to reach a final wide crack which continues up for another 20m - a #4 Friend is useful. Finish on a ledge with a block belay just to the right of a rock formation that looks like a baboon's head from below.
Comments: Superb jamming. A 60m ab gets you back down – be careful ! The first ascentionists were UK climbers of the 'Hot Rock Global Challenge Team'.

Architect Ari Leinonen's design for a floating sauna has captured the mystical quality of the traditional Finnish sauna in an innovative floating form-a floating structure of timber that blends the modern with the traditional. The design has recently been nominated for the Swedish timber-building prize 2006.
The sauna design has been publicized internationally and now the first prototype is on show at Biskopsudden marina close to the centre of Stockholm. Born with a natural empathy for the Finnish sauna experience, where every sauna is considered a pleasure, architect Ari Leinonen has realized a lifelong quest and in so doing has answered the question: Where do I site my dream sauna? The answer: As close to water as possible is the ideal, so that it's just to short step from the sauna for that all important cooling dip."I looked for a sauna design solution at my parents summerhouse in the Archipelago outside Stockholm, and then I realized that this solution was a potentially exciting idea for others" says Ari Leinonen. The sauna is built on a floating pontoon, which can easily be towed to any proposed site
with access to water. The sauna building is made of solid timber formed using laminated wood technology. The timber is stained black externally with natural untreated timber internally. The external color helps accentuate the sauna's mystical qualities. The sauna is manufactured in three sizes: small (five person), medium (ten person), and large (fifteen person). The plan allows for separate changing, washing and sauna rooms. The sloping rear wall to the sauna room provides an extremely comfortable sitting position, while the generous volume allows the heat to be soft and relaxing. The thoughtfully designed window allows natural light into the sauna while enabling relaxing, tranquil views of the surrounding water and dappled reflections. The external form offers natural protection from the breeze after enjoying a cooling post sauna dip.

When avant-garde electronic music crosses over from gallery spaces, Arts Council-subsidised performance venues, specialist magazines and blogs to the larger collective consciousness, you sometimes have to wonder which comes first: the chin-stroking conceptual framework that vastly extends (and sometimes seems to generate) such lengthy reviews, or some irreducible quality that writhes and morphs beneath the critical gaze, and will keep us scrutinizing this strange beast for years to come.
To be clear: this is not a concern I have previously had with Tim Hecker in five years of heavy rotation, and raving to everyone that An Imaginary Country (2009) is so damn good, this is how it must have felt to hear Another Green World in 1975, or the second sides of Meddle (1971) and Low (1977). Nor is this the beginning of a hatchet-job, since Virgins is highly recommended; four stars; 8.1; etcetera. It just happens that there is a conceptual framework, and a whole lot of context, I can't put out of mind just yet, that stands in the way of the thing itself.
For more than ten years, Hecker has been one of the world's finest sound sculptors, working at the interface of electronic and acoustic music. He's in the same league as Ben Frost, Daniel Lopatin, and Aidan Baker, all of whom he's literally been in league with, so it seems churlish to rank them further. Taking the heavily processed sounds of pianos, synths, woodwinds, and (on recent albums) church organs, Hecker layers up dense soundscapes whose tectonic plates seem to be shift and crash beneath turbulent weather systems, complete with storms, aurora borealis, and towering clouds. These are places you can explore, and decode, and get lost, and encounter the Void, or encounter yourself in a Solaris-like mirror of the Id… or simply turn down the dial for some soothing ambience, as Eno-intended.
The earliest albums, Haunt Me, Haunt Me, Do It Again (2001) and Mirages (2004) managed to be spectral without being slight, each track like a shape seen through fog, almost but never quite resolving into melody. With Harmony in Ultraviolet (2006) Hecker adopted a kind of beat-less alternative to rhythm: the simple yet brilliant effect of cutting out sounds abruptly, whether by rapid fades from drones that had been building to crescendo, the unheimlich combination of maximum attack (applied to relatively natural sounds) but no decay, or increasing the distortion until the speakers spit and crackle at the listener, but with the pattern or pulse in the incidence of effects rather than the drone to which they're applied.
Virgins is not a dramatic departure from Harmony, Imaginary, or Ravedeath 1972 (2011); the latter being where a new wave of listeners came in (obligatory mention here of its Juno Award; Canada's substantially hipper accolade than, say, the Mercury Award). Ever exploring, bridging the past and future, Hecker puts the virginal centre-stage – a primitive harpsichord that provides a more percussive, irregular clatter, for a tumbling, shimmering cascade of notes. As 'Radiance' acknowledges, this is territory explored on the classic Eno-production Ambient 2: Day of Radiance (1980), filtered through Hecker's own methods (although the track itself reverts to a more serene wash of woodwinds).
What's also happened since the last album is a dalliance with Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix, namely Instrumental Tourist (2012), that merged their respective MOs and, apparently, their copious drug stashes. As readers of DiS and its kindred-sites will know, Lopatin has generated some of the most feverish theory in the history of hackdom, for his resuscitation of the most ersatz tones of early electronica. His disruptive collision of textures, and manipulation of synth-sounds so critically reviled (or just cheesey) as to be abject, has made Lopatin a critical darling, and his choice of vocal samples as a substitute for beats resembles Hecker's own technique. To criticize an experimental artist for doing too much is like criticizing a rainbow for clashing with itself – and it would unfair to fault him for borrowing from a fellow-traveller – but in a few places it feels like Hecker has taken the least successful aspects of Lopatin, making a few tracks more like the remix of a great record than the great record itself. That's to say, he comes close to enacting the sonic abomination of the Eighties (the gimmicky whooshes of 'Prism', the parping synth-horns on 'Virginal II') rather than bringing the sounds of different eras into a meaningful dialogue, as on 'Live Room' with its jagged rips across the canvas (Ben Frost's signature sound) that have their own intrinsic beauty rather than some meta-significance we can take or leave.
Another essential release then, but a step towards theory-over-content that Hecker never really needed.

Please read through this event description to the end! Most of your questions are answered in this event description. There are also many different paths to Real Estate Investing. This description tells about the type we focus on. If this method isn't of interest, then this may not be for you.
At no time will you be told you have to spend money. Example: you will be given a a PDF file, showing an overview of the pros and cons of the various types of businesses, and their advantages (like for taxes). However, you do not need to spend the money to create a business. You can opt do everything as yourself, aka, a "sole proprietorship." Note: we do not provide financial or legal advise. You must consult your own professionals, who know your situation.
The amount of time you devote is based around your life. You may start off slow and small, and build your way up.
We'll start you off with learning how to find properties. You are not going to focus on the MLS. Your focus is on FSBOs (for sale by owners). You will be calling owners, and asking a set of questions that we will provide you with, to find out about these homes: Why they're selling, repairs needed, and so forth. If you have difficulties in making phone calls, then this probably isn't for you.
First, you learn how to find properties, and the locations you can find them at. We work nationwide, so we'll provide you with info to look for deals locally, and provide you leads to work, locally/nationally.
We will also go over real estate investing terms. This includes how to find both the rough values of properties (not just the appraisal value of a house), and how much investors will offer. This is know as ARV, and MAO. All of this information are guidelines.
Once you have an understanding of the terms and how to apply the information, we come to how you can fund your deals. Remember that "Cash is King." You will learn how you can tell the owners that you are buying their home for cash. This is how you may buy with "no money down." This applies to the term known as wholesaling. This is not "buy and hold" for any length of time. We have investors who buy nationwide, in most areas. After we've completed deals, you can continue to JV, for 50/50, or work on building your own list of buyers, and go on your own.
Our main focus is property scouting and wholesaling. This is the basics. If, after working with us, you decide you want to move on to flipping or land-lording, you can move onto that, but it will be on your own.
All of this is done remotely. There will be an initial, informal interview, phone call. For the most part, we'll be communicating via email. Additional phone calls will be on an "as need" basis. You will be helped along the entire process, and will never have to be solo.
Please visit https://teamup.com/ksa7svz1371t58ortn to schedule our call. Set aside 30 minutes. Calls on weekends are case by case, only.

"We Got Played": Conservatives Abandon Dubious Woodward Intimidation Story
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Conservative media figures are abandoning Washington Post writer Bob Woodward's over-hyped claim that he was threatened by a White House official.
In a CNN appearance and an interview with Politico, Woodward claimed that a White House representative (later revealed to be economic adviser Gene Sperling) had threatened him over his reporting on the history of the sequester cuts. Woodward's assertion that the White House was trying to intimidate him was quickly promoted by major conservative media figures.
But the full email exchange between Woodward and Sperling, released this morning by Politico, strongly suggests that Woodward's claims of White House intimidation were overblown. As a result, as Brett LoGiurato explains at Business Insider, several conservatives are now turning on Woodward.
The Daily Caller, which hyped Woodward's initial claims last night, posted an article by Matt Lewis this morning explaining that conservatives had seized on Woodward's initial story because it "confirmed our suspicion about the Obama Administration's 'Chicago-style' of politics." After reading the full emails, Lewis concluded that conservatives had been "played," and that the exchange is "much more innocuous" than it was initially presented.
Echoing Lewis, Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson said during an appearance on Fox News that the full emails suggest Woodward "hyped" the claim that he had been threatened.
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson tweeted this morning:
Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin, after posting an overwrought item this morning arguing that the Woodward story was evidence of the "monstrously stupid" White House trying to intimidate its critics, added an update explaining that "the full e-mails reveal less bullying and far more pomposity, suggesting the White House would have its critic's best interest at heart."
In a post at National Review, Kevin Hassett argues that while Sperling's statement to Woodward was "certainly regrettable," it was "not some ham-fisted attempt to intimidate Woodward."
At Herman Cain's website, Robert Laurie wrote, "I'm not seeing any threat. It's a real stretch to claim this back and forth is, in any way, menacing."
Of course, there are still a few dead-enders.
Following the release of the full exchange, Breitbart.com's John Nolte wrote a post titled "Woodward Emails Back Claim Of White House Intimidation," arguing that Sperling's words were still a threat, because "[p]sychological manipulation is a game of chess, not checkers, and those claiming Woodward is exaggerating need to take into account more than just these two moves."
Matt Drudge is still flogging the story with numerous headlines on his site, including a banner story touting former Clinton official and current Fox News contributor Lanny Davis' claim that the White House has also tried to intimidate him in the past.

Snohomie wrote:I found a midnight release for it and got 2 (eventually 3) days off work for it. I'm more excited for NCAA than Madden because Madden was SUCH a letdown to me last year.
Anyways, I'm sad they haven't made quality recruiting less time-consuming. It is still an event that takes nearly as much time as the games.
Otherwise, pretty happy. I'm in Bellingham using my roommate's PS3 so I haven't started any franchises. Though, on All-American, I've had some really close games - lost to Alabama as Oklahoma State because my game-winning field-goal was nullified by a holding penalty. Lost in overtime as Florida State vs Florida.
Thoughts overall:
1.) I still can't really run the read-option effectively, even as a team like UF or UO that have good running QBs.
2.) Holy shit, Georgia Tech's triple-option offense is almost unstoppable - did a game vs #15 Cal, and only times I didn't score were on a pair of fumbles. FB up the middle, with a legit fullback, is very effective, especially since I am failing at passing.
3.) Press defense is way, way overpowered - in that Bama game, I was getting my *** whooped til I started pressing ALL the time... then it became a much better game, and I won the 2nd half handily after getting spanked the first half.
3a.) I did figure out later that if you do a fade and there's no safety help, you can burn press somewhat.
4.) These ratings are screwed up - Bradford with 95THP and 93THA? UCLA with a billion QBs over 80OVR? They couldn't pass at all last year...
5.) It really helps to have a killer WR - Arrellious Benn was able to make so many tight catches for me in practice mode.
6.) Curls are no longer auto-wins on All-American. Much harder this year to get separation on those routes, a ton of picks that way. In fact, I had relatively few picks last year in a spread offense, this year I throw TONS of interceptions.
7.) The new QB hit-mechanics are interesting. Timing is off, so a lot of passes that would've been normal throws last year become floaters because the QB gets hit - though I went back and replayed at least one throw where the ball left my QB's hand before he was touched, yet had a funky motion. Not "broken" or anything, but someone used to the old animation style is in for a shock.

Have you ever had a transfer request to a player to COME to your school? Every offseason I get one player who isn't happy with his situation and puts in a transfer request (to go to some crap school where he will start), generally i talk him down out of leaving (unless its a CB, The way I can recruit CB's just isnt even fair.) and they stay. Well after the Players leaving screen (Transfer, Pro Draft, Graduation), there is a screen for incoming transfer requests...Has anyone ever gotten one? I think in all my years of playing this game i have NEVER gotten one. Any idea on how to do it? any info would be helpful...
Also, a little update on my Dynasty mode.
I am now about 3 games into my 5th season, and have coached 3 teams with 2 coaches. Here is how it went down:
First a little intro. I control two schools at a time, in different conferences, and play and recruit my way through the season. To keep things from getting overly confusing i use the same playbook for both teams - Run Balanced - Although, with different personnel, different style of play develops from the same set of plays. Oregon was Option + Spread, and my other school Emerald City Smurf (created school) used a Speed running game + spread.
For the record. All championship games between the two teams i control are simmed.
#1 ECS - SEC Champions - National Champs - Heisman winner, Maxwell winner (both by the QB), and 6 other Trophy's
#3 Oregon - Pac Ten Champs - 1 Trophy, Wasnt invited to the national champ game despite being undefeated.
#1 ECS - SEC Champs - National Champs - Time Heisman Winner, Maxwell winner (again, both by the QB), and 4 other trophy's
#2 Oregon - Pac Ten Champs - Lost national champ game, 3 trophy's
#1 ECS -SEC Champs - National Champs - Heisman winner (this time the stud WR beats his QB), Maxwell (QB, 3rd strait), and 5 other trophy's
#22 Oregon - was decimated by three HUGE injuries to star juniors, and the starting QB. The Defense was able to get them ranked by beating the #13 school on the last game of the season, in a 3-0 victory.
After that season at Oregon, and a piss poor recruiting year for the team, i decided to take that coach and jump ship. I landed at Ohio State, the #4 team in the nation.
#2 ECS - SEC Champs - National Champ game loser - Heisman winner and 3 other trophy's. The 2time Heisman winner QB has graduated and moved on, and his replacement breaks his collarbone in week one on a late hit. Seriously. Got the flag and everything, but now I'm down my starting QB...for the season. So a backup Sophomore comes in, and friggin lights the world on fire. He ends up winning the best QB award, and our stud WR wins his 2nd strait Heisman and the Maxwell.
#1 Ohio State - Big Ten Champs - National Champs - 3 other Trophy's. This coach who has had nothing but problems getting past the ECS in the championship game beats them 48-49...get this, by a blocked field goal...
#2 ECS (3-0) - The QB who stepped in and led the team to the championship game decides to leave the school along with the stud WR, his other 2 running buddies, and Injury Prone 99ovr RB for the draft/graduation. I am left with a kid healing from a broken collarbone, and 2 freshmen at QB (one of them, a Position Change from Corner), A running back by committee scheme as none of my recruits have developed into an every down back, and 3 red shirted Sophomores at WR. Granted I have a really solid Line and TE, there is not a whole lot of talent on the field, or speed for that matter. This season will be a very big struggle to get through.
#1 Ohio State (3-0) - Still riding the high of the national champ win over ECS are mauling their opponents with a harsh power running game. The starting RB from last season left, and the kid that stepped up into the starting lineup is a BEAST. He has enough speed to run outside, and more than enough power to break tackles in the middle. There hasn't been a close game yet, and they look mighty unstoppable at the moment. Especially with a Defense that is averaging 7 sacks a game.

FLORENCE, Italy -- Amanda Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend are back on trial in the 2007 murder of her British roommate, but neither defendant was in court as the case got underway Monday.
The trial is the latest stage in a drawn-out legal process that saw the pair convicted in 2009 of stabbing to death 21-year-old student Meredith Kercher at the house the two women shared in the Italian city of Perugia. They were freed from prison after winning an appeal in 2011. But the Italian Supreme Court ordered a retrial this year, saying the acquittal was riddled with "shortcomings, contradictions and inconsistencies."
Neither Knox, 26, who now attends the University of Washington in her hometown of Seattle, nor her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, 29, were required to be present at a Florence appeals court for the new trial. But Knox's absence was criticized by Patrick Lumumba, a former Perugia barman whom she briefly accused of being at the scene of the killing, before retracting the statement in the days after her arrest.
"Knox is afraid. She knows she has responsibility for the death of poor Meredith," said Lumumba, who is participating in the case as a civil plaintiff and seeking damages from Knox.
Knox told the Italian newspaper Corriere Fiorentino that she would not return to Italy for the trial, "in part because my presence has always been an element of distraction in court."
"I'm not coming back to avoid that circus," she was quoted as saying.
Sollecito's father has said that his son will attend the trial at a later stage in the proceedings.
Lawyers representing Knox and Sollecito made a series of requests Monday for evidence to be re-examined, including Kercher's cellphone, a semen stain found on her bed, and a knife that prosecutors allege was used to kill her.
Most of the requests were turned down, but the presiding judge, Alessandro Nencini, agreed that DNA testing should be conducted on a previously unexamined biological trace found on the knife. He also asked to hear testimony Friday from Luciano Aviello, a convicted member of the Naples mafia who previously claimed that his brother killed Kercher.
Hearings in the case are expected to last until December, after which the Supreme Court is expected to weigh in again.
Kercher's family has welcomed the new trial. In a letter addressed to the court, the family wrote, "Nothing will ever bring our beautiful Meredith back, and we will always hold her in our hearts and memories, but we need to know what happened, and she at least deserves the dignity of truth."
Kercher, 21, was found with her throat slashed and more than 40 stab wounds. Authorities said there were signs of sexual assault.
Knox and Sollecito, who deny any involvement in Kercher's death, spent four years in prison before their acquittals. In a separate trial, Ivory Coast-born Rudy Guede was sentenced to 16 years for his role in the slaying.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Although many of your members are time pressed, a new study shows that when it comes to lifting, results might just be worth the wait. According to a recent study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, rest periods of three minutes to five minutes are necessary to achieve the full benefit of resistance exercise for recreational lifters.
Researchers at the University of Kansas studied the effects of three rest-period lengths on subsequent set performance in 28 healthy men. All subjects had a minimum of eight-weeks resistance training experience. Men first completed one set of chest presses to fatigue and then were randomly assigned a rest period of one minute, three minutes or five minutes. Then the men performed another chest press set using the same weight, completing as many repetitions as possible.
Study results showed significantly fewer reps during the second set in all rest intervals; however, the total work performed during the second set was considerably less in the one-minute rest interval than with the three and five minute groups. Participants in the three- and five-minute grounds were still able to perform between eight to 12 reps, but those in the one-minute group were only able to perform four to six reps.
This study differs from previous research that examined highly trained weightlifters and bodybuilders where rest periods of one minute were enough for full muscle recovery. More research is needed to determine why the two populations need different amounts of rest.
