Pondering over Anna Hazare's agitation
All the hyperventilating leftists in India who are going ga-ga over Anna Hazare's fast is enough to make me very queazy and suspicious.
A few random thoughts:
A few random thoughts:
- Is the Lokpal going to supersede the courts with its own police force?
- What's to stop the Lokpal and its powers from being misused especially if it has its own police force?
- All institutions can be corrupted as its the individuals who are corrupt. What's to ensure that the Lokpal is an exception?
- Why should we not be suspicious of unelected NGO chaps and santcimonius individuals like Anna Hazare who insist on being involved in framing laws now?
- Instead of having a new institution like a Lokpal, why cant Anna Hazare and his fellow agitators improve the existing law and order machinery?
- Why cant all Indians give comments on issues like Lokpal or for that matter any other law? Why should we be subject to the whims and fancies of these agitators?
- Why cant these people realise that we are not ruled by the british and freedom-movement like andolans are passe. I must admit that i am a little ambivalent on this point as the indian government by its very nature is brutal and ignores citizens unless they indulge in violence!
- Is this another agitation hijacked by the english media and the yuppies who like nothing better than an excuse to be on talk shows and light candles !

WASHINGTON — As Democratic officials rely more than ever on the big-money super PACs they once scorned, party strategists and donors are caught in sharp disagreements over how to use the newly influential independent organizations.
WASHINGTON — As Democratic officials rely more than ever on the big-money super PACs they once scorned, party strategists and donors are caught in sharp disagreements over how to use the newly influential independent organizations.
Tensions are simmering over whether Priorities USA Action and other Democratic groups that can accept unlimited contributions are too focused on the 2016 presidential race and a potential Hillary Rodham Clinton candidacy, even as Democrats face a costly, uphill fight this year to retain a thin Senate majority and gain seats in the House.
The importance of focusing on 2014 was also a topic of considerable chatter this week as President Barack Obama addressed activists and donors at a Washington meeting of Organizing for Action, his issues-oriented grass-roots group. Some party leaders are grumbling that the nonprofit, which raised more than $26 million last year, has been working to rally support for Obama's health-care overhaul — but is not running television ads aimed at boosting vulnerable Democratic incumbents under fire for their support of the measure.
Concerns over the early focus on Clinton came into view this week, when the executive director of Priorities USA, the super PAC backed by Hollywood moguls and other top pro-Clinton donors, sent a letter assuring donors that the group would not "big-foot" other party super PACs working to help candidates in this year's congressional elections and asking them to direct money to 2014 efforts.
After the missive, the House and Senate super PACs each got $500,000 from the plumbers and pipefitters union, whose president is on the Priorities USA board.
Still, worries remain among leading party figures that the early 2016 buildup is distracting from the urgent need to combat well-funded groups on the right this year.
"It is much too early, and I don't think it is particularly helpful to have that kind of focus on 2016," said Peter Buttenwieser, a Philadelphia education consultant and major donor. "In terms of someone who cares about the Senate and the 2014 election, I find those things to be diverting and getting in the way."
The debate over tactics and resources has gained steam in recent months as party officials and donors have moved swiftly to accept, even embrace, the growing role of super PACs and other independent groups that many Democrats have criticized for giving the wealthy too much influence over politics.
With each move — building donor lists, organizing volunteers and hiring staff — these groups are in effect supplanting the role of the traditional party organization, only without a built-in framework for picking leaders, setting goals and accounting for spending.
Their expansion further pulls the center of political gravity away from the Democratic National Committee, which is struggling to pay off nearly $16 million in debt from 2012.
Priorities USA, practically a political outcast when it was launched three years ago by two former White House staffers, has a new board of directors with a membership list befitting the national party itself — including labor officials, corporate lobbyists, seasoned political operatives, a former governor and Obama's 2012 campaign manager.
There is now a near-universal view among top donors and strategists that the party needs its own big-money groups to compete with the growing role such groups are playing on the right.
That consensus has grown as Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group supported by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch, has poured nearly $29 million into ads against vulnerable congressional Democrats in the past six months.
Obama has agreed to headline fundraisers this year for super PACs raising money to boost Democratic House and Senate candidates — the first time he will appear at events for such groups.
"The proliferation of money in politics continues to be a big concern, but it's also a reality," longtime Obama adviser David Axelrod said. "You can't play by one set of rules while the other side is playing by another."
But as Democrats have rushed to build out their super PAC infrastructure, Axelrod and other leading party strategists have expressed concern about the early burst of 2016 energy.
"With the Senate seriously at risk, and the Koch Brothers spending prodigiously," he wrote on Twitter on Feb. 6, "shouldn't Dem funders be focused on '14 and not '16 races?"
In an email Thursday, Axelrod said he was not referring to any specific group but added, "Generally, I think efforts should be focused on this election, in which the stakes are very large, before Democrats become consumed by the next."
As big donors gathered in Washington this week to attend meetings of the OFA and the DNC, some operatives said party financiers need to be further pushed to back the midterm efforts.
"House and Senate Majority PACs have been able to go up against AFP in a handful of incumbent districts to reduce the disparity," said one senior strategist, who requested anonymity to speak candidly. "The problem is that there are not enough resources to defend against the breadth and intensity of these attacks."
Organizers of the 2016 super PACs say they agree the party must focus for now on the midterms, and some moved this week to quell concerns. Priorities USA, which has been soliciting seven-figure pledges from donors for 2016, has scrambled to emphasize its support for this year's campaigns. The group is contemplating ways to assist Democratic governors and help expand the party's voter pool this year.
"Priorities USA Action is all-in for 2014," senior strategist Paul Begala said. "We will not aggressively raise for 2016 until after the midterms."
The group also urged its contributors to donate to the two Democratic congressional super PACs and noted that it has given each of the groups $250,000.
"We don't want to cannibalize the resources from 2014," said former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm, who co-chairs Priorities USA with Jim Messina, Obama's 2012 campaign manager.
Officials with Ready for Hillary, which is working to harness grass-roots support for Clinton, said they are going to use their growing network to drive volunteers and donations to congressional Democrats this year. Postcards being sent to supporters in Iowa and other states will seek volunteers to help in 2014 races.
OFA officials have said that the group will not engage in elections, but supporters said that its work advocating for the health-care law improves the landscape for Democratic candidates this year.
Christine Forester, a San Diego donor and co-chair of the OFA advisory board who attended this week's meetings, said the group's direct engagement on issues "will get people to the voting booth in a way we may never have seen before."
Super PAC organizers said worries about the financial advantages of conservative groups have spurred an unusual level of coordination between independent groups on the left.
As they ramp up their 2014 campaigns, the two congressional super PACs — House Majority PAC and Senate Majority PAC — are again collaborating with an array of environmental advocates, labor unions and women's groups. Many of the players participate in regular strategy sessions in a conference room at the downtown Washington office of the Perkins Coie law firm.
They synchronize their efforts, divvying up ad buys and swapping polling, and consult with strategists running super PACs backed by hedge fund manager Tom Steyer and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.
American Bridge, an opposition research outfit headed by conservative-turned-liberal activist David Brock, provides the groups with intel and candidate tracking.
"One of the lessons everyone learned over the last few cycles is that we are never going to have as much money as the Republicans will, therefore we can't waste a dime of it," said Alixandria Lapp, executive director of House Majority PAC.
Clinton allies have now taken that coordinated approach in building an early super PAC infrastructure for 2016.
Priorities USA strategist Sean Sweeney and Buffy Wicks, who came aboard as executive director in January, set out to recruit a high-powered board, snagging representatives of nearly every important Democratic constituency group.
Brock, whose group has launched a 2016 rapid-response project, and Allida Black, co-founder of Ready for Hillary, are members.
The board also includes EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriock, former Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese, former Clinton White House aide Maria Echeveste and union leaders William P. Hite of the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters and Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers.
Two veteran campaign strategists that helped the super PAC in 2012, Clinton adviser Harold Ickes and America Votes president Greg Speed, stayed on, joined by Charles Baker III., a lobbyist and Democratic strategist who served as a top aide to John Kerry, Al Gore and Michael Dukakis.
And now there are host of board members with deep ties into corporate America, including Viacom executive Marva Smalls and lobbyist Justin Gray, whose clients include Comcast and McDonald's. Jonathan Mantz, who served as Clinton's national finance director in 2008 and is now a lobbyist at the high-powered firm BGR Group, is the super PAC's senior finance adviser, while longtime party fundraiser Diane Rogalle is finance director.
Priorities USA officials said new board members are expected to be added soon, including environmental advocates and more labor leaders.
In the coming weeks, the super PAC's strategists plan to hold briefings with Democratic donors in cities such as New York, Chicago, Washington and Los Angeles. They aren't making the hard ask for checks yet — instead, they are working to secure financial pledges of as much as $1 million, so that when 2016 kicks off, the super PAC will have already locked up resources.
This time, the group hopes to raise substantially more than the $79 million it got in 2012, Granholm said.
"I get the sense that people are very, very interested in helping when the time is right," she said.

Garnett on Golf: Cardy signs off as Suffolk captain with fine win over Leicestershire
PUBLISHED: 14:40 03 September 2018 | UPDATED: 14:40 03 September 2018
It was a perfect ending to Joe Cardy's time as Suffolk county captain. Victory over Leicestershire at Stowmarket denied the formerly unbeaten visitors the Anglian League title which went to Northamptonshire, who rounded off their programme by beating Cambridgeshire, writes Tony Garnett.
There was a steely determination about Suffolk who have won all three of their home League matches, a marked improvement on the previous two seasons when no victories were recorded.
Suffolk are building a competitive team with Cardy, who will continue to play, and the dependable Sam Debenham proving very hard to beat at this level.
Suffolk went ahead in the foursomes by two and a half to one and a half. It might have been better still as James Biggs saw a couple of putts lip the hole and stay out before he and Habebul Islam lost on the last green.
Calvin Sherwood and James O'Doherty, the Stowmarket club champion, won a tense match on the final green while Cardy and Debenham won 4 and 2.
Paul Waring and Adam Sheldrake were three up early on. They were still one up on the 18th tee but had to settle for a half.
Suffolk needed to win four of the eight singles to cross the winning line. They were given a great start when Sherwood beat Coby Cartwright in a top-quality match that produced 11 birdies and an eagle. Sherwood, with the appearance of Tommy Fleetwood, was at his best.
Habebul Islam was called into the team at short notice after Josh Cottrell withdrew.
Considering he had played 36 holes round the testing Royal St Georges course in the South East Links Championship on Saturday and did not arrive back in Ipswich until after midnight, Habebul made a splendid county first team debut with victory over Luke Burrows, one of Leicestershire's leading players.
Paul Waring was always in control against Scott Wormleighton. When Cardy beat James Billingham 6 and 4 Suffolk had won, but Debenham added to Leicestershire's woes in the final match.
O'Doherty was going well against Leicestershire captain Martin Anderson until he lost a ball on the seventh when it had appeared to be in no trouble.
Tangling with the horse chestnut tree on the eighth can be costly as several players, including O'Doherty, discovered.
Meanwhile, the Suffolk second team travelled to Market Harborough knowing that the title rested between Leicestershire and Suffolk.
The host county went four up in the foursomes. Not many teams recover from that deficit.
Leicestershire fielded several players with first team experience in previous seasons. Suffolk's only singles winners were Sam Byford and James Tyler who had seven birdies in 12 holes.
Anglian League
Suffolk 1st 7.5 Leicestershire 4.5
At Stowmarket.
Foursomes (Suffolk names first): James Biggs and Habebul Islam lost to Luke Burrows and Chris Brook one down.

Jack Cardy and Sam Debenham beat James Billingham and Joseph Hack 4 and 2.
Singles: Sherwood beat Cartwright 2 and 1, Habebul Islam beat Burrows 2 and 1, Biggs lost to Brook 2 and 1, Waring beat Wormleighton 4 and 2, Sheldrake lost to Mayfield 2 and 1, O'Doherty lost to Anderson 3 and 2, Debenham beat Hack 2 and 1, Cardy beat Billingham 6 and 4.

- Rushmere will meet Thorpeness in the final of the Parks Trophy at Ipswich Golf Club on September 24.
Rushmere beat Southwold at Thorpeness in one semi-final. Thorpeness beat Bungay at Southwold in the other.
Bungay's cause was not helped by late call-offs from their originally selected team. Thorpeness were winners in 2002, the inaugural year, and 2006. Rushmere have never won this event.
Rushmere beat Southwold by nine holes at Thorpeness.
Scores (Rushmere names first) Tom Howard and Glynn Chaplin halved with John Meikle and Steve Woofenden, Peter Robinson and Ray Smith 4 Keith Hurr and Peter McNally 0, Alan Middle and Graham Hurren 2 Gary Cuthbert and Clyde Camburn 0, Charlie Maskell and Roger Baird 3 Roger Emmerson and Steve Potter 0.
Thorpeness beat Bungay by 17 holes at Southwold.
Scores (Thorpeness names first): Tony Mardon and Mick Cook 6 Nick Owles and Barry Ford 0, Jon Last and Robert Ayrton 7 Paul Whiting and Colin Block 0, Mick Ford and Richard Newton 1 John Eason and Steve Rowe 0, Peter Cooney and Ray Foreman 3 Tony Moore and Russell Dyer 0.

Back in the close-up, Gemma holds open her pussy-lips, and licks the moist, pink inside, while continuing to finger-fuck her. " Emily gasps shrilly, getting up on her elbows to watch Gemma eat her, before dropping back down, and clawing at her tits. " Emily cries out, face screwing up, and starts bucking her hips, before arching her back, and letting out a raspy shriek.
Again in the close-up, Gemma now has three fingers in, fucking Emily's pussy hard, her hand slapping against her body. Now, Gemma kneels between Emily's legs, which she holds onto, and rocks her hips back and forth.
"Hmm…" she purrs, getting onto the bed, and crawling towards Gemma, "Hope you're at a good place to pick that up later…" Emily kisses Gemma's round belly, then moves up, and the two lock lips, tongues briefly visible as they shift around.
"I'll tell you one thing…" Gemma continues, as she puts the book down, "Both our hormones have been going absolutely spare the further along we get.
A favorite new tv show for me is 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughters.
After rehearsal ended, Bridget whispered for her tv "dad" if he could stay a little late and iron out some rough spots for the next show, which featured Bridget in alot of private scenes with Paul.
I can only imagine every inch of her under those clothes and what that little thong panty was covering.

the fear of death, once more. We absolutely can not get out
pop stars are really fascinated by contemporary art
Jay Z gave a performance with Marina Abramovic
Lady Gaga's album cover is signed by Jeff Koons. She has also worked with Robert Wilson.
the usual course of media visibility means artists leave the underground to gradually win the heart of the mainstream,
Lady Gaga, Jay- Z and others are going the opposite way.
Doing so, they may lose some of their fans.
they complicate their message and their music by the way, and withdraw to pop music its first criterion: the simplicity , sacrificing their commercial success on the altar of a sometimes misty artistic vision.
But, in our times of dematerialized music, their willingness to "become art" or to "create masterpieces" expresses their need to enter history, and to leave behind them a lasting cultural heritage.

Good morning! I am back from a long weekend of fabulous classes from some of the best teachers/designers in the industry and I have photos to share another day. But today being the first Thursday of the month means a new challenge unfolds at DWS! This month our challenge at Dreamweaver Stencils is about everything magical and mystical.
I have created a simple Halloween card for you combing a relatively new stencil destined to become a classic and its matching new die. I first pasted the Leafless Tree stencil with Matte Black Embossing Paste. While that was drying I cut the matching Leafless Tree die with patterned paper.
After the paste is totally dry I adhered the tree diecut over the top and slightly off set which gives a wonderful shadow effect.
I also added a quick sentiment by cutting out a piece of coordinating paper. Both papers are from We R Memory Keepers.
Be sure to see what our other designers on Team A (and our special October guest Alison) have created for you this week:

I feel like I've been reading less these past weeks. I definitely have been blogging far and far less often than ever. I feel like I'm reading blogs far less than I used to, resorting more to Litsy, Instagram. Is it about shorter posts? Less detail?
Anyway, last week we…
ate Pakistani food
visited Books Inc in Mountain View
went on a hike and saw lots of deer, as well as farm animals
made blueberry Meyer lemon muffins
and pizza
and olive bread
and the 6yo discovered a new chapter book series, Dragon Masters
I'm not sure why but I started watching The Walking Dead on Netflix. I watched it once and then stopped somewhere. So I've decided to start from the beginning.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, read by Stephen Fry. The kids and I have been listening to the audiobook as we drive around (school drop off, to after school activities etc). It's been so much fun introducing Harry Potter to them!
Hot chocolate from a Christmas mug
Last week:
I read:
Squirrel Girl – Shannon Hale
Sweetbitter – Stephanie
Jane, Unlimited – Kirstin Cashore

About the Evolutionary Collective
The Evolutionary Collective gathers those who are ready to move forward into the next stage of human evolution. We are successful in many diverse fields, have already given ourselves to our personal and spiritual development, and we recognize that further individual enrichment will not yield the significant shift humanity requires.
Together we explore the rich world of 'inter-subjective' awakening. Rather than focus on supporting individual enlightenment, we enter in to an awakened space together. As a Collective we inhabit a shared consciousness that is present even as we live our unique, full lives.
We are continually pointing ourselves toward new domains of discovery.
Though we are constantly learning, this is not a course. It is a living experiment on the leading edge of spiritual development and evolutionary transformation. It is the embodied emergence of a new paradigm of interconnectivity and mutuality. As such it requires a different level of commitment that a course or a training program. This is a relationship… and the soul of this relationship is the evolutionary spark that catalyses the upleveling of relating itself.
The activity of the Evolutionary Collective occurs in year-long engagement cycles. There is an initial Yearlong Intensive that is preparation for full engagement in the Core Collective. There are two core hubs that meet in person throughout the year in New York, and the Bay Area. We support a larger global community who participate via the public offerings of Founder Patricia Albere and the Teacher Body.
About Patricia Albere
Patricia Albere is at ground zero of an evolutionary stream of spiritual awakening. One in which we learn to go beyond individual psychology and transformation into a new space of mutual awakening.
She is the founder and director of the Evolutionary Collective and an internationally known contemporary spiritual teacher and author. Her unique discovery of the essential components that create an awakened 'we space' is transforming our understanding of what it possible in the space between us and in creating new fields of higher collective consciousness. Her work creates a powerful field of shared consciousness that reveals previously unimagined potentials for human development that can and is moving humanity far beyond the limits of personal growth. She has worked with over 150,000 people in groups in the last 40 years. Her mastery as a transformative teacher is now innovating a new field of 'inter-subjective awakening' and post-personal development.

Wildlife encounter
Bear track at one of my sites.
Unknown scat on my porch in the morning.
Deer. There is a second one just behind the first one.
Coyote. It was on the top of the hill and it left once it saw me moving downhill.
Night photography - attempting to do some night photography from my porch. I now know to turn the noise filter on when I take night photos. Much better than the last time.
Kebler Pass
Variation in nature
Saw these mutated Mertensia fusiformis flowers with no floral tube and very short corollas.
White M. brevistyla flowers
In the evening of June 8th, there was a hail and snowstorm. I was worried about how my plants might do, but they seemed to cope well with the freakish alpine environment.
Research in progress
Research by a Canadian undergraduate on how winter snowpack affects solitary bees and wasps.
Measuring plant height.
Measuring leaf size.
Counting flowers.
This may be a potential hybrid between M. fusiformis and M. brevistyla - one part of my PhD research.
Breakfast is pretty boring here in the field, but on Sunday a field assistant made me this delicious and healthy banana peanut butter oatmeal. Yum.

Cryptocurrencies are digital money with a powerful encryption which makes it a unique currency for everyone. These digital currencies are rising at an exponential rate against traditional holdings like the FTSE 100 and the dollar. It's just a matter a time when everybody will be exposed to cryptocurrency and start using it more often, but we will have to wait and see how that goes.
Some of the cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, etc. Cryptocurrencies have adopted a blockchain technology to keep the currency as well as the technology safe. It also allows distribution of digital information but cannot be copied. That's why cryptocurrencies are the most secured digital money we have right now.
Continue reading, and you'll find out some reasons as to why buy cryptocurrency.
The cases of money fraud are minimized with the use of cryptocurrencies since these digital monies cannot be reversed arbitrarily or counterfeited like the credit card charge-backs by the sender. Cryptocurrency is the most secure form of digital money that's not susceptible to hackers or any central failure.
Identity Theft
Unlike credit cards that once you purchase, you consequently give complete access to your credit line. When it comes to cryptocurrency, it does not provide any access whatsoever. How is that? Credit cards use a "pull" basis, where a convenience store you're purchasing a good/services initiates the payment and pulls the exact amount to pay from your account. On the other hand, cryptocurrency operates on a "push" basis, which only allows the holder of the cryptocurrency to send the designated amount with no further information to the recipient or merchant. Thus cases of identity theft do not arise when using a cryptocurrency
Immediate Settlement
Cryptocurrency payments are super-fast since there are no third parties such as Notary or Lawyers, payment fees, and delays. You can even initiate a payment to be finalized at a future date or time with ease and no hassles. You're sure to get an immediate settlement by using cryptocurrencies since they act as a massive property rights database.
Access to Everyone
Almost every one of us has internet on our phones and cryptocurrency being an online and digital money makes it possible for people to access it anywhere, anytime. If you're worried about accessing the traditional exchange, then shift your focus and buy a cryptocurrency.
Lower Fees
Up to now, there are no fees involved in transactions of cryptocurrency exchange since the network pays miners. Small charges can only arise if you're using a platform to create as well as maintain your bitcoin wallet such as Coinbase.
Cryptocurrencies are not managed by one central authority like it's the case with the credit cards but by its own network. It implies that this digital currency operates on a peer-to-peer (user-to-user) basis.
Recognition at Universal Levels
Cryptocurrency can be easily used at an international level without facing any economic and monetary problems since it is not bound by any country's transaction charges, interest rates, and exchange rates.
Having a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can turn out to be the best investment plan you ever made in your life. However, you should be aware of its value fluctuations that can happen at any time. You can make profit or loss so quick. Why buy cryptocurrency? You should buy if you want to have full control and safety of your hard earned money.

The Google Prediction API first launched in at I/O 2010 and the team recently added a number of enhancements that make it more powerful for many types of business applications.
"Prediction API exposes Google's machine learning algorithms as a RESTful API for use by applications around the web. This allows developers to replace repetitive manual processes with automated and smarter code, saving users valuable time and preventing headaches," explains Google. Here're some great use cases:
- Spam detection: Use Prediction API to automatically detect it and react accordingly.
- Sentiment analysis: You could use Prediction API to analyze correspondence with customers and detect when a customer might be communicating with a really negative or positive tone.
- Tagging & organizing: You can provide organization this content by automatically tagging it based on how your users have previously tagged similar content.
- Message routing: If you have a CRM that needs to route leads to the most appropriate people or a helpdesk ticket system that needs to route tickets to the correct support team. You can use machine learning to predict the routing based on historical patterns.
Get started with the prediction API by going through the Hello World example, checking out the Hosted Model Gallery, or try a demo app that uses the Prediction API to predict what types of applications a company might want to add from the Google Apps Marketplace based on the demographics of the company and a sampling of previous install data.

FACT: Obama appointed/confirmed 13 of 15 of his cabinet members with a week … yes that is within 7 days of his inauguration. And 1 of those 13 (Robert Gates) was even confirmed technically in December 2008 before he was inaugurated!
The remaining 2 of the 15 … Gary Locke Secretary of Commerce (confirmed February 23 2009) and Kathleen Sebelius Secretary of Health and Human Resources (confirmed April 28, 2009) were nominated later than one week … but only because the original choice/choices failed their nomination process.
But in Nigeria its been 2 months and not ONE single ministerial appointment has been made and our National Assembly is still in recess … but yet our President just went on International media to say he will not appoint ministers till September and uses Obama's 2009 cabinet as justification? Bullshit!
But I am not disappointed with our politicians, politicians are politicians.
I am more disappointed with intellectuals and intelligent Nigerians reading this shit … that smell the shit, see the shit, know its shit but don't say shit!
Those are the people I am disappointed with.

I finished machine quilting the seventh block of Arcadia Avenue. As you can see, I made a loop flower in the middle.
I made loops in the white fabric area. I was going to leave it this way but decided it just wasn't enough.
Here's a close up of the white fabric after quilting. I felt the black fabric should also be quilted to even off the block. So, I changed thread and ended up with this!
I think the block looks balanced now that the black and white areas are both quilted.
Hoping to start block 8 next. Only 4 blocks left!!

Considering Renting Out
Renting is always the fallback consideration, "If I don't sell I'll rent it out!", and yet it is most frequently the WRONG decision, and here is why.
Here are some assumption you may be making:
- You will rent until the market price rises to give you the price you want
- You will have the place rented at the price YOU want
- Your property will be rented 100% of the time
- The rental income minus expenses will at least cover the monthly cost
Here is the reality:
- If we assume the most positive outlook for growth, (a 3% annual appreciation), it will take years at best until the market gives you the selling price you want today. By then the market will have risen and you are then going say you want even more. The price you want will constantly be just beyond what the current market will pay for.
- If you are going to rent you will compete with everyone else in the market doing the same. That means you will have to compete on price and accept the rent that the market is willing to give you, which I guarantee is much much lower than what you want. So in the end you will accept that lower rent and set yourself up for a monthly loss. The association rules alone will restrict you from renting at the frequency or time period that you would need to cover costs.
- If you don't end up accepting that lower rent, you will instead continue trying to find someone who will rent at YOUR price. That scenario leads to an even larger loss from carrying an un-rented apartment month after month after month, paying taxes, insurance, homeowners fees, mortgage, utilities etc.
The truth is that you likely didn't buy the property with the intention of renting, and when you consider the costs, aggravation, and how much you will actually net, (take home), the calculation unfortunately can't possibly make sense.
Some owners get so frustrated that they decide to give the property to their children or siblings. These family members, because of a lack of interest, commitment, and resources, allow the place to deteriorate and accumulate fines and liens to the point at which it will eventually have to be sold at a fire-sale price. (its like giving someone a puppy who was never prepared for caring for it)
|Taking a loss is hard to take. But avoiding a loss can be much worse.
We have seen owners stubbornly continue this frustrating process year after year until they ultimately get fed up and call us to sell their place for what the market is actually willing to pay for. Below please find some information that will be useful in your determining the best course of action.
Get in touch with us today so that we can discuss your particular concerns and timeline.

Kirk Nahra Discusses New York's Data Security Rules for Financial Services Firms
Kirk J. Nahra, chair of Wiley Rein's Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice and co-chair of the Health Care Practice, was quoted in a February 22 Law360 article regarding the state of New York's new cybersecurity requirements for financial services firms. Starting March 1, banks, insurance companies, and other financial services institutions that are licensed to do business in New York must meet the state Department of Financial Services' (DFS) cybersecurity standards.
"The new rules may provide plaintiffs' lawyers with a little extra framework for these data breach cases in the form of a few extra paragraphs to add to the complaint," said Mr. Nahra.
In the event of a breach, both a financial firm and its third-party vendors could face liability under the DFS rules, according to the article. "Because cybersecurity is an interlocking system, one issue that is going to come up is, whose problem is it if there is a data breach and resulting litigation? Would it be the financial institution's, or the vendor's, and whose insurance is responsive?" Mr. Nahra said.

In the past, employees rarely objected to having their picture taken for the company's identification badge. But in this age of technology allowing for facial recognition, photo "tagging," finger or palm prints, and other biometrics – even including DNA – employees often resist requests for personal information to be used in connection with security or other business needs.

Adaptive GPU Ray Casting Based on Spectral Analysis
Adaptive GPU Ray Casting Based on Spectral Analysis - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
1 KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen 2 ARTIS - Acquisition, representation and transformations for image synthesis Inria Grenoble - Rhône-Alpes, LJK - Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann, INPG - Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble
Abstract : GPU based ray casting has become a valuable tool for the visualization of medical image data. While the method produces high- quality images, its main drawback is the high computational load. We present a novel adaptive approach to speed up the rendering. In contrast to well established heuristic methods, we use the spectral decomposition of the transfer function and the dataset to derive a suitable sampling criterion. It is shown how this criterion can be e ciently incorporated into an adaptive ray casting algorithm. Two medical datasets, which each represent a typical, but di erent material distribution, are rendered using the proposed method. An analysis of the number of sample points per ray reveals that the new algorithm requires 50% to 80% less points compared to a non-adaptive method without any quality loss. We also show that the rendering speed of the GPU implementation is greatly increased with reference to the non-adaptive algorithm.

Current Projects
Amphitheater Project
The Volunteer Park Amphitheater Project received a powerful jump-start with the confirmation of major funding from multiple sources. Read more on our Amphitheater Project page.
We are proud of our Amphitheater Project accomplishments to date, with thanks to funding from Seattle Department of Neighborhoods:
- 2015 – Hired project leads ORA Architects and Walker Macy Landscape Architects and completed the Feasibility Study & Design Program with extensive outreach to neighbors, park users, the general public, and over 30 performance and community groups.
- 2016 – Completed the conceptual schematic designs for new Amphitheater.
- 2017 – Completed initial schematic design for the new Amphitheater approved by community groups, performance companies, Seattle Parks and Recreation, and by Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board.
- 2018 – Awarded $900,000 from Seattle Park District's Major Projects Challenge Fund and began preparations for a $3 million capital campaign.
With its broad lawns, historic buildings, central location, and ample parking, Volunteer Park is a city-wide destination for gatherings, concerts, rallies, and celebrations. The new Amphitheater will support a wide range of performances including plays, concerts, classical music, spoken word — and it will be the only public outdoor venue in Seattle with a roof, and the only public outdoor venue in Seattle to support dance.
Read more about the Amphitheater Project including detailed history, links to design documents and news articles, as well as letters of community support at our Amphitheater Project page.
Volunteer Park Sustainability Coalition
The Coalition is comprised of Volunteer Park Trust, the Friends of the Conservatory, and Seattle Asian Art Museum. Its mission is to make the infrastructure of the Park and its institutions more efficient and environmentally sound. The Sustainability Coalition works closely with Seattle Parks & Recreation, Seattle Public Utilities, and conservation groups to make Volunteer Park a standard for the intelligent and cost effective use of resources.
The Coalition commissioned Young Architects LLC to draft a Park Sustainability Improvement Measures study. This study examines existing infrastructure in the park and identifies potential improvements in water and energy use that will make the Park more sustainable, reduce long term costs, and improve environmental impacts.
Volunteer Park Sustainability Improvement Measures Report
Young | Architecture LLC PDF Document – 1,108 KB
In 2016, the Volunteer Park Sustainability Coalition was awarded a $25,000 Small and Simple Neighborhood Matching Fund Grant by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. The funds paid for a park-wide water capture and reuse feasibility study as the first facet of implementation of the Improvement Measures Study.
The feasibility study built on water-usage-related areas in the preliminary report including:
- Storm water management
- Water efficient landscaping
- Innovative waste water technologies
- Water use reduction
- Rain water harvesting
- Gray water re-use: potentially using water from the wading pool for irrigating the grounds
Read the full 81-page report here: VPSC-Feasibility-Study-2017-02-24-Final
In November 2018, the Volunteer Park Sustainability Coalition has announced a project to design and construct an up-to-date water filtration and treatment system for the Volunteer Park wading pool, as well as rain gardens and other "rainwater retention devices" for the park.
They are now seeking grant resources to pay for the estimated $1.8 million in costs. Read their full announcement.
Parkwide Landscaping
We plan to undertake a series of restoration and replanting projects throughout Volunteer Park in the years ahead based on the original Olmsted Brothers' planting plans. Thanks to grants from Seattle Garden Club, the Peach Foundation, and Wyman Youth Trust, we've already completed the projects below. Now we are already well under way in restoring the terraced lawns facing Volunteer Park's western views and continue the work around both eastern shoulders of the reservoir.
Lily Pond Fencing Project
COMPLETED! Volunteer Park Trust has replaced the wire fencing around the North and South Lily Ponds with safe, permanent, thoughtfully designed metal rails. Stop by the park to see in person how beautiful the new fencing looks!
Project Update
In October, 2018, the new wrought iron fencing around both Lily Ponds in Volunteer Park was installed. The crew at Ace Iron Works did a top notch job of hand-forging the iron railings, assembling the fencing sections, and installing them around both ponds. Their craftmanship in creating the gates that blend so seamlessly with the fencing is remarkable.
Our design, based on current and historical fencing in Olmsted parks, successfully passed reviews by the City of Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board and its Architectural Review Committee, and was approved by Seattle Parks and Recreation.
Our Public Presentation of Design occurred on July 19 from 6-8 PM at Summer Picnic in Volunteer Park. The public was able to visit our Design Booth at this fun community-wide event, ask questions, and see the final construction drawings for the fencing.
Volunteer Park Trust was awarded a $46,500 Neighborhood Matching Funds grant to help fund this project from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. The grant requires a match of $23,250 in cash, volunteer time, and donated professional services.
Associated Recreation Council donated $2,826 towards our match and thanks to generous individual donors we met our match requirements!
Project Info
Previous Conditions: The previous barrier surrounding both ponds was made of insubstantial, low-quality, 27″ tall wire fencing which had been badly battered over time. This barrier was more decorative than useful; it was easily stepped on and stepped over, and readily pulled up out of the ground.
A Beautiful Replacement: The Trust replaced this with a thoughtfully designed, 28″ high, permanent, metal fencing running around the circumference of both ponds.
Safety First: The new fencing will help to protect all people, but we are particularly concerned about keeping children safe. Both ponds, with their beautiful water plants, swimming goldfish, blooming water lilies, and nesting ducks are a delightful and powerful attraction for children of all ages. Safety issues for children at the Lily Ponds go back over a hundred years:
- Read the 1910 letter from Seattle Board of Park Commissioners discussing their concerns.
- Read the 1911 Letter from James Dawson expressing his concerns for the pond safety.
- Read the 1912 Field Note detailing two children who fell over the pond edge.
Ducks & Ducklings: The new fencing will have no impact on ducks in the lily ponds. Seattle Parks and Recreation will continue their practice of providing seasonal ramps for ducklings. The fence design allows ducklings to easily pass through the bars.
Our new fencing provides a proper, sturdy safety barrier and enhances the refined beauty of our park for everyone to enjoy.
Volunteer Park Lighting Improvement Project
COMPLETED! Volunteer Park Trust worked in partnership with Seattle Parks & Recreation and Seattle Public Utilities to improve the lighting throughout Volunteer Park.
Dim & Damaged: Until recently, Volunteer Park's 40 street lamps used inefficient sodium bulbs. Their decades-old lamp globes were dirty, damaged, and blocked too much light.
A Bright Solution: Now all the park's street lamps have been replaced with modern, brighter, energy efficient, LED bulbs, broken lamp globes have been replaced, and the dirty globes cleaned. We now have a brighter, safer park after sunset.
The paint on all 30 metal light poles throughout the park was weather beaten, peeling, and unsightly. Volunteer Park Trust and Seattle Parks and Recreation contracted New Finishes, Inc. to complete new, electrostatic painting of the poles, including:
- Moss removal and sanding
- Iron phosphate treatment on any rust
- Electrostatic epoxy primer
- Electrostatic 2-component urethane topcoat
Completed in October 2018, this $35,000 painting project was funded entirely by Volunteer Park Trust thanks to our many donors. The poles are now painted a uniform color that is based on the past paint color. As a "maintenance" project, the pole repainting did not require Seattle Landmarks Board review.
The newly painted light poles help bring Volunteer Park back to the level of stateliness and elegance intended by its original designers, the Olmsted Brothers.
Seattle Garden Club Bed Completed!
In 2015, Volunteer Park Trust received a grant from Seattle Garden Club to restore a major bed in Volunteer Park that had been long overgrown and neglected. Now we are proud to announce the completion of the Seattle Garden Club Garden!
The project location, southeast of the South Lily Pond, is a large landmarked planting with established spruce and cedar trees and native ground cover. Our goal for the grant funds was to reshape the beds to the original Olmsted plan and cultivate the open areas. We planted compact Forsythia, roses, Cotoneaster, Daphne, Hypericum and Potentilla, echoing the yellow palette called for by the 1910 Olmsted planting plan. To complete this major project, we had to:
- Create a formal, approved planting plan working in concert with Friends of Seattle's Olmsted Parks, Seattle Landmarks Board, and Seattle Parks & Recreation.
- Remove invasive plants and remove, prune, and reposition overgrown plants.
- Install the basic irrigation framework and make sure that irrigation heads cover specific plants.
- Prepare the planting soil, obtain and install new plants, and mulch the planted beds.
- Develop and implement a long-term maintenance plan for managing the bed into the future.
During the Volunteer Park Trust 2016 Spring Restoration Day, we removed major overgrown rhododendrons and did intensive pruning, weeding and soil preparation. At our 2016 Fall Restoration Day and at an additional work day with Microsoft volunteers, we completed the final weeding and edging, and planted over 100 new plants.
Now in springtime the Seattle Garden Club Garden will bloom into the blazing field of yellow that the Olmsted Brothers intended.
Peach Garden II Completed!
In June of 2015, Volunteer Park Trust received a grant from the Peach Foundation to design and install the second part of the Peach Garden. The garden is located northwest of the north Lily Pond on the main concourse of Volunteer Park.
Over the next two years, Volunteer Park Trust:
- Prepared scaled drawings of existing plants, soil type, and light exposures. We have located and consulted with the original planting designs from 1910.
- Consulted with Seattle Parks and Recreation landscape design review board regarding existing trees and shrubs; appropriate shrubs for planting that are similar to the original Olmsted design but requiring less sun; as well as the shape of the planting beds.
- Organized volunteer clean up events to clear and prepare the site and, working with Seattle Parks staff, cleared the area of invasive plants, mulched, and prepared the bed for planting.
- Commissioned an irrigation review and plan to assure sufficient watering of the garden.
- Completed irrigation upgrades
- Planted the bed
The bed is now fully installed and Volunteer Park Trust is dedicated to weeding and maintaining the park's newest fully restored garden bed!
Irrigation Project Completed!
Thanks to a grant from the Pendleton & Elisabeth Carey Miller Charitable Foundation, our first irrigation repair and extension project was completed in late 2015 near the Watertower. Gone are the leaky pipes at the south end of the park, and the long-dry garden beds now have water piped to them. As we add new beds and improve plantings in Volunteer Park, irrigation upgrades and expansion will be a continual part of our ongoing projects.
A big thank you goes to those who have and are contributing to these projects!

Comedians & Entertainers Available All Over The UK
Manchester based Justin Moorhouse is a talented stand-up comedian, writer and actor – not to mention an award-winning radio presenter and a household name in his native North West.
Early in his career, his exuberant, larger than life personality and cheeky northern charm quickly allowed him to build a reputation on the live comedy circuit. He was named 'City Life Comedian of the Year' in 2000 and was second placed in the 'BBC New Talent Awards' the following year. He was soon supporting stand-up luminaries Jimmy Carr, Peter Kay, Dave Spikey, John Thomson and Johnny Vegas on tour before going on to play to sell out audiences across the North West with his own solo shows.
Justin's debut solo show 'Local Knowledge – The Smallest Tour in the World' toured the North West in 2004 earning him a nomination for 'Best Comedy Performance' at the prestigious Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards alongside the likes of Bill Bailey and Ross Noble.
He took to the road again in 2006 with sell-out performances of his second show 'The Difficult Second Tour'. 2007 saw him making his hotly anticipated debut at the Edinburgh festival with his third solo show 'Who's The Daddy?' which he subsequently toured nationally, including a date at the prestigious Manchester Opera House. Justin has been a regular at the Edinburgh Festival, since 2007, performing to sell out audiences and great critical acclaim.
Manchester's Key 103 snapped Justin up as a presenter back in 2003 and he has just switched from his own long running tea time show on weekdays from 4-7pm to the weekend breakfast slot on Sunday's 8am-12pm. His warmth, charisma and quick-witted spontaneity have proved a huge hit with listeners and radio industry officials alike, and he's clocked up nominations for the highly prized 'DJ Of The Year' at the Sony Awards and 'Presenter of the Year' in the Commercial Radio Awards. His show was also nominated in the 2006 Sony Radio Academy Awards for the 'Interactive Programme Award' with Judges describing Justin as 'cheeky, funny and irreverent'.
BBC Radio 4 commissioned a pilot of Justin's show 'The Big Am I?' which transmitted in 2009 and he most recently co-wrote and starred in the BBC Radio 4 series 'Everyone Quite Likes Justin', the second series of which is due to be transmitted in Autumn 2012.
On TV screens, Justin is perhaps most recognisable as Young Kenny in the hugely successful, award-winning 'Phoenix Nights'. He spent the whole of the second series with his face painted as a tiger and also made a brief appearance in the spin-of series 'Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere'. Other TV appearances include 'Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow' (BBC1), 'Dave's One Night Stand' (Dave), '8 Out of 10 Cats' (Ch 4) and 'Shameless' (E4), In 2009 he also landed a lead role in the new Ken Loach movie 'Looking for Eric' – which scooped a nomination for a Palme D 'or at the Cannes Film festival.
In 2010, Justin tread the boards of the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre, playing the lead role in the hugely popular stage production of 'Zack' ('****' The Times, '****' The Telegraph) and more recently went back to his thespian ways in 'Two' – which was at the Royal Exchange until the end of February 2012.
Justin's writing credits include 'The 11 O'Clock Show' and Channel 4's hugely popular panel show '8 out of 10 Cats'. He also wrote a comedy drama for BBC Radio 4 entitled 'An Insurance Inspector Calls' which was critically acclaimed and described as "a poignant comedy" (The Guardian), and "an entertaining comedy drama…warm, funny and eccentric" (The Daily Mail).
