Well folks, it happened. The iPhone 7 has finally been revealed, and — surprise, surprise — there's no headphone jack in sight. Instead, you're going to have to either use headphones that connect through Apple's W2 chip, use Bluetooth headphones, or use headphones that plug into the phone's Lightning cable.
Turns out, Apple anticipated at least a little backlash to this decision, and has come out with a few options for listening to music while charging. For example, the company licensed the tech to Belkin to build a dual-Lightning port dongle. Yes, that means that if you use standard headphones with a 3.5mm connector and want to charge while listening to music, you're going to need two dongles: one 3.5mm to Lightning adapter, and one dual-Lightning to Lightning adapter.
Of course, if you don't want to deal with dongles, you can deal with charging docks instead. Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of marketing, has sent an email to customers suggesting that they buy a Lightning charging dock, which has a headphone jack built into it. That, however, is a solution that really only works when you're at home.
The new Lightning dongle from Belkin costs a cool $40. Apple licensed the product to Belkin, which will be sold on Apple's website and in Apple Stores. The dongle has two Lightning ports, one of which can be used to listen to the music and the other to charge a phone, so if you want to listen to music with standard headphones, you'll still need to get the Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter, which thankfully only costs $9. According to Belkin, the new adapter supports 48 kHz, 24-bit audio, which, if you're not an audio buff, is even better than CD-quality audio. The dongle also supports remote control and mic support for Apple-built headphones.
Of course, the real issue isn't the cost — it's the fact that simply by removing the headphone jack, Apple has now forced traditional headphone users to use two dongles if they want to charge at the same time. Still, some argue that this is the direction tech is going and that wired headphones no longer make sense.
The new dongle will be available for purchase in October.

There should be a way to kick and ban people in Kaillera. Also, the ability to add moderators (like the server owner and his friends) that can also kick and ban people. Plus, the ability to specify which emulators can and cant be used on a server to prevent those people who stop by to play on their own and act like dicks to the owner and other players. Individual font styles and colors would be nice as well so it is a more customozable and social program. Private messages would also be a great addition.
A way to directly connect to people to send games and emulator install files would also be great too. The point of all this being, if more people stay in the servers, the more the servers will be used and kaillera would be a better program for online entertainmet.

What you're hearin' right there is one of the very first songs recorded at Sun Studios. Sun Studios, of Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison fame, of course. But that incredible, aching sound is none other than Big Walter "Shakey" Horton. One of the greatest harmonica players of all time. Sam Phillips, founder of Sun, said it best "When Big Walter played, the blues fell all over you." So who was Big Walter? Let's hear about him from another great harp player, Charlie Musselwhite.
He was from Memphis. Actually, he was from Mississippi but grew up around Memphis, Walter was the kind of guy that to entertain himself he was always putting everybody on with a straight face. He'd just tell you whatever he thought was funny to himself as the absolute truth. He was a great harp player. To me, he was the first harp player that really stepped away from being just another harp blower and became a player. He could play anything. He would play big band swing era tunes like String of Pearls and In the Mood and stuff like that. I once heard him playing on a chromatic what sounded to me like the Vienna Waltz or something, classical sort of stuff, and I don't know what it was. And I was afraid to ask him, because I knew he wouldn't give me the right answer. He told me that he taught Sonny Boy Williamson II, Rice Miller, and Little Walter, and I used to think, sure, okay, Shaky, I'll believe you. But over the years, more and more people that I knew that had known Walter in Memphis when he was growing up all said that it was true, that Sonny Boy and Little Walter came to Memphis to meet Shaky Walter to learn how to play, because he was the harp player. – Charlie Musselwhite
Walter Horton, also known as Big Walter and Shakey Horton, was born April 6, 1918 in Horn Lake, Mississippi. Having taught himself to play harmonica at 5 years old, he got his moniker, "Shakey," from the way he moved his head as he played. As a young man he relocated to Memphis, where he played among the Beale street set. Dubbed by Willie Dixon as possibly the greatest Harmonica player he ever heard, legend has it that Big Walter gave lessons to Sonny Boy Williamson II and even taught harp master Little Walter, to whom he gave up his name.
Big Walter's first recordings were made in 1939, backing guitarist Little Buddy Doyle. He was also among the first to be recorded by Sam Philips for Sun Studios. Phillips is the one who famously said "When Big Walter played the blues fell all over you." Soon he moved to Chicago where he worked with other legends of Chicago blues.
Big Walter was known for being able to play almost anything on the harp—from big toned blues, to classical waltzes. You can hear his impeccable sense of time on iconic tracks like Otis Rush's "I Cant Quit You Baby" and Jimmy Rogers' "Walkin' By Myself." Look for him accompanying John Lee Hooker in the classic Blues Brother's scene.
Big Walter passed away in 1981.

United States District Court, E.D. Washington
October 11, 2017
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.CHARLES DEWIGHT ROGERS, Defendant.
September 22, 25, and 28, 2017, the court held evidentiary
hearings in this matter. Defendant Gilpatrick was also
present, in custody, and represented by CJA counsel Jeffrey
Niesen. Defendant Rogers was present, in custody, and
represented by Daniel Rubin of the Federal Defenders of
Eastern Washington and Idaho. Assistant United States
Attorney Patrick Cashman appeared for the Government. At the
evidentiary hearings the court heard testimony from Secret
Service Agent Gregory Ligouri and Defendant Gilpatrick. The
court also heard argument from defense counsel. On September
28, 2017, the court held a sentencing hearing for Defendant
Gilpatrick. On October 6, 2017, the court held a sentencing
hearing for Defendant Rogers. This Order memorializes and
supplements the court's oral rulings at the above
February 22, 2017, an Indictment was returned, with Count 1
charging both Gilpatrick and Rogers with Manufacturing
Counterfeit Obligations or Securities of the United States in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 471. Count 2 of the Indictment
charged Gilpatrick with Uttering Counterfeit Obligations or
Securities in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 472. Count 3 of
the Indictment charged Rogers with Uttering Counterfeit
Obligations or Securities in violation of 18 U.S.C. §
472. (ECF No. 1).
On June
2, 2017, Rogers entered a plea of guilty to Count 3 of the
Indictment. (ECF No. 46); (ECF No. 44). The Plea Agreement
specifically recognized the court was not required to accept
the parties' recommendations for sentencing and that the
court "will determine Defendant's applicable
sentencing guideline range at sentencing." (ECF No. 44
at ¶¶2, 7). The court is not bound by the
parties' stipulation regarding applicable offense level
enhancements. U.S.S.G. § 6B1.4(d); see U.S. v.
Easterling, 921 F.3d 1073, 1078-79 (10th Cir.
1990) (holding a district court may consider information not
stipulated in the plea agreement and is not bound by the
parties' stipulation); U.S. v. Rutter, 897 F.2d
1558, 1563-65 (10th Cir. 1990) (affirming the
district court's application of an offense level
enhancement not contained within the plea agreement because
the parties' agreement was not binding on the court and
the court could consider information beyond that stipulated
to by the parties).
A two
level increase to the offense level applies "[i]f the
defendant (A) manufactured or produced any counterfeit
obligation or security of the United States, or possessed or
had custody of or control over a counterfeiting device or
materials used for counterfeiting." U.S.S.G. §
2B5.1(b)(2)(A). This enhancement requires "some linkage
to the actual production of counterfeit obligations."
U.S. v. Allen, 434 F.3d 1166, 1172
(9thCir. 2006); see also, U.S. v.
Malone, 49 F.3d 393, 399 (8th Cir. 1995)
(finding evidence of the devices, testimony from the
co-defendant, possession of the master bill, and portions of
counterfeit bills "constitutes reliable evidence that
[the defendant] manufactured counterfeit bills.").
Evidence of counterfeit bills is "[o]rdinarily ...
proof that counterfeit devices or materials were
'used' to produce counterfeit obligations."
Allen, 434 F.3d at 1172. Expert testimony may also
establish the link between the counterfeit bills and the
devices used to manufacture those bills."
(Id.). However, this enhancement "does not
apply to persons who produce items that are so obviously
counterfeit that they are unlikely to be accepted even if
subjected to only minimal scrutiny." U.S.S.G. §
2B5.1, App. Note 3.
A two
level increase to the offense level applies "[i]f a
dangerous weapon (including a firearm) was possessed in
connection with the offense." U.S.S.G. §
2B5.1(b)(4). Where the United States Sentencing Guidelines
uses the term "in connection with, " the Ninth
Circuit holds that phrase "mean[s] that the firearm
must have been possessed in a manner that permits an
inference that it facilitated or potentially facilitated-i.e.
had some potential emboldening role in-a defendant's
felonious conduct." U.S. v. Ellis, 241 F.3d
1096, 1099 (9th Cir. 2001) (quotation marks and
citation omitted). Here, the firearm was found in Defendant
Rogers' hotel room along with counterfeit bills and
drugs. However, no evidence was presented whereby the court
could infer Rogers possessed the firearm in connection with
his offense of uttering counterfeit obligations. The
possession of the firearm in the hotel room was too
attenuated to those actions. Accordingly, the court did not
apply this enhancement.
It is
the court's duty to determine the offense level and any
applicable enhancements under the United States Sentencing
Guidelines. Molina-Martinez v. U.S., 136 S.Ct. 1338,
1342 (2016); U.S.S.G. § 1B1.1(a)(2); see also,
U.S.S.G. § 6B1.4(d) ("The court is not bound by
the stipulation [of the parties contained in the plea
agreement], but may with the aid of the presentence report,
determine the facts relevant to sentencing."). The
court may sua sponte raise the issue of whether an
enhancement applies. See U.S. v. Hong Van Nguyen,
303 Fed.Appx. 441, 443 (9th Cir. 2008)
(unpublished) (rejecting a defendant's appeal of a
district court imposing an enhancement the Government agreed
not to pursue and stating "[a] stipulation and
recommendation in a plea agreement does not bind the district
court") (citing U.S.S.G. § 6B1.4(d)).
resolving any dispute concerning a factor important to the
sentencing determination, the court may consider relevant
information without regard to its admissibility under the
rules of evidence applicable at trial, provided that the
information has sufficient indicia of reliability to support
its probable accuracy." U.S.S.G. § 6A1.3(a);
see also, U.S. v. Petty, 982 F.2d 1365,
1367-68 (9th Cir. 1993). The court may rely on the
testimony of a co-defendant "where... the testimony is
given under oath and is subject to cross-examination."
U.S. v. Flores, 725 F.3d 1028, 1038 (9th
Cir. 2013); see also, U.S. v.
Pimentel-Lopez, 859 F.3d 1134, 1144 (9th Cir.
2016) (finding a co-defendant's testimony that is not
under oath or subject to cross-examination did not establish
a "minimal indicia of reliability").
burden of proof does not fall on the Defendant.
Allen, 434 F.3d at 1173.
courts generally use the preponderance of the evidence
standard of proof when finding facts at sentencing."
U.S. v. Hymas, 780 F.3d 1285, 1289 (9th
Cir. 2015) (quotation marks and citation omitted). "The
higher clear and convincing standard may apply, however, when
a sentencing factor has an extremely disproportionate effect
on the sentence relative to the offense of conviction.
[citation omitted] Particularly where a severe sentencing
enhancement is imposed on the basis of uncharged or acquitted
conduct, due process may require clear and convincing
evidence of that conduct." (Id.) (quotation
marks and citation omitted). The Ninth Circuit requires
evaluation of six factors to determine whether a sentencing
factor has a "disproportionate impact" on the
(1) whether the enhanced sentence falls within the maximum
sentence for the crime alleged in the indictment; (2) whether
the enhanced sentence negates the presumption of innocence or
the prosecution's burden of proof for the crime alleged
in the indictment; (3) whether the facts offered in support
of the enhancement create new offenses requiring separate
punishment; (4) whether the increase in sentence is based on
the extent of a conspiracy; (5) whether an increase in the
number of offense levels is less than or equal to four; and
(6) whether the length of the enhanced sentence more than
doubles the length of the sentence authorized by the initial
sentencing guideline range in a case where the defendant
would otherwise have received a relatively short sentence.
(Id. at 1290) (quoting U.S. v. Treadwell,
593 F.3d 990, 1000 (9th Cir. 2010).
manufacturing enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B5.1(b)(2)
does not take the guideline range beyond the 20 year
statutory maximum for the offense of Uttering Counterfeit
Obligations or Securities in violation of 18 U.S.C. §
472. The enhancement for manufacturing counterfeit bills
stems from the conduct for which Defendant pled guilty.
See Hymas, 780 F.3d at 1290. The enhancement has no
impact on the burden of proof or Defendant's presumption
of innocence for the charges in the Indictment because he has
already pled guilty to Uttering Counterfeit Obligations.
Additionally, the enhancement does not create a new offense,
because the manufacturing stems from the Uttering Counterfeit
Obligations offense conduct and does not involve a pending
criminal charge of manufacturing counterfeit obligations.
Guideline enhancements do not require proof beyond a
reasonable doubt. The Indictment did not charge Defendant
with a conspiracy nor was he convicted of a conspiracy.
See (ECF No. 1); Hymas, 780 F.3d at 1290.
enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B5.1(b)(2) only increases
the offense level by two. The court declined to apply
U.S.S.G. § 2B5.1(b)(3) which would increase the offense
level to level 15 based on a finding that the two level
enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B5.1(b)(2) applies.
Without that additional enhancement, Defendants' Offense

Today wasn't really so lazy - a yoga class and volunteering filled most of the sunlit hours - but I've been enjoy every lazy minute lately reading Walden. It has me ready to go into the woods and start building a cabin myself... well, once this freezing weather lets up anyways. Until then I'm enjoying the amazing and sexy scent of Archipelago Black Forest candles which have filled the apartment with a woodsy and wintry scent.

We've been working on improving the bookshelves next to our TV for months now, but there is one final thing that will pull the whole thing together. We finally figured out how to cover our cords and electronics on the shelf so it looks like we have none!
This project turned out really well. You would have no idea that our WiFi and smart home stuff are sitting on the shelf next to our TV because all you see is cool old books!
Here's the supplies and tools we needed to do it:
- Wooden box OR wood plank (5" high X however long it needs to be to cover the space)
- Saw
- Wood glue & clamps OR screws and screw gun
- 10-15 hardback books (amount varies with project size)
- Hot glue gun
- Razor blade
We got a wooden storage box at Target and Justin began cutting it apart with his Japanese hand saw. He cut the bottom out and left a few inches on the sides so it could stand up on its own. You could also get a wood plank as long as the area you need to cover and glue or screw short sides on it so it stands alone. The wooden surround should only be about 5" tall so the books are taller than it.
Justin had to attach the sides of the box together since it wasn't long enough for our area. He used wood glue and clamps.
Now that we have our wooden surround ready its time to add the book spines to it. I had a stack of hardback vintage books that I was willing to part with. Your books don't have to be vintage, but they should be book spines that you'd like to look at on your shelf. I recommend looking at yard sales or thrift stores for the best deals on books. I also recommend that the colors you choose are neutral or complimentary to each other.
Before you start cutting the covers off your books here's one tip. Arrange you books in an order that looks best for the space and is the correct length to cover it. This is also the time to move books around, make sure you like how the different heights coordinate and that you like the overall look.
I then stacked the book up next to me and started cutting the spines off with a razor blade. I made sure to get the back, but also a little of the flexible part that curves around the corner of the book. This will look best since the books will have more of a 3D look. I started by hot gluing an uncut book to the side of the surround so you see a full book from the side.
Then I hot glued the individual spines to the wooden surround as I cut them off. I found what worked well was to take a page of one the books and fold it so it fits into the inside spine piece. I first hot glued the paper to the spine then I hot glued the spine to the wood.
From the back you can see the inside of the book spines and the paper rolled in them so they don't have to be pushed flat against the wood.
Repeat till all the spines are glued to the surround. Add another solid book to the other end. Now check out how it looks in it's spot!

In an earlier blog post, I wrote about my transformation into Tech Girl, a mature woman who would swoop in to rescue digitally challenged elders who were being attacked by electronic personal assistants and harassed by poorly designed log in routines. And, while I am still looking forward to that superhero assignment once I retire and have the time I need to become a proper superhero–wardrobe, branding, licensing and insurance coverage—I am increasingly concerned that I am actually losing other superpowers. Actually, what seems to be to be superpowers at age 66 were talents I took for granted a few decades ago. These seem to be simple enough tasks but it should be remembered that even a genius like Siri can't do these things very easily so I should give myself a break as well and not be too concerned with these changes.
These superpowers once in hand no longer easily accessed include:
The Begats. Keeping the names and the progeny of friends and family members straight and remembering without effort who gave birth to whom and in what order. Like the Old Testament in Genesis with all those begats. This contemporary version is harder because it seems back then everyone had his own name and you didn't have to keep straight all the many Mallorys, Melanies, Melissas and Madison who are in your life.
Old dogs: no tricks. Adults are often surprised beyond reason when they hear a toddler speak perfect French. Well, maybe not like the French majors at the Sorbonne but French that is better than mine despite years of adult effort. While learning algebra or verb tenses seemed to be a normal part of growing up, learning some things grows harder as you age. It seems the memorizing part of your brain diminishes and the area of your brain some idiot designed for forgetting swells up. This is like saving something special in the refrigerator for lunch and having your partner pitch it in the trash (over and over again.)
Disappearing acts. In my earlier days, I could cavalierly reject the advice from Benjamin Franklin or Felix Unger—a place for everything and everything in its place. I could find things no matter I misplaced them. I had a great memory. My bathing suit? At the bottom of the swimming pool. My driver's license? In that pair of pants I wore last summer. My keys? Somewhere in the house. None of these things were really missing. Just temporarily not in my possession. Now, I am seriously constrained. I spend way too much time putting things where they belong. The ease of the spontaneity has gone. Now, I have a Container Store mentality—I can't not worry about storage and filing and I hate it. Now, when I lose things, I know right away that they are seriously lost. There is no mystery or hope or wonder.
Mindlessness. There is a lot written about the brain's executive function. As I understand it, this is your brain's control center. Like an air traffic manager, this function manages thoughts in and out; it lines up activities. It is a big to-do list maker, directing everything from brushing your teeth to ordering your bigger priorities. I used to leave this function to operate itself. I was confident in the management of my brain. In fact, I would be happy to give it a outsized salary and stock options; it was that high-performing. However, after a decade of disappointing results, I mounted a hostile takeover of operations. Never mind, I grumbled, I'll do it myself. Now, I spend more time managing things—to do lists everywhere in every format. I write them over and over again. It is weird, no doubt. It is like ordering yourself to do work, like a memo from a manager who doesn't want to deal with you face-to-face. I have moved from the pleasure of automatic pilot to to-do list automaton. I miss the mindless me.
A tale thrice (or more) told. There is no question but that I was blessed with a reliable memory. Not only could I remember a personal story, I could also recall when and with whom I had shared the tale. Now, when I am about to make a point with that story, I preface the presentation with, "I may have said this to you before" only to have the other party nod as quickly as they can so they don't have to sit through another rendering. Not only is this embarrassing because it appears you have no recollection of this important conversation you had with your colleague, it is also makes it virtually impossible to lie effectively. To be a great liar, you have to keep track of your tracks and if you can't do that, you need to be careful with your truth. Maybe, that is why the very young find their grandparents so lovely. Children sense that these elders are not as scheming as their parents because they can't be. They don't have good enough memories to cook up an airtight tale. They do, however, have enormous powers to make up things because the facticity of things seems to matter less.
In any case, all these powers came very easily to me in an earlier version of myself and now that they don't, I am thinking I should make plans to cover my deficits and move onto to some important work legacy-like work. And, in fact, I think the powers that I will discuss below are sufficient compensation for any of the superpowers that I have lost.
I am thinking about the next stage of my life and what I need to leave behind. Erikson's theories of development suggest that in the last two stages of development that adults are first directed to fashion accomplishments that will outlast them. These efforts are often directed to some work or activities that result in a positive impact for others. The final stage of life is a reflective one where a feeling of fulfillment and contentment may surface if one feels satisfaction from earlier stages.
To guide me in this important work, I draw upon two reservoirs of wisdom: first, the theory of mattering and second, the idea of the summoned life. Mattering is a social psychological concept developed and tested by Professor Gregg Elliott at Brown University. Of all the reading I have done in this field, the appeal of mattering stands out in its power and simplicity. Elliott's work focuses on adolescent development and mattering explains much in a few empirically tested premises. Three elements are at play here. First, does this child feel that it matters to others that he shows up? Or does he feel invisible when he enters a room? Second, does she feel that other people are invested in her success? Do they indicate that they are on her team? Will they take an extra step for her? Will she feel that she is the object of their special attention? And finally, does the child understand that others can rely on her? That they depend on her to take care of them in some way? Does she appreciate those qualities that she has that others recognize but may be invisible to her?
In my read, mattering works in two dimensions: Am I important to them and are they important to me? Elliott proposed that for children, the former can balance out an absence of the latter. In other words, a child can be neglected by his parents (or the opposite—subject to the object of too much of the wrong kind of attention) yet feel as if he matters if he feels his little brother is relying on him for protection, if his aunt can trust with him to complete his chores, or if a teacher understands that this child will protect more vulnerable children and the child acknowledges that her faith in his goodness.
Although designed to help us understand the treacherous waters of adolescence, mattering has significant practical appeal at each stage of our lives. As an older adult and faculty member, I use every opportunity to help my students understand that they matter. I offer investments and interest–Can I write you a letter of recommendation? I missed you in class on Monday; are you OK? I help them to recognize their strengths, as I understand them. You have such strong analytical abilities, I say. Have you thought about graduate school? Or, I saw how upset you seemed by that comment from that other student. You showed great restraint and did a wonderful job returning our class discussion to a more productive exchange. That takes real emotional maturity. We are lucky to have you in this class.
I think about a younger generation of colleagues and the challenges they face in moving up and finding their place in the world. For someone with my career trajectory—finding my calling at age fifty—I am a good example of someone who has led a life of experimentation and 'try and see'. But things seem much more serious for this generation I consider all the messages they receive about how to value their lives. E.E. Cummings once wrote, "To be nobody-but-yourself—in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else—means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
That sense of constantly working towards who we are is a profound recognition of the second source of wisdom, lessons about the summoned life to use the term coined by David Brooks. On the surface of it, the summoned life appears to stand in direct opposition to living to execute one's passion. Brooks suggests that there are two paths of living one's life. The first is to drill down and find one's passion and direct one's energy toward fulfilling. This path seems to be the chief and only commandment adopted by career guidance services and admissions offices in colleges. We will help you put your passion into practice. You will never be happy until your passion aligns with your actions. But, the truth of is that we can move through many stages of development in our lives and that the individual who knows his passion early on may be the rare case.
The alternative path is the summoned life where contingencies and circumstances call you to action. We may be without a driving dream but we do have an integrity that is so strong that others seek to engage it. We may lack passion because we are divided among multiple interests but someone sees that we find connections they elude others. We are the sort of people who integrate ideas not dice them into tiny bits.
Like being inspired by mattering, I am likewise energized by this idea of the summoned life and the sort of work I want to engage people in. I would like to create flight plans for enrolling others in the summoned life and in embracing daily practices of mattering. I believe these are important tools for legacy making, not in grand gestures but in generously and lovingly passing along our belief and confidence in generations to come. Both help us understand and activate Erikson's concept of generativity—the concern for making a mark, for co-creating a desirable future, and for making a sense of optimism about the future grounded in purpose. Maybe, these are super-powers that can only be granted if we are willing and able to forego others.

Things have been slow at my day job, so I've been on a tighter budget for the past few months. I got tipped off to a hell of an opportunity I just couldn't pass up on though, so I headed north for the weekend to do some buying for the shop.
In small town USA lives a guy who's mother did theatre costuming from the 1940s-1980s. When the threatre closed, she got to keep all 15,000+ costume pieces (talk about a perk!) She died a few years back, but he never held an estate sale. He just hung on to everything, and stashed it in a barn. Until recently, he had no clue there was a market for old clothes.
Eventually someone clued him in though, the word got out, and slowly but steadily pieces have been sold off. When I visited him this weekend, he said there were about 5,000 pieces left. Much of it I had to pass on due to condition issues, but there's still plenty of very wearable stuff, mainly from the 50s and 70s. And while I won't leak #'s, I will say this: I got a hell of a deal. I love when this happens, because then I can keep prices lower too : D.
Anyway… it was the shock of my life to come accross such an opportunity. Things like this used to be the norm in the vintage clothing industry, but nowadays most estates get raided by museums and upscale Hollywood shops long before the public is alerted. I was honestly shocked by how much was left. You'd think a big name dealer would've purchased the entire lot.
Because I made other purchases from thrift shops, I only had so much room in my car. But believe me, I'll be back to this secret stash of hidden treasure!
Here are a few pieces from the haul:
Disco divinity! It's no secret that I love 70s poly dresses like this. And I love the clothes Frederick's of Hollywood used to make. Best of both worlds. The 2nd picture shows the true color better, which is a lavender.
50s and gathered and floral and full skirted. Oh my. Jewel tones are so underrated.
Have you ever seen a 50s dress where the beading is fringed like that? That was more common with 60s dresses, which makes this quite an oddity. Pretty carnation pink lace, with a full skirt and rhinestones, faux pearls, and bugle beads on the bust. Fun.
Easter everywhere. 50s cutie pie in a large scale check. Lightweight cotton in a cheerful light green and pink color scheme. Already sold.
Colorful + 70s + cropped length = the perfect top for mixing with this springs trends. This one has also sold.
The touch, the feel, the fabric of our lives. Not cotton folks, rayon. Smooth, silky, cold to the touch 40s rayon. Totally luxe; nothing has been made like it since, making this a rare treat. I love the color scheme of this dress. Plus it's shirred shoulders and lil' bows.
Obsessed. Vintage Bali crochet stuff is killer! Plus the embroidery and scalloped hems on this piece are pretty sweet.
Serious 'what the fuck' moment, in a good way! 50s halter dress w/ a skirting overlayer made of asymmetrical fishnet mesh… which has a beige paint splatters all over it. If Lydia from Beetle Juice time traveled to the Eames era, she would've worn this.
Move it, Barbie! Bombshell 50s wiggle dress with a mermaid/fishtail hem. The outer layer is black tulle, which has tons upon tons of lil' black ribbons and metallic silver threads woven throughout.
Oooooh yeah. I dubbed this dress 'la Parisienne' because it reminds me of Miss Pandora, one of my favorite fashion bloggers. I could totally see her in this, rocking some black Louboutin heels so the soles would match the print!
Amazing 60s party dress in a quilted rose print, with an empire waist and fringed hem. I'll probably end up kicking myself for letting this go.
I can't help but wonder who the actresses were that wore these, and what plays they were used in. Gigi? South Pacific?
There's much more on the way of course. Just wait, honey child.
Hope you all had wonderful weekends and Valentine's Days! I'm so glad fashion week is going on. I can't wait to see what the fall trends will be.

A microbiology technician stuck her son's hand in a petri dish, and reminded the Internet that we're all covered in germs. And that's not a bad thing.
Tasha Sturm, a microbiology tech at Cabrillo College, told The Huffington Post that she had her 8-year-old son make a handprint in a petri dish filled with agar jelly.
Next, she put the plate in her lab's incubator. Warmed to body temperature and fed by agar jelly, the bacteria and fungus on her son's hand grew into the cultures you see above. The picture has been viewed 2 million times on Imgur.
"There's nothing on that plate that was horrific," Sturm explained. The blotches are all likely common bacteria, she said.
"Bacteria is everywhere. We get a healthy immune system from things like this," she added. "There's too much hysteria about bugs."
And her son? "He thought it was the neatest thing on the planet," she said.

China shuts websites illegally selling weaponsSeptember 22nd, 2011 - 11:38 pm ICT by IANS
Beijing, Sep 22 (IANS) China has shut down several websites that were found to be illegally selling guns and explosives, authorities said Thursday.
The ministry of public security investigated 15 websites, including domestic search engine giant Baidu, resulting in the shutdown of five websites.
The ministry also ordered the deletion of 23,000 online posts containing illegal information, reported Xinhua.
The ministry in August began a three-month crackdown on websites that were illegally selling weapons, vowing to stop domestic websites from trafficking illegal items or providing information on how to manufacture them.
Website administrators have been told to review their sites and delete illegal posts, as well as report illegal content to the police.
Chinese law prohibits civilians from possessing guns, ammunition, explosives and certain types of knives.

Clearside outlines Zuprata development plans
Clearside Biomedical (NASDAQ:CLSD) has outlined development plans for its Zuprata proprietary form of the corticosteroid triamcinolone, acetonide, for the treatment of macular edema associated with non-infectious uveitis, macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and diabetic macular edema (DME).
In the third quarter report, CEO, Daniel White, said Clearside is continuing to enroll patients in PEACHTREE, its Phase 3 trial of suprachoroidal Zuprata in macular edema associated with non-infectious uveitis.
The six-month pivotal trial is expected to enroll approximately 150 patients, with approximately 90 patients randomized into an active treatment arm to receive suprachoroidal Zuprata and approximately 60 patients randomized into a control arm to receive a sham suprachoroidal procedure with no drug administered.
Clearside also intends to initiate Phase 3 trials of suprachoroidal Zuprata in treating RVO in the first half of 2017.
While Clearside plans to announce detailed information about the Phase 3 RVO program at a later date, Mr. White said the trials are being designed to assess whether suprachoroidal Zuprata in combination with intravitreal aflibercept show superior visual acuity outcomes, compared with monthly injections of intravitreal aflibercept alone.
"We believe that an injection of Zuprata administered to the suprachoroidal space, along with an intravitreal injection of an anti-VEGF agent like aflibercept, has the potential to improve visual outcomes relatively rapidly, as compared to treatment with anti-VEGF monotherapy," Mr. White added.
In addition, he said Clearside is planning a multi-center, open-label Phase 1/2 trial to evaluate a combination therapy of aflibercept and Zuprata, as well as Zuprata monotherapy, in patients with DME over a six-month evaluation period.
The company expects to enroll the first patient in this trial before the end of 2016.
Regarding wet AMD, Mr. White said Clearside is developing a proprietary suspension formulation of axitinib and has scheduled a pre-IND meeting with the FDA prior to the end of 2016. Following this meeting, the company expects to submit an IND application for axitinib.

One more property has just been added to the market for luxury cottages of celebrities. Actress and model Kristanna Loken is marketing her Cape Cod home for $950,000.
Kristanna Loken's home is found in 517 Delaware Rd, Burbank, California 91504. It contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is 2,626 square feet wide. The classic home was built in the year 1948. It has an England impression making it ideal for an Englander living in California. Real estate agent Eric Benz said the house has a different feel aside from the usual Southern California homes. According to him, it can be felt as soon as you enter the place.
The Property's Design
The driveway of the Burbank home has a cobblestone design structure. The property is lavishly ventilated by a 25-pane bay window and twin dormers which light the bedrooms on the second floor. The home stands out among other luxury cottages because of its unique circular flooring design. The flooring is also wood paneled making the property warm and cozy. The home's design is both classic and stylish.
The Rooms
The cottage features a formal but chic dining room design. The couple of bathrooms are traditionally tiled with claw foot bathtubs. The kitchen has laid-back furnishings that convey a cooling ambience. Kitchen structures consist of green cupboards and checkered walls. The interior architecture of the living room features a traditionally assembled mantled furnace. The living room is spacious and can be easily redesigned to suit the owner's needs. It is an ideal den for book lovers because of its wood-wall structure.
The Surroundings
The place has a lush garden to compliment the property. The garden boasts a champagne grape vine, a matured fig tree and a shade tree. Fresh air from the Eastern seaboard can be experienced whilst on the property. The balcony also overlooks a mountainous landscape.
Kristanna Loken is popularly known for her roles in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines", and "Lime Salted Love". She also starred in some TV shows such as "Painkiller Jane" and "The L Word." She was raised in an upstate farm in New York. She is an American artist who has a projected net worth of $4 million dollars.

7 Tips to help a Distracted Child
1. Keep a calm home environment. This means not yelling at your child if he doesn't mind you or settle down to do his homework. Of course every parent can be pushed to the extreme and "loses it" occasionally. Every parent yells or screams at a child once in awhile. If this happens, simply apologize to your child and reassure him that you love him, while explaining that his behavior is sometimes frustrating
2. Limit media distractions in your home. Many children are not as good at filtering out noise as adults are. This means that having the television on while your child is trying to do her homework may interfere with her ability to concentrate. Limit your child to one hour of "screen time" per day. This means limiting television, electronic games and other forms of eye-candy. The American Academy of Pediatrics warns that early exposure to television is associated with ADHD in children. They also recommend that parents not put a television set in the child's room, and that you keep the TV turned off when you are not watching a specific program.
3. Have your child's vision and hearing tested. If your child suddenly starts to have trouble at school, take him to the pediatrician for a vision and hearing test. Sometimes a child is not able to express that he is having trouble seeing or hearing clearly. Several times in my experience, a child's teacher thought he might have ADHD, when the real problem was nearsightedness.
4. Stay positive in your child's presence. Don't argue with your spouse or partner when you child is around. Surprisingly, children worry about their parents just as much as their parents worry about them. Hearing parents argue or even talk in loud voices can be scary to a child. Even if the arguments are not serious, to a child's vivid imagination arguments might signify that his parents are headed for a divorce. Tell your child only the good things in your life, and keep the arguments for when the child is not present. Even if your child is in the other room, he can still hear your tone of voice and pick up on angry feelings. To air out differences, parents should think about having lunch together or taking a walk alone to clear the air.
5. Be "in the moment" with you child at least once every day. Have a few minutes each day when you can focus 100% of your attention on your child: read her a book, play a short board game, or make a drawing or a painting together. If you prefer outdoor games, go to the park and play basketball or tennis with your child.
6. Have clear rules and enforce them consistently. Parents should come to agreement about the rules concerning their child, and back each other up. Being on the same page about discipline is especially crucial if a child is having trouble focusing.
7. Enroll your child in a sport to channel his / her extra energy. If your child is "hyper," he may need more outlets for his/her energy. Remember, Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps had trouble focusing in the classroom and was diagnosed with ADHD. After being on medication for four years, Phelps decided that the medication was an unnecessary crutch. With the help and support of his doctor, he weaned himself off medication at age thirteen. Phelps learned to control his inattentiveness at school by using the power of his mind, and found a wholesome outlet for his extra energy in competitive swimming.

The Coffin Dancer: A Novel
Abridged Audiobook
Written By: Jeffery Deaver
Narrated By: Joe Mantegna
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Date: September 1998
Duration: 5 hours 30 minutes
Detective Lincoln Rhyme, the foremost criminalist in the NYPD, is on the hunt for an elusive murderer, the Coffin Dancer. He's a brilliant hit man who changes his appearance even faster than he adds to his trail of victims, only one of whom has lived long enough to offer a clue: the assassin has an eerie tattoo on his arm of the Grim Reaper waltzing with a woman in front of a casket.
Rhyme, tragically paralyzed from a line-of-duty accident, continues to tutor his beautiful protege, Detective Amelia Sachs, in the art of criminal hunting. Rhyme's suspicion of an earlier encounter with this killer fuels his bitter taste for vengeance. When the chameleonlike assassin targets three federal witnesses for death, the stakes reach a new high. Rhyme's brainpower and Sachs' legwork are the only tools they have to track the cunning murderer through the subways, parks, and airports of a darkly painted New York City. They have 48 hours to keep the witnesses alive before a grand jury convenes.
With The Coffin Dancer, Deaver uses his trademark plot twists to keep this fast-paced, masterly thriller steamrolling along with breathtaking speed.

Russian Scientist develop new cheap way to produce nuclear fuel using electricity
Scientists from Russia have developed a new unique, low-cost method for producing high-quality nuclear fuel using electricity.
It is alternative novel method that forms the basis of powder metallurgy and involves electric pulse sintering under pressure.
The main type of fuel for nuclear power reactors is the uranium oxide pellet composition. It is produced from a powder by granulation, pressing, and sintering (coalescing into a solid or porous mass by heating) with the subsequent control of the quality and size of the pellets.
Key Facts
- In the new method, the mould is heated by passing electric current with the uranium oxide pellet powder placed in.
- The uranium oxide fuel is simultaneously influenced by the powerful pulse discharge and mechanical pressure
- Products of high quality are obtained in low cost.
- Reduces number of production stages without increasing the cost.
- Fuel pellets can be produced even from uranium dioxide powder, which is not suitable for the conventional technology.

Showing hockey from its best side
The IIHF World Championship is being hosted by Minsk in less than 500 days, bringing discussion of finer details
By Konstantin Semakov
The release date for tickets has been decided, alongside ways of making guests feel especially welcome, notes the Chairman of the Belarusian Ice Hockey Federation, Yevgeny Vorsin, who heads the directorate for the world championship. He opened a recent conference by saying, "This will be the best championship of recent years as regards its organisation; nobody else has prepared as meticulously as we are doing."
The conference was delayed in opening by half an hour, as one of the key participants was stuck in traffic: hardly a positive start. However, once the meeting was underway, any doubts faded, leaving all present to believe that the organisation will be the best yet, due to meticulous attention to detail.
Mr. Vorsin's assertions are more than mere words, prompted by the desire to promote Minsk and Belarus to tourists for many years to come. The immediate revenue generated from the ice hockey tournament is secondary to this longer-term target. Mr. Vorsin emphasised that rumours regarding the championship being moved elsewhere are without foundation. "During a recent IIHF Congress, not a single delegate doubted the feasibility of Belarus' hosting of the event. The issue is no longer on the agenda — and will never return," he stresses.
The International Ice Hockey Federation has sent three commissions to conduct inspections. All, including the last (in November), noted that work had been completed ahead of schedule. Accommodation for tourists and officials has been a key issue, since around 100,000 are expected to arrive for the event. Comfortable yet inexpensive hotels are required. To avoid a repeat of what happened during Ukraine's hosting of the European Football Championship, prices are to be tightly monitored to avoid artificial hikes; hotels will be prohibited from raising prices by more than 10 percent during the IIHF World Championship. Minsk can currently accommodate around 20,000, with guests welcomed by the Students' Village and university hostels, as well as traditional hotels. The academic year of 2014 is to be cut by a month or so to free up student accommodation.
Tickets are to go on sale worldwide next September, for individual matches and packages. Those planning to attend need only their ticket and passport, as visas for sports-fans are to be abolished — an unprecedented move. A standard tourist package will include a ticket, accommodation (ranging from a five star hotel to simple hostel bed), an excursion and souvenirs.
Work continues on improving roads and other infrastructure as well as catering options, while guides and taxi drivers are being encouraged to study foreign languages. One issue remains: the naming of the championship's symbol — a small auroch. A contest is soon to be announced, inviting ideas. The winner will be awarded a worthy prize.

Hi Marco,
Everything that is available is shown on the project page. There is no kit for this project.
Yes, the code on the site if the basic one. Please email me for the one you would like.
Please use the 2.56A version of PICBasic Pro.
You can start here.
This was featured on Hacked Gadgets. There should be a link in the article with more info.

Great to hear!
I think all you may need is a motion sensor that has a time output needed for the shortest delay then build a pulse stretcher circuit for the longer delay needed.
Sorry this controller can't control strip lights due to their power consumption.
You might want to connect the beam sensor and see if it starts to work.
A sensor chip like this might work well for you.
The CNC machine is lots of fun. You can see the company who makes it here.
Hi Findo,
You can use normal 5mm ones like the ones that we sell.
Looks great Noel. Thanks for sharing it.
