What is that "wood thing" on your logo?
It is a block structure made from "Tree Blocks". I recently made my own set of them see…
I love natural play materials!
What do you mean by "Progressive"?
To sum up what I mean by Progressive when it comes to education I will quote one of my influences, Tom Hobson. "Making discoveries, learning how to make discoveries, learning how to pursue an interest or a question or a passion that leads to discoveries is at the heart of a progressive, play-based education." That is from his great blog here.
Here is a wikipedia page with some of the history of Progressive Education.
A lot of parents send their children to Preschool for socialization. If you are the "Preschool that comes to you" how do you account for that?
As a free service to you I will help parents connect with each other. If you so choose I can share your contact info with other parents that have utilized my services so you can have your children meet and maybe have play dates. Of course I hope you will have me come facilitate the play dates. I have a networking facebook page currently and hope to expand to other media.
So what happens when you come to my house?
Basically I will set up some playful learning experiences for your child(ren) and play with them. I will lay out some tarps or other floor covering to contain the "mess" in whatever space you designate. I focus on Art, Sensory, Fine Motor, Construction, Dramatic Play, Language, and Literacy. See my gallery for a visual idea of what I do.
What am I (the parent) supposed to do while you are here?
You can stay with us and be involved in whatever way you feel comfortable or go get some things done around the house. As long as you are nearby and can be available to your child(ren) if they need you, you can do whatever you want.
I would like to have a few of my child's friends over for a play date for you to facilitate. How does that work?
I would love that! Well, You can invite them over and split the cost with the other children's parents or arrange payment however you wish. I charge by the hour per child. I give discount rates to groups, and an added discount to the "Host" of the play date.
How much do you charge?
Well that depends. It depends on travel time and in some cases preparation time may influence the rate. Typically I charge one price for an individual child per hour, and discounted rates for groups and further discounts for the "Host". I can discuss the rates on a case to case basis, however I endeavor to make it affordable to you. An hour with your child(ren) comes with at least another hour behind the scenes getting ready and cleaning up.I provide all of the materials for the experience the children will have. I charge for the hour with the children, and the rest of the time is included in the rate agreed upon. See my Rates/Packages page for more details.
Ok I want your services, so what now?
You can email me at email@example.com or call me at (585) 410-1121. I will ask you a few questions about your child so I will know best how to serve you and your child(ren) and discuss rates and particulars with you. I am pretty flexible with my services and a lot is open for discussion.
Will you babysit for us?
If you ask me, there is a good chance I will say yes. Call me and we can discuss it.

Honors Sections
Smaller versions or regular required courses offering greater depth and more discussion
Nearly any course at UF could have a Honors version. For example, Physics I Honors covers Newtonian physics (like regular Phyiscs) but adds material on special relativity. Because the students are in Honors, the basic material can be covered a bit faster leaving room for some more advanced concepts. Unfortunately, the Honors program does not have resources to support these offerings. So they typically occur when a department has to offer a lot of sections of course, and can therefore allocate one section of the many to Honors students.
When offering an Honors section, we do not want to students to suffer a GPA penalty for taking it. Students should be held to the same level of mastery as a regular section. If they have mastered the material at an "A" level for the regular section, they should get an A for the Honors section. The extra material and discussion will help prepare them better for subsequent classes and expose them to more difficult concepts.

Nvidia X1 "set top" box/gaming console – News
Yesterday at GDC 2015 (Game Developer Conference), Nvidia announced a device they say will hit the market in May this year.  They called the device the Nvidia Shield X1.  This gaming console as insinuated from the title will house the bleeding edge Nvidia X1 chip.  This is an Android TV device like the Amazon Fire TV (though the Fire OS is running front end) and also the Nexus player. What sets this apart from the rest of the competition is the promise of delivering 4K content from movies and TV shows.
I am a big fan of the Nvidia products.  I have owned many of their products from the original Nvidia Shield to the newest line of their tablets housing the K1 processor.  They do make quality products and from the looks of it, the quality and pizzazz continues with this new announcement.  Ever since the beginning, each of the "Shield" products have offered a "console" mode in which if plugged into an HDMI port you could play the content on your big screen.  I have tried this a few times and found the experience to be lacking and lagging in frame rate. I believe this stems from more of the problems with wireless AC networking rather than the device(s) themselves.  The Nvidia X1 Android TV,  has a built in gigabit ethernet port which nips this issue in the bud.  I always recommend ethernet over wireless.  I am happy to see they have this option built into this box. Â
As you can see, this new device has HDMI, Micro USB (I assume for power), two USB 3.0 ports and a micro SD card slot for expanded storage.  I do like the options provided, the Nexus Player is lacking the ethernet port and thus relies on the inconsistency of wireless technology.  This is one of the many things I love about my Amazon Fire TV is the built in ethernet port.
I've discussed the similarities between the X1 and other Android devices. Â What sets this machine apart from the rest is the claim to run hit titles such as Crisis 3 natively and also able to stream it from your gaming PC. Â While this is great and all I don't see much value in it and here is why; Â 1) If your gaming PC is on, why not just use that to game on rather than another device 2) If you do own the game and want to play it natively on the X1 then you'll have to re-purchase that same game you already have bought on the PC through the Nvidia or Google Store. Â I saw this with Trine 2 which they touted would run natively on their tablet. Â While it did…it required a re-purchase of the same content I already had purchased for my PC. Â I think this is foolish and if there was a way for it to play natively and already see your game purchase library and not make you buy it again for that specific "set-top" Â I'd be all in…I don't see this happening anytime soon though…everyone is too greedy and money hungry.
Nvidia has taken a shot at Microsoft (Xbox) and Sony (Playstation) releasing this console, I mean "Set-Top." Â If you call it a gaming console they get upset! Â This is a disc-less set-top Android TV box that comes with a controller for the 200 dollar price tag. Â Apparently the "Shield Remote" will be sold separately at around 40 dollars. Â I do like the Nvidia cloud gaming GRID as it provides high end gaming to people that can only afford a tablet or an Android TV. Â HOWEVER, they are taking away the FREE price tag and making it a subscription base. Â I HATE SUBSCRIPTIONS! Â KEEP IT FREE! Â I don't like that they have done this, I do not believe the subscription is worth it for a hand full of gaming titles they are consistently updating. You better hope that your internet connection is superb to keep from lagging cloud gaming and missing the button mash at the exact moment when it is needed.
It is for these reasons I would stay away from this product and go with something else that already does all of this. Â While GRID gaming is absent as well as 4K content from Amazon Fire TV it already streams your games from your gaming PC using the app called Limelight. Â It doesn't look as fancy as Nvidia's X1 but I'm more about functionality rather than good looks, hence the reason I'm an Android user and fan. Don't get me wrong, I love Nvidia, my Shield Tablet and my Nvidia graphics cards…but…I think this is a step in the wrong direction with all of these flaws as pointed out.

1. What is a Pore Cleanser?
The Pore Cleanser product is designed to remove excess oil and dirt from your face and nose. It works by applying a low level of suction to your pores, resulting in cleaner skin.
2. How do I use the Pore Cleanser?
The Pore Cleanser comes with a reversible suction cup which has a narrow side, for use on and around the nose, and a wide side, for use on the forehead, chin and cheeks areas.
Using the suction cup on the nose area:
Using the narrow side of the cup, gently wet the tip of your nose and start sliding the Pore Cleanser gently over your nose. Continue for approx. 1 minute to treat the entire lower area of your nose. Rinse your face and apply moisturizing lotion to sooth your skin.
Using the suction cup on the forehead, cheeks and chin areas:
Using the wide side of the cup, apply the Pore Cleanser around your face. Lift the Pore Cleanser away from your skin in a slow, twisting motion, so that your skin is cleansed and released at a steady rhythm. Continue for approx. 4 minutes to treat the entire face area. Rinse your face and apply moisturizing lotion to sooth your skin.
3. How can I get the best results with my Pore Cleanser?
* Open Pores
The Pore Cleanser works most effectively when the pores of your skin are well opened. Because the heat from a hot shower tends to release your pores, it's a good idea to use the Pore Cleanser either during or just after a shower or bath.
* Clean Skin
You should always remove makeup, lotion or soap from your face before using the Pore Cleanser. This ensures that your pores are as accessible as possible.
* Regular Cleaning
We recommend that you use the Pore Cleanser two or three times a week for best results.
4. Should I avoid certain areas of my face?
Avoid using the Pore Cleanser around your eyes, head, hairline border, or on areas where your skin is thinner. Also, the Pore Cleanser should not be used on pimples, blemishes, sunburned, broken or inflamed skin. If you have very sensitive skin, don't use the Pore Cleanser on the same areas more than twice in one cleaning.
5. What does the Suction Increase button do?
Holding this button down while your Pore Cleanser is operating will increase the suction pressure for a stronger cleaning. If you have sensitive skin, you should use this feature carefully.
6. What does the Mist function do, and how do I use it? (Some models only)
The mist cools your skin and closes your pores after you finish treating your skin with the Pore Cleanser.
To use the mist function:
Fill the water tank with water. Turn the suction switch on. Hold the Pore Cleanser about 2 inches away from your face, and press the mist button to spray mist onto your skin. Spray your face with mist for about 10 seconds, and either let dry naturally or gently wipe dry with a soft towel.
7. How long does it take for the Pore Cleanser to recharge? How long does the charge last?
You should let your Pore Cleanser recharge for at least eight hours. Each recharge provides enough energy for about four skin treatments, at a total of five minutes a treatment.
8. How long before I start to see results?
You should use the Pore Cleanser for approximately 2-3 weeks before results are visible. Results vary by individual.

One Less Gun: Five Firearms Recovered in Three Separate Incidents in District B-2 (Roxbury)/
INCIDENT #1: At about 12:45 PM on Thursday, August 24, 2017, members of the Youth Violence Strike Force executed two search warrants in the area of Fayston Street in District B-2 (Roxbury). As a result of an active and ongoing investigation, officers received search warrants for the person of 34-year-old Weekenson Limas of Dorchester and his residence. Upon execution of these warrants, officers recovered three plastic bags of crack cocaine, two plastic bags of marijuana, 10 loose Clonazepam pills, one loaded Charter Arms .38 revolver, one loaded H&R Inc. Model 949 revolver, and additional ammunition.
Officers arrested Limas and charged him with Unlawful Possession of a Firearm (2 counts), Unlawful Possession of Ammunition (2 counts), Unlawfully Carrying a Loaded Firearm, Possession of a Firearm while in Commission of a Felony, Possession with Intent to Distribute Class B Drugs (2nd & Subsequent), Possession with Intent to Distribute Class C Drugs (Clonazepam).
INCIDENT #2: On Sunday, August 20, 2017, officers from District B-2 (Roxbury) responded to a call for a person with a gun in the area of Boston and Howell Streets. Officers were informed that a male had been threatened by a man with a firearm while sitting in his vehicle at a red light. Officers canvassed the area for the suspect and any possible video evidence that may have captured the incident. As a result of the investigation, detectives were able to identify 29-year-old Frank B. Roberto of Dorchester as the suspect in the incident. Detectives applied for and received warrants for Roberto's arrest and a search of his residence.
At about 9:55 PM on Thursday, August 24, 2017, officers and detectives from District B-2, along with members of the YVSF and SWAT, executed the warrants, arresting Roberto and charging him with Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon (Gun). As a result of the search warrant, officers recovered two firearms, two duffel bags of marijuana, thousands of dollars in cash, packaging materials, scales, a money counting machine, and other items consistent with the illegal sale of narcotics. Officers will seek charges relative to the possession of the above contraband. This investigation remains active and ongoing.
INCIDENT #3: At about 2:35 AM on Friday, August 25, 2017, officers from District B-2 (Roxbury) attempted to conduct a stop of a motor vehicle for violations of the auto laws in the area of Normandy and Stanwood Streets, Dorchester. When the vehicle stopped, the operator immediately fled the scene on foot while holding his waistband. Officers gave chase through several backyards. During the pursuit, they observed a loaded magazine fall from the operator's waist. Once officers had apprehended the operator, they recovered the magazine and had a K-9 canvas the operator's flightpath for additional contraband. As a result, the K-9 located an unloaded firearm with no magazine. Officers arrested 31-year-old Calvin Horne of Dorchester and charged him with Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Ammunition, and Unlawfully Carrying a Loaded Firearm. Horne was also cited for several violations of the auto laws.


text: CRUSHER'S MANLY PLAYERS GRADES CHOC (A+) - Massive improvement has led him to become one of the dominant back-rowers in the comp. Speed a superb weapon. Lack of size doesn't seem to effect him. Huge work-rate BK (A+) - Along with J Smith, the buy of the year. Huge workrate. Makes busts and his tackling stings opponents. His passion has been key to Manly's turnaround. BEAVER (A) - Emergence of Choc and recruitment of BK has inspired Beaver to perform like he did back in 95-97. Heart and soul of the team. STEWART (A) - Huge improvement liek Choc. Speed makes him extremely dangerous in open play, and defence has improved significantly. Great try scoring ratio. DUNLEY (A-) - Extremely dangerous when he comes on. Dummy half runs make big yards. Very vaulable. MONAGHAN (B+) - Continued to improve, just as he did toward the end of '04. Inspirational captain. Still makes too many errors in attack, and his last tackle options need working on. WITT (B+) - Starting to show real improvement, especially in attack. His running at the line makes him dangerous. Still needs to create more options for outside backs. WILLO (B+) - Workrate outstanding. HECKS (B+) - Ditto. All heart. DONALD (B) - Dangerous when involved. STEPHENSON (B) - Solid, but doesn't offer much in attack. TEZZA (B) - Solid, but lack of speed starting to become obvious. HICKS (B) - Ditto. I'd like to see him in the centres to get more ball. KITE (B) - Solid start to the season, but his hit-ups still need more grunt. HARRIS (B) - Has come on of late, but still too inconsistent and gives away too many penalties. KING (C) - Not the damaging prop his size warrants him to be. Disappointing. Could be hiding injuries. RANDALL (C) - Disappointing. Not running from dummy half like he used to.

A user asked me questions I couldn't answer:
Why are there two text boxes in a callout? And why can't they be formatted differently in Font and size, etc?
Am I not grasping some amazing use of callouts here?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I would assume so that macro's or users can be instructed to automatically fill one, the other is free to be edited by the operator.
@bshand I believe it is so when you have the leader break line going completely under the callout text, callout2 text is under the line
07-13-2016 04:58 PM - edited 07-13-2016 05:01 PM
What @KennyG said...
From the Solid Edge help:
Callout text position
You can create multiline callouts using the Callout text and Callout text 2 boxes on the General page (Callout Properties dialog box) to specify content above and below the break line.
As for your second question, what formal drafting standard allows for mixing font styles and font sizes as part of a single dimensioning entity?
@uk_dave, I'm not sure a callout is strictly a dimension entity and must conform to some industry standard. Where is that specified?
If it is to be considered strictly a dimension entity then I guess all bets are off. But I know that not everyone uses it that way. Let's say you want to emulate view captions where the name, etc. above and the scale, etc. below are, or can be, two different sizes. Are notes dimension entities? Callouts are often used for various notes. If one needs to highlight a word or section is it unreasonable to be able to use one tool rather than switch to a text box or whatever workaround you choose? And callouts have the advantage of attachment. One can do a multi-line text box with different sizes, etc. but attaching it and having it move with say, a view, requires grouping.
Just asking for some flexibility, agility, here.
07-15-2016 01:18 PM - edited 07-15-2016 01:22 PM
Fully agree here. There have been countless times where I was needing to be able to do this and couldn't. Most of them involved text that I didn't use the leader for. I also wish it would allow us to do things like underline certain characters but not others. And since you can attach the leader to something and then hide it, it moves with whatever you have it attached to. Invaluable. You can also resize the entire note by clicking on the callout and changing the text scale, which I use frequently.
I need one help from you..!
Is it possible to import the PCD of the hole from 3D to 2D in Callout..?
We use Feature control in callout for Hole Size and Hole Depth.. But there is no option for PCD.. Pelase help..
Thanks in advance,

Pitch Circle Diameter
Must be working on gears, or maybe something that has a chain so is making teeth for the chain.
Edit: Apparently what is being referred to may be a Bolt Circle as well.
What can be done is use the bolt circle tool near the centerlines tool, then you can dimension the circle. But I'm not sure that there is a way to extract that info directly from the model, other than using property text to link to the variables.

Amazon's Echo Dot was a complete game-changer, giving people access to Alexa without having to spend $180 on an Echo. These days, however, the Echo Dot's $50 price tag is still high compared to some other options out there. A perfect example is the Eufy Genie, which costs less than $30 and yet still packs nearly all the same features as Amazon's Echo Dot. Definitely check one out if you're in the market for a low-cost Alexa speaker.

How to keep your store room organized and clutter free
The store room is the least looked after room in the entire house. Any object that you are not sure what to do with it; you simply go and throw it to land in the storeroom. It is thought to be a dumping place where anything and everything can be kept in any manner. It can be a place in your home which is no longer used. The best storeroom is a closet. It becomes easily available in case you need to clean a room. However there are few things to follow to keep a clutter free storehouse.
One can separate the things by newspapers, un-opened letters, or any books. Putting each type of item in different marked boxes has always been a stated advantage and proved to be a good habit. Take a broom and clean it at regular intervals. This will avoid germs and insects. Throw away those that are torn or cannot be used anytime any further in order to make space for better substitutes. Remember in times of distress or money problem or emergency things in the storeroom are useful so take at least the minimum precaution and effort to place things in such manner where you can get it when desired.
Glam it up with glass fireplace doors
The fireplace has now become an integral part of many homes. They give the home a attractive look as well as can be used during the winter. The fireplace can be designed in a very well manner with the design patterns available in the market. Out of all the designs, use of glass doors for your fireplace is the latest trend. The glass doors can be fitted to brick wall adjacent to the fireplace provided the foundation of the brick enough to hold the glass doors. Depending on your budget, you can use a lot of designer glass doors.
The glass can be carved with various designs. Even designer handles can be fitted on to the glass doors. But using glass doors is not the only idea. You should also maintain the glass doors properly or they may not look beautiful and attractive as before. Since the glass doors used in the fireplace are subjected to heat, hence there quality should be good enough so that they don't succumb to the heat.
Varieties of tile roofing for your vacation home
There are a lot of options in the market when it comes to the tile roofing of your house. One of the most popular choices is the cement tile roofing. Cement tiles are a bit heavy but they are a very good option has they are resistant to fire. They are very reliable. The cleaning process of these tiles is quite easy and there is no need to hire a professional for the job.
There is a wide range of options in colors and designs of these tiles and so, your roof can be safe and fashionable at the same time. Another good option for the tile roofing could be the slate tiles. They could be a bit heavy but they will have a distinctive look. The installation could be a bit tricky and so you have to hire a professional for the job. Another good option for the tile roofing would be the reinforced tiles.
Porch window treatments for your home
When you are planning to make your home look distinctive, you should never ignore the windows. In view of the fact they may have a clear outlook from the street, so, this porch décor has to be extremely appealing as well as striking.
Porch blinds are tougher to see through if they are created out of a rock solid structure. Wood, vinyl and bamboo can be the next best alternatives to these. The 2 main types of blinds for your covered entrance can be aluminum and canvas. However, the benefits of porch blinds can be seen in the following points:
Shades put in an element of atmosphere and seclusion to the porch. Porch blinds shields your family and belongings from the harmful rays of the sun. Porch blinds offer shades all through the scorching heat of summer that keeps your home cooler.
Blinds can alter your adjoining porch patio or deck into an elegant, party lasting outdoor area where you will simply like to spend more of your time. So, if you are planning to give your home a good look, make sure you don't miss out on these porch windows. Apart from saving you from the scorching sun it gives your home a classy look.
Add Personalized Bar Mats To Your Man's Den For Added Appeal
Personalized bar mats are a very common thing in a man's cave. A man's den may have a sports theme like football, baseball etc or a hobby theme golf, fishing etc. according to his own likes. So keeping it in mind make an ideal personalized custom bar mat.
What is meant is that make the bar mats based on the theme on which his den is made. For example use photos of that sports on which his room is made. If he likes fishing, put a photo of him catching a fish etc. Regardless of whatever you are going to personalize the mat with, you must never forget to include his name. This will make it all the more special. Custom bar mats can be personalized with any design, cars, messages or logos but try to apply something which is more close to his heart. Some matching personalized coasters will perfectly go with the bar mats. Whatever you do, first consider his personal taste as you are trying to make the gift special for him. But whatever it is make sure that it is unique than the rest of the ordinary ones.

.........................................-- Chute Doors Part II --
I need lots of tabs with holes in them to mount body parts and didn't want to measure them over and over again. I drilled a hole in the side of my chop saw and put a piece of "all thread" in the hole and held it with bolts on both sides of the hole (bottom arrow). Then I welded up a stop (top arrow) that can be moved along the all thread. It is off-set so that it can go onto the table of the cut off wheel for short pieces like I was going to cut. Here you see a piece of strap up against the stop and ready to be cut.
I cut about 20 short tabs and about 20 that were a little longer. I took groups of 6-7 of them at a time and drilled a 5/16 hole through a bunch at a time.
Here is a group that I finished drilling and hitting the ends with a grinder. The short ones weld to the frame and the long ones weld to the ends of square tubing for different length brackets.
The arrows point to a number of the tabs in use on the frame and the ends of square tubing. The framework show here....
............. and here is goes back to the chute doors and will be used to mount the upper part of the body to when it is made. The part sticking out in front of the cage hoop will be trimmed back later.
The arrow points to a cross-member that had to be bent to clear the exhaust. Note the loner tabs in use on the bottom ends of the square tubing and how they connect to the shorter ones welded to the frame. I wanted to be able to remove this bodywork frame and made it in come apart in different sections along it's length.
After mounting the sub frame I went back to work on the hinges for the chute doors. The top arrow points to a lever arm that works on the hinges through a short link (bottom arrow) and a longer link between the short one and one of the hinges. The second hinge just goes along for the ride. There will be another set of hinges opposite these and a second complete set at the bottom of the doors. The spring will pull on a bar that goes between the lever arm that works the top hinges and the one that operates the bottom hinges.
Here the lever arm has been pulled to the right and the hinges open the door.
Feeling fairly confident that this whole scheme has a chance of working I tried to lay the whole mess out as accurately as possible. The big square shaped piece under the hinges and arrows is a full size pattern traced directly off of the hinge area on the car. Next I had to design the hinge pieces to clear each other (top arrow) when closed and to also clear the adjacent set opposite these. That is the reason for the center line above the second arrow. Thumb tacks were used for the pivot points.
The arrows point to the position of the pivot points for the hinges on both sides. I took measurements for these points and .....
............. transferred them to a piece of 2 inch wide strap that will be attached to the framework. I'm drilling through 4 pieces here. Two for the top hinges and two for the bottom hinges. If possible the hinges will be sandwiched between two plates so that the hinge bolts are in double shear.
Next I took the new much more accurate hinge patterns and transferred their outlines to some 3/16 inch by 4 inch wide strap. I center punched the location for the bolt holes off of the patterns.
Then a piece of 3/8 inch particle board was cut slightly undersize to act as a guide while cutting these pieces out with the plasma cutter. You can see the location of the bolt holes in the paper pattern that I use to find the location of the holes in the actual hinges.
After cutting with the plasma cutter and a lot of finish grinding I ended up with the top hinges. The arrows point to pieces that will be welded to the square tubing that will make up the framework of the doors.
Here the doors are in the open position. At least the hinges are in the open position. The idea is the front end of the doors (to the left above) open first and then air can get in behind them and help to open the other ends along with the pull from the spring. When open the doors become parallel to the air stream and hopefully want to stay in that position. We will see. This whole idea could still go down a different road in the future if it proves not to work.

It seems to be a decided fact that Israel is determined to launch an attack on Iran. Being driven by paranoia and the collectively spread fear that Iran might attack Israel with nuclear weapons or even develop nuclear capabilities, Israel is keen to set an example against its main adversary and conduct a – what it calls – "30 days war".
According to information by Matan Vilnai, the Israeli Home Front and Civil Defence Minister, Israel is prepared for an armed confrontation as it has never been before. Despite the readiness, he admits that the Israeli casualties would exceed at least 500. The plans for a limited 30 days operation not only include the destruction of Iranian nuclear facilities, but especially war essential communication and transport infrastructures. The method for such attacks will be a combination of conventional and cyber warfare.
Harsh and exaggerated sabre-rattling again, or serious pre-war preparations and a final warning to Tehran? Even if a 30 days war was seriously considered, it would become obsolete after the first bullet shot. No war did actually follow 100 % according to plan – this is a simple fact of military reality, and no matter how well the Israeli army might be prepared for such a military operation, the consequences would get out of hand in a fraction of a minute. In fact, the 30 days war could last much longer – a simple and likely matter of modern warfare.
Western experts are seriously concerned about the outcome of a potential war between Israel and Iran. Although both countries are relatively isolated in political terms, the potential to drag more countries (neighbouring and greater powers) into the conflict is almost certain. The question however is, what consequences will occur in the case that Israel attacks Iran on a full scale.
As I have mentioned in an earlier blog post (http://ollys-blog.blogspot.de/2012/06/countdown-for-nuclear-war-arms-race-in.html ), Israel is anticipating Iran to have already crossed an imaginary border line to achieve own nuclear capabilities. With Israel as the only nuclear power in the Middle East, it won't accept another nuclear power in its immediate neighbourhood. Being nearly entirely surrounded by enemies, Israel will on the one hand be determined to maintain its nuclear monopoly in the region and fight any threat arising at the nuclear horizon. But on the other hand, Israel cannot be sure to gain any ally for this war. The potentially only ally for Israel – the USA – is reluctant to join Israel in a military adventure. With the US entering the main stage of presidential election campaigning, it is highly questionable if the US will be ready and willing to join Israel. Any war commitment or participation – directly indirectly – is a classic election killer, and none of the competitors – neither incumbent President Barack Obama, nor his Republican opponent Mitt Romney – would be thrilled by another military operation in the Middle East, especially not after the disaster in Iraq.
According to a German Middle East expert, Israel is anticipating that the US might assist Israel before the presidential elections, since it assumes that President Obama cannot ignore the powerful Israeli lobby in the US. But will the Obama administration take the risk of a military support for a few more votes? For Israel, this pre-election period is possibly the only occasion to gain the big brother USA for a war, after the elections it might be even harder, no matter if Obama will go into a second term, or if Romney succeeds. Also, Israel presumably elaborates the current moment as a best possible time for an attack. The reason for this is simple: Iran is stuck in an economic crisis, and Tehran's long-year partner in the Middle East Syria under Assad is crumbling and drowning in a civil war. As a result, Iran is more isolated in the Middle East region than ever before.
But no matter if Israel succeeds to gain the US as a comrade in arms or not, the Israeli leadership is blinded by its own paranoid behaviourism of desperate pre-emptive self-defence measures. The long-term consequences of a war against Iran will not be limited to the region alone, and we are not just talking about economic consequences. Despite the simple matter of exploding oil prices all over the world, and a destabilization of the Middle East region; a new potential crisis it will erupt into a global crisis with all major global powers being involved.
Israel will call for its American and European allies for support, while Iran is likely to be backed up by China and Russia. As a strategic target, the Strait of Hormuz will be the main goal number one for naval blockades. A blocked Strait of Hormuz will not only bring the maritime trade to a halt and lead to economic downturns all over the oil dependent world; it will also be the epicentre for a naval confrontation between the global naval powers. In short, a regional crisis would deteriorate into a global challenge of the existing global power USA against its old adversary Russia, and the emerging military power China: a highly dangerous and explosive constellation.
Despite the global consequences of a "30 days war", Israel would have no chance to win a war against Iran. A war against Iran is utter madness; a statement not only by Middle East experts, but also by any reasonable policy maker. In terms of tactical forces, the Iranian army is superior in numbers regarding man power and conventional arms, whereas the Israeli forces have strategic and technological superiority. However, the civilian casualties on the Israeli side will outnumber the estimated 500 military casualties by far. Even the Israeli population is reluctant towards a war against Iran, and Israeli international relations academics are aware of the global impact of an uprising conflict. Additionally, in terms of international law "Estoppel" provisions, Israel cannot force Iran to respect the international nuclear arms regime, if Israel does not respect it either. With Israel as the only nuclear power in the Middle East, the Israeli government uses its nuclear capabilities to blackmail its neighbourhood and also any potentially rising rival.
The question remains: will Israel take the risk to attack Iran, or not? Basically, Israel can only lose such a war – not only in military terms. And it will not just be Israel to lose this war, but the entire region, and the world as well. The economic costs would be disastrous, the global war potential is massive, and it would also lead to a vast credibility loss for the western community, if it commits itself to such an unpredictable and unreasonable military adventure. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Minister of Defence Ehud Barak are very well advised to take all consequences into consideration, if they are seriously willing to drag the Middle East into an unlimited crisis and a full scale war. The only way the western community could possibly convince Israel not to attack Iran would be through mere diplomatic action – by suspending all diplomatic relations with Israel and expelling all Israeli diplomats from their territories: a harsh measure in terms of international diplomacy, but probably not enough to prevent a war. From a German perspective, this would possibly not even happen, since Germany is keen to support Israel by all diplomatic means or through indirect military aid by arms sales (as proven by submarine sales in the past months).
An Israeli attack would be a breach of international law, and it is certain that the international community cannot tolerate such a violation. On the other hand, no one can be really cured from his own madness just by words or powerless action. In any way, the gates to Armageddon are about to be pushed wide open. Volker Perthes, director of the German foreign and security policy think tank SWP ("Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik") states that a war between Israel and Iran will have the potential to initiate World War III.
Evidently, the very moment when Israel really launches an attack on Iran, we can start the countdown to World War III.

Drove to Duke's Meadows and found plenty of parking. Cut out the boring road bit of the walk and also cut down on the time especially on the way back. Nice lunch of chick peas and spinach followed by melon balls. Got home and had shower then went to St Margaret's for Middx central committee meeting. Was a bit early so went to get a coffee at stall outside Westminster Abbey. Person was on the phone for a long time but I waited patiently and with good humour - and she gave me the coffee for free.

Appearance: grey black, cylindrical, tasteless, non-toxic.
Characteristics: Wood columnar activated carbon is made of high quality sawdust, coconut shell and so on. It is made from smashing, mixing, extrusion, molding, drying, carbonization and activation.
Because of the use of high quality sawdust and coconut shell as raw materials, the column like activated carbon is lower than the traditional coal - based carbon ash, less impurities, gas adsorption value, and CTC is the absolute advantage. The product has a reasonable pore size distribution to achieve maximum adsorption and desorption, thereby greatly improving the service life of the product (average 2-3 years), which is 1.4 times higher than that of ordinary coal charcoal.
Originality: Wood columnar activated carbon uses non adhesive molding activated carbon proprietary technology. Change the traditional way of using coal tar, starch and other traditional binders. Without binder, it depends entirely on the affinity between carbon molecules and the special properties of the raw materials themselves. Scientific formula is made to avoid carbon hole blockage and give full play to the adsorption function of rich carbon pores.
(1) gas phase adsorption
(2) organic solvent recovery (benzene gas toluene, xylene, acetone recovery in acetate fiber industry)
(3) impurities and harmful gas removal, waste gas recovery, oil refineries, gas stations, oil depots, excess gasoline recovery.
Product advantages:
1, the service life is 4-5 times higher than that of ordinary coal activated carbon.
2, high adsorption and desorption, thereby greatly improving the recovery rate of solvents.
3, high intensity and low ash, the pore size distribution is reasonable.
4, cost-effective, suitable for all organic gas recycling in this field.
5. High ignition point is safe to use.

See a less critical Submarine Matters article of January 15, 2018 on INS Arihant's accident.
Submarine Matters provides an expanding technical and political database concerning strategic weapons (including submarines) worldwide.
Chicom hit piece. I'm sure that author never had any criticism of all the failures the Han and Xia classes went through, both of which were largely considered failures even inside China from what I understand.
twitter: @squid_jigger
Hi Josh
Yes the Type 091 Han class SSN " is well known for having a noisy reactor and poor radiation shielding, which causes health hazards for her crew as nuclear radiation levels are higher than they should be aboard the submarine. The submarine is also inhibited by an inability to launch missiles while submerged. This creates a tactical disadvantage against opponents that have well-developed anti-submarine warfare systems.
Their design and weapons appear to be inadequate for confronting modern warships. It is believed that long refits have often meant that these submarines have spent more time in port than out at sea, greatly affecting their operational capacity." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_091_submarine#Criticism
Meanwhile the one known Type 092 Xia class test bed SSBN stayed "...pierside for so long there were rumors it had caught fire and sank in 1985" Meanwhile "A second [Xia] is thought to have been completed in 1982...It is suggested, though not confirmed, that this second Type 092 was lost in an accident in 1985." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_092_submarine
All facts or rumours China keeps quiet.

POSTED BY Nick Kapur ON 1:07 pm, June 21, 2007 - POSTED IN Diamond cuts, News reel
There is that great scene in Field of Dreams when Terrence Mann tells Ray why baseball matters:
The one constant through all the years, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, it's a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and could be again.
Well there are two glaring exceptions to this–two times in baseball's history when the game was not constant, when it wasn't the way it was supposed to be, when it reminded us of all that was bad, rather than all that was good. The first time was the Black Sox scandal, and the second time was the Steroid Era.
One of the tired, hackneyed old saws about putting guys like Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds in the Hall of Fame is that we lack perspective, and we wont be able to put their achievements in context until several years have gone by and we know more about the true impact of steroids on the game.
Well, some years have gone by already, and we are getting more and more context, and it's all pointing toward the same conclusion–namely, that steroids had a huge and ridiculous impact on the game for a few years, so much so that if you run statistical models on baseball performance over time, people like the good folks at Baseball Prospectus and elsewhere keep finding that performances in the years 1995-2002 were so far outside what is statistically possible under normal random chance that they can only conclude that a fundamentally different game was being played in those years. Different because of rampant use of steroids.
My opinion on putting these guys in the Hall of Fame used to be that we should punish them by not putting them in on the first ballot to show our displeasure, and then let them in a few years later to reflect their numbers.
But I've changed my mind. Let's keep these guys out forever.
The defenders of the steroid users have come up with all sorts of ridiculous defenses. "The pitchers used steroids too." So what? They're cheaters too – keep them all out. "You still have to hit the ball." Um, yeah, thanks a lot Captain Obvious. If Barry Bonds had used a metal bat whent the rest of the league was still using a wooden bats, he would "still have to hit the ball," but would that mean he had earned all of the 2,567 home runs he would have hit? "It wasn't illegal at the time." Well, first of all, it was illegal in that it was against actual laws to possess and use steroids without prescriptions, just not against basball rules. But seriously, can we really make an argument that using steroids was not cheating at the time? Everyone knew it was cheating, which was why there were all the denials and secrecy.
But the main argument of the steroid defenders is that there is no incontrovertable evidence that any of these guys used steroids. Of course, these people consistently overlook the testimony under sworn oath of guys like Bonds and Giambi in front of a Grand freakin' Jury, and the drug test actually failed by Rafael Palmeiro, but even when it comes to guys like Sammy Sosa, the circumstantial evidence is so overwhelming that we really have to keep them out of the Hall.
Look, this isn't a trial. We are not debating whether we are going to put these guys away for life or send them to the electric chair. There is no "standard of proof" in Hall-of-Fame voting wherein we have to hold these guys innocent until proven guilty "beyond a shadow of a doubt."
Getting into the Hall of Fame is not a right or an obigation that automatically accrues to any player who reaches a certain benchmark set of numbers. If that were the case, we wouldn't need to vote at all. Rather, the Hall of Fame is an honor–the highest honor it is possible to bestow in this game–and it should not be bestowed on anyone unless we are absolutely, 100 percent positive that they deserve it.
I would say, if these guys are willing to swear under oath in court that they didn't do steroids, then maybe we could let them in, but these guys couldn't even deny it before the Congressional hearing. The standard of proof needs to be reversed. Rather than needing to prove beyond all shadow of a doubt that these guys did do steroids before we can keep them out of the Hall, we need to prove beyond all doubt that these guys didn't do steroids before we let them in. But if there is any doubt, keep them out, especially since there is no way to get a guy out of the Hall once he is in, but there are many ways to put guys in later if we find out they deserve it.
Because I don't want to be taking my grandchildren to Cooperstown 50 years from now and telling them that yeah, these 400 guys earned their way in, but don't pay attention to those 15 guys because we found out later that they used steroids.
Because I want the Hall of Fame, at least, to be a place that reminds us of all that once was good, and could be again.

Are you ready to start your successful nonprofit? At Baylor Consulting, we have a variety of solutions to meet your needs. Click here to schedule a complimentary consultation! (Descriptions of each service can be found below).
Nonprofit Incorporation (by state)
The first step for any nonprofit is to incorporate itself in a particular state. When you hire Baylor Consulting, we will handle all of the paperwork involved in setting up your organization. This includes filing with the Secretary of State and your state's charities' commission (if applicable). Additionally, we will apply for your federal tax identification number and provide a checklist of filing and registration requirements that must be followed to keep your nonprofit in good standing.
Please note that the filing costs & mailing fees are not included.
Bylaws & Conflict of Interest Policy
The bylaws and conflict of interest policy are cornerstone document that every nonprofit must have. Bylaws provide a roadmap for your board of directors, ensuring that they stay within rules and regulations and run the nonprofit effectively and efficiently.
The conflict of interest policy protects the nonprofit should anyone close to the nonprofit attempt to place their personal interests ahead of the needs of the nonprofit. (For example, a director desiring to sell products directly to a nonprofit could be considered as creating a conflict of interest because he stands to gain a financial benefit based on his position within the organization). By hiring Baylor Consulting, we will protect your nonprofit from these risks by preparing a policy for your directors & key personnel to sign.
Logo Design, Business Card & Style Guide
Your logo is your nonprofit's mark; the way in which individuals can recognize your nonprofit and its mission. For this reason, it's important to have a compelling logo that attracts key stakeholders. When it comes to creative projects, collaboration is key. The more fluid our communications, the more powerfully we can achieve your goals.
To deliver this outcome, our process has 4 stages:
- 60-Minute Creative Session (see above)
- Logo Design
- 3 Rounds of Client Comments
- Finalization (including business card design & a document with recommended fonts and colors to keep your brand consistent throughout all communications).
Business Plan
The business plan is a foundational document that fully explains your nonprofit's mission, vision, goals, objectives, budget and more. Your business plan will have many uses, including:
- convincing individuals to join your board of directors
- directing important decisions that will determine the success of your nonprofit
- persuading major donors to fund you
When you engage at or with Baylor Consulting, you can rest assured that you will receive a well-written, clearly communicated business plan for key stakeholders.
IRS Nonprofit Application
The IRS rules are startlingly complex, with particular scrutiny given to tax exempt organizations. As a result, it is very common for nonprofits to delegate tax exempt applications to experts.
Having advised hundreds of clients on how to successfully acquire tax exempt status, we promise to provide a detailed review of your situation and complete your IRS application for nonprofit status. By engaging trusted experts with the application, you can greatly reduce the time for getting a successful response from the IRS.
Please note that the IRS application fee and mailing cost is not included, and ranges between $275 and $600.
60-Minute Creative Session (Logo & Business Card)
Before we put pen to paper (or more accurately, pixel to computer screen), we will take you through a detailed discovery process to get the creative juices flowing. This is a brainstorming session where we ask strategically targeted questions to fully understand the needs for your logo and business card. Once we are clear on the look and feel that you are going for, we will get to work on designing your logo, business card and style guide.
You as a client will benefit from this process, as it will help you think of ideas in a creatively structured way. You will be amazed by how quickly and effectively we capture your vision!
Strategic Planning (2 75-minute sessions)
In order to attain success as a nonprofit, it's important to apply business strategy and objectives. With Bea's expertise as a nonprofit specialist and Erica's expertise as a business strategist, you will develop realistic goals that you desire to achieve within the first 3-5 years. The session takes place via recorded videoconference and provides us the opportunity to deeply analyze your objectives to ensure that they are feasible.
During the session, we will not only discuss proven strategies to meet your goals, but also necessary action steps for you to take. Previous clients have reported that the strategic planning session provides a wealth of clarity and direction for their mission. (A recording of the session will be sent so that you will always have it to refer back to).

An ebook and workbook with powerful coaching questions to help you make a seamless transition from employee to entrepreneur.

After metal ingots, sheet stock, wire and tubular stock are fabricated into serve-ware by artisan or mass-production factories, a range of artisan or mass-production techniques can be applied to decorate or embellish the metal surfaces. Most of these techniques are probably familiar to you.
Engraving tools displace slivers of metal from the surface of serve-ware
to create designs, monograms, dates, endearments, awards , etc.
• Hand engraving demands skilled craftsmanship.
• Machine engraving has become standard because of a shortage of skilled engravers, but for me—machine engraving looks too perfect. Although engraving machines are guided by hand, they cannot replicate the fluidity and nuances of hand engraving —which has become very costly.
Designs that simulate engraving are commonly die-stamped on metal surfaces of waiters and trays to prevent inevitable scratches from showing.
Chasing resembles engraving— but does not displace metal.
Chased designs are made by hand-tapping sharp tools to 'indent' metal surfaces.The 'look' of chasing can be mass-produced by die-stamping.
Etched designs are hand-painted onto metal with acid— which bites into the metal —leaving a frosted design. Stencils are used for duplication.
Hand Hammering:
A round-nose ball-peen hammer is used to tap controlled indentations on metal surfaces. The look of hand-hammering can be mass-produced by die-stamping.
The design on this champagne bottle coaster is repouseé—a technique that creates a three-dimensional surface in metal. 'Relief' designs are pushed 'out' from the back of the metal —and refined by working on the front. Repouseé is mass-produced by die-stamping or casting.
Engine turning:
Engine turning is an engraving technique using a special machine. A skilled crafts-person guides a power-driven tool with one hand while guiding a second power-driven tool in a different direction with their other hand. The result is a fine-grained, repetitive (usually geometric) pattern on metal.
Filigree/ Piercing:
Filigree is an open, lacy design made by manipulating wire by hand or machine. The lacy design can remain open— or it can be soldered to a metal backing.
Piercing is also open and lacy. It differs from filigree because the designs are created by cutting-out shapes of metal from a flat sheet of metal.
Minute round granules of metal are applied to a flat surface of metal — as a design or all-over texture. Granulation is unique because both granules and base metal are heated together almost to their melting point— and pulled from the heat — as soon as the granules adhere to the flat surface —without solder.
Transparent, translucent or opaque glass is ground to a very fine powder, applied to metal and melted — without melting the base metal. After man learned to make glass, the art of enameling on metal flourished in many cultures.
Oxidation is a chemical 'tarnish' used to darken silver in order to exaggerate and enhance 'relief' designs. The darkened color remains in the lower recesses of the design and polished off all raised surfaces to create highlights.
Most metal products can be polished to varying degrees of luster —from a soft butler finish, achieved with special abrasives to look as if they have been polished for years 'by the butler' or to a bright, mirror-like finish—and many stages of luster in between.
The polishing and plating departments of every metal factory I visited were busy and so clean, they looked like four-star kitchens !

* Iberdrola sees 2010-2012 annual profit growth below 5 pct
* Centrica promises improved earnings growth in 2012
* Downstream business hurt by weak power demand for both
* Spain's Gamesa also cuts 2012 targets
* Iberdrola, Gamesa shares down; Centrica up
By Tracy Rucinski and Adveith Nair
MADRID/LONDON, Feb 23 (Reuters) - - Spain's Iberdrola and Britain's Centrica posted 2011 results marred by pressure on their downstream energy businesses, as consumer demand remained weak in both countries' fragile economies.
Spain's largest power utility cut 2012 targets after a disappointing set of full-year numbers showed its expansion into regulated markets and renewables had failed to offset distress in its liberalised distribution business.
Yet Centrica, which owns Britain's biggest household energy supplier, British Gas, said it expected to deliver improved growth this year, helped by higher profits from its upstream oil and gas business.
European utilities have been scrambling to shield themselves from declines in their traditional downstream business, which has had to reconcile falling demand as consumers' spending power is pinched by rising prices and unemployment and government budget cuts.
Some, like Iberdrola, have tried to tap into faster-growing emerging markets such as Brazil, with a firm eye on wind power expansion. Centrica, meanwhile, said it would focus on growing its upstream business through acquisition and organic development.
Iberdrola, plagued by a tough environment at home as the Spanish economy threatens to slip into recession for the second time in four years, posted a slight decline in 2011 net profit and was forced to cut growth forecasts for this year.
Though it is a world leader in wind power, its renewables business suffered weaker gross margins in Spain and the United States, and the outlook for its business remains uncertain as the Spanish government draws up plans to eliminate utilities' 24 billion euro tariff deficit.
The new centre-right government has already declared a moratorium on subsidising renewable energy.
By 1200 GMT its shares, which have fallen 3.6 percent this year, were down 3.15 percent at 4.519 euros.
Spanish peer Gamesa, which makes wind turbines and competes with Denmark's Vestas, cut its expectations for wind turbine sales in a measure it said was necessary to keep debt in check, sending its shares down 9 percent.
Its growth in emerging markets like China, India and Brazil has come at the expense of increasing debt more than investors are comfortable with.
The outlook for Centrica was more promising thanks to its plans to raise upstream UK gas and oil production by more than a quarter this year. Analysts said the upstream business would be key to delivering a company target to improve year-on-year earnings growth for 2012.
Shares in the company, which have dropped more than 10 percent in the past year, were up 1.2 percent at 297 pence at 1200 GMT.

Movement Monday: "Clusters" aka Squat Clean Thrusters.
💥. Main objective is to take bar from the floor, clean it to the shoulders then to execute a Thruster ending with the bar kicked out overhead. Simple enough right?
Well, when you try and string several together you have several options with what to do with the feet.
You can stay narrow, (hip width) or you can stay wide. I don't recommend either option but prefer moving of the feet from narrow to squat stance in the clean. Then to adjust the feet on one of several ways.
First, you can jump the feet back to hip width as you are exploding up with the load, next you can bring your feet in after you lockout the bar, next you can adjust your feet as the bar is coming down from overhead.
These are demonstrated on the forward angle of the video. What do you do with your feet?

High School Sustainability Challenges
in partnership with ISE present
was held on
Thursday, November 3, 2016
Lenfell Hall, Hennessy Hall (the Mansion), 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Over 60 high school students from Barack Obama Green Charter School and Morristown High School STEM Program once again rolled up their sleeves and teamed with Fairleigh Dickinson University college student facilitators to construct explanations, and design and discuss solutions to real world energy problems as part of the 2016 Sustainability Challenge.
Case studies involved the renewable energy initiatives at the Picatinny Arsenal (ARDEC) which is a premier military research center concentrating on munitions. The U.S. military is the biggest user of energy in the country. By 2025, ARDEC's plan is to have 75% of their energy coming from renewable sources.
The speakers at the just-concluded Conference were Shah Dabiri, Pam Sheehan and Stacey Yauch of ARDEC. The student teams were highly motivated and engaged as they listened to the speakers, engaged in group discussions, and presented their findings of ARDEC case studies.
Special thanks to our funders FirstEnergy and Picatinny Arsenal (ARDEC).
FALL 2015 Social Entrepreneurship Idea Challenge Student Conference presented by ISE and Rothman Institute of Entrepreneurship was held on October 22, 2015 in Lenfell Hall, Hennessy Hall (the Mansion). High school students from the Morris County School of Technology and Roxbury High School were challenged to outline business plans for social ventures in their communities.

Spring 2015 Student Conference on Renewable Energy
On April 16, 2015 at the ISE-sponsored SGAP 2015 Global Leadership and Sustainability Challenge for high school students at FDU's Metro campus, STEM high school students were immersed in a real world planning experience in which mixed-school teams designed a solar PV system for their schools 1) to increase its use of renewable energy and 2) reduce its energy costs. Randolph High School located in Randolph, New Jersey was highlighted as a model case story.
Spring 2014 Student Conferences on Renewable Energy
I. April 10, 2014 - Lenfell Hall, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Florham Campus; Barack Obama Green Charter School and Morristown STEM Academy
"Tap water is cleaner than bottled water "
"Wind energy is very cheap compared to others"
II. April 24, 2014 - Rutherford Room, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Metro Campus; Bergen County Academies and Rahway High School - AP
"Over 145 students from 4 different schools and within three counties (Morris, Union and Bergen) attended the April 10th and 24th events.
High school students liked the opportunity to collaborate with other high school students from different schools, as well as with Fairleigh Dickinson college student facilitators. All parties worked together to solve a real-world case challenge focused on the best renewable energy mix for a manufacturing facility. Students also liked the 3D copy machine demonstrations at one of the two events." - Michele Joseph, SGAP Executive Director

Pair Programming and Remote work do not mix well. @Evan Dudla and I result to JoinMe and share mouse control to pair up when one of us is remote (which is always).
This concept is a Collaborative Code Editor for small teams that want to take advantage of Pair Programming but need to pair up with someone that is not sitting next to them.
Git works great, but it's not real-time. Pair Programmers want to know:
- Which files your Co-coder has open,
- Where in the files are they working,
- Watch editing in real-time
No more asking to take the keyboard or verbally expressing "Dollar sign. Open paren, Closing curly bracket" - it's magic.
(PS: Syntax highlighting is left out to give emphasis to the greater concept - paring.)

You may have already seen my picture tutorial for this easy flower with lots of layers. I posted it several months ago and I placed it on the "Easy Flowers" tab located under my blog header.
Now I have made a video tutorial for it also.
Here is a link to the updated cut file and templates. (It is also called "basic daisy" file) If you have downloaded it before, you may want to replace the old file with this new one. I fixed a few things.
Hope you enjoy the video.

Five for Friday: The Watching/Watched Edition
The Good Place, is an all kinds of delightful comedy. It's smart and funny...something I'd happily recommend.
Do I really need to tell you anything about This Is Us? I love this show, there has not been an episode where I don't at least sniffle. Randal and Beth are just such an amazing couple, hands down my favourite of the Pearsons.
Jerall and I watched Thor: Ragnarok yesterday. It's an all kinds of fun watch. Really enjoyable, and more Guardians of the Galaxy than Guardians :p
So Stranger Things 2 took a bit to really get going, but when it did it was all kinds of good. I really enjoy how the characters all got to develop - Steve for best tv mom. And I'm in awe of just how talented the younger members of the cast are, especially the actor playing Will. I'm blown away by him.
I'm late to the wonder that is Jane the Virgin, but at least I can watch it without cliff hangers :p I'm currently on the 8th episode of season two. So no spoilers please. Team Michael all the way! It's funny, it's smart, it's utterly enjoyable and the first 2 seasons are on showmax :p
What are you watching? Seen anything great lately you're happy to recommend to others?

Now that Peter Philips is in control at Dior Beauty, we're beginning to see some lovely things. His Glowing Gardens collection for Spring 2016 is hitting so many of the right notes. The Dior Nude Air Glowing Gardens highlighters ($58 with a mini kabuki brush) have been their most popular items. I've ordered them so many times, only to have them become cancelled because they've gone out of stock. At this point, your best hope is to call your local counter or a Dior boutique to find them. Although the year is young, I suspect that these will become remembered as one of the better products of 2016. There are two, both highly reflective shimmering wonders. One is #1 Glowing Pink, the other is #2 Glowing Nude. After several cancelled orders, I finally nailed down both of them. Unfortunately, my Dior #1 Glowing Pink shipment has gone to California to enjoy some warm weather and won't be here until next week or so. Because these items are likely to go completely out of stock soon, I thought I'm post some preliminary pictures of #2 Glowing Nude so that you can decide whether these are worth pursuing.
These beautifully appointed glowing beauties are similar in formula to Chanel Mouche de Beaute and MAC Whisper of Gilt. Here are some comparison swatches.
I think the presentation and quality of these is well worth the price, particularly if you missed out on Chanel Mouche de Beaute (which has a touch of sparkle, but is otherwise similar). If you are looking for them, please do not wait too long. Given my experiences, they will be completely sold out before too long. Check here at Sephora to see a few left.

The print is so pretty but I think it's a little warm for me.
They are both really gorgeous in person but I chose the nude because the silvery pink tones of the other do not go so well with my skin. My counter only had 3 of the Nude and I got the last one and they hadn't even been put on display yet either but the SA pulled out the collection to catch my attention. Smart lady! 🙂
I got this and the pink one, mostly for the packaging alone, but also think it's a great product!
So exited to try out those beauties ? which one do you like the most?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Min's Monster
The long uneven line of brown-skinned Natives, dressed in bark vests and thinly twined cedar clothing waited patiently in the late afternoon sun. It was required learning for the young lads of the tribe who stood at their grandfathers' sides waiting for the demonstration to begin. A thousand years ago, these grandfathers were revered as holders of knowledge to be passed down through the centuries.
Long shadows of the men and their grandsons rippled crookedly upon the surface of the Quinnu river. The elders' features appeared scarred beyond recognition- each line in their faces denoting a hard won victory or some terrible defeat in their long harsh lives.
"Why are we here?" whispered Kawa, as he wriggled and tried unsuccessfully to withdraw his hand from his grandfather's large, rough one. He spoke in the native tongue, the only language he knew. It was before the coming of the White Man and all the changes that would follow in his wake. Sometimes a stray hunter or trapper down from Canada crossed their paths, but they were a rarity.
"Watch and you shall see," answered Old Kawa gruffly and tightened his grip on the youngster's wiry arm.
Young Kawa strained his neck as he sensed, rather than heard, a shuffling farther down the line formed atop the high bank overlooking the cold river below. He watched carefully as a figure stepped out of the formation and made his way down the muddy slope toward the sand bar at the edge of the water. He found himself holding his breath in anticipation of what was to come.
Riverwater filled the young man's footprints as soon as he left them. He began shedding his garments, one by one. First he carefully laid his headdress made of giant eagle's feathers upon a sun-bleached drift log. Slowly he undid the fasteners of his bark vest on which brightly colored beads had been sewn. He then stepped out of his finely woven cedar trousers and stood naked before his audience. He raised his arms in salute to his Gods. Kawa recognized him as Cheeka from his village.
Still afraid to breathe, afraid he might interrupt something momentous, Kawa now gripped his grandfather's hand fiercely. He thought his eyes might fall from their sockets as he stood spellbound.
The hushed crowd watched as the lad put one foot into the water. Another. When he was up to his hips in the river, he dove in so quickly it astounded the crowd of younger boys standing above him, but they held back their pleased gasps.
Kawa could not tear his eyes from the figure that swam dizzily in the water, first this way, then that. Up, down, back, forth. Soon the dark figure just below the surface resembled something else - not the boy who went into the river.
Kawa's chin thrust forward as he squinted his eyes, hoping to gain a clearer picture. What has happened? Where did Cheeka go? All he saw now was the swift movement of a sleek ebony seal where the boy swimmer had been! Where is Cheeka? He strained so hard against his grandfather's grip, he nearly slipped over the bank and the old man had to use both hands to restrain him.
He had no recourse, as well as the rest of the youngsters, but to observe the display before them. That satiny black seal performed well. It dove deep, returned to the surface and leapt high into the air where, Kawa swore, it winked at him! It did belly rolls under water, circles within circles, and tricks undreamed of before. Finally, it streaked down river toward its mouth until it could no longer be seen. When the young lads thought the show was over and prepared to leave the shoreline, the trim animal returned, lazily swimming in small circles toward the river's edge. There its head emerged. The fading sun glistened wetly upon its coat as the animal arose from the river, flinging droplets of water every which way.
Kawa used one hand to cover his mouth as the transformation took place. The beautiful black seal slowly evolved into the young man, Cheeka, again. His long legs appeared, then his arms and head. There was no remnant of the seal to be seen. The swimmer returned to his clothing on the parched log, dressed, and disappeared into the fog that was fast filling up the valley.
"Wha...?" Kawa began.
Grandfather silenced him with a gentle squeeze of his upper arms. The elder members of the tribe turned with their young charges in hand and walked away from the river's high banks.
Only Kawa and his grandfather remained. They slid down the muddy, clay-like, hill and Kawa could hardly contain himself as the old man gathered a few twigs and driftwood to build a fire. When it was burning low and steady he began.
"We, each and every one of us, contain an animal spirit. whether we are aware of it or not. Whether we make use of it or not, it is still there. The feat we have to undertake when it becomes known to us, is 'control'." He emphasized the word to make the point clear.
Kawa sat on his haunches as he watched Grandfather stir the ashes with a hollow willow stick. When a glowing ember appeared, he put it to his lips and inhaled. The smoke smelled sweet to the boy's nostrils. He waited. He knew there was no hurrying Grandfather.
"Some call it our 'Tomanous'. Some have other words for it. White men say it is their Guardian Angel. I do not care either way. I know it exists and my purpose is to inform you, my son. And warn you. Some men have been known to use their spirit guide for evil purposes, against their enemies, or to accomplish harmful deeds. This is not its purpose! Use it only for 'Good', and you will live a long, satisfying life."
Kawa noted that Grandfather's eyes gleamed like gold in the light from the fire. This moment will never to be forgotten. "Young Cheeka who you just saw in the demonstration is living proof of what I try to teach you. His grandfather taught him well. Now that the control over his animal spirit is complete, he is the youngest bishop in the church and a good leader to follow."
"I want to be like him," stated Kawa. As an afterthought, he asked in a hushed voice, "What if it is used for Evil, what happens then?"
"Then all the Evil Gods will visit their wrath down upon you! That is why I stress - do not let it control you! If you let the Innerbeast rule - you are lost!"
They sat warming their hands over the fire, flames flickering shadows over their faces, and thought of the future.

BERLIN — The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in Berlin with their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, on the second leg of a European trip that comes as Britain negotiates its exit from the European Union.
Prince William and his wife, Kate, held their children by the hand as they disembarked from their plane Wednesday at the German capital's Tegel airport.
The royal couple were due to have lunch with Chancellor Angela Merkel at the chancellery, as well as visiting the Brandenburg Gate — the city's signature landmark — and the nearby memorial to the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust.
William and Kate are also scheduled to visit Heidelberg and Hamburg during three days in Germany. They arrived after a visit to Poland.

A lawyer who recognized the value of billboards ran into a roadblock when he purchased five buildings for the purpose of advertising his law firm on billboards.
In an effort to reduce the number of billboards, New York City's permit requirements for outdoor advertising now only allow a billboard when the building is occupied by the business advertised on the billboard.
The problem arose because the Law Offices of John J. Ciafone, Esq. was advertised on the billboards but the buildings are owned by different corporate entities controlled by John J. Ciafone, Esq.
