Beer Law: The Final Word on Initiative 1100 & 1105
UPDATE: At the suggestion of some organizations, we have added some links to the resources section below.
This is the last of it – we promise.
Over a month ago, I decided to walk away from the topic described above in the title. The subject has become a sour discussion topic amongst beer aficionados, brewers and others who peddle the precious grog we love so dearly. So, we took a step back.
I received my ballot in my mailbox yesterday and revisited the debate for a moment. I realized that I still have yet to decide what is best for Washington state and its incredibly important brewing industry. I am back on the academic trail.
Rather than raise a flag for either side, I simply wanted to take a moment and remind you all of the following 5 things:
- Vote. Nothing is worse than avoiding the polls. You have a voice; let it be heard.
- Know. There are people in the broad spectrum of the brewing industry that support both sides of the Initiatives. There is some moderate solidarity amongst brewers that both Initiatives should go down, and there is some fairly strong solidarity amongst consumers that the Initiative(s) should pass.
- Read. There are a bounty of resources on the web that can help you see the potential impact of a passed Initiative v. the continued state of what we have today. Take the time to check them out. (See below for some links)
- Ask. Ask your brewer, ask your beer bar owner, and ask your bottle shop seller. These people are directly impacted by the Initiatives. While consumers have an interest in this potential legislation, business owners are the ones who are most invested. See how they feel. Don't worry it won't take many attempts to find people on both sides.
- Review. If you get through all these steps and you still cannot make up your mind – read the proposed law. Many of the commentators are focusing their attention on particular portions of the Initiatives. You can get a better look at the forest versus the trees, by giving them a read.
If you want a brief recap of the information we have provided over the past few months, you can follow this link to find a collection of articles on the topic. Furthermore, check out these resources:
- The Secretary of State's Voter Information on Initiatives 1100 & 1105
- Seattlest's Mostly Middle of the Road Perspective
- Yes to 1100 – The Support for 1100
- Liquor Reform – The Support for 1105
- Modernize Washington – More Support for 1100
- No to 1100/1105 – The Opposition to all things Initiative
- Protect Washington – More Opposition
- Protect Our Communities – More Opposition Focusing on Safety Issues
With only two weeks left until the vote, we are signing off from the subject. Good luck to all sides. As always, please leave any comments below.

Down with the three tier system.
Yes on 1100
NO on 1105

Alice in Wonderland is making a big impression on the hearts and minds of kids and adults all over the world. Tim Burton really did again with his interpretation of the very popular children's book that was written so many years ago. I know Dawn submitted a tutorial on Mad Hatter, but it was the Disney version. This is another tutorial that was made by Nico Di Mattia, and it's on "how to draw Mad Hatter"" the Johnny Depp version. He did a wonderful job with this drawing and painting, and I know you will all love watching the same video that inspired me to upload this lesson as well Johnny Depp is always a perfect choice for Tim Burton because he is a versatile actor that can basically play any role. Have fun drawing Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.

As Scotland braces itself for the impact of storm Abigail tonight, the University of Dundee has issued a stunning satellite photograph of Abigail as it approaches Scotland.
Warnings of wild weather have been issued as the storm hits earlier than expected today, with winds of 90 mph predicted, along with warnings of lightning – and a month's worth of rain in just 48 hours.
Transport is expected to be disrupted, and power suppliers have warned of electricity outages as the storm rages across the country. Flooding is likely as the high rainfall levels combine with tides likely to be even higher than they normally are at this time of year.
Abigail is the first storm to be named by the Met Office in a new initiative.

LATEST: Democrats ask Gov. Walker to drop gay marriage lawsuit
MADISON (AP) — Democrats in the Wisconsin state Senate are asking Gov. Scott Walker and fellow Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to drop defense of the state's gay marriage ban.
The 15 state senators sent the letter on Wednesday.
Van Hollen last week filed an appeal to a federal judge's ruling finding the state's ban to be unconstitutional. Walker is a named defendant in the lawsuit.
Democrats say in the letter that continued defense of the law in light of court rulings nationwide striking down gay marriage bans is a waste of taxpayer money.
Van Hollen's spokeswoman Dana Brueck says he is fulfilling his oath and doing his job. A spokeswoman for Walker did not immediately return a message.
Arguments in the appeal are scheduled for Aug. 13 in Chicago.

Trial by fire as newest Colorado Supreme Court justice takes the bench
Colorado's newest Supreme Court justice will hear his first oral arguments on the state's high court this week – and what a week it will be.
Justice Brian Boatright, appointed to the court by Gov. John Hickenlooper last month, was sworn in Nov. 21 in what was described as a brief, informal ceremony. His formal, public investiture is scheduled for Dec. 13 in the Old Supreme Court Chambers at the state Capitol, according to Jon Sarche, public information coordinator for the Colorado Judicial Department.
In a recent interview with KUNC's Bente Birkeland, Boatright called his new job "a dream come true."
Among the topics Boatright and the other justices will consider this week are whether district attorneys must personally approve wiretaps, several insurance-related issues, sealing of criminal records involving unlawful sexual behavior and a question regarding discovery/admissibility of case files and medical bills in civil lawsuits.
But the case likely to get the most attention will be the appeal by Douglas County and Republicans over congressional redistricting, which will be heard Thursday at 11:15 a.m. Adding to the intrigue is that Boatright is a Republican – the only "R" of the three finalists for the job – who was appointed by a Democrat, to replace a justice (Alex Martinez) who was appointed by a Democrat and generally considered to lean left.
Will it matter?

All reasonable people will have sincere and heartfelt sympathy for those families affected by the Howell/Stewart murders, and their aftermath.
But one must question the wisdom of Howell's daughter Ms Lauren Bradford in publicly raising her concerns about the TV series at this stage.
Surely it would have been better to have waited until after the series. To write an open piece in the Guardian expressing her disquiet after the first episode and having the matter raised in the House of Commons after the second one only serves to give the whole sordid case the oxygen of added publicity.
The producers of the series must be delighted at her intervention.

Paris Hilton told police a purse that allegedly contained cocaine wasn't hers and that she thought the substance inside was gum, according to a police report filed after the socialite and her boyfriend were busted in Las Vegas.
Hilton and nightclub mogul Cy Waits were arrested on the Las Vegas Strip after a motorcycle cop allegedly smelled pot coming from Waits' Cadillac Escalade.
"She told me the purse was not hers, that she had borrowed it from a friend," Las Vegas police Lt. Dennis Flynn wrote in Hilton's arrest report. "I asked Hilton whose cocaine it was, and she said she had not seen it but now thought it was gum."
U.S. & World
The 29-year-old celebrity socialite acknowledged owning money, credit cards and a broken tablet of the prescription asthma medication Albuterol that was also found in the purse late Friday in front of the Wynn Las Vegas resort. But Flynn said she denied owning a small plastic "bindle" containing 0.8 grams of cocaine that fell out of her purse when she reached for a tube of lip balm.
Hilton's lawyer, David Chesnoff, said Monday he's not commenting on the police report.
"As previously stated, the facts of the situation will be tested in a courtroom," Chesnoff said.
Hilton faces a felony drug possession charge that would get her probation if convicted.
Las Vegas Police Sgt. John Sheahan said, after getting pulled over, Hilton requested going into the Wynn resort for privacy. When she took out some lip balm, "a bindle of cocaine in a plastic bag came out of her purse," in front of a cop.
Waits was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor of driving under the influence. They were booked at the Clark County jail and were later released separately.
"This matter will be dealt with in the courts not in the media and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law," her lawyer David Chernoff said in a statement.
This isn't the first time that Hilton had a run-in with the law. Early this summer, the socialite was arrested in South Africa on allegations of drug possession, but the marijuana charges were later dismissed. Just prior to that, she was detained by police in Corsica for possessing a gram of marijuana in her purse; she was later released without charge.
In 2007, Hilton served jail time for violating probation after her DUI arrest. She was sentenced to 45 days for driving with a suspended license, but it was reduced for good behavior.

Our psychological services: lasting solutions based on science and decades of experience
Assessment and treatment services
You have many choices: traditional and innovative approaches.
Many people are helped by traditional forms of treatment like medication and counseling or psychotherapy. But way too many people continue to struggle and suffer with psychological disorders despite multiple attempts to get help. Many go from doctor to doctor. Take pill after pill. Some finally just give up, too discouraged to make another phone call, tell their tale again.
Fortunately, brain science has pointed the way to a promising new approach to therapy. Research has shown that our brains are capable of enormous change. It's called neuroplasticity. This finding is giving rise to new solutions that harness this capacity for change to treat many psychological disorders or conditions. At the NeuroDevelopment Center, we closely follow the research on these promising approaches. We recognize the need for scientific evidence, and carefully evaluate the research on new therapy methods. But we also realize that it takes decades to compile conclusive scientific proof. You may not want to wait until the research is conclusive. So we offer neurofeedback and Cogmed working memory training and even our Preschool ADHD LEAP program – research supported treatments that harness the brain's capacity for change through brain exercise and training.
We offer the tried and true as well. Our professionals have decades of experience with proven traditional psychological services like individual psychotherapy, family, and group therapy. At the Neurodevelopment Center, you have lots of choices. Join us. We can sit down together, understand your situation, and decide what approach is the right one for you.

The Beijing Ceremonies looked amazing from the inside, too
Janet Culp: The Opening Ceremonies were just as amazing as I had hoped they would be! As I write this you've probably just finished watching them, so you have an idea of what I'm talking about. I just hope the broadcast captured even half of the excitement of the event as I saw it!
Before the ceremonies, we went to the U.S. athlete staging area with the rest of our team. While there, we met the USA Basketball team and got a few photos with them. They are so nice and humble — I think they took pictures with anyone and everyone who asked. We also met the first lady, George H.W. Bush, and our current president. He was kind enough to let us take both a team shot and individual shots with him. In his address to us, he said he was so proud of us and so honored to be here, but really I think I was more honored to meet him. Mr. Bush seems like a really kind, gentle, even fatherly man in real life.
After photos we went to the gymnastics stadium with the rest of the athletes. I was disappointed that there was no ceremony live feed for us to watch, but I passed the time meeting other athletes. I was inspired by the Lopez brothers who sat right in front of me — all three brothers and their sister are in the Olympics for taekwondo, three as athletes and one as their coach. What an amazing story!
Walking into the stadium was indescribable. As soon as we entered the tunnel into the stadium the whole delegation started chanting USA-USA-USA … and it seemed to erupt as we entered the stadium of around 100,000 people. I'm not sure if you've ever heard that many people cheering, but the feeling is beyond words when they are cheering for you! By the time we made it all the way around the track, we were covered with sweat because our parade outfits were anything but breathable; but we were almost too excited to notice.
The culmination of the evening was the lighting of the torch which was probably one of my favorite torch lightings. A man rose into the air, and "ran" around the top layer of the bird's nest carrying the torch. Behind him, video of the world-wide torch relay played on the wall. Then he lit a track and the flame swirled its way up to the top of the Olympic torch. The stadium and what seemed like all of Beijing erupted in fireworks!
By the end of the ceremony, we were exhausted but thrilled all at the same time. It was even a little hard to fall asleep, despite the fact that I got into bed at about 1:30 a.m. This day will certainly stand in my memory as one of the most inspiring, most exciting, and most amazing days of my life!
Littleton native Janet Culp will compete in synchronized swimming for Team USA at the Beijing Olympics. She is reporting on her experience half a world away for The Denver Post.

This week as I slowly recover from the #HIMSSHaze that sets in after spending a week with 41,000 of your closest friends and 1300+ vendors, I'm taking a second to think about how the small physician practice fits into the future of healthcare IT that was presented at HIMSS 2016.
As the graphic at the bottom of this post shows, just over 40% of attendees at HIMSS are providers. Of course, provider is a pretty broad term and that has to also be paired with the other number on that chart that 30.5% of attendees are part of the C-Suite. Even scarier is that only 2.2% of HIMSS registrations identified themselves as clinicians.
Those who read this blog regularly likely remember that I already wrote about physicians and patients missing at HIMSS. These numbers seem to prove this out. It's unfortunate, because that means that the physician voice is largely going to be missing in many of the conversations that happen at a show like HIMSS.
With this in mind, it's not surprising that I think the future for the small practice is on shaky ground. Many of the solutions presented at HIMSS are going to be hard for a small practice to afford. At some point these health IT solutions will be so good that they'll become the standard of care. Once that happens, where does that leave the small practice provider who can't afford these high tech solutions?
Considering many small practices aren't joining in these conversations, I think it's going to leave many small practices up a creek without a paddle. No doubt there's a large portion of the physician population that are betting that retirement will come before this becomes a reality. Others probably think that the worst that could happen is that they'll have to work for a large organization.
Despite this rather negative outlook on the future of small practices, there is some hope. When you look at the work that Farzad Mostashari is doing at Aledade to make accountable care and valuable based reimbursement available to the small practices you can see a future where small practices can survive even in this changing reimbursement landscape.
I think there are two models that I see emerging to allow small practices to keep some autonomy and survive in this changing healthcare world. First, small practices have to join together with other small practices to be able to create a large enough entity to be able to share in the costs associated with this future technology and to be able to compete with much larger hospital systems. Second, we need organizations like Aledade that help small practices survive by spreading their resources across a diverse group of small practices.
There is strength in numbers. So, whether the small practices form together themselves or whether health IT vendors essentially create a network of small practices, either option requires small practices to combine their efforts in order to survive. It reminds me of this clip from the film Finding Nemo. Small practices need to start "Swimming Together!"
Here's a look at the registration numbers for HIMSS 2016:

On June 22, 1564, French explorer René de Laudonnière (ca. 1529-1574) landed in Florida. Days later he established the settlement of Fort Caroline. The fort was situated near the mouth of the St. Johns River, known to the French as the River May, north of present-day Jacksonville. The French had previously explored the region during the expedition headed by Jean Ribault (1520-1565) in 1562.
Upon learning of Spanish ships landing south of Fort Caroline, the French launched a military expedition on September 10, 1565. A hurricane battered the French ships before they reached the upstart Spanish settlement of St. Augustine. The survivors came ashore several dozen miles south of their intended target.
Throughout September and October 1565, Spaniards under the command of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés (1519-1574) attacked French survivors returning to Fort Caroline. The Spanish assaults occurred near an inlet 15 miles south of St. Augustine, later named Matanzas (massacre in Spanish). The Fort Caroline Massacre, as the attack has come to be known, halted French colonization of Florida and ushered in a period of Spanish control over the peninsula that lasted until 1763.

Father's day is
fast approaching. This year, don't make dad settle for another grilling apron.
Here are the five best kitchen gifts for Father's Day-- sure to delight even
the fussiest dads.
1. A Great
Grill If you're really
in the mood to splurge on dad this year, consider getting him a brand new
grill. Our favorites include the Weber Genesis ($849) or Kenmore 4-Burner
#16135 ($389). If your father loves cooking with charcoal, take a look at the
MasterForge with JetLight ($159 at Lowes).
2. Cookbooks
on his Favorite Subjects Weber's Smoke by
Jamie Purviance does a beautiful job of illustrating the art of cooking with
smoke, whether he uses a smoker or a traditional gas or charcoal grill. To help
dad butcher like a pro, give him The Art of Beef Cutting by Kari Underly, an excellent resource
for cutting meat.
3. Beautiful Cutting
Board Once your pop's
finished cooking all that meat, give him a place to cut it. The StandBy Board from Schmidt Brothers ($70 at West Elm) has magnets built in to hold his
favorite knife in place, eliminating the risk that it will fall off the board.
4. Snazzy
Barware Being a dad isn't all about meat and
grilling. Great barware will help him unwind in style. The Cheers 3 Piece
Martini Set from Mikasa ($39.99 at Macy's) will make him feel like James Bond,
even if it's only for the evening.
5. Terrific
Travel Mug After his
special day his over, he'll have to return to work on Monday. Perk up pop's
commute with a top-notch travel mug like the Thermos Sipp Vacuum Tumbler ($20)
or the Contigo Extreme Mug ($20). Both will resist leaking or spilling and will
keep his coffee hot all the way to work.
Looking for more great gifts, check out these Father's Day Gifts under $30.

Jeter's announcement prompts praise around baseball
Yankees captain's historic career draws awe from former, current Major Leaguers
If a Major Leaguer's career can be measured by the perception of his peers, then the guy wearing No. 2 in Yankees pinstripes the last couple of decades might be No. 1 in terms of universal respect, from team to team and generation to generation.
Derek Jeter's announcement that 2014 will mark his last season elicited responses of reverence for a player whose 13 All-Star Game appearances and five World Series rings tell only part of the tale of how this particular shortstop's influence goes such a long way.
Few around the game today can deliver perspective on Jeter's career better than Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, who was the face of the Yankees for years before a certain kid from Michigan arrived and began a road that is destined to end in Cooperstown.
"I remember seeing him the first day of his first Spring Training, [an 18]-year-old kid out of high school," said Mattingly, whose final season in 1995 also marked Jeter's debut in the Majors. "A skinny little kid, but probably the toughest guy I ever saw out on the field. That's not the outside view -- a good looking guy, always doing the right thing, clean-cut. But [he's] one tough customer on the field, competitive. Been winning since the day he got there, and that tells you a lot. He was the leader of that group."
Indeed, Jeter had the good fortune and great talent to be part of the Yankees' "Core Four" -- and a year from now, he'll join Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada in retirement. Jeter's arrival in the big leagues coincided with the Yanks' return to prominence, and he was at the heart of the team's three straight World Series wins from 1998-2000, the last time any team has repeated as champion.
Said Posada, in a statement: "I'm so proud of our friendship and I love him like a brother. Derek was a true champion and the greatest teammate I ever had."
But to many, Jeter transcends the success he and the Yankees have shared, simply because of the way he carried himself not only in the glare of the New York spotlight, but in other ways, such as representing his country in World Baseball Classic play or giving back to the community with his Turn 2 Foundation.
"In the 21-plus years in which I have served as Commissioner, Major League Baseball has had no finer ambassador than Derek Jeter," Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. "Since his championship rookie season of 1996, Derek has represented all the best of the National Pastime on and off the field. He is one of the most accomplished and memorable players of his -- or any -- era.
"Derek is the kind of person that generations have emulated proudly, and he remains an exemplary face of our sport. Major League Baseball looks forward to celebrating his remarkable career throughout the 2014 season."
MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark, who played alongside Jeter and against him in a 15-year career that began when Jeter's began, also hailed the Yankees' captain as an ambassador of the game, displaying "awe-inspiring levels of passion, determination and excellence" throughout his career.
"A champion on and off the field, Derek's impact cannot be understated," Clark said. "Not only does he make the game better, he makes lives better through his Turn 2 charitable foundation. Derek has set the standard that we should all strive to achieve."
Those like Clark who shared the field with Jeter over the years have known to expect only great things from Jeter, and it's clear many have come away believing Jeter did things the right way, a big deal in baseball.
Derek Jeter is my idol, and will always be the example that I strive to follow. It's been an honor to share a diamond with The Captain #2- Hanley Ramirez (@HanleyRamirez) February 12, 2014
"He's been unreal, classy, he's had a great career," said D-backs manager Kirk Gibson. "So many people have had the opportunity to look up to him. He's going to leave such a great legacy."
Said Rockies skipper Walt Weiss, himself a former shortstop: "The way he's handled being on a big stage in New York, how he's managed to stay away from negative headlines in that market for that long on that big a stage for me is as impressive as anything he's accomplished."
For crosstown star David Wright, seeing how Jeter went about his business was key to his own development, which includes the honor of becoming the Mets' captain as of last season.
"I was fortunate as a young player in this town to be able to watch how Derek Jeter conducted himself on and off the field," Wright said in a statement. "I had the privilege to call Derek a teammate during the World Baseball Classic and got to see firsthand how to lead by example. I've always been a big Derek Jeter fan for what he has done on the baseball field. I became an even bigger fan after getting to know Derek and learning there is more to this game than what goes on between the lines. Excluding the Subway Series, I wish him all the best in his final season."
Clearly, Jeter's influence on the game spans generations, as those who came before him and watched him emerge as a star know so well. Craig Biggio, who preceded Jeter as a member of the 3,000-hit club, is among those who view the Yankees' shortstop as one the greats of his or any other era.
"His legacy with the Yankees and in baseball is really second to none," said Biggio, who was two votes shy from election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2014. "He's got a long list of things to be proud of. I think the biggest thing is, the most important thing, is the respect he got from his teammates and the respect he got from other players."
Much like Mariano Rivera a year ago, Jeter can expect farewells from around the country with each final stop he makes along the way in 2014. Biggio went through the same thing in '07, so he knows what Jeter should expect out of his final year.
"I just think the biggest thing is to enjoy it, and I think it's such a classy move," Biggio said. "If you know what you're going to be doing, to be able to announce to the fans so they can get an opportunity to watch you play one more time, that's great."
It's a farewell tour that will give not only fans a chance to bid a great player goodbye, but also players.
"He's a very well-respected Major Leaguer and is one of those guys who plays very hard and plays for a very good team that has won a lot of championships," Royals pitcher Bruce Chen said. "Like Mariano [Rivera], he's announced he's going to retire before the season starts, and I'm expecting a big tour when he goes through every single stadium, too, because of all the things he has done for baseball."
The reaction on Twitter from players and former players echoed many of the sentiments shared as players began to arrive in Spring Training camps. From young players looking up to Jeter since childhood to veterans having seen him go about his business for years to former players knowing the influence he had on the game, the respect was flowing.
Might cry when Jeter plays his last game favorite player growing up...did it the right way- Christian Yelich (@ChristianYelich) February 12, 2014
With the end of Jeter's playing career in sight, it's natural to look back on where it all started, like Mattingly did.
D-backs general manager Kevin Towers, for instance, was a cross-checker for the Pirates when he went to see Jeter play in high school. But Jeter had an ankle injury and it was a rainy day, so the area scout warned Towers he might not see the kid at his best.
"This guy made four or five of the best plays I've ever seen, range plays up the middle, went like 4-for-5, pouring rain, sloppy track, and he's playing like it was the seventh game of the World Series," Towers said. "He made a body-control play, his signature throw up in the air. I remember going back to my hotel room, it was such an easy write. I still have my report: 'If this guy's there, we have to take him.' It was an easy call, and that was with a bad ankle."
And then there's the scout who signed him for the Yankees -- Dick Groch, now a Brewers special assistant. The Yanks snatched Jeter as the No. 6 overall pick in the 1992 First-Year Player Draft, and Groch saw that pick blossom into a legend.
"People tell me, 'You signed a good player,'" Groch said. "But no -- and I know I sound a little bit vain -- I signed a franchise. This is a marquee player, and there are very few. Babe Ruth was a marquee player. All the money that Babe Ruth made for the Yankees more than paid his salary. And now people say Derek Jeter is overpaid, but he was a marquee player and the amount of money he made for the New York Yankees in 20 years more than paid his debt. That's a special guy, and this is the way you want him to go out."
Mattingly, too, can appreciate the big picture of Jeter's career. It's one that began with an 18-year-old stepping on a Spring Training field for the first time, and it will end with Jeter turning 40 in his final season this year. The former first baseman remembers that "skinny little kid" picking up the nuances of the game with each passing day and each passing year.
Mattingly knew Jeter was on his way to great things, and now he is among many around the game wishing Jeter a fond farewell season.
"I'm excited for him," Mattingly said. "Derek deserves to go out on his own terms. He's been so good for so long. I'm glad he can do it the way he wants to do it."

The best clue to understanding this strange relationship is a different point of view. Several years back, a friend with a plane invited me on a flight over Sonora and Jamestown, and we flew right over the strange outcrop. I knew exactly what I was seeing because Table Mountain is a famous example of an inverted stream.
Nine or ten million years ago, the Sierra Nevada was a lower mountain range with a series of volcanic centers near the crest at Sonora Pass that would have resembled a region like Lassen Volcanic National Park. One lava flow was unusually long, some 60 miles, and as such had followed a stream canyon that had been occupied by the ancestral Stanislaus River. The lava displaced the river to something closer to its present pathway, and as the mountains rose and tilted to the west, erosion stripped away the softer rocks surrounding the lava flow. The old river bed became the flat summit of the Stanislaus Table Mountain; it had become an inverted stream.
|You just have to look at the problem from another angle.

JANET RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA REMINDING EVERYONE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE "GOT 'TIL IT'S GONE"November 1, 2011
Janet Jackson's number one hit "Got 'Til It's Gone" from the album Velvet Rope has been chosen as the song dedicated to the Gold Coast. Janet's NUMBER ONES: Up Close & Personal tour, is her largest-ever world tour. Janet will dedicate a selected number one song to each of her fan-suggested stops. The show will be taking place in Gold Coast, Australia at the Gold Coast Convention Center on November 2nd.
The tour, in which the superstar set out to perform a selection of songs from her impressive 35 number one hits, has recorded SRO engagements throughout Asia, North America and Europe and due to such enthusiasm from fans and critics the NUMBER ONES: Up Close & Personal Tour has been extended to expand past the original 35 cities.
Of her upcoming engagement in Gold Coast the Icon has said,
"Hey Gold Coast, Oh, how I'm wishin', thinkin', dreamin' 'bout you! I am looking forward to performing for all of my fans."
In addition to her rigorous tour schedule, Janet has headed record-setting fundraising events for HIV/AIDS research and treatment, including hosting recent balls in Cannes and Vienna, which topped all prior fundraising amounts of those events. Prior to her upcoming tour appearance in Canada, Janet entertained in France for a giant fund-raiser where she became the first female artist ever to perform at the Louvre in the extraordinary IM Pei glass pyramid, raising funds for that most famous of museums.
The Icon's current tour differs from her previous concert schedules of years past in that she will perform music exclusively from her chart topping CD NUMBER ONES. There is also a focus on venues that will allow Janet to be "up close and personal," in a much more intimate settings. In each selected city, Janet will offer something different to her performance so no show will be the same. This tour is Janet Jackson more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before.
Janet will also be selecting the first fan winner of the contest in voting for the each of the selected cities. The winner will be announced on www.JanetJackson.com and they will receive an autographed copy of NUMBER ONES and an autographed copy of her upcoming book "True You" (in stores now).
Her New York Times bestseller True You, published by Karen Hunter Publishing, an imprint of Gallery Books at Simon & Schuster is currently in stores and is continuing to climb the charts. Janet's first book reveals her unique, insider's perspective on dieting and exercise-from her past, present and her future. True You chronicles Janet's lifelong struggles with weight and self-esteem. The book is a self-help/esteem book where Janet uses anecdotes from her real life to illustrate the power of self-esteem and how she struggles and her continued growth as an artist and a woman.

Veterinarian Reviewed on June 17, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Psoriasis is a skin disease which affects the cycle of the skin. It makes the cells build fastly on the surface of the skin. They form thick silver scales that are itchy in nature and dry and red patches which give rise to lots of pain. This skin problem is a persistent and long lasting disorder. It mainly affects the scalp, face, lower back, elbows, knees, fingernails, toenails and soles of the feet. This distress may also occur in the inner parts of the mouth and genitals. The different types of psoriasis are described below:
Plaque psoriasis- In this form, raised red patches with silvery scales occur. Here, scales get formed due to the build-up of dead scales. It mainly arises on scalp, elbows and knees.
Guttate psoriasis– It gives rise to tiny red dots and lesions that have scaling. This one can occur after a bacterial or viral infection.
Inverse psoriasis- This form is detected by the presence of smooth red patches which arise without scaling. In this distress, the dieased part becomes irritated because of sweating and rubbing of the skin. It mainly occurs in the folds of the skin, like armpit, and on the breast or groin areas.
Pustular psoriasis- Pustular psoriasis occur when there arises blisters that are filled with pus.
Psoriatic arthritis– This type of psoriasis causes redness and swelling on the elbows, hands, knees, feet, hips and spine. It even gives rise to joint pain and stiffness.
Nail psoriasis– It affects the fingernails and toenails. Due to this illness, the nails may turn thick and yellow and may fall out eventually.
Some of the common causes of psoriasis are given below:
1. A change in the climate serves to the problem of psoriasis.
2. An excessive intake of alcohol consumption
3. Some infections like upper respiratory infections (for e.gcolds,tonsillitis, sinusitis and strep throat) can cause this skin disease.
4. Some skin disorders
5. Certain skin injury
6. Smoking cigarette
7. The attack of stress and anxiety
8. Exposure to sun
9. Taking certain medicines like beta-blockers and lithium
10. A weakened immune system
11. Alcoholism or alcohol abuse
12. Severe weahter changes like extreme hot or cold.
13. Drinking unhealthy beverages
14. Family history of psoriasis or genetics
15. Having a weakened immune system because of the problems of HIV and AIDs or taking steroid medications
Signs and Symptoms
Some of the main signs and symptoms of psoriasis are described below:-
1. There may occur red patches which are covered with silvery scales on the knees, scalp, elbows, hands, nails, feet and lower back.
2. Due to the formation of skin lesions, the skin may develop cracks and redness
3. Bleeding may occur on the affected parts of the skin.
4. Itching may disturb the diseased portions.
5. There may arise some nail abnormalities like yellowing of the fingernails and toenails, seperation at the end of the nails and the occurence of tiny pits on the nails.
6. Lots of joint pain and aches may arise
7. At times, burning and discharge from the eyes may arise and some lesions get formed on the genitalia.
Treatment Options
The treament option depends on the form of psoriasis, age, sex, the severity of this disease and the lifesytle of a person. Based on this, there are mainly three types of treatments- topical therapy (here medications are applied to the skin), phototherapy (its also called light therapy) and systemic therapy (here medications are given as a pill or injection). However, learn some fine holistic treatments to control this illness.
Holistic Treatments
Some lifestyle changes help to treat the problem of psoriasis. Here is their description:
Take bath daily- Taking bath daily helps you remove scales and soothe down an inflamed skin. You can add bath oil, colloidal oatmeal, Epsom salts or Dead Sea salts to the water and soak your body in it for about 15 minutes. Do not use hot water and harsh chemical soaps as they can aggravate this illness. Use only lukewarm water and mild soaps.
Use moisturizer- Apply a good moisturier after taking bath. It will soothe down the burning sensation from the affected parts of the skin.
Cover the diseased parts- Cover the diseased areas while going out in the sun as it will protect your skin from getting burned and becoming more distressed.
Avoid alcohol and smoking- The consumption of alcohol and smoking cigarette interferes with the proper working of the medications used to heal psoriasis. So, avoid such habits.
Eat a healthy diet- Eat only a healthy diet. It includes fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
- Talk to a good medical expert if you are suffering from a severe form of this skin disorder.

Repeat... The End Is Near Lyrics
Lyrics – Cody, Music - Vail
I rise from what was slumber, To a world much worse to fear
The digital ash is blasting back at me
My gun still waits impatient, with two shells to my name,
An army is forming, the neighbors conforming.
To spill blood in God's name, to devise a strategy,
To make medicated slaves in love with their own ways.
And this will bring us doom, you've known this as a truth
it hurts but your too drunk to see these signals.
Repeat, the end is never near, It's just at its morning silence.
Repent and I beg to those who never answer me...
Speak... Speak...
Solo: Vail
Solo: Funderburk
Solo: Vail/Funderburk
The sober silence of being the last of our kind,
An insect smashed, the footprint of our time.
Of. Our. Time.
The sky's imploding, my heart it rushes beauty.
When it rains down the damned in ashes,
And we are the damned, who wait to die from boredom.
Bring on the fate of your dreams.
Bring on the fate that shivers in its sleep.
Feel the earth, its bloods been shed.
It's the oil that heaven sent to bring the end?
Our homes all crumble, our damns will burst with quickening speeds.
I feel enlightened by my lack of responsibility,
Repeat, the end is never near.
It's just at its morning silence.
Repent and I beg to those who never answer me...
Speak... Speak...
When the last, Sun has set on all our guilty heads,
We'll burn for more than,
More than drugging our youth, and giving tithes to
A frightening business with devils intentions.

Jenny EriksonFlorida is the latest in a line of states (including South Dakota) that has recently passed bills that would allow pregnant women considering an abortion to make an informed decision. The Florida bills, passed last week by a large majority in the State House of Representatives, include measures that would require mothers to undergo an ultrasound before an abortion, and also outlaw the termination of viable babies in the third trimester.
One freshman representative, Daphne Campbell, was chewed out as a traitor and had her job threatened by follow house member Scott Randolph over her support of the bill. Both politicians are Democrats.
"I was the victim of an altercation by my fellow state representative, Scott Randolph," said Campbell on Monday. "Several items were thrown in my face, foul language was used against me, and I was insulted and ridiculed in front of all my colleagues. I was called a 'traitor' and was told that I was going to be kicked out of office next year."
Apparently a person can't be both a Democrat and a supporter of informed choice or fetal rights in the Sunshine State. Since when did people have to believe in everything on a party platform in order to belong to it? There are only two major parties in our political system; it's a rare person that will support every single position upheld on their side of the aisle.
It's probably also the same person that lacks conviction and the ability to think for themselves.
It is unfair to ask a woman to set aside her ideology simply because her label of 'black female democrat' dictates that she should believe a certain way. There was a time in our country when women and people of color were expected to act/think/feel/live a certain way because they were non-male or non-white.
Scott Randolph and his defenders should think long and hard about forcing someone to behave like a black woman, or Democratic politician, because that's what's expected out of her. A woman is not a traitor to her gender, ethnicity, or political affiliation simply because she goes against the flow at times.
She's a unique and individual person, and her positions are worthy of respect. If the Tea Party can support Scott Brown, liberals should be able to support Daphne Campbell.

Solvay: Building a cloud-based logistics process with Google Cloud Platform
About Solvay
Created in 1863, Solvay is an advanced materials and specialty chemicals company, devoted to developing chemistry to address key societal challenges.
About Revevol
Since 2007, Revevol has brought companies agile, efficient, and secure cloud platforms to help them achieve true digital transformation.
Solvay is overhauling its global logistics operations with a cloud-based platform based on BigQuery and Cloud SQL.
Google Cloud Results
- Makes logistics controls more efficient and consistent with a streamlined, digitized platform
- Allows for real-time information sharing within the industrial platform and across different sites with a robust API with over 200 endpoints
- Saves money and DevOps resources with managed services by Google
Reduces basic checks from 15 minutes to less than one
Founded in 1863 as a family business, Belgium-based Solvay is now an advanced materials and specialty chemicals group with 124 sites responsible for manufacturing and delivering products, and providing solutions across 61 countries. In 2015, following an internal restructure of its logistics site solutions, the company began looking for ways to bring its procedures up to date and improve information sharing within its logistics operations. To do that, Solvay turned to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
"We wanted to digitize our logistics process with a new platform that needed high availability and the ability to scale up," says Jean-Baptiste Cercueil, Head of Logistics Processes at Solvay. "Once we decided this should be a cloud-based venture, Google was the obvious solution."
Driving efficiency, improving collaboration with GCP
Industrial chemical companies like Solvay are heavily regulated, with safety and security of paramount importance. Evolutions in regulations are clarifying and increasing the share of responsibility that shippers like Solvay would bear during transportation. In response, Solvay's internal business services unit looked at the existing logistics process to see how it could be digitized and made more efficient. "We saw it as an opportunity to overhaul and innovate the process," says Jean-Baptiste. Solvay searched the market for an off-the-shelf solution, but could not find one that met its unique, complex needs. So the company built SELFY: the Solution to improve the Efficiency of Logistics Flows on Yard.
Using mobile devices and cloud technology, SELFY has two main objectives, says Jean-Baptiste. The first is to give Solvay more control over the mandatory regulatory checks it has to carry out. Solvay wanted a platform that could help both the risk assessment experts who design them as well as the operators who physically carry them out on production sites all over the world. The second objective of SELFY was to increase collaboration across the company. Prior to SELFY, different sites could not share data about basic checks they had done, so trucks moving from one site to another would often be held up over unnecessary checks that had already been carried out. A more secure, online way of sharing data between sites would minimize fuss and help improve the flow of goods without compromising on security and regulatory standards.
"It's so easy to set up Cloud Functions to get some data, process it with Cloud Dataflow, and then import it into BigQuery. With Google Cloud Platform, everything is very nicely integrated."—Alexandre Mathe, Technical Project Manager, Solvay
For SELFY to work, the company needed an online database that could be accessed by multiple types of devices throughout the globe, with minimal downtime. By 2016, it was clear that hosting servers on-premises would not work. "We could have built an on-premises solution, but there would have been so much redundancy," says Alexandre Mathe, Technical Project Manager at Solvay. "We would have had to build everything from scratch, from logging in, to monitoring tools, to managing APIs. Besides, with a single data center to serve the whole world, there'd be differences in performance and what happens if it crashes?" It was clear that a cloud-based infrastructure was the ideal solution for SELFY.
Seamless integration, minimal fuss
Solvay had been using G Suite as its office productivity and email platform for over five years, so when it came time to look for a new infrastructure, GCP was a "globally consistent solution", according to Alexandre. The company used Google Cloud Partner Revevol to switch to G Suite, so they were the obvious choice to help plan and execute the migration to GCP. According to Jean-Baptiste, Revevol's prior knowledge of Solvay and the needs of SELFY were crucial. "They really took the time to understand the functionalities we were looking for. That was the key to the design of the whole solution," he says.
SELFY had to handle complex data processes at scale and remain easy to use, so Cloud SQL proved ideal as a high-performance database solution with a language familiar to Solvay's team of developers. Similarly, BigQuery and Cloud Dataflow enabled Solvay to import and process data quickly and easily. The company used Cloud Endpoints to manage the SELFY API, which needed to be robust enough to handle multiple versions from over 200 endpoints. The core of SELFY was built with App Engine, with Stackdriver monitoring operations. Cloud Storage was used for storing media files, documents, and other static assets in a highly secure environment. Meanwhile, Cloud Functions proved vital for simplifying and streamlining SELFY and its key tasks.
"It's so easy to set up Cloud Functions to get some data, process it with Cloud Dataflow, and then import it into BigQuery," says Alexandre. "With Google Cloud Platform, everything is very nicely integrated."
A cutting-edge solution, built for scalability
By mid-2018, Solvay deployed SELFY on two sites before expanding to the rest of the company. Even at this stage, the platform has made an impact. Solvay and its truck drivers have benefitted from more efficient controls, which has ultimately lead to improved logistics flow. Thanks to SELFY, employees can maintain the company's rate of approximately 100 operations per day on a site but with fewer workers specifically assigned to regulatory controls. This frees resources up for other key areas of the business.
"With a cloud solution, we were expecting to improve our information-sharing and collaboration. With GCP, we have also improved the consistency of our logistics controls and now we are looking at ways to reorganize our procedures and make them even more efficient."—Jean-Baptiste Cercueil, Head of Logistics Processes, Solvay
The ability to share information quickly between sites has helped enormously. When truck drivers made multiple visits to sites in a short period of time, it was common to unnecessarily repeat some basic checks. Now that those tests are online and available to see, checks for return drivers have been reduced from 15 minutes to less than a minute. Thanks to the performance, scalability, and ease of use of GCP, Solvay has managed to drive efficiency in its logistics process and stay up to date with a changing regulatory environment.
From an IT perspective, Solvay has been able to avoid sinking costs into a hosted solution and maintenance teams by using managed services by Google. GCP has helped Solvay take a more agile approach to development, quickly applying updates and fixes without disrupting the main operation. "After we first went live, we've deployed maybe another 12 versions, without any downtime," says Alexandre. "This flexibility has really helped us."
"With a cloud solution, we were expecting to improve our information-sharing and collaboration," says Jean-Baptiste. "With GCP, we have also improved the consistency of our logistics controls and now we are looking at ways to reorganize our procedures and make them even more efficient."
As well as rolling out SELFY to its other sites across Europe and eventually the world, Solvay is currently testing a mobile app, developed with GCP, providing even more flexibility to its workers while maintaining high standards. "A mobile app means that we don't always need to have an operator waiting at the gate for a truck," says Jean-Baptiste. "They can be working elsewhere on the site, get a notification on their phone, and then come to unload it." The success of SELFY has led Solvay to look at other areas within the business where Google tools can help, not just now, but in the future.
"Our work with SELFY means that we can now externalize our knowledge and build other architectures for different areas within the business," says Alexandre. "If you're building applications in a controlled environment, GCP is a great landscape to play in."

Prep, Removal & After Care
Preparing natural nails is essential to keep acrylic nails looking attractive, and preventing them from lifting.
Lifting can be easily seen when the overlay comes apart from the nail plate. It might often look a little cloudy around the edges, suggesting that the bond between the acrylic nail and the natural nail has some problems. If you have used coloured nail varnish on top of the acrylic nail, it's clear to see when lifting is happening as there might be some colour bleed beneath the overlay.
While there can be lots of reasons for acrylic nails to lift, the most common culprit is dirt and poor hygiene. To keep acrylic nails in their best condition, it's important to keep them clean, and prevent mold and bacteria from growing inside nails. Maintaining proper salon hygiene will make sure that all your clients get to enjoy beautiful nails, without any damage or problems.
You'll find all you need to help you prepare for acrylic nails, from nail tip dehydrators and primers to acetone and non acetone removers and conditioning brush cleaners.

Lucio bemoans Inter errors since 2010 triumph
Former Inter defender Lucio believes the club made several mistakes in their bid to revitalise 2010's UEFA Champions League-winning side.
Inter enjoyed a dominant period of success from 2006 to 2010, winning five successive Serie A titles, and culminating in an historic treble-winning season under Jose Mourinho.
They also won the Coppa Italia twice in that period, claimed the Supercoppa Italiana on three occasions and also triumphed in FIFA's Club World Cup.
The club have struggled in recent years though, finishing ninth in Serie A last term, and although new manager Walter Mazzarri has lifted them to fourth, the Brazilian - who now plays for Sao Paulo - feels they are still paying for the mistakes of their past.
"A radical revolution is always complicated," Lucio told fcinternews.it.
"You have to be wise and know where to go, and Inter did not do things right. They sold Maicon, Julio Cesar, (Samuel) Eto'o and me, all the protagonists of a winning cycle, which went ahead again in 2011 and won the Coppa Italia.
"To suddenly get rid of people who had a positive influence on the club and bring in new ones has been controversial. A winning team isn't built over one day and night.
"The climb is hard. Most of the big European clubs are based on a core of players. For me, the great revolutions don't work. You can't turn wine into water.
"It'll take a long time for Inter to find the right combination and get back to being a great team."

While the last couple months have been pretty dry where I live here in the Northeastern part of the U.S., in the Southeastern part several severe hurricanes have already hit and it looks like more are coming. While every severe storm can have serious consequences, often the major difference between a severe storm and an outright disaster is the level of preparation.
Of course weather is just one of many potential causes of disasters. We have all seen floods, fires, earthquakes, and other disasters around the world that have been made much worse through inadequate planning and poor execution. Simulation can play a major role in preparing communities to avoid or at least reduce the impact of such disasters.
More accurate weather prediction is due in part to simulation. Combining advanced detection technology with sophisticated simulations has allowed us to become much better at predicting storm paths and severity. This allows for improved warnings and appropriate responses.
Simulation use in evacuation planning has a very high potential, but is not used as much as it could be. Communities should be able to examine various scenarios and evaluate the best ways to move people to safety, well before a dangerous situation actually occurs.
First-responder rescue efforts can also be pre-planned and evaluated. Where should various types of equipment be stored? How can it be moved? Who will staff it? What procedures should be used for various types of disasters?
As for relief scenarios, they too could be planned ahead of time with the assistance of simulation. What equipment and supplies should be stockpiled and where? How can it be quickly relocated? Who will staff it? The logistics of a large scale disaster-relief effort, including health care provisions, security at all levels, and even communications, (all of which often involve multi-organization coordination) is a great opportunity to showcase the true benefits of using simulation.
Large corporations and other organizations can also do their own simulation-based planning. Contingency plans for various scenarios can minimize the impact of a local or regional event and help ensure that a single event does not cripple the entire organization.
Louisiana State University has a relatively new center for disaster management and has organized a conference November 16-18 dealing with some of these issues.
"Be Prepared" is a motto that anyone planning for a disaster should live by; Simulation helps make that a bit easier.

by Linda from The Witches Kitchen
This post is full of contradictions.
I've spent my Easter Saturday holiday getting very scratched and itchy, bitten by ticks and leeches, tired and sore, clearing lantana just so we could get to the worse weed - Madeira vine (Anredera cordifolia).
I had a wonderful morning doing it in a group with friends, really satisfying to see the difference we made in one session (with another one tomorrow).
I wish I didn't have to do it.
One of the best and most satisfying things I have done in my life was a four year riparian restoration project, where we planted a forest. For years I spent most Saturday and some Tuesdays clearing lantana, moth vine, crofton weed and cockspur by hand from several kilometres of creek bank, replanting with sandpaper figs and Brown pine, Quandongs and Bunyas, Celery wood and native Quince, food for parrots and possums and gliders and bush turkeys.
I wish they'd all go and live there and leave my garden alone!
After only a decade, it is a forest. The creek flows through it in dappled shade, its banks held by roots, its water clear and drinkable, a breeding ground for fish and turtles and yabbies. We have even seen a platypus there. If it was still degraded, maybe I'd be too busy to deal with Madeira vine right now. If it was a smaller area, maybe we would have noticed the Madeira vine sooner.
Madeira vine is a native of South America, introduced as an ornamental and now a serious environmental weed. Now I'm not a knee jerk weeder. Many weeds are opportunistic plants that occupy a vacant niche caused by disturbance, and disappear as they encounter competition from more permanent species. Often they are the symptom, not the cause of a degraded ecosystem. But there are some, and Madeira is amongst them, that don't play nice. Madeira will smother rainforest trees. It will take over whole areas in just a few years. It will spread downstream carried by the water to take over new areas.
And it is impossible to eradicate by hand once it has got a go on. Every time you disturb the vine, it drops trillions of little bulbils, each of which will take root. When you try to pull it up, it breaks leaving the roots to regrow and the vine impossible to disentangle from the host tree, dropping its trillions of little bulbils. It will resprout from a leaf dropped on the ground. And the bulbils will survive up to five years.
So I spent my Easter Saturday clearing lantana, just so we could get at the Madeira vine amongst it. Had a lovely day. Discovered the scale of the infestation is horrible. Believe that generally, when you use poisons, you only make the problem worse. Wonder how on earth Madeira can be controlled otherwise.
It isn't simple, this simple, green, frugal life.

Sharilyn of lovelydesign
Today, graphic designer and mama Sharilyn Wright of lovelydesign gives us a little home tour.
Yep, it's Show & Tell Home Tour time again — and for Sharilyn's tour, we're off to Burnaby, Canada.
Come on inside...
I was introduced to the world of Sharilyn Wright when she submitted an adorable mom and baby snapshot to a photo contest we were having over on mamazine.com. The image did not win, but its truth and sweetness is burned in my mind. Soon after, I spotted Sharilyn's amazing former design studio on Apartment Therapy. Then I wiped the drool from my bottom lip and continued on with following Sharilyn's blog lovelydesign and her work as it popped up around the interwebs. In her home, Sharilyn takes soft colors, art, pretty things, and good clean design choices and turns them all into darn good home. Her extraordinary collections and several unique pieces of furniture stand out wisely against lots of practical well-placed storage basics. As a result, her home is a soft and airy, beautiful and homey nest for family living. Let me show you.
Sharilyn, tell us a little about your family and your home.
I live with my partner Charles, our daughter Adelaide (who is two years old), and our two kitties Jack and Elliot. We live in an 1,100-square-foot townhome in Burnaby, which is about 25 minutes from downtown Vancouver, Canada. Our home is about four years old, and we have lived here for almost two years now.
Family photos and pretty things
How do you approach decorating in your home? What's the most important thing?
We've chosen to fill our home with things we love and try our best to keep it tidy and organised.
You have a young daughter. How do her opinions, tastes, and STUFF influence the look and feel of your home?
To me, our home is our safe place to be comfortable and ourselves. Our home is as much Adelaide's as it is ours. I don't have any qualms about her toys, dolls, or books being in every room — in fact, some of her toys I love so much that I want them to be around! But mostly, I want my daughter to know that this is her home and her special place to feel cozy and be herself, too.
So far, I have avoided any overwhelming "kid clutter" by purchasing a few well-chosen high-quality toys for Adelaide rather than a lot of crap. We never take her to large mainstream toy retailers — the temptation to just buy her a little something would be to great, and it really bothers me to purchase items that I know I won't be keeping forever or at least hand on down later on.

Another peek at Sharilyn's studio space
Bright dining space for family meals
In your home, what is one indulgence you give into?
We are all suckers for books. And art supplies — Adelaide never suffers for crayons, paints, or paper! I also try to buy the best quality food that we can, be it organic, local, and fresh. When we go shop for food, I always tell Adelaide that she can pick out any fruit or vegetable that she wants — this sometimes makes for interesting choices, but she always eats them!
Adelaide's work space alongside mom's
The family bookshelves (hi, Adelaide!)
What are your favorite stores to shop for home?
I absolutely adore thrift, vintage, and antique shops. I often find specific items on eBay as well. I don't really ever visit (first-run) home or furniture shops, but IKEA often cannot be beat, especially for home accessories and storage solutions. I also adore a chain of stores we have here in Canada called The Real Canadian Superstore — they almost always have fantastic household items, children's clothing, and accessories.
What Home & Garden blogs or websites inspire you the most?
I adore Flickr very much. I have found the most beautiful images (and friends) on Flickr, and often if I feel sad or blue, I will go and visit my personal Flickr favourites group. Flickr is the best!
Your place is so bright and pretty, Sharilyn. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Sharilyn Wright is a graphic designer who began her own design company in 2000 and her own stationary and product lines, which bring recycled and repurposed materials to higher design, in 2001. You may find more about Sharilyn on her blog lovelydesign and her products in the lovelydesign mail order shop.

In general, fan service refers to scenes designed to excite or titillate the viewer. This can include scantily-clad outfits, cleavage shots, panty shots, nude scenes (shower scenes especially), etc. Some broader definitions also include things like cool mecha, big explosions, battle scenes, etc. Basically, if it has little plot-redeaming value, but makes the viewer sit up and take notice, it's probably fan service in one form or another.
In Evangelion, the episode preview for "Next time, service, service!"
by MoonKnight March 28, 2003
In anime, fanservice stands for scenes which are not relevant to the overall plot at all, but merely are included to give the viewers what they presumably want to see. This generally includes things like panty shots, bouncing boobs, shower scenes, skirts which barely cover the crotch area, but can also be things like incredibly overexaggerated explosions, giant robots or supercute animals.
Do an image search for "Agent Aika" and you will see. That series basically is ONLY fanservice without a plot.
by jbee2006 May 29, 2006
As stated above, "fanservice" came from Japanese anime, film, and music culture. Its definition is spreading to include any unnecessary visuals included simply because the fans, presumably, want to see them. Gratuitous nudity, male or female, but also shots of cute mascot animals (e.g., Chuchu the mouse in "Utena").

Shiu: Fanservice ...

by Jay Young May 10, 2005
Usually seen in reference to Japanese popculture. When someone (i.e. manga/anime character, music artist) flashes the general public and/or whenever two or more famous people engage in any action which could be perceived as sexual in nature just to stand out or please (excite, shock, etc.) their fans. Many bandmembers have been known to kiss, lick, rub, and hump against other bandmembers while performing or while in public. Usually, this is purely platonic, but not always.
Person #1: Did you see the ~ *insert band name here* performed at their last concert?
Person #2: Where the vocalist licked the bassist's neck, and later on the bassist humped the vocalist?
Person #1: Yeah, wasn't it great?!

In the middle of the film, the director included two minutes of fanservice, thus providing many twelve year-olds with masturbatory material.
by the letter d December 21, 2008
In terms of Anime, the least extreme form of nudity or sexually based angles. This may include panty shots, minor nudity, underwear shots, bouncing breasts and other such things added solely for comic effect or pleasuring perverted fans.
A less severe form of Ecchi or Hentai.
mostly found in romantic comedies and comedy.

by Dukeofyo90 September 22, 2005
Generally any situation or scene in a movie, cartoon, comic, or even real life in which a scene is done specifically to cater to what the fans want to see, divorced from a plot or any other non-catering need. Often mistaken as invented by Japanese anime, the truth of the matter is that Hollywood movies and American TV shows in particular had been using this concept for years, if not decades, before anime ever even existed; however, the coined word itself DID start within anime fandoms to reference scenes of near-nudity that held no part to the overall plot of the episode/movie/etc.
The first film to involve nudity in the US was 1959, whereas the advent of the modern style and tradition of anime was in the late 60's, hence fanservice existed prior to anime.

Actors face stage fright all the time. But consider this scenario: you show up to perform a one-person show, and you've never seen the script.
You don't know what it's about because you promised not to do any research. It's your first performance, and the only one you'll ever have. The theater's artistic director hands you a fat manila envelope with a script. And go.
Also, the audience will decide whether you drink a glass of water that appears to have been poisoned.
This is the premise of White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour.
"I did not know what was in front of me inside that envelope," says actor Gwydion Suilebhan. "What if this script is going to require that I disrobe? Or insult my mother? Or be rude or self-debasing?"
The script instructs "The Actor" to tell a story, a parable about a rabbit who won't wear a headscarf (think Animal Farm set in Tehran). The actor uses funny voices for the crows and bears, but the larger story is about how people manipulate each other.
"We are always part of this manipulation system," says Soleimanpour. "We want to sit and complain that we are not slaves, but meanwhile, we'd rather stay in the cage. That's us. We have to accept it."
The Actor is also told to do ridiculous things — and to get mad about them. "Fuck this crazy Iranian," he says, reading Soleimanpour's lines. "I agreed to do this thing because it was about rabbits. Now suddenly I have to play a cheetah who does an ostrich dance. I don't think that's fair."
Soleimanpour pulls his strings from afar, because — although the play has been performed in Toronto, Berlin, San Francisco, Brisbane, Edinburgh, London, and now Washington, DC — he really is in a cage. He doesn't have a passport and can't leave Iran, so he has never seen his play performed.
"Nassim has given up the kind of control that is customary for playwrights," says actor Suilebhan, of working with actors and directors to realize the play. "At the same time, because he has put all of these restrictions on how it is to be performed, he has seized certain kinds of control that playwrights normally do not have. So he is literally embodying the ideas of control and submission and manipulation that he's baked into his script."
You can find this story by Richard Paul, along with others and conversation about creativity, pop culture and the arts, at PRI's Studio 360.
