Learn how the growing Gov 2.0, Democracy 2.0, OpenData, and OpenGov movements will soon be making big waves in your community.
Toronto, Ontario, February 8, 2012 – CitizenBridge.org (www.citizenbridge.org) will be hosting an event as part of Social Media Week (www.socialmediaweek.org) on February 16 at Toronto City Hall to explore the depths and implications of how Gov 2.0, Democracy 2.0, OpenData and OpenGov will be changing the relationship between the Public and their elected Representatives.
The purpose behind these movements is to make government much more transparent, engaging, and collaborative. "An Evening on the Evolution of Democracy" is dedicated to investigate both the potential and drawbacks of these fascinating new developments.
One of the key elements of this investigation will be achieved through a roundtable discussion that will include the following stakeholders in the civic engagement community:
Councillor Josh Matlow – Toronto, Ward 22, St. Paul's
Twitter: @joshmatlow
Rob Newman – Project Lead, BetterBallots.to & President of Sustainable Strategy Inc.
Twitter: @rob_newman
Melissa Tullio – Senior Advisor, Centre for Innovation and Workplace Culture
Twitter: @OPS_innovates
Richard Pietro – Co-Founder, CitizenBridge.org & Former Green Party Candidate
Twitter: @richardpietro
Issues such as the privacy of our personal information, the accountability of decisions made in a collaborative political environment, and perhaps most importantly, will these movements become the new status quo or are they simply a passing fad?
In the true spirit of social media and engagement, an interactive online Twitter Q&A will take place as the Roundtable is in session.
"Everyone has questions, but some questions seem to be more relevant than others when you put a large group of people together," says Richard Pietro, Co-Founder of CitizenBridge and roundtable participant. "What better way than using Twitter to gauge what's on the mind of the audience?"
This will be accomplished using a combination of the event Twitter hashtag (#SMWTOCB), re-tweets, and an online tool known as Twaterfall (www.twaterfall.com). Anita Chauhan (@anita_chauhan), Social Media lead for CitizenBridge, will be facilitating, moderating, and tactically interjecting whenever a question or critique reaches critical mass.
Following the roundtable will be the demo of CitizenBridge.org and its vision on how the public and elected Representatives will engage in the very near future. As part of this demo, CitizenBridge will also be fielding questions about the site and soliciting comments on how to make it even better.
"An Evening on the Evolution of Democracy" promises to be engaging and enlightening for all who attend.
You can learn more about the event by Facebook Page, or contacting Richard Pietro at email@example.com
Date: February 16, 2012
Time: 5:30pm to 9pm
Location: Toronto City Hall (Member's Lounge)
Registration: @richardpietro, or email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Blood vessel stents
Improving blood flow
When it comes to treating a clogged or narrowed artery that leads to the heart, you may be aware of the tiny, expandable mesh tubes — or stents — that help prop open the narrowed artery. Less well-known is that stents can be used to hold open arteries in other areas of the body, as well.
In certain situations, stents are used to prop open arteries in the neck (carotid arteries) that supply blood to the brain. They are also used to open narrowed or clogged iliac arteries in the legs of people with peripheral artery disease (PAD), or to keep open arteries leading to the kidneys.
In general, vascular stenting provides an important option for improving blood flow. It may be considered when more-conservative drug therapies aren't adequate — and also as an alternative to surgery.
The common element
The most common disease treated by vascular stenting is atherosclerosis. This is when cholesterol-containing fatty deposits build up over time inside artery walls. This accumulation narrows, hardens and roughens the inside surface of the arteries.
When arteries that supply the heart with blood (coronary arteries) narrow enough, blood flow to part of the heart is reduced. The result may be chest pain or pressure, especially when you exert yourself or are under stress. If a heart artery becomes totally clogged, a heart attack can result.
With atherosclerosis in the main (carotid) artery leading to the brain, one of the biggest concerns is slow or turbulent blood flow over the fatty deposits....

Tips for Finding or Making a Perfect Mother's Day Gift
Mother's Day on the 13th is coming up, so make the day special for your mother or a mother figure in your life by delivering on a great Mother's Day gift. This week, the Ridge45 Apartments Blog has some tips for finding or making a good gift this month — right in your apartment or in stores near you in Traverse City, MI.
Decide on a Gift
Think about what type of gift would be best. Cater your choices to your gift recipient's tastes. Does she prefer sentimental, homemade items, or practical, store-bought ones? Would she prefer breakfast in bed to a card, or a coupon book of acts of service you're willing for her to cash in on? Think about what you know about her and especially what she's asked of you so you can ensure she'll appreciate your gift and your consideration.
Shop online.
You'll probably be able to find something at a mall or shop in Traverse City, but if you don't have the time to get out, make the most of the time you have to shop online and wait for it to arrive in the mail. Online shopping has its benefits because you can look at multiple products at multiple stores at once without feeling pressured to buy something you may not love. Uncommon Goods has a host of unique Mother's Day gifts you can choose from, including a What I Love About Mom By Me book, literary candles, and more. Real Simple has a list of 42 Mother's Day Gifts that any mom would love, including a personal embosser so your gift recipient can leave her mark on books, letters, gift tags, and more.
Make it yourself.
Pinterest also has some great Mother's Day gift ideas. We especially love this "I Love You Because…" chalkboard you can make with a frame and chalkboard vinyl so you can express your love and appreciation all year long. If you want to make this holiday special all day, use these Mother's Day printables as gift tags or cupcake decorators.
Give your time and thoughtfulness.
If none of these ideas appeal to you, another option is to give your mother a gift of time or service. Make arrangements to take your mom out to lunch or dinner — not just this month, but throughout the year. Flowers are a lovely Mother's Day gift, but go one better and arrange to have flowers delivered every few months throughout the year. Offer to help with a project your Mom is working on — just be sure to follow through with the service.
What tips do you have for making Mother's Day special? Where do you like to shop locally in Traverse, MI? Share your thoughts with us by leaving a comment. Thanks for reading. Good luck!

Kontrolorgan is the artist name of Johan Heinsen. Sun Shape Mirror is a collection of ritualistic, synth-beat driven dronescapes. There's a little of everything in here - the heady opener "Interestellar Frisbee", which sounds like a mix between No Neck Blues Band's darkest moments and Neil Campbell's most sunlit pieces, cold, brutalist, minimal synth worship "Excavations", blissed out Sunroof!ish miniature "Beastface", blackened guitar feedback monolith "Voyages and Execrations" and even some vocals on "Triangular Orbit", and more, more, more.

André Barbier
French Painter
André Barbier was born in Arras, France on 24th January 1883 into a family of lawyers.
At the age of twenty, Barbier left Arras and settled in Paris at the Quai aux fleurs, and in the same year, 1903, he exhibited four paintings at the nineteenth Salon des Independants.
As with so many painters of his day, he adopted on itinerant lifestyle, travelling between Paris, the outskirts of Paris, the Normandy coast and the Riviera, to say nothing of his trips abroad, especially to Italy.
Following his illustrious elders, Courbet, Corot and Monet, he went to Etretat to paint La Manneport and L'Aiguille. The white cliffs, the pebble beaches and the sea with it changing tones captivated him.
In 1916 a major event took place in Barbier's life when he met Claude Monet and sent him gifts of fruit, flowers and one of his paintings. Monet responded with a gift of three pastels, and a friendship was born which was to last until Monet's death in 1926.
Due to his wealth, much of Barbier's work has remained with his family, but today his paintings are collected extensively in America and Europe and have recently been bought by members of the Monaco & Belgian royal families.
André Barbier exhibited in the Salon des Independants from 1903 to 1914 and finally between 1967 and his death. From 1924 he exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries. In 1926 he exhibited at the Retrospective at the Société des Indépendants and in 1937 at the Exposition Internationale.
"Barbier uses his own distinctive style to outline, in a blue-purple flickering, some vague forms buried in a very delicate light in a skilful and discreet monochrome shade."
Translated from "Les petits Maîtres de la Peintures, Valeur de demain" by Gérard Schurr. Published by Les Editions de l'Amateur. Volume II, p. 131
"... Talented as your are, with this exceptional perception you have of surfaces and backgrounds, with that so lightly steam of air that you can capture on your canvas, it is not possible that you do not appear as one of your generation's true artists...... Build of mist and light, a world of poetry."
Extract from a letter from Gustave Geffroy (reknown art critic at the end of the 19th century)

David Lindsay-Abaire's, Rabbit Hole, tells the story of mourning and accepting loss and answers the question of what happens after a tragedy has stricken. Married couple, Becca and Howie are coping with the loss of their son, Danny, after a chase after his dog ends with him getting hit by a car driven by a seventeen-year-old.
Lindsay-Abaire interestingly made the decision to begin the play some time after the accident has already occurred. Becca and Howie are learning to cope alongside each other while accepting the fact that they each are experience different expressions of loss and find conflict with each other because of this as one's way of coping seems more like dancing around the situation to the other. Although categorized as a tragedy, the play seems to take a much deeper approach to the subject and focuses on the aftereffects of tragedy and the difficulties that come with it are oftentimes much harder than the tragedy in itself. It's beautifully tragic the way these characters interact with each other, and the brief moments of comedy act more of a bitter humor rather than a form of comedic release, creating an even more emotionally pulling set of dialogue.
By definition, the play doesn't necessarily present itself as a tragedy as the play isn't focusing on Danny's death but more on the ways Howie and Becca are dealing with these series of emotion together and on their own. However, the end of the play (Act 2 Scene 2) displays Becca and Howie in an extremely vulnerable moment with each other where they not only accept Danny' death after having parted with his possessions, but they also show each other the fear of moving forward in their lives as they must discover what exactly they wish to do now. That ending itself serves as a closing to the play and also brought the debate of tragedy back full-circle.
The ending can be taken in multiple ways, it can be seen as acceptance and a sense of connection between the married couple as they decide they wish to move forward together despite the unsure feeling of what their future holds. The other interpretation is the image of Becca and Howie sitting together, looking into each other's eyes, and sharing in this fear for their lives onward because they now have packed up the physical presence of Danny and must now decide what comes next for the two of them. It is almost as tragic as the accident itself and may very well be the deciding factor on how the play can be viewed as a tragedy.
Throughout the play characters are rarely given more than a line every time they speak and despite that, there is much presented in the tone and quick, sharp remarks they give each other, especially in moments of anger and sadness. The brief interactions between character is genuinely realistic and depicts strong moments of silence when nothing needs to be said and yet the silence is all that needs to be said in order to close those conflicts and emotional conversations.
Despite its years, the play is easily able to place itself in present time as the plot follows a set of individuals that can easily be detected in reality especially considering the topics the play touches on that are present today. It is a fairly short play and is nothing short of a beautifully written tragedy.
This play is available for purchase here.
The film adaptation is also available for viewing on various streaming services (Amazon Prime, Hulu, iTunes, etc.).

Daily Devotions For Wednesday: by Christina Farris 3/1/2017
Ezekiel 20:1-49 KJV
(1) And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
(2) Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
(3) Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
(4) Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
(5) And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
(6) In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
(7) Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
(8) But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
(9) But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
(10) Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
(11) And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
(12) Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
(13) But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
(14) But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
(15) Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
(16) Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
(17) Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
(18) But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
(19) I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
(20) And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
(21) Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
(22) Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
(23) I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
(24) Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
(25) Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
(26) And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
(27) Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
(28) For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
(29) Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
(30) Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?
(31) For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
(32) And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
(33) As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
(34) And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
(35) And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
(36) Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
(37) And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
(38) And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
(39) As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
(40) For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
(41) I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
(42) And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
(43) And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
(44) And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
(45) Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(46) Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
(47) And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
(48) And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
(49) Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
God never claimed after salvation that there would never be a time of sanctification for the believer. Isaiah said, "Though our sins be as scarlet scripture, He would wash us as white as snow." Jesus would wash us as white as snow, speaking of the cleansing power of God. Jesus first being the very word of God that would come in the flesh to die for the sins of all mankind. Today is Ash Wednesday. In ancient Jewish custom when repentance come they would repent in ashes. They would repent at the time of fall of their cities and also country. Yet it more then practice but ash would be placed on the head to represent sin and remorse for sin. A symbol or sign of true repentance. It was act of humility.
As the call of repentance continues on our nation it also is on the individual. Without Christ sanctification there is no repentance forth coming. Ezekiel in this chapter is repetitive about the need of repentance and that destruction was coming on Israel because of sin. God also talks about his mercy and grace to deliver anyone that would repent. He would deliver his nation, if they would repent.
The call of repentance is needed to remind the believer though our sins be forgiven, and we become a child of God, we must continue walking by His Spirit and His grace. People do backslide and turn from God, only to have God call to them to repent. To turn away from sin is to repent. To turn away from evil, or to do evil. It s a continual call on a believers life. It not a one time thing to turn from sin, yet it is the beginning to say I am sinner, but it is a continual process to say I am turning away from sin that I see, hear and experience. One mistake could cost you your life in a war zone. Christians you are in a war zone of faith. To continue to turn from sin, despite the temptation of friend and even the devil. You are protected and warned by God's Spirit not to sin. Listen to His voice. Let your voice speak back in obedience to God by saying Yes Lord I will follow you and not the tempter.
Fall on knees daily is only a begin for the believer, it is act of humility but it must begin in the heart. Your knees to feeble and hands hang down, so your knees hurt badly bending, yet your heart is right, God is not going to chastise you for not bowing literally to your knees. God is going to chastise you for your mistakes. God in Ezekiel is calling once more to His people to repent. Just like He does for every believer.
Dear Heavenly Father, forgives us of our sins, remind us not to follow the evil one. To follow your word and submit to you in all things. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
Continual Scripture Study For Devotions: Ephesians 5:26-27 KJV
(26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
(27) That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

EDM is where it's at and it's becoming a staple in hip hop, Lil Jon helped make this shift when he and DJ Snake came together for "Turn Down For What." In many ways, Waka Flocka Flame is similar to Lil Jon, turning to EDM, collaborating with Steve Aoko, who Hip Hop Vibe recently interviewed. But, Waka Flocka Flame jumped on Lil Jon and DJ Snake's new record.

Unfortunately there are many people out there in which an I.D. card would be ideal. Common scum you could say, people who need a close eye kept on them at all times.
But then there are many decent people out there too. Its a sad world we live in. As Albert Einstein would say "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil,
but because of those who look on and do nothing "James Sweet, 14 years ago.

Why can't I just watch the news to get emergency info?
You can! But you won't get info as quickly. When an emergency occurs, alerts go out through the PublicAlerts systems first. Next, messages go out through social media, and then messages are broadcast on local television stations. Plus, the power might be out! Have multiple ways to Stay Informed.
I already receive Amber Alerts. Why should I sign up for PublicAlerts?
PublicAlerts is different. Amber Alerts are part of the federal Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system. The WEA sends alerts to cell phones in a large geographical area. Topics include a) missing children, b) extreme weather, and c) presidential alerts during a national emergency. Sometimes local emergency managers can't wait for the federal government to send a message out. And sometimes they want to target a smaller area. The PublicAlerts system allows them to quickly send messages to specific neighborhoods.
What kind of alerts might I receive?
Alerts can cover a range of topics, including: hazardous material spills, boil water notices, power outages, large fires or flooding, missing persons, police activity, terrorist incidents, major landslides, road or bridge closures, major traffic issues, public health emergencies, school closures, severe weather, volcanic eruptions, and other dangers.
In addition to telling you what's happening, alerts can also tell you what to do and where to go for resources.
There was an emergency in my neighborhood. Why didn't I get a message from PublicAlerts?
PublicAlerts is one of many tools used by public safety professionals to warn the people to take safety action (such as to stay indoors or evacuate) in an emergency. The system is not used for all emergencies. When activated, the message only goes to residents in the area directly affected by the emergency. If you haven't already, you should login to your area's PublicAlerts system to create an account or make sure the information in your existing account is correct.
Will I still get emergency notifications if I don't sign up?
Most landline phone numbers are already included in the PublicAlerts system. But to receive alerts on your mobile phone or at an email address, you must register through the PublicAlerts website.
Are there other ways to receive emergency notifications?
Yes. PublicAlerts is only one of several methods of emergency communication used by city and county officials. They also use social media and traditional print (newspaper) and broadcast media (television). Emergency information is also sometimes shared through the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alert system when appropriate.
What if my phone number or email address changes?
The system is only as good as the information people provide. If your contact information changes, login to your account and update your information.
How reliable is PublicAlerts?
Every effort has been made to ensure reliability of PublicAlerts systems. But the delivery of alert messages relies on external phone and internet networks outside local control. Local authorities are working with service providers to increase the reliability of these notifications. Below are some examples of service limitations.
- Email: Your ability to receive emails may be disrupted if the networks are damaged or at maximum capacity.
- Text Messages: Most wireless carriers do not guarantee delivery of text messages. Check with your wireless service provider to learn whether outages and congestion may impact text messages from PublicAlerts.
- Telephone: Phone service may be disrupted if your wired or wireless carrier is experiencing network congestion or outages, or if you have poor reception.
- Website: The PublicAlerts website has been designed to handle high volumes of users with little or no impact on performance. However, you may not be able to access certain websites if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is experiencing outages.
- Twitter: Tweets may be delayed. Use the fewest number of characters necessary to deliver a message.
Who manages the PublicAlerts system?
Each county's emergency management office controls their own PublicAlerts system. Some cities manage their own system (including Tigard). This website is maintained by the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management on behalf of the region. Partner agencies contribute to content.
Will my contact information be shared with others?
No. The information that you provide will be used only by the PublicAlerts system. We will never give or sell your contact or location information to any vendor or other organization.

Sword and Knife Makers
ZipSquare posted a topic in General ItemsI am new to this forum and this would be my first post. However, I am a native of Cebu. I know several blade makers here in Cebu City, If we are to talk about the blade, yes, they make good ones. However, I haven't found those who make good fittings (e.g. Handle, Scabbard, and Handguard.) And it is a rarity for me to find those who make blade fittings with kamagong or similar hardwood and with artistic qualities in mind. I also would love for anyone in this forum to point me to good blade makers with or without good fittings. Salamat kaayo for those who would reply!

There's a stage in every company's development when the smart people leave and the company runs on autopilot from then on, in a zombie-like half-life. It happened to Hewlett-Packard when Dr. Hewlett and Dr. Packard passed on; it happened to Apple when Steve Jobs left the first time, and it happened to eBay and PayPal ages ago (as anyone who has ever tried to find an actual human being to help them with a problem knows to their sorrow).
Now I'm wondering if it's happening to Google. Their "new look" for Gmail is a train wreck. Where did all the emphasis on tiny, faint gray text come from? Is everyone over thirty supposed to find a new mail provider right now?
Some mail threads are extended by adding comments to the top of the existing material, so there needs to be a "Reply" button at the top of the message as well as the bottom. Where did it go?
I've found no advantage in the new look, and, so far, I've heard of no one else who does so, either? So why is Google riling us all up by telling us that the old look will soon go away forever? It's not as if they don't have hundreds of thousands of servers! They can keep the old version, the one their smart people designed before they all left, as a sort of shrine to the company they used to be.

Just spent 3 weeks here in July. The villa exceeded our expectations! It was easy to find, well maintained and spotlessly clean. It was well equipped with everything you could need including pool inflatables and lots of games for the kids.
The pool area is large with an extended deck and it gets sun all day.
Walmart is right outside and there is a few nice restaurants nearby.
We had a fantastic stay and we will recommend this villa to friends and family. We are hoping to book again in the future.
Thanks again Gary

This is a villa we have used three times as a family, on arrival this time (April 16) we were pleased the new owners had started to update and renew furnishings, new family room sofas, flat-screen tv, new carpets throughout bedding etc. it has the benefit of a good pool area with the option of shade or sun during the day. It also has the advantage of having a huge Wallmart supermarket at the development entrance, a 10 mins walk from the villa. Thanks to Gary for your prompt attention at all times.

The title is a line from the cartoon "Dumbo", but it keeps going through my head.
Several months ago my KSB seemed to go on a hunger strike. He quit eating his f/t fuzzies and no matter what I did to them or how I offered them, he refused to hit them. I finally broke down and started feeding him live, which I don't have a problem with except for the fact that I have to go out and buy them one at a time, lol.
I went out today to get his weekly mouse and the breeder told me that her parent rodents had gotten old and she'd had to restart production which meant that she only had pinky mice and rats to offer. Since the mice were way too small, and since I had been considering rat pinks for him for a while, I decided to get a newborn rat for him. I put the rat in his feeding bowl (it's a dog bowl base that doubles as a hide) and put him in there with it, and he promptly struck it so I covered him so he could eat in peace.
Usually when I check back some minutes later, he has crawled out of his bowl to under it, but today he was laying half in and half out of it, and I could almost hear him groaning. For a change I could actually see a lump in his body, and when took the cover off it prompted him to climb completely out and slide into the hide. I swear it reminded me of someone who has eaten so much that they have to waddle to walk anywhere.
So now I think I can say I have seen a snake waddle.

Fay Pickersgill's Jamaica's Fascinating Falmouth
It was a book she hadn't intended to write, yet at its birth Fay Pickersgill ushered Jamaica's Fascinating Falmouth into the world with much ado. Falmouth's population of Georgian architecture remains a distinguishing feature, harkening the to its days of wealth and prominence when sugar, watered by the blood and sweat of enslaved Africans was king.
"What I have managed to write is what is called a book," Pickersgill said. She noted however, that when she first put finger to keypad, she had expected to produce a 'did you know' brochure, as she had never wanted to accept the responsibilities that accrue to authors. However, as she gathered information and the work grew, it blossomed into a thing that only the word 'book' could accurately describe.
Her aim, Pickersgill explained to the audience, was to allow people to have more information about the town, which might inspire its residents and those in the wider Trelawny, to be more active in protecting the town.
"It occurred to me that I needed to share the information that I had on Falmouth," Pickersgill said.
Indeed, until the recent development of the Falmouth cruise ship port (coming attendant with merits and demerits), Falmouth seemed to have been left to wallow in its own demise, becoming another of Jamaica's towns "that time forgot".
"I honestly feel that if people have knowledge they can appreciate and if they appreciate then they can understand," Pickersgill explained, noting that the wider community appeared to be unaware of the town's history, which seemed to fuel that absence of willingness to protect and celebrate it.
Interestingly, in his remarks, Hon. Paul Muschett Custos of Trelawny pointed out that many potential developers want to destroy the old buildings and replace them with modern ones. An act that would certainly, act in contradiction to attempts to leverage the town's history and the beauty of the existing architecture.
Most Hon. PJ Patterson noted, delivered the address for the launch. He noted that the book had resulted from a lengthy affair between Pickersgill and the town which dated back to her youth in Trelawny.
"It is a fascinating and picturesque tale from the earliest years of Martha Brae, the main seaport of Trelawny, through the period of unrivalled prosperity, to the creation of today's innovative cruise ship port," Patterson said.
"This book is not meant to be a scholarly treatise but a handy compilation of historical highlights, including the foundation of the town, places to go things to see and insights into the past," Patterson continued, going on to describe Fascinating Falmouth as charming, insightful and elegant.
Fascinating Falmouth, featuring images by Ray Chen, explores the town's history, as well as a looks at the present. It looks at the major attractions in the town, historical monuments, and famous Jamaicans who had been born in the parish. Indeed, a few were in the audience, as sprinters Michael Frater and Warren Weir both made appearances.
The launch was ably hosted by Michael Anthony Cuff, who laughingly told the audience that he used to think of himself as 'the voice', a charming nod to his daughter in laugh, singer Tessanne's performances on NBC's The Voice. The event was held at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel on Wednesday, December 11, 2013.

Good afternoon! Today's blog post is about a product which I simply adore – L'Oréal's Facial Cleansing Oil. This product is by far one of my favourite cleansing oils from those that I have tried. Another favourite is The Body Shops Chamomile Facial Oil, this is also amazing!
Facial oils are my go to product for removing make-up. To begin with, I always remove my make-up with Simple Wet Wipes and then cleanse my skin afterwards. The reason I choose to use cleansing oils, is because I really feel as though they thoroughly remove the make-up from my skin.
L'Oréal's Cleansing Oil is great if you have sensitive skin like me, because it does its job and leaves my skin feeling super cleansed and fresh! It has a very subtle scent and the texture is not too oily, therefore when you rinse it off you don't get left with any oil residue on your face. It can also be used to take off eye make-up, and works a treat for this too (no burning eyes with this one!). I cannot recommend this product enough, it's affordable at £7.99, great for sensitive skin and takes all your make-up off in seconds. Being someone that has suffered from skin problems, I know only too well how difficult it can be to find the right products that don't irritate your skin, and I was so grateful to have been introduced to this.
I would love to hear which cleansing oils are your favourite and any recommendations – I'm always up for trying new ones!
Find it here: L'Oreal Extraordinary Facial Oil

We have seen a multitude of notoriously powerful and fast 'Vetts but this one – the Unicorn 'Vette is definitely one of the best ever. With the 2400hp engine, this insanity is capable of hitting some serious numbers on the drag strip. 88mm Turbos fitted to it let a whole lot of air inside and grant the car with the power not that long ago linked only with planes and boats. This is a 'Vette we did not expect.

Thinking about planning a trip to the Butte this Winter? These are our most recommended things to do once you get here. Make note of this list for the next time you are lucky enough to find yourself taking in these sights.
Need a place to stay? WestWall Lodge has luxury ski in/ski out rentals right at the lift! Save 10% on stays from 1/4 – 3/13 with code SKI.
1. Breathe
Get outside and take a few deep breaths. Our fresh mountain air doesn't get much better anywhere in this country. Far from the crowded cities, and far from any industrial center, we could probably bottle and sell the air up here.
2. Visit the Mountain
Take the free bus up to Mt. Crested Butte and enjoy a range of dining and activities. Enjoy a plethora of hiking and biking tails or even take the lift up and hike the peak. Be sure to grab dinner and drinks at one of the many restaurants of Mt. Crested Butte
3. Festivals/Events
Summer is packed with special events celebrating food, drink, music, art, sport, and nature that can only be experienced here in the high Rockies. Check out some of the amazing events below to find the perfect one for you!
4. Stroll down Elk Ave
stroll (strl)
– to go for a leisurely walk
When was the last time you did this? Not for exercise or to get somewhere, but to just breathe and take in the sights. Crested Butte is an extremely pedestrian friendly town with historical buildings, mountain views, and plenty of places to stop in and visit.
5. Listen to Good Tunes
There is live music year-round in the Butte. The Center for the Arts puts on Alpenglow concerts in the town of Crested Butte on Monday evenings. The ski resort puts on their Mt. CB summer concert series up on the mountain. Both are perfect outdoor venues for the whole family and FREE. Grab a blanket, have a picnic, and enjoy the live music all summer long.
6. Hike or Snowshoe
Crested Butte lies close to the heart of the Elk Mountain Range in the Colorado Rockies. Wildflowers dominate the summer, golden aspens in the fall, and serene snowscapes in the winter. There are trails close to town for all ability levels. You owe it to yourself to leave your worries behind and escape into the wilderness.
7. Dine Out
This was probably already on the itinerary, but it still surprises us how much great food is available in a town this size. Choose from pretty much any cuisine and be delighted.

You'll join a friendly community of almost 19,000 staff and students
A clinical psychologist from Kent is the first psychologist in the country to be awarded a prestigious Department of Health Clinical Lectureship, which she will use to conduct research into anorexia.
The study, SPEAKS (Specialist Psychotherapy with Emotion for Anorexia in Kent and Sussex), will focus on trying to understand how to tackle some of the emotional difficulties associated with adult anorexia and offer help to the patient by regulating their feelings and increase their tolerance of emotion.
Dr Anna Oldershaw, a clinical psychologist at Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership (KMPT) is being funded by the National Institute of Health Research, NIHR, whose fellowships support 'outstanding individuals to become health leaders of the future'.
Anna will be conducting the study at the KMPT Eating Disorder service and in conjunction with Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The research for this new psychological approach to helping people with anorexia will be hosted by the Salomons Centre for Applied Psychology at Canterbury Christ Church University for the duration of the award, which will start next month (April 2016) and end in 2021.
Anna said: "I am so excited about winning the fellowship as I am very passionate about this work, which I started during my PhD and have been building on ever since.
"At the moment the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, NICE, guidelines cannot identify one intervention as being clearly effective and best practice for adults with anorexia and we urgently need to find better ways to help. Part of the work will be to learn more from people with lived experience of anorexia about how we can best help them, and I will be having lots of conversations with current and former patients, families and therapists."
Professor Tony Lavender, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Knowledge Exchange) at Christ Church, said: "There has been a combined focus of effort and resources from the local Universities, Health Trusts and Research Design Services to support personal fellowship awards. These are a good way of undertaking health research, alongside progressing a clinical career and give the opportunity to work with academic and clinical colleagues. We very much look forward to working with Anna and sharing the learning as the project progresses."
If anyone would like to volunteer to take part in this exciting research project they should contact Anna: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Programme:
The Health Education England (HEE) and NIHR Integrated Clinical Academic (ICA) Programme, provides personal research training awards for healthcare professionals (excluding doctors and dentists) who wish to develop careers that combine clinical research and research leadership with continued clinical practice and clinical development. http://www.nihr.ac.uk/funding/nihr-hee-ica-programme.htm
For a Clinical Lectureship, applicants require support from both an English NHS / healthcare organisation and an English higher education institution, and should propose to divide their time equally between their clinical and academic commitments. A Clinical Lectureship should enable the award holder to make a significant contribution to clinical practice whilst supporting their development as a potential clinical academic leader. The NIHR supports 'outstanding individuals to become health leaders of the future'.
Canterbury Christ Church University
Canterbury Christ Church University is a modern university with a particular strength in higher education for the public services.
With almost 18,000 students across Kent and Medway, its courses span a wide range of academic and professional subject areas.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
Shopping in Oak Park
Stops: Oak Park, Harlem/Lake
Though technically outside Chicago city limits, Oak Park is a great part of the Green Line and a fun destination for any train rider. It's a fairly affluent, historic suburb that is best explored on foot. The main drag on Lake Street is full of quaint shops and specialty boutiques, but be sure to take a stroll through the neighborhoods as well. Big, beautiful homes that are the furthest thing from cookie-cutter structures line every block. Frank Lloyd Wright brought his architectural eye to the area for a reason.
Chinatown and the South Loop
Stop: Cermak-McCormick Place
This Green Line stop is the rail's newest, opening in 2015. It gives travelers invaluable walking access to the massive McCormick Place convention center, which you can take advantage of during the upcoming Chicago Auto Show. But it's also in close proximity to all the best parts of the South Loop, including Chinatown attractions. You could spend a whole day exploring everything the area has to offer.
Hyde Park
Stop: Cottage Grove
The southeast end of the Green Line stops in the popular Hyde Park neighborhood. It's home to the world-famous University of Chicago campus as well as the Museum of Science and Industry. These sights, as well as knockout dining, shopping, and nightlife are all accessible from the Cottage Grove stop. Try Jimmy's Woodlawn Tap, Seven Ten Lanes, or 57th Street Books for neighborhood favorites.
Au Cheval
Stop: Morgan
The West Loop is riddled with fine-dining establishments, but in terms of variety and ambiance, Au Cheval stands out above the rest. Their specialty burgers garner the most critical attention, so definitely consider the cheeseburgers during your visit. But they also serve everything from a traditional English breakfast to honey-fried chicken and matzah ball soup. The rich interior full of dark wood and tufted leather booths is reminiscent of an upscale diner, so be prepared for a long menu and lots of mood lighting. Also, don't miss their list of literary-themed cocktails, including the Boo Radley and the Hemingway Daiquiri.
Au Cheval, 800 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL, USA, +1 312 929 4580
Cork & Kerry at the Park
Stop: 35th-Bronzeville-IIT
At the center of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) campus and the Chicago White Sox's Guaranteed Rate Field is a welcoming location of the South Side's famous Cork & Kerry. The original Irish pub is a mainstay on Western Avenue in Beverly, and the Sox park space is just as delicious. Get a taste of the city's South Side by trying their Italian beef sandwich, Kerry Club or fish and chips.
Goose Island Brewery
Stop: Ashland
You've seen Goose Island beer sold in almost every bar, supermarket, and liquor store in Chicago. But just minutes from the Green Line and the Loop, you can actually visit their brewery, warehouse, and tap room. Stop in for just a pint with friends or take an hour-long tour of the whole place. The availability of their beers rotates with the seasons, and you can check out a calendar of when to grab your favorite. But rest assured as they always have plenty to choose from, including the appropriately named Green Line Pale Ale.
Goose Island, 1800 W Fulton St, Chicago, IL, USA, +1 800 466 7363
CH Distillery
Stop: Clinton
If you identify as any sort of cocktail aficionado, CH Distillery has to be one of your Chicago must-sees. It's a distillery, cocktail bar, and small-plates dining venue all rolled into one beautiful, sophisticated package. Come on a Tuesday or Saturday evening when they offer a behind-the-scenes tour of the facilities given by the owner. And if you can't decide on a drink from their lengthy portfolio, try out their 'mood cocktail' program, where you simply chat with a bartender, and they whip up a beverage for you based on your mood. If that's too much for you, the Cease and Desist is a major house favorite.
CH Distillery, 564 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL, USA, +1 312 707 8780

DustinReige, 02 Sep 2010I am having problem with my E590,ERROR: LIMITED SERVICE!! I bring it to the technician, I am g... morewhat did you do to your samsung shg 590?
did u let someone repair it?
after repair how the service of the phone, it is ok can call and text to outgoing?

Got it in autumn 2007 and still loving it!
It is the smallest brick-phone I can find till this day. It's cute'n slim, it gets into any pocket(sometimes even the zippo pocket of jeans) and very comfortable.
The minuses discovered after were little - can't set SMS ringtone from mid/mp3, and it holds 4MB for ALL Java apps ALTOGETHER, which is too little for me. Also I can't put jars by wire (can anyone?) which is what i really want in my next phone (i want to make java game). Other than this - 100% good!
Of course it's not bullet proof nor fool proor, don't put acetone on buttons or plastic, it can discolor. I want to buy a new battery next. I had replaced usb port in the phone (in the repairshop), but all this happened a year after guarantee went off, and by my fault :P
I got upset when I lost the stand thingy, I really loved it!
Best phone I ever had! Will buy it again if added newer firmware and java on the wire, with no 4meg limit. I even like the screen 220x220. Touchscreens are cool but this phone really makes me hold it and not get Android.
you dont have to face out this phone because it is beautifuil to use
beware of the limited service error... you wont be able to send text or call... its not with the sim it is with the phone. Samsung does not yet have the cure and it is frustrating..

i buy this phone about 2 years ago useing it for about 4 munths then the screen go blank. this is not a good buy, so the phone is out of use for the longest wile now..
I have been using this cellphone for 1 year and four months and I can say this Samsung SGH-E590 was really great! It's camera provides good quality pictures and videos as well. The speaker of this phone was as loud as a portable speaker. Moreover, I can also save my important files here (MS Word, PowerPoint Presentations, Files in Adobe & PDF Format, Photos in Large Sizes etc.) because it has a file viewer feature. Until now my phone is still in very good condition physically. I'm still thinking if I will sell this to someone who really like this phone for me to buy a better one. Congratulations to Samsung Mobile for producing this one-of-a-kind gadget, it's none other than the SGH-E590!
Your truly,
- themortalmedia =) -
I went to a samsung store in SM Baguio, Philippines, they said it's already phased out?! D:
When i got SGH E590 model,it makes me hightech and all of the application,files,phonebook,camera etc are great as im expecting in cellphone.
iam agree with all off above opininon, its true, abaut the advantage of this phoe, but it's also true with the lackless one, iam confuse how do we (user) have service to make this phone as like as what produsers promises...any one please tell me how
hi, can anyone help me, where i can download free softwares for this phone?
this phone is so cute, handy, durable & cool.. i had this phone for 2yrs and still in good condition.. but someone took it from me.. :(
Its a very nice phone small and cute. I love it specially the camera But sometimes signal is limited. And I cant install java files does anyone here know how?
e 590 is so cool.. i have it since 2005! there are many phones in the market but this fone is really amazing so cute and durable!

Saw a lotta phones..but that was the 1 to pick....looks fantastic but i fancy nice dictionary
Love the size, and weight, and the camera. Have this fon since december 2009. Recently I had it fixed ( since it is still under warranty) because the unit keeps warm or hot even if i turn off the fon. I had to take off the batt becoz it is alarming. The samsung tech said the mother board must be changed. The problem,he said, is due to "over charging". I don't understand it because all the fons i had didn't have that kind of problem. Anyway we're back together again.

The La Ferrassie project has resulted in the discovery of new in situ deposits which were the focus of a multi-year excavation project. Lithic analysis is on-going but the deposits contain a Mousterian with bifaces, a Mousterian with Levallois technology and scrapers, a Chatelperronian and an Aurignacian. These characterizations will become more precise as work continues.
Geological work including geophysical survey has confirmed the suggestion that the La Ferrassie shelter is actually the opening of a karst cut by the small valley next to the site. It is also clear that there is a change in deposition from alluvial sediments at the base to colluvial sediments in the upper part. In early 2012, we looked at the sediment still attached to the La Ferrassie 2 foot (shown here) to place it in our sequence. A similar study with the La Ferrassie 1 skeleton took place in early 2015. These studies have helped place the skeletons in the newly excavated sequence.
A program of luminescence and radiocarbon dating on bone is in progress. The luminescence results have been published in the Journal of Archaeological Science. As for the radiocarbon program, good collagen preservation has been confirmed through most of the sequence, and work now is concentrated on building a large sample of dates from the relevant levels.
Excavations ended in 2014. 2015 is a study season. No further work at the site is planned by the current team.

Recent economic challenges have placed serious pressure on people to think very differently. Business as usual is not an option, its time for something completely different. Cuts in public and private sector budgets have taken their toll – redundancies, lost revenue, projects going on hold…the story goes on. So what's the answer? Manage decline and depression or look for the opportunities. As one delegate at an event I spoke at the other week put it…."recession, I have decided not to participate". A very refreshing approach and outlook, the very opposite to the doom and gloom the media encourages us to embrace.
The answer is to practice and develop the Smart Operator Mindset – this ultimately leads to the creation of the high growth individual. We should draw parallels from the world of enterprise and create our own personal business plan, one that maps out a destination with the prioritized tasks to get us there. Here are some pointers for the Smart Operator Mindset:
1. Smart Proposition – define your unique talents, what you love doing, what you want, what gets out of bed. Aligning a future to a basic purpose really does help to accelerate the way forward.
2. Smart Vision – write down your personal intentions for 6 months, 1 year, and 2-years. Base this on your Smart Proposition. Include earnings and other components that make up the life you want
3. Smart Plan – remember a vision without tactics is hallucination. List the things you need to do and get on with it. The right path will emerge when activity is initiated. Avoid procrastination. Set yourself KPI's to check whether you are on track.
4. Smart Brand – you are selling yourself, so work out what mental imprints you want to leave on those you meet. Be memorable, deliver on your promises and become the master of your trade. This is what you will become known for.
5. Smart Collaborator – work out who you need to engage and team up with. Alliances and partnerships are a critical part of the Smart Operators DNA.
6. Smart Communicator – master the art of getting messages across, think win-win and live in the world of your audience. Clarity and concise messages that considers both your needs and those of others lead to positive relationships that go somewhere.
7. Smart Connector – work out a plan for finding, reaching and locking into to those individuals and organisations that are important to your personal progression. The connectors and influencers could include suppliers, banks, associates, partners, customers, other departments.
Practice makes perfect, another cliché that I hate, but its true. As Malcolm Gladwell said it takes 10,000 hours to become successful, so that means blood, sweat and tears, I still don't think there are any short cuts to getting want you want. A combination of being really good at what you love doing, combined with taking ownership of your life fused with determination and persistence help pave the way forward. The Smart Operator Mindset is a framework for you to hang your thinking on.

Pooja Bhatt upset with double standards on 'Quantico' row
Filmmaker-actress Pooja Bhatt has come out in support of Indian actress Priyanka Chopra, who is facing criticism over a scene in American TV show 'Quantico'.
Priyanka had apologized for an episode on the show, portraying Indian nationalists as terrorists who were trying to frame Pakistan in a terror plot.
"When Priyanka Chopra makes a mark for herself internationally, we claim her achievements as our own and then threaten to ban her films and make her apologize for a work of fiction that has been created by someone else. Can we please attempt to be larger than that?" Pooja tweeted on Monday. (Also Read: Priyanka Chopra apologizes for recent 'Quantico' episode featuring Indian Terrorists)
In the episode, Priyanka, who plays Alex Parrish, is an anti-terrorist officer who plots a nuclear attack in Manhattan to frame Pakistan for it, just days before an India-Pakistan summit is to be held. The episode drew intense criticism from Indian fans.
After ABC issued an apology, Priyanka said sorry too.
"I'm extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of 'Quantico'. That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologize. I'm a proud Indian and that will never change," Priyanka had tweeted.
