Lt. governor race may reshape Virginia Senate
Posted November 04 2013 by Sam Isaacs
While Terry McAuliffe and Ken Cuccinelli duke it out in the gubernatorial election, another race is being fought more quietly — one that could have a deciding effect on Virginia's legislative system. Democratic state Sen. Ralph Northam is facing Republican preacher E.W. Jackson for lieutenant governor. But GOP officials may be smiling even if Jackson loses, as polls predict. That's because Northam would have to give up his seat in the now-evenly-divided Virginia Senate — opening the door for Republicans to capture an outright majority in that chamber.READ MORE >>
100th District incumbent Lewis expected to keep seat
Posted November 01 2013 by Corinne Reilly
Del. Lynwood Lewis, a Democrat in the 100th House District, is expected to easily win a sixth term next week. Lewis, 51, represents Accomack and Northampton counties and part of Norfolk. He was first elected in 2003, when he won 60 percent of the vote after the retirement of longtime Del. Robert S. Bloxom. Since then, Lewis has faced only one Republican challenger, whom he defeated by a wide margin in 2009.READ MORE >>

Join Lee Lanier for an in-depth discussion in this video Refining the motion graphics, part of VFX Techniques: Building Replacement with After Effects.
We have a nice billboard here that we created with Motion Graphics techniques,…using text and solid layers and so on.…Looks pretty good, but it's not quite integrated completely.…If I zoom in you can see that the text and the solids are very, very sharp…edged, whereas the video background is a bit soft, we can do a few things to improve that.…Let me go back to the Billboard comp and take a look. Now the first thing we can…address is the actual scrolling text, it's very cleaned edge, doesn't really…look like an electronic readout or light bulbs or anything like that.…
So one trick we can apply is a Mosaic Effect.…Mosaic will pixelate this and make it look much cruder as if there weren't that…many light bulbs or weren't that many pixels to start with.…So I am going to pick that layer, go up to Effect>Stylize and apply Mosaic.…As soon as I do that you can see that it becomes blocky.…Those are basically pixels, so I can choose how many I have horizontally and vertically.…You can experiment with these values up here to get basically square pixels.…
Learn how to track the footage with the Adobe After Effects 3D Camera Tracker, replace areas such as the sky, rotoscope moving elements such as buildings and cars, and integrate a digital matte painting so it gains appropriate shifts in perspective and scale. You'll also apply color-grading techniques and learn how to fabricate reflections. The course also covers an alternative motion-tracking workflow with the Foundry CameraTracker plugin.
- Using the After Effects 3D Camera Tracker
- Applying tracking data to 3D layers
- Constructing and refining motion graphics
- Keying out the sky
- Rotoscoping to remove and save features
- Using the Foundry CameraTracker plugin
- Creating reflections

From publisher blurb:
Trauma has carefully researched risks, symptoms and treatments. Rules for diagnosis and surgery in medieval, modern and futuristic settings as well as healing spells. Each of five major body locations (head, chest, abdomen, arms & legs) have their own chapter with anatomy and injuries. Each injury described in detail with symptoms and treatments.
Tables are provided for each location with wounds for slash, pierce and crush with five degrees of severity, ranging from superficial to mortal. Plus two tables for electrical burns. All these provide vivid descriptions of wounds from the viewpoint of the combatants as well as medical descriptions of physical damage caused, such as broken bones and damaged organs. Designed to be handled after combat to keep it fast paced and not interfere with game mechanics.
Trauma was written so that it can be easily used with most roleplaying game systems. The difficulties and wound severities used are those from the Fantasy Dice system used in the Crimson Exodus Roleplaying Game, but they are briefly explained and easy to understand. Difficulties are simply: easy, tricky, hard, severe, extreme and insane. The wound severities are superficial, nasty, grievous, grim and mortal.

IDKE is a first-of-its-kind event in that is is a collaborative, non-competitive gathering of drag kings, their fans, and the people who studied, photographed and filmed them.
In October 2003, IDKE 5 realized its true potential as a traveling annual conference with its move to Minneapolis, Minnesota, IDKE 6 in 2004 took place in Chicago, Illinois, IDKE 7 took place in Winnipeg, Canada in 2005, IDKE 8 took place in Austin, Texas in 2006 and to round out IDKE's tour of North America, IDKE 9 took place in Vancouver, Canada in 2007.

U-PASS & Transit Frequently Asked Questions
Click on the questions to reveal the answers.
General U-PASS questions
What transit fares does the U-PASS cover?
The U-PASS covers full fare on bus transit service from King County Metro Transit, Community Transit, Pierce Transit, Kitsap Transit, Everett Transit and Sound Transit.
U-PASS also covers Sounder commuter rail, Link light rail, King County Water Taxi, Kitsap Fast Ferries, Seattle Streetcar and NightRide.
U-PASS does not cover Washington State Ferries.
How do I use my U-PASS?
Tap your card on the ORCA card reader at the front of the bus or at the yellow wall or pole-mounted ORCA card reader at Link, Sounder or Swift stations. Tap your card on the ORCA card reader and pause until you see the green light and hear the beep.
You tap the reader once to travel by bus, just when you board. For Sound Transit's Link light rail and Sounder commuter trains, tap the reader once before entering the train for proof of payment and tap again at your destination station as you leave.
At RapidRide stations you have the option to tap on the ORCA reader at the station or on the bus as you enter.
Can I lend my U-PASS to others?
No, your U-PASS is for your personal transportation only. It is non-transferable, meaning you may not give or sell your Husky Card or your U-PASS to any other person. Bus drivers and train fare inspectors can confiscate any Husky Card that does not belong to you.
How do I find the best bus route to take me to the university?
Approximately 50 bus routes from King, Snohomish and Pierce counties come to the University District, with more than 30 coming directly to campus. Contact the Commute Concierge service at 206-221-3701, Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for personalized route planning!
How do I use my U-PASS on the bus, light rail or commuter train?
Tap your card on the ORCA card reader at the front of the bus or at the yellow wall or pole-mounted ORCA card reader at Link, Sounder or Swift stations. Tap your card on the ORCA card reader and pause until you see the green light and hear the beep.
You tap the reader once to travel by bus, just when you board. For Sound Transit's Link light rail and Sounder commuter trains, tap the reader once before entering the train for proof of payment and tap again at your destination station as you leave.
At RapidRide stations you have the option to tap on the ORCA reader at the station or on the bus as you enter.
How do I activate my U-PASS powered by ORCA?
Your new U-PASS will need to be activated after you purchase it, or after your register for classes. Activation takes three easy steps:
- 1. Purchase - To participate in the U-PASS program, you first purchase U-PASS membership at the campus where your primary work or academic major is based.
- 2. Wait - You must wait 24 to 48 hours after purchase before you can use your U-PASS on transit. U-PASS activation for transit is uploaded onto the readers on buses when they are at the base (i.e. not on the road). Train station readers are updated daily.
- 3. Tap within 60 days - To finalize the activation of your U-PASS for use on transit, you must use it for transit service within 60 days of purchase. Tapping your card on the ORCA reader updates your chip and finalizes activation of your U-PASS for transit. If you do not tap onto transit within 60 days, your U-PASS will not work for transit fare payment and you will need to request reactivation of your U-PASS transit benefit here.
U-PASS is a universal program for eligible students and the fee appears on the student tuition statement.
How can I purchase a U-PASS?
A quarterly or annual U-PASS can be purchased at Transportation Services. Your U-PASS will be activated 24-48 hours after purchase. Customers will be responsible for paying their own fare between purchase and activation on transit. If you have an annual U-PASS on payroll deduction you can still renew your U-PASS through the annual renewal process each spring.
U-PASS is a universal program for eligible students and the fee appears on the student tuition statement.
Why does it take 24 to 48 hours to activate the U-PASS?
The ORCA system updates twice a day with new pass purchases. U-PASS activation for transit is uploaded onto the readers on buses when they are at the base (i.e. not on the road) and the buses are on the road most of the day. Train station readers are updated daily.
What happens if I don't tap my card within the 60 day activation period?
If you do not tap onto transit within 60 days of issuance, your U-PASS will not work for transit fare payment. You will need to request reactivation of your U-PASS transit benefit here.
I found someone's Husky Card. Where should I send it?
Please mail it to: Husky Card Office, Odegaard Undergraduate Library, Ground Floor, Box 353085, Seattle, WA 98195-3085
U-PASS, ORCA and Husky Card
What is ORCA?
ORCA stands for One Regional Card for All. It is the regional transit fare payment system.
What is the smart chip?
The smart chip is a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip located inside your Husky Card that stores the U-PASS transit benefit and interacts with the ORCA system. The smart chip is programmed to only work with the ORCA system.
Is the Husky Card different from the standard ORCA Card?
Yes. Your Husky Card is not a standard ORCA card. In order to provide the convenience of a single-card to all campus services, UW decided to include the smart chip inside your Husky ID Card instead of issuing standard ORCA cards. The transit portion of your U-PASS uses the ORCA system to process payment for transit, but does not provide access to the full range of ORCA program features.
To purchase a standard ORCA Card and take advantage of the E-purse, card registration, autoload or other ORCA program features, please go to http://www.orcacard.com.
Can I put a hole in my card so I can attach it to a lanyard?
No. Punching a hole in the card may damage the smart chip or antenna. The [Husky Card Account & ID Center](https://hfs.uw.edu/Husky-Card-Services/Husky-Card/ID-Center-Locations) has merchandise available to allow for carrying your [Husky Card](https://hfs.uw.edu/Husky-Card-Services/Husky-Card) on a lanyard without damaging it.
The smart chip is like a small computer embedded inside your card. Do not bend, cut, squash, wash or otherwise damage your card.
Can I load a Washington State Ferries pass or PugetPass onto my Husky Card?
Yes, but we don't recommend it.
If you choose to add a pass onto your Husky Card and your card is lost, stolen, or damaged, neither the UW nor the ORCA agencies will replace those products. If you want to receive the benefits associated with ORCA card registration and/or the ability to replace ORCA products you've added if your card is lost, stolen, defective or damaged, please contact ORCA to purchase a standard ORCA Card: http://www.orcacard.com.
Can I load money into my Husky Card Account and use it for transit fare?
No. The Husky Card Debit Account cannot be used for transit services.
Can I load funds onto my ORCA E-Purse to use on the bus, train or ferry?
The E-Purse is not available on Husky Cards. To purchase a standard ORCA Card for E-purse usage, please go to http://www.orcacard.com.
Can I register my new Husky Card with the ORCA System?
No. For security purposes and confidentiality of travel data, Husky Cards cannot be registered within the ORCA system. The University of Washington made the decision to block card registration to protect your data.
Can I load a PugetPass or Washington State Ferries pass onto my card after I graduate or leave UW?
The smart chip with your Husky Card may be permanently deactivated after you leave the UW. Any pass on the card will be lost when the chip is deactivated and will not be replaced by UW or the ORCA agencies. You can load passes onto your Husky Card at your own risk, but it is not recommended. To purchase a standard ORCA Card, please go to http://www.orcacard.com.
My card is lost, stolen or damaged, where do I get a new one?
You must inform the Husky Card Office at once if you believe your Husky Card has been lost or stolen. The best way to report a lost or stolen Husky Card is through the Husky Card Online Office, where you can suspend activity on your Husky Card Account until the Husky Card is found or replaced. You may also contact the Husky Card Account & ID Center M-F 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. at 206-543-7222 or by firstname.lastname@example.com.
It is your responsibility to take care of your Husky Card. If your card is lost or damaged and you require a replacement, you will be charged a $20 replacement fee.
Your U-PASS will be transferred electronically when your new Husky Card is printed and will be available for use 24 to 48 hours after card replacement.
If my Husky Card is lost, stolen or damaged, how will I replace my U-PASS?
Your U-PASS will be transferred electronically from your old Husky Card to your new Husky Card. Your U-PASS will not be available for use until 24 to 48 hours after the issuance of the replacement card.
Who do I contact if my new U-PASS powered by ORCA does not work on the bus/train?
Contact Transportation Services if your U-PASS is not working on the bus or train. You can email Transportation Services or call 206-221-3701.
Technology and data security
Can I receive a Husky Card without a smart chip or can my smart chip be disabled if I am not a U-PASS participant?
No. The University endorses the use of RFID smart chips on campus and inclusion of RFID smart chips within the Husky Card. The University is unable to disable the smart chip or issue Husky Cards without the smart chip.
What personal information is stored on the smart chip?
No personal information or UW data is stored on the smart chip. Data on the smart chip indicates if you have an active U-PASS powered by ORCA or not, and to process transit transactions.
Can someone else easily read the smart chip in my card?
The smart chip is a passive, short-range RFID chip that can only be read at short distances. For more information about what can be read from the chip, click here to view the ORCA Privacy Statement.
Where is my travel data stored?
Travel data is stored in the ORCA databases controlled by the transit agencies. This data is used for billing purposes and does not include personally identifiable information. Information about your most recent transit trips is also included on the smart chip in order to support transfer functions and fare apportionment amongst participating transit agencies. For more information, click here to view the ORCA Privacy Statement.
Will UW be tracking where I use my U-PASS?
No. Transportation Services will be the only office with information on who has a valid U-PASS and will keep this information private in accordance with the UW privacy policy, UW Electronic Information Privacy Policy on Personally Identifiable Information. Transportation Services does not have access to your personally identifiable travel data.
Canceling a U-PASS membership
Students: Will my U-PASS be deactivated if I withdraw from the UW?
Yes. Your U-PASS will be deactivated and you may be eligible for a U-PASS fee credit on your student account when you withdraw. For most students who are part of U-PASS:
- If you withdraw between the 1st and 7th day of the quarter, you will receive a 100 percent U-PASS fee credit on your student account.
- If you withdraw between the 8th and 30th day of the quarter, you will receive a 50 percent U-PASS fee credit on your student account. You will be responsible for paying the outstanding fee.
- If you withdraw on or after the 31st day of the quarter, you will not receive any U-PASS fee credit. You will be responsible for paying the outstanding fee.
Employees: How can I return my U-PASS?
If you leave UW employment, your U-PASS will be turned off after two missed payroll deductions. You will be fiscally responsible for the cost of your U-PASS until it is deactivated.
If you no longer want your U-PASS, you may cancel it at any time. Visit the Transportation Services office in person to sign a stop payroll slip or email email@example.com to request cancellation. The email must include your name and employee ID number. You are responsible for the cost of the annual U-PASS if you fail to cancel it. Once you deactivate your U-PASS, you can reactivate it at any time, but will need to visit Transportation Services to do so.
Employees: Will my U-PASS be deactivated if I miss a payroll deduction?
If you pay your U-PASS fees through payroll deduction and have insufficient funds to pay that fee for two consecutive payroll deductions, your U-PASS will be deactivated. You will need to bring your account out of arrears before your U-PASS can be reactivated.
Faculty and staff on nine month contract can keep their U-PASS active during the summer quarter.
Student Universal U-PASS program
What is universal student U-PASS?
Universal student U-PASS refers to a comprehensive transportation benefit program that all eligible UW Seattle students pay for and benefit from. All students who pay the Services and Activities Fee (SAF) will be U-PASS members and will be required to pay the U-PASS fee.
How do I know whether I am in the universal U-PASS population or not?
Students who pay the Services & Activities Fee (SAF) will be U-PASS members and will be required to pay the U-PASS fee.
What is the basis for this fee?
The establishment of this fee was approved by a majority vote of the student senates in ASUW Resolution R-17-2 and GPSS Resolution 10.27-11. Collection of this new fee is pursuant to RCW 28B.15.610. RCW 28B.15.610 is the authorizing statute used by Washington State University and Western Washington University students to authorize a student fee for their transit pass programs.
I drive alone to campus every day/walk to campus/bicycle to campus, what benefit do I receive from the U-PASS program?
In addition to the option to ride transit on any day at any time, U-PASS members are eligible for discounts and special offers from transportation-related merchants. U-PASS funds also pay for the NightRide shuttle, providing a safe ride home for walkers and cyclists who find themselves on campus after dark. Recognizing that sometimes people just need a ride, U-PASS members also enjoy discounted membership on Zipcar and Pronto! Cycle Share memberships, as well as discounted carpool parking on campus.
I do not ride the bus or use any of the features of the U-PASS program, so how can the university charge me a fee for something I will not use?
The U-PASS fee is similar to other compulsory fees attached to enrollment. Tuition components include the Student Technology Fee for improvement of technology on campus and the IMA bond fee that covers the expansion of the Intramural Activities building. Many students may not use the computers on campus or use the IMA — some may not even take classes on campus. These fees may not benefit those students individually but they benefit the university community and the student body as a whole.
I am not eligible for universal U-PASS program benefits – can I still buy a U-PASS?
Yes. You can buy a U-PASS through Transportation Services, or if you are a PCE student, you may do so through PCE. You will pay a $150 quarterly fee for the U-PASS, as the $80 quarterly fee ($84 beginning Fall 2016) is established for the Universal U-PASS program only.
I am a student during the academic year but am not registered for classes during the summer. Can I buy a summer U-PASS?
You are not eligible to purchase a student U-PASS if you are not registered for classes during summer quarter. However, if you are working as a temporary, hourly UW employee on campus, you may instead be eligible for a TEMP Pass.
I am a UW employee who is also a student paying the SAF and included within the universal U-PASS population. What should I do?
If you are included within the universal U-PASS population, contact Transportation Services to cancel your employee U-PASS. Note that the universal U-PASS will not work on employee Husky ID cards. You will need to visit the Husky Card Office to obtain a student Husky Card to use your universal U-PASS.
The quarterly cost of the Universal student U-PASS is $80 ($84 beginning Fall 2016) vs. $150 per quarter for staff and faculty. The benefits under Universal U-PASS differ from the faculty staff U-PASS in several ways, including the addition of the emergency ride home available through the faculty/staff U-PASS.
I am a UW PCE student included within universal U-PASS program. Why am I getting two bills, one for tuition and another for the U-PASS fee?
Students taking courses through the University of Washington Professional and Continuing Education (UW PCE) will receive two bills—one from UW PCE for tuition and other fees, and another from Student Fiscal Services for the U-PASS fee. UW Transportation Services is exploring opportunities to streamline this process in the long term and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility in the short term.
My employer will pay for my tuition, including other fees, but will not pay for the U-PASS fee.
The U-PASS fee is one of many mandatory fees associated with tuition for UW students. In addition to the U-PASS, students pay Building, Operating, Services and Activities, Technology and IMA Building fees. Because these fees are mandatory, they are automatically programmed onto to the tuition statement, and financial aid or scholarships should apply to the U-PASS fee just like the other fees. If your employer provides you with tuition funds, and will not cover the U-PASS fee, you can present them with this letter here explaining the mandatory nature of the fee.
I'm a Husky Promise student. Is the U-PASS fee covered by Husky Promise?
Yes, for eligible Husky Promise students, grant aid will be sufficient to pay for tuition and standard mandatory fees, including U-PASS.

Limits on Knowing
I'm having discussions of these two topics often enough these days that it may be easier to say something generally.
I'd like to assert that, in an imperfect world, there are limits on knowing and sharing.
I remember one lesson I got on this. When I began to sit on refugee claims for the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, it took no time to see that I was being asked to make sometimes life-and-death decisions for people without knowing the truth.
Oftentimes refugee claimants had a high investment in keeping the whole truth or part of it from me because they needed to fit into a category of a statute and, if the whole truth were known, they might not.
Sometimes I was sitting in front of an illiterate farmer, at other times in front of someone from a radically-different albeit urban culture. Sometimes the truth was being presented to me and I could not see it. Oftentimes my western bias got in the way.
Madam, why do you not look me in the face when you speak to me? You're obviously lying. No, she's just following the way of her culture where women get beaten if they look men directly in the face and take issue with them.
Sir, why do you not know information which it is second-nature to know in a western country? You're obviously withholding information. No, he just comes from an agrarian society that doesn't mark time as we do or have computers, the Internet, an office, etc.
I thought to myself that government did not lie. It never occurred to me at the time that the very government documents I relied on to know the "truth" might be fabricated. The premier source on international human rights was what we called the DOS Reports – the Department of State Country Reports on Human-Rights Practices. I did not know at the time that a government could intentionally kill 10,000 of its own citizens (9/11), start illegal wars against other countries (Iraq, Afghanistan), deprive its own citizens of their constitutional rights, or run drugs and sex-slavery rings, etc. I did not know about reptilians, extraterrestrials, and Illuminati. I did not know about a corrupted Congress or religion that served ideology.
Had I known, the first thing I would have done would have been to question the evidence of the supposedly-neutral DOS and British Home Office Reports, etc.
No, I had to make decisions not knowing the truth. I had to accept, as a basis for decision-making, various degrees of possibility, probability, and plausibility.
Likewise we here often do not know the truth of something. The Illuminati and the New World Order keep us like mushrooms, in the dark and fed manure. Many sources of information don't know what's true. Other lightworkers cannot state the whole truth or they would put lives in jeopardy. They must hold some information back from us.
If we move beyond these bounds and enter into the truth of life, we're faced with the fact that all truth is relative save the Truth of the Formless, Transcendental, Absolute One.
Truth at any other dimension or density than the Formless is relative to that dimension and may not be truth at a higher or lower level at all. All truth other than the Truth of the Formless has a domain of applicability and inapplicability.
I acknowledge that these limits on truth can be frustrating but that doesn't make them less real.
I ask certain things of myself in light of this situation and I make certain demands on others. Of myself I ask that I state the status of my knowledge to you: am I guessing? Do I know? Am I sensing, feeling, intuiting, repeating what I've heard? I tell you the status of my allegations.
I cannot make others state the status of their knowledge so I subject their evidence to credibility tests. I discover whether what they say is plausible, probable, possible, etc. I look for contradictions and omissions in their testimony. I look for biases, investments, competing agendas, etc. I assess the reliability of their sources.
That testimony that holds up to scrutiny I regard as credible and the speaker as reliable, until I learn otherwise. I then prefer testimony from that source to testimony from another less credible or reliable.
So, generally, I prefer testimony from Matthew, SaLuSa and Hatonn than testimony, say, from others whom I won't name but whom you've asked me about recently. Matthew, SaLuSa and Hatonn have a good track record with me. They correct their errors. They state the status of their knowledge. They tell me when they omit something or won't discuss it, etc.
Other limits on knowing, and perhaps sharing as well, are limits on time, energy, resources, etc. Poor David Wilcock doesn't have infinite time. He can't consult all sources. I personally don't have limitless energy; I do what I can; I would fall over if I tried to do all that's asked of me. And lots of people don't have limitless wealth to afford all options.
All of us are restricted in the amount we can do. If we expect all things from all people, we're just setting ourselves up for disappointment.
Especially in the volunteer world of the Internet, no one owes anyone anything. David Wilcock isn't obliged to study, know or speak on all things. Give him a break. He studies and speaks on what interests him. Why require him to do otherwise? And so with all of us.
We are none of us exempted from the need for discernment. We are none of us required to be all things to all people.
That's what I needed to say about the limits on knowing.
Limits on Sharing
Now the limits on sharing. No, I don't share everything or allow everything to be shared on this site. I don't share every article I come across because you wouldn't like to read that much. I think you look to me to sift out the truly important from the fluff.
You surely know that I get twenty to thirty comments a day on sex, member extension, viagra, dating services, website hosting, etc. I have a spam filter and some of your comments find their way into it. Most I see and rescue, although not necessarily right away. Some I never see. Akismet takes them home ot its lair and feeds on them. If it were not so, you'd have to wade through numerous comments on viagra and worse.
These are logistical arrangements made to conserve time, not something nefarious. I'm not an agent of disinformation for the New World Order or anyone's lackey. I'm not trying to hide the truth from you or prevent you from speaking yours, apart from the limits I discuss here.
This site is about certain topics and not about others. And I have certain areas of knowledge and certain areas where I lack knowledge. For instance, the site is not about medical information and I have no medical knowledge. It is, as an example, about UFO/ET disclosure and I have some "knowledge" in that area.
I don't share a matter which is wildly speculative and promotes fear. When I regard some area as established, such as no nuclear war on the planet or the galactics disclosing their presence at the right time, I don't require myself to make the case time after time as if nothing can be a settled question. I regard the prohibition against nuclear war and the coming of disclosure as settled questions.
I don't allow various kinds of comments on the site. If one reader attacks another, I won't post the comment. I'll remove a thread that has become mired in attack. My human rights end where they tread on yours. Furthermore, I know that nothing else will sap my energy quicker than seeing a fight break out on the site. So I don't allow attacks or fights.
I don't allow foul language. There are other ways to put an issue. There is no future in foul language. Life is about evolving and the use of foul language is devolution. I'm not going there if I can help it.
This isn't a site that's provided for people to debunk galactics, spaceships, Obama, NESARA, etc. This is a corner of the world where people can come who want to explore those themes unmolested. If you think that all galactics and channels are bunkum, that the Galactic Federation is a bunch of shape-shifting evil aliens out to enslave you, you'd probably enjoy yourself more elsewhere.
This is a safe space for those who hold that the Galactic Federation and its allies above, on and below the Earth are here to assist us to escape slavery and bring us to Ascension in the Fifth Dimension.
Many if not most people on this site have lost friends, family, and associates because they were regarded as loony, unsound, gullible, etc. We need a safe haven to shelter from the storm. So if you think what we say is loony, please, help us out by going somewhere else. Please don't suggest to me that you should have freedom of speech to tear us apart. Your freedom of speech stops where you attack us.
I've been on discussion groups where things were a free-for-all and people occupied themselves with attacking others. Nothing much got accomplished there and the most intelligent people left. We're here to prepare for leadership roles in the New Age fast approaching. Whenever a person prepares for a role, certain lines of conduct are preferred and certain lines are abandoned. That's what "preparation" means.
I've also been in groups where people have been doing the equivalent of preening in front of a mirror. This is their group and they're going to post as often as they wish, on whatever they wish, and, if any protest is made, they retreat behind allegations of censorship and a lack of interest in the truth.
As I've said a few times, truth has to be tempered with harmlessness; expression has to be a co-operative process giving everyone a turn; etc. We need to get along here or there won't be a site after a while. If we move from "doing it and digging it" to "doing it and not digging it," it's only a question of time before we're gone.
We won't make much of a leader in the New Age if our language is foul and we're into attack. There's a new paradigm coming and letting it all hang out isn't a part of it if it turns others off or violates their rights.
Repression and suppression are also not part of the new paradigm. The middle ground is where we'll probably be hanging out. Neither leaning too far to the right nor to the left, but being, observing and expressing from the center.
So hopefully that answers some questions about the limits on knowing and sharing here. You may also wish to read "A Comment on Comments" and "Reminder on Comments."
There are limits until, as I understand it, we no longer need them because we observe the laws of nature and have learned to be harmless and compassionate. A feature of human life in the Third Dimension is duality, separativeness and often competitiveness and aggression. Limits keep us from enslaving and annihilating each other, which is something that we humans do, as I'm sure you know.
Here we learn about those natural laws and ways of being that lead us to a satisfying and fulfilling future. We have a wonderful opportunity ahead of us and not everyone will take advantage of it. But my self-chosen task is to see that you have ample knowledge to take advantage of it. Past that, the initiative lies with you.

(Mattoon, IL) — The lights are going out, figuratively and literally, at the GE plant in Mattoon. The company is closing the plant that has made lights, light bulbs, and lamp components for the past 71 years today. GE says almost all of the 133 workers at the plant will lose their jobs, though a few crew members will stay on the clean and break down machines for other uses. Workers learned about the closing last October.

text: Share: Comments Print June 20, 2014 at 12:14 PM Mariners minor league report, June 20 — Peterson blasts his 16th homer Posted by Ryan Divish Quick note: I'm letting Jayson Jenks go home to Kansas City to cover the second part of the road trip. I will miss the barbecue in KC, my gallbladder not so much. So take it easy on him … he looks like he's 10. Several teams began the second half of their season last night. Rookie League Pulaski also opened its season. No word on the Alex Jackson signing yet. I'm guessing they will have an announcement during the Red Sox series in Seattle. Class AAA Tacoma Taijuan Walker struggled, giving up seven runs (six earned) on seven hits, including two homers, with a walk and four strikeouts as the Rainiers lost 8-7 in a 14-inning extravaganza. Jesus Sucre had three hits, including a homer (video)in the loss. The game took 4 hours and 33 minutes. Here's Mike Curto's daily blog post. Class AA Jackson The Generals opened the second half of the Southern League season with a 9-4 loss to the Mississippi Braves. Starter Tyler Olson worked four hitless innings, but the start fell apart in the fifth. Ketel Marte had three hits in the loss. Jamal Austin kept his 16 game hitting streak alive. From the report: Austin currently has a 16-game hit steak, batting .393 (24×61) with 13 runs scored, 5 doubles, 2 triples, 5 RBI and 5 stolen bases. Marte has hit safely in 19 of his last 20 games, batting .341 (28×82) with 14 runs scored, 5 doubles, 1 triple, 12 RBI, 1 walk and 4 stolen base. I Class A High Desert The Mavs opened the second half of the Cal League season with a 7-5 loss. DJ Peterson and Gabriel Guerrero did hit back-to-back homers in the loss. From the report: Peterson, who also had a double last night, has hit 14 of his 16 home runs this season in his last 33 games (since 5/11). Peterson has hit safely 16 of his last 18 games, batting .421 (32×76) with 18 runs scored, 10 doubles, 7 home runs, 28 RBI, 8 walks and 2 stolen bases. Since May 8, he is batting .355 (54×152) with 32 runs scored, 16 doubles, 14 home runs, 50 RBI, 14 walks and 4 stolen bases. During this stretch he has raised his season batting average from .267 to .319. Several people have asked when Peterson might get bumped to Jackson. I think his somewhat drastic home/road splits might be a minor concern (below). Also he's committed 14 errors, still I expect him to be in Jackson by the end of the month. Class A Clinton The LumberKings game was postponed by rain. Short A Everett The Aqua Sox lost their sixth game in a row, falling 2-1 to Tri-Cities. Phillips Castillo hit a homer for Everett's only run. He also added two more hits. Rookie League Pulaski The Mariners picked up a dramatic win in their season opener. Yordi Calderon hit a walk off solo home run in the bottom of the 12th for an 8-7 win. Shortstop Nelson Ward went 4-for-5 with a grand slam, a double and 5 RBIs.

Mansome = Must See
"You can't let the mustache break you. You've got to wear the mustache!"
IF there is a summer flick I am watching - it's Mansome. Already out in select theaters, this documentary explores a man's identity in the 21st century. "From America's greatest beardsman, to Morgan Spurlock's own mustache, executive producers Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Ben Silverman along with models, actors, experts, and comedians weigh in on what it is to be a man in a world where the definition of masculinity has become as diverse as a hipster's facial hair in Williamsburg. The hilarious follicles of men's idiosyncratic grooming habits are thoroughly combed over as men finally take a long hard look in the mirror."
In the age of manscaping, metrosexuals, and grooming products galore - what does it mean to be a man? My answer - sweet facial hair. Maybe I am wrong.... maybe I am right. To each their own. Let's watch the film.

From the back page of the book
Information gathered from a raid on a drug smuggling waystation near the village of Ashkashem has led Great Britain's Secret Intelligence Service to investigate an abandoned vehicle repair facility near the town of Qalashar along Albenistan's border with Afghanistan. It seems the abandoned facility is abandoned no more. Someone has occupied the base, but for what purpose? Worse, a letter recovered in the Ashkashem raid refers to a device or weapon that will 'strike fear in the hearts of the enemy and destroy their feeble resolve.' What kind of device could be hiding at the Qalashar facility? Fear of what this weapon might be and how it could be used has lead the SIS to reactivate the Increment unit that successfully completed the raid on Ashkasham. Their mission: discover who has occupied the Qalashar facility and neutralize any threat that might be posed by the Qalashar Device.
The Qalashar Device is an adventure for 4 to 6 character of levels 9 to 11 using the D20 Modern Roleplaying Game. This supplement can be used as a stand-alone adventure as as an introduction to the Albenistan Series. The Albenistan series consists of 3 adventure supplements from SEP Spec Ops line. The Qalashar Device was preceded by Raid on Ashkashem and will be followed by The Khorforjan Gambit.
Along with the adventure this supplement includes extensive write-ups for 4 "named" villains with histories, 2 SAS operators and sundry minor villains, statistics for 8 vehicles and 6 new heavy weapons as well as the Special Operations Marksman prestige class, information on the fictional country of Albenistan, 4 new or updated feats and entries on 3 organizations.

text: I am setting up an old Performa 6320CD computer for my aunt who has never used a computer before in her life. She will probably only be using it for internet, word processing, and hopefully to text chat at least with my brother in Taiwan. I want to set the computer up for her without spending any funds but am wondering what the best method would be. I have the 7.5.3 restore disc that came with the machine, as well as the few other discs that it came with. What software should I install for her and where can I get it? Thanks tremendously for the all the help. The computer's specs are: 120Mhz 603 PowerPC 64MB of RAM 1.2GB internal HD Complete specs can be found here. PS I remember seeing on the Apple website awhile back where you could download some old Apple legacy software for free and I think that a thread on the boards here even talked about it once. However, both searches were futile I don't remember exactly what software they had or if any of it would be useful.

Müller Photo ISO 2003 2 Share Tweet
A color film for only € 0.73 (US$ 1) per roll?! If you are looking for a cheap color film, then you should look in on Müller.
For 2,95 € (4,12 US-Dollar) you get four rolls (36 images) of the store brand.
This is probably a Fuji Superia. I usually use ISO 200 if I do not know how much light I have, there are 200 mostly a good compromise. A solid film in everyday life with a good exposure latitude.
The colors could sometimes be a little stronger.
But this need not always be a disadvantage.
With the good price you can also experiment without having to worry as to how much money you're wasting.
Here are some photos:
So runs fast in the next Müller market and grab the film!
At that price you can not go wrong eventually.

Students can now save themselves from running into any trouble when it comes to writing an essay on their own. The availability of so many writing services has made it a tad easier for them to get their essays written professionally. The only issue is that finding the best essay service is not that easy – every writing company claims to have the best writers and outstanding prices, so it's quite confusing to make a decision. In order to get the best essays written professionally and delivered on time, you need to take a number of steps.
Check the Website Design
The quality of the website of a writing service will go a long way in explaining the quality of work they produce for their customers. You need to pay attention to the web design and see if it is professional enough or not. The next thing is to read their website content and see if they explain the benefits, guarantees, and other things in the right way or not. The best essay services online will always have their website content written flawlessly – no grammatical, stylistic, or structural errors. If you can spot an error in their website content, your teacher will definitely find errors in your essays.
You need to check what they charge you for different types of papers. They need to have a flexible pricing policy and charge you less if your deadline is a bit relaxed. Don't forget to check the availability of certain discounts, as this will help you save a lot of money in the end.
Contact Support
It is important to check if the prices are on the lower side or not, but you should not base your decision on prices alone. Some unscrupulous writing companies will try to deceive you with incredibly low prices, but they will never deliver the best quality work. Here, you should check their prices in relation to how good their customer support is. You will fail to receive maximum satisfaction unless you get a chance to connect with a support representative 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Refund Policy and Guarantees
Even if you think the prices are low, discounts are good, and support team looks responsive, you should still take time to check their guarantees if you want to get the best essay. They should at least be offering a plagiarism-free guarantee, free revisions guarantee, and a money-back guarantee. Never make a decision unless you know everything about their refund policy, or else you will have to live with low quality content.
Read Reviews
To save your time and to get an idea of how a writing service performs in the real world, you should consider reading a few reviews. An in-depth essay services review will always help you learn quickly about their quality, support service, prices, discounts, guarantees, and refund policy. The only thing you should bear in mind is that not all review websites will offer unbiased and detailed reviews; therefore, you need to opt for the one where they compare several services and offer a review after using that particular service.

Usually musicals are not my thing, but Baz Lurhmann's "Moulin Rouge" is the exception to the rule. For two reasons. The first one being the music and the second, Ewan McGregor! I've been a great admirer ever since "Trainspotting" and I love his Long Way Round/Down series. But let's face it, any guy who travels around the world on a motor bike with his best friend promoting Unicef along the way, is going to score major points with me. And he can sing too!
Here's "El Tango de Roxanne", a brilliant mix of the Police's "Roxanne" and Maestro Mariano Mores's "Tanguera". I much prefer the album to the movie version, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find a good clip with it.

BioFresh is a very active project, you can find us on different congresses and meetings around the world and also on different plattforms in the internet to spread the word about our project and our topics. Download our press kit and have a look on our other internet acitivties, specially the BioFresh blog and the Cabinet of Freshwater Curiosities, which attracts 1500-2000 readers per month.
BioFresh is active on different plattforms in the internet to spread the word about our project and our topics.
Read the latest backround information from the project and more.
Much of BioFresh's science has important implications for policy-makers, whether in terms of conservation priorities such as identifying the most effective protected area network or properly valuing freshwater ecosystems. In this section, you will find a selection of concise policy briefs that summarise the findings of key BioFresh science papers, outline the implications for policy, and provide recommendations. The BioFresh policy briefs are designed to give policy-makers the information about freshwater biodiversity needed to make informed decisions.
The latest News from inside and around. If you have an interessting story, paper, or weblink, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The 4th annual BioFresh meeting is just around the corner! The focus of this year's meeting will be on the interface between science and policy and making freshwater biodiversity science more politically influential.
The fourth annual meeting of the BioFresh project will be held next week from April 15-19 in the trendy Germany city of Leipzig. The slogan of this year's meeting is "BioFresh goes political", which captures the focus of linking BioFresh science with policy and conservation outcomes. The meeting is a chance for members from our 19 partner organisations of the BioFresh team to get together and assess the progress of the previous 3 years and discuss plans for the final phase of the BioFresh project.
New DAET maps available. The BioFresh contingency fund serves as additional support for non-partner organisations to adapt, complete and submit databases that are of interest for BioFresh.
NATURE paper: Cryptic biodiversity loss linked to global climate change
Climate impacts on biodiversity are usually assessed at the morphospecies level with effects at the genetic level less well studied. Now research into the distribution and mitochondrial DNA variability of nine mountain-dwelling insect species shows that range contractions will be accompanied by severe loss of genetic diversity as the climate warms, implying that conventional assessments may underestimate losses.

Scientists and photographers joined their efforts to publish a large-format illustrated book in the CEMEX conservation book series on "Freshwater: The Essence of Life". The book was coordinated by Conservation International and involved scientists from all over the world, including many BioFresh partners. They contributed to the different chapters drawing a picture of the amazing richness of freshwater ecosystems, and raising awareness on why Earth's freshwater supplies and systems are in peril. These ecosystems have proved resilient throughout millennia, but in the last few decades, human activities have drastically modified and destroyed them to the point of alarm. The book was launched on December 6th in Cancun at the UNFCCC COP 16.

We're delighted to present a short animation produced by Paul Jepson and colleagues at Oxford University which outlines BioFresh's work in helping improve the protection and management of global freshwater ecosystems.
"Water Lives…" is a new science communication animation designed to draw attention to the important (yet largely invisible) biodiversity which underpins and sustains our freshwater ecosystems. Produced by Rob St.John and Paul Jepson at the School of Geography and the Environment for BioFresh the animation brings artists and scientists together to collaborate and communicate the concept the idea that freshwater is more than an inert resource: instead a living, dynamic system inhabited by beautiful, important organisms largely unseen by the naked eye. "Water Lives…" invites viewers to engage with their freshwater environments, perhaps value them in new ways and engage with how they should be managed [...]

Danube's most valuable and best preserved floodplain system along its entire 2,850 kilometers length is threatened with destruction: the "Kopački Rit" in Croatia. A major project to regulate this unique region is currently in the final stage of decision. If the project becomes reality, the natural Danube will be transformed into a monotonous canal, with fatal consequences for its wildlife: The white-tailed eagle, the black stork and the Danube sturgeon would be in severe danger of extinction.

On March 2-4, I had the honor of chairing the 15th Annual Alumni of Color Conference (AOCC) with the theme Define. Defy. Dismantle: Forging Our Legacy Through Activism. It was hands down the most rewarding experience for me as a student at HGSE. Five months of planning came together for a weekend filled with social activism. We had over 700 registered participants which consisted of students, faculty, staff, alumni, youth, scholars, and citizens from across the country. We had 7 keynote speakers, a special guest, and about 45 workshops over the course of six breakout sessions.
As a Tri-Chair, I was tasked with turning an idea into a full 3 day conference. Before this year, the largest event I planned was a male scholarship pageant through my sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.) in undergrad. I had never planned a conference before and was honestly unaware of all it would take to successfully execute this conference. I quickly found out the amount of work, dedication, and sacrifice it would take and I am truly appreciative of the phenomenal leadership team that helped make this conference possible.
On Thursday, March 2, Dr. Peter T. Keo provided a kickoff for the conference. He gave a speech that energized participants and excited the crowd about what was to come over the course of the weekend. Many participants commented on the appreciation of hearing a man of Asian descent speak about dismantling racism from a perspective that is often not highlighted.
Friday, there were three breakout sessions and an Askwith Forum. The Askwith forum titled "Take Action: Advancing Justice and Equity in Today's Climate" was composed of keynote speakers Dr. Arshad I. Ali, Ed.M.'04, Assemblyman Michael A. Blake, Albino Garcia, Jr., and Simran Noor with Christina "V" Villarreal, Ed.M.'05 moderating the panel. We also gave the Courage Award to the Denver Broncos' linebacker Brandon Marshall for having the strength to fight for justice in regards to police brutality.
For a full video of the Askwith Forum, check out the live video on the Harvard Graduate School of Education's Facebook page from March 3rd. Also, check out this article I am featured in about the conference and specifically the Askwith Forum.
On Saturday, we had three more breakout sessions, a conversation with Brandon Marshall, granted three awards, and welcomed two additional keynote speakers: Dr. Rhonda Williams and Dr. Bettina Love. All of the speakers were phenomenal. Dr. Williams used spoken word to defy systems of oppression and Dr. Love discussed her curriculum on hip-hop education and fired up the crowd as she provided ways to dismantle oppression in education. I am beyond proud of the final product of AOCC 2017. It will be my greatest memory and experience at HGSE.
I would love to help recruit the next Master's Tri-Chair for AOCC 2018! I can give you the ins and outs of the planning process. I had to make sacrifices and give up a lot of free time because of this conference, but it was the BEST decision I made as a student here at HGSE.
Rashaida Melvin is a Master's of Education candidate in the School Leadership Program. She has taught for three years and is excited about moving from the classroom into leadership. Rashaida is looking forward to serving both teachers and students in the future.

The Privacy Policy applies to the management of personal information in any form whether oral, electronic or written. The Privacy Policy does not impose any limits on the collection, use or disclosure of the following information by the TekSavvy Companies:
(ii) the name, title or business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization.
The application of the Privacy Policy is subject to the requirements or provisions of any applicable legislation, regulations, tariffs or agreements, or the order or determination of any court or other lawful authority, including any applicable regulations, orders or determinations of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
The TekSavvy Companies are responsible for all personal information under their control and shall designate one or more persons who are accountable for compliance with the following principles.
a) implementing procedures to protect personal information and to oversee the TekSavvy Companies' compliance with the Privacy Policy;
b) establishing procedures to receive and respond to inquiries or complaints;
c) training and communicating to staff about the TekSavvy Companies' policies and practices; and
d) developing public information to explain the TekSavvy Companies' policies and practices.
The TekSavvy Companies shall identify the purposes for which personal information is collected at or before the time the information is collected.
a) To establish and maintain responsible commercial relations with customers and to provide ongoing service;
b) To understand customer needs;
c) To develop, enhance, market or provide products and services;
e) To meet legal and regulatory requirements.
2.3 Unless required by law, the TekSavvy Companies shall not use or disclose, for any new purpose, personal information that has been collected without first identifying and documenting the new purpose and obtaining the consent of the customer or employee.
The knowledge and consent of a customer or employee is required for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information, except where inappropriate.
3.4 The TekSavvy Companies will require customers to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information as a condition of the supply of a product or service only if such collection, use or disclosure is required to fulfill the identified purposes.
· For example, TekSavvy may collect customers' IP address, MAC address, and router settings from routers connected to TekSavvy's network for the purpose of providing ongoing service.

3.6 In general, the use of products and services by a customer, or the acceptance of employment or benefits by an employee, constitutes implied consent for the TekSavvy Companies to collect, use and disclose personal information for all identified purposes.

4.1 The TekSavvy Companies collect personal information primarily from their customers or employees.
5.1 We do not share personal information with anyone outside the TekSavvy Companies where we can avoid it, however circumstances when we have to do so.
· We limit how much information we disclose to third parties: With respect to third party requests for information, where we are required to disclose personal information we limit it to the information required in the circumstances, provide it only for the purpose stipulated, and make it subject to strict terms of confidentiality. When a court orders us to provide personal information, we tell you about it unless we have been ordered by law not to, and we follow up regularly to question whether non-disclosure orders ought to remain in force.
· We work to keep as much traffic within Canada as we can: With respect to Internet traffic, we place an emphasis on preferring in-country interconnection for domestic traffic. We peer openly with peers in Canada whose Autonomous Systems are mostly located within Canada and who provide geographically diverse peering within Canada. We peer conditionally with other peers. We maintain publicly-available information on our traffic routing at PeeringDB (AS5645).
5.2 In certain circumstances personal information can be collected, used or disclosed without the knowledge and consent of the individual. (See Principle 3.1)

d) an agent retained by the TekSavvy Companies in connection with the collection of the customer's account;
e) credit grantors and reporting agencies;
f) a person who, in the reasonable judgment of the TekSavvy Companies, is seeking the information as an agent of the customer; and
g) a third party or parties, where the customer consents to such disclosure or disclosure is required by law.

b) in the context of providing references regarding current or former employees in response to requests from prospective employers, to the extent that such references are granted at all; or
c) where disclosure is required by law.
5.5 Only those employees of the TekSavvy Companies who require access for business reasons, or whose duties reasonably so require, are granted access to personal information about customers and employees.
5.6 The TekSavvy Companies shall keep personal information only as long as it remains necessary or relevant for the identified purposes or as required by law. Depending on the circumstances, where personal information has been used to make a decision about a customer or employee, the TekSavvy Companies shall retain, for a period of time that is reasonably sufficient to allow for access by the customer or employee, either the actual information or the rationale for making the decision.
Personal information shall be as accurate, complete and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.
6.1 Personal information used by the TekSavvy Companies shall be sufficiently accurate, complete and up-to-date to minimize the possibility that inappropriate information may be used to make a decision about a customer or employee.
8.1 The TekSavvy Companies shall make information about their policies and practices easy to understand, including:
a) The title and address of the person or persons accountable for the TekSavvy Companies' compliance with the Privacy Policy and to whom inquiries or complaints can be forwarded;
b) The means of gaining access to personal information held by the TekSavvy Companies; and
c) A description of the type of personal information held by the TekSavvy Companies, including a general account of its use.
Principle 9 - Customer and Employee Access to Personal Information
The TekSavvy Companies shall inform a customer or employee of the existence, use and disclosure of his or her personal information upon request and shall give the individual access to that information. A customer or employee shall be able to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and to have it amended as appropriate.
9.2 In certain situations, the TekSavvy Companies may not be able to provide access to all of the personal information that they hold about a customer or employee. For example, the TekSavvy Companies may not provide access to information if doing so would likely reveal personal information about a third party or could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual. Also, the TekSavvy Companies may not provide access to information if disclosure would reveal confidential commercial information, if the information is protected by solicitor-client privilege, if the information was generated in the course of a formal dispute resolution process, or if the information was collected in relation to the investigation of a breach of an agreement or a contravention of a federal or provincial law. If access to personal information cannot be provided, the TekSavvy Companies shall provide the reasons for denying access upon request.
9.5 The TekSavvy Companies shall promptly correct or complete any personal information found to be inaccurate or incomplete. Any unresolved differences as to accuracy or completeness shall be noted in the individual's file. Where appropriate, the TekSavvy Companies shall transmit to third parties having access to the personal information in question any amended information or the existence of any unresolved differences.
9.6 A customer can obtain information or seek access to his or her individual file by contacting a designated representative at 1.877.779.1575 in English or 1.800.368.6909 in French, or by sending an email containing such a request in English or French to email@example.com.
A customer or employee shall be able to address a challenge concerning compliance with the above principles to the designated person or persons accountable for the TekSavvy Companies' compliance with the Privacy Policy.
10.3 The person or persons accountable for compliance with the Privacy Policy may seek external advice where appropriate before providing a final response to individual complaints.
For inquiries, complaints or more information please contact:
The TekSavvy Companies will continue to review the Privacy Policy on a regular basis and at least every five years to make sure it is relevant and remains current with changing technologies and laws and the evolving needs of the TekSavvy Companies, our customers and employees.

If you're not interested in buying a yet-to-be-produced, overhyped and probably imaginary $1,200 OLED keyboard, then perhaps I can interest you in an incredibly cheezy, possibly useless alternative. The Luxeed, from Luxiium Lighting & Technology, is a keyboard that can change the color of every single key, independently of each other. Each key can be tuned to one of "512 vibrant colors", and in that sense can become an independent pixel. You can then download color skins from the website, or create your own. The keys can even be set to dance along with music and the Korean company is marketing the product by trumpeting its chromatherapeutic benefits.
We just think it's sort of dumb, although there are bound to be the few and far between among you who'll find it adorable. For you, we should tell you that we didn't find any price information and if you're really bent of getting one, you'll have to trudge through a Korean website. So there.

I'm super excited about the recipes Alvina shared with me during my visit to her farm. The stained and tattered old notepad belonged to her mother, my great-grandmother. Contained on these now yellowed and brittle pages are her best recipes. I can hardly wait to go through them all. In fact, I'm so excited I've just got to share a few of them with you now. Here's a taste of what one might find in Great-Grandma Caroline's kitchen.
Her notepad contains handwritten recipes for everything from pies...
...to perpetual yeast (sourdough)...
Spots and splatters are indications of a well-used recipe.
What stories they must tell. Who is the Mrs. Thompson behind Mrs. Thompson's Raised Doughnuts?
What about Ruth or Mrs. Alton, whose brown sugar cookies appear on several pages? Are Mama's White Cookies my great-great grandmother's? How I would love to sit down at the kitchen table and hear the stories behind each recipe.
We'll dig more into each recipe in the coming weeks. Thanks for listening as I share my excitement!
