Dropping the iPod mini in favour of Apple's all-new iPod nano was like: "having a heart transplant right before the holiday", said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
With the iPod mini being Apple's biggest-selling iPod, the move put the company's leading digital-music cash cow at risk: "Anyone would think we were crazy," Jobs admitted.
"We launched the iPod nano two weeks ago rather than at the Apple Expo because in the run-up to Christmas every week counts. The launch had been planned for over a year," he confirmed.
Jobs on Bluetooth, radio iPods
Jobs also confronted demands from some quarters that Apple should deliver a Bluetooth- or radio-enabled iPod.
While many see adding a radio to an iPod as a useful extra feature, Apple's feedback is less vociferous than the noise generated by the company's critics, Jobs confirmed.
"We don't get a lot of customers asking for it", he said.
Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller pointed out that iPods now offer radio on demand: "Thanks to podcasting you can listen to radio shows whenever you want to," he said.
Jobs also warned of the challenge of offering extra features just for the sake of it, saying: "We are very careful about what features we add because we can't take them away."
The Bluetooth equation remains unsolved, it seems.
Calling it a "technology in search of a problem", Jobs said: "The easiest way to get music onto an iPod nano is to dock it (connect it directly to a computer)," he said.
It's about file sizes and the limited speed of Bluetooth technology.
"Frankly music is very big," he said. "We tend to forget how big it is," he added.
"With Bluetooth, songs take a while to download. And if you have Bluetooth headphones you have to charge them as well as the iPod. People don't want to do that. Also, the sound isn't good enough," he claimed.
Apple needs to keep its secrets secret
Apple has a reputation across all sections of the media of being almost Stalinist in its secrecy.
Its actions late last year of launching lawsuits against several prominent Mac rumour websites shows the seriousness with which it protects its secrets.
Jobs explained the company's motivation on not discussing future products:
"Microsoft is copying our operating system," he said, adding, "Dell is copying our hardware."
"They just have to follow our tail lights," he smiled.
Jobs also responded to a question which asked why Apple doesn't make iChat for Windows systems.
Taking a gentle jibe at Microsoft, he said: "Microsoft has to earn a living too".

For the last several weeks of my residency at the Family Literacy Center in Barre, VT, students have been exploring individual art projects. Many artists painted and drew, while others tried sculpture and photography.
|Artist painting a classmate's portrait, titled Sam, 2015, acrylic on canvas board.
|Painting a turtle for her daughter
|Painting a Transformer for her son- all those shades of yellow!
|Sketching a tree
|The beautifully lit space had perfect architecture to organize the work.
|Wherever possible, work was surrounded with a simple black mat.
|Student sketchbooks were on display as well.
|The artist at right, discussing her work with viewers.
This created a bit of a stir among some staff. The day before the show, the artist was asked to pull several images deemed too controversial to be part of the art exhibit. I haven't had many times in my life that I have had to discuss the censorship of art with staff and students, but this was an exceptional circumstance indeed. The student was told that close-ups of the skin were fine, but full- or even partial-body images were not.
|Macro lens skin photo. Apparently fine...
|Also, apparently fine...
The real kicker? The artist's self-portrait was "not fine."
|Self-portrait of the artist, apparently not fine.
Which was her Whole. Entire. Point.
That normal women don't always look the same after children. And that it's okay not to.
The morning of the art show, her teacher noticed this discrepancy- essentially, all of the images were the same, and featured the same scope of the body- and thankfully proceeded to print out almost all of the missing, censored photos.
|The grouping of her work on exhibit, collectively titled You Are Beautiful.
Because often, what a person will remember is what stands out- what challenges a person and makes him or her think. No surprise- the newspaper journalist interviewed the artist extensively about her work, while an assistant videoed the conversation. Because in the scope of sunsets, landscapes, and cute animals, this is the work that stood out: full of meaning and intention.

Use Android Hardware Decoder with OMXCodec in NDK
출처 : https://vec.io/posts/use-android-hardware-decoder-with-omxcodec-in-ndk
Android API dosen't expose interface to the device's hardware decoding module, but the OSdoes have a beautiful private library called stagefright, which encapsulates elegant hardware accelerated decoding & encoding API, which can be used accompanied with FFmpeg or GStreamer.
Don't fear the private API would change frequently suggested by many developers or Google's Android engineers, many famous apps tell us these APIs won't change hardly. The Adobe Flash player, VPlayer and Firefox for Android have been using the stagefright API to do hardware decoding for quite a long time.
To procceed in this post, you need to be familiar with the techinques menthioned in How to Render Image Buffer in Android NDK Native Code.
Android engineers use OpenMAX specification to communicate with different devices' hardware decoders, in order to simplify the OpenMAX procedure, they created the stagefright library.
To understand this library, the
MediaSource class is one of the most important keys.
MediaSource is declared in frameworks/av/include/media/stagefright/MediaSource.h. Simply put, a
MediaSourceshould provide one main method called
read, which should read some data from some data source and return the result to a
To fulfill a complete video decoding work, we need two different
MediaSource, one to read encoded video data from file, it's something like FFmpeg's demuxer, and the other one acts just like FFmpeg's decoder, which will read and decode the encoded data from the demuxer, then produce decoded video frames.
AVFormatSource, a very simple
MediaSource implementation based on FFmpeg's
libavformat, is the first
MediaSource, which works as the demuxer.
It's the plenty of powerful demuxers why I use
libavformat to create a fresh new
MediaSource rather than using the existing ones in AOSP.
#define FFMPEG_AVFORMAT_MOV "mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2"
using namespace android;
class AVFormatSource : public MediaSource {
AVFormatSource(const char *videoPath);
virtual status_t read(MediaBuffer **buffer, const MediaSource::ReadOptions *options);
virtual sp<MetaData> getFormat() { return mFormat; }
virtual status_t start(MetaData *params) { return OK; }
virtual status_t stop() { return OK; }
virtual ~AVFormatSource();
AVFormatContext *mDataSource;
AVCodecContext *mVideoTrack;
AVBitStreamFilterContext *mConverter;
MediaBufferGroup mGroup;
sp<MetaData> mFormat;
int mVideoIndex;
AVFormatSource::AVFormatSource(const char *videoPath) {
mDataSource = avformat_alloc_context();
avformat_open_input(&mDataSource, videoPath, NULL, NULL);
for (int i = 0; i < mDataSource->nb_streams; i++) {
if (mDataSource->streams[i]->codec->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO) {
mVideoIndex = i;
mVideoTrack = mDataSource->streams[mVideoIndex]->codec;
size_t bufferSize = (mVideoTrack->width * mVideoTrack->height * 3) / 2;
mGroup.add_buffer(new MediaBuffer(bufferSize));
mFormat = new MetaData;
switch (mVideoTrack->codec_id) {
case CODEC_ID_H264:
mConverter = av_bitstream_filter_init("h264_mp4toannexb");
mFormat->setCString(kKeyMIMEType, MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC);
if (mVideoTrack->extradata[0] == 1) {
mFormat->setData(kKeyAVCC, kTypeAVCC, mVideoTrack->extradata, mVideoTrack->extradata_size);
case CODEC_ID_MPEG4:
mFormat->setCString(kKeyMIMEType, MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_MPEG4);
if (mDataSource->iformat && mDataSource->iformat->name && !strcasecmp(mDataSource->iformat->name, FFMPEG_AVFORMAT_MOV)) {
MOVContext *mov = (MOVContext *)(mDataSource->priv_data);
if (mov->esds_data != NULL && mov->esds_size > 0 && mov->esds_size < 256) {
mFormat->setData(kKeyESDS, kTypeESDS, mov->esds_data, mov->esds_size);
case CODEC_ID_H263:
mFormat->setCString(kKeyMIMEType, MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_H263);
mFormat->setInt32(kKeyWidth, mVideoTrack->width);
mFormat->setInt32(kKeyHeight, mVideoTrack->height);
status_t AVFormatSource::read(MediaBuffer **buffer, const MediaSource::ReadOptions *options) {
AVPacket packet;
status_t ret;
bool found = false;
while (!found) {
ret = av_read_frame(is->formatCtx, &packet);
if (ret < 0) {
return ERROR_END_OF_STREAM;
if (packet.stream_index == mVideoIndex) {
if (mConverter) {
av_bitstream_filter_filter(mConverter, mVideoTrack, NULL, &packet.data, &packet.size, packet.data, packet.size, packet.flags & AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY);
ret = mGroup.acquire_buffer(buffer);
if (ret == OK) {
memcpy((*buffer)->data(), packet.data, packet.size);
(*buffer)->set_range(0, packet.size);
(*buffer)->meta_data()->setInt32(kKeyIsSyncFrame, packet.flags & AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY);

found = true;
return ret;
AVFormatSource::~AVFormatSource() {
if (mConverter) {
I've omitted all the header includes and error checks to make code more clean and easy to read.
From the code above, I only try to decode H.263, H.264 and MPEG4, all other formats are not supported from Android's documentation officially, though some vendors support more formats such as WMV, FLV or RM.
Pay attention to the FFmpeg code I used, it's the patched version from VPlayer for Android, I've also written a simple post on building FFmpeg for Android.
The other
MediaSource is
OMXCodec, which do the actual decoding work.
You can locate the
OMXCodec.cpp at AOSP tree's frameworks/av/media/libstagefright/OMXCodec.cpp, and
OMXCodec.h at frameworks/av/include/media/stagefright/OMXCodec.h. Then you will find it's so easy to use the
OMXCodec class in our own NDK code, especially if you found some sample usage from libstagefright/AwesomePlayer.cpp.
// At first, get an ANativeWindow from somewhere
sp<ANativeWindow> mNativeWindow = getNativeWindowFromSurface();
// Initialize the AVFormatSource from a video file
sp<MediaSource> mVideoSource = new AVFormatSource(filePath);
// Once we get an MediaSource, we can encapsulate it with the OMXCodec now
OMXClient mClient;
sp<MediaSource> mVideoDecoder = OMXCodec::Create(mClient.interface(), mVideoSource->getFormat(), false, mVideoSource, NULL, 0, mNativeWindow);
// Just loop to read decoded frames from mVideoDecoder
for (;;) {
MediaBuffer *mVideoBuffer;
MediaSource::ReadOptions options;
status_t err = mVideoDecoder->read(&mVideoBuffer, &options);
if (err == OK) {
if (mVideoBuffer->range_length() > 0) {
// If video frame availabe, render it to mNativeWindow
sp<MetaData> metaData = mVideoBuffer->meta_data();
int64_t timeUs = 0;
metaData->findInt64(kKeyTime, &timeUs)
native_window_set_buffers_timestamp(mNativeWindow.get(), timeUs * 1000);
err = mNativeWindow->queueBuffer(mNativeWindow.get(), mVideoBuffer->graphicBuffer().get());
if (err == 0) {
metaData->setInt32(kKeyRendered, 1);
// Finally release the resources
I think you will figure that
OMXCodec is also a child class of
MediaSource, and it's constructed from another
MediaSource, which is
AVFormatSource in this example.
Indeed, if you take a look at
OMXCodec.cpp, you should notice its
read method is implemented in three main steps:
- Read encoded video data with
mVideoSource.readto a
MediaBuffer. The video data is just an
AVPacketin this FFmpeg sample.
- Pass the
MediaBufferto device's decoding module, which will do the actual decoding work.
- Return the decoded video frame as a
MediaBuffer, which we can render to screen.
It's a pain to deal with the product of so many Android devices, Android versions and video formats. As my experience, the chips from TI, Nvidia, QCom and other vendors all have slight differences to each other in using
OMXCodec. It's harder than deal with different cameras and different screen sizes, but it deserves if you want to play high quality videos with video format not supported by Android!
I'm not able to list all the problems appeared to me, but count some main fields where the problems most occur.
- Different color space used in the decoded frames, it's best to find those information from CyanogenMod's source code.
- The difference in managing MediaBuffer memory, mainly when releasing MediaBuffer.
- Some decoders require you to crop the decoded frames' dimensions.
- It's important to reorder the decoded frames' timestamps for some decoders, but not for the others.
This approach has been used in several open source projects listed below.
- The
libstagefright.cppin FFmpeg's source code is the most simple start point to understand the concepts. But look out, don't use it in production code, it's full of bugs.
- Firefox for Android added H.264 hardware decoding recently, the related code is available in $MOZILLA/content/media.
- VLC for Android is also capable of hardware decoding, but I haven't looked its code yet.
It's not an easy work to use hardware decoding in Android, but all these projects have proved that it's possible and nearly perfect.

As soon as her stool became "normal" again, we took that opportunity to switch her from Eukanuba to Purina Pro Plan Focus.

From the Bride... Because I throw parties as a profession, my wedding day was like my tour de force. People always tell you not to get lost in the details but I ignored them and put all my focus into the details.
I wanted the day to feel sacred & intimate so I asked guests to wear all white, head to toe. Even I didn't realize how ethereal it would look and it really set the tone so that the overall vibe was untouchable. It was as if we were all part of the ceremony. The actual ceremony took place in a circle made up of guests sitting on hay bales arranged in a circle with old linens thrown over them. It was incredibly intimate.
We had a few different DIY projects that we did Which Included bundled love letters. I color photocopied some love letters that my husband and I had written to each other in the last 5 years, cut them out in their original shapes & sizes and tied them together with ribbon. Each person had the stack of love letters waiting for them on their pillow when they arrived to read through before bed the night before the wedding. it was incredibly intimate but i thought a nice way of sharing our love with our loved ones.
Flower crowns: The day before the wedding all of the ladies came to my house and sat on blankets on the lawn and weaved flowers crowns together to wear at the wedding- so on the wedding day each woman had a flower crown of her own.
Wedding programs: I made the wedding program cards on the back of vintage wedding photograph postcards and my bridesmaids looked edwardian- even though we found all of their dresses in my mothers closet 2 nights before the wedding in an epic dress up session.
Downton Abbey: Because I wanted to use all of my mother's passed down family silver, antique china and old european linens, it ended up looking like an outdoor garden party in a scene from downton abbey. In the end I only rented the glassware and tables. I kept the color palate clean and only used white aside from splashes of pink because my dress was made of Czech linen with hand embroidered pink flowers on it so every now and then you'd have an accent of pink.

'Tales from the Crypt' (TV series: 1989 - 1995)
For the HBO shocker's sixth season finale, Zemeckis, one of the series' executive producers, came back to direct the episode "You, Murderer," which starred, of all people, Humphrey Bogart. The episode, which was shot entirely from a first-person perspective, integrated the long-deceased Bogart into occasional reflections. Alfred Hitchcock also made a cameo using digitally manipulated footage of the director.

In Vivo DNA Binding
Browse ChIP/chip Data
We are using formaldehyde crosslinking and either ChIP/chip or ChIP/seq to identify regions bound by transcription factors in Drosophila embryos. Our current data release contains ChIP/chip data on 21 of the 37 principal regulators of the early embryo network, Zeste, TFIIB and RNA polymerase II, see Browse ChIP/chip Data. All ChIP/chip data is for D. melanogaster. In addition, ChIP/seq data are available for 6 of the principal regulators in both D. melanogaster and D. Yakuba, see Browse ChIP/seq data.
These data are produced as follows. One hour collections of wild type embryos are aged to the appropriate developmental stage and then crosslinked. The chromatin is purified by CsCl buoyant density centrifugation and sonicated to an average length of around 600 bp. DNA fragments bound by specific factors are then immunoprecipitated using affinity purified antibodies. Where possible, separate immunoprecipitations are performed for each factor using distinct antibodies recognizing non overlapping epitopes of the protein. Control immunoprecipitations of crosslinked chromatin in the presence of normal IgG are also performed. Duplicate immunoprecipitations are performed for each anti factor antibody and IgG control.
For ChIP/chip the DNA samples from chromatin immunoprecipitation and the input chromatin are then amplified, labeled and hybridized to affymetrix tiling arrays that contain over 3 million 5 µ features representing 25 bp sequences spaced on average 35 bp apart across the unique sequences of the D. melanogaster genome, for detailed protocols see here, and also Li et al 2008. The array data is first analyzed using a comprehensive package of command line java applications for mapping, normalizing, testing, filtering, printing, plotting, comparing, and annotating results. This package, TiMAT, identifies regions of the genome significantly enriched in the immunoprecipitation (called intervals or bound regions) and provides False Discovery Rate estimations for each region using two methods (the symmetric null test and the experimental IgG IP test). TiMAT also identifies the location of the peaks of local maximum array hybridization, the most intense peak in each interval being designated as the primary peak. TiMAT is freely available as open source software.
In addition, secondary analysis scripts take bound regions identified by TiMAT and characterizes then further to, for example, discover the locations of factor recognition sites and determine if these are functionally conserved across Drosophila species, or to determine the genomic features and gene classes associated with each primary peak. These analyses were designed to take into account and to illustrate the fact that animal sequence specific transcription factors bind a quantitative continum of hetrogenous genomic regions, from highly bound functional target elements to poorly bound regions, many of which may have no direct transcripitional function, see Li et al 2008 and MacAurthur et al 2009.
For ChIP/seq, the DNA libraries for sequencing were prepared from immunoprecipitated DNA or from input DNA samples using the genomic-DNA or ChIP-DNA sample preparation kits from Illumina. The libraries were quantified by Q_PCR, and were sequenced on the Solexa/Illumina platform. The details of DNA library preparation and quantification are provided here. The data were used to show that there are pervasive quantitative changes in transcription fatcor binding between closely related Drosophila species, see Bradley et al 2010.

Spokane - Religious Email
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. (AP) — The Spokane Valley Fire Department has fired a captain who continued to send religious emails from his department account despite numerous orders to stop.
The Spokesman-Review reported that Capt. Jon Sprague, who runs the Spokane County Christian Firefighter Fellowship, has been disciplined several times for sending the emails. This year, he received two letters of reprimand and a suspension before the Spokane Valley Board of Fire Commissioners voted unanimously to fire him on Monday.
Sprague sent emails to a group of firefighters who agreed to receive the notices. They contained information about upcoming meetings and events of the Christian fellowship group.
Department attorney Mike McMahon says sending the emails was an unlawful use of department resources.

Harassed seals abandon their pups in La Jolla's Children's Pool
During harbor seal pupping season (Dec. 15 to May 15), mothers and pups enjoy the sandy Children's Pool (aka Casa Beach) to themselves. However, at the nearby South Casa Beach, seals are constantly harassed by visitors who approach them in close proximity and sometimes even pet them. Scared mothers may abandon their pups if they have been separated or human smell has contaminated the pup. Abandoned pups often times starve to death.

"Is it going to be bad news? Please say it's not bad news" she pleaded, "I just can't handle any bad news right now!" A storm was raging outside the window as I told her to take care of herself first. I wanted her to be receptive and ready for a positive reading experience, but in her vulnerable state, neither one of us was ready to confront the answers she already knew were there.
You're all psychic, I have no doubt. Clients who are drawn to seek psychic advice do so because they have more intuition, not less! But in these days when trusting your gut is laughed at in many instances, it pays to find a trustworthy person on which to bounce your ideas and suspicions until they come to light. For this to work, both psychics, both you and your professional consultant, must be ready to explore the issues at work.
How can you, as an intuitive person, prepare yourself for intense exploration of an issue with your psychic? Begin by keeping a dream journal. This may seem like an unusual approach that is a lot of hassle, but it will do a lot to bring out your own psychic abilities. When you sleep, by definition you are passive and receptive, so when you wake up, make sure to have pen and paper within reach and write down what you remember immediately! It may not make sense at first, but patterns and your own rich bank of symbols will emerge.
When preparing for your in-depth reading to take place, pay attention to how your energies are affected by the environment around you. What phase is the moon? What is the weather like outside? How do you feel? Set up a quiet, uninterrupted time and place when all those factors are right and remove your shoes and socks to allow yourself to be grounded and receptive. The client who couldn't handle the news that was coming returned on a sunny day, ready to face her future when the moment was right.

As a Marine i am disgusted with Washington. Now that the wars are over the first thing they do is cut military spending,Where? Well of course on the Troops of course I real sign of appreciation. Of course the Weapons companies didn't feel any pain. Wall street is filled with criminals now that they were bailed out are those thieves sorry,hell no! A large percentage of homes being bought are by those crooks. Of course they invest in real estate. Why would they risk their money in the stock market. No rules were passed to assure us that this won't happen again so the next one is coming. Disgusted
Look at Mosul. American lives were lost there. We trained the Iraq army and spent millions to arm them. Now it's fallen to insurgents along with all the US supplied weapons and equipment. The Iraq government didn't even try to defend it. They just fled. More cities will fall, quickly. I say bring every last service member home for good. Not one more casualty, hell with it.
According to me , it has been a mistake as far as the peoples interests are concerned. But for the ruling cliques in Washington it is a success. If it was a mistake and a feeling of guilt and repentance on iraqs invasion then I am pretty sure Obama would stop meddling in libyas affairs as it is evident general khalif haftar is trying to de stabilize Libya on behalf of cia.
We should only take military action if there is a plausible threat to the health and safety of american citizens. There was no such threat from Iraq. Iraq was not taking or threatening hostile action against Americans.
The war mainly benefited Iran. They gained a new friend and lost a major enemy in Hussein.
Yes, Iraq was a waste of time, money, and lives, because there wasn't a real threat to U.S. interests there. Intelligence did not do a thorough enough of a job investigating whether there were weapons of mass destruction before the nation attacked. Our resources would have been better spent elsewhere.
Politicians paid for the war by borrowing money. Talk about corporate welfare. The tax payer get to pay for the war with interest and receive nothing on their investment. Our young kids were killed and maimed for a lie. Now the politicians want to cut veteran's benefits. Politicians need to burn in hell. America wake up and don't be conned into anymore wars.
Let's just pose this scenario: Someone keeps picking on you, making fun of you. You have one of two choices, do you take a trip over to their house, and confront them about it there. Or do you hold your ground, on your own property, where you have a home court advantage? Fighting over there isn't going to keep them from attacking here, when they already have a lot of terrorists here. We will see when we draw out. The Al Queda is just going to take back over, also it's ritual for them to attack nations who interfere with their homeland right after they draw their soldiers out. Happened to Russia. The only gain our nation has gotten was a little more control over some oil wells. True agenda anyone?
Iraq was a major waste of time and especially money and lives in the United States. Although in the beginning it might have seemed as if it was a required act to be taken, it was appreciated by almost no one. When a union is asking for help against a dictator or other being it is the responsibility of those who can help to do what they can do. However, they did not ask for the help that they were given and the U.S. did not even help the country considering it is still in just as bad shape as it was when we tried to help them.
The Iraq War was a massive waste of time, money, and lives for the United States. While Saddam Hussein was without question a tyrant who deserved what he got, he was in no way an imminent threat to the US, and therefore there was no need for the US to interfere. The US lost much in the war, and gained practically nothing. The region is as unstable and hostile to the US as ever.
In my opinion, the most recent Iraq war was based off of mistakes, fabrications, and greed. I think the President at the time was attempting to finish the prior Iraqi war that his father had led. Greed for money, greed for power, greed for oil, these are the reasons that people died, and it's unacceptable.
The question posed is typical of propaganda. I agree that the war was a waste - but taking most of Saddam's weapons out should have been the goal - and then depart. Most of the Iraqi people have never embraced the concept of 'their country', and are not likely to feel comfortable with electing just a few 'representatives' to actually represent them. A 'Country' is not really a practical concept in a disparate, regional society. Just saying that the war was "Bad" - and then allowing those who asked this question to misrepresent why the war was 'dumb', is not in my best interest.
Therefore I vote "NO" to "Was Iraq a waste of time, money and lives?" - It's so easy to 'sell' ignorance - difficult to 'sell' complicated issues. Anyone who took Sociology in college should have some exposure to why this type of question is absurd.

It's my sisters engagement party today. My job for the evening is to create the engagement video that is to be shown tonight. I only have a third of the photos that are supposed to be included and a whole lot of raw footage to sift through and somehow make coherent. I won't get the rest of the photos until two hours time and then have one hour until all of the guests start arriving....
Needless to saw it's a wee bit stressful. It's been a while since I made a video too, so I have no idea how long this one is going to take to render!
All I really want to do is this:
I also have a major piece of assessment due in couple of days which I haven't even started!!! So when I think of that I kinda wanna scream like this:
I personally can't see this video thing going well tonight, but who knows I might just be able to kick in to overdrive mode and totally pull off something absolutely AMAZING.
So hey I might just be like a little
LOT stressed and have had no sleep this past week.

What if the old experts were wrong about sex education?
What if the experts are wrong? What if after spending $200 million per year on sex education in our public schools, and after spending hundreds of millions of dollars paying for abortions, the new experts find the former were mistaken?
What if a mother and father taught their daughter that engaging in sex not only brings with it the physical risks (as four million teenage girls will contract STDs this year alone) but that having sex as a teenager most assuredly brings with it the emotional risks?
What if the new experts find that little girls, all along, only wanted to be little girls and that all they needed to remain so, was love and affection form their parents? What if the new experts determine that the best person for the job is the parent and not an unaffected third party? Since that time that the old experts determined that the government is the best candidate to educate our children, out of wedlock births have skyrocketed, with nearly a third of all births being to unmarried women, and an incredible 90 percent of these births are from young girls with no fathers in the home?
And get this, seventy percent of Black American births are to unwed mothers.
What does this mean?� It means that when the system undermines the traditional family values by implementing the "experts" safety net with their socially engineered programs, kids will be kids and are going to have sex regardless of what we say, offering the disenfranchised youth validation by Big Brother to seek and explore, play for free philosophy. We may as well teach them the right (our) way, and if they get caught and make a mistake, we will be there (oops, society will be there) to pay for their experimentation, with welfare, medical, housing, and yes, taxpayer-paid abortions. And no, abortion is not the topic, it is simply offered as evidence that a young girl can make a mistake and get the tax payers to fix it � or temporarily numb the pain. It is estimated that 90 percent of all women who have abortions suffer emotional psychiatric distress, and are nine times more likely to commit suicide than those who have not had an abortion.
So what if we parents decided to be just that, parents, who set boundaries and take responsibility for raising our own kids, even the part of assuming responsibility for their mistakes. What if we took the government out of the equation altogether and allowed (oops I mean placed) the responsibility back to the family, as fractured as it is with 50 percent of children growing up in a fatherless household.
Perhaps this is precisely what families need to begin being families again. When government is taken out of the equation and the real experts�the people, with a sense of responsibility for their choices � are forced to actively participate in the problem solving of their mistakes, the moral compass will once again point north.

Accomplishments deserve front page, indiscretions the back page
"Dr." Nancy D. O'Reilly's article in a recent Press Dispatch Op-Ed is a prime example of what is wrong in America.
She didn't appear to look into the law books here in California. Last I checked, adultery isn't a crime.
Adultery may be a spiritual or moral indiscretion to some who have tethered themselves to a vow of monogamy. But it is not a crime.
Adultery is a private matter and should be dealt with between the parties.
The reason that great women such as Lady Diana, First Ladies Kennedy, Clinton, Roosevelt, and others, kept quiet about these matters is that they had the common sense to understand that these matters are and should remain private.
What makes the wives of these statesmen truly great, is that they realize and accept that their husbands are not perfect. And, they have the sense to keep their mouths shut about their husband's imperfections, and handle them with grace, dignity and aplomb.
Individuals such as Dr. O'Reilly love to shine a light on the foibles of others. Just let one American, or one American statesman, have a flaw, and she will be right there shining the Hubble telescope on that flaw for the world to see.
Instead, the great wives of these statesmen focus on the accomplishments and successes their husbands have achieved, and prefer instead to shine a light on them.
I'm willing to bet that if you take their accomplishments and achievements, and lump them all together, they are far greater and outweigh their indiscretions. It's time we Americans have the accomplishments in the headlines, and the foibles in fine print on the back page of the newspaper.

Folk + Danse = (R) évolution
Who makes dances? We do!
Choreographer's corporal experimentations often become codified little by little, continuing to evolve while they develop specific patterns. Even if their research resists, there is often an inevitable conservatory process. From this a new generation of choreographers question, evolving within or starting revolutions of their own, which send ripples of influence to our collective future dance.
We conceived our first program "American folk dancing" as an immersion into a particularly (r)evolutionary time and space for dance, a moment where society opened itself and stepped away from many dogmas and limitations of its past. 1970 to the early 80s, in an emblematic location: New York, two women, Twyla Tharp and Trisha Brown, were creating their own vernacular. A dance started to evolve through improvised explorations over a multitude of terrains, that wasn't concerned with classical history but was grounded in how we as "folk" move. Free, open, it was often presented by its creators as being "danceable by everyone." Later it would be codified, creating a legacy which, whether we want it to or not still influences dancers, choreographers and audiences today.
And we have chosen to share with you some of these pioneering moments in contemporary dance, bringing into the repertory of the CCN - Ballet de Lorraine The Fugue and Nine Sinatra Songs by Twyla Tharp and Opal Loop/Cloud Installation #72503 by Trisha Brown.
The act of looking back into our history is an immense resource for us: linking and connecting certain moments and nuances of our shared past enriches our own vision of the future. We are always able to start over – and over, but we cannot ever really wipe the slate completely clean.
What are the choreographers of today preparing for us? Will their creations become a new style of dance, will this style be evolutionary or revolutionary? How will their work reach us, how will it give us the courage to move forward? This artistic and political "itinerary" has been given to the choreographers Cindy Van Acker and Marcos Morau, who will be creating new works for the company in the second program of the 2015-16 season.
Research, experimentation, evolution and revolution (!) are part of our everyday life. Join us between March and May 2016, discovering another LAB BLA BAL PROGRAMME, which will consist of two Carte Blanche evenings offered to the dancers of the company, the inviting of Il n'est pas encore minuit … by the Compagnie XY, and last but not least, a participative project, DISCOFOOT, for dance loving amateurs. With an original concept proposed by Petter Jacobsson and Thomas Caley, DISCOFOOT will be a wacky (!) tournament of danced soccer matches played according to a series of choreographed rules.
We will also present our end of year performance at the Opéra national de Lorraine with the students from the dance courses offered by
of the CCN-Ballet de Lorraine.
We hope you will also join us for the many other community activities we offer over the season: open rehearsals, workshops, encounters with artists… as well as our partnerships with Nancy Jazz Pulsations, RING, the CCAM, L'autre Canal, the Centre Pompidou-Metz…. organized at our location at 3, rue Henri Bazin, or at other venues in the Nancy area. We hope you will join us in getting to know the many choreographers programmed around the Lorraine region between October and December 2015 under the auspices of the Dance Biennal Exp.Edition #02.
Artists have always been essential, contributing to the development and the elevation of our society. They expose us to the great political, social, artistic and cultural questions and problems that are currently part of our world. Through their work they question, they express their doubts and communicate, opening important cultural debates that may then be taken up by other artists and other individuals.
We invite you to join us for these (R)evolutions in 2015 – 2016 in Nancy, in the Lorraine region and on tour.

Trisha Brown - Twyla Tharp
In this exceptional program we will be presenting three important works by the choreographers Twyla Tharp and Trisha Brown. These two choreographers' works were part of one of the most beautiful and revolutionary periods of American dance history.
For the first time, an emblematic piece by Trisha Brown, Opal Loop/Cloud installation #72503 will enter the company repertory, and the Autumn Festival in Paris will present the work for eight evenings in November 2015 at the Théâtre National de Chaillot.
After the enormous success in Nancy of Tharp's In the Upper Room in 2013 and 2014, we are now also offering you the possibility of discovering two more exciting pieces by Twyla Tharp: The Fugue and Nine Sinatra Songs, to the timeless and melodious music of the great Frank Sinatra.

Cindy Van Acker – Marcos Morau
With this second program consisting of works by two well established contemporary choreographers, Cindy Van Acker and Marcos Morau, we ask them to consider the theme for this season and the questions being asked: how do their pieces question the time we live in? How do their pieces contribute to an evolutionary/ revolutionary form of dance?
With these new works choreographed on the dancers of the CCN - Ballet de Lorraine, we invite you to discover for the first time in Nancy these young choreographers who have attracted attention all over Europe for their mastery of style and their astonishing creativity. Share with us a new and richly layered experience with two important up and coming artists.

Presumptive President Rodrigo Duterte plans to use the presidential yacht BRP Ang Pangulo as a floating hospital since he cannot immediately sell it as originally planned.
"Gagawin ko na lang 'yang hospital so kung saan 'yung conflict areas, whether it is a war or whatever, i-parking ko 'yan doon," Duterte said.
Davao City Mayor said that the presidential yacht has 20 cabins which can be renovated and transformed into a medical facility.
In an earlier announcement, Duterte had said that he will be selling the presidential yacht, Ang Pangulo, once sworn in office. During an interview, Davao reporters were also told that the proceeds from the sale of the yacht will be allocated to war veterans, improvement of hospital facilities, and salaries for doctors to curb down brain drain and encourage them to pursue their careers in the Philippines.
Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla, spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), said that there are certain procedures for the alienation of government and military assets. As the Ang Pangulo is considered to be one, the president-elect will be required to create an evaluation committee to ascertain whether the sale is needed.
"Sabi ni Padilla, hindi raw maipagbili iyung 'Pangulo' kasi may proseso pa raw daanan. Natural, ano 'yan, maruya na sabihin mong pabili nga," Duterte said, acknowledging the need to undergo procedures.
Here are the specifications of the presidential yacht:
Name: Ang Pangulo
Type: Motor Yacht
Model: Custom
Builder: IHI Group
Year: 1959
Flag: Philippines
Length Overall: 77.33 m
Beam: 13 M
Draft (max): 6.40 m
Gross Tonnage: 2200 tons
Guests: 44
Crew: 81
Hull Configuration: Displacement
Hull Material: Steel
Superstructure: Steel

The "Mayor of the Philippines" also intends to use his personal pick-up truck as his official presidential vehicle as he is determined to ban his Cabinet members' use of luxury cars.

Inspired by a song of a Cuban band Porno para Ricardo, the exhibition plays with the line Politics: I do not like it, but it likes me. We live in a context where politics play a key role in the field of representation and visibility so that artists have become demanding commodities. Like it or not, art is political. Art is the battle field where artists once again have to struggle for survival in the dramatic political-economic transition in Cuba, Poland and Spain.
From the periphery of the artistic mainstream, this exhibition addresses different issues of Cuban, Polish and Spanish transition. It studies the processes of social transformation, inward and outward identity construction, and the forms of representation in the context of Capitalism hegemony/ubiquity. In the course of their adaptation to the new reality, the artists have taken a critical look at modern capitalism and proclaimed "Art a territory of freedom". This thesis goes beyond merely aesthetic representations and examines in-depth the realms of politics and history. How does art covert itself into a tool of historical analysis and establishes its own territory of political activism and resistance?
This project aims to reflect on the mechanisms of distortion and destruction of a utopian system – first, through idealized perception and subsequently through ideological de-legitimation of socialist beliefs and their potential to enhance social progress. The historical knowledge of socialist past gets distorted and erased by the idealized perceptions. As a result, the historical context evaporates and gets replaced with the newly constructed interpretations of "Socialism" which inundate the global political arena. Many individuals would share the claims of corruption and inefficiency of so-called "socialist ethics" and political organization. However, what about the system that comes to replace it? What are we getting from the failure of Cuban socialism and the experience of new politico-economic transition? What are the options of resistance?
During the opening there will be a performance by Hamlet Lavastida.
Mieczysław Struk the Marshal of the Pomorskie Voivodeship is the patron of the exhibition

We're eagerly looking forward to Yale's 3rd annual pro-life conference.
Vita et Veritas on Facebook
We're eagerly looking forward to Yale's 3rd annual pro-life conference.
Vita et Veritas on Facebook
January 22nd marked the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the controversial 1973 Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in the United States. Since the landmark decision, over 55 million have perished in a procedure that, for the most part, remains legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy. With this in mind, six Dartmouth students traveled to Washington, DC last week to participate in the annual March for Life. The March is the largest pro-life demonstration in the world, attracting literally hundreds of thousands of people from all over the globe. Vita Clamantis, the pro-life group at Dartmouth, organized this year's trip.
The six of us departed campus on the afternoon of Thursday, January 24. We stayed overnight with members of the Georgetown Knights of Columbus, and woke early the next day to head over to center city. First, our contingent gathered with pro-lifers from other Ivy League schools on the steps on the Capitol building facing the Supreme Court. We then walked to the rally point on the national mall, where we gathered for speeches by prominent pro-life leaders like former Senator Rick Santorum. Santorum spoke eloquently about his daughter Bella, who was born with Trisomy 18, a rare genetic disorder. Sadly, upwards of 90% of children with this condition are routinely aborted.
After the speakers concluded, we began our long trek back to the Supreme Court. Along the way, our group ran into several friends, such as Sister Joseph Andrew of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. This was a pleasant surprise, especially since conservative estimates suggest that over 400,000 attended the March this year. Needless to say, the view from Capitol Hill was spectacular. A long train of witnesses stretched out across the landscape.
Following the March, our group enjoyed a catered luncheon at Pizzeria Uno's with the College Knights of Columbus. We also attended a holy hour and social that night at the Dominican House of Studies, where we visited with Brother Thomas More, who was stationed at Aquinas House last summer.
On Saturday, we attended the Cardinal O'Connor Conference on Life at Georgetown University, the largest student run pro-life conference in the United States. Helen Alvaré, former spokeswoman for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities, gave the keynote. Professor Alvaré suggested that our pro-life views may lead us to conclusions that we do not initially expect. We also enjoyed hearing from speakers like Jennifer Lahl, President of the Center for Bioethics and Culture. Vita Clamantis hopes to hold a film showing of Ms. Lahl's film Eggsploitation in early spring. The conference culminated in a round table discussion with women pro-life leaders such Melissa Ohden, the survivor of a failed saline abortion, and Lila Rose, founder of Live Action. Live Action is a pro-life group specializing in investigative journalism. The weekend concluded with a mass celebrated by Cardinal Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington.
As we drove back to campus on Sunday, I couldn't help but marvel at the events of the weekend. We return to Dartmouth humbled but ready to stand up for the most vulnerable among us.
Robert Smith '14 is from North Wales, PA. He is a graduate of Devon Preparatory School, which sends nearly 200 students to the March for Life each year. At Dartmouth, Robert is a Government major with minors in Music and Anthropology. He is currently the president of Vita Clamantis.

On Wednesday, April 18, Vita Clamantis set up a display of 546 American flags on Dartmouth's Gold Coast to commemorate the 54.6 million lives lost to abortion in the United States since 1973. The purpose of this display was not to condemn but to ask for forgiveness and to promise hope, to promise ourselves and each other that we will do better, we will care better, we will be better. We put these flags out to ask every Dartmouth student a simple question: when your friend, your sister, your cousin, your neighbor, finds herself in this crisis, afraid and uncertain, feeling like the decision of her life weighs upon her, what will you do? Vita hosted a moderated discussion about the display and the abortion issue at 8 PM in the Rockefeller Center's Class of 1930 room.

PRIBOMALProject ID: 37494
Funded under:
Pre-clinical studies towards an affordable, safe and efficacious two-component paediatric malaria vaccine
Project details
Total cost:EUR 3 585 326
EU contribution:EUR 2 345 358
Coordinated in:Netherlands
Call for proposal:FP6-2005-LIFESCIHEALTH-7See other projects for this call
Funding scheme:STREP - Specific Targeted Research Project
Malaria is one of the major public health challenges in the world, causing more than one million deaths each year. The disease affects primarily children of the developing world, and it is understood to be both a disease of poverty and a cause of poverty. The available measures, such as personal protection or drugs, have proven insufficient to control the disease. A safe, affordable and efficacious paediatric malaria vaccine, which fits in the existing WHO Expanded Program on Immunization, would solve tremendous suffering to human kind.
Taking up this challenge, the PRIBOMAL consortium proposes to generate and test in pre-clinical models the safety and efficacy of an innovative malaria vaccine. The vaccine consists of a prime, to be administered at birth, of a proprietary novel recombinant BCG vector carrying three antigens derived from the Plasmodium falciparum parasite, the cause of malaria. The priming vaccine is followed at week 14 after birth by a booster vaccination using proprietary, industrially developed, recombinant adenoviral vector carrying the identical Plasmodium falciparum antigens as the rBCG-based malaria vaccine. The antigens inserted into the vaccine carriers are circumsporozoite protein, liver stage antigen-1 and sporozoite threonine and asparagine rich protein, which all three are proven highly immunogenic in humans.
Generation of these novel vaccine candidates as well as testing in established and novel pre-clinical models to determine potency and safety requires a combined European effort to bring together the required expertise on basic parasite biology, malaria epidemiology, disease onset and progression, recombinant vector technology, fundamental immunology, advanced animal models, and sophisticated proteomics. The international PRIBOMAL consortium proposed here bundles all required experience and as such deems itself well positioned to successfully conduct the research program proposed.

Thanks GaryReplyDelete
What a hoot. You folks have a bright future if you're this dedicated. Even though humor will bring me back, satire can become depressing. Could you do a few upbeat sets with possitive outcomes - same kind of timeline aspect to it?

Update on Toilet Training our 23 Month-Old
I'm so sorry I didn't post the winner of our contest last week! The winner of a free copy of Toilet Awareness by Sarah Moudry is....
Erika K. Thanks for this. I need a jumpstart for our 22 mo old!
Congratulations, Erika! Please e-mail me your address!
Toilet learning has been going really well with Tate at 23 months-old. He is so much less resistant than Henry was about sitting on the toilet frequently. Every hour or so, I say, "Tate, let's go put some pee in the toilet!" He is sometimes resistant to stop whatever he is doing, so I will often encourage him to bring it with him. If we go out, I just bring his little toilet with us.
If he has an accident in his underwear, it's only a little bit of urine because he's putting pee in the toilet nearly every hour.
When we're swimming, he can tell when he needs to go pee. He gets out of the water, walks over to the edge of the backyard, and pees.
So far, so good!
P.S. This photo isn't what his experience normally looks like. We did purchase this seat insert for the big toilet, but he still typically uses his little toilet.

Vegetarian Rosé Gummy Sweets Recipe that is free of refined sugar, artificial flavours and animal products, unlike the shop bought versions. They are vegan as the seaweed extract agar agar sets the gummy sweets. If you are vegetarian / vegan do check that the wine you use is free of any animal products.
Use your favourite rosé wine as the base, you may need to adjust the sweetener depending on the sweetness of the wine. I recommend to add some sweetener as you consume a smaller amount in a gummy sweet so it helps to give a more intense flavour. Use any sweetener you like, we use maple in the video but date syrup, xylitol and agave also work great.
Vegetarian Rosé Gummy Sweets Recipe
- Total time: 20m
- Yield: 20 sweets
- Calories: 12 cal
- 1 cup / 240 ml Rosé wine
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Agar agar powder
How To Make
- Put your mould into the freezer. Any mould such as chocolate or ice cube works well for this.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a pan and whisk to dissolve the agar agar.
- Bring to a simmer while stirring constantly.
- Simmer for 3 mins and keep stirring to stop any lumps forming.
- Take off the heat and leave to cool for 5 mins.
- Pour into the mould and place in the freezer for 10 mins.
- Pop out of the mould and either enjoy straight away or keep in the fridge and eat within a couple of days
Vegetarian Rosé Gummy Sweets Video Recipe
Even if you're not vegan / vegetarian I would recommend using agar agar and not gelatin as it gives a much better texture, doesn't have an awful smell when cooking and isn't sticky. Agar agar can be found in several forms, but for these Jelly sweets I'm using the powdered version and this is the most potent version. If you're using others, such as agar agar bars, you may need more agar. To test if the mixture will set simply drop some of the mixture onto a cool surface and it should set in 30 seconds.

Two DePauw Professors to Make Presentations at Conference on Late Antiquity
March 1, 2009
March 1, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — Two DePauw University professors -- Jinyu Liu, assistant professor of classical studies, and Ellen Muehlberger, assistant professor of religious studies -- will be among the presenters at "Shifting Frontiers VIII: Shifting Cultural Frontiers in Late Antiquity." The conference will take place April 2 - 5 at Indiana University in Bloomington.
Dr. Liu's presentation is entitled "Fora and Public Honor in the Western Cities (IV-V Centuries)," while Dr. Muehlberger will discuss "Negotiations with Death: Ephrem's Control of Death in Dialogue." Scholars from eight countries will make presentations at the event.
"Beneath the familiar political and religious narrative of late antiquity lies a cultural history both more complicated and more fascinating," notes the conference organizers." Late antiquity was a time of intense cultural negotiation in which new religious communities and new populations sifted through existing modes of cultural expression, adopting many elements for themselves and turning others aside. This conference seeks to understand how cultural transformation occurred amidst the political and religious disruption that can seem characteristic of late antiquity."

Lakewood Rod & Gun Club Wins Title for Best Soup at SOUPer Bowl V
Jamestown, NY (Friday, February 12, 2016)—SOUPer Bowl Sunday V, which took place on January 31st, at the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club was a great success. Thanks to another record-setting attendance, sponsors and organizers WCA Hospital, Media One Group, Maplevale Farms, and the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club raised $6,000, in support of Robotic Surgery at WCA Hospital.
In addition to music provided to DJ's Unlimited, this family-friendly event featured fifteen homemade soups created and served by fourteen local restaurants and caterers. All attendees were invited to vote for their favorite homemade soup.
Emerging victorious and named "Favorite Soup" of SOUPer Bowl Sunday V was Lakewood Rod & Gun Club with their classic take on a fan favorite of Lobster Bisque. This is the first time Lakewood Rod & Gun has won this award. Finishing in a very close second was A Taste From Above with their first time entry of Creamy Chicken. Also finishing in the top five in fan voting was Game Time Sports Bar and Grill(Stuffed Pepper), Webb's Captain's Table (Creamy Tomato Cajun), Fox Mart(Akley Pork and Bean Soup) and Elegant Edibles(Cowboy Steak and Potato Soup). Tim Horton's Café and Bakery supplied the donuts and coffee once again for the event.
"This was a fantastic event with a response that exceeded all of our expectations," says Megan D'Angelo, WCA Director of Development. "We couldn't be more grateful to Media One, the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club, Maplevale Farms, Three Sixty Graphics and all of the restaurants and caterers for sharing their valuable time and exceptional talents with our community to benefit the patients we serve. It was exceptionally special that local organizations and businesses supported us with donations for the basket raffle. We would like to extend an appreciation to CCIDA, The Summer Wind, Jamestown Jammers, Peak n Peek, Holiday Valley, and the Audubon to name a few."
All of the proceeds from this year's SOUPer Bowl Sunday will benefit Robotic Surgery at WCA Hospital. This charitable event has raised over $26,000 total to support the construction of WCA Hospital's new Emergency Department and Robotic Surgery. This year, there was also an opportunity to buy a chance to win a PGA WEB.com Tour Package Experience for the week of July 4th-10th, which includes two VIP shared hospitality passes per day, two walk with the pro's passes for one day and a behind the scenes experience to meet and greet with the Web.com Tour players.

If you are interested in donating $5 for a chance to win this exclusive opportunity, WCA has tickets available in Administration and will have them available at their next two events, Red the Rink February 19th and Strike Out Heart Disease February 21st.
Robotic Surgery at WCA Hospital
On February 14, 2013, highly-skilled surgeons first utilized the da Vinci to perform Robotic Surgery at WCA Hospital. The da Vinci Surgical System utilizes miniaturized tools, precise robotic movements, and high-definition 3-D imaging to perform complex and delicate procedures through incisions smaller than one centimeter. It enhances the skills of surgeons by giving them more precise control, greater dexterity that exceeds the limits of the human hand, and a higher resolution view of the surgical field.
To date, well over one hundred surgeries have been performed using the da Vinci and the responses have been overwhelmingly positive. Patients have praised the skills of the surgeons and have experienced less pain, less scarring, and a rapid recovery time.
To learn more about Robotic Surgery, find out which surgeons are utilizing the technology, and to watch patient testimonial videos, please visit www.wcahospital.org.
To make a gift to support WCA Hospital's investment in Robotic Surgery, please contact Megan D'Angelo at (716) 664-8423 or mail your tax-deductible gift to: WCA Office of Development, PO Box 840, Jamestown, NY 14702-0840.

Amantine (also "Amandine") Aurore Lucile Dupin, later Baroness (French: baronne) Dudevant (1 July 1804 – 8 June 1876), best known by her pseudonym George Sand (French pronunciation: [ʒɔʁʒ sɑ̃d]), was a French writer. She is regarded as the first French woman writer to gain a major reputation.[1]
Sand's father, Maurice Dupin, was the grandson of the Marshal General of France, Maurice, Comte de Saxe, himself an illegitimate son of Augustus II the Strong, King of Poland and a Saxon elector, and a cousin to the sixth degree to the kings of France Louis XVI, Louis XVIII and Charles X.[2] Sand's mother, Sophie-Victoire Delaborde, was a commoner. Sand was born in Paris but raised for much of her childhood by her grandmother, Marie Aurore de Saxe, Madame Dupin de Franceuil, at her grandmother's estate, Nohant, in the French province of Berry (See House of George Sand). She later used the setting in many of her novels. It has been said that her upbringing was quite liberal. In 1822, at the age of nineteen, she married Baron Casimir Dudevant (1795–1871), illegitimate son of Baron Jean-François Dudevant. She and Dudevant had two children: Maurice (1823–1889) and Solange (1828–1899). In early 1831, she left her prosaic husband and entered upon a four- or five-year period of "romantic rebellion." In 1835, she was legally separated from Dudevant and took her children with her.
Sand's reputation came into question when she began sporting men's clothing in public — which she justified by the clothes being far sturdier and less expensive than the typical dress of a noblewoman at the time. In addition to being comfortable, Sand's male dress enabled her to circulate more freely in Paris than most of her female contemporaries, and gave her increased access to venues from which women were often barred — even women of her social standing.

The Found Sound Orchestra
I am a huge fan of The Found Sound Orchestra as well as his earlier moniker, Team9. I posted his last free album HERE!
As it happens Neil is back at what he does best!!! I'll let him explain in his own words.
"For 2011 I have set myself a magnificent challenge. One that many have attempted before me. One that many have successfully completed – which I don't think we really need to focus on. Anyhow, I shall make a new Found Sound Orchestra track every week. 52 weeks = 52 tracks for you to listen to, download, delete, print out in digital 3d format , convert to binary.
This weeks track asks you to consider letting big beat back into your life. It departed with such urgency back in the day yet it was such a fun genre. Anyhow, bucking the trend of using crap records this week I butcher me some Dusty Springfield. Previous weeks have been a much mellower affair with an average BPM of 93.4. The sun does seem to slow things down a little….
Please drop by and say hi. I'm in need to friendship to make the next 47 weeks worthwhile."
Here is the week 1 track "Thank you 3 times".
He's got 7 weeks up already plus loads of other wonderfully sweet tunes for FREE.
Head over to his site and give him some love.

Delhi HC backs players, Indian board in contracts row with ICC
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court today weighed in to the ongoing dispute between the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) over the payers' contracts issue.
On a public litigation petition filed by Kapil Dev and others on the cricket row threatening the World Cup, the HC, in an interim ruling, observed that if India doesn't play in the World Cup there will be no telecast of the advertisements of the official sponsors.
It has also said that the Centre would have to step in and take action to stop transfer of foreign exchange if BCCI has to pay compensation to the ICC as a fallout of India not playing in the World Cup.
The next date of hearing is likely to be within seven days.
Meanwhile, the BCCI was today reportedly discussing in Delhi the olive branch offered by the ICC on the sponsorship row.
Reuters, quoting sources close to ICC, in a report filed from London, has stated that ICC has offered to end the sponsorship row with India over World Cup contracts with a "large olive branch".
A specially convened World Cup contracts committee of the ICC agreed by teleconference at the weekend to clear the way for India's participation in the competition, which begins in Southern Africa on 8 February.
It will accept India's refusal to sign up to its World Cup sponsorship rules in their entirety in return for a reimbursement from their board of any future claims for compensation arising from that.
This proposal will be endorsed by a full board meeting of the ICC on Friday, the Reuters report quoted the source as saying.

Isn't my Valentine this year such a stud muffin... like my OTHER Valentine, my Husband? o_O
I can't even begin to express how much I love being a Mom. It really helps when your child is as awesome as mine! (I know, I know... every Parent thinks that their child is the best thing known to man kind. But really, mine is definitely the best thing known to ANY kind!! HAHA)
My Baby is growing up so fast! I've continued to write privately since before my last post about 16 months ago (Yikes!), but they were mainly notes and scribbles that maybe only I would understand as they were for my own reference and pleasure. Now that this little guy has grown up quite a bit and is more independent, maybe I will have the chance to brush it all up and share? Another reason why I want to continue (or start again) blogging is because I realize that life is very unpredictable. You can't plan everything out the way that you would like for it to be, not matter how hard you try. If for any reason I am no longer able to express my feelings or share my thoughts with the world, or at least my loved ones, I would like for there to be something that they can refer to in order to see what my thoughts once were. I especially would love for the most important people in my life to be able to go back and see how much I have and will always love them. That is all. :)
Oh... did I mention that it is 3:17am and I have to be up in about 2 hours to go to work? Yeah... just thought I'd let you know that too.
Sweet dreams and... HAPPY FRIDAY!

Brooklyn Free Clinic is a shining example of everything American medicine needs to be (but isn't at all). I had an amazing experience here last night – from the friendliness of reception to the professionalism of the medical staff – and the only downside I saw was that this free community service is one that more people don't know about. Hopefully this review will help to change that (BFC wasn't even a Yelp entry until I added it! I learned about it on the Brokelyn website).- Elishevah G.
I needed to go to the doctor and am in between insurance policies, so I found the Brooklyn Free Clinic online and went the next day during walk-in hours (Wednesday, 5-6pm)… If you don't have health insurance and need to see a doctor, I'd recommend this clinic! Just make sure you make an appointment in advance. And bring a book to pass the time in the waiting room.- Brendan F.
Our volunteers are students and physicians from the SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, College of Health Related Professions, College of Nursing, and School of Public Health.
