Weightless in my wanting,
Riding the waves on a sea of blankets,
Humming quietly to the darkness,
As a breeze through the window,
Cools my skin,
A smile is found lingering,
On my thirsty evening lips,
And I wonder oh so lightly,
What name they hold captive,
In the moist den,
Of my mouth,
Who prompted this latent grin?
Who has snuck into my head space?
I am lying here alone, yet haunted,
By my unknown aggressor,
In love,
Be gone you tasteful demon,
Assail me no more with kisses,
So weightless as a sigh,
Tying up my ragged heart strings,
Into Gordian's knot.

Each contestant is immediately judged by five members of the audience, who have been selected before the show to be judges. They rank each punner on a scale of 1 to 10, often with hilariously long decimals and other commentary. Then they do it again, only this time contestants get their prompts on stage and only have 30 seconds to think and another two minutes to make puns. The top four contestants go head to head in a final pun-off."

The reserves for the 2012 NBA All-Star Game were announced Thursday with some surprises.
As expected, Paul Pierce made the cut thanks to arguably the greatest run of versatile play in his career. Injuries to Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen have forced Pierce to adjust his game based on what the Celtics need, and he's responded with a 10-rebound night and two 10-assist performances, as well as the steady scoring production we've come to expect.
After three teammates accompanied Pierce to Los Angeles a year ago, Pierce will be on his own in Orlando this season. The Celtics' recent winning ways did not convince the fan voters or the coaches to honor more than a single Celtic.
Allen might be wondering what more he has to do. He's taken fewer shots per game than ever before, but he's connecting on more than half of his 3-pointers, the best percentage of his career. Plus, he remains close to automatic from the free throw line.
The stats also fail to tell the story for Kevin Garnett, who is still a top-notch defensive player regardless of his drop in scoring and rebounding.
And then there's Rondo. Before a sprained right wrist sidelined him for eight games, Rondo re-established himself as one of the top point guards in the league. Had he been healthy all season, he would have been a shoe-in for a trip to Orlando, but he's missed a third of the Celtics' games.

This recipe is another Turner family tradition that has become a favorite over the years. Decadently rich and easy on sensitive tummies, this mousse is a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. Be sure to allow 6-8 hours to soak cashews prior to blending the mousse.
2 cups raw cashews
1 cup filtered water
1 cup strong brewed coffee
2 teaspoons sustainably sourced gelatin
3/4 cup cocoa powder
8 egg yolks from pastured hens
1/3 cup raw honey, maple syrup or powdered birch xylitol
15 drops stevia or 1 teaspoon green stevia powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
a generous pinch of salt
Place cashews in a bowl and cover with filtered water by an inch or two. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sea salt until it is dissolved. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 8 hours or overnight. When ready to use the cashews in this recipe, strain the water from them and use them wet. This step is critical to allow the cashews to soften, but more importantly to increase the digestibility of the cashews.
If using a high speed blender such as a Blendtec, simply put all ingredients in the blender and run it on the "soup" setting twice. Alternately, place cashews, water, and coffee in a blender. Sprinkle the gelatin over the mixture and allow it to sit for about 2 minutes to "bloom". Run the blender on high speed for about a minute. Pour the chocolate mixture into a saucepan over medium high heat. Be sure to stir consistently. Heat the chocolate until steaming and gelatin has fully dissolved. Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and allow it to start to cool for several minutes. Then place the chocolate and the rest of the ingredients back in the blender. Blend until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds. Pour into special glasses and chill. Serve the mousse plain, with shaved chocolate, fresh whipped cream, coconut whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Posted 26 June 2015 | By Michael Mezher
After being questioned by a member of the European Parliament, the European Commission (EC) says neither it nor the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have the power to acquire patents or issue a compulsory license.
In the past two years, drugmakers have launched several drugs to treat hepatitis C (HCV), a disease which left untreated can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer.
The new generation of HCV treatments, led by Gilead's Sovaldi and Harvoni, are highly effective compared to previous generation treatments, boasting sustained virologic response (SVR) rates of more than 90% in some patient groups, milder side effects and shorter treatment times.
However, payers around the world have struggled to absorb the cost of these new treatments. Payers are not only confronted with higher priced drugs, but with an influx of patients, encouraged by the drugs' high success rate, seeking treatment.
In the US, Gilead sells Sovaldi and Harvoni for $84,000 and $94,500, respectively, and has negotiated lower prices in several EU countries, including the UK, France and Germany. The company has also set up licensing agreements with seven generic manufacturers in India which allow generic versions of Sovaldi to be sold in India and 90 other low- and middle-income countries at around 1% of the drug's US price.
While the licensing agreements are good news for many around the world, the company has come under fire from advocacy groups such as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Initiative for Medicines, Access & Knowledge (I-MAK), which want to see Sovaldi become more accessible to patients in many middle-income countries left out of Gilead's licensing agreements. Additionally, I-MAK has filed patent challenges against Sovaldi in Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Russia and Ukraine, hoping to erode Gilead's patent protection for the drug.
In March, Ernest Urtasun, a member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Spain, sent a formal inquiry to the EC asking about the possibility of using issuing compulsory licenses to get around paying the industry's asking price for the drugs.
A compulsory license is a legal provision that allows for the licensing of intellectual property rights without the rights holder's consent.
Urtasun points to Article 31 of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) agreement, which allows countries to issue compulsory licenses without the rights holder's permission with some limitations. Under TRIPS, compulsory licenses should only be granted after reasonable efforts to negotiate voluntary licensing agreements have failed, except in cases of national emergency or extreme urgency. Additionally, the agreement states that compulsory licenses should primarily be for domestic use, and rights holders should be remunerated for the license, based on the "economic value of the authorization."
In response to Urtasun's question, the EC replied that "substantive patent law today is predominantly covered in the national laws … [which] deal also with compulsory licenses. It is for each member state to ... assess whether the applicable conditions for exceptions and limitations apply."
The commission also stated neither it nor EMA has "a mandate to acquire individual patents for general public objectives."

Ive read that it's possible to have "Pop-A-Loc" to come and use the inflatable pillow to open back door then climb into front open hood charge battery and then release the front lock I was also wondering if there is anyway to open the hood by reaching up from under the car??

Where have I been?
Work is thoroughly rewarding and challenging and I do enjoy it but it has been demanding and it has taken me a while to settle into the new working environment from a psychological point of view. It has been mentally tiring at times and settling into a balance is taking time. My hands have been troubled with RSI and I am having to work hard with self-physiotherapy to calm things down. This has meant that I have been unwilling to use my hands for typing at home. Thankfully, I am now much better and none of my work has been affected.
Much to my annoyance, I also seem to have been afflicted with periods of deep anxiety and I am hopefully overcoming this with exercise, meditation and self-awareness exercises. It all seems pathetic really as all I am doing is well within my ability but, again, I feel as though I am trying to find a balance.
My back went on me a few weeks ago and so I am trying to get that back in order too.
This seems to have been a Spring of readjustment and mental struggle to the new situation in which I find myself.
My Permaculture Course is superb and I now have only one more weekend in July to complete.
The vegetables in the garden are doing well but I am not sure if I will continue with the allotment as I can't put much effort into it. The garden is easy to micro-manage whereas the allotment is a small drive away and not quite so easy to visit. I will re-evaluate it at the end of the year.
I've been out with my drum to various locations: a drumming group, the hills of Herefordshire, my permaculture course and the garden summerhouse.

It seems that this year has been one of many changes - not just for the people but for the planet as well. The constant adjustments can play havoc with our bodies if we're sensitive to these realignments. Take heart and walk lightly.

I just found your blog this evening (morning?). I have the first and last posts and all the comments that went with your first entry. I only just stumbled upon the idea of druidry as a real and viable life path within the last few days, but on reflection I find that my path has been trying to get here since I was a child. In the last few years I have found it necessary to depart from the traditional, uber conservative, Christian upbringing that I was accustomed to and actually begin developing my own faith and world view. You have given me much to think about here, and I thank you for that. If ADHD doesn't kick in too badly, I hope to be able to take the time to read more of your posts, follow your journey and glean what I can for my own journey.

text: NHAI may not bite state govt bait on underpass project There seems no end to the hurdles for the proposed Hero Honda underpass project and persistent traffic jams at this junction on the Gurgaon Expressway (NH-8). Sanjeev K Ahuja reports. india Updated: Jan 14, 2012 00:04 IST Sanjeev K Ahuja Hindustan Times There seems no end to the hurdles for the proposed Hero Honda underpass project and persistent traffic jams at this junction on the Gurgaon Expressway (NH-8). This is because the stakeholders of the project — Haryana government and National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) — have failed to iron out their differences over sharing of the construction costs. Of late, in a clever move to bring around NHAI, the state government had agreed to bear 67% of the total cost but put a rider that the former should purchase the land required for the project from the state government. The government made this 'climb down' in a high-power committee meeting chaired by chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in Chandigarh on Tuesday. The project requires about 10 acres of land. Going by the market value, the land costs about Rs 100 crore. "We have decided to ask the NHAI to bear the cost of the land as well as the expenditure involved in the shifting of utilities such as underground sewerage and water pipelines, besides other infrastructure at the Hero Honda crossing. The matter will be deliberated upon by the ministry of road transport and highways soon," DPS Nangal, chief administrator, Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda) told HT from Chandigarh . By no stretch of imagination can NHAI accept this condition. According to NHAI officials, this condition would further delay the project as R100 crore was the total cost estimated for the project. "As the cost of the land is huge, we need to discuss the issue with higher authorities in NHAI as well as the ministry," said an NHAI official not wishing to be named. It has been three years that the NHAI approved the design of the 1.4-km-long underpass at the congested Hero Honda crossing on the Gurgaon expressway. Initially, the state government had objected to paying 67% of the total project expense on the ground that any addition in the infrastructure on national highways was the responsibility of the NHAI.

Seher Velosipedi Cube Curve 2016
Our Curve is the ideal introduction to the world of freedom on two wheels. It's the perfect Country Lite Series bike for exploring urban areas or even further afield. With a high quality frame featuring details you wouldn't normally see in this category plus powerful V-brakes, 24 gears and a comfortable Suntour suspension fork, this is a reliable and safe ride companion in any situation.
There's a good reason our Curve is lighter than other similar models. It's down to the light, double butted tubes that make up the aluminium frame - including the complex design of the down tube and top tube - plus the 3D forged, multi-funcitonal dropouts with integrated Easy Mount kickstand. As with all our bikes, the CUBE Curve has comfortably passed every EU and in-house stress test we could throw at it.
A good CLS needs reliable components. A reliable Shimano Tourney 3x8 groupset, plush Suntour suspension fork and powerful V-brakes make this bike perfect for town or country cycling. Low rolling resistance and excellent grip, even off-road, are the hallmarks of the CX Comp tyres. High quality finishing components from the CUBE LEVEL NINE series are light and durable.

- It's the compressed history of the Marvel Universe. The fact there are several is pretty much a given.
- Phil getting over his fear of the Marvels:Phil: "I'M DONE HIDING!"

- The wondrous artwork.
- The first appearance of the Human Torch.
- The newsreel shows how truly badass Namor and the Human Torch are when they put their mind to something and team up together to fight the Axis in 1939. This, by the way, manages to not only reduce the entire movie theater to absolute silence, but marks the exact moment when the public decided that Namor and Jim Hammond really were superheroes.
- Namor battling the Human Torch is presented akin to an Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Mind you, this happens twice.
- The end of Book One◊, where we get to see the Golden Age heroes-Cap, Bucky, Namor, Jim Hammond, Toro, Aarkus, The Mighty Destroyer, Blazing Skull, the Black Widow, Black Marvel, and Thunderer all parachuting down onto a heavily fortified German castle, ready to kick ass while Phil and Casey watch.

Issue 158 - 05 | Calling All LeadersBy Constance Dierickx, PhD
Published Nov. 21, 2017 11:30 a.m.
"High-Stakes Leadership has a ring of drama, for good reason. When risk is great and uncertainty low, missteps can have catastrophic results. When we think of high-stakes most of us can name the obvious situations. Too often, we think that people who lead in high-stakes matters are special people. They are not. You do not need to be a special person, with super-human powers and nerves of steel as the examples in this manifesto will show. What do you need? Courage, character, judgment, and fortitude."

The Trump White House is in a perpetual state of discord. But even by its standards, this week was remarkable.
Just to recap, the week included:
- Republicans failing — apparently for good — to deliver on a long-standing GOP and Trump promise to repeal Obamacare, thanks to a statement vote from none other than Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), whose war hero status Trump poo-pooed as a candidate.
- Trump announcing a ban on transgender members of the military that was apparently news to both the military and Congress and still isn't sorted out, with several GOP senators opposing it and the Joint Chiefs of Staff issuing a statement that the military would continue to work with transgender employees.
- Trump delivering a highly political speech to Boy Scouts in West Virginia that had the organization's leaders distancing themselves from his remarks and making assurances that the Boy Scouts don't take political sides.
- Trump's new communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, talking about killing leakers and deriding Trump's other two top White House advisers, Reince Priebus and Stephen K. Bannon, in graphic and vulgar terms.
- Priebus resigning, becoming the fourth high-ranking White House staffer to exit within a little more than six months, alongside Michael Flynn, Michael Dubke and Sean Spicer.
- The head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), telling Trump that the committee would not take up a replacement for Attorney General Jeff Sessions this year if Sessions is relieved of his duties, after Trump continually undermined Sessions on Twitter and in interviews.
- Rebukes from Grassley's fellow Republican Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) and Ben Sasse (Neb.), who said Trump's potential firings of Sessions and Russia investigation special counsel Robert S. Mueller would be beyond the pale.
- More rebukes from police organizations — including the International Association of Chief of Police and the police department where Trump spoke in Suffolk County, N.Y., on Friday — for suggesting that police shouldn't be so nice to suspected criminals being taken into custody.
Trump seems to thrive on drama, and this week was chock-full of it. He even seemed to approve of Scaramucci's very public effort to bring the White House's internal dissension into public view. To the extent Trump wants his presidency and his White House to resemble a reality TV show, mission accomplished.
But if this is a strategy, it continues to look like a broken one. A president who promised so much winning that his supporters would become tired of winning is still creating much, much more drama than progress or legislation.
And even if he can't see it, those around him apparently can. Check out this brutal quote from an anonymous White House adviser in The Post's story on Priebus: "I think any observer -- including one that did not speak English and knew nothing about politics and came from another planet and solar system -- could, after observing the situation in the White House, realize the White House is failing. And when the White House is failing, you can't replace the president."
At some point, those supporters have to wonder what the end game of all of this is, apart from keeping us all entertained and fomenting a narrative that a media who documents this chaos is out to get the president. As this week showed, even those who should be allied with Trump are having trouble defending his methods.

Glasses: Warby Parker "Baker" // Top: Everlane
Glasses can be fun, but often times, they end up being a giant pain in the butt. Especially when you fall into a situation like me where you get sick of your current glasses (readers, to be specific). I'd had my old ones since my Sophomore year of high school, and they really weren't my style anymore. They were a little too "grandma" for my liking, and I wanted something that was more hip and urban, while still being a classic style.
But, as I'm sure we all know, glasses are freaking expensive, and I was not looking to spend several hundred dollars on a new pair. Sure, you can find cheaper manufacturers that are based in Asia, but, going with my heart, I wanted to find a responsible manufacturer.
In comes Warby Parker: affordable glasses (only $95!) that are made responsibly (ethical and sustainably). No, this is not a sponsored post (I wish!) but rather, a declaration of love for the brilliance that is Warby Parker. Not only have they found a way to become the only sustainable manufacturer on the marker, but they've also found a way to keep their costs extremely low. In my opinion, it's a complete win-win situation.
I went through their home try-on process, which, in retrospect, I kind of wish I documented. But like I mentioned in my post a few weeks ago (which you can read here), sometimes I just get so damn excited about things that I forget to share them on the internet. This is a prime example of that. I got so excited to try on my glasses, find my perfect pair, and share them with my immediate friends and family, that I forgot to take pictures of them all and document them on the ole' blog here. But, that's okay, the try-on glasses come with reflective lenses, so photographing them would've been a nightmare, anyway).
Regardless, if you are in the market for some new glasses, I highly recommend ordering from Warby Parker! They're truly as amazing as everyone says. The only downside? I wish I ordered progressives so that I could wear my glasses all the time. :)

Thrilled by the winter light,
I walk miles and miles
Immersed in heavenly sights
Coming from all angles
Into my quivering self.
Bright and bitter is this world,
But look beyond the mask
And the joy surging unfurled.
This is the truth to kiss and drink,
A tonic to banish the blues;
In your arms I relish and think,
Skin on skin, sailing through.


text: Okay, I've probably had access to hundreds of different candle scents and flavors. I can honestly say without a doubt that my all time favorite is Capri Blue's Volcano. So much so that I purchase them in bulk so I'm never out. It's the perfect light and airy scent that burns so cleanly, and one that you never get tired of. It's also that home-y smell you experience when you walk into an Anthropologie store. They come in quite a few different containers now from red, white, and blue to mercury glass.They last forever, and are well worth the price tag. Enjoy!

We recently got the opportunity to help on two professional film shoot in Birmingham and Coventry.
The event in Birmingham was the Social Enterprise West Midlands and Social Landlords Crime and Nuisance Group in Coventry.
It was an exciting opportunity to be part of creating the films, giving us more experiences in film making.
On the two days we took panoramic, establishing shots, close ups of people and most important the interviews where we had to consider the lighting, space – background, sound and angle.
One challenge was that lots of the shots were indoors with low lighting, so to overcome it we had to adjust the aperture setting (wide) and ISO whilst also maintaining image quality.
It was really nice to meet people from different organisations and learn more about what they are doing within their communities. We also look forward to getting a similar opportunity again, we enjoyed ourselves and got to learn more at the same time.

Leonardo's Workshop/
Nobody would dispute the contributions of Leonardo Da Vinci to the art, science, design and medical worlds, as well as others. The man was an absolute genius and changed the world forever. This MOC by MolochBaal imagines what his workshop might have looked like, and it's how I always imagined it. I love the fact that many of the disciplines Leonardo practiced are present, from war to fine art.

On Thursday, September 7th, 2017 The Woodlands makes the 15 mile trip south to Spring High School to play their second game of the season. With this game being on a Thursday, we would imagine some students and fans will not be able to make the trip because they will have work or school the next day. For this reason, we expect to see many searching for The Woodlands vs Spring radio broadcast live online through a streaming audio feed. There will be some that will seek out a live TV streaming feed as well.
There are a number of Texas high school football games that are on TV throughout the season but do not expect this to be one of them. While The Woodlands is a top 10 team in the state, most feel as if this won't be the closest game of the season. That said, there will be plenty of opportunities to find a live radio broadcast of this particular game. We suggest downloading the TuneIn radio app which will allow you to search for local AM and FM radio stations as well as stations that are trending. If this turns out to be as big of a game as we think it will be, it will likely be trending in your local area.
You may also want to look at Facebook for Facebook Live videos. Students may be using Instagram or Snapchat to broadcast the game or at least give live score updates. Remember, you can always use Twitter to get score updates as some of the most diehard fans will be updating via Twitter.
Do you plan on make the trip to Spring? Are you going to try to listen on the radio because you will be working or won't be able to make the trip? How bad do you think The Woodlands will beat Spring in this game?

A pain now, but later…
Traffic jams, in large part caused by construction of the Panama City and San Miguelito metropolitan area's Metro light rail transit system and a new sewer and sewage treatment system to clean up Panama Bay, drive the stress levels of living or driving in the city way up. The traffic situation is one of the major causes of the current government's unpopularity.
If cities elsewhere are any indication, however, once the Metro is finished and in operation the properties close to its stations will increase in value. Businesses with easy public access that doesn't involve traffic or parking concerns have an advantage. Demand for residences close to commuter rail stations also tends to go up.
Panama City's upscale real estate market is overbuilt and kept going largely by the cash infusions of money launderers. The recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of the Trump Ocean Club Panama is an emblem of the boom's fragility and is likely to take on a life of its own as would-be foreign investors take notice. However, around the Metro stations there are likely to be little real estate booms and these will be driven by factors that are connected to the real world.

TOKYO, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Japanese government bond prices slipped on Wednesday as improving investor risk appetite in the broader markets curbed demand for safe-haven bonds.
The 30-year yield rose 1.5 basis points to 0.615 percent, pulling further away from a two-year low of 0.575 percent plumbed last week.
The 10-year yield edged up 1 basis point to minus 0.005 percent.
The five-year yield was unchanged at minus 0.155 percent after an auction of the maturity on Wednesday attracted ample investor demand.
The bid-to-cover ratio, a gauge of demand, at the 2 trillion yen ($18.08 billion) five-year sale was 4.84, compared to 4.46, the average ratio from the past 10 auctions.
Japan's Nikkei soared to a near two-month high on Wednesday amid optimism that a U.S. government shutdown could be averted and hopes that the U.S.-China trade row would ease. ($1 = 110.6200 yen) (Reporting by the Tokyo markets team; Editing by Subhranshu Sahu)

If you put in the work, second time really might be the charm.
Can a relationship work after a breakup? This question is often posed by couples considering reconciliation. Unfortunately, this question is a bit up there with the whole chicken or the egg query: it's not all that easily answered (by the way, the egg came first — it was laid by the Cadbury Bunny).
Instead, the question of whether a relationship work after a breakup really depends on how you answer a different question: can you and your partner avoid the pitfalls that hurt you the first time?
If you can't, the answer is simple: getting back together is like betting the Cubs to win the World Series — there's very little point to it. But, if you both agree — and you both must agree — then a relationship can work the second time around. Not only can it work, but it can prosper.
So, for those who are doing the Take Two of their relationship, it's important to remember three key tips, tips that give you a better chance to make this go round last forever.
Forget and Forgive
The first tip in the can a relationship work after a breakup query involves the act of forgetting and forgiving. The former isn't always possible (unless you get a Forget Me Now from Gob Bluth), so you must focus on the latter: forgiving.
There's no doubt that your partner did something wrong in the past. And, there's no doubt that you did something wrong as well. But, not forgiving one another for past sins will prevent you from moving into the future. This not only means you must forgive each other in the beginning, but you must continue to do so. If you repeatedly bring up some error in judgment that happened three years ago — or don't bring it up but secretly seethe because of it — your relationship will end up being a maze of misery from which you can't escape.
Recognize the Problems
While you should forget and forgive past discrepancies, you must also acknowledge that they happened so you can grow from them. Failing to do this will cause your relationship to take the same route as it took before: it'll drive straight into a dead end. Only this time, more years will have been wasted and more bitterness will accumulate.
You can't make your partner change from their past errors — you can only change yourself. Ideally, your partner will be working on themselves as well, but you must focus on what you can control: your behaviors.
Make Sure it's for the Right Reasons
The final tip in the can a relationship work after a breakup has to do with the reasons you are reuniting. All too often, people get back together with an ex simply because it's easy. They believe that reuniting will prevent them from being alone or having to forge through the awkwardness of the dating world. Getting back together, they tell themselves, makes sense. But, doing this is like taking an unsatisfying job simply because it involves minimal effort — in the end, you'll end up full of regrets.
Worse than being lonely or having to listen to a date talk about themselves for an hour straight without asking you a single question is being unhappy. If you get back together with an ex merely because they are there, the odds are extraordinarily high that you will be miserable. After all, you were the first time and if you've done nothing to change that, why wouldn't you get the same result?
In other words, don't confuse comfort for contentment: only consider reconciling if both you and your ex have agreed to change your ways.

Brilliantly tailored woollen blazers that were knotted high on the shoulder blades, tweed all-in-ones with wide obi-style sashes and bulging ruffled skirts of frayed mattress ticking made for a true highlight of the 36-designer show in the Old York Hall, E2. Louisa Parris, whose stunning liquid silk backless dresses - some with undulating pleated skirts - came in black, orange and silver, was presented with the Womenswear award by Vanessa Mae, and Marcel Osterag, who starred as his own show's finale in a leotard and a pair of black patent stilettos - his bouncing corkscrew curls completing the look - took the Menswear prize. While it is the MA show, held at the end of London Fashion Week in February, that is usually credited with pushing the design stars of the future into their first limelight, last night's event proved once again that Saint Martins in the harbinger of the world's new talent. "You couldn't have missed it, could you?" said the evening's host, broadcaster and journalist Peter York. "These designers are the next Alexander, the next John, the next Phoebe and Stella." Other names of note included Katie Pugh, whose gorgeous muslin designs put her at the forefront of the print parade, Anna-Helena Rimmo for her stunning LBDs and Manuel Vadillo-Benitez who, judging by his range of exotic and international influences, clearly has the Galliano catwalk in his sights. And if ,b> Savannah Miller[/b]'s Perspex butterfly headpieces failed to get her noticed, the presence of her sister Sienna in the front row of the dress rehearsal show, with boyfriend Jude Law in tow, certainly stole her some fashion kudos.

We all know butt dials can be embarrassing. But lawsuit worthy? Now that's news.
According to The Washington Post, James Huff, chairman on the Kenton County Kentucky Airport Board, and his vice chairman Larry Savage were deciding where to eat, and Huff called an assistant Carol Spaw to make reservations. Huff slid the phone into his pocket and continued to shoot the breeze with Savage. Unbeknownst to either of the men, Huff accidentally dialed Spaw again, and she quickly realized the call was a butt dial, the report notes.
But once she heard talk of unlawfully firing the airport's CEO – her boss – she took notes, recorded the entire 91-minute conversation, and reported it. The call spurred a lawsuit, and the US Court of Appeals had to decide whether a recorded butt dial is admissible.
The Washington Post states the court sided with Spaw because…
- Huff was aware that pocket-dial calls happen and had previously made such calls.
- Huff hadn't locked the device even though he knew the risks, so he didn't have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
The court's interpretation of what constitutes as a reasonable expectation of privacy is an important one in the age of hyper digital connectedness. Even if you inadvertently place a call with your derrière, the call can be recorded, and what you say can be lawsuit fodder.
Calling All Risks
Thanks to Huff's unfortunate experience, we now know that pocket-dial calls aren't protected conversations. That means an overhead call may be used to support allegations of:
- Discriminatory practices. Any talk of firing or failing to hire someone can come back to haunt you if that person belongs to protected class (i.e., a group of people who are afforded a little extra workplace protection from equal employment opportunity laws because of their gender, race, religion, etc.). If someone records the conversation, it could support an employment discrimination claim. Read more about protected classes in the post "Hiring an Employee? Know What Can Go Wrong."
- Advertising injuries. Slander (i.e., spoken defamation) is an advertising injury that can be hard to prove. That's because the statement must be false, must be made publicly, and must cause harm to the injured party's reputation. However, in the era of digital communication and readily available recording devices, it's easier than ever to document slanderous talk, which could help support an advertising injury claim. Learn more about slander in Chapter 2 of our eBook Tweet or Twibel: The Small-Business Owner's Guide to Advertising Injury.
Moral of the story: when you're having a conversation with a friend, it's natural to speak more openly and let your unfiltered opinions loose. In the context of your business, some of those opinions can be very harmful, especially if you accidentally say something offensive about an employee or a competitor.
If Huff's experience teaches us anything, it's that being aware is a good way to manage these risks. Overhead conversations in a crowded restaurant or on a misplaced phone call may be recorded and used to support a lawsuit.
Keep Your Calls Off Record
First and foremost, if you're worried about butt dials, for Pete's sake, lock your phones. If Huff had locked his phone, the entire debacle may have been avoided from the start.
Secondly, understand your limits. You can be liable for firing someone just because they are a woman or over the age of 40. You can also be liable for publicly slamming a competitor for "ripping people off" if that is a subjective statement. As a business owner, you have plenty of discretionary power, but knowing how you can be held accountable for your decisions or your statements can help you draw boundaries.
If you make a mistake, the following policies may help:
- Employment Practices Liability Insurance. This is the policy you'll need if a former, current, or potential employee accuses your business of discriminatory management practices.
- General Liability Insurance. So long as this policy has advertising injury coverage (and most do), it can help you pay for legal expenses if you're sued over committing slander.
Lastly, work with an IT consultant (who has adequate technology E&O Insurance!). They can help you understand the other exposures technology brings to a business.

Letter from the Sport's Editor: Colette Harley welcomes you to the Phoenix's newest section/
On a chilly morning, late in 1972, a group of SLC students gathered to watch what would ultimately be Sarah Lawrence's final football game. Happening three times in history, the "Green Machine" entered the field to face Vassar's opposing team, the "Big Pink." Although Vassar would eventually go on to win, 33-24, the members of this short lived team would go down in infamy.
Now, almost forty years later, there is little knowledge about this event. There has always been a culture of competition among SLC's students. Sports teams have been formed and disbanded as they have come in and out vogue. In the vein of permanence, I am pleased to introduce you to the Phoenix's newest section: sports. It is here you will find athlete profiles, game stats and schedules and articles about happenings at the Campbell Sports center. We want this section to share student athlete's voice and accomplishments, as well as dispel any misnomers about athletics as a whole. I have been working with the Athletic department to bring the readers of this section the most accurate, unbiased, and up-to-date coverage possible.
Last year, there seemed to be a concern about a lack of community that existed on the Sarah Lawrence campus, a concern that was voiced in this very publication. Athletics are an important part of building community on campus. There is something called Gryphon pride, and it is a feeling that I get every time I step out on to the pool deck. It is a feeling I get when I read a peer's conference paper. It is tingling in my fingers that I feel when looking at a friend's photography portfolio, or when I see a roommate's dance piece. Community is what you make of it, and by supporting your fellow students, whether it be by attending a sporting event, a play or an art show, you are helping to create a tight-knit populace of well-rounded individuals.
But of course, it is okay to not be interested in athletics. As with all things the Phoenix covers, we are open to both sides of the subject. We are looking to create an open forum, filled with respectful, unbiased pieces of work, coming from both student athletes and the greater SLC community. I am looking forward to the coming year, academically as well as athletically.
As always, if you are interested in writing for the Phoenix, whether it be sports or one of our other sections, feel free to email any of our editors. If you have any questions regarding sports, writing sports or athletics in general, feel free to contact me.
Thanks for reading, and go Gryphons!!

POS Terminal Buying Guide
This buying guide will help you choose the right POS terminal/all-in-one POS computer for your business.
Chances are that you own a restaurant if you are buying an all-in-one touchscreen POS terminal. The POS terminal is the most expensive component in your POS system, so it is best to think things through and not rush your purchase. You don't want to spend hundreds and even thousands for a machine that when it arrives you realize it does not fit your needs. This buying guide should help eliminate that problem.
POS Software
First thing to do is check the supported hardware that your POS software recommends. Some POS software companies only list required machine specifications, while others will specifically list machine manufacturers and model numbers. So always check to see what the machine requirements are for your POS software first before you buy your POS hardware.
Operating System
We always recommend Windows 7 Professional and Windows POS Ready 7. We only sell POS computers that have Windows 7 Professional and Windows POS Ready 7. We do this because Windows 7 Professional has all of the components that many credit card processing software programs require to operate, and POS ready 7 is a PCI compliant operating system like Windows 7 is.
If you are building a POS system yourself, we can't stress enough how important Windows 7 Professional and POS Ready 7 are. Always be sure to check with your POS software vendor and credit card processing software vendor first before you purchase a POS computer. Make sure the operating system installed on the POS computer you want to purchase is compatible with your POS and credit card processing software programs.
CPU Speed
Most of the good entry level all-in-one POS computers have a minimum of an Intel Atom Dual Core 1.8GHz CPU. The advantage of an Atom CPU is it's low voltage, so your POS computer can be fanless, which eliminates the problem of fans being gunged up by grease or debris. And an Atom CPU is energy efficient, so your total cost of ownership will be lower than a fanned machine with a Core 2 Duo CPU, for example. But a dual core Atom CPU is not the fastest CPU. Again, be sure to check the CPU requirements of your chosen POS software. Keep in mind that even if your POS software says that a 1.8GHz Atom CPU is fine...be sure that it is; ask yourself these questions:
1. Will this be the only POS computer I will have?
2. Do I plan to run a CCTV/security system on this machine as well?
3. Do I plan to have other system resource intensive software programs running at the same time as my POS software?
4. Do I plan to connect a caller ID box to the POS system for incoming orders?
If you answered, yes, to any of the questions above, then it is highly recommend that you get an all-in-one POS computer with a faster CPU. An Intel Atom dual core will more than likely not be sufficient for your needs.
One last mention about Atom CPU POS computers, stay away from the Atom single core 1.6GHz machines. These machines are not powerful enough to run multi applications. They are only useful as a client machine that runs only one program.
RAM Amount
We recommend that you have no less than 2G RAM. If you know you are going to be running system resource intensive applications, then we suggest getting 4G RAM.
You want to ensure your POS computer has the right amount of ports for the peripheral devices you plan to attach. POS computers come in many different port configurations, so always make sure you have the correct amount of USB and serial ports, for example.
Integrated Peripherals
Make sure that the all-in-one POS computer you plan to purchase has all of the optional peripheral devices you want. The most common optional peripheral devices are:
- Magnetic stripe credit card reader (MSR)
- Rear 2 line VFD customer display
- Rear 8", 10", 12" or 15" second customer facing LCD monitor
- Integrated biometrics reader
The integrated biometric card reader and rear second displays larger than 10" are not offered by all manufacturers. If you see an all-in-one POS computer you like on POSCatch.com, please be sure to contact us directly if you have questions about the optional peripheral devices. We can let you know for sure if an optional peripheral item is available or not for the unit you are interested in.
And by the way, we are very thankful you decided to shop with us. You are the bomb!

Just a quickie – here are some little things I've bought over the past year that I've really liked.
1. Watercolor Flowers iPhone Case
Bought this from Etsy, love it, so cheerful and I like the way the iPhone shows through.
2. Grey & Wood Print iPhone Case
I had this one for 2015. Also loved it… gentle and a bit different. Was covered in a million scratches by the end of the year, but due to the print, you could hardly tell.
Bought this as a little Christmas present to myself, to go above my desk – wanted something relaxing. Made in Melbourne! It's currently being framed and then I'll be able to hazily dazily gaze at it.
I just bought this as a once-off pack, although it's actually a subscription service, because it's so freaking expensive in Australian dollars and being delivered to Australia (one MILLION dollars! sheesh!) but it's pretty fun – a pack of random cards, postcards, etc, that are designed by A Beautiful Mess.
OK, I couldn't go without adding something from kikki.K here. I love and use so many of their products, but unfortunately they've set their website up in a way that you can't link to anything they don't stock right now. This pen was actually a gift from James (for Christmas, along with a diary) and it writes beautifully, and looks and feels lovely.

Car involved in police chase in Columbia still on the loose
COLUMBIA - A car chase wound through Columbia for miles on Thursday evening around 7 p.m. Multiple agencies got involved with the chase, but the car involved got away.
According to a Boone County Sheriff's Department sergeant, a deputy tried to pull the vehicle over as it had been known to be involved in drug activity. After running the plates, the deputy found that there was a warrant out for the owner of the vehicle's arrest.
The car chase started on the north side of town at Vandiver and Rangeline. The chase stretched over several miles, causing the Columbia Police Department and the Missouri Highway Patrol to get involved.
The car chase ended up in Fairview neighborhood where the sergeant said the car hit a dead end. However, the driver proceeded to drive through the grass between a traffic barricade and a tree, which allowed the driver to get away.
"We have some idea where the vehicle, where those occupants might have been staying and so we will continue to check those areas and tho look for that vehicle," Sergeant Nikki Antine said.
Police were still looking for the suspect Thursday night.

Today my guest is Rob Karch. Rob has served, with his wife and family, as a global worker sharing Jesus with people in Quebec for twelve years. In today's conversation, he shares the story of how he got there, why he fell in love with God through reading Scripture with emotion, and the most recent unexpected turn in his life.
Listen closely to Rob as he shares his heart of trust in God who so clearly has led him to share Christ with others. Even as he faces what can only be described as one of the most difficult challenges in his life, he tells stories of real hope based on the truth of the Gospel. That trust is so powerful.
Rob is a friend and every time I talk to him this passion for God's mission in the world lights up his face. I hope you enjoy him as much as I do.
Great quotes from Rob in our conversation:
We do a huge disservice when we worry we're going to miss God's will somewhere because throughout Scripture when God makes himself known, it is unmistakable.
Simultaneously, there's blessing and there's suffering and it isn't just one or the other.
God loves Muslims just like God loves a secular Americans. It's the same thing. He's pursuing them.
It's almost as if God is saying "You know what? If you're not going to go to these people, I'm going to bring them to you." That's the lens through which I'm seeing some of the refugee movements and things today. Some of these people are coming from the most difficult places to reach in the world and it's almost as if God says, "Okay, I'm going to bring them to you."
Did you relate to Rob's story? If so, wouldn't your friends like it too? Share the show with them today!
Also, if you would be so kind as to stop by iTunes and subscribe. Leave a review which helps our visibility in the rankings.

I'll admit that Amazon has made my life so much easier. I've always been a fan of how convenient shopping on Amazon is, as an avid online shopper. My schedule is pretty hectic, and having items delivered to my door quickly takes the stress out of waiting for packages. I also love that Amazon makes shopping possible no matter where I am in the country because the chances are that if I need something urgently, I won't have to wait long. One of my favorite things about Amazon is the growing beauty section. There's constantly new products being rolled out, and some of my favorites are available for a lower price, and who doesn't love that? Ahead, you'll see and be able to shop my favorite beauty buys from Amazon.
You guys know that skincare might be my favorite thing about beauty. Amazon makes it possible to get all of your skincare needs in one shot. From my go-to cleanser to a cult-favorite exfoliant, I don't have to worry about waiting days for them to arrive. You can stock up on luxe skincare options and also ones that are on the more affordable side of the spectrum. Amazon also has plenty of sizes to choose from so whether you need some travel-sized products or larger ones, you're bound to find something.
Yes, Amazon has made its mark in the hair department as well. Grab all of your essentials including conditioner, brushes, dry shampoo and so much more. If you need a new blowdryer, flat iron, or styling wand you can find some great options for those as well. A tip of mine when it comes to tools is to check the customer reviews for some honest feedback on their functionality and learn more about if they're right for you.
I'm a fan of minimalistic makeup, so I usually buy concealer, primer, and neutral palettes from Amazon. There are a ton of color products on the site if you're into more vibrant and bolder looks. One of the best things about Amazon's makeup section is that there are both high-end and drugstore products on the site, and even some discontinued shades that you won't be able to find anywhere else.
