Let's engage in some really outrageous fiction for a moment. This is probably more fictional than science-fiction or even fantasy. It will simply never ever happen in this day and age.
Once upon a time, on a brisk day toward the end of November, the Boutique of Beautiful Things stood ready for its next season. Happy employees, eager to greet the upcoming holidays, carefully took down the autumn decorations that had graced the store ambiance since right after Halloween. The lovely orange and rust-colored leaf garlands were barely being taken down to be put on clearance, and the pumpkin decor was leaving the shelves to join the cornucopia of other fall decorations on sale.
With Thanksgiving coming up and Black Friday on its heels, this would be the most busy time of the year—the time to first start putting up the Christmas lights and rows of decorated trees. Gingerbread houses were daintily placed on the shelves in place of the pumpkins, and snowy holiday merchandise made its very first appearance in the store to bring a blanket of holiday cheer.
The Reality
Wandering among the rows of decorated trees just reminds us of how much we look forward to the holidays each year. Tons of ornaments and Christmas decorations surround us on store shelves, with the autumnal decor straying nearby, reminding us that the winter holidays have arrived. All around, holiday decorations tempt you to bring them home and decorate.
And we feel the holidays start to beckon—and we want to answer.
All around, holiday decorations tempt you to bring them home and decorate. And we feel the holidays start to beckon—and we want to answer.
That's at the end of September.
Everyone complains about how Christmas starts being marketed earlier each year. And every year, more people jump on the bandwagon of irritated consumers who are exposed to Christmas before Halloween month even starts.
The biggest shame about this is that by the time the holidays actually roll around, a lot of people are not interested anymore.
Why? People spend all year looking forward to the holidays, then around the beginning of December, are tired of it.
The problem with writers is that we tend to overthink things sometimes—but not this. We realize that a lot of people just want their real-life holiday stories back.
And as writers and readers know, timing is everything. It is kind of ironic, though, that Dickens' A Christmas Carol speaks to the worship of money—literally the first thing that our society now gravitates to when it comes to Christmastime.
In response to "festive."

District heating and cooling (DHC) is firmly ingrained in the fabric of Korea's energy policies, though the extent to which combined heat and power (CHP) within industrial and commercial applications can contribute to Korea's "green growth" strategy is still unclear. The government supports CHP through its planning policy and tax incentives, and some further measures are under development.
However, since the last IEA CHP/DHC Country Scorecard, progress has been relatively slow – CHP capacity as a share of total national electricity generation capacity has remained stagnant, and some hurdles still exist. The country has also faced a series of rolling electricity load-shedding incidents and there is greater caution about the use of nuclear power owing to the Fukushima accident in Japan, spurring interest in both large-scale fuel cell applications and residential fuel cell micro-CHP.
The scope and intent of this report is to summarise the current status of CHP and DHC applications in Korea, to review the impact that government policies have had on CHP and DHC uptake, and to offer possible solutions to the identified barriers currently being faced by the industry.

I could tell the battery was wearing down. The lights were dimming intermittently, the engine was chugging when it should have been humming and I was beginning to hear clinking and clanking when there should have been purring.
Grapefruit, mache and blackberry salad at the Fairmont.
Thank goodness a kind samaritan offered a helping hand in the form of a free pass to a day-long writing seminar in Seattle, given by Dianne Jacob of "Will Write for Food" fame, one that came with a room at the graceful Fairmont Olympic, the grande dame of the city's historic hotels.
Dave, self-sacrificing guy that he is, volunteered to putter around the Emerald City's beer halls while I was otherwise occupied, then meet up for cocktails and dinner. After a lunch provided by the hotel's chef, Gavin Stephenson, featuring dried, shaved grapefruit slices on the salad and pop rocks in the dessert, we hit a little speakeasy my brother had told me about called the Zig Zag Café (top photo) that was tucked down a stairway behind the Pike Place Market.
Zig Zag's Manhattan.
With the rain pouring down it was hard to locate, but we found its dark doorway and were ushered to a corner table with a good view of the bar where we could watch the tango between bartenders, servers and customers as they noshed, shook and drank. A place where the classics reign, I ordered a Manhattan, my new favorite cocktail, and Dave had his usual martini (dry, up, olives). They were perfection.
A day spent in a brightly lit hotel meeting room receded further into the background with every sip, and by the time I bit down on the whiskey-soaked amarena cherry it had stopped raining outside and the sun was slipping into Puget Sound.
We'd decided on a little place called Lark for dinner, a spot that came highly recommended (thanks, Langdon!) and was just a short drive up the hill from the hotel. Not in the mood for a big, fancy (and expensive) dinner, I knew the simple storefront was just the ticket when we drove up, and walking in it was clear we'd made the right choice.
Inside Lark.
For some reason it reminded me of a boathouse, though there was nary an oar or float in sight, with unfinished wood rafters and a simple, open room with artwork on the walls and sheer curtains to break up the space and muffle the sound. Seated on a banquette in the back against the windows, with tables near enough but not too close together, it was busy without being bustling and intimate but not dark.
Already well-cocktailed, we ordered a moderately priced bottle, a Mas Que Vinos Ercavio tempranillo, a full-bodied and earthy Spanish red. We also started with a half dozen Penn Cove oysters from Whidbey Island, fresh oysters being something we seemingly can't avoid ordering when we see them on a menu. Firm and briny without being meaty, these came with a lemon granita that, to my mind, would have overwhelmed their lovely brightness, so we shared it as a palate-cleanser before the next course came, a carpaccio of Yellowtail with preserved lemons and green olives.
Farro with mushrooms and ramps.
Our mains, mine a hefty duck leg confit that was probably the best version I've had from that bird, meaty and luscious with crispy, salty skin, was served with lightly dressed, sliced new potatoes and watercress. Dave opted for the pork belly, a square of fatty pig that came with spring peas and quartered bulbs of spring onions sitting on braised greens drizzled with a mustard jus. Need I say his knees were buckling?
Pork belly.
I also have to say that the service here is exceptional…friendly and casual yet efficient and knowledgeable. Our server was well-informed about the wine list, the entrées and sources of ingredients, but only engaged when asked. With a menu this incredible and varied, and ingredients treated with such loving respect, it'll be hard to not return on our next trip up north.

Jonti is the father.
September 7, 2007 at 7:09 pm
So Cherry is Dawn's nutter alter ego psycho lass. I don't like the fact that she has the hammers and it is a complete mare that we don't know who the dad is.
Brilliant series though, I still think it should be stuck back to back (well with a few breaks for light relief) on a cinema screen, that was suggested at one time.
September 7, 2007 at 8:07 pm
A DVD release of it at the end would be quite good.
Wonder what's gonna happen to Mike though.

I posted yesterday video from Thomas Beatie's appearance on Oprah. Beatie is the Oregon transman who came out publicly about his pregnancy in The Advocate two weeks ago.
I think Oprah was overall pretty sensitive to the issue at hand. She asked a few leading questions, but it seemed more because Thomas was obviously nervous and hadn't rehearsed his story.
More bothersome than Oprah implying that the death of Beatie's mother somehow made him trans was when he said that he tried to get in touch with organizations to get help and they either told him to keep quiet about it or didn't respond. I've tried to do some investigative blogging to find out who said what, and I'll have more on that next Monday.
What's disturbing and sickening, though, is the way that other shows have handled it. More on that after the jump.

The S&P hit a 17-month high this week, which at first glance might seem bullish, but there's something you should know.
Not all the stocks that led the market higher were – how can we say it – best of breed names. In fact some were downright junky.
Take a look:
Top Performers In The S&P 500 This Week
-MEMC Electronic
That suggests the gains in the S&P were not generated by a fundamental bullish outlook, but rather a melt-up, with market pros chasing performance and using these names to do it.
How long will the market melt up last? According to the Fast Money desk perhaps as long as the next two weeks.

One of my favorite idea books is Scrapbook Play published by Simple Scrapbooks in 2007…remember that one? Those were some of the most creative and fun scrapping prompts ever. Well, when I found out they were publishing a "sequel" this year I was so excited! Scrapbook Play with Photos is loaded with creative and playful prompts to inspire you to embellish, alter, and give more emphasis to your photos.
There are 126 prompts with adorable example layouts, plus 19 more without layouts at the end. Each prompt includes tips, variations on the prompts, and page references to related ideas in the book. Also included are quotes, random fun facts, games, and links back to their website for free downloads and additional info. It is full of some of my all time favorite designers and believe me, they don't disappoint!
What I like:
- 145 photo play ideas…at under $10 you sure get your money's worth with this special issue!
- All of the ideas look wonderful and adorable, but totally doable. Nothing seems overwhelming or too difficult.
- There is a variety of photo projects, not only scrapbook pages.
What I dislike:
- There are a few ideas using digital techniques, but I really wish there were more. There are a lot of simple digital products (actions, photo frames, brushes, word art, etc) that even traditional scrappers can easily use to enhance a photo.
What I made:
*For this layout I followed prompt 67: Use a border punch on a photo.
PRODUCTS Papers, ribbon, ric rac, alphas, and felt flowers by Jillibean Soup; buttons and brad by The Paper Studio; digital lined paper by Sande Krieger for 2 peas from "Basic Backgrounds", die cut paper template by Aly Dosdall; border punch: Fiskars; font: 2 peas Scrapbook; software: Photoshop CS2
*This layout was inspired by prompt 43: Digitally alter the color of a picture. I colorized each photo by opening it in Photoshop, clicking on Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation, selecting the "colorize" box, and then adjusting the slider to change the color.
PRODUCTS Chipboard thickers by American Crafts; brad by The Paper Studio; cardstock label sticker by Pebbles, Inc; font is Century Gothic; software: Photoshop CS2; page inspired by one of my favorite children's books, The Way I Feel by Janan Cain
*I went a little crazy and combined two prompts: 48 (create a digital photo collage), and part of 54 (add a title and journaling to a photo collage).
PRODUCTS Papers by Basic Grey; chipboard bookplate by Best Creation; felt flowers by American Crafts; brads by The Paper Studio; white pen: Uni-ball by Signo; digital frame by Aly Dosdall; software: Photoshop CS2

Since we are neck deep in the 14th season of Project Runway, I thought I would dust off my interview with Tim Gunn from 2007 — or it may have been 2006 or 2008. Not too sure when it was, but it was in that time frame. Anyways, this was one of two times I chatted with Mr. Gunn who is an Oracle of fashion. He's like the Gandalf of style. He's just really respectable, cool and the epitome of a gentleman. He's the only guy I know that can give the harshest criticism, but still sound like a pleasant, selfless and chivalrous. He's an anomaly.
Anyways, this was during a time when I was a fashion journalist and instructor. It was during a time when some cool designers were on the rise — so we talk a lot about Rodarte, Thom Browne, and some other people. On top of that, Tim gives the most accurate assessment of this generation of kids. This guy is on point about everything in life.

BEIRUT, LEBANON -- Great Britain is signaling that it wants to fill the political void in the Middle East being created by the U.S. breakdown in trust with the Gulf Arab States in an effort to offset potential Russian influence.
U.S. relations with Egypt ruptured over the administration's lack of support for the ouster, earlier this year, of the democratically-elected Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamad Morsi by the military. The U.S. suspended $1.3 billion of its military assistance to Egypt.
Advertisement - story continues below
Fed up with Washington's lectures on democracy, the Egyptian military leadership took some of the $12 billion in money it received from Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf Arab states and turned to Moscow to purchase some $4 billion in military aircraft and other equipment.
The Saudis back the military because they are opposed to the Brotherhood, which is against the monarchies of the Middle East and wants to replace them with Islamic caliphates guided by Shari'ah law.
TRENDING: Biden says 'nobody warned me' about Ukraine because son Beau was dying
The military wants Egypt guided by a milder form of Shari'ah than the Brotherhood does, but under secular leadership.
Following the Egyptian backlash, the U.S. decided not to bomb Syria or seek regime change, and instead entered into an arrangement with Russia to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons.

That development incensed Riyadh, which sees the alliance between the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iran as a threat to its existence.
For these reasons, Riyadh has embarked on an independent course from the U.S. to finance and provide weapons to Sunni Islamist fighters from Central Asia, the Caucasus, North Africa and the Middle East in an effort to topple al-Assad.
These fighters have shown to be closely allied with al-Qaida, further eroding U.S. support for the Syrian opposition, and throwing U.S. policy for the region into greater disarray.
"The alarming breakdown in trust between Washington and Arab leaders has certainly not escaped Moscow's attention, with Russia intensifying its efforts to move into countries that for decades have been stalwart American allies," according to Middle East expert Con Coughlin.
Coughlin said that the British are very aware of what he terms the "pitfalls of this dangerous tilt" toward Moscow.
Advertisement - story continues below
As a result, British Defense Minister William Hague has given a strong indication that Britain wants to renew its once deep ties with the Gulf Arab countries, much the way it was 40 years ago, before the British had to withdraw its forces from east of the Suez Canal as an austerity measure due to economic imperatives at home.
Now, Britain has signaled its willingness to return, as Hague pointed out in a presentation recently at a conference in Manama, Bahrain, organized by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel also was at that conference and attempted to reassure the Gulf States of continued U.S. interest in the region. The response by the Gulf Arab countries was less than enthusiastic, observers say, with Arab politicians questioning whether they could trust the U.S. any longer to look out for their interests.
Now, the British are floating the idea of more than $25 billion in arms deals with the Gulf Arab States and a return of British military presence east of Suez.

"Certainly, if the Obama administration is not up to the job of looking after its friends," Coughlin said, "then Britain should do the job for it."

The Daily Herald reports Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Anita Farris turned down a defense request for a sentence of community service, but Julie Klein will be able to serve her sentence on work release. Klein was paid up to 75 cents for each signature she gathered. State officials became suspicious of the similar handwriting. About 1,000 signatures she submitted were not counted on a gay marriage referendum or an anti-tax initiative. Comments | More in The Blotter | Topics: Marysville, petition, signatures

Both midzone and astral microtubules are involved in the delivery of cytokinesis signals: insights from the mobility of aurora B

To address the mechanism that coordinates cytokinesis with mitosis, we have studied the dynamics of aurora B, a chromosomal passenger protein involved in signaling cytokinesis. Photobleaching analyses indicated dynamic exchange of aurora B between a centromeric and a cytoplasmic pool before anaphase onset, and stable associations with microtubules after anaphase onset. Bleaching near centromeres upon anaphase onset affected the subsequent appearance of fluorescence along midzone microtubules, but not that near the lateral equatorial cortex, suggesting that there were centromeric-dependent and -independent pathways that transported aurora B to the equator. The former delivered centromeric aurora B along midzone microtubules, whereas the latter delivered cytoplasmic aurora B along astral microtubules. We suggest that cultured cells use midzone microtubules as the primary signaling pathway for cytokinesis, whereas embryos, with their stockpile of cytoplasmic proteins and large sizes, rely primarily on astral microtubules.

Nadolol and Pregnancy
In animal studies, nadolol caused problems when it was given to pregnant rabbits. However, animals do not always respond to drugs the same way that humans do. If pregnancy occurs while you are taking nadolol, your healthcare provider will weigh the benefits and potential risks before making a recommendation for your particular situation.
Nadolol (Corgard®) is a prescription beta blocker medication approved to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Based on the results of animal studies, the drug may not be safe for use during pregnancy, although the full risks are currently unknown.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uses a pregnancy category system to classify the possible risks to a fetus when a specific medicine is taken during pregnancy. Pregnancy Category C is given to medicines that have not been studied in pregnant humans but do appear to cause harm to the fetus in animal studies. Also, medicines that have not been studied in any pregnant women or animals are automatically given a pregnancy Category C rating.
Nadolol caused problems when it was given to pregnant rabbits. The exact problems were not specified but did not involve birth defects. No such problems were seen when nadolol was given to pregnant rats or hamsters.
There is one reported case where this medicine was used during human pregnancy. The newborn baby had the following problems:
- Growth restriction (meaning the baby was smaller than it should have been)
- Breathing problems
- Low blood sugar
- Slow heart rate
- Low body temperature.
Such problems have also been reported with other beta blockers.

Leica Camera AG records strong revenue growth for the 2016/2017 financial year and bucks the downward trend in the camera market
The Leica Camera Group achieved revenue of almost 400 million euros in the past financial year 2016/2017 (31 March 2017) and can therefore look back very positively on the previous twelve-month period. With strong revenue growth of more than six per cent, Leica bucked the overall downward trend in the global camera market, which declined by around 10 per cent in the same period.
In the first few months of the current financial year 2017/2018, cumulative growth stands at 15 per cent, thus underscoring the positive global performance of Leica Camera AG. Despite a market environment that remains challenging, the CEO of Leica Camera AG, Matthias Harsch, once again expects a record-breaking result for the 2017/2018 financial year. As a result, the revenue of Leica Camera AG has increased more than fourfold since anchor investor and majority shareholder Dr Andreas Kaufmann came on board in 2004.
The main driver of growth is the systematic realignment of the company that has taken place in recent years. In particular, the setting up of an in-house Retail Distribution division has made a major contribution to revenue growth. Leica now has 90 monobrand stores around the world, which are vital in terms of promoting brand experience in the context of photography. 'China is our number-one growth market,' says Matthias Harsch, who is planning 20 to 30 new stores in the country alone. The Group is now strengthening its presence in the service sector with the Leica Akademie brand in order to boost the appeal of photography amongst younger target groups.
The extremely successful technology and brand partnership with Chinese company Huawei in the field of mobile phone photography makes Leica one of the world's leading providers of smartphone lens applications, a burgeoning technology segment that serves as a global basis for new product ideas and applications in photography.
The entry of Leica into the eyewear segment (glasses) – a move that was completed in 2017 – offers further potential for strong revenue growth in the years ahead. Operating under the name of Leica Eyecare, the company will systematically tap into this global market in conjunction with its technology partner Novacel.

Single-Parent Family Social Problems
Although single-parent households are now commonplace in the United States, there are still some stigmas associated with them. In a family where there is only one parent taking care of a child or multiple children, there is more pressure on the parent to find an acceptable balance between financial and child-rearing obligations. Depending on the circumstances surrounding these households, the imbalance sometimes leads to inadequate parenting and social problems for the children and parents.
Single parents who have gone through a divorce have to adapt their lives to account for the likely drop in income, change in housing or neighborhood and reduction in available time to spend with children. As opposed to lifetime single parents, divorcees are not usually accustomed to meeting day-to-day demands alone, which often causes confusion for both parents and children. It is also common for newly divorced parents to increase their use of drugs or alcohol, which could lead to criminality, an unstable environment for children and legal problems.
Children of single-parent households are more commonly involved in delinquent activities than those living in two-parent households. With the parent working one or more jobs to provide for the family, adolescents have more opportunity to be without supervision and to engage in delinquent acts, such as alcohol and drug consumption, violence, truancy and property crime. Research published in the "Journal of Research on Adolescence" by Cynthia Harper found that adolescent males who live in father-absent households are more at risk for delinquency and youth incarceration than those living in father-mother households.
Low Income
Households with only one employed parent are usually in a lower income bracket than those with two wage earners. Families who live in poverty or just above poverty level have fewer resources available to promote a healthy environment for children. Consequently, low-income families live in less-desirable neighborhoods than higher earners. These living arrangements are often characterized by violence, property crime and fewer educational opportunities. Children from low-income families are also more likely to quit school when they become old enough to get a full-time job and contribute financially to the family.
Other Factors
There are other factors that contribute to the social problems that occur in single-parent households. When a parent has been incarcerated, for example, the remaining parent and children are left to adjust to the changes associated with jail time, which can include social exclusion, lower income, prison visitations and overall confusion. When a single parent or both parents are incarcerated, children are placed with family members or in foster care, making life even more unstable. Child neglect is also more frequent when there is only one parent present in the home. This contributes to emotional and psychological issues in children throughout adolescence and into adulthood.

The name Rock and Roll was coined in Cleveland. And ever since, Cleveland has earned the title of Rock and Roll capital of the world.
Not your typical museum: The glass-enclosed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a hip-shaking, rule-breaking reminder of why Cleveland is the birthplace for this world famous music. Memorabilia immortalizes the radio DJs and recording artists who invented the genre — including plenty from the Forest City (that's Cleveland, BTW). Plus, there are plenty of nods to inductees who first broke out of Cleveland like Springsteen, Bowie and Rush. And like rock and roll itself, the multi-level museum keeps on evolving. A new exhibit, "Louder than Words: Rock, Power, and Politics," opens May 20. As its name implies, the installation traces how rock both changed and informed cultural attitudes about war, peace, equality and freedom. Meanwhile, the displays honoring this year's talented class of new Hall of Famers — including Deep Purple, N.W.A., Chicago, Steve Miller, and (about time!) Cheap Trick — are a multimedia bonanza featuring interactive content and exclusive interviews.
Pro Tip: Check out Rock Box, colorful, seven-piece speaker sets stationed along East 9th St. that will periodically blast tunes from Rock Hall inductees.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
From the moment Rock and Roll hit the airwaves, it has played a crucial role in politics and social movements around the world. From John Lennon's guitar used on "Give Peace a Chance" to Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. album cover outfit, "Louder Than Words" uses video, multimedia, photographs, periodicals, and artifacts to explore how artists exercise their First Amendment rights, challenge assumptions and beliefs, stimulate thought and effect change.
Did you know that scenes from the 1983 holiday movie A Christmas Story were filmed in house right here in Cleveland?
Attention adrenaline junkies: meet your match! Often referred to as the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World."
As one of the country's oldest football franchises, the Cleveland Browns kicked off their first season in 1946.

Retek Redux: SAP vs. Oracle is just heating up
There are a couple of lessons to be learned from the recent battle over Retek between SAP and Oracle, all of which mean that that these two rivals will continue to let their increasingly public competition be played out in the M&A market.
The first major lesson is that Oracle is clearly determined to do anything it takes in the financial markets to gain an edge against SAP, including taking on SAP in a bidding war for Retek. The PeopleSoft acquisition was clearly intended to further Oracle's competitive profile against SAP, and the Retek bid is further proof that SAP is the bulls-eye at the center of Oracle's strategic ambitions.
The second lesson is that Oracle's timing is a little off, and that lack of timing is hurting the company's plans. Oracle claims it too was thinking about buying Retek, and only launched its bid after SAP got in the game. This is exactly where Oracle found itself in June 2003: jumping in to buy PeopleSoft only after PeopleSoft had already launched its friendly takeover of J.D. Edwards. The TomorrowNow acquisition by SAP – bringing in-house a company that can take over PeopleSoft maintenance contracts and thereby undercut one of the main financial premises of Oracle's acquisition of PeopleSoft – also caught Oracle, and everyone else, completely by surprise.
These two facts lead me to believe that the Retek counter-bid is hardly Oracle's last swipe at SAP. On the contrary, I expect Oracle to act as preemptively as possible in its battles against SAP in the coming months. The lack of timing that Oracle has shown in the M&A business must be galling to Larry Ellison – this is a man who owns some of the fastest racing boats and cars in the world, and tried, and failed, to import one of the fastest jet fighters in the world as well. Speed is a raison d'etre to Captain Ellison, and he truly hates to be outmaneuvered, whether on his America's Cup-class boat or at the helm of his software company.
So what's next for Oracle vs. SAP? I'd put my money on the mid-market. This is one of the battlegrounds where neither company is achieving its potential, and where a couple of relatively successful rivals – Microsoft and SSA – are lurking, anxious to play the spoiler for Oracle's and SAP's ambitions. It could be a consulting/reseller acquisition – a company that has deep experience in the mid-market and can bring Oracle in contact with mid-market customers in a way that its direct salesforce can't. Or it could be a vendor with a big mid-market customer base. Either way, the Retek battle is setting a precedent for what will be a long-term fight for the future of enterprise software. May the vendor with the deepest pockets and strongest intestinal fortitude win.

Recently I ran into an interesting website, www.eoearth.org. On this website there is various information and one page in particular talked about Climate Change (collection). While reading this webpage I ran into another link for a timeline. Well I do love my history so I clicked on it, it actually is quite informative and shows how long climate research has really been going on. Take a look!
Climate Change Timeline

I just read a new article : Climate is right for emissions law where New Zealand's first major piece of climate change legislation becomes law this week causing businesses and consumers to change their thinking about energy, technology and their economy. "Some businesses, though, genuinely can't change quickly. They have no technology options or they face too much overseas competition. Rightly, the climate change legislation has mechanisms to help them in the medium term." With many big challenges still ahead, New Zealand is taking steps to reduce it's emissions and it's carbon footprint. This is good news, and a good article.
Thanks for all the positive comments on my June post, I glad people find it useful. Also, I appreciate the information about New Zealand and their first major piece of climate change legislation. I happy to see the effort, but still question effectiveness. Like most countries, there is plenty of politics to muddle through. This is also stated in the given link, but it sounds like a new and promising system. I will wait and see what happens. I just hope the mud doesn't get so thick that the effort is stopped altogether.
I think a large part (so not all) of the recent climate change on Earth has to due with human activity, including the exponential rate of increase that has occurred since the industrial revolution. Yes, Earth has it's own cycles, but I think humans are accelerating that process at an alarming rate. In reality, most of our problems can be traced to population growth. Things are not balanced in the Earth system equation of input and output. Anyway, I could go on forever. Basically I think the large global human population is tipping the natural balance of Earth. Solutions, well there are many options that can be argued for centuries, hopefully something happens.
thanks to all the positive feedback I think it's easy to be happy people. In addition, New Zealand, the first big piece of legislation on climate change, and thank you for the information. I find that efforts to satisfy this effect is still questionable. As with most of the country for a variety of politics is to stay in any way. This can not find a particular link, but it sounds like a system with a new hope. I'm waiting to see what happens when. I tried to stop the mud is not expected to have the interval.
thank you for the great relevancy article!

To everyone else – As always, thanks for the comments, love, love that people are enjoy the blog and what I post. Haven't posted for a while, I hope to post soon. COMPS II, graduate school stuff, is keeping me busy.
Kitty 1980, thank you for you comment and information. I am also concerned for the global implications of climate change and hope the new Administration in the US emulates what the EU is doing to mitigate the environmental consequences. Also, I hope the US, in general, looks at what other countries are doing to see what works and what doesn't work.

Scrapbooking score board (for pleating rosettes-can be done by hand instead)
Alarm clock or clock face (optional)
Paper towels
1. Apply the eagle stencil to the middle of the circle.
2. Cut a strip of the smallest stars from the Etch Bath stencil sheet. Pull the strip up off the backing paper. We are only using the outer material from the strip, so remove the stars from inside the strip. Carefully cut apart the strip into squares with one hollowed out star stencil in each square.
3. Apply the star stencils equally around the glass circle. The stars opening should be at least 3/8 inch from the edge so they do not get covered by the frame later.(TIP: to distribute the stars equally, use an alarm clock to place one at 12 o clock-3-6-9 etc)
4. Mask off all around all stencils overlapping the edges. Cover the back with tape as well
5. PAT the Armour Etch cream on the stencils with a brush (do not brush the cream on) View the directions and How To Videos.
6. Wait 5 minutes. Rinse off the cream under very warm running water. Once all visible cream is gone, remove the stencils and tape. Pat the eagle stencil dry on paper towels and return to the carrier sheet. Dry and set glass aside
7. Make the rosettes: If you have a scoring board, score and pleat the strips of cardstock. Score the red, smaller white and blue cardstock strips into quarter inch pleats (or make the pleats by hand). Take the larger white strip and score and fold into 1/2 inch pleats. Glue ends together (we punched a decorative edge on the white ones before pleating. You could also use decorative edged scissors) Lay the cardstock circles on the table. Gather up the joined pleated strip on top of a cardstock circle base ( use 2 inch circles for the smaller rosettes and the 3 inch circle for the large white one). Force the pleated strip into a tight circle to form the rosette. Squeeze hot glue down through the hole that formed in the middle and hold the rosette until set. Hot glue the rosettes togetherone on top of the other to form a stack. Start with the largest white one on the bottom, then blue, smaller white and red on top. Set aside
8. Frame the glass circle: With a pencil, trace the outside of the glass circle onto the backside of the red metallic foil cardstock on one end. Enlarge the circle 1/2 inch around the outside with a ruler, and measure 1/4 inch inside the tracing to make a smaller circle. Cut the circle out on the outer most lines and the inner most (not the original tracing line) with the art knife to form a ring. Trace the ring onto the remaining piece of red foil cardstock and cut out so you have 2 pcs the same. Lay one of the rings face down on the table. Lay a bead of hot glue around the inner edge of the ring and lay the glass circle into the glue while it is still wet. Apply the white glue to the rest of the backside of the ring. Lay a bead of hot glue to the back inner edge of the 2nd ring and lay face up on the glass circle, sandwiching the glass circle in between the two rings. Press together until white glue is set.
9. Assembling the trophy: Apply the strip of rhinestones around the edge where the ring and glass meet (see picture) framing the glass. You can apply them to both sides if you like, but we did only the front. Take the red marker and color the raw edges around the outside edge of the frame where the two haves are joined so the grey cardstock core does not show. To insert the frame into the rosette stack, find the halfway point of the top rosette. Make a slit in the raised peak of the fold on either side of the hole long enough to slide the frame into the slot. Squeeze some hot glue into the slot and quickly insert the frame into the slot. Make sure the eagle in the frame is straight up. Hold until set.
10. Decorate the trophy: Hot glue the flags and stars as shown on each side and sandwich them together at the edges. Lightly brush some white glue over the top of the ruffles on the rosettes and sprinkle with glitter.
Have a Great fourth of July!.

I traded my 2013 Navigator in on the Palisade Limlited. Navigator was a nice ride but had both pros. and cons. I find the Palisade roomy and a very smooth ride. I am 6 feet tall at about 195 pounds 81 years old and I got into the 3rd. row seat just to try it out. I had good leg and head room and it was even better when I reclined the seat. No I don't think you will be disappointed. I feel you will take a " liken " to it just like I did. On the color.. if they only had one combo. we would have no choices.. You like it go for it..!!!

Popular for home, office and industrial use, zip lock bags are manufactured and distributed by several recognizable companies as well as smaller brands providing accessible and affordable options for all plastic bag sealing needs.
Food, archival, parts, shipping and storage industries are among the most fervent users of zip lock bags. To accommodate the many uses for zip lock or lock top bags, most manufacturers produce them in several different standardized sizes. Common domestic sizes include snack, sandwich, quart and gallon bags.
Industrial bags are often much larger while other archival baggies are often very small. As a secure seal is essential, some bags have two different colored seams which are easily identified when open and become a different color when the closure is properly sealed. Common alternatives include the use of twist ties and heat-sealed or shrink-wrapped bags.
Twist ties are useful, but do not provide the durable and impermeable seal of the zipper lock. Heat-sealed or shrink-wrapped options create an effective seal, but are not reclosable or resealable bags as zip lock bags may be.
Not all, but most zip lock bags are made to be resealed and even reused any number of times. Durable materials must therefore be used in the construction of both the bag and attached locking devices. Polypropylene and polyethylene are most frequently used for the film-like bag component.
The plastic resin is melted until it becomes pliable or even to temperatures which produce a viscous fluid. Casting, winding, sheet or blown film extrusion may then be used. The seal is formed in a mold. Thicker, stronger plastic is used, though it may have a base material similar to that used for the film. A male track is fixed to one side of the opening of the bag while the female track is placed parallel on the adjacent edge.
The tracks connect together like puzzle pieces when pressure is applied either manually or through the use of a plastic slider. The fastening capabilities vary among the many manufacturers of zip lock bags, but all require a significant tug to part the closure of a properly sealed bag. It is important to consider the durability of a seal as well as the plastic material used in overall bag construction to ensure the proper unit is used.

I've a small confession to make. This article was the byproduct of another article I was writing for one more publication. Once I'm not writing for Hubpages or making brief stories to make individuals question their sanity, I am writing for the Echobase site. I think probably the most advanced applied sciences will likely be using stem cells to print food.

However I'm positive it can change into useful someday within the distant future.

Because sometimes enough is enough and you gotta have some sunshine and nothing will do quite so well as chocolate, I offer this recipe for gluten-free brownies that will knock your socks off and keep your brain and mood fog-free.
San Francisco is traditionally a foggy town in the summer time; I have never fully adapted. To me, summers are supposed to be hot, and if they're not, something is seriously wrong. So although the fog is deliciously mysterious and wonderfully cooling after a couple of 105 degree months in the dry Sierra foothills, I really love the sun and gotta get me some.
The same is true for chocolate. We know how to build our serotonin – and if you don't, call me because it is one of my specialties and I would love to help you boost yours naturally – so we don't go around jonesing for chocolate every afternoon at 4:20 like some other folks spark up their spliffs – still we love our chocolate. Chocolate not only jacks up serotonin levels briefly but sends our endorphin levels temporarily through the roof. Endorphins are our natural feel-good brain chemicals. They activate our reward and pleasure centers. Endorphin levels soar when we are training hard, in love, or having an orgasm. What's not to love about endorphins? What's not to love about chocolate? Chocolate is filled with antioxidants, containing as much as three times the amount found in green tea, and thereby offering protection against premature aging, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Cacao is a super source of serotonin and dopamine. Though we wouldn't want to rely on chocolate for our natural feel-good sensations, and can do this more effectively and sustainably through Neuro-Nutrient Therapy, there is a time and place for our sweet cacao treats.
And while we're on the subject, what's the whole deal on gluten anyway? More and more people are turning out to be gluten intolerant. Gluten is a type of protein in wheat, rye, barley and in lesser amounts in several other grains. For people who have Celiac's disease, an autoimmune condition that commonly features malabsorption, brain fog and mood disorders, consuming even small amounts of gluten can be life threatening. Even people without Celiac's, however, may find that eating wheat contributes to brain fog, anxiety, depression, fatigue and digestive disorders. Wheat is very hard on the thyroid gland, which is key to our metabolic (energy conversion) system. The reason is that wheat has been highly hybridized in recent years and now contains much higher quantities of the gluten proteins, which have benefit for texture and elasticity, bringing air and rise to bread products. Our bodies may just not have adapted to digesting such large quantities of these proteins. If you are one of those who suspect you are having trouble with wheat, you may eat these brownies without concern. As an added bonus, these brownies are made without sugar, so anyone with adrenal fatigue can have a treat without tanking reserves of those increasingly precious stress hormones!
A note about the Pamela's gluten-free baking mix: this mix contains some buttermilk, so please choose another favorite gluten-free baking mix if you are following a dairy-free lifestyle. I can recommend the Gluten-Free Pantry baking mix and pie mix for taste and texture.
San Francisco Fog-Free Chocolate Brownies

In my previous post I shared my nail art for Teddy Day. Here I am going to share how I created teddy bear on my thumb nail. You can see full manicure HERE.
Step by Step Nail art >>>
1- Start with a thin paint and brush and draw a rough outline. I used a picture from google as my base.
2- Once you are happy darken the outline and fill colors.To make mouth, ears and eye area use a lighter shade then body color.
3- Next outline with a very thin black color and a fine brush. Add all the details like nose and eyes etc.
4- Highlight some parts with white color and write LOVE on the heart if you wish to.
5- Lastly don't forget to apply at-least 2 coats of top coat and you are done !!
Note: If you are not sure first practice on a piece of paper. Draw a nail of your size and draw so you get the idea !! Hope it helps.
|Thin outline first
|Darken it
|further correction

|Start making outline and add nose eyes and mouth !

Astrology Tattoos
Astrology Tattoos, also known as Horoscope Tattoos or Zodiac Tattoos, are ideal for people who believe in how the stars and planetalign with each other to influencetheir lives. Since there are 12 Zodiac signs, a tattoo of your astrological symbol is considered personal, unique, and different. There are many styles to choose from, the first of which is an astrology tattoo that represents your Zodiac sign; the Ram is for Aries, the Bull is for Taurus, the Twins for Gemini, the Crab for Cancer, the Lion for Leo, the Virgin for Virgo, the Scales for Libra, the Scorpion for Scorpio, the Archer for Sagittarius, the Goat for Capricorn, the Water Bearer for Aquarius and the Fish for Pisces.
Another style of tattoos of Astrology involves the Greek signs of the Zodiac. It doesn't have to be as colorful and as detailed as the literal interpretation of your sign. It can be drawn in a single color, or can be made as an accent on another type of ink. Examples include the Ram's head-similar to the symbol of Aries, the Roman numeral 2-like symbol of Gemini, the ornate M-like character of Scorpio, and the H-like symbol of Pisces. You can have a big one emblazoned on your chest, back and upper arms, or a subtle design on your neck, nape or ankle.

I installed a new hard drive on my laptop computer (Dell Inspirion 6000) I then installed XP Home Edition Service Pack 2. In Device Manager my ethernet controller, multimedia audio controller, network controller, (video controller - this has an red x thru yellow question mark) and video controller(VGACompatible) has yellow question marks next to them. I can not get on Internet from that computer, so i used aother computer, went to dell and downloaded all the drivers they specfied you would need after installing a new xp program. I downloaded the notebook, chipset, video, broadcom driver,quikset, audio, modem, wireless card, touchpad. I downloaded drivers to a removable storage device, transfered them to the desktop of my laptop. When I Idoubleclick the icon a Open With box appears that list Internet Explorer(which i can not access) Notepad, Paint, Windows Media Player, Windows picture. and Wordpad and a browse option. Questions: Do I need to install the entire list of drivers Dell specify ? Where does the Notebook and Chipset drivers go to, those are indicated to go in first and second install order. How do i install the drivers when the Open With box comes up. The more I read and research I become more confused. The xp program I used is an xp program sent from Dell but for my Dell Desktop, not my laptop, also sent was drivers and utilities cd's but im unsure if the laptop and desktop has same drivers and utilities so I have not tried to use those driver cd's Can Someone please assist me I need this computer for school. Thank You
open an explorer window then go to tools/folder options/view and show file extentions. What are the file extentions of the drivers? If they are .zip or .rar you will need a program like 7zip to extract them.
if they are .exe then the .exe file extention is not associated correctly
If you can not get on internet from the laptop there must be a way to access the internal modem if you can not because there is no modem then that is what you should focus on or use a usb connection from the other computer and download what you need from there the gist is you need to have outside support so I would fix your modem and then the products you have obtained can be opened with internet support and away you go
I have already downloaded drivers from computer with internet access and transfered them to my laptop. I need to know how to install them. Open With windows comes up and im lost after that. on previous occasions when I installed drivers when I clicked on them they had an self-extracting wizard that did the installation process. I believe that was thru the Download Manager which i can not access. The Open With windows comes up, don't know installation process with this window.
"Weeda"... as "jgreenkc" suggested #1 open any folder or "My Computer"
... in the folder window top row click "tools" (tab) then folder options then view (tab)
... uncheck "Hide extensions of known file types" click "Apply"
... then post back the downloaded filename.extension......thx
... Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties
Grrrr... ...im
Thank you to everybody who responded to my problem. I have gotten everything solved and the computer is working like a charm. This site is great, I shall bookmark it, put it in my favorites and will return if any other problems occur
Thanks again
Well....What was the solution? Please share so that others who have the same problem can solve their's.

I would suppose truly helping folks as in legal help or other non-revenue regulation offices would be extremely gratifying, as exhausting as it is. I say this, though I have two associates who're legal aid legal professionals, but do largely criminal protection. The first key point of the case argues that the removal of authorized support for a small variety of important Parole Board instances is illegal. We provide authorized assistance to low earnings individuals across the state of Wyoming.
As a result of Legal Services' advocacy, low-wage taxpayers prevented paying greater than $1 million in taxes wrongfully claimed due in 2014. Read the MEDIA COVERAGE of the case, details which the Law Society of Scotland and several Edinburgh regulation corporations tried to bury. Rule 378 prescribes the best way through which functions for legal aid are to be made and rule 378A the proof to be adduced in support. Following this, the Malawi Law Society expressed dismay on the invoice's passing, and Lilongwe lawyer Wapona Kita filed for an injunction , which was granted on 20 June, to prevent President Mutharika from signing the invoice into regulation.
As a university major in legal research and an aspiring future attorney, please belief me on this – it's the greatest recommendation that you will get on this forum : contact a Florida lawyer – do not take heed to any advice given on the internet; it can be very damaging! These kids won't ever be complete as a result of they weren't given the prospect to turn into productive members of society.

This epidemic of claims of abuse of children caught in such conditions, (household breakups) versus youngsters, who are suffering actual abuse , desensitizes the general public and governmental businesses and permits real and harmful criminals to cover and function with digital impunity in our society.
