This first bird is a Scaley-breasted Lorikeet. It is only the second time I have seen these birds in my yard and this one was a lucky chance! I heard Rainbow Lorikeets in my callistemon trees and when I went out with my camera I also saw a couple of Scaley-breasted Lorikeets. They are a little smaller than the Rainbow Lorikeets and a bit quieter - but just as hard to photograph among the leaves.
This bird is not such a good find. It is a Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis). These birds were brought in to Australia back in the 1860's. At first they spread through the cities but then started taking over country areas. The trouble is that they displace native birds and small mammals. They compete for nesting hollows in trees and usually win! We have not had them here where I live until very recently and this bird was one of a pair that came into my back yard last week. I opened the door and took a couple of quick pictures but when I tried to get closer both birds quickly took off.
I photographed this third bird out at Inskip the other morning. (It was a beautiful morning but unfortunately I came home and had to go back to bed! I wish this flu would go quickly!) While I was watching, it dragged itself up on the sand and sat there apparently exhausted. It is a Shearwater but I am not sure beyond that exactly which kind it is.
There have been numbers of recent reports of Shearwaters found dead and dying on the beaches in NSW and southern Qld. The birding New Zealand forum also has been reporting dead and dying birds over there. I can only imagine how many birds are dead if they are reported from both Australia and New Zealand! It is not known yet if the birds are dying from an extreme weather event or if they are starving because the fish are not around. Many people are saying that the oceans are being over-fished and it may already be too late to reverse the trend. This article is written by a yachtsman and tells of what they found on a recent trip from Australia to Japan and then over to the USA. He titled his article "The Ocean Is Broken" and gives quite horrible details. It is not a good outlook for any of our oceans!

Zzzappp. There it is. That spark of attraction. It hits you the first time you spot him. You glance at him, quickly scanning him up and down, checking for any flaws or imperfections that might cause you to think twice, but nothing catches your eye in a negative way.
Your eyes meet. You smile.
If he smiles back, you raise your eyes to meet his again. If not, you let your brain move to the next thing on your agenda for the day.
But he does smile back. So now you want to properly take him in, but it would be too obvious now to let your eyes lazily wander across his body. So you allow your gaze to occasionally dart in various directions, trying to piece each snapshot into one cohesive picture, while maintaining eye contact.
He introduces himself. This is your one big shot. Within, your internal organs breathe a sigh of relief while simultaneously tensing at the prospect of you messing this up when you open your mouth.
For oh, tis a merry dance we dance.

An instructor needs a document that was submitted by a student who is no longer in the class.
An instructor needs a document that was submitted by a student who is no longer in the class.
This depends on how your school is using Blackboard.
If you are managed hosted, you can submit a ticket in Behind the Blackboard asking that support gets a "restored" version of that particular course space close to the date the student was removed from the roster.
Another approach might be to check in your test or stage version to see if the document is still there. Success there will rely on the content of your test version being stake enough to include that file still.
If your school is running SaaS, Ultra, etc I do not know how that could be recovered.
I concur--in our system (managed hosted) students are set to the status "disabled" when they drop. That leaves them, and their submitted work, still available for situations like these. Our LMS administrator briefly "re-enables" the student in the course, the instructor gathers what is needed (usually grades or assignments, or proof that nothing was submitted) and the student is again set to disabled status.
We've also had instances where there was significant content that needed to be re-accessed, or the instructor had inadvertently deleted the submitted assignment, etc. In those cases, Managed Hosting was able to create a Restore for us, as long as we can give a date within 30 days when the content was still there.

***Note: The items that state "removed in HoW" are items that were possible drops in the original, pre-expansion version of IWD. The Heart of Winter (HoW) expansion modified many of the loot tables, including Fleezum's. If DSimpson is correct (and I have every reason to believe that he is), then the Shocking Flail +4 got removed as a possible drop from Fleezum by HoW. In fact, HoW appears to have removed the Shocking Flail +4 from the game entirely. The Morningstar +4: Defender is still a possible drop though.DSimpson's FAQ: said:

@Lord_Tansheron did you knew what magic items you would get the first time you played BG? Now thats the same for IWD, just not the first time, but every time.
This is definitely an issue. Sometimes the choice is between weapon+2/weapon+2/weapon+2 and simply different types, but there's also chests where it's like weapon+1/weapon+2/mage scroll and similar stuff. Getting a Ghost Armor Scroll instead of a Longbow+2 for example can really mess up your flow (actual example from the Temple of the Forgotten God).DreadKhan said:
This wouldn't matter other than these drops being some of the best gear around. I like the randomization when it doesn't poop on you too often, but getting non-magic swords instead of a cool +2 Longsword really blows.

Loans closed in the month of February had relatively higher FICO scores than last fall while loan-to-value ratios remained flat, according to the most recent Ellie Mae (ELLI) origination insight report.
Ellie Mae said 67% of the loans moving through its Encompass360 mortgage management software were classified as refinancings in February, up from 64% when the report was last published in November.
Purchase applications, meanwhile, declined from 36% in November to 33% in February.
Ellie Mae's mortgage management software is able to track loan characteristics by studying the nearly 2 million loans that passed through its loan management software in 2011.
The latest report shows the percent of loans classified as Federal Housing Administration mortgages and conventional loans remaining flat at 25% and 67%, respectively, when comparing the month of February to November.
On average, loans are closing at a faster pace, with closings taking just 44 days to complete in February, down from 46 days in November and 40 days in August of last year.
The profile of borrowers also changed in the past several months, with the average FICO score on loans closed in February rising over loans approved last fall and last summer.
They hit 750 in February, up from 748 in November and 741 in August. Loan-to-value ratios on closed loans remained the same at 76% in February.
When studying denied mortgage applications, Ellie Mae found borrowers who did not qualify for loans had an average FICO score of 699 in February, compared to 704 in November and 696 in August 2011. Meanwhile, loan-to-value ratios on denied applications hit 83%, slightly up from 82% in November.

How Good are Import Guitars? Japanese vs Korean Guitars
January 30, 2013 by Paul Heller · Leave a Comment
Every guitar player, at some point or another, aspires to own one of the top brand-name instruments on the market, whether made by Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Paul Reed Smith or anyone else. In some ways, the guitar one plays becomes an identifying symbol; Stevie Ray Vaughn, for instance, was seldom seen with anything other than a Fender Stratocaster in his hands. Not many people could pick Peter Frampton out of a lineup today, but they know he played a Gibson Les Paul. Read more

May 19, 2011 by Paul Heller · 4 Comments
2011 may well be remembered by guitar and amp aficionados as the Year of the Micro.

Hauling your amp from home to the bar, or from home to the studio, and back again has never been easier. It has also never sounded so good. Read more

Battle of Ibanez: RG2EX1 vs. RG321 – fight!
May 16, 2009 by Mike O'Cull · Leave a Comment
Since 1986 the masters at Ibanez hit their stride with the RG body style, and have been leaving a trail of wannabe guitar carcass road kill on the highway of rock ever since. I remember seeing my friends with their RG550 models and saying to myself "one day, I'll own one too". Fast forward 23 years to find that Ibanez has not rested on its past success. They have also been smart enough to start making budget guitars, starting with the EX series, almost from day two. This is part of what has brought undying loyalty and a fan base some rock stars, and other guitar makers, could only dream to achieve. Read more

The Unacceptable Costs of Drug Testing Welfare Applicants
By Deborah Mackto
Florida has been hit hard by the deterioration of the nation's economic condition. The recession and resulting unemployment has created the need for more families to apply for public assistance during a time when the State is facing significant budget deficits. On May 31st of this year Governor Richard Scott signed legislation into law that requires all applicants for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to submit to, pay a fee for and pass a drug test by urine sample. Governor Scott said, "It's the right thing for citizens of this state that need public assistance. We don't want to waste tax dollars. And also, we want to give people an incentive to not use drugs" (Florida Governor Signs Welfare Drug-screen Measure). However, testing welfare applicants violates the United States Constitution, causes catastrophic emotional and financial hardship on our neediest citizens, fails to address Florida's most dire drug dependency problem and wastes tax dollars at a time that we can least afford it. The potential benefits of this legislation are dwarfed by the costs and negative consequences.
The negative consequences will be catastrophic to families who are the victims of false positive tests. The cost of potential false positive tests cannot be ignored. An example is found in the case of Elizabeth Mort. Elizabeth is not a drug user but because she ate an "Everything Bagel" containing poppy seeds two hours before she went into labor, her baby was taken from her only one day after her birth. The hysterical and confused parents were given no information on where their baby was taken and for five agonizing days did not know what had gone wrong or what to do about it. Nothing will repair the emotional scars caused by a flawed policy and a false positive drug test (Sullum). Under the new law the neediest of Florida's citizens, those least able to defend themselves, will face the same kind of nightmare simply because they need financial assistance. Catastrophic emotional consequences due to false positive drug tests are not an acceptable risk to a civil society.
A civil society cannot assume that its least fortunate people, those who are in need of financial aid, are wasting aid dollars on drugs. A study by the University of Florida indicates that welfare recipients are no more likely to be drug abusers than the general population (Crew, Davis). The same study tells us that 97 percent of those tested will pass a drug screening. Opiates and other dangerous drugs leave the body quickly, some in as little as one day (Drugs of Abuse Reference Guide). A determined drug abuser would only need to abstain from drug use for a few days to pass drug testing.
Just as the most determined drug abuser will not be hampered by drug testing, the most dangerous and pervasive drug of this decade is not addressed by the legislation because this drug is a product of the pill-mills prescribing Oxycontin (Collins). Drug abusers of Oxycontin have prescriptions from these pill mills and will pass drug screenings. For these reasons the most serious and dangerous drugs are missed or excluded by drug testing while the innocent ingestion of a poppy seed muffin will cause families to be entangled in the underfunded Department of Children and Families with devastating consequences. In the small number of cases where an applicant with a serious drug problem tests positive for an illegal drug, the law only requires they be given a pamphlet with treatment information. According to the official legislative summary of the law it does not provide for treatment, counseling or resources of any kind to rehabilitate the offender ("Florida House of Representatives - Documents").
In addition to being ineffective against real drug users and ignoring the legality of our most common drug abuse, the law is unconstitutional. The legislative summary declares that, "The bill raises important constitutional questions related to the permissibility of suspicionless drug testing as a condition of public assistance." Indeed there have been numerous court rulings declaring similar suspicionless drug testing unconstitutional and a violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America (Drug Testing of Public Assistance Recipients as a Condition of Eligibility). The Fourth Amendment protects us against search and seizure without probable cause. The collection of urine and other bodily fluids by government agencies is considered search and seizure and is prohibited unless there is reasonable suspicion, a warrant, or when a concern for public safety is present. The state of Michigan attempted random testing of welfare recipients citing the special condition of public safety and was challenged in court by the ACLU. The Court ruled that there was not a public safety issue that would exempt Michigan from the prohibition against warrantless search and seizure. Michigan's law was struck the law down as unconstitutional and since that ruling no other state has attempted drug testing of welfare recipients without cause. (Marchwinski v. Howard quot. in ACLU).
Unlike Michigan, Florida is not attempting to make a case for a public safety condition and rather than random testing has ordered blanket testing of all applicants. This is a blatant violation of the intent of the Fourth Amendment which the ACLU has pledged to challenge. It is widely believed that the courts will again rule against suspicionless search and seizure. It will be a disastrous erosion of our constitutional rights if the law is not struck down. If such an unlikely event were to occur it is certain that anyone receiving public assistance of any kind will eventually be subject to random or blanket drug testing including but not limited to unemployment benefits, subsidized housing, Medicaid, Medicare, disability, health care vouchers, student loans and Pell grants. If the sacrifice of constitutional rights is allowed because politicians, however well-intentioned find it convenient to do so, we stand to lose the foundation upon which our country was founded and the freedom we too often take for granted in America.
A dollar value cannot be place on freedom. Governor Scott's remarks after signing the bill tell us that his motivation is to save tax dollars. He was elected based on promises to cut costs. Given the mood of the electorate and the legislature that sent the bill to him can be assumed to have similar motivation. Indeed it is a fact that tax-payers want to save money and that the State must reduce waste. With the current budget crunch many people are frustrated with government waste. Nobody wants to see tax money spent on illegal drugs when it could be used to hire teachers, improve infrastructure or reduce debt. It is easy to see why someone who hears about the law initially may believe it is a good idea, but when the facts and figures are analyzed it becomes clear that rather than saving tax-payer money, this law will have a high net cost to Florida tax-payers.
It may seem that having welfare applicants pay a fee for their own drug test would prevent the program from costing the state money however most aid applicants will pass the drug tests and under the law the state will reimburse them the fee. The cost of testing alone is conservatively estimated at between $560,000 to $1,400,000 with some estimates as high as $44,000,000 per year (Miller, Hendrie). The financial cost of administration of the testing program is not addressed in the legislation nor have resources been allocated for it. The Department of Children and Families has been charged with the responsibility of implementing and administering tests as well as investigating when an applicant tests positive. DCF will have to decide who can be designated as a payee for the dependents of the applicant until the applicant is able to pass the test. This means a social worker must be assigned to interview family members. The Department of Children and Families has the primary responsibility of making sure children are not in danger so in the case of positive test results investigations must be done to ensure children are not in a dangerous environment. That will cost additional money and mistakes will be made. There are in fact, no financial savings at all associated with this law. Even when a welfare applicant tests positive the Department of Children and Families will investigate and designate an alternate payee for the dependents and benefits will still be paid (Florida House of Representatives – Documents). The law requiring the testing of welfare applicants has only net costs and those costs are too high.
The costs of our constitutional rights, the cost of the devastating emotional consequences of false positives and the financial cost to implement, administer and defend it are unacceptable. Government cannot, according to the United States Constitution, subject our poorest citizens to unreasonable search and seizure based solely on financial need. The state of Florida cannot afford the waste of tax dollars on flawed legislation that will hurt its citizens and create a bureaucratic administrative disaster. We cannot afford the cost of our humanity. We cannot denigrate the rights of our neediest people. As Gandhi, Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Roger Mahoney and other great leaders have expressed, a humane society has an obligation to its least fortunate, an obligation we must all heed as we may one day find ourselves among them.

The Greatest Political Evil…
…remains unchecked.
My hopes for a united United States continues to smolder deep in a pile of wasted ash. In the next election I may just vote against every incumbent running; Unless their opposition is too repugnant to pull the lever.
Where are the founding fathers when you need them?
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, it to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
—John Adams
A Letter From The New President - To His Daughters
Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.
I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.
I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.
Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free—that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.
That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.
She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better—and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.
I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much—although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.
These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.
Love, Dad
A Scientific Analysis of Recent Polling Data
It's Over
And Hillary knows it. At this point we can only speculate why she has declared her intention to campaign in West Virginia and Oregon this next week. My guess is that she hopes to recoup some of the millions she donated to herself.
Her firstname.lastname@example.com speech in Indianapolis last night reminded me of when Oral Roberts declared God told him he would die if he didn't raise some number of millions of dollars. Back then my pastor, Wayne Smith, promoted a bumper sticker reading: "Send Oral To Heaven In 87″.
I loved Wayne Smith.
Democratic party leaders should be as wise as Pastor Smith. He knew when to stand up to the power players. They should have to the courage to stand up to the Clintons and call it what it is. Panhandling and positioning herself for 2012, even if that means damaging Obama, the Democratic party or America itself.
The fat lady sang, they can tell her they saw it here.
Indiana, Are You Listening?
UPDATE Part IV: (I post this first to give Mr. Kantor the benefit of the doubt. Updates 1-3 are below the original post)
I just read Kantor's defense and he certainly seems adament about never having used /that/ word.
Then again, so did Mark Ferman. Still.. I would like to believe him. Maybe the second slur was doctored rather than enhanced. When I crank the volume I hear it but I won't rule out the possibility that I am hearing it because I am predisposed to after watching the first video.
The first slur "Those people are shit" seems, to my hearing, maybe saying "Those people are shit(or shitting)..(unintelligible) Whitehouse." This would tend to put the second slur out of context and so I am left wondering, Did he, or Didn't he.
My thinking on this now is that someone with the equipment needs to enhance the soundtrack so this man is exonnerated if he is innocent and put out to pasture if he is not.
Original Post:
If not, it doesn't matter, according to Clinton adviser Mickey Kantor.
Looking at polls in the documentary, The War Room, Kantor is seen with James Carville and George Stephanopolis. You know, the very same George Stephanopolis that moderated the ABC Ambush (debate) and will be hosting the 60 minutes Hillary Infomercial (town hall) in Indianapolis on Sunday, hours before voting begins.
Kantor says, "It doesn't matter. Those people are shit."
He looks up and says, "Oh, excuse me."
Then he leans over near George and says conspiratorially, "How would you like to be a worthless white nigger?"
With the cameras rolling…
The video is
gone back (but without subtitles):
However if you watch documentary, The War Room (1992), crank the sound up when Kantor enters the picture and watch his lips carefully.
Here is the relevant clip from the documentary, Kantor enters at 4:37.
Wonder how long till they pull this clip.
ABC has pulled its story. Here is a screen shot of what was here (http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/05/clinton-informa.html) an hour or so ago.
And here it is now:
UPDATE Part III:
It's ba-ack. (Only different.)
Update: Barracks at Fort Bragg
"They just did 15 months for you, give them 15 minutes of your time."
I can't say it any better than the Dad of a soldier did in this video.
Update: Here is some salve for the disillusioned soul; proof one man can make a difference.
Army widens probe after finding bad conditions at Fort Bragg
.. Rogers said it was too soon to know whether the Fort Bragg problem was an isolated incident. He acknowledged the revelations from a video shot by the father of an 82nd Airborne Division soldier showing poor conditions such as mold inside the barracks, peeling interior paint and a bathroom drain plugged with sewage.
The soldier's father, Ed Frawley, said he was disgusted by the conditions that greeted his son and the rest of his 82nd Airborne unit that returned on April 7-8 after a 15-month tour of duty in Afghanistan.
"We let our soldiers down, and that's not like us," Rogers told reporters. "We let our soldiers down. That's not how we want America's sons and daughters to live. There's no good excuse for what happened."
Hillary Busted Using Push Poll
You can hear the evidence and read the story here, here and here.
In order to ensure adequate righteous outrage at this tactic, I provide to you the following definition from Wikipedia. Please pay particular attention to the highlighted keywords.
A push poll is a political campaign technique in which an individual or organization attempts to influence or alter the view of respondents under the guise of conducting a poll. In a push poll, large numbers of respondents are contacted, and little or no effort is made to collect and analyze response data. Instead, the push poll is a form of telemarketing-based propaganda and rumor mongering, masquerading as a poll. Push polls are usually the "innuendo" manifestation of knowledge gleaned from opposition research on an opponent. generally viewed as a form of negative campaigning. Push polling has been condemned by the American Association of Political Consultants, and is illegal in New Hampshire.
Now let's review the keywords along with some synonyms:
- Guise - cloak, cover, disguise, false colors, front, mask, masquerade, pretense, pretext, semblance, veil, veneer
- Propaganda - misinformation, distortion, lies, rabble rousing, fear-mongering, demagoguery
- Rumor mongering - Gossiping, scuttlebutt, innuendo, misinforming, calling fire in a crowded theater, crying wolf
- Masquerading - a false outward show, false appearance, pretend to be someone or something that you are not
- Innuendo - insinuation, implication, incrimination
- Negative campaigning - Bush, Rove, Clinton
- Condemned - wrong, guilty, worthless, unacceptable
- Illegal - against the law, prohibited, criminal
And now you know.
What Ever Happened To The Sunshine State?
Remember the days when states each had one license plate, proudly declaring something special about its people or place? Florida was The Sunshine State, Missouri was The Show Me State, Kentucky - The Bluegrass State, New York - The Empire State.
Gone are those days.
Florida long ago abandoned it's claim to sunshine in favor of saving the whales, the turtles, the dolphins, the panthers, the manatees, the everglades, bears, the Buccaneers, and unborn children.
Now a new plate is being debated, the "I Believe" plate. Considering that we already have 8,342 plates, I have to say, this isn't much more than shrug worthy - until another group applies for the "God Is Dead" plate. And you know its going to happen.
Florida will be sorry it didn't stick to sunshine.

The 13 Best home business Products to Sell From Home
Home businesses have made selling products from home quite popular. Multi-level Marketing or direct sales companies have created a business model that have exploded the home business opportunities of selling from home.
These have created entrepreneurs who have little skills or not enough startup capital to build their business from scratch possible.
There are two products you can sell from home, some are consumables and non-consumable goods.
Some consumables products are perishable or have a limited lifespan and may require you use them daily and need to be replaced daily.
What products can you sell from home? Below are the ten industries that not only provide not provide the products to sell from home but also profitable.
Candles & Home Fragrance
Every home wants to look like heaven on earth. Using candles and home fragrance provide the serenity at home. These items can be considered as consumable goods. They're used for a while because of the shot lifespan. Having these items to sell will mean repeated business on a daily basis.
Selling of cloth at home is on the rise. With limited time to ourselves, means limited time for cloth shopping and that's why this type of home business will continue to be popular.
Selling cloth will be a great product. My neighbour does that in our neighborhood and made a lot of customers with daily sales.
His strategy is he brings the apparel door to door and still gives a discount on each cloth. These saves you hours of going out to the boutique to buy clothes.
Educational Books & Toys
Another non-consumable product to sale. The need for educational books and toys is the order of the day and there is hardly a neighborhood without a school or school children.
Their products provide an endless sales opportunities offered by many of the educational books and toys companies.
Now we are talking consumable and everyone eats on a daily basis! Items here should be unique and can be biscuits to chocolate. You can partner with companies providing these items to find products that fit the customer.
Distribution can be done on a door to door basis.
Sometimes, you can find autoship programs which help in the distribution of the food products on a daily basis.
Handbags and Accessories
This really is one of the most lucrative non-consumable home business product. Gift handbags, occasion handbags, home party handbags, purses all fall into this category. These products have seen it's rise due to the increase in the popularity of the product.
Fashion accessories have seen the rise too. Most often, fashion accessories and their handbags have proved to be loved because of their uniqueness.
Health & Wellness Products
This industry will require the services of an expert. But if you're not, it's better you join it via Multi-Level Marketing (MLM). This enables you to sell items without fear of being court.
The company involves have been given the right to distribute it via a network and these include you.
The idea here is to join a prominent and prevailing names with a long-standing reputation in direct sales in this sector.
Using a network (MLM) cuts the middle men and you get the product direct from the company.
Home Décor & Kitchen
Most of the products are non-consumable. Some of the items are wall papers, curtains, toiletries among others. Though non-consumable products, the possibility of repeat sales is high.
Try introducing new items to keep the sales going and to buy loyal customers always.
This is a non-consumable home business products that don't have loss as an option. In other words, the item can be intact without you loosing it.
Many jewelry companies are looking for clients to partner with. You may look for one to join their direct sales program.

1962, The year during which India got defeated by China.Then the moment came when Pakistan army took Indian army so lightly and in a thought that India becomes morally weak, Other hand America came to shake their hands with Pakistan during Cold War (1950).America started supplying modern weapons like fighter plans, Tanks, artery guns. So Pakistan thought that this was the best
a situation to attack India to capture Kashmir.
This was the worst situation for India due to death of P.M Jawahar Lal Nehru and Indian economic scenario become weak.
At the time of war president of Pakistan was Ayub Khan and prime minister of India was Lal Bahadur Shastri.
April 1965, little disputes started at kutch because the Sir Creek area border was not defined properly both countries were claiming over that area but after the interference of England, India was ready to talk in conference table, due to this Pakistan thought if they capture a little bit area of India then India will also ready of talk on the issue of Kashmir and the Pakistani army planning to attack kashmir to capture it.
The main objective of Pakistan was to create an unrest, armed struggle in Kashmir and turn people of Kashmir against the Indian government. They want to capture entire Kashmir. A Pakistani General of this war disclosed the reason behind this war in his self-written book " To defreeze the Kashmir problem, weaken India resolve and bring India to conference table without provoking general war ".
Pakistan start operation GIBRALTAR on August 1965, they dropped their paratroopers, special forces in Kashmir Valley and infiltration along CFL (Cease Fire Line).They wanted to capture strategic points like Bridges , Post Offices ,Telephone offices ,Administration offices and also manipulate Kashmiri peoples citizens against Indian Government and create a unrest against India and wanted to supply weapons to citizens in future but this plan of Pakistan was unsuccessful because peoples of Kashmir did not support this strategy of Pakistan and citizens caught many of Pakistani soldiers and handed over the Indians soldiers . So operation Gibraltar was fully failed.
After this real war started, Pakistan start operation GRAND SLAM with their whole army and power on September 1965 and attack India to capture AKHNOOR, Becuase Akhnoor is the only way to connect Punch and Rajouri, if Pakistan captured Akhnoor then they able to cut connection of India from Punch and Rajouri.Along with this Pakistan, Air forces started a bombing campaign in Kashmir but Indian army successfully repulsed the attack and saved Akhnoor and war was fully started in high level.Indian army attack on Punjab ( Pakistan area ) to bring Pakistan army under pressure and distract few Pakistanis army from Kashmir.Indian armored divisions enter in Pakistan and reached till outskirt of Lahore and Pakistan army attack on Khem Karan and want to reach Amritsar but the reply of this Indian army start the Fierce battle ( Asal Uttar ) to recapture Khem Karan and Indian army was successful in this plan.
After World War II this war had a large scale of tanks conflicts.Pakistan had new modern Patton tanks which supplied by America and India had old Sherman tanks but Indian armored division lead to the heavy loss for Pakistani army because the strategy of Indian army was very strong. but Pakistani air forces had superior aircraft ( Supplied by America ) and they inflicted huge damage on Indian military bases, Navy had not that much involvement, only Pakistani army attack on Dwarka sea area in Gujrat.
The Soviet Union and the USA mediated throughout September to stop the war because that time Cold War was in progress and they don't want to heat the Cold War.After this Ceasefire was announced on 22 September 1965.
According to independent sources, 3000 Indian soldiers and 3800 Pakistani soldiers died in this war.
Both countries claimed victory but neutral assessment said that India had upper hand in this war and Pakistan had the serious depletion of resources if a war had lasted even 1 month. Tashkent declaration, declared ' NO WAR GUILT 'clause in this war.
After this war, On 10 Jan 1966 Soviet Union invited both sides leaders Lal Bahadur Shastri and Ayub Khan in Tashkent.And the decided return on a pre-war international boundary, returned to pre-war Cease Fire Line in Jammu and Kashmir, on this agreement India had the huge loss to give Haji Pir Pass to Pakistan, which is the very important location. Both country return Prisoners of war, restored diplomatic relation again and further start talk for peace.

As befits its name, Beloved Script suggests the hand of a romantic spirit … albeit one writing with a simple pen. Its monoline strokes evoke classic 20th-century penmanship achieved with a ballpoint or rounded nib.
Whereas many digital script typefaces impose simple "on or off" rules about character connections, Beloved Script embodies a more casual and natural state of handwriting — the semi-connected script. These disconnections are apparent in the lower case t, and between rounded characters such as o and v, enabled by more than 40 ligatures.
Out of the box, Beloved Script is lively but casual. But with over 1000 swashes and alternates to choose from, including capitals, beginning, and ending forms, it can become a beautifully decorative spectacle, powerful for custom headlines and wordmarks. Includes regular and bold weights. Explore what Beloved Script can do for you.
Beloved Sans
This monoline sans-serif subtly evokes early 20th-century hand lettering made with a ballpoint pen or rounded nib. It's an all-capitals face with corresponding small capitals scaled to about 85% of the original letters — just enough differentiation to be distinctive in the display settings for which it's designed.
Beloved Sans includes over 800 swash and alternate forms, making it incredibly useful and versatile for wordmarks and distinctive headlines. The titling variant adds an extra stroke to the verticals for a hint of Art Deco style, while the swashed capitals add calligraphic flair to an otherwise understated sans. Includes regular and bold weights, and lining and old style numerals. Mix and match characters for package designs, menus, and invitations.
Beloved Ornaments
Beloved Ornaments – a perfect companion to Beloved Script and Beloved Sans.

Fancy Dress: Buy, Rent or Make Yourself?
It's becoming more and more common that people buy their fancy dress costumes rather than renting or making them. Costumes are readily available at a much more affordable price than they were as little as 5 years ago, which could explain why crafting one by hand is becoming a less popular option. My question is […]

Oh. … Hi, there.
If you wondered, I've been busy helping to raise our daughter, now a year and a half old. As lovely as she is, life no longer affords the time I used to have for things like blog posts. I recently awoke to how far behind my website had fallen, so I'm now in the middle of a massive website update. Keep watching:

III. First encounters in Norðurland
August 21 - 28, 2014
The north of Iceland is a place that keeps on giving. A very diverse landscape spanning from hills much like back home in Transylvania and plateaus that I remember seeing in pictures from Tibet to areas much like the surface of the moon that gave me an idea of how the interior of Iceland might look like. That's for another adventure though. Of course the road seems to always go up in these parts of the world. That's a quick portrait of us after a climb. Akureyri was the final destination for the day.
Other than biking and being immersed in the land, we spend quite a lot of time in the tent. While I usually work on my images (and not only mine), Aura seems to get a lot more sleep than I do. She also has more time reading, a thing that I start to miss. The funny thing is that we both have books about Russia. Maybe that's a sign of where we should head out next. Other than that, she audio records herself about the highlights of the day, while I try to write. I'm behind with the writing.
One of the most exciting days of our trip so far was the one going to Goðafoss. We were blessed with countless clouds that make you want ride your bike as far as the eye can see. Wind was also present, but we're already good friends.
The natural wonders of Iceland is what brings tourists to this country. This year sees over a million people doing their vacations here and the service industry bringing more income than the fishing one. Iceland's economy is slowly shifting and so are the nature conservation issues that inherently arise. People around here are already starting to think about this. Even if the highly visited areas are very clean,
Leave only footprints
saying doesn't work anymore. It's bigger than that as we have found from the Icelanders we talked to.
Three weeks on the road so far and we already had a lot of amazing moments that we will cherish and remember for the rest of our lives. And who would have expected that we will see the aurora too? Well, we did. And it was a wonderful first encounter at Lake Mývatn.
The lake offers a very diverse landscape to explore. We didn't get to see everything, but we made sure to treat our muscles and joints with a bath at the thermal pool.
We did get to visit the pseudo-craters and the rich birdlife around them, the lava fields and the Hverfjall Crater which is one of my favorite landscape forms I've seen in Iceland so far. We got on top of it too.
Sometimes Aura, in her green jacket, thinks she's some kind of a biking Hulk trying to split apples with her bare hands. A thing that almost never works. She's usually a calm creature though (she made me write the last part).
The truth is that when you're biking, you can't afford to stop too much in one place. And when those beautiful moments of light happen, you have to act quickly. Now, I feel I'm something in between of a nature, street, adventure photographer and nothing of those. Anyway, it's different from what I'm used to. But then again, this whole thing is different for us. We already changed in ways we can't yet comprehend.
As I'm writing this, we're somewhere in the eastern part of Iceland. We biked and also took the bus to buy some time and to avoid a severe weather warning - lots of rain and 70 km/h winds - that still managed to make us look like amphibians. We even biked during the night on the shores of the Atlantic which was quite surreal. Take care and don't forget to stay outside.

May Contain Dairy - Vegan Food Labels - My Viewpoint
Sarah x
2 comments
Ah! You've been thinking a lot about it too - I'm drafting a blog on this as well!ReplyDelete
Agree that the veggie/choice vs allergy/no choice diet argument is really boring: everyone should have the same right to put into their bodies what they want, for whatever reason. (Besides - why is it always vegetarianism criticised in this way? I never see the same argument levelled at people who avoid certain foods for religious reasons.)
I'll just point out that products aren't 'certified' vegan - they're 'registered' by the Vegan Society, and I've been in touch with their media representative this week, so will blog in length about what they had to say tomorrow or Tuesday. It's interesting, but quite lengthy, so still working on editing it! Will add a link to this post.
It was probably more rambling than thinking but the topic does play on my mind. Thanks for the heads up re: registering a product, you taught me something there so I look forward to reading your blog post.Delete

Training for a marathon is not easy. One thing that seems to alleviate the pangs of crazy, is the comfort of knowing you're running for a cause – a reason to log the miles – something bigger than yourself. For my first marathon I ran for Ovarian Cancer Research and Race for a Cure Africa – both close to my heart.
A good friend of mine and RBF extraordinaire, Molly, has always told me what a great organization St. Jude is. Usually I'm under the impression that all causes are good, unless they support Trump for President, but that's neither here nor there. It wasn't until Molly pushed me to join her fundraising team The Dudes for the Nashville Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon in 2015, that I truly learned about the amazing work they do.
For those of you who don't know, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a pediatric treatment and research facility in Memphis, focused on children's catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is one of a few pediatric research organizations in the United States where families never pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. At all. In addition to providing medical services to eligible patients, St. Jude also assists families with transportation, lodging, and meals.
Molly has also expressed what a life changing experience running the Memphis Marathon is. You are surrounded by the families and children at St. Jude. The emotion and power is unmatched. This year, Molly challenged me to not only fundraising the bare minimum to be a Hero, but join the board of her fundraising group The Dudes, and commit to fundraising $2,500. I'm always saying I want to be more involved in the St. Louis community, and this group of young adults is committed to supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital with events, fundraising and (what I love the most) team spirit. #CheerleaderForLife #GOOOOOOOODudes!
In the wise words of Woody Harrelson circa Zombieland, 'Its time to nut up, or shut up.'
Memphis Marathon, here I come. See you in December!

Hello friends and family! Although we've had a jam-packed week exploring San Juan and learning about the city's culture and history, today was our first day having fun at the beach. We started off the day bright and early, eating breakfast during the ride to the Larimar workshop. There, we met Maria and Cesar, a couple who has been working with Larimar for over 12 years. Larimar is a distinct stone only found in the region of Barahona. They began the workshop by demonstrating the Larimar stone shaping process, which included polishing the stone over 4 times. After the demonstration, we were given the opportunity to purchase jewelry created from these light blue stones. We were excited to bring home a souvenir that we were told can bring us positive energy and protection.
After the Larimar workshop, we arrived to El Quemaito, a beach located in Barahona. This beach was unique to us because many of us had never seen such clear blue water or the Caribbean Sea. Along with the help of two representatives from DR's Civil Defense, we all safely enjoyed the water. From swimming to taking pictures, and searching for rocks on the beach, we all had an unforgettable time. Some of us had the opportunity to buy shells from a local vendor who shared with us his process of finding shells. This vendor would row his boat out into the bay and dive to the bottom to find the best shells. Those who were lucky to hear his story were in awe at his efforts to find these shells.
Although we were reluctant to leave the beach, we knew we had to get back to our accommodations to have a seminar in preparation for the next day's activities. Upon hearing statistics that represent the reality of two thirds of the world's population, we were humbled by this information. We are looking forward to meeting our host families tomorrow and getting a taste of rural life in the Dominican Republic.

#Instagram seminar at Tales on Tour Edinburgh
Anyone who's tried their hand at taking a picture of food or drink for social media can attest that the process is a lot more difficult than it seems. Even though the photo's subject matter is stationary, things such as light quality or camera angle have a tremendous effect on the outcome of the image - one wrong move, and even the most delicious of drinks can appear wholly unappealing. Max Warner and Addie Chinn, alongside Alex Kratena, Agostino Perrone, Alastair Burgess and Tara Garnell, discuss the importance of photography in shaping public perceptions. Whether you're an Instagram guru, or if you haven't taken a picture since you lost your Polaroid camera, this video is one you won't want to skip.
