Parker 51
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (October 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Parker 51 is a fountain pen introduced in 1941, and in production until 1972. Parker's period advertising called it "The World's Most Wanted Pen," a slogan alluding to restrictions on production of pens for the civilian market in the United States during World War II. Parker's continued advertising during the war created a demand that took several years to fulfill after the end of the conflict.
The pen and the ink were both named 51 to mark 1939, the company's 51st year of existence, during which development was completed (U.S. design patent No. 116,097, U.S. Patent 2,223,541 filed). By giving the pen a number instead of a name, Parker avoided the problem of translating a name into other languages.
Design and history[edit]
The 51 was innovative, with its hooded, tubular nib and multi-finned collector, all designed to work in conjunction with the pen's proprietary ink, allowing the nib to stay wet and lay down an even line with either the ultra-fast drying ink or more traditional inks.[1]
With various refinements, the 51 stayed in production until 1972. The most significant design change came in 1948, with the introduction of the improved Aerometric filling system.[2] At the same time, Parker reformulated its ink, reducing the alkalinity, adding a selection of brilliant colors, and calling the new product Superchrome. Like the 51 ink, it also came with a warning that it should be used only in the Parker 51 (or its new little brother, the 21), but the warning was more discreet.
The pen was not named after the P-51 Mustang fighter plane; but Parker took advantage of the coincidence by comparing the pen and the plane in its advertising.
There were two iterations of a special ink formulated exclusively for use in the Parker 51. This ink was highly alkaline and while water-based, also included a substantial amount of isopropyl alcohol. It was released in 1941 as "51" ink, along with the Parker 51 pen; in 1947 it was made somewhat less corrosive, and renamed "Superchrome". Parker was careful to print prominent warnings on caps, labels, and boxes that the ink could only be used in the 51 (and, later, its economy version, the 21), and would damage any other pen. These special inks are no longer available, but Parker's Quink fountain pen ink, introduced in 1931, is still suitable.[citation needed]
A pilot who is suspected of falsifying flight records in his logbook in order to overstate his actual experience is said to have logged "P-51 hours".[3]
The 51 is popular with pen collectors, and in 2002 Parker issued a lookalike model called the 51 Special Edition. In 2004, the larger and heavier Parker 100 was released.

Trends in Information Governance From ARMA 2012
ARMA International's 57th Annual Conference and Expo was held from September 23 to 25 at McCormick Place in Chicago with LTN Technology Editor Sean Doherty on hand to gather information.
One session titled "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Information Governance Leaders," drew upon the experience of a panel of information professionals — all certified records managers at IBM — to discuss best practices for ILG. Panelists worked together to define a strategy to meet the risks posed by stored information and mitigate the burdens that lawsuits bring to organizations.
In another session, "Content Assessment: Kick-Starting Your IG Program With Content Analytics," Kristi Perdue, ERMS (AIIM Electronic Records Management Specialist) and director of marketing at Viewpointe, delivered a presentation about applying advanced technologies such as predictive coding to records management to locate content with value to businesses. As Doherty reports, use of content analytics extends beyond e-discovery, just as the number of vendors offering analytics extends well beyond the floors of LegalTech New York.

The City of Citrus Heights receives hundreds of requests each year for the installation of stop signs, speed humps, and other traffic control devices to reduce speeding in neighborhoods. The current Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) requires investigation, analysis, and a determination of whether the request is the most effective solution. This process takes time and is not very transparent to the community. The initiation of the MMTSP is intended to update, improve, and streamline the process allowing the City to quickly respond to citizen requests and track the status of requests anywhere in the process. Further, the MMTSP will promote and provide tools for Citrus Heights residents to improve safety in their own neighborhoods. The community is invited to help develop the MMTSP so that they have input into the program, and better understand how it works.
The MMTSP is funded through a Caltrans Sustainable Communities $180,000 grant with a local $23,321 match from the City of Citrus Heights.
There are several ways you can be a part of the program including:

The MMTSP will be completed by February 2020. However, there are important program milestones between now and the completion date. See the Important Upcoming Dates for the MMTSP section of this website and revisit this page to keep informed of the program's progress. You can also keep up with the project and other events at https://www.facebook.com/CityofCitrusHeights/.
Previous requests made by residents for safety improvements will be incorporated into the new process being developed and remain in the order they were received. They will be ranked and prioritized using the procedures being developed as part of the MMTSP with input from the community.
Thecity will identify and prioritize safety improvements ranging from educationand enforcement programs to capital improvements that may be incorporatedinto the City's 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
One of the goals of the program is to develop low-cost,near-term solutions that can be implemented and evaluated foreffectiveness. Should the evaluation near term treatments warrant highercost solutions, the city will program funding toward improvementsthrough the budget and CIP process, seeking grant and/or other funding sources to supplement construction costs.
We are working on the tools to help you promote safety in your neighborhoods. Check back soon!

Tim Ferriss recently shared some tips on how one can make his or her blog posts popular. Excerpts:
Make sure your post focuses on just one idea. If you dilute your post with multiple topics, it won't have the same impact.
Don't chase topical news. "That's a losing proposition," he said. Those kind of posts don't have much evergreen value and other sites are probably doing it better.
To find those key terms that users are looking for on Google, use Google keyword search and check the last three months of keywords on the topic you're writing about. Make sure to include the most popular search terms.
For archived blog posts, just a simple change in the title wording from the default "Categories" to "Topics" increased click-throughs significantly. (I did this on my blog years ago.)
Be ruthless in zapping the lunkheads who leave vitriolic, off-topic or offensive comments on your blog. "There's enough negativity in the world, you have no obligation to put it on your blog." Agreed.

About Buffalo Billion
In an extraordinary recognition of Western New York's potential, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has committed an historic $1 billion investment in the Buffalo area economy to create thousands of jobs and spur billions in new investment and economic activity over the next several years. This $1 billion commitment to economic excellence is setting a new growth trajectory for jobs and the regional economy.
"Because of Governor Cuomo's dedication to Buffalo and Western New York, we are seeing a dramatic shift in the region's landscape. We can see the transformation in the people, places and sectors we're investing in and Buffalo is getting recognized on the national stage like never before. With our shared vision we will continue to reinvigorate the Western New York economy and shape a sustainable economic future."
Virginia Horvath, SUNY Fredonia President & WNYREDC Co-Chair
"Buffalo is riding a large wave of positive economic development; fueled by the strategic investment of Governor Cuomo's Buffalo Billion initiative. The advanced manufacturing, life sciences and tourism sectors are all benefiting as new buildings go up, businesses move in and jobs are created. The REDC is thrilled to be a part of this resurgence that has people locally and nationally saying, 'It's a great time to live and work in Buffalo."
--Jeff Belt, SolEpoxy President & WNYREDC Co-Chair
"A Path to Renewal: The Buffalo Billion Investment Development Plan" serves as a roadmap for implementation. Developed by the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council, it identifies six high-level strategies and the unique assets that will move the region forward on the path to sustainable, next-economy growth. High potential sectors include advanced manufacturing, health and life sciences, and tourism, while key enablers include entrepreneurship, workforce development and smart growth. The strategies are mutually reinforcing and together provide a framework that encompasses, contextualizes and aligns existing efforts, and guides future economic growth initiatives.
"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, an amazing opportunity. We can't thank Governor Cuomo enough for recognizing the need in our region for this tremendous boost, and for having the confidence in our region to develop and implement a thoughtful well researched plan, and to implement it." Howard A. Zemsky, President & CEO of Empire State Development and Commissioner of the State of the New York State Department of Economic Development
This funding isn't going to be used as a single silver bullet; it is helping set up a comprehensive and diverse portfolio of investments that collectively is driving the future of Buffalo's continuing economic recovery. By inviting large investments in growth industries—similar to those which made New York's Capital region into a world-class center for nanotechnology innovation and the home of major semiconductor manufacturers—the Governor's plan for Buffalo is designed to create thousands of jobs and spur billions of dollars of new private sector investment and economic activity while setting the foundation for sustainable economic opportunity for future generations.
In January 2017, Governor Cuomo announced his proposal for a $500 million expansion of the Buffalo Billion initiative to continue building on the renewed economic engines and reinvigorated civic spirit throughout Buffalo and the entire Western New York region. While the original Buffalo Billion created a dramatic shift in the dierction of the region's economy, this second phase focuses on ensuring that all Western New Yorkers have an improved quality of life and a role to play in the new Buffalo.
We are creating a region that is admired worldwide, that attracts more people to live, learn, work and visit; where entrepreneurs and businesses want to invest their time and capital; and where all our institutions reflect a transformative culture of inclusion, continuos improvement, adaptation and excellence.

Hold Your Inversion
The headstand provides many health benefits. As you lengthen your inversion time (many yogis recommend 10 minutes or more), your body has more time to detoxify, strengthen and de-stress. This is much easier to achieve without the weight of your body pressing on your head and neck.
Anyone who desires to receive the many benefits of practicing headstand but who feels afraid or not able to manage it on their own will love the Headstand Bench.
Experienced practitioners will enjoy the ease of maintaining this relaxed version of a favorite pose. When using the headstander your shoulders rest on a thick cushion, keeping your head off the floor while gently stretching the neck. It is typically used next to a wall to help with balance and make it possible for you to release your arms and completely relax.
However, experienced practitioners who are using it due to neck strain or injury may also move it away from the wall, doing all their favorite leg variations and twists, since the headstander is sturdy and well balanced and has room for your hands.
Increase your inversion time, improve your health. Try it now!

There are many ancient traditions that have played major roles in the development of modern society. When it comes to food, technology, and even medicine, tradition has played a very important role in shaping who and what humanity is today. Placentophagy or the act of consuming one's own placenta is not an uncommon practice. In actuality, humans are among the only mammals that don't readily face the urge to engage in this behavior. However, there are a growing number of mothers who are willing to give this practice a try based on ancient traditional practices (and the word of celebrities like Kim Kardashian) and its growing popularity among people of all backgrounds.
There isn't just one way to consume the placenta. There are dozens of ways - you can fry it (yes, fry it!), dry it out and consume it in pill form, or even eat it raw. There are some people who are drawn to this practice because of its reported benefits for the mother like youthfulness, energy boosts, and a positive mood. While others are drawn to it because of how it can help the baby through increased breast milk production. Regardless of the reason, there seems to be quite a bit of appeal. Although there are many rumored benefits, there isn't much evidence available to suggest that placentophagy is good for the mother. In fact, there are some healthcare professionals who would advise against it for that very reason. Along with the fact that a mom eating her own placenta just doesn't sound very alluring, here are 14 other reasons why it's not a good idea to take a bite of afterbirth.
One of the reasons that some people advocate for eating the placenta after birth is that it could potentially raise your energy levels. After giving birth, moms are in need of vital nutrients that they've lost. One nutrient is iron. To get this boost, some new moms opt for eating their own placenta, which is supposed to be high in iron. According to an article by Health.com, no studies have revealed that eating the placenta actually boosts iron or energy.
Some new mothers do feel that their energy and certain nutrients are returned after consuming the placenta, but there currently isn't much in the way of research to support their findings. Some skeptics even regard certain feelings as a part of a "placebo effect" where just the act of consuming placenta gives mothers a false sense of wellness. Other women recall feeling the complete opposite after consuming their placenta. While there very well may be some benefits to eating the afterbirth, this may not be one of them.
This next benefit of placentophagy has also played a big role in its growing popularity. Another belief about consuming placenta is that it will lead to an increase in milk production. Advocates claim that consuming the placenta can increase milk production by increasing lactose and protein in the milk supply. However, like lost things on this list, there hasn't been enough research to verify that this is true.
There are also people who claim that the placenta can actually cause a decrease in breast milk production and causes an uncomfortable breastfeeding experience. Breastmilk production is obviously a natural part of pregnancy and new motherhood, but there are no studies that prove either of these claims to be true. Mothers concerned about milk production should contact a medical professional before resorting to placentophagy to help remedy the problem.
As with anything that has been exposed to bodily fluids, there is the potential for contamination and infection. There are many different ways that the placenta can be consumed. Some women prefer to use capsules, others prefer to cook it or eat it raw. Regardless of how it is consumed, there can be serious health risks that come with consuming the placenta. One of the obvious risks is the possibility of getting sick.
The placenta is an organ and just like most organs and animal parts, it is susceptible to infection and disease. It can be quite harmful if consumed raw. Also, there could be any manner of bacteria in the placenta due to an infection or bacteria located in the mother's bloodstream. If this is the case and a mother or someone else consumes an infected placenta, the mother could obviously fall ill or cause someone else to get sick.
For mothers who'd rather not eat their placenta but would give placenta pills a go, they might want to reconsider. Placenta pills are a capsulated form of the mother's placenta. It is the process in which the placenta is steamed and dehydrated. Then it is ground up and placed in capsules to be consumed by the mother. According to Americanpregnancy.org, the capsules can be taken shortly after a woman gives birth, during her period or even during menopause as a way to ward off some of the symptoms associated with menopause.
One of the biggest risks a mother runs with consuming placenta pills is the risk of getting sick from pills that weren't made properly. There is a possibility that the pills could become contaminated at some point during the assembly process. There is also a chance that the pills could go bad after, and this could cause illness. Along with this fact, some placenta pills contain additional "herbs" or medicines that could pose health risks to the mother as well.
Postpartum blues is a normal part of pregnancy and motherhood. But, placentophagy is rumored to aid in reducing the effects of the baby blues. This is another common belief that may or may not have some truth behind it (not enough research). If there were, it would most certainly be more appealing to new mothers, as one in seven mothers experience/have experienced depression after giving birth.
According to an article by CNN, a 2013 study showed that 40 percent of women who participated in placentophagy said that they felt better or felt good after consuming their placenta. However, medical professionals note that it might make the mother feel better, but then again it might not (the placebo effect is a real thing, see below). It's always the mom's decision, but she should consider the fact that it may or may not improve her mood after giving birth.
Placentophagy is a practice that can be dated back to ancient Chinese medicine rituals. However, this practice has begun to gain traction in the Western world as of late. Many advocates argue that it is a practice that is natural and has various benefits for the mom and the baby. However, experts have emphasized the fact that while this may not be an uncommon practice for humans, it is not something that is necessary for the mother's recovery post-pregnancy, nor is it vital to the health of the baby.
There are many animals that engage in placentophagy based off of natural instinct such as cats and rats. The act of consuming the placenta, especially while giving birth to the rest of a litter, can help relieve pain during birth. This is a natural act that many animals feel the urge to do, but it is not something that humans have to do or do instinctively. A mother doesn't have to consume her placenta to recover properly. If she doesn't want to consume her placenta she doesn't have to do so.
If you've ever heard the phrase too much of a good thing can be bad, then it's easily understood why consuming the hormones and other substances found in the placenta can be harmful and not helpful. The placenta is a marvelous organ that provides a variety of functions for mom and baby. It is responsible for providing nourishment and filtering out waste from the baby. It is also partly responsible for the two hormones produced during pregnancy: estrone, and progesterone. It may even contain certain levels of oxytocin. These hormones are an essential part of helping a woman regulate different bodily functions during pregnancy.
However, consuming these hormones through the placenta postpartum could do more harm than good. Some women have reported feeling jittery, a known side effect of placentophagy. Others have reported serious mood swings not tied to postpartum depression. The extra hormones possibly found in the placenta could also increase the risks of cancer and other illnesses caused by the overproduction of hormones.
As stated above, one of the functions of the placenta is to filter out wastes and keep toxins from the baby. One of its functions is as a filter. One that many moms resort to eating post-pregnancy, making it a potential health hazard.
Even after giving birth, there is the possibility of contamination. Even the cleanest hospitals can't guarantee that there won't be an issue with contamination after birth. The birthing process is messy and the chances are that the placenta will come in contact with quite a few of the mother's bodily fluids. Making it difficult to guarantee that anything the placenta comes in contact with is 100 percent sterile. This obviously makes the placenta more susceptible to infection. Even in the case that it doesn't become infected during birth, mothers who make the decision to encapsulate their placentas run the chance of having the placenta infected during the process of encapsulation.
If someone decided to consume all of the dirt and gunk found in a water filter, it might produce similar effects to what could potentially happen if someone decided to eat the placenta, especially an infected one. As it has been discussed already in this article, sickness is a very real possibility for anyone who consumes placenta. The placenta is a filter, and anything that passes through the mother's body could possibly find its way to the placenta. This goes for the good and the bad things.
If a mother has an infection in her bloodstream, there's a possibility that the infection could spread to the placenta. If that occurs, it wouldn't be the smartest idea to consume the afterbirth. And, it certainly wouldn't be a good idea to share it with anyone else because they could get sick as well. It's important for a mother to know if she possibly carries any type of illness in the bloodstream or body, as that could produce an undesirable effect after engaging in placentophagy.
There are certainly many ways that you can consume placenta. You can place it in capsules, eat it raw, or even cook it. There are actually recipes dedicated especially to this stuff. In fact, there are a number of recipes out there with instructions on how to cook placenta (crazy right!?). But be forewarned, if you don't like the taste of chicken livers or other animal organ meat, then you're not likely to enjoy the taste of the placenta either.
The placenta is the only part of the body that is expelled from the body and is no longer needed after pregnancy. Despite this fact, the placenta is still an organ, and it will surely taste like one. It doesn't matter how it is prepared, if the taste of organ meat is not appealing, then it would be hard to find a way to stomach the taste of placenta. Maybe a lot of garlic or onions...
There are a lot of stories out there about the benefits of placentophagy, and there are many mothers who are willing to testify to the benefits of consuming placenta. Some of the rumored benefits include increased breast milk production, increased energy, and PPD prevention to name a few. However, there isn't much in the way of research to support the claims.
Even if a mother finds a plethora of positive reviews in support of the practice, it isn't likely that she will experience the same effects. Every woman's body is different and there are a lot of biological factors that come into play. How a woman's body responds to placentophagy completely depends on the individual. And because there isn't much research, there is no way to tell whether or not the mother can expect a positive or a negative experience. If a woman goes "all in" with the process of placentophagy, she may be setting herself up for disappointment if it doesn't yield the results that she hoped for.
Every medicine has potential side effects, both those based in science and ancient tradition. Placentophagy can have a number of possible side effects including jitteriness, mood swings, and infections.
The extra hormones that the body takes in from the placenta can cause big mood changes that some women may regard as severe postpartum mood swings. But, it can actually be a side effect of the hormones found in the placenta. Getting "the jitters" could also be a potential side effect of increased hormones. As we stated earlier, the placenta is like a filter and storage facility for all things bad and good. It keeps bad things like bacteria and toxins from reaching the baby, so if someone eats it, there's a very real possibility that they'll be ingesting the bad along with the good. This means there is a potential for an allergic reaction, infection and complications with breast milk production.
The placebo effect is basically when the mind is telling the body that whatever it is doing to feel better is having the desired effect when it isn't changing anything at all. So for instance, if a woman is taking placenta pills and believes that it is helping her get better postpartum, then she may or may not be experiencing a placebo effect.
Because research on this topic is limited, there really aren't many ways to tell if placentophagy has a lot of benefits for moms or if it is "all in their heads," so to speak. There are a variety of factors that could contribute to things like increased energy, milk production and a better mood. So, it is hard to say whether those benefits that are associated with placentophagy are real or just placebo. This is not to say that there aren't potential benefits of placentophagy. It just means that it is hard to know for certain.
Another rumored benefit of placentophagy is youthfulness, and man would it be cool if this were true! It is said to make women look younger and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Just like the rest of these benefits, it hasn't been scientifically tested, so there is no way to know for sure currently.
This isn't one of the most common benefits listed for mothers looking to participate in placentophagy, but it is listed as a potential benefit on some pro-placentophagy websites. There are no guarantees with anything, but it certainly isn't promised that a mother will look younger after consuming her placenta. There hasn't been much reasoning provided as to how placentophagy could cause this effect. It would definitely be amazing and certainly more appealing if the placenta could knock a few years off of a face, but there's currently no way of knowing this for sure.
One of the biggest reasons (if not the biggest reason) not to eat the placenta would have to be the fact that there hasn't been enough research to support this practice. There have been a few isolated studies, but even those haven't provided thorough information because of missing variables.
There are a lot of stories from mothers, midwives and doulas that can be found in support of the practice, and there may be some merit behind their experiences. However, a mother who decides to eat her placenta must understand that there is a chance that it may not work for her. And, there are a number of health risks that she could take on as a part of engaging in placentophagy. It is a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly and should be considered with the utmost scrutiny. The lack of scientific evidence to back this growing tradition only adds to a long list of potential problems with this practice.

VANCOUVER - Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil may have put the meltdown they suffered against Spain behind them, but the road won't get any easier against Italy in their Davis Cup World Group quarter-final tie this weekend.
Nestor, 40, teamed up with 22-year-old Pospisil for the doubles rubber in Canada's first round tie against Spain two months ago and went up 2-1 after three sets against second-ranked doubles duo Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez. But the Canadians imploded in the fourth and fifth set, winning just five games.
It was the third straight doubles defeat for Canada in Davis Cup play, with Nestor and Pospisil capturing their nation's last doubles triumph in a World Group play-off in Israel in September 2011.
The recent string of doubles defeats is not a major concern for Nestor, a 21-year Davis Cup veteran.
"Well I think we're playing fine," Nestor said. "Against Spain we had some chances maybe to win that match a bit earlier, perhaps in the fourth set.
"I think we're not meant to be worried about the way we're playing, plus we're playing on our home court so if we play well we should have a good chance."
Nestor, who is ranked sixth in the world in doubles, also shed some light on the late-match fade-out against Spain. He said he "hit a wall" while it was already known that Pospisil was recuperating from a bout of mononucleosis.
"Playing matches on Tour, you're playing one-hour matches then all of a sudden you're going into matches that get close to four hours and are pretty physical, so I just kind of hit a wall and just didn't feel that good on the court towards the end of the fourth and fifth set," the Toronto native said.
Vancouver's Pospisil will be aiming to once again feed off the energy generated by playing in his hometown and said preparation for Italy won't be any different despite the Spain defeat.
"For sure we'd like to bounce back," he said. "Any time you lose in a Davis Cup, you want to bounce back the next tie. As Daniel said, the last time we played very well, we gave ourselves a chance to win and for reasons out of our control we weren't able to get the win, but we played very well.
"So we're not going to change anything in our preparation, we're going to go in with the same mentality and if we put up the same performance I think we'll have a good chance to win."
Considering Canada's recent double woes it will take a significant effort to stop the losing skid, with Italy expected to name the world No. 3 duo of Bolelli and Fabio Fognini for Saturday's rubber.
However, Bolelli had to withdraw from his second round tie against Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov at the Sony Open in Miami on March 23 with a wrist injury, and is still not a certainty to play.
"My wrist at the moment is getting better," Bolelli said during what was an animated Italy press conference. "My condition is better day-by-day so I'll just wait until Thursday or Friday to see if I'm able to play or not.
"But right now, my wrist is getting better and I'm confident (of playing)."
Should Bolelli miss out, Italy will replace him with 25th-ranked doubles player Daniele Bracciali, who teamed up with Fognini at an ATP event in Casablanca last year and reached the final.
Fognini and Bolelli faced Nestor and India's Mahesh Bhupathi — who were seeded fifth — in the third round of this year's Australian Open doubles tournament, with the unseeded Italians winning in three sets on their way to the semi-final.
But Fognini showed plenty of respect for his Canadian rival.
"He's won everything so he's one of the best players in the world in doubles," he said. "He played really good the last time we beat him in Australia, but conditions here are completely different, we will see on Saturday."

To capture public attention for the freshly rebranded retirement community, Nichols planned a fundraising and awareness event featuring the cast of "The Deadliest Catch" at the height of the show's popularity. When tickets sold out quickly and the event was moved to a larger venue, we managed communication with all ticket holders. Nichols worked with our client, celebrity promotional agents, venue managers, and catering teams — every step of the way — to maintain consistent messaging and a focus on the event's goals.
The event was so popular that it was planned again for a second year. Even more tickets were sold. The American Advertising Federation of Fort Wayne honored Nichols with an award for the Crabfest logo.

|ATTENTION: You are about to witness the cheapest Master Bedroom Makeover in Blogging History. The only major expense you see in this picture? The $72 Duvet Cover! (okay, so if I was Aimmee from Twigg Studios, I would have saved that money too and made my own out of King size Sheets).
|I promised you guys the Four Poster Bed Post today, and well at 4:30 this afternoon, I didn't have the throw pillows done, the sanding (distressing) quite finished on the last post, or the rag wreath made that I wanted to hang in my old window for the photo shoot. But at 5:20, I was snappin' pictures! Woo hoo. The stuff you can get done when Hubby gets home to keep the little hoodlums entertained!
|So many things wrong with this BEFORE. For one, my friend Maran pointed out, the height of the dresser just does not work next to the height of the bed. You're so right Maran. But it made a nice big nightstand while it was there! (Check out it's awesome aqua paint job HERE.) The bed was so stinkin' tall, at 4'10" I almost needed a step stool to heave myself into bed. And while I was pregnant? Yes, I did need one. We got rid of the box spring mattress and Tim cut a peice of plywood to take it's place. Now the bed doesn't seem to engulf the whole corner of this room. Phew. The blah boring bedspread with zero pillows... yeah I was so done with that. Anything else? Yeah plenty, but let's get to the positive!
|There she is, slaving away. Think I should drop a few pennies in her piggy bank?
|The old window hanging over the bed I picked up free, the rag wreath was made using scraps of fabric, as well as the pillow embellishments. The blue pillows were 50 centers at a garage sale. Stay tuned for a future post on those babies.
|My bed scarf is fabric I found at JoAnn's on the clearance shelf for an extra 50% off the markdown price - making it $3 a yard!! It brought in all the colors I wanted and added the punch the room needed.
|The two darling bedside tables were freebies on the curb at my friend's house who graciously scooped them up for me and dropped them off at my house! I'll give you the before and afters on them in a future post. And the lamp? Well, you'll have to wait for that one too! :) UPDATE: The lamp got some coral paint added to it and you may click HERE for the lamp before and after.
Hope you enjoyed my favorite part of this Master bedroom makeover!!!! You can view the last two weeks of posts for other parts of the bedroom redo. Hope you'll stop back for more!

4-6 Spots
$150 deposit due at booking. 3 or more areas receive 10% off. Second session in the same area is considered a touchup and is 50% off the 1st session pricing when paid for up front. 72 hour cancellation policy applies.
Gentle, rapid and effective alternative to skin tightening surgery.
The latest generation of the Cosmetic Corrector combines the best aspects of plasma and low frequency techniques to offer a product that is unique on the market. It gives you access to new ways of treating wrinkles, scars, acne and skin tags.
An ionised electric arc acts on the skin surface via the tip of the pen without making direct contact with the skin. The plasma arc very rapidly vaporises the skin in a concentrated way in the desired location and tightens the surrounding area.
The plasma pen is extremely effective for many procedures, from correcting drooping eyelids to carrying out a complete face lift – without surgery, needles or scalpels
Rapid, painless and chemical-free treatment – especially gentle on the body
Results are immediately visible – post or in-depth skin tightening leads to additional permanent improvements
Rapid healing process – clients need only a short time for their appearance to recover and they are able to resume normal social activities in just a few days
A single ambulatory procedure is enough to make the eyes appear more open, to firm up the eyelids and to smooth the areas of skin around the mouth and nose.
It's not temporary or something you have to continue to touch up. You simply repeat the treatment when your skin 're-ages' over the years following the last treatment.
The procedure is almost painless and the results are often immediately visible. The treatment is particularly gentle on the body. We apply a high grade topical numbing cream to make you comfortable during the treatment.
A particular advantage of this treatment is that the healing process is very rapid thanks to the NF+ (super low frequency) technology.
Following professional treatment carried out by our trained practitioners and maintenance of the aftercare regime, there is hardly any evidence of unsightly swelling or redness.
Since the treatment causes virtually no unsightly swelling or redness, clients are quickly ready to go back to their daily routine.
Expect to have "dots" You will receive anti-bacterial foundation in order to cover the "dots" so you will be okay to go to work the same day if needed.
You will have very little healing time which takes 7 - 10 days on average.
During that time your skin will have tiny scabs that will flake off on their own and can be covered by the tinted cream.

Product Details
Hornit Cycle Horn
At 140 decibels, the Hornit is the loudest cycle horn ever.
While bells are probably still best for shared walking/cycle paths, they're usually too quiet to be heard on roads over traffic noise.
Sounding the Hornit will definitely alert other road users about to cut dangerously into your path.
- Designed to fit any handlebar: road bike, mountain bike or hybrid.
- Remote push-button operation.
- You can mount the comfortable silicone button close to the levers so you can brake and sound the Hornit simultaneously.
- The Hornet sounds like an electronic car alarm - you notice it but it sounds less aggressive than a car-style horn. Or shouting.
- When riding a cyclepath you can switch the Hornit to 'Park Mode'.
- 'Park Mode' emits a quieter 130 decibel beep.
- However, if you ever feel threatened on a path, sounding the horn at full volume may well deter an aggressive person (or dog).
- Battery operated.
- Expected run time: 6-12 months from 2 x AAA batteries.
- Compact bike light size - the horn measures 97 x 48 x 36mm.
- The Hornit attaches to a bar mounted bracket - just like most bike lights.
- Spare brackets are available to make it easy to switch the Hornit between bikes.
- Total system weight: 96g.
'It's billed by its makers as the world's loudest and we aren't going to argue with them...we're in no doubt of the Hornit's effectiveness on traffic-packed roads.'

Top London Investment Bankers Discuss 2014
Around 60 of London's leading investment bankers gathered at an annual awards ceremony hosted by Financial News this week. Bankers including those from UBS, Citi and J.P. Morgan took time out to reflect on the biggest challenges of 2013 and to look ahead to what next year has in store.

This past Sunday, we had our Annual Worship Business Meeting on Sunday morning. We conducted God's business in the following two ways as we lived out Romans 16.
The first way comes from the loving heart of Paul as he described 28 named individuals. I believe God was revealing to us that God's business is celebrating and honoring people.
So during the worship service this past Sunday, we had a wonderful time celebrating and honoring the staff, the deacons, the church council, the ministry team leaders and all the people who serve on a ministry team by asking them to either come forward or to stand.
The second way comes from the last few verses of Romans 16:25-27 "Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen."
I think God is reminding us that God's business is still in rescuing people.
This past Sunday, we reported all the ways that we have engaged in serving and reaching those who are far from God. Here is the list...
- Giving over $40,000 to the cooperative program.
- Re-engaging in church planting by being a sponsoring church for church planter Kevin Yi Chen and host church for church planting apprentice Hank Harris.
- Redesigning our social media connection via our website and facebook. Hundreds and thousands have been touched by God through Southtown Baptist Church in this unique way.
- The 6 Neighborhood BBQs that we put on for the community and our friends who are far from God. Between 70-140 guests came each time where we were able to share a little glimpse of the Gospel of Jesus with them.
- Praying for and serving our sphere of influence who are far from God by treating them to a snack, lunch or treat on a weekly basis. Many of these friends were invited to special Sundays this past year, like Easter. We had a handful actually show up. One of them received Christ as their Lord and Savior.
- Praying for a Conversion Growth Season at Southtown Baptist Church.
Thanks for another great year of ministry together. May God be honored and pleased.
Pastor Chris

Playing a board game with my wife while at the hospital
I had to take Melissa to the ER Thursday evening and she was admitted to the hospital later that same evening. She's having pretty severe GI problems and we've been here since then and it's currently Sunday evening.
However we had a pleasant break and managed to play a board game while here. Even though she's heavily medicated she still won. I blogged about it on my board games blog site.

Occupy Wall Street: Occupy Sandy and Rolling Jubilee
I'm going to wrap up with a sort of feel-good story, at least one as feel-good as anything can be about the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Do you know what was among the first organizations to get relief to the victims of Sandy around New York City? An organization that was on the ground, distributing food and water and blankets and medicine and even some generators, often before the Red Cross or FEMA even showed up? A group that within just a couple of days established two distribution centers and was directing about 1,000 volunteers a day and by last week had dozens of relief centers across the city?
Occupy Wall Street. Yep, them. Working under the name Occupy Sandy, OWS has taken the commitment its participants showed, their social media skills, the prowess at on-the-fly organizing they developed, and the knowledge of neighborhoods they gained when doing community organizing in all those months the mass media thought they had just disappeared, and turned them into a praised and effective relief organization for victims of the superstorm.
ABC News claimed that OWS had become a punchline. I'm afraid that around New York I don't hear any laughing.
In fact, this is a double feel-good bit. Something to which OWS gave birth was the organization Strike Debt! which published the Debt Resistors' Operations Manual to tell people being crushed under debt about their rights and options. Now, Strike Debt! has a new project. It's called Rolling Jubilee.
Traditionally, Biblically, a jubilee year was a time for freeing of slaves and prisoners, returning land to its former owners, and forgiving debts. Rolling Jubilee wants to make the forgiving of debts an on-going event.
When banks or other creditors have what's called "distressed" debt, a debt that is in default which they are having trouble collecting, they often enough will sell that debt to someone else for a fraction of its face value, sometimes for just pennies on the dollar. This is a rather simple and fairly common business transaction. Usually, the new creditor sets about harrassing the debtor for the balance, which is all profit to the new creditor. What Rolling Jubilee intends to do is to use crowdfunding - that is, lots of people contributing small amounts each - to raise funds to buy destressed debt for pennies on the dollar, but then instead of trying to collect that debt, forgive it. Wipe it off the books.
The idea has been called simple, brilliant, and powerful and it's all quite legal. And in a country where in one-third of the states it is still legal for you to be sent to prison for not paying a debt and yes that is true, it's also very necessary.
But there is one potential hang-up: The banks may not go along with it. An outfit called American Homeowner Preservation was buying up pools of bad mortgages and then restructuring them to make it easier for the homeowners to pay them off. But the banks hated the idea of a homeowner being able to stay in their house after a short sale, and often asked for an affidavit from the buyer saying that the former owner yes, would be kicked out. Obviously, American Homeowner Preservation couldn't make such a promise since that was contrary to its whole purpose. So the banks just refused to sell them any mortgages.
There's no reason to think the banks will be any less stubborn, unreasonable, and selfish in this case. But even if that happens, there is one thing that can come out of it: A lot more people will know just how small-minded, stubborn, unreasonable, and selfish Wall Street is.

Ross Kemp is speedily thumbing at his iPhone, showing me the photos from his recent investigative sojourn with the Kurdish army in Syria.
As he talks about the harrowingly sad and violent impact of war, trademark eyebulge popping 2-inches from his skull, I worry that I'm about to see something I'd rather not.
But the former Eastenders "You wot?" merchant is flicking ahead without fear or concern, which comes as no surprise, really. Over the past twelve years, the 51 year-old actor-turned-reporter has thrown himself into some of the most terrifying situations imaginable, from infiltrating murderous guerrilla armies to diving headfirst into gangland underworlds.
Nothing seems to faze him.
So we sat down with the 'Artist Formerly Known As Grant Mitchell', to find out how he keeps his nerve...
How do you choose what dangerous, war-torn country you're going to visit next?
Over 12 years of making docs, you realise that certain countries have richer seams. Hostile places are full of conflict – and conflict makes a good story. I still get excited about visiting dangerous locations, and as long as I'm still excited, I'll carry on doing it.
How much of that excitement is fueled by the adrenaline of fear?
I'm not an adrenaline junkie. But coming out of something like a firefight safely gives you an overwhelming sense of what it is to be a human being. To be truly alive. It's pretty fucking elating.
One thing you'll be surprised about is how often you laugh in life-threatening situations. At the sheer ridiculousness of it all. It's a weird human reaction to survival.
You've shown a lot of bravery in your past documentaries. Fill us in on your confidence-building tricks.
I don't think my job is about bravery. Most of the "brave" stuff I've done has been out of desperation, which is the mother of invention.
We use really good intelligence sources to scope out our locations, and we generally use ex-military to do a thorough risk assessment. We don't just jump on a plane with a camera and hope.
But you can't always be totally sure that their assessments are correct?
The fear is always there, and that's what keeps you alive. Everyone always talks about how brave I was confronting the armed robbers in the forests of Papa New Guinea, but I was just thinking about staying alive.
We had guns pointed at us. We were thousands of miles from anyone who could help us. My cameraman kept rolling, despite having a WW2 mark one self-loading rifle pushed against his back.
I just made the calculated decision to push their guns down. I said: "We're not going to get down on our hands and knees." What other option did I have? I just didn't want to die.
I don't know to what extent my acting in Albert Square has contributed to how I act in those situations. I never have the time to analyse it.
What kinds of thoughts go through a man's head in a situation like that? Or when bullets are whistling through your ear fuzz?
It's cliché, but you think about your life. About the things that are important to you. What your reasons for being here are, and whether you can fulfil them.
So it makes you a better person?
In the moment, you swear to be a better person. But you soon fall back into the same routine. Of nipping people to parking spots, and getting annoyed at old ladies in the supermarket who can't find their change. But I'm a very different guy to who I was back in the Eastenders days.
Has it had any detrimental effects to your mental health?
After seeing a harrowing event – a murder, a firefight, or even the testimony of a mother in Columbia whose son has been cut up alive on a butcher's table – we do something calling T.R.I.M (Trauma Risk Management).
It's a technique we took from the marines. Basically, it's just sitting down and discussing the day. A lot of the time, we might be feeling guilty, or responsible for letting someone down, which can later lead to PTSD. We all talk about how we saw the day's situations, and get a bigger, better picture. It's not rocket science – it's just talking.
But you've got to have a pretty good, dark sense of humour, otherwise you'd just be crying all day.
You meet some proper bastards in your travels. Do you ever try to find sympathy for the unsympathetic?
I don't. But it is my obligation to present people fairly, regardless of how repulsed they make me feel.
Once, a guy started to cry as he told us how many young women he'd killed – over 400 girls. He trafficked thousands a year. His search for sympathy fell on barren ground. It just made him look more despicable, by trying to use it as a cathartic experience.
On that occasion, I told the camera that I wanted to kill him. That they should get him out of my sight. Although he did have five heavily armed guards with him, so I'm not sure what I could have done.
Your new documentary follows the Kurds in Syria and Northern Iraq fighting against ISIS. What did you find out on the ground?
It's not a propaganda film for the Kurds, but it does show that they've made massive advances. The caliphate, which was prophesied to expand, has shrunken. I don't think that would have happened without the Kurds, both in Iraq and Syria. The tide is most definitely turning.

Hello Rimantas.
I like to see these old b/w photos scanned into digital or TE. This one provides a little insight into this little-known city from the time before the fall of the USSR. A little strange to see a city street with no cars. Your photo conveys a subdued atmosphere but also shows the preservation of many fine old buildings. I'm sure TE members would appreciate a more informative note.

"Evan Quick, Hero's Log, May the 25th...?nd darn it - I just can't do this. I'm never going to be a Mask. Get over it Evan." Evan Quick has spent his whole life dreaming of becoming a hero. Every morning he wakes up and runs through a checklist of test to see if he's developed powers over night, and every day it is the same thing - nothing. No flying, no super strength, no heat rays or cold beams. No invulnerability - that always hurt to check - no telepathy, no magic. Not even the ability to light a light bulb without flipping a switch. And now, he's finally ready to give up. But then, the class field trip to the Mask Museum is interrupted by a super villain attack, and Evan somehow manages to survive a death ray. Even better, Evan's favorite Mask, Captain Commanding, shows up to save them all-and when things go very wrong, it's Evan who finds the strength to come to Captain Commanding's rescue. Yet the hero's reception Evan is expecting never happens. Before he even gets the chance to say hello, Evan is bundled away to The Academy, an institution derisively called The School for Sidekicks by its students. Forced to take classes like Banter Basics and Combat with Dinnerware, while being assigned as an 'apprentice' to Foxman - a Mask widely considered a has-been-Evan starts to worry that he'll never be able to save the day...

Intel Compiler 1.11 on Ubuntu 9.10 revisited
January 20th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
trying to install the latest version of intel compilers cause some amount of trouble as you do not only need the old and now dropped version 5 of libstdc++ – you also need it for x86_64 and i386. Both packages are available from the jaunty (9.04) Version of Ubuntu – but both packages install to /usr/lib whereas on an 64bit system the 32bit version has to be installed to /usr/lib32. So the 32bit deb has to be installed "manually" – all the details are now available on an intel-site:

Freeware Garden: Vectagon
It's called Vectagon and it's a fast paced, procedurally generated, psychedelic runner that has, according to its developer, been inspired by Rez, Dyad and F-Zero. That makes Vectagon a jaw-dropping, infinite avoid-'em-up where lasting for a minute should be considered a huge accomplishment. A game with glorious neon visuals and a purely arcade heart.
To say that Vectagon is hard would be a vast understatement. You will need impressive reflexes just to survive 20 seconds in the gentlest of its modes and possibly hours of training before you can go for a whole minute. Thankfully though, every time you fail the game will crudely offend you –or, in the best of cases, simply go Urgh– thus cunningly using your added frustration to iron your resolve.
It's a cheap trick, but it works.
Besides, anything that looks this good and costs nothing can be excused for anything up to and including modest verbal violence against players. The thing looks absolutely amazing and overloads your senses from the very first second in a way that would make Jeff Minter smile in approval. Of course, stopping to admire the scenery is out of the question, but play it long enough and those semi-random tunnels will burn themselves into your retinas.
Oh, and make sure to press F to enjoy the glory of Vectagon in full screen.
