You know what? ditto. specially with my Holga. It was good when I still had extra cash to put into this, but now... I guess things have changed. :)ReplyDelete
But if you still have your SLR/DLSR with you, wow. You still have a lot of possibilities in there for you. :) Take care of it; you never know when you'll be able to dust it off and set it a-clicking again one day. :)
We still have it with us but it's too heavy to bring whenever we're going out. With Una not wanting to stay on the stroller plus the weight of her diaper bag, I sometimes wished we bought a decent P&S instead. But the DSLR are being used for ID pictures in the in-laws computer shop, I guess it is still a worthy investment.ReplyDelete
oh my...ganda kaya ng DSLR....I wish to have one someday...kaya lang mahal eh....hehehhee!ReplyDelete
nice camera :) how much it cost? here USD$1500 depend on what lense tooReplyDelete

What is Mod Control
An other mod that I want to introduce to you today is Mod Control. The mod is a small server utility created by lumien231 that help you to filter which mods players that join your server are allowed to use.
Mod Control Usage
After running your server with this mod once you should fine a ModControl folder in your config folder, in there should be 3 different list txt files & a config file. In the config file you specify the default kick messages and whether operators can bypass this mod. The 3 list files is where you put the mod ids of the mods that you want blocked / forced. The White List contains all mods that the user can have installed, the blackList contains all mods that the user can't have installed and the Grey List contains all mods that the user is forced to have installed. The lists have the format "MODID:KICK MESSAGE". This is an example of a blacklist with custom kick messages.
After running your server with this mod once you should find a config file named "ModControl.cfg" in your config dictionary. In there you can specify the list type (Blacklist,Whitelist) and the mod ids that should be blocked / allowed. You can also modify the message that players will get when joining with a blocked mod. By default operators will not be affected by this mod, you can however change that. In addition you can even specify specific users that will not be affected by Mod Control.
As an example, if you would want to prevent players from using NEI and Journey Map (Just the first two client side mods that came to my mind) on your server your config file would look like this:
# Configuration file
settings {
# The Kick Message an user will get when using a mod that's not allowed, %s will be replaced with the mod id [default: You are not allowed to use %s]
S:Kick-Message=You are not allowed to use %s
# ListType (0=BlackList, 1=WhiteList) [range: 0 ~ 1, default: 0]
# ModIds seperated by ; [default: ]
# Users that will not be affected by this mod. Seperated by ; [default: ]
# Server Operators will not be affected by this mod [default: true]
You can also use the command "/mc reload" to reload the settings without restarting the server.

The 5 Biggest Home Viewing Mistakes Home Buyers Make
Posted by Jerad Cox on Sunday, November 30th, 2014 at 11:13am.
Home buyers are often very excited when they get to the home viewing stage. It feels that their dream of buying a home is more real. The excitement of home buying can cause you to make one or more of the five biggest home viewing errors. These errors can cost you time and money. Try to avoid the 5 following issues:
1) Looking at every home possible - Many people believe that a 'more is more' mentality when viewing homes is the best plan. Not so - in fact, it can often lead to what I have called 'buyer's fatigue'. Often after viewing many homes, what happens is that the homes start to blur together and all look the same. When they all look the same it is much more difficult to allow one stand out for you to buy. You can prevent this problem by making sure you do the proper prep beforehand and know what you need in a home and what you want in a home.
2) Not knowing what to look for when viewing a home - This goes back to the needs and wants list in point 1. If you don't have a list of needs, wants, and 'dealbreakers', then you will have a harder time actively viewing the home. Active viewing means that you are looking for specific things as well as the overall feel to a home.
3) Spending too much or not enough time in a home when viewing it - These 2 extremes also take away from the effectiveness of the home viewing. I have had people view a home in 90 seconds (1st viewing) and I have had people view a home over 45 minutes (also a 1st viewing). Both of these time spans are extremes - and take away from the effectiveness of a showing. On average a showing takes between 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of the property.
4) Not making the best of a bad home viewing - If you decide right away that the home is not for you, then I still suggest you go through the entire home. Why? Numerous reasons - here are a few a) out of respect for the seller , b) to observe any issues that you may see consistently through an area , c) to observe any organizing or design ideas that you may like, and d) to look for any examples of 'red flags' that can teach you more about being a savvy home buyer.
5) Looking at personal artifacts inside of a home - Don't be snoopy! Human nature is for buyers to look at everything in the home - pictures, knick knacks, personal effects - as well as the actual home itself. These things will also distract a buyer from why they are actually there - which is to view the home. Remember that the sellers will be taking all of those personal effects and stuff with them!
Home buying can be exciting - and it should be! But it can also be effective, useful, and efficient. Avoid these top home viewing mistakes and your home buying experience will be better as a result.

"The main drum mic that I used was an AKG D190," says Parker in this interview.more
On the overheads we had a Neumann U 67 and AKG D190, both in the center above the snare. We then would choose one or get a blend that worked for each song. Occasionally I added a second pair of overheads, some Sony pencil condensers in x-y, just in front of the kit about two meters off the ground. These microphones sound very hard and in your face, so it worked out great.more
According to this transcription of a February 1982 issue of *U2 Magazine*, "Larry has a somewhat unusual drum set up. Not that the kit itself was unusual, but it was arranged in an unusual manner and had several unusual extras. The basic kit is a very impressive all black Tama Fiberstar - all single headed, and including a 24" kick drum, 16" and 18" floor toms, and a selection of rather deep rack toms. The snare was a Ludwig 14"x61 " steel shell and he also has a pair of Latin Percussion Timbale. The cymbals comprised Zildjian 18" thin ride; 18" thin crash; 18" medium crash; 18" pang and 21" ride, with Paiste 14" hi-hats on a Premier Trilock pedal. The rest of the stands are Tama. The kit is miked using Sennheiser 421's for the kick and the floor toms, Shure SM57's for rack toms and snare, Electro-voice RE10 on the hi-hat and AKG D190's on the rest. No overhead mikes."more
Toni Torres use in HCTSOUND recordings and some showsmore
I know these were meant to work like an SM57, but I prefer this much more. It's just a little bit darker, but that makes a world of difference. On vocals, it has a nice tone. Nothing too crisp, great for garage rock type sounds. I bought four of these a while back for $50 with cases, and I'm not disappointed.
(Mine is actually the D190 ES) Very uncommon and it has a very strange sound that works for pretty much anything you would want to record. Its weakpoint is probably vocals, though it handles sibilance really well.

Arctic Attitude was born from a story that brought the traveler that I am to the Arctic Circle and more specifically to Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland.
After travelling to several countries for fun and adventure, I decided to take another step in 2012 by moving abroad but for work this time. So I found myself for about 5 years discovering Finland from north and south and from east to west. Among the different destinations in Finland, Lapland is really the one that has been my favorite. This is the olace where I have had the chance to spend most of my time in the past years and where I met Sanna, originally from Lapland and with whom I have shared my life ever since.
Over time, I have been able to appreciate the many qualities of this region, both in terms of nature and climate, but also in terms of the culture and personality of the people who live there. So we decided to build something here in Finnish Lapland and today offer solo travellers and families to share our many experiences with people who are interested in this really special part of Europe. north.
Excursions, nature, local gastronomy or anecdotes of local life on the Arctic Circle, I offer you to experience and learn many things during an amazing trip to Finnish Lapland.

Reflection For The Day
We've been our own worst enemies most of our lives, and we've often injured ourselves seriously as a result of a "justified" resentment over a slight wrong. Doubtless there are many causes for resentment in the world, all of them providing "justification." But we can never begin to settle all the world's grievances or even arrange things so as to please everybody. If we've been treated unjustly by others or simply by life itself, we can avoid compounding the difficulty by completely forgiving the persons involved and abandoning the destructive habit of reviewing our hurts and humiliations. Can i believe that yesterday's hurt is today's understanding, rewoven into tomorrow's love?
Today I Pray
Whether I am unjustly treated or just think I am, may I try not to be a resentful person, stewing over past injuries. Once I have identified the root emotion behind my resentment, may I be big enough to forgive the person involved and wise enough to forget the whole thing.

The Fighting for Fisch Fundraiser on May 19th is shaping up to be an awesome community event. There will be some amazing raffle items, headlined by an Ultimate Cardinal Fan basket that includes baseballs signed by Matt Carpenter and Jose Martinez, plus 4 second row seats next to the Cardinal dugout (valued over $1000); plus many more exciting items.
Activities will include Kona Ice, funnel cakes, bake sale, and other concessions, A Zoo for You (petting zoo), Apple Jack the miniature horse, bounce house, corn play place, face painting, kick-punt-pass, dodgeball, home run derby and other field games, music, beer, soda and more!
Fischer Kuester is an 11-year-old Daniel Boone student who's much like any other kid his age: he loves sports, fishing, and Xbox. But what you may not know about Fischer is that he's been battling a rare kidney disease for much of the past 2-1/2 years. His friends and family would love your support as he undergoes treatments so that he may avoid a kidney transplant.
Fischer's condition – full-house immune complex glomerulonephritis – is extremely rare. Only 20 people have been diagnosed with it over 40 years. Fischer's case is even more unusual because it's just one of about a dozen that's idiopathic – meaning there's no underlying primary reason that's causing it – it seemingly came out of nowhere.
Narrowing the culprit to immune complex glomerulonephritis has involved dozens of healthcare specialists, a series of hospitalizations and a battery of tests. But because it's taken so long to arrive at such a rare diagnosis (over 2 years), Fischer's other organs have been stressed. His heart and liver are specifically showing signs of overcompensation.
The good news is now that things are moving in the right direction, there's a bit more visibility when it comes to a treatment plan. So far, Fischer has taken a chemo drug used to keep his immune system from attacking his own kidneys and is getting high doses of steroids for the same purpose, both of which are taxing on his body. He's taken another medication via IV that has been promising, but he developed an allergic reaction. As it stands, Fischer is looking at several more months of treatments, doctor visits, tests and medications to try and put his disease into remission.
Parents and students at Daniel Boone Elementary School in New Melle have planned the "Fighting for Fisch Field Day" to help with medical and other expenses. They are hoping the entire community comes out to support this wothy cause: Sunday, May 19, 2019, 1-6 p.m. at New Melle Sports and Rec. There will be fun activities for all ages.
Fischer and his family are optimistic about his future and are extremely grateful to live in such an amazing and caring community. Fischer's mom said, "The amount of love and support we have received, and continue to see, has warmed our hearts and helped us to remain positive."
To help, donate, or more information, call 636-299-3291 or 314-609-0707.

Experiencing trust in regards to your personal safety can help you open up the flow of energy to make healthy trust choices. If you have trust issues these experiences can open up parts of you that your thoughts alone cannot identify. Traditionally trust falls are experienced in a group. Here is a self-trust method.
Practice: Gather a pile of pillows and blankets or a mattress on the floor that will be thick enough to handle the impact of your fall. Try a sample fall where you protect yourself to make sure the thickness is adequate. It is important to protect your head from an impact with the ground. Once your landing pad is ready:
- With your arms crossed, comfortably reach your hand to its opposite shoulder.
- Fall backwards onto your landing pad.
Review how you felt before, during, and after the fall. Pay attention to how your body moved during the fall. Now, for a second fall:
- Take a few slow, relaxing diaphragmatic breaths.
- Lower the focus of your breath down into the ground.
- Eyes focused on a spot in front of you, straighten your posture, and hold your neck long with your shoulders relaxed.
- Ground yourself to Earth. Practice Grounding Tree prior to attempting this experiential fall.
- Set your pose with your arms crossed and reach comfortably towards the opposite shoulder with each hand.
- Fall backwards onto your landing pad.
Review how you felt before, during, and after the fall. Pay attention to how your body moved during the fall.
Depending upon the strength of your ground to Earth, there will be a difference between the two falls. A secure, easy fall shows strong grounding and a connection to personal control, trust, and balanced ego. If you notice during the fall that your breath changes, you have an inability to hold your arms comfortably, or you lose the tall straight posture of your body then you need support still in these areas.
Purpose: This practice will help you see the difference grounding and personal balance makes in your life. Having a strong foundation and practice makes a difference.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce, California Manufacturers and Technology Association and Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce Endorse Carly Fiorina
BAKERSFIELD, CA - During a press conference at ARRC Technology in Bakersfield, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the California Manufacturers and Technology Association (CMTA) and the California Chamber of Commerce today continued their two-day statewide tour rejecting Barbara Boxer's 28-year record of failed leadership and urging Californians to instead support Carly Fiorina, a proven, tested leader with a clear plan to create jobs and grow the economy. Fiorina today also earned the endorsement of the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce (GBCC).
"Carly Fiorina knows firsthand the challenges facing companies across the nation that are struggling in this difficult economy, and she has consistently demonstrated her commitment to advancing policies that support the interests of businesses large and small," said Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer Debra Moreno. "As a U.S. senator, Carly will help produce sustained economic growth and create more jobs, and we are pleased to endorse her candidacy for U.S. Senate."
The GBCC is a nonprofit association of business people committed to improving the economic climate and quality of life in the greater Bakersfield area. The Chamber represents businesses of all sizes and types and serves its membership of nearly 1,400 members, which together employ some 50,000 employees, by advocating for legislation that supports job creators, providing education opportunities for member companies and promoting the local community and local businesses.
"For 28 long years, Barbara Boxer has failed to fight for jobs, failed to fight for policies that spur economic growth and failed to fight for American companies. Today we are rejecting Boxer's nearly three decades of failed leadership and antagonism toward California's businesses," said U.S. Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice President and National Political Director Bill Miller. "Carly Fiorina, on the other hand, understands firsthand the challenges companies face every day and will fight for the policies in Washington we need so our companies can compete in the global marketplace and so our economy can recover, grow and flourish. That's the reason we are endorsing Carly Fiorina for U.S. Senate."
CMTA President Jack Stewart added, "During her nearly three decades in Washington, Barbara Boxer has made it increasingly difficult for manufacturers to do business in the United States by championing higher and higher taxes and stiffer and stiffer regulations. The path down which Boxer has driven our nation is littered with companies that have suffered as a result of these job-killing policies; that's the reason we're today charting a new course by endorsing Carly Fiorina for U.S. Senate. As a U.S. senator, Carly will advance policies that encourage economic growth, job creation and a less intrusive federal government in order to foster a business environment in which manufacturers and all California companies can thrive."
"Carly Fiorina is the pro-business candidate for U.S. Senate. When jobs and the economy are the primary focus of all Californians, we would be well served to have a U.S. senator who has created private-sector jobs, has had to balance budgets and knows how unnecessary government regulation can stifle investment. Carly is a proven leader who will bring common-sense solutions to an out-of-touch political process in Washington," continued California Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer Allan Zaremberg."
"During Barbara Boxer's 28 years in Washington, our nation's job creators have suffered under the weight of sky-high taxes and burdensome regulations that make it harder to keep companies here in the United States and employ our fellow Americans. Today, I am standing with these job creators in rejecting Barbara Boxer's failed leadership and her decades-long record of pressing for job-killing policies," said Fiorina. "I come from the real world, and I know creating jobs and stimulating economic growth in the real world requires unleashing the talents and energies of California's workers, small-business owners, innovators and entrepreneurs. If our economy is going to experience a real recovery, then we must send new leaders to Washington who will put job creation and economic growth first; that begins by defeating Barbara Boxer this November."
Fiorina's economic growth plan focuses on the principle that lower taxes, fewer burdensome regulations and more innovation will drive our nation's recovery and growth. Specifically, she is advocating for policy changes that lower taxes, incentivize innovation and allow our nation to fight for every job. Fiorina also today hosted press conferences at Blue Diamond Growers in Sacramento and Renewable Power Solutions in San Jose. Yesterday, the first day of her two-day tour, Fiorina earned the endorsements of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Fresno Chamber of Commerce.

Job Creators Say "Enough is Enough" to Barbara Boxer's Job-Killing PoliciesTuesday, August 10th, 2010
U.S. Chamber of Commerce, California Manufacturers and Technology Association and Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce Endorse Carly Fiorina
Job Creators Reject 28 Years of Barbara Boxer's Failed Leadership, Endorse Carly Fiorina for U.S. SenateMonday, August 9th, 2010
LONG BEACH, CA – During a press conference at SnugTop, one of the last manufacturers still in business in the Long Beach area, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the California Manufacturers and Technology Association (CMTA) and the California Chamber of Commerce today joined U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina in rejecting Barbara Boxer's 28 years of failing to stand up for job creators across the nation, as well as in highlighting Fiorina's plan to create jobs and grow the economy by lowering taxes, fighting for every job and incentivizing innovation. Today's stop kicks off a two-day statewide tour during which job creators will call on the people of California to replace Barbara Boxer this November.
"For 28 long years, Barbara Boxer has failed to fight for jobs, failed to fight for policies that spur economic growth and failed to fight for American companies. Today we are rejecting Boxer's nearly three decades of failed leadership and antagonism toward California's businesses," said U.S. Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice President and National Political Director Bill Miller. "Carly Fiorina, on the other hand, understands firsthand the challenges companies face every day and will fight for the policies in Washington we need so our companies can compete in the global marketplace and so our economy can recover, grow and flourish. That's the reason we are endorsing Carly Fiorina for U.S. Senate."
Founded in 1912, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today represents more than 3 million businesses and organizations across the United States in pushing for free enterprise, individual freedom and opportunity through national advertising, grassroots advocacy, citizen engagement and research. The Chamber's goal is to help elect a pro-business Congress and advance legislation that furthers its policy objectives.
"During her nearly three decades in Washington, Barbara Boxer has made it increasingly difficult for manufacturers to do business in the United States by championing higher and higher taxes and stiffer and stiffer regulations. The path down which Boxer has driven our nation is littered with companies that have suffered as a result of these job-killing policies; that's the reason we're today charting a new course by endorsing Carly Fiorina for U.S. Senate," said CMTA President Jack Stewart. "As a U.S. senator, Carly will advance policies that encourage economic growth, job creation and a less intrusive federal government in order to foster a business environment in which manufacturers and all California companies can thrive."
CMTA's mission is to improve and enhance a strong business climate for California's 30,000 manufacturing, processing and technology-based companies. Since 1918, CMTA has worked with state government to develop balanced laws, effective regulations and sound public policies to stimulate economic growth and create new jobs while safeguarding the state's environmental resources. CMTA represents businesses from the entire manufacturing community – an economic sector that generates more than $250 billion every year and employs more than 1.2 million Californians.
"Carly Fiorina is the pro-business candidate for U.S. Senate. When jobs and the economy are the primary focus of all Californians, we would be well served to have a U.S. senator who has created private-sector jobs, has had to balance budgets and knows how unnecessary government regulation can stifle investment," said California Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer Allan Zaremberg. "Carly is a proven leader who will bring common-sense solutions to an out-of-touch political process in Washington."
Tracing its roots back to the California State Board of Trade's establishment in 1890, CalChamber works to make California a better place to do business by giving private-sector employers a voice in state politics and by providing a full range of California-specific products and services. The organization now serves as an advocate for some 15,000 job creators and works to enhance the California economy by making it a better place to live, work and do business.
"I am honored to have the support of these job creators and their members behind my campaign, and I look forward to fighting with them to implement policies that spur job creation and economic growth in California and around the United States," said Fiorina. "Under the leadership of career politicians like Barbara Boxer, we have made it harder – not easier – for companies to grow, succeed and hire Americans. That's a record of failure we reject today. If we are serious about growing our economy and creating jobs, then we must send new leadership to the U.S. Senate, and that begins by replacing Barbara Boxer this November."
Fiorina's economic growth plan focuses on unleashing the talents and energies of California's workers, small-business owners, innovators and entrepreneurs by getting government out of the way and reducing uncertainty that is inevitably caused by intrusive and over-reaching government regulatory policies. Fiorina today also earned the endorsement of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Fresno Chamber of Commerce.
Carly Fiorina Joins Farmers and Ranchers in Urging Barbara Boxer to Stand Against Largest Tax Hike in American HistoryFriday, August 6th, 2010
Fiorina Also Earns Endorsement of California Grape and Tree Fruit League President Barry Bedwell
FRESNO, CA – U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina was today joined by Fresno-area farmers and ranchers at Tri-Boro Fruit Company for a press conference to urge Senator Barbara Boxer to stand with California's agriculture industry in opposing the largest tax increase in United States history, which includes a 55 percent death tax that will particularly hurt California's farmers and ranchers.
"In the midst of one of the worst economic downturns in a generation, California families simply cannot afford to pay an additional $1,600 in higher taxes next year. And California family farms and ranches – who have already suffered a one-two punch from a bad economy and restricted water flow to the Central Valley – can't afford to be saddled with a 55 percent death tax," said Fiorina. "Today, I join these hard-working farmers and ranchers in urging Barbara Boxer to stand against the largest tax hike in American history. I hope – but I do not expect – that she will, for once, support policies in Washington that will make it easier for these family-owned businesses and entrepreneurs to grow, succeed and create jobs."
The 2001 and 2003 tax relief measures are currently scheduled to expire at the end of this year. If Congress fails to extend them in the next five months, this would represent the largest tax increase in American history, $3.8 trillion, and would cost the average middle-income California family more than $1,600 in higher taxes next year. Fiorina has consistently called for both the extension of these important relief measures and for abolishing the death tax; Barbara Boxer, however, has voted against death tax relief at least 18 times and has voted for more than $1 trillion in higher taxes during her nearly three decades in Washington.
"Carly Fiorina understands the importance of fighting for and standing with our state's agriculture industry, and she will be a vocal advocate for us in the U.S. Senate," said California Grape and Tree Fruit League President Barry Bedwell. "Among the most important agriculture issues Carly will champion is the end of the 55 percent death tax, which hurts successful farmers and ranchers who want to pass down their land and livestock to future generations – essentially taxing the American dream. I'm proud to stand with Carly in calling for an end to this devastating tax and to support her campaign for Senate."
Also speaking at the press conference were Agriculture Leaders for Carly co-chair and California Cattlemen's Association President-Elect Kevin Kester, who discussed his family's being forced to sell off several pieces of their ranch after his grandfather passed away. As a result of their death tax payments, the family witnessed a significant decrease in the ranch's ability to hire, reinvest in the business and purchase much-needed goods and materials. Similarly, J&L Vineyards Owner and Operator Debbie Jacobson may have to sell a large portion of family property due to taxes assessed on their estate after the recent death of her parents.
Carly Fiorina Hosts Roundtable with Asian American Business Leaders in SunnyvaleWednesday, August 4th, 2010
SUNNYVALE, CA – During a meeting with Asian American business leaders in Sunnyvale, U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina today discussed the disastrous results of Barbara Boxer's 28-year career in Washington and the negative impact higher taxes and thicker regulations are having on small-business owners across California. Fiorina also presented her own proposals to create jobs, grow the economy and rein in federal spending.
"California's small businesses are the embodiment of the American dream, and the policies implemented by our leaders in Washington should always foster and cultivate the ideals of freedom, entrepreneurship and innovation on which our nation was built," said Fiorina. "However, the course Barbara Boxer and her fellow Democrats in Congress have charted is leading our nation toward economic stagnation – not economic growth. From her votes for more than $1 trillion in higher taxes to her support for onerous new mandates on California's enterprises, Barbara Boxer is clearly no friend of small businesses. That's why she must be replaced this November."
Since declaring her intention to run for U.S. Senate, Fiorina has consistently focused on job creation and economic growth. In particular, the economic growth plan she unveiled in April calls for extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, eliminating the estate tax, eliminating capital gains taxes on small-business investments, instituting a two-year payroll tax holiday for small businesses and start-up businesses that hire unemployed workers, and creating "Jobs for Americans Zones" that provide businesses in targeted geographic areas a 10-year tax holiday for facilities repatriated from overseas and a five-year tax holiday for start-ups and expansions.
"California is home to more than half a million Asian-owned businesses, and these companies play an important role in our economy," added McDonald's owner and community leader C.C. Yin, who is also an honorary chair of Asian Americans for Carly. "Carly understands how important it is to support these companies by cutting taxes and reducing the thicket of regulation that inhibits their growth and success, and that's why I am standing behind her campaign for U.S. Senate today."
Also participating in the event were Asian Americans for Carly statewide chair Ann Hoang Fogliani and 888 Auto Corporation Owner Maria Chen. Last month, Fiorina launched Asian Americans for Carly and announced the support of such prominent Asian Americans as Board of Equalization Member Michelle Steel and former Assemblyman Alan Nakanishi.
Carly Fiorina Opposes Nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court of the United StatesWednesday, August 4th, 2010
SACRAMENTO, CA – Carly Fiorina today announced that she has decided not to support Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States.
"I believe the Senate's duty to 'advise and consent' requires a thorough review of judicial nominees and their records. I closely followed the Senate's confirmation hearings and have taken time to carefully consider how I would vote on Elena Kagan's nomination were I a member of the Senate today.
"The confirmation process revealed that she has many admirable qualities – an ability to solve problems, an energetic mind and an enthusiasm for her colleagues and her work – all of which qualify her to serve as Solicitor General, the Dean of a Law School or even as a legislator. However, the process also underscored her lack of experience as a jurist, which in my mind is a key element in determining whether or not a nominee is qualified to serve as a member of the Supreme Court.
"As a member of the Court, her duties would be to faithfully interpret the Constitution and, in many cases, to exercise judicial restraint. Unfortunately, her complete lack of judicial experience coupled with a public record that sheds minimal light on how she would execute these duties gives me great pause about her qualifications to serve on the highest court in the land. It is for that reason that I have decided not to support her nomination to this position."
Statewide Volunteer Chair: Join Us Today!Monday, August 2nd, 2010
Guest post by Chuck McDougald, Statewide Volunteer Chair, Carly for California
I'm excited to join Carly today in announcing the county and local chairs of the Carly for California grassroots leadership team. We have an impressive team of individuals who are dedicated to spreading Carly's message and building support for her campaign. Up and down the state, our grassroots team is mobilizing our efforts to get Carly elected in November.
Carly believes that our Founding Fathers envisioned our nation to be lead by a citizen government—that's what they meant when they said of, for and by the people. Carly's real-world experience and understanding of what it takes to create a job stands in stark contrast with Boxer's decades-long record of increasing spending and implementing onerous regulations that make it harder for small businesses to survive. It speaks volumes that Carly, who has never run for office, has a more vibrant and energized grassroots team than her opponent who has spent more time in office than most Californians have been alive.
Joining me in our grassroots leadership team are Statewide Volunteer Coordinator Evie Coss, Statewide Volunteer Senior Advisor Richard Sherman, Statewide Volunteer Senior Advisor Jalene Forbis, Statewide Volunteer Senior Advisor Joel Strom, Statewide Volunteer Senior Advisor Cathie Bennett Warner, Statewide Volunteer Senior Advisor Luis Buhler and Statewide Volunteer Senior Advisor Michael Schwab. Together with our dedicated county and local chairs, we are committed to spreading Carly's message of job creation, economic growth and fiscal responsibility to all of California's voters.
With grassroots volunteer chairs representing every county in the state, now is the perfect time for you to sign up and join our team! Click here to sign up as a volunteer and take your government back, make it listen and make it work.
Carly Fiorina Announces County and Local Grassroots LeadersMonday, August 2nd, 2010

These dedicated Californians will help build support for Fiorina's campaign in their respective geographic areas and will help get out the vote for her on Election Day.

PPIC Poll Confirms Boxer's Vulnerability, Declining SupportWednesday, July 28th, 2010
SACRAMENTO, CA – Carly for California Deputy Campaign Manager Julie Soderlund today issued the following statement regarding the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) Statewide Survey showing that Barbara Boxer's support and lead have declined significantly since PPIC's last survey in May:
"This poll is good news, and it confirms what an increasing number of election watchers have recently noted: despite being known by nearly all Californians, despite having been a politician for more than three decades and despite her millions of dollars in stockpiled campaign cash, support for Barbara Boxer is declining, the race is tightening, and Carly Fiorina has a clear opportunity to defeat her this November.
"The movement in this race from being a clear win for Boxer to a 'toss-up' is a testament both to Boxer's failure as a senator and to Carly's strength as a challenger. The financial commitments made to Carly's campaign by several organizations in the past week only further underscore the growing recognition that this race is both competitive and winnable, even in deep blue California. And as voters learn more about Boxer's support for more than $1 trillion in tax increases, job-killing legislation paid for at taxpayers' expense and a massive expansion in government, we expect Boxer's support to drop even further."
This morning, the Washington Post moved California's Senate race from the "lean Democratic" category to the "toss-up" category. The Rothenberg Political Report and the Cook Political Report previously moved the race to "toss-up." Earlier this week, the National Republican Senatorial Committee announced it has reserved $1.75 million in television time in the final weeks of the general election campaign.
Southern Chair Tom Garcia on Carly's Veterans CoalitionTuesday, July 27th, 2010
Tom Garcia, Retired Army Specialist, Statewide Southern District Chair, Veterans for Carly
I am proud and excited to be the Statewide Southern District Chair for Veterans for Carly Fiorina. I joined Carly today in San Diego to help her announce the launch of the veterans coalition and to talk about issues of importance to veterans, including jobs for recently returned solders, health care and supporting our troops.
I believe California needs a senator who respects our men and women in uniform. As a veteran, I took great offense with Barbara Boxer's careless comments equating being a senator with serving in the military. Unfortunately, this was just the most recent comment in Boxer's long history of disrespecting our men and women in uniform. Boxer has a deplorable record when it comes to one of the most critical military issues: troop funding. In 2001, she voted against $847 million in funding for much-needed mission-critical and force-protection maintenance. And in 2003, Boxer voted with only 12 other senators to try and defeat an $87 billion supplemental for supporting troops in the field and their families at home.
She was also one of only 25 senators who voted against condemning a MoveOn.org ad that attacked General David Petraeus. The ad accused the general of "cooking the books" and called him "General Betray Us." And let's not forget when she dressed down a brigadier general on national television, asking that he call her "senator" instead of "ma'am".
It's time we had a senator who gives our troops the respect they deserve. That is why I am working to elect Carly Fiorina in November. Carly also has the real-world experience necessary to get our economy running again. She knows what it takes to create a job—something Boxer, with her 34 years as a career politician, has no idea how to do. Jobs are important to all Americans, but especially to our veterans returning from active duty. We need someone in office who understands that we need to help small-business owners and entrepreneurs in order to create jobs and jump start the economy, not spend billions of taxpayer dollars on a failed stimulus plan.
It's time for Barbara Boxer to go. And I know that, with the help of the veterans' community in California, we can work together to defeat Boxer and elect Carly Fiorina as our next senator.
Carly Fiorina Issues Statement on $1.47 Trillion Federal DeficitFriday, July 23rd, 2010
SACRAMENTO, CA – U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina today issued the following statement in response to the Office of Management and Budget report released this afternoon projecting that the federal deficit will hit a record $1.47 trillion this year:
"Today's report underscores just how deep a pit Barbara Boxer and Washington have dug for the people of this country. Under their watch, unemployment continues to soar, and we now know our federal deficit will reach a record $1.47 trillion this year. Still, Boxer remains intent on spending even more of taxpayers' money and continues to talk about even more earmarks and even more government growth.
"It is painfully clear that Barbara Boxer and her colleagues in Washington have spent far too much of our money – and have no intention of changing direction anytime soon. Americans are already on the hook for billions of dollars in bailouts, and we simply cannot afford another six years of Boxer's free-spending ways. Barbara Boxer obviously has no intention of making the tough choices necessary to set our nation on a path toward fiscal sanity, which is why we must replace her this November with a senator who will."

The frequency illusion. We've all experienced it. (It's also called the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon). That's when you see something - a picture, a concept, a word, an idea - over and over again, all of a sudden. It seems like you're being sent some sort of message. The truth is, you may be. In our case, we've had an idea come up multiple times this week, almost like a theme. It has to do with honesty. Or more specifically, about being honest with ourselves.
Now the first time this came up, it was in Eleanor Beaton's community of practice group. Eleanor was discussing being radically honest with ourselves about our priorities. In other words, if we say something is important, but we keep pushing it aside, perhaps it isn't as important as we say it is. We need to unpack that and find out why we're dodging it. Is it really not so much of a priority? Or if it is, why are we putting our commitment to the end of the queue? We need to make a firm decision, then either drop it, or drop something else and focus on making it happen with the effort it (and we) deserve.
In the second instance, I was having a discussion with a new member of my network. We were talking about one of the reasons it can be better to hire a passionate but neutral third party researcher to have discussions with your customers about satisfaction with you and your performance as an organization. I call this the "do these pants make me look fat" rule. When I ask Steve that question, he is honest, but diplomatically so. In other words, he might be a bit too kind, even if that isn't giving me the kind of honesty I really need, to be sure I look my absolute best. (To be fair, I've trained him to know that I want the truth in this instance). In many cases, a best friend or a sister might be more willing to give the answer we need, instead of the one we want.
The third time it came up, we were working with one of our clients on a study to understand what customers and prospects want and need. They're considering a number of new offerings, and want to see how those things rate, and rank, in the customer's mind. Now we've done this sort of study hundreds of times, and nearly every time, there are features or offerings on the list that the customer has no intention (or no ability) to deliver. Then, in the worst cases, the customer says those are exactly what they want. So much that they will do anything (including switching suppliers) to get them.
Now you may think that asking a prospect or a customer or a user whether they want something, when you know you can't or won't give it to them, is letting you know where a competitor might have an edge. And you're right. But if you suspect it gives them an edge, it probably does. The other thing it's doing, is setting up an unrealistic expectation (and possibly setting the stage for dissatisfaction or disappointment). If the customer wasn't thinking of it after all, they will be, going forward. So Steve asked them, "Be honest with yourselves. Perhaps if there is anything here you have no intention of providing, whether you can't or you won't, you should take it off the list." This prompt will give them a chance to take a step back and engage their customers authentically and honestly.
What themes have been coming up for you again and again this week? What do they mean? If you need a hand getting your team to engage in some insightful truth-telling, we're here to help. Just let us know.
I'm Megann Willson, the CEO and a Partner here at PANOPTIKA, with COO Steve Willson.

Food security: FAO supports South Sudan households with tools and seeds to resume food production
Comments : Off
South Sudan
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said it has distributed vital crop seeds and tools to over 180,000 household farmers in South Sudan. The initiative, it said, will benefit 1.1 million people in the nation.
The agency anticipates that seeds will reach the farmers before the planting season, giving them enough time to prepare land. According to FAO, most families in South Sudan had depleted seed reserves, either because they were unable to plant last year or because of low harvests.
At the same, their incomes were reportedly reduced, lowering their purchasing power and preventing them from replenishing their reserves by buying seeds in local markets.
The continuation of violence in South Sudan has forced many farmers to abandon their land, making it impossible to plant food crops. In areas where security has improved, such as Western Equatoria, Unity and Jonglei, farmers are returning and FAO's support has been crucial in enabling them to plant and resume food production.

In recent years, the option to have WordPress websites built using WordPress has become increasingly used, and therefore more popular as well.
It does have its pitfalls, but if you know what you are doing, the results can be astounding.
79DESIGN has developed many responsive web sites using WordPress and their themes.
These themes can be downloaded for free, or more advanced themes purchased, but it comes with issues; if you don't know what you are doing, it can be really cumbersome, and time-consuming, and a very slow learning curve.
For example, you have your theme… and now what? How do you get thoses sliders on there, how do you get your brand colouring on there. If it's all in green, how do you get all your reds to be in the right places? This is after you have added your pages, posts and social media.
These are not questions that can be answered and fixed by just anyone, unless you have weeks and weeks for your site to either be a holding page, or worse still, broken, while you sort it.
We always, without fail, put your new web site into a 'beta' form, so no user nor particularly Google can find it. If it finds a web site with no content, no metas, no shorturls in it, it will sting you badly, and lose you so much ranking position, it will take months, maybe years to get it back. So a beta form is where the site is protected and our of the way of your current 'working live' site.
We are experts in styling, specially in WordPress where it really is a minefield of code and data. What's the difference between a Post and a Page? How do you get your menus working correctly and styled right? How do you get an image on the web site and use it correctly? Why won't widgets a) appear on the homepage, but is on all other pages.
By far the biggest problem faced though is the colour styling. The get your WordPress Site right, the underline colourings, borders, hoverovers etc, all need to be in your brands colouring, else pink and yellow will show, where it should be red and blue. And trust us, not all colours are set in the "Theme Options".
Hire a company that knows what they are doing; that has built multiple based and advanced WP Template web sites, and remove the headache you might just get from having a go.
A few examples of our WordPress Websites are:
Examples of Blogs we have created using WordPress are:
…. and of course this one!
These don't include the countless web sites we have on domains' "beta" areas, where they are currently in testing and being built for clients. We have one set right now that should be having a 50 web site roll out in 2015, all using WordPress alone!
If you have tried and have problems, don't hesitate to contact us, as we might be able to help you.

An Indiana State Trooper was shot by his 11-year-old son on Feb. 22 with his own .45 caliber duty weapon.
The boy's mother told investigators that she and her husband, Matt Makowski, were asleep when she heard a loud "gong" noise. Then her husband started screaming.
After finding her husband bleeding from the wound in his buttocks, she hurried to the bedroom door where she found the pistol lying on the floor just outside the door.
While on the phone with 911, she secured the weapon and reported witnessing her son walking up the stairs towards her with a bb gun in one hand and the TASER in the other.
She quickly closed the bedroom, locked it, and awaited the arrival of police.
When officers arrived, the deadbolted front door prevented them from accessing the home. The boy yelled:
"Do you want me to open the door?"
Officers replied that they did, and then instructed him to lie on the floor. The boy complied and was taken into custody without incident.
Makowski's son wasn't bashful in revealing his motives. He told police, he'd taken the weapon and TASER from his fathers locked police vehicle parked outside the home because he was angry his video games had been removed from the home by his parents.
He then tested the TASER on the family dog before heading to his parent's bedroom. The 11-year-old boy said he'd wanted to shoot his father in the head, but waited about "ten minutes" for him to roll over because then,
"… he wouldn't see me shooting him," he said.
But because of the way his father laid after rolling over, the only target available was his father's buttocks.
Seemingly unperturbed by the traumatic events, court documents reveal Makowski's son had some demands and a warning for detectives. Saying he wanted a PlayStation, Xbox, and a computer. And,
"… (he was) going to get these simple things or there would be a Part Two."
St. Joseph County police had been in contact with the boy's family sometime before the shooting for a "possible battery" case involving an 8-year-old neighbor boy who needed to be treated at the Saint Joseph Regional Hospital emergency room.
His mother described her fifth-grader as having few friends at school, and behavioral problems which worsened after the family got the dog last year in 2018.
She also described a strained relationship between a father and a son who often threatened to harm himself when being disciplined.
When asked by a detective if he was the one who shot his father, the boy replied,
"Yes, sometimes I don't think right."
Makowski said he'd kept the pistol locked in his duty vehicle because he didn't want his children to be able to access the weapons. His son told officers he'd attempted to get the gun three separate times unsuccessfully, with his father catching him once and warning him to stay away.
A petition filed by St. Joseph County prosecutors alleges delinquency (a juvenile criminal charge) for attempted murder.
Keeping your weapons locked up, especially when there are young and/or struggling people living in your home, is critically important as this example proves. It's takes discipline and commitment to stay on top of it, and a robust safe with a code or combination.
