You should always read very carefully the various terms of service associated with the social media networks in which you participate – particularly with respect to ownership of the material that you post and/or share on these sites. In other words, do you know who owns what you post?
Recently, one social media site's public announcement highlighted this question in appalling clarity. On December 17, 2012, Instagram announced that it had the right to sell any photo that you took and uploaded using its service – in other words, to "commercialize" it. (SeeCNET's article about the change in terms: Declan McCullagh, "Instagram says it now has the right to sell your photos," CNET, Dec. 17, 2012.)
If you are unfamiliar with Instagram, it used to be a standalone company, but was recently acquired by Facebook and is used on Facebook to share customized photos with your networks.
Here's the rub: the right to distribute (or not to) is actually an exclusive right set forth in the Copyright Act as being owned EXCLUSIVELY by the copyright owner. 17 U.S.C. §106. Not by a vendor who handles the distribution.
Unless the author has licensed its ability to redistribute an "original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression" (as an original photograph surely is) to another, any redistribution of a published work constitutes copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. §501, and carries certain remedies and penalties depending on the context.
The public outcry in response to this notice was apparently widespread, as Instagram immediately appeared to retract this statement, and stated that users retain the copyrights in their original photographs even when posting them using Instagram's tools. Declan McCullagh and Donna Tam, "Instagram apologizes to users: We won't sell your photos," CNET, Dec. 18, 2012; see also Instagram Blog, "Thank You and We're Listening," Dec. 18, 2012. Its restatement of the policy suggested that Instagram believed the hue and cry to have been solely based on a misunderstanding of the revised terms of use and privacy policies.
In this restatement, Instagram explained that ownership rights would not change as a result of this policy, and neither would any privacy settings users have already set. Current Version of Instagram's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, updated Dec. 18, 2012.
The Copyright Alliance points out that this explanation does not meant that Instagram cannot commercialize your images – in fact, the text that Instagram removed was merely a disclosure of the ways in which it "can" use your photos:
"Instagram has issued a statement saying that it has heard its customer's complaints, is removing the clause that most offended its customers, and reverting to its old terms of use. But ironically, the clause that caused the outrage, and which Instagram says it has removed, was merely a disclosure and acknowledgment by the user of how Instagram could use a customer's images. Removing that clause alone doesn't change the license the user grants Instagram. Moreover, even if Instagram reverts to its current terms of service, those terms of use not only permit Instagram to commercialize user posted images in virtually unrestricted ways, they pass the responsibility for paying any royalties or fees owed for such commercialization on to the user who originally posted the works." (emphasis added). Read the Copyright Alliance's full article for more on this point, "Instagram Still Has the Right to Commercialize Your Work (or Why You Should Read Terms of Service Carefully)," Dec. 21, 2012.
The lesson to be learned here is to be proactive with all of your social media use – understand what Terms of Service apply to your use, and whether the company will be using your information in a way with which you are not comfortable. Review carefully to determine whether by using their site, you automatically grant the site a license to use your content (your text, pictures, video, whatever) without specific notice or obtaining your consent to that specific use.
And, try to stay on top of changes to these policies in case changes are made that further impose on your privacy or intellectual property rights. Many of these policies have a "these terms can be modified without prior notice" provision, but the sites may also host blogs that announce new features or changes to their services. You might want to subscribe to them (through RSS feeds or email) so that you are notified promptly of any advertised changes.
Here are links to some of the more commonly-used social media sites, and their relevant blogs (if available):
· Facebook ("Facebook and privacy"; privacy policy; terms of service)
· MySpace (privacy policy; terms of service; "learn more")
· Twitter (blog; privacy policy; status)
· LinkedIn (blog; community guidelines; privacy policy)
· Pinterest (terms of service; privacy policy; acceptable use policy; features blog; news blog)

Christina: It's been realllly quiet around here today
Michelle: Not all of us have as much downtime at our jobs as you do.
Christina: Aditi's probably hiding from you sis
Elli: ZOMG didn't realize you guys would feel so neglected now that I've got a job!
Taneesha: Job? Did someone say job?
Aditi: Not hiding! How's it working out, Elli? Good? This is with that author you met at the con? Ruby?
Elli: YES she's completely amazing. Author and comic book artist you guys. She was in a car accident when she was a little girl and so she's in a wheelchair for life.
Aditi: She seemed really nice. So awesome you're getting along!
Michelle: Elli, you're assisting her?
Elli: Yes it's great. I went to the post office for her today and she didn't even mind that I caught Pokemon on the way. She even wanted to see what I'd caught! I've never had a boss like that before. She's a real person like us.
Taneesha: Well? What'd you catch?
Elli: LOL finally got enough charmanders to evolve one. There's a spawn point right near the post office.
Taneesha: To charmeleon? Or all the way to charizard?
Elli: Charmeleon. But if I have to keep going back to the spot I'll have a charizard in no time. *roars*
Christina: I only have the vaguest idea what you are talking about
Taneesha: Eighty million people are playing this game. How did you avoid getting sucked in?
Christina: The pocket monsters I deal with are NSFW
Michelle: And how's she paying you, Elli?
Elli: Um? With money?
Taneesha: Not pokecoins? LOL
Michelle: I mean is it above board, taxable 1099 income, or whatever the equivalent is in Canada?
Elli: Yeah, it's all very official.
Michelle: Okay.
Elli: She even agrees with me on my theory that the reason Draco is so completely emotionless in the scene where he doesn't expose Harry to the Death Eaters is that by then he's secretly in love with Harry.
Christina: Elli, I love you, but you've been reading too much slash.
Elli: No, really, Ruby pointed out something I hadn't even thought of! All the times in Deathly Hallows when Harry has visions of Draco? We always assumed it's because of Harry's connection to Voldemort. But what if it's actually something about Draco? Why would those be the only scenes Harry sees and not stuff like when Charity Burbage was killed?
Michelle: I'd have to read the books again. I don't remember them in such close detail anymore.
Aditi: But Elli, why would J. K. Rowling hide such a love story so deep in the work? Harry and Ginny are a thing. Their relationship is set up from the very first time Ginny lays eyes on him.
Elli: Ruby says she's a *beard.* That's a woman that a gay man pretends to date.
Christina: We know what a beard is
Elli: Point is, Ginny is a cover story. Her existence pretty much proves my theory. And Rowling had to hide it because YA.
Aditi: That's no excuse. You can write gay characters in YA. It doesn't have to be a secret. Why would she do that? J. K. Rowling wouldn't do that.
Elli: She did it with Dumbledore
Taneesha: Elli has a point there.
Christina: I'll still never get why we can't have gay characters in Harry Potter but we can have stalking in Twilight? Which was YA too right?
Michelle: Well, technically the early Potter books were middle grade, not young adult.
Christina: *eyeroll*
Aditi: You're right about that, C. Thank goodness the pernicious effects of Twilight are starting to fade from YA, though.
Taneesha: Which pernicious effects?
Aditi: For a while you couldn't turn around without bumping into another rapey stalker boyfriend in YA, there were so many of them. Books like Hush, Hush really bothered me.
Michelle: You know, that's a great topic for a guest blog. If you can write it without putting down any other authors or books by name, that is. I wouldn't want some other author declaring a vendetta against you. Maybe just keep it focused on why YOU didn't want to write a rapey book.
Aditi: You mean like "YA isn't immune to rape culture, and popular books sometimes even perpetuate it"?
Michelle: Yes, perfect.
Aditi: It'll mean putting this work on the sequel on the back burner for another day . . .
Michelle: Hate to sound like a broken record, but the blogs are due, too, A.
Christina: YA's got nothing on Hollywood for pushing rape culture, though, srsly
Michelle: No kidding.
Christina: At least most YA editors aren't actively telling their authors to add rape scenes to their books to make them "sexier." I told you about the bullshit with them changing a consensual sex scene to a rape scene in Sucker Punch, right? Bc the movie would have gotten an X rating with a consensual scene, but only an R with a rape in it. Fucked. Up.
Aditi: You did tell us. It's...

A Hot Springs Village Property Owners' Association member is seeking compensation for damage he says his boat suffered on Lake Cortez in July.
Glen Robertson, who has lived in the Village for more than a decade, contends normal lake dredging could have prevented the damage. He filed a claim for $1,761 in Garland County District Court, Small Claims Division, in August.
He says that was the amount of damage to his propeller and motor.
The case is now in the district court's civil division. Brian L. Johnson of the Tapp Law Firm in Hot Springs is now representing Robertson in his civil case.
Amy Markham of the Spicer Rudstrom PLLC law firm's Little Rock office, which represents the POA in the case, contends in the case's paperwork that patrons of the lake are responsible for any accident or damage they experience.
POA assistant general manager Linda Mayhood told the Voice the POA's insurance company had denied Robertson's claim.
Robertson told the Voice the damaged occurred after his boat reached a legal wake area. "I had two grandkids with me," he said. He said he moved slowly until reaching the end of the no-wake zone, then throttled up in the legal zone.
He said he struck a large underwater rock some 80 yards out. "It was a long way out," he said.
Robertson said he spoke to a POA employee. Robertson was later contacted by a Traveler's Insurance representative and ultimately was told the POA had properly marked the hazard.
Robertson said he also addressed the POA lakes committee about the issue in September. The plaintiff contends the rocks weren't marked on that July day, and weren't even marked with a buoy three months later.
"They only thing they have is a generic sign saying 'Launch at your own risk,'" he said.
The Voice attempted to contact Johnson several times, but received a recording and was unable to leave a message.
Robertson said he didn't want to take the case beyond small-claims court. "This is not my choice," he said.
A letter in the case file from the district-court clerk told the plaintiff that because an attorney would represent the POA, the case was transferred to the civil division.
Robertson said that forced him to hire an attorney. He now also seeks attorney fees and expenses, as well as the $1,761.
The POA more than tripled its 2014 lakes budget from the original $42,000 proposal, and developed a comprehensive lakes-management plan. Water testing and dredging are two key elements of the lakes plan.

include the photos and caption from Rolling Stone "Hard Rock, Rock Hard" and some stuff about Livin right. Link to Natalie's page that I "plagiarized"
Hard Rock, Rock Hard Originally appeared in Rolling Stone Magazine December 14-18, 1989 Another sign of the times: Glenn Frey joined Cher, Sheena Easton, and Joe Piscopo by flaunting his newly pumped bod in ads for Jack LaLanne Fitness Centers. "I feel very strongly about fitness," said the co-author of "Life in the Fast Lane" and "Take It Easy". (Asked about his previous lifestyle, he replied, "Use your imagination.") Frey did, however, admit to having a further incentive to do the ads: "They offered me a shitload of money."

I always seem to have leftover kale in my fridge. If you took an unannounced picture of my refrigerator's content once a week, kale would be a consistent member. I'd like to say, we eat it as quickly as I buy it, but I would be lying to you. We don't. I try my damnedest to incorporate it into as much as possible. But after days of chicken (and kale) enchiladas or yet another soup featuring the perky green, I start to get bored. There is someone in our household who happens to adore kale though. He will even eat it totally raw and practically beg me for it. Crazy I know. Honestly, if it wasn't for our dog Pete, I would forever feel guilt about the wilting kale sitting in the corner of the fridge. Thanks to him, we don't have to worry about that.
So to return the favor, I decided to make him some homemade doggie treats. This is something I really enjoy doing for the little guy. To tell you the truth, I don't think the ingredients in those store-bought dog treats are all that fresh or wholesome…but I could be wrong. It's just a wild guess. With that being said, I like the fact that I can create snacks for him, with a minimum of ingredients and freshness guaranteed. I wonder if I will be this crazy with my human babies? Only time will tell. I digress.
So there I am staring at a bunch of languishing kale in my fridge and I ask myself out loud "What am I gonna do with this kale?" I notice Pete's ears perk up at the question. So I said to him "Kale?" and he sits up. Now I usually talk to Pete while I'm cooking. It's really so I can get away with talking to myself while I cook (which I do often) and my neighbors won't think I'm crazy. Besides, Pete is usually at the edge of the kitchen, waiting for me to toss him a kale leaf or for a rogue piece of carrot to fall. This little guy loves veggies, which is good because Mike and I could survive on pasta and potatoes if we really needed to – not that we would, that wouldn't be healthy at all.
Now we all feel good, because there are no greens in the trash, Pete has a treat he loves, and Mike and I don't have to eat scrambled eggs with kale in the morning. I decided to incorporate one of my pup's favorite veggies into a crunchy treat that I can feel really good about feeding him. All the ingredients are very good for dogs and most likely better for them than a Beggin'Strip. Just sayin'.
Kale and Flax Doggie Treats
makes about 100 treats (I made mine bite-sized but if you cut larger treats this recipe would yield less)
1/4 cup hot water
1 package dry yeast
1 1/2 cups kale juice (I make my own by blending 1 bunch of kale in a blender with 4 cups water)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups wheat germ
1 cup oat flour (I make my own by processing rolled oats in a food processor until powdery)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the water and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the kale juice, all-purpose flour, wheat germ, oat flour and whole wheat flour. Mix well until combined (dough will be very stiff). Dump the dough out onto a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper. Place another sheet on top of the dough and roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough using a pizza wheel or sharp knife into desired shape. Prick holes into the tops of the treats with the tines of a fork. (You can skip this step, if so your treats will not be flat, they will puff up like little pillows!).
Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through cooking. Turn the oven off and leave the sheets inside to dry-out the treats, about an hour. Once dried-out, pack in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.

Some topics are difficult to talk about in kindergarten and first grade. We want to teach kids about history, but we don't want to share some of the horrific details because it is just not developmentally appropriate. And so here is a teacher approved list of Martin Luther King Videos. These videos teach the ideas and history without the focusing on the negative (they can learn about that when they are in higher grades).
The Story of Martin Luther King Jr. by Kid President (3:26)
This is such a great video and it really should be seen by all kids. It talks about Dr. King's life and how wanted more people will show love. "When more people were hurting, he came in to help". It talks about what happens in a developmentally appropriate way for our little learners. This is honestly one of my favorite Kid President videos – very well done! It has a great message "isn't it cool that we can change things, like any of us." Very powerful video.
Dr. Martin Luthre King, Jr. Biography for Children (6:04)
A great video full of details about what Dr. King stood for. This is also very well done.
This video would go PERFECTLY with our Nonfiction Martin Luther King Books because it too is filled with facts and photos. Students will love reading this book along with you (it comes with a teacher book and matching student version) and they will love using some of those same pictures in the writing activities. Click here to see more.
Fun Cartoon on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for Kids (3:00)
This is an information packed video about Dr. King and his life. It talks about thinks like his schooling, how he got his name, and many of the things did to make the world a better place. This video is very tastefully done and
MLK – The King and his Dream (3:26)
Another great video. This video talks about his life and his work as a person of change. One of the best parts of this video is the real footage of his I Have a Dream Speech. They play just a small, yet powerful part of his speech.
And in kindergarten we love to tie things back into our writing. This Martin Luther King Writing Craft is the perfect support to get some amazing stories. And then instead of illustrating the story, the kids do this fun craft. Click here to see more.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Video for Kids (2:32)
This video is just too fun. It's made by a kindergartener names Anna who was interested in learning about Dr. King. She shares all of the important facts and since she herself is a kindergartener, the content is perfect!
Martin Luther King, Jr. I Have a Dream Song (1:36)
This is a super easy song from Kiboomers the kids can learn and sing about Martin Luther King. It's a cute and catchy tune.
Martin Luther King Jr Song (1:48)
Another great song. This song would be a little harder to learn but it is still a great catchy little tune.
I Have A Dream Speech (17:28)
And it just did not feel right to not include a link to the full I Have A Dream Speech. It is my professional opinion that kindergarten students won't be able to follow the message for this amount of time, but if you choose to show it it is completely up to you.

In the collections of the British Museum, there is a decree signed by Julius Caesar in 55 B.C., promising a reward of 300 sestertii to any soldier who brought another to join the Roman army.
This could very well be the first official recruiting program that history can relate to. In the post AD era, a recruiter began to be defined as a person whose job is to enlist or enrol people as employees, in the armed forces, or as members of an organization per Oxford Dictionary.
The importance and prominence of recruiters today often go unnoticed – they very well have the ability to change people's career graphs, touch lives and impact how organizations perform and scale.
A quick look at Google Books Ngram Viewer shows the number of times the word recruiter has been mentioned in books right from 1800 all the way up to 2008.
The recruiting profession has seen exponential growth. Question today is – will this chart continue to see rapid growth and advancement like in the chart between 1960 and 2008 or is it at a point of inflection wherein recruiting's tryst with outbound begins to commence and outbound recruiters are ones that will disrupt current best practices and redefine the hiring mantra in this age of artificial intelligence and candidate delight?
Business needs today are evolving rapidly. Disruptive business models in the form of the subscription economy, uberization and hypermarkets are a clear example. Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods for a whopping $13.7 Billion and Walmart's acquisition of Flipkart for a massive $16 Billion gives you a quick reality check in terms of how business models are transforming overnight.
Quality of talent is turning top priority. Firms no longer are focussing on headcount based growth – but they're actually thinking about being agile and lean. From Sheryl Sandberg to Eric Reis, from business transformation to six sigma implementation – agile and lean are what the enterprise is today moving towards.
Talent Maps are being redrawn – increasing demand for niche skills, the market shifting from an employer-driven market to a candidate driven market and availability of emerging and in-demand skills are increasingly adding to the complexity of defining and executing a strong, scalable and bankable talent strategy today.
Since recruiters are front and centre in ensuring their firms embrace and attract top talent, their abilities, mindsets and approach need to now ship to a way of recruiting that works today – outbound.
Outbound hiring fundamentally flips the inbound recruiting funnel. Instead of waiting for the best talent to wander in, outbound recruiters proactively engage the right people at the very start by using social talent data and predictive analytics.
Businesses save hundreds of recruiting hours that are otherwise wasted on marketing, filtering and screening unqualified candidates. And because outbound hiring delivers a personalized candidate experience at every stage, recruiters and hiring managers see far higher engagement and join rates from candidates.
What outbound hiring boils down to is a targeted, candidate-focused approach that coordinates personalized talent acquisition and business efforts to hire people who succeed in your company.
Which brings me to the heart of this article wherein it is important that we understand the kind of mindset, skills and persona will be needed for recruiters to transform themselves into stellar outbound recruiters.
The way I see the outbound recruiter persona evolving is recruiters developing base knowledge and building blocks of skills like understanding the art of selling, embracing the hunters mind-set and storytelling, developing the ability to do last mile primary and secondary research and back it up by data and analytics to weave compelling stories and narratives to strike a chord with their target segment of candidates.
Additionally, having the ability to zoom in and focus on the details while at the same time pan out and look at the big picture along with deep listening skills backed with stellar observation by virtue of which they're able to build lasting relationships in the marketplace is what will elevate them from competition and score hires at scale.
The next layer of skills that outbound recruiters need to embrace is that of building a strong talent marketing and branding foundation for themselves and their firms.
This is where recruiters need to think and embrace technology in terms of how they themselves and their firms can communicate with candidates in real time using artificial intelligence to optimize time and prioritise their workloads at the same time ensuring that they render candidate delight at every step of the hiring process by leveraging personalisation.
To achieve and execute this, it will need recruiters to have a strong understanding of hiring funnel metrics in terms of what works for them and their firms. The ability to forecast hires just like great sales teams forecast revenue along with ensuring a steady supply of talent at the top, middle and bottom of the funnel become critical.
If recruiters are able to achieve this along with intelligence from the market in the form of talent maps that helps them plot their hiring strategy along with vehicles and channels that they will use to discover, engage and onboard talent in quick time, they can in conjunction use their / their firms thought leadership content to ensure that these prospects remain engaged and therefore increase their offer to join ratios.
The last leg of the outbound recruiter persona framework is recruiters either choosing a single channel outbound hiring play or an omnichannel basis their hiring strategy and demand.
Some can choose to farm great candidates, for instance, engage with top data science talent on a community like Kaggle while others might choose to validate python skills in real time by engaging with talent on Github.
Some might hack public relations as a channel to place top-tier content in leading business dailies through which they can reach targeted segments and then use retargeting as an approach to qualify leads while others might look at a pure play events based strategy to attract prime talent.
Whatever channel they choose, they'll need to beef up their outbound recruiting skills on two levels – one having the base knowledge in place to ensure they're able to discover and engage top talent. And second, build a solid layer of talent marketing and branding foundation to ensure that the targeted talent now converts into actionable hires in quick time.
Exciting times in the world of recruiting. Have you looked at what your current recruiting persona looks like?

PureDWTS Season 23, Week 7 – Power Rankings
Whenever I fill in on the live blog for Heidi, and also simultaneously tweet and take notes for the power rankings, I always worry that I'm gonna just end up repeating the same stuff over and over, and run out of things to say – but oddly enough, live blogging AND tweeting AND taking notes actually helped me work through week 2 of the Topamax brain fog this week, so I feel a lot more lucid now and I'm finding it a lot easier to form coherent thoughts. Silver linings 🙂
There seemed to be a rather interesting line drawn between some of the pros tonight – that line separating the pros who tend to do a lot of "messing about" and time-wasting, and pros who are savvy enough to stay true a theme while still managing to waste very little time getting down to business and making sure their celeb is dancing for the bulk of their time on-stage. And that line did not go unnoticed by the judges – particularly Len, who seemed to be trying to get the train back on the tracks after they went a bit off the rails with some funky scoring in his absence. He not-so-subtly shaded more than one pro for "messin' about" while praising others for getting down to business. What I found a tad unnerving, though, was the way some of the pros seemed to get mouthy back at him, and dismissed some pretty valid points he was making with the usual "Len, you're old and tired" cliches that have been done to death, but still get a chuckle out of the audience. Actually found myself really bothered by the jet lag comment from Val, and the fact that Julianne backed it up – Len definitely wasn't talking out of his ass, and they just kind of poo-poohed it away. Not cool, and I would love to see someone call Julianne out for being a drama queen and hyperbolizer and have Len back them up on the air, and see how she likes it.
On the whole, I think those who ended up with "novelty" or "extra" dances (i.e. Charleston, jitterbug) probably were scored relatively a bit easier than those who got stuck with one of the core ballroom or Latin dances this week, as it seemed like it was easier to parlay the novelty dances to fit the eras theme than it was to make the stricter Latin & ballroom ones without sacrificing content. And I think that's something that probably needs to be spelled out for the pros as they begin choreographing the dances, and the judges probably need to spell it out at the beginning of shows like this – maybe explain what they're looking for in terms of attention paid to the theme vs. amount of syllabus steps, explain whether lifts are allowed, etc. – because there did seem to be some confusion, not only among the pros, but the judges themselves. Or that could just be them making things up as they go along, who knows 😛 Mo going home = seemed like the right time. Like Amber, I just did not get the impression that it was fun for her anymore, and her relationship with Artem seemed pretty…strained. But next week's elim will likely hurt, because if it is who I think it is – this person is still having a lot of fun and will not want to leave 🙁 Read more..

Just an hour from major English destinations such as Bath and the Cotswolds, spunky Cardiff offers a taste of Welsh flavours sure to leave you with great memories.
Most visitors to Britain don't realize you can hop a train in London and, in just over two hours, arrive in Wales' revitalized capital. From there, you can easily make a side-trip to an open-air museum on Welsh folklife, or head to the lush Wye Valley to visit romantic Tintern Abbey.
Cardiff, like many Industrial Age giants, has reemerged with fresh vigor from its time as a run-down, rust-belt city. Its castle has medieval intrigue as well as Victorian bling, its downtown is vibrant, and its port — which shipped 20% of the world's fuel when coal was king — is now delightful.
While not on many bucket lists, underrated Cardiff (pop. 350,000) offers plenty of reasons to visit.
Rugby and soccer fans know it as the home of Principality Stadium — famous for having Britain's first fully retractable roof. Sci-fi fans know Cardiff as the place where Doctor Who is filmed. But the Welsh view the city as their proud political and cultural capital.
To savour its atmosphere, stroll through one of the many impressive Victorian-era arcades burrowing through the city centre, check out a smattering of museums, and wander the impressively modern waterfront.
One of the top sights is medieval Cardiff Castle, a fun complex that also houses bits of fortresses erected here since Roman times. It was the Normans in the 11th century who made the most impact, building a fortified tower (or "keep") on a mound (a style called "motte-and-bailey").
After rambling the ramparts and climbing the keep, you can also check out a WWII bomb shelter, a Welsh military museum, and some Victorian castle apartments — which are not very historic, but dazzling just the same.
Rebuilt by John Crichton-Stuart, whose income from the coal trade made him one of Europe's wealthiest men in the 1860s, the rooms were turned into a fantastical take on the Middle Ages.
After a dose of history, head to the Docklands on Cardiff Bay to discover the city's most lively and thriving development.
The one-time world capital of coal, Cardiff was nicknamed "Coal-opolis" during the steam-powered Industrial Revolution, when Welsh coal was recognized as the world's finest. But by the mid-1960s the last shipment left Cardiff and, as it did in many British towns, its economy slumped severely.
The Docklands now has state-of-the-art facilities (such as the Wales Millennium Centre for performing-arts) that sit alongside restored historic buildings and the Senedd, a futuristic government centre.
Cardiff can also be a springboard to sights in South Wales. Just 30 minutes away is St. Fagans National History Museum provides a great look at life in pre-industrial Wales.The 45-hectare open-air museum — currently getting a $42 million makeover — has more than 40 rebuilt, fully furnished historic buildings from all corners of Wales, as well as a "castle" (actually a Tudor-era manor house) that shows how the other half lived.
Workshops feature craftspeople eager to demonstrate their skills. And each house is equipped with an expert warming up beside a toasty fire, happy to tell you anything you want to know about life in this old cottage.
Romantics should head to beloved Tintern Abbey, immortalized in verse (by William Wordsworth) and on canvas (by J. M. W. Turner). Founded in 1131 on a site chosen for its tranquility, it functioned as a Cistercian abbey until it was dissolved under Henry VIII.
Few ruined abbeys are as big, as remarkably intact, or as picturesquely situated. Most of the external walls still stand, along with its exquisite window tracery and outlines of the sacristy, chapter house, and dining hall.
The daylight that floods through the roofless ruins highlights the Gothic decorated arches.
Wales is often overshadowed by its neighbours England and Scotland, and South Wales is often passed over for the more dramatic castles and scenery in the north. But in the Cardiff region you'll get a great dose of history and a glimpse of its bright future — all with a lilting Welsh accent.

Canada's public broadcaster faces a showdown with skeptical senators who believe the CBC whitewashed a submission on the spending and salaries of some of its most notable journalists.
The Senate's transport and communications committee now wants to call CBC president Hubert Lacroix to testify again – he has been before the committee before – and is considering other measures to get the information it feels it needs for its study of the challenges facing the broadcaster.
One option being floated behind closed doors is to subpoena the information from the corporation, a power Senate committees have but rarely use.
Documents provided to the committee last month, but only made public Tuesday, include 184 pages of salary ranges for staff at the CBC, including for chief correspondent Peter Mansbridge. According to the documents CBC submitted, Mansbridge's maximum salary scale is about $80,500. The salary scale for high-profile radio host Jian Ghomeshi and TV host Amanda Lang was given as $60,844.32 to $77,390.42.
"Those of us who have had a quick look at it would really question … its accuracy. Some of this stuff looks like fiction," said Sen. Terry Mercer, a Senate Liberal.
"I don't think we're getting the full picture. I don't think this is actually the answer to the question. I think there's a whole bunch more being paid to certain people in the CBC that may be outside of their salary."
Conservative Sen. Don Plett agreed. "I believe that people are making bonuses that are larger than what their salaries are indicating," he said.
"If they try to manipulate things enough … they can maybe come to those numbers, but I find them strange as well."
Contacted Tuesday, Mansbridge declined to comment on his income from the publicly funded CBC, saying "it's personal information."
France Belisle, a CBC spokeswoman, said individual salaries are protected under the Privacy Act.
"This is not the first time a politician has wanted to know the precise amount CBC/Radio-Canada journalists earn. In the competitive environment in which we operate, that information is not public," Belisle said.
The salaries of the country's top TV anchors is a closely guarded industry secret. It's estimated that Mansbridge, CTV's Lisa Laflamme and Global's Dawna Friesen command salaries of around $300,000.
In his recent book on suspended Sen. Mike Duffy, journalist Dan Leger noted that by the end of Duffy's career as a broadcaster at CTV, he was earning $250,000 a year plus an allowance for clothing and a vehicle. (CBC's documents to the committee didn't outline any allowances for any of the employees it listed.)
The Senate committee had asked to speak to Mansbridge. In late March, the CBC declined the invitation, saying in a letter from Lacroix that it wouldn't be appropriate for one of the broadcaster's journalists whose job includes reporting on senators' activities to be questioned by those same senators.
"Some senators have already been using the current study to pursue Mr. Mansbridge's presentation of Senate expense stories; the salary he earns from the corporation; and the terms of his public speeches," Lacroix wrote in the March 28, 2014 letter posted to the CBC's website.
"Journalists, any journalists, must be allowed to do their job, free of political interference."
Lacroix's letter said the CBC had "the utmost respect for the work of Parliament" and was working with the committee on its review of the challenges facing the CBC, including arranging site visits for committee members.
"We would urge senators to focus on understanding these challenges, as reflected in the terms of reference authorized by the Senate of Canada," Lacroix wrote. "CBC/Radio-Canada stands ready, as always, to assist the committee in this work."
Earlier this year, the committee began its study of the future of the CBC given the loss of revenue the corporation faces after losing broadcast rights to National Hockey League games, which will be broadcast by Rogers starting next season. The broadcaster has also seen a reduction of $115 million in federal funding over the past three years.
Last month, the CBC announced it will eliminate 657 jobs to cope with a $130-million budget shortfall; in 2012, the CBC cut almost the same number of positions in response to reduced federal funding.
Lacroix made a sometimes testy appearance before the Senate committee in late February when he faced a grilling about $30,000 of his expense claims. Among the leading questioners in February was Plett, a Conservative from Manitoba who has repeatedly defended his own travel spending.
The committee has time to decide its next step: the CBC study is on hold until the fall as studies of the government's budget implementation bill and another on digital privacy legislation will take precedence on the committee's agenda up to the summer break next month.

CLAREMONT, Calif. - The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Baseball team turned on the power offensively over the doubleheader against Occidental with 20 runs on 29 hits lifting the Stags past the Tigers 10-4 in Game 1 and 10-1 in Game 2 of Saturday's twin-bill at Arce Field.
CMS improves to 9-6-1 overall and 4-5 in the SCIAC with the doubleheader sweep of previously undefeated and first place in the conference foe Occidental, which drops to 16-6 overall and 4-2 within the SCIAC. Occidental entered the day undefeated at 4-0 in conference play and on the heels of a 10-0 victory in seven innings on Friday. The Stags put on a show with the bats, scoring in double-digits in back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Patrick Gavin paced the Stags with six hits in nine at-bats including his first home run of the season along with four RBI to extend his hitting streak to five games and raise his batting average to .370 on the season. Gavin now has six multi-hit games after posting three hits during each end of the twin-bill.
Gavin talks about his teams performance following a doubleheader sweep of Occidental
Game 1
Occidental got on the board first as Eamon McNeil singled to third base and Reid Gibbs scored with the bases loaded in the first inning. Justin Hull (W, 4-1) would buckle down to induce a fly out from Michael Ingram to strand them loaded and limit the damage, down 1-0 through one inning.
The Stags threatened to answer back in the bottom half of the first with two hits, including a single to right by Kevin Nakahara, who went 3-for-4, and a single to center by Gavin but both were left on base.
Hull delivered a clean frame in the second inning after Gus Patrick reached base on an error, a 6-4-3 double play ended the inning.
In the bottom of the third, CMS touched up Tigers starter Will Martel (L, 2-3) for seven runs on six hits and two errors by Occidental. Truman Miller led off the frame with a double to left field, Nakahara kept the line moving with a single to right moving Miller to third, and Ryan Motter lined a single to left to bring in Miller and tie the game 1-1.
The next batter in the third, Zach Clarke drove one up the middle and scored Nakahara to give the Stags a 2-1 lead. Gavin doubled to left scoring Motter, and Marco Castillo reached on an error which scored Clarke.
Occidental went to the bullpen and replaced Martel with reliever Tom Butler, who then allowed a sacrifice fly to Henri Levenson to bring Castillo home. Miller made his second plate appearance in the inning when he reached on an error and Carson Bridges scored to stretch the advantage to 7-1 through three innings.
CMS added a run in the fourth inning when Bridges singled to left and Clarke scored, after Clarke opened the frame with a single to center, giving the Stags an 8-1 lead.
The Stags tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the seventh after allowing two runs in the sixth and a run in the top half of the inning, on a double play off the bat of Motter to score Miller and a double by Gavin to score Clarke pushing the advantage to the final of 10-4.
Hull earned his fourth victory of the season after tossing 7.0 innings, allowing two earned runs (four total runs) with three walks and six strikeouts. Nico Mannucci was brought on in the eighth inning and finished out the final two frames scoreless on one hit.
Game 2
The second end of the twin-bill began with a pitchers duel. Both sides were held scoreless through the first three innings until CMS broke through in the fourth. Gavin kept up his hitting ways with three more hits, including the first hit of the game for the Stags in the second inning, a single to right field.
Josh Cordova (W, 2-1) allowed one hit through the first three innings of work a double by Ingram whom he stranded on base to keep the scoreless outing intact up to that point.
In the bottom of the fourth, Clarke led off with a single to right field and then Gavin promptly drilled his first home run of the season, a two-run shot to left field to give the Stags a 2-0 lead through four innings. It was the sophomore's eighth home run of his career all previous seven coming during his freshman season.
The fifth inning flew by with three-up and three-down for both teams as both pitchers seemed to settle in, but in the sixth Occidental cut the lead in half scoring a run on a ground out by Jack Brancheau which scored Ingram after he led off the inning with a single to center field. Up until that point, Cordova had allowed only two hits. In the sixth, the Tigers touched up Cordova for one run on two hits.
Cordova, though, was able to limit the damage and strand a runner on base with a fly out by Angelo Zorn to end the inning and keep the 2-1 lead intact through the top of the sixth.
CMS answered back with two runs on three hits in the home half of the sixth inning. Castillo drove a two-run single to center field and Gavin scored on a passed ball pushing the lead to 4-1 through six complete.
Reliever Brandon Mitchell threw up a zero in the seventh frame and worked 2.0 innings with three strikeouts and one walk in relief of Cordova and the Stags brought across six runs on four hits in the bottom of the seventh to blow the game open to a 10-1 final.
Clarke went 4-for-10 with two RBI, Motter finished 3-for-10 with one RBI, Bridges went 5-for-8 with three RBI as the Stags finished with 29 hits combined between the two games. Gavin doubled twice in Game 1 and drove in two runs during his three-hit performance and drove in two more runs in Game 2 over another three-hit effort.
Danny Porras finished out the ninth inning with two strikeouts. Cordova held the Tigers to one run over 6.0 innings to earn his second win of the season.
The Stags have won six of their last eight games and are back in action tomorrow as they host MIT at Arce Field at 3 p.m.

To 'package the communication of a packaging material' is exactly what Choco does for the corrugated cardboard industry's umbrella organisation. Objective: to ensure that corrugated cardboard is the first thing to spring to mind amongst all those responsible for packaging in the retail sector. Strategy: to show the product's diversity and use the strong points of corrugated cardboard as a lever. In January 2016 the Belgian and Dutch corrugated cardboard industries joined forces under the heading of Corrugated Benelux Association.
Constant innovation is one of the hardest but equally the most important task of any business. Increasing your turnover or profit, with due regard to sustainability considerations. Whatever the reason, corrugated cardboard incorporates the know-how and provides the product to point companies in the direction of a circular economy. 'Let's rethink your business' is, therefore, the essence of our new campaign, with a logo based on an image of 'The Thinker' by Rodin made of corrugated cardboard. Two testimonials concerning the innovative application of corrugated cardboard complete the campaign: discover how corrugated cardboard innovated the business of Cowboy e-bikes and Stoffels Tomaten.
Reducing the waste mountain and minimising food waste are two hot topics in the circular economy. In fact, these are the two areas in which corrugated cardboard has a key role to play. To create a new online and print campaign we designated corrugated cardboard the 'Champion of the circular economy', in which any advantage also immediately becomes a circular economic benefit. Our champion can be seen at golfkarton.org, in adverts on LinkedIn, in Google search results and professional publications such as Gondola Magazine, Verpakkingsmanagement (Packaging Management), Fokus Verpakkingen (Focus on Packaging) and Primeur. The campaign also included a guest appearance at the Food Waste Congress.
Recent studies have shown that fruit and vegetables packed in corrugated cardboard will keep fresh for up to three days longer. Interesting enough for a new campaign, in which we highlighted this extraordinary property, and which features Mr. Corrugated, a corrugated cardboard figure embracing an apple, to symbolise the protective properties of corrugated cardboard. The image was shown in printed advertising, in specialist magazines, at trade exhibitions and via online bannering campaigns.
The golfkarton.org website was transformed into an interactive platform for all those involved in the retail and packaging sectors. Trends and insights are highlighted and shared, obviously in an attractive format. Choco organised a professional launch via a sponsored LinkedIn and Twitter campaign. Via Google Adwords we ensure that the website can easily be found by interested parties, who can also register for a monthly digital newsletter.
Consistently drawing attention to the main advantages of a product is a basic rule in communication. Corrugated cardboard offers two advantages: the ecological aspect that helps to convince the end user and profitability, which is particularly interesting for the purchasing representative. Our approach? To use the product itself as a means of communication. A product brochure with a corrugated cardboard cover? Check. Print statements on corrugated cardboard? Of course! An exhibition stand furnished with a tree made of cardboard boxes? No problem. A cardboard stool designed as a stack of money? We're on to it. Replace a kangaroo pouch with a corrugated cardboard box? Should be feasible.

How to Avoid Placing System Reserved Partition on Wrong Hard Drive?
Hi guys,
I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium on my HP Envy 17 laptop in order to get rid of bloatware.
The problem is that my laptop has two identical 300GB hard drives, so it is virtually impossible to distinguish them at the drive options window during installation. Another problem is that the installation detects the two drives in a different order than the BIOS does (it switches them).
How can I know that Windows 7 AND the System Reserved partition will be installed to the same drive during installation?
|My System Specs
|07 Jun 2012
Win7 Ultimate X64
the system reserved partition is automatically created by the installer program during win setup so cant be placed on the wromg drive as you dont get a choice where to place it
|My System Specs
|07 Jun 2012
7 x64
Disconnect All Other Drive before you start the Win 7 Installer. that is the Only way to assure the System Reserve partition is created on the same drive as the OS is being installed to.
If there is another drive connected and the drive you want to install Win 7 on is not partitioned and formatted the installer will see the other drive as C (even if it isn't connected to SATA Port Zero) and the installer will place the System Reserve partition on that drive.
|My System Specs
|07 Jun 2012
If you cannot physically unplug the other HD then see if you can disable it in BIOS setup. Otherwise you can partition the drive you don't want involved because the installer will not install System Reserved partition to an already partitioned HD. If you want to skip SysReserved altogether you can partition both drives ahead of install. Partition Wizard Use the Bootable CD
But the fact that you have two 300gb HD's in a laptop makes me wonder if it wasn't originally set up as RAID. If so you'll need to be sure the SATA controlller is set to AHCI in BIOS setup, which you should do anyway before install. A RAID controller may also be popping up at boot if it's not been already disabled.
|My System Specs
|08 Jun 2012
Thanks for the responses, guys. As it turns out, HP makes it rather difficult to unplug a hard drive from this model laptop, and they don't allow me to disable it since they use a crappy home-made BIOS that is notorious for its limited settings (doesn't even allow RAID 0 configuration).
It seems my only option is to partition both drives beforehand since I don't even want the System Recovery partition. I just have a couple questions:
1) Can the partitions I create with the bootable CD before installation be removed after installation without negative effects?
2) Will Windows boot faster if I keep the System Reserved partition (assuming it's on the same drive as the installation)?
|My System Specs
|08 Jun 2012
There is no advantage or disadvantage to having the SysReserved partition.
If you don't want the other HD included, boot PW CD to create a full-disk Logical NTFS partition on it, label it. This will be perfect for storage or data.
If you don't want SysReserved partition, then on the target HD create a Primary NTFS partition of the size you want for Win7, any other partitions as Logical. If you do want SysReserved then leave that HD blank.
OS Boot files cannot be placed on Logical. But watch carefully which partition/HD you select during installation.
You can delete or change any of these afterwards.
|My System Specs

Thanks to your advice, I was able to successfully install Windows 7 without that annoying System Reserved partition. However, there is just one peculiarity that remains: Disk Manager reports my D drive as "System" even though my C drive is the one that contains the Windows 7 installation. Both drives are marked as "Active" and "Primary Partition," and my C drive is marked as "Boot," as it should.
How can it be that my C drive is marked as "Boot," yet my D drive is marked as "System"? How can I change my C drive to be marked as both "Boot" and "System"?
Finally, I should mention that Disk Manager also reports Disk0 as the D drive, and Disk1 as the C drive (on which Windows 7 is installed). I strongly suspect that the installation detected my drives in the wrong order, since the one I use less would obviously be a bit faster. Could this be the reason why D is marked as "System"?
|My System Specs
|18 Jun 2012
Post a screenshot of Disk Management, maximized and columns/panes adjusted to display maximum info.
Sounds like it didn't go quite right based on your descritpion. Did you have the second hard drive (the one you want to use for data only) physically disconnected or disabled in BIOS when you performed the install?
|My System Specs
|18 Jun 2012
I can neither physically remove the second hard drive nor disable it in the BIOS.
In hindsight, I think I did not format my second HDD as "logical" because I did not know how to. I may have mistakenly formatted it as "NTFS," as I did with the primary HDD.
Is there a way to remedy this or am I forced to do another clean install?
|My System Specs
|18 Jun 2012
Easiest and cleanest is to do it over again.
You cannot skip any steps if you expect to achieve success. If you cannot perform a step or are unsure about it you have to stop and get resolution.
Kind of odd about your drives in that HP laptop. I've got two, one newer and one quite old, and both have the option in BIOS to disable the HD. The older one has two drives and the only problem with physically removing one or the other is there are no markings to indicate which is which (although it's specified in the manual).
I've not used Partition Wizard that much, but since logical partitions must be contained within an extended partition, PW may require you to create an extended first before letting you make a logical.

System Reserved partition on wrong drive - how do I move it?
Hi, here's a screenshot of my drive setup: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13583891/Diskmgr.jpg Now, the problem is (apart from me being an idiot!) is that when I installed Win 7 onto Disk 2 (my SSD disk), I didn't disconnect the other two drives from the machine. Therefore the System Reserved...

A professional longarm machine quilter for hire and some of the work I've done.
I lost count of how many quilts left to do. I've had two or three come in and some gone out. The tops just coming in are some I promised to do (many months ago) no matter when the tops got finished. A promise is a promise so they are here waiting. The toppers are people with sudden health issues that created a problem getting tops finished.
This is the current finished top. The one I had to take off the machine for awhile so I could finish the deadline quilt.
I had a little quilter's mental block when it came to deciding what to quilt on it so I was a little relieved to set it aside for awhile. The odd shape of the pieces were the problem. You see the long narrow piece on the right side of the block? I knew I wanted one design on there but that left me with "what do I do with the other?" thoughts. More "stand and stare" and I saw it as a nine patch with narrow strips top and bottom. You see what I mean? So I did a design that would work on a nine patch then added an element to go onto the narrow strips.
Here's a look at the design from the back. Maybe you can see the nine patch a little better. I think it worked out fine.
A view of those from the back.

I picked up a new bike a couple weeks ago (Fuji Team) and tonight when I went to go for a ride it had a flat tire. So I pulled the wheel off took the tire off and found a lil pin hole in the tube from a piece of wire that went through the tire. It was such a microscopic piece of wire that I just patched the tube and put the tire back on. But when I inflated it I got a bubble on the side wall. I thought maybe I squeezed the tube with the patch so I took it back apart and the bubble wasn't near the patch. I double checked everything and put it back together and got the bubble again.
WTF? Think the tire is defective? I never had this problem with my old bike and I had a bunch of flats on that thing!

text: WIPO's Gurry Discusses Iran/North Korea; Denies Whistleblower Retaliation 20/07/2012 by William New, Intellectual Property Watch 4 Comments Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)World Intellectual Property Organization Director General Francis Gurry today said the UN agency has cut off its programme of providing computer equipment to countries in order to eliminate doubts in "certain countries" about the programme as it relates to Iran and North Korea, and said he is moving swiftly to establish an independent review. He also said that he would authorise any WIPO official with competence for the programme to testify about it if asked, and denied any retaliation against whistleblowers. At issue is a longstanding technical assistance programme of providing hardware to about 80 countries with the aim of helping them to access and participate in the international intellectual property system. WIPO maintains that it did not do anything wrong. Its activities will be reviewed by the UN sanctions committees for Iran and North Korea, sources said. Both countries are members of WIPO. Yesterday, WIPO announced it would discontinue sending computers to all countries and would conduct a review (IPW, WIPO, 19 July 2012). "There's a relatively small number of countries who benefit from hardware as opposed to our complete software package," Gurry said. "And since certain member states perceive that there is some ambiguity in the use of standard IT equipment – printers, cartridges, PCs and servers – we think the only complete answer we can give because of their perception of ambiguity is to say, we no longer do that." "We can argue for hours and hours and hours about the legal interpretation, that it's only a few PCs, and so on," he said. "But if there's lingering doubt, let's eliminate it." Gurry is working to identify someone to carry out a review of WIPO technical assistance to UN-sanctioned countries. "We're considering who is best placed to do this," he said, "as far as I'm concerned as soon as possible." Timing will depend on the person or agency that does the review, who he will appoint, he said. "We are taking time to find an appropriately neutral and independent, an unassailable person," he said. US Pressure The US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs sent a strongly worded letter to Gurry this week expressing "grave concern" about WIPO's decision to ship the computers, but also countering assertions by WIPO that it has not engaged in wrongdoing. The letter, signed by the Republican and Democratic committee leaders, accused Gurry of "ongoing attempts to keep these technology transfers a secret within your organization." The 16 July letter from the House committee available here [pdf], also said: "Even more troubling are allegations that your primary focus on this issue has not been full disclosure of all relevant information on these projects in Iran and North Korea, but rather discovering and punishing whistleblowers who initially alerted outside bodies about these transactions." Gurry flatly denied any retaliation against whistleblowers. "I don't know of any action that has been taken against any whistleblower related to DPRK and Iran. None." North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. According to a March letter to the House committee posted here, the person who called attention to the issue was WIPO Staff Council President Moncef Kateb, who wrote on behalf of the Council to the chair of the UN Joint Inspection Unit. Gurry said that despite the 16 July date of the House letter, he just received it after midnight last night, and that he "has had absolutely no contact with them." He did say he feels he has a political obligation to answer them. The House letter seemed to imply they had contact with him. "With regard to your claim to confidentiality in documents provided to us, the information they contain is exactly what WIPO, as a governmental agency, should be providing to all its stakeholders," it said. The House committee is planning to hold a hearing on the issue soon, according to sources. Gurry said that he would allow an appropriate WIPO staffperson to testify if asked. A "properly competent person who was related to these activities in an official and authorised manner, who I am confident knows about the activities in question, will be authorised," he said. He pointed to the WIPO organisational chart published on the website that specifies areas of responsibility for every person. Responsibility for this area, after Gurry himself, might also include a deputy director general, assistant director general or the legal counsel. Given the highly politicised environment in the United States just months before the presidential election, questions may be asked about why a committee controlled by the opposition party to President Obama is jumping on this issue so vigorously. They may also ask whether within WIPO there is a mounting effort to tarnish the image of the director who will face re-election in two years. But for now it is the congressional committee that is asking the questions. "On the face of it," the letter said, "the documentary record, coupled with your public statements, shows a shocking and intolerable lack of judgment, together with an inclination to disregard the legitimate concerns of Member States and to retaliate against your staff who are simply trying to tell the truth." By the Numbers The House committee has suggested that the US suspend its funding for WIPO. But while members of Congress may be accustomed to this working in environments, where, based the size of its economy, the US can throw its financial weight around, at WIPO, the United States only provides a very small portion of the budget. Some 93 percent of WIPO's budget comes from fees for its services (including many US lawyers and businesses). The US government is one of five top government contributors to WIPO (along with France, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom), giving about US$ 1.1 million per year.

This page will contain responses to prompts at The Taverna:
Only by closing my eyes in front of each section of shelves stacked with books, more or less arranged in genres, and reaching out blindly. Thus, I came up with these five. In an hour, or a day, there would be a different five.
- Die To Live – Questions and answers about meditation, existence, life, reincarnation, etc., with humor and wisdom.
- The Source – one of the first books taking one place on earth (a tell in Israel) and relating a fictionalized history of that place and surrounding area since the very beginning. Going through the history of pagans, Jews, Christians, Muslims, the book relates the beginnings of the centuries-old problems still affecting that area, and the world.
- Writing From Life: Telling your Soul's Story – great prompts and writing information to assist you to dig deep into your life and its motivations.
- Soul Collage – Great information and examples on how to do collage to enhance the processing about who you really are and why.
- The Doomsday Book – science fiction where by historians in 2055 go to the 14th century to observe, unfortunately arriving in the midst of an influenza outbreak which complicates their project.

My Write Environment
The place where I like to write is where I am right now. A comfortable computer chair with head and lumbar support combined with a card table situated by a window looking out over my backyard. From this spot I can meditate, read, or write at the table with my purple gel-pen. Frequently I lean back, gaze out the window, watch the birds, butterflies, bugs and bunnies, while clouds of all configurations coast by. I delight in the deciduous and evergreen trees of all hues of green, and revel in whatever flowers are blooming, from the huge wild rose bush with cascading white-flowered canes to the erect purple iris – I observe it all, and mull.
Mulling is the process whereby I throw various ideas and thoughts in, allowing them all to slowly simmer at their own pace as they recombine into new permutations and possibilities. It is my brain's slow-cooking process whereby ingredients swirl around in the stew pot, colliding, passing by, softening and recombining, each adding flavor to the other, to concoct a great stew or soup. And sometimes an unexpected ingredient I forgot I even added enhances the end result.
I sit, surrounded by bookcases of books, art supplies, pictures of my loved ones, even a reproduction of a clay Sumerian tablet from about 2500 BC I purchased on one of many visits to the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia. I often wonder what people might think if they rummage through the collapsed remains of my house in Arkansas years from now and unearthed what would appear to be a Sumerian artifact. One of the unexpected ingredients surrounding me.
The place where I like to write is also the place where I like to meditate, read, mull, watch nature without the exposure to ticks and chiggers, plan gardens, listen to music; in other words, the place where I relax in ways necessary for my life. I realize, though, that I might sometimes need to inject a little more fire and play into my mulling to prevent the tendency to drift off with the clouds.

In the two years and two months since Jared Lee Loughner shot former US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, killing six other people and wounding 13 more in a 30-second burst of 32 rounds from his 9-millimeter pistol, much has been written – and speculated – about the young man now serving multiple life sentences for his admitted massacre.
That violent episode on a sunny street in a supermarket parking lot in Casas Adobes, Ariz., near Tucson, where a crowd of her constituents had come to meet Representative Giffords, also helped spur a new burst of political agitation for strengthening gun control measures.
On Wednesday morning, nearly 3,000 pages of new information about the shooting were released by the Pima County Sheriff's Office. They are sure to color the debate over guns as well how mentally ill persons with a tendency to disruptive behavior if not violence are treated – including whether they should have access to firearms.
The documents include everything from interviews with survivors and victims to police reports filed from the scene of the crime, providing new insight into how the shooting occurred and Mr. Loughner's motives, the Associated Press reports.
Journalists are now poring over the documents, including reporters at the Arizona Republic newspaper who are live-blogging the information as they read through it. One example:
"Jared Loughner's behavior was disturbing and erratic enough that his father began disabling his car at night to keep him at home in the months leading up to the January 2011 shooting at a supermarket near Tucson, according to the investigative documents released Wednesday."
Other reports detail his parents concern as their son became increasingly erratic and non-communicative.
Loughner's mother, Amy, described his run-ins with authorities, his use of marijuana and cocaine, his journals, and his increasingly erratic behavior, the AP reports. She also says the parents took a shotgun away from Loughner after he was kicked out of a community college and tested him for drugs because his behavior was so strange.
Randy Loughner said his son became increasingly difficult, and it was a challenge to have a rational conversation with him. "I tried to talk to him. But you can't, he wouldn't let you," he said "Lost, lost, and just didn't want to communicate with me no more."
The documents released Wednesday also detail the scene immediately after the shooting stopped as bystanders (and some of the victims) wrestled Loughner to the ground while others tended to Giffords and the others who had been shot. These are based on official statements from victims and other public witnesses, Giffords's aides (one of whom had trained as a nurse assistant), law enforcement officials, and other first responders, as well as former friends of the shooter.
The Arizona Republic live-bloggers write that according to the documents, "Jared Loughner went to an old friend's apartment on Christmas Eve in 2010 to show off a gun he had just purchased."
Loughner told his friend and another young man that the weapon was for "home self defense," according to statements the friends gave to investigators.
"When investigators met up with one of the young men at a Tucson Mexican restaurant, they learned that Loughner had tried to phone his old friend the night before the shooting and left a message that his friend had deleted," the newspaper blog states. "The encounter on Christmas Eve at the Tucson apartment had left Loughner's friend shaken, according to the reports."
The crime reports released Wednesday had been withheld for two years under a court order by US District Judge Larry Burns on grounds that they might jeopardize Loughner's right to a fair trial.
Judge Burns lifted his order sealing the documents at the request of The Arizona Republic; KPNX-TV, Phoenix; and other media.
If Loughner's attack had not been stopped by members of the public, he might have been able to do considerably more damage. Among his possessions were two more fully-loaded magazines for his Glock 9-millimeter pistol.
Among these killed were a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl.
Loughner was charged with 49 felony counts, but prosecution was delayed while he was treated for schizophrenia, which the court found made him incompetent to stand trial.
That treatment – which included involuntary medication – led to resumption of legal prosecution, but a trial was averted when Loughner pleaded guilty in an agreement that included life in prison without parole instead of the death penalty.
The agreement was accepted by prosecutors in the case after consultations with Giffords; her husband, retired US Navy captain and astronaut Mark Kelly; US Attorney General Eric Holder; as well as with the families of the other victims.
Giffords and Mr. Kelly – both gun owners and supporters of the Second Amendment – have since formed a new gun control group, Americans for Responsible Solutions.

And the invite for your talk was due to go out today, but due to our web host doing random things without warning us, it'll have to be tomorrow *sigh*
Hopefully Web 1.0 will be working by then!
Why Web 2.0 - Part 2
Next month I'm delighted to say I will be speaking to the Scottish Law Librarians Group about Web 2.0. This will be a re-run of the talk I did earlier this year for the City Legal Information Group with some updated content (its amazing how quickly things move on). This will be the first time I have been back to Edinburgh since the BIALL Conference was held here, conincidentally Edinburgh was the very first BIALL Conference I attended, so lots of memories there.
Before then I will be chairing a session at the BIALL Conference this session called "Who's Really Computer Savvy ? Web2.0 Technologies and Your Library" will look at a number of things including; What Web 2.0 applications are available and how they can be used in Law Firms Libraries and Academic/Special Libraries. I'm naturally excited to be chairing this session and will no doubt ask Stephen a few questions in advance of the session which I will post on the BIALL Blog. All in all an exciting few weeks ahead.

Men in Authority: Higher than I, Hands up (1)(2012)
Hello people!
Happy day to everyone! I'm so glad that you have following me around thus far. Today marks the 13th art story from the Men in Authority series with Hands up (1). This piece is up for sale and a portion of its proceeds will go towards the Cassondra Lenoir Scholarship Foundation. This is a scholarship fund that benefits first generation college students and you will own a piece of art to remind you of the difference you made. For more information, please click here.
Hands up is an appropriate title for this piece, I mean have you ever seen police raise their hands up other than them telling you to do so ( I've never been a victim, but I have rode in the back of a police car) . I haven't. These are some bold, non egoistic police officers who knows there is a higher power than themselves. This was also my first large acrylic painting in several years, but really my first with a piece that I am satisfied with.
I know there has been a lot of political unrest regarding police officers, but there are a lot of good officers out there. I want to represent in this piece, basically men in uniform who are just men, but men of God. There are cops who acknowledge there is a higher authority than them, such as Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers. Being able to portay that in this piece is very important for onlookers. There is a lot of disgruntled feelings about the police especially in urban areas( particularly black and Latino communities). There's a lot of mistrust and we need to see art and organizations that portrays such reality. Because it does exist. Just because you do not see it on television, does not mean it does not exist. Police are human beings, so they are going to need all the help that can get through reaching people and building stronger communities.
Tomorrow, I will go into the 2nd phase of the Men in authority series, burnt etchings on wood entitled Hands up 2.
Enjoy and many blessings!
For the love of God and art
Thru His vessel JB
