When looking for information about carpets to be placed in their children's bedroom, many parents search for information on the internet and learn that:
"Like any other area of the house, the children's bedroom can also be a perfect place to decorate with fantastic antique carpets. Obviously, being carpets of some value, you have to have a more eye on them, beware that children will harm them or damaged them in an irreparable way. Nevertheless, however, ancient, modern and contemporary carpets can also become a sacred space for children to play, relax with a good book or simply rest."
I propose this article that I do not share the thesis and I go straight to listing its weaknesses. Since the carpet of photography, a fantastic antique Ninxia that could be exposed in a museum, is to be risked in the children's room, it is perfectly understood that the person who speaks it has never touched the carpet, does not know the knot, definitely not even the fleece, soft. As far as washing is concerned, he has taken everything from a video posted on Youtube Moranditappeti. On my site you can find thousands of solutions suitable for children's room.
A category of carpets for the children's bedroom could be the choice of Chinese carpets:
"In China there is a long tradition of carpet production and the first, probably commodity exchanges, were made already 2,000 years ago, destined for the Emperor's court. However, the art of knotting carpets came to China only between the 15th and the 17th century. Chinese carpets are perfect for the children's room, especially for hand-knotted symbols and drawings on them: the motifs of the oldest Chinese carpets, in fact, reproduce ancient religious symbols among which the dragon and phoenix stand out, loved by the Children who dream of fantastic animals and places far away and rich in mystery. Symbols on carpets often have a Taoist and Buddhist origin. Chinese antique carpets also often have thin warp yarns, which together with the rough fleece create large knots and a quite thick but soft to the touch carpet, perfect for children".
Speaking of washing the carpet of the bedroom, if it is spotted, bas it often happens when it comes to children, the proper procedure for not ruining it is as follows:
"To remove spot from the antique carpet, special procedures must be followed, which vary depending on the type of spot. The carpet, regardless of the kind of spot, will never be washed in the washing machine, but will be treated by hand. First, it is necessary to proceed with the aspiration of dust hypothetically present on the carpet so that they do not stick on the weft and become difficult to remove later. Subsequently, it goes to true cleaning, beginning with the carpet spread on a clean and smooth surface, like a concrete portico, remove stains with a stain remover and rinsing it with a garden water cane. Subsequently, the entire surface of the carpet is washed with dishes soap, taking care to brush it gently with a floor brush; At the end of the operation, carefully wash with cold water. Once defatted, proceed with cleaning with an hair shampoo (not too much), also taking care to rinse it good, avoiding product residues remaining on the surface (bringing the water out of the weft a with a flat-bottomed jerk used more than one time). Once rinsed, it spreads the carpet on a dry, sunny surface, possibly raised. This way, the carpet will wipe both above and below, thus avoiding stagnation of water that can produce mold, bad smells and rotting fibers, ruining it forever and put in danger the health of children with allergies or lungs diseases".

The fear factor: Slurpees and suspicion
It is a common observation that for what most Turks demonstrate in hospitality, they make up for in paranoia and wide acceptance of conspiracy theories. I have mentioned some of these briefly in the past. The following anecdote, however, is exemplary:
"… the United States is funding the PKK."
The assertion came out of nowhere — entirely tangential — but it was an interesting claim. Certainly not unbelievable, but hard to prove.
"How do you know?" I asked.
I laughed. Finally, a sense of humor.
But he did not laugh. I gradually began to wonder if he meant to say "nine-eleven," and that he would somehow draw a connection between 9/11, international terrorism, and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). That would be interesting.
Instead, he proceeded to explain that the colors of the PKK's current flag are identical to the colors used by the well-known international chain of convenience stores, 7-Eleven.
Apparently, he did not misspeak.
I nodded and waited for a punchline. Or a smile, a wink. Instead, he moved uncomfortably in his seat.
After one too many seconds, I agreed that it was quite a coincidence. Such ugly colors — after all, how many people could possibly want to use them? I expressed that I had no proof to contradict his claim, and the dialogue ended shortly after.
Though this particular encounter is certainly an unfair characterization of the majority of Turks, it is, I think, indicative of a certain culture of suspicion, conspiracy, and fear, especially as relates to Turkey's "friendship" with the "West." In the way of explanation, the fact that the country still plays host to acute paranoia should come as no surprise — the clandestine world of the Cold War was very active in Turkey, and not very long ago.
But this simplistic explanation is not a solution for the problem that this offers to the observer of Turkish politics. With irrational suspicion and fear comes unpredictability, and this aspect of the culture — while it is still alive — should be broadening every political analyst and forecaster's margin of error.
Sometimes, if we wish to be honest with ourselves, our clarifications only reveal more obscurity. Although this encounter might explain quite clearly why there are no 7-Eleven franchises, licensees, or affiliates in Turkey.

So. We've had a run of greywindyrainycool weather lately, and all the dreariness has taken up residence in my head. The result? Partly worried with a chance of panic. I'm worried about how already 5-years-retired DH will adjust to me being in the house more often. A lot more often. He has a sort of schedule he follows—will I fit in there? Will I be in the way? Will he be resentful if errands don't get run, email doesn't get answered, finances don't get managed because I got a wild hair and decided we should go buy a new tree or something? Will I be resentful if he needs to get his email answered when I want him to come out and play with me?
Will I lose track of my school and library friends? What will I talk about at parties with them? We always commiserate about stuff going on at our respective schools. OMG! I'm going to be like our spouses who feel excluded from the conversations! Ack!!!! Should have been more understanding of THAT—hindsight!
And what about money? A pension is not the same money you make being a 26-year employee with a master's degree in a large school district. We don't have a ton of bills hanging over our heads, but less is still less. And, Mr. 15 is on the verge of a driver's license, and moving ever closer to college.
OK. So I feel a bit better just writing this all down—after all, it's only a few paragraphs—not nearly so insurmountable as it had been when it was just lurking around in my head. I'm feeling the need to balance out the panic with some reality. On to the stuff I'm NOT worried about.
It'll be OK. Lots of people retire and live to tell about it. Many of them even enjoy retirement! I know I'll be busy; I've joined the Band Parent's Board of Mr. 15's high school, the greenhouse wants me to work more hours, we have a lot of landscaping to repair now that the addition is complete. I have a ton of the usual "oh, I'll clean out the storage shed when I'm retired" stuff. We want to travel and visit friends and new places. I've promised to go play in friends' libraries and bring them mochas.
I will have the freedom to not be TOO busy. I'm definitely not going to be too busy to have that second cup of coffee and listen to the birds welcome the morning.

As I mentioned yesterday, two cheesecakes made, two recipes posted :)
Once again it turned out that we eat with our eyes first. I think I wouldn't have decided to make this cake but for some amazing pictures I came across one day :) Only later did it turn out that the taste is as amazing as the pictures! But all in all, pictures were first, weren't they? :)
And where did I find these pictures? Oh, I found them on Małgosia's blog called Smaki Alzacji. I need to admit that some other recipes had already caught my eye… so in the nearest future I hope to check them out too :)
And well, I wouldn't be myself if I didn't make something with Drunk Prune in the title of the recipe :) I just love this combination. whether we're talking about cakes, ice-cream, desserts or any anything :)
Here I wouldn't say that prunes dominate the taste of the cheesecake but they can be really felt both in the taste as well as in the consistency :)
Rum not so much… What a pity, right? ;P
Anyway, higly recommended for Drunk Prunes fans!
And one more thing, I changed the proportions a bit as well as the temperature of baking… But it's more connected with my own preferences of baking. That's all :)
To the kitchen! :)

I first started getting interested in things like, Graphic Novels, Science Fiction books and movies, as well as basically anything horror or thriller movie or novel related!
With that in mind, I first came to discover Graphic novels in movie form back in the early 90s when I first came to discover, Brandon Lee (Rapid Fire) in, The Crow (1994), a movie which was directed by Alex Proyas (The Unpleasant Profession Of Jonathan Hoag).
And speaking of Alex Proyas, another great classic that he did is, Dark City (1998)…
Written by: Alex Proyas, Lem Dobbs (Haywire) and David S. Goyer (Blade) and Directed by: Alex Proyas. Starring: Rufus Sewell (The Illusionist), Keifer Sutherland (Freeway), William Hurt (Lost In Space), Jennifer Connelly (Labyrinth), Richard O'Brien (Flash Gordon) and Ian Richardson (The Fifth Province).
Dark City is a Hugo award winning movie that Roger Ebert had called, 'The best movie of 1998' and, with whom had actually recorded a special commentary track for Dark City.
Dark City tells the story of a world where day light never shows. this is a world of extremes, in which there are both the lower class and then the extreme upper class of people!
Now besides the fact that there never seems to be any day light, there seems to be other weird things going on in this town… Including the fact that when asked how to get to, 'Shell Beach' no one ever seems to remember exactly how to get there, and the fact that everyone despite where they are and what they're doing go to sleep at midnight!
The reason for this is the fact that an heavily advanced and dying Alien race that has the power to change things around them (which they call 'cunning') has decided to abduct a large group of humans from Earth, and place them on a sort of space station that has been created to look like a human city, from the collective memories of the humans that they kidnapped, in an effort to try and discover what, 'the human spirit is'
Now these Aliens (that use dead humans as their vessels), think they can discover the human spirit through the memories of the humans they are holding capitive and use a human by the name of Dr. Daniel P. Schreber (Sutherland). Who when the city is forced to go to sleep, switches in & out the lives of the humans in the city by changing their memories!
That is until one night when while Dr. Schreber is trying to implant the memories of John Murdoch in to it's latest host (Sewell).
Now the new 'John Murdoch' is actually a bump up the evolutionary curve because not only does he wake up and freak out Dr. Schreber, but he also has the same powers as the Aliens, and may actually be the only hope for humanity trapped on this base!
I thought that I would mention and can totally see is how The Twilight Zone influenced Mr. Proyas when making this movie.
The last thing that I thought that I would mention is that Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight), when writing Inception (2010), was influenced by, 'that era of movies where you had The Matrix, you had Dark City, you had The Thirteenth Floor and, to a certain extent, you had Memento, too. They were based in the principles that the world around you might not be real'.
So if your look for a fun, dark, and edgy Science Fiction movie to enjoy, then I recommend this one, it is a fun one!

Freedom, like health, comes in degrees.
Identifying allergies can help improve health—it can empower you to flourish and to protect your loved-ones. You can similarly improve freedom by identifying vulnerabilities to manipulation. Different people have different vulnerabilities to isolation, distraction, discomfort, temptation, and depression/despair, for example. Good management, counseling, marriage, and parenting all improve freedom by empowering people to discover such aspects of themselves. Self-awareness is the cornerstone of self-help and healthy relationships.
Take the GRIN Self-Quiz (GRINSQ) to discover more about your own nature, and share it with your loved-ones to increase your sensitivity to theirs. The GRINSQ is based on the four main branches of evaluative diversity:
Natural Gadfly: Aimed at discovery – guided by creativity
Naturally Relational: Aimed at love – guided by empathy
Naturally Institutional: Aimed at purity – guided by best practices
Natural Negotiator: Aimed at results – guided by research
People typically have difficulty recognizing constraints on their freedom because they try to follow role-models who have a different nature. You need to be yourself, so you need to discover who you are. The fight for real freedom, for GRIN-freedom, can be won only by each person for him or herself.
If you would like to help others win their fight, please Join the Movement or help advance our understanding of Diversity Management.

Everybody's Scalin' For the Weekend – Where the Rubber Meets the (Off) Road
"What tire is the best for my truck?"
That is the first question most newbie scalers ask upon picking up their new ready-to-run (RTR) truck. Like all r/cs, tires are probably the most important performance choice you can make on a scale rig. Most RTR trucks come with tires that are made of a hard compound that easily slip off obstacles, and I've never seen any that come weighted. When you compare this to a soft and sticky aftermarket tire that has weight in the front wheels to lower your center of gravity, the difference is night and day.
While I can't give one definitive answer as to which is best, I can give you four very solid choices. It just so happens that these four types of tires are available in both 1.9 and 2.2 versions, so size of your rig shouldn't limit availability. Go with an Axial Maxxis Trepador (R35 compound), Pro-Line TSL Super Swamper, Pit Bull Rock Beast, or RC4WD Baja Claw (X2-SS Compound) and you should be ready to rock (pun intended). I've used all four of these extensively over the last year and I'd recommend any of them without hesitation.
So my advice to you, new truck owner, is ditch the stockers, pick out a set of the aforementioned tires that you think look the coolest, add 2-3 ounces of lead weight to your front wheels and then go tear up the trail. Be warned though, as you can quickly develop a dangerous case of scale tire addiction, a disease with nasty side effects like a depleted bank account, bead-lock induced potty mouth and a work bench that resembles the Simpsons' Springfield Tire Fire. I'm currently sporting a dually setup with 6 of the new XL Super Swampers (see pic below), but I routinely change my body/tire combo for what I feel like running on any given day.
Before we go, it's shameless plug time; if you are around the St. Louis, MO area, consider this your formal invitation to attend our club's 2nd Annual Turkey Trail Run, taking place this Sunday (Nov 24) at West Tyson Park in Eureka, MO. We are meeting around 10:30am and will be running around four miles of the treacherous Chubb Trail. If you've ever wanted to go scaling with 30-40 other like-minded lunatics, here is your chance!

I liked this quiz that I found on Facebook and would love to see other answers to it. I'm not into tagging people, but if you decide to post your answers, please leave me a comment so that I can read them!
1. What was the last book you bought?
I pick up most of my books for free these days, but I think that the last book I bought was Artist Journals and Sketchbooks by Lynne Perella, used at Ed McKay's, which I have thoroughly enjoyed EXCEPT for the fact that the previous owner was a smoker so I can only take a little at a time. If I'd noticed I would have put it back on the shelf and waited for a clean copy. But I got excited and grabbed it.
2. Name a book you have read MORE than once.
1. The Bible (With my parents, I was very close to being a preacher's kid)
2. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (When I was a child I finished the last page and flipped back to the beginning to start it again, but I'm not obsessive. Oh no.)
3. Catch 22 (I didn't quite get it in Governor's School and appreciated it much more as an adult)
4. The Sound and the Fury (see number #3)
5. Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh
6. Fair and Tender Ladies by Lee Smith
3. Has a book ever fundamentally changed the way you see life?
I think that Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was the first book that woke me out of my lethargy and convinced me that whatever I did was worth doing well. (I'm not sure that I believe that about EVERYthing I do now, but I still appreciate the philosophy.) Another was Voluntary Simplicity by Duane Elgin, which introduced me to the simple living movement and guided me to change my priorities in life. Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hahn taught me about mindfulness. And Michael Pollan's Botany of Desire changed the way I look at the relationships of plants and humans.
4. How do you choose a book? e.g. by cover design and summary, recommendations or reviews?
I have a love affair with Amazon. I wish that I didn't! I look at the reviews and flip through the online page samples. I follow up on recommendations obsessively, if it is a recommender that I respect and admire. I buy too many books and that's why I drive a 92 Tercel.
5. Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?
I read a lot of art and craft books these days, but I prefer to go to bed with a novel or book of short stories.
6. What's more important in a novel – beautiful writing or a gripping plot?
I love Annie Dillard and Anne Lamott and Wendell Berry because even when the plot is thin, I eat up their words like candy. But I do like a good plot too.
7. Most loved/memorable character (character/book).
Gus McRae from Lonesome Dove. Bilbo Baggins from the Hobbit. Burley Coulter from the Port William Membership stories and novels by Wendell Berry.
8. Which book or books can be found on your nightstand/coffee table at the moment?
*Bedside table: The Meaning of Night by Michael Cox. A pseudo-Victorian murder story.
*Coffee Table: Andy Goldsworthy and Time by Andy Goldsworthy. My favorite artist.
8. What was the last book you read, and when was it?
Andy Catlett: Early Travels by Wendell Berry. Finished it Tuesday night.
9. Have you ever given up on a book halfway in?
Yes. The last one was The Lady in the Palazzo by Marlena di Blasi. Quite frankly, I think that her photo put me off, because I enjoyed the first two books. Suddenly the whole story seemed overblown and pretentious when I looked at her lipstick.
10. Can you recommend a good book to me? If so, what is it?
Nonfiction: The Botany of Desire and The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan are both entertaining and non-preachy books on food. In the same food vein, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. For writers or dreamers of being a writer: Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. Fiction: Jayber Crow and The Memory of Old Jack by Wendell Berry. In between: anything by David Sedaris. Howlingly funny, and not for sensitive sorts or homophobes.
11. Is there a book you haven't read, and should have?
I'm determined to read Moby Dick soon, after reading Ahab's Wife this summer. Also, I picked up a hard copy of War and Peace for free, and one day I'll tackle it. I got behind on my contemporary fiction reading when I was in grad school, and have a lot of catching up to do there.

This is part 2 of a 3 part series of interviews with Frank Schettini the executive sponsor of the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner program. In this interview we talk about what to expect from training for the ACP and how trainers (including myself) can offer training when no one has taken the test yet.
Joseph: I am curious, you look at the PMI certification the PMP and there are organizations out there giving PMP exam Preps basically you spend anywhere from 2 to 5 days in a PMI PMP bootcamp and they will spoon feed you all the questions from the test (well not really all the actual questions) but really focused on "teaching to the test", and no one has taken this test yet, for the Agile Certified Practitioner, so what are you seeing out there for training and what can people expect when they are taking a training course.
Frank: Thanks Joseph, That's a really good question. It goes back to when we went through the process of creating an agile certification and going back to the Agile Manifesto and some of the key domains and knowledge areas within agile to focus these exam questions on. What we have done in creating the certification was to require experience [on the job agile experience] as well as a training component which is 21 hours…

Lackland investigates airmen's casket photo
SAN ANTONIO - Officials at Lackland AFB said Wednesday they are investigating an incident in which 15 airmen posed for a photo next to a metal transfer case, the kind used to carry dead U.S. servicemen home from the war zone.
A bespectacled airman is inside the open case, eyes open and staring blankly in the distance. His head is tilted to the side, a white noose and black chain around his neck.
"Da Dumpt, Da Dumpt" the photo caption states. "Sucks 2 Be U!"
The airmen - part of an air transportation training unit at Fort Lee, Va., under the 37th Training Group at Lackland - are in camouflage uniforms. Most of the airmen outside the case are standing, unsmiling, their arms crossed.
Photo goes viral
The photo at the Fort Lee Air Transport Apprentice School was taken Aug. 23 and posted in October on Facebook. It went viral this week, prompting startled Air Force officials to launch a noncriminal investigation.
The Air Education and Training Command at Randolph AFB ordered the probe Monday, and sent a lieutenant colonel assigned to Lackland's training group to Fort Lee the next day.
"Such behavior is not consistent with our core values, and it is not representative of the airmen I know," Air Force Secretary Mike Donley said. "It saddens me that this may cause additional grief to the families of our fallen warriors."
The Air Force has been at the center of a storm over the handling of troops' remains at Dover AFB, Del., mortuary, with body parts lost and cremated remains dumped in a landfill.
Since the war on terror began 10 years ago, the United States has lost 6,340 troops, roughly two-thirds of them in Iraq. They're typically brought out of the war zone in silver transfer cases and delivered to Dover.
'Port Dawgs'
The photo, which shows NCOs and lower-ranking airmen, includes a logo, "All American Port Dawgs." A spokesman with Lackland's 37th Training Group, Jerry Proctor, said the logo comes from a coin designed for an aerial port squadron unit created in the 1990s.
The students were part of a 29-day aerial porter training program given by the 345th Training Squadron at Fort Lee. Specialists there learn to manage freight and also become familiar with transfer cases, AETC spokesman Dave Smith said.
They are not trained to perform the solemn transfer ceremony during the course, but will learn it later, Proctor said.
"The transfer cases are there at the school only because that is just for familiarity, what these things are, what they look like," he said.
In the photo, the airmen's arms are crossed across their chests in an "X," which Smith said is the signal for stop used on typically noisy flight lines.
Proctor said he also had no idea what message the airmen were trying to convey.
"I can only look and say that there are some things wrong in that photo and they do not reflect our values."

Schmooru needs 00:15 to 02:00 long attention-getting displays of video art, animation, film, or animated gif for a new public experiment designed to attract new audiences to our creative community's work.
If we attract attention to Schmooru — and to your work — using these animations, films (or even animated gifs!), it will spill love and attention through our entire community. The stronger we are as a community, the higher the rates we get for advertising. That means that we can develop and produce more shows. This is also a way to find out what content both attracts attention and is actually enjoyable to make.
We currently promote our communities work through internet advertising. As a result, we've been showing full original episodes around the internet to the jaw-dropping tune of 30 million views a month. We're now hoping to complement this in a large-scale real-world experiment.
Short-form content from our community is now slated to be shown on 3,000+ physical screens at high density locations like airports, hotel lobbies, coffee shops and public spaces. Additionally, all videos shown on these screens will go online on a new gallery show page on schmooru.com.
We are offering promotion & distribution of your most creative 00:15 to 02:00 minute SUBMISSIONS, on a non-exclusive basis to millions of eyeballs everywhere. If we find some concepts that work to drive traffic, we will then implement phase two: Acquiring these videos — AS WELL AS NEW ONES — for cold hard cash.
A still image where one part or a few parts are moving. These are a great, simple way to attract attention to a particular part of a scene.
Check this site out for examples:
As above, designed for mass appeal and attention getting. Perhaps something with a self-contained story line, no sound, and a payoff at the end. Surprise us.
Check out this site for some inspiration:
The sky's the limit so get creative, but remember that these are designed for mass appeal and there will not be reliable sound for these displays. What would hold your attention?
Check out this site for some inspiration:
Or check out current submissions:
0:15–0:30 seconds recommended.
2:00 minutes maximum.
Please submit work in the following formats: 640x480 or greater resolution
.mp4, .mov, or gif.
We'll be implementing rolling deadlines — once per month. Send us what you have, when you have it. We'll post what we get to schmooru.com, and send out a list of new entries (and a reminder) each month to the Schmooru list serve!
What would make you stop and notice a screen in an airport?
Remember, these should feel more like the MoMA rather than the Super Bowl best ads line-up.
Did I have fun making this?
We really want our community to have fun with this. Take some risks! Try out that idea you always thought was too oddball.
Do I already have something like this on my shelf that has no other home?
Yes, it would be cool if we all went out and did this fresh, but that's not strictly necessary. Look at your footage from past projects, or discarded animations. There might be a gem in there.
Are the rights cleared?
If you don't we can still put them up — but if your submission becomes popular, that's when the lawyers come. No one likes to have to pull things down.
Would I be cool with my little sister watching this?
Keep it above the belt, and keep it classy.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Florida is turning down billions in federal funding for high-speed rail, Gov. Rick Scott said Wednesday.
Speaking in Tallahassee, Scott said he had called U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and told him, "I'm not comfortable this is a project we should be doing," The Miami Herald reported.
The governor said the planned Tampa-Lakeland-Orlando link might not yield taxpayers a return on their investment and the funds would be better spent on highways and ports.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said Scott's decision is "turning down 24,000 jobs, when we badly need them."
Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, called the move "a huge setback for the state of Florida."
Scott is the third new Republican governor to spurn the rail funding, following counterparts in Ohio and Wisconsin. Florida's share would have been $2.4 billion.
The governor said cost overruns could cost Florida taxpayers an extra $3 billion, ridership and revenue projections were questionable, and if the project were canceled, the state would have to return the money.
Tea Party members, who backed Scott's campaign, had lobbied him to reject the funds.

Villa guests are accorded a privileged insight into the agricultural, religious and daily life of the friendly villagers. The nearest surf beaches, including Echo Beach, are about eight kilometres from the villa and the many new and exciting eateries of popular Canggu just 11 kilometres away.

text: Never give up. Although I didn't live up to this motto at first, we were fortunate Sawyer did. On the last Saturday of the GA turkey season, we gave it one more effort before time to hang up the calls. We arrived to a new listening spot on a piece of property where some birds have been eluding us. Thanks to Sawyer's ears, he heard a distance gobble after my series of Owl Hoots. We went towards a large field and set out our decoys. The bird kept responding but no real movement. We figured it was now 2-minute drill. Nothing to lose. So we advanced on him. 2 set ups around various place in the large field did not stir his interest. Finally Sawyer hit his Woodhaven Crow Call and the bird gave up his new location. We attacked again. When we got to a lower food plot, we discovered the grass was knee deep and wet. I knew there was no way we would get that bird out in that mess. We decided it was now or never so we pushed into the swamp. It was a low ceiling with no more than 30 yards of visibility. But when I hit the Scott Ellis Signature Series......the dude was right on top of us. We quickly set up on 2 trees about 10 yards apart and faced opposite directions to eliminate getting back doored. We gave him lots of silent treatment since we were close and he gobbled about every 2 - 3 minutes to looks for us. I scratched the leaves and softly clucked and that un-nerved him. But still he wouldn't budge. Finally Sawyer broke out the Carbon Crystal and softly purred. Next noise we heard were wing flaps as the bird flew a creek we didn't know was there due to the leaves. He weaved he way toward me but then turned back toward Saw. Once he finally cleared some vines and brush, Sawyer let the 20 ga w/ #7 Heavy shot sing! Celebration time! Our first May Ga Bird. Determination, Aggressive tactics and a little luck helped us bring home a much to be remembered trophy!

Miguel Doesn't Regret Frank Ocean Grammys Diss
Frank got no love from his fellow nominees as he took home a Grammy on Feb. 10, 2013. As the entire Staples Center stood to clap for the winner, Miguel stayed in his seat. Talk about rude!
Miguel was kind of a sore loser at the 55th annual Grammy Awards. After Frank Ocean won Best Urban Contemporary Album, Miguel was not very happy. Along with fellow loser, Chris Brown, Miguel remained seated and refused to cheer in honor of the winner. Even better, Miguel doesn't regret a thing about his disrespectful behavior. According to him, he was the rightful recipient of the award!
Miguel Refuses to Applaud Frank Ocean At The Grammys
Miguel told TMZ on Mar. 13, "I'm competitive, but congratulations to Frank though." When asked if he could go back in time and give the singer a standing ovation, he replied that he still wouldn't. Ouch.
The singer wasn't at a total loss, though. Miguel won a Grammy for best R&B song for his track, "Adorn."
Miguel's Success In 2013
While he may be a poor audience member, Miguel has achieved some incredible success over the past year. He released his sophomore album, Kaleidoscope Dream, in September 2012, which debuted at number three! The album also made it onto New York magazine's Top 10 album list of 2012.
The "Adorn" singer is also scheduled to perform on SNL for the first time. The NBC Show's twitter announced, "Excited to say #VinceVaughn is returning to host #SNL with first-time musical guest, @MiguelUnlimited on April 13th!!" Expectations appear to be high after his Grammy win! He's also currently touring with Alicia Keys.
Even though he was beat out by Frank, Miguel has plenty of wins to celebrate. What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Should Miguel have given Frank a standing ovation?

This week marks 28 years since British Journalists discovered the concentration camps in Prijedor which led to the closure of the concentration camp Omarska where over 6,000 people were imprisoned and over 700 were murdered.
Today, we remember them.
On today's date in 1992, over 124 Bosniak Muslims were massacred at Hrastova Glavica near Sanski Most. The people, who were massacred and then thrown in a mass grave which would be discovered in 1998, were detainees of the Omarska and Keraterm concentrated camps.
We remember.

White out Every photo I take seems to white out, as if it is letting in to much light. But it is more than this, as it is possible to see white streaking on the image as well. I have also tried taking photos in various manual settings, resulting in the same problem. It seems to be a little better in doors. However when I use video mode the image is normal.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of diet plans in the market which promise speedy weight loss. Out of all these strategies only a few are effective and the rest are all but diet fads that offer short term results. The only scientifically proven way to lose weight and keep it off for good is to include whole foods in your daily meals. There are no shortcuts. Straight up healthy eating is key to effective weight loss.
What are whole foods?
Whole foods are basically unprocessed foods that can be consumed as is. These dietary food items have not undergone any type of refinement methods and processes. Fruits and vegetables are perfect examples of whole foods. They can be eaten raw and without having the need to alter or modify them in any way. A unique feature of whole foods is that they can be eaten fresh. Tomatoes, strawberries, and vegetables can be plucked from the garden and eaten right away.
One benefit of eating whole foods is the fact that they are not stripped off of nutrients. Those that are grown using organic methods are safe and contain a handful of health benefits; that which cannot be found in produce that were grown with the aid of artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
Whole grains are a good example of whole foods that should be a part of everyone's meal plan. Aside from being healthy, they are also proven to facilitate fast and permanent weight loss. Obviously whole grains are natural products that include the entire grain kernel. The skin, bran, germ, and endosperm are not removed with the use of refinement. These components are left intact as they are proven to contain more nutrients than those found in processed grains. During the refinement process, the bran and germ layers are removed to improve the shelf life of grains.
Although this is deemed a benefit, the process of grain refinement strips off nutrients that aid in weight loss such as dietary fibers and vitamins and minerals. Although most refined grains are enriched with vitamins and minerals, the fiber content remains low as this component is difficult to replicate and manufacture.
What makes whole grains healthy?
Due to their raw and pure nature, whole grains are filled with nutrients and dietary fibers. Whole grains are perfect examples of low-energy density foods. They contain minimal calories but are highly-dense with nutrients as well.
Low-energy density food consumption provides that feeling of fullness or satiety, thus making it less likely for you to crave and go hungry for a long while. You feel fuller on fewer calories when you regularly consume whole grains. This perfectly coincides with the weight loss rule of low calorie intake in order for the body to utilize the stored fat as energy source.
You may be wondering what components of whole grains make it a low-energy density food item. Here are top three elements which make It possible for individuals to lose weight by consuming whole grains:
Water provides that added weight and volume to whole grains. And since water does not contain any calories, consuming large amounts of whole grains will not result in weight gain.
Fibers comprise most of the bulk in whole grain products. It takes up a lot of the volume in whole grains. Eat high-fiber food items also facilitate slow digestion, which in turn will make you feel fuller despite minimal calorie consumption.
These two components are what makes whole grains the secret recipe for weight loss.
Other benefits of whole grains
Aside from the weight loss properties found in whole grains, there are a myriad of health benefits that people can derive from regular consumption:
- No cholesterol
Whole grain products like oatmeal and whole grain cereals have zero-cholesterol levels. This means that you can consume as much whole grains that you want without having t o be scared of excess calories. Moreover, they do not contain saturated fat and trans-fatty acids, thus making the a better choice over refined grains such as those found in breads, cakes, and pastries. You will be able to maintain a healthy cholesterol level in the bloodstream, thus ensuring good health.
- Unsaturated Fatty Acids
There are whole grains which contains a host of essential fatty acids. Unlike processed grains, whole grains feature healthy doses of essential fatty acids like Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9. These essential fatty acids do not contribute to increased cholesterol levels. Quite the contrary, they even increase good cholesterol levels while decreasing bad cholesterol levels.
- Packed with vitamins and minerals
Although food manufacturers add in nutrients after the refinement process, the concentrations are not enough to induce health benefits. With whole grains, you consume more than the ideal levels of vitamins and minerals that are essential in many of the human body's critical functions. Most whole grains are rich in magnesium, calcium, iron, selenium, phosphorus, and zinc. Due to its organic nature, whole foods are also high in phytochemicals which aid the body in fighting diseases and improving general well being too.
Examples of Whole Grain Products
- Oats
- Whole grain cereals
- Brown rice
- Barley
- Bulgur
- Farro
- Millet
- Quinoa
- Wheat berries
Another great benefit of using whole grains for weight loss is that they are inexpensive. You can buy a bag of wheat for a few dollars. You are also given the chance to add your preferred flavor to your whole grain meals. Be sure to add other whole foods such as organic vegetables and fruits and to reduce sugar use as well for optimum weight loss results.

The Pentagon's blue-sky researchers are gambling that you can build a swimming tank for the Marines in a fraction of the time it takes the military's lumbering acquisitions process. All you need are the relevant data and a set of web-based collaborative tools. And its gamble will pay you a million dollars if you're part of the winning design team.
Welcome to the FANG Challenge, the latest of Darpa's various design challenges that leverage the distributed intelligence of the crowd. (They don't want to call it "crowdsourcing," but more on that in a second.) FANG stands for Fast, Adaptable, Next-Generation Ground Vehicle. In this case, Darpa wants to build an amphibious infantry vehicle to the specifications of the Marine Corps' Amphibious Combat Vehicle, designed to carry Marines from ship to shore under fire. Only Darpa thinks you can design something that's more innovative than a traditional military vehicle, in less time, and without the support of mega-defense corporations. To do so, you'll have to break from the process through which those vehicles get engineered.
Typically, explains Army Lt. Col. Nathan Wiedenman, a Darpa program manager and armor officer, the component systems of military vehicles are engineered individually: The propulsion people work on the propulsion system, the data people work on data management, and so forth. But when you put them all together, you don't get what you expected, "because all those components and sub-systems interact in ways we couldn't anticipate," Wiedenman told reporters on Tuesday. "Nothing is just a data-management system or a power or thermal system. All the components of a complex system like this have mechanical, power, data, thermal, and electromagnetic behaviors that affect other sub-components around them." The result is a stop-start process that takes forever and costs a fortune.
The gamble behind the FANG Challenge is that once a design team has the data spelling out the requirements of each of the systems for a military vehicle, that team ought to be able to design the individual parts of component systems while taking note of how the other parts have to knit together. Darpa doesn't expect you to do the whole thing at once: First it wants you to build the mobility system; and later, it'll ask you to design the chassis.
But to be able to see how the component systems of the vehicle will need to interact, Darpa has created an online library of data – called the Component, Context, and Manufacturing Model Library, or C2M2L, pronounced "Camel" – and a virtual foundry called VehicleFORGE.
Inside VehicleFORGE, people who form into design teams can inspect the data requirements for each component of the swimming tank (or, really, whatever you design); use imaging software to design each of the systems; and see immediately how any one part of the vehicle impacts every other one, so you can adjust your specs accordingly. As shown in the image above, the interface looks a bit like online gaming.
"You open the aperture for innovation," Wiedenman contends, beyond the same handful of defense giants that the Pentagon relies on for its expensive truck, plane and ship programs.
To be clear, the FANG Challenge doesn't hold the Marines' amphibious vehicle program hostage to the design whims of random people. It's an experiment in outperforming the military acquisition system. "We have a close working relationship with the Marines, but they are not counting on FANG for the success of their program," Wiedenman said. "We will run in parallel, and if we are successful, the [amphibious vehicle] program will be the first beneficiary.
Again, Darpa isn't actually expecting to build every part of this infantry vehicle all at once. The FANG Challenge is broken up into three phases. The first phase, opened to would-be competitors for registration on Monday, seeks to build the drivetrain and mobility systems. Darpa will open C2M2L and VehicleFORGE to participants in January, and teams will have until April to work. The winning design, judged according to the Marine Corps' criteria for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle, will get a million dollars. You can start to assemble your crew using the hashtag #DARPAFANG.
The next phase, slated for late 2013, will be to design the hull, informed by the work in phase 1. That's another $1 million. And in 2014, the winning design for the full vehicle will get $2 million. Darpa gets a design it expects it couldn't anticipate – Wiedenman thinks "populating the design tradespace" will yield wacky new structures – and, the gamble goes, the Marines might get a new swimming vehicle long before the traditional Pentagon acquisitions process. That process, it's worth noting, led its previous future swimming tank, the Expeditionary Combat Vehicle, to flameout after $13 billion and nearly 20 years of development.
Darpa's crowdsourced vehicle designs before. The 2010 Experimental Crowd-derived Combat-Support Vehicle (XC2V) Design Challenge created a combat vehicle that could be used for medevac. Wiedenman thinks the FANG Challenge isn't exactly crowdsourcing, though.
"We do not consider Adaptive Vehicle Make and the FANG Challenges to be crowdsourcing in the traditional use of the term," he says. "Crowdsourcing requires that you attack the right problems. And it's really valuable at attacking the kinds of problems that require someone to have an innate inborn skill," such as Darpa's protein-folding challenges. This is focused on "someone who really has the technical skills and training to be an engineer for complex cyber-physical systems, but who doesn't have a way of access or providing any input... We're looking at a more focused selection of people that we want to reach out to, non-traditional design entities."
Whatever you call it, it could yield a new amphibious vehicle – and make you money.

This week's Face Off had the American gangster as its episode title and theme. In episode two of the reality television makeup competition, the remaining hopefuls got their first chance to work in teams. Each contestant was placed with another member after being brought to New York Street at Universal Studios. This location was where Dick Tracy and The Sting were both filmed as well as many other gangster themed productions.
McKenzie Westmore waited for the contestants by a random selection of props, which all represented a real-life gangster and his "nickname." She explained the relevance of the location along with the reasons for the choice of props. Referencing Dick Tracy and Frank Miller's Sin City, she explained how these nicknames for gangsters were instrumental in designing the makeup for the OTT criminals in both films.
After being put into pairs, each Face Off duo picked what prop they wanted to work from. McKenzie then introduced this week's special guest, and guest judge, Doug Drexler. On a sidenote: Doug, who is an award winning legend in the film business, will be at the Star Trek Convention at Las Vegas this week. Once the introductions were finished, Ms. Westmore informed the new teams that she and her father Michael Westmore, another film business legend, would be back later to see how they were getting on.
On one more sidenote: Michael Westmore will also be at the Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas as an honored guest.
The contestants were all excited about the opportunity for Drexler to see their end results. They were, however, even more excited by their first "one on one" with Michael Westmore. While Mr. Westmore questioned each team, the duo of Sasha and Barry immediately stood out as the team who were going to have problems.
The main problem with team Sasha and Barry is that he got caught up in a rat motif that had nothing to do with the prop that they picked. In this week's Face Off the American gangster theme caused Barry to get on a James Cagney loop and even after the Mr. Westmore interview, only reluctantly added Sasha's clock accessory. By adding the piece to the character they created the extra "bit" would reference the nickname and the prop chosen.
Rachel, who was paired with Vince, got worried that they are spending too much time on the minutiae and not casting anything. Dina and Jason had problems getting their mold out, but disaster was just diverted when it did not break, as feared, and only cracked badly.
Team Keaghlan and Damien were very matter-of-factly getting their creation done with no "theatrics" or serious issues. Keaghlan did not even have an "Oh dear," moment this week. One nice part in the show was when Rachel and Vince had issues getting their mould sorted all the other contestants jumped in to help the pair out.
The clear favorite this week was the team of Cig and George. These two had an infectious enthusiasm that was fun to watch and seeing George try out his teammates fat suit, was amusing as he showed just how excited he was to be doing this challenge. Having said that, Keaghlan, Damien, Gwen and Drew were all "safe" in this spotlight competition and did not have to go through the judge's questioning.
Face Off with its American gangster theme ended with some very impressive creations from the teams. The winner was Cig with his body suit which made his and George's character based on Tony "Big Tuna" Accardo look practically perfect. All the judges loved the creation and the winning combination of the fat suit and the makeup made it the clear favorite. Sadly, Barry's obsession with a "dirty rat" cost him dearly and he was voted off this week. Next week's competition deals with an alien theme and should continue to entertain fans of movie "special FX" makeup and prosthetics.

text: Palestinians mourn during the funeral of al-Harazeen, during his funeral in Gaza City [AFP] An Israeli military spokeswoman said he was targeted for "supervising commandos responsible for firing rockets at southern Israel". A statement from the Al-Quds Brigades said: "The assassination of the general commander will open the door wide to a wave of martyrdom operations." Huge explosion His car was reported to be full of explosives and a huge explosion could be heard across the city. A second man was killed in this attack. Related stories ●Palestinians win $7.4bn aid●Paris conference analysis Hundreds of Islamic Jihad fighters gathered in the streets and fired into the air after the strike. Hours later, a second Israeli attack killed four more Islamic Jihad fighters, including a rocket maker, on the streets of Gaza City, the group said. Three of the men died immediately, while the fourth succumbed to wounds in hospital hours later. An Israeli military spokeswoman said the attacks targeted fighters preparing to fire rockets at Israel. Medical workers said the attacks also wounded two bystanders. Third strike A third air strike, also confirmed by the Israeli military, killed three Islamic Jihad fighters in a car near the northern town of Beit Lahiya, as they emerged from morning prayers, medics said. Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, 25-year-old Tarek Abu Rali, a local commander of the Al-Quds Brigades, was killed by undercover Israeli troops as he drove in a car in the northern town of Jenin, medics and Islamic Jihad said. Islamic Jihad acknowledged it had suffered heavy losses but said it would retaliate with suicide attacks inside Israel, threatening to unleash "a wave of martyrdom operations." Thousands of Gazans took to the streets in funeral processions for the dead fighters, whose bodies and coffins were draped with black Islamic Jihad flags. Matan Vilnai, Israel's deputy defence minister, hailed the "successes," saying the military was targeting the leadership of the group. Speaking to the military's radio station, he said: "The important thing is not the number of them who are hit, but their place in the organisation's hierarchy." Islamic Jihad claims responsibility for most of the rocket attacks from Gaza against Israel, although most of the projectiles fall without causing casualties. Israel accused al-Harazeen of being one of the key leaders behind those attacks. Palestinian officials said al-Harazeen, who had been on Israel's most wanted list for nine years, was the most senior commander to be killed in an Israeli strike in the Gaza Strip in more than a year. Calls have grown in Israel over the past several months for the military to launch a widespread ground offensive in Gaza to put an end to the daily firing of rockets and mortars from the Hamas-run territory. Most of the projectiles fall without causing casualties. SOURCE: Agencies

So I'm building a small 4WD robot, and bought two types of H-Bridge chips for controlling the DC motors. The robot has those standard yellow DC motors that are available at ebay, four of them total.
The H-Bridge drivers that I've bought are based on the L9110s/HG7881 chip, and the more potent L298N H-Bridge chip, both of the bought at eBay (one pair each).
To keep the post short, don't waste your money on the L9110s/HG7881 chip for driving your robot motors. While the maximum current for the DC motors would be 200mA, a grand total of 400mA (two motors) for a 800mA per channel rated L9110s chip, the chip it just burned out under the load. Magic blue smoke indeed. While the L298n chip just went along, but it has a higher power rating also. The L9110s both burned the same channel, at different times, probably due to some variations of motor load.
The L9110s is probably fine for driving static motors, that bear no load, but for anything else I have my doubts.

How to take down a drone without anti-drone gun or laser ?
Drone haters I have good news for you. You don't need to use special anti-drone launcher. On Youtube you can find at least two unprofessional ways to get rid of drone from the sky. First, more complicated idea , but actually effective is DIY homemade drone catcher with net on the board:
Even the cat is impressed 🙂
And the second idea is much more easier, but still might work 🙂 Just throw the toilet paper 🙂 Football fan in Argentina took down the drone this way when was flying under the crowd:) A roll of toilet paper is a serious anti-drone gun :))) and who hasn't it at home?
or just leave me a smile and make my day 🙂

Human health is to adaptation as disease risk is to maladaptation.
Modern medicine aims to understand the physiological causes of human diseases and how to treat them; evolutionary medicine (also known as Darwinian medicine) aims to understand how evolution has shaped human health in ways that put us as risk of diseases. Ideas central to evolutionary medicine include trade-offs, genomic conflict, constraints, and environmental mismatch.
Researchers at the Crawford Lab use evolutionary approaches to further our understanding of the human immune system, maternal health, and psychiatric conditions such as autism and schizophrenia.

iReceptor is a distributed data management system and scientific gateway for mining "Next Generation" sequence data from immune responses. The goal of the project is to: improve the design of vaccines, therapeutic antibodies and cancer immunotherapies by integrating Canadian and international data repositories of antibody and T-cell receptor gene sequences.

We have extensive experience with laser vision correction and with LASIK specifically.
While proven to be safe and effective, LASIK is still a considerable decision and should be made with confidence. We invite you to ask your Optometrist any questions you may have.
To begin the process of LASIK, the initial step is an all-inclusive eye health assessment. When booking your appointment, make sure to inform us that the purpose is LASIK consultation and referral.
When you come in for the appointment, our Optometrists will examine your eyes' ocular surfaces in addition to the overall health of these parts in order to decide whether or not corrective surgery is an appropriate option for you.
After we make that determination, we will explain the procedure's objectives and probable outcome so that you can make an informed decision. If you elect to go ahead with the surgery, we will refer you to a local ophthalmologist.
Some of the individuals who can benefit from LASIK include those who have worn vision correctors such as contact lenses or glasses for a long time, those who participate in athletic activities, and people who suffer from seasonal allergies.
In addition, the results of laser vision correction is enduring in the majority of cases, enabling you to experience the pleasure of near-perfect eyesight for the duration of your lifetime.
Each eye will take less than 10 minutes to correct, although depending on your prescription and the totality of adjustment required, the laser may need as little as 20 to 50 seconds for a complete change. The entire process can take up to two hours.
Subsequent to surgery, Eye Effects will set up a series of Optometrist appointments necessary for follow up, appraisal of your vision and the healing process. Any further post-operative needs can also be handled herein, including reading glasses, sunglasses, eye drops and treatment for dry eye.
The procedure of LASIK is very safe and undergone by countless patients worldwide everyday. While not everyone is an ideal candidate for this surgery, your Optometrist can make the determination on whether it is appropriate in your situation.

I recently did a guest spot on Ellen Harris' show where we talked about a raft of things including personal branding, personal messaging and getting yourself into your ideal position inside a company. We covered off some personal tools that I keep top of mind – which are existing ideas and concepts already out there – but which I like to apply to how you might think about yourself,
We also rapped on the nature and meaning of social business and what people need to be thinking about if they were working to introduce that into their company.
It was a fun hour – it went out live and I am guessing that Ellen enjoyed it aswell – since I have just discovered that she is replaying the interview three more times ….
