Thank you for contacting Stain Busters. We aim to get back to you as soon as possible.
Have you ever wondered why some really big bad stains are easy to remove while others that you think look easy turn out to be impossible?
Here's a brief look at stains from a professional carpets cleaners perspective. It might add some clarity and help you manage some of the common spills.
Whilst it may be obvious that some stains are harder than others, what isn't immediately obvious is the reason why, from a carpet cleaning perspective.
Basically we categorise a stain as easy if it responds to a standard shampoo or spotting agent.
"EASY" stains dissolve or emulsify in the shampoos and spotting agents used in the standard carpet cleaning process. This includes general soiling and many of your common greasy spills from food.
A "DIFFICULT" stain is therefore one that does not respond to shampoo thus requiring a different product and or procedure.
To remove most of these coloured stains, the technician has to have a product that will turn the stain back into a liquid so it can be extracted. In some cases this is reasonably easy. For instance, most nail polish can be removed with acetone or its environmentally friendly alternative. Both these products will turn the nail varnish back into a liquid and allow extraction. Some stains such as ink are not so easy because the carrying agent can be one of many different things. Reliquefying the pigment requires the technician to have a number of different products. This is one of the reasons why removing "DIFFICULT" stains remains highly specialised.
Just to make things a little more complicated, there is another set of "DIFFICULT" stains that require a chemical reaction to fade the stain away. These are stains like tea, coffee, red wine, cellulose browning, some dyes, inks, pet stains, soft drink and cordial. Different products are used to cause this chemical reaction and again some are easier than others.
A carpet cleaner with little or no stain removal expertise will consider these stains permanent when they don't respond to the cleaning process. It's common to hear comments like, "it's set now" or "it's been there too long." This is certainly not true as most of these stains can be removed by a technician with the right knowledge and products - no matter how long the stain has been there.
Another common myth spread by carpet cleaners who can't remove "DIFFICULT" stains is that you have set the stain by your attempts to fix it yourself. While I can't 100% rule out the possibility of an adverse chemical reaction from your product without all the information, I can confidently tell you, if your attempts to fix the stain have not damaged the carpet, it is highly unlikely to have set the stain. In my experience a good carpet cleaner will simply wash out any extra product that has been applied and treat the offending stain with the appropriate product and procedure and remove it.
There are some dyes and inks that can't be removed without also removing some of the carpet colour. Generally for these really stubborn stains, removal can't be done cost effectively. NB: There are very few of these, most can be successfully removed.
Bleach marks are not stains, they are permanent damage done to the carpet dye and can only be fixed by patching, recolouring or replacement.
From a Carpet Cleaners perspective, we would rather clean a room completely covered with "EASY" stains no matter how badly soiled the carpet looks. We know these stains will respond to the shampoo and specialised spotters we use in the cleaning process. On the other hand, the one "DIFFICULT" stain over in the corner, although it's only the size of a 50 cent coin, is likely to be more difficult, take additional time and almost certainly require additional products and procedures.
Hopefully you now have a new perspective on what's an easy stain and what's not. This will be especially important if you have difficult stains and are choosing a carpet cleaner. Hopefully I have given you enough information to ask the right questions to make sure you get the right person for the job.
If you have carpet in your home, chances are you will need to attend to a spill at some stage. Having some easy methods to attend to fresh stains may save you the need to call in a professional.
Before I get into the stain removal tips I thought it was important to dispel a few myths about carpet and carpet stain removal. Once you have this information you can tackle those fresh spills with confidence and the best chance of getting a great result.
You shouldn't steam clean wool carpet because it will shrink. This is not true of any tufted carpet. The myth has arisen around the very real chance of a woven carpet shrinking if it was installed or cleaned incorrectly. Over 90 % of woollen carpets are constructed using the tufting method and those woven carpets still out there can be steam cleaned by someone who knows what they are doing provided they have been installed properly.
You shouldn't clean woollen carpets because you will wash the lanolin out of it. The lanolin that naturally occurs in the sheep's fleece is completely and 100% stripped out of the wool as it is being processed into yarn. Lanolin is a greasy fatty substance and would make keeping the carpet clean and dyeing the yarn impossible. Consequently no woollen carpet has ever had the smallest trace of lanolin left in it. Steam cleaning remains the manufacturer's preferred cleaning method for a full restorative clean.
You shouldn't vacuum your carpet with a beater because it is wearing out the pile. It is strongly recommended that you do vacuum your carpets with a machine that has a motorised power head (beater). The extra vibration this causes helps dislodge more grit allowing it to be sucked away. The grit left deep in the pile is what causes most of the wear so it makes sense to remove as much as possible. Some woollen carpets shed small amounts of fibre as they are vacuumed. These are tiny little barbs on the main fibre and having these come off and vacuumed away is not hurting the carpet. Because some carpets shed quite a lot in the early stages this might explain how this myth came about.
Pour salt on to any spill quickly and allow it to soak it up. Watching salt change colour as it soaks up the red wine, tea or coffee could easily make you think this is a good idea but it really isn't. If you have ever tried it you will know it doesn't soak everything up. No matter how much salt you use there will always be a residue which you will have to fix anyway. Save yourself the salt and all the extra work of cleaning up the salt and treat all fresh stains with water and blot with a clean dry towel. This will dilute the problem and provide more carrying agent to be absorbed giving you a better transfer onto the towel. If this method fails to remove the whole spill you can try warm water (*except blood see note below) and "MILD" dishwashing detergent and continue to blot until the stain is gone or no longer responding. If the stain persists refer to our stain chart for stain specific advice. You can download a copy from our website free of charge or visit the stain advice section. *The protein in blood will congeal when heated making it harder to remove.
The best thing to put on red wine is white wine and vice versa. This is not correct although pouring white wine onto red does work, the white wine is just doing what water will do so save the white wine and stick to the instructions above. Pouring red onto white is not only wasting wine but also doubling your work and risking leaving a tannin stain which will be a lot harder to remove than the fresh wine stain.
Bicarb Soda is a good stain remover. This is like the salt in that it will soak some of the spill and leave a residue. The problem with putting it on your carpet apart from it making a mess and leaving a residue is it can actually chemically burn carpet. Some woollen carpets do not like anything with a high pH and it can be chemically burnt on contact.
Its alkalinity and the fact it remains damp from soaking up some of the spill can also promote cellulose browning (a different chemical reaction) which will require specialised knowledge to reverse.
Bicarb can be useful in balancing or creating a chemical reaction to help in advanced stain removal but this requires knowledge of the chemical makeup of both the stain and the products you are using. Unless you have this expertise the best thing is to stick to the water and towel method as described herein. In most cases it is all you will ever need on a fresh spill. Check our stain Removal Advice section on our website for more instructions if a stain is not responding to this first step.
Off the shelf carpet cleaners and stain removers must be OK or they wouldn't make those claims on TV. The off the shelf carpet cleaner & stain remover is often not acceptable for wool and New Generation carpets. They have a high alkalinity to make them affective on grease and oil but this high pH can chemically burn wool carpets and strip the protection from New Generation carpets. You will usually find they have some small print which covers them for the damage they do. It will say something like "apply to a small area and check for colour fastness" Even if you can't find this on the label it is a good idea to do this with any product you haven't used before. These products use alkalinity so can be affective on general dirt, oil and grease stains but will be ineffective on most coloured stains once they have dried.
You must use salt or vinegar to balance the chemical reaction. Whilst there may be some times when balancing or changing the chemistry of a stain is going to help you remove it, in most cases it will be irrelevant when dealing with a fresh spill. I advise to follow the water and the dry towel instructions and seek stain specific advice if a residue remains. Water is a great first step as it will dilute the stain's colour and the acidity/alkalinity. Because water is neutral it will bring the pH up toward neutral in an acid spill and down toward neutral in an alkaline spill. Neural or slightly acid is where you carpet likes to be.
It must be OK I read it on the internet. Unfortunately you can't believe everything on the internet. I advise you stick to a trusted source where possible. If you don't have a trusted source, do your research and check out a few sites. Look for consistency and contradiction. Both will help you narrow down your search. Be wary of sites selling a product especially if they claim one product fixes all stains on all types of carpet. They are blatantly lying to you and can't be trusted. Their label is most likely full of small print diluting these spectacular claims. Our technicians carry around up to 20 different products some of which we would never use on a woollen or New Generation carpet and we have others we only use on a particular stain, knowing nothing else will work. We have 6 different products for ink because ink has several different carrying agents. Even if an off the shelf cleaner worked on your last ink spill it is no guarantee it will work on the next! There is no one product that fixes all despite the many claims to the contrary.
Attend to the stain as quickly as possible. Don't stop until it is gone completely or not coming out anymore.
Never use bleach, it will remove most stains but it will also change the colour of your carpet. Do not use dish washer or clothes washing powders. They are very high in alkalinity, even if the don't damage your carpet they will almost certainly leave a stubborn residue.
If using an off the shelf cleaner do a colour fast test in an inconspicuous area to make sure it isn't going to pH burn or remove dye from your carpet. These are often high residue so be prepared to get out what you put in to avoid premature re soiling.
On large stains start at the outside and work your way in to avoid spreading.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet, even the well meaning sites may buy into the myths and other bush remedies. Some bush remedies work on some things some of the time so unless you have this context you need to be wary of them. Work with a trusted source or do your research.

I hope this has been helpful and there were a few myths I have busted for you.
Birthday parties are a wonderful celebration. Whether you're hosting a party for your child, yourself or your friend, you want the entire event to go as smoothly as possible. You've ordered the cake, have the food sorted and purchased all the necessary party supplies.
You feel excited as they day for the party approaches, but you also might have a small, looming fear. Maybe you just cleaned your carpet or had new flooring installed. Perhaps you just bought new furniture for your home. Whatever the case, you'd like to keep your home as clean as possible.
Below, we've listed three birthday party stain hazards so you can prepare in advance and avoid staining your flooring or furniture.
No party would be complete without a cake to celebrate the birthday boy or girl. Whether you're throwing a party for your four-year-old daughter or a birthday bash for your 20-year-old best friend, cake is a party requirement.
Unfortunately, cakes come covered in sweet and colourful icing or toppings. Though this cake topping may seem like a great treat to eat, it quickly loses its appeal if it gets trampled into your carpets or rugs. And these stains can prove incredibly difficult to remove-especially if the coloured icing contains bright food dye.
Additionally, other desserts and sweets can pose the same risk at your celebration. The obvious solution, weather permitting, is to plan to have the food table outside. A good second option in case the weather is not conducive to an outside party is to have a table set up on a hard floor area.
If all else fails and you must eat on a carpeted area, set up a table with chairs, encouraging people to sit at the table. This will overcome the highest risk of food falling to the floor. People walking around, holding a plate in one hand and a drink in the other is the perfect recipe for a spill. You may not have to worry about this outside but you should try to avoid this situation on your carpeted areas if you can.
1)Scrape or blot up any excess.
2)Make up a mixture of 1 teaspoon of washing up liquid (not laundry) with a litre of warm water. Blot this onto the stain working from the outside in so as not to spread the stain.
3)Blot dry with a colour fast towel. Double it over and tread or kneel on it to draw up as much of the liquid and stain as possible. Do not use salt. The towel works better and without the mess.
4)Repeat this procedure for as long as it works or until the stain is gone.
If a residue remains go to our website www.stainbusters.com.au for advice on your particular stain.
Again, if you must serve these foods on your carpeted area, encourage your guests to sit at the table. Any steps you take to avoid people walking, talking and trying to eat and drink on their feet will reduce the chance of a spill.
After eating, your guests will want to move around and socialise. If you want your party to be a success you are unlikely to stop people from having a drink once they have left the table.
Most drink spills you encounter at a party are easy to remove with the above method provided you get to it before it dries/sets. An exception to this rule is brightly coloured soft drinks including those containing alcohol. Drinks coloured with pink, red, blue, green or yellow food colour (including cruisers) can cause an immediate stain that will require a professional. If you do encounter a spill with food colour, it still pays to follow the procedure to remove as much as you can.
You may not be able to completely avoid a stain but you will reduce the amount of colour that needs to be removed when your professional arrives. This will make the job easier and therefore cheaper for you. Placing a wet towel over a fresh stain can help avoid the stain from setting. This is particularly important if you can't get help straight away. It can also buy you a day or two to allow a professional to turn up in "normal time". Emergency callout fees are often 2, 3 or 5 time more expensive than the normal rate depending on the day and time of the emergency.
As you prepare to host a birthday party, remember some items could stain your flooring and furniture more easily than others. Use the tips above to minimise the chance of spills or stains in your home or office building. However, should a stain occur, contact a cleaning company with proven stain removal expertise to remove the stain and return the area to its previous condition.

When you have to get to work or class early in the morning, you don't have much time to get ready. You quickly spread foundation on your face and add some mascara and lipstick. Your rapid getting-ready process is going well-until you accidentally drop your open lipstick tube on the carpet.
On a light-coloured carpet, a dark red lipstick stain definitely stands out. Fortunately, there's a way to remove this and other stains that might happen while you get ready for the day. First, read our general stain removal advice. Then, follow these cleaning tips.
There's a right way and a wrong way to remove a lipstick stain. Rubbing the stain with water may only push the stain further into the carpet.
Since lipstick is composed of a pigment as well as waxes, oils, fats and emollients, you'll need to apply a solvent that can dissolve each of these substances. Some people make the mistake of removing the waxes, oils, fats and emollients, but leaving the colour behind.
The most effective solvent choices for removing all these substances are dry cleaning fluid or methylated spirits (alcohol that's formulated for cleaning).
Once you've applied the solvent, blot the stain with a towel. It's important to use a colour-fast towel, or the towel will lose its original colour. If the stain gets lighter, keep blotting. If not, call a carpet cleaning professional.
A professional will use a powerful product and because they can rinse and extract they will make sure there is no lipstick or product residue.
If you spill foundation on your carpet, you can still preserve your carpet. Just as makeup remover cleanses makeup from your face, it might remove it from your carpet as well. Try dabbing makeup remover on the stain with a colour-fast towel. Choose an oil-free makeup remover so it doesn't leave behind an unsightly oil stain.
Alternatively, you could try a dry cleaning fluid. Dry cleaning fluid typically consists of a chemical called tetrachloroethylene, which effectively cleans delicate fabrics. However, follow the product safety instructions very closely.
If the stain remains, call a professional carpet cleaner right away.
Another common stain you might see near your bathroom or vanity is a nail polish stain. If you spill a small amount of nail polish on your carpet, try applying nail polish remover. If it seems to work, continue until the stain is completely removed.
Larger stains and stubborn stains should be removed by a professional. Without extraction and powerful products, the polish's pigment might stay behind. A professional's chemicals transform the polish into a liquid and extract both the liquid and the colour pigment.
If you polish your shoes before you head out the door, be careful not to spill your shoe polish. If you do, apply dry cleaning fluid or methylated spirits to the stain. To avoid spreading the stain, start cleaning at the outside of the stain and move toward the centre.
Liquid brush-on shoe polishes are especially tricky to remove, so use caution. If you're uncomfortable removing the stain, call a carpet cleaning professional.
You may be able to remove light stains near your bathroom or vanity. But makeup, nail polish and shoe polish contain many different substances, and are very difficult to remove. If you aren't precise, you might even make the stain worse.
If you're unable to remove the stain yourself or don't want it to get worse, call a professional carpet cleaner, who can remove the stain while protecting the integrity of your carpet.
Do You Make These 5 Carpet Cleaning Mistakes?


Many organizations working with teenagers have discovered that this sometimes-challenging population can be effectively engaged in programs that emphasize career exploration and on-the-job experience. This toolkit will help FBO leaders to get oriented to these kinds of programs and understand the potential benefits of them. The toolkit also includes reviews of curriculum FBO leaders may want to try as well as various sample exercises/activities to conduct with teens in a vocational development program. Getting participant and parent feedback is an important part of any solid youth program, and so the toolkit includes sample evaluation forms that could be used "as is" or adapted to fit specific program needs.

WYPR's Senior News Analyst opines on recent Maryland news.
The Civil Rights Train Never Stops, Never Brakes
Published December 18, 2014 at 9:28 AM EST
When you get on the civil rights train, you can never get off. That was the late Parren Mitchell's urging. Contemporary events, if nothing else, prove him quite right. He and his famous civil rights family knew the landscape as well as any. You couldn't get off the civil rights train because it had not – might not ever – reach its destination. The struggle would not end. You had to ride on and on.
You had to ride -- even when Barack Obama was elected president, even when some declared the arrival of a post-racial society in the United States, even when many African-Americans suddenly found a measure of upward mobility. With all of that, we had the phenomenon of orange as the new black. Prison became a symbol of injustice; blacks were so much more likely to be charged and incarcerated. Or, as we cannot fail to see, apparently more likely to be shot or choked or abused in confrontations with police.
"Hands up, Don't Shoot!" and "I Can't Breathe" are chanted across the width and breadth of the land. As if we were back in the '60s, marchers are finally demanding action: better training for police officers; a new approach to combating crime committed by police, decommissioning of military style armaments in police departments; a new examination of sentencing practices.
We have forgotten Parren Mitchell's warning. We climbed down from the barricades too quickly. We were misled by progress – dramatic as it was. Important steps were taken, but the mission was not accomplished. The wages of slavery and discrimination and American apartheid can never be repaid. But civil rights and equal justice can be demanded. As long as we stay on the train.

You might find him planning vacations at Lugos Travel, raising money for area schools, or joining in a local pub run, but wherever you find him, ItsJustCharity.org's Shane Mahoney will tell you why Lakeland is a great place to do good work.
The Lakelander: How did you come to call Lakeland home?
Shane Mahoney: Lakeland was initially a tough relationship for me. I call it home, but I've known so many. While not originally from Lakeland, I moved here in the fourth grade and stayed until I graduated from Lakeland High School in 1995. At the time, I thought I'd never live here again and went about my adventures. After thirteen years of living elsewhere, I'd come to appreciate what Lakeland truly oers and made my way back willingly and with verve.
live, surrounded by many attractions of which the world can be jealous. In the end, a large part of doing this work is borne from wanting to show up-and-coming adults that Lakeland is a great place to stay and that it's a community that truly does care.
uence your work — professional and charitable — now?
and letting all other decisions ow from there, has changed my entire perspective on life and how I wish to live it. I believe in being the change I want to see. And where I've made mistakes, I've corrected them and moved on to just be better next time. I also don't dwell on the past much, at least not when there's so much riding on the future.
TL: Speaking of your charitable work, what is ItsJustCharity.org?
SM: It's an event-based, youth education and mentoring charity designed to help in small but measurable ways. That means a lot of different things, so let me explain.
We started ItsJustCharity.org based on three principles which we use to guide us. First, we wanted it to be about kids' education and life balance. I feel that upcoming generations will face different economic and job challenges than what we see today. Much of that is borne from the technological and scientific changes that are occurring. It's diffi cult for anyone to just pick up those fields and run with them.
Our second principle was to be event based. We wanted to bring entertaining things to Lakeland, and knowing that each and every one of us enjoy going out, want to have a good time, and will gladly spend money on it, we figured why not off er events that everyone would want to attend and that just so happen to off er a great cause as the benefactor? Th ere's no reason giving to charity can't be fun. Lastly, we wanted to be sure everything we did was locally based and locally benefi cial. Everything we raise in Polk County, we keep in Polk County. Not that other charities aren't deserving, but we really felt that we could be about a community helping itself.
SM: It started from a philosophy I've had for years, that where something can be done, it should. Having had personal experience with how much teachers spend per semester to educate the children of other people, and especially given how little they make, I simply felt like it was something that had to be done. We all hope that the proper amount of attention is being paid to budgets so that the best education can be had by all, but I just thought that until that happens, I'd rather fill the gap. I'd hope that if we all just pitched in a little we could all benefit. Ultimately, I feel that every dollar put into the education system today is worth multiple times the investment when compared to the cost of someone spending twenty years in our penal system.
TL: What makes ItsJustCharity.org so effective?
SM: Well, I suppose an argument could be made either way depending on your standards. I feel what we've been able to accomplish is modest, and I'm eternally grateful for the many people who have helped and continue to help, but I don't think I'll ever be satisfied until real change in our education system occurs. That would be a conversation for another day, though. Personally, I feel that ItsJustCharity.org operates on love and kindness, so whatever gains we make, modest or otherwise, I'm happy to see the community supporting something I feel is important.
TL: What have you learned? What advice would you give aspiring charity founders?
SM: I've learned that there is no halfway with this life. If you want to do it, you need to be fully committed. That being said, it's rewarding in ways that far eclipse monetary gains. After all the work comes the reward in seeing the people we can affect, and while I may never truly know if anything we've done will make a huge difference per se, I think it's more about the effort. Sometimes it's the smallest of gestures that can have the greatest impact.
TL: What events have already happened? What ones are coming up?
SM: We built the premise around just four yearly events. For one thing, putting these together are time intensive, and for another we didn't want to constantly be in people's faces. We'd rather do what we do well and be like a charity treat you can indulge in from time to time.
The Diamonds and Pearls Masquerade Ball benefits the Florida Baptist Children's Home which takes care of kids who need short- and long-term foster care as well as guardian ad litem. We love this event because it gives us all a chance to dress up and really go out on the town.
Later in the year we host our It's Just Comedy Night which benefits the Learning Resource Center. We support this organization because they really do a fantastic job of supporting education in Polk County. They are locally based and independently funded.
The Just a Lil Bit Country Event is our latest creation and our event for local classrooms and teachers. It's how we fill the void where good teachers want to have the best ways to teach but can't pay for it themselves. We're hoping this event is a success, and it marks our first and only kid-friendly event. So far we've been able to pay for butterfly terrariums, robotics laboratories for third graders, and PE equipment for eight hundred kids.
Our last event is our signature Wine & Cigar Night which helps us address our own budgetary needs as well as plan for long-range projects. One of my goals is to eradicate text books in favor of iPads or the like. To me, it opens so many new learning paths while saving kids from toting around thirty-ish pounds of books and the resulting health issues.
TL: What's the best way to get involved with ItsJustCharity.org?
SM: The best part of what we do is make giving to charity not only easy, but fun! If you'd like to help, …follow us on Facebook, go to our website, and come to our events! Take a chance and let us show you.

Here are some instructions about how to install the Jèrriais spellchecker in Firefox. It's not exactly straightforward but doesn't require any technical knowledge.
If you already have a spellchecker for, say, English or French installed for Firefox, and if you've added some words to the dictionary (i.e. marked them correct when a squiggly line is shown), then there'll be somewhere in a "User" folder a file called persdict.dat (that's the personalised dictionary file). This file is simply a text document, a list of words, that can be edited with a text editor (such as Wordpad). Important: Firefox must be shut down before attempting to edit persdict.dat! (Otherwise any changes won't be saved) If you've already downloaded jerriais.dic and installed it for Word/Office, open jerriais.dic with a text editor and copy and paste the list of words into persdict.dat and save.
Install spellchecker: In Firefox, Tools > Options > Advanced > and select "Check my spelling as I type"; then Tools > Add-ons > and select and install a dictionary file of your choice. Once you've used Firefox's spellchecker in any language and closed Firefox, there'll be a persdict.dat file created somewhere in a "User" folder. You can then add the contents of jerriais.dic to this persdict.dat file by copying and pasting as described above.

Handicrafts of India
???????? from Gaatha
Gaatha project was originally conjured only for researching and documenting the rapid erosion of Indian craft clusters and heritage. However, we soon learnt from the artisans themselves that need was not to do research alone, but to restore 'pride and serious commercial opportunity' in their ecosystem. Today Gaatha thus aims to bring the lost respect and wealth back to these beautiful and aesthetically rich Indian handicraft clusters. These researches are important because just like Industrial goods sell on 'features', crafts sell on the processes / stories / heritage that go into making them.
We should give crafts a fair chance, someone is right now merrily making something for us, singing a folk song, in a humble house, deep inside India.

The toys that made them!
What day or date it is cannot be said with certainty because every day on the streets of this village, in its by-lanes and fields, at the porch of each household, in its ceremonies and in the insignificant but repetitive gestures of its women, carrying in their hands the destiny of their men, the future and the present of the village and of all those people and places anyone from here is ever going to touch, is the same. Little big cases of wood carried everywhere carry in turn the present, the future and the stories of what has now become past in them… Past, that can be very much seen in everything they do and believe in today.
Mother, a treasure house of mysteries had always intrigued Ganesh with the varied many roles and ensemble of things she played with throughout the day. His bonding with her might have been natal and natural but his growing interest in her was purely owing to the dreamboat she was. Every morning ever since he knew he had watched her get ready in front of her mirror… among her Tilak, fresh fragrant flowers and jewels were placed six wondrous boxes. These cylindrical wooden boxes were lacquered and colored in turmeric yellow, amber red, green, indigo blue, black and orange, with beautiful knobbed lids sitting on top.
Each of them was opened in turns and a little ritual was performed with the contained ingredients…. In between she would go and come back… fresh, water trickling down the long black strands of her hair like cascades… The room would suddenly be full of sharp spicy fragrance replacing the mild aroma of the fresh flowers sitting on her hair now… the play would get further mystified as clouds of smoke rising from the burning pot would be sent out by her in gentle waving gesture, making the goddess visible only through a misty screen. A shout would be heard and mother would come out of the room, leaving the goddess inside for the rest of the day… an indication for Ganesh to get ready and be present at kitchen for breakfast. Mother then would spend a few moments offering prayers to goddess Tulasi in the courtyard, where she has to protect and bring good fortune to the family…. a plate with Dhoopam, Kum-kum and a Lota filled with water… and on the way back she would get a few leaves from her branches. This would be the first interaction of her day with her female consorts…. every day. Meanwhile, by this time Ganesh is sitting on the kitchen ledge; fresh and dressed up for school, mother like goddess Annapurna appears with hot steaming Idlis and Sambar in her hands. And before biding goodbyes never did she ever once forget to smear his brown forehead with the mark of Sandal Tilak, right in between the brows and place a peck just above it.
Ganesh would most often go through this ceremony with closed eyes…partly to feel the cool of sandal flow down the rest of his body but mostly for that rush that he uses to get … like a thousand butterflies rising to the floral scent of mother's hair. He believes in her, he believes in her presence around him, in the flowers that he can still smell, sitting in his classroom, the white clouds, the goddess in the dressing room and the mystic messages from skies that she lets out with her hands filling their house with prayers.
Lessons taught in class were important to pass exams but life was teaching Ganesh some other lesson, that seemed unavoidable… and before he knew, the butterfly of his imagination would take a flight and sit on some colorful object, something with an aura of sorts, the kind that grips you because it has a story to say…. while his gaze remained fixated on the blur grey of the chalk board, he would be drifting in some clouds, rolling down green hills or hanging from tree branches…. and so, the day would pass… Though, today on his way back from school he stopped by a little workshop at the turn of the lane. Anna sitting there in a heap of wood shavings was turning a block of wood on a lathe machine. He had seen this many times from outside but something pulled him closer today. After all, this was the place those message boxes of mother's were brought from. Anna, a stout middle age man seemed jolly and did not mind his presence in the workshop. The wood kept rotating at a very high speed, while Anna held his magic torch to it and Lo! The rectangular wood turned into a cylinder right before his eyes… Wood shavings flying off in curled roles like those delicious cream roles in the bakery had by now an effect on him… he was drooling, mouth wide open… Finding some space on the soft mattress of wood shavings, he sat to take a closer look. The cylinder was now taking many shapes.
The magic wand touched the wood at a place and a ring got formed… soon many concentric rings got formed on the surface of it. Now it began to get hollow from within. A touch and a whole lot of wood spooling out in roles, leaving behind empty space. It was like nothing he had seen before. These message boxes were indeed made magically. Fully convinced with his conclusion, he began looking around for more clues and surprises in the sea of wood shavings with Anna and his magical powers on boat. Finding nothing more than a few more magic wands lying around, he began introspecting… they were slightly different from each other but nothing he touched with it transformed like they did in Anna's hands. Further digging into the swirly wood mounds, few pieces of colorful rocks were discovered…. Just like the colors of the boxes. "What are these and where did you find them?" "They came from nature around us." "God gave you these?"
"Yes…." Lifting a red stone in his hands he smiled to little Ganesh. He touched it to the rotating wood and Lo and behold! The wood turned red in color. Ganesh could not believe his eyes… rubbing them quickly he handed over a blue to him…. And again, in no time a touch of blue made a blue ring around the brim of the rotating wood. With his eyes barely keeping within their sockets at what they were witnessing, he was fully convinced with Anna's close association with god…. How else could he just touch things and change their form and color. His surprise was not one that could be hidden… as he got up and brushed his short pants roughly and got leaving…. Anna's creative hand rose in slow motion and handed him a red flower, with a stem to hold. It was surely one of the pieces from his world, perfectly round and red. Partly in haste, partly grateful and hugely astonished, he shot out like a bullet, straight to his home. Swung his bag to one corner and shouting for his mother ran towards the kitchen…
"Mother, look what I got for you. Red flower" Taking it in her hands she smiled… "This flower is special, where did you get it from" Narrating his whole story with surprise and heart pumping just as fast, he had only looked aside for a second when his mother leaned forward and with a twist of her fingers let the red flower swirling and dancing on the floor…. Its red turning blur from bright…. Swaying side by side….left to right… while the black beady eyes stood fixed on it…
Tharani or Turned wood lacquer ware craft originated from a village called Lakapalli (or Nakapalli) near Etikoppaka in Vishakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh. While Etikoppaka excelled in making playing tops and Baranis (wooden boxes) to contain various items to be offered to Gods since historic times. During 15th century Toys, Boxes, utilitarian products like bowls, spice jars, idols of God & Goddesses were made here for local use as well as export. The craft saw a decline for a long period of time during colonial rule as a part of colonial policy that aimed at breaking the sustainable economic systems of India. In 1988 however, it came back to life with the efforts of many people, noteworthy of them are Mr. C.V Raju, who played a great role together with Uzra Bilgrami, in reviving the craft by introducing new product ranges inspired by traditional products but keeping in mind the modern requirements. Mr. Raju, an agriculturist by education has been working in the craft popularly known as Etikoppaka toys or Etikoppaka Bommalu since last 30 years.
Out of the total population of eleven thousand people, three hundred to four hundred men and women are involved in the craft today. The other main sources of income to this village are agriculture and milk production apart from the craft. The craft community has around 160 households and they mostly stay in joint families with four to six members in each family. Their mother tongue is Telugu but few in the community understand and speak Hindi and English. Vishwa Bhramins, the carpenters of the village were involved in toy making craft in the region since historic times. Padmashali, who were the weavers & Devangas, who were the spinners later joined the group since all the weaving practices in the village came to an end in early 1990s.
Raw materials sourced for the craft are locally growing Wrightia Tinctoria wood (??????) & its sub specie Wrightia Tomentosa. It is a soft wood also called as ivory wood or white wood. For inducing color in the toys, natural dyes are extracted from seeds, bark, roots and leaves which are mix with lac with the process of oxidation. After this process, the end product obtained is rich in color. This lac dye is used for coloring the Etikoppaka toys.
Sketches with measurements are given to the artisan to make small products precisely. They also work out many products through their own imagination. The artisans are skilled enough to figure out the technical nuances of any product within the limitation. Design inspirations are often taken from South Indian temple pillars, old brass utensils, Barinis . The tools used are mainly Chisels of different types- Goruli, Monauli, Lovuli and Hulli for scalping, hollowing, refining purposes. Every artisan makes his customized tools usually.
Once the wood is harvested it is being semi finished and kept for seasoning for six weeks or so depending on the size of the product. Not more than two people are involved in making of a single product. Each and every Artisan household has a work place for preparing these artifacts. Before motorized lathes, artisans practiced on hand lathes. Both turning and chiseling of the wooden block were done by men. In 1975, with the intervention of motorized lathe machines, human labor was reduced to chiseling work, increasing their productivity as well as capacity to innovate. Shavings obtained during turning are being used as fuel for cooking and also made into a mosquito repellant. The wood powder is mixed with cow dung, Neem leaf and Sambarani & burnt to keep mosquitoes away. Smallest possible beads are made out of the last piece of wood.

After an obsessed childhood of anything war related, at the age of 16, I joined the British Army as an Infantryman, serving in The 2nd Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment. After 2 active tours, and postings to Germany, The United States, Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom, I went out into the big wide world, becoming ensnared in Sales management. But my heart was still in the military.
With many of my family serving in the military during WW2, including participation in the D Day landings, I never seemed to be too far away from my passion. That passion would become reinvigorated when I visited the open air museum, that is the Normandy Battlefield, with friends in 1998. This would eventually lead to our permanent move to the heart of the Normandy Battlefield in 2003.
Since 2004 I have been working as a Battlefield guide in Normandy. With an insatiable hunger for , knowledge of both the D Day landings and the many inland battles of Normandy, my depth and knowledge would eventually lead to becoming a published D Day author, with the book "Following in the footsteps of hero's".
Here is a link to my book that I am co-author of. You may find it an interesting read whether you are visiting Normandy alone or with a guide.
On the 14th May 2016, Dale had the pleasure of taking Rick Steves out on a full day tour. During the day Dale guided Rick around the American sector sites. Also working together to verify and clarify the contents of his Normandy travel guide with regards to many of the D Day sites. Dale has worked with Rick Steves, as a company, since 2004 and will hopefully be able to support them for many years to come.
If you would like to experience a day where "history and passion come together as one", I can offer you a wide selection of tours.

I will eventually be moving from Movable Type to WordPress. The reason is basically their new licencing scheme and that horrible thing called TypeKey. I already have the new server available, I'm just waiting for some spare time so I can install WP and migrate all my MT data to it.

Wie die Stotz (), der Wetterkreuzberg (), der Taubenkopf (), der Hüttenberg () und der Breitenberg () gehört die Kanzel zu den Vorbergen und -gipfeln des Kalmitmassivs (). Die Entfernung zum Hauptgipfel Kalmit beträgt 630 m in westnordwestlicher Richtung. Der Berg wird im Süden durch das Tal des Alsterweiler Baches und im Nordosten durch das Klausental begrenzt.

Naturräumliche Zuordnung
Die Kanzel gehört zum Naturraum Pfälzerwald, der in der Systematik des von Emil Meynen und Josef Schmithüsen herausgegebenen Handbuches der naturräumlichen Gliederung Deutschlands und seinen Nachfolgepublikationen als Großregion 3. Ordnung klassifiziert wird. Betrachtet man die Binnengliederung des Naturraums, so gehört er zum Mittleren Pfälzerwald und hier zum Gebirgszug der Haardt, welche den Pfälzerwald zur Oberrheinischen Tiefebene hin abgrenzt.

Zusammenfassend folgt die naturräumliche Zuordnung der Kanzel damit folgender Systematik:
Großregion 1. Ordnung: Schichtstufenland beiderseits des Oberrheingrabens
Großregion 2. Ordnung: Pfälzisch-Saarländisches Schichtstufenland
Großregion 3. Ordnung: Pfälzerwald
Region 4. Ordnung (Haupteinheit): Mittlerer Pfälzerwald
Region 5. Ordnung: Haardt

Verkehr und Wandern
Am Südhang des Berges steigt die vom Maikammerer Ortsteil Alsterweiler und um den Wetterkreuzberg führende Kalmithöhenstraße (Landesstraße 515) in Richtung Kalmitgipfel auf. Um den Berg verlaufen markierte Wanderwege des Pfälzerwaldvereins. Ausgehend vom Wetterkreuzberg verläuft aufsteigend über den langen Bergrücken ein schmaler, wenig begangener und nicht markierter Wanderpfad zum Gipfel auf und dann weiter über einen zugewachsenen, ehemaligen Forstweg in Richtung Taubenkopf. Der Berg ist vollständig bewaldet. Im unteren Bereich besteht ein Mischwald aus Edelkastanien, Traubeneichen und Kiefern, der mit zunehmender Höhe in einen lichten Kiefernwald übergeht, der eine ausgedehnte Besenheidevegetation am Boden ermöglicht.

I could be completely not hungry.
Then I start watching Food Network or reading through some of my favorite food blogs.
And all of a sudden I'm starving.
Last night, I wanted cookies!
I really did not feel like whipping out flour and butter....then take 45 minutes to make cookies.
That is...until I remembered that I have have my moms peanut butter cookie recipe!
So I threw the peanut butter, sugar and eggs in the mixer really quick and made some cookies!
The kids are long asleep by now...and my hubby works overnights.
The beauty of that...is that I don't have to fight anyone who who gets to lick the peanut butter spoon.
I did not try to make pretty cookies.
At 10:45 pm...no one cares about pretty cookies.
a glass of chocolate milk.
Step Two: Squeeze until you can't squeeze no more.
By the way....like my glass?
Nope, not a real "Red Solo Cup"
I bought it at Target off the dollar bins.
Now, we sit and wait for the cookies to be done.
Now it's time to go drink chocolate milk and eat cookies in bed while watching a Lifetime Movie!
What's your perfect night alone? Thanks so much for stopping by!
Come back on Wednesday for more!
Those cookies sound delicious! And so easy! I'll definitely have to try making some.
I made them again tonight - so easy and good!
Cookies look yummy. And the Teespring sounds like a great idea. I pinned it to my Activism board. My t would be "Don't shop, Adopt!!!"
I like that idea for a t-shirt! Head over to teespring and make one! You could use the money to adopt a new animal or donate it to your local shelter!


The Irish Universities Crowley Cup, sponsored by fast food brand Rustlers, is back again with Ulster University Coleraine for the fifth time in seven years after they managed to survive their third penalty shoot in successive games in this season's tournament to regain the trophy they relinquished to rivals Queens University Belfast last year.
The all northern final at the Coleraine Campus against St Mary's University College Belfast saw the home side come from behind to hold out for 1-1 draw after extra time before going on to prove more accurate winning the penalty shoot out 6-5.
A Nathan Garland O'Neill penalty on the half hour had given St Mary's the early lead and after netting four times without reply against UCC in the previous day's semi final the Belfast side looked well capable of going on to spoil the hosts bid for a much sought after Crowley Cup win on home soil.
Ryan Burke might have snatched a quick equaliser with an instant reply but he failed to get a touch on Matt McIlfatrick's cross.
However Coleraine were not to be denied and they proved once again that they are a resilient outfit with Bobby Crowe a towering presence and they hit back strongly to equalise shortly before the interval.
The vital goal that sent them in at half time in a good mood came from Sam Lindsay who made no mistake with a firm header from James Gould's free to get them back on level terms.
Coleraine 'keeper Ben McCauley had to be in top form after the break as the game quickly developed into a tough competitive affair and he was tested a number of times as St Mary's chased a winner.
Lindsay had another header go just past the post and McIlfatrick was wide of the target from Gould's corner.
Even 20 minutes of extra time failed to yield another goal for either side and thanks to a couple of brilliant penalty saves by McCauley it was then left to Jack Robinson to slot home the winning spot kick for Coleraine's win.

\section{Introduction}

The X-ray transient source XTE J1806--246 (=2S1803--245=MX1803--24) was
discovered by SAS--3 in May 1976 (\cite{jern_iau}, \cite{jern_nat}).
An isolated X-ray burst from this region of the sky was detected by the
Wide Field Camera 1 (WFC1) on the BeppoSAX observatory on Apr. 2, 1998.
The All Sky Monitor (ASM) of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite detected
the beginning of an X-ray outburst of the source on Apr. 16, 1998
(\cite{asm_iauc}). Observations in other wavebands revealed
the probable radio (\cite{radio}) and
optical (\cite{optics}) counterparts of the object.

Quasi Periodical Oscillations (QPO) were discovered by \cite{rudi}
in the power density spectrum (PDS) of the source in data obtained
on May 3 1998.
In this Letter we present results of timing analysis of the PCA/RXTE
experiment data, discuss the power density spectrum of the source
and report detected correlations of QPO parameters on energy range
and X-ray flux.

\section{Observations and analysis}

We analyzed archival data obtained by the RXTE observatory during
the outburst of the source in Apr.-July 1998. Brief information
about the observations is presented in the Table \ref{obslog}.

\end{table}

The data were analyzed according to the RXTE Cook Book recipes using the
FTOOLS, version 4.2 tasks. For background estimations we used the VLE
model for observations when X-ray flux was high, and the L7/240 for
the observations corresponding to low flux.

The data were collected in different modes ({\em Standard 2}, {\em Event
Mode}, {\em Single Binned} and {\em Binned Mode}) with the best timing
resolution of 16$\mu$s in hard energy bands ($\ga$13 keV), and of
8 ms and 125 $\mu$s in soft energy bands ($\la$13 keV). The
X-ray flux from the source appears to be highly erratic, with significant
variability at all time scales.

observations (2--13 keV energy band). The solid lines represent models
for the PDS, that consist of Very Low Frequency Noise, High Frequency
Noise and QPO for observation \#4 (see text)
\label{pds}}
\end{figure}

To obtain a broad band power density spectra we used data of two
types. For the PDS at frequencies higher than 0.05 Hz we used
16 sec data segments with an 8 ms time resolution.
This gave us a set of power density spectra between 1/16 and
64 Hz, which were subsequently averaged and corrected for deadtime
modified poissonian noise
(\cite{deadtime}). To obtain PDS in a lower frequency band
($\sim 5\times10^{-4}$ Hz -- $\sim$0.1 Hz) we used the 16-second time
resolution data of {\em Standard 2} mode, because it allowed us to take into
account the influence of the background variation on the PDS, which
might be of importance at such frequencies.

\section{Results}

\subsection{Power density spectra}

The power density spectra for different observations are presented in
Fig.\ref{pds}.  The power law representing the Very Low
Frequency Noise (VLFN) component dominates the frequency band
$10^{-4}$ -- 1 Hz for all PDSs.  The high Frequency Noise component
for frequencies higher than 1 Hz can be approximated either by another
power law with an exponential cut-off at frequencies of 10--20 Hz or by
a wide Lorentzian.
The slope of the VLFN component was in the range $\alpha\sim-1.0-1.5$
and its fractional variability was from 1.5 to 4 percent in the
energy band 2--13 keV. The amplitude of the VLFN fractional variability
increases with energy (see Fig. \ref{energy_dep} for observation \#4)
while the slope of the power law remains constant.

In the observation of May 3, 1998, a significant ($>10\sigma$) QPO peak
was detected, agreeing with an earlier report by \cite{rudi}.
The central frequency of the QPO, which was obtained by fitting
a Lorentzian profile to the
power density spectrum averaged over the whole observation (2--13 keV
energy band) is equal to
$f=9.11\pm0.07$ Hz, with the width of the Lorentzian profile  $FWHM=5.4\pm0.2$
Hz. Its fractional variability amplitude in the frequency range
$\sim10^{-4}-64$ Hz was $4.7\pm0.1\%$. The amplitude of the QPO varies
with energy similar to the variation of the VLFN (Fig.\ref{energy_dep}).

It is remarkable that this observation was taken
when X-ray flux from the source was the highest among all PCA observations.
The X-ray light curve of XTE J1806-246 during its outburst of 1998
is presented in Fig.\ref{lc}. It is worth noting that the difference
in the X-ray flux detected in observations \#3 and \#4 is only $\sim$5\%,
but PDS are qualitatively different.

\caption{Variability amplitudes for VLFN and QPO as functions of
energy (observation \#4).

\end{figure}

\subsection{QPO parameters}

In the observation of May 3, 1998 we detected significant changes
in the QPO parameters: the central frequency, width and amplitude
of the fractional variability.  Fig. \ref{qpo} shows the variation of
QPO amplitude and frequency in comparison with
X-ray flux variation (all values were computed for the energy band 3--13 keV).

\begin{figure}

\caption{The time dependence of the QPO parameters (frequency and
amplitude) and total X-ray flux variability during the observation
\#4. Dashed lines mark time intervals with different QPO/flux levels
(see text).
\label{qpo}}
\end{figure}

Because both the X-ray flux from the source and QPO parameters have
demonstrated time variability, we tried to look for correlations
between them, which might be important for the overall understanding of
the QPO phenomenon.  One might note three distinctive time intervals
during the observation of May 3. The first corresponds to
``low'' flux (below 7100 cnts/s) and  ``strong''
QPO (rms higher than 5\%) with ``low'' frequency (below 10 Hz).
In the second interval the flux is ``medium'' (7100 -- 7400 cnts/s),
QPO is ``weak'' (rms $\la 5\%$) and still of ``low'' frequency.
During the third interval the flux is ``high'' ($\ga$ 7400 cnts/s),
QPO is ``strong'' and of a higher frequency (10-12 Hz).  While there is
no global correlation between these three intervals, we have found
some evidence for short-term correlations within each of them.
The results are presented in Fig.\ref{corr}.  Parameter variations were
calculated by subtraction of the mean value for each interval.
For flux-frequency dependence data for the first interval were separated from
later data.  In order to obtain flux-rms dependence the first two
intervals were analyzed together, and the third one - separately.
A flux-frequency correlation and  flux-rms anticorrelation are clearly
seen at short scales, but an influence of other, not related to QPO,
processes might be the reason why such correlations could not be
expanded for longer time intervals.  We would like to note that
the measurement of total X-ray flux and the determination of QPO parameters
was done by completely independent methods, so any correlation between them
must be not methodical, but physical.
We were concerned about a possible systematical cross-correlation
between QPO amplitude and QPO frequency values, both determined
in the same procedure, but our analysis has not revealed any
evidence of such a correlation.

short time intervals. On the left panel data for the second and third
intervals are marked by stars. On the right panel data for the third
interval are marked by stars.
\label{corr}}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Color-color diagram}

We used data in different energy channels to build a
color-color diagram (CCD), which allows one to follow
spectral changes of the source (\cite{zoo}).
The CCD for the data of the first 7 analyzed observations
is shown in Fig.\ref{ccd}.
For this CCD we used four energy bands in the PCA spectrum: 2.1--3.5 keV,
3.5--6.4 keV, 6.4--9.7 keV and 9.7--16.0 keV.

The overall shape of the points distribution reminds us of the diagrams for
some Z-sources, such as GX17+2 and Sco X-1 (see \cite{zoo}).
However, we did not find a clear correlation between QPO and
one of the branches on diagram.  Instead, we found that the QPO
region corresponds to a lower value of hard color regardless of
the value of soft color.

    observations. The points within
    the solid line polygon correspond to the time when the strong QPO was
    visible on the PDS spectra\label{ccd}}
    \end{figure}

\section{Discussion}

Quasi-periodical oscillations in power density spectra have been detected
from many sources of different natures (see \cite{klis95} for review and
references therein).  We discuss here a strong QPO in the PDS of
the X-ray source XTE J1806-246, which can be considered a typical
X-ray transient.  The nature of this source is
more or less clear because of the definite detection of the X-ray burst from
it (\cite{sax_iau}), so one can consider XTE J1806-246 a neutron
star with a low magnetic field. X-ray bursts are more typical for atoll
sources (see the classification in \cite{zoo}).
However, the shape of the color-color diagram, PDS dominated by VLFN and
HFN components and the fact that QPO was observed at the maximum X-ray
light curve of the source is strongly suggestive for
the classification of XTE J1806-246 as another Z-source, known
to be neutron stars, probably with a magnetic field stronger than that
of typical X-ray bursters, but weaker than that of pulsars (\cite{klis94}).
As mentioned by \cite{rudi} it would be then the first ever known
Z-transient.  Other reputed Z-sources are all persistent X-ray sources
(\cite{zoo}).

The origin of QPOs in Z-sources remains controversial. Some of models
proposed include the beat frequency model (\cite{alpar}), hot spots
in a boundary layer (\cite{hameury}), obscuration of the central X-ray
source by an accretion disk (\cite{stella}) etc. (for review see
\cite{lamb88}, \cite{klis95} and references therein).
The correlation between the X-ray flux and the QPO frequency
we found for short time scales could be an indication
that the frequency of QPO is linked with the typical radius
of the accretion disk in the system, which in turn correlated with
the luminosity of the source. An anticorrelation between the
source flux and the amplitude of fractional
variability associated with QPO demonstrates that short-term increases
of X-ray flux (microflares) might be caused by a mechanism, not
related with QPO.

The Very Low Frequency Noise was detected in all observations of XTE J1806-246
by PCA/RXTE, in all energy bands with the increasing amplitude
of fractional variability towards higher energies.
The striking similarity in the energy dependences of
QPO and VLFN amplitudes suggests that these components originate in
the same region of the binary system.  The energy spectrum of the source
is probably formed by hard highly variable component and soft constant
component, which explains the increase of QPO and VLFN amplitudes
with energy.

Jan 28 - Google's new styles and its deal with VSP, the largest optical health insurer in the U.S. paves the way to put the cutting edge wearable technology into the hands of millions. Bobbi Rebell reports.
Google Glass is getting a makeover for the masses. At least that is the hope with their new expanded styles and deal with VSP-the largest optical health insurance provider in the U.S. Consumers can get prescription lenses specifically fitted to the device. Mashable's Lance Ulanoff: SOUNDBITE: LANCE ULANOFF, CHIEF CORRESPONDENT, MASHABLE (ENGLISH) SAYING: "A lot of people have vision insurance with this company, so this is the kind of first broadening of the Google Glass program, and it has to potentially make it cooler with one caveat- I don't know if they are going to get cheaper yet, and unless they get cheaper, they are $1500 to start, and then there is the cost of the prescription lenses. A ton of people aren't going to go just marching in to get Google Glass, so that is the kind of hump they still have to get over." In fact even though VSP's website is already promoting the venture- buyers still have to be part of that Google Explorer program. But Google says prices will be lower when the consumer version goes on sale to the general public towards the end of this year. Google's website promoted four different frames, in styles including "Bold" and "Curve", available for $225 each, and a couple of different sunglass shades for $150 each. Google Glass has garnered a lot of attention- even making appearances on the fashion runway. The stamp size electronic screen mounted on the side of a pair of eyeglass frames can record video, access email, and connect to users' cell phones. Ulanoff says even if they are more broadly accessible- their use will still be limited at this time. SOUNDBITE: LANCE ULANOFF, CHIEF CORRESPONDENT, MASHABLE (ENGLISH) SAYING: "You are going to wear them when it's appropriate. Say you are going on an exciting trip and you want to give your friends a first person view of what it's like to climb up this mountain or to see Disney World for the first time through your eyes, that is what you can do with this. But like sunglasses there are going to be times when it's not appropriate to wear them. So even though you can get prescription glasses with these I imagine that you will still have another pair of prescription glasses that don't have Google Glass on them." He adds that concerns remain- including many about privacy and how the devices are used.


The Iroquois community of Kahnawake played a unique role in the Lower Canada Rebellions, part of the greater Rebellions of 1837.
Situated between the Montréal and Lachine British-Army headquarters and the Patriote-friendly Châteauguay River Valley, the Kahnawake Iroquois rapidly found a place in this context of civil war and revolutionary crisis.
On 4 November 1838, the Iroquois apprehended seventy-five armed Patriotes, led by many including François-Maurice Lepailleur, who had come to Kahnawake in a failed attempt to borrow arms and obtain Native support; the Iroquois had feared for their lives and, under the leadership of Antoine-George de Lorimier (the son of Claude-Nicolas-Guillaume de Lorimier) and others, they refused to give in to Patriote threats. After the Patriotes had quietly arrived near the old St-Jean Baptiste Chapel, they were met by ten Kahnawake men. Despite coming close to a shootout, the two sides settled on the use of diplomacy. The Iroquois invited the Patriotes into the center of the village with the false promise of arms and support for the Patriote cause. The trap worked, and the Kahnawake men proceeded to easily arrest and disarm the Châteauguay Patriotes, many of whom claimed had been forced to march on the Iroquois village.
From 11 to 16 November 1838, 200 Kahnawake men joined volunteers and soldiers to wage battle on Patriotes thought to be hidden in Châteauguay. Finding the place deserted, British soldiers and Iroquois warriors proceeded to pillage and plunder.
Kahnawake oral history accounts that a local unnamed woman searching the bushes for her lost cow saw the Patriotes and alerted the community. Although this account is often dismissed by non-Native historians, there are some sources that indicate that Kahnawake resident Marie Kawananoron did indeed see the Patriotes at the outskirts of the village. Although the subsequent events are more complex, including a trap set up by the Mohawks to lure the Patriotes into the village, the oral account does seem to have some documentary evidence to support it.
Investigators have traditionally failed to take on an insider's perspective of the Rebellions as they were lived and assessed by the Iroquois. Further, when attempts have been made to explore the underlying causes of Kahnawake's involvement, interpretive research has been quite limited. There has been a generalized tendency to view the Kahnawake Iroquois as a group of loyal Indians acting in defense of the British Crown.
On the contrary, the actions of the Kahnawake people were not necessarily grounded in an outright allegiance to the British Crown. Indeed, it is possible that a wide and complex mixture of socio-economic, political, and cultural factors shaped the behavior of the community, in general, and of specific Kahnawake people. Some of these factors are heavily detailed in the letters of, Joseph Marcoux, the secular priest residing in Kahnawake during the time of the Rebellions.
The documentary record does show that in the end, the will to defend land and identity, united the Kahnawake Iroquois and ultimately shaped their intervention. Factional disputes which enhanced individual interests among Kahnawake residents during the 1830s were temporarily dissolved. Based on recent research, it can therefore be concluded that the decision of the Kahnawake Iroquois to intervene in the Rebellions may have been prompted by a powerful desire to protect common interests as well as a strong community will to defend and express a collective identity.
