The ABC brings the good news that the drought is officially over, in the ACT at least (and there was much rejoicing).
Environment Minister Jon Stanhope said three of our four dams are now overflowing and as a result the Stage 2 water restrictions will be lifted.
However, he warns this doesn’t mean there is to be free-for-all water wastage and a return to the high consumption levels of the bad ole days.
“The centrepiece of the announcement today is that we are asking Canberrans to no longer, for instance, water lawns during the day ever,” he said.
What’s Your opinion?
ACT is drought-free
i think we have to step away from teh 4 seasons mentailtty that has lingered on from our european forebears.
the aboriginals in some areas have a concept of three seasons.
since i read about it, i see it as more apt for this area.
in a few hundred years maybe the cycle of arid and non-arid ( i dont like the term drought) will be nderstood, and planned for.
farmers and rural folk can maximise profits during non-arid periods (of several years) and perform maintenance or *gasp* go on a holiday when its arid.
i think population limits might be foreseen, but it would be better to establish new population growth areas, such as on wa coast between perth and the ord river region, where this population can grow.
do we need more dams in canberra ? i dont know, but some serious research outside adversarial politics and green softheadedness needs to be conducted.
Very perceptive Che. I was thinking the same thing.
hard to sell water if no-one is allowed to use it.
any bets that the folks at ACTEW bleeting on that they’re losing profits because people aren’t using as much water didn’t influence this announcement
ABC missed the thrust of the story. They’ve brought in a new, long-term scheme of water conservations measures. So we’ve gone from stage 2 restrictions to stage 1 conservation measures which, as I understand it, are permanent.
Scary stuff that Goulburn is still in that much trouble, and here we are less than 100km’s away lifting restriction… We should be planning for the future becasue I’m fuct if I’m going to pay more for water in ten years because Sonic the Hedgehog has sat idle after having his ass saved from having to spend up on ‘our water crisis’.
Did he really say that? Word for word? “for instance, water lawns during the day ever”
Dammit I actually VOTED for that man, can you believe it.
All that’s missing is an “ever EVER”.
To show how hit and miss the rain has been, Goulburn is still on Level 5 restrictions with less than 20% water capacity available for consumption, coming into summer…
Water restrictions are vital in this country.
In case you have’nt noticed it doesn’t rain alot. okay, we get these false spells of hope like now, but come mid january and everyone will be wondering when it will again rain.
Social Control? I don’t see it that way, I see it as the government encouraging people who have no intention of doing the right thing and behaving responsibly to comply for the greater good.
Water restrictions are just another crude attempt at social control. Get rid of them.
What? You mean, have fun at the government’s expence? In Canberra?
i think there should be a cracker night to celebrate!
I’d keep the restrictions, afterall, we get by on them.
And this is Australia so you never know if its going to rain again especially given the forecasts for a very hot and long summer.
Hooray for our brave leader for providing water from the heavens!
Am I the only one concerned that the restrictions will be lifted altogether? I’m fairly confident that most Canberrans will do the right thing, but I can see problems brewing down the track. Thoughts? |

Fortune Magazine recently asked Ridge Global CEO Tom Ridge, the nation’s first secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, to address the growing importance of public-private sector partnerships in keeping terrorists at bay.
Part of a special advertising section titled “Avoiding Code Red,” the article seeks to underscore the vital role of the private sector in securing America. The following is a brief excerpt:
At the end of the day, the relationship between DHS and the private sector is key,” says Ridge. “We have to build cooperative and amicable relationships with the private sector.”
This means convincing corporate leaders not to view security measures as only an expense but rather as an investment in their future. “There has to be a mindset in the C-suite and on the board of directors” similar to the embrace of quality manufacturing in the 1980s, says Ridge. “As you build your enterprise in a global and interdependent world, you have to build security and resiliency into the system.”
The entire piece is co-sponsored by the Homeland Security & Defense Business Council and can be found in the January issue of Fortune.

Adopting that orphan was meant to be a joke? A Bat-Zeppelin? This can only be Lego Batman!
One of the funniest parts of The Lego Movie was the over the top portrayal of Batman. Who can forget his inability to throw Batarangs or the fact he likes black and really, really dark grey!
In this new spin-off film, Batman must go on a personal journey and discover the importance of teamwork. Coming along with him are his seemingly unwanted sidekick, Robin, and the new police commissioner, Barbara Gordon.
The Lego Batman features an impressive cast with Rosario Dawson (Barbara Gordon), Ralph Fiennes (Alfred Pennyworth), Michael Cera (Robin) and Mariah Carey as the Mayor of Gotham. Will Arnett returns to voice Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego, the Batman.

Interview: Helen Glaberson
(Read the full transcript here)
HG: Les Misérables was the biggest project you've ever worked on, did you find this quite daunting?
PD: Well yes, when they first approached me for this movie I just got so scared by it because it was a massive task to do, but I think I quickly overcame that sort of feeling and changed it to some sort of respect for the story and the movie, because it was also a big challenge for me to design something like this its amazing that happened, but scary.
HG: How do you feel your approach to designing costumes changes from period films to modern day films?
PD: Well, Im a big, big defender of modern day films, I think theyre amazingly difficult. People dont realise about that. When youre working in period, you have a much more artistic licenses, you can work with colour, you can use shape, you can cheat, you know that it was like this, but if it doesnt accommodate you, you can do slight changes. In contemporary we all know how we dress. We all know how your granny will dress, we know how a person who lives in Shoreditch normally dresses nowadays and that definition is really really subtle, then if you want to create a character and you want to see that character reflected in the costumes, the whole character making is much more subtle in contemporary than in period, and unfortunately, no one sees that. Everyone thinks contemporarys very easy, we just go shopping shop until you drop and thats it and its not, I love both.
HG: So you dont have a favourite?
PD: I like to do both things, obviously I love period, because with period you can develop a much more artistic side. When you work in contemporary, you have to be much more sort of clever I think. You have to force your mind in a different way. When you do contemporary you are more rational, and when you work in period you are much more artistic. I love both sides of it. I wouldnt like to do constantly period or constantly contemporary, Im very fortunate because I do both. I love modern costumes as well I think theyre great, I love fashion.
HG: How do the costumes differ from on stage than they do in a film?
PD: One of the most important things is we try to be very respectful to the musical on the stage, but at the same time we wanted to have a different sort of angle. I would say, obviously the musicals much more theatrical and its much more stark, they work with very few elements, in every sense you have a revolving set, and that works, changing in all sorts of different ways, and I think the costumes are much more theatrical in a way. The two are such different languages in the theatre you have to see the costumes from a long, long distance and you have to work in a sort of much more on the impression, maybe with the silhouettes, whereas in film, you have the opportunity to work in detail as you have a different everything is magnified by ten or twelve and you can do a lot on tailor handmade things that Id never do for theatre because they get lost and nobody will see it its a waste of time and money, whereas in cinema its much more crafty I think. Its really funny because, I think theatre is very crafty, but when it comes to costumes, I don't know why, Ive found its much more subtle, crafty, you can use embroidery its a different approach to costumes. But I love both as well, as I say, Im very fortunate because I do theatre as well and I love it, as well.
HG: Who was the most challenging character to design for?
PD: Everyone had certain interests in a different way. For example, Jean Valjean, who was Hugh Jackman, was very interesting because he is the leading role and he is the only character that goes from the beginning of the movie until the end of the movie and he goes through the journey in a social scale and no one in the movie repeats it, and that was very interesting to reflect all of those changes in terms of colour and texture and everything.
The women were very interesting, obviously because womens clothes are always much more interesting in terms of designing them; much more detail, much more colour, more embroidery, more things like that. But fun, really fun was to design the Thénardiers, because they were a sort of comic relief pair and we really wanted their costumes to reflect this funny side enjoy your life, and that was a lot of fun.

The Opening Ceremony of the National Infrastructures for the Technology Development was held at Optical Systems Research Laboratory (OPMER) in Ankara and honored by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Minister of Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank on 31 October 2018. The opening ceremony hosted The Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar together with the President of Defense Industries Prof. Dr. Ismail Demir, Commander of Turkish Armed Forces General Yasar Guler, and many high ranking guests from government and private sectors.
Speaking at the ceremony, President Erdogan emphasized that “Turkey is rapidly advancing in defense, aeronautical and space technologies to become a powerful country and showed significant progress especially in high-resolution satellite imaging, communication satellites, satellite launch systems, satellite data processing, data storage and sub-systems”. Erdogan said he always reminded that Turkey must design, produce and launch more advanced satellites after commissioning those ongoing satellite projects. He continued “One of our goals in this context was the production of satellite cameras and large-scale mirrors in our country. With this purpose, OPMER was founded as part of TUBITAK Space Technologies Research Institute”.
Erdogan stated that the design, integration, and testing of the camera used in the IMECE Satellite Project was made by TUBITAK and said: “Precision optical components such as mirror, lens, prism, and filters used in this camera were supplied from abroad. These critical technology products were both costly and subject to export restriction. Thanks to the OPMER Project, we now have the opportunity to develop precision optical components with our own national capabilities. In this way, we now ensure that the knowledge of critical designs and high amounts of money paid remains within our country. The activities at OPMER Laboratories are not limited to the production of optical components only, but also we will carry out the design, measurement, integration, and testing activities of those products”.
Erdogan expressed “OPMER, as one of a few similar infrastructures in the world, consists of a total of 16 laboratories. In addition to the satellite cameras, this facility will enable the production of large-scale mirrors used in telescopes and other precision optics, which could otherwise be difficult to supply from abroad”. He also added that OPMER being the first establishment of its kind in Turkey and among a few laboratories in the world to perform R&D activities on these areas above”.
The opening ceremony was followed by the laboratory visits by the President Erdogan and the ministers. The visits included a tour to the manufacturing, metrology, and integration laboratories. During the tour, President Erdogan has been closely involved with the work done at OPMER.
The first mirror prototype manufactured at OPMER was presented as a gift to Presidency of the Republic of Turkey. |

The Exchange
Toni Rinde interview by Dr. Carolyn Ellis
TR: In the beginning, when they were first put into the ghetto, they were still given the opportunity to go out during the day and go to work and come back at night for—you know, to sleep. And then, after a while, that changed. But while they were able to go out, my parents were walking in the street one day pushing a carriage, and a lady comes up to my father and says, “What are you going to do with this beautiful child, taking—bringing her to the ghetto?” And my father looked at her and—it’s tough.
CE: I know. This is hard stuff.
TR: And said, “Well, I have nothing to do with her. Will you help me?” And she said, “Yes, I’ll take her.” Arrangements were made to meet the next day on a street corner, certain time. They were going to bring the carriage, put the carriage down on the street corner, turn around and walk away, and she was going to take it. That’s exactly what happened, because my parents watched while this was going on, to make sure that she indeed took me. And that was the beginning of my life. |

Writer's block, an owner's guide: It’s not all block (again)
A pause in writing isn’t writer’s block. You are allowed to go to the bathroom. You are allowed to go to a movie. You are allowed to go away for the weekend. You are allowed to stumble through bereavement. You are allowed to be chronically ill.
People talk about writer’s block as though all of that was not obvious. Here’s one. An anonymous writer reports that novelist Tom Sharpe moved to Spain and “found the place where he could break a 20-year writer’s block”. Read down a little and you find that, on the contrary, “Sharpe did not publish a book for 20 years principally because of a series of health problems.” Which of these is the truth? Your guess is as good as mine. But I think it would be good to know.
And most of all you are allowed to think and plan and edit: you are allowed to pause and let the ideas come by themselves: these things are what writers do. If you were just scribbling what came easily perhaps you wouldn’t be the writer you like being.

Writer's block, an owner's guide: Master and Commander, again
Now here’s a coincidence, even a synchronicity. Just yesterday I was telling you about Patrick O’Brian, in a long aside to what I was really trying to say about whether authors can just omit troublesome scenes. It was so long and so half-relevant that I actually wondered if I should just omit it.
And today, in a quiet moment between clients, I came across this thought, which I’m quite sure is O’Brian’s own, in the mouths of two of his regular characters: “Are endings really so very important? Sterne did quite well without one; and often an unfinished picture is all the more interesting for the bare canvas… The conventional ending, with virtue rewarded and losses ends tied up is often sadly chilling; and its platitude and falsity tend to infect what has gone before, however excellent. Many books would be far better without their last chapter: or at least with no more than a brief, cool, unemotional statement of the outcome.”
When we’re having trouble with a scene and we’re tempted to label that as the work of the imaginary demon Wr*t*r’s Bl*ck, another possibility is that the scene does not belong in the work at all.

Writer's block, an owner's guide: Good days and wrenching days
Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Cunningham says this about writer’s block: “When I was younger, I became obsessed with trying to chart my good days and my bad. Was it related to sleep, diet, sex? I tried all kinds of variations, with the grim purpose of youth. Celibacy the day before a writing day? I’ll give it a try. What about sugar, caffeine, alcohol? More, or less, of each, and in what quantities? Many trials were conducted.”
The results of his trials, and much else on the subject, over here at npr.org.
But what I find even more interesting than that is when he says “Here’s the funny thing — a month or so later, I can’t tell what I wrote on the ecstatic days from what I wrote on the wrenching ones. The lines that seemed so good when I wrote them turn out, later on, to be neither better nor worse.” That’s encouraging, isn’t it, on a bad day?
And discouraging on a bad one, I suppose, but let’s not go there.
For it’s the end of November and I’ve completed my month of research data collection! and now I have to analyze it all. Looks like a simple job this year, but who knows where studying the numbers may take me. I promise to let you know.

Writer's block, an owner's guide: Sometimes a pause is just a preparation
In The Good 5c Cigar (would I make this stuff up? -click it and see) Patricia Spears Jones says “don’t call it writer’s block. Call it life.”
Exactly.
Writers need time away from the page, time to let ideas come, time to let things develop. Other creators show that much respect for their work: why not authors? If your “friends” think you are idling, let them (or do something else at the same time).
And if we really knew this, we would not believe in block, and then we would stop worrying about it, and then we would write.

Writer's block, an owner's guide: Nip/Tuck
Here, on the web site of The Writers’ Guild (no, not WGA, but The Writers’ Guild, the one I belong to), is the writer-director of Nip/Tuck talking: “Because I used to be a journalist, I was never allowed the benefit of writer’s block. I’d have to write three stories a day, so that’s never been a problem.”
I’ve heard this before from journalists. I married one, so I hear it quite a lot. And the first of my nine billion writer’s block research projects was with a radio journalist.
What can we learn from Ryan Murphy? Well: think about the power a deadline has to make you get work done. You know that you always do what you have to do.
But it has to be a real deadline. Not “I’ve decided to do this tonight.” Not “I need this for a good grade on a class I don’t care about in the first place.” No, a real deadline. Like a contract penalty, or being seen in front of the tv camera with no news, or having to report in with your coach.

Writer's block, an owner's guide: Quote: Robert B Parker
Bloomberg: You once said that you wonder why plumbers never come down with plumber’s block. Are writers just like any other manual laborers?
Robert B Parker: No, they’re not. But I am impatient with people who talk about how they sweat blood when they’re trying to write a paragraph. Elmore Leonard says that writer’s block is another word for lazy. And I have never had writer’s block. Now, you know, other people do. So, get over it, push through it. It’s a pretty good job.

Writer's block, an owner's guide: Quote: Joni Mitchell
This sang to me from today’s LA Times [I’ve removed the link because it’s expired - DJM]. Joni Mitchell on not having written since her reunion with the daughter she used to sing about: Mitchell sees no need to put herself on display for a public that only wants to hear the greatest hits over and over.
“Miles [Davis] was like that at the end. He wasn’t trying to be rude on stage when he would wait for an hour and a half to find someone who inspired him to play two notes. His golden age and his period of exploration was behind him. I just don’t want to do it anymore.” In the end, her personal contentment and her silence seem to be interlocked.
I’m not suggesting you should retire from writing, although goodness knows that is one thing you’re free to do when working seems too much like work. Accepting peace into your life might be better than years of depressing yourself. No; I’m suggesting, again, once again, one more time, that silence is not failure. Just as sleep is essential to wakefulness, so diversion and mulling can be helpful to productivity.
No, I’m not back, I’m still on the break I said I was taking yesterday, I guess I didn’t write this.

We've covered quite a few Bluetooth speakers here at AP over the last year or so – but we've never seen one quite like the BlackDiamond3 from Acase ($100, Amazon). Simply put, the BlackDiamond3 (known from here forward as the BD3) adds a pleasing visual element to your tunes by way of embedded LED lighting and multiple "diamond edges" that refract the over 16,000 colors to create a beautiful and ambient light show. In other words, it's really freakin' pretty.
As pretty as it is, though, it's not perfect. But that's OK, you may still want it anyway.
The Good
- It's pretty. Not sure how many times I'll actually say it in this review, but this thing is gorgeous. The visual element the LEDs add is fantastic.
- It has a remote! Another great feature for a Bluetooth speaker – change volume and tracks on the fly, alternate colors, or turn the speaker off altogether. All without getting up from your chair, bed, floor... wherever.
The Bad
- No Battery Power. Yep, you read that right – this one's tethered to the wall all the time. Explains the need for a remote, eh?
- Needs more low end. It doesn't matter what type of music you listen to, no one likes a speaker that's chock-full of treble and mids. While the BD3 is crystal clear, it's definitely lacking in the low-end, and that's disappointing.
Those are the basics covered in a nutshell. Now, please allow me to throw bullet lists to the side and ramble about this for a bit.
The top half of the BD3 is all about the show – that's where you'll find the LEDs and diamond-cut plastic shell. The unit is capable of producing 16,000 different colors, with different modes to show them all off. For example, you can set it cycle through multiple colors one at a time, and it will seamlessly transition between them. It's very relaxing to watch reds turn to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple to pink and so on. If you're more of a one color kind of person, though, you can "pause" it on any given color and it won't change until you "unpause" it. On the other hand, you can choose to have all the colors flow across the unit at once – they will merge in and out of each other and all around the upper half of the sphere. Lastly, you can choose to have the colors "bounce" and change with the tempo of the music in an almost strobe-like effect. Personally, that is my least favorite of the three, but I'm sure someone out there can appreciate it. Since text isn't enough to really demonstrate how good the BD3 actually looks, I made a video! Watch it here:
The bottom half of the sphere is all about work – this is where you'll find the speakers and the "bass resonant tube," along with a slot just for the remote. On either side you'll find the 3 watt speakers, and the bass tube is directly above the remote bay. Below that is the miniUSB port which is used to power the device. The bottom is coated in a non-slip rubber, so you can feel secure in tossing this badboy on a shelf without fear of it vibrating or shimmying off.
While the BD3 is designed specifically for Bluetooth connectivity, the included miniUSB cable has a bundled 3.5mm audio jack that allows it to be used with non-Bluetooth devices, further increasing its utility.
We've already gathered that it looks pretty – but how's the sound? Unfortunately, it looks a lot better than it sounds, which is disappointing. The tiny 3 watt drivers do their part in pushing out clean, undistorted tunes, but the unit overall is drastically lacking in low-end. Let's face it – little speakers like these just aren't made for pushing extreme amounts of bass, and the "bass resonant tube" just doesn't cut it. With that said, it's still very listen-able, especially if you don't necessarily enjoy genres of music that heavily rely on bass as a primary focal point.
Ultimately, the BD3 is more about looks than functionality, and in this case that's not necessarily a bad thing. It makes for great ambient lighting (especially in a dark room), and with the right mood music could create a nice relaxing environment. The included remote is a nice bonus, as it not only lets you control the lighting sequence of the device itself, but the volume and tracks of the playing music as well.
On the downside, the unit has to be tethered to a wall outlet (or USB port) at all times, which is kind of a downer if you want a speaker with pretty lights anywhere outside of the house (this thing could be pretty awesome on a camping trip). If that doesn't bother you, though, I think it's easily worth the $100 asking price. |

Well, it was bound to happen. I’ve attended Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights for years now, and have always been astounded at the way they continually push themselves, evolving year in and year out into the biggest, scariest, and simply put, best Halloween event there is. Yet this year, something was off. It wasn’t that the event was bad. Far from it. It just wasn’t blow-your-mind amazing.
Watch highlights from the mazes:
There were a lot of factors that played a part in the underwhelming feeling of the whole thing. The most glaringly obvious change was the absence of the Bill and Ted show. A long-time staple of Halloween Horror Nights, Bill and Ted have such a direct correlation with the event, it just felt wrong to not have them there. I’m sure there’s a great reason for their absence, but whatever it was, I definitely hope it’s resolved by next year.
As for the mazes, there’s good news and bad news. As always, most of the mazes directly tie into a pre-existing intellectual property. This usually isn’t an issue, as the mazes use these shows/films as a springboard to place the participants into the middle of the stories, enabling us to become active participants and feel the terror of what it would be like to experience the movie or show firsthand. The mazes were as technically proficient as ever, but the majority of the new mazes failed at bringing the participants into the story.
For example, the new maze Dracula Untold: Reign of Blood, based on the upcoming film, did nothing to introduce us to the world of the movie. The vampires almost all looked the same, the set designs were redundant, and it was impossible to follow any narrative as to what was happening. The maze inspired by the El Rey Network tv series From Dusk Till Dawn had the same problem. Once you find yourself in the infamous strip club of the franchise, “The Twister,” nothing much happens beyond variations of the same dancing girl jumping out again and again. It’s hard to be scared when the same thing is happening from one room to the next.
The flip side of all this is the new maze inspired by AVP: Alien vs. Predator. A definite highlight of the event, this maze is the only new location to truly capture the excitement and terror of the movies on which it’s based. I don’t want to spoil anything, but as you go through this maze, you find yourself trapped in the middle of an epic battle between these two horror franchise titans. There are a variety of locations, clever scare effects, some amazing set and creature design, and probably the best finale of any maze I’ve seen in years. Mazes like this are the reason I come back to these events year after year. Whatever reservations I have about the other mazes is more than made up for by the genius on display in this one.
Every year, Universal introduces at least one fantastic new maze, and usually more. Unfortunately, a maze that started out amazing can start to feel old when not updated. For example, “Terror Tram: Invaded by the Walking Dead,” could really use an upgrade. I absolutely love the Walking Dead, but it’s time for them to find a new twist on the Terror Tram. If you’ve never been before, it’s a fantastic experience where you get to walk through the back lot, including the infamous War of the Worlds set, all while being attacked by zombies. However, with slight variations, it’s been the same exact event for a while now, and is in definite need of an upgrade. It especially feels redundant considering there is an actual Walking Dead maze, independent of this, that is only a slight variation on the Walking Dead maze from last year.
Other mazes include a walk through inspired by the classic film “An American Werewolf in London.” I really enjoyed this maze, and while nowhere near the level of AvP, it was obvious that a great deal of work went into capturing the atmosphere and dread of the original film. The problem with this maze is, again, repetition. There is fantastic creature design, but it doesn’t feel like there’s any evolution of the creatures. Once you see the first werewolf, there’s nowhere really left to go. I have to hand it to the performers in this maze as well. They really sell the individual moments, and enhanced the overall experience.
Speaking of repetition, “Clowns 3D” with original music by Slash, contained one of the longest stretches of repetition from any of the mazes. I have to give credit for the design of the 3D in this maze, as it is incredibly disorienting to walk through a physical environment with 3D elements poping out at you. However, long stretches of the maze are essentially going from identical room to identical room with little to no variation. The clowns are creative, and as the maze progresses, there are different set pieces, but it really takes a while to get going. However, Slash’s music is amazing, and if you are a fan of his, this is a must-do experience.
Finally, the last maze is “Face Off: In the Flesh.” Based on SyFy’s hit TV show, this maze incorporates various designs from the contestants and places them strategically throughout different themed areas of the maze. There’s really no cohesion to this maze at all, going from insect creatures, to scarecrows, to an Alice In Wonderland themed rave, and on and on. I actually enjoyed the disjointed experience of the whole thing, and found the designs to be as spectacular as you’d expect. It’s not scary, by any means, but this maze was entertaining in a way other mazes aren’t able to be, and for that reason, it’s a maze worth checking out.
One aspect of this event that doesn’t get enough credit is the design of the “Scare Zones.” These are small little stretches of the park with different themes, filled with fog, and roamed by terrifying creatures with the entire purpose of scaring you on an individual level. This year, there are zones based on The Purge: Anarchy, which is worth experience for the fire effects alone, The Walking Dead, which is exactly what you would expect, Mask-a-Raid, which is a very clever area filled with cannibalistic aristocrats, Dark Christmas, my favorite scare zone of them all featuring a hellish Christmas nightmare, and Skullz, based on the Native American legend of Wendigo.
Of course, if you find yourself in need of a break from all the terror, the rides are all open as well. This includes the new Minion ride, Jurassic Park (in the dark), The Mummy, and Transformers: The Ride-3D, and more.
I’ve always held this event to incredibly high standards, and while there were moments of greatness, this year just didn’t stand out as strong as most. That’s not to say that I didn’t have a great time. There’s still an incredible atmosphere that Universal creates, and the artistry that goes into creating an event such as this is overwhelming. It’s an incredible experience, and well worth checking out.
Beginning nightly at 7:00, remaining dates include September 26, 27, October 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, and November 1, and 2. Tickets can be purchased at. Be advised that this event will sell out, so advance tickets are recommended.

In the valley of the wolf where the fields lie fallow
and the rooster’s crow is the sun’s preamble
Beyond the reach of the sacred rock’s winged shadow, almost equidistant between the towns of Waterflow and Rattlesnake, sits Shiprock, New Mexico. Home of the Chieftains. Half an hour from the Four Corners Monument, where New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Colorado intersect like crosshairs on the American Southwest. The sacred rock, Tsé Bitʼaʼí (or Ship Rock, called thus because of its scalene resemblance to a 19th-century clipper ship), is a high-desert monadnock standing at 1,583 feet. This rock is ancient and sacred to the Navajo people, and juts from the desert floor like a volcanic cathedral. It is clearly visible from artist Francisco Bailon’s front yard.
“You can see it from my backyard, too,” he says.
Francisco grew up in Santo Domingo Pueblo, about 200 miles southeast of Shiprock, as the crow flies. “Since the Spanish [conquistadors] came in the 1600s and named our tribe, we recently reclaimed our original tribe name, Kewa. So it’s known as Kewa [Pueblo] now.”
His wife, Fannie, interjects: “The location of his village is right between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. And his people are about five to ten thousand. Very small.”
English is neither Francisco nor Fannie’s first language—Francisco’s is Keres, which, being a language isolate, has no discernable relationship to other languages, even those among its six neighboring pueblos. Fannie’s native language is Navajo.
“I advertised for a job,” she says. “This was back in the late ’70s. And, holy moly, this handsome man walks in and I hired him, and the rest is history.” She laughs. “I was his supervisor in the emergency room. He was an ER tech, an ambulance driver.”
Physically, Francisco Bailon is surrounded by a landscape both majestic and devoid—igneous rock, sand, cheatgrass brittle as old bone, arroyo, floodplain, Arches National Park to the northwest with its sunbaked spires like a key’s staggered teeth. Metaphysically, however, the true artist occupies that liminal space between inspiration and compulsion; like the rooster who’s compelled to crow, it’s in his blood. And crowing is, in fact, the rooster’s birdsong, his art.
“I learned at home,” he says, “making jewelry. I was quite young, and I saw my great-grandfathers doing handmade jewelry; we had an abundant supply of all that raw material. Since it was our only income, I helped my parents do jewelry. And then, in the summertime, we did farming. And hauling wood for the house, because we didn’t have no electricity or gas stoves. We had to burn wood. Our trade was shells and turquoise.
“Then, after 25 years of service [as a journeyman machinist with the Los Alamos National Laboratory], I tried to return to making jewelry, but I found that the raw materials were outsourced overseas. So we couldn’t get them anymore.” The demand for turquoise used in “Native-style” accessories produced by non-Native people is another discussion altogether, and a thorny one (see, e.g., the turquoise cuff bracelets under tempered glass at Neiman Marcus, which go for about $80,000 apiece). Suffice to say that examples of this misrepresentation can volley between cultural appropriation and downright colonization (not to mention illegal, depending on the degree of mimicry, under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act (Act) of 1990 (P.L. 101-644)).
“So,” Francisco says, “I just detoured and started doing fashion beadwork.”
Francisco Bailon, then, is just a regular guy—hauling wood, repairing his home’s plumbing, which “went out over Christmas”—but a regular guy with brilliance running through him like vein copper through stone.
“I started my business, Anasazi Jeweler, in the fall of 2016,” he says. “And I started making earrings, bracelets, necklaces and hatbands on the loom and peyote stitch. I prefer size 13 cut beads. They’re expensive and in limited supply. But the most rare are size 15s, which are 1.7mm, or 54 thousandths of an inch. I designed Jacques’s glasses with size 15s.”
Francisco refers here to the Last Frontier, a special limited-edition collection in collaboration with luxury eyewear designer Jacques Marie Mage. Like the items provided by Anasazi Jeweler—dazzlingly intricate and one-of-a-kind pieces with names like Morning Prism, Twin Rivers and Santa Fe—the Last Frontier collection “seeks to achieve new heights of craftsmanship and artistry.” In other words, every frame, with exquisite details like sterling silver thunderbirds, real Kingman turquoise inlays and Francisco’s signature beadwork, is more than a collector’s item; it’s an heirloom, crafted with surgical precision.
“My beadwork does the speaking for me,” he says, bent to his meditative toil. “As my great-grandfather used to say, ‘Think in harmony, speak in harmony, and therefore walk in harmony. Your endeavors will be blessed to have abundant life.’”

Tiger Woods may currently be out of action on the PGA Tour as he continues to recover from a fifth back surgery, but he was spotted in attendance at Super Bowl LV last night as he watched his good friend Tom Brady win a record seventh NFL title.
Washington Football Team's Jonathan Allen posted a picture of himself with Woods at the game on social media last night. "Never know who you’ll see at the Super Bowl," tweeted Allen.
Never know who you’ll see at the Super Bowl! pic.twitter.com/Yvx1XYejNA— Jonathan Allen (@jonallen93_) February 7, 2021
Judging by a number of comments on social media, some followers were quick to point out Woods' interesting attire at the Super Bowl, while others were more concerned about a lack of face masks in sight.
Woods, a Las Vegas Raiders supporter, will have no doubt been happy with the Super Bowl result as he watched his good chum Brady clinch a seventh NFL title following Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 31-9 demolition of pre-season favourites and defending champions Kansas City Chiefs.
Brady and Woods competed against each other in 'The Match' last year, with $20 million being raised for coronavirus relief efforts.
Remember the famous driver Tiger Woods used at the 1997 Masters? We've thrown it up against Cobra's new RADSPEED driver to see just how different they really are? WATCH our latest video below:
Woods recently underwent a microdiscectomy to remove a pressurised disc fragment that had been giving him nerve pain while competing with his son Charlie Woods at the PNC Championship at the end of 2020.
"I look forward to begin training and am focused on getting back out on Tour," said Woods, who is said to be recovering well from surgery.
According to Rory McIlroy, Woods had the back operation on December 23 just days after that father and son tournament, but that he was back on his feet a day later.
McIlroy believes Woods should be more than ready to compete for his 16th career major title at The Masters in early April.
"Obviously he won’t be playing for the next couple of months," said McIlroy. "But he should be back for The Masters, if not before that. I think he’ll be just fine." |

For fast proliferating cells plate 10e4 cells/well on 96 well plate (increase cell density up 10e6/weel if they are slow proliferating). Use your different conditions. After 48-72 hr add 1 uCi in 10 ul/well tritiated-thymidine (Amersham) for another 12-18 hr. Stop cell growth by freezing the plate at -20oC. (Plate could be stored at this conditions for a while). Harvesting DNA. The numbers of automated or manual harvesters might be used (depends of what available). In theory, the cells first washed off the plate into glass fiber filters in PBS or wather. Then they are desintegrated by washing with 5% TCA, so the only DNA remains on filter while proteins and lypides are washed away. Subsequently filters additionaly washed with 70% EtOH. The filters should be carefully dried (o/n under the hood or 1-2 hr at 98oC). Counting. Again everything depends of what type of equipment is available. It could be either direct or liquid scintillation beta counting (refer instructions supplied with equipment). If direct counting, the dried filters placed directly under the stream of particulary formulated gas and sensor meassures the radioactivity (Packard sells such direct counters together with harvester and special handels, counts 96 poins simultaneously) or place the filter in tube supplied with counter, fill the tube with appropriet coctail and count it.

The Texans have had one of the best offensive lines in the league over the past few years, thanks to their scheme and their continuity as much as to their talent. However, the Texans lost that continuity this offseason when they lost two starters, Mike Brisiel and Eric Winston, in free agency. At right guard, 3rd round rookie Brandon Brooks is competing with career backup Antoine Caldwell, a 3rd round pick in 2009.
Meanwhile at right tackle, Rashad Butler, a career backup, has the inside track at the starting job, but according to Head Coach Gary Kubiak, 2011 7th round pick Derek Newton is performing well enough to “compete for a starting job.” Kubiak did acknowledge that “we’re in shorts, so it’s hard to tell with big guys,” but it sounds like there will be a competition for that job as well. |
Regina's newest millionaire Mae Mock, who won $1 million on the July 29, 2017 Lotto 6/49 draw.
Mae Mock is amazed she’s now a millionaire.
The Regina woman bought a $10 quick pick ticket on the day of Saturday’s LOTTO 6/49 draw from the Saskatchewan Lotteries kiosk at the Southland Mall. She returned to the same kiosk on Sunday and asked the clerk to check the ticket for her.
“You never really think you’re going to win big,” she said in a news release from Saskatchewan Lotteries. “I have time to think about it.”
She hasn’t made any plans for her windfall and has socked it into a savings account for now.
Mock is the seventh lottery millionaire in Saskatchewan so far in 2017, and the first of the year in Regina.
In 2016, eight lottery prizes of a million dollars or more were won by Saskatchewan residents, including two. |

After a thorough analysis of the typical Londoner, I have discovered that they all gather in places of worship called a ‘pub’ where they share a ‘pint’ and get piss-drunk.
Whilst trying to be British by singing “God save the Queen,” and declaring fish and chips to be the best meal ever, I thought partaking in the British tradition of heading to be pub would be more patriotic (and less weird!)
Here are my three favorite pubs in Islington:
The Blacksmith & Toffeemaker
Right next to City University, The Blacksmith & Toffeemaker was the first pub I visited. It is often cramped after classes as droves of students desperately try to forget what they had just learned only hours prior.
- Price of a pint of Guinness: £4.50
- Variety: Half a dozen tap beers and ales
- Service: Friendly staff
- Vibe: Cozy enough, a good place to hang out with friends and grab a quick pint
- Address: 292-294 St John St, London EC1V 4PA
Wetherspoons Angel
Opposite the Angel tube station, the Wetherspoon pub is almost always crawling with customers looking to grab a pint on their way home. While it isn’t as cosy as the stereotypical local boozer, there is a good atmosphere and they boast an impressive collection of beers and ales for you to choose from. And at their prices, you won’t know the difference after your 3rd drink.
- Price of a pint of Guinness: £3.49
- Variety: Around 30 different kinds of beers and ales
- Service: Basic service
- Vibe: commercial
- Address: 3-5 Islington High St, London N1 9LQ
The Alma Pub Islington
The Alma pub is not on my regular path home, but after reading about it in Time Out magazine, I thought I could take a small (very large) detour and see what all the fuss was about. Turns out it has friendly staff, eye-catching decor, and numerous events they organize every week, making it worth the detour. However, hearing your own voice is nigh on impossible during quiz night.
- Price of a pint of Guinness: £4.30
- Variety: More than 10 different kinds of beers and ales
- Service: Friendly staff, though a bit slow
- Vibe: If you don’t have a good time, something went terribly wrong
- Address: 59 Newington Green Rd, London N1 4QU
And after all that drinking, only a British fry up could sort out my hangover! |
A little Ghanaian girl gets home from school and rushes through her homework so she can watch TV. While her classmates are hooked on Tom and Jerry, or Phineas and Ferb, or some other cartoon which the world has clearly, repeatedly and accurately labelled as ‘fiction’, the aforementioned girl takes the DSTv remote and switches to E!.
After all, why should the random escapades of creatures who don’t really exist interest her, when there are actual people whose actual lives are filmed for the public to see? This is reality. That’s why they are called ‘reality shows’, isn’t it?
“Welcome to your favourite show, **fill in the blank** with your host **fill in the blank** where we tell you which celebrities are binge-spending their cash on random thousand-of-dollars-worth junk like **fill in the blank**.”
One cannot help but cast one’s mind back to the many times one has foregone a Christmas present from one’s parents, because the options were to keep the family fed or to spend money on an object one would use for a month and get bored of. No binge-spending in this family, for sure.
Next, tune in to “Rich Kids of **fill in the blank**, where ten-year-olds complain, “My Dad got me the iPad **fill in the model** plus the iPod **fill in the model** plus two-thousand dollars for the month…but the iPad had 64GB memory, instead of 128GB…I hate him. He never listens to me.”
Aforementioned little girl continues to stare at her LED TV screen, knowing that she is by no means poor, but this gift is a bit…much. She begins to notice that these kids are unrealistically bratty, and doubts the credibility of these ‘reality’ shows.
Mother comes home, and requests, “Come and wash the dishes, eh?”
Girl replies, “Mummy, Kylie Jenner is a teenager, and even she doesn’t wash dishes.”
Cue two sharp slaps across the face.
She washes the damn dishes.
Next day, repeat the homework-to-TV routine. This time, she wonders, “How are these shows benefiting my life?” She is unable to come up with a logical answer. She tries again, “What reason do I have to care about the affairs of these airhead celebrities who I am never going to meet?” No answer presents itself.
She switches from E! and proceeds to watch Phineas and Ferb, which actually makes her laugh, and before you know it, she’s coming up with crazy ideas of her own.
Years later, this girl is a famous cartoonist, whose show has been running successfully for three seasons. Reminiscing, she says to herself, “Aren’t you glad you didn’t rise to fame through a sex tape?”

We all know that crawling out of bed at the crack of dawn can be extremely difficult, especially if you spend most of your days logging in full-time hours at work. The thought of repeating that process for as many as five or six days out of the week can take a stressful toll on both the mind and body. We set our alarm clocks with good faith that we’ll be able to drag ourselves up, but often times that dream we were having about Jessica Alba was so engrossing that we grasp our pillows with desperation for a return to the world of unconsciousness.
But as comfortable as your fancy duvet may be, if you want to keep a roof over your head and keep your car from being repossessed, you might want to work on some ways to stay upbeat during those bright, tired mornings. Here are just a few methods for you to consider the night before that will aid you in your desire for a productive morning free of dreams, pillows, and unfortunately, Jessica Alba.
#1) Cold Shower
Nothing gets the blood pumping like a nice freezing shower. You may be tentative and will find it extremely unpleasant at first, but the entire purpose is to stimulate the “shock therapy” act that will leave you at full alert mode. When your core temperature is at a consistent level and gets presented with outside stimuli that threatens to reduce that temperature, your body will go into a defense mode and every single muscle in your body will contract—or recoil to the outside influence.
This will put you in something similar to a fight or flight mode and will have you at full alert. Granted, this method is a little extreme, but if you live an extreme lifestyle this method will suit you quite nicely.
#2) Coffee
Now, I’m not advocating drug use (coffee is considered a drug) but if used in moderation for its intended purpose then you may see an increase in your ability to withstand the harsh morning hours than you ever have before. Of course, it’s no secret that coffee can be effective when aiding you in getting through your morning routine, as most Americans are coffee drinkers.
But if you’re having problems waking up and find yourself in the 1% then the smell of fresh folders might keep you static.
#3) Multiple Alarm Clocks
Why use one alarm clock when you can use two? Hell, why not go ahead and use three or four. You may be thinking—whats the point in having two alarm clocks? But any person who has ineffectively tried to use the alarm clock method knows that it typically serves as nothing more than a minor nuisance in the morning rather than a tool you can use to wake up.
Like in the movies, most people just roll over from their comfortable supine position and tap the button without a second thought. I was this person, until I decided to stock up on alarms, setting them literally one minute after another. Good candidates include the television, to which you can program to turn on at your favorite channel at any designated time; your cellular phone, to which you can program the most obnoxious ring tone; and your microwave (depending on if it has that feature)
With all these tools performing a technological orchestra, it will be extremely hard for you to withstand the blaring.
#4) Have Your Girlfriend Call You
What better way to wake up than the sound a woman’s voice? Depending on what type of girl she is, she might be flattered at the fact that you want to use her as your personal alarm clock. Not only will this be a good method for waking you up during your busy days, but this will also be a good indicator as to where you stand in your relationship.
If she’s actually willing to call you every single morning and greet you with a friendly (or lustful) voice, then that would essentially prove that she loves you enough to execute the act on a regular basis. On the other hand, if she scoffs at you, finds the idea ridiculous or refuses to do it, you may want to re evaluate how much you think she actually cares about you.
#5) Go to Bed Earlier
It may be asking a lot for you to reminisce upon your strict 8:30 bed time when you were a child, but there was a reason your parents made you clock in early: so they wouldn’t have to be the ones to wake you up at the crack of dawn, as they were probably sleeping in from a long night of supplying you with potential little brothers and sisters. Alright, I apologize for that image, but hey…it’s probably the truth.
The bottom line is the earlier you go to sleep, the earlier your body will be able to tolerate lifting itself from the warm, dreamy cloud that is your bed. You may find you forcing yourself to go to sleep at first, but once you stick to a set “bed time” routine your body will eventually adapt.
Have you successfully used any of the ‘wake up’ methods presented above? Tell us all about how you manage to overcome your morning fantasies with select celebrities and we’ll do the same in return! |

Over the next several months, the Salt Creek Park District will be performing renovation work to the native area located along the fence line on the north side of Twin Lakes, just south of Kenilworth Ave. The renovation project will consist of removing volunteer weed trees and undesirable vegetation between the creek and the fence line, while restoring the native habitat. Selective plant material will be left along the fence line to provide continual privacy to homeowners that live adjacent to the park. This project is taking place to rejuvenate and enhance the native area for the enjoyment of all patrons visiting the park. |

Hello, I try write small program in my national language ... Polish. In labels and fields i can't write my national char. I'm tested it on my PB G4 Ti (MAcOSX) and desktop computer with Windows XP (Polish system). Where is problem? Please help me. My English is nooooot good ;-) Tomek |
The shuffler: Nick Peill, frontman of the English-Icelandic band Fields. The band's May-release debut full-length, Everything Last Winter, is an energetic, accomplished blur that comfortably grasps acoustic folk, shoegaze, and the unexpected sounds between.
Fields, "Brittlesticks"
Nick Peill: Here we go, then, let's see what happens. You know, shuffle's always a bit hit or miss. Oh no, how embarrassing. It's actually come up with one of my own songs first. See, you can't always rely on it to give you the best music. But it's brought up a different version of "Brittlesticks" than the one that got released. We recorded at the Chapel, which is a studio in the middle of nowhere, in Lincolnshire, and this was obviously trying to get the mix of it right. This is one of the many mixes. So I shall hastily skip on and see what we have.
Adem, "These Are Your Friends"
NP: From the album Homesongs. Actually, this has been on pretty heavy rotation, even not being on shuffle. I've listened to this quite a lot this year. I think the album's actually a couple years old now—he's released a more recent one, but I've had this on my iPod probably for about a year. I only discovered it by accident through shuffle about six months ago. Also, one of the songs off here was in a film called Dead Man's Shoes. It's like a cult British film. I've seen it a few times and always wondered what the song was. Then I finally heard the album.
The Smiths, "How Soon Is Now?"
NP: I guess they were one of those bands that everyone sort of discovers in their teens, and their songs still stand up. In fact, when we were listening—we've just come back from an American trip, with a lot of drives between shows. And because I have so much Smiths on my iPod, we listened to a lot of Smiths. I'm kind of overdosed on them a bit now.
Animal Collective, "Visiting Friends"
NP: On their album Sung Tongs. I don't know how much people know about Animal Collective, really. They're a pretty interesting band, quite crazy. Not many of my friends seem to know who they are, and I put them on when they come over. They've got this one track in particular, I can't remember what it's called, with basically seven minutes of people just kind of making wailing noises. And that's a big party favorite of mine. [Laughs.] I did get told to turn that off quite recently by my girlfriend. Sometimes we've been compared to Animal Collective. I mean, they're way more weird and sort of crazy than we are. But I can kind of see that, they've got some sort of interesting, sort of folky thing going on in some of their tracks. Yeah, big fan of them.
Mogwai, "Helps Both Ways"
NP: It's from the album Come On Die Young. Yeah, can't go wrong with it, Mogwai. I think Mogwai definitely is one of the most impressive live bands I've ever seen. I remember going to see them play in like a pub venue near Birmingham in England. They were touring with Arab Strap, and both bands were drinking red wine onstage and got really drunk, and Mogwai played for two hours, completely pissed, and I think without a doubt it was the loudest thing I've heard in my life. I thought I was going to throw up at one point, it was so loud. So for that alone, Mogwai is always pretty near my top list of favorite bands. Kind of like when you go see bands and it's so ridiculously extreme live it leaves quite a big impression on you. Mogwai have kind of an offshoot label, they do, and they've got this band, Part Chimp. They have this sort of dubious honor of being the loudest band in Britain at the moment. Their record has been on in the tour bus quite a lot, and they're fantastic. They sound like buildings falling down, just amazing.
Stereolab, "Percolator"
NP: Like the coffee percolator. From their album Emperor Tomato Ketchup. I think it's my favorite Stereolab album. I've got quite a few of their things, and I really like the early Stereolab. By the time they got to Emperor Tomato Ketchup, I think they'd moved away from being entirely krautrock-y, and they had more of the kind of weird pop and analog sort of noises going on. But they still wrote great pop songs. I think that was around the time they were critically most acclaimed as well. Oh yeah, it's wicked, this album. Again, this is one that I'd sort of completely forgotten, and then put on my iTunes.
Vince Giordano And The Nighthawks, "You're Just My Type"
NP: The Ghost World soundtrack—oh yeah, this sounds like Sunday-morning music. This is like the sort of music that you might want to listen to if you're reading the Sunday papers, and you're living out your Breakfast At Tiffany's kind of fantasy. You might have a nice, elegant breakfast. [Laughs.] I think soundtracks can be quite good. I haven't got that many, but I've got a few soundtracks on there. It's quite good, the Ghost World one, it's got quite a variety of stuff on it. I like the book as well.
Boards Of Canada, "Turquoise Hexagon Sun"
NP: I always liked the fact that their keyboards sounded sort of out of tune with each other. I spent quite some time in my room making my keyboards sound [like that] in homage to Boards Of Canada. They're definitely one of the starting points, really, of Fields. I was more into experimental electronica when I was first writing songs, they tended to be kind of instrumental, electronic things, and as it developed into songs with words, more guitars crept in. Now it's sort of at the point where the band is guitar-based. But I've still got a lot of love for a lot of this music, and I think when we come to make the next record, we'll probably sort of maybe refer back to the electronic stuff again. It's definitely something I feel I want to rediscover to some extent.
The Cure, "Wailing Wall"
NP: Oh, brilliant. That's a fitting song to end on, actually. From the album The Top. I think The Cure were one of many reasons I picked up the guitar, actually. They were kind of the first band I felt any real loyalty to. I was in my teens. The first band that I bought T-shirts by, and tried to learn how to play their songs. And I like to think that in some senses, they still remain quite big influences, in that they were sort of able to do big atmospheric pieces and slightly frivolous pop songs and a whole mixture of stuff in between, but sort of have that own identity over them. You know, that's something that—when we made the album, we didn't just want to have 10 songs that sounded like they were of the same kind of ilk, we wanted to have this sense of being able to go down certain avenues. Maybe that subconsciously is a result of listening to a lot of records by The Cure while I grew up, and that they were able to do that. And The Top's really good. The Head On The Door is my favorite, but The Top is a good one as well. "Wailing Wall" has kind of got a little Eastern flavor as well. |

Using near-infrared in near-space. High altitude balloon for Global Space Balloon Chanlenge
Hooray!
Our project IRBE-1 got 2nd place in nomination for best science experiment! We also got the prize - it's a balloon and parachute form High Altitude Science. That means more ballooning, right?! Anyways, first place went to team JADE from Poland who had a really cool bio-experiment. If anyone of the team JADE is reading this, good job guys and congratulations! :)
You can check out our report here:
We did it! We have launched and recovered our high altitude balloon IRBE-1! I can not say it was very easy because we had several problems that might have ruined our little near-space mission, but in the end everything went well! We are very excited that we got to launch our first HAB and also to participate in the GSBC. I finally found some time to sit down and write about the launch and I hope you will enjoy reading it and most importantly learn from our mistakes.
Electronics
So we had the launched planned for 10th of april, but with just couple weeks to go we had a lot of programming and testing to do. We designed the boards three circuit boards for our payload:
Here is a picture of complete stack that was planned for launch.
Since these boards were basically home made, they did not have solder mask. This in turn caused several problems when soldering the SMD components. In fact these problems made us ditch the sensor board. In the end we got it working but because we had little time left before launch we decided not to take risk. Also the GSM module was removed from payload after we tested it and found that it randomly locks up the program. Again, we had little time to solve this problem and we decided to not use it. This was a quite bad thing. It meant that we had to rely only on RTTY transmitter and GPS when tracking the balloon and I do not recommend using only one wireless link for transmitting balloon coordinates, because you double the possibility of loosing your payload. We did it anyway, because we are crazy, but seriously don't do this.
So at the end we had only stellaris launchpad, data logger and communication boards, but without GSM module. This is very basic configuration for a HAB and we decided to stick with it because wanted to avoid any glitches caused by untested hardware or software. On the stellaris board we had to remove the reset management IC which did not allow the VBUS voltage to be lower than 4.38V. Since we had Li-ion batteries with voltage ranging from 3.7V to 4.2V, we removed U4 and connected batteries to VBUS. Thus we could run stellaris launchpad with li-ion batteries while using the original voltage regulator on the board. Please not that if you try to recreate this small hack with your stellaris launchpad, DO NOT leave the power switch on the ICD mode while connecting to PC via ICD usb. We did not try it, but it will probably set something on fire.
The launch
We had arranged the balloon launch from an Ventspils airport which gladly supported us in our activities. We also got a generous donation from a company AGA, that gave us 50l of 99% helium. Ventspils University College covered most of the expenses related to electronics. Combining all this made our project super cheep.
Soon enough came the launch day. When we arrived at the airfield, we discovered a problem that we had not paid much attention and it was the conductive material presence near the GPS antenna. And it turned out that we needed to rise the GPS module about 5cm above capsules cover, because the tin foil thermal insulation and other conductive bits made GPS loose the coordinates. We had the tin foiled cover and GPS tested earlier and it was fine, but as soon as we inserted it into capsule with cover on top, GPS went bananas.
Of course we did not know that in the beginning and so starts the spiral of problems that arose from this one. At the beginning we turned to software and ran a test code. Guess what happened after we found that it was physical problem? Off course we forgot to upload the flight code. This did not have catastrophic coincidences, but the GPS did not have flight mode enabled. So GPS would stopped transmitting coordinates after reaching altitudes above 12 km. Next chain-linked problem was the camera batteries. While we were trying different things...Read more »
The capsule is now covered with tinfoil and it has the holes for each camera. Here is pictures of both cameras we will be using and capsule.
By removing the IR filter in canon A490 and adding adding infrablue or red filter, this camera will be able to take pictures with infrared in red channel and visible light in blue channel.
SJ4000 will capture full HD video of the flight. SJ4000 angle of view is quite wide (140 deg) and capsules walls are about 3cm thick, so if we were going to fit it inside capsule, it would require ridiculusly large lense hole. Instead camera was moved inside capsules wall. Also a plastic cover was made to prevent it from falling out of the payload. Now it fits inside nicely.
We will have a custom made parachute, because it is more cheap and more fun. We did some tests with material of our choosing, threads and ropes.
At this moment we have assembled capsule and fitted the IR camera inside of it. The capsule is made from extruded styrofoam panel. Several screws and tape holds styrofoam together. Here you can see the capsule and rope mounts.
We teared down a laptop battery and extracted the li-ion cells. After recharging and discharging each of three battery pairs it appears that all three pairs still have about 70% of original capacity (2600mAh).
We got an GSM module for back-up tracking. It can be used to communicate with base station, as well as to determine coordinates of balloon.
Also we tried out 10DOF board, works good, but we will not be using this on the payload.
This is the quick overview of what we have been doing. We plan to make PCBs for sensors and com's. Follow us to get more frequent and detailed updates. |

If are becoming harder to find within OEM lineups as they all move toward crossovers or SUVs to suit consumer demand. However, one emerging trend is the sportback design (or the illusion theroef).
Recently, I had the pleasure of driving the all-new VW Arteon. I’m a huge fan of its premium design and I wanted to find out if it lived up to my expectations of it.
Where It Stands
The Arteon replaces the CC as Volkswagen’s largest sedan. It’s undoubtedly the most luxurious vehicle they offer. Because of the sportback design, it’s often compared to the A5 Sportback from Audi. Its starting price also nudges it into more of a premium category.
How It Drives
The steering on VW vehicles will forever annoy me. I personally feel it’s too light and the feedback is non-existent.
What I do like about the car is that it feels quick despite it only having a 2.0L turbo inline-four.
What I Like
I really do admire the Arteon’s exterior and interior design. Another added plus is the spaciousness.
What I Don’t Like
The driver’s seat has a massage function that made me feel like I was sitting on someone’s lap and I could feel the rise and fall of their stomach with their breathing. It felt really weird.
Also, some of the controls aren’t very intuitive. For example, the heated steering wheel button is to the right side of the gear shifter—not very close to the steering wheel or even the heated seat functions.
Conclusion
The Arteon is beautifully designed and it’s incredibly spacious, however it doesn’t the offer the type of drive I like. It’ll be ideal for someone who isn’t big on the “prestigiousness” of an Audi A5 Sportback and simply wants a car that’s stylish and functional without having to spend as much on an Audi. |
In A Sea Of Blockbusters, Blake Lively’s ‘The Shallows’ May Win Big By Playing Small
The latest project for Digital Sandbox and VFX Supervisor Scott E. Anderson is making waves in Hollywood.
“In a rather surprise development, Sony shuffled The Shallows from its planned June 29th date to June 24th. The weekend of June 24th turns out to be a very crowded frame. You’ve got Broad Green Pictures and Amazon Studios’s The Neon Demon apparently going at least semi-wide (it’s a lot of fun if you know what you’re getting into), you’ve got STX Entertainment’s big summer offering Free State of Jones, and, oh yeah, you’ve got 20th Century Fox’s Independence Day: Resurgence.
Sony wouldn’t be shifting their Blake Lively versus a shark thriller into the firestorm unless they had confidence in the product. Or maybe they just smell blood in the water in terms of that Friday’s big sequel tentpole offering. While the last trailer was great and the TV spots are starting to sell some impressive steak along with the sizzle (there is one spoiler image I wish I had avoided), there isn’t much buzz for a mega-sequel dropping ten days from now.”

Good afternoon!
I am a day late with this post but I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas! I'm sure you have all been just as busy as me trying to get everything in order before the big day arrives. This is the first year in MANY MANY years that I didn't send out Christmas cards. This makes me really sad. Each year I look forward to sending out cards. I love to share what I create with my friends and family. Especially at the holidays!
Since I was so busy getting ready for the holiday- I didn't really have a whole lot of extra time to spend in my craft room. Now that the holidays are over I will be spending a ridiculous amount of time making lots of new things! As you can see from the right side bar on my blog- I was one of several Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who were chosen to be a part of the Creative Crew over at.
I cannot wait to share all the wonderful creations with you and I hope that you too will play along with our monthly challenges. I will share the challenges as soon as I know what they are! I will also post the link to the gallery once it goes public.
Thanks for checking in and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! |

I just posted a note looking for a nice, celebration dinner spot in Dallas and since this question is a bit different, I decided to just give it its own space in a separate topic.
In any case, my wife and I will be traveling to Dallas next month when she takes her medical boards exams. we are both in our early 30's with no kids. This means there will be a few days when I am "on my own" while she studies, preps, and takes the exam and then a few days we can enjoy Dallas together after she is done.
I am looking for things to do in the Dallas area. Mostly, I would love to find some outdoor adventure-type activities to take in. We both enjoy these activities... usually more mild ones for both of us while I will go more extreme solo. As an example, she would do a 2 hour horseback trail ride while I will go for the 8 hour.
Anyway, my interests are varied. I love horseback riding and enjoy water activities like kayaking, fishing, and so forth. I also like hiking or exploring natural parks and other areas. We've done jeep tours and the such before, too, and enjoyed them. I would love to be outdoor and active while in Dallas so I welcome and appreciate any and all suggestions!
If there are other "must-see" places or activities you recommend, too, please feel free to share those too. I had hoped to see a rodeo of some kind down there or get my "cowboy fix" in somehow but it doesn't look like one is going on during our stay.
Thanks, in advance, for your helpful tips and recommendations...
Outdoor fun/adventure near Dallas?
I just posted a note looking for a nice, celebration dinner spot in Dallas and since this question is a bit different, I decided to just give it its own space in a separate topic.
Are you heading to Dallas in Oct or Nov? If it's October, you can catch the State Fair which is pretty fun
I can't help with hiking trails near Dallas - it's extremely flat there. But at nearby White Rock Lake, you can rent kayak or canoe or stand-up paddleboards
If you head to Grapevine, there are wineries in that area, as well as nature trails
I guess one info would help is how far you're willing to drive?
My personal "must-see" places for Dallas are its Art Museum, and the Nasher Sculpture Center next door. And the Sixth Floor Museum. Over in FW, I like the Kimball Museum and the FW Museum of Modern Art.
You might enjoy Lake Ray Roberts State Park. It's about an hour north of Dallas. Here is an official Texas Parks and Wildlife Video about it: Hiking and horseback trail rides are available here. I'm not sure what the area is looking like right now with the drought, but Pilot Point is normally a beautiful area with lots of horse farms. I'm not sure if kayaks will be available to rent when you will be here or not, their website says they are temporarily unavailable.
As yk mentioned there is kayaking on White Rock Lake. You might also enjoy the Dallas Arboretum while you are in that area.
Not sure how far you are willing to drive, but there is a place that does ziplining in New York, Texas (yep, New York).
Thanks, this is much appreciated already!
I am fine with driving. In fact, as crazy as it may sound, I plan to drive north into Oklahoma on one of my days. I am one of "those people" determined to set foot in all 50 states and Oklahoma has not been checked off yet. Neither has Arkansas, but that looked like a longer drive.
So, if I am willing to drive to the OK border just to cross in for a short visit, driving to other destinations shouldn't bother me too much! =)
Thanks again and I look forward to the other suggestions!
Oh, and I am going November 7-13 for kayak canoe
or Hill Country awesome if time.
Get stop-by-stop directions for a driving tour of the Hill Country in Texas from National Geographic's Ultimate Road Trips. Head down south for a visit to Texas's famed ...
travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/road-trips/hill
I have lived in OK(for 40 years). There is some hiking here and then places like Big Bend, Guadalupe are great in Texas.
However, Arkansas has some outstanding places to visit. Buffalo River area is my favorite. Mount Nebo, Mount Magazine, Petit Jean are all good. I prefer most of these when there has been rain(springtime is best). The waterfalls would all be dry right now.
Since you're planning on driving up to Oklahoma anyway, I highly recommend a visit to Lake Murray State Park. Again, I'm not sure how it's looking with the drought, but it is normally a very beautiful lake and area. Plenty to do there including fishing, boat rentals, horseback riding, easy hikes, golf, putt-putt golf, and more. I don't think you would regret a visit to this nice Oklahoma State Park! I've always enjoyed myself there.
Oops, forgot to add the link:
Much appreciated... nice having that destination in OK rather than crossing the border and thinking "Now what?" =)
Lake Texoma has a lot to offer, also. We have lots and lots of State-owned property/lakes/parks here.
60's-70's or higher.
Oklahoma has some pretty parks, too. Turner falls is doable:
I second the suggestions for White Rock Lake. Nice hiking/biking trails as well as kayaking. You can also rent a bike very close by:
The weather this time of year should be awesome. We've had a heat wave all summer, but the temps will be cooler that week, for sure. But not cold.
Do plan on a visit to the Sixth Floor Museum. It is informative and moving, without being maudlin.
Please note that Fort Worth is close (30 minutes from Downtown to Downtown) and has much to offer in its own right. The Botanical Gardens are beautiful and the Stockyards offer that "cowboy" atmosphere you're hankerin' fer. hahaha There is a regular Friday or Saturday night rodeo at the Stockyards. Check it out.
Finally, between those two cities lies Arlington, home of the "Death Star" (the local slang for the new Cowboys Stadium. It does kind of look like the Death Star when lit up at night.) There are tours available and you might even check out a local sporting event. (Cowboys play Buffalo on the 13th at noon.) There are usually college games on Saturdays. Check out the website: It is an awesome thing to behold...just sayin'.
Have a great trip and good luck to your wife on her exams!
to add a link to sarge's rodeo suggestion: |
This little 42 gauge fox is ideal for a fast smoke of surprising depth and complexity. Balancing sweet and savoury with rich and deep aromas, your experience will zip through curves of caramel, nut chocolate and bitter ale. The Diplomaticos No 4 also delivers a quintessentially even burn.

But one in every five eligible households do not claim this vital tax credit; and of those who do, too many pay an average of $250 to file their taxes instead of using the free tax preparation services available at the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites around the city. How can we enable more of our fellow New Yorkers who have low incomes to file for free, claim their money and get access to other financial empowerment services? To answer that challenge, we are re-imagining how free tax preparation is provided in New York City and want your input.” Attendees will include Commissioner of DCA Julie Menin and Darren Bloch, Executive Director at The Mayor’s Fund to Advance NYC.

On Lib Dem Voice: Reportage | Live Twitter Stream | Contribute
On the official party website: Conference home
Watch Live on BBC Parliament
With my technological fingers crossed, here we go…
[Several people in the hall are also tweeting through the debate. You can keep up with their and other conference tweets through this search link. The policy paper and motion are available to read here. And yes, it is International Talk Like A Pirate Day, hence this.]
The votes:
- Amendment 1 (female representation): passed overwhelmingly
- Amendment 2 (air-brushing): overwhelmingly defeated
- Amendment 3 (sport): passed overwhelmingly
- Separate vote (on name blank employment): lines overwhelmingly retained
- Motion as a whole: passed overwhelmingly
Lynne Featherstone (summating on the motion): concentrates on name-blank employment and on air-brushing. Draws parallel with exam marking where names are removed in order to stop some forms of bias and highlights evidence from Department of Work and Pensions of the impact that name-blanking can have. On air-brushing – it’s about tackling conformity and not accepting the values of global industries. It’s about making the operation of those industries open and honest. UPDATE: You can watch her speech on YouTube here.
Laura Willoughby (summating on amendment over sports coverage): “I had to give up rugby when I was eleven – I think that was to protect the young men actually”. “Association Football is the top female sport in the UK” – but women’s football matches get very little coverage and very little interest from sports journalists. “We do just as much sport – and we’d like to see just as much of it.”
Bernard Salmon (summating on the amendment over air-brushing): compares proposals to Tory attempts to ban rave music in the 1990s. Doesn’t think the proposals will work as there are many way to alter people’s appearance without altering photos, e.g. plastic surgery. Also opposes name blanking proposals. He doesn’t believe they will work, as discrimination takes place all the way through the employment process and other information in a CV can give away someone’s gender etc.
Neil Fawcett: “I’m afraid I’m not the other Fawcett. She wasn’t available.” Talks about his experience as a father: “The one thing I really didn’t expect was just how much peer pressure my daughters would face.” Defends air-brushing proposal as being specific measure to tackle dishonesty in advertising.
Elaine Bagshaw: media promotes an image of how women should appear that is “unrealistic and unattainable”, which produces great pressures on young women growing up. Moves on to talk about the urgency of tackling the gender pay gap.
Katy Gordon: “Even Marilyn Monroe would be considered fat by today’s standards”. Took the policy paper to a women’s group in Glasgow and asked them what they thought of media images of women. All of them backed the idea of warning in some way of photos that had been airbrushed. “However good a parent you are, you are up against the might of the beauty industry and the media.”
Ettie Spencer: talks of her personal experiences of women who struggle with weight issues, including a sister with anorexia. “I’ve been shocked by the effects of the peer pressures I observe.” Protecting the health and well-being of children is more important than protecting the advertising industry.
Henry Vann: Less than 10% of FTSE350 directors are female. Praises the paper’s approach on equal pay and talks of the importance of the issue. “Labour have failed on gender equality”.
Erin Harvey: talks about human trafficking. Regrets that the policy paper says little about the issue other than a freephone line. “I hope that this paper will not be a missed opportunity.”
Elizabeth Jewkes: every week in Britain, two women are killed by their partners or ex-partners. Talks about stark choices many women face, driving ten a week to suicide. Half of all female murder victims are killed by their partner or ex-partner. For men the figure is less than one in twenty.
Jacquie Bell: talks about people who have to care for adults. Childcare arrangements are very important – but don’t forget the burdens of caring for adults.
Now for a series of one minute ‘interventions’ from microphones on the floor of the hall: Anna Arrowsmith – in favour of proposals on air-brushing of photos. Martha Vickers – motion makes no mention of domestic violence, though it is covered in the policy paper. Kevin O’Connor – talks about work/life balance issue for families bringing up children. Welcomes proposals in the paper for more flexible work arrangements, including for men. Andrew Hudson – regrets that international issues don’t get a mention, nor do honour killings and forced marriages in this country. Susan Gaszczak – talks in favour of air-brushing proposals. Expresses concerns over what her children see on TV. Belinda Brookes-Gordon – also in favour of proposals about digital retouching. Justine McGuiness – speaks against name blanking employment proposals, saying they are overly prescriptive. Susan Knight – equal rights in law haven’t turned in to equal rights in real life – there is still much to do. Robert Adamson – supports the motion. Eleanor Bell – also supports the motion, particularly the provisions on retouching of photos.
Jeremy Hargreaves: also speaks in defence of the “name blanking” job application proposals, highlighting the risk of subconscious discrimination especially when people are applying for their first job and so have relatively limited other information on their CV.
Anna Pascoe: supports the “name blanking” job application proposals.
Keith Angus: gives unequivocal support for the motion. “Parts of it make me feel a little uncomfortable”, but “it’s the very parts that make me feel uncomfortable that will make the biggest difference”. Some friendly heckling when he says he works at a bank in the City. The proposals “underline that we are a party about freedom”.
Jill Hope: expresses doubts about how wide-ranging the motion is and bemoans timing of debate so early in conference. Also talks about provision of midwives and the tragedies which flow from shortages. It’s a critical issue which should be given more than just one line in the motion.
Claire Jackson: moves Amendment 3, which is about the lack of attention given to women’s sports compared to men’s sports. Criticises government for failing to ensure free to air coverage of major female sporting events.
Bernard Salmon: moves Amendment 2, which would remove proposals to tackle air-brushing in adverts. It recognises the problem but says it can best be tackled, “through a process of cultural change rather than by regulation by the state.” His speech focuses on whether the proposals are workable and whether the answer to the problem is regulation.
Dinti Batstone: moves Amendment 1, which adds reference to empowering women to play a full part in politics. “Not a single female Liberal Democrat MP was first elected while bringing up young children.”
Motion introduced by Jo Swinson MP. Referring to the paper’s magazine-like layout, she says the policy paper “is a wee bit different … some people have even read it … Women want to feel happy, healthy and confident.” Gives heavy emphasis to the way the policy paper will give people and businesses flexibility to suit personal circumstances, such as sharing parental leave and part-time working. Criticises the 27% gender pay gap at the Treasury. “Women need to know when they are being paid less for the same job” – a reference to the paper’s support for pay audits.
“Challenging the commercial driven conformity of the perfect woman’s body has certainly ruffled a few feathers. Those feathers should be ruffled … The image is false … It’s dishonest, it’s harmful and it’s got to change.” A large chunk of her speech is about the air-brushing proposals in the paper – which an amendment proposes removing.
“When you leave conference, don’t recycle this policy paper along with the rest. Reuse it … tell every woman you know.”
“When you leave conference, don’t recycle this policy paper along with the rest.”
Unless it’s passed in amended form I suppose
Given that the party has now passed a motion banning a form of free speech, calling for media time to be allocated by gender rather than by popularity, and calling for every employer in the country to address job applications in a certain way, is the first word in the name of the party really apt?
I’m with Millian I’m afraid. This really is a very wrong way to try to make women “feel happy, healthy and confident”. It’s not the kind of “Liberal” stance I’d expect from our party.
It is at times like this that whilst one values the contribution made by many Lib Dems to the political debate one’s relief that they will never form a government is overwhelming.
We are at war, our economy has collapsed, 2.5 Million unemployed, and this is what you waste your time on. Shame on you Lib Dems. OK you may get to these but I could name another thousand things that need addressing before this nonsense. Jo Swinson has done you untold damage, I can’t understand why she isn’t in the same party as Harriet Harman.
This image has been airbrushed.
So has this one.
Looking forward to day two, what are you banning tomorrow?
@ James,.
Somehow I felt it was pretty unliberal to have a media and advertising to run riot with so many blatant lies and mistruths. To me the media and advertising might as well be communist russia or facist germany, telling ME that I’m too fat one day, that I should want to look like slutty b-listers and saying to me this and that.
What about the peopl? Are we NOT individuals??
@ Ollie like WHAT??
Tell me what needs addressing that your mother, sister or aunt could have suffered serious mental health issues because of the drivel that is spouted by the media and advertising?
Tell me WHAT is more important, then my friend who’ve been paying tax since she’s been working @ 16 but suffers from such severe anorexia issues that she can barely work? By missing out on HER issues, people have missed out on someone who got a first and has come out with the most incredible piece of information about society then I know…
I’m curious about your involvement with women-all of you-with working class, middle class or upper class women? WHAT do you all do that makes it so ridicuous that bringing a case to stop the media and advertisers acting like Stalin is so wrong?
Women make out more the 50% of society in the UK. We barely make a larger number the 17% in parliament but apparently we don’t really want to be MP’s…maybe we’re binging or too anorexic to care?? LOL! But yeah, this is our percentage, now tell what policies cater the people who give birth to you, make out a larger population then men and as we’ve seen from new research would benefit from being more included in the frigging society they contribute it??
I’m all ears.
If this country wasn’t suhc a state and glowing with male brilliance and astute ideas/decisions, then maybe we woudn’t have to use our brain cells and look at cognitive behaviour to roots of problems.
@rantersparadise .”
1) I suggest you take personal responsibility for your actions and not blame others.
2) I suggest your friends learn to use the phrase ‘piss off’ and use it whenever anyone tell’s them they are too fat. I could give them a list of alternate phrases but they should be able to imagine them for themselves.
3) I suggest the naive fools who want to look like women in magazines are a victim of their parents who have failed to educate them that the media uses idealised images and that is not not a standard to aspire to.
4) I suggest that 3 has always been so. I have advertisements going back to the 1920’s that have been airbrushed. Why is it this generation that has to blame others for thier weaknesses?
5) I suggest you learn how to read and write, that includes using spelling and grammar.
…. and having criticised your grammar I go and write tell’s when I meant tells. Whoops.
@rantersparadise “@ Ollie like WHAT??”
Just about any of the important issues facing our country is more important. Nothing you blame the media for is anything other than the fault of the people who allowed themselves to be influenced by it.
The media do not act like Stalin. The airbrush images, how you can belittle the deaths of Stalin’s ten million victims, comparing the concentration camps and totalitarianism with removing a mole on a supermodels arm is beyond me.
I understand why this passed now, the membership is irrational.
Sad but unsurprised.
Rantersparadise, I’m struck in your comments by the same thing I was struck by in yesterday’s comments on this subject from people in yesterday’s thread: you all spend a lot of time explaining why photoshopping etc is awful, how it affects you, how it affects young girls, in very impassioned terms. As if you think we don’t already understand why it’s awful, as if by explaining the adverse effects again you might get us to suddenly clutch our foreheads and say, “Oh my god! You’re right that’s terrible! Let’s do exactly as you suggest immediately!”
I do understand why it’s awful. I agree with you it’s awful. I detest what effects the magazine culture has on people who maybe don’t have the self-esteem or education to defend themselves (and it’s hardly their fault that they don’t). I just don’t agree for one second that this is the right, or the liberal, answer to that problem.
Hi, rantersparadise. I’m a former anorexic who now works in a private hospital treating people who suffer from, amongst other things, eating disorders. So I have a small idea of the problem, the scale of the problem and the kind of ideas that might make a difference.
Is an airburshing ban realistically going to make a difference to the pressure on young people to conform. Will the ban actually help build-up insecure people’s self-worth and self-esteem? Will it enable people with eating disorders to set themselves free from negative feelings about themselves? Will it actually help combat the myth that conformity is paramount? Will a ban actively help people to see themselves as valuable human beings? No.
What it would do is set dangerous legal precedents. For example, who decides what can and what can’t be airbrushed? If you draw that line at magazines aimed at females under 18, it could be argued that the law is both sexist and patronising. Do teens need “protecting” or “empowering”? Surely any Liberal Democrat can see the solution is in education rather than legislation.
Airbrushing has been an artistic technique for decades, the famous Oliver Cromwell being arguably the first political figure to refuse to use it when he asked to be painted “warts and all”. The problem isn’t with airbrushing in teen magazines, it’s with the philosophy and power of these magazines. That’s what needs challenging, not artistic presentation.
And look at the front page of the Guardian: “Lib Dems calls for a ban on airbrushed photos.” That’s just brilliant, that is. Really reinforcing our core brand, there.
@ Ollie
I guess a bad speller is worse then someone who has something to say….nice…I’d hate to be a close female relative or friend to you..wow empathy…
@ Alix
I agree with education but do we know of a policy that set off with an educational way of helping people but fell short? I think of Labour here…they had quite a few ideas that just didn’t undersand the complexities of people..I had diff ideas-I would’ve had a disclaimer instead but this is a start that can now lead to a constructive educational plan…not just some ‘ban’…
@ James
How do you think an eductional plan would be set out? Also, I think that mens issues with anorexia are a lot deeper then women’s-I’m generalising of course but in general terms-with women it comes from being objectified.
Also, yes the Guardian headline was just wrong…
A picture paints a thousand words.
PS it IS banning, who is going to want a government warning on every picture of a magazine?
Well done conference!
Alix, some further refutation of your “Real women adverts are economically superior and if only they tried it they’d all do it”.
Unilever, Doves parent company who no doubt have more data than you can shake a pointy stick at on the relative success of the campaign, are running this ad:
I really don’t understand why you guys are coming down so much in favor on the rights and freedoms of business to mislead and manipulate.
Ollie C
So what do you propose to create an equal opp in terms of freedom of expression? How am I the little person supposed to fight in your ‘free’ world about this b*llocks?
And nannying?
What the hell are you guys on? Have or can any of you explain a society that doesn’t cater to every friggin tax payer? And question, you’d think it’d be the US but guess what, even despite Bush’s war and all public services, they STILL kept up finance towards something as….’nannying and irrelevant’ as the arts because they had the foresight to realise that erm, economists, artists, plumbers, even mothers, cleaners, accountants and lol historians plus many more are all relevant in the functions that creates a sustainable society.
Because what you’re saying is ‘well, your fault you’re gonna die you skinny b*tch, ain’t my fauly you pathetic need to be nannyed human being’, so piss off and well fade away.
I’d LOVE to hear your opionions on mental health….wow…bet they’re brill….poor Darwin, he wouldn’t have lasted a sec with you geezers!
Who is being misled by an airbrushed photo?
This is a lovely left-wing motion and I’m sure the left-wing grassroots are delighted, but please don’t have the gall to run that Lib Dems against the Nanny State fringe event when you pass censorship laws like this.
@jamess
“I really don’t understand why you guys are coming down so much in favor on the rights and freedoms of business to mislead and manipulate.”
Loving that straw man there. “You’re against us so you must be in favour of the nasty big businesses.”
Your lack of understanding is due to the fact that you keep insistently not listening to what I’m saying.
(A) I don’t think any of you know what you actually want to achieve here, and my opinion has only been reinforced by reading comments in favour of the policy. I’ve read everything from a comparatively restrained “want to stop children accessing unrealistic aspirations before they’re ready” to “want to redress balance of power between men and women and free women from shackles of evil corporations”. That’s a pretty hefty spread of aims for what I keep being assured is a tiny piece of power-extension for the ASA.
You’re also deeply confused about the meaning of “unrealistic aspiration”. It’s clearly unrealistic for women (or anyone) to aspire to look like someone in a photoshopped image. But it’s also unrealistic for women (or anyone) to aspire to look like a beautiful model professionally posed in a non-photoshopped image. In the case of many of the big design house advertisements, it’s unrealistic for the vast majority of women to even afford the clothes and make-up they’re wearing. The whole fucking thing is bonkersly unrealistic. And you think getting excited about a small percentage of the whole process comes anywhere near addressing that?
In sum, you can’t agree on what problem it is you’re trying to solve, but you’re all pretty damn sure that you’re very upset about whatever your own version of the problem is, and therefore you want to do something, and this is something, therefore you must do it. And if we really haven’t figured out on the basis of 12 years’ New Labour government that this is a lousy way to make decisions about regulation, then I despair of our collective stupidity.
(B) If businesses – or government, or anyone – misleads and manipulates people, the best remedy is education and effective self-esteem building. Not legislation, or regulation. Because – and I say this as a former tax adviser – people will always, always find a way round legislation or regulation. And then you’ll have to make more. And then you’ll do it again. Businesses are agile and will adapt. Government is clunky, and cannot win. It’s the old “teach a man to fish” proverb. If you regulate a single manipulative practice, you’ve saved some people from that manipulative practice. Teach people to resist and analyse manipulate practices effectively, and they’ll never need you to regulate for them again. This is simple empowering liberalism, for god’s sake.
(C) Moreover, part of the reason government cannot win actually has nothing to do with businesses. It’s the internet itself. Lots of people have already justifiably wondered how you’re going to stop under-18s looking at adult women’s mags. Well, that goes a thousandfold for the internet. Are you going to regulate all of it? Are you going to create one piece of regulation that stops any teenage girl ever seeing a photoshopped image on the internet? Just one piece, is that all it takes? No slippery slope at all? If you think the answer to this is yes, you’re being incredibly stupid (or you are Lord Mandelson and I claim my £5). If the answer is “No, but it’s a start, and maybe then we could regulate…” then you’re not a liberal.
And finally, mindful of tonight’s press coverage:
(D) If a liberal party is going to adopt a policy that is going to result in “Liberal Democrats ban such-and-such” headlines then there had better be a watertight reason why. And (see A-C) there ain’t.
And why on earth does the existence of an Asian advert playing on the Asian obsession with white skin mean you couldn’t effectively lobby a British company about photoshopped images in British advertising? Really, do just explain the logic behind that one. And, as regards your mention of Dove from yesterday, hey, maybe you could think about using whatever data they’re basing their Real Women campaign on to take to another company in a lobbying proposal? That would be an idea, wouldn’t it? But then, none of you actually seem remotely interested in learning about or seeking pointers on how to influence an industry whose activities you claim to feel so strongly about.
@Ollie Cromwell.
From your post: “They know the difference between reality and Barbie even if some Liberal Democrat’s have lost their grip on it”
*Frown* How many Liberal Democrats is that?
I think you’re wrong here in any case. Actually, there is a blurred line between reality and Barbie for some girls. The point is that the right answer is to teach them about that line rather than banning Barbie.
@Alix as many as voted for this nonsense. Which sadly was the majority at conference today. I was frowning too. I had hoped to see the Liberal Democrats be the new centre left party as Labour is so corrupt and incompetent. However I do not think you needed to move into Harriet Harman’s house to do it. I agree completely with your statement ‘The point is that the right answer is to teach them about that line rather than banning Barbie.’
@Millian Well said.
Oh dear! Since when is the liberal response to a problem to ban it? I can’t imagine that this motion will make any more than a handful of people vote for the Lib Dems but I can imagine lots of people who might be having second thoughts because of it. Not because of the issue itself exactly (who is actually in favour of airbrushed images?) but because it suggests that the party is both illiberal & inept. How is this ban going to work? I mean, what will it actually achieve? Will it mean that children no longer have issues with body image? Not at all. In fact I can’t see it achieving anything at all except giving ammunition to other parties. Erick Pickles will be dining out on this all week – and that’s saying something!*
*Am I allowed to make a joke about that?
@Harry, well said, that is exactly the case, no won votes, lots lost. Because a Liberal does not want to support a party whose response is to ban stuff rather than equip the individual to deal with the environmental pressures of life.
This is so poorly thought through, what happens when all these girls go on holiday and see European Magazines or American ones, are they suddenly going to start starving themselves? Perhaps they will just think they come from the ugly country and women the world over look better. It is just ridiculous. We live in a Global Village, oh hang on, I have got it, we need to ban foreign TV and foreign magazines too. That’ll do it.
Measures to encourage equality are a good thing. Forcing yourself to believe otherwise because you want to make sure you’re ticking the box marked “Liberal” is not.
@Huw are you suggesting that anything in these proposals supports equality? Equipping people with the skills to exist in the real word does, but protecting them from it does not. The real world has false images, it always will, even if they could be banned on this tiny island.
And actually Huw’s comment is yet another example of what I discussed at (A) in my great big long ranty post. No-one’s actually voted for this because they are seriously envisaging it will become law. They’ve voted for it because it’s kinda nice and sends the right message about equality. Because regulating something to send a message is always a howling success, isn’t it?
Sadly, I suspect this is exactly what people mean when they suggest we aren’t ready for government. Can we not just, for five minutes, think about everything as if we might actually be in a position to bloody enact it? Ironically, this is exactly what Clegg is doing with his big scary tuition fees announcement.
Leaving aside the assumption that the policy might actually work (which isn’t 100% certain anyway), since when did we ignore whether something is “liberal” or not? Isn’t it, y’know, in the name and all that? Nobody ever said being liberal had to be easy. In fact, doing things in a way that preserves maximum liberty is often very hard. But it’s worth doing it that way because, in the long run, it’s the right way of doing things. A ban on a certain kind of advertising is just “message” politics, to show that we “care” about an issue (and we certainly do care!), but it won’t achieve anything to solve the underlying problem.
Liberalism is all about creating a society where people are free to read and view and absorb whatever media they like (free speech) and are also secure and confident enough in their own individual identity to be unaffected by negative things that they might read or hear. This proposal basically assumes that we will never get to that situation and that we will always need to protect women from pictures of other women who look, in some sense, more attractive than they are. Is that really what we want? Instead of confronting the underlying problem, we just ban a few symptoms and hope everyone applauds us for doing it. Meanwhile, the justification for censorship that someone might be upset by reading or seeing something in print has now been given further credence by a party that is supposed to be, broadly, against that kind of thing. Maybe you think that the benefits of this policy outweigh the costs, but I simply don’t.
Alix: listening to the debate, there were several people who were clearly very committed to the proposal – and believe there is a real chance of getting the ASA to change its rules. Several people gave stories from their own families about the impact they think this change would have. (I omitted these from the live blog as I’m not sure they will have all thought through, “If I say this to conference, it may be on the internet for years for anyone who knows them to see as my child grows up”. Perhaps they had, but I decided in the midst of the debate blogging best to err on the side of caution.) I can’t recall anyone talking about it being just a symbolic act / sending of a message. So I think you’re wrong to say, ” No-one’s actually voted for this because they are seriously envisaging it will become law”, though whether that reassures you or makes things worse I’m not sure
Rantersparadise says: “I’d LOVE to hear your opionions on mental health”. Yes, we’re now getting close to the heart of the matter. This is ALL about mental health. I’m not going to respond to rantersparadise’s suggestions about the differences between male and female sufferers of anorexia, but I will say that as someone who works in the mental health arena it is about time we recognised this is a public health issue. The question, of course, is how best to move forward.
Ollie Cromwell says: “Equipping people with the skills to exist in the real word does, but protecting them from it does not.” This is precisely the correct attitude to take. I have no truck with the exploitative attitudes of the industries with vested interests in objectifying women. But I don’t think censorship is the most productive way to go about it. I don’t doubt that our party is genuine in wanting to do something positive on this issue, but what we’ve opted for would be hopelessly ineffective. I can’t see that banning a bit of airbrushing would make much difference to the kind of work that I do.
On the other hand, if conference had discussed how to find solutions to some of the complex mental health and social problems facing our young people, we might have come up with something more responsible, and almost certainly more relevant. Viewing the enormous complexities of adolescent psychiatric health through the narrow prism of “Real Women” was never likely to produce any genuinely productive actions.
“I can’t recall anyone talking about it being just a symbolic act / sending of a message. ”
Mark, by your account, those who spoke in the debate seem to have spent a lot of time emotionally exploring their version of the problem and no time at all defending this particular measure as an actual solution. If they can’t tell me (a) exactly what the problem is they want to solve and (b) why this particular measure will solve it then we’re in sending-message territory, whether you like it or not. Joe Otten’s blog post reinforces you – he says that one speaker after another got up and talked about how terrible body fascism was, as if there was a risk people might not realise that, if that was the point at issue rather than whether this was the right thing to do about it. However, the only first hand experience of opinions I have on this are in the comments on this article and on Bernard’s piece yesterday – where what I say still stands. Many of those who defended it did so because of “women power corporations anorexia horrible equality pressure media” [rearrange words and insert verbs as you wish].
What I want is “this problem exists in the media, we have figures that show it results in X number of eating disorder cases and mental health problems which would not otherwise have arisen, the problem can be ring-fenced and eliminated by means of this measure.” Otherwise it’s just what I said – message-sending. And of course, no-one could come up with the chain of causality I’ve just suggest, because the problem is just so much more complicated than that (and I do hope someone responds to the only person on this thread with actual first-hand experience of mental health work).
Alix: I think you can watch the speeches via the party’s uStream channel at The exact arguments obviously varied between speakers, but the general tone was one of “this isn’t going to solve the problem on its own, but it will help”. I don’t pretend to be able to get inside the minds of them all and know why speakers spent so much time on setting out that they think there is a serious problem to be fixed, but”.
(I’ve also updated the post to add a link to Lynne’s speech at the end of the debate which Alex Folkes filmed.)
I thought the idea was to convince everyone that the Lib Dems aren’t an unelectable laughing stock.
Guess I must have missed a press release.
Mark, this just gets worse!
”.”
If it is as you suspect, maybe the speakers in question should try to tell the difference in future between a legislative forum and having a rant in the pub, because this is something I tend to require of legislators. This is why we think Dan Hannan is basically an idiot, remember?
“but the general tone was one of “this isn’t going to solve the problem on its own, but it will help”.”
So we ARE getting shitty headlines for very little reason then!
Alix: most speakers in most debates proposing an action have to make a decision about how much time to spend on the question of whether it’s trying to address an issue that needs addressing and how much time to spend on the question of whether the action would work. Given how frequently people question the former online, I’m not surprised if some speakers decided to weight their speeches more towards the former. That’s nothing about legislative forums vs rant in pub. It’s about trying to guess what the audience will be concerned about.
On the other point, I don’t think you should be so dismissive of policies that are partial solutions to problems. Think of anti-crime policies for example. There isn’t one magic wand the cures crime on its own, so the only policies it’s possible to have are ones that offer partial solutions.
Well I see going to a family gathering for the day has left me somewhat behind the times. ‘fraid I’m replying to that rant though, it was aimed at me and covers most of the bases other people are covering. Well James R has a lovely ‘appeal to authority’ but hell, if you’re going to ignore an actual argument by labeling it strawman you can’t expect me to respond to logical fallacies.
@Alix’s huge rant.
First up please don’t put words in my mouth, it’s rude. I’m not against ‘your group’ nor even ‘you’ I’m vaguely in favor of a Policy which you’re disagreeing with. Nice of you to make it personal an all, I mean gosh, I don’t even warrant capitalization and spacing in my name now? I think I might break down here. <>
Since it is clearly a pointless discussion if I’m not even reading your posts I’ll re-phrase the anti-arguments so you can correct me if I’m way off the mark or missing some aspect of your position.
1) You do not think legislation curtailing the freedom of corporations is effective because governments are slow and plodding and corporations are not (see tax codes), thus the policy will have no effect as the nimble companies will dodge it.
2) You do not like banning things because it is inherently illiberal & curbing peoples liberty is not what we’re about.
3) Whilst you dislike the ‘shopping of images as much as anyone. You are of the view that you got over your insecurities thanks to intelligence and education and they can do the same.
4) In order to facilitate this you would like to modify the behavior of businesses and those who manipulate photos for them through some voluntary market based ‘financial incentive’ also lobbying.
5) You do not think that the policy will sufficiently reduce the number or severity of the offending manipulated images.
6) You do not think it is ever really a good idea for the Lib Dem party to ban things because it generates bad PR.
Did I miss any? Assuming not, my ‘strawman’ is a refutation of (2) this was because I believed I had already refuted (4) and (3) is merely an argument for other action rather than a good reason to avoid this action. I have to admit I did not realize you were trying to argue (1), (5) & (6) prior to the huge rant, my bad.
Lets try again!
3) I totally agree with you, in an ideal world we would see everyone educated such that these images did not move them. Cultural change to make these adverts unacceptable to the advertisers and consumers would prevent them ever being made far more effectively than regulation.
Other parts of the paper tried to address this directly, but, it in no way precludes the use of regulation to attack the problem from both sides and so more quickly change the socially accepted norms. If advertisers are forced to consider the legality of their adverts directed at children whilst they’re being educated upon the evils they’re undertaking I think the culture will change faster.
The supporting evidence from this come from the smoking ban, much as I disagree with it I can’t argue that it has changed the behavior of people far faster than simply trying to educate them. I suspect that now no one is smoking in pubs the cultural norms will change faster and we can repeal the ban.
1) Whilst governments are slow and plodding there are examples of similar legislation which the companies have failed to avoid. Tax laws are hideously complex and administered by the book. This policy is very simple and the ASA has more flexibility in applying the rules. 37 years ago health warnings were introduced on cigarette packets, in all that time have the cigarette companies managed to dodge the regulation? No, in fact, in all that time the warnings have become more pronounced.
2) Yes this policy is illiberal in that it reduces freedom. BUT, it only applies to a very narrow set of people in a commercial setting. This is not a reduction in ‘free speech’ because adverts are not speech, it is not even a limit on communication except when directed at children (outside of that you can still ‘say’ anything provided you explain that you’re ‘lying’).
Hence “I really don’t understand why you guys are coming down so much in favor on the rights and freedoms of business to mislead and manipulate”.
Given the VAST numbers of people in the anti crowd who’s main argument is ‘banning stuff is illiberal’ this is not a strawman. The refutation is “I’m in favor of liberty for everyone where it doesn’t impinge on other peoples” not ranty ad-hom’s. I presume you resort to ranty ad-homs because it’s obvious this DOES impinge on other peoples liberty.
4) Here’s were we get to the youtube links and your failing to read my arguments whilst complaining I do the same.
The crux of your argument for alternative action rests upon the ability of lobbying to achieve the same reduction in negative ads being run. The relevance of the two adverts is this:
* Dove have for some time run an ad campaign focused on “Real Women”.
* As a result Dove will have far more data on the effectiveness of this campaign
* However, Dove is really just a brand of Uniliever,
* Unilever have not rolled the “Real Women” campaign out to their other brands.
Thus, the people with the most information to know if it’s a good idea are of the view that their cosmetic products will not be well served by a “Real Women” advertising campaign. IF I were to follow your suggestion and go to a cosmetics company and say:
“Hi, look at how successful Doves ‘Real Women’ campaign is, shouldn’t you copy it?”
D’ya think they might not notice that the company who’s running the campaign hasn’t rolled it out for their own cosmetic products?
5) This is quite hard to disprove because we’re in the realms of psychology, however you seem to be of the prevailing western view that people take on concepts through rational thought. The girls computer like brain will see a single photoshopped images on the mags cover (not a advert) and BAM! suddenly she instantly assimilates the concept that this is normal beauty and she must conform to this.
We’re kinda outside the scope of a LibDem voice comment here but persuasion & advertising doesn’t work like this (pity, we could get away with a single focus delivery per voter). Basically with a huge amount of repetition & likely with little conscious thought the concepts of ‘normal beauty’ will move. Yes, the policy would not prevent all girls from having self esteem issues. But, it doesn’t really curtail much in the way of liberty & it could well have a positive impact as well as helping change culturally accepted norms. I mean most images in a girls mag are going to be photoshopped and probably at most half will be adverts, so it’s not like anyone is expecting this to be a panacea but it will probably help and any kind of panacea would involve actually curtailing freedom of artistic (rather than commercial) expression.
6) Couldn’t agree more, in my opinion the clause should’ve simply regulated for the advisory rather than the ban. Not only is this better PR wise there would still be vast numbers of ‘shopped images viewed by the poor kiddies so giving them the information to say ‘thats fake’ is more plausible than protecting them.
Sadly your rabid anti-regulation friends decided that they’d remove any kind of legislation for photoshopping so the option was ‘vote for sweet FA or vote for a ban’.
Incidentally I can’t find a more authoritative source than wikipedia but EU regulations on children’s TV advertising coming into effect end of 2009 apparently ban adverts which aim to exploit children’s naivety so looks like something similar may become law fairly soon anyway.

Mexican rapper Kap G has been dropping hot joints but the song that has had a big impact on his career is the wifey-stealing anthem “Girlfriend.” The XXL Freshman revealed on his Instagram that his break-out song has now gone Gold, meaning it has sold over 500,000 copies. A great accomplishment for the Atlanta rapper to add to his resumé.
After revealing the information on his Instagram, Kap-G just captioned it “Platinum next” with prayer hands and arms raised emoji. The song about girlfriend-snatching has clearly been popular amongst most people as his Soundcloud plays on the song are over 38.2 Million hits. In addition to the mass amount of streams on his hit single, the song has also has an official remix with Ty Dolla $ign and as well as Migos’ Quavo, which goes equally as hard as the originally.
Along with gaining a gold plaque, that isn’t the only big announcement he made. He also announced that he’ll have his song featured on the next NBA 2K18 soundtrack.
Kap G has been making some serious moves and music this past year. With the release of his mixtape SupaJefe, he’s been pushing the tape hard.
He’s also currently on his own headlining tour SupaJefe tour for the rest of the month in the United States. |
Newsmax."
While after it became clear that the author -- a British former security contractor whose real name is Dylan Davies -- had apparently lied about being at the scene of the September 2012 assault.
Some critics have questioned how Threshold could have published such a story in the first place without verifying it. But according to publishing veterans, there are few safeguards to prevent such a failure in an industry that provides only minimal review and fact-checking. Without in-house fact-checkers at most publishing houses, authors themselves typically bear the sole responsibility for the accuracy of their work.
"As a general course of business, publishers do not conduct a thorough fact-check on most of their books," said Sloan Harris, a literary agent at ICM Talent who represents New Yorker veterans Jane Mayer and Ken Auletta. "A number of our prominent authors will, in fact, employ an outside fact-checker at their own expense."
But such fact-checking arrangements are far from mandatory or routine.
Harris explained, "publishers are already under huge market pressures and seem to be overworked every year, adding another function to their obligation is not a likely outcome at this point."
Threshold, a conservative imprint of the CBS publishing division Simon & Schuster, announced last week that the Davies book would no longer be for sale following the revelation that the author had told a dramatically different story to the FBI and his employer than he provided in the book. Davies' co-author Damien Lewis reportedly issued a statement saying:
If there are inconsistencies in the events as told in The Embassy House and Mr. Davies's previous renderings of the story, Mr. Davies needs to answer those inconsistencies. Those who were injured on the night of Benghazi 9/11 deserve to know the truth, as do the families of those who lost their lives.
But so far, that truth has yet to be provided, and Threshold does not seem in a hurry to explain it. The publisher has not responded to requests for comment or an explanation about how it vetted Davies, if the book was fact-checked, or what is being done to investigate how a book largely based on lies of its author could be approved.
Editors and agents who spoke with Media Matters agree that non-fiction book authors have the leeway to write what they wish without editors seeking to verify their claims. In the case of authors like Davies, who apparently choose to fabricate their stories, the lack of accountability can be devastating to publishers, journalists, and readers.
"It's true that it is up to the author a lot of the time," said Barry Harbaugh, a veteran editor at Harper Collins. Citing a biography of the cyclist Lance Armstrong he is editing, Harbaugh noted, "We made sure the author hired a fact-checker."
A former magazine fact-checker, Harbaugh recalled his surprise when he first arrived at the publishing house and discovered "there is not a full-time fact-checker here in the way that there is at most big magazines."
The New York Times reported today that Fox News president Roger Ailes is identified in affidavits as the News Corp. executive who allegedly encouraged one of his colleagues to lie to federal investigators who were vetting Bernard Kerik's nomination to lead the Department of Homeland Security:.
The Times further reported:.):
For something to be "patently false" it must actually be false and not demonstrably true. Unfortunately for Rasmussen and Schoen, the later happens to be the case.

An EastEnders extra allegedly bludgeoned an 86-year-old widow to death with a hammer in her own home before stealing irreplaceable jewellery she later sold for just £61, a court has heard.
Karen Williamson, 46, allegedly beat Jean âPatâ Jobson so fiercely the weaponâs head broke off and so she carried on her attack with jug.
The victim was left with multiple skull fractures that caused it to collapse.
She was found two days later having been reported missing by her family, who were concerned her routine had changed and her phone was permanently off the hook.
Mrs Jobsonâs jewellery, including her late husbandâs marriage ring on a chain she wore around her neck, and purse were stolen and later sold for just £61, it was said.
The court heard the attack began during a row Ms Williamson was having with Mrs Jobson over gardening work she was paid up front for but had not properly completed.
The prosecution also alleged the âcrack-addictedâ actress âconfessed to others, including her friend and a prison guard, revealing details of the incident âonly the murderer could have knownâ.
Prosecutor Brian Altman QC said: âThe manner of the killing of this elderly woman in the sanctity of her own home defies belief because of its nature and savagery.â
Ms Williamson denies murdering Mrs Jobson in Downham, near Bromley in Kent in February last year. The trial at The Old Bailey continues. |

Moments Of Truth: 6 Memoirs Written With Heart.
I wasn't always a memoir reader, but in recent years, as I have grown older (and more wistful), I find myself longing to commune with others' memories. Reading memoir pushes the mind to confront another's actual, lived experience, and in doing so, reflect on one's own. Plus, in the hands of a beautiful writer, nothing tears at the heart like something true.
Last summer, Cheryl Strayed's Wild became a hit — a memoir so intense that it caused me to weep on a subway in front of a gaggle of strangers. This year's fresh crop of true-life tales are just as engrossing. (Hint: Throw some tissues in your beach bag.) Enjoy your vacation meditations!

Shout out to the 70 y/o waitress auntie who was really friendly and exceptional.

Ala Carte Premium Lunch Buffet Totally worth your penny with the 1 for 1 deal. Menu was rather extensive, with fruits, ice cream and mochi which most Jap buffet places do not. I was there because my partner was only into sashimi. Variety and freshness of sashimi could be better.

In general, there are two types of advertising, namely traditional advertising and digital advertising. Traditional advertising is suitable for businesses targeting local consumers. Then, what is ott advertising type to attracts consumers to come and buy goods to the location of the businessman?
Unlike digital advertising. Such a marketing strategy will expand the reach of the business. Even if you want, you can reach 132 million users on the internet through digital advertising. If you are still using traditional advertising, of course, this is very difficult to realize. It is possible, but you need a lot of money.
Traditional advertising relies heavily on paper (brochures, posters, etc.). As a result, the costs incurred are quite expensive. In addition, you also have to spend more if you want to expand. To illustrate, you have to spend money on redesigning, reprinting, and distributing. It is much more economical to use digital advertising. The marketing media is the internet, through google pages or social media. If you want to expand, simply redesign the content and then change the target segment. Your ad is ready to be distributed again. |

Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp
During this time, I started to search out other brands and came across one called PrimaLuna. I have watched their videos and seen them compared to ARC equipment. Their build quality seems to be superior to ARC and the reviews are over the top. I am looking at their Dialogue Premium HP amp and their Dialogue Premium pre-amp. For what they cost, considering how they are built and supposedly sound compared to units costing 3 to 4 times their price, they almost seem too good to be true. Anyway, my bubble has been burst, and in simple terms, I am considering jumping ship and going with another company instead of ARC, despite all those years of drooling and waiting.
My main question is this, is there anyone out there that either owns PrimaLuna or has had experience with the equipment and can give me their opinion on owning and using it. Then, my second question is how does PrimaLuna really compare to other high end equipment such as ARC. Kevin Deal in his videos on PrimaLuna makes a very compelling case for the equipment. In one video, he compares an ARC LS17SE to the PrimaLuna pre-amp.
My last question is in regards to my ARC VS115 amp problems. Anyone have an opinion on what is going on with my amp or a VS115 in general. For those of you who want to know what else is in my system, I am using KEF 104ab speakers, a Cambridge Azur 752BD Blu-ray player as my CD player, Morrow Audio Cables and I am considering getting the Sony HAP-Z1ES music player for my digital files.
I greatly appreciate all who take the time to comment and give their opinions. I will be glad to answer any questions you may ask or provide additional. Thanks for your help. Steve. |
I know several people who participate in fantasy football leagues. I just never got into that sort of thing. I really have no interest investing so much time and energy into football. For those of you not familiar with fantasy football, points are earned based on how well one's fantasy team players perform each week. It's a pretty big deal for some. Participants draft players, trade players, decide which players to start and which to bench and they even act as legal representation when their players get in trouble for injecting illegal substances, abusing their wives and/or organizing dog fighting rings.
But I really do like a little competition. I certainly invest plenty of time and energy into diabetes and my knowledge of the disease is fairly good. What if we had our very own fantasy league? A fantasy league for diabetes. Well, look no further.
I'm happy to announce that the inaugural season of the Fantasy Diabetes League (FDL), begins now, and you're all a part of it. That is, for a small registration fee of $25 made out to Carey Potash. You know, for general operating expenses such as FDL stationary, shot glasses, helmets and such.
Alright, I'm joking about the registration fee, but I'm quite serious about the league. The idea is simple. You earn 3 points every time you receive a ridiculous comment or question related to diabetes. Then, bonus points are awarded according to that person's profession.
For example, a few months ago, I was donating blood and chatting with a Red Cross technician about Charlie and diabetes, when she asked if he would outgrow the disease. In this scenario, I would receive 3 points for the ridiculous question and another 3 bonus points since it came from a person in the medical field, giving me a total of 6. See point table below.
The 2007/2008 winter season begins right now and ends on National Banana Bread Day - Feb. 23 (of course!). As commissioner of the FDL, I'm prohibited from participating, but I will maintain a list of the point leaders and post the results semi-often. All you need to do is email me at [email protected] with your ridiculous diabetes comments and questions and the guilty party's occupation and you'll have a chance to win , ooh crap, didn't think that far. Hold on, let me see what I have on me. Hang on , checking my pockets.
Ah, here we go. The winner will receive one lewd picture drawn by Charlie that appears to be a giant squid peeing on a scuba diver and a $10 gift card to Starbucks. I will also accept ridiculous comments and questions that you've received in the last couple of months.
So, the next time someone says something absurd about diabetes, don't roll your eyes and get mad. Think of the points you're earning.
Ooh, almost forgot. One-eyed Jacks and suicide kings are wild.
Good luck.

Carey,
You never cease to make me laugh. I can get started right away with the response from dingbat RN that Riley did not have to take any insulin after eating ice cream because it was sugar-free.
Can I count points toward a comment said to me 5 years ago? A mom at the kids' gymnastics class started chatting me up and when the subject of Brendon having diabetes came up, she said "Wow, he looks so healthy!" She was an occupational therapist who worked with a lot of diabetics who had amputations and were generally unhealthy.
Niiice.
Shannon: 5 years is a long time. I'll have to meet with the FDL's board of governors and get back to you. Nice comment.
What about endocrinologist?

Must-See: the most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe
On Christmas Eve, ancient European cities are permeated with a fairy-tale atmosphere. But Christmas markets are traditionally considered to be the holiday’s epicenter. The streets are decorated with welcoming garlands, shopping stalls are filled with souvenirs, and the magic aromas of roasted meat, sausages and bakery are in the air. Christmas markets become a place for musicians’ performances, street carnivals and fun.
Travellizy recommends visiting one of the European street marketplaces on winter holidays, in order to fully experience the Christmas spirit.
Christmas festivities in Vienna, Austria
At the time of New Year holidays, Vienna changes and even gets younger. In the evening, the city is illuminated by thousands of garlands lights, as if Vienna itself is going to a ball. The city becomes merry and mischievous not only for one evening, but for a whole month. The liveliest Christmas market of the city is located on the square in front of the City Hall. There are hundreds of cinnamon cakes, a hot punch, and flavorful meat is smoking on spits. The Christmas markets tradition in Vienna dates back to 1294. In those days, the market had a practical goal: to help a citizen buy food for the winter. Slowly, the custom turned into a beautiful tradition.
Exclusive souvenir market in Cologne, Germany
The Christmas market at the Cologne Cathedral is considered as one of the most beautiful in Europe. And the market at Neumarkt Square is the oldest one. It is called the Angel's Market, as they establish little fairy-tale houses. On this street holiday, you can buy unique pieces - souvenirs, clothes and toys, handmade by German masters; they do not sell goods from big stores here. Each gift is unique.
Gourmet Paradise in Brussels, Belgium
The Brussels Christmas Market at the Grand Place (Central Square) is considered as a gathering place for gourmets. You can taste spicy veal sausage with truffles, oysters and Escargot grapes snails, fried potatoes with mussels and boar meat with a glass of excellent beer. Hot mulled wine and punch are also served at the stalls here, and children can enjoy Belgian chocolate and jam.
A fairy-tale Market in Prague, Czech Republic
Prague's biggest market takes place on the Old Town Square. On the morning of December 2, in the center of the square, they light a luxurious Christmas tree, entwined with 5 kilometers of garlands. The tree is decorated with thousands of balls and toys and also is a piece of art. They turn on the Christmas tree lights every evening from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. In different parts of the square, the Christmas nativity scenes are set up, theatrical performances start in the evening.
Fun before Christmas in Tallinn, Estonia
A colorful story takes place at the Tallinn Town Hall Square. For six centuries, they have been building shopping stalls around Christmas, which are used for selling handmade souvenirs, local honey and hot wine. From food, try roasted pork knuckle with sauerkraut, elk stew and salted fish on black rye bread. Every evening, open ensemble performances are given at the square, and they create a special Christmas spirit.
Carefree holiday in Stockholm, Sweden
Holiday decorations give comfort and colors to gray winter Stockholm. The market is located in the center of the Old Town - at Stortorget Square near the Royal Palace. The shopping stalls are decorated with live Christmas trees, gnomes and bright red poinsettia flowers. A warming glögg with almonds, dried fruit and spices is worth trying, as well as local Marabou chocolate.
Fountain Show in Copenhagen, Denmark
After sunset, come see Tivoli Gardens, one of Europe’s oldest amusement parks, in order to feel the Christmas spirit at Copenhagen’s most famous market. In the evening, you can watch the fountain show there: dancing water jets in laser beams to the Nutcracker Suite. Trees are entwined with kilometers of Christmas garlands. There is also an ice rink there. And visitors can be warmed with mulled wine and hot apple dumplings. |
Thanksgiving is almost here and pie is a must! This was a basic pie crust I found online that had a very floury taste to it, so I gave it some sprucing up and it came out really tasty! I think this can get used on just about any pie. I used it for an apple pie and will give pumpkin pie a try later. And not only is this gluten-free, but it’s also dairy free too.
Ingredients:. If you do think it’s too crumbly though, add some more water. 4 tbs was perfect for mine.
Press it into your pie pan and bake at 400 for 3 minutes. If you aren’t ready to pour in your pie filling, put it aside and bake it just before adding the filling. You can even make the crust ahead of time and put it in the fridge while you prepare the filling. |

>Well...!
These are all interesting or useful answers, but they don't seem to
address
the real meat of Mrs. Bartle's question. The question is how to respond
to
a moral question, and Mr. Grays responsess are all answers about the
practical
aspect of what is happening. While these are, I repeat, useful answers,
they
dodge the center of the question. Let me try to respond in a more direct
fashion
to the center of the moral question.
The question that is asked is:
To what extent do I have a duty to promote public education...
And the unstated part of the question is:
at the cost of my own children's education?
The answer to this question depends on several factors, among which are:
to whom you are talking, your ideas on duty in general, how nice you want
to be, and your vision of what the public schools actually do and are
for.
John Taylor Gatto, and a whole tradition of educators, will argue that
the public schools are not only dangerous/damaging to children, but also
constructed not to educate, but to engineer obedient citizens. However,
this extreme viewpoint is not very likely to be accepted by anyone not
already familiar with anti-schooling literature.
Ayn Rand would argue that you have no duty to public education, even
without taking into account that any duty you assume is actually damaging
your kids. However, her moral theory is not liked by very many people,
and is contrary the moral position of most of the people in this country.
A friend of mine argues that schools are prisons, except that in prisons
they don't make you read books written by the wardens. Again, if the
person to whom you are talking doesn't already share this viewpoint, then
this can be offensive.
So, let me try to present a calm, quiet answer that isn't likely to
offend anyone:
To whatever extent we have a duty to promote the education of the public,
this is only a part of a more general duty to make the world a better
place to live in. It is my contention that if we wish to make the world
a better place to live in, we need adults who have learned to think for
themselves, who have learned to decide for themselves what is important
in life, and who disagree with the notion that authority is necessarily
right, or to be obeyed. The public schools, as they exist now, do
violence to each of these attitudes in each of their students. As such,
it is a greater duty to society to take children out of the schools, and
permit them to learn these important ideas, than to leave them in the
schools, and have them lose these values along with all the other
students.
Ok...so it's short on the not offending anyone end...but that's the
strongest direction of argument I have against the schools.

Wadding 'doles' out under fire fire fighters
The retainer fees of County Wexford's firemen need to be protected from consideration by the Department of Social Protection, according to Cllr Deirdre Wadding.
Cllr Wadding said: 'Some fire fighters who have put their lives on the line for the community are surviving on less than minimum wage and are having to leave jobs that would not allow them the flexibility to be on call. They are then penalised by the Department of Social Protection because of the retainer. We urge the new government to end this penury for our frontline workers.'
Cllr Wadding said there is a gap between fire fighters who have three years stamps and those who have come in. 'They are penalised for being in the fire service.'
Cllr Malcolm Byrne said he supported the motion in principal. He said there are a number of categories of workers, county councillors included, who could be classified as being on a retainer. 'If you single out one category of workers it's a difficult argument to make. I am very supportive of fire fighters but I am worried about singling out one group.'
Director of Services John Carley said this was a matter for the Department of Social Protection, adding that fire fighters know the condition of their employment when they start the job. Mr Carley said they deserve praise for the work they do. The motion was carried.

Jaromir Jagr set the mark for the fastest tally in the KHL on Tuesday when he scored just 38 seconds into Avangard Omsk’s game against Metallurg Novokuznetsk. He bettered that mark before the record book could even be updated when he gave Avangard a 1-0 lead a mere 31 seconds into Avangard’s second of two consecutive games against Amur Khabarovsk on Friday. It was his first of two goals in the game, and helped the Hawks stretch interim coach Igor Nikitin’s undefeated record to five with a 4-3 victory, catapulting the team into third place in the league — after they wallowed near the bottom of the table just over a week ago.
After seeing their team get shut out 4-0 by the Hawks on Thursday, Khabarovsk fans must have felt they were experiencing déjà vu on Friday as Omsk once again roared out to a 4-0 lead, all before ten and a half minutes had passed in the game. Alexei Cherepanov, who finished third in voting in Sportbox.ru’s player of the week poll this week, gave Avangard a 2-0 lead at 8:17 by batting the puck past starting goalie Sergei Borisov with the shaft of his stick as he was being flattened from behind in the crease. After a lengthy video review, the goal, which Soviet Sport described as a “small hockey masterpiece”, was allowed to stand. That may have been a slight overstatement, but you can judge for yourself by watching the highlights at the bottom of this post.
Thursday’s starter Taylor Moss was called from the the Khabarovsk bench to replace Borosov after Jagr scored his second of the game and seventh of the season just twenty four seconds later. But even Moss couldn’t stem the tide right away, getting beaten by an even strength Anton Kuryanov tally less than two minutes later.
But unlike Thursday, Moss’ teammates mounted a comeback, starting with a power play goal at 11:45 that beat a screened Alexander Fomichev in the Avangard net. Tempers flared just 3:15 later when Jacob Klepis hit an Amur defenseman hard along the half boards inside the Khabarovsk zone. Moss flew from his net to his teammate’s defense, and within seconds everyone else had joined in. Ultimately only Klepish and Maxim Yushkov paired off and dropped their gloves to fight, while Jagr played peacemaker, pacifying the Canadian goaltender.
The hit and subsequent rough stuff inspired Khabarovsk, and they used the 2-minute power play that resulted from the original hit to make it 4-2 at 15:48. Then, in the first minute of the second period, they cut the deficit down to just one with an even strength goal from Oleg Belkin. But that was as close as they would come. Belkin had the opportunity to tie things up when he was awarded a penalty shot at 4:49 into the period after he was hauled down during a partial breakaway, but Fomichev thwarted his attempt, as he did all other opportunities Khabarovsk had in the game. Moss too stopped everything he faced the rest of the way; his 21 saves on 22 shots earned him second star of the game. Cherepanov, who played 17:02 minutes in 19 shifts, was named 3rd star, while Jagr, not surprisingly, was awarded the first star of the game.
Friday’s game was the last the team will play under undefeated interim coach Nikitin, since new head coach Wayne Fleming, who’s contract has been finalized and will take him through the end of the current season, arrives in Omsk on Sunday. Fleming will lead his first practice on Monday morning and take his place behind the bench for the first time later that day in a home game against HK MVD. Meanwhile, Czech coach Miloslav Gorzhava, who was expected to serve as an assistant to Fleming, will not be joining the Siberian side after all. Contractual issues with his Czech team are said to be at fault, but one has to wonder if Nikitin’s undefeated record since taking over for former head coach Sergei Gersonsky influenced a change of heart. Nikitin will server as Senior Coach under Fleming. Current assistant coach Sergei Khramtsov will stay on in his current role.

With donations now totalling £15 million it remains to raise another £4.25 million to reach the ultimate target so any support is welcome. Much work has begun and I enjoyed a fascinating tour of The Winchester Bible recently. This twelfth-century illuminated Bible is currently undergoing conservation and rebinding volume by volume. It will then be moved to the south transept at ground level where it will be accessible to all.
The Birth of a Nation exhibition
The Birth of a Nation exhibition will focus on the six mortuary chests. Much interesting study has already been done on these chests and advice will be taken as to how best to conserve them. Four chests date from approximately 1525. After damage in 1642 by the Parliamentary army, two more chests were made in 1661 and work on them continued thereafter. Modern forensic technology will hopefully resolve questions about the contents of the chests and our early English kings.
The Learning Centre will be sited behind Number 9 The Close and will provide excellent facilities for children and groups. A modern Apothecary’s Garden, complete with Apothecary’s Rose, is to be created alongside.
The Presbytery roof has to be replaced to prevent puddles and further water damage. Much conservation of timbers and windows containing medieval glass is scheduled during the next four years. The is so much to be tackled in this wonderful challenge.
I do urge you to see for yourselves what is going on in this historic building.

Vacation is the time to unwind and relax but it does not mean that you need to drain all your savings just to enjoy a good vacation. Next time you book your vacation using online using any apple desktop computers; you may want to remember these money-saving tips:
- Don’t forget to rent a car. It may seem to be expensive but it will definitely cost you less instead of using your own vehicle. More often than not, car rental is more affordable compare to the cost of airport shuttle service.
- Do not forget to use your discount coupons, whether it is for your food or lodging- you can still get good savings in using these coupons.
- Do not forget to bring your own stroller too. Rental of a stroller would cost you around $10-$15 per day; you can actually use that money elsewhere.
- Check out for multi-day passes offered in attraction or amusement parks. This is definitely a good deal because you can use it anytime you want.
- You can spend at least a day away from the attractions by utilizing the hotel swimming pool. You have paid for these amenities and you might as well enjoy it too.

Renting a car is a good tip, but still be very careful in choosing a car for rental there are also factors to consider like , does the car uses excessive gas or are there any defects to occur in the time of the usage?
I have to agree with you on this Donna. We have to consider many factors for the car rental.
I love using discount coupons. Truly one of the best ways to save during the vacation 🙂 |
If one were to travel to all the places in this package, they would have to get 26 flights, spend 81 hours in an airplane and burn through 56,000 km. You’d better pick an airline with a good on-board menu.
Then, after disembarking, you would have to drive around 70 more hours and cover extra 3,850 km. Sadly, desolated locations are rarely at the vicinity of an airport.
Be that as it may, Decay Archive 13 is no exception when it comes to quality and exclusivity:
The most exciting Desolated Locations were photographed here by one of the best decay specialists of our time, with one of the best cameras available today. Our task was minimized to converting these massive 80 megapixel files in the best way possible, free from sensor dust (yes, Desolated Locations are sometimes dusty). And today, we deliver those files via our high-end servers.
We really do not know what we could improve – except maybe the upcoming 16-bit Tiff upgrade, but that’s another issue.
Just like the 12 Decay Archives before, Decay Archive 13 is a collection of compositing backgrounds that leave nothing to be desired. The files allow high-resolution crops, the exposure is always perfect and – well – the choice of “objects” is beyond any doubt.

Hello, I would like to present my project here too, because I think this information will be interesting for Wine developers. At least, I have not seen anyone gone that far using Wine code. I came up with an idea to create an alternative Win32 subsystem, which would be targeted to NT-alike OSes: Windows NT family and of course ReactOS, based on Wine as much as possible. Detailed presentation with explanations is attached, along with links to some more information. Briefly, what I did: gdi32.dll - source code is nearly unmodified from Wine, but compiled in ReactOS tree, into a real PE DLL. user32.dll - source code is nearly unmodified from Wine, but compiled in ReactOS tree, into a real PE DLL. What about Wineserver, you would ask? SERVER_START_REQ and related macros are rewritten to perform a syscall to win32k.sys (more about win32k.sys below). Server protocol is the same, but of course many requests aren't need. winex11.drv - this is the one if you want X Server to be your interface. This is unchanged Wine source code, again compiled inside a ReactOS source tree into a PE DLL winent.drv - an alternative user/gdi driver, which mostly forwards all calls into a kernel mode graphics engine located in win32k.sys (which is compatible with Windows video drivers, so all acceleration could be used). win32k.sys - kernelmode counterpart of the new Win32 subsystem, contains graphics engine, user server which is based on a small part of platform-independent Wineserver source code adapted to kernelmode, and a simple window manager which calculates visible regions for windows and manages window showing/hiding. All other parts are used from the host OS (be it Windows, or ReactOS). The most funny thing is that this subsystem actually started to work! (I attached a few screenshots in the presentation). There are still some bugs making Arwinss not really usable at the moment, but I'm inviting all developers to participate and help me bring it to a fully usable condition, so that it supports at least all apps which Wine supports plus those which Wine doesn't support due to problems in other parts. The presentation: (links to source code and further information are in the presentation) With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin. |
