David Beckham has reportedly been branded "thick" by New Zealand's Prime Minister.
John Key was today said to have insulted the football ace while talking to schoolkids.
LA Galaxy star Becks visited the country to play in an exhibition match in December 2008, when Mr Key had just been elected.
The PM told pupils at St Hilda's Collegiate in Dunedin that his son Max had spent 45 minutes with Beckham, 37.
Key said the star was handsome and a very nice guy to spend that long with his son but is said to have joked he was "thick as bat s**t".
Key also tweeted a photo of himself meeting the pupils today.
Beckham's agent refused to comment but a source close to the dad of four said if the story was true the insult was "pathetic".
The source added: "For someone supposedly thick, David has done pretty well to have become one of the world's most successful footballers and to be part of the bid to bring the Olympics to London.
"That doesn't sound like someone thick to me."
Beckham and Spice Girl wife Victoria, 38, who is also a fashion designer, have amassed an estimated fortune of £160million between them.
They live in Los Angeles with their sons Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, Cruz, seven, and 15-month-old daughter Harper.
Beckham spent several days in New Zealand with LA Galaxy in 2008 before they faced the Oceania All Stars and beat them 3-0.
The superstar had received a traditional Maori nose-rubbing "hongi" welcome in Auckland and also did a 130ft bungee jump while there.
Mr Key, a father of two who has British heritage, was elected in November 2008.
A former foreign exchange dealer, he has come under fire for several gaffes.
In 2010 he was criticised for joking about being eaten by members of New Zealand's Maori population.
His office declined to comment on the Beckham claims.

Repowering With a Purpose
Belgium Diesel Engine Manufacturer Provides Main Engine for Alaska Fishing Vessel.
When the owners of the fishing pollock trawler, Great Pacific decided they needed to purchase a new main engine to replace their MAN B&W Alpha 10V23L-VO they took a hard look at all the engine manufacturers currently on the market that could support their needs. "Our goal was to find an engine that offers superior fuel and lube oil consumption; that had its EPA Tier III Certification and had domestic parts and service." When the investigation was over and the dust cleared, Alaska Boat Company was the proud owner of a 6DZC from Anglo Belgian Corporation Diesel (ABC Diesel), the first time this engine was used to power a commercial fishing boat in the United States.
The Basics on ABC
"To be honest, I had never heard of ABC" said Chris Kline, General Manager of Alaska Boat Company, the owner the Great Pacific. "But once you start hearing of an all mechanical, EPA Tier III engine that out performs the competition … you start listening a little harder and you want to learn more about the option."
Kline listened and learned and found out that Anglo Belgian Corporation has been manufacturing diesel engines since 1912 and is headquartered in Gent, Belgium. The company has a century of engine-building expertise, founded in 1912 by a group of Belgian entrepreneurs soon after building the first licensed Rudolf Diesel engine. With a reputation of building robust and simple engines, with low fuel and lubricating oil consumption it's perhaps no surprise ABC has to its credit more than 1,750 installations worldwide. The DZC engine that is installed in the Great Pacific can run on diesel, heavy fuel or bio fuels; as well as a dual fuel execution. Available in a 6 and 8-cylinder inline or 12 and 16-cylinder vee configuration, operating from 600 rpm to 1,000 rpm, the engine produces up to 5,435hp. All engines are individually tested at the factory with option of the presence of the client and possibility of all major classifications.
"The beautiful thing about working on an ABC engine is that everything is mechanical, which is ideal for a fishing vessel and its crew," stated Justin Roeser, Operations Manager for Seattle-based Transmarine Propulsion Systems, Inc. (TMPS), ABC Diesel's North American representative. "Everything is controlled by a mechanical component, which in the very near future this will no longer exist; wrenches will be swapped with laptops."
Engine Reliability a Must for Bering Sea Operations
The Great Pacific is one of six boats in a fleet that is managed by the Alaska Boat Company. The Great Pacific predominately fishes for Pollock in the Bering Sea and delivers her catch to Dutch Harbor. Fishing seasons are split into A and B seasons. Fishing trips average from 2 to 4 days. When fishing is good, especially in 'A' season when the roe is ripe, it is imperative to turn the vessel around quickly to take advantage of these conditions. And, because the Great Pacific sails with a crew of just 5, simplicity of operation and a high degree of reliability from the engineroom is imperitive.
The Great Pacific is an all welded steel hull with a raked bow with moderate flare. The hull is single chined with dead rise from the keel outboard. The bottom plating sweeps up to a sloped transom and bulwarks. An eight foot wide stern ramp is on centerline. The main deck has straight shear with camber. There is a full width raised foc'sle forward. An aluminum house is attached to the steel foc'sle deck with explosion bonded DuPont bi-metal connection. An A-frame style mast is forward with a trawl gantry aft.
Foreign Built for Domestic Convenience
TMPS is also ideal for Alaska Boat Company because of its West Coast, Seattle, WA location. TMPS also has a facility in Tampa, Florida and both provide sales, field service and spare parts inventories to meet the urgent demands of customers. This alleviates the headaches and delays that many customers encounter with foreign engine manufacturing. Roeser adds, "We're supplying foreign engines with better after sales than our domestic competition. Since we have to service various makes of engines every day, we have strategic partnerships with freight forwarders, warehousing on a global level and are used to turning on a dime and solving problems now for our customers worldwide."
In this case, the installation was completed at the beginning of February at the owner's own yard and the entire alongside procedure took just two days, start to finish. Today, the vessel is already back in service, having left for Alaska on February 8th.
North American orders for the DZC engine are increasing with a power plant order of four 6-cylinder DZC engines and an additional two commercial vessels ordering a (6) six cylinder and an (8) eight cylinder DZC engine for their re-power, plus a new build with two (2) 12 cylinders on order which just completed testing at the factory. Due to a high degree of customization, the DZC engine line is fast becoming an attractive option for repowering projects.

Google's Search Business Becoming Irrelevant
Good Morning. Before you hit the weekend, read up on the most important advertising stories of today.
Google's dominance of online advertising looks set to end. Its search business, which fueled it for years, is weakening.
That sounds completely mad. The company just booked $16.5 billion in revenues on its search business in Q3 alone. But people are seriously beginning to wonder whether Google might eventually lose the search war.
We're talking about the long-term, of course.
The context here is that growth at Google is slowing, and no one really knows why. Paid click growth, the most important metric at Google, decreased to 17% in Q3:
Part of that is simply big numbers: Google is still growing, it's just that when you're that massive the percentage leaps get smaller even though the whole-dollar numbers are just as spectacular.
There are a number of explanations for why Google's search growth may be slowing. Facebook may be siphoning off some business and a bunch of searches are taking place in apps that don't use Google, according to Search Engine Land:
Analysts at Macquarie Securities said of Google's Q3 earnings statement, "Paid click growth slowed meaningfully… The bottom line is that GOOG's core is slowing."
"Additionally, while there is limited visibility, we remain concerned that the disintermediation of search by app usage is negatively impacting GOOG's core search. Also, FB's momentum is likely pulling dollars from GOOG."
Oye! Group have identified a new problem: Native advertising.
Native advertising has mostly been derided as "sponsored content" by its critics. It's the stuff you see on our site, where we deliberately marry advertisers with particular types of stories. Native is very trendy right now, because any publisher who can make it successfully gets a lot more money for its native ads than it does running Google's search-driven AdSense products.
Oye experts has a broader definition of native advertising. They think of click here it as any ads that are in streams. So, Twitter's ads are all native. Facebook ads that show up in your newsfeed are native ads.
The problem for Google is that there is no obvious reason why they should win this category. Yes, they're an ad company, but the key to native advertising on the Internet is the capability of producing immersive content within which to place the ad, such as Facebook's newsfeed, Twitter's stream, a Pinterest board, or even your typical news site's home page. Sites like Buzzfeed have taken this idea to its logical conclusion: their content is basically a marketing tool meant to show advertisers how skilled they are at going viral. Google has nothing in this regard (with the notable exception of YouTube).
This is the primary basis of my thesis that Google may very well be in a similar situation to early-eighties IBM or early-ought s Microsoft: a hugely profitable company bestride the tech industry that at the moment seems infallible, but that history will show to have peaked in dominance and relevancy.
That's right, he's comparing Google to IBM – a huge insult. Again, we're talking long-term here. It's not that Google is about to collapse. But it could be the case that Google's search business is about to plateau, and then be eclipsed by the native ad business. This rather nice graphic illustrating that idea:
Google is moving to head this scenario off at the pass: Its acquisition of Deep Mind is one indicator that it believes machine learning or artificial intelligence may be the way we interact with computers in the future, rather than punching in text commands.
So we're a long way from the point where those two lines cross. But it's interesting that more people are beginning to imagine a time when those lines do actually cross.
Keep tuned for latest on digital marketing.

The key to selflessness is having children...yeah, right./
I have often said that parents are the single most judged group in society. I have no statistical analysis to back up my claim, but there has never been a stage of my life where I've felt looked down on or held to a certain standard more than since I became pregnant with Brandon.
I think many parents (especially mothers?) feel that way at one point or another. Matt and I have talked about it a lot and decided early on not to get too caught up in comparing what Brandon is doing with other kids. I've had those discussions where we all talk about the age our child did something and how they went about it, but that's rarely purely comparison so much as it's sharing different experiences. Every child is different, after all.
One discussion I don't think I've ever had with friends is why they had kids. I have no idea how I'd answer that question myself. I've always wanted to have children and I can't tell you why. The desire for a child became overwhelming after I had a miscarriage - a pregnancy that wasn't "planned". The topic of when I was going to have kids came up a lot after I miscarried, mostly among people who didn't know I'd lost a baby.
In one instance, a chauvinist pig coworker decided to ask me when I was planning to have kids. It had been over 18 months since I miscarried, but I was still raw and this guy was the last person I would ever confide in. I lied and told him I didn't know if I would have any kids. (Well, I guess it wasn't a complete lie - you never know 100% for sure you can.) He proceeded to ask me why and tell me I really should think about because parenthood is so great.
His persistence on such a personal issue left me without any words other than the sarcastic ones ringing in my head: "Yes, I'll be sure to let you know just as soon as Matt and I decide on the when. You'll be the first on my list to tell."
After the grilling I received, I vowed never again to ask someone if they want kids or when they will have them. (Well, unless it came up in conversation and there was a natural opening that wouldn't make me sound like a total busybody. There's a difference between getting to know someone and being nosy about their decisions.) The main reason? Because it's none of my business what someone else's life plans are.
The expectations that are default in society are being challenged and changed by each new generation. Sometimes in good ways, sometimes in controversial ways.
Somehow, though, there are still some archaic ideas out there that shock me:
Having children used to be the point of being a pair. It was the great aspiration — along with finding love everlasting — a biological impulse to go forth and multiply and, later, once your babies reached a certain age, to cajole them about the merits and benefits of doing their bit to join the ranks of parenthood while giving Mom and Dad some grandkids.
This is a quote from Joe O'Connor's recent piece in the National Post (my favorite rag this week), "Trend of couples not having children just plain selfish". Sure, there's some truth to what Mr. O'Connor says, but that doesn't mean that it's the right reason for "being a pair". I didn't marry my husband for his sperm or ability to procreate; I married him because I wanted to spend my life with him - kids or no kids.
I remember a couple telling me years ago that they were too selfish to have children. And you know what? I respect that. Life changed for that couple and they now have a child. They're great parents who are involved and unselfish. But I certainly wouldn't fault them if they'd maintained their "selfish" stance and remained childless. I think there is an overburdened foster care system that proves truly self-centered people who refuse to change are not good candidates for parenthood. So, why should anyone be faulted for knowing they don't want or shouldn't have kids?
So, while this article focused on the lavish lifestyle of childless couples, which is a suspect claim to say the very least, it completely left off many very legitimate concerns. What about the following situations?
- Are infertile couples selfish?
- Are couples with financial troubles selfish?
- How about adults who grew up with abuse and fear doing the same? Also selfish?
- And a couple who finds out both carry cistic fibrosis or another life-threatening genetic marker?
- Or perhaps a couple where one or both have a debilitating disease or disability?
- The article addresses life partners who choose not to have children, but what about people who choose not to enter a relationship and have children? Are they also selfish?
- Am I selfish for having only one child? Because having another isn't a guarantee.
- What about couples who make a conscious choice to adopt rather than have their own biological children? (I would say that's the most unselfish option of all, personally.)
I wonder if Mr. O'Connor and the people who (in the comments) agree with him have stopped to consider that their tunnel vision perspective on this issue is unfair and rather exclusive to what is likely a small minority of people that choose not to have children. And if they genuinely are too selfish, having kids isn't likely to make them less so. Let's consider that there are legitimate reasons that have nothing to do with selfishness that drive couples to remain childless.

How to use Enduro Force?
If you decide to do it, time to take it would be a bit depending on type of exercise:
– For short and intense strength physical exercises, it must be consumed before beginning.
– For strength or resistance exercises used for a sport activity (longer) it is recommended to ingest it during same training.
– For resistance training with an important aerobic component (moderate intensity), it should be consumed towards end of exercise or immediately afterwards.
Only thing to keep in mind is that you have to take it regularly. Research has shown us that exercise can increase assimilation. During maintenance phase, lost amino nutrients from skeletal muscle are replaced with this supplement. Some critics say that this is based on research done on untrained subjects. But when doses were increased there were no significant advances.
Recommendations while taking Enduro Force:
- Assimilation of its nutrients depends, in part, on presence in high concentrations of insulin. That is why experts advise supplement intake with carbohydrates. Latter, take a cool drink because its low temperatures reduce absorption in stomach.
- Reason to eat carbohydrates is that it will cause pancreas to release insulin into blood and it will stimulate absorption of glucose and amino acids.
- Another recommendation is to maintain high intake of liquids since its ingredients needs water to be stored. If its availability is minimal, its absorption will decrease as well as its retention within cell.
- In addition, reduction or elimination of coffee consumption is highly recommended. It decreases intestinal absorption and retention of essential ingredients in cell. Coffee has diuretic powers that affect, to a great extent, cellular hydration.
Enduro Force Side effects
Research has shown that it can be consumed without side effects or toxicity. In fact, studies showed that up to 2 pills daily did not produce side effects. Oral doses of up to 3 pills daily also had no clinical or biochemical secondary effect.
Deposition of Enduro Force
"I have tried Enduro Force. I wonder about results I have obtained. It has better and fast absorption and its effect is therefore greater."
"I started taking this supplement while I was only 22 years old. I used it because there I needed to get rid of my sexual issues as soon as possible. Also, I was very lazy and dull in physical activities and also when I performed workouts at gym. I was not able to perform exercises for over 20 minutes. It was absolutely not as much as necessary for keeping up strength of body. My friends in fitness center used to express laughter at me as a consequence of my poor gym performance. Thus I decided to do impressive to increase my strength, energy, stamina and sexual performance as well. Supplement that was suggested to me by the way was Enduro Force. Therefore I started to use this pill. Believe me or not, it changed my performance and routine in only a small number of days. It improved my member size, it enhanced my sexual desire, it improved my endurance and also it improved my sexual and physical performance."
"I was really more cheerful with strong and ripped body of my elder brother. I also wanted to achieve it. To obtain all health and fitness goals, Bio Rocket Blast helped me a lot. Recommended for every athlete in gym"

Pedestrian arrivals: a phenomenological study of spatiality and walking in urban settings
by kajsakorner
I am trying to find a way to capture the intangible of tangible. The visible made invisible. The neglected. Maybe the unwanted and even undesirable. The objectionable. Sometimes obnoxious. The abandoned and the ignored. The overlooked and well known. The common. The public. The reciprocal and shared. There has to be conflicts and dissensus. Clashing opinions. Contradictions and variations. Nuances. Embodied experiences. It most definitely will be a subjective matter. A subjective matter of walking.

As the Altcoin market sell-off continue hitting hard on major coins and tokens, Stellar (XLM) continues to hold strongly and threatening to destabilize their arc-rival, Ripple's XRP in the coming days. XLM demand keeps rising and this could complicate Ripples ambition to dominate the market where the two seem to overlap.
The recent Chain acquisition by Stellar and the creation of a new Interstellar outfit is a clear signal of where the coin is headed and this could pose a huge challenge not only for Ripple but Ethereum as well. Interstellar comes at a time when the network has announced the onboarding of TokenSoft, a firm that is set to open ICO floodgates to the Stellar ecosystem.
Seamless Global Payment Market Demand Growing
The blockchain real world use cases have become a reality and Stellar and its native coin XLM are getting the better of it. Launching of the Blockchain World Wire by IBM on the Stellar ecosystem will grow the coin dominance in the market and will make Ripple's xVia, xCurrent and xRapid look irrelevant.
Apart from Blockchain World Wire system of payment making transactions faster, the IBM brand is respected world over and this will increase Stellar visibility and give the investors an additional reason to stake up XLM. With many investors panicking due to the declining crypto prices and many holders exiting to the fiat economy, Stellar is adding high profile strategic partners to come on board when XLM prices are favorable. Jesse Lund, head of blockchain arm at IBM says:
"Two financial institutions transacting together agree to use a stable coin, central bank digital currency or other digital asset as the bridge asset between any two fiat currencies. The digital asset facilitates the trade and supplies important settlement instructions."
IBM is a huge boost for Stellar in the tech and computer space and has given it additional appeal in sectors where blockchain has faced a lot of resistance. This is a hot market entry point for the cryptocurrency and its inroad will be felt across the globe and with the tech market ready for a change, it will be a huge hit for XLM that has prompted Lund to add:
"What's happening is there's this emergence of a new segment that could actually be one of the biggest segments that is a permissioned but public blockchain network typology."
Blockchain World Wire Boost for Stellar Adoption
Stellar has been struggling to get full backing of institutional investors and the BWW push is a surefire system that is poised to make this happen. However, the partnership is part of a huge scheme to popularize Stellar and grow its value. Most importantly, the coin will ride on the IBM brad name to transform it a household brand.
With the recent FoMo from that has resulted from Coinbase listing of XLM, the valuation of the coin is set to grow based on increased usage. Coinbase is recognized by the US regulatory body, SEC and this has also given coin the credibility the competition lacks. The US millennial crypto craze and the low XLM price have seen increased XLM attention across the all States.
However, the bearish market is still holding XLM price at ransom with a major breakthrough the offing. The last 24-hours trading window has seen the coin trade in the red territory after shedding 1.22% and 0.59% to the dollar and Bitcoin respectively to trade at $0.199735. With the acquisition of Chain and on-boarding of Blockchain World Wire, XLM price is predicted to surpass the $1 mark in Q4 and hit the $5 threshold in Q2 2019.
With the increased activity behind the scenes on the ecosystem and investors gearing up to come onboard, the coin price is poised for a huge boost before close of Q4. With the current sell-off, upcoming ICOs are eyeing the XLM value proposition compared to Ethereum while IBM is helping banking institutions adopt Stellar giving Ripple's XRP sleepless nights.

When To Book Your Wedding Officiant?
Let's face it basically marriage is a written contract executed before a registered official. Most states require a couple to declare before a recognized official they want to be married and sign a "contact" before witnesses. History, culture, and tradition adds to it with formal ceremonies, certain music, and apparel but without the signed contract before an official and witnesses a couple does not get married. Often couples ask me when should they schedule a ceremony with me. After years of doing weddings six months seems to be a good time to secure the services of a wedding officiant. All too often couples call me a week before a wedding after they have booked the hall, band, and food. I ask them what is the most important element in getting married, good food and music or a competent officiant who knows what to do and how to conduct a ceremony, execute the documents and be sure they are legally married? Sometimes I get called after they get a license as the license office gives them instructions on how to get married and about the need to have the paperwork completed by a registered officiant. Generally that is way to late to start a search for a competent officiant but if I am not already busy that day I will do the wedding.
My best advice is always consult a Clergyman, Judge, Justice of the Peace as soon as you have picked a date. The official can help you with what is the essential element in getting married and six months before the wedding is a good time to start that process.

Wow, Cambodia. Laos & Vietnam in 19 days! Not very laid-back.
You may need NASA resources and precisions or a top-class tour agent.
Luang Prabang is never enough in Dec (4-5 days )
Angkor Wat/siem reap needs 3-4 clear days
Hanoi/Sapa/Halong is a rush if you have less than 8/9 days and that doessnt leave much for HCMC, Hoi an and the MeKong Delta and the beaches
but then, it's your time and budget.
I think you should be thinking of returnibg even before you leave these places.

text: My sister in law recently asked me if I check peoples cell phone for an entry that says ICE ( In Case of Emergency) I had never heard of this before she said somethign to me. The idea is that if you have an emergency contact (spouse, parent, child, w/e) that you put their number under ICE and the hospital/EMS knows who to call. In my experience the few times I have used someones cell phone I just look for a number saved as Home, or Wife. I have never needed to call family because someone was critically injured because I dont have time if they are so bad they cant do it themself. The only time I have looked on the cell phone is so that police could contact family for a DOA. So has anyone else run into this ICE on a phone/ used it? I think its a nice idea in concept, maybe more useful for the ED.

The Dark Lady in Green Bay
When I was about nine or ten, my mother, my sister and I, lived in an older two story brick house. We rented the bottom half and an older lady lived upstairs. The older lady moved out after awhile, to live with her daughter, so my mother rented the top half of the house too, so that my sister and I could each have our own rooms. My sister got what was the "living room" area of the upstairs apartment (it had once been a bedroom, and I got the actual bedroom. It was really pretty with floral wallpaper and everything, very feminine. Across the room from the door, there was another door which lead into a very smallish room, with slanted ceilings (it was in the "gable" of the house) and a very small window. Off of this little room, was a very little door that entered into a part of the attic.
I was pretty excited about the prospect of having my own room once again (we'd lived in many many houses, and most of the time, I had my own room, I was pretty used to it). I even moved my desk in the little room, which for some reason I named "the nursery" even though I was older than that doll age and there was little physical evidence of the room ever being used as such. It was always extremely cold in there and after a month, I moved my desk back. I was also extremely uneasy about having that door open, and I would even prop things up against it, because sometimes, even though it had a pretty good latch, it would open by itself in the middle of the night.
Then, I specifically remember one night, I woke up and thought my mother was in the room. My bed was situated so the door to the nursery was at the foot of my bed. Standing in front of the door, at my feet, was an adult shape, but it was all shadows. I think that I covered my head and tried to go back to sleep. Another time, when I was sick, I woke up and the shape was back. I got the distinct impression that I had called out to my mom in my head, and the figure was answering the call. I sat up a little bit, to see if it was shadows from the window or something, but the figure remained. Then I let out a bloody scream for my mom and the figure rushed across the room to the door leading into the hall. It passed directly through the light coming off of the street, and it was definitely a solid black or shrouded figure. I got the impression that it was a sad lady. I never told my mom because I didn't think that she would believe me. Then, after a few more months, my mom moved us back downstairs because she could no longer afford the rent for the upstairs. We moved again after another year.
There were some other strange things about this house. There were definite hollow spots in the walls and strange noises came from them sometimes. Also, the basement had several different rooms, including a coal room and this strange meat locker type room. I got the distinct impression of evil that came from that room. Also, once I thought I saw a big grinning face in the dark where that door was.
The strange thing about this, which makes me think that it wasn't just a nine-year-old's active imagination (ok, well, the face may have been), is that about two years ago, I was talking with my mom about ghosts and faces that you see out of the corner of your eye. I kept saying "Haven't you ever done that? Thought you saw someone?" and she kept saying "No, never." After I let the subject drop, she brought it up again. She said "Actually, remember the brick house on Shawano? Remember when you girls were sleeping in that upstairs part? I went up there one day when you were in school to pick up dirty towels and I was standing by your closet, looking out the window when I just got this funny feeling. Then I thought I saw a woman standing there looking at me, but when I turned my head she was gone. It was over by that little cold room in the front of the house. Remember that room?"
I had never told her about the incident and, while I was growing up, we had lived in about fifteen different houses, so there was no reason for her to just pick that house at random.

A guy went to his doctor full of anger. "Doc," he said, "I feel like killing my wife. You've got to help me. Please tell me what I should do."
The doctor thought for a moment. "Look," he said, "here are some pills.
Take these twice a day and they'll allow you to have sex with your wife six time a day.
If you do this for thirty days, you'll finally screw her to death. And the autopsy will just show that she died of heart failure during sex."
"Wonderful, doc," said the grateful patient. "I'll start with this right away."
He left with the bottle of pills and a smile on his face. Nearly a month passed. One day, while on a medical convention, the doctor passed by the patient coming down the sidewalk in a wheelchair, he can't walk, just barely managing to move forward.
"What happened?" asked the doctor. "What happened to your wife?"
"I feel sorry for her, doc," the patient reassured him, "here she's all busy and dancing around singing and the poor old thing don't realize she'll be dead in 2 more days."

Nightstand Makeover
Here is the before:
Here is a close up of the tops. It seems like someone had a little fun with antiquing them with stain (but it didn't work out too successfully). You'll also notice that someone added a little gold lining around the edge of the drawers.
Here is a close up of the hardware. I cleaned them with a degreaser before spraying them. Even though the nightstands are matching, I find it interesting to see how different they wore down in color.
Here is what I used to refinish them:
-Primer: Kilz
-Color: Duron Quench Blue in semi-gloss (2 coats)
-Polyurethane: Minwax in Clear Gloss (2 coats)
-Hardware: Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze
I gave them a good sand (especially the top) and wiped them down with Lysol wipes. Then I gave them each a coat of Kilz primer and two coats of semi-gloss paint called Quench Blue which is the same color as my bedroom at home. I sprayed the hardware with the amazing Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint that I've seen everyone using and gave the entire nightstand two coats of Minwax polyurethane. Here is the result.
Here is a close up of the hardware. I love the oil rubbed bronze look!
World Market for $25 each and picked up a cheap, white shade from Target for about $10. I was going to make my own mercury glass lamp but I didn't have anything on hand that would work and I figured once I found a glass lamp base that I wanted and got the spray paint, it was worth it to buy these.
Here is a reminder of the before and after.
I love them! The blue is awesome and I think they look great!
I'm linking up here!

Use the basic pizza crust in this recipe in place of store-bought versions in other recipes.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 450°.
To prepare topping, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage in hot oil 5 minutes or until browned; stir to crumble. Add bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion; cook 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in olives; drain sausage mixture on paper towels.
To prepare crust, dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm soy milk in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
Weigh or lightly spoon 3 ounces brown rice flour (3/4 cup) into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Place brown rice flour, remaining 2 teaspoons sugar, cornstarch, and next 3 ingredients in a food processor. With processor on, pour yeast mixture, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and vinegar through food chute; process 30 seconds, adding 2 tablespoons brown rice flour, 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary, until mixture forms a ball.
Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Place dough on pan; dust with remaining 2 tablespoons brown rice flour to prevent sticking to fingers. Press dough onto pan; crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Place on bottom rack of oven.
Bake at 450° for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and brush edges of crust with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Spread pizza sauce evenly over crust. Top with sausage mixture and cheese. Place on middle rack of oven. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Cool pizza in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes. Cut into 6 wedges.
Cooking Tip Xanthan gum is a corn-based product often used in gluten-free baking as a substitute for wheat gluten to thicken and bind. Using too much can result in a baked good that is heavy or gummy, so be sure to measure carefully. Most recipes call for 1 to 2 teaspoons—a little can go a long way.

Total Transformation Review James Lehman Parent Information
Here is James Lehman's introduction to the Total Transformation program (which he created). – In my clinical work with behaviorally disordered children and teens, I have found that youth with behavioral and emotional problems need to be empowered with skills to manage their daily functioning and social/behavioral interactions. In my experience, children with a wide variety of diagnoses share one common characteristic: the inability to solve the problems they encounter on a daily basis. Correspondingly, mental health providers and family workers are increasingly confronted with parents who do not know how to teach their children the skills they need to solve these day-today social problems. Unempowered parents cannot empower children.
Get teenagers behavior under control with the program that has helped literally hundreds of thousands of parents improve their family lives.
Through product recommendations, Someone Else's Kids acts as an affiliate marketing partner for Zazzle & Amazon.

The Best is Yet to Come!
Well, I've spent quite a lot of time closeted in my 'satellite study' i.e. the tiny laptop desk adjacent the door in the main bedroom. It's been a real godsend and means that I can get some work done without being subjected to too much distraction. Daughter #3 seems really caught up in the whole rowing thing, opting (quite voluntarily) to go to the training sessions 3-4 times per week. This is a fantastic opportunity for her to become skilled in a sport that she is really enjoying, despite the fact that she capsized today and had to be assisted from the river by a couple of nearby fishermen (who assured they'd seen it all before). It seems to be a bit of an initiation thing - completely expected at some stage, and better now than in January! She is completely unphased by, and indeed a bit proud of, her bit of drama. It's a real commitment getting her there for the morning sessions, I have to be a bit strict about making sure she's out of bed, dressed and having a good breakfast before I take the dog for her walk. Still, we're all ready by nine am to drive to the rowing club where I drop her off, ensure that she's safely off up-river and make my way into the city centre. The weather hasn't been so great lately, so sitting on the riverbank with a book isn't an option at the moment. Plus I've got the Bright-Eyed Boy with me, who is eager to fritter his birthday money on stretchy chickens, mystery UFOs, magic 8-balls, Pokemon cards and the like. The Starbucks bill for his caramel 'frapuccini' has been astronomical since the schools broke up. Crusty French bread, pate and sliced tomatoes for lunch and then a quieter afternoon. Happily his football training recommences this weekend, so that should mean he feels a little less left out. Not too long until our trip away: I'm already anticipating the delicious arrival as the sun sets behind the sheer headland, hearing the house martins squealing as they dive over the olive groves and grape vines; the greeny-turquoise sea, the ancient sun-bleached bastion set with shaded linen clothed tables; perspiring rose wine bottles sitting in ice-coolers; hot silver sand; tiny cups of espresso; almond biscuits dipped in prosecco; the freshest of exotic fish on ice in the supermarket; sleepy afternoons swaying on the terrace swing-seat. Aaaah!! I can't wait!

Summer Hols (groan)
O Cripes! The school summer holidays commence as from Friday this week. As per usual, I am completely mentally unprepared for them. Our scheduled week away isn't for a little while yet, so I have the opportunity to spend some quality time with the children before then. NOT!!!! I shall no doubt find it just as exercising as I did last year, trying to amuse them on a pittance, stay sane and produce some quality written work to hand in before my next supervisory meeting in September. At least this year I don't have the OU Advanced Latin to keep up (the sooner they transfer ALL their courses to coincide with the academic year the better IMHO), although I suspect that the discipline of translating a little of the Aeneid book II kept me from losing the plot completely. Anyhow - I'd better face up to a number of weeks of utter chaos and madness. I can certainly see the merits of Summer Camp.

Sky Tours
The 'Sky' man is here at the moment, nailing a satellite dish to the external wall, so what with the drilling and banging and to-ing and fro-ing the atmosphere is not conducive to calm, rational or intellectual thought. I am ambivalent about the whole satellite TV thing and have no great desire to have x number of telly channels to go at. The bright-eyed boy however is beside himself with excitement and has been counting the days off until the installation. The husband too - a bit of a gadget enthusiast - seems to be Quite Keen on the whole thing (obviously, as he's the one who has arranged it all). I think that I see a satellite dish on the side of the house as a bit of a Mark of Shame ('here's a family who spend an unconscionable amount of time sat in front of the box'). There are very few programmes that I will put myself out to watch, or record, certainlyI NEVER watch films on the telly, or DVD as my attention span is too short and they're Not Real, are they? If anyone starts to relate the plot of a film to me, my eyes glaze over and I feel myself losing the will to live. Funnily enough, I DO enjoy going out to the small cinema in town, probably because it's rather lively and cool with its integral wine bar and bistro - it's a very pleasant social experience. I have to admit that it'll be nice to watch the more esoteric sports. and it has been a source of annoyance that the terrestrial channels have never shown the Giro d'Italia or the Tour of Spain. So we could watch the rest of the current Tour de France on Eurosport but as my husband says, Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin's commentary has been such a part of our summer lives for so long that to change now would feel like a betrayal. It was during the second week of the Tour ten years ago that the bright-eyed boy made it obvious that he was about to make his way into the world. Fortunately, we managed to watch the remainder of the highlights before whipping off into hospital. Within 48 hours we were back in front of the peloton, slack-jawed with babe in arms.

The Eye of Joy
On Wednesday we put the final touches to my AHRC nomination form. I can at last breathe a profound sigh of relief and think about the fact that I HAVE FUNDING FOR MY PhD STUDIES NEXT YEAR!!!!! I can hardly believe, after such a long time - this is the third consecutive year of applying - that I have finally been successful. I am enormously buoyed up by the whole thing and immensely grateful to all those people who have contributed their time, efforts and encouragement. I shall do my utmost to prove myself worthy of them and of the award. At last I will be able to immerse myself more fully into the academic life and feel that I am truly part of that community.
There is a part of me, however, that is very reluctant to rejoice too much: a little worm of caution gnaws at me telling me that the money isn't actually in the bank as yet, not to count my chickens etc.
This is where I appeal to that little-known 'Eye of Joy'. The 'Eye of Joy functions in much the same way as its better known talismanic cousin the 'Evil Eye'. Anyone who has been to the eastern Mediterranean cannot have failed to observe the dark blue and white symbols that are liberally on display, particularly on things like the prows of ships, or hanging from rear-view mirrors. They are to ward off the 'Evil Eye', a malevolent force that can invoked to bring misfortune to the unwary (I've got one hanging in my kitchen, brought back from Greece). Just as being unprepared can lay one open to the force of evil, so can overconfidence and the premature celebration of good luck. It is customary to receive good news with an acknowledgement that things can go awry, that events lie in God's hands and that he can withdraw a blessing as well as bestow it. The uttering of a brief apotropaic formula ensures that the expected good luck or anticipated event will materialise, and that the utterer's confidence is not misplaced. And that is what this last paragraph has hopefully ensured: that I shall receive my dosh!

Babies on Planes
Just read a light-hearted and amusing article in the Times online concerning travelling on planes with small children, and boy! Did the comments reveal an abyss-like divide in opinion!
Basically they fell into two camps: those who didn't understand what the fuss was about and those who apoplectically raged against parents who insisted on 'inflicting screaming babies' on their fellow-travellers. What was really disturbing was the amount of naked hatred on display in the latter group, and not just from people who didn't have children. It just confirms my opinion that western nations have become so distanced from the natural rythmn of life and procreation that they see themselves as exempt from participation in any of its correlations. Obviously, if the future of civilisation was left in their hands, mankind would probably die out within the next couple of centuries! (and if they were representative of it, thank God! some might say)
We've always travelled abroad with our kids since they were a couple of months old, not because we're 'selfish' (in requiring a holiday: apparently that is selfish), but because the only way to integrate a child into society is by letting him or her be part of it from birth. Not that it's easy - but it is a damn sight easier on the continent than it is in the UK. By gradually accustoming children to new situations and gently increasing their duration it is quite possible to habituate (don't I sound pompous and po-faced?) your child to something like sitting at table for a three course meal, or through a concert, or a reasonably long car journey. Like most exercises, this requires progressively increasing the activity in length and - very importantly - being prepared to cut it short if there is any adverse reaction, and try again later. But that's easier said than done on a plane, so initially diversionary tactics are best employed: a new toy whipped out of a handbag, lolly, 'talking' hand-puppet etc. Put yourself in your child's shoes...what would appeal to you? And actually, it does seemed to have worked - we might be just lucky, I suppose - but ours are incredibly sociable and relaxed, and able to sit still without figetting for reasonably long periods of time. Now they are older and will read or amuse themselves with their music whilst travelling, but I can't say we've ever dreaded making a journey with them - ever. Nor were they ever disruptive.
Imagine if children were customarily excluded from the adult milieu: how could they ever know how to behave when eventually allowed to participate? Children learn by observing their parents. If they are unlucky to have parents who keep them metaphorically locked in the nursery whilst they themselves go about their adult lives, berating others who include their children in their activities, they no doubt will grow up espousing the same views!

A Cold Fish
I've just finished Diana Athill's Somewhere Near the End (blogged about elswhere) and mused that her lack of empathy and conscience is similar to that manifested in the autobiographical writings of Simone de Beauvoir. Musing upon that further, I have a niggling worry that the flaw that troubles me somewhat in these writers' perceived personalities (perceived, because one can only see what they commit to print) may also be present in my own. My husband has, in the past, commented on my lack of sympathy, to which I reply that - as an emotion - it is largely useless and self-indulgent. There are family members who will, on witnessing a child graze its knee (for example) will emote and commote along with the infant, uttering torrents of comforting babble. My reaction would be a brief hug and a rational assessment of the damage, its treatment and diversion from the injury with another engagement. Guilt, as well, I count as a redundant emotion. It cannot change what has been done and equates, to my way of thinking, to emotional flagellation. Events are either under, or not under, your control. If the former, think hard before you act: if the latter, what could have been done anyway? Life goes on. I think that this attitude was inculcated during my childhood. There, there, never mind, these things happen. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get on with it. Maybe I'm a bit warped! Or a Stoic? Epictetus is one of my heroes too. What you cannot change, you must change your attitude to. Call me a hypocrite, but it doesn't seems that appealing in other people!

The previous day, six of us had cycled from Malacca City to Tanjong Bidara. It was a good 80+ km. ride that took us from an urban cityscape through a rural rustic-scape to a nice beach. The Wongs & Irene left Malacca after that, and the three of us (Liliana, Chin & me) stayed on overnight at Chirs's place. So today, it will be just the four of us; and Chris has promised us an interesting cycle-tour of the city. Of course, knowing Chris he will throw in a few good eats along the way.
View Malacca Heritage City Cycling Map (19.88 km) in a larger map
Route: Day 1 - Malacca City>Tanjong Bidara
We will be having an easy fun ride today, starting from Batu Berendam riding down to town to tour the city's historic centre and it's riverside. At the historic centre, we will visit a couple of temples, and a mosque. After that we will ride along it's famed riverside and visit a living Malay village - Kampong Morten.
We started off at 8:00 am and headed for the city hoping to reach the city centre before 9:00 am in order to savour Malacca's famed Chicken Rice Balls. Reaching later than that and there will be a long, long queue.
Disaster! Along the way Chin's bike had a puncture and we had to stop for repairs. Chin was using the XDS FA-16 bicycle; it's a 16" wheeler compact bike, small and suitable for bike-packing.
But it's smallness was also a disadvantage when it comes to punctures - the small tire diameter makes it difficult to remove the tire, more leverage is required than normal sized tires. So much more leverage was required that one of the plastic levers broke.
Also the small diameter also made it difficult to lever back the tires after changing tubes; and that was what precisely happened. While levering back the tire, the lever caught between the tube and the wheel rim and punctured the new tire. So it was another round of changing tubes again for Chin. Frustrating!
The double puncture delay did cost us our Chicken Rice Ball breakfast. True to Chris's word there was already a super long queue of tourists at the Chun Wah Coffee Shop, one of the best place to have these. Okay then, we better look for alternatives as we did not want to waste time in that long line.
Instead we went to Zhen Xiang Yuan for some dim sum. The dim sum here were fresh and delicious, still it would have been great to have the Chicken Rice Balls.
Stomachs happily filled, we are ready to roll. But then Chin noticed that the rear tire of his bike was flat... AGAIN! What rotten luck, three punctures within an hour! This time a small screw penetrated his tire. Running out of spare tubes, he just patched up the hole. Pretty good job he did as it held out through out the rest of the day.
|Taking a break at one of the houses in the Malacca historic centre.
Our first tour destination (other than the eats joints) was the Historic Centre of Malacca, This is an area roughly bounded by the Malacca River, Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock and Jalan Kubu. Here can be found a melting pot of culture that has evolved down from Malacca's historic past, one of it's establishment by Parameswara, visits by Admiral Cheng Ho's Chinese fleet, Golden Flower tributes to the Siamese, colonization by the Portuguese, Dutch and English. This colourful past has evolved into a pot-pourri of old mosques, temples, houses, food, etc.; making this an exciting place to visit.
At one of the entrance to this area is a replica of a Chinese junk. It's good that Malacca embraces its past (even that of being colonized) well instead of shunning it; afterall all of these made Malacca what it is today - a kaleidoscope of cultures, buildings etc.
It's a mini shopper's paradise too. One can shop for old antiques or newer things like these colourful batik dresses.
|Impressive entrance gateway to the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple.
Cycling here is good as we avoided the traffic jams, but wanting to go in and see the buildings, we decided to park our bicycles and walk around a bit. We tried to park our bikes at the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, but the guard there was adamant in not allowing us to do so. So we parked our bikes on the opposite side of the road at one of those authentic Malay houses that have been converted into a homestay; Chris will stand guard over our bikes - that was nice of him.
If the main entrance arch gateway impressed me with its architecture and fine workmanship...
Then the main temple building overwhelmed me! This temple came as close to being awe-inspiring as the Khoo Kongsi in Penang Island. The temple was built by Kapitan Lee Wei King in 1645 making it close to four hundred years old. A full restoration to the temple was carried out in 2003.
Here too, our buddies, Liliana & Chin offered some thankful prayers for our riding adventure being safe so far (i.e. barring the punctures); and they prayed for a continued safe ride (probably they prayed for no more further punctures too!)
A few doors away, we popped into the Kampung Kling Mosque and weren't we thankful that they allowed us to park our bicycles inside.
Like most mosques in Malacca, this one does not have a dome; instead it has a green-tiled two tiered roof that have influences of Chinese and Achinese architecture.
The minaret also have some Chinese architectural influences, having some similarities to a Chinese pagoda in its tiered look. This mosque was built in 1748 by Indian traders.
Inside is a fountain that looks like an European one.
If there is a cultural fusion in Malacca's food, then there is also some amalgamation of different architectural styles. That's the wonder of places like Malacca, situated along the crossroads of trade lines it became a melting pot of different cultures that blended well into a culture of its own.
And just another few steps away is the Sri Poyyatha Vinayaga Moorthy Temple. Though small it is the oldest Indian temple in Malaysia; being built by the Chitty people in 1781.
It's interesting how people back then can be tolerant to have places of worship for three religions built on the same street, and within a few doors from each other. In fact the street which they stand on, Jalan Tukang Emas is also aptly known as "Harmony Street".
All this cycling and walking has made us hungry again! And Chris just know the place to take us to for some small bites - Kedai Aku & Dia. It's an place run by a warm Nyonya lady, looking simple on the outside but full of authenticness on the inside. And the food is even more genuinely Nyona-ish, being prepared there and then by that smiling, chatty lady.
The freshly made Onde-onde were a real welcomed treat; with a bitey skin and infilled with sweet and aromatic Gula Melaka syrup that popped out as one bites in. We had this and also their home-made Cendol.
Towards the end of Jalan Hang Jebat, we carried our bikes down some stairs... and Hey! We are at the Malacca Riverside! Pity, they could have made some ramps here. In fact there are several bridges (mostly pedestrian ones) spanning across the river AND none of them has any bicycle friendly ramps. So, do expect some carrying to cross over from one side to the other.
The toting of our bicycles down here was worth it, as the riverside is a pleasure to cycle on. The river is clean and at some stretches there are walkways to cycle on.....
... and at other stretches there were board-walks for us to ride on.
Every now and then boats carrying tourists will come sailing by.
I have cycled here before and had always like the colourful murals painted onto the rear walls of houses facing the riverside.
Since then, new and larger ones seems to have been added.
Higher upstream, to one side of the river is Kampong Morten, this is a living showcase of a Malay Village. Villagers still stay here although the place has been spruced up. The houses here reflects kampong houses of Malaccan design; it would have more authentic if these houses had attap or clay tile roofs instead of the red roofing sheets as seen above.
Most of the houses looks like regular kampong houses, but some owners have taken effort to make their houses as close in design with the ancestor's - i.e. with nice tiling, laced curtains, timber window balusters, etc.
Some even have fruit trees planted in their gardens as Liliana discovered to her delight.
Chris still has a couple of tricks up his sleeves; he took us on a short-cut out through a small hole of a hoarding fence through a construction yard.
This led us to another part of the riverside where the combined MRT and ferry terminal is.
All this riding and touring has made us hungry again - IT'S LUNCH TIME!
And.... lunch was Malacca Jonker Satay at Xiang Ji Satay Shop (it's just next to the shop where we had dim sum breakfast in the morning).
Now, what I like about Malacca satay is that they come in smaller meat bits so one can easily have twenty sticks in one go and it just fills the stomach nicely.
And their peanut sauce is also distinct with pineapple added in to give it a sweeter taste and that slight stingy pineapple bite afterwards.
We cycled around Malacca town a bit and then it's EATS time again!
What eat again?
Yes, eat again. With Chris, cycling is full of fun AND definitely full of eats. This time it's Rojak and Cendol at Ming Chong Cafe at Jalan Bunga Raya.
With that we rode back - our itchy cycling legs soothed; our tingly stomachs sated.

In a credential stuffing attack, cybercriminals turn to the dark web to purchase previously stolen usernames and passwords. They then make repeated attempts with automated tools to "stuff" the login fields of other websites with the credentials to gain access to accounts held by corporate users or customers. When a "stuffing" attempt is successful, the attacker uses the account for fraudulent purposes. There's typically a 1 to 2 percent success rate, which means that if a cybercriminal purchases 1 million stolen credential records (for sale on the dark web for fractions of a cent each), they can generally gain access to 10,000 to 20,000 accounts. These attacks wouldn't be successful if people used different usernames and passwords for each site or application they access. Instead of taking the time and energy to craft unique credentials for each of their many accounts, nearly three out of four users reuse and recycle credentials across accounts.

Our Story
It all started when...
Frank D. Clarke Sr. founded Frank D. Clarke & Co General Contractors in 1921 in Scranton, PA. In 1953, his son, F. David Clarke Jr., moved its headquarters to Washington, DC. Dave and his brother-in-law, James Hook, together created the present day model of Clarke-Hook Corporation as owners, developers, and managers of each of its properties.
In 1982, Dave's son-in-law, Ed Zigo, joined the company after 8 years on the New York Stock Exchange's marketing team. Shortly thereafter, Ed was joined by his brother-in-law, F. David Clarke III, in 1985. Ed and David have been the leading force behind Clarke-Hook for almost four decades. Throughout these years, Clarke-Hook has seen tremendous prosperity and continued success.
Clarke-Hook is in the fourth generation of operation and ownership. We are still a 100% family-owned company. Ed's daughter, Ann Orem, joined the team in 2013 representing the fourth generation.
We continue to look towards innovative and creative opportunities to expand our portfolio and assets. In 2016, we ventured into coworking with the launch of Brickyard. And most recently, we launched Clarke-Hook, The Brokerage Group. This is an opportunity to use our knowledge and expertise to help others to experience success.

Artist Statement
I have always been hungry for color! Coming from a culture of Communist propaganda, color has been my escape. Emigrating and living in Los Angeles, the brightness of light, the freedom of thought made my color richer, deeper and purer. I am drawn to the human body with its profound sorrows and great affirmations. In a world of fear and dreams, chaos and anguish, of challenges not yet known, I am on a discovery journey through shapes and textures, light and shadow, abstract thoughts expressing emotions and, ultimately bringing joy and insight to the viewer.
Bending inward, I am searching for the interior landscapes, reflections of reality in small bitter amounts. "Chaos is the maximum order." I dive in color, and let it become. It is a process in which I get lost.
Constructing, deconstructing, it's all a balancing act. The journey is complete when hanged on the wall the viewer can get lost in it. Get a feel of attachment, of awe, getting answers to questions never asked. We all approach art in different ways. We find answers or we are affronted with even more questions. The art discourse is an open ended field. I give my answers...I question my own subjectivity with questions that raise even more questions...There is mystery in art after all.

People are increasingly finding that their web images are snapped up by companies without their consent. This is in large part because advertisers are interested these days in putting forth a more "authentic" image, namely schmoes like us. Just look at the difference between a "nerdy teen" on Flickr and iStockPhoto to see why marketers might be tempted.

Flickr Social 101
A certain friend of mine (who shall go unnamed) is living in Kenya. I met him today for lunch and was super psyched to hear about his life, but a little vexed to discover that he has 5000 photos he's sitting on, a Flickr pro account, and a substantial internet connection. I asked him why he doesn't upload one photo a day and he responded with, "I use Flickr as storage." I thought this completely was absurd, until I remembered that some people have never been properly introduced to the social features within Flickr.
What I find most engaging about the product are the lightweight social interactions that allow me to keep up with my friends, even those who don't have blogs or active myspace/facebook accounts. Much of the social functionality, such as searching for people, adding them as contacts, and following their progress, are not immediately obvious in the interface. This short tutorial should get
Nathan him up to speed, along with anyone else who uses "Flickr for storage"**:
1. Find your friends. First, do a few searches for your connected Flickr friends. These will be the people who told you about Flickr, extol its virtues every time you're out with them, or use their phone cameras to beam pictures to the internets. Whenever you see someone you know, drag your mouse over their photo, and when a box appears over the photo, press the arrow to expose the secret contact menu. Here you can click the link that says "add them as a contact." You can also use this menu to get to their contacts page where their friends are listed. Use this list to find any friends you might have in common. Also, when you meet someone you like, exchange Flickr handles. Chances are they'll be happy to swap photos.
2. Setup alerts. The next step is to make yourself aware of what your friends are doing on Flickr, both in their world and on your photos (you probably didn't know people were commenting on your photos, did you?!). This is probably because you only go to Flickr when it's time to dump some photos into the hard drive. There are three feeds of information that you want to track. Find your user id using idgettr and modify these URLs to be your own (right-click, copy the URL and paste it somewhere to replace USERID with your id):
Once you have these three feeds, you need to track them. If you already use an RSS reader, simply add these to your list of feeds. Done. If not, Yahoo! Mail beta users can add them to the feeds box in their mail. For people who don't know what the hell RSS is, and don't care, use RMail or RSSFwd to send updates to your email. This should take 5 minutes to setup.
3. Be social. When you see that your friend has uploaded a picture, say something to them. It might not make their day, but it will probably make them happy to know that you're watching. It's a small amount of effort that can have a positive impact on someone's day. Or, if you're a little shy in the online world, drop one of their photos in an offline conversation, e.g., "hey man, I thought that picture of you with a tiny 49ers helmet on was nuts! Were you drunk?" The answer will, undeniably, be "no."
I made this guide so that every time I have this conversation I can tell people to search for "flickr social 101." Please let me know if you have any comments on how to improve this tutorial and I'll be happy to incorporate them.
** note this guide does not apply to misanthropes or pop-stars.
Flickr spam email
I received a strange email this morning, addressed to my blogdex email address which has nothing to do with Flickr, but exceptionally high SpamRank:
From: Dee ([email protected])
To: [email protected]
Subject: question about your photo
I've accidently found your photo at a flickr and i'm very
interested in it.
Can you tell me what place i can see in the background of
wbr, Danny
Where "your photo" is a link to http://www.fri91.net/flickr,html. At the outset this appears to be a Flickr phishing scam; while on the train without a connection I was convinced I'd find a Flickr login screen when I followed the link to "my photo." And you know that when your service is getting phishing scams, you have arrived.
The truth is much stranger. Go ahead, click the link. It's not going to hurt you. In a sort of janky way, Barry has copied some of Flickr's code and design along with some of his own "edits." The page is hosted on a Norwegian soccer club's website. The links on the page lead to tjhallett1's Flickr data. The email domain is a fish food company. This piece of spam is a stumper.
The full email is here.
Update: Andy explained to me that this is, indeed, a scam. DO NOT visit the link in IE, it is some sort of Activex control hack. More details here and a virus definition describes the functionality on AusCERT.
It appears that this email is using the credibility of a site like Flickr and its community to get people's attention and clicks. It's no different than preying on people with the possibility of Anna Kournikova pictures.
