It would be way too facile to call the Buford Hwy Farmers Market a simple ethnic store, nor is it really a 'Chinatown', or a 'Little Havana', the market serves several cultures, and even if your not from one of the cultures; this place is an object of cultish adoration for all obsessive food types. (ie, me!)
The market is off Buford Highway, outside of Atlanta, Georgia, and Buford Highway itself, is a dingy, unremarkable, seven-lane expressway, lined with strip malls. You could zip fast past this 6 mile stretch, (in an air conditioned SUV, with a mediocre, deli sandwich) intent on some other parts unknown, (the road connects Atlanta to points northeast), and not notice the incredible food that lies here, and is far better than anything you could purchase at any well meaning, but pretty ordinary, deli.
Like a Vietnamese place, for instance, that makes the most delectable spicy vermicelli noodle soup with pork blood, pork foot and crab meat, that you might miss, because maybe it's hidden between a Transmission Store and a now closed Burlington Coat Factory. Or a Mexican place that makes killer taco's, and whole fried tilapia, that might lie between a a 'Dollar and Change' and a Pawn Mart.
Inside the Buford market, though, is everything you could ever wish for, and the list of countries represented is endless. From Korean, to Bangladeshi, Russian, Mexican, Vietnamese, Central and South American, West Africa, the Philipines, and many more. There is a huge produce section, with an array of herbs and spices unlike any you've ever seen, and while a lot of the names are in the language of their home country, there are managers on hand to guide you through, should you need translations. There is also a bakery, where they sell Mexican Lechuza, Tavasquena, and Stik de piña (both 79c) and many other things. And a seafood and meat counter, which has soft shell turtles, and salted fried pig skins, amongst other things.
I was lucky to visit this market through a tour offered by the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, which I attended this last weekend in Georgia. To learn more about the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, click here.

Every month, the Writer's Bone crew reviews or previews books we've read or want to read.

Feel free to share your own suggestions in the comments section or tweet us @WritersBone.
Be Frank With Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson
Daniel Ford: Johnson's utterly charming debut novel landed in my hands by happenstance. I was perusing the stacks at Porter Square Books, waiting for W.B. Belcher's reading to start, and Be Frank With Me's robin's egg blue cover caught my eye. "I will not buy a book. I will not buy a book," I muttered as I walked away. After Belcher's Q and A ended, it took me all of five minutes to snatch a copy from the display shelf and hand the cashier my money.
Structured around a reclusive author, an insecure assistant, and an eccentric and immensely lovable 9-year-old, Be Frank With Me will move anyone who has ever been labeled "different" or "outsider." It's heartwarming without being cloying, serious without being dark or overbearing, and laugh-out-loud funny. Frank, whose love of Old Hollywood and debonair style, will be the character that sticks with you weeks after you've read this, but Johnson fleshes out his supporting cast in just the right way that you'll be rooting for all of them by the final chapter.
Run, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore (fine, online if you must) and buy this book. As Frank might say, "Allons-y!"
DisneyWar by James B. Stewart
Sean Tuohy: There's quite the story behind the colorful and family friendly multi-billion dollar company that gave us our childhood memories. Stewart's book depicts how Michael Eisner took the once-fading Disney, put on the glass slipper, achieved wild success, and then lost it all. A deep and heavy read.
The Throwback Special by Chris Bachelder
Gary Almeter: Every year, a couple dozen men converge on a chain hotel located somewhere off I-95 to re-enact the "Monday Night Football" game played on Nov. 18, 1985. That's the one where New York Giants linebacker Lawrence "LT" Taylor broke Washington Redskins' quarterback Joe Theismann's leg being broken in two places and ended his career. The men have a lottery to determine who gets to be who, and then they don equipment, jerseys, helmets, and engage in a precisely choreographed re-enactment of the play.
The absurdity of this is tethered by the fact that all of these men—about whom we purposely know so very little except that all are entrenched in middle age—are struggling with the most mundane issues the other 51 weekends of the year. Marital issues, financial problems, issues with children, and questions about career choices all coalesce with the drama of the re-enactment.
Ultimately, the men have to ask what it means to be a participant in life, what it means to be an individual, what it means to engage in ritual, and what it means to be a man. The book isn't really about football, although some familiarity with the game, as well as the play in question, might be helpful. It wasn't a bad play. It's not until they ran the play that the Redskins had any regrets. Which is, it turns out, much like life.
High Dive by Jonathan Lee
Adam Vitcavage: Many books use true events to propel fictional characters into breathtaking stories. Jonathan Lee's novel does what Man Booker Prize-winner Marlon James did in A Brief History of Seven Killings, but on a completely different level. In September 1984, a bomb went off in a British hotel trying to kill the Prime Minister. While the book is technically about the event itself, it's more so about the lives of random and not-so-random people involved with the fateful day. Sounds serious, but what Lee does so well is that he was able to write a moving story while also using sly humor in all of the correct places. The main reason for picking the book up—even if the plot isn't something that appeals to you—is the mere fact that Lee's writing style is ace. Something all aspiring writers should study.
Thanks for the Trouble by Tommy Wallach
Daniel: A teenager who can't talk and rips off guests at hotels. A mysterious woman with silver hair and a healthy bankroll. There may be some added enchantment in the world Wallach creates in Thanks for the Trouble, but lead characters Parker and Zelda generate the real magic. The pair grapples with weighty themes throughout the novel, however, Wallach's sharp, witty prose and rapid-fire dialogue ensures that the tone never becomes depressing or maudlin. Parker's new experiences reflect the Young Adult genre (as Wallach explained to me during our podcast), however, those experiences feel fresh and original thanks in large part to Parker's lack of speech and reliance on a notebook to communicate. Much like Be Frank With Me, Thanks for the Trouble is sensitive without being melodramatic and is devoid of clichés and red herrings. It is a bittersweet story, well told, which makes it a welcome respite from cable news and lesser fiction.
This Side of Providence by Rachel M. Harper
Daniel: Harper's second novel features a Puerto Rican family on the wrong side of the tracks trying to stay together in the face of prison time, drug addiction, and foster care. Told in a multi-narrative style, This Side of Providence contains a plethora of memorable characters.
Cristo, the loyal son, whose young shoulders feel the weight of responsibility for taking care of his sisters when his mother lands in jail. Luz, the brainy conscience who doesn't share her brother's loyalty 100 percent, but who loves and misses her family when they are inevitably separated. The teacher struggling with an eating disorder who attempts to bring order and stability to the kids' life. The drug dealer with a heart of gold. An absent father burning with regret and shame. A mother, whose prison time is briefly a blessing, who can't escape her old life despite her overwhelming love for her children. And Trini, the youngest of the family, whose brief chapter is just as wrenching and devastating as anything Faulkner wrote.
These are characters well worth spending time with, even when they're living through their darkest hour. Harper expertly toggles from one from the other, weaving a tender, provocative story that never lacks for heart.

Extensible Storage Engine Heaps
The following is tip #4 from "25 Exchange 2003 tips in 25 minutes"
The following is Tip #4 from "25 Exchange 2003 Tips in 25 minutes." This content is excerpted from Scott Schnoll's book, "Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Distilled," brought to you by © (2004) Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison-Wesley Professional. Return to the main page for more tips on this topic.
Like other operating systems, Windows includes a process-wide heap manager that handles memory operations for all processes. Each time a process instantiates, a default heap (called the process heap) is created for that process. Programs or modules loaded in that process can also create additional heaps if needed. Exchange is one program that does this.
In Exchange 2000, each time the Exchange information store was started, the STORE.EXE process got its initial process heap. Then, a module loaded in the information store process -- ESE.DLL -- allocated four JET heaps for each processor present in the system. Although these heaps were separate pools of memory in the information store process, they were collectively referred to as the ESE multiheap. On a single CPU system, ESE allocated four JET heaps. On a dual CPU system, it allocated eight; on a quad system, it allocated sixteen; and so forth. When Exchange 2000 was installed on systems with four or more CPUs, it was found that the ESE multiheap caused excessive virtual memory consumption, which in turn led to performance problems. Ironically, the problem was worse on systems with a large amount of resources installed (multiple CPUs and multiple gigabytes of memory).
To correct this problem, Microsoft recommended that customers with large Exchange 2000 servers add the following registry entry to their systems.
Location: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ESE98\Global\OS\Memory
Value: MPHeap parallelism
Type: REG_SZ
The value data setting depended on the number of CPUs present in the system, and if you added or removed CPUs to the system in scale-up or scale-down procedures, you had to manually readjust this setting. Exchange 2003 now automatically calculates the optimum number of heaps to allocate based on the unique specifications of each system. Therefore, you should remove the
MPHeap parallelism registry entry from Exchange 2000 servers prior to upgrading to Exchange 2003.

Chunsoft's Zombie Game Revealed
Love Zombies? You will after seeing this adorable DS game!
A couple of months ago, when Chunsoft declared its intentions to return to the publishing business with Shiren the Wanderer 5, CEO Koichi Nakamura said that the studio also had an original DS zombie game in development. It seemed at the time that he was joking, but... well take a look at the characters in Chunsoft's new game:
Famitsu.com provided a first look today at " Zombie Daisuki," or "Love Zombie," to go along with coverage in its print counterpart.
Love Zombie starts off on a farm. Some baddies attacked the farm and spread a gas which turned all the residents into zombie. You'll have to take control of the zombies, leading them to the nearby town to strike back against the bad humans and to ultimately take back something important that was taken from them.
The game's genre is listed as action, but you don't directly control the zombies. Instead, you issue directives to groups of zombies. Using the stylus, you can draw a line to make the zombies move in a particular direction. Or, you can first draw a circle to select a subset of zombies, then direct them in certain ways. If you want all the zombies to gather in a particular location, you press down on one spot on the screen.
The zombies automatically attack when they see a baddie. Here are some examples of the game's enemies:
You may not always be able to control your zombies, though. Zombies love meat, so when the see meat sitting around in a stage, they'll head towards it. They also love cute animals. If they see an animal, they'll stop attacking and a heart icon will appear above them.
Each stage has a particular objective. Some require that you defeat all your foes, others require that you find a particular item. Stage terrain varies, spanning shopping centers, a film studio, and a wilderness area.
When they're not attacking town, the zombies reside on the farm, free to roam about as they please. You'll have to build up your forces here. While in town, you collect seeds which your zombies will use on the farm to plant a variety of "plants." These will grow into things like pudding and clothing, all of which have different effects on your zombies' parameters. The farm also has a special "skill garden" area where you can go to train your zombies with convenient skills.
You'll also be able to recruit new zombie troops. After clearing a stage, new zombies may be born and could become your allies.
Love Zombie is due for release in January 2011, making it Chunsoft's second release following Shiren.

Who, what, why: What happens when airdrops land?
The UK and US have started dropping aid into Mount Sinjar in Iraq. But how effective are airdrops, asks Lucy Townsend.
Parcels including food, water purification cans and solar lanterns have been dropped to thousands of Yazidis fleeing the advance of Islamic State (IS) forces. Packed into crates and parachuted in, airdrops are described as the "least favoured option" for delivering aid.
"Wastage is huge," says Andrew MacLeod, who has coordinated air drops for organisations including the Red Cross and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"Airdrops have the highest visibility on TV and the lowest impact on the ground. They are the least favoured option, used only in absolutely extreme circumstances where it is the only option."
Among the difficulties are high winds, which can blow packages off course, violence around the drop zone and damage to the crates as they hit the ground. Packages can also injure people on the ground. The RAF abandoned one planned drop into Mount Sinjar because too many people had gathered in the drop zone.
"After the Pakistan earthquake tents were dropped for people but they bounced down the hills, dropped into the rivers and got washed away," adds MacLeod.
"In other cases there can be small scale rioting or violence around the site of the airdrop. You also have to ensure that you are not dropping into dangerous ground such as marshland where people may drown trying to collect it. Then there's also things like the high protein biscuits that are often dropped can cause constipation if too many are eaten.
"From a C130 aircraft the drop zone is probably multiple hundreds of metres long. The need for an airdrop has to be so urgent that it counters the high level of wastage."
Former RAF Hercules pilot John Gladston argues that military airdrops are usually much more effective. "Parachute airdrop is a much more reliable method than 'free-drop', where aid is simply pushed out the back of the aircraft. Modern parachute airdrop of secure, well-rigged loads is a safe, reliable and accurate way of delivering large quantities of supplies, particularly humanitarian aid."
Wheat, flour, rice and maize are the foods most commonly distributed by the World Food Programme (WFP). "They tend to be more robust things, but there is always wastage," says Gregory Barrow, from the WFP.
"It is the least effective way of delivering aid, but sometimes is the only option."

On July 2nd, 2016, Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news of a four-year, $53 million contract signed between Eric Gordon and the Houston Rockets. As with most deals over the offseason, the contract was met with criticism from an NBA fan base unaccustomed to the rising salaries under a spiking cap. However, Eric Gordon has fit seamlessly into his role as the Rockets sixth-man. With almost five months to adjust to the new cap climate, how does the contract look now?
Coming off the bench for the first time in his career, Eric Gordon is igniting the Rockets second unit and torching opposition benches by burying threes at an elite rate. Averaging 17.7 points per game, Gordon is knocking down an astounding 3.8 threes, while shooting at a ridiculous 44.5% clip.
The 27-year-old sharp shooter is also proving more than capable of putting the ball on the floor and creating as a secondary playmaker, executing the occasional foray to the rim and finishing with great strength, excellent body control, and soft touch. With his combination of efficient inside-out shooting, Gordon is scoring at an unbelievable 60.3% effective field goal percentage, which would be good for 15th in the league. However, one aspect of Gordons game that's been undersold is his defense.
Coming across to the Rockets, Gordon had a national reputation as a defensive sieve. Fortunately, prior to the season, we started to hear word from those in the know that he may not be as bad as his reputation suggested. Not only has Gordon been better than advertised on defense, but per D'Antoni, he has been "great" on that end of the floor.
"What you kind of miss is when he comes to us, he's a great defender. He's not a good defender – he's a great defender," said D'Antoni.
While this may seem like the coach looking to give his player undeserved praise, the evidence suggests that D'Antoni may be onto something; The Rockets defense is 5.2 points per 100 possessions better with Gordon on the floor, and as of yesterday, he is in the 93rd percentile guarding pick and roll ball handlers.
Gordon is extremely strong and has active hands, which allows him pressure the ball and shut down penetration. With his strength, he's also capable of switching onto bigger opponents and holding his own on the block. Pair that with his success guarding pick and rolls – a staple of most NBA offenses – and you've got yourself a handy defensive player.
While Gordon's individual numbers certainly deserve to lauded, his contributions to the team's success cannot be understated. Since the return of Patrick Beverley, the two have helped lead a struggling bench unit to the sixth best mark in the NBA. In fact, in the last ten games, the Rockets bench has a +9.4 net rating – the fourth best in the league over that stretch!
Gordon's fit alongside Harden has also worked exceptionally well, with the starters plus Gordon recording a +10.9 net rating for the season. Gordons ability to thrive as the shooting guard alongside James Harden has made him a viable long-term option for a Rockets team looking to build around Harden and jump into title contention.
Through the first twenty-two games of the season, it's almost impossible to dispute Gordons position in the upper echelon of sixth-men. So far, Gordon has played his way to second in points off the bench, and he seems firmly in contention for the sixth man of the year award, alongside Lou Williams and Wilson Chandler.
Based on current form and health permitting, the Rockets appear to have acquired a perennial six man of the year candidate on a team-friendly deal. Compared to contracts for similar (even lesser) players like Jamal Crawford (4 years, $42m), Evan Turner (4 years, $70m) and Jordan Clarkson (4 years, $50m), you could even argue that Gordon is on a below market deal.
Considering the backlash from the deal on July 2nd, it's crazy to consider that Gordon may have been one of the best signings of the offseason. At 27-years old, his prime aligns perfectly with the Rockets franchise player and his fit alongside other core players like Beverley, Capela and Dekker make him a piece to build around.
At four years, $53 million, the Rockets have locked in a piece that all championship contenders need; a versatile sixth-man that can anchor bench units and close out games with the starters.

Open-source Database Solutions
For the past 30 years, data has been stored in proprietary databases that are licensed to its users. Even though a lot of current DBMS (Database Management Systems) installations are still proprietary, new data is increasingly finding its way to open-source databases as developers opt for convenience and enterprises save cost without compromising on security or scalability.
Open-source databases have come a long way in the past decade in terms of maturity and importance. There are a variety of reasons for the broad and accelerating adoption of Open Source Database Management Systems (OSDBMS), the number one being "Community".
The world is different from a few decades ago when the good databases were all proprietary and nobody knew how they did their magic. Now, most new databases are open source and the users either understand how they work or rest easy in the knowledge that they can find out if they want. Such community makes a software purchase/decision safe, particularly with databases, as it removes uncertainty over how to put the database to good use.
Watch the video of our New York event below: "The Open-Source Database Revolution: You Now Have a Choice." Featuring Saturn Business Systems, RDB Concepts, IBM, and four top open-source database providers.

Greg and I camped out last night under the stars near Todd Lake, near Mt. Bachelor. The sky was so beautiful with so many stars! Made me wish I could capture it in a painting. We talked about our trip to Costa Rica and made plans. Today we've spent most of the day researching Costa Rica on our computers. Lining up places to check out and stay, etc. Looking at all the transportation means of getting around, etc. We both sat with our lap tops and surfed, discussing and sharing and getting excited about our trip!
Here's a couple great links we found for traveling to Costa Rica.

perl -p -e 's/\t/ /g' tab-file.txt > no-tab-file.txt
sed 's/\t/ /g' tab-file.txt > no-tab-file.txt
both commands above depending on the version of sed will replace TAB's with 5x space character.

TOKYO, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Aeon Co Ltd, Japan's largest retailer by sales, posted a 20.4 percent jump in operating profit for the nine months ended November, boosted by improved performance at its struggling general merchandising store business.
Operating profit for the nine months was 102.8 billion yen ($916.87 million), versus 85 billion yen a year ago.
The supermarket and shopping mall operator maintained its full-year operating profit forecast of 200 billion yen.
Aeon has been undergoing restructuring as it looks to turn around its general merchandising store business along with plans to expand into Asia and boost its online operations. ($1 = 112.1200 yen) (Reporting by Sam Nussey; Editing by Himani Sarkar)

Fran, I am so sorry for your loss. Her death is a loss for the entire art world. Kari's work is brilliant and profound, as she was as a person.
I don't know if you remember me--I am the student at California State University in Northridge who wrote a paper on kari's work a couple of years ago. The two of you were kind enough to have us for tea when my husband and I were visiting in San Francisco.
My deepest sympathy,

The ethics of covering someone else's art with yours
Would a tiki offend Oceanside Samoans?
Ken Leighton 10:30 a.m., Nov. 15
Workplace discrimination comes in many forms, from the subtlest type of excluding some affected employees in work discussions to blatant racism and ageism.
It's nothing new and broad efforts over several decades at the state and federal levels have attempted to bring fairness to the workplace for everyone. These laws and regulations have the best of intentions.
Yet, in 2014 there remains a very sticky issue that very few people want to talk about, and isn't on the radar of most companies. That issue – the needs of pregnant workers and new mothers – is a lingering form of gender discrimination that never seems to go away.
A study for the National Partnership for Women & Families shows that women in their child-bearing years face workplace obstacles that either employers are unable or unwilling to resolve. And, in many cases, these women don't speak up because they are afraid of repercussions.
Some of the partnership's findings were:
Sixty-one percent of respondents said they either worked for someone else or were self-employed during their pregnancy.
Seventy-one percent said they needed some minor adjustments on the job to protect their health during pregnancy. Most often it was the need for more frequent work breaks once they become pregnant.
Yet 42 percent of those women never asked their employers to accommodate them. Many of those said they either weren't sure how to ask for accommodations, or they feared repercussions, refusal, or uncertainty about how their requests would be received.
More than one in four new mothers reported experiencing bias from their employers due to perceptions of their "desire, ability, and commitment" to doing their jobs.
Fifty-eight percent of new mothers said breast-feeding upon their return to work had been a challenge.
"The experiences of pregnant women and new moms across the country demonstrate that not enough is being done to ensure that the nation's workplaces have the basic policy standards necessary to prevent discrimination and promote the cultural changes America's women and families need and deserve," says Debra L. Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families.
In 2011, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said 47 percent of the nation's workforce was composed of women. A large percentage of that population is in the child-bearing years.
"At a time when having a job during and after a pregnancy is a financial necessity for many women and their families, the data and experiences of mothers show that much more needs to be done to ensure fair and supportive workplaces," Ness said.

WASHINGTON – They didn't have champagne in the locker room after winning the NBA title, but the 1977-78 Washington Bullets are going to be honored at the Verizon Center Saturday night, 35 years after their Game 7 win over the Seattle Supersonics.
'The Washington Bullets have won it all'
WTOP's Max Smith
The team had experienced stars like Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, Bob Dandridge and Phil Chenier alongside younger players like Kevin Grevey and Mitch Kupchak.
After beating the Hawks, Spurs and Julius Irving's 76ers as the three-seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Bullets entered an unusual series against the Seattle Supersonics.
"Back then, they didn't reserve the arenas in advance," Kupchak, who is now the general manager of the Lakers, says. "The NBA wasn't that big. So when we got to the finals, the people in Seattle and the people in Washington said, 'Well, when's your building available, and when's our building available, so we can figure out when to play?'"
Due to scheduling conflicts for building use, the Bullets ended up flying across the U.S. several times.
"The first game was in Seattle, then we flew back to Washington for two, flew back to Seattle for two, flew back to Washington for one, then flew back to Seattle for Game 7," Kupchak says. "So that's the odd thing about that series that many people don't remember," Kupchak says.
Another odd thing: the celebration after the Bullets' Game 7 win at the Kingdome.
"We all jumped off the court [and] sprinted to the locker room, just knowing that there was going to be a setup with bottles of champagne that you can grab the bottles and pull the corks and start shooting at each other, and we got into the locker room and there was nobody in there," Kupchak says. "There was nothing in there. So we're jumping around, looking around, and then we kinda realize that there's nothing there. So somebody went and got some Heineken beers in the bottle and you shook those up and you popped them."
Bernie Bickerstaff was an assistant coach on the team. He remembers the big parade as Washington celebrated its first major sports title in 36 years.
"The fans were out and we were in the cars with the tops down, and it was terrific," he says.
The Bullets went back to the finals the next year and lost. The franchise has not been back since. The last time a Washington team won a title in one of the "big four" sports was the 1991 NFL season, when Mark Rypien led the Redskins over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI.
The Wizards will honor the Bullets' title team at halftime during Saturday night's game against the Pacers.

To continue learning, improving and finding my voice I have made a small experimental step into the world of film based photography. I am old enough to have used a 35mm film camera as a child (and teenager) until digital dominated and became the default way of working in the industry. At that point in my life I had no idea that I would pick up a camera professionally, I only used a film camera like 95% of the public, for happy snaps. I never learnt how to actually "use" a camera properly. Point and click, load in film, take it to the chemist to get processed.
Move forward 15+ years and I learnt how to use a camera in the way it was intended, but something was missing and I still need to find it.
My interest started again with film based photography because my editing was slowly looking at emulating some of the looks that you naturally get with film. This style is becoming really common in the digital world. Apps like Instagram have made it cool to emulate polaroid and other film cameras. The issue with this for me it's not really a look that was aesthetically complete. Note, I don't think there is anything wrong with throwing a filter on a digital image, I do it all the time.
Added to my interest with looking and watching the work from industry professionals that use medium and large format cameras to achieve a look that just isn't possible with a 35mm based camera. At a workshop run by Australian fashion photographer of the year (2014) Peter Coulson, I saw the range that a medium format camera could produce first hand. Peter allowed me to have a quick play with his camera and it was like getting behind a Ferrari. The issue is that these cameras are stupidly expensive ($50k anyone?). That being said, a non-digital version of these types of cameras are now quite common on Ebay. The trade in older cameras is actually really big but I never got around to purchasing a system as I didn't really know where to start.
In the last couple of months I got chatting to fellow photographer Ed Jones about his conversion back to film photography. As Ed lives in Wynard (about 2 hours from me) it took a while for both of us the be in the same place. Last week I was up his way for a job and real world interaction happened. One of the outcomes from this meeting was Ed lent me his Mamiya 645AFD medium format camera to try out. This made me stupidly excited but also nervous. Each roll has 16 frames on it, I cannot see what the exposures will look like for weeks (currently Christmas/New Years). Will I screw this up completely? Do I actually know what I am doing? Am I overthinking this?
So with camera in tow I did a shoot with my friend Jen. It took 2 hours for me to use 16 frames. I had to slow down. I had to use my external meter. I had to be sure before pressed the shutter release. I couldn't help but to look at the back of a camera that doesn't have a LCD screen. I have no idea if anything came out.
From this the realisation that I need to do more of this type of photography. Even if I don't publish anything, I need to do more. Why? Because I need to use it to build my confidence. I need to be able to take an image on any camera and "know" that I got it without looking at the LCD. I thought I was really confident before, I could shoot a theatre production (stupidly hard) and only look at the LCD every 30-50 frames and know I had something but that is still a crutch. Digital gives you ability to just shoot, space is cheap, it's easy to view instantly. I want to be able to pick up a camera, look at the light of the subject, do my setting and know that I got the shot regardless of using a digital or film based camera. No confidence LCD checking required. Chimping is a crutch that we all use, but I am determined to become a better photographer and use film for improvement as well as aesthetic creativity.
So while I want to use a film camera for the amazing look it provides (original objective), it has taught me something more valuable. How to slowdown and really think about what I am shooting and that, I feel, is something totally missing from anyone that picks up a digital camera and I didn't know I was missing it until last Monday night.
So what about the frames I have shot?
Well we will see if I totally screwed up after New Years. More experiments to come over the next couple of weeks.

From Reuters:
U.S. Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki has been invited to Taiwan in what would be Washington's first high-level visit to the island since 2000, officials said Tuesday.
China has claimed sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan since 1949, when Mao Zedong's forces won the Chinese civil war and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists (KMT) fled to the island.
Beijing asks that its diplomatic allies, including Washington, avoid official contact with Taiwan.

Tony A. Version of Step 3 as found in his book, The Laundry List
We made a decision to practice self-love and to trust a Higher Power of our understanding.
from page 56-57 of The Laundry List:
"Instead of surrendering our lives to the sick parents that reside within us, we choose to put our faith in a spiritual power greater than ourselves, however we choose to define it. In my efforts to resolve the difficulties in my life, I recognized that I would have to accept myself and learn to nurture myself. I found that I could no longer give myself and learn to nurture yourself. I found that I could no longer give myself away to the needs or demands of others.
…. Just as it is our Higher Power's responsibility to give us unconditional love, it is our responsibility to give our child-self unconditional love.
…. I also learned that this nurturing approach could help me heal the break with my parents. I could sit in silence and visualize my father as a frightened, confused, defensive little boy [and surely he was] and visualize myself hugging his little child. In my efforts to practice self-acceptance and self-appreciation, I began to discern healthy actions from unhealthy actions, toxic people from accepting and sensible people, positive situations from negative ones — and to take actions that moved me toward self-love."
ACA Official Step 3 / Alanon Step 3
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand God.

Last year my former graduate student and current research colleague Jennifer Harrison and I followed a group of new graduates during the early phases of their job search. We collected a set of measures at planned intervals to capture their progress and experience during the process. In particular, we were interested in what personal characteristics provided support over what was certain to be a lengthy and challenging search. I am currently organizing our findings in preparation for a paper.
As this generation emerges in to the job market, they face a particular challenge. First, the labour market has changed. There has been movement away from full-time, permanent employment to contingent work arrangements. Second, the relationship between the individual and work has changed. Studies have demonstrated that emergent workers are searching for meaningful work rather than simply looking for an entry level position from which they can grow a career. In other words, expectations for a first job have changed relative to earlier generations who searched for an organization where they could spend a career. Third, the education level of the population has increased. More people are graduating with Bachelor's degrees increasing the competition for jobs among this population. The result is that emergent workers are facing the most competitive job market for young people that we have seen in generations.
In our study, we looked at whether factors such as hope, optimism, resilience, and self-efficacy would support emergent workers as they faced the challenge of today's job market. These are all related yet distinct constructs. Each has enjoyed some popular appeal lately. With the rise of "positivity," many articles and books have been written on the benefits of each of these variables. Yet, to date, research has not distinguished among them and determined their utility in specific contexts.
The research tells us quite clearly that there are times when positive thinking is counterproductive. For instance, when faced with adversity, people who had a positive outlook are less likely to overcome the challenge when compared to those who view the upcoming event as a challenge to be overcome. These studies have led us to predict that factors such as optimism and hope would be less helpful on a prolonged job search. We predicted that resilience, bouncing back when faced with failure, and self-efficacy, confidence in one's ability to complete a task, would be the best predictors of success. The early data is supporting our hypothesis regarding resilience, but the same is not true for self-efficacy.
The early results indicate that resiliency will buoy a job searcher over the long haul. So when preparing for a job search, update your resume, plan your networking and actively work on improving your response to failure. Rising to the challenge and responding to adversity are key to success in today's job market.

I remember fifty years ago seeing a mother chase her child with a stick, shouting "I brought you into this world and I can put you in the cemetery!" Luckily, the child was faster than his mother. But the idea of a "right" to hit a child is no laughing matter.

Why Positive Parenting Trumps Physical Punishment When It Comes to Disciplining Kids
Even in the best of circumstances, parenting is super hard work and takes tremendous patience. When we have so many other concerns in life and then we add in a child who is misbehaving, it is tempting to give the child a smack. But let me tell you what the research shows: Spanking does not achieve our parenting goals.
Can You Discipline Your Child Without Using Punishment?
When we talk about discipline, we usually refer to the efforts by parents and teachers to reduce or eliminate annoying or inappropriate child behaviors. Punishment is designed to suppress or reduce behavior and may appear like the perfect match for these goals. The term "discipline" includes the notions of instruction but also of punishment.

"Fuse" Group Exhibition @ HUD Gallery, Ventura, CA
Carly Drew
For the month of December I will have a total of 8 pieces on display at the HUD Gallery in Ventura, California for their fall group exhibition "Fuse." Below are some of the pieces you can see in the show. Any inquiries should be directed to HUD Gallery.
Today is also a bit of a landmark for me...while tonight isn't the first time I'll have two openings the same night, it is the first time I've had dual openings on each coast! Tonight is the opening reception for "Fuse" in California and it's also the opening for "Unseen Greenville" in Greenville, SC. Unfortunately I can't be in two places at onces, but it's still exciting all the same! I also have work in a show that closes this week at the Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles, MO for the "Going Home" exhibit. If you're in any of these places be sure to stop by and check them out!

Critic's Notebook: Is Harper Lee's 'Go Set a Watchman' a Cliche of Writing About the South?
No one should be surprised by the news that Atticus Finch, the hero of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, becomes a bigot that opposes the civil rights movement in the author's upcoming Go Set a Watchman. Fans of the beloved original, which civil rights legend and former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young called "an act of humanity," saying "here are people who rise above their prejudices and even above the law," will be infuriated.
But the story of an adult Southerner who has moved to the North (in Scout's case to New York City) and then is disillusioned by the racism and backwards thinking she sees on a return visit home — epitomized, in this case, by her father, Atticus — was a staple of mid-century southern literature. Indeed, Watchman (or at least what we can glean from the already released first chapter, as well as early reviews) reads like a cliché of 1950s writing.
Southern literature is indeed riddled with expatriates who love their native land, leave it for school or some other reason and then are disillusioned on their return as they see its original sin — racism — clearly for the first time.
It is no surprise that the great Mississippi writer Willie Morris titled his memoir North to Home.
Or take William Faulkner, who lived in Toronto for a period and moved out to California in the 1930s to write screenplays, and who played with this theme in the classic Absalom, Absalom. In one famous scene, Quentin, a young southerner at Harvard, tries to reconcile his love of his native region with a growing understanding of its racism and inequality.
"Tell about the South," said Shreve McCannon. "What do they do there? How do they live there? Why do they?…Tell me one more thing. Why do you hate the South?"
"I don't hate it," Quentin said, quickly, at once, immediately; "I don't hate it," he said. "I don't hate it he thought, panting in the cold air, the iron New England dark: I don't. I don't! I don't hate it! I don't hate it!"
(Spoiler alert: Quentin can't come to terms with the gap between Southern myth and reality, so he jumps off a bridge).
Other examples include James Agee, who wrote Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, about rural poverty; Robert Penn Warren, whose All the King's Men is the classic tale of southern demagoguery; and historian C. Vann Woodward, who left his native Arkansas for Yale University, where he wrote a devastating account of southern racism and inequality in The Strange Career of Jim Crow (a book whose influence was so great that Martin Luther King Jr. called it "the bible of the civil rights movement"). And the list goes on.
The real surprise of Watchman isn't that Atticus — and the story in general — appears to embody and reflect major clichés of mid-century writing about the South; it is that Lee managed to transcend those very clichés in Mockingbird, writing a morally powerful and original novel with universal appeal.

2016 polls: Mahama must keep Veep
It will be politically incorrect for President John Mahama to replace Vice-President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur as his running mate for the 2016 elections, a senior lecturer at the political science department of the University of Ghana, Dr Evans Aggrey Darko has said.
According to Dr Aggrey Darko, President Mahama will do the National Democratic Congress (NDC) a lot of favour if he maintains the former governor of the Bank of Ghana as his running mate. He said in the history of world politics, hardly do incumbent presidents change their running mates.
He, however, said the prerogative rests with the President based on the chemistry existing between the two of them.
In his opinion, President Mahama must take into account, the implications his decision could have on the party's electoral fortunes in the Central Region – Mr Amissah-Arthur's home region.
"I don't think it will be politically correct for the NDC if the President changes his running mate. I think the President is likely to settle on the Vice-President once again," Dr Aggrey Darko told Class News on Wednesday.
He noted that in the USA, Presidents, who decided to change their running mates suffered serious political backlash, which eventually affected their electoral fortunes.
"Choosing a running mate is not about being active or not," Dr Aggrey Darko said in response to critics who say Mr Amissah-Arthur dull-nature makes him unfit to occupy the position.
"If you look at the constitution and the role of the Vice-President, you will realise that if you are the President and want to really engage the Vice-President, you will, because he virtually serves at your pleasure.
"[A] lot of the things the Vice-President does is based on delegation of authority from the President," he said, adding that: "If you are a President and you want to engage your Vice-President you will be able to engage him. If you don't want to, then he becomes a passenger in your administration," Dr Aggrey Darko observed.
According to him, Ghanaians cannot say Mr Amissah-Arthur has not been working because behind the scenes, he is an economist of repute "so you will not be able to say that he has not worked".

I then brainstormed a bunch of words that described what biking was like for my hubby. and then arranged them so they would fit on to the vinyl. Since my vinyl is only 8 inches wide and built it using 2 pieces. I lined it up on the board and stuck it down.
Once it was all stuck down as best as it would, (I think I used some old vinyl cause it didn't want to stick very well)I put tape on the edges as to not get paint on them. Then I sprayed over the front with white paint.
The finished product! I love it and so did my hubby. This project really was so easy and so I have many more plans for more signs.
