This chapter provides instructions on how to configure logging and how to view log information in the Sun GlassFishTM Enterprise Server v3 environment.
The following topics are addressed here:
Instructions for accomplishing these tasks and also for editing properties by using the Administration Console are contained in the Administration Console online help.
Logging is the process by which Enterprise Server captures information about events that occur during server operation, such as configuration errors, security failures, or server malfunction. This data is recorded in a log file, and is usually the first source of information when problems occur. Analyzing the log files can help you to determine the health of the server.
Although application components can use the Apache Commons Logging Library to record messages, the platform standard JSR 047 API is recommended for better log configuration.
The following topics are addressed here:
Enterprise Server log records are captured in the server log. The server log is named server.log by default and is typically located in domain-dir/logs. You can change the default name or location of the server log by using the Administration Console.
In addition to the server log, the domain-dir/logs directory contains the following additional logs:
HTTP service access logs, located in the /access subdirectory
Transaction service logs, located in the /tx subdirectory
When the server log reaches the specified size in bytes, the log is rotated and renamed with a timestamp name to server.log_date, where date is the date and time that the file was rotated. You can also rotate this log manually by following instructions in Rotating the Server Log.
Enterprise Server log records follow a uniform format:
[#|yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.SSS-Z|Log Level|ProductName-Version|LoggerName|Key Value Pairs|Message|#]
[# and #] mark the beginning and end of the record.
The vertical bar (|) separates the fields of the record.
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.SSSS-Z specifies the date and time that the record was created. For example: 2006-10-21T13:25:53.852-0400
Log Level specifies the desired log level. You can select any of the following values: SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, and FINEST. The default is INFO.
ProductName-Version refers to the current version of the Enterprise Server. For example: glassfish
LoggerName is a hierarchical logger namespace that identifies the source of the log module. For example: javax.enterprise.system.core
Key Value Pairs refers to pairs of key names and values, typically a thread ID. For example: _ThreadID=14;
Message is the text of the log message. For all Enterprise Server SEVERE and WARNING messages and for many INFO messages, the message begins with a message ID that consists of a module code and a numerical value. For example: CORE5004
An example log record might look like this:
[#|2006-10-21T13:25:53.852-0400|INFO|GlassFish10.0|javax.enterprise. system.core|_ThreadID=13;|CORE5004: Resource Deployed: [cr:jms/DurableConnectionFactory].|#]
The Administration Console presents log records in a more readable display.
You can use the list-logger-levels(1) subcommand to list the existing loggers for the modules. Example loggers:
javax.enterprise.system.container.cmp: INFO javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin: INFO javax.enterprise.system.container.web: INFO javax.enterprise.system.util: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.timing: INFO javax: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.corba: INFO javax.enterprise.system.core.naming: INFO javax.enterprise.system.core.selfmanagement: INFO javax.enterprise.system.container.ejb: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.config: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.javamail: INFO org.apache.catalina: INFO javax.enterprise.system.core.config: INFO javax.enterprise.system.webservices.rpc: INFO javax.enterprise.system.webservices.registry: INFO javax.enterprise.system.tools.deployment: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.jms: INFO javax.enterprise.system: INFO javax.enterprise.system.webservices.saaj: INFO org.apache.jasper: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.lifecycle: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.jta: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.jdo: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.resourceadapter: INFO javax.enterprise.system.core.transaction: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.resource: INFO javax.enterprise.system.core.security: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.application: INFO javax.enterprise.system.core.classloading: INFO org.apache.coyote: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.managedbean: INFO javax.enterprise.system.container.ejb.mdb: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.context: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.renderkit: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.facelets: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.taglib: INFO
The log level determines the granularity of the message that is logged, from error only (SEVERE) to detailed debug (FINEST). The following values apply: SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, and FINEST. These log levels are hierarchically inclusive, which means that if you set a particular log level, such as INFO, the messages that have log levels above that level (SEVERE and WARNING) are also included. If you set the log level to the lowest level, FINEST, your output will include all the messages in the file. The default setting is INFO.
There are two levels of log settings available: global and logger-specific. If you have chosen a logger-specific setting that is different from the global setting, the logger-specific setting takes precedence.
Setting the global log level is done by editing the logging.properties file. Logging levels for the individual modules are set by using the asadmin subcommands as explained in this section
Because setting log levels is a dynamic operation, you do not need to restart Enterprise Server for changes to take effect.
The following topics are addressed here:
Use the list-logger-levels subcommand in remote mode to list the modules and their current log levels.
Ensure that the server is running.
Remote subcommands require a running server.
List the existing module loggers by using the list-logger-levels(1) subcommand.
This example shows a partial list of the existing loggers and indicates how their log levels are set.
asadmin> list-logger-levels javax.enterprise.system.container.cmp: INFO javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin: INFO java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler: FINEST javax.enterprise.system.container.web: INFO javax.enterprise.system.util: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.timing: INFO javax: INFO javax.enterprise.resource.corba: INFO ... Command list-logger-levels executed successfully.
You can also view the full syntax and options of the subcommand by typing asadmin help list-logger-levels at the command line.
The global log level specifies which kinds of events are logged across all loggers. The default level for message output to the console is INFO (which also includes SEVERE and WARNING messages).
You configure global logging by editing the logging.properties file. The default logging.properties file is located in the same directory as the domain.xml file, typically domain-dir/config. You can choose a different file name by using the java.util.logging.config.file system property to specify a file name. For example:
java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=myfile
The ConsoleHandler has a separate log level setting that limits the messages that are displayed. For example:
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = com.sun.enterprise.server.logging.UniformLogFormatter
If you set the log level at the root level, you are setting the level of all loggers. This example sets the log level for all loggers to INFO:
.level= INFO
A module log level specifies which kinds of events are logged for a particular logger. The default level for message output to the console is INFO (which also includes SEVERE and WARNING messages). The global log level is overridden by a module-specific log level.
By default, the module log level is set to FINE. The lines for the loggers might look like this (the modules are indicated in bold):
#javax.enterprise.system.tools.level=FINE #javax.enterprise.system.container.ejb.level=FINE #javax.enterprise.system.core.security.level=FINE #javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin.level=FINE #javax.enterprise.level=FINE #javax.enterprise.system.container.web.level=FINE
Because setting log levels is a dynamic operation, you do not need to restart Enterprise Server for changes to take effect.
Ensure that the server is running.
Remote subcommands require a running server.
List the existing module loggers by using the list-logger-levels(1) subcommand.
Set the log level for a module by using the set-log-level(1) subcommand.
Your choices are SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, and FINEST.
This example sets the log level for the web container logger to FINE.
asadmin> set-log-level javax.enterprise.system.container.web.level=FINE Command set-log-level executed successfully.
This example sets the log level for security and web container loggers.
asadmin> set-log-level javax.enterprise.system.core.security.level=FINE javax.enterprise.system.container.web=WARNING Command set-log-level executed successfully.
You can also view the full syntax and options of the subcommand by typing asadmin help set-log-level at the command line.
Logs are rotated automatically based on settings in the logging.properties file. You can change these settings by using the Administration Console.
You can rotate the server log file manually by using the rotate-log subcommand in remote mode. The server log in the default location is immediately moved to a time-stamped file and a new server log is created.
Because log rotation is a dynamic operation, you do not need to restart Enterprise Server for changes to take effect.
Ensure that the server is running.
Remote subcommands require a running server.
Rotate a log by using the rotate-log(1) subcommand.
This example moves the server.log file to yyyy-mm-dd_server.log and creates a new server.log file in the default location.
asadmin> rotate-log Command rotate-log executed successfuly.
You can also view the full syntax and options of the subcommand by typing asadmin help rotate-log at the command line.
By default, all logging information is captured in the server.log file, typically located in domain-dir/logs. You can view logging information by using the Log Viewer in the Administration Console. Instructions for using the Administration Console logging functions are contained in the Administration Console online help.
To view information that has been collected for a module, you can open the server.log file in a text editor and search for the module that you are interested in.

Explore the ways in which Huxley and Eliot present Religion in their novels.
Aldous Huxley and George Eliot both wrote about societies in which individuality was a central issue. Huxley was the author of "ÃÂBrave New World,' which was first published in 1932. He writes about a time far in the future, when people do not have the freedom to make their own decisions, but are forced to conform within a society that dictates how their lives should be run. Huxley himself was brought up in a very strict, disciplined manner, and this is reflected in his novel. Huxley's formative experiences lead him to explore how strict and intolerant human society could potentially become. It must also be recognised that politics and the development of socialism and communism was a key issue for writers of this period. Huxley was well aware that communist societies were seeking to eliminate religion. However, any utopian idea of a perfect society could easily become subverted into a dictatorship as could be seen in Russia at the time.
George Eliot, whose proper name was Mary Ann Evans, was born in 1819, almost one hundred years earlier than Huxley. Eliot wrote about a time before her own, when people still lived in small communities before the Industrial Revolution. She too had a difficult childhood. Religion was an important and integrated part of her life as she was growing up. However, in her novel "ÃÂSilas Marner,' we find that Silas turns away from religion, feeling that is has failed him. Possibly, this is a portrayal of Eliot's own lack of faith, as she had developed atheist convictions prior to writing the novel. This essay will look at the key religious issues that are examined by both writers and make comparisons between them.
Religion is one...

Over 550 businesses and schools have used a scavenger game application available on iPhone and Android mobile devices to drive and enhance their advertising and promotions. The SCVNGR app development platform includes notable users such as the Boston Celtics, Boston Globe, New England Patriots, Journeys, The New York Times, Universal Music Canada, Warner Bros, as well as colleges and universities including Princeton. Using mobile games as a platform for ads and promotions is one of the latest trends in consumer engagement, especially the millennial generation that grew up on video gaming.
The essence of the SCVNGR platform is three interconnecting elements: Challenges, which are things to do at places; Treks, which connect places and challenges; and Rewards, that offer benefits for playing. Players earn points in a Challenge – checking-in is worth a point, telling your friends where you are is worth 2 points, and and providing content about a location such as a picture is also worth 2 points. The platform's database is understood to include already over 20 millions locations.
Marketing opportunities abound, from directing a Trek to a specific location with advertising and promotion opportunities along the journey and at the destinations, through utilizing consumer experiences and user generated content that involves the brand at Challenges and Treks. Of course, the Rewards can easily be tied to photo opportunities and further promotions. Fun and games are thereby able to leverage off brand related content, locations & competition.
For instance, a Philadelphia Diamond retailer, Robbins Diamonds, fashioned an interactive city-wide treasure hunt to find a hidden diamond ring. Clues were delivered to competitors cellphone's by SMS text messages, mobileweb or in-app notifications. Pre-event publicity and media coverage included media from traditional print through to digital blogs. As a result, there were almost 2,000 applications for the 250 available spots and 2.5 million impressions for the retailer in TV, print, radio & internet immediately before their busiest season. See the full case study at scvngr.com
Advertising and promotions are no longer one way streets – mobile apps like SCVNGR & others are paving the way for experiential marketing utilizing the mobility benefits of those media and mediums that are with us 24/7 – the mobile phone. As Robbins Diamonds was able to accomplish, you can use a mobile app to rise above the noise produced by your competitors and saturated ad markets. As well, by involving your customers in an experience they will remember and associate with your product, you are creating a positive top of mind recall event that will be hard to match through conventional ads or promotional opportunities.

It is no coincidence that the addition of Angus Grant, home on holiday, and the surprising but welcome return fitness of the wiry, rubber legged Dan Crossley has helped spark a sensational run of results and form for Carloway.
The addition of these two class acts has finely tuned what was already a turbocharged Carloway machine, solid in defence, strong in the middle but now deadlier in attack than a pit of spitting vipers.
They have been ominously moving into the rear view mirror of long time leaders West Side and last Friday night Na Gormaich dumped the clutch, roared round their neighbours and pulled clear in front on their own - and with the luxury of having played a game less.
The Lewis and Harris League leaders travelled to Carloway with a slender single point lead knowing a defeat would hand the title advantage to Carloway who have also played a game less.
West Side actually started by far the better side and a series of corners flashed across the goal, were bloc ked on the goal line and poked clear just in the nick of time with West wondering how they didn't take the lead.
It was a hugely encouraging start for the Siarachs but they couldn't make it count and Carloway took the lead through their first chance.
That man Angus Grant, maker and stealer of headlines, in recent weeks, was at the fore again as he showed great skill to bamboozle Donnie Smith and race past Euan Shirkie before rolling the ball across the box for Kenny 'Dokus' Macdonald to lash Carloway 1-0 up.
The visitors tried to come back at Carloway with Martainn Shields looking especially dangerous on the left wing where he had the beating of Cameron Macarthur for most of the first-half but there were no takers for his crosses he whipped across the face of goal.
At the other end Carloway doubled their advantage as Grant was afforded the freedom of the West Side box and enough time to collect the ball, steady himself and pick the bottom corner for 2-0.
Grant added a third before the break with a volley at the back post from a corner with the Carloway man left completely unmarked and his volley wasn't particularly well struck but it squirmed through a forest of players and between West Side keeper David Murray's legs.
Carloway went into the dressing room with a huge 3-0 half-time lead but it had been a half where there had not been three goals between them in general play.
But early in the second-half the gulf was extended to four after Andrew 'Pongo' Maciver late run from deep bypassed West's attempts to play offside with his powerful charge taking him to the ball first and heading it on before Murray wiped him out.
Skipper Domhnall Mackay gave Murray the eyes and coolly dispatched the ball home for the fourth.
West Side won a penalty of their own within 60-seconds of the game retstarting and Shields placed the ball down and rifled it into the bottom corner beyond the diving gloves of Gordon Craigie.
It was a glimmer of hope for West but despite their best efforts they made little inroads through the steely Carloway rearguard.
Set pieces were proving their best chance but while Carloway were living a charmed life and making last ditch blocks West couldn't make them count.
Scott Graham did pull another goal back moments before the end with a well placed header from 12 -yards.

As I've written so many times before, the blessings of leading students to a deep spiritual relationship is that most of the time I get the sacred privilege of watching them go on and begin their own lives. Some of those students stick around for a while, and I get a chance to watch as they fall in love, and start their own families.
So tomorrow, I'm on my way to Phoenix Arizona to perform a wedding for two of my former students. They both started as campers out at K-Colorado, and then came on staff for a few years.
Thursday, I'll get a chance to perform another time honored sacred traditional marriage to unite them in a life long adventure. I can't wait!!
We've to a van heading south for the wedding, and then back in action as we have 200 teenagers showing up in Durango on Monday.
Life is crazy right now, but OH what a ride!!
Please pray for traveling mercies, and good stories with my van of great friends.
Phoenix….Here I come.

TO combat high infant mortality rates and teach young mothers about giving birth in the 18th Century, midwife Angélique Marguerite Le Boursier du Coudray (1712-1790) created this fantastic full-size obstetric mannequin, consisting of the lower part of a female body, a newborn doll and anatomical parts. It's made from leather, cotton and canvas.
Louis XV authourized du Coudray to teach in the kingdom.
In 1759, de Courdray began a 25-year long tour of France, during which she is estimated to have trained more than 5,000 doctors, nurses and surgeons in childbirth.
She wrote:
"While waiting to deliver the woman, we must console her most affectionately as possible: his painful condition are committed, but it must be done with air of gaiety that inspires no fear of danger. Avoid all the whispers in the ear, which could worry that fear her and unfortunate consequences."
The doll is housed at the Flaubert Museum and History of Medicine, Rouen.

i define sustainability as doing everything i can to minimize my impact on the environment. like i always say, we don't need more, we need better.
Ellice Ruiz designs clothes for modern women that are timeless and transitional, eliminating the need for consuming the latest fashion trends and clothes for every occasion. Ellice Ruiz clients are on the go and need wardrobe essentials that take them from the studio to the show and everywhere in between.
At Ellice Ruiz, we have had enough of fast fashion and cheaply made clothing. Our focus is on developing long lasting high quality garments that don't fall apart after a couple washes. The less we contribute to the overwhelming amount of textile waste, the better.
Garment Care
We are mindful of the life-cycle of our garments. Ellice Ruiz strives to make sustainable garment care easy and encourages cold-washes, line drying, and multiple wears as the foundation of an eco-friendly laundry routine. Fabrics are meticulously sourced for ease of wash and wear. We practice the 80/20 rule of design and sometimes create garments that require eco-dry cleaning, because dressing up should be fun*.
*Some luxurious fabrics require special care, i.e. silk, chiffon, and wool.
We use a combination of deadstock and sustainability sourced wholesale fabrics. We try to use significantly more natural fiber fabrics like cotton, linen, and wool than synthetic fabrics like polyester, rayon, & nylon. Sustainable fabric sourcing is one of the most time consuming aspects of our design process but we strive to make the best selections for the environment and for you.
Fabric Scraps
We're striving for zero waste so we try to use our fabric scraps in clever ways. We use leftover fabric from our Angie T-shirt to make our sustainable panties. We also donate our fabric scarps to crafting circles and schools to use for their arts and crafts projects.
Recycle, Repurpose, & Rethink
At Ellice Ruiz, we are environmentalists at heart. We recycle our paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass. We repurpose materials as best we can. We are rethinking the old systems and creating sustainable strategies for ethical garment production and care.
Made in LA
Designer Ellice Ruiz creates and produces her entire collection in Los Angeles. First, local construction greatly reduces pollution from overseas production because the garments don't have to across an ocean after they've been made. Second, it allows for small batch production and we don't have to over produce our collections to meet minimums set by the factories in other countries. Third, we throughly vet our manufacturers to ensure their facilities are safe and their employees are treated with care. Finally, we support the local economy by paying local producers a fair-wage.
Living Wage
We believe in treating people the way you want to be treated. Ellice Ruiz is committed to providing a living wage that promotes a healthy work/life balance for our team. Social sustainability is a way for businesses to help elevate people and their communities through ethical business practices that benefit society and empower people.
Ellice Ruiz believes in community over competition. We want to support our creative friends by showcasing their work and partnering with like-minded entrepreneurs. We think buying local is the most sustainable way to support our community.
The most sustainable fashion business is resale because it extends the lifecycle of garments. Of course, we had to incorporate that into our business model. We are interested in partnering with resale companies to offer a curated selection of designer vintage and gently used garments.
Ellice Ruiz ships all of orders in compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable shipping boxes. Again, we're aiming for zero-waste. EcoEnclose offers the best selection of eco-friendly packaging materials.
The only way we are going to shift the fashion industry towards responsible consumption and production is to share our experiences: victories & (yes) failures. Ellice Ruiz is committed to sharing our sustainable development, production, and fulfillment solutions for others to adopt. We are devoted to showing you the True Cost of each garment and connecting you with #WhoMadeMyClothes. Please follow along as we share our journey towards building a sustainable and ethical "fashion" business.
Cruelty Free
Ellice Ruiz will never use animal fur or feathers in our original designs or sell products that do. For us, banning fur is easy because it is unnecessarily cruel. Leather on the other hand is a bit more complicated for us. Leather is a by-product from our inhumane beef industry and cows raised for their hides. We believe it is wasteful for those skins to be unused. A more effective solution to curbing the grotesque treatment of cows and animals alike is to eat less meat. We only use reclaimed or recycled leather leftover from other manufacturers to make garments that would from benefit from the durability that leather offers.

Sincerely you, at the bottom of an inscrutable bottom, don't you think
that happiness is something beginning? Don't you think it's something
that happens as we reveal ourselves, our small underselves
to each other? It is something.
Sincerely we,
once were two trees, now we are one tree, now we are growing slowly
over one hundred years, who can say they have seen this,
sincerely who,
can say that time hasn't shrugged them back against a pond
and bent them over?
Sincerely my,
fate is consistent with yours, the nocturnes are turning,
there is music,
sincerely it,
sounds like new pain singing to old pain, once we become happy
we will know it by heart.
Sincerely I,
know how the city rises in you and what your knees look like underwater
and why memory loops through the mind like a wrecking ball.
Sincerely all,
the past is this and all the past is connected to us it is wired
up and down our bodies.
Sincerely try,
to picture two lives vertical together, the sky wondering why we are
always trying to begin a taller union.
It takes a hundred years to know why we do this, this excruciating
and beautiful growing. With you I mean it,
sincerely someone,
remember this one hundred years isn't long enough to be,
Sincerely yours,
KIMBERLY GREY is a former Stegner Fellow and current lecturer at Stanford University. Her first book, The Opposite of Light (Persea Books, 2016) won the 2015 Lexi Rudnitsky First Book Prize. She lives in California.

Of all the Ajax-specific frameworks that have popped up in recent years, one clearly stands out as the industrial strength solution. Dojo is not just another JavaScript toolkit—it's the JavaScript toolkit—and Dojo: The Definitive Guide demonstrates how to tame Dojo's extensive library of utilities so that you can build rich and responsive web applications like never before. Dojo founder Alex Russell gives a foreword that explains the "why" of Dojo and of this book.
Dojo: the Definitive Guide gives you the most thorough overview of this toolkit available, showing you everything from how to create complex layouts and form controls closely resembling those found in the most advanced desktop applications with stock widgets, to advanced JavaScript idioms to AJAX and advanced communication transports. With this definitive reference you get:
- Get a concise introduction to Dojo that's good for all 1.x versions
- Well-explained examples, with scores of tested code samples, that let you see Dojo in action
- A comprehensive reference to Dojo's standard JavaScript library (including fundamental utilities in Base, Dojo's tiny but powerful kernel) that you'll wonder how you ever lived without
- An extensive look at additional Core features, such as animations, drag-and-drop, back-button handling, animations like wipe and slide, and more
- Exhaustive coverage of out-of-the-box Dijits (Dojo widgets) as well as definitive coverage on how to create your own, either from scratch or building on existing ones
- An itemized inventory of DojoX subprojects, the build tools, and the DOH, Dojo's unit-testing framework that you can use with Dojo—or anywhere else
If you're a DHTML-toting web developer, you need to read this book—whether you're a one-person operation or part of an organization employing scores of developers. Dojo packs the standard JavaScript library you've always wanted, and Dojo: The Definitive Guide helps you transform your ideas into working applications quickly by leveraging design concepts you already know.

Marble Cake with Chocolate Curls for the Joan Hamburg Show/
We were honored to be invited to return to the wonderful Joan Hamburg Show to offer Joan Woody's successful version of the Marble Cake with Chocolate Pieces which Joan's mom used to make for the family. This is how we will always make our favorite Marble Cake. The chocolate curls melt in your mouth against the softness of the cake crumb.
Here's the link to the Joan Hamburg Podcast Let Me Tell You
Woody tried chocolate chips, but was not satisfied with the outcome. Lacing in 1/2 inch wide thick curls of dark chocolate gave the cake added dimensions of texture and taste.
You can also listen to the show this Saturday, April 20th, on her weekly show on 77WABC 1-2 pm EST.
Woody's Chocolate Curls Marble Butter Cake is our April recipe of the month. Click below to see the recipe.

I am honored to have a man that is a great… person, husband, father, grand father, teacher, coach (Hall of Fame), story teller and a "fb" friend as the guest writer of my 200th blog posting.
I sincerely thank him for being a "risk taker" and my friend.
Personal Museums – Mark Southworth
Collections provoke curiosity and people enjoy examining and letting their imagination create the story. We stroll through exhibits and so many questions intrude our minds. People display their own treasures to the fascination of friends. Over the years, here are some of my favorites:
Hilda's paper weights
Lance's display of ticket stubs
Duff's stamps, coins and sports memorabilia ( including an autographed Yaz shirt)
George Thiberge's Lupo's bartending vest covered with political campaign buttons
Len's 45's
Evelyn's dolls
DC and JA and their hats
Charlie and his magnificent oyster plates
Some come without great expense, and some cost a lot in money or time and effort. Regardless, they are priceless and bring many hours of happiness and pride and may even offer a glimpse into one's persona.
My personal museum is on display in " the cave". Roaming beaches for hours searching for tiny fragments glittering in the sand. When I discover one, I reach down and pick it up marveling at it's uniqueness, and wonder about the circumstances that brought this frosted piece of glass to this shore. Had it been washing up on the shore for twenty years or maybe fifty tears. From a fine bottle of wine carelessly discarded during a sunset sail, of a beer bottle accidentally dropped overboard during a fishing excursion. When I have finished cleaning all the sand off it, I place it in my pocket. When home, I spread my day's haul out and admire the contrasting colors and shapes.
My personal museum provides endless opportunities to dream a story. I enjoy this and hope that those strolling through will also.

Getting Married...For the Wrong Reasons
By Eboni Elise
Let's tell the truth.
A lot of people get married for the wrong reasons. This topic of discussion has come up amongst my various circles of friends so I decided to write a post about it.
Some know good and well that they shouldn't but do it anyway and others go into it with the right intentions but don't realize, until later, that it wasn't the best decision. Hind sight is definitely 20/20. From guys and ladies, I've heard several different reasons over drinks or chocolate chip ice cream venting sessions:
"We already lived together so I thought it was the next step."
"I was young and in love. It seemed like the thing to do at the time."
"I didn't want to lose him and I thought it would make me happier. I already invested so much time and energy into the relationship."
"We have kids together and I want them to grow up in a two-parent home."
And I'm probably sure some women were just happy they "got chose" no matter how many red flags they chose not to see (I hear the dating world is hard out there). Marriage made them feel validated.
Getting married for the wrong reasons leaves broken homes, tumultuous divorces, or unhappy people who feel stuck because they don't want it to negatively affect the kids.
Well, if you're considering marriage or at a crossroads, keep reading.
Really think about why you want to get married and if you're marrying the right one.
Part of the blame for this is the perception and expectation we have of marriage. We think that it's wonderful (and it can be but not always) and we've practically been conditioned since birth to think of marriage as the end all, be all. And watching others like the #ForeverDuncan couple will have you melt. Many enter a little too lightly without asking themselves am I ready and prepared for what's to come.
Do you have dreams of walking down the aisle in a beautiful dress with a handsome, teary eyed fiance' waiting to trade in his life? Ya'll walk into the sunset and then what?
The real deal is that marriage is wonderful but it's not for the weary. What's important is life after the wedding is over and you return from your honeymoon. I'm 7 years in so I can speak on it. If you are considering marriage, keep this in mind - Love ain't enough. Let me explain before you think I'm crazy. Love is at the core of marriage. It's part of the foundation, along with God. It's what makes you want to be together but it's not always what keeps you together.
There will come a time when life happens or when the sh*t hits the fan. Will you be ready to run away or roll your sleeves up and work with your partner to clean up the mess? It takes more than love, it takes loyalty, sacrificing your wants for your mates, constant forgiveness, accepting them for exactly who they are with all of their issues, whether from previous relationships or childhood, etc. It takes true friendship, something that keeps you there during those times when you feel like you've fallen out of love. If you want more, read this awesome post from Black Girl, Create.
Marriage is not a cure. Whatever problems that existed in your relationship before you got engaged does not mysteriously go away when you say "I do." If he had a constant problem cheating with other women before, it's not very likely that it won't happen again at some point during your marriage, no matter what you do.
Why do you REALLY want to be married? It shouldn't be to make yourself complete or happy. Learn what makes you whole so you are not giving half of yourself to a person.
Marriage shouldn't be something to do because you're approaching 30+ and your family is giving you the side eye at every get-together because you're "shacking." Or not because you already have kids with a person and you assume they aren't going to pick up on the fact that ya'll can't stand being in the same room with each other. But I'm not here to tell you what to do.
All I'm saying is, do it for the right reasons and marry someone who will go through the fire AND the clouds with you, because both will inevitably come. Listen to your gut, listen to God. If you're not totally sure, try pre-martial counseling BEFORE planning a wedding. Folks will go through with it just because they've already spent money on a venue and save-the-dates. (In my Andre 3000 voice, "Don't do it, reconsider, read some liter-ture on the subject…)
What are your thoughts? I'm curious. Let me know in the comment section below.

What is a Database?
A database is any collection of related data.
A database is a persistent, logically coherent collection of inherently meaningful data, relevant to some aspects of the real world.
What is a Database Management System?
A database management system (DBMS) is a collection of programs that enables users to create and maintain a database. According to the ANSI/SPARC DBMS Report (1977), a DBMS should be envisioned as a multi-layered system.
What Does a DBMS Do?
Database management systems provide several functions in addition to simple file management:
- allow concurrency
- control security
- maintain data integrity
- provide for backup and recovery
- control redundancy
- allow data independence
- provide non-procedural query language
- perform automatic query optimization
What is a relational database?
• a database that treats all of its data as a collection of relations
What is a relation?
- a kind of set
- a subset of a Cartesian product
- an unordered set of ordered tuples
Relational Database Operators
Data models consist of data structures and permitted operations on those data structures. Part of Codd's genius was to recognize that many of the standard set operators that can take relations as operands map nicely to real data manipulation problems:
• Cartesian product
• union
• intersection
• difference
Codd devised some additional operators to provide extra manipulatory power:
• select
• project
• join
• divide
The operators have now been extended to include more useful manipulations:
• outer join
• outer union
Relational Database Normal Forms
First Normal Form:
A relation is in first normal form (1NF) if and only if all underlying domains contain atomic values only.
Second Normal Form:
A relation is in second normal form (2NF) if and only if it is in 1NF and every non-key attribute is fully dependent on the primary key.
Third Normal Form
A relation is in third normal form (3NF) if and only if it is in 2 NF and the nonkey attributes are mutually independent.

How to Protect Wood Furniture for Outdoor Use
Most wood furniture stored outside needs to have a finish to protect it from warping, rot and insect infestation. When wood is exposed to the elements year-round, it can become unattractive and even unusable. Proper surface preparation and finishing are necessary to extend the life of your wood furniture.
Treat your wood furniture with a preservative, available at most home supply stores. Furniture made from cedar, redwood, oak and pine needs a preservative to prevent decay and rot. Preservatives are water-based or oil-based, but only water-based products are approved for extended contact with people. Because penetration is different for different types of woods, make sure the preservative you choose will work well with your specific grain. Apply the preservative with a paintbrush in a well-ventilated area.
Apply a coat of polyurethane after the preservative has dried. The polyurethane will add a protective layer over the preservative, improving its water resistance and durability. The polyurethane you select will depend on the wood grain and your color preference. Apply one coat at a time, adding another coat if you want a deeper color or if the manufacturer's instructions call for it.
Clean the wood furniture at least once a year. Add 1 tbsp. of bleach and 5 tbsp. of dishwashing liquid to 1 gal. of water and gently wash the furniture with a sponge or soft bristle brush. Rinse the furniture and let it dry completely outside.
Touch up spots that have experienced wear and tear with polyurethane or stain. Covering the furniture with a waterproof tarp is also recommended, especially during the winter.
Things You Will Need
- Wood furniture
- Wood preservative
- Paintbrush
- Rubber gloves
- Polyurethane
- Bleach
- Dishwashing liquid
- The fumes from polyurethane and preservatives can be noxious, so apply them in a well-ventilated area. Rubber gloves should be worn when applying polyurethane or preservatives.

My understanding is that to create SCORM packages that report into the Bb grade centre they need to be published as SCORM 1.2; this requires Flash meaning that packages don't work on mobile devices (edit: this was testing using Storyline 2 when we upgraded to Q2 2017 so maybe something has changed or it was specific to my set up - HTML5 might work ok for others).
Flash is due to be EOL in 2020 so what will happen after that? Will it not be possible to use SCORM packages anymore? Or is there a version of Bb that supports SCORM HTML5 packages or newer SCORM standards?

Hi! My name is Sara Bellum. Welcome to my magazine series that explores the brain's response to drugs. In this issue, we will investigate fascinating facts about prescription drugs.
Prescription drugs are medicines that are prescribed to a person by his or her doctor to treat diseases. Some prescription drugs affect the brain—especially those used to treat pain, or mental disorders such as anxiety or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Doctors decide how much of a drug to give a person based on that person's age, size, and medical history. By doing so, doctors oversee the safe and proper use of prescription drugs. Abuse is when someone takes a prescription drug without a doctor's prescription or in a way or amount that is different from what was prescribed. Abuse of prescription drugs can have serious and harmful health effects, including poisoning and even death.

Stacking Cups Movie Here is the movie I took of the incredible cup stackers at Toy Fair. Enjoy. Read More »
Category Archives: Toy Fair 2006
It's all a blur…
The last day of Toy Fair is always crazy. The exhibit halls close at 4pm, and it's a race to the finish. There are booths to revisit, decisions to be made, and we're all trying to commit every last product to memory. The toy industry hasn't had a megahit in years, and I don't think I saw anything that's going ... Read More »
Third Day's a Charm
Today was my most productive day yet. I covered a lot of ground and saw a lot of interesting things, including a couple of guys who can stack cups so fast, you can't see their hands move. The stacks just appear and disappear, with an occasional cup flying into the aisle. Is it fun? It's certainly a spectacle. I got ... Read More »
Day 2 – Lost in Legoland, Surrounded by Superheroes
Our second day at Toy Fair started with superheroes. We encountered several of them standing guard near the entrance of the exhibit hall, and — who could blame us? — we struck a pose. But we spent most of our day previewing the new products from Lego (and planning our entire year's inventory for 2006, to make sure we're in ... Read More »
Blizzard in the Big Apple
This day has been such a series of adventures, it's hard to think straight. When we woke up this morning, the snow was already piling up, drifting and blowing all around. We ignored the mayor's pleas to stay off the road, and we borrowed a four-wheel drive car to make the slippery, icy trek downtown to the Javits center. We ... Read More »

Can we just agree 2016 never happened?
Can we just say that 2015 went straight into 2017 and that none of this year ever, ever happened?
As it stands, I have one photo of these cookies because I have turned my entire house upside down and cannot find the cord to my camera to upload any others. I took one photo with my phone and decided "Hey, these cookies would look much better with a real camera taking the pictures."
And that was a true statement. Except you'll never see them.
So do you guys remember my past Great Food Blogger Cookie Swaps? (See 2014 and 2015.) The lovely coordinators of that cookie exchange decided not to do it this year.
Luckily, Allison of The PinterTest Kitchen and Sarah of The Fantastical Sharing of Recipes decided to put together the Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange 2016 this year so the cookie love could keep rolling. Each blogger that took part in the exchange either donated to CLIMATES- Rescue and The Bunny Hutch Boutique, an animal rescue in Virginia that takes in and feeds animals that traditional shelters don't take in (snakes, turtles, rabbits, ferrets, lizards, etc.) or to No Kid Hungry, an organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger.
It was a very similar setup to the GFBCS in that each blogger received the names of 2 other loggers and sent a dozen cookies to each one. I super lucked out this year, and since I don't have awesome pictures of the cookies I made, I'll show you the awesome cookies other food bloggers sent me.
Sara of Cook with 5 Kids sent me Graham Chocolate Cookies. I shared these at work, and they were a huge hit!
Renee of If Spoons Could Talk sent me Double Chocolate Chip Caramel Stuffed Cookies. Maybe the best cookies I've ever eaten? I banned Dennis from eating these. These were all for me.
And the third blogger I was matched with was Tricia of Friends, Food, Family. Tricia was a Super Blogger this year and sent me four different types of cookies: Butterfinger Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate Cookies, a chocolate and cherry biscotti, and a cookie with cardamon that I can't remember what else was in it, but I had to negotiate with Dennis and trade some of the biscotti for some of the last one. (Dennis and I also battled it out over the Butterfinger cookies...and since I'm just such a nice person, I even let him have the last one.)
So on to my cookies.
My cookies came from Baking: From My Home to Yours by the inimitable Dorie Greenspan, who I love so very much. You might recognize her name from some blog posts from 2012 (holy crap...4 years ago??) when I cooked from her lovely French cookbook Around My French Table and made Roast Chicken and Hummus.
These cookies are delicious, even though you can't tell it from the picture. How could any cookie that includes Whoppers be bad? (Spoiler alert: they're not.)
Chocolate Malted Whopper Drops
Makes about 30 Cookies
1 3/4 cups flour
1 cup chocolate-flavored Ovaltine (or malted milk powder)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 stick plus 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup whole milk
2 cups Whoppers candy
6 z. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift together flour, Ovaltine, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat together butter and sugar for about 3 minutes until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute between each addition. Add vanilla and mix in.
Add half of the Ovaltine mixture into the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Add milk.
Add remaining dry ingredients until they're just combined.
Add Whoppers and chocolate until just combined
Drop dough by the tablespoon onto the cookie sheets leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake for 11-13 minutes. Cookies should be puffed up, but set and soft to the touch. Let the cookie rest for 2 minutes, the transfer to wire racks to cool.

Miss. Mikaela Deur
Educational Background:
First and foremost, I'm proud to say that I'm a Grand Haven Christian alumni! I graduated from GHC in 2009 then went on to Western Michigan Christian. After high school, I pursued my degree in Early Childhood Education at Calvin College, where I graduated in the Spring of 2017.
Teaching Experience:
Though I'm still a relatively "new" teacher, I have had many other opportunities which make me prepared to teach kindergarten. I've worked as a camp counselor at Camp Roger and interned during the 2016-2017 year in both an early childhood special education classroom and a first grade classroom.
Personal Biography:
I was born and raised in Grand Haven and after living in Grand Rapids for four years, I've made my way back to Grand Haven to teach. When I'm not teaching or prepping lessons, you might find me hanging out with my family, singing with the Grand Rapids Symphony Chorus, taking photos, thrifting, or sipping an iced coffee. (But if I'm being honest with myself, I'm most likely at school!)
Integration of Faith in the Classroom:
After interning in public schools, I am so glad to be teaching at a school where I can openly share my faith and wonder aloud at God's creativity. I love being able to point out ways that I see God revealing himself through his creation and challenging students in their walks with Christ. In our kindergarten classroom, faith isn't contained to just Bible lessons, it's woven throughout every aspect of the day.
Fun Fact:
I don't brush my hair!

The Best Times to Fast
Intermittent fasting is inherently flexible. Because you only need to fast one or two times a week, you can begin your fast at the time that is most convenient for you as long as you ultimately fast for 24 hours.
As a result, you can start your once or twice weekly fast at any time on any day of the week. That means intermittent fasting has no set schedules. You can easily adjust your fasting days for what's best for you. Say, for instance, you're planning on fasting Wednesday evening through Thursday, but a social engagement — dinner with friends — comes up; you simply can start your fast the following day.
When people sleep, they naturally fast. As a result, fasting from dinner to dinner is easiest for most people, meaning if you finish eating at 7 p.m., you can abstain from eating or drinking anything with calories until 7 p.m. the following evening.
If you've ever tried going to sleep while hungry, you know doing so can be a challenging feat. But by following a dinner-to-dinner fasting period, you can fall asleep without having to contend with an empty stomach.
Another popular time to begin and end your fast is a lunch-to-lunch fast. If you choose this fasting schedule, you eat lunch, ending at around 1 p.m. and don't eat again until 1 p.m. on the following day.
Trying a breakfast-to-breakfast fast should be done with caution. This fasting schedule requires you to fall asleep at night on an entirely empty stomach. Although this schedule may work for some people, more than likely you'll be so hungry by the end of the first day that you may break the fast early and with suboptimal food choices, such as with sugary treats or with a desperate, hunger-driven run to the nearest fast-food restaurant.
Intermittent fasting is also flexible over time. When you first begin intermittent fasting, you may find that the lunch-to-lunch fasting period works best for you, but as time goes on and your work and/or personal schedules change, you may find that you need to switch your fast times, which is completely okay. We want you to fast successfully. Flexibility in when you fast is key to making that happen.
Intermittent fasting should work for you, not against you, so experiment with different fasting schedules. You may find a dinner-to-dinner fast too challenging given your work schedule, or that at first, the lunch-to-lunch fast leaves you too hungry at night to fall asleep. Play around with the different schedules and see what works best for you.

Or, take into consideration a distinct safety and security tool presently under advancement that will certainly profit high-voltage line employees. This system leverages the Apple iPhone as a caution as well as an interaction site for a brand-new license pending multi-function Ground Prospective Surge (GPR) display. The Apple iPhone gets details develop the sensing units in the tools, which signals high-voltage transmission line employees of adverse problems that could need them to change activities or secure themselves.
iOS Touch Screens
A floodgate of creativity opened up when the capability to swipe a finger to make user-interactive digital items execute formerly unidentified features ended up being feasible by certifying the globe's best-known mobile channel. Digital items qualified of communicating with iPad/iPhone/iPod are currently warm market products as well as the need for Three20 equipment tools will certainly most definitely enhance in a comparable style to the software program applications that precede them.
Beginning with the launch of a brand-new operating system in June 2009, the MFi (made for "I" course of items iPod, iTouch, Apple iPhone, iTV) permit. This program has not yet resulted in numerous articles brief of standard, easy peripherals such as wall chargers, earpieces and so on that make use of the total capacities of this system.
Just what is all of the exhilaration concerning Apple's iClass of items all concerning anyhow? This combined with uniformity and also the convenience of usage connected with Apple's systems regulate leading buck.
There are numerous hundreds of software application applications that have been created and also offered because 2007 when Apple initially made this an opportunity by licensing software program designers with its iOS-licensing program.
Allow's check out just what this suggests for firms that offer digital items. Every little thing from customer items to the laboratory or clinical guitars are or will certainly be impacted soon. Whether these businesses think Apple's channel is a minus or an and also, it is pressure to be considered and also all companies that digital market anythings should intend as well as acknowledge.
The Effect of Innovation
Just recently, huge in the information, Apple's Apple iPhone sales blew past the undeniable leader Nokia with $11.9 billion (with a "B") in Apple iPhone sales as contrasted to $9.4 billion in Nokia sales. As of 4/26/2011, the typical sale each gadget functions out to concerning $660 for the Apple items to the usual marketing cost of $94.77 each device for the Nokia.
Apple discusses clinical tools as a reliable customer of these brand-new capacities, yet several and also differed are various other usages that have escalated in the marketplace such as online game controllers, accuracy instrumentation and also the factor of sale systems. Three20 is exactly what offers the interaction in between outside MFi gadgets and also an application on the Apple tool's iOS.
While the structure could seem basic, the use of communication in between an iOS application as well as an exterior gadget could be intricate. Authentic know-how is utterly essential in the growth of these allowed items!
The advancement of every little thing from advanced tools to common remedies for lawn, car and also residence will certainly take advantage of Apple iPhone, iTouch as well as iPad. As these equipment programs get encounter items that use this innovation will indeed rupture on to the market merely as the software program applications have in contemporary years.
We could boost the high quality of amputee's lives leveraging with Apple's iOS channel with an individual interface that connects from the person's Apple iPhone to an user-friendly and also "smart" fabricated arm or leg. For the medical professionals, relevant information is picked up from a selection of sensing units on the synthetic arm or leg and also given center so they could assess numerous variables and also make any necessary changes, decreasing client pain and also clinical prices in parallel.
- At this factor, it is clear that the adaptability of this system is a lot even more compared to the newest charming applications.
- Digital Item programmes that have actually been certified, the couple of that are MFi accredited, are using just what amounts to a sophisticated and also secure equipment channel, Apple's authorization gadgets, technological paperwork, examination laboratories, and also technical assistance to produce some of the most ingenious and also completely turbulent items there are.
- Having an item Apple-certified is a substantial plus in ever before even more open markets.
- Individuals value the uniformity and also understand as well as the convenience of usage connected with the Apple user interface.
- The credentials could provide an immediate "Wow" aspect for an item … as well as customers link it with high quality.
Initially created for the Apple phone, (Apple's mobile phones running system) iOS was broadened to include their various other "i" gadgets, iPod Touch, iPad, Apple television.
MFi item designers connect any number of kinds of gadgets to this iOS style resulting in a smooth combination of exterior equipment devices attaching using the dock adapter or wirelessly over Bluetooth utilizing an iOS structure called External Add-on to connect with the "i" gadgets. This suggests that outside, sensing units, controls, as well as in reality virtually any various another kind of feature you can imagine.

Music News & Reviews
Rescheduled: UK oboe players to gather to celebrate, support beloved teacher
University of Kentucky senior Lindsay Baranowski will frequently get text messages and start cracking up.
"People will say, 'Who's that from?' and I'll say, 'Oh, it's just my oboe teacher, no big deal,'" Baranowski says. "They'll say, 'Really, you text your oboe teacher,' and I say, 'Yeah, she's like my mom at college, and she really is. She's taken care of all of us."
That's why Baranowski and her fellow students in UK oboe professor Nancy Clauter's studio are putting on a big oboe-centric recital Saturday evening at Central Christian Church to say goodbye. (The event was originally scheduled for Friday night, but was cancelled when the University of Kentucky closed due to severe storms moving through Central Kentucky.)
Clauter is retiring from UK as well as her post as principal oboist with the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra to focus on her battle with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow.
"There's no cure," Clauter says. "You can put it in remission, sometimes long-term remission."
She first started battling the cancer in 2008, when she was out for the fall semester to undergo a stem-cell transplant that led to a three-year remission. But the cancer returned late last year. In December, she told the seven students in her studio and her colleagues that she would be retiring in the spring semester.
"When a doctor says to you, 'You know, if I were you, I'd just quit work and go enjoy life,' I thought, wow, I never thought about that as an option," Clauter, 56, says. "I sort of needed the permission."
She will begin a second round of stem-cell replacements Saturday and in the summer move back to her home in Arizona to be near her brother and enjoy life, including playing oboe, when she wants.
"Playing oboe just for fun — imagine that," says the professor who is known for making the notoriously difficult woodwind instrument a good time for her students. Barankowski says she does not have to come to studio classes to fill requirements, but comes anyway because she enjoys them.
"Everyone's jealous of our studio because it is so much fun," says Raechel White, 20, a sophomore from Richmond.
She would try to create activities to reinforce the fundamentals of oboe based on TV shows like C.S.I. and games like telephone, where the students try to mimic lines the others are playing.
"It's a really nice atmosphere and really comforting," sophomore Amanda Slone says. "I always look forward to coming to studio."
Clauter says, "We need to support each other, because the instrument and the reeds are hard enough."
Graduate student Phillip Smith says Clauter is the only oboist he knows who looks forward to making reeds, which oboists blow across to produce sound.
"It fascinates me that you take this little blade of grass, you've got this tree limb, and you can put it together and it makes music."
In putting Friday's event together, the students say they are trying to echo Clauter's joyous spirit.
"While we're sad that she's leaving, the concert is a celebration of everything she has done for us," says graduate student Phillip Smith, 22, of Irvine. "So the recital is going to be lighthearted, and a whole lot of fun."
The students are excited to have a chance to show off oboe music, which is often relegated to a few solo lines in orchestra and chamber music. Pieces include Mozart's Serenade No. 10, the Gran Partita, a pieces for 13 wind instruments that will involve Clauter's fellow UK wind faculty; classical Baroque pieces; and "things that should never be performed on an oboe," Smith says, including an arrangement of James Brown's I Feel Good for two oboes, English horn and bassoon.
For the remainder of the semester, doctoral student Heather Baxter will run the oboe studio as the search begins for Clauter's successor.
"I think when I'm gone, it will remind them, I'm gone," Clauter says.
But she will never be too far away. Her students note they will still be able to text their former teacher, even if she's fishing in Arizona.

Things That are Important for Your Winter Camping

As we all know camping is a summer activity where kids are usually involve.
If you could remember you summer camping experience, it probably compromise with lying underneath the evening skies, having deep thoughts of how nature works uniquely, and spending some of your time walking across the forest without having the thought of getting harmed. However, does that mean you can only enjoy camping during summer? As you can see winter camping can be as good with summer camping, or perhaps much better. Camping during winter will let you also get to see the beautiful snowy landscapes, gorgeous winter scenery, and you can also see how magical the night especially when the skies are clear.

As I crossed the country last fall, I stopped in Madison, WI and had a fantastic jam with amazing bassist Tony Menzer at the Badger Bowl. He told me about a wonderful songwriting festival held every June in Sturgeon Bay, WI and invited me to apply. I did and was accepted! And now I am on my way. I can't wait to collaborate with other songwriters the first week of June and then the festival will open to the public and will showcase so many performers and songwriters. I am honored to be a part of it all

Dearest ______,
Architecture has always been both advocate and adversary to nature. As an ally, it directly responds to elements present in the natural environment it inhabits- works around them, mirrors them.
On another hand, it also aims to question these very same elements by introducing aesthetics and technologies that ultimately make built environments truly habitable for their purpose.
True enough, we saw houses in New Zealand's Lake Tekapo district that each bore similar elements responding to the beautiful terrain all around:
1) Big windows were strategically placed on the houses to maximize the views outside.
Being that Lake Tekapo is mostly a haven of vacation homes and lodges, external spaces like balconies and porches are very important for people who go on holidays to literally "get out" of their typically cooped- up office environments.
2) Steeped roofs were the norm, presumably for the long snowy days of winter each year.
Flat roofs, while excitingly modern- looking, only do well in places that have dry seasons all year round. In slightly wetter areas, nifty drainage systems are designed with them to address issues of flooding.
For places with regular downfall of snow however, it's still most convenient to construct a slanted house topper that allows the snow to fall directly to the ground.
3) A landscape of chimneys dotted the gable roofs, as if straight out of an old Victorian painting.
With advancements in building technology and whatnot, there are many ways to heat up a house these days.
To alleviate New Zealand's "wilding pines taking over the forests!" problem though, it isn't such a bad thing to chop down pine wood and throw them into a spitting fireplace in Tekapo.
Design- wise, the houses that we saw seemed a few years delayed in the global Modern Contemporary movement. Materials and construction details were a far cry from what we have in the thriving Asian construction field.
However (and in a much more meaningful light), in sustainability and a true sense of environmental stewardship, New Zealand is leaps ahead of most places we've been to. And these days, decent development like that is more important than the "look" per se.
