Here's the journey to the impossible dream....On this father's day, I thought about my passed away dad once again. Can I pass along his values from everyday acts, precipitating thoughts of actions into everyday hustle and bustle, sublimating selfly thoughts into acts of love and growth of people all around you? Being retired he had much time for books, he studied them from morn to night and often through the morn to night again. All he read oppressed him, filled him with indignation at man's murderous ways toward man. He pondered the problem, how to make better a world, where evil brings profit and virtue none at all, he laid down the melonchony burden of sanity, and conceived a strangest project ever imagined, to become a knight-errant, and sally forth to roam the world and search for adventures, to right all wrongs, to mount a crusade, to raise up the weak and those in need, no longer will he be plain Alonso Quijana, but an dauntless knight known as - Don Quixote de La Mancha!!!!!

update of this post .... tomorrow, thanks colm wilkinson.....
For all travelers who have a diary, you need a bookmark. Well, you can buy a bookmark but what if you can create your own with a material accessible because of your traveling spirit? Look no further than your very own luggage, the material is just your airline luggage tag, which was given to you free during your last check-in. The history and evolution of luggage tag is worth to read here, but before RFID tags becomes everyday object, you better start to collect these silicon/plastic/adhesive/barcode based tags right now, just like those of you who collect vintage luggage tags before.
These magic tags are resistant to moisture, heat/cold, sunlight, ice, oil and all the wear and tear which can occur during your luggage's journey from home to destination. Dozens of patents were filed around the 90s, not only did the design make sure of the tags' durability but the integration of barcode into tracking systems made accurate delivery a defacto.
So here's how you make a bookmark out of the tags. You will make a thin piece of bookmark to be inserted onto your notebook's spine with a small tab extended out of your closed notebook. First, pick a portion of your tag with the graphics you want, in my case it is where black stripes and arrows are located. Fold it and glue the two halves to make your tab. Next, also finding the portion of the graphics you like then fold and glue to make a longer piece of horizontal stripe, finally gluing it onto the first tab you've just made. That's it!
This is how it looks, preferably you would want to make both sides of the bookmark look good because you will see both sides when you use it. Tip: make sure the thinnest part of your bookmark is in the middle where there is only one layer of material, because this part is going to sit at the spine of your notebook between your notebooks' pages.
Inserting is easy. For Chronodex users who don't need to bind their pages (because it is held with just an elastic band), simply insert the bookmark through the spine so half of the bookmark is sitting on the other side of the spine (gee I'm so clumsy with words). For Traveler's Notebook refill users, the refills are stapled on the spine, so you can tailor your bookmark about 3cm in height, which allows you to insert the bookmark close to the top of the refills, works like a charm. The pressure of a closed notebook on the spine will keep your bookmark safe. For people using refills that have the entire spine stitched or glued, this bookmark is not for you.
I hope you've enjoyed a little bit of history and a lot of fun gluing these tags!
It's been a slowest blogging year, things happen to you, you thought you were not whining but you were. You thought you would deal with them one by one with methods but they just keep coming at you. With all the good intentions somehow attracting me negative energies, I started to realize that good intentions without positive emotions didn't do any good. Everything went downhill coz I chose to fight giants, to look down on poor quality, to prove myself by winning battles, etc all these did me no good, in terms of health and effects on people and family around me.
(Pencil, pencil and pencils, nice colors and wooden barrels)
So at one point, I was near break down coz everything went nowhere, with increasing number of triggers lying around to set me off on anger and despair, I finally screamed in front of the mirror. That was scary, that was the point I realized I had to re-wire my brain.
(that scream happened on 16th March 2014)
While I'm doing that, please stop by my Instagram and twitter feed.
(Traveler's Notebook experience corner, inside 5F Raffles City, "Life by city'super" store)
Short update you don't need to read: just finished setting up new "Life by city'super" store in Raffles City, Shanghai 2 weeks ago, loving the new furnitures and zoning I planted, thankful to friends and colleagues helping out a lot. 1st May we will launch a huge store in iAPM Shanghai, so next two weeks I'm flying there again. June is Travel Photo Cafe 2014. Early July is stationery show in Tokyo I hope I can visit, but in that month a new store will be launched in Hong Kong which we've spent a lot of time perfecting, plus a relocation of another store. August is Back To School, huge project. September is launching of a range of limited edition Traveler's Notebook which is stuck at certain stage right now. Close to the end of the year is another new store I'm hoping I could spend a lot more time on planning, not to mention crazy Xmas season for gifts, cards, diaries, etc…. Wife's last chemo shot will be two weeks from now, then there will be a series of radiotherapy. Poor boy got his elbow broken 2 days ago and his arm is in plaster cast, oh gee he signed up for swimming competition. Tons of small projects to seed, track and execute. I love doing all these, if they were not all cramped together, I thought last year was hell hahahah. And my Chronodex stamp, sorry that the maker of a special part went bankrupt and I couldn't find replacement yet, got to do it got to do it. And yes the 2nd half of the 2014 weekly Chronodex should be on its way.
Did I manage to have some fun with my Traveler's Notebook? Yes, I made the world's first nano Traveler's Notebook :)
Beneath my lightweight passport sized notebook and above my wooden tray is the Lumio, an amazing invention by Max Gunawan. I first saw Lumio from Kickstarter and immediately became a backer coz it is totally original with a clean design, most importantly it is non intrusive to my workspace and easily portable to anywhere I want, transforming my environment into pleasing atmosphere anytime I want.
I love the laser-cut walnut cover which quietly matches almost every object I hold dear of. My Lumio arrived in early October, to this date I still have to resist the urge to carry it with me all the time. It is hard to remain un-noticed if you pull it out in public, I had even brought with me to Seoul to show off in front of a dozen of die hard Midori Traveler's Notebook fans.
You get 8 hours of continuous portable bright warm light from one charge through micro USB, extremely efficient. Opening it like a book means it has adjustable light angles from narrow to 360 degrees, allowing you shine direct light only to where you want to, perfect for bedroom reading.
My kid loves it, we even went out at night to check out some of the trees rooting over rocks nearby.
Eager to put Lumio into our shop so that more people can check it out in person, I've been in touch with Max for the past 10 months, patiently waiting for him to fulfill the Kickstarter backers' orders. Finally we met 2 weeks ago when he stopped by Hong Kong.
Max got Lumio into a great start, if you read his updates on Kickstarter or have met him in person, you know he is a solid and hands-on guy doing everything from design to managing production, I sincerely hope he gets good helping hands for bringing Lumio to more people, so that he can focus on the next iteration or new designs. I personally would like to have a Lumio Pocket for ultra portability :)
And talking about light. I found out not long ago GummyGoods nightlight, squeeze the bear belly and Voila! 3 high-powered LED light up the 100-times-bigger-than-the-real-thing Gummy Bear, it has a one hour timer switch so that you don't waste too much battery power, it is perfect for kid's room but I'm sure most of us Gummy Bear loving adults won't be able to resist the temptation. We were lucky to get some colors (red, yellow, green) to put into our stores, but thank God new colors also arrived a week ago, they are gonna be sold out in the next 2 days, I just bought a blue one myself, you know how it excited my kid tonight? Watch the video, it was spontaneous.
Alright it was my turn after he went to sleep, so I hooked up my bear with my Laserpod (wow, it's been a long while you haven't heard anything from Laserpod right?):
So you see, I am kind of obsessed with things which light up differently. Do you light up things differently?
It is time for the release of the next 6 months' worth of Chronodex!
In 2011, my family received thousands of prayers for my father's condition, it was a lot of positive and calming energy and I still appreciate many of your kind messages to this date.
Chronodex as a creative tool was shared to make a difference in traditional and limiting grid-style scheduling. It was also shared to elevate positive energy for myself and my family. This time my wife needs your prayers, tomorrow she will go through an operation as the first battle against breast cancer, there will be a series of followup treatments I hope it will pass like a breeze. I hope to maintain a clear mind and yet being able to take it easy for why things happened the way they are, in terms of work, love, dreams and health (Did I just unconsciously telling myself that I've been putting these in the wrong priority?).
Here's the Jan - Jun 2014 no holiday version download!
The Chronodex Facebook Page is going to be the center of version releases, news update, hacks sharing, so please do stop by once in a while to see what others are doing with their Chronie.
The Chronodex Flickr Group is a place where nicer photos were taken by users. The Instagram hash tag #chronodex allows you to find yet another bunch of interesting users and the crazy things they've done.
On the other hand, do Google up Chronodex for the fun of it. There have been a lot of mods in various paper sizes (A5, filofax, etc) or altered cores, as long as they are shared free, I'm ok. Some of the Chronodex super fans reported that there are people on Etsy selling Chronodex, that I'm not ok. So far, I've issued no license to anybody for commercial usage, but I will consider if it is a quality implementation.
Although creating your own ways to notate from a Chronodex core is encouraged, be it colors, pinpointing on tick marks or radiate from zones etc, I do have some tips I want to share in 2014. That's why I'm working on an upgrade of the core (now in its version 8, 9 and 10) which will allow you to draw with guides and simply look more elegant and smart. In the mean time, Maryanne Moll (Thanks Maryanne) did some nice videos on youTube sharing her way of using Chronodex, take a look:
For the fun of it, here's some beautiful Chronodex to look at:
(@momojin made this rubber stamp for herself by hand!)
(@aircrush made each of her days colorful)
(I've visited Seoul for business at the end of October, we had a great gathering of the Traveler's Notebook Korea User Group, they are absolutely amazing TN and Chronodex users, which I'm gonna talk about it in later posts. Jessica and several of her friends printed the Chronodex core on the passport size and kind enough to find a page not too personal to share here)
Finally, some of you already knew I have a Chronodex stamp under progress. It was too bad one of the parts maker went out of business so I had to find another quality maker to continue the project. I've tried many different ways and I found an elegant solution, I am determined to release a self-inking Chronodex stamp in 2014, you will love it!
What a terrible day, a young talented kid was fired because he was too proud of himself to follow rules and never suck up, so it was "disrespect to everybody" after-all, such a waste to both parties. It takes courage to admire people who don't "respect", it takes patience to inspire them to do great works, more importantly, it takes great minds to see beyond the surface and huge hearts to cultivate growth. I hope he will grow up a little or make huge impacts to this world. I 'was' such a kid after-all, did I grow up or did I change anything?
Yet people wearing fake smile sucking up following rules joining cliques get to stay in reality. Well wait for one day when you behind kissers find that you are not being respected either. Distinguish cowardice from bravery on everyday basis: Prot from K-Pax said "reality is what you make of it", Ellie Arroway from Contact responded to David Drumlin's "I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world." with "Funny, I've always believed that the world is what we make of it".
Icons of my youth: sketches and poems, publications and photography, expeditions and explorations, BBQ and songs, woogle and leadership, Scout promises and laziness, British flag and colonial Hong Kong, laughs and friendship. Recent gathering with old scouts got me into weaving my own leather woogle again. Bits and pieces of great youth memories came back to life.
Heading back home late tonight feeling grumpy, the first shuffled song came up was "The Kid Inside" sung by Barry Manilow, bingo! "To a time and place, I could not forget if I tried, there he goes again, hummin his song…."
Well tomorrow, I'll exercise the best of my little brain to tackle one trouble at a time. Stay hungry.
Scription updates are faster on Flickr and Instagram, only because I could only do small updates, so please stay tuned with me.
The Little Printer is so adorable I instantly fell in love with her when I first saw prototypes online. Folks at Bergcloud has given life to a digital device in a very different way. I used to have ambient devices and Nabaztag at home but they were things just sitting around, walk away from home and you are "disconnected" with them. The Little Printer however allows you to subscribe to publications which print in specified times, you can take the tiny publications such as Daily Puzzles, Pixel Presidents, etc and enjoy tibits in transits or on the move, quite interestingly a cool "analogue" aspect of a connected device.
I finally asked my friend in UK to help got me one (they don't ship worldwide yet) and since then anticipating publications to arrive day after day. It also got my kid's interest a lot. Once in a while I would print a message while I am on the way back home, knowing that my kid would jump to look at it :) "Need dinner at 8:15pm, so hungry" something like that. It is great fun. Oh I can even take a photo while I'm in business trip and send it back to the printer and my family gets to know what's going on, loving this feature too.
As a big fan of The Little Printer, I've also made Chronodex available on the platform as a subscription, you can use it as a simple shopping list, a weekend tiny to-do or even use it daily for simple tasks. I find that separating work tasks from personal or home related tasks pleasurable, and I hope many of you Little Printer owners find the publication interesting too.
Thanks for the kind words from folks at Bergcloud, loving it and expecting more interesting publications.
Chronodex friends here you go! The July to December 2013 version is released, feel free to download and plan ahead your visual scheduling for the rest of the year.
Here are some of the places you can interact with other Chronodex users:
Yes Chronodex is kind of weird, it looks a bit too complicated, it is not like any other traditional scheduling tools, but it is inspirational and free style. I made it so as to break the rules of scheduling, most diaries/schedule books have rigid grids and timeline which limit the available space for you to write notes related to your schedule, you can use any space on the paper to link your time specific entries thus free from the traditional constraints.
Look at our beautiful cross harbour tunnel, it is a 'grid', it is 'rigid' but it works in mass transportation because it provides a system and create order. It is dull too, especially in times of traffic jam and rainy days. What you have to dissect is that there is a difference between mass order and personal creativity. Chronodex is for your personal creativity in what seems to be a rigid time system, it is for you to exploit/explore the space nobody ever made constraints of.
I've also made Chronodex a free download to share in 2011 when my father was too old and too sick lying on bed struggling, questioning himself feeling useless. We had no way to help, prayers from all of you mysteriously helped somehow IMHO, but the thing is, I wanted to prove that everything is connected, he was not and never useless, if people appreciate Chronodex, it was because of him I existed and being educated by him into a person with inquisitive mind. He should be proud of himself, even though there was no way I could convey this to him during his deterioriation. Today on the Star Ferry lower deck, I saw a grandfather holding his grandson's T-shirt looking over the harbour an European tall ship cruising by, the light tug, the togetherness and a sense of exploration made me sob inside, recalling my own exploration with Dad and his brief time with my own kid.
Tonight, Mom told me her encounter with Dad on his 140th day of passing which happens to be my little brother's birthday. A cicada was standing weakly on the floor where Dad used to stay often, she picked it up with both hands and prayed the Great Compassion Mantra (大悲咒), bringing it to the window seam and left it there. Minutes later, it flew away energetically full of life. The scene reminds us of the Chao Shao-an (趙少昂)'s painting which my Dad loved so much and had been on our living room wall for the longest time, AND it is Lychee season now. Can you see all the connections and emotions?
The stuffs we hold dear of, always leave impressions for people close and around us, these things are proves of our existence painted over with emotions and mysterious connections.
So this coming week, like the last, I will be out of my home town heading Shanghai for a week of intensive preparation of a new store launch. Love the travel, hate the separation, enjoying everything in between.
Meanwhile, Traveler's Notebook fans in Hong Kong had a great time in the Star Ferry ride, after-party and small meet-ups. I hope to do it more often, feel free to drop by our Facebook group. Now, follow me for a 15 seconds tranquil journey across the lovely Victoria Harbour.

The fallen tycoon, his penniless ex-wife, and the latest twist in the multi-million pound divorce battle from hell
Scot Young claimed he lost his £400m telecoms empire just months before separating from his wife. So how is he funding the UK's most high-profile divorce hearing?
Tom Harper

Tuesday 20 August 2013
It is among the most acrimonious divorce battles that Britain has ever seen. In one corner is Scot Young, a 51-year-old former tycoon who made and then lost – he says – a sprawling property and telecoms empire worth £400m. In the other is his estranged wife, Michelle, whom Mr Young left in 2006. The 48-year-old former fashion tycoon, who now lives on housing benefit and shares a bed with her youngest daughter, has been pursuing her ex-husband through the courts claiming that he squirrelled away his vast wealth offshore with the help of several high-profile business associates.
Earlier this year, the tycoon was jailed for a "flagrant and deliberate" contempt of court after repeatedly failing to disclose what happened to his assets. Despite repeated court orders, Mr Young still owes his wife almost £1m in maintenance, as well as £1.28m in unpaid tax. He is now free again, and within days of his release was seen partying in Soho with his girlfriend, Noelle Reno – the ex-fiancée of banking heir Matthew Mellon.
Now an investigation by The Independent has revealed more peculiarities about the case:
* The existence of a bank account held by HBOS following the voluntary liquidation of a company linked to the businessman.
* That £1.1m generated from the liquidation of the firm appears to be unaccounted for.
* That £300,000 that emerged during the wind-up of the company was held by the bank for five years.
* And that £100,000 was sent to a law firm that had represented Mr Young – 18 months after he was officially declared bankrupt (although the bank says the transfer was not related to him).
The jewel in the crown of Mr Young's business empire and "principal focus", according to High Court documents, was Dione, a chip-and-pin technology company based near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire.
The company was based half an hour's drive from the businessman's Oxfordshire country estate, Wootton Place, which boasts gardens designed by the iconic 18th-century landscape architect Capability Brown.
Both the headquarters of Dione and Wootton Place, where Mr Young once lived with Michelle and their two young daughters, were purchased with mortgages provided by the Bank of Scotland (now part of HBOS).
The tycoon and the bank, which received a £20bn taxpayer-funded bailout at the height of the financial crisis, have a close working relationship stretching back many years.
The marriage imploded in spectacular fashion. Mr Young left his wife just after he claimed to have lost all his money in a disastrous Russian property deal called "Project Moscow". HBOS was officially listed as one of his major creditors.
In a sworn affidavit that was supposed to outline his true financial position, Mr Young claims the bank provided him with mortgages totalling £29m between 2001 and 2005 to buy six luxury properties in London, Oxfordshire and Miami.
But in the High Court statement, he claims the properties – including Wootton Place – were later repossessed by the bank and sold for a profit of more than £17m. It is unclear how £3m he owed to the bank was not fully repaid and this has never been explained by Mr Young.
The mysterious and complex nature of his finances is well-illustrated by an examination of Dione, Mr Young's former chip-and-pin company. The High Wycombe headquarters of the firm – known as "Dione House" – were purchased by Condor Corporate Services Ltd, a company beneficially owned by Mr Young, in February 2003 – one week before he bought Wootton Place.
Gwilym Davies, a business associate who has worked with Mr Young on many ventures, was a director of the company when it went into voluntary liquidation in late 2006 – six months after the tycoon claims to have lost everything.
Following the sale of Dione House for £6.25m in December 2006, more than £300,000 generated from the winding-up of Condor was transferred into an "internal" HBOS account "under the control of the bank".
But the money does not appear to have been listed during the liquidation.
Various administrative fees are included in the chairman's statement, lodged at Companies House, including an "early redemption fee" on the HBOS mortgage of £80,000. However, an analysis of the company's statements reveals a surplus amount of £1.1m apparently unaccounted for.
Leaked bank statements seen by The Independent reveal HBOS opened the "internal" bank account labelled "re Condor Corporate Services" in December 2006. Senior HBOS sources confirmed the money related to the "sale of a property".
A total of £324,550 marked "redemption fees" and "XS redemption funds" on the bank statements was placed into the account, where it lay untouched for five years.
When asked about the disparity between the £80,000 redemption charge officially declared to Companies House and the £325,000 redemption fees logged in the internal HBOS bank account, a spokesman said: "We do not intend to comment on confidential matters."
The money lay dormant until September 2011 – 18 months after Mr Young was declared bankrupt – when a £100,000 payment was made to a law firm that has represented the businessman during his divorce proceedings.
Senior bank sources stressed the payment was made on behalf of a former director of Condor who was not Mr Young, and who had remained in dispute with the liquidator for five years.
The tycoon told the High Court in June that the bank account related to a disagreement between the liquidator and Mr Davies, a former director of Condor, but said he could not elaborate as the eventual resolution was covered by a confidentiality agreement.
HBOS said it could not comment due to client confidentiality – but was unable to explain how there was a "client" when the account was "internal" and "under the bank's control".
The remaining £225,000 was later paid back to HBOS in "exit fees".
When asked who controlled the bank account and who authorised the payment to Mr Young's law firm 18 months after he went bankrupt, a Bank of Scotland spokesperson said: "This was an internal account opened by the Bank, to which the customer had no access. Due to issues of customer confidentiality, we are unable to provide you with any further information on this account."
Mr Young's disputed financial demise has been probed for more than two years by accountant David Ingram, a court-appointed trustee-in-bankruptcy with wide-ranging powers to recover assets and monies for the tycoon's creditors.
The senior partner at Grant Thornton told The Independent his team had investigated the finances of Condor Corporate Services Ltd but had found nothing improper.
Mr Ingram said: "I've had discussions with those people and what I have undertaken has left me with the impression that there is no smoking gun.
"I'm aware that there are some confidentialities and I am not going to upset that confidentiality agreement."
The accountant, who works regularly with HMRC and the Serious Fraud Office, was asked about the difficulties he had faced during attempts to track down Mr Young's assets, and suggested he was hampered in his task as the tycoon had been ill.
Mr Young became poorly in 2009 – just as the judge in his divorce proceedings was about to jail him for failing to explain the mysterious disappearance of his extraordinary wealth.
He was initially handed a suspended six-month sentence in June 2009 and given three months to come clean. According to High Court papers, Mr Young became ill a few days before the answers were due and recovered just after the deadline to submit his court-mandated answers to the judge.
During that time, lawyers for Mrs Young claim to have uncovered emails that show her ex-husband "clearly continuing in business" and conducting offshore deals, particularly in the Isle of Man.
Mrs Young told the High Court that her husband had faked illness in order to "manipulate the court system".
Grant Thornton is also involved in a difficult case regarding the complex estate of the late Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, a business associate of Mr Young.
The international accountancy firm told the High Court last month that Vladimir Putin's arch-nemesis did not leave behind enough assets to pay off debts that include a huge potential liability of £100m to HM Revenue and Customs.
But lawyers for Mr Berezovsky's family attacked the conclusion that his estate is insolvent and said that Grant Thornton had failed to identify numerous assets. "The work simply hasn't been done," Henry Legge, QC, a barrister for Mr Berezovsky's former partner, Helena Gorbunova, told the court.
However Stephen Atherton QC, who represented Grant Thornton, insisted that the estate was insolvent.
Mr Young has so far represented himself as the bitter divorce proceedings have inched their way through the British legal system. The final, four-week hearing is due in October and is set to feature an array of high-profile witnesses, including Mr Young's friends Sir Philip Green, Richard Caring, Harold Tillman and Sir Tom Hunter.
Ahead of the explosive showdown, it can also be disclosed that Mr Young has managed to engage the services of Raymond Tooth, one of Britain's most expensive divorce lawyers who has represented Sadie Frost in her battle with Jude Law, and Irina Abramovich, the ex-wife of the Chelsea owner.
When asked how he was able to represent a bankrupt, a spokesperson for Mr Tooth replied: "We do not discuss any matters regarding the affairs of clients with investigating reporters. Furthermore, you should not assume that we act for Mr Young. You must be aware of the duty of confidentiality."
Mr Young did not respond to requests for a comment.
Contempt of court: The judge's ruling
In January this year, Scot Young was sentenced to six months in prison for "flagrant and deliberate" contempt of court after repeatedly failing to disclose the whereabouts of his missing fortune.
Jailing the former tycoon at the High Court in London, Mr Justice Moor told him: "You have brought this entirely upon yourself."
He described one explanation that Mr Young had given for not complying with court orders as "absurd" and said another response was "next to useless".
He added that the businessman would serve at least three months in jail, but could be freed at any time if he revealed the whereabouts of the missing money and explained how his life was being funded by "friends".
In his judgment, he said: "It is absurd to say that these friends are prepared to support him financially to such a huge extent but that not one of them is prepared to produce any documentary evidence that the money came from them. There is no evidence he has tried to obtain such information from them."
Mr Young was released from Pentonville Prison in April.

Twisted Dance Collective is a group of dedicated teachers and advanced students who have a passion for dancing, teaching and performing. In January, the Collective partnered with Break 'N' Out Dance Studio in Greensboro to continue offering Belly Dance, BellyFit and Martial Art instruction. Our teachers provide high quality instruction that focuses on technique and expression (while having a FABULOUS time).Check out our classes link to look at our Google calendar.
We have spent the last few years working very hard to build a supportive, accepting and open dance community where dancers of all ages, genders, and sizes can express themselves without worry or judgment. We invite YOU to join us.
Project Shimmy is approaching, and we need your help!
Torque, the professional belly dance troupe at Twisted Dance Studios began Project Shimmy in 2008 as a way to help Triad Health Project, a Greensboro-based 501(c)-3 non-profit organization, meet the needs of individuals living with HIV / AIDS and their loved ones.
This year, the show is being hosted by Twisted Dance Collective, a group of dancers from the former Twisted Dance Studios that has decided to continue their dance relationships, even after the studio closing. 2014 will be the 6th Annual benefit show, and Twisted Dance Collective would like to raise even more funds for Triad Health Project. And to do that, we need help to pay for the expenses of producing Project Shimmy. If the Collective can raise $1150, any and all money raised by the benefit show will go directly to Triad Health Project.
Help us by contributing to our Indiegogo campaign--every little bit helps. If you donate $20 or more you qualify for perks that include t-shirts, tickets to the show, and reserved seating for the event (see fundraising page for details).

Vaccine Adjuvant for Inducing Th17 Focused Response
Adjuvant selection can be critical to a vaccine's effectiveness. Ideally, an adjuvant will target and activate specific immune pathways to increase the magnitude of a response to the vaccine. A limited range of adjuvants are presently available for human clinical use; these primarily affect T helper cells 1 and 2 (Th1 and Th2). Currently, no adjuvants are approved for human use which primarily affect IL-17-producing T helper cells (Th17) cells. Th17 focused adjuvants may prove critical for developing operative vaccines against pathogens where Th17 activity is essential for protection. This technology relates to novel adjuvants activating either caspase-associated recruitment domain protein 9 (CARD9) or caspase 1 pathways, or a combination of the two; and methods for using these adjuvants for stimulating an immune response. These adjuvants induce Th17 focused stimulation, which may prove essential to development of effective vaccines against a range of pathogens including bacteria and fungi.

Its tombstone is halfway carved already.
Last night, or I should say few hours ago, I did a very bad thing to that very dying drive — stabbing it in the back when it's already bleeding, which was thought almost died just about three month ago. This time, no matter what I did, it just hung there after a few noises from read access attempts, and fsck hung on with this message always:
/backup: recovering journal
I unplugged the USB cord while it was busy reading and writing data. It was late and I would just let it do its thing, was going to bed. As usual, I unplug USB mouse, but this time, I pulled the wrong cable. They were stacking together, disk drive on the top port and mouse on the bottom, and you know what happened next.
I frakkingly pulled the wrong one, as soon as the plug out of socket, without even checking the screen, I cried out 'oh shit, oopsie' inside. I knew what I just did.
Attempted remounting, re-powering, fscking, nothing could get the drive mount. It just hung there and no physical read access as I could see. I turned off computer and went to bed, mentally prepared myself for the round two after.
After a few hours of sleep, it didn't go as I hoped. Retried everything I had learned, nothing worked. I was almost giving up, since there actually was nothing important on the disk, but I tried another with Backup superblock:
# dumpe2fs /dev/sdb1 | grep superblock dumpe2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014) Primary superblock at 0, Group descriptors at 1-5 Backup superblock at 32768, Group descriptors at 32769-32773 Backup superblock at 98304, Group descriptors at 98305-98309 Backup superblock at 163840, Group descriptors at 163841-163845 [snip] # fsck -b 32768 /dev/sdb1 fsck from util-linux 2.24.1 e2fsck 1.42.10 (18-May-2014) Superblock needs_recovery flag is clear, but journal has data. Recovery flag not set in backup superblock, so running journal anyway. /backup: recovering journal [*** Still hangs, so I unplugged like the millionth time ***] Error reading block 30878 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read). Ignore error<y>?
During the course of cursing myself for being an utter idiot, I noticed that block number and all those in dmesg started with exact same starting numbers over and over. However, I honestly didn't know what to do.
I tried to see if I could somehow disable journal as the last attempt, but didn't get the useful information at first until I found this post about unreadable journal, I think that's exactly the same problem I was having.
It did work, I could mount it now:
# debugfs -w -R "feature ^needs_recovery" /dev/sdb1 debugfs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014) Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype sparse_super large_file # tune2fs -f -O '^has_journal' /dev/sdb1 tune2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014) # mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb # [Hooray, it mounted and read normally, or it seemed]
I was not entirely sure, but I though the partition has been converted (back) to ext2, which was fine with me. I didn't care about the recovery capability as long as the entire drive can still be accessible, losing data because of failures was fine with me.
But not like this hanging issue causing me almost re-formating the drive, while the data was still all there. I could lost everything for nothing even the everything was basically meaning nothing much to me and still is.
Nonetheless, it's not all good, I noticed this message while trying operate on a file:
[Aug27 10:29] EXT2-fs (sdb1): error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 5472723
Apparently, a good fsck was needed:
# fsck -pf /dev/sdb1 fsck from util-linux 2.24.1 /backup: Inode 5472718, i_blocks is 36104, should be 45208. FIXED. /backup: Inode 5472686 has illegal block(s). /backup: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. (i.e., without -a or -p options) # fsck -f /dev/sdb1 fsck from util-linux 2.24.1 e2fsck 1.42.10 (18-May-2014) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Inode 5472686 has illegal block(s). Clear<y>? yes Illegal block #12 (3134239992) in inode 5472686. CLEARED. Illegal block #13 (3223730326) in inode 5472686. CLEARED. [snip] Too many illegal blocks in inode 5472686. [snip for more fixes, a lot more] /backup: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** /backup: 1473/10059776 files (81.3% non-contiguous), 5744993/20103331 blocks
After fixing these while realizing how frakked the drive was just by accidental unplug, I decided to convert it back to ext3 by re-enabling the journal:
$ grep sdb /etc/mtab /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb ext2 rw 0 0 # tune2fs -j /dev/sdb1 tune2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014) Creating journal inode: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 30 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. $ mount /mnt/usb $ [mounted without any errors] $ grep sdb /etc/mtab /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb ext3 rw,noatime,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=livibetter 0 0
Back in the business before its last breath.

NH fugitive captured in Massachusetts
According to the U.S. Marshals, David Macrae, 38, most recently of Salem, was arrested by Methuen, Mass., police when a bank clerk called them after becoming suspicious when he tried to cash the check.
Methuen police learned only after arresting Macrae that he was featured as a "Fugitive of the Week" on Feb. 21.
Macrae was wanted on several arrest warrants including a parole violation stemming from earlier convictions for larceny and escape issued by Salem police. According to authorities, while Macrae was on the lam, he allegedly was involved in the theft of a vehicle and committed other thefts and frauds.
Macrae is charged with being a fugitive from justice on the outstanding New Hampshire warrant and was also arrested on several Massachusetts warrants. He is being held pending his initial court appearance and eventual transfer back to New Hampshire.

Bring home the blanket
After I delivered my daughter, Liberty, my husband took a hospital baby blanket home with him so that our dogs, Heidi and Otto, could sniff it. By the time we came home, they were familiar with her scent and very calm.

The first record reissued will be the band's 1988 album, New Jersey, which will be available as a remastered single disc reissue, a two-disc deluxe edition and a super-deluxe edition with a DVD, according to RollingStone.com.
PHOTOS: The 'Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson' ... And Richie Sambora
Included in the package are three bonus cuts originally released as B-sides, as well as 13 unreleased demos and a 32-page booklet with commentary and rare photographs from the New Jersey recording sessions and subsequent tour. The super-deluxe edition will feature a 60-page soft-cover book and the behind-the-scenes documentary, Access All Areas: A Rock & Roll Odyssey, which includes footage of the New Jersey World Tour, including the band's show at Lenin Stadium in Moscow. The footage as well as seven music videos, initially released in 1990 on VHS, will be available for the first time on DVD.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Hello everyone,
I've recently been contacted by someone who appears to be from a local band based out of Little Rock, AR. It seems legit as the Facebook link provided in the message was valid (https://www.facebook.com/MOTHWIND).
But my real concern is the the art requested to be used for their album cover. It's a piece I made for a school project for a sci-fi literature analysis class. Since it was the final weeks of the semester and I was cramped for time I almost completely copied the reference photo I was working from. I made many changes of course and worked by eye as much as I could but it's still pretty close.
Can be found here: http://barretxiii.deviantart.com/art...-WIP-417983846
Following the link to the reference photo in the description, you can see how similar the painting and photo are. The band said that they can't really pay for it, but they would of course give credit.
I'm concerned what kind of legal ramifications that could arise from this: An album cover featuring an unpaid illustration that is incredibly similar to a stock photo owned by someone else.
If you can get written permission for commercial use of your derivative work from the owner of the stock photo, you and the band will be fine.
Otherwise, don't do it: both you AND the band take a risk that isn't worth it.
Good luck
I think that your last sentence in your post really answers the question. Yes, there is liability especially if they become well known.
As the saying goes, nobody fights over a failure, but success...that's different.
As flattering as the offer is, refuse it.
Maybe you can salvage the opportunity and tell them you would be happy to design something new.
Bogdan Rentea
Thanks for the replies guys! I followed the advice and contacted the owner of the original stock photo and she has given permission to use the similar artwork, with credits applied.
If the band can't afford to pay you, then why are you letting them use it?
Regardless of whether or not it's derivative, you shouldn't just give works away for free. All it does is continue to devalue the art that we all do. If we keep selling ourselves short and people continue to get art for their commercial products without having to pay for anything, no one will ever want to pay for anything.
I'd tell the band to sketch something out themselves if they can't afford to pay for it.
"credit" means jack shit.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"Polar Vortex" was the phrase on everyone's blistered lips this week during a bitter cold spell that sent most of the U.S. into a deep freeze. As we learned firsthand while trudging to and from appointments on the city's icy sidewalks, even the most thermodynamic winter coat (plus a hat and gloves) wasn't enough for bone-chilling temperatures like these. Did designers divine this subzero weather? The new Pre-Fall collections offer plenty of fresh ideas for bundling up in style. Blanket dressing, in particular, has emerged as one of the season's most welcome trends. Labels including Acne Studios, Chloé, Vionnet, and Chanel featured soft wraps made for swaddling. For the finale at his Burberry Prorsum menswear show in London yesterday, Christopher Bailey draped heritage plaid blankets over each model's left shoulder. Geraldo da Conceicao at Sonia Rykiel, meanwhile, struck a similar cozy note with piled-on sweaters draped around the neck like stoles.
