This secret swimming pool in the Mojave desert could be all yours... | #gps
Note: in the end... it's time for me (too) to turn off my screens for a couple of weeks and maybe go look for this swimming pool! "Subjective collections of ..." and myself will be back in early September.
Via Archinect
The piece was completed last Friday and it consists of a single, diminutive swimming pool located somewhere in the southern Mojave Desert between Joshua Tree and Apple Valley. The public is allowed to use the pool, but in order to do so visitors need the key that unlocks it (it is kept covered) as well as the GPS coordinates. Only once you have the key, which is kept at the MAK Center, are you given the coordinates.

(Un)natural Architectures: Scorpion Design Temperature-Controlled Burrows | #habitat
Via Archinect
Scientists have discovered that scorpions design their burrows to include both hot and cold spots. A long platform provides a sunny place to warm up before they hunt, whilst a humid chamber acts as a cool refuge during the heat of the day.
This recent discovery of scorpion architecture adds to a sizeable list of impressive non-human architecture.
Anthills consist of a complex network of paths. Comparative to the size of an individual ant, these structures are mega-skyscrapers.
Likewise, termites build huge structures that have been dubbed "cathedrals." Reaching up to 6m high or more, termite cathedrals are clustered in large arrays that cover whole landscapes.
This complex web of branches was built by the vogelkop gardener bowerbird. In direct refutation of the "less is more" aesthetic exemplified by both ants and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, these birds embellish their structures with any bright things they can find.
Primates, including humans, are probably the most avid builders. For example, from an early age, orangutans learn to design and construct elaborately woven nests high in trees.
Far from trivial – and humor aside –, studying animal architectures helps destabilize the normative understanding of architecture as a strictly human domain of activity. Certain studios – like Animal Architecture – both draw inspiration from non-human design and develop collaborative practices with non-humans. Decentering the human as the center of architectural thinking is a necessary step in fostering a deeper understanding of the complex mesh of interconnectedness that is ecology. Without this step, humans will continue to practice architecture without regard for a larger context, which is why the profession already accounts for nearly half of US carbon emissions.

Algorithmic creationism | #code #games
This algorithmic creationism game makes me think, to some extent, to the researches lead by philosophers, mathematicians, or physicists to prove that our own everyday world would be (or wouldn't be) the result of an extra large simulation...Yet, funilly, even so this game world is announced as "algoritmically generated", planets populated by dynosaurs or similar creatures are still present, so as the dark emperor's cosmic fleet! There's probably some commercial determinism within their creationism rules...
At some point though, we could make the following comment: what is the fundamental difference between the use of algorithms to carve a digital world for a game (a computer generated simulation) and the pratice of many contemporary architects that uses similar (generative) algorithms to carve physical buildings to live in, not to speak about all the other algorithms that structure our everyday life? If not by somebody else, we are creating our own simulation, so to say.
No Man's Sky: A Vast Game Crafted by Algorithms
A new computer game, No Man's Sky, demonstrates a new way to build computer games filled with diverse flora and fauna.
By Simon Parkin
The quality of the light on any one particular planet will depend on the color of its solar system's sun.
Sean Murray, one of the creators of the computer game No Man's Sky, can't guarantee that the virtual universe he is building is infinite, but he's certain that, if it isn't, nobody will ever find out. "If you were to visit one virtual planet every second," he says, "then our own sun will have died before you'd have seen them all."
No Man's Sky is a video game quite unlike any other. Developed for Sony's PlayStation 4 by an improbably small team (the original four-person crew has grown only to 10 in recent months) at Hello Games, an independent studio in the south of England, it's a game that presents a traversable universe in which every rock, flower, tree, creature, and planet has been "procedurally generated" to create a vast and diverse play area.
"We are attempting to do things that haven't been done before," says Murray. "No game has made it possible to fly down to a planet, and for it to be planet-sized, and feature life, ecology, lakes, caves, waterfalls, and canyons, then seamlessly fly up through the stratosphere and take to space again. It's a tremendous challenge."
Procedural generation, whereby a game's landscape is generated not by an artist's pen but an algorithm, is increasingly prevalent in video games. Most famously Minecraft creates a unique world for each of its players, randomly arranging rocks and lakes from a limited palette of bricks whenever someone begins a new game (see "The Secret to a Video Game Phenomenon"). But No Man's Sky is far more complex and sophisticated. The tens of millions of planets that comprise the universe are all unique. Each is generated when a player discovers it, and is subject to the laws of its respective solar systems and vulnerable to natural erosion. The multitude of creatures that inhabit the universe dynamically breed and genetically mutate as time progresses. This is virtual world building on an unprecedented scale (see video below).
This presents numerous technological challenges, not least of which is how to test a universe of such scale during its development – the team is currently using virtual testers—automated bots that wander around taking screenshots which are then sent back to the team for viewing. Additionally, while No Man's Sky might have an infinite-sized universe, there aren't an infinite number of players. To avoid the problem of a kind of virtual loneliness, where a player might never encounter another person on his or her travels, the game starts every new player in the same galaxy (albeit on his or her own planet) with a shared initial goal of traveling to its center. Later in the game, players can meet up, fight, trade, mine, and explore. "Ultimately we don't know whether people will work, congregate, or disperse," Murray says. "I know players don't like to be told that we don't know what will happen, but that's what is exciting to us: the game is a vast experiment."
The game also bears the weight of unrivaled expectation. At the E3 video game conference in Los Angeles in June, no other game met with such applause. It is the game of many childhood science fiction dreams. For Murray, that is truer than for most. He was born in Ireland, but the family lived on a farm in the Australian outback, away from civilization. "At night you could see the vastness of space," he says. "Meanwhile, we were responsible for our own electricity and survival. We were completely cut off. It had an impact on me that I carry through life."
Murray formed Hello Games in 2009 with three friends, all of whom had previously worked at major studios. Hello Games' first title, Joe Danger, let players control a stuntman. The game was, according to Murray, "annoyingly successful" in the sense that it locked him and his friends into a cycle of sequels that they had formed the company to escape. During the next few years the team made four Joe Danger games for seven different platforms. "Then I had a midlife game development crisis," says Murray. "It changes your mindset when a single game's development represents a significant chunk of life."
Murray decided it was time to embark upon the game he'd imagined as a child, a game about frontiership and existence on the edge of the unexplored. "We talked about the feeling of landing on a planet and effectively being the first person to discover it, not knowing what was out there," he says. "In this era in which footage of every game is recorded and uploaded to YouTube, we wanted a game where, even if you watched every video, it still wouldn't be spoiled for you."
When players discover a new planet, climb that planet's tallest peak, or identify a new species of plant or animal, they are able to upload the discovery to the game's servers, their name forever associated with the location, like a digital Christopher Columbus or Neil Armstrong. "Players will even be able to mark the planet as toxic or radioactive, or indicate what kind of life is there and then that then appears on everyone's map," says Murray.
Experimentation has been a watchword throughout the game's production. Originally the game was entirely randomly generated. "Only around 1 percent of the time would it create something that looked natural, interesting, and pleasing to the eye; the rest of the time it was a mess and, in some cases where the sky, the water, and the terrain were all the same color, unplayable," Murray says. So the team began to create simple rules, such as the distance from a sun at which it is likely that there will be moisture," he explains. "From that we decide there will be rivers, lakes, erosion, and weather, all of which is dependent on what the liquid is made from. The color of the water in the atmosphere will derive from what the liquid is; we model the refractions to give you a modeled atmosphere."
Similarly, the quality of light will depend on whether the solar system has a yellow sun or, for example, a red giant or red dwarf. "These are simple rules, but combined they produce something that seems natural, recognizable to our eyes. We have come from a place where everything was random and messy to something which is procedural and emergent, but still pleasingly chaotic in the mathematical sense. Things happen with cause and effect, but they are unpredictable for us."
At the blockbuster studios in which he once worked, 300-person teams would have to build content from scratch. Now, thanks to the increased power of PCs and video game consoles, a relatively tiny team is able to create unimaginable scope. In this sense, Hello Games may be on the cusp not only of a new universe, but also of an entirely new way of creating games. "When I look at game development in general I think the cost of creating content is the real problem," he says. "The sheer amount of assets that artists must build to furnish a world is what forces so many safe creative bets. Likewise, you can't have 300 people working experimentally. Game development is often more like building a skyscraper that has form and definition but is ultimately quite similar to what is around it. It never sat right with me to be in a huge warehouse with hundreds of people making a game. That is not the way it should be—and now it doesn't have to be."

New material that makes objects invisible to touch | #material
Via Sploid
You're looking at a new awesome nano-material invented that does the seemingly impossible: It hides things from touch. Just a thin layer of this amazing polymer will hide anything under it from being perceived by your sense of touch. In this photo you can see how it "absorbs" a metal cylinder.
How is this magic possible?
According to the the scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, this "crystalline material structured with sub-micrometer accuracy [...] consists of needle-shaped cones, whose tips meet." It perfectly adapts and absorbs the shape of anything under it.
The metamaterial structure directs the forces of the touching finger such that the cylinder is hidden completely.
Not only your finger won't be able to detect it, but a force feedback measurement instrument will fail too. According to Tiemo Bückmann, the lead scientists in the project, "it is like in Hans-Christian Andersen's fairy tale about the princess and the pea. The princess feels the pea in spite of the mattresses. When using our new material, however, one mattress would be sufficient for the princess to sleep well."
What does this mean in real life?
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology claims that the material was developed for purely experimental purposes, "but might open up the door to interesting applications in a few years from now, as it allows for producing materials with freely selectable mechanical properties. Examples are very thin, light, and still comfortable camping mattresses or carpets hiding cables and pipelines below."
I like that. Carpets that can perfectly hide cables is something I'd pay money for. And I'd love a camping blanket that perfectly absorbs any rock and twig on the ground, leaving a smooth surface to sleep on.

What Else Could Smart Contact Lenses Do? | #vision
Besides health tracking, contact lens technology under development could enable drug delivery, night vision, and augmented reality.
Last week Google and Novartis announced that they're teaming up to develop contact lenses that monitor glucose levels and automatically adjust their focus. But these could be just the start of a clever new product category. From cancer detection and drug delivery to reality augmentation and night vision, our eyes offer unique opportunities for both health monitoring and enhancement.
"Now is the time to put a little computer and a lot of miniaturized technologies in the contact lens," says Franck Leveiller, head of research and development in the Novartis eye care division.
One of the Novartis-Google prototype lenses contains a device about the size of a speck of glitter that measures glucose in tears. A wireless antenna then transmits the measurements to an external device. It's designed to ease the burden of diabetics who otherwise have to prick their fingers to test their blood sugar levels.
"I have many patients that are managing diabetes, and they described it as having a part-time job. It's so arduous to monitor," says Thomas Quinn, who is head of the American Optometric Association's contact lens and cornea section. "To have a way that patients can do that more easily and get some of their life back is really exciting."
Glucose isn't the only thing that can be measured from tears rather than a blood sample, says Quinn. Tears also contain a chemical called lacryglobin that serves as a biomarker for breast, colon, lung, prostate, and ovarian cancers. Monitoring lacryglobin levels could be particularly useful for cancer patients who are in remission, Quinn says.
Quinn also believes that drug delivery may be another use for future contact lenses. If a lens could dispense medication slowly over long periods of time, it would be better for patients than the short, concentrated doses provided by eye drops, he says. Such a lens is not easy to make, though (see "A Drug-Dispensing Lens").
The autofocusing lens is in an earlier stage of development, but the goal is for it to adjust its shape depending on where the eye is looking, which would be especially helpful for people who need reading glasses. A current prototype of the lens uses photodiodes to detect light hitting the eye and determine whether the eye is directed downward. Leveiller says the team is also looking at other possible techniques.
Google and Novartis are far from the only ones interesting in upgrading the contact lens with such new capabilities. In Sweden, a company called Sensimed is working on a contact lens that measures the intraocular pressure that results from the liquid buildup in the eyes of glaucoma patients (see "Glaucoma Test in a Contact Lens"). And researchers at the University of Michigan are using graphene to make infrared-sensitive contact lenses—the vision, as it were, is that these might one day provide some form of night vision without the bulky headgear.
A Seattle-based company, Innovega, meanwhile, has developed a contact lens with a small area that filters specific bands of red, green, and blue light, giving users the ability to focus on a very small, high resolution display less than an inch away from their eyes without interfering with normal vision. That makes tiny displays attached to glasses look more like IMAX movie screens, says the company's CEO, Steve Willey. Together, the lens and display are called iOptik.
Plenty of challenges still remain before we're all walking around with glucose-monitoring, cancer-detecting, drug-delivering super night vision. Some prototypes out there are unusually thick, Quinn says, and some use traditional, rigid electronics where clear, flexible alternatives would be preferable. And, of course, all will have to pass regulatory approval to show they are safe and effective.
Jeff George, the head of the Novartis eye care division, is certainly optimistic about Google's smart lens. "Google X's team refers to themselves as a 'moon shot factory.' I'd view this as better than a moon shot given what we've seen," he says.

Force Illusions | #perception
Could "Force Illusions" Help Wearables Catch On?
By John Pavlus
What if the compass app in your phone didn't just visually point north but actually seemed to pull your hand in that direction?
Two Japanese researchers will present tiny handheld devices that generate this kind of illusion at next month's annual SIGGRAPH technology conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. The "force display" devices, called Traxion and Buru-Navi3, exploit the fact that a vibrating object is perceived as either pulling or pushing when held. The effect could be applied in navigation and gaming applications, and it suggests possibilities in mobile and wearable technology as well. Tomohiro Amemiya, a cognitive scientist at NTT Communication Science Laboratories, began the Buru-Navi project in 2004, originally as a way to research how the brain handles sensory illusions. His initial prototype was roughly the size of a paperback novel and contained a crankshaft mechanism to generate vibration, similar to the motion of a locomotive wheel. Amemiya discovered that when the vibrations occurred asymmetrically at a frequency of 10 hertz—with the crankshaft accelerating sharply in one direction and then easing back more slowly—a distinctive pulling sensation emerged in the direction of the acceleration. With his collaborator Hiroaki Gomi, Amemiya continued to modify and miniaturize the device into its current form, which is about the size of a wine cork and relies on a 40-hertz electromagnetic actuator similar to those found in smartphones. When pinched between the thumb and forefinger, Buru-Navi3 creates a continuous force illusion in one direction (toward or away from the user, depending on the device's orientation). The second device, called Traxion, was developed within the last year at the University of Tokyo by a team led by computer science researcher Jun Rekimoto. Traxion also generates a force illusion via an asymmetrically vibrating actuator held between the fingers. "We tested many users, and they said that it feels as if there's some invisible string pulling or pushing the device," Rekimoto says. "It's a strong sensation of force." Both devices create a pulling force significant enough to guide a blindfolded user along a path or around corners. This way-finding application might be a perfect fit for the smart watches that Samsung, Google, and perhaps Apple are mobilizing to sell. Haptics, which is the name for the technology behind tactile interfaces, has been explored for years in limited or niche applications. But Vincent Hayward, who researches haptics at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, says the technology is now "reaching a critical mass." He adds, "Enough people are trying a sufficient number of ideas that the balance between novelty and utility starts shifting." Nonetheless, harnessing these kinesthetic effects for mainstream use is easier said than done. Amemiya admits that while his device generates strong force illusions while being pinched between a finger and thumb, the effect becomes much weaker if the device is merely placed in contact with the skin (as it would be in a watch). The rise of even crude haptic wearable devices could accelerate this kind of scientific research, though. "A wearable system is always on, so it records data constantly," Amemiya explains. "This can be very useful for understanding human perception."

Eat Your 3D Prints | #food #print
Via Make
The first time someone lays a 3D-printed piece of candy in your hand, you almost feel bad about eating it. The virtuosity of these pieces confuses the senses: stunning hexagonal structures cluster together like a complex chemical construction, full-color starburst patterns curve as if made from fabric, and neon geometrical shapes interlock without a single seam. On first glance, you think each one is a piece of art and meant to be consumed only by the eyes. But then you taste it and realize this is a whole new recipe.
Sugar 3D printing is a relatively new development and a fun sense-oriented detour under the "additive manufacturing" umbrella, which has often been largely about function. Not to mention this is a huge development in 3D printing materials alone, especially considering that they're all edible. No chemicals allowed. If we can 3D print with sugar, you have to wonder how many more materials are out there that we haven't even considered yet.
Most importantly, food 3D printing empowers us to build upon the culinary traditions that are so deeply imprinted on our cultural psyche. Food, as we can all attest, occupies a prominent space in the human experience. After all, we always seem to gravitate toward the kitchen as a gathering place, and one of the greatest pleasures of being human is making and enjoying a meal with someone else, whether it's to catch up, celebrate, remember, or imagine the future. As culinary practices shift, so too do the experiences that surround them: they become heightened, enriched. This is exactly the kind of progression that food 3D printing will catalyze, as bakers, chefs, and confectioners take hold of capabilities never before realized, giving new shape to the moments of life that revolve around our food culture.
The Sugar Lab
The Sugar Lab at 3D Systems is the birthplace of sugar 3D printing. Think of it as our bakery and the place where all the amazing, sweet creations you see here come to life. Liz and Kyle von Hasseln, who began developing 3D printed food out of their small apartment while they were architecture graduate students, founded the Sugar Lab. For this husband-and-wife team, it started as a simple experiment with unusual 3D printing materials. They first attempted to print in wood, using sawdust, and later ceramics and concrete. Those all produced mixed results. But next, motivated by the need for a special birthday decoration, they tried sugar. After a few months spent perfecting the recipe, they realized they were onto something. A bit later, The Sugar Lab took form as a full-fledged business, with Kyle and Liz using a 3D Systems 3D printer that they'd retrofitted to be food safe.
Now as part of the 3D Systems family, their amazing invention has taken the next step with the introduction of the ChefJet 3D printer, the first sugar 3D printer available for restaurants, bakeries, catering companies, and more. We first revealed the ChefJet at International CES 2014, and the excitement has rightfully been through the roof. Since then, candy giant Hershey's has joined our efforts to find delectable and captivating new ways to print candy.
As Kyle and Liz put it at CES, the ChefJet presents a fantastic new outlet for 3D printing to spread throughout mainstream culture. Food being such an integral part of our social interactions, our family gatherings, and our time at home, these edibles have the chance to open a lot of eyes to the personal power of 3D printing and its myriad uses.
How It Works
For those familiar with the different methods of 3D printing, sugar 3D printing is similar in principal to other technologies like ColorJet or Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). It uses a bed of powdered materials (in this case sugar), flavoring, and sometimes cocoa powder. A stream of water bonds the sugar together within the material bed to form a single layer, then the build platform lowers, a new layer of sugar is spread over the build area, and the machine builds the next layer. So it goes layer by layer until the sculpture is finished.
The results, as you can see here, are just as magnificent as printing with plastic or metal. The ChefJet is virtually unlimited by the geometry or the complexity of the model you want to print. You can create interlocking pieces, perfectly straight lines, and smooth curves, all in full color if you desire. Considering the sugar sculptures that it creates, it makes sense that architects thought it up.
To date, The Sugar Lab and the ChefJet have created everything from customized sugar cubes and structural cake decorations to premium cocktail decorations and exact scale Ford Mustang replicas. Flavor choices are equally delicious with mint, cherry, sour apple, milk chocolate, and others.
But what I love about the ChefJet and other 3D printers is that they provide yet another tool and a multitude of other options when it comes to artistic applications. I discussed this in last month's blog: 3D printing in this respect can supplement the traditional methods, and recipes, that we've developed over years and years. In this case, it's about building on tradition, not overpowering or replacing it. So now bakers and confectioners can match their delectable flavors with never-before-seen visual aesthetics. They can have their cake and eat it too.

If you grew up on the east side of Cincinnati, you probably remember your first Zip's burger. As far as classic burger joints go in these parts, it's pretty iconic. Which is why I feel compelled to mention that their tuna salad sandwich is on par, if not a little bit better. They keep it simple with white albacore tuna, dressed with just enough mayo to hold together (but not so much as to sog out the bread) and pile it high with half-moons of white onion, lettuce, tomatoes, and dill pickle slices on the bread of your choice, which in my case is always toasted marble rye. It's hefty and filling, but without the indigestion-inducing grease, which can put a damper on afternoon productivity levels. It's an alternative worth considering. Now if they'd just turn down that lunchtime air conditioning…

cant say enough about these two together .. love the serum .. better than anything I have ever used but when I add the jade over it I almost look young again! love Lilys products .. still a little pricey for me but worth it .. they really do last forever as little goes a long way.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Amazing product!!
By Forever Young(ish)
from PORT COQUITLAM
As with pretty much all of Lily's producst, this one is AMAZING! I ordered it recently because the SC was out of the facial oil which I have been using and loving as well, and now I dont know which one i like better - this serum is also AMAZING, and I noticed a difference in tone and clarity and firmness from the first use.Along with Dimitri James Skin Rejen serums, I think i may have found the eternal youth/beauty secret formula!

San Mateo man missing along Amtrak route

|Email This
Amtrak police were searching Sunday for a retired San Francisco firefighter who was last seen on an Amtrak train headed to Montreal to visit his grandchildren.
Charles "Charlie" Dowd, 69, of San Mateo boarded the California Zephyr train in Emeryville on Wednesday morning with plans to change trains in Chicago on Friday on his way to visit his son and grandchildren in Montreal.
His family last heard from him Thursday evening when he talked to his son in Denver, said Dowd's daughter, Jennifer Dowd of San Mateo.
Dowd was not on the train when it arrived in Chicago, although Amtrak staff found his luggage and cell phone in his sleeper car. Amtrak police called the numbers most recently dialed on his phone to contact his family Friday.
Dowd apparently spoke to a conductor, who described him as disoriented, around 5:15 a.m. Friday in Omaha, Neb., Jennifer Dowd said. That was the last time anyone reported seeing him, she said.
"This is not in my dad's character at all," she said. "This is a big mystery. We're very worried about him."
Dowd's family was headed to Omaha on Sunday to circulate missing-person flyers and work with police.
The gregarious, outgoing San Francisco native takes medication for restless leg syndrome that can occasionally make him confused, his daughter said.
"He just got approval from his doctor to take this trip," she said. "We never, ever would have let him travel cross-country if we thought he was in any danger."
Amtrak police are working with local police departments along the train route as well as Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway police, according to an Amtrak spokesman.
Dowd is 5 feet 10, 175 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. Police ask anyone with information to call (800) 331-0008.

Michigan Man Accidentally Shoots And Kills Woman While Attempting Suicide
Via UpNorthLive
A 28-year-old woman was shot and killed in Traverse City Tuesday night.
The shooting happened around 10:30pm at an apartment on the corner of 3 Mile Road and Aero Park Drive.
Authorities said a 33-year-old male suspect also sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his hand.
Police said the suspect called 9-1-1 to report he had tried to commit suicide, but missed, shooting the victim. When authorities arrived, the man came outside with his gun, but went back in the house and tried to flee out the back.
Another shot was fired. Police were then able to apprehend the man.
He was taken to Munson Medical Center where he is undergoing surgery. Police said they will question the suspect after he is treated.
This is one of the strangest things we've ever heard. R.I.P. to the woman who lost her life sadly and unnecessarily.

From this weekend, taxi marshals will no longer be at stands to help keep order during the night.
But budget constraints mean Sussex Police, who fund the service, cannot make that commitment anymore and the service is to be scrapped.
We want to know what you think.
Are taxi marshals a vital part in keeping taxi passengers, and drivers, safe?
Or are they not necessary?
Do you feel safe getting a taxi at night?

We can't be more excited for the "Bromance" of all bromances rolling into Hollywood this Saturday night at the world famous Key Club on Sunset. Fresh off the success of Holy Ship, HARD is back at it bringing some the best DJ's in the world back to your doorstep or in this case "clubstep".
Celebrating the release of their first joint EP Bromance #1, out now on their recently formed Bromance Records, techno/house titansBRODINSKI and GESAFFELSTEIN have teamed up for the BROMANCE TOUR, going down in Los Angeles, CA Saturday, January 14 at The Key Club.
Louis "BRODINSKI" Rogé caught the influential ears of Ed Banger Records' (Justice, Busy P, Cassius) Pedro Winter and 2manydjs' David & Stephen Dewaele with his incendiary early singles. After a few years of intense touring, he was recently selected by London's Fabric brand to release the latest installment of their influential Fabriclive series.
GESAFFELSTEIN defies all preconceptions of techno with his elegant malevolence. From his perfectly sculpted tracks, arranged on classic analog sequencers, to his haunting music videos, the Parisian DJ has created a movement all his own. Drawing largely on his original compositions on Tiga's Turbo Records label, GESAFFELSTEIN's ability to transform a dance floor into madness is unparalleled.
BROMANCE #1 : Brodinski & Gesaffelstein from Bromance Records on Vimeo.

Molly Stracuzzi: When remodeling or designing your home, follow your instincts
There is no greater sorrow in home design than when owners forgo their own taste and ideas — however odd — for predictability, formality or even preferences of others.
A reminder: Those others don't live in your home.
If I could give one line of design advice? Follow your instincts.
Don't sacrifice what you love for the sake of others, for what you are supposed to like or simply to do things how everyone else is doing them. Make your home a place you love, even if your friends or family don't.
When remodeling our home, I can recall many ideas that were questioned by others.
The first scrutinized decision was a pair of dirty old doors I found in a junkyard that I wanted to use as our pantry doors. Construction workers, friends and family couldn't believe I even would consider using a piece of trash in our home. Fortunately, I was so passionate about them that their words didn't faze me. After a little cleaning and painting, the doors were installed.
And they are admired and praised by almost all who enter our home.
Others naysayed again when I opted for open shelves in our kitchen rather than traditional (and expensive) cabinets. The negative feedback made us think hard about this one, but we decided to take the plunge, figuring that we always could add cabinets later if we wanted.
Installing plywood floors in our baby's nursery also raised a few eyebrows. "Plywood? You can't use plywood on the floor!" Well we did, and we love it and so does everyone else who sees it.
When remodeling our master bathroom, we knew we wanted a unique, beautiful, calming space where we could unwind at the end of the day. I saw a photo of an extravagant backsplash for a bathtub that I fell in love with and wanted to use something similar for the backsplash of our sink. I came across a striking faucet that fit our design scheme.
The "problem"? There only was one handle on the faucet, meaning only one temperature of water. We were told we couldn't possibly live without hot and cold water in the bathroom.
Despite the stern warnings, we proceeded with the project. We absolutely love the finished look and live perfectly fine with one water temperature, which starts cool and gradually gets warmer. We just brush our teeth while the water is cool.
In all of these situations, we were met with questioning eyes, bold statements and criticizing comments, but we pushed through and did what we loved — and those things are the most loved and complimented portions of our home.
If you're teetering between playing it safe or getting the look you really want, go for it.
Just go for it.

ERP vendor Epicor is on the block for $3.5B
Potential suitors include rival ERP vendors and hardware companies wanting to get into software, analysts say
IDG News Service - Epicor has been put up for sale by private equity firm Apax Partners, which is hoping to get up to $3.5 billion for the ERP (enterprise resource planning) vendor, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, but analysts say it's difficult to pin down who might be interested in buying it.
Apax bought Epicor in 2011 and then combined it with another ERP company, Activant, in a deal worth about $2 billion. Epicor had nearly $1 billion in revenue last year. Sources told the Journal that Epicor could go for between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion, including the debt on its books.
A spokeswoman for Apax Partners declined comment on Wednesday. Epicor didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Epicor recently finished optimizing its flagship ERP suite for Microsoft's technology stack in order to speed up the software and make it easier for development teams to release new features.
It also revamped the user interface, adding support for touch-based devices and the means to personalize screens to a user's liking. In hindsight, those moves may have partly been done to make Epicor more appealing to acquirers, although many of its customers are running other suites gained through the company's long series of acquisitions.
Epicor's focus on small and mid-size manufacturers, retailers, distributors and services companies could make it of interest "for a number of ERP vendors looking to expand their vertical presence around the world," said independent enterprise applications analyst China Martens, via email.
The company "is still in ramp-up mode for its pure SaaS ERP software so any purchaser would be buying more of an installed on-premises customer base on a variety of ERP products," Martens added.
Given the high potential price tag, Epicor's midmarket competitors may shy away from a bid, Martens said. But one possibility could be private equity-backed Unit4, she added. "Back in January, new Unit4 CEO Jose Duarte talked about aggressively positioning UNIT4 around a vertical strategy," Martens said. "He also said at the time that Unit4 wasn't looking to focus on manufacturing as a key vertical, but acquiring Epicor could add in that focus as well as adding strength in retail."
Other possibilities include Sage, which is also aligned with Microsoft technology, as well as Infor, which "is eager to push ahead with industry-focused clouds," Martens said.
Less likely candidates would be Microsoft itself unless recently minted CEO Satya Nadella wants to go deeper into verticals than the company's existing Dynamics ERP products do, she said. Meanwhile, SAP already has a strong midmarket product set, as does Oracle with J.D. Edwards and Fusion cloud applications, according to Martens.
