8 Summery DIY Ideas
Hello Friends, it is Leslie here with eight summery DIY ideas I found. Even if it is winter where you are I hope you find some of these ideas inspiring.
1. Lots of quick and easy ideas for cleaning up your home's entryway can be found at Real Simple like this one or this one. I love the painted on floor mat in this front hall!
2. Check out the directions on how to use colorful dyes to brighten up any basic canvas shoe on Martha Stewart Living.
3. Benita of Chez Larsson shares her fabulous organization tips for her home office here and here.
4. Benita also explains about how she organizes her photographs in this post. There are lots of really good home improvement projects and ideas that Benita shares at Chez Larsson, I am sure you will enjoy reading more once you visit her!
5. Even though it is Winter in Australia, Donna Hay still has some beautiful summer entertaining recipes and ideas here.
6. I think poufs are everywhere because they are an easy way to add color or update a sitting area. Here is a pattern to make your own by Amy Butler. You can find more information about the pattern and how much fabric you will need on Amy's gorgeous site right here.
7. Isn't this DIY chevron rug project amazing? Please visit the Little Green Notebook Blog by Pearl Street Interiors to read about how to make an inexpensive Ikea rug not something fabulous all by yourself.
8. I had to end with this delicious looking cherry crumble cake as it would be perfect for a picnic or with tea while doing a little reading. Mowie of Mowielicious is always whipping up something incredible and I am sure you will enjoy checking out his beautiful blog.
I hope you have found a project or two that may spark your creative energy this week. I will see you back here soon, until then take care and thank you. — Leslie.
P.S. Holly and I spent the day together, she says hello to all of you! xo

I LOVE the ideas! I start thinking, 'oh, that seems easy' and 'That shouldn't take too much time'. But I'm getting married in less than 3 weeks so I need to stay away from fun stuff like this for a little while :)
I'm definitely checking back soon though. The chevron rug seems like a great project, and the cherry crumble cake looks yummy!

I would like to clean up my entry way, laundry room, and office, though, so some of these ideas should be a great help! Thanks for compiling this inspiring list.

I like the rug idea! And I must admit that I need to adopt the "Organise your home office idea…" I always love how it looks when it's all clean, but I'm not very good at keeping it that way. If my art supplies are all spread out all over the place, then they're much easier to get to! (Or so I say…)

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Chanukah Then and Now
Posted on | December 3, 2012 | By Azriela Jaffe | 4 Comments
The Judaism of my youth was defined by what I was not able to do. Is that not what characterizes any observant Jew? I may not eat non-kosher food, as G-d commanded. I may not work on Shabbat, as G-d commanded. I may not eat on Yom Kippur – as G-d commanded. I may not eat chometz on Passover – as G-d commanded.
True, but these Jewish ideals were alien to me as a child. We didn't know from kosher, I had no awareness of even the concept of Shabbat, and although as dutiful – and perhaps superstitious- secular Jews, we always attended synagogue on Yom Kippur morning, we ate lunch that day, too. Our Passover celebration did include a rather abbreviated seder, but I had no understanding of chometz, or the avoidance of it – we bought a singular box of matzohs for the seder table, and enjoyed our bagels the next morning, (with no guilt, mind-you, as my uneducated family had no idea that this was a problem).
So what then, do I mean by this notion that my Jewish identity formed around what I could not do – when in fact, our family was so assimilated, it would have been difficult to differentiate us in any way from our goyish neighbors, and there were seemingly no restrictions on our life?
You knew our Judaism in December. Although my parents worked extremely hard to assimilate our family in every way imaginable – and they succeeded – there was only one time a year when they took a firm stand, and we children knew that we were Jewish, and different from non-Jews. Our family did not have Xmas trees and wreaths of holly on the door. Our family did not go to church on X-mas day, we went to the local Chinese restaurant and to the movies afterwards, where the parking lot was littered with hundreds of other Jewish-owned vehicles. We were Jewish, and therefore, we didn't celebrate X-mas.
As a child, I saw this as a problem. The rest of the world got to have fun, and we were deprived. When we lit the menorah and eagerly awaited our presents, the complete absence of spirituality around the holiday made it only a competition we were sure to lose – which kids got the most presents – the Jews, or the non-Jews? We would comfort ourselves with the thought: Our holiday lasts 8 days, and the Christians only get one day, so we're actually luckier. But I distinctly remember as a child that lucky is not how I felt. I was a Jew and therefore, I was not allowed to do the holiday that the rest of the world celebrated. We were different, and deprived.
With the perspective of adulthood, I now see my Chanukah "celebrations" with gratitude. It was my parents' last hold-out, and through it, they formed my identity, albeit uneducated, as a Jew, different from my Christian neighbors. They had given up all other semblance of separation between us and the non-Jewish world, yet somehow, they hung on to this one. Thankfully, as an Orthodox Jew of many years now, I do not have memories as a child of singing Xmas carols, even if M 'aoz Tzur was not in our family's vocabulary.
The Judaism of my children's youth is also defined in part by what they cannot do, according to Jewish law, but now, their heads, hearts, and souls are filled with so much they can, and do, look forward to about Chanukah, there isn't a glimmer of deprivation. The excitement of Chanukah starts early in school with Chanukah chagigas, lessons from their Morahs and Rebbeim about the true spiritual meaning behind Chanukah, and the exciting story of the Macabees, and of course – what would Chanukah be without homemade menorahs brought out of their storage bags year after year? The house smells of latkes, Tatty comes home early from work so he can light the menorah with us, and as we sing M 'aoz Tzur by the window, we thank G-d not only for the miracles that the Macabbees experienced so long ago, but also, the miracle that we are frum, and despite our secular lineage, we have returned.
The Macabees waged a war against assimilation, and with Hashem's help, they won. We waged our own fight, and also, with plenty of help from Hashem, we've won, too. Thank you, G-d.

Azriela, Thank you once again for making me feel less alone in the world. As secular as my home was, my parents stood firm in not allowing us to have Xmas trees or any other types of decorations. They do not even remember doing so, but I certainly do and for that I will always be appreciative. As a movie buff, I have tremendous affection for the custom of going to the movies and then out for Chinese food on December 25. With any luck, I will be able to convince my husband to go to a kosher Chinese restaurant this year!

My boys looked forward all year to the annual "Dreidel Drop" at their yeshiva. At the start of Kislev, a huge hollow wooden Dreidel would be suspended on a wire from the ceiling in the hallway of the school. In the late afternoon of the day right before Chanukah vacation, one of the rebbis would pull on the wire, and the Dreidel would drop. All kinds of little toys, tchotchkes and candy would spill out of the hollow wooden Dreidel, to the delight of all the boys at the yeshiva.
Now I guess you could argue that this sounds a lot more like the non-Jewish custom of whacking a Pinata rather than anything to do with Chanukah (other than the fact that it was a hollow Dreidel) but it wound up being eagerly looked forward to by all of the kids at that particular yeshiva, including my sons.

My childhood home always celebrated Chanukah, and never Lhavdil ever considered celebrating Xmas. My siblings and I, as well as my mother have very fond and positive memories of Hadlakas Neros and latkes.

Like Everyone Else, Dr. Dre Is Not Pleased With the 'Under Pressure' Leak
Theoretically, the first confirmed leak from Detox would be met with squeals of joy and spontaneous dancing in the streets; in reality, it was met with a collective "what the hell is this?" "Under Pressure," the rumored Dr. Dre–Jay-Z collaboration, hit the Internet yesterday afternoon, and no one is particularly excited. Including Dre! Here's his complete statement on the matter: "I want to set the record straight for everybody who's been waiting to hear my music. The song that's on the internet is an incomplete song that I'm still working on. When it's ready, you'll be hearing it from me." But will anyone care then, Dre? [Interscope via MissInfo]

Lennie Niehaus
In the mid-1950s, Lennie Niehaus avoided cliché, incorporated audacious harmonic ideas, and distilled the essentials of big band writing into arrangements for small groups. His recordings are still notable in the 21st century for their freshness and daring. In this fifth of his series of albums for the Contemporary label, Niehaus set himself the chamber music challenge of achieving proportion among four horns, bass, and drums, without piano to cushion the sound, delineate the harmonies… MORE
Back in the heyday of West Coast jazz, alto saxophonist Lennie Niehaus (best known recently as musical director of the film Bird) led… More
Best known for his soundtracks, particularly for Clint Eastwood films such as Bird, Lennie Niehaus (b. 1929) is also a fine cool altoist and a skilled jazz arranger.
Shortly after graduating from college, Niehaus joined the Stan Kenton Orchestra, playing alto and contributing occasional arrangements. To his dismay he was drafted within a year but, after his discharge in 1954, he rejoined Kenton for five years before becoming a freelance arranger.
During 1954-1956, Niehaus led five record dates for Contemporary, all of which have been reissued in the Original Jazz Classics series. Vol. 1: The Quintet has three different four-song sessions and matches Niehaus's alto with either tenor saxophonist Jack Montrose and baritonist Bob Gordon or Stu Williamson on valve trombone and trumpet and pianist Hampton Hawes. Zounds!, also known as Vol. 2: The Octet Pt. 1, has concise selections utilizing the instrumentation of alto, tenor, baritone, trumpet or French horn, trombone, piano or tuba, bass, and drums, performances that helped to define West Coast jazz. Vol. 3: The Octet #2 has a more conventional instrumentation and such all-stars as Bill Holman on tenor, baritonist Jimmy Giuffre, valve trombonist Bob Enevoldsen, pianist Pete Jolly and drummer Shelly Manne.
Vol. 4: The Quintets & Strings showcases Niehaus's alto with a string quartet and a rhythm section on some numbers and jamming in a quintet on others. Finally, on Vol. 5: The Sextet, he teams up with Williamson, tenor saxophonist Bill Perkins, and baritonist Jimmy Giuffre in a pianoless sextet. Throughout each of these projects, Niehaus's writing uplifts the music beyond that of a jam session, giving the performances meaning, direction, and a forward momentum along with subtle surprises.
By the 1960s, Lennie Niehaus had deemphasized his saxophone in favor of writing film scores, but during the last decade he has returned to active playing while continuing to be one of jazz's top arrangers.

The Curious Case of Martin Rivero and his Rapids disappearance
Martin Rivero continues to confound. With a hefty new contract and a fat transfer fee presumably on the very near horizon, where did he go? The Rapids playmaker hasn't started a game in three months.
Rivero has disappeared in plain sight.
Since returning from a thigh injury in July, Rivero subbed on in the second half of just four games. Then last week, in Colorado against FC Dallas, Rivero was on the bench but never entered the game in 2-1 victory.
Rivero has played in just 11 games this season, with four starts. He has one goal and two assists.
"The times I've been able to go in, I've felt really good," Rivero said. "I'm hopeful that in one of these remaining games I can start and play 90 minutes so I can show that I'm ready."

MELA Sciences: Not So Doomed
WASHINGTON, D.C. ( TheStreet) -- MELA Sciences (MELA): Not so doomed.
An FDA advisory panel voted Thursday night 8-7 in favor of recommending the approval of MELA's MELAFind skin cancer detection device. A lone panel member abstained from the final vote.
The positive vote in MELAFind's favor came despite strongly worded statements from FDA reviewers at the meeting that the MELAFind clinical data, as submitted, did not support the device's approval.
Regardless, MELA is still very much alive, so I need to eat some crow. I predicted a negative vote at Thursday's panel based on the overwhelmingly negative critique of MELAFind released by FDA in advance of the panel.I was wrong. Congratulations to MELA and its chief executive Joe Gulfo. The company dealt with withering questions and criticisms from the panel and FDA and ultimately got the positive vote it sought. MELA shares were halted for trading all day Thursday at $2.53. The stock, heavily shorted, will almost certainly head higher once trading opens again. How much so depends on how confident investors feel about the eventual approval of MELAFind. Advisory panels are just that, advisory, which means the final approval decision resides with FDA. I spent 10 hours live-blogging Thursday's MELAFind panel and what I heard from the FDA didn't seen overly reassuring for the prospects of MELAFind's near-term approval. "The FDA review team recommends that this device needs a new prospective study," is how the FDA summed up its presentation to the panel members before the voting began. Whether the close 8-7 vote tally on the question of MELAFind's risk-benefit and the overall comments from the panel members persuade FDA to soften its negative opinion and approve MELAFind remains to be seen. In many ways, the MELAFind panel reminds me of another contentious medical device panel. In 2004, FDA was harshly critical of Cyberonics' (CYBX) effort seeking the expanded approval for a nerve stimulation device as a treatment for patients with severe depression. The FDA's review of the Cyberonics' device was very negative yet an advisory panel still voted to recommend approval. The FDA decided to ignore the panel's vote and rejected the device.

Afternoon Reading List 10.7.13
Rand Paul grilled on "Meet The Press": HuffPost's Katherine Fung posted a piece on Sen. Rand Paul's appearance on Sunday's "MTP." The appearance wasn't pretty. NBC "TODAY Show" host Savannah Guthrie grilled Paul over candid remarks he had made over a hot mic regarding the government shutdown. Paul held his own, but Guthrie was out for blood and she declined every available opportunity to lob the senator a softball.
Why you should read/watch it: You really want to see the 'I Want To Destroy You' grin that's painted on Guthrie's face as she relentlessly throws jabs at Paul. Read/watch more here.
Fox News host doesn't understand parody: Yahoo! News blogger Eric Pfeiffer caught Fox News' host Anna Kooiman when she accidentally tried to pass off a tidbit of information from a fake news story (found on a satirical website) on Saturday. The fake news post was written by Paul Horner and it claimed that "Obama had offered to keep the International Museum of Muslim Cultures open with cash from his own pocket." The claim was designed to entertain using sarcasm, not confirm right-wing conspiracy theories from 2008.
Why you should read it: It really feels like the research team at Fox News just compiles Google search results of zany word combinations, like 'Is Obama even a little Muslim?' and 'Totally, super serious stories about Islam and Obama,' and 'What's the actual definition of sarcasm?' Read more here.

Last week, I was visiting with some girlfriends over a hypothetical game of bunco, and we got on the subject of our favorite snuggly, cozy spots in our houses. The spot we might retreat to with a good book, a hot cup of tea, a Ranger Game, an iphone, or even a Diet Coke over ice. Everyone had their own spot. For some it was their bed, overstuffed with pillows. For others it was their couch, covered with a blanket. And for one, it was even her closet-the one place that was completely hers.
For me, well, I didn't have one, and it really, really bothered everyone around the table. They imagined me somewhere with my laptop typing out word after word-inspired by this very special spot. They threw out all kinds of ideas, including the back porch or a spot by a window, but truly-I don't have one specific spot in this house that is my favorite retreat.
So, since last week, I've been trying really hard to find that inspirational, cozy, special spot. I've curled up on the couch, the bed, the back porch, the kitchen table, the kitchen counter, the floor…everywhere I could possibly think of the stake out and claim as my own.
But still, no spot. Nothing is taking.
It's kind of stressing me out, which I think is the opposite effect of this so-called special spot. Does everyone have one?

15 Responses to Local authority data loss exposed
Looks like most of the lost/stolen devices were encrypted, so no information loss risk. Most organisations have rigorous information security policies in place – at ours you can't attach any external device to a network attached computer without ICT authorising it. Policy states that any information being removed is on encrypted, managed devices.
Might have been good to highlight the fact that the majority of devices were actually secure?
Hi Bob,
In fact the picture varies hugely between authorities – some only have password level security, others have no encryption and in some cases malware was installed. In only approximately 100 cases was data encrypted.
What check is made to ensure that a Council is confessing to all data loses. One may not consider a lost passport qualifies as lost data perhaps.
Herts council is harassing people and threatening legal action for not signing the electoral register. Apart from the concern re data protection since I am already paying council tax I wonder why they are so "keen" and what this data is being used for?

This report does not suprise me, the scale of data loss & breach incidents caused by laptop (and now tablet) loss or theft is huge. The Ponemon Intitute research cites that 1 in 10 laptops are stolen within 3 years, 50% are stolen from the workplace, only 25% of laptops have encryption, 65% of business managers with encryption keep a post-it note of the password with their laptop and 50% of business managers with encryption switch it off.

The Lighthearted Rematch is most commonly a Superhero trope. For one reason or another, two heroes are at odds against each other with high stakes resting on the right one winning. Which of course, happens, even if the "right" hero has to cheat to win. Then the two heroes team up to fight the evil, save the day, yada yada. And now that that's off their plate, they turn, smile, and have a rematch for fun's sake. Related to Ironic Echo in that the first fight or competition is always serious —in deadly earnest, even— and the last one is always another fight, but no high stakes are involved. It is almost always the ending to the Evasive Fight Thread Episode. As such, the outcome rarely ever actually shown. Both to save from having to film/draw/animate the fight, and to show that whoever wins this particular fight no longer matters between them. See also Fire-Forged Friends and Let's You and Him Fight, which can be precursors.

There is good news and bad news for Lotus in terms of upgrades to the E20 over the next few races.
The Enstone squad have confirmed they will add the Coanda exhaust system at the Korean Grand Prix, but they will not test the double-DRS until after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
With McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes using the new design - which uses the Coanda effect of airflow being attracted to nearby surfaces - to good effect, Lotus have decided to follow suit.
Technical director James Allison admits it's a "biggish change" to the E20, but one which they hope will help them to gain some time back on their rivals.
"We've been ploughing something of a lonely furrow on the circuit with our relatively straightforward, power-maximising exhaust," he said.
"However, since well before the launch of the E20 and to the present day we've been carrying out parallel developments in our wind tunnel programme based around a Coanda effect exhaust.
"Once we saw the potential gain of the Coanda system surpass that of our current design it was clear that we needed to implement it, both for the benefit we could get in the last quarter of this season and also for learning experience it presents us for next year. We will run our first version of this style of exhaust in Korea.
"It is not as big a deal as the 2011 style blown exhausts. Last year (for all teams, but especially for our forward exhausts) it was quite challenging to ensure that the exhausts did not set fire to the car. The Coanda system is a little more indirect, and the jet has cooled a little before it impinges on the floor which makes things a little easier to manage.
"There's still a fair amount of rearrangement including new Coke panels, new exhausts, new exhaust exit panels, some fireproofing of the floor and so on. All told, it's a biggish change rather than an enormous one. It's also easier to swap to and fro for evaluation."
While the Coanda gets the green light, the double-DRS will not be used again until the Young Driver Test in Abu Dhabi at the start of November.
"We haven't had the happiest of introductions with the system," Allison said.
"It's been harder than I anticipated to make it switch effectively with only the limited opportunity afforded in Free Practice. We're going to take it away, have another think and most likely give it another go in the Abu Dhabi Young Drivers' test where we'll have more time to develop it in a systematic fashion."

Hours after Rahul Gandhi had come out in support of the Lokpal Bill at Congress headquarters last Saturday, chairman of the Rajya Sabha select committee Satyavrat Chaturvedi got a call from Kiran Bedi in Ralegaon Siddhi. She expressed her appreciation for his committee�s efforts and passed on the phone to Anna Hazare, who too praised the panel�s recommendations.
It was a different Anna Hazare from the one who had attacked the government two years ago after the Parliamentary Standing Committee decision to keep the lower bureaucracy out of the Lokpal�s purview. �He (Rahul) must have pressured the committee to keep the lower bureaucracy out,� Hazare had said. Chaturvedi had reacted, �His (Hazare�s) word is not Lord Brahma�s. Is he Satyawadi Harishchandra?�
On Tuesday, as a jubilant Hazare prepared to end his fast after the bill�s expected passage in the Lok Sabha, few in Parliament or Ralegaon Siddhi appeared bothered about the Aam Admi Party�s �Jokepal� jibe. With the political class giving Hazare an opportunity to claim success for his anti-corruption movement, the latter reached out to both principal parties Sunday writing separately to Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley and Rahul Gandhi to welcome their commitment to the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Bill and exhorting them to incorporate all the recommendations of the select committee.
Replying Monday, Rahul thanked Hazare saying his letter gave him �encouragement� and stressing a commitment to providing the �strongest possible and competent Lokpal system�. �We respect your role in this and are very grateful for your support,� Rahul wrote.
Jaitley appeared to have played a key role in mollifying Hazare with frequent letters � one stated creation of a sarkari Lokpal could not be �your objective or ours�. What is also said to have contributed to Hazare�s change of heart was that his erstwhile follower Arvind Kejriwal had stolen his thunder on the anti-corruption plank with a startling debut in electoral politics.
Following the split in what was once Team Anna, some prominent faces of the movement such as Bedi chose to stay with Hazare and make a success of his movement by seeing the bill passed. Senior BJP leaders said they had nothing to do with the presence of Bedi and former Army chief V K Singh in Ralegaon Siddhi. �They are not associated with the BJP,� said a senior BJP leader.
The Congress�s role, said sources, was limited to engaging Hazare. Maharashtra
