Our Latest News
Lead By Design
Read about what's happening at ZURB in the latest edition of ZURB News.
January 2015
Happy new year! We're over two decades into this commercial internet thing. It's been a wild ride that has completely reshaped how we interact with each other. If we look at other communication tools like the radio and the telephone, we can start to see how parts of the internet will continue to evolve as a mature medium. This is exciting!
But with progress comes the challenge of building smarter teams to drive innovation, especially as the ingredients start to standardize. Design has become an increasingly important aspect that every business uses to refine and polish products and services. It's also helped us think up new ways to create business value and inspire customers. It's still a bumpy ride for most companies, and we at ZURB hope to continue to shape the evolution of design thinking with progressive design.

I went for a run yesterday (after a 45 minute cardio session with Julia, I must be mad!), all the way up to Pen Dinas Lochtyn, where I was in 1999 for the last solar eclipse. We were lucky to have sun, although it was hazy, and my iPhone lens did some quite funky stuff which I don't understand but which allowed me to see the moon quite clearly. Spring solstice, solar eclipse, new moon and 5.5m spring tides – awesome day. I was hoping for some surf, but things weren't quite that perfect!
a poem for granny
Not taken too cruelly or too soon,
Not left to suffer long,
Now true peace is yours at last
You knew your time was come.
We can be content now:
We had a chance to say goodbye,
We had a chance to say I love you,
We had a chance to be there, and cry.
You know your God and are ready to meet Him
The road has been a long one
Many wait at its end
And you know how to greet them.
Father, mother, brothers,
Husband, daughter and friends:
You can be content now,
Take your place with them again.
For Mollie Gurmin, who died 23 January 2015 aged 96.
#JeSuisCharlie – the pen is mightier than the sword. And RIP Charlie, too…my sister's gorgeous fluffy wally of a dog, the softest thing you could ever meet, always so waggy and the epitome of dumb doggy love. In our family for nearly ten years, bless him.
I haven't been posting much because I haven't been able to decide what I should and shouldn't be putting on here. It's always been a mix and match of ramblings and what I'm most into at any given time – surfing, seaglassing, Wales etc. I will just carry on with it being random, as I don't suppose that many people read it anyway. But if you're here for the jewellery, try the Seaglass page!
I want to get more into Instagram this year, with sea/water photos, dogs, Wales, skies and skies seen through trees. Pebbles, seaglass. And yoga, and weights. Instagram and Pinterest tend to cheer me up, whereas Facebook makes me feel sad, maybe because it's sad news, pointless time-sucking video shares (am guilty too), or people so goddamn happy it makes me feel a bit inadequate! (Or a lot.) So, more pretty pictures please. Above left, New Quay Wales; cold, deserted and beautiful. North Wales' coastline and mountains were clearly visible yesterday.
Learn the alchemy true human beings know
the moment you accept what troubles have been given
the door will open
Welcome difficulty like a familiar comrade
Joke with torment brought by the friend
Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover and then are taken off
That undressing and the beautiful naked body underneath
Is the sweetness that comes after grief
The hurts you embrace become joy
Call them to your arms where they may change
– Rumi
Pink heart
Only the second piece of pink seaglass I've ever found, paired with a silver heart charm and sold this Wednesday. Some pieces I'm reluctant to let go of, but I can't wear them all myself!

New drill bits
…and thank goodness. Drilling with the new diamond core bits takes a fraction of the time it was taking before. Have done these in an hour or so – 41 pieces. Eternal Tools rock.
making more seaglass stock
Have been seaglassing furiously. I bought the wrong size of diamond tipped drill bit and broke two lovely piece of blue glass with them. They are a bit big, which is good for thick pieces that won't otherwise take the jumprings, but it takes ages and sometimes breaks them so this week's stall proceeds (which were really good!) go towards more drillbits. One of them just went black and refused to work for some reason!
The Carreg Bica silver handmade charms are quite exciting. A lot of work, so I'll have to price them accordingly, but I think they're such unique items so perfectly placed (with the market overlooking the beach and Bica) that they are worth the effort. It's so lush to see them come up to a satin shine under the sandpaper. Attempts to cut corners by using drill attachments to polish them up didn't work; old-school it is.
Pottery pieces are a delight to work with – so pretty and so easy to drill I use an old worn-out bit. So that means I can make a bit of stuff a bit faster! Which I just have to do at the moment. A few more filled glass bottles as well, and I will have a fair amount of stuff. I bought lots of charms etc. last week and am delighted with all of the bits that turned up. People on eBay (and Kernowcraft) are so prompt and professional, Amazon and co take note!
market days
I shared a stall at the Llangrannog market last week with 'Ocean Pictures' and made more than I have so far! All to be ploughed back in – more pretty silver charms, leather cords and coloured pieces to come. People are (very nicely) free with their advice and I also have new, better price tags in mind with more information on the origin of the seaglass.
I also need to sort out my 'choose your own' boards, so people can select the elements they want then I'll make it up for them then and there. All good fun!

Llangrannog Local Producers Market #1
Last Wednesday was the first Llangrannog Local Producers Market, held on the Ship carpark and organised by a small committee of awesome getting-things-done type women. I spent ages creating new frames for displaying necklaces and earrings and keyrings, and a day making new stock for the market. Some of my faovurite pieces (like the only piece of pink I've ever seen and maybe ever will see) sold really quickly. Blue and green pieces are the most popular, and dolphin charms are a winner, especially when the dolphins have recently visited!
The weather was hot and sunny and it was a really successful day, with such excellent organisation. I wish I had a lot more time to spend on the stall and particularly on the stock, but polishing those damn silver charms takes forever! I made a respectable amount of money and have high hopes for tomorrow, which is bang in the middle of the Whit week. I think my stuff will have most appeal for kids with pocket money to spend, and adults with presents to buy!
Hoping to keep the stall going all summer, because it was a rewarding experience, although it is a big commitment at a time when I feel rather over-committed. Great to see lots of other locals doing their thing, from Louise with her pictures and postcards to The Plwmp Tart's gorgeous cooking. There were a couple of veg stalls, an organic beauty products stall I had to be very strict with myself about, a cheese stall (ditto) and plenty more.

TCU Horned Frogs
TCU Taking Same Approach For New Season

His head clear again and not hurting, Texas guard Javan Felix was back in the game to help give Longhorns coach Rick Barnes a milestone victory.

Mug Shot or Yearbook Photo?
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 21 2014 5:00AM
Texas Governor Rick Perry – a possible presidential candidate in 2016 – was indicted by a grand jury in the Lone Star State last week on charges of abuse of power and coercion.
He showed up yesterday for his mug shot – looking like he was posing for a yearbook picture. He sure doesn't look a bit worried, does he?
The charges allege that the governor vetoed funding of a county office that investigate public corruption because the woman who runs the office refused to resign after her DUI conviction.
You can check out the story in the video clip below.

Ok so I have been looking at adding a sig p238 to my arsenal. I know at first I heard of some issues but I also heard those issues were fixed. I guess my question is why have I not heard much from the 1911 guys on this little gun, it would seem that the p238 would attract them because of all of the inherent similarities. So being a 1911 guy myself I would love to hear what my 1911 brethren and anybody who has experience with the p238 has to say about this gun.

ive read mixed reviews of it. ive handled them they dont feel right to me. my thinking is why get one when you can get a colt new agent or defender in 45acp or 9mm??
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I purchased the P238 Equinox for my wife. It is a fun gun to shoot. It is the perfect gun to slide in a pocket when the Officers size 1911 is not an option to carry.
my new agent fits in my blue jeans pocket just fine. its smaller than an officer model 1911 with no sights to snag on stuff. works just fine loose in a wind jacket or coat pocket.
The Sigs too small for me.
either a ppk/s or bersa thunder 380 work better.
I love my P238 (blackwood grips). It is the prefect pocket gun - night sites, thumb safety and comes with a holster. If needed for bigger hands, you can get an extended magazine that adds about 5/8" and one extra round.
Many say why have a .380 when you can have a 9/40/45. I say what are you shooting at, an engine block? A .380 with personal defense loads has more than enough stopping power. Not to mention, the larger rounds are more likely to over penetrate and cause collateral damage to property, loved ones or bystanders.
I agree the PPK/Bersa options are good as well, but they are taller, thicker, longer & heavier which makes CCW a bit less
Comfortable for most. They are Great for a nightstand gun ( bersa thunder 380 for me) as the profile is easier to feel for and find in the dark and offer a great laser grip for added intimidation/reassurance/accuracy.
when colt introduced the .380acp in europe in made quite a stir as a big bore round
I have a sig p238 elite. I love it! Its a great little gun. I carry loaded with frangible rounds.

HtmlTextWriter.Indent Property
Gets or sets the number of tab positions to indent the beginning of each line of markup.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Indentation is performed by writing the string that is specified by the tabString parameter of the HtmlTextWriter(TextWriter, String) constructor the number of times that are specified by the Indent property.
If the Indent property is set to a negative value, it is changed to 0 before being saved.
The following code example demonstrates how to increment the value that is assigned to the Indent property when attributes have been added to the opening tag of a <span> element and the RenderBeginTag method has been called. This increases the indentation for any markup that is rendered inside the <span> element.
// Set attributes and values along with attributes and styles // attribute defined for a <span> element. writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Onclick, "alert('Hello');"); writer.AddAttribute("CustomAttribute", "CustomAttributeValue"); writer.AddStyleAttribute(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Color, "Red"); writer.AddStyleAttribute("Customstyle", "CustomStyleValue"); writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Span); // Create a space and indent the markup inside the // <span> element. writer.WriteLine(); writer.Indent++;

UFO have announced a North American West Coast tour in support of their latest album, Seven Deadly, which was released earlier this year via Steamhammer/SPV.
British hard rockers UFO have had an amazing, 40-plus year career, so we're excited to be able to bring you the opening track off their twentieth studio album, Seven Deadly Sins. Scroll down to listen to "Fight Night" now!
One of the new models to be introduced at NAMM this past weekend by Dean Guitars is the limited-edition Dean USA DCR Vinnie Moore Vinman Koa. And by limited, we mean limited; only 15 of these guitars will be produced. Moore was one of many artists present at the Dean booth this past Saturday, and the UFO guitarist was happy to show off his new signature model. The photo gallery below features pix of the guitar and of Moore being interviewed by Curse Mackey of Dean Guitars.
UFO, one of the pioneers of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement that started in the '70s, should be no strangers to metal fans. They have been around since 1969, and barring a couple of years of inactivity here and there, they have been consistent at releasing studio albums boasting of some wonderful music, and some fantastic tours to support those releases.

Victory Rose?
The Label that came with this rose said "Victory Rose", but there were 4 plants, 2 different colors in the pot. I managed to save this one. It is from Bloom Rite growers, and is a "Rosa Hybrid". Grows to 2' X 2'. I looked up Victory Rose, and the pictures I saw showed a yellow rose, called "V for Victory". Is this what I have, or is it something different?
Image link:
Is it a minuature rose? And did you by chance get it at Trader Joe's? There was an earlier thread on Bloom-Rite roses on the Miniature Roses Forum.
I also located an address and phone # for Bloom-Rite growers - perhaps you could call them:
Bloom-Rite Flowers Inc
570 San Andreas Rd, Watsonville, CA 95076 (831) 724-2929
Here is a link that might be useful: Trader Joe's Miniature Roses
bought my Victory Rose at a safeway supermarket at lake tahoe. most info says yellow to orange. mine is fuschia color . thanks for the picture. the leaves are an exact match.

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

My sister gave me a sample of this product, and I loved it, so I went out and got more. I've gotten many compliments with it, it's a very unique smell, it isn't something everyone has. My only complaint is it smells kind of masculine, almost like a cologne...could defiantly pass for a unisex perfume, but it does have some feminine qualities. I would say wearing out at night is the best use because it is a very strong scent, it has a bold sexy smell, can be overpowering at first. Overall, it's a good product, it lasts long, and it is unique, you won't smell like anyone else which is a huge plus for me!

Best Service in a Restaurant (2005)
Herban Kitchen
Good help is so hard to find these days. Sure, you'll be well-attended at the Captain's Table on the QE2 or in the grand dining room of the Ritz, but the servers at most neighborhood cafés might as well have been trained at Fawlty Towers. Consider it a lucky break if you don't end up with another table's crab cakes when you ordered steak Diane. Unlike so many of its brethren, Herban Kitchen has a service system choreographed like a Balanchine ballet: You're taken care of by a half-dozen pleasant and unruffled dudes who know how to maintain a precise balance of friendliness and distance. They come and go, filling glasses and removing plates. They don't share their first names or interrupt you mid-brilliant dissertation. And you won't find yourself stuck in that dead zone between dessert and the check when the entire staff disappears outside for a smoke.

This conjures up a rather un-savoury image for me..... think of the smelly stench that would emminate from all those nasty animals milling around ...

Verdict on world's most precious nature reserves: overpopulated, overfarmed and under threat
Wednesday 09 May 2001
They are the jewels in the crown of world wildlife. Rich in animals and plants, they are festooned with biological curiosities that play a leading role in the story of evolutionary diversity. They are also overpopulated, overfarmed and under threat.
They are the jewels in the crown of world wildlife. Rich in animals and plants, they are festooned with biological curiosities that play a leading role in the story of evolutionary diversity. They are also overpopulated, overfarmed and under threat.
A two-year investigation into the world's 17,000 main nature reserves specifically established to protect wildlife has discovered that almost half are now being farmed for food. Human hunger has become the enemy of wildlife preservation. In 16 of the world's 25 species-rich regions, scientists have identified severe malnutrition among the people.
As things stand, 24 per cent of mammals, more than 12 per cent of birds and nearly 14 per cent of plants are facing extinction. Wildlife is now more threatened than at any time since the last mass extinction, when the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
With the apparent breakdown of protection for wilderness areas, scientists are calling for a radical switch in emphasis. They want farming and conservation to be united under the single banner of "ecoagriculture". Rather than rely on fences and prohibitions to curb farming of protected land, the new philosophy aims to boost agricultural production by using scientific advances from genetics to satellites.
The aim is simple: if farmers can double or even treble food production on land they already use, they will have less need to encroach on pristine areas. That is a drastic break with traditional conservation policies and common agriculture techniques, according to a report by the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
The report Common Ground, Common Future draws on advice from 10,000 scientists in 181 countries, and from a think-tank based in Washington, Future Harvest. It catalogues the failure of existing attempts at wildlife preservation. If present trends continue, a quarter of the world's wild plants and animals, and a half of those living in forests, could be extinct or seriously endangered within 50 years.
"More than 1.1bn people now live within the world's 25 biodiversity 'hotspots', areas described by ecologists as the most threatened species-rich regions on Earth," the IUCN says. "Population in tropical wilderness areas is, on average, growing at a rate of 3.1 per cent over twice the world's average rate of growth."
To grow more food, most farmers try to eliminate wild species, to rid their land of pests and predators. Conservation tries to prevent this, but the protection covering just under 10 per cent of the Earth's land surface is not sufficient to protect wild biodiversity, says the report. Projections based on accepted ecological principles suggest that, if there is no increase in wildlife habitat, between 30 and 50 per cent of species will still be lost.
Regions of the greatest biological diversity are under greatest threat. Nearly 60 per cent of the world's poorest people live in the warm tropics, putting intolerable pressure on neighbouring rainforests home to about half of the world's total number of animals and plants.
"To be a 'good' farmer [pre-conservation] meant clearing the wild," the report says. "Later, clearing of natural vegetation and creating uniform fields was further encouraged by mechanisation." Now the trade-off between food production and wildlife protection seems more difficult. "If they want to protect a little more biodiversity, they must sacrifice a lot of production; if they want a little more production, they must sacrifice a lot of biodiversity." The real challenge is to protect wild species and conserve habitat while increasing agricultural production and farmer incomes.
Jeffrey McNeely, one of the report's co-authors, said it was clear that traditional approaches to nature conservation had failed to take into account the unrelenting increase in the demand for food.
"Many people believe that biodiversity can be preserved simply by fencing it off. Our report shows that agriculture and biodiversity are inextricably linked," said Dr McNeely, the IUCN's chief scientist.
"To avert widespread extinctions and feed the world, we must integrate biodiversity preservation into all landscapes, from grazing lands to coffee plantations to rice paddies," he said.
The Singapore Botanic Garden, founded in 1859, is a supreme example of the failure of the nature reserve principle. This small, protected fragment of lowland tropical rainforest has lost half of its 448 recorded plants over the past 100 years.
About 50 per cent of the tree species growing there are represented by only one or two living representatives, a known indicator of imminent extinction. Other animals under "protection", such as the Javan rhinoceros and golden Vizcacha rat, are also dying out.
"Protected areas are fast becoming islands of dying biodiversity because of the agricultural areas that surround them," Dr McNeely explained.
"Many animals need the ability to migrate in order to avoid extinction. Limited reserve areas cannot fill this need and the lands that would be needed for massive expansion of protected areas is already being used to feed local people and fuel local economies.
"Ecoagriculture offers a solution to this dilemma by allowing farmers to produce more food on the same amount of land while greatly reducing harm to wildlife," he said.
The report details six way of implementing ecoagricultural techniques, from increasing yield using chemical fertilisers and crop breeding, to improved livestock management and enhancing wildlife habitats within agricultural land.
Scientists, for instance, have helped to improve crop yields among Honduran farmers with new varieties of coffee and vegetables. As a result, the farmers abandoned less-productive marginal land,which has since reverted to natural forest.
In contrast, Honduran communities that continued to use their traditional methods saw forest cover decline by more than 13 per cent, and up to 20 per cent in some cases, Dr McNeely said.
In Costa Rica, farmers are experimenting with interspersing trees in pastures to shade their cattle and provide a near-natural habitat for some species of local flora and fauna.
In China, planting more than one variety of rice has increased resistance to disease and improved yields, although a burgeoning population is still encroaching on nature reserves.
"Many of the new approaches to ecoagriculture will require a change in the mindset for many farmers," said Professor Sara Scherr of the University of Maryland in Washington DC, another of the report's authors.
"For centuries, farmers have generally done their best to clear land of natural vegetation and keep wildlife off their farms. This was a sign of a good farmer. Now we're asking farmers to let some of the wild back in," she said.
"We are not suggesting that elephants could be allowed to trample farmers' fields. We are saying that there are strategic solutions for conserving wild biodiversity and producing food on the same land."

I'd like to make an overhaul mod for Lego Racers which changes all the themes to Rock Raiders-related ones. For instance, tracks will be re-textured to the biomes seen in the LRR game, and characters will be changed to look like LRR characters. Due to college and other distractions, this will probably take a while...
The latest version of Rock Racers is v18.104.22.168, which can be downloaded below.
Note: This is a PatchIt! installation, but can be installed without it - just follow the Advanced Installation steps below.
Credit and a big thanks to Creator for making some epic custom PWBs and opponent car designs, as well as his continued friendly support.
Credit to Extreme110 for his LRR minifigure textures.

Looking Back
... time with my sisters, Roberto, Debbie and Melinda, my grandparents and Marge, Zoe, and Megan. Just relaxing and spending time with people and downloading music!
Looking back on this contract, it seems like a blur, sort of unreal. I don't miss it, I miss the warm weather, but I don't miss most of the other things. It is just such a strange feeling to me. I learned a lot, I think I have grown up a lot, and truly became an "adult" through ...

Like the night before with the Bjorquists, it was fun to talk Kyukido and all its aspects. During this time they invited us to stay for their forms competition and tournament prep class in the evening. Donated trophies had been collected and were going to be presented to the winners of this semi-informal time. As the afternoon kept ticking away, with nothing ...

I found black pants to wear at the front gate (an errant dryer a month ago shrunk my second pair), a beautiful Indian print shawl, make-up, four books, a new-to-me purse, and a rainbow visor complete with LED lights that work. :) John found a sturdy black briefcase to use for walkaround, a book, and some foundation that will work in a pinch since he's low on make-up ...
