A friend of mine just showed me this amazing book, Paper Cutting: Contemporary Artists, Timeless Craft, compiled by Laura Heyenga. I thought I'd show you some of my favourite artists from the book, in no particular order.
Fall (2008)
Peter Callesen is a Danish artist who regularly combines large areas of plain white paper with intricately cut and folded paper to create dramatic compositions.
Impenetrable Castle (2005)
He also does quite a lot of pieces on A4 paper, where the you can see how he cuts out the parts and folds them together to make a 3D shape! Quite a lot of them are buildings, and I noticed in his bio that he studied architecture.
Traces in Snow (2005)
Callesen's work is often darkly humorous, such as the above Traces in Snow, where man and bear meet...and only the bear keeps walking.
Eros & Thanatos (2007)
Kako Ueda's incredibly fine and detailed papercuts are influenced by her Japanese heritage (she was born in Tokyo but moved to the US when she was fifteen). In Japan, paper stencils are used to decorate kimono fabric.
detail of Eros & Thanatos
On her website, Ueda says she is "interested in organic beings - insects, animals and human bodies - how they are born out of nature but constantly being influenced and modified by culture." I am amazed at the sheer scale of Eros & Thanatos, and the way in which the viewer becomes mesmerised by the detail - tiny spiderwebs, peacock feathers, lizards and insects.
Pandora Opens Box (2009)
I'm sure you've seen Su Blackwell's altered books before, but I had to include them because I find them so enchanting.
The Girl in the Wood (2008)
detail of The Girl in the Wood
Specimen (II) Poppy (2005)
Justine Smith lives in London, and currently her work is "concerned with the concept of money, and how it touches every aspect of our lives." She makes collages and prints, but it is her sculpture that I am interested in, such as her set of floral specimens, displayed under bell jars, and made bank notes.
The poppy is made from Chinese Yuan, but she has made other flowers in the series out of Libyan dinars, Turkmenistan manat, Saudi riyals...
detail from The Calculation of Loss (2009)
...and of course the British pound note.
Influx (2008)
Mia Pearlman makes site-specific cut-paper installations. I am astounded at how she actually constructs these incredible sculptures, a process which is apparently "intuitive, based on spontaneous decisions in the moment."
detail of Influx
Here, Pearlman documents in photographs how she constructed Influx, a fascinating process.
Hina Aoyama, a Japanese artist living in France, has been making paper cuttings since 2000. Her work is incredibly fine and intricate and would be impressive just as black line drawings. Cutting it out seems sheer wizardry.
I was amazed to learn that she apparently uses scissors to do her paper cuttings, and you can see some videos of Aoyama at work on Design:Related (scroll down a bit to find them).
I've been following Elsa Mora's blog for a while now. A Cuban artist, she paints, draws, and works with ceramics and mixed media, but she also makes some wonderful paper sculptures.
To my mind, there's something a little reminiscent of Frida Kahlo in her work, all the naked women and hearts and leaves, and lots of red.
Fern Eyes
Well, that was a look at some of my favourites. There are 26 artists in Paper Cutting, so it's worth having a look if you can get your hands on a copy.

Conditional list indexing
Hello everybody,
I'd like to know how I can get the indices of the elements in a list
that satisfy a certain condition. Here's an example: suppose I have
the list
a = Table[Prime[i],{i,10}];
that contains {2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29}.
If I execute the command
b = Select[a,#>15&];
b will contain {17,19,23,29}. I'd like to find a way to obtain a third
list, say c, that will contain {7,8,9,10}, i.e. the indices of the
elements in list a that are greater than 15.
Thank you,

12 Things You Wish You Loved Half As Much As Babies Do
Ah, to be young. Babies have a lot of love to spread around, and they find enjoyment in the simple things. We could stand to take a page out of their book. Click here to see how Pampers celebrates all the ways babies Love, Sleep & Play.
1. Cardboard Boxes
You know the drill. You buy your baby a nice new toy, and they spend the afternoon completely fascinated and delighted with the box it came in. So simple! What ever makes you happy, little one.
2. Paper Products
Sure, the purpose of a paper product is to clean messes. But what happens when the paper products are part of the mess?? Your mind is blown, and your baby is extremely happy.
3. Waking up at 5am
Nowadays, when we have to wake up extra early, we grumble through it. Not babies! They wake up excited and ready to start the day. They don't care what hour it is! They're done sleeping - time to play!
4. Bubbles
Think about it. Bubbles are pretty neat. To babies, they are the source of endless fascination. Bath time with the little one is always something to look forward to when you've got such a curious baby to hang out with.
5. Pots and Pans
Sometimes, at the end of a long day, the last thing you want to see is a frying pan. You're too tired to cook, and take-out seems like a pretty solid option at this point. But then you see this scene on your kitchen floor, and you suddenly want to make her a million pancakes.
6. The tutu she insists on wearing for a full week
She's in love with it. She feels like a real ballerina. She dances up and down the hallways, and you can't help but smile and encourage her. Until it's time to wash it, of course.
7. Pretending - and believing - that they can fly
Under your careful watch, babies can fly. At least, in their minds they can. All it takes is a swing set, or even just a simple toss in the air.
8. Not really knowing what the internet is
Imagine a day where you felt no need to check your email, or to keep up with your various social media presences. Does the thought seem ridiculous? Kind of, yeah. You've gotta admire your baby for being completely content sans Facebook. They're just livin' life, and lovin' it.
9. Birthdays
Babies don't mind getting older! In fact, they love it. Presents! Attention! Being surrounded by people they love! It's a dream come true!
10. Being tickled
It's hard to say who enjoys a good baby tickle session more - the little one, or you. That laugh is like music. The best music.
11. Peekaboo
Every iteration of peekaboo is like the first. Endless enjoyment. Never gets old.
12. Exploring new places
Your baby is ever-curious, and always learning. Your baby loves lots, and loves unconditionally. Your baby is the best.

We have a 2000 600 xc that backfires after you start it up,sometimes pretty major. Normally only will do it once,maybe a few small pops, but warms up and seems fine. Just cleaned carbs today,did not see anything out of the ordinary,compression good,could it just be the older gas. Also is somewhat of a bear to start,chokes are adjusted properly.Any ideas.
heres a copy of my post labeled 'cold blooded 01' I had the same problem.
Cold Blooded '01's
I have a 2001 XCSP 600 that was as cold blooded as heck. It has the Mikuni TM38 carbs on it. I did some playing and research on my own along with advice from you guys and found a happy solution. It isn't perfect yet but is 95% better. I always had to babysit the sled to warm it up. Now I don't and I have started it in single digit temps. All you need to do is up the Idle/Starter Jet one size(mine was 140 and now is 150). The Polaris dealer that I ordered it from told me there's no way it will work and that I needed Pilot jets. I told him to just think about it. The Idle jet controlls fuel flow at 0-1/8 throttle. if its cold blooded, you need more fuel. Now I just have to tune my mixture screws a little bit until its perfect! I hope this helps someone else with the same frustration!

How to insulate this attic?
Hello all! I'm trying to do a pretty big insulation project and need some advice on what would be the best approach. This is an older house and it leaks a lot of heat through the roof and the walls of the second floor. There is already a layer of blown-in insulation in the attic and I'm not sure what the best approach is for improving insulation there. Also, there are a lot of tight, sloped walls which are insulated very poorly and I need to figure out how to fill those. Can it be blown in from the attic? Can I to blow it in through holes in the wall? Or would installing batting be best?
Here's a picture of part of the attic:
The area I'm looking to get insulation into is down and to the left in the picture, it's probably a gap of about 4 inches or so in most places. A lot of the gaps along the edge are covered in the blown-in stuff already, but about 50% of them are easy to access.
If I've left out anything important, let me know and I'll post any other info you might need.
Thanks a lot!
Not my area of expertise, but by the "gaps along the edge" do you mean the spaces between the ends of the rafters? If so, do you have soffit vents there? Because if so, they need to be kept clear of insulation to operate properly. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding you.
There are soffit vents, I hadn't thought of the difficulty there, actually. But the problem is that the slope of the roof cuts into the room, like so:
So the wall is about 40% slope and 60% vertical.
Here's a look at the outside:
I outlined the vents here. The real problem is that a lot of heat is lost through those slopes and the walls. Just not sure what exactly can be done about it.
First of all one thing I see wrong with your attic space is that it is underventilated. I would get more vents in those soffits so that you get proper ventilation in the attic. Also when you add those soffit vents install baffles so that you get proper air flow from the soffits all the way to the ridge area vents. You can vent the roof out the top a couple different ways with turtle back or slant back vents. You can also install ridge venting however with existing shingles there will probably be a color mismatch unless the shingles are REALLY new, lol. Ventilation is extremely imprtant and in your case I may not be seeing some turbine vents however your venting issue should be examined either by you or a reliable and credible contractor.
Now as far as insulation how deep is the insulation that is in the attic right now? In our part of the US we use an r value of 50 now for proper insulation and a visit to this http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?...sulation_table insulation chart may help you determine the proper level of insulation for your geographic area and how to acheive it.
Also You mentioned that you are experiencing heat loss on the second level if I am correct. I looked at the pictures of the attic space and it looks like there is at least 10 or so inches of insulation there now which tells me you have some insulation in the attic. Howeve, when I look at the pictures of the drywallled rooms that you kindly provided us with I wonder to myself what is on the other side of those walls. The portions of vertical wallthat comes up 4' or so from my experience usually has a crawl space or storage space that is accessed by some kind of a small door leading into a space that is triangular shaped. So my question now is what is there on the other side of these sheetrocked walls that we see in the pictures? Are these walls insulated at all? I would say that if you are experiecing extreme heat loss that this might be a place to start looking and then go from there.
Hope that his helps and good luck.
It looks like you have ridge exhaust vents, which is great. As mentioned by Paragon, the soffit (supply) vents are lacking. Look under the insulation for a vapor barrier as it changes the ratio of venting required: http://books.google.com/books?id=Z8a...#PRA1-PA604,M1
Is that a snow cover or ? on the washing machine vent pipe?
The gable vent is counter-productive, as per article.
Here is your house, the R values may be wrong: http://www.homeenergy.org/archive/he...95/950309.html
I'd make sure the bath fan termination (in the picture) is caulked behind it to the siding (any wind blown rain hits it directly from the shed roof).
Any other questions, just ask!
Be safe, G
The house was built in 1910, there's no space for crawlspaces behind the walls (which are lath and plaster) as the roof ends where the wall goes vertical. While replacing all the second-story windows we saw no signs of insulation at all.
The roof was recently redone and we had ridge vents installed then. Taking the gable vent out would be good in more than one way I guess, as that would hopefully keep the bats out too... And the black thing is a snow cover, I'm in northwestern Minnesota.
The insulation in the attic itself is about 4 inches thick on average, though depending on the spot it could be as little as 3 or a much as 12, it's very unevenly spread.
Thanks for all the advice so far!
I would remove the soffit plywood, install the 8' cellulose insulation tube (only) up the slope ceiling, install some baffles taped together to reach 18" past the attic/ceiling joint-down to the soffit vent, blowing in cellulose as you fill the slope, pulling the insulation tube out while letting the insulation lift the baffle up to the roof deck underside surface, blow-in insulation to the now accessible walls, and adding continuous venting near the fascia board (as per article) to the new soffit material prior to the installation. Install blow-in from the attic crawl to the attic to get required R-factor. Don't install close to any B-vents (exhaust) for gas appliances, or over any older can lights. Use oil based paint (moisture retarder) on the walls and ceiling in case there is no vapor barrier or retarder on the existing insulation. Seal at electrical outlets so insulation dust doesn't enter room. Ask on our electrical forum if you have knob and tube--- for any heating-up due to insulating. The box stores sell the insulation, let you use the blower for free. Moving on to the basement.......
Be safe, G
Hi Pawige-
This is slightly off topic, however your space looks very much like the shape of my attic, which I am planning to convert to a master suite before too long. I would LOVE to see more photos of the space that has been converted to get ideas if you have any and would be willing to share.

"That was a trouncing. It was pretty embarrassing, the scoreline," said the Harlequins number eight.
"But there is no point being angry. If you lose your head, it's over. You have got to have a cool head.
"We've had three poor performances in a row, but we've got to back ourselves more, maintain tactics and discipline."
The loss leaves England needing to beat Samoa to keep alive their chances of making it out of Pool A and into the quarter-finals.
But judging on their performance against the Springboks, a win is far from guaranteed.
"It is case of dusting ourselves down over the next couple of days," said Martin Corry, who captained England in the absence of the suspended Phil Vickery.
"We are not going to hit the self-destruct button, we know what a challenge we have got next week.
"We will analyse this performance but after 48 hours everything will be focused on Samoa.
"We know we are a side not playing to our full potential at the moment. But we still believe we can hit it and we have to keep striving to produce a performance we know we are capable of."
England coach Brian Ashton was blunt in his assessment of his side's game with Samoa in Nantes.
"There has to be a big performance next week," he said. "If there is one in there, it has to come out otherwise we will be on our way home."
The defeat to South Africa left England third in Pool A, needing to win their two remaining games against Samoa (22 September) and Tonga (28 September) to progress.
It was the first time since the 1998 Tour of Hell that England ended a Test without a point, and came hot on the heels of a turgid display against USA.
England second-row forward Simon Shaw admitted it would be hard to lift the squad's morale.
"It is a problem because we had a pretty poor performance in the first game and now we have lost this game," he told BBC Sport.
"The spirit is going to be down in the whole camp but we have to pick it up and take something out of this game.
"In terms of the game plan, a lot of things went right but certainly parts of our game are just not clicking and we have to sort those out pretty quickly.
"We had one or two chances where we could have gone on and scored, but the fact is we haven't scored a point and have not really looked like scoring any points."
Centre Andy Farrell, who came in for more criticism following the loss to the Springboks, added: "We need to be harsh on ourselves now and, when we review the match, tell ourselves some home truths.
"We have to be straight with one another, be honest about what is going wrong and then put this to bed, because we have got to win next week."
England's problems could mount during the next 24 hours after injuries to full-back Jason Robinson (hamstring) and centre Jamie Noon (knee) left them licking their wounds.
Fly-halves Jonny Wilkinson and Olly Barkley missed the Springboks calamity through injuries, while Vickery serves the second game of a two-match ban against Samoa.
Easter added: "It's how you are in the face of adversity, and at the moment we haven't been good enough.
"I don't think we will have a fully fit team, not the way Jason Robinson went off. I think Jonny will be back, he's been doing a lot of intensive physio."
What are these?

| Convicted serial rapist
Convicted serial statutory rapist
Serial kidnapper
|Carl Schenkel (cousin)
|Robert Patrick
|First Appearance
Ray Schenkel was a convicted serial rapist who managed to make parole.
Ray was previously sentenced to 21 years for the rape of a 14-year-old girl and was suspected of several other rapes at the time. He was previously accused of raping her and seven other girls with his cousin, Carl, but managed to pin the others on Carl alone. He was released afterwards under the watchful eye of his parole officer.
On the bus back to New York City, Ray was suspected of raping a girl named Kelly Browning. Detective Elliot Stabler knew he was a recent rapist and went undercover to prove it. He got a van and tried to see if he would rape again. Schenkel kidnapped a girl and told Stabler to rape her. After Stabler set her free, he held him with a gun until they were in a standoff. Stabler managed to subdue Ray before he was re-imprisoned for 25 years on kidnapping and attempted rape, while it is never revealed if he raped Kelly. (SVU: "Demons")
Known VictimsEdit
- Unnamed fourteen-year-old girl (raped)
- Seven unnamed girls (all raped with Carl)
- Unnamed girl (kidnapped and attempted to force an undercover Stabler to rape her; was rescued)
- Detective Elliot Stabler (held hostage and attempted to shoot)

Gorman: Salka set to script own storyline
Rod Salka knows his story sounds like a script for the silver screen, namely its most famous boxing movie.
An unranked fighter getting his big shot against the world champion in a major arena?
"People want to say it's like 'Rocky,' " Salka said, "but that's like saying I didn't earn it, that I was just a lucky pick."
The 31-year-old Salka of Bunola, near Elizabeth Township, knows he earned this — even if he is being billed as an overwhelming underdog.
Salka (19-3, three knockouts) will fight reigning WBA, WBC and Ring magazine junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia (28-0, 16 KOs) on Saturday night in the main event of a Golden Boy Promotions card at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Although Garcia's world titles aren't on the line, this is the biggest bout involving a Pittsburgh-area boxer since Paul Spadafora fought Pito Cardona for the vacant IBF lightweight belt in 1999.
Garcia has beaten a who's who of 140-pounders in succession — Erik Morales (twice), Amir Khan, Zab Judah and Lucas Matthysse — and is in line to fight pound-for-pound No. 1 Floyd Mayweather.
Salka, by contrast, headlined a card at tiny Greentree Sportsplex in October, then lost a controversial majority decision to Ricardo Alvarez in December at San Antonio's Alamodome.
"I'd have laughed with you if you told me six months ago I'd have this fight," Salka said. "But a lot of things happen over time in boxing, and that's one of the beautiful things about it. You win some fights and catch a couple breaks, and the opportunities open up."
Salka's first break came when Spadafora, who was in line to fight Garcia, suffered his first loss in a majority decision to Johan Perez at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort in November.
Salka followed the Alvarez fight — the consensus is he was robbed — with an impressive, unanimous-decision victory over previously undefeated Alexei Collardo on an Iron Mike Promotions card April 18 in Monroeville.
Mike Tyson was so smitten with "Lightning" Rod that he tried to sign him to fight Rankin's Monty Meza-Clay to headline a card Friday night at Consol Energy Center.
Instead, Salka accepted the offer to fight Garcia. Spadafora will work his corner.
"He knows me inside and out," Salka said of Spadafora. "It's like having me standing on the outside, getting a different viewpoint."
Garcia, coming off a lackluster performance against Mauricio Herrera, expects nothing less than Salka's best.
"Salka is going to give it his all," Garcia said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to fight one of the young stars in boxing. He has nothing to lose."
Actually, it's not the first bout between Garcia and Salka. They met in the 2006 Golden Gloves state finals at Heinz Field, with Philadelphia's Garcia winning on the cards of three Philly judges while Salka scored with the two Pittsburgh-area judges.
Where Garcia shot to stardom and had his second pro fight at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Salka promoted six of his own fights at venues like the Court Time Sports Center in Elizabeth. Some made money, others broke even.
"My goal was never to be fighting big fights at a Pittsburgh casino," Salka said. "I bypassed the Pittsburgh scene and sacrificed local notoriety to try to make it bigger."
Meanwhile, Salka served active duty in the Air National Guard and waited tables at Quaker Steak & Lube to make ends meet.
Now in the Golden Boy stable, he's ready for his first six-figure payday. Salka received extra cash to fight Garcia at a catch-weight of 142 pounds instead of for the title.
"I've been working really hard, and my whole boxing career I've worked to put myself in position to fight for a championship or a title," Salka said. "In this country, thank God, if you're willing to work hard and bust your butt, then the opportunities will present themselves. Opportunities always look a lot like hard work, in my opinion."
If Salka sticks to the script of his overwhelming underdog story against Garcia, his opinion will be the only one that truly matters.

Beware airport taxi mafia!Monday, March 4th, 2013
a friend told me an interesting story about this illegal taxi drivers' gang at kuwait airport and i think it is worth sharing so you be aware of these guys.
my friend was in singapore for a few days, on his way back he decides not to bother his wife and rather call for a cab to head home - upon arrival, and as he walked out of the airport mall, someone whispers in his ear "taxi?" - it was late night and my friend was tired so he nodded and followed the guy, but when the latter headed down the tunnel to call the elevator my friend got suspicious! he confronts the guy and then walks out quickly to call an official airport taxi from the bridge line-up.
according to the official airport taxi driver who dropped him home, an illegal mafia has infiltrated the airport which basically picks up customers as they walk out and mainly targets expats & foreigners visiting kuwait as they are easy preys for their devious schemes - one such victim was a qatari man who was dropped at the marina crescent hotel, given an official receipt and charged 35 kd for the trip! (mind you the official rate card is kd 6) when the qatari guest realized that he had forgotten his camera in the cab, he went back to the airport to claim it from the lost & found but soon realized the scam when the officials told him the cab driver was illegal.
another incident happened with an american guy who got charged around 150$ for a trip to farwaniya, and the list goes on...
these guys seem to have their way inside the airport and so far they act as untouchables - so beware of these crooks and make sure you call for official taxis, they basically wait outside the airport.
thanks for the story rami.
Landed, landed not..Thursday, October 25th, 2012
a friend sent me this picture with a question: do you see anything wrong? my first reaction seeing this on my iphone was: there's no one at starbucks? then he pointed out the problem.
how can this be? the same flight lands in english at a certain time, but then in arabic it lands at a different time! ok, it's only a matter of a few minutes, but still.. this is so hilarious... unless this is what the pilot gets, then we have a serious problem!
thank you adel for the picture.
Busted!Thursday, September 20th, 2012
i received this interesting email from our dear reader mary entitled "my hero" - the story is about this american guy who basically refused to sign a contract because of an article that states "following a dispute between the contracting parties, the issue will be referred to competent courts in kuwait" - his argument was that he doesn't believe that the law can be strictly applied in a country where airport officials violate non-smoking law when they are supposed to enforce it!
well i salute this guy, he surely has a very strong point of view! however, i think he will be reconsidering his decision soon as a group of kuwaiti lawyers, also fed-up with this situation, have planned to sue the undisciplined officials like the ones busted in the picture above.
you can read more on this in arabtimes - picture courtesy of al-qabas who reported the news on september 18th.
thanks mary for the story, we sure need more heroes like this.
Do it yourself VisaThursday, September 6th, 2012
my brother george was visiting the region for business so he passed by kuwait to explore the market - but before exploring the market, he had to explore issuing an entry visa through a guessing game at the airport - this turned out to be such an ordeal, he regretted putting kuwait on his map, and wondered why i did not brief him on the "do it yourself" system!
as a canadian citizen, he arrived at the immigration counter expecting a quick stamp-and-go procedure, but instead he was sent to a special visa desk where he had to wait in line - after standing there for a few minutes guessing what to do, he was given an application and told to go fetch some stamps from the stamp machine, fill-in the application form and get his passport photocopied! can you imagine that! a business traveler has to personally do all this paperwork in order to get an entry visa to kuwait! what a first date turn off!
now to buy the stamps, one needs kuwaiti dinars, and a bank - so he goes to the only bank at the airport, stands in line for 20 minutes to get some change, then heads back to the machine and buys the necessary stamps - but of course, he had to do this exercise twice as he was given the wrong information regarding the number of stamps needed for the canadian passport! after filling in the application form, he heads to the copy machine where no one was there to help, so he takes the initiative to do the copying himself.. after all, the country has set a self-service tone already! as he walks in, an officer fires him out of the copy-room and asks him to wait for the attendant - so he waits for another 10 minutes until the copy-guy shows-up - he finally gets his stuff done and heads back to the visa counter queue to hand his papers in - then he was asked to wait on the side bench.
he waits there for more than 20 minutes but nothing happened, so he inquires about the delay only to discovers that the desk officer was having a "between shifts" cigarette break... the guy actually had the nerve to bluntly tell george "i am on a break!!!" p.s: this is supposed to be a non-smoking facility!
a few minutes later his papers were ready, the new desk officer calls him for a few questions, including the meaning of the word "june" on the passport!! george had to explain that this refers to the 6th month of the year...
after his ordeal was over, he grabs his precious visa and heads to the immigration queuing line to spend yet another 20 minutes - then an officer invites him to skip the line, skip the immigration desk and walk out to the luggage area without passport stamping procedures! flabbergasted, he refuses to comply, but after repeated orders he had to oblige... george is now very worried about his exit, will it be without a problem or an investigation?
from my perspective things were a bit different - i was waiting outside for two freaking hours, with nothing else to ease my pain but cinnabon's center of the roll and a few messages to briefly update me of the status - finally, george manages to walk out at 10:30pm whilst the plane had landed at 8:20pm! thank god he only had a carry-on bag and didn't have to wait for luggage!! oh and by the way, he was coming from qatar where he landed 24 hours ago - the flight from qatar to kuwait took around an hour, whilst getting out of kia took two! time to get an entry visa to qatar? instant stamp-and-go at the immigration desk...
i came across this kuwait visa website where visitors to kuwait can find useful information about visa procedures - i think it will be good to add a "did you know" section aimed at managing visitors' expectations giving them a heads up on the situation upon arrivals - a "do it yourself visa" electronic manual would also be useful, anything to market this website abroad and get people to know of its existence would be a good start - if a better system cannot be put in place, may be raising awareness about the "do it yourself visa" system could actually be a temporary solution.
Awesome Cinnabon "Center of The Roll"Wednesday, September 5th, 2012
my favorite cinnabon has always been the classic roll with the extra icing, don't like much the chocolate, it is too sweet for me - however, after last night, my new favorite at cinnabon is "center of the roll" - center of the roll is the best part of the roll, the ooey gooey middle, the juicy bite you usually leave for last - imagine all that in one piece, stuffed with apples or cherries! omg!! they are absolutely delicious!
this is how they look from the inside, pretty juicy and mouth watery - the only thing that didn't strike me as awesome is the name of these heavenly bites, it's quite a mouthful!
above is the scene of the crime, taken at the time of the murder - this whole massacre took less than a minute, i had my reasons, i'll explain tomorrow, it was quite an interesting night at the airport...
WARNING: DO NOT EAT AT THE AIRPORT FOOD COURT!Monday, June 25th, 2012
thursday night, i took the kids to the airport food-court to grab some rolls before takeoff - after consuming the damn food from cinnamonster, i spotted some roaches roaming around the place, it was not one, but many... these are the babies, you should have seen their parents!
i was sick to my stomach, but then i gathered my courage and took a couple of photos, the girl at the counter objected and asked why am i taking pictures, so i showed her why, but she wasn't shocked as it seems that the wooden floor under the tiles is filled with roaches nests and they can't spray it for fear of a full-scale invasion!!!
wth!!! shame on cinnamonster, they should replace that dragon mascot with a cockroach!!
watch-out people, if you're gearing up for summer vacation, a big WARNING: DO NOT EAT AT THE AIRPORT FOOD COURT!!
apologies for the late post, i wrote this in beirut and sent it to my husband as soon as i could.
For or against permanent eyebrows tattoo?Tuesday, February 21st, 2012
One of our loyal readers was traveling to dubai and she noticed that there's a growing trend amongst kuwaiti women to permanently tattoo their eyebrows despite their having healthy thick hair and well defined eyebrows.
permanent tattooing is particularly to people who have lost their eyebrows as a consequence of old age, disease, genetic disturbance, or to disguise scars and white spots in the skin, but tattooing healthy eyebrows simply out of fashion may not even look nice in this case, the word used by mary was more like hideous & frightening!
moreover, as with tattoos, permanent makeup can be difficult to remove - common techniques used for this are laser resurfacing, dermabrasion (physical or chemical exfoliation), and surgical removal which is more painful and laborious than the tattooing itself.
should there be a national awareness campaign on the adverse effects and complications of permanent eyebrows tattooing?
thank you mary for the story.
Starbucks getting lazy again!Thursday, September 1st, 2011
back in jan we wrote about starbucks keeping magazines in their shops for months and a few days later they reacted and replenished the shelves - i guess it's about time for yet another post as the magazines at the airport shop date from june and some from feb! come on guys!! who wants to read ancient news?
this is so bad for starbucks image, please keep the magazine updated and find some other stuff to decorate shelves!
Meet the only "quick hot meal" at the Airport MallWednesday, August 24th, 2011
i had to make a quick trip to beirut a couple of days ago so i reached the airport a bit late, all sweat and panting - basically i had around 10 minutes for lunch as i totally hate airplane food, so i decided to grab a quick hot meal - my first destination was chili's so i asked the waiter for the "quickest hot meal" they have on the menu and the answer was 12 to 15 minutes - it was a "no go" so i apologized and tried carino's but i heard the same answer there, apparently 10 minutes are not enough to prepare hot pasta.
i didn't want to settle for a turkey & cheese sandwich, so i tried coffee bean & tea leaf and to my surprise they had scrambled eggs with sausages - though that's in their breakfast menu, the guys were kind enough to serve the meal for lunch - i finished in exactly 10 minutes and sprinted to the gate.
bottom line, i miss mcdonald's!
What's new at the Airport Mall 2Monday, July 11th, 2011
first of all, nike is opening a new store next to carbon fiber on ground floor level - second piece of news is the closing of the costa coffee area for renovation, which leaves all passengers with one place for coffee and food: the newly renovated food court! so no real improvement here... last year everybody was stranded at costa coffee and this year at the food court - where will people be stranded next year? that is the question..
What's new at the Airport MallWednesday, May 25th, 2011
the food court at the airport mall has partially opened including cinamonster, chilis too, carino's and the coffee bean factory - frankly, i didn't like it much as it is too cold and lacks soul - may be it's too soon to judge, but disappointing for the moment - and mcdonald's is also opening soon at the parking lot, but this you might already know.

And, an air trip suspension program allows you secure your expense with your heavy-duty truck by blocking the cruel use and tear attributable to heavy towing.
But, right before you decide to buy an item which will have this sort of a big affect on the truck, your trailer as well as your load, there are actually various variables to take into consideration, such as load ability, production good quality, simplicity of set up, changes on your vehicle, guarantee, and much far more.
Listed here absolutely are a several tips for serious customers that are seeking for optimum effectiveness and worth inside of a truck air suspension program.
All Truck Air Suspensions are certainly not Created Equivalent
When you begin buying close to, remember that you will find two major different types of air suspension programs available:
o Adjustable "helper" springs. This kind of method is usually comprised of the add-on helper spring that aids in leveling the truck and cutting down auto bounce, dip, or bottoming out when hauling a major load or towing. The air springs is usually modified, normally which has a support station air hose, into the truck's load ailment for more regulate and leveling guidance.
Disadvantages: The helper springs are bolted straight onto your truck's manufacturing unit leaf springs. Regretably, factory leaf springs deflect and twist beneath acceleration and braking. This axle "wind-up" not just would make the truck fall when you speed up, but it surely also would make the truck dive ahead whenever you apply the brakes, throwing almost all the body weight on the truck and trailer onto the entrance suspension and brakes. Helper springs also tend to distort the purely natural spring frequency with the leaf springs, really creating the journey worse in selected conditions. This type of air suspension system is greatest suited to leveling the journey and lightweight or occasional towing.
Strengths: preliminary charge is less expensive. (Observe that more equipment can be necessary after some time, offsetting the expense).
o Complete towing suspension program. This sort of process is intended to equally amount the truck and increase the over-all trip. Putting in these kits requires getting rid of the steel leaf spring to the truck and replacing it with the entirely new air spring. Some makers also swap entrance and rear shocks for optimum performance.
Disadvantages: Dearer. (Notice: if you purchase a top quality package that comes total with each of the bells and whistles for long-term functionality, it may well offset the preliminary price)
Rewards: Truck's metal leaf spring is taken off and changed using a new spring, which lets for increased handling and handle, security, and basic safety, regardless if hauling the heaviest masses. From time to time the producer will install front and rear shocks to match the frequency of suspension.
Assess Important Options and Options
Just like any merchandise, each truck air suspension process statements to have the "latest and greatest" capabilities and gains. It is easy to acquire caught up in all the hype, but once you arrive right down to it, you'll find some items which are additional important than other people. Here's a listing of key options and choices to look at when comparison buying.

connected with the skills, knowledge, etc. that you need to have in order to do a particular job vocational education/qualifications/training See related entries: Describing jobs Culturevocational trainingVocational training is intended to give people the skills and knowledge they need to perform a particular job, and involves practical instruction as well as theory. Most vocational training takes place not in universities but in Further Education colleges and in colleges specializing in art, accountancy, etc. Some secondary schools now also offer an introduction to vocational training.NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications) are qualifications that can be obtained by people already working in a particular industry. Colleges of further education run courses to provide a theoretical background. NVQs are awarded on the basis of practical work, spoken and written tests, and coursework. There are five levels, from Foundation to Management. In schools and colleges people can combine study with practical training for particular kinds of employment by doing vocational GCSEs or choosing a 2-year Diploma course for students aged 14–19 at three levels, Foundation, Higher and Advanced. There are also BTEC courses in schools, colleges and universities.In the US there are no national qualifications like NVQs, though some professional organizations decide on their own qualifications and some of these have become widely accepted. Much vocational training is done by private institutions which are sometimes called proprietary schools. Although many of these are good, in general they have a bad reputation. This is partly because there are no controls over who can operate such a school. Some proprietary schools try to get as many students as possible, including some who will probably not be able to complete their training.Most US secondary schools programmes do not provide a choice between an academic and a practical track (= programme of study), but most do give students an opportunity to take some practical or vocational classes. Large school districts may have magnet schools, schools that attract students with certain interests, and some of these may have a larger choice of vocational courses.adjectivejump to other results

Integral of a bivariate function
For a given bivariate function I want to calculate the integral of
the function over an arbitrary compact region A, for instance over
A={(x,y)| f(x,y)=c} for some constant c. The function is smooth and in
my application it is the joint density of two continuous random
variables. I wonder if this can be done in Mathematica and in that
case how. Otherwise I'd appreciate any pointer to other programs which
can be used for this.

/// Feast on This Kaleesi Burger Inspired by Game of Thrones
May 2, 2014 | Media Week
The inventive chefs over at PornBurger have created another masterpiece: the Kaleesi , a slightly misspelled homage to Game of Thrones dragon mother Daenerys Targaryen. Known as Khaleesi to her Dothraki followers in the HBO series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Daenerys famously had to eat an entire raw horse heart without vomiting, which might explain why the patty on this culinary beast is made from dinosaur kale

One Direction Working on New Music, but for What?
Could One Direction already be working on their third album? One of their producers confirms he recorded new music with the guys recently.
"I was just with them last week in London — hanging out, working on a few new things," producer Julian Bunetta told MTV. "I can't really say, but it's gonna be pretty cool… I mean, obviously we're working on new music but they didn't say what the new music is for. It might be for nothing. It might only be for my ears … or, it might be something that gets put out for the world to hear."
The boys of 1D worked with Bunetta on their charity cover of Blondie's 'One Way or Another' and multiple tracks on 'Take Me Home.' Bunetta added, "They are very professional, they know how to get the job done, they know when it's time to really focus and get down to business. But that being said, it's never a stale atmosphere. It's always fun. We're always having a laugh."
One Direction's massive world tour kicks off on Feb. 23 and runs through November, leaving them little time to put together a new album anytime soon. That makes it unlikely that the follow-up to 'Take Me Home' will arrive before 2014.
Would the guys really want to make their loyal Directioners go without new music for an entire year? Probably not. We're betting some of this new music gets released somehow, perhaps in the form of a promotional single or a song on a movie soundtrack.

Peter's Food Service said its "Starvation Army" volunteers took 10 boxes of pasties and sausage rolls to the London Fashion week event.
A spokesperson for the Bedwas firm, near Caerphilly, said: "Who knows it may even be the end to size zero."
The organisers of the fashion show have been asked to respond.
The pie-making firm said it decided to address the issue of ultra skinny models when the topic was debated at the London Fashion Week last autumn.
Company spokesperson Claire Birt said: "We felt that these models who look very hungry could do with some of our products.
"Some of the models said 'we might be tall and we might be thin but actually we do get hungry'.
"So we thought during this very busy week for them, when we know they work very hard, that we should deliver some supplies to them and help boost their energy."
It is not the first time the pie-making firm, which has 10 depots across the UK, has mobilised its "starvation army".
In July 2007, the bakers presented Miss Wales 2007, Kelly Pesticcio, with a year's supply of pies and pasties following her crowning.

The Few, The Proud, The Sleepy: 24-Hour Video Winners
About this time one year ago, one crazy, mixed-up team was hauling a gorilla suit, an 8-inch foil ball and two homemade meat helmets around Dallas in a desperate attempt to complete the Video Association of Dallas' 24-Hour Video Race. That team—our team, made up of Dallas Observer staffers, former staffers and friends—willingly jacked up their sleep schedules and took on the challenge of creating a 5-minute video based on four criteria given to them when the clock struck (the first) midnight: a theme, location, line of dialogue and prop. This year, other fun-loving film nerds have already done all the hard work and it's time to watch the final offerings—and let's not lie, no matter how awesome or how terrible it ends up being, part of the excitement of producing your own video in a day comes from knowing you'll see it play in an actual theater. From Tuesday through Thursday, May 8 through May 10, the Angelika will screen entrants' work. The night of Monday, May 14, the Angelika will then offer a screening of the finalists. 24-Hour team members get in free with Race lanyards. The public is welcome with admission $5 per adult and $3 per child 12 and younger. The screening schedule is available online at 24hourvideorace.com.

Orlando Defeat Has Storm Back in Division Race
Not too long ago the Storm were mired in a five-game losing streak and any talk of playoffs seemed a bit silly.
But two straight wins have re-energized the team. And results elsewhere have put the Storm (5-6) back in control of their destiny.
Orlando lost 58-48 in Iowa Saturday night. Though the Predators saw the return from injury of QB Jason Boltus, he wasn't particularly effective and ended up getting subbed out for Bernard Morris.
Though the Predators still lead the South Division at 6-5, the Storm now are just a game behind -- the gap was three previously. Each of the four Arena league division winners get to host the four first-round playoff contests.
Tampa Bay would have to finish ahead of Orlando to take the division, since the Predators have already beaten the Storm twice. However there is one more meeting between the clubs in Tampa June 21.
The two games until then could be just as critical. Should the Storm not overtake Orlando for the division crown, they would have to catch up to both Philadelphia and Iowa for the second Wild Card. Both teams are a game ahead of the Storm -- and it just so happens the next two Storm games are against them.
Philadelphia comes to the Tampa Bay Times Forum for a 5 p.m. kickoff this Saturday. The Storm travel to Iowa the following weekend.
For the current AFL standings head HERE.
The first Wild Card seems sure to go to the second-place finisher in the East Division. Pittsburgh is 8-3 after giving Cleveland (9-1) its first loss of the season Saturday.

Coming to Montreal this weekend? Eager to partake in Canadian Thanksgiving?
Here are my restaurant suggestions for the finest of Montreal turkey, potatoes and cranberry sauce.
Thanksgiving in Montreal – celebrated the second weekend in October – is not the major celebration it is in the US, but it is nonetheless an excuse to get together with family and eat, eat, eat. And since it's generally a home-cooked affair, not all restaurants offer Thanksgiving feasts for tourists. That said, if you're coming to Montreal this weekend, you can try our traditional Thanksgiving dishes at one of the following restaurants:
• Traditional Thanksgiving at B&M
B&M restaurant has been serving a traditional Thanksgiving meal for years now. Soup, turkey, potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce for only $16! Memories of your childhood are guaranteed. Served from Friday October 9 to Monday October 12.
• Classic Thanksgiving at Le Montrealais
The majestic Le Montréalais restaurant inside the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth will be offering a classic turkey meal. Get it with soup and dessert for $35.
• Sophisticated Thanksgiving at Globe
Globe restaurant, located in the trendy part of St-Laurent Boulevard has a fancy Thanksgiving meal planned. Butternut squash cream soup, turkey, sweet potato purée and cranberry sauce are concluded with a wedge of pumpkin pie. Available on Sunday and Monday for $48.
And if you're wondering just how to work up an appetite for a Thanksgiving meal, I recommend a walk through Montreal's Jean-Talon Market which is positively brimming with seasonal produce just in from the fall harvest. There's no better place to indulge and give thanks!

Maybe, the Christians got it right on the God thing. What they didn't know that is there is intelligent life right and God manifested himself in another way than us.
And there is millions of our civilizations among this universe and millions of ways God revealed himslf to them
But see it was none of business to know how he did it. It is beyond our feeble little minds. Us humans think we are terminally unique. Guess what. We are not. We are little specks in the infinite, large cosmos.

Then again, maybe they don't! What manifestations are you talking about anyway? Revelations....show proof of just one, just one.
I don't think I'm terribly unique and yes we are all tiny specks in a very large universe. What's your point? It's the cristians who think they are so special that they can walk on streets of gold for all eternity. When it comes to feeble minds, speak only for yourself.

I think you are right, mooze. Not much at all was really said. But I do have some thoughts on the subject.
Those who value science are people who have faith in verifiable data and observed results of experiments. Religion is something they judge on their own, regardless of what they were taught.
Those who value faith above science are people who have faith in parents, teachers and other authority figures who taught them their religion.
There are high and low IQs in both groups, though there is a greater tendency towards high IQs in the science related group.
The core value for each is faith: faith in data & observation; or faith in some trusted members of society.

There is no possible way for any of us to know how we ended up here. Religion is full of fairy tales, science is full of theories... So, in my opinion, it is futile to argue about it. Let people believe what they want if that's what makes them feel a little better about dying... Because that's what it all comes down to in the end. DEATH! The unknown! Do we continue on? Or is it really the end?! The only one's who know the answer are not here to give it to us. But in my opinion, if there were nothing after life, then life itself is meaningless. And there is a reason for everything. IDK, if this came out the way I intended(I'm half drunk)=) But if you can find any living thing on this planet that does not have a purpose, then my theory is debunked!

Well said!
Christianity is based on death. It promises us eternal life in heaven, and reduces it's adherents to a bunch of forlock-tugging, self-pitying people who believe that they are "unworthy" because of their inherent sinfulness.
This philosophy completely overshadows the enjoyment of life.
What else does it do? It opresses women and denies them equality with men, it persecutes homosexuals and it terrifies little children like Curtis Lowe.
Wait a minute - there's more: It represses scientific research and promotes superstition and the worship of an imaginary god while all the time, condemning mortal man.
It's time that religion was kicked out of the public square and back where it belongs - in the minds of the ignorant and gullible.

Einstein got this one right so I'll use his words.....
"Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.
From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends"

In my opinion, if there is nothing after life, then it's up to us to make every day count for something. If you've only got one chance, make the most of it.
Why does everything have to have a purpose for you to qualify? If you want everything to be structured and balanced, that's fine. Just be aware that you may not get it, no matter how badly you want it. Wouldn't you be better off woking with what you've got?

The Earth is mysteriously placed in just the right position in order to sustain life... Is that not order, structure, and balance all in one? A flower creates pollen, a bee will collect the pollen and scatter it about thus pollinating other flowers of the same type and continuing the cycle, is that not purpose? Every living thing on this planet has a purpose. What I am saying is that the purpose of all living things would be futile if there were nothing on the other end of life, i.e. DEATH. Everything has a cycle. Does a circle ever end?...

In our brief lifespan, we are free to make our own purpose. Most people throw that choice away by hoping for something eternal. For my way of thinking, it is silly to find a higher purpose in floating around "somewhere up there" with nothing to do for ever and ever, veging out or singing songs or just sitting there playing with their spirit navel.
Life is here now. It is often a struggle, and sometimes downright delicious. That is a grand enough purpose for me.

On a mountaintop far away, a snowflake balances precariously on a rock.
Soon, a brisk wind nudges that snowflake off the rock.
It tumbles down, collects several more snowflakes and a few specks of dust.
Soon, a dirty ball of snow and dust is rolling down the mountainside.
As it rolls, it collects small twigs, larger rocks, pine cones and an old shoe left by a hiker ten years ago.
Now, growing in size, it collects broken branches from trees and more snow by the truckload.
Most of the way down the mountain, it slams into a very large bolder, smashing into a thousand pieces.
Those pieces are hurtling in the air at a high volocity toward the vally below.
On the vally slope, a squirrel sits munching on a nut.
The squirrel is hit and killed by the shoe left on the mountainside by a hiker ten years ago.
So it is OBVIOUS, God wanted that squirrel dead when he put the snowflake on the top of the mountain.
It is a perfectly ordered world.

Now, as she plows ahead with global expansion in an increasingly crowded field, Ms. Day is feeling the heat to keep producing $100 yoga pants that are technically advanced enough to fight off low-cost copycat rivals, while responding to shareholders' escalating financial expectations, and overseeing her brand of "entrepreneurial capitalism." It's about building a company that can grow fast while remaining nimble.
When Ms. Day arrived at Lululemon in early 2008, it was suffering not only from growing pains – keeping shelves stocked to keep up with high demand for its products – but also from Mr. Meers' top-down management style, Mr. Wilson says.
Mr. Meers, a retired CEO of Reebok International, was hired in late 2005 to give Lululemon more structure. But because of his "big testosterone-type of male" personality, he failed to mesh with Lululemon's culture of "co-operation and empowerment," resulting in "a culture clash within the upper echelons of the company," Mr. Wilson says.
Ms. Day says that after Mr. Meers left, it was hard for Mr. Wilson to trust that another CEO would get the results he was looking for. "I've had to really carve my own space and he's had to be willing to let go. But I think it's been a far more graceful transition than a lot of companies go through with founders, and in large part that's because of him and in large part it's because of me and my commitment to creating companies based on the same values that he has."
They saw eye to eye on their first meeting, set up by a mutual friend and member of the Lululemon board of directors who had done consulting for Starbucks. Both were passionate about entrepreneurial capitalism. At Lululemon, it meant elevating an athletic wear retailer to a purveyor of healthy living; at Starbucks, it was transforming pricey cafés into go-to meeting places.
At the time of Ms. Day's appointment as CEO, Mr. Wilson said he wanted a woman to head the company. Today, however, he says he was looking for someone that fit with Luluemon's culture and "it was a bonus that she was a woman."
Ms. Day, 50, has made key decisions through her career that helped her land in that top spot. Her first job was in financial services, marketing private placement offerings to wealthy investors in the early eighties. In 1986, she helped businessman Howard Schultz do his own offering for a start-up coffee company and she subsequently became its third employee. Eventually, it acquired the then-fledgling Starbucks and, as she says, she put her future in the hands of a man who "believed people would spend $2.50 for a cup of coffee when you could get drip coffee at 7-Eleven for 50 cents."
After having helped Starbucks expand globally, and headed its Asia-Pacific division, she reached a peak, but realized she couldn't go further and replace Mr. Schultz as CEO.
"I would have been unhappy with myself if I had not pushed it to the next level but I couldn't do it there and I knew that." She took a sabbatical in 2007 to spend time with her three children, now 13, 24 and 26, and husband Pat.
His career decisions helped her climb the ladder. He left his senior job at Boeing after 20 years to stay home with their youngest, Connor, after he was born and she had taken a six-month leave. "He wanted to do something else because I think he saw how much I loved what I was doing and he didn't love what he was doing," she says. He subsequently bought a boat dealership, which he sold when she decided to join Lululemon.
Ms. Day makes a point of visiting stores, a key part of her collaborative style. Just a few weeks ago, when she visited the Whistler shop, she got an earful. Her staff had been bombarded with complaints about a new $52 lightweight tank top which replaced the same top in a heavier weight fabric, making customers feel as if they were paying a premium for a lesser product.Report Typo/Error

Jitters are gone once you're out of the gate.
Brian Lopes, known for his "Lazer"-sharp focus, hones his sights on a podium finish.
Jared Graves prepares to flog his beloved Sasquatch. And flog it he did, all the way to victory.
Mom, God and Apple Pie?
America…fuck yeah! Send it!
Graves started at Number One and never budged. Note the knob-end in the upper-left corner: "Roost my Banana?" WTF?
If you see Graves in the pub, beers are on him—he's holding a pocket full of twenties after winning all of his runs.
Lopes definitely does not like being Number Two.
Graves and Lopes, chomping at the bit like two thoroughbreds at the Kentucky Derby.
Twenty-one and built for fun—unless you're Number Two.
