New Noise Music Festival 2013
New Noise Music Fest 2013: He's My Brother, She's My Sister
Song Preservation Society, Strange Vine, Mystic Braves
SOhO Restaurant and Music Club
1221 State Street
Santa Barbara, CA, 93101
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
He's My Brother She's My Sister are crafting music that is multi-genre; part glam folk, garage country, cabaret blue and cirque rock. To say that they're energetic only scratches the surface of their live performances. They are truly a "harmonic convergence of melody" with brother/sister vocals, a tap dancing drummer, always moving bass lines and slide guitar woven throughout like lightening that joins the earth and the sky.
"What the Shins are to the movie Garden State, Song Preservation Society could be to a potential Golden State."
-Music Connection
Song Preservation Society started is Trevor Bahnson, Ethan Glazer and Daniel Wright. Their debut EP, Ready Room, was recorded in the fall of 2012 with guidance from the much-respected Nino Moschella, master of coaxing masterful production out of a modest multitrack. Ready Room is Song Preservation Society's from-the-heart music brought to full and beautiful life with brass and woodwinds and strings and even fuzz guitar. It's seven songs with a strange kind of purity that points to something timeless. In 1966, it could have fit between the Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel and Love; in 1976, it'd make people think of the last Big Star album; right now it shines through bands like Fleet Foxes and The Shins to be a ray of light all its own. When they started out, they might have picked that name just for fun. But on Ready Room, they've really made something worth preserving.
Strange Vine's earthy, energetic music is a fusion of blues, psychedelic, and traditional American rock. It's a sound born of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, from two men who were raised there. Ian Blesse plays drums and Rhodes piano (simultaneously), while Toby Cordova fleshes out the songs with a rotating arsenal of guitars (including one made from a cigar box). Both contribute vocals toward a rich, layered sound that's greater than the sum of its parts. In just a year's time, Strange Vine has already shared the stage with acts like The Black Keys, Cage The Elephant, Band Of Skulls, B.B. King, The Growlers, White Denim, Robin Trower, The Greenhornes, Pokey LaFarge and JEFF The Brotherhood.
Horizons, time. The sad truths of society's most accepted emotions. Dreams, insignificance. Events leading up to epiphanies, spells easily creating what should be. Stars sweeping across your soul with ideas of what the night will eventually hold, fears. The freedom of summertime, easy going lifestyles. Grooving beneath the everlasting moonlight glow. Frustration, beauty. Waiting, forever questioning. A desert tracking vacation spent hidden behind the shade of your own shadow, a psychedelic excursion we're all checking in to.
– Sincerely, California

Tourism/Operation Goût de France/Good France
Paris, January 21, 2015
THE MINISTER – Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm delighted to welcome you to a press briefing that isn't exactly the same as the ones traditionally held at the Foreign Ministry. Our meeting would, I believe, have the approval of two illustrious patrons: Brillat-Savarin, who said, "The destiny of nations depends on the manner in which they are fed", and the most famous chef of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Auguste Escoffier, who said, "The art of cuisine is perhaps one of the most useful forms of diplomacy."
A few months ago, our friends here – particularly Alain Ducasse but also Guy Savoy and all the chefs who are here – spoke to me about a project that struck me as tremendous. It involves organizing a French-style meal all over the world on the same day, 19 March. At the time it was a mere idea, but now it's a reality thanks to the talent of the people here.
Indeed, on 19 March, on every continent, there will be a French meal – Alain Ducasse will give you the details – which will provide an illustration of our gastronomy. You'll no doubt give the figures, Alain, but not only have more than 1,000 restaurants been selected, I've also taken the decision that ambassadors at 150 embassies will organize a French-style meal and invite a number of guests.
On the same evening, at the Château de Versailles, we'll be inviting all the foreign ambassadors in Paris, plus a number of personalities, to tell them simply and very modestly that French gastronomy is part of our identity, that it's one of the best and perhaps the best in the world, that we're proud of it and that it projects a positive image of France.
Alain Ducasse will tell you how the restaurants were selected, and I want to say I'm extremely happy about this initiative. My sincere thanks to the chefs – not only those on the jury but the French and foreign chefs all over the world, who will be such tremendous ambassadors for French gastronomy.
When you look at what makes up France's image and what's best about our country, gastronomy and oenology rank at the very top. People will say it's surprising that this event is taking place at the Foreign Ministry. Not at all, because I deal with our country's influence abroad, and not to include French gastronomy as a matter of the greatest importance would be to utterly fail to grasp what our influence means. In the past, very great chefs have contributed to the greatness of French gastronomy, and today the ones here are contributing to it, and I want to thank you very much. (…)
Furthermore, very soon, in the coming days, we're going to launch a global campaign on the theme "Creative France". I think gastronomy is part of that creativity, just like our talent in the fields of cinema, literature, technology and the economy. This French gastronomy really has to be acclaimed and tasted; that's what we're preparing. (…)
Q. – (…) At my press agency, we've often followed "the French touch" and the exporting of France's value [as a brand]. We haven't yet heard anything about gourmet chefs; is that in order not to compete, or is it accidental?
THE MINISTER – You've heard about French gastronomy, though – perhaps not officially, but ultimately, when the official and the spontaneous meet it's a very good thing. Yes, of course French gastronomy is part of the "French touch" and I think you must also have in mind the Anglo-Saxon aspect of Creative France. We've all said French cuisine is at the root of gastronomy in all its diversity, with a concern for quality – as Alain Ducasse has said –and for the environment and diversity. We're going to highlight all that, and what will be very interesting is that on the list of restaurants selected there are a lot of French chefs but also a lot of foreign chefs who serve French cuisine.
We've just taken a measure requested by chefs to facilitate procedures for young foreigners who want to come to France to learn about French cuisine. They will then be our best ambassadors, not only for cuisine, not only for wine, but for the French lifestyle and for France itself.
Q. – What were the criteria for selecting the restaurants around the world which are finalists? And can you give us some details of what you've just explained? What arrangements will there be for those young people who want to learn to cook in France?
ALAIN DUCASSE – We have an international committee of colleagues who validated the applications. I must say that the bulk of those who applied were genuinely interested in being ambassadors for French cuisine, because they always have been, whatever category they're in. We had very few negative comments about the candidates. The whole network is very mutually supportive. All over the planet, as Guy Savoy can confirm, we in the profession will always find colleagues determined to help us. It's pretty much a global network. Every colleague in the world I asked, to see whether they backed us in helping identify this global network, answered "yes".
The idea then was to make it easier for young foreigners wanting to learn about French cuisine in France to gain access to it, and here I must say that the countries of southern Europe – particularly Spain – and the Nordic countries have been providing access for a few years, with a lot of opportunities for young foreigners to go and learn about cuisine. It was much less easy in France. So I persuaded Laurent Fabius to help us facilitate those applications, with a covering letter and a fast-tracked job offer – and the Interior Minister supported us –, and I must admit that after a few months we're now in a position to invite them to France, and they'll also be paid. I stress this, because we'll definitely be one of the few countries to pay our interns, because it's right.
Then, after one year, they'll become ambassadors for French cuisine. I think we have the modest ambition to restore our influence thanks to this, with young and less young colleagues. They can, for example, be a sous-chef in a large hotel in Asia; they'll come and soak up our top-class expertise and then spread, share and pass it on in turn. That's our goal, and that's all in hand.
THE MINISTER – We're talking about what have been called culinary excellence visas. Our gourmet chef friends told me and Bernard Cazeneuve that there was a problem, because there was a lot of demand from foreigners who wanted to train in France but the administrative procedures were very complicated. So we've taken measures to ensure that, from January this year onwards, long-stay visas are granted for young and less young people who want to train with our great chefs in our starred restaurants. This reflects France's image, France's values, and it's also because we think they'll later be the best ambassadors. So it was about taking the administrative measures, and they've been taken. I think it's good work.
Q. – Regarding this Goût de France project, is it possible that the project might also revitalize tourism in France and, above all, create infrastructure outside Paris in particular? (…)
THE MINISTER – Operation Goût de France will be carried out on 19 March but, as you've sensed, it's part of a wider project, which is to develop French gastronomy and French tourism; there's a link between all these.
There's a huge amount to be done to develop tourism. We've already got an extremely powerful tourism industry, because it accounts for nearly two million jobs and we welcome the largest number of foreign tourists in the world. But we want to go further, we want to be even more effective, and that depends on a whole series of decisions that we're currently taking. (…)
I regularly convene the Tourism Promotion Council, which examines possible ways forward. I also announce to you that there will be a national tourism meeting – the National Tourism Conference – in October, just as there was last year, to take stock of things. (…)
Q. – Let me just mention the main areas:
There's the world of gastronomy and wine tourism – that is, ensuring that people who come to France for gastronomy or wine can spread out across the country and find hotels that will put them up.
If we want them to come to France, there must be airports to welcome them, and those must have good transport links.
Hotels must also be high-quality, and the necessary investments in hotels must be made. If we want them to get a good welcome, there must be training for young people and less young people. (…)
It's estimated that a third of tourists who come to France – there are 84 million foreign tourists and I've set a target of 100 million people – do so first of all for gastronomy and wine. The figure may be higher, but in the spontaneous answers they provide when there are opinion polls, that's what they say. So it's a tremendous asset which we fully intend to develop.
Q. – Looking at the map, I get the impression that most applications were made on the African continent. Is this right?
THE MINISTER – I don't have the exact figure but it would appear that 24 restaurants in Africa are registered. We have the following data for other places: European Union (322), Japan (62), Brazil (54), India (49), the United States (46) and China (34). (…)
Q. – How did the project come about? Were you approached by a group of chefs? What road map did the candidates have? I imagine they had to follow a few criteria?
M. DUCASSE – The main criterion is a French-style menu with dishes and wines in harmony with each other. I'd say that today's chefs must be committed to seeing what they can find locally, that expertise in French cuisine begins with knowledge. (…)
I think we've got to get past the debate about who is and isn't the best. Everyone needs to take responsibility for sharing with the largest number of people – irrespective of religion or skin colour; people need to sit down to a meal. (…)
THE MINISTER – It's the first [Goût de France/Good France], and "first" suggests that there will be others. (…)
It must also be said that this isn't the only initiative: the dinner at the Château de Versailles is very important because you'll have the eyes of the world focused on that event, given that we've invited all the world's ambassadors at post in Paris, along with a number of personalities. The meal will obviously be prepared by great chefs and we'll be showing off Versailles in all its splendour, thanks to the kindness of Mme Catherine Pégard. There will be other events, because I really want, along with our friends, to restore French cuisine to its rightful place – i.e. as a part of civilization, society and sociability. (…)./.

Will We Ever See Street Fighter On Xbox Again?
It's become abundantly clear that Street Fighter V will remain a PS4 console exclusive indefinitely. Sony funded the development of the game to be a 'platform', with which all updates will be pushed to the singular copy of SFV, meaning there will be no new editions or expansions. However, 'console exclusive' means just that: a PC a version is available, therefore only the Xbox One goes without SFV at all. Anyone who may have hopes of this changing will be disappointed.
This has raised a more curious question, and one which most people seem to have overlooked: what becomes of Street Fighter on the Xbox altogether? As it stands, there is currently no available or planned Street Fighter game on the Xbox One. Specifically, not a single SF game is on the backwards compatible list, and there is no formal announcement of any SF game coming in the future, either as a remade port or new entry. Worrying.
In the first place, it isn't like Capcom has anything against Xbox One, or Xbox as a whole. Dead Rising 3 was a launch title exclusive for the console, and several HD remakes have popped up such as Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition and Resident Evil Origins Collection. Capcom supported the Xbox 360 quite a bit with hidden gems such as Lost Planet, and surprised many by making the original Devil May Cry 4 available for Xbox 360, when it was initially a PS3 exclusive. Let's not forget that the Street Fighter IV series had strong popularity on the 360, and was the main go-to console for tournaments and casual play alike. It's with all this in mind that it makes the current state of things all the more confusing.
The usual argument presented against Xbox One these days is the 'sales numbers'. People claim that the stronger sales on PS4 explains the overwhelming game developer support for the console, at the exclusion of the Xbox One. This makes sense to some degree, however the sales numbers aren't so phenomenally different that it justifies all the third party exclusivity.
I am a firm believer that this practise hurts gamers, and locks them out of experiences for arbitrary reasons. I was firmly against the Rise of the Tomb Raider Xbox One timed exclusivity, as I know all too well how this isn't fair when you're on the other side. I spent years salty over not being able to play BlazBlue Chronophantasma on Xbox 360 (since it was a PS3 exclusive, despite previous titles being multiplatform), so I was glad to finally get the Extend version on Xbox One. Suffice to say, arguments about sales figures aren't so damning that it legitimizes preventing people from having big third party games.
So where does that put us now? If you're a Street Fighter fan, especially one who purchased their games on the 360, and never assumed that the Xbox One would be locked out of the series, you're in a tight spot. The obvious choice for backwards compatibility would be the latest SF game: Ultra Street Fighter IV, however it is currently only on PS4 as a port. Sony's partnership with Capcom may have something to do with this, but does it suggest that this restricted a Xbox One port and/or a backwards compatible transfer?
There are plenty of other SF games on the 360 such as Third Strike Online Edition, Street Fighter II HD Remix and others, but none of these seem to be coming to Xbox One in any form whatsoever. And it isn't like the Xbox One is without fighting games at all; with the exception of Guilty Gear Xrd and Street Fighter V, all new major fighting games are on the console, and Skullgirls was recently made backwards compatible from its Xbox 360 version. The communities for Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat X, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, and BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend are all going strong on the Xbox. The only thing missing is, you guessed it, Street Fighter.
It may very well be that Xbox players will have to accept that the Sony partnership with Capcom for SF will be a restriction for a long time. SFV recently launched, so it would be premature to discuss any future games to come to multiplatform just yet. It's important to note that the Street Fighter series isn't exactly loyal to one platform alone, and has been console exclusive to different ones throughout the years. It's just a shame that currently the Xbox One might not be seeing the series for a very long time, if ever at this point.

his songs that i recommend? Strong, She's the One, No Regrets, and Candy, just to name a few. but this guy's got loads of amazing songs. my favorite song, of course, is the world-famous Feel.
have a good time listening! oh, and while you're at it, you might wanna check out 90s artists such as The Corrs, Sixpence None the Richer, Natalie Imbruglia, Dido, etc.

I am sure you have heard of "Operation Mincemeat", the ingenious plan to land a dead man on a Spanish beach - to fool the Nazis and send their jack-booted, Panzer-clad, stiff-armed, blond-haired boys up the wrong alley.
Allow me to let you into a secret. I was the rehearsal, some months before hostilities began; before the unpleasantness, so to speak. I was the practice run; the "upper-class twit" sent on a wild goose chase, scattering fair Albion's imminent enemies hither and thither. And, if I were to die in the process, so be it. So long as the suitcase full of faux documents survived, I, Pelham Hardiman was of no consequence. But, my friend, I can tell you their greatest error, their erreur greates, they forgot they were dealing with an Englishman, and a Hardimann at that. And let us not forget the femme fatale.

Disappointing production
This seems like a good book spoiled by budget production. The story is read by the author, who does a fairly decent job of it, is good at accents etc. but, in the end, is not a professional actor and after a while the narration begins to grate. At some points it is possible to hear traffic in the background, as if it has been recorded at the author's flat. It made me wonder at Audible's quality control - when I go to a book shop I don't expect to pay full price for home-made manuscripts, so why should I be sold them here?
- Gareth
Before the unpleasantness
The audio narration is excellent. Characters are all in recognisable, clear voices. Superb quality!
I have read the book in kindle form and enjoyed it immensely. I wanted the audio version so I could listen to it in the car during a long journey down to Devon. I think both the book and the audio are as good as each other. Although the audio has brought the characters to life in a way a book can only achieve to a certain extent.
Jeeves and Wooster type of characters and witty lines all the way through.
Very good and professional standard of narration
Pelham Hardimann is 'Jeeves fallen on hard times' type main character who is so witty and you can't help rooting for him during his almost impossible mission to retrieve the suitcase.
Excellent story. Packed with action and as funny as it gets! Highly recommend this author!

Felicia's Journey Trailer (1999)
24 November 1999 Drama 116 mins
A solitary middle-aged bachelor and a naive Irish teenager transform one another's lives to arrive at a place of recognition, redemption and wisdom in Atom Egoyan's adaptation of William Trevor's celebrated 1994 novel. Seventeen and pregnant, Felicia travels to England in search of her lover and is found instead by Joseph Ambrose Hilditch, a helpful catering manager whose kindness masks a serial killer. Hilditch has murdered several young women, but he has no conscious awareness of the crimes; like Felicia, he doesn't see his true self. Felicia's Journey is a story of innocence lost and regained: Felicia awakens to the world's dangers and duplicities; and Hilditch, who grew up lonely and unloved, comes to realize what was taken from him, and what he himself has taken.

2009 NPC Oregon State Contest Prep
Part 4: Six Weeks Out
As dieting and training goes on towards the last few weeks of my contest prep, the functionality of my brain decreases. Being so carb depleted, it's amazing that I can even get myself dressed in the morning, let alone drive anywhere and make it alive.
I am now in Hawaii taking a little escape from regular life to get dialed in for my show. I will be taking lots of pictures down here and attending the Hawaii MMA and Fitness Expo.
Click Image To Enlarge.
I Am Now In Hawaii Taking A Little Escape
From Regular Life To Get Dialed In For My Show.
I thought that would be something fun to check out. There are tons of competitors getting ready to compete this weekend at the Mililani 24 Hour Fitness where I've been spending much of my day.
My coach has put me on an entirely fish and egg diet. Hawaii is an island, we all know that, so it only makes sense that they should have a lot of fish here right? Well, to my surprise, finding fish on menus around this place has been surprisingly difficult.
I did stop by the grocery store a few times to pick up some frozen halibut to microwave at the place I'm staying. It makes the whole room smell like fish, but hey, it's what we do right? I have an empty Xtend container that I filled with oatmeal before I left home. That, and my massive collection of supplements took up lots of space on my carry on.
Luckily they have sweet potatoes here for my second carb meal of the day. The only set backs I have had for diet was when I went to the beach, and forgot my lunch box. That sucked. I started feeling all tired, then I realized that should have eaten something.
My friend Kathy, who's island hopping with me, brought along some almonds so that saved my life. It's really easy to down two gallons of water here. Since it's so dang hot outside I'm constantly finishing up my first gallon before noon.
Bad news though... I left a gallon with some Xtend in it in my rental car. The heat made it explode so now the car smells funny and there's an interesting white film on the passenger side floor mat. I'll rinse that out later today.
Just a reminder, if you live anywhere hot, use the screw cap gallons instead of the pop off ones. Yep... should have seen it coming.
I still eat every two hours. I do my cardio in the morning before eating and then feast when I get back from the gym. I'm getting down at least seven meals a day, some days eight depending on how late I stay up. So the diet is good.
I try to tan in the sun. With the help of some tanning oil I've been able to change colors to a few shades darker than day glow white. So far every other day I've been able to spend a couple hours in the sun. It's very nice!
The only problem is tan lines. Those are pesky. I have a few different bikinis to switch out so that I don't get the same tan lines. Hopefully that will work. If not, I'll have to rely on paint. But the sun is nice, it makes me feel alive!
I have made it to the gym twice a day every day that I have been here except one (it was a bachelorette party and I thought we'd go out dancing, but we didn't, so I went to sleep instead).
I get my HIIT session in before breakfast and then an hour of moderate intensity cardio in the afternoon. I have a new found appreciation for new Latin dance music. It makes doing cardio more fun when you can't help but move to the music.
I'm continuing with my higher rep scheme, but also going heavier. I'm seeing if I can beat out the depleted weakness that I feel from the diet with some hard rock and adrenaline to go heavier. It seems to be working! I've been able to actually increase the weight that I'm able to lift at higher reps. For that, I'm happy.
I still get my post-workout shake (40 grams of protein and 40 grams of carbs). On leg day I refuse to use stairs of any kind. It makes walking up to the place I'm staying at a bit of a challenge, but I laugh the entire way. I'm sore everywhere but I like it!
I don't have a workout partner here so keeping myself motivated consists of telling myself, "Just go do it, I don't care if they're looking at you, you've got work to do." Oh yeah, by the way, people here in Hawaii stare.
More so than people on the mainland. I know they've seen women lift as hard as I do because I met a few competitors in the gym. What the heck guys, come on!
Whew. Well, I've got to get my hiney back into the gym! Here's a few tips from my travels thus far. I'll keep you posted with new photos and updates! Best of luck to everyone out there!
- Pack all your supps up before you go.
- Use screw caps on gallons and not pop tops if you live in hot places.
- Don't let people staring at you in the gym throw your concentration off. Just do what you have to do. It doesn't matter what they think as long as you're getting your work done.
- Using parchment paper on a Foreman Grill saves on cleanup time. (Thanks Laiku for this one!)
- Green beans mix well with just about everything.
- The hard ice packs stay colder longer than the squishy ones.
- If you're tanning, use a few different bikinis so you don't get one solid set of tan lines.
Contest Update: Tiffany did not compete due to personal reasons. Check her blog for updates.

Claude Monet once said his garden was his "most beautiful masterpiece." For him, and for his fellow Impressionists who delighted in painting en plein air, the garden was the most immediately accessible and perfect representation of a movement that got artists out of the studio and into the fresh air and natural light of the outdoors. Inspired by nature, the Impressionists reimagined art and captured the feeling of being in a scene rather than merely viewing details of objects within scenes. As Renoir explained, "I like a painting which makes me want to stroll in it."
Twenty-first century science confirms what the Impressionists knew: the senses respond to fresh air and sunlight with a burst of well-being and creativity. Studies show that being outdoors and experiencing nature increases creativity, improves mental and physical health, and helps reduce stress. Small wonder, then, that even in a crowded metropolis, the most luxurious homes often feature balconies, terraces, rooftop gardens, or walled courtyards. Country estates with expansive grounds accommodate the need to be in nature on a grand scale. A beautiful garden provides ample room for rejuvenation, creativity, and simple relaxation.
Below, Luxury Defined presents a look at half a dozen estates with gardens worthy of an Impressionist landscape: outdoor spaces that celebrate light, color, and the open air.
Delightful Dutch Domain
Aerdenhout, The Netherlands Located just south of Haarlem and off the North Sea coast, this attractive Dutch country house has a setting that resembles an early van Gogh landscape with its woods dappled in sunlight. Smooth lawns are edged by immaculately trimmed hedges and shaded by mature trees, allowing the play of sun and shade to present an animated natural tableau. Quiet woodchip pathways lead through the grounds to an ivy-covered hunting lodge that offers private guest accommodations. The main house is surrounded by ground-level terraces and features second-story decks and bay windows from which to enjoy the verdant and serene setting.
Elegant Irish Estate
Cork, Ireland Bursts of floral color give this bucolic Irish estate the palette of a Monet landscape. Green lawns, mature trees, fountains, and a trout-filled private lake with a quiet dock surround this elegant Georgian manor. Overlooking the sea off the south coast of Ireland, this 20-acre estate includes four bedrooms in the main house, three within the converted and adjacent coach yard wing, a self-contained unit within the coach house, and a private four-bedroom lodge with its own gardens and lawns. Brightly blooming gardens complement views of the surrounding hills and the light off the bay. To the side of the coach house sits a stone-walled garden with an ancient orchard, and a private walkway borders the estate's boundary.
Vineyard Villa
Val di Pesa, Italy This expansive Tuscan vineyard estate was once the private home of Dutch painter and artist Karel Appel—whose sculpture "The Horse" still ornaments the estate's lavender garden, a haven of Impressionist color and fragrance. Dating from the 13th century, the villa has a noble history as a former convent and agricultural estate. It offers a seemingly endless variety of scenes along the paths of gravel and patterned stone that wind through immaculate gardens scented with cypress and citrus trees. Ten acres of vineyards, olive groves, formal gardens, water features adorned with waterlilies, and tree-lined walkways surround this beautiful and historic Mediterranean jewel in the heart of the Tuscan countryside.
Enchanting Château
Midi-Pyrenees, France Set on the side of a small hill, this 17th-century château in the south of France presents panoramic views of the River Séoune Valley from its wall-lined terrace and central balcony. A charming central courtyard with ivy-lined paths sits at the center of the main building and its two adjoining wings. Roses and wisteria adorn the surrounding gardens, which feature tree- and hedge-lined lawns, shaded stone terraces, and a swimming pool. More than 60 wooded acres retain this Ancien Régime castle's privacy and evoke a romantic and manorial past.
Regal Riverside Residence
Locust, New Jersey Set high on a bluff above the Navesink River, this palatial New Jersey mansion features stately terraces that provide commanding views. A large saltwater pool has a stone patio, and terraced gardens lead down to a sweeping lawn. Paved paths join a tree-lined wooden stair that descends the rose-laden riverside to a private boat dock. Crepe myrtle, magnolia, and cherry trees bloom against a densely wooded backdrop, and the grounds offer multiple observation vistas from which to enjoy the mesmerizing views.
Villa with a View
Montecito, California Set into the hillside above the central California coastline, this 12-acre villa above beautiful The estate is one of the area's original "Hilltop Barons." Dating from circa 1916 and magnificently restored, this handsome California home offers sunlit patios bordered by olive trees, gravel walkways through romantic terraced rose gardens, a curved reflecting pool surrounded by lush manicured lawns, a private palm-lined courtyard, and seemingly infinite vistas of the ever-changing Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez mountains.


text: Here is a question for all of you that are reading this. Do you log the mileage on your vehicle monthly or just yearly. With that said do you take your gas receipts for the truck(s) vs the mileage deduction? The last couple of years and this year too it looks like taking the deduction given for mileage is going to be better for me than actual gas receipts for gas used in the truck. But I have a question concerning mileage this year and wanted to see what and how you guys were approaching it, if you know yet.

First of all, apologies to those of you who read this article title as Devil May Cry. Unfortunately, that video game adaptation is still a while off. We do, however, have the first look at the poster for Devil May Call. It might not be as cool as Dante's adventures, but there might be something to it. Check it out below:
(via Joblo)
Want a synopsis for the movie? Well, here you go:
Samantha (Corri English) works at a crisis hot-line where she listens to strangers and helps them deal with their pain. It's a pain she knows well since the hot-line saved her life once when she lost her sight and didn't know how to live in a world of darkness. On her last night on the job, Sam receives a terrifying visit from one of her regular callers, John (Tyler Mane) who feels betrayed that she's leaving him. This man is no ordinary caller. He's a sadistic serial killer she's unknowingly been keeping from killing himself for over a year.
Does the poster pique your interest, or leave you cold? Let us know in the comment section below.

Recipe: Steamed Clams and Chorizo
Steamed Clams & Chorizo
This gorgeous Mediterranean dish can be ready to eat in less than 30 minutes but looks and tastes like you've spent hours on it. It can be served as it is with nothing more than good crusty bread for dunking into the wonderfully fragrant broth or served in large bowls over angel hair pasta. A green salad completes the meal.
To serve 4:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 lb chorizo, sliced
1 cup thinly sliced fennel (bulb part only)
½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika (sweet or hot)
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup clam juice or chicken broth
3 dozen little neck clams, scrubbed
1 cup Italian parsley, roughly chopped
juice of ½ lemon
thinly sliced small Serrano pepper for garnish
In a large Dutch oven heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté till translucent. Add the chorizo, fennel, black pepper and paprika and sauté for 4-5 minutes till the sausage is cooked through.
Turn the heat up to medium high and add the wine and clam broth. Bring to a rolling boil and add the clams all at once. Quickly give them a stir and cover with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes or until the clams have opened (discard any that may not have opened).
Toss in the parsley, squeeze the lemon over the clams and give everything a stir. Ladle into large individual bowls and serve with crusty bread for soaking up the delicious broth or over angel hair pasta. Garnish with the thinly sliced hot peppers or additional fresh parley if desired.
This smells unbelievably good as the clams are steaming!

001. Kenny Goldberg of kpbs.org reports in "California Bill Would Let Naturopathic Doctors Do More" (2015-06-05):
"with California facing a shortage of primary care physicians, the state Senate has passed a measure aimed at filling the gap with naturopathic doctors. Naturopaths believe in self-healing and the use of natural therapies. Senate Bill 538 would allow naturopathic doctors to prescribe certain prescription drugs and perform minor outpatient surgeries, too. Sherry Franklin, a San Diego pediatric endocrinologist, thinks that's a bad idea. She believes naturopathic doctors have no business prescribing potentially dangerous medications. 'Nor should they be practicing minor surgical procedures, without having had the training and the experience through a residency to prove that they're competent to do so,' Franklin said. The California Naturopathic Doctors Association says its members are trained at accredited four-year post-graduate programs. Supporters of the senate bill say naturopaths are trained to serve as primary care doctors, and have more than 1500 hours of clinical rotations as part of their education.The California Medical Association and Kaiser Permanente are among the groups that oppose the bill."
a shallow article, full of false balance.

Weirdly, they didn't give me my normal teaching slot (the 'early' one, 10-N), putting me in with the 2-4 krew. No worries, there. Also, Tuesday-Thursday, so we get Tgiving off, which is nice.
So, I signed my halftime offer letter, which is being altered as we speak because it violates the union contract. Plus much chicken being played. I keep wondering if they expect me to work 60-70 hours a week at halftime. Hrm.
Back to reading MSDSs. Methanol's is terrifying.

"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it." – Bruce Lee
I've been doing a lot of reflection lately, about all aspects of my life.
One area I've been thinking about is this blog. I feel like I'm quite closed and professional and I'd like to inject more of my personality.
For a long time, having the title Career and Life Coach has felt like a huge responsibility; as though I should have all the answers and always provide solutions for potential challenges you may be facing in life.
The thing is, I don't have all answers. In fact, I'm not actually sure if I have any.
I do however, have my own personal life experiences, lessons I've learned and strategies that I use that sometimes work, and sometimes don't.
So I thought it would be nice to share some random things about me that you may not know, which will hopefully give you a bit more insight into me and make me feel more like a real person, rather than a stranger hidden behind words and a laptop screen.
1. I hated university
I spent 3 years at university and have a degree in computing but I hated pretty much the entire experience.
I stayed at home and for the first 18 months I only attended the minimum number of classes that was required to pass the course.
Ironically, (considering what I do now) I had poor careers advice and was studying the wrong course.
I'm not a fan of Maths and I had never done computing before. I'm an arts and humanities person and should have/ wish I'd picked a course I would have enjoyed.
2. I feel shy and awkward around people I don't know very well
One of the reasons I hated university.
I found it incredibly challenging to build relationships with new people.
I'm much better at this now, although deep down I still feel nervous and self-conscious when meeting people I don't know.
From the outside looking in, you'd have no idea as I have a very bubbly social personality. But really I'm like a duck, socialising and looking comfortable on the surface, but underneath I feel stressed and can't wait to retreat to a more familiar and comfortable environment.
3. I'm an Arsenal fan
I spent 7 seasons as a matchday steward at the Emirates stadium for home games so I could watch the matches for free.
It did come at a cost during the winter however – 6 hours of standing in British weather conditions!
It was worth it though. I have great memories and made lots of great friends.
4. I hate wet leaves
Random I know. I have no idea why. They make me feel uneasy.
There's no rational reason like I had a negative experience as a child. I just find them unsettling and ewwy.
So I literally dread wet autumn days. Weirdly I quite like crunchy leaves, sometimes… I think it's a lot to do with the texture.
5. I love colouring-in
Yes, I mean like what little kids do.
I own a couple of colouring books and for my most recent birthday, a friend bought me an adult colouring book. Exciting!
I like art but because I can be such a perfectionist, drawing can feel like torture at times.
Colouring-in however allows me to be creative without the pressure to be perfect.
I find it extremely therapeutic and often take my colouring books with me on holiday.
I used to be self-conscious about it, but now that bookshops have entire displays of adult colouring books, I'm not bothered as it's clearly becoming more popular. Particularly as it's being promoted as a tool to aid mindfulness.
6. I feel like a traitor for buying and loving my Kindle
I love books, I always have and for years I was against Kindles.
I thought they were the ultimate betrayal of physical books, I kinda still do… but in December I caved in a bought a Kindle.
On top of that, I convinced my friend and cousin to get one and they also love theirs. Oh the shame…
I've always been a multiple book reader; what I read depends on my mood. I like that a Kindle allows me to do that easily without having to carry multiple books around with me.
I also liked that I can highlight lines from a book and share them directly on social media (although I've not yet done this), as well as having access to what I've highlighted online which is useful when writing blog posts.
Despite the love I have for my Kindle, I'll never turn my back on physical books.
Libraries and bookshops are some of my favourite places to be and I still buy at least one physical book a month.
7. I'm an ISFJ
I only found this out recently.
Well actually, that's not strictly true.
I recently took a personality assessment test and the result was that I'm an ISFJ.
As I began to read the summary of what it is to be an ISFJ, it was as though someone finally got me. I made sense to me.
I'd done a similar personality assessment about 8 years ago and interestingly, I came out as a ESFJ. So it seems I've gone from being extrovert to introvert.
I've never felt I quite belonged to either camp so reading that an ISFJ is uncharacteristically social for an introvert finally made sense.
Despite being a life coach, I've always been skeptical of personality assessments but this was just too accurate and made a lot of areas of my life that had caused me conflict for years, finally make sense.
Now, going forward, if anyone questions my personality traits, I'll simply forward my personality assessment results onto them.
8. Scented candles are my guilty pleasure
I love scented candles and always have one burning at home.
When I burn a candle and the scent fills my flat, it fills me with a ridiculous amount of joy. Oh the simple pleasures in life.
So I get extremely annoyed when I buy a candle that is supposedly scented yet I smell nothing when it's burning.
A few years ago, I attended a candle making workshop which was great fun and I even made some to give away as Christmas gifts.
I haven't made any recently as I haven't found the time but I have a crate load of empty candle jars just waiting to be filled with wicks and wax.
9. I hate wearing heels
I like to be comfortable and I've never worn a comfortable pair of heels yet.
As I'm only 5ft, I will wear them for special occasions other than that, you'll find me in flats, specifically trainers whenever possible.
As I look much younger than I am, I've spent years trying to get comfortable wearing heels in a bid to look a few years older.
I've finally accepted, heels are not something I'd ever choose to wear, and I'm OK with that. I don't subscribe to the "beauty is pain" ethos.
10. I'd rather buy stationary (or candles) than shoes or bags
It's a common stereotype that women spend all their money, and money they don't have on shoes and bags.
I prefer to buy a beautiful notebook.
There's something special about opening a new notebook and putting ink on that first fresh page.
Paperchase is one of my favourite shops and when they have a sale, I'm like a kid in a candy shop.
There you have it, 10 random things you didn't know about me.
Sharing is Caring
Do we have anything in common?
Do you have any guilty pleasures that you're not too embarrassed to share?
Oh, and if you want to do the personality test, head over to www.16personalities.com. It's free and doesn't take that long to do. Let me know what you come out as.

The construction of the Engineering building on the Manila Campus was begun before the end of school year 1956–1957, and was completed the eleventh Foundation Anniversary and was completed late in 1957. The College opened its doors to students in SY 1957-58, with initial offering of the common first year, the second, third, fourth and fifth years of the electrical and mechanical engineering courses were offered. In SY 1959-60, however, a new course was added: the four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics. In 1962, the college opened a new five-year course leading to thedegree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering.
Prof. Mariano Hidalgo was the first Dean of the College of Engineering, and was succeeded by Prof. Crisostomo Alma Jose. When Dean Alma Jose retired, Dean Florencio Moreno of the DPWH took over Prof. Oscar C. Limlingan succeeded Dean Moreno.
When Dean Limlingan was appointed VPAA and Chancellor of the Caloocan Campus, Prof. Pacifico T. Santos became Dean. Succeeding Dean Santos was Dr. Genaro T. Marzan, the fifth Engineering dean who also the President of PATE. Following Dean Marzan's retirement in June 2003 was the appointment of Dr. Ernesto C. De Castro, who was also the President of the Confederation of Filipino Consultants and a Board Member of the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board. He was later replaced by former CCSS Dean, Engr. Constantino T. Yap on 2006.
At present, the college is under the deanship of Engr Dominador S. Pagbilao.
The College of Engineering affirms its role to develop globally competent and professional engineers imbued with proper values, committed to serve the industry and society and contribute to national development.
The College of Engineering is envisioned to be the "National College of Choice" with the highest quality of academic programs equipped with modern and latest technology for research, computational methods, and experimentation.
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE)
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCpE)
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE)
Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering (BSECE)

semen fertility assessment:
important problem in human / veterinary medicine
medical diagnosis: - sophisticated techniques, e.g. staining methods
- high accurracy determination of fertility
evaluation of sample quality for animal breeding purposes
- fast and cheap method of inspection
- microscopic images of boar sperm heads (Leon/Spain)
e.g. quality inspection after freezing and storage
- distance-based classification, parameterized by prototypes
- Learning Vector Quantization + Relevance Learning
- isolate and align head images
- normalize with respect to mean grey
level and corresponding variance
- resize and approximate by an
ellipsoidal region of 19x35 pixels
microscopic images of boar sperms
normal (650)
non-normal (710)
application of Learning Vector Quantization:
- prototypes determined from example data
- parameterize a distance based classification
- plausible, straightforward to interpret/discuss with experts
- include adaptive metrics in relevance learning
for different classes
example: basic scheme LVQ1 [Kohonen]
• present a single example
• identify the closest prototype,
i.ethe so-calledwinner
assignment of a vector
to the class of the closest
prototype w
• move the winner
-closertowards the data (same class)
-away from the data (different class)
Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ)
aim: generalization ability
classificationof novel data
after learning from examples
Learning algorithms
Euclidean distance between data ξprototype w:
given ξ, update only the winner:
(sign acc. to class membership)
prototype initialization: class-conditional means + random displacement
(∼70% correct classification)
cross-validation scheme
evaluation of performance
- with respect to the training data, e.g. 90% of all data
- with respect to test data 10% of all data
average outcome over 10 realizations
performance on training data
… improves with increasing
number of (non-normal)
… depends only weakly on the
considered number of
ten-fold cross-validation:
comparison of different LVQ systems (# of prototypes)
to an instantaneous cost function f(z)
Generalized Learning Vector Quantization (GLVQ)
[A.S. Sato and K. Yamada, NIPS 7, 1995)]
given a single example, update the two winning prototypes :
wJ from the same class as the example (correct winner)
wK from the other class (wrong winner)
- perform gradient steps w.r.t. prototypes wJ , wK and vectorλ
Generalized Relevance LVQ (GRLVQ)
[B. Hammer, T. Villmann, Neural Networks 15: 1059-1068]

To Betty Widgeon from North Augusta, S.C., who was upset about the cat getting caught and killed (" 'I'm sorry' won't cut it over cat," Nov. 12): The reason people don't like cats running around free is that cats end up urinating and defecating in homeowners' yards, usually right beneath windows so that those who live there get to smell that particularly nasty odor.
Also, the fact remains that, if you have a cat, and if you want to let it out, you need to leash it . It's a law. The other thing is, cats run around willy-nilly and breed like -- well, like cats! Then we end up with a stray population of kitties that have no home and run around scrounging for food, spreading diseases and relieving themselves all over our yards.
So, if Ms. Widgeon wants to be mad at anyone about Daisy, she should be mad at Daisy's owners for letting the animal out unattended in the first place.

Talk:Yick Wo v. Hopkins
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
I don't think that's a dick. I heard a professor say that YICK WO is the name of the laundry, which is owned/operated by partners Lee Yick and Wo Lee; somehow the error made it into the court record. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 06:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
If you click of the findlaw link at the bottom of the article and have a quick look at the first few paragraphs you'll see that Yick Wo and Wo Lee were two different laundry operators. At least that's my reading of it. Their cases were considered together by the Supreme Court of the US (but not the Supreme Court of California, which considered Yick Wo's writ for Habeas Corpus but not Wo Lee's, which was heard in the Federal Circuit Court) because they were so similar. Liam O —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 18:05, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
I made a slight alteration to the "Opinion of the Court" section which, I thought, wrongly implied that the Court ruled the itself to be lawful but then went on to find the operation of the ordinance unlawful. My reading of the case is that this was not the case. The Court opined that, and this is a direct quote, "In the present cases, we are not obliged to reason from the probable to the actual, and pass upon the validity of the ordinances complained of... Though [a] law itself be fair on its face, and impartial in appearance... if it is applied and administered by public authority with an evil eye and an unequal hand, so as practically to make unjust and illegal discriminations between persons in similar circumstances, material to their rights, the denial of equal justice is still within the prohibition of the constitution." That's a direct quote from page 374 of the judgment. - Liam O —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 18:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC) hello there i hate you
Missing section?[edit]
Did this case go directly to the US Supreme Court? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dngrogan (talk • contribs) 10:59, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
The article says that "Yick Wo" was the name of the laundry owned by Sang Lee, but then later goes on to use the name Yick Wo as if it belonged to a person. So, which is it? Tad Lincoln (talk) 06:57, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Typo or Accurate?[edit]
"Californians were weary of the cultural and ethnic differences."
Should that be weary or wary?
