Have you ever been so bored that you don't even know what to do next? Do you have an interest in digital arts? Well, the solution is simple, really. Join a Hofstra youth class. It's fun and educational. I have done it plenty of times.
I took a video game-making class twice with the Game Builders Academy. You have the opportunity to design your very own video games. There are different levels to this course. In the introductory level course, you will learn the basics of video game development and you will get to design and program an action-packed game. You could also make your character collect gold coins, jump to different levels and design your own scenes. It is a great opportunity to let your creativity fly.
Also, if you have an interest in computer programming, you could take Raspberry Pi classes. In this class you learn a great computer programming language using the Raspberry Pi computer. Learn to use raw input, and you can even make the computer say things like, "You stink!" If you do decide to take this class, just be sure to bring a notebook and pen, because there will be a lot to write about.
All in all, Hofstra University offers a variety of different classes for all ages K-12 with so many different subjects and classes.

By: Frank – @dugup46 – Status matching is a pretty deal in the travel hobby in general; however, it's exceptionally nice when you are talking about award travel. Hotels not only treat their loyal customers better, but you can receive all kind of great benefits ranging from upgraded rooms to free breakfast! Occasionally, different chains will offer status upgrades at the same time of the year. Using a little wit, you can piggy back offers together and gain top status at a number of chains with no stays at any hotel's property! In this article, I will explain how, with very little effort, you can upgrade yourself from Hilton Gold to Hilton Diamond without staying a single night in a Hilton!
Obtaining Hilton Gold
The first step in obtaining Hilton Diamond is obtaining Hilton Gold. This can be done a number of ways, but the easiest way is through the American Express Platinum charge card (bonus offers range from 40k to 100k points). The Platinum offers free Hilton Gold status just for being a card holder as well as a number of other benefits ($200 airline reimbursement, SPG Gold, Global Entry reimbursement – just to name a few!). Other cards that offer Hilton Gold include the Amex Hilton Honors Surpass Card and the Citi Hilton Honors Reserve Card.
If you like doing things the hard way, you can also stay at Hilton properties for 20 stays a year (or 40 total nights). With Hilton Gold you get a free breakfast at some Hilton properties, your 5th night free, space available upgrades, late check out, 25% HHonors point bonus, and a number of other benefits.
The Hilton Gold to Hilton Diamond Loophole
The loophole is simple! Best Western will match any hotel loyalty program to their top tier to Best Western Diamond. And even though it is only a match, you will become a Best Western Diamond member
for LIFE! (EDIT: Thanks to those commenting for correcting this. The loophole still works, but it appears that the BW match is not for life) After you match to Best Western Diamond, you can email Hilton and status match using your Best Western Diamond and they will upgrade you to Hilton Diamond through March of 2018! I'll give you the step by step right after I explain some of the benefits of Hilton Diamond status.
Benefits of Hilton Diamond
You can view all the Hilton Diamond member benefits by clicking this link. On the surface, you only get all the same benefits of Hilton Gold with an increased HHonors bonus: you receive 25% bonus for being a gold member and a 50% increase for being a Diamond member. However, people who frequent hotels know that the difference between Diamond and Gold can be quite large! Note that with Hilton Gold (and Hilton Diamond) upgrades are given at the hotel's discretion based on availability. Diamond members get preferred treatment over a gold member. If there is an upgraded room available, you will certainly have a better shot at scoring the upgrade as a diamond member than you would a gold member. Better service, guaranteed lounge access, and a better chance at an upgraded room are the main reasons why you'll want to upgrade!
Jesse's Note: Diamond status scored us an incredible penthouse upgrade in Dubai and free parking/breakfast at the Waldorf in Maui!
Step by Step Hilton Gold to Hilton Diamond
- Take a screenshot of your Hilton Gold membership page or just take a picture of your Hilton Gold membership card. Make sure that it shows your status!
- Send an email to Best Western's status match department at firstname.lastname@example.com. You'll want to quickly explain that you are a Hilton Gold member and would like to be matched to Best Western Diamond. Make sure you attach your picture or screenshot!
- Hilton requires proof of a stay at your other hotel's chain. So you can either book 1 night at a Best Western and stay there or book a refundable room and screenshot the receipt. Make sure you have have proof of your Best Western Diamond loyalty and your receipt read and head over and submit it to https://hiltonhhonors.hiltonapps.com/
- You should receive an email an email back confirming you are a Hilton Diamond member in about a week! You can enjoy Hilton Diamond through March of 2018!

Complete Frank Miller Movie Adaptation Round Up
by Alex Billington
February 19, 2007
The legendary comic book writer Frank Miller has got a lot going on in Hollywood at the moment. In addition to the feature film based on his Spartan epic graphic novel 300 opening in just a few weeks, he's previously had the immensely successful Sin City and a possible Sin City 2 in the works, and most recently announced is an adaptation of his graphic novel Ronin. Beyond being one of the most successful comic book writers, he's become a well known celebrity in Hollywood as well.
FS.net now presents the current complete Frank Miller movie adaptation round up with the latest details on all of his graphic novels currently in production and coming soon. It will be updated with any news and announcements as they arrive. Please to keep track of updates.
The comic loosely depicts the Battle of Thermopylae at the Hot Gates and the events leading up to it from the perspective of King Leonidas of Sparta. The graphic novel was published by Dark Horse Comics in 1999 and is available for purchase on Amazon.com for $17.99.
FS.net screened 300 last weekend in Los Angeles and I will say that I was blown away. I was so amazed and in awe I had to go see the movie twice. Not only was everything that director Zack Snyder put into it incredible, but all of the actors: Gerard Butler, David Wenham, Dominic West, Lena Headey, and Rodrigo Santoro gave amazing performances.
» Although Frank Miller himself wasn't at the press events for 300, he did provide a written response regarding his absence and praised Zack Snyder's work:
"I can't wait to join the party that is 300. I've seen every inch of it. It's amazing. You've never seen anything like it."
To support Zack Snyder (and to help him with his Watchmen adaptation), go out and see 300! And to support the comic book genre and show Hollywood how much audiences do enjoy stylistic and outstanding comic book adaptations - go see it on March 9th!
300 Sequel
We reported that we overheard a conversation at a screening of 300 in Los Angeles that Frank Miller is interested in writing a sequel to 300. Unfortunately Frank had broken his hip and was not in attendance at the press events for 300, so no confirmation could be obtained.
» However, 300 producer Mark Canton did provide this response when questioned about the possibility of a sequel:
"If it all works out I'm sure we'll all be scrambling Zack Snyder and Frank Miller and everyone to figure out exactly '301'. Where there's a will there's a way, honestly. And the thing about Frank, you just don't know - he has a lot of stories he may want to tell that may be associated or not, but we just want this one to satisfy first."
A sequel will likely be announced upon the success of its opening weekend on March 9th. Stay tuned here on FS.net for details as they're announced coming up to that opening weekend.
The story is about a dishonored 13th-century samurai who is reborn in a corrupt and computerized 21st century New York with one last chance for redemption. Frank Miller has described "Ronin" as, "a superhero, science fiction, samurai drama, urban nightmare, [and] gothic romance." The graphic novel was published by DC Comics in 1995 and is available for purchase on Amazon.com for $13.95.
» At the press events for 300, producer Gianni Nunnari revealed that they are in a first look negotiation to adapt the Frank Miller graphic novel "Ronin".
» It was then revealed by IESB.net that Stomp The Yard director Sylvain White would be directing Ronin.
» Following that announcement, BlackFilm.com got an exclusive interview with Sylvain White who discussed more on the project. Here are a few quotes from Sylvain:
"I haven't spoken to [Frank Miller] in person yet, but we have had some preliminary exchanges and so far so good. The 'Ronin' comic book has less of a strong identifiable status than '300'. It's a different visual approach which is more based on the production design, more than the way it is shot. The world is so dense and so different and dark and intricate. It's going to be a lot of work but I'm really looking forward to it."
"The idea will be to stay close to the graphic novel. 'Ronin' is very dense and very long so of course we are going to have to streamline the story to fit it within a movie time frame."
Although Sylvain said this is probably his next project, Ronin will likely be a few years out until we see it in theaters, given that it is only in very early pre-production.
Sin City 2
"Sin City" is a collection of stories with a film-noir like style set in Basin City with frequent recurring characters and intertwining stories. The comics are published by Dark Horse Comics and the first story originally ran in 1991. The entire "Sin City" series is collected within 7 volumes, which can be purchased as a set on Amazon.com for $70.00.
In the first Sin City movie, four of the stories were used: "The Customer is Always Right", "The Hard Goodbye", "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard". Not too much has developed recently on Sin City 2, and if I remember correctly, the latest news was that it was even on hold.
» According to initial details via Zap2it.com last October, Sin City 2 would be based off of the story called "A Dame to Kill For" (pictured to the left) as well as a new story written by Frank Miller himself.
» The latest speculation posted on January 17th, 2007 on Cinema Blend is that Angelina Jolie, who was rumored to be in Sin City 2 for a while, is being replaced with Rachel Weisz, but that is not officially confirmed.
» From an interview in December at ComingSoon.net, Angelina Jolie said that she was very interested in still playing the role of Ava Lord from the "A Dame to Kill For" story. Also revealed then was that the film wasn't even going start pre-production until 2008 because director Robert Rodriguez's involvement with Grindhouse.
"We talked about it and I read the comic… I don't think the film is being made at this moment. When it's actually going to be made I'm sure we'll talk about it."
"It was a funny thing, because the idea came to me when I was pregnant… So it was this idea… I've been Clover (in 'The Good Shepherd'), depressed and quiet, and then I was feeling very maternal, pregnant. It was this idea of this sexy, violent and loud [character]… I thought maybe after I'm pregnant it would be nice to do."
With the current updates and rumors it seems that we won't see Sin City 2 until late 2008 or even 2009.
» There is also speculation that Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez will film both Sin City 2 and a Sin City 3 back-to-back. The 3rd sequel would be based on the story "Hell and Back". It's not at all confirmed but is rumored to at least star Michael Clarke Duncan and maybe even Johnny Depp.
The Spirit
"The Spirit" is one of the most well-known classic comic series in history. The comic was first created by the legendary Will Eisner in 1940 in a Sunday newspaper comic book insert. It chronicled the adventures of a masked vigilante who fought crime with the blessing of the city's police commissioner, an old friend. You can buy the original Volume 1 collection of "The Spirit" on Amazon.com for $33.99 or "The Best of the Spirit" for $10.64.
You're wondering why this is mentioned on a Frank Miller page? Ever since Frank Miller directed some segments of the original Sin City, he's been referred to as an actual good filmmaker and director. Although "The Spirit" is not a comic written or drawn by him, the poster above was created during last year's San Diego Comic-Con where it was announced by Frank Miller that he is writing and directing a movie adaptation of the film. Here are some of the quotes from a panel last year with Frank:
The full title of the movie is actually "Will Eisner's The Spirit." The movie, unlike the black-and-white comic book, will have color. How much has yet to be decided or is not revealed. Frank Miller will probably shoot the movie "Sin City"-style, using color as needed.
The movie will be a period piece with its fashion modeling "The Untouchables." It will be a serious, not tongue-in-cheek like the source. Nothing has been revealed about the plot, since Miller is still working on the script. He did say he will try to fit as many femme fatales as possible in the movie. However, the controversial (some would say racist) character Ebony White will be gone in the movie.
No other official word has come out about it and when it might appear on the big screen, but the project is still in the works.
The Future
Can we see Frank Miller becoming a staple in Hollywood, or heck, even his own genre? We're not sure yet, but he is making a powerful impact. I'm not too familiar with the remainder of his works, but is there anything by Miller that would also be incredible to see adapted? Leave a comment below with you thoughts, ideas, criticism, or dreams.

This month's theme is "Weddings". Because of my interest in vintage items, I have been noticing a trend toward indie weddings using vintage and thrifted items to decorate both the wedding and reception venues with DIY projects. This has been the inspiration for my Wedding projects that I created for this blog hop.
I envisioned the centerpiece on each guest table to have a small vignette of old books, vintage silver and glass. All of the accessories were thrifted (except for the candy.)
I used a short piece of wire (about 6 inches folded in half) and added a pearl drop bead to hang from the bottom. I used another shorter piece of wire to start wrapping the duck feathers and millinery flowers onto the folded wire away from the drop bead. Once I was happy with the arrangement, I used florist tape to wrap the wires securely. Next I wrapped the tape with lace. I used another short piece of lace to hold the pin-back and then tied it into a knot on the front. I glued a vintage button on the front to complete the look.
Another part of the wedding decorations I envisioned were "Thank You" gift boxes for the wedding party members. I created a side table to display the decorated pillow box.
To create the box, I started by adhering the grocery bag to another sheet of cardstock and then die cut a Pillow Box. I inked the edges to add dimension. Next I took a vintage hanky and wrapped it around the box. I die cut a Ticket Strip out of cardstock and attached it to the sides of the box to hold the hanky in place. I did not want to adhere the delicate hanky to the box. I embellished the ticket strip with another Ornate Label, more vintage heart lace and added a pearl-looking button as an accent.
I had so much fun creating all of these projects. The amazing thing was that, in all of these photos, the only two items I had to purchase for these specific projects were the alligator clips used in the vintage spool photo holders and the candy in the very first photo. Even the lemons in the lemonade were from a friend's garden.

Skin on the feet
How to soften the skin of the feet?
About footcare say much, but understand the importance of this care is not all: people think that their feet and heels are not worthy of attention or deserve it at the last turn.
Meanwhile, on the feet a lot of biologically active points and nerve endings – acting on them, you can enhance and restore your health, however, when the skin is rough and cracked, making it almost impossible.
The skin of the feet should be softer to make – for example, by means of baths of herbal decoctions.
Good softens skin following extract: chamomile, birch leaves and mint are mixed in equal parts, pour 5 tablespoons a mixture of boiling water (2-3 liters) and insist about an hour; filter, add warm water, dipped his feet in the infusion and take bath for 20-25 minutes.
After the bath roughened areas gently rub a pumice stone, foot nourishing cream smeared, and to problem areas apply compresses of lemon peel – it softens the skin and heals wounds and cracks.
It is more convenient to do this procedure before going to bed, and leave the wrap on all night.
And one more inexpensive universal recipe. Glycerin is mixed 1: 1 with ammonia, and rub this mixture in the morning and evening in the knees, elbows and feet – the skin will become soft and pink.

Yeah you can't really make an FML out of what an old person says. Half the time they don't even know where they are. My friend worked on a nursing home, and she said that the one guy would ask when his mom was picking him up every day, and every day they'd have to tell him she was dead. Kinda sad, but funny if you're sick like me ;)

Marine Surveyor Kids T-Shirts
The marine iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) is an iguana found only on the Galápagos Islands that has the ability, unique among modern lizards, to forage in the sea, making it a marine reptile. The iguana can dive over 9 m (30 ft) into the water. It has spread to all the islands in the archipelago, and is sometimes called the Galápagos marine iguana. It mainly lives on the rocky Galápagos shore to warm from the comparatively cold water, but can also be spotted in marshes and mangrove beaches.

Dallas Brain Injuries Lawyer
Injuries to the brain are some of the most severe injuries to happen to a person after a terrible accident including car and truck accidents and bicycle accidents, and can lead to lifelong injuries or even a risk of death. Many brain injuries are minor and do not require hospitalization. However, the ability to recognize the difference between minor a head injury and severe trauma may save your life in some cases. If you or a loved one have suffered trauma to the head, contact our Dallas brain injury lawyers to explore your legal options.
Brain Injury Statistics
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur far more often than the majority of us would assume. Each year, around 1.7 million TBIs occur, either as isolated injuries or as part of a related injury.
Head injuries are often caused by a bump or strike to the head which disrupts the normal function of the brain. However, their severity depends largely on the victim's consciousness or unconsciousness after sustaining head trauma.
Children between the ages of 0 and 4 years old, adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19, and adults over the age of 65 are most likely to sustain a TBI. Adults aged 75 and older have the highest rate of traumatic brain injury hospitalization and death. The CDC estimated in 2000 that medical costs and other indirect costs resulting from head trauma throughout the United States equaled an estimated $76.5 billion.
Brain Injury Causes
The majority of brain injury causes are the result of:
- Falls
- Car accidents
- Running into stationary objects or moving objects
- Violent attacks
- Work Accidents
- Premises liability accidents
- Truck accidents
These injuries can occur through work accidents, industrial accidents, and slip and fall accidents. According to the CDC, falls cause half of all traumatic brain injuries to children between the ages of 0 and 14, and 61% of all cranial trauma in adults ages 65 and older. Motorcycle accidents are also a leading cause of head injuries in Texas, since riders 21 and over are not legally required to wear a helmet. Our Dallas motorcycle accident lawyer is well versed in motorcycle and helmet laws through out the state.
These kinds of head injuries can lead to seizures, coma, personality changes, blurred vision, hearing loss, and cognitive deficiencies. Some TBIs can take several hours to fully develop after an accident, but their early signs include the following:
- Headaches
- Blurred vision
- Bleeding
- Light sensitivity
- Seizures
- Nausea
- Memory loss
If another person's negligence was reason behind your injury, do not give up your right to pursue compensation. Cranial injuries have lifelong traumatic effects on your life, family, and career.
Contact a Dallas Brain Injury Attorney
If you or a loved one have suffered a traumatic brain injury after any type of accident, do not hesitate to contact our experienced Dallas injury attorney at The Benton Law Firm. Our attorney has the experience and resources to help you achieve the compensation you deserve. Contact our offices at (214) 219-4878 today for your initial free consultation.

MyEssayWriting.com - Essay Writing Services.
The breadth of subjects tracks the vastness of thought. Several of our authors grapple with supremely tough questions: How does the gray matter in our skulls give rise to self-awareness? How can we have free will if our brains are bound by predictable mechanisms? How does memory work? Other articles describe how new genetic and biochemical findings elucidate causes of mental illness but also pose ethical quandaries. They illuminate mysteries of sensory perception. They explore how understanding of mental function can help us deal with mundane issues, such as solving problems creatively or making our arguments more persuasive. And a few celebrate the strange, unexpected beauties of the human condition.

"Safe Treats" are returning to the streets of Oro Valley this Halloween, which is Sunday, Oct. 31.
"Trick-or-treating" is always anticipated by children, and always a concern for parents.
This year, the Oro Valley Police Department and the Oro Valley Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #53 have partnered again to bring "Safe Treats" to many neighborhoods beginning at dusk.
Oro Valley Police Explorers have spent hours loading more than 3,000 bags of candy which will be handed out to neighborhoods all over Oro Valley. Oro Valley Police officers and civilians, OVPD Explorer Post and OVPD citizen volunteers will be patrolling in fully marked police vehicles, handing out bags of candy.
"This is a time for the Oro Valley Police employees to mingle with the Oro Valley community as well as keep the streets safe," a release said.
Safety tips to protect children include:
• Wear light clothing that's short enough to prevent tripping;
• Make sure children can see well through their masks;
• Have an adult accompany children;
• Carry a flashlight / glow sticks;
• Stay within neighborhoods that you are familiar with;
• Examine all candy;
• Beware of pets and snakes.

Flood and O'Brien strike late to seal Gypsies glory
Dundalk 1 Bohemians 3
GER O'BRIEN and Anto Flood produced Bohemians' version of the late, late show to give Bohs victory at Oriel Park.
The teams looked set for a point apiece when an Aiden Price own goal cancelled out Christy Fagan's first-half opener for Bohs, only for O'Brien (83) and Flood (85) to win the game for Pat Fenlon's battlers. With Ian Foster completing his UEFA Pro Licence course in the UK, the Lilywhites were under the watchful eye of assistant Darius Kierans.
Former Yeovil attacker Aiden Downes was named among the Bohs subs. The 23-year-old received the green light to sign on amateur forms just hours before kick-off.
Dundalk came into the game on the back of scoring 13 goals in their previous three outings and they almost got off to a dream start when Keith Ward whistled a free-kick just wide.
However, it was Bohs who went ahead in the sixth minute. The concession of a corner led to Price heading Killian Brennan's delivery back across the Lilywhites' six-yard box where Fagan was on hand to glance home from close range.
Dundalk opened the second half with intent and Mark Quigley and Marc Griffin both went close. Bohs 'keeper Barry Murphy was then called into action when Ross Gaynor's free-kick skidded off the head of Ger O'Brien.
The equaliser duly arrived on the hour mark. Gaynor whipped in a cross and this time Murphy was helpless to stop the ball flying past him. Griffin turned away in celebration but it looked like the crucial touch came off Price's head.
Bohs, though, had the last laugh with O'Brien and Flood beating Peter Cherrie with shots from distance.
DUNDALK -- Cherrie; Madden, Bennett (Maher 89), Guthrie, N Murphy; Kearns, Ward, Bolger, Gaynor; Griffin, Quigley.
BOHEMIANS -- Murphy; O'Brien, Burns, Price, Cahill; Buckley (Flood 58), Cronin (Hurley 89), Bayly, Brennan; Traynor, Fagan (Downes 77).
REF -- T Connolly (Dublin).

This last few days we are experiencing this years highest heat wave. Basically we are boiling up. Yesterday we had temperatures around 37°C and today they will be even higher.
Weather guys are saying 39°C (102F) today.
The only good thing this last few days was that the nights were a bit cold (13- 16°C ) so we were able to sleep. Yesterday we lost that privilege too. I don't know the exact morning temperature but it was a really hot night.
You are probably wondering how are we gardening now. Well we don't. The only thing I do in the garden is harvesting and nothing else. Yesterday I tried some weeding, but I started to feel nauseous and I gave up after 20 minutes. Today I went to the garden at 8am to do my harvest.
I got 500gr of sun cooked blackberries, 300gr of French beans, 2 kilos of tomatoes, some plums and 3 kilos of bush beans.
I managed to clean half of the bed with bush beans. The other half needs few more days to be ready for the harvest.
I'm planing to plant some more French beans on this bed. But I didn't see the point in planting them in this weather conditions.
I don't even have to say that it was hot as hell whole morning. I got home soaking wet from the sweat and it's not like I was doing something heavy. I was only bending and pulling the beans out :D
This morning even my Morning glory didn't open. It stayed half closed whole morning.
When I sat at my computer I realized the reason why I was sweating like a pig. As you can see the temperature is 33°C (91F) and it's not even the noon.
And we are red..really red...There are alerts all over the internet. Some scream about the temperature, but I'm more concerned about this one:
Locally strong showers with lightening and hail possible.
And since this cyclone is coming from the direction of the Alps it's almost impossible that we won't get some kind of storm. So I've hidden all the flower pots and chili peppers, tied everything that could fly and now we are waiting.
Lets just hope the storm will bring only rain.

It's cooler and rainy here at the moment. Thank goodness we don't get temperatures as high a you do!ReplyDeleteReplies
I always envy how you have so great temperatures in your country :(Delete
You must be suffering in that heat - but at least you seem to be getting plenty of stuff to harvest - hope you survive the storms and nothing gets too damaged.ReplyDeleteReplies
We get a lot cause we plant too much :) But the harvest would be so much better if we had temperatures below 35°CDelete
That is very very hot weather! I wouldn't be able to do much in that heat either. Your harvests you've posted (last blog post) look really good.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, thankfully tomatoes love the heat so they are always here. :DDelete

A small-perturbation stability analysis of a doubly infinite array of interdigitated, right circular helical vortices has been formulated. This array corresponds to the vortices trailed from the tips of the blades of a helicopter rotor or propeller in static thrust or axial flight condition and at great distance from the plane of rotation of the blades. The analysis makes use of the Biot-Savart law of induction and the Vorticity Transport Theorem. The singularities in the Biot-Savart integration for self-induction have been eliminated by substituting approximate functions. Near-singular behavior in other integrals has been minimized by adding and subtracting functions with similar near-singular behavior and which have exact, closed-form integrals.

Writing Pathways
I'm taking a break from the Preparation Protocol posts for the Calkins Units of Study to reflect on a recent experience. Last week my daughter, a college sophomore, called to tell me she had aced her English mid-term with a 3.9 out of 4. While she was pleased with her grade, she wanted to know what would have made it a 4.0. There were no comments or suggestions on the paper, so she approached the professor after class to get some oral feedback in order to know how to improve the next time. When the professor looked over her exam, she couldn't really find any specific suggestions. She said, "I think what must have happened is that I graded your paper first and my expectations were higher at the beginning of the stack than at the...read more

If you've been watching the new season of "Arrested Development," it's likely you've found yourself either oddly captivated or totally repulsed by the character Debrie Bardeaux, the junk-addicted actress who seems to be dangerously close to the precipice of toothlessness. Debrie is played by the comedian and professional weirdo Maria Bamford, who's known for her surrealistic impressions and array of bizarre voices.
And hey, Maria's got a new web series! It's called "Ask My Mom!" and it features two characters, both played by Miss Bamford. So far, two episodes have been released, and you can watch them both right here. On methadone even, if you so choose.

Happy Feet Friday7:51 AM Edit This 11 Comments »
These were taken in the dark of night. Ha! My outdoor "office" closes at 8:15 p.m. these days. I sit on the swing with my phone and my books, magazines, projects and the like until I can't see anymore and then I give up and go inside. Whee! Pretty soon, I'll be able to stay out until 9 p.m!
I have serious Spring Cleaning planned for this weekend. And that means EVERYTHING! Rugs rolled up and floors vaccuumed underneath, curtains washed, walls wiped down (Gay Boyfriend used some icky paint down there and it "leaks" something weird and looks all stripey) cupboards cleaned out and wiped clean, refrigerator spills from December cleaned up, books dusted clean, clean, clean. The cats will most likely hide under the bed for the duration. Until I go in there and move it. Ha!
Or not. I always have vast illusions of cleaning insanity. But at least some of it will get done.
I ran again last night. My broken leg doesn't like it very much, but I've been assured that the impact of the running makes the bones stronger. Anyone want to weigh in on that? But I knew I pushed it that last minute I ran because when I went back to walking, I was limping. And that's not good. If there's anything I learned in Physical Therapy when they taught me how to walk again - it's that I should be listening very carefully to make sure my footfalls are even. That's why it's so important for me to listen to music when I walk/run. It helps me with that. And my current favorite running song? Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin. It's perfect for how fast I'm going right now. 5.2. Whee for me!

In a public consultation exercise which ran from 26 October to 16 November this year, the Ministry of Finance ("MOF") and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority ("ACRA") sought feedback from the public in relation to proposed amendments to the Companies Act of Singapore (Cap.50) (" CA") to introduce an inward re-domiciliation regime ("Proposed Regime"). The Proposed Regime will allow a corporation incorporated in another jurisdiction to transfer its registration to Singapore while retaining its identity and history.
The purpose is to encourage and facilitate the relocation by foreign corporation s of their global or regional headquarters to Singapore. Currently, jurisdictions such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland already have re-domiciliation regimes. A popular reason why a company would want to seek re-domiciliation from its original jurisdiction is that the new host jurisdiction offers a more favourable regulatory environment. Other reasons would include financial or fiscal incentives and improved access to international financial and capital markets. The present proposal by MOF and ACRA is therefore aimed at enhancing Singapore's competitive position as an international business and financial centre.
This update summarises the key proposals.
The Key Proposals
Opportunities for businesses
Entities which may apply for transfer of registration
Besides a body corporate that is incorporated outside Singapore, it has been proposed, amongst other things, that the Proposed Regime be available to other types of foreign entities that meet the following criteria:
- A minimum size based on the criteria for a small company and small group as currently set out in the Thirteenth Schedule of the CA;
- The laws of the original jurisdiction must permit re-domiciliation;
- The relevant laws of the original jurisdiction must be complied with; and
- A solvency statement must be provided by the foreign entity.
A foreign entity which is able to fulfil the requirements under the Proposed Regime may then apply for registration with ACRA.
Streamlined process of transfer of registration
Under the Proposed Regime, the first step to transfer a registration will be an application to ACRA by the foreign entity. The foreign entity will have to furnish ACRA with information and documents such as particulars of its registered office, its name in its original jurisdiction and a certified copy of its certificate of incorporation in its original jurisdiction. If all is in order, a notice of transfer of registration will be issued. Upon payment of a prescribed fee and the application of the foreign entity, a certificate of transfer of registration will subsequently be issued. Lastly, the foreign entity must submit to ACRA a document evidencing de-registration in is original jurisdiction in order to complete the process.
One obvious benefit to foreign entities that avail themselves of this re-domiciliation regime is that the transfer of registration does not create a new legal entity, and as such would not affect its continuity as a body corporate or any of its existing property, rights or obligations.
Application of the CA to the re-domiciled entity
Under the Proposed Regime, upon successful registration of the foreign entity with ACRA, the foreign entity will be deemed a "company" as defined under Section 4(1) of the CA, and be subject to all the provisions which apply to companies under the CA (save for Section 144 of the CA, for which a 3-month grace period is given).
Going Forward
The consultation period has now closed, and it is expected that MOF and ACRA will in due course publish their responses to the feedback received and announce a more definitive timeline within which these important statutory changes will take effect.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

A POLICEMAN'S wife who has denied a series of charges in connection with prostitution made a brief appearance in court yesterday as lawyers prepared for a forthcoming trial.
Julie Hyett, 35, formerly of Rhodfa'r Capel, Burry Port, Llanelli, and who is now living at an address in Bristol, appeared at Swansea Crown Court for a plea and directions hearing.
Hyett has entered not guilty pleas to charges of controlling prostitution and procuring a girl and awomen to be prostitutes.
Yesterday's proceedings were watched from thepublic gallery by Hyett's husband, a serving policeofficer with Dyfed-Powys Police.
The alleged offences are said to have taken place between March 3 and July 17 last year.
The case was adjourned until June 4 when a trial date will be fixed.
The trial, due to take place later this year in Swansea, is expected to last between two and three weeks.
Hyett's conditional bail was extended.


text: US' UltraStrip Systems, the developer of robotic ship hull cleaning equipment, has announced that it has received from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office patent number US 6,564,815 titled "Air Gap Magnetic Mobile Robot". The new patent allows UltraStrip Systems to further expand its patented coatings removal systems. The advantages to the Air Gap patent over existing UltraStrip patented roller designs are greater adhesion and non-marring of the surface. President and CEO Dr. Robert O. Baratta said, "UltraStrip's latest patent, in our opinion, gives even greater patent protection for our M3500 Robotic System than we had with our earlier patents. We have also applied for international patents to give us the global rights to the air gap technology in the coatings removal industry." UltraStrip Systems has received four other U.S. patents for its coatings removal equipment (#5,628,271, #5,849,099, #6,287,340, and #6,425,389) with two Notice of Allowances approved, and two other patents applied for. UltraStrip develops and manufactures robotic solutions to environmental problems in the surface preparation and coatings removal industry and has developed portable, self-contained filtration equipment for possible use in homeland security. UltraStrip's patented robotic water jetting systems are designed to provide an environmentally safe coatings removal process in both heavy marine and above ground storage tank applications. The robotic systems represent a significant innovation in the surface preparation of ships and other structures. UltraStrip's patented systems have been used on the USS Eisenhower, a U.S. Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the USS Cole, the U.S. Navy destroyer attacked in Yemen in October 2000, the USS Doyle, a Navy guided missile destroyer, the USS Shreveport, Carnival and NCL cruise ships, as well as in Portugal's Lisnave. One of the latest projects in which Ultrastrip has been involved has been the surface preparation work on the Navy's new San Antonio class amphibious assault ship, LPD 17. The company expects to receive revenues in excess of $90,000. The M3500 Robotic System allowed the Navy to have its surface preparation work completed simultaneously with other trades finishing their work. Normally, if the ship were being grit blasted, other trades would not have been able to work while the grit blasting was in progress. The M3500 is also environmentally friendly as it completely contains all the toxic paint material for proper disposal UltraStrip has also announced that Jackwell Engineering Pte Ltd, a Singapore surface preparation service contractor firm, has placed an initial order for two robotic systems for delivery in September 2003 under the terms of a five year contract with UltraStrip, originally entered into in August 2002, providing for the purchase of up to $25 million of UltraStrip's robotic systems under an exclusive licensing arrangement for the M3500 Robotic System in Singapore. Under the agreed purchase order and payment terms entered into by Jackwell and UltraStrip on June 19, 2003, Jackwell has agreed to make a $950,000 down payment to UltraStrip prior to July 4, 2003 for the manufacture of the first two systems. Representatives of Jackwell and its partner, Asia Crossing Pte Ltd., have stated to management of Ultrastrip that payment is being arranged by Asia Crossing Pte Ltd. The payment balance is to be made to UltraStrip four weeks prior to delivery of the two systems in September 2003. UltraStrip has agreed to make delivery and complete training services to Jackwell through an existing domestic surface preparation service contract. To maintain exclusivity in the Singapore market, Jackwell has agreed to purchase up to twenty (20) systems under the terms of the five-year arrangement. Before the end of July, principals from both companies plan to meet to discuss accelerating these commitments. Dr. Robert O. Baratta states, "UltraStrip Systems is delighted to establish this relationship with Jackwell Engineering. Jackwell is an aggressive competitor in one of the premier ship repair countries in the world and the robotic systems produced by UltraStrip will give them a productivity advantage over competing contractors in Singapore's ship repair business. Jackwell will assume a leadership role in addressing the environmental issues created by grit blasting." Jack Ng, President of Jackwell Engineering, said, "UltraStrip's M3500 is the state of the art paint removal equipment in the world today and we are excited to be the exclusive contractor for the Singapore ship repair industry. There are tremendous advantages to the use of ultra high-pressure water with complete containment of the toxic paint over the current method of grit blasting. The air will no longer be filled with grit contaminating the atmosphere, the ocean, and the health of our workers. It is safe, highly productive, and environmentally friendly. What more could we ask for?"

Don Buchla, inventor of electronic music instruments, dies at 79
Updated 5:59 pm, Tuesday, September 20, 2016
Don Buchla, an innovative designer of electronic instruments who helped develop the first line of modular synthesizers around the same time as his East Coast counterpart Robert Moog, died Sept. 14 at his home in Berkeley. He was 79.
The cause was complications from cancer, said his son, Ezra Buchla.
While his name was not as familiar as Moog's outside of music industry circles, Mr. Buchla created several groundbreaking electronic instruments, including the Buchla 100, which was commissioned by the San Francisco Tape Center in 1963; the Buchla Music Easel, an all-in-one, portable synthesizer; and the fully MIDI-enabled Buchla 700.
R.I.P. to the visionary Don Buchla. pic.twitter.com/SZE99obEjP— I Dream Of Wires (@IDOWdocumentary) September 16, 2016
Composer Morton Subotnick used his voltage-controlled Buchla Modular Electronic Music System (a predecessor of the commercial Series 100 synth) on the landmark 1968 recording "Silver Apples of the Moon," widely recognized as the first full-length album of electronic music produced for a record company.
Mr. Buchla, who composed his own music as well, also played an integral part in the West Coast counterculture movement in the 1960s, working with audio engineer Owsley Stanley to build the Grateful Dead's immense sound system while his instruments frequently provided the soundtrack for psychedelic-era happenings such as the Trips Festival in San Francisco in 1966 and the writer Ken Kesey's Acid Tests.
In his 1968 book, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," Tom Wolfe wrote about the "Buchla electronic music machine screaming like a logical lunatic."
"I have always been outside, and I've chosen to remain there," Mr. Buchla said in a 1983 interview with Polyphony magazine. "I've been an experimentalist since really early childhood."
Mr. Buchla was born in South Gate (Los Angeles County) on April 17, 1937, and grew up in California and New Jersey. He studied astronomy, music and physiology at UC Berkeley, and graduated as a physics major in 1959.
While the instruments designed by Moog, who died in 2005, found their way into the mainstream at the hands of '70s musical rock icons like Yes, Tangerine Dream and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Mr. Buchla's creations had more subversive applications by design.
Moog labeled his synthesizer modules with practical names such as oscillators to generate tones, filters to modify them; Mr. Buchla opted for more fantastical names like Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator, Quad Dynamics Manager and Source of Uncertainty. He deliberately left keyboards out of his designs.

"A keyboard is dictatorial," Mr. Buchla had said. "When you've got a black-and-white keyboard, it's hard to play anything but keyboard music."
He worked on NASA projects, including controls for the Gemini space capsule; devised a laser-based navigational aid for the blind for RCA; and produced the sounds used by composer Suzanne Ciani to create the "Coca-Cola Pop 'n' Pour" audio signature, heard in countless advertisements.
"Don Buchla changed so many music and sound makers' lives by creating instruments that perpetually bestow novelty," composer Kaitlin Auerlia Smith, said in a statement. "I am forever grateful for his existence."
Mr. Buchla, who served as the technical director at the California Institute of the Arts, continued to design instruments through the 1970s and beyond, devising the first MIDI-capable controller in 1987 and introducing his 200e modular system in 2004, which integrated his classic modular designs with digital technology.
In 2012, while struggling with cancer, Mr. Buchla announced that his company had been acquired by a group of investors under the name Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments. He was fired the following year, which led to a lawsuit alleging that he was forced to sign an unfavorable deal and that the defendants acted "in bad faith, and with oppression and malice."
The complaint also claimed that the owners of the company that bears his name caused a stroke he suffered in 2014. The case went to arbitration in 2015 and reached a confidential resolution this year.
Mr. Buchla is survived by his wife, Anne-Marie Bonnel; son, Ezra; two daughters, Jeannine Serbanich and Erin Buchla; and two grandchildren.

Know the Risk: Digital Transformation's Impact on Your Business-Critical Applications REGISTER >
However, the survey also shows that consumers are still willing to increase the amount of personal business they do online, provided banks and other online services offer them strong authentication.
Nearly half of the 8,000 people responding to the study said they would switch to bank or business accounts that offered strong authentication options. And two-thirds were willing to move more of their transactions to online services offering a hardware authenticator.
''Consumers clearly want to stay active online, but they have effectively thrown down the gauntlet for the banks, brokerages, Web e-mail services, auction sites, and myriad other businesses to whom they entrust their personal information,'' Chris Young, vice president of consumer authentication services at RSA Security, said in a statement.
''Just when consumers were beginning to understand the required elements of secure electronic commerce -- such as lock icons on their browsers -- they have been plunged into the realization that attackers are working hard to extract and exploit personal information,'' Trent Henry, a senior analyst with the Burton Group, said in a statement. ''As a result, enterprises are looking for ways to improve the technologies and processes used by customers in the online realm, both to rebuild trust and to reduce the likelihood of identity theft and related problems.''

A custom figure of Lemmy Kilmister by 'Elvis 1976' (or Sébastien Bontemps' if you prefer…)
If you read Dangerous Minds on a regular basis then you know that from time to time myself or one of my intrepid colleagues enjoy spotlighting various action figures based on bands like Crass or perhaps a poseable version of Al Pacino's portrayal fictional cocaine-gobbling drug lord Tony Montana from Scarface. If you dig these kinds of posts then I've no doubt that you will soon be coveting the custom action figures by Brussels-based artist Sébastien Bontemps who works under the moniker "Elvis 1976."
Bontemps' interest with action figure customization started with a Joker figure released by DC Comics in the late 2000s and though his exceptional creations are generally "one-offs" it does appear that the talented artist sells his figures from time to time. You can find out how to purchase one by contacting the folks over at One Sixth Warriors for more information.
If you're more of a movie memorabilia kind of collector I've no doubt that Bontemps' highly detailed take on the most famous mohawked member of Lord Humungus' Marauders from Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, the completely badass crossbow-wielding Wez will make your head spin. Images of some of my favorite inhabitants of Bontemps' ultra-cool world follow.

I have to be the only one in junior high...
Wow, Carol. That's impressive and an eclectic assortment of subjects. One thing that teaching at a college has instilled in me is a desire to take more undergraduate courses and I intend to do just that after I finish my PhD... I'm too old for the tenure rat race so I might as well just keep learning!
we have open university here in Australia to, i tried it but lacked the motivation, i need to see people and talk to other students and the lecturers and tutors, seems to make it much more fun and motivation is a little easier, for me anyway.

I thought that I would do something different with this column this week. Normally I will preview a vehicle that is scheduled to be on dealers floors in the next year or two. However, Cadillac recently unveiled a concept vehicle (implying it may or may not be built) that has brought true meaning to the term cutting-edge. I thought you might enjoy reading about it.
As you may or may not be aware, Cadillac has for some time been aggressively trying to change its image from one of expensive, staid, boxy, outdated looking cars that no one really buys, into expensive, aggressive, sporty, eye-catching styling that many people will end up buying. Cadillac hopes their new styling and performance direction will allow them to compete head-on with Europes top auto manufacturers throughout the world.
2000 Cadillac Imaj high-tech concept.
If you have been following Cadillacs new design direction, showcased in their planned to be built Cadillac Evoq, you will be familiar with their emphasis on razor sharp edges, geometric arches and short cabined, long nosed sport cars. If not, you will be very surprised to see what the new Cadillacs will look like.
The recently released concept vehicle takes the same edgy styling principals from the Evoq and with a twist has come out with a long cabined, short nosed shape, called the Cadillac Imaj. Imagine a sport limo vehicle that still fits into a standard parking spot.
Designed and built in England by designer Simon Cox, who was hired away from Isuzu where Cox was responsible for the new Isuzu VehiCROSS, you can see why he was the right person to revamp Cadillacs sedans into the their new, exciting styling direction.
GM Concept Vehicle: Cadillac Imaj.
According to Cox the overall look of the Imaj evolved from the over-the-top 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. Now I dont know about you, but the Imaj does not look at all like the 57 Eldorado, and thank goodness for that. Sure the Imaj sports suicide doors and brushed aluminum roof rails, but the 57 Eldorado never had a electro chromic roof that can be changed from clear glass to translucent white to opaque by varying the voltage across it. Maybe what Cox really means is that the Imaj is just as shocking upon first viewing it as the older Eldorado was when it first came out.
To ensure that the Imaj has the necessary power to satisfy the European desire for performance, Cadillac has dropped the Evoqs supercharger 4.2 litre Northstar V8 into it. This 425 bhp engine has all the power and torque to guarantee a sporty feel to the Imaj. Helping to keep the Imaj light on its tires, Cadillac has made extensive use of aluminum throughout the vehicle.
To ensure that the Imaj stays on the road, it boasts the new Delphi MagneRide shocks, whose ride dampening is adjusted by passing electricity through the magnerheological fluid inside the shocks. You also have the new StabiliTrak 3.0, which features active steering effort compensation and an all-wheel drive that is controlled by a new electronic transfer case. To assist in keeping the drag coefficient low, front and rear spoilers are automatically activated to ensure proper airflow is maintained.
Interior wise, the Imaj sports a very high tech cockpit that sports the latest in automotive technology. Included is radar and infrared sensors positioned in the front and rear that give you adaptive cruise control, collision-avoidance warning, night vision and obstacle detection during parking, all via a fighter pilot feel, heads-up display.
Whether the Imaj ever makes it to market or not, be prepared for this type of styling influences to be present in the soon to be released 2002 Catera and the 2004 Seville. And with those introductions, I think it is safe to say that the boring, bland look of Cadillac is about to be a thing of the past. And that is very good news indeed!
