For about a year I have been researching a little project on the side–trust me, what I'm about to tell you I never would have thought I could do. I have been looking into what it might take to transform my very meat centered diet into a plant-based diet. I know. I once ate a 30 oz steak and wanted more–I've ordered 12 reorders of all you can eat ribs at Big Ed's Barbbq and went into what is now referred to as a pork coma–I always order the biggest piece of kielbasa–I have taken down a pound of bacon all by myself. Yeah! So, what the heck do you think might happen if I took meat away and put a whole lot more beets in my life? Scatological consideration aside–it will make me healthier–I think.
Also–I am eating way way way too much processed foods. I read the labels on some of this stuff I eat and I can't even pronounce what it is. I decided to not eat that anymore.
So today I implemented the first steps toward plant-based eating. I read a book where this guy was a Vegan Before 6. Good book, made sense, so I thought this is a good place to start.
So, I thought I would take this to my dozen or so readers to let them know why I am not ordering chicken wings for breakfast anymore.
I am going to give Vegan a shot–but only before 6.
Maybe someday I can take the plunge but today is not that day.
The plan is to give this a shot for the next three months then reassess. I will keep you updated the best I can.
Found this today and am pretty excited. It is Vegan and it is good. Trust me. I like it.
Worse comes to worse, I will just live off this.

Just learned that a fourth volume of Richard Rorty's essays has been published. I've been reading him for over twenty years now and, despite the negative opinions of his work that you hear frequently from conventional philosophers, I find his characterizations of philosophy and contemporary thought illuminating and rarely in disagreement with what I've read.
One of Richard Rorty's recent concerns is how we mistake concepts for things. Because we use concepts (which, we often forget, are words) like "mind," "consciousness, " "money," in everyday life we mistakenly think that we can, by thinking about those concepts more rigorously, get at what the things they refer to really are, their essence. Because in everyday life we use the word "consciousness" for many practical purposes we mistakenly think that it is an objectively existing entity which has a definable essence we can grasp. We wonder and ask: What exactly is consciousness?
He's saying that we are taking a concept that has arisen for practical social purposes and has a multiplicity of meanings – because a multiplicity of uses – and also a history of different meanings caused by different uses in different cultural contexts and mistaking it for identifying an objective entity which has a persisting nature or essence which we can pin down and, by so doing, capture an aspect of reality.
Yet, it's objected, this thing called "consciousness" seems so palpable, present, intimate, right here. And so it is, but the movement from the experiencing to the describing need not include the idea that we are getting at a piece of the world. Is that what words are doing? Rorty would say the describing is what we do to solve practical problems and make our way in the world, they should not be thought of as mirrors of reality.

Crystal Symphony
Built 1995, Kvaerner Masa Yards Turku New Shipyard, Finland
Tonnage 51 044 GT
Length 238,01 m
Width 30,20 m
Draught 7,60 m
1 010 passengers
6 Sultzer diesels, combined 38 880 kW
2 propellers
2 bow thrusters
1 stern thruster
Speed 22 knots
But first, I little word about my overall impression of the interiors. A more cruise-experienced friend of mine warned before I left that I would be about to experience a very conservative cruise line. And he was absolutely right; not just when it came to the onboard product, but also the interior decor. On both accounts, I couldn't help but feel that Crystal's recently-developed public image as a fresh and dynamic cruise line was at odds with the interior (and the onboard product). But as far as the interiors go, I'll let you judge for yourselves.
All images are taken on 12 May 2016 while the Crystal Symphony was at Civitavecchia, except those marked otherwise. As per the usual, click on the images to see them in larger size.
Deck 12 (Sun Deck) consists mostly of outer decks circling the Lido areas, with golf driving nets, a putting green and a tennis court scattered around it, with the gym and spa aft, around the base of the funnel.
|What better way to start than the builder's plate, which conviniently happens to be located at the base of the radar mast, forward on deck 12.
|Overlooking the main pool area from up on deck 12.
|The Palm Court, looking starboard and aft over the dance floor.
|A neat little piece of decór above the dance floor at Palm Court.
|Most of the Plam Court. The colour scheme was perhaps a bit bland for my tastes, though the pillows were a nice touch of colour.
|...and aft of the Teen's/Children's lounges you have the main pool area.
|I really like this sculpture overlooking the main (well, only) pool, with it's clear reference to the Crystal funnel symbol.
|The Lido Café which, as noted above, is not a café but a buffet. The decór was nice but very stereotypically cruise ship buffet.
|Both indoors and outdoors seating was available. At least during the time I was onboard, the Lido Café was only open for breakfast and lunch, which meant the space was deserted for most of the day.
Deck 9 (Seabreeze [sic!] Deck) consists entirely of cabins, or as Crystal calls them, deluxe staterooms.
Deck 8 (Horizon Deck) has more cabins, some of them with obstructed views. Here I can also give you a look inside one of them, as my own cabin, a Deluxe Statroom with Verandah, also happened to be on this deck.
|Verandah cabin 8050, seen from the entrance towards the veranda (photographed on 7 May 2016).
For decks five and six, see here.
Special thanks to Paul Garcia and Jaque Brown.
Next time we'll complete the tour of the Crystal Symphony with looks at the bulk of the public rooms on decks six and five.

The Giants took a chance on defensive tackle Mike Patterson, and now they're giving him another one.
The veteran defensive tackle was brought back, the team announced, along with the previously reported deal for cornerback Zack Bowman.
Patterson's perhaps best known for his seizure while with the Eagles in 2011, but he bounced back with the Giants last year and was a solid rotational player.
Hanging onto him gives them some depth up front, at a time when they're re-working their defense at several levels.

Today I've been going through the last of the boxes of our late tenant from the guesthouse behind our house (that my cousin and I co-own). Right before I was done with this project, I struck gold. Literally. One chunky ring that is 18K and another even heavier ring that is 14K.
What would you do if you were to run across such? My gut instinct is to hold onto them as I've been reading of more and more economists predicting a recession and should this occur, the national debt is so high and the GOP is in power so we can't expect much if any Obama-style humanitarian stimulus........in this situation, gold talks and may very well appreciate......or would you sell now and fund something with the proceeds?
Interesting situation to find myself in.....and funky that I did not find this until the going through the very last of her stuff (She passed two years ago at the end of August 2016). Rob

Kobo Sends eBooks and eReaders to Canadian Troops in Afghanistan
In response to a need for reading materials, Kobo, a global eReading service, is proud to announce that it is sending 150 new Kobo eReaders – loaded with best sellers and classic books – to the Canadian troops currently serving in Afghanistan.
"Reading materials are hard to come by as books are heavy to transport via flights, so they are not often updated. Additionally, the state of the library is not always in good shape," noted Mark Larose, Canadian Forces Personnel and Family Support Services.
Before sending over the eReaders, Kobo is inviting Canadians to contribute by offering the troops their recommendations and reviews on the included eBooks.
Publishers including HarperCollins Canada, Harlequin, McClelland & Stewart, Random House of Canada and Simon & Schuster have generously donated a wide selection of best sellers so in addition to the classics, the troops can enjoy this season's top titles at the same time as their loved ones back home.
"We learned of this need through a Kobo employee that has a family member serving in Afghanistan. We are very excited to participate and are very pleased with the response and the additional support from the publishing community. Hopefully with these books the troops can take some much needed time to relax, unwind and escape in a great read" said Michael Serbinis, CEO of Kobo.
The eReaders will go out to the troops in early September and will be available to share in the base library. Some of the eBooks that will be sent to the troops include great reads such as:
• A Soldier First by Rick Hillier
• Fifteen Days by Christine Blatchford
• The Bishop's Man by Linden MacIntyre
• Under the Dome by Stephen King
• Playing with Fire by Theo Fleury and Kirstie McLellan Day
You can visit the Kobo blog before September 5 to see the rest of the books and to share your thoughts and reviews: http://blog.kobobooks.com/2010/08/24/eReadersfortheTroops

P.I.T. Strength ….. Our Philosophy
At P.I.T. Strength you won't find a group of men and women instructors with countless letters after their name bragging about what we read and were tested on. Instead you get people who have lived in the real world and developed their approach and teaching patterns from countless hours in the gym using their own bodies a test subjects. We know what works simply because….we've tried it out on ourselves! We will never ask you to do something we haven't done ourselves.
Our core principle in helping people transform their bodies and mind is based on resistive force weight training.
Resistance training is based on the principle that muscles of the body will work to overcome a resistance force when required to do so. Whys is this good…. because the outcome is….. Improved muscle strength and tone, healthy weight, increased bone density and strength. How is this achieved?…..By applying more resistance to the muscles than they normally encounter…..this is accomplished by training with weights.
Why is our model successful….Because we don't use a pre-scripted workout program that you mindlessly work through. We personally work you out, each workout is designed for you, based on your current health, past workouts, frequency and progress. You're never on your own…we are with you every workout, teaching you the right form (safety first!) and educating you on why and how each exercise will help you.
At P.I.T. Strength you are not a gym member……you're our Work-Out Partner

Family law reforms will sow confusion, senior Lib Dem tells David Cameron
Prime minister is attacked over plan to insert statement encouraging shared parenting in Children Act 1989
Sir Alan Beith said the changes could make divorcing parents believe they had a right to equal time with children.
David Cameron has been accused by a senior Liberal Democrat of sowing legal confusion by "fundamentally" misunderstanding the shared parenting reforms he is promoting.
In a strongly worded letter to the prime minister, Sir Alan Beith, veteran chair of the Commons justice committee, lambasts the government for refusing to engage with critics and ignoring well-researched evidence.
Couples who are divorcing or separating will find the experience more traumatic because of conflicting expectations raised by reform of the Children Act 1989, he warns. The insertion of a statement encouraging "shared parenting" is legislation designed merely "to remove a perception which has no foundation in fact".
His fierce criticism is further evidence of tensions within the coalition government. The tone of the attack is all the more remarkable coming from a politician renowned for his normally circumspect approach to political differences.
The letter, released for publication and also sent to the Ministry of Justice and the Department for Education, has been written by Beith in his capacity as chair of the parliamentary committee, which contains five Conservative MPs as well as Labour and Plaid Cymru members.
His comments reflect widespread unease within the legal and family support services about the proposed changes. Unveiling the reforms last month, the children's minister, Tim Loughton, explained: "We want the law to be far more explicit about the importance of children having an ongoing relationship with both their parents after separation, where that is safe and in the child's best interests."
The minister also acknowledged: "This is categorically not about giving parents equal right to time with their children – it is about reinforcing society's expectation that mothers and fathers should be jointly responsible for their children's upbringing." The prime minister has been seen as supportive of the changes.
In his letter to Cameron, however, Beith, who represents the border constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed, expressed strong opposition. "Like the Family Justice Review, [the justice select committee] concluded that the idea of promoting shared parenting by changing the wording of the Children Act 1989 was seriously flawed," he wrote.
"To promote shared parenting through legislation undermines the paramount principle of the welfare of the child … It would be wrong, by a change in the law, to imply that parents have rights over children rather than responsibilities for children.
"A legislative statement, however drafted, which inserts concepts for furthering 'involvement', will be equated in the minds of warring parents as a right to equality of time.
"Attempting to further parental involvement in cases [that reach court] by changing legislation is to fundamentally misunderstand the nature of the issues in these cases.
"Extensive litigation seems likely to result from parties litigating to reconcile two competing principles – the welfare of the child and the duty to promote shared parenting.
"[The committee] remain of the view that the introduction of a statement will simply lead to confusion, and will risk undermining the central principle of the Children Act 1989 that the welfare of the child is paramount."
Resolution, the association which represents family lawyers, backed Beith's letter. A spokesperson said: "These proposals could result in more litigation, more conflict, and more confusion, regardless of the government's intentions.
"Our members encourage clients to ensure the child's best interests remain at the forefront, during what can often be a difficult and traumatic time for families. Our concern is that if the government gets this wrong, they risk focusing on parents' rights rather than the best interests of children."
A government spokesman said: "We want to strengthen the law so both parents can be actively involved in their children's lives, only where it is safe and in their best interests. We are consulting in detail on how we can legislate to do that and are listening carefully to all views."

Murals are the main, media of human culture and civilization and the place and its long history in Iranian art is clear. There are specific forms of mural paintings in some Iranian architecture that are different from other usual wall paintings in materials, methods as well as implementation techniques. Unfortunately, these mural paintings are not studied certainly until now. Therefore, further investigation is needed due to the importance of this issue.
In the scientific literature, different definitions of this kind of murals which provided examples of them pointed out: Canvas murals, Oil-on-canvas mural, Marouflage wall painting, Marouflaged canvasmural, Oil painting on canvas onto walls, Marouflaged Canvas, Textile wall hangings, Canvas painting adhered to the wall surface, The painting had been adhered to the ceiling by Marouflage, Mural painting on canvas, Used a canvas set in to the wall, Oil on maroufle canvas for mural painting, Fabric-based murals, Ceiling canvases, Painting Hung on the wall, Wall Cover, Oil on Canvas attach on wall, Oil on Canvas mounted on wall.
In Europe during the 17th century there was a movement away from painting on solid supports towards more portable painting techniques, giving rise to the easel painting tradition. Particularly in France, traditional fresco painting techniques were replaced by mural painting techniques similar to those used in easel painting. This new mural painting technique involved the use of textile supports that the artist could work on in their studio instead of on high scaffolding in large public places1. Marouflage is the term often used to describe this mural painting process, which involves attaching a large-scale painting on canvas to a solid substrate. The solid substrate is often architectural, such as a wall or ceiling. The complete canvas murals were often hung by specialized mural hangers, not the artist themselves. Experienced hangers developed techniques with adhesive properties that were able to bond, two materials which have widely varying properties, such as degree of expansion and contraction, porosity, etc. Ideally a marouflage adhesive needs the following characteristics: a viscous paste that is easy to apply, a slow to medium setting time, high initial tack and bond strength. Using a thick paste prevents dripping and unwanted mess during application. A high initial tack prevents the mural from falling during installation and slower setting times allow substantial working time so that the large murals can be properly positioned.
Regarding to importance of necessity of art understanding before conservation, it is obvious that common conservation procedures on these relics (without appropriate understanding) have an inappropriate results on authenticity and integrity of the relics. Unfortunately, there is not adequate research about technology and conservation of these relics and related fields. The aim of this research is the identification of history of development, and used materials and techniques in these historic paintings by field and literature investigations. Technological understanding of this kind of murals during the time by application of literature review and data explanation. Due to low information in Persian, European Marouflaged canvasmural has been studied more than Iranian relics. The research subject and case studies are studied in a qualitative and descriptive research method and the subject is considered with ten historical and theoretical aspects. These paintings are executed on the layer of cloth (canvas) and then installed on the wall that is known as a part of the architecture arrays. This research at the first library study is conducted and then according to the results, the field studies are carried out and finally, the data are analyzed. Knowing the number of Marouflage according to literature review, the identification of constituent layers of Marouflage according to field studies, and Understanding the differences between a common wall Paintings and Textile Marouflage in Iran, are the results of this paper. In architectural conservation in Iran there is a perspective called Iranian-Islamic whose meaning is the influence of Islamic belief and thought upon tradition of conservation architectural works during Islamic era of Iran.
In this paper, the process of formation of this type of wall painting in Iran was studied and present examples of this method in Iranian architecture are introduced and explained. Some of the architectural interior surfaces are decorated by the textile painting by Marouflaged in Ilkhanid, Safavid and Quajarperiod; funerary monuments with polygonal plan have the most decorative surfaces such as Soltanieh Dome, Sheykh Safi mausoleum, Maryam church, Golestan palace and etc. According to studies, there was technical change in manufacturing process of large wall paintings and ceiling paintings at Renaissance period. It resulted to production of new kind of murals which known as Marouflaged canvasmural. The research obtained appropriate results about production, manufacturing, historical samples and effect of technological problems on conservation of Marouflaged canvasmural.

Estadísticas de Olas para Point Panic, abril: Todo Oleaje – Todo Viento
The graph describes the range of swells directed at Point Panic through a typical April, based on 2880 NWW3 model predictions since 2007 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast surf and wind right at the coastline so we have chosen the most applicable grid node based on what we know about Point Panic. In this particular case the best grid node is 35 km away (22 miles).
The rose diagram shows the distribution of swell sizes and swell direction, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing but lacks direction information. Five colours represent increasing wave sizes. Very small swells of less than 0.5m (1.5 feet) high are shown in blue. These were forecast only 69% of the time. Green and yellow represent increasing swell sizes and highest swells greater than >3m (>10ft) are shown in red. In both graphs, the area of any colour is proportional to how commonly that size swell occurs.
The diagram implies that the dominant swell direction, shown by the biggest spokes, was SSW, whereas the the dominant wind blows from the ENE. Because the wave model grid is out to sea, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Point Panic and offshore. We combine these with the no surf category of the bar chart. To simplify things we don't show these in the rose diagram. Because wind determines whether or not waves are clean enough to surf at Point Panic, you can load a different image that shows only the swells that were expected to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. Over an average April, swells large enough to cause surfable waves at Point Panic run for about 31% of the time.
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

DOCTOR Who had a shrinking problem yesterday when his Tardis became tiny.
Scots actor Peter Capaldi, 56, played it for laughs when the tiny flat-pack version of the Time Lord's transport arrived on set in Barry, Wales.
He entertained co-star Jenna Coleman and watching fans by trying to squeeze into it.
Capaldi and Jenna, 28, had been filmed earlier with a more normally sized Tardis.
Onlooker Phillip Peck, 52, said: "On TV, the Tardis looks about eight or nine feet. It was interesting to know it's flat packed.
"I wonder if I can get one at Ikea."

If you've read this blog before you know that I've had more than a few stories about bullying, bystander behavior, acts of violence and agression toward a particular person or group. It seems, though, that there is no dearth of news about this at its core, and I feel that advisory should be a place to discuss many of these issues. It has the power to provide a safe space from this kind of behavior.
A couple of weeks ago, bullying led to a suicide. Phoebe Prince, a 14 year old high school student new to the school, committed the crime of being new, different, and threatening to social life of an older girl. She was chased in the hall and called and "Irish Slut"; phone messages, texts, and Facebook pages haunted her. (Even after she died, bullies posted terrible messages on her page). It is another chance to learn something, to change what is sadly a common response to fear and jealousy.
Activities: With any of these activities, you will probably want to have students understand what happened in South Hadley to Phoebe (using the articles below and the news piece), and allow them to ask questions to learn more about it.
- Read the poem: "What do we do with a Variation?"
- What are the different ways that poet James Berry says that we (humans) deal with difference?
- Which seems to have been in place for the bullies at South Hadley High School? Why?
- What is your favorite metaphor in the poem? Why?
- Berry shows us the range of responses we have – some of us have all these responses in different settings – what response to dealing with difference represents how you respond most often? Give a couple examples.
- Read the editorial by Kevin Cullen "The Untouchable Mean Girls".
- Talk with students about what an editorial is and how the rules of journalistic objectivity do not apply. This might be a good time to review fact vs. opinion with them. (You can use a T-Chart graphic organizer to have them write words and phrases that are facts from the stories and then opinions he derives from those facts). Have students discuss what the tone of his editorial is. How can you tell? Do you find his editorial persuasive? Why?
- Discuss as a group, based on what you know, where does the responsibility of this type of death lie? (I would only do this activity if you have built a group with strong norms to listen and respect one another and the topic. This could be trivialized in an immature setting. We do not have all the information and it would be irresponsible to dole out blame in this case. Encourage them to think more abstractly.) Have students discuss where the responsibility lies in these cases. (One way to frame this could be – if we were going to make changes so this didn't happen in the future, where would we have to spend most of the energy). Have them in small groups discuss:
- What is the responsibility of the School?
- What is the responsibility of the (the bullies') Parents?
- What is the responsibility of the bullies?
- What is the responsibility of the bullied?
- Other: ______________
- The using the Pie Chart graphic organizer have each student dole out the responsibility for this event to any or all of the four groups/people above – it must add up to 100%. On the back or in the margins explain the "why" you have given the percent of responsibility (not blame) to. If you have time, have each group member present to the small group and, if possible, come to some agreement on a group pie chart. After looking at it, discuss, what does this assignment of responsibility suggest about how we should move forward to impact the future?
- Have students respond in quiet journaling: Does learning about these stories cause you to think differently about acting with others? What did you learn from Phoebe's situation and her choice? What is it that can and should be done about these incidents? Why?
- Boston Globe Article
- "The Untouchable Mean Girls"
- News Story– Television Clip

- Video: three other girls choose to leave South Hadley HS Because of Bullying

- Updated: 3.29: Town Awaits DA Speech + Bullying bill headed to the Governor
- Updated 3.30: 9 Teens charged with bullying.
- Research the increasing incidents and any current thinking about how to combat Cyber Bullying. How is it different from bullying in person? Is it more pervasive or less? How do bullies experience this?
- Is there a difference between when and how boys bully and when and how girls bully? Look into research to see if gender plays a role in this.
- You might choose to have students create an ad, write a persuasive essay, or creatively express their feelings on and solutions to this chronic bullying.

Good Morning! It's a rainy Monday here....perfect for a day off from the gym, running errands, lunch with some girlfriends, and even some crafty time.
I had a friend need a sympathy card, and the Viva La Verve sketch from Week 5 was a perfect fit.
I used the new Surely Goodness set, stamping the flowers on the DP, then cut them out using the Goodness Flowers Die Set. I am really loving how you can quickly make a beautiful flower using this combo!
The sentiment was from my Treasured Words set, one of my heavily used ones right now! I LOVE the fonts!
The paper is from an old pack I found hiding in my pile - MME Stella & Rose Hazel.
Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your day!

Sonnet 60
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked elipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
William Shakespeare 1609
What better way to start a year than with Shakespeare! With a poem about the ravages of time, no less? Or a beautiful nod to the temporality of all? Check back soon for a close-read.

Maki Ueda (JP/NL)
olfactory artist
online portfolio: http://www.ueda.nl
Born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1974. Currently based in Okinawa, Japan
Maki Ueda is an artist who incorporates the olfactory sense in art. She considers smell to be "new media". Believing that "fewer visuals = stronger olfactory experiences", she puts the emphasis on olfaction over the visual aspect in her work. She often uses scents to spark the imagination or to create perceptual confusion.
She has developed a unique combination of chemical and kitchen skills in order to extract the scents of daily life, including foods, ambient aromas, and bodily scents. She creates scents that capture childhood, identity, a mood, or a historical event. The results of her experiments take the form of olfactory installations and workshops.
Maki Ueda studied media art under Masaki Fujihata at The Environmental Information Department (B.A. 1997, M.A. 1999), Keio University, Japan. She received a grant from the Japanese government in 2000 and from the POLA Art Foundation in 2007. She has been based in The Netherlands from 2000 till 2011. She teaches and gives workshops on olfactory art at ArtScience Interfaculty of The Royal Academy of Art and Royal Conservatory The Hague (NL) as a guest teacher.
2009 - Nominated for The World Technology Awards Category: Art (NY, USA)
2016 - Sadakichi Award Finalist, for 'The Juice of War', The Art and Olfaction Awards
2018 - Sadakichi Award Finalist, for 'Olfactory Games', The Art and Olfaction Awards
• Olfactory installations (as well as site-specific and open-air installations)
• Perfume artworks
• Research on the sense of smell and other senses
• Olfactory performances
• Olfactory workshops (for both adults and children)
• Food art event with the focus on the sense of smell and molecular gastronomy
• Teaching "olfactory art" at art schools and universities
Maki Ueda
In my artistic practice I use smell as a medium to incorporate the olfactory sense in art. Speaking generally about smell, we often think about its practical applications: perfumery, toiletry, flavoring etc. Contrarily, I focus on the parts that are related to memories, emotions, perceptions, and experiences. The smell that I present is like a piece of painting.
Currently I am one of the few artists in the world focusing solely on the olfactory sense. Honorary enough I have been invited to the unique art exhibition with the smells (and of the smells) "If There Ever Was" held in the U.K. in 2008.
While most of the artists/perfumers use the ready-made aroma ingredients, I make the ingredients from scratch. While the commercial world prefers the synthetic ingredients because it's inexpensive, stable, and controllable, I mainly deal with natural ingredients. I consciously do that because I want to work with the smell as a medium, to know what's happening on the material level. Natural smell has a depth that is incomparable with synthetic smell. Synthetic smell consists of the limited amount of components, while natural smell often consists of thousands of components, often uncountable. We know that the strawberry-flavored candy tastes totally different from the real strawberry, for example.
I extract the natural smell from a material with chemistry techniques for retrieving essential oil, distillation, ethanol extraction, oil maceration etc. Sometimes I refer to the chemistry of cooking. I present the smell with the different diffusion techniques like atomizing, perfuming, incensing, and printing (scratch & sniff). The results are presented in a form of installation, live performance, or workshop. I also collaborate with choreographers as a "scent artist" to develop the olfactory interaction in interdisciplinary performance pieces.
Over the last years I've been researching and finding interesting local scents, and extracting them on- site. The focuses are the scents of daily life; food, drinks, materials, persons, and the environment. The result is a series of the perfume works under the name "Aromatic Journey" (http://www.ueda.nl/aromatic_journey1). The local culture is being explored and experienced by means of smell. The audience intuitively experiences essences of a culture by smelling. The results are not a perfume to wear, but to smell and trigger one's memory and imagination. For the foreign people they could smell totally exotic, while for local people they could be redefining and zooming into their native scents.
Olfactory preferences are originally locally oriented. They correspond to the evaporating character of aromatic substances. Each culture has its own special smell representation. Nowadays a lot of natural daily-life smells are disappearing because of the drastic changes in lifestyle. The chemically reconstructed smells made by the mass industry are invading us everywhere, and erasing and replacing the natural smells. On a street in Japan you smell Channel 5 just like you do in Europe. I consider this phenomenon as the nasal globalization.
In the past I was making media art works focusing on global awareness and communication. In 2003 I've realized "Hole in the Earth" , an installation in public space with bidirectional permanent streaming of video and audio for connecting two totally different cultures; Indonesia and Holland. When I was in Indonesia for installing, I became interested also to stream the local (good and bad) smells of the street over the internet. This has pushed me into my current works.

"I go to the clinic and he's got tubes and everything. I love animals. I talk in his ear and I kiss him, and guess what? The fucker wakes up! We have to get him in a cage, so I get the biggest one, and I sleep there with him. What, I'm gonna promote
? Who's JCVD? He's the guy we saw in the movie. Why change him in real life? So, Scarface was alive next to me. He had a tube in his penis, I had to change it. And now he's an amazing dog. He loves me like crazy. And

What did medieval contemporaries think of military orders such as the Knights Hospitaller and Teutonic Knights? Helen Nicholson investigates.
In October 1307, by order of Philip IV of France, all the Knights Templar within the French domains were arrested. The following month, Pope Clement V sent out orders for the arrest of the Templars throughout Europe. The brothers were accused of a variety of crimes, which were said to be long-established in the order. There were, it was claimed, serious abuses in the admission ceremony, where the brothers denied their faith in Christ. The order encouraged homosexual activity between brothers. The brothers worshipped idols. Chapter meetings were held in secret. The brothers did not believe in the mass or other sacraments of the church and did not carry these out properly, defrauding patrons of the order who had given money for masses to be said for their families' souls.

Imagio rumors have proven to be deliciously correct, with Verizon officially announcing the beastly Windows Mobile 6.5 set for availability on October 6 -- the first day 6.5 devices will officially be available anywhere. HTC's latest CDMA device features a spacious wide VGA display clocking in at 3.6 inches, a 5 megapixel autofocus cam, quadband EDGE plus HSPA 2100 for when you're looking for a little connectivity abroad, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the very latest iteration of TouchFLO 3D featuring social network integration, but the most interesting feature might be its support for MediaFLO-based VCAST TV -- a first for HTC and Windows Mobile. Interest parties need only wait until next Tuesday to latch onto an Imagio online, while retail stores will be taking delivery on the 20th of the month -- either way, you'll be paying $199.99 on contract after rebate.

I'm rarely disappointed with craft beer, or brewers willing to experiment. I don't believe beers has to be made a certain way and I'm completely fine with throwing in things like spices, chocolate, ham flavour or fruit, if only to explore the boundaries and possibilities or beer making. Breweries such as Rogue in the US cast their net far and wide when it comes to producing variety in their range (how great does this Chipotle Ale look?) like little alcoholic Willy Wonka factories. Last year they brought out the Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale, a combination of most of my favourite things, which was followed up this year with the Voodoo Doughnut Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Ale. The beer is a nod to a certain deep fried snack with these ingredients was favoured by Elvis, which I can totally get behind. The theory is great, but in practice the Voodoo left a lot to be desired.
Remember those chalky banana lollies you'd buy as a kid? Remember that synthetic "banana" taste that wasn't really anything you'd actually experience in nature, but left a profound impact on your taste-buds and psyche for years to come? One sip of the Voodoo brought it all rushing back. High expectations and crushing disappointment. I wasn't expecting the artificial, chemical taste at all, nor for it to come across so strongly. There's plenty of beers out there that achieve the banana taste seemingly by accident, so it's strange to see how the artificial flavour was pushed so strongly in this beer. There was a hint of the chocolate there, but the lack of bitterness (25IBU, sitting around the range of a pilsner or English ale) and body in the ale left it without any punch. Peanut butter? While a fellow taster had hints of it I couldn't pick it. The asking price for this one is a tad on the ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME scale of things, which adds another blow to what was an unsatisfying brew.

Real Estate CyberSpace Society
Nine Hawthorne Place, Suite 16L
Boston, MA 02114
Phone: 617-523-4441
Real Estate CyberSpace Radio (RECR) today released excerpts from their June briefings. In three interviews, Andy Rathbone, Cary Chessick and Jack Herrington acquaint listeners with innovative tech tips and tools for working smart and expanding business.
In the lead interview, national best-selling tech writer Andy Rathbone-author of the Windows for Dummies series-applies the nitty-gritty advice from his latest book, PCs: The Missing Manual to the practice of real estate. In plain language, he addresses the challenges that agents who use a computer are bound to encounter. His topics range from upgrades to digital cameras, security and the Internet. He discloses, for example, the easiest upgrade to a PC or laptop that makes the biggest difference, his favorite hint for using digital cameras and the quick fix that should always be tried first for a computer problem. One of Rathbone's areas of emphasis is the importance of having a backup strategy. In talking about hard drives dying, he notes, "It's not a question of whether they will; it's a question of when!" He tells how to be prepared for a crash, and he adds other top tips for using technology and directs listeners to his favorite resources on the Web.
In the second interview, Cary Chessick, CEO of Restaurant.com and DiningDough.com, gives advice on how to create client gold on a paper-thin budget He focuses on one of the newest benefits for Real Estate CyberSpace Society members-the Dining Discount program, which is based on his company's unique marketing arrangement with over 7,000 restaurants across the nation. The program can be used by members to impress new contacts and build lasting rapport with clients at very low cost. In fact, the Dining Discount can be put to good personal use as well. Chessick outlines how members go about getting certificates and how recipients go about redeeming them for discounts at their own choice of a restaurant or for goods and services from a wide range of Restaurant.com affiliates-leading vendors of such desirables as wine, cigars, steaks, lobsters, flowers and more. Chessick puts the Dining Discount program in the broader context of using the Internet creatively. He distinguishes between professionals who ignore technology and those who embrace it. "Those who spend the energy and effort with a computer to learn what is out there can take advantage of it."
The wrap-up briefing with podcasting expert and author Jack Herrington reviews the "how-tos" for incorporating the hot, new technologies of podcasting and blogging into your real estate marketing strategy. Herrington begins with a simple explanation of what podcasting is and then runs through the steps for putting media files (audio and video) on the web for access by your own subscribers. He shares some very good news: "Podcasting is relatively inexpensive-nearly free if you use some of the free tools." Herrington lets his listeners in on the secret of which free tools are the best. He also explains how these tools can be used in combination and how podcasting and blogging can be used jointly to leverage their impact. Sensitive to the demands of the bottom line, Herrington goes beyond the technicalities of setting up blogs and podcasts to provide tips for successfully promoting these efforts to a targeted audience.

Norman Judkins
by Bo
"Each man who opened an addition named the streets according to his fancy," writes Sophie Frye Bass. Perhaps nowhere is this truer than in the Norman B. Judkins Addition to the Town of Seattle, filed by Norman B. Judkins in 1869. The plat includes five named streets, which Judkins called Norman, B, Judkins, Addition, Town, and Seattle.
Judkins's plat is roughly where I-5 and I-90 meet today. (The numbered streets have shifted slightly from the 1869 layout. The plat's Seventh St. would be today's Fifth Ave. S, and so on.) Note that the shoreline of Elliott Bay cuts right through the center of the plat; this is approximately where I-5 is now.
Of Judkins's named streets in southeast Seattle, only Norman and Judkins remain. B Street is now Connecticut, and Town is Atlantic. However, both Addition and Seattle Streets are still evident in short stretches on a 1950 Sanborn Fire Insurance map, and Seattle Street is still here, albeit only in its far westward extension, between Atlantic and Massachusetts in West Seattle.

Wild meat butchery
Do you shoot and not know how to prepare the kill for the table? Are you sometimes given a brace of pheasants or rabbits and don't know what to do with them. Or maybe you like to use road-kill? If so, this new hands-on course is for you.
Ray Davis will show you easy ways of how to skin, prepare and joint some or all of the following:
- Rabbits
- Partridges
- Pheasants
- Pigeons
- Muntjac
and maybe other birds/animals depending on availability.
Click on Ray's name to see more about him.
Excellent course. Would like to have gone through gutting rabbits and deer from point of kill [not possible because rabbits have to be paunched and deer gralloched immediately they are killed or the meat tastes bad]. Appreciate the difficult with this due to time scale.
Very informative. Just what I wanted.
Fantastic day, wonderful hosts, excellent tutor, feel confident to deal with any game now, thank you.
Excellent presentation, very easy to follow. Catering very good. Nice to eat what you have seen butchered. Steve C.
Ray is very knowledgeable and helpful. Lunch was delicious. Thank you!
Well presented – and importantly, well timed.
Excellent. A wonderful introduction. Freddy S.
Would have liked to get more hands on with the muntjac but otherwise loved it!! [Everyone had a pigeon, partridge, pheasant and rabbit each. Too much to bring 12 muntjac!]
Excellent course, friendly and accommodating. Lunch was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Really enjoyed it. Lovely day with great company.
Absolutely loved the day. Far exceeded my expectations. Thank you.
Tutor{s}:Ray Davis
What to Bring

TOKYO Japan's parliament approved government guarantees on insurance for crude oil cargoes from Iran on Wednesday, paving the way for it to become the first of Iran's big Asian oil buyers to get round new European Union sanctions.
The law will take effect on June 27, a government official who requested anonymity said on Tuesday.
It allows the Japanese government, which has succeeded in getting a waiver from U.S. financial sanctions, to provide cover of up to $7.6 billion for each tanker carrying Iranian crude bound for Japan in the event of accidents.
An EU ban on member countries importing Iranian oil takes effect on July 1 and includes a ban on EU insurance firms from covering Iran's exports. That is a headache for Japan, South Korea, China and India, which together buy two-thirds of Iran's oil exports and rely on EU companies to insure them.
EU and U.S. sanctions aim to cut the oil revenues on which Tehran depends to force it to curb its nuclear program. The West suspects Iran's aim is to develop nuclear weapons, while Tehran says it needs reactors to provide electricity.
Iranian oil accounted for nearly 9 percent of Japan's crude imports last year. Japan has reduced the flow already to comply with U.S. sanctions requiring buyers to make sizeable cuts, but wants to avoid more drastic reductions that could drive up energy import costs and hurt the world's third-largest economy.
Refiners have cut their purchases even though Japan needs more oil to fuel power stations after last year's Fukushima disaster led to a halting of reactors providing nuclear power.
It is the first time Japan has sought to provide guarantees on marine shipments, an official in the country's transport ministry, which sponsored the legislation, said earlier.
India's government, which has also won an exemption to U.S. sanctions, has been trying without success to figure out how it will get around the EU sanctions.
Iran's top buyer China has yet to detail how it plans to resolve the insurance problem, but industry sources there have said the country will find a way to keep imports flowing.
South Korea will reduce imports to zero in July due to the insurance ban, industry sources have said.
Seoul, like Tokyo, has lobbied the EU to delay or get a waiver on implementing the ban on insurers, but is not considering state guarantees, according to government sources there.
Those lobbying efforts have so far failed. The European Union will not cancel or delay the embargo on Iranian oil tankers, EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said at an industry conference a week ago.
The International Energy Agency said last week that Iran's crude exports in April and May have fallen by 1 million bpd since the end of 2011 to 1.5 million bpd and that Tehran may need to shut in production.
China, Japan, India and South Korea have cut purchases by about a fifth from the 1.45 million bpd they were buying a year ago ahead of the imposition of the sanctions.

National Association of Manufacturers cites CBO support for job creation powers of full Bush tax cut extension
The National Association of Manufacturers says fully extending the Bush tax cuts will create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
On Dec. 2, 2010, the business group issued a statement to show its support for extending all the Bush tax cuts, which are set to expire on Jan. 1.
Jay Timmons, the group's executive vice president, said that "manufacturers strongly support extending the 2001 and 2003 tax rates for all taxpayers. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, fully extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts would add between 600,000 and 1.4 million jobs in 2011 and between 900,000 and 2.7 million jobs in 2012."
We wondered whether the CBO, an independent group that estimates the cost and impact of legislation, really found that a full extension of the tax cuts would be such a job-creating engine. So we tracked down the original CBO analysis.
The estimates come from written testimony by CBO director Douglas W. Elmendorf before the Senate Budget Committee on Sept. 28, 2010. Strictly speaking, the trade group has reported the numbers correctly. For 2011, the CBO did indeed estimate that full extension of the tax cuts on a permanent basis would create 600,000 to 1.4 million jobs, plus an addiional 900,000 to 2.7 million jobs in 2012.
However, a couple of caveats are in order.
What are the alternative scenarios?
The way the group phrased its statement, you might think that the only alternative to its preferred option would be to let all the tax cuts expire. But the CBO ran the numbers under three other options -- a permanent partial extension (that is, a permanent cut for all but the wealthiest taxpayers, as Obama and many congressional Democrats favor) as well as a two-year extension for all taxpayers and a two-year extension for all but the wealthiest taxpayers.
The option favored by the manufacturers and most Republicans -- full, permanent extension -- does produce the most jobs. But the Democratic option isn't far behind.
In 2011, the permanent partial extension sought by Democrats would generate between 500,000 and 1.2 million jobs, which is about 100,000 to 200,000 fewer jobs (or 14 to 17 percent less) than the Republican option would generate. The picture is similar for 2012.
Meanwhile, both of the options for a temporary extension -- for all taxpayers, or for all but the wealthiest -- would produce fewer jobs than either of the previous two options, according to CBO.
Based on these estimates, you might say that the CBO data points to the GOP option as clearly the best, since it creates more jobs than any of the other alternatives. But it's more complicated than that. This brings us to the second bit of missing context.
What happens after 2012?
CBO found that the economic benefits from a permanent repeal for all taxpayers are higher in the first two years, but that policy comes with troublesome side effects after that.
In his testimony, Elmendorf argued that without other tax hikes or deep spending cuts, a permanent extension of the tax cuts would balloon the deficit to unsustainable levels. That's especially true if Congress extends the tax cuts for all tax brackets.
"A permanent extension of all of those tax cuts without future increases in taxes or reductions in federal spending would roughly double the projected budget deficit in 2020; a permanent extension of those cuts except for certain provisions that would apply only to high-income taxpayers would increase the budget deficit by roughly three-quarters to four-fifths as much," Elmendorf testified. "As a result, if policymakers then wanted to balance the budget in 2020, the required increases in taxes or reductions in spending would amount to a substantial share of the budget—and without significant changes of that sort, federal debt would be on an unsustainable path that would ultimately reduce income. ... Compared with the options examined here for extending the expiring tax cuts, various other options for temporarily reducing taxes or increasing government spending would provide a bigger boost to the economy per dollar of cost to the federal government."
When we contacted the NAM, Erin Streeter, the vice president for communications, said, "With an unemployment rate that remains historically high, today's number edging up to 9.8 percent, we believe the best way forward is job creation. The more jobs we can create, the more economic growth we will see across the nation." But she didn't push back on the substance of our analysis.
So NAM is accurately quoting the numbers on the Republican alternative but conveniently leaving out the detail that the Democratic alternative is nearly as good at creating jobs. It also ignores the CBO's conclusion that extending the tax breaks for upper-income Americans offers diminishing returns. On balance, we rate the statement Half True.

This is a type of termite unique to northern Australia. It is considered the most primitive form of termite alive. It is also called the giant northern termite or Darwin termite.
They can at first be mistaken for cockroaches because they have an abdomen that looks like that of the cockroach but a termite head and thorax. In addition to this their wings have designs similar to those found on the wings of cockroaches. They lay eggs in cases that are similar to those of the cockroach, as well.
They are large with round reddish brown heads. They have two stout mandibles with the left one having one well defined tooth and the right one having two well defined teeth. They build a nest, and when they get to 100,000 or more in population, there is a split with some going off to make sub nests. In highly conducive environments with an ample supply of water and food, they can quickly cause destruction and can be as many as millions in number.
They eat anything organic including plant material, leather, wood and debris. They can be dangerous agricultural pests capable of destroying a large harvest. It can literally bore into a living tree and feed of it till it is hollow, after which it will create a thriving colony within. It hosts the mixotricha paradoxa, which is a protozoa that can live in the body of the termite helping it to digest plant cellulose, and without it chances of survival would be nil.

Friday Notes x Fun Links From Around the Web #6
It's Friday Darlings, Friday!
And like most people, I'm generally thankful for this day and often think it doesn't come quickly enough. The only time I feel Fridays come too quickly is when I have to write these notes, and I realise I hadn't been quite prepared. I'm often like "what, Friday already!". That happened last night and I slept off at 3 am without writing!
What a week it's been though. I'm mentally giving myself a pat on the back for successfully publishing 2 blog posts this week, which were very well received!
And the tweet I woke up to this morning? It totally warmed my insides but at the same time I burst out laughing. I tweeted that I was back to being obsessed with my blog, and a reader replied that she loves it although she often complains in her head that I'm too consistent and she's always having to catch up!
Is there such a thing as being too consistent? Right at this minute when I feel that I'd totally slacked with my blog. Even Tee had to ask "what's going on with your blog?.. we your readers will go and find another favourite blogger oh". So thank you for sticking with me! The aim is for a daily lifestyle blog - your one stop a day favourite blog. I'm still so far from that goal, but hey, one step at a time.
Thank you a million times for all your prayers and well wishes on our new home. I would love to share some photos, once I can, and I hope that someone with a higher level of photography skill than me would be able to help. So hoping we get rid of the boxes soon enough before the newness of the house fades! Yesterday someone said she moved into her house over 10 years ago and still has unopened boxes. What!?
So, let me share something that happened this past week. I think sometimes we share just the good stuff, we forget that real life happens in so many situations. And I constantly try to be as real as can be. Guess what? I failed my driving test again last week!!
I wrote this post when I failed it the first time. And now, this makes it the 4th time. I was literally heartbroken because I drove really well. But apparently had a number of minors on the 'undue hesitation' i.e. I'm being a bit too patient at roundabouts and that could frustrate road users. Also, I might have been slightly distracted and failed to see the middle aged man who was waiting to use the pedestrian crossing. I didn't stop (but I didn't run into him or anything close!) and that was a serious fault.
But I've chosen to see the positive. Fine it's frustrating, but guess whose reversing is a million times better? Like I finally understand the logic of being able to reverse a car, and reverse park in a bay. If I'd passed the first, second or even third time, I wouldn't have kept practicing that - and who knows how that might affect me going down the line? After all, once you have a driving license in the UK, it's valid for another 50 years. So it's important I get it right. In 10 years' time I won't remember the hassle I had to go through.
No doubt it's frustrating. I've had to pay for 6 driving tests (at £62 per one), paid hundreds of pounds for a driving instructor - which yielded no results. Finally got a little car to practice in (which is a great idea by the way as I can drive as long as Tee who has had a license for three years is beside me). But then, I pay road tax and insurance on a car I don't drive that much. Oh and I have to retake my theory test, because I haven't managed to pass the practical within two years of my first test. My brother jokes that I shouldn't be worried about retaking a theory test - after all with my two first class degrees, reading and theory is the least of my worries! Haha.
Phew! I have to pass it this year though because the rules change in December and it gets slightly tougher I think. Plus it's one of my 2017 goals (just realised it was actually the first on the list!)
I've gone on for a bit, but I wanted to emphasise persistence and the need to just keep trying in whatever you're aiming for. I realise a driving test might seem so little in relation to some of the things you're working at. But for me, at this point, it's the hardest thing I've ever had to learn. Life is hardly ever that straight forward. There's so much detour on the success route. But when you finally achieve it, you'd forget the pains (hopefully!). Keep pressing!
Ok, enough of motivational speaker Kachee.
Let's see what fun links we've got this weekend?
~ my friend Sally who taught me to play Netball in Cambridge - is having a baby! (told you in my last interview post with 9 yummy mummies that a lot of my friends are!) and I quite enjoyed her piece 'Avocado Baby' on her experience so far!
~ and then when the baby comes, Osemhen writes this awesome piece about the un-glamorous life of a working parent.
~ starting a blog and being more open online has caused me to meet some amazing people! And so this viral piece about online friendships and an empty baby car seat made people still see the good in the world.
~ if nothing else, children often make you see the good in the world. See Anu's friends reaction to her prosthetic leg. You might need some tissue…
~ Some of you probably know my full Nigerian (Igbo) name is Onyekachi. Once in high school, I joked that it was jaw breaking and ended up shortening it to Kachee. Being in the UK as well, we end up pronouncing it not using the proper accent. But is that right? Should we be worried? BBC's Nkem Ifejika explains why he stopped mis-pronouncing his Igbo name. Insightful!
~ I think as humans we change. Is that such a bad thing in marriage? Lots of marriages hit rock bottom and we hear comments like "he changed!" or "she's no longer the woman I married". This piece sheds good light - to stay married, embrace change! I'll add, within reason.
~ A mix of career and marriage? One topic women love to talk about. Sheryl Sandberg COO of Facebook and author of the amazing book 'Lean In' recently started dating again after the death of her husband. She shares one question women should ask on a first date! What do you think?
Related: First Date Disaster Stories
~ Haha. Still on the above and quite hilarious, this bad ass got accepted to 7 Ivy League schools but couldn't find a man to take her to the prom. So she showed up with her Harvard acceptance letter as her date! Here's the full story.
~ Let's talk a bit about food? Nigerian garden-eggs are so common in an Igbo household, and while I didn't mind eating them with 'ose oji' - Nigerian peanut butter sauce, I didn't think there was much more to it. This piece on Pemi's grandma and garden eggs is enjoyable.
This has been a pretty long post, so I'l stop here. But I really like to know what you think of these Friday Notes x Links. I really love writing them, but need to be sure it's mutual. And I have been slacking and only posting them once every two weeks. Would you like it to be weekly as planned?
Hope you have a great weekend. I'll still be busy un-packing and should be attending a first year party. Remember I wrote about my first year birthday in this post. I definitely hope this child has a better experience. But then her mum is a photographer, so I'm sure it will be!
How was this past week for you and what are your weekend plans!
pS: there will be a giveaway on the blog this weekend, so keep your eyes peeled to the space.
ppS: Are you following me on Twitter and Instagram? People are often super surprised when I reply to my DMs. But it's such a great way to connect, and I love it. Follow me @KacheeTee on both!

Yesterday your Joomla site worked just fine. Today is misbehaving. And you're clueless... Right? Hey, you're not the first one having this experience. You're on the good site where you might find the cure for your problem!
Today I had to upgrade an old, Joomla 2.5.7 site to latest Joomla, everything went out fine until I had to do the first critical step - the upgrade from Joomla 2.5.28 to Joomla 3.51. Did I mentioned that server has PHP 5.6.25 withouth possibility to upgrade - at least not on short term?
OK, so, wasn't the best setup condition available, but usually this is not a dealbreaker.
And BUMM, I have seen an old "friend", a popup saying:
ERROR: Invalid login
Read more ...
... and does this randomly, both in frontend and backend, sometimes showing the correct pages, and rarely an error message saying, that "table '#__session' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed".
After updating K2 to version 3.6.3, in the backend, when tried to edit one of items, I got this error:
Error decoding JSON data: Syntax error.
After upgrading to Joomla 3.6 I had a nasty surprise - in the Joomla Installer the tabs - Install from file, Install from folder etc.., all but the Install from Web - where all gone. Of course, nothing found on the web: this happens when you are an early adopter. But I discovered the "fix" accidentally, on my own.
If you search on Google for the term "joomla can't login after moving to new server" - or something similar, you will get more, than 1 million hits for most of the combinations.
So, you aren't alone. And there are plenty of suggestions, on what might gone wrong and how you might find that, and there are verious fixes. But what if you moved the site to another domain? From development server to it's final place? This is a subject wich is rarely touched by those advices.
You just upgraded your Joomla site to latest Joomla 2.5 or 3.* and your regular, registered users cannot login to the frontend, seeing this error:
What to do when you got hacked? Here you can find some advices, tricks and tips on what you can do!
