Dr Newton Howard is the Chairman of the Brain Sciences Foundation and currently serves as Associate Professor of Computational Neuroscience and Functional Neurosurgery at the University of Oxford, where he manages the newly-formed Computational Neuroscience Lab. He is also the Director of the Synthetic Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, where he had served as the Founder and Director of the MIT Mind Machine Project from 2008 to 2012.
Dr Howard is an active member of several research laboratories worldwide, including the Descartes Institute, the Brain Physics Group and INSERM, in Paris.
Dr Howard has been involved in a wide range of research, spanning academic, military and commercial domains. His work is presently focused on understanding how the endogenous processes within the human brain produce consciousness, thought and language, with the objective of providing methods of early detection and advanced treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's Disease (PD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, epilepsy and diabetes.
Dr Howard has made several significant contributions to the fields of neuroscience, linguistics and national defense, including the Physics of Cognition (a mathematical framework for modeling complex medical, economic and security equilibriums), Intention Awareness (a theory for predictive modeling of naturalistic systems), Mood State Indicators (an algorithm to model mental processes involved in human speech to predict emotional states), ADAMA (a method of autonomously identifying and contextually understanding metaphors in language), the Functional Code Unit (a method for translating neurological signaling to logical data structures) and most recently, the Brain Code (a multivariate analytical model designed to extract emergent properties of the brain's neuronal system).
His theory of Intention Awareness has made a significant impact on the design of military command and control systems as well as information exchange systems used at tactical, operational and strategic levels and provides a model for explaining volition in human intelligence. His work has contributed to more than 30 U.S. patents and over 40 publications in the areas of cognitive and computational theory, and has garnered him several awards and honors, including a nomination to the White House fellowship.

Just two days after Deutsche Bank co-CEOs Anshu Jain and Jürgen Fitschen announced their resignations, the bank's offices in Germany, France, and the UK have been searched by authorities.
Deutsche says the searches are related to "security deals by clients" and apparently do not involve allegations of wrogndoing by the employees.
From Reuters:
Deutsche Bank confirmed its offices in Frankfurt had been searched on Tuesday and said investigators were looking for evidence related to client transactions, with no Deutsche Bank employees accused of wrong-doing.
A spokesman for Germany's largest lender said the raid had been conducted on behalf of prosecutors in the German city of Wiesbaden, who were seeking evidence of securities transactions by the bank's clients.
Statement from the bank:
Today the offices of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt are being searched by the Public Prosecutor's Office. The search relates to an investigation into securities transactions by clients. Employees of Deutsche Bank are not accused of any wrongdoing.
From Spiegel (via Google translate):
The specific allegations, the Attorney General's Office Frankfurt declined to comment first. Introduce "in an ongoing process procedural coercion" by a judiciary spokesman said on Tuesday in Frankfurt.
To subject and scope of the investigation, the authority could not say anything because "operational phase" nor walk. However, the spokesman said no one associated with the procedure for VAT fraud in the trading of pollution rights (CO2 allowances).
According to a German bank spokesman, the raid directed against shady business of individual customers. "I can confirm that there is on behalf of the prosecutor's office in Wiesbaden today searches offices of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt," the spokesman said. "The search aims to ensure evidence in connection with investigations against customers with respect to certain securities transactions. There are no employees of the bank accused." More details - about the shops the customer - did not want to call the speaker.

Over the past several years, Deutsche Bank has paid out some $9 billion in connection with legacy litigation and may settle with the DoJ in the coming months over the bank's role in selling shoddy MBS in the pre-crisis years. Here's more on the bank's various legal troubles.
From DB annual report:
We are currently the subject of regulatory and criminal industry-wide investigations relating to interbank offered rates, as well as civil actions. Due to a number of uncertainties, including those related to the high profile of the matters and other banks' settlement negotiations, the eventual outcome of these matters is unpredictable, and may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and reputation.
A number of regulatory and law enforcement agencies globally are currently investigating us in connection with misconduct relating to manipulation of foreign exchange rates. The extent of our financial exposure to these matters could be material, and our reputation may suffer material harm as a result.
A number of regulatory authorities are currently investigating or seeking information from us in connection with transactions with Monte dei Paschi di Siena. The extent of our financial exposure to these matters could be material, and our reputation may be harmed.
Regulatory and law enforcement agencies in the United States are investigating whether our historical processing of certain U.S. dollar payment orders for parties from countries subject to U.S. embargo laws complied with U.S. federal and state laws.
We have been subject to contractual claims, litigation and governmental investigations in respect of our U.S. residential mortgage loan business that may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or reputation.

There's been a lot of proof of such trends. A major document in the area was the March 22nd Pew Research Center Report Trends in Political Values and Core Attitudes: 1987-2007, subtitled Political Landscape More Favorable to Democrats.
My pinko pessimistic self fears that there are so many DINOs in Congress that they cannot convert this into progressive change. On the other hand, just by standing still, they have come out on the good side of public opinion.
Disclaimer: I don't put a whole lot of credence in most studies and surveys. Certainly those in medical journals and by political or other interest groups contradict each other and often phrase questions to get particular results. In contrast, the Pew Research Center has a very different reputation. For example, they have good sample sizes of representative groups, they repeat many of these studies for decades for comparisons, and they make all their questions and findings part of their reports.
Pew has gone to the public on core political questions for over 20 years. The trends seem to speak to the Dems' inertia and lack of vision as much as to the GOP's immorality, greed and shameless pandering to moneyed interests. Those are my conclusions. Pew is much more circumspect.
I advise reading the report. The summary is here. The whole report with questions and results is here.
Key TrendsThe summary lays out the gist, including:
Increased public support for the social safety net, signs of growing public concern about income inequality, and a diminished appetite for assertive national security policies have improved the political landscape for the Democrats as the 2008 presidential campaign gets underway.If you have noticed and been puzzled by other recent polls showing a low approval for Congress, including Dems, you can see what's happening with this. More and more American voters, particularly self-identified independents are leaning toward Democratic positions and identifying with the party. Yet, this is not the result of Dems' brains, vision or guts.
At the same time, many of the key trends that nurtured the Republican resurgence in the mid-1990s have moderated, according to Pew's longitudinal measures of the public's basic political, social and economic values. The proportion of Americans who support traditional social values has edged downward since 1994, while the proportion of Americans expressing strong personal religious commitment also has declined modestly.
Instead, by my interpretation of the data, the GOP has fallen below the Democrats, who are standing still. The Republicans in both Executive and Legislative branches have acted so immorally, lied so often, been so corrupt that they have simply passed the stupefied Dems on the way down. Embarrassingly enough, voter approval of Dems has hardly wavered, hovering at 50% or a little above for the past decade and one half. Meanwhile, the GOP has seen its ratings go from 67% in in 1994 to 41% this year. See ya!
GOP Going DownIt's no surprise that the arrogance and incompetence of the Republican government has produced:
- Only one in three voters "satisfied with the way things are going in the country, a 25-point decrease in the past seven years."
- "Nearly three-quarters (73%) agree with this statement: 'Today it's really true that the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.' The percentage concurring with this statement has risen eight points since 2002 and represents the highest number in agreement since the early 1990s (80% in 1991)."
- 69% of Americans, including 58% of Republicans agree that "it is the government's responsibility 'to take care of people who can't take care of themselves" — a steadily rising percentage.
- Even with the unceasing drumbeat of terrorism, the percentage of Americans who believe that "The best way to ensure peace is through military strength" has fallen steadily to under half.
- Similarly after the thousands of dead U.S. soldiers, the percentage who agree that "We should get even with any country that tried to take advantage of the U.S." has fallen from a high of 61% to 40% with 54% disagreeing.
- Americans don't want us to torture anyone.
- The younger voters are the less problem they have or even think about homosexuality or same-sex marriage.
- A huge percentage (83%) of Americans are cool with interracial dating, even pre-Boomers (65%).
It's too easy to goof on the Republican voters. It's almost as though party affiliation is an intelligence test, one Republicans repeatedly fail. For one example, "Three-quarters of Republicans with household incomes of $50,000 or less say they are pretty well satisfied with the way things are going for them financially, compared with just 40% of Democrats and a similar share of independents (39%). Even among Republicans who say they often do not have enough money to make ends meet, nearly six-in-ten (58%) express
satisfaction in the way things are going for them financially. By contrast, just 30% of Democrats and 32% of independents who have trouble making ends meet say they are satisfied with their personal financial situation."
There are numerous other such findings in this study. I would like to think that the GOP doesn't necessarily attract most of the simple-minded Americans. There are Republican economists and others who do not appear to be dumb or delusional. Yet in numerous domestic and international issues, personal and broad, Republican respondents tow their President's like (like only 40% are concerned about government collecting their personal information).
Resilient American DreamAmusingly enough, there seems to be one emotional blind spot widely shared. Remember that American dream — work hard and you have as good a chance as the well-born and well-connected to succeed? Well, all of us seem to hold that. The very rare come-from-nowhere winner is all that seems required here. Those who would agree that "Success in life is pretty much determined by forced outside of our control" are below half — 39% of independents, 35% of Democrats and 22% Republicans.
History and economics largely gainsay that view. As Leonard Cohen wrote:
Everybody knows that the dice are loadedNo one can really explain how we believe that the rich are taking from the poor and simultaneously that we all have equal shots.
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich T
hat's how it goes
Everybody knows
There is a cluster of other ironies thrown into the mix. For example, 45% overall want smaller government, including 68% of Republicans. Meanwhile, when we have GOP Executives and Legislative branches, we get much bigger government and much higher resulting deficits. Oops.
The picture overall from this report covering trends for two decades is intense. Any Dem politician who considers this at all accurate should be eager to act on its findings.
However, given the Bill-Clinton-style moderate-to-conservative Democrats we have been sending to Washington, and listening to the mush coming from nearly all their current Presidential aspirants, I have to wonder whether they can do it.
Can the Democrats articulate a vision to match the needs and desires of Americans, needs and desires that are largely progressive and egalitarian? It has been a long, long time, perhaps since post-WWI that this big a chance has presented itself.
If we had a Congress full of progressive leftists, this would not be an issue at all. With the current crop though, I am not sure 1) that they have the courage and vision to advance the necessary ends, and 2) whether American voters will or should believe DINOs trying to differentiate themselves from the failed Republicans.

- Security - knowing that your business is protected from malicious attack by outsiders that might have an axe to grind or trying to steal sensitive information.
- Survivability - making sure you have a disaster recovery plan to keep the business operating when things do go wrong.
- Choice - having the freedom to make changes to and select your service provider based on price, service, quality or new capabilities.
With today's announcement of UcSIPT from AudioCodes, businesses deploying Microsoft Communications Server can leverage an AudioCodes E-SBC - one single device that has the ability to:
- Secure SIP Trunks - with an embedded Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC), protecting the business against common SIP-based network attacks coming from the Wide Area Network that traditional firewalls are unable to mitigate.
- Provide Interoperability with SIP Trunks - via a back-to-back user agent with transcoding, virtually any SIP Trunking service provider can be used with Communications Server.
- Deliver Survivability - with an optional integrated media gateway modules, traditional PSTN lines can be maintained and used as back-up circuits in cases where there is a failure in the SIP Trunk connectivity or service.
Jeff Kahn. Chief Strategic Officer and Nimrod Borovsky, VP of Marketing at AudioCodes discuss the UcSIPT strategy and solution set in this video.
It looks like businesses are one step closer to having the choice of SIP Trunking service provider, security and survivability without cobbling together a number of different appliances from different manufactures.

"By the power of the word
I regain my life
I was born to know you
And to name you
This is an excerpt from the poem Liberty by Paul Eluard that was repeated throughout Maps to the Stars and it's really stuck in my head for very positive reasons. Maps to the Stars is incredible, moving and brings attention to the celebrity culture that Hollywood has produced over the years. It's one of those films that keeps you feeling sane as the film steeps further in to the insane, a film you laugh with despite it dealing with intense issues. I will never forget this film.
The script was written by Bruce Wagner who later wrote Dead Stars which was based on the screenplay. It deals with the fame-obsessed, manipulating and image shaming side of Hollywood which is really interesting to watch. The main focus of this film is a money, fame and work obsessed family who have shut out their daughter due to her mental health issues whilst dealing with their own mental health issues. The father, played by John Cusack, has built a career on manipulating the rich and famous and his son, played by Evan Bird, is a very famous, fresh faced and arrogant actor who turns out to be a lot more like his shut out sister than his parents realised. Julianne Moore plays Havana, a washed up aging actress who hires the daughter to be her "Chore-Whore" A.K.A. personal assistant. I don't want to say much more because the film is so clever and can open up a discussion about the influence media has on both celebrities and the public and the many ways it can affect different people, also mental health which is so important and I want many people to watch it.
Every single performance in this film was sensational. Mia Wasikowska gives her best performance to date, Robert Pattinson gives an understated but memorable performance as a limo driver, John Cusack plays a manipulative therapist who takes advantage of the fact that rich and famous people will pay money for his services and goes further with in sessions, Cusack is an incredibly versatile actor (one of my favourites) and it was so great to see him in such a grotesque role – somewhat comparable to his character in Adult World – he was amazing as always. I haven't seen anything else that Evan Bird has been in, but this was definitely a great introduction to him and his abilities because he blew me away, amongst all the recognisable stars he really stood out.
Peter Suschitzky and David Cronenberg worked fantastically well to create this masterpiece. Suschitzky who is an incredibly talented cinematographer did a great job of using the shots to make the more surreal or difficult scenes watchable. I normally can't watch when people get hit in films, but there is a point in the film where Mia Wasikowska's character hits Julianne Moore's character on the head with a blunt object and I was strangely entranced (just as the character was) and that impressed me from a film makers perspective. Cronenberg deserves so much credit because he is clearly a very talented director, all of his actors did an amazing job, the film was choreographed perfectly and will stay with me for a very long time.

Life has been a whirlwind lately since Paisley started school. I'm hoping by next week I am back on to blogging regularly. This weekend I came down with a lovely bug from daycare so I was down for the count while hubs worked a 48. So thankful for my parents who helped man the girls Saturday evening and most of Sunday. Last night I felt well enough to see progress on my parent's new house and then check the cows. Paisley's longhorn Rose stopped to say hello. She has the prettiest lashes and is such a good mama. We took the girls on the golf cart through the pasture and caught this little gem on video. Listen for our two little cows in the back ground. LOL
This girl has been walking non stop and finally started to wear shoes. She is seriously hilarious and is loving her mobile freedom. Her sister started to "
walk run" about the same age. Time to break out the Nike's again. We realized that she too has known for sometime how and probably has been walking because she didn't take the traditional toddle steps. She just headed towards dad and didn't have a care. Little mess.Said shoes. I can't handle the cuteness of baby Birkenstock lookalikes. Gymboree. Go grab them. And those little tiny pigs. <3 I started a new book. It has been on my must read list for sometime and I sort of forgot about it until I saw the movie trailer last week. Yeah, I won't be wearing makeup to that one. The book is amazing so far. Go to the library, y'all.The only snap chat filter that removes "most" of the bags under my eyes. You could pack for weeks in them. #momstatus SC: sweetkenzielouThursday was hair day for Mom and Pais. She wanted to "paint her hair red like Ariel" but Sheila had to decline the request until she's at least 16. HA! I had a few inches taken off of mine, covered a few grays, and added a little dark to mix in with my natural and cover up the blonde I did for summer.
We also celebrated my best friend's birthday with a mini surprise party at her house. <3 She shouldn't let people know where the hide-a-key is. ;) Love this girl more than words can say and so thankful she is our little's god mother. And we spent many nights visiting Daddy at the station, honking the horn and turning on the lights. I love that she still says "fighter fighter" and I'll be clinging to that little voice for as long as I can. Why do kids have to grow up? I hope you all have a great week! I have a few posts lined up that I am excited about and can't wait to share.

So you've received a problem solution writing assignment but you aren't quite sure how to begin. These kinds of assignments basically ask a student to provide a solution to a very specific problem. The first step is to analyze the problem, then put your thesis out as a solution to that problem. The best way to learn how to properly write one of these papers is by reviewing a proofread example. Here are a few tips for finding a reliable one:
When you need any kind of writing assistance and want to be sure you receive quality work, it's a good idea to go with a professional writing company. The same is true whenever you need an example of any kind of essay. Be sure to research some companies before making your selection. While there are plenty of great options, some companies aren't as qualified as others.
If you have a library account at a university you'll have access to hundreds of print and online academic journals where you can find great samples of problem solution essays for you to learn from. Try to check out journals that relate to the discipline and the topic you are studying. Not only will you learn about the elements of a well-written piece but you can also get a head start on your research.
It's always a good idea to first check with your professor whenever you get a new kind of assignment. You should use whatever resources you have available to you, and your instructor will likely have the tools you need to succeed. Ask early in the semester so you can be sure to receive sample copies that are helpful and are closely related to your topic of choice.
When you start classes you will find that it's often to your benefit to connect with as many students as possible. Networking is made much easier today than two decades ago, largely because of the dozens of online student communities that have gone up online. Join a community and ask for assistance whenever you're in need.
Lastly, don't forget to check with some of your friends for a good example of a proofread problem solution paper. Not only will you find someone who may have a great sample for you to reference, but you'll also get a chance to review a paper that has earned a high grade in another class. Remember, the key is to use all the resources you can.

The endless speculation surrounding Apple's products is often entertaining but rarely rises to the level of news. But I am making an exception today. Peter Zigich, the mind behind the iPad3D design firm, and he's put together a few renders that show what he thinks the new iPhones (plural) could look like:
The image above shows the iPhone 5 next to Peter's fictitious iPhones: the iPhone 6 Mini, iPhone 6, & iPhone 6 XL. Peter doesn't have any info to suggest that these models exist, so they just represent his vision of what they could look like.
But they are cool nonetheless.
Peter is speculating that the next iPhone could end up being a trio of models, not just the single new model Apple has released each time. His models are all based on Apple keeping the existing 4" screen from the current iPhone or even making it larger.
The iPhone 6 Mini, for example, is basically a current iPhone 5 with the lower fraction of an inch of bezel cut off. The iPhone 6 keeps the same dimensions as the current iPhone 5, only it has a larger screen with enough room for another row of icons. And of course the iPhone 6 XL is the rumored phablet iPhone that we are all hoping Apple is making.
Peter came up with the designs by moving the home button to the sides of the new devices. That's an interesting idea, but it is also a poor design. He placed the button on the bottom half the the left and right edges. That is where everyone grips their phones, so Peter's home buttons are going to be accidentally pressed quite often.
Personally, I don't think any of these are all that plausible, though the iPhone 6 Mini looks interesting. I expect Apple's new iPhones to have a screen resolution that can be expressed as a multiple of the screen resolutions on the current devices: 1x, 2x, etc.
They will be want to minimize the amount of extra work they are introducing for iOS developers. Aside from the iPhone 5, this is what Apple has done in the past when they introduced the Retina Displays. I think they will keep with what works.
My guess is that if Apple releases a new and larger iPhone it will have a screen resolution that matches the Retina Display on the iPad 4 (2048x1536) or it will have a screen resolution 4 times as high as the one on the current iPhone 5 (2272x1280). I won't speculate as to the size of the screen but it will pack the pixels in tighter than anyone can see.

Why You Should Consider Installing A Backup Camera?
Despite the fact that you might feel safe while driving an SUV or RV, there are still some drawbacks in driving these sturdy and large vehicles. The primary issue with these kinds of vehicles is the blind spots, which anyone who owns such knows of. Blind spots made backing up a real challenge. You simply can't see everything in rear view mirror so you turn around to be sure that everything is clear. Basically, this is where blind spots begin to become a problem. Well the good thing is, you can drive these vehicles with great confidence if you have a backup camera installed on it.
Such device is a special camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle that's often pointed downward than straight back in order to help the driver see what is behind them on the ground. The camera transmits signal into the dash mounted monitor that allows the driver see the image easily. The cameras make it easier as well to detect posts, curbs and even children's toys. You can back out even of the tightest spot effortlessly when used together with the rear view mirror.
Today, you will find that there are 2 different types of cameras available. There is the wireless model or hardwired models. In the former, these devices have hassle-free installation but they are more expensive than their hardwired counterparts. Be sure that you have reviewed the cost of installation when buying a camera. While many drivers may install either type of system, by far the wireless models are simplest to be installed. Another factor that should be taken into consideration when buying such system is the vehicle's size where it'll be installed. As an example, an RV needs a different system in comparison to a small sedan.
Most of the automobile manufacturers offer camera as standard option particularly on SUVs and trucks. These systems on the other hand are also widely available at various car parts stores and even from retailers online. You might want to consider installing the system by yourself even if you have the option to buy a system from a dealership.
A car backup camera may be used in almost any kind of vehicle and not just in RVs or SUVs. If there is a camera installed, doing parallel parking is a lot easier regardless of what car you are driving. A camera can even be a big help in preventing accidents that may potentially lead to injury and finally, be able to help you save serious sum of money on paying increased premiums of insurance.

Jersey Shore Season 3 to Kick Off January 6
The Jersey Shore season finale just finished airing, but dry your eyes. Snooki, JWoww, The Situation and the gang will be running it back sooner, rather than later.
Season Three begins January 6 on MTV!
"All the relationships start taking a turn, some for the good, some bad," co-creator and executive producer SallyAnn Salsano teases of the new season.
"There are some new hook-ups both in the house and outside. They're still the same cast, but I think how they deal with situations is completely different."
The same cast plus one. Deena Nicole Cortese joins the show to replace Angelina Pivarnick, who stirred up drama, then quit both of the first two seasons.
"It was hard for her to come in since there was a pre-existing relationship between everyone," Salsano said. "There was literally no shortage of drama."

This Paleo Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is so moist, packed with chocolate chips and easy to make! Gluten free, dairy free, and naturally sweetened- a healthier version that everyone will love!
Zucchini bread is a summer classic. I've been making it since I first learned to bake and I just love how much moisture shredded zucchini adds to the quick bread. I decided to go the chocolate chip route since they always seem to make everything better. 🙂
This bread is super easy to make. Shredding the zucchini is what takes the longest and even that is quick. Everything is mixed in one bowl, making clean up super easy. The combination of almond and tapioca flour gives this bread the best texture. It's moist and soft, not spongey like some paleo baked goods.
I measured the zucchini in cups, not number of zucchinis because the size can vary so much. I've seen them super little and ones almost as big as my arm. It should take about 2 medium zucchinis, but if you have some in your garden or from the farmers market that are on the larger side, it will probably only take 1.
Speaking of zucchini- I never peel mine because the skin is so soft you can't taste it or notice it. It does have a few green specks throughout the bread though and if you're baking for picky eaters you may want to peel them to make it less noticeable.
My daughter thought I put those chocolate chips out just for her!
This bread is naturally sweetened with coconut sugar. It's not overly sweet and is balanced perfectly with the chocolate chips. Using Golden Barrel Coconut Oil in place of butter keeps it dairy free. It makes a great snack or even breakfast.
This zucchini bread is one of my favorite treats and I think you'll love it as well! Super easy to make and so delicious!
- 2 cups shredded zucchini about 2 medium
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup Golden Barrel Coconut Oil, melted
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dairy free mini chocolate chips (plus 2 tablespoons for the top)
- Preheat oven to 325° and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the zucchini in a medium bowl (the bowl you shredded into) and press it gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. It doesn't need to be squeezed hard, just a little moisture needs to be removed.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir well.
- Add in the coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly mixed.
- Add in the chocolate chips, stir, and pour into the prepared pan. Top with additional chocolate chips and bake for 50-53 minutes. Top should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Enjoy right away or at room temperature. All leftovers are best kept in the fridge.

19 November 2017
Well as I stated in my last post, work on the cabin has commenced.
Of course since I am new at this boat building thing, I started with making an error. I wanted to tie all the cabin studs together in an effort to get the rectangular shape of the cabin. I figured the best way to do this at first was to use small pieces of timber cut to the exact length between the studs along the sheer. Once they were cut I would glue and screw them in between the cabin studs so that the port and starboard sides of the cabin were for the most part plum. What a bloody nightmare and effort in futility that turned out to be! I found that it was like trying to stack jinga blocks while people were playing. None turned out exactly on their marks as to where they needed to be. I therefore thought to myself that there must be an easier way to do this that would also provide better results.
The idea that I came up with to solve this problem was to scarf scrap pieces of 2×4 that I had ripped to make the studs into long pieces that spanned the cabin length. Once those dried I went ahead and cut notches into each and every cabin stud at the top right under the overall cabin height marks. Using the timbers I had scarfed as a guide. I outlined the exact area of the notches on the frames as well as their corresponding spots of the scarfed timbers so I could match them up again. Using my handy sonic crafter oscillating tool, I cut the notches in each of the studs. While this required a bit of leaning, twisting and almost all the work was done overhead; the end product produced far better results. I still used the distance along the sheer between the studs to get my measurements; once emplaced the result was no doubt far superior. The timbers holding the cabin sides plum were glued and screwed in place in their notches.
The next day I decided that I would work on fixing the roof brackets to their areas on the pre-identified studs. The roof will be held up with 1×6's on cut brackets at the forward, midships and aft portions of the cabin. These 1×6's were shaped to the exact curvature of the roof using my saws and an electric planer before being sanded uniformly. Once the brackets are emplaced on their studs, I will cut the roof frames or rafters so that they fit. The brackets themselves are once again repurposed scrap pieces of the 1×6's about 9 inches square that I cut at a 45 degree angle. Some planning needed to be done to them so that they would sit flush and plum on the studs.
My wife came out to help me mock up the brackets. This required her holding them on their marks while I pre-drilled and screwed them in place to ensure they sat the way we needed them too. Once that was done (and a bit of an ordeal it was), I mixed up a batch of thickened epoxy and we permanently attached them.
Since it is beginning to get a bit chilly, I used my heat lamps on three of them not near an immediate heat source to ensure the epoxy stayed at its required working temp.
Up next is to attach the roof frames or rafters to their brackets. Hopefully this will be a bit easier than the other work that has been done on the cabin so far. I somehow doubt it lol!

Young person category, commended: Urban Mother by Katya Schouvaloff: 'I was on a cycle ride with my family when I spotted this swan sitting on her nest. Her nest was beautifully constructed out of bits of rubbish. Suddenly she stood up and revealed seven pale blue eggs. It was amazing!' [Katya Schouvaloff]
The Telegraph has this on the suicide bomber at the CIA base:
[A] former senior intelligence official told the Associated Press that the man was being courted as an informant and that it was the first time he had been brought inside the camp.
The official said a senior and experienced CIA debriefer came from Kabul for the meeting, suggesting that the purpose of the session was to gain intelligence.
That official and another former intelligence officer with knowledge of the attack spoke to the news agency on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak publicly.
The CIA would not confirm the details, and said it was still gathering evidence.
"It's far too early to draw conclusions about something that happened just yesterday," said spokesman George Little. snip
And that information sure is not in the FP article in the NYT on the bombing… which still flails around.
[T]he use of an army uniform raised the possibility that the uniform was stolen or that the Afghan National Army ranks had been infiltrated by insurgents, a potentially more serious and pervasive problem.
The attack happened close to dusk, when some people on the base were finishing their daily work and relaxing or taking a break before dinner or before returning to their offices for the evening.
A NATO official said the bomber managed to elude security and reach an area near the base's gym. Among other questions raised was whether the bomber worked at the base and had clearance, or if a security slip allowed him to gain entry. snip
Such fun…

[T]he nigerian connection: Al-Qa'ida gaining strength in formerly moderate West Africa
If the attempt to obliterate Northwest Airlines flight 253 came as a shock for the United States in the middle of its Christmas holiday, the suggestion that the would-be bomber came from West Africa via al-Qa'ida should not have been a complete surprise.
More than eight years after the 11 September attacks, the United States is still aware of the significance of al-Qa'ida, but the group has appeared less of a clear and present danger as the years have passed. However, less than a week before the Nigerian student Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab boarded his flight to Detroit, The Washington Post had warned, grimly and prominently, of a new source of concern from the terror group.
An article warning of "worrying signs" that al-Qa'ida sympathisers were bringing "a violent brand of Islam to moderate parts of West Africa" catalogued a series of attacks in recent months that have accentuated fears that a group, mainly of Algerians, were threatening to radicalise areas where Muslims were in the majority. Al-Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (Aqim) was held responsible for the execution of the Briton Edwin Dyer and an army colonel in Mali, the killing of an American teacher and a suicide bombing in Mauritania, as well as the kidnapping of two Canadian diplomats in Niger. The recent arrest of three Malian al-Qa'ida suspects in Ghana, over claims that they were conspiring to smuggle South American cocaine through Africa, can be added to evidence that terrorists are taking advantage of disease, poverty, a disenchantment with authority and breakdown of the rule of law in large areas. While Western intelligence services have focused on the growing terrorist threat from East Africa, some of the most dangerous groups have been prospering on the other side of the continent.
Mali has become the centre of al-Qa'ida activity since the group arrived from the north in 2007. The extremist Algerians who made up the Salafist Group for Preaching and Jihad settled in the Malian desert and quickly renamed themselves Aqim. The West African wing of al-Qa'ida has been accused of gun-running, kidnapping, murder and now, for the first time, involvement in the drugs trade.
Intelligence analysts also maintain that Aqim has been seeking new recruits in large, "ungovernable" swathes of nation-states – many of which have large Muslim populations – mimicking al-Qa'ida in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Encouraged by CIA warnings over the growing threat posed by the region, the US has diverted some $500m (£313m) to bolster the counter-terrorism capabilities of 10 countries – although some critics have complained that the effort has not produced lasting results so far.
The near-miss experienced over Detroit last week offered a chilling reminder that al-Qa'ida has not gone away but, in fact, has spread its tentacles far beyond its original base. The Americans and their allies in West African governments will be under intense pressure to turn the tide and prove that they are winning the battle.
Grab a gun or a Molotov cocktail… or, hey!, a rocket launcher and join in: Blessed are the Peace Prize winners.
Arms dealers the world over are standing and cheering… as we live in a hideous cartoon.

Well, the Greater Bay Area (it extends north of the Bay, into Napa Sonoma) managed to declare a "Spare the Air Day" for Christmas Day… SF Gate…. thus banning any fireplace or wood stove burning – of any solid fuel, wood, duraflame logs or other. Now I am not at all fond of wood burning stoves. The weather has to be still as can be and very very cold or I am in trouble right away. HOWEVER, this is some people's only form of heat.
Fortunately we are having a very mild Christmas week…

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay!… Truly!
Report: ICE Runs Secret Immigrant Detention Sites in US
The Nation magazine is reporting the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is holding undocumented immigrants in secret sites across the United States.
In addition to its publicly listed field offices and detention sites, ICE is confining people in 186 unlisted and unmarked subfield offices. Many of the offices are in suburban office parks or commercial spaces revealing no information about their ICE tenants.
In Los Angeles, ICE is holding immigrants in a barely converted storage space tucked away in a large downtown federal building.
During a conference last year, an ICE official, James Pendergraph, openly talked about ICE's ability to disappear people. Pendergraph said, "If you don't have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he's illegal, we can make him disappear."
Meanwhile, The Nation magazine is also reporting ICE agents regularly impersonate civilians and rely on other illegal tricks in order to arrest longtime US residents who have no criminal history. ICE agents have posed as Occupational Safety and Health inspectors, insurance agents and even religious workers.
Joy to the World. I doubt any of that will be changing anytime soon.
So…………. is it better when it is the same but just not BUSH?
UPDATE, 12:49 am on the Pacific Ocean
More joy to the world:
And what of the amendments supported by members of the Progressive Democratic Caucus, the supporters of single-payer (SP): John Conyers, Anthony Weiner, Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders and Jan Schakowsky?
At every critical moment these politicians with vertebrae composed of Jello compromised, backed down and conceded. Their allegiance to the Democratic Party and to President Obama trumped everything. There was nothing they were not willing to compromise away, no constituency that couldn't be thrown under the bus for the sake of passing a bill; most appallingly women and abortion rights. With the exception of Dennis Kucinich and Eric Massa, they all voted for the house bill that contained the Stupak Amendment. At a small protest in front of Jan Schakowsky's home after the vote, she came out and told protesters she voted in favor of the Stupak Amendment because she knew it would be taken out of the Senate bill. She promised us it would be. As Schak strolled back into her opulent residence she protested, "I didn't throw women under the bus."
The progressive Democrats sold out on single-payer early on when they backed the public option. This created enormous confusion: How could they advocate for both single-payer and the public option when the two are diametrically opposed? It didn't take long before they all shilled almost exclusively for the public option. Schakowsky spoke at numerous HCAN meetings and rallies, never at single-payer events. Weiner was regularly interviewed by the press and focused the discussion on the public option, not single-payer.
John Conyers, the lead sponsor of the single-payer bill H.R. 676, immediately endorsed the principles of Health Care for America Now (HCAN), an organization opposed to single-payer. When confronted by single-payer supporters at a Health Care Now! national conference, Conyers couldn't explain the contradiction. Joel Segal, one of his staffers, became enraged and attempted to shut down the discussion. Soon after, Mr. Conyers became irrelevant to the movement for single-payer and a colossal embarrassment to it. It's tragic, really. Conyers completely abandoned his magnificent legislation, H.R. 676: the only legislation that could transform health care from a commodity to an entitlement for all and solve the crisis. Instead of fighting for that legislation, he was holding briefings with Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee to discuss "Why the public option must be included to have true health reform."
All of them in it together.
UPDATE, 4:54 am — on the Pacific Ocean………
Just made it to the end of the The Nation article (all of two pages…) and this is the close:
[A]n attorney who had a client held in a subfield office said on background, "The president released in January a memorandum about transparency, but that's not happening. He says one thing, but we have these clandestine operations, akin to extraordinary renditions within the United States. They're misguided as to what their true mission is, and they are doing things contrary to the best interests of the country."
His feet are utterly elusive of the fire.

On Monday morning, German news agency, DPA, reported that police were happier with motorists: they said that German drivers had become used to the icy weather, were prepared and were driving more sensibly. Accidents were back to more average levels, the police noted. [Spiegel]
hmm something about the pic reminds me of our political situation. Fucking stuck. AND the "legend" makes me think of what the political class in Washington are saying about the populace: they've calmed down, they got used it. They may not smile, but they will take it.
There is a lot of rage out there… "the people" are not happy, but I am clueless what if anything they will actually do….
HA! Instant update! Just spied this over at Counterpunch… My own opinion is that a weak pretzel is a useless pretzel. And, a weak one may indeed be a danger.
But hey, this is Nader talking, not me.
[G]iven all the burgeoning crises in the United States and the world, the only global military and economic superpower (albeit in serious deficit straits) needs a transforming leader, when, at best, it has a transactional leader in the White House.
I say "at best," because President Obama displays an uncanny inability to deal. He is not even anywhere near Lyndon Baines Johnson in that regard. This lack is due more to his personality than to his character.
His is a concessionary demeanor, an aversion to conflict and to taking on entrenched power, a devotee of harmony ideology not because he doesn't believe in necessary re-directions, but because he does not project the strength of his beliefs and willingness to draw the line-here and no further-as did Ronald Reagan or FDR.
In the shark tank known as the federal Washington, D.C. Obama's personality projects weakness as someone who does not take a stand and fight, as someone inclined to rely on his rhetoric to explain his withdrawals, retreats and reversals. Some examples follow. snip snap!

One million people battle Parkinson's
Luncheon attendees wait for Dr. John Bertoni to arrive at Brian LGH East for his presentation on Parkinson's disease.
Photo and story by Jessica Sorensen, NewsNetNebraska
More than 4,500 people are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease every month.
But Dr. John Bertoni has a strong message. You are not alone. Approximately one million people suffer from Parkinson's disease.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center neurologist talked to an audience of almost 100 people at the Lincoln Parkinson's Disease Support Group special luncheon on November 15.
Every month the group holds a meeting for people with the disease and caregivers at the Madonna Rehabilitation Center. However, this month's meeting was different. The group hosted a special luncheon at Brian LGH featuring Bertoni as the speaker.
Here are some key points from Bertoni's presentation:
- Average age of onset is 62
- Younger people can get Parkinson's disease but it is less common
- Actor Michael J. Fox and boxer Muhammad Ali both have Parkinson's disease
- See a dermatologist at least once a year, as people with the disease can get skin cancer
- Exercise regularly, just don't overdo it
Although the disease is incurable, it is treatable with prescriptions to help with symptoms.
Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder that has symptoms of fatigue, slowness or freezing of movement, tremors, difficult swallowing, stooped posture and depression.
Colleen Andrews attended the meeting for work but said it turned personal as she listened to the symptoms and realized that some pertained to her.
"Dr. Bertoni had really good information, knowledge and it was obvious he has researched Parkinson's a lot," she said. "I had a few questions going in but he answered them all."
Judy Johnson, co-facilitator of the group, said they are trying to learn more about the disease and get more information out to people.
"Parkinson's is a real high-level concern of ours because so many people have it," Johnson said. "And yet it's not well-known in the real world. We just want to get the word out to people about the disease."
Johnson has been with the group for three years and said it has been around for more than 20 years. The group provides support to people who have the disease, as well as caregivers.
Bertoni said researchers are continuing to look for ways to make Parkinson's disease curable.
"The new view on treatment for Parkinson's disease is to begin treatment at the diagnosis," Bertoni said. "Previously the view on this was to not treat until symptoms interfered with daily activities."

Delhi Daredevils 231 for 3 (Sehwag 77, Warner 77) beat Kings XI Punjab 202 for 6 (Marsh 95, Gilchrist 42) by 29 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Delhi finally feels like home for Delhi Daredevils. With players such as Virender Sehwag, David Warner and Morne Morkel in the side, they had been frustrated by lifeless home tracks that made stroke-play and pace bowling difficult. Before this game Sehwag demanded pace, and then in the company of Warner showed just why. They added 146 for the first wicket in 11.4 overs, an ideal platform for a comfortable win despite an equally remarkable innings by Shaun Marsh, and despite the continuing good luck of Kings XI Punjab's openers who were both dropped on nought.
With the ball coming on well on this green pitch, Warner and Sehwag let the bowlers feel their wrath. They were like beasts who had been uncaged after years of confinement, gorging on anything remotely loose. It is a scary thought to imagine what Sehwag would have managed had he not got out for 77 off 35, trying a fourth successive six off the fourth delivery of a David Hussey over. Sehwag even dived into his crease, one of the very few times he has committed that unbecoming act while batting, to bring up his half-century off 28 deliveries, one fewer that Warner took to reach his.
Warner got to his landmark with a trademark pull deep into the stands, his second pulled six and third overall. Sehwag was on only 36 then. It takes some special hitting to dominate the strike and still not frustrate Sehwag. Warner managed that nicely. He began in earnest in the first over, pulling and cutting Praveen Kumar for fours. Ryan Harris managed to trouble him for a bit with the extra bounce, but Warner's comeback was emphatic: a huge pull over midwicket to end Harris' spell of 2-0-13-0 in a score of 35 for 0 after four overs.
The floodgates had just begun to open then. Sehwag tucked into Praveen with three fours in the fifth over, Warner went down on a knee and lofted Shalabh Srivastava's medium-pace over the sightscreen. The middle overs and spread fields mattered little as both batsmen moved to 59 each by the end of the 11th over. Enter Hussey, Punjab's expensive signing, playing his first game this IPL. Sehwag showed his famous disdain for spin through sixes over long-on, cow corner and midwicket. A mis-hit off the fourth ball brought some decorum to the proceedings, with only 38 coming in the next 5.2 overs.
That phase included Warner's wicket for 77 off 48 balls. Temporary relief. Lull between storms. Harris came back to have his figures rearranged, ending with 48 off four to join two other colleagues with 40-plus aggregates to their names. Venugopal Rao and Naman Ojha took 47 off the last three overs to post the third-highest total in IPL history, and Delhi's biggest.
Morkel made a further show of why a pitch with bounce suits Delhi more. He got lift, he got movement, he got an edge second ball, one that was dropped by Ojha. However, Morkel's first spell of three overs for 20, four of which came through a misfield and 10 off free hits, left Punjab an asking rate of 13.2. A period of superb hitting followed, but despite 57 coming off the next four overs, they were just about keeping up with the rate. A five-run over from James Hopes turned the pressure back on, forcing Gilchrist to slog debutant Varun Aaron and miss.
Marsh batted beautifully for his 46-ball 95, fetched mainly through proper cricketing shots in an innings that deserved to be on the winning side. He, though, was swimming against the current, and the current won.

My first preview of the Columbia River M16-01KZ speculated that it might be a decent low-cost EDC for CCW knife. After carrying it around for a few weeks, I don't think you should plan on swapping out your Griptilian or even your Tenacious for one.
I'm not saying it's a bad knife, but it's not a very good EDC for CCW.
The Good
The basics of the M16-01KZ are that it's a very trim pocketknife, four inches long and barely 1″ by 1/2″ wide and thick. The blade is slim and pointy and it takes a wonderfully keen edge. It doesn't hold that edge terribly long, but resharpening it is so easy you probably won't mind much.
The grip is comfortable if a bit small; the shape of the grip makes up for the mediocre grip of the glass-filled nylon scales. The jimped flipper becomes a blade guard to keep your hand from slipping up onto the blade.
It weighs a feathery 2.3 ounces. No Aramid-fiber reinforced tactical belts needed here.
CRKT's 'Auto-LAWKS' prevents the liner lock from releasing the blade until you activate this small lever near the pivot. It adds one step to the blade-closing process but I liked the added security, particularly considering the soft, thin 2Cr13 steel which the liners are made of.
And pay no attention to the jimping on the spine of the blade; it's too small and in the wrong place for it to aid your grip. The grip is fine without it.
The So-So
The Pivot
The M16-01KZ has a thumb-adjustable pivot screw, which is a feature I'd like a lot more if this knife didn't need adjustment quite so frequently. I found myself constantly fiddling with the pivot tightness, trying to find the right balance between blade tightness and ease of opening. I never quite found it.
The pivot can be tightened to completely eliminate blade wobble, which was a pleasant surprise in a very small $20 pocketknife. Unfortunately doing so makes the flipper mechanism sluggish, requiring a truly energetic wrist flick to open the blade fully.
Flipper designs are prone to some degree of tradeoff like this (unless they've got pricey caged ball-bearing pivots) but most of them have a sweet spot where the blade flips open easily but doesn't have a bothersome wobble. The M16-01KZ's lightweight blade works against it here, because it's got almost no inertia to swing it open as you flick it. Heavier flipper blades (cough Benchmade cough) get a big helping hand from Sir Isaac Newton here, but this tiny blade doesn't.
There are nominal opening studs on the shoulder of the blade, but they're designed to function primarily as blade stops when open. They stand so close to the scales when closed that they don't give your opening thumb very much to grip. They work reasonably well, if you're not in a hurry, with the benefit that they don't require any exaggerated flipping motions.
Carry Options
The M16-01KZ offers precisely one carry option: on your right side with the tip down. Southpaws and weak-side carry advocates need not apply. Given this knife's slim dimensions and modest (at best) defensive utility, it might make as much sense to just remove the pocket clip and carry it loose in your pocket.
The Bad?
If by 'bad' you mean useless, unsafe or defective, there's absolutely nothing bad about the M16-01KZ at all. It's a perfectly decent pocketknife, as long as you don't require more than it can deliver.
Cutting Tests
We'll start with the box cardboard. The knife was reasonably sharp from the box, and its slender blade cut cardboard very cleanly and extremely efficiently for the first few dozen feet.
The very sharp edge (which I'd touched up to 40 degrees on the Sharpmaker) was gone after the first twenty or thirty feet, and by fifty or sixty it was taking a lot of effort to pull it through the cardboard. It didn't get hopelessly dull until more than 80 feet of cutting, which is fairly impressive for an unexciting steel like 8Cr15MoV.
The grip is surprisingly well-shaped for this hard knife work, and this was a pleasant surprise for such a small knife. Cutting comfort is usually directly proportional to the size of the knife's handle, and this one was a lot better than I'd expected.
This knife was fantastic on newsprint. A few dozen swipes on the Sharpmaker's 40-degree sticks gave it an exceptional edge, which sliced hanging newsprint with ease and precision. It wasn't quite up to the ultimate Shotgun Newsprint test, but very few knives are.
I expected the M16-01KZ to be absolutely hopeless at cutting 3/4″ manila rope, but the little knife surprised me a bit. The blade has a surprising bite for such a small plain edge, and it could almost pull through a loop of rope in one stroke. It still three or four strokes to saw through the cordage on a cutting board, mostly because the blade has relatively little belly for slicing.
The EDP coating on the blade was pretty well trashed after cutting a substantial pile of rope and cardboard. It still looks like this, but it's sharper now than when it was brand-new.
It earns a B+ for cardboard cutting, A for newsprint, and B- for rope cutting. In the category of 'Ease of Sharpening' it earns an easy A.
There are several factors which put this M16 model pretty much out of the running as a potential defensive/tactical knife. It doesn't open easily enough, the single-sided pocket clip doesn't give enough carry options, and I'm not sure that the .08″ blade will hold up to violent use.
But…if you're interested in this knife and you can find it for $20 like I did, there are plenty of reasons to like it. It's so small and light that you forget it's in your pocket, and it's sturdy enough for routine pocketknife chores. It excels at opening boxes and letters and even diabolical 'blister packs.'
It's not an EDC for CCW, but it's a pretty good pocketknife for the money.

It's big, bold and back in style. The Afro — that high hairstyle that conjures images of psychedelic swirls and flower-printed bell-bottoms — is making its case for the current decade. Stars like Solange Knowles, Questlove and comedian Reggie Watts all rock famous 'fros. And a new book is entirely dedicated to the 'do. The timing makes sense. Natural hair is a perfect fit for a generation that shuns Styrofoam and loves composting, hybrid cars and eco-friendly yoga clothes. "The more they do it, the more people will follow," says celebrity hairstylist Edris Nicholls, owner of Edris Salon, which recently moved to its new location at 35 W. 20th St. "I love [Solange's] hair," she says of Beyoncé's fashion-savvy little sis. "For me, she's much more attractive with her hair in an Afro than with extensions or braids." At Edris Salon, fewer customers are opting for chemical-laden straightening treatments and hair-breaking extensions. "Women are becoming more comfortable with their hair textures," Nicholls says. "The styles today are freer. They're cutting it off and trying to fall in love with their hair again." And, it's easier! "Natural short hair or Afros can be maintained with an easy wash and wear," Nicholls says. "Black women and men are getting tired of relaxers and weaves that over time leave devastating effects on scalps and retardation of hair growth. Plus, the cost of getting these services done is extremely expensive." Read the full article here: The Afro's Back

EVENT DETAILS For years black hair has been more than just hair in American culture. It's been a suppressed racial characteristic, a symbol of political protest and political change and most recently the cause of some very awkward and offensive situations.

But to take things even further, we're exploring the tactile fascination with black hair by holding an interactive public art exhibit in NYC. What: an interactive public art exhibit, dubbed You Can Touch My Hair, where strangers from all walks of life will have the welcomed opportunity to touch various textures of black hair.

PUNKED !on in Clips
The Met Gala is considered the Oscars of the fashion world! The grand stage for hollywood celebrities, models and a light dusting of music personality (mainly Anna Wintour's favorite) mingle with the fashion world. Last night was different than most – They were not doing a review on a fashion designer where everyone chose / borrowed an outfit, it was a focus on a culture and a era. FROM PUNK TO CHOAS – the idea was to reflect on 'punks' influence on fashion today. When the ideas of PUNK comes to mind usually images of Malcolm McClaren, Vivienne Westwood, Soo Catwoman, and Zandra Rhodes are foremost. Faded memories of sweaty studded nights and the sting of melting black eyeliner, we here at Edris Salon waited with anticipation for some dangerously attired arrivals on the Met carpet. Instead, what we got were too many celebrities that are far too terrified of ending up on the worst dressed list. Many in attendance clearly missed the mark with the nights theme! In lieu of giving us anarchy and thought provoking, we were instead greeted with lukewarm and meek. However, not all was lost. There were a few amazing standouts that got it, and got it great. So in the spirit of Soiuxie Siox….let's keep things darkly positive. Madonna: For completely committing to the nights theme, and showing the young girls "Mama can crush the red carpet!". Vivienne Westwood: For being the Queen of punk. Although shame on Vogue.com William Norwich for rudely cutting her off mid-sentence in her interview. Sarah Jessica Parker: For bringing typical fabulous SJPness. Zandra Rhodes: For being the High Priestess Miley Cyrus: For stepping out of her box, and becoming someone to watch Honorable Mention – January Jones: For hair and make-up To all the others, there's always next…

Perfect Full Eyebrows!on in Clips
Eyebrows are becoming increasingly more important in the beauty world. Vogue has published several stories on the importance of a full brow. Not only do they frame and add character to the face but they also help define the look of a person who takes pride in their appearance. Celebrities like Keira Knightley, Natalie Portman, Beyonce and Gisele Bundchen are embracing this look. Today we love a thicker bolder brow, but it can sometimes be hard to achieve. It's important not to pull too many hairs, and to use the right tools. At EDRIS Salon, Quinntin reccommends a good brow primer by Claudio Riaz cosmetics,pencils by Anastasia or brow powder by Laura Mercier. Grooming without over tweezing is the only way to achieve the perfect set of brows
Hair TIp!on in Clips
The last weeks have been so cold on NY and the winter weather dries more than just the skin. The winter months can wreak havoc on your hair, leaving it dry and causing it to lose its luster. This is why many clients come to the EDRIS salon to get their moisture treatments and glazes. Glazes can add or eliminate tones and add shine. Just because winter is dull and drab does not mean your hair cannot have radiance.
Dont' wash it away-Go Gray!on in Clips
It's official—blondes may have more fun but going gray is getting all the attention. On designer runways, in celebrity circles and with the eternally chic–like Daphne Guinness–going gray is anything but granny! From Warhol White to Brillo steel, a new breed of silver streaked Rapunzels are letting their hair down. Young women like Pixie Geldof, Tilda Swinton and Kate Moss have bleached their hair a silver platinum tone. It's a head turning hue for hair and a signature look for icons like Kate Lanphear, fashion editor at Elle—NO—Correction–style director of T Magazine: NY Times Style Magazine who said back in 2010– it's meant to read "more subversive than glamorous." Well, fast forward to 2013. "At Edris, going to gray can be absolutely great and is meant to be more glamorous than subversive." says colorist Joshua "There's absolutely no reason for hesitation. With the new products out there, you can go gray slowly or overnight. Low lights make your hair look like a million bucks during the transition to gray. They give the illusion of uniformity to unevenly graying hair and I can apply color to individual strands of hair to make your transition to silver vixen seamless." Joshua Dieffenbacher, "Whether your tresses are midnight black or arctic ice –straight, kinky or curly locks are my ice creams." So if you want to strike out in a bold new direction this year, come see Joshua—colorist extraordinaire- for a consultation and consider the beauty and ease of your natural gray hair. There may be a silver haired temptress hiding in you.

The eyes say it for you when it comes to I Love You. Stay away from two- faced lovers! Instead, go for two-faced gel eyeliners! They stay true to color and every woman needs one that goes on easy and stays where it's put!" When it comes to terrific color, Quinntin says —"Stick with the classic mascaras. Benefit, Givenchy, YSL and Dior are the only acceptable standards." And–if you're looking for shadows with "a superb range of intense colors—there's nothing like the Nars line." Stop by and "Ask Quinntin" He, along with our marvelous staff of style and colorists will help you put together a look that says I love you this Valentine's Day and every day!
